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][up] Whether reality itself is a dream or not, the aesop is still there and the series explores it. I added that paragraph to show that. Just because the later episodes add more Worldbuilding to the series doesn't make the aesop any less meaningful.

[up]Welcome! Yep, that's what this thread is primarily for; go right on ahead.

Realised that I should unpack Nokama's folder (Are we all okay with both of these?)...

Text to be added to the Treasures main page (in place of '. Current' between 'the artifacts within' and 'efforts are focused'):

'; as such, in order to ensure that any research done is ethical, is in line with the Pantheon's interests as a whole as opposed to just the Foundation's and incorporates the expertise of relevant members of the Pantheon, Turaga Whenua, selected for the role as a result of his personal integrity and his one-time position as an Archivist in his own universe, has been placed in charge of all research efforts, which are currently'

Folder to be added to the Academy's Faculty page:

Chemical Engineering and Linguistics: Nokama, Goddess of Precursor Heroes

  • Symbol: Her Staff Of Office, her Trident◊
  • Alignment: Neutral Good
  • Teaching two disciplines of such a disparate nature might be seen as odd to some but Nokama is uniquely suited to both:
    • As a Matoran in Metru Nui, Nokama served as a Teacher in the Schools of Ga-Metru, where she was given the awards 'Innovative Protodermis Purification' for improvements that she made to the design of Ga-Metru's Protodermis purification process and 'Exemplary Teacher' for excellent teaching generally.
    • She bears the Noble Kanohi Rau, Noble Mask of Translation, which allows her to decipher any written language of her own universe and, now enhanced by the Pantheon's latent energies, the multiverse at large.

...and that, unlike the others, the Kanohi Vahi needs to have support to be placed in the Treasures:

The Kanohi Vahi (The Legendary Mask of Time)

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

I'd still like some advice on where in the GUAG to put the Turaga; they only wish to aid the organisation in an advisory capacity and explicitly do not want to be part of its command structure, so I'm struggling to find a place for them.

  • There are yet others whom she's drawn the attention of: Lightning Farron, Black Cat, Emma Frost, Dr. Liara T'Soni, and Palutena.
    • Jim Raynor sometimes feels lonely around her, reminded of a scientist he helped and had to leave behind by the name of Dr. Ariel Hanson.
    • Sasuke notes that Burroughs sounded like one of his teammates back when he formed Hebi/Taka: the only female there by the name of Karin.
  • Has noted that Utsuho Reiuji, in the Subterranean Animism story, had the distinction of prefixing each of her spell cards with klaxons while the text "☢ Caution !! ☢" flares on-screen to the player.
  • As fellow AIs on the side of humanity, Burroughs gets along with like-minded fellows such as The Machine, EDI, TRON, and Yui. On the flip side, given that they're vying for superiority over humans, Burroughs opposes the Grand United Alliance of Machines.
  • "Congratulations on reaching the end of this profile!"

@Master Hero on Worf; Did you know that Dr. Viktor is voiced by Michael Dorn? With that in mind, I think they would be at least somewhat weirded out by each other.

Also, Xingo's relationships are still pretty barren. Any suggestions are much appreciated!

