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

Rules

Rules. The following are not suggestions or tips, but things that have to be followed:

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

Instructions and Tips

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

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

Divine Ranking System

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

Templates

Template for adding a new deity:

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

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

Template for Dominions profiles:

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

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

Template for Treasure profiles:

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

An image, if possible. Please use official art or a screenshot for a picture.
Appearance: A shortened description of the item's looks with some notable features also mentioned.
Class: Refer to the Treasure Classification System in the Great Treasury.
Alignment: Refers to the objects' role in their story, be it those used by villains or used by the Player Character.
Theme Song (Optional): Not important as compared to Deity and Dominion profiles but a notable mention if there is an accompanying song in use with the object.
Museum Check: A note that says whether the item is viewable by the public.
Portfolio: Tropes associated with the item.
Domains: Things that the item has links to.
Relationships (Optional): Unless the item has a connection with a specific deity, relationships are optional and may not be required.

Mewtwo the Genetic Pokémon is a genetically augmented clone of Mew, itself one of the most powerful Pokémon. Years of horrific gene splicing created an Ultimate Lifeform...and things quickly went out of control. Possibly fatally. Mewtwo later set base in Cerulean Cave. It thinks nothing but battling other opponents and proving its supremacy, and while not the monster when first introduced Mewtwo remains one of the best Pokémon, keeping pace with legendaries in theory its equals (and in a few places, a bit superior). And through Mega Evolution, stat-wise Mega Mewtwo X and Y tie with Mega Rayquaza as the strongest Pokémon except for Eternamax Eternatus (who can't be played anyway).
Mewtwo's personality in the Trope Pantheon is a composite of his (technically genderless, but identifies as male) first anime adaptation and game counterpart. Like in the games he thinks little beyond fighting, but like his anime adaptation he was a creature looking for purpose and who's initial antagonism was feeling used and slighted by the world. The "used" part was from his creators only seeing him as an experiment, and Giovanni (who funded his creation in most canons) seeing him as a tool rather than an equal. He initially planned to Kill All Humans but Ash convinced him of the errors of his ways and that the circumstances of one's birth is irrelevant. The two remain on good terms.
- Giovanni status of Arch-Enemy has been changing as of late. Mewtwo was shocked to learn that a version of Giovanni that was unopposed wields a Mega Mewtwo X or Y; the fact that Mega Evolution requires a strong bond with that Pokémon proves he can be close to his team. Eventually Mewtwo decided he'd try working with him out of shared lust for power and hate. Though still enemies, the two have gained a respect for one another and will stop fighting each other if it they need to fufill some shared ambition.
John Hammond, creator of the Jurassic Bark, was impressed by the personal development Mewtwo went through and proving the potential he has. Mewtwo is mostly ambivalent to this, but he does respect that he treats the dinosaurs he revives with respect rather than as a scientific tool like his own creators did to him. He believes the good doctor would like to study the Red Genesect, who his more feminine interpretation taught respect for the world that the legendary itself had gained. Dr Hammond was intrigued to learn that despite his difficult relationship with humans, Mewtwo might be partially human. While explicit in one canon, it's at most implied in the games. The Genetic Pokémon doesn't care all that much, since as mentioned he finds the circumstances of one's birth irrelevant.
Mewtwo holds a similar respect to Red, who succeeded at capturing him. Granted he could've just used a Master Ball, but to even reach him one has to be Pokémon Champion and deal with very strong wild Pokémon. He holds similar respect for Calem and Serena for reaching a similar level to travel him. By complete contrast, Hunter J is an Arch-Enemy given she sees him as a super-valuable black market target. Fortunately Mewtwo has a powerful ally in Sabrina; she's an introvert turned extrovert Psychic trainer (both speciality and her powers) who briefly worked with him in a Pokémon event.
Some gods have noted that he looks a lot like Giygas before his descent into madness. Mewtwo believes the original Giegue is a reflection of his past misanthropy, and the resultant Transhuman Abomination that is Giygas is if he lost full control of his own power. Giygas is not the only deity Mewtwo regards as his Evil Counterpart either: he feels the same towards the I.Rex for being genetic titans like himself, the former growing out of her creator's control as he did. While the I.Rex is too savage to get along with Mewtwo, he feels the tiniest bit of pity for why she was like that as he was once like her. Additionally, he and Cell see each other as rivals given their "genetically engineereed Ultimate Lifeform" roles. However Mewtwo feels not a nanometer of pity for Cell as he has no Tragic Monster elements; he was built as an Enemy to All Living Things, and embraces the role. Plus he mocked Mewtwo by pointing out when he fought his genetic precursor Frieza he got his ass utterly kicked .
His contempt for Cell seems to further disprove the claims that, he has no no concern for others. His soft side is best seen in his partnership with Anne-Marie; she reminded him of his first and only human friend, a clone girl called Ai/Amber. He witnessed the sight of a little girl talking to animals, a scene that made the Legendary Pokémon instantly recall back to Amber. Her immense empathy and cheerfulness in spite of her tragedy reached his augmented heart, and he gave her a hug while saying he would protect her. Mewtwo's soft side can be seen with animals who were lab experiments like the cast of We3 or the Plague Dogs. And he considers what happened with the Chimeras to be especially offensive. Surprisingly Mewtwo pities the Minotaur, as he is a Tragic Monster born from unnatural and abominable circumstances who's driven to eat flesh out of being such an affront to natural law.
Because of his past trauma Mewtwo has a stark distrust of the Hall of Scientists and Geniuses, and a starker hatred of the Evilutionists of Mad Science as they^note are scientists who embody everything that led to his trauma and initial hatred for humanity. He's especially disgusted by Professor Hojo, who doesn't do himself any favors by experimenting on his own blood. Naturally, Hojo simply sees Mewtwo as a powerful resource and lab creation. While not nearly as repulsive, Dr Frankenstein's past actions and abandonment of his creation bring up Mewtwo's own issues and he hates him too. He also has an ax to grind against Maxwell Lord, who wants to use his psychic powers and his own mind control to get rid of metahumans. Someone tried to pull a similar stunt in the past.
He once held the trope Gone Horribly Right. Or as one of his creators said before he burned with the rest of the lab, "we dreamed of creating the world's most powerful Pokémon...and we succeeded". Currently the holder of the trope is Bass, who doesn't wish to kill his creator, but the desire to impress means he intervenes with any other attempt to take out Mega Man. Mewtwo regards Bass as immature, but he's also well-aware his initial rebellion had a fair amount of immaturity as well. Though Bass didn't regard him as a robot to surpass at first, as another being born artificially as a might fighter the Genetic Pokémon sees him as an opponent to prove his strength. And Bass admits he'd love to prove which of humanity's creations is superior-one of metal, or one of flesh.
Mewtwo's greatest Pokémon rival is Arceus, the Alpha Pokémon. Arceus was the first to exceed him in raw stats, and handed him a definitive defeat. However Mega Evolution allowed Mewtwo to surpass even Arceus, though it was not easy to win a second time. Even then Arceus has told him that while they enjoyed their fight, the Arceus he knows is a piece and not the whole. The genetic experiment has sworn to surpass even that, and is perfectly cognizant of the whole "man/science versus God" subtext that exists in their rivalry. His former greatest rival was Mew, the very being his DNA derived from. They stopped their rivalry after seeing how pointless the clone vs original battle was, but remain aloof to one another.
He has a less intense rivalry with Silvally. Because of their similar backgrounds of scientific creations that..didn't go according to their creators plan they relate to one another. But both were made to be fighters, and Silvally seeks to challenge Mewtwo to prove it is no mere Expy of the older legendary. Mewtwo welcomed this. The Martian Manhunter is another rival and friend, having started by fighting him over the legendary causing a ruckus for reasons lost to time. Mewtwo finds his introspective and calm personality combined with his ability to live among humanity interesting. He was a bit surprised someone as powerful as him was so vulnerable to fire, though as Mewtwo himself has a weakness to bugs perhaps he shouldn't really talk.
Other than challenging others or accepting challenges to combat, Mewtwo prefers a secluded existence and spends most of its time within its shrine. He has accepted many challengers, perhaps the most notable being Shadow. The two are well-aware of their similar backstories, to the point some speculate Mewtwo started the fight by accusing him of "copyright infringement". Through his psychic powers he swiftly beat Shadow by impaling him with a spoon. Afterwards Mewtwo mused to himself that he should try to master the Chaos Emeralds' powers to become "Super Mewtwo". The hedgehog robot Metal Sonic and the ever smug Infinite decided after this they want to do what Shadow failed and defeat the legendary Pokémon. Mewtwo welcomed Metal to try, and simply said nothing to Infinite because he's considers him "pathe tic".
He likes Vegeta. They have a fair bit in common, if in a Red Oni, Blue Oni outlook, and they bonded over owning Shadow and hatred of Frieza. Mewtwo is interested in Goku as a potential sparring partner, however he's a bit more interested in Shigeo Kageyama due to his psychic powers. Mewtwo has shown more interest in Carrie White due to her psychic and anger brought out by trauma, something he's more familiar with, leading to him wanting to aid her in fine-tuning and increasing her powers. Another friend of his he's gained Meruem, and by extension Komugi. Mewtwo used to have similar goals to Meruem and they share the "engineered Ultimate Lifeform" traits.
As one of those who took part in Master Hand's competitions, Mewtwo is often called on by other "Smashers" to join the fray. His arrival is often met with much fanfare by followers. Unfortunately, Mewtwo has been having trouble getting reinvited. The Brawl iteration had him not only have a single trophy in his name but also replaced by Lucario (who has also come back for the 4th tournament). Then, an announcement trailer that had someone similar to Mewtwo revealed that a newcomer named Greninja has also come in. Since both of these Pokémon ascended into the Pantheon, Mewtwo has trained hard to beat them to the ground for taking his spot. However, it was revealed that he was coming back for the fourth Smash Tournament (albeit, as a latecomer, but better than never). His return was met with a bigger fanfare by his followers. As of now, he is currently training to achieve his revenge against the two usurpers.
Some see him as his world's answer to Frankenstein's Monster. It's not something he denies, as they are intelligent beings who turned against their creator and to put it lightly had reason to distrust people. The two like to philosophize together. Along with disliking the Monster's creator, the Genetic Pokémon can't ever get himself to trust Dr Fraken Stein, and he's not exactly wrong to do so. He doesn't trust the SCP Foundation either, as while many of the anomalies they contain are better contained someone like him doesn't like their attitude of everything anomalous needing to be kept under wraps^note for some masquerade. They're leaving Mewtwo alone for now, but don't think he gives a good case for himself by being friendly with The Magician. Mewtwo has defended this friendship by stating he's interested in a kindred spirit who desires to defeat anyone and not something nefarious.
Mewtwo has found himself relating with Laura Kinney and Solid Snake, fellow clones like himself that he's personally impressed with and can understand the trauma. He's generally on good terms with Spiderman's clones and Lea too, though not as much. However just because someone's a close doesn't mean Mewtwo likes them; he cannot imagine why the Grineer consider themselves some supreme species due to their severe Clone Degeneration while he holds an immortal lifeforce. It's one he gets from Mew, who imagines the Grineer are greedily looking at their genetic code for their own villainous goals. Mewtwo straight up dislikes Rau Le Creuset, due to his misanthropic goals as revenge for his doomed nature as a clone. Before anyone calls him a hypocrite, it's BECAUSE he used to be similar as to why he's offended. On a lighter note Mewtwo is annoyed by the imperfect duplicate Bizarro due to how...weird and backwards a copy of Superman he is. Bizarro believes this is a compliment.
Fecto Forge finds itself relating to Mewtwo as a powerful, psychic being pushing the Animalistic Abomination line and having no compassion to others (though that's more true with Fecto). It was amused by Mewtwo having his own "Elfilin" in Mew and tried to bond with Mewtwo over how they both broke out of a lab. Mewtwo refuses to bond with Fecto though, due to being asocial and seeing Fecto too violent and destructive.
Another person who finds himself relating to Mewtwo is Agent 47, being that they were both created as genetic experiments whose creators sees them as a tool for their own end. The stoic bald hitman can also relate to his struggles in finding a purpose upon discovering their clone origins. While 47 does show hints of compassion compared to someone like Fecto, Mewtwo still can't find himself bonding with him either given his profession and that Mewtwo tries to distance himself from such violence. Nevertheless, they would come to a mutual understanding with each other as they go their separate ways.
Was recently embarrassed at how he was captured by a girl named CLY on the first turn at full health. With a Timer Ball. LOLRanger laughed for days on end at the initial encounter. Later, he became major target of interest for The Mob as they have tried several times to capture Mewtwo only to fail. He takes great amusement in taunting them every time they fail to capture him. Also, not a fan of Roahm Mythril for besting him with a team of unevolved, first-stage Pokémon. His displeasure was mitigated when Roahm admitted afterward that he tended to side with him during Master Hand's competitions, though he still doesn't like to think about the experience.

