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.

I'm going to ask, a while back i did mention that i think General Shepherd would be a more suitable candidate for Cavalry Betrayal than Arvis and i know he's been here for a while but i dont think many really care for his profile.

So is it ok if i take Cavalry Betrayal for Shepherd?

So, I'd like to talk about the Treasures again, specifically the Armory. Perhaps instead of removing the weapons already in use by others, we split it into two wings; one with the weapons for safekeeping, and the other for replicas of famous weapons currently in use by deities here. They will be marked under Transfer.

Here're my verdicts again.

  • Goldion Crusher - Needs rework.
  • The Sparda - In Dante's hands. And already transformed. Remove.
  • The Spear of Longinus - In Yui Ikari's hands. But its threat can allow for keeping here. Keep.
  • The Wailing Dark - Put in by Asura, allowed by Augus after. Keep.
  • The BFG 9000 - In use by the Doom Slayer, surely? Transfer.
  • Excalibur and Avalon - In use by Artoria Pendragon? Transfer.
  • The God Hand - Gene did tear it off. Keep.
  • The Kuzuryuu Muramasa - Put in by Kisuke Uzuki. Keep.
  • Magiswords - I put them in, and the Warriors for Hire got plenty of these. Keep.
  • The Power Fist - Too short and not that special. Remove.
  • The Pulse Rifle (Aliens) - I'm not sure. Transfer?
  • Sword-Chucks - Donated by Fighter, and he's got a lot of swords, probably. Keep.
  • The 211-V Plasma Cutter - In use by Isaac Clarke. Transfer.
  • Adamantium - Keep.
  • Blades Of Chaos - In use by Kratos. Transfer.
  • Blue Spiny Shell - Keep.
  • The Boneduster - Keep.
  • Captain America's Shield - Possible spares. Keep.
  • A Chainsaw - It's just a chainsaw. Remove.
  • The Dark Sword of Chaos - Put in by Ryu Hayabusa? Keep.
  • The Demonica - Keep.
  • Deviant Blades - Keep?
  • The Dominator - Keep.
  • Dragonslayer - In use by Guts. Transfer.
  • Dragon Sword and Heavenly Dragon Naginata - In use by their owners. Transfer.
  • Durandal - Keep.
  • The Ebony Blade - Donated by the Dovahkiin. Keep.
  • The Elder Wand - Possibly rework into the three Deathly Hallows. Remove.
  • The Gravity Gun - In use by Gordon Freeman. Transfer.
  • The Handcannon - Just a large gun. Remove.
  • The Kingdom Key - In use by Sora, Roxas, and Xion, though they also have their other Keyblades. Transfer.
  • Lancer Assault Rifle - Keep?
  • Laevateinn - Surely Flandre Scarlet wouldn't even dare let it be parted from her, right? Remove.
  • Leviathan Axe (God of War) - In use by Kratos. Transfer.
  • The Master Sword - Surely in use by Link, right, though he does have all sorts of weapons besides. Keep.
  • The Masamune - Is this one necessary? And I'd think Sephiroth would not be Sephiroth without his Masamune. Transfer or Remove?
  • The Metal Blade - Keep?
  • The Monado - Surely in use by Shulk, right? Transfer.
  • Nox Nyctores - Needs rework.
  • Samurai Jack's Katana - Surely in use by Samurai Jack, right? Transfer.
  • The Scissor Blades - In use by Ryuko, but there's an excuse for its continued use. Keep.
  • The Skywalker Lightsaber - Broken in the end. Keep?
  • Vampire Killer (Original) - Used by Simon Belmont, but he probably has other weapons? Keep.
  • Witchblade - Keep.
  • Yamato (Devil May Cry) - In use by Vergil, surely. Transfer.
  • The Poké Ball - There are many of these. Keep.

I could use your opinions on this. I'll put my opinions on the other sections in the following pages.

[up] Pretty okay with all of your moves honestly. To add onto that, we already have examples of Treasures being removed because they're currently in the hands of the deity in question in the intro text.

For the BFG 9000, try to find a way to add the text to the Doom Slayer profile so what's in there doesn't get wasted. It was a recent profile of which the content is good and best not purged.

