Go To

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

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

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

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

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

    Templates 
Template for adding a new deity:

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

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

Template for Dominions profiles:

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

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

Template for Treasure profiles:

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

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

A long time ago I had adopted a profile from J Rads 47 for Chastity Couple. However it fell into serious writer's block. Does anyone want to take the trope for a spin instead of me?

  • Tangle the Lemur and Whisper the Wolf are two lifeforms that have aided Sonic in some of his adventures. From Tangle, the Nice Girl Genki Girl Lemur with a Prehensile Tail who you don’t want to anger, to Whisper, a Wolf with Improbable Aiming Skills and happens to be The Stoic Sole Survivor of a former group called the Diamond Cutters that was massacred thanks to Dr. Eggman and her ally-turned foe Mimic. The two have allied themselves with Sonic, and are very good friends with each other. This friendship is something that extends to Sonic the Hedgehog and all of his friends and allies. All of them are working together to defeat the evil Dr. Eggman.
  • Ascended to the Pantheon during a rampage from Infinite, who was caught off guard by Whisper knocking him far backwards with a wispon. Before Tangle defeated a Phantom Copy of Zavok that the Jackal created. Sonic, at first, was surprised to see them there, but Silver clarified that he retrieved them because he particularly had a very bad feeling and decided to get some back-up just in case. The real reason is when the fight started, Silver was checking the House of Time and Temporality and saw that they would’ve lost this battle without back-up. Together, they worked together to send the deranged Jackal packing, with Tangle and Whisper getting the trope Fanart At First Sight after the battle was said and done.
  • Applies to Both:
    • Tangle and Whisper are True Companions who really care for each other, and the act of bringing harm on either is enough to severely piss the other off. Whisper was outright prepared to shoot Eggman in the head after Tangle was infected with the Metal Virus before Cream talked her down. While normally a Nice Girl, Tangle is capable of despising someone, as shown in her encounter with Mimic. Not many people blame her for this whatsoever. While not officially a part of the Restoration, they help out Sonic and friends whenever they can. Ironically enough, they seem to be spending more time with them in the Pantheon than they are on their own world at the moment, mainly because Mimic isn’t present. Should he arrive, Tangle knows that Whisper WILL try to end him for what he and Eggman did to The Diamond Cutters.
    • They were not happy to find Dr. Eggman in the Pantheon, let alone a plethora of his multiple incarnations at that, not to mention Metal Sonic’s presence as well. However, they’ve also come to blows with some of Sonic’s other foes ever since ascending. Infinite is a major one, as the two were the biggest reasons that his rampage came to a premature end. He did try to create a Phantom Copy of Mimic, but this ended with Tangle getting uncharacteristically angry and trying to pull a No-Holds-Barred Beatdown on him, to the point where she almost shattered his mask, though the only reason she even got that far was because she caught him off guard. He has vowed revenge, and she snidely added that he was lucky Whisper wasn’t there, though she did hear the news and was FAR from pleased. As for the others, though...
      • Erazor Djinn disgusts them. What he did to the world of the Arabian Knights, and the Cruel and Unusual Death he attempted and almost succeeded in inflicting on Sonic is nothing short of vile. The malevolent genie’s desire you conquer all stories, therefore granting him control over all worlds, is something they couldn’t ignore. Erazor scoffed and said that it is better than wanting to DESTROY all worlds and stories, like the Anti-Monitor plans on doing. A sad thing is that he’s right to an extent given the Anti-Monitor. Despite this, and knowing they stand no chance in a straight fight against Erazor, they still vehemently oppose him with everything they have. Doesn’t help that he’s a massive dick.
      • It is through the Pantheon that they learned of a terrible event that occurred regarding a God of Time that was erased from history. That being’s name was Solaris, The Dreaded God of the Sun and Time who is well known throughout Soleanna and most of the Pantheon, the former due to legend and the latter for trying to destroy all of time and space. They were thankful to learn that Solaris was split into its two components, Mephiles the Dark and Iblis, in the Pantheon as of now. Shadow of all people recommended Whisper stay away from the Former, as Mephiles can and WILL Break Them by Talking if he feels the need. While he was able to fight through Mephiles’ efforts, he and Tangle aren’t so sure Whisper would be able to without damage to her mental state. Neither Tangle or Whisper have come to blows against Iblis as of yet.
      • Black Doom is another person who they vehemently oppose. The leader of a race of ravenous aliens, the two find his actions utterly sickening, especially regarding his goals and his treatment of Shadow. Black Doom doesn’t particularly care what they think, but Tangle the Lemur and Whisper the Wolf have both started to become a recurring issue for his troops. Whisper in particular wants to ensure he never gets Shadow on his side, as the idea brings back bad memories of what happened to the Diamond Cutters courtesy of Mimic, Doctor Eggman and a bunch of Shadow Androids. Black Doom has plans to ascend Mimic and eventually Surge into the Pantheon just to spite the two.
