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.

Reposting Black Shadow because that's in the rules with 2[tup].

[up]By the way, you never finished that sentence like five pages ago.

Black Shadow. God of Dark Villain Outfits (The Emperor of Brutality)

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/9ada1c99a2c51b3e371da3afa2cd0ea3.png
  • Theme Song: Theme of Black Shadow (F-Zero GX)
  • Intermediate God
  • Symbol: The Black Bull (his racing ship)
  • Alignment: Lawful Evil
  • Domains: Evil, Shadows, Speed
  • Portfolio: Obvious Villain, Stereotypical Bad Guy Name, Black-Wearing Evildoer (Although the Black Looks More Like Purple), Infamously Cheating A.I.
  • Herald: Blood Falcon.
  • Allies: Several members of the Council of Shadows, Bowser, Ridley, Dark Link, Megatron, Master Xehanort.
  • Enemies: Captain Falcon, Viewtiful Joe, Batman, Ryu, most of Batman's Rogues Gallery, Ghost Rider, all good-aligned Kamen Riders, most Autobots, several gamer deities and mortals.
  • Rivals: Beelzemon, Darth Vader, The Green Biker Dude.
  • Respects: Norio Wakamoto.
  • It's not exactly clear how Black Shadow managed to ascend into the Pantheon, as he didn't appear to have been observed or under consideration for any seat. It's believed that the Council of Shadows may have pulled a few strings to allow it to happen, but the reasons behind that are still unknown. At the very least, he appears to know Ganondorf well.
    • He wants to kill Captain Falcon in front of several viewers, which is why he eagerly awaits for the next divine racing tournament in order to execute his evil plan.
  • Many deities recognize him as the guy who got Falcon Punched by Captain Falcon along with the whole galaxy. He claims that this event only happened in an alternate timeline, and that it wasn't even the Falcon Punch that ultimately defeated him, but no one seems to listen.
    • In any case, he respects this specific version of him, in particular his voice.
    • Due to both of them having the same name and voice, Black Shadow suspects that Ryu might be related to Ryu Suzaku, possibly even the same person.
  • Black Shadow didn't take much time to take over the racetracks of the Pantheon after ascending. He's a tough one to catch up, as his machine, the Black Bull, is known for being one of the fastest and strongest machines in F-Zero.
    • To make things worse, Black Shadow can be a scarily competent pilot, sometimes a bit too competent, with many suspecting that he might be cheating somehow (which wouldn't be surprising). Black Shadow credits his skill to the "Creators" of his universe, whatever those may be.
    • His skill has actually become infamous among mortals who attempt to challenge him, especially after leading one of them to a legendary rant.
    • He heard about Darth Vader's past as a pod-racing champion and thus challenged the Sith Lord to a race at the House of Travel in order to test the skill of one of the Pantheon's most famous deities. As they fiercely raced against each other, an "accident" that was definitely not intentional on Black Shadow's part caused both vehicles to crash, ending the race with no winner. Black Shadow admits that Vader is not a completely worthless racer and plans to crush him next time.
  • Black Shadow has shown interest in working with the Decepticons, believing that both him and Megatron can benefit from technology that the other possesses.
  • Sometimes confused with Batman due to looking a lot like him, which probably explains why he keeps getting attacked by The Joker and Co every now and then.
    • Batman himself has kept a close eye on Black Shadow, believing that the mysterious Black Shadow Group led by him might bring trouble to the Pantheon. The Dark Knight is already prepared for him though, having attached a Tracking Device to the Black Bull in order to monitor Black Shadow's movements and upgrading his Batmobile so that it may keep up with the Black Bull's power.
  • He is also sometimes confused with Satan, which is not strange at all as the Pantheon already has many Satans and Black Shadow wouldn't look out of place among them.
    • Not that Black Shadow doesn't have any ties with the literal underworld, as he is subservient to his universe's own version of Satan, Deathborn. This alone has put him on the sights of the Ghost Rider, one of the few able to keep up with him.
  • Suspected to have a connection with Master Xehanort due to his Heartless-like outfit and shared magical ability to create Evil Knockoffs of other heroes.
  • "WATASHI WA SHINEN. SHINENZUUU!" - Black Shadow about his undying self and dreams, circa 2003
    • "FARUCON PANCHI!" - Captain Falcon about the above sentence, circa 2003

Who best fits Most Definitely Not Accompanying Us? I say Gosalyn Mallard since she apparently does this on a regular basis. The only other example I know, Jade Chan, is already ascended alongside Tohru.

