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.

[up] Yeah, she doesn't seem to have any singles out yet. Which I guess sort of tampers with that idea, but the idea is there. The trope does fall into those tropes where unless someone focuses on that kind of idea, it isn't really a usable trope.

Are Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy ready to ascend? Is there anything left to add to Jack and Maddie Fenton?

Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy, Co-Gods of Venerable Superheroes (Real names: Tim and Ernie)

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Mermaid_Man_Barnacle_Boy_old_5757.jpg
The dynamic duo, then and now
  • Votes: 1(kingvideogames)
  • House: Heroic Appearances (House of Heroes)
  • Lesser Gods(Intermediate in their prime)
  • Symbol: Mermaid Man's gadget belt
  • Theme Song: The Lineman
  • Alignment: Lawful Good (both of them, though Barnacle Boy's a bit crabby)
  • Portfolio: Fat and Skinny, Old Superhero, Superhero Parodies, Only Humans In Bikini Bottom (We Think), Retired Badass, I Was Quite a Looker
  • Domains: Seniority, The Sea, Superheroes
  • High Priest: Mr Legend
  • Followers: Gligarman, Genghiz Cohen, The Green Termite
  • Allies: Arthur Curry, Bruce Wayne, Finn the Human, Diana Prince, the Powerpuff Girls, Ariel
  • Headbutting Heroes with: Spongebob Squarepants and Patrick Star (both of them), Dick Grayson, Squidward Tentacles (Barnacle Boy only)
  • On good terms with: The House of Aquatic Life
  • Enemies: Mermaid Man opposes anything "Eeeevil!". To be more specific, they oppose the following; Plankton, The Lich, Hexxus, The Sea King, Mr Burns, Ursula and the Wicked Witch of the West
  • Opposes: The House of Crime
  • Decades ago, Bikini Bottom would find itself troubled by supervillains, however superheroes existed to counter them. Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy fought against villains like the Dirty Bubble and Man-Ray, however despite all their power they were not immune to the ravages of time. Thanks to Spongebob and Patrick they would partly come out of retirement, but at their age they're still rusty.
  • They used to be part of the International Justice League of Super Acquitances, or I.J.L.S.A for short. Their members included The Quickster, the Elastic Waistband, Captain Magma and Miss Appear. Though they aren't around any more, their powers are in the form of their costumes. When a massive threat comes about the protectors of Bikini Bottom, they'll rent these costumes out to their friends. Mind you when they gave them to Spongebob and his allies, it ended up with all of them injured due to incompetence.
  • They have a complicated relationship with Spongebob and Patrick. Sure, the two have helped them out but their massive fanboyism has caused a number of problems as well. Their first outing brought the elderly heroes out of retirement, but to stop their nuisances. Mermaid Man is a lot more forgiving than Barnacle Boy, mainly because he gets the brunt of their misfortune. Barnacle Boy will work with Squidward, however they don't get along that much despite being alike.
  • Mermaid Man's belt has a number of gadgets, however it's hard to operate and can end up backfiring(mainly on Squidward). It's main power is to shrink things, however it's not clear how to reverse this. Both Mermaid Man and Patrick believe you need to switch the M around for W or wumbo, of which the latter is well versed in. There being no known way to reverse the shrinkage though it would explain how despite being humans they're the size of a squirrel.
  • Being undersea heroes, they have a lot in common with Arthur Curry. The two are glad to sea that there's a young, strong superhero protecting the sea. In general they get along with the House of Aquatic Life. They also owe Wonder Woman a debt, being that
  • It's not entirely clear why Mermaid Man is called that despite being male, or wears the Seashell Bra. According to him it has something to do with the fact Clothes Make the Superman, and is comfortable enough "fighting in colored undies" to not try and change it. It's also unclear why Barnacle Boy isn't Barnacle Man at this point, something he's frustrated with and had a temporary Face–Heel Turn (admittedly a harmless one) to get some respect. So far he's managed to get it.
  • Mermaid Man is vehemently against evil of any kind, and will go into a fit if its mentioned. He immediately joined the GUAG upon learning of the Grand United Alliance Of EVIL!!!, far more of a threat than E.V.I.Lnote  ever was. Because of their ability to manipulate water, the Wicked Witch of the West considers them a major threat. They also opposes Ursula for her desire to overthrow King Triton, and the Sea King for his association with water.
  • They were fairly neutral with Plankton, but after he tried hijacking their brains to turn people against Krabby Patties he is considered an enemy.
  • The two owe a lot to Batman and Robin, mainly their campy 60s era selves. The two get along with fine with Bruce Wayne, however Barnacle Boy is pretty jealous towards Dick Grayson; he's in his sixties and still stuck in the sidekick role.
  • Living under the sea, they naturally oppose polluters like Mr Burns and Hexxus. They're also pretty concerned with the likes of the Lich, who's capable of killing water.

