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.

[up] Not really. Isn't there a rule that says not to use more than two tropes in her title? Or overlap 2+ tropes into one title?

[up][up] There is no fourth trope to her title.....at most it's 3 (I meant that the official Pantheon rules defined 3 as the maximum number of tropes a deity could represent), and since one of them (Elemental Weapon) is mentioned only to specify just what is her brand of Kill It with Ice, that can be excused according to the Trope Pantheon rules.

Edit: I just got rid of the Elemental Weapon trope from her title, since that's the source of the conflict here.

Yeah let's just do that....it's just that in her continuity she has the second most powers, and I thought it was a shame to use only one of them.

one [tup] so far

Updated Draft:

Marina/Number Seven, Goddess of Not Drowning Ever (Marina Of The Sea, Sea Queen, Ice Cold Revenge)

  • The "official" image of her is a) not that official (from a book trailer) and b) very unflattering (just shows her face and while she's laughing), any ideas?
  • House: Water And Ice
  • Rank: Intermediate Goddess
  • Symbol: the Loric Number Seven symbol◊
  • Alignment: Lawful Good; Chaotic Good at times
  • Portfolio: An Ice Person, fighting most of her opponents with ice and especially weapons made of it, being a very kind and tolerant badass, a healer who can heal her own wounds, is a powerful telekinetic, as well as physically enhanced, was one of ten Loric children sent to Earth when their race was exterminated to hide amidst human civilization until they avenged their oppressors, spent 11 years abused in an orphanage run by nuns, was given no emotional support by her guardian during those 11 years, Physically and socially bullied until she decided enough was enough, the token healer in her team, ended up traumatized as well as emotionally hurt and hardened, has a name that matches her superpowers, has a depressing character development, gained most of her powers out of near-death or tragic experiences, really wants revenge for her dead boyfriend, Violently Protective Girlfriend
  • Domains: Aquatic Respiration, Ice, Healing, Telekinetic Powers, Revenge
  • Followers: Azurik, the Beard Brothers, any air-breathing non-deity that has infinite bottom time, Aokiji, Frost Giants, Micheal Clark.
  • Allies: House of Heroes, Luke Skywalker, the Doctor
  • Rivals: Jack Frost, House of Weapon Wielding
  • Enemies: Anyone who uses high temperature as a weapon, Houses of Villains and Betrayal, Thanos, Sheev Palpatine, 501st Stormtrooper Legion
  • Jealous of: any deity who was properly taught and trained, Houses of Family and Friendship
  • Teeth-Clenched Teamwork with: House of Justice, as her experience with government organizations has been mostly negative, and House of Defence, as some members there are among her enemies.
  • Respected by: House of Health and Diseases
  • Opposed by/Opposes: House of Forgiveness
  • Herald: Ella
  • The seventh out of nine young children chosen by the elders of the planet Lorien to become the new leaders of their society, Marina was sent to Earth along with the other future elders to avoid genocide at the hands of their enemies, the Mogadorians, who were Feeling Oppressed by Their Existence.
    • Like the other children saved from certain death, Marina is one of the Garde, meaning that she possesses superpowers known as Legacies thanks to being chosen by the Entity that is the essence of her planet.
    • Her number, Seven, represents the order that she can be killed in: thanks to a charm branded on their legs, the surviving Garde can only be killed by the order of their respective numbers. However, this charm breaks when more than one of them join forces, and Marina has been fair game since before her ascension.
  • Marina ascended to the Pantheon when she unlocked her last and deadliest Legacy, cryokinesis, and used it to single-handedly turn the tide of a losing battle, gouging out Number Five's eye in the process with an icicle. While cryokinesis is a relatively common power in the Pantheon, none of the others had combined it with being able to breath underwater without gills or an air supply, justifying her ascension.
