Trope Pantheons Discussion

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 means the profile will have a one week waiting period.
  - For new and reworked deities, 4 is a 3 day waiting period.
  - 5 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 is a 3 day waiting period.
  - 4 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.

several pages ago, I considered ascending the Xenomorph race for Suspiciously Stealthy Predator, being the most iconic I could find for it. The Wikia Editor suggests reworking them (and the drone) for its current trope Chest Burster.

Here are the others that I could find in the Suspiciously Stealthy Predator trope page that aren't already up.

The sharks from Deep Blue Sea
Seth the king cobra
The creatures in Primeval
The Walkers

As you can see, the selection is small. And I doubt any one else here would fit. Presently, I'm considering the Walkers, given just now many times they've gotten the jump on the survivors despite being brainless corpses that shouldn't have a clue how to be sneaky.

Detective Isaac Washington Jr., God of Excessive Swearing

Returning to: Tics
s: 3 (The Wikia Editor, Ferot_Dreadnaught, Super WIKI 1)
Ascending on: Jan 27 (repost on Jan 21 and 24)
Demigod
Symbol: A Shotgun
Alignment: Chaotic Neutral
Portfolio: Boisterous Bruiser, Swearing A Whole Damn Lot, Bald Of Awesome, Blaxploitation Parody, Dual Wielding Guns, Cowboy Cop, Not A Fan of Insects, Even Bad Men Love Their Mamas, Jerk with a Heart of Gold, A Very Goul-Mouthed Tsundere
Domains: Black People, Guns, Swearing
Followers: Kainé, Yata Misaki, Oyuki-Chan, Maika Halfwolf, Holden Caulfield, Marco Mazzoli, the Dra+Koi protagonist
Allies: The AMS Agents (particularly G), Samuel L. Jackson, Travis Touchdown, Anarchy Panty Anarchy, all Good-aligned Resident Evil deities, Saeko Busujima, Rei Miyamoto, Juliet Starling, The Green Flu Survivors, Columbus, Tallahassee, Wichita and Little Rock
Teeth-Clenched Teamwork with: Jill Valentine
Enemies: The Magician, Albert Wesker, Alex Wesker, Dracula, Dr. Zomboss, the Special Infected, many undead gods in the Pantheon, particularly the zombie-type
When it comes to swear words, none have said as many with such regularity as Detective Isaac Washington, Agent G's impromptu partner during the 1991 Papa Ceasar actually Clement Darling Case. Thanks to him, his game holds the Guinness World Record for the most swear words in a video game ever (while it was later superseded by Mafia II, no one there cusses as much as Isaac has). And it's thanks to that that he ascended to the Pantheon. He was also the first from his game series to do so.
As for who the duck he is, Isaac was a detective who lived in Bayou City, Louisiana. When it got struck by a viral compound that turned the population into mutants (he was at a strip club at his apartment^*actually, he was out visiting his Mom's, but he'll deny that), upon returning, and finding out that Papa Caesar (who killed his father, except not really) was behind this (except it was actuqall ), he worked together with G to put a stop to it.
- It is not known if he and G actually got to go to Vegas, since the pilot turned out to be a mutant and they had to shoot it.
After his ascension, some of the Gods have wondered that he resembles Samuel Jackson. Isaac, however, snubs them for assuming such a theory.
Due to his potty mouth, he's not allowed near any children. Except those who already cuss regularly, like Tiny Tina or Joel's partner Ellie. And if he does cuss in range, he gets his speech censored from their ears. Only he gets his treatment due to his lack of self-control.
Goldman is really angry at the fact that Isaac, a friend of one of the AMS Agents (G) has ascended. The EFI President plans to eliminate him for unknown reasons. Unbeknownst to Isaac, (even if he eventually listened to the tape, since no names were dropped) Goldman may or may not be one of the few "powerful friends" Papa Caesar was referring to in his tape.
- But he's since disappeared after the Magician's ascension, who in turn decided to target Isaac as well due to his connection with G.
Got a few teases after it was discovered that Isaac apparently gets his nails manicured. That, or it was just an excuse to not dig into a corpse's entrails for a ringing phone inside it. Especially since he had no problems holding the bloody phone G dug out afterwards. Then again, that's arguably just his fingers rather than his nails getting dirty, so... In any case, Isaac is not explaining his reasons.
Has a gun he calls the Gwendolyn, which has the power (but not the crowd control) of the automatic shotgun, the range of the handgun, and has Bottomless Magazines.
Ever since several elevator-related hazards throughout his adventure with G, Washington has acquired a fear of going into elevators.
Has no problems shooting criminals on the spot. Sledge Hammer actually approves that one time he shot Papa Caesar in the right leg.
Due to his encounter with a literal example in Clement Darling, he will not say the word "motherfucker" to anyone who actually screwed their mother. Other swear words are still fair game, though.

