Trope Pantheons Discussion

Go To

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

    Rules 
Rules. The following are not suggestions or tips, but things that have to be followed:
  • When writing a profile, take note of the following:
    • Gods cannot be followers or high priests for obvious reasons. The 'gods' have ascended meaning there is no need for said character to be a follower of another if they have ascended.
    • No hype profiles, please. 'Hype Profiles' are profiles that have been made out of ongoing events and have not been around for a long time. This creates 'hype' due to popularity and certain elements either through certain scenes, memes, dramatic acting or considered overly awesome. They are not bad tropes but building a portfolio solely for that is a bad idea, as they do not say a thing about representing the trope best (unless it's those trope concepts that they are trying to embody for a long time)
      • You can see one if the profile is only showing off how awesome they are or suddenly pushing how 'significant' they are thanks to the just very recent events rather than respecting the longstanding good representations of the trope. And usually having... minimum portfolio or flavor texts and being a bit too generalized or self-contained to events from within their home series instead of interacting with other Pantheon members.
  • When posting in the forum, take note of the following:
    • When you suggest a God, please explain why they fit the trope. Not everyone is going to understand just "X should be the God of Y because they exemplify the trope" off the bat, especially if they're unfamiliar with the work.
    • You must use the Trope Pantheons discussion thread in the forums if you wish to add a new deity, story, something else of importance to the Trope Pantheon canon, or reworking an existing deity (be it simply improving their existing profile or changing their title).
      • For new and reworked deities, 3 [tup] means the profile will have a one week waiting period.
      • For new and reworked deities, 4 [tup] is a 3 day waiting period.
      • 5 [tup] is an automatic ascension for new and reworked deities.
      • Speaking of reworks, for anyone that wants to improve such profiles, they have to review the current trope the character(s) has and see if it still holds up or if there is a better rep for their trope.
    • For adding new Treasures to The Great Treasury or new Dominions to the Dominions, the following rules apply:
      • For new Treasures or Dominions, 3 [tup] is a 3 day waiting period.
      • 4 [tup] is an automatic addition to the Great Treasury or Dominions.
    • Do not repost a profile in the forums more than twice in a day if noticeable changes have not been made in between. If a profile is posted a third time in a row without noticeable alterations, it will be downvoted. This is so spamming of no-effort profiles is less frequent and to prevent tropers from getting aggravated seeing the same profile over and over. The minimum acceptable change has to be a single flavour text.
    • The Pantheon is not a mouthpiece for you to voice your opinions on certain characters. You may like certain characters more than others, but do not make the mistake of making profiles for characters you like look like Character Shilling.
    • Tropers new to the Pantheon are barred from approving or downvoting profiles until they have ascended at least two profiles.
    • Do not include fan reception in any profiles. It has nothing to do with the character themselves and will create unnecessary conflict.
    • Write a detailed explanation on why the character is the best candidate for deity of that trope. If people disagree with you, do not force it on the people.
    • Keep in mind that if you still want to try to find a trope for a particular character, you are only given three chances to find a particular trope for them. If a suggestion goes past three possible tropes, then it will come off as shoehorning a character into the Pantheon just for the sake of that character to be there.
      • On a related note, even if a character does have a free trope being suggested, there is still a limit of three attempts for suggesting that character for that trope. If no one responds to that certain proposal after being posted three times, then it will get to the point where the idea will be seen as being shoehorned into the Pantheon. In addition, the idea needs to be considered acceptable and approved because they are good, not for the sake of pitying others because no one is responding to their idea.
  • When posting Pantheon related stuff to the wiki, take note of the following:
    • Do not put a link to these Pantheon pages into the main wiki page. The moment you want to add in a main Characters page that the character is a God of this trope, do not do it. If you see leftovers of this practice, inform the forum and use the cutlist. This also goes to the Trivia page. The only exception to this rule is if a page in the Pantheon could be confused for a page in Main, like Good Colors, Evil Colors and Good and Evil Colors.
    • Rule of Cautious Editing Judgment ALSO applies here. Do not bring things that would incite fights, even if it is what is currently the hot topic and might be 'urgent'. For example, the political scene and some really bad politicians. We are not here to fight at each other, so don't suggest things that go to that direction, this is a fictional Pantheon after all.
    • To add a Pantheon page for a certain work, 4 or more characters coming from the same series/franchise should be ascended before adding the page. For Creator specific pages, 4 deities coming from the same creator and 2 individual work pages coming from the same creator is the minimum to warrant a page.
    • Do not create a trope page for a story until the story is fully completed.

