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.

@CrimsonShark, Given the importance of how Hinata knitted red scarves for Naruto as a symbol of her love for him, what would Taki Tachibana and Mitsuha Miyamizu think of that? And given Mike is a Vietnam War veteran, how would he interact with a fellow Vietnam War veteran-turned criminal Lincoln Clay?

  • Dr. Eggman (whose real name may or may not be Dr. Ivo Robotnik, Julian Kintobor, Ivo Kintobor or Julian Robotnik) is the leader of the Eggman Empire and sworn enemy of Sonic the Hedgehog and his friends. Little is known about his early history, which varies upon the incarnation. Although he may often seem immature and silly or be sometimes cruel and depraved, he is extremely dangerous, and one should underestimate him at their own peril. Eggman is a genius inventor and cunning strategist, with an IQ of 300.
  • Eggman had been in the Pantheon for a long, long time. However, nobody knows the true details of his ascension. What IS known is that soon after he ascended, he DID concoct a plan to get his other incarnations to share his trope with him. To this end, he managed to gather the Robotniks and Eggman from various universes, and even managed to create a Reality Warping machine to restore the Pre-Genesis Wave Robotnik’s atoms back to the way they were before being struck by the Ultimate Annihilator, and he retrieved his SatAM incarnation from The Void, which is confirmed by Word of God to be where he was sent after his final defeat. To do this, he had to get past the Evil Sorcerer Ixis Naugus. He managed to do this by having Metal Sonic copy the data of Chaos Control so that the robotic hedgehog could teleport in and out of the Void fast enough that Naugus wouldn’t be able to catch him. Soon after, Eggman managed to bring AOSTH Robotnik on board with the promise of getting revenge on Sonic, and gave Sonic the Comic Robotnik, who accepted his proposition, the same deal. He then went to get the X Eggman and OVA Eggman to join them. While he was doing this, the Archie Pre-Genesis Wave Robotnik managed to get the Pre-Genesis Wave Eggman and Post-Genesis Wave Eggman to enter the Pantheon, with SatAM Robotnik doing the same for Underground Robotnik. When Eggman returned with his X and OVA Incarnations, he put his plan into action, and it worked perfectly, with the Boom, IDW, Film and Prime Eggmen joining them in the Pantheon at a later date. There was even an incident that caused the Classic Eggman and Modern Eggman to begin existing as seperate people in the Pantheon as well.
  • The Various Versions of Eggman and Robotnik are an Alliance of Alternates in the Pantheon. Game!Eggman is the founder, and he and his other incarnations dubbed their alliance The Egg Council, though Satam, Underground and Pre-Genesis Wave Robotniks weren’t happy with the name, while the others either agreed with it or didn’t care. That being said, when working together it is very hard to stop them all at once, with the influence of the other incarnations sometimes making even AOSTH Robotnik somewhat more difficult to take down than usual…though Scratch and Grounder aren’t any different than usual, and neither is Coconuts. The Archie Eggmen are planning on proposing an idea to them that they call the Hyper Genesis Wave, which would include using stuff like the Chaos Emeralds, The Master Emerald, The Silver Crystal and The Dream Stone as power sources to rewrite the entire Pantheon in their images. As if they’d never been.
  • Games:
    • The very first incarnation of Dr. Eggman. Nothing about his early life or past is known except for the fact that he looked up to Professor Gerald Robotnik and saw him as his hero, and was very jealous of Maria for getting the attention of everyone around him both before and after her death, while he got little to none. That being said, Maria is still family, and he is well aware that she and Gerald are in the Pantheon. He’ll sometimes send Metal Sonic to watch over her from time to time. While still disgusted by Gerald’s deal with Black Doom and his attempt to destroy the Earth, Eggman has also learned that he’s toned himself down ever since Maria ascended, and has steadily been going off of the path of being an Omnicidal Maniac for her sake, having realized that she wouldn’t be proud of him. This pleased Eggman. After all, how could he possibly rule the world if there is nothing there for him to conquer? Despite Eggman’s villainy, the three of them, as well as Shadow The Hedgehog, absolutely despise Black Doom and are more than willing to put their differences aside to oppose him and his Black Arms.
    • A certain event involving the Time Eater has caused two versions of Game!Eggman to exist in the Pantheon simultaneously. After the events where his conquest of Planet Wisp and multiple other worlds ended in failure thanks to Sonic and Tails, he stumbled across something strange in Outer Space alongside Orbot and Cubot. What happened to be a creature known as the Time Eater. Not only did Eggman manage to pull a Hijacking Cthulhu on it, he travelled back in time and got his past self to join forces with him, and the two converted it into a pilotable Mecha before being stopped by their respective Sonics. It never escalated into an Evil Is Not a Toy situation, and their defeat ended with the two Doctors stranded in a White Void Room where the two bickered for a bit. Nobody knows how the two got out of the white void, and neither Eggman is talking. However, given a certain event which also included how one of the Archie Eggmen got out of the White Void, many can’t help but wonder if Dr. Wily had something to do with it…
    • As of late, he’s slowly started to understand what it means to care for a child. This is thanks to his newest creation, Sage, who he has begun to see as family to the point where he wants to ascend her to the Pantheon. Bowser actually congratulated him on how he feels about her, being a father himself. Suffice to say, Sage is among one of his favorite creations for exceeding his expectations and evolving beyond her programming for his sake, and being what is essentially an artificial daughter to him. Even learning of her affability towards Sonic didn’t faze him, and people who see her as Just a Machine have been sternly shot down and have become foes of his as well, not to mention Ghetsis Harmonia and Ragyo Kiryuin, the latter of which Eggman sees as despicable even by his standards.
    Dr. Eggman: “Who says I can’t create life, huh? Just a bunch of proteins bumping together. Anyone can do that! A true genius does it with code and electrons! And if I did create life, she would be brilliant and loyal and perfectly effective! And you know why? Because her dad is a genius, that’s why!”
  • AOSTH:
    • Very little is known about this version’s past, only that AOSTH Robotnik has a mother. He’s been concocting multiple schemes to catch Sonic and Tails, and enjoys being evil, happening to also be very bombastic in more ways than one. Despite this, he isn’t that much of a threat most of the time, though sometimes this is also due to the fault of Scratch, Grounder and Coconuts. That being said, when he got hold of his world’s versions of the Chaos Emeralds, he became an Overdeity Reality Warper, dubbed himself the Supreme High Robotnik, flung Sonic and Tails back to the Big Bang’s occurrence, and nearly won and took over the world. Despite his silliness, he is still a threat.
    • Apparently gets into chaotic hijinks throughout the Pantheon. Apparently, he wants some Hedgehog Stew and to Win The Race, and is often working with SMG4 and Glitchy’s Mario regarding his “PINGAS” meme. Due to being a massive Phenomenon regarding Memes, he’s a rival of I.M Meen and King Harkinian, though with the former he’s also somewhat of an ally. With the latter he’s more of a foe. Seeing as how he never gets anywhere with his plans, he’s come to hang out with the Amoeba Boys, Dr. Heinz Doofenshmirtz, Dr. Drakken, Doktor Frogg of the League of Super Evil and The Professor. However, he’s terrible at working with them due to how much of a dick he can be, as Shego once pointed out to Drakken.
  • SatAM:
    • This version of Dr. Robotnik was once a Warlord named Julian Kintobor, who was appointed to his position by King Max Acorn to better stave off an invasion from an unknown land. He did a fantastic job, leading the Royal Army to Victory, King Acorn’s plan having worked. After their victory, the King announced to Julian that he would hold a reception banquet for him so that he would be appointed as a minister of science and have the peacekeeping SWATbots dismantled. However, the King was oblivious to Julian’s true, much darker intentions. Reprogramming them before they could be scrapped, Julian ordered his nephew Snively Kintobor and the SWATbots to invade Mobotropolis, starting with Castle Acorn. Upon personally arriving there and seeing the subdued citizens and King, he declared his new name to them: Dr. Julian Robotnik. Thus, he forever became known as Dr. Robotnik. He then proceeded to use his humongous airship called the Destroyer to transform Mobotropolis into Robotropolis. It would have continued to the Great Forest and ended all organic life there, Flora and fauna alike, had a Time-Travelling Sonic and Sally not taken out the airship. Thanks to their interference, Snively lost his hair and one of Robotnik’s arms was roboticized. However, Robotnik and his forces successfully captured and roboticized 95% of the citizens, and the man himself had personally banished Naugus to the Void before these events. Before his arm was roboticized, he utilized the Void once more, banishing King Max Acorn there, and successfully took over the world, with only Sonic, Sally and their band of Freedom Fighters left to stand in his way.
