Welcome to the Trope Pantheons thread! Please read the rules:
- When writing a profile, take note of the following:
- The very first thing any contributor should do before working on an idea or a profile is to propose and nominate the idea on the Trope Pantheons discussion thread
. In the forums, you must discuss with other users on adding ideas and seek their approval with sound reasoning, a paragraph of reasoning to justify taking a trope should be sufficient. This is done to see if your proposal is the best representative and so, in case your profile is turned down, you do not waste time writing something that others might not find suitable. You can also get some assistance in the forum thread by either asking for help and those interested asking if they can help. Attempting to work on ideas without a nomination and at least one net thumbs-up will not be accepted regardless of how much you have written already. Submissions that are added without discussion are likely to be deleted and those who violate those rules by adding Pantheon content without discussion will get reported to the mods.
- If you feel the need to remove a character for some reason (poor quality, outdated titles, etcetera) and replace him/her with another or outright rework, please see what the other tropers think about this in the discussion thread before doing anything hasty. For reworks in particular, nominate the idea as you would with new characters or profiles. Use good reasoning to see if your idea can easily replace the character present without drawing out your statement or giving too ambiguous claims most do not understand.
- In the same vein, if you adopt a profile from another troper, it is recommended that you make an announcement that you have done so on the discussion thread
. More often than not, a trope that was reserved for something was given away to someone else. Check the Related tab on the top of a page to see if a trope or character has been reserved by a user, either in the Pantheon or the Sandbox sections.
- 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
- If, for whatever reason, you are writing about a God who just happens to be a person in real life, just try to be very careful about what you decide to say. Do not try to make the editing seem too meta (self-referential) and use the creativity to create hypothetical scenarios towards fictional characters. Some real-life individuals, including content creators (fictional content created by them is still fair-game, but do not bring up the creators themselves in such cases), may be considered disqualified for profiles due to controversies that would make them concern the Rule of Cautious Editing Judgment. To determine where a current creator would be disqualified:
- Wait for at least a month after the latest significant update for a creator's controversy before any decision can be made. If a confirmation from the questioned creator (or associates) themselves occurs, then wait for a week.
- Immediate disqualification for either a guilty sentence in a significant court case against the creator, or evidence of consistently repeated, deliberate, and/or intentionally provocative hate speech and advocacy of dehumanizing perspectives, with lesser examples warranting caution instead.
- For creators with a clear persona of their character disclosed before any scandal, the persona can have a profile with no mentioning of their real-life information. Ambiguous existence of a persona would have to be discussed further hand for anything more decisive.
- For obvious reasons, gods cannot be followers, high priests, or heralds. The 'gods' have ascended meaning there is no need for said character to be a follower of another if they have ascended.
- No hype profiles, please. 'Hype Profiles' are profiles that have been made out of ongoing events and have not been around for a long time. This creates 'hype' due to popularity and certain elements either through certain scenes, memes, dramatic acting or considered overly awesome. They are not bad tropes but building a portfolio solely for that is a bad idea, as they do not say a thing about representing the trope best (unless it's those trope concepts that they are trying to embody for a long time)
- You can see one if the profile is only showing off how awesome they are or suddenly pushing how 'significant' they are thanks to the just very recent events rather than respecting the longstanding good representations of the trope. And usually having... minimum portfolio or flavor texts and being a bit too generalized or self-contained to events from within their home series instead of interacting with other Pantheon members.
- The very first thing any contributor should do before working on an idea or a profile is to propose and nominate the idea on the Trope Pantheons discussion thread
- When posting in the forum, take note of the following:
- When you suggest a God, please explain why they fit the trope. Not everyone is going to understand just "X should be the God of Y because they exemplify the trope" off the bat, especially if they're unfamiliar with the work.
- You must use the Trope Pantheons discussion thread
in the forums if you wish to add a new deity, story, something else of importance to the Trope Pantheon canon, or reworking an existing deity (be it simply improving their existing profile or changing their title).
- For new and reworked deities, 3
means the profile will have a one-week waiting period.
- For new and reworked deities, 4
is a 3 day waiting period.
- 5
is an automatic ascension for new and reworked deities.
- Speaking of reworks, for anyone that wants to improve such profiles, they have to review the current trope the character(s) has and see if it still holds up or if there is a better rep for their trope.
- For new and reworked deities, 3
- For adding new Treasures to The Great Treasury or new Dominions to the Dominions Expansion, the following rules apply:
- For new Treasures or Dominions, 3
is a 3 day waiting period.
- 4
is an automatic addition to the Great Treasury or Dominions.
- For new Treasures or Dominions, 3
- Do not repost a profile in the forums more than twice a day if noticeable changes have not been made in between. If a profile is posted a third time in a row without noticeable alterations, it will be downvoted. This is so spamming of no-effort profiles is less frequent and to prevent tropers from getting aggravated seeing the same profile over and over. The minimum acceptable change has to be one flavor text.
- The Pantheon is not a mouthpiece for you to voice your opinions on certain characters. You may like certain characters more than others, but do not make the mistake of making profiles for characters you like to look like Character Shilling.
- Every troper new to the Pantheon is barred from approving or downvoting profiles until they have ascended at least two profiles, this means avoiding the usage of "
" or "
".
- Do not include fan reception in any profiles. It has nothing to do with the character themselves and will create unnecessary conflict.
- Write a detailed explanation on why the character is the best candidate for the deity of that trope. If people disagree with you, do not force it on the people.
- Keep in mind that if you still want to try to find a trope for a particular character, you are only given three chances to find a particular trope for them. If a suggestion goes past three possible tropes, then it will come off as shoehorning a character into the Pantheon just for the sake of that character to be there.
- On a related note, even if a character does have a free trope being suggested, there is still a limit of three attempts for suggesting that character for that trope. If no one responds to that certain proposal after being posted three times, then it will get to the point where the idea will be seen as being shoehorned into the Pantheon. In addition, the idea needs to be considered acceptable and approved because they are good, not for the sake of pitying others. After all, no one is responding to their idea.
- You can also adopt a profile or idea to work on from another contributor by messaging a request to them (preferably through private messages). Even if you get their permission, you still have to announce your adoption to the forum. Note that if the idea wasn't nominated in the first place you still have to properly nominate it.
- When posting Pantheon related stuff to the wiki, take note of the following:
- Do not put a link to these Pantheon pages into the main wiki page. The moment you want to note in a trope example that the character is a God of this trope, do not do it. If you see leftovers of this practice, correct the situation by deleting the offending text. This goes for any non-Pantheon page. The only exception to this rule is if a page in the Pantheon could be confused for a page in Main, like Good Colors, Evil Colors and Pantheon.Good And Evil Colors.
- Do not bring things that would incite fights; hot topics and 'urgent' news are not pertinent to the Pantheon's mission. For example, the political scene and some really bad politicians. We are not here to fight each other, so don't suggest things that go in that direction, this is a fictional Pantheon after all.
- To add a Pantheon page for a certain work, 4 or more characters coming from the same series/franchise should be ascended before adding the page. For Creator specific pages, 4 deities coming from the same creator and 2 individual work pages coming from the same creator is the minimum to warrant a page.
- Do not create a trope page for a story until the story is fully completed.
- When writing a profile for a character, here are a few things to note:
- Please refer to Text Formatting Rules when writing a profile, since understanding how to make and edit site pages in general is a necessity for working on profiles or other Pantheon content. Additionally, if you are not experienced with English, refer to this forum page
, as proper English spelling and grammar is expected.
- All deities should be sorted by their divine ranking. Put Overdeities on the top of the page and Quasideities on the bottom. Also, be sure to add them in alphabetical order by their first/given name (can be reversed if it is Eastern ordered). For a group, if there is no official name for them all list down all their names by order of relevance or (if too long to list) title them as Insert Name Here Main Characters or some other identifiable title along the same lines.
- The maximum number of tropes that a god can have is two, but do not try to abuse that fact. If you need to use a second trope to specify a certain thing about their position, that can be excused either because said character represents their trope choice very well alongside the first trope. It is still generally encouraged to only have one trope.
- A trope can only belong to one profile at a time. The only time two profiles can share a trope is if there are explicit variations listed in the trope page proper (e.g. Muscle Angst is held by both Biscuit Krueger and Chihiro Fujisaki as the former represents "Too Much Muscle" and the latter represents "Not Enough Muscle")
- If the character you are about to add to a House already exists in another, make sure to mention that this person has spots in another House as well. Up to 2 places can be made for a deity at most.
- For a character's theme song, try to avoid calling it "Theme of God X" or "Theme of (Show where God X originates from)". If possible, try to find out if the song has an actual name through research. Most importantly, it has to be part of their series' official soundtracks from the media. Do not list songs that are made by fans or outside sources. If they were not specifically used as music for that specific character, then they do not count. Furthermore, it has to be a general theme specifically made for that characters' appearances, not some generic music that plays for many other instances not related to the character in question.
- For images, when adding an image for your chosen character, it is highly recommended to use a stylized image that embodies the character or renders that also highlight a character's behavior (such as cool poses). Most images should be from the main adaptations of the character unless the images from the other media are of a higher quality than the adaptation. Unless it is needed, do not use fanart for images. If you are, please attribute it to the original artist. Due to the website's dark mode, removing white backgrounds from an image is paramount. This website
is suggested to do the background removal. If an image you have takes up too many bytes, it is suggestible to use this site
to reduce the byte size. If the byte is still too big, run the compressed image through other sites (or even the same one) to compress even further. Use wikis to look for better images, as even wikis for the series might not contain good official images.
