I have some more reworks of my own unless someone else wants to do them

• Arachne, Goddess of Blasphemous Boasts (Hall of Prideful Attitude)-Her profile is rather weak as it is. That, and I believe Spider People doesn't fit her. Yes she has it in Smite, but I feel she needs a trope that fits her OG and various incarnations of her if it isn't taken. Why does Arachne fit this new trope? Well, why is she a spider? Arachne was a great weaver, but boasted she was a better weaver than goddess of wisdom Athena. Who proceeded to show up and put things to the test. Whoever wins, Arachne shows excessive hubris and is either cursed to be a spider or pressured to suicide and turned into a spider as an act of mercy
• Chiron, God of Centaurs: Chrion's current profile isn't all too developed and is primarily "insular"/made of interacting with fellow Greek deities/Fate characters. So I want to improve him. Chiron is the most well-known individual centaur in the mythology where the centaur creature comes from, though he's also atypical of how they usually behave. He's the son of Cronus and a nymph and is half-horse because Cronus took the form of a horse to hide from his wife (how Zeus-like)

I haven't gotten any vote for Atelia from Tweeny Witches

for Chiron

THE GOLDEN AGE WILL RETURN AGAIN!

@ Iuka: . Good luck in making that profile.

The Fight Continues!

Here's my draft for the Dark Judges. Any suggestions? Omnicidal possible allies are of interest, yet I'm also interested in hearing about heroes who fought against omnicidal villains or who otherwise would particularly hate them.

The Dark Judges

Judge Death, Judge Fear, Judge Fire and Judge Mortis, Gods of Punishing All Crime With Death (The Dark Judges)

• Greater Gods
• Symbol: Belt buckle shaped like a human skull with extended fangs, a Shrunken Head, a flame-spewing trident, stylized sheep skull
• Theme Song: Darkness Descends
• Alignment: Chaotic Evil (They think they are Lawful Neutral)
• Portfolio:
  • All: All Crimes Are Equal (Including Life Itself), Living beings can commit crimes, therefore life itself is a crime, Evil Is Hammy, Ruling a Villain World, Ax-Crazy, Evil Counterparts to Dredd, Can Possess People, Hanging Judges, Humanoid Abominations, Multiversal Conquerors, Four Horsemen Expies, Bad Is Good and Good Is Bad
  • Death: Hanging Judges, Sssssnaketalk, Originally Nicknamed So, Self-Made Orphan
  • Fear: Nightmare Face, Emotion Eater
  • Fire: Burning Things to Death
  • Mortis: Skull for a Head, Decaying Touch
• Domains: Judgment, Death, Fear, Fire, Decay, Evil, Omnicide
• Allies: The Joker, Nekron, Thaal Sinestro, The Batman who Laughs, The White, Majin Buu, Broly, The Lich, Death Phantom, The Brainspawn
• Teeth-Clenched Teamwork With: Archaon the Everchosen, Zamasu
• Enemies: EVERYONE, but especially Judge Dredd, Cosmos, Gaea, YHVH, Batman, Superman, Madoka Kaname, Yusuke Godai, Avatar Aang, Gandalf, Son Goku, Darkseid
• Respect: Light Yagami, Sergey Taboritsky, Seryu Ubiquitous (all one-sided)
• Four Judges from an alternate dimension that killed everyone from their world. The reason being that Judge Death and his cohorts believed that since only The Living commit crimes then all Life as a crime thus the only true punishment for that was Death. With this belief they are trying to kill every living thing in Dredd's world as well as anything alive in The Pantheon. These four have long since become undead spirits and cannot be permanently killed only contained, each Dark Judge inhabits a corpse and that corpse will shape to their liking before they start "judging" others.
  • Judge Death is the leader and often able to phase through people and crush their organs, he is seen often working with the darker gods of death to help him punish the living.
  • Judge Fear is second in command and he opens his helmet's faceplate and frightens the accused to death with whatever lies within, whilst reciting his catch phrase, "Gaze into the face of Fear!" (though that failed against Dredd).
  • Judge Fire Wields a flaming trident in order to start massive fires. He is attempting to spread his fire further along with Starjun.
  • Judge Mortis is attempting with his cold touch to rapidly age people to death. He is attempting to bring in Barragan to work with them on their plans.
• They intentionally found their way into the Pantheon in the hopes of killing everyone not just in the world, but the whole multiverse. Together they have killed 60 million citizens and are waiting to spread into the Pantheon to do so much more. They are willing to work with any like minded members to start to upgrade their body count to any living members of the Pantheon. The Lich and Death Phantom have especially taken an interest in the four; very much agreeing with their philosophy of life being a crime. The Lich speculates that they are fellow Scholars of GOLB.
• Since ascending, the Dark Judges have worked to get some allies in their cause of omnicide. They are attempting to recruit The Joker, who joined them at one point, to reuinite with them; he did, but the Joker is more distant since he doesn't care for wiping out everyone and just wants an excuse to kill people. Death and his group insist on working with Nekron and his GUAD, all willing to except Black Lantern Rings to end all life everywhere. Fear meanshile is attempting to work with Thaal Sinestro and bring him to their cause, he would also gladly except a Sinestro Corp ring to further enhance his killings. The Batman who Laughs didn't even need to be invited, and simply joined them automatically due to his similarities with Judge Death.
• As is to be expected, Judge Dredd is their arch-enemy just as he is in their home 'verse, as is Batman due to their association with the Joker. However they've also made enemies out of just about any All-Loving Hero in the Pantheon — Superman, Madoka Kaname, Yusuke Godai, Avatar Aang, Gandalf, Son Goku, etc. — and just about anyone who values life. Cosmos and Gaea, the heads of the GUAG and GUAN respectively, have declared themselves and their Alliances to be sworn enemies of the Dark Judges in order to defend life. Pretty much everybody that values life in at all is bound to be their enemy, though the extent to which they fight obviously varies from person to person.
  • Surprisingly (or perhaps not), YHVH considers them a grave threat and ordered the GUAL to oppose them. His official reasoning is that "All Are Equal in Death and equality is wrong!", but more practically speaking it's because 1) many GUAL members were already enemies with the Dark Judges and because 2) YHVH sees a twisted mirror image of his own Law in them. Their ideology is a horrific extreme form of the legalism YHWH cherishes, and (though he'll never admit it publically) that thought troubles him.
• Not all their comrades in the omnicidal crusade really like them. Zamasu for example sides with them in wanting to exterminate all sentient life, but finds their intent to destroy all life - including plants and single-celled organisms - to be unnecessary. The Dark Judges for their part find Zamasu to be awfully selfish, yet still admire his commitment to "justice". None of these differences are really enough for them to flat-out hate each other though. Yet another omnicidal deity is Archaon the Everchosen, though neither of them admire each other as they have different reasons for what they do: the Dark Judges act out of sadism and pseudo-justice while Archaon is just acting out of angst.
• They've shown interest in some others in the Pantheon who hold to their All Crimes Are Equal logic, though some of them don't like getting this interest. Some among them are Sergey Taboritsky and Seryu Ubiquitous. On Taboritsky's part, the Dark Judges applauded the lengths the Mad Regent went to in enforcing justice. The Regent's response? He condemned them as "madmen with a perverse philosophy", apparently unaware of the immense irony of that statement. On Seryu's part, the Dark Judges applauded her commitment to justice, and told her that she "would be a true hero" if she "would just go one step further". Seryu was quite disgusted by the suggestion and told the Dark Judges that her zeal is for the well-being of the Empire's people. In both cases, the Dark Judges are mostly just disappointed that they lost potential allies.
  • On that point: Though Light Yagami doesn't believe that All Crimes Are Equal, he has still gotten the attention of the Dark Judges for his Death Note. At times, they've asked him to lend them the Death Note so they can enact "true" justice. As Light's "perfect world" kinda needs people, he's refused to do so, and jealously guards his notebook.
• They have "creative differences" (for lack of a better term) with Darkseid. Both Darkseid and the Dark Judges are profoundly anti-life, yet their solutions to the problems of existance differ. Darkseid wants to control everything and erase everybody's free will in order to prevent any form of disobedience. The Dark Judges on the other hand think that's still too risky which is why they opt for omnicide. Judge Death, in probably the first instance of anyone saying so, called Darkseid a "naive optimist" who doesn't understand how to be "practical". Darkseid for his part pointed out that eliminating all life would mean there's no society for law to apply to in the first place . . . to which Death said that no concept of law also means no concept of crime, and therefore no crime!
• Evil minds (heh) think alike, as the Brainspawn has a positive opinion of the Dark Judges and their mission. The sentient brains have become patrons to the Dark Judges and seek to help them in omnicide in the name of punishing crime. However, as they constitute life, the Dark Judges intend to kill the Brainspawn later on in their mission. The Brainspawn actually know this, yet they tolerate the Dark Judges since they believe themselves strong enough to be able to beat them.
• "The Crime Isss Life, The Sssentence Isss Death!"

