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.

  • Date of ascension: 13 May
  • House: Naming Theme (House of Narrative)
  • Greater Goddess (Overdeity in her Empty form)
  • Symbol: A pitch black globe
  • Theme Song: The Empty Mother
  • Alignment: Neutral Evil in actions, True Neutral in intentions (officially Light-Neutral or Neutral-Neutral)
  • Portfolio: Walking Spoiler, One Bad Mother Of A Thousand Young, Big Bad, Humanoid Abomination, Avenging The Pollution Of The World, The Schwarzwelt, Light Is Not Good, Extra Eyes, Pitiless Sense Of Justice, Wields Many Elements, Standard Status Effects, Mother Nature
  • Domains: Demons, Mothers, The Human Soul, The Schwarzwelt
  • Heralds: Her fellow Mother Goddesses-Ouroboros Maia, Tiamat and Maya
  • Followers: Kaguya Otsutsuki, Mother Machine, Eve, SCP-597
  • Allies: Gaea, Shub-Niggurath, Gohma Vlitra, Lucifer and the GUAC, the Demons sub-house (except the Godhand and Nosferatu Zodd), The Spring Sprite, Pamela Isley, Ra's Al Ghul
  • Respects: The Nature Preservers and those like Celebi who protect the environment, Captain Planet
  • Enemies: YHVH, Metatron and the GUAL, Hexxus, The Imperium of Mankind, Chakravartin, The Godhand and Griffith, humans like Mr Burns who ruin and exploit the environment, The Tyranid Hive Fleet, The Grox, Alexstraza, Amatsu-Mikaboshi, the GUAD, Amatserasu
  • Opposes: Humanity, The Other Mother
  • Pities: Kurama, We3
  • The Earth in its many incarnations has seen a Forever War in the form of Order Versus Chaos, despoiling its beauty. Humans have allowed themselves to pollute their home. However the will of the Earth has a face and an agenda, in the form of Mem Aleph. Mother to demons, life and the human soul, she believes their former beauty has been twisted beyond repair. She created the Schwarzwelt to unleash demons and restore the world.
  • Is One Bad Mother, however she doesn't see it that way. She's not the only one either, though is the main threat. Ourobors Maia serves as her literal Dragon, who's in charge of the lush Sector Eridanus. Tiamat is in charge of Sector Fornax, a sea goddess who plans to overrun humanity with her millions of demon children. Finally there is Maya, in charge of Sector Grus and a goddess of illusions.
  • Capable of enthralling mother goddesses with "ma" in their name, even Mara. Mara and Amaterasu managed to resist this thrall and the latter is still very sour about it.
  • While The Other Mother is One Bad Mother like her, she doesn't like her. Sure she's villainous, but she cares in her own way about her offspring. The Bedlam steals children to be hers and to feed on them, and as such Mem Aleph considers her a disgrace to moms everywhere.
  • A staunch ally to both Gaea and Shub-Niggurath, due to embodying the world and being a Mother of a Thousand Young. While very similar to the Earth Mother, she is a lot less apathetic than her. She can be just as troublesome however as the Schwarzwelt could easily end in the world being more ruined. Though in her eyes, you can't make an omelet without breaking a few eggs. This has happened more than once. Insists that she is the original mother goddess.
  • Similar to Gohma Vlitra, due to being the embodiment of the Earth and Gaia's Vengeance. As such, she was initially opposed by Asura. That way until she learned that his Earth was being ruined by Chakravartin, who is cut from the same stripe as YHVH. She focused her antagonism away from Asura and immediately on Chakravartin, though he's not that concerned with her.
  • Hates YHVH, hate hates hates Him. She considers His Law and arrogance to be abominable, and His genocide. She and the other Mothers battled YHVH, causing Him to shatter. One of those pieces was the Demiurge. Given YHVH Himself is not the Great Will so much as its avatar, she feels its appropriate. She's on Lucifer's side, trusting him to lead chaos and has in turn been entrusted with a high position in the Chaos Brigade.
  • She naturally opposes the entire Grand United Alliance of Destruction as well. Especially Amatsu-Mikaboshi, as life cannot exist in the primordial chaos it would create.
  • Mother to all demons, she has an honorary possession in the House of Demons. While she gets along with them, there is one exception-the Godhand, and by extension Griffith. As former humans she doesn't consider them true demons, and the Vicious Cycle they've set up to enforce their own cruel form of fate is a sign in her eyes of how far humanity has fallen. On their end, Griffith has an interest in exploiting the Schwarzwelt to change the world to better suit his ambitions, in a manner similar to the World Transformation.
  • Has allied herself with the Nature Preservers, and is seen as an honorary member. Good-aligned members generally steer clear of her, though she appreciates their spirit. She is often found exploring the House of Nature, trying to recruit gods to her cause. Naturally she's gotten along with Lucifer. Seems to be fond of Celebi and its kin, however the Time Travel Pokemon sees her as too extreme. In addition she has allied with the Spring Sprite in order to help fix the world, and pities Kurama and We3 due to what humanity has done to them.
  • Alexstraza opposes her due to the value she puts on mortals, and seeing her as her Shadow Archetype. The Lifebinder is an aspect of life and guardian of nature, however is an all-loving heroine who loves mortals and has seen first hand what the best they're capable of. She has condemned her for giving up on humans, while Mem Aleph wishes she were more cynical as she'd be a worthy ally.
  • Considers Hexxus to be an abomination, and seeks to destroy him as soon as possible. She detests Mr Burns due to almost gleefully polluting with no concern or care whatsoever, along with all industrialists. Because the Grox live on ruined wastelands and the Tyranids strip ecosystems to the bedrock, she hates them as well.
  • Takes umbridge with much of humanity, and of them she seems to detest the Imperium of Mankind the most. While the Earth of SMT might have its issues, Holy Terra is a polluted, overpopulated nightmare that is the center stage of a human empire consumed in xenophobia, fanaticism, conflict and is rendered barren. She was absolutely disgusted to learn what mankind had turned into in the 41st millennium, and considers everyone there irredeemable.
  • In spite of what she sees mankind become, she is capable of seeing the value in some. She admires Pamela Isley's desire to protect plant-kind over humanity, however believes she could be doing more. In particular she's impressed by Ra's Al Ghul and his goals to exterminate most of humanity so as to save the environment. She seems to be fond of Captain Planet, however he opposes her due to her extremism.

