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.

You know, maybe some KR profiles should be merged. Depends on the trope though, no one has to be removed yet.

Hey, I've been getting into the Pantheon again lately. I'm thinking of making an application for Robert/Bobby from Company for ascension as the God of Third Wheel. His character plays third wheel to five different married couples, and much of his work revolves around them. He's even got several songs about how good a third wheel he is. Thoughts?

Also there's also a shortage of gods from musicals. :p

Thus begins Rimuru Tempest's ascension. 1st day.

Repost Mode

Rimuru Tempest, God of Gaining Perks In The Next World (Satoru Mikami, Rimiru, Chancellor of the Great Jura Alliance, King Slime & Ruler of Monsters, King of Jura Tempest, Chaos Creator, Great Demon Lord, 5th True Dragon)

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/rimuru_tempest.png
Left: his humanoid avatar, Right: his true form (not to scale)
Click here for his previous life as Satoru Mikami 
It is known that he's since done much more and can even access any point in space-time, but for now, immediate post-True Demon Lord status will be the furthest he'll be at upon ascending to the Pantheon.
  • Upon being briefed on the specifics, Rimuru accepted the offer, and shortly joined the GUAG since her interests and his are compatible.
  • Rimuru is often seen in one of two guises; his default slime form, and his humanoid form he acquired after assimilating Shizue's body at her request. The Court also granted him the form of his previous life as Satoru Mikami, but he doesn't use that often as he's long since moved on from that life.
  • One should note that even if he might be a slime, that does not mean he's a low-level Mook that can be easily handled. If one can sense his aura (it was a surprise to him that not everyone in the Pantheon can do so), one would find it surprisingly imposing. Even then, he can suppress it, or even mask it completely. It had been a surprise for him the first time he had to fight someone who clearly had no idea who they were up against until he proved them wrong. That's why when he's in dangerous or unknown territory, he's in his humanoid form more.
  • When it comes to healing, at first, he used to consume the patient, use the healing potion substance in him on the patient, and then eject them good as new. Nowadays, with water manipulation, he instead forms globules of the stuff he can easily toss to those in need. These potions are so potent they can even restore lost limbs, and diluting them to a tenth still lets them work as well as a standard X-Potion.
  • While he can copy techniques from any book he "consumes" and "spits out", he still has to practice them to make them useful.
    • Speaking of books, give him paper, something he knows, and he can "print" it out in mint condition. He's done this once with certain manga, even when Great Sage considers this a waste of his talents, but he's not doing this for just anybody.
  • He can even replicate enchanted items, but he needs to have consumed the materials normally required to create it (as well as the item in question, of course). He cannot improve on it with this skill however, thus not invalidating the need for weaponsmiths.
  • His Magic Sense allows him to translate messages of personal will (a.k.a. speech) into forms he can understand, so he can understand any language. With the Ultrasonic Wave ability he acquired from a Giant Bat he consumed, he can convey his thoughts into words, and in any language as well. While being an Omniglot is a common perk for all sapient deities in the Pantheon who can speak, his skill allows him to, with enough analysis from Great Sage, understand any other forms of verbal communication like Nuju's Bird rahi speech, Ti'zo's chittering, et cetera. As for non-verbal communication such as the Heptapods' writing, he has his other skills to replicate their process (again, after enough analysis with Great Sage).
  • The dimensional space within Rimuru's Predator is pretty much like a Luxury Prison Suite, with its prisoners permitted to conjure anything while incarcerated within him for their comfort. One dimension holds the Great Storm Dragon Veldora (as he and Rimuru try to figure out his Unlimited Imprisonment and how to break it) and a Fire Spirit Ifrit (after the former pulled the latter in to his own space for sparring and conversation), another holds Shizue, or rather her body, at her dying request, and another held the Orc King Geld, whose soul has since moved on.
    • As for how it works in the Pantheon, any adversary he consumes, if they're a deity, he's not allowed to assimilate their souls, which are automatically magically extracted for revival in the House of Life and Death. Otherwise, it can end up as a case-by-case basis if what he consumes might cause problems for him in the long term.
    • As for powers he absorbs from Pantheon residents, they're his to keep until all of his physical body gets destroyed, after which he'll have to take them again if he wants them. While annihilating the nucleus of his soul is the only real way to kill him for good, in the Pantheon, only the House of Life and Death can bring his body back. That said, given he has the ability to create clone bodies (which he can control manually), this already puts him at an advantage over other assimilators like him.
  • He's aware that there are others who end up in other worlds, and that there are other examples besides reincarnation (in fact, his case is rare even in his world, much less reincarnating as a slime), such as being summoned (by the local deity or by denizens), getting trapped inside a video game, activating an artifact, etc. Some even come with a way to get back home. Some don't even have any desire to go back at all even if there was a way. And there're those who came from other worlds and ended up on Earth.
