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.

@Donnietu; so would it be okay with me to go ahead on my draft of Master Cylinder, or do I have to wait for the consent of other tropers or discuss a nomination more before I even consider posting a character draft? (the first one I did with Professor was made when i just got started here, so i started it without discussing it with others at first)

Standard repost of Fat Tony

Fat Tony, God of Obvious Crime Fronts (Marion Anthoy D'Amico, William Williams, Fit Tony, Fit-Fat Tony)

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/190px-FatTony_2308.png
  • Votes: 3(fasoman1996, rin14100, Donnietu)
  • Date of ascension: 3 June(repost 1 June)
  • House: Crime
  • Demigod
  • Symbol: A sign saying "Legitimate Businessmens' Social Club"
  • Alignment: Lawful Evil
  • Portfolio: Affectionately Parodic Mafia Heads, The Don, Karma Houdini (Usually), Legitimate Businessmens Social Club, Affably Evil (sometimes), Ascended Extra, Badass in Charge, Seen With A Cigar, Uses Exact Words, Killed Off for Real, My Cousin Will Live Through And Become Me
  • Domains: The Mafia, "Business Clubs" and Waste Management, Gambling, Bootlegging, Fraud and Cigarette Smuggling, Rat Milk
  • Allies: Quark, Vito Corleone, Polpo, Twitch
  • Odd Friendship with: Homer and Marge Simpson, Moe Syzlack (sometimes enemies)
  • Enemies: Squealers, any Yakuza god, Archibald Snatcher, Monterey Jack, Tsunade, Miltank, Bloody Marie, Peacock, Abadar
  • Respects: Giorno Giovanna
  • Fat Tony, also known as Marion Anthony D'Amico or William Williams, is the local mob boss of Springfield. Starting as a poor runaway he would rise to become master of many criminal enterprises like illegal gambling, cigarette smuggling, bootlegging, fraud and selling fake IDs. Reliable yet dangerous when it comes to ill-gotten gains, he hides behind a Legitimate Businessmens Social Club.
  • Heavily influenced by Vito Corleone, even having a godfather of his own. Unsurprisingly he was awed to be in the same house, and immediately visited him to sign an autograph. Crime-wise, he works well with Polpo as they're both skilled at getting out of punishment. Despite his alliance to Polpo he does respect Giorno Giovanna, though a lot of it is out of fear.
  • Officially in charge of waste management, and can be found at his bar in the Social Club. Given how so many citizens of Springfield are idiots, corrupt or both he can get away with a lousy cover for the center of his criminal enterprise. He's still able to get away with it in the pantheon because of his deity status and manipulating the corruption in it.
  • Can manipulate others through gambling debts or bribes. He's more wary with the former given how he ended up messing with Tsunade, and he wasn't prepared for her offense. The latter failed completely against Abadar. He doesn't like squealers either, or anyone who's part of the Yakuza due to their last conflict. This is due to when Homer called Fat Tony to help Marge and he started to rub out her competition, said competition summoned the Yakuza to combat them.
  • Has butted heads with the Simpson family on a number of occasions, mainly around his Loan Shark tendencies and trying to pay him. Despite this, they have an Odd Friendship and seem to get along personally. Given his own criminal record, there's a mixed relationship with Moe Syzlack. He's more than willing to give Krusty the Clown leeway due to being funny.
  • Some more idealistic members of the GUAG have tried to convince him of the error of his ways. He usually responds by comparing cigarette smuggling to stealing a loaf of bread to feed a starving family. Marge argued that he could have been a pizza man, organ grinder or leaning-tower man, only for him to cry and state "you are listing my broken dreams".
  • Despite his sway on Mayor Quimby, even he was aghast at his milking of rats since he promised "dog or higher". Proceeded to try and assassinate him. He doesn't really get this, believing that people love rats. He's pretty fond of them himself. Has attempted to capture Miltank and force her to produce milk in response. That being said he's still using rats, just disguising it as cheese. Monterey Jack and Archibald Snatcher were offended by this.
  • Being a mafia boss has made him an instant enemy of Bloody Marie and Peacock. The former despises what the mafia did to the latter; being sadistically tortured and mutilated.
  • He has died and replaced by his cousin Fit Tony, who proceeded to become fat and more or less be identical to him. The original Fat Tony is the one in the pantheon, while Fit-Fat Tony continues his role in the show.

@RJ-19-CLOVIS-93, [tup] for Fat Tony.

[up][up] @fasoman1996, thanks! Here's my first draft for Master Cylinder.

