Welcome to the Trope Pantheons thread! Please read the rules:
- When writing a profile, take note of the following:
- Gods cannot be followers or high priests for obvious reasons. The 'gods' have ascended meaning there is no need for said character to be a follower of another if they have ascended.
- No hype profiles, please. 'Hype Profiles' are profiles that have been made out of ongoing events and have not been around for a long time. This creates 'hype' due to popularity and certain elements either through certain scenes, memes, dramatic acting or considered overly awesome. They are not bad tropes but building a portfolio solely for that is a bad idea, as they do not say a thing about representing the trope best (unless it's those trope concepts that they are trying to embody for a long time)
- You can see one if the profile is only showing off how awesome they are or suddenly pushing how 'significant' they are thanks to the just very recent events rather than respecting the longstanding good representations of the trope. And usually having... minimum portfolio or flavor texts and being a bit too generalized or self-contained to events from within their home series instead of interacting with other Pantheon members.
- When posting in the forum, take note of the following:
- When you suggest a God, please explain why they fit the trope. Not everyone is going to understand just "X should be the God of Y because they exemplify the trope" off the bat, especially if they're unfamiliar with the work.
- You must use the Trope Pantheons discussion thread in the forums if you wish to add a new deity, story, something else of importance to the Trope Pantheon canon, or reworking an existing deity (be it simply improving their existing profile or changing their title).
- For new and reworked deities, 3 means the profile will have a one week waiting period.
- For new and reworked deities, 4 is a 3 day waiting period.
- 5 is an automatic ascension for new and reworked deities.
- Speaking of reworks, for anyone that wants to improve such profiles, they have to review the current trope the character(s) has and see if it still holds up or if there is a better rep for their trope.
- For adding new Treasures to The Great Treasury or new Dominions to the Dominions, the following rules apply:
- For new Treasures or Dominions, 3 is a 3 day waiting period.
- 4 is an automatic addition to the Great Treasury or Dominions.
- Do not repost a profile in the forums more than twice in a day if noticeable changes have not been made in between. If a profile is posted a third time in a row without noticeable alterations, it will be downvoted. This is so spamming of no-effort profiles is less frequent and to prevent tropers from getting aggravated seeing the same profile over and over. The minimum acceptable change has to be a single flavour text.
- The Pantheon is not a mouthpiece for you to voice your opinions on certain characters. You may like certain characters more than others, but do not make the mistake of making profiles for characters you like look like Character Shilling.
- Tropers new to the Pantheon are barred from approving or downvoting profiles until they have ascended at least two profiles.
- Do not include fan reception in any profiles. It has nothing to do with the character themselves and will create unnecessary conflict.
- Write a detailed explanation on why the character is the best candidate for deity of that trope. If people disagree with you, do not force it on the people.
- Keep in mind that if you still want to try to find a trope for a particular character, you are only given three chances to find a particular trope for them. If a suggestion goes past three possible tropes, then it will come off as shoehorning a character into the Pantheon just for the sake of that character to be there.
- On a related note, even if a character does have a free trope being suggested, there is still a limit of three attempts for suggesting that character for that trope. If no one responds to that certain proposal after being posted three times, then it will get to the point where the idea will be seen as being shoehorned into the Pantheon. In addition, the idea needs to be considered acceptable and approved because they are good, not for the sake of pitying others because no one is responding to their idea.
- When posting Pantheon related stuff to the wiki, take note of the following:
- Do not put a link to these Pantheon pages into the main wiki page. The moment you want to add in a main Characters page that the character is a God of this trope, do not do it. If you see leftovers of this practice, inform the forum and use the cutlist. This also goes to the Trivia page. The only exception to this rule is if a page in the Pantheon could be confused for a page in Main, like Good Colors, Evil Colors and Good and Evil Colors.
- Rule of Cautious Editing Judgment ALSO applies here. Do not bring things that would incite fights, even if it is what is currently the hot topic and might be 'urgent'. For example, the political scene and some really bad politicians. We are not here to fight at each other, so don't suggest things that go to that direction, this is a fictional Pantheon after all.
