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.

@Hamama - For Phil, there was an episode in 12 Monkeys in which Cole and Cassandra decide to use the Splinter Machine to travel back in time after an allying scientist, David Eckland, dies in a previous episode. The main aim is to kill the machine's inventor, Dr. Jones, whom they had been working with for quite some time as they believe that by doing so would mean the Splinter Machine would cease to do so. That said, they are transported to a time when Jones is looking at her daughter, Hannah, in her last moments before death. Cassie kills Jones shortly after Hannah dies... before she's suddenly back to where she was splintered on the same date. Cole does the deed himself and the results are the same, which makes them realize they're stuck in a temporal loop. They eventually realize that Project Splinter, which coincides with Dr. Jones's efforts in creating a time machine to save humanity is fated to happen. Cole and Cassie enact a plan to save Hannah and give her to the Daughters to be raised whilst letting Dr. Jones believe that her daughter died, ensuring that she remained motivated into working on Project Splinter. This subsequently breaks the loop, and it results in Jones reuniting with her daughter, as well as Cole and Cassie winning back their former ally's trust in their aim to stop the 12 Monkeys.

I have a proposal, and I want to see if anyone agrees.

Characters: Galeem and Dharkon.

Trope Change: From Order Versus Chaos to Both Order and Chaos are Dangerous

Reason: The story mode for Super Smash Bros. Ultimate features two main antagonists - Galeem, who aims to remake the world In Their Own Image, and Dharkon, who aims to cause The End of the World as We Know It. The two are shown to be equally dangerous and evil to one another, and are exact opposites on the order/chaos scale, to the point of summoning Master Hand and Crazy Hand clones, respectively.

It is I, the narrator, categorising addict and writer of books you haven't read.

