Trope Pantheons Discussion

Go To

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

    Rules 
Rules. The following are not suggestions or tips, but things that have to be followed:
  • When writing a profile, take note of the following:
    • Gods cannot be followers or high priests for obvious reasons. The 'gods' have ascended meaning there is no need for said character to be a follower of another if they have ascended.
    • No hype profiles, please. 'Hype Profiles' are profiles that have been made out of ongoing events and have not been around for a long time. This creates 'hype' due to popularity and certain elements either through certain scenes, memes, dramatic acting or considered overly awesome. They are not bad tropes but building a portfolio solely for that is a bad idea, as they do not say a thing about representing the trope best (unless it's those trope concepts that they are trying to embody for a long time)
      • You can see one if the profile is only showing off how awesome they are or suddenly pushing how 'significant' they are thanks to the just very recent events rather than respecting the longstanding good representations of the trope. And usually having... minimum portfolio or flavor texts and being a bit too generalized or self-contained to events from within their home series instead of interacting with other Pantheon members.
  • When posting in the forum, take note of the following:
    • When you suggest a God, please explain why they fit the trope. Not everyone is going to understand just "X should be the God of Y because they exemplify the trope" off the bat, especially if they're unfamiliar with the work.
    • You must use the Trope Pantheons discussion thread in the forums if you wish to add a new deity, story, something else of importance to the Trope Pantheon canon, or reworking an existing deity (be it simply improving their existing profile or changing their title).
      • For new and reworked deities, 3 [tup] means the profile will have a one week waiting period.
      • For new and reworked deities, 4 [tup] is a 3 day waiting period.
      • 5 [tup] is an automatic ascension for new and reworked deities.
      • Speaking of reworks, for anyone that wants to improve such profiles, they have to review the current trope the character(s) has and see if it still holds up or if there is a better rep for their trope.
    • For adding new Treasures to The Great Treasury or new Dominions to the Dominions, the following rules apply:
      • For new Treasures or Dominions, 3 [tup] is a 3 day waiting period.
      • 4 [tup] is an automatic addition to the Great Treasury or Dominions.
    • Do not repost a profile in the forums more than twice in a day if noticeable changes have not been made in between. If a profile is posted a third time in a row without noticeable alterations, it will be downvoted. This is so spamming of no-effort profiles is less frequent and to prevent tropers from getting aggravated seeing the same profile over and over. The minimum acceptable change has to be a single flavour text.
    • The Pantheon is not a mouthpiece for you to voice your opinions on certain characters. You may like certain characters more than others, but do not make the mistake of making profiles for characters you like look like Character Shilling.
    • Tropers new to the Pantheon are barred from approving or downvoting profiles until they have ascended at least two profiles.
    • Do not include fan reception in any profiles. It has nothing to do with the character themselves and will create unnecessary conflict.
    • Write a detailed explanation on why the character is the best candidate for deity of that trope. If people disagree with you, do not force it on the people.
    • Keep in mind that if you still want to try to find a trope for a particular character, you are only given three chances to find a particular trope for them. If a suggestion goes past three possible tropes, then it will come off as shoehorning a character into the Pantheon just for the sake of that character to be there.
      • On a related note, even if a character does have a free trope being suggested, there is still a limit of three attempts for suggesting that character for that trope. If no one responds to that certain proposal after being posted three times, then it will get to the point where the idea will be seen as being shoehorned into the Pantheon. In addition, the idea needs to be considered acceptable and approved because they are good, not for the sake of pitying others because no one is responding to their idea.
  • When posting Pantheon related stuff to the wiki, take note of the following:
    • Do not put a link to these Pantheon pages into the main wiki page. The moment you want to add in a main Characters page that the character is a God of this trope, do not do it. If you see leftovers of this practice, inform the forum and use the cutlist. This also goes to the Trivia page. The only exception to this rule is if a page in the Pantheon could be confused for a page in Main, like Good Colors, Evil Colors and Good and Evil Colors.
    • Rule of Cautious Editing Judgment ALSO applies here. Do not bring things that would incite fights, even if it is what is currently the hot topic and might be 'urgent'. For example, the political scene and some really bad politicians. We are not here to fight at each other, so don't suggest things that go to that direction, this is a fictional Pantheon after all.
    • To add a Pantheon page for a certain work, 4 or more characters coming from the same series/franchise should be ascended before adding the page. For Creator specific pages, 4 deities coming from the same creator and 2 individual work pages coming from the same creator is the minimum to warrant a page.
    • Do not create a trope page for a story until the story is fully completed.

