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.

  • Complicated Relationship: Haman Karn, Melkor (his boss) and his Four Horseman (especially Johan Liebert), Banagher Links, Athrun Zala, Charlotte Dunois,
  • Perhaps the most beloved character in the Gundam franchise, Char Aznable has always been the subject of political intrigue, fan intrigue and now Pantheon intrigue. When word spread that the GUAG was building up a mecha fighting force out of the deities they had on hand (which would become the GUAG Robot War Division), Melkor saw fit to create one of his own. But the God of Evil needed a charismatic deity to lead the charge, so he looked no further than the uber-Char Clone, Red Comet Char Aznable!
  • Born Casval Rem Deikun, he was at the centre of a political bloodbath when his father, politician Zeon Zum Deikun died suddenly and his chief of staff, Degwin Zabi took control. As the Zabis began purging potential resistance to their rule, Char and his sister fled to Earth while their mother was permanently confined. They took up residence with Don Teabolo Mass in Spain who raised Casval and Artesia as his own children under the names Édouard and Sayla. Alas, it was not to last. A party sent to kill them permanently crippled Teabolo, necessitating a relocation to Texas Colony in Side 5 (Loum). A vengeful Casval then set himself two priorities: to destroy the Zabi family and to uphold what his father had advocated for in his political philosophy: have humanity leave Earth as it was sacred, and to prove his theory that Spacenoids would eventually evolve into a greater species (the basis of the Newtype theory). To this end, he participated in many major events throughout the course of the Universal Century.
    • After faking his death by getting rid of the real Char Aznable and enlisting in the Zeon military in his place, he would make a name for himself by destroying five Magellan-class battleships in the Battle of Loum, the first full armed engagement in the One Year War, and earning the nickname 'Red Comet' by redlining his MS-06C Zaku II. He would later be tasked with finding and destroying Project V, a secret Federation mobile suit project. And we all know how that turned out...
    • When the mission failed, Char was tasked with pursuing the unit and its carrier ship, the White Base, having several run-ins with his sister who had joined the Federation and urging her to desert. In the process, Char would also exploit many opportunities to eliminate the Zabis one by one, starting with his friend Garma Zabi. His professional rivalry with the Gundam's pilot Amuro Ray would become very personal after the death of his Love Interest Lalah Sun when she protected Char from a killing blow. In the final battle, his Zeong would critically damage the Gundam and lead into a swordfight, where he received his forehead scar.
    • After Char finished Kycilia, the last surviving Zabi, he retreated to the Axis asteroid base. The Axis Zeon remnants supported him as leader, but he would refuse in favour of Haman Karn, who would become regent for Zeon heiress Mineva Lao Zabi and later full leader of Axis after her father Maharaja's death. After yet another series of unfortunate events and learning of Haman's true intentionsnote , Char departed Axis and joined the Anti Earth Union Group under the alias 'Quattro Bajeena'. Haman would see this as betrayal and engage Char's Hyaku Shiki with her Qubeley at the end of the Gryps conflict, seemingly killing him. Of course, the Red Comet wasn't done just yet.
    • Once more, Char resurfaced in U.C. 0093 as the leader of a new Neo Zeon remnant, planning to drop the Axis asteroid base onto Earth and force its populace to migrate to space and evolve into Newtypes. With his new Sazabi, he faced off against Amuro one final time before both disappeared. In truth, both had died experiencing a Psycho-Frame overload. While Amuro accepted death, Char did not and his spirit split in half, with the remaining fragment being used to create the Cyber-Newtype Full Frontal, which appeared three years later as leader of Neo Zeon remnant force "The Sleeves". This programmed successor would also fail and finally be convinced by the ghosts of his past to pass on. But of course, fate would not be done with Char Aznable. And this time, it probably never will be.
  • He was ascended under a different trope in a different house, but has since been moved to the House of Colours with previous records wiped from the books. He's a bit embarrassed to be living next to a doll/human and a pony, but having endured a lot of trauma throughout his life, admits the bonkers atmosphere is a nice change. Regardless of their respective alignments, he is quite polite to them. He rarely spends time in his own temple anyway given his position as the leader of the GUAE Mecha Cohort.
  • His heralds are a bit of a mixed bag, since his sister is Sayla Mass, also one of Amuro's heralds. Sayla still loves her brother but can't accept that he's returned to his vengeful ways, so she's chosen to stay with Amuro in his temple. Nanai Miguel still serves as Char's personal aide-de-camp. Nanai is in love with Char, but whatever romantic relationship they had in their home world was for show, and it hasn't evolved into anything more in the Pantheon. Then there's the most complicated case: Lalah Sun. Possibly Char's One True Love, she was refused the title of Attack Drone as the Court feared her presence would add fire to the already toxic rivalry between Char and Amuro. Char was not deterred and had her resurrected and smuggled into the Pantheon via back channels, paying Chief Justice Johnson for his silence. Since then, Lalah's presence has been kept secret even after Johnson was replaced as Chief Justice by the Judge (who was reasonable enough to let her stay).
  • Char has had a lot of trouble with finding a high priest. A LOT. His first pick was Full Frontal, but their differing viewpoints would cause friction between the two. One alternate continuity finally broke the ice between them, and not in a good way; the Char of the said AU wanted to use the asteroid Axis as a focus point of sorts to face a looming threat, while Frontal wanted to proceed with Char's original plan of causing global winter. Char forced Frontal to abdicate his High Priest status until further notice, which became permanent when he replaced him with Zechs Merquise. Speaking of Zechs, Char actually had made him his second high priest out of pity for their similar backgrounds. Zechs once went into a DEATH BATTLE! against Tommy Oliver, which Zechs won due to having more experience, and prompted Char to ascend him proper.
    • For a period, Char's candidates for high priest began ascending to the Pantheon proper without even getting to serve, including Graham Aker and Tatsuya Yuuki. Eventually Char decided to source one from a world less paid attention to: the world of Mobile Suit Gundam AGE. Now, Vagan commander Zeheart Galette serves as his high priest and one of his junior officers in the Mecha Cohort, commanding its Vagan forces. Char also elected him out of pity for his faith in Project Eden denying him the chance at a normal life and rendering all the sacrifices he had made moot. As a favour to him, he has made Fram Nara, his Love Interest, Marida Cruz's high priestess, if only to soothe Zeheart's inner pain.
  • Melkor was among the first to welcome him to the Pantheon, but knew not to recruit him immediately since Char would definitely smoke him out as bad news. Instead, Melkor had his Number Two Johan Liebert tour him around the Pantheon, particularly the worst areas of the House of War to convince him to join the GUAE for the sake of ending the Forever War. That didn't convince Char at all. What did though was the promise of seeing the greater Gundam metaverse and spreading his father's ideology in universes where hope still existed for them. Where the Grand United Alliance of Good sought to curb over-interference into the standard timeline of the fictional universes, the GUAE sought to oppose them at every turn, which is technically true. Char would accept the offer and formally establish the Mecha Cohort with legions of Neo Zeon soldiers at his command. To this day, Char still isn't convinced that he made the right choice.
    • There exists plenty of instances when his conviction has been shaken, like during Perfectio's time in the Pantheon. He's seen the horrors Perfectio has wrought and thinks that its atrocities go too far even for his liking. Things got so bad that the GUAE Mastermind began thinking Char was losing his wits since Melkor had no plans to induct Perfectio into the GUAE. When Melkor learnt that Char had contacted Magneto about joining the GUAG, he moved quickly to prevent Char's departure. Next thing people knew, Perfectio was out of the Pantheon and Char remains the leader of the Cohort. History would repeat when Ex- ascended to bring eternal despair to the Pantheon. He lets Ex- work more or less separately from the Cohort so he will be isolated when the GUAG comes for him. Any deity who is or was once an ally with either of them is an automatic enemy for him full-stop, such as Harbinger.
  • He was a captain in his home world, though being the leader of a GUAE branch, he was promoted several ranks to admiral and later fleet admiral as the Cohort grew in numbers. A victorious battle during the Great Upheaval against the Grand United Alliance of Chaos with a successful bipartisan campaign alongside the GUAE Conquest Force saw him promoted to Grand Admiral, the first ever in the GUAE since Thrawn. At the awards ceremony, Char was quick to shake hands with Emperor Palpatine, commander of the Conquest Force and establish an alliance with him for pragmatic reasons. While this has led to some triumphs in mending the rocky relationship between the Mecha Cohort and the Conquest Force, Palpatine doesn't really care about the Red Comet and his Newtype 'bantha fodder', since the Force is far superior to this.
  • The GUAE Mecha Cohort has among the worst factional divisions in the GUAE, and the worst of these is between Char and Gihren Zabi, one of the many men who he's sworn to kill. Char still leads the majority of the Mecha Cohort as the official leader, endorsed by the Four Horsemen, the GUAE Conquest Force (specifically Thrawn) and most of the other Alliances. He was eventually persuaded to officially make a stand against Gihren, effectively beginning a civil war between Char's "Red Zeon" or "True Zeon" faction and Gihren's "Black Zeon" or "Zeon Reich" faction. Gihren would then capture several replica mobile bases around the GUAE's extradimensional space, with A Baoa Qu as his headquarters, while Char would seize control of Axis and Solomon as his principal mobile bases.
    Char: To Gihren and his brood, your supremacist ideals have already ruined what Zeon has fought for: independence and peace. And now you continue to pursue your war-mongering ideology that perverts everything that my father stood for?
    To you I say, you are a shame to all Spacenoids! For using your homeland as a means to destroy humanity and reshape it to your liking and for using Deikun's Newtype theory to boost your own popularity, while not believing in its truth yourself! Today, I officially denounce your baseless ideals for death and destruction!
    We shall realize the vision of Zeon Zum Deikun and all visionaries who desired the same, and will bring the Gundam metaverse into a new age of tranquility, a utopia for all of humanity! Not just for Spacenoids, for all of humanity! For too long has our species witnessed the horrors of war, and I wish to end it against the wishes of the tyrant that is Gihren Zabi!
    I ask you once more to stand up for your fatherland, the Republic of Zeon! And not just the nation, but all that it stands for. If you are willing to fight once more, this Forever War will end all wars if we do something about it! We will not let Gihren do as he pleases! We will fight for the rights of our people! Will you join me?
    (cue thunderous applausenote , Char silences the crowd)
    • One of his most conflicted loyalists, Haman Karn leads the Axis Zeon fleet of the GUAE Mecha Cohort and boy, is she trouble. Their fraught relationship causes them to stay away from each other most of the time, especially because she resembles Artesia. Haman is particularly noxious on Char because of her previous attraction to him. Char sympathizes with her plight because he basically abandoned her as a 14-year old to rule Axis Zeon, a decision that began her Start of Darkness, but cannot forgive for using Mineva Lao Zabi as a figurehead ruler for the remnant. So long as Gihren remains stubborn in his campaign, they'll work together.
    • Another conflicted loyalist is Zeon pilot Anavel Gato and his herald Aiguille Delaz, who served under Haman Karn's division of the Mecha Cohort until Gihren ascended. However, Gihren's increasingly brutal warmongering and plans to attack a defenseless Regild Century for supplies soured relations. Gato and Delaz would lead a revolution against Gihren loyalists, gather all other dissidentsnote  and flee for Axis. While Gato is completely loyal to Char nowadays, his idea of Zeonism is very different from his superior's.
    • Gilbert Durandal shares Char's faith in Newtypes and that they should be separate from but co-exist with their Earthnoid counterparts, and has become one of Char's most faithful loyalists. Char does know that Durandal is a bit more forceful with this ideology since his view of Zeonism comes with his trademark Social Darwinism, undoubtedly due to Rau Le Creuset's influence. In fact, Durandal only joined the GUAE Mecha Cohort because Char convinced him that his Destiny Plan would not bear fruit if he worked alone.
    • Another faction would rise when Durandal's Earth Alliance counterparts, Muruta Azrael and Lord Djibril ascended. Char vilifies them for being leaders of an anti-Coordinator organization which supports War for Fun and Profit and using Biological CPUs and the Extended (the CE equivalent of Cyber-Newtypes) as weapons, treating them as property. He curses their jealousy towards Coordinators for causing the world of SEED to become such a Crapsack World. When he approached Azrael for an alliance, he just laughed maniacally and told Char to stick it. The only consolation Char has is that Azrael and Djibril despise all Newtypes and thus only work with Gihren's side for the convenience. The Blue Cosmos sub-faction is smaller than Gihren's but Char is of the opinion that they will prove to be a nuisance in the future.
