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 PokĂ©mon deities only:
    • Gender: Defines the gender of the PokĂ©mon; if genderless, it instead defines what gender they identify as.
    • Ability: Provides the PokĂ©mon's ability. If they can Mega Evolve, the new ability is listed as well.
    • Moves: Defines the four moves used by a PokĂ©mon. 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.

Standard repost of Winterbolt

King Winterbolt, God of Usurping Santa

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/evil_king_winterbolt.jpg
  • Votes: 2(Mizerous, fasoman1996)
  • Date of ascension: 26 January(repost 23 January)
  • House: Celebration
  • Intermediate God
  • Symbol: His scepter
  • Alignment: Neutral Evil
  • Portfolio: Evil Is Deathly Cold, Knight of Cerebus, The Most Despicable Rankin/Bass Foe, Seeks To Take Santa's Place As Ruler Of The North Pole, Big Bad, Beard of Evil, Master Of Blizzards And Cold, Former Magical Lord Of The North Pole, Faux Affably Evil, Transflormation
  • Domains: Cold, Evil, The North Pole, Magic, Cruelty
  • Allies: Princess Morbucks, Melkor, Mad King Thorn, Jack O'Lantern, Turles, Oogie Boogie, Jadis, Kaldr
  • Enemies: All non-evil members of the House of Celebration (especially all versions of Santa), everyone who saved Christmas, Rudolph, The Miser Brothers, Olaf, Elsa, Jack Frost, Aslan, Treebeard, Trevenant, Exdeath, Ice King, Finn and Jake
  • Opposed by: Scrooges and grinches who turn over a new leaf
  • Avoids: The House of Fire and Heat
  • Before Santa Claus, Winterbolt ruled the North Pole with an iron fist. He was defeated by the Northern Lights who cast him into a deep sleep, only to wake up centuries later when Santa Claus had become the new head of the North Pole. Infuriated, Winterbolt sought to cast Santa down and usurp his place to get what was to him his rightful position as king once more.
  • Of the Rankin-Bass villains, he stands out as the most irredeemable and ruthless. Never being reformed or being remotely sympathetic, Winterbolt would pull strings to try and ruin Rudolph's life by tricking him into using his nose for evil, and is willing to kill Frosty. He is opposed by anyone who loves Christmas.
  • Hates all versions of Santa Claus and anyone working with him. He doesn't even like Robot Santa Claus, though this is mainly because Robot Santa Claus doesn't take kindly to those who'd threaten other Santas. He also considers Ebeneezer Scrooge and the Grinch to be failures since they turned over a new leaf rather than continuing to be Christmas villains.
  • When first hearing about Jack Skellington, he though he might be a potential ally. However it was clear Jack only wanted to "help" Christmas in his own way and wasn't evil. Jack Skellington opposed him for wanting to destroy Christmas and take out Santa, adding another holiday that Winterbolt doesn't like.
  • Oogie Boogies had a very different view on Winterbolt. Wanting to take over the different holidays and bring back Bug Day, Winterbolt was the perfect ally for his war on the holidays. The two have joined to destroy all the holidays and Winterbolt can become ruler of the North Pole once more.
  • His newfound opposition towards Jack Skellington has got him the favor of Mad King Thorn and Jack O'Lantern, in hopes of expanding their evil across the holidays. Turles was jubilant to see a fellow foe of Santa, and the two also joined forces. He saw Princess Morbuck's attempt to usurp Santa, and has allied with her for it. And Melkor, being the irredeemable Satanic Archetype he is, liked Winterbolt for what he represented and an ice-themed evil sorcerer works for him.
  • Spends most of his time in the House of Water And Ice, the cold making him feel at home. There, he would meet up with Kaldr. His goals of spreading cold and ice throughout the world was something that really appealed to him. As did Jadis' "winter without a Christmas". Gotten a number of heroic ice characters like Queen Elsa and Olaf on his shit-list.
  • Winterbolt's ultimate fate was to be turned into a tree, after his scepter was destroyed. He has come to hate all tree folk for this traumatizing experience, regardless of alignment. He isn't too fond of anything related to fire and heat either, given his wintry powers.
  • Sought to trick the Ice King into doing his bidding and spread blizzards everywhere, along with trying to steal the Ice Crown. Finn and Jake realized what was going on, and consider him a much wickeder version of Ice King even at his worst. Winterbolt is ignorant of its true dark power, or recent events that have changed Simon Petrikov and the crown.

In addition, I would like to know what you guys think of these sub-houses

@Clovis: [tup] for the Houses, except 9S, because he isn't exactly cheating. The hacking he does is completely in-game.

@Wikia: That sounds good. What do the rest of you tropers think? Not What It Looks Like for A2, or Full-Frontal Assault?