    Instructions and Tips 
Here are some tips one should keep in mind when editing:

  • Preparing to write:
    • First thing to do before present a profile is to go to the Trope Pantheons discussion thread. In the forums, you must discuss with other users on adding ideas and seek their approval with sound reasoning. You can also get some assistance in the forum thread by either asking for help and those interested asking if they can help. Submissions that are added without discussion are likely to be deleted and those who violate those rules by adding Pantheon content without discussion will get reported to the mods.
    • If you feel the need to remove a character for some reason (poor quality, outdated titles, etcetera) and replace him/her with another or outright rework, please see what the other tropers think about this in the discussion thread before doing anything hasty. Use good reasoning to see if your idea can easily replace the character present without drawing out your statement or giving too ambiguous claims most do not understand.
    • Please be sure to consult others in the discussion about what you want to work before making the profile. This is done to see if your proposal is the best representative and so, in case your profile is turned down, you do not waste time writing something that others might not find suitable.
      • In the same vein, if you adopt a profile from another troper, it is recommended that you make an announcement that you have done so on the discussion thread. More often than not, a trope that was reserved for something was given away to someone else. Check the Related tab on the top of a page to see if a trope or character has been reserved by a user.
    • If, for whatever reason, you are writing about a God who just happens to be a person in real life, just try to be very careful about what you decide to say. Do not try to make the editing seem too meta (self-referential) and use the aformentioned creativity to create hypothetical scenarios towards fictional characters.
  • When writing a profile for a character, here are a few things to note:
    • All deities should be sorted by their divine ranking. Put Overdeities on the top of the page and Quasideities on the bottom. Also be sure to add them in alphabetical order by their first/given name (can be reversed if it is Eastern ordered). For a group, if there is no official name for them all list down all their names by order of relevance or (if too long to list) title them as Insert Name Here Main Characters or some other identifiable title along the same lines.
    • The maximum number of tropes that a god can have is two, but do not try to abuse that fact. If you need to use a second trope to specify a certain thing about their position, that can be excused either because said character represents their trope choice very well alongside the first trope. It is still generally encouraged to only have one trope.
    • A trope can only belong to one profile at a time. The only time two profiles can share a trope is if there are explicit variations listed in the trope page proper (e.g. Muscle Angst is held by both Biscuit Krueger and Chihiro Fujisaki as the former represents "Too Much Muscle" and the latter represents "Not Enough Muscle")
    • If the character you are about to add to a House already exists in another, make sure to mention that this person has spots in other House as well. Up to 2 places can be made for a deity, with the sole exceptions being those at the Main House to highlight those characters’ importance to the Pantheon’s lore.
    • For a character's theme song, try to avoid calling it "Theme of God X" or "Theme of (Show where God X originates from)". If possible, try to find out if the song has an actual name through research. Most importantly, it has to be part their series’ official soundtracks from media. Do not list songs that are made by fans or outside sources. If they were not specifically used as music for that specific character, then they do not count. Furthermore, it has to be a general theme specifically made for that characters’ appearances, not some generic music that plays for many other instances not related to the character in question.
    • For images, when adding an image for your chosen character, it is highly recommended to use a stylized image that embodies the character or renders that also highlights a character’s behavior (such as cool poses). Most images should be from the main adaptations of the character, unless the images from the other media are of a higher quality than the adaptation. Unless it is needed, do not use fanart for images. If you are, please attribute to the original artist. Due to the website’s dark mode, removing white backgrounds from an image is paramount. This website is suggested to do the background removal. If an image you have takes up too much bytes, it is suggestible to use this site to reduce the byte size. If the byte is still too big, put the compressed image to other sites (or even the same one) to compress even further. Use wikias to look for better images, as even wikias for the series might not contain good official images.
    • Creativity is your friend. While it is not recommended to get too ditzy at your ideas, it is best that when writing a profile for a certain character, do you think of capable scenarios between X and Y. Tip: do not use shallow examples (X wields a sword and Y wields one too) and try to think of relationships that makes sense (i.e those characters that are shout-outs for another).
  • Pantheon Content:
    • Some series or genres will eventually have greater representation in the Pantheon than others. This is unavoidable, but a little diversity helps to make you not look like a shill per say. Try to ensure that if you add a deity from a popular series, make sure that it is because they are a good representative for the trope in question, and not just because they are connected to another deity in their respective canon.
      • As far as deities from actual mythologies, there is generally expectation to build the profiles off interactions from fictional portrays rather than basing it entire from the actual myth. Therefore, a mythological deity should be more of a Composite Character whose main identity is from the actual myth.
    • Occasionally there will be Gods that carry a title without a trope. This is not forbidden, but it is well advised not to abuse them. The only house that a tropeless profile are wholly allowed is the House of Food. Mainly due to most food items lacking tropes, and adding tropes about said foodstuffs is slightly unnecessary. However, the character being ascended for their choice of a food, or food-related thing must be a decently good representative of said item. (i.e their Trademark Favorite Food, or something that they are closely associated with In-Universe, or both).
    • For Dominions and Treasures profiles, always consider what made those places/objects popular in the first place. Were they plot-important, identifiable imagery or have a unique aspect of it? Do not just bring regular objects under the basis of following a certain canon.
  • For Profile Standards:
    • Flavor text is used to describe certain things about a character, place or object. To avoid short ones, it is recommended to write flavor text with 4-7 sentences that can fill around 2 lines each. Be warned that adding too many sentences does not equal good flavor text as it is not an essay of sorts (unless words are substantial and do add to the overall line).
    • Character Profiles of a certain person should have the following:
      • A portfolio that contains at least 7 (at the minimum) tropes describing their character.
      • Flavor text count for a deity profile should have by minimum, 10 (depending if the character in question has enough relationships/characterization) to 15 with a maximum of 20-25 for an individual profile.
      • On the other hand, group profiles (profiles of a group that has 4 or more members) have their maximum flavor text count to 15 minimum, giving individual lines for the other members of the group (unless the members are not as characterized) up to 30 at max.
    • Dominion profiles of a certain place should have the following:
      • A portfolio that contains at least 5 (at the minimum) tropes describing the context of the place.
      • Flavor text count should range at least 10 to 15.
    • Treasure profiles (inanimate objects without a trope) should have the following:
      • A portfolio that contains at least 6 (at the minimum) tropes that describes the object itself.
      • Flavor text count should be at least 7 flavor text up to 12 to constitute a treasure profile.