      • There was a day where they were hanging out in their temple when a horde of blue, pink and yellow creatures materialized in there with the intent to harm. The two took them out with some difficulty, but consulting with Sonic and Tails led them to figure out that these creatures were minions of Dark Gaia, who is present in the Pantheon and VERY dangerous. It’s awakening was enough to split the Planet apart into seven pieces, and it cannot truly die. However, the recent ascension of Chip has quelled some of Dark Gaia’s attacks more easily, but the two are especially nervous about the power it wields and how it could definitely grow dangerous enough to destroy a good chunk of the Pantheon if left unchecked.
      • Mammoth Mogul doesn’t actively antagonize them, seeing it fit to run his operations without creating more opposition to himself. He finds that they aren’t nearly as big of a threat to him as they are to Sonic, where he plans to abuse his immortality and wait until The Blue Blur is either dead or too old to oppose him. However, they are both wary of his Mind Control abilities, having heard of the Fearsome Foursome Incidents and how he is capable of driving people to Psychic-Assisted Suicide. They haven’t had an encounter with Mogul as of yet, but both parties are well aware that the other exists.
    • There exists a universe where Metal Sonic Went absolutely bonkers and heartlessly murdered nearly everyone the two care about, with only Sonic and Shadow managing to survive his slaughter. This version of Metal Sonic is named Metallix and is present in the Pantheon, and he is very spiteful towards Sonic and Shadow, as well as Mario, Luigi, Yoshi and Bowser for being a massive thorn in his side, and the two have added themselves to his growing list of enemies. They were surprised to find Eggman and Metal Sonic themselves aiding them against Metallix, the two claiming him to be far too much even for them.
    • Whisper and Tangle nearly had a Freak Out upon learning that the Pantheon housed some Technopaths and Diseases, as well as Disease-Based Gods. The two were relieved to find that the Deadly Six were not among them, as they have bad memories of the Metal Virus pandemic, which claimed Tangle and nearly Whisper as well. Sally Acorn did let them know that Zavok used to be in the Pantheon, and that it’d be best to prepare themselves in case he manages to return, especially if he succeeds in bringing the rest of the Six with him. As dangerous as they are, Whisper and Tangle know that the Deadly Six are nothing compared to Brainiac, who is more than capable of controlling far more electronics and robots than the Six combined would be able to do.
      • Speaking of the Metal Virus, the two fear that Albert Wesker, Thrax and Nurgle plan to remake it, which they don’t, and have expressed their concerns to the Good-Aligned Deities (And SCP-049) in the Houses of Health and Diseases and Machinery and Technology, who admitted that they fear the possibility as well, but pointed out the existence of one being more likely to try it...Alex Mercer. While the Metal Virus does turn people into Zombie-Like Robots that were dubbed Zombots, they believe Alex Mercer has plans to try absorbing a bunch of it to gain some of its power, and nobody likes the idea of either potential outcome, and the two have been working with the Two Houses to keep this horrible fantasy from becoming a reality.
    • Given their disdain for Mimic, it was only a matter of time before they came to blows with other evil shapeshifters and Octopi. Ursula’s capacity for Faustian Bargains and has the ability to shapeshift. While not as deplorable as Mimic, the two oppose her nonetheless. They wonder if, should Mimic ascend, they could have the Hall of Shapeshifters subject him to a Shapeshifter Mode Lock to make him less of a threat. Also, Tangle the Lemur and Whisper the Wolf decidedly made their opinions on Shang Tsung very, very clear after learning of the many atrocities he had committed.
    Tangle:YOU. ARE. HORRIBLE!
  • Applies to Tangle:
    • Tangle prefers to spend her spare time finding new and fun things to do, and hanging out and having a good time with others. That being said, she is not someone to anger and is more than capable of handling herself in a fight. She cares deeply about her friends and has fun finding stuff to do with her Prehensile Tail, especially if she discovers new things about it. She likes hanging out in the various Houses where her friends reside, and has taken one of her closest ones, Jewel the Beetle, in as a herald. She also likes to mess around with contraptions and stuff that she thinks are cool and wants to try, but is not a tinkerer herself. She especially loves hanging out with Blaze due to having a good bit of Hero Worship for the Sol Dimension Native.
  • Applies to Whisper:
    • Likewise, Whisper likes spending time with her friends, but will leave them if she thinks her being near them will cause them to become endangered, by an enemy or otherwise. She likes hanging out with Tangle, and is often seen in the Hall of Firearms trying to improve her aim using her Wispon, which she uses to harness the power of any willing Wisp. She has a whole horde of friendly Wisps serving as her heralds, and she gets along with the ascended ones as well. Silver has some Hero Worship for her, often referring to her as the Guardian Angel, and taking her mask is a good way to either piss her off or cause a Freak Out. Recently, however, things haven’t looked so good for the poor wolf. Surge the Tenrec managed to deliver a Curb-Stomp Battle to her and abduct her Wisps for her own ends, and broke her Wispon. Whisper was left deeply scarred by this, and another of Tangle’s heralds, Belle the Tinkerer, has been working on fixing the Wispon. Time will tell if she succeeds, but Sonic is currently preparing for his showdown with Surge...

