Welcome to the Trope Pantheons thread! Please read the rules:
- When writing a profile, take note of the following:
- Gods cannot be followers or high priests for obvious reasons. The 'gods' have ascended meaning there is no need for said character to be a follower of another if they have ascended.
- No hype profiles, please. 'Hype Profiles' are profiles that have been made out of ongoing events and have not been around for a long time. This creates 'hype' due to popularity and certain elements either through certain scenes, memes, dramatic acting or considered overly awesome. They are not bad tropes but building a portfolio solely for that is a bad idea, as they do not say a thing about representing the trope best (unless it's those trope concepts that they are trying to embody for a long time)
- You can see one if the profile is only showing off how awesome they are or suddenly pushing how 'significant' they are thanks to the just very recent events rather than respecting the longstanding good representations of the trope. And usually having... minimum portfolio or flavor texts and being a bit too generalized or self-contained to events from within their home series instead of interacting with other Pantheon members.
- When posting in the forum, take note of the following:
- When you suggest a God, please explain why they fit the trope. Not everyone is going to understand just "X should be the God of Y because they exemplify the trope" off the bat, especially if they're unfamiliar with the work.
- You must use the Trope Pantheons discussion thread in the forums if you wish to add a new deity, story, something else of importance to the Trope Pantheon canon, or reworking an existing deity (be it simply improving their existing profile or changing their title).
- For new and reworked deities, 3 means the profile will have a one week waiting period.
- For new and reworked deities, 4 is a 3 day waiting period.
- 5 is an automatic ascension for new and reworked deities.
- Speaking of reworks, for anyone that wants to improve such profiles, they have to review the current trope the character(s) has and see if it still holds up or if there is a better rep for their trope.
- For adding new Treasures to The Great Treasury or new Dominions to the Dominions, the following rules apply:
- For new Treasures or Dominions, 3 is a 3 day waiting period.
- 4 is an automatic addition to the Great Treasury or Dominions.
- Do not repost a profile in the forums more than twice in a day if noticeable changes have not been made in between. If a profile is posted a third time in a row without noticeable alterations, it will be downvoted. This is so spamming of no-effort profiles is less frequent and to prevent tropers from getting aggravated seeing the same profile over and over. The minimum acceptable change has to be a single flavour text.
- The Pantheon is not a mouthpiece for you to voice your opinions on certain characters. You may like certain characters more than others, but do not make the mistake of making profiles for characters you like look like Character Shilling.
- Tropers new to the Pantheon are barred from approving or downvoting profiles until they have ascended at least two profiles.
- Do not include fan reception in any profiles. It has nothing to do with the character themselves and will create unnecessary conflict.
- Write a detailed explanation on why the character is the best candidate for deity of that trope. If people disagree with you, do not force it on the people.
- Keep in mind that if you still want to try to find a trope for a particular character, you are only given three chances to find a particular trope for them. If a suggestion goes past three possible tropes, then it will come off as shoehorning a character into the Pantheon just for the sake of that character to be there.
- On a related note, even if a character does have a free trope being suggested, there is still a limit of three attempts for suggesting that character for that trope. If no one responds to that certain proposal after being posted three times, then it will get to the point where the idea will be seen as being shoehorned into the Pantheon. In addition, the idea needs to be considered acceptable and approved because they are good, not for the sake of pitying others because no one is responding to their idea.
- When posting Pantheon related stuff to the wiki, take note of the following:
- Do not put a link to these Pantheon pages into the main wiki page. The moment you want to add in a main Characters page that the character is a God of this trope, do not do it. If you see leftovers of this practice, inform the forum and use the cutlist. This also goes to the Trivia page. The only exception to this rule is if a page in the Pantheon could be confused for a page in Main, like Good Colors, Evil Colors and Good and Evil Colors.
- Rule of Cautious Editing Judgment ALSO applies here. Do not bring things that would incite fights, even if it is what is currently the hot topic and might be 'urgent'. For example, the political scene and some really bad politicians. We are not here to fight at each other, so don't suggest things that go to that direction, this is a fictional Pantheon after all.
- To add a Pantheon page for a certain work, 4 or more characters coming from the same series/franchise should be ascended before adding the page. For Creator specific pages, 4 deities coming from the same creator and 2 individual work pages coming from the same creator is the minimum to warrant a page.
