Welcome to the Trope Pantheons thread! Please read the rules:
- When writing a profile, take note of the following:
- Gods cannot be followers or high priests for obvious reasons. The 'gods' have ascended meaning there is no need for said character to be a follower of another if they have ascended.
- No hype profiles, please. 'Hype Profiles' are profiles that have been made out of ongoing events and have not been around for a long time. This creates 'hype' due to popularity and certain elements either through certain scenes, memes, dramatic acting or considered overly awesome. They are not bad tropes but building a portfolio solely for that is a bad idea, as they do not say a thing about representing the trope best (unless it's those trope concepts that they are trying to embody for a long time)
- You can see one if the profile is only showing off how awesome they are or suddenly pushing how 'significant' they are thanks to the just very recent events rather than respecting the longstanding good representations of the trope. And usually having... minimum portfolio or flavor texts and being a bit too generalized or self-contained to events from within their home series instead of interacting with other Pantheon members.
- When posting in the forum, take note of the following:
- When you suggest a God, please explain why they fit the trope. Not everyone is going to understand just "X should be the God of Y because they exemplify the trope" off the bat, especially if they're unfamiliar with the work.
- You must use the Trope Pantheons discussion thread in the forums if you wish to add a new deity, story, something else of importance to the Trope Pantheon canon, or reworking an existing deity (be it simply improving their existing profile or changing their title).
- For new and reworked deities, 3 means the profile will have a one week waiting period.
- For new and reworked deities, 4 is a 3 day waiting period.
- 5 is an automatic ascension for new and reworked deities.
- Speaking of reworks, for anyone that wants to improve such profiles, they have to review the current trope the character(s) has and see if it still holds up or if there is a better rep for their trope.
- For adding new Treasures to The Great Treasury or new Dominions to the Dominions, the following rules apply:
- For new Treasures or Dominions, 3 is a 3 day waiting period.
- 4 is an automatic addition to the Great Treasury or Dominions.
- Do not repost a profile in the forums more than twice in a day if noticeable changes have not been made in between. If a profile is posted a third time in a row without noticeable alterations, it will be downvoted. This is so spamming of no-effort profiles is less frequent and to prevent tropers from getting aggravated seeing the same profile over and over. The minimum acceptable change has to be a single flavour text.
- The Pantheon is not a mouthpiece for you to voice your opinions on certain characters. You may like certain characters more than others, but do not make the mistake of making profiles for characters you like look like Character Shilling.
- Tropers new to the Pantheon are barred from approving or downvoting profiles until they have ascended at least two profiles.
- Do not include fan reception in any profiles. It has nothing to do with the character themselves and will create unnecessary conflict.
- Write a detailed explanation on why the character is the best candidate for deity of that trope. If people disagree with you, do not force it on the people.
- Keep in mind that if you still want to try to find a trope for a particular character, you are only given three chances to find a particular trope for them. If a suggestion goes past three possible tropes, then it will come off as shoehorning a character into the Pantheon just for the sake of that character to be there.
- On a related note, even if a character does have a free trope being suggested, there is still a limit of three attempts for suggesting that character for that trope. If no one responds to that certain proposal after being posted three times, then it will get to the point where the idea will be seen as being shoehorned into the Pantheon. In addition, the idea needs to be considered acceptable and approved because they are good, not for the sake of pitying others because no one is responding to their idea.
- When posting Pantheon related stuff to the wiki, take note of the following:
- Do not put a link to these Pantheon pages into the main wiki page. The moment you want to add in a main Characters page that the character is a God of this trope, do not do it. If you see leftovers of this practice, inform the forum and use the cutlist. This also goes to the Trivia page. The only exception to this rule is if a page in the Pantheon could be confused for a page in Main, like Good Colors, Evil Colors and Good and Evil Colors.
- Rule of Cautious Editing Judgment ALSO applies here. Do not bring things that would incite fights, even if it is what is currently the hot topic and might be 'urgent'. For example, the political scene and some really bad politicians. We are not here to fight at each other, so don't suggest things that go to that direction, this is a fictional Pantheon after all.
- To add a Pantheon page for a certain work, 4 or more characters coming from the same series/franchise should be ascended before adding the page. For Creator specific pages, 4 deities coming from the same creator and 2 individual work pages coming from the same creator is the minimum to warrant a page.
- Do not create a trope page for a story until the story is fully completed.
- Preparing to write:
- First thing to do before present a profile is to go to the Trope Pantheons discussion thread. In the forums, you must discuss with other users on adding ideas and seek their approval with sound reasoning. You can also get some assistance in the forum thread by either asking for help and those interested asking if they can help. Submissions that are added without discussion are likely to be deleted and those who violate those rules by adding Pantheon content without discussion will get reported to the mods.
- If you feel the need to remove a character for some reason (poor quality, outdated titles, etcetera) and replace him/her with another or outright rework, please see what the other tropers think about this in the discussion thread before doing anything hasty. Use good reasoning to see if your idea can easily replace the character present without drawing out your statement or giving too ambiguous claims most do not understand.
