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.

Gonna try this again.

While working on reworking the MLP villains, I realized that Tirek has no ascension text. Here's my planned addition, because who the hell would voluntarily bring him to the Pantheon in the first place?

  • Prior to his incarceration to Tartarus (and his eventual first escape), Tirek was a prince in a faraway kingdom of centaurs and gargoyles. Already power-hungry and talented with magic, he had gained interest in Equestria after Sendak the Elder smuggled in a unicorn to try and drain the magic from.
    • Years later, while it's not known how/if he took over his homeland or overthrew his parents, he and Scorpan would invade Equestria with plans to Take Over the World afterwards. And he would've gotten away with it too, were it not for Scorpan learning friendship from Star Swirl the Bearded and turning against his brother.
    • He would stay in Tartarus for centuries to come until Cerberus left his post one day, after which he snuck out and restarted his reign of terror once more. He would eventually be defeated by the Rainbow Power of the Elements of Harmony and imprisoned again.
    • That was when Melkor decided to send an envoy to offer Tirek a second chance for conquest in a place called the Trope Pantheons. The centaur eagerly took the offer. Melkor would eventually come to regret this decision.
    • After a few drainings of the GUAE's magical adversaries, staying away from the attention of Equestria's other denizens in the meantime, once he decided he was powerful enough, he quickly turned on the GUAE, drained everybody he could, destroyed anybody he couldn't, and was already gunning for Melkor himself before the Dark Lord managed to escape.
    • By then, Tirek's existence in the Pantheon was now made public, and the Spirits of Harmony were quick to mobilize and acquire the Elements from the Treasury while every other Grand United Alliance (separately) waged war on him, keeping all their mages away. Eventually, right after barely enduring a nuke he failed to destroy before it detonated, amidst the fallout, he saw a sextet of little ponies in hazmat suits and he realized that his revenge was at hand.
    • He also realized his defeat was coming again and wasted no time trying to stop them. However, gigantic beam weapons from surviving GUAG Gundams in the area provided enough distraction for the Rainbow Power to drain Tirek once more and return the stolen magic to their owners.
    • After he was sent to the Court for trial, it was decided that the best way to keep him under tight security would be to ascend him for Mana Drain, his most potent power.

@227someguy there’s an actual group called the Elite Four in the pantheon so Mista probably isn’t a fan of that.

@kingvideogames it says "they was approved a spot in the pantheon", it should be "were". There’s also no space between hollow and aka zanpakuto. Maybe you could name a specific character to point out the shipping between them. Gwenpool would be exactly the kind of person to do that; she’s already reminded Spidey of that time he dated Gwen Stacy’s cousin and brought up her own ships with Deadpool. Doofenschmirtz and [1] also have a lot of Foe Yay with each other, though in their case they make it a bit more explicit by making their nemesis relationship an allegory for a romantic relationship.

Ascension text isn't necessary, I think, but it is often favored. More important is explaining their deal from their native series

My view is that an ascension text is necessary, but a whole plot shouldn't be necessary unless seems appropriate for them. Like making an ascension into the Pantheon a whole giant battle beforehand should probably only apply to deities who are a big deal.

Anyway, as I stated, I'm reworking the Ginyu Force, I believe this is a type 2 so here's the first draft.

Prototype mode

Ginyu: Men, introductions!


GINYU!!