What else can be added to Mr. Deeds? Who would keep on trying to abscond with his bell?

Mr. Deeds, God of Butlerspace

Potential House: Subordinates and Space Manipulation
s: 1 (The Wikia Editor)

Lesser God
Symbol: SCP-662, the bell that summons him
Alignment: True Neutral, or whatever the ringer of his bell needs him to be.
Portfolio: Basically A Genie in a Bottle, Benevolent Genie, Absolute Loyalty To Whoever Rings The Bell, Will Even Kill People If Asked, Needs To Be Unobserved To Do Deliveries, No Explanation To How He Does What He Does, Always Comes Back Okay When Killed
Domain(s): Bells, Butlers
Followers: The Devil King's Butler, Eirote, Hagiyoshi, Discworld Igors, James MacGuiness
Allies: Whoever summons him
Enemies: Whoever he kills
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.
As a manservant, Mr. Deeds drew the attention of folks with similar lines of work and was summoned on separate occasions by Elenore Baker, Sakuya Izayoi, Alfred Pennyworth, Fiona Mayfield, Hayate Ayasaki, and Sebastian Michaelis for conversations.

I've see minor Rise Of Skywalker detailes were added to Palpatine's profile. Nothing spoilery, but it suggest we may want to figure out a rework before someone innocently adds anything spoilery.

Since it seem his Robot Chicken portrayal is canon to his profile, this provides some very important, I dare say Better Than Canon, foreshadowing:

I, for one, would rather not see parodic works considered canon to a pantheon profile if it's out of character for the character in question. Same goes for memes.

If you can at the very least acknowledge the meme as something the deities saw on the Internet, then I guess that's fine in my book.

Again, he said out of character. I am perfectly fine with that suggestion. Not every profile should have a parody mentioned or a meme mentioned just for the sake of it. If it fits their personality, thats acceptable.

For people saying they don’t like adding anything about parodies and abridged information, please remember that we have written rules about them in Instructions and Tips. It’s fine as long as the profile is mainly portrayed as the canon version.

First official draft of the Kims and Parks. I will be frank I feel quite disappointed with my effort with the profile as I believe I have not done justice for the film's success and that I am still missing something from the profile, as opposed to my former profiles, then again, considering that the Pantheon has a bunch of superpowered deities all around, its hard to find regular civilians.

Anyway, as always is the profile ready or are there more suggestions that are in need to add. I really want to make my featured profile one of the best before heading to February.

The Kims and Parks^Members, Divine Dueling Families of the Parasitism Between the Poor and Rich (Ki-woo: Kevin, Ki-jeong: Jessica)

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/kims.png

From the top picture, left to right: Kim Ki-woo, Kim Ki-taek, Kim Chung-sook, Kim Ki-jeong. From the bottom picture, left to right: Park Da-hye, Park Yeon-kyo, Park Dong-ik, Park Da-song

