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.

Tppr@ There could be text on how some people don't want to think too much on how these guys are created since they are babY like in appearance.

In Personality Misc., you think Persona's Nyarlathotep should keep Humans Are the Real Monsters or should that be given to an actual Human?

2[tup] for Rumble. Day 1.

Rumble, God of Overloading Attacks (The Mechanized Menace)

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/rumble_originalloading.jpg
  • Demigod
  • Symbol: The mech Tristy
  • Theme Song: Super Galaxy Rumble
  • Alignment: Chaotic Neutral
  • Portfolio: The Runt among the Yordles, Pilot of scrap heap mech called "Tristy", Quick-Tempered and Short, Heat meter which boosts his abilities and attack, Flamespitter, Electro-Harpoon, Scrap Shield, The Equalizer, Founder and teacher of RITOPLZ
  • Domains: Junk, Overheat, Mech
  • 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.
  • Allies: Tristana
  • Rivals: Heroes of the Ancients and the Champions of Runeterra (especially Teemo), Kamina, Simon the Digger, Yoko Littner, Nia Teppelin, Viral, Rossiu Adai, Kittan Bachika, Gundam Pilots, SRW ilots, D.va, Tenya Iida, Jimmy Hopkins
  • Enemies: Eliksni, Shinobu Sensui, Lysandre
  • Opposed: All humans, bullies
  • Rumble was a runt, even among the Yordle. As the result, he was bullied and he tried to prove himself with his craftiness and short-temper. This rewards him with a mech called Tristy to give him an edge against anyone that crosses. Due to its unstable construction, it proves to heat up which could be problematic. But for Rumble, he made it work. His weapons prove to become much hotter, even when it reach its limits, becoming much more stronger at the cost of his mech not operating as normal until it cools down.
  • He doesn't like humans as many bullied him for being a mockery of "enlightened" Yordles. He built his suit so that no one can look down at him. The Pantheon is no exception, as he is always seen in his suit so that he could match up against any gods.
  • With so many mechas and their pilots, he gets even more frantic and claim that his is the most superior of them all. Of course, every mech trashes Tristy in everything, which makes him want to make a bigger and badder mech that would push them all down to the ground.
  • If anyone hasn't figured out yet, he named Tristy after another Yordle named Tristana, as much as he wants to deny it. Which is why he gets angry whenever Tristana hangs out with Teemo some times.
  • He still hasn't figured out how to operate the ejector seats, as it'll launch him into the sky and crash down.
  • Rumble once caught a bunch of Eliksni scrap Tristy while getting himself a drink. He was not happy of them ruining Tristy and puts them on his shitlist, even bringing out his Super Tristy to put them back in their place. It doesn't stopped them from trying to collect more parts from the suit.
  • Even among other Yordles, he is the runt-of-the-litter and gets bullied a lot. It doesn't take long for him to lose his temper to bullying and would beat up said bullies with Tristy. This is met with disapproval from Iida and Hopkins, as the former tried to reach out for Rumble of his ostracized past. Rumble, however, pushed him away and believe that he was patronizing him.
    • Despite his distrust to humans, he found misanthropes to be too much and would not hesitate to stop them.
  • Rumble founded his own mech school called "Rumble's Intense Training of Programmable Lab Suits" (or RITOPLZ). It seems to only take applications from Yordles, so there aren't any students beside Tristana. Many educators question his "trial-by-fire" teaching.
  • "Let's get in the fight!"

I was thinking about ProtoMan.EXE for Composite Character, given that he's a composite of both Classic Proto Man (Appearance) and Mega Man X's Zero (Uses swords and have long hair).

On the other hand, there's another trope good for him?

I see that Colours is now it's own house. The one who made it said to cut Colors (after all links are fixed), should I redirect it to Colours instead?

I have some proposals and cleanup ideas for the house afterwards, that is my next Pantheon priority.

