Trope Pantheons Discussion

So... am I clear to accept s for Greg (Open-Minded Parent) and Peridot (Curiosity Causes Conversion)? It's already a season finale, and they have to come up sometime. I will at least hold off on the Diamonds for now.

And Bodyguarding a Badass for Pearl it is.

Speaking of Steven Universe, what's the verdict for The Team Normal? Rework Sokka (current holder for Precision-Guided Boomerang, probably chosen just for one epic feat and it does abandon him somewhere in the finale) or add Connie?

No-s Mode

I'm a Touhou fandom noob, so I could use some feedback, if you please.

• Respected by/Respects:
• Pitied by/Pities:
• Opposes: Bernkastel (for Yukari in particular) and the rest of GUAE Trollkaiger
• Opposed By: Angelia Avallone (Yukari only)
• Conflicting Opinion:
• In the old days of the Pantheon, Yukari Yakumo held the title of Guardian of the Boundaries of Time And Space. However, recent events and changes in the rules required her to move and inherit a different title. Two options have been offered to her: One is The Walls Have Eyes, given her "gaps" give off this look. The other is Thinking Up Portals, as she's known for frequently using her powers over boundaries in this manner. Looking at these options, she thought to her shikigami Ran and her shikigami Chen, and decided to Take a Third Option; the three of them would take up Nested Ownership instead.
  • When the Court asked why, she said to look at Ran and Chen and they would know. They did, and they saw her point. They had been electing to ascend Ran for this title on her own and had debated whether or not Chen should be a co-deity or her herald. But with Yukari deciding to have all three of them for the seat of Nested Ownership, the transfer was easy, and the shikigamis were promptly ascended.
• Applies to all three or two of them:
  • After word spread of an alternate Gensokyo where Odio's influence continued under the name Rage, he has ended up being marked as "enemy of Gensokyo". He "remembers" Ran being among the "champions" that vanquished him, though she likely doesn't remember as the Ran he fought was apparently from long before she became Yukari's shikigami. Speaking of, those events in that game actually left everyone concerned on what Yukari might do, as in that timeline, Yukari starts a war between Gensokyo and the demons of Makai so she can be the unquestioned ruler of Gensokyo [[spoiler:and Makai, and make humans fear youkai again.
    • Yukari holds no comment over all this, though it is admittedly bothersome. However, the idea that Ran's presence^* because she disappears and is sent to the future thanks to Rage is what kept her sort-of straight is kind of amusing. Though it could be also the idea that Yukari being different in that timeline is because she had no better shikigami who can do most of the stuff on her behalf and because of the Minister in that timeline; there's no way she would relegate anything important to a human (who isn't Reimu, or sometimes Marisa; Sanae answers to Kanako and Suwako, Sakuya is loyal only to Remilia Scarlet, Youmu serves Yuyuko…).
• Exclusive to Yukari:
  • Occasionally leaves things in the Hakurei Shrine's donation box when Reimu's not looking, and continues to do so even after she's actually started getting donations in the form of arcade tokens.
  • Sometimes fixes Ran's malfunctions by hitting her with her parasol. Ran herself is okay with this, though [[Aya SHameimaru is somewhat disturbed.
  • Yukari will have you know that "spiriting away" is her thing, and suggests that you use some other term if a person disappears without her involvement.
  • Her ally (most of the time) is Reimu Hakurei, the guardian of the barrier between the human and spirit worlds, who, oddly enough, is just as lazy as Yukari is (sometimes they sleep together when they're not sharing a Spot Of Tea or attempting to shower each other with bullets).
  • After finding out two rather unstable Reality Warpers in form of Setsuko Ohara and Haruhi Suzumiya, Yukari has agreed to guide them to keep their powers in check, even though they're in a different house, because borders between Houses to her are a piece of cake. That is, if she's awake; she knows this kind of task can't be something relegated to her shikigami, though.
  • She and Yuyuko often meet for tea. Presumably just tea.
  • Despite claims to the contrary, Yukari does not consider Mildred Avalonne a threat, and would just get Reimu and Marisa after her if she did anything. Any rivalry is one-sided. Of course, that was before Mildred turned her ways around, and personally apologized to Yukari for all the troubles she caused.
    • However, Yukari has been said to have shown concern over the Witch of Miracles, Bernkastel, because both of them are powerful, reality warping trolls, but she knows that Bern is a complete and total sociopath, and it might be inevitable that they will battle each other someday. Since a battle of Probability versus Boundaries is a fight that can cause division by zero, Yukari has quietly begun hatching a plan to as she puts it "set the probability of Bernkastel's victory over myself to zero". The plan starts with Bernkastel's former self, Rika Furude.
    • Making this plan easier is the discovery that Rika wants her sociopathic Enemy Without gone. Rika has gone as far as to tell Yukari exactly how Bernkastel is formed and how to go about destroying her.
  • Has a train dubbed "The Yukari Express."
  • Her ability to open "gaps" is just a fraction of her repertoire of powers. She can manipulate borders on anything she damn pleases. She decides to just stick to what she's often seen doing so she can sleep more undisturbed and be less involved in everyday drudgery and drama; she has Ran and Chen for handling matters she wants done.
  • Her powers allow her to be one of the biggest Trolls in the Pantheon. From teleporting objects and people around to appearing and dissapearing whenever she likes, she has done a lot to many gods. However, she only does this out of boredom and doesn't mean any serious harm. In fact, she has done some pranks to the Trollkaigers, notably forwards Bernkastel.
• Has gained some interest forwards Airy after hearing that she is called the "Piercer of Boundaries". However, this is not because she sees Airy as a threat, but because she thinks she is a noisy fairy who thinks too much of herself and wants to test if she thinks she can defeat Yukari. After all, everything has a boundary.
• Exclusive to Ran:
  • Will retaliate against any notions that she's a streaker. Unless Yukari orders her to, of course.
• Exclusive to Chen:
  • Not only does she hate water as a cat, it also weakens her shikigami link with Ran, and forces her to revert to an ordinary nekomata.
  • When not under Ran's or Yukari's watch, Chen's often trying to assemble a large number of cats together so they can pledge allegiance to her. It often fails spectacularly.
    • As for cats she's attempted to gather, aside from those who either harbored no interest or went along to see how this would go before eventually leaving her behind, Big often distracts her with offers of fish, Garfield is too lazy, Salem is already under Sabrina Spellman, Luna already serves Sailor Moon, the Cheshire Cat was too elusive, Scourge attempted to attack her and failed, and Tai Lung did the same only for Ran to come to her rescue when he became too much for Chen to handle by herself.

