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.

@ Muundeis: Though a bit of a Robotic Psychopath and while Ordis has displayed Yandere-like tendencies for their Operator (even it the relationship isn't romantic as it more out of Undying Loyalty) even he would agree that .GIFfany is obsessed with anyone she designates as her boyfriend. Though he may not look it, he is ready to fight her off with Frickin' Laser Beams on the chance she does enter the Cephalon Weave. He'll be damned if he's going to let someone mess with his tech.

@ nightelf: What else do you need for those introductory bullets for Raava and Vaatu? As for Void Termina, I'm no Kirby lore buff either but looking over Star Allies itself and maybe some digging on Dark Matter entities then watching What is Kirby Canon?. Judging by titles, #3 and #18 seem the most relevant.

@ Highwayman: Champ is child rapist and murderer.

@ Whitemane, Gael: [tup]

@ Tamie: Makoto Nijima would likely chastise her for getting that close to the Yakuza just for a story since she herself back then ran off to provoke some gangsters to get close enough to their boss in an attempt to prove her usefulness.

@ matteste: If it's within reason. If it goes up to a number like, say, the Doctor then it would be better to merge them. In Ren's case it's fine the way it is now.

Another potential spooky profile if people are okay with it. Please tell me if there's a better way of wording the title.

Nerscylla, God of Donning Hides from Skinned Animals (Nerscylla: Shadow Spider; Shrouded Nerscylla: Corpse Spider)

  • Reasoning: This species of Giant Spider cover for their elemental weakness by devouring and skinning monsters that resist it. Regular Nerscylla often use Gypceros hide to gain Thunder resistance while Shrouded Variants often use Khezu to gain ice resistance. Though the Nemean Lion is named after it, I don't think the skinned should be the one to represent it. That, and Hercules (who is a combination of many throughout works) is already ascended and I believe adding on tropes to titles is generally discouraged.

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

I propose the following addition from NJO:

  • Nom Anor, God of Agent Provocateurs
    • Potential House: Betrayal (Traitor Archetypes sub-house)
      • Reason: This man spends essentially all of New Jedi Order and some of Star Wars: Crimson Empire being an Agent Provocateur. Some of his achievements:
        • Plays the Imperial Remnant and a Renegade Splinter Faction against each other in order to weaken the Empire.
        • Deliberately sets off a war between core worlds Rhommamool and Osarian in order to distract the New Republic from the initial stages of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion. This is actually successful until the 2nd or 3rd book.
        • Arranges for the Praetorite Vong to acquire a yammosk in a bid to give them more political power.
        • Turns the Mandalorians against the New Republic shortly before the invasion begins.
        • Forms the Peace Brigade, an organization of Star Wars galaxy individuals seeking to appease the Yuuzhan Vong and sabotage the New Republic's war efforts.
        • Provides aid to Elan in her plot to assassinate Jedi, intending to reduce galactic confidence in the force users.
        • Brokers an alliance with the Hutts as Pedric Cuf, which remains in effect until the Battle of Fondor. The alliance is used to manipulate the New Republic into defending the wrong worlds (Bothawui in this case).
        • Is personally responsible for collapsing a city-dome on Duro to cause chaos and prepare the planet for invasion in Balance Point.
        • Facilitates Viqi Shesh's secret defection to the Yuuzhan Vong when she has doubts about the New Republic's chances at victory.
        • Softens up Yag'Dhul for invasion for when the ceasefire ends while impersonating a Givin.
        • Attempts to have would-be Head of State Cal Omas killed with two assassins on Mon Calamari in order to throw the New Republic into further chaos.
        • Encourages the Jeedai heresy and becomes a powerful prophet within it in order to oppose the Supreme Overlord.
      • Nom Anor is not trusted by the galaxy defenders due to his alignment with the Yuuzhan Vong. He isn't trusted by other Yuuzhan Vong due to his 10+ years blending in and learning about Star Wars culture - they also suspect that his opinion could have mellowed out concerning technology, which the Yuuzhan Vong despise.

@Muundeis: Actually Strange Journey Redux Lucifer is against humanity dying out. Only when mankind chooses it will he step aside and allow them to doom themselves, but even when they, a God, or demon bring about exterminating humaniy in a Social Darwinist paradise Lucifer will give birth to a child and send them back in time to change the Bad Future.

@ Nom Amor: [tup]. Any other Star Wars Legends ideas?

I_Jedi Since: Jul, 2013
#123056: Oct 21st 2018 at 4:55:37 PM

@RJ-19-CLOVIS-93 Darth Malgus would be another interesting one.

