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]](https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Thumbs_up_emoticon_3268.png "[thumb up]")
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 new and reworked deities, 3
- 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.
- For new Treasures or Dominions, 3
- 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.
- 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
- 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.
- First thing to do before present a profile is to go to the Trope Pantheons discussion thread
- 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.
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.

I asked whether Bedsheet Ghost fits King Boo since he doesn't actually resemble a bedsheet. He still has King Mook, though.
Excessive-Menace gave approval to remove. Who else does?
I also got a new idea.
- ???, God/dess of Early-Game Healers
- Candidates: Minwu, Wrys and/or Lena
The latter set an archetype in Fire Emblem (though maybe only Wrys fits best for it). the first is the first in Final Fantasy, and pretty powerful, too. He's temporary, but I think it still works.

Well, if he's Intermediate, he may not be welcome in the Main House. I'll change it to Greater God unless it turns out that's still too high.
You have a point about King Boo's status as a Bedsheet Ghost, but let's see what other folks think.

Ferot_Dreadnaught has an adoptable idea involving giving the Pac-Man ghosts Blue with Shock.
As for Bedsheet Ghost, one idea I was thinking of involved giving it to Yu and Rei. They're ghost twins who wear white cloaks with them as, according to Yu, the pair wouldn't be taken as ghosts otherwise.

Thanks. I'll get to that soon. It's late here, and I'm using my phone.
Anyway, I got another idea.
Who do I give Title of the Dead to?
Option 1: I give them to the protagonists of The House of the Dead (and join G with them). That said, I planned on giving G and Rogan from 1 and James and Gary from 2 Narm Charm. Maybe they can take both.
Option 2: I give them to the High School Of The Dead main party led by Takashi, thus merging Rei and Saeko's profiles in the process.
I'm inclined to Option 1, BTW.

Speaking of Game & Watch, his profile in Space Manipulation is the pre-rework one. Do we remove it or replace it with the reworked profile?
@Nightelf
I reccomend that you don't repost the same two profiles on every page, because sometimes we might not have ideas for your profiles, and seeing the same profiles over and over with no changes might get annoying after a while. Instead, you can repost more sparsely (like every 3 days) and develop and expand on trivia in the profile in your sandbox. That might be better instead of getting fasoman pissed off for the umpteenth time, which really gets annoying.

