Trope Pantheons Discussion

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 means the profile will have a one week waiting period.
  - For new and reworked deities, 4 is a 3 day waiting period.
  - 5 is an automatic ascension for new and reworked deities.
  - Speaking of reworks, for anyone that wants to improve such profiles, they have to review the current trope the character(s) has and see if it still holds up or if there is a better rep for their trope.
- For adding new Treasures to The Great Treasury or new Dominions to the Dominions, the following rules apply:
  - For new Treasures or Dominions, 3 is a 3 day waiting period.
  - 4 is an automatic addition to the Great Treasury or Dominions.
- Do not repost a profile in the forums more than twice in a day if noticeable changes have not been made in between. If a profile is posted a third time in a row without noticeable alterations, it will be downvoted. This is so spamming of no-effort profiles is less frequent and to prevent tropers from getting aggravated seeing the same profile over and over. The minimum acceptable change has to be a single flavour text.
- The Pantheon is not a mouthpiece for you to voice your opinions on certain characters. You may like certain characters more than others, but do not make the mistake of making profiles for characters you like look like Character Shilling.
- Tropers new to the Pantheon are barred from approving or downvoting profiles until they have ascended at least two profiles.
- Do not include fan reception in any profiles. It has nothing to do with the character themselves and will create unnecessary conflict.
- Write a detailed explanation on why the character is the best candidate for deity of that trope. If people disagree with you, do not force it on the people.
- Keep in mind that if you still want to try to find a trope for a particular character, you are only given three chances to find a particular trope for them. If a suggestion goes past three possible tropes, then it will come off as shoehorning a character into the Pantheon just for the sake of that character to be there.
  - On a related note, even if a character does have a free trope being suggested, there is still a limit of three attempts for suggesting that character for that trope. If no one responds to that certain proposal after being posted three times, then it will get to the point where the idea will be seen as being shoehorned into the Pantheon. In addition, the idea needs to be considered acceptable and approved because they are good, not for the sake of pitying others because no one is responding to their idea.
When posting Pantheon related stuff to the wiki, take note of the following:
- Do not put a link to these Pantheon pages into the main wiki page. The moment you want to add in a main Characters page that the character is a God of this trope, do not do it. If you see leftovers of this practice, inform the forum and use the cutlist. This also goes to the Trivia page. The only exception to this rule is if a page in the Pantheon could be confused for a page in Main, like Good Colors, Evil Colors and Good and Evil Colors.
- Rule of Cautious Editing Judgment ALSO applies here. Do not bring things that would incite fights, even if it is what is currently the hot topic and might be 'urgent'. For example, the political scene and some really bad politicians. We are not here to fight at each other, so don't suggest things that go to that direction, this is a fictional Pantheon after all.
- To add a Pantheon page for a certain work, 4 or more characters coming from the same series/franchise should be ascended before adding the page. For Creator specific pages, 4 deities coming from the same creator and 2 individual work pages coming from the same creator is the minimum to warrant a page.
- Do not create a trope page for a story until the story is fully completed.

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 swear this is another one of those profiles that just suddenly showed up here without being discussed. I'm getting really tired of that.

Also, I'm pretty sure TPPR has Femme Fatale Spy reserved for Mata Hari.

Big Band ascends back on the beat today.

Big Band, God of Musical Gameplay (Band Camp, Ben Birdland, Detective Sax)

