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.

I'll repeat this once again:

Is there any god who had a case of mistaken identity? Or anyone who has been wrongfully accused of a murder they didn't commit? Also, are there any advertising executives in the Pantheon?

Tigger, God of Cartoonish Tails

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/1tiggerbounce_1724.jpg
  • House of Personal Appearance (Appearance Other)
  • Demigod
  • Symbol: His striped, springy tail
  • Theme Song: The Wonderful Thing About Tiggers
  • Alignment: Chaotic Good
  • Portfolio: Attention Deficit... Ooh, Shiny!, Badass Adorable, Breakout Character, Cartoony Tail (of course), Cheerful Child, Does Not Like Honey, Hates Baths, Keet, The Lancer, the Only Tigger, The Nicknamer, the Red Oni to Rabbit's Blue Oni, "GASP!", Bragging's What Tiggers Do Best!, Wacky Guy
  • Domains: Fun, Big Cats, Friendship
  • Followers: non-ascended Equestrian ponies, cartoon mice, wolves with very bushy tails, deer-tailed chipmunks (other than Chip and Dale, who are already ascended)...basically, most cartoon animals with inaccurate tails
  • High Priest: Marsupilami
  • Allies: Winnie the Pooh, Pinkie Pie, Sora, Drake Mallard/Darkwing Duck
  • Vitriolic Friendship with: Rabbit (from the latter's perspective)
  • Odd Friendship: Eeyore
  • Enemies: The Toon Patrol, The Incubators, Nack (Tigger refers to him and the aforementioned groups of weasels and weasel-like creatures as "Woozles")
  • Distrusts: Pete, "Heffalumps and Woozles" (elephants and weasels) in general
  • Afraid of: The Terror Mask
  • Tigger's entrance into the Pantheon was quite a memorable one: He bounced on his spring-like tail into Pooh, Rabbit, and Eeyore (who had all arrived to welcome him in), and after embracing them tightly, he cheerfully greeted the other deities present with, "Hullo, everyone! Name's Tigger! T-I-double-guh-er! That spells 'Tigger'!"
  • Tigger gets along fantastically with the equally-cheerful-and-hyperactive Pinkie Pie. The other deities try to avoid the two of them together; light-hearted chaos generally ensues when those two hang out.
  • Rabbit had mixed feelings about Tigger entering the pantheon. On the one hand, he is very loud and rambunctious, much to the bunny's (and several other gods') annoyance, not to mention his garden usually tends to pay the price for Tigger's energy. On the other, the bouncy tiger certainly means well, and generally tries to make things right if he thinks he messed up.
  • He remembers Sora from his visits to the Hundred Acre Wood, and was happy to see he was in the Pantheon.
  • He is generally wary of "Heffalumps" (elephants) and "Woozles" (weasels); as such, he tries to steer clear of the likes of the Toon Patrol and the Incubators.
  • Whatever you do, don't make Tigger sad; it's a heartbreaking sight. Just ask his friends; they once tried to "un-bounce" him, but the result was a very depressed tiger, so they quickly went back on it.
  • It has been noted by several gods that Tigger sounds somewhat similar to not only Pooh, but also to Pete, Darkwing Duck, and, bizarrely enough, the Terror Mask! The latter scares Tigger quite a bit. He doesn't exactly get along with Pete, either; the fat old cat usually isn't a nice guy, after all. Meanwhile, he gets along better with Drake Mallard, and by extension, his Darkwing Duck alter ego, though Drake really wishes Tigger wouldn't pounce on him the way he does.

Heishiro Mitsurugi, God of Rōnin (He Who Lives for Battle)

