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.

@ Old Lady Night Man: Chloe seems interesting

@ Master Hero: I was thinking Thomas Covenant, but that would require someone to know who he is. I have just heard of him having an impressive entry in the trope page. If no-one knows about him, though, go ahead with the Seven Heavenly Virtues

I've been unable to find a good image to represent the C'Tan as a whole. Does anyone have a good image for that? Also, what would be the best fit for a symbol representing the species as a whole?

The C'Tan, Divine Race Of Star Killing (Star Gods, the Ynigr(as a group). Notable members are Aza'Gorod the Nightbringer, Mephet'ran the Deceiver, Mag'ladroth the Void Dragon, Tsara'noga the Outsider, lesser known are Llandu'gor the Flayer, Nyadra'zatha the Burning One and Yggra'nya the World Maker)

  • Picture: TBA
  • House: Planetary And Celestial (House of Time and Space)
  • Greater Deities (their shards), Overdeities (the original C'Tan)
  • Symbol: TBA
  • Alignment: Lawful Evil (Mag'ladroth), Neutral Evil (Aza'Gorod, Llandu'gor and Mepet'ran), Chaotic Evil (Nyadra'zatha and Tsara'noga)
  • Portfolio: Cosmic Horrors That Feed And Poison Stars, Jerkass Gods, Sufficiently Advanced Alien, Possibly The Oldest Beings In The Galaxy, The Reason The Necrons Are The Way They Are, Reality Warper, Pieces of God, Touch of Death, Eating Souls As Well As Stars, Gluttony As A Fatal Flaw, Also Eats Terror And Life-Force, Broke Your Arm Punching Out Cthulhu
  • Domains: Terror, Consumption, Stars, Corruption (all of them), Thanatophobia, Death, Scythes (Aza'Gorod), Trickery, Manipulation, Cruelty (Mepet'ran), Technology, Dragons, Mars (Mag'ladroth), Isolation, Insanity (Tsara'noga), Curses (Llandu'gor), Fire (Nyadra'zatha), Creation (Yggra'nya)
  • Interests: H.P Lovecraft and the Cthulhu Mythos (all of them), Medusa Gorgon (Tsara'noga), the House of Flesh Eaters (Llandu'gor)
  • Allies(as a whole): The Old Gods, The Gravemind, The Dementors, Ungoliant, Pennywise, Pinbacker
  • Headbutting Villains with: Apophis, The Grox, Nekron and the Grand United Alliance of Destruction (all of them)
  • Teeth-Clenched Teamwork with: The Divine Powers
  • Rivals: Galactus, Unicron
  • Enemies(as a whole): The Necrons, The Chaos Gods (really any living thing in the Warhammer 40000 universe), The Emotions, Lord Death (especially Aza'Gorod), anyone who made a Deal with the Devil and lost, Mata Nui, Ra, Shin, Bro'dee Walker, Rosalina (really any star-based deity), the Life Entity, Utsuho Reiuji, The Chozo, The Admins, Mogo, Robert Capa, Eru Illuvatar, Aslan, The Love That Moves The Stars, The Heroic Protectors of Family
  • Before the Imperium of Man, before the Eldar, before even the Necrons were the C'Tan. Entities born of swirling gases and energies at least as old as the galaxy, they feast on the radiation of stars and slowly poison them. Eventually coming across the Necrontyr, they found mass consumption of souls even tastier and tricked them into surrending their souls for metallic bodies and to make war on the Old Ones, in turn gaining more physical forms. However their new incarnation, the Necrons, shattered these star gods into pieces. Though these pieces still possess power and consciousness, and hope to one day gain back their power.
  • Applies to the C'Tan as a whole
    • These stellar predators may no longer be as mighty as they used to be, but are still rightfully feared for their reality warping powers, feasting on stars and consuming souls by the population. The Grand United Alliance of Destruction recognized their destructive potential and were behind their summoning in the pantheon. While they help out Nekron's desire to destroy all life, they have issues in working with the GUAD since if all stars and souls are destroyed they'll starve. For now, they work together.
    • Their desire to extinguish and consume the stars, unfortunately, has a fair number of supporters. Pinbacker has become a deranged supporters and claims that they are "God's angels" who usher in the end times. Robert Capa wonders if they were responsible for his own Sun dying off. The Grox thrive in the radiated, poisoned stars the C'Tan leave behind, though know from what happened to the Necrons to be very cautious about these beings. On the other hand, they know to be cautious about Apophis because while the snake can help take out opposing stellar gods, it won't stop until everything, likely including them, is gone.
    • Said desire gives them a lot of enemies as well, like you'd expect. In their own universe, they have a special hatred for the Warp and its psychic energies. As the Sun's guardian, Ra despises them, as do Rosalina and Utsuho Reiuji given their guardian role towards stars. Bro'dee Walker is diligently working to heal the stars they poison, and this has led them to want to kidnap him for eternally renewing their energy source.
    • Naturally eat away at stars, but prefer souls. And given their power, they want it by the population. And they eat at emotions, primarily gibbering terror. This makes them enemies with the Emotions, and they hunger for Lord Death's soul as well due to how large it is. The Dementors agree with their feeding habits, and Pennywise is deeply intrigued due to his habit of eating people and finding fear a form of "salting the meat".
