Trope Pantheons Discussion

Go To

Welcome to the Trope Pantheons thread! Please read the rules:

    Rules 
Rules. The following are not suggestions or tips, but things that have to be followed:
  • When writing a profile, take note of the following:
    • Gods cannot be followers or high priests for obvious reasons. The 'gods' have ascended meaning there is no need for said character to be a follower of another if they have ascended.
    • No hype profiles, please. 'Hype Profiles' are profiles that have been made out of ongoing events and have not been around for a long time. This creates 'hype' due to popularity and certain elements either through certain scenes, memes, dramatic acting or considered overly awesome. They are not bad tropes but building a portfolio solely for that is a bad idea, as they do not say a thing about representing the trope best (unless it's those trope concepts that they are trying to embody for a long time)
      • You can see one if the profile is only showing off how awesome they are or suddenly pushing how 'significant' they are thanks to the just very recent events rather than respecting the longstanding good representations of the trope. And usually having... minimum portfolio or flavor texts and being a bit too generalized or self-contained to events from within their home series instead of interacting with other Pantheon members.
  • When posting in the forum, take note of the following:
    • When you suggest a God, please explain why they fit the trope. Not everyone is going to understand just "X should be the God of Y because they exemplify the trope" off the bat, especially if they're unfamiliar with the work.
    • You must use the Trope Pantheons discussion thread in the forums if you wish to add a new deity, story, something else of importance to the Trope Pantheon canon, or reworking an existing deity (be it simply improving their existing profile or changing their title).
      • For new and reworked deities, 3 [tup] means the profile will have a one week waiting period.
      • For new and reworked deities, 4 [tup] is a 3 day waiting period.
      • 5 [tup] is an automatic ascension for new and reworked deities.
      • Speaking of reworks, for anyone that wants to improve such profiles, they have to review the current trope the character(s) has and see if it still holds up or if there is a better rep for their trope.
    • For adding new Treasures to The Great Treasury or new Dominions to the Dominions, the following rules apply:
      • For new Treasures or Dominions, 3 [tup] is a 3 day waiting period.
      • 4 [tup] is an automatic addition to the Great Treasury or Dominions.
    • Do not repost a profile in the forums more than twice in a day if noticeable changes have not been made in between. If a profile is posted a third time in a row without noticeable alterations, it will be downvoted. This is so spamming of no-effort profiles is less frequent and to prevent tropers from getting aggravated seeing the same profile over and over. The minimum acceptable change has to be a single flavour text.
    • The Pantheon is not a mouthpiece for you to voice your opinions on certain characters. You may like certain characters more than others, but do not make the mistake of making profiles for characters you like look like Character Shilling.
    • Tropers new to the Pantheon are barred from approving or downvoting profiles until they have ascended at least two profiles.
    • Do not include fan reception in any profiles. It has nothing to do with the character themselves and will create unnecessary conflict.
    • Write a detailed explanation on why the character is the best candidate for deity of that trope. If people disagree with you, do not force it on the people.
    • Keep in mind that if you still want to try to find a trope for a particular character, you are only given three chances to find a particular trope for them. If a suggestion goes past three possible tropes, then it will come off as shoehorning a character into the Pantheon just for the sake of that character to be there.
      • On a related note, even if a character does have a free trope being suggested, there is still a limit of three attempts for suggesting that character for that trope. If no one responds to that certain proposal after being posted three times, then it will get to the point where the idea will be seen as being shoehorned into the Pantheon. In addition, the idea needs to be considered acceptable and approved because they are good, not for the sake of pitying others because no one is responding to their idea.
  • When posting Pantheon related stuff to the wiki, take note of the following:
    • Do not put a link to these Pantheon pages into the main wiki page. The moment you want to add in a main Characters page that the character is a God of this trope, do not do it. If you see leftovers of this practice, inform the forum and use the cutlist. This also goes to the Trivia page. The only exception to this rule is if a page in the Pantheon could be confused for a page in Main, like Good Colors, Evil Colors and Good and Evil Colors.
    • Rule of Cautious Editing Judgment ALSO applies here. Do not bring things that would incite fights, even if it is what is currently the hot topic and might be 'urgent'. For example, the political scene and some really bad politicians. We are not here to fight at each other, so don't suggest things that go to that direction, this is a fictional Pantheon after all.
    • To add a Pantheon page for a certain work, 4 or more characters coming from the same series/franchise should be ascended before adding the page. For Creator specific pages, 4 deities coming from the same creator and 2 individual work pages coming from the same creator is the minimum to warrant a page.
    • Do not create a trope page for a story until the story is fully completed.

    Instructions and Tips 
Here are some tips one should keep in mind when editing:

  • Preparing to write:
    • First thing to do before present a profile is to go to the Trope Pantheons discussion thread. In the forums, you must discuss with other users on adding ideas and seek their approval with sound reasoning. You can also get some assistance in the forum thread by either asking for help and those interested asking if they can help. Submissions that are added without discussion are likely to be deleted and those who violate those rules by adding Pantheon content without discussion will get reported to the mods.
    • If you feel the need to remove a character for some reason (poor quality, outdated titles, etcetera) and replace him/her with another or outright rework, please see what the other tropers think about this in the discussion thread before doing anything hasty. Use good reasoning to see if your idea can easily replace the character present without drawing out your statement or giving too ambiguous claims most do not understand.
    • Please be sure to consult others in the discussion about what you want to work before making the profile. This is done to see if your proposal is the best representative and so, in case your profile is turned down, you do not waste time writing something that others might not find suitable.
      • In the same vein, if you adopt a profile from another troper, it is recommended that you make an announcement that you have done so on the discussion thread. More often than not, a trope that was reserved for something was given away to someone else. Check the Related tab on the top of a page to see if a trope or character has been reserved by a user.
    • If, for whatever reason, you are writing about a God who just happens to be a person in real life, just try to be very careful about what you decide to say. Do not try to make the editing seem too meta (self-referential) and use the aformentioned creativity to create hypothetical scenarios towards fictional characters.
  • When writing a profile for a character, here are a few things to note:
    • All deities should be sorted by their divine ranking. Put Overdeities on the top of the page and Quasideities on the bottom. Also be sure to add them in alphabetical order by their first/given name (can be reversed if it is Eastern ordered). For a group, if there is no official name for them all list down all their names by order of relevance or (if too long to list) title them as Insert Name Here Main Characters or some other identifiable title along the same lines.
    • The maximum number of tropes that a god can have is two, but do not try to abuse that fact. If you need to use a second trope to specify a certain thing about their position, that can be excused either because said character represents their trope choice very well alongside the first trope. It is still generally encouraged to only have one trope.
    • A trope can only belong to one profile at a time. The only time two profiles can share a trope is if there are explicit variations listed in the trope page proper (e.g. Muscle Angst is held by both Biscuit Krueger and Chihiro Fujisaki as the former represents "Too Much Muscle" and the latter represents "Not Enough Muscle")
    • If the character you are about to add to a House already exists in another, make sure to mention that this person has spots in other House as well. Up to 2 places can be made for a deity, with the sole exceptions being those at the Main House to highlight those characters’ importance to the Pantheon’s lore.
    • For a character's theme song, try to avoid calling it "Theme of God X" or "Theme of (Show where God X originates from)". If possible, try to find out if the song has an actual name through research. Most importantly, it has to be part their series’ official soundtracks from media. Do not list songs that are made by fans or outside sources. If they were not specifically used as music for that specific character, then they do not count. Furthermore, it has to be a general theme specifically made for that characters’ appearances, not some generic music that plays for many other instances not related to the character in question.
    • For images, when adding an image for your chosen character, it is highly recommended to use a stylized image that embodies the character or renders that also highlights a character’s behavior (such as cool poses). Most images should be from the main adaptations of the character, unless the images from the other media are of a higher quality than the adaptation. Unless it is needed, do not use fanart for images. If you are, please attribute to the original artist. Due to the website’s dark mode, removing white backgrounds from an image is paramount. This website is suggested to do the background removal. If an image you have takes up too much bytes, it is suggestible to use this site to reduce the byte size. If the byte is still too big, put the compressed image to other sites (or even the same one) to compress even further. Use wikias to look for better images, as even wikias for the series might not contain good official images.
    • Creativity is your friend. While it is not recommended to get too ditzy at your ideas, it is best that when writing a profile for a certain character, do you think of capable scenarios between X and Y. Tip: do not use shallow examples (X wields a sword and Y wields one too) and try to think of relationships that makes sense (i.e those characters that are shout-outs for another).
  • Pantheon Content:
    • Some series or genres will eventually have greater representation in the Pantheon than others. This is unavoidable, but a little diversity helps to make you not look like a shill per say. Try to ensure that if you add a deity from a popular series, make sure that it is because they are a good representative for the trope in question, and not just because they are connected to another deity in their respective canon.
      • As far as deities from actual mythologies, there is generally expectation to build the profiles off interactions from fictional portrays rather than basing it entire from the actual myth. Therefore, a mythological deity should be more of a Composite Character whose main identity is from the actual myth.
    • Occasionally there will be Gods that carry a title without a trope. This is not forbidden, but it is well advised not to abuse them. The only house that a tropeless profile are wholly allowed is the House of Food. Mainly due to most food items lacking tropes, and adding tropes about said foodstuffs is slightly unnecessary. However, the character being ascended for their choice of a food, or food-related thing must be a decently good representative of said item. (i.e their Trademark Favorite Food, or something that they are closely associated with In-Universe, or both).
    • For Dominions and Treasures profiles, always consider what made those places/objects popular in the first place. Were they plot-important, identifiable imagery or have a unique aspect of it? Do not just bring regular objects under the basis of following a certain canon.
  • For Profile Standards:
    • Flavor text is used to describe certain things about a character, place or object. To avoid short ones, it is recommended to write flavor text with 4-7 sentences that can fill around 2 lines each. Be warned that adding too many sentences does not equal good flavor text as it is not an essay of sorts (unless words are substantial and do add to the overall line).
    • Character Profiles of a certain person should have the following:
      • A portfolio that contains at least 7 (at the minimum) tropes describing their character.
      • Flavor text count for a deity profile should have by minimum, 10 (depending if the character in question has enough relationships/characterization) to 15 with a maximum of 20-25 for an individual profile.
      • On the other hand, group profiles (profiles of a group that has 4 or more members) have their maximum flavor text count to 15 minimum, giving individual lines for the other members of the group (unless the members are not as characterized) up to 30 at max.
    • Dominion profiles of a certain place should have the following:
      • A portfolio that contains at least 5 (at the minimum) tropes describing the context of the place.
      • Flavor text count should range at least 10 to 15.
    • Treasure profiles (inanimate objects without a trope) should have the following:
      • A portfolio that contains at least 6 (at the minimum) tropes that describes the object itself.
      • Flavor text count should be at least 7 flavor text up to 12 to constitute a treasure profile.

