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:
    • The very first thing any contributor should do before working on an idea or a profile is to propose and nominate the idea on the Trope Pantheons discussion thread. In the forums, you must discuss with other users on adding ideas and seek their approval with sound reasoning, a paragraph of reasoning to justify taking a trope should be sufficient. 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. You can also get some assistance in the forum thread by either asking for help and those interested asking if they can help. Attempting to work on ideas without a nomination and at least one net thumbs-up will not be accepted regardless of how much you have written already. 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    • If you feel the need to remove a character for some reason (poor quality, outdated titles, etcetera) and replace him/her with another or outright rework, please see what the other tropers think about this in the discussion thread before doing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. For reworks in particular, nominate the idea as you would with new characters or profiles. 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.
      • 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, either in the Pantheon or the Sandbox sections.
    • 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 creativity to create hypothetical scenarios towards fictional characters. Some real-life individuals, including content creators (fictional content created by them is still fair-game, but do not bring up the creators themselves in such cases), may be considered disqualified for profiles due to controversies that would make them concern the Rule of Cautious Editing Judgment. To determine where a current creator would be disqualified:
      • Wait for at least a month after the latest significant update for a creator's controversy before any decision can be made. If a confirmation from the questioned creator (or associates) themselves occurs, then wait for a week.
      • Immediate disqualification for either a guilty sentence in a significant court case against the creator, or evidence of consistently repeated, deliberate, and/or intentionally provocative hate speech and advocacy of dehumanizing perspectives, with lesser examples warranting caution instead.
      • For creators with a clear persona of their character disclosed before any scandal, the persona can have a profile with no mentioning of their real-life information. Ambiguous existence of a persona would have to be discussed further hand for anything more decisive.
    • For obvious reasons, gods cannot be followers, high priests, or heralds. 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 Expansion, 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 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 one flavor 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 to look like Character Shilling.
    • Every troper new to the Pantheon is barred from approving or downvoting profiles until they have ascended at least two profiles, this means avoiding the usage of "[tup]" or "[tdown]".
    • 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 the 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. After all, no one is responding to their idea.
    • You can also adopt a profile or idea to work on from another contributor by messaging a request to them (preferably through private messages). Even if you get their permission, you still have to announce your adoption to the forum. Note that if the idea wasn't nominated in the first place you still have to properly nominate it.
  • 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 note in a trope example that the character is a God of this trope, do not do it. If you see leftovers of this practice, correct the situation by deleting the offending text. This goes for any non-Pantheon 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 Pantheon.Good And Evil Colors.
    • Do not bring things that would incite fights; hot topics and 'urgent' news are not pertinent to the Pantheon's mission. For example, the political scene and some really bad politicians. We are not here to fight each other, so don't suggest things that go in 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:
  • When writing a profile for a character, here are a few things to note:
    • Please refer to Text Formatting Rules when writing a profile, since understanding how to make and edit site pages in general is a necessity for working on profiles or other Pantheon content. Additionally, if you are not experienced with English, refer to this forum page, as proper English spelling and grammar is expected.
    • 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 another House as well. Up to 2 places can be made for a deity at most.
    • 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 of their series' official soundtracks from the 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 highlight 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 it 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 many bytes, it is suggestible to use this site to reduce the byte size. If the byte is still too big, run the compressed image through other sites (or even the same one) to compress even further. Use wikis to look for better images, as even wikis 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 make 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. 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 an expectation to build the profiles off interactions from fictional portrays rather than basing it entirely 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 where trope-less profiles 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 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.
    • Do not write in self-promotion or blatant advertising. Minor references to something are fine but writing that clearly intends to advertise something will not be given toleration.
  • 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 on 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 Warper deities 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 Warper deities 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 Warper beings 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: Badass Normal citizens of the pantheon, making up for their lower status 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/Goddess/Deity 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 the 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 alignments to characters that don't have an 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 the deity would be unavailable, incapacitated, dead, or otherwise incapable of carrying out their duties. 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 from their perspective 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 oppose or are opposed by (basically the opposite of "Respects", "On Good Terms With", and/or "Commonality Connection") in 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.
      • OPTIONAL NOTE FOR CHARACTER RELATIONSHIPS: Should the list for Character relationships (IE. Allies, Enemies, etc.) become too big, categorize a certain number of characters to a specific group putting them on a sublist (One example: Luigi is from the same world as his brother Mario, hence Luigi should be fall under the Super Mario Bros sublist.)
  • 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 is 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 of 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 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 to 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 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 to 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 more.
    • Note: Standard amount of flavor text for Treasures is 7 at minimum to 12 at maximum.

Sacrifices must be made.

