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:
    • The very first thing any contributor should do before working on an idea or a profile is to propose and nominate the idea on the Trope Pantheons discussion thread. In the forums, you must discuss with other users on adding ideas and seek their approval with sound reasoning, a paragraph of reasoning to justify taking a trope should be sufficient. 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. You can also get some assistance in the forum thread by either asking for help and those interested asking if they can help. Attempting to work on ideas without a nomination and at least one net thumbs-up will not be accepted regardless of how much you have written already. 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    • If you feel the need to remove a character for some reason (poor quality, outdated titles, etcetera) and replace him/her with another or outright rework, please see what the other tropers think about this in the discussion thread before doing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. For reworks in particular, nominate the idea as you would with new characters or profiles. 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.
      • 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, either in the Pantheon or the Sandbox sections.
    • 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 creativity to create hypothetical scenarios towards fictional characters. Some real-life individuals, including content creators (fictional content created by them is still fair-game, but do not bring up the creators themselves in such cases), may be considered disqualified for profiles due to controversies that would make them concern the Rule of Cautious Editing Judgment. To determine where a current creator would be disqualified:
      • Wait for at least a month after the latest significant update for a creator's controversy before any decision can be made. If a confirmation from the questioned creator (or associates) themselves occurs, then wait for a week.
      • Immediate disqualification for either a guilty sentence in a significant court case against the creator, or evidence of consistently repeated, deliberate, and/or intentionally provocative hate speech and advocacy of dehumanizing perspectives, with lesser examples warranting caution instead.
      • For creators with a clear persona of their character disclosed before any scandal, the persona can have a profile with no mentioning of their real-life information. Ambiguous existence of a persona would have to be discussed further hand for anything more decisive.
    • For obvious reasons, gods cannot be followers, high priests, or heralds. 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 Expansion, 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 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 one flavor 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 to look like Character Shilling.
    • Every troper new to the Pantheon is barred from approving or downvoting profiles until they have ascended at least two profiles, this means avoiding the usage of "[tup]" or "[tdown]".
    • 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 the 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. After all, no one is responding to their idea.
    • You can also adopt a profile or idea to work on from another contributor by messaging a request to them (preferably through private messages). Even if you get their permission, you still have to announce your adoption to the forum. Note that if the idea wasn't nominated in the first place you still have to properly nominate it.
  • 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 note in a trope example that the character is a God of this trope, do not do it. If you see leftovers of this practice, correct the situation by deleting the offending text. This goes for any non-Pantheon 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 Pantheon.Good And Evil Colors.
    • Do not bring things that would incite fights; hot topics and 'urgent' news are not pertinent to the Pantheon's mission. For example, the political scene and some really bad politicians. We are not here to fight each other, so don't suggest things that go in 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:
  • When writing a profile for a character, here are a few things to note:
    • Please refer to Text Formatting Rules when writing a profile, since understanding how to make and edit site pages in general is a necessity for working on profiles or other Pantheon content. Additionally, if you are not experienced with English, refer to this forum page, as proper English spelling and grammar is expected.
    • 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 another House as well. Up to 2 places can be made for a deity at most.
    • 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 of their series' official soundtracks from the 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 highlight 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 it 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 many bytes, it is suggestible to use this site to reduce the byte size. If the byte is still too big, run the compressed image through other sites (or even the same one) to compress even further. Use wikis to look for better images, as even wikis 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 make 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. 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 an expectation to build the profiles off interactions from fictional portrays rather than basing it entirely 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 where trope-less profiles 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 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.
    • Do not write in self-promotion or blatant advertising. Minor references to something are fine but writing that clearly intends to advertise something will not be given toleration.
  • 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 on 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 Warper deities 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 Warper deities 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 Warper beings 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: Badass Normal citizens of the pantheon, making up for their lower status 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/Goddess/Deity 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 the 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 alignments to characters that don't have an 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 the deity would be unavailable, incapacitated, dead, or otherwise incapable of carrying out their duties. 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 from their perspective 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 oppose or are opposed by (basically the opposite of "Respects", "On Good Terms With", and/or "Commonality Connection") in 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.
      • OPTIONAL NOTE FOR CHARACTER RELATIONSHIPS: Should the list for Character relationships (IE. Allies, Enemies, etc.) become too big, categorize a certain number of characters to a specific group putting them on a sublist (One example: Luigi is from the same world as his brother Mario, hence Luigi should be fall under the Super Mario Bros sublist.)
  • 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 is 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 of 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 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 to 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 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 to 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 more.
    • Note: Standard amount of flavor text for Treasures is 7 at minimum to 12 at maximum.