So because I'm a persistent stickler to ascend Akatsuki into the Trope Pantheon... Is Preemptive "Shut Up" taken yet? Because there is a major running gag in the anime that Akatsuki knees Naotsugu whenever the latter tries to say something perverted. And that one other moment involving a kimono.

I think Seto Kaiba's profile need a little more add. Like being enemies with the child abuser deities.

Standard repost of Lance Bishop. Also who should I make Salamence's partner?

Lance Bishop, God of Red Herring Traitor Agents (Serial Number A17/TQ2.0.35100E2)

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/bishop_5.png

Salamence, God of Growing Wings (The Dragon Pokemon (in general), "The blood-soaked crescent" (Mega Salamence))

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/373salamence_5.png
Click here  for Mega Salamence
  • House: Body Parts (House of Personal Appearance)
  • Intermediate God(Greater God as Mega Salamence)
  • Symbol: His wings
  • Alignment: Chaotic Neutral
  • Gender: Male
  • Ability: Intimidate (base), Aerilate (Mega Salamence)
  • Moveset: Fly, Dragon Claw, Crunch, Fire Fang
    • Z-Move: Devestating Drake
  • Portfolio: Growing Wings, Dreamed Of Flight And Finally Achieving It, Lightning Bruiser, Clap Your Hands If You Believe, Becoming A Dick Upon Getting Flight, VERY Rare Chance Of Early Encounter In Pokémon Sun and Moon, The Fighting Narcissist, The Dreaded, Having A Mega Evolution
  • Domains: Dragons, Flight, Speed, Power, Aggression, Collisions, Dreams
  • Allies: Rayquaza, Zinnia, Ash Ketchum, Tate and Liza, the Red Gyarados, Daenerys Targaryen, Reubus Hagrid
    • Partner: TBA
  • Respects: Io, Ventuswill
  • Rival: The White Metagross
  • Enemies: Pokemon Hunter J, Ghetsis Harmonia, all cryomancers, Kyurem, Sindragosa, Jakiro, The Dovahkiin, Acnologia, Ripto (really any hater and/or hunter of dragons)
  • On poor terms with: Mushu, Spyro and non-flying dragons, the House of Celebration
  • Salamence, the Dragon Pokemon, is the final evolved form of Bagon. This Dragon-type dreams of one day flying, dashing off cliffs and falling down which it gets through with literal thick-headedness. Bagon evolves to Shelgon, and out of this chrysalis emerges the flying dragon it always dreamed to be. And as one of the strongest non-legendary Pokemon in Hoenn to boot.
  • Upon achieving flight, Salamence proceeded to fly around until it got exhausted, and act like a complete asshole by shooting fire at stuff for the lulz and marveling on its own flight and power. It takes great pride in its flying offense. The House of Celebration were not pleased by the destructive "party" it held upon being able to fly around in the pantheon, and has told him to knock it off.
  • Hunter J was disappointed that her own Salamence didn't ascend. The Salamence in the pantheon hates her like every other Pokemon who she doesn't own, and has gone on to say her Salamence is a traitor to all Salamence and Pokemon for siding with her, thinking only a Pokemon bad at heart would follow Hunter J without hesitance. Which is saying a lot from him.
  • Seems to get along with the Red Gyarados. Presumably it's because they were both relatively weak(Gyarados more so) that became monsters who cause trouble. He also seems to have a respect for, and rivalry to the White Metagross. They are the two psudeo-legendaries from Hoenn, something no other region shares, so they like to test their meddle on who's the better psuedo-legendary of the two.
  • Usually comes to rest in the House of Dragons. He likes to match flight with many other flying dragons. However he seems to be unimpressed by dragons who don't fly, particuarly Spyro who can't normally manage. He calls Spyro a pipsqueak, and treats Mushu with little respect for being a small dragon. Mushu pointed out he shouldn't be boasting about size considering he's 4 foot 11. This embarrassed Salamence, saying "only from top to bottom, not length!" and he angrily stormed off.
  • Has a deep contempt towards anyone associated with ice, as he has a x4 weakness to Ice type moves. But what really pisses him off are dragons with ice-related power, as he considers it a betrayal of everything dragons are. As such, he hates Sindragosa and Jakiro because of their ice powers. He also gets on really badly with Kyurem, a Dragon/Ice legendary.
  • Possesses even more loathing towards those that hunt dragons, and as such will attack the Dovahkiin on site. He hates Acnologia for being a dragon-loathing dragon that used to be a human, and Ripto for his Fantastic Racism towards dragons.
  • Despite his unpleasant behavior, there are dragons that Salamence behaves properly around. He respects Io as the god of dragons, and won't try something stupid like show off around him. He also acts cordially around Ventuswill. She's a winged dragon who grew happier over time, reminding him of the joy he felt when Growing Wings. Given his trainer, he also is fond of Rayquaza.
  • He gets along with Daenerys Targaryen due to her position as the mother of dragons, and will let her ride on his back. He seems to be fond of Reubus Hagrid as well, because of how he's able to handle dangerous magical animals and seems to treat him with respect.