Quasideities
Symbols: The 2 families on a rock with the water oppositely showing their reflections◊.
Theme Song: Opening
Alignment: Arguably, both qualify for Chaotic Neutral or True Neutral, but it can also be both.
Portfolios:
- The Kims: A resourceful and skillful family even when unwillingly killing the members of the Parks, extremely poor living, pretty deceptive all around, will use any unorthodox methods to get the upper hands, exceptionally well-rounded workers with wits but lack any motivation nor roadmap for successful jobs, loves each other regardless of the situation
- Kim Ki-taek: Believes planning is pointless for the future, caring to the entire family especially to his wife Kim Chung-sook, very exploitative against the rich but will do anything to keep his family afloat, the one constantly reminded of their social status and uncaring towards the Parks, the member of the Kims who goes mad and kills Mr. Park after going insane due to the Parks' exploitations
- Kim Chung-sook: The most honest of the family, uncaring of the Parks' possessions, especially dogs though she makes a point considering the Parks' jackassery, former athlete and protective against her children, great cook of the Kims, the member of the Kims who is the most ruthless in a fight
- Kim Ki-woo: The "protagonist" of the story, naive son of the family despite being smart, only gained access as a teacher for the Parks to steal their fortune by forming a romantic relationship with their underaged daughter (and actually ends up falling in love with her), nearly dies as a result of the Parks' former helpers but ends up surviving
- Kim Ki-jeong: The Kims' lazy daughter who can easily forge documents and the best liar of the family, desires to be more than Korean, smokes almost all the time, known to have low opinions on both sides, but still loves her family and Da-song, the first of the Kims to die at the hands of the original helpers
- The Parks: An extremely messed up family that is broken while masquerading as a happy family, rich yet brutally by-the-house without any care towards anyone surrounding them
- Park Dong-ik: The patriarchial jackass of the Parks, extremely classy with his suits, the most staunch of the family when it comes to elitism, gets brutally murdered by Ki-taek following his uncaring personality against him and his family
- Park Yeon-kyo: The beautiful yet dumbfounded wife of the Parks, constantly represses her misery to the point of being implied to be addicted to drugs, the most fooled and exploited member for the Kims, only kept by Dong-ik just because she is sexually attractive, only great on the beauty side but never on the actual chores
- Park Da-song: The "weird" son of the Parks, has artwork that some consider to be incoherent, way too exposed on the watered-down Hollywood-image of Native Americans, being the most ignored of the entire family despite being the only one that identifies the plots against the entire family and suffers PTSD as a result
- Park Da-hye: The "observant" daughter of the Parks, known to attract the two bachelors she met with one being the Kims' son, only known for her attraction towards Ki-woo, saves a nearly dying Ki-woo by dragging him to the hospital thanks to the adrenaline that she has experienced following the circumstances
Domains: the Rich and the Poor, Social Status, Nuclear Families, Parasities (metaphorically)

Allies: Agnes, Anna, Karin and Maria, The Simpsons Family, Victor Van Dort and Victoria Everglot