Victini the Victory Pokémon is a Mythical Pokémon from the region of Unova. This Psychic/Fire is called such for a good reason: containing unlimited energy that it can share with people, it's said that Victini can grant anyone victory. Its ability, Victory Star, boosts the accuracy of itself and its allies. Victini has a lot of the "V for victory sign" in its design; its ears are a V shape, it makes the V sign and has the signature move V-Create. In the main timeline Victini was put in Liberty Garden for its own protection from greedy humans, like Team Plasma.
- Another well-known depiction of Victini, was born and raised in the Kingdom of the Vale and friend of the king who's sons would tame Reshiram and Zekrom. However they went to war over different views, so their father moved the Sword of the Vale to a nearby mountain with Victini's help to stop the Dragon force from destroying Unova. Sadly he couldn't stop Victini from being sealed in Eindoak Town for a millennium. A descendant of the People of the Vale, Damon, tried to use Victini to return the Sword back to the Vale, but since moving said castle could result in her death, Ash and his friends had to put a stop to this. The out of control Dragon force flung the castle into space, so Victini saved Ash and co with V-create, destroying the corrupted pillars of protection and gaining her freeedom.
Identifying as female, the Trope Pantheon's Victini is a mix of her anime and game incarnation. This has the curious effect of Victini remembering both her service in the Kingdom of the Vale, and being protected in Liberty Garden; the latter is a clear analogue for the Liberty Island that the Statue of Liberty is found on. The fact that Victini is from the equivalent of New York City caught the attention of none other than Theodore Roosevelt, a New York native and governor before becoming vp then president. Knowing the evil out there who would exploit her powers and equally impressed by them, he used his political influence to increase protection for her. Fellow New Yorker Alex was interested in helping her as well, mainly seeing it as a mix of "the right thing to do" and comparing his home to Unova.
Back in the day Team Plasma tried to take Victini from Liberty Garden. Being the true leader and the epitome of the selfish hypocrisy in the team, Ghetsis was high on Victini's hit list. J and Giovanni are major enemies of hers because they sell and exploit rare and powerful Pokémon, but Ghetsis happens to be closer and more interested in her. N mused that while the reason Victini was isolated is what his adoptive father would try to exploit so he thinks Humans Are Bastards, a human still made a garden to protect them so it's more a lesson that Humans Are Flawed. Because of his love of Pokémon N is protective of Victini. She was impressed that he managed to gain the trust and capture one of the Tao trio.
Having been sealed away for one reason or another, Victini holds a modicum of pity towards the Minotaur. Granted, his unnatural existence means keeping him locked up or just putting him out of his misery is the preferable option, but it speaks more for her empathetic nature. Less controversially, Victini is friendly with Rudolph because she feels he was treated unfairly for his red nose when he ultimately proved himself valiant. The House of Commerce speculates Victini was sealed for a good reason beyond her own safety; if she can truly produce unlimited energy, the impact on energy-based industries with her around could be catastrophic.
Her powers, V-shaped ears and just showing the V-sign in official portraits are why she is the official goddess of the V-Sign. Some have doubted the claim any trainer who wields Victini will always win, especially when you consider the possibility of two Victini fighting one another...unless of course that isn't an option. Though she's still a popular figure among the House of Sports, the Court of the Gods act a lot stricter when it comes to her interactions with the House of Sports or Gaming because they feel her powers would count as cheating. A more legal use of her powers is aiding those within the Hall of Aim and Skill; the gameplay attributes of her Victory Star ability is boosting her allies' accuracy. She'll accept aiding people there in their aim, if it means she gets to have macarons. Her ability of Victory Star is why she's valued among XCOM, in order to aid in their legendary accuracy.
Victini has shown to get along with Sora and Gentaro very well, due to their own cheerful personalities, especially towards their (many) friends. Gentaro has taught Victini how to do his signature handshake and they tend to give off a V-Sign whenever they play together. Any friend of Gentaro's is a friend of Victini, so Victini has been introduced to the Avatars of Friendship and travels with them whenever they go out to befriend others. Unfortunately, Bayley heading off into a Face–Heel Turn has caused problems with the Avatars. The Kamen Rider Club were interested in seeing Victini up close, with Miu, Tomoko and Yuki getting into a fight to see who would be the first to feed her macarons. Ryusei Sakuta finds Victini to be adorable too, even though he won't admit it out loud.
A Psychic/Fire type, Victini's signature move is V-Create. It is an immensely powerful Fire move, but causes Victini's speed and both defense stats to drop by a stage. The explosive power of the move has some wonder if Victini is meant to be like a nuke going off. With its limitless energy and guaranteeing victory, some speculate its analogous to nuclear power. She would rather not think about it or consider herself destructive. The Lich has considered her potential for destruction and believes zombifying her to serve as his minion would be worth his time, and naturally she wants nothing to do with him. The Lich embodying a nuclear bomb seems to have started his interest in her.
Surprisingly for someone like him Zeus has a real soft spot for Victini. The Mythical Pokémon reminds him of one of his and Athena's faithful attendant Nike. She is the goddess of victory, as Victini is the Pokémon of victory. Being the bastion of compassion she is, Hestia convinced the two of them to be on their best behavior around the Mythical so that she will aid them whenever they're the "hero" or "good" part of Anti-Hero and Good Is Not Nice. This includes not getting mad they can't have Victini as a partner when she's already allied with Gentaro. As a Fire type Pokémon she was interested in Hestia's own powers over fire, and was pleasantly surprised to see fire be used so comforting.
Because of her Fire type Victini has a minor position in the Hall of Fire and Heat. Some of the members there intimidate her, though: she thinks Ragnaros is a bit too zealous when it comes to burning things, and Surtr is flat out insane in her eyes. The Fire Giant simply replied "I prefer the term fatalistic". The Lovecraftian entities representing the Cold Flames also creep her out, mainly because they're such an unnatural antithesis to fire as she both knows and witnesses. Both Ragnaros and Surtr found her concern one-sided, as they were impressed by her potent pyromancy; with 180 base Attack, V-Create is the strongest non-Z move Fire type attack (and given STAB, is effectively stronger than Explosion).
As Victini can give power to other Pokémon and it is said that trainers with Victini can always win, she is popular among the House of Sports. While she's fond of good gods in said house, she's creeped out by Paul London who thinks that Victini is "The White Rabbit" that leads the Rabbit Tribe even though 1) she's not a rabbit and 2) she's not white^note. Victini's response was to get Brian Kendrick to put Paul London into the BURNING HAMMER to shut him up. Paul eventually stopped chasing after her when he found the true White Rabbit...and subsequently sacrificed people to appease him. Now she wants nothing to do with this creep.
Her dislike of being compared to a rabbit only increased after Elmer Fudd assumed she was a rabbit and went out hunting. Unsurprisingly he was outsmarted by the Mythical, who actually came to feel a bit bad for him due to how much of an Ineffectual Sympathetic Villain he is. Bugs Bunny was somewhat interested in the "not-really-a-rabbit" due to her luck powers. Victini's bad luck with rabbits eventually stopped as she wisely learnt enough about the Killer Rabbit before daring to intrude on its territory. Not that she couldn't fight the Killer Rabbit, but it's best to be safe than sorry.
As her abilities to bring about victory count could be said to count under probability manipulation, she is interested in the House of Luck and Fortune and how it may relate to her. That said, there might be some exaggeration at her claims of ensuring victory. There doesn't seem to be evidence against the unlimited/infinite energy, which would probably be akin to the infinite energy drive Android 17 and 18 have. Dr Gero took notice and is planning to either "adapt" Victini into a theoretical Android 21, or incorporate its DNA into a new bio-android for his evil schemes. 17 and 18 certainly don't want that to happen, and they've allied with Victini to help prevent this and have a good sparring partner.
Interestingly Victini is the only Mythical Pokémon (or any Pokémon) to appear in their native dex before the starters. Specifically, she's Unova Dex entry number 000; Missingno jokes were inevitable. She isn't sure how to feel about the Glitch Entity, and being so...unnatural has her stay her distance. The glitch is more bemused than anything with the number thing. This ended up catching the attention of Lord Vyce. He didn't assume any connection between Victini and his most hated enemy, but he was interested in capturing and exploiting Victini for his purposes. Vyce's own use of "V" in his ship and armor might have had a part in his decision as well. Naturally, the Mythical Pokémon wants nothing of his schemes.

