Trope Pantheons Discussion

Go To

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

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

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

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

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

    Templates 
Template for adding a new deity:

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

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

Template for Dominions profiles:

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

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

Template for Treasure profiles:

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

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

In any case…

CUTIE MARK CRUSADERS PANTHEON DEITIES!! YAY!!

Apple Bloom, Scootaloo, and Sweetie Belle, Deities of Finding Their Destiny (The Cutie Mark Crusaders, Gabby Gums | Apple Bloom: Apple Blossom | Scootaloo: Scootachicken | Sweetie Belle: Sweety Bell)

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/cmc_trope_9174.png
The CMC in the Distant Finale 
  • The Mane Six goddesses, Applejack and Rarity specifically, voiced their concern on not only why were the fillies allowed into the Pantheon but also where they were to be placed, but after being told it would be the House of Ambiguity, they felt more at ease.
    • Sometime later, after… certain chaotic incidents, the Mane Six decided to move them to the House of Prophecy (details below) since it would be much safer for them. That doesn't stop Wreck-it Ralph from babysitting them every now and then.
  • Their temple takes the form of their tree house base, at least on the surface. On the inside, it's considerably larger, containing several amenities for self-sustained living and all other needs for any child deity who has no business living independently already from their parents (if they're in the Pantheon already under different positions if they aren't Heralds). Naturally, there are teleportation systems installed so that Rarity, Applejack, and Rainbow Dash can reach their temple in a jiffy from their own temples.
  • Ever since their arrival, the Pantheon has had a rash of various accidents as they attempt to obtain their cutie marks. Despite the constant reprimands of Applejack, Rarity, and all the House of Justice, they never seem to stay put.
    • Twilight Sparkle once told a cautionary tale about one Asagi Asagiri whose desire to become a main character, which mirrored the Crusaders' desire for their Cutie Marks, put her at risk of removal from the Pantheon. Instead of heeding her warning, the CMC saw Asagi as a potential ally and wish to have her join them, especially since Asagi was able to find a place in the House of Theater. Asagi, impressed to see the Crusaders able to pursue their dreams and get a happy ending, sees them as an inspiration for her future game.
  • Aside from Fluttershy, there are only two other gods that can manage to make the trio obey: Fred Rogers and Carl Fredricksen. The former has shown the patience to truly comprehend their needs (plus his puppet friends are wonderful teaching aids), while the latter formed a special bond with the young fillies as they remind him of Ellie and her spirit of discovery and adventure. The fact the CMC enjoy listening to his tales is an added bonus.
  • Whenever a loud buzzing hum along with the steady sound of wheels are heard approaching, everyone clears out of the way knowing that Scootaloo in her scooter and the rest of the Crusaders in their wagon are on their way to their next plan to obtain their cutie marks.
    • Her speedy maneuvering and stunts have attracted the attention of fellow deity on wheels, Subaru Nakajima. Both acknowledge their corresponding skills on scooter and skates respectively and have been known to have friendly races in the House of Travel.
      • The duo of racers became a trio after PaRappa demonstrated his skateboarding skills, impressing the two. Parappa also inspires the Cutie Mark Crusaders to continue their trek to finding their Cutie Marks by always saying, "You gotta believe!"
  • Due to their shenanigans, some gods in the House of War who have a penchant for sarcasm have taken to calling them a Cuban Missile Crisis (since it shares the same first letters as CMC). Other derisive/humorous CMC acronyms have circulated across the Pantheon.
  • The Cutie Mark Crusaders stay far away from Queen Chrysalis after an incident where she kidnapped them to lure the Mane 6 into action.
    • They also stay away from Discord since they were the ones who (accidentally) let him loose in the first place (although theories assume that Discord's prison already was weakening and their scuffle was the straw that broke the camel's back).
      • However, certain reports have shown that after he was reformed, that Discord did try to use his powers to help the Crusaders get their Cutie Marks. To make a long story short, Discord's assistance failed to get the CMC their Cutie Marks, but the CMC appreciated his help and even offered to make him an honorary member of the CMC, Discord has has shown to be surprisingly grateful and has been on good terms with the trio ever since.
