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.

Truly a damn shame.

Done with the Crimson Stone.

The Crimson Stone

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/lament_of_innocence___crimson_stone___01.png
The Crimson Stone
  • Description: A gem/talisman created by Mathias Cronqvist
  • Alignment: Chaotic Evil
  • Domains: Relics, Alchemy, Vampirism
  • Portfolio: A Powerful Relic That Contains The Soul Of A Vampire, With Its Owner Becoming A Vampire In The Process
  • Created By/Current Owner: Dracula Vlad Ţepeş (formerly Mathias Cronqvist)
  • Sacred To: All Vampire Deities (current and former)
  • The prized posession of Dracula Vlad Ţepeş, the Crimson Stone is considered to be the most sacred relic of the vampires. Rather than have it placed within the Pantheon's Maximum Security wing, Count Dracula has decided to retain the Crimson Stone.
  • Before he became Dracula, he was once Mathias Cronqvist, master strategist and close friend to Leon Belmont. When his beloved wife, Elizabetha, died, Mathias hatched a scheme, one that would allow him to live forever just so he could give the Almighty the middle finger, as Cronqvist blamed God for his wife's death. To accomplish this, he manipulated vampire lord Walter Bernhard into kidnapping Leon's betrothed, Sara Trantoul. When Mathias completed the Crimson Stone, he had Death - who swore his allegiance to Mathias - to seal Walter's soul into the Crimson Stone, completing it.
  • The Crimson Stone provides its wielder immense power...at the cost of their humanity. The Stone turns whoever possesses it into a vampire, unlike the more traditional methods on record. As such, it is one of the vampires' most holy of relics.
  • Eventhough she is no longer a vampire on a permanent basis, Jubilee knows of the Crimson Stone's power from Xarus, the vampire who turned her. While her version of Dracula is different from the one who had been Xarus' father, she sought out Dracula in regards to the Stone's power. Jubilee is the only person (outside of Alucard) who can confirm that all what the Stone claims to be is true.
  • The Pantheon's deified thieves each considered stealing the Crimson Stone. One by one, they decided against trying to do so, lest they want every single Vampire chasing them down to get ths relic back. That and while the immense power is indeed tempting, the idea of becoming a vampire does put some of them off.

@Master Hero: Well, I do have a clear idea. It's just that I'm looking for feedback and I certainly won't get it by leaving it in hiatus.

Anybody got a better group picture for this party?

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/4_76.jpg
From left to right, top to bottom: Edge, Rydia, Dark Knight Cecil, Paladin Cecil, Rosa, Kain, Cid, Edward, Palom, Porom, Yang, Fusoya, Tellah

It's the only one I can find with all of them. I plan on putting the After Years appearances of at least the twins later on.

Sho Minazuki, God of Freakish Loners (The Rule-Smashing Pun Machine)