- Please be sure to consult others in the discussion about what you want to work before making the profile. This is done to see if your proposal is the best representative and so, in case your profile is turned down, you do not waste time writing something that others might not find suitable.
- In the same vein, if you adopt a profile from another troper, it is recommended that you make an announcement that you have done so on the discussion thread. More often than not, a trope that was reserved for something was given away to someone else. Check the Related tab on the top of a page to see if a trope or character has been reserved by a user.
- If, for whatever reason, you are writing about a God who just happens to be a person in real life, just try to be very careful about what you decide to say. Do not try to make the editing seem too meta (self-referential) and use the aformentioned creativity to create hypothetical scenarios towards fictional characters.
- When writing a profile for a character, here are a few things to note:
- All deities should be sorted by their divine ranking. Put Overdeities on the top of the page and Quasideities on the bottom. Also be sure to add them in alphabetical order by their first/given name (can be reversed if it is Eastern ordered). For a group, if there is no official name for them all list down all their names by order of relevance or (if too long to list) title them as Insert Name Here Main Characters or some other identifiable title along the same lines.
- The maximum number of tropes that a god can have is two, but do not try to abuse that fact. If you need to use a second trope to specify a certain thing about their position, that can be excused either because said character represents their trope choice very well alongside the first trope. It is still generally encouraged to only have one trope.
- A trope can only belong to one profile at a time. The only time two profiles can share a trope is if there are explicit variations listed in the trope page proper (e.g. Muscle Angst is held by both Biscuit Krueger and Chihiro Fujisaki as the former represents "Too Much Muscle" and the latter represents "Not Enough Muscle")
- If the character you are about to add to a House already exists in another, make sure to mention that this person has spots in other House as well. Up to 2 places can be made for a deity, with the sole exceptions being those at the Main House to highlight those characters’ importance to the Pantheon’s lore.
- For a character's theme song, try to avoid calling it "Theme of God X" or "Theme of (Show where God X originates from)". If possible, try to find out if the song has an actual name through research. Most importantly, it has to be part their series’ official soundtracks from media. Do not list songs that are made by fans or outside sources. If they were not specifically used as music for that specific character, then they do not count. Furthermore, it has to be a general theme specifically made for that characters’ appearances, not some generic music that plays for many other instances not related to the character in question.
- For images, when adding an image for your chosen character, it is highly recommended to use a stylized image that embodies the character or renders that also highlights a character’s behavior (such as cool poses). Most images should be from the main adaptations of the character, unless the images from the other media are of a higher quality than the adaptation. Unless it is needed, do not use fanart for images. If you are, please attribute to the original artist. Due to the website’s dark mode, removing white backgrounds from an image is paramount. This website is suggested to do the background removal. If an image you have takes up too much bytes, it is suggestible to use this site to reduce the byte size. If the byte is still too big, put the compressed image to other sites (or even the same one) to compress even further. Use wikias to look for better images, as even wikias for the series might not contain good official images.
- Creativity is your friend. While it is not recommended to get too ditzy at your ideas, it is best that when writing a profile for a certain character, do you think of capable scenarios between X and Y. Tip: do not use shallow examples (X wields a sword and Y wields one too) and try to think of relationships that makes sense (i.e those characters that are shout-outs for another).
- Pantheon Content:
- Some series or genres will eventually have greater representation in the Pantheon than others. This is unavoidable, but a little diversity helps to make you not look like a shill per say. Try to ensure that if you add a deity from a popular series, make sure that it is because they are a good representative for the trope in question, and not just because they are connected to another deity in their respective canon.
- As far as deities from actual mythologies, there is generally expectation to build the profiles off interactions from fictional portrays rather than basing it entire from the actual myth. Therefore, a mythological deity should be more of a Composite Character whose main identity is from the actual myth.
- Occasionally there will be Gods that carry a title without a trope. This is not forbidden, but it is well advised not to abuse them. The only house that a tropeless profile are wholly allowed is the House of Food. Mainly due to most food items lacking tropes, and adding tropes about said foodstuffs is slightly unnecessary. However, the character being ascended for their choice of a food, or food-related thing must be a decently good representative of said item. (i.e their Trademark Favorite Food, or something that they are closely associated with In-Universe, or both).
- For Dominions and Treasures profiles, always consider what made those places/objects popular in the first place. Were they plot-important, identifiable imagery or have a unique aspect of it? Do not just bring regular objects under the basis of following a certain canon.
- Some series or genres will eventually have greater representation in the Pantheon than others. This is unavoidable, but a little diversity helps to make you not look like a shill per say. Try to ensure that if you add a deity from a popular series, make sure that it is because they are a good representative for the trope in question, and not just because they are connected to another deity in their respective canon.
- For Profile Standards:
- Flavor text is used to describe certain things about a character, place or object. To avoid short ones, it is recommended to write flavor text with 4-7 sentences that can fill around 2 lines each. Be warned that adding too many sentences does not equal good flavor text as it is not an essay of sorts (unless words are substantial and do add to the overall line).