Friends are supposed to be there for each other. If your friend likes a pencil case, you get it for them. If your friend likes your new shoes, you give them to her. But if your friend asks you to steal a crazy music box from a thrift store, then it’s time you start questioning your friendship with them. That is what happened to these three schoolgirls from Los Angeles. On Anne Boonchuy’s 13th birthday, her friend Sasha Waybright suggested they ditch school and her family party to steal an item called the “Calamity Box” from a thrift store at the behest of their third friend, Marcy Wu. The box is supposedly an Interdimensional Travel Device... and it worked a little too well, as they found themselves in different corners of Amphibia, a world populated by anthropomorphic frogs, toads, and salamanders. Thus began a five-month adventure to reunite and get back home to Earth. But until then, a little fun couldn’t hurt, right?
- As for where they ended up, Anne was transported to the frog town of Wartwood, initially treated as a monster by the citizens, but taken in by a farmer family and allowed to stay in their basement. She learned to become a more responsible, nice person and The Heart of her found frog family, and won over the hearts of the whole town. Meanwhile, Sasha was taken prisoner at Toad Tower, but proved to Captain Grime she could lead his warriors in battle to conquer Amphibia. She was always a Control Freak, and now she has the army she can control to her heart’s desire. Finally, Marcy was taken into the city of Newtopia, and became King Andrias’ trusted ranger. Her intelligence helped him defeat a colony of barbari-ants, recharge the stones on the Calamity Box be deciphering ancient text, and notably, she’s the only one who has ever beat the King at Flipwart, Amphibia’s equivalent of Chess. Eventually, the girls would reunite, but it wasn’t a happy one.
- When Sasha visited Anne in Wartwood with the Toad Army, she tried to convince her to give up on her found frog family and return home. They had a falling-out, and Hop Pop was almost sacrificed during a banquet at Toad Tower. Anne had finally stood up to her control freak of a friend after years of being pushed around. Eventually, Anne made way for Newtopia and met up with Marcy, and she helped her recharge the stones on the Calamity Box to reopen the portal back home. Sasha accompanied them, she and her Captain Grime supposedly turning over a new leaf after the battle of Toad Tower. Unfortunately, Sasha slipped back or her old ways fought them again, but only to reveal that King Andrias was Evil All Along, and was using Marcy to reclaim power as a multiversal conquerer. He also happened to reveal that Marcy sent them to Amphibia on purpose, with the Freudian Excuse of her parents moving out of state, as she didn’t want their friendship to be torn apart. But by the time everyone’s true colors were revealed, the damage was done, and the King literally stabbed Marcy in the back before she could fix her mistake. And then she was revived and turned into a host for the Core, the evil mastermind behind the entire conflict. And so, Anne and Sasha had to make amends and fight the possessed Marcy, now “Darcy”, to save her, and fix their friendship once and for all.
- Overall, their conflicts lead the Court of the Gods to ascend them under the title of Goddess of Friends Fighting. It’s not something they’re happy to be reminded of, but they acknowledge that they deserve the title. At least they didn’t need to use the music box to visit a new world this time, but music box or not, the Calamity Trio has agreed to never split up and fight in opposing factions ever again. The Pantheon certainly doesn’t need a multiversal war breaking out.
Upon their ascension, the girls immediately became friends with any amphibian deities they could find, starting with Kermit the Frog. In fact, Anne can recall meeting an expy of the famous Muppet in Amphibia named “Crumpet”. Kermit was quite interested in meeting him once he found out. Princess Tiana reminded Anne of a friend of hers back home, museum curator Dr. Jan, if only because she sounds similar. Tiana is conflicted on Amphibia, as her experience as a frog wasn’t as much a fun adventure. Sasha was quite interested in Mr. Toad, though surprisingly, she wasn’t disappointed to learn that this toad wasn’t a brutish warrior. Though, both are quite good at being reckless and aggressive, and she sometimes goes on joyrides with him throughout The River in his stolen car. Greninja also became a quick friend, especially to Marcy, who tends to go with the Fragile Speedster class in any game she plays. Sadly, the Ninja Pokemon doesn’t have the time to hear Marcy’s geeking out over its home series.
Anyone who reminds the girls of The Core is automatically an enemy, no questions asked. Not only did The Core trick King Andrias into starting the whole mess in the first place, and not only did it try to destroy the world by crashing the moon into it, but it possessed Marcy and used her body as a host. The second point in particular has made the girls fearful of Majora and the Skull Kid, as they also tried to crash their moon into the world. The Harvesters also became an enemy for being Planet Looters; Andrias’ frobot army came about through mass purging of Amphibia’s resources, turning it into a Polluted Wasteland. At least Andrias learned from his mistakes, and helped to rebuilt the world he destroyed, but the Calamity Trio has agreed that trying to reason with the Harvesters is a lost cause.
Applies to Anne:
- Anne warped under the blue stone of Heart on the Calamity Box, and thus had the responsibility of keeping people together. It did take a while for her to get along with the frogs of Wartwood; they used to see her as a monster. But through selfless actions, like renovating a broken-down restaurant into a beautiful Thai-Frog fusion eatery, saving the town from toad tax collectors, and learning the value of teamwork to help the town win a Bugball game, she won over the whole town’s hearts and was nominated for Frog of the Year, despite not being a frog. When she had to leave, the town erected a statue in her honor. Currently, Anne is working out plans with the Court to get the Plantars ascended, so they can reunite.
- She was the only one to retain her connection to her stone after recharging them at the temples, because she didn’t charge hers all the way. This lead to instances of unveiling Super Saiyan-style powers, in which her hair turns blue and she gains super speed and strength. The Saiyan deities of the Pantheon, including Son Goku himself, were fascinated and asked her for a demonstration once, but Anne declined, because using them tires her out. She did promise she’ll give a demonstration if ever the Pantheon is under attack.
- Anne is fearful of Grunkle Stan. While the curator is a friendly guy, he reminds her of another wax museum curator in Amphibia who looks and sounds just like him. This curator, Ponds, tricked Anne into becoming the star attraction of the museum when she and the Plantars were low on cash, but “star attraction” in this case meant “another display”. The wax museum, as it turned out, didn’t have models, but real creatures frozen in wax. Stan was rather taken aback when he heard about this, though he is quite fascinated that he has an alternate universe counterpart. Ponds also just so happens to have an assistant simply named Frog Soos, piquing Stan’s interest further.
- Being a chosen one from a foreign land whose best friend became her rival, Miaka Yuuki made allies with Anne. It helps that both girls are underachieving schoolgirls who learned to be selfless heroines on their adventures in their respective new worlds. The girls occasionally share each other’s stories, and the Priestess of Suzaku is quick to note the similarities between Yui and Sasha.
- It’s worth mentioning that, in Amphibia’s continuity, Anne died saving the world from The Core’s Colony Drop, but a deity created a clone of her right beforehand, and sent her back to the world. Supposedly, this clone has the same mind and personality as Anne; a Body Backup Drive, if you will. It is unknown if the Anne in the Pantheon is Old Anne or New Anne, but please do not ask her. It might trigger an existential crisis.
Applies to Sasha:
- Sasha warped under the pink gem of Strength on the Calamity Box, and as a former control freak, it was everything she could have asked for. Okay, she didn’t ask to be locked up in a prison in Toad Tower and switch to a diet of bugs, but in the end, she managed to prove to Captain Grime and his toad army that “hummuses” are more useful than they thought. Unfortunately, Sasha’s quest to prove her strength to Anne instead alienated her when the former tried to kill her frog friends, and took King Andrias’ throne in a coup. All of this changed when she discovered the Awful Truth that the king was evil, but Anne wasn’t willing to believe her after everything she’s done. Consumed by guilt over driving her best friend away, Sasha made things right by traveling back to Wartwood and leading a resistance to take down the dark king once and for all.
- Before she could ascend, Grime made sure she relinquished her sword and hidden daggers. You wouldn’t know initially, but Sasha hid daggers in her shoulder pads, ponytail, and boot... a little too much in her boot, though, to the point where, upon disarming herself, the Court of the Gods’ first question was, “How did you even walk?” Sasha’s response?
  Sasha: Funny! Grimesy asked the same thing!
- It is wise not to remind Sasha of her old controlling tendencies. She became a psychologist in order to teach others not to repeat her mistakes. So when Yuuki Terumi and Johann Liebert trolled her about it, she retaliated, swords drawn. Things got ugly fast, and Anne had to unleash her Calamity powers briefly to quell the chaos. Goku was watching, as promised.
Applies to Marcy:
- Marcy warped under the green gem of Wit on the Calamity Box, and how appropriate that she was the smartest of the trio. She can decipher ancient text and is a master at tabletop games. That’s not to say she’s elegant, though; Anne can tell you that Marcy is the clumsiest person she knows. The very first thing she did upon warping into Newtopia was falling down a flight of stairs because she was distracted by the awe of the city. (Luckily, the newts have free public healthcare!) She almost repeated her mistake in the Pantheon, but luckily, Anne and Sasha stopped her.
- How clumsy is Marcy? Back on Earth, she overflowed an ice cream cone, was distracted during a school play, almost hit her face against a locker, only to fall into a garbage can instead, shaved Anne bald while giving her a haircut (“Too short?”) and she once walked into a zoo during a snake escape. To top it all off, she went Beyond the Impossible during the final battle against The Core by tripping in the vacuum of space! Thus, while the other girls are Lesser Goddesses in their depowered states, Marcy is a Quasideity for her clumsiness.
- NEVER BRING HER NEAR DEITIES THAT REMIND HER OF THE CORE. She still hasn’t gotten over being possessed and trapped within her own mind while The Core helped carry out Andrias’ evil plan. This also goes for her “Darcy” alias. Unlike Sasha, however, she won’t violently lash out, but she will be brought to tears, and you’ll instead incur the wrath of Sasha, the one who saved her from The Core.
- In Amphibia, Marcy rode Joe Sparrow, a giant bird, as a steed. Sadly, she couldn’t find him in the Hall of Birds, but she did find a flock of The Birds, who tried to kill her on sight. It brought back bad memories of almost getting eaten by a cardinal while wearing a caterpillar fur coat.
  - In general, all birds from Amphibia (with the exception of insects that act like birds) are large predators of the amphibians and bugs, with the exception of Joe Sparrow. A giant heron ate The Plantars’ parents, and they almost ate Anne’s parents when Andrias invaded Earth. The Calamity Trio may never look at birds the same way again...