If you're planning to delete the BFG then fine, do so but I'd rather not add it to the Doom Slayer is as enough as it is (not to mention the incessant editing made by other tropers to the already finished rework).

And you know, if the Treasures is being evaluated, maybe consider deleting the entire thing instead. People were apathetic about it and it was discussed once about it being either saved or deleted. Well now is the time I bring it up and suggest deleting the entire treasures section as many people do not care about its' existence anyway

I'd also like to keep the treasury. In other news, here's my second draft of Ulquiorra. I added the unreleased OST.

Looking at Tetsuya Tsurugi, Orphan's Ordeal and Conveniently an Orphan are his tropes, and they're combined, too. But that's not kosher, isn't it? Is his profile okay enough for him to stay? Is he eligible for at least one of the tropes? Because here're the plans.

1) I could rework him to just have the trope Conveniently an Orphan, and then I'd probably add his partner Jun Hono alongside him, given that she was also an orphan.

2) wootzits suggested in the Discord thread that I have Tetsuya and Kouji in the same profile under Chest Blaster and Rocket Punch. If that's the case, I'll add Jun Hono alongside Sayaka Yumi for Torpedo Tits.

Which one do you guys think would be best for Tetsuya?

Are these Harry Potter ideas ready to go?

Peeves, God of Poltergeists (Peevsie, Peevesy)

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/peeveswu.png
His appearance in Harry Potter: Wizards Unite.
  • House: Ghosts (House of Undead)
  • Lesser God
  • Symbol: His loudly-colored clothes
  • Theme Song: Peeves' Chase
  • Alignment: Chaotic Neutral
  • Portfolio: Poltergeist (not a ghost), Embodiment Of Adolescent Stress, Jerkass, Troll, Lives To Trick People For The Lulz, Willing To Fight For Hogwarts And Respects Dumbledore, Intangibility and Invisibility
  • Domains: Spirits, School, Trickery, Pranks, Mischief
  • Allies: Fred and George Weasley, Albus Dumbledore, Discord, the Grand United Alliance of Chaos, Gengar, Rotom, the Flying Dutchman, Mr Mxyzptlk, Bugs Bunny, Theodore Jasper Detweiler
  • Enemies: ARGUS FILCH, Dolores Umbridge, Voldemort and his Death Eaters, YHVH and the Grand United Alliance of Law, Yuuki Terumi, Elmer Fudd, Yosemite Sam, Denzel Crocker, Agatha Trunchbull
  • Opposed by: Most stern teachers like Seymour Skinner
  • Annoyed by: The Ghostbusters, Jack Fenton
  • Avoided by: Carol Anne Freeling
  • Peeves the Poltergeist is an apparition that is bound and emerged at the beginning of Hogwarts, born from collective adolescent stress and student mischief. Classified as a poltergeist, he's the trickster of the school and likes to cause pranks and general mischief. Argus Filch despises him and has tried to get Peeves from the school, but it never works.
  • Didn't show up in the movies, and was mad about being left out. Thus Peeves demanded he be given some attention in the massive fan crossover that is the Trope Pantheon, where he tends to cause mischief in the House of School. He picked a video game adaptation for his avatar because he looks far more dashing in that form.