    • As fellow Light Novel protagonists who become influential leaders in the worlds they now reside in, Rimuru gets along with Touya (even if he's more of a Reluctant Ruler; Rimuru was the same) and Shiroe (as the only one of equal ranking) and gets into discussions with the latter in regards to leadership skills.
  • As a monster with friendly relations with humans (though it helps that he once was one), he became quick friends with Yomi and Ceri, and has on occasion visited their temple for... diplomatic reasons* .
  • In regards to Ainz Ooal Gown, who also started out as a human (and named Satoru as well, no less), he isn't sure what to think. Both of them are leaders of nations (which they've been thrust into taking) with very loyal subordinates and both have an ultimate vision of having a world of peace between all races.
    • That said, Ainz is all too willing to slaughter anyone who isn't an ally, and willing to commit all kinds of atrocities for the sake of his empire, whereas Rimuru will only retaliate hard as a last resort or when a friend is in danger (or if it's a mindless Random Encounter) and would rather settle things with his neighbors diplomatically and peacefully.
    • That said, Rimuru expresses pity since Ainz had essentially been forced and pressured into his current role, his emotions were also forcibly suppressed, and he was starting his new life from a very lofty position while Rimuru (and his eventual federation) had more humble beginnings as they worked from the ground up.
    • What's also concerning is that folks want to see who would win between the two if they ever came to blows. Right now, Rimuru is not confident that he would prevail in his current state. As for what he becomes in the future, however... let's just say that will be a completely different story.
  • In meetings with other GUAG commanders, he met some of Azeroth's heroes and forged alliances where possible. One notable encounter was with Thrall, whom he initially labeled as a hobgoblin due to his green skin and muscular physique before the former Horde Warchief corrected him that he was an orc. Rimuru was caught a bit off guard, given orcs in his world were more like Pig Men.
    • He was then also warned of the current God of Goblins as well as the other God of Orcs, and Rimuru promised not to associate with them. He also got to meet Zac, another Blob Monster who was also very friendly (despite his looks).
  • Having suffered some terrible cooking a few times before, he dreads the infamous Mystery Food X; if it could paralyze a divine being and make a ghost pass out, what horrors would his slime body be subject to if he absorbs any of it?
    • Unfortunately, he would eventually experience the results for himself when someone chickened out of taking the food as a test of courage and blindly shoved the spoon into his mouth as he passed by (the irony that Rimuru himself had done this to Gobta before with Shion's cooking wasn't lost on him). It resulted in him reverting to his slime form and going on that same standby state he had been a few times before when he Named the goblins. That state thankfully lasted only a few hours. Oh, and he Acquired Poison Immunity after that.
  • If there's something he shows utter contempt for, it's those with staunch/blind anti-monster sentiments who have the power and unwavering dedication to... carry out their mission. The attack on Tempest by the Western Saints Church and the Falmas Kingdom resulted in a hundred casualties on his end, a few of them close friends of his and even children, even though he was able to ressurrect them and grant them immortality afterward.
    • As for what he did to the invading soldiers, namely consuming them to become a True Demon Lord, some folks are divided on this matter. One side thinks he's finally crossed the line with the slaughter and soul assimilation of >10000 people, while the other can see that there really was no other option; the Falmas Kingdom and the Western Saints Church made the first move, instigated a fight that killed a hundred of Tempest's population, children included, and would've otherwise wiped the entire Federation off the map had nothing been done.
    • In regards to such hunters...
      • For those like B. B. Hood, he will not hesitate to fight and kill her if need be, especially when another's life is in danger from her.
      • But for those like Hoss Delgado, he will give a chance despite the hunter's attitude; Rimuru can understand that befriending a monster species can take a while to get used to.
  • Due to his skillset, as well as their opposing views on humans, Alex Mercer is interested in what he can acquire should he consume Rimuru, namely the Gluttony skill. That said, given the slime's achievements, this plan is at an impasse because he's aware that it's also likely that Rimuru might be able to consume him first instead, potentially granting him the Blacklight Virus and all that entails. He already lost to James Heller, and that was his own doing. He will not let this slime be the next.
    • While the former sergeant is still getting used to having allies of comparable strength, Heller and Rimuru were able to forge an alliance in stopping Mercer's plots.
    • Metallix also wants to obtain Rimuru's powers for similar reasons, but is also wary that one wrong move and all of his powers (innate and copied), not to mention the materials that compose his body, can end up being absorbed by the slime. And so far, he's not given Rimuru—who isn't confrontational by nature—good reason to hunt him down, but it might only be a matter of time.
  • Given it's also a monster-populated place like the Federation he's the leader of, Rimuru decided to visit the Anur System, though was advised to not assume a human form due to their xenophobia against humans. He hopes to change their sentiments one day.
  • "I'm not a bad slime!"