@TPPR: Here's an idea, why not give the Ultra Beasts Dump Stat or Min-Maxing since the Ultra Beasts all have a one or a few stats that range from great to disgustingly high, and one or a few that range from horrid to meh.

For those curious these are their stats, listed HP, Attk, Def, Sp Attk, Sp Def, Spd:

  • Nihilego: 109 53 47 127 131 103
  • Buzzwole: 107 139 139 53 53 79
  • Pheromosa: 71 137 37 137 37 151
  • Xurkitree: 83 89 71 173 71 83
  • Celesteela: 97 101 103 107 101 61
  • Kartana: 59 181 131 59 31 109
  • Guzzlord: 223 101 53 97 53 43

@ Koopas: TPPR 10, I did ask for them and got permission in case you're wondering. They do provide the image and the majority of Koopas(like the grunts I'm mainly focusing on) can take off their shells

In regards the the Ultra Beasts getting Dump Stat or Min-Maxing: That works, because aside from Xurkitree every one of them does that.

[up][up] I am pretty certain that Beach Koopas (aka Koopas without shells) aren't that common in Mario games. Only ones I cam remember are World and 3D World. I think in Sunshine there was one type of Koopa what could launch its shell.

[up] I think you mean Celesteena.

I think I'm done with these two.

Asmodeus, Divine Master of Loophole Abuse (The Archfiend, Dark Prince, The First, God-Fiend, King of Hell, Lord of Darkness. Lord of Hell, Lord of the Pit, Master of Witches, Prince of Darkness, Prince of Devils, Prince of Hell, Prince of Law, Ruler of Hell)

