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:
    • The very first thing any contributor should do before working on an idea or a profile is to propose and nominate the idea on the Trope Pantheons discussion thread. In the forums, you must discuss with other users on adding ideas and seek their approval with sound reasoning, a paragraph of reasoning to justify taking a trope should be sufficient. 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. You can also get some assistance in the forum thread by either asking for help and those interested asking if they can help. Attempting to work on ideas without a nomination and at least one net thumbs-up will not be accepted regardless of how much you have written already. 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    • If you feel the need to remove a character for some reason (poor quality, outdated titles, etcetera) and replace him/her with another or outright rework, please see what the other tropers think about this in the discussion thread before doing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. For reworks in particular, nominate the idea as you would with new characters or profiles. 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.
      • 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, either in the Pantheon or the Sandbox sections.
    • 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 creativity to create hypothetical scenarios towards fictional characters. Some real-life individuals, including content creators (fictional content created by them is still fair-game, but do not bring up the creators themselves in such cases), may be considered disqualified for profiles due to controversies that would make them concern the Rule of Cautious Editing Judgment. To determine where a current creator would be disqualified:
      • Wait for at least a month after the latest significant update for a creator's controversy before any decision can be made. If a confirmation from the questioned creator (or associates) themselves occurs, then wait for a week.
      • Immediate disqualification for either a guilty sentence in a significant court case against the creator, or evidence of consistently repeated, deliberate, and/or intentionally provocative hate speech and advocacy of dehumanizing perspectives, with lesser examples warranting caution instead.
      • For creators with a clear persona of their character disclosed before any scandal, the persona can have a profile with no mentioning of their real-life information. Ambiguous existence of a persona would have to be discussed further hand for anything more decisive.
    • For obvious reasons, gods cannot be followers, high priests, or heralds. 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 Expansion, 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 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 one flavor 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 to look like Character Shilling.
    • Every troper new to the Pantheon is barred from approving or downvoting profiles until they have ascended at least two profiles, this means avoiding the usage of "[tup]" or "[tdown]".
    • 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 the 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. After all, no one is responding to their idea.
    • You can also adopt a profile or idea to work on from another contributor by messaging a request to them (preferably through private messages). Even if you get their permission, you still have to announce your adoption to the forum. Note that if the idea wasn't nominated in the first place you still have to properly nominate it.
  • 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 note in a trope example that the character is a God of this trope, do not do it. If you see leftovers of this practice, correct the situation by deleting the offending text. This goes for any non-Pantheon 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 Pantheon.Good And Evil Colors.
    • Do not bring things that would incite fights; hot topics and 'urgent' news are not pertinent to the Pantheon's mission. For example, the political scene and some really bad politicians. We are not here to fight each other, so don't suggest things that go in 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:
  • When writing a profile for a character, here are a few things to note:
    • Please refer to Text Formatting Rules when writing a profile, since understanding how to make and edit site pages in general is a necessity for working on profiles or other Pantheon content. Additionally, if you are not experienced with English, refer to this forum page, as proper English spelling and grammar is expected.
    • 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 another House as well. Up to 2 places can be made for a deity at most.
    • 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 of their series' official soundtracks from the 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 highlight 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 it 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 many bytes, it is suggestible to use this site to reduce the byte size. If the byte is still too big, run the compressed image through other sites (or even the same one) to compress even further. Use wikis to look for better images, as even wikis 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 make 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. 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 an expectation to build the profiles off interactions from fictional portrays rather than basing it entirely 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 where trope-less profiles 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 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.
    • Do not write in self-promotion or blatant advertising. Minor references to something are fine but writing that clearly intends to advertise something will not be given toleration.
  • 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 on 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 Warper deities 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 Warper deities 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 Warper beings 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: Badass Normal citizens of the pantheon, making up for their lower status 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/Goddess/Deity 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 the 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 alignments to characters that don't have an 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 the deity would be unavailable, incapacitated, dead, or otherwise incapable of carrying out their duties. 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 from their perspective 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 oppose or are opposed by (basically the opposite of "Respects", "On Good Terms With", and/or "Commonality Connection") in 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.
      • OPTIONAL NOTE FOR CHARACTER RELATIONSHIPS: Should the list for Character relationships (IE. Allies, Enemies, etc.) become too big, categorize a certain number of characters to a specific group putting them on a sublist (One example: Luigi is from the same world as his brother Mario, hence Luigi should be fall under the Super Mario Bros sublist.)
  • 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 is 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 of 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 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 to 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 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 to 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 more.
    • Note: Standard amount of flavor text for Treasures is 7 at minimum to 12 at maximum.