  • Important to remember; he's a poltergeist, not a ghost. Ghosts were humans once, while he is amortal; never a living being, and will never die(though if Hogwarts is destroyed it might destroy him). He's just considered one for convenience. He's annoyed that Jack Fenton and the Ghostbusters go after him, though Peeves has been informed that outside of the world of Harry Potter, ghosts have a lot of parameters so he stays in the house.
  • Peeves' ascension was met with dread by Carol Anne Freeling because she was a victim of a poltergeist haunting and kidnapping her. However Peeves isn't malicious, merely a prankster and doesn't wish to harm her. She still would rather stay away from him anyway.
  • While Mr Crocker is obsessed with FAIRIES!, he flat out hates Peeves the Poltergeist. So does the Trunchbull. Though to be fair to Peeves, they often bring it on themselves. Professional teachers are merely annoyed and frustrated by Peeves. Seymour Skinner refuses to let himself be in a point of weakness to Peeves, which entertains him as a possible challenge. Interestingly Peeves is on good terms Dumbledore despite the mischief he causes.
  • Sure Peeves isn't a real ghost, at least by the standards of his universe, but that doesn't stop him hanging out with Gengar, Rotom and the Flying Dutchman. This comes down to their mischievous nature. Because Hogwarts isn't too technologically advanced Rotom serves as a learning experience in how to mess around with technology. Also while he's not into the scaring field, he likes what the Dutchman can pull and how fear can be used to troll people.
  • A pain in the ass to the GUAL. As a chaotic prankster spirit, Peeves considers them an anathema and YHVH the biggest killjoy in the multiverse. Most agree with him on the "YHVH is a killjoy" assessment. When not causing mischief in the House of School, he causes mischief in the GUAL to their eternal frustration; Death Is Cheap or no, you can't kill something that was never alive.
  • The GUAC has welcomed Peeves into their ranks. Peeves isn't interested in their loftier ambitions, but does appreciate the chaos they represent and the venue of mischief. Mainly it's his continual annoyance and heckling of the GUAL that has him serve as their ally.
  • A chaotic spirit, Peeves has a kinship with Discord due to being a more powerful spirit of chaos. And then there's Mr Mxyzptlk, who Peeves is in awe for his chaotic games with the Man of Steel. He requested to be given a small percentage of Mxy's unbridled power to pull off pranks on a universal scale, however Mxy turned it down as he refuses even a tiny chance of repeating what happened last time
  • Peeves was rather impressed by the trickery Bugs Bunny was able to pull off, and has joined him to have some fun. Cue a lot of pity going towards Elmer Fudd for this, and Yosemite Sam yelling that his bullets do diddly squat to Peeves. He likes T.J as well, what with being the prince of pranks. Still, despite being a prankster and jerk, Peeves stands for Hogwarts and fought alongside them against Voldemort and the Death Eaters. He also finds Yuuki Terumi and his trolling to be incredibly despicable and going way too far.