Might as well. I have something new regarding the other monster-populated Dominion.

To everyone who went against us, we will bare our fangs and retaliate.
To everyone who lends their hands to us, we will grant our blessing to them.
To our opponents, we will do to them what they have done to us.
In the future, I hope that we can be linked in friendship one day.

Jura Tempest Federation, Holy Seat of Civilized Monster Areas (Monster Country Tempest, Jura Forest Alliance)

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/tempest.jpg
Its capital city, Rimuru
  • Symbol: Rimuru Tempest's slime form
  • Alignment: Neutral Good
  • Portfolio: Monster Nation, Alliance of Various Monster Races, Nominally Truthful, Pulled Into War For Self-Defense, Egopolis Not By His Choosing
  • Domain(s): Monsters, Nations, Alliances, Demi-Human
  • Similar Places: Monster Metropolis, Sheol City, Midian, The Found Thousand, Droaam, Medina Town, Quelb, Sharom Island, Mt. Ebott's Underground, Skull Valley, Mechanicsburg, Monster Isle, Pottsfield
  • Related Dominion: Halloween Town, The Anur System
  • Sacred To: Rimuru Tempest, all civilized monsters
  • Banned From Entry: Indiscriminate monster hunters, warmongers
  • After being oriented with how the Pantheon works, how to ascend a dominion, and what tropes are available, Rimuru has decided to nominate his nation, the Jura Tempest Federation, for the trope Monster Town.
  • Aside from the slime Rimuru, populating this Federation are goblins, orcs, lizardmen, demons, dryads, treants, elves, ogres, any "evolutions" thereof, and all other kinds of monsters as well as a percentage of humans.
  • Before entering, after it's assured that the visitor will behave themselves in the city, a guide book is provided to them, which will tell them everything there is to know of the Federation. It comes with a lot of pictures in case one is illiterate.
  • One can find clothing stores, smitheries, all sorts of eateries (serving everything from pastries to pizza), training grounds, hot spring baths, a coliseum for events, a school for all age ranges with nearly as much subject diversity as the Elysium Academy, all the usual amenities of a pre-electricity town.
  • The roads are also wide and well-made stone, and while there's a chance for Random Encounters, the Federation's security can keep them under control, and it's nothing a standard adventurer can't handle.
  • There's even an underground labyrinth that serves as an attraction for adventurers, and it even has a "tutorial" floor for beginners, teaching about booby traps (and not just your average ones like arrows and spikes, but also things like boxing gloves on springs and even equipment-destroyers), nooks and crannies, mimics, etc. Visitors are also granted bracelets that will revive them and return them to the gates, so Death Is a Slap on the Wrist in there. And you better believe that it will be brutal. Manual mapping is vital, and it can take days to travel a floor. There are even Save Points. Oh, and treasures, of course.
  • Besides the usual gold, there's a point system used by the Federation's workers for purchasing amenities.
  • There's also a theme park planned for non-adventurers to enjoy, but it's still under construction.
  • As a place full of monster species, those who hunt them with no regard of their alignment are naturally not welcome here.
  • Despite also being a populated area full of monsters, establishing a "trade route" with the Anur System proves difficult due to the system's distrustful sentiments on humans, mainly due to 1) not knowing how to establish such between a star system and a terrestrial domain and 2) the Federation's acceptance of humans in their territory.

  • Kou Tokisaka is a seemingly-average high school student who attends Morimiya Academy and has various part-time jobs to make ends meet while his parents are working overseas. His life changed when he saw his classmate Asuka Hiiragi being harassed by delinquents, who then gets suddenly drawn into a mysterious realm called the Eclipse where monsters called Greeds roam. He obtains his Soul Device; Raging Gear, from a mysterious light, which is a gauntlet equipped with an extendable Whip Sword. His Soul Device's default element is Fire, but it can control all the other elements (Spirit, Wind, Steel, and Shadow) if different Master Cores are equipped.
    • He also likes to address all people, regardless of affiliation, status, or relationship, with first names. Contradictory to belief, this was not how ascended into the Pantheon. Rather, he found a rather strange gate that looked unfamiliar from his home realm, and after entering it, ended up into the Pantheon. While reacting with confusion at first, he later managed to reunite with the ascended members of the X.R.C.
  • He gets along well with Kirito due to the fact that both share similar personalities and motivations. He also gets along well with Kirito's girlfriend Asuna who reminds him a lot of Asuka in a way. He even admits that he has mistaken Asuna for Asuka a couple of times because of their similar looks.
  • He has some mixed opinions about Mana Ouma. While he does sympathize with her due to the fact that she shares a similar tragic backstory and circumstance as his Childhood Friend Shiori, he's also thrown off by the fact that she exhibits some very disturbing obsessions towards her brother Shu, and is aware that she harbours the dangerous Apocalypse Virus. He's very cautious about approaching her.
  • He's on good terms with the Phantom Thieves of Hearts because both them and the Xanadu Research Club specialize in going into eldritch labyrinths to defeat monsters corrupting people inside. He's been getting along with their leader Joker, who's excellent skill sets and Persona make him a worthy ally to call upon whenever Greeds start invading the pantheon.

