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.

Before I post the profile, I would like hear some last thoughts about the last minute changes I did. Is there anything I need to do? Any mistakes I need to fix?

  • Lesser Gods
  • Symbol: The Giant Peach
  • Theme Song: That's the Life for Me
  • Alignment: Neutral Good
  • Portfolio: Originally a bunch of arthropods, and a worm transformed into something more human-like, Becomes James' Family of Choice in the end, Only referred to by the name of their species
  • Domains: Arthropods, Anthropomorphism, Family, Dreams
  • Allies: James Henry Trotter, Flik and Z, All good deities in the House of Insects, Sig, Agitha, and Shino Aburame, Jiminy Cricket, Jack Skellington, Madeline, Cinderella, Satoko Houjou, Carrie White, N, Aqua, Gardevoir (Friendship) and Gallade, Candy White, Cherna Mouse and Tepsekemi, Steven Universe, Pearl, Amethyst, Garnet
  • Enemies: All evil deities in the House of Insects and Arthropods, Oogie Boogie, Lady Tremaine, Ozai, Scar, Ghetsis, The Sorceress
  • Complicated Relationships: Rhydon
  • Back when James was living under his abusive aunts, he was given a bag of magical "crocodile tounges" that he accidently dropped near a peach tree, causing a giant peach to grow on the tree. When James enters the peach, he discovers a group of bugs, arthropods, and a worm inside, who were all transformed by the peach into a more human-like state. James would befriend the bugs, and together they journeyed all the way to New York City, surving many obstacles and even facing the rhino that killed James' parents. As soon as they arrived, they were there to witness James stand up to his aunts and they come to his rescue. With that, they adopt James and become his new family.
  • One day in the Pantheon, a Giant Peach made an unexpected appearance. Upon hearing this, James Trotter immediately went to check and see if his foster family are there. Sure enough, the bugs he had befriended emerged from the Giant Peach and made their way to greet him. The family was back together again.
  • After the Bugs are given their own temple in the form of their house, these new deities would go around the Pantheon, meeting gods that were either unnerved or fascinated by them. Of the latter, Shino Aburame, Sig, and Agitha were the most interested in them, being Friend to Bugs.
  • The bugs would befriend other insect deities within the Pantheon, such as Z and Flik, both of whom had worked to save their fellow insects. Their also fascinated by both the benevolent insect like monsters Mothra and Mothra Leo, as well as the Bug-Type Pokemon that are in the Pantheon. The latter actually makes them wonder if they were Bug-Type Pokemon, then James would likely be their trainer.
    • Of course, there are also some evil bugs within the Pantheon. Oogie Boogie is a sack of bugs that sadistically tortures people, something that outright disgusts them. Swarm is practically a swarm of bees in the shape of a human, and the way he became the super villain he is outright horrifies them. Megagurius, The Terraformers, and the Radiance are probably the biggest enemies they have amongst insects. Queen Sectonia, on the other hand, they pity due to how she was once a benevolent ruler who fell to corruption out of a vain desire to be beautiful.
      • In the House of Arthopods, Miss Spider severely dislikes Black Arachnia and Shelob, because they give spiders a bad name. Arachne seems interested in her and wants her to join her cause, but Miss Spider wants nothing to do with her.
  • The Bugs have a complicated relationship with Rhydon, a rhinoceros-like Pokémon. A rhino had (allegedly) eaten James parents, and it served as their last obstacle on the trip to New York City, but Rhydon is nothing like the rhino in question, only counting as a villain because he's Giovanni's partner.
  • The Bugs are interested with Cherna and Mei, who were also animals changed into a human-like form. However, whereas the Bugs befriended James because he treated them with kindness, Cherna only works for those stronger and taller than her. Other than that, the deities do have similarities in their loyalties to the people they care about.
  • James and his family immediately became good friends with Steven and the Crystal Gems, who are a surrogate family like they are. Both Steven and James enjoy hearing the other's tale (Steven's journey to both restore the corrupted gems and bring peace between Earth and the Gem Homeworld, James' journey to New York City in the peach) and how they grew as people (Steven becoming more understanding of the conflict, James' becoming more courageous).
  • The Bugs all heavily dislike the Sorceress, not just for having the rhino-like Rhynocs as minions, but for also targeting young children, even if they are baby dragons. The Bugs promised that as long as they live, she will never come near another child again.
    • The Bugs also severely dislike all evil deities in the House of Family, as well as any abusive relatives in general. They won't even hesitate to give Lady Tremaine, Ghetsis, or a powerless Ozai the same treatment they did to James' Aunts.

@Flameal

You're at the right place. Do you want to to put them in as a deity? You need to give that character a trope to be allowed (unless it's Meals, the only time tropeless deities are allowed). I don't remember if that character was ever here.