Also, got a new idea for a potential deity:

The Inhabitants of the Sleeping World, Feuding Deities of Battles Between Dreams And Nightmares

Reason: The entire plot of this cult classic cartoon centers around an object called the Dreamstone, in possession of the heroic Noops, who use it to spread good dreams around the world. The evil Lord of Nightmares, Zordrak, seeks to steal the Dreamstone and use it to spread nightmares (though he later broadens his horizons). Fortunately, the Urpney minions he sends to steal the Dreamstone are not very good at it, and thus it becomes a episodic Road Runner vs. Coyote cartoon (or is it Wolf vs. Sheepdog?)

It's been too long but now I updated Rocky Balboa's profile. I will adjust some paragraphs considering it does not make sense to anybody and I feel it's a bit off on some characters.

Do I have to add more or that's enough?

  • Robert Balboa, or referred usually as Rocky, is a heavyweight boxer and two time Heavyweight champion. He was once a debt collector and a small time boxer but after winning a fight against Spider Rico he is selected by current Heavyweight champion Apollo Creed since other replacements were unavailable. It's him finally getting a chance for fame to become a full time boxer, of course he had to work all the way to become the Heavyweight champion by beating the man and he got in a relationship with Adrian which blossomed into them being married with a son. While his fame is increasing to the point he's considered one of the greatest boxers it wasn't always sweet as he got in situations with other boxers like Lang rising to the top or him facing Russia with Drago. The former causing him realize that he got his opponents handpicked out of concern. The latter causing Apollo's death with Rocky not throwing the towel out of respect for the man's pride, causing him to regret it for decades and he got brain damaged during their fight. Rocky is forced to retire from boxing and while he did mentor a potential student named Tommy Gunn it strained his relationship with his family especially with his son and said student got manipulated by a corrupt promoter which caused him to fight him but he managed to win in a street fight and not let the promoter get his chance of a sanctioned fight.
    • Many years later, Rocky runs a restaurant named after his now late wife now living comfortably. But as he outlives Adrian and has once again a strained relationship with his son and Rocky is alone with a few others by his side. Rocky did return to boxing if only for a brief time to solve his issues. As of now in recent times, Rocky fully retired from boxing and still working on his restaurant. One day before closing off his restaurant, a certain man named Adonis Creed, the illegitimate son of the late Apollo came and asked him to mentor him which Rocky reluctantly agreed, reluctant because he is still unsure he should comeback. During him training with Adonis, Rocky is revealed to have cancer and he refuses chemotherapy due to not just Adrian's experience but his own mortality seeing that most of his friends from his youth died in the meantime during the 16 years. Rocky gets encouraged by Adonis in a pact so they would overcome their struggles which both of them agree on. Rocky decides to actually mentor Donnie and accompanies him throughout his career as a boxer until one day, Ivan returns seeking revenge. Ivan's threat to Rocky that his son that Viktor would beat Adonis, would fear him enough to warn Adonis but unfortunately he refused out of spite and does the match with Rocky watching on. Rocky witnessed the match and was horrified enough after the fight to visit and manages to reconcile with Adonis. Rocky would train Adonis to prepare for the rematch and stay with him during the rematch. The result was Adonis winning the rematch against Viktor, which Rocky decides to pass on the torch to Adonis.
  • Rocky would find his way to the Pantheon, at some point after the match. While Rocky would be confused by the overall setting of the new area he decides to stay low and run his restaurant. A costumer would tell him about the House of Sports and Rocky would visit there. Rocky would soon decide that the Pantheon would be an interesting place to be in. He was also very surprised that his reputation spread throughout the Pantheon. He was then taken to the Court of the Gods who bestowed him the title of God of Training Montages which Rocky would accept considering that he was fond of the times he underwent training. Rocky while deciding to run his restaurant most of the time, would take some time off and be a boxer, inevitably getting accumulated in the Pantheon.
  • Rocky soon would found out that Apollo ascended to the Pantheon and decided to wait for him. One day, Apollo decided to visit Rocky's place and after looking an image of Rocky and Adonis, Rocky would come near him and told Apollo the events that happened after his death. While Apollo is bewildered by the aged Rocky, with Rocky saying that things haven't gone well ever since he defeated Drago. Rocky would tell him about his son Adonis, which shocked Apollo note  but he is otherwise glad that Adonis is living out his life and starting his own legacy. Both men would keep in contact with each other with them waiting for the chance for Adonis to ascend himself.
  • Being a determined person himself, Rocky would attract manners of people that are very determined in their goals whether they succeed or not. Nonetheless while despite he does have undergone his ups and downs throughout his life he still remains a determined man and keeps his head high. Overall, it's not his career that makes him what he is but it's him being determined to win and push himself to fight for what's right. Rocky would meet a manner of people who are so determined they will simply not give up or acquired something that would be insurmountably difficult for the norm to achieve. His affiliates are well aware of Rocky's determination, especially his allies respect the man for that.