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

  • Preparing to write:
    • First thing to do before present a profile is to go to the Trope Pantheons discussion thread. In the forums, you must discuss with other users on adding ideas and seek their approval with sound reasoning. You can also get some assistance in the forum thread by either asking for help and those interested asking if they can help. Submissions that are added without discussion are likely to be deleted and those who violate those rules by adding Pantheon content without discussion will get reported to the mods.
    • If you feel the need to remove a character for some reason (poor quality, outdated titles, etcetera) and replace him/her with another or outright rework, please see what the other tropers think about this in the discussion thread before doing anything hasty. Use good reasoning to see if your idea can easily replace the character present without drawing out your statement or giving too ambiguous claims most do not understand.
    • Please be sure to consult others in the discussion about what you want to work before making the profile. This is done to see if your proposal is the best representative and so, in case your profile is turned down, you do not waste time writing something that others might not find suitable.
      • In the same vein, if you adopt a profile from another troper, it is recommended that you make an announcement that you have done so on the discussion thread. More often than not, a trope that was reserved for something was given away to someone else. Check the Related tab on the top of a page to see if a trope or character has been reserved by a user.
    • If, for whatever reason, you are writing about a God who just happens to be a person in real life, just try to be very careful about what you decide to say. Do not try to make the editing seem too meta (self-referential) and use the aformentioned creativity to create hypothetical scenarios towards fictional characters.
  • When writing a profile for a character, here are a few things to note:
    • All deities should be sorted by their divine ranking. Put Overdeities on the top of the page and Quasideities on the bottom. Also be sure to add them in alphabetical order by their first/given name (can be reversed if it is Eastern ordered). For a group, if there is no official name for them all list down all their names by order of relevance or (if too long to list) title them as Insert Name Here Main Characters or some other identifiable title along the same lines.
    • The maximum number of tropes that a god can have is two, but do not try to abuse that fact. If you need to use a second trope to specify a certain thing about their position, that can be excused either because said character represents their trope choice very well alongside the first trope. It is still generally encouraged to only have one trope.
    • A trope can only belong to one profile at a time. The only time two profiles can share a trope is if there are explicit variations listed in the trope page proper (e.g. Muscle Angst is held by both Biscuit Krueger and Chihiro Fujisaki as the former represents "Too Much Muscle" and the latter represents "Not Enough Muscle")
    • If the character you are about to add to a House already exists in another, make sure to mention that this person has spots in other House as well. Up to 2 places can be made for a deity, with the sole exceptions being those at the Main House to highlight those characters’ importance to the Pantheon’s lore.
    • For a character's theme song, try to avoid calling it "Theme of God X" or "Theme of (Show where God X originates from)". If possible, try to find out if the song has an actual name through research. Most importantly, it has to be part their series’ official soundtracks from media. Do not list songs that are made by fans or outside sources. If they were not specifically used as music for that specific character, then they do not count. Furthermore, it has to be a general theme specifically made for that characters’ appearances, not some generic music that plays for many other instances not related to the character in question.
    • For images, when adding an image for your chosen character, it is highly recommended to use a stylized image that embodies the character or renders that also highlights a character’s behavior (such as cool poses). Most images should be from the main adaptations of the character, unless the images from the other media are of a higher quality than the adaptation. Unless it is needed, do not use fanart for images. If you are, please attribute to the original artist. Due to the website’s dark mode, removing white backgrounds from an image is paramount. This website is suggested to do the background removal. If an image you have takes up too much bytes, it is suggestible to use this site to reduce the byte size. If the byte is still too big, put the compressed image to other sites (or even the same one) to compress even further. Use wikias to look for better images, as even wikias for the series might not contain good official images.
    • Creativity is your friend. While it is not recommended to get too ditzy at your ideas, it is best that when writing a profile for a certain character, do you think of capable scenarios between X and Y. Tip: do not use shallow examples (X wields a sword and Y wields one too) and try to think of relationships that makes sense (i.e those characters that are shout-outs for another).
  • Pantheon Content:
    • Some series or genres will eventually have greater representation in the Pantheon than others. This is unavoidable, but a little diversity helps to make you not look like a shill per say. Try to ensure that if you add a deity from a popular series, make sure that it is because they are a good representative for the trope in question, and not just because they are connected to another deity in their respective canon.
      • As far as deities from actual mythologies, there is generally expectation to build the profiles off interactions from fictional portrays rather than basing it entire from the actual myth. Therefore, a mythological deity should be more of a Composite Character whose main identity is from the actual myth.
    • Occasionally there will be Gods that carry a title without a trope. This is not forbidden, but it is well advised not to abuse them. The only house that a tropeless profile are wholly allowed is the House of Food. Mainly due to most food items lacking tropes, and adding tropes about said foodstuffs is slightly unnecessary. However, the character being ascended for their choice of a food, or food-related thing must be a decently good representative of said item. (i.e their Trademark Favorite Food, or something that they are closely associated with In-Universe, or both).
    • For Dominions and Treasures profiles, always consider what made those places/objects popular in the first place. Were they plot-important, identifiable imagery or have a unique aspect of it? Do not just bring regular objects under the basis of following a certain canon.
  • For Profile Standards:
    • Flavor text is used to describe certain things about a character, place or object. To avoid short ones, it is recommended to write flavor text with 4-7 sentences that can fill around 2 lines each. Be warned that adding too many sentences does not equal good flavor text as it is not an essay of sorts (unless words are substantial and do add to the overall line).
    • Character Profiles of a certain person should have the following:
      • A portfolio that contains at least 7 (at the minimum) tropes describing their character.
      • Flavor text count for a deity profile should have by minimum, 10 (depending if the character in question has enough relationships/characterization) to 15 with a maximum of 20-25 for an individual profile.
      • On the other hand, group profiles (profiles of a group that has 4 or more members) have their maximum flavor text count to 15 minimum, giving individual lines for the other members of the group (unless the members are not as characterized) up to 30 at max.
    • Dominion profiles of a certain place should have the following:
      • A portfolio that contains at least 5 (at the minimum) tropes describing the context of the place.
      • Flavor text count should range at least 10 to 15.
    • Treasure profiles (inanimate objects without a trope) should have the following:
      • A portfolio that contains at least 6 (at the minimum) tropes that describes the object itself.
      • Flavor text count should be at least 7 flavor text up to 12 to constitute a treasure profile.