    • This version of Robotnik takes pride in what he does to Nature far more than the other incarnations: Even the Archie ones. Dr. Fetus running through nature and wildlife with a massive buzzsaw like it was paper appealed to him, and he likes the cut of Darkseid’s, Ozai’s, Lord Brevon’s and YHVH’s jib. As such, others have been strongly advised to not allow him anywhere near the House of Nature due to what he most definitely would do to it. Another thing to note is that he’s one of the few people Captain Planet legitimately hates. Many rejoiced when Robotnik’s Doomsday Project ended with his defeat, though after he was retrieved from the Void by Game!Eggman, he has begun continuing his plans of conquest. While unaware of Snively’s treachery at first, when he got wind of it from someone after bringing him in as a herald, Snively earned a nasty verbal lashing from Robotnik. He honestly expected worse.
    Dr. Robotnik: “Listen here, you pathetic little mutant! The only reason I don’t end your life right now is because Allies are a hard thing to come by in this realm. But know that if you even THINK of double-crossing me again, I could easily replace you: And there will be nowhere in the Pantheon you’ll be safe from me. IS! THAT! CLEAR?!”
    Snively:Y-Yes, Sir!
    Dr. Robotnik: “Good.”
    • His pure cruelty, being a ruler who only cares for himself and his willingness to usurp others for power earned him respect from Scar and Prime Minister Honest. In the case of Scar, he killed his brother, was more than willing to kill Simba for his own ends, lied to the Hyenas and became ruler of the Pride Lands, turning it into a hellhole before finally meeting his end. Robotnik can respect that, and Scar feels the same way about him. However, Scar is watching to make sure he won’t get caught off guard if Robotnik tries anything, as the cruel lion would rather not end up becoming one of his robots. Prime Minister Honest’s manipulations of the child emperor remind him of his time under King Max, and the two sympathize with each other over Freedom Fighters working against and eventually overthrowing them. That being said, Night Raid hates him, but finds that killing him is easier said than done given the hordes of SWATBots at his disposal, and his response to their opposition is to declare that if he manages to capture any of them, they’re going into the Roboticizer.
  • Sonic the Comic:
    • Dr. Ivo Robotnik was once Dr. Ovi Kintobor, a kindly scientist who accidentally found his way to Mobius, and proceeded to aid others around him. This all came to an end on the day a Freak Incident turned him into Robotnik, and a friend of his, a brown hedgehog, into the blue speedster known as Sonic. From that day on, Ovi Kintobor was dead, and only Ivo Robotnik remained. Eventually flinging Sonic six months into the future by utilizing something in the Special Zone called the Omni-Viewer, he would take over the world during the absence of the Blue Blur. Sonic would arrive in the future, see the state the world was in, and gather as many people that were willing to fight back against Doctor Robotnik as he could possibly manage in order to take the fight to him.
    • While the other Eggmen and Robotniks have seemingly managed to get him in a somewhat stable state again, the second a plan of his to Take Over the World fails, he degrades back into an Omnicidal Maniac, causing them to do what they did before. He was once approached by The Lich during one of these Villainous Breakdowns where nobody happened to be around and extended the idea for Robotnik to create a partnership with the Grand United Alliance of Destruction, which he happily accepted. Nekron approved of The Lich doing this, as he knows that when he’s in that state, Robotnik doesn’t even care about his own life so long as Sonic and the World dies with him. His partially stable mental state unless he has a Villainous Breakdown has also caused Grimer Wormtongue to return to his side, serving as The Dragon to Robotnik once more.
    • He has been eyeing the Chaos Emeralds for their powers. This stems back to when he was at the complete and absolute height of his power where he absorbed those of the gems for himself, becoming God Robotnik. An extremely powerful Reality Warper who was capable of doing anything he wanted with but a thought, and was only stopped when Sonic and Knuckles took advantage of his ego and tricked him into a trap that caused him to lose their power. One of the Archie Eggmen compared his power in that state to that of Enerjak and Master Mogul, and rightfully so. He could Time Travel, Warp Reality, Mess With Memories, Rewrite History…pretty much anything he can imagine. His power as God Robotnik is only limited by his imagination. As he’s unlikely to fall for the same trap again, the Chaos Emeralds are to be kept away from him at ALL TIMES. Not that this will stop him from trying to take them. What unnerved many was that the House of Prophecy and Fate has grown restless regarding this topic, and when asked why, someone there revealed something horrifying. For all of their effort, it won’t matter. He will regain that power, and once this occurs, only a group of eight Brave Heroes led by Sonic the Hedgehog will be able to stop him together. While most were utterly mortified upon learning this, Robotnik grinned.
  • Archie:
    • Doctor Ivo Robotnik, formerly Julian Kintobor of the House of Ivo, was a brilliant yet power-hungry mad scientist within the Overlander community until his twisted experiments landed him in prison. However, he would escape and decide to flee for his life and seek sanctuary among his people's sworn enemies: the Mobians, who had no idea who he was. In exchange for his safety, Robotnik offered his services to Mobian King Maximillian Acorn. He provided the King tactical information and decisive military leadership. Eventually, the King became so confident in Robotnik that he promoted him to the Royal Army’s Warlord. Now tasked with the mission of ending the Great War, Robotnik would succeed. Shortly afterward, Robotnik made his move. Constructing multiple armies of robots, he’d lead a successful coup and conquer the world, becoming the cruel and tyrannical dictator of Mobius for the next ten years in what became known as the First Robotnik War. The First Robotnik War came to an end when Snively killed Robotnik by turning the Ultimate Annihilator against him.
      • However, this was not the end. An Alternate Timeline version of Robotnik, who he shared much of the same history with, arrived to Mobius some time after. This version’s name was Dr. Eggman. Things differed at a certain point, however. While Robotnik was destroyed by his own Ultimate Annihilator, Eggman subjected himself to Roboticization in a last-ditch effort to defeat the Freedom Fighters of his world. It failed, and thanks to encouragement from Robotnik, Eggman struck back…and won. Having successfully conquered the world and left with extreme boredom, he traveled to Robotnik’s Mobius after his demise, taking on a new appearance and filling the void he left. Eventually, he would join forces with Dr. Wily, and their actions regarding the Super-Genesis Wave would rewrite Sonic’s multiverse.
      • And yet, despite the altered history, including that of his own, it was still not over. He was no longer an alternate timeline version of Robotnik, but was now instead the main timeline’s version of Dr. Eggman. While born as the Grandson to Gerald Robotnik, he would eventually work for GUN and become hungry for power. Snively would eventually discover Robotnik’s plan and find himself forced into his services as Chief Mechanic once they left GUN. With help from the Royal Wizard Walter Naugus, Drs. Robotnik and Snively became the royal advisers of King Nigel Acorn, the ruler of the Kingdom of Acorn. They falsely claimed that the United Federation was launching an invasion against the kingdom. Thanks to his and Snively's "contributions", Robotnik was granted full access to the kingdom's resources. Learning of Sir Charles’ Roboticizer, Robotnik would modify it to enslave Mobians and use it to build his armies. Robotnik would send his armies to begin strip mining for the Chaos Emeralds on South Island and build Chemical Plant Zone and the Death Egg on Westside Island. He also established MeteorTech so that he could send his robots all over Mobius without raising suspicion, eventually having them rampage so that he could conquer the world and build Robotnik Land. He also constructed an interstellar amusement park to harness the Wisps' energy. Robotnik eventually become too dangerous for King Nigel Acorn and Walter Naugus to stop when they found out what he was doing behind their backs and the two were banished to the Special Zone. He would conquer Mobotropolis and start his Eggman Empire there, roboticizing most of the inhabitants. However, at some point, the roboticizer was rendered ineffective, forcing Robotnik to replace it with the Badnik Horde. After conquering Mobotropolis, Robotnik began to go by the name of Dr. Eggman, with a few groups of Freedom Fighters standing in the way of his goal to conquer Mobius.
