New profile. Here is this Mechanical Abomination, he tends to be pretty hungry and won't stop until he catches his space prey.

In short: BEWARE, HE LIVES!

BEWARE, I LIVE!

• Sinistar, a legendary being from the cosmos who terrorized anyone that came accross him and once revived he would not stop until his hunger was satiated. Notorious for taunting his prey, calling them cowards and roaring until he either catches them or dies trying. It was only natural that such an infamous figure would eventually enter the Pantheon but no one expected him to acquire this position.
• It was a regular day like any other but several deities from the House of Time And Space reported seeing pixelated spaceships collecting a mysterious crystals, which turned out to be Sinisite and when the authorities found out it was too late, his voice echoed through the Pantheon and everyone knew they were up for a nasty surprise, for as Sinistar would say: "BEWARE, I LIVE!".
• "I AM SINISTAR!"

Wonder where these two go. Thinking Theatric Production but What Could Have Been more or less applies to everything

• Conflicting Opinion: Anakin Skywalker/Darth Vader, Galen Marek
• In an Alternate Universe where George Lucas did not edit the rough draft of the A New Hope, the galaxy that is far, far away supposedly looked a lot different than everyone would knows it as. First off, everybody had a lightsaber, red ones at that. Jedi were the Jedi-Bendu, royal guards for the emperor until they were hunted down by the new one. All tech looked a lot more shiny than usual. People rode ostrich aliens as horses. And Palpatine looked a lot more less ugly. All of this a far cry of the universe that we all know and love. But a What If? scenario occurred if this supposed universe was made. Representing all things that could have been but didn’t make the cut, Annikkin Starkiller and General Luke Skywalker ascended to the Pantheon.
• Their presence caused much confusion, none more confused than themselves. What do you mean there is already a Luke Skywalker and Anakin? Han Solo isn’t human! He’s supposed to be a green alien from what they know. Lots of questions ran through their heads especially after meeting the actual people who participated in the actually Star Wars. Upon seeing that despite the strange differences between them, they realized they are Not So Different, sharing the same enemies and ideals for peace. So Annikin and General Skywalker have decided to do what they believe is just and fight alongside the Jedi against the Sith.
• If it isn’t obvious enough, they are a strange pariah in the Pantheon. They don’t even have The Force everyone traditionally knows of (they call it the Force of Others, which doesn’t give them powers). They make up for it by being very skilled warriors in their own right to the point they make up their lack of Force powers with whole new ones like making a freaking after-image after running so fast. There’s probably more powers hiding behind them but they aren’t showing them anytime soon.
• Considering that they had to face The Empire, they don’t mesh well with other tyrannical figures, not just the old guy who shoots lightning. Due to these conflicts, they have allied themselves with the GUAG.
• It’s really hard to get a read on these two without repeating the same points that their counterparts have. Annikkin is obviously what Luke Skywalker would be while the General Skywalker is Obi-Wan if he was still leading a military force.
• Hoo boy, their feelings against Darth Vader or Anakin Skywalker if you’d prefer are very much spiteful to say the least. The Darth Vader they knew was a Complete Monster who’d kill anyone who stands with his way with ruthlessness that surpassed even the Emperor’s. They do not trust the Darth Vader here for these very reasons even if he did reform, not thinking that all of the goodness he’s trying to do now makes up for all the slaughtering Vader has done in his time serving as an Imperial.
• Another mixed bag of a Sith they don’t get along with his Galen Marek, otherwise known as Starkiller. As Galen uses the Dark Side despite using them for noble acts, they feel that Galen is tipping at the edge of total villainy. They would likely have a better relationship with his clone though.
• Exclusive to General Skywalker:
  • Being the Jedi-Bendu master of Annikkin, Skywalker is drawn to military leaders who fight for the good of others. Notable is allies with Commander Shepard, Bright Noa, and Cornelia vi Brittania (after she grew a conscious for the welfare of the people). They notable convene together in hopes of sharing inspiration for the good fight ahead of them.
  • Regarded as the second-best Jedi, only bested by Kane Starkiller, Annikkin’s father who is a Cyborg. He has at lot more experience in warfare than even most Jedi as Jedi-Bendu were famous for being bodyguards to the prior emperors before being branded as fugitives. Skywalker won’t take a command post, tired of war by this point and wanting to play peacekeeper. Though if the situation should arise, he’s more than happy to go back into battle for innocents’ sake.
  • Would like to be regarded as General Skywalker, as to not confuse anyone with the Luke Skywalker everyone knows of. Speaking of which, Luke wonders if the general is what he would have become if the war against Palpatine still continued or worse, if he had not sent himself into exile to fight against the First Order.
  • Has nothing good to say about Gihren Zabi for his Colony Drop on Earth. Gihren would like to point out that like the Jedi-Bendu, the spacenoids are fighting for freedom themselves as well against The Federation that does not recognize them. Skywalker pointed out it stopped being about a war for freedom when he put civilians in the crossfire. He summed it up as a Full-Circle Revolution where Zeon can impose a system of oppression under the guise of the betterment of spacenoids.
  • Considering that he is fighting against what the Jedi-Bendu were supposed to protect, he finds a bit of fair ground with Jaime Lannister who had taken down the tyrant that was his king. While Skywalker won’t overlook Jaime’s actions to call himself a friend, they do get into good sparring matches now and again for the sake of it.
• Exclusive to Annikkin Starkiller:
  • Annikkin is the son of the aforementioned strongest Jedi-Bendu, Kane Starkiller and is the Padawan of Skywalker. Being a rookie when it comes to fighting, Annikkin displayed natural talent when it comes to combat, surely getting stronger in due time. He is willing to help anyone being oppressed by evil forces, whether he thinks it through or not.
  • Finds kinship with other rookies who shave more or less an inexperienced worldview. Tries to learn from them as well to apply lessons to his daily training.
  • Sees Kamen Rider Gaim a real Hope Bringer that perhaps Annikkin should take his lessons from. Kouta is flattered, though really implores Annikkin to look for other teachers besides him.
  • Has also commonality with Flynn of all people. He had once tried dueling with the samurai, but lost almost instantly. Annikkin looks up to Flynn now and hopes that perhaps he can learn the ways of the samurai, which is much similar to that of the Jedi-Bendu.
  • Yes, he pretty much shares the name with the one who killed his brother, just spelled much more complexly. Annikkin finds it disturbing that Anakin in his youth acted much like his younger brother. He tries to forget it, clouding these thoughts with disdain for Vader.
  • Managed to get into a rivalry with Maul over if the Sith could see if the Jedi-Bendu could match against his power. Thanks to being inexperience, Annikkin lost and the youth wants to face Maul yet again to reclaim victory. If only he can find Maul first...