- To add a Pantheon page for a certain work, 4 or more characters coming from the same series/franchise should be ascended before adding the page. For Creator specific pages, 4 deities coming from the same creator and 2 individual work pages coming from the same creator is the minimum to warrant a page.
- Do not create a trope page for a story until the story is fully completed.
- Preparing to write:
- First thing to do before present a profile is to go to the Trope Pantheons discussion thread. In the forums, you must discuss with other users on adding ideas and seek their approval with sound reasoning. You can also get some assistance in the forum thread by either asking for help and those interested asking if they can help. Submissions that are added without discussion are likely to be deleted and those who violate those rules by adding Pantheon content without discussion will get reported to the mods.
- If you feel the need to remove a character for some reason (poor quality, outdated titles, etcetera) and replace him/her with another or outright rework, please see what the other tropers think about this in the discussion thread before doing anything hasty. Use good reasoning to see if your idea can easily replace the character present without drawing out your statement or giving too ambiguous claims most do not understand.
- Please be sure to consult others in the discussion about what you want to work before making the profile. This is done to see if your proposal is the best representative and so, in case your profile is turned down, you do not waste time writing something that others might not find suitable.
- In the same vein, if you adopt a profile from another troper, it is recommended that you make an announcement that you have done so on the discussion thread. More often than not, a trope that was reserved for something was given away to someone else. Check the Related tab on the top of a page to see if a trope or character has been reserved by a user.
- If, for whatever reason, you are writing about a God who just happens to be a person in real life, just try to be very careful about what you decide to say. Do not try to make the editing seem too meta (self-referential) and use the aformentioned creativity to create hypothetical scenarios towards fictional characters.
- When writing a profile for a character, here are a few things to note:
- All deities should be sorted by their divine ranking. Put Overdeities on the top of the page and Quasideities on the bottom. Also be sure to add them in alphabetical order by their first/given name (can be reversed if it is Eastern ordered). For a group, if there is no official name for them all list down all their names by order of relevance or (if too long to list) title them as Insert Name Here Main Characters or some other identifiable title along the same lines.
- The maximum number of tropes that a god can have is two, but do not try to abuse that fact. If you need to use a second trope to specify a certain thing about their position, that can be excused either because said character represents their trope choice very well alongside the first trope. It is still generally encouraged to only have one trope.
- A trope can only belong to one profile at a time. The only time two profiles can share a trope is if there are explicit variations listed in the trope page proper (e.g. Muscle Angst is held by both Biscuit Krueger and Chihiro Fujisaki as the former represents "Too Much Muscle" and the latter represents "Not Enough Muscle")
- If the character you are about to add to a House already exists in another, make sure to mention that this person has spots in other House as well. Up to 2 places can be made for a deity, with the sole exceptions being those at the Main House to highlight those characters’ importance to the Pantheon’s lore.
- For a character's theme song, try to avoid calling it "Theme of God X" or "Theme of (Show where God X originates from)". If possible, try to find out if the song has an actual name through research. Most importantly, it has to be part their series’ official soundtracks from media. Do not list songs that are made by fans or outside sources. If they were not specifically used as music for that specific character, then they do not count. Furthermore, it has to be a general theme specifically made for that characters’ appearances, not some generic music that plays for many other instances not related to the character in question.
- For images, when adding an image for your chosen character, it is highly recommended to use a stylized image that embodies the character or renders that also highlights a character’s behavior (such as cool poses). Most images should be from the main adaptations of the character, unless the images from the other media are of a higher quality than the adaptation. Unless it is needed, do not use fanart for images. If you are, please attribute to the original artist. Due to the website’s dark mode, removing white backgrounds from an image is paramount. This website is suggested to do the background removal. If an image you have takes up too much bytes, it is suggestible to use this site to reduce the byte size. If the byte is still too big, put the compressed image to other sites (or even the same one) to compress even further. Use wikias to look for better images, as even wikias for the series might not contain good official images.
- Creativity is your friend. While it is not recommended to get too ditzy at your ideas, it is best that when writing a profile for a certain character, do you think of capable scenarios between X and Y. Tip: do not use shallow examples (X wields a sword and Y wields one too) and try to think of relationships that makes sense (i.e those characters that are shout-outs for another).