    • The Divine Powers, their plan appeals to them due to the following chart; The cycle of life and death = Krishna's Great Singularity = Inexhaustible supply of reincarnating souls to eat = Returns to the Singularity = Redistributed back for the C'Tan = Rinse and Repeat. Though this alliance is tenuous as their gluttony makes it tempting to simply betray them then and there...and they're the best divinity the C'Tan has gotten along with besides the Old Gods. Eru Illuvatar, Aslan and the Love That Moves The Stars are massively disappointed at them for being depraved representations of gluttony that don't even try to improve themselves and fail to realize the value in sentient beings. Especially Aslan, given star are sentient where he comes from.
    • Competing in the "cosmic consumption" field with Galactus and Unicron. H.P Lovecraft notes they are similar to the Elder Gods of the Cthulhu Mythos, and the Old Gods recognize a lot of similarities between them. The Gravemind gravitated towards the C'Tan as well, since it is a malevolent precursor who wants to get back at the universe for its well-deserved downfall by those it abused.
  • Specific to Aza'Gorod
    • Aza'Gorod the Nightbringer is the most blatantly terrifying of the C'Tan. It delights in bringing pain and suffering to life, which is easy to do thanks to resembling The Grim Reaper. In fact it is why sentient beings fear death in the first place, due to mind raping their ancestors. Other grim reapers detest him for this and being a highly sadistic death god, and the Destroyer Deity Beerus considers him to be an unpleasant disgrace to destroyers everywhere. The Death of Final Destination, however, thinks what he does is hilarious.
    • Feels a kinship with Diabolo for their love of inflicting the most primal of fears, as it does Freddy Krueger for spreading both terror and death through nightmares. SCP-106 is happy to join in the fun, as is Deathwing the Destroyer. Voldemort and Ra's Al Ghul consider the Nightbringer to be the premiere reason why death is to be feared and abhorred. It's also believed that the Nightbringer may be one of the three deaths causing trouble for SCP-1440
  • Specific to Mepet'ran
    • Mephet'ran the Deceiver is the trickster of the C'Tan, and it is he who offered the Necrontyr the means to transform themselves into the Necrons. It loves messing with literally everyone it can, even its own C'Tan like getting the Nightbringer to eat other C'Tan. It loves trolling with Yuuki Terumi and Belial...at least when they're not trolling each other. Sometimes both at the same time.
    • Victims of Mind Rape despite the Deceiver. The Deceiver isn't a fan of whenever "lesser" beings manage to outsmart it. It knows how Doctor Doom has taken power from cosmic beings multiple times, and wants nothing of him less he try to hijack his shards and power. Teridax is interested in hijacking the Deceiver's powers as well.
  • Specific to Mag'ladroth
    • Maga'ladroth the Void Dragon is arguably the strongest C'Tan. It wrecked havoc across the universe, until it was confronted by the God Emperor of Mankind, and the monster was sealed in Mars. It may be the Omnissiah, but most conflate it with the Emperor. The House of Technology is trying to dissuade people from accidentally worshiping this thing, though SKYNET is fond of it as a possible means of destroying all organic life. And AM admires the cruelty of the C'Tan, and wants to work with the Void Dragon to spread misery beyond the Earth.
    • Benevolent dragons aren't a fan of the Void Dragon either. Despite being the mother of dragons, even Daenerys considers it to be an abomination that doesn't deserve to be considered a dragon. The Dovakhiin sees Mag'ladroth as a dragon, but being a dragonslayer that makes the C'Tan a big challenge instead. No-one from Mars likes it either, with J'onn J'onnz always at the ready to stop it from endangering his homeworld or the rest of the universe.
  • Applies to other C'Tan
    • Tsara'noga the Outsider is perhaps the most mysterious of the C'Tan. It was tricked into self-induced exile within a Dyson Sphere, and the experience has driven it gibberingly insane. And it brings madness to all within its vicinity. This makes it an enemy to all deities from Soul Eater, except for two. First is Medusa Gorgon, who wishes to exploit the madness it brings. The other is Kishin Asura, who as a being of madness feels a certain kinship with the Outsider.
    • Of the C'Tan, Llandu'gor the Flayer is the only one to be killed by shattering. In its death, it cursed the Necrons with a Flayer Virus. This led to the Flayed Ones, who have an unquenchable hunger for warm flesh and the blood of the living. It claims influence in the House of Flesh Eaters, and they in turn are interested in its curse and how it brings people to cannibalism. The Flayer is most interested in Piggsy's specific madness. It seems impressed by Demise managed to curse the land of Hylia so his hatred forever troubles the land.
    • Nyadra'zatha the Burning One has long sought to burn down the Webway and beyond. The Necrons used its shards to allow the FTL travel they need. A complete pyromaniac, he tends towards fellow pyros such as Ragnaros, Brand and Surtr. The more benevolent deities of fire look down on the Burning One.