    • Elzam, Rau, and Charlotte were considered for being high priests, but the three of them have ascended in their own right (special mention for Elzam since he had overridden Char's theme music on many occasions.) Among these three though, he has a soft spot for the young French deity, although many gods were not surprised about this: after all, he's said to like little girls. While Rau Le Creuset supports Gihren, Char is a bit more sympathetic to his Cloning Blues and has been trying to get Rau to see that humanity can overcome the depths to which Rau claims it has fallen by evolving into Newtypes (which he suspects that Rau has already become). Rau just smiles condescendingly and points out that Char has fought and killed Newtypes himself, thereby proving in his own eyes that they are still the same self destructive race no matter what. Whether a blessing or not, Rau's presence has given Gihren control over the ZAFT bases of Jachin Due and Carpentaria (a replica in the House of War) as well as the superweapon GENESIS, effectively putting Gihren in command of two Wave Motion Guns. Char sees taking these superweapons out as a top priority to prevent massive casualties when the invasion of the Gundam metaverse finally begins, but thanks to Durandal's patronage, holds the Messiah mobile fortress (including Neo-GENESIS) as a countermeasure against this. He's also tried swaying Patrick Zala, but eventually conceded that only his son might have any hope of helping him.
    • Ever since Melkor transferred the Decepticons to the GUAE Mecha Cohort, Char has had to share authority with Megatron who makes no secret of his contempt for him. More than once already has Char had to squash mini-drones deployed by Soundwave to spy on him. Obviously, Megatron resents having to lead alongside a human and insults Char as unworthy due to his emotional scruples, and that his mobile suit forces are weak and insignificant compared to his Decepticons. Starscream seeks Char's throne and has begun experimenting with sparks to implant into his Sazabi so he can control it remotely. Little does he know that Char and Megatron already know of this plot and have been countering him at every turn.
    • In preparation for the invasion of the Gundam metaverse, Char ordered Anaheim engineers to perfect his Sazabi for use against Overdeities. The subsequent 'Project: Scarlet Tears' produced its Beltorchika's Children variant, the MSN-04II Nightingale which he now uses. In response, Amuro has had his ν Gundam upgraded into the Hi-ν Gundam.
  • It should be noted that Char is above all, a sociopath. Char's entire life has been devoted to avenging his father and championing his ideology, so everything else is either a pawn or distraction to him. His charisma lures many to his side, but if an opportunity presents itself, he will not hesitate to throw his own allies under the bus. Simply put, do not trust him. This is where his alliance with Grand Admiral Thrawn comes in. Char is more of an opportunist than a bonafide tactician while Thrawn has true strategic and tactical skills. Both sets of strengths perfectly complement each other, which is why both officers are attempting to bridge the gap between the Conquest Force and the Mecha Cohort. Thrawn is quick to seek Char's opinion should something relevant come up, and the Red Comet's judgement is usually sound.
  • Char's competence has earned him the ire of most of the GUAE Conquest Force, and his anti-social attitude doesn't help matters. Most of the more petty villains see his GUAE Mecha Cohort as a cheap 'toy fair' that's more appropriate for the House of Craft than warfare.
    • Frieza and most of his inner circle (except Sorbet) view Char's ideology as a joke, since his totalitarian regime across Universe 7 kept things stable, while Char's attempt to unite Spacenoids did nothing to stop the endless state of war the Universal Century is in. Since his second resurrection, he's taken a more nuanced view and has gained the tiniest inch of respect for Char, hardly the same as his warrior's respect for Goku. This is highly one-sided, as Char can't stand the galactic conqueror for his cruelty and sadism. Zamasu of course just had to give his two cents on Char's ideology:
    Zamasu: Bah! Moving humans to space for their own good? Them evolving into a stronger race and better communicating with each other? Having dwelt in my universe and this domain for eons, I can tell you that is nothing but a petty ideal that will never come to pass. I foresee that your philosophy will devolve into nothingness and that humanity will devolve into the primitive animals they once were. Oh wait, they did. That is why they must be purged. Their innate corruption implores that my justice be called on to strike judgement upon them!
    • Darth Vader is among the only few GUAE members he genuinely enjoys spending time with, as the Dark Lord reminds him of Carozzo Ronah. Vader's problems with love, manipulation and troubles with politics, having undergone betrayal after betrayal (except Vader was on the receiving end), all these Char can relate to. Vader has kindly provided Char a squad of death troopers to train as mobile suit pilots as a trial run for the rest of his 501st Legion. Char's respect for Vader is strong enough for him to continue supporting his agenda after his Heel–Face Turn and leaving the GUAE, which might explain why Palpatine doesn't like Char. There's also the fact that Char himself is a Darth Vader Clone before Vader even existed.
  • Char, being so out of touch with emotions in general doesn't understand how his negative qualities have made him the most popular character in the Gundam franchise. Try as he might, he can't avoid the publicity that follows him around in the Pantheon. While he mostly accepted fame in-universe as it was part of his plan, his fame in the Pantheon borders on stalkerish. Every November 17th, rabid fans (including Sei Iori and Fumina Hoshino) gather in front of his temple wearing red robes and mieters with command antennae in hopes of getting an autograph and his blessing. Char makes it a point not to be in the vicinity for that whole day. As much as Char understands their disappointment, he's got more important matters to attend to. Well aware that he attracts young girls, and makes it clear that he does not intend for this to happen, as he only has eyes for Lalah.
    • Privately, the publicity amuses him enough to keep a secret stash of Char merchandise in a secret basement. He owns and uses 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 fornote ) from Zeonic Toyota (a branch of Toyota). Yuuki Terumi snapped a photo of him posing in the car and spread it online, provoking laughter from his deputies, even Haman. Char intends to get back at the GUAE Trollkaiger for this, but knows that Terumi's trolling is a show of Obfuscating Stupidity to bait him. Who knows, Terumi might have been hired by Gihren to annoy him to death.
    • He isn't as averse to Tatsuya Yuuki's presence, since he's the Gundam Build Fighters equivalent of a Char Clone. They frequently hold training sessions together in the simulators, with Yuuki piloting his PF-78-3A Gundam Amazing Red Warrior. Char is very impressed with the Meijin's sheer determination and passion for Gunplanote  and has encouraged him to join the GUAG as a professional pilot so he can have a Worthy Opponent again that he doesn't despise personally. As much as Yuuki would love to, he prefers spreading his love for Gunpla to others and becoming a mecha pilot connected with its horrors would probably turn him off.
    • Char was also warned beforehand when registering his particulars in the Pantheon's identification network of his voice actor's acting pedigree, and not to go paranoid if he heard his voice elsewhere in the Pantheon. Most of them (except Durandal) have either a close relationship or no relationship at all. Shuichi Akai is an FBI agent and thus has no business being near MS operations. Deities voiced by Tōru Furuya like Yamcha and Tooru Amuronote  stay away from Char when possible since their voice could potentially trigger a hostile relationship with the man.
    • Admin staff also warned him of the numerous expies he spawned while walking him through the whole heralds and high priest deal. Not that Char cares for many of them, especially Relius Clover for his cruelty. While he himself suffers from Lack of Empathy, that doesn't translate into villainy for the heck of it or cruel experiments.
  • Insists that painting an object red doesn't actually make it go faster, despite his own existence disproving that. It's skill that allowed him to handle the excess G-forces. He warns pilots wanting to emulate him of the risk redlining their suits entail, and discourages them for recklessly endangering their lives to become an Ace Pilot. He's only made an exception for the Warhammer 40k Orks who paint objects or beings red to make them go faster because all Orks share a psychic link allowing them to impose belief on reality.
    Char: (in a video diary) Look at Breniss Ox. He didn't become the top-scoring ace of the One Year War by painting his suit in gaudy colours. He based his kill count on skill alone. That's why he got the moniker 'One-Shot Killer', from his sniping skills. Pilots needlessly throwing away their lives to mimic people like me, such a waste...
  • It didn't take long for Char and Amuro to come across each other in the Pantheon. What did take a long time was the ensuing fistfight the two had when they bumped into each other outside the House of Combat, of all places. It took a while before their respective heralds managed to restrain the two. Amuro has sworn to end Char's agenda once and for all and if possible force him out of the Pantheon. Both have made peace with each other since their initial altercation but regrettably find themselves on the opposite sides of a war yet again. Amuro has had it with Char's manipulation ruining people's lives, especially Lalah and Quess Paraya. On a good day, they can converse cordially should they come across each other off-duty, but they'd rather not. Char once questioned Amuro on why he continues to fight despite knowing of the Federation's inevitable collapse and lack of a proper goal, especially since he's slightly stronger than Char. Amuro's answer was simple:
    Amuro: As long as you fight, I will. This Forever War won't end unless people like you and me do something about it.
  • He has very complicated relations with every Universal Century Gundam pilot, having made a mark on their lives in some way or another. This even borders on rivalry territory, though not nearly as heated as his with Amuro. Some of this dynamic has spread to plenty of others in the GUAG.
    • Char tried to be a mentor to Kamille Bidan but failed miserably. Kamille did actually view him as a brother figure despite not taking any of his advice, and their relationship has been strained ever since learning of his role in the Second Neo Zeon War.
    • Banagher Links is also divided on him. Despite not meeting him in person, he's seen enough of Full Frontal to realize that Char was bad news from the start, if at least only slightly more benevolent. He's grateful that Char didn't apply his vendetta against the Zabis to his Protectorate and Bodyguard Crush Mineva Lao Zabi, and Char is proud of seeing his Unicorn Gundam as a light of hope for the future of the Universal Century which never came. In passing, Char has remarked on Banagher's similarities to Amuro and hopes to see him in battle someday.
    • Pities many of the Evangelion pilots and in fact the world of Neon Genesis Evangelion as a whole, considering its warlike state prompted an enigmatic organization to take matters into their own hands and regress humanity into a single organism for the sake of peace. Yui Ikari especially reminds Char of his own mother Astraia and blames her fate squarely on her husband for being unable to accept loss. Gendo merely scoffs: Char's own unwillingness to let go of his father's ideology and just have a normal life basically caused the twenty or thirty-so years of anarchy after the One Year War, not to mention the Axis Shock which he directly caused. What he didn't expect was for Char to acknowledge his own hypocrisy and turn it back at Gendo:
    Char: What's different between you and me is that I knew the magnitude of my actions and that it would save billions of people while killing the same number. You sacrificed humanity to see one person again.
    • He is infamous as one of the most capable leaders in the GUAE. Had it not been for Khan, Char Aznable might have been at the top of the Enterprise's list of enemies. James T. Kirk, one of the commanders of the GUAG interstellar fleet (among others) doesn't give a mite about Char's ideology, even if it has solid evidence, because in his view, no one should ever be sacrificed or forced to do something they don't want to 'for the greater good'. Char, for his part, despises those who commit evil for an unrealistic or petty reason. Light Yagami is certainly one of those, as is Petyr Baelish. One lost himself in the power of the Death Note and the other's end goal is chaos to gain power. There's a reason why Char hates the Grand United Alliance of Chaos with a passion.
  • Continues to preach his father's ideology in the Pantheon but is perfectly fine with people who don't see it his way. Not everyone is of the opinion that Earth should be abandoned. Char sees it the same way Jim Gordon does: if he only worked with people sincerely loyal to the Deikun's ideology, he'd have nobody. In line with how much he idolizes his father, he's funded the construction of Zeon Zum Deikun statues all over the Pantheon, which are in these locations:
    • In front of his temple (the largest one)
    • The House of Leadership, part of a line of famous fictional leaders (specifically next to a statue of Scolar Visari)
    • The Interdimensional Time Displacement Museum of the Multiverse (in fact, a museum wing is named after it)
    • The sub-house of Conquest and Conquerorsnote 
    • The sub-house of Acts of War, co-funded by Degwin Zabi after the original was torn down by Gihren
  • One time, he challenged Chifuyu Orimura to a one-on-one battle between their mecha. Surprisingly, it ended in a draw. When asked why she would continue to train and practice as she does she gave a small smile and this answer, "Until he's strong enough." As in her own verse, doubts of Chifuyu's combat potential have been effectively silenced with the knowledge that she fought against a high-tier IS on foot. And she would have won if she had a weapon that could withstand the fight. It is notable however, that this duel did NOT take place in space, due to the IS's life support limitations. Both parties are eager to try this again in a less restrictive environment once the necessary upgrades are made.
  • Information has surfaced that, at some point, likely after that whole mess with the Titans, he used his identity as Quattro to become an Admiral and join the fight against the Abyssal Fleet for a brief period of time. Char remembers none of this and has no intention of ever discussing the matter ever again.
  • Dr. Eggman is neutral on Char for the time being, but is prepared to oppose him if he decides to do another Colony Drop on his universe. One of his stories involved him building Eggmanland, and he can't build Eggmanland if there is no world to build it on. All the Mega Men, especially X and Zero despise him due to having experienced similar incidents before.
  • Has plenty of people to look up to in the Pantheon, including some thinkers who he swears have similar ideals as his father. Charles Xavier's mutant theses have him interested in meeting the man, especially since they both share Psychic Powers and a desire for peace amongst their people.
  • Char continues to stand by the words of his father, and will always believe in the future of Newtypes, no matter how much he changes otherwise. Many will always respect him for this, and more and more will flock to his side.