  • Alice Elliot was born in 1893 to Father Morris Elliot, an English Priest, and was raised in London, England. Hearing supernatural voices in her early childhood, Alice later became an exorcist and worked together with her father. After her father's untimely death by a warlock calling himself Roger Bacon (later revealed to actually be Albert Simon), she was found by the Japanese government and put aboard the Trans-Siberian Express under armed guard in order to escort her back to Japan. However, on the way to their destination, the warlock killed the soldiers protecting Alice, intent on kidnapping her. Fortunately, Alice was saved by Yuri Volte Hyuga, who had been led to the train by a mysterious voice. The two journeyed across main-land China and later Europe, acquiring several more traveling companions along the way and having many adventures dealing with ghosts, demons, warlocks, sages, mad-alchemists, corrupt military officers and their own personal demons. However, after Yuri was reduced to a crazed and feral state due to having tried and failed to fuse with the Seraphic Radiance, Alice and her friends faced him in battle, which resulted in Alice waking up in the Graveyard within Yuri's soul. Encountering malevolent spirits called the Four Masks, Alice made a deal with them to save Yuri by going further into his soul and saving him from his inner darkness at the cost of her being cursed to accumulate Malice in his stead and eventually lose her soul. Later on, before entering the Neameto Float, Alice was summoned to the Graveyard to fulfill her bargain with the Masks. They opened the door to darkness, where she confronted their master, Atman, who subsequently defeated her and completed the ritual of the "Curse of Death", and thus began devouring her soul. Despite being drastically weakened and only having hours to live, Alice managed to linger in the physical world long enough to help save the planet by defeating Albert Simon and the Meta-God, until she finally succumbed on a train to Zurich, dying in Yuri's arms, ridding him of his burden and the Four Masks.
    • Alice was buried in Yuri's overcoat in a grave that he had dug for her with his own hands. As a final gift, Yuri left Anne's Cross, a memento from his mother, on Alice's gravestone. After finding the Émigré Manuscript, Yuri and Roger Bacon tried to use it to raise Alice from the dead. Unfortunately, the Moon Crystal used was unable to withstand the magic and was destroyed, causing the vessel to begin to fall apart. Although Alice briefly managed to appear before Yuri to tell him that she loved him, her vessel quickly disintegrated, thus terminating the resurrection attempt. Later on, after defeating a sorrowful Masaji Kato and preventing him from altering the course of history, Yuri chose to beat the Mistletoe's curse by ending his life before the curse destroyed his soul, which unexpectedly also sent him back in time to the Manchurian railway in 1913, the fateful day before he met Alice. Having seemingly retained his memories of the previous timeline, Yuri managed to obtain the Oath Grail and subsequently defeated the Four Masks. As a result, Yuri forced himself past the masks and interrupted Atman's ritual. Together, they managed to defeat Atman and break the curse, thus successfully saving Alice's life.
  • Alice was brought to the Pantheon by Yuri shortly after the two had arrived in Zurich, with Alice still alive and ready to embark on her new life with Yuri by her side. Alice was quickly greeted by her other friends and traveling companions Koudelka Iasant and Margarete Zelle, who were both quite happy to see her again. Alice was also very delighted to finally meet Edward J. Plunkett and Father James O'Flaherty, who had been on an earlier adventure with Koudelka, as well as Princess Anastasia, who up till then had only known of Alice through what Yuri had told her.
  • Alice became fast friends with Alice Liddell/Kingsleigh, with the two noting how they had much in common. The two occasionally get together to hold tea parties.
  • Alice is on very good terms with the various other White Mages in the Pantheon, such as Refia, Rosa Farrell, Aerith Gainsborough, Ophilia Clement, Natalia Luzu Kimlasca-Lanvaldear, Estellise Sidos Heurassein, Beryl Benito, Cheria Barnes, Sakura Hoshidan, Elise Nohrian, and Celica A. Mercury, all of whom have expressed admiration for her kindheartedness and the immense power of her light class spells.
  • Being a kind hearted and strong willed wielder of light magic, Alice became fast friends with Sora, Riku, Kairi, Lea, Roxas, Xion, Ventus, Aqua, and Terra. They all quite enjoy hanging out together, and Alice regularly provides aid to them during their battles against the Heartless.
  • As a person of strong faith, Alice quickly managed to befriend other religious figures such as Rosette Christopher, Bro'dee Walker/Saint Walker, Erica Fontaine, Garterbelt, Father Karras, Father Merrin, Clarice di Lanza, and Elsa la Conti, with all of them being quite impressed by how her powerful light magic is fueled by her faith. She's also been known to help them with her skills as an exorcist if needed.
  • Due to her friendship with the friendly vampire Keith Valentine, Alice is on good terms with other good-aligned vampires like Arcueid Brunestud, Rachel Alucard, both versions of Castlevania's Alucard, Liam/Angel, Spike, Sorin Markov, and Karin Maaka.
  • Unsurprisingly, Alice quickly became allies with Cosmos and the GUAG as a whole, and regularly aids them in their battles against Melkor and the GUAE. Although she mainly serves as a healer, she's perfectly capable of engaging in combat, especially against enemies who are weak to light.
  • Being a devout christian, Alice was overjoyed to learn that several versions of God himself were in the Pantheon, and has been known to periodically pray to the Love that Moves the Stars, the Alpha and Omega, God who hangs out with Bob, the One Above All, and the Presence. She felt especially honored on the occasions that she actually got to personally meet and talk to the Alpha and Omega and the God who hangs out with Bob, both of whom very much approved of her friendliness and sympathized with her over her past hardships.
  • Her past experiences with the Four Masks resulted in Alice developing a strong dislike of evil masks such as Majora, Uka Uka, Jack of Blades, and SCP-035, and tends to keep an eye out for them in case they start causing trouble.
  • Having previously fought against eldritch beings, Alice's strong sanity allows her to routinely provide aid in battles against the likes of Cthulhu, The Eldrazi, Giygas, The Great Ones, The Old Gods, and Nyarlathotep. However, she's not much of a threat to any of them by herself, and usually tags along with Yuri and others to provide support instead.
  • Alice strongly opposes the various demon lords within the Pantheon, such as Dis, Mundus, Mephisto, Queen Sheba and the Demons of Inferno, the Beast, Sargeras, Fortinbras, Malebolgia, Satan the Divine Judge, Satan who lost Paradise, Demise, Ganondorf, and Ghirahim. They generally view her as a moderate threat, as her most powerful light spell is capable of inflicting a decent amount of damage on them. Out of all of them, Alice personally hates Mephisto the most due to what he did to Spider-Man and Mary Jane, and Mephisto himself is actually apprehensive about her, as her soul is so pure that it can hurt him even at a distance.
  • Alice also vehemently opposes evil gods and angels who desire to control humanity, such as YHVH and the GUAL, Yaldabaoth, Chuck Shurley, Jubileus and the Angels of Paradiso. She especially dislikes YHVH and Chuck, viewing them as twisted corruptions of the Christian God, with more similarities to the Meta-God that she had helped defeat.

@ Hamana: Of everyone in Lobotomy Corporation's main branch, Angela was among the few who were aware of the time loops that was happening inside. She endured millenniums of death and was forced to be cruel in accordance with a "script" lest she restart from the beginning. Angela started out genuinely kind, but the aforementioned experiences and overall lack of agency broke her into a cold and callous AI in the present, and it took a while to grow out of that and move past her trauma.

So, I have been considering a new Treasure: Kanoka Disks.