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/p4a_sho_render.png
  • Potential House: ???
  • [tup]s:
  • Lesser God
  • Symbol: His eyes and scar glowing cyan
  • Theme Song: The Joker
  • Alignment: Chaotic Neutral
  • Portfolio: Combat Pragmatist, Ax-Crazy, Blood Knight, Empowered Badass Normal, Covered with Scars, Katanas, Fiery Redhead, Exotic Eye Designs, Psychotic Smirk, Full of Puns And Swear Words, Put the "Laughter" in "Slaughter", Sore Loser, Shotoclone, The Villain Makes the Plot, Freudian Excuse, Woobie, Destroyer of Worlds, Plannned to Hijack Hi-No-Kagutsuchi Using Adachi's Magatsu Izanagi, Unwitting Pawn to Whom He Was Trying To Hijack, Split-Personality Merge And Thus Gaining A Persona
  • Domains: Solidarity, Puerility, Fighting
  • Allies: N
  • Rivals: Yu Narukami, Labrys, other BlazBlue deities (like Ragna)
  • Enemies: Nyarlathotep, Hajime Hinata, Yuno Gasai, Tohru Adachi, Ghetsis Harmonia, Sho Minamimoto
  • Barely neutral terms with: the Shadow Operatives (except Mitsuru Kirijo, whom he still opposes), the Investigation Team
  • Target of Interest By: Igor, The Grand United Alliance of Destruction
  • Ascended some time after the incident known as the P-1 Climax. Considering his original plan to leave himself as the sole inhabit of his world to be rid of everyone that annoyed him, many share animosity with Sho and keep their distance.
  • The only known way for him to be able to form bonds is through battle. Some have said he's not as hostile to those he's made these bonds and there is some degree of respect formed.
  • There was a second personality within Sho, which calling himself Minazuki. He was the more calculating and likely more dangerous of the two personalities, given that he had a Persona. However, Sho hasn't been able to call him up since inheriting Minazuki's Persona as his own.
    • When his bond with Minazuki is brought up, expect a katana to be brought up to someone's neck and Sho laughing at them that he's happy to be alone beside himself.
  • Dislikes the idea of allying with some of the gods who claim to share his interests. Sho is smart enough to realize that most will decide to dispose of him once he isn't needed, just like Hi-No-Kagutsuchi. Only Lucifer's offer has held any weight for him. He's long since abandoned his old ways that would've garnered the favor of the GUAD.
    • Likewise hates Nyarlathotep since he's a troll, manipulator and the face that Nyarlathotep is the embodiment of the worst of everyone he hates.
  • Bringing up that he's Not So Different from Labrys doesn't do well for his mood.
  • Likes mocking Hajime Hinata for where his desire to be special got him. Perhaps enjoys mocking Hajime a bit more than others because of how similar he sounds to Yu.
  • Was in possession of borrowed power which allowed him to mind-control others. It's since been lost, however.
    • Some have said that it hasn't made a difference given his joy of toying with his enemies rather than simply killing them. Sho has laughed this off.
  • Accusing him of not having the gall to kill will leave the accuser with a survival knife thrown at their feet. While it's meant to send one message, those who don't get or believe it are happily challenged to a fight to the death.
  • Not helped by the Morality Civil War, Sho's entrance into the Pantheon was met with much division. Of the opinions, the most notable are that some call him a Karma Houdini stating that his actions nearly caused his world to be destroyed and his unfortunate life is no excuse, while others state he hasn't crossed the line of taking a life and can be redeemed.
  • Unamused with his ascension in particular was Adachi, not wanting to put up with the schemes of a kid throwing a tantrum that might drag him into it. Sho isn't happy the reunion either and has threatened to kill Adachi if he screws with what he wants.
    • This in turn got him involved against Ryotaro Dojima when he attacked the ex-cop in his presence. As he got double-teamed by the two, it confused Sho as he's sure he would've remembered Yu's uncle being a Persona-user.
    • Upon hearing that the TV World is not only in the Pantheon, but other Persona-users have since been awakened because of it (and that Yu's cousin is also a Persona-user), he's been hoping to challenge them. However, he's disappointed when he heard that only those who came from the Persona worlds can summon them in the Pantheon proper. That said, since some of those "clients" are already fighters in their own right, he's looking to test them before seeing if he can lure them (at a later date, but not all at once) to someplace where they can summon their Personas so he can see what they're capable of.
  • Sho has been voted into a competition to make the worst pun. He was eager to beat Chuggaaconroy and Ted Wiesen, but became disgruntled that his competitors also included Teddie.
  • Hates Ghetsis for reminding him of his own piece of crap father. Likely because of empathy and a desire to fight whatever N can throw at Sho, N might be one of the few people that Sho gets along with.
  • While Sho hates his own dad, he admits that he also wanted revenge for him as he was all that he had.
  • Sho's meeting with Sho Minamimoto quickly ended with them on hostile terms. Sho Minazuki has said that "I'll Sho-w him that his number is comin' up!"
  • Sho isn't sure what to think of Goro Akechi. Like him, he's had a real bastard of a father. Unlike him, Akechi didn't have the privilege of having a lot of money left behind to his name like Sho did, and Shuji was long dead by the time Sho awoke from his coma while Akechi had the chance to take his vengeance on Shido. That said, the fact that the second coming of the Detective Prince (Sho think Naoto's the better one) worked with Shido with plans to pull the rug beneath him in the last moment reminds him too much of the fact that Adachi planned to do the same to him.
    • As for the Phantom Thieves of Hearts, -what should he mock them for?-
  • Batman understands what it's like to be considered a freak due to being a loner. He's attempted to fix that by surrounding himself with numerous allies both in and out of Gotham, though he doesn't think the same can work with Sho.