    Divine Ranking System 
  • Overdeity: Omnipotent-level Reality Warpers capable of manipulating the entire universe (or at least the world) at will. Within their own universe they are believed to be omnipotent, or at least impossible-to-completely-destroy embodiments or concepts.
  • Greater Gods: High-level Reality Warpers and that are extremely powerful (capable of destroying or changing anywhere from a large city to a planet at will) and very strong non-reality warpers capable of doing the same thing.
  • Intermediate Gods: Deities at this level are capable of strong but specialized powers such as hydrokinesis, pyrokinesis, etc. without major drawbacks and low level Reality Warpers capable of affecting their immediate area at will.
  • Lesser Gods: Capable of highly specific or little power on their own, or suffer from Power at a Price. However, they may be able to ruthlessly exploit their power or combine it with just being badass enough to make up for it.
  • Demigods: Basically the Badass Normals of the pantheon, making up for their lack of abilities with strength, strategy, and/or planning.
  • Quasideities: Any otherwise normal human, human equivalent, or below without any special powers or training will fall here.

    Templates 
Template for adding a new deity:

God X, God/dess of (Insert Trope Here) (Alternate names/Nicknames, Fan Nickname)

  • An image, if possible. Please use official art or a screenshot for a picture.
  • Rank: This can range from Quasideity, Demigod, Lesser God, Intermediate God, Greater God, to Overdeity, based on representation of power mentioned above.
  • Symbol: An image or icon used to represent the deity.
  • Theme Song: Official song (in other words, no fan music, regardless of quality) that usually is used in affiliation with the character. If the deity is a musician this will most likely be their Signature Song. If possible, give a link for reference, preferably on either a website like Soundcloud or YouTube.
  • Alignment: Good, evil, neutral etc. Forget about The Great Character Alignment Debate here, the Pantheon is one of the few places where you can assign Dungeons & Dragons alignment to characters that don't have alignment system. After all, the Pantheon is based on D&D and is made for fun.
  • For Pokémon deities only:
    • Gender: Defines the gender of the Pokémon; if genderless, it instead defines what gender they identify as.
    • Ability: Provides the Pokémon's ability. If they can Mega Evolve, the new ability is listed as well.
    • Moves: Defines the four moves used by a Pokémon. A Z-Move may also be listed.
  • Portfolio: Tropes associated with the character.
  • Domains: Things that the character has influence over.
  • Herald: Non-ascended loyal character that is from the same series as the ascended character.
  • High Priest: Non-ascended like heralds, but not from the same series, and can serve as a worthy replacement in case something would happen. They can be served as part-time workers in case the originals are busy with some jobs. Co-Godhood is accepted depending on the approval of the originals, usually if the co-deity is from the same series.
  • Followers: Non-ascended characters that are not part of the Pantheon, but would probably worship this character by the fact that they share the ascended character's trope.
  • Relationships between ascended characters go here with your chosen character, it goes something like this:
    • Allies: Members of the Pantheon that are allies, those that share the same values as them and would theoretically be friends with them.
    • Rivals: Members of the Pantheon that are rivals, people who may look at your character with suspicion or a challenge.
    • Enemies: Members of the Pantheon that are foes, those who would see your chosen character as a threat, either on their pespective or yours.
    • Additional Character Relationships: Members of the Pantheon that do not fit in various relationships (examples include Enemy Mine, Vitriolic Best Buds, Teeth-Clenched Teamwork, Headbutting Heroes, Friendly Enemy, Friendly Rival, Just Friends, etc.), allies, rivals, or enemies.
    • Partner: Defines a partnership with an ascended deity and Mon-type. (if any)
    • Feared by/Fears: A deity whom the members of the Pantheon notably fear or are feared by.
    • Respected by/Respects: A deity whom the members of the Pantheon respect or are respected by.
    • Opposed by/Opposes: Not necessarily the same as "Enemies", but this is used for any deity whom the members of the Pantheon directly opposes or is opposed by (basically the opposite of "Respects") terms of certain viewpoints, regardless of alignment.