The GUAG Superhero Division has a new addition among its ranks: A superheroine by the name of Spinnerette!

Miles Morales better have some content pertaining to her. I hope.

Repost for Hourman.
Rex Tyler, God of Super Serums (Hourman, Tick-Tock, The Man of The Hour)

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/4c59b562e5cb18c6667102c4c3480d82_golden_age_superhero.jpg
  • Potential House: Sources Of Power
  • Rank: Quasideity, Lesser God when using Miraclo.
  • Symbol: The hourglass he wears around his neck.
  • Alignment: Neutral Good, though his behavior can lean towards Chaotic Good when under the influence of Miraclo.
  • Portfolio: Associated with Miraclo Going somewhat crazy, Heroism Addict, Nigh-Invulnerability, Super-Strength, Not associated with Miraclo being mostly a biochemist whilst being capable of building androids and Artificial Intelligence, not spending enough time with his son, being a Self-Made Man who married a famous movie actress despite being timid and reserved
  • Domains: Super Serums, Addiction
  • Herald: His son and successor, Rick Tyler.
  • High Priest: Cloak and Dagger
  • Followers: Captain Trips, Theseus, Rion, the Gummi Bears
  • Allies: Nabu/Doctor Fate, Aztar/The Spectre, Clark Kent/Superman, Bruce Wayne/Batman, Barry Allen/The Flash, The Doctor, Emmett L. Brown, Kotetsu T. Kaburagi/Wild Tiger, Jack Harkness, Sherlock Holmes, J'onn J'onnz/Martian Manhunter, all Good-aligned machine deities.
  • Rivals: Popeye
  • Enemies: Leonard Snart/Captain Cold, Dr. Victor Fries/Mr. Freeze, Professor Hojo
  • Good Counterpart to: Bane
  • Mutual Respect: Ruby Rose
  • Respected/Pitied by: Steve Rogers/Captain America
  • Opposes: Addiction of any kind, the Grand United Alliance of Machines
  • One day, a mysterious ship came hurtling out of nowhere. A team was sent to investigate. They found a man coming out of the wreckage. When they asked who he was, he said, "My name is Rex Tyler. I'm a member of the Justice Society of America". When the Main House learned of who he was and where he got his powers, it didn't take long to find him a suitable place in the pantheon, especially with Captain America advocating for him.
    • Captain America both respects and pities Hourman as he too was bestowed extraordinary abilities by a Super Serum. His are weaker than Hourman's but made up for by being permanent. He feels compassion for the man's past situation.
  • Rex Tyler is a biochemist who developed a compound he called "Miraclo", which he uses to become the superhero, Hourman. This mixture, when ingested, temporarily increases human physical capabilities to superhuman levels. These effects, as his superhero name implies, only last one hour. The side effects of using Miraclo include personality changes and addiction. Prolonged exposure can lead to developing symptoms identical to Leukemia.
  • Though mostly withdrawn from the hero business, he is willing, if reluctant, to come out of retirement and use Miraclo again if necessary. This is especially true if it's to aid his fellow founders of the Justice Society of America, Doctor Fate and The Spectre. It helps that a non-addictive variant has been created.
    • He does like to help The Flash and Batman foil their ice villain's schemes, albeit in a limited capacity. He has some experience fighting cold-themed villains through one of his own enemies, Dr. Joar Mahkent, otherwise known as "Icycle".
  • Having a life fraught with addiction has given Rex Tyler incentive to champion the cause against dependency. He's set up a group to help those suffering from the condition, whether it be drugs, alcohol, magic, etc. None of these things are harmful in and of themselves, but addiction is enough to justify taking them seriously. This has given him the loyalty of anyone with a hatred for history of addiction or their causes. This includes Jack Harkness, who is fairly well-known for his hatred of drug dealers and Sherlock Holmes, who by some accounts has been known for overcoming his drug addiction. Although Rex has acknowledged that the chances of curing some deities are low, either because of the status quo or that the deity in question would lose their status if they were cured, he feels it would be immoral to not at least try.
    • Sees Bane as an ominous reflection of his past struggles.
    • J'onn J'onnz has been seen attending meetings when his cookie addiction gets really bad.
  • Hates Professor Hojo with a passion. Not only does he remind Rex of one of his worst enemies, Doctor Rocco Togg, but Hojo is much much worse. Where Doctor Togg experimented on and created monstrous animals, which is bad, but Professor Hojo experiments on human beings, including his own family members, which is significantly worse.
  • Popeye once tried to see if Rex's Miraclo could match his Spinach. Rex wasn't sure if he should risk using his drug for such a thing, even if it wasn't addictive. Eventually, he acquiesced and they've been seen competing in various physical competitions. Neither has been able to come out on top.
  • In honor of the sacrifice of the third Hourman, Tyler (also called "Ty" or "Matthew"), who was an android who sacrificed himself to erase his death at the hands of the villain Extant, Rex is extremely friendly to all Good-aligned machines, believing all of them to be "as alive as any of us" just as Ty was. In turn, he is strictly opposed to the Grand United Alliance of Machines, who he feels are a stain on everything that Ty always fought for. This has earned him the mutual respect of Ruby Rose, who has expressed similar beliefs.
    • Has had pleasant conversations with The Doctor and Doc Brown on the subject of time travel. Rex isn't the most well-versed in the topic, as he himself is not primarily a time-traveler, but he does have some knowledge through Ty, who most definitely was.
  • Being two superheroes whose powers revolve around a time limit as well as having experience with neglecting their children due to personal issues, Rex and Kotetsu T. Kaburagi get along well.
    [down] I agree. Plus, she's an android, right? I don't think being naked is as significant a character trait when you're not human, even if she is very convincing.

