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.

Daisuke Kambe, God of Crimefighting with Cash (Daisuke Kanbe)

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/daisuke_kambe.png
  • Potential New House: Heroic Actions and Commercial Attitude
  • [tup]: 4 (Excessive-Menace, CrimsonShark, VengefulBale, Bazzardreturns)
  • Demigod
  • Symbol: His striped tie
  • Theme Song: NAVIGATOR
  • Alignment: Chaotic Neutral with Chaotic Good tendencies
  • Portfolio: Arbitrarily Large Bank Account, Bishōnen, Cowboy Cop, Crimefighting with Cash, Fiction 500, Nerves of Steel, Non-Idle Rich, Rich in Dollars, Poor in Sense, Sharp-Dressed Man, Smoking Is Cool, Teeth-Clenched Teamwork with Haru Kato, HEUSC
  • Domains: Crime, Detectives, Money
  • Herald: Suzue Kambe
  • High Priest: Fred
  • Allies: Conan Edogawa, Bruce Wayne/Batman, Shinya Kogami, Seto Kaiba, Shinnosuke Tomari, Ryotaro Dojima, Tony Stark/Iron Man, Nami
  • Enemies: Manfred von Karma, Shogo Makishima, Mr. Burns, Frank Tenpenny and Eddie Pulasky, Brian Irons, Manny Pardo, Bluebeard
  • The son of the very wealthy Kambe family, Daisuke uses his money and cutting-edge technology to solve criminal cases. He joins the Metropolitan Police Department's Modern Crime Prevention Task Force where he is partnered with Haru Kato, who disapproves of his way of solving things with money.
  • Daisuke has taken a liking to the young detective Conan Edogawa and is impressed by his intuition and intelligence. Conan likewise respects how Daisuke can keep mostly keep his composure no matter how stressful the situation. He has lent Conan his money and technological sources to help him solve the various criminal cases within the Pantheon, with Conan very grateful to Daisuke for his help. It helps that an earlier version of Daisuke from the novel series is regarded as a famous detective in Conan's world.
  • He has a great dislike for Mr. Burns, one of the Three Managers of Commerce. While Daisuke uses his wealth as a means to solve crime and circumvent obstacles in his investigations, he would never stoop to the level of greed that Mr. Burns has. He finds it pitiful that Mr. Burns uses his money to stage rescues to fulfill his superhero dreams as Fruit Bat Man, believing him to be far inferior to the original Batman, the "World's Greatest Detective". Using his money as heir to the Kambe Family, Daisuke is trying his best to prevent Burns from taking complete control over the House of Commerce.
  • Daisuke has struck something of a Friendly Rivalry with Shinya Kogami thanks to their similarities, both being black-haired, pale-skinned detectives regarded by many as handsome who have a disregard for the rules. However, Kogami, the Tall, Dark, and Handsome God, the stands well above the shorter, 5'6" Daisuke. This mildly annoys Daisuke, who wears shoes that elevate himself by five centimeters to compensate for his height.
  • To solve crimes, Daisuke has been buying the top technology out there to help in his goals. Daisuke has been learning from Tony Stark to improve his A.I. butler HEUSC to be just as good, if not better than, Stark's famous A.I. J.A.R.V.I.S. He has also been trying to purchase some of Tony Stark's technology like his Powered Armors to fight criminals whenever needed. However, Tony refused to Daisuke's disappointment.
  • Daisuke's motivation for being a detective stems from his mother's tragic death when he was only a child. Given his mother's murder at the hands of his father Shigemaru Kambe, Daisuke has harbored an intense hatred for men who brutally kill their wives in cold blood. Since joining the Pantheon, he has aimed to take down infamous Bluebeard, the Unholy Wife Killer.
  • Scrooge McDuck has expressed surprise at Daisuke's willingness to spend millions of dollars to solve cases. The cheap old duck cannot understand why he would do so when he gets nothing out of it. He was even more surprised to find out Daisuke's unwillingness to become heir of the Kambe Family and fully inherit his family's abundant wealth.
  • He has an intense hatred for Manny Pardo, who, on the surface is an incompetent officer with Cowboy Cop tendencies, is actually the identity behind the Miami Mutilator who grew increasingly disgruntled with the media not paying attention to his killings compared to stories such as the resurgence of the Russian Mafia and its battles with the Cartel from the Son and apparent existence of other masked killers from the Fans. Given the corruption involved in the investigation of his mother's murder case, Daisuke has little tolerance for Dirty Cops.
  • Thanks to his loose cannon tendencies and penchant for solving obstacles with money, he's come under fire by the House of Justice for his use of bribery and over-the-top schemes by way of his very fancy technology and social connections. However, even the House has to admit that Daisuke is very effective at solving cases and catching criminals with his methods, and at the moment he's only under surveillance and won't be disciplined unless anything drastic happens. Daisuke, on the other hand, is very confident that nothing will happen to him and continues to use his financial methods as a detective of the Pantheon.
  • Daisuke has formed something of an Odd Friendship with Nami due to their shared belief in the value of money. Nani, however, has showed mild annoyance at Daisuke's privilege and arrogance from being born into the wealthy Kambe family, while she grew up poor in Orange Town and had to gather the money to save her hometown from Arlong. She's been trying to swindle Daisuke of his money, but he's been clever enough to avoid it so far to Nami's dismay.
  • Although confident in his intelligent and financial resources, even Daisuke admits that L Lawliet is by-far the best detective in the Pantheon even in spite of his eccentrics and far superior than himself. However, the secretive L has not been willing to communicate with his fellow detective Daisuke unless it's through his butler Watari. Daisuke has been trying to bribe L to teach him his skills by getting him the most delicious sweets possible, fully aware of the detective's notorious Sweet Tooth.