Update on the Winters

Ethan and Mia Winters, Divine Couple of Being Alone with Psychopaths

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/img_4909.PNG
Ethan Winters
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/mia_winters_in_farm_house.jpg
Mia Winters
  • Potential House: ?
  • Lesser Deities
  • Symbol: A wristwatch and a collection of different weapons.
  • Alignment: Neutral Good (Mia used to be True Neutral)
  • Portfolio: Action Survivor, Happily Married, Zombie Infectee
  • Domains: Survivals, Infection, Couples, Psychopaths
  • Allies: Chris Redfield, Joe Baker, Claire Redfield, Leon S. Kennedy, Ash Williams, James Sunderland
  • Enemies: Eveline, Lucas Baker, Albert Wesker, Evan Machillan, Leatherface
  • Pity: Jack and Marguerite Baker
  • Conflicting Opinion: Alma Wade
  • Ethan and Mia were a seemingly normal and happy couple living a quiet life where Ethan worked as a systems engineer. Unbeknownst to him, Mia was actually a trained agent of a secret organization by the name of "The Connections" and around 2014 she was tasked with carrying a secret weapon towards the Connections' secret base in Central America but E-001 weapon broke free and stranded the ship somewhere in the state of Lousiana. The E-001, also known as Eveline, grew fond of Mia and brainwashed her to become her mother. Having gone missing for 3 years and believed to be dead, Ethan received an e-mail from his supposedly dead wife that she was alive and currently in the south of the country at a place called the Baker Estate. That's when Ethan ventured there to rescue his wife and he wasn't prepared for the horrors that awaited him.
    • Both Ethan and Mia had to survive a huge mansion where an insane family lived, The Bakers. Ethan's arrival put an end to the Bakers' depraved activities but that was beyond their control as they too fell victim to Eveline's infection. Having almost lost his wife to the mold infection, Ethan confronted Eveline, now rapidly aged to the body of an old woman, and put an end to her, not before going down without a fight. Having managed to overcome not only the bakers but also the traps, infested molded creatures and even Eveline's mind control and powers, Ethan was awarded with godhood. He was also joined by Mia, who also managed to survive the Bakers and even for three years straight.
  • Ever since escaping the Baker Estate, the two wanted to live a more quiet life away from any monster or biological monstrosity that their universe is always full of and get a second chance at their marriage. The Winters definitely never expected to be in the pantheon but they don't mind being here, save for a handful of dangerous folks being present in certain sections. Chris Redfield saw the need to welcome both Ethan and Mia to the Pantheon and inform them of how the Pantheon operates.
  • They were mortified when Eveline appeared before them with the intention of infecting them once again but her attempts were cut short by a timely intervention from GUAG. Eveline is naturally upset that Ethan killed her and Mia kept rejecting her and the Winters were also horrified to learn that the Bakers were alive and still under the control of Evie. Well, they feel sorry for Jack and Marguerite (whenever they aren't trying to kill them, considering they remember what Ethan did to them) but for Lucas they feel nothing but disgust.
  • From Chris Redfield they managed to meet a handful of his allies and partners like his sister Claire, Leon S. Kennedy and Jill Valentine who all had several encounters with Bioweapons and other creatures. Jill and Chris can certainly relate to being stuck in a mansion full of monsters and strange puzzles and when they heard of the owner of said home, Lord Ozwell Spencer, being a deity, the Winters decided to stay as far away from him and any place he frequents as possible.
    • Another deity Chris told the two to try to avoid is Albert Wesker, considering the fact that he is usually keeping tabs with anything related to Bioweapons and Viruses and the incident in the Baker Estate would be another thing Wesker would gladly want to know more about. In this case, it seems Mia knew about him beforehand as the Connections she worked for had ties to Wesker but so far she decided to stay as far away from her old life as possible.
  • Joe Baker went to thank Ethan for sending help for his niece Zoe and helping her survive the ordeal with her family. Both Ethan and Mia were happy to know that thanks to Joe she managed to survive and surprised that Jack managed to survive way after Eveline was killed.
  • Ethan's story has been compared to that of James Sunderland, a man whose missing wife sends them a letter years after they were gone from a strange location and they set off to investigate. However, James' story has a darker twist considering he killed his wife and went to Silent Hill because of guilt while Ethan went to Louisiana to find Mia and he did while uncovering a darker truth. Ethan and Mia are somewhat friends with James and can relate to his ordeal and having made mistakes in the past but can't really condone what he did.

