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.

- 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.

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.

I'll be off to Japan for a week, so I'm not sure if I'll be able to post here or consider feedback here as often. If anyone wishes to, they can post my profiles for me while I'm not around. Just don't make too drastic changes.
In the meantime, I'll leave these two here.
Fin would oppose Billy the Kid due to events in the last film. But he's not here yet, so...
Finley Allen Shepard, Patron Saint of Hilariously Bad Films (Fin)
- Potential House: Theatric Production
- s:
- Lesser God
- Symbol: Himself with a chainsaw coming out of a shark's body
- Catchphrase: "semper paratus" ("always be prepared")
- Theme Song: The Ballad of Sharknado
- Alignment: Chaotic Good
- Portfolio: Crazy-Prepared, Chainsaw Good, Rule of Cool, Going Out of His Way To Help Common Folk, Improbable Aiming Skills, Made of Iron, Memetic Badass, Narm Charm, Papa Wolf, Punny Name, Weirdness Magnet
- Domain(s): Surfing, Chainsaws, Sharks
- Heralds: April Wexler (his wife), Gil Shepard (his son), Claudia Shepard (his daughter), Nova Clarke, Skye, Bryan
- Followers: The Sharknado Sisterhood, too many other (good) B-, C-, or D-List movie protagonists to count.
- Allies: Arhur Curry/Aquaman, Ecco the Dolphin, Chris Redfield and Jill Valentine, Ashley J. Williams
- Enemies: Bruce and almost all sharks, The Kraken, Leviathan, Lurerre the Abysroid, Gigabolt Man-O-War, all evil wind-based deities that can create tornadoes, Albert Wesker
- Opposed by: The Dahaka
- During the last Timenado in the climax of the last film, after it was destroyed, two things actually happened. One was the new timeline where sharknadoes never happened, the canon ending. The other is that Fin from the old timeline was transported into the Pantheon and crashed from the sky into the House of Theater.
- After the House residents got him back to his feet and explained his situation, he was then taken to the Court of the Gods as they reviewed his case. They shortly found a spot for him, seeing his adventures terrible yet irresistible to watch, despite how horrific it should be.
- That said, there is a bit of contention for this title, as the last two films in his series turned legitimately terrible. But at least his story is now over.
- His temple takes the form of his old bar (aptly named Fin), and run by members of his family ("extracted" from the old timeline) and his friend Nova, who serve as his heralds.
- Ed Wood, Tommy Wiseau, and Rod also happen to be from So Bad, It's Good works just like Fin and they've decided to form a group.
- The first week after getting his temple set up, a sharknado appeared in the House of Theater after something the Teekyuu Club got involved in. Thankfully for him, everybody but a few idiots were running, as opposed to everybody staying around until some of them get eaten by sharks. As for those who could fight, such as Mario, White Mage, Duke Nukem, Conker, the Samurai Pizza Cats, and more, they were already on the case by the time Fin was on the scene. And barely any of them were suffering any serious casualties as he joined in and instructed his co-deities on how to stop the sharknado. It also sort of helps that these sharks have no self-preservation instincts. As it turns out, one of the Mad Scientists in the House of Science was the culprit and thought sharks in a tornado was an interesting experiment to do.
- Other sharknadoes soon followed once a week caused by either mad scientists or insane wizards. And they're often wherever Fin is. But that's just par for the course in the Pantheon.
- If there is one thing worse than a sharknado (standard one, as there are sandnadoes, bouldernadoes, oilnadoes, firenadoes, lavanadoes, hailnadoes, lightningnadoes, cownadoes, and nukenadoes), it's one with T-Virus infected sharks. He became acquainted with Chris and Jill when they helped out in quelling this latest 'nado.
- It also turns out the two's (and Leon's) heralds, the Outbreak Eight, also dealt with T-virus sharks.
- He's also not on good terms with Ryu Hayabusa after his involvement in one sharknado. He tried to air-joust one and was chomped on by a Great White. It did die, of course, but the ninja wasn't doing well after that.
- If there's anything worse than a T-Virus infected sharknado, it's a deadite sharknado, and one popped up the week after the last one in the House of Weapons. In there, amidst the blades, bludgeons, bullets, blasters, and bombs, Fin met Ash Williams, who came in chainsaw running, boomstick blazing and snarks aplenty. Seeing the two snark it up while blowing and hacking deadite sharks is quite a sight and the two became good friends after that.