[down] Oh, well go ahead, but I notice you made some spelling errors in that post, so make sure to double check. You don't need to ask permission to add info in trivia unless it's a major rework.

@227someguy: This is just a suggestion, but maybe you could add some including Juzo Sakakura for Abbacchio. This because Sakakura made the tragic mistake of letting Junko free due to having blackmail material on him. They also share the same Japanese voice actor in the anime and Abbacchio's feelings towards Bruno seem to have some romantic undertones, but it's clear that he is undying loyal to Bruno in the same way Sakakura is to Munakata. Also they both instantly Dislikes the New Guy.

What should be added to the Gorosei?

The Five Elders, Divine Quintet of Villainous Reactionaries (Heads of the World Government, the Gorosei)

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/op_gorosei.png
  • House: Motivations For Evil (House of Villains)
  • Greater Gods
  • Symbol: The flag of the World Government, and The Empty Thronenote 
  • Theme Song: The World Government Theme
  • Alignment: Lawful Evil (claim they're Lawful Neutral)
  • Portfolio: Little Screentime Yet Run The World Government, Evil Reactionary, Empire with a Dark Secret, Supposedly Necessarily Evil, Act As An Individual, Knight Templar, No Name Given, The Omniscient Council of Vagueness, The True Antagonists Of The Series, Actually Being Subservient To The REAL Big Bad, Imu
  • Domains: Government, Conspiracy, Law, Tyranny
  • Followers: The Jnanamukti, The Republic of Gilead, The Sons of the Harpy
  • Superior: Imu.
  • Underlings: All deities working for the World Government
  • Allies: YHVH and the Grand United Alliance of Law, The Sibyl System, Yaldabaoth, Copy X, Light Yagami
  • Teeth-Clenched Teamwork with: High Councillor Kal-El, The SCP Foundation
  • On poor terms with: The House of Analysis and Records
  • Enemies:
  • Emerging out of the enigmatic Void Century from an alliance of 20 kingdoms, for 800 years the World Government has been just that; a world-spanning government dedicated to maintaining justice and order. That said, the heads of the government known as the Five Elders or Gorosei are dedicated mostly to preserving their status quo. Engimatic yet with undeniable authority, they oppose pirates like the Straw Hats who might try to take down their government, and those who might expose the World Government's secrets like the events of the Void Century.
  • The Five Elders were skeptical of entering the Trope Pantheon at first, but upon learning that the Straw Hats have gotten powerful allies there and there are many who's rebellious spirit is a threat to their regime, they felt it was time for action. They quickly pledged their allegiance to YHVH and the GUAL, finding an instant rapport to the conformity, order and stability that the alliance promises. The God of Law was very happy to see them under His wing.
  • Claim to be Lawful Neutral, however their actions say otherwise. They default to Treachery Cover Up when something potentially embarrassing happens on their watch, rewrite history to be favorable and will resort to genocide to eliminate the chance someone exposing seriously damning truths like the events of the Void Century. This led them to become chummy with Light Yagami, who's ability to enact justice through the Death Note would be a powerful tool for maintaining their status quo and swiftly eliminating anyone they fear.
  • Sage Harpuia was repulsed by their destruction of Ohara just to cover up their past, or how they condoned the "Massacre of the Innocents" to eliminate Gol D. Roger's heir. It reminds him too much of Copy X's Moral Event Horizon. Copy X, by contrast, respects the World Government for thier enforcement of justice and order, and has decided to align Neo Arcadia with the World Government. The Five Elders have agreed to this, but first hope to purge Dr Weil's influence on Copy X and get rid of him due to his past and the cataclysmic Elf Wars reminding them all too much of the Void Century. Weil himself was made an Un-person in Neo Arcadia due to his heinous actions, not so different from the likely detail the World Government is trying to close up.
  • Their hypocrisy about justice is well on display as they permit the World Nobles to be above the law. Amazingly, Akainu has called out their appeasement with the Nobles and obsession with maintaining their image. Senator Armstrong was revolted by this as well, and wants to bring down the World Government so a new and better society can emerge. The Five Elders consider him a major ideological threat for this.
  • General rebels on their hit list they fear destroying their status quo include V, Shogo Makishima and Lelouch Vi Britannia. They hate Jack Sparrow for reminding them of the pirates causing their organization trouble, and Edward Teach for his troubling acts as Blackbeard. Because Rorschach's uncompromising views would have him expose the truth regardless of the societal consequence. And the Five Elders undeniably hate Lucifer and the GUAC for what they stand for and how their government is the very thing Lucifer loathes and hopes to bring down.
  • Researching the ancient ponegylphs is absolutely forbidden in order to prevent the secrets of the Void Century from being exposed. Their argument for why is to prevent weapons of mass destruction from being unveiled. In their hopes of containing secrets they have made a difficult peace agreement with the SCP Foundation to help hide away such damning secrets while also helping to contain anomalies. Neither side trusts each other at all, but for now it's better than antagonizing one another.
  • The Five Elders have a poor relationship with the House of Analysis and Records due to their fear of them deciphering the ponegylphs, but at least know it's more trouble than it's worth to outright antagonize them. They have ended up antagonizing Indiana Jones because his skill at archaeology might lead him to decipher the Void Century, and Lois Lane given she's looking for the big scoop and would try to seek information about it. This has hurt their chances of aligning with the Regime version of Superman, who otherwise is happy to help because of his belief in conformity and forceful justice needed to save mankind.
  • They found much in common with the Sibyl System, and Yaldabaoth's desire for control and obedience. Their alliance with the latter has put them up against the Phantom Thieves, who wish to cure the fundamentally corrupt yet enormously powerful nature of the World Government, particularly parasites such as the World Nobles. This frustrates the Five Elders, but they're hoping it remains just frustration.
  • They are in fact subordinate to the true head of the World Government, Imu. As Imu's very existence betrays the utter hypocrisy of what they supposedly stand for, it is an absolute secret that they must not let anyone know or else the fall of the World Government will be a Foregone Conclusion. Not even their most trusted allies in the pantheon can know of Imu's existence.