[up] I'm sorry, but as per the rules, you can't suggest something with a brand new trope at least until a month or two has passed since said trope's launch.

I'll take it that you didn't know about this information, so I'll be lenient for now. Still, I advise you to be wary of the rules and be careful.

Believe me, I've had my fumblings and screw-ups in the past, so I'm saying this with experience.

That said, you can keep the idea in your sandbox, but as I said, you'll have to wait for some time before you can suggest it for approval.


@Sailor — My apologies for taking too long, but here's a [tup] for Tangle and Whisper.


@RJ — From what I gather, Peter and Ernie are literal Sitcom Arch-Nemesis, but end up taking each other too seriously in comparison to other examples.

Besides that, here are some flavor texts that I think could be expanded and/or improved upon...

  • Also, as much as they hate each other Peter couldn't bring himself to let Ernie die from bird flu; Lois convinced him that he needs a rival to give him meaning in life so he saved Ernie's life. And for those wondering, Ernie doesn't have a problem with the rest of the Griffin family as it's only Peter he hates.
  • Due to being a good friend of Donald, Panchito and Jose's alliance with the giant chicken was enhanced when Ernie and Donald became friends.

Announcement regarding Alliance reworks: I will post sandboxes that will contain reworked Alliance descriptions for the GUAG, GUAE, GUAL, GUAC, and GUAD, each with 3 council leaders (to decentralize Alliances so they're not "Character Fan Club") and a list of repurposed subdivisions for each with little descriptions of how they serve their respective alignment in a Pantheon that emphasizes less on Alliance wars.

I will link to the sandboxes starting from the beginning of the next page.

Here are some stuff you may need to know:

    How will deities be integrated into the reworked Alliances? 

For deity entries into the Alliances, it's mostly the same, but they now have to follow by the new purposes indicated by the subdivisions of each Alliance instead of the old. Additionally, with the Alliances no longer emphasizing on combat-related roles, because excluding the GUAD, Alliance-scale warring isn't that present. Instead of "Threat Level" (we don't care about power hype), we can simply change it to "Role" in terms of their contributions to the Alliance, which can encompass more kinds of characters in general. "Loyalty", change to "Cooperation Ability", which goes over their ability to cooperate not only with council leaders, but how well they can work with other alliance members that aren't their main allies.note 

    Where did the Grand United Alliance of Nature / Grand United Alliance of Machines go? 

The GUAM and GUAN have been moved to a new category of Pantheon groups known as House Uprisings. As discussed before, these are above Pantheonic Coalitions (miscellaneous groups) and below Alliances (biggest groups) in size. These are typically themed around a House (like Religion, or War, for example), and don't have official leaders for the entire Uprising, but instead have several movements that make them up, representing various perspectives on their influence on the Pantheon, and those movements will have their own leaders and other affiliated deities. Uniquely, these movements can conflict directly with other movements within the Uprising (the Machine Uprising, for example, would have a movement around machine supremacy and a movement based on machine and organic coexistence). The addition of House Uprisings will be implemented later.