  • Description: Kanoka Disks are tools imbued with powers that are used for protection, technology, and combat by many inhabitants of the Matoran Universe. These disks have 3 digits "printed" on them that determine its properties while launched (the usual way of using these disks, though throwing them or whacking with them is also possible), its effect upon collision with its target (such as freezing, weakening, removing poison, teleportation, enlarge, shrink, regeneration (inorganic substances only), or "Reconstitute at Random"), and the potency of this power. These Disks can be fused to get other powers such as increase weight, levitation, speed, or flight. They can also be forged into Kanohi Masks, though only those made from Kanoka of Power Level 7 or 8 will have powers.
  • Planned Caveats: I intend to ascend the Disks as a "dispenser" of sorts that recreates them for use. One has to pay a fee to get one random Disk per day (but only up to Power Level 7, which can be forged into Noble Masks used by Turaga; Level 8 can be made into Great Masks as used by Toa, and there were only 6 Level 9 Disks, which have since been fused and forged into the Mask of Time), and will be closed off from use after a set number of customers. All Toa get a discount (but only one per like everyone else), and Vakama gets an additional one for free on top of his discount. As for Kanohi forging, Vakama is only to accept Level 7 disks, since those lower will be powerless (and there are easier ways to get masks like that without wasting Kanoka).

Been a while but getting back into making profiles. David Budd is an Afghanistan War veteran suffering from PTSD who joins the London police and becomes bodyguard of an ambitious, controversial politician whose policies he despises as the terrorism threat in London rises. Just a preliminary draft but looking for interactions.

  • David Budd is a Police Sergeant who served 2 tours with the Royal Albion Regiment in the Afghanistan War. Dealing with severe trauma and psychological issues after his traumatic experiences as a soldier, his worsening mental health led him to separate from his wife and left him with a deep mistrust of politicians, especially ones who voted in favor of the war. Hiding his psychological scars under a cool demeanor, Budd is prone to unpredictable behavior under stress. After returning from his service, he joins London's Metropolitan Police's Royal and Specialist Protection Command and is assigned as the Principal Protection Officer of Home Secretary Julia Montague, whose support of a controversial anti-terrorism bill leaves her with many enemies. As the terrorist threat in London increases and he forms a relationship with Montague, Budd has to choose between his job and ideals.

[up] For David Budd, Cole Phelps is a marine-turned-cop, albeit years ago in World War II and as an LAPD cop. He tends to be haunted by memories and flashbacks of his time fighting in Okinawa, Japan, and plays a major impetus in the events of his story.

James Gordon also served as an army veteran before returning to Gotham City to become an officer.

The Sherlock iteration of John Watson has trouble with adjusting to society due to his experience in serving the British Army during the War in Afghanistan.

Posting for feedback.

Yato, Loser of the Gods (Yatogami, Yaboku, Amagiri no Mikoto)

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/yato_anime.png
  • Intermediate God
  • Symbol: A five-yen coin topped with a golden crown, a black tracksuit and a ragged scarf
  • Alignment: Chaotic Good
  • Portfolio: Loser Deity, Shameless Self-Promoter, War God, Anti Anti Christ
  • Domains: Godhood, Poverty, Combat
  • Heralds: Yukine, Hiyori Iki
  • Allies: Yusuke Urameshi
  • Enemies:
  • Yato is an extremely minor deity lacking a shrine or followers. Originally, he was a God of Calamity who committed murders at the behest of his Father, the human who wished him into existence. However, Yato came to loathe the heinous things he did and renounced his role, becoming instead a delivery god who fulfills various requests for humans who call him. He charges 5 yen for every wish granted. Business is often slow for him and he has seen very little progress in hundreds of years, but still he keeps dreaming that one day he will become the most revered deity in Japan. Then, one day, an unusually perceptive human girl named Hiyori Iki found herself drawn into the hidden world of gods and spirits when she was hit by an incoming bus in an attempt to save Yato, a futile action given he's a god. Because of this, she became prone to falling asleep randomly, at which times her spirit leaves her body. Yato promised that someday he would find a way to restore her back to normal. In the meantime she bears witness to his adventures as he obtains a shinki in the rebellious yet loyal Yukine, enters into conflict with various gods, and tries to stop his Father from causing trouble.
  • When Yato received a missive proclaiming that he was invited to become a god in a so-called Trope Pantheon, he was completely beside himself with joy that he was finally getting the recognition he had craved all these years. Yukine and Hiyori were very reasonably suspicious of the whole thing, as they had never heard of a Trope Pantheon and pointed out that it sounded an awful lot like a weird cult, but they could not prevail on the foolish Yato to ignore the whole thing. So the gang went, whether they liked it or not, and discovered the Pantheon actually was the real deal. On the other hand, Yato discovered that accepting a position here actually in no way affected his standing among the gods of his world one way or the other and he would still have to work hard to be recognized there. Loser of the Gods is also not a terribly flattering title. Yukine and Hiyori thought this would make Yato forget the whole thing, only for Yato to disappoint them a little more by accepting the position, saying it was better than nothing.
  • Much like in his home world, Yato spends his time in the Pantheon attending to the wishes of those who summon him. To do this, one simply has to call his cellphone; Yato has the habit of leaving his number in all sorts of places, like the wall of a bathroom stall for instance (being hard up for followers leaves a god with not a lot of dignity). The tasks he takes on are usually minor things like fixing bad plumbing or finding lost pets. More importantly, in his missions he often has to grapple with creatures called Phantoms, or ayakashi, which influence human behavior in negative ways (they are often the cause of bullying and suicides). Since he was born a War God, he is skilled in battle and can defeat Phantoms more or less easily, depending on how powerful it is. Yukine, as his shinki, turns into his weapon, a mighty sword that can cut anything it needs to, while sparing that which doesn't.
  • Things being the way they are, it was only a matter of time until Yato ran into a certain human who happens to be very active in the problems of the spirit world. That human is Yusuke Urameshi, who was appointed Spirit Detective by the Celestial Bureaucracy in exchange for coming back to life after he sacrificed his life to save a kid from a speeding car. Much like with Hiyori, this sacrifice turned out to be in vain once it turned out the kid wouldn't have been hurt at all either way, something that Yato relentlessly poked fun at him for and for putting himself in debt to heaven. Yusuke's response to this is that he feels sorry for Hiyori for having to put up with an obnoxious guy who drags his feet in fixing her problem. Deep down though, the two respect each other's strength and willingness to fight for what's right. Yato and Yusuke's personalities are bound to grate on each other's nerves, but ultimately they are willing to fight alongside each other to set things straight in the human and spirit worlds.

