Trope Pantheons Discussion

Go To

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

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

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

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

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

    Templates 
Template for adding a new deity:

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

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

Template for Dominions profiles:

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

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

Template for Treasure profiles:

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

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

The Asterisks

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/bdpb_asterisk.png
One such Asterisk
  • Apperance: hexagonal stones that bear the symbol of an asterisk
  • Alignment: Depending on its holder('s party)
  • Portfolio: Job System, Anti-Escape Mechanism, Amazing Technicolor Battlefield
  • Domains: Job Classes, Artifact,
  • Onwers: The Heroes of Luxendarc
  • Asterisks are jewel-like objects that were created by the Sage Yulyana in his plot to usurp the Crystal Orthodoxy's authority in "granting vocations".
  • Initially, changing one's job or 'vocation' required a special approval from within the Crystal Orthodoxy. With the asterisks however, the Sage would be able to prevent the institution from growing rich from fat profits known as 'alms'. Sage approached the panicked high officials and the grand patriarch, proposing to them the asterisks, mentioning that "granting vocations should be based on it, as overseen by the Orthodoxy." To that end, those wanting to apply for a 'vocation' would apply to the Orthodoxy and pay a fair price. Those who could pay may apply to change their jobs. The grand patriarch and his officials only sought profit through it, thus they agreed to Sage's proposal.
  • Afterwards, Sage was then appointed by the grand patriarch as the 'overseer' of the new asterisk system. However, since Sage was the only person who possessed the knowledge of creating the asterisks, coupled with the fact that he had changed the previous system of changing jobs towards the asterisk system, he had essentially robbed the Crystal Orthodoxy of their authority to grant vocations. Acknowledging his success in having robbed the Orthodoxy of their influence, he escaped from the position, taking with him the knowledge of creating the asterisks. Since the profits gained from the asterisk system were controlled by Sage who had already sequestered himself within the Yulyana Woods, the Crystal Orthodoxy were thus rendered incapable of gaining any semblance of profit from the asterisk job system.
  • These Asterisks were once held by various officials in the Eternian Empire before being… "relieved" of them by Tiz and company, and a few others were also retrieved from various elites in the Glanz Empire. Due to the risk of these Asterisks getting stolen (and thus bequeathing their powers to those thieves, not to mention anyone else who gets their hands on them), they requested for the Court to place these in the Treasury. As for how they'll be able to change jobs without them, turns out their ascension already grants that, just like how Bartz doesn't need the Crystal fragments from his world to do the same anymore.
  • Aside from offering Job Classes to their holders, these Asterisks can conjure an "asterisk space" that prevents the holders' opponents from escaping. Aside from Sage Yulyana, the creator of these Asterisks, there's no known way of entering it from the outside, either, or what it even looks like from the outside. The only way out is through possessing an Asterisk of your own, or—as stated above—defeating the Asterisk holder(s) (taking their Asterisk is actually optional).
  • There are thirty-five Asterisks in total that have been gathered this far: Monk, White Mage, Black Mage, Knight, Thief, Merchant, Spell Fencer, Time Mage, Ranger, Summoner, Valkyrie, Red Mage, Salve-Maker, Performer, Pirate, Ninja, Swordmaster, Arcanist, Spiritmaster, Templar, Dark Knight, Vampire, Conjurer, Wizard, Charioteer, Fencer, Bishop, Astrologist, Catmancer, Hawkeye, Patissier, Exorcist, Guardian, Kaiser, and kai.
    • Due to not being Player Characters in the second game, the powers of the Wizard Asterisk onward are not available to Agnès and Ringabel. Due to not being Player Characters in the first game, the powers of the Spell Fencer, Salve-Maker, Arcanist, Spiritmaster, Vampire, and Conjurer Asterisks are unavailable to Yew and Magnolia. Only Tiz and Edea have the powers of all thirty-five.

Sentry Turrets, Collective Deities of Fragile Turrets and Shooting The Entire Bullet (Aperture Turret)

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Portal_Turret_8264.png
  • Demideities
  • Symbol: Themselves
  • Alignment: Lawful Evil under Aperture Science, otherwise varies depending on their purchasers' morality
  • Portfolio: Weak Turret Gun, Nigh-Infinite Ammo Supply, Laser Sight, Shooting The Entire Bullet, "Dispensing Product", Adorable Evil Minions, Cute Machines, Helpless When Grabbed, Excellent In A Choir
  • Domain(s): Turrets, Bullets, Testing
  • Other Turrets: Defective Turrets, Oracle Turret, Animal King Turret
  • High Priest:
  • Superiors: Cave Johnson, GLaDOS
  • Couriers (all part-time): Derpy Hooves, The Courier, Cloud Strife, Kiki
  • Allies:
  • Rivals:
  • Enemies: All Black Mesa personnel, the Spy
  • Punch-Clock Villain to: Chell, anyone who enters their sights
  • While Torbjörn and the Engineer were discussing sentry guns one day, and the topic eventually came to the Sentry Turrets of Aperture Science. Naturally, both had fun ridiculing its design flaws. The next day, a file from Cave Johnson with an attached video was delivered to the Court of the Gods. Turns out he had been listening in on that conversation in secret.
    • It showed the features of his Sentry Turrets, the very ones GLaDOS used in the tests she forced Chell through. After going through the file, they decided to "ascend" them for two titles: Weak Turret Gun for how easy it is to take them out, and Cartridges in Flight, since their firing system actually spring-launches the entire bullet.
    • The day after Cave delivered his file, his proposal to ascend his Sentry Turrets was approved, but there was a certain issue...
    • Given the nature of the trope and the deity, there was some debate on how to bring them up and how to represent them. It was one thing to ascend a squadron of unnamed human soldiers as can be seen in the House of War, but this was what was essentially a consumer product (with battle applications, admittedly) that just happened to never make it to the shipping stage. Eventually, a verdict was reached.
    • And so the Sentry Turrets' two temples (in Robotics & Machinery and Firearms) were essentially turned into Aperture Facilities for manufacturing these things, and then actually shipping them all over the Pantheon. Due to their... "reliability", they come relatively cheap, despite Cave's protests. Shipping is handled both by on-site pick-ups and hired delivery services (though Derpy often gets them jostled, and the Courier either actually delivers on time, or his usual and they actually prove useful for the customer's situation).
    • That said, there's a chance that a Defective Turret might be manufactured instead, but the facilities actually have quality checks to make sure none of those actually get shipped. It's one of the actual competent things Aperture does, though it's done by having a Sentry Turret as a template for its quality checker; swap that with a Defective Turret and you'll get good Turrets being tossed out.
  • Here's an advertisement for the Turrets in case you wish to make a purchase.
  • Aperture Science advises to only use Aperture-brand Resolution Pellets when loading the Sentry. "Incident resolution" is not guaranteed if anything else is loaded. Also make sure the turret is in Non-Judgment Mode before doing so.
  • They don't just come in plain white chassis, one can request for different kinds of designs, like Forest Camo, Desert Camo, Wood (Table), Brick (Evening At The Improv), an orange-and-white design (What Idiot Picked This?), and more. And there's always the option to paint it afterwards.
  • As for why Turrets are able to sing, it's meant for soothing any babies it's protecting back to sleep after shooting any house intruders.
  • Due to how the Turrets fire their bullets, they're actually far weaker than if it had been fired by striking the primer hard and thus using the gunpowder to propel the bullet, which explains why Chell is able to survive their attacks despite lacking any sort of armor.
  • Naturally, with no one saying otherwise, most gods who order their turrets get theirs modified (either by themselves or someone else) in all sorts of ways, like clamps to keep from falling over, changing up the firing systems so that they actually shoot bullets like bullets, and so on. Thankfully, since the "vanilla" versions still fit their current tropes, these mods don't affect their divine positions in the Pantheon.
    • Those commonly known to mod these turrets are the Engineer and Torbjörn (only for purposes of study), Peridot, Cyborg, Tony Stark (same reasons as Torb and Dell), Lucca, San Francisco DedSec, Tali'Zorah, Nitori Kawashiro, Miles Prower, etc.
      • Symmetra looks down on these turrets not only for their "medieval" design despite their smooth aesthetic (the only positive quality she considers), but for actually being far weaker than Torbjörn's and Dell's (let alone her own). Still, she has had one purchased for modification purposes; perhaps she can come up with a far superior design than Aperture's.
      • Asroc, being his team's resident Gadgeteer Genius, would try his hand on making his own improvements on them with his Septima. Not only to further aid his comrades and their efforts, but also as an opportunity to showcase his superiority over others in his field of work.

