Trope Pantheons Discussion

Moebius also wants to Mind Control the world.

This guy sounds like Embryo, aka guy who wears drip.

Obligatory joke on guy wearing blue vest and blinding black bangs here

Is it me or does Yamato feel like a stereotype among the immortal villain clique. He might be interested in Vandal Savage who's a supervillain immortal that uses his descendants to help sustain his immortality (he has a lot, but he's more interested in having his fun. Being Japanese Yamato might consider working with a guy who was probably Genghis Khan (and definitely was in one universe) but at most someone like him would find it mildly bemusing

SCP-001 (Dr Clef's Proposal), Divine Guardian Of The Garden of Eden (The Gate Guardian, Jophiel, (not?) Archangel Uriel, maybe Dr Alto Clef)

• Complicated relationship with: The SCP Foundation, Dr Clef

• The SCP-001 article is perhaps the SCP Foundation's highest-guarded secret; scrolling down the 001 page without proper clearance will result in a memetic kill agent being used. Dozens of possible 001 articles are proposed, supposedly to hide the real article. Maybe none of them are true, maybe multiple are true, maybe they all are. One of the most well-known of these is Dr Clef's proposal: the Gate Guardian. A 700 cubit-tall flaming angel with between 2 and 108 wings that is ever-vigilant and guarding the gate for a garden located in the intersection of the Tigris and Euphrates river. Context clues^note Biblical units, a Flaming Sword, the garden's two trees strongly imply that the Gate Guardian the fiery cherub guarding the Garden of Eden. Their(her?) name is almost certainly Jophiel.
• The O5 Council were utterly outraged that any 001 proposal has gone public in the Trope Pantheon, however they've been unable to undo the Gate Guardian's ascension. Fortunately for them the Court of the Gods is unable to determine if the fiery cherub is actually the real SCP-001, and were smart enough to build the temple for the Gate Guardian around where it already is while only letting those in the Trope Pantheon know of their existence. The Gate Guardian remains affixed to their spot, but was able to be more talkative to the pantheon in order to acquire support. There are some notes on Dr Clef that his "casting humanity out of Eden" means they are one in the same. However it's important to remember there is no canon and Dr Clef is a notorious liar. Even that interpretation could suggest Dr Clef is Adam or the Serpent. They haven't been observed in one place though, but that might just be Clef trying to keep up the lie.
• If its SCP article is to be believed, the Gate Guardian inspired the creation of the SCP Foundation by ordering its founder to "PREPARE". This hasn't stopped them from testing weapons and durability on the Gate Guardian though since while benevolent, its still a flaming angel that can incinerate anyone within a 1 kilometer radius. The Men in Black have been aiding in keeping what's probably Angel Jophiel under the wraps, which the fiery cherub is more tolerant of because they don't shoot at it. Usually they'll just order "FORGET" to anyone who gets close to the death radius so they're ordered to leave and forget what happened. The Purple Man once made the boneheaded move to command it with his Compelling Voice. This did absolutely nothing and he widely heeded the command to "LEAVE", but is still super bitter about the whole experience. Maxwell Lord tried to do one better and command the Gate Guardian. Predictably his head exploded and he respawned curled up in the fetal position, crying.
• Instead of going to other temples, the Gate Guardian has people come in a close but safe enough distance to their temple. If the Gate Guardian ever leaves the entrance to the Garden Of Eden it's brown trousers time as a message from [DATA EXPUNGED] years into the future shows it will happen just before an XK-Class end of the world scenario. It is theorized that if this happens in the Trope Pantheon the GUAD are about to have a major victory. As a heavenly figure presumably sent down by God the Gate Guardian holds contempt for the organization since they'd end the world too soon and permanently. Surtr and Apophis have come to believe they can "force" the issue by slaying or at least removing the possible SCP-001 from its spot. The angel responded with THERE IS NO MERCY FOR YOU, ONLY THE LAKE OF FIRE.
• It's unknown if the Gate Guardian lets other angelic beings into the Garden of Eden, but they've been recorded as a lot more chatty around them. While the Castlevania version of Satan isn't welcome, most in the Hall of Angels have a cordial relationship with the fiery cherub. Among those they consider friends is Whis, as they have a mutual respect of their strong work ethic. While even the Gate Guardian admits the Universe 7 angel could probably No-Sell them, Whis chooses not to as it'd be very unbecoming of him. Assuming they aren't the dickish kind versions of the Judeo-Christian God are permitted full access to the Garden of Eden even if they aren't the same God the Gate Guardian takes orders under. The Alpha and Omega has been recorded giving them a pep talk to help with their work environment.
• Given the Biblical connotations with the Gate Guardian followers of any of the Abrahamic faiths are fascinated by it and much to the SCP Foundation's chagrin the Dr Clef's proposal for SCP-001 hasn't been ordering them away so long as they keep a good distance away from it. Fortunately they're able to prevent the information from leaking out to non-pantheonic beings through either amnestics or claiming the pictures are photoshopped/some big hoax. Rene Belloq has helped the Foundation with the cover story since he's still traumatized over his last experience with holy phenomena and wants there to be as little press coverage for "Jophiel" as possible. Opposing his effort was Cheems of all people, since he respects the Gate Guardian for having the power of the godly "bonk". Doge doesn't understand where he's coming from and has bemoaned Cheems attempted to convince the SCP to use their sword against any horny being within their eyesight.
• The Gate Guardian isn't just friendly with those from Abrahamic religion. Despite the rivalry between the Ancient Egyptians and Israelites, they like to chat with the sun god Ra as they see one another as luminous protectors of humanity, even if the angel isn't as pro-active. Ra still isn't allowed in the Garden, but he understands as the angel has a job to do. Sometimes Jophiel(or is it Uriel?) is invited for small-talk. The Gate Guardian's time observing the Hall of Light and Brightness has led them to curse out the Light of Destruction as "BALEFUL RADIATION!" and warn Necrozma to never eye their luminance greedily. The latter wisely heeded the angel's words. The Hall of Darkness and Shadow has taken notes not to incur the possible SCP-001's wrath as well, however Chernabog continues to resent their holiness and light. Plus he's salty at being stuck in a mountain against his will, while the Gate Guardian stays where they are willingly.
• Keel Lorenz has expressed interest in entering the Garden of Eden as part of his Instrumentality project, and belief that the Trees of Knowledge and Life will suit his purposes. The Angels have shown interest in what's there, and they don't take no for an answer. The hot as the sun blade of the Gate Guardian cut through their AT Field like butter, and they gave the head of SEELE the order "LEAVE. NOW" They weren't the only deities who lusted after the potential for power the Garden of Eden offers; Father desired ascension to godhood there. Whether or not the garden would benefit him, just like SEELE and the Angels, has remained unanswered with the order of "BEGONE, SERPENT IN THE FLASK", but it's not like the homunculus won't try again. Truth has been supporting Jophiel(or is it Uriel) in keeping forbidden fruit from greedy idiots since then.
• It is theorized that the Saint of Killers could shoot the Gate Guardian dead, though its far more likely the angel would strike at the bullets and disintegrate them before they could reach it. Despite his history with holy figures the Saint doesn't have any intention of testing that theory since its not like the Gate Guardian is a dick who messes with people. Spawn, who's dealt with jackasses both holy and unholy, has to respect how the fiery cherub is a responsible being who seems to value humanity. How Clef's SCP-001 proposal feels about them has yet to be seen, but they do hold a positive opinion on the Spectre. The Spectre has asked if he could help out the entity, but they've only asked for YHVH to stop bothering them with a job application. They felt the same for Lucifer's job application.
• The SCP Foundation tried to hire Lobo to bypass the 1 kilometer death range because of his Healing Factor and the fact that being Barred from the Afterlife means he cannot possibly be destroyed. His response was "FRAG NO!" because dealing with the Gate Guardian would hurt like a bastitch. This isn't all too surprising since even SCP-076-2 refuses to approach the angel. No other version of Cain or Abel wants to be anywhere near the angel that cast their parents out of Eden, and the future message suggests 076-2 and 073 are only getting in when the apocalypse is on the horizon. Later on, almost certainly as a joke, they sent Leeroy Jenkins who's stubborn stupidity had him eager to raid the Garden of Eden...and he immediately was incinerated after being Chaotic Stupid enough to ignore the Gate Guardian's warning. Because Death Is Cheap he respawned and tried again, to the angel's immense frustration.
• Dr Clef's proposal for SCP-001 was inevitably used as a means of terminating SCP-682. Unlike almost everything 682 lived, albeit incredibly wounded. The Hard-To-Kill Reptile claimed that the Gate Guardian was not Uriel and insinuated they were an imposter, and "Uriel" told them to REMOVE 682. Dialogue from the two imply that SCP-682 was the Serpent who tempted Adam and Eve into eating the fruit. As this is 682 we're talking about, he's probably lying. The Gate Guardian has been shown as possessing next to no mercy for gods who identify as Satan, especially the one from Paradise Lost who was the Serpent. For similar reasons they'll deal swiftly with Crowley if he comes close. Melkor can also expect being immediately struck down given his seemingly endless list of sins, with the "destroying the Two Lamps that were replaced by the Sun and the Moon" being the first sin the they bring up.
• Thief actually managed to steal from the Garden of Eden without bursting into flames...for all of ten seconds. The Gate Guardian immediately sprinted to incinerate him with [REDACTED] degrees Kelvin that would've ended him had he not prepared blackmail on multiple Deaths. Since he hasn't tried it again it's safe to say he learned his lesson. Ungoliant and Hexxus certainly didn't learn from this and tried to work together; the latter wanted to ruin the Garden of Eden to make a supreme parking lot and the former wanted to feed off the glorious luminance. The SCP Foundation immediately interfered and with the help of the Valar the attempt failed; there's a small chance the spider might be able to leech off the Gate Guardian and they do not want to take any chances.
• Though it is generally believed that Overdeities and some literal gods could take out the Gate Guardian, the SCP Foundation is extremely hesitant in letting that happen. Their weapon-based experiments on the anomaly were used to test its effective kill range; they do not want to take it out as while they aren't co-operative per-say, the Gate Guardian is still an important figure they're better off keeping alive. They've advised any and all vampires and those in the Hall of Vampires to stay the hell away for their own safety, given how intensely luminous what may be SCP-001 is.
• The Gate Guardian has been a strong deterrent against the likes of Zs'skayr who reacted with mortal terror at its name. Cronus has also shown fear given in the timeline of SCP-1730 it tasseled with SCP-2845, a deer god who's attributes^note association with metallic hydrogen found in Saturn, certain rituals in containing it and ring system make it similar in nature to the Titan. In spite of the dread the Gate Guardian has brought, Takuto Maruki has an interest in it due to his past association with the Garden of Eden; a version of the place served as the last leg of his Palace. However he's a different man now, and he's smart enough to keep a healthy distance from what might be the SCP-001.

