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 want to reserve a trope if it isn’t taken.

Meteora Butterfly, Goddess of Ambiguous Innocence

Reasoning: When she regains her memories of being Meteora, it becomes apparent that many of her actions stem from having never matured emotionally or morally due to St. Olga's abuse. Meteora's rampage, is less a monstrous, evil mastermind like Toffee, and more akin to an abused child lashing out at everything around her with little to no understanding her actions are evil. Her mother and father were also taken from her and sealed in crystals while she was a child.

[up] I think I remember Alice from Shin Megami Tensei having the trope. Can someone verify?

Alice (SMT) indeed has that trope already

The forum is quick absolute rubbish at giving input for profiles, eh? The profiles and idea suggestions vastly outnumber the feedback given.

@ r-lock: Pit, despite being the captain of the guard and being a very capable soldier, is the target of snark by just about everyone in his adventures.

He also gets transformed a bit though he never gains the ability at will. Plus, a walking eggplant and tempura is about as useful as one expect it would be. More seriously, Pit was at one point kicked out of his own body and his soul was transformed into a ring where his body would help havoc on humanity for years before eventually setting things right.

Balrog is also pretty poor at managing his cash. If he nets a large sum he's sure to spend it for all its worth to live opulently before running out and moving on to another, likely shady job.

Okuyasu Niijimura is a designated target by enemy Stands. By contrast however, he's surprisingly pretty good with his money. Ikuyasu is a self-ackowledged Dumb Muscle and has his fair share of greed like his pal Josuke, sure, but he's quite frugal. He not only chooses to put his money into his savings but also is stated to have saved enough to support him and his father for five or six years.

@ Faso: Considering the experience with The Wall and its warden Dimitri they probably won't like other gods like Magellan, The Warden and Kilian Experience who have experience with running their own prisons.

The Omniverse Museum is all but ready except for the Wing descriptions. I could use some help with it.

Hello Kitty, Omnipresent Goddess of Series Mascots (Kitty White, Kitty-chan)

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/hello_kitty_5.png
  • Lesser Goddess, can become stronger in certain situations
  • Theme Song: Hello Kitty and Friends
  • Symbol: A pink flower bow
  • Alignment: Neutral Good
  • Portfolio: The Color Pink, Merchandise Everywhere, Funny Animals, Civilized Animals, Appealing to Girls, Boys, Children and Adults, Japanese Cuteness, Action Girl
  • Heralds: Mary White (mother), George White (father), Mimmy White (sister), Dear Daniel (boyfriend)
  • Allies:
  • Odd Friendship: Amuro Ray, Kouji Kabuto
  • Every fictional work that wishes to make it big in the eyes of the public requires a Series Mascot for easier identification. Whether it's "cute", "hot", or otherwise, this mascot has to represent the series as a whole, be easily identifiable, and be distinguishable from other mascots. As a long-running Cash-Cow Franchise mascot in Japan for Sanrio, Hello Kitty was nominated to represent this trope. In fact, all of the media she came from (cartoons, video games, and toys) were added after her origins as Sanrio's marketing icon.
  • Kitty has no actual powers, but she was elevated from Quasideity to Demigoddess once the gods learned of her true secret ability: being in many places at once.
    • And then when her Roller Rescue adventure was made known, as well as what she's got there, not to mention her crossover with Gundam, her rank was corrected again into Lesser Goddess.
  • Despite her Japanese origins, she's apparently British because she was originally a British fashion label. She's also only as tall as stack of 5 apples, and weighs about three of them.
  • Has befriended a few of her heavily-merchandised Western counterparts, such as Garfield, Spongebob Squarepants, Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, and Mickey Mouse. None of them realized that she could talk, because they rarely ever saw her mouth (though she does have one). Likewise, she was confused by Garfield, another Talking Animal who (rarely) opened his mouth when he spoke.
  • Her cuteness pretty much caused a three way struggle between Chiyo, Yotsuba and Rena Ryuguu who immediately went into I'm Taking Her Home with Me! mode when they met for the first time. This then caused other gods to pretty much die of cuteness overload from the four until Hello Kitty handed the three stuffed toys of her liking, that way they had their own Hello Kitty of their own. Then other younger goddesses came and begged for their own Hello Kitty toys from her. Let's just say that Hello Kitty's been going into the House of Craft often because of that.
  • Once got into a Street Fighter mood and soon had dolls of her dressed up as Ryu, Chun-Li and M. Bison (OF COURSE!). Ryu's reaction was confused, Chun-Li cooed over hers, and M. Bison just took a doll of his own and stormed off.
  • Denies being a cat, despite her appearance! She was placed here instead of the house of Felines at her own request. What she is is a gijinka cat; just like Mickey Mouse, she's not human but not quite the animal she looks like either.
  • If fighting becomes necessary for her, she has a magic wand (or "toy hammer" or "Mambo" maraca) and roller skates at her disposal for whacking foes with (as well as an area-of-effect Love Radiation) and maneuvers. It's also where she first tangled with a Humongous Mecha driven by the main boss, even if all she could do was stall it long enough for Keroppi's Photon Cannon to charge and finish it off.
    • And in the face of Kaiju-size threats, if the usual heroes aren't available, she has a CHOGOKIN mecha in her likeness as a reward for answering an Honest Axe situation correctly when she dropped her Mazinger Z action figure in a lake. It has three modes of travel besides walking; Drive Mode for vehicle-like cruising, Dive Mode for underwater travel, and Flight Mode for traversing the skies. As for weapon systems however, it only has a Rocket Punch that isn't even that powerful but seems to be able to sap an opponent's will to fight. She can likely attack physically with her mecha, too.
  • Street Fighter isn't even the strangest crossover she's been a part of; She once received a distress signal from Haro through a TV to save Amuro Ray. It was a… confusing affair, to say the least. While he doesn't remember that incident, he appreciates her desire for peace.
    • It wouldn't be her first crossover with mechas, however. During a stroll on her Chogokin Hello Kitty, she saw a certain Jet Scrander flying overhead. Seconds later, as she heard someone call for her to get out of the way, Mazinger Z crashed into her mecha, and for some inexplicable reason, their color themes were swapped (with Kitty's mech getting the black scheme and red heat chest plates, and Kouji's mech getting Kitty's ribbon in place of his usual Breast Fire panels). Still, when the opposition came, they managed to send those goons packing.
    • As a result of this, she has an honorary spot in the GUAG Robot War Division and is undergoing training in order to provide support.