What would Vincent think about those in harems? Any cheaters? You know, ironically, Minato and Yu can form a harem in their games and it was the same company that made Catherine.

Also, any sheeps?

Vincent Brooks, The God Who Climbs To Survive (Man Drinking Alone)

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Vincent_Brooks_1731.png
  • Quasideity (Demigod in his Nightmares)
  • Symbol: Pillow and pink polka-dot boxer
  • Theme Song: Also Sprach Brooks
  • Alignment: True Neutral (remains so or shifts to Neutral Good in the Neutral/Freedom Ending, shifts to Lawful Good at the Commitment Ending, and shifts to Chaotic Neutral/Chaotic Evil at the Cheater Ending)
  • Portfolio: The Everyman, Wears Underwear in His Nightmare, Jaw Drops Much of His Life, Determined to Survive in his Nightmare, Choice of Commitment or Freedom, Terrible Liar, Nice Guy, Grew a Spine, Large Ham, Helping Others With The Same Struggle As He, Happily Married (potentially)
  • Domains: Climbing, Survival, Relationship
  • 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.
  • Allies: Members of the Pantheon that are allies.
  • Rivals: Members of the Pantheon that are rivals.
  • Enemies: Members of the Pantheon that are foes.
  • Cautious Around: All succubi in general
  • Vincent Brooks is a thirty-two year old still in a relation with his girlfriend Katherine McBride but was too indecisive in regards to marriage. When the enigmatic beauty named Catherine appeared in his life, everything is dragged into a nightmare. Literally, he is trapped in a nightmare where he must climb to the top in order to survive or else he will die in the real world.
  • Due to the nature of Multiple Endings, this Vincent is one of nine potential versions of his future, selected by an unidentified deity. In four of them, he doesn't get either the succubus Catherine or his old girlfriend Katherine McBride, two where it's by his own choice, two in where the girl he chose turns him down but he is now free to get his life back on track. In two, he lives in the Netherworld with Catherine, and in one of those, he takes it over from her father. In two others, he makes it up to Katherine and they marry. And in one, he hooks up with Trisha, the Midnight Venus. The Vincent that came is the one where he doesn't pick either girl and pursues his dreams of space tourism, after which he was invited to the Pantheon.
  • Having confronted his Shadow back in his nightmares before, Vincent decided doing so again in the TV World wouldn't be a bad idea. Getting a Persona out of the deal seems to be pretty sweet.
    • He recognized Minato Arisato as that kid he met in the Club Escapade. When they first met, he told him that he'll have nothing to do with Minato's problems. Now, he thought that he was the only one who has problem at night.
  • Even though she sees potential in him, Kyu decided to respectfully back off from taking him in as a client. With what he's been through, he's probably not ready. It doesn't help that in some of his endings, he's already happily married, and it's not in her rules to go after such people.
  • Princess Cadance pities him for the hell he had to endure, and plans to tear Thomas Mutton a new one for putting him and many others through such trying ordeal, even if it's to continue population growth by weeding out cheaters.
  • He meets with those experienced with tarot cards who tells him about how his trials were similar to the story of the Lovers Arcana. He was put on a crossroad where he choose either a young romantic woman who represents Catherine or an older wise woman who represents Katherine. Of course, he could take another path if he wanted to and he took it.
  • He doesn't want to get involved with high school students but he feel very uncomfortable when speaking with Yukari Takeba and Rise Kujikawa since the two sound too much like both K/Catherine so it can be both confusing and disturbing. Ironically, both of the girls are of the Lovers Arcana.
  • He doesn't appreciate Makoto Ikou for actively cheating on people, in which he was very nervous and even frightened of the love triangle he got himself into. Though he isn't old enough, he hoped that he doesn't have to suffer through the same thing he faced in his nightmares.

I think I got enough votes for Marvy times ago? I can't recall. I think I got the approval anyway.

I also decided that Mr. Match just isn't working, and deleted him from my sandbox. This opens up Heel–Face Revolving Door.

Speaking of Valkyrie Drive, I remembered discussing on giving Meifeng Fake Boobs. I wonder if I should go ahead with that idea.