- Do not create a trope page for a story until the story is fully completed.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
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.

The headlline's still wrong.
Hello, my baby. Hello, my honey. Hello, my ragtime gal.Is there any image of Serena without Fennekin? That would be better for her since it makes it seems like she comes with a Fennekin (who is supposed to be a Braixen anyway)
Uni catI've got another nomination ready.
The Headless Horseman, The Deified Head-Hunter
Reason: Although there are plenty of legends and myths revolving around headless horsemen (many dating back to the Middle Ages) Washington Irving's incarnation of the figure is arguably the most famous example of the trope.
EDIT: Never mind. Just learned it's been taken.
DOUBLE EDIT: My nomination is opened again!
Edited by Bazzardreturns on Aug 19th 2018 at 8:37:22 AM
Time to explore the world!Already taken
Do we give the trope to someone who named it or should be kept with Celty, who happens to be a Dullahan that inspired the story in the first place.
I say changing Celty is the best option
Uni catMy Horse Is a Motorbike as alternative for Celty?
Fire Emblem Heroes Code: 4547311645 Fate/Grand Order Code: 188037115I agree with Faso. Celty can have a new trope, free of charge.
Edited by Bazzardreturns on Aug 19th 2018 at 8:38:18 AM
Time to explore the world!Celty can have a new trope that fits her character, and the Headless Horseman can move in and make good use of the trope given to him. Sounds like a plan.
Time to explore the world!The Headless Horseman is the Trope Codifier and Trope Namer, so it deserves to get the trope.

- One day, at the Pantheonic Dominions, while Sunset Shimmer was visiting Canterlot High and chatting with her friends, one of her friends in the Pantheon (who was unfortunately not Twilight, Spike, or Starlight) came over with news of a crisis they need her help in. Sunset's Canterlot High friends immediately decided they were coming with and could not be reasoned against. Being short on time, Sunset's Pantheon friend let them come along. (notes:Should it be Xion, Axl, or Zuko?)
- After the crisis was averted (and incidentally, no other deity from Equestria was present during it), Sunset and company were about to head back to Canterlot High when someone asked what their school was like. It seemed innocuous enough as they managed to return without incident.
- The next day, however, a summons from the Court of the Gods was sent to the six non-Pantheon citizens and they were required to answer it as soon as they were able. As it turns out, that person who "interviewed" them earlier found their high school life to be of great interest, and petitioned for their ascension.
- There was one issue, though, which was discovered during the ascension ceremony where they were also greeted by all of their pony counterparts (not just Princess Twilight): how will they be addressed so as not to be confused with the ponies who've resided in the Pantheon long before them? After all, they share the same exact names, and personality-wise they're not too different.
- So far, these instances weren't prevalent back then because of varying reasons:
- They're different in personality and backstory (Superman and his Regime counterpart, Elphaba Thropp and the Wicked Witch of the West, Classic/God of War/Smite!Zeus and Disney!Zeus)
- They share the same temple (human and AI Chiaki Nanamis, manga, game, and anime Sabrinas, Pacifist and Berserker Iji Kataisers, and Black!Dollface and 2012!Dollface)
- The alternate personalities are melded in some way (all The Legend of Zelda deities, all deities with counterparts in different media like manga/anime, literature/film, etc.)
- On the other hand, due to the above reasons, this isn't exactly new; they're not the same people, they're their equivalents from a separate and distinct parallel universe, just like with the Mirror Universe in Star Trek, so they'll come up with something later.
- So far, these instances weren't prevalent back then because of varying reasons:
- Applies to all or some of them:
- As a friend of Sunset, Gentaro was quick to befriend her friends in Canterlot High. And in regards to the "Project", just like her, he would roll his eyes and brush it aside…most of it anyway if Pinkie starts being Innocently Insensitive.
- Have met with Equestria's/the Pantheon's Cutie Mark Crusaders and are concerned with how much trouble they get into compared to their world's, pitied how they've struggled big time to find their purpose in life, and somewhat proud in (now that they've accomplished the latter) how they've started teaching what they've learned to others. They also told the fillies that in their world, CMC (still formed by the EQG!trio) stands for Canterlot Movie Club.
- Due to still feeling the need to make amends, and because she doesn't know whether or not they've known her counterpart in their world, Gilda has avoided them, especially their Rainbow, Pinkie, and Fluttershy.
