Trope Pantheons Discussion

Go To

Welcome to the Trope Pantheons thread! Please read the rules:

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

    Instructions and Tips 
Here are some tips one should keep in mind when editing:

  • Preparing to write:
    • First thing to do before present a profile is to go to the Trope Pantheons discussion thread. In the forums, you must discuss with other users on adding ideas and seek their approval with sound reasoning. You can also get some assistance in the forum thread by either asking for help and those interested asking if they can help. Submissions that are added without discussion are likely to be deleted and those who violate those rules by adding Pantheon content without discussion will get reported to the mods.
    • If you feel the need to remove a character for some reason (poor quality, outdated titles, etcetera) and replace him/her with another or outright rework, please see what the other tropers think about this in the discussion thread before doing anything hasty. Use good reasoning to see if your idea can easily replace the character present without drawing out your statement or giving too ambiguous claims most do not understand.
    • Please be sure to consult others in the discussion about what you want to work before making the profile. This is done to see if your proposal is the best representative and so, in case your profile is turned down, you do not waste time writing something that others might not find suitable.
      • In the same vein, if you adopt a profile from another troper, it is recommended that you make an announcement that you have done so on the discussion thread. More often than not, a trope that was reserved for something was given away to someone else. Check the Related tab on the top of a page to see if a trope or character has been reserved by a user.
    • If, for whatever reason, you are writing about a God who just happens to be a person in real life, just try to be very careful about what you decide to say. Do not try to make the editing seem too meta (self-referential) and use the aformentioned creativity to create hypothetical scenarios towards fictional characters.
  • When writing a profile for a character, here are a few things to note:
    • All deities should be sorted by their divine ranking. Put Overdeities on the top of the page and Quasideities on the bottom. Also be sure to add them in alphabetical order by their first/given name (can be reversed if it is Eastern ordered). For a group, if there is no official name for them all list down all their names by order of relevance or (if too long to list) title them as Insert Name Here Main Characters or some other identifiable title along the same lines.
    • The maximum number of tropes that a god can have is two, but do not try to abuse that fact. If you need to use a second trope to specify a certain thing about their position, that can be excused either because said character represents their trope choice very well alongside the first trope. It is still generally encouraged to only have one trope.
    • A trope can only belong to one profile at a time. The only time two profiles can share a trope is if there are explicit variations listed in the trope page proper (e.g. Muscle Angst is held by both Biscuit Krueger and Chihiro Fujisaki as the former represents "Too Much Muscle" and the latter represents "Not Enough Muscle")
    • If the character you are about to add to a House already exists in another, make sure to mention that this person has spots in other House as well. Up to 2 places can be made for a deity, with the sole exceptions being those at the Main House to highlight those characters’ importance to the Pantheon’s lore.
    • For a character's theme song, try to avoid calling it "Theme of God X" or "Theme of (Show where God X originates from)". If possible, try to find out if the song has an actual name through research. Most importantly, it has to be part their series’ official soundtracks from media. Do not list songs that are made by fans or outside sources. If they were not specifically used as music for that specific character, then they do not count. Furthermore, it has to be a general theme specifically made for that characters’ appearances, not some generic music that plays for many other instances not related to the character in question.
    • For images, when adding an image for your chosen character, it is highly recommended to use a stylized image that embodies the character or renders that also highlights a character’s behavior (such as cool poses). Most images should be from the main adaptations of the character, unless the images from the other media are of a higher quality than the adaptation. Unless it is needed, do not use fanart for images. If you are, please attribute to the original artist. Due to the website’s dark mode, removing white backgrounds from an image is paramount. This website is suggested to do the background removal. If an image you have takes up too much bytes, it is suggestible to use this site to reduce the byte size. If the byte is still too big, put the compressed image to other sites (or even the same one) to compress even further. Use wikias to look for better images, as even wikias for the series might not contain good official images.
    • Creativity is your friend. While it is not recommended to get too ditzy at your ideas, it is best that when writing a profile for a certain character, do you think of capable scenarios between X and Y. Tip: do not use shallow examples (X wields a sword and Y wields one too) and try to think of relationships that makes sense (i.e those characters that are shout-outs for another).
  • Pantheon Content:
    • Some series or genres will eventually have greater representation in the Pantheon than others. This is unavoidable, but a little diversity helps to make you not look like a shill per say. Try to ensure that if you add a deity from a popular series, make sure that it is because they are a good representative for the trope in question, and not just because they are connected to another deity in their respective canon.
      • As far as deities from actual mythologies, there is generally expectation to build the profiles off interactions from fictional portrays rather than basing it entire from the actual myth. Therefore, a mythological deity should be more of a Composite Character whose main identity is from the actual myth.
    • Occasionally there will be Gods that carry a title without a trope. This is not forbidden, but it is well advised not to abuse them. The only house that a tropeless profile are wholly allowed is the House of Food. Mainly due to most food items lacking tropes, and adding tropes about said foodstuffs is slightly unnecessary. However, the character being ascended for their choice of a food, or food-related thing must be a decently good representative of said item. (i.e their Trademark Favorite Food, or something that they are closely associated with In-Universe, or both).
    • For Dominions and Treasures profiles, always consider what made those places/objects popular in the first place. Were they plot-important, identifiable imagery or have a unique aspect of it? Do not just bring regular objects under the basis of following a certain canon.
  • For Profile Standards:
    • Flavor text is used to describe certain things about a character, place or object. To avoid short ones, it is recommended to write flavor text with 4-7 sentences that can fill around 2 lines each. Be warned that adding too many sentences does not equal good flavor text as it is not an essay of sorts (unless words are substantial and do add to the overall line).
    • Character Profiles of a certain person should have the following:
      • A portfolio that contains at least 7 (at the minimum) tropes describing their character.
      • Flavor text count for a deity profile should have by minimum, 10 (depending if the character in question has enough relationships/characterization) to 15 with a maximum of 20-25 for an individual profile.
      • On the other hand, group profiles (profiles of a group that has 4 or more members) have their maximum flavor text count to 15 minimum, giving individual lines for the other members of the group (unless the members are not as characterized) up to 30 at max.
    • Dominion profiles of a certain place should have the following:
      • A portfolio that contains at least 5 (at the minimum) tropes describing the context of the place.
      • Flavor text count should range at least 10 to 15.
    • Treasure profiles (inanimate objects without a trope) should have the following:
      • A portfolio that contains at least 6 (at the minimum) tropes that describes the object itself.
      • Flavor text count should be at least 7 flavor text up to 12 to constitute a treasure profile.