Pitied by: Sarah Crewe, Charlie Bucket
Enemy Mine with: Paul and Peter
The social classes between the rich and the poor can change one or more people's lives as the boundary of fortune mostly revolves on the former than the latter, but what happens when it is flown to the other side? Well this is what happens to these two families. The Kims, who are an extremely poor family are smart and resourceful, able to lie and create deceit towards others. On the other side are the Parks, a wealthy rich family (though family is a more generous term for them) who act as if they are in the top of the world for their wealth. When the Parks chooses to hire the Kims' son, Kim Ki-woo into the household as a teacher, the downfall of the two families begin in what can be described as a masquerade between the two, but most importantly was how the Kims were able to successfully leech the Parks' wealth during the course of their actions while at the same time, the Parks' own distaste and treatment towards the lower classes also slowly takes over the Kims own patience. Essentially, parasites to their own.
To shorten the two families, the Kims are a smart, if not very deceitful, bunch who will do anything to succeed when it comes to leeching off the fortunes of anyone they meet. They have the skills and toolsets for any perfect profession... but remain unwilling to even strive for those goals, hence why they prefer going after the rich. And out of all the rich families they have encountered are the Parks, a slowly dwindling family that, while rich on the outside, are very dysfunctional on the inside, with 2 of their children very unwitty, their mother unable to do any simple household chores and their father being an arrogant corporate prick, yet for some reason are still together despite the conflicts surrounding them.
Their presence in the Pantheon was unnoticed by many deities as they thought the two families were nothing more but visitors, however, the message that the two have brought with them such as the division of both the rich and poor and how both sides are prone to be in the wrong like the Parks' own uncaring attitude towards the poor to the Kims' willingness to kill when their deceit is being unraveled as well as their habit of ruining other people's jobs for their benefit became a highlight to their ascension, so much that the Court of the Gods brought both families in as a response to the message.
Despite their social differences, one noticeable similarity is their family structure, overall both families seem to have both a father and mother and two kids of both genders. This becomes important as the families, especially the kids do have developed relationships with each other, as opposed to the parents who seem to be on the fence against each other, especially with Dong-ik, who almost always treats the poor with little respect, outside of telling how smelly they are.
- This unique structure the family possesses was seen by the Simpsons family, who seem to be the bridge between the poor and rich social structure as the family have gone many tribulations from near bankruptcy to outright rich endevours. As for their response, the Parks' father Dong-ik has refused to collaborate with them, their mother Yeon-kyo has been getting motherly lessons from Marge and the kids are rather reluctant to interact to both Bart and Lisa, outside of Da-song learning some Native American facts from Lisa. On the other hand, both Ki-taek and Homer do go very well with each other as they drink beer while Chung-sook avoids Marge due to her roughness towards the rich and perhaps even the middle class and the two children don't really talk much outside of Bart looking at Ki-jeong with curiosity and Lisa forced to teach Ki-woo actual english.
- The family structures however does not help the dysfunctional status of the two families. For all the Kims skills comes their laziness and the Parks are basically all over the places similar to a bottle filled with different colors. The Wilkerson Family saw this, and while none of the family members saw this outside of pure similarity, their son, Malcolm sees eerie similarities deeper from the surface, such as Lois' parenting to Dong-ik's, Hal's near uselessness to Yeon-kyo, Reese's status as the family's dumbass son to Ki-woo and perhaps himself to both Ki-woo and Ki-jeong for their smart and lazy mindset.
- As if it wasn't bad enough, their familial relationships are near similar to another heavily broken family, the Mishima family, with the very bloodthirsty feud between Kazuya and Heihachi Mishima and the troubled pasts of both Jin Kazama and Jun Kazama. While the entire troubled pasts are non existent to the family duos and that the bloodshed was very little compared to the Mishima debacle, there is certainly some similarity of broken familial relationships here and there.
The two families and their relationship as master and maids brought the attention of four women: Agnes, Anna, Karin and Maria, who took notice of the two families and saw the connection. However, the other sisters see more than that, with Maria being rather sympathetic to the Kims and for being rather similar in both being manipulative and adept liars, while Karin understands the issues going on with Dong-ik and Yeon-kyo. Agnes was rather saddened to hear the fate that befell both families and could see how even in any class would always cause issues, be it rich or poor.
After their ascensions, the two families were reached out by two men with white clothing, asking if they could borrow some eggs. As they set up the first game for the two families to interact with, they were met with anger from the two fathers, with Ki-taek sick of Dong-ik's comments against him, and Chung-sook bringing out a knife in front of him, while Yeon-kyo passed out due to all the ensuring chaos and the siblings of both families are simply watching the parents against each other. Then in an surprise visit from the Parks' old helpers, Moon-gwang and Geun-se, did the tides turn against the Kims as their children were slowly getting killed one by one. The aftermath of the chaos led to both Paul and Peter satisfied with the carnage from the two families and decided not to play the games, instead willing to watch the two against each other from time to time.
The Kims are extremely poor, so much that almost all of them are simply running temporary jobs with no credentials whatsoever with their father Ki-taek running most of those, but that is made up for their reourcefulness and intelligent skills in the art of scamming anyone who they see as worth stealing from, such as their daughter Ki-jeong who is pretty much the master of all their con scheming and Ki-woo who acts as the writer/director of the plans while their mother Chung-sook acts like the muscle of the group. This mindset of theirs is what puts them always poor, as their minds are not so much as focusing on getting decent jobs, but stealing from others.
- After their ascensions, the Kims started having newer opportunities to explore. Ki-jeong decided to go back to her Jessica moniker while Ki-woo started going back to his name as Kevin and explore being a hired tutor for the family, while Ki-taek got more opportunities as a driver (and other jobs) and Chung-sook is watching the family so that all of them remain together no matter the costs.
- This mindset of theirs is counter-opposite to a fellow poor man Chester A. Bum, who the family calls him to be a raving lunatic of the annoying kind. However, they do sometimes go to hime for some tips on how to live the poor life, as Chester is very experienced in the poor settlement more than anyone in the Pantheon knows.
- For a while, Chung-sook was approached by a blonde woman, who approached her with respect on her part. While she shrugged it away at first, she later realised she was talking to a person who represented her skill of being More Deadly Than the Male. She announced herself as Annie Leonhardt and saw her brutal skill as an athlete put into the real world to be something very remarked at. When the mother asked if she was ever rich, Annie could only respond with:
Annie: "Riches? There are no riches on my world, unless you consider blood to be that."
- At one point, Omar Little heard about the family's notoriety when it comes to cons and ponzi schemes. He payed them a visit and noticed how both of them are pretty much poor people, unafraid of the type of people they are willing to cross. This earned The Terror's respect very much that he is a very welcome visitor to the family.
- Outside of Omar Little, Ochako has been taking small visits from the Kims from time to time. While her family has warned her of the Kims' swindling schemes, she has good faith that her helping them will possibly change their mindset for the better, as opposed to being stuck in an endless loop of stealing.
- The news of the Kims' own swindling schemes came unnoticed when Tomie Kawakami saw what the family was planning outside of just stealing fortune from the Parks. In an attempt to steal their fortune, she seduced their son Ki-woo and came Chung-sook and Ki-jeong getting rid of her to keep her away from their son. That would not be the last however as she has taken attempts to not only swoon on him but on Ki-taek as well, seeing that the family are rivals when it comes to the stealing and leeching of wealth from others.
- On the other side of the globe however, the same poor-rich scenario that occurred to them appeared on Gotham after an incident that was related with the Joker. While the Kims wanted to see the events, what they found from the news was that this Joker was far different from the original incarnation, a man by the name of Arthur Fleck took the Joker persona and caused havoc and chaos towards society with the poor-rich relationship being just a side-effect of the riots. Nonetheless, this version of the Joker sympathizes with the family and promises that those people like the Parks will suffer the same pain they inflicted on them.
The Parks are a very rich family, so rich that they act aristocratic when it comes to their behaviour, but that costed them their bonds, as the family is less than an actual family and more of a group of uncoordinated individuals. Their children are very rambunctious, especially their son Da-song who seems to think of the artistic type (even though many people think otherwise) though much less their daughter Da-hye, who is rather observant in some cases, their mother Yeon-kyo is clueless about anything related to housework, hence why she relies on maids or househelpers, and their father Dong-ik, while supplying the family with riches, ends up being having the biggest disdain towards anyone and an arrogance that clearly put him at a disadvantage despite being an upper class.
- While their ascension was being finished, Dong-ik decided to establish his tech firm in the family's temple to continue their wealth, while Yeon-kyo was trying to finish her list of things to accomplish prior to them moving to a temple. Da-song ended entering the House of Cultures to see more of the native Indians and Da-hye ended up just watching all of this from the perch of her room.
- Thanks to all the richness they have, that lead the family to interest with the Reagans, who themselves are rich as well. Because of the family's cluelessness, they seem to accept their presence, and their father is the one that accepts their invitations considering that both are in the upper class, even though the Reagans in particular have a record of disrespect that would even rival Dong-ik's own attitude.
- Upper class student Byakuya Togami took a small interest on the family and is interested with working alongside Dong-ik, though his reaction towards the other family members are not the same. For one, he sees Yeon-kyo nearly useless and her children hard to communicate with. What he doesn't know is that compared to the two of them, the father is more of the arrogant douche than Byakuya is.
- For those wondering what is happening behind the scenes with Yeon-kyo and her husband, its a rather long story. Despite being married with him for a long time, the couple's toleration to each other is a rather all time low. In fact, he basically treat's her as a Trophy Wife and not an actual love interest, so much that is has slowly broken her many times. This feeling is something both Trip and Grace has unfortunately felt after their marriage, so much that hearing Yeon-kyo's experiences with him has left both slowly reconsidering their marriage facade and at the same time, trying to remedy the situation with her.
- The tales of the rich Parks was not received well by two known rich figures: Jay Gatsby and Charles Kane, who saw the Parks to be a true testament to the perils of being very rich. Gatsby in particular feels extreme disappointment with Dong-ik's disdain towards anyone, especially the poor while Kane's response to this is with contempt due to how unstructured the family is despite all the wealth they have, a case that Kane had suffered and died of as a result.