- Creativity is your friend. While it is not recommended to get too ditzy at your ideas, it is best that when writing a profile for a certain character, do you think of capable scenarios between X and Y. Tip: do not use shallow examples (X wields a sword and Y wields one too) and try to think of relationships that make sense (i.e those characters that are shout-outs for another).
- Please refer to Text Formatting Rules when writing a profile, since understanding how to make and edit site pages in general is a necessity for working on profiles or other Pantheon content. Additionally, if you are not experienced with English, refer to this forum page
- Pantheon Content:
- Some series or genres will eventually have greater representation in the Pantheon than others. This is unavoidable, but a little diversity helps to make you not look like a shill. Try to ensure that if you add a deity from a popular series, make sure that it is because they are a good representative for the trope in question, and not just because they are connected to another deity in their respective canon.
- As far as deities from actual mythologies, there is generally an expectation to build the profiles off interactions from fictional portrays rather than basing it entirely from the actual myth. Therefore, a mythological deity should be more of a Composite Character whose main identity is from the actual myth.
- Occasionally there will be Gods that carry a title without a trope. This is not forbidden, but it is well-advised not to abuse them. The only house where trope-less profiles are wholly allowed is the House of Food. Mainly due to most food items lacking tropes, and adding tropes about said foodstuffs is slightly unnecessary. However, the character being ascended for their choice of food, or food-related thing must be a decently good representative of said item. (i.e their Trademark Favorite Food, or something that they are closely associated with In-Universe, or both).
- For Dominions and Treasures profiles, always consider what made those places/objects popular in the first place. Were they plot-important, identifiable imagery or have a unique aspect of it? Do not just bring regular objects under the basis of following a certain canon.
- Do not write in self-promotion or blatant advertising. Minor references to something are fine but writing that clearly intends to advertise something will not be given toleration.
- Some series or genres will eventually have greater representation in the Pantheon than others. This is unavoidable, but a little diversity helps to make you not look like a shill. Try to ensure that if you add a deity from a popular series, make sure that it is because they are a good representative for the trope in question, and not just because they are connected to another deity in their respective canon.
- For Profile Standards:
- Flavor text is used to describe certain things about a character, place, or object. To avoid short ones, it is recommended to write flavor text with 4-7 sentences that can fill around 2 lines each. Be warned that adding too many sentences does not equal good flavor text as it is not an essay of sorts (unless words are substantial and do add to the overall line).
- Character Profiles of a certain person should have the following:
- A portfolio that contains at least 7 (at the minimum) tropes describing their character.
- Flavor text count for a deity profile should have by minimum, 10 (depending on if the character in question has enough relationships/characterization) to 15 with a maximum of 20-25 for an individual profile.
- On the other hand, group profiles (profiles of a group that has 4 or more members) have their maximum flavor text count to 15 minimum, giving individual lines for the other members of the group (unless the members are not as characterized) up to 30 at max.
- Dominion profiles of a certain place should have the following:
- A portfolio that contains at least 5 (at the minimum) tropes describing the context of the place.
- Flavor text count should range at least 10 to 15.
- Treasure profiles (inanimate objects without a trope) should have the following:
- A portfolio that contains at least 6 (at the minimum) tropes that describes the object itself.
- Flavor text count should be at least 7 flavor text up to 12 to constitute a treasure profile.
- Overdeity: Omnipotent-level Reality Warper deities capable of manipulating the entire universe (or at least the world) at will. Within their own universe they are believed to be omnipotent, or at least impossible-to-completely-destroy embodiments or concepts.
- Greater Gods: High-level Reality Warper deities that are extremely powerful (capable of destroying or changing anywhere from a large city to a planet at will) and very strong non-reality warpers capable of doing the same thing.
- Intermediate Gods: Deities at this level are capable of strong but specialized powers such as hydrokinesis, pyrokinesis, etc. without major drawbacks and low-level Reality Warper beings capable of affecting their immediate area at will.
- Lesser Gods: Capable of highly specific or little power on their own, or suffer from Power at a Price. However, they may be able to ruthlessly exploit their power or combine it with just being badass enough to make up for it.
- Demigods: Badass Normal citizens of the pantheon, making up for their lower status with strength, strategy, and/or planning.
- Quasideities: Any otherwise normal human, human equivalent, or below without any special powers or training will fall here.
- An image, if possible. Please use official art or a screenshot for a picture.
- Rank: This can range from Quasideity, Demigod, Lesser God, Intermediate God, Greater God, to Overdeity, based on the representation of power mentioned above.
- Symbol: An image or icon used to represent the deity.
- Theme Song: Official song (in other words, no fan music, regardless of quality) that usually is used in affiliation with the character. If the deity is a musician this will most likely be their Signature Song. If possible, give a link for reference, preferably on either a website like Soundcloud
or YouTube
.
- Alignment: Good, evil, neutral, etc. Forget about The Great Character Alignment Debate here; the Pantheon is one of the few places where you can assign Dungeons & Dragons alignments to characters that don't have an alignment system. After all, the Pantheon is based on D&D and is made for fun.
- For Pokémon deities only:
- Gender: Defines the gender of the Pokémon; if genderless, it instead defines what gender they identify as.
- Ability: Provides the Pokémon's ability. If they can Mega Evolve, the new ability is listed as well.
- Moves: Defines the four moves used by a Pokémon. A Z-Move may also be listed.
- Portfolio: Tropes associated with the character.
- Domains: Things that the character has influence over.
- Herald: Non-ascended loyal character that is from the same series as the ascended character.
- High Priest: Non-ascended like heralds, but not from the same series, and can serve as a worthy replacement in case the deity would be unavailable, incapacitated, dead, or otherwise incapable of carrying out their duties. They can be served as part-time workers in case the originals are busy with some jobs. Co-Godhood is accepted depending on the approval of the originals, usually if the co-deity is from the same series.
- Followers: Non-ascended characters that are not part of the Pantheon, but would probably worship this character by the fact that they share the ascended character's trope.
- Relationships between ascended characters go here with your chosen character, it goes something like this:
- Allies: Members of the Pantheon that are allies, those that share the same values as them and would theoretically be friends with them.
- Rivals: Members of the Pantheon that are rivals, people who may look at your character with suspicion or a challenge.
- Enemies: Members of the Pantheon that are foes, those who would see your chosen character as a threat, either from their perspective or yours.
- Additional Character Relationships: Members of the Pantheon that do not fit in various relationships (examples include Enemy Mine, Vitriolic Best Buds, Teeth-Clenched Teamwork, Headbutting Heroes, Friendly Enemy, Friendly Rival, Just Friends, etc.), allies, rivals, or enemies.
- Partner: Defines a partnership with an ascended deity and Mon-type. (if any)
- Feared by/Fears: A deity whom the members of the Pantheon notably fear or are feared by.
- Respected by/Respects: A deity whom the members of the Pantheon respect or are respected by.
- Opposed by/Opposes: Not necessarily the same as "Enemies", but this is used for any deity whom the members of the Pantheon directly oppose or are opposed by (basically the opposite of "Respects", "On Good Terms With", and/or "Commonality Connection") in terms of certain viewpoints, regardless of alignment.
- Pitied by/Pities: A deity whom the members of the Pantheon feel pity for or are found pitiable by.
- Conflicting Opinion: Sometimes, the Deities argue over specific themes and philosophies.
- OPTIONAL NOTE FOR CHARACTER RELATIONSHIPS: Should the list for Character relationships (IE. Allies, Enemies, etc.) become too big, categorize a certain number of characters to a specific group putting them on a sublist (One example: Luigi is from the same world as his brother Mario, hence Luigi should be fall under the Super Mario Bros sublist.)
- Add the Intro. The intro is made up of two trivia, the Ascension Text (or just the Ascension) and The Bio. Both are necessary, but which order you use for them may vary depending on the profile in question. It may be better for one profile to have The Bio first and the Ascension second or vice-versa, although for the most part, the order is irrelevant:
- The Ascension Text: This is the story of how the character got into the Pantheon and/or was ascended. There are many ways for this to happen. They may be tricked into it or have simply wandered into the Pantheon, they may have had an already ascended character bring them in, they may already be in the Pantheon (via being another deity's Herald or sharing a trope) and got "promoted", or some combination of the above. Anything is possible in the Pantheon, so use your imagination, but try to incorporate their trope into the story, if possible.
- The Bio: A brief synopsis of the character's backstory. No need for the character's entire life/production history, but just give enough that those who don't know the character can get an idea of how the character works.
- Now add some random trivia/facts about events/alignments/moments/fights/friendships/relations etc.
- And some more trivia/facts.
- And a couple more.
- Note: Standard amount of flavor text for Deities/Characters is 10-15 (15-20 for group profiles) at minimum to 20-25 (30 for group profiles) at maximum.
- An image, if possible. Please use official art or a screenshot for a picture.
- Theme Song (Optional): Not important as compared to Deity and Dominion profiles but a notable mention if there is an accompanying song in use with the object.
- Alignment: Refers to the dominion's role in their story, be it those used by villains or used by the Player Character.
- Portfolio: Tropes associated with the dominion.
- Domains: Things that the place has links to.
- Relationships (Optional): Unless the location has a connection with a specific deity, relationships are optional and may not be required. However, if there are deities linked to the same series as to where the dominion is linked to, note them using the relationships, this includes deities that theoretically have interest with said dominion, good or evil otherwise.
- Add the Intro. Here the introduction of the Dominion is added with some tidbits regarding the origins of its' creation and usage in the story. You can also add what made it popular/iconic/important here.
- Now add some random trivia/facts about events/alignments/moments/fights/friendships/relations etc.
- And some more trivia/facts.
- And a couple more.
- Note: Standard amount of flavor text for Dominions is 10 at minimum to 15 at maximum.