    Divine Ranking System 
  • Overdeity: Omnipotent-level Reality Warpers capable of manipulating the entire universe (or at least the world) at will. Within their own universe they are believed to be omnipotent, or at least impossible-to-completely-destroy embodiments or concepts.
  • Greater Gods: High-level Reality Warpers and that are extremely powerful (capable of destroying or changing anywhere from a large city to a planet at will) and very strong non-reality warpers capable of doing the same thing.
  • Intermediate Gods: Deities at this level are capable of strong but specialized powers such as hydrokinesis, pyrokinesis, etc. without major drawbacks and low level Reality Warpers capable of affecting their immediate area at will.
  • Lesser Gods: Capable of highly specific or little power on their own, or suffer from Power at a Price. However, they may be able to ruthlessly exploit their power or combine it with just being badass enough to make up for it.
  • Demigods: Basically the Badass Normals of the pantheon, making up for their lack of abilities with strength, strategy, and/or planning.
  • Quasideities: Any otherwise normal human, human equivalent, or below without any special powers or training will fall here.

    Templates 
Template for adding a new deity:

God X, God/dess of (Insert Trope Here) (Alternate names/Nicknames, Fan Nickname)

  • An image, if possible. Please use official art or a screenshot for a picture.
  • Rank: This can range from Quasideity, Demigod, Lesser God, Intermediate God, Greater God, to Overdeity, based on representation of power mentioned above.
  • Symbol: An image or icon used to represent the deity.
  • Theme Song: Official song (in other words, no fan music, regardless of quality) that usually is used in affiliation with the character. If the deity is a musician this will most likely be their Signature Song. If possible, give a link for reference, preferably on either a website like Soundcloud or YouTube.
  • Alignment: Good, evil, neutral etc. Forget about The Great Character Alignment Debate here, the Pantheon is one of the few places where you can assign Dungeons & Dragons alignment to characters that don't have alignment system. After all, the Pantheon is based on D&D and is made for fun.
  • For Pokémon deities only:
    • Gender: Defines the gender of the Pokémon; if genderless, it instead defines what gender they identify as.
    • Ability: Provides the Pokémon's ability. If they can Mega Evolve, the new ability is listed as well.
    • Moves: Defines the four moves used by a Pokémon. A Z-Move may also be listed.
  • Portfolio: Tropes associated with the character.
  • Domains: Things that the character has influence over.
  • Herald: Non-ascended loyal character that is from the same series as the ascended character.
  • High Priest: Non-ascended like heralds, but not from the same series, and can serve as a worthy replacement in case something would happen. They can be served as part-time workers in case the originals are busy with some jobs. Co-Godhood is accepted depending on the approval of the originals, usually if the co-deity is from the same series.
  • Followers: Non-ascended characters that are not part of the Pantheon, but would probably worship this character by the fact that they share the ascended character's trope.
  • Relationships between ascended characters go here with your chosen character, it goes something like this:
    • Allies: Members of the Pantheon that are allies, those that share the same values as them and would theoretically be friends with them.
    • Rivals: Members of the Pantheon that are rivals, people who may look at your character with suspicion or a challenge.
    • Enemies: Members of the Pantheon that are foes, those who would see your chosen character as a threat, either on their pespective or yours.
    • Additional Character Relationships: Members of the Pantheon that do not fit in various relationships (examples include Enemy Mine, Vitriolic Best Buds, Teeth-Clenched Teamwork, Headbutting Heroes, Friendly Enemy, Friendly Rival, Just Friends, etc.), allies, rivals, or enemies.
    • Partner: Defines a partnership with an ascended deity and Mon-type. (if any)
    • Feared by/Fears: A deity whom the members of the Pantheon notably fear or are feared by.
    • Respected by/Respects: A deity whom the members of the Pantheon respect or are respected by.
    • Opposed by/Opposes: Not necessarily the same as "Enemies", but this is used for any deity whom the members of the Pantheon directly opposes or is opposed by (basically the opposite of "Respects") terms of certain viewpoints, regardless of alignment.
    • Pitied by/Pities: A deity whom the members of the Pantheon feel pity for or are found pitiable by.
    • Conflicting Opinion: Sometimes, the Deities argue over specific themes and philosophies.
  • Add the Intro. The intro is made up of two trivia, the Ascension Text (or just the Ascension) and The Bio. Both are necessary, but which order you use for them may vary depending on the profile in question. It may be better for one profile to have The Bio first and the Ascension second or vice-versa, although for the most part the order is irrelevant:
    • The Ascension Text: This the story of how the character got into the Pantheon and/or was ascended. There are many ways for this to happen. They may be tricked into it or have simply wandered into the Pantheon, they may have had an already ascended character bring them in, they may already be in the Pantheon (via being another deity's Herald or sharing a trope) and got "promoted", or some combination of the above. Anything is possible in the Pantheon, so use your imagination, but try to incorporate their trope into the story, if possible.
    • The Bio: A brief synopsis on the character's backstory. No need for the character's entire life/production history, but just give enough that those who don't know the character can get an idea of how the character works.
  • Now add some random trivia/facts about events/alignments/moments/fights/friendships/relations etc.
  • And some more trivia/facts.
  • And a couple of more.
    • Note: Standard amount of flavor text for Deities/Characters is 10-15 (15-20 for group profiles) at minimum to 20-25 (30 for group profiles) at maximum.

Template for Dominions profiles:

Place X, Place of (Insert Trope Here) (Alternate names/Nicknames, Fan Nickname)

  • An image, if possible. Please use official art or a screenshot for a picture.
  • Theme Song (Optional): Not important as compared to Deity and Dominion profiles but a notable mention if there is an accompanying song in use with the object.
  • Alignment: Refers to the dominion's role in their story, be it those used by villains or used by the Player Character.
  • Portfolio: Tropes associated with the dominion.
  • Domains: Things that the place has links to.
  • Relationships (Optional): Unless the location has a connection with a specific deity, relationships are optional and may not be required. However, if there are deities linked to the same series as where the dominion is linked to, note them using the relationships, this includes deities that theoretically have interest with said dominion, good or evil otherwise.
  • Add the Intro. Here the introduction of the Dominion is added with some tidbits regarding the origins of its' creation and usage in the story. You can also add what made it popular/iconic/important here.
  • Now add some random trivia/facts about events/alignments/moments/fights/friendships/relations etc.
  • And some more trivia/facts.
  • And a couple of more.
    • Note: Standard amount of flavor text for Dominions is 10 at minimum to 15 at maximum.

Template for Treasure profiles:

The name of the item in here (Alternate names/Nicknames, Fan Nickname)

  • An image, if possible. Please use official art or a screenshot for a picture.
  • Appearance: A shortened description of the item's looks with some notable features also mentioned.
  • Class: Refer to the Treasure Classification System in the Great Treasury.
  • Alignment: Refers to the objects' role in their story, be it those used by villains or used by the Player Character.
  • Theme Song (Optional): Not important as compared to Deity and Dominion profiles but a notable mention if there is an accompanying song in use with the object.
  • Museum Check: A note that says whether the item is viewable by the public.
  • Portfolio: Tropes associated with the item.
  • Domains: Things that the item has links to.
  • Relationships (Optional): Unless the item has a connection with a specific deity, relationships are optional and may not be required. However, if there are deities linked to the same series as where the item is linked to (especially the original owner of the item), note them using the relationships, this includes deities that theoretically have interest with said object, good or evil otherwise.
  • Add the Intro. Here the introduction of the Treasure is added with some tidbits regarding the origins of its' creation and usage in the story. You can also add what made it popular/iconic/important here.
  • Now add some random trivia/facts about events/alignments/moments/fights/friendships/relations etc.
  • And some more trivia/facts.
  • And a couple of more.
    • Note: Standard amount of flavor text for Treasures is 7 at minimum to 12 at maximum.

I've been wondering something: if a villain ascends after getting a Death Equals Redemption moment, is that supposed to carry over to their profile, or is it up to the author? Whether it is or isn't could create inconsistencies regarding whether they just got an Ignored Epiphany.

Alrighty then, i just messaged Necromancer on several questions relating to the Pantheon restructure, here are the results.

    open/close all folders 

    My questions 

1. When are the Alliance reworks happening?

2. In what order will the Alliances be reworked? We’re pitching the most ideas and are most immediately concerned with the Order of Humanity, though certain people may suggest doing the GUAG first.