    What if an old Alliance subdivision doesn't appear to be in the list of new subdivisions, or represented by one? 

That means that the old Alliance group is considered obsolete + on the cutlist. There are a variety of reasons for some of the older Alliance pages being removed, but most often it's because they're either made obsolete by the purpose of the reworked Alliances or a franchise/series-based group, which are redundant for the Pantheon and aren't worth keeping. Genre-based groups aren't as bad, but they will not be in Alliance groups, but in separate group categories.

    Why will only the leaders of each Alliance have entries in the initial Alliance sandboxes? 

From then until now, the old Alliance pages are full of outdated entries that don't fit in with the new Alliances, or were booted out of the Pantheon between back then and now. As such, subdivision pages for all Alliances will be initially empty, save for a minor description on the top of the page describing what characters fit in said subdivision. This way, Alliance-focused contributors can manually add back in characters that still fit and adapt them to an Alliance that is no longer centered on one particular character.

We did it everyone. We destroyed Guam.

Do we vote on who the new heads are or is someone going to do it behind closed?

Also, on another random topic, I find the alligator of Big-Lipped Alligator Moment oddly inaccurate to its own trope because that alligator, as unexplained as the gator was, became relevant at the story’s end where it saves the main characters and ate the villain of All Dogs Go to Heaven. Long story short, I would not trust Nostalgia Critic on plot summaries.

[up] Three leaders were chosen for each Alliance. Still open to feedback, though, and once the new pages for them are made and shown, we can discuss them more.


[down] Back a month or two ago, my choices were based off of who would both legitimately represent their alignment and be fit for the reworked Alliances according to their standards and getting suggestions from others. Took this long to write descriptions for all of them due to rl issues and being a lil lazy tongue

On the subject of The Alligator King, I've actually had a possible replacement prepared (alongside another idea that I might as well share while I'm here):

  • Polyblank for Big-Lipped Alligator Moment: the game he comes from practically thrives off of unexplained events that come out of nowhere, interrupt the plot, and are never referenced again, and more often than not they're entirely Played for Laughs. These events often come with entire gameplay styles and mechanics that are abruptly introduced and are never used again.

  • The Lamb for Recruitment by Rescue: This is their main method of recruiting members into its cult. Recruitment generally revolves around rescuing people from various perils, from attempted sacrifices to boss mutations, and through their gratefulness will agree to join your cult, allowing you to mold them into cultists worshipping you.

Done with Reznick.