I got the pic straight from the Characters page. Any links to a better Peridot render?

Hope these additions should be satisfactory. Two

• Intermediete Deity as a whole but Tir borders on Greater with the Soul Eater Rune
• Symbol: Toran Castle
• Theme Song: Glorious Island Fortress
• Alignment: Neutral Good in goal but army members span across various alignments
• Portfolio: 108, La Résistance, Recruit Collecting
  • Tir: The Chosen One, Simple Staff, Wise Beyond Their Years, Using The Soul Eater Rune, Magnetic Hero
  • Gremio: Battle Butler, Parental Substitute and Undying Loyalty to Tir, Reluctant Warrior
  • Cleo: Action Girl, The Chick, Magic Knight, Team Mom
  • Pahn: Bare-Fisted Monk, Grumpy Bear, Big Eater, Spirited Competitor
• Domains: Rebellion, War, Runes
• Allies: Lazlo, All heroic Fire Emblem deities, Ramza Beolve, Kamina, Commander Shepard, Firion, Lelouch vi Brittania, Noctis Lucis Caelum, Cloud Strife, Ashe, James Raynor, Luke Skywalker, Leia Organa, Han Solo, Lucas, Ned Stark, Jon Snow, Daenerys Targargyen, Virtuous, Simon Belmont, Buffy Summers, Team Avatar, Wonderful 101, Yen Sid, Dumbledore, Gandalf
• Enemies: Luca Blight, Ultimencia, Shang Tsung, Shinnok, Shao Kahn, Rassilon, Joffrey Baratheon, Caligula, Euron Greyjoy, Cersei Lannister, Charles vi Brittania, Aerys II Targargyen, Tywin Lannister, Steven Armstrong, Prime Minister Honest, Petyr Baelish, Gregor Clegane, Sheev Palpatine, Thanos, Tetsuo, Darkseid, Porky Minch, Liquid Snake, Frieza, Cooler, Helghan Empire, Mateus Palamencia, Kefka Palazzo, Vayne Carudas Solidor, Arydn Izunia, The Night’s King, King Candy, Exdeath, Voldemort, Dracula, Dio Brando, Vanilla Ice
• Opposed by: Mordred
• Conflicting Opinion: Robert Baratheon, Asgore Dreemer
• Setting the record of the largest countable group ever to ascend in the Pantheon under a single trope, the members of the army reunited to march in to claim their position and work together once more.
  • Originally a rebellion group against the Scarlet Moon Empire, the Liberation Army disbanded after the war and many of its members went on to help form the Toran Republic. The 108 Stars of Destiny that comprised Castle Toran were the ones picked for ascension, which sadly means normal units, honorary members, successors, war allies, and even the founder were not able to be brought along.
• Tir, the leader of the army holds the Soul Eater Rune, which makes the user The Ageless. It also grants a ridiculous amount of power to its bearer but at a heavy price. The Soul Eater feeds on the souls of people close to its user, creating situations to make this happens. For this reason, Tir stays a considerable distance from people otherwise he’d repeat the losses he’s suffered because of this.
• Members do not dwell with each other over what happened after the Toran Unification War (especially Leon). They rather choose to work together rather than bicker over events that happened prior, being united out of respect of Tir and Mathiu. Still doesn’t stop some arguments from cropping up from time to time.
• Luca Blight was furious his nemesis’ allies and even his former strategist decided to team up together. He tried bringing Leon back with temptations of riches and power but he wasn’t having any of that.
• Are very good friends with all those from the Fire Emblem multiverse for being able to command armies filled to the brim with colorful characters. Commander Shepard and Kamina also earn their respect and admiration for being to recruit people with their sheer charisma. They also are friends with those who rebel against corrupted governments.
• The Liberation Army were rather alarmed by the sheer number of evil rulers there were in the Pantheon and that they have their work cut out for them in trying to stop whatever evil plan they have next.
• Evil magic users seek the Soul Eater Rune for their own benefit. Voldemort and Ultimencia see it as a way to achieve immortality while Shang Tsung, Shao Khan, and Shinnok see it as the ultimate soul consumer. As much as he wants to part with it, Tir knows what damage they will cause with the rune and isn’t going to let them have it without a fight. He is also wary of those with the Power of the Void such as Exdeath and Vanilla Ice.
• Members who have their own positions in the Pantheon can be seen going back and forth between the army’s headquarters. Viki has spawned randomly throughout the place and a single Jeane can be seen going there.
• Clive is likely the most aloof member because of how hard it was to recruit him in both armies he’s been in.
• Are open to all wise mages thanks to experience. They need all the help they could get after all.
• Arydn and Kefka questioned the group’s effectiveness, saying that if they were so adamant on toppling the current government, they should go after every other neighboring nation afterward. The Liberation Army rebutted by saying that they overthrew the government because they were corrupt and didn’t do so because they wanted to spread chaos across the land unlike they did.
  • Mordred dislikes the army for reminding her of her own doomed rebellion. She has at least some respect for the group for taking out the monarch but her own personal feelings prevent her getting a higher opinion on them.
• They have mixed feelings on Robert Baratheon. While the king has become lazy and negligent to his realm’s problems, he did lead the downfall of a much worse tyrant despite the innocents sacrificed and heinous crimes committed during this. Asgore is a much more lax subject on them but he did slay several surface dwellers for their souls.
• Never speak of vampires in front of them, especially Viktor. Neclord is bad enough but Dracula and Dio are somehow likely worse.
• Despite overthrowing the monarchy, they are perfectly okay with royalty who care for their subjects. After hearing the Civil War of Westeros, the Liberation Army agreed that Jon or Daenerys (maybe both) should take the Iron Throne.
• Yes, they still pay their own merchant members for supplies. Even the commander has to contribute the economy apparently.

