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 means the profile will have a one week waiting period.
  - For new and reworked deities, 4 is a 3 day waiting period.
  - 5 is an automatic ascension for new and reworked deities.
  - Speaking of reworks, for anyone that wants to improve such profiles, they have to review the current trope the character(s) has and see if it still holds up or if there is a better rep for their trope.
- For adding new Treasures to The Great Treasury or new Dominions to the Dominions, the following rules apply:
  - For new Treasures or Dominions, 3 is a 3 day waiting period.
  - 4 is an automatic addition to the Great Treasury or Dominions.
- 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.

Pennywise the Dancing Clown is a monster from the Macroverse. Older than time, IT crashed into what would later be Derry, Maine and eventually woke up in the 18th century. Pennywise awakens every 27 years to feed on children; the entity considers fear "salting the meat" and children have easier, more vivid fears to transform into. While this is done to feast, IT also does this for the sheer pleasure of it. Ultimately Pennywise was defeated and eventually killed by the Losers Club. As horrifying as it is, IT is but a powerful and smug bully.
Many believe fear of clowns originated from this monstrosity. IT only decided to make a seat in the Pantheon, mainly for its preference of eating children. Children all over the Pantheon urged the Court of the Gods to ban him from the House of Family, which they did. Everywhere else is fair game. Nowadays, every child in the Pantheon have to keep one eye open at all times, lest they get eaten as well. Basco can at least be happy that he is no longer most hated by children. It's not by much though, as he directs Pennywise to those he backstabs... including children.
Various scholars in the House of Knowledge have tried to find out IT's origins to no avail. Pennywise has taken advantage of this, handing out false rumors of his existence. There was one breakthrough in the case. Pennywise once revealed the closest thing to Pennywise's final form: a female black spider pregnant with various eggs in her sac. It did not calm their nerves one bit. Rumor also has it that IT has been convinced of ascending Stephen King by Annie Wilkes, who would want nothing more than to kidnap her creator and force him to write Misery's Return.
IT dwells within the sewers of Derry, Maine, where it passively induces incompetence in adults so they don't pick up what the Monster Clown is doing. After ascending IT began touring other sewers to find children to eat. The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles soon found IT in their vicinity and Pennywise has sworn to turn them into turtle soup so they stop intervening in his predatory behavior. It's calling card is a red balloon, and if truly threatened will expose its true form; the Deadlights, which typically cause madness and/or death upon whoever witnesses it. Deeply confusing IT Fuminori Sakisaki considers it the most beautiful thing he's seen due to his Through the Eyes of Madness, so IT doesn't bother messing with him.
Billy's reaction of its ascension was to lock himself in his temple for 2 weeks, chanting "DESTROY US ALL!" the whole time. To him, Pennywise represents everything he fears about clowns. Many agree that he is the sole reason so many people fear clowns to this day. The Kids Next Door has promised to keep fellow kids safe from this new threat. Numbah 2 is already hard at work devising weaponry specifically designed to fight the clown. They plan to distribute it to every kid in the Pantheon to defend themselves. Nathan Drake has a well-known fear of clowns. He's already given them a 10 on the fear scale. Pennywise gets an eleven.
He was met shortly afterwards by the Joker. He couldn't care less about hurting children, though he does wish IT improves on the humor. Pennywise doesn't mind the company, as long as the Joker provides him with fresh food. Needles Kane was there to congratulate his fellow Monster Clown upon his ascension. While Pennywise had no interest in the frozen treats given to him as tribute, IT was more than happy to use its newfound powers to terrorize the Pantheon. Both the Winchesters and the Occult Club decided to band together to stop Pennywise come the alliance. IT represents an entity both groups are all too familiar with.
IT became fast friends with SCP-993, another eldritch clown. The SCP Foundation is doing what it takes to cut Pennywise from his food source, and more importantly to prevent him from meeting up with SCP-2006. Much to IT's frustration they don't fear it at all because they know at heart IT is nothing but a hollow bully, but they do fear IT revealing genuine fears to 2006. Unfortunately Pennywise's time being studied by the SCP Foundation had the horror gaining a new friend in the similarly sadistic "humanitarian" trickster SCP-953. She doesn't need to rely on fear so she can take down adults protective of their children, and if she ever tries to betray Pennywise it can just shapeshift into a dog to terrify her into submission.
- Pennywise has also had a lot of fun with Freddy Krueger as he's also a child killer who loves to take on terrifying forms. They're also pretty funny...though sometimes they break good taste in their jokes.
Rumors started propping up that IT was the offspring of Ungoliant. While they're predatory spiders at least in a comprehensible "true" form, IT believes itself to be the superior being and cannot fathom being created by anyone. IT still likes hanging out with her daughter Shelob though, mainly to cause trouble. Lolth considers Pennywise to be a kindred spirit in as much as that means anything to them, though IT considers the Other Mother as a full-fledged friend. As she's similar in being a spidery being who feeds on children, though with different feeding habits, this is probably IT's narcissism in effect. Coraline was chilled to the bone to learn about Pennywise and how similar IT is to the Beldam.
