Welcome to the Trope Pantheons thread! Please read the rules:
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
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.

First draft of Ghiaccio
Ghaccio, God of Inertial Impalement
- Adopted from: Crownless Mimic
- House: Manners of Death (House of Life and Death)
- Lesser God
- Symbol: The Stand he wears, White Album
- Theme Song: Ice
- Alignment: Neutral Evil
- Portfolio: A Hotheaded Ice Person With An Ice Suit Stand, Nigh-Invulnerable with it, Nerd Glasses, Hates It When People Mispronounce, Forcibly Pushed Into Impalement, Gangster With Glasses, Hair-Trigger Temper and Chewing the Scenery, Rollerblade Good
- Domains: Cold, Stands, Armor, Crime, Grammar
- Allies: The rest of La Squadra Esecuzioni (Risotto Nero, Pesci), Leonard Snart (mostly), Mr Freeze, Cryogonal
- On good terms with: Yoruka Kirihime
- Enemies: DIAVOLO, Giorno Giovanna and their respective gangs (especially Guido Mista), Frank Castle, Tommy Wiseau, John Doe, Excalibur
- Avoids: Vlad III
- Annoyed by: Frost(Mortal Kombat), anyone who pronounces Italian wrong
- Ghiaccio is one of La Squadra Esecuzioni, a group high ranking assassins for Passione. Defecting after they threatened to reveal the boss's identity, the Boss plotted them to go after Giorno and his friends. Ghiaccio was the last one standing before his boss Risotto Nero. Very friendly with his allies, however outside of that he proves temperamental, can get confused and angered by metaphors. Despite his abilities, he's anything but icy.
- Perished by being forcibly pushed into a pole, neck first. Given the Inertial Impalement that befell him, he'd rather stay clear of Vlad the Impaler. For starters, he knows Vlad's impalements are a lot more painful. Though so long as he doesn't interfere, Vlad isn't going to bother him. On the note of impalement, don't use it as a comparison between Ghiaccio and Metal Face; even he thinks he's horrid.
- His Stand is rather unique in that rather than the traditional form of a Fighting Spirit, White Album is an icy armor that's Nigh-Invulnerable. That is, except for the air hole in his neck letting him breathe. One Sontaran suggests he should use it to encourage him into being braver, relating to his own weak spot. The Punisher simply saw it as a target, as expected for a vigilante against criminals like Ghiaccio.
- Very skilled at freezing things. He can freeze things in seconds to -100 degrees, even water moisture, and his freezing is very dangerous to the human body. When using Gently Weeps, he can cool things down to make the air itself freeze. Because of this cooling effect, Cryogonal enjoys his presence. The House of Wind and Air has kept this in mind, finding it a dangerous ability for them to deal with.
- When not trying to get his revenge against Giorno or especially Diavolo, Ghiaccio works in the House of Killers and Assassins. For most of them he has a cordial enough relationship, however he considers the Brave Companions rather repellent. And due to his temper, John Doe rationalizes him as an example of the sin of wrath. Ghiaccio does have a more positive relationship with Youruka Kirihime, mainly because he relates to her betrayed status even if they don't agree on a moral level with one another.
- Not the only crook to use ice powers. Both Mr Freeze and Captain Cold are interested in Ghiaccio for his ice powers and he'll work for them in order to achieve his crimes for La Squadra. However Cold doesn't like their involvement in the drug trade, even if it's not as bad as Diavolo and Passione, and has warned him to keep his behavior in check if he's going to work for him.
- Like most people, he considers Frost irritable and very annoying. Less seriously, he has run afoul of ex-villain and member of the Anti-Villain League Felonius Gru, along with Mei-Ling Zhou, due to him using ice powers for evil while they try to do so for good. It's not a serious enmity, mind you, and there's no hard feelings between the three.
- Absolutely hates how foreign languages do not respect Italian words, and expresses annoyance at the confusing wording of various metaphors. Like using the English Venice instead of the Italian Venezia. Tommy Wiseau's unexplained accent and butchering of words really sets him off.
Anything left to suggest for Waluigi or does he look good to go?