Since I don't follow the comics, I'd like some help with this profile.

Anyone who has taken care of giant creatures on a regular basis? Does this even warrant a serious enough rework to heed discussing here?

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

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/cliff5.gif
  • The reason for his huge size was because of his owner's love for him. That was why he initially ascended under Cute Giant, given how he looks despite his size. However, this was shortly changed after it was realized just how small Clifford was before he grew up, and so his trope was changed.
    • Probably due to this love-charged growth, Clifford's size tends to be inconsistent. He is often shown as being about 25 feet tall from paws to head, but can appear far larger.
  • He doesn't appear to mark his territory, and many gods are glad about it; they cannot imagine cleaning up after him. It's bad enough that Amaterasu's have a chance to blow up.
  • Speaks Animal Talk, which means he cannot be normally understood by humans (or most other sapient humanoid races), unless they Speak Fluent Animal, such as Eliza Thornberry.
  • He has been friendly to Jake, another dog deity in the Pantheon, though Jake likes to grow larger than Clifford, seeing the giant dog as competition for the title, even if he no longer holds Big Friendly Dog anymore.
  • Clifford is one of the few deities who can approach Sif's temple without instant hostility for some reason. This does not extend to anyone else tagging along with the big red dog, however.
  • He was happy to see fellow PBS deities (although he is unaware of the channel's existence) like Mr. Rogers, Curious George, and Barney in the Pantheon, though in Barney's case, he is rather dismayed by the fact that he (initially) joined for an…unflattering reason. Though Barney doesn't clearly mind.
  • When he first encountered Dag, he was intimidating enough for Clifford to immediately run away. Funnily enough, because of Clifford's size, Dag was also inclined to run, and tends to stay away lest he get stomped by the big red dog.
  • Bigby is among those who gets along with Clifford, given that he used to be the runt of his mother's litter. His true form also tends to be enormous, too.
  • Given his sheer size, Cruella is very much looking forward to getting his thick red pelt. And given she once ordered a hunt on a zoo captive and was willing to kidnap pets...
  • Indigenous to the Rotten Vale (and by extension the Coral Highlands) is Odogaron, a large canine-looking Fanged Wyvern. Noteworthy to its species is its viciousness, ten claws on each individual foot, and visceral red appearance. The last attribute lead the Monster Hunters and many others to nickname it Clifford. He, understandably, does not appreciate the sentiment.

I could work Momo in the future. I haven't watched the current season but i'm far ahead in the manga and i'm honestly not sure if having Eri ascended now would be a good idea.

I guess i could call dibs on Dabi too but considering the potential Captain Obvious Reveal we might get in the future, i could hold onto it for the future.

Here is a rough draft for the next profile I'm working on. Ser Barristan Selmy. There's a few flavour texts I plan on adding later but I'm curious to know what other allies or enemies could be added to this.

@M1gami: For Bedman, Token Evil Teammate for the Dream Protectors, maybe?

[down]I see. Well, Selmy's profile needs to reflect that. Bazzard needs to be notified.

[up] Adding Palpatine to the enemies list, or the list of those he opposes.

Add Samurai Jack and Ashi to allies and Aku to those he opposes.

Add Dark Link and Scar to enemies.