And here's my first draft for one of the Treasures.

  • Portfolio: Clingy MacGuffin, Transformation Trinket, Swiss-Army Superpower.
  • Domains: Chaos, Nature, Transformation
  • Creator: Azmuth
  • Current Owner: Ben Tennyson
  • Coveted By: Vilgax, Dr. Gero, Dr. Albert Wily, Gate, Wat Tambor
  • Related Artifacts: The Escafil Device
  • The Omnitrix was developed by Azmuth to promote interstellar peace as an apology to his lover Zenith after his previous creation Ascalon brought about violence. It can preserve over a million DNA samples in which the user can transform into that being for a limited time. It can also act as a back drive for the universe it came from in case any species go extinct.
  • The Omnitrix was meant for Max Tennyson, but being Max's grandson, the close genetic match allowed Ben (and, in an alternate timeline, Gwen) to use it.
  • In regards to its use in the Pantheon, given that there are plenty of different species that Ben can potentially copy, he was given a decree by the Court of the Goods with a warning not to scan or use the species of any overly powerful species without giving him a restriction until they can fully work out the kinks of what to restrict. Ben was aware of this and had to turn down the chance to scan a Saiyan, despite Son Goku's pleas. However, he did sneak in the chance to obtain some other species like the Maltusians and Supreme Kai.
    • Some time after Azmuth's ascension, when he learned of the thousands of species in the Pantheon and documented them, he managed to convince Ben to surrender the Omnitrix for a while, after which he consulted with the experts in the House of Technology and the GUAG White Hats to help input the necessary restrictions the Court wanted on it. This is only unlockable by trusted GUAG officers such as mid to high-ranking White Hats. The new program that prevents Ben from harnessing prohibited species updates itself periodically for every new ascension to the Pantheon.
  • The Omnitrix donated to the Vault is actually just the 'prototype' Azmuth created. The real 'completed' one is with Ben himself.
  • The DNA samples used by the Omnitrix come from the artificially grown planet Primus, which essentially serves as an archive for those samples. Contrary to popular belief, the Omnitrix doesn't need to be constantly synchronized to Primus (the connection of which can transcend dimensions and thus has no problem reaching the Pantheon) in order to function, any more than an iPod needs constant access to one's computer to play music that was added in. Azmuth also had to have Primus updated to segregate any DNA samples foreign to his and Ben's universe from the usual samples.
    • As for how these samples can go, they can go beyond just organic and can copy synthetic (Echo Echo, Upgrade), cosmic (Way Big), and even multi-dimensional (Alien X). However, it's limited to samples from species with a certain level of intellectual sapience (in Earth, available species include human, dolphin, and mouse) to avoid corruption of the user's intellectual mind. The most feral transformation available thus far without repercussion is the Vulpimancer species (Wildmutt).
  • It has quite an expansive amount of features the user has access to.
    • The first and most known one is Transformation, which turns the user (instantly) into the prime (a.k.a fittest and healthiest) version of the selected species (but never their own species) relative to their own age, and (when working properly) downloads the instincts native to that species to avoid cases of How Do I Shot Web?. These transformations come equipped by the Omnitrix with special handicaps needed to sustain the transformation, such as NRG's radiation suit, Goop's anti-gravity projector, and Brainstorm's breathing brace. It may also provide the user with uniforms, some even retaining elements associated with the alien's homeworld attire.
      • Despite being able to use synthetic beings' "DNA samples", the Omnitrix can only make incomplete transformations in such cases, like with Galvan Mechamorphs (Upgrade).
      • Transformations can be automatic if the user's life is in danger and the Omnitrix will turn its user into the needed alien to survive.
      • The time limit for transformation is usually up to 10 Earth minutes (for the prototype Omnitrix), but tends to be inconsistent due to Ben slapping on the Omnitrix too hard whenever he activates it.