  • Gihren Zabi is among the most well-known warlords and villains in the Pantheon, having gotten notice of his ascension soon after his family orchestrated Operation British, the dropping of Side 2, Bunch 8 space colony "Island Iffish" onto Earth. The space colony was doused with G3 gas, killing all its inhabitants before it was set on a collision course with the Earth Federation Force HQ, Jaburo, hidden deep in the Amazon rainforest. However, retaliation by an Federation fleet commanded by Vice Admiral Tianem separated the colony into several pieces, of which the largest would crash smack dab into Sydney, destroying the entirety of Southern Australia. Other pieces would land on areas of southwestern Canada (which rained debris across the United States) and the Pacific Ocean (which caused tsunamis and earthquakes in densely populated East Asia). If anything, what Gihren did to end the One Year War quickly only stoked Federation anger at the Principality of Zeon and prolonged the war.
  • Decades of fighting against Char for control of Zeon remnants in the Pantheon and the GUAE Mecha Cohort had taken its toll, so Gihren decided to call for backup in the form of his family members. He made the case to the Court of the Gods that while he came up with the plan, his family members carried it out. For example, his brother Dozle oversaw the gassing pre-Colony Drop and his sister Kycilia eliminated all possible Moles who could rat out the secret. The Court accepted this plea but informed Gihren that it would come at a cost: relinquishing his second trope, A Nazi by Any Other Name, which Gihren got the second Degwin's insulting Hitler comparison backfired on him. Gihren accepted the ultimatum with gritted teeth and got his family ascended.
    • Gihren should have known that was an idiotic move on his part. Absolutely none of them refused to join him in his crusade against Char, considering he killed their father (and in Mineva's case, grandfather). He turned a war for independence into a war of bloody conquest, sacrificing any chance Zeon had for peace with the Earth Federation. One wonders why Gihren even thought his gambit would worknote .
  • Their family feud is so bad that the entire family doesn't even have proper allies as a whole, with its respective members pursuing their own separate alliances. Only Degwin has bothered to lament that the politics he engag