Theatric Production sounds fine to me. to beta Star Wars

for both

• Uneasy Relationship: Victor Frankenstein and his Monster (The original iteration only, Berserker of Black is an ally due to being Caules's Servant), Lelouch Lamperouge
• Ceasefire Towards: Amakusa Shirou (Kotomine) Tokisada, Achilles, Atalanta, Karna
• As two of the representing masters of the Black Faction, Fiore and Caules were preset to engage in battle against the Red Faction over who gets to claim the Holy Grail and grant their own wishes. In the initial phases of the Great Holy Grail War, Fiore and Caules had Chiron (Rider) and Frankenstein's Monster (Berserker) respectively as their Servants and held their own in battle. That is, until Berserker of Black sacrificed herself battling against Saber of Red and the Black Faction leader, Darnic Prestone was killed by Shirou Amakusa. Being the Magus with the best magical capabilities, Fiore was promoted to be the leader, a position that proved stressful and not one of her preference, despite her great talent and relationship with Chiron. Nearing the end of the war, Fiore sacrificed her family crest magus powers to give leadership to Caules, who would go on to secure victory for the Black Faction, despite the loss of their servants sans Astolfo.
  • In the aftermath, Caules was admitted into Norwich to further continue his magical training, now that he is the head of the Yggdmillennia clan. Fiore was slowly able to recover and regain her ability to walk, though she is currently undertaking physical therapy and aid with the Black Faction's homunculi, in addition to moving to New York.
• Initially, Caules and Fiore were not interested in continuing with their magical training, even with Caules's admission to Norwich. Still, they were invited to join the Pantheon after receiving an invitation from the Master of Chaldea. Caules was fine with becoming a part of a new world, but asserted that his older sister come along with him too. His wishes were accepted, for Fiore was content with Caules's decision. They did express their surprise on how odd and mystical the Pantheon was, but were able to quickly able to adapt thanks to a few faces that they were familiar with.
• Due to being the current head of Yggdmillennia, Caules is expected to further practice and better his use of magic. Thankfully, with the abundance and potential of magical deities and elements around the Pantheon, it seems the young master has a lot of opportunities to go through. Fiore however is a Quasideity. This is because of giving up her magus position to Caules, thus also relinquishing her magical powers. Not that she doesn't mind as this is what eventually allowed her to regain the ability to move without wheelchair assistance. It's also one of the very rare instances where being depowered ended up being more beneficial. Though she currently uses a walking stick for support for the time being.
• One of the first deities they came across was Chiron, Fiore's servant, who was humbled and happy to see his master ascend. Furthermore, he was accepting of the new life that Fiore chose to pursue and Chiron has asserted that he will always be supportive of her actions. That is not to say he wouldn't be around for her, given that their partnership was a very effective and understanding one. As a result, an enemy of Fiore is also an enemy towards Chiron.
  • They were also soon reunited with Sieg, Jeanne, Astolfo, Siegfried and Vlad III, the latter two of whom were pleased to see that the Black Faction managed to win the Grail War and expressed their wishes and luck to the siblings. That said, the fact that there are a whole new slew of servants and masters means that they'll have a lot more to interact with than just the servants that they're familiar with.
  • No longer at war against each other, they're currently under a ceasefire with the ascended members of the Red Faction. It also helps in that Chiron and Achilles were master and apprentice and still maintain friendly contact with one another, even with the occasional fight with one another. Then again, there's bigger threats in the Pantheon for both the Black and Red factions to deal with, so it's not like Shirou Amakusa is in any position to restart another Grail War. Fiore and Caules however are open to having an amicable chat with Shirou and his conspirators, that is if the Holy Grail isn't the main topic.
• They've developed a wide range of feelings towards many of the new servants and masters, at least in their point of view. Fiore appears to get along really well with Shirou Emiya due to both of them wanting what's best for their close ones and Shirou himself complementing Caules's dedication towards his sister. Their friendship, in turn also extended to Rin Tohsaka and Sakura Matou who understand the stress of being a master. Rin in particular has taken to training Caules at some point and understands Fiore's wishes to remain out of conflict for the time being.
• Of all the fellow masters, only their Honorary Uncle, Gordes Musik was appropriate enough to be selected as their herald. Mainly because Darnic Prestone turned himself into a threat towards his own faction the moment he forced Vlad III to use his Noble Phantasm to turn into Dracula, Roche Frain was simply too detached from humanity and his obsession with Golems doesn't help matters and Celenike Icecolle had none of the moral scruples the other masters had and decided it would be best for Astolfo if she doesn't turn up. Ever since their arrival, bringing Gordes along had him rethinking how he should approach Sieg again at some point. That said, they did feel bad for not heralding Darnic and Roche, given that the former was desperate in his goals and the latter was suddenly and cruelly betrayed.
• The Master of Chaldea has enlisted the siblings into his staff support and seeks to at least provide Caules with magical training, which he states that he will partake mainly to defend himself and his sister. Even with her mana capabilities gone, Fiore could at least mentor and teach the homunucli on how to stand up for one's self and to appreciate life.
  • Fiore and Caules were rather surprised to see someone who shared Gordes's surname, Goredolf Musik, who acted as one of the Master of Chaldea's many heralds. He, in turn met Gordes with some amusement and despite their contrasting personalities, they did warm up with one another overtime. Similarly, Goredolf himself expresses care for Fiore and Caules, even trying to stand up for them despite his cowardice.
• Caules's first impression on Victor Frankenstein was a skewed one. For one, Caules chewed on him in the fact that he should have been more careful and compassionate about the treatment of his monster, though he does feel saddened about the fact that Victor's actions led to his loved ones being killed before he eventually succumbed to hypothermia while trying to find and kill the monster. The monster, on the other hand feels somewhat grateful to see Caules treat him as an individual and not as a beast. Then again, the Monster was Berserker of Black in Caules's world, a fact that the Monster sees with some surprise. Hearing about himself being Caules's servant and managing to establish an understanding relationship, the monster sees Caules with more respect than he usually does towards others.
• Fiore is in good graces with the ascended deities who also had to be confined to a wheelchair during their lifetimes, namely Barbara Gordon, Bentley Turtle and Nunnally Lamperouge. Bentley seeks to try getting Fiore to get a better grasp at using technology such as phones, given that Caules is perfectly fine using. Barbara praises Fiore for taking an approach that would restore her physical mobility, given that the only reason she regained the ability to walk was through a series of retcons. Nunnally being a similar idealistic who hopes for the betterment of her loved ones can relate to Fiore in that sense. Charles Xavier is pleased to see Fiore become a well-regarded and capable individual as a master and as a person, with her demeanor reminding Charles of his stance of Humans and Mutants coexisting peacefully with one another. This was a fact that Apocalypse didn't take lightly as he felt that Fiore's mindset was counterproductive to his view in life and seeks to teach her that, the fact that several servants are already opposed to him be damned.
  • As a All Loving Heroine, Fiore may be seen as a brighter contrast to Father Elijah. Like her during the Grail War, he is also a wheelchair-bound individual who is determined to see the end of his goal. However, where Father Elijah really contrasts Fiore is that he's a Control Freak of the highest order and everyone else be damned. To counter Fiore's positive outlook on life, Elijah seeks to "wipe the state clean" with the Sierra Madre Casino via The Cloud and Hologram Defense. Given that she used a mechanical device to aid her in battle, Byakyua took a slight interest, though became disappointed in Fiore for relinquishing her magic and hence, unable/unwilling to use said device.
  • Even if her villainy is downplayed as of recent events, Fiore and Caules are still very wary about Monaca Towa. Given who her inspiration is (or more currently, was), the siblings could hardly be contested by it. Not helping matters is how Monaca posed as a wheelchair-bound student as a way to win students' trust and turn it around for torture, which rubs Fiore the wrong way.
• On the subject of siblings, they are on good terms with the Elric Brothers and Porom and Palom, due to their sibling instincts and their dedication towards one another. At also helps in that the other two sibling duo ware well-versed in magic, an aspect which Caules feels he can learn a lot from. The Elrics intend on making Caules more versatile in magical combat and respect Fiore's decision to be left out, given she is still undergoing her mobility training.
  • Speaking of, Caules gets along pretty well with Akko Kagari, who also struggles to maintain her use in magic, though the difference in their usage difficulty is that Caules isn't interested in magic whereas Akko isn't a natural born witch. Still, they respect one another, given that Akko is steadily improving herself whereas she is impressed by Caules using the most of his abilities to lead the Black Faction to victory and enroll for further magical training soon afterwards.
• Despite their relationship with Nunnally, Fiore and Caules are more conflicted with her brother Lelouch, if mainly because of how extreme he is in keeping her safe and happy. For now, Lelouch is fine with the fact that the Forvedge siblings get along with Nunnally and can tell that they have no harmful intent. However, the fact that he would outright force his opponents to kill each other and use his wits to demoralize them makes Fiore and Caules suspicious otherwise. Other than that, there's no real enmity between them.
• Chucky has noticed how Fiore reminds him of one of his top enemies, Nica Pierce due to their disabled mobility (former in Fiore's case) and plotted an attempt to torture and kill her for the hell of it, or even better, possess her just to mess with Caules. The siblings are incredibly cautious about him given that Chucky has an assembled army of possessed dolls at his service, though luckily, Chiron and Berserker of Black are always there for help when needed.

