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 charactersโ€™ importance to the Pantheonโ€™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 seriesโ€™ 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 charactersโ€™ 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 characterโ€™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 websiteโ€™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 Pokรฉmon deities only:
    • Gender: Defines the gender of the Pokรฉmon; if genderless, it instead defines what gender they identify as.
    • Ability: Provides the Pokรฉmon's ability. If they can Mega Evolve, the new ability is listed as well.
    • Moves: Defines the four moves used by a Pokรฉmon. 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 didn't expect any acceptance for my apology, anyway. I've sunk too deep in my terrible reputation. The Pantheon's potential is all that keeps me here despite all the well-deserved shit on me, but if the entire thread decides to gang up on my eviction, it just might convince me to leave TV Tropes altogether. Maybe.

Feedback Mode

Anyway, while I wait for the new Sartorius profile and a claimant for the Shining Armor rework, here are some different profiles.

AMS Agents Thomas Rogan, G, James Taylor, and Gary Stewart, Gods of Narm Charm] (Rogan: Eager Eagle, Rowgun, Logan | G: "Agent Gwendolyn", 'Genocide', Silver Fang)

Agent Gary during the 2000 Goldman Case
  • Agent G was the first of them to ascend, under the title One-Letter Name, and Isaac was there to greet him with an "About time, motherfucker!" G is just as happy to have his old friend in the Pantheon.
  • Applies to all or some of them:
    • As some of the most famous zombie hunters who ever lived, they naturally don't get along very well with members of the pantheon who have returned from the grave. This can range from mere distrust to outright contempt in the case of Dracula. The House of Vampires and, ironically, the House of Undead have strictly prohibited them from entry out of fear that they'll go on a rampage should they enter.
      • They also hold contempt for those whose experiments make mutants out of the undead, so they especially oppose Albert Wesker, his sister Alex, and their allies.
      • Speaking of the Weskers, the AMS agents occasionally assist Jill Valentine, Chris Redfield, Leon Kennedy, and their friends against those scientists and their Umbrella cronies, providing both access to the AMS database as well as their own skills as an undead creature killer. Once, on a desperate occasion, G even helped Simon Belmont in his fight against Dracula.
      • Dracula's resemblance to G and Rogan's arch enemy, Type-0 "The Magician", has not helped their icy relationship with the vampire. His past partner Kate's run in with the dantean monstrosity Type-β "The World" has also made G suspicious of whether Elsa had any hand in its creation because of its ice powers. They eventually cleared things up with the Arrendellian queen.
    • Technically speaking, save for the events in 1991, Curien's/Goldman's/Thornheart's forces aren't actually comprised of traditional zombies and are likely creations, thus creatures or mutants. For one, they straight up kill people rather than infect them. For another, they come in all shapes and sizes, wield weapons and elemental powers, and can even drive cars.
    • Badass Normals par excellence, between the four, they've killed enormous genetic abominations that can shoot fire, teleport, spawn endless electricity, fly, have multiple heads, swim, shoot webs, wield massive weapons, or manipulate ice. All while using only a six shot 9mm pistol, shotgun, or SMG (with Bottomless Magazines). Their colleagues have killed invulnerable giants, shapeshifters, and immortal evolving doomsday weapons while similarly armed.
      • As such, BOWs and the Special Infected are nothing special to them. Not even the Tank is that much of a problem, though Boomer bile might be a mite concerning.
    • Sometimes, during zombie-killing operations, instead of toting guns, James and Gary wear SEGA Dreamcast backpacks and keyboards and attack by typing words. Sometimes, it's a white PlayStation 2 instead of a Dreamcast, or a Mega Drive hooked to a tablet of all things, or even just an iPhone (and no backpack).
      • As for why the hell they even have such things, it's because they're Friendly Fireproof since they don't target non-enemy units. That said, without headshots, it means typing speed is the most important thing here.
    • Because they were used as both the code names and major inspiration for the primary undead strains he's fought, the agents were inherently mistrustful of Tarot cards and such motifs, and are uneasy around Nimue Inwudu as a result. And the Persona casts, who all bear various arcanas.
      • However, the Magician's ascension and their own repulse in the face of the mutant has changed G's opinion and they decided that cooperation was the better option.
    • Unlike Rogan, G never settled down and had kids, and thus regards his partner and his wife Sophie as the closest thing he has to a family. During the 1998 Curien Case, Sophie had gravely injured by the bardiche of Type-27 "The Chariot" and was almost considered dead; as a result, G and Rogan have grown to admire people who stay strong in spite of their disabilities.
  • While not fighting the same foes as V.S.S.E. or the Virtua Cops, the AMS Agents do spend some time collaborating with them given that they're pretty good shots. That said, it also drew the enmity of Wild Dog, and while he won't be working together with most of the AMS Agents' enemies, he can still interfere in their operations as a Wild Card.
  • Exclusive to Rogan:
    • <something about being a workaholic>
  • Exclusive to G:
    • Ever since his first mission in Louisiana, he's had a taste for sazeracs, and he'll quickly start acting more like his younger, cockier, edgier self after having a few. He also has a taste for country music.
    • An old wound he received from Kuarl of Type-28 "Judgement" acts up from time to time. Luckily, he's always been stoic in the face of pain, and only lets it affect him when he's not on the job.
    • He will never tell anyone what the G stands forโ€ฆ but if you were to guess 'Gangsta', he wouldn't try to deny it.
    • Hates being mixed up with William Birkin, who also goes by 'G' (and is allied with Wesker), But he's on pleasant terms with both Jake Muller and Sherry Birkin.
    • There've been rumors about G having "metallic"-tasting blood and behaving "mechanically". But he assures folks who ask that he's a 100% organic human being.
    • Among the stuff in his part of the temple is Varla Guns's brain. It's true that the Pantheon has means to get her back to her old body, but it's best that a trope be found for her first (whether she's to be a Pantheon deity or just a herald or high priestess).
  • Exclusive to James:
    • Just like with G, James has an old wound (on top of the one he received from Type-0001 "The Star") that acts up from time to time. Luckily, he's able to power through it, and only lets it affect him when he's not on the job.
    • Has been mocked for pulling a Stupid Sacrifice when the used his PDA-time bomb to destroy The World when he could've easily thrown it. Even if the Star had injured him and he wouldn't have lived for long, there were better ways to go in front of his partner Kate.
  • Exclusive to Gary:
    • As someone introduced to the conflicts they're fighting while they were just newcomers to the agency they are working for, out of all the Resident Evil heroes, Gary gets along best with Leon Kennedy.