Again, I got ignored. Anyway, I realized Meliodas uses black flame too. Are there people who possess black-ish flame or those who are protective about there home places. Also, I don't know how to make the flavor text of Celestia.

@whirl. I meant for suggestions. Sorry, I just needed some suggestions with other deities in the Pantheon.

  • Domains: Ice, Fire, Paintings, Preservation
  • Herald: Sir Vilhelm and the Corvian Knights
  • Allies:
  • Teeth-Clenched Teamwork with: False King Allant, Pontiff Sulyvahn
  • Rivals: Margaret Moonlight, Maka Albarn, Ruby Rose, Xul, Kirika Akatsuki, Shiki
  • Commonality Connection with: Lady Maria of the Astral Clocktower, Kabal, Sigurd, Celestia Ludenberg
  • Enemies: Lord Gwyn (also counts as Evil Counterpart), The Chosen Undead/Bearer of the Curse, Meliodas
  • Opposes: Any fire-related deity around the Pantheon, especially Ragnaros the Firelord
  • Unknown connection with: Manus, Father of the Abyss
  • Just as the House of Craft where gathering new pictures, one "picture" was found in the entrance: a rotting brownish piece of what it looks like a remnant of an old painting. But as deities closely examined the paper, many got sucked into an unknown world. Said world was a winter landscape, filled with snow-covered buildings. After which, they are greeted by a woman in white, telling them to return back to their world. With the warning, they returned, but not before they sent chosen deities to investigate the place further. Solaire and the Chosen Undead were picked and looked further about this mysterious world.
    • As they went further around the place, they met the woman, but this time she was more valiant about her words. The two continued and realized something about the place they have been looking at: its a Painted World, a world reflected by the image it represents. Then, they also met a person with black feathers, who was revealed to be the father of the painting. The two were suddenly attacked by the same woman they crossed with. They escaped, but after the encounter, the Chosen Undead knew something about the two, in which his follower, the Ashen One, knew of. Sister Friede and Father Ariandel has ascended and returned in the ranks of the Pantheon.
  • The history between the both of them and the Painted World of Ariandel are kinda mixed. A long time, Ariandel (the huge crow looking one) painted a world in order to create a world for the corvians and forlorn souls. As time passed, an unkindled one, Elfriede, entered the painting and met with the father of the painting. Let's just say that Elfriede's entrance to the painting changed Ariandel's mindset (and by extension, the painting itself) for the worse.
  • Aside from the meeting with the Chosen Undead, several gods decided to fight and challenge her to the death. Almost all the people who tried to challenge them were shocked that as they reached the arena, they thought Ariandel was going to be fought, but Friede shows up. As the fight continued, things got worse when Ariandel stepped in, revived her, and fought alongside her for a second rematch. And as if things got to its worst level, Friede revives, but this time possessing dark pyromancy. This gave them the position of Bait-and-Switch Boss with ease.
  • Being another scythe user, she has gained a number of rivalries using the same weapons. Ruby Rose especially has been eager to challenge her but has been warned by her allies about her skill and her last form, Blackflame Friede, being too much compared to her skill level. Shiki and Xul are in waiting for a challenge, Margaret being interested in recruiting her and Kirika studying her powers.
    • Maka on the other hand has been observing her powers. After a few observations, her studies are clear about the dark pyromancy Friede possesses: its powered with the impenetrable fires of humanity. Since Maka's domain is related with souls, she fears on the effects of dark pyromancy while fighting against her.
  • Meliodas rather feels uneasy towards Friede, seeing her possession of blackflame to be similar with his dark flame. Though, the first time they met, Friede immediately took him down and shooed him away from the Painted World. He's also not happy upon hearing her atrocities inside the Painting.
  • Just as they ascended, Gwyn was entirely furious upon their ascension. He has bad feelings about Ariandel for painting their world with the dark soul of man. As for Friede, its a different story. For instance, she despises flame but is actually an unkindled one. Second, she embraces rot and the abyss and third, her methods are almost the same as his actions (her objective to preserve the Painted World and his want of prelonging the Age of Fire). Problem is, her way of preserving the painting is by forcing Ariandel to whip himself constantly, compare it to the former who decided to put himself among the flame. The last one placed her on his next list of slaying.
  • As you may already know, both of them really do hate the presence of fire in their painting. Fire is the very last thing they want the painting to gain, merely because it gives rebirth to the painting, by burning the last civilization living on it. This includes her, Ariandel and her efforts. Of course, since the painting will inevitably die at some point, she chose to let it rot rather than give it a new name. Unfortunately for her, the myriad amount of deities related with fire are vastly huge. That doesn't mean that can't kill any of them with ease.
    • This is why she's on somewhat good terms with Kano and Sigurd. Both deities had a bad experience with fire in their universes, with Kano's case being the reason why his face was burned and Sigurd because he had a terrible time with BBQ parties. They also understand her cause (albeit), since fire would doom the Painted World, but they believe that something else could be done aside from utilizing rot as a delaying solution.
    • Has vehemently opposed Ragnaros among all the fire-related deities since he is the personification of fire itself. Doesn't help that he's eyeing on her powers, especially her dark pyromancy powers.
    Ragnaros: TELL ME INSECT, WHAT FLAME IS THIS YOU HAVE?
    • To counter the many flame-oriented gods around the Pantheon, she decided to ally herself with Boletaria's ruler King Allant to gather herself some Soul Arts for herself. Apparently, his interest for her stems to her hatred for Gwyn himself, which is also his objective. And thats not the case as she also allied herself with Pontiff Sulyvahn to create an alliance against the Old King. Though unlike the former, she has a problem with Sulyvahn, due to having a Lord of Cinder on his possession. However, what they don't know is that Friede is only using their powers for her keep to defend the Painted World. She also considers them highly dangerous, meaning if they'll threaten the painting, all alliances are off.
  • Oddly enough, she has a connection with the Father of the Abyss himself, Manus. Though there may be more to it such as possessing Dark Pyromancy, which is exclusive to only those who reside among the Abyss, unless she got hold of Karla that is.

