• Ever walked into a forest one day and sensed something was quite off? Ever felt a presence even in the wide-open fields of grass and great blue skies? Ever had the inkling that you are indeed being watched out there? Chances are it was probably a Chameleos, the Elder Dragon of Mist. A creature based around chameleons (if the name didn't make that clear already) and uroplatus, it's elusive nature has actually made it difficult to study in some aspects. Not just in rarity, that comes natural with monsters of its class, but also in the sheer care it takes to stay away from others. Despite this, its existence is quite well known throughout various communities.
• As usual for the Chameleos it had entered the Pantheon without anyone really noticing until much later in its stay. It got found out when it a group of campers got way to close to its territory. Threatened by their presence, Chameleos drove them off and kicked it out of its forest though none of them were particularly gravely harmed save for a few were afflicted with some poison. As more of these cases have sprung up the Monster Hunters took it upon themselves into investigating these incidents with quite the inkling of their culprit on their minds. Sure enough, they were correct in their assumption and made a case to the Court of Gods about its existence in the Pantheon. After studying its mannerisms from various reports provided by the Hunter's Guild it was determined there that the Chameleos should represent Silly Walk for its tic of moving is quite like its namesake.
• Though an Elder Dragon, its classification as such is more-so because it doesn't fit into any other reported category. In fact, it's usually quite non-confrontational and picks its fight with care, only turning to such ends if there's no other choice. Still, don't underestimate it. The most apparent ability to camouflage its entire body at will with barely an Invisibility Flicker to its name. And in some cases with surprising agility that shouldn't logically be possible being less so invisibility and more-so actual teleportation. In addition it can also spray a blinding mist to either hide away or to open up its enemies for surprise attacks. As far as offensive goes it can not only spray poison in liquid and gaseous forms but also substances that hamper one's defenses and drains one's stamina. But by far its most infamous biological attribute is its tongue. Like a chameleon's its long, sticky, and elastic and the Chameleos puts it to good use in stealing the items right off of its foes. All in all, its arsenal is infuriating to go up against, which is the point. Chameleos relies on such strategies in hopes that its opponents like the Monster Hunters will give up in fighting it.
• Flavor Text was stolen.
• Prefers its humid climates and has made its home hunting in the Pantheon's various jungles, forests, and swamps. Thus, it's been in quite a number of places in the House of Plants. Anything outside of them is a no go. And its weaknesses to fire and thunder means it especially isn't going to be anywhere near the Houses of Fire and Heat and Electricity. It also holds a good amount of caution regarding the residents of said houses along with anyone capable of exploiting its weaknesses. Sure, it isn't everything, but it'd prefer fights that are heavily stacked toward its favor rather than ones of closer calls.
• Like all Elder Dragons (and all monsters, really) it likes neither Nergigante or Fatalis. Nergi exclusively hunts Elder Dragons. As Chameleos lies on the weaker end of the scale when it comes to Elders it will obviously not fare all that well facing against the Extinction Dragon. Luckily for it, Nergi seems to preoccupy itself with the various other Elders which may be attributed to their more rich bioenergy. Either way, its to Chameleos' favor. Fatalis, meanwhile, practically hates anything and everything that isn't it and is overall a malicious and destructive force. Enough said about that, really.
• Flavor Text was stolen.
• Effectively the go-to Elder Dragon associated with poison, much like how Kushala Daora is the usual go-to for wind. In Monster Hunter: World Chameleos is absent and in its place is the Corpse Coat Dragon and ruler of the Rotten Vale, Vaal Hazak. Apparently there is some vitriol between the two for that very reason, though due to the differing environments neither party has really act upon this rivalry. But while on the topic of poisons the Chameleos has done quite a lot to not lag behind its fellow monsters. To date, it's been adjusting its own diet to experiment with the difference in applied poisons. It's even taken to observing some of the gods in the House of Toxicity as a reference point, most of its attention going towards Salazzle and her ability to poison just about anything.
• Not the only chameleon based creature in the Pantheon. It had the chance of blundering in with Rango, Espio and the rest of the Chaotix after they went on to investigate a string of stolen items piling up by the number and the investigations led to the Elder Dragon. Some stuff happened, reports tend to vary wildly from source to source, but it's generally agreed upon that the group ended up hightailing it out of there with a number of bruises while the Chameleos emerged out of the woods with a very irritable mood. Despite the encounter it doesn't hold either of the two in any malicious or hateful regard. Just, at the very worst, mild annoyance.
• Flavor Text was stolen.
• Despite its emphasis on keeping a low profile compared to other monsters some deities were still drawn to it anyways. Dr Griffin, known more by his alias as The Invisible Man, was interested in the extent of invisibility Chameleos has displayed and has tried to study it for himself. Unfortunately for The Sociopath, Chameleos quickly learned the game he was playing and doused his position with poison. Cruella de Vil, curious by the comments regarding the curious hide of the Chameleos, hired Hunter J to bring the Elder Dragon to her doorstep. To its favor, H'aanit along with her fellow travelers were made aware of the plot and drove off the infamous poacher before it got a chance to target it. After informing the Elder Dragon it is genuinely grateful for what she did both in defending it and giving a heads up.
  • It wasn't just humans that wanted a piece of the Mist Dragon. Both Indominus Rex and The Goliath were noted to have a special interest in Chameleos after a chance encounter with the Elder Dragon from within the wilderness, mainly for their intelligence and stealth capabilities while still being able to hold their own in the end. I. Rex in particular has shown an interest in Chameleos' ability to turn invisible though the difference being her's is more of an unconscious action rather than something that can be activated by will or command.
• Supposedly, the Chameleos is the reason as to why the Shrouded Nerscylla swings on thin air. It just happens to pass by while the giant spider gains some ground. This can be neither confirmed nor denied though the scholars that help catalog the Monster Hunters find this theory honestly ridiculous.
• Flavor Text was stolen.