The Serpent of Slytherin, Goddess of Basilisks

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/10697286.jpg
In the books
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/basilisk2png.png
In the films
  • House: Fantastical Beasts (House of Beast)
  • Intermediate Goddess
  • Symbol: The Slytherin logo imposed over one of her teeth
  • Theme Song: Dueling The Basilisk
  • Alignment: Chaotic Evil
  • Portfolio: Ax-Crazy Feathered Basilisk, Undying Loyalty To The Heir Of Slytherin, The Paralyzer, Snakes Are Sinister, Female King Of The Serpents, Being Female, Poisonous Person, Her Teeth Are Used To Destroy Horcruxes, Referred To As An "It", The Dreaded, Deadly Gaze
  • Domains: Basilisks, Paralyzing, Venom, Monsters
  • Interests: Babidi, Caesar Clown
  • Allies: Lord Voldemort (and to a lesser extent, Voldemort's allies), Lesale Deathbringer, The Lernean Hydra
  • Enemies: All heroic deities of the Harry Potter series (Harry Potter on top of the list), "half-bloods and muggle-born", Ho-oh, the Phoenix (DotA) Oberyn Martell, Finn the Human, Samurai Jack, SCP-682, Akame, Medusa (Fate/Stay Night), Shinji Matou, Amalthea, Princess Celestial and Luna, Toph
  • Fears: The Weeping Angels, SCP-173, SCP-096, Apophis, Johnny Blaze, Ghatanathoa, Chanticleer
  • Feared by: Kaa
  • The basilisk. A serpentine beast first created by Herpo the Foul, born when a toad hatches a chicken egg. This monster was left by Salazar Slytherin in order to get rid of muggleborns he felt were a threat. The creature waited for Slytherin's heir, which came in the form of his descendant Tom Marvolo Riddle aka Lord Voldemort. His first horcrux contained a living memory of his teenage self, who would try to use the Serpent of Slytherin to do his bidding and eliminate half-bloods and muggle-born students.
  • The Serpent of Slytherin tends to keep to herself, serving as the servant of Lord Voldemort. He was overjoyed to meet the basilisk in his modern form, but most frustrated learning her venom was used to destroy horcruxes. Ironically, Herpo the Foul was also the creator of the first horcrux. One of the other reasons the Serpent of Slytherin keeps to herself is not a single sentence she speaks doesn't involve murder, blood or killing. She's been crawling across the House of Magic to purge her master's enemies.
  • Her plan to exterminate those her master finds inferiors led to her paralyzing and killing Shinji Matou, which got the attention of Medusa. She doesn't miss him at all, but is wary of such a monster being loose. Her own petrifying sight would likely work on the Serpent of Slytherin, and vice versa. And it's not something the beast wants.
  • Frustrated at the fact that post-mortem her venom was used against her master. She has decided to go after anyone who would dare try to harvest her venom for their own ends, leading to her to hunt down Akame and Oberyn Martell. Ironically she's not fond of the House of Toxicity, although she is a point of interest for the gods there anyway. Caesar Clown would love to use her as the basis for a Devil Fruit as part of his own plans. He thinks he may have immunity to her paralyzing look in his ghost form, but as even ghosts are somewhat affected he's over-reaching himself.
  • Has a couple friends in the pantheon, for what's it worth. Mainly Lesale Deathbringer and the Learnean Hydra. They're extremely toxic serpentine beings, and the closest creatures that Slytherin's Monster can understand. Interestingly for as much of a ferocious beast that she is, she is terrified of Apophis for being far more destructive and far worse a serpent than her. As the basilisk is The Dreaded, this speaks miles about the Hated One.
  • Doesn't care for Finn the Human, for being a heroic swordsman. Or Jack for much of the same reason. She's worried their blades will take her out, as she left the mortal realm through the sword of Godric Gryffindor. The Serpent of Slytherin wants to avoid deities who specialize in Eye Scream as well, since that played a critical role in her defeat. Despises phoenixes too, as Fawkes the phoenix was the one who blinded her.
  • Babidi was interested in Slytherin's Monster. He doesn't need to make eye contact to brainwash people and she is plenty evil, so he hopes to have a powerful servant. However he also considers her master a more useful ally than rival, at least for now. Kaa wishes that he could hypnotize her, but given her Deadly Gaze this would be suicide and her fears the basilisk.
  • The deadly gaze of the basilisk doesn't work on SCP-173 or the Weeping Angels, what with them already being made of stone/stone-like material. And her venom has no effect either. She's basically screwed the moment she looks away from them, leading to her being terrified of them. SCP-096 and SCP-682 are affected, however the latter can adapt and the former is so determined being petrified won't stop it. She knows to try and stay away from the latter, but the former won't stop hunting her down and that terrifies her. Her own glare is impotent against the blind as well, so Toph can fight her off.
  • Got a serious taste of her own medicine when accidentally glancing at Ghatanathoa's horrific visage, mummifying her while still alive. Voldemort went out for unicorn blood to heal his monster. Slytherin's Monster has grown a fear of both the Great Old One, and Johnny Blaze. The latter is highly unlikely to be affected by her gaze, and his Death Glare would be devastating on her. Hilariously Harry Potter basilisks have a fear of rooster crowing as it is fatal for their kind, making Chanticleer one of her dire enemies.

@Basilisk: So how exactly does her gaze work? Say if someone has digital vision that doesn't wholly render what they see, like if it's just bad 64-bit polygons or something like in Scanner Sombre. Would the victim seeing the Basilisk like this kill them, would this indirect sight petrify them, or would it not register? Of course, the Basilisk can still move in and eat them.

[up] King Richard III of England has Historical Villain Upgrade.

First draft for Kakyoin's rework.

He had a Friendless Background and is hoping to find friends. He was also a victim of brainwashing and is not happy at all about said brainwashing.

Looking for suggestions on what to add for interactions, including where the other Jojo characters beyond Part 3 are concerned and characters outside of Jojo.