- Dislikes: Doctor Manhattan, the House of Betrayal
- The Genie is a being of phenomenal cosmic power, locked away for 10,000 years in a lamp within the Cave of Wonders. Eventually he was found by Aladdin, who was given three wishes. Ultimately Aladdin wished for his freedom with the third wish, freeing Genie from having to make wishes. Bursting with energy, the Genie is a benevolent figure and a friend to those good at heart. He also knows a lot of pop culture references, despite being present centuries before them and sealed millennia before that.
- His phenomenal cosmic powers were lusted after by many mortals while he was bound to his lamp, but since being set free he answers only to good-hearted people and deities — particularly those in love with people above or below their station, as the list of followers will attest (Unfortunately for Satine, he cannot invoke Disney Death). Melkor wants the Grand United Alliance of Evil to enslave Genie and make him grant wishes to aid his evil cause.
- Has three rules; no killing, no making people fall in love(presumably every violation of free will is forbidden), and no bringing people back from the dead. Well he sort of can, but it's not a pretty picture. Also, no Wishing for More Wishes. Of course thanks to the nature of the pantheon most present don't care about Rule #3. The House of Undead are curious if the "not a pretty picture" would aid to their forces, but the Genie in no way humoring that. The house kind of creeps Genie out.
- While he is presumably forbidden from making wishes that violate free will, Babidi had a smart moment in wishing to capture him to wish his Majin spells to affect anyone regardless of their own will or morality. Sure, he can't wish to control, but who's to say he can't buff something Babidi already has for it? Frieza plans to inflict Cold-Blooded Torture on Genie until he begs to grant his wish: to be five inches taller.
- Hates slavery due to his history of being stuck in the lamp, and general morality. What the Slavers do, however, is so sickening it makes him wish he had the power to kill them. Of course as Jafar showed, you'd be surprised what you can live through, and Cristu Bulat is adamant they never get involved with genies.
- Despite being unable to kill, he has been known to pull some pretty violent tricks, like that time he used an elephant to blow away people, or the time he turned himself into a ninja army, or a swat team. Still, a hell of a lot cheerier than that other blue Reality Warper. The Genie thinks Doctor Manhattan's a stick in the mud, and his meddling with DC's timeline only makes him look worse to the Genie.
- Naturally gets along with the various benevolent genies in the pantheon. Timmy Turner was glad to see that Norm was more of an exception than a rule. Unfortunately there are a lot of malevolent genies in the pantheon, such as Calypso. He does pity Desiree though, due to her origins and feel she got a raw deal by her sultan.
- Erazor Djinn is seen as the Genie's Evil Counterpart. He was the genie from the original Aladdin story(well, an interpretation), but is a Jackass Genie looking to dominate the world. It's quite possible that Sonic is meant to be the Aladdin equivalent in a less obvious way. The Genie thinks so, and he's also a fan of the Aladdin from Magi: Labyrinth of Magic
- Often seen in Spargus City with clearing out sandstorms for the Wastlanders. How Sig was able to get the ability to summon Genie remains a mystery, but considering that he's friends with Aladdin, and only does the summoning whenever a wastelander is trapped in the desert (which is rare), Genie does not seem to mind.
- Has come to fear The Lich following his murder of Prismo. The Lich is simply frustrated at Genie's inability to kill, though is curious to see if there's a loophole to it. The Genie fears Lord Tirek as well, for his Mana Drain ability is something Genie has zero defense for. And woe be the day that Tirek has his hands on wish magic.
- Sometimes, if Genie was summoned by Sora, he'd be dressed in an outfit that represents a Drive Form, and will hold a fake Keyblade. His Limit Break depends on his form:
- "Valor": Sonic Rave (giant hand)
- "Wisdom": Strike Judgement (magic bullets)
- "Master": Final Arcana (spinning, then giant mouth)
- "Final": Infinity (punching and slashing, followed by an explosion)
- Currently mourning Sora's disappearance. While he's probably not dead, Genie can't grant any wish for him to return. After all, he only has semi-phenomenal cosmic powers since his freedom.
- On a more serious note, he's saddened at the suicide of his original voice actor Robin Williams. For his live-action incarnation, Will Smith played the role. He doesn't know why some people think he's Smith's Stand, though admits this form is a little bit creepy.
- Often hangs out with Homer Simpson, with whom he has felt a connection. Similarly, there's Earthworm Jim, who Genie decided to take on a trip to the Aladdin game. Fellow anachronist Honda Tadakatsu got the title from him... with the difference that Takadatsu is a Sengoku-themed Mecha.
CLU 2, God of The Impossibility Of Perfection (Codified Likeness Utility 2.0, Clu, Excellency)
- Note: Rework
- New House: Goals (House of Philosophy)
- Greater God
- Symbol: A Yellow Identity Disk
- Theme Song: C.L.U. (films); Gigabyte Mantis (Kingdom Hearts 3D [Dream Drop Distance])
- Alignment: Lawful Evil
- Portfolio: Polite, charismatic, and ruthless behavior, Cannot Create New Programs, Authority Equals Asskicking, From Nobody to Nightmare, Programming-Based Morality, Anything For A Perfect System, Yet Proving There Is No Thing, The Corrupter, Visionary Villain, The Computer Is Your Friend
- Domains: Technology, Rectification, Order, Programs, Control, Perfection
- Herald: The Commantis
- Allies: YHVH, Metatron, The Incubators, Zobek, Glados, Rassilon, Albert Wesker, Master Li, Relius Clover, Penelope Mouse, Lysandre, The Architect
- Enemies: Kevin Flynn, Sam Flynn, Tronnote , Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck, Goofy, Sora, Riku, Kairi, Otacon, Terra, Aqua, Ventus, Axel/Lea, Roxas, Xion, Daft Punk, Neo, Gabriel Belmont, Sly Cooper, Bentley Turtle, Murray Hippo, Jak, Daxter, Ratchet, Clank, Sam & Max, Rise Kujikawa, Homura Akemi, Sigma, Agent Smith, Mayuri Kurotsuchi, Teseo