3. May I disclose the answers to the above two questions to the Pantheon Discord?

    His response 
1. I am dealing with college, other activities, and these reworks at the same time, but we aren't doing these until some months later, since we have to deal with stuff like reworking profiles that were purged as well, on top of real life stuff other members are dealing with.

2. They'll all be reworked at once, since I already have the general ideas for the replaced/renewed sub-divisions of each Alliance, all themed around jobs, aspects, and activities that represent their alignment in general. That said, there will no more war-related conflict in the Pantheon, excluding the occasions of dealing with the GUAD, who actually end up being the least changed, taking the role of the Pantheon's main but infrequent threat. Additionally, each Alliance will have at least 3 leaders (still deciding for the most part, but YHVH is no longer a leader, with at least Eiki Shiki and Eliphas being council leaders in his place, and at least one undecided candidate) with less active roles to prevent Alliances from being more of a "Leader faction" than an "Alignment faction", caring more for their dedication for their alignment.

Additionally, the "Factions" will be split into 3 categories, the 5 Alliances (Good, Evil, Chaos, Law, Destruction), House Uprisings (a collection of House-themed protest-like movements that can conflict with each other, and the new fate of GUAM and GUAN), and Pantheonic Coalitions (minor groups that don't fit into above, which includes genre-based groups, being a combination of Organizations and Groups as well.)

Every other minor group is moved into one of the above three or removed. Harbingers of Repression will be moved into GUAE as a rivaling sub-division, since Darkseid will be a GUAE Council Leader begrudgingly working with Melkor. Divine Order of Absolute Justice will be removed, but alternatively could be remade into a Religion Uprising movement. Order of Humanity could be either removed or reduced into a Pantheonic Coalition as an extremist human pride group. Soldiers of Fortune will be reduced to a Coalition. Hounds of War could be a War-themed Uprising, or removed otherwise.

3. Sure, but know that not everything is final. And don't make a ton of uproar about it in the forums.

SKREEEEEEEONK!

Say, with all the GUAs being revamped, what will this mean for my work on the Advance Wars COs?

No-Thumbs Mode

Hmm, who else would make use of these Disks?

Kanoka Disks

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/great_disks.png
Six example Disks

  • Potential Place: The Armory
  • Appearance: Discii with symbols representing areas in Metru Nui
  • Class Level: 5, 4 with enough of them
  • [tup]s:
  • Alignment: Depends on its user
  • Museum Check: Granted, with restrictions
  • Portfolio: Deadly Disc, One Of Many Substitutes For Firearms In The Setting, Various Powers (Freeze, Remove Poison, Shrink, Enlarge, Teleport, Regenerate (inorganics only), Weaken, Reconstitute At Random), Can Be Forged Into Kanohi
  • Domains: Disks, Powers, Weapons, Craft
  • Common Users: most Toa, but mainly Vakama, The Vahki (formerly)
  • Kanoka Disks are tools imbued with powers that are used for protection, technology, and combat by many inhabitants of the Matoran Universe. The technology to develop these disks was invented more than 7,000 years ago in Metru Nui's Ko-Metru Knowledge Towers. Kanoka, named after the Matoran word for "disk," are made from purified Liquid Protodermis, and contain different powers depending on the properties and purity of the Protodermis (what almost everything in the Matoran Universe is made out of) that is used. Kanoka were forged in all areas of the city and were available at central reserve areas or from various traders. They were also made into Kanohi on Metru Nui by Ta-Matoran Mask Makers.
  • Kanoka have 3 digits "printed" on them. The first digit determines its properties while launched (the usual way of using these disks, though throwing them or striking with them in melee is also possible), and represents the Metru in which the Disk was made. The second digit determines its effect upon collision with its target (see further below). The third digit determines the potency of this power, as well as its amount of uses before it loses its power and becomes an ordinary disc.
  • Kanoka can also be forged into Kanohi Masks, though only those made from Kanoka of Power Level 7 or 8 will have powers. Any Kanohi made from Kanoka of Powers Level 6 or lower lose their power and their only use is to keep Matoran able and functional. There are also Level 9 Kanoka, but only six ever existed, and they have since been fused and forged into the Mask of Time.
  • In terms of how the Kanoka came to be in the Pantheon, a special "dispenser" of sorts just showed up in the Treasury one day. As one manager of the Treasury, Whenua was the first to experiment with the device. Upon it ejecting a familiar Disk, he was shocked, and let the rest of the staff and the other Turaga know.
  • After discerning everything that could be known about the dispenser, it was decided to make it available for everybody's use (under restrictions, of course), given that the traditional method of creation is no longer available after Mata Nui's passing in the mortal realm. For reasons pertaining to funding the Treasury, and because they shouldn't come cheap, it's decided that anybody who wants a Kanoka has to pay a considerable fee to "roll" for one random Disk per day, and this "dispenser" will be closed off from use after a set number of customers have been "served". All Toa get a discount (but only one Kanoka like everyone else), while Vakama gets an additional disk for free on top of his discounted Disk.
    • That said, the "dispenser" only deposits up to Power Level 7, the level in which they can be forged into Noble Masks used by Turaga. Level 8 can be made into Great Masks as used by Toa, and are thus deemed too powerful, even with the low odds. And the Level 9 Disks restriction has already been explained.
  • As for Kanohi forging, having been a mask-maker, Vakama is the one to approach for such things. However, he's instructed to only accept Level 7 disks, since those lower will be powerless, and there are easier ways to get masks like that without wasting Kanoka. He can also provide a guide as to what Kanoka to fuse to get certain desired Kanohi.
  • Kanoka have their uses even without being made into Kanohi. In terms of their powers in detail, they are as follows.
    • The first digit determines its properties while launched. They are as follows:
      • 1XX: These Kanoka are stronger, and can knock obstacles out of the way. As for how it determines what's an obstacle and what's its target, it depends on its user's thoughts.
      • 2XX: These Kanoka can change direction in mid-air according to the user's thoughts.
      • 3XX: These Kanoka home in on other Kanoka and deflect them from their course while on its way to its target.
      • 4XX: These Kanoka dodge obstacles to get to its target. As for how it determines what's an obstacle and what's its target, it depends on its user's thoughts.
      • 5XX: These Kanoka can fly farther than the average Kanoka in proportion to launch velocity.
      • 6XX: These Kanoka return to thrower if diverted from course by any means.
    • The second digit determines its powers upon contact with its target. With the exception of 4, 7, 8, and maybe 2, all effects are temporary. They are as follows:
      • X1X: Reconstitute at Random - Temporarily scrambles the molecules of a target, resulting in a new and unpredictable shape. The scope of the change is tied to the power level of the disk. Can affect both living and non-living targets.
      • X2X: Freeze - Covers a target in a thick coating of solid ice.
      • X3X: Weaken - Reduces the strength of a living or nonliving target. Can be used to bring down structures. The intensity and duration of the effect is tied to the power level of the disk.
      • X4X: Remove Poison - Cures the effects of toxic substances (such as poison or venom) by erasing their presence in a target. Its possible effects on those with poison powers is yet to be determined.
      • X5X: Enlarge - Temporarily causes a target to grow rapidly. Size is tied to the power level of the disk, with a maximum of sixty feet for any target.
      • X6X: Shrink - Temporarily causes a target to reduce in size rapidly. Size is tied to the power level of the disk, with a minimum of six inches for any target.
      • X7X: Regenerate - Repairs a structure or piece of equipment to its original completed state no matter how much time has passed. Does not work on living targets and will do nothing against them apart from the pain of getting hit by the Kanoka. The extent of damage that can be repaired is tied to the power level of the disk.
      • X8X: Teleport - Causes a target to teleport at a random location. Range of teleportation is tied to the power level of the disk. Works on stasis fields as well. Teleportation direction of the target is determined by the user's thoughts.
    • The third digit represents the Power Level of the disk in question, ranging from 1 to 8. There were six that are Power Level 9, but they've since been used up.
  • Kanoka can be fused to make other kinds with different powers, such as Increase Weight, Levitation, Speed, and Flight, all of which are usually incorporated into transports. More potential Kanoka can be found here, and by extension, these can be crafted into their respective Kanohi.
    • In case you're wondering how a Kanoka of Speed, Telekinesis, Water Breathing, and the like would work, striking oneself hard enough with it will do the trick and grant its user that power for a while.
  • There are plenty of questions as to how Kanoka work. Plenty of them are answered here.
    • Regeneration Kanoka don't require all the pieces of a broken item to restore it. In fact, you can get multiple instances of that item by tapping each piece with the Kanoka, making it ideal for mass production if you know what you're doing.
    • Regeneration Kanoka cannot "recharge" another Kanoka.
    • One can merge as many Kanoka as one wants. However, no one in the Matoran race has ever merged Kanoka of differing Power Levels (e.g. a 7 and a 5).
    • Running electrical currents through Kanoka is theoretically possible. As for whether or not currents can activate them is unknown still.
    • Getting hit by a Reconstitute at Random Kanoka isn't any more painful than Star Trek transporters are (apart from the Kanoka colliding onto you).
    • If a Regeneration Kanoka is used on a building that has been demolished, rebuilt, then smashed, it will restore the building into its largest form. If the building was built, remodeled, then smashed, the Kanoka will restore the building to its latest form.
  • Due to how few Ta-Metru Mask Makers were in existence, there wasn't exactly a "Research and Development Department" equivalent in Metru Nui. Now that Kanoka are in the Pantheon, there is an R&D now somewhere in the House of Knowledge, though given Level 7 Kanoka are still rare because the dispenser doesn't give them out often enough, and since not all who are lucky enough to receive such are willing to part with them, progress is slow.
  • Besides being used as weapons, Freeze Disks have also been utilized by a few food industries when something needs freezing pronto. Weaken Disks prove helpful with demolition of decrepit buildings, and rocks that need clearing out. Given Levitation, Increase Weight, Flight, and Speed Disks have been used for transports on Metru Nui, similar methods are being used in the Pantheon, though aren't wholly reliant on them given how few Disks are available for use.
    • Even "depleted" Disks still have potential uses as raw materials, and analyses are currently being performed to replicate the process. Maybe they can't replicate the power, but protodermis is still of value.