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/big_band_tvtropes_1725.png

Potential House: Musical Genres
Count: 3 (Clovis, Faso, Omega)
Day: 3 of 3
Intermediate God
Symbol: His saxophone.
Theme Song: Forgotten Memories, or when he's feeling fancy, his version of "Bulgar's Holiday" called Big Band's Holiday
Alignment: Lawful Good
Portfolio: By-the-Book Cop, Alliterative Name, Ascended Extra, Film Noir, the foil to Peacock, Gag Dub, Genre Savvy, Handicapped Badass, Hard Boiled Detective, Private Eye Monologue, Instrument of Murder, Musical Gameplay, able to parry attacks, old machinery but still good, Team Dad
Domains: Jazz, Law, Musical Combat, Cyborgs
Allies: Peacock, Parasoul, Painwheel, Soichiro Yagami, Vi, Caitlyn, Brook and Sergey Stepanov/Epic Sax Guy as well as some other morale musicians, the good members within the house of Justice, Bigby Wolf
Conflicting Opinion: Beowulf, Bloody Marie, Discord
Enemies: Eliza, Double, B. B. Hood, Jinx, The Joker, Bloody Mary, I-No, Margaret Moonlight, Courtney Gears and Lord Raptor, Light Yagami, The Dark Judges, Dio Brando.
During one of Peacock and Jinx's sessions of wreaking mayhem around the Pantheon, Jinx slowly got closer and more deadly, veering towards target Peacock didn't intend or want to hurt, including Marie and some other Skullgirls deities she wanted to protect (she originally wanted to do a run with her through the House of Villains but got sidetracked). Upon ("Finally," as Marie puts it,) realizing what a deadly force Jinx is, she instantly tried to reign her in and fight her. Unfortunately, because Caitlyn and Vi were too far behind, it was more or less a endless draw. Just when it looked like Jinx was about to gain the upper hand, Jinx got hit by a giant brass sphere, before being assaulted by a series of rapid fire brass arm punches, before the figure pressed his foot against her back, telling her the Miranda rights while placing handcuffs on her. Big Band has ascended just in time, and has since been one of the few deities whom can put up with her antics and catch her.
He was one of the most requested Skullgirls DLC characters, second only to Squigly. Peacock was a big support◊ in getting him in.◊ Once he managed to get chosen for the game, he celebrated...by as he says,◊ "celebrating quietly". Regardless, Peaock was still estatic to see him in. He also celebrated the same way when he learned that he was ascended into the Pantheon. Though for some reason (besides the obvious of saxes that is), the Epic Sax Guy is a big fan of him, seeing how he not only has a victory pose as him, but rumors said he did this in celebration of his ascension and funding. While Big Band refuses to comment, he does indeed play the sax with him from time to time.
Despite being essentially the foil to Peacock, the two of them actually have a close bond. He is constantly teaching her to be more mature and responsible but still lets her do her own thing, even watching "Annie: Girl Of The Stars" with her and Marie a show they both loved back when they were orphans. Meanwhile, Peacock is genuinely impressed and amazed with his fighting prowess, even calling him "Senpai" when in her Japanese mode. Obviously, inciting either of the two will ensure the other is about to come face you shortly.
- Parasoul was relieved to find out he ascended and inquired him to help around her temple dealing with criminals, which he calmly agreed. However, on one of his shifts, he accidentally saw through a temple window Parasoul watching "Annie: Girl Of The Stars". He instantly realized what the show was and invited her over to Peacock's temple to watch it with her and Marie. While she declined, he noticed that for some reason afterwards, she has been able to capture Peacock and even Marie with greater ease and take them back to her temple to prison them. It is not a ruse to let the two into her temple so they can marathon Annie episodes. When pressed about it, Big Band just chortles and goes on his way, saying "Too much TV is bad for you!"
- While Peacock and Big Band are very happy to be reunited, Big Band also scolded Peacock (though in his usual Private Eye Monologue Deadpan Snarker way) for trying to work with someone like Jinx, forcing her into shame and apologizing sincerely. Big Band, being the understanding guy that he is, accepted the apology. He also insisted that she still has work to do after almost dying to the Skullgirl. This time, Peacock pulled up a Not Me This Time and insisted that she actually DID beat the Skullgirl all by herself, and that Big Band wasn't even IN Peacock's Story. They have since taken this issue to the Court Of Gods whom decreed that while both stories are technically true, as of yet; no true ending is available for them to draw forth information from.
  - Wanting to put Peacock to a better use besides vigilante justice, he talked with Caitlyn and Vi with plans of setting up a meeting with Vi to talk with Peacock about the fact that they both are Blood Knight and ruthless cops who still want to do justice. Upon seeing how they are Not So Different, Peacock and Vi instantly got on board the idea of working together, and celebrated by launching a attack on some suspected crimes that were going on within the house of Villains...possibly causing MORE damage than she could've done with Jinx (probably because while Peacock thinks Jinx takes things too far, Vi and Peacock have more common grounds and thus, less reasons to think the other takes things too far). Caitlyn offered him her sympathies and lets him drink with her.
Big Band: At least it's not towards innocents...
While he is curious to see if he can get Peacock to extend her range of moves (and maybe be on the same level of godhood as him, a fact that annoys her to no end), he definitely wants it to be a slow yet smooth transition. As such, he dreads getting her and Discord to even know about each other, let alone even meet up, despite the fact his is pretty much okay with him as he is right now, and thinking she can learn anything from darker comedians like The Joker is straight out of the question.
He's thankful for Peacock beating down B.B. Hood within a minute flat after he fell to her. She is currently on his watch-list, looking out for when she wants to strike again.
Has officially adopted Painwheel into the Lab 8 family. While she doesn't show much appreciation for it (especially when Peacock calls her "Needles"), she is actually very thankful towards Big Band in private.
He often makes trips to the house of Justice, reporting in as a cop. While there are some evil people there, like the Dark Judges, he just doesn't mind them (unless they are in the process of a scheme that is threatening the house, mind you,) and works with the other good deities there. He often teams up with Soichiro Yagami, pitying him because they both were backstabbed by people that they thought they could trust which led to them being severely hurt. Out of respect, he helps him with his son whom is Kira, as Big Band's face is covered up most of the time, the Shinigami Eyes can't do much for Ryuk.
Sometimes performs soft jazz music with Brook, either within the House of Music or as eating music in the House of Food. He and Brook are also some of the first few responders in case something starts up with I-No's band that can be threatening.
- Sometimes, he gets fancy and decides to get some deities to clone him in order to make songs that mimic other tunes, ranging from Nyan Cat to the slide theme from Super Mario 64 and even the whole Undertale soundtrack. He even played for Peacock's song of All The Countries Of The World. He has even composed a list for it.
Peacock begged him to not go after and try to kill Marie the Skullgirl. While he can't promise much, he does understand and pity Peacock for not wanting him to hurt her best friend since childhood. He has settled for letting Peacock handle her tll a time comes that he needs to step in. That said, they all get together to take down Eliza should she be providing too much trouble to the Pantheon.
- He and Marie also don't have that much fondness towards Bloody Mary, and as such, he helps out Bigby Wolf a couple times. Given their Film Noir style of life, they can be seen hitting the pub for a drink a couple of times on their times off from work.
Apparently, he has taken a page from Peacock's book and can freeze time and do a rapid attack, A La Dio Brando. He is speechless on how he can do such a thing (hell, he can see why Peacock can replicate his steamroll move running on Toon Physics), but this has since put him on Dio's hit list.
- He also lets his first impressions of other people deceive him, like thinking that Beowulf was just one of the mafia goons. His thoughts about him soon changed after he was on the end of a Curb-Stomp Battle provided by him and his chair. Since than the two tend to awkwardly avoid each other, but would team up to stop larger threats to the Pantheon should they be needed.
"When the word of law falls, pick it up, and hold it up higher."