Trevor Reznick, God of the Accidental Child-Killer Backstory

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/rszmachinemain.png
  • Quasideity
  • Symbol: A post-it note depicting a completed game of hangman with the letters spelling out “killer”
  • Alignment: True Neutral (formerly had unstable bouts of Chaotic Neutral behavior)
  • Portfolio: Unreliable Narrator, Nothing but Skin and Bones, Mental Story, Trauma-Induced Amnesia, Sanity Slippage, The Insomniac, Post-it Notes
  • Domains: Trauma, Mentalism
  • Avatar: Christian Bale
  • Allies: Simon Henriksson, Jesse Pinkman
  • Avoids: John Kramer, Jonathan Crane
  • Sympathy from: Sunny
  • Foil to: Travis Bickle
  • Trevor Reznick is an emaciated machinist who is suffering from insomnia and is distant from almost everyone he meets, with the exceptions of a hooker named Stevie and a waitress named Marie. A meeting with a man named Ivan sends Trevor’s life spiraling out of control, with him getting fired from his job and later barred from visiting Stevie as a result of his increasing paranoia. Trevor later learning that there never was someone named Marie working as a waitress at the airport cafe he visited and a confrontation with Ivan forces Trevor to confront a terrible truth about himself. A year prior to his reckoning, Trevor was responsible for a hit-and-run accident that caused the death of a young boy, which later contributed to Trevor’s deteriorating condition and Ivan, who no one else could see, served as a manifestation of the monster Trevor saw himself as. It’s only when Trevor turns himself in to the police and admits his crime that he can finally be at peace with himself and go to sleep.
  • It had been at least a year since Trevor had been in prison when he was told that someone wanted to visit him. His visitor empathized with his psychological plight and asked Trevor if he was interested in potentially furthering recovery, a question Trevor wasn’t sure how to answer. The visitor showed Trevor some papers for the Pantheon, a place where people who went through terrible ordeals can be given the means to live a normal life. This potential extension to Trevor’s recovery was not without some issues ranging from dealing with fantastical elements Trevor was unfamiliar with to dealing with obstacles that would remind him of his dark past. Although Trevor was wary about getting involved in a place where he could end up falling back to his unstable condition after running over that child, the visitor assured Trevor that even if he opted not to get too heavily involved with what happens in the Pantheon, there will at least be something there to ensure his state of mind will be at peace.
  • One of the few entities in the Pantheon that Trevor was able to maintain amiability towards was Simon Henriksson, who also endured psychological turmoil following a nasty accident. Beyond the dark irony of Trevor causing a hit-and-run while Simon was victim of such a crime, both had to contend with dark manifestations of themselves with Ivan representing Trevor’s guilt and Book Simon being the cause of Simon’s misery and learned that the only way to be on the road to recovery was to confront their own darkness. When it came to hallucinations, the freakish-looking monsters that Simon confronted were far more dangerous than anything Trevor had to endure both from a psychological and physical standpoint. Regardless of Simon going through a more extreme version of Trevor’s ordeal that could have potentially ended in tragedy, Simon was understanding of what Trevor went through and given how Simon is working on recovering from his psychological problems, he’s willing to help Trevor in that aspect.
  • Like Trevor, Rust Cohle was involved in a hit-and-run incident that personally took a toll on his life, with the victim being Rust’s daughter. This led to Rust’s wife divorcing him and Rust becoming an alcoholic and developing a nihilistic view about humanity. Being a detective, Rust is dedicated to stopping crime in spite of his outlook on humanity and it was news for him to learn about another man who ruined his life as a result of an accidental hit-and-run. Trevor didn’t really have anything to live for in contrast to Rust doing detective work despite his alcoholism and nihilism, so when Trevor was brought up to Rust, he replied that not everyone can change for the better, but finding something worth living for after understanding what regret is can be a start.
  • Before meeting the Venom Symbiote, Eddie Brock was involved in a hit-and-run accident that caused the death of a child similar to what Trevor did, but the aftermath of the child getting run over was different. Where Trevor attempted to repress that memory before coming to terms with his actions, Eddie knew from the start that he was guilty of the accident, but ended up absolving himself of that responsibility due to the influence of his father, an action that would affect his personality for years. It took plenty of time for Eddie to better himself as a person and while the Venom Symbiote was a terrifying entity for those unaware of it, Eddie would work with it to fight against frightening foes, furthering his complicated path to being a hero. For an ordinary person who was mentally unwell such as Trevor, seeing something as unnatural as the Venom Symbiote bonded to what appeared to be a physically capable man (albeit one who has made the effort to be a more heroic figure and is understanding of Trevor’s past hit-and-run ordeal), seeing it almost felt like a worse version of his past hallucinations even if others can see the symbiote.