Welcome to Amphibia, a world of humanoid frogs, toads, and newts. Within the swamp, you’ll find the humble, yet worn-down frog town of Wartwood, home to this family of farmers struggling to make a living while avoiding any chaos; but in a Death World like Amphibia, there’s plenty of that to go around. Hopediah Plantar and his grandchildren, Sprig and Polly, were just minding their business one day, doing their usual town routine, when Sprig heard of a beast in the forest and went to take it down with his slingshot. He then tripped a trap, and found out this “beast” was actually a human teenage girl, Anne Boonchuy. The actual beast was a giant red mantis. Sprig was the first on Amphibia to befriend Anne after she saved him from the mantis. Working together to take it down, it convinced Hopediah, or “Hop Pop” as his grandchildren call him, that Sprig is responsible, and he also offered Anne to stay in his basement as she looked for a way home. And good thing to, because Anne would later help them take down a tyrannical king who would have destroyed their home, and livelihood, beyond repair.
It was a quiet day in Wartwood, when all of a sudden, a portal opened up! Thankfully, it wasn’t from the Calamity Box, but it was colored blue, pink, and green; indeed, the Calamity Trio had arrived, and reunited with their old friends. Anne, Sasha, and Marcy told the Plantars everything about the “Trope Pantheons”, and while Sprig and Polly were invested, Hop Pop stood in bewilderment towards the “Gods” and “TV Tropes” nonsense, being a man (er, frog?) who grew up in a world without religion or technology. The girls attempted to coax the frogs into another adventure, but they were understandably hesitant, since they almost died on their last adventure. They ultimately agreed once Polly learned about the Hall of Robots and started geeking out. Thus, the Court of the Gods ascended the Plantars under the title of Divine Family of Frog People.

@ RJ: Roahm Mythril was deleted a while ago so he should be removed. But other than that,

Kinda sort-of trying to get back into the flow of things. I stumbled upon my Aizawa draft again, at least.

7th Dragon Parties^members for Lazy Backup

Characters: The customizable parties of the 7th Dragon series who are tasked with eliminating dragons lest they ensure their world's destruction.
Reasoning: No matter how many party members there are, only the ones in the battle matter (4 for the first game, 3 onward), and if they get wiped it's a mission failure. There are no mechanics for them to tag in with the frontliners at any point in battle either. It's particularly egregious in III Code: VFD considering there are reserve teams that can support the first team, including being able to actively attack enemies on the field with Buddy Skills and Unison Attacks^note, but otherwise follows the aforementioned rules.

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

@SoaringEagle — Make sure that you ask for specific suggestions regarding your profile drafts if you want more success in getting feedback. For reference, see this post.

Posting a beta draft for the Chimeras, which I've adopted from TheWikiaEditor (I'm inclined to think he already got an approval for them, so correct me if I'm wrong). For suggestions, any aliens who actually resided in Earth during ancient times, alien invasions that were won by aliens, those who were infected by or succumbed to a virus that converts them, armies whose expansion I numbers revolve on assimilating others without consent, and just generally anyone whose dealt with an alien invasions?

Any other ideas are welcome, of course.