• Feared by: Grimm
• SCP-076, "Able", is actually two different anomalies. SCP-076-1 is an indestructible sarcophagus that serves as a Respawn Point for whenever SCP-076-2, the human-looking entity known as Able, is killed. Able is an inhumanly skilled warrior who can summon weapons out of Hammerspace and holds a grab bag of superpowers like super-strength, speed and an extreme pain threshold. If someone manages to kill him, his corpse will turn to dust and he will eventually be reborn in SCP-076-1. A Keter-class anomaly, SCP-076-1 is contained underwater and the whole area is to be flooded with seawater as a last resort. Unlike a lot of anomalies they tend to just refer to Able by his name and not SCP designation. Numbers are used as a means of not getting too close to the anomaly, but since nobody gets along with Able that's not an issue.
• Psychological testing reveals his mind is completely empty outside of the desire to murder, and he's exceedingly skilled at doing so. Knowing his default to people is "kill in rage" Kenny, who believed that as an immortal he could kill the fellow immortal Able. After respawning himself it was pretty clear what the real reason why he wanted to face off against Able was. As much as the Foundation and Able don't get along, they advise their researchers not to nickname Able "Kenny". Despite this violence he can respect those who can give him a good challenge and according to some tales he has a fondness for his pet pigs; true animal lovers like Steve Irwin are saved for last. while animal abusers like Rusty were killed first. To a certain degree he's shown a soft spot for Dex-Starr, as he seems to understand its rage.
• The closest to a Pet the Dog moment Able has gotten towards humanity is lamenting the loss of an agent who matched him in combat being gunned down by an airstrike; he believes he deserved a more glorious death. He has no respect for gods like Infinite who talk a tough game, but are nothing but trash-talking bullies with no capacity for respect. The Ultimate Mercenary tried to make him eat his words, but was unprepared for the fearlessness, ability to summon weapons and refusal to give up even after grievous injuries from Able. He didn't even bother to finish the jackal off, but let him to stew in his defeat as stewing in his own self-loathing was a crueler fate than death. Able has also expressed no interest to drink something mixed with SCP-447-2 after learning what it does to dead bodies.
• While not completely lacking in positive qualities, thinking you can reason with Able is suicide. The Foundation attempted to weaponize him in the past, however whenever he finished getting rid of some dangerous anomaly or just got bored he started killing him teammates. The only group that came close to reason with Able was the Hounds of War, and only because he wants to be there for obvious reasons. Khorne considers Able to be the perfect warrior, and the Foundation were completely unsurprised to learn he's why the anomaly broke out in the first place. He and Acnologia love fighting and killing together and he and Mephisto found a little bit of camaraderie in their shared hatred of almost everything.
• There have been a few of times people tried to control him the pantheon, and they've all met with failure. Atrocitus was wise enough to give up before he could incur the warrior's wrath, despite being tantalized by how he'd otherwise be a perfect candidate for the Red Lantern Corps.
  • The Psycho-Pirate attempted to control Able's emotions and give him some sanity by making him happy, which gave Able peace all of five minutes before the strain of controlling him caused Psycho-Pirate to be knocked out. The happiness immediately made way to murderous rage unusual even for him due to both being used and the Moment of Lucidity being lost.
  • One could be forgiven for thinking he and Nekron would get along given his default reaction to other people, however Nekron simply tried to use him by turning him into a Black Lantern. The Lord of the Unliving failed to get an emotional tether strong enough for a black ring, but he was able to weaponize previous 076-2 bodies despite being ash. They lack the original's access to a Hyperspace Arsenal and stay put if successfully destroyed.
  • His hatred for those who try to use him has grown when Lelouch attempted to neutralize him by issuing the Geass "never harm another living soul!", which to everyone's surprise worked. Sadly Able is not stupid and realized the command didn't include himself so he impaled himself to respawn. The respawned SCP-076-2 was now free of the Geass and immune to the second attempt.
• Despite the disaster in trying to get him to work for them, some reports like Pandora's Box task force suggest he may have a soft spot for the far more benevolent SCP-105. In reality, this is more an inexplicable attempt to ship the two as Iris Thompson just happened to be the one member he decided not to kill. She actually gets along with his brother Cain and was traumatized by her, plus she can't imagine why people ship Able with anyone given his attitude towards sex and love. Pretty much the only humans Able likes, much as he's capable of liking anyone, are Rau Le Creuset and the Fate series' Avenger Servant; he can relate to their misanthropy and the latter's Dark and Troubled Past struck a chord with his own.
• According to Lord Blackwood, Able and SCP-682 were running rampant in Mongolia during 1883. Able mentions another conflict between him and the lizard as the best damn battle he's had in centuries, which doesn't surprise them. What does surprise them is Theodore Roosevelt verifying Blackwood's tale of the two and Mr.Harris dealing with their chaos, since Blackwood is a sea slug. Of course, this might just be an undocumented effect of his pince-nez. T.R has expressed interest in aiding with Able's containment, and Able has admitted he wants to put his legendary reputation to the test. SCP-076-2 later stated he wants to test himself against Guts, Asura, Vegeta and even the Doomslayer for the fun of it. While Vegeta is all for it, Guts and Asura aren't as interested as they see Able as what they'd become if completely blinded by rage.
• Were it not for pantheon rules regarding mortality^note another reason the Foundation is slapping themselves with his ascension, it is believed the ability to destroy the soul of SCP-076-2 would neutralize SCP-076-1. Ammit attempted to do just that but Able wrestled her into submission, punched her snout and led her to run away crying. Marceline tried to absorb his soul but retreated immediately after Able summoned a UV light generator to burn her. Grimm got it the worst when he tried to permanently decapitate him with his scythe only to get knocked around and humiliated while Able stole his scythe. The Regular Show Death bargained his soul for the stack of Chicago deep dish he has in the fridge. Able exploited his ego in an arm wrestling contest by saying he'd only use his thumb. The end result was a crestfallen Death with a broken arm and Able enjoying "the best damn pizza since Little Caesar's.
  • None of them had as much success of the Ghost Rider, who was the darkhorse in the overall brawl. The Penance Stare instantly turned SCP-076-2 to burning ash and it took a full month for him to respawn from SCP-076-1. While physical trauma means nothing to him, the immense pain of his sins had him curled in the fetal position. He managed to snap out of it and has sworn not to fall for the same trick again, especially since the Foundation have been given ideas on what can serve as a serious deterrent.
• While the SCP Foundation advises people to not think he's a 1:1 translation, even they can't deny that Able is their equivalent to the Biblical figure as SCP-073 is the SCP's answer to Cain. This utterly perplexes Ned Flanders since Cain and Abel are nothing like he thought, and considers the latter to be a major Broken Pedestal. Moses and Noah agree with Ned, but instead of protesting things they observe from afar to figure out just what went wrong and if Able can be salvaged. It's not known what Able thinks of any iteration of the God of Abraham, but when YHVH was described to him he unleashed a tirade of Sumerian curse words over how he feels about Him.
• The Love That Moves The Stars pities how Able is utterly consumed by the sin of wrath over his brother's sin of murder. Alucard considers this condescending as he sees Able as "a monster of God, though one I'd accept as a warrior". Alexander Anderson instead regards the SCP as "an abomination". Theologians theorize this is because Cain has had all of human history to make up for his fratricide while Able is consumed by retribution for his first death. The actual Abel was dumbstruck at 076-2, as was a reincarnation^note Kazuya, Abel's reincarnation. Able remains silent on how he feels about his counterparts, and the OG Abel have dubbed him "my effigy enslaved to vengeance".
• Even the SCP Foundation doesn't fault Able for hating SCP-073, though given his normal reaction to ordinary humans they know introducing him to ANY version of Cain is a very bad idea. Almost as bad is the idea of introducing him to Victor Zsasz since the nihilistic Serial Killer might be one of the few humans Able gets along with. Unfortunately that still happened. According to reports by Batman, he believes Zsasz' view that people were walking zombies was close enough to Able's murder-focused mind for them to find a connection. Though Batman initially was able to go on the defensive with Able he soon proved his genius at weaponry by catching Batarangs and constructing weapons to destroy the Batmobile. Bruce was lucky Lobo showed up due to a contract the GOC put on Able. The two men engaged in "rip-fraggin fun!" until the Foundation managed to secure 076-2 again.
• There's two theories on why he became what he is now. One shows Adam a mighty king of the Children of the Sun, and he made a star into the powerful Crown of Apollyon. The brothers overthrew their father in their coveting of the crown, and Adam would secure his rulership by cursing them both into eventually becoming what they are today. Vandal Savage sees much potential in this past as a warrior and sees a lucid Able as a great rival, but Sauron suspects he'd covet his One Ring. Only the latter truly invokes Able's wrath, as if he isn't a version of Cain he certainly carries himself in that way. Another has Able once defend his people from the Daevites, only to be corrupted by them even if he destroyed them from the inside. The Emperor of Mankind regards Able as the kind of person he may have become had he let himself fall to chaos and away from being humanity's champion. This past is why the Pillar Men consider him quite impressive for a human, and a rival for their acquisition of power. The SCP Foundation have made it their mission to never allow Able to obtain the Red Stone of Aja out of fear he will learn how to use its power on himself.
• As a whole Able is considered a deconstruction of the classic "epic heroes"; he's a badass warrior who nowadays would be seen as a violent asshole. He's compared to the Fate incarnation of Gilgamesh, but with wrath motivating him rather than ego. They have absolute contempt for most humans but a certain kind of respect for those who strive to reach his level, manifest swords out of thin air through a "hole in space" and Able has Sumerian connections. These comparisons are less blatant nowadays, but Gil hasn't forgotten about them and the two are major rivals. Able really likes his book too and they hold a mutual respect for one another. Wiz and Boomstick are looking to set up a DEATH BATTLE!, which the SCP Foundation has vocally opposed and made it clear if Able wins he'll go after them.
• Despite his descent into madness, there's a relatively mundane tale of how the rage can finally depart from SCP-076-2. That being he and 073 finally have a heart to heart conversation and forgive each other, finally allowing the two of them to die. Though the House of Family and Relatives consider this a nice and Bittersweet Ending, the SCP Foundation still won't let 073 and 076-2 interact out of fear it could go differently. They don't even want to talk about another scenario where Able found redemption, even if it's motivated by spite towards them: a timeline where the Foundation itself turned on mankind and Able helped defend a sancturary from them. Because in that timeline they discovered so horrible lurking in the collective unconsciousness^note as in, the thing that makes SCP-682 disgusted of us they felt destroying mankind was the preferable alternative.
• An agreement was made that the Butcher is never allowed to come in contact or even know about SCP-076-2, as among other things they don't know how something born from the first murder would react to Able. On a much lighter note also advised not to let Able into the House of Sports as he's a bonafide Blood Knight even playing dodgeball. This doesn't stop him from breaking in after taking a break from mass murder anyway. Fortunately Galacta Knight had broken out there to serve as someone fully willing to throw hands with the Biblical warrior, and 076-2 concluded it was "the best fight since the lizard". Being sealed warriors who break out to fight anyone in their vicinity, their relationship is an undeniable Friendly Rivalry. The Thraddash were salivating with excitement at all this and keep trying to recruit Able as a leader due to their Spartan beliefs, even^note perhaps especially towards those who own them. As much as he appreciates this the SCP couldn't care about leading them and mainly sees them as useful in finangling the Foundation's attempt to contain him.