    • Speaking of Wheatley, anybody carrying the Idiot Ball from the Treasury since the two are one and the same will get fired upon with extreme prejudice. Which is merely getting fired upon without and prior greeting. This prejudice also applies to all Black Mesa personnel given they're Aperture Science products.

So, anything about his lover? I showed some of the pictures earlier. Also, anything about Nyarlo since Candyman is an urban legend, I have at least some idea about P2 cast since he's an urban legend incarnate.

  • Domains: Urban Legend, Mirror, Murder, Bees
  • 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.
  • Herald: Helen Lyle
  • Allies: Bloody Mary
  • Enemies: Sumaru City Persona Users
  • Candyman was once a man named Daniel Robitaille, a "freedman" and painter who fell in love with a plantation owner's daughter and was murdered by her father and a lynch mob. His death involved the men sawing off his right hand and was stung to death by bees when they smeared him with honey. Now, he became a legend in modern society, with his legend spoken from Cabrini-Green to New Orleans and to Los Angeles.
  • During the dead start of Halloween, the urban legend of Candyman began spreads through the temples with many gods gossiping of his existence. One decided to test the legend for themselves by calling out his name to a mirror five times. Sure enough, Candyman appeared and gutted him and alerted the Pantheon of his existence.
  • Though it is required that his name is called to a mirror five times for him to kill people, it appears that he despises people that tries to deny his existence. Because he is a ghost born of an urban legend, he requires people's belief of his existence to remain in the mortal world. Though that tries to deny his existence are often the one killed or cause collateral damage just to prove his existence, as he did to Helen Lyle.
  • Candyman respects Bloody Mary, another creature born of an urban legend. In fact, Candyman's MO is practically like Bloody Mary since they need someone chanting their name in a mirror a number of times in order to make their attack.
  • Because of his love for Caroline Sullivan, he often stalks those that easily reminds him of her. It was very convenient that his targets included Helen Lyle, who resembled her lover, and Annie Tarrant and Caroline Mc Keever, who is actually his descendants.
  • The Sumaru City Persona Cities dread his existence as he is a killer born of an urban legend, with the widespread belief of him keeping his existence in the Pantheon.

@ mvs: In Elmore, a Candyman expy is one of many ghouls who lost the scare factor they had on the general public and had to take up other lame jobs. For that guy people kept exploiting his ability to be summoned by name like when kids kept pestering him expecting he would give him candy. He ended up taking a supermarket job and beekeeping on the side to get by. Gumball helped make people like him feared again out of pity in the end, though he immediately came to regret that decision.

Some update on Susy so far.

Susy Hendrix, Goddess of House Protection

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/49330_audrey_hepburn_susy_hendrix_varj_mig_sotet_lesz_1967.jpg
  • House: Specialized Narratives ?
  • Demigoddess
  • Symbol: A doll stuffed with heroin.
  • Alignment: Neutral Good
  • Portfolio: Action Survivor, Disability Superpower, Handicapped Badass, The Mark,
  • Domains: Blindness, Protection
  • Heralds: Sam (her husband), Gloria
  • Allies: Kevin McCallister, Matt Murdock/Daredevil
  • Enemies: Paul and Peter
  • Susy is a vivacious young woman who has been blinded in a car accident for a year. When a doll stuffed with heroin was brought to her apartment by her husband, a trio of thugs led by Harry Roat broke into it in order to retrieve the doll back and convinced Susy that her spouse had been implicated in the crime and the only way to protect him is to surrender the doll. However, she proves to be resourceful and intelligent, which ultimately gives her an edge against the criminals. The Main House is rather sympathetic to her situation, and decided to ascend her for Protect This House.
  • Her temple is pretty much a recreation of her apartment. One improvement that was given to her new temple is that it was given a new security system that’s intended to ward off potential criminals from vandalizing it. Not that it prevented them from finding ways to hack through the system. Additionally, her husband, Sam, as well as Gloria also reside in that temple and has served as her heralds.
  • One particular deity that she is close with is Kevin McCallister, given their shared situation of having to deal with their house being invaded by a group of criminals. Kevin views Susy as a sort of mother figure, and sometimes, he would even come to her house to care for her due to her blindness. Thanks to Kevin, she has gotten into setting up traps in her house in case someone breaks into her apartment again.
  • Matt Murdock has also expressed an interest in Susy, impressed that a blind person like her was capable of defending herself against a group of criminals. While the two don’t interact much, they remain good friends.
  • She doesn’t seem to have a liking for Peter and Paul, given that they would sneak up to different houses by having certain residents of said houses play a game, only to have them murdered. The two seem to have no problem wanting to play said game with her, but Susy, having learned from her experiences, has constantly to let them in her apartment.

Okay, I have few problems with this bit about Hazama:

  • Until now. Ever since Yuuki Terumi was completely given the trope of Complete Monster from co-ownership with Dr. Weil, Hazama got the Troll trope, being told it was either that, being consigned to being Terumi's herald, or expulsion from the Pantheon. Needless to say, Hazama chose to remain.

First of all, why is it even spoiler marked? Second of all, it feels really tacked on. Third of all, what with all these threats when Hazama had a perfectly good trope going for him?

Who would you think would believe his rambling? Or who would try to counter his with their own?

