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.

@Nightelf: Refusing help is not the issue here. You should've known that I got in trouble in this thread after I outright admitted to everyone here that I never intended to work on the profiles myself, which is in direct violation of the thread's rules. Menace and Faso said they found me annoying enough to no longer accept any of my ideas or drafts, and Wootzits gave me a proper kick. So for you to pitch in and say that I can use you as a proxy is very unprofessional, and one I found in bad tastes. It's like you want to get me in more trouble than I already am, and I don't appreciate it.

That is all I have to say on the matter. I don't want to come back on this thread again, and I'm better off attending to my own projects elsewhere.

What kind of a Noodle Incident is this?

[down] Wow. That is something. I'm...not gonna ask further.

On another note, I added Phelps and LA Noire to Take Two's Pantheon list.

Edit: [down] Also, yeah, that seems a little excessive wanting all profiles burnt like that...

[up] This... is a bit complicated, but Divineflame did complete some profiles before, though they quit because they lost interest. They also tried to request that all the profiles they made were to be deleted before they left, which we didn't comply to. Later, they returned, but they didn't finish their profiles before quitting. For the record, I don't mind their ideas for deities, but I do dislike their "can't commit to this project, better self-destruct" attitude. It got pretty annoying, culminating in their leaving a few days ago. Though Nightelf approaching them to be their proxy after they said that they were stepping out of the project was rather inappropriate and badly timed.

@ nightelf: Fix Fic should go to an actual fanfic anyway. Preferably a licensed one. I think Thavidux had an idea involving an AU Euphemia

How many profiles are we planning to merge into group profiles anyway?

What should I add to these Pokemon?

Drednaw, God of Jagged Mouths (The Bite Pokemon)

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/834drednaw_1.png
Click here  for Gigantamax Drednaw
  • House: Facial Attributes (House of Personal Appearance)
  • Lesser God (Intermediate as Gigantamax Drednaw)
  • Symbol: Its nasty jaw
  • Alignment: True Neutral
  • Ability: Strong Jaw
  • Gender: Male
  • Moveset: Jaw Lock, Crunch, Razor Shell, Head Smash
  • Portfolio: Jagged Mouth, Based Off An Alligator Snapping Turtle, Water and Rock Type, Man Bites Man, Use Your Head, What It's Jaw Lock Does, Blastoise Suspiciously Similar Substitute, Has A Nasty Attitude, Hates Grass Types, Super Mode
  • Domains: Biting, Turtles, Monsters, Water and Rock
  • Varied relationship with: Sharptooth (Vitriolic Best Buds with the film version, enemies with the novel version)
  • Allies: Ash Ketchum, Bowser, The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Sobek, Ramon, the Koopa Troopas, Feraligatr
  • Odd Friendship with: Groundskeeper Willie
  • Rivals: Blastoise