  • Exclusive to Degwin:
    • General consensus tends to connect Degwin's rise to power to Zeon Zum Deikun's death, but this has never been proven even in the Pantheon. What is true is that Degwin claimed Zeon had appointed him as his successor on his deathbed, since Degwin was his chief of staff and Number Two. Whatever the case, Degwin would come to power in Side 3 amid popular support and declare it a Principality with himself as its Sovereign and his children in high administrative positions.
    • Unlike his son Gihren, Degwin is not at all bloodthirsty and took every chance he had to end the war that he declared so Side 3 would gain independence from the oppressive Earth Federation. He was appalled when his children chose to prolong the war for their own purposes, especially Gihren. However, he could do little to nothing about it as Gihren slowly seized power away from him and isolated him from the public eye, championing Zeon's war effort as a holy crusade against all Earthnoids. Tragically, he would die in the process of peace negotiations with EFSF commander General Revil when Gihren fired the Solar Ray Cannon.
    • Since his ascension to the Pantheon, Degwin has taken steps to rein his children in and admonish Gihren for his 'wartime shenanigans'. Had Gihren not been in the Grand United Alliance of Evil, Degwin would have dragged him bodily to the House of Justice for lifetime imprisonment. His other children (except Garma) were subject to less severe tirades for their ineptitude in handling the war effort and setting Spacenoid independence back decades. After hearing that the Republic of Zeon was stripped of its autonomy and dissolved in U.C. 0100, he's gotten even madder.
    • Having spent most of his life in space, he suffers from osteoporosis and other health problems that render him having to lean on a cane most of the time. Not that this stops him from being somewhat of a Handicapped Badass, as his utter contempt for his ruthless children can clearly scare them, including Dozle, who mind you is much bigger than him! Even Gihren's usual arrogant stoic can be broken when Degwin takes a shot at him. Pensions on behalf of the Grand United Alliance of Good, who sympathize with his plight, have allowed him to regularly visit the House of Health and Diseases for treatment. Due to his still ailing health, he's more keen on spending time resting in his temple and visiting other leaders in the Pantheon rather than participate in the Alliance war effort. Clearly, his words say he has all but disowned his eldest son:
    Degwin: I was manipulated and manhandled in a war Gihren didn't want to end until it ended his way. What makes people think that I want to be thrown into another one that will last forever? Let my son do what he wants: I've wiped my hands clean of him. Let me die in peace here. (is told Death Is Cheap in the Pantheon) Then I'll retire in peace dammit! I've done my part, let the youngsters handle it.
    • Compared to the majority of his children, he's a pretty chill guy and tries to be a family man. No records show that he was in any way abusive or neglectful towards his children, so it's a bit of a mystery (aside from the chaotic politics) that most of them, especially Gihren, turned out to be borderline psychotic. The main reason that Garma, his youngest son, is his favourite out of the bunch is because unlike them, Garma is a gentle and sweet kid who just happened to be born into such a lineage. Degwin laments that he let his son become a soldier instead of a scholar, so he would have had a much better life. A key reason why Degwin left the public eye is because of his depression following Garma's death, which paved the way for Gihren's rise to power. Make no mistake, if you hurt Garma, he will never forgive you...