[up]You've added Daenerys as an ally, might as well go the extra mile and make her Salamence's partner since Salamence is a dragon and Daenerys has strong connections to dragons.

I'd rather it not be another Targaryen

Some house ideas I would like clarity on

  • Regret. A Emotion sub-house for feelings of remorse, guilt, shame and atonement. Comprised of Celestial Ralgris, Kyoichiro Kuroi, Raiden, Sol Badguy (Intermediate), Oichi, Yukari Takeba (Lesser), Karin Maaka (Quasideity). Who else would fit under this?
  • Metafiction. A Narrative sub-house for when Writing Techniques gets too big. Comprised of Bernkastel, Nefarian, White Face (Greater), The Crimson Chin, Kazuya Minegishi and Hibiki Kuze (Intermediate), Wade Wilson (Lesser), the Patapons (Demigod). Who else would fit under this?

Reworking the Men In Black here. And Lan and MegaMan.EXE here.

Where should a deity representing Call of the Wild Blue Yonder go to? I need an answer so I can finish Leafa's rework.

With the Persona Overhaul approved, I hope we can work together and make this a reality. Remember, the following need to change.

  1. All Pantheon stories from Muse Hysteria onwards.
  2. The Pantheonic Rebellion and any connections between Witches and Shadows, which also affects Sayaka Miki's profile.
  3. By extension, the profiles for the Cutie Mark Crusaders, Gentaro Kisaragi, Carly Nagisa/Carmine, Gangrel and Luna Vachon, and possibly more. I don't know if the fillies will still be Broken as a result of their trip(s) to Limbo.

Finally got that fixed.

Isador Cortes, God of Machetes (Machete Cortes)

