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 PokĂ©mon deities only:
    • Gender: Defines the gender of the PokĂ©mon; if genderless, it instead defines what gender they identify as.
    • Ability: Provides the PokĂ©mon's ability. If they can Mega Evolve, the new ability is listed as well.
    • Moves: Defines the four moves used by a PokĂ©mon. 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.

@Earl of Lemongrab:[tup]

Byakuren Hijiri, Toyosatomimi no Miko, and Virgo Shaka (Maitreya)
  • Unwitting Pawns: Yuma Tsukumo, Beat, and Sunset Shimmer, The Emotions, Chaos Gods and No Face
  • Opposed By: Enrico Pucci, Funny Valentine, Humanity and Human ascended deities in general
  • Herald: Hindu, Norse, Buddhist, Japanese Kunitsu, Greco-Roman, Chinese, Aztec, Slavic, Egyptian, and Semitic Deities. Along with several Celtic Fairies and the Maitreyan Ring of Gaea Cultists.
  • The Divine Powers, a cabal of ancient gods who were overthrown by YHVH in the previous universe and the current one in ancient times, formerly worked separately to lead their pantheons against the tyranny of the Hebrew God. Eventually the gods began to work together in the shadows, uniting under the avatar of Vishnu: Krishna, along with the Bodhisattva Maitreya and the leader of the Aesir Odin. He had been sealed inside the Ark in ancient times for his crimes against the world in his attempt to overthrow YHVH, leading him to be imprisoned in the well of Kanda-no-yashiro. He was freed through the machinations of Odin, who then quickly worked to capture their Godslayer, the Kalki Flynn, and began to collect the souls of humanity through Vishnu's dragon Shesha to fuel a new universe where the Old Gods would once again reign at the top and share the souls amongst humanity equally amongst them. No matter how the souls are used they will enter a cycle of reincarnation via a Great Singularity that will unite the souls in death and redistribute them. Their plans ultimately fell through, the Powers slain, Shesha either used or dead, and Krishna sealed once again in the Ark.
    • The Powers would not let this be the end of their cause. Thanks to the humans in the pantheon interacting with Norse deities, Odin was able to restore himself using their observations. Taking this chance as an opportunity he sought allies in the pantheon in order to prepare for the release of Krishna. The Allfather spun a tale of lies, deceiving the gullible Yuma and Beat, while promising Sunset Shimmer a chance at redemption and heroism at aiding the heroes and proving she had turned over a new leaf by having them go unseal the ark. The Angels, demons, and Japanese Gods had not prepared the new defenses for intruders before the three entered the Ark, freeing Krishna in the watery pit beneath it. Restored to glory, Krishna called out to the other Gods of the Divine Powers to once again stand together and make a new universe free of YHVH. Maitreya restored himself through the house of Faith, using the faith for Chrstian Salvation to return and bring Enlightenment to all. Krishna called from the earth the serpent of Death and Renewal, Shesha, to serve as their permanent new base and gather the souls of humanity. The Divine Powers had ascended, and they won't stop until they have brought Salvation to all humanity.
  • Inanna was the most difficult of the group to return, requiring the limitless Aether born of human emotion to restore her. To this end the Powers took captive The Emotions and No Face via Shesha swallowing them before anyone could react, turning the five emotions into a conduit that channel the power of the Chaos Gods and forcing them into No Face. The massive amounts of chaotic emotions horribly transformed No Face until he collected enough Aether to restore Inanna. The Powers cut off the link, keeping the six captive until they could properly remove and use all the Aether stored within the six. Inanna was now restored and with her an endless number of Heralds to act as the groups army.
  • Maitreya, seeking fellow deities with connections to Buddhism and the ancient powers, took captive Asura's daughter Mithra. Having Maitreya hold her by the neck, while lesser members held No Face and the Emotions as hostages, Krishna forced Flynn to once again be his Kalki. With reluctance, Flynn once again dropped his weapons and allowed Odin to take him out via several Zionga, with the Aether now removed from them No Face and the Emotions were discarded. This has earned the attention of Flynn's allies and Asura, earning their enmity. Asura filled with rage sought them out, but Shesha snatched them away to parts unknown before he could. Asura will never forgive them for their actions.