@nightelf: I choose not to speak whenever you get ganged up on, but always remember you've got guys you can talk to on this website.

@Crossover: Congrats, you have passed bazzards for third place on the Pantheon Headers table, at 9 calls and rising.

[down] Not at all. If nightelf can't be trusted on this forum, he's better off reading the Pantheon rather than contributing to it. I merely said that if he's kicked out and is sad or mad about it, he can talk to me. Surely doing that isn't illegal. Please do not misunderstand, I have indeed seen his record in the forum. I choose not to speak up negatively when something like this happens merely because I don't want the same to happen to me.

Here's my honest opinion: If harsh opinions need to be given, they have to be given. Maybe it'll shake the guy out of his errors. Notice that I don't admonish those who give harsh feedback because I believe they are justified and need to be stated. I have my limits though. If it extends into hate speech (which so far hasn't been the case), then I'll speak up. I rest my case.

While he is among my valued circle of allies in this forum (the full list is on my tropers page), I choose to be unbiased should a user be in error. That said, where I can I will do everything in my power to help nightelf before things reach such a point. I acknowledge he is at fault here. I didn't intervene in the Saiou profile because I know nothing about the franchise at hand.

[down][down] It's actually possible to perma-lock your own pages?

The lock is gone. I'm going to re-edit Saiou now

@Nightelf: Saiou's profile shows that you have failed to develop that potential, by continuously attempting to link separate lores in hopes of creating a grand central lore...which was the weakness of the Old Pantheon profiles, as it created a sort of "superiority", mainly by giving everyone Personas, or trying to jump onto Lord Fuse as a way to give everyone Nanos. That doesn't develop things, it promotes a bad crossover that erases flexibility when enabling characters to interact with each other.

@Pantheon ETC in Musical Compositions has the ability to leap to anywhere in the map similar to him. Back in the day every single MOBA hero that shared an ability always interacted with one another and i wonder, considering his greek/roman appearance, if Pantheon knows about minotaurs considering ETC is a Tauren.

I feel like posting another draft for another profile. It's for the cast of Winnie the Pooh, a group merge profile that I got approval for a while back. Looking for suggestions for the group in general and individual interactions regarding them.