  • The Mane 6 have a vested interest to have the crusaders NOT decide their destinies are to be bad guys. As of such, they make certain that any attempt for villains like Kane or Palpatine to make them an Unwitting Pawn to theft or evil is met with a quick hoof to the face, and a stern talking to of all the Crusaders. Knowledge of the existence of the Incubators is to be kept from them AT ALL COSTS. And now with Homura Akemi on the loose, that warning still applies.
    • They also make special note that Apple Bloom and Scootaloo stay FAR AWAY from Hansel and Gretel (preferably Hansel), because Hansel's voice can sound so similar to Rainbow Dash (and to an extent Applejack) at times and that they are known to butcher people who get close to them.
  • They once tried to get many gods together by brewing up what was a "love potion." However, they soon found out later that they brewed love poison making all of their would-be targets (whose names are confidential at this moment) to start giving too much sugar coated sweet talk. This resulted in them having to get multiple gods to restrain the people who drunk the poison away from each other for a whole hour. As a result, they had to clean up most of the mess they started throughout Pantheon in regards to separating the lovers.
    • Then there was that time that they made a gossip column under the name of "Gabby Gums". That also ended in failure when they started spreading gossip on some of the more villainous gods and hurting other gods' feelings (to the point that when they mentioned how Fluttershy had "tail extensions", many gods saw that was an absolute low blow). This wasn't a failure because what they were saying wasn't true, per se. It was mainly because Lex Luthor, God of Villain with Good Publicity was upset they were intruding on his position of laying smear on other gods.
  • The fact that they represent a concept of not representing a concept has broken a few brains in the pantheon.
  • One day, the crusaders visited Jack and Annie and were amazed at their tree house giving them the ability to travel into books. The group is currently trying their hardest to make their own magic tree house while Jack and Annie have stated that it was all right for them to hang out in their own as long as they don't go jumping into any of the books inside. The groups find it kind of hilarious that Jack and Annie's world is normal yet their treehouse is magic, yet the Crusaders live in a magical land but time travel is known to be a pretty difficult spell to master (then again Jack and Annie's treehouse was enchanted by Morgan le Fey).
  • Vanellope von Schweetz does her best to help the Crusaders find their cutie marks and was amazed at how Apple Bloom created her own cart. Apple Bloom, for the most part, has been humble about her skills in building. The Crusaders have lots of play dates with Vanellope whenever she arrives, under the supervision of one Wreck-it Ralph.
    • Ralph is now a part-time bodyguard for the Cutie Mark Crusaders whenever the trio visits the House of Ambiguity. He nearly had to fight off Gangrel when Luna (back when the CMC were gods in said house) accidentally scared them off by snarling at them because the CMC only wanted to know who was ascending into the House. This also didn't stop the Cutie Mark Crusaders to become "CUTIE MARK CRUSADER VAMPIRE WRESTLERS YAY!!!" Let's just say that Gangrel has put a "No ponies allowed" sign on the temple door after that, although he did admit that at least they didn't state that he and Luna lived Gothic lifestyles.
    • However, as time went on, as well as a lot of shenanigans, the vampire wrestler as he has grown to truly love them as close friends. While it's a pretty odd friendship (them three adorable fillies, him a vampire wrestler), many of the Gods in the House of Ambiguity has fully embraced this change and have offered to babysit the Crusaders during their free time. Many gods (mostly wrestlers) aren't sure what to make of this… especially when BROKEN Matt Hardy got to them and… done crazy terrible things to them.
  • Much to their sadness, their fourth member, Babs Seed, eventually earned her cutie mark. This meant she could no longer stay in the Pantheon and was sent back to the mortal plane. The Mane Six pleaded before the Judge to allow her to stay, but the decision was final. He did say, however, he will try his hardest to make sure the remaining three Crusaders stay in the Pantheon if by any chance they ever earn their cutie marks. He does have a special spot in his heart for them, after all. She might ascend on her own, however.
    • Right after that news, an unknown god kidnapped Apple Bloom and chucked her into the TV World. Naturally, the other Crusaders were quick to call for help. Thanks to The Machine, their cries were eventually heeded, the kidnapper was punished, and the Investigation Team was notified to stage a rescue, with Applejack insisting she be at the forefront (thankfully, despite the high chance it could've happened, the rescue op was not interrupted by an appearance of Shadow Applejack). By the time they found her however, Apple Bloom had encountered her Shadow, and it was in the process of tormenting her in a series of layered nightmares about getting her cutie mark. With their help, the filly was able to wake up and come to terms with her fears (as well as obtain her own Persona, to boot).