Waluigi, God of Lanky Villains (Evil Luigi, Wa Luigi, the Twerkpocalypse)
- Lesser God
- Symbol: An "Γ" emblem (may or may not be emblazoned on a tennis racket)
- Theme Music: Wario Stadium/Waluigi Pinball; Heeeere's Waluigi
- Alignment: Chaotic Neutral
- Portfolio: Satellite Character, Butt-Monkey, Jerkass, Beware the Silly Ones, Cloudcuckoolander, Harmless Villain, The Trickster, Evil Counterparts with Small Villainous Crimes
- Domains: Mischief, Mayhem
- Allies: Wario, Dick Dastardly & Muttley, ProtonJon, Nayrman214, Eario, Vinny
- Rivals: Mario, Luigi, Princess Peach, Princess Daisy, Daffy Duck
- Enemies: Bowser, Rafaam, Trollkaiger
- Vitriolic Best Buds with: The Spy
- Waluigi is for Luigi what Wario is for Mario; a mean doppelganger with a penchant for causing mischief wherever he goes. Much like how Wario is twice as fat and much meaner than Mario, Waluigi is twice as thin and more devious than Luigi. The purple-clad prankster often goes around with Wario causing others trouble during recreational activities, especially if it's related to Luigi, Mario, and/or their friends. Waluigi may as well just be someone for Wario to hang out with whenever the latter isn't busy running a company or searching for gold.
- A skinny purple-clad weirdo with a tennis racket barged into the Pantheon one day demanding that he be a part of it. Noticing that racket he had, some denizens figured that this man wanted to play some tennis and directed Waluigi to a tennis court where preparations were underway for a major tournament. Waluigi ended up performing fairly well in the tournament and when he got far ahead, his final opponent was none other than Luigi. The audience present noticed how much of a twisted caricature Waluigi is to Luigi appearance wise. While Waluigi certainly put up a good performance against Luigi during that tennis match, Luigi was able to best his strange counterpart and win that tennis tournament, much to Waluigi's frustration. Having already competed against Luigi prior to this, Waluigi has dedicated himself to trying to upstage the Mario Bros. with Wario’s help after getting accepted to the Pantheon despite his loss.
- Waluigi found someone who had a similar sense of mischief and cunning in The Spy. Things went fairly smoothly for the two, but Waluigi had no clue about The Spy’s tendency to backstab anyone at random until he himself fell victim to one. He had gone through a lot worse prior to this, so Waluigi decided to set up a revenge prank on The Spy in response. The Spy ended up dodging Waluigi’s attempt and caught up to the weirdo. He didn’t hold anything against Waluigi following this and while the two still maintain an amicable relationship, they’re definitely not above pulling pranks on each other whenever they don’t have someone else falling victim to their antics.
- ProtonJon is surprisingly a good ally of Waluigi's (which included participating in Mario Party contests), and even helped him invest in a bridal boutique enterprise. That hasn't stopped the rest of The Runaway Guys from discussing his Designated Villain status. The biggest debates they've had regarding him usually revolve around the question, "What evil thing has Waluigi ever done?" Among other random tidbits that the group has made up about him include claims that Waluigi is a Mexican Titan who runs a bridal boutique, is a gambling and drug addict, worships Lord Helix and his last name is Scapelli.
- There have been other content creators in the Pantheon that enjoy Waluigi’s antics. Among them is Ryan Malis (aka Nayrman214) of Brainscratch Commentaries. Like Protonjon, Ryan has used Waluigi in a number of Mario Party games with his respective group and has done well with him despite (or maybe because of) the various shenanigans that have occurred in the game with Waluigi, much to the other members’ dismay. Ryan even considered inviting Waluigi over to BSC’s place for some fun, but that got shot down by the other members quickly. Vinny is another content creator that likes Waluigi and in addition to picking him for a number of games that he’s playable in, Vinny has made a number of jokes related to Waluigi, including one related to Waluigi being a genie.
- Having participated in many activities held by Mario and co. with the intent of trying to upstage them with Wario’s help, Waluigi figured that the Smash tournament would help him get closer to the limelight. He only managed getting an Assist Trophy role there, running around with a tennis racket and stomping opponents to the ground before whacking them with his racket and appearing for a short period of time overall. While those who are also Assist Trophies are content with their role, Waluigi was the only one that was actively trying to find a way to become a proper participant in these tournaments, but those attempts always end in failure for him, much like a lot of his attempts to hog the spotlight for himself.