Though a literal monster who (presumably) lives to feed on people, IT is a Sadist who revels in its own cruelty and is more similar to a human Serial Killer than your standard Eldritch Abomination. One of his aliases, Bob/Robert Gray, was even the pseudonym of a horrifying child rapist and killer Albert Fish, which gives you a clue about how figuratively monstrous IT is. Few want to burn the soul of that monster more than Ghost Rider. He may also be one of the few who can permanently defeat it; Pennywise doesn't stay long in the presence of the Spirit of Vengeance. Though it's hinted Pennywise may have survived his defeat, the Penance Stare would ensure even the Deadlights are Deader than Dead.
The fact that this monster sounds like her father disturbs Eliza Thornberry to no end. IT even used this trick to almost lure her to her doom. Not even Dr. Frank-n-Furter is willing to give that clown a whirl. Being voiced by the same actor didn't make IT's case much better. Beetlejuice isn't impressed by this, and he sees him as a potential rival to his "bio-exorcism" profession. IT still boasts of being "the eater of worlds", though it's unknown if this is true. IT's fondness and association for Lavos due to how it parasitically feeds of life might be evidence for these boasts.
IT may appear to be unstoppable, but It does have one weakness. IT heavily depends on the fear of others to transform to such things. Those who have the courage and heart to stand up to the monstrosity can reduce its strength. That means people with massive willpower such as Hal Jordan or those powered by heart such as Captain Planet and Heart Aino are avoided as much as possible. IT is particularly vexed by the Digidestined as they are "food that fights back" (read: kids who overcome their fear) and they have dealt with monsters who prey on fear before. The 1999 Digidestined even went up against a clown. IT also finds those incapable of fear difficult to interact with, as seen with Patrick Hockstetter. IT has defaulted to leeches because it worked on Patrick, or just a Blob Monster.
- Another major weakness IT has is gaining the weaknesses of whatever it shapeshifts into, so long as people believe it to be a weakness. And collective consciousness can get it stuck in a form. Pennywise has been trying to overcome this weakness in the House of Shape.
IT is terrified of Gamera. The Kaiju has absolutely no fear, is connected to the Earth and is a defender of children. Pennywise was always a hollow bully that just happened to have a Lovecraftian body, but to Gamera IT is a gnat. Another great fear of the abomination is the half-ghost girl Erma. Do not mock him for it unless you want your face torn off. The Nostalgic Critic was not too impressed by this; after reviewing the movie, he claims that the clown is more funny than really scary and that Stephen King is not nearly as good of a writer as people think. Afterwards, the critic was found dead in his house, likely due to Pennywise in retaliation. He got better of course.. Despite being miffed IT would prefer not to talk about the form it used to feed off the Critic's fear; Teddy Ruxpin.
IT's contempt for the Nostalgia Critic has grown for mocking his dancing segment with "MEME ME!". Pennywise wanted to get back in a fitting way, and as such has been searching more evil clowns in order to show just how "funny" IT really is. Disgustingly this meant consorting with Champ, who plans to do terrible things to children if IT cannot frighten them. By comparison Pennywise's rapport with fellow alien clowns, the Klowns, was almost wholesome...sort of. Pennywise is of the belief they're a subspecies of whatever IT is. All the actually good clowns have sworn to team up against this sick alliance, with Ronald at the lead.
Has put a surprising amount of investment in getting rid of and traumatizing Courage and the students of Hogwarts. The former is because IT knows Courage is a Cowardly Lion and has faced off against many scary things, so he's a bit too experienced for the monster's likings. It considers crushing Hogwarts important because their Ridikulus spell is the perfect spell against Pennywise due to being a Paper Tiger similar, but a lot deadlier and evil than a boggart. Surprisingly IT hasn't consider a team-up with the Dementors, as Pennywise regards them as rival predators who go after a different emotion; despair for the Dementors, and fear for IT.
It's often speculated that IT is related to the Crimson King since he is a were-spider that can use the Deadlights, though not to the extent of being a core of his being. Someone theorized that Pennywise and the other deity known as IT were related as they embody evil, are otherworldly entities and antagonize children. Given the Brain Monster shows clear contempt towards Pennywise for being a chaotic insane clown, the theory seems far-fetched. Spawn thinks Pennywise is far closer to the Violator in nature, which isn't a compliment; he hates clowns and Pennywise just reinforces that. The Violator actually agrees with Simmons for once as he welcomes the comparison and likes the cut of IT's jib.
- More serious comparisons have been made between IT and the Shadow Monster, which both fully embrace, as do the Hawkins Party in horror of both. Lovecraftian monsters who are still purely malevolent by human standards, antagonize children and seriously underestimate humanity because of their apex predator status? Of course they get along. The only major differences besides power level is the Mind Flayer has much bigger ambitions and no sense of humor.
Currently staring greedily at the The Great Treasury to get an advantage in the Trope Pantheon. IT's eyes are glued to Horror's Hand, and Pennywise hopes to make its' victims' terrors reality. However even if IT were to seal the Hand, Pennywise would have to overcome their own greatest fear; their own demise.
"Excuse me sir, do you have Prince Albert in a can? You DO? Well then you better let the poor guy out! WA-HA! WA-HA! WA-HA!"