Maniac Mansion was one of the first video games — if not THE first — to feature cutscenes, which would become a staple of video games in the coming years. The sequel, Day of the Tentacle, would improve this already-revolutionary feature with full voice-acting. Both games would be well-received, and this would be among the reasons the heroes of both games would be considered for ascension into the Pantheon of Tropes.
- It had been a while since Bernard Bernoulli and his friends Hoagie and Laverne had saved their world from an insane mutant Purple Tentacle, and even longer since he, Dave Miller, and one other friend of theirs (he's pretty sure it was Razor, but there was a chance it was Syd) first entered the Edison Manor to rescue Dave's girlfriend Sandy Pantz, and ended up saving the world from a mind-controlling meteor in the process! When the doorbell to his dorm room rang, Bernard wasn't sure what to expect, but it certainly wasn't an invitation to a pantheon (alongside his friends)! After he, Hoagie, and Laverne stepped through a portal spawned by the invitation, they found themselves in the pantheon proper, and Bernard was surprised again, this time to find his old friends who he broke into the mansion with the first time (as well as Sandy, the Edisons, and Green Tentacle, as they were the heralds). A party was thrown to celebrate not only the ascension, but also the reunion Bernard had with his old friends.
  - Most of Bernard's old friends were understandably quite unnerved by Laverne, the only exceptions being Syd and Razor, who learned about her through Hoagie, their roadie and drummer.
Due to their encounter with an evil, sentient, mind-controlling meteor from outer space, they're on the lookout for other evil aliens, such as Freeza. Of course, they're not strong enough to take on all of them; if they're going to defeat one, they'll need to do what they always do: use their brains.
Due to a gruesome incident in the Edison Manor involving Weird Ed's first hamster and a microwave, many small mammals in the pantheon distrust Syd, Razor, and to a lesser extent, Bernard (who had admitted to swiping the hamster in the first place). They also distrust Laverne (infamous for dissecting smaller animals) and Hoagie (who had once suggested biting a hamster's head off for a performance by his band). All these people are thus banned from the Hall of Rabbits and Rodents, except for Bernard, but even then, they keep a close eye on him.
Laverne greatly admires Dr. Ludwig the Medic, seeing him as an inspiration. The Medic has decided to make Laverne an apprentice, on the condition that she doesn't try to dissect his doves. Other deities are very much afraid of this partnership...
Syd, Razor, and Hoagie often make visits to the House of Music to either enjoy listening to others rock out or to do some rocking out of their own. They were forced — under threat of having the Killer Rabbit sicced on them — to do away with the animal abuse, such as the aforementioned head-biting.
Jeff enjoys surfing in the SAFER parts of the Pantheon's waters, or at least those that aren't patrolled by such vicious sea creatures as Bruce, the Meg, and the Kraken. He found out about Bruce the hard way when he was surfing out on the deeper waters and shooting a curl, because Bruce decided to swim up into that wave and right behind Jeff! The young man barely managed to escape through sheer luck. One thing was certain: no one who witnessed the event would ever forget the sight of that enormous shark swimming inside the big wave, and of course, Jeff was the least likely to ever forget!

