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

- 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.

I think it's time she come back better. Can you help me?
Rhyme, Goddess of Wistful Amnesia (Skulls Jr., Black, Raimu Bito)
- Demigoddess
- Returning To: Memories
- s:
- Symbol: Her bell necklace
- Alignment: Neutral Good
- Portfolio: Big Brother Worship, Bokukko, Satellite Character, kindness and blonde hair, contented youth, Morality Pet, Sacrificial Lamb, being Only Mostly Dead, Parental Favoritism, Summon Magic
- Domains: Knowledge, Amnesia, Hopes, Dreams
- High Priest: Tatsuya Kaname
- Allies: Beat (her brother), Neku Sakuraba, Shiki Misaki, Joshua, Sora, Riku, Doreen Green, Makoto Nanaya, Yu Narukami, Nanako and Ryotaro Dojima, Sojiro Sakura, Ice King
- Opposes: Sho Minamimoto, Master Xehanort and his cohorts
- Rhyme was a kid with hopes and dreams for the future, and she looked up to her brother despite all his shortcomings. Then they took a car to their entire bodies, taking them straight to the Reaper's Game, and with Rhyme without her memories. It was there that they met Neku and Shiki. A lot of things happened during the game and its extra two weeks, such as Rhyme's Erasure, returning as a Noise for Beat to Partner with in order to continue existing, and eventually being revived by the end of the whole Reaper's Game business.
- A while after returning to the Pantheon, Joshua channeled Rhyme's dreams again, to allow her to enter the Pantheon. Beat was overjoyed and waited by Joshua's side so that he could immediately greet his sister. The joy was mutual, as Rhyme was also overjoyed to see her elder brother. Thanks to Beat winning the Reapers' Game, she'd regained her memories of him.
- Unfortunately, she's implied to have no specific hopes or dreams for the future, due to losing the Reapers' Game, even though she technically didn't get erased. It reminds her of the time she spent in Traverse Town without her memories. As stated in a document in her homeworld though, a void in one's heart can be refilled as long as one enjoys the present. So Rhyme doesn't let this get her down. She's even found a new goal:
- Being the nice person she is, Rhyme decided that she'd like to do what she can do jog her followers' memories, and help them out beyond that.
- Some gods in the Pantheon mistook her for a boy at first, until she spoke. Their reasoning was that while Rhyme isn't necessarily unfeminine, the gods from Square-Enix media tend to look feminine.
- To better defend herself in the Pantheon, Joshua gifted her a couple Pins she can use for Psyches, and she seems to be able to handle them well. After all, she had to have been a reliable enough Partner for Beat given how Noise battles in the UG work. Neku and Shiki were just never there to see it until now.
- Her fondness for repeating quotes and adages reminds Solid Snake of Mei Ling, and old ally of his. He suspects they'd get along.
- Experiences a strange familiarity whenever she's in the presence of Doreen Green. This is because Rhyme spent two weeks as a Squirrel Noise, but she doesn't remember any of that.
- The two have become friends, and Rhyme has also become friends with Makoto Nanaya.
- Alongside Beat, she's become fast friends with Yu Narukami. She's even voiced her opinion that sometimes one of the two boys reminds her of the other. Naturally, she also befriended the Dojimas Yu lived with during his time at Inaba.
- Since Beat's become a frequent visitor of Leblanc, Rhyme has also gotten acquainted with Sojiro.
- Rhyme has a tendency to secretly take away Beat's belongings whenever she feels that they're distracting him from an important task at hand.
- With Rhyme's ascension, Shiki is the last one of Neku's friends to ascend, should she ever. Except it turns out Shiki had already been in the Pantheon before her; it's just that her position had been "overridden" by another, and then that representative goddess left it to join her group, and, well... go check Shiki's profile for what exactly happened.
- She was surprised when one of her followers, Ice King, ascended. The two have spent more time together since then. Even after he's turned back to Simon Petrikov.