  • As she is one of the most paranoid and warfare-oriented deities in the House of Water & Ice, Marina's temple is closer to a fortress in terms of its function. It is located at the very edge of the island of ice, with the main entrance placed on the face of a steep slope. Constructed as a cathedral-like ice cave that is submerged except near the entrance, Marina's corner of the Pantheon is designed to survive a siege and comes equipped with multiple escape tunnels into the ocean, ice-based death traps, and massive stockpiles of food and basic supplies. The inner court of her temple is similar in layout to a cave she used as a shelter during her adventures in the mortal world.
    • This temple is also infamous for being the most inaccessible, and dangerous, temple in the House of Water & Ice, and this is fully intentional. Unless Marina helps you, you will likely drown, get hypothermia, or both on your way in. And you really need her trope in order to stay down there longer than a few minutes, since, aside from a room-sized chamber at the top that has an air pocket, the interior of the temple is submerged in frigid water. This makes it a perfect sanctuary for someone trying to avoid genocide.
    • Because she is the only deity in the House of Nature so far that is connected to both liquid water and ice, Marina is considered one of the more powerful goddesses in Water And Ice despite being only a teen and an Intermediate Goddess.
  • Mostly keeps to herself, not really interacting with other deities. As a result, everyone thought of her as "that strange new goddess that can survive underwater indefinitely", and very few realized the true, great extent of her powers, until she was caught training in the House of Combat.
    • It was later revealed that she had been training both there and in her temple almost constantly since her ascension, to the point of forgoing sleep altogether, in order to make up for the 11 years' worth of training she should have but never received as a mortal.
    • With the conflict in her home continuity over for now, Marina has been provided with something of a break, leading her to start coming out of her shell. When she isn't busy in the mortal realm, she is trying to find new allies in the Pantheon, as a new enemy appears to be on the horizon.
  • She is trying to convince members of the House of Bladed Weapons to try incorporating icicles into their array of swords, spears and other lethal weapons. The others are sceptical, as much of her combat capacity relies on being able to generate weapons as fast as they are used up.
  • Due to her background as an alien genocide survivor and a crucial resistance member fighting against a Galactic Conqueror, Marina is a sworn enemy to the Emperor, as well as the 501st Stormtrooper Legion. The latter, especially, tends to drive her into an Unstoppable Rage on sight, as their blasters and the fact they are manufactured clones are very similar to the weapons and mass-produced nature of the Mogadorian soldiers she used to battle or flee from.
  • Since she cannot drown, Marina can stay submerged indefinitely, and one section of her temple is a completely flooded basement that she uses for underwater meditation. This room also doubles as a bunker when she freezes the entryway shut.
  • Logically, she gets along very well with Luke Skywalker, as both are Human Aliens capable of moving things with their mind that are leading a rebellion against an interplanatary warlord. They once fought back-to-back against the 501st in a decisive victory.
    • She does not, however, get along well at all with Luke's father, not only due to her hatred of galactic overlords, but also out of her disdain for traitors. Vader's redemption also poses a major moral stumbling block for Marina, as she is convinced that a villain can never truly be reformed.