- Fin is also an accomplished surfer, which he hasn't had much time for ever since sharknadoes entered his life. Thankfully, there are those who can enforce the safety of the oceans, particularly folks like Aquaman, and Fin appreciates his help in controlling the beasts, so he's been able to get around doing that again.
- He also knows how to land a commercial plane after getting a Crash Course Landing when a sharknado killed the pilots (and a few passengers and the flight attendant).
- Since it was a shark god who was responsible for all the sharknadoes in his world, Fin's always ready to tangle against Bruce (or any other aquatic creature that would like him dead) whenever he's in the water. The shark for his part is reconsidering the "his kin flying inside a tornado" plan.
- Among the many things Fin has survived include getting electrocuted (even if grounded), thrown into the sharknado by an explosion, and Air Jousting with the sharks before riding another down until it was impaled on the lightning rod of the building he was blown off of, and so much more.
- Also in Fin's temple, one can buy a book titled How to Survive A Sharknado* , written by his wife April.
- He remembered seeing Wil Wheaton as an airplane passenger whose head was bitten off by a shark. Wil for his part is not saying anything.
- Is wary of Matt Hardy; his infamous "The Final Deletion" has been compared as the Sharknado of wrestling films. The idea of BROKEN Matt summoning a Sharknado would be both hilarious and terrifying.
- His last adventure had time travel involved and he has been in the pre-K2 extinction event, the Middle Ages in King Arthur's time, at Washington's time while he was repelling the British, the Wild West period during Billy the Kid's time, the early 20th century where he met his parents, and even the far future populated by Terminator versions of his wife. He's met Merlin, George Washington, and Benjamin Franklin during these travels. Due to the Cosmic Retcon however, only the first "remembers" this.
- Because of this time travel to Ret-Gone sharknadoes from his world, not to mention the Time Crash in the climax that could've easily destroyed the universe, Fin is on the Dahaka's shit list.
Sho Minazuki, God of Freakish Loners (The Rule-Smashing Pun Machine)
- Potential House: Personalities
- 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: Solitude, Puerility, Fighting
- Allies: N, Solo
- 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
- Additional Character Relationships: Members of the Pantheon that have various relationships (examples include Enemy Mine, Vitriolic Best Buds, Teeth-Clenched Teamwork, Headbutting Heroes, Friendly Enemy, Friendly Rival, Just Friends, etc.) other than allies, rivals, or enemies.
- Respected by/Respects:
- Pitied by/Pities:
- Opposed by/Opposes:
- Conflicting Opinion: Goro Akechi
- 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 called 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 also 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 little 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.
- Is interested with the fact that Harry Potter once initally pushed his friends away in order to protect them from Tom Riddle/Voldemort until he learned he needed their help to succeed.
- Eventually met Solo, who holds a similar philosophy as Sho and they 'bonded' after a duel. That said, Solo doesn't know what to say about Sho since despite what he spouts, he does have a bond, even though it was with his Minazuki self, which has since vanished and became his Persona Tsukuyomi.

TV Tropes Pantheon Group Members DatabaseI think Sho is good to go . Provided you remove the empty bullet points.
Uni catfor Fin.
Just an fyi, someone plothole Wasteland to be from Fallout. It isn't. Its the former section of the Disgraced.
Eh, it makes more sense to be the one from Fallout.
Uni catWhy not both?
Jawbreakers on sale for 99¢Given how we agreed that the Disgraced has never existed in the first place, it being the Fallout one makes more sense.
Hm, are there any good tropes that Ciel Phantomhive represents that aren't taken?
Aside from failing to use the Database, I don't watch or read Black Butler, so I'm not entirely sure what to suggest.
Edited by PokesonicLegend on Nov 18th 2018 at 2:14:42 AM
You tell us. We have a database for tropes that are taken.
As I promised, I pretty much remade the profile.
Jhin, God of Unlucky Four Symbolism (The Virtuoso, Khada Jhin, Artisan Killer, the Golden Demon)
- Demigod
- Symbol: A lotus
- Theme Song: Jhin Theme, Mind of the Virtuoso, Curtain Calls
- Alignment: Neutral Evil
- Portfolio: Mad Artist, Serial Killer wearing a white mask, AD Caster, Sanctioned by the Ionian Court, Lean and Mean, Cold Sniper, Fashionable Asymmetry, obsessed with four and death, Evil Ionian,
- Domains: Death, Murder, Art, Four
- 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: Members of the Pantheon that are allies.