Time to rise and shine. Good morning!

Hoping to get approval for The Flag Raisers to ascend.

The Flag Raisers, Divine Heralds of Iconic Flag Posing ^Members

Demigods
Symbol: Their famous photo of the Iwo Jima flag-raising
Alignment: Appear to be Lawful Good in the eyes of the public, are in reality more on Neutral Good
Portfolio:
- As a whole:Semper Fi, Either getting killed or struggling in the Postwar United States, with only one getting a decent ending, albeit suffering from PTSD, Their photo being printed out in newspapers, magazines, and posters by the millions, Turned into symbols of American Victory by the government, Several members getting killed in action over the course of the Battle of Iwo Jima, Dwindling Party, Fake Ultimate Heroes, Getting several memorials of their actions in both the United States and Iwo Jima

Headbutting Heroes: Takeo Masaki, Pretty much all the IJN kanmusu, The IJN Admiral, Yoshika Miyafuji, Mio Sakamoto
Interservice Rivalry: Cpl. Boyd Travers, Major Winters and Captain Spiers, Charlotte "Shirley" Yeager
Oppose: General Shepherd, Senator Armstrong
The Flag Raisers arrived in the Pantheon via an LVT, complete with both of the flags they raised over Mt. Surbachi on Iwo Jima. The very first deity to greet them was, appropriately enough, Sgt. John Basilone, whom they served alongside with during the first day of the battle there. They and the Sergeant discuss for several hours their own experiences during the battle, including how some of them were killed or wounded during the battle.
- Much like Sgt. Basilone, they're also not too friendly with their US Army counterparts in the Pantheon, particularly with regards to supplies.
Sgt. Hartmann, while normally looking down on recruits, praises them for their service to the Corps, as well as their valuable contribution During the War.
Their very status as war heroes earns the interest of General Shepherd and Senator Armstrong. As with a lot of other deities before them, they refuse their offers of selling War Bonds for their cause, knowing full well their motives reek of War for Fun and Profit. The fact that two of the surviving Flag Raisers were reluctant in the first place to even become propaganda icons doesen't help the already growing distrust between both parties.
Much like Basilone before them, they refuse any association with any of the IJN-affiliated ship girls, much less their commander. The only reason they're not firing on them is due to the efforts of American ship girls, particularly Iowa, telling them about much bigger threats that they themselves could only dream of, much less be capable of fighting. Her presenting them of a picture of one
- Pretty much the same applies towards the witches of the Fuso Empire. Bonus points for Shirley Yeager personally showing them just what kind of monstrosity The Neuroi are. The fact that their weapons wouldn't even scratch or dent the surface of one is enough to convince them of why their universe's nations are working together in the first place.