- In the SMG4-verse, Waluigi became a god-like entity through the power of rejection (and not being liked by others was something the regular Waluigi had to put up with a lot), only to be brought back to normal because there was someone that cared about him: the Wario from that universe. In addition, there’s also an item known as the Waluigi Launcher, which is basically Waluigi turned into a functioning bazooka and was something that annoyed the real Waluigi when he found out about that. SMG4 and his Mario ended up encountering Waluigi at one point and thought it was the Waluigi they were used to, but found out otherwise. That didn’t prevent Waluigi from getting caught up in whatever hijinx the two find themselves in on occasion.
- Dick Dastardly and Muttley, another pair of devious schemers, went to Wario and Waluigi for advice on how to successfully cheat their way to victory. The latter two pointed out that despite wanting to cheat, they end up doing fairly well and even had a few victories whenever they’re playing by the rules and not drastically change anything to their favor. Dastardly pointed out how much he wanted to win regardless of skill. In spite (or maybe because) of that flaw, Wario and Waluigi have become two of Dastardly and Muttley’s most notable supporters, cheering for them whenever they’re in a race, and have recommended to use their skills as much as possible before the need to cheat takes over.
- Waluigi’s need to have the spotlight for himself has gotten himself in trouble with a few deities. He ended up setting up a massive stage event for himself to try and drum up attention, but was caught by Daffy Duck, who wasn’t all that amused to see someone set up an event and not have Daffy be a part of it. The duck responded by setting up an equally extravagant event for himself with the intent of trying to take Waluigi’s potential audience for himself. What followed was a ridiculous battle of trying to upstage the other and once all was said and done, their respective events not only didn’t go forward, but no one was there to watch them. The two have become sworn rivals since then and have tried to take the spotlight from each other whenever they meet again.
- A worse incident occurred when Waluigi went out to play some tennis with Wario and by the time he was done, Waluigi discovered that his temple was taken from him. Some time later, he discovered that someone known as Rafaam took it and tried to take his temple back from him. Rafaam ended up being too strong for Waluigi to handle and the purple prankster was forced to retreat and find a replacement temple. Rafaam’s tendency to take the spotlight for himself has annoyed Waluigi to no end and has sworn to match Rafaam’s skill someday so that he can have the spotlight all to himself no matter what.
- Being a prankster, Waluigi found himself involved with Trollkaiger’s shenanigans. At first, the group presented themselves as willing to welcome Waluigi’s brand of mayhem to the group, with Waluigi willing to join provided he gets most of the attention for himself. The group left him alone after their meeting to consider whether or not he can join the group and after some time, they decided to prepare something specifically for him. Waluigi was told to meet at a specific place, but was greeted with a nasty humiliation in the spotlight that ended with Trollkaiger rejecting his offer to join the group. Waluigi has remained bitter about the incident since then.
- A small number of those in the Pantheon believe that Waluigi has some sort of familial connection despite no official evidence existing. The aforementioned SMG4-verse posits that Waluigi and Wario are brothers, though both have stated that they’re very close friends and nothing more. There have also been a few claims that Eario, janitor of the Mushroom Kingdom, is the father of Waluigi, but many just laughed it off. While Waluigi doesn’t really have anything to say about that claim, he does treat Eario a lot nicer since both have been considered outcasts for how strange they are.

I think it's missing listing SMG4 and his Mario in Rivals and then i think he is all set
for Wah. Also, doesn't Joel love him as well?
Uni catfor Waluigi.

THE GOLDEN AGE WILL RETURN AGAIN!for Waluigi, I believe that Galactus may be in need of a tuneup. Looked at his profile and while it isn't bad, it's kind of underwhelming. I think it could be remade into something better. Plus recent issues suggest that he may need one, ditto for Norrin Radd the Silver Surfer.