[up] Well, you could do some exploring around the Pantheon to get some ideas about what any possible allies and enemies for Nier. I think Sho could be friends with Harry Potter, who initially pushed his friends away in order to protect them from Tom Riddle/Voldemort until he learned he needed their help to succeed. Miguel and Tulio could be friends with Mario and Luigi, brothers who frequently go on adventures together.

Hey guys, working a speech Xemnas will give to Madoka, is this good enough?

Xemnas: You see, Goddess of Magical Girls, you are the driving cause of your own downfall. It is the not machinations of the Fallen Angel or the misguided actions of a friend, but your neglect. Have you once ever asked Homura Akemi how she felt? How many times did she rewound unwound time just to save you? How many allies she has sacrificed? How many tears of despair she shed for you? Have you ever once asked what lengths would she go for your safety? The answer is none, for you do not wish see how much suffering you laid down on your closest ally. You surround yourself with hope but you turn a blind eye to her anguish. You may call her your friend but in actuality, she was your stepping stone to becoming a paragon to others. Because how is love from one person compare to the adoration of countless others who will replace her?

Hello guys. Sorry for not coming here often, real life has been really bad lately. I wanted to give out an idea that might be of interest. I’m planning on giving Comet of Doom to The Sleeper, since it is an abomination that came from the Farmstead as a Comet and later made the place into a “dominion” of time and space, (by dominion, I mean a twisted palace of every continuity of its existence).

Also, may I ask where Gerhman, The Soul of Cinder and Abyss Watchers profiles are?

@nightelf: I'll be honest. Having a group of 10 to 15 characters in one profile sounds kinda cheap and overwhelming to read through. It's ok when it's a large organization with just a few standout members (like, say, HYDRA) or something around half that amount (the FXIII Protags), but a group consisting of a dozen distinct characters is just too far.

And this is not even taking in account the possible interactions between each member and other deities.

Is there any other group profile with this many people?

Centaur Man, God of Mechanical Horses (DWN.42)

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/42_-_centaur_man_9874.jpg
  • Lesser God
  • Symbol: His three-horned helmet
  • Theme Music: Centaur Man Stage
  • Alignment: Lawful Neutral
  • Portfolio: Mechanical Centaur, Centaur Flash, Centaur Arrow, Polearm, Shield, Spread Shot, The Gambler, Only Quadruped Robot Master
  • Domains: Robots, Horses, Combat, Space
  • Allies:
  • Enemies: Dr. Wily
  • Centaur Man was originally a robot designed to work as a museum guide on Greece. However, he was modified into combat to enter the First Annual Robot Tournament. However, the whole tournament was a trick by Doctor Wily to capture the world's greatest robot warriors and reprogram them to serve him. -
  • Since he was merely reprogrammed by Wily to serve him, he doesn't actually work for him in the Pantheon. Doesn't stop Wily from trying to him back to his side.
  • The reason why he was given this title is because while he is technically a centaur, he is one of few holders of the trope with actual sentience.
  • Centaur Man's main weapon is Centaur Flash, a special distortion system what allows him to stop time. However, the system takes up a lot of energy to use, meaning that he can only use it for brief moments at a time. That doesn't mean he is a one-trick pony, however. In fact, he might be one of most well-armed Robot Masters. He can teleport brief distances while using Centaur Flash, his arm cannon has a Spread Shot projectile and energy arrows, and is also equipped with a shield and a polearm.
  • There are rumours that he is actually a woman and has a crush on Knight Man. Nothing solid has come out of this.