  • Gets along half-decently with the Doctor, and has volunteered to help fight Daleks as long as the Doctor reciprocates when she needs help in the mortal realm.
  • A talented artist who used to paint in her spare time as a mortal, Marina spends at least a few hours every week in the House of Craft painting a mural, which depicts the adventures of herself as well as the other Garde. She also produces ice blocks for the deities who are into making ice sculptures.
  • Marina has been advocating for two other Garde with Elemental Powers to to ascend to House Nature, which would allow her to form a Power Trio with her allies: her closest friend, Number Six, and their leader John/Number Four. This is still under discussion and will likely not happen, as there are already enough weather-related deities in the House of Nature and John is capable of Power Copying, making him potentially too dangerous for those whose ideals do not align with his.
    • For more selfish reasons, she has also been demanding insistently that her deceased boyfriend, Number Eight, be allowed to ascend to the Pantheon. Quite a few deities agree with this decision, some because they pity her, and some because they just want her near-constant Tranquil Fury to stop.
  • Is trying to teach Queen Elsa how to forge, wield and fix more devastating ice weapons. In return, Elsa is helping Marina get over her many losses and grievances, using her own experience with tragedies to help Marina cope, though it may well be years before she starts to have a relatively normal existence.
  • Opposed by and banned from the House of Forgiveness for her unwillingness to forgive Number Five, who was manipulated into betraying his fellow Garde and later genuinely showed remorse for his actions. Marina is equally angry at the House of Forgiveness for being far too complacent and soft on villains, and once tried to wage all-out war against the House (she lost).
    • For similar reasons, she is on shaky footing with The House of Ambiguity, as she dislikes characters whose morality changes depending on the situation.
    • At one point, after Five had redeemed himself, Marina violently lashed out and tried to deliver on the threat she made to him when she ascended, if not outright kill him. As later events showed, had she not been stopped by Number Four, she might have cost her allies greatly and be indirectly responsible for Four's death.
  • Keeps a list of the worst traitors in the Pantheon so she can avoid having them betray their allies.
    • Said list includes everyone in the House of Betrayal, as well as Akechi Mitsuhide.
  • After she and the rest of the Garde emerged victorious against the Mogadorian invasion of Earth, Marina went missing for an entire year, without telling any of her followers or even her close allies of her intended location.
    • She was finally found in the middle of the South Pacific, still pursuing Number Five and in bad shape, but was recovered and started to cope with her trauma, leading her to finally look beyond her temple and start interacting with the rest of the Pantheon.
  • Marina has been offered a spot as a healer in the House of Health and Diseases, as her healing Legacy is one of the most powerful healing forces in the Pantheon, capable of mending shattered skulls, internal bleeding, and spinal injuries. She has also been asked by the leaders of the GUAG to act as the head Combat Medic. Only time will tell if Marina ever decides to go back to that role.
    • It should be mentioned that while Marina can heal any injury short of actually losing a part of one's body, her healing Legacy doubles the amount of pain as it heals, and some deities would prefer to die and be restored rather than be healed by her.
    • Bizarrely, one of the things she is capable of healing is genetic argumentation. For this reason, Steve Rogers makes sure not to ever cross her, since Marina is theoretically capable of turning him back into the weakling he used to be.
  • Is sick of fellow deities provoking her and making her emit an aura of cold just so they can use her as a living air conditioner.