- Rivals: Sona
- Enemies: Zed
- A psychotic serial murderer from the island nation of Ionia who believes his murder to be art. He was imprisoned after he was captured by the Kinkou Order until a cabal within the Ionian court released him when Noxus invaded Ionia. With his guns as his brush and the entire world as his canvas, he is prepared to make a terrifying piece.
- He despises Kusho, the master of the Kinkou Order, for his arrest and wants to murder him himself. However, when he found that Zed already got ahead of him and denied his revenge, he wants Zed to be his next and greatest piece. Of course, this wasn't the first time they met, Zed wanted him to die but was denied by his master and Shen, which influenced his resentment and abandonment of the Kinkou Order entirely.
- In carnage, I bloom, like a flower in the dawn.

The One Who Crosses The Sky In FlamesSeems like a good idea.
Check out my fanfiction account here!Ryou Bakura and the Spirit of the Ring, Dual Deities of Impostor Split Personalities (The Spirit: Bakura, The Other Bakura, Dark Bakura, Yami Bakura, Thief King Bakura, Zorc Necrophades)
- Rank: Quasideity/Demigod and Lesser God, respectively; Lesser to Intermediate together.
- Symbol: The Millennium Ring.
- Alignment: Neutral Good and Chaotic Evil, respectively.
- Portfolio:
- Both: Long-Haired Bishōnen, Nightmare Fetishists, makers of GM-biased Shadow RPGs (later a Cosmic Shadow RPG), impossibility to really tell who's in control, Dark and Troubled Pasts
- Ryou Bakura: Helpless Good Side (but stronger than he seems), The Smart Guy (manga), Demoted to Extra/Out of Focus (anime), being Claimed by the Supernatural, almost-constantly Distressed Dude, Born Unlucky
- The Spirit of the Ring: Superpowered Evil Side, instigator of Shadow Games, Overarching Villain with a Hidden Agenda, Ax-Crazy Sociopath, Lone Survivor of the Kul Elna massacre, being a merge of Zorc's and the Thief King's souls (possibly)
- Allies:
- Ryou Bakura:All ascended heroic Yu-Gi-Oh! deities, especially Both Yugis, Katsuya Jonouchi and ,Anzu Mazaki , Hisako, Gengar, Frankenstein's Monster, Ash Ketchum
- The Spirit (only out of convenience): Samara and Sadako, Spinal, Ren Hakuryuu
- Enemies:
- Both: Each other.
- The Spirit: All ascended heroic Yu-Gi-Oh! deities, especially Both Yugis, Katsuya Jonouchi,Anzu Mazaki, and Jack Atlas
- It Was a Dark and Stormy Night in the House of Gaming. A shadowy figure slipped past the Guards, who noticed the presence a second too late before it disappeared completely. Suddenly, laughter spread across the halls, while an aura of bad omen crept into the House. Members of the House stood in alert, some preparing to attack the stranger at the slightest movement... until they heard a voice asking where the bathroom was, with a clearly clueless teenage boy (the source of the voice) wandering into the room. And that's how Ryou Bakura ascended.
- Despite his friends' worries, Bakura has been rather cheerful since day one. He was happy to meet the Other Yugi again (he couldn't help but ask him what the afterlife is like), and was excited about entering the Pantheon. His complete lack of reaction to the fact that he was wearing the Millennium Ring again made several wonder if it wasn't actually a copy he made as a weird memento... or if he was under control again. Then, one night, he was seen using the Ring as it were a radar... The Spirit was found out, and has made no secret of his presence ever since.
- The Spirit said he held no ill will towards Yugi and his friends, saying he was defeated fairly and that, now that Zorc was defeated, he could live (sort of) as his original identity, the Thief King Bakura. However, Yugi and his friends don't trust him, and with good reason; not only is he still part Zorc, but he wants nothing more than to kill the Pharaoh and his friends and gather the Millennium Items again to bring the Demon God Zorc to the Pantheon.
- Yugi and Yami Yugi were horrified to know that Bakura had somehow gotten hold of the Millennium Ring (with a not-at-all-nice Spirit along with it), considering it got destroyed along wit the other Millennium Items at the end of their series. They have tried to keep him under constant vigilance, but Bakura has the strange ability to randomly disappear and reappear at the weirdest moments (which is especially unfortunate, as the Spirit had the strange habit of leaving inexplicable, non-lethal wounds in his host's body for others to find).
