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.

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 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. James' run in with the dantean monstrosity Type-β "The World" has also made him suspicious of whether Elsa had any hand in its creation because of its ice powers. They eventually cleared things up with the Arrendellian queen, but cryokinetics are still people they watch out for, especially for James.
    • 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 (though some victims do reanimate later). 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 to deal with.
    • While the specifics regarding the AMS is not known, what is known that it's American-based and is probably outside of other US Government organizations and/or jurisdiction. Still, they're on amicable terms with government agents in the Pantheon such as Shuichi Akai, Tooru Amuro and Rena Mizunashi (FBI, NPA (Japanese National Police Agency) and CIA agents respectively), and will assist them in cases against the Black Organization.
    • 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 they've fought, the agents were inherently mistrustful of Tarot cards and such motifs, and are uneasy around Nimue Inwudu and Sartorius as a result. And the Persona casts, who all bear various arcanas. Notably, as of the events of Scarlet Dawn, the Devil is the only tarot card that hasn't been used as the name of any boss they or their heralds have encountered.
      • 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. They still distrust the Duelist, though, given his tenure under the Light of Ruin.
    • 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 been 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:
    • All that's known of Rogan is that he was born on February 9, 1966, eventually joined AMS, and became recognized as its top agent. Although known for being a "hothead", he was distinguished for his courage and keen decision-making. He participated in what would come to be known as the 1998 Curien Case, because his then-girlfriend Sophie was a researcher in the Curien Mansion. Together with G, he put a stop to Curien's schemes and put down his creation the Magician (or so they first thought). Between that case and his next appearance 21 years later in the third game, he had married Sophie (who managed to survive the Curien Mansion incident), and they had a daughter named Lisa, although his relation with her was strained due to focusing too much on work.
      • Eventually, after the collapse of AMS, he determined the source of the apocalypse posthumously organized by Goldman to the EFI Research Facility, and with a secret division of military commandos that he had formed, he staged a raid on the facility. All of his men died, and he almost did too were it not for Dr. Curien's son Daniel. He would be reunited with his daughter and G two weeks later, and while Lisa and Daniel dealt with the Wheel of Fate, G stayed with Rogan to tend to his injuries. At the end of the whole conflict, as the four of them left the facility, when G asked whether this mission would change anything, Rogan — while unsure — optimistically claimed that they had "done [their] part", and that the future was left to people like Lisa and Daniel.
    • As for what Rogan does in the Pantheon, without an AMS to direct them, he leads his fellow members as its most senior agent.
    • As a workaholic who barely had time for his own daughter, Rogan's gotten to know others who've had similar dynamics with their kids. They may or may not have formed an Anonymous Support group.
      • First is Sonya Blade, who had a strained relationship with her daughter Cassie by devoting herself to her job as a Major General and treating Cassie as another soldier and rarely her own daughter. She's trying to move on from this since her husband Johnny Cage became too concerned of this attitude.
      • Second is Ryotaro Dojima, whose relation with Nanako was strained by his fears ever since his wife's death by a runaway car collision, and he frequently took to work to avoid her. Thankfully, Yu Narukami's arrival eventually got these issues fixed up.
      • Third is Bright Noa, whose status as an EFSF naval officer strained his relationship and unintentionally antagonized his son Hathaway, who later became an insurgent in the organization Mufti and got captured. Bright signed the execution order without knowing it was his son he was sending to the firing squad. When he found out, he was so shattered that he resigned his commission.
  • Exclusive to G:
    • Most of G's personal information is unknown, including his nationality, birthdate, and real name. Age-wise, he was approximately 35 to 40 years old in 1998[3] (making him around 50 in 2019, and at least his late 20s to early 30s when he was a rookie in 1991).
      • Speaking of 1991, after his graduation from the AMS academy, Special Agent G was assigned to investigate a missing persons case in Bayou City, Louisiana linked to crime lord Papa Caesar. That was where he met Detective Isaac Washington. They would work together in stopping Papa Caesar, as well as the real mastermind behind the outbreak Clement Darling.
      • His next (or first, rather) known case was with Rogan in the 1998 Curien Case, and then two years later he partook in the 2000 Goldman Case, but ended up grievously injured, forcing him to leave the rest to fellow agents James and Gary, who were supposed to meet up with him.
      • Three years later, he would eventually meet up with Kate Green, who had been James's partner before he sacrificed himself to destroy Type-β "The World", and they would take the fight to the source; a yet-again-resurrected Magician. They would stop him once more.
      • In 2019 in his world, he would partner with Rogan's daughter Lisa as they investigate his old partner's disappearance. Details of that incident can be found in Rogan's section.
    • 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 for… 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:
    • Prior to the 2000 Goldman Case, all that's known of James is that he was born around 1965, and that as an AMS special agent, he was known for having a calm composure and a "computer-like" mind.
      • During the 2000 Goldman Case, alongside rookie agent Gary, James was supposed to meet up with G, but due to G's sustained injuries during the battle, they had to take over for him, and worked alongside fellow agents Harry and Amy. After a match with the Magician, and destroying Type-α "The Emperor", they eventually stopped Goldman once and for all. Or so they thought...
      • Three years later, together with rookie agent Kate Green, while gathering intelligence at the agency's European branch office, an earthquake trapped them inside, and creatures began to run rampant once more. Fighting their way back to the Goldman building, after stopping one of his posthumous plans to nuke the world, they then had to confront Type-β "The World". When it eventually proved too tough for SMG bullets to penetrate, James decided to end it with a self-destruct sequence activated by his PDA, taking his own life in the process.
    • 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 berated for pulling a Stupid Sacrifice when the used his PDA-time bomb to destroy Type-β "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. They also wondered how the explosion was strong enough to destroy The World yet leave Kate unharmed while she was relatively close by.
    • As an advocate for not giving up hope, he's appalled by the fact that there are folks who explicitly desire to destroy it and sink people into despair. As such, Junko Enoshima is a prime enemy he won't hesitate to shoot on sight.
    • Was once asked if he has miraculous powers from beyond the grave to help his brother Ryan in the mortal realm given that in the battle against Thornheart's mutant The Moon, after Ryan picked up a rebar and jumped from a multiple-stories building to stab the monster without a second thought, lightning came soon after to finish the beast.
  • Exclusive to Gary:
    • All that's known of Gary is that he joined the AMS in 1999, and that despite his inexperience, he put full effort into his job; though his actions were sometimes reckless and concerned fellow agent James Taylor. His first case would be in 2000 alongside James. Nothing else about him since then is known.
    • 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.

