Trope Pantheons Discussion

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 means the profile will have a one week waiting period.
  - For new and reworked deities, 4 is a 3 day waiting period.
  - 5 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 is a 3 day waiting period.
  - 4 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.

Joined the pantheon when he was reunited with his daughter in the afterlife and was finally given credit to the songs he wrote, but were stolen from his then-best friend. Many deities were moved to tears by his story and his song to his daughter, and as such he became the best representative to the title.
The good members of the Houses of Friendship and Family have the utmost pity and sympathy for him. In while he did leave his family for a career in music, he had every intention of coming back to his family but was murdered by his best friend. His best friend then proceeded to steal the songs he wrote,(and if some more sources are to believed he left to find more inspiration for his music and it was his childhood best friend.) but never gave him credit for them . For 96 years his friend would soak up in the fame and glory of his songs, while he would spend those years hated by his family, mocked and ridiculed in the afterlife, being in danger of being forgotten by his daughter, would spend every Dia de los Muertos trying to cross the bridge to see his daughter, and never suspected/knowing his best friend of being his murderer. He's been through a lot, but he was finally able to reunite with his daughter, accepted by his family, and got credit for his songs.
He didn't have the highest opinion of musicians for a while (understandably), but his love for music was renewed by his great-great grandson and his relationship with music and musicians was patched.

Hey it's my birthday today (21st). For my birthday i'd likes some ideas for some of the deities I have in my saNDBOX (https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Sandbox/Rinrinboss)

House: Thieves (House of Crime)
Intermediate God
Symbol: His beard, with smoldering incense in it

Domains: Piracy, Infamy, Intimidation, Legends, Swindling, Treachery, Beards
Followers: Captain Bonebeard, Captain Metalbeard, Ivar Forkbeard, Yellowbeard
Allies: Thaal Sinestro
On good terms with: Eric Cartman

Additional relationship with: Ben Grimm, Vandal Savage (supposed alternate identities), Ares
Enemies: Edward Newgate, The Straw Hats, Jack Sparrow, Arthur Curry, Ariel, King Triton, Smaug, the House of Justice in general, Davos Seaworth, Julius Caeser
Opposes: Jack the Ripper (one-sided)
Opposed by: Ned Flanders
Not much is concretely known about Edward Teach's early life, though it is presumed he was from Bristol, England. What is more well-known is his time as a pirate, the most iconic example of the The Golden Age of Piracy. His career began as a British privateer in War of the Spanish Succession, being unemployed and turning to piracy in the Caribbeans for money. He may not have been the baddest, nor the richest pirate, but his flair, talent in intimidation and attitude has led to being romanticized and admired centuries after his death.
According to Fantastic Four he was a legend inspired by Ben Grimm, as the crew as trying to get his buried treasure. Vandal Savage claims that he was Blackbeard once. It was awkward for a bit when the three were in a bar, but after being liquored up they had a moment of camaraderie. He then stole money from the both of them, to neither of their surprise. According to Percy Jackson and the Olympians he's the son of Ares, and has been imprisoned on Circe's island instead of dying in battle.
Probably the most iconic pirate, like how Al Capone is the most iconic gangster and Jack the Ripper the most iconic Serial Killer. Due to being such memorable criminals, there's competition on who is the most iconic criminal. Blackbeard ignores Jack since he doesn't think the killer has style, and is focused on competing with Capone. They even had a rap battle, of which Blackbeard lost. He intends to settle the score.
Teach was a shrewd and calculating leader who spurned the use of force, instead utilizing intimidation. He commanded the vessels of his crews with the consent of his crews and there's no account of him harming or murdering those he held captive. He's determined to keep it that way in the pantheon. Because of how he utilized fear, Sinestro felt he was a potential candidate for the Sinestro Corps. Blackbeard is honored and hopes to prove the universe's greatest pirate with fear manifested in a lantern ring.
As one of the most iconic pirates, he is considered an enemy to the House of Justice. King Triton also opposes him, as does former smuggler Davos Seaworth. He's not that worried about them, but he is worried about Julius Caeser. He knows what he does to pirates. He's also learned what Smaug does to those that dare steal even a single piece of his treasure.
Upon his ascension, he realized there were a lot of pirate gods who might compete for the title of best pirate. As such, he considers all other pirates rivals to him. While some he gets along with, others he thinks bring shame upon pirate kind. He doesn't like Black Manta, less so because of being a modern pirate (pirates have always been seen as ruthless and cutthroat) but because he murdered a child.
To almost no-one's surprise, he exists as a pirate in One Piece. He partly inspired Whitebeard, but the Blackbeard of that universe is the treacherous Marshall D Teach. He comes off as friendly despite being a dick and having no real sense of loyalty, and wields the Dark-Dark Devil Fruit. He will step on anyone to achieve his goals, and doesn't understand grudges. Particularly charismatic in this form, possessing an Übermensch personality. The Straw Hats hate him, particularly Monkey D Luffy and Portgas D Ace given his hand in the latter's death.
Often treated even more villainous than he actually was, though a lot of this was trying to come off as more ferocious. He's said to have said to his first mate "If I don't kill one of you every now and then, you'll forget who I am". Said to be a voodoo sorcerer who lived long after his supposed death, and seeks the Fountain of Youth.
Proud of being considered a Chaotic Evil ruthless pirate, but sometimes he's more lighthearted. Pretty chummy in Assassins' Creed, piracy being more of a job for him. He's also a Rider-class Servant who acts like a buffoon though ends up as the Butt-Monkey anyway. He retains the lewdness pirates are often stereotyped with, having gotten some Otaku traits over the centuries. Fond of kids as well.
Apparently he's part of the Jury of the Dead, working with the Devil. Who turns out to be Ned Flanders. Needless to say, the real Ned Flanders is disturbed by this and refuses to associate with the pirate. It's said Blackbeard and his crew used sulfur pots to simulate Fire and Brimstone Hell, which he came out sauntering and proud of his endurance. This earned him some respect from the House of Demons, which has only increased by being able to haggle and drink with them without a hint of fear.
Impressed by Eric Cartman's attempt to bring the romanticized pirate mindset to Somalian pirates. It didn't work in the end, but props for trying.

