Trope Pantheons Discussion

Go To

Welcome to the Trope Pantheons thread! Please read the rules:

    Rules 
Rules. The following are not suggestions or tips, but things that have to be followed:
  • 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 [tup] means the profile will have a one week waiting period.
      • For new and reworked deities, 4 [tup] is a 3 day waiting period.
      • 5 [tup] 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 [tup] is a 3 day waiting period.
      • 4 [tup] 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.

    Instructions and Tips 
Here are some tips one should keep in mind when editing:

  • 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.
  • 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.

    Divine Ranking System 
  • 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.

    Templates 
Template for adding a new deity:

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.

@Whirl & fasoman I didn't discuss on my Might & Magic set at first because I didn't expect myself to have the commitment to fill their entry that fast. With that said, is it okay for them to take the Mutual Disadvantage slot, or is there another trope that suit them better? I found Dia, Lucina, Darvan and Bran to be the most suitable as they are each weak to one element, but have a skill to become super-effective towards their respective weakness.

Reposting Graham's profile, again. Added a few more details in relation to the last suggestion, apart from reduced pics.

Graham Aker, God of Personalized Combat Machines (Mr. Bushido, The Union's Greatest Ace Pilot, the Flag Fighter, Captain of the ESF Solbrave Squadron, Bushido Bob, Mr. Bullshito, Flag Fucker, Trans-GrahAm, Graham Crackers)

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/image_62.png
Click here for his appearance as "Mr. Bushido" 
  • Demigod
  • Symbol: The emblem of the ESF Solbrave Squadron (previously, the emblem of the Union of Solar Energy and Free Nations)
  • Leitmotif: "Union", as default. "Masurao", under his alternate persona.
  • Alignment: Lawful Neutral (dips to Chaotic Good on ocassion)
  • Portfolio: Ace Custom, Ace Pilot, Arrogant Samurai guy, Badass Normal, Boisterous Bruiser, oft-shipped with Gundams, Hot-Blooded Char Clone who is into Fragile Speedsters, usually equipped with Katanas, The Rival, Occidental Otaku, Samurai, Valorous, Villainous Underdog
  • Domains: War, Mentalism, Weapons, Travel
  • Allies: Char Aznable, Zechs Merquise, Steve Rogers
  • Worthy Opponent: Setsuna F. Seiei
  • Rivals: Max Jenius,
  • Odd Relationship with: Musha Gundam, Knight Gundam, Sheryl Nome
  • Enemies: TBD
  • Once served as a follower of Char and previously considered as a High Priest Candidate after Zechs' ascension. Turns out that due to his extensive combat records aboard mobile suits tailored to his combat ability, he was eligible for a post in the Pantheon. Thus, with the endorsement of the Red Comet himself, he was allowed to ascend (leaving Char without a High Priest. Again.)
  • The first thing he did after ascending was to meet up with Setsuna, not to challenge him to a mobile suit dogfight, but to acknowledge him properly, not just as a Gundam pilot, but as a proper warrior. This made Setsuna slightly doubtful as the last time they tussled in combat was when he was still part of A-Laws; but remembering his blaze of glory moment during the ELS conflict made him accept him anyways.
  • Speaking of his A-Laws days, he's rather abrasive of the "Mr. Bushido" appellation. According to him, he's rather respective of his Japanese Code of Honor, having trained as a proper Samurai after one of his battles with the Gundams gave him a scar on the face, thus forcing him to cover his face with a samurai-inspired mask, thus the nickname. Quoth Mr. Aker: "That's what they decided to call me."
    • Ditto with the "Flag Fucker" nickname, though he accepts the fact that he may have had a hand on that. Some mischievous deities have been trying to trick him to scream "I WANT TO EMBRACE YOU, GUNDAM!!!" for that matter; he just dusts it off and flies away after peppering them with beam rifle discharges.
    • Nonetheless, he has formed quite a decent bond with both Knight and Musha Gundam, ocassionally allowing him to refine his piloting skills. He has yet to be seen embracing them though.
  • Thanks to some particular similarities, Captain America has been inviting him for a couple of drinks and some exchange of stories. Surprisingly, he has managed to attract the attention of The Galacic Fairy, making her blush on ocassion. Turns out she reminds him so much of her beloved Alto.

I can't believe we still have no God of Rugby in the House of Sports! Somebody get to it!