  • Afraid of: Most deities that live underwater. The whole House of Water and Moisture while we're at it. Not so much anymore
  • While searching for candidates for Journey to the Center of the Mind, the Court decided that, while waiting for the sequel, they would bring up the Psychonaut cadet Razputin Aquato to the Pantheon for his achievements at Whispering Rock Psychic Summer Camp. For his part, Raz is curious to see what the Pantheon has to offer.
    • Eventually, he had to go "back" once his story was ready. Once everything there was over and done with, Raz returned to the Pantheon, better than ever, as a full-fledged (Junior) Psychonaut. Though he did forget a few abilities he had from before, but that was easily remedied.
  • In terms of what his temple looks like, it takes the form of his bunk at Whispering Rock Summer Camp during his first adventure.
  • Raz does his work by using a Psycho-Portal that puts Raz and whoever he uses the portal on into a trance while he does what he does inside the target's mind. Due to built-in blocks, he cannot use the Psycho-Portal on anybody younger than 18 years old. It's also blocked by shower heads (and maybe other head-covering implements), those with "mental blocks" set against invasive psychic devices, and those who can remove the Psycho-Portal with their own powers. As far as he knows, only psychics can enter minds through Psycho-Portal, and has not tested if he can take a non-psychic with him given he has very little non-psychic allies (besides perhaps some of his family, who were slow to approve of his psychic powers).
  • As someone gifted with psychic powers, Raz was quick to make friends with the friendly kind such as Jean Grey, Professor X, J'onn the Martian Manhunter, Ness, Lucas, and most Psychics from the Pokémon world, both 'Mons and humans alike (though he was slower to warm up to Sabrina, given the different versions of her). He's currently considering whether or not some of them are trustworthy enough to bring with him through Psycho-Portal to investigate minds if they're not able to access the minds of others already.
    • Two races of the New Alliance of Free Stars have also had Raz under consideration; the Syreen, who all have overall superior psychic talent might have a closer genetic relation to humanity than expected, and the Arilou, who can speak to people telepathically and are basically The Greys.
    • There's also Silver the Hedgehog, who's also psychic, though is limited to telekinesis and levitation (both much more powerful than what any Psychonaut can do) with no real hint towards any telepathy (beyond the now-defunct Archie Comics continuity). That said, Silver is also a time-traveler, and that got Raz's attention give his enthusiasm for all sorts of paranormal stuff. It also helps that they're around the same age (Silver's 14, Raz is 10)
  • Having had a terrible past in the circus (at least that's how he rememebered it at first), Raz opposes the likes of Tökkentäkker, Needles Kane, and Circus Baby.
  • Due to his Gypsy Curse, Raz stays away from all bodies of water that he can be immersed in, and therefore all deities who live beneath it. How bad is the gypsy curse on him? Even figurative depictions of water (such as cardboard waves) can hurt him. Also, when ever Raz enters water deeper than a few inches, a supernatural liquid hand called the Hand of Galochio attempts to grab him and pull him beneath the surface. Whether Raz has created a psychic placebo (i.e. his fears make the hand come to life), or there really is an external curse is still being determined. And if it is the latter, there are those wondering if that curse would go away if he gets killed at least once in the Pantheon. When that happened (his first death in the Pantheon), it's implied to be the former.
    • As it turns out, it's actually sort of both, for the Hand of Galochio was created by Ford Cruller as a result of him implanting a strong fear of water in Lucrecia Mux/Maligula/Nona Aquato's mind to stop her from reawakening her hydrokinesis. This fear had then been passed to Augustus, and from him to all the Aquato children, including Raz. Once it was understood that there is no curse, the Hand is no longer hostile, Raz is able to tread water safely with the Hand's help, and it will even rescue him if he thinks he's in danger from drowning by pulling him to someplace dry. Given his great-aunt was actually Maligula, it's likely that he has inherent hydrokinetic potential as well.
  • As someone who can change the opinions of people just by going into their heads, so to speak, he's drawn the attention of the Inception crew and the Phantom Thieves of Hearts. And his friendship with the latter eventually got him attention from the Investigation Team as well, whose members have had their issues mostly mended through their trips to the TV World.
    • He has more cordial relations with Ren's crew, especially with Futaba Sakura, whose initial situation needed a change of heart from inside just like with some of the folks Raz helped. As long as he promises to follow their lead and not kill main Palace Shadows, he can join the crew in their Heists there. Unfortunately, the reverse cannot ocurr, as the Psycho-Portal only works between target and Psychonaut, and it's not known what might happen if he and the Phantoms target the same person with their separate methods and what effects there can be on the Mental Worlds Raz travels to and the Metaverse the Phantoms navigate in.
    • At least, that was how it worked at first. After a couple of cooperative missions where they end up investigating the same target, holes in the Palaces have been sighted that lead into places different yet similar to them. And then when Raz was sighted there, it's turns out that there is a way to enter Mental Worlds after all; through these holes. However, it's not known what would happen to the Phantoms if they're still in these worlds if Raz ends up leaving (either by way of Smelling Salts (which merely instantly awaken its user from sleep in the case of the Phantoms), his projection getting "killed", or otherwise being forced out), so caution is advised.
    • As of his second adventure, he came back to meet the new additions Violet, SOPHIE, and Wolf, and was amused to see an officer as part of the crew, given that the Psychonauts in part do what the Phantoms do, but as an official organization. He's also since become a lot more cautious when it comes to meddling with minds, ever since the disaster with Agent Forsythe Hollins when his attempt to turn her from a safety-freak into someone more tolerant of sending him and his fellow interns to a mission turned her into a gambling addict. He managed to fix that, but still got a scolding for it and he realized his mistake.
      • When he inquired with the Phantoms about that, given their own modus operandi, he was given a talk on the targets they changed the hearts of; all of them were despicable folks who have a lot of people suffering under their heels, and were untouchable by the law in some form or other. There was literally no one who could/would stop them save the Phantom Thieves. This left Raz at odds with himself since technically speaking their agenda run at odds with Psychonauts rules and the responsibility that comes with their powers.
      • Because of that, Raz loathes Akechi for his acts of murder in the Metaverse, cursing the fact that he's only 17, thus preventing Raz from using the Psycho-Portal on him. He only tolerates the detective because Ren vouches for him and because Akechi's past was full of messed up stuff.
      • In regards to Prince Gristol, Ren stated that he was the kind of scum the Phantoms would go after. But they won't not only out of respect to Raz, but because he's already technically apprehended by the law in the end.
      • As for Dr. Takuto Maruki, Raz has made his opposition on the ex-psychologist's former plans for his ideal world clear. Maruki knows there are parties interested in awakening that side of him that wants to pursue that ideal again and has offered Raz access to his mind so as to help prevent that from happening again (plus helping the Psychonaut understand him more). And because of what Maruki has done, Raz is particularly sympathetic towards Sumire since her mind was altered by him, even if it did stave her off from depression and inevitable suicide before Ren came to her life and mended her for real.
  • Having had terrible experiences with them, he doesn't like mad doctors and other folks who mess with minds. Particulars he don't like are Dr. Zomboss (who wishes to eat brains, and so do his brethren) and Arael (whose modus operandi is Mind Rape, especially after hearing what it did to Asuka). There are also the malicious psychics such as Alma Wade, Magnus the Red, and Typhus.
  • Like any sane person, Bill Cipher is also an enemy due to his ability to appear to people in their dreams to make deals, his expertise at manipulation, and his agenda for Weirdmageddon.
  • Alice swore she once saw his skeleton in (Dark) Wonderland. Raz has no plans on visiting Wonderland anytime soon as a result and hopes that wasn't him in the future.
  • According to his old myspace account, Raz is a Capricorn. He also doesn't like bees or cilantro, but is not afraid of them. Additionally, he has no issues against gay couples, having encountered one among the Psychic Six/Seven in Bob Zanotto and Helmut Fullbear.
  • In terms of people who have had villains hidden in their family just like him, the closest would be Sasuke Uchiha, whose ancestor Madara drove Itachi to kill members of his own clan. And in some continuities, this also applies to Tony Stark (his biological father turns out to have been a member of HYDRA) and Spider-Woman (her parents are also HYDRA agents). Raz gets along with the superheroes, while he's wary of the Last Uchiha.
  • Raz took an interest in Ned Needlemeyer when he found out about his chronic nightmares, and the nightmare-plagued boy couldn't be more welcoming a chance to be cured of his bad dreams. That said, Ned's unfortunately too young for the Psycho-Portal to work on him, so Raz decided he would need some help and contacted the Phantom Thieves of Hearts. One Meta-Nav scan later revealed that Ned indeed had a Palace, and soon they and Raz went in.
    • Unfortunately, things there proved a tad more difficult than anticipated. While not exactly as hard as Shido's Palace, Ned's came with multiple obstructions that required going outside regularly to consult him. Due to what happened last time someone entered their own Palace (Futaba), Ned cannot come along this time, and bringing Fuuka might be needed for cross-dimensional contact. While the Phantoms were now personally dedicated to helping Ned now, Raz insisted on coming with on this venture; he had promised to help him, no matter how long it took, and Ned was forever grateful to them all.