Opposes: Hiltz, Cyrus, Ghestis, Lysandre
The Backdraft Organization, also known as Backdraft Group is a shadowy criminal syndicate that rules unsanctioned battles. They are ruled by the mysterious "Committee of Seven", with an unnamed Count residing over it. They oppose the Zoid Battle Commission as a matter of principle, and use their own Judges, called Dark Judges, to hijack legal Zoid battles.
They win over competitors by offering very large amounts of prize money, usually measured in multiples of regular prize money. However, in return, participants that lose must gave up all their Zoids. Teams that do not participate in battles are often attacked anyway, to show that the Backdraft always get their way.
The Backdraft Group also have some connections with the most notable criminals from the House of Crime. It helps that some are very rich and like battles without rules.
The Blitz Team are their major enemies, given that they're always (but not that much) ruining their domination plans. Bit Cloud is the worst, because of his powerful Liger Zero.
- But especially Major Polta, which avoids Leena at any cost. And considering his previous encounter with her...
- The Backdraft Group also hates Brad due to his "supposed" betrayal, which costed their Shadow Fox.
Considering that they're allies of the Blitz Team, the fact that the Backdraft Group are in war with the GUAG is not surprising:
- They're not amused with Domon Kasshu, especially after he discovered that they'll do everything to win, which includes cheating.
- They also have a strong dislike of Suzaku Kururugi, as they remind them of Bit Cloud, especially when he uses his Lancelot Albion.
- Then there's Heero Yuy and his Wing Zero...
Most members of the Backdraft Group, like Sanders, Stoller, Pierce and Vega are in good terms with the Blitz Team, as well as their allies.
Phoenix Wright seems to have a familiarity with Stoller, as he reminds the lawyer of Simon Blackquill, one of his rival prosecutors.
When he is not working, Vega also have a good friendship with Tyson Granger, Syaoran Li, Spike, because of their similarities. It helps that the latter is also a literal dragon, reminding Vega of his Berserk Fury.
The Backdraft Group are sometimes compared to the Team Rocket, both evil organizations whose only goal is to use and exploit Mons to gain wealth and power. Which makes them great enemies with Ash Ketchum, Misty, Brock, Red, Calem, Serena.
- Although they're still openly opposing other criminal organizations, like Team Galactic and Team Flare, given their plans of world destroying. Which is not good to their dirty business.
- Sometimes the Backdraft Group hires Pokemon Hunter J in their operations. It helps that she looks like a Backdraft member when she wears her shades.
The Dark Judge is annoyed by Double-D, likely because of his voice actor, only more annoying. The relationship is one-sided from the judge's part, given that Double-D thinks that he is funny.
Sometimes, when they're not trying to steal zoids, the Backdraft Group can kidnap some people for a quick buck. Too bad said plans are also foiled by another saviors outside of the Blitz Team.
- They tried to kidnap Lan Hikari and bribed him to hack a site. It was somehow easy, considering that Major Polta sounds similar to Lan's father Yuichirou, pretending that Yuichirou was kidnapped by the Backdraft Group. Their plan was foiled by Megaman.EXE as well as the other Megaman, The Maverick Hunters, Geo Stelar, Vent and Aile.
- They also tried to kidnap Arthuria Pendragon in a way of getting paid by Gilgamesh. At first the plan was successful, but them Shirou, Rin, Ilya, Sakura and their servants saved their ally and a big battle ensued. To put the cherry on the top, the Backdraft Group gets blasted off by an EXCALIBUR!!
- Thanks to said kidnappings, they're targeted by the Phantom Thieves. It's unknown if they're going to steal their hearts, albeit only Vega, Stoller, Sanders and Pierce are the only exceptions.
The other Zoids deities are aware of the Backdraft Group's bad reputation and declared war against them. That said, they're in good terms only with Vega, Stoller, Sanders and Pierce.
- Even though the group opposes Van and his friends, they still draw the line towards Hiltz and his Omnicidal Mania. Likely because of the same deal with Cyrus and Lysandre. Which is not helped that Hiltz sounds like Bit, if he was Drunk with Power.
This battle has been taken over by the Backdraft Group!