Being a huge Invisible Monster, i wonder what it's opinion on The Kaernk would be.

But other than that,

Wonder what the Chameleos would think of Coco and Killua since they’re immune to poison. Add that and you’ll get my .

.

I’m going to work on Jin Kazama soon, but before that, I want to do an another nomination.

• The Farmer of Stardew Valley, God of Farm Life Sims
  • Stardew Valley is exactly what the trope is about, in that the player character moved to Pelican Town and inherited his grandfather’s farm. In it, you need to harvest crop to make a living to expand your house and get new materials for exploring and those crops will help you make new products such as jams. You can also purchase animals such as cows and chickens and their own harvest can also make new products such as cheese. In each season, each crop is a product if it’s own season and you are expected to harvest the crops whatever the season it corresponds to. The crops and products you harvest will also help you expand your relationships with your fellow townspeople and they also help you heal your health bar if you ever explore to the dungeons to get minerals and defeat monsters to get their materials.

Second draft, got any ideas?

Falinks, Divine Squad of Preventing Your Own Escape. (The Formation Pokémon, Tairetsu)

• Potential House: Tactics and Strategies.
• Rank: Lesser Gods, borderline Intermediate under the effects of No Retreat or Dynamax, straight-up Intermediate when No Retreat is combined with Dynamax.
• Symbol: No Retreat itself◊.
• Theme Song: Route 8.
• Alignment: Chaotic Neutral.
• Gender: Mostly male, though one of them might be pulling a Sweet Polly Oliver (listed as genderless for clarity’s sake).
• Ability: Defiant.
• Moves: Close Combat, Zen Headbutt, Poison Jab, No Retreat.
• Portfolio: A Status Buff at the cost of not being able to escape, Attack! Attack! Attack!, Armored But Frail, Death or Glory Attack, Badass Adorable, The Dividual, Waddling Head, Cool Helmet.