for both.

• 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).
  • And then he's heard of rumors that Amy Rose might have psychic potential as well, given her precognition via Tarot cards, a tendency to be at the right place at the right time, summoning her hammer out of nowhere like an astral projection, and telepathy is potentially starting to wake up.
• 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. That said, given it's been a greatly feared entity for so long, Raz isn't that interested in honing his (potential) powers over water anytime soon.
• 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). Thanks to the trip, Raz realizes that the ex-therapist hadn't been entirely himself when he enacted his plan because of Yaldabaoth psychically corrupting him and his Persona (back when he had one).
    • 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.

• Opposes: Yui Ikari
• Opposed by: Tatsu Yamashiro/Katana
• Respects: Draco Malfoy
• Respected by: Goro Majima
• Conflicting Opinion: Albus Dumbledore
• Teachers are supposed to help their students be prepared for the real world after graduation. Some of them take the extra mile and help their students with all sorts of social issues. No degree of psychology actually required, that's what defines a Psychologist Teacher.
• Kumiko Yamaguchi, fresh out of university, applied for a job as a teacher in Shirokin High School, an all-boys school renowned for being full of delinquents. She was put in charge of the worst class in the school — class 2-D, but despite their rowdiness, she was more than equipped enough to handle any trouble a bunch of snot-nosed kids can cause, given that she's an heriess to a Yakuza clan^note While her mother actually left the clan and married a straight salaryman, they died in a car crash, and Kumiko was sent to the Kuroda clan because they were the closest available relatives, which she keeps secret (though she and the whole clan weren't that good at keeping secrets) due to schools being intolerant of gangs and people of dangerous backgrounds though the principal turns out to have hired her specifically due to her background, and the entire school eventually finds out near the end, but preferred to keep her either way. Throughout the rest of the series, Kumiko wins over her originally mistrustful students and improves their lives for the better, both through talking things out with them and a helpful dose of the Yakuza code.
• Kumiko's reason for being a teacher is because of back when her younger adopted siblings were allowed to graduate as long as they don't attend the graduation ceremony. After realizing that schools have been forgetting the real value of students and throwing out those who don't abide by the group rule, she decided she would help those impoverished students.
• It was the end of another day at Shirokin teaching delinquents when she arrives home, only to see a mysterious person with a letter of recommendation to a place called Elysium Academy. They told her to read it in private before she makes any decisions. One private read later, she found the offer acceptable and eventually earned a spot in the Pantheon.
• Just to get things out of the way, her Yakuza background is now made known from the start, given how poorly she and her clan are at keeping secrets, even if she might try to pass it off as being a fan of Yakuza media. And because the students for the most part are far smarter than Shirokin's (not that that's hard), and some of the idiots might not even notice any facade she might try to pull off, it would be disrespectful to assume they're fools. That said, they're not that ciritcal of her background, or at least it's not grounds for beings fired.
• Thanks to her background and experience with delinquents, she has no problem disciplining them when they get too rampant. She's heard that The Tōhōshinki and Tatsumi Oga are from schools filled with them, just like Shirokin High. Thankfully, they've progressively mellowed out. There's also the case of Kenji Kazama, though given the zaniness of the rest of his school, he at least has an excuse for shouting indoors so many times, and he's still a decent student otherwise.
• As a teacher who helps with her students' issues, she's gotten along with others who do the same, such as Eikichi Onizuka, Charles Xavier, Gentaro Kisaragi (who himself was a delinquent in his school days, though it's more from much of the elitism of the alumni than anything), and Byleth Eisner (though the whole could-be-either-gender thing was weird).
  • As for Albus Dumbledore however, especially in light of his big plans for Harry and others throughout his years and his past with Grindelward, she's a bit more conflicted in her opinions of him.
  • Koro-sensei is another teacher that has helped his students both academically and personally, and gets along wth him despite his reputation for being an alien and being pervy, not to mention teaching how to assassinate.
• Having heard of him through other psycologists, and seeing how badly he looks in Elysium Academy classes, Kumiko has a special interest in helping Shinji Ikari and his fellow EVA pilots. Naturally, because of his mistreatment of the boy, she opposes Gendo Ikari, and she doesn't think too highly of Yui Ikari either for her part in manipulating the boy as well.
• And of course, there are the nasty teachers, such as Trunchbull (and they get into fights more than once since Agatha has a hatred for twintails, which is how Kumiko wears her hair as a teacher), and Fletcher (for his abusive methods, even if they bear exceptional fruit when it works).
• As a Yakuza heiress, she can get antsy when it comes to law enforcement. But given her reputation in the mortal realm, she's at a truce with most of them. Of course, there are still the occasional zealot who care not for her non-evil stance, such as Inspector Javert and his allies, who try to arrest her on sight whenever they get the chance.
  • On the other hand, she's had a better encounter with fellow Yakuza deity Kazuma Kiryu after undertaking a rescue mission for one of her students. The Dragon of Dojima had been in the area, and made swift work of the fools that dared get into their crosshairs. They became fast friends after that, him sensing her good heart. Her association with Kiryu naturally drew attention from Goro Majima, who has a soft spot for women and kids, and respects her tenacity and her care for students, though he has warned her to stay off the bigger conflicts, as the Kuroda clan doesn't exactly have enough influence in the Pantheon.
  • And then there was Tatsu Yamashiro/Katana, who has a vendetta against ALL people in the Yakuza due to having lost her family to them. After hearing about her from Kiryu, who had fended off the vigilante with difficulty one time they crossed paths, Kumiko knew that reasoning with Katana was most definitely out of the question for the time being.
• There was a short time where she used to moonlight as a vigilante called Mr. X, but has since ceased that activity, prefering to instead help as either a teacher or as a Yakuza heiress. So there's no chance she's going to be confused for another Mr. X (or his daughter Miss Y) anytime soon.
• When it comes to beating up threats to her students, she's even taken out a demon once. And with so many other supernatural stuff in the Pantheon, there are dangers aplenty of all kinds, so she'll have to pick her battles.
• With all the jumping and kicking she does, she prefers to not wear skirts due to running the risk of doing a Panty Shot, though she will if she has to. Someone suggested she get some Modesty Shorts for such situations.
• Got entangled with some of the Phantom Thieves of Hearts after seeing Ryuji, Makoto, and Haru going up against a tough-ish monster and giving them the initiative via a Dynamic Entry flying kick. Once the threat was subdued and taken away, she was formally introduced to the group and what they did, and she turned out to be fully supportive of their cause. After hearing of their backstory, she stated that things would've been very different had she been at Shujin High. On the other hand, given her background, it's unlikely she would've been applicable as a teacher there anyway due to Kobayakawa not wanting someone in the yakuza as a teacher, even if he's part of the same conspiracy that had Kaneshiro in its payroll. Her encounter with Zenkichi however did start a bit tense at first, though they got along anyway after finding they were both dedicated to the well-being of the kids under their watch.
• Dislikes restrictive parents who think they can do whatever they please to their children, given Shin suffered that treatment under his father (before they and Kumiko eventually came to an understanding).
• Opposes children who abuse the power of their parents' influence (particularly authority over use of gangs) to do whatever they please, as well as parents who don't rein them in. Kumiko used to be bullied due to her background, but she never used her clan's name or asked them for help, because she believes it won't foster respect and loyalty.
  • She holds great disdain for Lucius Malfoy because of this, while respecting his son Draco for moving away from that line of thinking.
• Is enemies with the Death Busters, as they are aliens who used a School for Scheming (founded by their Mad Scientist, Professor Souichi Tomoe/Germatoid) as a front while they worked to summon their boss Pharaoh 90 and awaken Mistress Nine. On top of their omnicidal ambitions, she isn't happy that said school is in the Pantheon as their temple.

Yamato: King Ghidorah and the Senran Kagura Orochi are the Orochi itself, so they might not take kindly to this imposter. The SNK gods and Nate Adams have also fought the Orochi at some point.

for Kumiko

@m1gami: I can see it, tough he's definitely less focused on the ladies.

@RJ: Well, his main character traits are being very afraid of death and being a bastard, so it's definitely a fair assessment. Also, Vandal isn't in the page you linked.

Embryo also made a bajillion clones of himself and proclaimed himself as God.

Doing Lucifer now and head up: changing the dynamic of the GUAC leadership dynamic in the profile. I found it really weird that Lucifer would limit his commanding officers list when he's about "freedom". Also, I would prefer a traditional Seven Deadly Sins motif for them rather than the weird Seven Deadly Sins 70% I am sure is made up. So, the dynamic would change in that Lucifer is hands off on his own alliance, everyone runs a section of it and basically is a split organization with a democracy between its leads. That way, it still fits his character and also opens competition between the ranks.

I think I just basically described the dynamic of the USA with its states.

Vandal Savage has been removed a while ago.

I’d say we keep the “extra” sins (melancholy, vanity, and sin) but find members to represent the remaining core seven.

@Alecoene, continuing to what General Gigan said, it's Kyo Kusanagi and Iori Yagami who specifically dealt with the Orochi. Also The Divine Powers were removed from Pantheon a while back. In addition, because of how Yamato Takeru killed all the other gods of Japan, he's more than likely to be enemies with Izanami, Amaterasu, Yato and characters that have their own special relationship with said gods, like Ragna the Bloodedge (The new Amaterasu), Noel Vermillion (The (sort of) previous Amaterasu), Jin Kisaragi (The brother of Ragna, and the past self of Hakumen^Note Jin honestly wouldn't care about what happend to the Gods, but he would care about Yamato Takeru being enemies with Ragna and Noel), Rachel Alucard (Tsukuyomi Unit), Hakumen (The Susano'o), Yuuki Terumi (The true Susano'o).

I wonder what deities would like the fact he committed deicide on the Japanese pantheon. Also, let's be real, Terumi is just Satan using the Susanoo name because this is a Japanese game and Amaterasu is a machine.

Something tells me certain things were omitted from the Book of Genesis

Gonna be honest, I fail to see your point considering how the other Mythological Characters are written in Pantheon.

Anyways, RJ was approved for his proposal for Apophis by Sailor Venus 372, but my counter suggestion was approved by Alecoene. Any other approvals or disapprovals to settle the decision?