    • After that incident, Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle have been quick to volunteer to face their true selves in the TV World as well after hearing of some of the awesome things Apple Bloom has been able to do with her new Persona. The Investigation Team are now having headaches trying to explain the dangers of doing that, and the consequences if they ever decide to ignore their Shadow should they not like what they see. Thankfully, the trips were a success. Unfortunately for them, these Personas can only be used in the TV World. but the Crusaders are hoping to use their new powers to help others in the near future.
    • Another glimmer of hope came regarding Babs. While she cannot be a deity like the other three, she can serve as a herald, since getting a cutie mark doesn't necessarily mean no longer being a Crusader, as she has set up a branch in her hometown Manehattan.
  • As a result of acquiring Personas, limited though they may be, they've gotten mostly acquainted with the other canon Persona-users in the Pantheon, mainly the Investigation Team, their collective "little sister" Nanako (whom they've already met among the other kids of the Pantheon), Ken, Ulala (through Maya Amano talking about her), and their own High Priestess Maki (who's also had a similar crisis, on top of being used by the DEVA System) even before her own ascension.
  • After helping their former Sitcom Archnemesis Diamond Tiara undergo a Heel–Face Turn, they were finally rewarded with their cutie marks. At this, several gods, some evil, some trolling, and some that were just fed up with all the trouble they've caused since their ascension, demanded that the three be stripped of godhood as they finally found their purpose in life, only for the Mane Six and the Judge to stop them. The Judge proclaimed that while it is true that they have their cutie marks, they received them by helping others find their purpose in life and are therefore true epitomes of trope godhood as they now have the job of helping other deities and followers find their purpose in life. Further protests were squashed literally by the Judge slamming an enormous gavel down on them.
    • And with that maturity, they have since renounced all notions of evil, as well as know to refuse Kyubey immediately.
  • The trio tried their best to befriend the vampire wrestlers — back when they were all Ambiguity gods — but after a long time of trying, failing and then getting to the point of grown accustomed to each other, Gangrel and Luna Vachon decided to leave the House of Ambiguity and move to the House of Undead, deciding that they wanted nothing to do with Lucifer or the GUAC at all. While happy for the move, the Crusaders learned that many of the vampire gods aren't as friendly as the wrestlers, so they won't be able to hang out as often. What followed was a huge cry-fest in the House of Prophecy for the Crusaders while the wrestlers promised that they could still see each other after all is said and done.
    • It took a lot of soul searching and the trio realized that, while they liked being close to the vampires, a long distance friendship was no longer reasonable and the groups weren't compatible. So the two groups parted ways, with the Crusaders eventually getting along extremely well with a trio of wrestlers called The New Day who offered to dress up as the Brood to ensure that things are in good hands. With that, the two groups are known spreading positivity, optimism and fun whenever and wherever it's needed.
  • The Crusaders have recently opened a detective agency and go about solving crimes in the Pantheon. Many gods were amazed at how they had a destiny all on their own trying to stop a villain from obtaining a powerful artifact known as the Helm of Shadows, forged by Princess Luna back when she was Nightmare Moon because the door to obtain the artifact could only be unlocked by three ponies with identical cutie marks. Better yet, they did this without the interference of their sisters and using nothing more than their wits (and a special device that could rewind time from Twilight Sparkle). Gods are now willing to bump them up to Demigoddess status now because of this. And, for those who are wondering, the mission with the Helm of Shadows came before they opened the Detective Agency.
  • Now that the finale of their series has finally occurred, there were a few last gifts bestowed to the trio.
    • One was a special trinket shaped like a certain wishing flower. This worried them, given the last time they used that flower, but they were assured that the shape was the only thing similar to what the trinket is meant to do. Namely, it grants them access to their older forms seen in the Distant Finale for three times a day and with a time limit of 60 minutes each before being forcibly reverted to normal.
    • Another was a special scooter that has a connection to the flower trinket. When the CMC turn into their older forms, this scooter sizes up accordingly so that Scootaloo can still drive it without worrying about being too heavy for it.
    • The third was a wheelbarrow with similar connections to the flower trinket as the scooter in that it becomes bigger. This is not only in the event that Scootaloo still needs to carry the other two CMC, but for carrying cargo or other passengers (besides carrying kids on their backs now that they're big enough and strong enough to do so).