  • Enemies: Team Rainbow Rocket, Alduin
  • Opposes: The House of Plants
  • Avoided by: Master Oogway
  • Early in the Galar region, one can encounter the turtle Pokemon Chewtle. It evolves into the Water/Rock type Drednaw. Based off the common and alligator snapping turtle, Drednaw has a serrated jaw like its real life inspiration. And it gives a nasty bite, even able to shear through steel rods. Drednaw has a nasty and ferocious attitude that makes it hard to train.
  • Its signature move of Jaw Lock prevents the opponent from leaving. As Gigantamax Drednaw, it can attack with a Rock Dyanamax move and set up Stealth Rock simultaneously. Blastoise accuses Drednaw as a rip-off, what with it being a water turtle. The two compete over who is the superior turtle/tortoise in the pantheon.
  • Drednaw first arrived in the pantheon taking Bender's "bite my shiny metal ass" literal, which thanks to its bite force left a serious mark. Rather than getting mad, Bender calmed down as he has a fondness for turtles, so much so that he'd lay his life down to save them. Plus Drednaw is a bit of a jerk so he got along with Bender because of his own jerk-ness. Bender at least didn't introduce Drednaw to alcohol, though he did make Drednaw his partner.
  • Tends to associate with fellow turtles/tortoises. Having a nastier attitude Master Oogway doesn't like Drednaw all that much, but this means Drednaw's more willing to hang out with Bowser and his Koopa Toopas. That's not to say that he won't help out the heroic Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, as Drednaw is morally neutral and could go either way. Just never bring a Green Thumb near him.
  • Drednaw also likes to hang out with alligators and crocodiles, as it is based on an alligator snapping turtle. Granted, it isn't really an alligator, but Drednaw doesn't care and they share a habit of biting and being temperamental.
  • Oddly enough, Drednaw is also friendly towards Groundskeeper Willie. They both come from the British Isles, though Galar is England and Willie is Scottish. Despite his insistence that "Englishmen and Scots are natural enemies", and the time turtles attacked him, Willie came around to Drednaw's temperamental attitude.
  • Like most Pokemon, Drednaw doesn't care for Team Rainbow Rocket(although he's more "meh" on Archie). He doesn't care for Alduin either. Understandable for anyone, but for Drednaw it's because Alduin is a fearsome and deadly Draconic Abomination that reminds the Bite Pokemon of Eternatus. However while Eternatus is Ambiguously Evil, Alduin is wholly depraved and deserves Drednaw's contempt more than the Gigantic Pokemon.
  • Drednaw likes to show of its ferocious "teeth" (technically its jaw), and soon came to compare this with Sharptooth. Normally, Sharptooth is more a bad-tempered predator than anything so while the Bite Pokemon is creeped out he does find some kinship in their nasty bite. However the novel incarnation of Sharptooth is a serial killer in dinosaur skin that Drednaw wants nothing to do with.