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/mitsu_5323.png
  • Potential House: Profession
  • Intermediate God
  • Symbol: His katana Muichimonji
  • Alignment:True Neutral
  • Portfolio: Badass Normal, Blood Knight, Duel to the Death, Katanas Are Just Better, Never Bring a Knife to a Gun Fight, Rated M for Manly, Samurai Ponytail, Walking the Earth
  • Domains: Combat, Katanas, War, Glory, Strength
  • High Priest: Sanjūrō
  • Allies: Kenpachi Zaraki, Reiji Arisu and Xiaomu
  • Rivals: Miyamoto Musashi, Samural Jack, Afro Samurai, Himura Kenshin, Haohmaru, Ryu Hayabusa
  • Opposes: All gun users in the House of Ranged Weapons
  • Opposed by: All pacifist deities
  • Respects: Samuel Rodrigues
  • Worthy Opponents: Taki, Nightmare, Algol
  • A lone figure with a samurai sword slowly made his way into the House of Professions. Once he entered his new temple, the man gave out an boast: he will roam the entire Pantheon, seeking out fighters that can give him a challenge.
    • His initial journey came to an end when he was faced with Taki, his arch nemesis. The two fought to a draw once more, with Taki telling him continuing one will eventually get him in trouble. Mitsurugi relented, but decided to hold up a sign his temple challenging others to face him in combat.
    • As a result of his long feud with Taki, he has grown distaste for ninjas in general. He usually puts out all of that anger at their patron Ryu. He hopes to strike him down in order to weapon Taki's forces.
    • Surprisingly enough, there is currently no official god of Samurai. Mitsurugi himself doesn't qualify as he works as more of a mercenary. Thus he holds the title of Rōnin
  • Has become a Blood Knight like no other, offering up his services in the House of War whenever they need a warrior to send to battle. He even prefers to side with the outnumbered forces just to give him a challenge. Kenpachi regards Mitsurugi as one of his most promising practitioners of his philosophy. Those who challenge him end up in a fight to the death. Mitsurugi wouldn't have it any other way.... except for Setsuka apparently. When asked why he spared her, he shrugged his shoulders before stating even he has his exceptions.
  • His ascension was not taken lightly to the Azure Knight. A long known irritant of his, he knows that Mitsurugi would eventually want to challenge him. Either way, he hopes to use him as a potential asset, possibly corrupting him or even using him as his next host.
  • His most recent rival is none other than Algol himself. The most powerful deity in his world, the ronin believes he will receive the ultimate battle if he gets the chance to face him. The God of Shape Shifting Weapons raised an eyebrow in the man's insistence to fight him, but is willing to unleash his power on the ronin in a future date.
  • He sees all samurai as rivals to eventually defeat. Not even Miyamoto Musashi, his possible inspiration, is exempt. Good or evil, he just hopes to be the best fighter with a Katana.
    • His rivalry with Kenshin has a special note. As a Technical Pacifist, Kenshin holds a special sort of contempt for the ronin, reminding him too much of his old self. Mitsurugi hopes to get him to use a more deadly katana should they cross paths, a request that Kenshin has consistently rejected.
    • Also of note is his rivalry with Haohmaru. The God of Anime Hair had long sought the title Mitsurugi currently has. Also of note is the fact that they match perfectly, in personality and in looks. It's only intensified their constant battles. The two ronin have constantly fought to a draw so far.
    • There have been a growing number of pacifistic deities that have stood up to oppose him. They have been responsible for interrupting many of his duels before they come to their logical conclusion. Mitsurugi has to be more discreet in where he can challenge foes.
  • The one katana user he decided to pay homage to be Samuel Rodrigues, God of Katanas. A former follower of the half-Brazilian, he had made constant attempts to claim the title himself, failing each time. Mitsurugi eventually relented, gaining enough respect of the man to admit defeat.
  • Hates guns with a passion. It took him many years to learn how to deal with Western rifles used to invade Japan. Nowadays, he's comfortable handling anyone with a bullet. That doesn't make things any less pleasing to fight against.
  • As a matter of fact, Mitsurugi does remember the faces of many deities in the Pantheon. This is due to participating in an incidence bringing him any many others to Japan in the year 20XX. To his surprise, he also found the two peopl ewho helped team up everyone to fight a coalition of villains. For that challenge, he thanks the two for the battle.