• Herald: Bea.
• Allies: Alexander The Great, Ares, Khorne, Colonel Kilgore, The Soldier.

• Falinks, The Formation Pokémon is one of many that can be found in the Galar region, the six of them work together as one Pokémon. Teamwork is also their battle strategy, and they constantly change their formation as they fight.
  • These particular set of Falinks ascended because of a Fantastic Recruitment Drive held by Leonidas, where they proved themselves as Blood Knights by using No Retreat, a Status Buff that prevents them from escaping battle and gave Leonidas one Distortion World of a fight, convincing the king of Sparta to have them ascended to the seat of Burning the Ships.
• The Falinks have heard countless comparisons between them and Kirby, and deny any relations between Kirby’s species and them, calling the Pink Puffball a “Falinks” (translation: “Hippie”) and holding a grudge ever since.
• As they fight in and are named after the Phalanx Position, they are allies with Alexander The Great, as his father invented the technique.

First rough draft for G-Force, a group of guinea pig spies that were trained (not genetically altered in any way), had to investigate a businessman for technology that could prove troubling, and their main antagonist turned out to be a member of their team (The Mole was an actual mole). Looking for suggestions on what to add.

G-Force^members Darwin, Blaster, Juarez, Hurley, Divine Team of Animal Espionage

• Lesser Deities
• Symbol: A G inside an octagon
• Alignment: Neutral Good
• Portfolio: Talking Animals, Band of Brothers, Translator Collars
• Domains: Animals, Technology
• Heralds: Ben Kendell, Mooch the Fly
• Allies: Secret Squirrel, Perry the Platypus, Hammond
• Enemies: Guinea Creatures
• Odd Relations: Dr. Doofenshmirtz
• A special team of trained guinea pigs with collars to allow them to talk to humans, the G-Force is tasked with investigating corporate executive Leonard Saber to see if he’s been plotting anything suspicious. The team undergoes a lot of trouble to discover the truth, up to and including the fact that one of their members, Speckles the mole, has been plotting revenge from behind their backs. When it comes down to it, G-Force is able to make the most of their skills despite (or maybe because of) their small size.
• Some villainous businessmen were holding a meeting to discuss a product that would ensure they would get more supporters and drive their shared competition out of business. Some of those members didn’t realize that they were being spied on and even after looking around, the other members couldn’t find the intruders. Some time after the meeting wrapped up, all that was left was a few guinea pigs, who relayed the information over to their boss, who in turn transferred the data over to their clients so that they were aware of what the evil businessmen were trying to do to get rid of them. G-Force, with their small size and technological prowess, have since continued to help out others following their initial mission in the Pantheon.
• It didn’t take long for G-Force to get themselves acquainted with other animal spies in the Pantheon. The team found themselves in the company of Secret Squirrel and Perry the Platypus and all of them have made for a good team when it comes to handling specific missions in the Pantheon. G-Force was intrigued with what Secret had stored in his trenchcoat and the squirrel was kind enough to allow G-Force to use some of his weaponry for missions. As for Perry, seeing as how the platypus doesn’t really talk and how G-Force is only able to talk as is thanks to translator collars, the team considered giving one to Perry, but the platypus insisted he was fine without one. It hasn’t prevented them from helping each other out when they’re in trouble though.
  • Their interactions with Secret and Perry also helped G-Force get to know Dr. Doofenshmirtz, a scientist who knew Perry very well. Doof ended up in a meeting room where Perry and the other animal spies were at and (after being a bit perplexed at seeing guinea pig spies) introduced himself to G-Force. Knowing about his former background as a mad scientist bent on taking over the Tri-State area and having moved past that, G-Force has agreed to help Perry in making sure Doofenshmirtz doesn’t end up causing more trouble than normal. This also meant having to reprimand him in case something he creates ends up going out of control.
• One of their assignments resulted in them encountering a round mecha and after wanting to know who was inside it, Hammond popped out and from there, he and his mecha Wrecking Ball engaged in a talk with G-Force. Seeing a hamster take control of a mecha very well surprised the team considering their own expertise (and that unlike Hammond, G-Force didn’t undergo any genetic alterations to become the spies that they are) and while they would like to travel with Hammond if asked, they have plenty of missions to go after. That said, if Hammond and Wrecking Ball do end up getting involved somehow, they’re more than willing to aid G-Force and the guinea pigs are more than welcoming of another the rodent’s skills.
• At first, G-Force was excited to learn about other guinea pigs in the Pantheon, but it quickly turned into disgust after learning the full story behind the Guinea Creatures and their leader, Guinea Pirate. Them learning about the Guinea Creatures could not have happened at a worse possible time as another Guinea Creature invasion was about to unfold and G-Force had to spring into action to prevent a major disaster from unfolding. They eventually caught up with Michael Chertoff, who was plotting revenge for his previous loss and dismissed G-Force as complete failures of a guinea creature before transforming into Guinea Pirate. With the help of some reinforcements, G-Force was able to bring down Guinea Pirate and the rest of the invasion wound down elsewhere. Knowing first hand just how destructive the Guinea Creatures and their leader can be regardless of appearances, G-Force has sworn to play a role in containing them should any future break-out result.