@Siegfried I had this issue for like five years now. It mostly happens outside TV Tropes since I don't interact here often, usually on discord. That being said however, I was kicked from one discord server a while ago which I did not take well, and took my frustration out on many sites I'm in, including here. That's what prompted me to abandon the profile right there because I thought I was no longer needed.

As for the profile itself, sorry, but I ran into the same problem. I couldn't think of other good interactions for Kou outside the obvious.

I know there was something about interactions with other gods with Creepily Long Arms, but I cannot really think of anything specific.

Hassan of the Cursed Arm, God of Creepily Long Arms (Hassan-i-Sabbah, Old Man of the Mountain, Hanam, True Assassin)

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/40_hassan_of_the_cursed_arm_assassin_4.png
  • Lesser God
  • Symbol: Shaytan's Arm
  • Alignment: Lawful Evil (officially)
  • Portfolio: One of the Old Men of the Mountain, Creepily Long Arms, Destroying Target's Heart, Consummate Professional, All-Encompassing Mantle, Throwing Dirks, Sacrificing Everything to Make His Mark in History Only to Not Get What He Wanted
  • Domains: Assassins, Limbs, Cloaks, Knives
  • Superior: The Great Founder (First Hassan)
  • Allies: Ritsuka Fujimaru, Ezio Auditore da Firenze
  • Opposed by: Medea, Souichirou Kuzuki, Cu Chulainn
  • Enemies: Kirei Kotomine
  • Wary about: Mordred, Sir Gawain
  • Rivals: Kano (one-sided)
  • Former Master: Zouken Matou
  • One of the 19 people who carried the name of Hassan-i-Sabbah. Originally he was a normal man named Hanam until he strived to make his mark in history. Abandoning his old life, he devoted his body and life into becoming the next Old Man of the Mountain, the leader of Hashshashin. Ultimately he was simply recorded in history as being just one of the Hassans without being anything remarkable otherwise.
  • In order to become Hassan, he heavily modified his body to enhance his physical skills, leaving him limb elongated and the rest of his body skeletal. He has also more or less destroyed his face beneath his mask. Most important part of him is that he sealed the demon Shaytan into his right arm, thus leaving it as a incredibly long, red arm that is longer than his already tall body.
    • Thanks to Shaytan's curse, he was able to develop his very own Zabaniya, a killing technique each Hassan has to have. His is Delusional Heartbeat which allows him to create a replica of the opponent's heart, allowing him to either destroy the fake heart to destroy the real one or switch the target's real heart with the fake one, thus allowing him to consume it for intelligence (though he doesn't have much need to it now).
  • Don't let his appearance and alignment fool you, he is not as bad as he seems. He might have been a leader of a group of assassins, but he deep down a decent guy. He is loyal to whomever he might be serving and if given a chance, he might be able to become The Cowl.
  • In terms of relations to those involved in the Fifth Holy Grail War, he has tried to have no hard feelings to those involved. While he has been able to make aments to likes of Shirou, Artoria Pendragon and Medusa, he hasn't been able to make much progress with likes of Medea, Souichirou and Cu (though latter would rather just have a rematch with him). In regards to his former Master Zouken, while he has always related to him, he probably isn't trying to make any long-lasting relationships anymore.
  • Is honestly impressed how much more easily Sakuya Izayoi can go around picking up her knives. She has the cover of time stop to pick them up while he has no such luxury when it comes to his dirks.
  • As the leader of the organization which became the origin for the word "assassin", he has to bow his head to Ezio. Of course he can't say much else about the origins of the Brotherhood since he was born after the Third Crusade.
  • Kano is impressed by the fact that he can destroy person's heart without even needing to pull it out and wants to trade few pointers between fellow killers. Cursed Arm is not really pleased with Kano's formalities with him and probably would take his crack at destroying the Black Dragon if given the chance.
  • Has personal problem with Gawain and Mordred due of them willingly following the Lion King in taking over Jerusalem and threatening the people he was meant to protect. Still, he realizes that Gawain is simply extremely loyal and is otherwise a good person and Mordred just wants her "father's" approval, so he is trying to let it slide as long as it doesn't happen again. Also to note that he has nothing against Lancelot since he turned against the Lion King on his own.

Continue the bloodline, Fujimaru!

Chirin again. I wasn't really able to integrate all the suggestions I got properly. In any case, any more suggestions for him or does he look good to go?