So, here is my strategy going forward. First, I'm going to start Koro-Sensei's profile from scratch, then revise Class 3-E based on the updates that have occurred as I refamiliarize myself with the Pantheon. For now, I'll use both Color-Coded Emotions and Excuse Me While I Multitask as a dual-hold.

Before I begin preliminary work, is his old profile still buried in any archives or shall I start him over from scratch?

[tup] for Raz.

Also, hello, people, it's been a long time, since I was preoccupied with other things for a while. So here's a long overdue new version of Merlina. Feedback is more than appreciated.

As a reminder, she's the wizard granddaughter of Merlin who, having seen the end of King Arthur's kingdom, tried to make it eternal by having it been swallowed by darkness, then ended up learning the importance of things ending and the error of her ways.

Merlina the Wizard, Goddess of Comparatively Innocent Villainesses (The Dark Queen, Queen of The Underworld)

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/merlina_waifu2x_art_noise1_scale_tta_1.png
As the Dark Queen 
The Dark Queen's battle form 
  • Theme Song: With Me
  • Lesser Goddess (Greater Goddess as The Dark Queen)
  • Symbol: A picked flower
  • Alignment: Neutral Good, used to be Lawful Evil
  • Portfolio: Villainess that's less evil than male villains, Cast herself as Sonic's ally at first, Had good intentions behind her actions, Once saw no value in mortal life, Sought to make the kingdom eternal at all cost, Saw the error of her way after her defeat, Always remain calm
  • Domains: Villainy, Intentions, Desperation, Magic
  • High Priestess: Aversa
  • Special Relationship: Merlin (Her grandfather)
  • Allies: Sonic The Hedgehog, and other heroic deities from his world, King Arthur Pendragon, Artoria Pendragon, Lancelot du Lac, Gawain, Galahad, Mash Kyrielight, Casshern
  • Enemies: All villainous Sonic deities, especially Erazor Djinn, Morgan Le Fay, Both Mordreds, The Grand United Alliance of Destruction, Yhwach
  • Teeth-Clenched Teamwork with: Artoria Pendragon Alter
  • Pities: Davoth, Luna
  • There are many variations of the Arthurian Legend. In one odd variation, King Arthur was but a construct created by Merlin for the sake of ruling the kingdom, and one who ended up being corrupted by the scabbard of Excalibur into a tyrant terrorizing his people with demonic creatures. But perhaps an even bigger divergence was the fact that Merlin had a grandaughter named Merlina, who inherited the position of court mage. When said girl learned that the kingdom was part of a story destined to end by its fall, she fell into despair. And so she sought to steal the Scabbard and extend its power of immortality over the whole land to make it eternal at the cost of casting it into eternal darkness. To do so, she summoned Sonic the Hedgehog from another world to defeat King Arthur. What she didn't count was the heroic speedster turning on her and stopping her plan. But after beating her, Sonic made her realize that everything will end someday, but that you should enjoy those days to the fullest.
  • The Merlin of the Pantheon, who is a composite of all of his incarnations in the multiverse couldn't help but feel sorry that his granddaughter had fallen into such sorrow and was glad to see that she understood the error in her ways. Yet as he watched over Sonic's adventures, he noticed that not only was she one main antagonist of the heroic hedgehog's tales who was female, but that unlike a great majority of them, she had genuinely good intentions instead of a base lust for power. And so, he proposed to the Court that she be brought in as the representative of Comparatively Innocent Villainesses, which was accepted.
    • Merlina was surprised to see Sonic coming back to her world to lead her to a place called the 'Pantheon'. Upon arriving there, she was even more shocked to see her grandfather and promptly began to deeply apologize for her actions. But instead of berating or punishing her, the Enchanter gave her a reassuring pat on the back as he told her he knew she only wanted to save the kingdom. After which, she accepted her new title as a reminder of her misdeeds, and swore to atone for them by working alongside her grandfather.
  • Sonic himself was quite happy to work with her again in the Pantheon despite her previous manipulations, as he's not the type to hold grudges and it helps that she previously helped him and his friends. She was rather surprised to learn that several of his friends were similar to her version of the Knights of the Table Round and Lady Nimue, but this hasn't put a damper on her relationships with them. Though she can't help but be surprised by the differences between counterparts, especially with Amy Rose's flightiness compared to the lady of the lake.
    • Naturally, this bond led to her making enemies with many of Sonic's foes. But the one case where this really goes personal is with Erazor Djinn, another inhabitant of a story who sought the power to rule it, though unlike her he did it for purely selfish reasons. And so, she has sworn that she would stand in the way of his plans to control all stories.
  • She was more than shocked to learn that there were not one, but two 'real' versions of King Arthur in the Pantheon, especially since one of them, Artoria, is a woman. Upon meeting both in person, she once again bowed to apologize for her actions towards the kingdom of Britain. However, they quickly forgave her, as they realized she wanted to save her homeland just as they sacrificed everything to protect it. Especially since Artoria herself went off the deep end trying to make Camelot eternal in an alternate timeline. As such, they more than glad to welcome her in their services. By contrast, she highly disturbed by Saber Alter, as her Artoria's corrupted self remind her of the tyrant her grandfather's creation became, though she has been much less evil ever since joining Chaldea. For her part, she doesn't appreciate being judged by "a foolish girl who nearly cast Camelot into darkness".
    • Naturally, returning under Arthur's service means she has been working with Knights of the Round Table, who don't hold her past against her. At first, she was deeply uncomfortable with Lancelot, as she knew that his affair with the queen was the first step to Britain's ruin. However, he soon approached her that she was entirely right to admonish him for his mistake, but that he was working to atone for them just like she was. Ever since then, they have been working better together.
    • By contrast, she despites either versions of Mordred and Morgan the Fay for being the direct cause of the fall of Camelot, and having it done quite deliberately. Naturally, she has sworn that she wouldn't allow them to continue their wickedness in the Pantheon. Morgan just scoffed at her, saying that she had no room to lecture her after she tried to usurp control of Britain for herself. While the comparison disturbed Merlina, she holds that unlike her, Morgan only ever thought of herself.
    • She was surprised to learn that one version of Galahad inhabited the body of a young girl named Mash Kyrielight who works for Chaldea, an organization that protect humanity. The mage has proposed to help with that mission, though she was very disturbed to hear about a Camelot in an alternate timeline which indeed stood eternal, but at the cost of Artoria becoming a tyrannical goddess far worse than even the Black Knight.
  • While she has developped beyond her obsession of making her kingdom eternal, she still vehemently oppose anyone who would try to hasten demise of people and worlds. So naturally, she despise the Grand Alliance led by Nekron, and amongst them, Dhuum is hellbent on punishing her for having once tried to get rid of the concept of death. Tough she can't help but be uneasy towards even more benevolent embodiment of death such as Death of the Endless.
  • She was surprised to learn of other people who sought to make their worlds eternal, such as the fallen god Davoth, who sought to bring immortality to his creations out of a fear of being alone. Tough she heavily sympathizes with his motivation, his dark powers along with his army of demonic monsters can't help but disturb her as it remind her of her time as the Dark Queen. He himself is disapointed that she gave up on such a laudable goal, tough he's also interested in potentially claiming the Scabbard of Excalibur for his own goals.
    • Another being she holds in a similar view is the mysterious woman known as Luna, who had become disgusted with the concept of death and sought to get rid of it, even if it was at the cost of people's humanity. She too wishes Luna could see the error in her actions, while the latter is disapointed that the mage no longer has the mindset to help her on her quest to make an eternal world. She also has met with the android Casshern, who had also learned the importance of things ending someday. He has been doing his best to help Merlina cope
    • On the other hand, she has nothing but disgust for Yhwach. While he too want to remove the concept of death by fusing the mortal world and the afterlife, the way he treats the lives of both his enemies and his subordinates make it clear he only thinks of himself, and his motivation is the fear of losing his life. She is hellbent that the Scabbard should never end in the hands of a tyrant like him.

[up] She’d despise the Heartless for actually being the ones to destroy Camelot. She’ll also get on Excalbur’s bad side for using his scabbard as part of his plans.

In addition, there is another individual going by the name of her Grandfather in the Pantheon, that being the Boar’s Sin of Gluttony. And some may think she inherited her Grandfather’s condition.

Here's the draft for Creepers. They're strange, green creatures that sneak up on players and blow themselves up, and are some of the most popular characters in Minecraft.

So are there other creatures/enemies that blow themselves up?