Here are some ideas for the treasury. Which do you think I should take?

  • Treasures(need permission)
    • The Iron Throne
      • Reasoning: Arguably one of the most important objects in Westeros as its what everyone who's not dealing with the White Walkers is fighting about
    • The Stone Mask
      • Reasoning: We do have the Stand Arrows, and it is equal or greater narrative importance in the overall story due to setting up Dio's rise and being an important part with the Pillar Men
    • Evergreen's Crown
      • Note: Is it OK that the Ice King's crown also gets to be part of Dominions?

"That doesn't mean that can't kill any of them with ease."

I smell shilling. Dark Souls is actually a fairly weak series in terms of power level. Just because they're a difficult boss battle doesn't mean they're actually dangerous to the deities with fire powers.

Questions about the following ranks from human characters in Pokémon:

  • Ghetsis, N and AZ as Intermediate Gods. Most other humans in the setting are Lesser Gods. Ghetsis, I intend to demote, AZ might qualify with his age and history, N as far as I can tell Intermediate due to his team, but if so, couldn't any god be of higher rank if they had powerful friends? Also, N's title ([[TheWoobie Horrifically]] [[AbusiveParents Abused Children]]) could stand an overhaul, or at least cut to The Woobie.
  • Lysandre: why is he a Demigod while Cyrus (who he is most similar to) is a Lesser.

@TPPR: Just nothing, except if I have some commitment to do with my personal life, btw the reason of what I'm doing on the Ghost Kamen Riders is to avoid having their profiles rework as stated before because of the V-Cinema sequel that would come out by next year. I can still work on them, but I'm not going to ascend them yet until I watch the V-Cinema sequel once its release. What do you think?

Vincent Brooks, The God Who Climbs To Survive (Man Drinking Alone, The Man of Legends)