- Pantheon Content:
- Some series or genres will eventually have greater representation in the Pantheon than others. This is unavoidable, but a little diversity helps to make you not look like a shill per say. Try to ensure that if you add a deity from a popular series, make sure that it is because they are a good representative for the trope in question, and not just because they are connected to another deity in their respective canon.
- As far as deities from actual mythologies, there is generally expectation to build the profiles off interactions from fictional portrays rather than basing it entire from the actual myth. Therefore, a mythological deity should be more of a Composite Character whose main identity is from the actual myth.
- Occasionally there will be Gods that carry a title without a trope. This is not forbidden, but it is well advised not to abuse them. The only house that a tropeless profile are wholly allowed is the House of Food. Mainly due to most food items lacking tropes, and adding tropes about said foodstuffs is slightly unnecessary. However, the character being ascended for their choice of a food, or food-related thing must be a decently good representative of said item. (i.e their Trademark Favorite Food, or something that they are closely associated with In-Universe, or both).
- For Dominions and Treasures profiles, always consider what made those places/objects popular in the first place. Were they plot-important, identifiable imagery or have a unique aspect of it? Do not just bring regular objects under the basis of following a certain canon.
- Some series or genres will eventually have greater representation in the Pantheon than others. This is unavoidable, but a little diversity helps to make you not look like a shill per say. Try to ensure that if you add a deity from a popular series, make sure that it is because they are a good representative for the trope in question, and not just because they are connected to another deity in their respective canon.
- For Profile Standards:
- Flavor text is used to describe certain things about a character, place or object. To avoid short ones, it is recommended to write flavor text with 4-7 sentences that can fill around 2 lines each. Be warned that adding too many sentences does not equal good flavor text as it is not an essay of sorts (unless words are substantial and do add to the overall line).
- Character Profiles of a certain person should have the following:
- A portfolio that contains at least 7 (at the minimum) tropes describing their character.
- Flavor text count for a deity profile should have by minimum, 10 (depending if the character in question has enough relationships/characterization) to 15 with a maximum of 20-25 for an individual profile.
- On the other hand, group profiles (profiles of a group that has 4 or more members) have their maximum flavor text count to 15 minimum, giving individual lines for the other members of the group (unless the members are not as characterized) up to 30 at max.
- Dominion profiles of a certain place should have the following:
- A portfolio that contains at least 5 (at the minimum) tropes describing the context of the place.
- Flavor text count should range at least 10 to 15.
- Treasure profiles (inanimate objects without a trope) should have the following:
- A portfolio that contains at least 6 (at the minimum) tropes that describes the object itself.
- Flavor text count should be at least 7 flavor text up to 12 to constitute a treasure profile.
- Overdeity: Omnipotent-level Reality Warpers capable of manipulating the entire universe (or at least the world) at will. Within their own universe they are believed to be omnipotent, or at least impossible-to-completely-destroy embodiments or concepts.
- Greater Gods: High-level Reality Warpers and that are extremely powerful (capable of destroying or changing anywhere from a large city to a planet at will) and very strong non-reality warpers capable of doing the same thing.
- Intermediate Gods: Deities at this level are capable of strong but specialized powers such as hydrokinesis, pyrokinesis, etc. without major drawbacks and low level Reality Warpers capable of affecting their immediate area at will.
- Lesser Gods: Capable of highly specific or little power on their own, or suffer from Power at a Price. However, they may be able to ruthlessly exploit their power or combine it with just being badass enough to make up for it.
- Demigods: Basically the Badass Normals of the pantheon, making up for their lack of abilities with strength, strategy, and/or planning.
- Quasideities: Any otherwise normal human, human equivalent, or below without any special powers or training will fall here.
God X, God/dess of (Insert Trope Here) (Alternate names/Nicknames, Fan Nickname)
- An image, if possible. Please use official art or a screenshot for a picture.
- Rank: This can range from Quasideity, Demigod, Lesser God, Intermediate God, Greater God, to Overdeity, based on representation of power mentioned above.
- Symbol: An image or icon used to represent the deity.