The Denizens of the Hundred-Acre Woodmembers , Patron Saints of Works Appealing Beyond Their Intended Demographic

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/the_many_adventures_of_winnie_the_pooh_characters.png
Left to Right: Owl, Christopher Robin, Kanga & Roo, Tigger, Eeyore, Pooh, Piglet, Rabbit
  • Demideities
  • Symbol: A "hunny" pot
  • Alignment: Neutral Good overall
  • Portfolio:
  • Domains: Life, Adventure
  • Herald: Gopher
  • Allies: Sora, Mole, Rat, Badger, & Toad
  • Hated by: Napoleon
  • Deep in the Hundred-Acre Wood, where Christopher Robin plays...you'll find in the enchanted neighborhood, of Christopher's childhood days. More to the point, the Hundred-Acre Wood is where Christopher Robin has his many adventures with his stuffed animal friends consisting of Winnie the Pooh, Piglet, Tigger, Rabbit, Eeyore, Owl, Kanga, and Roo. Although the original books were intended to appeal to a very young audience, the characters have managed to secure a following well older than their intended audience. It helps that they have received a bevy of animated adventures, beginning with some short films produced by Walt Disney, and having additional stories well after that.
  • As Pooh was getting ready to go about on his day, he found a door in front of a tree that he hadn't seen before. After a bit of musing to himself, he decided to see where that door would lead him to. After Pooh opened that door and walked through he, the bear managed to find himself in a place far removed from the peaceful serenity of the Hundred Acre Wood. He was very curious about what it was, and a short while later, he managed to find Christopher Robin in that place as well. Christopher Robin told Pooh that he and his friends would always find an adventure in unlikely places, including those beyond that of the Hundred Acre Wood. Pooh, Christopher Robin, and their friends have since accepted that this tree will be a gateway between the Hundred Acre Wood and the Pantheon, where others can visit them during the Pantheon's more quiet days.
  • The Hundred-Acre Wood was among the various destinations that Sora has visited during his travels. Unlike many of the places he has gone to, there hasn't been any real threats targeting the Hundred-Acre Wood, with most of the problems occurring there being minor personal problems pertaining to Pooh and his friends (and the only thing that resembled a significant event that occurred there was Pooh suffering from amnesia as a result of The Heartless attempting to attack the place and some pages getting torn in the process). Whenever he isn't busy on a major adventure, Sora sometimes visits Pooh and friends to check up on how they're doing and to simply relax.
  • Although Pooh and co. aren't really the types of deities to make any lasting enemies, there have been a few that have harbored a strong hatred towards the group. Among them include Napoleon, a tyrannical pig that firmly believes in animal superiority and is more than willing to eliminate those that oppose him. The thought of a place where animals and humans can coexist without much conflict such as the Hundred-Acre Wood was something that disgusted Napoleon and he wanted that place and its residents gone entirely. None of the Hundred-Acre Wood denizens have anything positive to say about Napoleon, with Piglet and Rabbit specifically having a more pronounced dislike of Napoleon compared to the others.
  • Winnie the Pooh, or Pooh for short, is a bear of very little brain and more or less the central figure of the Hundred Acre-Wood. He really likes honey and has pots of them at his home. While he is very much naive for the most part, he does have moments of brilliance every so often.
  • Christopher Robin is very much the only human within the Hundred-Acre Wood that Pooh and co. hang out with...and also the only human within that setting in general. Heโ€™s a generally chipper child and helps out Pooh and the others with whatever they need, effectively making him a leader of sorts for the group.
  • Piglet happens to be Pooh's best friend and is very timid, especially when it comes to things that he perceives to be dangerous. By default, his timidness makes it easy for him to get coerced into doing something the rest of the Hundred-Acre Wood gang wants, but heโ€™s able to put up a brave act if pushed far enough.
  • It's not much of a stretch to say that Tigger is easily the most hyperactive member of the Hundred-Acre Wood ensemble. Tigger has a springy tail and greets others by pouncing on them and spelling his name as T-I-Double-Guh-Er.
  • Given how eccentric this group of characters are, Rabbit would be the one that's sane in comparison and even then, he's prone to acting just as strangely as the others. While he makes the effort to present himself as a stern figure, misfortune befalls him on a regular basis, and even if heโ€™s a grouch, he still cares about the others even if their antics come off as annoying to him.
  • Eeyore is very glum and doesn't really look on the bright side all that much. Besides his perpetual pessimism, he also has a detachable tail that's sometimes prone to going missing.
  • Owl plays the role as the elder within the Hundred-Acre Wood group and he fancies himself as someone with quite a bit of knowledge on whatever is happening to the group. While the Pooh and his friends look up to him as a beacon of knowledge, it's clear that he's not as smart as he claims to be, with some of his words resulting in the rest of the group getting into what amounts to a wild goose chase.
  • Kanga and little Roo are a mother and son duo who are usually seen together, though Roo has been known to go on a few adventures of his own. Kanga has a motherly role not just to Roo, but to the other Hundred-Acre Wood folks. Roo is an energetic child that hangs out with Tigger quite a bit and looks up to him.