Regarding the Diamonds, I agree they should be held off for the time being, but here's some things for when their profile does get started:

• They're Greater Goddesses, though you'd be forgiven for mistaking White as an Overdeity.
• Their entrance should be grand and spectacular. Maybe something involving the Diamond Mech and their Pearls introducing them.
• Their main powers (destabilization, emotion manipulation, and possession, respectively) have little to no effect on normal organic beings, but that doesn't mean they don't have any effect here (for instance, Yellow's electricity could short-circuit robots, and Blue's emotions could get to an Empath).
• Please remember that while they've realized their society is terrible and are going to try fixing it, they're still galactic conquerors and will probably continue to be so until otherwise.
• Something involving people comparing Yellow Diamond to a giraffe because of her long neck, Blue to a Sith lord with her hood up, and White to a light bulb when she glows.
• They're like fifty feet tall and are probably be too proud to shapeshift smaller, so they have a lot of trouble with smaller spaces.

Regarding Greg and Peridot, they're profiles could have a little more meat to them, but they're fine otherwise. Specifically for Peridot though:

• Her render is inaccurate: the stars are incorrectly positioned, her visor is too big and also incorrectly positioned, and her outfit doesn't have a neck.
• There are way too many potholes in her opener. Trim it a bit.
• Her relationship with Zim should be a bit more... vehement? They're both stubborn, easily aggravated aliens with a passion for what they believe in (I think for Zim, anyway). Peridot's insistence that the Tallest are just using him and Zim's insistence on not listening and attempting to take over Earth would annoy the crap out of both of them. I feel like Peridot would also get vibes of her post-limb enhancer, pre-Heel–Face Turn past self out of Zim, irritating her further. Also, is Zim's backpack metal? An interesting scenario could be Peridot chucking Zim and Zim retaliating, leading to a fight that is both cool and kind of stupid.

For Greater Deities the Diamonds surely suffer from Crippling Overspecialization.

Maybe should elaborate on why she has the trope because i have no clue from reading the profile. That is usually a must.

Include Thanos and Dark seid as enemies. With Neo being done by someone else how does Raven Brawen fare with Detachable Blades? It was a major part of her first real battle with Cinder.