  • Portfolio: A Half-Dressed Cartoon Animal wearing White Gloves, a Nigh-Invulnerable, seemingly limitless shapeshifter who operates entirely on cartoon logic and can pull any object out of thin air, Type 2 omnipotent, a screwy and very powerful trickster who escaped from the TV
  • Domains: Cartoons, Trickery
  • Allies: Lucifer
  • Enemies: Judge Doom
  • Opposed By: Ben and Gwen Tennyson
  • Xingo first came into being when Ben Tennyson was still only ten years old. Ben, Gwen, and Max were on a trip to the Grand Canyon when the TV started acting up. Frustrated at missing the Xingo Show marathon, Ben went Upgrade to fix it. When lightning struck the satellite dish, Xingo himself popped out of the TV.
    • Despite being brought into the "normal" reality, Xingo still operated entirely on cartoon logic. He was nigh-invulnerable, capable of seemingly unlimited shapeshifting, capable of pulling any object out of thin air, and was pretty much omnipotent. Not only that, but he loved pulling 'pranks,' and was completely incapable of distinguishing between what is harmless fun and actually harmful.
    • In niche circumstances, Xingo is actually capable of temporarily transferring his power to others. Presumably, this happened when lightning struck Ben as he was holding Xingo. This is what ultimately allowed Ben to defeat him. Frustrated and scared straight, Xingo retreated back into the TV. To this day, Ben maintains that he is no longer a fan of Xingo or his show. Gwen, however, was never a fan of it to begin with.
  • For years, Ben and Gwen thought they had heard the last of Xingo. That is, until he finally ended up catching up with them in the Pantheon. As it turns out, the only thing that could get Xingo to come out of the TV again was an offer of godhood from Lucifer himself. Lucifer seemed to think that Xingo's antics and sheer power would be more than beneficial to his cause. Nowadays, Xingo proudly serves Lucifer under the GUAC Morningstar Battalion. While some of Lucifer's ideals feel iffy to him sometimes, Xingo still ultimately agrees with his mission in the grand scheme of things. Lucifer also lets him do whatever he wants, so he gets major brownie points from Xingo for that.
  • Xingo is practically the living embodiment of everything Judge Doom hates, being a wacky toon with nearly unlimited power to boot. The sentiment is definitely mutual. Xingo considers Judge Doom to be a massive hypocrite. He also greatly fears the Dip, believing it to be one of the few things that can truly defeat him.
  • Xingo's species has become a matter of debate amongst the Pantheon. Some deities think he's a fox, but others argue that the name "Xingo" is close to "dingo," so he must be a dingo. Xingo's response? "I'm just a Xingo!"

Gosh, I've just realized that this could possibly be my most controversial ascension yet. Just take one look at the comments on this and you'll see what I mean. Oh well, we always keep an eye out for vandals anyways, don't we?

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
  • Thumbs-Up: 3 (Master Hero, Fasoman, Wootzits)
  • 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.
  • Monika is one of the few gods not from real life that has a Twitter account.
  • Many gods with abusive parents, depression, self-harm, or any combination of the three reach out to most of the girls that are in the club. While they have a limited ability to do much of anything, they appreciate the kindness and love all the same.

Only one more thumbs-up to go.

Yanmega, Goddess of Monster Dragonflies (The Ogre Darner Pokémon)