@Muundeis [tup] for Victor Van Dort and Victoria Everglot as well as the Network.

I've got another nomination:

From Dragon Ball:

  • Gine, Goddess of Belated Backstories
    • Potential House: Narrative Structure (House of Narrative)
      • Pretty much nothing was known about Goku's mother (aside from the fact that she existed) prior to the publishing of Dragon Ball: Minus in 2014. Not only did it reveal who she was, but it also served as Goku's official canonical backstory, with the Broly movie bookending it by having Gine call out for Kakarot at the beginning and Goku then finally accepting his Saiyan name at the end.

Okay, I'll pause my profile-making for a few days but first, I would like to re-review my next profiles' titles.

  • Gaige, Goddess of Deadly Inaccuracy (adopted from Davekazer) Reasoning: One of Gaige's main skills is "Anarchy", which gets stronger with more Anarchy stacks and thus, her shooting becomes more aimless and technically deadly which makes her shooting very unpredictable.
  • Bulkhead, God of Visible Alternate Mode Parts (adopted from Kindle4Light) Reasoning: All Cybertronians have a form of kibble in some way (especially in the toylines) and Bulkhead is a good example in that he often utilise his kibble a lot, mostly as a chair.
  • Sora Shiun'in, God of "Adorable Kid" Facades Reasoning: It's one of his main gimmicks, either to get free food or maintain a cover for Academia. Alternatively, there's Welcome Back, Traitor for him since he's accepted back quite swiftly despite openly terrifying everyone with his true colours and allegiance to Academia.

[up][tup] for all three.

I also want to rework Knuckles with his current trope, Not Quite Flight. The reasoning is that Knuckles’s dreadlocks gives him the ability to trap air which allows him to glide. During the games he is playable (excluding party games), this is one of the ways you can utilize him (the other being climbing).