- Character Profiles of a certain person should have the following:
- A portfolio that contains at least 7 (at the minimum) tropes describing their character.
- Flavor text count for a deity profile should have by minimum, 10 (depending if the character in question has enough relationships/characterization) to 15 with a maximum of 20-25 for an individual profile.
- On the other hand, group profiles (profiles of a group that has 4 or more members) have their maximum flavor text count to 15 minimum, giving individual lines for the other members of the group (unless the members are not as characterized) up to 30 at max.
- Dominion profiles of a certain place should have the following:
- A portfolio that contains at least 5 (at the minimum) tropes describing the context of the place.
- Flavor text count should range at least 10 to 15.
- Treasure profiles (inanimate objects without a trope) should have the following:
- A portfolio that contains at least 6 (at the minimum) tropes that describes the object itself.
- Flavor text count should be at least 7 flavor text up to 12 to constitute a treasure profile.
- Overdeity: Omnipotent-level Reality Warpers capable of manipulating the entire universe (or at least the world) at will. Within their own universe they are believed to be omnipotent, or at least impossible-to-completely-destroy embodiments or concepts.
- Greater Gods: High-level Reality Warpers and that are extremely powerful (capable of destroying or changing anywhere from a large city to a planet at will) and very strong non-reality warpers capable of doing the same thing.
- Intermediate Gods: Deities at this level are capable of strong but specialized powers such as hydrokinesis, pyrokinesis, etc. without major drawbacks and low level Reality Warpers capable of affecting their immediate area at will.
- Lesser Gods: Capable of highly specific or little power on their own, or suffer from Power at a Price. However, they may be able to ruthlessly exploit their power or combine it with just being badass enough to make up for it.
- Demigods: Basically the Badass Normals of the pantheon, making up for their lack of abilities with strength, strategy, and/or planning.
- Quasideities: Any otherwise normal human, human equivalent, or below without any special powers or training will fall here.
God X, God/dess of (Insert Trope Here) (Alternate names/Nicknames, Fan Nickname)
- An image, if possible. Please use official art or a screenshot for a picture.
- Rank: This can range from Quasideity, Demigod, Lesser God, Intermediate God, Greater God, to Overdeity, based on representation of power mentioned above.
- Symbol: An image or icon used to represent the deity.
- Theme Song: Official song (in other words, no fan music, regardless of quality) that usually is used in affiliation with the character. If the deity is a musician this will most likely be their Signature Song. If possible, give a link for reference, preferably on either a website like Soundcloud or YouTube.
- Alignment: Good, evil, neutral etc. Forget about The Great Character Alignment Debate here, the Pantheon is one of the few places where you can assign Dungeons & Dragons alignment to characters that don't have alignment system. After all, the Pantheon is based on D&D and is made for fun.
- For Pokémon deities only:
- Gender: Defines the gender of the Pokémon; if genderless, it instead defines what gender they identify as.
- Ability: Provides the Pokémon's ability. If they can Mega Evolve, the new ability is listed as well.
- Moves: Defines the four moves used by a Pokémon. A Z-Move may also be listed.
- Portfolio: Tropes associated with the character.
- Domains: Things that the character has influence over.
- Herald: Non-ascended loyal character that is from the same series as the ascended character.
- High Priest: Non-ascended like heralds, but not from the same series, and can serve as a worthy replacement in case something would happen. They can be served as part-time workers in case the originals are busy with some jobs. Co-Godhood is accepted depending on the approval of the originals, usually if the co-deity is from the same series.
- Followers: Non-ascended characters that are not part of the Pantheon, but would probably worship this character by the fact that they share the ascended character's trope.
- Relationships between ascended characters go here with your chosen character, it goes something like this:
- Allies: Members of the Pantheon that are allies, those that share the same values as them and would theoretically be friends with them.
- Rivals: Members of the Pantheon that are rivals, people who may look at your character with suspicion or a challenge.
- Enemies: Members of the Pantheon that are foes, those who would see your chosen character as a threat, either on their pespective or yours.
- Additional Character Relationships: Members of the Pantheon that do not fit in various relationships (examples include Enemy Mine, Vitriolic Best Buds, Teeth-Clenched Teamwork, Headbutting Heroes, Friendly Enemy, Friendly Rival, Just Friends, etc.), allies, rivals, or enemies.
- Partner: Defines a partnership with an ascended deity and Mon-type. (if any)
- Feared by/Fears: A deity whom the members of the Pantheon notably fear or are feared by.
- Respected by/Respects: A deity whom the members of the Pantheon respect or are respected by.
- Opposed by/Opposes: Not necessarily the same as "Enemies", but this is used for any deity whom the members of the Pantheon directly opposes or is opposed by (basically the opposite of "Respects") terms of certain viewpoints, regardless of alignment.
- Pitied by/Pities: A deity whom the members of the Pantheon feel pity for or are found pitiable by.
- Conflicting Opinion: Sometimes, the Deities argue over specific themes and philosophies.