I think i remember The actual Lenore being suggested but was shot down because there were no actual characterization in her character to make suitable profile.

If that were the case, then why the common enemies even having profiles despite having very few characterizations of their own? Also, I did Angel's Egg so that is no excuse.

I would like to nominate Kisara for Occult Blue Eyes. I've done a fairly thorough search, and I don't believe it's taken. Her blue eyes are a defining feature of her appearance, and it's a plot point that her white hair and blue eyes denote her as being a host for the spirit of the Blue-Eyes White Dragon, an awesome creature of incredible power.

  • Sparring Partner: Yellow Heart (Flandre)
  • Remilia Scarlet is the owner of the Scarlet Devil Mansion and is immortal due to her immaturity, having thrown away the ability to grow mentally and physically. She is unable to mature. Flandre Scarlet is the younger sister of Remilia Scarlet. Like her sister, she has thrown away her ability to grow mentally and physically to gain eternal life. Unlike her sister, though, she has a hard time acting like anything else than a child. And combined with her inherent powers, she is really dangerous when unchecked. As such, she has spent most of her life stored away in the basement of Scarlet Devil Mansion, though she herself is fine with the arrangements.
  • Remilia used to hold Immortal Immaturity while Flandre held Madwoman in the Attic. However, things have been revealed about the latter that caused Madwoman in the Attic to no longer fit her. She was very nearly taken out of the Pantheon but Remilia revealed that Sliding Scale of Vampire Friendliness was free and fit her. However, it was found that this applied to both of them more than it did to Flandre alone. Remilia sacrificed her previous trope, Immortal Immaturity, to ensure that both of them would stay in the Pantheon and now the two sisters share Sliding Scale of Vampire Friendliness. However, she was unable to prevent Hong Meiling from having her trope removed, so the two sisters brought her in as their herald.
  • Applies to both:
    • Marx, who was present for the events above, laughed and congratulated the two. While Flandre had no idea who he was, Remilia had learned some time ago of Marx and his true colors. Remilia, who wasn't having any of it, told the manipulative jester to stay away from them, much to Flandre's confusion. She was no longer confused by Remilia's actions when Marx went One-Winged Angel and attacked them, though the mad jester was dealt with easily. These events caught the attention of Kirby, who, while uncomfortable around Flandre at first due to her wings, eventually warmed up to her.
    • Dio Brando and Dracula are major enemies of theirs due to what the two did to the residents of the Scarlet Devil Mansion during the early days of the Pantheon. Dio remains quite angered that his plan failed and much to his dismay, the Joestar Bloodline is willing to help out against him should he try anything regarding them.
    • Enemies with Rassilon for obvious reasons. That he desires to exterminate all vampires in the Pantheon. This didn’t sit well with any of the Scarlet Devil Mansion residents, though it’s more personal with the sisters as they are vampires. Given who Rassilon is, some of their enemies even agree with them that he needs to be stopped.
    • Have become fierce enemies with Bill Cipher after he attempted to trick Flandre into making a deal with him so he could use her body to destroy his foes. He failed, much to his frustration. When she mentioned the details of her dream, Remilia, having heard of Bill Cipher before, contacted the Pines Twins for advice on how to deal with him and to possibly help prevent Weirdmageddon.
    • Met Finn, Jake and Princess Bubblegum when The Moon attacked the three and chased them to the Mansion, where with the aid of them as well as Marceline, defeated her, though even then it was difficult given how powerful she is.
    • The universally hated Mad God Zamasu was quick to express his hatred of them, confused how they could be so immature when they are immortal, quickly saying that the reason for this is because they aren't Gods. You know, despite the fact that he is much worse.
    • Detests Nagash for his cruelty as well as him being the very reason vampires have so many weaknesses in his home universe. It really doesn’t help that he’s an Omnicidal Maniac. Remilia and Vlad have been working together in order to help ensure that Nagash’s reign of terror will eventually come to an end.
    • Despite what many think, Remilia has made it clear that Flandre is not an Ax-Crazy, insane monster. This didn’t stop Yuuki Terumi from trying to troll them with this, but Rachel Alucard quickly told him to shut up and the three sent him packing. Terumi has remained frustrated by this defeat.
    • Have an odd relationship with Wario. While he is practically a walking weakness for Vampires, he also can become one under certain conditions, though he will return to normal if exposed to some of these weaknesses. Wario doesn’t particularly care.
    • Good friends with the Vampire King due to the fact that the man is quite kind. Flandre in particular likes him a lot more than Remilia due to his ability to create invisible pockets that filter out sunlight. Remilia was worried about him at first due to bad experiences with Dracula, but eventually learned that not only is he enemies with him, but the Vampire King had a major fight with Dio Brando after his ascension.
  • Applies to Remilia:
  • Applies to Flandre:
    • Flandre has the power to destroy anything and everything. Or to be more specific, she has the ability to remove an object's tension point AKA it's “eye", pour her energy into it and then crush it in her hands, destroying the target. All she needs to do is go "squeeze" and the objects go "kaboom". It can destroy entire meteors in one swoop and leave nothing behind from living creatures (including their blood, making it hard for her to hunt anything on her own terms).
    • Once had one hell of a battle with Galacta Knight which resulted in Earth Shattering Kabooms and Stuff Blowing Up. Ultimately, Flandre won out in the end and Galacta Knight has remained obsessed with training to become strong enough to defeat her.