- Enemies: Ouroboros, Airy, Nui Harime, Kyubey, Marx, The Crow, The Dahaka
- Magnolia: all malicious moon-destroyers
- After their epic battle against Ouroboros, Cosmos saw it fit to ascend Tiz, Agnès, Ringabel, and Edea to the Pantheon, but could not find a trope that wasn't taken. After having the Court of the Gods review their battle mechanics, it was decided that Elzam von Branstein should surrender one of his titles for them to inherit. The reason why is because their Theme Music Power-Up is more than just for cosmetic effect; it comes with stat buffs as long as the music lasts, and if another Theme plays before that, the effects stack until the song ends.
- For his part, Elzam doesn't mind; after all, his theme song still overrides all others when he feels like it. And they're on the same Grand United Alliance, so it's all good.
- However, some time anomaly-related stuff prevented them from interacting much with the Pantheon as they shortly vanished after a while. Having acquainted himself with the party before then, Bartz decided to start a search, and got assistance from the Pantheonic Time Police of all people. As it turns out, their ascension had been a bit premature, as their story had yet to be properly concluded due to crossing multiple alternate timelines.
- After eventually finding them again, and witnessing their further adventures, the Court of the Gods sent a few envoys, (Insert Name Here) among them, to meet with the Planeswardens, where Ringabel has since ended up and negotiated with them regarding Luxendarc's heroes that the Celestial known as the Player (who happens to be an avatar of INH) has guided.
- And so eventually, not only were the four brought to the Pantheon once again, but two others who replaced the ones unable to participate in the second adventure, Yew and Magnolia, joined them as fellow deities.
- Applies to all of them:
- The first thing that was arranged after their re-ascension (regular in the case of Magnolia and Yew) was a ceremony for Agnès and Tiz to commemorate their marriage at the end of the second adventure. Edea and Ringabel haven't reached that stage of their relationship yet, and the newcomers only just started getting together mainly due to Yew's initial inability to articulate his feelings.
- Eventually had an encounter with The Player who has secretly guided them through their journeys from afar, who happens to be (Insert Name Here), and they were surprised to find that INH was (usually) a human just like them.
- In their inventory, they carried Asterisks, artifacts that bestow unique powers to those who possess them. It is the source of all the party's Job Classes. They can also trap foes inside "asterisk space" with them to prevent their escape, though at the risk of losing their Asterisks to them should the party fall.
- And that's why they decided to store those away to the Treasury; besides, thanks to their being deities, and a few favors from Bartz, they don't need Asterisks anymore to change Job Classes.
- Thanks to having possessed the Catmancer Asterisk, the Second party (i.e. excepting Agnès and Ringabel) have the ability to speak to cats (at least those who can't already communicate with them).
- Throughout their adventures, they have encountered all sorts of atrocities by way of Asterisk Holders that they've had to combat and naturally are in great opposition to similar folk in the Pantheon, even though most of them have since turned over new leaves. Particulars are...
- Those who use healing/revival powers to prolong the pain they dish out on their victims (Holly and Geist)
- Reckless arsonists (Ominas)
- Those who prioritize profits at the expense of the populace, especially when it comes to water (Khamer & Profiteur Mechantry)
- Mercenaries who either ditch their client when the going gets tough or let their greed for an exorbitant bounty win them to the bitter end (Khint)
- Those who use their crappy childhoods to justify their misdeeds (Jackal)
- Those who use fragrances to hypnotize those who smell it into doing all sorts of terrible things, such as being victim to Date Rape, or even getting children to kill each other (De Rosa and Mephilia)
- Instigators of civil war and child slavery (Black Blades)
- Those who use bioweapons, especially if there's little care for casualties on both sides (Qada)
- Those who don't realize or turn a blind eye to their subordinates' atrocities (Braev, Edea's father). To his credit, she was meant to be their Internal Reformist, but Edea's inexperience, lack of ability to control them, and naïvete caused her to defect to Agnès instead. And in alternate timelines where she doesn't, she gets killed.
- Those who could so so much more if they weren't too damn dedicated to a very blatant psycho (and said psycho, of course) (Victor and Victoria)
- Those keeping alive someone who really wanted to die to end their torment (Victor and Victoria again)
- Those who prioritize their vengeance above all else to the point of risking it becoming cyclical (Janne)
- Those who can directly employ little critters for assassinations (Minette)
- Chefs whose food can brainwash or even render comatose those who eat it, or worse (Angelo)
- That isn't to say there aren't others, however. Such as...
- Religions that capitalize on an epidemic to instill fear and obedience to whoever will remain (the Crystal Orthodoxy)
- Those who believe Dystopia Justifies the Means (Ouroboros)
- Those who enjoy witnessing despair (Providence)
- The team has... issues with cute things that turn out to be evil. Long, spoileriffic story. Well, not so much for Yew and Magnolia, but they share the issues, too. Thus, they take special ire with Nui Harime. And don't get Edea started on Kyubey. She nearly gave herself a migraine trying to understand his Well-Intentioned Extremist Blue-and-Orange Morality, and the fact they sound so much alike certainly doesn't help.
- Thanks to shards from Agnès' old pendant, the group are perfectly familiar with the concept of long-distance communication. But at least the methods available in the Pantheon are more safely portable and convenient.
- The Default party (i.e. everyone sans Yew and Magnolia) had a collective heart attack when they thought they heard the voice of Airy in the halls of the Pantheon. It turned out it was just Yui Hirasawa of Houkago Tea Time passing through. Then they learned the fairy had actually ascended without their knowledge. They were less than pleased with the news. Yew and Magnolia only interacted with said fairy's sister, not that she was any better, so...
- Having technically "escaped" from a Bad Future timeline after failing to stop the Glanz Empire from completing its mission, which resulted in time stopping, the moon's destruction, and giant abominations rampaging all over Luxendarc, the Second party get along swimmingly with Lucina, a similar warrior who underwent a similar struggle. And Owain to a similar extent.
- For desiring to change their history, they also get along with Crono and his friends.
- When it comes to coffee: Ringabel likes his black. Tiz takes his with milk and two lumps of sugar, Agnès drinks tea instead, and Edea puts enough sugar in her coffee that it's practically a grainy slush.
- If an opponent has a truly good reason to oppose them, they want to know why and not simply be rebuffed for their "naivete"; too many of the bosses they fought in their home realms come off as preferring to die rather than admit their mistakes as a result.
- An animated suit of armor isn't new for the Second party, but their first encounter with Alphonse Elric was when he was in his Animated Armor mode, and it brought unsettling memories. Thankfully, Al is a much nicer person even after the (initial) loss of his body, and he does have a human body he's since gotten back thanks to his brother Edward.
- Having faced off against Praline a la Mode, and having possessed her Performer Asterisk themselves at separate points, the group do not take users of Magic Music lightly.
- Exclusive to Tiz:
- possible connection with Link, who also underwent a deep sleep, though much longer than Tiz
- At least one person has asked Tiz about New Norende's potential..."black market" connections given all the extremely rare items the party earns/buys from them as the town slowly gets restored. He doesn't get what they're implying.
- Possibly has some form of Jedi Mind Trick that lowers the rate of Random Encounters.
- Exclusive to Agnès:
- As someone whose pilgrimage of prayer on behalf of a religion also held surprising dark secrets, she gets along well with Yuna.
- Has favorable relations with Good-aligned deities in the House of Faith duento her tenure as a Pope.
- Used to be a vegan, but eventually abandoned this after a long period out at sea with little to eat, and being forced to subsist on fish and being broken out of her mindset by Ringabel.
- Exclusive to Ringabel:
- People who know about his previous life as Alternis find it confusing as to how be became The Dandy when he was never so much as one before. It's implied that after his amnesia hit, Ringabel read his journal full of flowery declarations of love for Edea, and assumed he must be a dandy.
- As a fellow Chivalrous Pervert who is very carefree but has a case of Hidden Depths as well as a case of amnesia that prevents them from remember where they came from as well as being quick in battle and being craft, not to mention being from a world different from where they were introduced in, Ringabel hits it off very well with Zidane.
- During the party's brief time in the Pantheon before disappearing for a while, Ringabel spent a good amount of time in the house of Love, much to Edea's chagrin. Nowadays, he still goes there... this time, with her, as she insisted on making up for all the lost time he's been away as the Planeswarden and will be for the next adventure with all sorts of... activities, and she'll pull him back on track should he get distracted.
- Exclusive to Edea:
- Squall Leonhart was among the first to visit her, assuming that his Matron had arrived. Of course, it was quickly shown to not be the case, but if Cosmos saw the party worthy, he would evaluate them for himself.
- Despises those who use Just Following Orders as an excuse for committing atrocities.
- Is such a terrible cook that someone she cooked them food to fed it to a dog, which gave it to a cat, which dumped it to a crow. Thankfully, she's not touched Mystery Food X, and she at least has the foresight to know even that is not something meant for eating.
- In her endeavors during the Glanz Empire's attack, she had to learn to make hard choices when it comes to politics, relief efforts, people's life choices, The Needs of the Many, and so on. Some choices had no right answer, some had clearly wrong answers, some manage to solve both problems,
- Exclusive to Yew:
- reference to another Yu who can sound just like him.
- While Yew's food tastes good, his cooking lacks variety, as all of his dishes are loaded with garlic and he only uses simple sauces.
- Yew doesn't like Liquid Snake for not only his desire to spend chaos and shatter peace, the fact that he sounds like his brother doesn't help. Would Liquid taunt him by screaming "BRRRROOOOOTTTTHHHEEEEEERRRR!" at him?
- Ever since getting shot from halfway across the world by Aimee Matchlock, the more implausible a sniper's skill is, the more Yew is afraid of them, only less so if the sniper's on the good side.
- Exclusive to Magnolia:
- As someone who came from the moon, she gets along with some deities dedicated to it, and opposes all who seek to destroy it as it had already been done in one failed timeline.
- Only Yew knows her real name as people in the Moon only tell it to the one they marry. Not even the Celestial (the Player) knows, since they're not marrying Magnolia.
(Note: talking about making Rose Quartz High Priestess to Maria Robotnik)
I think we can make an exception for Rose in this case, considering Posthumous Character involves already dead characters and Rose is like, double dead, and the fact she's dead for real has a huge impact on SU's story and characters. It's why I said "as contradictory as it sounds", since Rose is dead in a way other dead characters aren't, but that way makes her much more eligible. Sure, she wouldn't be able to be called upon if something happened to Maria, but it's the thought that counts, right?

Jawbreakers on sale for 99¢If we bring back Rose, we're gonna have a lot of people who are gonna have a bone to pick with her... especially after what she did in the movie...
In another few hours, the sun will rise.Oohhh yeah... Honestly why I don't want her to get revived in-show, cause then the next five episodes would just be an hour of back-to-back The Reason You Suck Speeches, and that gets a little boring around the sixth or so time.