    • Pitied by/Pities: A deity whom the members of the Pantheon feel pity for or are found pitiable by.
    • Conflicting Opinion: Sometimes, the Deities argue over specific themes and philosophies.
  • Add the Intro. The intro is made up of two trivia, the Ascension Text (or just the Ascension) and The Bio. Both are necessary, but which order you use for them may vary depending on the profile in question. It may be better for one profile to have The Bio first and the Ascension second or vice-versa, although for the most part the order is irrelevant:
    • The Ascension Text: This the story of how the character got into the Pantheon and/or was ascended. There are many ways for this to happen. They may be tricked into it or have simply wandered into the Pantheon, they may have had an already ascended character bring them in, they may already be in the Pantheon (via being another deity's Herald or sharing a trope) and got "promoted", or some combination of the above. Anything is possible in the Pantheon, so use your imagination, but try to incorporate their trope into the story, if possible.
    • The Bio: A brief synopsis on the character's backstory. No need for the character's entire life/production history, but just give enough that those who don't know the character can get an idea of how the character works.
  • Now add some random trivia/facts about events/alignments/moments/fights/friendships/relations etc.
  • And some more trivia/facts.
  • And a couple of more.
    • Note: Standard amount of flavor text for Deities/Characters is 10-15 (15-20 for group profiles) at minimum to 20-25 (30 for group profiles) at maximum.

Template for Dominions profiles:

Place X, Place of (Insert Trope Here) (Alternate names/Nicknames, Fan Nickname)

  • An image, if possible. Please use official art or a screenshot for a picture.
  • Theme Song (Optional): Not important as compared to Deity and Dominion profiles but a notable mention if there is an accompanying song in use with the object.
  • Alignment: Refers to the dominion's role in their story, be it those used by villains or used by the Player Character.
  • Portfolio: Tropes associated with the dominion.
  • Domains: Things that the place has links to.
  • Relationships (Optional): Unless the location has a connection with a specific deity, relationships are optional and may not be required. However, if there are deities linked to the same series as where the dominion is linked to, note them using the relationships, this includes deities that theoretically have interest with said dominion, good or evil otherwise.
  • Add the Intro. Here the introduction of the Dominion is added with some tidbits regarding the origins of its' creation and usage in the story. You can also add what made it popular/iconic/important here.
  • Now add some random trivia/facts about events/alignments/moments/fights/friendships/relations etc.
  • And some more trivia/facts.
  • And a couple of more.
    • Note: Standard amount of flavor text for Dominions is 10 at minimum to 15 at maximum.

Template for Treasure profiles:

The name of the item in here (Alternate names/Nicknames, Fan Nickname)

  • An image, if possible. Please use official art or a screenshot for a picture.
  • Appearance: A shortened description of the item's looks with some notable features also mentioned.
  • Class: Refer to the Treasure Classification System in the Great Treasury.
  • Alignment: Refers to the objects' role in their story, be it those used by villains or used by the Player Character.
  • Theme Song (Optional): Not important as compared to Deity and Dominion profiles but a notable mention if there is an accompanying song in use with the object.
  • Museum Check: A note that says whether the item is viewable by the public.
  • Portfolio: Tropes associated with the item.
  • Domains: Things that the item has links to.
  • Relationships (Optional): Unless the item has a connection with a specific deity, relationships are optional and may not be required. However, if there are deities linked to the same series as where the item is linked to (especially the original owner of the item), note them using the relationships, this includes deities that theoretically have interest with said object, good or evil otherwise.
  • Add the Intro. Here the introduction of the Treasure is added with some tidbits regarding the origins of its' creation and usage in the story. You can also add what made it popular/iconic/important here.
  • Now add some random trivia/facts about events/alignments/moments/fights/friendships/relations etc.
  • And some more trivia/facts.
  • And a couple of more.
    • Note: Standard amount of flavor text for Treasures is 7 at minimum to 12 at maximum.