- Add the Intro. The intro is made up of two trivia, the Ascension Text (or just the Ascension) and The Bio. Both are necessary, but which order you use for them may vary depending on the profile in question. It may be better for one profile to have The Bio first and the Ascension second or vice-versa, although for the most part the order is irrelevant:
- The Ascension Text: This the story of how the character got into the Pantheon and/or was ascended. There are many ways for this to happen. They may be tricked into it or have simply wandered into the Pantheon, they may have had an already ascended character bring them in, they may already be in the Pantheon (via being another deity's Herald or sharing a trope) and got "promoted", or some combination of the above. Anything is possible in the Pantheon, so use your imagination, but try to incorporate their trope into the story, if possible.
- The Bio: A brief synopsis on the character's backstory. No need for the character's entire life/production history, but just give enough that those who don't know the character can get an idea of how the character works.
- Now add some random trivia/facts about events/alignments/moments/fights/friendships/relations etc.
- And some more trivia/facts.
- And a couple of more.
- Note: Standard amount of flavor text for Deities/Characters is 10-15 (15-20 for group profiles) at minimum to 20-25 (30 for group profiles) at maximum.
Template for Dominions profiles:
Place X, Place of (Insert Trope Here) (Alternate names/Nicknames, Fan Nickname)
- An image, if possible. Please use official art or a screenshot for a picture.
- Theme Song (Optional): Not important as compared to Deity and Dominion profiles but a notable mention if there is an accompanying song in use with the object.
- Alignment: Refers to the dominion's role in their story, be it those used by villains or used by the Player Character.
- Portfolio: Tropes associated with the dominion.
- Domains: Things that the place has links to.
- Relationships (Optional): Unless the location has a connection with a specific deity, relationships are optional and may not be required. However, if there are deities linked to the same series as where the dominion is linked to, note them using the relationships, this includes deities that theoretically have interest with said dominion, good or evil otherwise.
- Add the Intro. Here the introduction of the Dominion is added with some tidbits regarding the origins of its' creation and usage in the story. You can also add what made it popular/iconic/important here.
- Now add some random trivia/facts about events/alignments/moments/fights/friendships/relations etc.
- 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.

- DC Universe: Clark Kent/Superman, Bruce Wayne/Batman, Arthur Curry/Aquaman, John Henry Irons/Steel, Diana of Themyscira/Wonder Woman, Virgil Hawkins/Static and Jefferson Pierce/Black Lightning, Terry McGinnis.
- Other Allies: The Inklings, Steven Universe, Heather Brown/Spinnerette.
- Teeth-Clenched Teamwork With: Venom.
- Enemies:
- Opposes: Felicia Hardy/Black Cat.
- Opposed by: J. Jonah Jameson (only as Spider-Man similar to his mentor Peter Parker).
- In a different universe existed a young teen named Miles Morales who looked up to his world's Peter Paker as a hero. He never imagined himself being a Spider-Man just like his hero until Peter was sadly killed in battle with Norman Osborn. Being bitten just like Peter, the young teen decided to accept the mantle as the Ultimate Universe's new Spider-Man.
- Unlike the 616 Peter Parker or even his 1610 counterpart Miles wasn't as famous at the beginning of his new heroic life. Even managing to fire off webbing was a difficult task for him to do along with the other inexperiences he has in fighting crime while keeping his identity secret from the public. Unfortunately for Miles his universe soon fell apart during a huge universal event leaving his homeworld in a state that he couldn't stay in. Still, the new Spider-Man had found his way into the 616 universe where he continues to fight evil before heading to school.
- While having a similar arrangement of moves to Peter there are some differences with Miles such as his Venom Strike that is a powerful electrical blast capable of hurting symbiotes like Venom living up to the namesake along with becoming invisible to the naked eye.
- Peter was more than ecstatic upon seeing his friend at least ascend into the Pantheon calling up his "Avenging" buddies for a huge celebration. After crying tears of joy at knowing his mentor was proud of the man, he'd grown into Miles told him all sorts of stories about his young crime-fighting career.
- Gwen Stacy of Earth-65 was also thrilled to see a fellow Spider-Man here while he wondered how she might feel about their current relationship considering the last time they were together before Morlun and the Inheritors were causing trouble they actually had kissed. Gwen felt it was better if they were friends for now, but couldn't deny that they might end up in a "tree" again someday.
- Several of Spider-Man's rogues' gallery was not happy about the new Spider-Man entering the Pantheon. Among them, Norman and Fisk were at the top of Miles' list for the acts they committed in his universe along with the Green Goblin killed his world's Peter or in a different reality it was actually Kingpin himself. As for the Black Cat, while she claims to have turned over a new leaf, his past encounters with the former "Kingpin" left him in doubt about her being anything but a selfish criminal.
- Miles also knew about the other superheroine named "Spinnerette" in the Pantheon, since unlike the alternate version of Mary Jane Watson Heather Brown was more willing to hurt criminals rather than keep them in "good health" like Peter or Miles. Still, the duo was indeed on the same side of fighting against injustice meaning he was willing to trust in her to have the same responsibility all spider-heroes do.