Dragapault, Goddess of Throwing Your Allies As An Attack (The Stealth Pokemon)

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/887dragapult_3.png
  • House: Unorthodox Combat (House of Combat)
  • Intermediate Goddess (her offspring are Demigods)
  • Symbol: Purple darts
  • Alignment: True Neutral
  • Ability: Infiltrator
  • Gender: Female (the Dreepy are male)
  • Moveset: Dragon Darts, Phantom Force, U-Turn, Lock On
  • Portfolio: A Ghostly Dragon That Was Once An Ancient Species, from Magikarp Power to Infinity -1 Sword, Fastball Special With Its Children As Darts, Fragile Speedster, Jet Prehistoric Salamander Dragon Ghosts
  • Domains: Dragons and Ghosts, Darts, Archers, Jets
  • Interested in: Artemis, Eros
  • Allies: Ash Ketchum, Tyrantrum, Rexie, Rodan, Relicanth, The Heroic Protectors of Family, Black Cat Mantaray 5-4
  • Complicated opinion on: Daenerys Targaryen, Chuck Brown
  • Rivals: Nergigate
  • Enemies: Team Rainbow Rocket, Alduin, Sindragosa, The Dovahkiin, The Meg, The Child Abuse Supporters, The Sorceress (especially her Dreepy)
  • Annoyed by: The Ghostbusters
  • Fears: Beerus (Dragapult; the Dreepy less so)
  • The psuedo-legendary of Galar is the Dragon/Ghost type Dragapult. Part catapult, part prehistoric amphibian and part stealth bomber aircraft, the species was once extinct but came back as a ghost. They fire their Dreepy offspring as darts at an incredible speed, something of which they're thrilled at. It's an extremely fast Pokemon, but defense-wise is lacking compared to other psuedo-legendaries.
  • Technically not one deity, but three, however the Dreepy kids stuck with their parent. The Dragapult that ascend is female, and her children are male. Being a devoted mother Dragapult has contempt for the Child Abuse Supporters and became a natural ally of the Heroic Protectors of Family. She'll tear into anyone who'd harm them. Some ask how responsible it really is for her to use them as Weaponized Offspring, however the Stealth Pokemon has stated that Dreepy are perfectly safe being jettisoned like that.
  • Dragapult is both disgusted and terrified by the Sorceress, due to her plan to rip the wings off baby dragons and kill them. Granted the Dreepy line doesn't have wings, but that doesn't stop Dragapult from being worried. This eventually led to her teaming up with Spyro to kick the Sorceress' ass. Due to his heroic endeavors and having saved dragonkind on a number of occasions, she chose to be her partner.
  • Because of how her Dreepy enjoy being shot out as fast speed, they like to join in with the Angry Birds in being catapulted and try to match Sonic the Hedgehog's speed. Their mother watches over to make sure they don't get into too much mischief. Baby Bink likes playing with the Dreepy because they, link Bink, are rather fearless. Of course the Dreepy have more of an excuse by being ghosts and thus being less dangerous for them.
  • Along with Giratina, Dragapult holds the dubious distinction of being weak to both its types. This is why it relates to Nergigate, though the creature's aggression leads to them being more competitive over their strength than being friendly. In part because Ghost is a secondary typing, Dragapult doesn't find herself relating to the ghosts of the pantheon, though she shares an annoyances of the Ghostbusters and a fear of Beerus due to his ability to destroy even ghosts.
  • Besides Team Rainbow Rocket, Dragapult opposes Alduin due to being a cruel and power-hungry Destroyer Deity in the form of a dragon. Basically a way worse and more evil Eternatus to her. She doesn't get along with the Dovahkiin for obvious reasons, nor does she like Sindragosa. The Stealth Pokemon is technically a Dracolich like Sindragosa, but her ice powers and Woobie, Destroyer of Worlds nature is not something Dragapult wants to tango with.
  • Her opinions of Daenerys are varied. She is the Mother of Dragons after all, however Dany has bad memories of a Dracolich due to the Night King turning Viserion into one. On the other end, Dany became a Fallen Hero, though only in one continuity and her fate in the books is unclear. Dragapult has a varied opinion on Kite-Man as well; she enjoys joining him in flight and considers what happened to his son a tragedy, but doesn't much care for his criminal side.
  • Dragapult can be seen in the House of Ranged Weapons, testing both her Dreepy and her signature move of Dragon Darts' aim. She's come to enjoy testing her archery skills against Green Arrow and Hawkeye. Dragapult is also intrigued by the arrows of Artemis and Eros/Cupid, though tends to refrain from too much interaction with the two because of what Greek gods are like. The idea of love arrows is particularly interesting for Dragapult, who might be able to combine Dragon Darts with Attract through Eros' teachings.
  • Was once a prehistoric Pokemon, and is based off the Diplocaulus or "hammerhead salamander" of the Permian era. As such, she tends to drift in the House of Prehistoric Beasts. Dragapult finds the Meg terrifying and ferocious, perhaps because of fear from her formerly aquatic ancestry, and certainly repulsion at the Meg's willingness to devour her own offspring. Dragapult is perfectly happy to hang out with the likes of Rexie and Rodan, though.
  • Dragapult's design(well, its head) is also based on the B-2 Spirit aircraft, which is why she can be seen flying high in the House of Air-Based Travel. She particularly enjoys flying with Black Cat Mantaray 5-4.

Really really rough draft for AA-12 and Vector.

AA-12 and Vector, Goddesses of Perpetual Gloominess (Vector: Vivi)

