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.

@ Snake Plissken: [tup]

I couldn't figure any notable things about Benjamin Franklin from Assassins Creed. Other than that, should I add stuff to him or what?

Benjamin Franklin, God of Improvised Lightning Rods

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/ben_franklin.jpg
  • House: Fire and Electricity (House of Nature)
  • Quasideity
  • Symbol: A US $100 bill
  • Theme Song: The Decemberists
  • Alignment: Chaotic Good
  • Portfolio: Historical Domain Character, Cool Old Guy, Improvised Lightning Rod, Sleeping Around As An Old Man And Having No Problem Doing So, Likes Older Women, I Was Quite a Looker, Having 16 Siblings, Eccentric Mentors, Bunny-Ears Lawyer, Big Fun
  • Domains: Electricity, Invention, Revolution, Humor, Lust, Reason
  • Allies: George Washington and the other U.S Presidents, AMERICA, Steve Rogers/Captain America, Doc Brown, The Doctor, George, Jamie Hyneman and Adam Savage, Tyrion Lannister, Thor, Sparky, Sandy Cheeks, Albert Einstein, Lewis Anthonio, Ludwig Von Drake, Jimmy Neutron
  • Friends with Benefits and/or "bro" to: Kyu Sugardust, Panty Anarchy, Jiraiya, Master Roshi, Barney Stinson, Charlie Harper, Johnny Bravo (on a good day)
  • On good terms with: Wade Wilson/Deadpool, other good-aligned inventors, the Planet Express crew
  • On speaking terms with: Timmy Turner, C.C
  • Enemies: Doctor Stephen Strange, Walder Frey, Bill Cipher, Senator Steven Armstrong, The Enclave, Judge Claude Frollo, Eneru
  • Opposes: YHVH, evil inventors and scientists
  • Annoyed by: Zeus
  • Benjamin Franklin is one of the American Founding Fathers. An inventor, he's most well-known for the invention of the lightning rod which he tested out with a kite in a lightning storm and it helped mankind's understanding of lightning and electricity. He also invented bifocals, the Franklin stove and many other inventions. This combined with his charm, wit and humor has him ingrained as the Cool Old Guy of the Founding Fathers.
  • Has a reputation as an eccentric and goofy yet competent inventor and philanthropist. He was very impressed by the progress of mankind in the centuries since his death. Naturally he gets along with Albert Einstein for his achievements, genial nature and not being afraid to be silly. He hopes to see both Jimmy Neutron, Sandy Cheeks and Lewis Anthonio progress in their inventive skills and has been helping them along.
  • Since it's become so ubiquitous with him and are nicknamed "Benjamins", he felt a US $100 note would be the most practical symbol. He wrote his signature on the back. He has become aware of Bill Cipher's connection with the Eye of Providence on the notes, and isn't pleased by the triangle's sadistic chaos or manipulation of scientists and inventors. He's not that fond of YHVH either, due to his deist views and YHVH being antithetical to the Second Amendment and a religious authoritarian.
  • Proved lightning was electricity rather than the wrath of an angry God. Though it was more the static lightning starts off as he wouldn't survive otherwise, and he grounded himself while being dry under a roof. Zeus was somewhat annoyed by this since his claim to fame was that lightning WAS the wrath of an angry god, and Benjamin think he's a prick. Thor proved a nicer god of thunder and lightning anyway, and someone who's more with the times.
  • Admires the Mythbusters for being forces of science and reason, debunking myths about the field. He gets along with Tyrion Lannister as well since he's a competent and honest adviser who has a great sense of humor and Really Gets Around like him. He seems to be fond of Sparky, and is interested in George's powers over electricity.
  • Something that comes up about Benjamin Franklin is his sexual exploits. Even as an old man he Really Gets Around. He's given advise on how to get a mistress, and believes older women are better lovers for their experience and less likely to get pregnant. You can usually find him in either Lust sub-house, giving advice on how to score. He's been working with Kyu Sugardust to help guys date and/or get laid.
  • A consummate Dirty Old Man, you can usually seem him trying to pick up chicks or discussing lewd matters with Jiraiya and Master Roshi. Despite being old and fate, Panty has made him a Friends with Benefits for his wit, humor and being "experienced". However there are a couple dirty old men he has nothing but contempt for. First of which being Frollo for his hypocritical attitude towards sex, genocidal ambitions and the violent acts he'll go to enforce his religious views. The other is Walder Frey, whom Franklin thought of "a class-less philanderer prick with a bad sense of humor" and who's violation of Sacred Hospitality is unforgivable.
  • As a Founding Father, Steve Rogers holds him up in high regard. Franklin is incredibly proud of Captain America for how he's defended the country and the world at large. Naturally America himself gets along swimmingly with him. And naturally he thinks the Enclave is an abominable perversion of the American values he helped develop, and believes that Senator Steven Armstrong is insane.
  • His ghost later helped Deadpool fight off the zombie presidents, and he hanged out at Deadpool's home before moving on. There is one Marvel character that can't stand him, however-Stephen Strange. Doctor Strange hates Benjamin Franklin with a passion for the affair he had with his girlfriend Clea. More accurately it was the wizard Stygyro disguising himself as Franklin, but Franklin still made some moves on Clea and Doctor Strange still hates him anyway since he may have slept with her for real.
  • Timmy brought him along with George Washington and Thomas Jefferson. It didn't work out well for history until he brought them back to their proper timeline. They still have conflicting opinions on him. Benjamin is less conflicted over the time that the Planet Express crew ended up in 1775, and got to spend some time with them. The Doctor also met him and they ended up as friends, supposedly helping him with the kite experiment.
  • Has a son called William Franklin, who was a steadfast Loyalist and their relationship never reconciled. William's son, William Temple Franklin, ended up helping out his grandfather instead. He's been visiting the House of Family in order to talk out his issues over this. Also, he would like to remind people he was never president...of America, at least. He was President of Pennsylvania shortly before George Washington become the first US President.
  • In her timeline, C.C is heavily implied to have known him personally, and been on good terms. However since he betrayed George Washington for a title of Britannian nobility and land in that universe, he doesn't like to talk about it. He is perfectly happy to confirm he was friends with Barney Stinson's ancestor and helped write the Bro Code. He didn't partake in a "Devil's Threesome" though...at least not with George Washington.