So Mugging the Monster is not taken. I have a rather strange suggestion.

Eddie Low, a Serial Killer infamous around Liberty City for murdering dozens of unsuspecting pedestrians and hasn't been caught by the authorities. He eventually stumbles upon Niko, and while they start somewhat on good terms, Eddie later flips out after Niko gets fed up with him and tries to murder him. Big mistake and Eddie days because of it.

Seems pretty good to me. The unusual part is that Eddy is a secondary character from a Stranger Encounter, but he is surprisingly fleshed out that i guess his inclusion would be worthwhile.

Recently, there has been an influx of incidents involving mushi—spiritual entities that are connected to nature that can normally only be seen by special individuals. These mushi have been causing problem as of late, specifically in the House of Nature due to the mystical ways mushi sustain and exist in general which, unfortunately, causes mostly negative consequences for those who get tangled with them. While these incidents weren't too large at first, many complaints soon arrived once mushi began to escape their habitats and started causing problems in other Houses. With very few people being knowledgeable about them or those who do having no time to help out, the Court of the Gods decided to ascend a mushishi—a person who can see mushi. That's when Ginko arrives, chosen due to his reputation as an expert on mushi and helping whoever he comes across that have been tormented by them. Thanks to him, the number of mushi incidents have dropped due to Ginko being able to solve the problems before they become too severe or widespread.
- Ginko began to investigate the reason why so many mushi have been emerging and moving into populated areas. He then had a vision of the river of light where all mushi originate from and witnessed it was being consumed by some sort of darkness. Ginko soon realized that the reason the mushi were migrating to other areas of the Pantheon was because this darkness poisons mushi. Ginko confirmed his theory after finding some dead mushi across various different areas around the House but discovered one thing in common with all of them: they were above the Shadow Monster's tunnels. The mushishi immediately came to a horrific conclusion the darkness was the Shadow Monster and as its tunnels grow, the more it consumes the light river—and if mushi are going to other Houses just to escape from the Shadow Monster, that gives an idea on how much those tunnels have already grown.
- In truth, this vision was actually given by the Life Entity who wished the warn Ginko and the rest of the Pantheon of the Shadow Monster's new plan and its consequences. Once word reached out, there have been attempts from all Alliances (except the GUAD of course) to prevent these tunnels from lengthening. Even the bad guys don't wish to be destroyed.
After that fiasco, Ginko was a bit surprised on how hectic the Pantheon was compared to his rather mellow and depressing adventures back in Japan. Like usual, he's going around selling whatever mushi-related he finds. Crazy Dave actually helps him by pointing to potential customers who wish to buy these sort of things.
He doesn't know his own past, actually. All he truly knows about himself is the Mystical White Hair he has is related to a mushi. In truth, Ginko was afflicted by a mushi known as Ginko, which his caretaker was transformed into to save his life but left him with amnesia and changing his hair's color into white, his only remaining memories being about mushi which his caretaker taught him about. While he doesn't remember any of this or even his original name, he knows that one day he will become a Ginko as well like all others before him.
Ginko gets very touchy on subjects like depression and suicide, which is why he heavily dislikes the White and the Dementors for bringing despair to people around them. He also doesn't like the Incubators for exploiting people's despair for their so called "greater good".
- He feel bad for the House of Sadness for these reasons above. He also very concerned on the mental state of the Doki Doki Literature Club, especially Sayori who... well... killed herself.
- He may be even more concerned for Simon Henriksson who's issues may have surpassed all other people in the trauma scale. He's trying to get Simon all the therapy he could get but he's pretty sure that simple therapy can't completely help him.
There was one incident involving a mushi who invaded the House of Hatred and went straight into Yuuki Terumi's temple where Hilarity Ensues. Nobody reported the incident at first since Terumi fucking deserved it but had to once complaints arose about Terumi screaming for the past few hours, so Ginko went in and had to remove the mushi from the temple. Terumi kept stating he could have handled the situation himself despite the fact he was crying like a baby afterward.
If one's asking why he's God of Ignored Experts when he's so valuable, back at his own universe an alarming amount of people didn't follow his advice which led to very horrible consequences for everyone involved.
- At least his planet didn't blow up and everybody ignored him despite knowing its doom. Ginko and Jor-El bonded over their similarities and the two kept in touch.
He has nothing but sympathy for Madoka and how all of her efforts to stop the cycle of despair created by the Incubators have come to a screeching halt thanks to Homura.
Eikichi quickly rushed to his temple with Maya and Tatsuya following suit, all three believing that he was Lisa Silverman due to his name. While disappointed to see he wasn't her, Eikichi still thinks Ginko is a cool guy and is willing to help him out if he asks, a motion Maya and Tatsuya agrees with as well.
People have called him "Pimp-ko" due to his Chick Magnet status. Ginko isn't all that interested in relationship as he actually begins to attract mushi if he stays in one place for too long. Likely a symptom of him being infected by the mushi he is titular named himself after.