- Theme Song: Official song (in other words, no fan music, regardless of quality) that usually is used in affiliation with the character. If the deity is a musician this will most likely be their Signature Song. If possible, give a link for reference, preferably on either a website like Soundcloud or YouTube.
- Alignment: Good, evil, neutral etc. Forget about The Great Character Alignment Debate here, the Pantheon is one of the few places where you can assign Dungeons & Dragons alignment to characters that don't have alignment system. After all, the Pantheon is based on D&D and is made for fun.
- For Pokémon deities only:
- Gender: Defines the gender of the Pokémon; if genderless, it instead defines what gender they identify as.
- Ability: Provides the Pokémon's ability. If they can Mega Evolve, the new ability is listed as well.
- Moves: Defines the four moves used by a Pokémon. A Z-Move may also be listed.
- Portfolio: Tropes associated with the character.
- Domains: Things that the character has influence over.
- Herald: Non-ascended loyal character that is from the same series as the ascended character.
- High Priest: Non-ascended like heralds, but not from the same series, and can serve as a worthy replacement in case something would happen. They can be served as part-time workers in case the originals are busy with some jobs. Co-Godhood is accepted depending on the approval of the originals, usually if the co-deity is from the same series.
- Followers: Non-ascended characters that are not part of the Pantheon, but would probably worship this character by the fact that they share the ascended character's trope.
- Relationships between ascended characters go here with your chosen character, it goes something like this:
- Allies: Members of the Pantheon that are allies, those that share the same values as them and would theoretically be friends with them.
- Rivals: Members of the Pantheon that are rivals, people who may look at your character with suspicion or a challenge.
- Enemies: Members of the Pantheon that are foes, those who would see your chosen character as a threat, either on their pespective or yours.
- Additional Character Relationships: Members of the Pantheon that do not fit in various relationships (examples include Enemy Mine, Vitriolic Best Buds, Teeth-Clenched Teamwork, Headbutting Heroes, Friendly Enemy, Friendly Rival, Just Friends, etc.), allies, rivals, or enemies.
- Partner: Defines a partnership with an ascended deity and Mon-type. (if any)
- Feared by/Fears: A deity whom the members of the Pantheon notably fear or are feared by.
- Respected by/Respects: A deity whom the members of the Pantheon respect or are respected by.
- Opposed by/Opposes: Not necessarily the same as "Enemies", but this is used for any deity whom the members of the Pantheon directly opposes or is opposed by (basically the opposite of "Respects") terms of certain viewpoints, regardless of alignment.
- Pitied by/Pities: A deity whom the members of the Pantheon feel pity for or are found pitiable by.
- Conflicting Opinion: Sometimes, the Deities argue over specific themes and philosophies.
- Add the Intro. The intro is made up of two trivia, the Ascension Text (or just the Ascension) and The Bio. Both are necessary, but which order you use for them may vary depending on the profile in question. It may be better for one profile to have The Bio first and the Ascension second or vice-versa, although for the most part the order is irrelevant:
- The Ascension Text: This the story of how the character got into the Pantheon and/or was ascended. There are many ways for this to happen. They may be tricked into it or have simply wandered into the Pantheon, they may have had an already ascended character bring them in, they may already be in the Pantheon (via being another deity's Herald or sharing a trope) and got "promoted", or some combination of the above. Anything is possible in the Pantheon, so use your imagination, but try to incorporate their trope into the story, if possible.
- The Bio: A brief synopsis on the character's backstory. No need for the character's entire life/production history, but just give enough that those who don't know the character can get an idea of how the character works.
- Now add some random trivia/facts about events/alignments/moments/fights/friendships/relations etc.
- And some more trivia/facts.
- And a couple of more.
- Note: Standard amount of flavor text for Deities/Characters is 10-15 (15-20 for group profiles) at minimum to 20-25 (30 for group profiles) at maximum.
Template for Dominions profiles:
Place X, Place of (Insert Trope Here) (Alternate names/Nicknames, Fan Nickname)
- An image, if possible. Please use official art or a screenshot for a picture.
- Theme Song (Optional): Not important as compared to Deity and Dominion profiles but a notable mention if there is an accompanying song in use with the object.
