Trope Pantheons Discussion

Go To

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

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

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

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

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

    Templates 
Template for adding a new deity:

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

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

Template for Dominions profiles:

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

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

Template for Treasure profiles:

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

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

[up] [tup] for Magellan.

Time for some nominations. Mostly anime this time.

From Black Clover:

  • Asta, God of Being Too Dumb to Fool
    • Potential House: Mindsets (House of Knowledge)
      • It's a noticable characteristic of his due to the fact that he's self-aware about it. As a result, he repeatedly manages to avoid falling for any tricks his enemies try to play on him.
  • Yuno, God of Being Naturally Gifted
    • Potential House: Sources Of Power (House of Power)
      • In contrast to Asta, Yuno is a prodigy at using magic. Many believe that he's got the best shot out of all the rookies at becoming the Wizard King and he's even been blessed with a Four-Leaf Clover Grimoire, a sign of his unnaturally large reserves of mana, his natural talent for magic and (supposedly) endowing him with good luck.
  • Noelle Silva, Goddess of Offsprings Blamed For Mother's Death In Childbirth
    • Potential House: Offsprings (House of Family)
      • She was subjected to harsh treatment by her surviving family due to her mother's death, with Nozel even lamenting that Noelle didn't die in place of their mother. The fact that Noelle was born and grew up unable to properly control her own magic, no doubt intensified this lingering resentment and belief already held by her family.

From Cat's Eye:

  • Cat's Eye, Goddesses of Calling Cards
    • Potential House: Thieves (House of Crime)
      • The sisters are so self-confident that they sign their thefts before they even commit them. Basically, their modus operandi is to announce their forthcoming passage by leaving a Calling Card.

Yeah, it's allowed since the trope makes distinction between three different flavors; the Pokemon represent Type C (coincidence) while the Mega Man characters represent Type A (allies).

Added stuff to Sgt Byrd. What more stuff should I add to him?

Sgt. James Byrd, God of Flying Flightless Birds

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/reignited_sgt_byrd.png
  • Adopted from: fasoman1996
  • Potential House: Birds (House of Beast)
  • Lesser God
  • Symbol: His helmet and BAM Rocket Launchers
  • Theme Song: Sgt. Byrd's Theme
  • Alignment: Lawful Good
  • Portfolio: Authority Equals Asskicking, Everything Is Better With Penguins, Flying Penguins, Death from Above, Glass Cannon, Uses rockets as his main form of attack, Officer and a Gentleman, The Stoic
  • Domains: Penguins, Flying, Soldiers, Birds, War
  • Allies: Spyro, Sparx, Hunter and Bianca, Agent 9, Crash Bandicoot, The Madagascar Penguins, James Bond, Tinkerbell, Caesar, Suguha Kirigaya
  • Enemies: Ripto, Gnasty Gnorc, Malefor, Neo Cortex, Napoleon, Lord Fredrik, Acnologia, Denzel Crocker, Dag
  • Opposes: Moneybags, Salamence
  • Sgt. James Byrd is the leader of Hummingbirds' Air Corps that opposed the Sorceress and he was one of the many denizens that got captured until Spyro freed him and he joined the dragon in his quest to retrieve all the stolen dragon eggs, easily becoming one of Spyro's most trusted allies. He is also a flying penguin, something that normally would be impossible for one of his kind but he is able to do it anyway, which got him a position in the pantheon after his friend Spyro casually mentioned that he knew a flying penguin, which the Court of Gods took notice of and quickly brought him in from examination.
  • While he has a jetpack, Sgt Byrd is able to defy his species' biology and fly with his flippers. The Madagascar Penguins were quite interested in this, and were further pleased that he shares a similar cunning operative personality to them. They are also rather amicable penguins.
  • Is rather understanding of Leafa's desire for flight and is helping instruct her on improving her flight. He doesn't think it's too hard, given he achieved it as a penguin. Salamence, however, soon proved unpleasant to Sgt Byrd since he ended up using the gift of flight to be a Jerkass to everyone.
  • With Sgt Byrd's ascension came new and old foes of Spyro who considered him and his friends extensions of "The Spyro Problem". Gnasty Gnorc wasn't that fearsome to Byrd, but Malefor proved a much more fearsome foe. Neo Cortex is working with Ripto to deal with each other's enemies.
  • Despite being a penguin, Sgt Byrd doesn't have any noted preference to cold. He does have a distaste for evil walruses and seals, as Lord Frederik found out when he was given a mission to stop some recent rampage. Napoleon has used the fact he flies as part of his "two legs bad, four arms good" and anti-human propaganda, despite not caring about him anyway. That, and he doesn't like how he resembles a British agent. Caesar has sided with him against the tyrant pig.
  • A spoof of various secret agents, as he tends to speaks with a British accent and is an Officer and a Gentleman. Naturally, he gets along with James Bond himself, though has no interest in being The Casanova like him as he's already engaged. The two make a peculiar fighting pair whenever it's in their best interests to team up.
  • His girlfriend Isabelle is a fairy, and Sgt Byrd has no problem with that. Anyone who's racist against fairies and/or penguins will get a dirty look from the penguin. He has a good relationship with the House of Fairies, mainly Tinkerbell as she's the fairy most similar to the ones he knows.
  • Denzel Crocker tried to steal Isabelle due to his obsession with FAIRIES! and deluded belief that any of them will grant him the magical power he desires. When pointed out that only applies with FAIRY! GOD! PARENTS! Denzel stated that "well how do you think a penguin learned to fly and talk without FAIRY! GOD! PARENTS!", before being blasted away with Sgt Byrd's rockets.
  • He felt bad about the Prinnies since they keep getting abused a lot. However he's more hesitant to help them when they actually house the souls of past murderers, thieves and other criminals/sinners; it doesn't help that Skipper and co. are irrationally defending them. Dag the coyote earned his scorn not just for being a heartless savage animal, but also allying with Napoleon. Dag's not looking to eat a penguin anytime soon, but he knows Sgt. Byrd will be a hassle to face.