In an alternate future where World War I was won by the Western Powers without the intervention of the United States and History taking a different course thanks to this, World War II never occurs, or at least not in the way you would have expected. It all began in the last weeks of 1949 with reports of Russia suddenly becoming attacked and destroyed in what is called "The Angry Night" by witnesses, with reports of an infection and massacres taking place thanks to a mysterious, yet savage race, soon to be dubbed The Chimera. Sometime after what is said to be a "Deathless Plague", human armies prepare to fight back against this rising threat, only turning worse when the Chimera manages to overrun Europe and infest the United Kingdom. Despite the United States sending in trained forces to combat what they assume to be an invading Russian Army, they are unprepared for what they actually face, with the American Troops quickly being slaughtered save for one, Nathan Hale, surviving mainly thanks to being immune against the Chimeran virus and retaliating against the invading Chimeran forces before being captured and returned to the United States.
- Despite their loss in Britain, the Chimera quickly plotted to recover and kickstart a new invasion in the western hemisphere, quickly decimating Canada and South America before attacking the United States on both sides. Despite information on the hostile race being exploited and Hale now being promoted to Lieutenant and grouped alongside a pack of like-minded soldiers to find Russian scientist Fyodor Malikov whom they think can create a cure to the virus, the Chimeran army, now led by an Angel named Daedalus, fight back more aggressively and gradually destroy the United States with little setback. Even with Malikov being found and secured, Hale's team is systematically killed during the fight, and Hale himself succumbs to the virus and becomes a Chimera after killing Daedalus, ultimately being executed by his squad's only survivor, Joseph Capelli. It's also revealed that the Chimera were not a freak viral infection accidentally released by Russia like everyone else assumed, but rather a lifeform from space that actually colonized the Earth 60 million years ago and left the planet after a devastating war against another alien race, leaving behind the Chicxulub Crater and a series of peculiar towers buried underneath certain major cities as evidence of this historical event. They returned to Earth via a virus-infused meteor hitting in Siberia at 1908 before making their presence known in 1927.
- Daedalus's death was nothing more than just a minor setback with the goal of him and fellow Angels to bring in the Pure Chimera still going ahead without hindrance. With Hale's death and the Chimera's attacks being seemingly unstoppable, the United States crumbled and billions of people lost their lives at that point, though years later, Hale's body did produce a vaccine that eliminated any chance of anybody converting into a Chimera, though by that point, the Chimera had already dominated the world and were now scouting out any remaining humans to kill whilst also planning to bring the Pure Chimeras to Earth via a wormhole to terraform the planet into their liking, even it if meant killing any other species other than themselves. Left with no other choice, Joseph Capelli made one final attempt to Fyodor Malikov to put a stop to Chimeran dominance, with part of Capelli's motivation being to provide a hopeful future for his wife and son. Despite severe setbacks and hardships, including Malikov's death, Capelli managed to destroy the central tower that sustained the Chimera's reign and seal their portal connection with the Pure Chimeras, finally severing their advantage and allowing the remaining human survivors to fight back to properly reclaim Earth from their alien invaders.
The Pantheon has had a rich history regarding extraterrestrials, ranging from typical bestial beings without sapience, to usual invaders and even benevolent, inspiring heroes who have earned Mankind's adoration. Even so, most of them have a defined background and origin, something that is difficult to say about the Chimera, whose origins are just as vague and mysterious as how and when they ascended into the Pantheon. The closest that can be said were recorded sights from the early days of the Pantheon's recovery period from a seemingly endless war and their response was to viciously lash out and attack whoever they encountered. Most of these sightings either led to death or survival… for only a brief amount of time before supposed survivors developed symptoms that eventually morphed them into additional Chimera. However, despite their newfound notoriety, the alien race was about to face off against a tougher army, one that would not go down as easily as the ones the Chimera forces did in the alternate history they came from. They engaged in a brutal battle, which ended with the Chimeras retreating to another planet to terraform whilst a vaccine to the Chimera Virus was created to treat patients. Though their battle and influence in the Pantheon are nowhere finished.
The Chimera, at first glance, appears to be what you'd expect for the generic negative interpretation of aliens; invasive, aggressive, and taking no stop in attacking others and wanting to destroy and colonize their world and belongings. And for the most part, this is true, they are feral, brutal, and uncompromising towards anyone they deem an enemy. However, one thing they are distinct for, and why they were so successful and feared, was their ability to infect and corrupt others into suddenly changing into their kind without consent and overriding their mind. Essentially, with one Chimera dead, they will infect others to add to their ranks, and their technology is as advanced as aliens can get, albeit with some degree of primitiveness, given the Chimera's warlike and savage outlook. Don't be fooled into thinking killing and infecting is everything they think; some Chimeras, especially Angels, and Daedalus himself, are exceptionally intelligent and plan events and actions ahead. With the right leadership, the Chimera are some of the deadliest aliens in the Pantheon, though that doesn't prevent them from having competition regardless.
- Chimeras come in different forms, shapes, and sizes, ensuring that the entire army is diverse and encompassing all sorts of occupations that are relevant to their goals from engineering and planning strategies to rounding out those affected with the Chimeras Virus and participating in invasions, seized, and massacres. Land, sea, sky, every possible place is something the Chimera can somehow occupy and make a settlement under, though the most notable is a series of towers that they use to communicate with each other and house their main military operations in, though the biggest tower is designed for the express purpose of creating a wormhole to their previous homeworld with which a Pure Chimera can migrate from. To everyone's dismay, the towers have been in the Pantheon, having been buried underneath the Earth for millions of years until the Chimera suddenly resurfaced. However, the Pantheon means the Chimera can experiment and come up with new strains to diversify their army and possibly bring their fights to their favor. They're doing everything they can to make things tough for everyone involved in their battle against this hostile alien army.
Given their enmity towards, well, everyone else that is them, the Chimera are an enemy first and an ally to virtually no one, considering they simply want to terraform whatever planet they're in so they can colonize and conquer it for themselves. None hate the Chimeras more than the Imperium of Mankind, who have spent thousands of years fighting against extraterrestrial forces and become jaded and xenophobic as a result, regardless of their noble intentions. Having seen numerous horrific acts back in their day and while not too fazed by their actions, the Imperium quickly declared the aliens to be guilty of crimes against Humanity and made a decree that they will not stop their fight until virtually every single Chimera is dead, even those who are mildly affected by the virus and are taking treatment. Of course, the God-Emperor seeks to eliminate the threat as soon as possible, recognizing that remaining unchecked would prove a fatal mistake for humans, guessing that the Chimera is more than willing to do anything to win their fights. As a result, he personally takes it upon himself to engage in battle against the aliens, determined to preserve Humanity and their legacy, even if it means committing genocide against a universally malicious race.

The Daleks are just as if not more a xenophopic alien race who at best would only respect them for their hatred. I imagine the few sardonic Daleks like their Prime Minister would chide them as "poor imitators"

I have a few new ideas I want to try one day. Which of them works, which of them doesn't?

Shorty the Squirrel, God of Re-Explaining The Situation For The Audience: Shortfuse the Cybernik was once an ordinary squirrel who Robotnik took and stuck within his advanced new Badnik model, however he was able to rebel and retain control of his senses. He then swore to get back at Robotnik. Shorty explaining his backstory and where he's up to right now is a Running Gag, him even saying it with people who know who he is. It's one of the main points of mockery too by the fans
Nikolai Ivanovich Krylov, God of Delusionally Believing Oneself To Be A Historical Figure (Hall of Insane Behavior)-Rurik II is the leader of the state of Kemerovo in Central Siberia that has trappings of mysticism. He is a Bunny-Ears Lawyer who believes he is the reincarnation of Rurik, legendary founder of the Kievan Rus' and goes to the effort of recreating the old kingdom. While on his death bed it's implied he may have been Obfuscating Insanity, it's still left ambiguous if this is true or he had a Moment of Lucidity. As far as everyone else is concerned, he still thinks he's Rurik II
Bishop Mozguz, God of Religious Zealotry: Mozguz is the Arc Villain of the Conviction Arc. A literal Bible-thumping lunatic, he is determined to uphold the good word in a Knight Templar way. He commits acts of Spanish Inquisition torture against heretics, slams his face in prostration and general over-zealous religious views. The sad thing is that he is still less vile than the cultists he's trying to purge and thinks the horrible things he does can expiate victims' sins

Have an idea for a proposal:

Krang for Adaptational Species Change: In his first appearance, the 1987 cartoon, Krang was a reptilian criminal scientist that was turned into a brain creature, forcing him to wear a humaniod mech suit to do basically anything. Despite his resemblance to the Utoms from the original comics, he wasn't initially a part of their species thanks to them being Adapted Out. However, due to his resemblance to them, most adaptations turn him into an Utom, a few times even turning him into the leader of them.

That could work as well.

I don't think it'd be that necessary, TBH. It's one more incarnation of Krang and while that's to be noted, the TMNT's status as a Long Runner ensures that there always will be more to write about. I'd daresay we can ascend him and later add whatever info comes from the new movie anyways.