- An image, if possible. Please use official art or a screenshot for a picture.
- Appearance: A shortened description of the item's looks with some notable features also mentioned.
- Class: Refer to the Treasure Classification System in the Great Treasury.
- Alignment: Refers to the objects' role in their story, be it those used by villains or used by the Player Character.
- Theme Song (Optional): Not important as compared to Deity and Dominion profiles but a notable mention if there is an accompanying song in use with the object.
- Museum Check: A note that says whether the item is viewable by the public.
- Portfolio: Tropes associated with the item.
- Domains: Things that the item has links to.
- Relationships (Optional): Unless the item has a connection with a specific deity, relationships are optional and may not be required. However, if there are deities linked to the same series as to where the item is linked to (especially the original owner of the item), note them using the relationships, this includes deities that theoretically have interest with said object, good or evil otherwise.
- Add the Intro. Here the introduction of the Treasure is added with some tidbits regarding the origins of its' creation and usage in the story. You can also add what made it popular/iconic/important here.
- Now add some random trivia/facts about events/alignments/moments/fights/friendships/relations etc.

- "...who’d want to eat bug soup where the bugs are still alive?" Timon & Pumbaa would like a word.
I would like to apologized to PuzzarianIdeal as I forgot to include your thumbs for the Detroit Androids.
"Hold on, just a little while longer. Everything will be alright..."
I'm trying out a new double profile setup for The Judge and The Queen.
- The Judge is friendly helpful fourth-wall seeing guide to The Player and The Batter and the implied Guardian for Zone 0. He is an talking cat with large sharp canine-like teeth. He's smarter and stronger than he looks.
- The Queen is a mysterious Not Quite Human monarch, in charge of the various Zones of the game. She assigns the zones to the Guardians to rule over them and may or not have control of specters. She's also the Final Boss of the game. All of her special attacks are unique in that it consist of her berating The Batter for his mistakes, which affects not only him but his Add-Ons as well.
- Both: Notable world-destroying deities, either Evil-ones or morally gray ones who believe that there's no other choice, or believe it is the only way to cleanse the world, preferably similar to The Batter | Those Who Commit Pater Familicide and Those who were victims of it.
- The Judge: Cute creatures with creepy months | Notable cat or animal deities (probably similar to The Judge. Evil-aligned cats are also welcome.) | Tutorial related deities or those who like to give helpful guides to in-puzzles or quest | Cat killers and abusers | Heroes who fought against Genocidal or Omnicidal Maniac and/or Heroes who failed to prevent said destruction and lived to regret it | Heroes who failed to save a loved one in front of them (Bonus points if that loved one is a sibling and had their own Heroic BSoD afterwards) | Body-possession related victims and evil-doers (Preferably those whose body was taken over from the inside)
- The Queen: Looking for Any Royal People who has trouble balancing their royal duties and being a parent | Any non-royal leaders in a similar situation | Any normal (or otherwise) parent that works too much (even if they claim they still love their kids and doing it for their sake) | Any deities would be opposed to or experience Parental Neglect | Deities who is a parental figure to their creator or similar | Queens with similar mystique | Deities with Weapons-Grade Vocabulary | Deities who are possibly a Tulpa
Other suggestions and feedback are welcome.

- The Judge, whose real name is Pablo, serves as the game's friendly fourth-wall-seeing guide to The Player and The Batter's adventures; giving the tutorial for the game's battle system and hints to some of the puzzles and paths of around the main Zones. He is a white talking cat with large sharp canine-like teeth, one of the first things we noticed in him when we first meet him. He also implied to be the Guardian for Zone 0, an island with an empty yellow building surrounded by liquid plastic, where The Player and The Batter first spawned in. Being a Guardian, he's able to transverse the various Zones using keycards (keycards that only other Guardians have). He later provided one for The Batter, since he supported his mission of purifying the world from evil specters. He also has a brother named Valérie, who resides in roof of Zone 2's Library.
- In Zone 2, The Batter and The Player met Valérie, who appears to have gone mad thinking he was Japhet, the Zone's Guardian and claims to be in control the specters that haunt the Zone. The Judge would request The Batter and Player's help to defeat the specters hunting the Library and travel with him to the roof to make his brother come to his senses. When they confront "Japhet", he reveals himself to be a small bird living inside the cat's mouth, having taken over the Valérie's body after he attempted to eat the bird. As Japhet transforms into his true large form, Valérie get ripped apart in front of his brother, causing The Judge to lose his mind and becoming unavailable to accompany The Batter and Player to the rest of the Zones. He was later seen meowing loudly on the same rooftop calling out for his missing brother, seeming unaware of the events during The Batter's fight with Japhet and the "purification" of his whole Zone after the Guardian's defeat. The Judge would later come back to his senses to confront The Batter and The Player on the final room after they have killed The Queen and her sickly ward. Realizing the truth behind The Batter's mission, he berated The Player for helping The Batter eradicate nearly all of the Zones. He would offer The Player the chance to switch sides and preventing the Batter from completing his mission. In one path, The Player sided with the The Batter, leading to The Judge's demise. In another, they sided with The Judge to defeat The Batter. Reflecting on The Judge and The Player's regret for their actions, The Judge is last seen walking the purified Zones alone.
- One day, two travelling deities were visiting the Hall of Architecture when they spotted a white cat with scary-looking teeth. Although frighten at first, they noticed that it looked confused, so they approached the animal with caution to take a better look at it. The cat, seeing two strangers approach him, decided greeted the two.
"Greetings dear fellow travelers, I initially assumed that you are only an apparition but I am glad to have been mistaken. Nevertheless, I will introduce myself. I am The Judge and I am delighted to have found other living beings after so long. Anyway, maybe you can help me unravel the mystery that fate has placed before me. I have stumbled upon this vast and colorful labyrinth during my current travels. Unfortunately, I cannot recall entering through any door or cube to get here and I seem to have gotten lost in this bizarre structure."
- The travelers were surprised by how eloquent sounding this cat is and decided to took pity in him, picking him up and bring him to a near-by vet for a check-up. After the cat was deemed healthy and verified that the cat didn't belong to anyone, the travelers advised The Judge to go to the Court of Gods to seek answers on why he was bought to this place. When he was finally summoned into the High Court, they explained that he was chosen as a deity to represent a "Trope" and the trope that was chosen for him was regarding his appearance: Cute Creature, Creepy Mouth. The Judge was both flattered and offended with this description but at least this affair answers a bit of his queries. They then direct him to his temple, which houses a floating red cube that leads to a pocket dimension that resembles Zone 0, but no keycard is required to enter it. There was also a white floating cube next to it that allows him to return to his original realm at any time. Ever since ascending to the Pantheon, he rarely visits his original realm.
- The Judge is now aware of the adventures The Batter and Player took while he was not around, which was previous told to him by the High Court. He also has multiple memories of different timelines, an uncommon quirk for various deities from stories with Multiple Endings. He mainly remembers three of them: The path where he died early
after The Batter and Player repeatedly strike him foolishly in the tutorial and the paths where The Player sides with Batter or himself. This makes his relationship with The Player somewhat complicated, as he can never know what the Player is thinking despite his awareness of the fourth-wall, whether they are a friend or foe. Not helping the fact that they can take multiple forms and alignments. For now, he keeps an eye on The Player and making sure they and the Batter won't meet up this time around.

- The Queen, whose real name is Vader Eloha, is a mysterious humanoid entity who rules over all of the Zones. It was said that she rebuilt the world from an unknown wasteland to a utopia and assigned the Guardians to be in charge of the various Zones, giving her energy so that the Guardians can perform their duties. She is also the motherly caretaker of her and The Batter's creator Hugo, a sickly little boy. She may or may not also be responsible for the creating and controlling the dangerous Specters that plague the various Zones. That is what is likely known about The Queen, as everything else about her is a mystery; from her exact reasoning behind the Zones' creation, the extend of her roles as The Queen and as Hugo's caretaker, her knowledge of the suffering within her Zones, and her relationship with The Batter.
- The Batter and The Player would learn about The Queen as they are travelling throughout the various Zones but won't meet her until one of the final sections of the special zone known as The Room. As The Batter confront The Queen in her chambers, he seemingly accuses her of neglecting Hugo as she wasn't always present to tend to his needs. The Queen, in turn, accuses him of destroying the place she rebuilt meant for Hugo's well being. In an effort to protect the child, The Queen fought The Batter, but ultimately defeated by him and unable to protect the child from what's coming to him. What makes her different from the Guardians The Batter fought is all of her special attacks consist of her phrases berating The Batter, while flashing her words on the screen; words that while meaning little to The Player, they seemingly hold a special and hurtful meaning to The Batternote . Her wordy attacks not only affect him but all his other party members, The Add-Ons, as well, dealing lots of damage and can inflict status effects into them.
- Ever since learning about deity nominations from his allies, Dedan, one of her loyal royal agents, had made a few requests to the Court of Gods to ascend his beloved Queen into the Pantheon. The Court finally approved his ascension request after finding a suitable title for her based on one of her abilities and she was resurrected in the flesh along side her own set of Add-Ons. After being briefed on her new situation and the perks of deification, she was directed to her temple, which contained a floating red cube that when touched, leads to a pocket dimension that resides a replicate of her former private domain, The Room. Seemingly taking the situation very well, she would coordinate with The Guardians regarding their future plans, mostly rebuilding and managing a new set of Zones (which the Guardians were already doing when they ascended) as well as defending themselves from any danger that could harm all of them.

“I'm willing to admit that I may not always be right, but I am never wrong.” ― Samuel Goldwyn
You likely know this already, but a profile can't be in two different Halls of the same House. I'd go with Words.