  • Annoyed by: Son Goten and Trunks
  • The Ginyu Force is an elite team of mercenaries that serves Frieza, super-elite and super strong warriors who are mutant members of their respective species. Established approximately around the time that King Cold retired to let his son Frieza take the reins of the organization, they are among the only soldiers in the Planet Trade Organization that Frieza doesn't display any form of malice towards. Basically, if Zarbon and Dodoria are Frieza's Co-Dragons and chiefs of staff, Ginyu and his team are Frieza's Navy SEALs. That changed when Frieza requested that they intervene on Planet Namek to obtain the planet's Dragon Balls after Zarbon and Dodoria were killed by Vegeta. They should have just continued on their way to Planet Yardrat as planned, because said intervention killed the entire team as Vegeta and newcomer Goku outclassed them in every way, with only Captain Ginyu surviving in the body of a Namekian frog. And now, Lord Frieza has opted to get them ascended to the Pantheon, if only to bolster the limited forces he has in supply.
  • They were initially planned to ascend under the trope Ass Kicking Pose, before it was decided that Evil Is Hammy was more specifically tailor-made for them. The reason? They are among the most dramatic and hammy villains ever, posing, role-calling and everything. And unlike some others, they take it seriously despite looking like idiots. In fact, the first criteria in order to enter battle isn't strength, but choreography. It was a near unanimous decision on the part of the Court of the Gods, and Ginyu thanks them for their judgement. For now, they can serve their rightful lord and master once again.
  • Applies to all of them:
    • It's been a tough time since they've ascended and enlisted in the Grand United Alliance of Evil. Ever since they all died, everyone they know has exceeded them in power level and ability, which means they no longer occupy the same exclusivity they had when they were living. In fact, when they stepped into GUAE headquarters for the first time, they received a tsunami of laughter from the villains there, Frieza among them. The only saving grace is that Frieza has undergone enough Character Development to embrace the team once again with open arms. He has tasked Ginyu with getting the team up to snuff with the rest of the Force, saying thisnote 
    Frieza: Ginyu, you are no longer the creme de la creme in the Frieza Force, and especially in a place like this, you never will. I want you to at least bring your men up to Super Saiyan I level, or I'll regret having brought you back.
    • The Ginyu Force originally had eight members in their squad, however, three of them were cut due to not being powerful enough and having bad choreography when it came to practicing the Ginyu Force's signature pose. The three members that were cut would later form their own mercenary platoon under Frieza’s brother, Cooler. The Ginyu Force is still unimpressed with the three of them in terms of their choreography and timing and look down on their pose is amateurish and unrefined. As of today, the two groups are still at an impasse, with the exception of Salza (see below).
    • In other timelines where Vegeta was able to get stronger than Ginyu at 100% on Namek, Vegeta will at least entertain the notion of taking over the Ginyu Force or replacing them with his own unit.
      • In one version Vegeta would claim that the Ginyu Force was now disbanded and invite Captain Ginyu to the Vegeta Special Forces instead. Ginyu considered it, but rejected the invitation, thinking that Vegeta would have a better pose than him. Vegeta was pissed with Ginyu's response and told Ginyu that he was a pathetic fool for that decision.
      • Another take saw Ginyu overwork the whole crew and then attempt to fire them, only for Vegeta to step in, call him a terrible captain, and beat him down to take the seat from him. As soon as he was in charge, it became the Vegeta Force. Vegeta's initial impression of the Ginyu Force would be less than satisfactory, as he thought their fighting poses were pathetic. Recoome requested that Vegeta give his two cents on how they could improve their pose to please him… Vegeta declined to comment.
    • They (or, at the very least, Ginyu himself) respect Goku' son Gohan for his own knowledge of the "Super Sentai" Stance. While he is their enemy, Ginyu recognizes him as a Worthy Opponent, and would consider him a fine addition to the force otherwise as the Great Saiyaman. Trunks and Goten, Gohan's younger brother, think their poses are super cool and enjoy watching their antics, which they're grateful for. Ginyu believes that they lack style and substance but they have the right mind and attitude, but professionally he has to consider them enemies. Their fusion Gotenks, on the other hand, is too stiff in his own poses for their taste, yet he keeps insisting they're the lame ones.
    • The Ginyu Force's position in the Grand United Alliance of Evil is tenuous to say the least. While they may be weaker than before, they still remain among the strongest of Frieza's normal fighters, so as long as they remain useful to him, he'll keep them at the top of the pecking order. They occupy the rank of 'High-Level Executive Class' within the Frieza Force and the GUAE Conquest Force, meaning that they have even more power than Zarbon and Dodoria. Zarbon is often present with Ginyu at staff meetings, and the two generally get along. They don't converse much because the Ginyu Force performs missions away from Frieza's main fleet while Zarbon is at his boss' side at all times alongside non-ascendant Dodoria.
    • One of those missions was with the Galactic Empire's Seventh Fleet, when they were temporarily housed aboard the ISD Chimaera. Many complaints were made for their disruption of general procedure and dramatics, which reached the ears of Commodore Faro, Captain Pellaeon and eventually Thrawn himself, who was forced to eject them