Malzahar, God Of Accepting The Foretold Future (The Prophet of The Void)

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/malzahar_originalloading_4.jpg
  • Lesser God
  • Symbol: One of his Voidlings
  • Alignment: Chaotic Neutral
  • Portfolio: Humanoid Abomination, Becoming Aware After Gazing Into The Void, Carrying Out The Void's Will, Prophet of the Cult of The Void, The Minion Master, Power Floats, Gaining His Powers from The Void
  • Domains: Seers, Madness, Fate, Minions
  • Enemies: The Ancestor
  • Wary About: Exdeath
  • Malzahar was originally a seer born in Shurima, being granted the power of prophecy. He originally used his gift to help people to help himself, but years of visions caused him to become aware on how humans were usually stuck in a cycle of pain to the point that he wanted to distance himself from everyone, which caused him to become even more aware of the miseries of the world. Eventually his visions lead him to discover the Void, where he finally received a vision of what he needed: for him to bring forth oblivion to end all pain. Thus he became a herald of the Void, trying to bring forth the calling of nothingness.
  • Since he has submitted his will to The Void, it has granted him the power to manipulate the energy from it. One of his notable abilities is the ability to call upon small creatures called Voidlings to assist him in battle. While just one Voidling isn't that powerful and they will die after a while, he can call upon multiple of them at once.
    • Another of his abilities allows him to transfer the visions he has to another to mentally assault them, which can transfer to anyone near them if they were to die. However, to an outsider's respective the effect is bit strange, so most people opt to call it space AIDS.
  • Even in the mortal realm, his quest as the Prophet of the Void has been with some success. He has many followers who would sacrifice themselves for the sake of his word, and even those who don't believe in him are afraid of the Void and would bring him sacrifices ust to be safe.
  • Is sort of wary about Exdeath and the nature of his Void. Mainly because he is not sure if his prophecies and the true nature of The Void are wrong, or if Exdeath is the one in the wrong. He does say that trying to control The Void is not a good idea.
  • One day when looking around the Pantheon, he encountered a temple with a particular marking which resembles the mark of The Void. On it he saw a prophecy that it would be connected to The Void and started preparing for the day something would happen. In truth, he merely stumbled upon the temple of Hastur, who sort of wants to see what he will do with his assumptions.
  • He does admit that not all prophecies can be true, as he has been wrong in the past regarding his prophecies (his dagger is a proof of that). He is just very certain this one vision is what he has upmost trust on.
  • The Ancestor is rather annoyed by him, as he had his fair share of encounters with a prophet who eventually went insane due of Ancestor's plans.
  • Is trying to convert Kyurem into believing his visions, believing that they would realize what he was talking about. Currently the Boundary Pokémon isn't that impressed, but might be thinking about it depending on how things turn out.
  • "The land may melt, the sea may swell, the sky may fall... but they will come."

Possible idea. For the trope Party of Representatives, I'd like to nominate The Student Six. They represent six different races in/around Equestria (pony, dragon, griffon, changeling, yak, hippogriff), and their camaraderie ultimately proves vital to the story like helping stop a manipulative tyrant of a child, and getting a paranoid pony supremacist to change his ways.

I checked the other possible examples, but some are already here like the Suikoden Army, Fire Emblem armies, Chrono Trigger's party, the Cult of Shepard, etc.

That said, other possible candidates include Grandia II's party, the Golden Sun parties, or Princess Zelda's Champions.

EDIT: Or since Weird Warrior plans on reworking the Dragon Age II characters for Party of Representatives already, perhaps they can be their High Priest(esse)s instead.

@ Faso: Out of all the Grineer leadership, the Worm Queen the fit the bill of Bad Boss the most in terms of killing ones own men. She’s the younger of the ruling Twin Queens, and with it the more sadistic and immature. Whippings are common, and displeasing her with failiure as a Grineer soldier leads to executions where upon apparently she eats them. Not even her elite guard are exempt, making it very explicit she is Surrounded by Idiots.

I kind of wanted to wait on this suggestion until after I was at least done with the Octopath group, but since Nightelf forced my hand, I might as well suggest it now.

Hawke and Co., Divine Party of Representatives: The main character and his traveling companions not only represent the differing cultures of Thedas (Hawke and his siblings are refugees fleeing from the Darkspawn that overran their home in Lothering, Varric is from a former noble Dwarf family who had to flee to the surface after they were disgraced, Anders is an apostate known for his many attempts to escape his respective Circle of Magi, Aveline is the daughter of an exiled Orlesian chevalier and a member of the king of Ferelden's army, Fenris was the former slave of an abusive Tevinter Magister, Isabela is a Rivaini pirate captain who happened to be the daughter of an infamous thief and conwoman, Merrill is a Dalish elven mage who hails from the Alerion clan, and Sebastian is a Chantry archer who also happens to be a contender for the title of Prince of Starkhaven), but they also represent the differing stances on the Mage-Templar Conflict within the story (Fenris, Aveline, and Carver are firmly on the side of the Templars, Anders, Merrill, and Bethany are on the side of the Mages, and Varric, Isabela, and Sebastian are neutral to the entire conflict).

Keep in mind that I plan on reworking the deities from Dragon Age II that are already here in the Pantheon into this group. This will give Hawke an actual trope (Mai Tokiha already has The Caretaker and a profile that's better than Hawke's) and free up the following tropes: Pirate Girl, Automatic Crossbows, and Bad Powers, Good People.