Herman Carter began as a brilliant person that found himself joining Yale's advanced neuroscience programme, which was really a front for the CIA. There, Carter was recruited for his research and inducted into Léry's Memorial Institute under the tutelage of Dr. Otto Stamper, who encouraged Carter to go beyond what's allowed in the experimentation in order to truly discover the secrets of the human mind, something that will spiral out of control as Carter began to become more and more ruthless in his experiments, with many people that entered his lab never ever coming out of it and all in the name of the so called Project Awakening, which employed the use of Electroconvulsive Therapy in order to "interrogate" prisoners. Carter grew more and more unhinged until Léry's went completely silent, with the Doctor nowhere to be found and many of the staff and other immates found dead in horrific conditions. In truth, the Doctor found a greater purpose under a great power and now would personally see to it with other "unconventional methods".
Ascended to the Pantheon on behalf of the Entity and immediately found the place delightful. He was resourceful enough to evade authorities for a while but once he got too overconfident after having tortured a poor deity for days given enough time for him to be detained. Containment procedures against the Doctor have been mostly innefficient, as he is smart enough to understand how to escape his temple and even can call the Entity to break him out. Even taking away his tools has done nothing but slow him down.
Carter has a tendency to prey on those with poor mental health as he believes breaking them further might further his "research" and also power the Entity as well. Although surprisingly, he is not one of the Entity's most favoured champions as he feels it limits his abilities to "explore" the survivors he comes accross and even had to be punished several times for going too far, explaining why his face is all kinds of messed up.
It seems the time in the Entity's realm allowed the Doctor to gain electric powers, somewhat related to his infamous electroshock therapy sessions and fully takes advantage of those powers to prevent survivors from trying to trick him into chasing them endlessly by cutting them off or driving them insane. Some wonder if he actually qualifies for the House of Electricity but most aren't eager to let him into the house and cause more trouble.
Not the only one known to use electric torture as Revolver Ocelot has knack for doing that as an interrogation tactic and it seems Ocelot might be very aware of Carter's actions given Ocelot's own history as a double agent for several different parties. Ocelot's former superior, Colonel Volgin, grew curious of the Doctor's own methods given that Volgin also has a tendency to torture people and even found Carter to be a potentially useful asset and even allied with the man with the hopes of using him for his own goals. Both Solid Snake and Big Boss also grew to dislike the Doctor given their own experience with being electrocuted (thanks to the aforementioned folks) and would rather put a stop to Carter for good, but the Entity has prevented them from doing anything meaningful against the Doctor.
Very chummy with Desaad and Richard Trager, since their sadism could potentially rival or triumph that of Carter's. As a "doctor" Trager has tried to suggest cutting fingers and other human body parts on the survivors he usually has to go against and the Doctor reassured him that those ideas he has already tried them in the past and got him not further into coming into a breakthrough, dissapointing Trager in the process.
In the field of science many find him completely deplorable and have criticized his actions. Others however, have praised Herman for being a visionary and an example that ethics in science only hampers its progress. Professor Hojo has some keen interest in providing him more test subjects to see how they "respond" to Carter's methods. The Scarecrow grew fascinated not only by Carter's own creepy appearance and infamous incidents, but also the realm of the entity and hearing that the latter could be of a potential natural abomination, it could allow Crane to perfect his fear toxin by letting it fester in the realm's Entity. Carter, in a rare display of concern for another individual, warned Crane about the potential dangers of using the entity for something like that, as he once met an individual like him, Talbot Grimes, who would eventually become yet another of the Entity's mindless killers. The reason Carter knows about Grimes, now known as The Blight, is that he was once experimented by that person and even injected with blight which enhanced the Doctor's powers (and that's saying something considering the Doctor was the one being experimented on in this case).
His involvement with the CIA and how they encouraged Carter to continue recklessly experimenting on people soured the opinion of the organization to many of the Pantheon's denizens. Among them was even a member of the CIA, Alex Mason. He himself has his own baggage considering he was experimented on and turned into a sleeper agent that may or may not have been involved in JFK's assassination. Given that the CIA even used electroshock to interrogate him, Mason has every right to despise Carter and the latter is only amused that the CIA never told him about Mason's condition before....well, before he massacred all the staff at Léry's.
Simon Henriksson despises the Doctor, being an even bigger evil than the Doctor he encountered in his adventure, and that's saying something considering Simon had already encountered many other horrors before. Even Dr. Purnell thinks Carter is a danger to everyone in the Pantheon and wouldn't hesitate putting him down if allowed. On his part, the Doctor took great interest in Simon as his experience genuinely intrigues Carter and has attempted to kidnap and experiment on Simon to see what other discoveries he can make, which obviously terrifies Simon.
The one time you might find him not trying to horribly murdering people is when he is playing chess, as it is one of his favourite hobbies and he is even quite good at it. Not many are willing to play with him unfortunately, save for a few choice allies who are as insane as he is. And even those who play with him and lose tend to get horribly tortured afterwards.