  • It's a running theory in

  • Exclusive to Gihren:
    • Degwin's eldest son, Gihren was a key factor in his father's rise to political power after Zeon Zum Deikun's death. When Degwin had become ruler of the Autonomous Republic of Zeon and turned it into a Principality, Gihren had become the top-ranking official in the government and supreme commander of Zeon's armed force, with his siblings in lower but nonetheless respectable positions. Adept at political manipulation, he took advantage of his father's ailing health and advanced age to isolate him from the public eye and render him a mere figurehead. By the time his younger brother Garma had died in the One Year War and Degwin retired from day to day duties, Gihren was the legal dictator of Zeon in all but name. To finish off, he used a Zeon superweapon, the Solar Ray Cannon to destroy a portion of the Earth Federation's fleet... with his father in its path. He hoped that this move would stall the peace negotiations his father had been planning and keep the war going, but his sister Kycilia would shoot him in the head for patricide and seize command of the remaining Zeon forces. In essence, this spelt the death of the Principality as it could no longer afford to fight the war without Gihren's overarching leadership, as well as Kycilia's death at the hands of Char Aznable.
    • Speaking of Char Aznable, he hates Char the most out of his family members. When he first joined the Grand United Alliance of Evil as an Admiral, he didn't know anything about the GUAE Mecha Cohort and when he was informed of its existence, he assumed that he was automatically its sole leader and that Char was merely an acting commander awaiting his ascension. After all, a single ace pilot with a fast mobile suit couldn't possibly be worthy of leading the forces of Zeon right? That was until he learnt that Char was actually Casval Rem Deikun, Zeon Zum Deikun's son who single-handedly ended the Zabi regime by killing Garma and Kycilia (the latter especially). Lack of Empathy aside, Gihren was furious that his attempts to eliminate Casval and his sister had failed and blamed his survival on his siblings for not being watchful enough. Rising tensions would spark a civil war between Gihren and Char, with Gihren rallying his OYW supporters and more violent MS pilots disgruntled with Char's leadership style as the legitimate heir to Zeon Zum Deikun's political ideology. While Char still commands the majority of the GUAE Mecha Cohort, some influential organizations have thrown their support behind Gihren's "Black Zeon" faction such as SHOCKER and HYDRA. Rau Le Creuset and his sub-faction of ZAFT pilots from the Grand United Alliance of Destruction have also pledged their support, though Rau has his own plans for Gihren...
    • Gihren's dream was to eventually seize full control of the Earth Sphere and reform it as a totalitarian regime where Spacenoids reign as its master race above Earthnoids, with him as its supreme leader. He was quick to form alliances with other like-minded deities.
    • Enjoys gardening.

    • Love him or hate him, people in the Pantheon know to take Gihren Zabi seriously. After Adolf Hitler was ousted from his throne in the Motivations for Evil sub-house, he was briefly in the running for his relinquished title before Johann Schmidt, leader of HYDRA out-manoeuvred him and gained popular support. Red Skull still claims he is more suitable for the post than Gihren because unlike him, he actually was a member of the Nazi Schutzstaffel. Gihren has accepted the loss with grace, seeing his rivalry with Char as far more important, and the Red Skull has placed his support behind Gihren as the legitimate heir to Zeon and leader of the GUAE Mecha Cohort.

    • People often confuse him with Mr Fantastic because of having the same voice.
    • Since his ascension, Gods have been hearing "SIEG ZEON" round and round inside his Temple, though his faction is now the splinter faction.
    • The Zeon based deities are confused on who to follow, the Zabi Gihren or Rem Deikun Char? There is currently a civil war involving that.
    • Gihren dislikes Bask Om for being an example of a ""Feddie"" officer who has too much freedom.
    • X and Zero hate his guts because of him reminding the time they had a colony drop, they make sure it doesn't happen again.
    • He is banned from the House of Family, specifically the Fathers subhouse for his crime of familial patricide.
    • Is not sure what to think of Banagher Links considering his relationship with his younger brother Dozle's daughter, but doesn't care about that and only thinks of him as a Federation Gundam pilot.
    • Gihren Zabi has similar traits to those of the organization called Shocker, which pissed off Kamen Riders 1 and 2, who have sworn to fight him.
    • He also found new allies in the name of Red Skull who reminds him of his former leader Adolf Hitler (which Gihren showed in delight) Red Skull decides to give him support of Hydra in order to counter Char's Neo-Zeon forces.
    • As noted above, Gihren is a master of oratory and thus is relied upon in the GUAE as one of their best public speakers. Though his foul reputation may precede him, Gihren can redirect others' anger towards him into fierce loyalty, which Big Brother can get behind. That part is exactly why the Two Minutes Hate exist. Gihren as such is very popular at state funerals held by the GUAEnote . His most well-received eulogy thus far has been at the funeral mourning Emperor Palpatine when Rey vanquished him for good on Exegol. This particular eulogy was regarded as a great improvement from the pithy-by-comparison speech by Sate Pestage and Mas Amedda. Even if it's for people he doesn't like, Gihren must admit: he enjoys making such speeches...
    Gihren: The Galactic Emperor who was due to return to his long-awaited throne in the galaxy and reform it for the better has been vanquished by the Jedi scum! His Final Order, which would have ended eons of war and strife, has been ended by the inane actions of the Jedi's Resistance allies! The leader of our valiant Conquest Force, which has triumphed the goals of its respective members and soldiers endlessly has been dealt a crippling blow, but I tell you: we shall not stand for this! Lord Vader has left us, Lord Tyrannus has left us, yet the rightful Emperor still stands tall in our godly abode! To all stormtroopers, officers and anyone else here loyal to the cause of the Empire, the GUAE, and the good of the omniverse alike, I ask you to stand now! And to the Emperor, we wish you luck in your future endeavours in the Pantheon!!
    Nova Trooper Commander Fete: Nova Troopers, atten-tion! Ready, aim, fire! (gunshot) Ready, aim, fire! (gunshot) Ready, aim, fire! (gunshot)
    Gihren: And now play the anthem of the honourable Empire! Salute! (band begins playing "Glory to the Empire")

"We must teach those slow-witted people of the Earth Federation a lesson they will always remember. Now is the time for mankind to stand up for the future! Sieg ZEON!"