- Alignment: Refers to the dominion's role in their story, be it those used by villains or used by the Player Character.
- Portfolio: Tropes associated with the dominion.
- Domains: Things that the place has links to.
- Relationships (Optional): Unless the location has a connection with a specific deity, relationships are optional and may not be required. However, if there are deities linked to the same series as where the dominion is linked to, note them using the relationships, this includes deities that theoretically have interest with said dominion, good or evil otherwise.
- Add the Intro. Here the introduction of the Dominion is added with some tidbits regarding the origins of its' creation and usage in the story. You can also add what made it popular/iconic/important here.
- Now add some random trivia/facts about events/alignments/moments/fights/friendships/relations etc.
- And some more trivia/facts.
- And a couple of more.
- Note: Standard amount of flavor text for Dominions is 10 at minimum to 15 at maximum.
Template for Treasure profiles:
The name of the item in here (Alternate names/Nicknames, Fan Nickname)
- An image, if possible. Please use official art or a screenshot for a picture.
- Appearance: A shortened description of the item's looks with some notable features also mentioned.
- Class: Refer to the Treasure Classification System in the Great Treasury.
- Alignment: Refers to the objects' role in their story, be it those used by villains or used by the Player Character.
- Theme Song (Optional): Not important as compared to Deity and Dominion profiles but a notable mention if there is an accompanying song in use with the object.
- Museum Check: A note that says whether the item is viewable by the public.
- Portfolio: Tropes associated with the item.
- Domains: Things that the item has links to.
- Relationships (Optional): Unless the item has a connection with a specific deity, relationships are optional and may not be required. However, if there are deities linked to the same series as where the item is linked to (especially the original owner of the item), note them using the relationships, this includes deities that theoretically have interest with said object, good or evil otherwise.
- Add the Intro. Here the introduction of the Treasure is added with some tidbits regarding the origins of its' creation and usage in the story. You can also add what made it popular/iconic/important here.
- Now add some random trivia/facts about events/alignments/moments/fights/friendships/relations etc.
- And some more trivia/facts.
- And a couple of more.
- Note: Standard amount of flavor text for Treasures is 7 at minimum to 12 at maximum.

- (Ted): Any generation 4 Pokemon in the Pantheon, Ness, Giygas, YHVH
- High Priest: Hellfire Commentaries
- Most of the house of Profession doesn't like The Brainscratch crew due to how off topic (sometimes bodering on ADD levels) they get during a lot of their commentaries. However the house of Theater welcome them with open arms because not only do they explain the mechanics of the games they play but they never fail to bring a smile to their fans faces.
- Princess Peach doesn't like Ryan as he will as gladly off Toad at any chance he gets as evidenced during their New Super Mario Bros. Wii playthrough.
- However she likes Ted because of how often he uses him in Mario Kart plus he can do an amazing Toad impression.
- When word caught wind of Lewis' love of collecting useless objects, he attracted the attention of Marisa Kirisame who shares his love of collecting things; Useless or not.
- Kirby doesn't like how the guys keed labeling him as a genocidal maniac however he's also mad that Johnny refuses to do a month of Kirby, saying that he doesn't deserve one.
- This hatred has lead to Kirby; as well as Meta Knight and King Dedede being enemies with Johnny.
- Ted has aligned himself with Lucifer because if YHVH is left alone to gain power, the Brainscratch Crew would have to do their commentaries exactly the way he wants them to and would no longer be entertaining.
- Most of the gods the guys are friends with are characters whose series the guys are big fans of.

- Samus has told him that unless there's ever a reason to go there again, it probably won't happen.
- Link is very curious as to where Johnny got his hat from for his Zelda marathon. He's also impressed and proud that Johnny lived up to his promise of beating Dark Link by not stabbing his knees for his lp.
- GLaDOS finds it hilarious that Johnny lost his mind while commentating over Portal2's co-op mode.

In times of trouble, turn to the Devil for guidance.Few things. Ted likes Hyrule Warriors and seems positively curious about wind waker so maybe hating the legend of Zelda is a bit much. Pessimistic maybe?
Maybe town done the more personal stuff like mentions of twitter. That stuff can get heated when touched.