  • The Ginyu Force get along well with the Monstars, who have challenged the Ginyu Force to a friendly game of basketball. The Ginyu Force are the favourites to win because Guldo's psychic powers and Burter's super speed lend themselves well to basketball.
  • Exclusive to Ginyu:
    • The leader of the Ginyu Force (it's named after him),

    • Ginyu has made it a personal mission to max out his power level, not just because he wants to prove his continued worth to Lord Frieza, but to one-up his rival Tagoma. Since Ginyu pulled a Grand Theft Me on Tagoma in Super and got killed for his trouble immediately after, Tagoma absolutely despises him and wants him Deader than Dead. This feeling is mutual ever since Ginyu found out that Tagoma's power level after training made him the strongest man in the Frieza Force, exceeding the entire Ginyu Force combined. Ginyu was soundly beaten when he picked a fight with Tagoma aboard Frieza's flagship, only to cause massive damage to the training room. Ginyu has since begun training in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber on The Lookout with the promise of good behaviour, and has become the first member of the Ginyu Force to raise his power level substantially. Currently, his power level is about 800,000, just below Frieza's second form. Since Frieza mostly uses his final form now, Ginyu is satisfied with what he has in comparison. He's forced his teammates to train in the Chamber as well, with mixed resultsnote .

    • When the Ginyu Force were re-united in Hell, Captain Ginyu made an order to his men to find and torture any dead being who resembled a frog, the rest of the Ginyu Force were confused as to why they were given the order and have asked Ginyu as to why they were given such a specific task… he refuses to answer the question to this day.
    • Whenever Captain Ginyu has been questioned by Recoome if the body he has is his original one, Ginyu's response has always been the same: if Recoome can beat him Rock-Paper-Scissors he'll tell him the truth, if Recoome loses, he has to buy space sodas for the whole force. The Ginyu Force have enjoyed free space soda on behalf of Recoome for many years now.
  • Exclusive to Jeice:
    • 2013 has left Jeice in a very bitter mood as his beloved Space Broncos failed to qualify for the finals of Space NRL season finals for the first time since 2010 and Space Australia were beaten by Space British and Irish Lions in the 2013 Space British and Irish Lions Tour to Space Australia.
  • Exclusive to Burter:
  • Exclusive to Recoome:
    • Having seen Recoome's performance against Vegeta, Vince McMahon has entered talks with Recoome into signing a ten year deal with The Universe. However, negotiations have hit a road block in light of Recoome’s supposedly outrageous wage demands. The deal is still pending.
  • Exclusive to Guldo:
    • On April Fools Day, Burter pranked Guldo by giving him a box of dog biscuits for lunch, un-amused and angry, Guldo used his special ability to summon a steamroller to crush Burter, but even after stopping time, Burter was quick enough to dodge the steamroller.
    • Though, the consequence of this was that he ended up pissing off Jotaro and Dio. Jotaro, because he really doesn't want to deal with a "Dio knock-off", as he so eloquently put it, and Dio, for for simply ripping off his attack.
  • Ginyu Force rules! Ginyu Force rules!! TOKUSENTAI!!!
  • "They're all INCREDIBLY FLAMBOYANT!"

I hope everyone had a good Christmas! Here is my post for the rework of Lan and MegaMan. Is there anything else I need to do? Lan Hikari and MegaMan.EXE, Gods of Synchronization (Lan: Netto Hikari, Solid Snake Jr.), (MegaMan.EXE: Mega, Hub/Saito/Site Hikari, RockMan.EXE)