    Divine Ranking System 
  • Overdeity: Omnipotent-level Reality Warpers capable of manipulating the entire universe (or at least the world) at will. Within their own universe they are believed to be omnipotent, or at least impossible-to-completely-destroy embodiments or concepts.
  • Greater Gods: High-level Reality Warpers and that are extremely powerful (capable of destroying or changing anywhere from a large city to a planet at will) and very strong non-reality warpers capable of doing the same thing.
  • Intermediate Gods: Deities at this level are capable of strong but specialized powers such as hydrokinesis, pyrokinesis, etc. without major drawbacks and low level Reality Warpers capable of affecting their immediate area at will.
  • Lesser Gods: Capable of highly specific or little power on their own, or suffer from Power at a Price. However, they may be able to ruthlessly exploit their power or combine it with just being badass enough to make up for it.
  • Demigods: Basically the Badass Normals of the pantheon, making up for their lack of abilities with strength, strategy, and/or planning.
  • Quasideities: Any otherwise normal human, human equivalent, or below without any special powers or training will fall here.

    Templates 
Template for adding a new deity:

God X, God/dess of (Insert Trope Here) (Alternate names/Nicknames, Fan Nickname)

  • An image, if possible. Please use official art or a screenshot for a picture.
  • Rank: This can range from Quasideity, Demigod, Lesser God, Intermediate God, Greater God, to Overdeity, based on representation of power mentioned above.
  • Symbol: An image or icon used to represent the deity.
  • Theme Song: Official song (in other words, no fan music, regardless of quality) that usually is used in affiliation with the character. If the deity is a musician this will most likely be their Signature Song. If possible, give a link for reference, preferably on either a website like Soundcloud or YouTube.
  • Alignment: Good, evil, neutral etc. Forget about The Great Character Alignment Debate here, the Pantheon is one of the few places where you can assign Dungeons & Dragons alignment to characters that don't have alignment system. After all, the Pantheon is based on D&D and is made for fun.
  • For Pokémon deities only:
    • Gender: Defines the gender of the Pokémon; if genderless, it instead defines what gender they identify as.
    • Ability: Provides the Pokémon's ability. If they can Mega Evolve, the new ability is listed as well.
    • Moves: Defines the four moves used by a Pokémon. A Z-Move may also be listed.
  • Portfolio: Tropes associated with the character.
  • Domains: Things that the character has influence over.
  • Herald: Non-ascended loyal character that is from the same series as the ascended character.
  • High Priest: Non-ascended like heralds, but not from the same series, and can serve as a worthy replacement in case something would happen. They can be served as part-time workers in case the originals are busy with some jobs. Co-Godhood is accepted depending on the approval of the originals, usually if the co-deity is from the same series.
  • Followers: Non-ascended characters that are not part of the Pantheon, but would probably worship this character by the fact that they share the ascended character's trope.
  • Relationships between ascended characters go here with your chosen character, it goes something like this:
    • Allies: Members of the Pantheon that are allies, those that share the same values as them and would theoretically be friends with them.
    • Rivals: Members of the Pantheon that are rivals, people who may look at your character with suspicion or a challenge.
    • Enemies: Members of the Pantheon that are foes, those who would see your chosen character as a threat, either on their pespective or yours.
    • Additional Character Relationships: Members of the Pantheon that do not fit in various relationships (examples include Enemy Mine, Vitriolic Best Buds, Teeth-Clenched Teamwork, Headbutting Heroes, Friendly Enemy, Friendly Rival, Just Friends, etc.), allies, rivals, or enemies.
    • Partner: Defines a partnership with an ascended deity and Mon-type. (if any)
    • Feared by/Fears: A deity whom the members of the Pantheon notably fear or are feared by.
    • Respected by/Respects: A deity whom the members of the Pantheon respect or are respected by.
    • Opposed by/Opposes: Not necessarily the same as "Enemies", but this is used for any deity whom the members of the Pantheon directly opposes or is opposed by (basically the opposite of "Respects") terms of certain viewpoints, regardless of alignment.
    • Pitied by/Pities: A deity whom the members of the Pantheon feel pity for or are found pitiable by.
    • Conflicting Opinion: Sometimes, the Deities argue over specific themes and philosophies.
  • Add the Intro. The intro is made up of two trivia, the Ascension Text (or just the Ascension) and The Bio. Both are necessary, but which order you use for them may vary depending on the profile in question. It may be better for one profile to have The Bio first and the Ascension second or vice-versa, although for the most part the order is irrelevant:
    • The Ascension Text: This the story of how the character got into the Pantheon and/or was ascended. There are many ways for this to happen. They may be tricked into it or have simply wandered into the Pantheon, they may have had an already ascended character bring them in, they may already be in the Pantheon (via being another deity's Herald or sharing a trope) and got "promoted", or some combination of the above. Anything is possible in the Pantheon, so use your imagination, but try to incorporate their trope into the story, if possible.
    • The Bio: A brief synopsis on the character's backstory. No need for the character's entire life/production history, but just give enough that those who don't know the character can get an idea of how the character works.
  • Now add some random trivia/facts about events/alignments/moments/fights/friendships/relations etc.
  • And some more trivia/facts.
  • And a couple of more.
    • Note: Standard amount of flavor text for Deities/Characters is 10-15 (15-20 for group profiles) at minimum to 20-25 (30 for group profiles) at maximum.

Template for Dominions profiles:

Place X, Place of (Insert Trope Here) (Alternate names/Nicknames, Fan Nickname)

  • An image, if possible. Please use official art or a screenshot for a picture.
  • Theme Song (Optional): Not important as compared to Deity and Dominion profiles but a notable mention if there is an accompanying song in use with the object.
  • Alignment: Refers to the dominion's role in their story, be it those used by villains or used by the Player Character.
  • Portfolio: Tropes associated with the dominion.
  • Domains: Things that the place has links to.
  • Relationships (Optional): Unless the location has a connection with a specific deity, relationships are optional and may not be required. However, if there are deities linked to the same series as where the dominion is linked to, note them using the relationships, this includes deities that theoretically have interest with said dominion, good or evil otherwise.
  • Add the Intro. Here the introduction of the Dominion is added with some tidbits regarding the origins of its' creation and usage in the story. You can also add what made it popular/iconic/important here.
  • Now add some random trivia/facts about events/alignments/moments/fights/friendships/relations etc.
  • And some more trivia/facts.
  • And a couple of more.
    • Note: Standard amount of flavor text for Dominions is 10 at minimum to 15 at maximum.

Template for Treasure profiles:

The name of the item in here (Alternate names/Nicknames, Fan Nickname)

  • An image, if possible. Please use official art or a screenshot for a picture.
  • Appearance: A shortened description of the item's looks with some notable features also mentioned.
  • Class: Refer to the Treasure Classification System in the Great Treasury.
  • Alignment: Refers to the objects' role in their story, be it those used by villains or used by the Player Character.
  • Theme Song (Optional): Not important as compared to Deity and Dominion profiles but a notable mention if there is an accompanying song in use with the object.
  • Museum Check: A note that says whether the item is viewable by the public.
  • Portfolio: Tropes associated with the item.
  • Domains: Things that the item has links to.
  • Relationships (Optional): Unless the item has a connection with a specific deity, relationships are optional and may not be required. However, if there are deities linked to the same series as where the item is linked to (especially the original owner of the item), note them using the relationships, this includes deities that theoretically have interest with said object, good or evil otherwise.
  • Add the Intro. Here the introduction of the Treasure is added with some tidbits regarding the origins of its' creation and usage in the story. You can also add what made it popular/iconic/important here.
  • Now add some random trivia/facts about events/alignments/moments/fights/friendships/relations etc.
  • And some more trivia/facts.
  • And a couple of more.
    • Note: Standard amount of flavor text for Treasures is 7 at minimum to 12 at maximum.