    • These three incarnations are often regarded as the worst of the bunch. Not only due to their sheer depravity, but being incredibly dangerous. Like how the First Robotnik built the Ultimate Annihilator and planned on committing Omnicide across the world to get rid of everything but himself, and the weapon was capable of doing the job. Or Pre-Super Genesis Wave Eggman, who constructed the Egg Beater and decisively defeated and broke Sonic, albeit temporarily, roboticized Sally Acorn and caused the Super Genesis Wave. Or when Post-Super Genesis Wave Eggman created his Genesis Wave technology. They have been focusing on refurbishing and bringing back their most dangerous weapons to utilize. Namely, the Egg Beater, the Ultimate Annihilator, The Egg Grapes, The Genesis Wave and The Super-Genesis Wave. As of late, the three, with the help of their SatAM incarnation, Dr. Gero and the Frieza Force, have gotten the Roboticizer working again. However, the three have recently picked up chaotic readings from a random village in the Pantheon that is filled with sentient animals, and what Pre-Super Genesis Wave Eggman found startled him. Enerjak is coming.
  • Underground:
    • Robotnik took the city of Mobotropolis from Queen Aleena in a violent coup, placing a bounty on the heads of her and her children Sonia, Manic and none other than Sonic the Hedgehog. He roboticized the citizens into his slaves except for the wealthy who he keeps around to fund his polluted factories. Dr. Robotnik would have each of the children's foster parents (Chuck, Lady Windermere and Farrell) captured and roboticized. However, Sonic, Manic and Sonia would resist Robotnik’s rule and, now part of a musical band, would grow to be the biggest enemy in Dr. Robotnik's rule since he came into power thanks to the powers the medallions they have granting them weapons in the forms of instruments whenever they are used. This is a major reason as to why he wants to annihilate the Suite Pretty Cures, as they remind him of Sonic, Sonia and Manic repeatedly fooling his plans and opposing him with their musical medallions. As he wants to destroy it for the same reasons, he is outright banned from the House of Musicality.
  • OVA:
    • Nothing is truly known about this version of Robotnik. However, the fact that there are multiple versions of Metal Sonic’s leads him to believe that an upgraded model is no longer out of the realm of possibility after his backups on Hyper Metal Sonic were destroyed. He plans on mass producing many Hyper Metal Sonics to conquer the Pantheon using data from the ones around him, and is beginning work on a Mecha Robotnik Mark II. Once he’s done with that, he’ll get to work on rebuilding and upgrading Hyper Metal Sonic. To do this, he wants to use data gathered from the other versions of Metal Sonic to turn him into Neo Hyper Metal Sonic. However, he isn’t going near the Brotherhood of Metallix with a ten-foot pole. Nor is he going near the one that tussled with Sonic, Shadow, Yoshi, Mario, Luigi and Bowser either. Just because he’s evil doesn’t mean he’s suicidal.
  • Sonic X:
    • Dr. Eggman has much of the same history as his Game!Counterpart. After a complete and total freak accident sent him, Decoe, Bocoe, Bokkun and their enemies to Earth, he made it his mission to conquer that planet, where he’d encounter new foes as well. Ultimately he would fail in doing this, and eventually, he’d end up back on Mobius, and would play both sides in the Heroes’ conflict against the Metarex with the ultimate goal of bringing them down. This is so that he could get his hands on the Chaos Emeralds and conquer Mobius for himself, rather than let the Metarex destroy it and the rest of the universe.
    • Dr. Eggman once mechanized the Moon and made it block out the Sun, lying about it being a malfunction. He then created Sunshine Balls, seemingly ordinary light sources, for others to buy so that they could have sunlight. In reality, there were subtle brainwashing messages coming from the Sunshine Balls in order to convince people to like him, and this all ended when Sonic found out what was really going on and stopped him. Mr. Burns approved of this scheme, and so did Nightmare Moon. He’s set out to meet with his Grandfather and Cousin Gerald and Maria with hopes of the same relationship his Game Counterpart has. As some of the Pantheon has discovered, just because he’s silly doesn’t mean he’s dumb. Far from it. He’s actually a genuinely cunning mastermind who can run circles around others, even those who don’t underestimate him.
  • Boom:
    • A far more friendly, but still evil, version of Eggman. Silly, but not nearly as much as the AOSTH Robotnik. However, much like him, Boom!Eggman is often not that dangerous…but he has his moments of Not So Harmless villainy. Feared around the globe and with unlimited resources at his disposal, he seeks to conquer the world and enslave the population. Currently aided by his Dragon Morpho, as well as Orbot and Cubot, this incarnation of the mad doctor concocts many evil plans from his island fortress, but it never seems to go anywhere. But he refuses to give up.
  • IDW:
    • Having the same backstory as his Game!Counterpart, things started to vary. After the events of Sonic Forces, he lost his memory and got amnesia, becoming the kindly mechanic Mr. Tinker. During this time, he built Belle the Tinkerer, but while she was elsewhere, disaster struck. He wasn’t meant to stay as Mr. Tinker, and Dr. Starline had Rough and Tumble abduct the man. With the aid of Metal Sonic, the three restored his memory, and Starline became one of Eggman’s Co-Dragons until he caused The Metal Virus to go From Bad to Worse by bringing the Deadly Six aboard the Faceship, believing he could control them. Starline would eventually be mentally broken and killed by Eggman, who as of late has taken an interest in Surge The Tenrec after she stole his Dynamo Cage to increase her own power. Some villains have praised Eggman for putting the vile platypus in his place when he tried to usurp him.
    • Dr. Eggman, a completely firm believer that you should Never Recycle Your Schemes, has no intentions of recreating the Metal Virus both because of how much of a disaster that became, and that it had already failed. That being said, he knows some of the other incarnations are more than willing to make it again, so he’s been creating a vaccine for himself…just in case that they do. His recent interest in Surge The Tenrec has led him to want to ascend her to the Pantheon and do whatever he plans on doing to her, and his Metal Sonic is more than happy to comply. Metal Sonic, in particular, is IDW Eggman’s favorite creation. He views Metal Sonic as his child.
  • Film:
    • This version of Robotnik was once a United States Operative with an army of robots at his disposal. He and his assistant Agent Stone were sent to investigate a Power Blackout in the Green Hills of Montana. Here, he would find Sonic, an extraterrestrial with amazing power. When Sonic escaped from him with the help of Tom Wachowski, Robotnik dedicated himself to capturing and dissecting the Blue Hedgehog to uncover the secrets of his power. However, when Robotnik ended up learning the magnitude of Sonic's power, he went insane, setting his sights on using Sonic's power to conquer the world. Eventually defeated and banished to the Mushroom Planet, Robotnik would plot his return. Manipulating Knuckles into allying with him and seeking out the Master Emerald’s power, he would return to Earth and try to take over the world once more. However, Knuckles, Tails and Sonic all banded together and he was defeated in his Death Egg Robot by the latter, who was in his Super Mode. These events seemed to have ended in his death, but he isn’t telling anybody in the Pantheon what happened to him. However, his goal remains the same. To harness as much power as possible to further his goal of total world conquest.
  • Prime:
    • This version of Eggman has much of the same backstory as his Game, X and IDW Incarnations. However, things have gone awry on his end when Sonic destroyed the Paradox Prism, causing a shatter in realities. He seems to have vanished from the Pantheon completely since then, but the rest of the Egg Council believe they know why. Around the time he disappeared was the same time they took in the Chaos Council as heralds to further their goals of destroying that blue hedgehog and his meddling friends. Time will tell what happens regarding Prime Eggman and the Chaos Council in the future, however.

