Trope Pantheons Discussion

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 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.

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.

for Xemnas.

Having no laptop access, expect no profiles from me this week.

But I still have issues to discuss.

Now that I've looked back at the SMT profiles, I found something strange. Most SMT characters have whatever timelines they come from a mystery or a mix of all of them. Only exceptions I found justifiable were Flynn (made canon by SMTIV:A), SMTI!Kazuya (made canon by SMTII), and the Demi-Fiend. Yet Zelenin and Jimenez are strictly from the Law and Chaos paths from their games (with zero influence from the New paths). As for why I kept Isabeau in the Bonds path only, the Massacre path ends with her dead (and maybe her body ressurrected to be Nanashi's Goddess), simple as that.

Daniel "Dan" Dreiberg, God Of Being Badass on Paper (Nite Owl [II], Sam Hollis)

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/rco012_8.jpg

House: Combat: Other
Lesser God
Symbol: His ship, Archie
Theme Song: Rescue Mission
Alignment: Lawful Good
Portfolio: Badass on Paper, Animal-Themed Superbeing, Adorkable, Crimefighting with Cash, Gadgeteer Genius, Rich Idiot With No Day Job, Superior Successor to the original Nite Owl, Impotency, Unkempt Beauty
Domains: Heroism, Badass, Losers
Allies: Rorschach (the only guy Rorschach considers a friend, in fact), Batman, Blue Beetle, Decidueye, Kaepora Gaebora, Owl, Cid, most of the good deities at the house of Science
Teeth-Clenched Teamwork: Doctor Manhattan, The Comedian
Enemies: Grand Duke of Owls, Negan, all the evil aligned DC Comics deities
Conflicting Opinions: Ozymandias, Dr. Manhattan
Ascended in recognition of all his good work as part of the Crimebusters, though his title recognizes along with his actual useful skills that helped him stand out as a Badass Normal, how he got disillusioned with said crimefighting, thinking that developing cutting edge tech to beat up lowly thugs was a waste of resources and too limited in scope to make any real difference.
During his forced retirement, Dan did many things but still felt empty. Thankfully, the promise of having actual threats to fight in the Pantheon, many of whom he can beat in spite of his lack of powers, makes him happy to be useful as a deity.
The first person to visit Nite Owl upon ascension, as expected, was his old partner Rorschach, with Dan being the only person the noted misanthrope could ever call a friend. The Comedian also visited, in spite of previous personality clashes with Dan.
- Regarding the other two ascended Watchmen, Dan is on two minds. Ozymandias had good motives for his "peace at the cost of many lives", but Dan is unsure whether he idealized mankind, or deformed and mutilated it instead. And Dr. Manhattan has a few things against him, as he's too detached from mankind, killed Rorschach, and caused the New 52 reboot.
His beloved Owlship "Archie" was also put in his temple, and Nite Owl rides it whenever the opportunity calls. The similarity to an airship brought Dan to Cid's attention, and both have become friends.
Easily got along with Blue Beetle, the character which he was based on, and Batman, from whom Nite Owl is basically an analogue. His engineering and physics prowess made Dan quite popular in the house of Science, although Dan's strong morality makes him reject any Mad Scientist or downright evil deity who asks for his help.
Given his owl theme, Nite Owl has enlisted Decidueye as a sidekick, and both Kaepora Gaebora and Owl like to visit Dan's temple. Nite Owl is only disappointed that of all owl-specific tropes, the only one with a deity is Ominous Owl, giving him more reason to fear and hate the Grand Duke of Owls.
A noted ornithology enthusiast, Dan can often be seen in his off hours observing the House of Birds.
While his beloved Laurie Silk Spectre doesn't ascend, Dan is at times seen courting any superheroine with entry-level powers to engage in some crimefighting and sex, in that order.
Among the people who got at odds with Dan are Negan, who he once mistook for the Comedian but turned out to be even worse of a jerk, and the Phantom of the Opera, given Nite Owl reminds him of Raoul.

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)

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/sin_ttulo_7.png

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? Please can someone give me an answer?!

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.

It should be noted all paths are canon for Flynn and we visit the Law/Chaos routes as alternate worlds for his Past Self.

That said, much like Aleph is associated with Law(SMTII is a Law Themed Game), Nocturne/Demi-Fiend is Chaos, the Main Flynn is Neutral. His White Incarnation does split into a Chaos/Law Halves for the mangas though.

Every accusation by the GOP is ALWAYS a confession.

Here is Vect, round 1. Anyone who has done brutal torture towards their subjects?