John Dee, God of Being Unable To Dream (Doctor Destiny)

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/1c3d0e6b_b281_4090_bea1_4360694165c5.jpeg

^{Doctor Destiny in The Sandman}

Intermediate God. His Mind Rape and Nightmare Weaver powers rival Overdeities.
Symbol: A skull shrouded in a blue cloak
Alignment: Chaotic Evil
Portfolio: Unable to Dream Even When His Ability To Sleep Was Returned To Him and Became Far More Insane And Monstrous Than Before As A Result, Nightmares, Destroying and Controlling Minds, Skull for a Head, “Because I Can”, Mad Scientist, Influencing People Through Their Dreams
Domains: Insanity, Dreams, Nightmares, Evil, Minds, Preparation, Power
Herald: His DCAU Counterpart
Allies: Freddy Krueger, Nightmare, Vaermina, Wizeman, Nightmare Moon, Dead Moon Circus, Johan Liebert, Molag Bal
Rivals: Zebediah Kilgrave, Skeletor
Enemies: The Justice League (Batman Especially), Dream of the Endless, Princess Luna, NiGHTS, Kirby, King Dedede, Madoka Kaname, The Sailor Guardians, Klonoa
Feared by: Destiny of the Endless, Ned Needlemeyer
Interested in: Reality Warpers
John Dee was once a Mad Scientist bent on a variety of different goals. The goals often ranged from gaining wealth to conquering the world. Eventually, he became so powerful that the Justice League had his ability to sleep and dream removed in order to stop him, driving him more insane and making him more powerful. Eventually, after a bloody night once he escaped Arkham Asylum, Dream of the Endless personally stepped in and stopped him, sending Dee back to Arkham after he broke his Ruby and restoring his ability to sleep, though he is still unable to dream. He would continue to come back to menace the Justice League and other Superheroes after these events. Also, while Dream’s Ruby was destroyed, Destiny managed to keep some residual power and kept making more. When one got broken, he ended up imprisoned in the ruby, and when it was repaired, he emerged from it with all of his power returned.
Was ascended into the Pantheon one night by Melkor while many deities were either preoccupied with the Forever War or sleeping. He proceeded to invade the dreams of some deities in order to torment them mentally. Once he did this, he was met with some very infuriated deities who proceeded to stop things from getting worse by taking him down, though Destiny managed to escape and retreated to his temple to scheme.
The ascended members of the Justice League weren’t happy to see John Dee enter the Pantheon, and have made it clear that they will work to the best of their ability in order to put a stop to any plans he creates. Also, Destiny of the Endless wasn’t happy about his ascension either, as he was afraid to turn the page in his book to find out the result of the battle between John Dee and Dream. Doctor Destiny, at the moment, is one of the only deities who has made him feel this way. Considering Destiny of the Endless’ immense power, that’s quite a feat.
A horrifying ability of his is that of controlling people through their dreams, though it isn’t really controlling as much as it is influencing them. This means that he can subconsciously manipulate anyone into committing horrific acts. Worse still, there’s a chance nobody could know who he’s influenced until it’s too late if he plays his cards right, something that he is more than capable of doing.
Trust us. Do not drive him into a Villainous Breakdown. The last time this happened, he attempted to tear apart the minds of everyone in the world via Mind Rape and damn near succeeded. (To be expanded upon)