Hmm... Perhaps we should make it a rule that if you adopt a profile from someone, you have to announce it here before you get started on it. Could save a lot of wasted time and energy if this sort of situation happens again.

In another few hours, the sun will rise.

Yeah, that's a recurrent issue. Always announce if you pick up something because more often than not, a trope that was reserved for something was given away to someone else.

I did get permission for it, it's just been a while since then

Anything more I should add to Dr Cossack, or is he ready to go?

Doctor Mikhail Sergeyevich Cossack, God of Initial Final Bosses (Dr Cossack)

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/cossackcw_1194.jpg
  • Votes: 1(nightelf37)
  • House: Boss Design (House of Gaming)
  • Demigod
  • Symbol: A red "C"
  • Theme Song: Dr Cossack Stage 1 and Stage 2
  • Alignment: Neutral Good, True Neutral if Kalinka is threatened
  • Portfolio: Disc-One Final Boss, Papa Wolf, Only Antagonistic Because His Daughter Was Kidnapped By Wily, Russian Guy Suffers Most, Reluctant Mad Scientist, Popular Minor Character, Arctic Fortress, Badass Beard, Smart People Wear Glasses
  • Domains: Robotics, Russia, Bosses, Being Blackmailed, Fathers, Science, The Environment
  • Heralds: His daughter Kalinka Cossack, and the un-ascended Mega Man 4 Robot MastersList here 
  • Sub-ordinate: Bright Man
  • Allies:
  • Enemies:
  • Opposes: Bob
  • Dr Mikhail Sergeyevich Cossack is a Russain-born roboticist, often overshadowed by the more famous Dr Light. In his debut he appeared to cause trouble for Mega man to prove he was the best robot designer, however after Mega Man defeated him it turned out Dr Wily blackmailed him into acting in his name by taking his daughter hostage. When Mega Man went on to beat the real antagonist, Cossack has remained an ally of Dr Light.
  • While his appearance(or really references) to him are sparse after his appearance, he's popular with the fans for being the first human/roboticist other than Wily or Light to appear in a Mega Man game. He's had a bigger role in the Archie comics. Well him and his daughter Kalinka, who's one of the few female characters from the Mega Man (Classic) era. Giving Dr Light the powerful support unit Beat as a reward for saving his family helps.
  • Very protective of his daughter. Dr Ludvig Maxis understands how you can be forced to do bad things to keep your child safe, so the two get along. Rumor has it that Dr Cossack wants to understand how Dr Maxis uploaded his consciousness in hopes of guiding robotics into the future. Probably because he doesn't think Dr Light should have all the fun. Given how he was forced into villainy, he sympathizes with Taylor Herbert and Tychus Findlay.
  • As a loving father, he considers scientists who abuse and experiment on their children to be even more despicable than Dr Wily. As such, he hates Relius Clover for what he's done to his kids and wife, and hates Professor Hojo for experimenting on his family. He also considers Afton loathsome for being a Serial Killer who twisted animatronics to his evil ends, and has either been callously manipulative or abusive to his family, along with the fear someone like him might come after his daughter. Shou Tucker and Ragyo Kiryuin's deranged experimentation and abuse is something he despises.
  • Mega Man 4 came out shortly after the Soviet Union fell, so some believe that he has communist leanings. Given the vague year of 20XX and Cossack looking like he's in his forties, it's unclear if he was born before or after the fall of the Soviet Union. He get along with Tashkent by any rate, so even if he's not communist he has some passion for his country's history.
  • Has no love for Dragovich or Makarov for being exceedingly villainous Russians who will cause nothing by trouble. He opposes Dr Gero as well, as while he may not be as heartless as them he's guilty of forcibly kidnapping teenagers to turn into androids in his vendetta against Son Goku. He does have a tinge of sympathy for Gero, however, because he lost his son and as a father gets why that'd hurt him so much. While Dr Cossack isn't enemies with Bob, he doesn't exactly trust him given his history with Mega Man deities.
  • The creator of at least eight Robot Masters, though Dr Wily likely had a hand involved in Ring Man and Skull Man. Cossack Robot Laboratories were also behind the new Tundra Man. Many of which have environment-related or labor functions(eg: Dust Man being a sanitation worker, Toad Man helping with irrigation). Viridi was intrigued by this, and wants to encourage this side of Dr Cossack and get robots to work more on the side of nature. As does the Lorax. Dr Cossack is focusing some of his attention of getting rid of Hexxus' influence.
  • No stranger to the cold, having graduated at the Ural State Technical Anniversary and putting his fortress in Siberia. With the creation of Tundra Man, Dr Cossack is interested in Mei's freezing abilities and her scientific knowledge. Seems to get along with Professor Utonium as well. Dr Mobius gets along with him in part because he's the most benevolent of the Think Tank, having disagreed and even broken off with them at one point due to their amoral outtake on Science! while he himself grew a "con-science". Cossack helps keep an eye out on the Think Tank, so Dr Mobius keeps his eye out for Kalinka's safety.
  • According to one webcomic, Dr Wily kidnapping his daughter was a happy accident for Wily, and the whole thing was mainly trying to get back Stalin's brain. Albeit from Ran, the fan-created robot of Kalinka Cossack who can't take a hit but can always come back with back-up bodies. Cossack was mildly amused he was one of the comic's only sane men (at least when he's not plastered) and thinks Ran might be a good idea.
  • Doesn't want to be reminded of the Brazilian Mega Man comic where his daughter is trying to bring communism across the multiverse. On a less embarrassing note, he apparently has watching ballet as a hobby.