  • Opposed by: The League of Flat Chests (particularly Etna)
  • Hildegarde, more commonly known as Hilda, was born into a noble Demon family who had served as maidservants to various Demon Lords for generations. Her parents served different Demon Lords and, as a result, were rarely home. Hilda's fate was decided from birth and she competed with her sister Yolda for the top spot at the wet nurse training academy. After graduation, Hilda became the maidservant of the Great Demon Lord Beelzebub III and his wife Iris. Hilda developed a very good relationship with Iris, who was the only one to treat her as family. Following the birth of Baby Beel and the disappearance of Iris, Hilda was appointed by the Demon Lord to serve as Baby Beel's mother and tasked with finding a suitable human parent to raise his son. Shortly after, Baby Beel became attached to Tatsumi Oga and Hilda subsequently decided to move in with him to help raise Baby Beel.
  • Hilda was shocked to hear that Oga had taken the Little Master somewhere without her knowing. She quickly pursued them and was put into a rather long queue which she could only get past if she could find a concrete title to affirm her ascension. Fortunately, she eventually did and beat up Oga shortly after her ascension for the inconvenience he had caused her.
  • Hilda had ascended thanks to her fringe, which always obscures her left eye no matter what, even if she is upside down or under heavy winds (some of the wind gods attempted with no success). When asked whether her fringe obscures her vision and creates a blind spot from which she can be attacked, Hilda revealed that her left eye is a solid color and is capable of detecting things ten times faster than the normal eye and even see the tiniest object. However, because the vision in both eyes is different, using both nauseates her, which is why she keeps it covered.
  • Due to spending most of her time at Oga and Baby Beel's temple to fulfill her duty as a maidservant, Hilda chose to appoint Carrie Krueger as her High Priestess to look after her temple in her absence.
  • Because she takes her job as a maidservant extremely seriously, Hilda quickly allied herself with the Seven Servants, who are each similarly devoted to their respective masters. She especially gets along with Elanore Baker, who is also highly skilled and dangerous maid whose family similarly consists of several generations of servants.
  • She respects Roberta for her devotion and willingness to protect her master and once sparred with her and thought that she reminded her of Tojo with her implacability. Hilda is also on good terms with Rias Gremory, which many found surprising since the two are quite different from each other. Hilda explained that Rias' strong affection and protectiveness for her servants strongly reminds her of Iris. The fact that Rias also sounds like Azusa Fujisaki, one of Hilda's friends from St. Ishiyama, also helps. Hilda also quickly grew to like Rin Okumura, approving of his strength and deeming him a good ally and rival for Baby Beel.
  • She can occasionally be seen conversing with Akeno, Bianca and Hinagiku, noting that they sound the same. Hilda respects Akeno's incredible fighting prowess, but doesn't particularly really like the fact that she gets very aroused while fighting. She managed to bond with Bianca over their mutual dislike of Ghetsis. Hilda also respects Hinagiku for her achievements in academics and sports, remarking that she reminds her of herself back when she was at the wet nurse training academy.
  • Hilda is disgusted with the Demonic Legion because she views them as uncouth beasts because they called the Little Master a disgrace to Demonkind. Although they initially dismissed her, she quickly gained their grudging respect after giving them a demonstration of incredible power, and they have since generally avoided her and, by extension, Oga and Baby Beel.
  • She was none too happy to find out that Ghetsis attempted to turn the Little Master into a battery and immmediately put him on her shit list. Being well aware of how strong she is, Ghetsis has chosen to put aside any of his plans which involved Baby Beel for the time being.
  • She tends to make the League of Flat Chests very uncomfortable thanks to her rather large bust. Etna in particular is extremely jealous of Hilda due to both of them being Demons. Hilda, for her part, finds Etna and the League in general to be annoying and tends to just ignore them.

Samwell Tarly, God of Not Wanting To Fight Like His Father Wants (Samwell, Sam, Sam the Slayer, Black Sam, Ser Piggy)

  • Theme Song: This
  • Alignment: Lawful Good
  • Portfolio: Father, I Don't Want to Fight, Gets Treated Like Shit By His Father Because Of It, Threatened By His Father He'd Die By Hunting "Accident", Nice Guy, Lovable Coward (considered self a Dirty Coward), Nerds Are Virgins (initially), Band of Brothers, Fat Best Friend, Doesn't Like To Fight But Will Do So To Save His Friends, Nothing Like His Prick Of A Dad, The Smart Guy
  • Domains: Cowardice And Courage, Companionship, Compassion, Family Issues, Brotherhoods
  • Allies: Jon Snow (and his friends, mainly in the show), Aemon Targaryen, Samwise Gamgee, Frodo Baggins, Shoto Todoroki, J.R.R Tolkein, The Cowardly Lion, Neville Longbottom, Shinji Ikari, Piglet, James Henry Trotter
  • Enemies: The Night King, The Child Abuse Supporters (Ozai most of all), Sauron, Ragyo Kiryuin, Relius Clover, Lord Djibril, Shinji Matou, Kaldr
  • Shadow Archetype: Guts (at least, that's how he sees it)
  • House Tarly is a house that believes A Real Man Is a Killer, and as such it was a massive disappointment to his father Randyll that his eldest son Samwell wasn't one. A soft and kind-hearted boy, Sam joined the Night's Watch after a threat by his dad that something fatal might happen if he doesn't leave or man up. Though he sees himself as a Dirty Coward and doesn't want to fight, he will do so when his friends are threatened. And he's a smart boy, an accomplished reader and one of the smartest rangers of the Night's Watch
  • Grew up with a buttload of physical and emotional abuse from Randyll. While his soft personality puts him at odds with Westeros's medieval values, the Trope Pantheon is much more understanding. They're also contemptuous of his father, who even outside his parenting skills is a massive Jerkass.
  • To nobody's surprise, Samwell hates the Child Abuse Supporters for promoting abusive parenting, terrible family relationships and other toxic dynamics. He hates Ozai most of all given how her forced his own agenda on his son Zuko and tried to kill him for speaking back, something Samwell has trouble finding the courage to do to his own father. Other abusive parents he loathes in Ragyo Kiryuin to taking it to a new level and being sexually abusive, much like Craster, and Relius Clover for being the horrid father. On the opposite end of the spectrum, he has earned the sympathy of the good fathers in the pantheon, due to how Randyll gave him the choice to either take the black or have an accident.
  • Because of his background, he can relate to Shinji Ikari a lot. They're both quite reluctant in fighting despite their father's assistance, but prove to have more courage in them than the Dirty Coward persona they put on themselves. That said, bad as Gendo Ikari is he is still less abusive than Randyll Tarly, and both are borderline saints to Craster. Sam is currently raising Craster's with his partner and the mother/Craster's daughter Gilly, proving to be a good parent and avoiding a cycle of abuse. Given their fathers, he can also relate to Shoto Todoroki.
  • Thought to be inspired by Samwise Gamgee, as they're the highly affable friends of the tougher protagonist(well, one of them in the case of ASIOAF). The lighthearted Samwise and Frodo were good company for Sam. Tolkein himself is fond of Sam, because of the comparisons, Sam's a Nice Guy, and Tolkein and Sam are studious lovers of the written word.
  • Sauron wasn't thrilled to hear that Samwell Tarly had ascended. While Samwell not liking such a force of evil is expected, Sauron's antipathy of Sam comes from the fact he reminds him a lot of the hobbits who bested him, and that's very much a sore spot for him. Samwell doesn't like Kaldr either, since being a powerful ice-spreading villain he's similar to the Night's King and the White Walkers Sam dealt with.
  • Earned the term "Sam the Slayer" when he was the first person in centuries to kill a White Walker, albeit out of desperation. Still, while terrified this and other occasions have shown his label as a coward isn't exactly true. His ability to overcome courage is something that the Cowardly Lion and Piglet respect, and the fact that he proves himself and grows as a character is something he and Neville Longbottom have in common.
  • By contrast he is disgusted with the malignant cowardice of Lord Djibril and Shinji Matou. Especially Matou, who's the dismissed and disrespected family member like Sam but never grew out of it. Sam was quick to chew Matou out for using his Butt-Monkey status as an excuse to abuse and be unpleasant towards the people around him, while never trying to rise above it or become a nicer person out of what happened to him.
  • As odd as it seems, Samwell believes that Guts is what he may have been like with the path not taken. When asked why, he stated that both him and Guts grew up with abusive hardened men who raised them to be hardened men. Both have trauma to deal with. But while Guts became a grizzled mercenary, Sam always stayed the sweet little boy he was. Sam's sympathies are with Guts even if he scares him, given as bad as Samwell's childhood was Guts' backstory and the Eclipse are worse.
  • Has worked his way up to Grand Maester. He's spending more time in the House of Knowledge with his new occupation. The House of Physicians were impressed by how he was able to perform an operation to remove Jorah Mormont's greyscale infection, and would like to teach him more medical knowledge.