  • Odin meanwhile had traveled around, talking with fellow cruel and evil gods with the guise of his Crow Familiar and an old man. Odin managed to convince Gods who seek to be in control that in the new universe they seek to make free of the old one they have more of a chance at power, with free humans that will always be handed out and will never run dry thanks to the Great Singularity Krishna shall become. Zeus, Hades, Zanza, Chakravartin, and even demons or aliens like Jedah Dohma and Black Doom have been tempted by this offr. Set for his part cares not for this new universe, but that it will not so much destroy the old one as overwrite it, which fits enough into his own goals to make him a personal ally against YHVH for slighting him in the past.
    • Although alien in morality with a strong desire to procreate and have new children with humanity, Odin conveyed the goals of a new world where the Great Ones can do just that with humanity in the universe they seek to make as "All humans shall be shared equally among all Gods". The Great Ones understand the more selfless part of their goal, but do not see the vast selfishness that fuels it beneath. He then appeared before and spoke sweet words to Warboss Ghazhgskull Mag Uruk Thraka after showing the Warboss his own strength in a battle, telling him the Powers will help him achieve the greatest WAAAAAGH! that will ever be achieved once the Divine Egg has been given form. Ghazhgskull was impressed with his skills, and liked how they offered him the lowest members of their Buddhist Heralds, the Pretas, to be replacements for the "bana wavas". Once his forces had left the battlefield covered in souls to gather, the Powers plan to betray him afterwards, using the Pretas to spread espionage and betrayal amongst the Orc forces.
  • The Prinnies really prefer working for the Powers, as they give them even more benefits and profit than even Valvatorez. The fact that they have allowed a number of them to reside in Shesha away from the likes of Ghazhgskull also helps. What they don't know is that once the Cosmic Egg has collected the required human souls, as human souls themselves they will then be absorbed into the egg.
  • Guthix's personally dislikes the Powers as a whole, especially Krishna, for he seeks to make humanity completely dependent on them in the new universe. The fact that he plans to be part of his own Great Singularity with them in the afterlife before the souls return to life. He hopes to one day be in reach of the Powers in order to neutralize their abilities long enough to meet their end.
  • Shesha both mocks and hates the dragon slayers in the pantheon for potentially being able to kill him. Even if his death results in him being revived later more powerful than ever, Shesha dislikes the feeling of death. The Pendragons especially for being wielders of Excalibur(Ame-No-Habakiri) a Blade capable of great harm to him, while the Dovahkiin seeks to see if he can stop the resurrection by taking the soul should he ever fall before him. He always leaves an ominous warning after each battle:
    Shesha:"Next time I see you...I'll KILL YOU!"
  • Maitreya spouts a very nihilistic version of Buddhism, combining the Light of Dharma and his own belief humans are too ignorant and stupid to guide themselves after visiting 5,700,600,000 worlds. He preaches it to all who will hear, and with their hostage Mithra's powers and name connected to the same origin in name as his own, can briefly become Mitra-Buddha to regain his true nature as a Buddha until the new universe is made and he can truly be Maitreya-Buddha. Yuu and the Da'at Cult are one group who have listened and allied with the Powers to see the enlightenment he speaks of. Several of his fellow Buddhist figures such as the Saint Virgo Shakka and Byakuren see his Buddhist teachings as too self-righteous and self-destructive, making humans more dependent on Gods than anything. Though they have seen that trying to protest his beliefs results in his Self-Righteous Vows empowering him rather than dissuading him from this perverted path.
  • Inanna is the most distant of the group, having secluded herself to give birth to children. Unlike the others she has solely joined to protect her desire to have children, but is overbearing to all her children due to her fear of losing her power and thus parts of her identity, which happened in the past when she gave birth to her daughter-sister, the mother of the Tuatha De, Danu. She feels a kinship with Shub-Niggurath as a result of their natures as fertile mothers, but due to their conflicting alliances the two have been unable to interact much. Inanna has offered a place in the Powers should Lucifer fall, knowing that the fellow mother will not steal her power and motherhood from her, and together they can stand against YHVH and any who would try to stop them from being themselves.

