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]](https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Thumbs_up_emoticon_3268.png "[thumb up]")
means the profile will have a one week waiting period.
- For new and reworked deities, 4 is a 3 day waiting period.
- 5 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 new and reworked deities, 3
- For adding new Treasures to The Great Treasury or new Dominions to the Dominions, the following rules apply:
- For new Treasures or Dominions, 3 is a 3 day waiting period.
- 4 is an automatic addition to the Great Treasury or Dominions.
- For new Treasures or Dominions, 3
- 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.
- 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
- 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.
- First thing to do before present a profile is to go to the Trope Pantheons discussion thread
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.

@ Faso: None of the ascended Tactical Dolls would like him given the PMC they worked for stabbed in the back by KCCO, a renegade branch of the New Soviet Union military. It marks the point where the story goes all in with the military conspiracy thriller it has going on and is one of story's darkest hours. Carcano M1891 and Carcano M91/38 in particular were one of the first casualties of Captain Yegor's betrayal.
Joshua Graham was a General Ripper himself back when he was the Legate of Caesar's Legion. His cruelty and inability to stay dead was the stuff of boogeymen. He still retained his ferocity and fury even when helping New Canaan's tribes but I went with the ending where the Courier got him to make peace with himself.
@ Crimson: For Abhorash, Carrera of the Sumeragi Swordsmen is a Blood Knight through and through. His reason for joining up with the villains was mainly to fight strong individuals like himself. His "sword" is a Transformation Trinket but his ability to generate and control magnetic fields, which can even pull people and other objects as they were magnetic, makes him a fierce opponent indeed. Carrera otherwise holds no ill-will to Gunvolt, even after coming back from the dead thanks to his team's necromancer he just goes right back to facing Gunvolt again.
For the Aqours idols, Isola of the Falcons is another idol, one who's seriously dedicated to her work as an idol. It's both really admirable (puts in her 100% towards everything, is willing to help anyone at a moment's notice, and really works for her fans) and quite strange (she goes works out constantly and takes up agriculture as apart of her idol work).
For You, Ignis Scientia and G36 are quite the chefs themselves.
For Mari, Stella Hoshii is also a rich girl and quite nice herself. She also at times really likes stuffing herself with cheap food, particularly hamburgers. Wonder what she'd think of Akari, Aika and Alice. You know, gondolas and all that.
@ RJ: Sissel, Missile and (formerly) Yomiel were referred to as ghosts, but when looking at their abilities of "ghost tricks" they actually fit the definition of poltergeist quite well. Though, instead of mischief, Sissel and Missile mainly use their powers to manipulate the environment in a way to save people's lives and avert death. Yomiel, meanwhile, used his to ruin people's lives and even commit murder as apart of a complex revenge scheme but eventually he moves past this and uses his powers for good by the end of it.

Reposting due to lack of reply save for the page name issue.
Permission to act on my proposed actions here?
Anyway, with the Museum in the planning stages, now I'm going to evaluate the Treasures in the Books sector. Well, I already did, but nobody responded.
- The Neverending Story - Keep.
- Da Rules - Keep.
- Death Note - Reworking. I'll probably put it (i.e. a replica) in the Museum. Light, Misa, Teru, Ryuk, and Rem still have theirs.
- The Demonic Compendium - It's confusing to me. Perhaps Keep.
- The Future Diaries - Too short. Needs rework.
- The Elder Scrolls - Definitely Keep.
- Ninjas of the Ice: The Art of Fridjitzu - Keep. I don't think the museum is secure enough.
- The Thievius Raccoonus - Keep?
And here's my evaluation for the Magical Artifacts sector.
- The Pure Hearts - Keep.
- Crystal Mirror - Keep.
- Grim's Scythe - It's in use by Grim, right? Transfer.
- The Magic Cue Ball - If Doc Scratch would prefer it, Transfer.
- The Three Keys to Power - Keep.
- Earth Dragon Balls - Keep.
- Holy Materia - Keep.
- Chaos Emeralds - Keep?
- The Dominion Jewel - Keep?
- The Millennium Items - Keep.
- 12 Talismans - Even though Jade somehow keeps getting in to swipe them, I say Keep.
- Aghanim's Scepter - Keep.
- The Asterisks - Keep.
- The Crimson Behelit - Keep.
- Clow Cards/Sakura Cards - In use by Sakura/Syaoran. Transfer.
- The Magic Bag of Tricks - In use by Felix the Cat. Transfer?.
- The Miracle Lights - Keep.
- Soul Dew - Keep.
- The Ice King's Crown - It's now with the Ice Thing. Transfer.
- Lasso of Truth - In use by Wonder Woman. Transfer.
- Quillgin's Box - Keep.
- Stand Arrow - All the Grand United Alliances have a Stand Arrow, Transfer. It's in need of a rework anyway.
- The Stone Mask - Keep.
- The Vibe Scepter - Keep.
- Voldemort's Horcruxes - Keep.
Anyway, here's the first draft of the museum. Wings will not be split yet.