[up] Aqua of Kazuma's Party is also a Loser Deity, though in her case she's very arrogant, selfish, and incompetent in many fields.

Reimu Hakurei is a shrine maiden who is also similarly destitute and struggles to gain donations from others.

The Soul Eater deities and Mamori Tokonome and Mirei Shikishima are also able to transform their allies/themselves into weapons.

Void Termina is also a god of destruction, although it acyually does follow its job title instead of rebelling against it.

  • Elizabeth Liones is the third princess of the Kingdom of Liones, adopted by King Baltra Liones. When the Holy Knights staged a coup against her father, Elizabeth set out to recruit the Seven Deadly Sins to help her put a stop to the Holy Knights. Finding Meliodas, she begins working as a waitress at the Boar Hat bar as the two journey to find the rest of the Sins and save Liones. During the fight against the Holy Knights and the Demon Clan, it's revealed that Elizabeth is the 107th reincarnation of the Goddess Elizabeth, daughter of the Supreme Goddess who fell in love with Meliodas. The Supreme Goddess and the Demon King cooperated to curse the two for falling in love and going against them, with Elizabeth cursed to reincarnate as human without her memories and powers, only to recover them once she falls in love with Meliodas again and then inevitably die within 3 days after awakening them and reincarnating to start the cycle over again. After helping the love of her life overcome the Demon King and save his brother Zeldris, Elizabeth is finally free of her curse, allowing her to marry Meliodas without any trouble getting in the way.
  • Elizabeth was ascended into the Pantheon after her husband and brother-in-law stopped the Supreme Goddess from destroying them and starting another Holy War. The Cour of the Gods saw Elizabeth's case and decided to offer her position within the Pantheon to represent Resurrection/Death Loop. Elizabeth accepted the proposal after hearing that her husband and the other Sins are there, including the deceased Escanor. A happy reunion ensued all around... though Meliodas still takes the time to grope her, which earned him mixed reception among the pantheon, people cringing at best and confrontational at worst.
  • Subaru, Tree, and William Cage are also stuck in a loop of dying over again, though in this case they simply just go back a few moments in time rather than being reincarnated. All the same however, they do understand Elizabeth's pain, and they're all happy that her curse is finally broken, and she can finally have a happy life without any more trouble. The former two understand how horrible it is die over and over again, Subaru more so as he had to struggle to save his loved ones as well. Elizabeth sympathizes with them over there struggles, and she hopes that Subaru can finally find his happy ending in the future.
  • Many have questioned Elizabeth's relationship with Meliodas due to all the times he acted perverted towards her, and why she (the most recent incarnation) doesn't really seem to hold this behavior against him. Elizabeth makes it a point to list all of his good traits, which doesn't exactly reassure many, but most tend to drop it for her sake. Of course, then again, some people believe it may be because of their respective curses that Meliodas acts this towards Elizabeth's incarnations, since he never acted like this with the Goddess Elizabeth and it's likely he has seen her die so many times that he either tries to make the most of their time together or is trying to avoid the hurt that will come from losing her again.