[up][up] You can add something about Heller interaction with Delsin Rowe, since their predecessors are rivals. Delsin himself hasn't ascended yet, but he's present as a follower of Barry Allen/The Flash.

As for A2, I'd personally go with Not What It Looks Like, since it's more significant to her character and story than the fact that she is technically naked, which never even really comes up as far as I'm aware.

[down] I don't think Jubileus and Sheba really qualify for God and Satan Are Both Jerks since neither of their personalities is really known and neither of them is particularly active in their factions' war, the angels and demons in general certainly qualify, but not Jubileus and Sheba. Jubileus is asleep and absent for most of the game, and Sheba has apparently a rather hands-off approach to her rule.

@ The Wikia Editor: You might want to consider the angel bosses of Paradiso for Angelic Abomination, while Jubileus and Sheba can represent Heaven And Hell respectively as they are the heads of such. Alternatively, have the Paradiso bosses get Angelic Abomination, Jubileus and Sheba get God and Satan Are Both Jerks

Repost since I didn't receive any suggestions.

Not finished yet, but here's what I got so far. Trying to think of how to insert Bazzardreturn's suggestion to insert Zaius' interaction with humans raised by animals (such as Tarzan, Mowgli, George of the Jungle, etc.) in his profile.

Doctor Zaius, God of Animals That Assume the Role of Humans

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/zaius_1.jpg
  • House: Anthropomorphic Animals
  • Lesser God
  • Symbol: The Sacred Scrolls and the statue of the Lawgiver
  • Alignment: Lawful Neutral
  • Portfolio: Anti-Villain, Arch-Enemy to George Taylor, Fantastic Racism towards humans because he thinks that they ultimately destroy any environment they settle in, Morally Ambiguous Doctorate
  • Domains: Primates, Knowledge, Bigotry
  • Allies:
  • Enemies: Humans, Barbarella, The MST3K crew (specfically Mike and the robots), King K. Rool
  • Opposes: Grand United Alliance of Destruction
  • Disapproves of: Donkey Kong and his DK Crew, King Louie
  • Respects: Mojo Jojo
  • Fascinated with: King Kong
  • Dr. Zaius is an orangutan politician who serves as the Minister of Science for the Ape Civilization, advancing the knowledge of Ape society while also maintaining the sacred traditions of the Ape religion. Secretly, he is aware of the true origins of simian society, and will stop at nothing to ensure that secret never gets out.
  • Because he’s from a society where apes serve as the superior species and humans are seen as mere animals, he was chosen by the Pantheon to represent Animal Is the New Man. Upon his ascension in the Pantheon, he was shocked to find out that the Pantheon isn’t the same as the society that he is used to. It took him some time to adjust himself to such a new place.
  • The reason behind his hatred towards humans is that he thinks that they ultimately destroy any environment they settle in. His society’s sacred scrolls even warn of "that harbinger of doom — man." He is disgusted to learn about the existence of the Grand United Alliance of Destruction. His ideology puts him at odds with Barbarella given that the latter lives way into the future where Earth has become super-pacifistic and completely shuns war.
  • As far as his encounter with other primate deities go, his reaction varies with each one. He is disappointed with Donkey Kong and the rest of the DK crew as he felt that they are wasting their potential. He also considers King Louie to be a disgrace to the orangutans due to the latter’s obsession with the Red Flower. For obvious reasons, King K, Rool doesn’t like doesn’t like the orangutan the same way he doesn’t like the Kongs.
  • The MST3K crew (specifically Mike and the robots) find themselves at odds with Dr. Zaius as they are reminded of the time they crashed in an Earth ruled entirely by apes (it involved Interspecies Romance by humans and apes to begin with and one of Mike's descendants was involved somehow). One of the apes there was an ape scientist named Bobo (who started off semi-levelheaded, but became more airheaded later on). Zaius didn’t take well on how that planet was destroyed by an atomic bomb as a result of Mike helping the apes repair said bomb.
  • Is a bit annoyed whenever several deities walk by him singing “Doctor Zaius! Doctor Zaius!”