[up][up] [tup] for Sgt penguin

So question, is the Corpus into bio-terrorism? Because at least Krauser does have the "conflict is better" mindset

And to that, anyone who enjoys war or conflict?

[up][up][up] I remember one splinter group of Corpus tried using Technocyte against Frohd Bek and the Corpus Board for their own non-profit gain. The message suggests Bek only spoke up about it to the Tenno because it's directed towards them and only used the threat of the Infested as a point to work together.

Safe to say they wouldn't really be above it. I'd wager RE bio-weaponry being a lot more controllable than the Infested, so that would help spark their interests.

Apollyon likes war and conflict too.

Still not finished yet. I'm still looking for interactions regarding these two.

Also, how do you think I could bring up their interaction with Elisabet Vogler?

Elisa Esposito and the Asset, Co-Deities of Fantastic Romances (Elisa: The Princess Without Voice; The Asset: Amphibian Man, Charlie)

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/sally_02.png
Elisa (left) and the Asset (right)
  • House: Love
  • Lesser Deities
  • Symbol: A bathtub filled with brackish water. Alternatively, Giles’ charcoal drawing of the two together.
  • Theme Songs: “The Shape of Water”, “You’ll Never Know”, “Elisa’s Theme” (for Elisa)
  • Alignment: Neutral Good
  • Portfolio: Interspecies Romance
  • Domains: Love, Mutes (Elisa), Fish Men (The Asset)
  • Heralds: Zelda Delilah Fuller, Giles, Dimitri
  • Superior: Guillermo del Toro
  • Allies: Hellboy, Belle and the Beast, Ben and Saoirse, Rikuo, Amélie Poulain, Edward Scissorhands, Sona Buvelle
  • Enemies: Gaston
  • Good Counterpart to: The Gill-man (The Asset)
  • During the Cold War in the early 1960’s, there was a mute woman name Elisa Esposito, who worked as a night-time janitor in a top secret research facility. Things changed for her when she discovered what her superiors call the Asset, an amphibious humanoid creature confined to a water tank. Elisa, out of loneliness, fascination, and sympathy for its torture at the hands of head security officer Richard Strickland, befriended and developed a relationship with the creature. They were chosen to represent Fantastic Romance after the Court of the Gods took notice of their story.
  • In many ways, they have been compared to Belle and the Beast with the most obvious being that both Belle and Elisa are in love with a monster (the Beast and the Asset respectively). Not only that, but they both stand up against their respective adversaries and end up with their true love. As such, the two couples get along pretty well. Additionally, both Elisa and the Asset have a disdain towards Gaston as his disregard towards the Beast reminds Elisa of Strickland’s mistreatment of the Asset.
  • The two seem to get along well with Hellboy, who would sometimes visit their temple. Elisa isn’t quite shocked with his appearance, having been used to the Asset. For Hellboy, something about the Asset has reminded him of his friend Abe Sapien, noting his similar looks.
  • They have also befriended Edward Scissorhands as he finds their relationship to be similar to his own relationship with Kim. Edward also understands their situation of coming from a society oppressing them.
  • It’s no surprise that some deities believe that the Asset is related to the Gill-man, especially considering their similarities to each other. For the Gill-man, he saw Elisa as a potential mate, which led to him attempting to snatch her. The Asset doesn’t take that well, and the two amphibious creatures engaged in a showdown, which ended with the Gill-man retreating. Since then, the Asset has been keeping an eye on the Gill-man in case he goes after Elisa again. On the other hand, they seem to be on better terms with another fish-like creature, Rikuo.
  • Elisa can not talk given that as a child, she was found in a river with wounds on her neck. As such, she usually communicates through use of sign language.
    • Saoirse visited the two’s temple out of curiosity. Upon encountering Elisa, she is reminded of herself, particularly due to both of them being mute (well, Saoirse was for a while) and their connection with aquatic creatures. Since then, she has been hanging out with her every now and then despite the age difference.
    • As the Goddess of Adorable Muteness, Sona Buvelle sometimes visit Elisa and the Asset’s temple to play some music for them.

Got some SCP ideas. What do you think?

  • The Fifth Church, Divine Religious Hybridization (House of Religious Practice, Chaotic Something)-the Fifth Church is an anomalous faith that mixes New Age faith with various other religious traits like Christianity, Buddhism and other things as they take trappings of other religions
  • Dr Robert Scranton, God of Isolation-Induced Madness (House of Causes of Madness, Lawful Neutral)-Dr Scranton was the inventor of the Scranton Reality Anchor and researcher into altered levels of reality. He was stuck in SCP-3001, an empty void dimension, for years with only his own body and a winking red light for stimulus. He proceeded to decay both in mind and body as there was literally nothing else
  • Doctor Wondertainment, Entity of Producing Dangerous Toys (House of Craft)-either a person, a group or an organization, who while they aren't malicious they do produce anomalous and potentially very dangerous toys

@Wikia: [tup] for the Cats Eye trio. Rivals with Ren Amamiya's crew? And Lupin III's, if r-lock ever gets around to working on reworking them. And Ann might take a shine to them.

@faso: Failed to notice it earlier, but I approve of your idea of Distinctive Appearances for Happy Feet's Mumble.

In the event I start work on Daring Do, perhaps a group of archaeologists can be formed. Besides Indy, Lara, and Nathan, who else are such? Aside from The League of Explorers?

[up]I don't think they have yet. I checked their sandbox. No changes reflected. Then again, it's not like I get to frequently update my sandbox, either. And they posted that a long time ago, so they might've forgotten.