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

@M1gami- For Gild Tesoro, Ultra Greed can turn things to gold and uses money as projectiles, Giovanni runs a casino as well, The Glukkons are bound to have some of them be foolish enough to visit given their greed, and The Grandmas have some individuals within them made of gold. One part of their job is turning gold to cookies.

@CrimsonShark- For Hinata, Allison Reynolds was greatly neglected by her parents, never developed real social skills from it, and gained much of her more odd behavior from such. Holden Caulfield is a more interesting case as he shunned himself from his family due to both being expelled from his boarding school and growing more cynical hostile toward adulthood in general, running away from home.

For Mike, The Empress would be willing to work with him to deal with non-corrupt police officers, would oppose the corrupt Frank Tenpenny and Eddie Pulaski, The Son is a member of the Russian Mafia who set up a cartel but didn't manage to handle it much better than how Heisenberg did, Agent 47 is a Consummate Professional hitman, and while The Sniper is a mercenary, Mundy would agree on Mike's attitude on personal feelings at work.

Hikaru and Sachiko Azuma, Divine Parent and Child of Names With Phrase Meanings

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/sachikoandhikaru.jpeg
Sachiko on the left, Hikaru on the right
  • Quasideities
  • Symbol: A sunrise
  • Alignment: True Neutral
  • Portfolio: A parent and child pair adjusting to normal life, Hikaru having autism (though not heavily exaggerated) leading to him being mostly silent, often has an attraction to shiny items, often victims of ignorance but with improvement later on, slowly getting their lives better
  • Domain: Children, Names, Slice-of-Life, Parenthood, Mild Autism
  • Heralds: Masato (Sachiko's husband) and Kanon (Hikaru's sibling)
  • Amicable People: Hana and the Wolf Man, Selma Ježková, Max Jerry Horowitz, Shouya Ishida and Shouko Nishimiya
  • Welcomed Guests to: The Houses of Mothers, School, and Childhood and Adolescence
  • Hikaru Azuma was a child born with an affliction known as Aspergers Syndrome under the care of his mother, Sachiko Azuma. Named after the sunrise of the day he was born, his mother would take care of him to ensure his life would go smoothly and prepare him for the rough life that is modern-day Japan. On that path came a ton of challenges, whether it be her son's condition, to the perils of favoritism, bullying, societal issues and forces outside of her family's control. Regardless of how bad real life can be, she would prevail and Hikaru would slowly grow accustomed to the realities of childhood, make new friends and would continue being assisted by his mom to prepare him for his eventual adulthood as well as his adaptation to his affliction.
  • Living under the umbrella that is Japan is very stressful as the country, proudly shown in various ways, may not be the very paradise it is shown at times. With various challenges stemming from a society not really known for socialization and constant ostracization for even the tiniest of disabilities, it makes it a miracle that Hikaru would survive even in his high school days. Thankfully, Sachiko did much of the effort to make sure her son was well established early on as she has high hopes for her children. Naming her two children based on certain events, such as Hikaru's name being born under the sunrise and Kanon named after the sound of a cannon on radio, made her treasure them both well, especially the former, for who she is willing to ensure her son's future is well.
  • Their arrival to the Pantheon was a deep surprise, as neither did the two expect themselves to be chosen for a new realm for them to exist on, with Hikaru's slow fears making him worry and Sachiko calming him down. After being led in a large structure akin to a temple, they were introduced to a realm where characters were chosen as Gods, though Hikaru was busy staring at some of the golden pillars as Sachiko was understanding of the whole kerfuffle. However, missing their old home and especially their remaining family, she formally requested if their home in Japan would suffice, as she believes that they can go through the Pantheon on the condition that her son will grow up to be a "cheerful working adult", of which it was granted as they know have access to Pantheon grounds while busy in their personal lives.
  • Much like their experience in their home, both of them were worried of their stay in the Pantheon, knowing how some people would perceive Hikaru's mannerisms and would quickly blame it on his mother for failing to discipline him. Oddly enough, most of the Pantheon's residents seem to care less of their presence, especially when considering the majority of the Pantheon being mostly occupied by superpowered beings as regular Quasideities like them are not the highlight. While this brings less of a burden to their image, one issue comes from that they are alone despite being in such a vibrant environment. It would not take long till a single mother by the name of Hana, who has seen Sachiko in very good heart, to assist and guide them around the Pantheon. She has seen quite a few, if not very similar circumstances between the two of them, and seeing Hikaru slowly going along her children has made both of the mothers smile. She has a great feeling for Hikaru's future and wishes Sachiko the best to maintain her heart, especially as he grows into an adult someday.
    • Hana's guidance for the two of them has also made her friends with another single mother by the name of Selma Ježková, a poor Czech immigrant who dedicated most of her life to help her son fix his hereditary eye condition. Much like Hana, Selma's heart has also gone out to the pair, seeing that Hikaru's condition is harder to fix and requires a lot of attention, which considering where she lives, is very difficult to pull through. She also learned from Sachiko's stories the truth about Japan and how almost all countries seem to have unique issues over the other, but is often pitied due to her wrongful death, though Selma has no regrets; in the end all that mattered was that her son would gain a better life after the eye operation, with or without her.
  • With somewhat of a slow experience roaming around the Pantheons, common avenues that the duo (and her other family) often go to are in three specific houses, the Hall of Mothers and the Houses of School and Childhood and Adolescence. The Hall of Mothers is where Sachiko often have small talks with other supportive women, in particular, how to raise a child of special needs, though it goes without saying that not all mothers are is supportive as the aforementioned two. On the other hand, the Elysium Academy is where Hikaru's studies for Junior High are added and the latter House is where a few of his new friends are made, particularly younger children due to his age. Most other houses do not interest them in the slightest, they are a very busy family after all and Hikaru has a long way to go before he finally lives out exploring other avenues in the Pantheon.
    • Her son's entrance in the House of Childhood and Adolescence is actually a very long story. In one time during his introduction in the Elysium Academy, mentions of his homeland being Japan was discussed by some of the younger students, seeing that they have had idealized visions of what living in Japan must be. This is what compelled Shouko to intervene and with the help of Shouya, got Hikaru's attention. One would ask what an autistic child has to be connected to a deaf girl, as it turns out that Japan is not a very accepting place for people with affliction and is a society filled to the brim with societal issues, most of which are not solved and often leads to people holding their own issues until said person snaps in various ways. Both Hikaru and Shouko seem to have gotten a very grim reminder though the two of them have gotten better, she seems to be reminded of her past life whenever she sees the child. Sachiko is proud to see a few Japanese locals willing to help her son out.
  • Very few people in the Pantheon have shown symptoms, or at the very least, confirmation of the affliction known as Aspergers Syndrome, a communication disorder that is often hard to treat and requires very special attention to those affected. This is what compelled Sachiko to meet Max Jerry Horowitz, as she can learn from his story the effects of what he has gone through. What she was not prepared was a dark story that entailed with depression, meltdowns and eventually, his slow but peaceful death. She was scared and ready to leave but when he heard of her child's similar symptoms, he stopped and agreed to help the child in other possible ways. When asked, he simply stated that he wanted to make her child smile throughout his life, a goal she has also wished to accomplish.