  • Enemies: Fortinbras, Demonic Oda Nobunaga, Toyotomi Hideyoshi, Shang Tsung
  • Really Awkward Relationship: 'Normal' Oda Nobunaga
  • Usually called Samanosuke, at first he was just known as a relative of Akechi Mitsuhide that stayed with him to the bitter end. But for some reason, he was attacked by a group of demons called the Genma, died, and resurrected by the Oni to become their champion, Onimusha, and set out to defeat the rampant villainized figures of the Sengoku Period thanks to Fortinbras. All while wielding weapons of many elements that shone in bright color depending on the element. He possessed that many variety, which became the reason of his ascension.
  • On his ascension, he was quite surprised with the changes of some figures he knew in life. For instance, the Oda Nobunaga he defeated seemed to also existed in different form, but there's another Nobunaga that looked more chill, calculating and a bit more subdued in his 'demon king image'... but overall not that much of an Evil Overlord that he knew of. This much culture shock took quite long enough for Samanosuke to get used to.
    • Of course, he also just had to get used to how his father Mitsuhide tends to suffer Split Personality in which his bad self could get as bad as the Genma themselves...
    • At least he's glad to meet the sister he rarely visited in life, Gracia. And he'll gladly tell that in his verse, Gracia turned out normally.
    • He expected that Toyotomi Hideyoshi would be a scrawny bootlicking screwball, but was shocked when he saw that Hideyoshi was instead a giant of a man... and a lot more capable to giving him a severe beatdown. While Samanosuke managed to stand his ground, he's quite surprised with this particular change.
  • Fortinbras was absolutely furious that the Red Onimusha himself has entered the Pantheon. Samanosuke has learned a few things from one of his high priests that he personally accompanied, Soki, and considered that he beat Fortinbras once... he can do so again. And also borrows one of the phrases from Soki himself, stating that Fortinbras is just very single-minded and can't even understand anything other than 'evil'... not being a God that should be bowed to, but just a 'piece of shit' (He'd say it in a softer manner, he's not that foul-mouthed)
  • Samanosuke was quite surprised to see Amaterasu. As far as he learned from his verse, it was Fortinbras who sired mankind, only as a Slave Race and food race for the Genma. To see Amaterasu being the protector of mankind that was abhorred with how Fortinbras acts made Samanosuke swear fealty on her and promised to aid her in case his hunch comes true that Fortinbras is planning to make his verse's history override Japan's overall.
  • His demon/Genma-slaying achievements caught the attention of the demon-slayer Dante Sparda, who likes to sometimes butt and join in Samanosuke's Genma-slaying activities. Samanosuke appreciates and respects his combat skills, but sometimes felt a bit overwhelmed when Dante decides to get a bit chatty. Also Dante stated that his weapons are pretty shiny.

Yagyu Munenori, God of Simplicity's Effectiveness (Jubei, Sword Saint, Ryutan, The Lion Who Bore No Fangs, Peerless in Swordsmanship, Saber Empireo, Yagyu Tajima-no-Kami Munenori, Guardian of the Tajima, Sitting Master, Historically Accurate Old Man)

  • Lesser God
  • Symbol: His historically accurate black armor
  • Alignment: Lawful Neutral
  • Portfolio: Yagyu-Shinkage-Ryuu Swordsmanship, Power In Simplicity, Action Politician, Zen and Sword As One, Cool Old Guy, Life-Giving Sword, Victims of Historical Villain Upgrade, Iaijutsu Practitioner, Fighting With Pure Swordsmanship Instead of Fancy Powers
  • Domain: Combat, Style, War
  • Allies: Tokugawa Ieyasu, Honda Tadakatsu, Hattori Hanzo, Sanada Nobuyuki and Inahime, Tomoe Gozen, Okita Souji, Bruce Lee
  • Rivals: Miyamoto Musashi, Akechi Samanosuke Hidemitsu
  • Enemies: Fortinbras, Amakusa Shiro Tokisada
  • One of the heads of the Yagyu Shinkage Ryuu school, a sword style that emphasizes in less flashy style, but extremely accurate and dangerous. Munenori is one of its heads that has reached zen state with this style, known as the 'Sword Saint'. When the throne became vacant due to reasons, this throne was handed down to Munenori.
  • Aside of being a Sword Saint, Munenori also dabbles in politics, and for the most part, he was actually one of the few good politicians, dedicating his life and guidance for the people and teaching that swords are meant to give life, not kill. Of course, the bad rap of politicians overall made him ripe for Historical Villain Upgrade, especially when his son Mitsuyoshi was kicked out and then became one of the most romanticized swordsman in history, and he's often being cited as really jealous at his son. In reality, Munenori never held it against him, he taught everything he could, and that accidental strike on the eye also shaped him up as a great swordsman too.
  • As he guarded the generations of the Tokugawa Shogunate until his time to depart from the mortal realm, he had the gratitude of many Tokugawa supporters.
  • One of Munenori's hidden desires (well, everyone can have that...) is to be free from all worldly desires and just fight properly as best as he can. This is how he got into a rivalry with the swordsman Musashi, not just some 'heroic Musashi vs slimy Munenori' like many believed.
  • In his younger days, it looked like he was often seen just fighting with his scabbard. Drawing swords will have to force him to a more complex style, and he'd just do it when there's no other choice. Also, it would have a higher chance to kill, scabbards will let him not kill unnecessarily.
  • He heard the legendary phrase of Bruce Lee "I fear not the man who practiced 100 punches once, but I fear the man who practiced one punch 100 times.", and was immediately impressed. He agreed that it's the surest way of victory.
  • To his utmost shame, it seemed that there was another version of him which was the culmination of every villainization he got, where he's instead a sleazy, sadistic, evil swordsman with his own overly high ambition. To cleanse this, Munenori personally hunted down this evil self, and eventually struck him down in a plains bathed in moonlight.
    My mind is idle. But at the same time, it also needs to achieve freedom. This is known as reaching the state of being free from worldly or worthless thoughts​. Kenjutsu Musou - Kenzen Ichinyou.
    • After clearing the misconceptions with the resident of that world, Akechi Samanosuke (who then became his rival in a more friendlier way than before), Munenori learned about the being that made that world... the demon Fortinbras. After awhile learning about him, for Munenori, it doesn't matter if it's a demon, or he made that disgraceful version of him. A threat to mankind like him... will be cut down.
  • And if you ask what's his most dangerous position? Sitting. His sit level is on EX rank.

And... well I hope I can make it before December 24th, my time. Which should be around 72 or more hours from now...

Alright, almost done the first volume of the light novel. My brain is getting tired now, so I'm going to post a rough draft of RyuZU's profile just to show how much progress I've worked on so far.

Right now, I don't need any [tup] because it's still far too early to start the ascension countdown. I need more time to finish this first.