      • In addition, the user can only transform into one alien at a time and would need to wait out the time limit and recharge mode before continuing. However, with the Life Form Lock function or Master Control, a user can remain in one transformed state for an indefinite amount of time. That said, for the completed Omnitrix, Ben can choose to turn back earlier, skipping the Recharge mode and letting him transform again far quicker.
    • The second is Recharge, which it reverts to after the time limit has been reached to prevent the user from being overwhelmed by the DNA samples as it fuses with the user's biology itself. This state lasts until its internal core is refreshed enough to do another Transformation.
    • Third is the Capture setting, where the Omnitrix can store new DNA samples into its database, which works either by touch or by extended projection, regardless of whether or not the user is currently transformed.
    • Fourth is the Recalibration mode, only seen in the Prototype Omnitrix. This only occurred when it has been dormant for a long period of time without use, in which some time is required before it's available for use once more.
    • Fifth is the Self-Destruct mode, which is the only thing that can destroy the Omnitrix (it can otherwise survive even multiversal-level destruction). The default time is set to 30 seconds, but if the charge were to build up long enough (as many as a few days), it can destroy the entire universe.
  • Other features of the Omnitrix include a Universal Translator (almost pointless in the Pantheon), protection from mind control and possession, protection from toxic influences, universal-range GPS, voice command, randomizer function, homing device, and audio-visual two-way communication. It can also manipulate DNA of other beings in range, mostly for restorative purposes.
  • Most significant of these functions however is the Master Control, unlockable only by Azmuth. In this mode, the user can remain transformed indefinitely, and change between forms without reverting to their default form first.
  • As for failsafes, on top of Self-Destruct Mode, a green energy eruption occurs when someone tries to remove the Omnitrix from Ben by force. It's also genetically locked to Ben ''in its present-day perspective (meaning even a younger version of Ben can't use it). It also preserved the user's self-consciousness for example by not going into Recharge mode while the user is still split as a Splixson (Ditto).
  • That said, the Omnitrix still has hundreds of other features Ben does not know about. For example, he does not know how to access the setting that changes the user's gender to adapt to another species.
  • There are theories as to why on occasion the Omnitrix doesn't transform Ben into the alien he desires. Most of these theories tend to assume the Omnitrix is sentient in a sense and chooses what he needs to be rather than what he wants to be. Given it's sentient enough to manipulate Ben's hand when it and he were dimensionally displaced, this is highly likely.
  • Despite the wide variety of available DNA samples, the Omnitrix has exception in what it can scan. These include:
  • Within limits set by the Court of the Gods (and later Azmuth), Ben has tried collecting DNA samples from the folllowing Pantheon denizens.
    • Twilight Sparkle: She wanted to see what if it would turn him into the ideal pony or the ideal unicorn, and see how far it can go. Result: Did not work, as the Omnitrix cannot scan magical creatures.
      • Because they were in the area, Spike and Pinkie Pie were also scanned (at the latter's insistence). Neither worked either as even earth ponies had latent magic in them. Twilight skipped on Ben scanning the pegasi after that, and the power limit means no scanning the Princesses or Discord.
    • The TARDIS: Done by accident after Ben met with the Doctor, who refused to be scanned by the Omnitrix. Due to her nature as living spaceships depicted as commonplace objects, the Omnitrix cannot scan her.
    • Scarface: Scan successful, but out of respect for Scarface and his kind's code, Ben doesn't use the transformation.
    • Groot: Scan successful.
    • Treebeard: Scan successful, surprsingly. Presumably, Ben can scan elves, dwarves, hobbits, orcs, or even Uruk-Hai, but not Maiar such as Gandalf.
  • He hasn't scanned these yet, but there are theories as to the results:
    • The Crystal Gems: Would probably work, depending on the scanned Gem (Amethyst, Pearl, Peridot, Ruby, Sapphire, or even Diamond). Due to his hybrid nature, it's advised not to scan Steven.