[tup] I approve of giving a PRRRROMOTION! to Dr. Robotnik.



@CrimsonShark (RE: [1])

I don't think Annabeth would be enemies with Kratos. It's important to note that the God of War and Percy Jackson versions of the Greek Gods are very different from one another, Athena included, and the PJ cast would likely be shocked and appalled by just how callous and unempathetic most of the GoW versions are.
[. . .]

I largely understand that Camp Half-Blood in general would have a weird relationship with Kratos given their different circumstances. When reworking Percy Jackson's profile I tried to keep in mind that he'd understand where Kratos is coming from, and I'm trying to keep things balanced here. But I also want to keep the following in mind:

  1. In the Pantheon, the gods of Greek mythology and other mythologies are Composite Characters of all their (major) depictions in pop-culture. This means Pantheon!Athena is both PJO!Athena and GoW!Athena at the same time.
  2. The loyalty that Camp Half-Blood has to the Olympian gods is very much a sort of "My mother, drunk or sober" attitude in the PJO books rather than a squeaky-clean devotion.
  3. As my Annabeth draft shows, the PJO books have their own sort of "Kratos" in Luke Castellan. Given that Luke was able to find redemption and go to Elysium in The Last Olympian, I figure Percy and Annabeth would hope Kratos can do something similar.

@m-95, similar to what Crimson said, I think Annabeth would feel uncomfortable around Kratos. The Olympians are much different to what she's used to, and initially Athena was an ally to Kratos. She was one of the only two gods he regretted killing in the original trilogy, and her death wasn't intentional. In the end of the third game where her true personality and plan was revealed, broke whatever trust and respect Kratos had for her. Technically since we use a Composite Character version of the Gods, this wouldn't be the only time Athena allowed the world to end and manipulate her half-brother to try and remake the world in her image. Speaking of, Annabeth should be enemies with Amatsu-Mikaboshi, enslaved almost every god in the universe, destroyed most of the entire multiverse, and Athena's association with him leaves a seriously stain on her reputation and image.

  • If were listing Wonder Woman as an ally, I think it'd be alright to list Donna Troy and Cassandra Sandmark (technically Annabeth's Half-Aunt).
  • Another thing about Kratos. If you're keeping the "Don't you ever make the same mistakes your father made, boy." to Atreus. It only makes sense for Kratos to give her the same warning (read threat) to Annabeth regarding her mother.

So I got a pair of reworks for y'all:

  • Cuphead, Mugman and Ms. Chalice for Inkblot Cartoon Style: The entire game is one huge homage to the classic cartoons of old, with damn near everything being a Shout-Out to an old cartoon and the entire game being hand-drawn animated on cels in the same style. The reason I'm suggesting to add Ms. Chalice to their reworks is that she's basically treated as part of the main cast nowadays, as well as being just as homage-heavy as the other two. Aside from that, the profile contains no shortage of underdeveloped texts and outdated info that could use some touching up,

  • The Devil for Devil's Job Offer: The game's Big Bad, his job offer is what kicks off the plot. After tricking Cuphead into gambling into debt, he offers him and Mugman a job to track down and fetch every contract from every debtor that owes him in exchange for their lives. The original profile has some short texts that could use some expansion, as usual.

@ Hamana: Sei Asagiri has a learning disability and while she's a quick learner if things are framed in a familiar context, this caused her no end of grief when it came to her teachers who held no patience. It was part of the reason she became a bitter youth before she cleaned up her act. That being said, Sei personally is opposed to being treated differently hence why she dropped out of school instead of taking a special course.

Hal was the The Quiet One in school due to selective mutism. It's caused her own woes with bullying and she could only speak to a few people, one of them being her homeroom teacher due to reminding Hal of her late mom.

Speaking of Sonic, what more needs to be said about Shortfuse?

Shorty the Squirrel, God of Re-Explaining The Situation For The Audience (Shortfuse the Cybernik)