G-Force means Gatchaman, and Gatchaman means Jetman!, perhaps mention Gai?

I don’t know what to add, I need feedback.

Edited by GeneralGigan817 on May 7th 2020 at 9:49:47 AM

@Falinks You should wait until you've written the whole profile, and then ask for suggestions.

@G-Force: That image is very unclear. I'll send you a better one.

Probably mention Nock Fury since they’re the one who governs all spies in the Pantheon.

I don’t see what is the connection from that and I couldn’t see what ables them to interact with each other because I couldn’t see what’s common between them.

Starting draft for Emma.

Emma Millstein, Goddess of Bad Lies

Emma and Celine as they appear in Cold Steel III ^note 

• Potential House: Pending.
• Rank: Intermediate Goddess
• Symbol: The butterfly symbol on her Master Quartz; Titania.
• Theme Song: Elin, the Hidden Village
• Alignment: True Neutral initially. Neutral Good after opening up to Class VII and resolving her duties.
• Portfolio: Bad Liar, Badass Bookworm, Magic Staff.
• Domains: Witchcraft, Reading.
• Heralds: All original Class VII members, Celine, Roselia.
• Allies: Mitsuki Hokuto.
• Rivals: Pending.
• Enemies: The Snatcher, The Wicked Witch of the West.
• The class president of Class VII and the top-scoring ace of Thors Military Academy, Emma Millstein seems like an ordinary book-loving girl on the surface, but in actuality, she is a Hexen Clan witch from the hidden village of Elin. She was orphaned at a young age and taken in by the clan's elder, Roselia, who would train her to be a proficient witch and prepare Emma for an important duty that all Hexen Clan witches follow: to guide Awakeners to their Divine Knights. At some point in her life, her adoptive sister Vita Clotilde left the clan after breaking an unspecified taboo, prompting Emma to search for her and hoping to bring her back. She was admitted entry into Thors in order to investigate the Old Schoolhouse, which is believed by her clan to host the Divine Knight, Valimar. Once she found who Valimar's Awakener is, Rean Schwarzer, she would guide him through the final trials in order for him to make a pact with the Divine Knight, thus resolving her duty. Even then, her friendship with Class VII has created an inseparable bond, and she would gladly help them in various Erebonian conflicts with her magic and knowledge as best she can.
• As part of her duty as a Hexen Clan witch, it's important that she keeps her true identity a secret. However, Emma cannot create decent enough lies to hide her skin, as her attempts constantly fall flat on their faces and end up becoming transparent honesty. She didn't try very hard to hide the fact that the black cat who follows her around, Celine, is her familiar, and outright reveals her name to Rean. And during their field study to Legram, while exploring Lohengrin Castle, she made little attempts to hide her natural sixth sense ability, prompting her classmates to ask if she is a priestess from the Septian Church. Emma just went with that because it was the only excuse offered to her. And those are just the few examples. Because of her penchant for honesty and being unwilling able to tell decent lies as part of her Character Development, she was admitted entry into the pantheon.