  • Exclusive to Apple Bloom:
    • Felix has gotten interested in Apple Bloom's skills in carpentry and wishes to tutor her, but Apple Bloom has refused. She's more interested in potion making, and sometimes goes to the House of Magic to practice her skills.
    • Speaking of potions, she still remembers her time in Potions class at Elysium Academy under Severus Snape. While it's true that he knows his art very well, his mean attitude has left her with a bad impression of him.

  • Exclusive to Scootaloo:
    • Scootaloo is slowly becoming friends with the Katawa Girls of the House of Love, Emi in particular, as the two of them share a great enjoyment for high speeds. Lily has lent a kind ear to Scootaloo's fears that she may never fly. Although Scootaloo at least appreciates Lily's comforting presence, it's pretty clear she's not taking Lily's words to heart, instead expressing a deep envy of her and how far she's gotten in life despite her inability to see.
    • For the longest time, many gods believed that Scootaloo was an orphan or suffered from Parental Abandonment. It was later revealed that her parents traveled to exotic lands to find rare wildlife for scientific research and she stays with her aunts. Scootaloo has become absolutely enamored by Steve Irwin for this regard because he reminds him of her own dad, Snap Shutter.
    • Despite what one believes, Scootaloo actually likes the idea of swimming since it's the closest that she'll ever get to flying. She gained a friendship with Melody, who wished to become a mermaid in order to swim beneath the water and hopes to be able to find away to swim in the various waters of the House of Nature.
    • For reasons pertaining to her disability (in a diminutive body part) and refusal to let it let her down (most of the time), Marlin is reminded of his son Nemo whenever he catches sight of her.

  • Exclusive to Sweetie Belle:
    • Sweetie Belle has been given hundreds of invitations from the House of Music so they can hear her sing. While originally shy, she's now gained the confidence to sing more, but she prefers show tunes.
    • She was once banned from the House of Food after her attempt at "cooking" breakfast made people question her abilities. Particularly how she was able to burn juice.
  • Despite being a unicorn filly, she surprisingly physically strong. She once dragged a cart that's positively crammed with Rarity's suitcases and other junk uphill, albeit with visible effort. Fortunately for everyone else, she's much less likely to resort to hooficuffs than her friends, so that's usually not a worry.

Applejack, Goddess of Instant Knots (AJ, The Most Loyalest of Friends and Most Dependable of Ponies, Applesmack, Cowgirl, Workhorse, Applejohn, Mistress Mare-velous, Apple Jewel, Appleshack, Apple Chord, Orange Poppy)

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/my_little_ponyes_applejack36.png
  • Having encountered the Flim Flam Brothers several times, she despises all malicious con artists, and has extreme difficultly in trusting more ambivalent ones such as Leverage Consulting and Associates.
  • Ever since the ascension of Ronald McDonald, and by extension the establishment of the McDonald's franchise all over the Pantheon, Applejack now has another headache to take care of; the fact that one of their food items has the same shorthand as the name of her and Apple Bloom's eldest brother; Big Mac(intosh). Especially since it gives room for puns to be thrown at her family.
  • One day Carcano M1891, with her sister Carcano M91/38 in tow, approached Applejack for some advice. Mainly for Ceno on being a bit more honest, given that she's a Compulsive Bad Liar.