Master Cylinder, God of Tin Can Robots

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/cylinders_1.png

  • House: Robotics & Machinery
  • Rank: Intermediate God
  • Symbol: His Visor
  • Alignment: Chaotic Evil
  • Portfolio: Big Bad, Brain in a Jar, Classic Villain, For the Evulz, Jerk with a Heart of Jerk (borderline Hate Sink), Knight of Cerebus, The Sociopath, Small Name, Big Ego, Tin-Can Robot
  • Domains: The Moon, Mars, Venus
  • Followers: ?
  • Allies: None. He sees everybody as being below him.
  • Rivals: Sigma, Gate, Dr. Weil, Mother Brain, Marvin the Martian, General Grevious, Dalek Emperor
  • Enemies: Felix the Cat, The Professor (on and off), Mega Man (Classic) and Dr. Light, Mega Man X, Zero, Sonic the Hedgehog, Dr. Eggman, the Nostalgia Critic, The Doctor
  • Pitied By: ?
  • Opposed By: Felix The Cat
  • Opposes: The Houses of Magic and The House of Justice
  • Conflicting Opinion: With Dr. Weil on whether its better to rule the Earth or just blow it up (Master is willing to try either option).
  • Despite being the deity of Tin Can Robots, Master is technically a cyborg, although the only thing left of his physical body is his brain, as his original form was fried to a crisp in a chemistry lab accident. The fact that he only goes by the name Master Cylinder, and was even called that by his former mentor when recalling his name, implies that he's fully embraced his robotic form and has abandoned whatever identity he had in the past. His robotic body is very modular and has been redesigned several times.
  • Even though he was the former pupil of Professor, one of the most pathetic villains in the Pantheon, Master Cylinder is anything but ineffectual or sympathetic. He is rotten to the core in personality. It says a lot about his character that even Felix the Cat, who is known in the Pantheon for his compassion and benevolence, openly despises the cyborg and would be glad to see him dead. Even his own mentor, The Professor, does not approve of Master Cylinder's evil deeds, and sometimes teams up with Felix to stop him.
    • And it's not without reason either; unlike Tarkin, who would blow up a planet to instill fear, or Marvin the Martian, who wants to blow up a planet for purely pragmatic reasons, Master wants to blow up the Earth solely for kicks. To him, destroying billions of lives is just a sick game to him, and he sees everybody as being below him. And when he's not trying to blow up the Earth, he's more than willing to enslave a child (in this case, his mentor's nephew, Poindexter) to create rocket fuel for his entire army so he can invade the Earth. Why, you ask? Because he can. He is that arrogant. He even had the nerve to kidnap Poindexter and rope him into another scheme just after the kid saved his life on one occasion.
  • Dr. Weil admired his casual sadism and even tried to get him to join his ranks. Master immediately accepted the offer, but quickly tried to backstab him and revealed that he was only doing it to gain access to Neo Arcadia's vast resources and reploid/mechaniloid army to further his own ends. He tried to fight the Doctor one-on-one, but quickly discovered he was unable to overpower the scientist due to his near-invulnerability. Weil promptly sicked Omega and the Four Guardians on Master Cylinder, who all sent his shiny metal ass flying right back to the moon.
  • He once found common ground with the Daleks in regards to their obsession with destruction and attempted to align with them, but they immediately rejected him due to him having a human brain.
  • It is not a wise idea to bring up his “upgraded” knockoff from the Movie in his presence.

With that fourth vote, a simple gentleman's club owner gets to work, on...waste management. Nothing illegal here.

First draft of Tommen Baratheon

Tommen Baratheon, God of Kings In Name Only (King Tommen I, the First of His Name, Tommen Lannister, Tommen Waters)