Here's that rework, what do you guys think?

  • Pities: Madoka Kaname, Homura Akemi, Zeref
  • First daughter of Shuichiro Ayatsuki, older sister of Celica A. Mercury, human wife of Jubei, and mother of Kokonoe (and also adoupted aunt of Ragna, Jin and Saya/Noel). Konoe A. Mercury is the ninth member of the Ten Sages and is one of the Legendary Six Heroes. She is without a doubt, one of the strongest magical users to ever ascend into the Pantheon. With having both unrivaled magical power and beauty to match, the Court of Gods had decided to ascend Nine into Pantheon with for these exact qualities.
  • The last thing Nine remembered before ascending was that she willingly allowed herself to die after being struck down by Ragna and used the last of her life/power to aid Ragna against Izanami. With this she’s a bit surprised to see not only is she still alive, but that she's now a god.
    • She is however grateful for another chance at life, and has decided to dedicate her time in Pantheon to make amends to the others of her world, and hopefully make reunite with the rest of her family.
  • Ragna was the first to greet her. Happy that she was no longer an enemy, he and Rachel are currently working alongside her to improve her relationship with the other BlazBlue deities.
    • So far things have gone smoothly with the other ascended Six Heroes. Valkenhayn is glad that the two of them are no longer on the opposing sides, and for that he can finally thank her for saving him against Terumi as Phantom. Hakumen is grateful that she is no longer a threat or danger to the world and its Order, and is also silently supportive of her attempt to make amends.
  • Kokonoe didn't want to see her mother for quite some time holding herself up with "new projects" she had been working on until one day, which saw the witch meet with the young professor... to give her a gentle hug while shedding tears of sorrow.
  • As Nine is the creator of Ars Magus she very well respected in the House of Magic Science and and even the house of Knowledge, for being able to understand how both work and for combining them together. She regularly visits the many residents of both to learn more, and to spend some quality time with her daughter.
    • A testament to how how great Nine’s magical abilities are, was when Merlin, both male and female came up to her and complimented her abilities and on the creation of the Nox Nyctores. Especially the Corpus Sepulcro: Requiem. A Nox capable or reshaping the entire multiverse
    • While many evil technological gods (and some good ones) will say that science is superior they prefer to avoid conflict with Nine as she created a virus that completely trapped Takamagahara, an omniscient supercomputer that ruled over time and space.
  • Nine would like others to know that there is a reason for why she’s called Nine instead of her actual birth name. One, she doesn't like it. Two, when becoming a member of the Ten Sages they are no longer who they were and are now one of the ten Sages.
  • Naturally, she and Terumi completely despise one another. Terumi hates her for using him against his will like a puppet during the Dark War. Nine in turn hates him for manipulating her best friend's (Trinity) love for Kazuma, to set him free only to then kill her, banish Nine into the Boundary, later do the same with Hakumen (even if he got dragged in with him), and ultimately force her husband Jubei to abandon their only daughter Kokonoe. And then also killed her sister after escaping the Boundary, and later used HER as his own personal puppet. Not to mention either directly or indirectly cause every ounce of pain and misery in her world.
  • When questioned why she would willingly work with Relius Clover, she replied that she knew how he thinks. Because Relius was the leader of the Ten Sages she knew that if it can interest him, he'll willingly aid you no problem. This doesn't mean however that she enjoys working with him. In fact, she actually hates him. Not only in his involvement for everything wrong in her home world, but also for being a despicable father.
    • It's actually because of her hatred for abusive parents that lead her to becoming enemies with Medusa, Ren Gyokuen, Ghetsis and Ragyo.
  • Madoka and her fellow magical girls weren't sure how to feel about the phantom. While they sympathized with her backstory, the girls understandably were hesitant to consider her not as an enemy, let alone something they could trust all except for one of them. That being Homura Akemi, the girl was more interesting to hear about her goals of remaking the world to where both her family and everyone else could be happy. She wonders if there is potential in working with Nine.
    • Nine on her part, pities Homura and her former friends. Wishing for the best of them, and that everything will work out in the end.
  • Besides the other magical girls, Nine also pities Zerf. For his curse of immortality and everyone he ever cared for dying around him. Nine admits that she probably would have ended up the same if something happened to Celica, and she almost did.
  • Nine has a great amount of respect for both the likes of Bayonetta, and Edward Elric. Bayonetta for being a powerful witch who can take down waves after waves of enemies, and make it look easy and beautiful. Edward for being a protective older brother, willing to go to hell and back for his younger brother Alphonse. As well as being a powerful and knowledgeable alchemist.
    • The meeting between them was an interesting one, Nine was simply traveling by he lonesome before she was attacked by a group of Angels from Paradiso, she fended them off easily but was assisted by Bayonetta herself. After the fight they became more acquainted with one another and became allies. This new friendship later made her acquainted with Jeanne, Rodin and Father Balder.
    • Her meeting with Edward was... also interesting. Ed had heard on how she created the Nox Nyctores and wanted to give her a piece of his mind. But deciding to know more about what she could have done instead, he went to The Truth for answers. He was not prepared for what he was about to learn. There was no other way. The literal possibility didn't exist. There was no other reality where the Beast could have been defeated in a different manner. The sacrifice had to be made. When he confronted Nine about the subject, he apologized and for his mistake and for not fully understanding the situation. Nine said that it wasn't a problem, and asked if it would make him feel better that she was initially going to release the souls used after the war, but was stopped due to Terumi's betrayal. It did.
      • Although she'd never admit it. Nine is secretly jealous of how both Bayonetta and Edward were able to patch things up with their respective fathers. She initially ''tried' to work things out with hers. But in the end it only got worse than before. To this day she still hates him for building a weapon with the design of using her sister Celica as a living sacrifice.
  • By chance meeting, Nine had encountered Ochaco Uraraka, a young hero in training, with the power over gravity. After a quick conversation they soon took a liking to each other. Being a Gravity Master herself, Nine offered her help in improving her abilities and becoming a better hero. Their friendship grew after Nine learned that Ochaco plans to aid her family's financial problems by becoming a hero. This reminded Nine somewhat if her becoming one of the Six Heroes to insure that her younger sister Celica wouldn't have to perform what would have been a Senseless Sacrifice to momentarily stop the Black Beast.
  • Has recently been Clashed Fates with various other gods. This has led her to be introduced to team RWBY (and by extension team JNPR) and various members of both SEES and the Investigation Team.
    • She quickly became friends with the young Hunters and Huntresses. Ruby being fascinated with the weapons she created. Nine playfully calls Weiss princess, but Weiss corrects her as 'heiress'. Nine and Yang get along with one another, after realizing that they're very similar, ironically Yang is more calm and less overprotective over her younger sister. Nine likes Blake for being calm, collective and some theorize that it also because she's a cat. No word on what they think of that as of yet.
      • Her friendship with team RWBY lead to Cinder becoming an enemy. Nine on her part doesn't think much of her, or her "power".
    • In regards to the Persona users, Nine has grown fawn of Aigis, Labrys, and Yukiko specifically. Believing that her daughter would enjoy meeting them. The two sisters also expressed enjoyment in meeting her, not knowing that they already knew her as Kokonoe. She also sees great potential in Yukiko becoming a witch, Nine is even considering making her an apprentice.
    • It was there when Nine had met Carmine. While they didn't start too badly, they ultimately found themselves becoming enemies. At the end of their tag team, Nine soon realized that he was completely insane, an absolute ass and more importantly, he called her old
  • Upon hearing how Jubei and Nine managed to give life to Kokonoe, the reactions were mixed from shock to joy, and some even wanted to see how these two could even have sex with each other.
  • "What a shame, seems I've overestimated you."