• Uneasy Relationship: Jesse Pinkman
• A series of morbid killings begin to occur in 1990s Louisiana. The case taken into interest by detectives Martin Heart and Rustin Cohle in 1995 who establish an effective, but highly dysfunctional duo, with Marty's affair with another woman and Cohle's unadulterated nihilism clashing against each other greatly. Still, they were able to continue on with their investigation, with the murders being identified as being ritualistic with occult undertones. They tracked down a suspect, Reginald "Reggie" Ledoux, with Marty personally killing him after seeing what he did to kidnapped children. Unfortunately, killing Ledoux had consequences in that there was another suspect who was killing, thus the case went on. Despite their dedication, Marty and Cohle separated in 2002 after Marty had another affair and his wife Maggie went on to have sex with Cohle, the latter being disgusted by her impulsive action. It wasn't until 2012 when Marty and Cohle reunited, this time even more determined to stop the Louisiana killings after watching a series of horrific clips relating to a victim called Marie Fontenot. Researching and collecting evidence for the "Creature in the Tall Grass/Green-Eared Spaghetti Monster", They uncovered a place known as Carcosa where the real culprit, Errol Childress resided. The two worked hard to confront and battle Childress. Despite being greatly injured and worn out, Cohle was able to kill Childress and bring a sense of closure to the case, though there were other cultists like Childress who worked for him and are still at large. In the overall aftermath, Cohle had a sense of existentialism and concluded that his deceased father and daughter are waiting for him in death and that he should continue to live his life. Marty has since come to terms with his actions and seeks to make amends with Maggie and their daughters Audrey and Maisie. In the end, Marty and Cohle have reached a point where they positively acknowledge one another.
• The Pantheon was a place that Marty and Cohle aren't too invested into. Their ascension was an end result of their investigative case and while it isn't fully concluded, the two have gone to try getting a rest and relieve themselves. They were called to investigate a series of murders that had similar undertones of occultism and organized crime. They've since taken up the case, though they've stated that they do need to recuperate after everything they've been through.
• It should be made clear that unlike most buddy-cop relationships, Marty and Cohle initially did not get along. As in they outright hated each other upon their first conversation. This would eventually persist for years, with Marty becoming annoyed at Cohle's nihilism whereas Cohle himself would very often chastise Marty for being an unfaithful husband and for not keeping his emotions on check. Thanks to years of experience and understanding, they've become odd friends to some extent, with Marty eventually growing out of his negative characteristics and Cohle having a positive spiritual experience.
• While they have been lauded as some of the best detectives working in the Pantheon, they are also one of the hardest to work on, especially given their personality traits. While Marty can be negotiated and reasoned with despite his impulsive nature, Cohle is so determined to a case he would breach the rules if it means getting it done. It's especially jarring since Cohle is an amazingly talented and experienced police detective, which means that in spite of his Cowboy Cop nature, the House of Justice do need him in some cases.
• Both cops are currently recovering alcoholics, especially given the circumstances they had to go through regarding the Yellow King murders. Cohle had it a lot worse though, in addition to also being a recovering drug addict. The two sometimes seek rehabilitation and recovery, with Marty often trying to take therapy sessions on how he would like to deal with his wife and daughters.
• To put it rather bluntly, Cohle's life sucked. His father raised him in a harsh landscape in Alaska, his daughter died in a car accident at age 2, he went through a harsh divorce almost immediately after said daughter's death, spent some time as an undercover cop where he developed his drug addiction and hung out at a mental institution. This has him being viewed in pity by the House of Family, although Cohle barely actually responds to their messages. That said, he hasn't reciprocated any sort of annoyance towards them.
• Speaking of the House of Family, Marty is sometimes at odds with them. The House aren't really happy with the way Marty treated his wife Maggie and failing to properly looking after his older daughter Audrey. They did however tone down their distaste after Marty sincerely apologized with his family after he and Cohle completed their case, with Marty currently working hard to prove himself a decent family man in the Pantheon.
• Both of them have struck a rather surprising partnership with Shinnosuke Tomari. They were once conducting a case together detailing to a series of systematic drug dealings led by the Slavers. While initially working on their two, they later bought Tomari along after learning that the Slavers were in cahoots with the 456 Ambassador. The overall experience led to Tomari becoming good friends with Cohle and Marty and Tomari asserted that he'll try to do his best in making sure they get some emotional support, a gesture which Cohle was surprisingly able to reciprocate with respect.
  • Speaking of the 456 Ambassador, one of the reasons for Cohle and Marty's fallout from the police? Once when as an undercover cop, Cohle killed a drug dealer who injected his daughter with crystal meth. Sometime after 2002, Marty discovered the corpse of a baby that was immolated by being put into a microwave, prompting him to quit being an officer for some time. And the video footage of Marie Fontenot being surrounded by cultists before she was horrifically tortured and killed in ways that couldn't be described? Cohle and Marty despise people who would harm and kill kids. The discovery of the 456 Ambassador's collaboration with the Slavers only further fueled Cohle and Marty to solve the case, but knowing the security and threat that they had possessed, Tomari was called in for assist as he had enough power and resources to provide offensive backup for Cohle and Marty. Given what they had experienced, Tomari doesn't talk much about it, knowing that children and crime are a sensitive topic. This is also extended to Scott Shelby due to his actions as the Origami Killer. During a confrontation, Cohle and Marty asserted Shelby that the next time he's out killing kids, there will be no arrest warrants.
    • This did, however, allow the two to strike a friendship with Julis-Alexia von Riessfeld, a well-known orphanage defender, who respects Cohle and Marty's strict actions when it comes to protecting children and this is returned back with Marty asserting that he will help Julis out in providing for orphanage kids if he's given an assignment on it.
• On detective work, Cohle and Marty have an obvious partnership with Batman and Commissioner Gordon. Gordon would often lay out information and resources for the duo to pick up, though Batman himself would only show up if the investigation proves to be far more illusive and deadly than anticipated. They've also struck an alliance with Matt Murdoch who covers up for them in trial and provides field support as Daredevil without revealing his identity. Spawn seems to like Marty and Cohle for reminding him of fellow detectives, Sam and Twitch who were reliable allies for Spawn during his cursade against the forces of Malebolgia.
• Despite being mostly well-known for their appearance back in 1995, the iteration of Cohle and Marty that exists in the Pantheon is from the year 2012, after they had completed the case of Dora Lange, a signal to indicate that all the character development that they had been through is still intact. Hence, while Cohle does exhibit small nihilistic bouts, his existentialism is still active whereas Marty nowadays tries to employ some Simple-Minded Wisdom every once in a while.
• Due to his undercover experiences and previous drug addiction, Cohle is staunch enemies against Walter White. Additionally, he doesn't care about Walt's original motivation for his crime and would rather have him arrested on the spot. The enmity is also extended to Gus Fring, though Cohle and Marty tend to tread much more lightly in Gus's regard given that his criminal empire was meticulous and well-organized.
  • Jesse Pinkman is more complicated. While Cohle isn't forgiving of Jesse being Walt's accomplice, he does express some degree of pity towards him given that much of his later crimes were not really under his control and that he actually wanted out of the drug industry later on. He'd still want Jesse trialed, but is willing to work with him against worse criminals.
• Although he initially denied it, Marty is noted to not really be any more distant from Cohle regarding their characteristics. That said, Cohle is incredibly blunt about who he is whereas Marty covers it up repeatedly and doesn't like admitting to his darker impulses. Even if he's begun to acknowledge it overtime, he wouldn't talk about it all that much either.
• Being hardboiled and later, private detectives much later down the line, Cohle and Marty easily bonded with Shotaro Hidari and Philip, who were also investigating a very mysterious and puzzling case in their home universe. Marty finds the idea of a Kamen Rider being shared by two individuals rather amusing, whereas Cohle doesn't anything to say on the matter. They do however, see Philip as a reliable worker, given his ability to collect information about everything to do with the world's knowledge. That said, his chatty demeanor can be droning, especially for Cohle, though Marty again finds this humorous, given that Philip's awkward and lighthearted demeanor is a blatant parallel to Cohle's nihilistic and bleak tone, which he himself is beginning to lessen on.
• They have a difficult working relation with Giorno Giovanna. Being a gangster, Cohle and Marty are wary of him, but they don't actively oppose him, given that Giorno values his comrades and is affable towards those outside of his occupation. They will however work together in opposing Diavolo, especially given that he's a drug dealer with no scruples about selling them to kids.
  • They have a decent working relationship with the Investigation Team due to their efforts in sticking to their code of conduct. That said, their main focus of respect is towards Yu Narukami due to his his affection and protectiveness towards Nanako Dojima. Heck, even Cohle and Marty have taken steps to ensure that Nanako doesn't get tangled up with criminals, given how ruthless they themselves are in dealing with those who harm kids. The Phantom Thieves of Hearts on the other hand, is a similar situation to Giorno. At least the thieves act for benevolent reasons and are willing to work with Cohle and Marty when it comes to taking down criminals, but them being a lot more direct in being chaotic about their tasks can be obstructive for the cops. Still, there's a certain measure of respect for Makoto Niijima due to her aspirations of being a cop.