  • Yousuke Otoha had quite a troubled life, being the product of incest between his mother and brother/father, with the latter being part of the yakuza and used Otoha as an enforcer for such. He also has congenital insensitivity to pain, which renders him being unable to feel extensive amounts of pain no matter how severe they may be and happens to be the Karas of Shinjuku, a guardian that can transform into a sword-wielding knight and certain vehicles, embodies the Will of the City and ensures stability between the worlds of humanity and yokai. When his predecessor Eko Hoshunin intends to remake the entire city to his image with the help of mikura (demons with mechanical attributes), it’s up to Otoha to stop him and prevent the city from falling into the wrong hands.
  • As Otoha continued his duties of protecting his version of Shinjuku, Tokyo from the supernatural threats that besiege it, he learned of rumors regarding portals that lead to other far away locations, especially after an incident where he fought a monster that was very different from what he was used to. When one such portal refused to disappear after a monster that came out of it was defeated, Karas went inside and discovered what appeared to be a city not that different from what he was used to. There wasn’t much time for Karas to be taking in the sights as another monster was not only approaching him, but to that portal intent on wreaking havoc, though Karas was able to stop it. As Otoha would later find out, these portals would lead to a place known as the Pantheon and while he would continue his duties to protect his own city, Otoha has taken the time to ensure the safety of the Pantheon as well given the kinds of dangers that befall the place, especially since his version of Shinjuku has become connected to this vast world he’s discovered.
  • He managed to find quite a bit in common with Batman, chiefly being that they are both heroes who work from the shadows, are known for intimidating their foes in addition to their combat prowess, and even having a dark animal motif to go with it (crows for Otoha and bats for Bruce Wayne). While the Caped Crusader is no stranger to dealing with supernatural threats from time to time, Otoha goes up against these kinds of enemies on a regular basis. Batman found quite a bit to like about Otoha as far as tactics are concerned, especially since Karas is more than capable of going up against certain supernatural threats (especially related to yokai) that prove to be more of a challenge for Batman than normal. The two have worked together on occasion in a number of dark urban areas within the Pantheon to protect them from anything that poses a significant danger to those areas.
  • To put it bluntly, Otoha’s primary profession is that of someone who fights against evil demons (much of them mechanized) and malevolent supernatural entities and the Pantheon had no shortage of individuals that specialize in that field. What Otoha found unusual is that a good number of these demon hunters sometimes had part of some sort of demonic power within them to help them fight against demons, though considering how the Pantheon featured a much larger variety of supernatural entities throughout the setting compared to what Otoha had gone up against, Otoha would be accustomed to deities who have fought against demons and the supernatural such as Ichigo Kurosaki and has worked with them a number of times to fight off those threats.
  • Crows are an animal widely associated with Otoha (with Karas being the Japanese word for such an animal) and it wasn’t long before he learned of those in the Pantheon who not only shared that animal motif with him, but also a few denizens in the Pantheon that are actually crows themselves. Eric Draven was someone very closely tied to crows and darkness, having one as his guide and was resurrected in order to act out revenge on those who wronged him. Beyond the motif similarities between Otoha and Draven, both cannot feel pain, though the circumstances that resulted in such are very different. While Otoha is a much more traditional hero in spite of his backstory and Eric has a more brutal approach when it comes to fighting his enemies, both maintain a friendly disposition with each other.
    • As Otoha would find out, there are plenty of others associated with crows that have malicious intent in mind. Jonathan Crane and Fiddlesticks would be those who have crow motifs that Karas would end up in conflict against and their desire to inflict fear onto innocents (when Karas would instill fear onto those that endanger innocents) gave Karas a fair amount of reason to go after them, especially if they endanger his city. Scarecrow found Karas to be a bit similar to Batman in a few ways (partially since Otoha does have a friendship with Batman) and has been looking for effective ways to counter Karas and his abilities. As far as actual crows are concerned, The Crow was something Otoha took great issue with given that it is a deceitful manipulator with omnicidal ambitions and though The Crow hardly cares about what Otoha thinks of it, it knows that Otoha won’t go down easily in a fight.