Count Bleck wanted to erase all of existence due to being consumed by grief over losing Timpani, the love of his life. He dropped it when he reunited with her (when she's the Pixl Tippi), Dimentio decided to hijack his plan so the Void would continue consuming all worlds. Odio's spell Armageddon allows him to destroy all of reality and he's motivated by sheer hatred for humanity over the Trauma Conga Line he went through during the Middle Ages chapter.
In The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, Thu'um, the language of dragons, has magical properties, where specific words have their own effects, so something with the Dovahkiin and Alduin.
Maisie Farange was neglected by her parents as they kept arguing and fighting each other most of the time.

SING TO ME, LEND ME THE SONG OF BLASPHEMYokay, last call. i made the edits to the ur-quan’s information for the plantars’ profile as @Necromancer suggested, and hexxus is now an enemy of the calamity trio, too
anne, sasha, and marcy have 5
s and the plantars have 4. almost ready?
Entry 129
So, Jo, I may have used the Calamity Box again. I know, I know, “but Mar-Mar, don’t you remember what happened last time?” Don’t worry, Jo, I made sure Anne and Sasha were together with me this time! We’re in a place called the “Trope Pantheons”! Let me tell you about this place…
Anne Boonchuy, Sasha Waybright, and Marcy Wu, Goddesses of Friends Fighting (Anne: Anna Banana, The Beast, Boobchuy; Sasha: Sash, Sashy; Marcy: Mar-Mar, Darcy; All Three: The Calamity Trio, Sasha and the Sharps)

- Lesser Goddesses (Greater Goddesses with our Calamity powers; I’m a Quasideity without them, unfortunately.)
- Symbol: The Calamity Box, obviously!
- Theme Song: Our hit song No Big Deal
!
- Alignment: Oooooh, character alignments? Big Creatures and Caverns vibes! Let’s see… Chaotic Good for all of us, Neutral Evil for Sasha initially, and Chaotic Evil for my Darcy persona.
- Portfolio: We’re friends who used to be a bad influence on each other, we had to fight each other a lot, we were all isekai’d, we’re Action Girls, a Power Trio, and True Companions in the end.
- Anne: I’d say she’s The Heart, a true Blue Heroine, she lost one of her shoes, and all her adventures started on her birthday. Oh, and she has an 11th-Hour Superpower.
- Sasha: She’s The Leader and a Pink Heroine, or a Red Villainess, formally a MASSIVE Control Freak, before doing a Heel–Face Turn.
- Marcy: Oh, I definitely fit The Smart Guy, Emerald Power, Cute Clumsy Girl, Demonic Possession, and Grand Theft Me (not too happy with the last two!)
- Domains: Adventures, Heroics, Friendship, Gems
- Heralds: Mr. and Mrs. Boonchuy for Anne, Grime for Sasha, and Javi, Kettle, Femur, Oilvia, and Yunan for me
- Allies: We’re great friends of any frog dieties like Hopediah, Sprig, and Polly Plantar, Kermit the Frog, Tiana and Naveen, Frog of Crono’s Party, and Greninja, as well as time/dimensional travelers like The Doctor and those who’ve gone on mysterious adventures like Dipper and Mable Pines.
- Anne: I can see why she’s made friends with Miaka Yuuki, Son Goku, and Adora and Catra.
- Sasha: Mr. Toad (he seems fun to be around!)
- Marcy: All deities from Dungeons & Dragons and The Legend of Zelda, my two favorite game franchises EVERRRR!
- Enemies: We HATE The Birds, Legion, Nathaniel Richards, Randall Ross, Bill Cipher, Hexxus, and The Harvesters!
- Sasha: If Yuuki Terumi and Johann Leibert ever lay a finger on Sash, I will… I WILL… >:(
- Fears: Anne’s not to fond of Grunkle Stan. Dunno why, he seems like a nice guy, if kinda mysterious.
- Hey, Jo! Never thought I’d be making a new entry after all this time, but this is a special one! Oh, I brought Anne and Sasha with me, too! Say hi, girls! So, the three of us found the Calamity Box again, used it, and ended up in this “Trope Pantheons” place. It’s so AMAAAAZING! It’s like a nerd’s dream come true! Every famous character from every video game, movie, anime, manga, book, whatever, is he-
- Update: Whoopsie! I couldn’t resist the urge to explore, but once again, I got distracted while writing this entry and Anna Banana and Sash had to stop me before I fell down another flight of stairs. Whew! Thanks again for that! Some things never change lol.
- Oh, how rude! I forgot to introduce us! So, hi Trope Pantheon Gods! My name is Marcy Regina Wu, and these are my best friends, Anne Savsia Boonchuy and Sasha Elizabeth Waybright! We’re from Los Angeles, and one day, my parents told me they were going to move out because Dad got a new job! I ran away in tears and found this music box in a thrift store, which I read somewhere in a book that it can open portals to other worlds! So, I asked Anne to buy it for us (JK, she stole it lmao) and it worked! Worked a little too well, though. We woke up in another dimension called “Amphibia”, a world populated by anthropomorphic frogs, toads, and newts! (Note: DO NOT call the newts “salamanders”; they find that highly offensive!) I thought, wow! We can go on out very own isekai fantasy RPG adventure in real life! But it didn’t go as planned…
- I woke up in Newtopia, a gorgeous city populated by newts. Anne woke up in Wartwood, a small farming village of frogs. And Sasha woke up as a prisoner in Toad Tower! After some fantasy hijinks, we reunited and spoke with King Andrias Leviathan, my (former) best friend from Newtopia, to help us get back home. We took the temple trials, recharged the stones, got into fights, worked out our differences, ALMOST DIED, and in the end… the King lied! Anne was sent back to Earth, I was lethally injured and then possessed, Sasha organized a resistance… it was crazy, Jo! Overall, our conflicts lead the Court of the Gods to ascend us under the title of Goddess of Friends Fighting. We aren’t proud of it, but honestly? We kinda deserve it. At least the Court is considering locking up the music box in their high-security vault. We do NOT need another universal war breaking out!
- THE PLANTARS ARE IN THE PANTHEON TOO! AAAAAAAHHHHHH :D
- Update: Whew, okay, I’ve had a moment to calm down… So, we were delighted to see the Plantars in the Pantheon, and so were they! They were also kinda surprised to see how much we’ve grown since our last adventure together. Hey, fair! It’s been, like 10 years and we all have jobs now! Anne’s a herpetologist and works at an aquarium (she named a pink frog after Sprig - cuuute!), Sasha’s a psychologist, and me? I’m a webcomic cartoonist! Oh yeah, Jo, did I mention that the people of Amphibia didn’t know what movies or comics were until we came along? I feel sorry for how much they’ve been missing out! I showed a few chapters of my comic to the Plantars, and they seem to love it! Didn’t think Hop Pop would love it the most out of them lol.
- After our tearful reunion, we immediately started looking for amphibian Gods to become friends with. We started with Kermit the Frog, and he is so funny!. In fact, Anne can recall meeting an expy of the famous Muppet in Amphibia named “Crumpet”. Kermit was quite interested in meeting him once he found out. Princess Tiana reminded Anne of a friend of hers back home, museum curator Dr. Jan, and said it was because they sounds similar. Tiana is conflicted on Amphibia, as her experience as a frog wasn’t as much a fun adventure. (Yeah, our adventures with frogs weren’t so fun, so I can relate.) Sasha was quite interested in Mr. Toad, though surprisingly, she wasn’t disappointed to learn that this toad wasn’t a brutish warrior. Though, both are quite good at being reckless and aggressive, and she sometimes goes on joyrides with him throughout The River in his stolen car. Oh, and how could I forget Greninja! He’s a freaking NINJA FROG! Sadly, the Ninja Pokémon didn’t want anything to do with my geeking out ugh.
- Anyone who reminds us of The Core is automatically an enemy, no questions asked! Not only did The Core trick King Andrias into starting the whole mess in the first place, and not only did it try to destroy the world by crashing the moon into it, but it possessed me and used my body as a host! We are especially fearful of Majora and the Skull Kid, as they also tried to crash their moon into the world. The Harvesters also became our enemy for being Planet Looters; Andrias’ frobot army came about through mass purging of Amphibia’s resources, turning it into a Polluted Wasteland. At the very least, Andrias learned from his mistakes, and helped to rebuilt the world he destroyed, but I don’t have much hope that the Harvesters will turn over a new leaf!
- Okay, Jo, imma pass you over to Anne so she can talk more about herself. Take it away, Anna Banana!
- Thanks, Mar-Mar! Sup, I’m Anne Boonchuy! I’m the daughter of Thai immigrants; we own a Thai restaurant in town! Before my 13th birthday, I was known for goofing up, causing trouble, and coasting along in school. Then Marcy made me steal and use the music box (and made me miss my birthday party!), and nothing was ever the same. I woke up in a dark forest with nothing but bugs to eat, and I had to rely on my instincts to survive, until I met (okay, accidentally trapped…) this nice pink frog named Sprig Plantar. He took me into the town of Wartwood, and they did not welcome me too warmly! (They thought I was a monster! Ugh!) But, under the care of the Plantars, I learned more about the town, they warmed up to me, I defended them from a toad invasion, and then I saved the world with the last of my strength, dying in the process. Then I woke up and was told by a God who looks like my cat Domino that I was placed into a “backup body” they made. That’s gonna cause some existential problems! You’d expect me to regard this adventure as a massive traumatic experience, but ultimately, I’m happy I went on it. Without Amphibia, I wouldn’t have made an effort to better myself as a person, I wouldn’t have learned to appreciate all my parents have done for me… Change is scary, but it was all worth it to me.