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/469yanmega.png
  • House: Insects
  • Rank: Lesser Goddess
  • Symbol: Her tail
  • Alignment: True Neutral
  • Gender: Female
  • Ability: Speed Boost
  • Moveset: Bug Buzz, Air Slash, Ancient Power, Protect
    • Z-Move: Savage Spin-Out
  • Portfolio: Scary, gigantic dragonflies, fragile special attacker, Bug- and Flying-Type, generating shock waves through wing-flapping, based on the meganeura
  • Domains: Dragonflies, Girth, Flight, Agility, Power, Antiquity
  • Allies: Team Rocket (especially Jessie), N, Hareta, Scyther, Heracross, Pinsir, Beedrill, Vespiquen, Volcarona, Florges, The Pikmin
  • Rivals: Scolipede
  • Enemies: Ghetsis, Pokémon Hunter J, Lysandre, Ripto
  • Opposed by: Misty, Dark-, Psychic-, Fighting- and Grass-Types (notably Chesnaught and Celebi), Donkey, Diddy and Dixie Kong, Link, Mario and Sonic the Hedgehog
  • Opposes: Rock-types
  • Object of affection to: Sparx
  • High Priestess: Megaguirus
  • Looking like something that came out of a sci-fi/horror Z-movie, Yanmega is a dragonfly-like Pokémon that stands at a staggering 6'03 (1.9 meters); she was the largest Bug-Type Pokémon in existence when she debuted (she has since been surpassed and is now at fourth place... which is rather horrifying to think about). Her considerable girth, frightening appearance and ferociousness in combat convinced the higher gods that she was worthy of having a position in the Pantheon.
  • Yanma can only achieve this form by training while wielding a power that channels ancient times. This gives her some common ground with Fossil Pokémon; however she avoids them because all of them are Rock-Types, which can easily squash her.
  • Has a rivalry with Scolipede because he has the title of "largest bug in Pokémon", which used to belong to her (Buzzwole and Golisopod are also larger than her, but they came later and are still smaller than Scolipede).
  • It's been noted that her name would sound kind of funny were she ever to be bestowed with a Mega Evolution.
  • Is yet another bug for Misty to be terrified of, which is made worse by her gigantic size and all-around terrifying appearance, not to mention some of the things her species is known to do in battle (biting foes' heads off and flapping her wings to cause critical internal damage to them).
  • Scientific records usually rave about her powerful jaws, however deities have noticed that she is rather pathetic in physical combat and far more powerful using energy-based attacks from a distance.
  • Jessie was happy to see a Yanmega ascend to the Pantheon since she wielded one while chasing Ash and Pikachu through Sinnoh, and occasionally brings food to her temple. In return, Yanmega sometimes aids Team Rocket in trying to capture Pikachu. Ash and Pikachu have learned to be wary of her because of this. But even with her considerable firepower, it still doesn't go over well for Team Rocket, and she ends up being blasted off with them.
  • N and Hareta love her like any other Pokémon, but wish she wouldn't help Team Rocket. On the upside, she appears to dislike the other evil teams. Like all Pokémon, she hates Ghetsis and J on principle for mistreating Pokémon and viewing them as tools for their ambitions. She obviously has no reason to approve of Lysandre's mass extinction goals either. She's indifferent towards Cyrus and, ironically, Giovanni (her loyalty is to Jessie, and to a certain extent James and Meowth, but she doesn't see a reason to be loyal to their boss).
  • Yanmega, like most Pokemon, isn't actively malicious, but she can be very violent and dangerous. Deities who tread carefully around Yanmega include the Kongs, Link, Mario and Sonic, as they have had to deal with monstrous dragonflies attacking them in some adventures.
  • Pokémon that find her particularly fearsome include Celebi and Chesnaught, as they take quadruple damage from Bug Buzz and Air Slash respectively.
  • The Pikmin perceive her in a better light because of the Nectarious Dandelfly that gave them precious nectar. She is revered by them to a certain extent. She has noticed this and intervenes to protect them whenever they or their temple are being threatened.
  • Yanmega has been seen showing deference to Florges and carrying out requests from her. This goes back to the partnership the two species had in order to cure a sick Floette (Florges' previous stage). Pinsir and Beedrill were also involved in this.
  • The tenants of the House of Dragons think she's interesting. They joke that a dragonfly of her size isn't a dragonfly anymore, but a downright dragon. They think it's a waste that she's not Dragon-Type. She can't learn Dragon-Type moves through any method, though.
  • Sparx finds himself infatuated with her, against his better judgement (considering she'd most likely eat him if she was hungry and he happened to be around). When Spyro pointed out to him that she's way too big for him, Sparx replied that he likes women with meat on their exoskeletons. Yanmega has yet to notice his existence.
  • She wasn't amused to hear about Ripto scaring baby dragonflies to put his dastardly plans in motion one time, so she has committed to fight him as revenge. She has agreed to work alongside Spyro to achieve this (much to Sparx' delight).

4th Day. Black Shadow has 2 [tup]. Somebody wanna speed this up?

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

In regards to Lei Wulong, you can add Terry Bogard as one of his allies, since Lei would remind him of Hon-Fu, a Jackie Chan Clone which is also a policeman.