@ Magnum,

You know, you make a good point with those two. I suggested Candle Cove because of personal bias, I mean, it's my favorite Creepypasta. But the more I think about it, it's kind of on the obscure side.

I second Ben: that's got some good lore behind it and is a lot more famous. Never read it myself, but I've been meaning too, I've heard some great things about it.

In any case, what House should the God of Creepypasta be in? Technology?

@ Mega-Dark

You've pretty much gotten a basic idea of Conception, then. The demo gives a pretty good rundown of what it's like: the meat is really in the dating sim elements, and those factor into the RPG portion, like your relationship with each heroine affects the Star Children you can make with them. The main game is more of the same: more heroines, more dungeons, more character development. But I feel the basic idea of making a family and bonding with a love interest in order to become stronger more covers the idea of a Battle Couple. I mean, Tsukune/Moka is kinda basic; what sets them apart from other battle couples?

[up]Point, the reason why I said that is because even though I have cloaked 5 hours into the demo (yeah that long) I still barely know the Wake and the girls on a surface level so I can't help with adding flavor if we decide to give Tskune and Moka the boot. And I'm trying my best not to spoil myself so there's that as well.

Also Cel Prev I just though of an Evil robot we could add to the Grand Alliance of Evil's Robot Division, if I can find a place to put him. Nineball Seraph.

Candle Cove is actually pretty famous. I've read it myself and it is a good pasta. I'd say Creepypasta is Narrative due to it being a type of story.

We could also use Slime Beast since he is widely considered one of the top tier Creepypasta authors.

List of the more famous pastas I've read/listened to (on youtube). Note: Mr. Creepy Pasta is one of the better readers

1. Ben Drowned

2. Abandoned by Disney

3. Room Zero

4. Suggestion Box (prequel to #2)

5. MARIO

6. Suicide Mouse

7. Candle Cove

8. Happy Appy

9. Squidward's Suicide (I SWEAR this guy is a When They Cry Fan due to some of the material eerily similar to a murder scenario in Tatagoroshi-hen)

10. Ed Edd and Eddy Episode 34

11. Axis Powers Hetallia Episode 23.5

12. Dead Bart.

13. Normal Porn for Normal People.com

14. Funny Mouth

15. NES Godzilla

16. Russian Sleep Experiment

If it's okay with you, I'd like to add Over The Gun as the god of Blind Playthroughs. I feel the idea of it is different enough to separate it from Let's Plays (Let's Plays usually have the player go in with a good idea of what they plan to do, and to show off the game, while a blind playthrough just involves getting a game, having no idea what's in store, and stumbling through it). Over The Gun specializes in this style of videos and is an example of one who does it well. It might just be me and his fans but he has plenty of personality to carry the commentary portion (which is pretty important, as it's one of the few things you can really fall back on with Blind Playthorughs). Of course, he's not without quite a few failures (his playthrough vids are given the title of 'How To Successfully Fail', after all), so if there's not someone already taking the position, he could also fit in as the God of Epic Fails (with the Nikita incident being a prime example of epic failures).

So... plausible?

Well the game was years ago and now he's playable in Persona 4 Arena Ultimax, so I think it's safe to say that Adachi isn't a spoiler anymore.

So one more time, can I write up Adachi as God of Villains Beneath Suspicion?

And did we ever come to a conclusion on Ike?

Yeah, I think that'll work. Where would Adachi go?

[up][up]

I said Tech because the fact a horror story started on the interwebz makes it a Creepypasta. Otherwise it's just a horror story. Maybe both?

Given the nature of his trope, I'd suggest Villains or Mentalism.

I think Mentalism, just due of the fact that we don't know if Adachi can be considered a villain at this point of the series.

Mosquito Man, since I know nothing about Persona 4, how would Adachi react to Yoshikage Kira, I want them to be allies but I want to know how they would interact.

So for pirates, we have Jack Sparrow as normal pirates, and Baldier as Sky Pirate...well we need a Space Pirate somhow, right?

So, we should get Captain Harlock as the God of Space Piracy considering his feats and everything (like forcing a machine to submit by making it drink milk). What do you guys think?

Camilla, it's spelt "Balthier". And regarding the Space Pirate issue, that's not a bad idea of a suggestion.

