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.

Well, I can't edit my forum post so I can't get to my profile I was working on. It's most likely the updates fault.

EDIT: I have to edit with my phone.

I think I'm done with this profile unless you have other suggestions for it. Do you think he'll fit in Fantastic Races given his trope?

The Gill-man, God of Fish People (The Creature from the Black Lagoon, Devonian man, “Man-fish”)

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/13183879.jpg
  • House: Fantastic Races
  • Lesser God
  • Symbol: His face
  • Theme Song: This
  • Alignment: Chaotic Neutral
  • Portfolio: Artistic License – Biology, "The missing link" between man and fish, Fish People, It Can Think
  • Domains: Monsters, Amphibious Creatures
  • Followers: The Sirens, Mirelurk Kings
  • Allies: the Hunter Gamma Variants, Dracula, Frankenstein’s monster
  • Rivals: Red Gyarados, Lagiacrus
  • Enemies: The Ancestor, The Hunter, XCOM, Plesioth, Zamtrios
  • Object of Interest for: Mesogog, Albert Wesker, Hermaeus Mora
  • Pitied by: Spongebob Squarepants, Ash Ketchum
  • Deep in a lagoon located somewhere in the Amazonian rainforest lives the Gill-man. A creature dating back in the Devonian period, he is the last of his species - a mixture of amphibian and man. When his habitat in the Amazon is disturbed, he attacks those who try to capture it.
  • The existence of a humanoid fish creature fascinates the House of Science, who sent out several of its members to capture it for study. Unfortunately, after they caught the Creature and trapped him in a cage, he was able to break out of it and terrorize the people who took part of the mission.
  • Others such as Mesogog and Albert Wesker were also interested in the Creature for more nefarious reasons. As does Hermaeus Mora, who finds him to be similar to the Deadra that serve him and is interested in using them to manipulate the Creature for his own goals.
  • The Ancestor has a grudge towards the monster given that in the past (when he was still a dick), he made some deals with them, such as selling a woman who fancied him to slavery. The Pelagic, as they are called, now infest the Cove and attack anyone trespassing and they cause trouble. XCOM isn’t fond of the creature as well, seeing how the organization has fought against similarly named creatures who serve as Mooks for aliens.
  • He is also enemies with the Hunter given that he has dealt with fish-like monsters before, and is still just as efficient as disposing of them.
  • Somehow, footage of the Gill-Man was recovered and used for a music video. The creature was confused with how someone would use him for that and baffled that everyone thought the footage was fake.
  • Surprisingly, he doesn’t seem to have a problem with the Hunter Gamma variants given their similar amphibious nature. Though he seems to compete with other aquatic creatures such as Lagiacrus and Red Gyarados. Doesn’t like Plesioth and Zamtrios since they’re known to devour amphibious creatures.
  • Living primarily in the dark depths of the sea, the Gill-Man reacts adversely to bright light. As such, he tends to avoid the subhouse of Light And Darkness. Also has a knack for kidnapping women, likely because he must have wanted a mate as he’s the last of his kind.
  • Sometimes, he can be seen with other well-known Hollywood monsters, such as Dracula and Frankenstein’s monster. He was also one of several monsters summoned by the vampire to find a mystical amulet and bring about The End of the World as We Know It.
  • Oddly enough, both Spongebob and Ash Ketchum have made several attempts to befriend him and encourage his better qualities. Sometimes, Aquaman would come in to calm the Gill-man down whenever the latter attempts to wreak havoc.

@ Diego Brando: Don't have to mention this, but since Speedwagon is of the belief that Dio Brando was born evil he's probably be confused that there's a version of Dio that wasn't born evil and was an Anti-Villain instead. I'm kind of wondering how that'd work. Also, because Dio and Diego are AU counterparts they'd have to avoid touching each other or else. Also, Scary Monsters technically isn't his Stand since it was given to him by Dr Ferdinand. Considering AU Diego has The World and he's an AU Dio, it would be interesting to see what would happen if he is hit by the Stand Arrow. He would probably have both Scary Monsters and The World at his disposable.