- Most of the time, (normal) Bakura can be found in the House of Gaming, building scenarios for his tabletop RPGs], or in the House of Craft, searching for materials.
- He can sometimes be found in the House of Food, finding stuff to eat or learning new recipes. It's the only place where one can be 100% sure on whether Bakura is in complete control or not; the Spirit's table manners are atrocious.
- Bakura can also be found in the House of Otherness, particularly the House of Ghosts and the House of Undead. He's rather intrigued by the monsters' appearances.
- King Boo tried to scare him. It didn't work, so King Boo is trying to sharpen his haunting skills. Gengar tried to scare him, too. It didn't work, either, but they became friends after Bakura found his tricks hilarious. He also developed a friendship of sorts with Hisako. He sympathizes with her plight (and appreciates the fact that she doesn't take it out on innocents), though she's wary of the Spirit's presence. He also sympathizes with the Frankenstein's Monster.
- On the downside, The Spirit has taken advantage of these visits to forge an alliance with revenge-thirsty ghosts Sadako and Samara, as well as undead deities such as Spinal. His plans seem to be to gather an army, but he's not much of a leader, and he's not telling (of course).
- Some have tried to ask the Spirit who or what he is, which still isn't very clear. Unfortunately, his answers alternate between "I'M A THIEF!", "I AM ZORC!", or simply laughing menacingly at the poor bastard who dared to approach him. He seems to enjoy the confusion.
- Considering the fact they sound alike and were both possessed by an malevolent ancient being, Ryou became friends with Ash Ketchum.
What do we do with profiles that haven't been updated by original creator in over a year?
@Mvs Considering how he sounds, Raiden would be wary of him considering him that his psychotic personality would remind him of his jack the Ripper persona, even if the latter is more violent instead of being a Mad Artist.
Uni catFallout Wasteland@Then it would have become a Dominion.
@ Jhin: I'd imagine most of the House of Craft wouldn't appreciate his arts.
@ Fin: During one encounter with a sharknado in the Pantheon he encountered a large, land-dwelling, amphibious shark in the form of Zamtrios. Inevitably a zamnado — a shark nado with Zamtrios and the younger Zamites — reared its ugly head to the Pantheon some time after the encounter. If their Ice Blight wasn't bad enough Zamtrios also have their ice armor and inflating bodies. Though during that 'nado Fin worked alongside with the Monster Hunters who were happy to help him deal with yet another sharknado... at least until they had to get the carves.

All my fault, you say...? What fault? I daresay it's all thanks to me.Not much of an update, just fishing for more ideas for deiteis that are from hard games
Diogenes, God of Checkpoint Starvation (The Man in the Cauldron, The Man in The Pot, Baldy, Mr. Clean, Muscles)
- House: Challenge
- Lesser God
- Symbol: His cauldron and sledgehammer
- Themesong: A soft piano jazz
- Alignment: True Neutral
- Portfolio: Having big muscles that actually mean something, Scaling the Summit with zero checkpoints whatsoever, Climbing using a sledgehammer, Commuicating only in grunts, Having the Heroic Willpower to climb an impssible mountain, Being a Determinator, Being manipulated by terrible controls, Painfully continuing with his climb.
- Domains: Game Mechanics, Mountains, Rage.
- Allies: Madeline, The Kid, Chrom
- Enemies: The Narrator
- Everyone has undergone a journey at some point, either to discover themselves or just for the sake of adventuring and that brings us to the story of these unusual person. The Man in the Cauldron, real name Diogenes, is someone who by some unexplained reason got himself stuck in a cauldron and found himself in a remote area in the middle nowhere, with the only goal to reach the top of the mountain, with only a sledgehammer, his strenght and edurance and his sheer determination. Those who have witnessed his adventure had said to have suffered from rage outbursts, immense sadness and a desire to break everything but those who got to the end said that they felt accomplished. There wasn't a safe stop for our hero but he overcame all obstacles and for that he was awarded the title of Checkpoint Starvation.
- During his ascension, Diogenes emerged from his cauldron. Except that instead of having a regular ascension like many other deities had in the past, someone in the Court of Gods had the bright idea to place him in the bottom of a mountain to see if he was willing to climb it just to become a deity. The journey was harsh and unforgiving but he triumphed and in the end he was received by a thunderous applause to all the witnessing deities that saw the shirtless men ascend to godhood. When questioned afterwards, the man simply decided to wander off to some quiet place, saying nothing about what has transpired.
