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.

Some of the cats.
The Cats from Neko Astume , The Divine Representatives of Idle Game
  • Rank: Quasideities
  • Symbol: Each cat has a special item, but fish and golden fish for all.
  • Theme Song:Original BGM
  • Alignment: True Neutral, but Tubbs is more Chaotic Neutral
  • Portfolio:
  • Domains: Cats, Fish, Food, Toys
  • Followers:
  • Allies: The House of Felines, Iwashiro Tesshou ,Rubeus Hagrid, Sabrina Spellman, Sakaki, Eliza Thornberry, H.P. Lovecraft, Skitty, Hello Kitty, Luna
  • Rivals:
  • Enemies:
  • Additional Character Relationships:
  • Respected by/Respects:
  • Pitied by/Pities:
  • Opposed by/Opposes:
  • Conflicting Opinion:
  • It was a nice, warm day outside The House of Felines, with some toys and food left outside for the residents there. Then, when nobody was looking, a cat came into the yard, then another and another, and nobody saw them come in. After the original cats left, they left behind some fish, some of which was gold. After this happened, some of the gods decided to test if this would happen again. Placing some more food, this time of higher quality, and toys; Some of the gods waited for them to come. They waited for hours, but no cats came, so they decided to call it quits. Only when they turned away, the cats came, with Tubbs eating all the food. It later came to light that the cats came from a game where things happen only when not being watched/played. A house, or rather large yard, was later built in the house of Gaming Genres, with Kindhearted Cat Lover deities coming over to visit.
  • If certain items and higher grade food are placed outside, a special type of cat may come. These tend to wear clothes unlike the other normal cats, and some of them can stand on two feet or are a different breed compared to the rest of the cats. Peaches, despite not being classified as one of these rare cat, is still one the hardest cats to get to the yard and still harder to get to see as she tends to leave quickly.
  • The cats all have Power Levels ,which means that if a cat is already using toy and another cat wants to use the same toy, then the cat with the higher power level gets to use the toy. Some of the cats have surprisingly high power levels for their personality, like Dottie,Pepper, Misty having "Friendly","Shy", and "Lazy" personalities, but power levels of 195, 165, and 160. Then there's Pickles, who is "Faint-hearted" and has a power level of 0; This is has made him very endearing to several deities as it brings out some protective instincts them.
  • For some reason Billy the Kitten is nihilistic, but he doesn't act like one. The cowboys of the pantheon have taken a liken to him considering he's attracted to the yard by placing down the cowboy hat.
In the work so far, need suggestions for allies and enemies.

Also, any more suggestions for Violet?

A little question, but is Miracle-Gro Monster taken yet? If not, I'm considering giving it to the Ymir from 20 Million Miles to Earth given that it's an alien monster from Venus that grows uncontrollably because of Earth's oxygen rich atmosphere.

I'm also considering adopting the Wolf Man profile from Whirl RX if he's okay with it.

[up][up][up] Necromancy and Reanimation as far as I can see. Most of the links to Voldemort contain only Forms of Immortality, and since the trope Soul Jar has more to do with immortality in Voldemort's case than necromancy and reanimating the dead, I'd say remove his necromancy link.