Edit: I lean towards your suggestion

@ Alecoene: Alice was once a bed-ridden princess with a Photographic Memory. Desperate to experience the outside world and all it can offer, she used her memory to burn through all sorts of books to create a book to end all books: The Book of Truth. After becoming one with it, she began consuming people's souls at an alarming rate, transcribing their thoughts and emotions into words on the book's page. Its bottomless gluttony for knowledge overcame virtually anything the world could throw at it, and even the "Biblioclastic rounds" meant to exploit her hunger and entomb her only slowed her down for a while. She does eventually succeed at consuming all of mankind when she consumes Serpent, a lesser copy of the Book of Truth, and all the souls trapped within him. As a sidenote, Alice's true form is quite snake-like herself.

The Nameless God lives in a world where souls can be divided into two types: Saltborn/mortal souls, and Candlelit/divine souls. He is of the former, but strangely has all the power of a god but he still desired a Candlelit soul. Because of this, he was hateful and envious of all other gods and began stealing their followers for himself while he left them to rot away and be forgotten. The purpose of the mysterious island he rules is to lure ignorant dupes into his domain as sacrifices to help gain some semblance of a Candlelit soul's power, but his desire could never truly be satisfied.

The Grineer's ruling matriarchs, the Twin Queens, were once Orokin. The Orokin practiced something called "Continuity" which basically involves taking "the young and exotic" and breaking their wills so old Orokin could take the bodies for themselves. For a long time, the two had to make do with Grineer bodies though the older twin tried to take a Tenno body for herself.

Go ahead with your suggestion

Second posting, other few suggestions left or are they good enough?

The Boss of the 3rd Street Saints, God/dess of Protagonists Without A History (Mikey^note  Pronounced "Mickey"., Playa, That mute motherfucker, StyleTest_PC, Boss, Prisoner 1138, The Butcher of Stilwater, Local Psychopath, Nolan North, President of the United States, The God Emperor for Life of the Universe)