You like sailor sentai and bishojo, don't you

Got a few ideas. What do you think?

  • Methuselah, God of The Sacred Darkness (House of Darkness and Shadow): Methuselah is an old Anthropomorphic Personification formed from proto-man personifying the darkness around then. He's a lonely deity and somewhat negatively influenced/inclined by man, but remains an Anti-Villain still
  • Girafarig, God of Palindromes (House of Naming Identification, True Neutral)-Girafarig is a palindrome, and its Japanese kanji also has the same effect. It also has a head on each end, in part referencing the palindrome
  • Melmetal, Deity of Metal Eaters (House of Consumption, True Neutral)-a mass of hulking fluid metal, the Meltan line is a mythical Pokemon who's diet subsists on metal so it can grow and develop.

Is there any deity for Censor Box? I was thinking of preparing CENSORED from Lobotomy Corporation for the deity of this trope, for obvious reasons I hope, being quite literally a big pile of CENSOR boxes and with 90% of the things we know about it being CENSOR boxes. It quite literally embodies the idea of censor boxes.

I wanted to add a paragraph of text to the Unconquered Sun's profile in the House of Heroes. Right now as it stands, it's not clear to the reader why people like the Love etc pity him, and I feel there are a few misunderstandings about him in said profile. Here's the paragraph:

The Fatal Flaw of The Unconquered Sun, and the reason several gods pity him, is this: As an Embodiment of Virtue, he physically cannot be less than perfectly virtuous in every way. Every time he faces a moral dilemma is torturous to him, and when he has to pick one virtue over another, he loses the part of his very being associated with the discarded virtue along with the powers associated with that virtue in a process best likened to spiritual self-dismemberment. This is a fundamental part of his nature that he cannot change, and he was created to be this way. He physically cannot commit a Necessary Evil without essentially tearing off a part of his very being.

Leaving a suggestion here.

  • Fletcher, Goddess of Rare Drops (DD-445, DDE-445, Code Letter: NEBG, Fighting Fletcher, Callsign: RADISH) - A textbook case of this trope. She's only available as a random drop during limited-time events on certain maps (specifically on boss nodes, many of which are known for being very difficult to clear), and even then, the chances of actually obtaining her are still very low. And because of her status as one of the newer ships in-game, she has had significantly fewer drop rate-ups compared to many of her peers.

Fan made content such as fan games and fanfiction certainly have a weaker claim, but if you present a good enough argument, even fan-made characters can become deities.

IIRC, Saikou TLK once wanted to give Urotsuki Fan Sequel. Maybe Aeneas should get it instead, as his tale is a far older example and a sequel to The Iliad not written by Homer but rather a fan of his named Virgil.

[down]That one sounds good. [tup] Pity Markiplier never played the third game.

So I got 2 Five Nights At Freddys fangame ideas. One is one of the most popular and successful FNAF fan games out there.

The Candy's Burger and Fries Crew, Gods of Fan Projects Approved By The Original Creator: Scott Cawthon himself complimented both the original teaser trailer for the game and the finished project itself. While that's pretty standard for the trope, Scott then later made the series part of the "Fazbear Fanverse Initiative" project, which not only gives more funding for the next game, it even allows the series to profit off of official merchandise. Being one of (If not THE) most popular FNAF fan games out there certainly helps.