Ren Hakuryuu, God of Blinding Revenge is in both Logic and Vengeance Archetypes. I assume they were supposed to be moved to the latter as opposed to being in both, right?

Also, I noticed Albert Wesker and Charles zi Britannia share The Social Darwinist? I think a rework was planned for the latter. Thoughts?

More on Suzaku Castle. Thinking about doing the Kanzuki Estate next. Any suggestions for a trope?

Suzaku Castle, Divine Domain Of Rooftop Battles (Vermilion Bird Castle when translated, 朱雀城, Suzakujō, Dojo Rooftop, Ryu's Stage)

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/comb30112017093244.jpg
Suzaku Castle, reimagined in Street Fighter V (top) and Street Fighter III: Third Strike (bottom)
  • Potential Houses: Stages
  • Theme Song: The Street Fighter II, Street Fighter IV and Street Fighter V versions of Ryu's Theme, Kobu from Third Strike
  • An abandoned castle located somewhere in Japan, the dojo serving as Ryu's training ground, the dojo's rooftop being 10 meters (or 32 feet) from the ground.
  • Symbols: The breakable Fūrinkazan signs on either side.
  • Alignment: True Neutral
  • Domains: Martial Arts, Scenery, Japanese Architecture
  • Sacred To: Ryu (as it is his training grounds and temple), and by extension, Ken Masters and Gouken
  • Caretaker: Senzo
  • Suzaku Castle is quite possibly the most iconic of the Street Fighter stages, and now, has a place in the Pantheon, after beating out The Rooftop and The Black Orchid HQ Rooftop for the position.
    • You don't fight on the rooftop of the castle itself, per se, but rather the rooftop of the dojo, with the palace itself being prominent in the background. And try not to fall. It's a 10 meter (or 32 foot) drop to the ground.
    • For the deities who are artists, Suzaku Castle is a popular setting for them to paint, the grounds themselves being tended to by Senzo, originally the groundsman for Gouken's dojo, now the groundsman for Suzaku Castle.