@ Riku Asakura: [tup]

I still would like to know what I should add to Pod

Podrick Payne, God of Loyal Rookie Allies (Pod)

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/b6a22f3ce2e13730f55001130234c91b.jpg
  • Votes: 2(Master Hero, Roku Alhazared)
  • Date of ascension: 16 July(repost 13 July)
  • House: Friends and Companions (House of Friendship)
  • Demigod
  • Symbol: House Payne's arms; purple and white chequy with gold coins in the checks
  • Alignment: Lawful Good
  • Portfolio: Adorkable Squire, Loser Has Your Back, The Quiet One, Fought In The Battle Of Blackwater At Twelve, Older In The Show And Really Good At Sex, Undying Loyalty, Bookworm, Smarter And More Skilled Than He Seems, Tag Along Kid
  • Domains: Squires, Loyalty, Friendship, Youth and Inexperience
  • Herald: Chloe O'Brien
  • Interests: The Lustful Acts and Lustful Behavior sub-houses
  • Allies: Tyrion Lannister and his friends, Oberyn Martell, Samwise Gangee, John Zoidberg, Riza Hawkeye, Neville Longbottom, Mario, Link and Commander Shepard, Luigi, Celestia Ralgris
  • Enemies: Tywin and Cersei Lannister, The Night King, The Brave Companions, Walder Frey
  • Opposes: The House of Betrayal
  • Opposed by: Steve Smith (one-sided on his end)
  • Podrick Payne is part of a lesser branch of House Payne, a distant cousin of royal executioner Illyn Payne. Originally squire to Ser Lorimer, Lorimer's hanging as a result of stealing some of Tywin's personal supply of hams led him to be saddled with Tyrion Lannister. Though naive and somewhat inept, he's got Tyrion's back and is one of the few who actually likes him.
  • A quiet and reserved boy, his awkwardness makes him somewhat endearing. Following Tyrion's arrest he was made Brienne's squire, who like Tyrion has faced prejudice through her life as neither are lookers and she's a female knight in a world where Stay in the Kitchen is a common sentiment. And he sticks by her all the same. He's glad to see Tyrion again in the show and in the pantheon.
  • Finds a lot in common with Neville Longbottom as they are both timid, awkward individuals who prove their heroism-Podrick fighting in the Battle of the Blackwater and against the Brave Companions, Neville against Voldemort's forces. Neville is impressed he's managed to last in the Crapsack World of Westeros.
  • Also seems to get along with John Zoidberg for sharing an awkward friend dynamic, and Samwise Gangee for being a down to earth individual like himself. He respects Riza Hawkeye for her friendship with Colonel Mustang and being a strong, capable female fighter and source of morality like Brienne is. Jack Bauer seems impressed at how he stood by Tyrion, just like how Chloe O'Brian stood by him.
  • 14 at most in the books, almost an adult in the show. Because of this age difference, Tyrion and Bronn were able to give him some money for a brothel. He ended up coming back with the money, apparently being so good at sex the prostitutes let him do it for free. Despite the fact he was a virgin-Tyrion's still wondering how the hell he did it. The gods in charge of or representing lust were amazed and want to know just how he did it. Steve Smith was incredibly jealous of Pod.
  • Naturally opposed to the House of Betrayal, both because of how Westeros sees Treachery Is a Special Kind of Evil and because of how loyal he is. Unsurprisingly he's against Walder Frey regardless of the Frey "alliance" with the Lannisters, though doesn't have many enemies outside of Westeros due to his reserved and amiable personality.
  • Because of the Battle of the Blackwater, he'd preferably stay as far away from Ragnaros and Brand as possible since their fiery destruction and pyromania reminds him of the chaos that was the use of wildfire. And while on good terms with Catelyn since he is helping out Brienne, Lady Stoneheart wants him dead for his allegiance to House Lannister.
  • Respects Mario, Link and Commander Shepard for their ability to gather some unusual friends to help save the day. He gets along with Luigi as well since he always stands by Mario, and Celestia Ralgris for attempting to protect Lux Arcadia even after a well-intentioned mistake caused her exile.

[tup]s for the Gill-Man and Podrick!

@N3xus and @Aerial: Thank you for supporting my opposition. But I don't want Diego off the Pantheon so he needs another trope and Alternate Self isn't gonna cut it. I would say he could take The Mean Brit but Simon Cowell took it and his profile is very short.

I have found other tropes for Diego: Always Someone Better, The Ace, Glasgow Grin, Half the Man He Used to Be and "Shaggy Dog" Story. Dunno if they are fitting or not.

Speaking of Simon Cowell, @Faso you wanna delete his profile or do you want him to stay?