First draft for Iwo Jima. Anything else that needs to be added?

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

Iwo Jima, The Sacred Island Base

An island south of Japan used a major airbase by both American and Japanese forces late in World War II
Symbol: A map outlining the three airfields and major strongholds scattered throughout
Alignment: True Neutral, as it depends on whoever's currently in control of the island
Portfolio: Death Island, MacGuffin Location, Having fortifications built within a Volcano
Domains: Airbases, Staging Points, Islands
Sacred To: John Basilone
One of many islands the United States wrested control from Japan during the island-hopping campaign late in the Pacific War.
During the last two years of this time, the Japanese forces based there fortified it heavily, placing numerous gun emplacements, bunkers, and artillery and machine gun nests literally into the cliffs of the island.
In addition, the island itself is home to three airfields, two of which were operational at the time of the American landings in February 1945.
Upon its capture by US forces in March 1945, the airfields were immediately fixed and put into operational condition, to be used as a temporary base for bombers targeting Japan, as well as a permanent base for fighters
John Basilone had mixed feelings at first upon seeing the very place where he was killed ascend into the Pantheon. For the most part, he treats the place as a sacred location, in part due to the War Memorial on top of Mt. Suribachi.
Because it was a Japanese Army base, The IJN Admiral was...less enthusiastic with its ascension, due in part to Interservice Rivalry with them.

s: 1
Potential House: Personality
Demigod (Lesser God in his O'Malley persona)
Symbol: His medical scanner
Theme Song
Alignment: Lawful Neutral/Neutral Good (Chaotic Evil as O'Malley)
Portfolio: Flip Personality that became Split Personality, Worst Aid, Actual Pacifist, Apologizes for O'Malley's actions, Butt-Monkey, A.I. Possession, Butt-Monkey, D Istressed Dude, parody of The Heart, Made of Iron, Nice Guy, Revolving Bus Trips, Took a Level in Jerkass And Badass, Sanity Slippage
Domain(s): Psyches, Split Personality, Medics
Followers: Launch, demons from Chalion, Altogether Andrews, Also Agnes Nitt/Perdita, the Tok'ra and their hosts, Mardek Innanu El-Enkidu/Rohoph, Sho Minazuki
Allies:
As Doc: Leonard Church, Lavernius Tucker, Epsilon, Michael J. Caboose, Dexter Grif, Franklin Delano Donut, Agent Texas
Rivals:
Enemies:
- As Doc: Felix, Locus
- As O'Malley: Doc's Allies, The Meta
Disgrace to: Many real doctors
Opposes: Freelancers/Mercenaries in general
One thing Doc is best known for is his time as host for the AI Omega/O'Malley, where instead of having to fight the parasite for control, he's allowed to speak over him on occasion, making for a constant flip of personalities, though O'Malley was on top most of the time.
- In order to properly fit the title, O'Malley, having been wiped out in the "emp" that stripped much of the Meta's powers in the mortal realm, was resurrected back in to Doc's armor. And O'Malley is more than a little surprised to see that his host has a literal split personality of his own as a result of Sanity Slippage from being forgotten by the Blood Gulch Crew after getting stuck in an alternate dimension. Unfortunately for him, he's barred from returning to Tex as that would evict him (and Doc) from the Pantheon altogether, and a Restraining Bolt that keeps O'Malley in came with the package of Doc's ascension.
"Well, a doctor cures people. A medic just makes them more comfortable…while they die." Many certified medics (and some disqualified ones) in the Houses of Life And Death and Health and Diseases see him as a disgrace for this belief, even though he does manage to heal the Reds and Blues with his "expertise".
Doc is surprisingly durable for a simulation trooper, He once was punched so hard into a reinforced wall that he was permanently immersed in 5 tons of it, to the point that not even Super-Strength or the a crane for a Warthog jeep could liberate him. And he didn't even suffer a headache for crying out loud. He also was caught in an explosion that left Agent Washington visibly injured and shaken while he is totally fine with no injuries whatsoever.