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/machete_2.jpg
  • Theme Song: Machete theme
  • Lesser God
  • Symbol: His machete
  • Alignment: True Neutral with good tendencies.
  • Portfolio: Dashing Hispanic Who was wanted for an attempted hit, Badass Biker, Mustache and Longcoat, Invincible Hero, has crazy machete throwing skills, Technical Pacifist, The Stoic,
  • Domains: Swords, Strength, War, Liberation, Protection
  • Followers: Machete, Cliff
  • Allies: John Marston, John Wick, Inigo Montoya, Zorro, Boba Fett (brielfy rivals)
  • Enemies: Jason Voorhees, Calvin Candie and Stephen, The House of Justice in general, especially Rosco P. Coltrane, Sundowner
  • Jason had ruled supreme over the Pantheon thanks to popularizing the use of machetes. But there was one man who wanted to take the throne from him. A Latino man in a bike rode to the front of the temple. With him were two massive machetes. He entered the temple without a word... but that was quickly extinguished with constant crashes, explosions and utter destruction. In the end the man returned to the front, declaring victory. Thus Machete earned his place in the Pantheon as the new God of Machetes.
    • It was not the end of Jason though. He sought refuge in a new temple for himself. But one thing is clear; he won't stop until Machete is killed and chopped up into multiple pieces.
  • His origin story is a bit blurry. Everyone agrees with the stories he told in his two films. But there were rumors he made an appearance in an earlier film. Some even believe that he appeared with a couple of kid spies as a gadget inventor. Machete has refrained from commenting on those potential cameos to avoid a Continuity Snarl.
  • While Machete does not work anywhere near a jungle, a lot of hunters (good and evil alike) have employed the use of the weapon to plow through them. It is that reason that they make up a significant number of his clergy.
  • Is sometimes under the employment of Boba Fett though the partnership can be contentious at times. For example, a few bounty hunters went after Machete after a failed hit himself. That and he hardly ever kills his victims anyways.
  • Is good friends with John Marston, who he slightly envies for getting out of the game if only for a brief time. The retired outlaw has mixed feelings for the country of Mexico. He may have played both sides of the Mexican Civil War, but Machete is no friend of eeither goverments either.
  • Had wished that John Wick could have retired as well. Instead, the mobster is in deeper than he could ever imagine. With that said, Machete refuses to take the hit on Wick. That hasn't stopped people from speculating who would win in a fight.
  • Machete is used to dealing with people who hate him for his race as well as someone who doesn't enter the US legally. Yet he did not expect hospitality from Calvin, at least not at first. Calvin allowed the Latino into his mansion to discuss matters. He was willing to let Machete walk as long as he started working for him. That and denounce his own people. It seemed like a deal for Machete when he took the slave owner's hand. That is until he used his other hand to chop Calvin's off. The ensuing gunfight tore up the entire building, but it was Machete who managed to walk out of there. He may be a criminal, but he was no sell-out.
  • Naturally, people like him aren't welcome in the House of Justice. Killer or not, Judge Dredd wants to put that man in the cube for all of his past crimes. It's not like Machete likes cops either. They always tend to get in the way of things.
    • He especially hates to deal with corrupt cops. It didn't matter which side of the border he does his work; those kind of cops are the ones who are out to get him the most. Luckily for him, Rosco is not nearly as dangerous as the ones he deals with back home.
  • Sundowner offered to sell him one of his trademark machetes for use. So it was a shock for him when Machete threw them right back at him. Working for a hit is one thing, but making a profit out of war in general left a bad taste in his mouth and he wanted no part in it.
  • While not exactly a Dashing Hispanic, he gets along fairly well against Inigo Montoya. He stated that things would probably have gone differently if the Dread Pirate simply told him of his true intentions.
  • Makes for a truly bizarre pairing with Zorro. The dashing swordsman was a bit disappointed with the current state of his country as well as that of its heroes. No longer of the charismatic kind, they have been replaced with tough and gritty characters such as Machete. Nevertheless, he suspects that Isador also seeks a better Mexico.