- As we recharged the stones of the music box, I forgot to charge mine all the way. “Whoops!”, you may be thinking, but actually, it benefitted me in the end! When Sprig was put in danger after Andrias’ betrayal, something awoke inside me. Some kind of “blue anime powers”. I felt like I could take on the world! Wherever I looked, I could be there! My strength was too much for the King to handle! It wore off, and I felt awful afterwards, but every so often, those powers would activate when my family was in danger, and not just the Plantars, but my amazing parents. Even on Earth, with no music box in sight! I can’t wait to show my powers to Son Goku; he’d love it!
- Many have asked me, “Oh, Anne, girl! Why did you spend 5 months in Amphibia wearing a ratty school uniform, one shoe, and a dirty sock?” Well, in my defense, I was living in a farming village with frogs who have much smaller shoe sizes than me, and that’s if they even wear shoes to begin with! Where was I supposed to find practical clothes? In hindsight, when Bernardo the armorer gave me the opportunity to get a new look, I guess I could have picked out some new boots…
- Gotta admit, I’m not to fond of Grunkle Stan. Sure, he’s a friendly guy, but he reminds me of another wax museum curator in Amphibia who looks and sounds just like him. This curator, Ponds, tricked me into becoming the star attraction of the museum when I and the Plantars were low on cash, but “star attraction” in this case meant “another display”. The wax museum, as it turned out, didn’t have models, but real creatures frozen in wax! Can you believe that, Jo? How cruel! Stan was rather taken aback when he heard about this, though he showed interest in the concept of alternate-universe counterparts. Stan’s assistant, Soos, was also interested in his counterpart, Frog Soos. (Real original, guys…)
- This girl named Miaka Yuuki was interested in my adventures in Amphibia. And guess what? We’re both underachieving schoolgirls who learned to be selfless heroines on our adventures in new worlds, and our best friends who were also sent to the same other-world became our enemy! It’s like we were made for each other or something! (Still questioning if I’m sapphic or not.) We enjoy sharing our stories with each other, especially of Yui and Sasha.
- Oh, it keep getting better! I found another set of Goddesses who used to be friends before a falling-out, and learned to make up! They’re called Adora and Catra, and Adora even has cool anime powers just like me! Well, she transforms like a Magical Girl and I just go Super-Saiyan, but still! We bonded pretty quickly, but I have to admit, I think she forgave Catra a little too easily. But that’s just me.
- Speaking of which, how about I hand you over to Sasha, Jo? Take it away, Sash!
- Thanks, Anne! Whaddup, I’m Sasha Waybright! Not much of a sophisticated writer, so I’ll keep this brief. So Anne and Marcy woke up and got to go on cool adventures with new friends, and what do I get? Taken prisoner by these fat, ugly toads who feed me crickets, of course! Groooooss! At some point, I wasn’t having it anymore! I told them, hey, if you let me defeat those herons bothering you, then let me out of prison and make me your battle queen! And then I kicked the herons’ butts and they gave me this sick new suit of armor and a sword! We started an attack on Wartwood, but Anne was not having it! I couldn’t believe my best friend was willing to give up our friendship for some gross frogs! Worse still, I tricked Anne into helping me launch a coup in Amphibia, and our friendship was no more. Except, oops! I accidentally saved the world from an evil multi-dimensional tyrant who wanted to destroy our home! For, like, 5 seconds, but still! You’re WELCOME, Anne!
- After that whole… fiasco… I had nowhere to go besides Wartwood. I read Anne’s notebook. I realized she really did trust me. She believed in me, and how did I repay her? With a knife in her back! I called her my best friend, but I never acted like a friend. I started to cry… I never cry! I knew what I had to do then; I had to lead a resistance against the King. I had to unite the frogs, toads, and newts to save Amphibia and Earth! It wasn’t easy, and I was so worried about pushing Anne away again… but it all worked out! We worked as one and we were victorious! I’ve been working hard to better myself ever since, and I’m doing pretty good as a psychologist!
- Before I could ascend, the Court of the Gods made sure I relinquished my sword and hidden daggers. You wouldn’t know, but I hid daggers in my shoulder pads, ponytail, and boot... a little too much in my boot, though, to the point where, upon disarming myself, the Court of the Gods’ first question was, “How did you even walk?” Funny! Grimesy asked the same thing!
- Do NOT remind me of my past control freak tendencies; I am not that person anymore! I became a psychologist in order to teach others not to repeat my mistakes! Especially don’t let Yuuki Terumi and Johann Liebert troll me about it! Things WILL get ugly fast, and you don’t want Anne to unleash her blue anime powers on you!
- Well, so much for keeping it brief. Back to you, Mar-Mar!
- Thanks, Sash! I see we’re color-coding our passages again, so, back to green ink! Anyhoo, what did I do on MY adventure in Amphibia? Weeeeell… fell down a flight of stairs, broke a leg (luckily, the newts have free public healthcare!), defeated a giant crab, became a Night Ranger, made great friends with King Andrias, fought off a creepy cult with my new comrades (Javi, Kettle and Femur, I hope you’re doing well!), became a DM for Creatures and Caverns campaigns, fought off some barbari-ants to save and reunite with Anne and the Plantars, accidentally sank Wartwood (whoops! :P), had a very interesting dinner with the girls and their friends, recharged the stones of the music box, brought it back to Andrias… got betrayed… literally got stabbed in the back… almost died… got possessed and almost assimilated into a Mind Hive called The Core… lost my Anna Banana… had to go to the hospital to recover from all of it… *sniff* So, yeah, pretty fun adventure, Jo!
- How clumsy am I? Oh, Jo, where do I begin??? Back on Earth, I overflowed an ice cream cone, was distracted during a school play, almost hit my face against a locker, only to fall into a garbage can instead, shaved Anne bald while giving her a haircut (“Too short?” I said. Lol.) and walked into a zoo during a snake escape. (Those bites HURT!) To top it all off, I went Beyond the Impossible during the final battle against The Core by tripping in the vacuum of space! How- how does- I can’t even, Jo! Thus, while the other girls are Lesser Goddesses in their depowered states, the Court of the Gods made me a Quasideity for me clumsiness. You know what? Fair.
- So I heard that my two favorite game franchises of all time, Creatures and Caverns and The Ballad of Zorda, are actually called “Dungeons & Dragons” and “The Legend of Zelda”. And OMG, there are deities from these two games in the Pantheon! I asked for the autograph of DnD’s creators, Gary and Dave, but to no avail ugh! But at least the protagonist of Zelda, Link, is here! And Zelda herself! And… Ganondorf… Well, I sure hope no fights break out between those three in the Pantheon, cuz that would be disastrous! Might be fun to watch, though!
- In Amphibia, I rode a giant bird named Joe Sparrow as a steed. Sadly, I couldn’t find him in the Hall of Birds (I accept no substitutes!), but I did find a flock of The Birds, who tried to kill me on sight! Ouch! It brought back bad memories of almost getting eaten by a cardinal while wearing a caterpillar fur coat!
- So, that’s us! Gotta find a way to close this out, sooooo… selfie?
- All three girls: SELFIE!

- Welcome to Amphibia, a world of humanoid frogs, toads, and newts. Within the swamp, you’ll find the humble, yet worn-down frog town of Wartwood, home to this family of farmers struggling to make a living while avoiding any chaos; but in a Death World like Amphibia, there’s plenty of that to go around. Hopediah Plantar and his grandchildren, Sprig and Polly, were just minding their business one day, doing their usual town routine, when Sprig heard of a beast in the forest and went to take it down with his slingshot. He then tripped a trap, and found out this “beast” was actually a human teenage girl, Anne Boonchuy. The actual beast was a giant red mantis. Sprig was the first on Amphibia to befriend Anne after she saved him from the mantis. Working together to take it down, it convinced Hopediah, or “Hop Pop” as his grandchildren call him, that Sprig is responsible, and he also offered Anne to stay in his basement as she looked for a way home. And good thing to, because Anne would later help them take down a tyrannical king who would have destroyed their home, and livelihood, beyond repair.
- It was a quiet day in Wartwood, when all of a sudden, a portal opened up! Thankfully, it wasn’t from the Calamity Box, but it was colored blue, pink, and green; indeed, the Calamity Trio had arrived, and reunited with their old friends. Anne, Sasha, and Marcy told the Plantars everything about the “Trope Pantheons”, and while Sprig and Polly were invested, Hop Pop stood in bewilderment towards the “Gods” and “TV Tropes” nonsense, being a man (er, frog?) who grew up in a world without religion or technology. The girls attempted to coax the frogs into another adventure, but they were understandably hesitant, since they almost died on their last adventure. They ultimately agreed once Polly learned about the Hall of Robots and started geeking out. Thus, the Court of the Gods ascended the Plantars under the title of Divine Family of Frog People.
- The Plantars were delighted to see the Calamity Trio in the Pantheon, especially Anne. She spared no expense introducing the frogs to other amphibian deities, including Kermit the Frog, Tiana and Naveen, Greninja, and Mr. Toad. They were fascinated by how Tiana and Naveen were humans turned into frogs by witchcraft, as in Amphibia, magic exists, and no, not just the power of the Calamity Box. Sprig once had a girlfriend, Maddie, who was a practitioner of curses, but he only agreed to the relationship in exchange for pizza dough. (It’s a long story...) The Princess and the Frog’s transformations, unfortunately, brought back memories of he and Anne transforming into birds through curses, which Maddie had to save them from.