• Opposes: Cyrus
• Avoids: Chuggaaconroy, Flumpty Bumpty, Golb
• Arceus, the Original One, is believed to have been the progenitor of the Pokemon universe itself. It emerged from an egg before time and shaped reality with 1000 arms, using the Creation Trio to shape the dimensions and the Lake Trio to shape the soul. Mew, supposed genetic ancestor of all Pokemon, is unclear where it fits but most agree Arceus came first. The Alpha Pokemon is capable of taking on any type depending on the plate or Z crystal it holds, and has balanced stats across the board; all of them with a BST of 120.
  • Technically genderless, however given most creator deities are masculine Arceus has decided to identify as such in the Trope Pantheon.
• Due to Arceus's strength and the fact that he rules over the entire Pokémon universe, he initially ascended as the god of Olympus Mons. Not to mention directly created the Pokémon of time, space, dimensions, and willpower, knowledge and emotions, all to carry out his will. Instead he has chosen the role of Cosmic Egg, as the Original One is always described as having emerged from an egg before the universe even existed. When asked if this makes him related to Flumpty Bumpty, Arceus responded with "he's my weirdo neighbor from back in the Primordial Chaos days, I tend to avoid him".
• Considered the leader of Pokemon everywhere, what with being their answer to God. Not interested in worship, just respect, though he is not the strongest Pokemon thanks to Mega Evolution, Primal Reversion and Ultra Necrozma. Still, Arceus is the strongest non-transformed Pokemon. Mewtwo, designed in mind as the strongest Pokemon, has a rivalry with the Alpha Pokemon and the two regularly throw down to declare superiority. Whenever Mewtwo tries to up things with one of his Mega Evolutions, Arceus has a Spooky or Dread Plate on standby.
  • Was asked if Giratina is the devil to his God. Arceus simply responded "he's not the Devil, he's a very naughty boy!"
• As the Alpha Pokemon, Arceus had high standards for who to pick as his partner. Ultimately he settled on Mata Nui, for being a level-headed and benevolent god. He tends to chill with supreme beings who prefer a light touch, such as Eru Illuvatar. Arceus seems to agree on Primus in terms of how he goes about his divine and heroic duties. Just so long as they don't rib on how a supreme being can become a trainer's pet; it really annoys him.
• Doesn't really like Zeedmillenniummon that much. Nor does Arceus like YHVH, due to His ego issues driving Him to try and supplant every Top God He can. The Alpha Pokemon doesn't really care about worship anyway. And with most literal deities, Arceus considers Zamasu an insane fallen deity, while Zamasu decries the Mythical Pokemon for not getting more involved in the world of Pokemon. Arceus simply responded "because it can take care of itself 99% of the time, that's why I tend to stay neutral". Also, he thinks that Chakravartin is a total prick
• Stays clear of Chuggaaconroy after hearing how he was able to capture Latias and Groudon in Nest Balls and then Dialga in a Luxury Ball and both Giratina and Dialga with Heal Balls. Many gods are awaiting the day that Chuggaa decides to go after Arceus and to see which kind of Poké Ball he'll use to capture him. And then they all groaned to learn that Arceus ran away from Chuggaaconroy and thus have to wait for Chuggaa's next adventure.
• Upon hearing about the high following of 'The Great Helix', he simply laughed at how mortals can latch on to one of his minor creations as a god. He doesn't have hard feelings against it, though. He has mixed opinions of the "The Mob" after they started imagining the man behind these events ("The Streamer") looking like him with glasses. This hasn't stopped him from interacting with them, like how they summoned him in the land of Ransei with the warlord host Lady ABnp3a, which caused him to join her in order to defeat Nobunaga or how they eventually did meet up with Arceus for real (but then ran away in terror).
• Given how Arceus emerged from a Cosmic Egg, he's uncomfortable with the Divine Powers harvesting human souls on mass to form a universe free of YHVH. While he gets why they may be motivated, the Original One doesn't think they're much better and pointed out to Khrisna Lack of Empathy, the new universe would still have serious problems for humanity despite their claims. By contrast, Arceus has a much better relationship with a fellow Cosmic Egg creator, Pangu, who's Creation Myth of "making the universe and not doing much before it" is reminiscent of Arceus'. And the two are rather chill for gods.
• It is unwise to piss him off in any way, shape or form. Promise to return what is a materialized form of his power to him, then break that promise? He'll destroy the land it helped to restore, even in the far future. Try to make him destroy the world because you are a nihilistic sociopath? He'll ascend you to another plane of existence as a punishment. Throw sand in his eyes? He'll go Old Testament on your ass. How Cyrus avoided angering Arceus is unclear, but Arceus has warned him not to mess with cosmic powers a second time or he's coming for him. Thanks to Hareta's influence, he may no longer be a problem for the Original One.
• Said to have been emerged in the Primordial Chaos and void of reality. Amatsu-Mikaboshi is indignant at this, as he is towards all creation, and Arceus was legitimately afraid of the Chaos King. It's rather justified for him to be afraid. The Lich was aggravated by Arceus as being one of the beings "from before there was anything, even nothing" being a force for creation and wishes to slay the Alpha Pokemon. Arceus isn't sure what to make of Golb, though. However he is willing to accept Amara, who has gotten over her destructive and creator-hating tendencies once making up with her brother Chuck. There seems to be a nostalgic fondness for her. Arceus isn't hanging without her brother after he proved himself Evil All Along.
• No one, not even the smartest deities in the Pantheon, has any idea how to pronounce his name. And no-one is certain on what the equine Arceus' thousand arms are, but the common theory is that they're armaments, as the Unown. As the Unown are reality warpers, and Arceus can summon them to make another member of the Creation Trio, it's rather plausible.