Doki Doki Literature Club!, Goddesses of Surprising Creepiness

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/ddlc.png
From left to right: Sayori, Yuri, Monika, Natsuki
  • Proposed House: Emotion
  • Rank: Quasidieties. Monika is an Overdeity, but only in her domain.
  • Symbol: A book with a heart on it interspersed with glitches, blood, and other grisly imagery.
  • Theme Song: Okay, Everyone! Also Sayonara and Your Reality.
  • Alignment: Sayori is Chaotic Good, Natsuki is Chaotic Neutral, Yuri is Lawful Neutral, and Monika is Lawful Good but is actually Lawful Evil.
  • Portfolio: Moe, Surprise Creepy, No Fourth Wall, Psychological Horror, Ominous Visual Glitch.
  • Domains: Cuteness, Literature, Horror, Romance, Meta.
  • Followers: The Squiddles, GIFfany (for just Monika).
  • Allies: Each other. Flowey the Flower for just Monika.
  • Rivals: Also each other, for the affection of the protagonist except Monika. Actually, just Monika.
  • Enemies: The Katawa Shoujo girls, kids (especially Dipper and Mabel Pines and The Human Child), people who are easily frightened. Through no fault of their own though.
  • Special Relationship: (Insert Name Here).
  • An oddly clean part of the House of Fear, anyone who enters this part will see a warning screen about the experience being not for children or for those easily disturbed. The traveler is then thrusted into the shoes of an unseen protagonist joining a literature club with a bunch of cute girls at a Japanese-style high school.
  • While no one knows what the people coming in experienced, everyone who was asked invariably muttered a name under their breath: Monika.
  • Even though they'll gladly accept whoever visits them, they feel strangely empty without their original love interest, (Insert Name Here). When asked about it, (Insert Name Here) simply blushed with a terrified expression on their face then walked away.
  • Due to its odd reputation, the Literature Club has its fair share of enemies. The Katawa Shoujo girls don't like them because high schools like where they came from shouldn't be horrifying. Kids and skittish people throughout the Pantheon are all scared to death of the place. Dipper, Mabel, and the Human Child in particular are uneasy about it due to the company that one of them keeps, namely Monika.
  • When offered to join the Yandere Squad, Monika refused for two reasons. She didn't believe that she was doing anything wrong and she can't escape the confines of the Literature Club.
  • Flowey and Monika meet with each other every so often. While both of them deny it, passersby have heard them talk about how they are the only ones that matter from the worlds that they came from. They also seem to enjoy exchanging ideas about spooky faces that they can pull off to scare the crap out of people.
  • A lot of the mean-spirited gods like to make jokes to the girls about unfortunate events that happened to them while they were mortal (ie "How's it hanging?", "Knife to see ya!", and "You look like you've got a crick in your neck.") They don't exactly know what they mean by these jokes, but they annoy them extremely.
  • Even though Monika can't go to the House of Music (or any other House for that matter), she has expressed interest in playing the piano. Passersby will occasionally hear echoes of a piano in the halls.

Repost, should I add any more stuff before I add this in?

If no one isn't using Big Fancy House, then I'd lIke to reserve it.

[down] For the Kanzuki Estate...although Big Fancy House is a total understatement, according to the SF Wiki:

The manga depicts the Kanzuki family's estate as so large, it doesn't just have its own rivers, mountains, and savannas, it has its own climate as well. Even though it's in the middle of Tokyo, visitors don't arrive by car, they arrive by chartered plane and land at the private airstrip near the mansion. The estate also has its own train station (a green and red sign can be seen on the top of a building, where a train is moving). The Kanzukis' enormous swimming pool has a yacht with a pool on the deck in it, like in Karin's stage from Street Fighter Alpha 3.

[down]X2 Looks that way, seeing as how the game used the descriptions from the Manga into the stage.