So I noticed that The Performer King hasn't been taken yet. Might I recommend Mance Rayder to it? He's skilled enough to unite the Free Folk together to march on the Wall as well as being a very talented musician too. In fact, his first appearance in the series is as a bard at Winterfell, playing at the feast for Robert Baratheon's arrival. And he isn't called the King Beyond The Wall for nothing.

Captain Raymond Holt, God of Twofer Token Minorities
- Rank: Demigod
- Symbol: His Medal of Valor
- Alignment: Lawful Good
- Portfolio: The Ace, Loves Analyzation, By-the-Book Cop, The Captain, Became a Bit More Fun In His Later Years, Cold Ham, The Comically Serious, Cultured Badass Gay, Perpetual Frowner, No Social Skills, Reasonable Authority Figure, Straight Gay (Mostly), Takes Competition Seriously, The Stoic, Team Dad, Will Not Tell a Lie

- High Priest: Nathan Seymore
- Followers: Susannah Dean, Dr. Hugh Culber, Cindy Park, Elisa Maza, Hooper X

- Enemies: All evil Deities in the House of Crime, Bambi Hughes
- Pities: Anthony Chu
- Opposes: Rosco P. Coltrane
- Teeth-Clenched Teamwork: Gene Hunt, John Constantine
- Odd Friendship: Team RWBY
- Jake Peralta and Amy Santiago enjoyed working in the Pantheon, but something was always wrong. Police duties weren't the same without their boss, Captain Holt, so they tried convincing him to come with them. He wasn't impressed with Jake's description of it being "a place filled with various characters from pop culture", mostly because only 1% of the gods were from historical classics. However, he relented and is now giving them orders in the House of Justice.
- He ended up getting Twofer Token Minority as his trope, since throughout his time at the NYPD, it was regularly noted that he was black and gay and was promoted up the ranks partially because of his race and sexuality. Holt was conflicted about this, as he wanted to ascend because of all of the hard work he had done and not because he's a minority. However, as someone who had to face discrimination early in his career, he's happy that most of the Pantheon is fine with his lifestyle.
- Just from seeing his personality, many were surprised that he's actually gay. With that said, Holt isn't entirely free of features from Camp Gay stereotypes, it's just hard to tell from his reserved nature. He's fussy, neat, and cultured, and is an amazing ballroom dancer. Plus, he especially loves classical music. In fact, he nearly lost his breath when saw Mozart and Beethoven in the same house.
- Holt's the founding member of an organization for African American gay and lesbian police officers, so he's very disappointed that there aren't any cops (or anyone) who's Black and LGBT in the Pantheon. He does hope that he can get more alike people to ascend.
- He tried to find other law-enforcing minorities with varying degrees of success. Despite his questionable methods, John Luther is good co-workers with him. On the other hand, Holt really finds it hard to tolerate John Constantine due to his smartass attitude, though he does admit his abilities are very useful for stopping fantastical criminals.
- He was wary of Cole Phelps for being a white guy from the late 1940's, a not-so-progressive time in history. Surprisingly, not only was Cole fine with him, they found a common interest in classic literature. The two have worked on various cases ever since.
- Holt works a lot with Renée Montoya, not just that she's a fellow twofer token, but because she also faced discrimination for being homosexual. (In Renée's case, from her parents) Holt has noted that she reminds him of a (somehow) tougher version of Rosa Diaz. Granted, Rosa's bisexual, not a lesbian, but she's close enough for him.
- As someone who loves analysation, he can definitely appreciate a guy like Patrick Jane, who uses it to solve crimes. Unfortunately, this slightly ruined his partnership with Jake, who's pretty much best buds with Mr. Jane's rival, Shawn Spencer. For what it's worth, their interactions have gotten more hilarious.
- Just because he's gay, doesn't mean that he gets along with every LGBT deity. One example of this is Buck Hughes; Holt is quite disgusted with his actions, and has successfully arrested him once when Buck tried to "have fun" with him.
- For obvious reasons, he doesn't care for Gene Hunt's bigotry. Every time they meet, it's often filled with insults (with Gene using a specific word). Being tired of this conflict, the House of Justice forced them both to solve a case in hope that they'll warm up with each other. It kind of worked, but don't expect them to team up again.