• Theme Song: "Power" by Kanye West
• Demigod during their reign in Stilwater, and Steelport. Lesser God as President and Greater God after acquiring the Zin Empire
• Symbol: A purple fleur-de-lis.
• Alignment: Switches between Lawful, Neutral and Chaotic Evil (Occasionally Chaotic Neutral) as the Boss of the Saints, Chaotic Neutral for most of his life (Chaotic Good especially after becoming the President).
• Portfolio: A random member of the Saints gang who enjoys the role, slowly rises from the ranks of the gang and is feared, respects all loyal members of the Saints no matter what, is not above killing citizens when in the mood, mostly referred to as Playa or Boss, leans into sociopathy for power and fame, respected even by those outside the gang
• Domains: Crime, City, Travel, Gangs, Respect
• Heralds: The unascended 3rd Street Saints (Johnny Gat, Oleg Kirrlov, Kinzie Kensington, Angel de la Muerte, Zimos, Vice-President Keith David, Benjamin King, Matt Miller, Asha Odekar, CID),
• Allies: Shaundi and Pierce Washington, Neil McCauley, the PAYDAY Gang, William Shakespeare (only to the Boss, Shakespeare does not follow the same feelings)
  • Frequent Collaborator: Professor Genki
  • Friendly Rivalry/Alliance with: Carl Johnson, Bucciarati's Gang
  • Business Area: The House of Crime and Transgressions
• Visitor to: The House of Popularity
• Rivals: Tony, Jo, Mario and César, the Cabot Crew, Michael De Santa, Trevor Philips and Franklin Clinton, the Corleones, the DiMeo and Soprano families, The Immortal God-Emperor of Mankind, Sigmar Heldenhammer
• Enemies: Zinyak, the Combine, the Kingpin, Diavolo, all Demon Lords (which includes all Satans, Lucifers and the like)
• In a small neighborhood in the district of Stilwater, four gangs compete for complete domination of the locale. These would be the Los Carnales, Westside Rollerz, Vice Kings and 3rd Street Saints. Things were not looking good for the latter gang as they would be hammered after several conflicts but one day, a regular guy was caught in a firefight between the gang and the Vice Kings. He would have been killed had a Saints member save him from near death by a Vice King gang member and was eventually coerced into recruitment to the Saints, where his reputation slowly grew until becoming a lieutenant for the boss at the time, Julius Little. All was going well and the Saints became the dominant gang, until the leader he was supposed to protect betrayed him fearing a power struggle. Come a few years after being freed from a prison island, the Saints were no more due to Playa' disappearance. With the gang leaderless and new gangs taking over following the power vacuum, he would set out to rebuild the legacy of the Saints, beating the new gangs and the Ultor Corporation. This would succeed and this Playa, or Boss of the 3rd Street Saints, became a household name of the city of Stilwater.
  • After the entire chain of events following Stilwater's dominance to the Saints, they combined forces with a reformed Ultor Corporation and became celebrities, but not before the main leaders got kidnapped by a private organization which lead to them landing in Steelport, another city that would slowly become the Saints' new home. Due to a few connections and earned respect from other organizations and gangs, as well as them slowly adopting ideas besides lawless murder, they climbed the ranks into presidency after a few years. All was fine and dandy, that was until an alien invasion occurred and snatched Boss and the Saints all thanks to the Zin Empire with Earth's subjugation. A few attempts of rescue and encounters with the leader of the empire, the Boss would triumph but not without Earth's destruction. That said, they were not complaining since an entire empire chose to side with the Saints and was defiant to find humanity a new home, eventually reaching God-Emperor of the Universe afterwards.
• The Leader of the Saints has an ever-changing appearance. One day s/he may be male, another female. Some days s/he is dressed in nice clothing, others s/he dresses in the weirdest get-ups you have ever seen. S/he can be anything from a muscular Scary Black Man, to an Asian woman with a gruff Cockney male voice, to morbidly obese with metallic blue skin, to so thin you'll wonder if s/he's anorexic. No one is ever around when his/her appearance changes, nobody knows whether it happens consciously or unconsciously on his/her part, and the Saints all act as if he/she has always looked that way. Taking a picture seems to cause some kind of Glamour Failure and reveals the Boss to be a medium-built Caucasian male with slicked-back black hair, though whether or not this is his/her true form is still in the air. This Glamour also seems to be slightly less effective on those who spend considerable amounts of time in the Boss's presence, as lieutenants and other high-ranking Saints do notice that the Boss does indeed look different, but all seem to arrive at the same conclusion that s/he just changed his/her hairstyle. For the Pantheon, the Caucasian male look is the main look since it was his original look prior to joining the Saints in the beginning.
  • Speaking of the Pantheon, the gang spread word that a stranger was looking for a guy named "Playa" and eventually met their boss. As a handshake was connected between him and the unknown figure, the background glowed white and transported them into a new world. At first, Steelport and Stilwater were still present but the Boss noticed a few differences notably with a few unknown people not belonging to the city and other various deities. Stunned, the handshake they made connected Playa to the Pantheon, with the shadowy figure claiming that his lack of information regarding his past was of a noteworthy endeavor especially considering his achievements. The Boss only had one thing to say:
  Playa: Who cares who I was before I joined the Saints?
• The Saints as a gang values respect, usually earned through various handiwork that they request, loan sharks, prostitution, gang warfare against others and protecting their own teammates, without betrayal of course. The Boss loves all members of the Saints, so long as they remain loyal and could arguably be the Boss' best redeeming value, as while the Saints are the usual gangbanging kind with some organization later on marred with sociopathy out of power and fame, the Boss loves his gang and will avenge anyone who would dare lay a gun on one of his members' head. This allowed the Saints to expand their presence within the Pantheon, both as a gang and an organization with support from a few allies of his. This is symbolized by a purple Fleur-de-Lis seen throughout the gang. He also would like to be called a "puckish rogue" than a sociopath, considering that his support for his crew is what separates him from actual ones.
  • When their gang got installed within Pantheon proper, both Shaundi and Pierce got to work to spread their influence further. Shaundi had the tech expertise, while Pierce... well let's just say he got attention but not in the way that was intended. Other gangs saw this as some form of a hostile takeover and other private corporations took caution hearing the Saints numerous connections of various kinds. When it was done, all three managed to watch the Saints wreck some shit around the Pantheon as they finally placed their positions in pure delight. That is not to say that resistance still exists around them, various deities have made complaints regarding their expansion and they have been on the receiving end to some higher-level deities just to keep their peace. The solution was simple: keep Steelport and Stilwater as the Saints' home base. Question is: how long till the Saints push another expansion?
  • While they were busy establishing his gang into the spotlight, the show known as Professor Genki's Super Ethical Reality Climax was suddenly found within the Pantheon's cable, with the Saints hearing the news just right after Steelport's installation. It took a while but the Saints found Professor Genki, excited with the new possibilities that the Pantheon has bestowed upon him. The addition of the Saints, especially the Boss, excites him as new scenes and episodes featuring him will help improve the show's reputation and merchandise. The Boss shares the same thought but it is more of a business aspect since the Boss has been aiming for popularity rather than resorting to more genocidal means of earning respect. That has not stopped the Boss from doing stupid stuff like provoking Genki at some moments but he has no grudges for them. Unfortunately, if Professor Genki had his godhood established, then that means someone was already ahead of them following their ascension, and their suspicions were confirmed when a Zin starship appeared right before them.