No, I don’t think so.

Asdrubael Vect, Unholy Patron of Merciless and Brutal Torture (Supreme Overlord of Commoragh, Archon of the Black Heart Kabal, Pimp Master of Commoragh)

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/rsz_1dark_eldar_lord_1283.jpg

Theme Song: The Dark Eldar theme from Dawn of War Soulstorm, alternatively Velkommen Till Commoragh
Archon (in Pantheon ranks, Greater God)
Symbol: the Kabal of the Black Heart’s Banner, the Dark Eldar’s city Commoragh and/or The Dark Eldar Emblem
Alignment: Neutral Evil
Portfolio: Supreme Overlord of the Dark Eldar, Proclaims to be A Dark Muse, Manipulative Bastard and Magnificent Bastard in both sides, Mightness of Intellect, An absolute dick, even towards other Eldar, At least 12,000 years old and may have seen the Fall, The Chessmaster, From a slave of Commoragh, to the Supreme Ruler, The Casanova (actually scratch that, he is much more than that), Feigns death quite easily, Practioner of cruelty in mercy and death
Domains: Evil, Destruction, Suffering, Terror, Torture, Mercilessness, Absolute Depravity
Herald (as much as he hates him): Archon Tahril
Followers (not that he’ll need them, though he’ll appreciate it): Devils, Atlas, The Thalmor, The Brotherhood of the Darkness, The Damned 33rd
“Allies”: Pinbacker, Richard Tager
Enemies:
- From the 41st Millenium: The God Emperor of Mankind (and all his Mon-keigh servants, especially Leman Russ and Vulcan), Eldrad Ulthran (his other Eldar counterpart), the Chaos Gods and their respective forces especially She Who Thirsts, Warboss Ghazghkull Mag Uruk Thraka, The Tyranids, Commander Farsight
- Others: Every. Single. Human. (damned Mon-keigh), literally anyone who isn’t depraved as him
Respected by: SCP-953
From the depths of the 41st Millenium, from those wars forged by several factions, be it Humanity, Orks, Eldars, Necrons, Tau, Tyranids, and Chaos, none (or rivaled in the case of Chaos) match to the depravity of the Dark Eldar. These loathsome remnants of the old and wicked culture from the Eldar past are heavy practioners to the art of absolute merciless torture. Yet none are more depraved than their Overlord, Asdrubael Vect. Leader of the Kabal of the Black Heart and current Archon of the Dark Eldar, he leads a race powered to the brim of torture and cruelty to the point that they are completely powered by misery, torture and depravity of their victims, lashing out on the souls of their victims and powered by it. Not only that they are also protected from death by their culture, rendering them partially immune to She Who Thirsts. Truly a horrifying race indeed.
It was said Vect was a part of the Pantheon during the beginnings of the House of Slaughter in its debut. However, he disappeared and was not found until portions of his body were found by a replacement to his position, by the kitsune Goddess Daji. As soon as she took helm into the House, she would later be obliterated by a rising dark figure behind her throne. Said figure would paralyze her and torture her by every means, including his weapons, his tools, and would later be sent into Commoragh’s finest gladiator pits. She would never be heard again, and the figure was confirmed, by the Eldar Ulthrad himself, to be his estranged kin, Asdrubael Vect, returning back to reclaim the glory of the Dark Eldar once more.
What makes him special is not just his methods of torture or intentions, but by the fact that his faction, the Dark Eldar (or Drukhari) are taught and cultured into the most hedonistic and sadistic culture once catered to the Eldar before the Fall. After the aformentioned Fall of the Eldar, the others who wanted to go back to their old ways set up a city within the warp, and after realizing that they can cheat Slaneesh’s curse by torturing and harnessing their victim’s agony and death, they decided to stick to that notion of absolute depravity and mercilessness and would continiously harass the Milky Way Galaxy.
- To sum up how terrifying he and the Dark Eldar are, those who have experienced or seen their methods consider their culture to be “Metaphorically on the run from the dark god whom they spawned from their UNRESTRAINED, UN-QUANTIFIABLE MURDERFUCKING!”
Vect’s temple is a ungodly mesh of every city from the warp merged into one massive labyrinth, also known as Commoragh. The city’s history has been a long one, considering Vect himself pretty much orchastrated the elimination of every political threat on the city, killing all non-loyalists and later reviving them to follow him, and finally, the complete merging and unification of all other cities into one, eventually forming Commoragh’s labyrinth structure, making it almost a maze to go through.