  • Shorty the Squirrel was once an ordinary if stubborn squirrel Mobian until Dr Robotnik decided to kidnap his friends and neighbors. He wanted to create a new type of Badnik called a Cybernik, a nigh-indestructible armored soldier. Shorty was to act as a battery, but a combination of his own stubborn nature and damaging equipment allowed him to retain control and use it as Powered Armour. A solo-working Freedom Fighter with the exception of his good friend Tekno the Canary, Shortfuse was known to re-explain his backstory often as a sort of Running Gag. Despite his power he hated the suit, however he would eventually be freed from it as part of a feedback loop to stop Robotnik's mad scheme of environmental collapse. Though he has a good heart, Shorty can prove difficult to work with and his name is quite appropriate.
    • In the "unofficially official" fan continuation, Tekno would update the suit so he could take it on and off without issue. However some tampering by outside forces eventually led to some falling out between the two. Eventually the two would have to deal with "Set", an alien impersonating the Egyptian god causing trouble for them, and Tekno eventually killing "Set". It's unclear when he'll return from Solstice but it is clear that his relationship with Tekno is broken beyond repair.
  • Shorty hails from a far-off place in the Sonic multiverse, called by some as the "Fleetway Sonic" universe. There Sonic is more irritable, Super Sonic is a Superpowered Evil Side, there are Freedom Fighters like "SATAM" Sonic's world yet more lore/plots are akin to the games, among other differences. As the first from his continuity to show up, he had a lot to learn about the greater Sonic multiverse. For starters, when it comes to those he recognizes he couldn't recall Amy having such an open crush on Sonic. He is technically part of the Freedom Fighters, but they aren't on the best of terms since (much to his regret) he chose pursuing Vermin over stopping Johnny Lightfoot from falling into a chemical vat. As a whole Shortfuse works alone, but he has formed outright friendships with Sonic deities he isn't familiar with.
  • The Running Gag of explaining his backstory may be what got him a position in the Trope Pantheon, but to the readers and people within it it's a source of derision. Some have made fun of him as "being as annoying as Scrappy Doo", but Shorty doesn't see how that's an insult as he actually likes Scrappy. This is probably down to Scrappy being, well, a scrappy fighter and he thinks Scrappy's got spunk, so he enjoys fighting alongside him. Another hero lacking the best reputation, Hot Rod, was noted by Shorty. While they're ambivalent outside of the general fight against evil, Shortfuse was nice enough to say that he thinks it's unfair that Hot Rod got called a Replacement Scrappy considering who could really live up to Optimus Prime?
  • Shortfuse is reminded of his own armor seeing Iron Man's Powered Armour. He's not sure how to feel about Tony Stark, as part of his wants to admit he makes impressive suits while another is reminded of the baggage of his suit and why he has it. Tony doesn't think he and Shorty would be a good hero team-up, but he does think he and James Howlett would get along; like Shorty Logan is on the temperamental side, and while his adamantium endoskeleton certainly helps him it wasn't by his choice and very painful. A Jerk with a Heart of Gold like Shorty, the two decided to talk with each other after overhearing Tony's musings and found they were starting to like each other. Though he'd rather not test it, Shorty wonders which is stronger and by how much; Megatel armor or adamantium blades. As he survived months in a volcano when an EMP knocked out his systems, Wolverine's pretty sure it'd be an actual challenge.
  • While Megatel is nigh indestructible, it is not truly invulnerable. Robotnik once dealt with a traitorous Badnik made out of the stuff by dousing him in liquid nitrogen and shattering him. The suit itself has a limited supply of oxygen so if he's stuck underwater he could drown, and it is susceptible to computer programs; aliens once aided him with a program that let him enter and leave the suit at will. Sadly, he lost this program in order to thwart his enemy Vermin the Cybernik. Shorty has chosen to tread carefully in the House of Machinery and Technology out of concern some of the more nefarious members will try to hijack the suit for their own ends, and when he has to visit the Hall of Ice and Cold he avoids antagonizing any cryomancers. Shorty also avoids large bodies of water when in the suit. He was kind of freaked out when Wolverine revealed why he doesn't like swimming; his adamantium bones would sink him and his healing factor would keep him drowning for a painfully long time.
  • Because of how he was unable to take it off for the longest time, one wonders how Shorty was supposed to eat or use the bathroom, the only answer being Eggman's musing of "well, it's not like any of my Badniks ever needed it". However being stuck in the suit unable to experience those things or properly fit in to society certainly add to Shorty's distaste of the suit. He relates to Alphonse about the inevitable Sense Loss Sadness that comes with it. There are a couple other deities who know the pain of being stuck in a suit, but they're certainly not friendly; Dr Weil and Victor Fries. Like most people Shorty's disgusted at Weil for somehow being a worse tyrant and criminal than Fleetway Robotnik, and thinks the only mistake subjecting him to that fate was the people who did being stupid enough to let him potentially return. He's a lot less vitriolic at Mr Freeze as he's genuinely sympathetic, but as he's still a criminal Shortfuse doesn't trust the guy.
  • Seeing as how he was forcefully turned into a Cybernik and only kept his free will out of a mix of stubbornness and glitched systems, Shorty is appalled by the Cybermen. Unwilling Roboticisation is a horrifying concept for him and the Cybermen suppress their souls alongside with surgically altering themselves to be more mechanical. They insist that it's for survival, but Shortfuse agrees with the Doctor that it's a Fate Worse than Death. Unsurprisingly the Cybermen, and anyone else cool with Unwilling Roboticisation, don't care what he thinks; they're more interested in incorporating Megatel into their design. Dr Gero is currently trying to capture Shortfuse the Cybernik so he can analyze the suit and upgrade his android body into one made of Megatel.
  • Outside of the Sonic franchise Shorty has a number of specific deities he considers to be an enemy, first of them being Set. The pantheon's Set may not be the same one he had to deal with and he's in fact grateful that the imposter was dealt with, but the squirrel knows the real deal is bad news and wants to make sure he can't cause trouble on Mobius. However even Set is but a lamb to the other alien claiming to be the Egyptian deity, Sutekh the Destroyer. Though Sutekh considers life down to the bacterium as his enemy, he finds Shortfuse's opposition as laughable. The Osirian is such a dire threat that Shorty is tempted to take Set's offer of a power up to help fight him, but refuses to take it because he knows he'll be indebted to the desert god.
  • Agent Smith and Hal Stewart are also enemies of Shorty. The former is because he is a digital Omnicidal Maniac who has the ability to take over and replace people both in the virtual world, and should they be able to leave the Matrix, the physical. Disgusted by his inhabiting of humans, he would rather hijack a strong Megatel body like the suit Shortfuse uses. Due to what nearly happened to him Shorty was disgusted to learn that the Matrix used people as a power source, which motivates him to give aid to the crew of the Nebuchadnezzar. While appreciated, he's still a moody solo hero so it's not like they're friendly with each other. The latter is an enemy because like Infinite he sees him as an Evil Counterpart, if not an outright Foil-Hal also gained great power without meaning to (albeit because someone wanted a hero and not a minion), but he quickly abused his powers and was an entitled manchild.
  • While mainly focused on revenge against Eggman and other singular enemies, GUAM and the Hounds of War are the two institutions Shorty actively opposes. The GUAM are down to his long history opposing Robotnik's machines, and while they aren't beholden to any organic many have rather negative goals for organics like Shorty-they also would love to finish where Robotnik started and turn make Shortfuse their thrall. The Hounds of War are opposed by the squirrel due to one of his adventures; when he was left without a purpose during Robotnik's overthrow he joined up with the alien Insectra Empire supposedly to fight evil aliens, but in reality they hijacked his suit in order to fight a pointless, bloody war. He's still ashamed by the whole fiasco and is disgusted by any group who's mission statement is endless war.
  • Him and Brian Griffin don't see eye to eye; Brian thinks he's annoying, Shorty thinks he's pretentious and both have called the other Holier Than Thou. Closer observation reveals the real reason they don't get along is because Shorty is a squirrel and Brian is a dog. While Shorty doesn't show many squirrel-like traits, Brian still acts like a dog and he has a very poor reputation in the squirrel community for hunting squirrels. Brian tried to rile up him more by giving him directions to another squirrel, that being Screwy Squirrel. While Shorty can be annoyed, Screwy's mischief and trickery quickly got on Shorty's nerves and he had a shouting match with him before storming off and leaving.
  • Kronk and Squirrel Girl are not squirrels, but they do really like them. Kronk is capable of speaking squirrel, and he thinks the idea of a squirrel superhero in metal armor is pretty cool. Together with Squirrel Girl, the two hit up on the idea of making a squirrel-themed superhero team alongside Conker and Scrat. Thanks to the latter's Comically Invincible Hero routine the group has earned the ire of much of the Grand United Alliance of Evil for defeating heavy hitters like Aku off-screen with squirrels, and perhaps most satisfying of all was Shorty punching out Eggman and breaking his stuff. However Shorty ultimately prefers working on his own, and asked to leave. He did enjoy his company, but he stated that it's not just an attitude problem from him; he's actually have criticisms to Doreen's way of doing things.
    Shortfuse: "With all do respect I don't think your shtick is a permanent solution. Your powers are gag-based, so while you can thwart Thanos you can't stop him for good because that wouldn't work tonally. I can humiliate Robotnik with you, but I don't think I can put a final end to his villainy unless it's done seriously. And I can't imagine you'd be compatible with dead-serious villains like the Lich or Femto either".
    • For those wondering how he feels about Scrat, he feels pity and frustration. Scrat is stubborn like him and will never stop going after that nut, but Shorty feels it's not worth it. As for Conker he's ambivalent since outside of the brief time they worked together they don't have much in common.
  • As Shorty spends more time in the Trope Pantheon, he becomes more interested in being a better hero in order to oppose Robotnik. Finn decided to help him with that, as while opposing evil has always been his deal he's gone through a good amount of development and maturity in his time. Two other heroes who wanted to help and work with Shorty were Earthworm Jim and Finn. Jim, like Shorty, has his powers thanks to the super suit he wears, though he has no hang-ups or issues with it. Finn used to be a Stormtrooper before turning to the good guy's side, and he was indoctrinated as one when he was very young. Because of that, he can sympathize with Shorty's outrage at how Robotnik forcibly turned people into Badniks.