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/rsz_mmbn_temp_237.jpg
Cross Fusion 
  • Returning To: Mentalities
  • [tup]s: 3 (227someguy, TheWikiaEditor, CrimsonShark)
  • Demigod (Lan), Lesser God (MegaMan.EXE) at default. Both of them can raise higher with certain factors (Intermediate for Lan via Cross Fusion and Greater or even Overdeity for MegaMan.EXE when he reaches his full potential).
  • Symbol: MegaMan.EXE's Chest Insignia
  • Theme Song: Electronic Brain Realm or the Main theme of Battle Network
  • Alignment: Chaotic Good (Lan), Neutral Good (MegaMan.EXE)
  • Portfolio: Foils, Synchronization, Polar Opposite Twins, Nice Guys, Cross Fusion, Only 0.1% Different (now perfect match), Boke and Tsukkomi Routine, Defeating Several Abominations, Unremembered Accomplishents
  • Domains: The Internet, Synchronization, Twins
  • Allies: Geo Stelar, Django, the original Mega Man, X, Zero, Axl, Dr. Thomas Light, Grey, Sonia Strumm, Tron, Lain Iwakura, Kevin Flynn, Beck, Subaru Nakajima, Shobu Kirifuda, Sojiro and Futaba Sakura, Kirito, Asuna, and all their friends
  • Rivals: Bass.EXE
  • Enemies: Dr. Wily, Dr. Weil, Arfoire, Love Machine, Master Control Program, Clu, Sark, The Meta, Nobuyuki Sugou, Medusa Gorgon
  • Conflicting Opinion: Colonel and Iris
  • Lan was the God of Internet Heroes (having saved the Internet and the world over 6 times, from stuff like super-powerful viruses (twice), a manifestation of junk data, the prototype of the Internet, an intergalactic NetNavi and his meteor, a manifestation of evil, and one of two beasts that are so powerful, and one of them was created to kill the other. Arfoire, naturally, is very unhappy about the pair.) though eventually gods realized that he had something much important, something allows him to be the hero he is; the mental connection between him and his NetNavi/brother MegaMan.EXE due the fact that the two can synchronize themselves to be almost perfect match with each other, even if it means Lan himself suffering the injuries from it.
  • While MegaMan.EXE is usually either inside Lan's PET or in the Internet, he can get into the real world with few methods: one is to do a Cross Fusion with Lan, which allows the Operator to fight in the real world, but only in specific areas. Another method is for him to use a CopyBot that allows him to materialize in the real world, with the House of Technology making it so that MegaMan.EXE can utilize his skills with that CopyBot.
    • Though no one is sure how he ended up in Feudal Japan one time and how he was able to be in the real world.
    • In regards to the first method, the House of Technology was eventually able to upgrade Lan's PET so that he can use Cross Fusion anywhere he likes without the need of a Dimensional Converter in the area, making it all but a Henshin Hero Transformation Trinket. They also provided a special Battle Chip Gate that Lan can hand over to his allies so they can supply him with Battle Chips (normally, he can only use five that he loads into his PET prior to Cross Fusion).
  • Lan and MegaMan.EXE's names are actually rather fitting if one knows computer terminology. Lan is named after the acronym for Local Area Network, EXE stands for Executable file, and Hub (MegaMan's name when he was human) is named after a networking device on the physical layer of the OSI model which receives packets on one port and sends it out through the other ports. The introduction of networking switches rendered a hub obsolete. The duo admits it is rather fitting, considering how they use the network.
  • They once visited the House of Friendship and had an encounter with Tron (before his move to the House of Technology). They were very surprised that he behaves similarly to MegaMan and how the Grid was somewhat similar to the Net.
    • However, the two do their best to stay away from CLU. On one hand, they hate him for removing the free will of all programs. On the other hand, they feel sorry for him because he wanted to create the perfect system his creator Kevin Flynn wished to accomplish in the past. Though maybe the same cannot be said about the Master Control Program and Sark.
    • Should Lan enter the Grid, he appears as a holographic image of himself with an outfit themed to the world (like with Sora, Donald, Goofy, and Riku). While he can can get injured in this state, he can fuse with MegaMan to make him stronger, or/and he can use his Battle Chip Gate to activate Battle Chips to defend himself or provide support to MegaMan (though some chips like Sword always default to his Navi). MegaMan himself remains unchanged, as he's already a computer program.
  • If there is a malfunctioning machine somewhere, the two of them are usually the guys to ask first to check things in case it has any viruses. Though they usually checks the machine on their own to find any Mystery Data.
  • Lan loves going to the House of Food to try some of the curry there. He says it's almost as good as his mom makes it. And so when he heard a deity representing said food ascended, he's since become a regular customer of Sojiro Sakura.
    • As a result of White Hats affairs, Lan and MegaMan also got acquainted with his daughter Futaba, who had also heard of the NetOp and NetNavi's accomplishments and is very interested in MegaMan. Sojiro won't have to worry about anything else going on between them as Lan already has a lover.
  • MegaMan seems to have a fear of ghosts. Apparently, the fact that they cannot be explained by science is the reason for this.
  • They have a good friendship with Kirito and Asuna, likely because they can enter in the cyberworld in an interesting way. They're also good friends with Sinon, due to the fact that she has a Choice of Two Weapons, thing that MegaMan.EXE also has, as he's good using the MegaBuster and Sword Chips.
    • They also dislike Nobuyuki Sugou as he not only tried to rape Asuna, but also tried to use the virtuRal world to manipulate people.
  • The duo are shown to get along with the Meisters and their weapon partners, especially Maka, Soul, Black☆Star, Tsubaki, and Kid. Not only can they fight together, but they can also syncronize their souls for a boost of power. They are also sympathetic towards Crona after hearing about Medusa's abuse of hir.
  • Ever since Wiz and Boomstick showcased the DEATH BATTLE! Royale between all the main Mega Men (EXE, Classic, X, Volnutt, and Star Force), they've garnered a lot of attention as a result since EXE proved to be the most powerful of all of them.
  • Jack-in, [MegaMan.EXE]! Execute!