Upon his re-ascension, Eldrad could not be more surprised seeing that his other kin has come back once again, as the history between the Aeldari and the Drukhari are if anything, mixed. While they aren’t truly enemies, as Dark Eldar sometimes do come into terms with their original factions, Eldrad has massive beefs towards Vect’s culture as they seem so content with the torture and obsessive killing, the very cultures that gave birth to Slaneesh and eventually, the Eye of Terror. Vect on the other hand leers towards the Farseer, citing that he is nothing more but a coward for resigning to death and accepting their losses rather than reliving the old days of the Eldar. They even had a call session between each other which led to Eldrad facepalming so hard after the talk with him, even saying that it is better talking to a clown than with him.
Considered a Troll, potentially even able to out-troll Eldrad thanks to his Chronic Backstabbing Disorder. He surprisingly even trolled one of his bretheren with a gift, only to have a black hole stuffed in a box◊.
The Imperium, hearing Vect’s return, improved and multiplied their defenses ten-fold to make sure he never tries raiding another planet from their handle. He would comment saying that no matter how many times humanity will keep adding more defenses, their souls will bring much more enjoyment to the Dark Eldar with or without their divine Emperor. Emps however, calls him irrelevant, as he has more things to do other than dealing with bugs, Egyptian robots and Chaos itself.
- This later got personal upon hearing that Vulcan and Leman Russ were already inside the Pantheon grounds, especially the former. The Primarch of the Salamanders will be glad to burn Vect’s body and the rest of Commoragh after what he has done to his soldiers during their attempted desecration of Forgehammer.
Has a massive disdain towards any race in general, but special props goes to humans as a whole (read Mon’keigh). He abhors humans especially since they are nothing but pests to Eldar in general. He also sees them as perfect prey for their horrific torment considering how effective human souls are for the Warp.
- Mechs are not spared either as his Kabal’s work with captured Adeptus Mechanicus turned them into Haemonculi, living proof that suffering is their existence. This even gave chills towards most robotic deities as they know that if they can do that towards the Imperium’s mechanical divisions, they can do it towards them too.
- There is also a shtick for anyone who even dares to fight Vect and the Dark Eldar: “Pray they don’t take you alive”.
There is a warning placed within the House of Slaughter that reads: “Do not ally with the Archon Asdrubael, for it will be short-lived.” And for good reason, he loves betraying his allies all for himself. While he may have allies, it will be a matter of time before he uses them for their purpose before he can dump them into oblivion.
- Pinbacker and Richard Tager are one of the few to get into Vect’s attention as both have been inflicters of horrible torture and nasty fates. Pinbacker believes he is the Leviathan while Tager believes him as in idol. Both have gotten into the Archon’s good side, for now.
Artanis was horrified upon hearing that he was the “other Eldar” Eldrad spoke about. So much that upon comparing him to his other dark bretheren, Alarak, he believes the Tal’darim to be saints compared to the Drukhari.
- Even moreso for Alarak himself when Vect, who heard about the darker side of the Protoss and wanted to pay a visit. While they have a similar mindset, Alarak immediately kicked him out, citing him having completely abhorrent taste of the arts. On the other hand, the overlord wants to see how inflicted Protoss tastes like.
Known for attacking constantly without the need for taking dominion of planets or doing hit-and-run tactics, they do not take dominions and rather raze whatever they find for more subjects to take for their pleasure. However, Vect always oversees the raids to make sure they are successful. There was even one time when he lead an attempt of conquest toward the Kaurava Star System, though he would like to not speak of it ever.
- It is because of this that made him angry towards his herald, Archon Tahril. When he oversaw him after he appointed him as Archon of the Kabal of the Black Heart, he saw major flaws in Tahril’s strategy and saw numerous stupid actions that costed the Dark Eldar’s defeat in the system, one of which was placing the HQ of the Dark Eldar right below the HQ of the Chaos Forces. There maybe even evidence that of all people, Indrick Boreale might have defeated the Dark Eldar using STEEL REHN. And to make it worse, the Kaurava System was taken by the Orks.
Asdrubael: “TAHRIL YOU FUCKING IDIOT, WHY DID YOU POSITION OUR HEADQUARTERS RIGHT NEXT TO THE FALLEN MON’KEIGH?! THEY’LL FEED OUR SOULS TO THE GOD WE’VE BEEN TRYING TO ACTIVELY AVOID FOR THOUSANDS OF YEARS! I FUCKING HATE YOU TAHRIIIIIIL-” *watches as his cruiser gets destroyed in the process*
“Death is my meat; terror my wine.”