[up] Airy is a cute fairy who is actually an evil manipulator who strings along the Heroes of Luxendarc to charge up the crystals as to awake her master Ouroboros so he can destroy the Celestial Realm, and her methods involved the destruction of countless timelines.

Abigail Williams also houses an Eldritch Abomination (Yog-Sothoth) in herself, but is much more benevolent.

Given how Akumu is her SOUL manifested, she should beware of those who have power over souls like the Maiden in Black.

Posting for feedback on these profiles. I was also wondering if the pieces of heart line storyline below and examples are okay to add, or if they are an unnecessary addition.


Cassiopeia and Shadar, Co-Gods of In-Universe Revelations (Cassiopeia: The White Witch, Pea, Her Radiance, Monster of Manna || Shadar: The Dark Djinn, The Executor, Lucien)

    • Shadar: His hood silhouetting his face
  • Theme Music:
  • Alignment: Lawful Evil for both; Lucien was originally Neutral Good before becoming Shadar and has most likely become True Neutral with good tendencies; Cassiopeia was Neutral Good before becoming the White Witch and has since returned to this alignment
  • Profile: Woobie, Destroyer of Worlds, Good people that fell into evil as a result of a horrible tragedy, Really 700 Years Old, Heel–Face Turn
  • Domains: Magic, Tragic Villains, Despair
  • Herald:
    • Cassiopeia: The Kingdom of Nazcaa (excluding the original Council of Twelve (except for Horus))
  • Allies: Obito Uchiha, Nagato, Anakin Skywalker, Ben Solo, Golbez, Kuja, Megamind, Zeref, Nine the Phantom, Ash Ketchum, Harry Potter, Luke Skywalker, Steven Universe, Naruto Uzumaki, Rey, Akko Kagari, Diana Cavendish, Shiny Chariot
  • Enemies: Lord Voldemort, Belatrix Lestrange, Peter Petigrew, Fenrir Greyback, Dementors, Slytherin's Monster, Sauron, The Witch-king of Angmar, Melkor, Sheev Palpatine, The Wicked Witch of the West, Jadis the White Witch, Prime Minister Honest, Mina Loveberry, Madara Uchiha
  • Additional Relationships: Oliver
  • Sympathetic to: Odio
  • Complicated Relationship: Star Butterfly
  • Cassiopeia is the daughter of the Wizard King, succeeding her father as ruler of Nazcaa at a very young age when he passed away. Due to becoming queen at a very young age, she was kept sheltered as the corrupt council ran her kingdom to ground, all the while putting all the blame on her. Growing older and seeing the state of her kingdom, Cassiopeia tried to save her Kingdom with the spell of manna, only for the spell to turn everyone into monsters that killed each other, destroying everything and leaving her alone for 10,000 years. Slowly going from the lonliness and guilt of destroying her kingdom, Cassiopeia finally snapped when she manifested Pea, the embodiment of her childhood innocence. Lashing out and banishing Pea, and with her the last vestiges of her humanity, Cassiopeia became the White Witch, recreating the council and her pet bird Apus as figments of her imagination made real, vowing to destroy and recreate the world until it becomes flawless in her image.
    • Shadar was originally Lucien, a young and idealistic mage who wanted bring peace and trained in the art of magic so he can protect the people of Belicosia. However, his kingdom showed its true colors when Lucien's superiors ordered an invasion of Rubicon, with the soldiers ordered to slaughter everyone in their path to kill a sage. Refusing to take part in the massacre, Lucien instead saved a young girl, only to be punished by his superiors by being Forced to Watch his village be burned to the ground. Filled with despair and grief, Lucien would meet the White Witch, who granted him power in exchange for becoming her executor, allowing him to destroy his former kingdom and vow to create a world without war through tyranny.
    • When Oliver eventually reached the other world, both the White Witch and Shadar attempted to destroy him to prevent him from intervening with their goals, with Shadar even revealing that Alicia is Oliver's mother and there was never a chance to save her. Despite this, Oliver is able to persevere and stop them with the aid of his friends, Pea, and the soul of the Wizard King. Shadar meets his end at the hands of Oliver, with the former impressed by his resolve as he decides to sever the link between their souls so Oliver would continue living, while also meeting the soul of Alicia and learning that she was the young girl he saved all those years ago, allowing him to pass on peacefully to the afterlife. Cassiopeia meanwhile is eventually restored to her original kind-hearted self as she helps Oliver's party the last remnants of the Zodiarchs, the corrupt council she recreated from her memories, before vowing to atone for her sins, starting by planting flowers.
  • The Court of the Gods were interested in the duo's tale, especially since they somehow knew ahead of time they were working together while their enemies didn't know of the White Witch's existence and believed Shadar was the sole threat. Sending a messenger to Cassiopeia and informing her of the Pantheon, Cassiopeia agreed to come and represent a trope so long as she could plant flowers as her way of atonement. Upon arrival, Cassiopeia was shocked to find Lucien as well, who found his way to the Pantheon sometime after death. The Court of the Gods made them the representations of In-Universe Revelations since those who have heard of Oliver's tale knew of the White Witch's existence long Oliver ever found out. The duo accepted and while making themselves at home, took the time to speak to each other, not as master and servant, but as friends.