  • Zinyak's reign in the Pantheon has been mixed, likely because the warlord has a reputation for being careless and arrogant in his actions whilst maintaining some form of weird appreciation for alien culture, especially Earth's case. The Boss has not forgotten him in the slightest, with him blowing up Earth the final straw. The alien warlord stated it was meant to break his morale but after his usurpation by the Boss, he has started to reconsider his actions. While Zinyak holds most of the Zin Empire in his hand, a few members of his empire has pledged allegiance to the Boss, although a small number, shows what respect means to the Boss in comparison to brute leadership.
  • It should be noted that Playa has a few forms of his that he uses from time to time. Being the boss of the 3rd Street Saints is one thing, being the President of the United States is another thing entirely. The President persona of his, while retaining a huge stake in the Saints' leadership, does make him a bit too cocky and a large ego stroke. There is also him being the leader of the Zin Empire but Zinyak already beat them to the Pantheon in terms of the empire's leadership. Then there is the God Emperor for Life of the Universe, a title that took the Boss a while to earn after the latter's defeat and earned some rivalry to a few other similar God-Emperors, as well as helping a friend of his in hell. For most of the Pantheon, his regular leadership as the Saints' Playa is his most common role, with the President and God Emperor positions only when things get real tough.
• The House of Crime and Transgressions is where the Saints usually reside, while the Boss gets a special house in the House of Characterization, though his gang have no problems entering, the security is heavily tight. In his trip to that den of lawlessness, he has established the Saints within the criminal underworld, attracting various criminals of many types. Some agreeable, others not so much. While they are welcome, rivalry is heavy amongst criminals, the Saints included since they ended up in the turf of the Corleones, who have a massive grip in the House, understandable since they are the prima donna of Mafia Dons everywhere, giving them large amounts of respect. That said, the Boss could give less of a fuck and still pushed through in terms of business, making the Saints a viable competitor in the Crime space. As a result, the Boss gets contracts to do some heavy work with a few associates.
  • The PAYDAY Gang were among the first to recognize the Saints' presence, seeing that the gang carved a place in the world of crime just like them. So much that the Boss gave them a suit that effectively made them a part of the Saints, VIP status if you will. They had it easy, the Saints had theirs harder and achieved bigger victories, thus a mutual respect was given to each other. In addition, their introduction to the gang made them a part of the world of heisting, where the Boss and company were judged as viable for heists, well if you do not count that one fuckup they made. Neil McCauley, seasoned veteran, was willing to let the Saints have a share, if they are willing to participate properly. The rest of the other heisters however do see the Boss as a liability, the Cabot gang already have one sociopath in their ranks, and Tony is not having to let him and his group suffer at the hands of a so-called rogue.
  • The rivalry eventually spilled even further as the DiMeo and Soprano crime families could no longer tolerate the Saints' heavy expansion, seeing that the gang's presence has made their business far difficult, combining gangbanging killers with some degree of coordination thus making them extremely unpredictable. Even with the Corleones' supervision, the Saints have taken the criminal underworld by storm and with their popularity, control is getting difficult, though with attention such as that of the Kingpin, the Boss has taken reports of a few members from his gang killed off by the Kingpin, taking him very personally and the same sentiment can be shared by him. Their expansion eventually reached Bucciarati's Gang and with the entire situation between them, and the other crime lords, the Boss decided to take action. Popular as he may be, Giorno is not fazed but has been in talks with the Boss especially seeing his deeds to be outweighing his sociopathic negatives. A deal was concluded and both him and his gang have made an alliance, with the news eventually reaching Diavolo, taking a personal score with the Boss after his decision to make the deal.
• After that whole visitation to the House, the Boss received an offer by a crazed maniac called Trevor Phillips, who proposed that the Saints could work together with Trevor Phillips Enterprises for a big cut of the deal, though the call was cut short when Michael intervened and proposed that the four of them could work together in Los Santos. The recognition of such name made the Boss remember one person who he originally envied of: Carl Johnson, who's fame and accomplishment is engrained as legendary, even among a few Saints members. Boss was satisfied hearing that he ascended, though Carl recognizes that the Saints accomplished way more than him but still earned his respect regardless. It is their mutual agreement that allowed the 3rd Street Saints and Grove Street Families to strike an alliance of, and also granted the Boss a visit to Los Santos, eventually earning some rivalry to the trio due to the Saints' notoriety, that has not stopped from the four of them working with each other from time to time.
• Even with their origins as a gang, the Saints and especially the Boss thrive in one other house, the House of Popularity. It cannot be denied that the Saints' rise to fame all originated as a gang that embraced the core of gangbanging hoodlums, respect and their reputation. Their second rise to fame is what catapulted the Boss back to the same level after years of his disappearance but it was not until his desire for power through popularity is what lead the Saints into a new celebrity-like mindset and eventually popularity as the President. The House finds him as an interesting anomaly as the Boss was known for being a sociopath with standards on his early days, using all forms of crime and killing just to put the Saints back on the map, but after noticing the power of fame through stardom did those methods change adopting a less-violent approach, a little bit, Boss tends to be a dick even after his supposed changed mindset.
• His title as "God-Emperor for Life of the Universe" has become a contentious topic, some believe that such title and rise to power is too much for an overly ambitious gang leader and for some of the other overzealous emperors, they have taken the announcement to be of great concern. In particular, two God-Emperors stand out, Sigmar and the Immortal God-Emperor of Mankind (or Big E for short). The two have at the very least credited the Boss' desire to give humanity a new home after the Zin Empire trashed and destroyed it but that has not let them get over the fact that another supposed God-Emperor is fighting for a similar title that they have. Big E in particular, especially after the installation of a certain text-to-speech device, has no trust in him, stating that the only person who is allowed to guide humanity is him. Sigmar has little issues with the Boss' actions but is still hesitant and somewhat agrees with the other God-Emperor, seeing the Boss' history before his rise to godhood.
  • Speaking of past history, when Zinyak's presence was made to be known, another alien empire took notice of the Boss with the report of the Zin Empire's collapse. The Combine are one of the few alien empires that have agreed to "aid" the Zin and among the orders Zinyak personally issued was the elimination of the Boss. With both forces in the Pantheon, it will not take long till the Saints have to prepare for a big fight though Boss does have a few Zin soldiers in defense for him since the empire's fall had a few Zin soldiers pledge their allegiance, well before Zinyak reinstated himself and took the majority of his forces back in the Pantheon. Despite this, the Boss has a good chance of surviving whatever is thrown at him, alien or otherwise.
  • On a related note, few years later, the Boss would eventually be called, this time being dragged into hell but not for his sins but rather to be prepped for marriage to Satan's daughter. It was at that time when the God-Emperor title was given to him and with help from his friend Johnny Gat did he meet similar figures. Shakespeare was among those he recognized in the Pantheon, though the version he met clearly had reddish eyes and pointy ears while the Pantheon one has none of that and finds his story rather preposterous, afterall would the actual Shakespeare make a deal in Hell? There were also attempts of him finding Blackbeard and Vlad the Impaler but their differences were even more apparent that the Boss dismissed them. Still, he does visit some of Shakespeare's plays, the artist is in disbelief at the other version of him he has mentioned about. As if it was not bad enough with the aliens, now even demon lords despise the Boss but they will have to be careful should his ally, Johnny Gat, arrive at some point.