Chirin, God of Failed Redemptions

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/chirin_no_suzu_2758.jpg
Chirin as a lamb
Chirin as an adult 
  • Demigod
  • Symbol: His bell
  • Theme Music: Chirin no Suzu
  • Alignment: True Neutral (started and ended as such; made a failed attempt at Chaotic Good that caused him to be Chaotic Evil temporarily)
  • Portfolio: Failure Hero, Used to Be a Sweet Kid, He Who Fights Monsters, Ascended to Carnivorism, Meaningful Name
  • Domains: Growth, Emotion, Tragedy
  • Foil to: Bambi
  • On Good Terms with: Ampharos, Hamlet
  • Hates: Dag, The Worms, Wolf O'Donnell, Zinogre
  • Unsure of: Ralph Wolf & Sam Sheepdog
  • Sympathy from: Fluttershy
  • Once upon a time, there was a little lamb named Chirin. Life was peaceful for him until a wolf attacked his home and his mother died protecting him. Consumed by grief and revenge, Chirin set out to confront the wolf, but the wolf didn't take him seriously at first. Eventually, the wolf trained Chirin to become as vicious as him and as an adult, Chirin has grown to become a fearsome ram going about killing other animals with the wolf. Chirin and the wolf returned to the farm and after Chirin hesitated, the two end up fighting each other, culminating in Chirin killing the wolf. Unfortunately, the sheep are too terrified to believe that the very same ram was Chirin, prompting them to shut the door on him trying to be accepted back into the farm. With no one left to turn to, Chirin was left to wander alone on the mountains, living (and most likely dying) unhappily ever after.
  • A group of deities traversed an icy mountain one day, hoping to find something valuable to take to the Pantheon. Some of them found an animal frozen in ice and were allowed to take that animal with them after convincing some of the other deities that were part of the group. After the expedition was over, the animal was still frozen solid, prompting some to thaw it out. The animal turned out to be a ram, which prompted some concerns that it might attack, but it turned out not only was the ram able to talk, but he was very lonely and despondent about what he had done previously. The ram explained his story to him and the reaction was generally that of sympathy, with some of the group members opting to get Chirin as he was called into the Pantheon and hope that his life there will be better than what he had gone through before.
  • Bambi has seen Chirin and how he attempted to handle the loss of his mother as a sort of dark reflection of what his life could end up being like. Whereas Bambi had his friends and the Great Prince of the Forest to help him through his life, Chirin didn't have many friends and ended up turning to the wolf that killed his mother to become stronger, resulting in Chirin giving up his innocence entirely in an attempt to become something he wasn't supposed to be. During his time in the Pantheon, Bambi knew that some humans weren't entirely bad and most of his animosity is directed towards the truly vile ones, whereas Chirin apparently never had any human contact prior and Chirin is mostly distrustful towards the species that killed his mother despite some wolves not being malicious. While a bit unnerved by Chirin's appearance as an adult at first, Bambi is hoping to at least have Chirin open up more to try and move on from the grief the ram has suffered.
  • He isn't what one would call a bad animal in the long run, but it's more than clear that he's heavily affected from his experiences. There's more than a handful of animal-lovers that have expressed interest in getting Chirin to recover even if he has the fearsome appearance of a ram. Fluttershy, having had experience in getting unruly animals to calm down, is among those who have taken up on said job and get Chirin to understand that even if he sees himself as a monster, he's not alone and that there's always someone that will understand his pain.
  • Chirin spent some of his time wandering around the Pantheon hoping to find additional sheep that he can meet without having any problems happen. Such an opportunity would happen through Ampharos and although it wasn't apparent at first, the Pokemon was considered a sheep. Ampharos wasn't sure what to make of Chirin at first, but Chirin took the time to talk about his ordeal and how he tried and failed to return to the home and sheep he once knew. Thankfully for Chirin, Ampharos was understanding of his predicament, even if Chirin found the Pokemon's electrical powers to be a bit dangerous. Both have left each other on amicable terms, with Chirin seeing Ampharos as sort of a big brother to him and hoping to continue his friendship with it.