@Master Hero: I'll argue that there might be better choices for Hero with an F in Good, especially considering Seven Heavenly Virtues has a yikes rating on MAL. It could be used to give to Isaac and Miria from Baccano, which will free up Outlaw Couple to give to its rightful owners.

@ Clovis: [tup] for the C'tan. Jean-Luc Picard would oppose them on principle, Q would be disgusted by them (and that's saying something) and since they are highly evolved cosmic entities that only care about eating, James T. Kirk would think they are "very inferior as superior beings go." Also, the Heroic Protectors of Family would oppose them because the C'tan are essentially Abusive Parents who seek to abuse their children again.

@ Wootzis: I nominated the Virtues for the trope because whatever their failings are, their antics haven't killed innocents or caused massive amounts of collateral damage. And besides, since when do we use MAL ratings in order to ascend deities?

@ Faso: Regarding the Naming House Guardians, I think Isis should be one of them. Can't come up with the others though.

@ Divine Flame: No one said the Trope Pantheons were a full time job anyways. Also, I hope you got my suggestion.

@ Aerial Queen: He could also be allies with Ruto as she's also royalty and fellow Capcom character Lagiacrus. Enemies with the Sea King, though, despite being the king of seafolk in his world in part to his sadism. Rikuo would hate the fact that his powers would make the Sea King stronger. Also not too fond with Rain despite also being royalty and having water powers due to his sheer amount of arrogance.

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

My guess that is that i will be going for Isis, Othinus and Zero since they are the most Guardian material deities i found. Sounds good?

Also i just remembered but can i make a profile for Skullomania for Skeleton Motif? If you wonder why, he is a skull themed hero which is a pretty straighforward good trope for him if you ask me

@ wootzits: I guess the Virtues would work. Hmmm...we have Azmodan representing the Seven Deadly Sins. I wonder what character would represent the Seven Heavenly Virtues (the trope, not the group of course)

Now sitting at two [tup]s, and closely approaching the final draft.