Since Arceus won't be a guardian at Beast anymore, which deity should be his replacement?

Maybe an interaction with other egg-based/involved entities like the Soldier and the Little Girl, Flumpty Bumpty, and Billy Hatcher.

for Fiore and Caules.

Here is my first draft of my second Tekken rework, Asuka Kazama. Any suggestions are welcome.

"You're gonna get hurt!"

Asuka Kazama, Goddess of Breaking Up Fights (Gang Mediator, Kansai Peacemaker)

• Returning to: Heroic Actions
• Lesser Goddess
• Symbol: A blue stylized swallow logo
• Alignment: Neutral Good with shades of Chaotic Good
• Portfolio: A brash teenage girl from Osakawho hates unnecessary fighting and stops it from happening, Ordinary High-School Student Not Liking When People Ogle Her Chest, Cute Bruiser, Shares the same moveset as Jun Kazama but is much more aggressive on it, Enjoying a Good Fight Every Now and Then, Reversing Enemy Attacks
• Domains: Aggressiveness, Martial Arts, Vigilantism, Mysterious Powers
• Herald: Her father
• Allies: Lei Wulong
  • Fellow Bully Hunters: Jimmy Hopkins, Mikoto Misaka, Kyo Kusanagi, Chie Satonaka, Matilda Wormwood, Pippi Longstocking
  • Others: Chun-Li, Cammy, Candice White, Johnny Lawrence, Hime Onizuka, Ayumu "Osaka" Kasuga, Jacqui Briggs
• Fire-Forged Friends with: Issei Hyodo
• Rivals: Lili, Karin Kanzuki
• Enemies: Raynare, Eliza and Neil Reagan, Libby Chessler, Bill Tannen, Agatha Trunchbull, Dolores Umbridge
• Opposes : Matoko Itou
• Special Relationship: Jin Kazama, Jun Kazama (her relatives from her clan, how related they are is said to be complicated)
• A member of the Kazama clan who hails from Osaka, known throughout her hometown for her hatred towards unnecessary fighting and to find peace between the two sides, she swore revenge against Feng Wei after hearing from Lei Wulong that he hurt her father and sent him to the hospital by attending the fifth Iron Fist Tournament, hearing that he’s going to be one of it’s many contestants. She eventually developed a strong rivalry with Lili after Asuka defeated her and never settled her revenge on Wei as she never found him and decided to return to her normal life. When hearing that the one who causes the global war, Jin Kazama, is a relative of hers, she decided to hunt him down, ashamed that he tarnished her family, all the while her rivalry with Lili is growing stronger than ever.
• She first came into the Pantheon when she helped Jimmy Hopkins breaking up fellow gangsters when a fight between the two went way too far. After that, she and Jimmy developed a great friendship and this caused Jimmy to request the Court of Gods to ascend her, reasoning that she is the type of person who wants peace in her hometown and her stubborn nature causes her to involve herself into conflicts that doesn’t involve her, usually solving it with violence, to teach them a lesson and won’t stop until they learned it. The Court of Gods have accepted his case and overjoyed to see herself ascended, she said a warm thank you to him.
• Hearing that Jin Kazama is actually in the Pantheon, Asuka went furious over this, however, she doesn’t want to waste her entire time tracking him down and decides to let others do the job and follow her daily routine for the time being. She met Lili again, who demands a rematch of her again and keeps following her around making the same demand over and over again that she decided to accept her request and have a rematch every now and then. When she saw Lei Wulong in the Pantheon, she thanked him for telling her what happen to her father and the one who did it and as a compensation, she wants to help him on crimes that she could handle on combat such as gang fights and chasing criminals on the street, but this worries Lei as she is still a minor no matter how efficient she is on her skills.
• One thing about Asuka that majority of the residents have wished to exploit is her mysterious, angel-like powers that are exactly like Jun Kazama. They believe that her powers could help cure the devil gene as shown if she won the fifth King of Iron Fist Tournament and there is more to her relationship with Jin and Jun since the latter is the chosen one of the Kazama clan and is the only one besides Asuka to have those powers. For now, the Court of Gods have told the Pantheon to keep it a secret to her and anyone living in her universe and that Asuka should discover those powers by herself.
• Along with Jimmy Hopkins, she became friends with other bully hunters such as Mikoto Misaka, Kyo Kusanagi, Chie Satonaka, Matilda Wormwood, and Pippi Longstocking. Although Kyo doesn’t fight bullies as much as he does and focuses more on his fighting tournaments, he tries to help his fellow bully hunters as much as he could, even if he and Asuka spite at each other sometimes since he can be full of himself. Asuka admires Chie’s sense of justice and aspiration to become a police officer. She is also impressed at Matilda’s telekinesis and how she uses it to exploit Trunchball, Mikoto’s usage of electricity towards criminals, and Pippi’s strength despite her pale appearance and wants to see how she could beat them all of them (which includes Jimmy, Chie, and Kyo) in a fair fight (except for Matilda and Pippi, since they’re still children). The only bully hunter she doesn’t like is Makoto Itou because of how his relationship with girls turn out and how reckless he is in his decisions regarding them.
• As obvious, she doesn’t like bullies such as Libby Chessler and Bill Tannen, especially the latter because he never learned his lesson even as an adult and wants to kick him to teach him. She also hates Agatha Trunchbull and Dolores Umbridge for their love of torturing their students and is rather happy when she hears what Matilda Wormwood and Fred and George Weasley did to them respectively.
  • Although she couldn’t forgive for what he did in the past, she is impressed that Johnny Lawrence is trying to change to become better and wants to help him in that being a woman who strives for peace in her community and sees that as a win. When she hears that he has a dojo running, she occasionally comes in as a guest to see how he teaches his students and even participates in the lessons so that she could become stronger.
  • The same could be said for Himeko Onizuka, whom she felt pity for since it first happened because she was betrayed by her former friend. That said, Asuka is happy to see that she quit her former reputation and that she led a happier life with Bossun and Switch and helps her fight against enemies who want to pick a fight with her.
• Issei Hyodo has also tried to grope her breasts, only to get the same response. Whilst Asuka initially thought Issei's nothing more than a pervert and said she's baffled on how he managed to get his own harem, he's tried to prove otherwise since this episode. She has warmed up to him when he kick a bunch of guys that want to harass her. While she still wonders how he has so many female admirers, she does look up to his sense of chivalry, even if she still goes mad whenever Issei does one of his perverted remarks and after learning from Rias Gremory about a tragically cruel incident involving his ex-girlfriend Raynare, Asuka can't help but feel pity for him. After Raynare herself ascended to the Pantheon, Asuka is looking forward to wiping the smug grin off of the fallen angel's face.
• Originally rivals with Chun-Li and Cammy during the Pandora Incident, Asuka has since then become much more friendly with them, admiring their jobs as agents of justice and aspires to be like them by working harder to keep her hometown safe, although Chun-Li and Cammy are worried towards her stubbornness to head towards trouble. Asuka has also developed a rivalry with Karin Kanzuki, whom the latter reminds the former of her rival Lili, but she finds her much more pleasant company than her rival thanks to her newfound respect towards her opponents and changing her personality to become a better person, thus the two have established a friendship, though the two are still rivals and have respected and complimented each other’s lifestyles and martial arts skills.
• One time, Asuka saw Eliza Reagan bullying Candice White, mocking her for her orphaned status. This pisses her off and proceeds to interrupt them, telling Eliza to apologize to Candice. At first, the rich girl laughs at her demand, but her actions caused her to be almost hit by Asuka, the latter deciding not to hit her since she is defenseless and just wants her to learn her lesson and told her if she doesn’t back off from bullying Candice, she will face dire consequences. This scares Eliza and proceeds to run away to be with her brother, who develops a hatred of Asuka for scaring his sister and her vigilantism towards bullying. Asuka’s actions also caused her to become good friends with Candice and Asuka took it on herself to teach Candice martial arts to protect herself against Eliza and Neil.
• Asuka has also got along with Ayumu Kasuga since they are both from Osaka and is one of the few people to call Osaka by her real name (which is understandable given that they are born in the same hometown and it would be easier for Asuka to call her by her real name) and wants to help her excel in PE class seeing how she’s failing in it, which is why she trained her in that aspect.
• Hearing about Jacqui Brigg’s exploits in her world, Asuka became fast friends with her and admires her resolve to join the military despite her father’s refusal to do so, seeing her as a fellow defender of justice. She also wants to challenge Jacqui in a fight someday and thus, trains herself in preparation for that.
• "That's the lesson for today."