Also, we should consider ascending Clank to the pantheon. Ratchet's already in the Ranged And Explosive Weapons house, and one of his wishes is to ascend Clank as well. It would be nice to have a complete mascot duo in a house, considering their rivals Jak and Daxter are in, along with complete mascot trios Sly, Bentley and Murray, and Sora, Donald and Goofy.

Clank's trope is so obvious that it only requires a quick scan of his character page to determine. Clank, the Embodiment of Awesome Backpacks. FLUDD would be his High Priest.

Dr. Doom, I'm sorry but I don't know who that other person is. I'm not getting a resounding "no", here's a first draft for Adachi.

Since he has the same power as Yu Narukami for the most part, I figure they'd have the same rank of power.

Tohru Adachi, God of Criminals Beneath Suspicion

  • Theme Song: Long Way
  • Intermediate God (posing as a Demigod)
  • Symbol: A Lust tarot card (Thoth deck), or a corpse hanging from a phone pole
  • Alignment: Neutral Evil, may be True Neutral now
  • Portfolio: Hidden cruelty, Small Town Boredom, Manchild, Dirty Cop, The Slacker, similarity to the protagonist, Attempted Rape, befriending the protagonist
  • Domain: Crime, Murders, Emptiness, Hatred, Facades, Hunger/Lust
  • Allies: The Reaper, Yu Narukami, Gaston
  • Enemies: Yosuke Hanamura, Kanji Tatsumi, Chie Satonaka, Yukiko Amagi, Rise Kujikawa, Naoto Shirogane, Teddie, Uncle
  • Followers: Professor Quirrell
  • For nearly a year, a serial murder case in the rural Japanese town of Inaba had gone largely unsolved, until one day Yu Narukami and his friends eliminated all suspects but Tohru Adachi, who accidentally revealed himself under pressure. Despite shooting himself in the foot, the GUAE were impressed at how long he'd been able to hide in plain sight, and especially impressed when they heard how he'd managed to manipulate the murder case as it happened. This lead to Adachi's ascension.
  • The Investigation Team (except maybe Yu) were not happy with Adachi's ascension, Yosuke least of all. But Adachi hasn't tried anything since ascending and just lounges around, claiming he'll play by the Pantheon's rules for now. Those in the House of Justice consider him a model criminal.
  • Has something of a vitriolic friendship with Yu Narukami, thanks to their Social Link together. Adachi considers Narukami to be a stupid, pesky child, but fondly remembers the times they've spent together, and even gave him a clue to find the true mastermind behind their battle.
  • Gaston feels sympathy for Adachi, knowing what it's like to be abandoned by the woman he "deserved". As such, he frequently invites Adachi to drink with him. Adachi thinks Gaston is an idiot, but won't turn down a free drink.
  • Adachi occasionally interrupts conversations and changes the subject to murders. ("Yaaay!")
  • Despite being in the House of Crime, Adachi is normally found in the House of Food, finding supper for himself. While here, he's usually bothered by Uncle Chan yelling at him to go back and watch the shop, followed by a finger slap to the forehead. Adachi's tried telling Uncle that he must be thinking of a different Tohru, but it hasn't worked.
  • Has been permanently banned from the House of Love due to his notorious lust. Most goddesses in the Pantheon also tend to avoid him.
  • Contrary to popular belief, cabbages are not accepted tribute at his temple.
  • Don't mistake his complacence for a lack of danger. Should he find himself in a fight, he'll summon his own Persona, Magatsu-Izanagi, and let loose.

And meanwhile, I am trying to fulfill that one suggestion about The Butcher God. To be put in profession.

Pudge, God of Butchers (The Butcher)

  • Lesser God
  • Symbol: His Meat Hook in front of several meats in display. Human meats.
  • Alignment: Chaotic Evil
  • Portfolio: The Butcher Of Men, Pulling People In With His Meat Hook, Dead Fat Bastard, Damaging Self When Casting Something To The Point Of Suicide, Yelling Loud "FRESH MEATS!!!", Visceral Bad Guys, 'Australian' Accent.
  • Domains: Axes, Combat, War
  • Allies: Axe, Lesale Deathbringer, Medusa, Scorpion
  • Rivals: The Champions of Runeterra.
  • All was well in the Pantheon when suddenly there's someone pulling Kenny McCormick got caught in a meat hook and was heard screaming of being cleaved. Whatever attempts of people trying to yell "Oh my God, they killed Kenny!" "You bastard!" was drowned with the scream "HA HA!! FRESH MEAT!!". Though the Radiants knew that Kenny would be okay, they know this can only mean one thing: Pudge the Butcher has entered the Pantheon and the Dires has gotten themselves one more member in the divine Pantheon.
  • The fatter Pudge gets, the more dangerous and sturdy he becomes. Where do you think those fats came from? It's from any beings he butchered and consumed himself.
  • Despite his job, he's still pretty okay with butchering animals and serving food. It's just that everyone is too scared to invite him to any normal party.
  • His Meat Hook drag is one of the most feared thing in the Pantheon, with Scorpion himself saying it's a potent weapon based on his spear. However, Pudge can occasionally be seen pouting, because any time he missed, he's going to hear all those insulting "LOL NOOB PUDGE"
  • Don't ask why he's got this sudden Australian accent despite not knowing what this 'Australia' is. At the very least, it seems that The Spy seems to recognize that...
  • Naturally, due to his rotting body, his house is notorious to be amongst the stinkiest house in the Pantheon.