Jill Dozer, Goddess of Drill Tanks ('Boss' by the Red Dozers)

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

Potential House: Travel
s: 1
Lesser Goddess on her Drill Dozer, borderline Demigoddess off of it
Symbol: The Drill Dozer. Alternatively, her late mother's Red Diamond
Theme Song: Third Gear
Alignment: Chaotic Good
Portfolio: Operates The Drill Dozer, Leader of the Red Dozers After Her Father Was Hospitalized, Silent Protagonist, Action Girl, Drill Weaponry For Every Situation, Large Brows, Drill Dozer Can Self-Operate, Deflection With Drill Spins, Potential Innuendos
Domain(s): Drills, Tanks, Rogues
Heralds: The Red Dozers (her father's (and by extension, her) gang)
Followers: Kosuke Kita and the Battle Craft, Kazuo Ushiyama and the DrillGao, Rod Drill, Drill Robo, Labyrinth Tank, Calvin 'Cave' Carson, Gina Diggers and her Gespenst, dygos by the Rokador of Zadaa, Screw Head, Nose cone, Drillhorn, Twin Twist, Drill Bit, Drill Dasher, Sledge and Throttler
Allies: Several Nintendo deities, Simon the Digger, Kamina, Excadrill, many good deities in the House of Crime
Rivals: fellow Mini-Mecha pilots like D.Va and Tron Bonne
Enemies: Carmelita Fox, The Anti-Spiral, severl evil deities in the House of Crime
Once a former follower of Simon the Digger, Jill Dozer of the Red Dozers found a vacant trope in the name of Drill Tank and registered for ascension. Since there are very few other applicants for it, she was granted godhood pretty quickly.
When tasked to go out on a mission, Grutch and Gearmo are the ones she trusts on in getting her Drill Dozer running and picking her up on their Red Dozer trailer once she's done. And after the last time she was led into a trap, the two have made countermeasures against Jill jumping onto look-alike trailers sent by the enemy. And Jill herself is not about to fall for the same trick twice, either.
- Thanks to the more advanced technology available in the Pantheon, Jill no longer needs to keep finding 2nd and 3rd Gears for her Drill Dozer (which wear out after every mission). Now, she has up to 3rd Gear right from the start so she can drill to the best of her abilities.
Participated in Master Hand's third tournament as an Assist Trophy. She's miffed that she wasn't brought back for the next one.
Ever since seeing the list of crimes she has pulled off, the establishments in the House of Food make sure that she never skips on paying the bill ever again, especially in restaurants.
There are some who express confusion as to why Jill is a "borderline Demigoddess" off the Drill Dozer. Well, the reason is because during her confrontation with her game's final boss, the Drill Dozer has fallen apart right down to the 1st gear, rendering it unable to drill, leaving her to literally punch him to defeat him. Funnily enough, that's how Simon first defeated Lordgenome. Oh, and there's also the fact that she survived a long fall (albeit while on the Drill Dozer) with only prolonged dizziness to show for it.

@ Jill Dozer:

@ Iwo Jiwa: Two more paragraph, and I'll approve of it. They don't have to be that big though

Is there anything I need to add to these two, or do you guys think they're ready to ascend?

Bastet, Goddess of Feline Superiority (Bast, Baast, Ubaste, Baaset, Goddess of Cats and Protection, Eye of Ra, Muffin, Aunt Kitty, The Sly Enchantress)