- Despite his fearsome appearance, the Plantars get along well with Swamp Thing, a protector of nature who became a swamp monster. His appearance reminded them of a mythical creature from Amphibia called the Moss Man; Alec’s thoughts on being compared to a grass monster remain contentious. His stark opposite would be Hexxus, who the Plantars hate for his fearsome appearance and being the personification of pollution. Pollution almost destroyed the entirety of Amphibia, and the frog family has promised amongst themselves to stay clear of Hexxus at all costs.
- The Ur-Quan are a race of aliens who were enslaved by frog-like creatures called Dnyarri to oppose all living things, and in retaliation, the Dnyarri were reduced to sub-sentience. Amphibia also had a problem with a creature who sought to enslave them; an infectious fungus known as Apothecary Gary. Being reduced to mere animals also horrified the frog family, being sentient animals themselves. Hop Pop especially hates the Ur-Quan, as he was tricked into spreading the “Gary” fungus in the first place, and it later became a weapon Andrias used in his revolution, enslaving his defectors, as well as the herons who killed Sprig and Polly’s parents.
- The aforementioned herons deserve special mention. None of the Plantars are fans of birds in general, for in a world where all living creatures are insect and amphibian-sized, birds are the only animals in Amphibia that are proportionate to the bugs they eat. They could either be tamed and ridden as a steed (as Marcy has proven), or they can be vicious predators who eat people. The sight of herons in general is a trigger for the Plantars; a reminder of the family they have lost.
- Sprig was known for his recklessness before meeting Anne, and even after. Confusing his irresponsibility for weakness is enough to get a slingshot pellet to the face, though even he can’t match his girlfriend, the adventurous Ivy Sundew. Though she hasn’t ascended, Sprig always has his eye out in anticipation of an AMBUSH! Once he actually got ambushed by the Wallmasters, though, he immediately regretted his wish.
- His irresponsibility never truly went away after ascension. The first thing he tried to do was get a feel for every temple he came across, literally. This frog’s compulsion for touching things is unrivaled. He soon became a friend of resident troublemaker Bart Simpson, who is ecstatic to introduce Sprig to the world of prank calls. Until now, Sprig’s only experience with a phone was Anne’s smartphone, which had no cell service in Amphibia and was only used to binge Anne’s favorite show, Suspicion Island.
- There was one incident on Earth where Sprig, inspired by a superhero film, tried to become a superhero himself in the vein of Spider-Man, dubbed Frog-Man. And just like Spider-Man he became a Hero with Bad Publicity shortly after thanks to the collateral damage inflicted on Los Angeles during a villain chase. He told Peter Parker about Frog-Man’s escapades, and the aforementioned backlash, and the two had a good laugh.
- Frog was originally a human who was cursed to turn into a frog man. While the Plantar’s aren’t Bewitched Amphibians, Sprig could still relate to his plight; he and Anne were cursed to turn into bird-like monsters and had to be saved by Maddie.
- Hop Pop is a follower of tradition, for better or worse. The aforementioned pizza dough incident with Sprig and Maddie? It was planned by Anne to get away from his awful cooking, which he justifies by pointing out his cookbook passed down by the Plantars for generations. For this, he was banned from the House of Food; after all, who’d want to eat bug soup where the bugs are still alive?
- On a less disgusting note, Hop Pop is a fan of theatre, and before becoming a farmer, he wanted to build a career in acting. He is a huge fan of Shakespeare, so much so that he could recite all of Romeo and Juliet on his own! Many deities not part of the House of Theatre find his acting boring, but he writes them off as uncultured.
- When he warped to Earth, he fell in love with khon dancing at the Thai Temple, got a role in a commercial that went viral, and almost became a movie star. He also met an old man named Humphrey who looked suspiciously like him and was also an aspiring actor. Ever since returning to Amphibia, though, it’s unlikely he’ll ever partake in human-style acting again. Besides, without the music box, technology in Amphibia is quite limited.
- Like all frogs in Amphibia, Hop Pop rides a giant insect like a horse; in his case, a large purple snail named Bessie. Strangely, some Gods have recalled him owning a yellow slug that pulled a chariot and was lead by a leaf on a stick. Where the slug went and was replaced by Bessie, nobody knows, and Hop Pop’s memory of said slug is quite foggy, too.
- He’s great friends with Goofy. Voices notwithstanding, they are both old, doting parents who deeply care about their children (or grandchildren, in Hop Pop’s case), even if they don’t completely understand them, or tend to bungle things while trying to be the responsible parental figure. It’s worth mentioning that, during his stay on Earth, Hop Pop and the Plantars were fascinated by a real Earth frog. He’s quite confused why, in Goofy’s universe, there’s both a humanoid and regular dog in the same room, and no one’s questioning it.
- Polly Petunia Plantar. She may be a baby, but she’s also bloodthirsty. With an affinity for lethal weapons and death threats, she’s always itching for trouble, and despite Hop Pop’s belief that she’s more responsible than Sprig, her actions say otherwise. Oh, and ever since the family’s trip to Newtopia, Anne and Sprig, itching for adventure, activated an ancient factory and produced a frog robot that proceeded to follow them for the rest of their journey, even on the way back. Polly took a liking to this robot, named him Frobo, and... remember what Hop Pop said about her responsibility? Let’s just say, Polly initially had trouble keeping her new friend under control...
- Ever since befriending Frobo, Polly’s had a love for all robots, even the ones trying to kill her. She scoured the Pantheon for any robot deities to befriend, and lo and behold, there’s an entire hall for such: the Hall of Robots and Automata. The Court of the Gods has advised caution whenever she enters the Hall, though, for she has a tendency to… destroy things.
- One robot she took great interest in is Jenny Wakeman. Polly asked the teenage robot to show her some of her favorite gadgets to use, and, among others, was a huge fan of the laser gun arms. Jenny saw Polly taking notes, and was curious to know why; the notes were for what upgrades to add to Frobo. When asked, Polly showed her robot off, and Jenny was struck with awe. The teenage robot made sure to inquire Nora Wakeman on a pink and gold color scheme.
@ Soaring Eagle: There's a joke I could make on
@ Nitro Indigo: I mean if you think you'd do a better job go ahead. BTW, if you or anyone else wants to you can PM me if you want to adopt my already approved ideas under RJ-CLOVIS-93, under "in waiting". But I would prefer only if you plan on working on it soon (as in within a month)
So Captain Fishman is a trope. I think that either Arthur Curry or Namor should have their trope changed to it. The trope isn't just "they're an Aquaman expy" but "they're the super that's aquatic and ocean-based". They showed up around the same time and are the very first notable supers of this trope, though Aquaman is more of a straight hero while Namor is more of an anti-hero. If you also think they should get a full rework, go ahead; I'm not familiar enough with either character to give such a profile justice

The Grandmas view INH in a disgruntling manner since they make cookies for them, even if their eldritch forms when initiating the Grandmapocalypse. They also work with kittens as co-workers in-universe, so they'd get along with The Judge. For Eloha, the Ur-Quan Kzer-Za are also planet-conquering aliens with decent intentions when enslaving other aliens, not only ensuring their survival provided obedience, believing that they know best for their subordinates, but also oppose destruction and omnicide as a whole, unlike their Ur-Quan Kohr-Ah brethren, who would be enemies with the Queen in contrast. Lex the Bookworm can also weaponize words with word-tiles.

KILL CONSUME MULTIPLY CONQUERMore suggestions!
- Medley Brook and Crystal, Co-Goddesses of Unconventional Kelpies (Previously got one
)
- These two are equines associated with water, but that's where their similarities to traditional kelpies end. They're both Elemental Shapeshifters who can use magic to change any body of water's state of matter, are striped like zebras, and live in a Culture Chop Suey of Africa.
- Sunny of the SandWings, Goddess of Oblivious Hybrids
- Unlike most SandWings (desert dragons), Sunny doesn't have a venomous tail barb, her scales are golden instead of pale yellow, and her eyes are green instead of black. Everyone assumes she's deformed because she was hatched in a cave instead of beneath the scorching sun, but as the War of SandWing Succession draws to a close, she learns that her father was a member of the elusive NightWing tribe.
- The Pteranodon family, deified Rail Enthusiasts
- At some point in the Late Cretaceous, in what is now the eastern half of North America, a family of five Pteranodons and a Tyrannosaurus live by the coast of the Western Interior Sea. Their favourite hobby is taking the Dinosaur Train to visit times and places all over the Mesozoic (they've also visited the mid-Permian and the Pleistocene once each). They're close friends with its conductor, especially the kids, Tiny, Shiny, and Don Pteranodon and Buddy Tyrannosaurus.
I also remember looking at someone else's Pantheon sandbox, where they suggested a character from Arc the Lad for Hybrid All Along. What do they think?
Are the Dinosaur Train characters actually train fans or do they just like the titular train because it takes them to see different eras? It's not a very convincing proposal (yeah I know they have a song about liking trains but that doesn't necessarily mean anything).
I don't have a problem with the other two.
Edited by wootzits on Feb 20th 2023 at 8:59:26 PM
It was originally someone else's idea, but they do seem to like the train itself. To elaborate, Tiny and Buddy in particular are training to be junior conductors, and they're all ecstatic about staying on the train overnight during their world tour.

Okay. Time for the Arland Quartet again.
Questions for interactions:
- Honoka has an alternate outfit matching Rorona's
- Totori doesn't think alchemy and science have to be in opposition to one another. She also doesn't think alchemy is magic. Who would attempt to contest/support these views?
- Who else suffered amnesia from trauma, and had the memory hidden by family?
- Evil entities that demand human sacrifices (enemies with Totori, given her mother almost lost her life fighting one of these, and having to succeed where she failed)
- (useless father, with sibling serving as parental substitute) (besides Momo Isshiki)
- (Meruru would be enemies with bad royalty, allies with good ones, esp. proactive ones like her)
- At least according to her character page, Lulua heavily resembles Emilia.