- Have been invited to join the Sisterhood and they've considered signing up. Folks have also noted how often their Magical Girl outfits changed.
- Some of them are licensed to drive: that said, aside from Sunset, only Rarity, Applejack, and (surprisingly for some reason) Fluttershy have been confirmed with driving experience. The last even has some rhymes for guidance, though they may be a tad annoying. Of course, driving tests have been arranged for the rest just to make sure.
- On occasion, the group play songs and perform shows for the House of Music as The Rainbooms. That's where they met more enemies of the Dazzlings, like the Vocaloid Miku Hatsune, and one of the trio's allies Ember McLain.
- Upon seeing the video "Fortress Mercenaries", they had to admit that it was actually remarkable that someone made something with non-singing voices and made it a fun thing to watch.
- As for this one, they were much less impressed given its message.
- Exclusive to Rainbow Dash:
- Has a more amicable friendship with the Flash than her pony counterpart since he's taken the time to tutor her in "speedster combat", though he has to remember that she doesn't access the Speed Force, and overusing her powers can result in Power Incontinence for not just her but her friends as well.
- Exclusive to Pinkie Pie:
- She was certainly surprised to hear that her pony counterpart also has a baby alligator named Gummy…except it's a real one instead of a plushie.
- Is confused with the speculations that Dan is in a relationship with her. His love-hate relationship with the Equstrian deities has also extended to them, and she's not seeing anything in him that she loves. Still, it wouldn't hurt to try and get him to lighten up.
- There's some difficultly when it came to working with Princess Bubblegum, who keeps her at arm's length at all times and with no physical contact since Pinkie's powers run the risk of exploding her since she's made of candy. That said, she can see its value, especially when combined with her candy-making powers, or (in dire circumstances) even taking off pieces of her "hair" as ammunition for Pinkie.
- Speaking of sugar, there are those who worry that this might extend to sugar in a person's body. This revelation left Pinkie in a stupor for days before treating herself to some Brain Bleach.
- Had as much luck trying to cheer up Yasha as her pony counterpart, even when they're planning together.
- While Maud can't (and shouldn't) regard her just like her own sister, the rock farmer is still willing to lend an ear or hoof when she can.
- Exclusive to Applejack:
- Despite several other deities eclipsing even her powers, there are those who still wish to challenge her in strength-based contests.
- Exclusive to Rarity:
- While not as much of a fashion designer like her pony counterpart (in fact, she only works at such a boutique rather than owns one), she's gotten acquainted with most of the deities related to the fashion industry.
- Exclusive to Fluttershy:
- Doesn't really like it when folks take her along for help concerning really dangerous supernatural beasts, which is more her pony counterpart's purview, who in turn is also tired of this confusion. Even with her powers, she doesn't profess to be that good, not to mention her lack of experience with the Pantheon's denizens. Thankfully, on occasion, Discord would pitch in and swap the two's locations, and over time the Pantheon has learned their differences.
- Once in a while, though, he would instead swap their bodies or swap their minds and souls just for laughs (to clarify, the former means to change their bodies to each other's and the latter means to swap their locations while maintaining their bodies' positions).
- Even if animals might distract her in class, never insinuate that she's using them to cheat. She's pretty proficient by herself, at least in complex mathematics.
- At a promise by her counterpart, Agent 47 has decided to keep her out of danger if he can. She's not sure how to appreciate this offer. At least he hadn't offered any free assassinations.
- Doesn't really like it when folks take her along for help concerning really dangerous supernatural beasts, which is more her pony counterpart's purview, who in turn is also tired of this confusion. Even with her powers, she doesn't profess to be that good, not to mention her lack of experience with the Pantheon's denizens. Thankfully, on occasion, Discord would pitch in and swap the two's locations, and over time the Pantheon has learned their differences.
- Exclusive to Twilight Sparkle:
- As someone who had once researched magic in a scientific way, even though it had been disastrous for her, she hopes to have better luck by working with other more experienced people.
- She's also experienced in engineering (she had to have made that magic-absorbing device somehow) and robotics (she can make one with telescopic arms with enough strength to move a huge school play set piece on its own).
- Despite being a fellow scientist, Princess Bubblegum's contempt for magic despite its prevalence in her world is off-putting for Twilight.