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/bastet_8501.png

House: Felines (House of Beasts)
Greater Goddess
Symbol: The sistrum
Alignment: Chaotic Good
Portfolio: Cats Are Superior, Cat Girl (THE Cat Girl), Good-Looking Goddess, Petting-Zoo People, Goddess of Love, Sex, The Sun and More, Beware the Nice Ones, Kind Hearted Cat Lover, Did You Just Kick Apep's Ass?!, The Beastmaster
Domains: Cats, Protection, War, Joy, Family, Music, Dance
Followers: Yoruichi, Solembum, Shere Kahn
Allies: Anubis (her consort), Ra (her father), Geb, Neith, Osiris, Aphrodite, The Protectors of Family, Anakaris, Yami Yugi, The Boss, Retsu Unohana, Erin Yagokoro, Litchi Faye Ling, Artemis
Friendly Rivalry with: Beerus, Mewtwo
On good terms with: Every single feline deity in the pantheon, particularly Simba, Aslan and Ichigo Momomiya. This includes half-feline people like Rutile. Also the Houses of Music, Health and Diseases
Headbutting Heroes with: Glenn Quagmire
Enemies: Apophis, Orochi(Senran Kagura), Slaanesh, the Child Abusers, the GUAD in general, Twitch, YHVH, Nurgle, Pestilence, Typhus, Chernabog, Zs'skayr, Nightmare Moon, The Grand Duke of Owls
Opposes: Ramses, Moses
Opposed by: Nibbler, many dog deities
In Ancient Egypt, cats were considered sacred. Essential in eliminating pests, it would be as early as the 2nd Dynasty a deity would rise to represent them. Daughter of Ra, Bastet is the goddess of war, love, the sun and sensuality. Protector of the home and family, she proved a very popular goddess and it would only be a matter of time until the Trope Pantheon noted. Now she serves a new divine role; that of embodying the mightiness of cats.
Just like every other Egyptian deity, she despises YHVH for His oppression of foreign pantheons like her own. And just like them, she believes Ramses is going too far. Doesn't exactly like Moses either due to the whole "Exodus" thing being somewhat of a sore spot.
Asides from Egypt, she's also part of the Cthulhu mythos as an Elder God. This incarnation works on Planetary Defense Organizations' Dreamlands Management Division alongside N'tse-Kaambal, as a male.
As the original goddess of cats and one of the strongest felines out there, it came to little surprise that she would be made leader of the Felines sub-house. That being said, there is a feline deity who completely surpasses her in strength; Beerus, God of Destruction. Though they compete in terms of who's the better cat deity, they're friends at the end and respect one another. Sometimes they can be seen flirting with each other.
- Mewtwo has shown interest in fighting her and determining who's the stronger feline, which Bastet is open for.
Her views on Glenn Quagmire are complicated, but mostly positive. As a goddess of lust, she's behind Glenn Quagmire scoring but looks down on the lengths he's willing to go to. However Glenn is a massive fan of cats, and is willing to help her with them free of charge.
Most dog deities dislike her, and were upset to learn that the House of Felines got a Greater Deity before them. Many a feline were feeling pretty smug at her ascension. That being said, Bastet doesn't have any bias towards canines. Hell, her consort on most occasions is the jackal-headed Anubis!
As with every Egyptian deity, she detests Apophis. The two have been locked in combat for several millennia, bound by Ra until she had to be released in order to rest. She rested in the Kanes' house cat Muffet, and as a result of their conflict when close she can read the monster's thoughts. Of late, she thought she succeeded in killing the abomination. Unfortunately the dreaded serpent survives in the Trope Pantheon. She requested her ascension almost immediately after hearing of the news, and hopes to take him down once and for all. The Orochi from the same house is on her hit list as well, due to being a similar Animalistic Abomination.
As the goddess of the hunt and love/lust, she gets along with Artemis and Aphrodite. You can usually find her dealing with the many rodent pests of the pantheon, which has made Twitch's life a lot harder. As a goddess of health and medicine, she will work in the House of Health And Diseases.
A guardian of family and the home, and as such naturally appalled by the Child Abusers. She is also a goddess of music and will usually spend time in that House as well as the House of Beast.
Helps protect the sun along with her father, leading her to oppose those who wish to take out the sun.
Nibbler was incredibly suspicious upon her ascension, claiming that she was part of the cats' plans to take over the world. She finds his accusations annoying, as in most realities felines aren't part of any evil conspiracy. Nibbler remains suspicious of her.
Muhammad Avdol looked at her funny upon her ascension, due to having to face a Stand by the name of Bastet. Said Stand was an electrical outlet that used magnetic attraction against the user's enemies, which got a good laugh out of her when it put him and Joseph Joestar in a compromising position. Doesn't get why its power is magnetism, but does think the user was appropriate enough.
Along with her consort and father, she's joined the battle of the gods as an Assassin class. To her irritation she sounds like Yuu, though she appreciates the fact the Cat Girl Blair shares her voice. Doesn't like it when Aladdin and friends mistook her for Mirage, who she considers "a sadistic lunatic little better than Apophis".
One day many feline beings called a complain for certain god called Geralt of Rivia. When she met with Geralt she herself found a great urge to hiss at him and she doesn't know why. He explained that there is no reason why cats hate Witchers, they just do and it's something he got use to. As such Bastet made a rule to all feline that when it comes to the Witcher Geralt of Rivia to only report genuine trouble besides a sudden urge to hiss.
She finds the "Black cats represent bad luck" thing annoying and very amusing, because in Egypt black cats represent GOOD luck. Ironically, white cats represent bad luck for her.