Lie based tropes tend to go in Trickery. Perhaps she could interact with other liars like Belial, Kokichi Ouma, Malty Melromarc, and Carcano M91/38. Luna Platz is also a Class Representative. Maybe interactions with the members of Witches and Wizards?

@Rlock

Dr. Hamsterviel is an alien being that looks like a hamster.

@GeneralGigan Then it sounds as if you need to take more time to think it over. We're here to offer ideas to enhance acceptable profiles. We're not writing them for you.

That's probably a good first step.

Edited by yugi195 on May 7th 2020 at 9:20:52 AM

Ok then, I’ll look to other Pokémon profiles for inspiration.

@Jale_Seigneur: There's also the fact that when I first named it No-s Mode while I was ascending Kenji Oja for Big First Choice, I got a because I didn't explicitly disallow it. I changed it to No-Thumbs Mode so that I don't get mired by s too early when I made it clear that I don't think it's ready yet. I'd rather be blocked from the start rather than when I've already made progress.

• Timon and Pumbaa are as strange a pair as one can ever find on the African savanna. The former, a wisecracking meerkat^note Suricata suricatta who dreamed of a better life beyond his colony's mundane existence. The latter, a lonely warthog^note Phacochoerus africanus with a big heart who other animals couldn't stand to be around due to his excessive flatulence. Upon meeting each other, the pair started a quest to find a place to call home; one with no predators, no rules, no responsibilities and most importantly, no worries. Or as a strange monkey once called it, Hakuna Matata. After several misadventures, Timon and Pumbaa eventually found what they had been looking for; a lush jungle oasis full of bugs to eat and fun to be had. Things were looking good for them... then one fateful day, while out bowling for buzzards, they discovered something that would change their lives forever. A young lion cub, half-dead in the sun-baked earth. They took the cub, named Simba, back to their home, and taught him the ways of Hakuna Matata, raising him into a strong male lion. But when Simba realized he had to take responsibility and return to the Pride Lands to reclaim the throne, Timon and Pumbaa were right behind him, aiding their friend/adopted son in defeating The Usurper king Scar and his hyena army and restoring balance to the Circle of Life. For their heroic efforts, they became honoured members of Simba's Pride, with Timon even being praised by his home colony for his actions, as well as bringing them to the jungle to keep them safe.
  • One day while out hunting for grubs in the jungle, Timon and Pumbaa spotted a delicious looking beetle and wandered off in pursuit, ending up in a forest full of plants and animals they had never seen before. They were then ambushed by a strange creature; a bipedal ape-like animal with a stone-tipped spear in one hand. She had been looking for a pig to eat, and the boar was just what she wanted. The meerkat would be used as a toothpick. But after giving chase and cornering them, Pumbaa let loose his "special power", easily incapacitating her and giving Simba enough time to rescue them both. The lion king explained that the two misfits had entered a realm called The Pantheon and after some negotiating, presented his old friends with a temple and position as Gods. Afterwards, they indulged in a fresh batch of grubs and lounged in the jungle, just like old times.
• It didn't take long for Simba's father Mufasa to learn of Timon and Pumbaa's arrival, so he decided to introduce himself to them. At first, the pair were surprised to see the old king alive and back in the flesh. That surprise quickly turned to horror as the two, Timon in particular, began to apologize profusely to Mufasa for not raising Simba properly, filling his head with their "problem-free philosophy" which got in the way of him learning from the past and becoming the king he was meant to be. Instead of being angry though, Mufasa just smiled. Though he admitted their Hakuna Matata wasn't a permanent solution, and they weren't exactly perfect, Timon and Pumbaa did rescue Simba from death, raised him the best they could, and gave him what he needed most at that time. Love. For that, Mufasa couldn't have been more grateful. He still checks in on the two from time to time, and will not hesitate to protect them from potential threats. In return, Timon and Pumbaa will occasionally chat with Mufasa and Simba about, well, everything.