  • When the first baby laughed for the first time, their laugh broke into a million pieces, and they all went skipping about. That was the beginning of fairies. Ever since, whenever a child lets out their first laugh, the newborn fairies are spirited to the faraway Neverland, where they are given their chosen role. One particular fairy took upon a rather unique position as a tinker, mending pots and kettles for her fellow fairies. In fact, it was this profession that earned this fairy her name. Tinker Bell. Tink is a rather fascinating individual; she can go from kind and loyal to feisty, sad, angry and even jealous of others. But Tink is known more than just for her metalwork or emotion swings. She is the closest friend and ally to Peter Pan, the immortal flying boy, and are often seen together while exploring Neverland and partaking in various adventures. Mostly involving pirates. One night, Peter and tink visited a nursery in London, England to recover the former's shadow. There, the pair met three young children; Wendy, John and Michael Darling. The three were fans of Peter Pan and after helping him reunite with his shadow, Pan offered to take them to Neverland where they never had to grow up. This... proved to be a problem for Tink. Turns out she became extremely jealous of Wendy's attraction, so jealous in fact that the little fairy tricked the Lost Boys into shooting down the "Wendy-Bird" when she first came to Neverland. The plan failed and Tink was banished as a result. Jilted from being banished, Tink teamed up with Pan's nemesis, Captain James Hook, who offered to get rid of Wendy in exchange for leaving Peter be. Of course, it was all a trick. Tink was captured and Hook left a little something to kill Pan.note  But Tink quickly escaped and sacrificed her life for Peter. Peter managed to save Tink - with a little outside help - and together they rescued the Darling children and the Lost Boys from Hook's pirates. With her jealousy gone, Peter and Tink took the Darlings back to London, returning home themselves via a flying pirate ship. Occasionally, the pair fly back to England to visit Wendy and take her children on new adventures in Neverland.
  • Tink arrived in the Pantheon at the same time as Peter Pan and the Lost Boys. It all started on a sunny day in Neverland. Peter and the Lost Boys had set off in search of pirates to fight, with Tink tagging along as well. They found pirates... just not the ones they were expecting. Instead of Hook, they stumbled upon a bizarre band of misfits, unlike anything they had ever seen. But pirates are pirates, and the kids were ready for some fun and games. The two groups duked it out aboard the pirate ship, with Peter contending with the "Straw Hat" wearing captain. Tink meanwhile used her signature pixie dust to send the pointy-nosed slingshot sniper and the tiny reindeer floating into the air before plopping them into the ocean.note  When she returned to the ship, Peter and the Straw Hat captain, Monkey D. Luffy, ended their bout in a friendly draw. Impressed, Peter asked why Luffy's crew came to Neverland and if they were familiar with Captain Hook. Luffy looked at the boy with confusion and explained they weren't in Neverland, but rather a place known only as "The Pantheon." Tink was just as confused as Peter but both quickly realized that the Pantheon had much more to offer in terms of games and fun. For Tink, there was the added bonus of more fairies to meet. Not to mention plenty of pots and kettles she could fix. She, Peter and the Lost Boys quickly took to meeting the Higher Gods, who gave the flying boy and fairy godly titles; Tink, in particular, receiving Fairy Companion due to being Peter's main ally and being one of the first examples of one in the Multiverse. Now a part-time resident, Tinker Bell has found herself a very busy fairy, not that she's complaining.
  • Much like Peter Pan, Tinker Bell has a temple in the Pantheon but chooses not to visit it. Instead, she travels back and forth from Neverland with Peter in the same way they always do. Second star to the right and straight on till morning. When she does visit her temple it leads to a place very few ever visit. Pixie Hollow, also known as Fairy Haven, is located north of Neverland and is a place where all four seasons coexist in harmony. It is the home of Neverland's fairies, and it is where Tink reunited with her close friends and companions. There's Fawn, a tomboyish animal fairy, perky and energetic light fairy Iridessa, sweet and caring water fairy Silvermist, Rosetta, a well-mannered garden fairy, the fast-flying Vidia, who was an old rival with Tink, and Terence, a dust-keeper sparrow man who has a crush on Tinker Bell. Not that she ever notices. The gang will sometimes travel to the Pantheon to have their own adventures with Tink, usually whenever Peter isn't around. when he does pop by, Tink's friends playfully tease her about their friendship. It's all in good fun but it also drives her nuts, flying around trying to catch them, much to Peter's amusement.
  • Most who first see Tinker Bell will probably see her as a glowing ball of light, the colour changing with her emotional state. But like so many other deities in the Pantheon, Tink's appearance will change depending on the universe or timeline she was previously in. She's most commonly seen with blond hair and wearing a green dress; as seen in the Disney and 2003 timelines. On other occasions, she will appear as a talkative Redhead - sometimes with pink hair in rare cases - and on the rarest of instances, Tink is seen with bird-like wings or as a silver-bodied pixie with cosmically-imbued powers. Her strangest appearances are actually when she's not small. In fact, in Magical Lands timeline, Tink was changed into a human as punishment for stealing pixie dust to help others in need. Regardless of how she appears, she's always there for Peter Pan no matter what.
  • As soon as she arrived in the Pantheon, Tinker Bell began seeking out other fairies or members of The Fair Folk. Her first fairy encounter was with the tooth fairy Toothiana, the two crossing paths when Toothiana to collect teeth from the Lost Boys. Tink initially found Toothiana's hummingbird-like assistants a bit annoying, but both fairies came to respect each other, with the latter welcoming Peter and Tink to visit her palace. The tiny AI program Yui was another fairy Tink befriended following her ascension, offering her some tea while hanging out. During one of their meetings, Tink came across a strange creature known only as Puck. Tink and Yui followed Puck into the forest, eventually ending up in the domain of the king and queen of the fairies, Oberon and Titania. They were initially dismissive of Tinker Bell, which set off the little fairy, resulting in her using her Pixie Dust on Puck to make him fly. Impressed by this, and somewhat amused, Oberon and Titania changed their tone. They welcomed Tink and Yui in their kingdom whenever the pair ever want to visit, even providing assistance to Neverland should dangerous threats befall the island.
  • Another batch of fairies Tink befriended were Cosmo and Wanda, two fairy godparents belonging to young human Timmy Turner. The pair find Tink rather interesting, due to her knack for fixing objects and using pixie dust to make people fly. Timmy Turner was surprised to see such a tiny fairy and was quick to warn her about Denzel Crocker, a crazed man with a desire to capture and expose fairies to the world, and the monotone Head Pixie, who wishes to make Neverland part of his bureaucratic empire. Timmy also, very wisely, agreed with his godparents to never mention Tinklebell around Tink, lest they face her fury.
    • One day, Tink decided to take a nap on what she thought was a bare branch lined with gems. She quickly learned it was no branch. It was an antler, belonging to a massive deer-like creature garbed with brilliant blue. It was the Legendary Pokémon Xerneas, and after realizing her mistake Tink took an immediate liking to it, citing that the Pokémon "felt familiar". Often times she can be found still lounging on one of Xerneas' antlers whenever hanging out with her fellow fairies. Xerneas doesn't mind and will sometimes travel to Neverland to rest from the chaos of the Pantheon.
  • But not everyone in the Pantheon gets along with Tinker Bell. She had to contend with several fairies that are, to put it bluntly, more antagonistic towards her and others around them. One was the Fairy Godmother of Far Far Away, who wished to use Neverland's pixie dust to supply her factory and get revenge on the ogre Shrek. Tink's not willing to share and sees the Fairy Godmother as an insult to all the fair folk. The same applies to the alien lifeform known as Killer BOB, who planned on wiping out Neverland once he was done with Twin Peaks. The Cryst-fairy Airy also rubbed Tink and Peter the wrong way, with the latter being particularly disturbed that a supposedly helpful figure was really stringing her homeworld "allies" all along to aid in her evil plan. She once tried to kill Tink with a Zetta Flare, but the former was quick enough to evade... only for the attack to decimate Hook's ship. Ever since the Neverland duo keep their distance.
    • But the one Tinker Bell fears the most is Maleficent. The Mistress of All Evil decided to attack Pixie Hollow hoping to spread her dark influence over the land, as well as destroy it with her Heartless forces. Tink and her friends did their best to hold off Maleficent, but she proved to be too much for them. It was only with the arrival of the three good fairies - Flora, Fauna and Merryweather - did they drive the dark fairy away from Neverland. While thankful, Tink's mood swings made it difficult for Flora and Fauna to talk with her. Not so much with with Merryweather, who gets along with Ms. Bell the most.
  • Due to her small size, Tinker Bell isn't considered much of a threat to larger deities. But this size difference, combined with her access to pixie dust and manipulative nature, has made Tink deceptively dangerous even by fairy standards. After all, She's not above convincing the unsuspecting Lost Boys to shoot those she considers her rivals just like she did with Wendy and her negative nature can overwhelm her at times. There is a fascinating reason for it; Neverland fairies are so small they only experience one emotion at a time.
  • If there's one thing Tinker Bell likes to do - besides fixing things and hanging out with Peter Pan - it's messing with Captain Hook and his pirates. Her history with Hook goes a long way back, and anytime she gets the chance to fight the crew of the Jolly Roger she relishes it. But while Peter was thrilled to discover the Pantheon was filled to the brim with pirates, Tink was a little warier. Sure she could deal with Hook himself, Kaptain K. Rool, and Yosemite Sam by having Tick-Tock the crocodile chase them off, there are other pirates that have proven to be more dangerous. Euron Greyjoy, King of the Iron Islands, heard rumours of Neverland's Pixie Dust and desired to use it in his quest to conqueror Westeros while destroying the island in the process. There was also Risky Boots, who also wanted the pixie dust for herself and actually launched an invasion to take Pixie Hollow by force. Tink and Peter Pan worked together with Shantae to drive off Risky and since then, they've had the half-genie hero in speed-dial.