    Divine Ranking System 
  • Overdeity: Omnipotent-level Reality Warpers capable of manipulating the entire universe (or at least the world) at will. Within their own universe they are believed to be omnipotent, or at least impossible-to-completely-destroy embodiments or concepts.
  • Greater Gods: High-level Reality Warpers and that are extremely powerful (capable of destroying or changing anywhere from a large city to a planet at will) and very strong non-reality warpers capable of doing the same thing.
  • Intermediate Gods: Deities at this level are capable of strong but specialized powers such as hydrokinesis, pyrokinesis, etc. without major drawbacks and low level Reality Warpers capable of affecting their immediate area at will.
  • Lesser Gods: Capable of highly specific or little power on their own, or suffer from Power at a Price. However, they may be able to ruthlessly exploit their power or combine it with just being badass enough to make up for it.
  • Demigods: Basically the Badass Normals of the pantheon, making up for their lack of abilities with strength, strategy, and/or planning.
  • Quasideities: Any otherwise normal human, human equivalent, or below without any special powers or training will fall here.

    Templates 
Template for adding a new deity:

God X, God/dess of (Insert Trope Here) (Alternate names/Nicknames, Fan Nickname)

  • An image, if possible. Please use official art or a screenshot for a picture.
  • Rank: This can range from Quasideity, Demigod, Lesser God, Intermediate God, Greater God, to Overdeity, based on representation of power mentioned above.
  • Symbol: An image or icon used to represent the deity.
  • Theme Song: Official song (in other words, no fan music, regardless of quality) that usually is used in affiliation with the character. If the deity is a musician this will most likely be their Signature Song. If possible, give a link for reference, preferably on either a website like Soundcloud or YouTube.
  • Alignment: Good, evil, neutral etc. Forget about The Great Character Alignment Debate here, the Pantheon is one of the few places where you can assign Dungeons & Dragons alignment to characters that don't have alignment system. After all, the Pantheon is based on D&D and is made for fun.
  • For Pokémon deities only:
    • Gender: Defines the gender of the Pokémon; if genderless, it instead defines what gender they identify as.
    • Ability: Provides the Pokémon's ability. If they can Mega Evolve, the new ability is listed as well.
    • Moves: Defines the four moves used by a Pokémon. A Z-Move may also be listed.
  • Portfolio: Tropes associated with the character.
  • Domains: Things that the character has influence over.
  • Herald: Non-ascended loyal character that is from the same series as the ascended character.
  • High Priest: Non-ascended like heralds, but not from the same series, and can serve as a worthy replacement in case something would happen. They can be served as part-time workers in case the originals are busy with some jobs. Co-Godhood is accepted depending on the approval of the originals, usually if the co-deity is from the same series.
  • Followers: Non-ascended characters that are not part of the Pantheon, but would probably worship this character by the fact that they share the ascended character's trope.
  • Relationships between ascended characters go here with your chosen character, it goes something like this:
    • Allies: Members of the Pantheon that are allies, those that share the same values as them and would theoretically be friends with them.
    • Rivals: Members of the Pantheon that are rivals, people who may look at your character with suspicion or a challenge.
    • Enemies: Members of the Pantheon that are foes, those who would see your chosen character as a threat, either on their pespective or yours.