The Koopa Troopas, Mini-Gods of Shell-Optional Turtles

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/koopa_troopa.png

Your average Koopa

House: Reptiles (House of Beasts)
Quasideities on average
Symbol: A red, empty turtle shell
Alignment: Depends on the Koopa, but most are Lawful Evil
Portfolio: Turtle Power, Basic Enemies, Anthropomorphic Shift, The Dry Bones And Super Koopas, Adorable Evil Minions, Mascot Mook, Shells As Clothing
Domains: Turtles, Mooks, Armies
Followers: Toby Tortoise, Crystal Snail, Filbert the Turtle
Superiors: Bowser, Bowser Jr, The Koopalings
Allies: Goombas, Blooper, Bob-Omb, Lakitu and Spiny, Petey Pirahna, Wreck-It Ralph
Enemies: The Toads, Fawful, Dimentio, Shredder, Brock Samson, The Scout
Friendly Enemy to: The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
Opposes: Mario and Luigi, Princess Peach, Daisy and Yoshi
The Koopa King may be mighty, but he still needs plenty of grunts to do his dirty work. One of the most iconic mooks to trouble the Mushroom Kingdom are the Koopa Troopas; small, amiable turtles who've troubled Mario and Luigi since their plumber days as the Shellcreepers. Bowser felt it only fair that his oldest, loyal group of minions would join him in the Trope Pantheon.
Most turtles and tortoises die if their shell is removed, given it acts as part of their ribcage. Not the Koopas; to them their shells are simply armor. Some Koopas remove it to fly around, and their shells can be used as projectiles. When swallowed by Yoshi, different shells have different effects such as temporary fire breath or flight. There are a few subsets of Koopa who don't take off their shell, but they're in the minority.
Often seen with Bowser, however that doesn't mean they're all evil. There have been many a heroic Koopa who care not for the reptilian overlord, such as Koopa the Quick, Koops. Even those under Bowser's thumb are pretty sociable off the clock. However it's the rank and file Koopa which is most well known, and serve as the Mini-Gods in question.
Their name is derived from "kuppa", the Japanese word for the Korean dish Guk. It's unknown how they feel about the meal itself.
Generally defeated by being stepped on, though a few types of them won't fall for that. As such, they fear The Scout for his jumping ability. And like all mooks, they fear the utter slaughter Brock Samson might inflict on them.
They tend to gravitate towards Wreck-It Ralph due to sharing similarities to their own master. It helps that Ralph's a Punch-Clock Villain. Koopa Troopas can sometimes be found as enemies in "Fix It Felix Jr".
Initially desired to position of Turtle Power, likely as part of large scheme on Bowser's end. However the Teenage Mutant Ninja turtles had taken the spot, leading to a feud. Still, your average Koopa Troopa does respect their turtle brethren. They'll easily team up against the Shredder, who detests them along with turtles as a whole.
Though generally quasideities, there are some demigod Koopas; notably the Magikoopas, Dry Bones, Super Koopas and Hammer Bros. Upon the Koopa Troopas' general ascension, they've been seen pestering the Houses of Magic, Undead, Power and Weapons respectively.
One of their kind has been seen working with a Goomba as part of a flash animation on Newgrounds.
Serves as the peer to the Goombas, who serve the role of basic, introductory enemies. Surprisingly Wiz and Boomstick decided the two were worthy for a Death Battle. They both lost.

Phew......been a long while since I posted on this board, but........

Where would Swain go in the Pantheon, out of curiosity?

edit: I have drafts that have never been edited in a while, in case anyone is wondering. One is for Acquired Situational Narcissism, for whom I used Ar-Pharazon (The Silmarillion character). Anyone else have a counter-suggestion for this trope (n.b.: I was initially gonna find a trope related to usurping a kingdom and have that be his position)?