Their story begins during the Industrial Revolution, which this universe's Alchemists Guild was in very strong opposition. To this end, they resorted to trying to summon demons, among them the Demon King Bael, in order to scare the masses away from relying on technology, and their method involved crystals filled with demon energy called Shards. They infused these Shards to abducted orphaned children, making them Shardbinders, and Miriam and Gebel were among them. These children were raised to fight demons and disciplined to obey the guild. Years later, the time came for the summoning ritual, and the Guild would successfully summon their demon army at the expense of all their Shardbinders, save two. Miriam and Gebel would miraculously survive, he by sheer willpower and fortune and having an exorcist in his ancestry, and she by being put into slumber by the repentant Alfred in order to cut in half the power of the ritual, thus denying at least the summoning of Bael. The Guild's plan was a colossal backfire as their intended plan did not come to fruition (and caused a calamity), the Church (after quelling that calamity) executed its higher-ups, and the remnants would be hunted down in their own Guild by none other than Gebel himself (though Alfred would escape before then). The last waking Shardbinder vanished after that, Miriam continued sleeping, and the Guild apprentice Johannes—who was close to the two—studied the effects of the shards with Dominique Baldwin, an agent of the Church, and predicted that Miriam would wake in 10 years.
- Just as that time came, Gebel returned, brought a castle called the Hellhold with him, and summoned a legion of demons to ravage Earth in revenge for what mankind has done to the Shardbinders so long ago. With Miriam awake, she, Johannes, and Dominique (the former two on a galleon, the latter separately) set off to Arvantville, which was close to the Hellhold. As the only other Shardbinder left, Miriam has to be the one to put a stop to Gebel, and the two had even made a promise long ago that if either of them lost their way, the other would stop them. On the way, they were beset by demons, and upon vanquishing them, their Shards forced themselves into Miriam, granting her their powers, but also running the risk of the crystals overtaking her body though this is put into question given the source of this factoid. However, upon Miriam and Gebel first meeting each other again after so long, it seems he's forgotten that promise, and wants Miriam to join him so they can sequester themselves away from mankind. Naturally, she refused, and he dared her to ask him again after absorbing more Shards before departing.
- Throughout her journey, she would be forced to absorb Shards from slain demons to acquire their powers, cross paths with Guild remnant and Johannes' master Alfred who seems obsessed with reclaiming the Liber Logaeth, cross blades with the Oriental demon hunter Zangetsu (and eventually earn his trust), help villagers with their woes, trade with Johannes, Dominique, and a few other kooky benign demons for wares, supplies, and services. All the while, Gebel waited, hoping Miriam would see things his way and join her side.
- In the end, the True End where Gremory is outed as being the one actually controlling Gebel, he's just bait for Miriam who's the true target the entire time, as well as Dominique being revealed to have been working against Miriam all along, Gebel returned to his senses and thanked Miriam only to fully crystallize in the end, Miriam put a stop to the real mastermind Gremory (with Zangetsu's help), the woman behind her Dominique, who sought to summon Bael in order to kill God due to losing faith in Him, then had the Hellhold sent back from whence it came by Johannes following instructions left by Alfred.
While there's an alternate tale featuring almost all the main cast where Gebel does survive, this Miriam and Gebel come from one timeline, and following their ascension is a Tear Jerker of a reunion given there was no way to save Gebel from death. Still, they have Ghost Memories of that timeline, which can be confusing given that Gebel and Alfred are still alive in that mortal realm^* and Dominique isn't secretly evil, as well as the ability to Mascotify.
Applies to both:
- With the help of Johannes and some of Alfred's suggested improvements, Miriam no longer has to worry about the crystals from overtaking her body, and the same privilege is now applied to Gebel post-resurrection. All the Shards acquired thus far is all that will be available. There will be no extra Shards in the Pantheon, and both wouldn't have it any other way.
- In terms of their residency, Miriam and Gebel's temple takes the form of Arvantville where Miriam stayed during her battle against the demons, and a few elements of the Hellhold, including Gebel's throne room, O.D.'s library after Miriam ended up taking him in as a servant when she forgot to return a certain book to him before wrapping things up with Gremory, and he engaged her in a battle that she just barely won, and Todd's room. The latter elements are hidden away so as to not distress the villagers, and Gebel's status as instigator of the incident is kept a secret from them; all they know about Gebel is that he's a friend of Miriam, and that he has a terrible affliction. Johannes resides at the village with Alfred.
  - Miriam was surprised to see the Demon Barber in her and Gebel's temple. He responds that he still needs her help to cut 666 hair styles, and that such a feat was unresolvable during their time at the Hellhold. Hopefully he'll have better luck in the Pantheon, and hopefully she might discover more hairstyles for him to cut (for her or anyone else who visits and isn't afraid of him).
- As for what Mascotify is, it's a (non-Shard powered) ability that transforms them into an invincible box that hovers around another person as long as they're within a set distance, and back at the "escorter's" present location. This way, the "carried" can be escorted around difficult areas easier without worrying about getting hurt or the risk of crumbling bridges, but their life is now linked to the "escorter" during this, and their death would also mean the death of the "carried".
- When it comes to dealing with people who think being altered with anything non-human automatically makes someone less than human, or when faced with prejudice for involuntary transformation, Gebel has these words of wisdom he once told Miriam when she had lost her will to live before he snapped her out of it.
Gebel: If we ask for the demons' power, then we're monsters. But if people force us to take it, then our power doesn't make us good or bad. Our choices do. That freedom of choice is proof we're human.
- As a result, they have dim opinions on those who blame the victims for their condition, harbor empathy for the altered who still hold on to their humanity however they can, and hold contempt for those who either use their condition as an excuse for terrible things or if they willingly throw away their capacity to care for others.
- On top of corroding their bodies, Shards also make them susceptible to Demonic Possession. With plenty of powerful demons in the Pantheon, this means both Gebel and Miriam are at risk if they ever take on any of the powerful ones. The only reason Miriam dodged those particular bullets back then is because Gremory—once she was ousted from Gebel—pursued the Liber Logaeth, then was sealed in a room by Zangetsu before taking him away, and then Miriam used the demon hunter's sword to send her back to whence she came, and Bael already took Dominique as a host by the time he encountered Miriam.
  - As a result, it's now become ironic that despite their powers meant for slaying demons, Miriam and Gebel are unable to go out and do that without proper countermeasures first, of which they will hopefully find in the Pantheon.
- Given their story is apparently a Spiritual Successor to the Castlevania series, it was inevitable that Miriam and Gebel would be approached by the Belmont Clan and their allies. And given the fact that Alucard is one of their allies, they all (with varying degrees of caution, or full trust) accepted the male Shardbinder after Miriam vouched for him. Naturally, this made them enemies with the Clan's archenemy Dracula as well.
  - Speaking of Alucard, during a duel between him and Miriam, it was apparent that for some reason she already knew how to fight someone like him. She explained about O.D. and how she had to fight him after forgetting to return one of his books.
- Miriam's first encounter with Shovel Knight ended up as a clash, because she had assumed he was a stray small Shovel Armor demon, and because an Itazura Griefer deceived her for laughs. She then assumed he was some sort of elite variant after he started using his Relics as well as him asking her why are they fighting. It was only through interference by Shield Knight was the misunderstanding cleared, and Miriam profusely apologized for it. Shovel Knight let the matter slide, complimented Miriam's skill, and they parted ways as allies. They were easy to convince of Gebel's turn back to good, given Shield Knight was similarly brainwashed before into the Enchantress.
- Another fight borne from a misunderstanding came from Dante Sparda, and actually mirrored the first time Miriam met Zangetsu. However, this fight would slow down after Miriam discovered that Dante clearly wasn’t taking the fight seriously and was almost literally playing around (his cocky grin making it more evident), and she made her frustration clear. They had a brief talk after that, and they eventually got a better understanding of one another. Dante also found Miriam's mastery over numerous different weapons fun and entertaining. Afterward, Dante decided to introduce her and Gebel to other Demon Slayers... as soon as a countermeasure for Demonic Possession is found (and they eventually do).
  - Gebel's actions under Gremory's brainwashing brought chilled receptions from these other demon slayers, and required a lot of convincing from Miriam that he's on the up and up now. The Doom Slayer's helmet-obscured glare unnerved even the male Shardbinder, but he understood his words given a demon also helped him. Bayonetta kind of understands Gebel's situation given her Father Balder was also under Mind Control all along before being freed from it by her, though there was also time travel involved on his end, so it's a bit confusing. Princess Sakuna is more concerned with Gebel's ability to summon demons than whether or not he (or Miriam) can be trusted, but she'll hold the female Shardbinder to her word. The Winchester brothers and Castiel—given all their troubles with demons (not to mention Crowley entangling himself in their affairs and them in his several times over)—have difficulty trusting either of them, even Miriam, despite her best efforts, though they won't stop them when fighting the same foes. Hoss Delgado, for all his boneheadedness, shares the same opinions as the harvest goddess; doesn't quite trust Gebel, but will hold Miriam to her word that he's not evil anymore, and they're fine as long as neither of them summon any demons around him.
- Despite no longer having to worry about corruption from their Shards, that doesn't mean certain parties (mostly from the Houses of Knowledge and Magic) won’t be interested in them, and may try to use them, or capture them for experiments. Most attempts from evil or insensitive people have usually ended with a plethora of demons from Gebel coming their way, and neither he nor Miriam are slouches by any measure in fending off personal attacks. That's not to say there aren't any benign interested parties who wish to learn about Shards, but most of them know better than to press the subject given how traumatic and disastrous their childhoods were. On a lighter note, Marisa Kirisame has been seen eyeing them whenever they're in battle, trying to learn to emulate their techniques for herself.
  - Merlin's also expressed great interest in them given his origins. In fact, their Shards are something he considers unique and new, something he hasn’t seen or experienced before. As a reward for this new experience, he provided the Shardbinders with an enchantment that would ward off Demonic Possession as a result of their Shards. It did take the form of a Shard for each of them however, but unlike all other Shards, these ones did not cause any pain upon insertion. And with Merlin’s status as powerful wizard and seer, he has learned everything others know, will know, and also things they will never know about Shards from a first glance. Merlin also complimented their Herald Johannes in his skills in alchemy, successfully creating and replicating powerful weapons, like the Carnwennan.
- On top of malicious demons, the Shardbinders eventually had to contend with zealous angels as well, particularly those under YHVH and Paradiso. And in more complicated matters, the latter's counterparts the Demons of Inferno also get involved, and they usually target Miriam more given how many demons she's slain while also trying to curry favor with Gebel, who rebuffs them at every turn.
  - While Dominique was a traitor to her faith, those overzealous in their belief in God that lead to depraved acts are no better, such as Judge Frollo for his lust and his desire to purge gypsies, and William Stryker for claiming oppression from people different from ordinary humans. Alexander Anderson however is a unique case; he wishes to strike down Gebel for the whole Hellhold affair, but as long as she's not with him, he's perfectly fine with Miriam's presence given how she not only laid Gebel to rest in the mortal realm, but stopped the heretic Dominique as well from successfully bringing Baal to Earth.