RyuZU, Goddess of Clockwork Creatures (Y D-01)
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/5153a06158a8357bd72d0be352481283.jpg
  • Potential House: Robotics & Machinery
  • Rank: Intermediate Goddess
  • Symbol: Clockwork Gears
  • Theme Song:
  • Alignment: True Neutral (Alignment depends on her current master.)
  • Portfolio: Clockwork Creature, Deadpan Snarker, Elegant Gothic Lolita, Hammerspace, Little Miss Badass, Older Than They Look, Ridiculously Human Robot, Robot Girl, Sinister Scythe, Too Many Belts, Undying Loyalty.
  • Domains: Clockwork Automata, Loyalty to Master.
  • Herald: Naoto Miura.
  • Allies:
  • Rivals: Emerl, 2B.
  • Enemies: GLaDOS, Dr. Eggman, Dr. Wily, Relius Clover.
  • Respects: Chronos.
  • An automaton made entirely of clockwork parts, RyuZU is the first of the Y series of automata that exist on the mechanized Earth of gears. However, what makes her stand out from the rest of them is that she's supposedly the "ultimate" clockwork automaton made with such finesse, the others couldn't possibly match her level. She was made 1000 years ago, and was dormant for 206 years (1,804,926 hours to be exact) before being discovered by clocksmith Naoto Miura in a freak accident. Since then, she has made Naoto her master, and serves him at his beck and call.
  • RyuZU ascended into the pantheon for the fact that she's a true sentient being running on clockwork. The amount of gears that compose the interior of her body rounds up at a number of 4,207,600,008,643 (well over four trillion gears in layman's terms), and this is not even taking into account the other additional parts that make up her structure, all of them rounding up in the trillions. Many scientist deities, even those specializing in clockwork gadgets, are all perplexed as to how her body has managed to function with all that clockwork crammed in such a relatively small space.
  • Despite her rather refined demeanor, RyuZU has a very wicked tougue and loves to throw verbal abuse at anyone who she sees as "low lifes". It's for this reason that not a lot of deities attempt to socialize with her unless they can prove to her directly that they're indeed worth her time. She's managed to give even foul-mouths like Bender a run for their money.
    • One particular deity who can closely match RyuZU's level of verbal abuse is GLaDOS, who has a lot of experience in giving condescending speeches and insults towards a certain test subject. What resulted was a war of witty verbal insults being slung at each other, with GLaDOS calling RyuZU "an oudated piece of clockwork junk", and RyuZU calling GLaDOS "a defective computer". Neither have been on good terms since.
  • She has a lot of respect for Chronos, not only because he's the literal god of time, but also because he's the representative deity of Clock Punk. She notes that his superb clocksmithing skills are on par with the legendary "Y" himself, and is one of the few people outside of Naoto who she willingly allows to conduct maintenance on her.

Anyway, since Hawaiian-Shirted Tourist didn't work out for Jack Carver, how about Just One Man? The phrase is said by the enemy mooks about him. He's a One-Man Army who, over the course of the game, fights not only against an army of mercenaries, but Giant Mooks with rocket launchers, Demonic Spider snipers and ultimately against the mutated, superpowered Big Bad.

@Divine Flame 100: Add Agatha Heterodyne as an ally. She's constructed quite a few clockwork inventions before (called Clanks in-universe). She even has several little ones with sentience that can create more of themselves with similar sentience (though of lower quality, so there's a limit to their multiplication).

Also perhaps mention the Court ordering Mechanickles to leave before Ryuzu's arrival. He resists, she arrives, and things happen before he's forced to concede (or maybe serve as High Priest). His Disney villain allies would also become her enemies due to this.

Rough, first draft of Chimecho. Who should be Chimecho's partner and why? Who would work as Chimecho's friends?

Chimecho, God of Junk Rares (The Wind Chime Pokemon)

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/358chimecho.png
  • House: Game Characters (House of Gaming)
  • Lesser God
  • Symbol: The Pure Incense
  • Theme Song: Mt Pyre Summit
  • Alignment: True Neutral
  • Gender: Male
  • Ability: Levitate
  • Moveset: Heal Bell, Extrasensory, Uproar, Safeguard
    • Z-Move: Shattered Psyche
  • Portfolio: Psychic Powers, Make Me Wanna Shout, Very Hard To Get With Little Pay-off, Average Middling Stats, Joke Character, Power Floats, Can Naturally Learn Heal Bell, Evolves Through Friendship
  • Domains: Psychic Powers, Wind Chimes, Bells, Noise, Rarity
  • Interested in: the House of Music
  • Allies: Ash Ketchum, Youma Konpaku, Casper, Audino, Unown, Dan Hibiki, Castform
    • Partner: TBA
  • Odd Friendship with: Banette
  • On good terms with: James of Team Rocket, Dan Hibiki, the House of Wind and Air
  • Enemies: The evil Pokemon trainers, evil ghosts like King Boo, Al'Akir
  • Jealous of: Exodia, most legendary and psuedo-legendary Pokemon
  • The evolved form of Chingling, Chimecho is the Wind Chime Pokemon. A rare Psychic-type, it is found at the top of Mt Pyre in its original native environment. While hard to get and has a low catch rate, the pay-off isn't worth it given Chimecho's poor stats and being overshadowed by other available Psychic types.
  • The Castform in the pantheon is specifically from the top of Mt Pyre, where the species was first found. As such despite being weak to ghosts, he's actually alright being around them because Mt Pyre is home to many Ghost-type Pokemon. Well, those who aren't evil like King Boo. He seems to be friendly around Youma Konpaku and Casper, who find his bell and chiming pleasant. The species has shown up at other shrines and ancient/spooky places.
  • James thought that his old friend Chimecho had recovered from his illness and had ascended to the pantheon, only for the news to be broken to him that this wasn't his Chimecho. He still got along with this Chimecho, though it doesn't agree with Team Rocket's evil ways. Ash was accepting of Chimecho as well, given his kind heart and even Team Rocket's Chimecho wasn't that bad anyway.
  • Somewhat upset by his status as a Junk Rare. He's jealous towards Exodia for being rare AND powerful, and for the same reason has some envy towards legendary and psuedo-legendary Pokemon. However because of this he sympathizes with Castform due to being a fellow rare but weak "gimmick Pokemon", and from the same generation.
  • While it seems odd, Chimecho gets along with Banette. This is probably due to being based off objects(a wind chime and doll respectively) and being found in the same area. Maybe Banette just likes using Chimecho's bell to spook people. Audino gets along with Chimecho as she's rare and not all that strong, and Unown for being a fellow weak Psychic type. Also seems to get along with Dan Hibiki, being a fellow Joke Character.
  • Prefers being in windy areas, due to being a living wind chime. Most of the gods there Chimecho seems to get along with, but not A'Akair since his tornadoes are too much for him. The chiming comes off as pleasant, and he wishes to be better at using his bells. For this, he is working with the House of Music. Chimecho also likes berries.

Standard repost. Any addition or improvement suggestions?