Noriaki Kakyoin, God of Last Ditch Attacks (Kakyoin, Tenmei Kakyoin, "The Only Reason Women Watch this Show", Mr. K)

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/kakyoin_jojoeoh_removebg_preview.png
  • Intermediate God
  • Symbol: His Stand, Hierophant Green
  • Theme Songs: Noble Pope or Goodbye Nostalgia
  • Alignment: Neutral Good
  • Portfolio: A Follower of DIO Until He Was Defeated, Beware the Nice Ones, Emerald Splash, Bishōnen, The Heart, Using the Last of His Powers to Help His Allies
  • Domains: Power, Summoning, Emeralds
  • Allies:
  • Enemies: Dio Brando, Diavolo, Vanilla Ice, Enrico Pucci, The D’Arby Brothers, Freddy Krueger, Nightmare (Kirby), Wizeman, Vaermina, Jervis Tetch, Yuri
  • Not only is Noriaki Kakyoin one of the first Stand users that Jotaro encountered, but he was one of several individuals that was working for Dio. Unlike many of the other characters that Jotaro fought, Kakyoin was freed of his brainwashing and following this, became a member of Jotaro and Joseph’s team that was hunting down Dio to destroy him. His Stand, Hierophant Green, can crawl into people's bodies and control them (which saw very little use following his initial battle with Jotaro), stretch its limbs at great lengths, and shoot emerald projectiles. Once he eventually confronted Dio, Kakyoin ended up being overpowered by him and with no other options left, Kakyoin used one final Emerald Splash on a nearby clock tower before dying in order to give his surviving allies a clue on Dio’s time-stopping powers in order to defeat that menace for good.
  • Even though Kakyoin was among those who died during the final battle against Dio, Jotaro’s time in the Pantheon led him to believe that many of his friends and foes that he encountered would still be around in some capacity regardless of how they turned out the last time he saw them. Jotaro received a note from Joseph Joestar that Kakyoin was waiting for him at a far-off town, prompting Jotaro and Joseph to head off to where Kakyoin was at. As the two were getting close to their destination, they noticed a couple other vehicles parked to where they were at, suspecting that a few goons were aware of Kakyoin being in the Pantheon and whoever those threats were tried to eliminate Kakyoin. Once Joseph and Jotaro met up with Kakyoin properly, they noticed that Kakyoin was able to take care of these thugs with only a few minor injuries. Kakyoin was subsequently welcomed to the Pantheon by Joseph and Jotaro, and it was there that not only did Kakyoin’s adventures continue, but he would learn of what adventures Joseph and Jotaro took part in well after Dio was initially defeated.
  • Being brainwashed by Dio and made into a servant of his is something that Kakyoin is not proud of to say the least. That there were a multitude of deities dedicated to brainwashing others and forcing them to serve an evil cause was more than enough to earn them Kakyoin’s ire. Having a Flesh Bud embedded inside his own body was painful enough on its own and having to go through something similar to that through different means isn’t something Kakyoin wants to happen. He is more than willing to target deities dedicated to malicious brainwashing so that others won’t have to go through what he did back when he was a servant of Dio’s.
  • One Stand user that ended up being a major problem for him was Mannish Boy, a baby who can use his Stand to invade the dreams of others and kill them there. Defeating Mannish Boy required Kakyoin to get around Death 13’s capabilities in order to save him and his teammates from potentially getting killed. There were a number of nightmare-inducing entities that gave Kakyoin bad memories of Mannish Boy such as Freddy Krueger, but it’s the more powerful ones such as Wizeman and Vaermina that he’s worried about. The two are able to create nightmarish worlds much more elaborate than what Death 13 could come up with and if he does end up getting trapped in them, getting out of them alive would be very difficult even with Hierophant Green and would more than likely require the help of specialized dream entities to escape those worlds.

I could always do something different and use like say, Wham Line for Shepherd.