Exclusive to Miriam:
- Is well-versed in all sorts of weapons: kicking, daggers, swords, clubs, greatswords, axes, staves, spears, whips, and firearms. Her bullets for the last can range from mundane hollow-points to elemental or diamond-made, and even if she runs out (which it won't when Miriam has the Recycle Hat on), she has the Infinite Rounds, though they're much weaker.
- Can empathize with those who lost their faith in God after suffering great loss, but it still doesn't excuse turning against their own kind and/or setting loose demons, as Dominique Baldwin had. She also opposes those who seek godhood for selfish reasons or wish to kill gods. Unless said gods are malevolent, such as YHVH or Chuck Shurley.
- On top of her talents in combat, Miriam is also a talented pianist, and may occasionally play some tunes when she has the time. If her summoned Familiar is a Carabosse, she will sing along.
- Wants to make sure that if someone needs to use a Waystone or some other one-use teleportation item that doesn't already have a set destination locked (such as a Scroll of Town Portal), the user should have their destination in the forefront of their mind and nothing else. She's had to deal with someone who got lost a few more times due to getting distracted.
- As someone who's also had to fight against a brother figure who did everything for them but lost themselves to the power they have, in addition to coming to their senses just as they were defeated and passing away, Miriam got along well with Shanoa. They also discovered that they both help townspeople in their adventures, use shards/glyphs embedded in their skin, and were both taken in as a child by a demon/dracula-worshipping organization who tried to use her to summon forth said demons/dracula at the cost of her life (and thankfully didn't come to pass).
- She also got along well with Soma Cruz given their ability to acquire abilities from enemies (souls for Soma, Shards for Miriam), their expertise with multiple melee weapons, and their antagonists trying to urge them to absorb as many as possible so they can become more powerful, and while their special abilities is seen as a weapon that can be used for evil, they both wanted nothing to do with it and use it to fight for good. They also both have alternate fates where they fell to the dark side.
- The Aqua Stream Shard is Miriam's primary means of traversing underwater, and she can use it with impunity while down there. It helps that she has Super Not-Drowning Skills.
- Another notable Shard of hers is Summon Chair, where she does exactly that, and can spawn several at a time. They're not just for show, for they can regenerate MP while one is seated on such a chair, but they are temporary and will disappear when Miriam leaves the area or dismisses it manually. When waiting, and unable to find an adequate seat, Miriam will use this Shard instead, and may be convinced to summon more for others.
- When in a pinch, and there's a lot of blood spilled, she has the Blood Steal Shard to heal herself with that blood. Unlike other blood-related magics, it cannot affect blood still inside the body; it has to be already spilt. This makes battles against her in the House of Slaughter or in slaughterhouses in her favor as there is plenty to absorb. On occasion, the Aerospace Sanitation Janitor appreciates her company if she has the time to clean up blood (leaving just the rest of the junk), making their job easier even for just a day.
- Was once read a tale back as a child that's similar to her own adventure, except the protagonist was a redheaded girl named Aurora. It was just a story on Miriam's side of the tale, but what of on the Child of Light's end?
  - According to Aurora (who regarded Miriam with caution at first, having only met her Doppelganger before), this tale rings true on her side, taking place just after she vanquished Queen Umbra, and crossed the mirror back to her home kingdom, which was about to be swallowed by floodwater. She was taken to this realm instead, her friends turned into Shards, and Aurora regressed to a child once more. Still, by fighting the demons of the castle, she slowly regained her lost power, and eventually stopped Dominique and Bael, and on doing so was spirited (with her friends back to normal) back to her intended destination; her kingdom in Austria, in time to evacuate her people to Lemuria.
  - As for the two Shardbinders, Aurora gets along with them well, even Gebel (since she somehow deduced his real situation), but also laments that his fate (and she was aware of his…controlled state) was no different in Aurora's side of the story than in Miriam's.
- Takes great care to return any borrowed books and makes sure others do the same. Orlok Dracule's Bonus Boss fight taught her the hard way, even though it did grant her the Standstill Shard, as well as O.D.'s services.
Exclusive to Gebel:
- Despite his redemption, his faith in humanity is yet to be entirely restored due to all the sins the Alchemist Guild committed, and mostly keeps to himself unless he's accompanying Miriam, or when receiving visitors who wish to see him personally.
- When it comes to what Shards he has, besides those he showed during his boss fight, given all the demons he's summoned, it's highly likely that he has most of the same Shards as Miriam, though some that she has are definitely unavailable to him as they are either optional, or are acquired after Gremory was outed. Speaking of summoned demons, he is still able to do that, having first known to have done it when he hunted down the remainder of the Alchemists Guild that had experimented on him and Miriam so long ago.
  - As for weaponry, it's not known if he's even a Multi-Melee Master like Miriam, given all the training Shardbinders are subjected to, but he usually defaults to a sword, or sending out bats from his cape.
- As someone else who suffered abusive experiments from those who made him who he is, and eventually rebelled against them before turning on all humanity for a while before being convinced to abandon that line of thinking, Gebel actually finds a kindred soul in Mewtwo. The Genetic Pokémon can see this too and finds his words to Miriam wise even if it can't apply to Mewtwo himself since he never was human.
- Having heard of him from Bayonetta, Gebel has considered visiting Father Balder, but the stances of their powers made him concerned given the Church's stance against demons and Dominique may have been working alone when she concocted that plot with Gremory. However, Balder himself had no problems seeking him out after hearing of the Shardbinders through the proverbial grapevine. After all, he did fall in love with and marry an Umbra Witch, so the concept of someone benevolent who consorts with demons isn't foreign to the Lumen Sage.

In a world called Rainbow Star, the story of Bub and Bob began when their friends Betty and Patty left the village they lived in to explore the nearby woods, stumbling into a mysterious area known as the Magician's Forest. Due to their unfamiliar surroundings, the two became lost, accidentally wandering into a cave deep in the forest known as the Cave of Monsters. The girls met Super Drunk, master of the cave, who kidnapped them and trapped them on the 100th floor. Bub and Bob set out to rescue the two, but ran afoul of Super Drunk as well, who transformed them into Bubble Dragons. Using their newfound abilities, the two set out to journey through all one hundred floors of the cave in order to rescue the girls. Not only did the pair accomplish this, they also found their parents, and they turned back to normal. However, canon gets much murkier from then on. Besides two other adventures as humans, more battles against Super Drunk and other villains commence, and sometimes the boys are cursed into bubble dragons again or perhaps they've always been bubble dragons to begin with.
What remains consistent however is that Bub and Bob are able to shoot out bubbles and encase foes in them before tackling and defeating them, converting them into food items to eat. This serves as their main method of attack, and bubbles are also what transport them between levels in most games. As such, given their entire shtick, this makes them viable candidates for the trope Floating in a Bubble.
For consistency's sake, Bub and Bob are contacted as they are in the True Ending of Bubble Symphony, where the brothers and their girlfriends (who happen to be sisters) regain their human forms, vanquish Hyper Drunk, and are crowned royalty by the denizens. They were aware that there was still a new adventure awaiting them, and it indeed came when an envoy of the Pantheon arrived to invite them. They were all eager to see this new place, but due to "clerical issues", only Bub and Bob can be official deities by way of them having much more adventures. Still, that doesn't mean their girlfriends can't come along; it's just under the Herald rank.
Due to continuity issues in regards to whether they were cursed or if they've always been bubble dragons, in the Pantheon, Bub and Bob (plus their girlfriends) are given the ability to transform between their more popular bubble dragon forms and their original human forms. While they are each a One-Hit-Point Wonder in their games due to a Curse, that doesn't apply here, but they're still only somewhat more durable than your average kid, even as bubble dragons.
- As dragons, they can shoot bubbles from their mouths, and not just a spray of little ones, either. These bubbles come out their own size, and upon contact with a target, it traps them inside and floats them upward, and when these bubbles are burst from the outside, this will usually fell most Mooks, but enough bubbles can eventually encase tougher foes once they're sufficiently weakened. Shooting bubbles at each other will just bounce them off and float up. However, if not interacted with for some time, victims of these bubbles can break out safely. Empty bubbles can be bounced on.
  - There are other things they can do with their bubbles, though. They can inflate themselves to float, encase themselves in a bubble to do the same, shoot bubbles in a pattern (Bub's is three bubbles straight forward, and Bob's is in a spread pattern), and shoot larger bubbles (which can trap multiple targets at once). These larger bubbles can bounce off walls, and if it catches either Bub or Bob, they can enter it and perform the Rolling Bubble, where they can charge into more foes.
- That's not to say their human forms are helpless though. With bubble pipes, they can still shoot bubbles, shoot them in patterns, and bounce on them, all with as much effect as their dragon forms. They also have Rainbow Magic, where they can summon a rainbow in front of them that will damage foes when summoned or when falling from above. These rainbows crumble and fall when jumped on if they will it so, and they can walk on them safely. They can also slow their fall by flapping their arms. Additionally, they also have Magic Parasols with which they can pick up (and stun other foes of similar or smaller size by touching them) and toss foes with, float down a la Parasol Parachute, shield against things like missiles and laser beams, and travel across worlds with them a la Mary Poppins. Between the two, Bub prefers his bubble dragon form more since he likes being called cute.
Another thing that showed up in their temple is a Puzzle Bobble gaming machine, and this a popular go-to for gaming visitors as they play against each other, against the bubble dragons (deities or heralds), or against preset puzzles.
When it comes to suffering a different from due to a curse and trying to find a way to change back, Bub and Bob… weren't exactly alone in that regard, such as Tiana and Naveen (frogs), Kuzco (llama, and a few others), Odette (swan), Prince Adam/The Beast, and Link (all sorts). Being friendly folks, the duo made friends with all of them, and oppose those responsible for the transformations (if they're in the Pantheon).
Being dragons (at least some of the time), Bub and Bub inevitably encountered others of their kind. While they've become friends with most of the friendly dragons in the Pantheon, one particular one was Jake Long, who can also switch between human and dragon forms, even if that privilege is Pantheon-exclusive for the bubble dragons. Another is Spyro, who can also shoot bubbles among his many breath attacks.
- This also came with enemies, such as Ripto (dragon hater, never mind that Bub and Bob's forms were maybe from a curse), and most dragon hunters (except the Dovahkiin, who is "merely" scary). On the other hand, unless the hunter is particularly evil, returning to human form usually spares them from murder… but may also subject them to different fates instead.
One idiot claimed to have seen another bubble dragon around and directed them to the House of Science. Turns out that idiot was referencing Dr. Alphys, given similarities in body shape. When the monster scientist cleared up the confusion, she also noticed that despite their forms, Bub and Bob's SOULs are still human. They parted ways as friends anyway.
One time, while rescuing the Gang of Seven from a bunch of Shadow Heartless, upon seeing them get bubbled, Cera charged at them with more anger than she was normally, helping deal with them. When Bob asked, she was cagey until Petrie blurted out that one time she got trapped in a bubbly mud pit bubble and he had to burst her out. When Bub then asked why she didn't just pop herself out with her horn, she refused to answer and walked away.
As fellow bubble-shooters, the pair have also gotten along with Stella of the Angry Birds, Ceasar Zeppeli, and Rolling Bubbles of the PPGZ.
Bub likes all sorts of fruits, but not umeboshi (very sour preserved Japanese plums). He mistook it for a cherry once, and he felt his cheeks almost fall off as a result.
Upon being introduced to YouTube, video games, Let's Play, streaming, and V-Tubers, Bub decided to try his hand at them.