The Vibe Scepter (The Vibe Wand)
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/bowser_with_the_vibe_scepter.png
Bowser holding the Vibe Scepter.
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/vibe_scepter_faces_resized.png
The Vibe Scepter set to Calm, Joy, Rage, and Gloom.
  • Potential Place: Magical Artifacts
  • [tup]s: 1 (nightelf37)
  • Appearance: A thin staff with a gray orb on top. The motif can be green, yellow, red, or blue depending on the selected Vibe.
  • Alignment: Chaotic Neutral; Chaotic Evil under Bowser's possession.
  • Portfolio:
  • Domains: Emotions, Mind Manipulation(?)
  • Originally discovered by Bowser while at his summer villa, he soon realized the potential the item had and used it to invade the Mushroom Kingdom, kidnapping not Peach (surprisingly), but Mario, Luigi, and a few dozen Toads. Peach soon set out to recuse them, and following the climatic battle between her and Bowser, the scepter was seemingly lost... until it was discovered amidst the chaos that is the house of Emotion.
  • Following an extremely emotional game of keep away between Peach, the Mario Bros., Bowser, and several Gods that kept finding the thing, the scepter was finally retrieved, and the emotional turmoil it caused was reversed. Due to the chaos it can cause, along with how easily Bowser got his claws on it in the first place, it was sent to the Treasury to keep it out of everyone's hands.
  • The Vibe Scepter is a simple item with the power to severely influence the emotions of everyone around it, the user included, with a surprisingly large affection distance. While this wouldn't be so bad in itself, the feelings it brings are extremely powerful - enough to turn even the happiest of people into a sobbing wreck. It also gives the effected powers; those filled with rage can cause tremors and use fire, people wracked with grief gain super speed and enough tears to flood a house, the ones brimming with joy can fly and are surrounded by a small twister, and the calm... well, they just calm themselves and heal their wounds.
  • Due to how closely his powers are linked to his emotions, Mob is very, very wary of the scepter, worried what could happen if he were effected by it, and is very glad he wasn't there when it was found.
  • Due to it being a long stick called the Vibe Scepter, it didn't take long for some of the more... immature gods to start making jokes about it. Boomstick in particular had a field day with it.
  • It's unknown how the Vibe Scepter ended up in the house of Emotion. Some claim that without an owner and out of its original resting place, it was drawn to the pure insanity of the house and made its way there. Others think a particularly trollish Reality Warper deity heard about it and brought it there for kicks.

The Spiral Sucker (The Juju)
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/jane_with_the_spiral_sucker.png
Jane Crocker holding the sucker.
  • Appearance: A red and green lollipop.
  • Alignment: Chaotic... something. Those under its influence are various levels of Chaotic, usually Chaotic Stupid.
  • Portfolio: Fantastic Drug, Formed from two separate suckers that combined together
  • Owner: Calliope
  • This piece of candy is a Cherub artifact known as a Juju, formed from two separate suckers belonging to Calliope and Caliborn. When combined, the sucker gains a powerful attraction magnet and the ability to activate a person's Trickster Mode, turning them into a pastel-clothed, peach-skinned maniac hopped up on ten types of sugar, as the Alpha Kids unfortunately found out. Following a short time with Jane Crocker, it eventually worked its way back to Calliope, and following an incident at Rose Lalonde and Kanaya Maryam's wedding, Dirk Strider persuaded her to bring it to the Pantheon for safe keeping.
  • Andrew Hussie once compared using the sucker to using a Super Star; Mario disagrees, saying that while they have a similar use in concept, a Super Star still requires skill and maneuverability to use; being able to run through enemies means nothing if you can't jump over lava or bottomless pits.
  • It's been speculated whether or not the the sucker has any connection to the Invincibility Candy from Kirby's universe, due to them looking incredibly similar, just with different colors and the latter having a star attached to it. On that note, it's been agreed to keep Kirby as far away from the Spiral Sucker as possible, lest he be compelled to eat it and bring the wrath of a million suns down on the Pantheon and all who inhabit it.

So, may I ask if we are still pushing Fox to Lesser God? Also, Aldia’s repost again. Sorry if I’m posting this again but I wish to finish Aldia and prepare for the Robed Figure and Khagdar’s profile.

Young Troper, there are but two paths. Inherit the order of this world, or destroy it.

Aldia, Divine Achiever of Absolute Immortality (Lord Aldia, Scholar of the First Sin)