Hey guys, regarding Jinbe from One Piece, would Fish People or Shark Man fit him mroe (I'm thinking the latter.)

I don't think either of them are taken; though where would be? House of Otherness?

Also, if Jinbe is for Shark Man, would someone like Abe from Hellboy fit Fish People?

r-lock256 (Spin-off Series)
#152416: Dec 26th 2019 at 12:07:40 PM

[up] Fish People is taken by The Gill-Man. As for Shark Man, the Street Sharks keep getting brought up for some reason whenever that trope is mentioned. King Shark might be another candidate for Shark Man depending on what others think.

Looking for feedback and suggestions for interactions for this first rough draft for Korgoth. He's a barbarian in a post-apocalyptic world that's mostly quiet and keeps to himself, but won't hesitate to violently attack anyone that wrongs him in some way. He doesn't really get involved with adventure unless pushed to do so. Also he doesn't like wizards and anyone that uses magic.

Korgoth, God of Failed Pilot Episodes

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/rsz_korgoth.png
  • Lesser God
  • Symbol: His axe
  • Alignment: True Neutral
  • Portfolio: Anti-Hero, Beware the Quiet Ones, Heroic Comedic Sociopath, The Stoic
  • Domains: Barbarians, Adventure
  • Allies: Conan the Barbarian, Red Sonja
  • Once there was a barbarian named Korgoth. He’s someone who keeps to himself unless pissed off, in which case he’ll dish out some extreme violence. After getting pulled into a quest by some hooligans, Korgoth gets infected with some parasites and has to retrieve some sort of valuable in order to get the cure. More violence an insanity followed, which included finding a girl and her suddenly dying in the midst of chaos. Afterwards, Korgoth got a souvenir (which happened to be the treasure he was going after) and later got a medicine in exchange which would treat his parasite problem very slowly. Afterwards...that was pretty much it; there wasn’t any other crazy adventure he went on due to external reasons (cost factors being commonly cited for such).
  • Across the more dangerous parts of the Pantheon, there were a group of adventurers that was looking for a powerful ally to help them retrieve an artifact for the House of Profession. They came across a tavern and found themselves in the aftermath of a bloody brawl with the only patron still standing being a barbarian who was just trying to have a drink. It took some effort in order to convince Korgoth to join the adventurers on their quest and after he relented, several bloody events occurred as a result of some of the adventurers’ stupidity, but Korgoth eventually found the artifact the group was looking for. Korgoth then found himself at Pantheon grounds and the adventurers convinced the higher-ups to let Korgoth stay in the Pantheon. He didn’t really object to being part of the Pantheon, but he didn’t really care all that much either way.
  • Korgoth used to live in an apocalyptic world that’s overrun with violence and preferred to keep to himself in order to survive. While the Pantheon is nowhere near as grim compared to what he’s gone through, violence is still a regular occurrence, especially with that Forever War going on in certain places. Since he’s essentially a mercenary for hire, he’ll only get caught up in any sort of conflict if pressured well enough, but he’ll very much go off and be by himself once all is said and done.

Reposting The Blades.