- Kamala and Cho wondered how long it was gonna take for their friend to arrive, since they wanted to assemble more of the Champions team. Also, the three of them couldn't wait to read more fanfics Kamala would create about the many crossovers they all could have in the several houses of the Pantheon.
- Of course, the Marvel universe weren't the only ones ecstatic about Miles Morales as Virgil Hawkins/Static and Jefferson Pierce/Black Lightning wondered how good this new spider was as he had several things in common the DC heroes like themselves.
- The symbiote isn't happy whenever Miles is around not only for having a problem with both the substance and some of its hosts but also due to the signature move used by this Spider-Man being named after it. It might be the reason why it never could bond with Miles Morales.
- Terry McGinnis felt like Miles was a kindred spirit to himself considering his own relationship with Bruce and taking up the mantle of Batman in his time period, even if he found Miles to still have a lot to learn in his superhero career like himself. As for Miles, his dream to one day hang out with the rest of the Batfamily was something the future Batman couldn't help but smile at.
- Steven loves Miles and his own version of the Spider-Man outfit finding the colors to be quite spectacular. Also, the reincarnated Rose Quartz had to get used to learning about his own powers and abilities just like the Ultimate Spider-Man.
- He gets along quite well with the Inklings as they both love to spray around colored paint, but Miles prefers tagging some houses with graffiti artwork over using a paint roller.
- "I'm Miles Morales, Spider-Man. And I've never been more sure of my power. But I've never been more confused about my responsibility".

In another few hours, the sun will rise."God of God of Learning New Powers?"
You might want to fix the title before you ascend him.
Hello, my baby. Hello, my honey. Hello, my ragtime gal.What more should be added to Nappa?
I am hilarious and you will quote everything i say
Nappa, God of Deaths Caused by Failure (Ghost Nappa, Grand Vizier Nappa, Mr. Clean, Vegeta's Dumbass Friend)
- Votes: 1(The Wikia Editor)
- Adopted from: Fasoman 1996
- Potential House: Manners of Death
- Lesser God (Greater God as a Super Saiyan)
- Symbol: His armor and blue scouter
- Alignment: Neutral Evil. Chaotic Neutral off-duty and as a Hollywood Producer, Lawful Good in one of MasakoX's popular what ifs
- Portfolio: Alas, Poor Villain, Arrogant Kung-Fu Guy, Ax-Crazy, Bald Brutes, Blood Knight, Slayer Of Heroes, Dumb Muscle, Hair-Trigger Temper, Somewhat Of An Honorable Side, Worked With Vegeta Since He Was A Kid, Psychopathic Manchild, Villainous Friendship
- Domains: Aliens, Strength, Death, Brutality, Conquering, Loyalty
- Allies: Raditz, King Kong, Lord Hater and Commander Peeps
- Off-duty: Mr Satan
- Odd respect: Guts (definitely one-sided on his part), Ishida Mitsurani
- Enemies:
- From the Dragon Ball Universe: The Z Warriors and their allies (Especially Yamcha, Krillin, Piccolo, Gohan and Kakarot), Android 21, Turles, Bardock, Frieza
- Other Enemies: The House of Betrayal, Caesar, Sun Wukong, Winston, Jason Todd, Kenshiro
- Opposed by: The House of Heroes
- Worthy Opponent: Undyne
- Complicated Relationships: Vegeta
- Nappa is one of the few remaining saiyans that survived the destruction of his home planet by the Galactic Emperor Lord Frieza and later served as the partner of the surviving prince of all Saiyans, Vegeta. Both him, Vegeta and another low-class saiyan warrior named Raditz served Frieza in their universal conquering, but it all changed when Raditz was seemingly killed in planet earth after he went to check on his younger brother's mission of conquering Earth. After hearing about the Dragon Balls and their ability to grant wishes, Vegeta and Nappa travelled to Earth to use their power. It was there when Nappa showed his ruthlessness, being responsible for the deaths of four members of the Z Warriors and would have finished off the remaining two had it not for Goku arriving in time and defeating Nappa. Said failure was what ultimately caused Nappa's demise at the hands of Vegeta.
- Among the deities from the Dragon Ball Universe, Nappa is unique in the sense that his personality changes radically whenever he is on duty or not. Usually when not working, he is said to be a bit more childish and dumb, prone to make stupid statements and doing things that would give people an aneurysm for how dumb he acts. He also became a Hollywood producer and the manager of Mister Satan after he got revived by the Earth Dragon Balls since he was technically killed by one of Frieza's men.
- Though there isn't much of him beyond being The Brute, Nappa has a strong sense of camaraderie and honor, highlighting how Vegeta was evil even by Saiyan standards. Ironically, Vegeta would be the one to find redemption. As such, he hates the House of Betrayal, believing Saiyans need to stick together.
- Having been killed by the man he was nothing but loyal to, he understood where Guts' pain from, and sympathized the horror he had to go down with the Eclipse. Guts doesn't reciprocate this even for a second. He also thought he might get along with Jason Todd given they're both dead sidekicks, but he just saw Nappa as another supervillain.