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/900px_aa_12.png
AA-12
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/900px_vector.png
Vector
  • Potential House: Introvert Flaws
  • [tup]s:
  • Lesser Goddesses
  • Symbol: Their namesake firearms with AA-12’s being beside lollipops and her shields while Vector is with her incendiary grenades.
  • Alignment: Neutral Good
  • Portfolio: Ridiculously Human Robots, The Eeyore, Stone Wall (in different ways)
  • Domains: Androids, Firearms (specifics below), United States
    • AA-12: Automatic Shotguns, Insomnia, Candy
    • Vector: Submachine Guns, Fire
  • Followers:
  • Allies: G36, S.A.T.8, Contender and Thunder, AUG, Carcano M1891 and Carcano M91/38, TAC-50, Chihiro Fujisaki, Iris.EXE, 9S, 2B, Hikari, Eeyore
  • Rivals:
  • Enemies: Teseo, The Enclave, The Grineer, Father Elijah
  • Respected by/Respects:
  • Pitied by/Pities:
  • Opposed by/Opposes:
  • Conflicting Opinion:
  • High Priest:
  • Heralds: MP7 and PP-90
  • A PMC like Griffon and Kryuger has amassed quite the number of T-Dolls. Quirky as some... okay, no, quirky as a many of them most are quite friendly or approachable at the very least. A tsundere or two here, a lazy bum or two there. Alas, AA-12 and Vector are not among that group of dolls for the two of them project their own downcast auras in their own little ways. Hard to work with personally, definitely, but not so much professionally. You'll find they're quite good at what they do in the company. Better hope you can roll for them and make the investment too.
  • (ascension, Chihiro, Iris.EXE, 9S, Teseo)
  • (9S, 2B)
  • (Eeyore, Hikari)
  • (evil militaries, The Encalve, The Grineer)
    • (evil machines)
  • (Father Elijah)
  • AA-12 only:
    • Possessing not only an irritable mood and an even sorer one when things don't quite go her way, AA-12 is not easy to get along with. She's all too aware of her poor social skills (ex. she tried to shoot someone upon being asked to swim) and places a great amount of importance in the late night talk radio she listens to for relationship advice, as the bags under her eyes have quite clearly indicated. Hard to miss them. More than likely it also feeds into said mood and poor sociability and perhaps even her addiction to sugar considering how easily she gets sick without it. Granted, she also gets sick from something as simple as a greeting or dressing up to be prim and proper but again, poor social skills. If one didn't know any better you would think AA-12 is some sort of hikikomori though this doll is quick to prove she's no good-for-nothing slacker.
    • Physical violence is just not her thing. To her, it's quite uncivilized and primitive and the use of it is indicative of one's character. Guns are exempt from this, however. In fact, they're much of the opposite in her eyes. For that reason much of the House of Weapons disappoints her as they greatly outnumber those in the House of Firearms. Expect her to get into disagreements with Obi-Wan Kenobi over this topic.
    AA-12: I don't understand what's so civilized about a laser blade that's used for bisection and decapitation.
    • (House of Food)
    • “It’s so idiotic to use physical violence like a primitive being. An advanced doll like myself should obviously solve problems in an advanced way.”
  • Vector only:
    • Radiating a pessimistic aura, one that can be felt in just about everything she says, Vector is also not that easy to get along with. Apparently, she's been this way ever since she was rolled out of the factory and into the brave new world. She is just a weapon as far as she is concerned, as the codename referring to the weapon she was Etched after quite clearly indicates. It's hard to grasp her heart though Vector's mindset is not unreasonable. She's cold, not heartless, and not only is Vector capable of shedding tears but will be a lot warmer to those who are more vulnerable emotionally. And ultimately Vector does cherish the friends she has, even if she doesn't quite wear her emotions like a sleeve.
    • She has a nickname, you know: It's Vivi. It was originally coined by her persistent and more cheerful comrade in arms, PP-90. At one point in the stress of things she snapped at her to stop calling her that among other issues but after one near-death experience involving a maniac with a scythe and make-up later they were both on good terms again. Vector even lets PP-90 call her Vivi though by that point it probably her just relenting. Still, progress to her heart was made.
    • (Chiaki Nanami)
    • (Pyromania, The Pyro, Firefly) She's a SMG grenadier type T-Doll with her bread and butter being the incendiary grenades. As a result she's often thought to be as a pyromaniac
    • My origins, my prototype... are all meaningless. After all, I’m just a tool that follows orders.”

Here’s the third draft for Grimgor.