Known as a heretic in the world of the Protoss, Alarak would betray his brothers to worship Amon, a Xel'naga who told them that he was their creator from the start. This would lead to the creation of thr Tal'darim, the "heretic" faction of the Protoss. For their kind, it has a Might Makes Right mentality, where the strongest are the leaders. He rose, until he was tied as most powerful with Ma'lash. However, when he heard of Amon's true motives and the lies of promise he said, this lead him to resign and ally with Artanis, with the later time allowing him to retake the Tal'darim by killing Ma'lash and taking his positon after the battle. This, along with his expertise in combat plus strategy, gave him a good position in the Pantheon.
His arrival on the Pantheon has made Artanis proud, with him claiming that with (most) of the Protoss leaders and representatives intact, the race can finally be preserved and in peace. Alarak then questioned how long would this "peace" would be kept up. This made Artanis silent, with Alarak responding this:
Alarak: So much for this peace anyway, back to fighting for us.
- Ironically enough, he questions the existence of the Main House and the Pantheon as a whole, giving this message as his opinion on its servitude.
Alarak: "The Pantheon. A conflux of time and space where characters and worlds come together. Sounds like an underwhelming crossover if you ask me. I mean, are you people even trying anymore?"
With his extremist views, he feels no sympathy for any race, as he sees his Tal'darim being the superior warriors of the galaxy and not just the Protoss in general. This is why he highly disregards humans in every way. Just ask Jim Raynor during their first meeting.
- However, he has some "personal" meetings with Nova Terra seeing her as a valuble asset against a certain threat known as the Defenders of Man, even moreso on his "experiment" on the so-called Terrazine element. So far, he's still patiently waiting for the next test of events.
  - In which he was dissapointed and angered; just as Nova arrested the leader of the coalition, Carolina Davis, he planned to destroy her and the Defenders of Man for good, only for her and Valerian engage immediately resulting in huge casualties for the Tal'darim. This has permanently eliminated any good relations whatsoever with the Terran dominion.
- Same goes to the Zerg, the race that he has been fighting for centuries. While Sarah may have switched into the side of good along with Zargara and Alexei, he still doesn't care. So long as one is a zerg, then he'll consider them at watch.
His race is known for having huge fights against each other, that most people would think of such as completely immoral. One can argue that the Tal'darim are similar to the Orks (minus the unethical language and tech), with Alarak being compared to Warboss Ghazghkull among all people.
Ghazghkull: Oy, ain't you a tough xeno now ar ya? Let's go for a fist fite, grot!
Alarak: *sigh*. This day just keeps getting better and better.
- On the other hand, the Emperor has commented that him and his race are oddly similar to the Dark Eldar. This comment made him completely baffled considering that he compared a race filled with strong, fighting warriors to lustful, culturistic-driven xenos.
Apparently, his views on his other Protoss bretheren are more or less negative, either too boring or underwhelming in his one eyes. For instance, he finds Tassadar's position as Saviour of the Templar to be pretty dissapointing on his eyes. He sees his sacrifice to be pitiful, stating that real protoss are supposed to fight and live another day, rather than being sacrificial lambs.
Alarak: You know, I'm starting to wonder if your sacrifice introduced us to being suicidal Protoss.
- On the other hand, Zeratul for him is nothing more than a word-reading templar since his opinions on the Templar nowadays are rather negative for that matter. His main concern for templars like him, attempting to bore him to death with words.
Alarak: A Templar? I see. Perhaps you can talk our enemy to death.
If you haven't noticed it by now, he's a big dick. Almost all the time, he either berates anyone for even the tiniest of failures or constantly mocks the person who did the least amount of effort on the battle. Worse, once he loses and he retreats, he blames everyone for their loss.
Alarak: I must leave, and I blame this failure upon you.
- He's also a sadist by the way, for if one ally near him would perish, his sadism increases and gives him a battle boost. For this, plus the huge dick attitude of his, made him have less allies compared to his other Protoss bretheren.
- This however landed him into the ranks of the Itazura Griefers, with special thanks to Lambdadelta who introduced and instated him into the group. She finds his his trollish attitude worth the invitation and would help in terms of new trolling sessions with the rest. That said, he is still the most unlikeable member of the entire roster.
- On the other hand, this got him also recruited into the GUAC for his mighty philosophy with his race. Lucifer has taken consideration to make Alarak their commander for the Morningstar Battalion, as he sees his fighting prowess and strategical expereince to be worth the invite. He has accepted it but on one condition: he gets to challenge a whole bunch of his army for his amusement.
With his encounter with Amon, he has no tolerance to any Abusive Precursors around the Pantheon, regardless of their agendas. Among those on top of his list, the Combine is on the highest of his kill list. So far as to team up with Gordon Freeman, and by extension, the Vortiguants to extinguish the menance. However, if anything goes wrong, he's going to abandon both parties unless he gathers a backup plan. The only thing thats giving him his worries is Amon's inevitable ascension.
For some reason, he gets a weird feeling everytime he's around Discord. The wyrm also has a weird connection with him too. Maybe it has something to do with either their attitudes or their voices. Then theres also the fact that, one of his attacks is named "Discord Strike".
Just as he was searching for worthy opponents, he found one by the name of Verod Rath. Impressed by his fighting style, huge arsenal of swords and affinity with the red and black color, he finds him to be the true worthy opponent. He also likes the fact that both of them are Blood Knights.
Alarak: Face me, Jennerit Warrior! Your presence enlightens my prowess.
- He also got into a heavy fight with Megatron after hearing of his mindset being similar to his race's own. Sadly, it almost ended badly for him, since he didn't hurt the Decepticon that easily, and that he would have almost squashed him, if it was not for the intervention of his fellow Protoss bretheren.