The Chosen One, God of Unrealistic Martial Arts
- Potential House: Martial Arts
- s:
- 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
- Herald: 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 (at least those who can take him seriously)
- Enemies: All killers ("killing is badong!")
- Distrusts: Aliens, particularly those who are French
- Opposed by: all cows and whales, Tauros
- 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.
- There's also the fact that he once used a squirrel as a Pocket Protector.
- 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).

TV Tropes Pantheon Group Members DatabaseI've always wondered the relations between FGO's Hessian Lobo (Shinjuku Avenger) and the original Headless Horseman... Don't blame me, I don't put much attention in EoR Shinjuku.
Also it has come to my attention that as more Dead Or Alive 6 information gets put out, Lei-Fang has appeared WITHOUT Qipao. Can we really still keep her title of Qipao? She has another trope, Shes Got Legs... and she's NOT wearing it in this new costume.
I hope people will be wary about suggesting new entries... just merely an example isn't a good basis to propose for that entry, because the above could easily happen!
Any seafarers?
King Daphnes Nohanseen Hyrule, God of Building an Utopia for Others (The King of Red Lions)
- Lesser God
- Symbol: The King of Red Lions
- Theme Song: King Hyrule Appears, Farewell King Hyrule
- Alignment: Lawful Good
- Portfolio: The King in the form of The King of Red Lions that can talk, Mentor and Guide to Link to give the world a new future, Existed before the Great Flood, Big Good, Stayed in the Flooding of Hyrule to wash away the relic of the past for the future, Walking Spoiler
- Domains: King, Past and Future, Boat
- 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: Link, Zelda, Medli
- Enemies: Ganondorf
- King Daphnes Nohanseen Hyrule was the last king of the old Kingdom of Hyrule that witnessed Ganondorf's bloody return and the flooding by the Goddesses. When Ganondorf broke the seal and wreak havoc on the flooded world, the King assumed the form of the King of Red Lions to search for the Hero and his descendant. In the final battle, Ganondorf assembled the Triforce but before he could make his wish, King Hyrule touched the ancient relic and wished for the destruction of Hyrule and stayed behind, alongside the stone statue of Ganondorf, so that the new world can have a future.
- Though he appears as his original form, he primarily assume his form as the King of Red Lions, a boat that let Link sail through the Great Sea.
For the King I would think he'd be wary of some of the pirates in the Pantheon currently such as Euron Greyjoy and Captain Hook. Also can there be some text referencing the King in the Zelda CDI games? Like for example he'd be greatly annoyed with people asking him what's for dinner or if his ship sails in the morning, even though he was the ship for a time.
Time to explore the world!I mean, the Zelda of Wind Waker is Tetra and she has a pirate crew. I guess some unkempt pirates is something even he might not tolerate.
Fire Emblem Heroes Code: 4547311645 Fate/Grand Order Code: 188037115PT Imp Group, Deitified Mini Mooks
- Demideities
- Symbol:
- Alignment: Neutral Evil
- Portfolio: Mini Mook, Enfant Terrible, Come in Groups of Three And Possibly in Multiple Packs, Fragile Speedster, Giggling Villain
- Domains: Mooks, Infants, Patrol Torpedo Boats
- Allies: The rest of the Abyssal Fleet (Wo-Class, Re-Class, Air Defense Princess, Seaport Princess, Northern Ocean Princess)
- Enemies:
- The Abyssal Fleet is composed of many types of enemies within a sliding scale of humanoid. And in the more human side of things, the "physical age" appearance may vary. While the Fleet Girls thought that they wouldn't see anything younger than a young child like Northern Ocean Princess, they suddenly discovered that within their ranks existed manifestation of the "devil boats" they had to face in the past... in the form of babies.
- PT Imp Group's main claim to fame is their absurd evasive capabilities. They can avoid just about anything unless specific equipment are used. And back in the days only Destroyers had any real chance to hitting them. And maybe not even that. Fortunately outside of that they are really fragile and outside of their torpedoes don't possess much firepower. That being said, they tend to come in large groups to make things harder to focus on the main threat.
- Heavy Weapons Guy, Who likes to call his foes babies, couldn't believe what he saw when seeing them, as not even he would have thought he would have to fight actual babies in his life.