Grimgor Ironhide, God of Phonetic Dialogue Interpretations (Warchief Grimgor Ironhide, DA BEST)

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/868e393989de04425a3dbb517ee9d7b7.jpg
  • Intermediate God
  • Symbol: An effigy of Gork or Mork
  • Theme Song: His theme from Total War: Warhammer
  • Alignment: Chaotic Evil
  • Portfolio: Blood Knight, Ax-Crazy, The Berserker, Arch-Enemy (To the Dwarves and Archaon), The Most Feared of the Warbosses, Genius Bruiser, Large and in Charge, once found out that Victory Is Boring, World’s Strongest Orc, Inexplicably Awesome, Asskicking Equals Authority, Screaming Warrior, Believes in Leadership through Strength, One-Man Army, Alien Sense of views towards Other Races, Evil Has a Bad Sense of Humor
  • Domains: Orcs, Fighting, Speech, Conquest
  • Heralds: The WAAAGH-mongas of Greenskins (Gorbad Ironclaw, Gorfang Rotgut, Azhag the Slaughterer, Wurrzag da Great Green Prophet, Grom the Paunch, Snagla Grobspit, Gittlla da Hunter)
  • Followers: Any other Orcs he can find and get to work with him
  • Allies: Warboss Ghazghkull, Sauron
  • Ambiguous Relationship: Skarsnik
  • Confused by: Waluigi, Thrall, Rexxar, Killian Experience
  • Enemies: All other Warhammer deities, but especially Emperor Karl Franz, High King Thorgrim Grudgebearer, Archaon the Everchosen, and Malekith the Witch King, Aragorn, Legolas and Gimli
  • No one knows how or when Grimgor Ironhide came to be. But what is known is that Grimgor set out to work making the largest WAAAAGH he could, enlisting or subjugating every Orc he came across. His army, lead by him and his personal regime of Black Orcs called Da Immortulz, would win many battles and destroy many settlements in a brutal campaign. Eventually, during Archaon’s invasion, Grimgor would duel with the Everchosen. The Orc very nearly won, but Archaon, in desperation, would summon a mighty daemon which ended Grimgor’s life and forced his army to disband.
  • The Pantheon was very peaceful one day until deities heard a huge series of footfalls approaching. Before long, hordes upon hordes of Greenskins, lead by the most famous of their kind, would invade the Pantheon in one of the greatest WAAAAGHs their race had ever performed. Grimgor, flanked by Da Immortulz, picked out anyone he perceived to be a good fight and battled them in duels while his Orcs laid waste to any temples they could find. Grimgor’s invasion went quite well, but the Black Orc soon came across trouble as the various deities of the Old and New Worlds put aside their differences to fight Grimgor’s army. In a battle that lasted an entire month, the Orcs were finally defeated, but during that time, a cunning goblin had written papers adding Grimgor and his closest generals to the Pantheon under Funetik Aksent due to the way the Orcs speak and passed them under everyone’s noses. Thus, the deities in the Pantheon were left with no choice but to ascend Grimgor, who gloated that he had "fooled every'un".
  • The other races of the Warhammer universe all hate Grimgor and his barbaric ways, and thus usually are the first to challenge him when he tries to go on another WAAAAGH. Some of his most frequent opponents are as follows:
    • Emperor Franz and the Empire have long been assaulted by Orcs, including most famously by Gorbad Ironclaw, one of Grimgor’s heralds, who very nearly destroyed their capital of Altdorf had it not been for a series of stupid decisions by his Orcs.
    • High King Thorgrim is another foe for the Orcs. His Dwarves have written many grudges in their book due to the Orcs constantly attacking their holds, and Thorgrim is willing to battle the Orcs as many times as it requires to settle them all.