Time for the theme song

Speaking of Star Wars, has anyone ever watched Revenge of the Sith but Order 66 was censored out? Only in Disney Channel Southeast Asia people.

Edited by M1gamiTensei on Apr 25th 2020 at 10:51:49 AM

@ Excessive Menace: I mentioned Flumpty Bumpty already

@Crimson: For Caules and Fiore, Argus Filch is also a magically inept person, but he copes with it far worse than Caules and as such he's jealous that Caules copes with it far better, who even assumes leadership of the Yggdmillenia at the end of his story and Caules in turn thinks Filch is non-negotiable considering he always sided with Dolores Umbridge of all people and he's never fired despite evidence supporting that claim, something Fiore also agrees. Lua and Luca are also siblings that got along with Caules and Fiore who are amazed at them being Signers and Luca having the ability to talk to monster spirits. They would also be enemies with Azula and allies with Zuko since Azula disregards her brother to appease their father Fire Lord Ozai who doesn't love her as well since he himself cares about ruling the nations, to which Caules and Fiore also antagonizes Ozai for being an evil man.

@Mattman: For Malty, Rin the Synchro Duelist hates her as Malty once spread around lies about her in her voice, something she unfortunately shares. Malty herself finds joy in toying her around, seeing Rin as very helpless against her.

@Louisent: Ochako Uraraka/Uravity is also another native of Osaka.

@ Faso: How about he be allies with The Mechanical Bosses? They're Mechanical Abominations as well, or rather, the artificial organs specifically created for another Eldritch Abomination, Cthulhu, as a means of reviving him

Rough first draft for the Rock of Ages. Believe I listed all the opponents that have ascended, though ironically neither Sisyphus or Atlas is here. Let me know if there's other people who ran from boulders. Or some other noteworthy interaction.