So what make a fanmade character not legible for ascension. Is awkwardnes alone the reason? Because that certainly wasn't the case for Glitchy's Mario.

Yeah, I'm not letting that go just yet. Aside from ascending with Glitchy (unless that's the only reason, and that's crock), what qualifies him that others don't?

Respected by/Respects:
Pitied by/Pities:
Opposed by/Opposes:
Conflicting Opinion:
Finding a representative for Programming Game was a hard task, given that either only the "programming" and machine where the work is done matters, or the player character is lacking in details. And then came Anataeus, protagonist of Opus Magnum, and who has actual characteristics. Anataeus is rather miffed that that was why he was invited to the Pantheon, but he's certainly not complaining.
- Nobody knows for sure what had happened to him and Concordia after fleeing once the latter's vengeance on House Colvan was fulfilled, but it's known that the offer for ascension was given after that, which is why Anataeus accepted the position. His companion Concordia was then chosen as his herald and to sort of serve as his moral compass and pull him away from his work if need be.
Brought with him upon his ascension are his transmutation engine^* (and all its parts and how to make them), special dispensaries for all the basic alchemical atoms (fire, water, air, earth, lead, quicksilver), and all the glyphs and tools he needs for making the various devices he's created over the course of his story, which in turn are all brought^*read:restored as well.
Among those machines are those that create simple things like refined/purified gold (though he finds it trivial), face powder, waterproof sealants (for seafaring ship hulls), hangover cures potable water, fuel (for airships), (precision) machine oil, hair gel (at a noble's insistence; fragrances can be added by someone else), rocket propellants, explosive phials, armor filaments, courage potions actually, alcohol, cloth stain removers, sword alloys, invisible ink, (alchemical) jewels, voltaic coils, unstable compounds (for explosives), poison lipstick, etc. And then there are other wonders such as…
- A health tonic for regulating irregular heartbeats.
- A "stamina potion" for "a little boost at the necessary time". Apparently, it has something to do with reproduction and is for men's consumption.
- Mist of incapacitation (a.k.a. knockout gas).
- A water purifier, though the result is slightly sour and somewhat bitter.
- A solvent for removing (document) seals, though it certainly has more potential uses than that.
- Climbing rope fibers that are strong and resilient, yet light and easy to carry.
- A warming tonic for keeping the body warm.
- A "life-sensing potion", which can be used by stealthy folks for sensing heartbeats of patrollers in the form of pulses. It's advised to stay away from crowded areas while using it, though, but rest assured the drinker won't collapse into a quivering heap of nerves when that happens.
- Very dark thread for easier shadow-sneaking. The House of Costumes (and some sectors in the House of Crime) make several orders for this product.
- Golden thread. The House of Costumes make several orders for this, too.
- Mist of hallucination, which probably works as advertised. It seems best appropriated for small spaces.
- A "timing crystal". Only Anataeus knows how this should operate.
- The "universal solvent", which he wistfully bemoaned would never be known in his world due to survival and their revenge against House Colvan hinging on no evidence of his work remaining taking precedence over his desire for recognition. Given what the Pantheon is, now it is known.
  - However, because of its potential to change the course of the war, and it's implied that Anataeus dissolved his original transmutation engine with that solvent, Anataeus knows he has to eventually pick a side lest he be kidnapped by one of the sides and be forced to make the solvent for them, or be otherwise removed for a long time (while death is not an issue, there are fates far worse). As such, he's decided that joining the GUAG is his best choice, and Concordia concurs.
Due to his alchemy being a delicate process, he's not willing to let just anybody use his transmutation engine without his supervision. That said, there is a simulation program—which Anataeus is still grasping at the subject of—available for "public" use and for his followers (which he's still getting used to having), which emulates all the features in Anataeus' transmutation engine. One just has to make sure that their device (with its parts and the instructions they input) can perform at least six cycles without screwing up before submitting their "blueprint" to Anataeus. After that, he may decide to have the device replicated for use, but without being customizable like his engine.
- To his surprise, he ends up getting several thousands of submissions, and—barring inefficient models that just focus on getting the job done—he deduced that they're all classified into at least three different types; those that focus on production speed, those that are concerned with minimizing space, and those that are economical with machine parts. Thankfully, his followers volunteered to filter through them, and even improve on them.