    • But perhaps the two biggest targets Grimgor has his eyes set upon are Archaon and Malekith. Though he briefly worked with the two, Archaon, as mentioned, was the one who managed to kill him (but just barely), while Malekith was the one who advised Archaon to attack his army in a plan to kill two birds with one stone. Grimgor seeks to get back at both for this scheme.
  • The scale of Grimgor’s initial invasion impressed Warboss Ghazghkull, under whom Grimgor had been serving as a Follower until making his move. Ghazghkull quickly began allying himself with Grimgor, placing his Orks to guard his temple of Black Crag and to assist him during any WAAAAGHs he might attempt. For the most part, Grimgor believes that though Ghazghkull has superior tech, he is just another WAAAAGH-monga, albeit a more valuable one.
  • Grimgor was surprised to see that Skarsnik had managed to ascend before he and the other Orcs could and set up a temple. While Grimgor treats the rest of his WAAAAGH-mongas as close henchmen, he has a complicated relationship with Skarsnik due to him being a Goblin. That being said, Skarsnik is quick to assist Grimgor during any of his invasions, as nothing gets Orcs together like a good WAAAAGH.
  • One day, Grimgor came across Waluigi practicing saying "WAAAAAH". Grimgor became agitated, saying, "Yoo ain’t doin’ it right, ya git!" and began showing him how to say "WAAAAGH". An all out shouting match on how the two perceived their words to be broke out, until, eventually, Grimgor became bored of arguing with Waluigi and left. As for his options on further WAAAAGHs towards Waluigi, Grimgor views him as not threatening to his armies at all, just calling him a "pointy eared humie".
  • Hearing of other Orcs in the Pantheon made Rexxar and Thrall decide to try to speak with Grimgor. However, all Grimgor cares about is fighting and conquering. Thus, when the two tried to bring up non-violent solutions to his problems, he had some Squigs chase them out of Black Crag, telling them that they "ain’t orky enuff". Grimgor is still baffled that these Orcs and their followers don’t want to go on WAAAAAGHs, believing that no Orc has an ounce of good in his heart.
  • During one instance where Grimgor and Da Immortulz were out looking for a fight, Aragorn, Legolas, and Gimli began to attack them, recognizing Grimgor and his Orcs to be no better than the Uruk-Hai of Sauron’s army. However, Grimgor was a much tougher foe than your average Uruk, and thus fended them off, telling them, "Don’t come back, ya humie, stunty, n’ pointy eared gits!"
    • From them, Grimgor also learned of the presence of Sauron, who not only was on good terms with Ghazghkull, but also had Orcs as his underlings. Grimgor approached Sauron shortly thereafter, and though he was at first put off by his close resemblance to Malekith (including having an underling named the Witch-King), he soon got over it and vowed to help Sauron in exchange for more fighting and loot. His Orcs also became comrades to the Uruk-Hai, believing them to be just as bloodthirsty and powerful as "da bestest big ‘uns".
  • Killian Experience began claiming that Grimgor once helped a new Everchosen named Melvin in battling the Dwarves- and by that he meant all the work as the Chaos armies stayed behind due to the cold weather of the mountains. This plan backfired after giving the Orcs wine, which incited a class war between the Orcs and the Goblins. Grimgor’s reply to all of this was that he claimed it was rubbish, noting that Melvin is "a stoopid name for da Evachosen".