I wonder what the Dark Judges would think of the fact Death Phantom used to be a human, aka form of life, before becoming the Lich he is now.

I’m plotting my schemes wherever I go! They’re perfect in every way…

@Clovis: I say good luck with Chiron.

Anyway, I have a few questions.

1. Should Naughty Bear's high priest be Fritz from Brain Dead 13? That game has to be one of the best examples of Bloodless Carnage I've seen.

2. Nurgle is the Chaos God of Despair, right? How would he feel about Junko Enoshima's actions (i.e. the whole "murder game" business)? Would he approve? Disapprove? Be neutral? And how would Junko feel about him?

Freudian Excuse: Not one person is entirely good or evil; something will have to have happened in the past to make them what they are today.

King Dedede would stay FAR away from the four judges due to the fact that he's very vulnerable to getting possessed due to his weak will (Dream Lands 2 & 3, 64, Epic Yarn, Triple Deluxe, Star Allies, got brainwashed in Forgotten Land, and got his genetic information stolen and had clones made of him in Planet Robobot). The biggest issue would be keeping him possessed since him going AWOL means that Kirby will come running at them, a battle that the judges probably don't want to fight.

Ha ha ha. What a story, Mark.

Thoughts on my profile for Atelia from Tweeny Witches?

Atelia, Goddess of Being Saved From Their Own Honor

• Potential House: Regret and Shame
• Intermediate God
• Symbol: Her black pointed hat with a tiny red circle as one of the Three Sages
• Theme Song: "Atelia"
• Alignment: Lawful Good
• Portfolio: Hot Witch, Appeal to Tradition, Anti-Hero, Reasonable Authority Figure, Jerk with a Heart of Gold, Tsundere, Silk Hiding Steel, Retired Badass, Broken Ace, Conflicting Loyalty, is revealed to be Jidan's ex, Maligned Mixed Marriage, Star-Crossed Lovers, Interrupted Suicide by Cop, Easily Forgiven
• Domains: Witches, Tradition, Order, Leadership, Loyalty, Reconciliation
• Allies: Lennon (her son), Diana Cavendish
• As the most active of the Three Sages, a group of witches second only to the grand master, Atelia effectively upholds order and tradition in the Witch Realm. In fact, she fought with the wizards to retrieve the True Book of Spells for the grand master from Grande, the wicked leader of the warlocks, when she was younger. Although her austerity makes her an intimidating figure, she has a subtle, caring side as evident in giving Arusu, a human, her apprentice witch uniform to live among the witches.
• She has kept one Dark Secret for more than a decade: her forbidden relationship with Jidan, a human, which produced Lennon, for which she left military service to the witches. Despite keeping a vague portrait of a couple holding their baby, she can't bring herself to abandon her people to fend for themselves, especially in a time of turmoil during the second half of the series. This drives a wedge between her and her son, the latter of whom erroneously believes she abandoned the family to save her own hide and for political power. They eventually reconcile thanks to the wizard Wil, who confirms the truth to Lennon, following Arusu and later Jidan's intervention in her Zero-Approval Gambit to die by a mob of witches in Lennon's place. Not only do she and Lennon get to live as a family again, the grand master restores her position to help her rebuild the Magical Realm due to being the only sage who has done any work to uphold order among her people.
• Years after finding a way to the Trope Pantheons across the Interdimensional Sea, Lennon is glad that he's been able to bring his mother there.

Regret and Shame would work!

Thank you!

I mentioned adopting this idea for a proposal from RJ-19-CLOVIS-93, and they mentioned that I should get approval from the forum first. So . . .

• The Dominion Of Draka, Unholy Society Of Being Overly Successful Alternate Timelines (SIDENOTE: I may change the wording of their title to something like "The Ascended Overpowered Alternate-History Faction" instead)
• WHY?: The Draka are the antagonists of an alternate-history book series by S. M. Stirling of the same name. The TLDR of their lore is that a bunch of American Crown Loyalists, Hessian mercenaries, French royalists, and later Confederate expats all fled to a colony in South Africa where they built their own society. Their entire ideology ammounts to "Take Over the World, ve iz da Master Race, everybody else is our slaves". They spend the 19th and 20th centuries taking over more and more land, with nobody bothering to oppose them until it's too late, to the point of ruling around half of the earth by 1948 — and the books end with them taking over the entire planet. For obvious reasons, the Draka are probably the most (in)famous example of an overpowered empire in the general alternate-history fandom.

---

Now, on a different note, I have a proposal to do a rework for a profile. The rework is my own idea based on what I've noticed.

• Annabeth Chase, Goddess of Wiser Women (in the Hall of Male and Female Traits)
• WHY?: Annabeth is defenitely an example of the trope; Aside from being the daughrer of a literal goddess of wisdom, in the original Percy Jackson books she serves as a sort of mentor-figure to the hotheaded Percy, and in The Heroes of Olympus her character as a Guile Heroine is elaborated. However her profile is currently very short, only having 10 (or 11 counting subpoints) bits of flavor text, and with some of them being below the expected size. It's clear her profile hasn't been edited all too much for a rather long period of time, with the latest edit being done by me. I couldn't help but notice the lackluster profile when doing my Percy Jackson rework a couple months ago.

Pantheon server for all who click here. Freaking lost $410 and I am hunting down for a nuke to reign down.

Okay, I've worked on Klonoa's rework a lot more and I feel it's just about complete. Only other input I could use are:

• New Followers and maybe a High Priest for Klonoa, since there's only one Follower now. There's got to be an assortment of unascended characters with bittersweet endings.