Mitsuki Hokuto, Goddess of Using Barriers in Combat (Hokuto Princess, White Maiden)

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/6_hokuto.jpg

  • Rank: Intermediate Goddess (house pending)
  • Symbol: Hokuto Group's logo.
  • Theme Songs: Seize the Day, X.R.C., The Usual Morning, Strayed into Passage, and Bravely Storm.
  • Alignment: Lawful Good
  • Portfolio: Barrier Warrior, Casting a Shadow, Dark Is Not Evil, Dissonant Serenity, Lady of Black Magic, Long-Range Fighter, Ojou, Nice Girl, That One Incident with Shio, Playing with Fire, Simple Staff, Spoiled Sweet, Student Council President, Team Mom.
  • Domains: Wielder, Heiress, Hokuto Group, Zodiac, Barriers, Shadow, Fire, Greed Hunting.
  • Followers: All members of the Xanadu Research Club (X.R.C.), which includes Kou Tokisaka, Sora Ikushima, Yuuki Shinomiya, Shio Takahata, Rion Kugayama, and Towa Kokonoe.
  • Heralds: Seijyuurou Hokuto (her grandfather), and Kyouka Yukimura (her secretary).
  • Allies: Asuka Hiiragi, Makoto Nijima, Weiss Schnee, Harry Potter, Madoka Kaname, Mami Tomoe, Sayaka Miki, Kyoko Sakura, Mercy, Tear Grants, Scrooge McDuck, Reinhardt, Brigitte, Shield Knight, Yuuno Scrya, Milla Basset.
  • Enemies: Sheev Palpatine/Darth Sidious, Wallace Breen, Ragyo Kiryuin, Sir Isaac Ray Peram Westcott, Sombra, Senator Steven Armstrong, any corrupt Student Council President deity.
  • Feared by: Any Mafia, Yakuza, and Japanese Delinquent deity.
  • Opposes: Aiden Pearce, Cave Johnson (and by extension, GLaDOS), The Incubators.
  • Conflicting Opinion on: Mustache Girl, Accelerator.
  • Mitsuki Hokuto is the Student Council President of Morimiya Academy, the future heiress of the Hokuto Group, and a key figure within Zodiac (one of two major Underground organizations dealing with the Eclipse). She is also a Wielder herself who fights monsters called Greeds, but unlike her close ally Asuka, Mitsuki is not an active combatant, and prefers to remain on the sidelines while her subordinates do the work. She'll only get involved directly if the situation calls for it, but when she does, she proves herself to be a reliable fighter in the battlefield. Her Soul Device is Mystic Node; a staff that can conjure up barriers and fire magic projectiles. It can either control Shadow or Fire, depending on the Master Core equipped.
  • Mitsuki ascended into the pantheon because of her use of barriers in combat. She can use them for defense (to protect herself from damage), offense (can directly harm enemies on contact), and non-combat aid (can dispel strong curses and keep Greeds at bay). Her use of the barriers has earned her the Red Baron "White Maiden" in her world.
  • Mitsuki and Makoto Nijima get along very well due to being Student Council Presidents who are also third-years, and ironically the sixth members of their respective teams. They're both intelligent and the logical voice of reason within their schools, so they get together in friendly meetings to establish a relationship between Morimiya Academy and Shujin Academy. It also helps that Makoto is a capable fighter herself, so Mitsuki can call on her for assistance if need be.
  • Mitsuki also gets along with Weiss Schnee due to being future heiresses of the Hokuto Group and the Schnee Dust Company respectively. It also helps that Mitsuki's friend Asuka is already allied with Weiss, so establishing a relationship with her wasn't an issue. And since Weiss herself is already experienced with fighting monsters called Grimm, Mitsuki can call on Weiss anytime if there are Greeds and Grimm to defeat in the pantheon.
  • Mitsuki has earned the respect of Reinhardt, Brigitte, and Shield Knight for her clever uses of her barriers. When grouped together, they form a nearly impenetrable defense on the battlefield, and are known throughout the pantheon as "The Barrier Brigade".
    • Other fighters she's allied with include Yuuno Scrya and Milla Basset, who also make great use of their barrier powers. They eventually joined the Barrier Brigade shortly after demonstrating their skills against the Greeds.
  • Due to Mitsuki's experience in dealing with both Japanese Delinquents (from dealing with Morimiya's resident gang BLAZE) and the Yakuza (from dealing with the Takahane Group), any deity associated with these groups fear her because of her disposition, making her really tough to deal with. Naturally, this extends to The Mafia as well, as they do not want to risk getting on the Hokuto Princess' bad side.
  • She considers Aiden Pearce and Sombra to be major threats to the Hokuto Group's Orbal Network and Zodiac, since these two have constantly attempted to hack into their databases numerous times. For this reason, she dispatches Kyouka's special force squad to track them down and prevent them from spreading secretive info about the Eclipse for the public safety of citizens.