    • One of the first people who he has met in this area who has determination is a certain boxer named Glass Joe who despite his medical condition and record still kept on with his boxing career. Rocky is also very puzzled that he even attempt to mentor someone despite his lack of overall abilities in that field. While Rocky is contemplating on training him considering his needs he decides to simply mentor him but decides to go lightly until he is ready for the actual stuff. With this taking a while of course but Rocky is patient that he will improve sincerely and visibly rather than being beaten all the time.
    • He also met Saitama who randomly bumped into him one day in the afternoon. While they started a conversation, he noticed a corpse of a Mysterious Being splat to pieces. He questioned Saitama if he did this and Saitama nodded causing Rocky to be a little flabbergasted by the latter's absurd strength with him asking Saitama how he obtained that ridiculous amount of strength with the latter saying he simply trained so hard and consistently that he gained his strength but with the loss of his hair. Rocky would be understandably flabbergasted by that statement but knew that the conclusion was logically sound considering it was so ridiculous.
  • Being a mentor who failed at the first time but succeeded the second time he can relate with other mentors but the one he notably meets is from the Karate Kid universe. He gets along with Mr. Miyagi and Daniel LaRusso though he might think that Daniel is too set on his beliefs to be like his mentor. With Johnny that is a complicated matter while he is genuinely impressed with Johnny's change in heart and turning teens to become better mentally and physically, he won't condone his actions as a bully though he is sympathetic as his actions are taught and pressured by Kreese. With Kreese, Rocky unsurprisingly is spiteful of him considering his overall actions and the fact he intentionally corrupts his students to becoming ruthless fighters. Rocky even got pressured by the latter to fight him thinking he's just a former heavyweight boxer who hasn't been in an actual fight, Rocky proves him wrong with Kreese beaten but not too badly which caused him to declare he would start a vendetta against him.
  • With him being one of the greatest boxers in his hometown or world, even by the Pantheon standards he still has an astounding reputation compared to other boxers and many of them want to meet him or spar with him. He gets along with Dudley and Little Mac considering both of them are respectable boxers and aren't malicious. While he is somewhat disappointed with TJ's usage of cybernetic enhancements he changes his opinion when we sees that TJ is willing to fight to claim back his title and fight against Ultratech. With Balrog, he despises even more so than Drago and doesn't think he's a true boxer, with his reasoning is not him, being just dirty but overall is evil, being a member of Shadaloo and focusing on greed. That said while Rocky himself can't fight Balrog considering he would literally be killed if they fight he can rely on Dudley to help him with the latter accepting.
    • He has a rivalry with Ippo Makunouchi, both of them were once underdogs who become top boxers but ultimately their careers ended via a form of injury like Rocky suffering brain damage and Ippo soaking up so much damage that he possibly could have punch-drunk syndrome. The differences between them is that Rocky is a heavyweight and primarily a Stone Wall and Ippo is a featherweight Lightning Bruiser with abysmal defensive skills. While Rocky is a little bit saddened that Ippo's career ended at a ripe young age, both of them decided to help mentor other boxers through Rocky is much more experienced with this than Ippo due to once mentoring a certain talented young man but failed before successfully training Adonis. Before that Rocky did challenge Ippo for the position of God of Boxing only to prove who's better with no malicious intent, with them being equal before Ippo retains the title with Rocky settling on with his trope.
  • With him being injured to the point of retirement after his fight against Ivan Drago, Rocky can relate to the others of the topic of injuries that end careers. But he knows that he has to carry on from his former career or otherwise he will indirectly hurt others just as he did with Robert. It's why even in the Pantheon that he prefers working at his restaurant noting to himself that he is lucky that he even survived the fight against Drago and he only does boxing occasionally and just for showing off rather than serious things. Rocky decides to relate to others on the topic of that and help them throughout their struggles via offering support.
    • (Ryuji Sakamoto)
    • He encountered Ultraseven who's in his Dan Moroboshi form, one day while walking around in a certain area. Both of them decide to find a place to discuss about their stories and eventually to the point of discussing their struggles. While Rocky is amazed at Ultraseven's exploits he cautions him that going further means he will inevitably succumb which he doesn't want to see once again. Ultraseven admits to Rocky that he can't stop doing his job to protect Earth and his homeworld, just because of his injuries considering the threats around but does listen to Rocky. Rocky instead persuades him to not be reckless doing what he does in his job. Ultraseven is understandably not willing to stop but concedes to Rocky that lives are at stake and if he stops his job then it would be disastrous for them but considers it. All in all, both of them are actually quite cordial with each other and talk sometimes.