Freudian Excuse: Not one person is entirely good or evil; something will have to have happened in the past to make them what they are today.

Those in bold should go up, along with The Dahaka into Caretakers and Mickey into Figures.

I assume the bolded ones are the ones you think are more likely/worthy. Personally, I think Mickey, Godzilla, Merlin all have a strong case.

You tell me. Whoever added him must have also added Mario and both don't seem to have bearing on the Pantheon's big events. Persobally, I want them both removed but I'll leave it to the jury on that one.

BTW, Legendary Figures are figures who contributed in a big way or left a big mark in the course of the Pantheon's history, so it was really hard to find such deities. In fact, I only remember Yui and Godzilla having specific reasons for me adding them.

Look at Caregivers, i thought they have a more direct involvement in making sure the Pantheon is running smoothly. I can see it with everybody except G&W.

I question why he is Greater God level in the first place. While in the Smash Bros universe he might have a bit of an eldritch origin, i don't think he is a Greater Deity level.

Yes, remove him and derank him to Lesser or Intermediate

Should Mario be removed too? He doesn't seem to be referenced as having a big role in the Pantheon's history and being a House Guardian seems enough for him.

@Whirl: Game & Watch should be Intermediate.

Since we're basing divine rank solely on power now, I'm thinking if re-examining our ascended DC and Marvel superheroes to see if their rank reflects their power. Now Batman seems over-ranked for starters.

Yup, it was decided as such since IRL people like Albert Einstein were being ranked Greater God despite not having anything else to offer but historic contributions.