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/c74194a10c5e624ab78cefdf70fb2174.jpg
  • House: Royalty
  • Demigod
  • Symbol: A Lannister lion cub with Baratheon stag horns
  • Alignment: Neutral Good, aspiring to be Lawful Good
  • Portfolio: Child Kings, Puppet Kings, Strikingly Not Robert's Son(But Kind-Hearted Regardless), Nice Guy Even to Joffrey, Pure-Hearted Lannister, Hero with Bad Publicity, Extreme Doormat, Crown of Horns, Good-Hearted Blonds, Loves Cats, Morality Pet, Childhood Innocence, Losing The Will To Live, Too Good for This Sinful Earth
  • Domains: Kindness, Leadership, Children, Cats
  • High Priest: His cat, Ser Pounce
  • Followers: The Sultan, King Theodon, Robert Arryn
  • Allies: Jaime Lannister (his uncle/real father), Margaery Tyrell (his wife), felines in general but especially Mufasa, Simba and Big The Cat, N, Sakaki, Princess Jasmine, Rosette Christopher, Irene Adler
  • Teeth-Clenched Teamwork with: Eddard "Ned" Stark, Oberyn Martell, Eric Cartman
  • Special relationship with: Cersei Lannister (his mother), Robert Baratheon (his legal father), Tywin Lannister (his grandfather), Tyrion Lannister (his uncle)
  • Unwitting Pawn of: Varys, Petyr Baelish, Jafar
  • Enemies: Aerys Targaryen, Daenerys Targaryen, Stannis and Renly Baratheon (his legal uncles), those cruel to cats like Dio Brando, Scar, Ghetsis, Judge Claude Frollo
  • Opposes: Gregor Clegane, beets, fundamentalists, Prince Charmless, James Moriarty
  • Opposed by: King Henry VIII
  • When King Robert Baratheon died, the kingdom was left with two official heirs. The first, Joffrey Baratheon, proved to be a complete psychopath, everything wrong with letting an impetuous child have power. When he died the throne was left in his brother, Tommen Baratheon. Unlike Joffrey he was kind, innocent and overall a good person. Unfortunately that made him easy to manipulate, a Puppet King.
  • Most know already, but it should be stated that he's not actually Robert's son. Rather, he and his sibling are the product of the queen's incestuous relationship with her brother Jaime. Him not being Robert's son was kind of obvious, and upon learning this in the pantheon Robert was furious. Cersei hopes to keep this information from Tommen, which has surprisingly worked. Given his kind nature, good-hearted gods would rather him not learn.
  • Because of his youth and kind nature, he is easy to manipulate. Varys, Littlefinger and for a time his own grandfather made easy work controlling him to their best efforts. He has attempted to assert some control, but this has backfired. Jafar is currently trying to manipulate him as he did the Sultan, in hopes of trying his hand at conquering Westeros after his failure at Agrabah. Jasmine noticed this and doesn't want him to go the same road her sultan father did.
  • Nominally enemies with the Starks and Martells, however it's only because of his loyalty to the Lannisters. From what little he's been told of the Mountain's monumental sins, he only lets him around because his mom has told him to and needs the protection. Oberyn has nothing again Tommen, it's just that the feud between their families has gotten ugly. Jaime meanwhile is overjoyed to see his nephew/actual son in the pantheon, though this might further fray his relationship with Cersei.
  • Saw a lot of his assumed father in King Henry VIII, and thought he could befriend him. Instead Henry detested him due to his own issues with his second wife Anne Boleyn and the comparisons between his mother and Anne Boleyn. Elizabeth the First was more compassionate towards him.
  • He was deeply traumatized about what happened to his wife Margaery Tyrell, being killed by his mother in the massacre at the Sept of Baelor. So much so he took his own life. As such he was overjoyed to see she had ascended, and in the same house as him. When he tried to reunite with her however he took a wrong turn and ended up meeting Irene Alder, who he mistook for Margaery. This resemblance led him to oppose Moriarty on grounds of giving her a bad name.
  • Really likes cats, and managed to petition Ser Pounce to join him in the Trope Pantheon. Someone jokingly suggested Ser Pounce was Azor Ahai, which Tommen took seriously of all things. He is friendly to all cats, and one of his royal decrees was for Westeros to protect the Felines sub-house. Trying to help Sakaki get along better with cats.
  • He likes felines, but makes an exception with Scar. Like what he believes Renly and Stannis Baratheon to be, Scar is a usurper, an Evil Uncle and a brother-killer who must be opposed. Mufasa and Simba are grateful for the help, and wish to see a kind-hearted king like himself to grow into being strong-willed. Eric Cartman admries his love of cats and is willing to help, but giving he's a Jerkass Tommen doesn't like being around him. He's only given a position to help with cats, which Cartman will inevitably use for his own purposes.
  • Though it is very hard for Tommen to hate anyone, he detests Dio Brando for cruelly killing a cat and tricking people into eating it. Or generally killing animals to be a dog. While he doesn't hate Prince Charmless per-say, he gets more annoyed than most people as his personality reminds him of his brother. This got Charmless angry as while utterly intolerable, he considers Joffrey a psychopath and hates Tommen for the comparison.
  • Because of how he's been manipulated and his abusive mother, N feels bad for him and wants to help him grow a backbone. Ghetsis meanwhile wishes that N could've been as Weak-Willed as part of his takeover scheme. He has done better by ignoring or questioning his mother on occasion, and sides more with Margaery nowadays. Killing his wife will do that.
  • His mother tried to get the High Sparrow to help out. It backfired utterly, and both mother and son are sore about it. He opposes evil members of the clergy like Frollo because of this, though supports benevolent religious folk like Rosette Christopher.