[up]Actually, can you find a way to shorten the paragraphs in Char's profile. Because reading them is such a pain in the ass. Also, why wouldn't you ascend him as long as you finisb the Zabi family profile, I think he's ready to ascend as long as you shorten the paragraphs unless you give a really good explanation.

You should do the same with your future profiles because while we don’t like profiles that is really short and barebones, it shouldn’t also be really long like the Char rework profile you are making that people like me have no energy or motivation enough to read.

Bloody hell, that was the longest profile I've ever seen.

Now for a freshtakingly smaller profile.

Sasaki Kojirou, God of Simultaneous Blade Strikes (Assassin, Nameless Samurai, Regend, Saviour of France, Saber)

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/tumblr_nfgsl0ffrd1touc20o1_500.jpg
  • Theme Song: "Fictional Heroic Spirit", Tempest Knight
  • Lesser God
  • Symbol: His Nodachi or the Ryuudouji Temple
  • Alignment: Neutral Evil (At least, that's what his profile states about him. He's more in line of True Neutral.)
  • Portfolio: Anti-Villain, Blood Knight, Badass Normal, Face Death with Dignity, Having immense power at the cost of defense, Friendly Enemy, Master Swordsman, Spirited Competitor, Handsome Lech
  • Domain: Combat, Weapons
  • Allies: Karna, Jin Kisaragi, Hakuman, Aikuro Mikisugi
  • Enemies: Medea, Zouken Matou, Kagenaru Mono
  • Rivals: Sam Rodriguez, Kamui Tokinomiya, Afro Samurai
  • Worthy Opponents: Artoria Pendragon, Miyamoto Musashi, Samurai Jack, Goku, Ryu, Ken
  • Tsubame Gaeshi, a sword technique that has the ability to twist dimension so that Kojiro is able to strike from three direction at the same time. How was he able to achieved such a feat? By swinging his sword, a lot. A lot a lot. He swung it so much that reality just gave up and granted him the ability thanks to the Second Magic. At one point in the mortal realm, while Assassin practiced this technique, he refined it so much that at one point, he created a opening to a parallel universe that was so big, he got sucked right into it. Eventually, he ended up into the Trope Pantheons where after impressing some deties with Tsubame-Gaeshi, he was given the title of Simultaneous Blade Strikes.
  • It should be noted that Sasaki Kojiro isn't really his real name because in the world he comes from, the name itself is fictional and was created to act as a Worthy Opponent for Miyamoto Musashi. He is just a nameless samurai who's skill was the closes to what Sasaki Kojiro would be. Because of this, it's ok with others calling him just Assassin. Of course, this status has been debated after the real Sasaki Kojirou was found in Shimosa who happened to be a Saber and challenged Musashi to a Duel to the Death.
  • Asked the House of Craft to remodel his temple after the Ryuudouji Temple. Why the they didn't mind, they did ask why. Assassin response was that he has a affection for the place. In fact, he can sometimes be seen in the Pantheon riding a Deketora with the temple attached to it.
  • Seems to be very eager in battling one the dragon deities in the Pantheon thanks to his days during the Grand Order Holy Grail War in Orleans, France. When asked why, Assassin said this:
    • Because of this, he managed to found a group of Dragonslayers named the Dragon-Defeating Trio with Saint Martha and Saint George. While he did initially seek a duel with Tarasque, but relented upon learning from Martha about how it was able to withstand multiple of her punches, and that didn't even stop him from forming the group. It's unknown why Siegfried wasn't invited over there though. (Any other Dragonslayers?)
    • Link also was associated with the group due to being involved in slaying demonic dragons in various points of his own timeline.
  • Even though he is classified as Neutral Evil, he doesn't act the part. In fact, his alignment might be self-stated one.
    If you kill someone, no matter who you are, you are evil.
  • Being a swordsman who loves a challenge, he got to meet many people who share his challenge-seeking philosophy. While some became his rivals because of this, others became close friends with him, and even some saw him as a worthy sparring opponent. Case in point;
    • He became allies with Karna because they were summoned by evil masters (though in Karna's case, he was summoned by a more benevolent villain) and that they also had a climatic final battle.
    • While he had odd looks at Jin Kisaragi for his jackassery at first, he then learned about how he developed into a nice, but still mean character, which caught his interest. Ditto for Hakumen, who happened to be Jin's future self, which has made him interested for a proper duel against them.
    • Due to all of them being Challenge Seekers, he has earned 2 sparring opponents named Ryu and Ken, and while he did grew wary at first due to their violent sides, Ryu at least assured him, given that he managed to expel his evil side. Unfortunately, this also resulted in Sasaki targeting Kagenaru Mono, given that he was Evil Ryu given physical form.
    • He is currently preparing for a proper duel with Artoria Pendragon, given that he is no longer under the orders of Medea and is able to have access to his Saber Self, which once fought Musashi to a Duel to the Death.
  • Due to the... interesting way he was used as a summoning catalyst for Hassan of the Cursed Arm in the 5th Holy Grail War, he gets sore whenever someone mentions Zouken Matou.
  • He has been hearing about people or even creatures trying to copy the Tsubame Gaeshi. However, most of them seem to copy the "swallow tail" version of the technique.
  • His weapon of choice, the Washing Pole, is HUGE even by the standards of an average length of a Katana, having a length of at least 90 cm, only surpassed by Sephiroth's Masamune which is about 243 cm at best. That being said, it has also been found in the time-convoluted realms of Lordran, Drangleic, and Lothric. That said, he was a little less than amused to learned that most of them prefer to run straight forward with and attack with the tip rather than even bothering to use the Tsubame-Gaeshi, which is understandable given that said technique is hard to master.
  • "The war gods heard my prayers. You underestimated me."

@Siegfried: There's Ornstein and Smough, who might cause Kojirou to raise some standards since Ornstein is very keen on killing dragons. Also, James of Team Rocket shares both a voice and the same Japanese name (Kojirou) so you can pick up an interaction from there; probably a mix-up or something.

@SuperWIKI: [tup] for Char! And yeah, might wanna shorten those text. Like I did the same with Avenger, but I feel like his own text don't look too boring.

Also, I'm suprised that you didn't add anything with Dessler to either profile (both Char's and the Zabis') considering he is one of Juzo Okita's adversaries.

What else should I put for Pantheon? I kinda haven't work on him since internship.