- He prefers his food bland and sees it as fuel more then anything else, so he mostly avoids the House of Food unless he's hungry. Upon getting his "Flavorless Nutrition Brick", he saw Anthony Chu eating a victim's finger.
Holt: "Why are you eating that finger?"
Tony: "It's for a case. Basically, every time I eat something, I get psychic visions of memories for what I ate. That finger I had from the poor guy? I just saw him head off to work."
Holt: "And this is part of your job?"
Tony: "Essentially my entire job."
Holt: "..."
Holt: "Wow, that is disgusting! I hope you have a nice day." - Considering that they're both laughably bland and stoic, some deities have compared him to Maud Pie. He'd like it if they'd stop telling him that, not because he insulted by it, in fact, he sees it as a compliment as he finds her very interesting since she's a talking pony, forgetting that the Pantheon is a World of Weirdness.
- Holt had to deal with an corrupt sheriff when he was in Florida, so he naturally hates Rosco P. Coltrane. Though, even Rosco wouldn't go as far as to be homophobic like that cop was.
- He may not seem like it, but Holt is really good at taking care of dogs as seen with his pet Corgi, Cheddar. One day, he was taking his dog for a walk, when Cheddar ran near Team RWBY to meet, Zwei. While Holt was hesitant at first, due to how tough Zwei is, he relented and both him and the team have set up meetings so the two Welsh Corgis can play with each other.
@faso, I was thinking of appending the Godlike Gamer to him, while keeping the Dating Sim title as well. Ain't no other character better known for both titles than Keima.
I dunno what you think, but that's how I see it for now. Unless you have better ideas...
Sed regresso retributio. Carpe Diem. Deus lo Vult...Finally done with Ansem and Xemnas, was busy with the Galeem stuff

- Allies: Xehanort and his incarnations, Vanitas, Luxord, YHVH, Yaldabaoth, Thanos, Sheev Palpatine, Sephiroth, Mateus Palamecia, Ultimencia, The Anti-Spiral, Harbinger, Nobuyuki Sugou, CLU, Agent Smith, Johan Liebert, Enrico Pucci

- Additional Relationship: Aqua
- Respects: The Divine Powers, Lord Fuse
- Annoyed by: Maleficent, Pete
- Opposed by: Terra, Ventus
- Opposes: Filthy Frank
- After witnessing every incident that has happened since his ascension, Xehanort figured it was a good time to summon his incarnations considering the conclusion to his plan is on the horizon. He had his younger self go through time once more and bring his Heartless and Nobody into the Pantheon.
- They attempted to keep their ascension quiet but word broke out and the entire GUAG went on high alert, sending a teams led by Sora and Riku respectively. Sora confronted Xemnas while Riku went to see Ansem. During this, Xemnas gave a speech about the Pantheon and and its conflicts before finally clashing blades with the Keybearer. Their battle was fierce and destructive, Xemnas hurling buildings towards Sora at every opportunity. The fight ended with a stalemate with Xehanort calling for Ansem and Xemnas’ return which he obliged. Sora isn’t done with the Nobody just yet and knows their next battle will end with someone coming out on top.
- There are reasons why Xemnas was awarded his title. His battle against Sora remains as one of the largest in terms of scale, beginning with a Duel to the Death then a building-throwing dragon, then finally ending in a battle within a Pocket Dimension. While not the most difficult of battles, the sheer scope of the fight was mesmerizing, eclipsing Ansem’s fight in terms of epicness.
- Xemnas is despised by many good-aligned Pantheon members for a good reason, even more than his Heartless counterpart. Not only did he attempt to use Kingdom Hearts as a means to reshape the universe instead of using it Organization XIII’s original goal obtain hearts, he lied to the rest of the Organization that they never had hearts which they had the entire time and intended for them to become Xehanort vessels in the end. Roxas, Xion, and Axel will never forgive him for his deception and will do everything they can to bring him down. But Luxord is still loyal, being busy in Port Royal at the moment.
- As a man who displays next to no emotions and manipulated his underlings to display none as well, Xemnas is a firm believer of The Evils of Free Will. The GUAL has sent various angels, offering him positions in their alliance. Xemnas denied the offer, being loyal to Xehanort’s vision at the moment but he is willing to support the GUAL once the next Keyblade War occurs.
- He also is holds quite a lot of disdain for those who control emotions. He dislikes the Phantom Thieves of Heart and Iroque for their attempts to change cognition even though secretly he wishes he had those powers for himself. That would make Norting all the more easier.