[up] I'd imagine that Zaius would be a bit more at ease around Tarzan, Mowgli and George of the Jungle because they remind him of the humans in his universe.

Also, you could add interactions with Caesar and Koba, since they're (kinda) from his universe.

  • The only daughter of renowned Chinese martial artist Lau Chan, Pai Chan was specially trained by her father in martial arts from a young age. However, while Lau obsessively strove on with his training, Pai's mother worked so hard to support the family that she died of overwork. Devastated by her mother's death, Pai blamed Lau and devoted her time and attention to her training in the hopes of surpassing and beating her father. As an adult, Pai also became a successful movie actress and a leading star in Hong Kong action films. After learning of her father's terminal illness, the two rekindled their relationship and Pai subsequently entered the Fifth World Fighting Tournament to prove that she had the emotional and physical strength to succeed his legacy.
  • Following her ascension, Pai was happy to be reunited with Akira and the two subsequently challenged Ryu and Chun-Li to a two-on-two battle in order to improve their strength.
  • When not training, Pai frequently visits the House of Theater to star in more action movies. During these visits, she often hangs out with Fei-Long, discussing plans to co-star in a movie together.
  • She often trains with Makoto at her temple, having developed a mutual respect due to the fact that Makoto had successfully succeeded her father after his death and managed to elevate her dojo back to it's former glory, something that Pai strives to achieve as well.
  • Pai was not particularly pleased to learn of an alternate universe in which she started off being noticeably less competent. This convinced her further to focus more on her training.
  • She gets along well with Killua Zoldyck, although he's rather weirded out by the fact that she sometimes sounds like his mother. Similarly, both Yoh Asakura and the Heart Catch Pretty Cures were slightly alarmed upon first meeting her due to her voice sounding like Hao and Dark Pretty Cure respectively.
  • During an occasion when she teamed up with X and Zero, Pai expressed an interest in joining the Maverick Hunters, but remarked that she would first have to learn how to use a gun. More recently, she decided to seek out X and Zero in order to receive training in gun use. They decided to assign Axl as her instructor, partly because they found it amusing that he and Pai sounded alike.
  • After participating alongside Akira in a fighting tournament filled with a large variety of powerful and unusual fighters, Pai became acquainted with deities such as Shana, Emilia Justina, Celty Sturluson and Mikoto Misaka. Fascinated by their strength and abilities, she often visits each of them to hang out and have sparring matches.

[down] He didn't like them, but he definitely prefers them over intelligent humans, as he regards those as being naturally inclined towards evil and destruction. As far as he's concerned, at least wild and uncivilized humans can be kept under control.

[up][up] I feel inclined to suggest changing Sheogorath to Order Versus Chaos. He is a chaos god who transforms into the god of order, Jyggalag, who hates everything he creates as Sheogorath and immediately tries to destroy it.
[up] Didn't Zaius hate the humans of his universe?
[down] Would it? They are the same person, after all, and he's already mentioned in the profile as it is.
EDIT: Hmm, actually, now that I've looked into it, they aren't the same being anymore, are they? I guess that wrecks that idea.

[up] Yes, he would, although he'd probably still dislike the fact that they're not quite as docile and primitive as the ones from his universe. Zaius is a bit of a religious fanatic and is utterly convinced that keeping humans primitive and harmless is a divine command in order to prevent their evil from spreading.

[up] I personally still prefer Aesir from Bayonetta, especially since he has more of a personality (several actually, if you count Loki and Loptr, his good and evil halves).

[down] I've been looking for an alternative trope for GOLB, it seems that Obliviously Evil is available, which seems quite fitting for him. I also agree about giving the Paradiso angels Angelic Abomination.

[up][up] Now that I'm reading about Aesir's character, I find myself liking him, too. He seems like he'd be a good foil to YHVH. Where YHVH is an evil God of Order, Aesir is a good God Of Chaos. Where YHVH is a huge believer in The Evils of Free Will, Aesir is the one that actually gave humanity free will. Where YHVH intentionally pits two factions against each other, Aesir serves as the Balance of Good and Evil. I'm sure there's more than that, though.
[up] I'd support the Light of Destruction for Light Is Not Good, though I may be biased, for obvious reasons.

@King Winterbolt: Add Mordecai and Rigby and the different Santa Clauses as enemies, otherwise [tup].

As for GOLB, I'm not sure if he still qualifies for God of Chaos after Betty hijacked his consciousness and didn't have a desire to destroy anything. It seems like GOL Betty is True Neutral now.