  • Opposes: Lofwyr
  • A former slave to the Celestial Dragons, Gild Tesoro outgrew his impoverished early life to become one the most powerful people in the world through his wealth. Operating on his personal cruise ship, Grand Tesoro, all of his illegal activities were excused as Tesoro was recognized by the World Government and his former enslavers as a world power. What Gild Tesoro desires are to become the most powerful person in the world, forcing his former slavers to bow to him in the end. Ironically, Gild Tesoro would enslave others through debt traps his giant gambling capital deploys and is as cruel as those who abused him beforehand. What is not helped is Gild Tesoro's Gol-Gol Devil Fruit that controls gold which he encased Gran Tesoro with, granting him near omniscience and invulnerability in his own city. He was fairly comfortable with his position of power until he tried to turn the Straw Hats into his property with so many others. Though Tesoro was an extremely powerful foe who could have easily squashed these rebels, he was ultimately defeated by a pummeling from Monkey D. Luffy and his Gran Tesoro was torn apart by his own hand trying to defeat his enemies. Gild Tesoro was supposed to be sent to jail by the World Government for endangering so many and losing the protection he enjoyed prior, though he managed to escape once again and into the Pantheon. To be honest, it is a long story that he does not like retelling due to how long it was. Tesoro would say there would need to be a thousand chapters and you would have to be insane to write all of that.
    • But we will retell it anyway. Gild Tesoro was NOT happy to learn that the Straw Hats were in the Pantheon and knew he could not just go after those who destroyed him yet. His Devil Fruit may be powerful and he can use some Haki, but it would be suicide to rematch a person who is considered an Emperor now. He had to rebuild his empire once more, and Tesoro knows which stepping stones to use. Bringing back several of the illegal businesses that shot his wealth up, Tesoro had another giant cruise ship constructed for himself to become his new Gran Tesoro. What Gran Tesoro needed most (aside from new staff) was gold needed to coat everything with. It's not just for his Devil Fruit, it also serves to pronounce the pizazz of his character. So you know what he did to get the gold? He stole it all from Smaug's hoard. It was surprisingly easy due to his Devil Fruit and the dragon waking up to find half of his gold gone was not a pleasant moment for anybody nearby.
  • Seeing as a dear friend of his was killed in slavery and was too branded a slave, one would think Gild Tesoro would be lenient on slaves. No. No, he isn't. In fact, he is just as cruel to the people he has enslaved as the Celestial Dragons that Tesoro wants to overthrow on the social ladder. He could have funded the Revolutionary Army to have the World Government literally overthrown but chose not to out of his own selfishness. Fisher Tiger would be so disappointed that a slave he freed ended up becoming a similar tyrant. The additional irony is that Donquixote Family was his main business rival (who he stole his Devil Fruit), being led by Doflamingo who was a former Celestial Dragon. It could be inferred that Tesoro needed the World Government existing to grant him the status that he coveted, something that he does not seem to be bothered by. Even Rob Lucci has to pause, thinking how much of a horrid human with barely any principles Tesoro grew to be.
  • A person who helped prop up Tesoro's return was Lex Luthor, who heavily invested in the questionable businesses that Tesoro managed. He called it a good investment on his end, knowing how powerful the Gold Emperor will become. Plus, he taught Tesoro a few things to keep his money from prying eyes. If a rich person hires the right lawyers, those people who come to collect federal taxes will be scared off. The IRS or whatever will just harass the poor while they, the ones in the social hierarchy, can laugh it up in their yachts while children die starving. When Luthor met up on their said yachts (made of gold too), they shared drinks to signify their strong working relationship with each other. When Tesoro asked why Luthor would invest in his businesses, Luthor cheekily replied that he really wanted a nice vacation spot to frequent towards.
    Luthor: If you try to bury me with gold, you'd wish you'd be sitting in a cell.
    Tesoro: Noted. Want to sit in a sauna naked with some sexy ladies?
    Luthor: I am not taking a bath with you.
  • If there is one person who is watching Tesoro heavily on whether or not he pays his dues, it would be Lofwyr. Not that Lofwyr particularly cares if the government gets their money, but he is doing this to deflect attention away from his own tax evasions. Well, not exactly "evasions" by definition but "getting away with not paying the government through legal avenues" would be a more proper term. Lofwyr chooses Gild Tesoro for his business of gambling not providing much for society besides the numerous jobs his giant city offers. Also, he lost some money in one spin at Gran Tesoro. The man will surely pay for what Lofwyr is sure was a rigged machine.
  • When it comes to franchising, Eugene Krabs can either jump on the entire idea or simply not. It is not a choice born out of business strategy, it is more of whenever money presents itself to Krabs at that moment. He opened a second Krusty Krab but that is as far as he has taken it. So when Gild Tesoro tried out a Krabby Patty and believed that this food would be a good menu option to fatten his guests up with. Especially those Americans with high cholesterol giving them heart attacks would surely love some good burgers. Krabs was initially not on board with the entire idea of having his secret recipe used by anyone else, though seeing as Gild Tesoro offered him tons of gold in the process, he could maaaaaaayyyyyybeeeeeeeeee strike a deal with him. More pounds of gold later, Tesoro and Krabs forged a deal on having the Krabby Patty brand be used in Gran Tesoro, fattening up consumers as he likes. Except for that Krabs actually got a good deal out of it. Because the "secret recipe" Tesoro used was not actually the Krabby Patty Secret Formula that so many covet. Tesoro just paid a giant premium to use the Krusty Krab brand without even knowing. If Tesoro would ask why the Krabby Patties taste different between their chefs, Krabs would say that wet burgers cannot be helped.
  • King Dice introduced Gild Tesoro to the Devil and the demon and Tesoro struck a deal. The Devil would provide an extra security entourage if people's souls are forfeited as the final thing they could gamble. In the new Grand Tesoro, those who have already lost enough to be indebted to Tesoro have one chance to lose their debt and walk away without consequence. If they lose, their souls belong to the Devil and they will be put to work at Gran Tesoro with Gild Tesoro as the one will they work for. The Devil gets more souls and Tesoro gets more workers. Working with Tesoro is already like being dragged to Hell, so the Devil did not mind giving some workers away. What the Devil DID mind was when Cuphead and Mugman showed up to gamble at Gran Tesoro, not learning from their prior incident. When Cuphead and Mugman went to find the Devil was again taking contracts, they proceeded to blast him AND Tesoro with all their might. Though they still have their agreement, both the Devil and Tesoro are pissed that their work was undone by two cocky gamblers.
  • Scrooge McDuck finds Gran Tesoro repulsive as he thinks it is a dumb place filled with dumb people who gamble their dumb income to lose it to dumb tycoons. It is pretty easy to infer that Scrooge believes that Gild Tesoro is a rather dumb man. Tesoro was hurt by this statement and offered the duck a free swing at the machines to catch a whiff of the gambling arts. Scrooge was going to blow him off, though if it is free, he cannot refuse an offer. A few hundred pulls later and Scrooge was down to one penny left. Tesoro was going to celebrate that he nickel and dimed a person who spoke badly about him, only to be shocked that Scrooge proceeded to win his money back plus more a few pulls later. The duck explained to the bewildered Tesoro that karma always runs favors the bold before running off with his winnings. Tesoro is not the kind of man to throw the ban banner on harmless people, though that does mean he cannot take his anger out on others for this mess. Him encasing someone with gold is his specialized mute button.
    Tesoro: Who dares send me a funny meme that I do not find humor at? If those beneath my heel try to humor me without MY expression permission, then you'd wish that you were born blind and crippled.
  • Wario has been a frequenter of Gran Tesoro, and a fellow casino owner as well (it is not surprising to those who did not know this). Wario has been one of the few who could hang out with Tesoro and is not looked down upon, with Tesoro finding Wario good company from blatantly evil capitalist to capitalist. Wario has been trying to sell his casino to Tesoro, believing that rebranding it with the Tesoro name would increase profit margins significantly. Though Tesoro acknowledges this is a potential outcome, he rejects it as he feels that it would cheapen the Tesoro name, his name to be exact, by putting his name onto any dingy casino. Wario is still buttering him up regardless, to no avail.
  • There are so many places that Eggman has visited that involve gambling, it was easy for Gran Tesoro to hook Eggman into the game. Though Eggman drowned in debt almost immediately though was surprisingly paid it off without any hiccups. The engineering business is so lucrative for Eggman that he could just sell a machine he made to some government, where his funds would replenish almost instantly. Not to say Eggman is an addicted gambler always, he just finds himself losing big time. What makes Tesoro not outright enslave Eggman is that the man is genuinely a good mechanic, having fixed and upgraded machinery within Gran Tesoro as payment. The inventor returning becomes an opportunity for free tech work, if anything. Though Tesoro did lament that for some reason, the machines Eggman creates have crushed animals between the gears that start smelling up.
    Eggman: I'm gonna roll big numbers, baby! I'm playing at the poker table! I just lost 300,000 thousand dollars, but it's okay since I won 700. Please don't form a gambling addiction, don't be like me. It's over for me.
  • Oogie Boogie has been having fun in Gran Tesoro since he won big there. He used his entire winnings to make his own specialized roulette in the casino so actually lives are on the line. Some poor "employee" would be tossed into the ring and those betting can win big prizes or have said employee tortured as a loss. This section became a Sleeper Hit for Gild Tesoro who had to hang it to Boogie, not even he could have come up with such an ergonomic idea.
  • Celestia Ludenberg is on Tesoro's shit list. He can rig all the machines he wants, he could flip hands all he could, but she keeps on winning. He had to resort to actual cheating after seeing her sweep up the casino for so much money, Tesoro could not afford a new yacht for himself. Being an oligarch, it is a societal rule for him to own a boat whenever he wants. Tesoro is sure that this young lady must have killed his subordinate to take the Luck-Luck Devil Fruit since he has no explanation on how she could just go past every obstacle he could throw at her. It is because of her that Tesoro had to implement a rule in the casino that if someone cheats, they will be charged for twice of everything the place on the line. He cannot just simply ban her, as that would be a humiliation onto itself, that he is so afraid of someone who is notorious at the gambling scene. He already brought one famous gambler down, and it should not be this hard for him to bring another one to her knees. Not in that way.
  • Ultra Greed has been utterly decimated by Tesoro multiple times, being farmed by him for his gold. Tesoro can handle the Greeds just fine as his Devil Fruit is that powerful. Whenever Ultra Greed comes out, it is just a cakewalk at that point since Tesoro could just hurl all the money back at ultra Greed's face. Ultra Greed could simply just not throw the thing that is damaging him, though programming dictates he cannot stop. Then when Ultra Greed turns gold, Tesoro just tosses it around as if it were nothing since he controls gold. After beating down Ultra Greed, Tesoro just extracts all the gold he could of the creature to leave. Since Ultra Greed farming takes time, Tesoro does it when he wants to stretch his legs out and the slaves could not handle the beatings anymore.
  • Giovanni had Team Rocket HQ be under a casino, but never truly had the casino be that elaborated. When seeing Gran Tesoro, Giovanni was blown away by how gigantic the place was. The gold plating, the women who wear bunnysuits for some reason, and the cheery atmosphere made for a good distraction. So much of a distraction, Giovanni nearly forgot that he blew a thousand at poker. He now looks back retroactively and believes that he should have put more effort to the casino disguise of his headquarters. Or maybe he should have not let a minor inside who completely defeated him and his cronies.
  • Glukkons have been some good regulars at Gran Tesoro and could actually afford to lose a lot of money. They could make it all back within a week and buy another yacht soon after, so good drinks and good games are what the Glukkons enjoy. It got to a point that when Tesoro looked at the numbers, Glukkons made up 30% of Gran Tesoro's revenue. He wonders he should open a strip club too just to add another section of his moneymaker.
  • The Grandmas piled onto Tesoro once as revenge for him killing a few of them. Tesoro apparently thought ugly gold statues he found lying around were actually Grandmas made of gold... to which he smelted to become part of the floor. Even his Devil Fruit abilities could not hold back elderly women choking him out. Not wanting to use the gold of Gran Tesoro against another enemy, Tesoro decided to book it and hoped onto his yacht, sailing to the reaches unknown. As of this writing, he still is not back from wherever he is. Either way, Gran Tesoro thrives though the Grandmas can be seen playing the slots frequently, just waiting for Tesoro to come back.