Well, Marvel Vs Capcom Infinite is out. Jedah and Thanos are now in each other's death lists.

Also, this means that Sigma has made himself involve with crossover with works of other Capcom works, Marvel, Sega and Bandai Namco (featuring Fire Emblem and Xenoblade). The guy is like trying to become the biggest Hate Sink.

Any progress on the database? For example, those that can disrupt other people's powers? Or something about Harry Potter magic?

I mention if Arch-Enemy was taken. It's not for a candidate but for a trope change

@ Marina: If we're talking genocide, The Vex's and Oryx's entire goal revolves around that on a universal level. Though, their forces are much more competent than the Legion.

@ Thrax: SCP-049 would not tolerate the pathogen despite not realizing he is any better when it comes to him trying to cure a non existent plague. Would also be enemies with the Spring Sprite considering she is the embodiment of life and nature.

So here's some facts about the Taken revealed in Destiny 2: They can corrupt the environment around them as evidenced with their poisoning of the water reservoir, they can "Take" without Oryx's guidance, and are capable of organized leadership depending on whose Taken.

All my fault, you say...? What fault? I daresay it's all thanks to me.

Standard repost of Clefairy. Also, anything else I should add to Metro Man?

  • On good terms with: The Random Number God
  • Friendly Rivalry with: Ash's Pikachu, Jigglypuff
  • Cautious towards: Those who can manipulate probability like Wanda Maximoff
  • Enemies: Team Rocket, Ghetsis Harmonia, Cyrus, Dr Eggman, Hunter J, Denzel Crocker
  • Annoyed by: Dib Membrane, The Men in Black
  • Opposes: Gods related to iron/steel and the Toxicity subhouse, Darkrai
  • Opposed by: Smaug, Bandit Keith
  • Pities: Mimikyu
  • Clefairy is a mysterious Pokemon initially found in Mt Moon. This pink fairy are rare and reclusive, sometimes seen chanting and dancing over a giant Moon Stone or other possibly space rocks. They are considered adorable and are in high demand for a pet, but their rarity makes it difficult to fill this command.
  • Along with Mew, Clefairy and its evolutionary family were the first to know the move Metronome. This move chooses a random move, which can be almost any move in the game. Besides Metronome, Clefairy has a number of trickster-like moves. She has partnered with Katsuya Jonouchi as he's good with taking chances and gambles, so he works well with her. This pissed off Bandit Keith something fierce as he's already had enough on one cheater-busting user of luck.
  • Claims to be the original Fairy Pokemon, and the moment Fairy types were introduced her line's typing was changed from Normal to Fairy type. She no longer has to worry about Fighting types, and has gained a number of resistances. Though this leads her to steer clear of any iron or steel deities and the Toxicity sub-house. Already living in a mountainous range and immune to Dragon type attacks, she sometimes loiters into Smaug's dominion which pisses him off something fierce.
  • She was meant to be Ash's partner, but Pikachu was chosen instead leading to it becoming the mascot of the franchise. Somewhat jealous of this and Pikachu, but doesn't have any real hard feelings towards him. There was a manga where Clefairy was the lead in a slapstick shonen, however that was a male Clefairy who the pantheon's Clefairy doesn't care much for due to his crass attitude.
  • The mild jealousy she has for Pikachu, and being a fellow Fairy-type Pokemon, led her to sympathize with Mimikyu due to her deep mascot envy. On the other side she has a rivalry with Jigglypuff as they're both cute, pink Gen 1 fairy types who evolve with a Moon Stone. However like Pikachu its a Friendly Rivalry.
  • As with all FAIRIES, Denzel Crocker wants to capture her. He wishes to somehow harness her Metronome, but learning she could learn Healing Wish and have Wish as an egg move? He got a giant butterfly net and caught her off-guard. She proceeded to show that she's not a FAIRY! GOD! PARENT! and doesn't even have wings by using Meteor Mash and causing him to fly off.
  • The Cleffa line appears to be a race of aliens that ended up on Earth. Some believe this suggests Pokemon come from space, but beings like the Weather Trio or Creation Trio makes it more likely the Cleffa line are just aliens who happen to be Pokemon as well. As friendly aliens they like E.T, and as Pokemon aliens they work well with Beheeyem.
  • Occasionally steals some technology in hopes of making a UFO, but doesn't bother when learning she can just ask to go to space. She has been pestered by Dib because of his conspiracy theorist personality and wanting to prove his crazy theories/that he's not crazy has tried to capture her. Since she's not an evil alien he doesn't mean any real harm, but it is annoying for her. She gets annoyed whenever the Men in Black investigate her as well.
  • Though the two annoy her, she does not hate them. Asides from Team Rocket annoying it and Ghetsis making himself an enemy of all Pokemon due to not even seeing them as sentient and his overall Hate Sink behavior, she really doesn't like Cyrus since Team Galactic wants alien Pokemon like Clefairy to further their research and Cyrus' plan of recreating the universe. And Hunter J tries to poach her due to her rarity.
  • Has some sort of connection to the Moon. Her kind evolves into Clefable using a Moon Stone, they were originally found living in Mt Moon which is the sight of frequent meteor falls and have been found chanting over a giant Moon Stone. It is unclear if they originate from the Moon itself, but the species venerates it. She is close to Lunatone due to being a living meteorite themed after the Moon, however it is unclear if there is any further relationship.
  • Due to being deities related to the moon, she feels empowered and at peace in the presence of Tyrande Whisperwind and Princess Luna. She also gets along with the lunar rabbit Reisen Udongein Inaba. On the flip side Dr Eggman destroying half the Moon has made himself an enemy of Clefairy for life. Darkrai's own relationship with the moon and the type differences between the two put them at odds with each other, but much less than Dr Eggman.