Computer's acting up, so I will add more later.

Leroy Jethro Gibbs, God of Making Perps Sweat and the Dope Slap (Gunnery Sergeant Alvin Thomas, Leland Robert Spears)

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/LeroyJethroGibbsNCIS_5376.png
  • Theme Song: NCIS theme
  • Demigod
  • Symbol: His badge
  • Alignment: Lawful Good
  • Portfolio: Broken Bird Cowboy Cop with a Last-Name Basis, Experienced Protagonist, Badass Grandpa, Deadpan Snarker, The Comically Serious, Dented Iron, Born in the Wrong Century, Silver Fox, Terse Talker, Military Maverick, ultimately and Papa Wolf and A Father to His Men
  • Domains: War, Law, Good,
  • Followers: His unit, both current and former agents Elliot Stabler
  • Allies: Abby Sciuto, Litchi Faye-Ling, Gil Grissom, Gregory House, Jack Bauer, Gene Hunt, Bright Noa
  • Enemies:
  • The Pantheon is home of many deities renowned for their interrogation techniques. Yet no one has obtained such a massive following for it as Gibbs. His mortal lancer Tony in particular was responsible for hyping up his boss for being an unstoppable hunting machine. He stated that bad guys would rather confess than be interrogated by him, that his steely gaze can cool a room by five degrees, and that he can only be killed by a silver bullet. (They're all true, except for the silver bullet part. Might give him indigestion or heartburn, but I don't think it would kill him.) It helps that Gibbs was also around to give Tony a Dope Slap when he went out of line. While most of the rumors were (likely to be) false, it was enough to give him a huge following. It didn't take long for him to gain a spot in the Pantheon.
    • Was glad to see Abby become the first of his team to ascend into the Pantheon. The Perky Goth was glad to be proven right about his deification, though she would have never thought she would join in his ranks. The two hope to bring more of his teammates into the fold.
  • Both Jack Bauer and Gene Hunt have given their respects to the man over the years. Bauer himself has enjoyed renown on the internet and is happy to work with Gibbs' department every once in a while. Gene only gives his respect begrudgingly, but admits the man does good work.
  • Is the long-time friend of Gil Grisson, their partners from the same network. While the two never got to meet each other in person, both of their shows were instrumental in popularizing the Forensic Drama genre. In the Pantheon, Gibbs finds the evidence while Gil analyzes it in order to give Gibbs crucial date to find perps.
    • While performing the art of interrogation, Gibbs only has one rule: you never interrupt him during an interrogation. Ever. Many a poor deity-in-training has learned this the hard way.
  • It's been rumored if Gibbs and Bright were to exchange notes and learned each other's talent, the combined slap would permanently cure someone of all forms of folly, stupidity, cowardice, and stubbornness.
  • Dr. House isn't much of a pleasure to work with in any case, but Gibbs respects him for being one of the few people who won't put up with his shit. Gibbs even decided to assign the mean doctor as his personal doctor.