@Nightelf: Here's the one the wiki uses◊. It's much more accurate.

Okie dokie then, I have update the Snafu profile and it's looking good so far. Anything else that could be added?

Private Snafu, God of Wartime Cartoons (Snafuperman, The War's Greatest Zero)

• Potential House: Narrative Genres (House of Narrative)
• Demigod
• [] 1 (Nightelf)
• Symbol: The same as his profile image, A smiling face with the words, "PRIVATE SNAFU"
• Theme: "You're a Horse's Ass" (A common five note tune played in many classic cartoons.)
• Alignment: Chaotic Neutral
• Portfolio: Enlisted during World War II, Used to teach soldiers on proper military etiquette, Armed Farces, Big Eater, Can be easily distracted by beautiful women, Kavorka Man, Tends to be a Jerkass, Can lose money very easily, Right Way/Wrong Way Pair, Fun with Acronyms, Became Sanfuperman once, Cannot Keep a Secret
• Domain: Animation, Military, Education, Propaganda, Aseops
• Herald: Technical Fairy First Class
• Allies: All ascended Looney Tunes, Donald Duck, The Three Stooges, Steve Rogers/Captain America, Margaret Carter
• Enemies: All ascended Nazis and Nazi-esque villains (including Red Skull, Gihren Zabi, Wilhelm Strasse, Millennium & Adenoid Hynkel), The House of Toxicity, The Spy
• Opposes: The Yooks and Zooks
• Opposed by: Cole Phelps, Richard Winters, Ronald Spier, John Basilone, General Shepherd, Seita and Setsuko, The other Dr. Seuss deities (Especially The Lorax and Horton), The House of Love (Especially Kyu Sugardust)
• Complicated Relations Walt Disney, Superman
• Confused by: The Kancolle dieties
• Private Snafu enlisted in the United States Army in 1943 and had a stunning military career... suffering one glorious disaster after another at the hands of either his enemies, or by his own incompetence. At the end of the day though it didn't matter, as the dimwitted Private's antics served to educate new army recruits in what NOT to do while enlisted. For that, as well as being among the most recognizable Wartime Cartoon characters, he was brought to the Pantheon to share in a boatload of new adventures... and more blunders to boot.
• When he first ascended, Snafu was welcomed by the Looney Tunes, who also served in the War effort. Bugs Bunny lead the Private to his temple, revealing along the way that he had vouched for his ascension and apologized for the time he snuck into Snafu's handbag during a gas mask drill. Since that first day, Snafu has been welcomed into the Looney Tune inner circle, all sharing their own harrowing and wacky adventures both on and off the front lines.
  • Despite also serving in the war effort, Snafu is wary around the deities of Walt Disney. This may have to do with Walt originally wanting to do the original short films and owning the rights to them in the process. That said, the Private did become a good friend with Donald Duck and the Three Stooges as all five fought in both the European and Pacific theatres.
• Upon ascending, Snafu was accompanied by a strange, cigar chomping pixie; one Technical Fairy First Class. He serves as the Private's Herald and acts as a conscience, helping to teach the valuable lessons needed to survive on the battlefield. Sometimes it works... and sometimes it really, really doesn't.
• Many have asked what the name Snafu exactly means. He's been quiet about it but eventually, after much persuasion, he gave in and confessed. Turns out it's a military code that translates out to "Situation Normal All... All Fouled Up." The same is used for Snafu's two brothers. There's Fubar ^Note  Fucked Up Beyond All Recognition and Tarfu. ^Note  Totally And Royally Fucked Up
• War has changed since 1945 and with it has come a whole new generation of dangerous warriors to tangle with. Snafu though was none the wiser and believes as long as there are Axis forces still lingering about the war is not finished. This mindset did lead him to try and challenge Sundowner to prove that his fighting tools were the best around. It all went downhill from there.
• Unsurprisingly, the ascended Nazis of the Pantheon were not too happy to hear another American soldier had ascended, even if this particular soldier is not the most threatening of the bunch. In fact, all of them have shown the poor Private the ropes and made him look like a complete waste of soldier material. But even as they beat him into the ground, Sanfu has not given up; he'll continue to fight the good fight no matter what.
  • Also unsurprisingly, EVERY single deity of Japanese descent despises Private Snafu due to how they're portrayed in the various shorts. This is especially true with Setsuko, who is not only very patriotic towards the Japanese empire of his time, but also lost his mother in the Allied firebombing of Kobe. His sister Seita, being younger, doesn't share her brother's hatred of Snafu, and finds him to be rather goofy.
• Almost every single American/Allied soldier present in the Pantheon keeps themselves well and faraway from Private Snafu, whom they consider to be a sign of bad luck. Figure such as Richard Winters, Ronald Spier John Basilone, and even Cole Phelps don't want anything to do with him. In fact, the only one who has tried to help out the poor Private is Captain America, who was once considered unfit for service and has a soft spot for the soldiers he fought alongside. As a result, Cap and Agent Carter have been training Snafu in proper military etiquette, in the hopes that one day he will become fit for proper military service. Progress has been slow but it has been made.
  • In regards to the House of War, Snafu is completely outclassed by every other soldier present, almost to the point of mockery. But he's also among the most dangerous, as his incompetence leads to sabotage of equipment and battle plans. General Shepherd has petitioned to have Snafu banned from the house entirely but as he still is a World War II soldier, Snafu is still welcome... provided he's escorted by a more experienced deity.
• While he may not be the smartest soldier in the service, there are times where Sanfu has learned from his mishaps and manages to make it through some of his encounters. It was thanks to his training in the care and use of the gas mask that Snafu survived in the House of Toxicity, much to the ire of the deities there. But he still can't keep a secret to save his life. The last time that happened to him, Snafu ended up be torpedoed to Hell. Literally. As a result, The Spy has a field day trailing the Private around the Pantheon and keeping tabs on every single detail he lets slip.
  • His tendency to let secrets slip is also the reason why Snafu is banned from drinking while on duty. It's for his own good.
• Once, Snafu took up the role of Snafuperman, only to almost bomb the White House, thinking it was Berlin, and attacking an American tank - with George S. Patton inside no less - while under the assumption it was a Japanese tank. The real Superman was not at all impressed, and agreed with the Private on looking over the maps and field manuals for later reference.
• Despite working alongside Dr. Seuss during the war years, even adopting his rhyming speech from time to time, Sanfu's relationship with the author did become strained due to Seuss regretting how he depicted the Japanese in old political cartoons. This also extends to Seuss's own characters, with Horton the Elephant and the Lorax opposing the Private's very strong war stance.
  • Although Snafu supports the service, even he finds the reasoning behind the Yooks and Zooks war to be incredibly ridiculous and chooses to not support either side. Him personally, he butters around the crust.
• Considering how most of them are personifications of naval warships from his time period, Snafu was completely confused by the Deities of Kantai Collection. For their part, the girls keep their distance from the Private, not wanting their battles to be hindered by his incompetence.
• He gets easily distracted by gorgeous women, resulting in being banned from the House of Love altogether by Kyu Sugardust. It also didn't helped that Technical Fairy First Class was trying to hit on her, resulting in both being launched all the way to the House of War during an artillery exercise.