Pantheon, God of Mighty Jumps (The Unbreakable Spear, The Artisan of War, Arteus, Mantheon, Panth, Sparta)

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/7b723253dd215833.jpg
  • Intermediate God
  • Symbol: Crest of Mount Targon, His helmet and shield
  • Theme Song: Pantheon Theme
  • Alignment: True Neutral
  • Portfolio: Revelling In Combat, Martial Pride, Sturdy Shield, Spear in hand, Grand Skyfall, Sparta-style Training, Embodied by the power of the Aspect of War, Secret Dream Of Being A Baker, Protector of Mortals against the Immortals
  • Domains: War, Leaps
  • Allies: Champions of Runeterra (especially Leona), Leonidas, Kain Highwind, Kratos, Kassandra and Alexios, Samurai Jack, Siegfried Schtauffen, Alicia Melchiott, Jorgen von Strangle
  • Rivals: Defenders of the Ancients (especially Mars/Ares and Sven), Diana
  • Enemies: YHVH, Lucifer, Divine Powers, Shekinah, Satan (Castlevania), Zanza, Shinnok, Kronika, Cetrion, Nightmare, Majora, Zamasu, Yuuki Terumi
  • Opposes: The gods (as in the divine gods), especially Zeus, Azir, Zelda
  • A great Rakkor warrior from the flanks of Mount Targon, he climbed to the top of the peak to gain the power of the Aspect of War, Pantheon. Returned as a vessel of the Aspect, he branded a divine spear and shield... until Pantheon was defeated by the Darkin Aatrox and left the powerless Arteus to die. Now mortal and without the blessing of Pantheon, Atreus embraced his mortality and fight to defeat the divine with the Aspect's weapons in hand.
  • Pantheon is known for his giant leaps, but one day, he disappeared. Nobody knew about what happened to him and assumed that he died a warrior's death. Except he returned... changed, but stronger than ever. As he landed, he created a mighty slide upon impact.
  • Once a mighty High Priest of Leonidas, Pantheon leaped into the Pantheon (heh) and made himself one of the gods after crashing on anyone underneath his Grand Skyfall. His grandeur leap is so high that not might Mario could reach such height.
    • His mighty jump is a skill that is recognized by Dragoons of the Final Fantasy universe. He is a respected ally to Kain, not to mention Pantheon learning the way of a 'Dragon Slayer'.
    • He actually had to train very hard to attain the throne. This was one of those days when he was still mastering his ultimate jump.
    • After a great leap to join a fight, a giant bull from the sky dropped with the power of rock. Pantheon is surprised that a giant cow is capable of jumping at such height, considering that the one big bull in his world is not much of a jumper.
  • Yes, he is aware that the realm that he is now residing is called the "Pantheon." It's imperative that when you want to refer to the verse of the Trope Pantheons, you should always use the word 'the', or else you would instead call forth the Unbreakable Spear and the Jumping God. Usually, he introduces you with a mighty jump and foot first.
  • In spite of his rigorous training and stalwart profession, he secretly dreams about becoming a baker. Yes, a baker.
    • He is often seen baking at the House of Food, which leaves a strange image of a spartan warrior who lives to fight diligently by an oven baking. He was still a big help though...
  • As time passed, Pantheon has made visits with Ares, who wants him to participate on some sort of 'war project'. At first, Atreus used to respect Ares as a war god and a Worthy Opponent, until he views him as no different to the other divine powers. With Ares choosing to fight for the Ancients under the moniker of Mars, Atreus decide to fight his former patron god to show that his divine power means nothing compare to human resolution.
    • Atreus respects Kratos's strength and refusal to die at the hands of the Greek gods, even when death comes to his soul multiple times, even when his vendetta can go a little too far. He is interested that Kratos named his son, Atreus, like his own name.
  • Has a particular rivalry going with Sven, being that both are amongst the manliest amongst their original realms. Well, the rivalry might be a little friendly, seeing that Pantheon also occasionally goes into Sven's 'pumping up' program.
  • He opposes both YHVH and Lucifer, believing that both of them have no interests in human strength and would rather subverts them. Not even he truly believes in Lucifer's belief of strong ruling over the weak when he is a divine being himself. So long as he stand with his spear on hand, he will not bow down to the divinity that would bring doom to humanity.
    • As much as he despises both YHVH and Lucifer, he doesn't make exceptions with the Divine Powers since their plan involves the destruction of humanity, especially since the consent is neglected. It also doesn't help that they planned on using Flynn as their Godslayer, with their leader fusing with him to become Vishnu-Flynn.
  • Samurai Jack once helped a band of 300 spartan warriors to put an end to an endless war against a horde of machines known as the "Beast," and fifty years in his journey, the same band of warriors would come to take part in the final battle against Aku. After a sparring match to test Jack's might, Pantheon respected the wandering swordsman as a capable warrior who wandered for many decades and succeeded in his quest to vanquish evil, as well as complementing how he "jump good."
  • Like Siegfried, he was used as a host to a be a harbinger of destruction until they no longer have hold of them and free themselves as a result. Atreus once wish to help him on his quest to destroy both Soul Edge and Soulcalibur, two weapons that would surely doom humanity, but Siegfried is reluctant to receive aid as he believes that it is his own mission to stop Soul Edge.
    • Comparing him to Aatrox and the Darkins, Pantheon almost pities him that he is only strong because of the corrupt blade he wields. Almost, since his prescence enrages him and considered killing him to put an end to the monstrous sword's grasp.
  • "In battle, we are reborn."

So I'm getting a go-ahead on 'ascending' the Dressed for Divinity organization. Muundeis had suggested doing a Freudian Trio dynamic for the Administration 'division' (Millie's the Id, Edna's the Superego and Barbie's the Ego), but has no answer for where Rarity would be placed.

What should I do?

Kenji Oja, God of the Big First Choice (The Serpent's Son, Little Dragon, Lord Serpent or Lord Dragon)

  • Lesser God, Dragon!Kenji might reach Intermediate levels

  • Allies: The Commander (depending on their current allegiance)
  • Enemies: Each other and each other's allies, Heartless-summoners such as Master Xehanort
  • Sometimes, at some point in a game, you're required to make an important choice. This choice can affect a lot of things, from as little as available upgrades for the entire game, or even what storyline you'll take (requiring a replay to see it all). Kenji Oja, former exile from the Serpent Clan after being assumed to have killed his father, upon returning to the lands from where he was born, was faced with an important choice; in the midst of bandits raiding a village, who should he side with?
    • The Kenji who helps the bandits would rebuild the Serpent Clan under a tyrannical fist. The Kenji who helps the villagers would start anew as the benevolent Dragon Clan. Since both paths are irreconcilable with one another to ascend as a single person, two Kenjis were ascended as separate entities instead, and both immediately came to blows, disgusted at the other's choice (and disbelief from Serpent!Kenji after the revelation that the Serpent Orb's power and the Dragon are real after all). They were shortly separated by the Court, who had ascended them in the first place.
  • Applies to both Kenjis:
    • Their temples take the form of Serpentholm, remade in their respective images, and facing in opposite directions so as to minimize immediate clashes, mostly instigated by Serpent!Kenji.
    • And supporting the Kenjis as their Heralds are their Zen Masters, essentially hero units. While both Shinja and Otomo served both Kenjis, their ultimate allegiances brought the former to Serpent!Kenji and the latter to Dragon!Kenji. The latter Kenji was glad, given that Otomo dies in both paths, and now they're reunited.
    • Naturally, given their dispositions, Serpent!Kenji joined the GUAE while Dragon!Kenji joined the GUAG. Both Melkor and Cosmos were pleased with their latest additions to their ranks.
    • The Dragon Clan generally disdain firearms (though still use rockets) while the Serpent Clan appreciate and perfect their use. That said, even Dragon!Kenji is not above using them, and can learn to appreciate allies who use such weapons.
    • If there's one thing the two Kenjis have a common opinion on, it's despisal for creatures born from darkness thanks to their (separate) experiences with the Nightvol.
  • Exclusive to Serpent!Kenji:
    • Having a necromancer among his Zen Masters thanks to Shinja, he has no issues working with those who can raise the dead, such as Kel'Thuzad, to achieve his goals. Of course, that just means he won't oppose them on principle; their attitudes can still determine allegiances, such as him merely being on good terms with Arthas (if only because his Scourge are numerous enough to count as a threat).
    • When working alongside the Commander, even if it's proven really effective, he's annoyed whenever the Commander employs him as a damage sponge for the Ronin's Blood Bond (it transfers half the damage a Ronin takes to those they bond with) and keep Fan Geisha around to keep him healthy. It's a very effective strategy, sure, but that means sitting out of the fight. Now if it was some other Zen Master...
    • He's also come to like having Berkut and Charles zi Britannia on his side, even if only to help further his goals. This also goes for Kazuya Mishima and Bowser Jr., fellow evil sons to evil fathers, though he's bewildered by the... dynamic the latter's father has with the Mushroom Kingdom, given he hangs out with them half the time when he's not invading them.
    • Given his Yakuza look, and his ruthlessness, Kazuma Kiryu and Goro Majima have it out for him.
  • Exclusive to Dragon!Kenji:
    • Corrin gets along with him, having had to make a similar big choice, except it was between families who both love them and are good people to certain degrees (even if one family was under an evil king who might've been all but a puppet by this point), and they also had the chance for a third option. Of course, Corrin also shows contempt for Serpent!Kenji due to his cruelty.
    • His potential after unlocking his Ki holds so much light that he poses a great threat to dark entities with weakness to light has marked him as a threat to such deities or those who employ such creatures like Xehanort and Mr. Scratch.
    • As someone who goes against the intentions of their evil father( figure)s (even if posthumously in Kenji's case, as he wasn't actually responsible for his father's death), in addition to Corrin, Dragon!Kenji has become allies with Rock Howard, Zuko, Jin Kazama, and Alucard.