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/281px-asmodeus_5131.jpg
  • Intermediate God
  • Symbol: A pentagram
  • Alignment: Lawful Evil
  • Portfolio: Affably Evil, Big Red Devil, Light Mace as his signature weapon, Cool Chair, Deal with the Devil, Dystopia Justifies the Means, Even Evil Has Standards, Hates Free Will, God of Evil, Horned Humanoid, Legions of Hell, Rules Lawyer, Satanic Archetype, Visionary Villain, Well-Intentioned Extremist
  • Domains: Evil, Fire, Law, Magic, Trickery
  • Herald: Basileus
  • Allies: The Godhand, Calypso, Agatha Trunchbull, Calvin J. Candie and Stephen, Doctor Faustus (usually)
  • Rivals: Melkor, YHWH, Vegeta
  • Enemies: Lucifer (SMT), The Beast, Samuel, Morrigan and Lilith, Drizzt Do'Urden,
  • Opposed by: Cayden Cailean, Rosemary Woodhouse
  • One of the oldest deities in the Pathfinder universe, Adsodeus has gotten word of the ultimate Pantheon. All it took was multiple dealings with those knowledgable of the place and it wasn't long until he found a cushy spot for himself. He delighted in all the new faces to make contracts (and abuse the hell out of them).
    • His ascension was met with immediate condemnation with Cayden Cailean. Previously the lone deitiy of his world, the Archdevil was literally one god he wanted the least to ascend. Is also one of the few gods in the Pantheon that would never negotiate with him for any circumstances. He also warned Cosmos not to do the same.
  • Upon entering the Pantheon, he was annoyed with the notion of being a newcomer when he was so quick to dismiss younger deities in his own world. His own followers would retort he has a contract that would deliver him the multiverse. Most deities would consider that an outrageous bluff. The Question put it as one more conspiracy to uncover.
  • Asmodeus not only rules Hell in Golarion's multiverse, but also in the Forgotten Realms' multiverse. He hopes to spread his influence in even more worlds.
  • Has a rather conflicting relationship between Melkor and YHWH. In truth, he enjoys working with both deities and was disappointed in how much both factions hate each other. When both gods told him to choose a side, he chose to walk out. Both sides vow to bring Asmodeus into the fold; The Prince of Darkness duly intends to play the field.
  • There is one deity who he refuses to cooperate with. He was appalled to see a demon as one of the four most powerful deities in the Pantheon. Lucifer delightfully pointed that out to troll him. Asmodeus has put significant resources to unseat the leader of the GUAC.
    • Various demons in the Pantheon have pooled their resources towards Lucifer after their followers started being attacked by his forces. The Beast, Samuel and the succubi all teamed up in support of Lucifer.
  • Asmodeus already has a strong disdain for the drow, disappointed in their choice of Chaotic Evil gods and demons. The existance of Drizzt Do'Urden is an even greater insult, seeing him side with Cayden after defecting. Drizzt is well versed in the devil's existence and has experience in dealing with his kind.
  • Rumor has it that he killed his Good-aligned equivalent deity in his world, which was his brother. The Godhand was impressed with his treachery and vowed to vouch for his side in the meantime.
  • He has domain over some other concepts in the Pantheon in Golarion such as Tyranny, Slavery, Pride and Contracts. For contracts, he made a deal with Calypso to carry on his work there while the later maintains his work elsewhere.
  • Behind every dictatorship is an education to match, one that is designed to suppress any chance of rebellion. To that end he depends on Agatha Trunchbull. She may be a Sadistic Teacher, but she knows how to keep a classroom under control.
  • While Asmodeus employs those who exploit loopholes with contracts, Faust is in charge of those who sign said contracts. Whether he cooperates with the devil depends on the version. In some cases, Faust is under the complete command of Mephistopheles, Asmodeus' direct underling. In other cases, he revolts against so far as to use his new powers against the dealers.
  • Rosemary saw far too many similarities with his followers to cultists she had to deal with. Her followers lament about having to deal with yet another Satanic Archetype character. They have already been subject to attacks from his own followers.

Pennywise, God of Child Eaters (IT, The Dancing Clown, The Deadlights, The Spider