Bottom line, if Rammus get in, he may as well try to compare Pudge with Blitzcrank. Because the Meat Hook is basically a prototype Rocket Grab.

Well?

Looks good. Diablo's Butcher would make an excellent high priest.

Got my own idea for something, this being most like the Trope Codifier. Also makes the final 40k race to be represented.

Asurmen God of Space Elves

  • Greater God
  • Symbol: Twin Shuriken Catapults crossed into an X
  • Alignment: True Neutral
  • Portfolio: Space Elves, Fragile Speedster, Crippling Over Specialization, Split Personality, Determined Defeatist, Self-Inflicted Hell, Do Not Go Gentle, Defector From Decadance
  • Allies: Lambadelta, Rika Furude, Lork Kroak, Commander Farsight, The Emperor and his minions (sometimes), Drizzit.
  • Enemies: The Chaos Gods (ESPECIALLY Slaanesh), Mara, Lucifer, Satan, The Beast The Emperor and his minions (sometimes), Tirek, Asburdeal Vect, The Deceiver, The Nightbringer, Gork and Mork, Ghazkull.
  • Eldar psyker powers are disturbingly similar in principle to "Certainty Magic", which pleases Lambadelta immensely.
  • Asurmen's race (especially their Farseers) terrifies Tirek. They can call upon great magic like power, but since Eldar powers are psychic in nature rather than magic, Tirek's Mana Drain powers are useless to stop them from going off.
  • Rika's successful struggle to defeat her fate of certain death gives Asurmen hope for a better outcome for his race. He has since pledged the usage of the Craft World Hosts to "the Monkeigh Child's" protection if anyone tries something.
  • Finds the concept of Chaos philosophy repulsive. Seeing as the Eldar's fall to decadance created Slaanesh, kinda justified.

Okay, I've looked around and I found a trope that I know no one in the Pantheon has any god position over, which also happens to be a trope that I think would fit Jason Brody perfectly.

So, without further ado, here my mildly rewritten version of Jason Brody's portfolio as God of Jumping Off The Slippery Slope.

Jason Brody, God of those at risk of Jumping Off the Slippery Slope

  • Lesser God
  • Symbol: the tatoos on his left arm (alternatively, his machete)
  • Alignment: started out as Neutral Good, but the frequent violence he partakes in and the drugs he takes have psychologically warped him into being Chaotic Neutral and is gradually leaning toward Chaotic Evil.
  • being at risk of losing his moral compass and sanity, enjoying his fights, Popcultured Badass, One-Man Army.
  • Allies: Jack, Augus, pretty much most of of the Blood Knights and Sociopathic Heroes in the Pantheon that are not affiliated with Vass or Hoyt.
  • Mysterious Protector to: The Cutie Mark Crusaders
  • Enemies: Vass Montenegro, Hoyt Volker, Bambi 'Buck' Hughes, the majority of the House of Beast
  • The moment word got out that Jason ascended into the Pantheon, Hoyt had Vaas sent his pirates out to find and kill him, most pirates that so much as got within Jason's sights tend to be found later dead with either stab wounds, or being riddled with bullets.
  • Because he gradually proves more bloodthirsty and unhinged with every kill he makes, many gods see him as a serious loose cannon in the Pantheon. Because of this, it's considered wise to avoid pushing any of his buttons because while he's not a bad as Asura in terms of anger issues, but he's still very dangerous when provoked.
  • Jason was banned from the House of Beast when he tried to kill some of the animal gods here for their skins, which cause some serious panic as Jason actually managed to injure some of them, such examples involved Wart getting arrows in his butt, Pumba nearly getting roasted with a flamethrower, and Bruce needing medical attention from all the grenade launcher rounds he took. Jason's hunting streak was stopped and he was forced to retreat when Godzilla started coming after him.
  • Despite not being... [[understatement at the best of terms]] with the other Equestrian deities, Jason has shown a surprising amount of fondness toward the Cutie Mark Crusaders, as they're goal of finding their special talents remind him of his college days when he was trying to find a job that could sustain his interest. So he's taken up being something of a Mysterous Protector to them, whenever any mooks or certain Evil-aligned deities plan on harming the CMC, they'll likely end up with either a quick bullet to the brain or a machete on the gut before they can get very far. Wreck-It Ralph is fully aware of this and actually keeps the CMC Locked Out of the Loop about Jason, if only to assure they don't get any... unhealthy ideas.
    • However, should the CMC be in any immediate danger, Jason won't shy from doing any Teeth Clentched Teamwork with the other Equestrian Deities and/or Wreck-It Ralph if necessary.