@Waluigi, for what it's worth, I have down in Ashley's profile that Waluigi tried and failed to save her from Ridley and King K Rool as they humiliated her, only to get some respect for each other for just wanted to be treated seriously. Besides from that,
Time to rise and shine. Good morning!Have adopted Grimlock from Muundeis. They (I'm adding the other Dinobots) fit Animal Mecha because they are dinosaur robots with personalities to match, and have animal-shaped vehicle modes as well. They predate all the others like the Insecticons and Predacons.

- Followers: The Pigmask Army
- Allies: Giygas, Tabuu, Professor Hojo, Shou Tucker
- Rivals: Eric Cartman
- Enemies: Ness, Lucas, Mr. Saturn, Babe, Pantheonic Time Police, Luka, Alice, and frankly... everyone
- Porky Minch was just a boy growing up in Onett with his family and his neighbor, Ness and his family. One day, a meteor crashed into a hilltop and his life completely changed once he made contact with the Universal Cosmic Destroyer, Giygas. He became Giygas's biggest minion until his defeat at the hands of Ness and his friends, where he escaped in time until he began terrorizing Tazmily Island and ruined the life of one boy, Lucas.
- Because of his abuse of time traveling, he ended up becoming physically frail, blue-skinned, and immortal. As the result, he is seen most of the time resting on his spider walker for transportation. Even if he wasn't, he'd still be riding in it because he's fat.
- His final fate involves being trapped inside the Absolutely Safe Capsule for eternity as it is a one-way entry to ensure "absolute safeness." Considering that he hated everyone and his nihilism, he probably doesn't view it as A Fate Worse Than Death. However, it appears that Porky is not inside the Capsule.
- Appears to be affiliated with Taboo and the Subspace Army as one of its generals. He sent one of his King Statues to ambush Lucas in a ruined zoo until the untimely rescue of Ness, where he personally appears to fight the two psychic children. He was defeated, vowing to get back at those two.
- Oddly, he seem completely absent when Galeem tried to destroy the universe as he does not appear as a Spirit. It is believed that the Absolutely Safe Capsule ended up saving him from transforming into a Spirit, though the Capsule turn into a spirit itself...
- Greedy, obnoxious, and lustful for power and destruction, he is disgusted by some because of his pig motif. Babe certainly does not like him for not only being a terrible person but was also responsible for taking the life of a child's mother.
- He is currently wanted by the Time Police for his abuse of time travel which not only affected his body and morality, but also altering a separate world at a separate time to be much like his old world and time.
- Porky is still shown to love his mother, Lardna Minch, with robotic duplicates of her found working in the Beauty & Tasty restaurant in New Pork City, despite being as abusive as his father. However, seeing happiness of others, especially those with a mother, is likely to upset him.
- He is detested by animal lovers as his scientists in the Pigmask Army transformed the animals of Nowhere Island into chimeras, fusion of multiple creatures or mechanical creatures that are harmful to human life, of which Porky believes would be "better" than the peaceful animals. Porky found interest in some of the mad biologists in the Pantheon to "improve" some of the annoying animals in the Pantheon.
- Luka and Alice dislike him because of his science that led to the creation of grotesque creatures known as chimeras as weapons, just as what Promestein created.
Enemies with Gensokyo due to the events of Touhou Mother. Perhaps as a potential threat to its stability.

- In a place like Glitch City, it is imperative that you find your solace when you're spending your time there. It could be through hobbies, work, drinking, or just straight up prostitution. Rebecca Dorothy Willow Graem, more commonly known as Dorothy Haze by her friends and clients, is a Lilim sex worker working in the welcoming and lovely Glitch City. As far as clients go for Jill Stingray, she's one of the nicest and definitely one of the most cheerful out of all of VA-11 Hall-A's clients. This earnest and genki attitude even persists when topic about something raunchy like gangbangs or pranks involving mall santas, asking them to "make her a woman". As Jill put it best: Meeting her would make one realize that "innocent" and "kind" are two terms that can be completely unrelated.
- Her first action in the Pantheon was barging into VA-11 Hall-A and introducing herself in a way not too dissimilar from a sitcom, as usual for her. Dorothy just couldn't pass up coming back to the bar, and to Jill, and plans on doing so regularly before beginning her shifts like she did back in Glitch City, sometimes flirting with the other patrons. Compared to The Bartender, the Lilim sex worker took her ascension with a lot more stride.