Please tell me if I should stop posting this; I just really want someone to respond to this.

What I want to talk about here is relevant to the pantheon, but none of the discussion threads I know of would be a good place for discussing this, so I just went with one that I'm pretty sure is the most often-used.

Okay, so a long time ago, I talked about making a fighting game with the combat-capable deities in the pantheon. It would control like One Piece: Grand Battle Rush, but would visually look like a cross between Sonic Battle and the Project X Zone games.

Anyone interested in hearing what the controls of the game would be?

Any [tup]s for Fairy Leviathan?

Fairy Leviathan, Goddess of Respect Developed Through Being Bested (Guardian of the Dark Oceans, Model L, Siren General Leviathan)

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/leviathan_4.png
  • Theme: Cool Water
  • [tup]s:1
  • Intermediate Goddess
  • Symbol: Her halberd, or Biometal L
  • Alignment: Neutral Good, formerly Lawful Neutral
  • Portfolio: Defeat Means Respect, The Nicknamer, Blood Knight, Dark Action Girl, Combat Stilettos, The Smurfette Principle, Villainous Crush on Zero For His Determination, Mostly Fights Underwater, True Blue Femininity, Water and Ice Powers, Has an Ice Halberd, Manta-Ray Submarine Armed Phenomenon, Refuses to be Pitied Because She's a Woman
  • Domains: Respect, Water, Ice, Oceans, Ice Shelves, Halberds
  • High Priestess: Trauare Wrede
  • Heralds
  • Superior: X (robotic "father"/master)
  • Allies:
  • Friendly Rival: Zero
  • Rivals: Leviathan the Tidehunter, Nu-13
  • Enemies: Copy X (former leader), Dr. Weil, Omega, Elpizo, Sigma, Lumine, Wo-Class, Merged Zamasu, Airy, Lord Ouroboros
  • Opposes: Dr. Wily, Repliforce (especially Iris)
  • Is extremely uncomfortable around Alexstrasza, Johnny Blaze/Ghost Rider, Shana, Zuko, Roy Mustang, and Hanzo Hasashi/Scorpion (despite being Not So Different) for obvious reasons.
  • The last of Neo Arcadia's Four Guardians to ascend to the Pantheon, Leviathan has been staying in her brother Harpuia's temple as a herald for some time while his petition for her entry was mysteriously backlogged. Fittingly, her trope of ascension is a hallmark seen in all four of the Guardians through their original battles with Zero; respect for brave warriors who best them in battle. What makes her case even more special is the warrior's crush she's harbored towards the crimson android as well for his relentless determination.
  • In life she commanded Neo Arcadia's Meikai Army, otherwise known as the Deep Sea Squadron or the Dark Ocean Corps. Members of this squadron can be seen as heralds in her temple, at least the ones she approves of; a boy who used her stolen biometal in the future as part of the Game of Destiny found his way into her temple through some immortal Reploid data, and they don't like him very much.
    • On a related note, both being quite territorial underwater fighters, she and Wo-Class do not get along in the least.
  • While she was his herald, Harpuia kept her up to speed on the developments surrounding his alliance with Epsilon and the formation of their new robot group. She liked the idea because it meant they'd be part of something that would help Zero, and Harpuia had made sure they weren't being manipulated like before with Weil and Copy X. 9S, a recent addition to that group, hacked into the Court of the Gods' case files to push Leviathan's petition forward, allowing her to finally take her place alongside both the Four Guardians and Liberion Arcadia.
    • Despite this, she finds it odd working alongside Ciel now, given the doctor's connection with Zero in addition to being the leader of the Resistance she used to fight against.
  • Has a fondness for nicknames, calling Harpuia and Fefnir "the pretty boy" and "the combat nerd" respectively. She also calls 9S "the hacker kid" (despite also being a hacker herself, which the two have somewhat bonded over) and 2B "the katana girl".
  • Between Operation Righteous Strike and destroying X's body to release the Dark Elf, she and the other Guardians don't need any tainted orders to consider Elpizo a Maverick, even if he's trying to atone for his deeds now.