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/image_513.png
  • Leitmotif: Aldia, Scholar of the First Sin
  • Unknown Rank
  • Symbol: A charred, deformed version of his head.
  • Alignment: Possibly Chaotic Neutral or True Neutral after reaching the truth of his immortality.
  • Portfolio: A being of mismatched roots and of unknowable power, Was Once a Man, Sought immortality to find the truth of the world, Wreathed in Flames, Reveals the truth about the world he leaves in, Completely away from the strands of humanity, The Soulless, Hinted and later proven the atrocities Gwyn has commited but not without flaws
  • Domains: Life, Death, Immortality, Scholars, the First Sin
  • Additional Relationships: The Bearer of the Curse
  • Respects: The Dai Gurren Brigade, The Ashen One
  • Opposes: The House of Royalty except Arthur Pendragon, Lucifer
  • Opposed by: The Maiden in Black, Dhuum, most scholars in general.
  • Conflicting Opinion: Lady Yagokoro, The God-Emperor of Mankind
  • Commonality Connection: The Ancestor, Murky, Grenth
  • Subject of Interest to: Ragyo Kiryuin, Alex Wesker
  • Enemies: Lord Gwyn, Manus, Father of the Abyss or to be specific, Manus’ fragment, Nashandra, YHVH, Belial, Nekron,
  • The elder son of the fabled King Vendrick, Aldia and his brother sought to find a cure to the Undead Curse through every attempt, even so far as to sacrificing hundreds of lives, both human and non-human within the Kingdom of Drangleic. This would not last however, when the king revealed what Aldia has done on most of his subjects, mainly experimenting on their souls and flesh. This outcasted him into his keep forever, but not before realizing the curse upon the world and its source. This would eventually give him knowledge on the “immortality” he seeked and he succeeded on his goal where his brother failed. By splitting his soul from the curse, this would remove him from the cycles humanity was sealed into, thus, giving him complete freedom, but with a cost: his form would be inhuman, no longer recognizable. Now, he wonders the world, with nothing more but his conscience present.
  • Aldia’s presence in the Pantheon was not forseen by many, as he was awaiting his time to appear after many events leading to him simply watching the series of conundrums caused by the various gods. Realizing that he has a chance to reveal himself, he successfully presented himself with an explosion followed by a rising temple covered in roots and fire. Those who heard the explosion thought it was nothing more as the sounds of war, but for the Bearer of the Curse, this meant one thing: Aldia has secured a position into Pantheon proper.
  • His opinion on the Pantheon is: pretty mixed. While he may find very interesting deities to study and perhaps trust with, his bitterness would increase thanks to the abundance of terrible kings, order-obssessed megalomaniacs and immortality addicts. Not to mention the Status Quo that is the Death Is Cheap situation in the Pantheon, which gave him memories of what he has endured in his former life.
  • Thanks to him succeeding in his objective of immortality, he has been a heavy source of interest towards most Immortality Seekers. Among those who wants to achieve it is none other than the representative of the title herself, Alex Wesker. Despite this however, Aldia has warned her of the immediate costs taking her goal to the extreme. Considering she is as mad as Albert Wesker, this warning has been ignored, and as a result, Aldia has kept quiet towards her.
    Aldia: “Humans, undead, we all seek a very important goal in life, yet this one, the depravity of this one, is of uniqueness. Unique as to possessing little to no dignity, like the monarchs of today’s age.”
  • Because of his experience of dukedom, and his rather terrible relationship with his brother who was a king no less, he has a terrible opinion on the House of Royalty. He sees the house, despite its grandeur and authority figures to be corrupt and doomed to fall. Afterall, he did see kingdoms of old rise and fall due to the Undead Curse, and he saw many kings desperately finding ways to eliminate it, only for their actions to only accelerate their downfall.
    • His biggest criticisms however roared on two specific subhouses: The Monarchs and Royalty: Other subhouse. The former has a different variety of kings which gave Aldia angry tones everytime he spoke out their flaws, which is too many to count. The latter however is where Gwyn resided, and he has a really, really angry reception towards the Lord of Cinder.
    • On the Monarchs subhouse, he criticised many of the so-called “Kings” that reigned over the house. For instance, his opinion with Tommen Baratheon is left with disappointment when heard that he was never a true King to begin with, while on the other hand, his opinions on Ramses II, Sonia and the Queen of Hearts being members of Royalty has left him in bitterment considering they are in one way tyrannical or worse, outright killers. Then there are people he considers to be too complacent to fit the role as a king, such as the likes of King Hippo and Padmé Amidala. His voice would later rise upon seeing King Allant and Artoria Pendragon, who he sees to be the most incompetent Kings he has ever seen, perhaps more than his brother Vendrick.
      • His opinion on Allant stems on the fact that he is the polar opposite of Gwyn, as in element wise and actual person-wise. This is because the Allant currently present was never the real King Allant to begin and is more or less a demon counterpart to him. On Artoria’s side, he has beefs towards how she is less of a king, especially compared to her male counterpart Arthur Pendragon when it comes to ruling an actual kingdom with actual people and not some plane of existance of “Servants”. This got worse when he heard of her dependance towards a human being and their “mana regeneration”, a.k.a having sex, putting a final nail to any good opinion on her. The last one stems from the fact that King Vendrick was approached by a Queen Nashandra, who is actually a fragment of Manus, Father of the Abyss, that slowly corrupted his brother, to the point that when he realised his mistakes, he would later fail on his objective to save his kingdom. He believes Shirou is no better than Nashandra, especially since he is just a human and never someone who was truly powerful to begin with.
    Aldia: “As ages come and go, the monarchs of this very house has dwindled into swindling cocoons of degeneracy and loss. One bathes himself into a realm of demonhood, another revels into the forbidden romance of two worlds. Its as if the term ‘monarch’ would be thrown, trampled into a state of loss of meaning to such a word of grandeur, such as their lies.”
  • Has massive amounts of respect towards the Dai Gurren Brigade and for good reason, they truly did fight against fate by GIGAAA DRILLL BREAAAAK-ing the Anti-Spiral into oblivion. If anything, he believes the Giga Drill Break can put a stop to the curse, though he wonders what happens if they try to Giga Drill him, considering he is completely separated from the cycles.
  • Has finally found true kinship in the form of the Bearer of the Curse, mainly because he finally stood up against all odds to reach the Throne of Want. This also goes without saying that some sources indicate Aldia may or may not have influenced The Bearer of the Curse to leave the Throne or claim it, all while presenting another option (albeit, something that is impossible, maybe).
  • The Maiden in Black finds Aldia to be confusing, if not, irrepairable to her domain. When asked if Aldia can still be brought back, she could only say a Little "No", believing that whatever Aldia has done to his soul, by splitting it away from his humanity, can no longer be brought back. Hearing this, Aldia responded with sentiment on his part.
    Aldia: “So, you control the souls of the people. As if they were people in the first place. If only you knew what they have gone through. Perhaps the Darksign would appeal to you, fair maiden.”
  • Out of all people who would accept him, surprisingly, it was Eirin Yagokoro who visited him with utmost respect, stating that he accomplished something she also managed to accomplish with the Hourai Exilir (I.E splitting the soul from the body). However, upon hearing his methods of how he got his immortality, she would later question the Scholar if all he did was without a cost, and even offered him a sip of her exilir to maybe give him a better fate. The Scholar rejected her offer and said that in the end, without his efforts, he would have never unearthed and rightfully watched a kingdom of lies burn. She also doesn’t like him for attempting to use human guinea pigs, as shown in his Keep.
  • His status as being nigh-immortal has earned him respectability from Grenth and Murky due to both being able to get by death very easy. Grenth in particular likes Aldia and as such is willing to guide him throughout the Pantheon. However, that cannot be said to Dhuum, who hates him with complete malice due to opposing the laws of death. Despite this however, Dhuum has one thing to say to Aldia in regards to his immortality.
    Dhuum: Death will always find a way you whelp!
  • Hates, hates, hates liars, for attempting to keep the secrets of humanity away and using such deviances to keep the truth of the Darksign. For this he was at odds at another Lord of Lies, Lesser Evil Belial. Sure Belial may have power to kill him, if Aldia wasn’t immortal in the first place.
  • When news spread of what happened to Aldia when it came to searching for the truth, The Ancestor saw very similar remarks to their fate. The Ancestor did the very same thing Aldia tried to do and shed some truth to both of them, with Aldia realizing the link of the curse, and the Ancestor forseeing the Heart of Darkness. This made an uncanny comparison to the point of actually creeped alot out.
  • If anyone is close to Aldia’s hate towards Gwyn, YHVH would be that deity he hates. His presence gave the Scholar furious rants on his lies and his obsessive order. He believes that YHVH is the epitome of liars, those who promise a paradise for Humanity only to use them as puppets for his rule. The Absolute Lawmaker however is disgusted with the Scholar of the First Sin, considering that a human managed to attain a power that Gods are truly meant to rule, thus resulting into a clash between the two.
    YHVH: “Human beings and their pettiness. Why would you deserve a power dedicated to the true Messiah? You are no god!”
    Aldia: “The answer lies not on the person himself, as I have learned, but on what they have achieved from what I have endured upon. Kingdoms rise and fall, as if the world was a cycle, tendered by lies and deceit of hope, where no king was safe from a curse.”
    YHVH: “Mindless mortal! How dare you desecrate my rule?! My promises are kept to those who follow my orders, my men are proof of such and-”
    Aldia: “Men are props to the stage of life. And no matter how tender, how exquisite, A Lie will remain a Lie!”
    YHVH: “I SAID SILE-”
    • This however indirectly placed him into the so-called Forever War that the Pantheon has seeped himself into. Thus leading him to encounter not just the Grand Leader of the GUAL, but the leaders of the GUAE, GUAG, GUAC and GUAD. Eventually he would be forced to believe that even the GUAM exists, even though he never encountered such beings of sentience. Though his opinion on the war would be a sigh of mediocrity since he believes the war is no more but a recreating of the cycles and the fact that the war may have no victor at all.
      • His encounter with Lucifer is something he would take note of when it comes to shaping humanity. While both do agree humans have the right to freedom, Aldia has been under the edge of his patience when it came to Lucifer talking about his ideals. His ideals are if anything twisted and can border worse than Gwyn or the Abyss, losing his respect in the process. Though the embodiment of Chaos would later mention that Aldia did some atrocious stuff in his keep, mainly experimenting with thousands of animals, humans, and eventually a dragon’s soul.
      • At the heart of the GUAG, Cosmos is unsure how to think of Aldia considering on a moral scale, Aldia was pretty much fighting for something truthful, but his methods are if anything, unethical and completely borderline harsh. She also sympathizes to him about his fate saying that in the end, he was just trying to escape the worst of the cycles, though he doesn’t mind.
      • Nekron however holds the heaviest grudge towards Aldia, and this is the same equal hatred he would step his foot under Eirin Yagokoro. Mainly because of his immortality, this denies him the control of the Scholar with a Black Lantern Ring, rendering another undying soul away from his grasp. The Scholar would later comment how Nekron serves as a reminder of how cruel death can be, and he admittedly says it is better to be hollow than be a servant to the Undead Master.
      • Melkor however wants to bring Aldia into the GUAE, considering whatever he has done towards Gwyn, he can do so to other kingdoms of age. He declined however and stated that Gwyn’s Kingdom was “of something worth” than whatever kingdoms Melkor wanted to overthrow.
    Melkor: “Believe me as I say this but I believe you can fit right into our ser-”
    Aldia: “Alliance, of servants?. As like the Lord of Light took humanity as servants, I have no intention of serving this Forever War, tis nothing more but of a mere cycle once more”
  • In regards to the God-Emperor of Mankind however, there wasn’t much infighting between the two but they both have different ideals of what humanity should be. For one, Emps consider the type of humanity he imagined to be filled to the brim with peace, achieving perfection to their own degree, with golden muscular abs and really good fucking hair. Aldia, much like how Magnus heard of it the first time, thought it was nothing more but pure idealistic thinking, instead stating that humanity should and always be free, without the need of control. They did fully agree that in many cases, humanity is free and has their own form, unlike a certain king who wiped it all away.
  • On the topic of Gwyn however, the Scholar has spoken how he is furious towards what the Lord of Cinder has done to the aspect of “humanity”, or to be more specific, creating the Darksign, destroying the true human essence of humanity into the Age of Fire. He has spoken how he vehemently wants to watch his kingdom fall badly to the point that he will personally handle him down on a one-on-one fight. Aldia’s wish would slowly come true and as a result gloated in front of Gwyn’s temple, citing him to be a majestic coward of Royalty who wanted to maintain his own form of order.
    • On the other hand, Gwyn has massive hatred for Aldia, for being possibly the very first person to defy his rule, and revealing to the rest of the world his atrocities towards humanity, merging them to a cycle that was never asked for in the first place. Then there is the fact that he may have influenced a certain prince from not linking the flame, resulting to the fall of his world.
  • Note: Because of Aldia’s current condition, the bounderies of the Pantheon’s rules regarding death no longer connects to Aldia and is such one of the very few to alter their status in the Pantheon, alongside Murky and Grenth.
  • "Many monarchs have come and gone. One drowned in poison, another succumbed to flame. Still another slumbers in a realm of ice. Not one of them stood here, as you do now. You conqueror of adversities. Give us your answer."