- Seems to get along with Lord Hater and Commander Peeps as not only are they funny, they represent bonds between villains like he used to have with Vegeta and finds their relationship kind of heartwarming. He seems to also respect Ishida Mitsurani's loyalty, as it reminds him of his own, and hopes he doesn't suffer his fate.
- Those from the Steven Universe universe notice he's similar to Jasper, given their brute status and serving with a short, prideful commander. Steven wants to see Nappa redeem himself because of his performance as one in another timeline. Nappa would rather stick with the belief that Evil Feels Good, but he has been convinced to fully defect against Frieza rather than begrudgingly serve under him so as to get revenge on Vegeta. He's trying his best to convince Raditz to do the same.
- His relationship with Vegeta has become quite complicated. Nappa was completely loyal, and while he was NOT a good man being disposed after serving as a lifetime companion elicited some sympathy. He wants to get back at Vegeta for that, and tried in one continuity...to minimal effect. However he's lost without him, and the two enjoy let's plays together.
- A notable Hero Killer, having taken out most of the Z-Fighters at the time. He's proud of this status, which leads the House of Heroes to not be friendly towards him at all. Kenshiro certainly doesn't like his kind, which Nappa relishes the challenge. He's found a more open opponent in Undyne, who loves herself a challenge.
- Capable of transforming into a Great Ape in the full moon as his tail is still intact, and if some video game material is evidence he has learned to control himself in this state. He's managed to do this in the Trope Pantheon, and enjoys duking it out with King Kong. King Kong seems to enjoy it. He isn't on good terms with most of the other apes due to his evil nature.
- Fears the Doom Slayer. Someone shoulda told Nappa as to why Doomguy's temple was made from a Titan's skull. So when Nappa went full on Great Ape mode...it didn't end too well for the Saiyan.
- Some have wondered what he'd even look like as a Super Saiyan. Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 revealed he doesn't grow hair, but his eyebrows and goatee do become gold. And in Super Saiyan 3 mode, he grows an impressive spiky golden beard. He achieved this from his rage at being a Butt-Monkey and suffering from Can't Catch Up in Dragonball Fighter Z, being a weakling even to Yamcha. And because Gotenks set him off for not being able to achieve Super Saiyan.
He looks good

Mileena MadnessSo does Cool Kid-and-Loser Friendship work For Drake and Josh?
So considering that Kingdom Hearts III will be released in within a week, I would like to make a proposal. No spoiling the game, or reworking the profiles of any/all characters in the game for a couple weeks following its release.
True but I'm not taking any chances.
Edited by Bazzardreturns on Jan 22nd 2019 at 3:49:27 AM
Time to explore the world!Fine by me, go right ahead.
I thought that was general policy anyway, oh well, I don't plan on spoiling anything.
Reposting Pai Chan... again.

- s: 1 (fasoman1996)
- Lesser Goddess
- Symbol: Her Polygonal Face◊ from Virtua Fighter 1
- Theme Song: Star From H.K. or alternatively, Ai ga tarinai ze
- Alignment: Neutral Good
- Portfolio: Graceful Fighting, She-Fu, Stance System, Anime Chinese Girl, Action Girl, Braids of Action, Odango Hair, Lady of War, Frequently boasts about the strength of her Kung-Fu, Is determined to defeat her father, and prove herself worthy of carrying on his legacy
- Domain(s): Combat, Fighting, Training, Action films

- Enemies: Dural, M. Bison, Heihachi Mishima, Sigma
- 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.
First draft of the Spooky Scary Skeletons
The Dancing Skeletons, Deities of Dancing Undead and Xylobones
- House: TBA (House of Music) and Unliving Beings (House of Undead)
- Demigods
- Symbol: Femurs hitting ribcages
- Alignment: True Neutral
- Portfolio: Dem Bones, Mime and Music-Only Cartoon, Just Want To Have Fun Though Some Are Pricks, The Dead Can Dance, Xylophones for Walking Bones, Uses Their Bones As Instruments, Rubber Hose Bones, Mickey Mousing
- Domains: Cartoons, Skeletons, Comedy, Dancing, Music, Bones
- Allies: Jack Skellington, Sans and Papyrus, Lord Death, Death(Regular Show), Hector, Brook, Karthus, Amigo, Lord Raptor, Marceline Abadeer
- On good terms with: Night-related deities (Princess Luna, Nightmare Moon, Selene, Nox)
- Enemies: Nekron and the Grand United Alliance of Destruction, The Grand Duke of Owls, Dhuum, Chernabog
- Avoids: Deities who control the day
- During the day, the dead stay in their graves. But during the night, the skeletons get out of their grave and dance. They can use their bones in playful manners, most notably ribcages as makeshift xylophones. These spooky scary skeletons were the first of the Silly Symphonies.
- Though they appeared in a short and never spoke, their charm and merriment was an iconic moment in animation. It's actually a reference to the danse macabre. They were very happy to learn there was another skeletal entertainer, Brook, in the House of Music. The skeletons now serve as Brook's back-up singers.