[up][up][up][tup]

Now that the Sonic Frontiers Hype Period is up, here are my last two proposals for a while.

Sage, Goddess of Having Sympathy for the Hero

Reasoning: Sage wants nothing more than to be rid of Sonic at first, seeing him as nothing but a stubborn, reckless thorn in her side. But as time goes on and she sees how noble, determined, and caring he is to both his friends and to her, she not only begins to understand him better as a hero, but eventually finds the thought of his death mostly unbearable (unless it’s by Eggman’s hands).

THE END, Divine Entity of Astral Finales

Reasoning: The Game takes place on the Starfall Islands and not in Outer Space. However, come the confrontation against this thing, which is the Big Bad and Final Boss and Sonic and Sage must pull an Enemy Mine to defeat it. The fight takes place in Space, right in Earth’s orbit, with the stakes of preventing it from destroying the planet and the universe. Here’s a video, but it also includes the fight against Supreme which is on the islands.

@Hamana: Kayla Day had communication problems in her middle school life and found it difficult to gain social skills aside from being on her smartphone, on top of bullying problems.

[up] Nina Cortex and her uncle Neo Cortex have a similar uncle-niece dynamic. Lea is an Evotar, a digital AI clone that ended up gaining a close-knit group of human friends despite being a clone of a real person (and eventually befriended the person she was cloned from), and the closest person to a father figure, Benedict Sidwell, who funded her creation and did care for her, was also a terrible person who blackmailed people and saw other Evotars as expendable clones. There's also Astro Boy, Jenny Wakeman, and Robotboy as machines in human families. Additionally, while Dr. Fetus is a horrible, despicable villain who torments and troubles everyone else, especially his nemesis Meat Boy, he reluctantly ended up getting a Morality Pet in Nugget, who is Meat Boy's kid and the only individual Dr. Fetus shows compassion towards.