- Given that he didn't think one alchemist could change the world alone, and that he doubts one could get more than one alchemist to even agree on anything, Concordia had to convince Anataeus to teach them how to use the engine for real for purposes other than constructing devices after several replicas have been commissioned. Even though they don't actually understand the fundamentals of alchemy the way he does, they do know how to operate it. Besides, if things should go wrong, the Pantheon has the means to get him spares.
Aside from turning lead into gold, no work on any product is beneath him. Of course, gold isn't the only precious resource in the Pantheon, though he risks messing up the economy if he overdoes it.
Anataeus' interests lie solely on practicing his brand of alchemy, though Concordia's been getting him to go out more and learn all the other parts of life. And among the things he's learned doing so are the other forms of alchemy, namely that in the world of Fullmetal Alchemist. Right now, he's reserved his opinion of them to himself.
Can't really stand overly formal dinners given the stuffiness he had to endure in his time as Head Alchemist of House Van Tassen. Nor does he tolerate those who don't take warfare seriously or value property more than victory.
In his downtime, Anataeus sometimes plays a solitaire game called Sigmar's Garden for unwinding purposes. And to get around the issue of using alchemical proxies, Concordia commissioned actual marbles for the game.

Opposed by: the Dakaha
Not every Big Bad who is thwarted by the heroes (or a mistreated minion, or a traitorous Dragon) goes down in death or is sent behind bars never to be seen again, but what does happen to them? Sometimes their villainous role is merely reduced. Sometimes they just retire and stop doing villain work altogether. Sometimes, they even turn to the side of good. Starlight Glimmer is among the last, and quite a few of her friends (like her nemesis-turned-mentor Twilight Sparkle, as well as Trixie, her first real friend after her reformation) petitioned for her ascension. Starlight was overjoyed to be reunited with them once more, and honored that she's here.
- That said, her title brings forth a slew of followers, and not all of them are redeemed like Starlight. The Court of the Gods helped get these "sects" segregated to mitigate chances of in-templeconflict. That said, given her title, she was glad not to have been sent to the House of Villains instead.
- Out of the friends Starlight hangs with, Maud is the most frequent (by virtue of being in the same sub-House), with Trixie as a very close second. In fact, other deities can swear she smiles around her almost as much as she does around Pinkie.
Is truly ashamed of her actions in the past and naturally opposes Amon (whom she was surprisingly a lot like at first, and was extremely unnerved at that) and Eobard Thawne (for the things she's done in vengeance of her first plot failing). Plots involving loss of individuality also brought her to hate YHVH (but then again, aside from His most devoted, who doesn't hate Him?), and her past sins earned her the Dahaka's scrutiny.
- He in particular is particularly pissed given how she's not only screwed up Equestria's timeline, she also thwarted several efforts to fix it. As such, she's been banned from the House of Time And Space for her safety lest she incur his wrath.
- And of course, most displeased to hear of her arrival is Queen Chrysalis, but after her massive decrease in changeling followers, she's biding her time because she knows what happened last time she attacked a newly-ascended deity (Princess Cadance). Starlight for her part hopes to eventually reach out to and reform the Changeling Queen, just as Twilight had done with her. Opinions from others are divided on this choice.
Is glad she doesn't need to cross worlds just to meet Sunset, now that they're both in the same place. She's also been "given access" to her human form there should she ever wish to take on that.
Twilight once noted to Barbie that she sometimes sounds like Starlight. Now that she's here, the princess has taken the chance to have the two meet. Barbie was glad to finally meet her, and to see her finally reform and solidify her position as a heroine.
Having been a latch-key kid◊, she sympathizes with victims of Parental Neglect and opposes those who perform such acts (of course Abusive Parents are much worse).
Heard of an alternate timeline where instead of Twilight who redeems her, it was Sans of all people. That said, in there, he did give her a bad time first before presenting the Human Child to prove his point.
Is really good at reading others, proven when she swayed the inhabitants of her village to her way of thinking, and when she helped resolve internal strife between Princesses Celestia and Luna (helpd by the fact that she doesn't default to being delicate around either like most anypony else due to being outdated in current events prior to her Heel–Face Turn).
- In fact, the events in the latter have brought the concept of Personas to her attention. Naturally, she asked Twilight about this, who directed her to Yu, who explained as much as he can on the subject. She also learned that among the Equestrian deities who have become Persona-users were the Cutie Mark Crusaders, Rarity, Princess Luna, Sunset Shimmer, and (thanks to Starlight) Princess Celestia. And with the ever-rising threats, Twilight's been thinking it's about time to get Personas for the rest, and Starlight's naturally among them.