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/gold_and_blue.png
Left: Blue Beetle, Right: Booster Gold
  • Lesser God
  • Symbol: A blue beetle or a gold star
  • Alignment: Chaotic Good
  • Portfolios: Those Two Guys, Butt Monkeys of the superhero world, Color Characters, Straight Man And Wiseguy (for both), Heterosexual Life-Partners
  • Domains: Good, Chaos, Time (Gold), Insects (Beelte)
  • Allies: Virtually all DC Comics superheroes, especially Bruce Wayne/Batman, Billy Batson/Shazam, Dinah Laurel Lance/Black Canary, Kara Zor-L/Power Girl and J'onn J'onnz/Martian Manhunter, The Doctor
  • Rivals:
  • Enemies: Nox
  • It wasn't too long ago that such a nominations would have been laughed out of the Pantheon. Ted Kord is a typical Gadgeteer Genius not uncommon on his world who has been around since The Silver Age of Comic Books. Booster Gold is a 25th Century Fish out of Temporal Water who hoped to make a name of himself at an earlier time period. Neither of them has had memorable storylines, but that changed when they entered the Justice League International. While some people complained at the two changing into Lighter and Softer versions of themselves, the two turned out to be a memorable pairing. The only reason that they haven't entered was they were not sure what position to take. With many of the more popular ones taken, they were left representing those who think their friendship is Ho Hey.
    • Their temple is marked at the front with a banner saying "We're Not Gay!" It only increased the speculation.
  • Surprisingly enough, they have met an impressive list of superheroes thanks to the popularity of the book. Their excitement for their ascension on the other hand... has been mixed. The martian still holds a grudge over the two stealing his favorite cookies. Batman greeted them but has hidden his disdain for the two. And Black Canary handed over her outfit, stating that the two made it look uncool.
  • When the Doctor found out that there was another time traveler entering the Pantheon, he was delighted to meet them. That is until he did some research on Booster Gold... which caused him to sigh deeply. He proceeded to give the two a lengthy discussion on what they can and can't do with time travel in the Pantheon. Booster objected, stating he has done a good job with the future while accusing the Doctor of hypocrisy. After all, the Doctor stole the Tardis just like he stole a time machine. After which the Doctor decided to let the two go. It wasn't as if he could keep them out of trouble.
  • The two were approached by Nox, who stated he needed help him Set Right What Once Went Wrong. Not ones to dismiss a person in need, the duo obliged to help him. Once they showed him their time machine, Nox tossed them aside and took it for himself, hoping that he could save his family. Unfortunately, Gold accidentally told him the wrong button, and Vox was sent much further into the past than he anticipated. It took a quick trip from Hiro to get him back, but it's unlikely Nox would rely on those two to ever help him again.
  • Exclusive to Booster Gold:
    • DO NOT CALL HIM GREEN LANTERN!. He's not even green. That hasn't stopped Trollkaiger from plastering his image with the green superhero from time to time.
    • He was actually far worst at his job. He once entered the 20th century in order to come back home with fame and fortune. That changed when talked to many of the heroes there. He learned that most of them didn't care about the attention, only to do the right thing and help others. It was a concept he eventually learned to appreciate.
  • Exclusive to Blue Beetle:
    • Despite his aloof nature, he's actually a Ditzy Genius, with technology and wealth to rival that of Batman himself except with more wisecracking jokes. He has since mellowed down, though that is relative to Booster Gold. Nowadays, both of them play the Straight Man.

@ The Dukes of Hazzard: Potential allies with Mario Kart deities, considering their love for racing.

@ Booster Gold and Blue Beetle: Maybe you could add something about Blue Beetle's death at Maxwell Lord's hands. Also, you could use their antics to provide some commentary on how uptight and overly serious superheroes can get.

Here are some ideas for new deities:
  • Haruto Tsukishiro (Dream Walker and Anti-Escapism Aesop) - He can enter the dreams of others thanks to the red doors scattered all over the dreamscape. Upon exploring dreams, he helps dreamers solve their problems and explains that every once a while, they can use the dreamscape whenever they feel like getting away from it all.
  • Worf (I Am X, Son of Y) - He is proud of his heritage and uses it to command respect among Klingons.
  • Sota Mizushino (Pinball Protagonist, Supporting Protagonist or "Reading Is Cool" Aesop) - He could work for either trope. He doesn't affect the story in any meaningful way until the finale, he mostly watches from the sidelines while other Creators and Creations are more active and his story ultimately reaffirms his passion for art.
  • Yuu Haruna (Lead You Can Relate To and/or Lead Bassist) - Especially for the Millennial generation. Yuu spends most of his time in social networks, struggles with self-esteem issues and has no visible plans with the future. That changes when he meets Fuuka and becomes a successful bassist.

What do you think?

@Patrick Consider making the Dukes friends with Dominic Toretto.

[up] I never imagined Sota being ascended, but the first one is ok. Supporting Protagonist is reserved and i think the third trope is taken.

I don't have that much of a strong opinion on the other three, but the first two were approved AFAIK.

Huh, I'm kind of surprised that The Omnipotent isn't taken, at least if the database is to be believed. Well, here goes my proposal:

Xingo, God of Omnipotence

Yeah, I know the Ben 10 reboot is a base breaker, but I'm sure we don't discriminate as long as the source material isn't overly controversial and the character actually fits the trope, and I do think Xingo does.

Chatot goes up today. What else should I add to Nice Holystone?