The Blades Of Chaos

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/0szrkoe.jpg
One of the Blades, fully upgraded.
  • Class 5
  • Description: A pair of chained short chopping swords
  • Alignment: Depends On Kratos' mood
  • Domains: Enchanted Weapons
  • Portfolio: Chained To Kratos' Arms To Be Used For Short And Long-Ranged Attacks, Became More Deadlier With Experience
  • Creator: Ares
  • Notable User/Owner: Kratos
  • Alternatives Include: Athena's Blades, The Blades of Exile
  • Gaia: The Blades of Chaos, forged in the foulest depths of Hades. Once attached the blades remained so, chained and seared to the flesh, a part of the bearer's body.
  • In Ares' scheme to overthrow Olympus, he gifted the Spartan demigod Kratos with the Blades of Chaos, a pair of chained blades crafted by the God of War himself, imbued with the power of fire. Had Ares lived, he would've been pleased to know that Kratos had succeeded.
  • Thought to have disappeared following Kratos' war against Ares, it was later revealed that Kratos took the Blades of Chaos with him following his decimation of both the Olympians and Titans and relocated to Midgard. Only when the life of his son, Atreus, was in danger and one of the key ingredients was located in Helheim, a place where the Leviathan Axe would be ineffective, Kratos retrieved the Blades of Chaos, and in effect, the Ghost of Sparta was reborn.
    • For those who have been following the Ghost of Sparta from his days as the servant of Ares to bringing about the destruction of Olympus, the irony is not lost on them. Kratos butchered his first family by means of the Blades, now he brings them back in order to save his son.
  • In one strange scenario, Spider-Man would come across the Blades. Cornered by Iron Man and his team of Mighty Avengers, Spidey armed himself with the Blades and proceeded to amputate both of Stark's arms. Then, he attacked the rest of Stark's Avengers, Ares included, leaving them with numerous injuries.
    Doctor Strange: I know those weapons Peter has...and I'm surprised.
    Luke Cage: Surprised he's winning?
    Doctor Strange: Surprised everyone's still alive.
  • The Blades are effective against anyone who is undead. Even more so if they use the cold as a weapon, as the Blades' elemental power is fire. So much so that they avoid pissing Kratos off (and by that extension, Atreus) even more, lest they find out the hard way. Both Bi-Han and Kuai Liang can attest that those Blades hurt like crap. The Night's King don't want to test his luck against Kratos and avoids a confrontation.
  • The more experience Kratos gets, the stronger the Blades become. Either that or he finds the materials needed for the Huldra brothers to work their magic on the blades. There is an ongoing debate that it is strong enough to withstand an onslaught from Dragonslayer. And both Soul Edge and Soul Calibur gets a tad bit antsy when the Blades are in the area...
    Athena: (as Kratos arms himself with the Blades) There's nowhere you can hide, Spartan. Put as much distance between you and the truth as you want, it changes nothing. Pretend to be everything you are not: teacher, husband, father. (Kratos glares at Athena before resuming) But there is one unavoidable truth you will never escape: You cannot change. You will always be... a monster.
    Kratos: I know. But I am your monster no longer.

[up] well, he is a whale shark fishman and one of the most prominent Fishman characters in One Piece, especially given the sweeting. His relevance has increased more in the series, plus he is a reliable and dependent ally.

Also, SPOILER!!

He has officially joined the Straw Hat Pirates. Ergo, him joining would have the complete crew here on the Pantheon.