Miltank, Goddess of Bovines (The Milk Cow Pokémon)

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/600px_241miltank.png

Rubella, the Goddess who Subverts Every Rhyme

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/childoflight_rubella_6638.png
  • Potential House: Writing Techniques (Narrative sub-house)
  • Lesser Goddess
  • Symbol: Her red jester hat
  • Alignment: Neutral Good
  • Portfolio: fast yet sturdy, Genki Girl, Combat Medic, Noodle People, Non-Ironic Clown, actually optional but in-game circumstances signs her on ASAP, always smiling, Support Party Member, a name both unfortunate and ironic
  • Domain(s): Jester, Healing, Rhyme (Failed)
  • Allies:
  • Enemies: The Joker, Needles Kane, Sideshow Bob, Yami, The Grand Duke of Owls, Nightmare Moon, Balanar
  • Feared by: Nathan Drake
  • In the House of Narrative, there is occasionally a special hour where everybody must rhyme their sentences while inside, which not only helps in writing poems, but also songs for the House of Music. While there have been a few visitors who screw up, one of them was unique in the fact that it's almost like they're actively trying not to rhyme, yet when the non-rhyming words are substituted with their synonyms, the rhyme would appear. This detractor turns out to be a jester by the name Rubella, and after some deliberating, she's been given a spot in the Pantheon.
  • It's ironic that while her name is based off of the feminine form of "reddish" in Latin (rubellus), but it's also the name of a deadly virus that causes German Measles. Also ironic since she's her party's healer. The Trollkaiger had a field day with that.
  • One would think that Dr. Seuss, God of Rhyming, would get irritated every time he hears her flub a rhyme every single time. In actuality, he's very patient with her, and finds it humorous that her subverted rhymes can be rhymed easily instead of just being lazy. He believes what she does can get other minds to wrack their brains to finding appropriate synonyms and therefore improve their narrative skills in a roundabout way.
  • She doesn't understand why Nathan Drake avoids her whenever possible whenever the two are in the same area. No one has thought of telling her that he has coulrophobia. Sure, she's actually a jester, but they're still close enough to the same thing.
  • For reasons related to the battle she fought, she opposes those who would bring forth endless darkness to the Pantheon. That said, she bears no ill will to Princess Luna, as her non-ascended friend Aurora, while a light-user, had been tasked in reclaiming her world's sun, moon, and stars.
  • Olaf found her funny as soon as he met her, having subverted a rhyme in his theme song once. Though Rubella could find his subversion more understandable; to say "puddle" would make his song a lot darker than it already was (just noticeable), and that would not be fun. Besides, Queen Elsa already found a way to prevent that from ever happening.

@Black Shadow: Funnily enough, I was looking at his tropes in the character page yesterday and thought that he could be a good candidate for that trope.

@ Graham Aker [tup] from me as a fellow Gundam fan.

Is Basilone ready? Since no one could give me any viable enemies for him, I might as well consider this version the final one.

So, how long until we can add the spoilers regarding the Bats vs Sups movie? I just wanted to write a text, probably like this:

  • Clark has been frequently asked if he can bleed, which he found amusing at first, then annoying after a while. He doesn't blame Bruce for it though

[up] I think it depends on which part is even considered spoilers. That line is in the trailer, so I think that can go to their profile.

Speaking of adding lines to profiles, is there any objection to me trying to add some lines to profiles that I think are bare-boned or not full enough? I been thinking of expanding the Isaac one, considering that "Afterbirth" gave us a possibility that Isaac could become the next devil, and that his adventures were all in his head...

[down] Thank you. Also the funny thing; the Napstablook profile mentions him and Isaac, but not the Isaac one. Huh. And yes, your text looks good to me.

Well, need something else to do while Ace is awaiting ascension on day 7 or 2 more approvals.

Faso@ That, really depends how much composition you want to put on these characters. Remember that many Comic Book characters are composition of other version which is a lot. I know when I reworked Superman I saw him as pre new 52 with a bit of the DCAU thrown it.