  • Mitsuki has some conflicting opinions on Mustache Girl. While she understands her circumstances and why she's motivated to take down the Mafia of Cooks, Mitsuki is also aware of the fact that Mustache Girl went off the deep end when she stole all of Hat Kid's Time Pieces and used them to bring judgement on everyone else, calling them "bad guys". It's for this reason that Mitsuki is rather reluctant to help Mustache Girl out, since she doesn't want her moral judgement to create another similar incident. For the time being, Mitsuki just expresses her gratitude and watches over Mustache Girl to see if she'll improve on her behavior.
  • Mitsuki opposes the Incubators because she considers their acts of contracting girls to become Magical Girls very cruel, which she claims it contradicts their supposed goal of preventing heat death of the universe. Any girl who accepts their contracts unfortunately has their Soul Gems corrupt overtime, and will eventually transform them into monsters called Witchs. Because of this, Mitsuki has set up a reconciliation effort for any Magical Girls contracted with the Incubators with the intent of preventing them from transforming, since the closest thing Mitsuki has to Witches in her world are the Phantom-type Greeds. She has become friends with Madoka Kaname, Sayaka Miki, Mami Tomoe, and Kyoko Sakura as a result, and hopes that Zodiac's treatment will be enough to prevent their inevitable transformations. Unfortunately, she was unable to reconcile with Homura Akemi despite her best efforts, because ever since the upheaval, she has become far too dangerous to deal with.
  • Many of Mitsuki's enemies within the pantheon happen to be corrupt politicians, CEOs, and tyrannical overlords.
    • Mitsuki is disappointed in Wallace Breen for the fact that he sold out humanity to something as dangerous as The Combine, which nearly resulted in humanity becoming extinct as well as all life on Earth. The fact that he used to be an administrator at the Black Mesa Research Facility didn't help matters, since Breen was so keen on following Combine orders with the hope of achieving immortality. And if the Easter Egg in Black Mesa is anything to go by, it's possible that Breen had it all planned out from the beginning. This has put Breen on Zodiac's watchlist, and Mitsuki is determined to make sure that he doesn't send the Combine to start augmenting Greeds for their goal.
    • She considers Sheev Palpatine to be a highly dangerous figure due to how cunning and manipulative he is, and since he succeeded in conquering an entire galaxy, this has made Mitsuki more weary of his presence. Being a Sith lord, Papatine has even attempted to convince Mitsuki to come to the "Dark Side" because of her Soul Device's ability to use Shadow as an element. However, Mitsuki is too pure-hearted to fall for any of his ploys, which is further helped by the fact that she doesn't have much of a dark past for him to exploit. This only strengthened Mitsuki's resolve to oppose him, and was able to survive her encounter with him thanks to her barriers shielding her from his Force attacks and Sith Lightning.
    • Mitsuki detests Ragyo Kiryuin for crossing the Moral Event Horizon a couple of times, and even considers her much worse than Mikuriya.
    • Mitsuki is worried that Senator Steven Armstrong's ambition will sour relations between the Japan branch and the United States branch of Zodiac, since he's too bloodthirsty to come to reasonable negotiations. Thus, she considers him a threat to the political stability of the world, and thinks that Armstrong's goal is not even doing the Americans any favors.
    • Alongside her friend Asuka, Mitsuki also considers Sir Isaac Westcott a major threat, since his goal of obtaining powers from Spirits will cause a disaster far greater than anything she has faced in her world. This is one of the few instances where Zodiac and Asuka's organization Nemesis are willing to work together to stop him, despite each organization's differences in how they handle things.

@ Crownless Mimic: Yeah, I got your suggestion, but I didn't add him in because I know nothing about the character himself, since I didn't play any of the Elder Scrolls games. Sorry, but I stick to writing what I know.

I'm trying to argue that Hero with an F in Good is better off given to Isaac and Miria instead of the characters of an anime whose whole raison d'etre is fanservice, so that Outlaw Couple can go to Bonnie and Clyde, the Trope Codifiers for that, might I add.