  • Votes: 3(Crimson Shark, The Wikia Editor, 227someguy)
  • Date of tune-up: 27 December
  • Lesser God
  • Symbol: Bisharp's bladed "helmet"
  • Alignment: Lawful Evil on duty, True Neutral left alone
  • Gender: Male
  • Ability: Defiant
  • Moves: Swords Dance, Iron Head, Sucker Punch, Low Kick
    • Z-Move: Corkscrew Crash
  • Portfolio: Blades All Across The Body, Chess Motif, Asskicking Equals Authority, Humanoid Abomination, Steel-type, Dark-type, Mighty Glacier
  • Domains: Steel, Dark, Leadership, Blades, Chess
  • Heralds: A pack of Pawniard
  • Allies: Ghetsis (sort of), Ishida Mitsunari, Shadow Moon, The Shredder, Wreck-It Ralph, Anakin Skywalker/Darth Vader, Zed, SCP-999, Cut Man
  • Rivals: Aegislash, samurai in general like Hattori Hanzo, William Adams
  • Enemies: Martial Artists
  • Opposes/Opposed by: A good portion of Toku heroes
  • Avoids: Erik Lensherr/Magneto
  • Respects: Midna
  • Looking like a samurai of sort, Bisharp's natural anatomy features an axe blade on its forehead, retractable wrist blades, razor-sharp fingers, "rib cage blades" and "hooves" made out of couple of blades. Bisharp can stab and slash more ways than one would bother to count.
  • Bisharp hardly ever fights alone, instead preferring to use a pack of Pawniard to weaken the opponent before finishing them off. Bisharp also determent dominance by fighting anyone who would oppose their rule of the pack. The Pokemon is modeled partly off chess, with Bisharp being a bishop. The House of Gaming has paid it to serve as part of their Human Chess games. The Pokemon is poor at playing actual chess, due to lacking human-like fingers.
  • Due of the general behavior of him, Bisharp is said to be so far one of the only truly evil Pokémon. As while his image resembles that of a Toku hero (especially a Kamen Rider), the general biology makes him be more like a kaijin and the comparisons to Gallade makes him look like a Psycho Ranger. That is why Bisharp has a general dislike forwards Toku heroes, and the opinion is mutual.
    • On the flipside, he seems to be getting along with the members of Demonic Legion. Though that being said, he is being rather selective regarding whom he really considers being allies.
  • Chose to partner with Baraka, as the two have blades within their own anatomy and despite his more sinister reputation Bisharp encourages a nicer side out of Baraka. He seems to get along with The Shredder as well, since like Bisharp he's a samurai with rather sharp weaponry. Zed, another dark samurai seems to get along with Bisharp. Probably mutual associating with literal darkness.
  • It should be noted that Bisharp would be good if he was under the right owner, like Grimsley. However, considering that he is used by such villains like Ghetsis, Shadow Triad, Bryony and Fraud (and to lesser extend, Mitsunari), it is hard to decline the general evil background Bisharp have. There are still some gods who wonder why Bisharp is even labelled as evil in the first place. Some speculate that due of its overall bad reputation, it simply accepted its role as an evil Pokémon.
  • One of few deities who can reliably go toe-to-toe against Aegislash as Defiant prevents any stat drops from King's Shield. Bisharp tends to compete with a number of heroic ninjas, who despite his dark reputation he usually respects. While he has a number of enemies, there's Nothing Personal and it more comes down to that dark reputation than genuine contempt or maliciousness.
  • Sometimes hangs out with Ralph or Cut Man. They can understand what it's like to be put in the role of villain, and like almost all "evil" Pokemon Bisharp is a Punch-Clock Villain who follows bad humans. Cut Man flip-flops due to reprogramming, and they like to test out each other's sharp weaponry. Bisharp has come to be fond of Darth Vader, a Noble Demon dealing with the Dark Side who shares a samurai aesthetic.
  • Doesn't have any beef against Magneto, however he'd rather stay away from him because he saw what he did to Wolverine and doesn't want any of that to potentially happen. He is more willing to throw down with Wolverine and X-23, and has become frustrated at how adamantium manages to cut through his own metal blades.
  • Really doesn't like martial artists, and it's down to his typing: he's vulnerable to Fire and Ground moves, but takes four times normal damage from Fighting moves. That said few in the House of Combat actually want to punch him(at least not without serious protection) because his body is really sharp. While they don't have anything against him, Baymax and Bounce Man's inflatable design mean they stay away from him.
  • Given his sharp body, Bisharp can't exactly be hugged. SCP-999, wanting to cheer Bisharp up and not being bothered due to his Blob Monster anatomy, decided to hug and tickle Bisharp, something he really appreciated. Bisharp, while being a sinister Dark type, at least seems to respect Midna for proving Dark Is Not Evil even if he doesn't really fit it.

Okay, so...

I couldn't help but notice the Trope, Hazy-Feel Turn had been taken by RJ Clovis for Argit. However, I would like to suggest an alternative trope for Argit. That one being Prickly Porcupine. The reason being? Argit is basically a humanoid porcupine and his backstabbing personality lends itself to the trope perfectly.

As for Hazy-Feel Turn, I would like to propose Dr. Aphra. The reason for it? Doctor Aphra, despite no longer working with Darth Vader and is typically on the run from the Empire, has not joined the rebellion and is still as backstabbing and morally ambiguous as she was working under Vader.

We'll find out how it worked out next page.