Young Toguro, God of the Divine Finger Poke

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/toguro.png
  • Theme song: Toguro's Theme
  • Greater God
  • Symbol: His trademark glasses
  • Alignmet: Neutral Evil
  • Portfolio: Genius Bruiser Hell Seeker, The Juggernaut, Muscles Are Meaningful, Noble Demon, Anti-Villain, Blood Knight, Shoulders of Doom, Spirited Competitor, The Heavy
  • Domains: Strength, Evil, Earth, Healing, War
  • Allies: Kessler, Albert Wesker
  • Rivals: Kenpachi Zaraki, Zarya, Cain Marko/The Juggernaut
  • Enemies: Yusuke Urameshi, Kurama, Dan Hibiki
  • Oppsed by: Hulk Hogan
  • Respected by: Kenshiro
  • Yusuke was training up for his next big adventure when he was suddenly punched in the face. The impact tossed in through a few buildings. When he got back up, he looked in surprise to see one of his old foes back from the dead. The younger of two brothers, Togura was back and ready to see what new forms Yusuke had learned. The following battle shattered the immediate area before heroes and villains alike broke them apart. Apparently Melkor was impressed with his exploits and brought him back to serve the GUAE. Togura naturally applied, only if he gets the chance to face the one who killed him once more.
    • The affair did not go entirely smoothly. Togura was content with spending the rest of his eternal life in hell for what he did. His ascension means that his life will now be spent in the Pantheon. He still follows the wishes of Melkor, but he secretly hopes that someone will be able to put him back to hell for good.
  • It may not look like it, but he is a well accomplished martial artist and is capable of performing more complex fighting styles. He only chooses to use brute strength for the simplicity of it all. It's not like he needs it; most of his fights end with his opponents overwhelmed with his sheer size.
  • Kenpachi is more than happy to give him the fight of his life. The two have fought against one another multiple times. Toguro seeks after other Blood Knights are they are the most likely people to see to his desire to be sent straight to hell.
  • The same can be said for Kessler, who also seeks someone who could kill him. Of course one of their deaths would only have them brought back. Kressler did offer Toguro the opportunity to go back in time to fix his past mistakes. It is something Toguro has put in the back burner for future use.
  • Wesker has taken an interest in the Noble Demon's use of demonic energy. He hopes that there is a way to harness this energy to his own benefits, making him even stronger than ever. The former STARS agent does not think that Toguro would hand over the secret willingly, as the later is only doing so for his own pleasures.
  • Heroes and villains alike look up to the man's techniques. For good-aligned deities, a finger poke is a safer way to knock out someone far weaker than you. For the evil-aligned, it's a great way to scare the crap out of subordinates after killing one with just a poke. But for all, it's just such a cool way to knock out/kill someone.
  • Does not like the concept of the Joke Character, seeing such people unworthy of the prestige of the Pantheon. Dan Hibiki took offense to that remark and challenged him to a match... which went as well as everyone expected. Toguro doesn't object to fights with weaker opponents however as he sees it as a way to cull the weak of the Pantheon.
  • He was seen as the person who put the most use out of his bulging muscles. That is until Zarya stole the show and ascended because of it. The Russian was not fazed with the newcomer, willing to fight him if he chooses to. Debating aside, Toguro lets things be for now. Zarya does have evil-aligned characters in her flock.
  • Another rival that has emerged was The Juggernaut himself. He did not take kindly to someone looking as implacable as him and has been itching to face the demon one-on-one to settle things.
  • Make no mistake; Kenshiro will not tolerate Toguro's murders and he will be around to beat him down. Yet he can't help but respect the man. Anyone who has bulged himself to such a mass must have underwent years of training. He also figured Toguro to be a Noble Demon who seeks a challenge to end him. If it could be anyone, Kehshiro is willing to be one to fulfill his request.
  • To Hulk Hogan, it only reminds him of the most embarrassing moment of his career. A move meant to unite the two heel groups ended up destroying his own wrestling brand. Toguro holds no remorse, calling Hogan's use a disgrace of the practice and that he deserved all the scrutiny he got.

@Roku: I haven't said this about the New Face team. But... I would have to [tdown] that.

Look, just because they were an example of that trope doesn't mean that they instantly have legibility. Are they REALLY the best example for that? I'm not quite sure about that, it felt a little... gratuitous. Hell, I don't think how they killed themselves are their most notorious trait. Their reveal (that they're Orochi's men despite looking harmless beforehand) seems more prominent than how they killed themselves.

Well, that's my thought. Sorry I didn't say for so long.

@PokescinLegend: I would suggest that your mentality doesn't revolve in "I must ascend this guy no matter what". You still need to find a good trope that fit them best, and not based on "Oh, they're an example of the trope, they must fit!". It should be more or less similar to Most Triumphant Example.