  • Oliver is surprised to see the two in the Pantheon, but is nevertheless pleased to see them now, knowing of their tragedies and how they've become better people. The feeling is mutual on their end, with the two owing their change to him. Oliver has improved his magic in the Pantheon, impressing Cassiopeia and Lucien as they see his prowess as a wizard grow. Oliver has also asked Lucien if his mother managed to join him in the Pantheon, only for Lucien to sadly explain no, she was not able to follow him, much to the boy's disappointment. That being said, Lucien did tell Oliver his mother had said hello and that she's proud of him, something that makes Oliver happy very much, giving him hope that one day he'll see her again.
  • (Relationship with Harry Potter, Luke Skywalker, Steven Universe, Naruto Uzumaki)
  • The duo would cross paths with other villains who fell into despair and became evil because of it, just like they did. Obito Uchiha, Nagato, Anakin Skywalker, and Ben Solo all fell into darkness due to tragic circumstances and wanted to enforce peace through their own methodsnote . All of them have since reformed and are working to atone for their sins, so Cassiopeia and Lucien became quick friends with them as they also seek atonement for their sins.
    • They would also cross paths with other villains who seek atonement for their sins they committed without the good intentions, namely Kuja and Golbez. In this case, both suffered from brainwashing from a truly vile villain (Kefka and Zemus respectively), reminding Cassiopeia of when she was manipulated by the Council of Twelve. Cassiopeia and Lucien would also become friends with the two, promising to help them with their atonement, with Kuja and Golbez accepting.
    • Megamind was a supervillain only because he grew up with people expecting him to, but once he finds love, he is able to redeem himself and become the new superhero of Metro City when Metro Man "retired". Megamind admits he's actually happier this way because he now has a real purpose, and he hopes to help Cassiopeia and Lucien find theirs during their atonement.
  • Understandably, the pair aren't fond Dark Lords and Wizards, especially the likes of Lord Voldemort, Melkor, Palpatine, and Sauron. These evil beings were interested in the pair's powerful Dark Magic (The Ashes of Manna and the Power to Take Hearts), both wanting to weaponize these spells for their own uses. Neither Cassiopeia nor Lucien are willing to let them take their magic and use it for evil ever again, and show just powerful with their new allies at their side.
  • Prime Minister Honest is easily the god the duo dislike the most, and for good reason. His manipulation and corruption of the young Emperor reminds Cassiopeia of how she was used by the Council, and his corrupt rule of the empire reminds Lucien of Belicosia's Warmongering tendencies and willingness to slaughter innocent civlians. Both are willing to kill Honest for his corruption, with Honest actually fearing their magic after seeing what they're capable of.
    • Lucien looks down of Esdeath's warmongering and Blood Knight tendencies. To him, Esdeath is a living reminder of the bloodshed he was forced to witness, leading to his Start of Darkness. Esdeath in turn doesn't really care about Lucien's views, still believing in survival of the fittest, but is eager to battle him and see his power close up. Lucien has absolutely nothing but contempt to the point that he quickly just goes for a swift and anticlimactic end, unwilling to humor her. All this does is make Esdeath more eager to fight him.
  • The duo are conflicted about Star, since even though they understand why she did, Star destroying all magic puts a bad taste in their mouth because it reminds them of the destruction of their homelands, not to mention how Cassiopeia had tried to destroy and remake world many times. That said, they're aren't exactly thrilled with Mina, who is actively seeking genocide and refuses to stop no matter what.
  • Cassiopeia and Lucien were very sympathetic with the likes of Zeref and Nine the Phantom, seeing how the two were driven to villainy by love just like Anakin and Obito were. Zeref and Nine in turn were also sympathetic towards the two for suffering from the tragedy that made them evil in the first place. They spent time discussing their magic and how they can use it improve other's lives.
  • Odio has earned the pair's sympathy, considering how his life was ruined because one of his friends was jealous of his reputation and turned everyone against him so he can be the hero instead. Odio still has remained cynical, but admits that he does envy Cassiopeia managing to find someone to restore her faith. Odio also admits that he envies Lucien for having someone accompany him to the afterlife, whereas he died alone.