  • A sea monster called Leviathan the Tidehunter was ascended before she was, as she learned when Harpuia did his research instead of rushing to greet the being thinking it was her. When the Fairy finally met the Tidehunter, things were not pretty. He immediately tried to attack her with his Gush, amplified into a tidal wave by Aghanim's Scepter. Instead of it slowing her down, though, she used his wave to temporarily submerge the two in water, swimming quickly to spear him with her ice halberd. Then he summoned the tentacles of his god to ravage her from below, and she summoned ice dragons to help her narrowly escape. They've been on bad terms ever since.
  • The RKS ladies Tia and Freudia thought she looked like a friend of theirs when they first saw her. She got "hacker boy" to do some research and discovered Trauare to be similar to her in a lot of ways, including the Defeat Means Respect trope, and even carrying an ice halberd named after her. As such, Trau became her High Priestess, and she's allowed Tia and Freudia to visit Trau at her temple. She also connects somewhat with Freudia, as they share mastery of ice powers and distant personalities — though Leviathan does tend to smile a lot more often.
  • Harpuia, Lambda, and 2B have also told her about Nu-13. The Siren General finds the Calamity Trigger interesting for both her abilities and her unfettered feelings for Ragna the Bloodedge. Even so, neither's object of affection, nor Leviathan's master, would ever want the end of everything. That's a goal she can't let Nu fulfill.
    • As for Ragna himself, she sees some obvious similarities with Zero in the rebellious Grim Reaper, but his deliberate edginess seems a bit of a joke. Despite this, she still spars with him on occasion to help sharpen each other's skills (hers on land, his in general) after encountering him once alongside Grey.
  • Though part of her is grateful to Dr. Wily for creating Zero, don't expect her to give him any credit out loud. She's well aware that his intentions for Zero were far from noble, and his experiments were responsible for the original Maverick Virus. She's much better about Dr. Light, the original creator of all the advanced androids, as well as Rock and Blues, who she considers the predecessors of X and Zero, as despite being created by Wily instead of Light, Zero shares connections to both scientists much like Proto Man does.
  • Heavily dislikes Zamasu and Airy. Their goals are to eradicate humanity, the former in the name of "justice" while he himself is partially immortal, and the latter disguised under cuteness in the service of a master called Ouroboros. These things remind her too much of both the boy in her temple who used her Biometal seeking the same goal in the ZX era and the master who stole her and gave her to Thetis in the first place.
    • On that note, she's grateful to Vent, Aile, Grey, and the yet-to-ascend Ashe for stopping the ones who wanted to use her and her brothers' powers for evil.
  • Hates Iris for breaking Zero's heart by going Maverick, and as such cannot support Repliforce. Anytime Epsilon meets with them in her presence, she will make a fuss about it. She also refuses to hear about how Repliforce were manipulated and Iris only attacked Zero out of distress for Colonel.
  • She's confirmed that yes, she and her brothers used to wear◊ longcoat vests when they worked with the original X.
  • In addition to her rebirth as Biometal Model L, the ZX era also contains at least one doll◊ of her.

@Fairy Leviathan: Is she joining Liberion Arcadia, too? If she is, can you find spots for her, ICEY, and the Cave Story duo?

Looks like I'll decide through voting.

Who are in favor of a FF4 group profile?

And who are against it?

If the votes are for against, I'll proceed with individual reworks for Cecil, Kain, Rydia, Edward, and Rosa anyway. And maybe Golbez, too.

[up][up] Again, lumping so many characters together is not fair for the more developed ones so i guess it's better to rework the individual profiles.

Maybe we should establish a character limit? Of course, if the personality of the members is non-existent, then add as many as you want.

Mind that this doesn't include Factions or Organizations.