• Their temple leads not only to their jungle dream home but also back to the Pride Lands. They like to go back and forth between both, mainly to visit Timon's family in the jungle. More often than not though, they've been seen in the Pride Lands helping Simba maintain his kingdom. It's also where they ended up becoming surrogate uncles to Simba's daughter Kiara and future member of the Lion Guard, Bunga the honey badger.
• Due to its' lush, awe-inspiring views, Timon and Pumbaa's jungle home attracts deities from all around the Pantheon. Chief among them, the fruit bat Batty Koda, the wild man George of the Jungle, and the Tama Hill tanuki clan. All of them enjoy the tropical setting and have even tried out their lifestyle, with the Tanuki especially getting in on the bug-eating action.
  • On another note, the rabbit Hazel was impressed by Timon and Pumbaa's bravery in defeating not only the hyenas and later the Outlander lions, but also for the former leading his colony to a better home, something Hazel could relate to. He sometimes brings his warren to the jungle for some quality relaxation, and while they might not eat bugs like the meerkats, they're still always welcomed to join in on the fun. The same applies to Bambi, who also gets in on the fun too, and whom Timon and Pumbaa are incredibly protective of. May have something to do with the fact the fawn lost a parent just as Simba did long ago.
• Timon and Pumbaa initially had difficulty adjusting to the Pantheon, due to all the two-legged creatures wandering about like they, as Timon put it, "owned the place." Simba explained these bipedal primates were called humans, and while some were definitely bad for the pair to be around, others they could get along with just fine. To demonstrate, Simba introduced his friends to Mowgli the Man-Cub, who was more than excited to make some new friends. Pumbaa instantly got along with the wild child, seeing him like Simba when he was a cub. Timon, on the other hand, took a little longer to get used to the boy, but eventually warmed up after learning that Mowgli not only enjoyed the care-free life - the Bare Necessities as he called it - but also defeated a tiger in his homeworld. To the little meerkat, having a tiger-slaying Man-Cub around didn't sound too bad after all. After that, the three have spotted hanging out with each other, with Timon and Pumbaa showing Mowgli how to enjoy life to the fullest...
  • ...Something that reminded the Man-Cub of his old friend, Baloo. Mowgli introduced the pair to the old bear and the meeting couldn't have gone better. Timon and Pumbaa quickly realized the similarities between their Hakuna Matata and the Bare Necessities and the four have been seen hanging around enjoying the good life. That said, Mowgli's panther friend Bagheera considers the two African species as a bad influence for the young human, and would rather not get involved in their shenanigans.
• While in the Pantheon, the duo couldn't help but notice a strange human with spiky hair wandering past, accompanied by an equally out of place duck and dog. Timon didn't recognize them, but Pumbaa instantly knew who they were, despite them no longer being a lion, bird and tortoise respectively. He called out to Sora, Donald and Goofy and ran over, thanking them for rescuing him and Timon from the hyenas in the past. The gesture was reciprocated, and even if they weren't African animals anymore they will occasionally step in to protect them from not only the Heartless, who were responsible for destroying their homeworld in the past, but also those who can control them; the witch Maleficent, her lackey Pete, and Master Xehanort himself.
• The pair were not happy to learn that Simba's uncle Scar was alive and in the Pantheon, as well as his follower Zira and former hyena goons, all of whom want a little payback/lunch. But they aren't the only ones. The two lions were joined by the royal Bengal tiger Shere Khan, who was already an enemy to Mowgli, and the crazed leopard Sabor. Both had tried to eat Pumbaa and Timon upon their first encounter but were stopped by Mowgli and Simba. The two cats have kept their distance but still plan on munching on some warthog... provided they can get past Pumbaa's gas. Said gas did come in handy when the python Kaa once tried to eat Pumbaa. It took the giant snake two weeks to recover from the gas inhalation.