Yet another update on Barry "Go outside and be eaten by a monster" Burton

Barry Burton, God of Big Revolvers

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/barry_9.png
Barry Burton in Revelations 2 
  • Potential House: Firearms
  • Lesser God
  • Symbol: Besides his Weapon Of Choice, the S.T.A.R.S. logo
  • Alignment: Lawful Good with Neutral Good inclinations
  • Portfolio: Alliterative Name, Badass and Child Duo With Natalia, Badass Beard, The Big Guy, Gentle Giant, Gun Nut, The Hand Cannon Is His Weapon Of Choice, Large Ham, Mighty Glacier, Papa Wolf To Moira, Took a Level in Badass
  • Domains: Law, Survival, Loyalty, Family, Protection, Weapons
  • Heralds: His wife Kathy, his youngest daughter Polly and his adoptive daughter Natalia.
  • Allies:
  • Enemies:
  • Pities: The Bakers
  • Barry Burton was one the members of the Special Tactics and Rescue Service and part of the Alpha Team that was sent to investigate the mysterious cannibalistic murders in Arklay Mountains. Barry was the weapon supplier of the team and one of the few who survived the whole ordeal in the Spencer mansion alongside fellow Alpha team members Jill Valentine and Chris Redfield and Bravo Team's rookie Rebecca Chambers. Ubenknowns to most of his teammates at the time, he was threatened by Captain Wesker to erase all the evidence in the Spencer Mansion that linked to him and act as his right hand man, otherwise he would harm his family. While Barry had to comply, he later regained his senses and turned on Wesker at the last second. Since then he has been deeply ashamed of his actions and decided to atone by helping form the BSSA and combat bioweapons.
  • Barry was happy to finally join his comrades and as the last of the Spencer Mansion survivors he felt he had big shoes to fill. For starters, he was recommended by Jill herself after feeling that she needed to have one of the comrades that always watched her back and the one that nicknamed her Master of Unlocking after all. Given Barry's tendency to carry huge revolvers that pack quite the punch. In Jill's own words, "He has THIS!".
  • Naturally the Pantheon is home to many dangerous individuals and monsters, many of which were from Barry's own universe. For starters, both Albert and Alex Wesker were one of the first that Barry had unfortunately crossed paths with and he still holds a grudge to both, Albert for forcing him to do his dirty work while with Alex he hates her for almost killing his daughter Moira and his adoptive daughter Natalia Korda. Not to mention the several former Umbrella operatives and B.O.W.s roaming around the Pantheon but Barry is prepated to take them down.
  • Barry is a proud father and a family man, threatening or harming his family being a quick way to get in his bad side and as Jill can attest to, he is not someone you want to mess with. But his history with his eldest daughter Moira is a bit complicated ever since she accidentally shot her sister Polly, both Barry and Moira drifted apart but reconciled when Barry had to save her from Alex Wesker. He gets along with similar deities who would do everything for their family, with special mention going to Guile and Bryan Mills, who also have ties to the force like Barry does.
  • Wields a powerful 44 Magnum called the Colt Anaconda and it packs quite a punch, being able to down beasts like the Hunters or even the Tyrant in one shot (although it has a chance to whiff, like that one zombie Barry had to waste 3 shots to kill. He would rather not talk about it). It was only natural that other revolver enthusiasts would be interested in Barry's Weapon Of Choice and he ended up befriending Ryo Saeba, an unlikely one considering how the two are nothing alike outside of being quite the jokers. He is also impressed by the T-Dolls Contender and Thunder for being named after their respective weapon, ones that pack even more punch than Barry's Magnum to boot. He likes to mentor them on the effectiveness of revolvers, especially against living things and wonders if there is another T-Doll in their unit named after the Colt Anaconda.
  • Him and Frank West are good pals but the reason Frank even bothered to approach Barry was to ask if he owned the Jill Sandwich chain. Barry was left confused that someone would even name a restaurant after one of his silly jokes but he just roll with it and clarified he had no idea such chain existed.

@ Ai: Admittedly its a bit too late to talk about it, but she'd be foes with Shuma-Gorath. As one of the Many-Angled Ones, they conquer universes by killing Death and turning the universe into a cancer. There's also a canon of the SCP Foundation where they killed Death by accident and have to live with the consequences

Megami Tensei let me adopt this. What do you think so far?

Stephen and Lucy Steel, Divine Representatives of Marriages Between Elders and Minors (Steven Steel, Lucy Pendleton)