Reposting since I didn't get much of a response.

Any Yanderes in the Pantheon that would freak Bolin out?

Also, can't think of a symbol for Bolin.

Mako, The God Of Not Getting The Girl

• Lesser God
• Symbol: His red scarf
• Alignment: Neutral Good
• Portfolio: Firebender and Lightningbender, Responsible and Aloof Sibling, Fought Together with his brother, Half-Fire Nation, Half-Earth Kingdom, The Cynic, Grouchy with a Good Heart, Only Pairless of the Team But Got Over It
• Domains: Fire, Romance
• Followers: Non-ascended characters that are not part of the Pantheon, but would probably worship this character by the fact that they share the ascended character's trope.
• Allies: Bolin (his brother), Korra, Asami Sato (his ex-girlfriends), Pabu and Naga, Lin Beifong, Tenzin, Aang, Katara, Sokka, Toph Beifong, Zuko, Ling Yao, Greed
• Rivals: Members of the Pantheon that are rivals.
• Enemies: Amon (Legend of Korra), Zaheer
• Opposes: Kuvira
• Mako was a young Firebender growing up in Republic City alongside his brother Bolin. Once a profession bender, he's a cop working in Republic City Police Force with some trouble in romance... and trouble is putting it lightly.
• For clarity, he dated Asami Sato when the two met for the first time (or rather, ran him over first). But he got into sexual tension with Korra, who joined the Fire Ferret team, despite she was at the time went on a date with Bolin. The two got together when thing with him and Asami grew problematic and broke up, but then because of his work, she and Mako broke up. Overall, he decided that he should be a better partner in a future relationship.
  • People will never live down him being a terrible boyfriend. Some even point out that he was so bad that his exes are now a couple.

Bolin, The God of Near-Death Skill Learning (Nuktuk)