"Let me tell you something you already know. The world ain’t all sunshine and rainbows. It is a very mean and nasty place and it will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it. You, me, or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life. But it ain’t how hard you hit; it’s about how hard you can get hit, and keep moving forward. How much you can take, and keep moving forward. That’s how winning is done. Now, if you know what you’re worth, then go out and get what you’re worth. But you gotta be willing to take the hit, and not pointing fingers saying you ain’t where you are because of him, or her, or anybody. Cowards do that and that ain’t you. You’re better than that."

Top: The Nestene Consciousness, Bottom: Autons derived from shopping mall dummies.
  • Note: Rework
  • Intermediate Deity (the Nestene Consciousness), Lesser Deities (typical Auton soldier)
  • Symbol: A radio next to a mannequin
  • Theme Song: Auton Invasion
  • Alignment: Neutral Evil (the Nestene Consciousness; the Autons tend to be whatever the Consciousness wants)
  • Portfolio
  • Domains: Invasions, Plastic, Radio Control, Aliens, Automata
  • Interested in: Metal Sonic
  • Interests: Slappy the Dummy, Charles Lee Ray/Chucky
  • Allies: The Master (UNIT Years incarnation), Shub-Niggurath (its parent), General Grievous, The Vahki, Hexxus, Ares (Next Gen)
  • "Business partners": The Factory, Conal Cochran
  • Rivals: SKYNET, Teridax, Victor Von Doom, the Pod People, The Shroobs
  • Enemies
  • Opposes: the Martians (Mars Attacks)
  • Opposed by: The House of Commerce
  • Feared By: Emmet Brickowski, The Toys Of Toy Story
  • Said to be spawned by Shub-Niggurath, the ancient and primordial Nestene Consciousness has a special power in being able to impose its Hive Mind will onto plastic. Be it mannequins, toys, or breast implants, whatever that was plastic had not become living, but malevolent and hostile. Mannequins especially served as its foot soldiers and automata known as the Autons. Their first invasion of Earth came at the hands of The Master, and later on tried to hijack the London Eye for their efforts. In other time(line?) they worked with other rival powers to trick the Doctor into a cage, reviving his companion Rory as a Manchurian Agent. He's human again, in case you're wondering.
  • As a Hive Mind, while the Autons are capable of being sentient to a degree they are largely an extension of the Eldritch Abomination known as the Nestene Consciousness. Having remembered being used by them Rory wasn't at all happy when after being ascended the Nestene Consciousness was eventually granted its request to bring the Autons. However the Hive Mind is more concerned with thwarting the Doctor for being the most consistent thorn on its side, along with the leaders of Dalek and Time Lord society because their Last Great Time War destroyed its protein planets and led it to re-invade the Earth. Having worked with them before it and the Master had decided neither had outlived each other's usefulness like they thought and they teamed up once more...well, the incarnation that fought UNIT at least. The other Masters don't care.
  • Initially they send plastic meteors to planets in order to set up invasion. Being composed of plastic, the Autons have nothing to fear from the the Facehuggers and Xenomorphs, besides the possibility of "stepping on each other's toes". Rather than the House of Extraterrestrials like you'd expect, the Autons consider the House of Machinery and Technology as a second home as it is closer to what they are. The collective has shown some interest in Metal Sonic due to how effective a replica of an organic being he is, however Metal doesn't give a damn about whatever they're doing unless it gets in the way of his feud with Sonic.
    • Dr Eggman and Wily have both privately suggested they try to take control of the Nestene Consciousness, and publicly admitted the Autons have given them idea for plastic-themed robots.
  • The Grand United Alliance of Machines has considered courting the approval of the Nestene Consciousness as while it is an Eldritch Abomination, the Autons are a type of robot and not one they see that often. While not at odds or anything, the Nestenes remains decidedly neutral in how they feel about the GUAM. For now they are studying more of the House of Machinery and Technology so as to learn more of other machines. Ares came to the Auton army with an open hand as he allegedly claims to want to make a world without conflict, and the single-minded Autons come off as a good way to achieve it. He also has experience making an imposter.
  • Among other alien invaders, they see the Shroobs as a notable rival to gaining power, and the fact they have no plastic or mannequins to exploit furthers that fact. They don't hold much respect for the Martians from Mars Attacks! however, considering them childish and too Laughably Evil when they should get to the point. The Doctor chided them for this as Autons usually just smash any person they see in sight. Their ascension had the Visitors wonder if they would try to take control of the plastic in buttplugs, only for the Nestene Consciousness to yell "NO!" and reply that putting satellites in people's anuses has dirtied their mind.
    • The collective noticed that another alien race, the Pod People, also like to use duplicates for the purpose of replacement and infiltration, and both sides want to study how each other does it so they can come across as even more convincing.
  • Emmet Brickowski and the Toys, as they're made of plastic, fear the Nestene Consciousness immensely and remain a very far distance from it at all times. The collective's ascension led to some paranoia in the House of Costumes because many of the plastic dummies there were turned into Autons and caused a rampage. Until a signal jammer was developed and anti-plastic vials were left as an emergency measure, the House had to use wooden and other non-plastic dummies. When the aglets of shoes there were given life to cause a nuisance, the Question screamed out "I knew it!" and the Nestenes' ambition only added to his conspiracy theories.