- Stand up for the argument that "dead lives matter" and Dark Is Not Evil. They work to give the undead a better name, and perform for living deities that enter. Sans and Papyrus consider them to be really fun and have joined them in the dance. Only during the night however, as during the day they sleep.
- As they are only active during the night, they avoid any day-related deity. Instead, they prefer to be under the cover of night and moon-related deities. The big exception to this is Chernabog, who's own views on ghoulish entertainment is corruption and acts of evil. He betrays the night, in their eyes.
- They don't like Nekron, and Nekron doesn't like them. Nekron is of the belief that death is a silence and peace that all must undergo, and finds the Dancing Skeletons to be an insult to death. The Dancing Skeletons in turn see Nekron as a cosmic killjoy who gives the undead a bad name, and they don't want everyone to die. They are afraid his herald might control them with his Black Lantern powers, though even Black Hand sometimes joins in with their merriment. He actually seems to like them.
- Some of the evil undead do get along with the Dancing Skeletons, such as Lord Raptor who loves rocking out with them. Of course, this could be because some of the skeletons are assholes like one who used a cat as a violin. Karthus' positive attributes are shown whenever he hangs out with them, treating them with the upmost respect. Sometimes they get to come to Pentakill concerts.
- Jack Skellington was the exact kind of "skele-bro" they were fond of. He's an excellent host, and they feel at home in Halloweentown. Unlike Nekron, reapers Lord Death and the Death of Regular Show enjoyed them. Dhuum, on the other hand, hates the fact that they're undead and don't just stay in their graves like everyone who died is supposed to(according to him, of course).
- Don't like owls, as they tend to spook them. One of them threw their skull at an owl to get it to quit hooing. The Grand Duke of Owls spooked many of them, and while they do like the idea of a night that never ends they don't like the idea of an evil owl bringing it forth.
- Marceline has joined in their fun, and introduced rock and roll. Being from 1929 it wasn't something they knew about, but it was something that really caught on with them. As did Amigo, who livened up the place. Jack O'Lantern tried to get in, but they had already sided with Jack Skellington and opposed his efforts. Also, his pranks were pretty cruel, though some of them thought they were Actually Pretty Funny.
Repost for the Bogeyman.
The Bogeyman, God of Things That Go "Bump" in the Night (The Boogerman, Bugbear, Bug-a-boo, The Sack/Bag Man, El Coco, Babau, Butzemann, and numerous other spellings, names, and titles all over the world)
- Potential House: Fear
- Rank: Nobody Knows, and Nobody Wants To
- Symbol: A large sack, a closet, the darkness underneath a bed.
- Theme Song: Things That Go Bump In The Night and Hush, Hush, Hush, Here Comes the Bogeyman
- Alignment: Chaotic Neutral (merely an approximation based on his variable and inconsistent behavior)
- Portfolio: Our Monsters Are Different/Weird, Anthropomorphic Personification, Karmic Trickster, Peek-a-Bogeyman, Sometimes Eating Children, The Unseen, All Fear Tropes
- Domains: Fear, Paranoia, Closets, Beds, Darkness
- Allies: Considers all deities who feel and/or cause fear to be his allies, whether directly or indirectly.
- Enemies: Has no personal enemies on his part. Everyone who feels and/or causes fear is his ally, and as far as he's concerned, those few that don't are beneath his notice.
- Friendly Rival: Diablo (at least as friendly as Diablo can be)
- Respected by: Five Nights at Freddy's animatronics, and most beings in the house of Otherness and Fear
- Fears: Chuck Norris
- Complicated Relationship with: Pitch Black and Oogie Boogie
- Opposed by: Mike Wazowski and James P. Sullivan and the the Ghostbusters, Casper the Friendly Ghost, Alice Liddell
- (Usually) Opposes: Evil and Chaotic-aligned children.
- The Bogeyman has been a part of the pantheon since the very beginning, but no one realized because he had another deity, Balanar, representing him at first. For presently unknown reasons, he has chosen to dispose of Balanar and make his presence known directly.
- One of, if not the, most mysterious beings to exist in the pantheon. Very little is definitely known about him. Everyone who has ever seen him has a different idea of what he looks like. Billy and Mandy claim he looks like a green goblin man while The Powerpuff Girls claim he's a blue humanoid who likes dancing. Some say that he's a coward who can be beaten by pouring salt on his tail and others still claim that none of these are correct, and the truth is something else entirely. One thing is for certain, though: If you've been told that the only thing there is to fear is fear itself, then you've been told to fear him.
- No one knows what his temple looks like. No one wants to know.
- Some youths have said they've seen the Boogeyman in their bedrooms, usually hiding in the closet or under their beds. They have described being forced to use a flashlight to ward him off as he tried to enter their home through various means, including the window, the bedroom door, the ventilation (a skill rumored to have been acquired by studying the FNAF deities), and, of course, the closet and under the bed. Some children have even mysteriously disappeared, only to be found the next day, shaken and traumatized, and either unwilling to or incapable of describing what happened. Mike and Sully are highly against this, as at its best it's what Monsters Inc was doing wrong, except done maliciously rather than because they thought they had to. They've recruited the Ghostbusters to help them put a stop to it.