  • Respected by/Respects:
  • Pities: Erik Lensherr/Magneto
  • Opposed by/Opposes:
  • Conflicting Opinion: Dagda and Nanashi
  • The thing about a game with multiple endings is that if it gets a sequel, one of the endings (or none of them) has to become canon. In the search for a candidate, Stephen immediately nominated the first of his Messiahs, simply known as the Hero, but assigned the name Kazuya for easy calling. And bringing him over was simple since he was already in the Pantheon as Mido's herald (for whatever reason).
  • As a present for his ascension, Stephen upgraded his COMP one last time: he no longer needs to keep collecting Magnetite to sustain demons he summons, though he does still dismiss them when he's not fighting, and keeps some around for bribing demons with. This is on top of being able to summon up to five demons at once (as opposed to the Demi-Fiend's, Flynn's, Isabeau's, and Nanashi's three).
  • Never knew his father, who had left him before he was able to tell what was going on around him. That is why he doesn’t really know what having a father is like and his longing for a father figure is unusually strong. Presumably, this is related to his concern about demons. Since he had very few opportunities to interact with his father, it can be said that this resulted in his interest in the power of demons, in other words, the power associated with a father.
  • Having lost his own to a demon who impersonated her when he got home, Kazuya has a soft spot for those who lost their mothers (unless of course it was of their own conscious doing).
  • Apparently, there was an old story (now dead) called 20XX that talks about what happens after Kazuya sided with Law.
  • While without any means of using magic, Kazuya can get around this by sword fusion, and thanks to the Diamond Realm DLC, he's inhereited a few abilities (though still Physical) such as Lightspeed Slash, Mist Rush, Charge, and Morale Boost, a resistance to physical and gun attacks, and an invulnerability to Light and Dark attacks.
  • Probably due to how he was forced to be omnicidal in his fight for Neutrality, Kazuya isn't as immediately opposing of Dagda. After everything he's been through, removing all divinities and restarting humanity anew has its appeal. That said, now that he's no longer alone in the fight for humanity, he's not ready to have the slate wiped clean right now.
  • Wary of all angelic deities along with Malthael and Castlevania!Satan because they remind him of his efforts to rebuild the world into a Neutral one ruined by Law, and the Mutants and Gaeans who helped him ostracized and kicked down into Makai. There's also the fact that Pascal/Cerberus and Madam, who carried on what was left of his legacy in Valhalla, got killed and destroyed by Abaddon after he was deceived by the Archangels that he would be restored to Angelhood. Thankfully, the weak Mutants who aren't able to defend themselves were taken in and protected by Lucifer in Makai.
    • Speaking of Mutants, he sort of understands why Magneto does what he does for mutantkind.
  • As for the God-Emperor of Mankind and his Imperium, to say he's horrified with what it's become in order to survive the Chaos Gods, Necrons, Orks, and all the rest would be an understatement. As a result, he finds it difficult to work with them.
  • Wants to remind folks not to take the bullet for a "demon tamer" who has time to summon a demon who can take the hit for them. He doesn't want a repeat of the Law Hero's Senseless Sacrifice.
  • Doesn't like the Demi-Fiend's former friends and Hikawa, finding all their Reasons repulsive. Chiaki in particular he feels is actually worse than the Chaos Hero. While the weak dying out was just a "side-effect" of his goal, the weak being exterminated is her goal.

The Mean Brit is a very specific trope more-or-less started by Simon Cowell, and just being evil and British isn't going to cut it. Is being British even a major part of Diego's character?

Even Evil Brit is taken; by Liquid Snake. Both that and The Mean Brit are just suggestions. I have found other tropes for Diego at the last page, go see if any of those are fitting.

  • Allies: Gul'dan (If Begrudginly), Harth Stonebrew, Gabriel Reyes/Reaper,
  • Enemies: King Genn Greymane, Sylvanas Windrunner
  • Lord Vincent Godfrey was a Gilnean nobleman who had a lot of influence in the politics of the Kingdom of Gilneas. Godfrey had an intense hatred for the Worgen and wanted nothing but to wipe them out, but once he found out about that King Greymane was inflicted with the curse, he staged a coup to have him assassinated by the forsaken only to his plan fail and commited suicide to avoid the wrath of the people of Gilneas. Then he was resurrected by the Forsaken, where Godfrey aided them in breaking into Gilneas and seizing control of it. It just so happened that Godfrey had no intention to remain loyal to Sylvanas and so briefly killed her and fled. It was said that later Godfrey was slain by adventurers but his status as a traitor and a backstabber haven't gone unnoticed, much so that to his misfortune the Pantheon saw him fit to ascend as an undead.
  • Thanks to his ressurrection and later ascension, Godfrey has retained all his powers and magic, which he found useful. Unfortunately he his sanity was even more shattered and Godfrey is nothing from than a wicked gunman with an intense hatred for Werewolves. He swore to cull them all one by one, including Greymane who he was not surprised was already an established deity. He is glad that at least that the mut that is Darius Crowley is nowhere to be found.