Now that I've ascended Karen/LLENN, I realized something. Muscle Angst is also fit for two variants! Chihiro Fujisaki represents the "not enough muscle" variety. Who can represent the "too much muscle" variety? Ooh! New candidate ideas!
Just putting it out here for you guys to pick from.
- ???, Goddess of Issues With Excess Muscle
- Candidates: Biske, Lune Zoldark, Titanium Maiden, Anvil/Kenya Cassidy

TV Tropes Pantheon Group Members DatabaseChris@BUT you can't see her legs.
I wasn't the one who added her. Someone else added her on the basis of merely 'an example', not exactly the best one to take the thing.
It's an old pantheon problem with a mindset that a lot seemed to carry out even today. Barebones too, which made me wonder how Faso hasn't applied the "FASO ROLLER DA" on it, yet.
... Oh, I'm sorry. Shoulda been "BY FIRE BE PURGED! DIE, INSECT!"

What house should Hydreigon be in? What should I add?
Hydreigon, God of Late Character Syndrome (The Brutal Pokemon)
- House: Game Mechanics (House of Gaming)
- Intermediate God
- Symbol: Its three heads
- Alignment: Chaotic Neutral
- Gender: Male
- Ability: Levitate
- Moveset: Dragon Pulse, Dark Pulse, Flash Cannon, Flame Blast
- Z-Move: Black Hole Eclipse
- Portfolio: Black Eyes of Crazy, Ax-Crazy Dark Dragons, Extreme Omnivore, Magikarp Power, Really Evil-Looking But Can Still Be Good, initial Multiple Head Case (possible Split-Personality Merge), Orochi, Taking Ages To Get, Incredibly Versatile Movepool, The Dreaded, Numerical Theme Naming
- Domains: Darkness, Destruction, Polycephaly, Aggression, Dragons, Monsters
- Allies: The Red Gyarados, Oda Nobunaga, Tyranitar, Darkrai, Primeape, Tyrantrum, Tiamat, Jakiro, Ruined Dragon, N Harmonia, Ragnaros the Firelord, Reubus Hagrid
- Partner: Daenerys Targaryen
- Rival: King Ghidorah (somewhat one-sided on Hydreigon's part)
- Enemies: The House of Fairies, Ghetsis Harmonia, Godzilla, those who hate and/or hunt dragons like the Dovahkiin, Acnologia
- Hydreigon is the Brutal Pokemon, and the final evolved form of Deino. A blind dragon, Deino evolves into the two-headed Zwelious at Level 50, where the heads squabbled for food. At Level 64, the highest of ANY Pokemon, Zwelious becomes Hydreigon. With three heads(though only one brain), this ferocious dragon devours and destroys all within its path. Not that this stops it from being really affectionate in Pokemon Amie.
- Being a temperamental three-headed dragon, the ascended Targaryens were immediately attracted to the Brutal Pokemon and wanted to ride the beast. Hydreigon felt some kinship as his kind, like the Targaryens, can vary from totally psychotic as the Pokedex suggests or creeps like Ghetsis hope, or nice like being Iris' signature as champion. One even served Oba Nobunaga. He chose Daenerys, part of this motivated by Viserion dying. He wants to make her feel better by serving as a new third dragon, and to put the wight Viserion to rest.
- While Hydreigon have a reputation for being vicious, they are not Always Chaotic Evil and can be just as friendly as any other Pokemon. Not that they don't look or act villainous. Ghetsis was hoping the Hydreigon in the pantheon was his, but this wasn't the case and he hates Ghetsis for giving the species a bad name, and treating Pokemon under his care poorly. Ghetsis' Hydreigon has a full-power Frustration, meaning even his one hates his boss for abuse and for being that much of a bastard. Ghetsis is THAT loathsome.
- It hasn't been explained how Ghetsis' Hydreigon is so underleveled, or why a creature with two minds ends up with one brain. Hydreigon has explained that usually Zwelious heads put their differences aside and undergo a Split-Personality Merge. However if one overcomes the other in a Split-Personality Takeover, they'll evolve quicker. This isn't advised, and is either a sign the Pokemon is really ill-tempered or their trainer forced them to do it. Guess which method Ghetsis used...