Second draft for Jimmy. Currently working on his backstory.
"I was making some nice cash, and there was never a dull moment. I handled things like inventory management...Balancing the books...Labor negotiations...And, uh "janitorial services". Hey, somebody's gotta do it. That particular day, for everybody else, it was Thursday. For me, ah, it's the day I got fucked."
Jimmy, God of Hitmen Who Have Outlived Their Usefulness
- Themes: Mafia II Main Theme, Men at Work and Stairway to the Stars
- Lesser God
- Symbol: His trademark sunglasses
- Alignment: True Neutral, formerly Lawful Evil
- Portfolio: Hitman who has been targeted by his old criminal contacts, Cool Shades, Which he even wears at night, Affably Evil, Anti-Hero, Formerly an Anti-Villain, Punch-Clock Villain, Going on a revenge spree on those who set him up, Becoming a one-man army against organized crime in Empire Bay, Succeeding in his revenge quest , Managing to get no comeuppance in his revenge quest , Bald Of Awesome, Badass in a Nice Suit
- Allies: Claude, Niko Bellic, Luis Fernando Lopez, Michael De Santa, Trevor Philips, and Franklin Clinton, Agent 47, Yoruka Hirihime
- Enemies: Vito and Michael Corleone, Fat Tony, Mr. X, Diavolo, Melvin Harris, Officers Frank Tenpenny and Eddie Pulaski, Manny Pardo, Chief Brian Irons, Donald Love, Benny, Dimitri Rascalov
- Teeth-Clenched Teamwork: Tommy Vercetti, Carl Johnson, Huang Lee, Giorno Giovanna
- In an Alternate Universe Empire Bay ruled by The Mafia, The Triads and the Tongs, The Irish Mob, and The Bombers, a mob hitman and enforcer named Jimmy was asked by his employers, the bosses of the former two organizations Sal Gravina and Tam Brody, to help them eliminate their competition, in this case the latter two organizations.
- In exchange for huge swathes of money, he complied, having helped his two friends get rid of their rivals in Eddie Fu, Leader of the Empire Bay Triads, and Elroy and Duke Tussle, heads of the Bombers Gang. Eliminating each organization from the bottom up, it ultimately culminated in Jimmy storming both of the organizations' HQs and gunning Fu and the Tussles down in cold blood.
- Satisfied at Jimmy's successful assassinations of Fu and the Tussles, Sal Gravina then informed Jimmy of one last job: stealing a luxury car with a handsome cash reward in its trunk. Without suspecting anything, the hitman then made his way to the car, which he managed to get into without issue. Just as he's about to start up the engine, he's suddenly caught in a police ambush. Without second thought, he starts up the car, and drives down the Empire Bay freeway in an attempt to escape the cops. However, the police had anticipated this, and prepared an ambush and roadblock down the same highway. Now caught between a rock and a hard place, Jimmy ultimately chose to give himself in.
Jimmy: "That's what I got for getting comfortable. I was so busy tying up loose ends for my "employers", I didn't realize the only one left was me. Assholes set me up good. The dope in the trunk got me fifteen years. Guess they couldn't find anybody with the balls to try and do me in. Dumb bastards. They got no idea what's coming."
- By his own admission, he probably should have seen this betrayal coming from a mile away, as by now he had known too much about the inner workings criminal underworld of Empire Bay.
- Having lost all of his money, cars, outfits, safehouses, and even his favorite shades, Jimmy then decided to "repay" the favor to his former employers.