Kafuru, Goddess of Water-Based Toy Weaponry

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/kafuru_ev.png
  • Lesser Goddess
  • Symbol: Luka, her dolphin
  • Theme Music: Are You an Idiot?
  • Alignment: Neutral Good
  • Portfolio: Dual-Using Water Guns, Summoning A Dolphin to Battle, Water User, Projectiles What Turn on a Dime, Girlish Pigtails, Constantly Insulting Everyone Who Are Below Her, Jerkass, Perfectly Mature Woman, The Smart Gal, Shinobi
  • Domains: Water, Dolphins, Shinobi
  • Allies: Ryouki, Ecco the Dolphin, Yuna, Angelia Avallone (Vitriolic Best Buds)
  • Enemies:
  • Commonality Connection With: Akatsuki
  • Kafuru is the youngest child of the current Mikagura Sisters, and the smartest of the three sisters. While her pair of dolphin-shaped water guns might look pitiful, she is able to fire multiple water jets out of them in rapid succession, which can change direction to hit where Kafuru is aiming at. She also carries around a super soaker, but that is for special occasions. And that's not taking account the events of Peach Beach Splash tournament, where all of the contestants were made to fight with water-based weaponry.
  • While she is a skilful shinobi, her skills are nothing compared to how sharp her tongue is. She is incredibly condescending forwards anyone who she sees being inferior to her mentally, and loves to argue with anyone she can get a grip on, deliberately talking down on them to rile them up.
  • Because she finds herself being really intellectually mature, she hates being called a child and treated as such. Which in results actually makes her seem even less mature as she seems like due of how persistent she can be denying that.
  • Due of he Guardian Animal being a dolphin (named Luka), she has a bond with Ecco. Though note that Luka isn't really a nice and playful dolphin, at least by looking at him from the outside.
  • After hearing about rumours that there is someone who might sound like her, her investigation eventually lead her meeting Mugen Yogoruma. At first Kafuru tried to place her dominance over her in her usual fashion... until Mugen started to throw dirt at her hard, speaking in really complicated manner and with concepts what Kafuru had hard time wrapping her head around. Eventually Kafuru actually started to cry, saying that she will become obsolete at this rate. However, Mugen actually tried to comfort her, saying that her mind isn't half bad for a human, just not good as someone in equal terms with an Outer God. All she needs to do is not get other people's trash talk get to her and she might be set for anything. Kafuru took the compliment well.
  • Her relation with her and Angelia is an odd one. Both of them spend a lot of time mocking each other. However, they find the fact that they are rather equal in that terms quite interesting, and it has generally turned into playful banter than anything serious.
  • Besides their shared sense of weaponry, the Inklings have banned her from taking place in Turf War due of the fear that her actual water guns would end up being overpowered and non-beneficial to her teammates.
  • She, begrudgingly, has some sort of connection with Akatsuki due of both of them being treated as kids even though both of them insist of being treated mature women. Begrudging as it means she has to admit the problem.
  • One time The Sole Survivor came up to her and said they want to upgrade her water guns. She didn't really understand how they would upgrade them, but she went with it. When she got them back, she didn't understand why they are upgraded to fire soda at people... until she tested them out and found out that the projectiles are explosive. She got mad at the Sole Survivor for providing something this dangerous without informing her and told them to return the guns back to normal.
  • Is MLG as heck.
  • There. Case closed.

Here is a rough draft for the next profile I'm working on. Ser Barristan ascends tomorrow so for now, it's the Blues Brothers. There are a few flavour texts that will be added later but what I'm looking for is what additional allies and enemies could be added to this.

@Acre Wood You think Pooh would be sympathetic to Barry B. Benson's attempt to save honey? There was also that commercial where he attacked Pooh...

@Bazz Nostalic Critic play their NES game once. And also reviewed the sequel. I don't know how to make an interaction out of that but i hope it involves slaptick somehow.

I think Michael Jackson got his start on R&B too tho i would have to check. I guess he would be sympathetic to their cause too.