IIRC, Hero’s Proof gives +40% ATK and +30% damage reduction against bosses (the guys with the big B marker on their character sheet). Makes him a very effective Boss Killer. Stacks with “I Won’t Lose”, a nasty little “Rage Type” ability that increases damage output by 40% when under half health.
Draft 2 of Maria Robotnik! Did I miss anyone’s suggestion?
Maria Robotnik, Goddess Of Characters Dead Before The Story Even Begins
- Potential House: Death Archetypes
- s:
- Ascending/Rework Done on: ??? ?? (repost on ??? ??)
- Quasideity
- Symbol: Her blue hairband
- Theme Song: Reflection
- Alignment: Lawful Good
- Portfolio: Moral link for Shadow and Gerald, being dead before Shadow's story started and having her death start the story, kind hearted blonde haired girl named Maria, sending Shadow to Earth at the cost of her own life, having a deadly disease, being aware of her grandfather's actions with Black Doom, only nice person from the Robotnik family line
- Domains: Death, Humanity, Illnesses
- High Priestess: Rose Quartz
- Special Relations: Dr. Ivo Robotnik (her cousin), Gerald Robotnik (her grandfather)
- Allies: Shadow The Hedgehog, Sonic The Hedgehog, Amy Rose, Count Bleck And Tippi, Madoka Kaname, Asgore Dreemur, The kind patients in the Pantheon
- Enemies: Black Doom, SCP-953, Ragyo, Junko and Monokuma, Nui Harime, Giygas
- Conflicting Opinion: Metal Sonic
- Sometimes, the biggest action a character has in the story is to be dead before it even started. Maria Robotnik was struck with Neuro-Immune Deficiency Syndrome, rendering her weak and slowly dying. Gerald Robotnik, her grandfather, worked on Project Shadow with help from the government and even Black Doom on the Space Colony ARK in order to create a cure for her. However, upon feeling as if Project Shadow was too dangerous, the government sent in soldiers to capture everyone. Maria was able to send Shadow to Earth, but at the cost of her own life, being gunned down afterwards for it, but not before pleading for him to give humans a chance to be happy. This one death set in motion not only Gerald’s start of darkness but also Shadow’s quest for remembering what Maria wanted. It was for this act it was decided to receive a spot here in the Pantheon.
- Sonic took notice of how Shadow was feeling after doing a couple Twitter Takeovers with him, namely after someone decided to be VERY personal with him and hearing about his personal favorite shop, (don’t ask) leading him to suggest to him to try and ascend Maria. Shadow scoffed at Sonic for that idea, asking if he thought he really didn’t try that already. Despite this, he was later seen in the waiting line for the Court of the Gods, requesting Maria’s ascension, stating how much she meant to him despite how they really can’t see that side of her now. Surprised to see Shadow’s usual stoic facade break for once, the court approved of Shadow’s request after a night of mulling it over.
- Hearing nothing from the council, he was startled to find a girl with a blue dress and blonde hair. Thinking it was another prank at first thanks to already being duped by Nui Harime dressing up like her to fool him (with Shadow tossing Chaos Spears into her shoulders to pay her back for that), he remained skeptical until hearing from her mouth that she not only remembered who he was but also her promise to him, her sacrifice, and how proud she was of him. For once, without any shame, the normally emotionless black hedgehog was reduced to tears as hugged onto Maria.
- News of her ascension quickly spread to Ivo and Gerald Robotnik by word of mouth. Ivo quickly cancelled all villainous schemes he had for the day with Bowser and drove off in his egg cruiser at max speed to see if this was true. Realizing the severity of it, Bowser decided to tag along to help clear the air for Ivo’s flight. Despite being repulsed by his Card-Carrying Villain status, she still accepted him as her cousin. This won’t stop her from taking Sonic’s side when it comes to their fights, which Eggman accepted, laughing it off and saying that this was why Gerald loved her so much. Despite this difference in morality, Eggman still orders Metal Sonic from time to time to watch over her.
- Meanwhile, the normally insane Gerald Robotnik, upon reaffirming that what he heard was true, realized that she wouldn’t be proud of him for what he did after she died and spent the day depressed and crying in his temple. Maria, Shadow and even Eggman ended up trekking over to his temple, with Maria being the first one in. Despite his weak protests, Maria still ended up walking over to him...and embracing him, telling him she forgave him for his acts of despair over her death, reaffirming that the good doctor she knows he can be is still there. This only made him cry even more, declaring to her that he will work for the good of mankind like he once did before her death, at the very least, for her sake. He still harbors hatred for the humans that caused her death, but tries to keep it aimed at authority figures and military might.
- Ever since her ascension, Shadow does his best to stay by her side, not only to catch up on lost time with her, but also to make sure that no villainous deity with malicious intention can harm her. Maria doesn’t mind this at all, but still encourages Shadow to live life to its fullest in the Pantheon with his own friends. She has, however decided to at least move into his temple. Given how her temple is in the house of Life And Death, she felt like she’ll be more comfortable not only away from a place that reminded her of her fate, but with her best friend.
- Thankfully, within the Pantheon, her disease was easily taken care of thanks to the advanced work of the finest doctors in the Pantheon, with thanks to Shadow keeping guard over her to make sure any of the more dastardly residents there don’t try anything. During her stay in the hospital to make sure her sickness was permanently removed from her, she ended up meeting with other patients that fallen to various bodily problems. Wally ended up pitying her for failing to conquer her disease, unlike how he managed to survive and get better. She has also expressed pity to Raistlin Majere for how he is still stuck with his Incurable Cough of Death as the catch to enter the Pantheon. While at first feeling sorry for Yuuki Konno for losing her real life body and being stuck in her online avatar, she quickly changed her mind and thought of her as lucky after hearing the condition her real life body was in. She was glad to hear that Madeline managed to survive her medical malady and is still alive to this day.
- She managed to make her rounds and meet up with Sonic and his other friends. She is thankful for the hedgehog stopping her cousin's schemes of turning nature into machine, as Sonic just gave her a soft chuckle and thumbs up, alongside being willing to share embarrasing stories of Shadow whenever he sees fit, much to his ire. She is more attached to Amy Rose however, after hearing from Shadow how she was what ultimately led him back on the path Maria wanted him on. She gave the pink hedgehog not only her praise, but her support in trying to get togehter with Sonic. Sonic could only facepalm and run away after hearing this from Amy and being questioned by Maria what he likes most about Amy. Shadow only watched on in the sidelines, giving off a chuckle.
- It should be clear as day, but if Shadow was willing to destroy the human race and Gerald Robotnik was willing to perform a Colony Drop for revenge because Maria was killed, trying to harm her, let alone kill her is a instant death sentence courtesy of Shadow, Gerald, or both if you’re unlucky, regardless of rank. After hearing how Gerald Robotnik dropped out of the Grand United Alliance of Evil after realizing that Maria was alive, Melkor commissioned Junko to get him back on his side, given her experiences in causing despair in people. Junko proceeded to fake a attack on the house of Heroes to force Shadow into fighting as she let Tsumugi kidnap Maria, planning to cause Maria to fall to despair by corrupting her mind like she did with Chisa before. Hi-jacking a TV network, Junko planned on using it to not only cause Gerald to feel rage against humanity again, but also for Shadow to fall to his rage once again, like how Class 77th fell to despair after seeing Nanami die. Unfortunately, Shadow and Gerald didn't lose hope like she thought.
- Firstly, Shadow (after demanding from passerbys where they were and begging Sonic to help him) used Chaos Control to not only warp into Junko's domain, but also used it to teleport Maria to safety while Sonic distracted Junko and Tsumugi by battling their Monokuma army and making quips at their expense. After making sure Maria was safe, Shadow reappeared and told Sonic thanks and that he has things under control, taking off his inhibitor rings. Realizing what he was doing, Sonic bolted as Shadow let out a Chaos Blast, bringing down Junko's temple.
- Secondly, after hearing of what Junko tried to do, Gerald decided to ask of Eggman to bring Junko over for a experiment. Upon hearing what Junko planned, Eggman agreed and convinced Junko Gerald didn't see Maria get rescued and thought Junko still had her and wanted to work out a deal with her, even escorting her to his temple. Upon entering his temple, she was knocked out by Eggman and upon waking up, found herself strapped in a metallic gurney with Gerald putting on a cheerful slice of life anime with Eggman behind her, grinning down with metallic tools. Realizing what they had planned, Junko tried to squirm free to no avail until Eggman finished his “experiment”.
- The next day, the house of Heroes found on their doorstop a Junko who claimed to be a cheerleader for hope with a Valley Girl accent and cheerleader uniform to match. This went on for a week with plenty of Junko’s victims getting a laugh out of it until Naegi and Monomi, not comfortable with the idea of FORCING Junko to be a force for hope, decided to turn her over to the Liebertarian Movement to undo it. When she finally came to her senses, Junko was scarred by the event and has put the Robotnik family high up on her shitlist.
- She is all for the idea of stopping Black Doom’s plans as well as the plans of anyone else that want to doom humanity. Alongside showing distastes for Black Doom, she has also expressed negativity towards his allies, namely Ragyo for her willingness to abandon and betray humanity, seeing her as her grandfather at the absolute worst and lowest point in his life. She also doesn’t hold SCP-953 in high support as she not only allied with Black Doom, but has showed hatred for her best friend Shadow for being a “furry”. Shadow as well as Eggman and Gerald are more than willing to defend her.
- News of Maria’s story and her relationship with Shadow managed to reach the ears of Giygas. Being reminded of his own mother as they both have the same name and being a mortal coil, despite this Maria being more like a friend where as his Maria was a parental figure, Giygas freaked out and threatened to tear apart the Neo Devil machine it was stuck in. The only reason it didn’t was that Nekron didn’t want him out too early and to waste him taking revenge on someone that just happens to have a name he is triggered by out of sheer coincidence. Shadow swallowed his pride and asked Ness and Lucas for help dealing him should he break out next time. Despite realizing he can’t face him one on one, Gerald Robotnik has gotten to work on at least reinforcing the Neo Devil Machine and teaming up with other scientists to hopefully build a weapon capable of holding Giygas off.
- As her grandfather tried to take revenge upon the entire world due to the army killing her for freeing Shadow, she has shown appreciation for the likes of Asgore Dreemur, who realized that such a pursuit in trying to cause a war after humans killed his son was pointless. The goat king finds her sweet, and helps her and Shadow when it comes to their flower arrangements.
- She has also expressed delight in Count Bleck not only stepping back from his world ending plans after his love was taken from him, but also managing to marry her after being reunited with her to save the world. The two pity her for her past, but are happy to hear she finally found bliss in the Pantheon.
- She and Madoka met up thanks to Shadow introducing her to the depowered magical girl when he was tasked with protecting her. She could only smile knowing that Shadow is continuing to make the Pantheon a safer place for all.
- She has also expressed delight in Count Bleck not only stepping back from his world ending plans after his love was taken from him, but also managing to marry her after being reunited with her to save the world. The two pity her for her past, but are happy to hear she finally found bliss in the Pantheon.
- “Let them live for their dreams. Shadow, I know you can do it. that's the reason why you were brought into this world. Sayonara, Shadow The Hedgehog.”