Reasoning: So Call of Duty is fond of fancy speaches and dialogue that tends to be either memorable or might stick with the player. And Shepherd has one of the most notable in the franchise: "Good, that's one less loose end"

Three [tup]

Ultraman, God of Annoying Critical Indicators (Original Ultraman, Shin Hayata, Ultraman Dark, Bemular, Maa, Bemlar/Bemular-BirdMan, WoO, Redman)

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/adbb0078_8b6d_48b7_97aa_e7a7c56b239b.png
Shin Hayata 
Ultraman Dark 
Click here  to see him as Bemular
  • Greater God
  • Theme Song: Ultraman no Uta
  • Symbol: His color timer within The Science Special Search Party emblem
  • Alignment: Lawful Good. Chaotic Neutral actually Chaotic Good as Bemular. Chaotic Evil as Ultraman Dark.
  • Portfolio: The Japanese equivalent of The Hero, Trope Maker and Trope Codifier for Tokusatsu Tropes, Body and Host, Symbiotic Possession, Superpowered Alter Ego, Creepy Monotone (only in his first appearance), Energy Weapon, Memetic Hand Gesture, Ultra Timer, Hand Blast
  • Domains: Protection, Giants, Heroes, Limits
  • Herald: Shuheei Aragaki, The Original Science Patrol Japanese Branch, Shinjiro Hayata/Ultraman II
  • Allies: All ascended Ultras, The Duck Hunt Dog, Raleigh Becket and Mako Mori, Clark Kent/Superman, Mothra Leo, Takeshi Hongo/Kamen Rider 1, The Iron Giant, Viewtiful Joe, Peter Parker/Spider-man, Anguirus, Baragon, good-aligned deities from the House of Light and Brightness, Amaterasu
  • Rivals: Godzilla, Sun Wukong, King Kong
  • Enemies: The Alien Baltans, Ultraman Belial, King Ghidorah, Deathwing, Dark Specter, The Dalek Empire, Melkor, Mechagodzilla, Gigan, Hedorah, Destroyah, SpaceGodzilla, Ghatanothoa, Crime Syndicate of America, Light of Destruction, evil-aligned deities of the House of Darkness and Shadow
  • The Hero of Japan, Ultraman was once an average Ultra Soldier who was in pursuit of a monster known as Bemular towards Earth. In his chase, a pilot named Shin Hayata from the Science Patrol was killed in the pursuit and Ultraman feeling remorse, fused himself with Hayata to save his life. As one being, they fought against the threats of Earth, starting the wave of Ultras coming to defend the planet and its people.
  • It would obvious he would ascend to the Pantheon with much prestige and respect from his fellow heroes. Though Ultraman wishes that he would be not given a place because of his Color Timer being especially obnoxious. Not that he demands that he would be given another title, grateful that his feats are more remembered than these flaws. Though he feels a bit like a Black Sheep in the House of Gaming for not really being a game character.
  • Humorously, Duck Hunt had expressed similar frustrations with a timer mocking you, so Ultraman had not only befriended the ducks and the hunter, but also the annoying dog that everyone wants to shoot.
  • Shin Hayata was summoned along with him, both being separate entities from one another. Hayata can summon Ultraman and fuse with him once more to do battle against evil. This might be a rather redundant move on the Court of the Gods’ side of things but Ultraman’s timer is basically null and void without a host, so in order to keep his place, his first host has to be here. Not that both mind as Ultraman is able to keep human allies through the human.
  • Is pointed out to be a bit rusty on the side of things thanks to being rather simplistic in terms of fighting ability and the fact he does not have have anything special to offer. Though that is mitgated by the fact Ultraman is so good at what he does, he does not need to anything fancy to prove he is an experienced warrior.
  • His ultimate rival is Godzilla by far. The God of Kaiju isn't inherently evil, but often has to battle with Ultraman over the city. Expect massive brawls with collateral damage whenever they met, followed by a team up against a more powerful threat. These fights make Ultraman recall fighting a monster remarkably similar to the King of the Monsters.
    • Perhaps not surprisingly, Ultraman has a lot more in common with Mothra Leo in terms of a sense of duty to protect the planet. Mothra Leo told Ultraman not to destroy Godzilla, as Godzilla is willing to be allies if it suits him. Ultraman heeded to this advice.
    • The fact that he sees Baragon as an ally has raised a few eyebrows among some of the Japanese deities, as a few recall him fighting three monsters very similar to the tunneling god. Perhaps Ultraman does not think of Baragon in the same light as them.
    • Fought many of Godzilla’s enemies, ambushed by them multiple times. Only by teaming up with Godzilla and/or Mothra that Ultraman can face something like King Ghidorah or Destroyah without serious collatoral happening.
  • One can add King Kong to that list of rivals, especially his much larger counterpart. Though this one is to a lesser extent. King Kong is more benevolent than Godzilla, fortunately. Regardless, Ultraman stands ready to drag him out of Tokyo if the gorilla ends up there.
  • Thankfully he is nowhere near short on allies in the Pantheon. He has been intrigued with the duo of Raleigh Becket and Mako Mori, impressed with ginourmous Jaeger and strategy. Ultraman is willing to help them defend humanity if they call for him.