Morrigan, Goddess of Sarcastic Devotees

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/morriganinq_3201.jpg
  • Lesser Goddess
  • Symbol: Her gold-colored necklace
  • Alignment: True Neutral
  • Portfolio: Lady of Black Magic, Abusive Parents, Broken Bird, Court Mage, Dark Action Girl, Deadpan Snarker, Defrosting Ice Queen, Eerie Pale-Skinned Brunette, Hot Witch, No Social Skills, No Sympathy, Of Corsets Sexy, Purple Is the New Black, Took a Level in Kindness, Vain Sorceress, Voluntary Shapeshifting,
  • Domains: Magic, Shapeshifting, Snark, Ice, Animal
  • Followers: Zenkichi, Sancho Panza, John Casey, Zoe Washburne
  • Allies: The Warden and the Inquisitor, Tharja, Geralt of Rivia, Ryu (Breath of Fire), Miranda Lawson
  • Rivals: Triss Merigold and Yennefer of Vengerberg (friendly for Yennifer)
  • Enemies: Corypheus
  • Opposes: The Evil Queen
  • Respects: Charles zi Britannia
  • Respected by: Daria Morgendorffer
  • Teeth-Clenched Teamwork: Alistair Theirin, Isabela of Riven
  • Pities: Cirilla Fiona Elen Riannon
  • Odd Friendship: Shego
  • Feared by: Xander Harris
  • The Warden has been about once more, looking for a chance for another of his crew to ascend. Alistair and Isabela both worked alongside him to summon the next in line. To the horror of those two, they brought back the snarky sorceress known as Morrigan. Not exactly on good terms with either Alistair or Isabela, she has nevertheless played a crucial role for Orlesia. Thus, the Warden placed her in the House of Personalities for her sharp quips despite sticking around with the group for so long.
    • The Inquisitor also puts his trust in the woman, who helped him defeat Corypheus while they were mortals. While not romantically involved with her, she puts some trust on the Inquisitor as one of the few who believed in her.
  • Pivotal in Corypheus's initial defeat was her transformation into a dragon. Already well known for shapeshifting to various animals, this particular defeat is her greatest feat for now. This gained the respect of Ryu.
  • Many snarkers were awaiting the inevitable showdown between Alistair and Morrigan. Renowned snarkers in their own right, the behavior is elevated greatly whenever the two are together. Daria herself can't help but make a smirk whenever she gets a chance to see the two battle it out.
    • Her relationship with Isabela isn't much better. She is the only one in the Warden's group that turned down a potential group sex with her or any other companions. The witch replied that she wouldn't touch her even if she were into girls.
  • It came as little surprise that she made quick friends with Tharja. The two even share the same preference in clothing. They also hold an odd loyalty to their leaders despite their deadpan tones. The two can be seen practicing spells or tormenting Alistair further.
  • Has maintained good relations with Geralt under the insistence of the Warden. That hasn't stopped her from forming a rivalry with Geralt's own trusted mages, though she makes it clear who she prefers. She sees a lot of herself when thinking of Yennefer while she can't help but notice Triss bearing similarities with Leliana (not a good thing in her book). As a result, she leaves most of the teasing to the redhead. With that said, not even she would snark to Ciri, deciding that the poor woman is under enough pressure as it is.
  • While she has interacted little with fellow misfits gathering Shepard, she has taken an increasingly warm liking to Miranda. The two had a conversation, with much of it involving their devotions to their parent figures and their eventual rejection of them. Their powers also compensate each other fairly well, with Miranda's technology and biotics working well with Morrigan's shapeshifting and curses.
  • Her earlier life was spent with her mother far from civilization. Her mother harbored a deep mistrust of humankind, and the two eliminated potential threats, with Morrigan playing the innocent girl trick on unsuspecting males. Xander knows she's changed for the better, but she still keeps an eye on her. Morrigan responds by creeping up on him, which always gives him a fright.
  • Whether her allies approve or not, she has always been a believer of Social Darwinism. To her delight, there was already a representative of the role by the name of Charles zi Britannia. The two may not be as close due to her Character Development, but he will always have a place in her heart.
  • Some would call her the (slightly) heroic version of Shego, another follower who can't help but point out the leader's flaws. The two may work against each other, but they are willing to set that aside for conversations over why they stick around.
  • Other villains aren't so lucky. Take the Evil Queen for example. Morrigan's vanity was enough for the queen to consider giving her the title of high priest. Morrigan has long since distanced herself from that mindset. The witch even takes it so far as to prevent other potential followers from siding with the Queen.