Voldo, God of Wacky Fighters (The Hell Guardian, He Who Is Bound By Blind Allegiance)

  • Allies: Faust Baldhead
  • Rivals: Ivy Valentine, Taki, Siegfried Schtauffen, Talim, Carmen Sandiego, Dan Hibiki, Ling Xiaoyu
  • Enemies: Nightmare, Matt Murdock/Daredevil, Babmi Hughes, Frollo, Link, Ezio Auditore

  • Respected by: Corset
  • Observed by: Sigmund Freud
  • Annoys: Spawn, Heihachi Mishima
  • There were recent thefts in the Treasury Room in the Pantheon. All of them have been minor so far, but it would only be a time before the thief gets away with something more important. Sam Vimes hired the best detectives in the Pantheon to track down the criminal. It was Holmes who managed to track him down to the House of Combat. It was there that a slippery man in a skimpy outfit. He may not have looked like much, but he managed to overpower Holmes and Watson and made his escape. Unluckily for him, there were plenty of more powerful foes that managed to take him down. It was Taki who identified who he was: Voldo. Turns out he had recently made his home in this very area. The confiscated items were placed back in their place, but this man's adventures in the Pantheon has only begun...
  • Faust appears to be the only god that can fully understand his antics. It might be because Faust fights just as crazy as Voldo, but most gods won't delve into it for long, lest their brains explode in confusion.
  • His temple is the exact replica of the Money Pit, complete with the tomb of his deceased master Vercci. Not even his followers are allowed near the tomb for fear of getting them stolen.
  • One of his most prominent traits is his ability to fight just as effectively on his back. That has made him rivals with Xiaoyu. Whether one is better than the other in that regard is up to debate.
  • None of the deities from his world were that excited with his ascension. Voldo himself doesn't bother with any of them as long as they don't try and steal anything from his vault. And yet he always seems to get involved in their stories; he's one of the few Soul deities to have been involved in every game. There are exceptions; he despises the pirate Cervantes, believing he caused the death of his master. He has also long since stopped attempting to add Soul Edge to his collection, realising the evil nature of the weapon. This made him enemies with Nightmare.
  • One would think that with his bondage outfit he would be often seen in the House of Lust, but that's not the case. It's just that he prefers to wear as little clothing as possible. It doesn't help that the man doesn't appear to have much of a sex drive. That hasn't stopped Slaanesh from trying to test the waters. Voldo merely avoids her the best he can.
  • Upon his ascension, he was immediately challenged by Dan Hibiki, furious that such a clown fighter could have a higher rank than him. Voldo proved that his ranking was no joke, defeating Dan in a minute flat. His fellow members of the House of Gaming noted that Voldo's followers are not intended to be joke characters. They may look silly, but they can hold their own as well as the rest of them. That hasn't stopped Dan from training to beat Voldo some day.
    • Not even Bambi Hughes is willing to take the risk with that man. He doesn't feel he would get the satisfaction with Voldo.
    • Frollo denounced his method of clothing, claiming it brings about sinful lust in the eyes of girls and boys. Not that he's wrong, but it's clear that it's not Voldo's intention to do so. After backlash from various defenders, Frollo back down from his statement.
    • Freud hopes to find out why Voldo acts the way he does. It has proven to be one of his toughest studies yet.
  • At least Corset respects the man for having the guts for wearing such an outrageous outfit, even going so far as to saying it's a good look for him. Too bad he feels Voldo to be a too chaotic for his taste.
  • Genos became interested in Voldo's complete devotion towards his master, even after death. Genos himself has a similar bond with Saitama and hopes to help him out the same. The android still thinks that it doesn't justify his stealing tendencies.
  • On top of his unorthodox fighting style, it was soon discovered that he is completely blind as well. Daredevil volunteered to fight him to see how he manages to maneuver. After a brief encounter, the Man Without Fear concluded that his other senses help guide his movements, much like himself.
  • Carmen quickly learned that it's impossible to effectively work with Voldo in performing heists. Voldo is too distracted with various other items to make him steal any particular item. The two now see themselves as rivals in the trade.
  • Not that it interested Voldo, but there were a few gods that recognized him before his ascension
    • Link and Ezio have both issued a restraining order, banning Voldo from their temples when he was caught trying to steal their equipment. Both were involved in separate adventures and viewed Voldo as the least pleasing person they've met.
  • Neither Spawn nor Heihachi have any beef in Voldo... as long as he doesn't get in their way.