Edit: Some of the portfolio stuff seems a bit too specific/overly wordy.
Ah my mistake. While I admit it was my own fault maybe refer to it as the original Legend of Zelda?

When I mentioned ted hating the legend of zelda, I was referring to the NES game
I just changed the pothole now it goes to the NES game

In times of trouble, turn to the Devil for guidance.A suggestion for a new addition to the Pantheon:
Bambina, God of Those Who Do Not Know Their Own Strength
- Greater God
- Symbol: "Food King" PAIR
- Alignment: Chaotic Neutral
- Portfolio: Everythings Better With Monkeys, Flash Step, Accidentally Injuring/Killing Playmates, Curb-Stomp Battle, Living Macguffin, Pint-Size Powerhouse, Obliviously Evil, I Just Want to Have Friends, Readings Are Off the Scale, Supernatural Martial Arts
- Domain: Monkeys, Games, Food, Enbu
- Rivals: Heracles, The Eight Kings
- Playmates: Hercules, Son Goku, Beerus
- Allies: King Kong, Sun Wukong
- Enemies: Caesar, Frieza
- When the Monkey King confronted Toriko and Co, no one expected the encounter to end in 0.1 seconds, much less all the injuries sustained by Toriko and Co being due to Bambina trying to play with them. As such, many of the Gods have been advised to go nowhere near Bambina if they want to keeps their limbs and head on their bodies.
- This means only a few Gods ever visit Bambina, and these are always the only Gods strong enough to be his playmates.
- Despite being human-sized in stature compared to Heracles, Bambina lives up to his rank as one of the Eight Kings, casually tossing mountains across the circumference of the Earth at a continuous Mach 1 speed for a week. When he first arrived in the Pantheon, it was all that could be done to make sure he did not end up levelling everything in his pursuit of fun amongst the other Gods, with Sun Wukong himself, Son Goku and Beerus needing to intervene, being among the few Gods strong enough to survive "playing" with him (and the only ones willing to).
- At that point, a means of keeping Bambina in check was arranged: once a week, one of the above three Gods would engage in games with Bambina, changing intermittently with one another each week while Bambina amused himself in his own section of the Pantheon, making these three Gods his official "Playmates".
- The Ginyu Force tried to prevent his ascension, as ordered by Frieza, because Bambina was yet another monkey ascending into the Pantheon. They still have nightmares from what Bambina accidentally did to them.
- Despite being on good terms with other primate Gods (especially Sun Wukong), Caesar is not particularly fond of Bambina for leaving his fellow apes in Area 7 to be ruled over by the tyrannical fists of the four master of Enbu, while he just plays around. While he has expressed his dislike for Bambina, he doesn't push the issue, knowing what might happen.
- While the conventional "Food King PAIR" comes from the Birth Cry Tree in Area 7, many Gods were made ill when it was learnt that Bambina's testicles are the 'true' PAIR. No one has tried to take them, both out of disgust and because Toriko needs PAIR to save Komatsu.
- He is the Master of a style of Martial Arts called Enbu, which allows him to spike his power level in battle instantaneously and flow any damage inflicted upon him outside of his body. One of the reasons Goku agreed to be his playmate is so he could try to learn this style of fighting.
@TPPR 10: 1. Mercury, Schrodinger, Chell I guess, Ambush Bug, and Goku (Technically Instant Transmission)
2.Yoruichi, Young Rin Okumura, Rushuna Tendo, Umi Ryuzaki, Rozalin, Zhang Xingcai, Robin, Leona
@Mosquito Man: No, we don't.
@rin14100: Please tell me the folder name will be "BrainScratch Commentators".
@saiyan5ninetail: Guan Yinping is already Goddess of that trope.
edited 8th Dec '14 8:07:19 PM by HyMai95
Either Commentators or Commentaries will be fine
In times of trouble, turn to the Devil for guidance.
So could it come down to which character better embodies the trope, or should one of the other tropes not yet taken in his portfolio be used as his title?