  • Having witnessed his mother die, Chirin has become rather apprehensive of seeing other deities that have killed sheep in the past. This ended up turning into anger after learning about the Worms' various skirmishes and how they use exploding sheep as a weapon. Seeing them trivialize a bunch of dead sheep just for meaningless battles set off Chirin and he ended up attacking their place in a rage before he got driven out by some of the Worms' various weapons (which included the aforementioned exploding sheep). Chirin remains distraught at seeing his mother die in the past and as much as he would prefer to stay away from the Worms' and their chaos, them using exploding sheep for fun was something he couldn't accept at all.
  • Wolves have been a significant sore spot for him given that it's the creature that killed his mother and caused a lot of his misery afterwards. The fact that there were a number of wolves in the Pantheon unnerved Chirin greatly and while some of them are nowhere near as brutal as the one he had encountered prior, he still has issues with certain ones. Wolf O'Donnell is one wolf that Chirin detests as despite the former having some standards, it doesn't change the fact that he's a bounty hunter that has done some dirty work in the past and is likely more dangerous in terms of skill than the wolf Chirin dealt with. Chirin is far more afraid of Zinogre as that wolf's size and powers meant that Chirin couldn't do anything but flee from the monster when it was on a rampage and targeting him.
  • In a more general sense, predators overall are a group of animals that Chirin just doesn't want to associate himself with in any way. While trying to get himself accustomed back to farm life one night, Dag was outside that property looking to eat some animals there. Chirin heard some screams and when he found the source, he saw a coyote preparing to eat some yellow ducklings, which fled as Dag took notice of the ram in front of him. What Chirin saw with his eyes was a potentially more psychotic version of the wolf that ruined his life, but Dag simply saw more food waiting to be eaten and a fight ensued. Chirin endured some claw marks and Dag was thrown around a few times before retreating upon hearing some people coming and wondering what was happening. Chirin was more than upset to see someone like Dag and the coyote was more than willing to head to wherever Chirin is at and finish what he started.
  • Seeing Ralph Wolf & Sam Sheepdog during one of their daily routines was something that affected Chirin greatly. He had been highly accustomed to seeing wolves as vicious predators that attack sheep without remorse, but Ralph really only went after sheep as a job, with Sam following his orders to thwart Ralph's schemes as a job as well. While witnessing one of the pair's daily routines, Chirin couldn't believe that he was seeing someone who goes after sheep and someone who defends said animals get along well whenever they're off the job. While Chirin came dangerously close to getting himself involved in the pair's routine to try and attack Ralph, Chirin decided against it as seeing sworn enemies get along with each other was something new to him and friendship might have been something that would have made his life less miserable. That said, he's still ambivalent about the duo's occupation and how it involves sheep being at risk.
  • Revenge was the primary motivator for Chirin's adventures and one that would damage him greatly afterwards despite being able to successfully enact his revenge. Deities who have experienced revenge as a prominent part of their adventures definitely had something to say about Chirin, but it was those that had revenge irrevocably shatter their lives for worse that had something significant to say. Chirin could relate himself to Hamlet given how they wanted vengeance after their family members were murdered in cold blood, though Chirin was a lot more upfront about getting it achieved compared to Hamlet who had plenty of internal struggles about it. Hamlet is relatively sympathetic to what Chirin had gone through, though he felt that even if he was more decisive about what he wanted to do akin to Chirin, things still wouldn't end well for Hamlet.