- Rivals: the Master Control Program, Gleeman Vox, The Borg Queen
- Opposes: Ash Ketchum, Pikachu, Brock, Misty, Team Rocket
- Believes that as he was programmed to create the perfect system, he will continue to do so by ridding it of its imperfection even if that means causing Genocide. He wishes to ensure that in the Pantheon as well even if it causes many casualties as to him, it is to be sure that any system can run at its maximum efficiency.
- He has run into Sora and his friend Riku before as they attempted to stop him from achieving perfection and attempted to take Rinzler from him as Sora helped Tron in the past. Despite being a Disney Villain, Clu has no control over the Heartless. Not that it really matters, though, considering he's got control over the Nightmare Dream Eaters, with the Commantis being his signature one.
- He has learned that his creator Kevin Flynn is in the Pantheon and is attempting to confront his "Father".
- Clu is banned from the House of Technology as he has attempted to Rectify good A.I.s and robots of that house, including Tron. No one, especially Sora and Bentley, wants Tron to be reprogrammed back into Rinzler. Despite this, Clu is very determined to get back Rinzler, and is often seen trying to hack in. This was part of the reason why Tron and the Hacking Quintet formed the GUAG White Hats.
- Many are attempting to find a way to seal Clu as it seems that damaging Clu is next to impossible, the only thing that could kill Clu is Reintegration with Kevin Flynn but that could destroy them both. However, the only two people that actually seem to terrify Clu are Sam & Max. Seeing as how they've once destroyed the internet in their world with a biological weapon, his fear isn't unfounded.
- Anyone who threatens his goal for a perfect system is generally an enemy. Mayuri Kurotsuchi opposes it on principle due to loathing perfection, as he considers it a dead end. Teseo has also been added to Clu's enemies list, though for more important reasons: he has no problem trying to trash his plans in favor of his comrades' goals for creating a paradise for people like them. And he'd get a kick out of doing so. Teseo's power over physical matter and data makes him a serious threat to boot.
- He has heard of Superman's alternate self and wishes to bring him to the Pantheon with the help of Funny Valentine so they can perfect the Pantheon. While they didn't actually get to do that, the operation was a success.
- Is currently letting other evil members drop their enemies into "The Grid Games", letting them play until they have to fight either him or the Commantis, which is usually a no-win situation. Prior to 2012, Rinzler served as one of the champions… until he was defeated and freed by Sora. Unfortunately, Gleeman Vox has been getting more business with these arena battles, since at least his arena games, DreadZone, is on television. Clu is quite angry with this. Especially because his only "Exterminator" has already escaped.
- Is unsure why some would claim that he was the one who stated that Tony Stark was able to build his first Iron Man suit IN A CAVE!!!… WITH A BOX OF SCRAPS!!!. Albeit Clu admits that the while he's used to his unaging appearance, he could go for a Beard of Evil.
- Has decided to work along side YHVH in his Regime as to him, YHVH is the one to bring Order and Perfection to The Pantheon that to him has always been flawed and imperfect. Despite his computerized existence, Clu's not joining the Grand United Alliance of Machines as Law takes precedent over Machine Supremacy in his eyes. Mainly it's to avoid Sigma's Maverick Virus or Agent Smith from ruining his envisioned "perfect system". He does get along with the Architect however, due to trying to create a perfect system.
- There's been recent sightings of Penelope hanging out with Clu on his Throneship, implying that they are in a relationship, despite being different species (mouse and program, respectively). Bentley was said to be mortified by this news, though he believes that she's just using Clu to rebuild her reputation after her shocking betrayal caused everyone to cut ties with her. Because of this, Clu was dubbed an "enemy of the Cooper Gang" by both Sly and Bentley.
- Bentley was right on the money. Penelope has since ditched Clu for Vox, and is dating Reactor for his money.
- He would not want others bringing up the last moments of The Original Clu; he still has those moments in his memory and he does not like remembering those moments. After the MCP ascended, flashbacks of the original's deresolution became quite common for Clu. Homura Akemi has even used this against him as payback for Sora's battle with Tron and later derezzing the latter out of jealousy. Just hearing "I was waiting for this moment" is enough for Clu to suffer a panic attack, but at least he doesn't have to suffer from it too much, unlike Lady Tremaine.
- He's rather interested by Perfect Cell, though Cell disagrees with Clu's ideas of perfection. When asked by Clu what his idea of perfection was, Cell naturally pointed to himself, to which Clu scoffed "of course you'd think that". He feels that the Borg at least has a better foundation of the concept of perfection in what they're trying to achieve, just not one he agrees on.
- Steven Universe has been trying to convince Clu at least that his dash for perfection is an impossibility, hoping that he could get him to see the light as he accomplished with White Diamond, but Clu remains dismissive and believes he's naive. The idea that he is attempting an impossible task is an idea he is incapable of accepting.
- Unbeknownst to Clu, Clockwerk has been constantly visiting The Grid, seeing that Clu's pure hatred towards Kevin Flynn and Sora is quite tasty for him. Lady Tremaine probably is the only one to be tastier.
- Despite their antagonism, Flynn and Clu agree that they need to keep Ash Ketchum, his Pikachu, Misty, Brock, and Team Rocket out of The Grid, out of fear of another "Seizure Episode".