• Lesser God
• Symbol: An image or icon used to represent the deity.
• Alignment: Neutral Good
• Portfolio: Earthbender and Lavabender, Big Eater, Cheerful and Foolish Sibling, Fought Together with his brother, Half-Fire Nation, Half-Earth Kingdom, All-Loving Hero, Plucky Comic Relief, The Baby of the Bunch
• Domains: Earth, Lava, Life or Death
• Followers: Non-ascended characters that are not part of the Pantheon, but would probably worship this character by the fact that they share the ascended character's trope.
• Allies: Mako (his brother), Korra, Pabu and Naga, Asami Sato, Lin Beifong, Tenzin, Aang, Katara, Sokka, Zuko, Greed
• Annoying Fanboy of: Toph Beifong
• Rivals: Members of the Pantheon that are rivals.
• Enemies: Amon (Legend of Korra), Zaheer
• Opposes: Kuvira
• Bolin was a young Earthbender growing up in Republic City alongside his brother Mako. Champion profession bender, former mover star, deserter, Bolin fought alongside his brother and Avatar Korra in her adventures.
• During his stay in Baofu, the metal city, he wanted to learn metalbending like his hero Toph with little success in his attempt and even believe that he'll never learn it. When the Red Lotus nearly trapped him, Mako, Asami, and the wounded Tenzin in wave of lava that consumed the Northern Air Temple, he managed to lavabend the flow out of pure desperation.
• He was excited to see Toph in the Pantheon, who is currently in her prime as a youth. Toph often shut herself off from Bolin just so he could stop bothering her, plus she doesn't want to constantly remind herself that he is dating her granddaughter, Opal.
• Due to running away from his "fiancee" Eska, he wanted to avoid many women that are obsessed with love.

I'm not sure if Kyu would do that. In fact, she might try to make him (and his fairy) one of her clients (a war participant sure can attract the ladies, unless they're known for going AWOL),

Only if it's putting himself, her, and her clients in danger would she reconsider, and if it's going to make her less reputable in front of Princess Cadance (there's a rivalry going on between them on the latter's end). And Shining Armor would find Snafu to be a liability just like everyone in the House of War does.

There's always Yuno Gasai for starters.

On other news, I'm still waiting for the Parallel Paradise deities to be ready.

For?

It's not updated yet.

for Private Snafu.

@MVS We have the GUAC Yandere Squad which is a group filled with them. Alignment is all over the place.

Then you have some that are way more evil and not allowed in the group like Nu-13

Changes have been made on my main sandbox.

On an unrelated note, I noticed that Adaptational Wimp has no representative god. If it is alright, I would like to nominate Waspinator for the position.

Reason: In the original Beast Wars toyline, Waspinator is described as being a ruthless Cold Sniper, a threat feared by all Maximals, and also received a Transmetal form◊. In the show though, not only did Waspinator not get a Transmetal form, but is also ineffectual and always gets blasted down, becoming the biggest Butt-Monkey in the series.

I may have found a potential trope for King Cold: Predecessor Villain.

The Broly movie establishes that Cold ran his empire accross the galaxy and then decided to retire and give the position to his son Freeza. The latter needs no introduction and the rest is history.

Here's my revisions of my first two entries:

Basil Karlo, God Of "face" Aliases (Clayface, Matthew "Matt" Hagen, Annie)

• s:# RJ-CLOVIS-93
• Rank: Intermediate God
• Symbol: A can Of Renuyu
• Theme Song: "Man Of Many Faces"
• Alignment: Chaotic Neutral Neutral Good(on a good day) Chaotic Evil(On a bad day)
• Portfolio: Shape-Shifting Clay Creature, Used to be a handsome actor before his mutation, Hating his condition and seeking a cure, Eventually joining the heroes albeit often relapsing into psychotic villainy, Superpowered Evil Side, Creating beings from his body, Large Ham, Anti-Villain(from time to time), Various different incarnations with insanely contradictory origins
• Allies: Cassandra Cain, Sandman, Harvey Dent,
• Enemies: Hawkgirl, Barry Allen, Most of the Justice League,Carl Fredricksen, General Corrupt Corporate Executives.
• Friendly Enemies: Ben Grimm, Hellboy, Victor Stone
• Rivals: Raven Darkholme, Ditto,
• Pities: Gregor Samsa
• Admires: No-Face, Frankenstein's Monster, Eric the Phantom, William Shakespeare
• "Clayface" is more a title than individual, the identity constantly shifting, but that is quite fitting for an amorphous entity. Since Batman's earliest days, the menace of Clayface has haunted him as a terrifying and often tragic figure, from a sociopathic theatre actor, to a deformed, hopelessly lovelorn madman whose touch melts flesh. The most recent incarnation, however, is Basil Karlo, an aspiring actor who sought more versatile roles. When he was disfigured in an accident, he desperately tried Renu, a chemical cosmetic that lets the user mold their features, and was used by his father to create lifelike stop motion. Things went From Bad to Worse, and Basil eventually broke into the abandoned Renu factory when his supply ran out. Caught by Batman and the police, Karlo tumbled into a vat of bizarre substance-and what emerged was a living horror monster, a being of constantly shifting clay who desired nothing more than to return to his glory days, even if he had to bury the bat alive to do it.
• Despite his recent reforming, Basil still has a rocky relationship with Batman and the rest of the Bat-Family. While he is trying to be better, he came close to killing his friend Cassandra recently, and for now sticks to his villainous role.
• Karlo finds a kindred spirit in Flint Marko, the Sandman, as both are humans turned monstrous, Earth-shaking supervillains. They don't usually go on crime sprees together, though, since all that mud and sand gets easily mixed up, and Sandman doesn't want a repeat of the Hydro-Man incident.
• He can often be found perusing the House of theater. Unfortunately he has a habit of impersonating the actors and trying to take over the shows, usually if he thinks he could do better with the material.
• Carl Fredricksen recently had a terrifying encounter with Clayface when he sought some solitude in his floating house. His favorite armchair morphed into the monster and tried to eat him! With help from Hawkgirl(who Clayface fears due to an encounter in another reality), he escaped with his life. Apparently, Karlo mistook him for Roland Daggett, the man who he remembers caused his freakish condition in said reality.
• He doesn't too so hot against ice and cold, which freezes him solid. He's also opposed to every electricity based deity, since that element is what did him in one time.
• Clayface isn't on good terms with the T-800 mk 2 and the Connors since they mistook him for a Skynet machine. He finds this a little ironic, since this wasn't the part he ever imagined playing in a Terminator film.
• Hellboy says that Karlo could be a valuable BPRD agent if he'd just keep his monstrous temper and destructive powers under control. He also gets an oddly familiar vibe from him.
• It's not wise to go over his comic history with him. He once suffered a severe identity crisis from keeping track and split into multiple Clayfaces based on his predecessors. Original Karlo went on a killing spree in the House of Theatre, while Preston and Sondra went on a honeymoon crime spree. Annie took the time to reconnect with Tim Drake and even offered to join the Titans, which went horribly when Basil had to pull himself back together.
• He's gone on record to say Spirited Away is a favorite animated film of his. He's even expressed interest in the part of No-Face for a live-action remake, as they're both Shape-shifting monsters who form an odd-friendship with a certain young girl. No-face for his part isn't flattered, given how well americanized anime remakes usually go, and that Clayface is too much of a hot-tempered loud mouth to play him.