I've got a few new ideas for gods. If you think their tropes should go to someone else, please tell instead of just dismissing them

Mola Ram, God of Holding Still-Beating Hearts (House of Blood and Gore, Chaotic Evil)-the Big Bad of the Darker and Edgier installment. Leader of the Thuggee cult and big believer of blood magic and human sacrifice. (In)famously, the ritual sees him tear out a poor dude's heart and he still lives until thrown into the lava pit. The heart still magically beats, and is set on fire when its host is
Machamp, God of Humanoid Mons (House of Humanoids, True Neutral)-Machamp's line is meant to be based on bodybuilders. While also a Lizard Folk with four arms, its line is clearly humanoid and it is part of the Humanshape egg group
Jynx, Goddess of Post-Kiss Catatonia: Jynx is capable of weaponizing this trope. A Hu Mons Brawn Hilda with Gag Lips, she has two kissing moves which inflicts status ailments. Her signature, Lovely Kiss, causes the target to fall asleep. She is known in-universe for using seduction and charm as a weapon

Alright, here’s an idea I adopted from Nightelf:

Ririka Moriya, Goddess of Pink Heroines

Reason: Of the many choices Nightelf proposed so long ago, Ririka was one of the only ones who is realizable. Her outfit when transformed is entirely pink, which fits the criteria of this trope quite well.

Thanks, Venus. Now, let’s see what you people got!

Ririka Moriya, Goddess of Pink Heroines (Nurse Angel)

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/image0_80.jpeg

Potential House: Colored Outfits
s:

Power Level/Level of Influence (in descending order: Overdeity, Greater God/Goddess, Intermediate God/Goddess, Lesser God/Goddess, Demigod/Demigoddess, Quasideity)
Symbol: Her Nurse Cap
Theme Song "When In Love, It's So Easy To Be Hurt"
Alignment: Lawful Good
Portfolio: All-Loving Hero, Action Girl, Beware the Nice Ones, Plucky Girl, Stock Shoujo Heroine, Messianic Archetype, uses holy magic, wears a Scarf of Asskicking, has Emotional Powers, comes from a Magical Girl Genre Deconstruction
Domains: Nurses, Magic, Vaccines, Struggles
Heralds: Seiya Uzaki, Kanon, Dewey
High Priest: Minky Momo
Followers: Atomic Betty
Allies: The Rest of the Magical Girl Sisterhood (but especially Madoka Kaname and the Hero Club), Chacha,
Enemies: Goyhan, Joker
On her tenth birthday, Ririka Moriya was given a magical nurse cap that allowed her to transform into the magical warrior known as Nurse Angel. The Earth was under siege by a race of evil aliens known as Dark Joker, so Ririka was tasked with combatting them. As her fight continued, however, her life and fighting became harder and harder, and her mentor Kanon was killed at one point, though he eventually came back to life. Even after defeating the leader of Dark Joker, Buros, her troubles grew worse and worse, and this culminated with a sacrifice on her eleventh birthday to purge the world of Dark Joker’s Black Vaccine. Ririka survived, amazingly enough, but was left abandoned with no indication anyone would remember her.
The Sisterhood was examining Uncontacted worlds one day when they saw Ririka lying, abandoned and alone, in a field of flowers. They sent Chacha and her friends to speak with Ririka, and she explained her plight before remembering that she had seen Chacha on her world once before. Chacha quickly informed Ririka that they would locate her closest friends and bring them to the Pantheon, and this was done, with her neighbor, Seiya, a reformed member of Dark Joker, Dewey, and the revived Kanon, being those who came with her.
- From there, Ririka was formally inducted into the Sisterhood, learning that though her tale was dark indeed, it was not as dark as the tales of the Puella Magi and the Hero Club, leading to a bond between these factions of the Sisterhood. The Sisterhood also granted her an endless supply of Green Vaccine, allowing her to never run out of magic at any time.
The cruelty of Dark Joker with it’s schemes caused Ririka to naturally despise the two ascended Pretty Cure villains, Gohyan and Joker, and thus she often helps fight off their Uzainas and Akanbes whenever they attack a part of the Pantheon. The two are none too pleased as well, as they both know that having another magical girl to fight makes their jobs even harder. Still, their subordinates don’t really care, and Kintolesky has personally admitted that he views Ririka as one of his favorite girls to fight.