Time to rise and shine. Good morning!Oh wow, Sarasa! I love Basara, but it's quite niche, so I'm glad someone is ascending her. <3
@nightelf37: The Liquid Snake thing is hilarious and should totally be in it. Also perhaps something about them traveling to different timelines would attract the attention of deities like Homura or Bernkastel?. And once learning of Edea Lee's parents being named Braev and Matzer, the House of Naming might take notice (or K. Rool feels threatened due to his title as God of Punny Names)...but then they learn that many people from Luxendarc have pun-based names anyway. I think the Asterisks are interesting too. Maybe the party thoughts some people are asterisk holders due to being defined by their job, but things don't work that way in the Pantheon.

Kou Tokisaka, God of Addressing People by First Names (Kou-kun)
- s: 4 (fasoman1996, wootzits, WeirdWarrior, TheWikiaEditor)

- Domains: Average High-School Student, Good at Multi-Tasking, Amateur Soul Device Wielder, Fire, Greed Hunting.
- Followers: All non-ascended members of the X.R.C., Towa Kokonoe, Yukino.
- Allies: Shiori Kurashiki, Asuka Hiiragi, Mitsuki Hokuto, Rion Kugayama, Kazuto "Kirito" Kirigaya, Asuna Yuuki, The Phantom Thieves of Hearts (especially Joker), Kazuma Kiryu, Guts
- Enemies: Sir Isaac Ray Peram Westcott
- Wary of: The Grand United Alliance of Destruction
- Conflicting Opinion on: Mana Ouma.
- 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.
- He can also be seen around the Pantheon taking multiple jobs, because during his time in his home realm, he worked for a temp job service to cope with the fact that Shiori was Dead All Along until her resurrection. Nowadays, he mostly does it whenever he's not busy with anything at the moment.
- Gets along very well with Kazuma Kiryu, likely because he resembled a similar Yakuza thug named Eiji Gotou, who also happened to be a reasonable figure. That said, he did feel sorry for him upon learning that he faked his own death in order to not just prevent his family from being hurt, but also to protect the Secret of Onomichi from being leaked. That said, he's also helping him whenever he gets involved in affairs.
- Alongside his friend Asuka and Mitsuki, Kou also considers Sir Isaac Westcott a major threat, since his goal of obtaining powers from Spirits will cause a disaster bigger than the equivalent of the Eclipse itself. Notably, this was one of the few cases where he actually takes this seriously; While he did face great threats such as the Twilight Apostle, he did laugh it off due to it not having a will and acting just like a mindless monster. Issac, on the other hand? The fact that he has an downright god complex has actually startled him. It became worse when he found out that he somehow stole Mio's powers to become a Spirit of Origin. Needless to say, he was certainly relieved but still terrified that he finally was killed off in the mortal realm... but with a smile.
- Due to certain similarities such as the Eclipse and the Apostles, Kou has found some kinship with Guts, who also went through the Eclipse and has also fought Apostles in his life, though they were very different unlike the Apostles from Kou's world.
- "...Jeez, and I just got done with work, too." - Kou, after learning that he has to deal with an unspecified situation again
OK nightelf gave me a for Gandalf so I guess it's today then.
A wizard is never late, nor is he early. He arrives precisely when he means to.
And his title's been changed to God of Barring Adversaries from Bypassing Him.

Retired effective March 1, 2022@faso, and fixed!
Time to rise and shine. Good morning!Okay, here's the thing with Cosmos: I can probably write fair amount about Cosmos as a character if given inspiration. But I have no clue what to do with stuff regarding the alliances.
Cosmos, Goddess of Good and Leader of the Grand United Alliance of Good (Goddess of Harmony, "Goddess of Death")
- Overdeity of Goodnote
- Symbol: Her personal symbol◊
- Theme Song: Keeping the Peace, Cosmos, Lux Concordiae
- Alignment: Neutral Good

- Domains: Balance, Destiny, Good, Law, Hope, Protection
- Allies:
- The Warriors of Cosmos: Warrior of Light, Firion, Cecil Harvey, Kain Highwind, Bartz Klauser,Terra Branford, Cloud Strife, Tifa Lockhart, Squall Leonhart, Laguna Loire, Zidane Tribal, Tidus, Yuna, Lightning Farron
- GUAG Command: Philemon, Mata Nui, Manwë Sulimo, Ahura Mazda, Palutena, Seraph Lamington, The Immortal God-Emperor of Mankind, Primus, Commander Shepard, Captain America, Batman, Virtuous, Guan Yu, Mickey Mouse, Aslan, Zordon, Optimus Prime, Malcador the Sigillite, Alexander the Great, Iroh, Tokugawa Ieyasu, Thrall, Rachel Alucard, Reed Richards, Twilight Sparkle, Makoto Yuki, Tassadar, Baine Bloodhoof, Bright Noa, Jean-Luc Picard, Samuel Vimes, Tommy Oliver, Obi-Wan Kenobi, Yoda, Yue Ayase, Lelouch vi Britannia, Date Masamune, Havelock Vetinari, Josiah Bartlet, Honor Harrington, Captain Alex
- Other Specific Allies: , Amaterasu, Athena,
- Enemies:
- Forces of Chaos: Chaos, Garland, Emperor Mateus Palamecia, Exdeath, Kefka, Sephiroth, Ultimecia
- Other Specific Enemies: Shinryu, Melkor, YHVH, Lucifer, Nekron, the Councillors of the Grand United Alliance of Machines, The Anti-Monitor, Zamasu
- The Goddess of Harmony, Cosmos is the opposite force to fight against the God of Discord, Chaos. Summoning warriors across time and space, the two of them have been fighting each other with their selective champions to one day finally defeat one another. When the Pantheon was in its earliest days and the Grand United Alliance of Good was being formed, her ability to unite multiple heroes together was the deciding factor for her to be the leader of such a grand order.
- However, there is more to Cosmos than just a beautiful deity. She is in fact a Manikin who was designed after, and has the memories of, the wife of Cid the Lufaine, in order to keep Chaos under control. Eventually she, Chaos and Cid escaped their world through the Interdimensional Rift into "World B". There the three of them as well as the warrior Garland made a deal with the dragon deity Shinryu. As part of the pact, Cosmos became a goddess thanks to Shinryu's powers to fight in an endless loop against Chaos, with them sending warriors to be sacrificed to make Shinryu stronger with their memories and powers, as well as make Chaos stronger until he is strong enough to open the Rift again to get everyone back to their homeworld.
- Ultimately though, the Warriors of Cosmos' started to influence her and the once pawn of the cycle wanted to make everything stop. By giving her warriors fragments of her power as Crystals, she believed that once all of them could unlock the true potential of them, she could let herself to get killed to break the cycle of war and with the power of Crystals, they could defeat Chaos once and for all so that everyone can return back where they originally came from. Needless to say, she was successful.
- Even though she is the leader of GUAG, she isn't really one to fight her own battles. While she can fight, her powers mainly focus on protecting her warriors than outright fighting herself. That being said, she can give anyone the right advice to give them the morale boost they need, and if she needs to, she can bestow fragments of her powers to other warriors to make them stronger.
- While mostly supportive of her fel
- She is rather accepting when it comes to who want to join the GUAG. As long as they want to do good, she is more than willing to accept them in. But please, if you want to do some sort of divisive gambit, make sure you talk to her first. She doesn't want the events of the 12th cycle of happening again where Kain and Warrior of Light kept on slaying the other warriors to protect them from the Manikins.
- She also does fair amount of counselling to the GUAG members, mentoring them to the best of her abilities if they need it. She has heard it all from every branch of the "Good" alignment, to the most stern pacifists to the most battle-hungry heroes.
- Believe it or not, her biggest concern when it comes to one particular deity is not the other faction leaders, but Shinryu. She fears that with her being the head of GUAG would mean that the Forever War nature of the Pantheon could keep on making Shinryu stronger and stronger. Not only that, but she fears that Shinryu could easily depower her the moment he is bored with her.
- Got really worried due of a new cycle of war suddenly popping up. And with the reveal of two new deities running around, she fears that the worst is yet to come. She only hopes that she can trust Materia and what the cycles won't continue after this.
- As it turns out, Materia is the reincarnation of Cosmos' will what was left behind after her death, while Spiritus is the reincarnation of Chaos' will. And while the two started fighting without knowing much of anything about their past selves, they ultimately decided to keep on fighting in more of a good spirit in order to maintain balance in World B.
- In terms of really close friends, they tend to be other high-end gods who are God of Good, at least in their setting. However, she refuses to have anything to do with Cetrion as among other things, her plan if she were to take control of the hourglass would be way too similar to the thing she once tried to stop.
Mind if I copy that and paste it into my sandbox? Not adopting per se, it's just that I tend to think better in adding stuff with it among the rest of my potential profiles. Then I'll paste the updated version on your original, and back amd forth.
Retired effective March 1, 2022@Cosmos: For enemies, add Vaatu, Dharkon and Galeem, Yaldabaoth, Shekinah, Dagda (with pity for Nanashi), the SMTIII trio,
For allies, add Raava, The Master, and Zordon (if he isn't there already).
For Teeth-Clenched Teamwork (from their end only), add Naoya and Yamato Hotsuin.
She would also be opposed by Andrew Ryan. His vision looks down on "petty morality" getting in the way of free-reigned progress, so I think it counts.