Amélie Lacroix, Goddess of Cold Snipers (Widowmaker, Widow)

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/widowmaker.png
  • Lesser Goddess
  • Symbol: Her Visor
  • Alignment: Neutral Evil
  • Portfolio: Once the loving wife of Gerard Lacroix before being brainwashed by Talon and killing him, Purple Skin, Spider motif, Ax-Crazy because she loves to kill, Dark Action Girl, Every Bullet is a Tracer, Using a Grappling-Hook Pistol, Sexy French woman, French Jerk, Lack of Empathy, "Feels Alive" while killing, Spandex, Latex, or Leather
  • Domains: Assassins, Snipers, Brainwashment, Widows, Violence
  • Allies: Sektor, HYDRA
  • Rivals: Mr. Mundy, The Spy, Lupo (From the Wolfpack)
  • Enemies: Tracer, Nova Terra
  • Commonality Connection: Sarah Kerrigan
  • Opposed by: The Hall of Couples
  • Pitied by: Chase/Kamen Rider Chaser, Cammy White, Alex Mason
  • Annoyed by: Amélie Poulain
  • Amélie Lacroix was once the loving wife of a renowned operitve of Overwatch, Gerard Lacroix, who was a frequent target of assassination from the Terrorist Organization Talon. She was captured her and subjected to all kind of experiments before seemingly returning her without consecuences. However, she managed to murder her husband in his sleep and since then became the Cold Sniper and agent of Talon known as Widowmaker.
  • Widowmaker's moniker essentially scares all ascended couples, usually fearing for their beloved ones because of the chance she decides to end their life. Widowmaker would certainly don't mind killing them, but she only responds to her higher-ups first before going for the kill.
  • The house of Mentalism has been secretly analizing if the old Amélie was still present somewhere in the mind of the brainwashed woman. Turns out that she might be semi-aware of her situation, but Widowmaker is the dominant personality.
  • Amélie Poulain was certainly curious that another Amélie has ascended and that she was also french. However, Widowmaker immediately found her annoying and tried to kill her. Thankfully, Amélie was saved by Tracer in the nick of time and warned her to not approach the Assassin ever again.
  • Because she was a victim of Brainwashing, gods who suffered the same fate really pity the poor Widowmaker. She tends to ignores these moments of pity she receives but these people believe that deep down the old Amélie must be suffering.
  • Respects Lupo as a fellow Frenchwoman mercenary and because they have similar pasts, but the former can help but be at odds with Widowmaker, particularly because her reason to murdering her husband wasn't that justified but understands she wasn't in control.

Any possible interaction with other french gods? Snipers?

I sort of feel like I want to update Afro Samurai since looking at his profile, most of the text seems to be exposition related to his own story and not the pantheon in general, there's some grammatical errors present, and there's not that much interactions with other deities. Thoughts on that?

Any trickster as Monkey wouldn't like them since they remind him of his past. Also, janitors? Which deities used their techniques?

The Furious Five members , Gods of Badass Crew (Tigress: Whiskers Kitty-poo, That Guy with the Stripes, Ti, Stripey baby, Kitten; Viper: Noodles; Crane: El Storko; Mantis: Little Britches; Monkey: Doodle)