Zinyak, Alien Overlord of Cultured Villains (Emperor Zinyak)

• Theme Song: Emperor Zinyak
• Intermediate God
• Symbol: The Zin Empire Logo◊
• Alignment: Lawful Evil
• Portfolio: The military leader of the Zin Empire with an appreciation of culture, polite yet arrogant leader, studies the English language, has a very high opinion of himself only, often humorous in terms of villainy, a counter-opposite to the Boss in various ways
• Domains: Aliens, Conquest, Culture, Technology (Virtual Reality), Arrogance
• Allies: The Combine, the Thraddash
• Praises: William Shakespeare, Elizabeth and Darcy
  • Visitor of: The House of Theatre and Spectacle
• Sponsorship with: Professor Genki
• Rivals: Other alien conquerors like Thanos, Ur-Quan Kzer-Za, Trazyn the Infinite
• Enemies: The Boss of the 3rd Street Saints, Shaundi and Pierce Washington, all human beings and anti-alien forces such as XCOM, The Doctor (and by extension, the Time Police), Blinx, Jazz
• During the the Boss of the 3rd Street Saints' five-year term as President of the United States, a series of starships appeared within the skies of the Earth, eventually subjugating the entire planet and the human race. Even as the Saints retaliated, they were captured and the Boss soon found Steelport, but not the same city as it was before. Seeing it to be a byproduct of augmented reality, the Boss and his remaining companions would fight their way to escape the simulation. All of this would be watched by the overlord who conquered Earth: Zinyak. The leader of the Zin Empire who waged invasions of multiple worlds and either recruited or froze those deemed worthy of the military empire he made, this would be his modus operandi for the Saints as he found the Boss to be of worth recruiting. While this may sound as generic as one can get, Zinyak has shown a complete fascination of the enemy culture, specifically that of human culture. He has learnt english, promoted cultural agencies in his homeworld and even has him spouting lines from poems in every speech he makes, not to mention all those humans he froze were authors he has fond appreciation for. Eventually, after facing the Boss face-to-face and the destruction of the Earth due to his arrogance, his reign came to an end as the Boss ripped his head off and took over as the new Emperor of the Zin Empire.
• From a wormhole, an entire armada of red and black ships had flown into the Pantheon, searching and stealing anyone who is "worthy" for an army. The Boss of the 3rd Saints, understandably pissed off, went in with his own army to fight them off. After a long fight, the Zin were defeated but their leader hid without notice. It took a while but Boss found Zinyak, the leader that attacked, afterwards following his sudden invasion. In reality however, Zinyak was way too early when it came to arrival in the Pantheon, having already been established way before the Saints did, evidenced by Professor Genki and his sponsorship and that he had shown the Court of the Gods his appreciation for culture, especially Earth's. The armada invasion was just his reaction when the Saints were given Godhood, telling him that he will see him as a thrall someday, though Boss will make sure that never happens.
• For an alien warlord, the emperor of the Zin Empire has a radically different mindset compared to other alien conquerors. Sure, he does invade and take over worlds while subjugating lesser races but for some odd reason, he has a penchant love for literature and the English language, hence him taking a lot of cues from poetry. During Earth's capture, he had a lot of human subjects frozen in popsicles as he treasures artists he admire, among those is Jane Austen. He even has admiration for older artists by the likes of William Shakespeare and Mozart, listening to every piece available as well as doing dances, "the Worm" among what he can actually do. While the leader is very culturally curious, the rest of the Zin Empire do not share the same sentiment, with the Zin Orchestra being an obvious case of such. Even he admits he would rather have no one be subjected to listening to their songs as their pieces or horrible, but one can wonder if had Zinyak been less of a narcissist that he could give the rest of his race enough time to understand culture in general. And if that was not enough, he also had a Twitter account, but has not updated it ever since his invasion of Earth and will most definitely not update it following his embarrassing defeat at the hands of the Boss.
  • The aforementioned love for alien culture is what separates him from other alien forces, even though the intention is similar to some. During the Zin Empire's introduction to the Pantheon, the first alien force they contacted was the Combine, who were willing to share their resources in exchange for a potential alliance. Zinyak complied, having some of his best warriors in exchange for an Earth he can have, though his relationship to the large alien empire could be strained if he continuously hogs the Earth to himself. The Thraddash was very eager to learn of the Zin, seeing that their race had the opportunity to learn more about Earth's culture though just like them, both alien empires had mixed results when it comes to accepting the newfound arts. One of the few cultured alien lifeforms to directly oppose him was the Autobot Jazz as their faction was dedicated to protecting Earth. Conflict does exist between him and the Autobot but he also comments that Jazz's tastes in human culture is of poor judgement compared to his exotic love for poems and plays.
  • Other alien forces that are based on invasions have seen him as competition, that and they are not letting him control Earth after his careless act of destroying the planet itself, which could spell doom if he did it on the scale of the Pantheon itself. Specific conquerors such as the Ur-Quan Kzer-Za and Thanos have voiced their distate at Zinyak's carelessness as an alien conqueror, with the former taking offense on the Zin Empire's connections to both the Combine and Thraddash while the latter was this close to congratulating him for his efforts, had it not for him blowing Earth up without considering the resources and manpower he could have used to bolster his force. Then again, Thanos is very serious in his crusade while this specific warlord could genuinely give less of a fuck about it.
• Zinyak's history has been criticized by many villains, likely because his hubris got the best of him, ever since he kidnapped Boss and his crew and placed him in his simulation. So many times he underestimated him and it costed his position and even his life, yet it never occurred to him to take his situation so seriously. That said, he has one of the sturdiest egos in the Pantheon, despite, or because of, his attitude, which adds more to hilarity on his part. Even when he was on the verge of death, he still boasts his achievements in front of the Boss just as he is about to be beheaded. Comparisons between him and the Boss shows that the overlord is the Boss should his ego and power-hungry trip take him over. This is especially evidenced in his treatment of his soldiers. The Saints will take a bullet for any member while Zinyak will toss his best lieutenant into the meat grinder any time and this is no better shown than after his beheading by the Boss as the remaining Zin soldiers eventually sided to him after their leader was dead. In the case of the Pantheon, he holds majority of the Zin Empire in his rule but a few Zin soldiers make it out and meet up to their true leader, the Boss.
• Humanity has been a victim of countless invasions, and the Zin Empire is no different, as many humans were subjugated and unceremoniously killed afterwards by a single press of a button. Originally, the invasion was meant to find humanity's best but he went above and beyond, manipulating time and kidnapping human artists for preservation of their craft. The Pantheon's ever increasing human deities were less than thrilled when he blew their planet up for no reason other than spiting the Boss and the other shenanigans he did with their kind. The organizations that defend the planet, XCOM being the most active, have spoken their hatred for him after such event and no other human has taken a liking for him despite his curiosity of their culture. His response only reinforces such attitude from him.
  Zinyak: Whoops.
  • With his continuation within Pantheon grounds, he does take breaks from his schemes and instead takes casual visits throughout the House of Theatre and Spectacle, which is his most favourite house within the realm. Many of his desires of human culture can be traced to this specific house as well as having his inspirations be present, the most obvious being William Shakespeare. He would soon expand and soon find both William and Elizabeth Darcy, characters that he adored after kidnapping Jane Austen and narrating the story in front of him. While he loves their origin of work, the humans he adores never share the same feelings back at him, though it would not care when he can freeze them into human popsicles for safekeeping, if only the Boss would not foil his plan whenever he enacted on it. The entire house is at shock that an alien warlord is one of the most common visitors of their newfound home.
• Speaking of the whole human popsicle thing, the Zin Empire are rather advanced when it comes to technology, be it weapons, augmented reality or even time travel, even if said travel is limited on range. Nonetheless, taking advantage of such gave him the ability to time travel at whatever time and admire the person he is aiming to take, only to freeze them into his collection. Such collection would become a contentious target as he has to handle the Pantheonic Time Police and their attempts to stop him from collecting more humans, alongside the Doctor and Blinx, who directly oppose his attempts to take certain figures from history just for his amusement. The other issue he has is with other collectors, especially Trazyn the Infinite, who he considers to be a true threat to his collection. Trazyn even went as far as to take his head, the same head that the Boss beheaded, as a potential treasure in his Pantheonic version of Solemnace and even prepped a large amount of space, of which he believes he is aiming to take his precious human artist collection to a more... archival-driven deity.