After a whole lot of delays, the subhouses for Craft are finally up.

I really feel like I shouldn't be making new subhouses if I'm taking too long on them (and my profiles are already taking a long time as it is). At this point, I feel like I'm battling my own lack of motivation to try and get anything done around here (and lack of motivation is possibly one of the factors as to why I'm taking a while to finish things anyways).

[up] Don't get discouraged, everyone has their downsides and you don't make bad profiles. If you don't feel motivated you can take a break for a while.

Oh, my gosh, what a week. I was intending to post these earlier, but my computer decided it hated me more than it wanted to work for me.

The Quester's Rest already has a thumbs-up, so it should be going up today, or rather, tonight.

The Quester's Rest, Seat of Pubs, Interdimensional Inns, and Taverns (SPIIT)

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/2017_05_23a_copy.png
  • A pleasant and welcoming building that expands to accommodate the number of entries on its growing guestbook.
  • Symbol: The handheld sign bearing the proprietress' face and the word "INN"
  • Theme: Pub Polka.
  • Alignment: A welcome haven for all. Erinn guarantees to treat you well, rich or poor. Neutral Good.
  • Portfolio: Good-Guy Bar, Rest-and-Resupply Stop, Portal Crossroad World, You All Meet in an Inn, Public Bathhouse Scene, Evolutionary Levels
  • Domains: Inns, Hospitality, Baths, Banking, Library
  • Sacred To: Every Dragon Quest character ever, especially its staff. Heroes, knights, and drifters welcome, so long as they behave themselves.
  • Unholy To: ???
  • Similar Locations: Cafe Ahnenerbe, Old Maccadam's Oil House, McAnally's Pub
  • Are you on a quest to save the world? The Quester's Rest is your one-stop-shop for rest and relaxation. Take a load off, grab a beer, and please refrain from harassing the staff — we know the girls are pretty! Once you've paid the fee and signed the guest book, you will be guaranteed a room — even if there wasn't one there before! (Don't worry if it seems Bigger on the Inside, it'll look Bigger on the Outside when you leave).
  • The QR provides all sorts of amenities for guests, from a free adventurer-networking service, to an interdimensional shopping network, to an excellent bank to secure your gold (please make deposits in units of no less than one-thousand pieces at a time, thank you). There's also the public fountain bath underneath the lobby and a library for those of you who want to relax your body or your mind. Legend says there's even a beautiful angel who haunts the hotel, and if you can see her, she'll offer use of the Rapportal to you so you can visit other worlds.
  • Rest assured, the staff are all Consummate Professionals, and innkeeping is Serious Business. Erinn the proprietress has innkeeping in her very blood, having taken over management of the QR from her father (who followed his father before him) — she even won the QR an Inny her first year on the job! (Fair Warning Disclaimer: when we said not to harass the staff, we meant it — almost all of them are expert adventurers in their own right, including thieves, mages, and clerics).
  • Rumor has it one of the staff is on mission from the Sinndicate of Pubs, Inns, and Taverns (SPIT) to root out all malfeasinnce and locate new Bad Guy Bars for monitoring. Rumor also has it that she's the legendary agent who took down the Inntouchables.
  • (Pit was disappointed to learn that the much-lauded bath with the angel fountain was not, in fact, a hot spring).

Looking for advice or thumbs up for:

Eight, God of Secret Royalty (The Guv', My Boy, Ragazzo, Commander)