Mary Ryan, God Tomboys (Blue Mary) [

  • There has been a growing need for a deity to represent tomboys in general. The problem was that there were so many of them in The Multiverse that it was impossible to get a consensus on who would get the title. The one solution that everyone could agree with was an all-out brawl among the candidates to decide the winner. And after a grueling 5 hours of combat, one person remained: a half-Japanese biker girl codenamed Blue Mary emerged victorious and took the title.
    • It was clear that Terry was happy to have her make her presence in the Pantheon. It looked like she would be forgotten in the pages of history, but she managed a last-minute entry into the latest tournament. Out of all the KOF girls, she is seen as the most likely to hook up with the Legendary Wolf. Neither person would comment further.
    • It was an awkward reunion for Blue Mary's first teammates in the King of Fighters tournament. That's because her teammates were Ryuji and Billy Kane, associates of Geese Howard. She worked undercover in order to get dirt on the Southtown gang members. The two reacted to her ascension in typical fashion: with Kane making a shrug and Ryuji going straight to her temple to exact revenge. Luckily, this was foreseen as many of her friends were waiting to push him back.
    • Mai was a teammate of hers in a couple tournaments and was much more excited about Mary's ascension. While her friend's bust size surpasses her own, she was happy to have another home girl in the Pantheon.

About Colours, any objections to moving Char Aznable to be a member of the Duo Trio of Colour (I think the juxtaposition with him and Rainbow Dash being in the same group would be hilarious)? And also adding Meowstic to Light and Dark Colors?

@Plissken: On the sentence with the Sinner, change who has to to who's had to. They're free now in the Pantheon.

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. Should I wait for a new house to come up? I was lucky Hair Abilities came around by the time it was time to ascend Princess Poppy and Branch for Magic Hair.

LLENN will ascend tomorrow. Repost of Mina, Akira, and Yuki the day after. Bones and Booth ascend the day after that.

For the pre-ascension lore, I'm having a friend of Sunset being involved in hinting the EqGs in on the Pantheon's nature by their very presence. Should it be Xion, Axl, or Zuko?