  • Ragna the Bloodedge was once a simple young boy that lived with a Nun, and his two younger siblings at a secluded church in the middle of the woods. But everything changed when Yuuki Terumi tricked his younger sister, butchered the Nun, set the church on fire, possessed his younger brother into cutting off Ragna’s right arm and then leaving him for dead. Ever since that day Ragna had sworn revenge and grew to become the notorious SS class Criminal as well as the dreaded Grim Reaper. Ragna has with the power to end all life in the world, has ended the lives of over a hundred NOL soldiers, and has admitted to actively hating everything in the world thanks to all the tragedies he’s suffered throughout his life. But at the end of the day he’s still a good man, just don’t expect him to be nice.
  • Is often seen with Sol Badguy, for various reasons. Though, Sol himself feels kinda uneasy since Ragna sounds kinda like the guy he loathes the most.
  • While Ragna is mostly a loner at heart, he’s sometimes been seen by the side of Noel Vermillion. One of the few people he’ll openly admit to care about. This is because Noel is his reincarnated sister Saya. Keep in mind, he is very protective of her, so it’s best to keep away.
  • When he heard the voice of Nu-13 resounding throughout the Pantheon, his eyes immediately widened and he suddenly burst off running as fast as he could. Eyewitnesses say that this is what would have happened if he had not collapsed after meeting the Ghost Lady.
    • Things have become very complicated between the two do to certain events. Because of what happened in her homeworld, Nu is now an Empty Shell thanks to Hakumen. Many gods believe her to have deserved her fate, but Ragna has been shown to regularly visit her under Noel’s care.
  • When he learned Lambda-11 had ascended, he instead very hesitantly approached the Murakumo, as he had not forgotten what she did for him once. The result was a very tentative friendship.
    • But she eventually proven herself to be one of if not "the" most loyal of his allies. Lambda has openly admitted that she’s willing to do anything Ragna would ask. Many gods have [[shiptease teased]] him about this.
  • Is glad that his formerly psycho brother Jin Kisaragi has repented and is proud to see him grow both as a person and as a fighter. Ragna has great faith in Jin, sighting that once Jin fully grows and realizes hit true potential, he will become Ragna’s greatest enemy. With the existence of Hakumen, Ragna’s belief may have some merit.
  • While Ragna is mostly annoyed with the appearance of Rachel Alucard, he regularly does whatever she asks of him to do. Reason? Rachel was the one that saved his life so many years ago, and she’s also one of Ragna’s oldest friends. Although some gods believe it to be something more.
    • It’s because of her that Ragna is acquainted and then allied with both Raiden and Alucard (Castlevania). And unlike Ragna, they are very much aware of how Rachel feels for him.
  • Often seen in the House of Food, since he's really good with meat dishes. No one can understand how can someone with his attitude can cook really good. When hearing the comments, he simply shrugged it off.
    • It's here where he met and befriended both Shirou and Archer. When he heard about Archer’s status as a Counter Guardian, it reminded Ragna of the Power of Order and brought Ragna to see the similarities between him and Hakumen. After that Ragna later took notice that Shirou's desire to help in anyway he can reminded him of how Jin used to be as a kid. Neither Shirou or Jin enjoyed the comparison, Archer how found it hilarious.
  • Lately shown to be comforting a crying Heart after she was being ridiculed by Sasuke Uchiha for promoting love instead of hatred. Though Ragna doesn't necessarily like such heavy promotion of love, he didn't seem to mind this girl.
  • Avoids houses of anyone affiliated with ghosts (Yuyuko, Scorpion, Casper and the Ghost Lady). The last time he did that, he let out a loud girly scream and it embarrasses the hell outta him. This was deeply regretted by Scorpion who found some common things to relate with Ragna. Same goes with Freddy Krueger, something which disturbs him, since he's more or less a 'ghost' in 'dreams'.
    • Upon encountering the Ghost Lady, Ragna didn't even scream - he collapsed on the spot, having suffered the equivalent of 10 heart attacks at once, as diagnosed by Dr. Litchi Faye-Ling, the most she's seen out of anyone who has encountered it. He was also noted as waking up a week later screaming at the top of his lungs, forcefully, as someone (presumably Terumi) left an MP3 player at his bedside playing the Ghost Lady's theme in secret. This is how the scream sounded as emulated by this certain mortal named Gintoki Sakata. Although he tried denying screaming like a little girl, nobody was fooled.
    • Ever since Scorpion regained his humanity, Ragna feels a bit more at bay with him, but is still reluctant to meet him at his temple. That being said, though, Ragna feels much better around Scorpion's apprentice, Takeda Takahashi.
    • He's obviously wary around Bloody Marie, but he does understand and sympathize with her desire for vengeance against those who wronged her and her best friend Peacock. Plus, she doesn't take shit from Rachel one bit, and that's something he can privately admire.
    • He has a similar disposition towards Squigly, though even he saw the sight of the zombie-girl happily devouring his meat dishes...kind of cute. He's also intrigued by her Parasite Leviathan's words about him sounding like his rival, Samson. And when he finally met Samson and his host Filia, he befriended them both.
    • Ragna used to think that running into a ghost was the worst thing ever, and then he met Mako Reizei and Alice who's fear of ghosts is so great that when they encounter a ghost, Mako goes full-speed in reverse without looking where she's going; running over whatever's behind her tank, and Alice either passes out in a shivering mouth-frothing mess or nukes the entire area with magic.
      • On one occasion, a ghost (later known at Nue Houjuu) suddenly appeared before all three of them; while hugging each other and Screams Like a Little Girl, he noticed that Mako have fainted in his arms. In order to keep her from danger, he fought off his scare, Princess Carry her and running away as fast as Mako can handle while Alice blasted the the ghost before leaving her at the hospital. After having been thanked by her while under some gods prying eyes, their relationship has become a bit awkward. He swore to slash that Youkai to piece if he meet her again, making those same gods to Squee with their imagination and Mako reddened with embarrassment. Alice has done nothing to stop these rumors.
  • Recently has named Fujikido Kenji/Ninja Slayer as his high priest, largely because both of them seems to have a lot of things in common with each other.
    • And has been a faithful ally after he ascended. The two can be seen either eating together in a nearby stand, or battling against the various enemies they've made in Pantheon.
  • Has recently grew a begrudging respect on Kenshiro, seeing how many times he ruthlessly whacked Terumi's butt and unaffected with his massive plannings. Kenshiro is kind enough to let Ragna knew that he'll always reserve the final blow for Ragna, and to achieve that, encourages Ragna to steel himself, as Kenshiro has been crawling back from the depths of Hell to punish the wicked despite the miseries of his life... and it's Ragna's turn now.
  • Was also attacked by Hibiki Tachibana of the Music house on the basis that he might be a certain Dr. Ver in disguise and up for no good, on Hibiki's charge, what crossed Ragna's mind was, "Was it that two-personalities brat again!?". Ragna easily fended her off, until Hibiki's friends Tsubasa and Chris had her stop and explained the situation and who Ver is. Although Ragna forgives and befriends the Symphogear, he couldn't help but think if this Ver is a spawn of Terumi created to Troll him and smear his name.