Updated draft of Allen. Looking for interactions with potential enemies.

Allen Walker, God of Soulsavers (Beansprout, Cheater Boy A, The Destroyer of Time, Red Arm, 14th Noah)

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/allen_walker_hallow.png

Potential Hall: Religious Figures
Intermediate God
Symbol: The cross of the Crowned Clown
Theme Song: Crown Clown
Alignment: Neutral Good
Portfolio: All-Loving Hero, Crowned Clown, Big Eater, Cross Attack, Evil Detection, Fake Memories, Guilt Complex, The Cursed Eye, Messianic Archetype, Prematurely White-Haired, The Soulsaver, Wide-Eyed Idealist
Domains: Soul-Saving, Exorcism, Compassion, Crosses, Clowns
High Priest: Morpheus
Herald: Timcanpy
Allies: Rin Okumura, Ichigo Kurosaki, Dante Alighieri, Madoka Kaname, Sig, KiraKira Cures
Enemies: Kefka Palazzo
Allen Walker is a young man born with a deformed left arm who was abandoned by his family. Raised by Mana Walker, when he tried to resurrect his adoptive father by accepting a deal from the Millennium Earl Mana was brought back as an akuma that Allen destroyed with his arm, which turned out to be an Innocence, a weapon that destroys akuma. His left eye was cursed by Mana, letting him see the souls of akuma. Then taken in by Cross Marian, Allen was trained to become an exorcist and join the Black Order. A kind idealist, Allen wishes to save the souls of both humans and akuma and release them from their suffering. As a result he opposes the Millennium Earl, the creator of the akuma who wants to destroy humanity. This goal of providing salvation to the akuma puts him at odds with not only the Noah, the group led by the Millennium Earl, but also the Black Order itself as Allen learns more about his mysterious past.
Allen was eating a giant pile of dango skewers when Tincampy came to him with a letter. Allen wondered whatever the letter could be, possibly a message from the Black Order for him to slay an akuma, or even from one of the Noah, maybe from the enigmatic Tyki Mikk. Allen's curiosity was piqued when learning that the letter Tincampy gave him came from the Pantheon. Having obtained his records from the Black Order, they honored Allen with an invitation to the Pantheon, bestowing upon him the title of God of Soulsavers for his intent to save the souls of both humans and akuma, a goal they found noble for its compassion and admirable for his determination despite the challenges he faces from both allies and enemies. Given the opportunity to save more souls by becoming a god in the Pantheon, Allen heartily accepted the position.
Allen has formed an exorcist duo with Rin Okumura, the son of Satan the Demon King who joined True Cross Academy to become an exorcist and kill his father for the death of his adoptive father. Rin's energetic laidback nature meshed well with Allen's kind, patient personality. Despite their very different temperaments, the two found common ground to bond through as they learned more about each other's motivations and backgrounds. They found someone to talk to about their complicated relationship with their fathers — Allen's adoptive father being one half of the Millennium Earl and Satan killing Rin's adoptive father and wanting to be him, the man Rin's mother loved. The two came to the consensus that exorcism was tough work to say the least, but do it to make the world a better place.
Saving souls stirs up a large appetite in Allen. Due to the parasitic type of Innocence he uses in his endeavors, Allen has to eat a huge amount of food. Thanks to growing up as a circus hand without being taught any manners, Allen tends to gulp up plenty of food in short time. Thus, in his free time Allen can be found in the House of Food eating its most delicious dishes. Allen's love for dango has him often perusing the KiraKira Cures', the Goddesses of Desserts, sweets shop, gobbling up its confectionaries. Allen's idealistic, incorruptible nature fits right in with the Cures, with some of the other shop's customers joking that he could be their newest member as Cure Dango.
On his quest to save as many of the lost, tortured souls within the Pantheon, Allen inevitably crossed paths with Dante Alighieri. Allen was expecting to meet the legendary poet that he had heard of. Instead, Allen was surprised that when needing to whoop ass and save souls Dante can be a violent, powerful warrior who had served in the Feditore as a cavallo. Dante's gritty views on absolvation and the need for souls to face their sins. Allen, firm in his resolution to save all souls, continues to try to free souls from their miserable existences. Allen's staunch idealism appeal to the more romantic aspects of Dante, who wished Allen the best of luck on his quest.
"With my right hand I will save humans, and with my left hand I will save the Akuma."

"Welcome back to the Pantheon, 47."

Just letting you know that the Game Mechanics now has a Red Warning.

@nightelf37

I have nothing of Miriam but I have something for Bub and Bob.

Considering they have a history of encasing thing in bubbles and their general love for them, Sponge bob and Patrick could ally to them. Squidward might be afraid of them due to an incident where he was in cased in one.

Got an another rework proposal.

Asura, God of Unstoppable Rage

Reasoning: His Mantra is specialized on the concept of Wrath meaning pure rage is what makes up it's power proportionally. Asura is consistently very angry due to his own suffering and bulldozes through his enemies though has maintained a measure of restraint and control. His rage hasn't backfired on him constantly, the only reason it does, it's because he has a clear limit to contain it. Without it, he eventually defeats Chakravartin, the God of Mantra in his base form during a long struggle.

Thank you, you did great. I really do appreciate the suggestions you left me. I even used some of them. The psychic idea, the anon donations to the church, and suggesting that 47 may not take Asura are from the ideas you added.

The problem is that I have thought up too much ideas myself in that profile and I felt like that I have to veto some of the interesting ones that were in that section and I already felt like the profile was kinda long enough. In addition, I feel a bit guilty in not including some of the suggestions as they could have been expanded further.

So I hope there are no hard feeling about that one.

For Miriam and her male companion, adding the Joestar family as allies would be good. Like the Belmont Clan (who the Joestar family are allies with, incidentally), they too fight vampires and the supernatural.

Ha ha ha. What a story, Mark.

@nightelf37 you do remember that we don't make interactions because of VAs anymore right? Besides that, I think Gebel can interact with Rias Gremory. As someone who takes pride in her heritage, Rias would likely try to contact Gebel and make up for what Gremory did and forced Gebel to do. Gebel in turn could potentially have problems with interacting with her, in a combination of trauma and horror of what happened to him and with what he did because of Gremory. But at the same time he'd likely be more upset with himself since Rias had no involvement with what happened. Recognizing that she's a literal different demon, so he shouldn't place her in the same category as the ones he's dealt with before. Side note, Miriam technically works for the Church, so I thinks it's safe to say that she (and Gebel) is technically under employ to the House of Religion and Faith.

@Shonen Trash 98, Allen should definitely be enemies with Dis, most of the demons in the Hall of Demons, every Demon from Doom, and Diablo, Melkor, Damien Thorn, Griffith, Ganondorf, Ghirahim, Satan (Paradise Lost), Demise, Lucemon, Mephisto (Marvel), The Violator and would probably have a conflicting opinion on SMT Lucifer.

Bit of a lengthy post on the House of Gaming and how to address the lengthy page warning that Game Design and Game Mechanics have gotten.

Here's ideas for new Halls for Gaming:

Game Difficulty (AI behavior in games and how hard something in a game is in contrast to Challenge being about different types of gaming challenges): Fi, Legendary Titans, Draco, Duck Hunt Team, Xan Kriegor, SNLF, Bob the Goldfish
Game Progression (how a character progresses through one or more games, whether through saving, EXP, what items they have, or just generally getting through something): Airy, Sora, Maple, Mondo Zappa, Ciel, Nier, Regina, the Kosugis, Unlosing Ranger
Gaming Consequences (how deciding to play the game a certain way affects things): Shadow Queen, D’Arbys, Johannes, Specimens, Abe, Born, Chrom, Cuccos, Kenji Oja, Frisk, Vaughn & Blaylock, Strange Men Protagonists

I'm also considering moving the following profiles from Game Mechanics to Game Design to further trim down the former page:

Ultraman as Critical Annoyance is about the health in the UI giving off an alert sound due to the character being in critical condition
Bullet as Crosshair Aware is about the crosshair appearing in the game as an indicator that someone is being targeted

There's a few profiles from Gaming that I'm thinking of deleting as well due to outdated and very lackluster flavor text (as well as a couple outside of Gaming for similar reasons):

Might & Magic, Felicia & Jakob, Hoshimori Classroom, Kirie Sakurame, Belkar Bitterleaf, Vargas & Lava, Karin Yuuki, Kuroumaru Tokisaka

In addition, I'm also going to suggest a couple of reworks from Gaming:

Opa-Opa (Cute 'em Up): Fantasy Zone served as one of the Trope Makers for bright and colorful shoot'em ups featuring equally colorful characters and enemies.
Ridley (Legacy Boss Battle or It's Personal with the Dragon): Ridley is Samus' arch-enemy as Ridley destroyed Samus' home planet and killed her parents. Samus has a more personal vendetta against Ridley despite him generally not being the Big Bad in her various adventures. He's also shown up as a boss fight in almost every Metroid game in some capacity. I'd like to know if Legacy Boss Battle or It's Personal with the Dragon works better for him.

Any thoughts on this, including whether the Hall ideas are good or if something different could be done regarding new Halls and character placements in them?