  • Domains: Dogs, Pictures, Comics, Memes, Faces, Monster Trucks and Fire Trucks
  • Allies: Isabelle (alleguedly Doge's second wife), Pyrocynical, Grandayy and Dolan Dark
  • Enemies:
  • Le Squad has arrived. Doge began as a simple image labelling meme in the early 2010s before the Dogelore was born. There Doge was turned into a family man frequently abused by his wife Karen and getting involved in very wacky adventures. Given his origins, he was later awarded with the Image Macro title, reacting with an appropriate "wow much pantheon, very ascension, so tropes".
    • Doge was also joined by his friend Walter. This one on the other hand is a lot more mysterious and his face rarely changes. Not many know what Walter does or thinks, only ever stating that he likes Fire Trucks and Monster Trucks.

I have an idea for Fighting a Shadow if it isn’t taken. I’m not trying to do Nehelenia anymore.

Chaos (Sailor Moon)

My reasoning being that every previous main antagonist were incarnations of Chaos, excluding Galaxia. They were mere embodiments of Chaos. There’s also the fact that Chaos can use the attacks of the previous main antagonists as well. Incarnations of Chaos were Queen Metalia, Death Phantom, Pharoah 90 and Nehelenia.

A few things about Char:

  • I'm surprised that there's nothing about Char and Vader other than the fact that they are allies, considering that Char is technically a Vader Clone (and the fact that one Char Clone is a really blatant Vader Clone, specifically Iron Mask Carozzo from F91, which makes sense due to the many Star Wars references in F91).

  • Nothing about Char and Star Trek characters. After all, Gundam is basically Japanese Star Trek.

  • 40k orks paint objects or beings red to make them go faster because all Orks share a psychic link allowing them to impose belief on reality. (DA RED ONEZ GO FASTA YA GITZ)

  • Eggman might oppose Char if Char decides to do another Colony Drop, due to the last story of Sonic Adventure 2, along with the fact that he can't build Eggmanland if there is no world to build it on. X and Zero probably would as well, both due to the Eurasia incident of Megaman X5 revolving around a space colony being dropped onto Earth, with the area affected being Area Zero from Megaman Zero 4.

@Sawkman

[tup] for moving Clockwork and Neyla

@Fasoman

For the two dogs, Chad Warden, SiIvaGunner, and Ebony are pretty much "Meme" characters. Maybe an interaction with SMG4 and Glitchy Mario, who also go on strange, meme-filled adventures. Sans and Papyrus might be amused and annoyed respectively at them, as they also dealt with a mischievous Annoying Dog in their world.

I would like to make a suggestion for Nay-Theist (perhaps two): Sharon or Atriox. I am still deciding which to pick between the two.

Sharon is a born-again Christian, who has lost her faith to her religion before the second coming. After her husband's senseless death, she takes her daughter to await the Rapture. After her impatience takes over, she kills her daughter to give her entry to heaven and when it finally arrives, she decides to forsake herself into the darkness, as she has fed up with God and His cruelty.

Atriox came from a race of Brutes that were members of The Covenant, a massive theocratic government that was dictated by the Prophets who believed of the idea known as the Great Journey, a path of ascension to the divine. After being sent battlefield to battlefield watching as his own race was slowly slaughtered in the frontlines all for the sake of the "Great Journey", he slowly realized that the Covenant was a farce and rebelled, becoming a second major threat to not only the Covenant, but to Humanity as well.

Also, may I have the permission to retrieve and rework Kreia from the Mentalism Other history?

For some more Char insanity, Char is a pop culture figure in the same realm as Darth Vader and Spock. There's also a custom laptop made in his image, a Nintendo Game Cube, a Game Boy Advance SP, a motorbike helmet, a Nintendo 3DS, a credit card from GE Consumer Finance called the Char Custom (which receives three times as many bonus points per 1000 yen spent compared to their other Gundam-related credit cards.), and a red Toyota Auris (which Char himself did an advert for) from Zeonic Toyota (a branch of Toyota).

The main antagonist of Persona 5 also dresses up as him during one part of his boss fight. Considering who voices both of them (in Japanese and English), this was definitely intentional.

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

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

Continue the bloodline, Fujimaru!