Edit: Mem Aleph is up

... I'm really sorry that I brought this up often... but I gotta ask Donnietu and everyone here in regards of Honorable Elephant. I know it's not part of the trope, but... is Babar afraid of mice? It's a common misconception of elephants. But then, I surmise he appears before Dumbo so probably he didn't follow the misconception.

Thing is, you claim him for the trope and did not follow up. I ended up suspecting that you may not be interested. Tell me if I'm wrong, I hope I am.

[up] There is a small profile in his sandbox right here. So definitely in the making.

Is this because of Ganesha?

.... (rather embarrassed) In a word... yes.

I mean, I can't help but see that he is the finest example for the trope since the moment Shiva put on an elephant head on him, he retains the traits of all the trope, added with how India/Hindu treats the elephant species as a sacred animal. And he goes against the misconception of elephants fearing mice.

But if I push for him, I fear of being accused of either hype or Popularity Power. While Donnietu seems to get his reservation via the law of first come first serve and didn't improve his portfolio. So... uhh... yeah let me ask you guys about this. Stahp on the elephant thing?

Well, The Antichrist is open. Might as well give it to Nicolae Carpathia, since he is the most prominent example.

I think you're going to need to strengthen your claim on him, like why he fits best compared to other candidates. I mean, I know we discussed in PM before, but your statements seems to apply if it's just Babar in the room, not if there are other competition. Just so it doesn't look like solely because first come first serve.

And honestly, Ganesha being a popular Hindu God wouldn't be my sole reasoning for him.

I have been tinkering with my SCP-173 profile.

Do you think it's good to go? I don't think i can add much

SCP-173, Deity of Neck Snapping (The Sculpture, Billy)