- Although he is much more powerful using telekinesis and lasers, Xemnas shows expert proficiency in using his Ethereal Blades, his combat style being that of a graceful dancer. Luke and Darth Vader have noted that he is not unlike the Sith, using psychic powers and red laser swords. Sheev Palpatine was able to get a drink with Xemnas at the Villains Pub over this and became fast friends.
- If he is the Nobody of Xehanort, why doesn’t he use a Keyblade? Well...
- Respects Harbinger, Thanos, and the Anti-Spiral for their successful attempts to wipe out life across the universe. It is unknown why he does so, but it is theorized it is because he culled the Heartless population to recreate Kingdom Hearts, which he finds relatable.
- Big Boss, Commander Shepard, and Captain America were all disgusted that Xemnas’ threats to his loyal Organization XIII that he would turn them into Dusks if they let him down. While they had scuffles with their own allies, they wouldn’t go as far as to turn them into far less intelligent mooks without a care in the world.
- Kirito and Asuna have beef with Xemnas, as they once fought against him in an alternate universe. While Xemnas is unfamiliar with the events that transpired in that universe, he learned Nobuyuki Sugou had a Nobody in that who joined the Organization. While he sees Sugou is an understandable hated figure, he wouldn’t turn down a potential ally, will he?
- Is annoyed with Maleficent and Pete for their shenanigans. He learned of their attempts to use his world as their new base and in one of the extremely rare moments of him showing some emotion, he laughed off their attempts. They are still persistent however and that humor soon devolved into irritation.
- Madoka once challenged Xemnas to his claims that anger and hate are supreme. Xemnas comely explained that as long as hate exists, villains like him will gain the perseverance to commit heinous acts just to spite those who despise them. He then points out her hatred for Lucifer has only popularized the GUAC’s reputation as the ones who have taken down one of the strongest beings in the Pantheon. He then asked that if she hates Lucifer with every fiber of her being, then why doesn’t she pour some of that hate towards Homura, the reason for her suffering. Madoka tried to counteract his statement but only remained silent, his words echoing in her mind. The following speech broke Madoka so much, it impressed Johan Liebert.
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?
- Makoto Yuki states that if Xemnas were to ever regain Kingdom Hearts again, he would seal it so he would never obtain it. Xemnas considers the teenager to be a massive threat and wishes to eliminate him.
- While Xehanort is his true original form, Xemnas does not forget he once had the body of Terra. Flashes of Terra’s memories still flow within him despite Xehanort’s side being in control and is still trying to uncover all of them. Not because he wants to know how it is like being on the side of good, he’s doing this to relieve himself of these flashbacks and wishes to reject them so he may not be bothered by them anymore.
- Does not speak about Aqua at the moment, due to her falling into darkness by this time.
- Is aware of the rather unfortunate anagram of his name. He has sworn to rip out and destroy the heart of the one who originally noticed it.
- Rumors have spread Xemnas interjects “YAMETE!” in every sentence he speaks now. Xemnas eventually traced rumors to Filthy Frank who puked on Xemnas, thinking he was anime. Xemnas has not returned since, not wishing for his coat to be stained once more. This actually originated from a certain individual called Just a Pancake who is still shitting on the entire franchise.

Sora confronted Xemnas while Riku went to see Ansem. Ansem stated that he was very disappointed he picked fighting for light instead of darkness and tried to offer one last chance to turn sides. Riku promptly told him to shut up, no matter how many times he will coax him, he will always pick good over evil. Ansem smirked, having wished for that answer so he finally have an excuse to rid of his former host once and for all. Before anyone knew it, Ansem’s Guardian became a giant ship and began wrecking havoc across the Pantheon. Various heroes were called in to aid Riku in his battle but before he could reach a hard-hitting blow, Ansem teleported away after being ordered to retreat by Xehanort who didn’t wish for his death just yet. Riku did not take this well.
- The Heartless of Terra-Xehanort, Ansem assumed the identity of his former teacher, Ansem the Wise and was the driving factor for the Heartless invading countless worlds. He manipulated Disney villains into gathering the Princesses of Heart to awaken Kingdom Hearts and gained a body by possessing Riku. His plans were thwarted by Sora and his friends and all worlds were restored but Ansem would remain inside Riku for some time, even having to take Ansem’s form in order to gain more power. Ansem was finally completely dispelled from Riku after a machine malfunction blasted the Heartless from his body. While Sora is the one who stopped him, he and Riku have a much more personal hatred against each other.