- You may notice that this Lilim is a bit young looking. If asked she'll usually say "Old enough for anything you want!" but if one desires actual, quantifiable numbers then the DFC-72 models are designed to look around 10-13 years old while her mental age places her at 28 years of age. Though passing maturity tests would allow them to upgrade to an older body Dorothy refused on account that it would give her a niche to capitalize on. As for how many years she was since built she would be 7 years old. So, yeah... it's quite over the place, and it obviously raises quite the concern for a number of people. Dorothy doesn't mind though, as she apparently still finds business in the Pantheon both in the sexual and Platonic sense. Plus, she doesn't plan on being a prostitute forever. It turns out Dorothy likes kids and plans on taking up that factory upgrade by then to work with them someday.
- Dorothy is heavily modded for a DFC-72, mostly to compete with the more human-like models of Lilim. The most stand out feature is her ability to fire bullets from her fingertips as a means of self-defense. She's willing to cater to whatever fetish her clients bring up with the right mods (even the niche of invisibility!), however there are obviously some things she just won't do. Dorothy also has a policy stating that her clients be at least 40% organic, human from the neck up. For guys, the dicks should preferably be organic with some exceptions whereas for girls she's notably less strict. Anything That Moves at its finest.
Jill: Do you actually mind what anyone is?Dorothy: (smiling) Not at all.
- As a sex worker, artificial she may be, Dorothy was told to watch out for Jack the Ripper. While appreciative of the advice, she was skeptical as far as she knew wasn't Jack just some famous old fart from way back when? That was a yes and no type question, really. It should be noted though that all Lilim have their consciousness backed up on a server and that it will automatically be transferred to a newer body should they "die". As such, all Lilim have a difficult time grasping the idea of mortality and what it entails however they still fear it.
- In the Pantheon, a lot of people have said in the past that she reminds them of S.E.E.S' Aigis, if she was younger looking and moreso red. Dorothy eventually pushed for a chance to meet her while both of them were free and the Lilim found herself getting along quite well with the Anti-Shadow weapon. In particular, Dorothy is really impressed with all the armaments Aigis possesses at the ready.
Jill: Hey, you're not gonna—Dorothy: Oh relax, honey. I'm not actually going to stuff that many weapons inside of myself. I don't want to be heavy, and maintaining them all seems impractical. Plus, I have to make room for other mods, you know? Among other things...Jill ... Right, anyways...
- Gets incredibly aroused at even the mention of hacking and its terminologies. It's a kink all Lilim share according to her, one she believes you can make a good amount of money by capitalizing. This weirded out many of the Pantheon's technological experts and even the more villainous hackers in the Pantheon don't want to deal with that. Now, as far as specific personality quirks go her Absurd Phobia is being deathly afraid of dogs and chinchillas. The latter is especially absurd as chinchillas are extinct in her universe. But going back to dogs she didn't take the news of an entire House being full of them that well, the fact that there are dog deities outside of said house less so. Even the mention of dogs is a bit much as she'll charge clients extra for doggy style.
- At some point on her off days she encountered the duo, Doge and Walter. While the mere sight of dogs was enough for her to freak out it didn't help that Walter kept pestering her about fire trucks and monster trucks. Not helping Walter's case was his clear lack of ears and emotions, making him quite uncanny on top of that.
Dorothy: Pleaseleavemealoneyoucrazymangymutt.

While the mere sight of dogs was enough for her to freak out it didn't help that Walter kept pestering her about fire trucks and monster trucks. Not helping Walter's case was his clear lack of ears and emotions, making him quite uncanny on top of that.
- As with all Lilim, upon production she was assigned to a random volunteer to foster their growth in self-awareness. As fate would have it Dorothy would be assigned to Sophia Graem, a woman who had not too long ago lost her daughter, Anna Graem. She was an amazing person who had suffered a condition known as Nanomachine Rejection throughout her entire life and by the time she healed she got hit by a truck. While her guardian did her damndest not to see Dorothy as her Replacement Goldfish for Anna, it didn't stop Dorothy from harboring such fears anyway but she was moreso worried that her existence would depress her by reminding her of Anna. She'd eventually accept that she sees Sophia as her Mom, however.