    • Additional Character Relationships: Members of the Pantheon that do not fit in various relationships (examples include Enemy Mine, Vitriolic Best Buds, Teeth-Clenched Teamwork, Headbutting Heroes, Friendly Enemy, Friendly Rival, Just Friends, etc.), allies, rivals, or enemies.
    • Partner: Defines a partnership with an ascended deity and Mon-type. (if any)
    • Feared by/Fears: A deity whom the members of the Pantheon notably fear or are feared by.
    • Respected by/Respects: A deity whom the members of the Pantheon respect or are respected by.
    • Opposed by/Opposes: Not necessarily the same as "Enemies", but this is used for any deity whom the members of the Pantheon directly opposes or is opposed by (basically the opposite of "Respects") terms of certain viewpoints, regardless of alignment.
    • Pitied by/Pities: A deity whom the members of the Pantheon feel pity for or are found pitiable by.
    • Conflicting Opinion: Sometimes, the Deities argue over specific themes and philosophies.
  • Add the Intro. The intro is made up of two trivia, the Ascension Text (or just the Ascension) and The Bio. Both are necessary, but which order you use for them may vary depending on the profile in question. It may be better for one profile to have The Bio first and the Ascension second or vice-versa, although for the most part the order is irrelevant:
    • The Ascension Text: This the story of how the character got into the Pantheon and/or was ascended. There are many ways for this to happen. They may be tricked into it or have simply wandered into the Pantheon, they may have had an already ascended character bring them in, they may already be in the Pantheon (via being another deity's Herald or sharing a trope) and got "promoted", or some combination of the above. Anything is possible in the Pantheon, so use your imagination, but try to incorporate their trope into the story, if possible.
    • The Bio: A brief synopsis on the character's backstory. No need for the character's entire life/production history, but just give enough that those who don't know the character can get an idea of how the character works.
  • Now add some random trivia/facts about events/alignments/moments/fights/friendships/relations etc.
  • And some more trivia/facts.
  • And a couple of more.
    • Note: Standard amount of flavor text for Deities/Characters is 10-15 (15-20 for group profiles) at minimum to 20-25 (30 for group profiles) at maximum.

Template for Dominions profiles:

Place X, Place of (Insert Trope Here) (Alternate names/Nicknames, Fan Nickname)

  • An image, if possible. Please use official art or a screenshot for a picture.
  • Theme Song (Optional): Not important as compared to Deity and Dominion profiles but a notable mention if there is an accompanying song in use with the object.
  • Alignment: Refers to the dominion's role in their story, be it those used by villains or used by the Player Character.
  • Portfolio: Tropes associated with the dominion.
  • Domains: Things that the place has links to.
  • Relationships (Optional): Unless the location has a connection with a specific deity, relationships are optional and may not be required. However, if there are deities linked to the same series as where the dominion is linked to, note them using the relationships, this includes deities that theoretically have interest with said dominion, good or evil otherwise.
  • Add the Intro. Here the introduction of the Dominion is added with some tidbits regarding the origins of its' creation and usage in the story. You can also add what made it popular/iconic/important here.
  • Now add some random trivia/facts about events/alignments/moments/fights/friendships/relations etc.
  • And some more trivia/facts.
  • And a couple of more.
    • Note: Standard amount of flavor text for Dominions is 10 at minimum to 15 at maximum.