TV Tropes Pantheon Group Members DatabaseAndrew Ryan's opposition seems to be directed towards the GUAL and GUAD so I'm going to suggest against that.
And yeah, I kinda did add everybody from GUAG Command.

Continue the bloodline, Fujimaru!So I added some more to the Aayla Secura profile.
Aayla Secura, Goddess of Alien Hair
- Intermediate Goddess
- Symbol: Jedi Order Insignia.
- Alignment: Lawful Good
- Portfolio: Action Girl, Has Lekku Head-Tails, Blue-Skinned Space Babe, Canon Immigrant, Master Swordswoman, Ms. Fanservice, No Kill Like Over Kill.
- Domains: The Force, Combat, War
- Herald: Oola
- Superior: George Lucas
- Allies: All ascended Jedi, Liara T'soni, Daenerys Targaryen, Snow White, Abraham Lincoln
- Odd Friendship: Starfire
- Teeth-Clenched Teamwork: Frank Castle
- Enemies: All ascended Sith, most Separatists (Especially Wat Tambor), Wilhuff Tarkin, Jabba the Hutt, the Slavers, The Grineer
- Wary Around: Clones, especially the 501st Legion
- Born on the Twi'lek homeworld of Ryloth, Aayla was discovered to be force-sensitive and taken in by the Jedi order. She was apprenticed by Jedi Master Quinlan Vos. Participated in the attempt to rescue Anakin, Obi-Wan, and Padme from Geonosis, which marked the beginning of the Clone Wars. During the War, she commanded the 327th Star Corps on the planet of Felucia. Was killed during Order 66.
- Like most Jedi, is deeply opposed to the Sith and all Dark side Force-Users.
- Briefly commanded the 501st Legion while they were stationed on Felucia. It was said that without her leadership, they wouldn't have survived the fighting. Unfortunately, she is deeply distrustful of clones after Order 66, especially those belonging to Clone Armies. For what it's worth, many clones felt sorry for betraying her.
- Does not like the Grineer. In addition to being an army of clones, she's horrified by their behavior and ruthlessness when dealing with opposition.
- Was surprised to learn that Anakin had become Darth Vader, due to the fact that the last time she'd seen him he was a loyal member of the Jedi Order. He was also The Chosen One, and was expected by most Jedi to bring balance to the force by destroying the Sith. This has been further complicated when Anakin turned back to the Light Side and helped defeat the Emperor.
- While she has animosity towards the Separatist Alliance, Aayla has an intense dislike of Wat Tambor, in no small part due to his brutal occupation of Ryloth and his experimentation on sentient beings. One of the few Jedi to survive General Grievous, though was severely wounded during the encounter.
- As many Twi'leks are forced to become Sex Slaves, and becoming a slave when she was a child, she dislikes slavery and those who participate in it. Has a special hatred for the Slavers for their involvement in sex trafficking. Hates Jabba the Hutt for the same reason, especially after learning how he treats his slaves. Was forced to work with him during the Clone Wars, but after the war he allied himself with the Empire. As such, there's nothing holding her back now. She is very sympathetic to those who have been enslaved and admires those who have worked to free slaves.
- Because she killed Jabba the Hutt, Aayla greatly admires Princess Leia. Has complicated feeling about Frank Castle. On the one hand, he took down the Slavers. On the other hand, his ruthlessness is at odds with the Jedi Code, which Aayla still adheres to.
- Never much liked Tarkin to being with, these feelings got worse after he joined the Empire. Not to mention, he was involved in the construction of Death Star, which resulted in the enslavement of many non-humans. The feeling is mutual, as Tarkin has a low opinion of non-humans and the Jedi.
- Is friends with Liara T'soni due to their similar appearances. Is also friends with Starfire due to both being aliens with a preference for skimpy clothes. However, while Starfire has no problem with romantic relations, Aayla is forbidden from having emotional attachments by the Jedi.
- As with all other characters from Star Wars, her superior is George Lucas.
I'm seeing Steven Universe: The Movie right now and the newest fusion was pretty cool. But in respect to policy, I won't say more.
I'm just looking forward to working on the Diamonds eventually.