- When it comes to the game mechanic of Item Crafting, where you merge certain items and maybe do a little more extra to create a new item, the Atelier series is what popularized it in JRPGs, and its games are built around this mechanic. But because the first series aren't available outside of Japan, and because the Mana-Khemia spinoff duology and Iris trilogy don't have as much focus on the Item Crafting part, the Arland quadrilogy was explored instead, and its main characters were selected to represent the franchise. It also helped that someone wanted to ascend Rorona Frixell to represent Pies at the House of Food, but then it was decided to also ascend select people down the Master-Apprentice Chain. But let's get to who they are first.
- The first is Rorona Frixell, an apprentice alchemist born in the capital of the Arland Kingdom. One day, a knight nicknamed Sterk delivers a message from the government: due to the recent advancements in steam technology, they will no longer support the art of alchemy and have made plans to shut her workshop down. The only way that Rorona can change their mind is by carrying out a series of tasks over the next three years designed to prove that alchemy can still be relevant in modern day life. With her alchemy teacher Astrid being too lazy and apathetic to care, it falls to Rorona to develop her alchemy skills and save her workshop from closure.
- Eight years after Rorona's tale, the second is Totori Helmold, a young adventurer from Alanya Village who is travelling across Arland (which has since become a Republic) on a grand quest to discover what happened to her Missing Mom. Having been taught the art of alchemy by Rorona, Totori slowly develops her skills as an alchemist to aid others and her own journey, with the goal of becoming a famous adventurer firm in her mind. She eventually learns what happened to her mother Gisela; she had gone out at sea to take on the Flauschtraut terrorizing it, but failed to slay it, though she managed to deal enough damage to it for her daughter's party to finish the job years later. However, her ship ended up wrecked and she was left stranded in another continent across the sea and at a snowy village. She then proceeded to have a crack at the Devil King that was causing mass destruction to the north that required sacrifices from the village to be appeased, only to just end up tying twice against it, and passing away from illness/injuries and being buried at her ship at her request. Totori would eventually finish what her mother couldn't and put a stop to the Devil King
.
- Five years after Totori's tale, the third is Meruru Rede Arls, the Rebellious Princess of Arls, a small kingdom located in the northwest of the Arland Republic. Bored with palace life, she impulsively decides to become an alchemist under the tutelage of Totori. This does not sit well with her father Dessier and royal retainer Rufus given tragedy befell Meruru's aunt Sofraneis Yerx Arls as a result of following a path of adventuring (plus alchemy) alongside Dessier and Ludwig Giovanni Arland prior to their reigns as kings, when she tried to develop the wasteland around the volcano Mt. Velus. Specifically, she had to put to sleep a demon in the volcano that would've turned Arls into a wasteland, so they propose a deal: if Meruru can prove that her interest in alchemy is not just a passing fad by improving her skills and using them to develop Arls into a thriving kingdom over three years just as Aunt Sofra had with her adventuring before she died, then she will be permitted to complete her training. And just like Totori before her, Meruru would eventually finish what her parent('s sibling) couldn't and put a stop to the Firedrake Airshatter
. Then, she successfully made Arls a great place before the merger was completed, thus abolishing the royalty. After that, she began to travel the continent at her father's suggestion.
- Sometime after or during this, Meruru and Totori end up traveling back in time to sometime during the last year of Rorona's own adventure to keep her master's workshop afloat
, and the young future alchemist master had to help them return to their own time, which was accomplished successfully.
- Sometime after or during this, Meruru and Totori end up traveling back in time to sometime during the last year of Rorona's own adventure to keep her master's workshop afloat
- And eight years after Meruru's tale, the last in this line is Lulua Frixell, adopted daughter of Rorona, and apprentice of Piana, who was Totori's second apprentice after Meruru, and grew up in a frontier village named Arklys. Though she studies hard to surpass her mother (who actually didn't really teach her alchemy, leaving that to Piana), she doesn't start out particularly talented at the art. And then Lulua finds a strange book which she dubs "Alchemyriddle", which only she can read, and which mysteriously reveals a hint whenever she needs to use alchemy to solve a problem. One day, Lulua receives a letter informing her that her mother's Atelier is about to be shut down due to its license expiring and technically fails to save it, but gets to save it anyway...under her own name instead. In order to save the workshop, Lulua heads towards Arland, which begins a great adventure during which she will learn much about the world and herself. And that includes an actually robot girl named Stia, Fellsgalaxen at risk of collapse and taking Arklys with it, Mana being the same/better kind of robot as Stia, having to choose to sacrifice Stia to save Arklys (and Arland as a whole) or find another way via a Memory Core to temporarily store Stia's memories so they won't be erased, and an alternate timeline and desiring to change the fates of its Lulua and Stia with a Restore Core.
- It is not known how exactly Rorona's line of alchemists made it to the Pantheon, but it came in the form of separate invitations sent to each of them after Lulua saved both Fellsgalaxen (plus Arklys above it) and Stia, and her efforts to make sure that this fate is consistent in all timelines, as well as an accidental misuse of the True Dragon Hourglass. When they were sent to the Court of the Gods, that's when they realized they were now in the ages (and attire) they were when they just finished their own adventures, and none of them have even taken any Potions of Youth. The Court explained the reason for the alchemists' Ascension, and that it came with the ability to swap to any of their previous appearances (except Lulua, who is the last known one in the chain, though the dress of her Parallel Timeline self is available). Speaking of the Potion of Youth, Rorona also now remembers her time as a kid after using that, and how embarrassing some of those are, even if Lulua wants to hear details.
- Applies to all or some of them:
- Their collective temple is named Atelier Arland, since it's the realm all four alchemists resided in, from its status as a kingdom, and to its reformation into a republic. All four alchemists and their Heralds reside and work there, and it takes elements from all the workshops they worked in, but Rorona also has a mobile Atelier that she and Lulua (and Piana) take and travel on. Assisting in item synthesis are the two Homs made by Rorona's master Astrid (one made first to assist Rorona, and the other made much later during Meruru's time), five Chims made by Rorona for Totori, and one of those named Chim Dragon has become something a little more. Totori even uses the Chims for battle by sending one to a foe in a kamikaze run and blow itself up for powerful Fire damage (though the Chims themselves just end up lightly charred yet whole after that). In case anything happens, there's also a repository for making more Chims called a Hom Motel. Unlike Hom, they can only replicate synthesis items and consumables, and require pie as motivation (Chim Dragon still has similar obsessions). While they can certainly be instructed to replicate pies for themselves, it's usually better if their mistress(es) do(es) it instead since their pies usually come out better, and thus further motivate them. However, with certain potions, Totori can "evolve" Chims to be like Chim Dragon.
- There's also a Pie Shop on the side whenever Rorona is in the mood for making pies, though was demanded to have it open at least once or twice a week. That said, she also makes curry, but only for Lulua, who in turn is considering opening a curry shop on the side as well (and may as well just fuse the two into a single store). Totori is also known to be able to make alcoholic drinks (including variants made with fish) via alchemy (having synthesized them among other things since age 14), though usually doesn't drink even after becoming of age. Naturally, Rorona and Lulua are experts in making their favorite foods (though Lulua can do pies too), be it the traditional way or through alchemy. As for Meruru, while she's a big fan of mushrooms, and can synthesize a number of mushroom-related dishes, she's not nearly as obsessed with making them as Rorona and Lulua are.
- Regarding Rorona's mobile Atelier, the reason it has no windows and why doing anything extraneous like item synthesis is ill-advised while it's moving is because of how physics is messed with to make it Bigger on the Inside and because the place tends to bounce a lot while traveling, not to mention the wagon potentially collapsing on itself otherwise. At least with the existence of consoles and smartphones in the Pantheon, there's more to do, such as planning what recipes to synthesize once the mobile Atelier stops, taking inventory, talking with people outside the wagon, etc. They have special Containers across their temples and Rorona's mobile atelier that all connect to the same storage space. That said, they've never checked what would happen if two or more Containers have their contents fiddled with at the same time. Totori also has a "secret bag" that connects her Basket to these Containers as well. Lulua has one such "secret bag" too, but it's limited to just sending her entire Basket inventory to her Container.
- Despite their stories being interlinked, there are memories of Multiple Endings for each of them, though obviously only one of each is canon to make way for the next one.
- For Rorona, after successfully proving the worth of Alchemy to the rest of Arland's higher-ups given Sterk and Gio already think well of her, and inheriting the workshop from Astrid for good, since she decided to leave for another town to rebuild her reputation, she may have taken a few days to bask in her accumulated wealth and lay off after three years of hard work, opened a pie shop and sold the pies she baked and concocted, ditched the workshop to Hom while she goes on monster-hunting adventures with Cordelia, life continues on without Astrid leaving and doomed to be boring, leaves town anyway to learn more alchemy due to her nonexistent reputation with the populace rendering her workshop non-profitable, either with only Hom, or also with Lionela (and becoming a dancer like her), or also with Tantris, or has become a screw-up in alchemy and has become explosion-prone, though her reputation with the populace allows her to stay anyway (and perhaps either becoming Iksel's screwy assistant in his shop, or end up getting Sterk as her minder). However, the ending that would eventually lead to her taking in Totori as an apprentice would be where she becomes highly influential and busy as the town's alchemist, and maybe either gets Cordelia as her manager after spending far too little time with her, ends up becoming the Royal Alchemist thanks to Gio, the King of Arland, or manages to keep up thanks to her friends, and eventually get an alchemist rival in the form of... her own returning master Astrid.