  • As the Nestene Consciousness can make anything plastic bend to its will, and mannequins are just its prefereed Auton choice, their invasion is considered bad for the House of Commerce due to how ubiquitous plastic products are. As the SCP Foundation is about containing and hiding the anomalous, they have made a new division specifically to deal with anomalous plastics and counter-act the Nestenes' will along with capturing the Consciousness. The Auton army sought to deal with their interference, and they eventually found a begrudging business partner in the Factory because they've made a couple useful SCPs for their cause: SCP-528 (basically voodoo dolls mixed with silly putty) and SCP-1096 (silicon breast implants that can convert the rest of the body to plastic).
  • General Grievous, who in one of his backstories joined the Separatists out of desperation for his planet's survival, offered the Nestene Consciousness a rare show of sympathy when he learned that the Nestenes' planet was ravaged in the Time War. That said, his new background lacks that background or his old sympathetic traits, however he still recognizes how useful the Auton drones are. And as the Hive Mind extends to plastic, not metal, the droids he uses can count themselves safe from "internal affairs". Boba wasn't at all pleased by this as the Consciousness reminds him of the Sarlacc and he hopes to avoid it as much as possible.
  • The Nestene Consciousness has shown interest in having the Vahki join forces with it, taking them for being mindless Mooks that he can control in a similar way to the Autons. Teridax is keeping an eye on the Nestene as a result of this, and is ready as ever to go to extreme lengths to prevent this from happening. It has also desired to beat SKYNET's reputation in being a Robot Master and match its Terminators with Auton Terminators. The Master Computer admits it hasn't put much thought against an alien interloper, but it isn't impressed with robots made of plastic. The response it was given was "yes, but they're also a lot more loyal to me".
  • They like the Earth because of the smoke, oil toxins and dioxins to feed off. As such, they struck a mutually beneficial deal with Hexxus: Hexxus would increase pollution based off hydrocarbons and dirty plastic production, so long as they can have an equal amount of "food" from it. You can guess how Captain Planet took this. Auton duplicates of the Planeteers are currently being produced to finagle their plans. Their attempts to get a corporate ally wasn't as eventful as even ruthless businessmen don't trust the Nestene Consciousness to be anywhere near their products. The exception was Conal Cochran, who got into the pantheon in the first place with how his consumer products have a lethality to them and for the time being will work with the plastic menace for his worship of Samhain.
  • Some Autons are so life-like that they can not look just like a person, they fully believe their own cover story until the Nestene Consciousness takes direct control of them. River once dated an Auton with swappable heads, which kept things fresh, so they can probably be anatomically correct. One wonders if the Doombots follow similar design principles to these advanced Autons if they can be mistaken for the real deal. Doom naturally wants to gain the power of the Nestene Consciousness so he can have his own little army of Autons. The Nestene Consciousness was interested in Doom's ambition, and more importantly his Doombots as it could get a lot out of applying their technology to some of its Autons.
  • The ability to impersonate people is why the Autonsnote  plot in the Disguises and Impostors and Impersonations Halls. The former holds another Whovian group, the Weeping Angels, however as mannequins don't really have a life force there's an agreement "stay out of my way and I'll stay out of yours" between the two. Unsurprisingly the Among Us crew don't like this, while the Imposter is too concerned fitting in to give a different opinion. Slappy the Dummy and Chucky were amused by all of this, since they think they can exploit the Nestenes' ambition for whatever their current plans are. The Nestene Consciousness simply ignores them, but it did think they should try bringing more toys to life.
  • As strong as the Autons are, they are still made of plastic and thus vulnerable to samples of anti-plastic. It didn't take much from Rose and the 9th Doctor to take out the Nestene Consciousness. However it may have escaped by merging with someone in Westminster. That someone may be the future prime minister Boris Johnson, making him yet another British PM who turned out to be an alien. The Master feels he should sue him for the idea. The Autons found another vulnerability, if a psychic one; the time they exploited Marvin the Paranoid Android's status as "your plastic pal who's fun to be with" to control him and access his intelligence. The efforts led them to a taste of his depression which left the Consciousness reeling in ennui.
  • It is unknown if an Auton would be petrified if it and Medusa saw eye-to-eye, seeing as how they're inorganic. As being stone would cut off their connection to the Nestene Consciousness, its better for them they keep their distance. They are immune to Ghatanothoa as plastic can't be mummified, and even in a more organic form the Nestene Consciousness is enough of an Eldritch Abomination to not be disrupted by the Great Old One. Being plastic, Autons have a resistance to the Hall of Electricity as well, though it's uncommon for them to get involved with the Hall.