- Upon hearing that Alan Turing was already a resident in the Pantheon through an offhand comment she immediately rushed over to meet the man himself and thank him. Just thank him, for everything. While Alan was a bit unsure what to think of Dorothy, being a sex worker and all, but came around. He was actually impressed the Lilim passed her Maturity tests set for all Lilim in a single year and that she's actually a bit knowledgeable on robot history as stuff like that helps her not take things for granted. That said, she believes Asimov's Three Law of Robotics are bullshit, though, and got abolished in her time for a reason. She gets that they're distilled versions 100 or so years in the making, but still.
- And speaking of robot history, it should be noted that one of the few perks Glitch City has going for it is the way they treat robotic lifeforms. Lilim there are granted full autonomy whereas areas outside of the city-state seem to have them live a lot harsher conditions. Thus, Dorothy gives her heart out to her peers who have experienced such treatments such as the various Omnics. That said, the sympathies are very limited when it comes to Null Sector. Wanting more rights is a noble thing to pursue, that's one step forward, but their attempting mass murder is a three-hundred steps back straight into a ravine. Just look at King's Row: It was a beacon of hope for coexistence, emphasis on was before they took a metaphorical sledgehammer and just ruined everything.
- That bit about her being the nicest of Jill's regular clientele in VA-11 Hall-A? That's not just referring to being one of the least problematic of her customers. When Jill was still reeling from hearing about Lenore's death her boss, Dana Zane, hired Dorothy for an entire hug night. The kicker here is that hug night's are one of her most expensive services due to taking up the entirety of her shift and when told of Jill's depression at that time she agreed but lowered it to about the price of a soda. In short, Dorothy stood by Jill's side and offered emotional support for the entire night at the cost of whatever money she could of made. She was sad that's all Dorothy needed to know and Jill was genuinely grateful for that. For example, she experienced sudden solipsism when her assigned guardian met with the mother of her deceased daughter's girlfriend who had also passed away at some point. Being moved by the two closing a long chapter in each other's lives then triggered an existential crisis in her, one Jill was able to get her out of when Dorothy came by to her bar.
- There exists an Alternate Universe where Glitch City would be payed a visit by the PMC, Griffon and Kryuger, sometime after the disbanding of the White Knights. During their stay, Dorothy came by VA-11 Hall-A with a T-Doll in tow named OTs-44. Due to technological incompatibilities, this merry and radiant doll ended up falling in love all sorts of random things. One of them included a telephone pole, and when O44 when on a tangent on all the... ahem, lovemaking she wanted to do with it even the Sexbot called TMI. In addition to the telephone she also fell head over heels for a movie trailer, and eventually Dorothy's name. No, not the Lilim herself, Dorothy saying her own name. Eventually, Dorothy had to escort the poor girl back to her Commander to explain the situation. She has met up with some of the other T-Dolls and made friends with them, and Dorothy is glad they adjusted better in the Pantheon.
- In another Alternate Universe, Dorothy was apparently a Prime Minister to a place called Griffon city. This had to do with the fact that this alternate universe was the product of a lightweight T-Doll getting so shitfaced alongside coming into contact with a nanomachine cloud. It was in danger of being destroyed, though luckily its inhabitants (which also consisted of Dorothy's friends and some other T-Dolls) would get their data extracted and put into T-Doll body replicas. At some point Dorothy was made aware of this and asked about her T-Doll duplicate. G36 and Contender were hesitant to comply in responding until Jill reminded them about the 40% organic policy.
- "Hey honey. Have you ever seen a Mega Santa gangbang?"
I don't know if this helps but North could become her high priest for the time being.
Retired effective March 1, 2022Baymax is a robot made as a doctor and is specialized in interacting with humans, it would be interesting for them to interact as their main purpose is to interact with humans and attend to their needs and wants, albeit in different ways.
THE GOLDEN AGE WILL RETURN AGAIN!I wonder if she would be interested in learning about religion. Zenyatta could probably enlightnen her about the Iris and teach that robot and humans should coexist and Dorothy is a good example of that, even if in a less SFW way. The big alliance of GUAM could probably interest her, even if they are mostly machine supremacist.