  • Has a friendship with Grey, due to their similar attitudes and having to deal with both assholes and murderous family members possessed by dangerous evils. Ragna even let him copy one of his techniques to help him out against one of his foes.
  • He gets along well with Riven the Exile, due to their similar weapons, pasts, appearances, personalities, and their desire to right the wrongs against both themselves and others, though Riven's glad that Ragna chose a much more noble path. He's also kinda amused (and slightly disturbed) by the fact she sounds like a colder and more experienced Noel despite looking more like a girl version of himself.
  • He has recently become friends with Ruby Rose. She found his weapon, the Bloodscythe to be one of the coolest weapons she has ever seen (even though it isn't a gun). Ragna sees a bit of Noel in Ruby as well.
    • However, there was that one time where he caught Ruby, Ruby happened to grab his face to support herself from falling and their faces ended up getting really close. Ruby's team keeps teasing her about this, and the rumors of Ragna being a pedophile have gone off the charts much to both of their annoyances.
    • Tensions have been rising between Ruby and Ragna lately, brought on by the news that the two would soon have to fight each other. However, due to the fact that the fights are in Tag Team style match-ups, they're both hoping to get onto the same team, yet training each other in case they have to fight.
      • Yu Narukami and Hyde Kido can be seen occasionally training alongside the two. Jin on the other hand refused to join them after the first training session ended up badly for him. They, along with Ruby, have formed quite the unorthodox yet close group of friends, which has surprised those who are aware of Ragna's lone wolf tendencies. While he hates to admit it, he has a tendency to act as an older brother figure due to having what he calls "more city miles" on them. He sees a lot of himself within Hyde, often drops unusual but not unwanted nuggets of wisdom on Yu, and can't help but rarely dote on Ruby. In fact, while they acknowledge that she is a powerful fighter in her own right and trust her to solve problems if she can do it on her own, any mistreatment of her is enough to send them all on a violent frenzy.
    • With his friendship with Ruby, Yu, and Hyde, along with having previously met them in the Tag Team tournament, Ragna had become well equated with the rest of the Investigation Team, team RWBY. Ragna doesn't mind them too much and genuinely respects some of them.
      • While they are no longer on opposing sides, he's still annoyed with Weiss and that stupid wanted poster. Blake is in turn annoyed on how casually he finds taking down enemies that she however finds difficult to deal with. Yang on her part genuinely likes Ragna, sees them to be similar to one another, but wishes that he would be more social.
      • The Investigation Team is genuinely kind and respectful towards Ragan, to which he finds great relief in with his usual treatment. Yosuke and Chie think he's nice, if a bit violent. Yukiko thinks his red coat is charming, and their shared connection with Amaterasu helps them get along even further. Naoto and Kanji were initially suspicious of him, but they quickly learned that he was a good person at heart. Kanji even willingly joined him in a battle against Hakumen and Rachel Alucard, because he considered Ragna and the team to be allies. Ragna respects them for his bravery.
      • While still annoyed with Vatista shooting him outside of battle and Orie for bringing the wanted poster,Hyde vouches for them and says that they can be trusted. So Ragna lets them off the hook.
  • His ultimate fate and the reason he cemented himself in his position was when after he was turned into a beastly abomination that wreaks havoc to everything despite his pleas for everyone to run. After he regained consciousness, he awoke with no memory of what happened or who he was. After going through a set of trials and hardships, Ragna regained his memories and discovered the truth of his world. Ragna then proceeded to enact his plan to save his family, the world, and the Master Unit. In doing so he battle against and defeated almost every fighter from his world, devouring both their Dreams and their memories of him. Defeated both Izanami, Nine and FINALLY killed Yuuki Terumi. Once he was finished putting an end to Terumi, Ragna had one last battle with his siblings and removed their memories of him so they wouldn't feel sad about him leaving. Ragna then proceeded to awaken Amaterasu from her dream and activate her powers one last time with his new Azure Flame Grimoire. Creating a new world where no god can interfere with it, bring the world back to that of man, and remove himself from existence. Now he stays beyond the Boundary forever alongside Amaterasu protecting her from those who would threaten to abuse her power.
    • Unfortunately not everything went exactly as he planed. Ragna wasn't able to fully remove himself from everyone's memories. Those of the Main House where left unaffected and five other individuals were able to vaguely remember his existence. They were Rachel Alucard, Ruby Rose, Yu Narukami and Hyde Kido. When they realized that they were missing someone from their memories, they went to investigate. As they continued searching, others realized that their memories were tampered with as well. Fortunately someone did know who they were searching for, unfortunately it was Hazama. Who proceeded to purposely withhold important information, and mock them by revealing the level of importance that the individual had towards them. This was especially bad for both Jin and Noel, as they were just informed that they completely forgot about having an older brother, that had gone through hell and back for them. It wasn't until they heard someone yell out DEATH SPIKE and attack Hazama did everyone calm down. They saw a White Wolf that they immediately recognized as Amaterasu, alongside a white haired man in red. But before they could as anything an Azure Light engulfed them, restoring everyone's memories, cue Tears of Joy from nearly everyone. As the world of Pantheon is different from their home world, Ragna could afford to allow everyone to remember who he is. While they would prefer to remember who he is at all time, they're content with being able to remember who he is now.
  • Not long after reuniting and restoring the memories of his friends and family, Ragna found Gilgamesh in his temple, sitting in a golden throne. When questioned why he was there, Gilgamesh said that he was simply curious to see the man who ended the age of gods and begin the age of man. Sighting that it reminded him of what he did in his mortal life as well. After a lengthy conversation Gilgamesh left, but has occasionally been seen alongside Ragna as well. Gilgamesh says that he’s somewhat interested in the man. Sighting that while he acknowledges his position as king, he simply doesn’t care about his position, power or influence and freely tells him how he feels about Gil whenever he’s given the chance. Apparently Gilgamesh actually respects some of these qualities in an individual and has found Ragna as an interesting way to pass of his boredom.
  • It should go without saying, but there is not a single being that Ragna hates as much, or can be hated by more than Ragna, then Yuuki Terumi. When Terumi revealed to Ragna that he was yet again still alive, saying that he wasn't happy would have been the understatement of the century. Ragna had sworn to one again end him, and that he wouldn't leave either a body, soul, or memory left behind.