… For fuck's sake, I had that trope reserved for them way further than those three! Am I a joke to you lot?
Let me just post something to distract myself.
Medusa Heads, Deified Ledge-Guarding Enemies
Regular and Gold Medusa Heads alongside Medusa (normally not this cute)
- Demideities
- Symbol: Themselves
- Alignment: Neutral Evil
- Portfolio: Ledge-Guarding Enemies, Medusa (duh), Flying Heads, Petrification, Airborne Mook
- Domains: Snakes, Heads, Pits, Spikes, Stone
- Followers: The eagles from Ninja Gaiden, Up'n'Downs (and their relatives)
- Allies: Dracula, Medusa
- Enemies: Simon Belmont, Trevor Belmont, Sypha Belnades, Grant DaNasty, Jonathan Morris, Charlotte Aulin, Richter Belmont, basically any platforming hero Perseus, Luigi, Kratos, Percy Jackson
- Mixed Loyalty with Shanoa
- Amongst Dracula's hordes of darkness, one of the more stranger creatures are the Medusa Heads. Born from the severe head of Medusa, these creatures tend to fly around in wave-like motion. Sounds easy to deal with? Not so when they like to fly across pits.
- There are two kinds of Medusa Heads; Regular Medusa Heads and Gold Medusa Heads. The difference between them is that Golden Medusa Heads can petrify targets upon touch.
- Like to hang around clock towers, or towers in general. If not that, then definitely places with lots of spikes. This is particularly bad as those petrified by Medusa Heads take double damage from anything.
- How independent they are from the actual Medusa varies. They tend to appear without needing to have her around and Medusa herself rarely feels the need to summon them to her aid. Medusa herself also has different looks from being a disembodied head herself to being a Snake Person. Very rarely does she try to be a Gorgeous Gorgon (and even when she does, she can strike a mean face).
- The Medusa from House of Nature is not the Medusa where the Medusa Heads originate from, but they still hang around her if she's near.
- There have been attempts from certain gods to try to get them on their side. There have been two results: One is that trying to copy their powers gives the person ability to levitate in place. Second is that they can be used as familiars. They work very well as Orbiting Particle Shield.
- If you couldn't guess, they have a particular grudge against Perseus and will pursue him if they can. Same thing goes to Kratos as not only did he kill Medusa, but her sister Euryale and whole bunch of other Gorgons as well. They are also drawn to Percy Jackson, though they might not want him as much as they simply want to turn him into stone.
- Basically exist to proof the Nerd's point that anything what goes in wave motion is load of crap.
- Luigi is afraid of them due of having a sudden encounter with the Queen Medusa. On related note, they have a certain fascination with Mewtwo.
- Most likely are not off-springs of Mike Wazowski and his girlfriend Celia Mae. Mainly because how do two cyclopsi have babies with two eyes?

@RJ: For CLU 2, get rid of Zobek in the "Allies" section and link to Daft Punk in the enemies section. Also, since the Embryon Tribe are Digital People who were given organic bodies, I'm guessing that CLU 2 would view them as abominations and try to kill them.
for the Genie though.

@RJ: Also, have CLU be enemies with XANA. A program who desires 'perfection' and 'stability' will naturally hate a computer virus who continuously evolves in a chaotic virtual network, that has an aesthetic completely different from The Grid, and who has, through various methods, destroyed other virtual systems (Project Carthage in the backstory, and Lyoko in Season 3).
I wonder if people avoid me because of the tarantula...

Is this candidate for the Underground Monkey trope okay? Alolan Vulpix is an Ice-Type version of the normally Fire-Type Vulpix, and probably one of it's most well-known examples of a regional variant Pokémon. Granted, I would like to start working on it once Lillie is ascended.
Also, is it possible if I can hold on to the Bewear profile, since it's abandoned at the moment?