    • There have been a few times where Tinker Bell has travelled or worked with pirates, much to her chagrin. Aside from the Straw Hats, she and Peter once helped the infamous Captain Jack Sparrow in order to rescue Wendy, her brothers and the Lost Boys from the octopus-faced Davy Jones, all of them nearly getting consumed by the Kraken. Another time, several strange, brightly coloured charms landed in Neverland, with Peter and Hook each collecting them. This attracted six mysterious pirates from beyond the sky, a team known as the Gokaiger. The "charms" Peter and Hook had collected were in fact Ranger Keys, and after explaining the situation, Peter offered to help, seeing an opportunity to humiliate Hook once more. Tink didn't trust the rangers, especially the greedy, yellow-clad Luka Millfy, who poked fun at the tiny fairy when they first met. But that hostility died off when they defeated Hook and returned the remaining Ranger Keys to the Gokaiger. Tink and Luka, while not friends, gained some respect for each other, and sometimes can be seen trying to engage in conversation.
    • Luka did help with one thing. She introduced Tink to some associates of her team. The Mystic Force Power Rangers, masters of magic and defenders of Briarwood Forest. Tink felt a strong connection with the rangers and quickly warmed up to them, but none more so than the wind-based Pink Ranger Vida Rocca. A tomboy by heart, Vida found it amusing that Tink connected with her, considering the former's titan form resembled a sprite in appearance. Both will hang out when Vida is off-duty, sometimes visiting Pixie Hollow to meet the other fairies. They'll even work together to defend Pixie Hollow from any hidiacs that might end up in Neverland.
  • Tinker Bell may be a pint-sized powerhouse, but even she has her flaws. She, like every other fairy in Neverland, will die should she be in the presence of someone who doesn't believe in fairies. The only way to resurrect Tink is for people to, simply put, clap their hands and say "I believe in fairies." It works like a charm, but Tink has to be careful around the more cynical Pantheon denizens, especially Professor Membrane who, unlike Denzel Crocker, is a stern skeptic who insists that the fairies of Neverland are only fairy tale fantasies. She doesn't want to go through another near-death experience. To this end, she often seeks out young children, as they are the most likely to believe in creatures such as her, becoming less pronounced over time.
  • While using Pixie Dust is her most skilled feat, Tinker Bell is still, well, a tinker at heart. She loves fixing pots, pans and other household utensils. She has even dabbled in fixing strange items that some people called "Pokéballs", made from hard fruit shells. This drew even stranger attention, as a young boy named Ash Ketchum found Tink mending one of these old-fashion spheres. He initially thought she was a Pokémon and was about to catch her... this only pissed her off and after teaching him a harsh lesson, Tink and Peter explained the ins and outs of Neverland life. Ash was intrigued by this and offered to travel to show the pair his homeworld and even meet some friends of his. Things were going pretty well... until Peter met some of Ash's lady friends. Tink wasn't too keen on these girls keeping Pan all to themselves. In her jealousy, she tried to get rid of a few of them, starting with Ash's oldest friend Misty. Unfortunately for Tink, Misty's Psyduck was out and was using Psychic. It didn't end well, let's just say. Regardless, Tink doesn't mind Ash all too much, he's even showed her a variety of Apricorn Pokéballs for her to tinker with and fix.
  • There is more to Neverland than just fairies, Lost Boys and pirates. The island is also inhabited by mermaids, native tribes, a variety of wild animals for an intrepid explorer to meet. In the Pantheon, Tinker Bell found herself meeting individuals that reminded her of these inhabitants. The mermaids Ponyo and Ariel reminded Tink of stories Peter had told of Mermaid Lagoon, while Pocahontas of the Powhatan People brought back memories of the fierce Princess Tiger Lily. The three don't mind Tink's presence, with the little fairy respecting all three and sometimes listening to their adventures and stories.
  • Some in the Pantheon believed Cirno, a hot-tempered fairy with unique ice powers, would be more suitable as a Goddess of Fairies over Tink. However, Cirno has made no claims for the position and is perfectly happy with the one she currently occupies. Or so it would seem. In reality, Cirno does desire Tink's position, and once even tried to team up with Captain Hook to achieve said goal. Hook betrayed her rather quickly, and just as quickly, Tink and her friends helped Cirno out in beating back the old codfish. Since then, Tink and Cirno reforged their friendship... even if Tink was a little miffed the ice fairy tried to steal her title.
  • Tinker Bell found herself becoming acquainted with those who either have respect for the Fair Folk, or were accompanied by fairies from time to time. One example of this is Ghaleon. Though a powerful magician, and eventually revealed to be the Magic Emperor, Ghaleon has a fondness for fairies and pixies, even allowing Tink and her friends to come to his garden should they feel like visiting. She may not be friends with him, but she can respect his compassion towards her kind. But the one who garners the most attention is Hyrule's chosen hero Link, who vaguely resembled Peter Pan with his pointy ears and green tunic. Raised in Kokiri Forest, Link bonded with his own fairy companion Navi, who is often seen as a glowing ball of blue light with wings. Navi quickly befriended Tinker Bell and along with Yui, can sometimes be seen enjoying some tea and talking about their many adventures in their respective worlds. It was also through Navi and Link that Tink gained a strong respect for Princess Zelda, the ruler and protector of Hyrule, and a strong disdain for the vile Ganondorf, who Navi once fought against long ago, as well as the shadowy Dark Link, who often attacks his light counterpart when given the chance. Link also took Peter and Tink to meet an acquaintance of his, a lonely, flute-playing individual known simply as The Skull Kid. The lad had two fairy friends of his own, Tatl and Tael, who took an interest in Tink and together, all four hanged out with Skull Kid, with Peter even making him an honorary Lost Boy. It was for the best, as The Skull Kid was once possessed by Majora's Mask, and nearly caused destroyed Termina in the process. Tinker Bell learned this from Tatl and Tael, and vowed to make sure the mask never possessed either Peter or the Skull Kid, especially after learning of its existence in the Pantheon.
  • Of all the gods in the Pantheon, the last one anyone would expect Tinker Bell to befriend would've been Guts, considering his infamous reputation as the Black Swordsman. But as Tinker Bell soon discovered, he was a lot more than his reputation entailed. Tink happened upon Guts after a brutal battle. He had faced the notorious Zorda and her seven followers, with Guts only managing to survive the fight. When Tink approached, she was met by two pixies, the blue-haired Puck and the pick-haired Ivalera. After the initial hostilities, they explained that Guts was too weak to move and they needed to get back to their other companions. Tink came up with a solution; Pixie Dust. Using her talents, Guts began to float, much to everyone's shock as the other components of flight in Neverland were faith and trust. Apparently, Guts had enough trust in Tink to allow her to do her work. After returning to camp, Guts was patched up and expected to make a full recovery and with that, Tink was ready to head out... but not until Puck and Ivalera stopped her. They explained how Guts had done so much for them and they couldn't thank her for what she did. Tink was surprised and somewhat humbled, and will sometimes stop by Guts' temple to see how his journey is faring, even introducing Peter Pan to Puck and Ivalera. It did end up putting them on Zorda's hitlist, as well as earning the ire of Guts' former friend turned Godhand, Griffith. Tink doesn't seem to mind.
  • One day, Fawn and Iridessa came across a round, pink ball sleeping under a tree near Pixie Hollow. They told Tink about it, and together they investigated. Turned out the ball was a strange creature called Kirby, and upon seeing the fairies got excited. It took a moment to realize what he was happy about until they did some research. Turns out Kirby once met a fairy from Ripple Star named Ribbon, and helped her collect the Crystal Shards to defeat the Dark Matter Horde. And as fate would have it, Dark Matter invaded the Pantheon a few days after Tink met Kirby. She instantly called upon the puffball's help, and one Final Smash later, the menace was put in its place. Since then, Kirby has been welcomed to visit Pixie Hollow... as long as he doesn't eat up every bit of food in sight.
  • One day, Tink and Peter discovered Wendy had been abducted by Captain Hook - again - and set off to rescue her. The pair ended up encountering a young boy named Sora, along with his animal companions Donald Duck and Goofy, who were aboard the Jolly Roger to rescue their own friend Kairi. Together, the group fought off Hook and his Heartless army before taking Wendy back to London. Afterwards, Peter asked Sora to take Tink with him on his further journeys. Tink became a vital summon on Sora's adventures, helping heal the boy whenever he got injured in battle. That being said, she likes to mess around with Donald Duck at any given opportunity. She was happy to see all three appear in the Pantheon, lending her assistance whenever Sora needs aid. But as it turned out the little pixie had her fair share of strange encounters. Ten years before meeting Sora, Tinker Bell met three other keyblade masters named Terra, Ventus and Aqua, whom she allied herself with against Hook and the black-masked warrior Vanitas. As well, she encountered Organization XIII members Roxas and Axel and helped them learn to fly and deal with the Heartless trailing after the Captain. Due to these multiple encounters, Tink often aids Sora and his allies against not only the Heartless but the Nobodies and Unversed that also threaten the worlds, putting her at odds with the aforementioned Maleficent, her bumbling lackey Pete and the nefarious Master Xehanort.
  • Now Tink goes back and forth from speaking like other people to communicating via bell-like sounds. Most folks have trouble understanding what she is saying... but they learn very quickly. Turns out the first phrase most people learn in the fairy language is "You silly ass," mostly thanks to Tinker Bell saying it so many times. Wendy can attest to this. For her part, Tink doesn't seem to mind and continues to do so to anyone she doesn't like.