Idea here. There's another Blaz Blue-Nasuverse thing I could think of and it may possess potential: Would Mordred and Carl Clover be good pals? Well, they have some sort of 'Chichiue problems' in addition of having the same voice... plus even Mordred would be more familiar with the voice of Carl's 'Chichiue'.

Also, in process of 'updating' a bit of Dio's texts, I'm sorry I ended up making another Terumi kicking with a 'KONO DIO DA' meme put in.

Lookie lookie, someone created a Death Battle page.

I don't like how most combatants were indexed so i will turn it in a similar format as Super Smash Bros. and Heroes of the Storm.

Also, i just will call dibs on Eddie.

Do we even need that page?

Added some stuff to Sieg. Wondering if I should add something about Jack and The Creature.

A homunculus what was originally created by the Yggdmillennia for the sake of having powerful Magic Circuits to power the Black Faction Servants in the Great Grail War, he managed to gain self-awareness and escape his fate. While his newly gained life was simply for self-reservation, he ended up taking part on much greater conflict as the main hero to stop the Red Faction from using the Greater Grail for their plans.
After Siegfried sacrificed himself to keep Sieg alive, he acquired Command Seals named Dead Count Shapeshifter, which allows him to transform into Siegfried himself. However, the transformation only lasts for three minutes and like other Command Seals, he only possesses three of them, after which he can't transform into Siegfried. Not only that, but he is advised not to use all of his Command Seals, especially since the transformation eats away from his life. Ultimately, he used up all of them even after recovering some of then.
Due to the fact that he was saved again by Frankenstein's Monster's Noble Phantasm, he is technically the second Monster.
Was transformed into Fafnir himself thanks to his wish to the Greater Grail as a way to stop Third Magic from turning humans immortal, taking it to the Reverse Side of the World and waiting there until he would be reunited with Jeanne. He ultimately did, after which he was able to revert back to his normal form.
While he always had the fear that Fafnir would consume him spiritually and physically, in the Pantheon, he has to fear that Fafnir himself might come after him and try to consume him. Apparently Fafnir doesn't really has real reason to pursue Sieg, he just hates for someone to use his powers like that.
Has really high hopes for humanity as a whole due of himself not being one. As even though he has seen how bad some humans can be, he still believes that humans will ultimately strive for goodness in the end.
Probably the one person who distrusts Amakusa the most in the Pantheon, and probably one person who would cause him to get angry. Neither of them have met each other in the Pantheon, but their confrontation would surely end in a brawl. Amakusa himself tries to not harbour any ill will forwards him, though it might be possible that he might crack again.
- Note that Sieg doesn't harbour any bad feelings forwards other Red Faction members.
As someone who "selfishly" stole humanity's key to immortality and leaving Earth, he gets along with Kouta.
Sort of fascinated by Reuniclus, as he sees it as being another homunculus.