• What to do about the entries for Madotsuki, Prismo, and Bedman, as I still have no idea what to add to them or anything. Feeling the strong desire to just delete them but would like to hear any ideas if they can be kept.

• How to go about entries for Unico and Niko. I've seen Klonoa's entries in their respective profiles and I feel those entries are just too good to try and replicate in this profile. Like, would it be better to just have Unico and Niko in Klonoa's list of allies but have no entires, or try to make entries for them?

Without further ado, the latest draft for Klonoa.

• Once believing himself to be a native inhabitant of Phantomile, specifically a denizen of Breezegale, Klonoa is in truth the "Dream Traveler"; a hero who is destined to travel to different dream worlds and save them from destruction, with Phantomile being just one such trip. Which Klonoa has no problem with, being a naturally kind-hearted kid who never refuses anyone in need. However, the big catch with being the Dream Traveler is that Klonoa cannot stay in a dream world after it had been saved, needing to leave for his home dimension or be forced out of the dream if he stays too long, as had happened with Phantomile. Which sucks to say the least for Klonoa as he's quick to form close friendships with the inhabitants of those dream worlds, and he (sometimes) depends on some of these inhabitants to power his weapon, the Wind Ring, so he has to make friends with those in the dream worlds to accomplish his task. Though as sad as it is to say goodbye to friends, with minimal chance of seeing them again, Klonoa maintains an upbeat attitude and continues to selflessly do his duty of restoring balance to dreams.
  • In an alternate version of his universe, dubbed the "Heroes universe", Klonoa is a normal boy of Breezegale who dreamt of obtaining a "Hero Medal", a mystical and highly coveted item of his world. Said world being a singular planet that unifies the dream worlds of Klonoa's "Prime universe", with the locations and inhabitants of Phantomile coexisting alongside those of Lunatea and more. After a chance encounter with the bounty hunter, Guntz, Klonoa of the Heroes universe would achieve his dream of getting his own Hero Medal and would then save the world from an eternal nightmare alongside Guntz and a bomb expert pangolin named Pango. The Heroes version of Klonoa has a much less troubled and lonely life compared to the Prime version but was much less heroic until some serious reflecting.
• Klonoa first entered the Pantheon the same way he entered all other dream worlds, having been sent there as the Dream Traveler to protect it from destruction. After accomplishing what he had been sent to do, however, Klonoa found that he was not forced out after sticking around for a long time. At first, Klonoa was confused but then realized he finally had a waking world to stay in and less eternal goodbyes to make. People would need his help again and again, people could follow him now that he was a god, and people could keep crossing paths with him in his duties. At last, Klonoa had found a proper home. His ascension was finalized when he was given the trope Bittersweet Ending due to the endings of his main adventures being among the most heartwarming yet tearjerking of their kind.
• During his ascension process, Klonoa found the King of Sorrow at the Court of the Gods, which was a big surprise for the Dream Traveler as he last saw King of Sorrow dying in his arms back in Lunatea yet here he was alive and well in the Pantheon. King explained that he had manifested within the House of Despondency shortly after the aforementioned death in Lunatea and was taken to the Court of the Gods to determine his fate in the Pantheon. Because Klonoa and King of Sorrow were familiar with each other, it was decided by the Court that King of Sorrow would act as the Herald for the newly ascended Klonoa, which the two boys heartily agreed to. Even though King started off as an enemy to Klonoa, having attempted to consume Lunatea with sorrow and attacking Klonoa to atone for that world's sins, Klonoa knew that King of Sorrow was acting from trauma-induced insanity and was more than willing to accept the Hyuponian as a friend after all that had been sorted.
  • Over time, though, Klonoa began to miss his friends from his past adventures: Huepow, Lolo, Popka, and Guntz, and desired to be with them again. When the option to make them all heralds was offered, Klonoa immediately took that opportunity to bring those four into the Pantheon. Many Tears of Joy were shed as Klonoa, Huepow, Lolo, and Popka embraced each other in reunion, while Guntz just gave the Dream Traveler a friendly pat on the shoulders. And Klonoa convinced the Court of the Gods to ascend King as a deity so he wouldn't feel like a left-out fifth wheel herald but rather a fellow deity ally, with the Hyuponian also able to make his own friends in the form of other deities and his own heralds.
    • However, with regards to Huepow, there's a serious Elephant in the Living Room between him and Klonoa over Huepow giving Klonoa Fake Memories of having always lived in Phantomile, as opposed to being an outsider to the dream world who was sent to save it. Klonoa and Huepow both know they have to talk about it but for the time being want to enjoy each other's company again after being apart for so long. Klonoa at least has no hard feelings about it as he knows how regretful and apologetic Huepow is about that whole thing. Though that doesn't stop many deities, including King of Sorrow, as well as Lolo, Popka, and Guntz from criticizing Huepow for doing that to Klonoa, pointing out how unnecessary it was and how it ultimately made Klonoa's departure from Phantomile ten times more heartbreaking than it could've been.
• Immediately upon ascending, Klonoa was merged with his incarnation from the Heroes universe, retaining that counterpart's memories and experience, and gaining his abilities and equipment. Though still having a preference for fighting with his Wind Ring, Klonoa took a liking to the sword and hammer weapons and can not only be seen training in using them but will utilize them in serious fights if his Wind Ring cannot be used to its full effect. Klonoa also greatly appreciates the new special move in "Thunder Hurricane" since it lets him damage multiple enemies in a spinning attack while stunning others with lightning bolts. Klonoa also gained a great respect for pangolins and bombers, provided those bombs are used for good purposes, and wishes in hindsight that he chose Pango as a herald alongside Huepow, Lolo, Popka, and Guntz. Though Guntz, who also gained the memories of his Heroes incarnation, assured his cabbit friend that Pango would've wanted to stay in his village with his son anyway.
• Klonoa's role in the Pantheon (when not up to his usual duties) revolves around consoling those who are experiencing separation from friends and loved ones, as he's experienced more than enough cases himself. Though, nobody ever asks if he could use some support. Overall, he's surprisingly upbeat about his past and his fate, and can often be found talking with other deities in the House of Despondency in attempts to cheer them up.
• As the Dream Traveler, Klonoa is naturally drawn to the House of Dreams and Nightmares and spends most of his time there; which got to the point that he's considered an unofficial member of the house. And since Klonoa's role as the Dream Traveler is to save imperiled dreams from destruction, he quickly gained the favor of Ysera and other "dream guardians": NiGHTS, Princess Luna, and Haruto. Klonoa loves to hang out with each of them and share experiences with protecting dreams. And while the worst aspect of being the Dream Traveler is circumvented by being in the Pantheon, Ysera, Princess Luna, and Haruto are looking for ways to remove the "forced departure" of the Dream Traveler role, allowing Klonoa to remain in dream worlds as much as he likes, if not travel to them voluntarily as opposed to the current involuntary way. Klonoa is nothing short of thankful to the three for their efforts.
  • Of the "dream guardians", Klonoa gets along best with NiGHTS since he's the most devoted to protecting dream worlds, just like himself, yet NiGHTS has such a fun and flighty personality (moments of rudeness notwithstanding). Klonoa also admires NiGHTS for being a Nightmaren, directly created by Wizeman the Wicked to expand Nightmare, but decided to rebel against his master and be the savior of Nightopia instead, which made Klonoa start to consider that not all nightmares or nightmare creatures are bad. The Dream Traveler couldn't help but remark that, with that origin in mind, NiGHTS is almost a good version of Joka, both being clown-based nightmare creatures but NiGHTS had the good sense to rebel and protect dreams, while Joka remained devoted to his nightmare master and helped him to bring about the permanent end to a dream world. Klonoa is also intrigued by NiGHTS' ability to dualize dreaming people, which the Dream Traveler compared to his Wind Ring and its dependence on others to fuel it. NiGHTS, in turn, is fascinated by Klonoa's Wind Ring and praises Klonoa for his heart and determination to help dream worlds and those within despite never getting to see those worlds and their people again. To allow the Dream Traveler a dream world he can visit time and time again, NiGHTS invited Klonoa to Nightopia where the two can have fun.