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/steven_steel.png
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/lucy_steel.png
  • Adopted from: M1gami Tensei
  • House: Age and Youth (House of Life and Death)
  • Demigods, Lucy is a potential Overdeity with her Stand, Ticket to Ride
  • Symbol: The Steel Ball Run trophy
  • Theme Song: Last Train Home
  • Alignment: Neutral Good
  • Portfolio: Old Man Marrying a Child (actually an Intergenerational Friendship), Ugly Guy, Hot Wife
  • Domains: Marriages, Age, Friendship
    • Stephen: Entrepreneurship, Races
    • Lucy: Probability, Attraction
  • Allies: Johnny Joestar, Gyro Zeppeli, Jonathan Joestar, Erina Pendleton, Robert E. O. Speedwagon, their universe’s Josuke Higashikata, Jotaro Kujo, Jolyne Cujoh, Solid Snake, Madoka Kaname, Roland Deschain, Jesse McCree, Raiden (Metal Gear), The Boss, Theodore Roosevelt
  • Enemies: Funny Valentine, Dio Brando, Enrico Pucci, Steven Armstrong, Roose Bolton, Ramsay Bolton, Randall Flag, rapists, The Enclave
  • Opposes: Diego Brando, Solidus Snake
  • Arriving on horseback, Lucy and Stephen Steel reunited with Johnny and Gyro once they heard Funny Valentine returned in the Pantheon. They’re grateful but Johnny is miffed that he owes both of them a few more debts. They managed to ascend under a rather Squick title much to their chagrin. Once one hears of their backstory though, it becomes more understandable. Stephen met a child Lucy when he was going through a rough patch in his life, to which she gave him the basic rundown of the Steel Ball Run race which got him back on his feet. They met again years later but not in the best circumstances, as Lucy’s father was forced her to be pimped to a gang. Stephen hatched a plan to rescue Lucy, resulting in their marriage. Fortunately unlike some old people, Stephen doesn’t treat Lucy as a wife and the two have a strong platonic relationship with one another.
  • Applies to both of them
    • Were initially confused why there are multiple JoJos and Zeppelis, another Dio, another person who had the surname of Pendleton, and a guy named Speedwagon who looks a bit like Mountain Tim. Johnny explained to them the original JoJo universe, getting them up to speed. Though they wonder why Johnny had to include the part about the dancing gangsters. They get along with the mainline Joestar lineage well enough. They also noted how much Jonathan’s descendants contrasted with him by a mile, something that irks Jonathan until now.
    • The two were pleased to see a number of heroic cowboy deities were in the pantheon, who's convictions and geniality remind them of Mountain Tim. Given the era they come from, fondness for cowboys comes with the territories. They were also glad to learn of Theodore Roosevelt and his achievements as president from 1901-1909. It's not know if T.R exists in the SBR universe or if he becomes president, but he'll certainly try to.
    • Both are uncomfortable around Solidus Snake for being similar to Funny Valentine in some ways. The know he had good reasons for his villainy but those parallels don’t allow them to have a higher opinion on him. They find themselves siding with Solid Snake and Raiden because of it.
    • The idea of Armstrong ever becoming president is a worrying idea for them, regarding his vision for America to be a chaotic counterpart to Valentine's vision. What Randall Flagg did to the part of America he took over was particuarly hellish for them, as was the Enclave who might be even more xenophobic than what Valentine's America would be.
  • Exclusive to Stephen:
    • Stephen Steel is the organizer and host of the Steel Ball Run race, a great horse racing event. He's been interested in the various horse deities in the House of Ungulates. Centaur Man was annoyed that he wasn't allowed to participate since he's not technically riding a horse.
    • Wondered how the Pantheon’s economy works so he went to the House of Commerce to check. There he met Nigel West Dickens, a merchant from the Wild West who showed him the ropes around the place. Stephen knows that Nigel is likely trying to wrap him in some scheme but considering he got wrapped into an incident about a monkey dressed as an alien that destroyed his reputation for awhile, he’s sure he can handle whatever Nigel can cook up.
    • Is a bit miffed that there are still people who still thinks he’s a Dirty Old Man for his wife alone. He shares this with Jon Arryn who did get a wife to have an heir and the two became drinking buddies. At least they aren’t the Boltons. He's pretty creeped out by Walder Frey by, along with generally utterly contemptible and a Slimeball, being a very dirty and very old man who marries young girls.
    • Bonded with Foo Fighters over their hairstyles being similar. They really don’t like it when someone makes fun of their hair and call them “eggshells”.
  • Exclusive to Lucy:
    • Lucy gained the Stand, Ticket to Ride once the Holy Corpse absorbed itself into her which practically makes her invincible. As the Holy Corpse is locked up, she doesn’t have access to this power and people whether or not it actually is her Stand or not.
    • Made friends with Haru Okumura, who was going to be married but got out of it. Also made friends with Sakura who Lucy is pretty surprised at how stable she is after all the hardships she went through in life. She and Stephen met Madoka Kaname and Lucy sees Madoka as a little sister she never had. Madoka is surprised that she and Lucy are closer to the same age than it seems.
    • Once got pregnant with the head of Jesus. No, we are not joking. She got better though and can safely say she has experienced a virgin birth. Ned Flanders went into confused panicking at how unorthodox this was to his fundamentalist Christian faith, however he remains friendly to Lucy herself. The House of Faith wants to understand how it works.
    • Still doesn’t like Diego. Sure, the Attempted Rape wasn’t actually from him but a Diego from another reality, he’s still an asshole through and through. Still, neither of them are as bad as the OG Dio Brando. And she hates rapists due to Funny Valentine's Attempted Rape of her.

[down] The Blitz Team has Heroic Neutral, but the other two tropes aren't taken. Even so, I think having them together under Team Title is good enough.

Well, I guess it depends on what tropes aren't already filled. I read in a previous post on this forum that Edelgard could be Young Conqueror, since she's only 18 when she starts her war against the Church and begins conquering the whole continent. As for Claude and Dimitri, I'm not entirely sure. Maybe Dimitri can have Eyepatch After Time Skip. (That's one of his defining features in Part II. Except in the Crimson Flower route, for some reason.) As for Claude, Heroic Neutral if it isn't already taken? (Since he prefers to stay out of the war in Part II most of the time, but is still firmly a good guy). Again, it depends on if these tropes are taken or not; I can't shift through the entirety of the pages to find them...