So, what do you all think?

Chaps, I know I'll just be getting flak with this query but I'll ask anyway.

What exactly are the reasons for putting Natsuru Senou in the disgraces? Was it just because of his Clueless Chick Magnetism?

It's because I was planning to insert Ichika Orimura in the pantheon as the God of Deliberately Chaste Heroes sometime in the future, just want to hear out your opinions to the matter...

All right, here's our Space Pirate!

Captain Harlock, God of Space Piracy and Sailing through Outer Space (Captain Herlock, Albator)

  • Intermediate God
  • Symbol: His battleship, the Arcadia
  • Alignment: Chaotic Good
  • Portfolio: Badass, stoic types, giving his word, eyepatches, having a snarled past
  • Domains: Piracy, Space, Honor
  • Allies: Jack Sparrow, Balthier, Captain Marvelous, Shizuo Heiwajima
  • Enemies: YHVH, and all Gods in the House of Evil.
  • After learning of the state of affairs in the Pantheon, Harlock decided to come by to stop the injustice in his own way. Surprised all of the House of Crime with his ship—Captain Jack Sparrow and Carmen Sandiego are gunning for it, while Issac and Miria want to play around with the buttons on the ship.
  • Makes most evil machine gods run in fear. There was one rumor where he was able to overpower some robotic men by forcing one to drink milk. Made good allies with Shizuo Heiwajima because of that wondering if he can also make people submit through that.
  • Has confused Tetsuo in the House of Travel for a Tetsuo he knows who once traveled on a space train that he met once or twice. Also finds Ryotaro's train to travel back in time quite interesting.

So, what do you guys think?

Note to self: Never bet on Entei.

@Adachi's portfolio: Great portfolio. May need to put on an alternate pic about him being pissed off.

And to complete the Hiimdaisy reference... since we don't have Dojima (and probably won't have him in the Pantheon) to interrupt him with a punch whenever he goes talking about MURDERS (Yaaay!), have a random member of House of Justice to do the interrupting. It changes everytime. Call it a Running Gag or sorts.

Also I noticed this... we don't have quite about a God of ACTUAL spiders, right? No, Spider Man doesn't count. I'm talking about the actual beast itself.

So I'm... suggesting... the original spider from the Greek Mythology: Arachne. Maybe she could use her appearance in Smite for reference.

Now please don't get this like "Every Gods in Mythology has more priority", just make sure they have a good rep in other stuffs. Speaking of Smite, maybe we should also note which Gods, while not based on their Smite appearance, has also a place in the Pantheon and represented by other media. So far we have... Zeus (based on original Mythology / God Of War), Hercules (based on various, but mostly The Incredible Hercules), Thor (based on The Mighty Thor) and Guan Yu (based on Dynasty Warriors). Anyone else I missed?

Is there anyone that has Shell Shocked Veteran because I would like to add William "B.J" Blazkowicz and I would first like to know if there is anyone before I do that.

Also Mosquito Man, Yoshikage Kira is a Serial Killer from Part 4 (Diamond is Unbreakable) of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, He is in a small town, killing women, and attempts to keep his identity a secret, and then later gains a supernatural edge with his Stand Killer Queen. He also has to fight a bunch of high school kids as they try and investigate on his killings.

I recently checked out Adachi and noticed they have a lot of similarities that could make them allies, but would Adachi want to ally with Yoshikage?, Since I knew jack about Persona I thought you could help on the response though I should have counted on the irony that you did not know about JoJo's Bizarre Adventure.

[up][up] Well, there are the two Hades (Disney's Hercules Hades and Kid Icarus Hades), Loki (Marvel), Asura (Asura's Wrath), Mara (Shin Megami Tensei), Amaterasu (Okami), Erebus (Persona 3), Lucifer (Shin Megami Tensei), Satan (Castlevania: Lords of Shadow), YVHV in sense, I guess Horsemen (Supernatural) would count and probably others I am missing. I think we talk about this when some one tried to suggest Odin that we don't have gods directly lifted from their original myths, just characters base on those gods.