  • Though Madara did suffer through a lifetime of misery, most of it was self-inflicted, and he did cause Obito's Start of Darkness intentionally, giving Cassiopeia bad memories. Despite no longer causing trouble as he once did, neither Cassiopeia nor Lucien are as willing to reach out to him, considering he's still a Blood Knight (something that Shadar looks down) and unsociable person.
  • Ash once dealt with living illusions once (when his mother was kidnapped by an illusory Entei and he has to save her and Molly from the Unown when their power to grant Molly's was threatening the outside world. Ash sympathizes with Cassiopeia greatly, remembering when Molly depended on illusions when her family disappeared, but is glad that she was finally able to let go of the past and start living in the present.
  • Harry Potter, a good friend to Oliver, saw the two as the Good Counterpart to Lord Voldemort since they both have powerful magic and were immortal in a sense. However, Voldemort remained unrepentant to the very end, condeming his mutilated and fractured soul to limbo for eternity, whereas Cassiopeia and Lucien were able to find redemption in the end (Lucien gets to pass on to the afterlife peacefully, while Cassiopeia manages to live and regain her lost heart). Harry is proud that Oliver managed to succeed where he failed and is respectful to the two.
  • Akko is very sympathetic to the two after learning of their backstory, and is happy that Oliver was able to save them from their own torment. Akko has already forgiven Shiny Chariot for stealing her magic and is willing to give her the chance to atone. Since Akko and Chariot both want to bring smiles to people, they fully support Cassiopeia's desire to spread flowers and agree to help with this goal.
  • Luke, Rey, and Naruto had helped to redeem Anakin, Ben, Nagato, and Obito, and being the kind of heroes they are, were also able to extend a hand of friendship with Cassiopeia and Lucien. Lucien notes that Luke had lost himself when he failed Ben as a master, yet Rey helped to put him back on the right path, allowing him to return the favor later for her. Lucien sees a lot of himself in Luke after they both lost hope, though he still has fully made peace with himself yet. Luke assures him that as long as there are people willing to give him a chance, and he continues making the effort to make things better, he will eventually.
  • Mischievous magic users were quite interested in Shadar's ability to take people's hearts, drastically changing their personality, and after learning an excess in any virtue that makes a person's heart can also lead to a personality change. After they manage to steal Oliver's spellbook, they used the Take and Give Heart spells to transer different virtues between characters just to see what would happen. Oliver and Lucien had to work together to fix the damage done, enlisting the aid of other sorcerers help them locate all those affected. Some of the most notable examples include:
    • Enthusiasm (Apathy and Laziness)
      • Pinkie Pie's energetic personality is replaced with that of a dull and disinterested Pony, losing all her cheer and zeal
    • Kindness (Cold, Distant, Cruel, or Obnoxious)
      • Muriel becomes just as mean-spirited as Eustace, just like the time her kindness was stolen from her. That kindness was placed into Eustace's heart, causing him and Muriel to effectively switch roles. Such an event is too surreal to Courage,
      • Fluttershy loses her kindness, becoming Fluttercruel once again. The Mane 6, especially Twilight, were all horrified to see their friend turn into this again, and even Discord (who was the first to turn her into Fluttercruel) now finds this unforgiveable, having grown to care for Fluttershy and not wanting her to become this again.
  • (Courage - Fearful or cowardly)
    • Link's loss of courage leaves him unwilling to fight Ganon and protect Zelda any longer, thus making him unworthy to bear the Triforce of Courage.
    • Shaggy was given excess courage, turning him into the brave man he once was when hypnotized. This however, ends up backfiring when Shaggy becomes the biggest threat to the culprit now.
  • (Restraint - Disinhibited)
    • The Student Cultural Society lost their restraint once when Heartseed supressed their inhibitions at random times, and now they're forced to go through them again. Yui becomes more aggressive than usual, Inaba starts shopping in excess, Aoki becomes aggressive trying to protect Yui, etc.
    • Scooby gains excess restraint
  • (Belief - Doubtful, distrusting, lack of faith in others)
    • Geo Stelar becomes distrusting of people once again, secluding himself from others and alienating even his closest friends. Sonia and Luna had experienced this behavior, and this time know that Geo isn't like this willingly.
  • (Confidence - Insecure, passiveness, spinelessness)
    • Rainbow Dash's lack of confidence leaves her unable to perform as a Wonderbolt, and her being shy instead of boastful proves itself to be a severe cause of alarm.
    • Midoriya returns to being the nervous wreck that suffered as a result of being bullied for his intial lack of a Quirk.
  • (Love - Hatred or Detachment)
    • (Cadence and Shining Armor)
    • (Renton and Eureka)
    • (Belle and the Beast)
  • (Ambition - Giving up on dreams)
    • (Katsuki Bakugo)