- Usually associates with the more sinister Pokemon like Darkrai, though Dark Is Not Evil more often with them. He likes Tyrantrum due to their confrontational personality with others, and Primeape for their aggressive nature. He seems to be fond of the Red Gyarados as well because like him, Hydreigon started out rather puny. He had to wait ages to reach his tremendous power, so can understand what it's like to endure being a Magikarp.
- Hydreigon was a very difficult Pokemon to deal with, but this all changed with the introduction of Fairy types. Fairy type moves are super-effective against Dark and Dragon type Pokemon, and Hydreigon's Dark/Dragon typing led to getting his ass kicked by pretty fairies. Ever since then, he has had a burning hatred towards all fairies no matter where they're from. And he'd like to remind fairies in the pantheon that his extremely versatile moveset includes the Steel-type move Flash Cannon.
- Based off the Orochi, and has similarities to King Ghidorah-he's ferocious, has three heads and destructive. Hydreigon thinks he pulls it off better and sees Ghidorah as a rival, Ghidorah doesn't care. Partly because while Hydreigon is merely vicious, Ghidorah is truly evil and Hydreigon doesn't like his sadism.
- Godzilla doesn't like Hydreigon because of the similarities he has with Hydreigon, and because the Brutal Pokemon got in a fight challenging him for the title of the King of the Monsters. It ended rather poorly for Hydreigon. Despite this he's good friends with Godzilla's "substitute" Tyranitar because they're Dark-type psuedo-legendaries with a habit of ferocity. The irony of a Godzilla and possible Ghidorah expy getting along is not lost on the originals.
- Because of how destructive he is, some of the more sinister gods are fond of him. Tiamat, being a multiple-headed dragon, is really fond of him and encourages he lives up to his title of "The Brutal Pokemon" while also giving him enough respect that it doesn't piss him off like Ghetsis tends to do. Hydreigon is happy to join in setting things on fire with Ragnaros the Firelord, partly because Ragnaros isn't evil so much as chaotic and has fire-based morality.
- He seems to get along with Jakiro and the Ruined Dragon. The latter out of being tough-looking dragons from the same company, the former because he can relate to his Multiple Head Case due to his time as Zwelious. He seems to like Hagrid since he knows how to treat and spoil ferocious magical creatures like himself. And N, who is kind-natured unlike his foster father and doesn't treat him like a monster.
- The tracks on Hydreigon's body are a remnant of his original design, where he would be a Cyborg with cannons on his back. He's current trying to get the House of Weapons to build back-cannons for him to use, but this hasn't met with success yet because the weight gets in the way of his flight and most of all people are hesitant on giving the Orochi Pokemon even more firepower. Hydreigon's hoping that if he even gets a Mega Evolution, it incorporates this original design.

Game Mechanics seems like a good choice.
Time to explore the world!I wonder how Kaiba would react to a blue three-headed dragon (considering that the BEWD is a Light one and all)
Note to self: Never bet on Entei.Pressed Add button too quick. Will wait later rather than becoming a page-bottomer.

DiNozzo needs to be Gibbs' specific Herald. (He did Dope Slap himself a few times, IIRC.)
Also, I was surprised to see that Agent Gibbs' profile in the Pantheon-At-Large was removed, considering he still had portfolio among the GUAG Support Staff.note
It looks like the Council of Shadows and the Court of the Gods aren't the only pages in this section that are deprecated.
We're going to have to have a full review of the Alliances and the subsidiaries to see what other gods are presently without Primary Portfolio, (e.g. Jack McCoy , the Divine District Attorney). Personally, I would like to have Alliance Allegiances incorporated into the primary database, but would be okay with a separate database for that. (If I have to create said database, then it will be slow going.)
But now onto other business: I updated Serena's profile in my Pantheon Sandbox, but I still have a few Outstanding Issues:
EDIT: Wow, Page Topper! Might as well show the profile:
Serena, daughter of Grace, Goddess of Satellite Love Interests, (Yanderena)
Although she eventually got a B-Plot for herself,note her development in that arc was subsumed into Ash's when he expected to win against Wulfric but was soundly defeated instead. She attempted to comfort him, citing her troubles during said Performance Arc, but he actively rebuffed her, causing her to lash out in response and flee. It was that action that caused Ash to realize what he was doing wrong and set about to fix things.note although Ash fell just short, if it wasn't for Serena, Ash might not have made the tournament at all.note