Eva Wei, Goddess of Offspring Revelations (Molly, Little Mouse, The Earth Pilot)

• s: #RJ-CLOVIS-93
• Rank:Demigoddess
• Symbol: Her walkman
• Theme Song: ''Chance To Shine'' by Akino
• Alignment: Neutral Good
• Portfolio: Ace Pilot, Dark and Troubled Past stemming from her mother's death, Seeking to impress her distant father, Badass Normal Plucky Girl, Calling the Old Man Out for not even recognizing her, Unwitting Pawn to an unknown monster, Tragic Hero
• Allies: Samus Aran, D.VA, Jenny X-J9, Dib Membrane, Terry Mcginnis
  • Odd Friendship with: The Edds
• Enemies: Brainiac, Ultron, Pennywise, Darkseid, Thanos, Ridley, Just about any Galactic Conqueror or particularly manipulative Eldritch Abomination, The Trunchbull, Dolores Umbridge
• Pities/Fears: Anakin Skywalker
• In a distant, yet familiar future, the earth was on the brink of war with the Crogs, a bloodthirsty alien race of warriors. The Avatar, the mysterious, seemingly omnipotent being that governs the universe, gave humanity a place in the Great Race of Oban and promised "the Ultimate Prize" to the winning planet. Eva, having grown up in a constrictive boarding school since her mother's tragic racing accident, enlisted with the Earth team and her distant father(the racing manager) under the alias of "Molly". She hoped to use the prize to bring back her mother. Her dad, Don Wei, never realized she was his long distant daughter until the last stretch of the race on Planet Oban. Eva was quick to call him on this, as well as her abandonment. Ultimately, Eva never resurrected her mom, but saved the Universe along with her friends Jordan and Aikka, Jordan taking her intended place as the new Avatar. She is since trying to resume a normal life as herself, and rebuild her relationship with her dad.
• Though her ship, the Whizzing Arrow II, was destroyed in the last stretch of her adventure on Oban, Eva was pleasantly surprised to find an exact replica in her new temple. She often takes it for a spin around the heavens, but even she's a little nervous about trying Rainbow Road.
• Upon hearing accounts of her adventures, Samus was quite disturbed by her description of the monstrous Canaletto, who resembles the Chozo, the species that raised her. She has since promised to personally slay the monster again if he resurfaces. Eva in turn is preparing for the day she faces Ridley, a similar avian beast who slaughtered her new friend's family.
• Impressed with her role in saving the universe, Hana Song has offered Eva a chance to pilot her Mech, but Eva declined, citing she's not a soldier and wants a more stress-free life.
• Dib and Zim once partook in a race she was in. When Dib's recently acquired ship crashed, Eva helped him repair it, though she can't for the life of her understand why he puts up with the A.I's constant snarking and belittling of him for his awkwardness. After all, she also has a dad who was similarly absent from her life and can't even see through a Paper-Thin Disguise, let alone his own daughter's. She doesn't see Zim as much more than a nuisance, but she still respects the Membrane kid and flies to help when the Irken unleashes a deadlier threat. In turn, Dib has offered to be the Whizzing Arrow's new gunner.
• She is on similar good terms with Jenny Wakeman (aka X-J9), who also has a somewhat complicated relationship with her eccentric parent. In a way, she reminds Eva of Ondai, another robot and rival racer who wanted to know what it feels to be a "real" living creature.
• Utterly horrified and saddened by Darth Vader's presence in the pantheon. To Eva, he is a dark reflection of how she could've turned out-a young racer abandoned by his father, and warped into the puppet of a dark entity, almost what Canaletto did to her.
• It's no surprise that Eva utterly loathes Darkseid and Thanos, both monstrous space Tyrants like the Crogs and Cannaletto, as well as horrible fathers, another Berserk Button for her.
• Eva and Terry often share a laugh about their similar lifestyles. Both are teen rebels who lost a parent to a truly vile skull-faced being, both work under a cranky old man with a Hidden Heart of Gold, and face similar hordes of futuristic enemies, both including an inky black Shape-shifter who isn't as evil as first perceived(Inque, Spirit) two cheerfully dangerous clown girls(The Dee-Dees, Ning and Skun), and a pompous crook in white who styles himself as more dashing and aristocratic than he is.(Royal Flush Gang's King, Lord Furter) Terry has also said he'd race with Eva in the Bat-Wing, if Old Man Wayne weren't so opposed to that kind of thing.
• Strangely, she's been seen helping out the Edds with some of their schemes. However, this may be because one of them reminds her of a friend she had to bid goodbye to recently.