  • Not long after the Kaa incident, Timon and Pumbaa were confronted by yet another lion - a bipedal Smug Snake named Prince John, who rubbed the pair the wrong way, especially when they drew comparisons between him and Scar. Unfortunately for John, he made the mistake of calling Pumbaa a pig. One headbutt later and the three became quick enemies.
• Mowgli was quick to introduce Timon and Pumbaa to some of his friends and mentors; a group called the Nature Preservers. Some in their ranks were humans raised in the wild, such as the Ape-Man Tarzan, who was perfectly fine with the two and was impressed by them raising a lion from cubhood. Unfortunately for the two, Mowgli's other mentor was San, the infamous Princess Mononoke and the same woman who tried to hunt them when they first arrived in the Pantheon. While she's gotten past the whole "getting farted in the face" bit, she still sees the two lower mammals as irresponsible role-models, not only for Simba but for Mowgli as well. The sentiment was echoed by San's wolf mother Moro, who felt their "problem-free philosophy" is a detriment to the boy's potential and has warned them to stay away from each other. Not that they would listen.
  • Moro's fellow god, the white boar Okkoto, shares her sentiments. While he was impressed with Pumbaa's ability to fight despite his small size, he not entirely sure if he cares for the warthog's lifestyle and friendship with Timon. Still, he has offered Pumbaa a place in his boar clan should he ever choose to aid in killing the humans. Safe to say, Pumbaa's not entirely up for it.
• As wild animals living in a lush ecosystem unaltered by human activity, it should come as no surprise that Timon and Pumbaa oppose those individuals who either want to destroy the environment for their own gain or harm animals for, again, their own personal gains. These include the likes of Cruella DeVil, Pokémon Hunter J, Mr. Burns, and the destructive spirit Hexxus. They take it very personally. After all, they once tried to make a lakeside resort by damning the river supplying the Pride Lands with water but were convinced otherwise by Simba.
  • Their wild antics also attracted the attention of several humans who found their friendship and lifestyle to be rather fascinating. The first was Eliza Thornberry, who met the pair while her father was out shooting a documentary on meerkats. At first, they were surprised she could speak fluent animal despite not being raised in the wild, but after some conversing the three reached an understanding, with Timon even offering to show the Thornberry how meerkats go about their daily business, along with watching over her brother Donnie. They certainly like her more than Steve Irwin and Sir David Attenborough; the former having tried to wrangle Pumbaa like a crocodile and the latter disturbing their peace with his constant narration. That said, Timon and Pumbaa do have a healthy enough respect for them. After all, Irwin did rescue Pumbaa from a crocodile and Attenborough for his advocating for wildlife and environmental protection. The two can live with that... just as long as Attenborough doesn't bring up the drongo incident with anyone.
• One time while performing a show at the House of Theatre, Timon attempted to eat Jiminy Cricket in front of a live audience. Pumbaa quickly stopped him but sadly this isn't the first time it happened. The meerkat has tried on numerous occasions to catch the cricket for his lunch, even trying to convince Pinocchio to hand him over as he doesn't need a conscious now that he's a real boy. Pinocchio wasn't fooled by this, but despite keeping his friend from being eaten, the former puppet still hangs out with the two and is learning about the Hakuna Matata lifestyle, much to the cricket's annoyance.
  • Speaking of Jiminy, the Houses of Insects and Arthropods both oppose the two insectivores, barring their gates to prevent any further casualties. Not that they would try again; most of the House's inhabitants are either too large or too dangerous to feed on. Even those invertebrates who don't live in either house despise the pair. On one occasion, Timon was flexing his tunnelling skills - being a Meerkat and all - and wound up digging right into the domain of Anub'arak. Suffice to say, Timon was lucky to escape with his life.