Every accusation by the GOP is ALWAYS a confession.

Scarlett O'Hara is currently listed in the Naming Conventions sandbox. Since she's listed as a goddess of Southern Belles, to which area should we move her? Her other domain, Scarlet Fever, was cut recently in a Trope Repair Shop discussion.

Luxord, God of Fair Play Villainy (Number X, Gambler of Fate)

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/luxord_khd.png
  • Intermediate God
  • Symbol: His deck of cards, Fair Game
  • Theme Music: The 13th Struggle
  • Alignment: True Neutral
  • Portfolio: Fights With Playing Cards, Evil Brit, Affably Evil, The Gambler, Duel Boss, Time-Limit Boss For Both Sides, Time Master (We Think), Pungeon Master, Noble Demon
  • Domains: Cards, Gambling, Bosses, Villains
  • Allies:
  • Enemies: Sora, Donald Duck, Goofy Goof, Captain Jack Sparrow
  • Former Allies: Lea
  • Rivals: Twisted Fate, Dorothy Albright
  • Abhorrent Admirer: The Queen of Hearts
  • No one is certain how Luxord appeared in the Pantheon one day. Some speculate it has to do with Xehanort, but it is hard to really say for sure. His opinion? He doesn't really mind the his resurrection, as he considers him getting another shot at the game of life.
  • Luxord really considers life being like a game, more specifically like a game of chance. He doesn't care about who wins or loses, as long as he can continue playing it. Even when he is at his job, he can't but play with his opponents. And even in battle, he likes to apply rules for both him and his foes. Like applying a time limit to both sides of the field.
  • Luxord's fighting style consists of him manipulating a deck of cards. He can manipulate them telekinetically to attack foes from range, enlarge them to make them act as barriers and hide amongst them with some trap cards what can turn his foes into either dice or a giant card. Oddly enough, even though he has time powers, he rarely uses them, so what he can do with it is unknown.
    • Due of his preference of weapons, he has gained some competition from Twisted Fate and Dorothy Albright. He does like the competition, but he jokes that Dorothy is bit too young to play around with cards.
  • Is sort of creeped out by the idea that the Queen of Hearts might have feelings for him. Especially since he doesn't want to return back to Wonderland after his previous visit.
  • He has gotten into what people tend to call "children's card games". He just says that there is something interesting about it. He doesn't really know what kind of deck to play with, though. He would run a gambling-themed one, but someone else is running that kind of deck and he doesn't really like to compete. Luck might not be on his side.
  • He doesn't really see an eye-to-eye with D'Arby Brothers. He really doesn't like how they try to cheat to get their way on things. Though he does at least give some respect to Daniel for being smooth about it. Telence, however? He would want to turn him into a card or something.
  • He doesn't like if you were to "cut his deck". He doesn't mind if you cut few of his cards, but if you were to attack his entire deck, then he'll get mad at you.

Continue the bloodline, Fujimaru!

Now that I reworked Esdeath's profile, can I please give Akame her own separate profile? I know that splitting groups is frowned upon, but I feel like it's an injustice to keep her restrained to a profile with a bunch of characters who don't even interact with each other in the story.

Or it's just me not liking Mr. g o l d e n r a y n a r e and trying to undo their doings kappa

Yeah, the thing is that i kinda agree on this one is that we should make Akame (And prob Tatsumi) their own separate profiles. There are like 3-4 characters in Night Raid that didn't have much to do because they were killed quickly.

So i don't mind.

[nja]What I'm saying is that Night Raid consists of the real main characters and the Mauve Shirts. The real characters survive the story while the Mauve Shirts don't get to interact with everyone on the team before they die an edgy death. Akame is of the former camp and has enough character to warrant her own separate profile.[nja]

[up][up]Thanks.

Hey N3xus, can you change Eren's trope and move him accordingly? I would do it, but i don't know much about the series and there should be some texts reflecting his title change.

@Jrads Samuel Rodrigues also has a blade called Murasame. Well, Murasama but it's very similar.

[up] I think also because his profile was kinda poor. Coupled with the fact that i guess no one wanted to rework him.

[up][up][up] Jeez Jrads, if that's the case, well you have to do a rework on the non surviving members of Night Raid if you wanna give Tatsumi and Akame a separate profile.

@fasoman: Before I change Eren's title, what is your suggested trope for him?

[down]But as far as I remember, he still technically survived after he got eaten by a Titan then he burst out and transforming into a Titan by killing the said Titan from the inside. Right?

[down]That would be nice. BTW it's kinda tricky to pothole Our Hero Is Dead since English is my secondary language, I really need some serious help on this one. Do you have any good suggestions?

Our Hero Is Dead. Drop him in Narrative Structure, no need to do a rework of him, just a few text changes.

Edit: The laconic says: "Killing the protagonist as a Cliffhanger. He'll get better, though.". What you said is why he fits the trope

I just transferred Eren Yeager to the Narrative Structure sub-house in the House of Narrative with Our Hero Is Dead as his trope title.