I have 3 [tup]s so far. Did you want me to wait for three days?

The Gill-man, God of Fish People (The Creature from the Black Lagoon, Devonian man, “Man-fish”)

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/13183879.jpg
  • House: Fantastic Races
  • Tups: 3 [tup]s (fasoman1996, wootzits, Mundeiis)
  • Lesser God
  • Symbol: His face
  • Theme Song: This
  • Alignment: Chaotic Neutral
  • Portfolio: Artistic License – Biology, "The missing link" between man and fish, Fish People, It Can Think
  • Domains: Monsters, Amphibious Creatures
  • Followers: The Sirens, Mirelurk Kings
  • Allies: the Hunter Gamma Variants, Dracula, Frankenstein’s monster
  • Rivals: Red Gyarados, Lagiacrus
  • Enemies: The Ancestor, The Hunter, XCOM, Plesioth, Zamtrios
  • Object of Interest for: Mesogog, Albert Wesker, Hermaeus Mora
  • Pitied by: Spongebob Squarepants, Ash Ketchum
  • Deep in a lagoon located somewhere in the Amazonian rainforest lives the Gill-man. A creature dating back in the Devonian period, he is the last of his species - a mixture of amphibian and man. When his habitat in the Amazon is disturbed, he attacks those who try to capture it.
  • The existence of a humanoid fish creature fascinates the House of Science, who sent out several of its members to capture it for study. Unfortunately, after they caught the Creature and trapped him in a cage, he was able to break out of it and terrorize the people who took part of the mission.
  • Others such as Mesogog and Albert Wesker were also interested in the Creature for more nefarious reasons. As does Hermaeus Mora, who finds him to be similar to the Deadra that serve him and is interested in using them to manipulate the Creature for his own goals.
  • The Ancestor has a grudge towards the monster given that in the past (when he was still a dick), he made some deals with them, such as selling a woman who fancied him to slavery. The Pelagic, as they are called, now infest the Cove and attack anyone trespassing and they cause trouble. XCOM isn’t fond of the creature as well, seeing how the organization has fought against similarly named creatures who serve as Mooks for aliens.
  • He is also enemies with the Hunter given that he has dealt with fish-like monsters before, and is still just as efficient as disposing of them.
  • Somehow, footage of the Gill-Man was recovered and used for a music video. The creature was confused with how someone would use him for that and baffled that everyone thought the footage was fake.
  • Surprisingly, he doesn’t seem to have a problem with the Hunter Gamma variants given their similar amphibious nature. Though he seems to compete with other aquatic creatures such as Lagiacrus and Red Gyarados. Doesn’t like Plesioth and Zamtrios since they’re known to devour amphibious creatures.
  • Living primarily in the dark depths of the sea, the Gill-Man reacts adversely to bright light. As such, he tends to avoid the subhouse of Light And Darkness. Also has a knack for kidnapping women, likely because he must have wanted a mate as he’s the last of his kind.
  • Sometimes, he can be seen with other well-known Hollywood monsters, such as Dracula and Frankenstein’s monster. He was also one of several monsters summoned by the vampire to find a mystical amulet and bring about The End of the World as We Know It.
  • Oddly enough, both Spongebob and Ash Ketchum have made several attempts to befriend him and encourage his better qualities. Sometimes, Aquaman would come in to calm the Gill-man down whenever the latter attempts to wreak havoc.

@Faso: I've checked and yes Black Mage is evil. He is in Villainous Roles for a reason. Godfrey can be enemies against the Gunslinger Septet since he's like their Evil Counterpart. Interactions with its individual members are all up to you.

Speaking of the Gunslinger Septet, its leader Rushuna Tendou isn't here lately. Hotman X 32 asked about her whereabouts some time ago and my answer to that is: her profile got deleted for being lackluster. I propose she should reascend under the new title Goddess of Enemy Disarmament and Bathing Beauties. Reasoning: The first is her common way of dealing with enemies since she is mostly a peaceful person, according to her character page and the trope page. The second is that in the show, she is very often seen in a bath and loves every second of it. Yay or nay?