  • While Sunny had a similar ordeal when it came to confronting the accidental murder of a child, how things panned out were different as Trevor apparently never had any genuine friends to hang out with compared to Sunny. Sunny created an imaginary world in his head as a means to cope with him being responsible for the death of his own sister and much like how Ivan was a manifestation of Trevor’s guilt, Omori was a representation of the depression Sunny suffered following Mari’s death. Both Trevor and Sunny had to come clean about them causing the sudden death of a child, though Trevor noted that getting involved in such a murder while having a group of friends like what Sunny went through had the potential to be more devastating for multiple people than Trevor’s own accidental manslaughter. The two were also relatively quiet individuals, though given how Sunny had a strong bond with his group of friends (who saw a bit of Sunny in Trevor when Sunny mentioned him to the group), he believes there is a chance that Trevor can open up to more people even if the process will take time.
  • Within his hallucinations, Trevor befriended a boy named Nicholas, who appeared to be the son of Maria and it only ended up being more devastating for Trevor when he learned the truth about what he did back then. Nicholas was identical to the boy Trevor ran over and Maria was a representation of the boy’s mother, both of their lives being destroyed as a result of Trevor’s negligence back then. As far as the Pantheon is concerned, Trevor is aware that not everyone is willing to forgive him for admitting that he killed a child. If there is something that he is furious about, it’s hearing about the number of entities who are willing to deliberately harm, if not outright kill, children as they serve as reminders of how worse Trevor could have been if he didn’t admit his guilt.
  • As much as Trevor knows that he isn’t expecting forgiveness from everyone over what he did back then, he’s dismayed to learn there are some who are willing to brutally punish criminals, regardless of whether their actions were accidents or not. John Kramer was someone who frightened Trevor given how he punishes those that are guilty of something by putting them through deadly games that can cause further physical and psychological harm to those that are caught in it. Kramer found something intriguing about how someone who committed a crime (even if it was accidental) eventually admitted to his guilt, but if Trevor ended up falling back into his unstable behavior and caused another manslaughter incident because of it, Kramer would have the appropriate punishment in mind for him. Learning about how ruthless Kramer can be when it comes to punishing the guilty has given Trevor plenty of reasons to avoid him as much as possible.
  • Travis Bickle was another mentally unstable man who went through some similar events when it came to a hooker and another woman he cared about, but how things played out ended up being different. Travis, who tried to have a relationship with a campaign volunteer, failed at it, and later took a liking towards a hooker, took issue with what he saw as criminals and low-life humans and sought an outlet for his violence that he ended up embracing. Trevor ended up committing a crime by accident and as a result, his paranoia caused him to be driven out by a hooker he befriended and he never directly met the woman he fantasized about hanging out with. Since Trevor was able to mentally recover to some extent in the end, he sees Travis as a dark reflection of himself and what could have happened if Trevor never sought to find the truth about himself.
  • As Trevor is aware of, the path to redemption for criminals who witnessed the murder of a child (or caused such a thing in Trevor’s case) is difficult and Jesse Pinkman was not only a former criminal who sought to get out of the darkness that he found himself in, but someone who Trevor was able to talk to. Having formerly been involved in the business of making meth, Jesse witnessed the murder of a child at the hands of Todd Alquist and as Jesse’s former boss Walter White slid further into villainy, Jesse tried to break away from it and after plenty of hardships, he succeeded. Jesse had some doubts about meeting someone who was involved with the accidental death of a child, but after hearing about how remorseful Trevor was about it, he came to an understanding. While Trevor’s path to full recovery will take time and trouble will come knocking, Jesse is willing to support Trevor and ensure that the latter’s redemption will fully stick.
  • Following that hit-and-run incident, Trevor became insomniac and was only able to finally get some sleep after admitting his crime. The Pantheon being a place where second chances happen yet many are aware of the mistakes of others, Trevor has been able to sleep better than he has before, but sometimes a bad nightmare that reminds him of his past will sometimes happen and Trevor will end up losing sleep for a bit. While there are plenty of malevolent monsters that only exist in dreams, the bigger concern Trevor has is that he’ll end up in a nightmarish world that’ll remind him of his dark past and that can be a nightmare that he can’t wake up from. That the Pantheon was home to a number of powerful entities that can create dream worlds and can potentially trap victims in them in addition to preying on their worst fears has given Trevor another problem to worry about in addition to his occasional returning bouts of insomnia.
  • Trevor’s deteriorating mental state after running over that child led to numerous hallucinations, which included meeting Maria, Nicholas, and Ivan at different points in time. As much as these hallucinations took a toll on Trevor during that time, there were some in the Pantheon who endured far more intense hallucinations and a few deities were capable of instilling them onto their victims. As the supervillain Scarecrow, Jonathan Crane uses fear gas to make his victims see their worst fears, something that disturbed Trevor as it meant he could see even worse versions of his hallucinations if he were to ever inhale that fear gas. What made it worse was that Dr. Crane was also a psychologist who was obsessed with what others feared and if Trevor was going to visit a psychologist who understood his own problems get further in his psychological recovery, it would certainly not be Crane.