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/scp_173.jpg
  • Potential House: Murder and Assassination
  • Rank: Euclid. By Pantheon standards, probably Intermediate God.
  • Symbol: Itself.
  • Alignment: Unknown. Likely to be True Neutral or Neutral Evil.
  • Portfolio: Implacable Man, The Dreaded, Living Statue, Murderous Mannequin, Moves very fast unless you are directly looking at it, Sickening "Crunch!"
  • Domains: Statues, Sight, Mystery, Murder
  • Allies: The Weeping Angels (Somewhat), Spooky, The Slenderman
  • Enemies: The SCP Foundation, The Protectors of Plot Continuum, The Doctor, Mike Schmidt, Larry Daley
  • SCP-173 can be described as a docile statue and nothing particular stands out about it besides having a creepy appearance. However, should you take your eyes off it for just a moment, the creature will snap your neck. Maintaining eye-sight is the only way to control it and even then, it can move while you blink, and it's incredibly fast to boot.
  • The first time it entered the Pantheon (or to be more precise, when it was first successfully broken out by someone, GUAE being the most likely suspect after the last breakout), it just startled a few deities who were wandering around the main halls of the Pantheon and suddenly a crowd formed around it, wondering why such a strange statue found itself standing in such an unexpected location. It wasn't until people lost sight of the creature and then it suddenly snapped the neck of Kenny McCormick that people realized this creature wasn't harmless. The SCP Foundation quickly contained the creature and—because the Court of the Gods saw it fitting to ascend—delivered it to its new temple, where it's kept at bay with heavy camera surveillance.
  • SCP-173 is one of the few deities that has been capable to travelling almost anywhere in the pantheon, even to the most unlikely of places. A warning has been displayed that SCP-173 can show up at any moment if it's break from containment and should it be spotted, maintain eye contact and call for help if you need to.
  • It's relationship with the Weeping Angels is an interesting as they aren't really towards SCP-173 and neither is it towards the angels. Although the only reason that may happen is because they can't move if both SCP-173 and the Angels are staring at each other. Both the Doctor and the SCP Foundation have taken this to their advantage when one of these creatures break free.
  • Spooky has taken an interest into inducting the statue to her collection of Specimens in her mansion but that has proven troublesome since she doesn't have the best relationship with the Foundation but she has broken out the creature from its temple numerous time to relocate it to her mansion. How? Well not having a physical neck might have helped her avoid the creatures most deadly attack, so she just allows it to follow her wherever she goes. She might have accidentally killed a few people when she lost sight of SCP-173 though.
  • The Protectors of Plot Continuum have been trying to fend off the creature since it has proven to be a troublesome annoyance for them thanks to 173's powers.
  • Some deities like to call it Billy, for no particular reason other than because it sounds funny for such an strange creature.
  • Of the few deities that were tasked to keep SCP-173 secure was Mike Schmidt, given his experience with the Animatronics. Mike has gone on record saying that dealing with 173 has been hard, since unlike the animatronics whose movement is erratic but predictable, given that he is not used to be constantly fearing that the sculpture moves everytime he blinks. And even worse that it knows how to open doors.
    • Larry Daley is another who often is tasked with guarding it. Unlike Mike, Larry is very used to dealing with living sculptures, although he also has had his share of problems with SCP-173.
  • Said to have a similar MO as Slenderman, with the main difference that looking at Slenderman is actually harmful for the victim. It's not a strange occurance that these two creature actually have come to an agreement and "hunt" together during very late hours of the pantheon. The pantheon has been unable to succesfully capture the Slenderman yet, so the only solution they found was to keep an strict watch of SCP-173 in it's temple at all times.
  • Has an habit of creating a strange substance that may appear to be a combination of blood and feces. The pantheon has tasked a few deities to clean it with supervision so SCP-173 doesn't escape containment. At least the Court of Gods think this is a better idea than the Foundation use of D-Class Personnel.

Chris X: Thank you. That piece of advice just gave me something even better to work with. Swiss-Army Hero (not to be confused with Swiss Army Super Power which is taken). Just checked the most logical houses (heroes, shape, power) and so far is untaken.

This is not shoe horning because its a signature power of his and trying to take suggestions to heart. There are 3 forms each with their own unique abilities.

The car form is about mobility and transporting allies. The two legged form is the combat form (can use its Persona). The cat form (human world only) seems to be useful at stealth and infiltration (and is the most agile form). This is how Maderame gets the Spanner in the Works treatment.

While looking at the Hunters page, I've noticed that both Ryu Hayabusa and the Marked Ninja shared Ninja, but the latter also has Real Life so it's combined to say "Realistic Ninjas." Do you want me to do something to fix this?

Mimikyu, Goddess of Desiring to be Another (The Disguise Pokemon)

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/rsz_600px_778mimikyu.png
  • Lesser Goddess
  • Alignment: True Neutral
  • Symbol: A crudely drawn Pikachu
  • Theme song: Mimikyu's Song
  • Gender: Female
  • Moveset: Wood Hammer, Slash, Shadow Sneak, Rough Play
  • Portfolio: Bedsheet Ghost, Dark Is Not Evil, Paper-Thin Disguise, I Just Want to Have Friends, Dressing as Pikachu
  • Domains: Lonliness, Friendship, Ghosts
  • Allies: Casper, Banette, The House of Friendship, Team Rocket, The Cutie Mark Crusaders
  • Enemies: Metal deities
  • Envies: Pikachu
  • The Disguise Pokemon Mimikyu has seen how popular Pikachu is and how many friends Pikachu has and thought to her self that if she dressed up like Pikachu, then Mimikyu would be able to have lots of friends too.
    • After learning Mimikyu's reasons for dressing like Pikachu, many deities wanted to become friends with Mimikyu, either because they felt sorry for her, or because they took and interest in her.
  • While having ones neck snapped would be inconvenient to many people, whenever Mimikyu's disguise gets busted, Mimikyu's more sad about having its neck snapped because her costume could get torn.
    • While Mimikyu would much rather dress like Pikachu, sometimes unforeseen circumstances, Mimikyu's Pikachu costume gets damaged so Mimikyu has wear costumes based off other characters.
  • There used to be many deities who were really curious about what Mimikyu looked like under her costumes, but upon hearing stories of the last person dying from shock after seeing what Mimikyu looked like, a lot of deities abandoned their curiosity.
  • Even though Mimikyu has made a lot of good friends since her ascension, Mimikyu's developed a particularly strong bond with Koume Shirasaka due to her love of spooky things, going so far as to find zombies cute.
  • Not long after her ascension, Mimikyu became good friends with the Cutie Mark Crusaders as all of them know how it feels to not have lot of friends and to want to change themselves to get friends.

In times of trouble, turn to the Devil for guidance.