[up] I think it's worth mentioning squigs and how their relationship can have a positive effect on Orcs like Grimgor. For battle-crazed beings like him, Orcs do come to genuinely appreciate and care for their pet squigs. Heck, an Orc may look after one another.

I think Grimgor should be Neutral Evil. Yes, he's always looking out for fights, but apparently, Orcs don't seek destruction for the sake of it. They also have some sort of mentality regarding Might Makes Right and The Social Darwinist, which is why Grimgor is the leader of the Orcs simply because he's the strongest.

Orcs appreciate a Worthy Opponent every now and then, and Grimgor might pay his respect if he fights against someone who can give him a tough time.

I need a way to properly describe the whole 'you have always been the caretaker' riddle in a simple flavour text. Otherwise, very early draft of the Overlook Hotel.

Prototype mode

The Overlook Hotel, Unholy Seat of Haunted Hotels

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/the_overlook_hotel_6.jpg
The Hedge Maze 
  • A resort hotel with spectacular mountain views located in the Colorado Rockies nearby the small town of Sidewinder that is famous for various gangland hits, suicides and murders that have happened there.
  • Symbol: The hotel's logo
  • Alignment: Open to interpretation; but definitely Evil
  • Portfolio: A Haunted Hotel, Mirrors are Everywhere, Eldritch Location, Built Over an Indian Burial Ground, Has a Hedge Maze On the Outside Grounds
  • Domains: Hotels, Horror, Ghosts, Murders, Ghosts, Temporal/Spatial Anomalies
  • Sacred to: Jack Torrance and its ghostly staff and visitors. Ghosts regardless of type or alignment are also free to visit.
  • Unholy to: Everything that lives, including Jack's family and Dick Hallorann
  • Similar Locations: Gregory House, Hotel Pánico, The Bates Motel, Hotel Ruenheim, The "Castle"
  • Welcome to the Overlook Hotel, an abode for those wanting a peaceful getaway in the Colorado Rockies! It's a wonderful place, full of large, comfy suites, a fully-stocked kitchen, ballroom and amenities...except not really. This idyllic lodge was built on top of an Indian burial ground and that unfortunate decision led to countless unexplained deaths, suicides, gangland hits and suspicious changes of ownership. It was under the charge of one Stuart Ullman that Jack Torrance became the place's winter caretaker (snowstorms pretty much destroy public access to the place). And isolation does not do wonders for an alcoholic father's mind. It was closed after Torrence fell insane and froze to death in the hedge maze outside and later burnt down from an exploding boiler when his son Danny was possessed after killing cultist Rose the Hat there.
    • The place technically already existed in the Pantheon as Jack's temple, but concerns of reckless attacks on his more powerful residents (especially King Ghidorah) forced a move to the Great Plains of Dominions. Electric fences have been installed to prevent unauthorized entry. What is left of Jack's temple is a halfway house on standby for if he ever gets back into the sub-house.
  • An anonymous caretaker is employed weekly (with two in the winter season) to monitor the place and make sure whatever's in there (including Jack) doesn't get out, and burn the place down if need be. The few that are known include Rainbow Dash (she's had experience), Larry Daley, Ayumi Shinozaki (caretaker of the Book of Shadows in Maximum Security) Stanley Kubrick and its creator Stephen King. And that's without taking into account the ghostly horrors that roam its hallowed hallways..
    • Delbert Grady was the last winter caretaker, and his time there culminated in him 'correcting' his family in a drunken rage when his daughters tried burning the place down. His two daughters now roam the corridors looking for children to play with. Visions of their bloody corpses appear whenever someone comes into contact with them.
    • A very
  • A snowcat is nearby for if the caretaker gets cold feet.
  • One thing's for sure though: The hotel attracts people with the 'shining' ability, meaning those with the ability to hear people's thoughts and contact them from far away. For those who don't have this ability and are otherwise unrelated to those who do, the ghosts are invisible to them. It's pretty obvious that deities who push their investigations too far will get killed anyway (and Jack is definitely still half-alive) so don't try your luck.

[up][up] I'd say the Hotel can be seen as Chaotic Evil to most deities, given that it is a Genius Loci that causes death and destruction because it can.

On another note, apparently PT Imp Group, an ascended character from Kantai Collection, was somehow not listed on the Pantheon Kantai Collection page, which I fixed just now.

To be fair, I didn't know that that was actually considered a "forum crime".

Volunteering to be someone's proxy, I mean. I've never ever been one before. I did not coerce Divine Flame 100 to it or force it. I just offered to be of assistance.

They only had to turn me down once and I would've let it go. If I had asked again (oh dear, did I ask twice?), then they could tell me off and report me here or the admins for online harassment. Instead they reported me here and made it look like this mess.

I'm serious here. I didn't know that kind of behavior was frowned upon.