  • Anyone estranged from their parents due to drug addiction or being a criminal lifestyle they don't approve of
    • Alternatively, any parent who disapproves of their criminal children
  • Those who are related to forced labour or slavery (either against or in favor of the practice)
  • Former drug addicts
  • Former criminals who want or have turned away from their life of crime, mostly wants to live a normal life

  • Jesse Pinkman was a small-time methamphetamine cook and marijuana dealer in Albuquerque, New Mexico and a former student of Chemistry teacher Walter White. After he estranged from his middle-class parents due to his drug addiction, he turns to drug dealing to make ends met for himself, which caught the attention his former teacher who wanted to enter the illegal drug trade, to provide money for his family before his terminal illness takes him. Using Walt's knowledge in chemistry and Jesse's knowledge in meth making and the drug trade, they formed a partnership and tried to distribute their highly potent blue meth, which attached trouble for the both of them as they have to deal with other dangerous drug dealers as well as local drug enforcement. Despite earning a lots of money during his partnership with Mr. White, Jesse's mental state takes a turn for the worse as he suffered grief following the murder of his friend by rival dealers as well as his girlfriend of an overdose, causing him to go on a drug binge before Walt was able saved him. After Jesse exits rehab, he and Walt worked under Gustavo Fring, a fast-food restaurant manager who uses his business as a front to disturbed meth across the mid-western US, gaining them more money.
    • Despite later earning Gus's trust as his cook, Jesse would later turn on Gus after he learned that his dealers played a part in his friend's death as well as the poisoning of his new girlfriend's son, leading him and Walt to team up and using his knowledge of Gus to take down the Drug Kingpin. Filling the void left by Gus's death, Jesse and Walt establish their own meth operation, later hiring a former exterminator Todd Alquist, who has connections to the Aryan Brotherhood and another distributor, to help them on one of their heist. But everything went awry as Jess saw Todd shooting as child who witness their heist, leading Jesse to be distraught and deciding to quit the meth business. Adding to that, his disagreement with Walt’s increasing fixation on building a criminal empire, having becoming equally reliant on him emotionally as a father figure but also disgusted with himself and with what Walter had become, leading to him dissolving his partnership with Walt in the process. After suspecting that Walt was the one who poison his girlfriend's kid in order to help him turn on Gus, Jesse decides to work with Walt's brother-in-law, DEA Agent Hank Schrader, who at the time knows Walt's role in the drug trade, to get him arrested. Jesse was later kidnapped by the Aryan Brotherhood member after Walt calls for backup after learning of his brother-in-law's trap and pissed off by Jesse's betrayal, but not before Walt confesses to him that he was ever he night his girlfriend overdosed and watched her die.
    • For several months, Jesse was tortured and became a meth-making slave to the Todd, his uncle and his Aryan Brotherhood group. He tried to escape but once he was recaptured, he was punished by having Todd kill his current girlfriend and threatens to kill her son if he escapes again. Walt later returns to the compound where Jesse was held at and kills Neo-Nazi gang to tie up loose ends, with Jesse getting revenge on Todd by choking him with Jesse's chain restraints and and escaping the compound in Tears of Joy. He would later gather his reminding drug money and pay someone to forge a new identity for him so that he can start a new life in Alaska.
  • Several deities decided to make suggestion to make Jesse a deity after feeling pity for his rough life and being overjoyed by his escape from the compound, but by the time they were able to make arrangements for his ascension, Jesse had moved to Alaska to start a new life. Still, they sent a letter to him anyway, hoping he would accept their invitation to move here in the hopes it would promise him a more peaceful life. When he did read the letter and came to this place, he would find himself being in court of having his life reviewed for his title. He didn't feel comfortable reliving his past and requested a title that is not tied to his life (considering he is currently hiding and all that). While the Council suggested a particular title for him due to his...entertaining use of profanity, Jesse initially protested, being weirded out that such as specific title like that exist. After they showed him a supercut of the times he has said the phrase to the point that "Bitch" was seemingly his catchphrase, Jesse concede to their point and accepted the title.
  • His temple looks similar to a renovated version of his late aunt's house, which he is fine with. He also decided to bring his friends Badger and Skinny Pete as heralds, later including Combo to after learning that the dead can be revived and recruited as heralds too. He considered bringing either of his former girlfriends Jane and Andrea with him but didn't want burden them any further, feeling guilty that he is partially responsible for their deaths. For the most part, after his experiences with the drug trade and his imprisonment, he wants nothing to do with any drug or crime related activities, opting to learn to refine his wooden craft skills in the House of Craft to one day open up a woodshop in his temple. For now, he work as a carpenter here to make ends meet. When not taking clients or doing a project, he mostly stay in the temple either hanging out with his heralds or by himself, thought he does go out occasionally and explore out of curiosity.