Happy Batman's Birthday... Day.

Yeah, that out of the way, some reworks to commemorate the occasion. Yeah, they all have little content and needs serious overhauls, so why not.

• Mr Freeze - Anti-Villain
  • Mr. Freeze is one of Batman's most notable adversaries, and he also happens to be one of the most tragic and sympathetic in comparison to the rest. While Victor Fries does not hesitate to commit acts of destruction and antagonism to whoever gets in his way, his main motivation, and the only reason he's a villain to begin with was because his wife, Nora, was afflicted with an incurable disease, forcing Victor to cryogenically freeze her until he can find a cure. When he was refused help, he was knocked into cryogenics and turned into a being of ice who was driven partially by revenge and desperation.
• Ra's al Ghul - Immortals Fear Death
  • Ra's is the immortal head of an assassination syndicate and a close second/third to being Batman's Arch-Enemy. He has grand ambitions regarding saving the world, albeit in extreme ways that result in opposition against other heroes, especially Batman. He has an extreme adversity to dying mainly because he's really dedicated to seeing the completion of his goals, resulting him Ra's constantly employing the use of Lazarus Pits to heal himself from injuries and keep himself at his physical prime as well as resurrecting him in case he dies.
• The Rogues^note Captain Cold, Heat Wave, Golden Glider, Captain Boomerang I, Mirror Master II - Even Evil Has Standards
  • An outlier I decided, if mainly I've had this idea for around a year, and I've decided to only have it represented by it's most notable members. Led by Captain Cold, The Rogues are a criminal organization that clashes against The Flash on several occasions. Compared to most villains, however, The Rogues have established a set of rules and standards that they diligently adhere to, even if some of it skirts towards Pragmatic Villainy. For one, Cold thinks that their actions are centred on regular crime like bank robberies and tend to avoid casualties and as much collateral damage as possible. They also dislike indiscriminate acts of violence and avoid drugs as Cold thinks would go against their pragmatic way of thinking as well as them being needlessly damaging and detrimental.

for all three.

How exactly would The Boss deal with some Vigilante Men like The Punisher or The Red Hood? And what would the potential follow up be in regards to those associated with the two? For Zinyak, Palpatine would also see him as rival, but would also not have any problems with what he did to the Earth. Besides having zero relations with the planet, his idea for the Death Star was to keep the Planets in line, or else risk total distruction. Zinyak warned The Boss what would happen, and fallowed through with his warning. Frieza would probably feel the same, but would be more on ally. In a sort of "business" relationship, Frieza and his forces would be paid to conquer a planet, and Zinyak can sit back and drink his alien wine.

Gods! Get your Gods here!

Auctioning off some profile ideas for adoption, key words being for adoption. If you're going to any of these, make sure to specify if you're taking them or not.

Master Chen, God of Tournament Arcs

• Reasoning: The Big Bad of the fourth season, Chen is the organizer of the "Tournament of Masters", gathering the masters of various Elemental Powers together to fight for some nebulous purpose. He sent an invitation to our heroes shortly after Zane's Heroic Sacrifice, bringing them to his island to battle the other Elemental Masters. Of course this was all a front for his true Evil Plan, which was to absorbing the powers of the ninja so that he and his men could turn into Snake People and then do the usual villain thing.

• Reasoning: Marvel Zombies was a 2006 Elseworld miniseries about exactly what you think, a Zombie Apocalypse breaking out in the Marvel Universe, with the heroes being turned into the undead hordes by a mysterious "Hunger Gospel" and wrecking havoc across the universe. What made the Hunger Gospel's spawn unique from other types of zombies was the fact that underneath their horrific visages they still retained their human intelligence, but they were unable to contain their Horror Hunger since they had to eat Brain Food to survive, even if they hate the monsters they have turned into. By comparison, the Quantum Virus zombies, their counterparts in the TV adaptation are your typical George Romero-esque zombies. Shambling hordes with only the drive to eat and nothing else, showing none of the intelligence that defined their comic selves.

• Reasoning: Rescue Bots is a Lighter and Softer Spin-Off to the Transformers franchise that moves the action away from the traditional Autobot-Decepticon war and focuses on a different team of Cybertronians living on Earth. The Rescue Bots are an Autobot Team based in Griffin Rock, dealing with local disaster rather than the ongoing threat of Decepticon invaders, and rarely do they factor into something larger in the Transformers multiverse unless something really bad has happened and Optimus Prime has to get involved.

I am interested in the Marvel Zombies but I'm wondering if Evil Learns of Outside Context fits. Abstaining. Crimson Shark might like

Speaking of which, I have a few ideas that I want to put up for adoptables if Gigan is allowed to do so. Anyone want these? Or at least suggest your alternatives and propose them

• Auric Goldfinger, God of Loving Only Gold (Hall of Commercial Attitude)-The aptly named Goldfinger is a criminal businessmen who has a fetish for gold. His evil plan is to either steal the gold in Fort Knox or in the movie, make it radioactive to make his own collection far more valuable. A Man of Wealth and Taste, he tries to put gold wherever it can be. Even his lovers are painted in the stuff
• Henry F. Potter, God of Tyrannical Town Tycoons: the main antagonist of this Christmas classic, Mr Potter owns the only bank in town and the richest citizen. He's a mean old bastard who all but rules over the town, and acts like a plutocratic despot. Had Bailey never existed, he would be able to outright turn the town into an Egopolis
• Suzie Wong, Goddess of Asian Sex Workers: a 1960 romantic drama, Suzie Wong is the main romantic lead of the movie. She's a Hong Kong prostitute who hopelessly falls in love with the Caucasian male lead. While it still falls under Fair for Its Day, she's more fleshed out than this trope at the time and she wants to escape her profession

for Goldfinger. Wootzitz has Suzie Wong and Robert Lomax approved for Mighty Whitey and Mellow Yellow.

Follow the Leader is in effect. I got a lot of adoptable profiles in my Sandbox2. And here are three, though they're quite "old".

• Sheriff Buford T. Justice, Celestial Founder of the Hollywood Police Driving Academy
  • Potential House: Travel and Justice
  • Reasoning: He's the Trope Maker. The film series he's from has a lot of these cops, and his reputation tops them all with all the vehicular demolition his car suffers in his chase of Bo "Bandit" Darville.
• Commander Cullen Rutherford, Lady Josephine Montilyet, and Leliana, Godly Triumvirate of the Classic RPG Paths to Victory
  • Potential House: Gaming
  • Reasoning: The Inquisitor's War Table Advisers have this trope literally applied to them, being the the Inquisitor's War Table Advisers. You can complete missions on the War Table by choosing one of these advisers to handle each one. Each of them takes a different amount of time to complete a particular mission and potentially can have different outcomes.
• Lucius Quinctius Cincinnatus, God of Leaders Who Don't Want Power And Abdicate It Once It's Unneeded
  • Potential House: Leadership
  • Reasoning: Trope Namer. The title speaks for itself, and he's pulled this off multiple times.

Edited by nightelf37 on Feb 20th 2022 at 8:14:24 PM

for all three.

@General Gigan Perhaps Plague Zombie would work better for the Marvel Zombies, since the Hunger Virus (also called Hunger Gospel) can seemingly infect just about any being that's organic, including those with healing factors like Wolverine and the Hulk and gods like Thor and Hercules, although they were capable of fending off the virus for slightly longer before succumbing. The virus also appears to be sentient and compels the zombies to "spread the gospel" to everyone (especially to superhumans) around them and, eventually, into other realities.

Should I Cut Adaptations since essentially all of the profiles moved to Halls In the House of Media and Connectivity?

@Wikia: You're adopting them? Please read the entire post before you give a , please.