Moriko Morioka and Yuta Sakurai, Co-Gods of Cross Players (Moriko: Hayashi || Sakurai: Lily)

  • Quasideity IRL, Lesser Gods as their avatars
  • Symbol:
  • Theme Music:
  • Alignment: Neutral Good
  • Profile: Cross Players, Will They or Won't They?, Nice people both in game and in real life
  • Domains: Escapism, MMO, Cross Players, Love
  • Allies: Kirito and Asuna, Yuuki Konno, Yui, Suguha Kirigaya, Shino Asada, Kite, Chiaki Nanami, Lan Hikari and MegaMan.EXE, Karen Kohiruimaki, Tomoko Kuroki, Kei Shirogane, Shizuka Hanekura, Sora and Shiro, Stephanie Dora, Umaru Doma, Ann Takamaki
  • Enemies: Nobuyuki Sugou, Death Gun, Quinella
  • Moriko Morioka is a 30-year old woman who quit office job and became a NEET due to overwhelming stress and depression. Stumbling onto another MMORPG, Moriko starts the game playing as a male character named Hayashi. After a rough beginning, Hayashi quickly befriends a girl named Lily, who helps him adjust and recruits him to her guild, allowing Hayashi to make more friends. Meanwhile, Moriko has a chance encounter with Yuta Sakurai, who unbeknowst to her, is the player behind Lily.
  • Both were invited into the Pantheon not long after they started going out. The Court of the Gods wanted representatives of Cross Players, and found that both Moriko and Sakurai fit the mark all too well. While stunned by the invitation, the duo accepted and found themselves in the Pantheon, awestruck by its wonders. Moriko and Sakurai soon became excited to gods in the Pantheon, and from then on, started living in a temple in the House of Gaming.
  • The two soon became friends with other gamers such as the likes of Kirito and Asuna, Shiroe and Shizuka, and even Sora and Shiro. They were warmly welcomed into the community of gamers, which reminds of their friends from their world. Kirito and Asuna were experienced gamers and served as mentors to Hayashi and Lily, Shizuka once used a male avatar in her game but found it uncomfortable (making her a foil to the pair), and Sora and Shiro are fellow NEETs like Moriko.
    • Moriko is a sympathetic NEET because while she was good at her job, it was too overwhelming for her to continue, so she needed a hobby to take care of the stress. She proudly calls herself an "elite NEET" since she chose the lifestyle, but is embarrassed when other people find out. Sora and Shiro are also proud of being NEETs, but they reassure her choice isn't exactly a bad one and it's okay to have a hobby to depend on in times of stress.
      • Moriko would also meet a fellow NEET and otaku, Tomoko and Umaru respectively. Tomoko came to enjoy Moriko's company so much, coming see her as a big sister or mother figure since she treated her with kindness. Umaru was also sympathetic towards Moriko when she heard that she became a NEET due to a nervous breakdown at work. All three tend to play games together in their free time, while Umaru and Tomoko also ship Moriko with Sakurai and make bets to see how long it will take for them to tie the knot.
  • The House of Love noted how Moriko and and Sakurai meetings together in real life and on game all happened coincidentally, actively wondering if fate has actually shipped them together. Nevertheless, they do think they make a good pair together, much to their embarrassment.
  • Sakurai found a kindred spirit in Ann Takamaki, since he felt ostracized for his mixed heritage. Ann sympathizes with him, having felt discriminated by the students at her high school for the same reasons. Both do enjoy playing games with each other, and Ann even ships Sakurai with Morioko
  • Hayashi and Lily are absolutely horrified and disgusted by the likes of Sugou, Quinella, and Death Watch, since they use virtual reality to commit horrible crimes or atrocities against the innocent. While they simply use a normal MMORPG, it doesn't make the three's crimes any less horrific, and they don't have the experience to deal with them.