  • Awareness of Mr. Deeds became known during an experiment where he was tasked with performing something that inadvertently required him to be present in the Pantheon proper. An investigation eventually led to the Foundation and to SCP-662. His explicit abilities made him the perfect fit for Butlerspace, as he's a servant who explicitly appears out of nowhere when needed.
    • However, there came a few legal issues. Namely the fact that for the first time in the Pantheon, it's not an SCP of the Foundation that's being ascended (or an employee or a rival organization), but rather a byproduct of one. Also, given the nature of Mr. Deeds, tests had to be made to determine whether or not a location in the sight of an omniscient entity who can see everything everywhere counts as being observed; it's not, as long as where Mr. Deeds will "spawn" is not focused on, otherwise the bell would not have worked at all since the Foundation's ascension to the Pantheon.
  • Arrangements had to be made for his temple to ensure that there is at least one completely unobservable enclosure to guarantee Mr. Deeds's manifestation. At present, SCP-662, which is how Mr. Deeds is summoned, is kept in its red velvet lined case and stored in a High Value Storage locker in the temple when not being utilized for testing or other appropriate activities. Like SCP-261, Foundation staff are on guard to ensure nobody absconds with the bell when used. They're also there to perform regular polishing to avoid tarnish.
  • Mr. Deeds is summoned when SCP-662 is rung, and always addresses the ringer of the bell by their appropriate title and last name, and ask what it is they desire. His knowledge of individuals’ last names and titles is a mystery, as he himself will purport.
    • If the individual is gender-neutral or gender-indeterminate, and holds no royal title or military rank (like King Pendragon (whether it's Artoria or Arthur who summons him) or Commander Shepard), Deeds will use an honorific that matches the commonly perceived gender (or switches between Mr., Ms., or Mrs. between summon periods), along with an apology for his inability to 100 percent determine their gender.
    • If the individual has no surname (such as A2 or Teddie), he will use their single name.
    • If the individual conceivably has a surname that merely isn't known to the public (like Agent G or the Zombieland crew), the surnames he provides will be distorted and unhearable to all except the addressed individual. Said individuals' reactions often vary.
  • Most reasonable requests given to Mr. Deeds will result in satisfaction. However, there are limits to what he can do, such as very complex items like sports cars, luxury homes, or personal jets. If he is allowed to leave line of sight and return, he is able to produce smaller, less complex items such as a ham sandwich, a glass of iced tea, or even more luxurious items like caviar or a brick of gold (though only up to 99.14% purity).
    • So far, he's been able to procure the following in Foundation tests: Nearly any conceivable kind of sandwich (except human flesh), beverages of nearly any kind (except human blood, though pig blood was okay, and served still warm), a hand grenade of modern U.S. Military grade, which performed as expected in testing, the board game Monopoly (Mr. Deeds won on the first playthrough), a bouquet of fresh-picked red roses.
  • Mr. Deeds will also perform menial tasks, such as washing vehicles, preparing food, and cleaning bathrooms. If a request is deemed unreasonable or impossible by the butler, he will kindly tell the ringer so, and offer an alternative if one may be had.
    • Among tasks he's performed in Foundation tests: cleaning of cars, dish washing of a day's worth of meals from a cafeteria, trimming of hair (but it turns out that Mr. Deeds is not in fact a very good barber), washing of laundry (and the clothing was found to "fit better" in the user's estimation), and assassinations (but not if they're too well guarded and entrenched, and could not or would not give further details).
  • Unfortunately, his origins and why he does why he does (or why he can't do certain things) are unknown, even to himself, as far as the Foundation has been able to glean from their methods. All attempts at mind-reading came up with psychicmental equivalent of seeing static and color bars like on television.
What should a mind-reader find?

@Sieg, if you’re looking for another Dragon Slayer how does The Warden and Inquisitor sound and what do you think mentioning Himura Kenshin?

@Super WIKI, here’s an [tup] for Original Char

@mariovsonic999, how about mentioning Mario? He’s famous for jumping.

[down] sorry, I missed it somehow. Probably because I didn’t see him under allies like thought he would.

@Nightelf: No, wait! How about a Four-Girl Ensemble instead? Barbie's The Ingenue, Rarity's the Tomboy (for lack of a better position...), Millie's the seductress (also lack of a better position...) and Edna's the Team Mom.

[down] I literally just said "for lack of a better position" so I'm just as disappointed as you...

I dunno guys. There's obviously Four-Temperament Ensemble and Four-Philosophy Ensemble but I have my own work to do and I don't want to lose too much sleep over this...

@Whirl: I agree. Yet between the four, if it comes to a fight, she will do so physically. And of all the Barbie movies I've seen, she's either on the magic end or a finesse-type. *shrug*

[up] Well, in Maniac Mansion, he was one of six optional companions for the main character. In the sequel, Day of the Tentacle, he was the main character and established as one of the three canon heroes of the previous game.

Still, if it turns out there are better fits for Ascended Extra, then so be it. (shrug)

Erm...ARE there better fits?

I have a few ideas. What do you think of them?

  • Drednaw, God of Jagged Mouths (House of Facial Attributes, True Neutral): Drednaw has a clear jagged set of jaws. This is reflecting on how it is based off the alligator snapping turtle, which has a nasty bite. It also plays into one of its abilities, Strong Jaw, and it is called the Bite Pokemon
  • Frankenstein(Fate): I think she does still fit Adaptational Attractiveness. While the Creature did go Adaptational Ugliness in most adaptations, he was still considered scary because he fell into the Uncanny Valley which severely contrasted with his otherwise attractive physique. Literal waifu Berserker Frankenstein doesn't have anything remotely ugly about her and looks adorable. If not, what else fits her?
  • Jack the Ripper, Goddess of Outfits Unsuitable for Their Age: A splintering from Jack the Ripper, adopted from Muundeis. Reasoning? Servant Jack is a mid to late teen yet wears a rather skimpy ensemble not fit for her age