  • Domains: Dreams, Slapstick, Stones, Battles
  • Followers: The other Noops, Wuts, Urpneys, and the Argorribles

  • Enemies: Each other's respective allies
  • Within the realm known as the Sleeping World, there are two realms: The Land of Dreams, and the Land of Nightmares, or Viltheed. In the Land of Dreams, the kind and powerful Dream Maker uses the power of the Dreamstone to send good dreams to the Noops and Wutts of the world. But within Viltheed, the terrible Zordrak, Lord of Nightmares, seeks to steal the Dreamstone and spread nightmares instead. To this end, he sends his minions, the Uprneys, to try and steal it. Fortunately, the Urpneys are not only very bad at their jobs, but are always stopped by Rufus and Amberly, two Noops who serve as the Dream Maker's aides.
  • The tale of how these two sides came to the Pantheon is an bizarre one. Reportedly, the Urpneys, on one of their attempts to steal the Dreamstone, wound up flying through a portal and directly into the Treasury, where they came across another Dreamstone- the one from the dream world accessible by Pi'illo Island. Deciding that this would be enough to please Zordrak, they stole it and headed back to Viltheed. Zordrak was initially furious, as he was not fooled by the deception, but decided that the Pi'illo Dreamstone was enough to work in his favor. That night, nightmares were spread across the Sleeping World, but Rufus and Amberley, when checking on the Dreamstone, found it to be safe and secure, baffling them.
    • This trick worked for several weeks, but back in the Pantheon, Ysera and the Protectors of Dreams were also detecting loads of nightmares, too much for them to handle. Eventually, they uncovered the theft of the Pi'illo Dreamstone and discovered the Urpneys had foolishly left behind part of the Whirlyped they had used to get to the Pantheon. After examining it and determining its origins, Ysera opened up a portal to Viltheed and the Protectors stormed the Black Mountain. To say Zordrak was shocked was an understatement, as he knew nothing on who they were or how to fight any of them off. Nether the less, the Protectors recovered the Pi'illo Dreamstone, but Zordrak left a trace of magic on the stone and the day after it was returned, he launched a full out assault on the Pantheon- a "Megattack", as the Uprneys called it.
    • When the Protectors saw this, they made a second visit to the Sleeping World, where they met the Noops and Wutts and decided to take them into the Pantheon to fight off the invaders. The result was that the Megattack failed, but N'Zoth and his Invokers of Nightmares had managed to take over the Court of Gods in the confusion and ascended Zordrak and his minions in that time- which also had the side effect of reviving all the Urpneys Zordrak had killed before the events of his series began. The Court of Gods, once restored, quickly ascended the Dream Maker and his allies as well.
    • As a result of the mandate, the areas of the Sleeping World would be placed of the far parts of the House of Dreams, so the Protectors could see if the Uprneys were up to something. The mandate also ordered that Zordrak could only try to steal the Dreamstone of the Sleeping World, and no other artifacts. As the revived Urpneys included Captain Crigg, who had been one of the victims of Zordrak's killings, Crigg was given a position under Blob and his squad as a fourth member. It wasn’t all bad, though, as the Dream Maker and his allies joined the protectors- though Zordrak and his minions quickly joined the Invokers in response.
  • Exclusive to the inhabitants of the Land of Dreams:
    • The Dream Maker serves as the higest power in the Land of Dreams, and it is he who helps send good dreams to the world. This power has since been spread to the majority of the Pantheon, with the Protectors often aiding him whenever possible. He is frequently pacifistic, but will fight when push comes to shove. He is often accompanied by his pet dog-fish, Albert.