I noticed that someone added this to Nero's profile:
Since the Nerevarine aren't in the Pantheon, should I remove it?
EDIT: Done. I removed them because I don't know if they qualify for Giftedly Bad or not.

Pardon the harsh words but some dumbass tropers don't realize that if you aren't featured as a profile you shouldn't be mentioned. But people have an aversion to reading rules sometimes.
That said, i have noticed a few of them doing consistantly that, should we PM them or something?

Perhaps I could write a PM to Nitramy (troper who added the thing in Nero's profile) informing them of this.
EDIT: Done. If you guys find more instances of this happening, please let us know.

I put quite a bit of work into this. How is it?
Ulquiorra Cifer, God of Nihilism (Ulquiorra Sciffer, Quatro Espada)
Resurrección
Segunda Etapa
Segunda Etapa
- Intermediate God (borderline Greater God in his Resurrección, actual Greater God in Segunda Etapa, Overdeity upon merging with the Hogyoku)
- Potential House: Optimism and Pessimism
- Symbol: His Hollow mask
- Theme Song: La Distancia Para Un Duelo, Segunda Etapa, Fuerza
- Alignment: Lawful Evil
- Portfolio: Doesn't show emotions or raise his voice with one exception, Facial Markings, black hair and pale skin, the only Espada that was born a Hollow, not the Primera Espada, extremely nihilistic, Murcielago and then Segunda Etapa, shooting Cero Oscuras through his finger, Luz de la Luna and Lanza del Relámpago, Hero Killer, makes holes in his victims, epic fights that mark a shift in events, never smiles with one exception, having a surprisingly pitiable death, Magnificent Bastard despite not being too important
- Domains: Stoicism, Nihilism, Antagonism
- Allies: Coyote Starrk, Malos, Madara Uchiha
- On speaking terms with: Owlman, Archaon the Everchosen
- Enemies: All other Bleach Gods, especially Yhwach, Keyblade Wielding Heroes, Obito Uchiha
- Teeth-Clenched Teamwork: Monokuma and his Mastermind, Esdeath
- Respects: Gen Urobuchi, Meruem and Komugi
- Interests: Hisoka
- Opposes: The Joker
- Opposed by: Makoto Naegi
- Pitied by: Auriel
- Special Relationship: Emperor Calus
- Feared by: Guido Mista
- Deep within Hueco Mundo, there was once a being known as an Arrancar; his name was Ulquiorra Cifer. After being defeated by Ichigo Kurosaki, he has mysteriously woken up in a strange, unfamiliar land. This Arrancar is known for being very nihilistic towards others. He believes fighting a losing battle is useless, and was once surprisingly angry with Ichigo for trying to maintain hope during their fight. However, in his final moments, he felt a peculiar sense of happiness when someone told him she wasn't afraid of him. This new feeling has been living inside of Ulquiorra during his time in the Pantheon, clashing with who he has been for his entire existence.
- What Ulquiorra didn't expect is to find any familiar faces (and garbs) in the Pantheon. While Starrk was willing to say wave hello (and then go back to sleep), the Thirteen Court Guard Squads weren't so friendly (except maybe Kenpachi).
- Even moreso than them was Yhwach. This was a character that EVERYONE hates and wants stopped, even Aizen. Ulquiorra has learned what he did to Harribel, and isn't willing to trust him despite his claims of wanting to end death. On the flip side, Ichigo's presence was more appreciated. He has come to respect him a bit more after their 2nd battle, and Ichigo still remembers how Ulquiorra acted towards Orihime as he faded away.
- His grand power granted by his Segunda Etapa has attracted the likes of Hisoka. The clown is looking for a chance to kill a strong opponent. Unfortunately for him, Ulquiorra doesn't care to enjoy such things and would rather Sonido out of there, disappointing Hisoka.
- Elsewhere, the Espada became within range of Meruem's senses, who then asks him what he's doing here. Instead of answering, Ulquiorra inspects the pair, wondering exactly what their relationship is. This causes Meruem to take an ear.