Update on the Elder Dragon. Could use some help

The Ender Dragon, Goddess of Technicolored Demises (Jean?)

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/enderdragon.png
  • Potential House: Manners of Death
  • Greater Goddess
  • Symbol: A Dragon Egg.
  • Alignment: Chaotic Evil
  • Portfolio: Big Bad, Damage-Sponge Boss, Draconic Abomination, Final Boss who is fought in The End, Glowing Eyes of Doom, Revealed to be female
  • Domains: Dimension, Bosses, Death, Terror
  • Allies: Deathwing, Grima, Onyxia, The Nihilanth
  • Enemies: Steve and Alex, The Endermen, Good-aligned dragons, Galeem and Dharkon, Finn the Human, Ornstein and Smough, The Monster Hunters, The Dovahkiin, Miraak
  • The Ender Dragon, the creature terrorizing the End is widely considered to be one of the strongest creatures in the Minecraft universe. Reaching her realm is a hard task in and of itself and defeating the Ender Dragon tends to be the end goal of every adventurer. She arrived to the Pantheon after someone accidentally opened a portal to the End big enough for her to fit through and started breaking havoc in the Pantheon, up until Steve and Alex managed to defeat her once again and the Pantheon authorities to recover and contain her. Once it was noted her particular manner of death, she was chosen to represent that title in order to avoid future conflicts with the Ender Dragon.
  • Her temple is a recreation of her realm in the End, which naturally is bound to have many adventurers try and challenge her to a fight but she isn't restricted to her temple and can get out whenever she wants, she feels more confortable in her own temple. And yes, it's filled with Endermen, who happen to be not too happy about the return of the Ender Dragon and would rather destroy her for good for enslaving the End but at the least she is not terrorizing their home anymore.
  • As a dragon, she always causing trouble whenever she decides to exit her temple. Given how dangerous she can be, Adventurers often are tasked with slaying her, an activity already popular among the adventurers from the Ender Dragon's universe but to properly take her down the pillars on her temple have to be disabled. It's a common occurance that people tend to invade her temple just to take her down, most commonly the Monster Hunters who can consider her similar to an Elder Dragon.

@Mattman - For Cassopeia, perhaps something with Morathi, a Dark-Elven Vain Sorceress who relishes in hedonism and seeing others as tools for her to manipulate. That, and she was responsible for turning her son Malekith into an Evil Overlord who obsesses of wanting to take back Ulthuan and become the Phoenix King. Malekith is also evil, though there is some degree of tragedy in him, plus he himself has a very difficult relationship with his mother. Also, Malekith counts as a Darth Vader Clone.

@Faso - Now that the Monster Hunters are mentioned, wouldn't hurt to also include Fatalis in a possible paragraph.


Yep, this is going to be my next big Pantheon profile. So here it is...

The Green Lanterns of Sector 2814, aka, Planet Earth. They're a collection intergalactic Space Police who go around overseeing planets and the cosmos and protecting them from all sorts of threats. And given that I'm doing six characters, all of whom had their own comic issues and series', it's going to be a chunky one. I would like to see for specifics for each member regarding potential interactions and paragraphs...

  • Hal: Any pilots or hotshots, members of the airforce, those who lost their fathers in accidents or someone who loves adventure?
  • Guy: Anyone who is the Jerk with a Heart of Gold member of their team + has a surrogate sibling-esque relationship with someone? For a bonus, he was also a social worker, special education teacher and a bar owner at some point.
  • John: Any Marine Soldiers and/or architects that John could find common ground with?
  • Kyle: Any artists and Adventurers who have any similarities to him + any sort of Pop-Culture nerds and fans?
  • Simon: Any Muslims in the Pantheon or, at least, someone who's faced persecution for their beliefs + mechanics and justified criminals?
  • Jessica: Any adventurers, those with social anxiety, those who are shut-ins and those who lost friends and/or allies in a tragic event?