TV Tropes Pantheon Group Members DatabaseSo I just found out that a fix for the misaligned images in image captions is to use reverse slashes (\\) after the labelnote indication ([[labelnote]]\\ link here[[/labelnote]]) Example
I figured I'd share it since it was brought up before.
EDIT: Okay, to be more specific, you need to then line change with enter after the \\ to make it properly work. It makes more sense in an actual work page, since forums center images anyway.
Meanwhile, Aya
Aya Shameimaru, Goddess of Questionable News Coverage (Traditional Fantasy Reporter, Aya Syameimaru, SHAMEIMARU, ZUN's girlfriend, Fucking Gossip)
- Lesser Goddess
- Symbol: The Bunbunmaru Newspaper logo.
- Theme Music: "Wind God Girl"
- Alignment: Chaotic Neutral
- Portfolio: Tengu, Goes Out of Her to Make Articles, Will Turn Anything Interesting into an Article, Commonly Fills Her Articles with Rumours, Exaggerations and Lies, Can Capture Bullets with Her Camera, Manipulation of Wind, Fastest Person in Gensokyo, Acts Really Polite During Interviews
- Domains: Tengus, News, Pictures, Wind, Speed
- Allies: Charlotte E. Yeager
- Pities: Setsuna Sakurazaki
- Within the Youkai Mountain lays the home of the tengu. Tengu are known for many things, but most relevant thing is that they love to gossip and write articles about the goings of the world. One of the most vocal tengu is Aya Shameimaru who in particular likes to scoop out any and all interesting articles around Gensokyo to write onto her newspaper called Bunbunmaru Newspaper.
- Aya prides herself on only reporting the truth, but what she actually writes is not as honest. First of all, she will report on anything she thinks will make a good article. This might involve actual incidents but most of them are just mildly interesting happenings with different people. Second is that her articles are filled with rumours, exaggerations and some biased opinions, not helped by her admitting that most people only read the headlines and look at the pictures and rarely read the whole article. Due of these reasons, most people don't really read her newspaper that much unless they want to pass the time.
- She can be incredibly noisy when it comes to getting new stories, but she can change her behaviour to be more polite to fit the situation when it comes to getting interviews. She doesn't really want to pick up fights, but if she wants to she can be a really fearsome opponent. Unless you really don't want her to write articles about you, it is generally preferred to tolerate her presence than to try to drive her away.
- Has had her high points and low points. One high point is her starting a special print of Bunbunmaru Newspaper focusing on Human Villager which run went fine until Mamizou started making humans not trust newspaper once Aya started smearing tanuki's reputation. A low point in her career was when she tried to turn her paper into a weekly tabloid paper filled with even more falsified stories than the norm, something she admits to. It never actually got to the print as she cancelled whole thing in the fear that she was being used by Lunarians to possibly turn her lies into the truth.
- Is interested in this tengu world Nyotengu comes from to compare it with the tengu society where she is from. Currently Nyotengu hasn't been interested on giving her any interviews to her dismay.
- Speaking of tengus, she feels pity forwards Setsuna due of her being an outcast from her clan due of having white wings instead of black ones. Aya totally doesn't feel like she herself is an outcast, no way.
- Her camera can erase projectiles out of existence by taking pictures of them. Somewhat different from how Ran Hibiki uses her camera. On that note, don't mistake her leaf fan being just a Paper Fan of Doom as it helps her use her wind powers.
- Is said to be the fastest person in Gensokyo. As in, she is supposedly faster than Remilia who once supposedly circled the Moon. She can keep up with someone with Shirely to get on-the-moment commentary to report on. Shirley enjoys her company, though admits that Aya is sort of a distant goal she wants to surpass.
- For some time, there were rumours that she was a girlfriend of sort to her creator ZUN, explaining the weird amount of exposure she got.. These rumours have died down, especially since ZUN has an actual wife now. There are also rumours that she takes panty shots and other naughty pictures of gods and sells them for money. No one has really proven them.

Continue the bloodline, Fujimaru!Nearly done with the Always Chaotic Evil Draft of Khazrak and Gorthor.
I'll state the reasons as always, both represent a race that are inherently evil in the Warhammer universe. However, Khazrak and Gorthor are highlighted because they are the two most important Beastmen in the Warhammer lore and both of them are unique in their own way; Khazrak is a military genius who displays traits not seen in Beastmen whereas Gorthor possess enough depravity to eclipse all the other Beastmen and establish a millennia-old legacy.
Think about allies, enemies and other sorts of relationships to associate Aya with. Not too much, not too little. You'll earn my once those are settled.

"Money is the goddamn plan! Have some faith, y'all!"So I think the GUAG Combat Division is complete. Any more suggestions or we need the approval mode activated
Pantheon server for all who click here. Freaking lost $410 and I am hunting down for a nuke to reign down.Alright, at last, the Sibyl System's ready! ...for a first draft, at least.
The Sibyl System, Divine Representation of Totalitarian Utilitarianism (Sibyl, Chief Joshu Kasei)
- Potential House: Tyrannical Figures (Leadership)
- :
- Overdeity
- Symbol: A brain in a jar next to a Dominator, Chief Kasei
- Alignment: Lawful Evil, though it sees itself as Above Good and Evil
- Portfolio: Wetware CPU, Hive Mind, The Sociopaths, Totalitarian Utilitarianism, Constantly Observing Others
- Domains: Crime, Psychological Profiling, Job Placement
- Herald: Non-ascended members of the MWPSB
- Allies: Big Brother, the Grand United Alliance of Law
- Evil Counterpart to: The Machine
- Enemies: Shogo Makishima, Shinya Kogami, Akane Tsunemori, Bruce Wayne/Batman
- Interested in: Harvey Dent/Two-Face, Judge Dredd
- Opposed by: A majority of the house of Justice
- Potential recruits for the Sibyl System: All human deities who are The Sociopath, most notably Light Yagami, The Joker, Johan Liebert, Junko Enoshima, Voldemort, Felix, Paul and Peter
- It was a troubling time when deities all over the Pantheon began getting shot by people claiming to be law enforcement for seemingly no reason. These authority figures turned out to be members of a group called the Ministry of Welfare's Public Safety Bureau (MWPSB), who were operating from a building that had appeared in the House of Leadership, the Pantheon's new temple for the Sibyl System. The head of the MWPSB, Chief Joshu Kasei, later made a statement on the matter, "There are many in the Pantheon who suffer from poor mental stability, or possess an inclination towards performing criminal acts. Some, with the assistance of therapy, may be capable of making the journey to recovery. Others, however, will undoubtedly be judged as beyond redemption and, like a cancerous tumor, must be removed for the sake of society's health as a whole. The Public Safety Bureau is dedicated to protecting the public, using whatever methods are required. That which needs to be done is carried out by those capable. Such is the grace bestowed upon mankind by Sibyl."
- Batman, curious as to why a computer with seemingly no sentience or sapience would be capable of becoming a deity in the Pantheon, infiltrated the Sibyl System's temple and learned a dark secret of the system's true nature* . Since then, he's become determined to bring it down, seeing the system as an enemy of free will. This is a challenge considering how reliant on Sibyl the Public Safety Bureau has become, so he's been working closely with his ally, former Inspector and Enforcer, Shinya Kogami, and current Inspector Akane Tsunemori, both of whom already know Sibyl's secret.
- The Sibyl System is a network that was developed with the intention of making job placement more efficient. While it continues serve this function, its influence has increased in scope to the point where it effectively runs the whole of 22nd century Japanese society. It does this by monitoring the stress levels and other organic indicators to profile select persons and calculate their predisposition to commit crimes, which is measured as a number known as the Crime Coefficient note . A person's Crime Coefficient is a major part of their Psycho-Pass, and how high it is determines how the agents of the MWPSB, who use special guns known as "Dominators" to scan individuals, is expected to deal with the individual:
- Under 100: No law enforcement is deemed necessary. The Dominator will remain locked, and will not fire. Unless circumstances change, it is assumed that the scanned person is innocent and cannot commit any crime.
- 100-299: Anyone 100 or greater is judged a Latent Criminal, regardless of whether or not a crime has actually been committed. The officer holding the Dominator is expected to shoot on sight. If the Crime Coefficient is under 300, the Dominator will switch to Nonlethal Paralyzer, which will cause the person to be paralyzed and knocked out by the shot.
- 300+: Anyone above 300 is judged to be a serious threat to society, and should be shot on sight. The Dominator will switch to Lethal Eliminator to instantly kill the targeted person.
- Some individuals with Crime Coefficients in the 100-299 range may be permitted to work with the Public Safety Bureau as "Enforcers", people who are tasked with tracking down other Latent Criminals like themselves and operate under the command of Inspectors, members of the Public Safety Bureau who have Crime Coefficients under 100 who may shoot and knock them out if they act out of line. Although the House of Justice for the most part is against the type of society that the Sibyl System presents, there are those who see the peace and unity attained by law, discipline, and lack of democracy or choice, as well as the mental and physical health of its citizens as an ideal to strive for. Some have even attempted to join the MWPSB, but unfortunately they're not currently hiring. Despite this, Sibyl has made it clear that all Judge Dredd has to do is say the word and a spot as an Enforcer will open up for him immediately.
- Besides having the ability to scan individuals and communicating Sibyl's judgement to the holder, the Dominators also have a separate function known as Destroy Decomposer, for use against inanimate obstacles and Latent Criminals using heavy armor. Upon being shot, the target will be completely disintegrated. Inorganic deities, including the GUAM, become justifiably tense at the idea of being shot by such a weapon.
- CLASSIFIED! Sibyl is not managed by an advanced computer system as most believe. In reality, the system is actually run by a Hive Mind composed of human brains in glass jars. These brains come from humans who are unable to be judged by the system, and are dubbed "Criminally Asymptomatic". Once they have determined that a person is criminally asymptomatic, they attempt to recruit the individual by making use of cybernetic bodies, most notably the chief of the MWPSB, Joshu Kasei. They have continued this practice in the Pantheon, attempting to identify certain individuals as Criminally Asymptomatic, but after their attempt to recruit the one known as Shogo Makishima went horribly wrong, they are maintaining greater caution in studying these people before approaching them. Such persons include The Joker, Light Yagami, Johan Liebert, Junko Enoshima, Voldemort, Felix, as well as Paul and Peter.
- Officers in the MWPSB serving Sibyl have noted peculiarities in the Crime Coefficients of certain deities, mainly those who suffer from severe mental illness or whose brains have been augmented through cybernetics or drug use. Perhaps the most demonstrable of these was Harvey Dent, AKA Two-Face, who has been found to rapidly change from one number to a second one uncontrollably, depending on which of his personalities is dominant i.e. below 100 when the good Harvey Dent is in control, and over 300 when "Big Bad Harv" is.
- Has a working relationship with Big Brother, one of the few deities that Sibyl respects as close to an equal. They tend to swap technology and ideas for how to make people more dependent on them. Some have even speculated that Sibyl and Big Brother are related somehow.
- Impressed by Sibyl's ability to accurately profile beings, Yaldabaoth recruited the Sibyl System to the GUAL (with YHVH's permission, of course), where they use their ability to immediately identify worthy applicants for recruitment, increasing the Alliance's enlistment rate by cutting out the need for extensive observation and surveillance before approaching.
- Although both the Sibyl System and The Machine have the goal of creating a peaceful, crimeless future in the Pantheon, they have opposing ideas of how such a future should be achieved and why. As a result, they have entered something of a divine chess match against each other, as both attempt to manipulate other deities to accomplish their machinations.
Hey guys, why was Kiara Sessyoin’s image replaced with ones from Fate/EXTRA? Isn’t the Fate/Grand Order image better?
Also @M1gami Tensei you might want to remove the Ruby potentially being a Greater Goddess, because Silver Eyes doesn’t increase her powers.