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/pennywise_7.jpg
  • Theme Song: IT Main Theme
  • Intermediate God, Greater God his his own dimension
  • Symbol: A clown mask
  • Alignment: Chaotic Evil
  • Domains: Chaos, Evil, Fear, Murder, Clowns
  • Portfolio: Monster Clown, Dirty Coward, Eldritch Abomination, Empathic Shapeshifter, Evil Has a Bad Sense of Humor, Faux Affably Evil, Great Gazoo, Laughably Evil, Morphic Resonance, Politically Incorrect Villain, Voluntary Shapeshifting, Would Hurt a Child
  • Followers: Astarte, Donato Porpora, The Witch, Arioch
  • High Priests: The Sanderson Sisters
  • Allies: Basco ta Jolokia, Sweet Tooth, The Joker, Sinestro, The House of Fear, Annie Wilkes
  • Rivals: Beetlejuice
  • Opposed by: Every child deity EVER, especially Billy and the Kids Next Door, Eliza Thornberry, The High School D×D gangs, Ghost Rider, Sam and Dean Winchester
  • Feared by: Dr. Frank-n-Furter, Nathan Drake
  • Fears: Hal Jordan/Green Lantern, Captain Planet, Heart Aino
  • Admired by: the Thing
  • Annoys: The House of Knowledge
  • Many believe fear of clowns originated from this monstrocity. A being older than time itself, IT only recently decided to make a seat in the Pantheon, mainly for it's preference of eating children.
    • Children all over the Pantheon urged the Court of the Gods to ban him from the House of Family, which they did. Everywhere else is fair game. Nowadays, every child in the Pantheon have to keep one eye open at all times, lest they get eaten as well.
    • Billy's reaction of his ascension was to lock himself in his temple for 2 weeks, chanting "DESTROY US ALL!" the whole time. To him, Pennywise represents everything he fears about clowns. Many agree that he is the sole reason so many people fear clowns to this day.
    • The Kids Next Door has promised to keep fellow kids safe from this new threat. Numbah 2 is already hard at work devising weaponry specifically designed to fight the clown. They plan to distribute it to every kid in the Pantheon to defend themselves.
  • Needles Kane was there to congratulate his fellow Monster Clown upon his ascension. While Pennywise had no interest in the frozen treats given to him as tribute, he was more than happy to use his newfound powers to terrorize the Pantheon.
  • He was met shortly afterwards by the Joker. He couldn't care less about hurting children, though he does wish IT improves on the humor. Pennywise doesn't mind the company, as long as the Joker provide him with fresh food.
  • He considers Sinestro an inspiration, one who knows how to use fear in order to indoctrine others. Sinestro has added Pennywise as a potential candidate for a yellow Lantern Ring.
  • Basco can at least be happy that he is no longer most hated by children. It's not by much though, as he directs Pennywise to thoses he backstabs... including children.
  • The fact that this monster sounds like her father disturbs Eliza Thornberry to no end. IT even used this trick to almost lure her to her doom.
    • Not even Dr. Frank-n-Furter is willing to give that clown a whirl. Being voiced by the same actor didn't make IT's case much better.
    • The Thing, member of the Addams Family, was more fascinated with the clown than afraid. Or in particular IT's hands, who looked exactly the same size as it.
  • Various scholars in the House of Knowledge have tried to find out IT's origins to no avail. Pennywise has taken advantage of this, handing out false rumors of his existance.
    • There was one breakthrough in the case. Pennywise once revealed the closest thing to Pennywise's final form: a black spider pregnant with various eggs in her sac. It did not calm their nerves one bit.
  • Pennywise owes IT's existance to Stephen King, an author who has yet to ascend. Though this might change soon enough. IT has been convinced of ascending the author by Annie Wilkes, who would want nothing more than to kidnap her creator and force him to write Misery's Return.
  • Few want to burn the soul of that monster than Ghost Rider. He may also be one of the few who can pernamently defeat it; Pennywise doesn't stay long in the presence of the Spirit of Vengeance.
  • Both the Winchesters and the Occult Club plan to work together to stop Pennywise. He represents an entity both groups are all to familiar with.
  • The Nostalgic Critic was not too impressed with the newcomer. After reviewing the movie, he claims that the clown is more funny than really scary and that Stephen King is not nearly as good of a writer as people think. Afterwards, the critic was found dead in his house, likely due to Pennywise in retaliation. He got better of course.
  • Beetlejuice sees him as a potential rival to his "bio-exorcism" profession.
  • He may appear to be unstoppable, but he does have one weakness. IT heavily depends on the fear of others to transform to such things. Those who have the courage and heart to stand up to the monstrocity can reduce its strength. That means people with massive willpower such as Hal Jordan or those powered by heart such as Captain Planet and Heart Aino are avoided as much as possible.
  • Nathan Drake has a well-known fear of clowns. He's already given them a 10 on the fear scale. Pennywise gets an eleven.