- Has also begun hiding underneath parked cars, waiting to slash the ankles of people unfortunate enough to own the automobile before dragging them down underneath the car. Why he does this and what he does to his unlucky victims is unknown.
- Despite all this, he is every bit as likely to simply appear out of nowhere, scream, and laugh as his victim(s) run away at his terrifying appearance. He is the trope namer, after all.
- Works well with other fear icons, such as Freddie Krueger and Michael Myers. The FNAF deities respect him, as their methods are similar, to the point that some have theorized that he was somehow responsible for their creation. Spooky practically worships the ground he walks on (assuming he walks on the ground), seeing as how he's the scary monster.
- Speaking of which, he gets along with most monsters in the pantheon, regardless of their alignment. Even Mike and Sully feel like they have to respect him even as they are opposed to him. Indeed, he's appreciated by most deities in the house of Otherness, as he represents the fear of the unknown that makes most of them scary. One notable exception is Casper the Friendly Ghost, who sees that same fear as the main obstacle in harmony between disparate beings.
- Alice is opposed to him because she holds that he takes the very thing she presides over, the power of imagination, and twists it into something loathsome. The Bogeyman is unconcerned about her animosity, despite the fact that she theoretically has incredible power over him, but did feel the need to clarify one thing she was mistaken about.
"I do not 'twist imagination' in any way. I am part of it, as it is part of me. Fear is the price of imagination. I exist to ensure that debt is paid."
- Diablo, who feeds off fear, tried to associate himself with the Bogeyman, even offering him a spot among "The Satanic Spirits of Pure Evil" seeing as he's sometimes used as a metaphor for The Devil. The Bug-a-boo wasn't really interested in joining, as, despite often doing terrible, horrific things, he's far too ambiguous to qualify as "Pure Evil". Both respect each other as powerful representations of fear, but secretly have disdain for the other's preferred methods. Diablo believes the Bogeyman is too indirect and focused, while the bugbear feels he's too obvious and destructive, though neither is a slouch in the other's department. Of course, what neither one realizes is that these opposing methods make them the perfect team. They don't work together often, but when they do, run.
- One of the few aspects of his personality that remains relatively consistent is that he enjoys punishing children who are naughty. What he considers "naughty" can be variable, ranging from the genuinely sinister to those who are disobedient for good reasons. His punishments are equally erratic, sometimes simply scaring them silly, and other times gobbling them up. Why he does this is, like most things about him, unknown.
- Some deities have alleged to have spotted him (well, they assume it's him, anyway) as a man carrying around a large sack or bag. No one who's seen him this way has had the heart to ask the Man with the Sack/Bag what's inside it, but they do all note that it's always just big enough to hold a number of small children...
- He is not in any way related to the God of Level Creation.
- No one's sure what his relationships with Pitch Black and Oogie Boogie are. Are they rivals, partners, the same individual using different forms? Nobody knows for sure, and none of them is inclined to talk.
- Once received a request to fight in the Pantheon Wrestling Federation. He showed up, frightening everyone, revealing that they had mistaken him for someone else. Needless to say, they never made that mistake ever again.
- Although he doesn't particularly mind being called any of his myriad of names, one should take heed not to call him "Boogerman" in reference to a certain videogame character. Earthworm Jim made that mistake once, thinking he wouldn't know. It didn't end well. The Bogeyman always knows.
- Is only afraid of one deity in the entire pantheon. When the Bogeyman goes to sleep at night, he checks under his bed for Chuck Norris.

I think Duscord could have God of Chaos since he is a great being he does cause chaos around him. And he has too to live. He does have teo tropes, but i thought the other fit him better.

Hmmm...good point. Never thought of that. Could be a mutual respect. Game recognizes game, after all.

The One Who Crosses The Sky In Flames But is the Bogeyman a fan of Stephen King, or is it the other way around...?
Doing this profile has been a ton of fun! The Bogeyman has been so interesting to learn about and write for. What you have to realize is, he's not just a scary generic monster, he's the (getting to bold and italicize a bunch of words because I think it makes the profile look scarier has also been really entertaining) scary generic monster. If you look, you'll find that there's a version or functional equivalent to him in every culture known to man. This has the effect of making him somehow both extremely vague, yet extremely straightforward, perhaps even because of his extraordinary vagueness. To call him a "man" is obviously wrong, but it would be equally wrong to call him a "creature". He's not good or evil, because to give him any sort of defined motivation, any defined anything, would undermine what he represents, a being that serves to represent not just fear, but the unknown that fuels it all. That, my friends, is the Bogeyman. So ends my rant.
And yes, mutual respect does sound right for Stephen King. That's... that's what I was originally planning to say... guess I derailed somehow...

Bigfoot, Sasquatch, and Yeti is a trope that i doubt can be covered in one profile so at least three profiles can be mode of the trope.