  • Darth Malgus, God of Politically Correct Villainy
    • Potential House: Villains (Villainous Archetypes sub-house)
      • Reason: Darth Malgus, unlike his comrades in the Sith, is fully opposed to the bigotry common in the Sith Empire, but is still a villain to the protagonists in SWTOR. Examples:
        • A band of Khaalesh are troubling the Empire's objectives on Ilum. Moff Regus suggests slaughter, but Darth Malgus suggests recruiting them instead, noting that the Khaalesh are formidable warriors.
        • Darth Malgus briefly works with the Republic - known to be tolerant of aliens - in order to defeat his rival, Darth Arho.
        • Darth Malgus recruits soldiers of various species to serve in his personal army and navy, including the Shadow Collective. The Shadow Collective is a group of Anomids responsible for Darth Malgus' technological edge against the two player factions.
        • Darth Malgus does not despise bigotry out of altruism, but because he believes tolerance will make the Empire stronger.
        • Darth Malgus becomes a villain to all the protagonists when he attempts to seize control of the Empire with the aid of his massive "New Empire" fleet. The protagonists are forced to go to his space station and kill him to defeat his bid for power.
      • In essence, Darth Malgus' political correctness is his main motivation for creating his New Empire and is a very important part of his character. Even before Ilum, Darth Malgus has approved when players have suggested recruiting aliens (such as the Advosze Hegemony during the Hammer Station debrief) over slaughter.

A [tup] for @Gael: I think that he'd be allies with The Plain Doll because of her similarities to the painter. He'd also be Not So Different or allies with The Chosen Undead and The Bearer of the Curse as they all started simple unequiped undead before becoming important enough to affect the fate of the world.

I feel like many deities recently are using several images when there's no need to. I think that's a bit annoying.

That or someone is going through the pages and adding images to profiles.

If you really need to present many depictions at once, I believe a collage should be preferable.

Here's my second draft of Seth and Evan. Are there any other teenage losers in the Pantheon?

Okay. So this may be the first instance of two profiles at the same time. REJOICE! Now for this round, I'm doing my two main prehistoric themed profiles; The Gang of Seven and Big Al. These are rough drafts of course and some things have been left blank but any tips and suggestions for both them would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

The Gang of Seven, Members  The Deified Stock Dinosaurs (Loving Littlefoot, Sweet but Strong-Willed Cera, Devoted Ducky, Panicky Petrie, Gentle Giant Spike, Eager Chomper, Responsible Ruby)

BTW, a bit late catching up to a few things before:

@Crownless I once had that trope reserved but i dropped the profile. I think when it comes to wearing the remains of someone it's actually a different trope but i can't recall it right now but nerscylla sounds like an interesting idea

@Jedi Not really sure about them but then again i don't know much about the source material

@Drope You mean like some historical figures having a thousand pictures?

I think some of the Land Before Time dinos are already in the Pantheon- Peitre, for instance, is in the House of Fear.

[up] I explained the plan earlier. The Gang of Seven get the Stock Dinosaurs trope, whilst the Sharptooth gets Scary Teeth and all the tropes currently occupied by the five resident Land Before Time characters will be freed up.

Alright. Maybe it could be similar to allowing a full group of Pretty Cures to ascend and freeing up the poistions they have. I know someone's got a profile for the Smile Cures prepared.....

[up] Well, N3xus does have a couple pretty cure profiles abandoned. You should ask him if he lets you borrow a few of those.

I generated an initial draft for Nom Anor's basic information to provide a taster for his character for those who don't know much about NJO. I intend to write up the events/trivia/fights to complete the draft next.

Like the rest of the Yuuzhan Vong, Nom Anor hates any kind of mechanical or electrical technology. The Yuuzhan Vong do approve of biotechnology, and they probably approve of paranormal/supernatural technology. Considering Nom Anor tried to convert Jacen Solo to the Yuuzhan Vong belief system instead of outright kill him, it is reasonable to think he approves of using the Force and paranormal/supernatural powers by extension.

The current draft is as follows:

____________

Nom Anor, God of Agent Provocateurs (Pedric Cuf, Dr. Cree'Ar, Udelen, Yu'shaa, Ammorn)

[up][up] RJ's thumb was for the idea, not for the profile. Those don't count.

Also you should add the bullet points.

Noticed that Sheep in Wolf's Clothing is still available. I may want to use that for Darius Crowley, one of the many infected with the Worgen curse in Gilneas who retained his humanity and morals to combat the Forsaken and aid the alliance in the war. He is notable among the Worgen that because of some inner turmoils, he cannot switch back to his human form but still is on the side of good.

Will the first Assassin Desmond lived through via the Animus finally return to the Pantheon once more? Will there finally be a third Mona? Can Nier's data be rescued from oblivion?

Find out next time on Trope Pantheons Discussion!