Template for Treasure profiles:

The name of the item in here (Alternate names/Nicknames, Fan Nickname)

  • An image, if possible. Please use official art or a screenshot for a picture.
  • Appearance: A shortened description of the item's looks with some notable features also mentioned.
  • Class: Refer to the Treasure Classification System in the Great Treasury.
  • Alignment: Refers to the objects' role in their story, be it those used by villains or used by the Player Character.
  • Theme Song (Optional): Not important as compared to Deity and Dominion profiles but a notable mention if there is an accompanying song in use with the object.
  • Museum Check: A note that says whether the item is viewable by the public.
  • Portfolio: Tropes associated with the item.
  • Domains: Things that the item has links to.
  • Relationships (Optional): Unless the item has a connection with a specific deity, relationships are optional and may not be required. However, if there are deities linked to the same series as where the item is linked to (especially the original owner of the item), note them using the relationships, this includes deities that theoretically have interest with said object, good or evil otherwise.
  • Add the Intro. Here the introduction of the Treasure is added with some tidbits regarding the origins of its' creation and usage in the story. You can also add what made it popular/iconic/important here.
  • Now add some random trivia/facts about events/alignments/moments/fights/friendships/relations etc.
  • And some more trivia/facts.
  • And a couple of more.
    • Note: Standard amount of flavor text for Treasures is 7 at minimum to 12 at maximum.

If we're having such a hard time with Shoya and Shoko's trope, perhaps we can just give them Maybe Ever After? I don't believe it's taken, and we never do find out for sure whether they get together in the end.

A thought occurred, i wonder if the Nergigante would try to fight Galakrond. It would probably lose horribly but i need some insight to see if the interaction has some merit.

  • Millenia ago, Azeroth was a world were life has just started to flourish after the Pantheon had defeated the Old Gods. Proto-dragons, the distant ascenstors of dragonkind, were one of several creatures living in the planet but one would rise above all others and terrorize his kind to no end. Galakrond the Dragonlord and Progenitor of Dragon-kind was infamous among Proto-dragons for his ferocious apetite and massive size, he would devour anything in his path and no one could oppose him. Until five proto-dragons banded together and fought him with all their might, Galakrond would meet his demise and the 5 brave souls would become the Dragon Aspects. But fate would have more plans for Galakrond, after all there was a new group seeking to resurrect the massive draconid and they succeeded in bringing him into the pantheon after recovering the essential material from Uldum.
  • Galakrond was summoned into the pantheon by the League of E.V.I.L. and the dragonlord was as hungry as he was in the past, feasting on anything that came across his path. Eventually, the combined might of several GUAG members and other involved parties managed to subdue the dragon enough to be able to drive him away and stop his rampage, but considering what transpired, Galakrond was here to stay. The reason? The League of E.V.I.L. cleverly stole one of the several unused titles (Thanks to Rafaam's habit to break the fourth wall) and used it to summon the Dragonlord to the pantheon as an official deity.
  • Galakrond is easily one of the largest dragons in the pantheon, only second to Io himself and he is also one of the few that can challenge him to a fight and prove his worth. Io has grown a begrudging respect for Galakrond considering he is a pretty ancient dragon and also like him a progenitor but his brutish tendency to devour everything tends to get on his nerves, especially because the Dragonlord has actively tried to eat him, possibly in order to raise him as a Dracolich.
  • When asked about his awakening, accounts of the events tend to differ. In one version, Rafaam succesfully raised him from the death, defeated the League of Explorers and went on too lay waste to all of Azeroth, destroying the Alliance and Horde in the process before betraying Rafaam and ultimately losing to him. On another account, him and Rafaam were ultimately defeated by the Explorers spearheaded by Reno Jackson whose exposure to Dalaran and Galakrond's presence ultimately revealed his true nature as a blue dragon. While nobody sure what version is true, Galakrond is a bit annoyed but willing to work with the League of E.V.I.L. once more. He does however want to eat Rafaam for being loud and annoying.
  • It is said that the Dragonlord's hunger is unmatched, and he will consume everything, even his own kin, to satiate his hunger. Many have compared Galakrond to Deviljho if it actually was an Elder Dragon and even bigger, but the ur-dragon scoffs at the comparison, considering the mindless beast to be below his notice.
    • The one monster Galakrond does respect is the Fatalis, an Elder Dragon that is considered one of the most dangerous of its realm and the infamy of the Fatalis is comparable to the Dragonlord's. The alliance between the two was formed out of convenience, since the two share common enemies but once everything is taken care of, they wouldn't hesitate to strike the other one. The Monster Hunters have tried their best to strike down Galakrond following the news of Galakrond's arrival but he proved way beyond their league and his sheer destructive power make other Elder Dragons look like chumps in comparison.