Meruem: Don't make me repeat myself.- As Ulquiorra healed his ear, he asked what Meruem sees in someone who frail. Meruem responded by saying Komugi is someone whom he has deemed worth protecting. Her ability to consistently beat him in gungi is something that makes her stronger than him. Ulquiorra realizes that Komugi's very existence completes Meruem, and leaves having remembered why he didn't simply kill Orihime even after Aizen said she was useless.
- Monokuma and his mastermind once came to the Espada and expected him to share in their joy of inflicting despair onto others. While he has managed to do this to Ichigo, it was more of a means to an end than something to enjoy. Ulquiorra thinks these two are "disgusting" for finding pleasure in such behavior. The same can be said about Esdeath, who has no true loyalty to anyone but herself. Not even Tatsumi or Honest could change her. On the flip side, Makoto Naegi has criticized him for trying to drive Ichigo into despair. Ulquiorra tells him that his fight seemed futile until his unexpected transformation. Makoto doesn't care since he was just trying to save his friend. Ulquiorra then deemed this conversation meaningless since it wasn't going anywhere, and left.
- Another villain who was nihilistic but was hit with Death Equals Redemption is Malos. They both saw nothing in the blessings of humans, seeing them as nothing more than obstacles. It helps that even Malos has a line or two that he won't cross. However, in both of their final moments, they showed another side of themselves that doesn't usually pop up.
- In the world(s) of Kingdom Hearts, the heroes stood in opposition to Ulquiorra (mainly because he looks like a bad guy and kidnapped Orihime). Sora in particular tried to obstruct him saying "My friends are my power". Ulquiorra, only with a minuscule understanding of hope, knew that such words alone wouldn't go very far. Thus, he tore a hole in each of the Keybearers chests using only his Sonido and Super-Strength. He didn't even need to use his Resurrección.
- The house that Ulquiorra found himself in had him greeted by Auriel. In spite of the above hero killing, she has decided to give him the benefit of the doubt and appeal to his better nature. This sparks Ulquiorra to ask her if she fears him, as with Orihime. Auriel denies any such notion, claiming that everyone has the chance to redeem themselves. Having never met anyone quite like Auriel, Ulquiorra simply leaves without attacking her.
- Archaon the Everchosen has caught Ulquiorra's attention. The former wants to destroy everything after he found out who he is. This reminds Ulqiorra of when he fused with the Hogyoku and tried to destroy everything, deeming all life meaningless. It helps that neither of them believe there is a God worth worth worshipping.
- One person who Ulquiorra doesn't really like is The Joker. The clown thinks they're Not So Different since they think life is "one big joke". Unlike the Joker, Ulquiorra managed to get angry at something COMPLETELY DIFFERENT from what pisses off the Clown Prince of Crime. Realizing that he's not funny doesn't get under his skin at all. His anger stemmed from Ichigo's refusal to give up, even when outmatched. This difference make the clown Not Worth Killing in Ulquiorra's eyes, no him leaving infuriates him.
- In another house, Ulquiorra found Madara Uchiha, who he was able to bond with. Madara is cynical, so he believes the only way to secure everyone's happiness is to trap them in a fake world. Both this and Ulquiorra's attempt to break Ichigo failed, with them finding a small sliver of happiness when approached by one of their enemies. Naturally, this has made him an enemy of Obito since he was tricked by Madara.
- Back in his own house, Ulquiorra met Emperor Calus, who was unaffected by his nihilism. Calus was once subjected to something similar, only to regain his sense of determination. According to him, one's limited time to live means you should enjoy yourself as much as you can. Seeking enjoyment isn't something that Ulquiorra has really considered, so he's not sure how to respond to this notion. Calus tells him that fun is something that feels particularly rewarding after a hard day of work.