I am also considering mentioning the FNAF gang but don't know how
Uni catBaymax seems like he'd be utterly confused when it comes to sex
Got some restoration ideas for old gods. Anyone interested on approving and working on them?
- Gwynplaine, God of Perma-Smiles (House of Facial Attributes)-thanks to a mutilating deformity, Gwynplaine has a permanent Slasher Smile and Glasgow Grin. Unlike the Joker(who visually took notes from him), he's a good guy
- The Millennium Earl, God of Saying Things With Hearts (House of Speech, Chaotic Evil)-the Earl has a habit of saying things with hearts littered in the speech bubbles. In spite of being the Omnicidal Maniac Big Bad. Befitting of an Affably Evil Monster Clown, I'd suppose
- The Lord Of Nightmares, Goddess Of Wild Magic -source of the highly unpredictable and dangerous Chaos, her mind always follows her power
- Autocthon, Deified Ultimate Blacksmith -embodies the concept, having created the Exalted and many other great, mystic artifacts
Gwynplaine should logically take Glasgow Smile since the smile was cut into his face (and yes, you can give that trope to characters that aren't evil if you bother to read the description).
One thing I'd like to say about the crows from Dumbo: I heard that only ONE of them was actually a white guy, and that was the leader of the crows. The rest were played by actual African-American actors.
That's what I heard, at least.

- Unnerved by: Zone-tan
- 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.
- Some of them (if not most or even all of them) were interested to learn that there were timelines in which Dave brought different combinations of friends along, but no more than two. These timelines also saw different endings to the "meteor incident".
- 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.
- They were shocked to find there was another sentient, mind-controlling meteor in the Pantheon, and as Bernard pointed out to Wendy, "I don't think fame and fortune will be enough to dissuade this one..."
- 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!
- Zone-tan was amused to hear that they (especially Bernard, Hoagie, and most of all Laverne) had trouble with tentacles. They're afraid to meet her pet, or see her in her alternate form. They're further unnerved by her...interest in hearing about a record containing a tentacle mating call...
- Several BSAA members bonded with the kids over traversing a dangerous mansion and solving puzzles in it, and were glad to know said mansion wasn't nearly as hostile when Bernard returned with Hoagie and Laverne.
I only know of a few BSAA members, so I only linked two houses. Should I add links to more houses that members of the BSAA are in? And is there anything else I should change in or add to the profile?
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.Here is my first rough draft of the girls from A Place Further Than The Universe.

- These high-school girls met by chance due to one thing: Antartica. At first, these four girls want to go to Antartica for different reasons, but they eventually became True Companions throughout their journey and learn to enjoy Antarctica in their own way, realizing that going in a journey is important with your friends. Their friendship is what eventually led them to make a promise to have their own expedition in Antarctica.

Then the girls wonder if they are in Antarctica, which prompted Mumble to explain to the girls about the Pantheon (who were shock that they could talk). After some time passed, Mumble took a liking to them and recommended them to the Court of Gods if they could ascend. They eventually agree and their journey in the Pantheon has commenced.
- The first thing did they did (or Shirase rather as the girls follow her around) is meeting penguins in the Pantheon. They all took a liking for The Madagascar Penguins as they think they are cool action spies (specifically Private for how cute he is). They love that Sgt. Bryne is a soldier who fights for good and were amazed that he could fly. This is the same case with Rocko who can fly like Bryne and while they have a problem with Hubie’s Jerk attitude, they eventually warm up to him. They were amazed by the world Penta Penguin lived in (even if they were terrified by some of it) and listen to adventures. They also loved Penguin (specifically Yuzuki as they are both the Deadpan Snarker and the only woman of their respective groups), they eventually started to visit his cafe thanks to his advertising and started to warm up to his friends, Polar Bear, Panda, and Sasako.
- Having been bored as they want to have some fun in the Pantheon, they met Jack Frost who is playing with some children. After hearing suggestions of their games, Jack Frost decided to invite Elsa (who wanted to invite Anna and Olaf) and played a snowball-based baseball game in one of the winter grounds. This eventually got them to switch to other games and developing a bond with the quartet, with the girls being amazed by the powers that both Jack Frost and Elsa have displayed in front of them.