• One time, Timon was accidentally transported to Agrabah as he was about to chow down with Pumbaa, and was forced to help a human named Aladdin save his love, Princess Jasmine, from a giant hourglass. Even after being transported back, Timon still stops by Aladdin's temple to check up on the newly wedded couple but lately, he and Pumbaa have been hanging out with Genie instead.
• Despite sticking around in the Pride Lands, Timon and Pumbaa have had multiple adventures on other continents, meeting with other animals and humans along the way. These adventures also land them into plenty of extra trouble, especially since they ended up meeting Jack and Annie on one such adventure. The circumstances are vague as to what happened but the four ended up having to work together to get back to the Pantheon. After that, Timon offered to teach the kids about the Hakuna Matata lifestyle... too bad Annie was too afraid of bugs to fully get in on their lifestyle.
• It was through Mowgli and Baloo that Timon and Pumbaa met the human swordsman Ren and his ursine "master", Kumatetsu, the latter taking a bit of a liking to their Hakuna Matata lifestyle. It also turned out both master and student were incredibly competitive, and one day decided to partake in a contest to see who can eat the most. Timon suggested they try a snail-slurping contest to up the stakes. At the end of the day, Ren, Kumatetsu, and Timon were passed out on the ground, with Simba still the reigning champion. Pumbaa warned them all it was a bad idea beforehand, but they didn't bother to listen.
  • Surprisingly, Ren and Kumatetsu's contemporaries, Hana and the Wolf-Man, came to respect Timon and Pumbaa. It had nothing to do with their Hakuna Matata, but rather it was because of them adopting and raising Simba after his father's death. Knowing all too well the feelings the young cub went through, the young couple were more than happy to see the work the two mammals went through. Pumbaa was more open with his thanks but Timon simply brushing it off, saying it was nothing.
• Much to their surprise, Timon and Pumbaa learned they had human counterparts living in the Pantheon. Their names were Rosencrantz and Guildenstern, and they once had been close friends with Prince Hamlet of Denmark. Well, before their unfortunate execution. The four comic characters, though coming from vastly different worlds and having different fates, immediately noticed the striking similarities between their stories, so much so they often swap places during performances in the House of Theatre. It was through the humans that Timon and Pumbaa encountered Prince Hamlet... and were quite uncomfortable with his descent into madness and causing more death than was necessary, with Timon realizing the prince was what Simba could've been had he and Pumbaa not found him. They've distanced themselves from the prince, and alongside Simba, occasionally stop by the temple of Hamlet's former beloved Ophelia to tidy up the place.
• While Pumbaa is a kind soul at heart, the one thing you should never ever do around him is call him a pig. Unless you're his friend, the normally calm suid will transform into a rampaging mass of tusks and hooves that can topple even the largest of predators. Very few in the Pantheon dare to even mention that three-letter word around him, with some opting to go with "chubby". Which is also a mistake.
• For some particular reason, every time Timon says "Stand by Me", bad and bizarre things happen - mostly to Pumbaa anyway. That being said, it has happened to other deities less often. Timon isn't even aware of it, but a few deities don't want to be near him as a result of this.
• And yes, whenever a God needs a distraction they often call upon the pair to "dress in drag and do the hula." It's actually quite an effective strategy, even if it often leads to the two nearly getting killed on multiple occasions. That said they can't use it all the time especially when they're more realistic, but they've found a workaround for it.

so that you can wait less.

@nightelf that's unfortunate. I'm sure we've all in a similar position.

I'm deliberating wether i should replace Arvis with General Sheperd from Call of Duty: Modern Warfare for Cavalry Betrayal.

My only argument is that Sheperd's betrayal has become legendary among gamers, check youtube comments and other forums and you will often find that Loose Ends is a fondly remembered mission for the gut punch of the ending that is the Cavalry Betrayal.

So what to do? Does Arvis have an alternative to use?