@227someguy: I took a look at your profile for Ulquiorra and that I think it is good. There is something I am wondering about, since Aizen is not mentioned in the profile, does this mean that Ulquiorra severed contact with Aizen?
I am wondering that if Ulquiorra ascends into the pantheon and meets his fellow Bleach God's then how would he react to seeing Orihime again? I think Orihime might be conflicted seeing Ulquiorra.

#167115: Jul 28th 2020 at 1:07:36 PM
Aizen's likely not mentioned because he's not in the Pantheon anymore, and we generally don't focus much on interactions on non-ascended characters here.
Can I put Hana and the Wolf-Man in Demideities as we sort profiles by the highest ranking member for group profiles?
EDIT: Done.
Also, I removed an edit on Pacifica Northwest's profile as it has a theme song not canonically associated with her.

Sure.
Going to make a few suggestions for new profiles:
- I talked to Ferot Dreadnaught privately about adopting the Gundam Meisters profile and they were OK with me adopting that idea. They have Start X to Stop X since their main goal is to stop wars that are occuring in their war through the use of Gundams, powerful war weapons. I'm wondering if this still works or if they can have Hypocrisy Nod since they're well aware of the extreme measures they're taking to try and stop the violence that's prevalent in their world.
- I'm thinking of giving Min Min Repetitive Name. There's a bit of Punny Name at work since she has access to ARMS known as Ram Ram, effectively making this Ram-Min Ram-Min. That and she is the poster girl for Mintendo Noodle House and "the Japanese pronunciation takes care to add a separate sound to her name, making it sound more like "miàn miàn", the Chinese word for noodles that would evolve into "ramen".
- I also have an idea for giving Black Dynamite Blaxploitation Parody. The film is a parody and tribute to blaxpoitation and featuring many elements of that genre, with both the film and the animated series being set in the 1970s, the time period when blaxpoitation films were prevalent.
Any thoughts?

I have some ideas: Yellow Lightning, Blue Lightning to Toxtricity: I know that we are trying to keep Pokemon suggestions to minimum, but I think they work due to how the two different forms have different electricity colors depending on their nature and have different movesets. I also think that Rockers Smash Guitars might work because of their Gigantamax form move.
Medical Game to Derek Stiles and Angie Thompson: I think that these two would be the best representatives of the series considering the two are the most prominent characters in the series. I would need help with a profile due to the fact I've only played Trauma Team.
Erina from Rabi-Ribi for Playboy Bunny: For me the Playboy Bunny trope should go to girl who always or almost always wears a bunny costume. I haven't played the game yet, but I think she works because she was bunny who becomes a human and stays like this in the end.

Can you be a little more clear on the the Toxtricity one.

For Erina. I think it should go to someone who has Playboy Bunny as part of her career or something she wears somewhat regularly. Like Mai Sakurajima, for example.
r-lock: You might want to take your suggestion for Min Min up with kingvideogames. I think they planned to have the entire ARMS roster for Extendable Arms (incidentally leaving Spring Coil for Robot Master Spring Man). They just haven't updated their sandbox accordingly yet, that's all.

There's always Astalos for Yellow Lightning, Blue Lightning. It's a Flying Wyvern attuned to the element of Thunder that generates yellow-green electricity when charged up which also helps signifies the fact it can afflict Paralysis via its scissor tail. It's Boltreaver Deviant, meanwhile, has instead blue-colored bolts when charged up.