  • In essence, Otoha is someone who is known for working in the dark and harnessing darkness-related powers to fight against anything that threatens him and his city. There were plenty of individuals in the Pantheon who use the power of darkness for good that Otoha got along with. Jackie Estacado was someone who harnessed the power of a primordial god called The Darkness and while The Darkness itself is very dangerous, Estacado maintains a fair amount of moral standards and has taken some time to help out Otoha in his missions. Rachel Roth is a superhero who also harnesses the power of darkness and like Otoha, she’s had her share of family trouble, but to a far greater extent thanks to being the daughter of a powerful and ruthless demon known as Trigon. While Otoha is more than aware that things would be much harder for him as a Karas if his backstory was similar to that as Raven’s, he found the fact that Raven is willing to use her powers for good and is trying her best not to succumb to her evil heritage to be admirable.
  • Otoha’s main enemy was his predecessor Eko, who believed that Tokyo had lost its way and vowed to remake it in his own image. Having dealt with such a villainous predecessor to a job dedicated to heroism, Otoha had plenty of reasons to be apprehensive of Sinestro, who was a former Green Lantern before Hal Jordan took up the mantle and has formed his own corps who utilize the power of fear to try and instill order in the universe. While Sinestro’s motivations are comparatively well-intentioned and is willing to work with Hal when a more dangerous threat is on the horizon, it doesn’t change the fact that he is selfish and willing to perform a lot of dangerous actions to succeed and it made Otoha dislike Sinestro quite a bit.
  • The circumstances of how Otoha was born seemed to play a role in him having CIP and while Draven was someone who had a similar sense of being unable to feel pain, he wasn’t the only figure related to such that Otoha came across. Fujino Asagami was someone who had that trait, albeit because her father gave her drugs to seal her psychic powers and once she ended up feeling that kind of sensation again, things got a lot more dangerous for her and her enemies. While Fujino eventually got better after a while, it doesn’t change the fact that she is very dangerous if pushed too far. Fujino did learn of how Otoha went through past trauma to become not only a better individual, but a hero that protects the city he lives in from harm, something of an opposite in how Fujino made attempts to be nice, but her trauma and pain accumulated to the point of her becoming ruthless to her enemies.
  • Not only does Otoha fight against the supernatural as Karas, but he is also a doctor who helps injured innocents recover. This led to Otoha finding plenty of other doctors who are not only skilled in their field, but are willing to put up a good fight against any adversary that stands in their way. Dr. Black Jack was one of the number of doctors who Otoha befriended given how skilled and dedicated Black Jack is as a doctor (to the point of likely surpassing Otoha’s skills in such) and has had his share of getting caught up in danger outside the medical area (even if it’s not to the same extent as Otoha). Meeting Emu Hojo ended up being an experience for Otoha as not only was Hojo a doctor who shared a similar gimmick as Otoha in terms of alter egos (even with all the differences in power and ability between the two), but the major allies Hojo worked with all share a similar quirk in that regard. Otoha learned of the kinds of dangers Hojo and his friends went up against and it gave him more of a motivation to protect both his city and the Pantheon, something that Hojo and his allies are willing to help with in regards to the latter area.
  • His past in being involved as an enforcer for his brother/father in the yakuza is something that Otoha is not proud of to say the least. While he had his reasons to be wary of notable yakuza figures in the Pantheon, he learned that a number of them are actually amicable in spite of their (very likely former) involvement in such. Kazuma Kiryu was one such name within the yakuza who Otoha ended up encountering and it quickly became apparent that Kiryu maintained a strong moral standing especially when it came to people he cared about. While Kiryu’s close acquaintance Goro Majima does have a history of being ruthless, he still maintains a sense of what’s right. Although Otoha is still not one to get heavily involved with the yakuza, he considers both Kiryu and Majima to be individuals that he has no issue hanging out with whenever he isn’t fighting against the supernatural.
  • Otoha is among one of a handful of individuals chosen to participate in a fighting tournament a small number of Pantheon deities were also participants that time. Within the Pantheon, Otoha was able to get to know some of these fighters a bit better thanks to some of them (notably Ryu) engaging in a bit of friendly sparring practice to better their abilities, something that Otoha has taken to time to do as well whenever he isn’t busy. That specific tournament also brought Karas face-to-face with a monstrous entity of darkness known as Yami, which not only was responsible for bringing those particular deities together for that tournament, but is capable of spreading darkness and ruin to a great degree. Knowing that Yami can summon monsters not that different to what he’s fought against before and how much of a danger Yami poses overall, Otoha decided that Yami is a threat that couldn’t be ignored and has made it a point to fight back against it.