  • Soon after getting acquainted with the good dream deities, Klonoa would have an encounter with Dream of the Endless, who revealed himself to be the one who had summoned the Dream Traveler to the Pantheon in the first place and allowed for him to be ascended. As the personification of dreams, the Sandman had an awareness of the many dream worlds in Klonoa's universe and took notice of the traveling protector of those dreams. Grateful for Klonoa's accomplishments and efforts in saving dreams from destruction, Morpheus decided to summon the Dream Traveler to the Pantheon during a particularly disastrous event in the Dreamscape and then contributed to Klonoa's ascension as a reward afterward. Klonoa was nothing short of flattered upon learning of this and immediately befriended Dream, even if he found the Sandman to be intimidating.
    • Klonoa could not help but ask Dream if he was also the one who made him the Dream Traveler in the first place, but Morpheus answered that he did not and does not know who or what made Klonoa the Dream Traveler; Dream even ponders that being the Dream Traveler is an inherent aspect of Klonoa, just as being the personification of dreams is to himself. Nonetheless, the Sandman took pity on Klonoa for the forced goodbyes his role enforces, relating a bit with being isolated due to one's function, and told the Dream Traveler to just focus on the work and cherish the memories of his friends, which the cabbit took to heart.
  • Of course, it didn't take long for Klonoa to meet the "nightmare" members of the house and the Dream Traveler toom an instant dislike for them. With the exception of the Perfect Trumpet Thingy, who is harmless all things considered, the likes of Vaermina, Nightmare, Wizeman, and Freddy Krueger make Ghadius look tame (which is saying a lot) and Klonoa is quick to join the rest of the dream protecting deities should those fiends start spreading nightmares. Nightmare in particular had become a pseudo-Arch-Enemy for Klonoa as he's not only the most like Ghadius in nature and personality but the Emporer of Darkness took on Ghadius as a High Priest and ascended Joka into the Pantheon, which the Cabbit cannot forgive. As for the Perfect Trumpet Thingy, Klonoa still doesn't think highly of the thing and its tendency to spook people in their sleep for not being "perfect", always making an effort to tell the trumpet off whenever it does.
• Indeed, Klonoa was beyond furious on learning about Joka's ascension, having hoped that the Pantheon would be untouched by the clown fiend. Though Joka is more often a bumbling fool and is always second-fiddle to a bigger threat, the Dream Traveler harbors the most hatred for Joka for killing his grandpa to obtain the Moon Pendant; even after coming to terms that he and grandpa aren't actually related, Klonoa is still enraged over the callous murder of an innocent life who regarded him as family despite true circumstances. Klonoa also knows from that moment that Joka is not to be underestimated, and has become further worried by the trouble Joka can accomplish on learning that he took on Garlen and Janga as heralds, both being dangerous villains who can easily cause mass harm alongside the clown fiend. Klonoa always makes an effort to confront Joka with whatever the harlequin is up to, be it assisting a villain in their evil scheme or trying to win in a tournament, and become extra determined to defeat Joka. And whenever Janga is involved as well, Klonoa can count on Guntz to help him out, since Janga killed Guntz's father and has it out for the cat's blood.
  • It goes without saying that Klonoa has a heavy dislike for other monstrous clowns in the Pantheon, with Dimentio standing out to the Dream Traveler for being most like Joka but being much more competent and sinister, with his ultimate goal being possibly the most despicable of all. That Dimentio is close allies with Joka only makes Klonoa extra determined to defeat Dimentio.
• Klonoa and Guntz (specifically their Heroes incarnations) were one of the heroes Reiji and Xiamou encountered during their first recorded adventure, and naturally the two were pleased to see the young hero and bounty hunter again. It took Klonoa and Guntz a while to recognize Reiji and Xiamou, having not seen them in so long, but once they did Klonoa excitedly greeted the Shinra agents while Guntz simply shook their hands. Soon after, Klonoa and Guntz got reacquainted with the other heroes they encountered in that adventure with Reiji and Xiamou; Klonoa rekindling his friendship with Felicia in particular, who was overjoyed to see her fluffy, long-eared friend again. Morrigan was also pleased to see Klonoa again, finding him too cute to resist. Guntz, however, remembered how obsessed all the girl heroes were with hugging the two of them and quickly fled from the gathering, swearing like crazy as the girls gave chase to hug him. Klonoa, however, was content with the hugging (provided he could still breathe).
• Klonoa met with Kirby one day while browsing the House of Food for a burger stand and the two adorable dream heroes became immediate friends. As they ate their favored foods, Klonoa and Kirby conversed on their past adventures, and the two were astonished by how much their respective worlds have in common with each other; the resemblance between basic Moos and the Waddle Dees being just the tip of the iceberg. The two also noticed how similar their default methods of attacking are, requiring them to "grab" and then "toss" enemies. Though Kirby is able to do way more with his ability to absorb the power of any enemy he swallows, which Klonoa found cool but also really creepy. Though Huepow, Lolo, and Popka were quick to tell Klonoa that he shouldn't be one to judge with the amount of Moos he tossed to their deaths.
  • Klonoa was soon introduced to Bandana Waddle Dee by Kirby and was immediately reminded of "Heart Moo", who a version of himself played volleyball with in one universe. The supposed "King of all Moos", Heart Moo is a standard Moo who wears a green bandana with a yellow heart symbol to distinguish himself from the rest of the Moos, just like Bandana Dee, and is also the friendliest of the Moos; rejecting the prize money and trophy in favor of keeping the volleyball as a friend should he win the tournament. The bandana'd Waddle Dee was amused by this revelation and hopes to meet Heart Moo one of these days, and took up an interest in volleyball in the meantime. Klonoa can often be seen playing some volleyball with Bandana Dee.
• ((Klonoa's confused about Madotsuki, who spends her time wandering around disturbing dream worlds. He’s tried to help her out a few times, only for her to loudly tell him to go away.))
• ((When Klonoa learned about Prismo, he became interested in protecting him, considering how people have been trying to kill him by waking his host up.))
• Presea Combatir was shocked to see the mascot of Altamira's theme park within the Pantheon, whom she owns a costume of, and was delighted to meet Klonoa in person. Klonoa was suprised to learn that he's a mascot in another world and amazed at how realistic Presea's costume looks, and became fast friends with the girl. Klonoa felt sympathy for Presea on learning of how she was reduced to an Empty Shell due to experimentation and does his best to help her feel good emotions again. Likewise, Presea makes an effort to hang out with Klonoa for some more friendly fun that he could use, in light of his bittersweet fate.
• ((Klonoa is very, very confused by Bedman. He is aware Bedman is caught in a coma, which Klonoa views as an endless dream, but is having trouble trying to figure out if Bedman is truly evil or not. For his part, he understands Bedman is not trying to cause nightmares and thus avoids conflict with him for the most part.))
• Klonoa took an interest in Ned Needlemeyer when he learned about the boy's chronic nightmares, and became one of few deities who visits Ned's temple expressly to brave those nightmares. As to be expected, Ned's nightmares are no match for the Dream Traveler, Klonoa defeating them with ease, and very soon the cabbit became good friends with Ned. Klonoa often tries to help the boy with his anxieties that cause his nightmares, and Ned in turn seeks out opportunities to have fun with Klonoa, having become aware of the Dream Traveler's heartbreaking ordeal and wanting to be another friend he can play with.
• Pac-Man recognized Klonoa as another character from his flagship company and was pleased to hear of his ascension, especially being aware that the Dream Traveler is one of the more overlooked members of the company. Klonoa in turn recognized Pac-Man as the character on his hat, which amused Pac-man to no end, and got along with the Yellow Fella. The two can often be seen eating together in the House of Food, Klonoa partaking in a hamburger (without tomatoes) while Pac-Man helps himself to... Everything he feels like eating.