- Pities: Oddly enough, Shinji Ikari
- Masamune Dan was the 1st CEO of Genm Corp. and the father of Kuroto Dan. He was incarcerated for a period of time after being framed for starting Zero Day, the first Bugster outbreak by his son. In reality, he had indeed been complicit in these events to a degree, infecting himself with the Bugster Virus to gain immunity to it and subsequently master the Chronicle Gashat. He manipulated a series of events leading to his son's creation of Kamen Rider Chronicle, which he plotted to seize from him for his own ends. After being released from jail after his son's alleged death and being reinstated to his former position, he got right to work, using the Kamen Rider Chronicle Master Gashat to transform into Kamen Rider Cronus and assert his dominance over the Bugsters who had taken over after Kuroto's death. He stopped time with his 'Pause' ability to curb-stomp the Riders and kill the Lovelica Bugster. Things progressed smoothly from there, with him holding the fate of the Bugsters in his hands by threatening to delete them from the game code should they disobey him, bribing Hiiro Kagami to join his side and merging with Chronicle's final boss Gamedeus to form Gamedeus Cronus to prevent the game from being completed. While he was soundly defeated by Ex-Aid, he injected himself with his own Gashat, ensuring the data from players killed in his game was deleted along with him. However, fate was not done with him just yet.
- A completely mad Kuroto resurrected his father to extract the Bugster that had manifested from him, Black Parado, to create a new Master Gashat, God Maximum Mighty X. Saddened by how his son had completely jumped off the slippery slope, Masamune managed to free himself and battle his son to stop his plans, but Kuroto's new form proved too much for Cronus and he was killed yet again. He managed to pass on his abilities to Kiriya Kujo in a final gesture of trust and dissolved into data, confident that someone would end his son's mad rampage, which Kiriya did.
- As a reward for his Heel–Face Turn, Masamune was granted ascension to the Pantheon in the digital afterlife along with being revived as a human again. Many court officers were in unanimous agreement for his ascension, a surprising decision given how much Masamune is despised by the Riders and his fanbase. Turns out that Vermouth paid them to vouch for him, because the Black Organization's Absolut wanted someone from Genm Corp. as an associate. Kuroto was out of the question.
- Speaking of Kuroto, the first thing Masamune did when he entered the Pantheon was to find his now sane son and call him out for all the atrocities he did, demanding an apology. Despite being repentant for his actions, Kuroto has no intention of reconciling with him, nor relinquishing his ownership of Genm Corp. in the Pantheon to him.
- He has been told of his status as an utter Hate Sink in his series compared to Kuroto, who had the benefit of his legendary God Complex and general hamminess to save him. Is even more dismayed to learn that in an Alternate Timeline, Kuroto gained the powers of Another OOO and killed him to assume leadership of Genm Corp. and subsequently rule the world. May have in possession a Cronus Anotherwatch to counter this problem if it comes up again, courtesy of SHOCKER.
- His relationship with the other Gamer Riders is similarly fraught. He still hates them for his bitter defeat at Emu's hands, but is more or less civil in combat, no longer treating them as products or referring to them by the name of their most powerful Gashat (example: 'Hyper Muteki' for Emu and 'God Maximum Mighty X' for Kuroto). Kiriya is relatively cool and civil around him, for he did provide the trump card that allowed him to defeat Kuroto once and for all. Kiriya could tell that Masamune truly regretted his previous heinous acts and bears with him. He has called a ceasefire with his greatest enemies, seeing the Forever War in the Pantheon as a far more important threat to handle.
- For clarity, the powers of Kamen Rider Cronus were intended to be granted to the eventual winner of Kamen Rider Chronicle in order to stop the game's final boss Gamedeus. Planning to have an immunity against the corresponding Gashat's virus may possibly the longest-planned cheat in the entirety of fiction. As stated above, Masamune abused his time manipulation abilities to astounding degrees, stopping time to prevent them landing hits and stealing any leverage they had against him (like the Hyper Muteki) to maintain his image of infallibility. When he's really in a pinch, he can call on 'Reset' to set the fighters in an earlier point in time, once using it to reverse the destruction of his Chronicle Gashat. The problem is that Masamune relied on these game-breakers too much, leaving him at a disadvantage once the Riders started rising in levels legitimately and rendering his time manipulation useless against them. So what then? In an act of desperation, he had Cronus fulfill its purpose and defeat Gamedeus, only to then absorb the final boss into his very being, becoming a Bugster. Which made the game nigh unbeatable and eternal until his final defeat. In the Pantheon, Masamune can access the abilities of Gamedeus Cronus by himself, but with serious damage to his body requiring weeks to recover, since his status as a human again makes him vulnerable to the super virus of Gamedeus. Hence, he only calls on it when in direct battle against Greater Gods or higher. Otherwise, he is far more careful and calculating in battle against his enemies, painfully aware that it was his hubris and inability to recognise his own weaknesses that led to his defeat. He makes sure to respect his foes as Worthy Opponents and never to underestimate them, nor to refer to them by a product name for any but the most despicable adversary. Whenever he does have the opportunity to abuse his time-stopping power on those who oppose him and are too weak to overcome 'Pause', he does it with a zeal.
- He is regretful for how his mania and desire for power ruined Kuroto, regarding him a 'piece of scum' and a mistake that should have never been born, and like him, sincerely loves his wife. He voluntarily refused to bring her in as a herald because he didn't want her to see the monsters he and his son had become. Contrary to popular belief, he hates the Child Abuse Supporters, claiming that rather merely infecting their children with negative qualities, they go out of their way to showcase their abuse to the world unashamedly and without remorse. Granted, this is more of Masamune trying to be a Villain with Good Publicity, but it's something. This hasn't earned him any favours in the House of Family however. None of the Heroic Protectors of Family support him.
- While known to associate with Keel Lorenz, Masamune has no love for Gendo Ikari, who he feels went to overly extreme levels to initiate Third Impact and unite all humanity into a singular lifeform just to revive his wife. While Kuroto's turned out as a madman with a God Complex, Masamune would much rather have that than an utterly emotionally shattered son with multiple personalities with the potential to bring an end to the universe, the product of Gendo's mad plans.
- Having a primarily green color palette and the ability to stop time has obviously caused him to be compared to Dio Brando, even being called Kamen Rider DIO. Masamune is a bit terrified of Dio, since his Stand is far more powerful than his 'Pause' ability (for comparison, his 'Pause' ability was rendered null very quickly after new and more powerful Gashats were made, while Dio was curb stomped by a surprise attack after at least a few decades undefeated). Worse, Dio was the one who cornered him in the House of Gaming for a battle. He was one-tenth of a second quicker than Masamune in activating "ZA WARUDO! TOKI YO TOMARE!" before sticking fifteen knives in his throat. To add insult to injury, he pocketed the Chronicle Gashat and Buggle Driver Zwei for himself.
Dio: Your pale imitation of my greatness is nothing compared to I, DIO! (stabs Cronus) Kamen Rider Chronicle, you are hereby discontinued. (restarts time)
- It was a fairly long week for Masamune after that. Soon after being revived in the House of Life And Death, he made a new Gashat to circumvent his Stand and enhancements as a vampire. He didn't need to do that, Dio just swiped Masamune's equipment out of spite and disposed of them immediately afterwards. Masamune is by no means fearful of Dio, just disgusted by his smugness at being able to cheat his way through battle (and for more petty reasons, that his 'ZA WARUDO' catchphrase has become meme material like Kuroto) like he used to be.