Annie Hastur, Goddess of Girls With Stuffed Animals (The Dark Child)

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/annie_originalloading19.jpg

  • Domains: Magic, Fire, Fur, Chaos, Destruction
  • Allies: Samantha Maxis, Mandy, Hasta, Pippi Longstocking, Steven Universe, Anise Tatlin, Plutia, Wendy Marvell
  • Rivals: The Defender of the Arts, Katarina du Couteau, Darius, Draven
  • Enemies: Eric Cartman, Kael'thas Sunstrider
  • Odd Friendship: Lina, Alphonse Elric, Asuna Yuuki, Setsuna Sakurazaki, Shana
  • Feared by: Winnie the Pooh
  • Pities: Madeline
  • Avoided by: Stephen Colbert
  • A panic overwhelmed Pantheon as a flaming bear attacked deities in the House of Family. Rexxar was assigned to tame the beast but his usual methods haven't been working. And yet all of a sudden it transformed... into a teddy bear. A girl with green eyes skipped to the Beastmaster's side to pick it up, thanking him for finding her bear Tibbers. The half-orc was left scratching his head, realising he had just met the newest addition in the House of Children.
  • Note that her stuffed bear Tibbers is actually a shadow bear transformed into a teddie bear for easy transport. One wonders how Annie treats Tibbers. There is a video depicting the relationship through her many skins.
  • While she does hail from Noxus and have a nasty attitude to match, she is not truly evil herself. Just a child doing with creepy tendencies. All of the Noxian deities were quick to denounce her ascension as a result. The government do hope to bring the girl back into the fold.
  • There are many in the Pantheon who are interested in the girl's massive magical potential. Annie has been spotted with Samantha Maxis lately, offering her toys to play with. Many fear that Samantha will gain a powerful new ally.
    • The biggest reason that may not happen is because Mandy may beat her to it. Also in the House of Children, she hopes to coercive the Dark Child into her services. Many hasn't been as successful though, as her methods come off as too blunt for Annie. Still, she enjoys the company of both. Whoever she chooses to stick around with, the Pantheon will surely suffer for it.
  • Rumors have persisted that Annie may actually be the long lost daughter of Lina◊, a theory Lina vehemently denies. Yet she can't help but give her a warm reception, despite their rivalry.
  • There has been a number of characters she feels comfortable with, especially Shana, Goddess of Tsundere. She just can't figure out why.
    • Among those who shown an interest in Annie is Hasta, God of Young Homosexuals. She can't help but wonder if the two is related, given that her last name is Hastur.
  • Steven wasn't deterred with the girl's demeanor, quickly entering her temple for a visit. Annie took a liking to the boy, one of the few child gods that's actively hoping to make her a true friend. The other Crystal Gems keep an eye on her in case she hurts Steven.
  • Also trying to put her on the side of good is Wendy. Initial a rival since Annie was a candidate for her title, the Sky Mage now hopes to teach her how to control her abilities. She also brings in healing support when the two work together.
  • Anise Tatlin has been seen with Annie recently, propping her up as the next great mage. While many were moved with the act of kindness, a few detectives revealed her true intention; she hopes to use the publicity to gain sponsorship money. As her manager, Anise would get a loft sum of that money.
  • Pippi also made sure to greet her. She's handled far odder sites in her adventures. She's also one of the few gods that enjoys playing with Tibbers in his full size.
  • Pooh decided that it was best not to meet up with Annie or her stuffed animal, even though there has been speculation that he may be one herself. He just thinks Tibbers as too frightening for his liking.
    • To Pooh's surprise, Steven Colbert offered to fortify his temple. When asked why, Colbert revealed he has long since overcome his fear of bears. Still, any bear that can light itself on fire is bad news for anyone.
  • Oddly, the one person she doesn't actively try to scare is Madeline. It may be because of the hard life the child has endured, including losing her parents. Annie has ended up as a bit of a guardian for the girl.
  • Plutia has acknowledged Annie as another expy of hers that made it into the Pantheon.
  • When Cartman set his eyes on that innocent looking skipping girl, she looked like easy pickings for Cartman to embarrass. Known for his bitter hatred of redheads, he hoped to continue the streak. That plan ultimately failed when he found out the hard way that stuffed animal wasn't for show.
    • Annie's beatdown of Cartman gained the approval of Willow, a goddess who has seen too many of her followers get abused by Catman's. The witch has taken a special interest, seeing how she went mad over magic. She hopes that Annie doesn't make the same mistake.