    • Rufus was known for his daydreaming tendencies, which got him in trouble as they caused him to lose focus and be unemployed. But when he joined the Dream Maker, he found a suitable job of creating good dreams. As a result, he is often tasked with guarding the Dreamstone come nightfall.
    • Amberley is Rufus' best friend and was also employed at the job he was working at prior to gaining work under the Dream Maker. Whatever faults Rufus might have, Amberley is there to correct them. She, too, guards the Dreamstone when night comes.
    • Pildit is the leader of the army of a group of forest dwelling creatures called the Wuts, who are there to help the Noops in the rare event the Urpneys manage to get the better of them. He is usually mellow, but has a hard time keeping a sense of humor.
    • Wildit is Pildit's grandmother, and often aids him on patrols. She’s very fearless, despite her age, and enjoys a good adventure. That being said, she is very kind to the younger members of the team.
    • Spildit is Wildit's niece, and is naturally a very curious child. She sometimes, however, has trouble figuring out which side is which. This has lead to the Urpneys tricking her on a few occasions, but it usually doesn’t work out for them.
    • Mr. Blossom is more or less a bystander in the feud, simply preferring to work on the Dream Maker's garden. Sadly, this often gets damaged when the Urpneys invade. As a result, he becomes very grumpy and ill tempered.
    • The Planet Dreamstone is a magical talking planet, and it is there where the Dreamstone was created and where Dream Makers go to restore their powers. As a general rule, she only gets involved if the situation has gotten completely out of hand. She does occasionally require being repaired if she is hit by a meteor.
  • Exclusive to the inhabitants of Viltheed:
    • Zordrak himself was once a member of the Council of Dreams, which the Dream Maker is a part of. However, he began to abuse his power and turn dreams into nightmares. The Council had no choice but to banish him. But soon, he vowed revenge and created Viltheed and mustered an Urpney army. He keeps them in check with fear and power, abusing them whenever they fail. As they can no longer stay dead, he is more prone to killing them now- but he has promised to spare Blob and his squadron.
    • Zordrak's right hand man is Uprgor, a mad scientist who creates all manner of machines for the Uprneys to use. He rarely ever takes up the task himself, but occasionally does so to upstage Blob. He is highly egotistical and prideful of his many inventions.
    • The commanding officer of the Urpneys is Sgt. Blob, a rotund and gung-ho being. Blob personally leads the Uprneys in every attempt they can make to try to steal the Dreamstone, which typically fail. But that doesn’t dampen his spirits one bit.
    • Corps. Frizz and Nug are Blob's two henchmen, and they feel are the cowardly of the Urpneys. Often they don’t want to go on missions, but tag along because they are forced to. They often try to flee Viltheed and hide somewhere in the Pantheon, but it is not long before they are found.
    • The original leader of the Urpneys, Capt. Crigg was known for making many mistakes when dealing with Zordrak, culminating in Zordrak losing his patience after two in one day and hurling him into the Pit of No Return. However, as mentioned, he was brought back after the full ascension revived all the dead Urpneys and was swiftly demoted to serve as a fourth member of Blob's squad. He naturally fears anything that can consume him, as his original death was caused by the Frazznats in the Pit.
    • Zarag, Zordrak's sister, was once sealed in a bottle before Nug foolishly allowed her to escape after toppling it. Zarag does not usually take part in the schemes to steal the stone, as she feels it is not worth her time. She is very vain and simple, at one point she stole the stone just to use as a decoration for her hair.