@faso Just gonna start with the eponymous web comic's character and go from there. There is no way I'm doing the entire cast, way too much.

Alright, final day. I forgot to post it again before, not much I can do about it now. Kinda touched up a few things and added more suggestions. Anything else, or are we good?

The Vex, Divine Race of Mechanical Abominations (Machines of Hate, Gardeners in Vessels of Bronze, Machines born of Lightning)

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/image_443.jpg
  • Potential House: Abominations, and/or Cybernetics and Enhancements
  • Intermediate Gods, Greater Gods with the Vault of Glass
  • Symbol: A simple depiction of a Vex Goblin's head, The Glass Throne
  • Theme Songs: The Vex, Ishtar Sink, Eye of the Gate Lord, Black Garden, and Chronologies
  • Alignment: True Neutral which leans on Blue-and-Orange Morality. Has shades of Lawful Evil.
  • Portfolio: Cyborg, Cargo Cult, Robot Religion, Non-Linear Character, Time Master, Agent of the Darkness, Co-Dragons, Clockwork Creature, Mecha-Mooks, Trying to remake everything so that they follow the pattern, Starfish Aliens, Immortality Seeker, Mad Scientist
  • Domains: Time, Power, Structure, Construction, Mystery
  • Allies: All Eldritch Abomination deities that don't conflict with their goals. They haven't encountered one, yet.
  • Enemies: Everyone else in the Pantheon for being imperfect and/or standing in the way of Vex supremacy. In terms of specifics: The Dahaka, Chronos, Immortal God Emperor of Mankind and every other Warhammer40k human deity associated with him, Master Chief, Doomguy, Isaac Clarke, The Neuroi, Neo, The Flood/Gravemind
  • Rivals: The Daleks
  • Interested In: Hyde Kido, The Human Child, and all Deities who's power involves friendship.
  • Deities in the House of Technology woke up to a peculiar sight. A conflux of Non-baryonic streams had appeared for seemingly no reason. When deities were to investigate, dark clouds and static filled the area and the House was shot at with particle jets, exotic particle decay, and gateways shooting void energy. The House repelled the onslaught, only to find out the Vex had ascended in the Pantheon.
  • The Vex's temple is the Vault of Glass, an Eldritch Location that's the Vex's own personal universe. It serves as their testing ground for ontological weaponry in their home universe before being put to a halt by the Guardians, hijacked by the Fallen, and later invaded again by the Taken. It's unknown whether or not the Axis Minds inside ascended alongside the Vex though not many gods are willing to risk it and find out.
  • When engaging the Vex, it's best not to destroy their heads and instead aim at the glowing white core on their chests. Doing so will only piss them off and charge guns blazing, but it does deactivate their Teleportation Spam. Unless if it's a Minotaur, then just keep wearing them down and keep moving.
  • While not Omniscient, it would be foolish to think that the Vex's actions are not purposeful. They do have foresight in their future, after all, existing for eons in several of them. The sheer number of Gods that can defy this worries them, and they're manifesting Axis Minds to personally remove them if necessary.
  • Insight on the Vex's origins prove to be fruitless. Each information pierced together only creates more and more questions. The only significant discoveries were that the Vex have biological components similar to that of radiolarian fluid and that they want to kill everything because they deduced it from the Hive, seeing it as an efficient solution for Vex supremecy.
  • It's been discovered that Hobgoblin heads actually make good hatracks. Many deities from the House of Costumes had sought out these Vex, only to receive high-velocity particle jets to the face. Nowadays, they just resort to picking up what's left of their heads after a battle.
  • The Vex will worship any deity that they cannot comprehend so long as they get something out of it or they do not cross the Vex in some way. They understand that the Eldritch Abominations here won't be as generous back at their home universe. So far, their search for one is looking bleak.
  • Their ambitions has led them to despise all five Alliances in the Pantheon because all of their goals and members stand in the way in one form or another. They don't care about morality as they see the pattern a much bigger priority, freedom goes agianst said pattern and law itself does not follow theirs. The only alliance they could possibly fit in is the GUAD, but they know that their goals will get rid of the Vex too, which is unacceptable.