  • Greater God, but his RG/UG form is that of a Lesser God
  • Symbol: His cell phone
  • Theme Song: Calling
  • Alignment: True Neutral at first with an Evil leaning, Neutral Good after development
  • Portfolio: Tough, Effeminate Men, Has An Eye For The Brooding Anti-Hero Kind, Ambiguously Gay, Uses His Cellphone To Drop Objects From The Sky Or Cast Down Beams Of Light, Deadpan Snarker, Insufferable Genius, Physical God, Lonely at the Top, Being The Composer Is Hard, Authority Equals Asskicking, Victorious Antagonist, tries to corrupt Neku but ends up being "purified" by him instead, Not-So-Easily Forgiven, Restored My Faith in Humanity, Smug Smiler, Took a Level in Kindness
  • Domains: Death, Disguise, Holiness, Tokyo (or specifically, Shibuya)
  • Herald: Sanae Hanekoma, The Producer, and is actually of higher rank than Joshua. However, he prefers not to have that much attention, which is why he isn't the representative deity.
  • High Priest: Peco
  • Followers: Mokona, The Rainbow Faces, Fizban/Paladine, The Celestial, Luna/Althena
  • Allies: Neku Sakuraba, Shiki Misaki, Beat, Rhyme, Sora, Riku, Oerba Dia Vanille, Kaworu Nagisa
  • Enemies: Master Xehanort and his cohorts, YHVH
  • Respected by: Crow
  • Opposed By: Sho Minamimoto
  • Rival (one-sided): Aslan
  • When Neku first met Joshua, it was during his second Reaper's Game where Shiki became his entry fee, requiring him to find a new partner. He was like Neku, but encouraged his isolationism, which Neku resisted since by that time, he's been learning to open up to people thanks to Shiki. There was also the fact that Joshua might've been the reason he was in the Reaper's Game in the first place by killing him. Despite that, Joshua has come to think of Neku as a friend.
    • The truth turns out to be a lot more complicated than that. He's actually the Composer, who orchestrates the Reaper's Game in the first place, and he planned on Shibuya's destruction because he thought it was losing its Imagination and wanted it destroyed before its influence could poison the rest of the world. His Game Master Kitaniji was against the idea, so the two played a Game to determine the district's fate. And Neku was Joshua's Proxy, meant to represent the worst of Shibuya to validate its destruction. However, his time spent with Neku, who changed almost completely for the better over the course of three Reaper's Games, ultimately convinced him to spare the city; if even the worst can improve, maybe it isn't hopeless for Shibuya to do the same.
  • Joshua has been in the Pantheon for a long time now, despite having no trope to his name (although he could've been someone's follower/high priest for awhile), and he had observed the ascensions of Neku and Beat, but never made an appearance until shortly after the Great Upheaval. He had distracted himself by playing Tin Pin Slammer in an alternate universe, which he had visited before for most of Neku's third week in the UG playing the Reaper's Game a third time before Hanekoma called him back. After satisfying his boredom, he returned to the Pantheon, and soon found a trope for his own: God Was My Co-Pilot.
  • Joshua is usually found on the mortal plane, observing mortals from a distance. Whenever Neku and Beat make trips down to the mortal realm to spend time with Shiki and Rhyme (before their own ascensions to the Pantheon), Joshua keeps his distance, but still watches. He wanted to join them as Neku's friend, but never did, at least until Sora convinced him to.
    • It was thanks to him that Rhyme eventually ascended, by channeling her dreams.
  • He's a rather annoying person to be around, but is still rather smart, to the point where he can keep up with Minamimoto's rambling.
  • Considers Aslan to be something of a rival, though the latter never seems to notice.
  • Ever since returning the Pantheon, Sho Minamimoto has once again started making attempts on Joshua's life. He's more interested in being the Composer than taking his position in the Pantheon, however. CRUNCH! He'll add God Was My Co-Pilot to the heap. No attempts were successful as of yet. He's rather amused by these attempts, over all.
  • Is in direct opposition of Master Xehanort and his cohorts for the Heartless destroying his and his friends' world sometime after the whole Reaper's Game business. Joshua saved what he could of them by bringing the remnants of their dreams to Traverse Town when it appeared before him and used Rhyme's dream to open the portal into it. That was where he met and befriended Sora and Riku.
  • Is perfectly alright with wearing women's clothing.
  • Shio Ramen is his preferred form of tribute.
  • Only a select few in the Pantheon have seen Joshua in his full Composer form. Even Sora and Riku only got a glimpse at his wings. Minamimoto may have seen it, but both refuse to comment on the matter.
  • Despite his godlike powers, he too was a victim of the Friendship Asylum. Neku, Rhyme and Beat were able to save Joshua from the asylum, but not without a corrupted Riku being able to torture Joshua with his magical feathers. The resulting wounds would require Black Jack to operate on Joshua to save his life.
  • Has the respect of Crow of all gods for his victory in deciding on the fate of Shibuya and using the hero Neku as a pawn for accomplishing that plan. Sure, he ultimately decided to spare the city when his original plan was to destroy it, but that's not that much different from Crow's own change of mind when it came to his plans.

What can be added to his profile. I'm kinda stuck at the moment.

Clifford, God of Giants Who Were Tiny In Childhood (The Big Red Dog)

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/7f3485c0dbb9ad4bae79356bf8fdbbae.png
  • When he first encountered Dag, he was intimidating enough for Clifford to immediately run away. Funnily enough, because of Clifford's size, Dag was also inclined to run, and tends to stay away lest he get stomped by the big red dog.

@Clovis: Since Rita is from the first series, why not take Insarn from Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger or Levira from Power Rangers Super Megaforce? The anniversary series? There's plenty of other monster growers with unique traits like Naria from Doubutsu Sentai Zyuohger (monster dies) feeds him a coin, "This coin is from Master Ginis. I hope you use it wisely. (monster grows) "Thank you Naria!")