[up][up][up] Looks good [tup].

Here's the first draft of N. Brio. Like Dr. Cortex, he's a Mad Scientist bent on world domination, though is generally less bumbling than Neo usually is. While he has a bitter rivalry with Cortex due to him taking all the credit for everything he does, to the point that he once sabotaged one of his schemes out of revenge, he's still willing to work with the doctor if they share a goal, though usually neither are happy about it. His main form of combat is his serums that he carries around, which he drinks out of to become a rampaging brute of some kind, though he also often throws them at Crash with varying effects.

  • So is there any other doctor in the pantheon who weaponizes experimental potions like Brio does?

Aj: Perhaps the only deity that both groups would actively oppose is the Nothing, a Cumulonemesis Eldritch Abomination that wants to destroy humanity’s collective imagination, which would include the dreams both groups fight for and over.

First draft for Eric Packer.

He's an emotionally detached rich man who loses a lot of his money following bad financial decisions, is targeted by assassins, and eventually meets a disgruntled former employee from his company that wants to kill him (whether or not he died isn't clear).

Looking for suggestions on what to add.

Eric Packer, God of Absurdly Long Limousines

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/rszcsp.png
  • Quasideity
  • Symbol: His limo
  • Alignment: True Neutral
  • Portfolio: Rich in Dollars, Poor in Sense, Dissonant Serenity, Cryptic Conversation
  • Domains: Wealth, Detachment, Trips
  • Disliked by: Scrooge McDuck
  • What was supposed to be a simple trip to the barber for a haircut ends up being a downward spiral for multi-billionaire Eric Packer. As his fortune gets wiped out amidst bad financial decisions and protests on the streets spearheaded by anti-capitalist activists occur on the side, Packer has philosophical conversations with people that cross paths with him that sometimes ends up being irrelevant in the long run. After getting his haircut half-done, Packer pays a visit to a disgruntled former employee that wants to kill him. As with the other people he met earlier, Packer has a number of philosophical inquiries brought up and while he ends up being dangerously close to getting shot by his would-be assassin, what happened afterwards is a mystery, including whether or not Packer was shot.
  • Regardless of what the outcome of that fateful meeting was, it has been a while since that event happened. Packer woke up inside a building and while it didn’t look too different from that relatively futuristic world he came from, it wasn’t a place that he was familiar with. He was told that this place was known as “The Pantheon” and while he never made any sort of formal arrangement to end up in that place, he was chosen to be part of it thanks to a letter he likely dismissed as having come from a scammer some time ago. The limo that he used for his trip was still around and so was his questionable sense of spending money (and a place as big as the Pantheon would lead to more opportunities for financial squandering), but even among other incredibly rich people in the Pantheon, he’s one of the more detached figures, resulting in meetings with its denizens being infrequent and rather vague if these encounters end up happening.
  • Scrooge Mcduck was one massively rich denizen of the Pantheon who looked at Packer with plenty of scorn. For all of his greedy and stingy tendencies, Scrooge is not only someone with a good sense of how to handle money, but has gone on plenty of adventures with his family (who bring out his better side), and Packer’s careless financial decisions alongside his detached feelings towards others made Scrooge see him as someone who didn’t understand how being a multi-billionaire worked. As part of the inner circle of Mcduck friends and family, Launchpad Mcquack was a limo driver for Scrooge at one point before being a pilot for the family’s adventures, but was quickly told that hanging out with Packer wasn’t worth his time. Not only does Packer engage in philosophical and vague conversations with others (topics that Launchpad would very likely not understand at all), Launchpad’s tendency to crash things would make him a bad candidate for driving around Packer’s limo and he already wasn’t that good with Scrooge’s limo anyways.

Aloy's current title is good enough. I just want to update her temple and file in regards to Forbidden West.

Do I have your blessings in regards to working on Project Zero Dawn?

Also, I also want your blessings in regards to the G.E.C.K.(Garden of Eden Creation Kit)?

Finally, there's the Black Vortex. Can I redo that?

[up] Before you rework Aloy, you need to state why she fits Indifferent Beauty in a paragraph and wait for [tup] so we can judge if she still fits it (not everyone is familiar with her games so explaining why she fits it will be helpful). Overall, you have to propose an idea and obtain approval before you can work on it.

[up][up][up][up][up] Maybe something with Rafe Adler, who's also a billionaire and feels frustrated over the fact that he inherited his parents' fortune instead of having earned his position, to the point where he feels unfulfilled. The main reason he wants to find Libertalia and Henry Avery's treasure is because Rafe wants to prove that he discovered something and deserved it, which sets up his enmity against Nathan Drake.

Perhaps some kind of mention regarding the House of Pantheon/Commerce can be made regarding Packer's poor planning towards the financial markets.


[up][up] Here's a link about the last time we were handling Aloy's situation. If I recall, I recommended Future Primitive as an alternate suggestion after you were contested against Nubile Savage and Obliviously Beautiful and Hamana suggested that Indifferent Beauty can be given to someone else.

Of course, you'd have to explain why Future Primitive works.

@ Roku: With recent criticism of your profiles, I want to say my piece-I have some criticisms towards your Rhaegar Targaryen and Lyanna Stark. First, I think it could do with more interactions outside of the ASOIAF world as it feels a bit too insular right now. It's why with my Greek god reworks I have tried to keep insular interactions to one or two sets of sub-paragraphs. Second, I disagree with their alignment. Rhaegar might fit Lawful Neutral, but I cannot for the life of me see Lyanna fit Lawful Good. Lawful Good is House Stark's alignment, but her behavior and rebellious nature is either Chaotic Good or Chaotic Neutral (how good she is given the whole thing is debatable). Third, while Love Ruins the Realm certainly fits show-wise, in the original source material (which fyi I try to prioritize making or reworking ASOIAF profiles because it's the original narrative) there's still some ambiguity as to what exactly is going on

OK, I've said my Author Tract. Go and do with it what you will

@ Dood: None of Ernesto de la Cruz's songs were really his. They were really his best friend's before he poisoned him when he wanted out and go home to his family. Using his songs, he elevated himself to fame and fortune that continued even after this death until he was exposed as the hack he was.

Dr. Klein of the Think Tank, according to his colleague Dr. 0, stole the theory of "brainial beam oscillation" from the Chinese. However, he'll have you know that's definitely not true because he deleted all evidence to the contrary.

I couldn't help but notice that Alice and Fortinbras have the same trope. What should be done about that?