  • The City’s Backstreets see no shortage are pretty much an entirely different world from the Nests they surround as they have no shortage of Syndicates skulking its grounds and borders. Of the various gangs and bands of lowlifes that pop up by the day and are prone to disappear just as quickly, there exist five Syndicates who stand at the apex of the Backstreets. The Five Fingers, otherwise known as the Hand, are the ruling powers of the Backstreets and have grown so powerful that not even the Wings or even the Head can easily interfere with their business. One of the Fingers, the Index, is essentially a cult that follows bizarre orders known as Prescripts, a phenomenon that has long cemented itself as a Star of the City type of threat. No one knows where they came from, and no Prescript is similar to one another, but whatever orders permitted must be carried out with faith no matter how odd or brutal they may be. Failure to follow them results in a visit by a Proxy to punish the rulebreaker.
    • Enter Yan Vismok, a young man whose life was ruined by the Prescripts as he was forced to put down his friends and family thanks to them, but the last straw finally came when he received a Prescript that followed the aforementioned deed. He expected that it would have ordered him to take his own life but instead Yan was left with the orders to join the Index as a Messenger tasked with delivering those same instructions that brought so much pain. After staring blankly at the paper in his hands, Yan resolved to use his position to forge them as he pleased, expressing his free will and showcasing they aren’t as absolute as everyone thinks... That was the plan, anyway. Later on, he would find that this, too, was willed by these mysterious messages he sought to deviate from as they ordered his peers to follow his counterfeit commands, even if it meant imminent death by heading into the Library. As the Prescripts command. Yan himself would be handed a Prescript that would take him to where they are “born” and though the Prescripts are physically transcribed from the City's "heartbeat" through a seismograph-like device, and the papers themselves were born from the City folk’s collective pleas and wishes. The Prescripts, and really the City itself, is like that because humans themselves are and have always been cruel. The revelation proves too much to bear, crushing his will as he accepts the futility of fighting and succumbs to the Distortion Phenomenon. He would later head into the Library and turn into a book but following Angela's decision to spread the Light once more, Yan was freed.
  • To .... Search for a painting of a lighthouse and remove it to find a tunnel. Enter the tunnel and walk 400 meters to the right until you reach the exit.
  • Under the guidance of the Prescripts, Yan made his way to the Pantheon as they instructed and found that taking his title was a straightforward process. The Index Messenger easily took his place God of Resignation as that was his reaction upon discovering the true nature of the Prescripts before his very eyes. In any case, his presence heralded the encroaching influence of the Index as a whole as Prescripts began to pop up around the Pantheon every now and then. Some deities and roaming mortals decided to play along, but when others refused (either due to the ridiculousness or just brushing off the Prescripts themselves), that was when the Proxies came along to punish such inbsubordination. In the past, Yan would hide his growing grief and disgust at having to deliver such things but following his Distortion he soon came to accept them. As he had learned prior, the Prescripts brutality is ultimatley the fault of no one and though they bring pain it does serve as a compass to an aimless existence. And that is enough for him.
  • To .... Purchase the largest stuffed bear at the store nearest to your home. The species does not matter.
  • When Yan fell to the Distortion Phenomenon, he became a mechanical monstrosity known as 얀샋ㄷ요무. No, that was not a mistake, his form is actually named that way. By itself, it doesn't actually mean anything but if entered on an English keyboard it simply spells out Yan or Distorted Yan. The same is true for his other names such as enlxmfflsdis, ,D@;Q7N, and rnfmabjnote . For sanity's sake, this form will simply be called "Distorted Yan". Going back to the Distortion himself, upon entering such as state he sought nothing more than to obey the will of the Prescripts and, by extension, the Will of the City itself. Unique to the Pantheon itself is how Yan can seemingly swap between both his human and Distorted form seemingly at will though no matter the state he remains broken and continues to act in favor of the Prescripts. While his human form is by all accounts no slouch to anyone seeking to shoot the messenger, it's generally accepted that Distorted Yan is the more dangerous of the two. Distortions themselves have demonstrated strange, almost magic-like powers and Distorted Yan is no different. And that's setting aside the giant hands that can crush human beings to mushy paste.
  • To .... Go to a roundabout in the Hall of Non-Vehicular Travel and walk 10 laps.
  • As Yan would find out the Prescripts may seem nonsensical, but the demands inscribed on them are not at all random. Underneath its seemingly pointless cruelty, the Prescripts are seemingly omniscient which is perhaps owed to its nature as a sort of Tulpa created by the City folk, and its commands are said to benefit the Index in the long run. One could say that trying to cut his strings Yan still found himself to but their proxy he ultimately lost against fate itself. Others in the Pantheon have went against such oppressive flows though unlike him they've come out to be more successful in their battles. The Defiers of Fate were saddled with the fates of becoming I'Cie and opted to take a third option and forge their own destinies. Luke fon Fabre and fought against the Score which dictated the fates of everyone living within his world. He himself was exempt from it due to being a Replica. Shulk, meanwhile, can glipse into the future after taking hold of the Monado granting him the ability to avoid it. And Seto Kaiba outright does not believe in fate or destiny at all. Despite this, he holds no malice towards them as his last moments of lucidity were that someone could have better luck fighting such a thing. Seeing them bear fruit from their labor is... moving. On the otherside of the coin they are all disgusted by the Index while many of them do pity Yan's situation they also can't stand for the Syndicate enforcing the Prescripts' will either which has led to them fighting their agents, Yan included.
  • To .... Gather a bouquet of spider lillies and propose to the 3rd teal-haired person you come across.
  • Enrico Pucci is all too familiar with fate being a cruel mistress and has experienced his fair of tragedy thanks to it. With help from his closest ally DIO, Pucci came to the conclusion that for people to be happy, rather than try and fight it, they must know about the fate lies ahead of them in full. To do that, he must attain Heaven. Pucci believes there's enough of an overlap between his ideals and the Index to work together and has reached out to Yan, their representative in the Pantheon. Due to the fickle and shambolic nature of the Prescripts, however, he's also made sure to keep his distance. In any case, he's keen on using the Syndicate to his advantage against his enemies.
  • To .... Make 4 paper stars. On the next day after receiving the Prescript, deliver them to an editor and a mechanic in the House of Profession.
  • He is sometimes seen moving through the House of Prophecy. Though this has worried several passerby so far the Prescripts handed to some of the residing gods have been "tame" in the sense they're relatively straightforward and aren't as gruesome. It is theorized that somewhere underground there exists a bunker that produces the Pantheon's Prescripts. Some rumors have even gone to say it's but one of many.
  • To .... For 2 days, do not use your left hand.
  • Both Stanley and ICEY were all too familiar with a narrator railroading them into the story they wanted to tell. While its not quite fate, their agency being put into question is quite like Yan's in the end. Neither of them are quite fond of the Prescripts for this very reason and the latter has also been keen on watching out for the Prescripts.
  • To .... At night, go to a lake where moonlight is reflected and drink at least 1 once of water direclty from it.
  • Brutal as the Index is in executing Prescripts, they're otherwise generally reasonable as there are various laws set by the Syndicate that forbids pointless violence and Yan himself is not exempt from this even after he was broken into becoming a Distortion. They only seek to carry out Prescripts as they come. Of course, other crime organizations view Yan with caution, especially so as the Index quickly made a name for themselves in the House of Crime and Transgressions. One of Yan's false Prescripts forced the Proxies to declare war on the Thumb, a rival Finger and mafia-like Syndicate, and it ended with the remaining personnel in the L Corp's Nest being dismembered and skewered on pikes. Diavolo regards the Index as rivals, while the DiMeo Crime Family and Bucciarati's Gang as utterly insane and the latter has worked to oppose the cruelty of the Prescripts.
  • To .... Find a person named Dakota and talk with them. Two days after talking with them, sneak into their house and put fire ants on their bed.
  • A peaceful, nature loving cult known as the Hårga, having encountered Distorted Yan more often than not, view him as a monster and done all sorts of things to drive him away though Yan himself has not acted against them beyond observing at a distance. Yan himself doesn't have any opinion on the Hårga, not even disgust as groups like them exist just about anywhere in the City. As one Proxy claims, everyone within the City is fundamentally the same and it's only the methodology that divides them. Overall, while the Hårga are suspicious the turht is violence between them hardly, if at all, occurs. The same cannot be said for Los Illuminados as conflict between them happen much more often. Yan himself has delivered Prescripts that ordered acts of violence against the Apocalypse Cult and even has personally killed some of them himself under those orders.
  • To .... Shove the hand of the 5th person who mugged you onto a tablesaw. If the person has a blue butterfly hairclip in their possession, do the same with their other hand.
  • Winston and Julia met Yan one day when he suddenly appeared for the purpose of delivering paper stars to each of them while they were at work in the House of Profession as part of a Prescript before swiftly departing. The two were left confused but after looking into the stranger they were left horrified by Yan's situation having lived under Oceania's totalitarian rule. As if living under the Head and the Wings wasn't bad enough, the state of the Backstreets is appalling with all the Fixers and Syndicates running around. The two were also left saddened after hearing of Yan's own attempts at rebellion before being left utterly broken that he willingly serves the Prescripts instead.
  • To .... Grind the bodies of the 57th, 58th, 59th, 60th, and 61st people you meet today into mush and form their remains into slabs (must be done neatly).
  • O'Brien finds a criminal organization that can match the authorities of the world he hails from to be concerned and has tried to work towards eliminating the Index. Key word being tried as while O'Brien is a rightfully-feared agent and doesn't believe in the Prescripts to be anything more than nonsense, phasing the Finger and its agents proved to be difficult. Distorted Yan at one point compressed several Thought Police, who were sent to intercept him and confiscate his Prescripts, into neatly-folded slabs before disappearing. That's also not getting into the problem how to psychologically phase someone like Yan, though O'Brien is confident in finding a way to instill the ideals of Big Brother onto him.
"I’m just a tiny part of the world, I can never change the wishes of all people... There’s no way I can defy this flow. What I did was part of the City... The will of the City. Forging Prescripts out of spite and delivering them could be traced to the City’s volition, not my free will. But that equates to my volition in the end. The City and I... and every person in the City were one and the same."

All my fault, you say...? What fault? I daresay it's all thanks to me.