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/screen_shot_2013-05-14_at_11_11_37_pm-w350-h450_1135.png
  • House: Royalty
  • Intermediate God
  • Symbol: The Dragovian Symbol
  • Alignment: Lawful Good
  • Portfolio: Amnesiac Hero, Cursed with Awesome, Half-Human Hybrid, Draconic Humanoid, Hidden Backup Prince, Lost Orphaned Royalty, Uncanny Family Resemblance, Orphan's Plot Trinket in the form of a Cool Pet, The Quiet One, The Reliable One, Hypercompetent Sidekick, Almighty Janitor, Heroic Spirit, Magnetic Hero, Childhood Friend Romance, Lady and Knight, Psychic Link, Dragon Knight, The Dragons Come Back
  • Domains: Teams, Royalty, Dragons, Duty
  • Allies: Angelo, Son Gohan, Scott Pilgrim, Aoi Sakuraba
  • Enemies: Starscream, Ragyo Kiryuin, Bowser
  • Opposed by: Prince Charmles
  • Heralds: Yangus, Munchie, Morrie
  • Backstory: Eight was only a palace guard of Trodain about his rounds the fateful day that King and Castle were cursed; the Sole Survivor of the curse, he rescued King Trode and Princess Medea (each now a Baleful Polymorph) and they set out to undo the spell. Gathering a Ragtag Bunch of Misfits, they hunted the evil spirit responsible and its Artifact of Doom to the ends of the earth. During their adventure they discovered a Healing Spring that could briefly cure the princess; bringing her back every now and again to regain her humanity was the least he could do for his Childhood Friend, who even when she was healed would only have an Arranged Marriage with Prince Charmless to look forward to. Later, it became apparant that Eight was the Half-Human Hybrid son of a race of Draconic Humanoids who had been ousted and cursed to become an Amnesiac Hero to protect the race's isolation. After saving the Dragovian Lord from himself, it became apparent that his father was actually Argonian royalty... which means Eight was actually a perfectly valid stand-in for that same Arranged Marriage over and above Prince Charmless, much to Medea's delight, though, even if he hadn't known, he figures he still would've seriously considered inciting Medea to become a Runaway Bride. (Either way, it would make the dream conversations he has with her from the Spring's magic much less matrimonially awkward).
  • (While he is happily wed to his beloved Princess Medea, it has recently become known that there exists an alternate universe in which he may have wed his party's Squishy Wizard, instead. Word's out on that Psychic Link so far).
  • Angelo is almost always delighted to have his old friend around, in part to reminisce about Walking the Earth together and partly because having Eight around means having Munchie the Cool Pet around, and Munchie is exactly the right combination of adorable and awesome to maximize female enthusiasm.
  • Eight was in the middle of setting up his new quarters (he's never comfortable unless he's either on the road or in the barracks) when Angelo entered suddenly and whisked him off to meet a new acquaintance. Confused, Eight nonetheless followed and eventually found himself standing in front of a mirror. No, that's not quite right. "Guv', meet Gohan," Angelo introduced them. "Gohan, the Guv'." Feeling slightly befuddled, Eight nonetheless obliged when Angelo told him to reach Max Tension, and Gohan burst out laughing. "Super Saiyan 2! Nice!" Eight remained confused until Gohan demonstrated what he was talking about.
  • Despite being intimately acquainted with the royal, noble, and wealthiest classes of his own world, he's never exploited Screw the Rules, I Have Connections!.
  • Despite Medea's original Arranged Marriage, neither Eight nor his wife have any real problem with betrothal as such, so long as the two can find happiness in each other.
  • He secretly quite amused by the tale of Scott Pilgrim, though Eight has never actually met Prince Charmles in combat; it's more fun to think about than he would like to admit.
  • He became acquainted with Aoi Sakuraba when he first encountered her cooking, and was touched when he heard her story. He someday hopes to introduce her to his wife.
  • He accidentally made the mistake of carrying extra gear while taking a tour of the House of Beasts; he accidentally dropped Baumren's Bell and the House of Felines exploded. Since then he's been required to check his pockets at the gate.
  • Eight holds Starscream (the Pantheon's ultimate disloyalist) in something very near to contempt. It was the failure to observe obligations that lead to so much tragedy in his home world, and he dreads the same fate for the Pantheon.
  • Hearing of Ragyo Kiryuin abandoning her own humanity reminded him all too strongly of his own heritage, and of the Lord of the Dragovians who abandoned his human aspects, going insane with power that nearly wiped out his on race.
  • Has visited the House of Dragons out of curiosity, and was promptly confronted by the King of the Koopas, who asked him about his Princess back home. It was not a friendly conversation.
  • Prince Charmles has a personal grudge against Eight, in part because the hero stole his "wightfully wedded" bride. Eight mostly ignores his cousin, though makes a point of always standing in between him and Medea when possible.

If there's a God for Ambition Is Evil, then pick that.

While not ascended, I think Catria could sympathize with this one character that may be a bit too inspired by her: Cordelia. You know, that Pegasus Knight that crushes so hard on Chrom but could never become his bride and having to settle with Second Love...

So far, the Whitewings are pretty detached from even outside Archanea. You can have them interact with those outside Archanea. Palla having rather similar looks with Erinys can be such an example.