What more should I add to Lars

Lars Fillmore, God of Temporal Duplicates (originally Philip J Fry)

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/lars_fillmore.png
  • House: Time Manipulation (House of Time and Space)
  • Demigod
  • Symbol: An old photo of himself, Fry and Leela
  • Theme Song: 30th Century Man by Scott Walker
  • Alignment: Neutral Good
  • Portfolio: Walking Spoiler, an Older and Wiser Alternate Self of Fry, Living Paradox Duplicate (Which He Didn't Know For 12 Years), Sort Of Future Badass, Bald Of Awesome, Rival Of Affection For His Original Self, Doomed Because Of His Paradoxical Nature, Heroic Sacrifice, Being The Source Of The Time Code That Created Him, Temporal Paradox
  • Domains: Time Travel, Copies, Alternate Paths, The Head Museum, Love, Reveals
  • Special relationship with: Philip J Fry (his original/alternate self)
  • Allies: Fry's allies(especially Leela and Rory Williams), both Trunks, Flash Thompson, George, Tenri Ayukawa
  • On good terms with: Mariente Dupain-Cheng and Adrian Agreste, Anzu Mazaki
  • On speaking terms with: Ben Tennyson
  • Enemies: Fry's enemies, The Hounds of Tindalos, The Dehaka, Fused Zamasu, Eobard Thawne, Randall Ross, Nerif the Oracle, Porky Minch
  • Opposes: EMIYA
  • Sympathy for the Devil for: Nox
  • Avoids: Funny Valentine
  • Pitied by: The Doctor
  • The Time Code allows one to ignore temporal paradoxes and go back in time, at the cost of being one way. When Fry was being chased by the scammers and sick of how Leela was dating Lars Fillmore, leading to him going back to half an hour after he was originally frozen. He used the time code to get pizza and created a copy of himself. The original Fry fell into the same tube the earliest version was in to return, the copy spent 12 years having to deal with unrequited love. Then after his larynx was burned and hair burned off, he realize he was Lars, and re-froze himself to meet Leela again.
  • By his nature a paradox, though it wasn't until his wedding that Lars learned he was a doomed duplicate which is why he broke it off. He sacrificed himself to save Leela from Nudar with a doomed Bender duplicate. The Pantheonic Time Police was initially apprehensive of a living paradox like Lars ascending, but as he's otherwise harmless and fits the trope of Temporal Duplication his revival was permitted. While he's been restored, Lars has accepted he won't be able to be back with Leela as she's together with the original Fry.
  • As he and Fry were the same entity for 33 years(technically 1033), Fry's allies and enemies are his allies and enemies. Besides Leela, he has a further appreciation of Rory due to how the flow of time has made him pine particularly hard for his beloved. While 50 biologically, Lars has spent an extra 1990 years of his life frozen. 988 of those involved three versions of the same person in the same facility.
  • The Doctor pities Lars' situation as a doomed clone. He was forced to remove the Older Amy to save her younger self, after all, he doesn't like how the laws of time made Lars doomed. In turn, Lars has some sympathy for Nox as all the effort in time travel made to save his family was All for Nothing. That said, he doesn't approve of what he did.
  • Because Lars Fillmore's existence is temporal and ontological (twice!) paradox, Clock Roaches despise him. The Hounds of Tindalos and the Dehaka have tried to hunt him down. Lars would also be destroyed if he touches Fry, though only if Funny Valentine and his Stand is in the proximity. So he tends to avoid being anywhere near the 23rd president.
  • Though a paradox, Lars would rather not mess with time. He became a duplicate in the first place because he didn't want to abuse the time code for pizza like Fry. As such, he doesn't like how Nerif the Oracle caused a Reality-Breaking Paradox. He also hates how Randall Ross tried to use time travel to destroy time itself. On the other side of the coin, Zamasu is disgusted by Lars' very existence due to the time code, and Lars considers him reprehensibly evil.
  • Lars really doesn't like how remorseless Eobard Thawne abuses time travel and changing things to get whatever his selfish heart desires, along with having Yandere tendencies to boot. The Reverse-Flash regards Lars as suffering from a sore lack of ambition for a living paradox like himself, and prides being able to break and twist history without repercussion.
  • George's hatred of how confusing and messy time travel has Lars' sympathy given the complicated relationship he had to Fry, and wants to see if he can help. Due to that complicated relationship he has with Fry and how it's complicated their love life, he can relate to Anzu's feelings towards and alter ego, and the weird two person love triangle that Mariente and Adrian have.
  • Lars' sympathies are with Tenri due to her unrequited love, and the fact that as both Lars and Fry he had the belief of wanting his beloved to be happy, though with a twist due to his nature. During his new existence, Lars Fillmore was a whale caretaker and head feeder of the head museum. He's met the jarred heads of a number of historical figures, though the versions ascended have different recollections to what he's used to. But they do appreciate the job he held. He also does jar jobs for people who get decapitated.
  • Interested to learn of a number of deities who've met their time-displaced selves. He was interested to see that the two Trunks in the pantheon share a similar dynamic to him and Fry, with one being immature and the other Older and Wiser. He appreciates how Flash Thompson matured and mellowed over time. He also finds Ben's interactions with various future selves of his to be interesting. On the other side of the coin, Lars Fillmore was disturbed by how psychotically childish and malicious Porky Minch became through his abuse of time travel, never maturing like Lars did.
  • Finds EMIYA quite abrasive; sure, even he somewhat dislikes his other self but at least he didn't try to outright kill him out of shame which EMIYA did, only it was out of wanting to die for good . EMIYA understands Lars' reasons but was still irked that the latter is attempting to achieve something that will never be fulfilled, not unlike his own goal.

@r-lock: Here's my input on Chirin that you may have missed.

Add Sheep, Vengeance, and Wolf as his Domains.

There are these, too.

  • Is surprised to see that there are those who would accept him despite his form, some even weeping for him.
  • A few detractors think he should've killed those sheep when Wor told him to.
  • Having had to hold vengeance in his heart for a long time (even though it's not the same as Chirin's 3 years), Ken Amada understands what Chirin felt.

I think there are more particulars than just Hamlet, you know. But yes, Hamlet is a perfect example.

And finally...

Hagrid would find him a curiousity and would likely see no problem with him at all.

I'm certain Eliza Thornberry would be afraid of Chirin at first before her fellow animal caretakers convince her to give him a chance.

As someone who's "worked" as a sheepdog, Babe would be terrified of Chirin. I don't know if he'll eventually accept and befriend him, though.

Given how he's failed to be a hero before (a.k.a. the bird's nest incident), some would likely want to keep their young, especially eggs, away from him. The Angry Birds flock would also find him unworthy of protecting their eggs if it ever comes down to it even if they've already been transferred a long time ago.

Also, your entries for Chirin are all very word-y. Just saying.

I sincerely wish you will eventually get around reworking Bambi.

Since we’re talking Resident Evil 7, I have something VERY relevant regarding Chris Redfield.

The ending and DLC were so confusing that the author had to personally step in and explain stuff via Word of God.

1. Resident Evil 7 is in the main timeline.

2. Chris Redfield is NOT a member of Umbrella. He was a CONSULTANT to the “Blue Umbrella” operatives trying to fight the BOWS infesting that area.

3. “Blue Umbrella” are Umbrella defectors seeking to atone for the havoc the T and G virus wrecked across the world.