• Klonoa became acquainted with Sonic the Hedgehog after being mistaken to be from the hedgehog's universe by numerous deities. On meeting Sonic and his friends, Klonoa could see the resemblance between them and himself, especially in his appearance from Lunatea and onward, and decided to befriend the hedgehog and his allies. Sonic himself took a quick liking to Klonoa, being a fellow young hero of the wind who selflessly saves worlds from destruction (and also can't swim to save his life), and tries to comfort the Dream Traveler over his forced departure of those worlds.
  • Of Sonic's friends, Klonoa gets along best with Miles "Tails" Prower since they are both heroic boys who've suffered trauma (Tails having been the victim of bullying before meeting Sonic) but maintain a cheerful attitude. Certainly helps that Tails has the closest resemblance to Klonoa among Sonic's friends, the two loving to joke that they are long-lost relatives. Klonoa is also fascinated by Tails' namesakes, and doubly so that the fox is able to fly by twirling them super fast, while Tails is curious about Klonoa's Wind Ring.
    • Klonoa also loves hanging out with Cream the Rabbit, who has the heart of a hero and adventurer despite her pacifism and he likes to accompany her on her many wanderings through the Pantheon. Klonoa and Cream also bond on their ability to float in the air with their ears, though the cabbit is a tad envious that Cream is able to float for much longer and for much greater height and distance than he himself. Lolo also enjoys hanging out with Cream due to having mannerisms similar to herself, while Huepow is shocked by how similar-looking Cheese is to himself.
  • After meeting Sonic and his friends, it was only a matter of time Klonoa would meet their enemies. And to the Dream Traveler's great displeasure, he would be encountered by Dr. Eggman, who reminds Klonoa a lot of Garlen; a recurring enemy of his who is also a round, comical Mad Scientist specializing in robotics and constantly makes schemes for world domination. Though Eggman is a much bigger threat than Garlen could ever hope to be and his long list of crimes alone disgusts Klonoa to no end. The doctor himself considers Klonoa to be a potential annoyance and begun studying the cabbit to make countermeasures for him.
    • Klonoa and Guntz would also soon come across Nack the Weasel, also known under the name of Fang the Sniper, and Klonoa was absolutely baffled at the similarities Nack and Guntz shared: both being canid^* Nack actually being part wolf hunters famed for wielding guns and even own distinct hoverbikes that they named; "Red Clan" and "Marvelous Queen" respectively. Naturally, Guntz and Nack developed an incredible hatred for one another, calling each other ripoffs, and immediately got into a gun duel, forcing Klonoa and other nearby deities to take cover as the two shot at each other. Of course, since Guntz's guns actually fire bullets whilst Nack was shooting corks, the fanged sniper had to resort to dirty tactics to keep up with the Golden Killer, but Guntz proved the superior of the two in the end. Nack swore vengeance and fled on his Marvelous Queen while Guntz smiled with satisfaction at besting his copycat. Though that joy was short-lived as the Pantheon's law enforcement showed up right after and sentenced Guntz to fix and clean the area he and Nack shot up, with Klonoa being to serve that sentence as well since Guntz is his herald and thus his responsibility. That experience didn't endear Nack to Klonoa, and on learning more about the treasure hunter came to regard him as a rival: viewing him as Guntz without any honor or redeeming qualities.
    • Deities have also noted similarities between Guntz and Shadow the Hedgehog, both being the dark-furred, edgy and mean foils to blue-clad and friendly heroes. And on meeting Shadow, Klonoa and Guntz could see what those deities meant. Fortunately, there are enough differences between the two that Guntz and Shadow don't view each other as fakers and have become allies due to their shared sense of solitude and justice. Though Shadow really wishes Guntz would speak with a cleaner mouth, as the swearing combined with his firearms and hoverbike reminds Shadow too much of how he behaved in his own game. Klonoa himself is on good terms with Shadow, recognizing him as a fellow hero, even if he feels Shadow could lighten up and be more friendly.
  • Klonoa would also soon meet the Babylon Rogues, rivals to Sonic's own team, who heard about Klonoa owning a hoverboard and challenged him to a race. The Dream Traveler put up a valiant effort to beat the trio of birds and did manage to get ahead of Storm and Wave in the final stretch, but Jet was just too fast for Klonoa to beat. Being a good sport, of course, Klonoa complimented Jet for his skill and vowed to improve his boarding to win next time, which the hawk stated he'll be looking forward to. Since then, Klonoa has been practicing his hoverboard skills and meeting with Tails for some upgrades to increase its speed.
• (Entry about Unico)
• (Entry about Niko)
• Klonoa became befriended by Sora when the Keybearer heard about another hero who travel to many worlds and saves them from destruction. Both being one of the most loving and friendly heroes who are also young yet really tough boys, and wield iconic weapons that are among the most unusual (a ring and a key), Klonoa and Sora naturally get along great and consider each other kindred spirits to an extent. Sora was also amazed at how Klonoa is able to enter people's dreams, at least until the Dream Traveler told him about how he has no choice in where he goes or how long he can stay. Sora immediately felt sorry for Klonoa, knowing how much he'd be bummed out if he was unable to freely travel worlds and revisit old friends, and even though the Dream Traveler assured Sora that the Pantheon allows him to be with his closest friends again, the Keybearer comforted Klonoa by telling him that so long he keeps the memories of his friends in his heart, they'll always be with him.
• Klonoa also became good friends with Avatar Aang, being yet another All-Loving Hero who is a young boy attuned with the wind and was born with the divine task of maintaining his world's balance. Aang could relate all too well with Klonoa on the burden of being a "chosen hero", as the revelation of being the Avatar caused Aang to be left out of games from the other airbending kids and then nearly separated from his beloved mentor, among so many other things. Though the airbender admitted that that's nothing compared to the burden of being the Dream Traveler, not wanting to even imagine having to leave behind his friends for an indeterminate amount of time. Of course, Klonoa thinks that the burdens of their respective roles are equal and is simply happy that Aang is in a good position now. Aang appreciated Klonoa's thoughts and praised the Dream Traveler for his heart and strength, and then offered to assist Klonoa in any situation. In the meantime, Klonoa and Aang like to get together to practice their wind abilities.
• When Klonoa first saw Beerus, he thought that the god was Emporer Jillius, ruler of the Empire of Dreams whom he had helped before, and greeted the purple cat before realizing Beerus was someone entirely different, and a great deal bigger than any emporer. Though Klonoa's first encounter with Beerus turned out amicable, the feline deity having been in a good mood on being met by the Dream Traveler, Klonoa became very suspicious of the Destruction God for his job description alone. The Dream Traveler's wariness of Beerus only increased when he learned from other deities about how ill-tempered, petty, and jerkish Beerus can be, destroying whole planets just because a few inhabitants annoyed him. But realizing that he and his allies wouldn't stand a chance fighting Beerus, Klonoa makes an effort to stay on the deity's good side and try to get him to be a nicer person.
  • On a similar note, Klonoa does not trust Hypno at all due to the Pokemon's resemblance to Bagoo, Emporer Jillius' treacherous advisor, and Hypno's penchant for kidnapping children only cemented the Dream Traveler's distrust. Only things keeping Klonoa from deeming Hypno as an outright enemy is that the Pokemon is actually harmless, all things considered, and is not only allies with NiGHTS and Ysera but enemies with much worse deities.
• Klonoa can often be found within the House of Sports on his free time, partaking in as much as the place has to offer. The Dream Traveler found himself being particularly fond of baseball, having no less than three different outfits, the last one reserved for the Christmas season. And of course, Klonoa never misses a chance to go snowboarding with his hoverboard, singing "Stepping Wind" all the way to the ends of each snowboarding course.