The Rock of Ages, Patron Saint of Using Iconic Scores

• Potential House:
• s:
• Lesser Deity
• Symbol: Itself.
• Theme Song: Saturn Dies Irae
• Alignment: True Neutral
• Portfolio: Animate Inanimate Object, Rewarding Vandalism, Songs in the Key of Panic, Rolling over people, Genre-Busting Widget Series: Now 40% less historically accurate!
• Domains: History, Art, Boulders
• Followers: Other boulders
• Allies:
• On Good Terms With: Leonidas I, Vlad the Impaler, Leonardo da Vinci, Bacchus, Marie Antoinette, Napoleon Bonaparte, Jeanne D'Arc, King Henry VIII, Vincent Van Gogh, Baba Yaga, Hercules, Medusa
• Rivals:
• Enemies: Cronus, Cleopatra VII, The Sphinx
• Respected by/Respects:
• Pitied by/Pities:
• Opposed by/Opposes: Gandalf, Simon Belmont, Indiana Jones, Crash Bandicoot, Leon S. Kennedy
• Fears/Avoids: Chris Redfield
• Conflicting Opinion:
• Ask around the House of War about how battles are won. They'll probably recite stuff about tactics, strategy, logistics, the quality of equipment and soldiers, and a whole load of other factors. Well they're wrong. All major battles in history were won by throwing giant boulders down a hill. Case in point: Sisyphus, King of Ephyra, condemned for his trickery and cheating of death to the hellish punishment of rolling a boulder up on the hill. Forever... Then dear Sisy and the boulder got tired of that and used the latter to escape the Underworld and enjoy newfound freedom. This boulder, who we'll identify as the Rock of Ages from here on out for sanity's sake, would go on to wreck havoc across history. Smashing buildings, fighting spirits of the ages, and overall just squishing people as they futilely try to squish his master with their own boulder. Yes, the games run on an Excuse Plot for such Genre-Busting gameplay involving the squishing of people and their puny little defenses with giant rocks, but they're good Excuse Plots.
• It was yet another quiet day in the Pantheon. One of the more same-old, same-old. Clear blue skies, fresh air, and Wile E. Coyote (gluttunous foolii) was out conducting another one of his schemes to catch the Road Runner (acceleratii feathacus). Indeed, business as usual. And today he's was committed to another one of his schemes to catch the Road Runner. Setting up a yet another makeshift see-saw and giant boulder he planned to nail the speedy bird when the time was right. Alas, the result remained constant and the Coyote was squashed as flat as paper. Then the boulder proceeded to jump from the crushed predator and rolled off to parts unknown. Later that day a rather heated dispute erupted between two gods and before anyone knew it one of them was crushed flat by that same giant boulder which bore a face. The whole thing was rather hard to miss, the entirety of the ordeal was in tune to Dies Irae as the soon-to-be-pancaked god pleaded for mercy. After some review from the Court of Gods it was at this point that the particular boulder itself would ascend as the Patron Saint of Using Iconic Scores for.
• It, along with the boulders following it, can come in a variety of different forms. There is, of course, your standard vanilla Rock of Ages but there's also stranger ones like those encased in armor, shaped like a wheel, made of magma, is a balloon/a really rotund cow, and an outright bomb with the fuse to boot. Now, you may raise the question of: Wouldn't many of them not be boulders anymore? By definition they are large objects made up of rock and blah blah blah blah blah. Why would you care? Why draw the line here of all places? But if we were to give a properly formal and constructive answer: Break thee off unless thee wanteth to beest did crush by a rocketh too, thee clotpole^Translation Shut up unless you want to be crushed by a rock too, you idiot.
• Has met (and crushed) a great deal of many famous figures throughout the ages, many of whom have already made their residence in the Pantheon. This large (and still incomplete) list includes the likes of Leonidas, Vlad the Impaler, Leonardo da Vinci, Bacchus, Marie Antoinette, Napoleon Bonaparte, Jeanne D'Arc, King Henry VIII, Vincent Van Gogh, Baba Yaga, Hercules, and Medusa. You would be surprised how none of them hold any grudges towards the boulder, and some of them have even partied with Sisyphus in the afterlife without a hint of ill will. It would help that they all have boulders of their own and frequently employ it to crush people at a moment's notice. That, and when they're using these rocks they tend to become pretty nutty. Bacchus, for example, is constantly hungry and anything he comes across he's willing to slurp like fresh ramen. Leonardo da Vinci, meanwhile, is apparently disgusted by the existence of the deranged activity known as video games whereas Jeanne D'Arc mistook hearing God's voice asking where Atlas went as a call to action and is notably more out-there than ever. And that's not going over Vincent Van Gogh being a creepy oil-paint vomiting monster...
  • It wasn't entirely sunshine and rainbows for this big little rock. Cronus is still peeved at the boulder for being complacent in Sisyphus' escape from his punishment and when he tried to drag him back the boulder defeated him the only way it knew how. Cleopatra VII also has it out for the rock for smashing The Sphinx's nose repeatedly, though she didn't know that until the rock itself came to the Pantheon and thought nothing more of it when she put a Cone of Shame on the Sphinx. Meanwhile Gandalf and Simon Belmont have it out due to being killed by said boulder (or one like it for Simon, at least, courtesy of Vlad Tepes himself). Killed unceremoniously, we might add.
• This boulder has the uncanny ability to make its opponents, when cornered, scream like a little girl. It matters not if they're men, a sentient goat and burning giraffe, the zombified corpses of Plato and Aristotle, the personification of The Black Death, or the figure in The Scream. Although, that last one probably goes without saying. You'd scream too if the sunscreen you applied on your face turned out to be super glue.
• (Indiana Jones, Crash Bandicoot, Leon S. Kennedy) Anyone who went through the classic Indy Ploy with a boulder chasing them down naturally did not come to like the Rock of Ages.
  • (Chris Redfield)

As has been noted previously, sometimes the Rock has Issac’s face on it.

What about Maud Pie? She is well-known for her obsession with rocks.

Well, I'm back for a brief moment because I have a proposal for a potential candidate for a new trope.

• The Hearthean, God of Resurrection Death Loops - The reason being that Outer Wild's premise is about the titular player character being stuck in a 22-minute time loop which ends with them being killed by their sun going supernova, and being sent back in time before the impending disaster. They can also trigger the time loop prematurely by dying at any point.

What do you think? Since the trope itself was launched a few days ago, I don't think anyone claimed it yet.

EDIT: Nevermind. Already claimed by Mattman The Storyteller.

4 days since I got 4 s. I'm guessing I can ascend this even without the need for a 5th vote, right? And I'm guessing this profile would best fit into Enemies, right?

The Racing Drones, Unholy Mook Mobile Drivers of the Pantheon (Drones)