Got some ideas. What do you think?

  • Eos, Goddess of Deities Dismissing Mortal Consent: The Titaness of the dawn, Eos was a Love Goddess cursed by Aphrodite for bedding Ares to have an Extreme Libido. Which she fills by taking away young handsome men as her boytoys. Some object but being a goddess they have to put up with it and she's dismissive. And one of her willing boyfriends, Tithonus, wanted immortality but she goofed up by not keeping him young
  • Khepri, God of Scarab Power (House of Insects)-an Egyptian god often associated with Ra, Khepri is a scarab beetle who is associated with creation and renewal of life, being a god of the rising or morning sun. This comes from how the beetle rolling its dung ball is reminiscent of the sun. Sometimes conflated as an aspect of Ra
  • Wilhelm Ehrenberg, God of Freakish Albinos: The result of incest, Wilhelm was an albino hurt by the sun. Loathing his abusive upbringing and having to find shelter, he was driven to villainy and became a Vampire Vannabe murder who joined the LDO

@Three Houses: You should've seen the first idea for Team Title; the entire alumni under those three Houses. I was one of the ones to suggest limiting it to the leaders. And now there's talk it might be too much?

On a more humorous note, Three Houses already has a representative in the Pantheon; Lysithea von Ordelia, High Priestess of Twilight Sparkle.

I have university work that is due on Wednesday, so I'm not gonna be here for the following two-three days. So I'll just leave a nomination set for now.

P.S: I wanted to do this earlier, but after I had to announce John Hammond for Just Think of the Potential!, I took a backseat on that mainly because announcing a set after would just feel tacked on.

  • Bianca Piper and Wesley Rush - High-School Dance
    • Oddly enough, the trope isn't all too significant to the lead characters aside from Bianca having to write about it regarding what it means to her. Might be foreshadowing, given that the High-School Dance is done in Homecoming during the climax. The dance ultimately becomes important in that Bianca finally gets to express feeling for and be in a romantic relationship with Wesley
  • Kieth Nelson and Watts - Childhood Friend Romance
    • The film is centred on two characters who have known each other since childhood and by the time they are reaching adulthood, Watts is in love with Keith, despite him falling for another popular girl. Eventually, Keith and Watts do get together with the other popular girl harbouring no grudge against them.
  • Akira Takizawa and Saki Morimi - Naked First Impression
    • Akira and Saki first meet in front of the White House... while Akira is completely naked. These kickstart the events in the anime as Akira is revealed to be someone with no memory about himself and the reason he was naked was because he is on the run from authorities and that he is selected as No XI in the Seleção. His cell phone contains 8.2 billion yen and he must use them to save Japan, lest he gets executed for failing.

I can probably put some dosh on the table that any SMT protagonist would be content in fighting the various demons that Spawn goes against. After all, they are demon slayers. I know someone wanted to work on Gran, but I'm erring on the side of caution due to the fact that he's easily Overdeity despite being a 15 year old boy.

@Crimson: [tup]s for your ideas. I wanted to propose reworking Domon Kasshu to include Rain Mikamura for Childhood Friend Romance, but you have the stronger claim.

Next time on Dr. Phil Straddles The Border...

Anyone that would be a Worthy Opponent to Fenix? Any alien warriors that would give him a fight?

I have returned!

Fenix, God of Plasma Cannons (Praetor Fenix, Steward of the Templar)