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Vincent_Brooks_1731.png
  • Quasideity (Demigod in his Nightmares)
  • Symbol: Pillow and pink polka-dot boxer
  • Theme Song: Also Sprach Brooks
  • Alignment: True Neutral (remains so or shifts to Neutral Good in the Neutral/Freedom Ending, shifts to Lawful Good at the Commitment Ending, and shifts to Chaotic Neutral/Chaotic Evil at the Cheater Ending)
  • Portfolio: The Everyman, Wears Underwear in His Nightmare, Jaw Drops Much of His Life, Determined to Survive in his Nightmare, Choice of Commitment or Freedom, Terrible Liar, Nice Guy, Grew a Spine, Large Ham, Helping Others With The Same Struggle As He, Happily Married (potentially)
  • Domains: Climbing, Survival, Relationship
  • 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.
  • Allies: Members of the Pantheon that are allies.
  • Rivals: Members of the Pantheon that are rivals.
  • Enemies: Members of the Pantheon that are foes.
  • Cautious Around: All succubi in general
  • Vincent Brooks is a thirty-two year old still in a relation with his girlfriend Katherine McBride but was too indecisive in regards to marriage. When the enigmatic beauty named Catherine appeared in his life, everything is dragged into a nightmare. Literally, he is trapped in a nightmare where he must climb to the top in order to survive or else he will die in the real world.
  • Due to the nature of Multiple Endings, this Vincent is one of nine potential versions of his future, selected by an unidentified deity. In four of them, he doesn't get either the succubus Catherine or his old girlfriend Katherine McBride, two where it's by his own choice, two in where the girl he chose turns him down but he is now free to get his life back on track. In two, he lives in the Netherworld with Catherine, and in one of those, he takes it over from her father. In two others, he makes it up to Katherine and they marry. The Vincent that came is the one where he doesn't pick either girl and pursues his dreams of space tourism, after which he was invited to the Pantheon.
  • Having confronted his Shadow back in his nightmares before, Vincent decided doing so again in the TV World wouldn't be a bad idea. Getting a Persona out of the deal seems to be pretty sweet.
    • He recognized Minato Arisato as that kid he met in the Club Escapade. When they first met, he told him that he'll have nothing to do with Minato's problems. Now, he thought that he was the only one who has problem at night.
  • Even though she sees potential in him, Kyu decided to respectfully back off from taking him in as a client. With what he's been through, he's probably not ready. It doesn't help that in some of his endings, he's already happily married, and it's not in her rules to go after such people.
  • Princess Cadance pities him for the hell he had to endure, and plans to tear Thomas Mutton a new one for putting him and many others through such trying ordeal, even if it's to continue population growth by weeding out cheaters.
  • He meets with those experienced with tarot cards who tells him about how his trials were similar to the story of the Lovers Arcana. He was put on a crossroad where he choose either a young romantic woman who represents Catherine or an older wise woman who represents Katherine. Of course, he could take another path if he wanted to and he took it.
  • He doesn't want to get involved with high school students but he feel very uncomfortable when speaking with Yukari Takeba and Rise Kujikawa since the two sound too much like both K/Catherine so it can be both confusing and disturbing. Ironically, both of the girls are of the Lovers Arcana.
  • He doesn't appreciate Makoto Ikou for actively cheating on people, in which he was very nervous and even frightened of the love triangle he got himself into. Though he isn't old enough, he hoped that he doesn't have to suffer through the same thing he faced in his nightmares.
  • Since he was seen as a sheep in his Nightmares, he ended up respecting Ampharos, a sheep(?) Pokémon, as he felt like he saw many sheep that didn't survive the Trials like the lamb for the slaughter.

On Momoka:

Yes, I know the whole thing about getting the Virus back is kinda BS. But on the other hand, we've bent the rules to the breaking point for ages in the Pantheon. I mean, we're talking about ascending someone who was in-canon extirpated from time and space, we have someone who was less a character than she was a law of nature before her bestie stabbed her in the back and made her human again, the Dazzlings somehow got their gems back, and so forth. Besides, for something like a Grand United Alliance it would be child's play to procure a sample for her.

Besides, I don't think Momo'd have much of an issue having her powers again. The whole thing about her powers making her a target for horrific experimentation is, what I think at least, got stuck in her craw.

[down][down] Ahhh...but is it the virus, or the fact they were tossed onto the island and exploited? The virus in and of itself is nothing but beneficial: it just brought a ton of pain down on them from outside forces. Getting rid of the virus is "good" because there was nothing to exploit anymore. That's like saying curing Mutants in X-Men would be 'good', and we had a whole movie about that can of worms.

[down][down][down] The thing is, there's a virus involved. Re-empowering could be done by a random dude with a syringe. But if there's really a problem, I'll bump her down to Quasideity with stuff in her profile about how she's trying to find a way to to face Mirei again.

@BSN. I'm not saying that since she is a hard boss, she is OMGWTF powerful, I'm just saying that she can handle herself pretty well and dangerous even by skill level. And yes I know DS isn't almighty powerful like the ranks of Warcraft or Final Fantasy, its just some individuals are really powerful in their own right.