@Mizerous Raven works for Detachable Blades. She would also be good for Cool Gate, since her semblance is the creation of them.
The red links need to be fixed, but they otherwise seem to be good profiles so far. Ditto is in Romantic Orientation and Thanos is in Tyrannical Figures. The link for Corrupt Corporate Executives should be done like this: {{Corrupt Corporate Executive}}s.

x4 Like, who actually reads the bio cards?

Faso@ Those movies are pretty much non canon to the DB verse.

Waspinator@ He so well known as the butt monkey of the BW universe.

@Snail You can't post the same profile twice in the same page. Just so you know.

Except Super Broly is 100% canon and it shows that Cold was Freeza took over his dad's empire in the introduction of the film.

Edited by fasoman1996 on Jan 28th 2019 at 3:12:41 PM

x4 I might go with Cool Gate for Raven if no one has that trope.

Edited by Mizerous on Jan 28th 2019 at 1:14:23 PM

I thought you meant old Broly

Edited by WhirlRX on Jan 28th 2019 at 1:14:29 PM

I'm sorry about that. I'm new to this, so let me know if I slip up with these profiles.

Anyway, my next entry will for Conal Cochran, God of Deadly consumer products.

Nah, none of the original Broly movies have anything to do with King Cold, and you said they are not canon. Hell, the reason we couldn't find a trope is that we didn't know how involved he was in the Freeza empire. Turns out he ran the Cold Empire before it was renamed to Freeza.

I'll probably won't work it, i'm just stating that Predecessor Villain could work for him

It's ok, new members tend to not know a few of the forum rules.

Edited by fasoman1996 on Jan 28th 2019 at 3:20:31 PM

I wouldn't worry too much about it. I did the exact same thing. Just try not to do it again. To be honest, I didn't even notice you'd done that, though that probably says more about me than you.
@Mizerous I can confirm that Cool Gate ^note  Everytime I type that, I keep thinking of toothpaste is not taken.

While I am in the opinion that Yellow and Blue are exposed enough they could come into the Pantheon by their own merits, I agree that it's best to hold them back. As well, I think Connie deserves to be The Team Normal god over Sokka, based on the training and results that she got over five seasons; transforming her from a normal, roaming kid into a badass human warrior capable of taking on Gem Monsters without relying on gem powers like the Crystal Gems.

When the time comes though, I think White Diamond and the Perfect Trumpet are going to be locked into a perpetual state of subconscious war over perfection. Also, Asura's going to be pissed off that not one, but three "fool(s) who wants to rule the world" and "forcing others to do what they cannot do for themselves". While he'll be most pissed off at White (possessing people to make them "perfect", being a borderline God of almost all Gemkind, hiding her contempt and anger behind a godlike calmness), he'll keep an eye on Yellow (basically a dictator who follows White's philosophy to impress her, implanting a Cluster that will bust the Earth like the Gohma Vlitra) and Blue (who kidnapped humans for millenia to place them somewhere far away from their home in a loosely similar scenario with the Brahmastra/Karma Fortress).

And as an addendum, White is a Greater God normally, but she's absolutely an Overdeity in the realm of the Gems. Blue's power seems similar enough to the weaponry the Gem Warships use, whereas Yellow's power inspired the forcefield and non-lethal taser technologies.