Chatot, God of Quavers (The Music Note Pokemon)

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/250px_441chatot_6.png
  • Votes: 2(Ferot Dreadnaught, Crownless Mimic)
  • Date of ascension: 2 December
  • House: Musical Compositions (House of Music)
  • Lesser God
  • Symbol: A microphone with a quaver symbol on it
  • Alignment: True Neutral
  • Ability: Keen Eye
  • Gender: Male
  • Moveset: Chatter, Hyper Voice, Uproar, Fly
    • Z-Move: Supersonic Strike
  • Portfolio: Glass Cannon, Music Is Eighth Notes, Linguistic Parrots, Copying Phrases, Make Me Wanna Shout, Blow You Away, Appeared In The Anime Before The Games, Specializes In Special Attack, Fragile Speedster
  • Domains: Mimicry, Sound, Parrots, Music, Linguistics
  • Followers: Amadeus Moderato, Mr Tik-Tok
  • Allies: Paulie, Murkrow, Ash Ketchum, The Flying Dutchman
  • On good terms with: The House of Language and Music
  • Interested in: The House of Speech
  • Enemies: Giovanni and Team Rocket, Cyrus, Hunter J, Janemba
  • Annoys: Black Manta, Jack Sparrow
  • Kept away from: Nonon Jakuzure, Kenji Kazama, Isaac Washington
  • Chatot is a relatively rare Pokemon. Though not impressive combat wise, it has a unique tongue that allows it to mimic any language, even being able to speak human languages. Its tongue is very similar to a human tongue, in fact. This is a survival trait that allows it to trick other Pokemon species into thinking that it is one of them.
  • The most noticeable feature of Chatot is that its head is based on the eighth note, or quaver, fitting its more musical abilities. It's even in the species name, the Music Note Pokemon. Because of his tongue, the House of Music has been using him to help repeat rhymes and songs as part of the creative process. You can usually find Chatot amusing himself with a microphone.
  • The only Pokemon who can know Chatter. Unlike other signature moves, it can't even be accessed through copying moves, Metronome or Sketch. This is likely due to the original mechanic the move had-you speak into a microphone, and the louder you are the higher this move has a chance to confuse the opponent. The pantheon is able to get around that by having someone shout as its about to have Chatot use Chatter, or the fact the games make sure it has a 100% chance of confusion nowadays.
  • As he can speak the languages of humans, other creatures and Pokemon, it makes him useful for understanding the many inhabitants of the House of Beast. Ended up partnering with Eliza Thornberry due to having the ability to talk to animals, as they make a good team in the field of interspecies linguistics. He also helps with translation in the House of Language.
  • When visiting the House of Beast, he usually goes for the Birds sub-house due to being a fellow avian. He became friends with fellow parrot Paulie, who is also skilled at copying human speech. Seems to like Murkrow as well, though it's more out of curiosity for his thefts and getting shiny items.
  • Not a Pirate Parrot, but seems at least open to the stereotype. It initially checked on Black Manta, but given how evil and dead serious he is this only made him angry and Chatot become disinterested. Decided to go after Jack Sparrow, though he was soon annoyed by the Pokemon's chattering. The Flying Dutchman however embraces the stereotype and seems fond of the Music Note Pokemon.
  • Due to the Chatot's expert at linguistics and ability to speak almost any language, both Giovanni and Hunter J think it'll sell well on the black market and are trying to poach the Pokemon. Janemba seems somewhat concerned due to his Verbal Weakness. Chatter's chance of confusion combined with chattering insults could majorly exploit his Kryptonite Factor.
  • Likes imitating sound-related things in general, which is why he spends a lot of time in the Houses of Voices and Speech. He has been kept away from Nonon Jakuzure since nobody wants him copying her cacophonic voice, and Kenji Kazama because of the damage it could do constantly being loud with Chatter. Also kept away from Isaac Washington to make sure he doesn't become a Fowl-Mouthed Parrot.