  • Given the diversity in the Pantheon, the Vex have taken an interest in numerous deities, mainly for their powers and weaponry. They hope to replicate what they learn from many gods in the Pantheon, like what they did to the Hive's Sword Logic when they invaded Oryx's Throne World. Already they have begun manifesting Axis Minds to deduce these strange powers.
    • The Vex are perplexed by the Insulator's ability to erase beings from existence, something they were capable of but were unable to manifest outside the Vault of Glass. Hyde was advised to avoid confrontation until necessary.
    • The very existence of the Human Child baffles the Vex with their power of Determination. They wish to deduce it for themselves but know that they will be met with heavy resistance. Currently planning to goad others into wearing them down while they simulate their weaknesses, then they may have a shot at understanding it but for now remain idle.
  • Due to their exploitation of time, they are on the Dahaka's kill list and constantly goes after various Axis Minds. They are one of the few deities they actually consider a threat, shrugging off everything they throw at them. Currently, they are manifesting weaponry that is similar to the effects of the Water Sword. The same can be said for Chronos with the difference being he's much more dangerous to them thanks to his Overdeity status.
  • Doesn't sit well with the God Emperor either, being one of the four races to nearly destroy humanity in their home universe. His disgust for Social Darwinism, a belief that the Vex follow, reinforces to what was already a negative relationship, to begin with. They also hate other ascended Warhammer40k human deities associated with him for reminding them too much of a certain alien race occupying Mars.
  • Master Chief is a great thorn in the Vex's side for his super soldier traits and luck. It doesn't help that he's very similar to a certain class of soldier in their home universe.
  • Doomguy is another notable enemy, another audience they have to take care of. He's enemies with them because of the Black Garden's origins on Mars.
  • Aside from already being a threat to humanity, Isaac Clarke REALLY does not like the Vex for their Mad Scientist status. The Vex share this hatred, being an enemy to the deities they worship and facing entities like them alone and come out on top.
  • It's something of a territorial war between them and the Neuroi, the Vex working a bit more to simulating and manifesting Axis Minds than most other deities. It may be because most of their troops are ariel based ones and that they can regenerate everything besides the core, a category the Vex never really bothered with or are used to, but they are slowly countering with Axis Minds manifesting weaponry to exploit the Neuroi's cores.
  • Besides being a Screw Destiny being, which is already enough for them to warrant Gate Lord Minotaurs coming after him, Neo's power in the virtual world means fighting on that front would be more difficult.
  • If Chronos and the Dahaka were deities that the Vex acknowledges as an enemy, the Daleks come close in that regard. They are notable for not only for their power but their similarities as a whole as well. Battles with both of them are always destructive and heavily damaging to the area that held it.
  • After doing a bit of research on some of the deities for their interests alone, they will stand alongside several deities should the Flood ever become a threat again. Its sole existence alone cements their beliefs of the universe being imperfect for others and that Vex supremacy is the only path to perfection.

All my fault, you say...? What fault? I daresay it's all thanks to me.

@ TPPR 10: Good. And as said, I already got permission and the profile deals with the normal Koopa. Majority of them don't need their shells to live, and its a common game mechanic that they can be removed

Do you guys think I could work on Foo Fighters for Uplifted Animal? Winston (the previous suggestion) is getting Apes in Space, and she fits being plankton getting a mind of their own thanks to the magic that is Stand Discs

Bastet nearly got an exact copy of Catwoman's skin, but it was taken down... Also to note, her more 'humanoid' appearance is a more liberal interpretation, most people usually believe that her head would be more of a literal cat's (something like Sonic-style animal head)

Uplifted Animal could go to cast of Planet of the Apes. I know Ceaser is in here. Could get a trope change.