@m-95 - The Dark Judges

• I'm gonna PM the suggestions to you as it is quite longer than I expected.

@mdalsted

1. I don't see why not.
2. Based on what I briefly read for them, while he does give despair to people with his diseases, Nurgle genuinely want to help people and thinks he's doing the right thing, so I don't think he would initially get along with Junko, who intentionally wants to spread despair. Junko meanwhile would likely be super interested in him and likely try to convince him that the despair she brings is a good thing and try to convince him to use his diseases to others as a gift. So I would say something like Teeth-Clenched Teamwork, I could see them working together, they kept a distance due to Junko likely not wanting to get his diseases herself.

@IukaSylvie - Atelia

• First draft looks good so far but needs work. Please expand the third flavor text.
• Saved From Their Own Honor - Samurai Jack and Ashi - "In mid-season 5 of Samurai Jack (Samurai Jack - S5 E5: "XCVI" & Samurai Jack - S5 E6: "XCVII"), Jack attempts to commit Seppuku after believing that he killed a horde of mind-controlled alien children. Ashi races to find him in time to stop him, in the process meeting several people Jack helped in previous seasons and giving her the information to pull him out of his Despair Event Horizon.". Imagine she finding it very admirable of her.
• Is likely good friend with the good-aligned deities in the Hall of Witches and Wizards as well as the ones from Harry Potter's world. Is likely evil-aligned deities from both groups as well. Is likely enemies friends with Gandalf as well.
• There are those who are pro and anti mix-marriage she can interact with. I'll PM the deities to you later.

@KaoticKanine

• At this point I would put Maximillian as the High Priest and remove the followers list. I don't think it was necessary to list many of them and I can't think of a game or show that has the theme of bittersweet ending every episode/level that isn't also well-known enough to not get ascended eventually (since it is a popular ending type). If I have encounter this show or game, I'll let you know.
• I'm going with a brief mention of them, Maybe also put them togther due to their similar tragic themes. Both are dreamwalkers like Klonoa but are more mysterious in their origins. Both can be a bit violent as seen where Madotsuki sometimes attacks creatures when she wield a Knife and Bedman is a hitman that can kill people in their sleep via their dreams. That said, both are not completely bad. Madotsuki lives alone, refuses to go out and is implied to have a dark and troubled past. This is why she would rather live in her dreams and ultimately commit suicide at the end when she collect all her abilities found around her dream world, known as Effects. Meanwhile, Bedman and sister were forced to put into sleep because of a unique condition they have where their bodies cannot handle their extreme intelligence. His consciousness is put into an information-holding dimension called the Backyard and he can only communicate via dreams. He hopes to use the power of the dimension he was placed to one day live freely and one day bring back the people he has killed. Klonoa is likely to both be weary (given that both have lots of powers that can be used against him or others) and pities both of them for their backstories.
  • Klonoa likely tried to help both of them by trying to find out who they are in their home realm but is sadden by the fact that their troubles is something that happened in their respective non-dream world and something his powers likely cannot help. Also, Madotsuki does not speak (or chooses not to), what she would do is to avoid him whenever she encounters him in her dreams. Your interactions with Bedman are fine tho.
  • I would delete Prismo, mostly because he's a Dream Projection rather than a Dreamwalker. Which makes their interactions not compatible imo.
• Unico and Niko - I would just not include their text but keep them in the relationship list since your profile is already long enough and you could just visit their profile to see why they are allies with them.

@Klonoa:

Time to explore the world!

@lawliet-saw-whet:

1. Done and done.

2. Based on what I've been told of Junko, she "enjoys spreading despair to others, because she considers it the best thing in the world and wants to share it around as much as possible. She also kills people she loves because doing so gives her despair. She likes being in despair as much as she likes circulating it. Junko is, at heart, a Utilitarian, which means her morality is based on the results of actions..." Sounds pretty similar to Nurgle, if you ask me; they just have different methods.

Freudian Excuse: Not one person is entirely good or evil; something will have to have happened in the past to make them what they are today.

Is it ok to add stuff from fan film if it is endorsed by official sources? I was thinking of doing that with Godzilla vs. Gigan Rex which is endorsed by Toho.

Hm... Well, if Toho themselves endorsed the film, maybe it counts? But let's see what the others think.

Freudian Excuse: Not one person is entirely good or evil; something will have to have happened in the past to make them what they are today.

• Okay, how about "Rival/Conflicting Opinion" like with Cyth V'sug. He may also feel sort of a kinship with her as well and while he likes her idea in spreading despair, he disagrees with her methods of delivering that despair via killing people because as to quote his profile "Nurgle loves all life and wishes to keep everything alive".

---

@WhirlRX

• I think that seems fine if they endorsed it because it likely makes that it doesn't conflict with any canon. But to be safe, make it ambiguous whether it is canon or not or make it like a possible canon AU

Yeah, something like that.

@lawliet- Thanks so much! I've edited the profile according to your recommendations, and will wait until the next page to share the new draft. I just hope I did Madotsuki and Bedman good, as your suggestion gave me a great idea on how to tackle them.

~@lawliet-saw-whet

Is the following the correct reading of the above passage?

Alright, I haven't actually added anything to Annabeth's profile yet. I'm just posting the unedited original here in case anyone has suggestions before I get going - and also for reference's sake.

Oh, and I plan to update her picture with Viria art instead of Caparo art, before anyone suggests that.