  • As stated before, he is one of the most righteous beings in the his native Japan. The likes of Superman see him as their Japanese equivalent and treat him as such. Just don't confuse him with Superman's evil counterpart from Earth 3. Both heroes were not happy when the Crime Syndicate did arrive and are teaming up to take care of not just there Ultraman but all of the members.
  • Is good friends with those from the Kamen Rider universe. He has actually met Takeshi Hongo in a crossover. With those two combined, the kaiju that fought them stood no chance when Takeshi became the same size as Ultraman. Humorously, this makes Takeshi not too dissimilar to Kamen Rider J.
  • Ultraman respects that not every giant being wants to fight. As such, he was proud of Iron Giant's actions. The approval pleased the Iron Giant greatly, seeing as Ultraman has the clout of Superman in Japan. Though Ultraman is sure that his Specium Ray can blow up a nuke in orbit without needing to crash into it.
  • As a fan of tokusatsu in general, Viewtiful Joe was elated to see a venerable member of that group in the Pantheon. He quickly asked to do that famous pose sign, complied Ultraman complied. Finding foes that both of them can fight has proved difficult, given the immense size difference.
  • Extremely hated by the Baltans as Ultraman killed around seven billion of them when they first invaded Earth. The Baltans accused of Ultraman for what was tentamount to genocide but Ultraman tells them that they were planning to enslave Earth when they could have lived somewhere else at least outside of the solar system. Is willing to try peace but the Baltans have been too burned by the Ultras to forgive them.
  • Fought against Sun Wukong under the Hanuman monikor alongside other Ultra Brothers. Hanuman turned to be a rather formidable foe for them. Though unlike the other rivals, they get on the more heated side of things since a ginormous legal mess came out of said fight.
  • Generally sees the Daleks as worst than many of the foes he fights against, as they want nothing but to commit genocide on everything but themselves. Ultraman once faced one of their legions by himself and managed to take out most out and sent the others packing. The Dalek had labelled Ultraman as a top priority threat as a result.
  • Allies with those who hold the Light Is Good schtick, as that is what the Ultras embody. Though is generally quite disgusted over the Light of Destruction for perverting the idea of light into something to be feared. Ultraman wonders if his Specium Ray could even harm Light of Destruction at all.
  • Seeing how Deathwing is a Person of Mass Destruction, Ultraman once had to stop Deathwing when the dragon went on another one of his rampages. It got to a point that all of the other Ultras had to help out in driving Deathwing away. Both are not happy to see each other in the slightest whenever they pass each other.
  • Does not want to be reminded of the time that he was corrupted by Dark Lugiel to be used for nefarious purposes. As a result, those he is quite against villains of the dark because he thinks they draw a good portion of their power from the Dark Plasma Spark.
    • Speaking of Plasma Sparks, he befriended Amaterasu in the hopes that he can come closer to being attuned to the Land of Lights’ Plasma Spark to awaken even greater understanding of it. Amaterasu does not see that will change his power, as he already quite attuned to it than most of his bretheren but enjoys his company nonetheless.
  • In an Alternate Universe, the Land of Light was obliterated by the Plasma Spark going supernova and destroying countless other planets in its nebula in the process. Thus the Star Cluster Alliance was made in the Ultras’ place in keeping the peace throughout the universe (though they also have their fair share of politics). After Ultraman left, Shin Hayata lost his memories but carried the genes of Ultraman, which were then passed to his son as well. It’s a timeline that Ultraman is quite disturbed of, knowing almost all his people and Ultra Brothers are dead.
    • In that timeline, he gained another host and became the Rogue Agent of the Star Cluster Alliance, Bemular. However at the same time, many those threatening Earth came to be after Bemular, so he was made to be an associate of these threats by default of being the first enemy. Ultraman himself in the Pantheon does not have those memories... mostly. Its like horrendous memory flashes that really traumatize him.
    • OR SO THEY SAY! Turns out the Star Cluster Alliance manufactured the lie of the Land of Light being destroyed because they are at war with the Ultras themselves. To the point they framed Bemular for blowing up a plane that their Psycho for Hire caused it. Ultraman was pissed to say the least, more pissed than anything after finding that out but doesn’t want to act on that universe yet, not knowing the full story behind it all.
  • Will appear in the Marvel Universe, aiding the Marvel superheroes in his own battles against evil. He will eventually help out Peter Parker at some point, likely to connect the fact that Spider-man had been in a toku. Teaming up with Spider-man sounds like a better experience to Ultraman than teaming up with Dragon Force (Sega). We never talk about that incident.