@ Clifford: Bigby was the runt of his mother's litter.

A simple repost of Zanaris. I've added some more info and plan on adding even more later, but what do you guys think so far, see any problems?

Zanaris, Divine Land of Faerie (The Lost City, Fairy City, the Moonnote )
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/zanaris.jpg
  • A strange plane, possibly the nexus of all planes. Inhabited by fairies the laws of physics and logic do not apply on Zanaris (animals can talk and plants require no nutrients or sunlight to grow, and emit a faint glow). Realm is either located on or makes up the entirety of Gielinor's moon.
  • Symbol: A Fairy Ring.
  • Theme Song: Faerie
  • Alignment: Lawful Good
  • Portfolio: Land of Faerie, Clucking Funny, Crop Circle, Humanoid Aliens, Lunarians, The Mafia, Fairy Rings, Random Events, Shapeshifting, Talking Animals, Tooth Fairy, Tree Top Town
  • Domains: Abbreviations, Fairies, Fairy Tooth Magic, Magic, the Moon
  • Similar to: Neverland
  • Sacred to: Guthix, most fairies especially the House of Fairies
  • Banned: Bayonetta
  • A kingdom/plane/citynote  in which the fairies of Gielnor are from and which many still live. This realm is ruled by the Fairy Queen, though she was briefly supplanted by the Fairy Godfather. Thankfully the Fairy Queen regained her throne with the help of the hero (Insert Name Here).
    • The being who briefly supplanted the Fairy Queen was the Fairy Godfather, leader of the Fairy Mafia. He did this by stabbing her in the back when they went to fight the Tanglefoot. Shortly afterwards he enlisted an army of orks to help him keep control. The Fairy Godfather and his army were then defeated with the use of fairy tooth magic.
  • According to a fairy simply known as the Co-ordinatornote , "Zanaris is an extremely old place, it was here long before we fairyfolk came to live here. In fact it is rumoured to be the nexus of all planes. When we arrived here we found many of the magical properties of this place to be dormant."
  • As stated earlier Zanaris has many magical properties with many of them still not entirely understood or completely unknown to this day. Some of the known magics that exist are the fairy rings, a permanent portal to Puro-Puro, people temporarily turning into animals, talking animals and possibly fairy tooth magic.
    • The Fairy Rings were created by the Fairy Queen by harnessing the magic from a portal that's been sealed for centuries. Most people; with the exception of fairy kind, will need either a Dramen or Lunar Staff in order to use the rings. A special code is also needed to seen someone to another Fairy Ring, with the exception of the main Zanaris Fairy Ring.
      • Ever since Zanaris entered the Pantheon Fairy Rings have been appearing all over the place. Several have appeared in the House of Dominions. One has also naturally appeared in the House of Faries, due to Zanaris being a Fairy Kingdom.
    • Though all portals to Pure-Puro appear as Crop Circles in wheat fields, the one in Zanaris is noted to be permanent, while it's so called sister portals on Gielnor periodically move. The reason this portal to Puro-Puro is permanent is unknown, though it's presumably due to one of the unknown magical properties of Zanaris, similar to the magic that's used for the Fairy Rings.
      • Not much is known about Puro-Puro, only that's a magical world separate from Gielnor; and by extension Zanaris, and that's the home of the Implings. The only accessible location in Puro-Puro is a large maze of wheat where the minigame Impetuous Impulses is played.
    • On occasion individuals will temporarily turn into animals, in particular chickens and pigs. Those that have went through this event have only described it as "weird".
    • For some reason various species of animals have been found to talk in Zanaris. Why this exactly is is unknown. The animals known to speak are the cows and the sheep. There's also a talking Frog, but only one has been seen.
    • Fairy Tooth Magic; which is sometimes referred to as FTM or simply tooth magic, is a closely guarded secret of the fairies and so most of it's uses and capabilities are unknown. It is known that tooth magic can be used to create Tooth creatures. These entities are "tooth" versions of whatever creature their tooth came from. They are made by planting a tooth in a enchanted farm patchnote . Tooth magic was also used to defeat the Fairy Godfather and his Ork army.
  • It is from Zanaris that the god Guthix first laid eyes on the world Gielinor. This information was revealed from Guthix's memories; which were triggered by catching Guthixian Butterflies, during a Tribute To Guthix.
  • For some reason a statue of a chicken; called the Chicken Shrine, is in Zanaris. Offering a raw chicken to the shrine will have you teleported to the lair of a dangerous and powerful entity, known simply as the Evil Chicken. Inside the Evil Chicken's Lair one can find Drakolith rocks and Black Dragons, who are there to protect and pay their respects to the Evil Chicken.
  • Banned from this location is Bayonetta since some of her weapons use the souls of fairies.