Annabeth Chase, Goddess of Wiser Women (Wise Girl, Daughter of Athena)

• Lesser Goddess
• Symbol: The Athena Parthanos. Alternatively, the Mark of Athena.
• Alignment: Lawful Good
• Portfolio: Strategists, Action Girls, Smart Girls, Disliking Spiders, Battle Couple (with Percy), Badass Bookworms, Runaways, Violently Protective Girlfriends, Lovable Blondes.
• Domains: Warfare, Knowledge.
• Allies: Percy Jackson, Hermione Granger, Wonder Woman, Athena
• Enemies: Kratos, Mori Motonari, Toyotomi Hideyoshi, Light Yagami, Arachne
• Her Ascension began after her eternal love, Percy Jackson, was ascended to the Pantheon, and did not wish to be without her. After some consideration, he approached the War Pantheon and briefly told of her tales. Not impressed, they laughed him out until he threatened to completely destroy the Pantheon's plumbing forever. This quickly gained her an audience.
• After hearing of her exploits, including Batman Gambitting a giant humanoid spider into creating its own prison and then suckering it into locking itself in, all the while on a broken leg and completely exhausted, the War pantheon quickly praised her deeds and welcomed her in.
• After surviving literal Hell in one of the deepest, darkest pits in the known multiverse known as Tartarus, Annabeth developed a bit of a backbone, demonstrated by her new blade, made out of a drakon bone. Since then, a single stare from her grey eyes is enough to get even the most battle-hardened and cocky warrior to shut up, sit down, and listen.
• She holds tremendous respect for the legendary Spartan strategist and King Leonidas, and is often seen walking the Pantheon's borders with him, discussing both defensive and offensive strategy. The King, meanwhile, considers Annabeth a daughter after his own heart, thus giving her two nigh-unkillable protectors.
• When not in the War Pantheon, she can often be found spending time with Percy Jackson, her true love.
• Shortly after Percy and Harry Potter became fire forged friends, Annabeth met Hermione Granger. Since then, Hermione has been training Annabeth in the magic arts, and Annabeth has taught Hermione battle strategy. Melkor has begun to fear this companionship.
• She dyed her hair to brown once (as seen in this picture), but later, it returned to her natural blonde... don't call her Dumb Blonde or she will quickly and efficiently prove you totally and completely wrong. While looking totally hot.
• During a recent adventure involving friendly Egyptian sorcerers, it was discovered that she can use other beings' magic as her own simply by learning the language and (even rudimentally) the mechanics. While the limits of this are currently unknown, given who her mom is, it's likely that what she learns, she can use. Period.
• Hates Kratos just as much as Percy, if not more so. She can't stand to hear him insulting her mother Athena and call her a greedy Manipulative Bitch. Her mother might not be a saint, but she's far from greedy. She's prepared to join Percy when the time comes to eventually deal with the Faux God of War.
  • She has a conflicted opinion of his son, Atreus. That doesn't stop her from warning him, "Don't you ever make the same mistakes your father made, boy."
• When she met Aqua of Kazuma's Party for the first time, she joked that for once, there was a person more deserving of the title "Seaweed Brain" than Percy. Percy took it as a complement.

Brand X^Leaders Priscilla Pusly/Lady X, General X, Lieutenant X, Brand X Lunch Lady, Mr. Clipboard, Unholy Generic Brand Products (Pusly: Lady X)