The Chosen One, God of Unrealistic Martial Arts

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/the_chosen_one_lol.jpeg
  • Lesser God
  • Symbol: His… gopher-chucks
  • Alignment: Neutral Good, but can also be Chaotic Stupid at times
  • Portfolio: Hilariously Unrealistic Martial Arts, The Chosen One, Raised By Various Desert Animals, Mighty Whitey Despite Asian Parents, Narm Charm, So Bad, It's Good, Funny Bruce Lee Noises, Gopher Chucks, Affectionate Parody to low-budget Kung Fu films, It Makes Sense in Context… actually, nothing makes any sense at all
  • Domain(s): Martial Arts (Spoofed), Destiny, Slapstick
  • Heralds: Tonguey (his tongue), Dog (his pet dog)
  • Allies: Po
  • Teeth-Clenched Teamwork: All other (serious) good-aligned martial artists
  • Rivals: All other (serious) non-evil-aligned martial artists
  • Enemies: All killers ("killing is badong!")
  • Distrusts: Aliens, particularly those who are French
  • Opposed by: all cows and whales, Tauros
  • Conflicting Opinion:
  • Martial arts are regarded as a perfect fighting style when facing an opponent without resorting to weapons, and are seen as a great tool to develop one’s own character. Some characters take them to new levels, but are still serious enough to be forgiven. And then there’s this guy, who purposefully defy all laws of martial arts and make his fighting style really… wacko, to say the least.
  • As stated, his fighting style and his irresponsible demeanor gets him mixed reactions from most of the martial artist deities out there.
  • At least he and Po can relate to each other in one thing.
  • He doesn’t have a name, he’s only called the Chosen One. Why? Because there’s a face on his tongue, and his name is Tonguey.
  • Owns a classic red convertible. No one knows how he procured it in Imperial China and he has no answer.
  • He has gopher-chucks, which are naturally made of gophers with a rope tied between them. Understandably, Chip and Dale and some other mouse-related deities are very annoyed at his reckless handling of the gophers, not that he (or the gophers used) cares though.
  • No (ascended) martial arts master worth their salt would ever consider training anybody incorrectly. Except some real life masters really do that for students they deem unworthy. They do admit to toughening up the practicioners' skin (though not to the extent of using mercury from a thermometer).
  • Apparently, his story is akin to an Abridged Series long before LittleKuriboh created Yu-Gi-Oh! The Abridged Series.
  • Simba doesn't believe for a second that his father showed up to guide the Chosen One, despite the "martial artist" saying so. And with Mufasa himself missing, there's no way to (dis)prove it.
  • For some inexplicable reason, while wandering in the House of Beasts, something about the Chosen One peeved Miltank something fierce and she engaged him in battle. And unlike Moon Yuu, she was dangerously competent. And she got really furious once he grabbed her teats in an attempt to drain her like he did the other cow (of course, she smacked his hands off when he did that).
    • And it was around that time that Tauros was about to pay her a visit, and seeing the Chosen One do that (well, fighting Miltank at all) turned him furious too, and he shortly joined the fray. The two Pokémon shortly double-teamed him, but the Chosen One was not through. (Un)fortunately, everyone else intervened and separated the three (well, they kept the two Pokémon close) and a restraining order has been placed on the Chosen One to make sure this doesn't happen again (despite Miltank being the instigator).

@Roku: ... And that wasn't canon? And was that a most triumphant example and how they exemplified it well, better than a lot of other examples? I just wanna make sure you're not rushing too much in filling up tropes. I really have an aversion about "It's an example of this, they did this once, so they're eligible!". Sorry if I have too high of a standard.

@Blue Mary: ... Why does tomboy sound a bit forced on her? Was she a most notorious tomboy amongst the media? She might not indulge in many feminine actions, but... I dunno, I'm just not too sure about her being the rep for Tomboy. Usually a tomboy would have to be called out as one, or noticed that themselves, like admitting that they fared better with boys. I'm not sure if Mary does that a lot.

  • House ideas
    • Character Roles is getting pretty hefty, having 28 examples. Should we make a new Characterization sub-house, and if so what? Would Character Reveals fit, and if so who would fit under that?
    • Insanity is reaching a size limit, having 28 examples. What should we do to alleviate this?
    • When Divinity gets too big, I suggest it be split into Divine Personalities (for the character of the divinity) and Divine Roles (for what divine role they have, like being a war god)

What should I add to Salamence?

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, Double Edge, Flamethrower
    • 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
  • 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
  • Unclear opinion on: Petrie
  • 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.
  • His love of flight led him to form a partnership with Annabelle for having a wish to fly one day and achieving it. Given her compassionate nature and Salamence's Jerkass attitude, it was pretty peculiar they got along...or maybe Salamence still has some softness in him. His passion for flight has led him to be very confused about Petrie, given she's a pterosaur with an ironic fear of flying. He feels bad that anyone would be afraid of the gift of flight, but can't for the life of him understand why a flying creature like Petrie would.
  • 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.