[up]Galakrond would probably be enemies with just about every Fire Emblem character who fights a Dragon, like Marth, Alm/Celica, etc. Theres also Tiki, who is the god of Dragons Are Divine.

Also, whats his views on characters like Daenerys Targaryen, Arthas Menethil, and Dragon Hunters like Siegfried, Saint George and Martha, etc?

Just a progress update on the Hundred Acre-Wood group rework.

It's still unfinished and there's a lot that needs to be added, including what interactions can be put on the placeholder text (yes, I'm trying that out to see how it goes) and other suggestions in general.

The Denizens of the Hundred-Acre Woodmembers , Patron Saints of Works Appealing Beyond Their Intended Demographic

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/the_many_adventures_of_winnie_the_pooh_characters.png
Left to Right: Owl, Christopher Robin, Kanga & Roo, Tigger, Eeyore, Pooh, Piglet, Rabbit
  • Demideities
  • Symbol: A "hunny" pot
  • Theme Music: Winnie the Pooh; He’s Pooh Bear (The New Adventures of Winnie the Pooh Theme Song)
  • Alignment: Neutral Good overall
  • Portfolio: Ensemble Cast, True Companions
  • Domains: Life, Adventure
  • Herald: Gopher
  • Allies: Sora, Mole, Rat, Badger, & Toad, Polar Bear Cafe, Calvin & Hobbes
  • Hated by: Napoleon, Grand Duke of Owls
  • Deep in the Hundred-Acre Wood, where Christopher Robin plays...you'll find in the enchanted neighborhood, of Christopher's childhood days. More to the point, the Hundred-Acre Wood is where Christopher Robin has his many adventures with his stuffed animal friends consisting of Winnie the Pooh, Piglet, Tigger, Rabbit, Eeyore, Owl, Kanga, and Roo. Although the original books were intended to appeal to a very young audience, the characters have managed to secure a following well older than their intended audience. It helps that they have received a bevy of animated adventures, beginning with some short films produced by Walt Disney, and having additional stories well after that.
  • As Pooh was getting ready to go about on his day, he found a door in front of a tree that he hadn't seen before. After a bit of musing to himself, he decided to see where that door would lead him to. After Pooh opened that door and walked through he, the bear managed to find himself in a place far removed from the peaceful serenity of the Hundred Acre Wood. He was very curious about what it was, and a short while later, he managed to find Christopher Robin in that place as well. Christopher Robin told Pooh that he and his friends would always find an adventure in unlikely places, including those beyond that of the Hundred Acre Wood. Pooh, Christopher Robin, and their friends have since accepted that this tree will be a gateway between the Hundred Acre Wood and the Pantheon, where others can visit them during the Pantheon's more quiet days.
  • The Hundred-Acre Wood was among the various destinations that Sora has visited during his travels. Unlike many of the places he has gone to, there hasn't been any real threats targeting the Hundred-Acre Wood, with most of the problems occurring there being minor personal problems pertaining to Pooh and his friends (and the only thing that resembled a significant event that occurred there was Pooh suffering from amnesia as a result of The Heartless attempting to attack the place and some pages getting torn in the process). Whenever he isn't busy on a major adventure, Sora sometimes visits Pooh and friends to check up on how they're doing and to simply relax.
  • Pooh ended up finding a cafe run by some animals and a human friend and became a regular customer, thanks to Polar Bear allowing Pooh to have some honey and becoming friends with him. Polar Bear noticed that Pooh’s personality is similar to that of Panda and Pooh has also taken a liking towards the other members of Polar Bear Cafe. The cafe members have also taken a liking towards The Hundred Acre Wood location that Pooh has talked to them about and are interested in seeing them come over to the cafe whenever possible, with Christopher Robin in particular curious about that cafe.
  • The Wild Wood quartet knew about Pooh when the latter got lost in that place while searching for honey and Badger found him and was able to prevent anything bad from happening to him. Mole and Rat helped Badger get Pooh back to the Hundred Acre-Wood and from there, they met Pooh’s friends and learned about the place, the news of which eventually reached Toad. Since then, both groups have had their share of adventures at the other’s respective location and they enjoy each other’s company, even if the Wild Wood is different from the Hundred Acre-Wood in a number of ways.