Fenix as a Dragoon
Fenix as a Zealot 
Fenix inside the Dragoon 
  • Potential House: Energy Weaponry
  • Intermediate Gods
  • Symbol: The Dragoon
  • Alignment: Lawful Good
  • Portfolio: Back from the Dead, The Big Guy, Blood Knight, Man in the Machine, Number Two, Proud Warrior Race Guy, Number Two, Repurposed as a Dragoon
  • Domains: Fighting, Courage, Death, Resurrection, Machines, Weapons
  • Allies:
  • Enemies: The Ascended Zerg, Amon, Alarak
  • Worthy Opponent:
  • Teeth-Clenched Teamwork: Sarah Kerrigan, Alexei Stukov
  • Fenix was a courageous protoss templar that relished on battle and honor and worked as then Executor Artanis' Number Two. Fenix was killed following an attack by Zerg hydralish and his Psy-blades malfunctioning but thankfully he was brought back as a dragoon, where he continued to fight the Zerg invasion of Aiur while meeting allies who would become his closest friends like Jim Raynor, a terran so valorous that Fenix considers him an honorary member of the templar. Unfortunately, he met his end after being betrayed by Kerrigan and Raynor swore to avenge his death ever since...until he was later found as an Purifier who held all of his memories, but it turned out to be someone else.
  • Fenix was confused at first by his ascension, since he found the pantheon to be a place unlike any other he has ever been but his worries turned to joy when he saw his old Protoss comrades as well as his good friend Raynor welcoming to the pantheon after becoming the god of Plasma Cannons. He was a little bothered by the fact that for him to represent the title he had to be brought as a Dragoon, greatly preferring to return to his original body but he understands that it's a necessity and doesn't hold any hard feelings for the people in charge who brought him over like this.
    • Though he rejoices upon meeting his old Protoss comrades in the Pantheon, he cannot say the same with Alarak. He views him as a dishonorable craven, pirate, and heretic, all of which Alarak finds the jeer amusing coming from a Dragoon.
  • However, thanks to some help from the deities in the House of Technology and Life And Death, Fenix was able to regain his original Protoss body and can access his Dragoon Form if he requires it. He has been grateful for that and swears that he would return the favor to those kind deities however he can. That said, if he happens to be slain in combat, he always returns as a Dragoon, he has been trying to change that part of the Pantheon resurrection system but he seems unable to do it for the moment.
    • He meets his robotic doppelgänger that people were confusing him for. Upon meeting the Purifier, Fenix is rather honored that his legacy still lives on and that he wish for a glorious combat alongside him.
  • He hasn't forgotten what Kerrigan did to him in his mortal life. However, when his Terran companion, Raynor, told him that things are different and there are much worse things than her. Though Fenix is still vindictive toward the Queen of Blade, he decides to put aside his own feelings if it means defending the Khalai.
  • A proud warrior, he is ready to challenge any alien warrior that could prove to be good sport for him.
  • Do not remind him of his first death at a hand of the Zerg because his psi-blade malfunctioned at a very terrible time. He claims that it never happened before and anyone who tries to bother him about it will receive a reminder of how these blades work.
    • Also, do not shame him by humiliating his pride with a Spawn Broodling in his second death. Anyone that denies him a honorable death will be given the same suit.
  • "I fear no enemy, for the Khala is my strength. I fear not death. For our strength is eternal."

Ok, I’ve missed some stuff, but here’s my full proposal for Caleb

Caleb, god of A Lighter Shade of Black

https: https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/6f463ea3_3692_4202_a58a_612b54fc5a10.png
Caleb in Blood 2 official art

  • Rank: Intermediate God

  • Symbol: A bloody handprint at 45 degree angle.

  • Theme: Unholy Voices

  • Alignment: Chaotic Evil

  • Portfolio: Deadpan Snarker, Evil Laugh, Gunslinger, Sawed-Off Shotgun, Shotguns Are Just Better, Badass Longcoat, Bond One-Liner, Guns Akimbo, Even Evil Has Loved Ones, Fedora Of Ass Kicking

  • Domains: Double Barreled Shotguns, Killing Gods, having a raspy and creepy voice

  • Allies: Doomguy, Lo Wang, Duke Nukem, Postal Dude

  • Odd Friendships with: Rorschach, John Marston

  • Enemies: Chrenobog, Really anyone who opposes Chaotic Evil, Cults.

  • Born in 1847, Caleb lived a life of gunslinging ever since he was 17. Since then, he felt nothing but bloodlust for slaughtering the innocent for seven whole years...until he met Ophelia. For her, he would do anything, including giving up his ways of gunslinging, and joining a cult that worshipped the dark god Chernobog. When they were in this cult, both of them rose to the position of Chosen, with Gabriel and Ishmael. Then, Chrenobog turned on them, taking away Gabriel, Ishmael and Ophelia, while banishing Caleb to an eternal slumber of death. Then, around 50 years later in 1928, Caleb rose from his death as a zombie, swearing to go on a Roaring Rampage of Revenge for Ophelia, only with a pitchfork. As he slowly gathered weaponry and skills, he had reached Chrenobog, and, after an intense battle, slaughtered the dark god.

  • Caleb apparently doesn’t see himself in mirrors much, as interacting with a mirror in the game will cause him to shout a little bit in surprise, before realizing he’s looking in a mirror.

  • Caleb is never seen without his hat.

  • Caleb acknowledgement of Duke Nukem might imply that Duke Nukem and Blood take place in the same universe, and that Duke might’ve been killed in a time travel incident.