And as usual, other sorts of ideas and suggestions are more than welcome.

[up] For Evil Aliens they would be enemies with, there are The Daleks for their desire to wipe out all life that isn't them...and sometimes Davros too. They wouldn't like The Shroobs for being Always Chaotic Evil aliens that are all Omnicidal Maniacs, their ascension having been arranged by Nekron himself. The Death Busters are aliens from the Tau Nebula that want to bring their Dimension Lord leader Pharaoh 90 to Earth so he can merge with Earth and make it a second mother planet for them, killing off all life and replacing them with Daimons. I'd imagine they'd take precautions just in case they decide to target them and Mogo and would be rather unhappy that they sometimes take advantage of the students that go to their School for Scheming by trying to take their souls and lives for their leader.

Also, definite enemies with The Lich.

@Crimson: John Stewart and Huckleberry Hound met each other before. During that time, Huck was a stand-up comic that was against the Vietnam War and John was taking a test as a Green Lantern on Earth. Racism and corrupt cops were the main enemy that time.

@M1gami: To be clear, when I said "I'm sure someone else could rework a couple profiles", it's because I have a lot on my hands and don't have the time to look further into things. I don't know if anyone is familiar with Edge of Tomorrow to rework William Cage, though I think someone is familiar with Resident Evil to rework Ada Wong.

As for Jago, I know Killer Instinct is the Trope Namer for Combo Breaker, but considering the cast of that fighting game is capable of it and he's the only one representing that trope, I get the feeling that there's a problem at hand. It depends on what others think though.

Decided to focus on Balloon Boy for now. Any other creepy laughers/ Robots?

Balloon Boy, God of Dissonant Laughter (BB, Fuckboy, Enragement Child, Balloon Bitch/Bastard)

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/bb_hw_vr.png
  • Demigod
  • Symbol: A balloon
  • Alignment: True Neutral during the day, Neutral Evil at night.
  • Portfolio: Dissonant Laughter, Creepy Cheerful Child, Token Human Animatronic, Pragmatic Villainy, Kids Are Cruel, Evil Gloating, Robot Kid, Uncanny Valley, Utter Enragement
  • Domains: Balloons, Robots, Laugh
  • Allies: The Fazbear Gang (Especially Foxy), The Puppet, Mangle
  • Enemies: Mike Schmidt, Springtrap, Circus Baby
  • Believe it or not, not all of Fazbear's animatronics are just recolors of the main 4. The 1987 incarnation in particular contained a good few unique animatronics, such as Mangle or The Puppet. This one, simply named "Ballon Boy", is one such character, who at day gives out free balloons to children. At night, however, it operates under the same programing as the other robots, helping them out in killing the night guard. Instead of actually killing them, however, he actually just steals the batteries to their flashlight, leaving them venerable to animatronics that are stopped by the light (AKA Foxy), and starts continuously laughing, causing the robots to come at you faster. And no, he'll never stop laughing when he gets in. He would later reappear as a phantom and a nightmare creature, both times retaining his signature laugh.
  • Balloon Boy was actually in the Pantheon for quite some time, almost as long as The Puppet has been there. However, his description was quite lacking, not really interacting with anyone or doing much else. It was Fazbear enterprises itself who requested that his profile would be extended, stating that "All of our characters deserve as much recognition as each other." It should be noted that the post card the note came on had Balloon Boy all the way in the back, being overshadowed by the other Animatronics. Nonetheless, they did have a point, and so his profile was reworked to the current one.
  • As soon as he was reintroduced, he was already causing trouble for night guard Mike Schmidt during one of his shifts. During this, he was checking his cameras for any animatronics or intruders when he suddenly heard a laugh. Checking around and seeing nothing, he brushed it off and continued monitoring, when he heard it again, only much louder. Again, he saw nothing. A few minutes later, he finally found the cause when the source of the noises snuck into his office and started laughing even louder, potentially attracting the robots to his location. Whats more, the figure, Ballon Boy, had somehow managed to switch off the hallway lights, rendering Mike unable to see them outside his door. Seeing how the thing wasn't attacking him physically, Mike then did the one thing BB wasn't expecting him to do: Kick the bugger over, thus turning back on the lights and shutting him up. Fabear wasn't thrilled with what Schmidt did, but hey, survivor's instinct, right?
  • Alongside his other fellow animatronics, he opposes the robotic Serial Killer Springtrap, being the undead version of William Afton and all, though here it's more due to the criminal database he has installed, which naturally includes him, than anything personal (Though obviously, murdering children isn't really helping). Afton, on the other hand, hates the little guy, and for good reason: BB's laughter was used as an audio cue to lure away Springtrap back at Fazbear's Fright, something that worked every single time. Understandably, Afton doesn't like to be reminded of that. He also opposes Circus Baby as well, though he does find it confusing wether he's talking to Baby or Elizabeth at the moment.