• Brand X Industries is a notorious food company known for its rather unappealing Brand X products that at one point replaced many brand names for over half a year. If it were not for the rough recession at the time, most people would have skipped using Brand X. Brand X also turns out to be poisonous to people, so it's both rather unsavory and unhealthy to eat. The FDA would have gone ballistic over this, though it is not the first nor last time Americans devoured foods that killed them. In truth, Brand X's rise to power is much more malicious than a simple fluke. In the supermarket world, brands dwell in a world separated from standard reality where these Ikes interact with each other. However, if an Ike is killed in the world or suddenly vanishes, the brand the Ike represents is yanked from circulation. Brand X kidnapped the mascot Sunshine Goodness and pumped her "sweet essence" (whatever that means) into their products, allowing them to keep consumers from buying their products. Then Brand X decided to assassinate several Ikes before mounting a full-frontal extermination war against every Ike out there. Despite how powerful Brand X became, the United Supermarket Defense Association led by Dex Dogtective defeated Brand X, putting an end to their imperialistic grabs for the supermarket. That does not mean Brand X suddenly vanished as they can be still found in most major grocers. Due to their nature as an army, Brand X also has a presence in the Pantheon.
• It should be first said that Brand X has its mascots look a bit too... similar to a real genocidal army that was extinguished. The army even has this Strange Salute where they cross their arms into an X repeatedly. One wonders who the hell made this during the marketing. The irony would have doubled if Brand X was called Brand Z instead. That is not to say the army itself is at the forefront of Brand X as the mascot is its leader, Lady X. Lady X's true identity is Priscilla Pusly, a failed mascot of a recalled prune brand who desperately wanted to have a place amongst the Ikes again. Then she wanted world domination, so there goes that sympathy. Despite Lady X being presented as a Ms. Fanservice, her true appearance is that of a hideous Gonk woman. This decision for an objectively ugly mascot also makes a person wonder who was in charge of marketing.
  Random troper: Who the hell would like a mascot based off of actual Nazis- PUT YOUR HAND DOWN OVER THERE!
• Melkor is the majority shareholder of Brand X Industries after putting down 65 million for it. Not that he likes the food that Brand X creates but because it's so putrid, he had Brand X be sold to prisons and labor camps to feed their impoverished prisoners at a decent price. Surprisingly, this business strategy worked and Melkor made some good cash. As the majority shareholder, Melkor has more say in the company, with his authority being rivaled with the Brand X Industries CEO or Lady X herself. There are many other business decisions that Melkor had Brand X perform, some of which may have people raise an eyebrow. Melkor goes after the gullible crowd who go into echo chambers that turn them into extremists since he considers them an easy target. He knows that many times, being presented as an ally to those you wish to harm is more effective than antagonism, so he tries hooking dumb folk with Brand X so their health could be ruptured. He spreads conspiracy to this crowd on how brand foods contain microchips that will brainwash them, then telling them generic brands are the only safe foods to eat. He even had Brand X partner up with questionable groups that these insane crowds enjoy. Just like Melkor predicted, these people ate it up. Or better to say, they ate Brand X up. Melkor is giddy to see the amount of undiagnosed cancer that he brought to millions.
  ”Anti-consoomer”: I believe that the demon Moloch controls the high elites of society, attacking the loyal servants of God with evil propaganda. That’s why this world should be governed by righteous leaders who respect the traditional ways which our nation was founded on.
  ”Melkor: Yeah, I’m with you my fellow God-loving buddy. Can you eat some Brand X now? This week, the company is donating to more conversion camps.
  ”Anti-consoomer”: How based.
• Reviewers of all kinds from I Hate Everything to JonTron were appalled by the presence of Brand X in the Pantheon because they found the source material where Brand X came from the worst thing they had ever seen and also the effective horror film. It was enough for these reviewers to question if the TV Tropes Pantheon had standards anymore on who would be let in. It is their job as reviewers to critique something with their drawn opinions through a quippy sarcastic personality. So when they drew the line at freaking Brand X, a person knows harder than if they had their digital avatars crossed their arms. The reviewers knew they could only express their unhappiness towards Brand X being here though the Nostalgia Critic of all people took it further. He angrily demanded that the Pantheon have higher standards for deities, to not follow the popular or undesirable to instead prop up "art" in its place. A more diverse deity pool is welcomed by anyone though Nostalgia Critic wants to create a movement that will place a filibuster on ascension just because he hated Foodfight! that much. Maybe his getting stabbed by JonTron for reviewing the movie may be fueling his anger.
  Nostalgia Critic: I got bit by that guy with shark teeth, so do you think I want him as my neighbor?!
• Richard Blaine and Indiana Jones have resembled too much like Dex Dogtective who led the effort to stop their advance long ago (a decade by the time of this writing believe it or not). So to make sure these two men do not get in their way, Brand X has tried to slip into their mouths with poison one way or another with Mr. Clipboard doing the deed. However, no matter how many drinks they spike there are always some Nazis barging in to cause a mess beforehand. That made Brand X's leadership particularly pissed at Nazis for these constant interruptions, funnily not looking at their reflections. The Lunch Lady had enough and jumped on a Nazi who proceeded to scream as a tiny ugly creature was biting him.
• Judge Doom has gotten along well with Brand X for their fellow genocidal ways. Not that he wants to eat Brand X at all, but he finds relatability with the Brand X leaders anyhow for wanting to exterminate corporate-owned mascots from respectively different mediums. It got to the point the two people got together with Lady X driving her mechanical human Mr. Clipboard toward their meeting spot. Doom was a bit disturbed by the movements of Mr. Clipboard, almost believing that Mr. Clipboard was a toon similar to himself since the robot walked as if he sharted his pants. Also, Mr. Clipboard looks like Judge Doom on a receding hairline. Doom was particularly interested in the Exobytes that Brand X created since they intentionally look like mobile mosquitos... for some reason. The Dip could be carried by these Exobytes, ejecting the Dip in numerous ways as a result. Judge Doom says that would surely kill as many mascots as possible as Brand X has shown their brutality in warfare. Roger Rabbit felt a disturbing chill creep up his back.
• Fred Flintstone is an Ike due to being at the forefront of a famous cereal. He would have wanted to be an Ike for cigarettes though Fred was wisely advised to get away from that. So when he saw Brand X mow down his other Ike brethren with missiles that blew their limbs apart, he was horrified. Fred Flintstone was unable in to participate in the battle since he was taken by Brand X soldiers and waterboarded for information on the U.S.D.A's defenses. When it was all said and over, Fred was still shaken over what had happened. Not because he was waterboarded with the blood killed Ikes, but because it reminded the Flintstone of his disturbing past. Fred Flintstone did participate in genocide after all. He thinks that it is likely karma that brought that harrowing experience upon himself.
  Lieutenant X: Seeing this disgusting caveman choke on the blood of filth makes me feel gloriously aroused if I do say so myself.
• Popeye once found his favorite spinach brand missing from the shelves, replaced with Brand X to his dismay. So Popeye was so pissed over this, he went to the world where Ikes dwelled and began to beat the crap out of the entire Brand X army there. Popeye did this all without eating the spinach himself. After punching through nearly everyone, it was then given to Popeye’s attention that the brand mascot of his spinach was there and informed him that Brand X did not have them removed. They were just moved to the section right beside where they used to be and Popeye went into a rage for no reason. Popeye then sheepishly left the Ikes, bought his spinach (look at those inflated prices), then left without wanting to acknowledge that little episode. Brand X still rue Popeye for defeating them so brutally, cementing to them the stranglehold that brand products have at stores compared to generic brands. That said, they want to place a stranglehold in stores for their brand instead.
• Burns wanted cheap cafeteria food to give to his workers and at the same time, made it look like their health problems were not because of his horrific nuclear power plant management. So to stop authorities from investigating something so severe, it would be less severe to be investigated by food inspectors. Ironically, the food that the power plant served to people was contaminated with radiation, so being replaced by Brand X saved lives if anything. Not to say the workers are happy over this, though the vending machines still being present made up for that. Burns was given an entire promotional video on the benefits of eating Brand X though his copy was stolen in an act of tactical espionage. Whoever wants to steal a Brand X promotional video must either hate them or wanted to save everybody from seeing it/
  Mr. Burns: Brand X isn't that bad! Here, I will try. See? Brand X is a completely healthy and-
  Burns is seen having a seizure in the ER soon afterward.
• The Evil Queen has relied on Brand X for key ingredients in her poisonous concoctions. She experimented with pouring as many unhealthy substances as she could and after going through the aisles of a typical American grocery store, she found that Brand X seemed to have had great synergy with poisons. It is a foodstuff, and its toxic nature makes it unnoticeable to testers plus being plain enough to not taste odd. For this, she thanked the American consumers for allowing such a product to exist so that she could attempt to poison Snow White once again. Yet the Evil Queen failed again by putting it on an evil apple. Snow White may be the fairest in the land, it is not synonymous with stupidity.
• Sanji was initially attracted to Brand X because there was a hot lady as a mascot though came to the ghastly realization that the food is absolute shit to eat. The cook does not have any notions against food in the supermarket, though he thought there were some standards to it all. A strikingly gorgeous lady on the cover is what holds him back from thinking he made a complete waste of a purchase. His creed of honor would not have allowed him to waste Brand X no matter how plain it tasted, so Sanji went to work to make it edible. It took a grueling few hours, though what came out of his Brand X was one of Sanji's typically delicious meals that make anyone salivate for it. Not to say that Sanji thought there were no better ingredients outside of Brand X to use, though he still bought it the next time he went to the supermarket. The packaging showed the leg of Lady X, so it was game over for him by that point.
• The Hedgies raided a van that curiously was filled with Brand X within it. Thinking it was just some regular food, the animals tried eating but found themselves completely debilitated the next day. They were all sure that the Brand X they ate was secretly a pesticide set up by pest control. In truth, Brand X was so unhealthy their weaker animal stomachs were not able to handle it that well. They were able to stomach it fine later though still are apprehensive after the ordeal.
  Verne: Brand X is horrible! Let's go back to eating our usual supply of food!
  Verne glances at their pile of food.
  Verne: I've made a huge mistake.
• Brand X is what Chin ate as he mowed down millions of communists in his crusade against the Chinese government. Why Chin ate it because Brand X Industries gave it to him for free for his "patriotic" actions. Despite fighting against socialism, Chin was willing to be paid for his contributions. That is not to say that Chin likes eating Brand X though he would rather not starve while mowing down CCP soldiers. The reason Brand X was essentially sponsoring Chin for genocide is that as a corporation, they do not believe their corporate interests flourish in a communist world despite brands still being a thing in communist nations. Especially when Brand X would be at risk due to their unhealthy natire. It is easy to explain that Brand X wants to be on the side of corrupt executives than corrupt governments who would monitor food consumption like themselves. So they are hoping Chin can end communism by fueling him with their excess produce.
  Lady X: I found something interesting. If you say *censored by the TV Tropes Pantheon morale committee*, you get bleeped out. See? Now try saying *censored by the TV Tropes Pantheon morale committee* too.
• "Brand X, Brand X. It's simple and plain. Brand X, Brand X, it's different but all the same."