    • His anger only increased when Hazama decided to show up in front of his temple as well. And to add more fuel to the fire, Hazama had once again brought along Ragna’s wanted poster. Now he’s being gunned down by multiple bounty hunters after his head.
  • It should be said, the Ragna that everyone sees in Pantheon is not the real Ragna, but an avatar instead. His real body (assuming he still has a body) currently lies beyond the boundary and past the Forbidden Gate. Due to his current status in his home reality, some have wondered if there is a potential connection between Ragna, The Truth and Yog-Sothoth. The answer is mixed
    • Ragna and the Truth both act as guardians to their own Gates (initially it was believed to be Es until Terumi revealed that the true guardian was Ragna all along), with incredible untold power and knowledge waiting on the other side. The two gates have what could be similar, yet different description as well, Truth's is "All is one, one is all" while Ragna's could be described as "where all endings begin and where all beginnings end".
    • Yog-Sothoth has a much closer connection with Ragan, thanks to the Azure Grimoire. The Azure Grimoire acts as a gateway to the Boundary, the pinpoint location of all time and space that also exist outside of it. Exactly like Yog-Sothoth, further belief on a possible connection is that there have been reports of an eye on Ragna's right hand during the few times he's activated his Grimoire. No confirmation from either of them as of yet.
  • During his down phase, he was chosen to fight a DEATH BATTLE! with Sol Badguy. But due to that, even Wiz and Boomstick was forbidden to even contact Ragna this way. Fortunately for them, the Pantheon gives an alternative: yank out a Ragna from another timeline where he is at his current peak strength and where shits hasn't hit the fan and set him up to fight Sol.
    • Once the fight actually happened, the judges were surprised how evenly Sol and Ragna ended up going against each other, all things considered. However, something about the Ragna that was used seemed to have been "faulty", as he transformed into Black Beast fully after Sol only did one significant stab at him, forcing Sol to activate full Gear mode to kill the Black Beast in one shot before anything worse would happen.
    • That wasn't even the last of the alternate Ragnas. It seemed that someone was able to create a white-coated clone of Ragna that possessed higher agility than the regular one and the ability to create duplicates of himself, in addition to several Hakumen clones. Dante was sent to dispose of these clones unbeknownst to him, but the clone Ragna destroyed the Hakumen clones and then managed to defeat Dante in precisely one minute, after which he disappeared. There's a bit of a search going on to find it, but no such luck yet. Wiz and Boomstick are supposedly sheltering him as an enforcer.
  • After the fiasco with the Ragna clone, both Dante and Ragna had decided to finally meet with one another face to face. The two got along surprisingly well, not really being bothered by their supposed conflicting personalities. Dante reminds Ragna a little bit of Kagura, and Ragna reminds Dante a little bit of Vergil.
    • After their initial meeting, Ragna would eventually be greeted by Vergil. Like with Dante, both believed that it was high time to meet one another, as they already knew their respective younger brothers. To the surprise of each other, they noticed that they were more alike to one another then to their similar colour coated, weapon wielding younger brothers. Both are practically opposites of their younger siblings, and their younger siblings were mostly annoying growing up (while they were admittedly a bit aloof). Both desired to become more powerful after the loss of their home, and were haunted by the memories. Both had performed a number of morally questionable actions, and initially had a strong disdain for seeing someone with a familiar face. Ragna with the Murakumos and Vergil with Trish. It was awkward for both, and they both agreed to never talk about it again.
      • After meeting the Sparda Twins, Ragna would eventually meet with Vergil’s son Nero. While Dante was similar to Ragna, and Vergil was very much like him. Ragna and Nero were almost exactly the same. Like with Vergil it was strange at first, but they soon got used to it and have remained on good terms ever since.
  • Ragna has become well acquainted with Velvet Crowe and [[Manga/Berserk Guts]]. Partly due to them a lot in common. All three are anti-heroes, with a Dark and Troubled Past involving the betrayal from someone they trusted, the loss of a loved one, the loss of a limb and even a little bit of their humanity.
    • It didn’t take long for Ragna to see the similarities between Velvet and and his younger sister Noel. But he chooses not to compare the two so much. The two also made an agreement, she would help deal with Terumi and in turn he would help against Artorius should he make it into Pantheon. This also extends towards Guts. They will help against Griffith, if he helps against Terumi and Artorius.
  • Despite what one might think. Ragna doesn’t necessarily interact with others who bare the same title of [[namestorunawayfromreallyfast Grim Reaper]], at least until his latest actions in the mortal world. When others saw how he single handedly took down almost every other god from his home world and then later proceeded to The Susanoo, others had finally began to notice him. They later learned that the title was something he gave to himself. But was given to him from fear, not from his sword Aramasa, not from his power, but from the sheer number of NOL soldiers he killed in the first night when he went to war with the Library. Some Reapers have formed a bit of a rivalry between them and Ragna due to this.
    • Gig was one of the first to meet up with him. When he did, Ragna was currently trying out a new recipe that Gig was incidentally very familiar with hotpods. The two get along surprisingly well, it could be attributed to the fact that both are incredibly foul mouthed, have zero care for authority, and are one of the most dangerous and feared individuals in their respective worlds. Although their relationship borders on Vitriolic Best Buds. Gig will regularly call Ragna Rags, knowing full well that he hates it, and Ragna will in turn call Gig an ass.
    • Death the Nephilim soon met Ragna as they walked past one another before they were ambushed by a small army of angels. Neither were remotely fazed, or surprised by the sudden attack. It didn’t take long to finish them and when all was said and done, Death had grown a sense of respect for the younger reaper. His reason?
    Death: “It takes a special set of skills to turn the land into image of Hell, using the corpses of Angels.”
  • When word of Ragna possessing a power of the True Azure many gods have confronted him about it. Either to take it for themselves, or to convince him to place it into Maximum Security, Batman was one of them. Every time he went to Ragna, Batman would return with no memory of the subject entirely. After multiple confrontations, other gods have grouped together to confront Ragna as well. They too would lose their memories of the event and subject. This would continue until the only ones who were aware of what the subject were those whose power were beyond Ragna’s reach, chose to keep the information towards themselves, or simply trusted Ragna to know what he was doing. One might wonder how Ragna was able to do this so effectively. The answer, Batman had planned the entire thing. He cooperated with Ragna into having others believe that he would continuously erase his memories. [[BatmanGambit Eventually leading others to approach Ragna himself, so that he could erase their memories. With Batman’s planned traps and Ragna’s use of Phenomena Intervention, the plan went off without a hitch.