- Masamune is working tirelessly to bring a new version of Kamen Rider Chronicle into the Pantheon under a new Genm Corp with employees loyal to him alone. The image of him as an upstanding and moral CEO of a video game company has become genuine. As such, he works with other gaming companies in the Pantheon to realize this vision. Whatever Masamune's goal is, teasers for this now augmented reality game have proven positive. Players no longer physically transform into Ride-Players but access it via the company's own version of the Augma. Moreover, Chronicle no longer runs the risk of infecting players with the Bugster Virus. Aside from his animosity for the Gamer Riders, his ventures as a CEO are now entirely separate from his exploits as an amoral Kamen Rider and he shows no inclination to endanger innocent lives. Kuroto, seeing how sincere his father is, chooses to live and let live so long as Masamune doesn't abuse his position like he did before. Whether a merger of the two factions will happen is up in the air.
- Summarily, he is acquainted with Nobuyuki Sugou and RECT Progress to tune Kamen Rider Chronicle with the AmuSphere for beta testing in a virtual environment before full release for AR. Results from people who despise Masamune such as the Master of Chaldea, Chiaki Nanami, Yugi Muto and freaking Kirito and Asuna have proven positive. Masamune may act nice to Sugou, complimenting him on his managerial prowess, but in private, he lambasts Sugou not for raping Asuna (that's his problem) but for being so incredibly stupid in doing so. At least Kayaba had the foresight to hole himself in a remote house before enacting his plan. Sugou is perfectly aware of Masamune always comparing him to Kayaba, and doesn't appreciate him for it, seeking to obtain the Chronicle Gashat for himself.
- Seto Kaiba is also a close collaborator, with both agreeing on how power is everything. He does not, however, approve of his immorality. Has gotten the idea to bankroll a driver in the up-and-coming Buy N Large NASCAR Cup Series to be held in the Pantheon from him.
- To this end, his company has gained a lot of prestige due to Buy N Large's influence as the largest conglomerate in the Pantheon. Being the very definition of a trust and having their hands in every major sector imaginable has helped Genm Corp is spreading the word of their game immensely.
- Classic game characters like Mario, Samus, and Sonic don't know what to think of Masamune, since the games under his watch were mostly expies of their games. That's only him as the CEO of Genm Corp. As Cronus, they know he's the enemy. The Servants of Chaldea follow their master's lead and remain silent on Masamune, but still don't like his old habit of mistreating others and calling them by product names as it reminds them grimly of the mages of the Nasuverse who treat their Servants as tools and disregard their autonomy. Masamune respects their main historical versions, not them. He is aware that his former attitude has rubbed them the wrong way and is willing to make amends for it, but not redeem himself fully.
- On a darker note, that doesn't mean that the game has nothing wrong with it. Masamune has marketed a live-action version of the game for use in arenas and game shows. So far, Gleeman Vox, CLU 2 and Cosmo Royale have made pre-orders for several million Ride-Player Gashats, just as soon as Masamune's design team work out a grittier look for the Ride-Player, which by their standards is plain ol' 80s.
- Then there's his life as Kamen Rider Cronus. Gotta keep a reputation as a Killer Game Master up after all. Granted, his plots as Kamen Rider Cronus are entirely separate from his corporate career now, so he technically isn't so much of a Corrupt Corporate Executive any more so much of a Card-Carrying Villain.
- Aside from legitimate video game companies, he frequently associates with Lex Luthor to create new, more powerful Gashats channeling the data of powerful DC deities like Superman, which he determines is a better option that wasting large amounts of Kryptonian DNA to create Bizarro. Both are villains who keep up a near perfect public image and love talking to each other about any evil plans they have concocted.
- Then there's SHOCKER, which every Kamen Rider villain is almost always contractually obligated to provide services to. He only provides occasional services though, citing 'capitalism' (i.e. SHOCKER has too many employed members and is getting too powerful) for the reasons why he waves the provision of specialized Gashats in front of other parties more often than not. No one there is pleased at this, Sengoku especially. Likewise, the ever cautious and realistic Masamune is unimpressed at the many hijinks of SHOCKER's non-tokusatsu aligned members. In one of his taped video diaries* :
Masamune: Junko may excel in ruining others with her so-called 'Ultimate Despair', Banno at creating Roidmudes, Gihren leading some genocidal Nazi space state with tacky robots, and those racist dumbasses in creating 'stable', 'perfect' soldiers. But you know who I think they are? Delusional bastards. Judgement shall be passed on them, but not by me. They're not worth the trouble.
- Instead, Masamune has become an associate of the Black Organization under the codename Umeshu. He has created killer virtual tournaments for the purpose of honing the skills of its many unnamed members, including an elite version for Absolut aka Quinella's prospective Integrity Knights. Renya Karasuma is very pleased at the results and how his chain ascension plans to employ new deities. Masamune doesn't really care if he has been manipulated. He'll kill them all at a later point in time. Anyway, he has important information for them should their deal go south. He knows the identity of one of those who fled the Organization.
- Secondarily, Vito Corleone sometimes plays backgammon with him. Ehh... we don't know either. Maybe it's their actions of keeping their illegal activities separate from their public affable personas and family lives. Nurgle also plays ball with him (not literally) sometimes for samples of the Gamedeus Virus, hoping to use in some capacity someday. This spells worry for the Pantheon's only major hospital, whose authorities have heard of the massive overcrowding of patients in Seito University Hospital from the appearance of Gamedeus and his super strain of Bugster Virus. They do not want that kind of trouble on their doorstep and keep a close eye on Masamune and his Bugster research.
- In conclusion, Masamune only has alliances with people for the convenience. He does not betray them per se, just 'leaving the negotiating room' just like Johnny Maxima once did to him. Allies is a relative term, being those who Masamune pretends to like, while the rest are those he makes no secret of his contempt for.
- People have joked that for all his gloating about being a superior being, his time manipulation abilities are laughably limited. Chief among them is Eobard Thawne, the Reverse-Flash, who is quick to remind Masamune that for his game's most powerful Kamen Rider, he can't even travel through time. The Professor isn't wrong to say this, having used time travel to ruin his arch-nemesis' life by killing his parents, gaining himself a new team of allies and exploiting Barry's mental breakdown and attempt to prevent his mother's murder to (coincidentally) make himself a living paradox and take advantage of an alternate timeline. Masamune is opposed on all fronts by members of the House of Time And Space, the good members for obvious reasons, and the villains for being a sissy compared to them. Masamune just smirks as the black-ops division of his company places the finishing touches on a new cosmic treadmill and Oma Zi-O level Chronicle Gashat. He'll make at least that house respect him in time. No direct word from the hopeful to take the title of Time Master, Wizard Tetrad member Chronos, but obviously he doesn't like someone who uses the ability to stop time to cheat his way through battle.
- People have asked why his Rider name is Cronus when his motifs and abilities (not to mention the clock that inexplicably appears behind him whenever he transforms) suggest his relation to Chronos, in which case he should be called Kamen Rider Chronos. Masamune replies that the meaning of the name runs in the Dan family, because the former king of the gods desired unlimited power much like he and his son do. He is also quick to remind people that Cronus is also a lesser god of time, but is overlooked due to Chronos' existence. If people call him Kamen Rider Chronos, he just shrugs it off. Historians have been known to confuse both gods as well.
There's no one who can go against me, the controller of lives.Oh, please enter this godly abode of Tropes!