Guys, I think you're misunderstanding what nightelf is going for regarding the Treasures.

"Perhaps instead of removing the weapons already in use by others, we split it into two wings; one with the weapons for safekeeping, and the other for replicas of famous weapons currently in use by deities here. They will be marked under Transfer."

@ 227: Contrast him with Emperor Calus, who is The Anti-Nihilist. The Emperor literally foresaw the inevitable death of everything but instead of going insane he actually snapped out of his despair and returned to his hedonistic way of life in other words he regained the will to live. He plans on carving out a paradise for him and his followers to hold out and die happy. He only interacts with heavily armed robotic duplicates because at some point he was changed by some mysterious power he gained as a testament to his opulent gluttony, one such application is being able to devour Helium-4 and a bead of neutronium and simply remarked upon their deliciousness.

@ Rmpdc: Manny Pardo and Chief Brian Irons are both corrupt cops, and very nasty ones at that. Irons especially. As for politicians and other figures in power there's Donald Love. Benny is the owner of the Tops Casino and is quite the back-stabbing sleazebag having thrown his escort to the wolves and continued back to New Vegas. There have been multiple points in which Agent 47 got targeted iirc, one of which was from a clone like him albeit an older one.

@ R-lock: Obligatory "No one can just deflect the Emerald Splash!" here.

That aside, I always compared him to Okuyuasu Nijimura and the latter's entry on Contrasting Sequel Main Character in his character page sums it up as thus:

Both Okuyasu and Kakyoin were influenced by Dio (Okuyasu through his father, Kakyoin being directly brainwashed) to fight and later befriend their respective JoJo, but whereas Kakyoin was reserved and intelligent, Okuyasu is a Hot-Blooded Idiot Hero. They also both join the hero's side when their respective JoJo tells them, "I don't know why I saved your life." Kakyoin accepts this and doesn't press Jotaro for an elaboration, while Okuyasu does, and gets the response, "Because you didn't have to die." Most notably, both of them have their sides destroyed during the final battle, but Okuyasu manages to survive the ordeal. The anime also adds a scene where Okuyasu comments on how hot Josuke's mom is, just like Kakyoin did with Holly.

Outside of Jojo, both Shouya Ishida and Shouko Nishimiya suffered from friendless backgrounds. The former was even responsible for the latter's situation until he was hit with such a thing himself, prompting him to change his ways. Twilight Sparkle used to be that way before the series started, as was Starlight Glimmer which molded her into an antagonist before being reformed by Twilight.

With it being strongly hinted that Thunder suffered an abusive past she didn't make much of an effort to socialize with her Only Friend being a Hot-Blooded doll with Chronic Hero Syndrome, M950A. They're nothing alike, but 950 made the effort to not give up on her which is enough of a pillar for Thunder to keep going and later return the favor and showcase how much she appreciates their friendship.

Blade was kidnapped by the Sumeragi Institute of Human Evolution where the Big Bad took an interest in her and brainwashed into becoming their enforcer and got special powers out of it. Blade broke free of it and it didn't take long for her to use said powers against them. M. Bison and King Sombra have been known to employ the use of brainwashing.

@ Faso: I'm alright with Shepherd getting that.

All my fault, you say...? What fault? I daresay it's all thanks to me.