- And even after being expelled from his body, the effects that Ansem has done has gone even deeper. Ansem lacked a body when he was initially born, only being represented by a disembodied robe and due to the lack of a physical form, he was able to freely go through the space-time continuum to enact Xehanort’s will. Ansem went back in time, implanted a younger Xehanort with his older self’s mind and gave him the ability to travel through time. Ansem returned to his timeline while Young Xehanort went around time to collect other Xehanort incarnations to create the Thirteen Darknesses. Young Xehanort went back to grab Ansem who is still possessing Riku then to induct into their plan, as well as Xemnas. They will eventually be placed back into his timeline where they will meet their fates at the hands of Sora but for now, Young Xehanort brought both of them into the Pantheon to protect their original self.
- Despite the revelations about his existence casting him into a more villainous light, Ansem does not suffer from any sort of Villain Decay of any kind despite being demoted to one of Xehanort’s commanders. He is still is an extreme threat, tempting those with the power of darkness and commanding most if not all Heartless in existence. Many those who are associated with light despise Ansem for this reason as well as good-aligned darkness users.
- Has it against those who value friendship. After hearing Sora parrot those words constantly, he’s growing sick of it by now.
- Maleficent is quite pleased to know that the one who granted the Heartless to her has arrived. Although Ansem sees her as a mere Unwitting Pawn, he still allows her and Pete to use Heartless for whatever goals they have. The more evil, the merrier.
- Even he was surprised that Scar’s darkness was enough to turn himself into a Heartless without changing forms and was even more impressed when Scar returned as Groundshaker. The only other case that was similar to this was Chernobog who was already a God of Evil in the first place, so he didn’t become a Heartless.
- Thanks to his time travel shenanigans, the Pantheonic Time Police are on his back. Unfortunately, they cannot eliminate him otherwise a Temporal Paradox occur much to Ansem’s amusement.
- Sees Caius Ballad as a legitimate threat due to his attempts to destroy time can ruin all of Xehanort’s plans.
- The Guardian Ansem uses is not a separate Heartless but an extension of his own darkness, being inherited from Terra-Xehanort. Some initially though that it was a Stand, something Jotaro really doesn’t like being compared to.
- While his name may be stolen, Ansem surely lives up to his title as a researcher, having a very high intellect. He has made allies with those who fit the Mad Scientist archetypes, becoming an acquaintance with Dr. XXX over their shared hatred for the mouse. Mora has been approached by Ansem to gain even more knowledge of darkness and the Daedric Prince has provided several books on the subject matter in exchange for research on the Heart.
- Has earned the respect of Dalek Time Controller for going through time to gather allies. Dio and Thawne do as well, more so the former as he had a similar plan before.
- Melkor REALLY likes Ansem and his methods and has him as a frequent advisor on the GUAE Re Education Facility. Ansem doesn’t plan on joining him anytime soon but might consider it after Xehanort’s plans are at an end.
- His position formerly belonged to Mr. Scratch who mysteriously vanished one day to continue torture his former host. Xehanort took this opportunity to have Ansem seize his position and now Scratch has been demoted into a follower unknowingly.
- Despises the little puffball known as Kirby. He tried battling him but was injured to the point of retreating before being eaten. He has sworn revenge against Kirby for this defeat but clearly doesn’t want to fight again.
- Those who personally faced Angra Mainyu see that Ansem gives the same vibe as him. This is likely due to Ansem being made of the darkest darkness imaginable, resulting in the same aura of malice. Shirou is disturbed to find a version of himself who fell into darkness and sought the Princesses of Heart, which makes this dislike more to do with rejecting to go down that path.
- Apparently hosted his own show after receiving a call from an anonymous person. Turns out he does not have charisma with the camera and Xemnas finally told him who the caller was. Ansem is now searching for an individual named Just a Pancake so he can squander him into nothing.

TV Tropes Pantheon Group Members DatabaseHold on! Since when did we discuss about kicking out Mr. Scratch? I’ll volunteer on reworking him instead.
Also, I want to call you out on this but, do you have something against Alan Wake? Because it sounds like you really enjoy Mr. Scratch being kicked out?

I'm more or less retiring, so these will be up for grabs. As will anything from here: RJ-CLOVIS-93. Just tell me what you're taking. If you have a better choice for the trope, go ahead and tell me