- Exclusive to Kimari:
- An ordinary high-school girl who is highly dependent on her childhood friend, Megumi, Kimari is desperate to look for something after realizing she didn’t do anything significant in her life. This is what caught her to join Shirase’s journey to go to Antarctica, she believes that going to somewhere impossible will achieve what she wanted in life.
- Exclusive to Shirase:
- The daughter of Takako Kobuchizawa, one of the members of the Antarctic Challenge Expedition Team, after finding out her mother is missing, she started going on jobs every day to have enough money to go to Antarctica, which she announced to the entire school. Her declaration causes her to get bullied and to have no friends because of how impossible it is, but this doesn’t stop Shirase from dropping out from her dream, in fact, it made her much more determined.
- Exclusive to Hinata:
- A convenience store worker, Hinata is a high-school dropout because she fears to be in crowded places and hates other people to become dependent on her. Despite being a dropout, she is an avid runner and very smart and wise, having achieved an A in a high-school entrance exam and a mock exam, which caused her to be able to apply to college. She wanted to join to Antarctica because she wanted to do something exciting before she started going to college.
- Her dropout story reveals there is much more to it than that, the star member of the track team of her school, she was asked to be their star player during their tournaments, however, because the third-year students were disappointed as it is their last year to participate, they started spreading bad rumors about her so much so that she is forced to dropout from school, forcing her to become independent and wise.
- While having a running exercise, she met Ryuji Sakamoto and the two have decided to challenge each other to see who wins first. Despite their personality differences, the two become friends because they share similar fates regarding of how their relationships with their track team went and how their experiences caused them to become independent for themselves. They have established their roles as friendly rivals whenever they challenge each other but their experiences caused them to become true friends, with Hinata promising to help Ryuji whenever he has problems.
- Exclusive to Yuzuki:
- Having been an actress since she was five, Yuzuki is desperate to look for friends because she isn’t in school often. Originally, she doesn’t want to go to Antarctica and is forced to do it because of her job as a celebrity. But when she met Kimari and the others, she’s finally convinced to join because they are the first friends that she ever had and tells her mother she’s only join if they joined too.
- During an autograph-signing for her followers, she met one of Pantheon’s ascended idol singers, Rise Kujikawa. They have bonded over their loneliness and desperation to have a friend because of their jobs and having no friends in school, finding happiness on their own jobs because their friends have convinced them to do so. The two have become great friends and collaborated to make new singles for their fans.

Just a sad, lonely girlMei used to work in one of the Ecopoints established by Overwatch in Antartica but unfortunately her team was hit with a strong snow storm and she was the Sole Survivor, having survived in cryostasis for 9 years before waking up in an unfamiliar world. She would totally relate to why the girls took the trip and would gladly join them if they decide to embark on another, acting as a guide of sorts
Uni cat@Rebecca, maybe something about the robotic couples Wall-E and Eve and Kosmo and Nova? She’s bound to be happy seeing other robots have capabilities to be romantic, although she would probably confuse them when asking about the possibility of children.
@Porky, The Masked Man/Claus is here, so that could be interesting.

Time to rise and shine. Good morning!H. P. Lovecraft once wrote about an expedition to Antartica, which involved giant penguins and Shoggoths living in Antartica. The Thing was also discovered in Antartica.

THE GOLDEN AGE WILL RETURN AGAIN!
I Am Not Throwing Away My Shot
These are who I plan on next for the big MLP rework.
As I've stated several hundred pages, we can find more examples for Names to Trust Immediately. Shining Goodness, not so much. Also, it's literally in his name. What more can you ask for?
I guess Apollo Justice will be getting a different trope.
Shining Armor, God of 'Shine' Names Pertaining to Benevolence (Twilight's B.B.B.F.F. (Big Brother Best Friend Forever), Captain of the Royal Guard, Prince/Emperor Shining Armor)
- As a knight and the Captain of the Guard, he was practically the leader of what is considered the entire military force in Equestria, protecting his kingdom and family. Even after becoming regent ruler of the Crystal Empire, the only thing that changed was who he was training.
Joined alongside several good knights, he has considered joining the GUAG Sacred Knights to find good allies.Princess Cadance, Goddess of Pink Princesses (Mi Amore Cadenza, Cadence, the Crystal Princess)