  • Has complicated relationships with the deities from his world. Ever since his ascension, he tries to avoid Walter White due to the events that happened when they were mortals. Considering how toxic their relationship became, and having mutually agreed to stay out of each others way before Walt passed, it's for the best. He also actively avoids Gustavo Fring, not only because Jesse refuses to renew his ties with Gus but also to prevent him from knowing he had a hand in the former Drug Kingpin's death, which would be bad if Gus decides to take revenge as he had heard that Gus has gain a few powerful allies of his own. The person he avoids the most is Hank Schrader, as while their views of each other improved a bit following their Enemy Mine situation back when they were mortals, Jesse knows that Hank would try to turn him in as a fugitive. Fortunately for Jesse, Hank has learned of what happened to Jesse after his death and decides (without Jesse knowing) to keep his new identify a secret out of pity and regret for not preventing what has happened to him at the hands of the Neo-Nazis. Speaking of which, Jesse was not happy to say the least upon learning Todd's ascension. Todd tried to visit temple in an attempt to be friendly to him again (not realizing the reasons Jesse killed in him the first place) but Jesse treats to kill him again if he ever tried to come any close to him, his herald or his temple and he's sure to keep that promise knowing he grown to kill when necessary.
  • {Several cops try to hunt him down as unlike Hank, they don't pity him and still want to bring a fugitive to justice, Rust Cohle, Marty Hart and Sae Niijima}
  • {drug users and drug dealers want to get Jesse back on the drug trade, since Jesse's meth making talents are really good and they refuse to work with the 3 other Breaking Bad characters}
  • Jesse finds himself relating to Morty Smith, whose complicated dynamic with his genius grandfather Rick was similar to him and Walt, as well as Morty having experience traumatizing events himself. They don't hang-out too often mostly because of the age difference. Jesse also pities Rick who has his own massive personal baggage and while he is mostly okay with him, he also avoid Rick mostly because his drinking and self-destructive tendencies might cause Jesse to relapse into his depressive state. Same reason why he doesn't hangout with former sitcom star Bojack Horseman after knowing the shady stuff he did in the past. He is fast friends with his Todd Chavez, not because they sound alike, but because Todd sees a bit of Bojack in Jesse, both good and bad and that Todd is glad that Jesse's improving himself.
  • {He holds a great animosity towards the Nazi gods due to what Todd and the Aryan Brotherhood has done to him, More notes about his experiences with Slavery}
  • {Struggling with PTSD occasionally}
  • {Gaming Deities, as Jesse plays games on his off time and has played a Sonic games. On one hand, Sonic probably isn't the type to hang out with a shady person like Jesse even if he is reformed. His past as a drug dealer with a body count and his title related to swearing, I can't see Sonic hanging out with him. But I can see Sonic pity him due to his experiences. Vanoss Crew deities like him as they've watched his show and played a map that is Breaking Bad themed and reacted to Breaking Bad memes. They likely met but via Badger and Skinny Pete since his two heralds know and probably play Call Of Duty}
  • {Several Gods from the Enterprise have taken notice of his heralds' "script." To say they are bewildered would be an Understatement. His heralds also caused a debate on who is the best zombies and the zombies on the Hall of Zombies kept on arguing as well.}
  • Fitting for a youth like him that grew up in the streets, he talks in playful slang and sometimes uses "yo" or "bitch" often. It's noted that he never refers to a woman as a "bitch", with the exception to Walt's wife Skyler behind her back and his mother to her face (who he is already estranged with). His Profanity title doesn't gain him additional power other that a minor confidence boost, where traces of his old loud and impulsive personality would come up from his current somber and woeful one. His title also attaches unwanted dangers for those who also say "bitch" a lot and felt entitled that the title should be theirs and not some random sad Demigod. The Juggernaut himself hates him for stealing his catchphrase, same goes with the dream demon Freddy. Jesse is wise enough to steer clear of Juggernaut when he sees him, though he is not afraid of him. He does however fear Freddy going into his dreams and use his trauma against him. This is why he appointed Scary Terry, an affectionate homage of Freddy from Rick and Morty's world, as his High Priest to aid him in fighting Freddy in his mind. It helps that Scary Terry also like to use bitch a lot and Jesse can relate to his struggles of feeling inadequate for being not scary enough.
  • {House of Meme likes Jesse and he feels flatter by the attention. He plays along with them sometimes. He usually says this whenever a new scientific discovery is made within the Pantheon.}