@Clovis: Oh, right. Now that we're accepting fanfic versions of characters (Abridged!Kirito and Asuna and Rationality!Harry Potter), I guess the way's open for that. Just need to find one that's big enough.

@rmpdc: Huh? I swear he had, under a trope pertaining to the Three Laws of Robotics.

Anyone know anybody who'd be allies exclusively to a certain CMC besides Scoots?

Okay, who's ne—

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.
  • Gordon Ramsay's legendary temper (and restraint around kids) got put to the test the day he met up with the Cutie Mark Crusaders coming into his Temple screaming, "CUTIE MARK CRUSADERS MASTER CHEFS! YAY!!!" What happened next is between him, the CMC and the other Equestrian gods.
    The CMC: We're sorry, Mr. Ramsay.
    Gordon: …That's okay, kids. Uh… let's forget about this, alright?
  • One day, the CMC 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. And their shenanigans gave toned down considerably to everyone's relief.
  • 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.

[up] You don't necessarily need to find a fanfic character if your sole intention is to fill the Fix Fic position. I'd argue that you focus on suggestions you already have at the moment and cool it with new suggestions. I only suggested the Overlook Hotel earlier bc I was sick of the drudgery of character profiles. Why not switch gears to a Dominion for once?

Let's be clear, Divine Flame was not kicked out. This troper shows a clear problem with commiting to a profile and after a while decides to undo all the work seemingly out of nowhere. You did this numerous times and it had to be pointed out because it got annoying after the fourth of fifth time.

That doesn't mean you are barred from coming here, we aren't mods and we don't get to decide who gets to participate and who doesn't otherwise Nightelf would have been long gone by this point. Second, i'm pretty sure you are misinterpriting a situation of someone trying to give you a hand.

A meat puppet accusation is very severe, that would have to involve the mods you know? Do you want that? Because i could always go to ATT and sort this out outside of this thread because most people here aren't involved in your squabble and would rather not be involved at all.

OK, this is getting out of hand. No one is officially banned from this thread - either as a matter of moderators acting independently, or by the defacto runners here reaching out to moderation for assistance.

If someone is acting out of line, you don't come to this thread to report it, you report it to moderation by hollering or submitting a private ATT report. Nor is it appropriate to lash out all of your personal resentment in a thread.

~nightelf37 and ~DivineFlame100, I want no more of this conversation brought up here, zero. ~DivineFlame100, rage-quitting a la [up][up] is going to get you thumped, so it has.

If anyone would like to submit further clarification to the moderation team regarding problematic forum behavior, then you have the tools outlined above (hollers/private ATT's). Further attempting to lash it out here will get you thumped, regardless of whatever else you have in the post (i.e. if you try to continue this conversation and put up a profile, the entire post gets thumped and you lose your work).

[up][up] Yes.

With the Divine Flame drama, I have a confession to make.

As Tropers, we have duties that we must uphold, editing articles and creating tropes are the universal stuff. While us here in the Pantheon thread have to create and finish profiles and essentially do that forever. When I first joined TV Tropes I stopped lurking the Pantheon thread (something I had done since at least August) as I saw it as a massive undertaking, tropes will be launched, edits take very little time, and CM/HS/MB profiles are easy and quick to produce. By comparison the Pantheon thread is much bigger, you’re expected to be constantly writing Walls of Text and then immediately move on to the next. And when I joined the thread I was seen as a model newcomer, one who read the rules beforehand and knew what I was doing, giving me the sense I was in the big leagues.

With all that said. Divine Flame, if you can’t commit to a profile for too long then this is not the thread for you (not trying to be mean here), either stay and finish the profiles or face the consequences.

Not gonna lie, what transpired was like something out of Call of Duty: Black Ops, specifically like what happened with Dr. Clarke...I'm glad I never asked further beforehand...

Regarding domain suggestions, I want to see if I can suggest The Der Riese Facility for Nazi Zombies, since that's where the original batch of the Trope Namer were first made. As the map description for the level says, it's the entire start of the whole Zombie debacle in that universe.