  • One unlikely topic that comes up in relation to the group is baseball, especially after a few claimed that the group makes the sport look more intense than normal. According to them, it’s because some of those denizens are capable of making impossible baseball pitches and Pooh bear is able to (mostly) land good hits with them. While Pooh and his friends are willing to have some baseball games from time to time, it became clear that their games are nowhere near as insane as what’s been described. There have been attempts by some at making rumors related to those baseball games, but those get refuted easily.
    • Speaking of sports, Calvin and Hobbes ended up watching one of the Hundred Acre-Wood gang’s baseball games and wanted to see if that group would be interested in the games the pair plays. After heading to the Hundred Acre-Wood, Calvin and Hobbes met Christopher Robin and Pooh and asked them if they were interested in tagging along with them. During that time, Calvin and Hobbes introduced the pair to a game involving rules made up as the game progresses, which just so happened to be Calvinball. It took time for Pooh to understand how Calvinball works, but he found the activity to be fun and he and Christopher Robin sometimes play with Calvin and Hobbes whenever the latter two are visiting. Tigger sometimes talks to Hobbes whenever he can and Rabbit believes that Calvin is too mischievous for his liking.
  • Although Pooh and co. aren't really the types of deities to make any lasting enemies, there have been a few that have harbored a strong hatred towards the group. Among them include Napoleon, a tyrannical pig that firmly believes in animal superiority and is more than willing to eliminate those that oppose him. The thought of a place where animals and humans can coexist without much conflict such as the Hundred-Acre Wood was something that disgusted Napoleon and he wanted that place and its residents gone entirely. On a potential darker note, Napoleon has even considered taking over the place once he’s driven its residents out as a means to increase his political power further. None of the Hundred-Acre Wood denizens have anything positive to say about Napoleon, with Piglet and Rabbit specifically having a more pronounced dislike of Napoleon compared to the others.
  • Winnie the Pooh, or Pooh for short, is a bear of very little brain and more or less the central figure of the Hundred Acre-Wood. He really likes honey and has pots of them at his home. While he is very much naive for the most part, he does have moments of brilliance every so often.
    • (easy-going, but dim-witted deities)
    • (bears)
    • Pooh really likes honey (or “hunny”) and sometimes can’t think of anything other than that. He has made attempts to climb up honey trees in the Pantheon to get some hunny, though some didn’t end well as a result of encountering bees. One of his climbs resulted in him meeting Barry B. Benson, someone who is friendly for a bee. While Barry attempted to sue the human race for stealing honey, he realized the error of that once the consequences of such became apparent. Barry was also far more friendly (and different overall) compared to the other bees that Pooh has encountered. While Barry’s misguided crusade resulted in a Pooh Bear lookalike getting a tranquilizer dart to his body, the real Pooh hasn’t made a big deal out of that and Barry is willing to have civil conversations with Pooh whenever possible.
  • Christopher Robin is very much the only human within the Hundred-Acre Wood that Pooh and co. hang out with...and also the only human within that setting in general. He’s a generally chipper child and helps out Pooh and the others with whatever they need, effectively making him a leader of sorts for the group.
    • (other children)
    • He is more than aware of the fact that he’ll eventually grow up, something that actually did happen at some point. During that time, he met the Pooh and his Hundred Acre-Wood friends once more and not only reconnected with them, but it helped him get out of a tight spot in his job and reconnect with his own family as well.
  • Piglet happens to be Pooh's best friend and is very timid, especially when it comes to things that he perceives to be dangerous. By default, his timidness makes it easy for him to get coerced into doing something the rest of the Hundred-Acre Wood gang wants, but he’s able to put up a brave act if pushed far enough.
    • (deities that are timid, but can stand up for themselves at times)