There is no path. Beyond the scope of light, beyond the reach of dark… what could possibly await us? And yet, we seek it, insatiably. Such is our fate…

  • Shiori is an ordinary high school girl who attends Morimiya Academy in the fictional Mormiya City in Japan. She has been Kou Tokisaka's Childhood Friend for a very long time ever since they were little kids, and their interactions between each other shows that they have a strong relationship. She loves reading books, and she frequently stops by Kou's house on occasion to maintain it while his parents are working overseas. While Shiori has been a victim to the Eclipse and the Greeds a couple of times, for the most part, she stays out of the X.R.C.'s business and doesn't try to meddle with them any further outside of giving advice to Kou.
  • However, that is only surface level. In reality, Shiori died ten years ago in the Tokyo Twilight Disaster, and the current Shiori Kou had been interacting with is actually a remnant of the Twilight Apostle; the most powerful mythological Grim Greed in existence. In a desperate plea to remain with Kou, the Twilight Apostle merged with Shiori to create the illusion that she had been alive this whole time. Kou and the X.R.C. didn't know about this until the Final Chapter, when Shiori's true form; the Princess of Doom, awakens and plunges all of Morimiya City into an Eclipse called Pandora's Box. Kou and the X.R.C. were able to infiltrate her labyrinth and defeated her after a long battle, but since this undid the illusion she had set up, Shiori fades out of existence since canonically, she was considered still dead.
  • Shiori ascended into the Pantheon after the real Shiori was brought Back from the Dead by the legendary Nine-Tailed Fox; a divine deity with the ability to grant miracles. Since her Pandora's Box Eclipse has the potential to bring about a great disaster, the Grand United Alliance of Destruction has sought her out, and she clearly is distressed about this.
  • Both Asuka Hiiragi and Mitsuki Hokuto were relieved that not only that she ascended to the Pantheon, she also was brought back as the original Shiori.
  • Was pitied by Velvet Crowe, as she too ended up being a monster trough tragic circumstances, and their desires to be with their loved ones once more, and the fact that they intended to perform some nasty actions for good reason.
  • Gets along well with most of the house of Friends and Companions, especially Kairi, since they were both childhood friends to their respective heroes (Kou Tokisaka, Sora).
    • Speaking of friends, when she heard of an Hiiragi around the House of Twins, she wondered what this Hiiragi has a relationship with Asuka Hiiragi. While she didn't have an relationship with Asuka at all, Yuzu Hiiragi did manage to get along well with her, and she feels sorry for Shiori, given her Princess of Doom role she played had been similar to Yuya's predicament of being part of Z-Arc. She's currently trying to help her move on from those days.
  • Being an Princess of Doom, this has put some sore spots on Jean-Grey, after seeing what she had done back when she was mortal, along with the incident above. While she understands why she was like that, the fact that it endangered more people by putting them more at risk from the Greeds has not gone over well with her, and thus opposes Shiori. She finds this as an acceptable punishment for her actions.
  • Mana Ouma sympathizes with her, given that both of them became unintentional Apocalypse Maidens and almost brought The End of the World as We Know It because of that. Shiori, in turn, pitied her because unlike her, Mana never got a chance to come back and instead became a destructive vessal for Da'ath's plans. However, she has yet to become friends with her due to her fears that the Apocalypse Virus residing in her might make her too volatile. That and the whole incest thing.

The Vibe Scepter is now in the Treasury.

[up][up][up] Perhaps something involving Garnet? Her creation was basically the result of Ruby screwing destiny and saving Sapphire, leading not only to Sapphire's Future Vision steering itself onto a new timeline, but the accidental saving of the Crystal Gems, who were fated to be captured following Sapphire's demise. Garnet's Future Vision also allows her to view multiple futures and their branching paths, unlike Sapphire's, which only shows her one linear path. Besides that, [tup].