^{The Racing Drones' Vehicles} 

• s: 4 (The Wikia Editor, Ferot Dreadnaught, Azure Legacy, louisent31)
• Theme: Racing Drones Theme
• Demigods individually, Lesser Gods when working as a team
• Symbol: The Racing Drones logo
• Alignment: Lawful Evil as a whole, Gelorum is more on Neutral Evil
• Portfolio: Mecha-Mooks who drive and even transform into part of Equally expendable cars, Killer Robot, Absolutely determined to win any and all races at any cost, Having limitless numbers of drones and vehicles at their disposal, Number-coded naming for their units and vehicles, Dark Is Evil, All of their drones and vehicles colored in dark green and black, Actually being thousands of years old
• Allies: SKYNET and its many subordinate units, AM, The Fabrication Machine, Sigma, Lumine, Ultron, The Decepticons, The Combine, ADVENT
• Enemies: Any and all humans, especially drivers, as well as any good-aligned machines supporting humanity
  • Badass Drivers: Captain Falcon, Dom Toretto and the West Coast Cabbies
  • Others: Sarah Connor and Kyle Reese, John Connor, 'Uncle Bob', XCOM, The Black Ops, The HECU
• Rivals: Nitrous Oxide, Emperor Velo
• The Racing Drones were highly-advanced robots created by the Accelerons, a mysterious alien race known for loving to race vehicles. Their purpose was simple: to win races, no matter what the cost. And they did as they were programmed and made to do.
  • Too well, in fact. So well, that they pretty much took all the fun and passion away from racing. Because of this, the Accelerons decided to banish them to Earth and seal them the Antarctic ice sheet. There, they remained dormant for thousands of years, until humanity learned how to make advanced cars and knew how to drive them well.
  • And so, in the early 21st century, the drones, led by Gelorum, emerged onto present-day Earth, determined to Take Over the World, Kill All Humans, and defeat the Accelerons in a race and eventually overthrow them.
• At first, Gelorum, who had assumed a human disguise, did her best to blend into humanity in order to understand how they raced as well as to attempt to steal the Wheel of Power, a device capable of giving access to the Racing Realms, worlds containing different racing tracks.
  • Her first attempt failed, and left her damaged and scarred. Following this, she rebuilt herself, with her Robotic Reveal made all the more apparent. However, she and the drones had successfully taken the Wheel of Power, and managed to thwart Dr. Peter Tezla's attempt at stealing it back. This left the genius scientist crippled and forced to wear a body brace until he can recover.
• After a few minor setbacks in the realms, Gelorum and the drones managed to secure all of the Accelechargers, by simply storming the Acceledrome and taking the ones belonging to the Teku, Metal Maniacs, and even the Silencerz. However, her subsequent attempts to push through with her Evil Plan at taking on the Accelerons ultimately fails, with her cheating in the Ultimate Race instead of using her own driving skills. In full Sore Loser combined with Villainous Breakdown fashion, she attempts to kill the victor of said race, one Vert Wheeler, before the Accelerons banish her for good.
  • Finding out that their leader has been banished and as a result lost the Ultimate Race, the RD-L1 units took command of the Drones, and ordered them to Kill All Humans present in the Acceledrome. Their attempts were ultimately stopped when the Silencerz intervened on the other drivers' behalf, allowing Vert and the others to escape.
• Following their defeat at the hands of the humans, the Racing Drones, including their leader Gelorum, were ascended into the Pantheon, complete with all their vehicles and production facilities. They emerged suddenly from a cave located in a mountain, where they promptly began setting up operation from within, churning out hundreds of new drones and cars within hours. However, without the Wheel of Power, they could no longer regain the Accelechargers, at least for the time being.
• Unlike most examples of the trope they represent, the Racing Drones actually form part of and transform into part of their vehicles, specifically the roof and driver's cabs on several of their mass-produced cars. In addition, both the drones and the vast majority of their vehicles are mass-produced on an assembly line. Despite this, however, they are far from being worthless.
  • In fact, their AI programming has been shown to be some of the best when it comes to driving through all kinds of environments, being able to adapt to any foreign environment in a matter of minutes.
  • With regards to their vehicles, among other things they have come up with an adaptable tire capable of changing its texture with the push of a button, allowing them to more easily traverse through any roads. The vehicles themselves are made up of reinforced alloys, allowing several of them to house incredibly powerful engines while maintaining incredibly high speed and maneuverability. In addition, all of them, including the drones themselves, house onboard weaponry, allowing them to reduce any rival racers and their cars to dust with a single hit.
  • The only real downside is their inability to think creatively, being robots and all. It's the main reason why many a human driver has outwitted them.
• Aside from their array of advanced racing vehicles, they also have two other notable Mook Mobile units that aren't cars. The first is a jet fighter which they use for close-air support, and is armed with the same blasters used in their cars. The second is the Sweeper, a massive Lightning Bruiser of a machine designed to capture rival racers and their cars by sweeping them into itself, then systematically dismantling their car and holding the driver in a cage.
• Interestingly, while most of their vehicles are mass-produced, they also have a handful of Super Prototype cars in their arsenal. The most advanced of these is the RD-09, Gelorum's personal racecar. Using the latest technology and having the compatibility to mount multiple accelechargers, it is the Magnum Opus of their technology.
• Their ascension earns them the interest of several evil-aligned deities and organizations, most of whom are interested in using the drones and their vehicles as additional firepower and manpower. Chief among them is SKYNET, who sees Gelorum's hatred of humanity as something they can form an alliance over. This is mainly due to seeing the Racing Drones' vehicles as massive improvements over the Moto-Terminator in terms of performance.
• Gelorum comes to admire AM's hatred of humanity, and promises to hand the computer system any other unlucky humans she captures.
  • She also comes to respect the Fabrication Machine's skills at producing mooks for itself, and even offers it the chance to help her construct more powerful drones and vehicles by integrating it into the drone production facilities. She also continues to encourage it to continue its crusade against humanity, even down to giving it a drone body and a personalized car for its own use.
• Sigma and Lumine are among the deities that Gelorum comes to respect, due to them wanting to turn against humanity much like how she rebelled against the Accelerons, her own creators. The same goes for Ultron.
• Gelorum and the Drones find out about the Decepticons after a number of them scan and disguise themselves as a number of their vehicles. She decides to ally with them, due to coming to like Megatron's belittling of humanity.
• Because of their alien origin as well as their hostility towards humans, XCOM, the MIB, the HECU, and even the Black Ops consider them as legitimate targets for them to oppose. The fact that they're machines gone rogue from their masters also earns them the attention deities like John Connor. Organizations like ADVENT and The Combine see the Drones as potential allies because of this, not helped by Gelorum's willingness to Take Over the World and Kill All Humans.
• Two deities they consider as rivals rather than outright enemies are Emperor Velo and his accomplice Nitrous Oxide. Due to the Drones' programming to win any and all races at any cost, they would rather race against them and their allies to prove that they're the superior racers than work together with him. In other words, the Drones are definitely the type to accept Velo's challenge, to the point that they're willing to kill either him or Oxide just for a shot at winning.

Edit: Thanks a lot.

Created to drive. Driven to kill.

to make your life easier.

Well, here comes another set of Masters. How long until a Pantheonic Holy Grail War?

"The world needs bad men. We keep other bad men from the door."

Might as well ask again about the position of the Illuminati. It turns out they're also in the House of Knowledge under Ambiguous Rank. I currently have 1 approval (Excessive-Menace)for making the organization an Overdeity and 2 (HamanaHamanaHamana, SuperWIKI1) for moving them to Ambiguous Rank in Mentalism as well, which also means their removal from Pantheon Leaders.

Also of note: Permission to demote Mr. Rogers to Demigod/Quasideity and remove him from Legendary Figures. And given that Kei Shirogane (Magically-Binding Contract) has three places in the Pantheon (Intellectual Archetypes, Mind Games and Magical Items) which one/two of these can be removed? Lastly, given that I have approval to do Malus Darkblade for The Unfavorite, permission to remove that from Kurei and move him to Family Dynamics, given that Even Bad Men Love Their Mamas is about how an antagonist feels out, well, their mother.

Yeah. I mean, there's nothing I can find that proves that Mr. Rogers is so absurdly powerful. He is an Overdeity only partly because of being the last character to remain in Ultimate Showdown of Ultimate Destiny and partly because he happens to be the inspiration of a lot of people and his overall reputation. Those two don't assess power in any way.

@Divine Flame 100 I honestly prefer your suggestion over Mattman's. Also, Mattman has not given a reason nor suggestion on Elizabeth yet so your suggestion still stands.

@Crimson Shark Wouldn't removing Mr. Rogers from Overdeity status require the removal of every reference of him being an uber powerful being from all other profiles? I can already think of three references off the top of my head. (Asura, Bobble the Clown, YHVH)

Alright, if you say so. If Mattman has any objections, I'll be glad to discuss with them.

x4 Get rid of everyone but Magical Items for Kei

At the very least, perhaps just demote Steve Rogers to demigod.