    • While Piglet shares his friends’ dislike of Napoleon, he (and the others to an extent) is willing to befriend other pigs that may reside in the Pantheon. Babe, a friendly farm animal, was someone whom Piglet was interested in talking to and given how Babe was able to have a successful adventure in a city in addition to doing well in a farm, Piglet quickly became friends with him and both have talked to each other about anything interesting that has happened to them lately.
  • It's not much of a stretch to say that Tigger is easily the most hyperactive member of the Hundred-Acre Wood ensemble. Tigger has a springy tail and greets others by pouncing on them and spelling his name as T-I-Double-Guh-Er.
    • (energetic and bouncy deities)
  • Given how eccentric this group of characters are, Rabbit would be the one that's sane in comparison and even then, he's prone to acting just as strangely as the others. While he makes the effort to present himself as a stern figure, misfortune befalls him on a regular basis, and even if he’s a grouch, he still cares about the others even if their antics come off as annoying to him.
    • (finicky deities)
    • (rabbits)
  • Eeyore is very glum and doesn't really look on the bright side all that much. Besides his perpetual pessimism, he also has a detachable tail that's sometimes prone to going missing.
    • (deities with glum personality)
    • Shrek’s friend Donkey has been looking for another member of his kind to hang out with for a while and Eeyore seemed to be someone that Donkey can hang out with whenever possible. Of course, Donkey is much more energetic compared to the downbeat Eeyore, though Eeyore has less issues with being around Donkey than some originally thought. It’s likely because Donkey’s personality is similar to that of Tigger and Eeyore is used to hanging around with characters like him (that and Tigger is already good friends with Donkey).
  • Owl plays the role as the elder within the Hundred-Acre Wood group and he fancies himself as someone with quite a bit of knowledge on whatever is happening to the group. While the Pooh and his friends look up to him as a beacon of knowledge, it's clear that he's not as smart as he claims to be, with some of his words resulting in the rest of the group getting into what amounts to a wild goose chase.
    • Within the Pantheon, there aren’t many deities who are willing to listen to Owl’s long-winded tangents with the Warner Siblings among them, though they consider him to be at least more tolerable compared to Pip Pumphandle, if only because Owl doesn’t follow them around. That said, there are a few other deities with a similar talkative mindset that Owl has befriended and hangs out with whenever his regular friends are out doing their own thing. He’s among those who has his full attention whenever Abe Simpson is going on with his rambling, but it’s Kaepora Gaebora that Owl is willing to listen to by virtue of being an owl just like Owl. If it’s any consolation for anyone else, at the very least Owl doesn’t ask others if he wants to repeat what he just said unlike Kaepora.
    • Besides Kaepora, there were a few other owls not within Owl’s family tree that got his attention. While Decidueye has a serious demeanor and isn’t exactly the kind of bird who’d be engaged with long talks, the Pokemon does visit the Hundred Acre-Wood every so often and Owl enjoys its company. However, he (and the rest of his friends by extension) would rather not have anything to do with the Grand Duke of Owls. The idea of an endless night is something they don’t want to deal with (and Piglet in particular was terrified of the mere idea of such), though the Grand Duke really doesn’t care about them so long as this endless night occurs to his liking.
  • Kanga and little Roo are a mother and son duo who are usually seen together, though Roo has been known to go on a few adventures of his own. Kanga has a motherly role not just to Roo, but to the other Hundred-Acre Wood folks. Roo is an energetic child that hangs out with Tigger quite a bit and looks up to him.
    • (Kanga’s motherly personality)
    • (Roo and deities with others who they look up to)

@Keyblade Arthas is from Azeroth, so he is an enemy for not being aligned with him

[up][up] You know, i'm tempted to say that Bend Will will NOT work on Galakrond given how ancient he is. He is not really a dragon but a precursor dragon.

Is that too much shilling?

I am personally annoyed that such discussion has been repeated more than twice considering the general consensus, and even more insulting that I was asking for suggestions and/or approvals and this is what I was greeted with.

I will not post the profile again but are there any more suggestions/approvals worth picking up?