"On the Second Day, The Beast Awakens, With its single fang, It swallows the falling star"Well, at the risk of being a (benign) Too Soon profile (which is kind of like a hype profile, only the excitement isn't transparent), I'd like to nominate the little boy from Pokemon Ruby and Sapphire for the position I mentioned.
"AXEL ON STAAAAGE!"Are you talking about Wally?
In times of trouble, turn to the Devil for guidance.I changed the title for Bambina's profile. I hope there isn't a God with the title already:
Bambina, God of Obliviously Evil

- Alignment: Chaotic Neutral
- Portfolio: Everythings Better With Monkeys, Flash Step, Accidentally Injuring/Killing Playmates, Curb-Stomp Battle, Living Macguffin, Pint-Size Powerhouse, Obliviously Evil, I Just Want to Have Friends, Readings Are Off the Scale, Supernatural Martial Arts

- Despite being human-sized in stature compared to Heracles, Bambina lives up to his rank as one of the Eight Kings, casually tossing mountains across the circumference of the Earth at a continuous Mach 1 speed for a week. When he first arrived in the Pantheon, it was all that could be done to make sure he did not end up levelling everything in his pursuit of fun amongst the other Gods, with Sun Wukong himself, Son Goku and Beerus needing to intervene, being among the few Gods strong enough to survive "playing" with him (and the only ones willing to).
- At that point, a means of keeping Bambina in check was arranged: once a week, one of the above three Gods would engage in games with Bambina, changing intermittently with one another each week while Bambina amused himself in his own section of the Pantheon, making these three Gods his official "Playmates".
- The Ginyu Force tried to prevent his ascension, as ordered by Frieza, because Bambina was yet another monkey ascending into the Pantheon. They still have nightmares from what Bambina accidentally did to them.
- Despite being on good terms with other primate Gods (especially Sun Wukong), Caesar is not particularly fond of Bambina for leaving his fellow apes in Area 7 to be ruled over by the tyrannical fists of the four master of Enbu, while he just plays around. While he has expressed his dislike for Bambina, he doesn't push the issue, knowing what might happen.
- While the conventional "Food King PAIR" comes from the Birth Cry Tree in Area 7, many Gods were made ill when it was learnt that Bambina's testicles are the 'true' PAIR. No one has tried to take them, both out of disgust and because Toriko needs PAIR to save Komatsu.
- He is the Master of a style of Martial Arts called Enbu, which allows him to spike his power level in battle instantaneously and flow any damage inflicted upon him outside of his body. One of the reasons Goku agreed to be his playmate is so he could try to learn this style of fighting.
Okay, I admit, I really don't know how to apply most suggestions given about my question. I am going to do a draft here and see how it works out.
Viki, Goddess of Teleportation Mistakes
- Lesser Goddess
- Symbol: The Blinking Rune
- Alignment: Neutral Good
- Portfolio: Incompetent Use of Teleportation (usually by sneezing), The Cutie, Dojikko, The Ditz, Wide-Eyed Idealist, Woman In White, Appearing in Almost Every Game in the Franchise
- Domains: Teleportation, Mages, Women
- Followers: Monica
- Allies: Jeane, Fuuka Yamaginshi
- Enemies: Luca Blight, Schrödinger
- Viki didn't really ascend into the Pantheon initially. Instead, she accidentally teleported there. No one is sure where or when she came from, but she started to stick around the place once she actually ascended.
- There are some gods who have tried to help her master the Blinking Rune, as it can potentially be really powerful if one would remove the accidents what can happen with it, especially since Viki is actually a good rune magic user. So far, no success has been made regarding it.
- She understands that there are many goddesses in the Pantheon who sound like her. However, she seems to be most comfortable around Fuuka. Especially since she can help her train her teleport techniques with the help of Juno.
- Avoids going into the House of Food. The reason being that her accidental teleportations tend to kick in before she can eat anything. One time she accidentally transported away food from so many gods, the place almost fell into chaos. She tends to carry around boxed food because of that.
- No one is sure where she came from, especially since Blinking Rune allows for one to time travel. There is a kid version of Viki at one point in time, but no one is sure if even she is from that point of timeline.
- Where she is not banned from House of Theater, she is absolutely forbidden to take a role in any play. The cringe from her acting is too much for people to handle.