[up] Many of the Terminator deities are pretty creepy robotic endoskeletons. There's also The Racing Drones, who are sinister alien robots that are pretty creepy.

First draft for the rework of the Nazi Storm Elites. Given the newer definition of the Heavily Armored Mook trope, I've decided to include the Waffen Storm Leaders in this profile rework, given that they're the unarmored counterparts encountered before the Storm Elites appear.

  • Eventually, one of the American paratroopers managed to get a Thompson burst into the German, only for the gasmask-wearing soldier to promptly shrug off the damage and gun the paratrooper down, leaving only Travers and his squad leader Sgt. Setzer alive. Recovering from their initial surprise, the surviving US paratroopers took down the new threats, and destroyed the Panzerzug that the Germans had arrived in, ultimately securing the railyard despite the heavy casualties taken.
  • This would not be the last appearance of these SS soldiers, however...While Operation: Varsity had been an astounding success, with the destruction of months worth of German ammo and weapons storages, the remaining defenders of the Essen railyard had holed themselves up in a Flak Tower in the center of the city. And so, Travers and the rest of the 17th Airborne dropped over, onto, and near Der Flakturm, the final German stronghold on the Rhine River. Facing them were several hundred or so elite German troops, including a large number of Waffen Storm Leaders and about 20 Nazi Storm Elites. Despite the tenacious German defense and the Americans losing several planes and suffering heavy casualties, the Flak Tower was ultimately destroyed by Cpl. Travers, who had killed several of their numbers both during the assault itself and his subsequent escape. With the tower's defenders all dead, and the Flak Tower itself in ruins, the Rhine River was now secured, and Airborne reinforcements soon arrived to relive Travers' position.

@Green Lanterns: Daffy Duck once became a Green Lantern himself in Duck Dodgers. Also the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles encountered a Green Lantern-like hero called Green Mantle/Al Gordon. And Mikey/Raph both ended up inheriting said mantle and taking on the moniker temporarily

Got some proposals:

Shadowtrap for Unfinished, Untested, Used Anyway:

Character: The sentient coding behind Vault Hunter.EXE, a program used by Claptrap as to become a Vault Hunter, who ends up causing a lot of problems when the VH group goes into his mind to fetch the H-Source.

Reason: Vault Hunter.EXE was explicitly a Rush job by Jack just to get a loyal and helpful Claptrap unit for his planned vault raid, and as a result, it's installment came with a lot of problems: 1. Claptrap's intended adaptions skills were turned into basically a Random Effect Spell, 2. Clappy was still the same cheerful idiot from before, and third, the reason for both those things was because the coding that would've made it work, Shadowtrap himself, was too malevolent and was locked up by Claptrap's own security systems. Shadowtrap himself is hell-bent on killing anyone who mistreated Claptrap, and is willing to trick and kill people into doing so. Basically, he ends up causing a lot of unforeseen problems.

Theodore Peterson/The Neighbor for Living with the Villain:

Character: Your shifty neighbor from across the street, who the player character suspects is doing some suspicious activities and decide to break into his heavily guarded house to investigate.

Reason: Again, the whole premise is a take on the classic "Suspicious Neighbor" cliche, only here the Neighbor in question actually is hiding something. Since there doesn't seem to be a trope about that, than this trope would have to do, especially considering the fear of a possible child kidnapper as your neighbor.

[down][down][down] Well, The Pre-Sequel predated FNAF by a whole year, to be fair. Though, yes, that is the first thought that came to mind when I first saw him.

I could also fix Ada Wong. Somehow missed that she was in gaming.

Shadowtrap sounds like a Fnaf OC

In case anyone wants to talk to me I warn you; I'm in the process of moving so it's going to be some time before I can be that active here again