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/furiousfive_1.jpg
From left to right: Monkey, Viper, Crane, Mantis, Tigress
  • Lesser Gods
  • Symbol: A silhouette of themselves in a poster.
  • Alignment: Lawful Good
  • Portfolio: Named after their species and fighting style, True Companions, Training from Hell
  • Domains: Kung-Fu, Team, Masters
  • Allies: Po, Wong Fei Hung, Ip Man, Bruce Lee, Chen and Li Li Stormstout, Mulan (All), Wyldstyle (Tigress), Kung Lao, Toph, Scyther (Mantis), Sun Wukong (Monkey)
  • Enemies: Lord Shen, Noob Saibot (Monkey), Shang Tsung (Viper & Crane), Havik, Cobra Commander, Orochi (Senran Kagura), Orochi (King of Fighters), Voldemort (Viper)
  • Opposed by: Indiana Jones, Samuel L. Jackson (Viper)
  • Avatar: Jackie Chan (Monkey)
  • The Furious Five are five of the most skilled kung-fu masters in China. Students of Master Shifu, they defended the Valley of Peace and soon became friends with the Dragon Warrior, Po, after seeing his determination and later, defeating Tai Lung. Well, it took Tigress for her to respect Po after he defeated Tai Lung.
  • Po told some of his pupils and some deities of the origins of the Furious Five: Mantis was a very impatient man which got himself captured by bandits and was forced to wait for his time to strike against his captors, Viper was the daughter of the Grand Master Viper who was born without venomous fangs and was timid until she saved his father from a bandit wearing heavy armor, Crane was a janitor of a kung-fu academy who was unconfident until one of their pupils convince him to take the entry exam, Tigress was feared by her orphanage because of appearance and lack of control of her strength until Shifu taught her discipline and later adopted her, and Monkey was once a trickster who pranked his village owing from a public humiliation and was undefeated by even the toughest man until he lost to Master Oogway and encouraged him to show compassion. Just don't tell them that you learned of their past from Po.
  • They specialize in fighting style named after their species, which suits their ability, with Tigress based on fierce strikes, Monkey based on acrobatic attacks, Mantis striking vulnerable locations through speed, Viper waits to twist together her foes and attack, and Crane specialize in long range fighting. They are willing to teach others if they are willing.
    • They end up finding other practicers of the martial arts they train on. So far, only Mantis enjoy the company of the Shaolin monk Kung Lao and the blind Earthbender Toph, as the others are either evil or, for the case of Havik, crazy.
    • They are seen mostly training at the House of Combat where they meet and honor the other kung-fu masters in the Pantheon. They however do not enjoy seeing those who would use their talents for evil.
  • When Po tried to help his goose father in attracting more customers, some of the things he thought up were including them, a night time at a swamp with Mantis and Viper, and the other being a spoof of the Old Spice which caused Tigress to attack him since he was sitting on top of her.
  • Tigress didn't like Po at first, because he was chosen over a master. However, after Po defeated Tai Lung, she begins respecting him a bit more. Some like to see her having interest in the Dragon Warrior in which she denies any claim that it is a thing.
  • Tigress was once a high priestess to Wildstyle, but since she has since joined the Pantheon along with ehr team, she is no longer her priestess. She still respects the LEGO figure since she thought that she was going to be chosen The Dragon Warrior but was pass to Po instead. Although, she wanted to be the Dragon Warrior in order to gain her master's affection rather than the fame of the title.
  • Mantis is known to give acupuncture, so he is seen giving treatments to his friends or those in the House of Health and Diseases. But don't make him give treatments to fat people as he has a hard time finding the pressure points. He also has a bad habit of accidentally placing a needle in the facial nerve like Po and, at one time, Viper.
  • Mantis was greeted by a Scyther, a Pokemon which looks like a mantis. Without knowing it, he thought it could be a female and was a bit wary that it might take interest in him, become his mate, and then eat his head. He was relieved that the Scyther was male.
  • Crane was a former janitor so while he's no longer working as he's a kung-fu master, he still appreciates some of the janitors in the Pantheon as he came from a humble beginning which convinced him to work higher through confidence.
  • Viper is a bit sad about the snake hate, though she doesn't let it mess with her when the people of the Valley were frightened of her of rumors of an evil snake terrorizing the Valley and has dealt with him. She doesn't like any evil snakes or representing snakes in the Pantheon as they give snake a bad name.
  • Monkey doesn't appreciate tricksters as they remind him of his past when he was a trickster who tormented his village. He thought about trying to show them mercy and encourage them to show compassion just as Master Oogway has, but he knew that it would come to no avail so he confronted them when they come up with a scheme.

Ryoma, Hinoka, Takumi, and Sakura, Deities of Primary Color Champions (Ryoma: Peerless Samurai, Lobster Lord; Hinoka: Warrior Princess; Takumi: Wild Card, Pineapple Bro; Sakura: Loving Priestess)

@Faso If I recall, Lockon Stratos has the aformentioned trope. I have two things:

You can mention that she had to snatch the title from him, via assassination from different angles. Like a typical sniper shootout.

The other one is based on his title, since he has both Friendly Sniper and Cold Sniper. What would his title be then?

BTW, here is my take on them:

Junkrat
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/roadhog.png

What do you think? I honestly believe the other profile is better. Besides, i have been wanting to work on Reaper instead