Dr. Maddiman would be a great god for Jerkass Woobie, due to the fact that despite him wanting to rip out Nate/Katie’s heart out in the first game, he had a very tragic life, working his life away to create the artificial yo kai Hans Full, who ended up dying anyway, and that caused him to have bad relationships with his family.

Dr. Maddiman, God of JerkassWoobies (Dr Maddikins)

  • Lesser God

  • Alignment: Neutral evil (used to be chaotic evil when he was with Mcracken)

  • Portfolio: {{Jerkass Woobie}}, Spent most of his time at work when he was alive, Cyclops, Seems to have his heart exposed, Uses scalpels as makeshift claws, Mad Scientist, Axe-Crazy, Deadly Doctor

  • Herald:Dr. Nocturne and his animal experimental Yo-kai

  • Allies: Other Mad Scientist and Deadly Doctor deities, Blastoise

  • Enemies: Roboking, Kirby, Probopass, the fallen child

  • Despises: Veridi

  • Interested in: Silvally, nurse Valentine

  • His story for ascending is a weird one: One day the pantheon was visited by a normal-looking doctor who said that a certain list of deities needed a check-up. The King of the cosmos (Who was monitoring the prince at the time) turn him away at first, but when the doctor bribed him with a large bag of candy, the king’s SweetTooth kicked in and he allowed the check-ups to happen, but after that, a series of deaths began...
    • A small handful of gods got that check-up but after the doctor put them to sleep he reveled himself as Dr. Maddiman and then stole their hearts, not figuratively, literally. Thanks to the Pantheon’s Healing, no harm was done... except Maddiman still had the heart.

    • This came to a head when the check-up on the Roboking concluded, because of the broken heart’s ability to suck things towards it, a lot of the gods around the Roboking’s room got pulled toward it allowing them to catch Maddiman in the act. Upon the realization that he had been discovered, Maddiman made a run for it, tossing poisonous potions to slow his chasers down. Once he finally was caught, he started to beg for mercy.

    • Then he told his captors his backstory: he WasOnceAMan who had a wife and kid. He spent a lot of time with work and barely had any time to interact with anyone, much less his wife and kid. One April fools day, told his wife and son he was working late as a joke, then came home with gifts only to find that his wife and kid moved to BBQ, never to return. Then he worked himself to death to finish his artificial yo kai Hans Full but he feels like he wasted his life on work.

    • His captors were so touched by his story that not only did they free him but ascended him to be a Jerkass Woobie then Viridi (who was one of the captors) said he should enjoy being a yo kai instead of a “Dirty Human” Take two guesses how THAT turned out.

He has a weird friendship with blastoise, mainly due to his three experimental turtle yo kai (one of them even has a similar name to him) but what ever you do DO NOT, under any circumstances, call his game series a rip-off of Pokemon, or he will rip you to shreds

Has a lot a varying opinions about Silvally. On one hand, it reminds him of Hans Full. On the other hand it reminds him of Hans Full. Nevertheless, he still wants one. The one in the pantheon is Gladion’s partner, though, but he plans to raid the Ather foundation of its last Type:Null.

After his “Stealing hearts” thing he did to get in he has tried multiple smaller scale attempts at the same thing. He tried to steal the fallen child’s SOUL, that failed. He tried to steal Probopass’s magnets, that failed. He tried to steal Kirby’s BlackHoleBelly, and that epically failed. But no matter what it costs he will NEVER give up

Is oddly ok with the idea of Kaijus, due to one time where his three turtle experiments fused and turned into one. He is also ok with Humongous Mechas due to one ( made by a oversized toy model) fought said kaiju

May or may not have been inspired to freeze a bunch of yo kai in ice cubes by Lusamine (or the other way around or it was just coincidence). Gladion brags a bit about how Lusamine is a better person then the doctor, due to unfreezing them after she learned better. Maddiman can only respond with a Death Glare.

Seems to be more than causally interested in nurse Valentine. He has asked the house of love how to tell her, they said he has no chance with her. And.. Let’s just leave it at that.

@Violet Evergarden, because she’s enemies with three different Nazis, I think being allies with Captain America and William J. Blazkowicz would be appropriate.

@Clifford, Cruella De Vil seems like a good enemy. Bet she’d like a big red fur coat.