BTW, regarding the Lenore discussion, I would like to point out that you all seem to think Lenore is dead in the story, but it's the opposite; she is not only alive, but is also the protagonist and is the one doing the mourning for her lover Wilhelm, who died in a war. Wilhelm is the "lost Lenore" here, not Lenore herself.

[up] I think Lilligant's original trope was Flower In Her Hair, but it got split into Flowers of Nature and Flowers of Femininity which it both fits actually being a female-only Plant-type Pokemon. But its profile is short and it is a Pokemon one which already has enough representatives, so fine with cutting it unless anyone wants to rework it into either of those tropes.

Got a couple dominion ideas. What do you think?

  • Earth (200 myf), Divine Setting Of Once Humble Fauna Now Dominant: the Speculative Documentary deals with what new flora and fauna will evolve in the future. There are three time periods; 5 million years in the future, 100 million and then 200 million. The last period has the world dominated by mostly invertrabes, cephalopods and other beings, while almost all vertebrate life has long since been extinct
  • The Land Of Ooo, Divine Post-Apocalyptic Setting: the series of Adventure Time is eventually revealed to be set a millennium after World War III, which has distorted the planet's landmasses and the Land of Ooo is the main setting. We learn later there was an apocalypse before humanity in the dinos, and a not as bad one that will happen some time under a millennium in its future