Not at all.

Continue the bloodline, Fujimaru!Yeah, but with the recent remakes, I thought it might get an eyebrow from someone.
But I'm getting the impression no one has a problem with my nomination?
"AXEL ON STAAAAGE!"Go for it.
The whole ordeal with Gunvolt is still bothering me... I can't let this thing go unless we can reach a consensus.
The consensus we can reach is that the ranking system is not well-defined yet.
Trope Pantheon Story siteThe system being worked on before was IMO a good start.
As per why DR is so loved, I'd say its due to its effective combination of mystery and horror (including Paranoia Fuel). Its the same genre hybrid formula seen and successfully used in works such as Five Nights At Freddys or Higurashi No Naku Koro Ni.
Someone once suggested ascending Hana Isuzu and I said she needed more flavour text, what happened to that profile?

In times of trouble, turn to the Devil for guidance.I learned that Deoxys is in the House of Power. I think he should be moved to the House of Shape and also put into the House of Gaming. Any takers?
Also here's Wally's first draft:
Wally, God of Sickly Children
- Demigod
- Symbol: His Ralts (now Gardevoir/Gallade)
- Theme Music: Encounter! Wally, Battle! Wally
- Alignment: Neutral Good
- Portfolio: Adorkable, rivalry, Badass Adorable after grinding several levels, gaining theme music to denote improvement
- Domains: Health, Youth, Drive
- High Priestess: Kari Kamiya
- Allies: Yu Narukami, N, Hanako Ikezawa, Hisao Nakai
- Enemies: Ghetsis
- Uneasy around: Groudon and Kyogre, Deoxys
- Ascended after overcoming his frailty and becoming one of the strongest Pokemon Trainers in all of Hoenn (and after the Pantheon heard his new battle theme).
- Since ascending, Wally's gained followers of similar background to himself, and one of his goals is to help them go on to become stronger.
- Yu Narukami has taken to spending time with Wally (some think they have a Social Link), as Wally reminds Yu of his own cousin, Nanako.
- Has formed a bond with fellow Pokemon Trainer N. Seeing Wally's Mega Gallade indicates to N that the boy and his Pokemon have a strong bond, so N took a liking to him quickly. Some gods joke that they're related, due to their shared hair color, though Wally claims he's never met or heard of N before.
- While Wally's not one to make enemies, he doesn't like Ghetsis at all, for about the same reasons as everyone else.
- After being doted on by many gods, Wally requested that he start being taken more seriously. He appreciates the sentiments, but would like to be taken seriously with his goal of strengthening himself and the bond he has with his team. The strength of his Pokemon attest to this. Most gods have complied.
- Hanako Ikezawa understands Wally's desire to be taken seriously rather than be completely doted on. The two later met, and became friends. Wally was also introduced to her friend Hisao. Knowing what Wally was god of, Hisao joked about taking over his position, which briefly shocked Wally. Wally might be a bit young for sarcasm.
- Wally does his best to avoid being near Ameno-Sagiri, considering his need for cleaner air.
- Due to the fact that Groudon (or Kyogre), as well as Deoxys have all threatened his homeland, Wally is a little uneasy around them. But these specific Pokemon have yet to cause any serious harm, and Wally also finds reassurance when remembering that the offending Pokemon were caught and befriended by his closest friend and rival.
How's that?

"AXEL ON STAAAAGE!"How about Teddy Roosevelt in leadership as an ally?
On Deoxys: Dunno. Multiform Balance isn't gaming-specific trope and it can be applied with stuff like wapons, buffs/ debuffs etc.
Also, I sort of feel like with Wally, we should mention that he got so well, he can now push a fat guy or a muscular black guy out of his way in a hurry (Battle Resort). Or not, I just found the moment funny.

Continue the bloodline, Fujimaru!Shape is fitting for Deoxys, Gaming not really

In times of trouble, turn to the Devil for guidance.Well, true, but many didn't agree to it because it looked similar to the Marvel power grid, which I had no knowledge of beforehand.
Trope Pantheon Story site
Repeating myself, do we have a god for Ill Boy?
"AXEL ON STAAAAGE!"