- For Totori, after five years of adventuring and proving she's certified for it, she may have continued being so only for her village of Alanya, adventured together with Gino (but with Sterk and Rorona constantly coaching them from behind), adventured together with Melvia (and occasionally visit the village where Gisela passed away), adventured together with Mimi (and become famous enough for their tales to be written in books), adventured with Marc to determine the secrets of the land's Lost Technology (on a giant robot, no less), became an Alchemy co-teacher with Rorona (though Totori ends up getting more attention with the students and inadvertently upstaging her), went to Arland to work with Rorona… and end up arguing over who gets to take Sterk with them on adventures, went overboard with making Chims (over the maximum 5 she can make in-game) that they eventually replace the adventurer system at Arland, or ended up opening an Alchemy Restaurant under her name with Gerhard, Iksel, Ceci, and Rorona. However, the ending that would eventually lead to her taking in Meruru as an apprentice would be where it turns out Gisela survived after all thanks to help from Astrid, but had to recover for eight years before she was finally able to come home, and then a year later the Arland Republic decided to send Totori to the Arls Kingdom to help develop it with alchemy.
- For Meruru, after five years of developing Arls before their merge with the Arland Republic, and thus ceasing to be a princess, she may have failed to rise in fame and became lethargic for a while before deciding to find a new goal, moved to a new atelier where she's super busy, became overburdened by all the development and synthesis requests that she decided to help Rufus with his job instead, raised Arls to become highly specialized in agriculture to the point of getting a new local delicacy thanks in part to her alchemy, raised Arls to become a tourist getaway thanks to a hot spring Peter found, became so charismatic that her own master Totori and Mimi vie for her attention, became a frontliner in the defense of Arls's borders, even if she's a reckless planner, became a confident, powerful, and successful adventurer with Keina by her side, witnessed Rorona restored… to 14 years of age when she first started her rise in alchemy, or witnessed Astrid reforge the Potion of Youth thanks to Meruru's work to be able to adjust all the alchemists before Meruru to 14 and have a tea party. However, the ending that would eventually lead to Rorona returning to her normal age (and therefore able to adopt Lulua in the future) would be where Astrid challenges Meruru to further perfect the antidote to the Potion of Youth by synthesizing the True Potion of Youth, and Meruru succeeding exceptionally well enough for Astrid to follow through on her promise
◊.
- And for Lulua, even without any sequel to require one to be rendered canon, there are also multiple ways her story reaches its conclusion in the eyes of the player. She may have failed to find a way to save Stia, and sent her Alchemyriddle back in time to another Lulua in the past just like the Lulua before her, settled down in Arklys to run her own atelier with Stia by her side, supported Eva with running the orphanage they both lived in while still running her atelier, traveled with Aurel as they honed their prowess in battle together, even if they quibble as he teaches her swordplay, traveled together with Piana in their wagon Atelier, teaching alchemy wherever they went, traveled together with Ficus as street performers and seeking to aid young minds with potential for growth, joined Niko's exploratory fleet in his mission to discover new trading routes to the Eastern Continent, bid farewell to Rorona and Sterk as they departed from Arland to explore the Eastern Continent (which may have happened anyway no matter what), or opened her own curry shop with the help of Stia, Chim Dragon, and Piana, even as her non-curry alchemy requests declined. However, what is considered the Golden Ending is where her skills started to rival her mother's, and she decided to depart from Arklys with Stia to further her craft even more.
- As alchemists who partake in combat sometimes, item use is their main method of doing that, besides their staffs, which double as stirring implements for their Alchemy work. They
are
as fo
llows
, which include bombs, Beast Statues, cannons that shoot balls of magical power, and other healing items. There's even a Tera Bomb that can risk one-shotting everybody on foot without the proper attributes like "Narrow Range +3". More of their
attack items can
be seen in the
following links
.
- Out of the four, Meruru is most competent in terms of physical attack via staff. Naturally, she's still more suited as an item caddy in a party without plenty of fellow Arland alchemists. That said, by the time of Lulua's adventure, Meruru has switched to using a sword (and Totori switched to an Alchemy-made book that can summon whatever she needs to synthesize something). Lulua herself also has a pickaxe crafted with alchemy, though only for busting stone and mineral obstacles. And given all the things they cart around and the explosives they throw, all four alchemists are deceptively strong, with Lulua even able to beat a seasoned veteran knight (who's survived hits from dragons and is himself a legend above Rorona's level) in an arm-wrestling match (though he was holding back the first time, and can possibly trounce her in subsequent matches). Lulua even tanked a cannon shot ''point blank'' with barely a scratch
while she was trying to convince her friend to have some extra-special Philosopher's Curry.

Lulua even tanked a cannon shot ''point blank'' with barely a scratch
- Despite looking like a simple task of mixing stuff in a cauldron, there is more to "Arland Alchemy" than that, thus why it's actually quite difficult to teach. And there are implications that this method of Alchemy might actually be some sort of alien technology. Rorona is considering once more the prospect of teaching her method of alchemy, with the young earth pony Apple Bloom as her first student in the Pantheon. Totori already took steps to establishing an Alchemy Classroom just like before during Lulua's time at the old Atelier Rorona, though it's not known if she already got Rorona's permission to do it back then, or if she would've gotten approval anyway as Totori's just about the last person on the planet Rorona would ever say "No" to. Between the four, only the first two have actual experiences with apprentices, and Totori's the much better one between them (apparently, it makes much more sense to those with natural intuition for alchemy, which is how Totori learned anything at all to teach others later, while Rorona struggles to even teach Lulua how to synthesize Pie as opposed to baking it). Meruru isn't suited to teaching, hence why the Master-Apprentice Chain didn't continue with her, but she's getting better thanks to Lulua and has taken her in as her junior. And Lulua herself is looking to be a prospective teacher as well.
- Compared to the others, Totori is more involved as an adventurer and has started going out more often with their like than the others, such as the Etrian Odyssey Guilds, Keyblade wielders, Steve and Alex (who do their own crafting as well), or Tadano Hitonari. And ever since her father suggested it after abdicating the throne, Meruru has also become more involved in traveling, and even had a brief stint in vigilante work as Masked M (before having to stop after it turns out most people are too smart (or too dumb) to fall for her Paper-Thin Disguise). And this means taking requests in the Pantheonic Soldiers of Fortune (and her fellow alchemists do the same).
- Once their temple and mobile atelier were properly set up, Atelier Arland was open for business, and each of the alchemists have gone out to various shops in the Pantheon that sell sundries, food, or (pre-modern, gun, and cannon) weapons for purchases, "Wholesaling", and selling of supplies to them just like before, at least in Rorona's case. And there is a much wider variety of materials in the Pantheon as well, such as Plorts (getting them a business partner in Beatrix LeBeau, though she won't tolerate her slimes being attacked unless they're fighting Tarr), shards of Kryptonite, Kyber crystals, Redstone, all sorts of Fantastic Flora, and other minerals and liquids. Additionally, everything in the Dominions Expansion has shown plenty of new resources to try out, though some areas were off-limits, and others way too dangerous even for the likes of the alchemists.
- By the way, ship parts can also be synthesized, but it has to be in parts since there's only so much room in a cauldron. Totori and Lulua are most experienced with this, having done this before on behalf of a shipwright father and a "pirate" friend respectively. For some reason, the alchemists all have a strange fascination with barrels, even if they use them in battle sometimes. At least to Lulua, saying the word out loud brings a strange ineffable sense of joy. There is "fun" opposition from Pew Die Pie as a result, who hates barrels with a passion.
- As alchemists, they drew interest from others of similar professions such as the Elric Brothers, their allies, and Anataeus Vaya, as well as potion makers like Severus Snape and Horace Slughorn. And now they have to get used to having genuine enemies as well, who would want nothing more than to exploit them for weapons, mainly explosives, and especially the N/A bombs
. As such, they also have troubled relations with Plague Knight and Mona, but less so for Lulua, who finds their explosives fascinating, just excessive when they use them for absolutely every problem.
- And then there's the Potion of Youth Rorona once made with Astrid during Meruru's apprenticeship under Totori, and Meruru's further improvement on it to successfully bring her back to normal from being a kid. Something like that would also draw its fair share of nefarious folks, such as Mother Gothel, who would want such potions for their own vain uses. Sure, everyone's functionally immortal in the Pantheon, but getting a younger body is still too tempting to pass up, and with Rapunzel kept out of her reach, she has to find alternatives.
- Rorona has also gotten her Ruby Pies stolen by Father's minions due to rumors of hearing that a Philosopher's stone is an ingredient in it. She insists she just uses Ruby Prisms
, only to then get questions as to why she even uses magical stones as ingredients in the first place. Lulua has also made a similar pie at least once, following her mother's recipe, and made a version for curry too, though that's less likely to get stolen (buying it is enough), but not many desire to even consider eating it
except those who can eat minerals such as the dragonling Spike. Rorona has also vowed to never again make living food, not after the Living Pie, and makes sure that everyone else down her line vows the same. Flint Lockwood knows what that's like.
- When it comes to ghosts, Rorona fears them, but can get over friendly ones as long as they don't do too much scaring. Totori shares most of these sentiments, especially after a miscommunication that almost made her assume that someone (Pamela) was perfectly willing to sacrifice her own life, which was only okay because she was already dead to begin with (being a ghost inhabiting a "body suit" specially made for her). Meruru doesn't express as much fear of them as her alchemy master. As for Lulua, she's completely immune to their scares, given the orphanage she lived in before has been set up as a haunted house so many times, and upon being revealed that Pamela was actually a ghost, her reaction was basically "already seen more fantastical things than ghosts".
- Cats and other naughty or shedding-prone animals are not allowed inside the ateliers due to the risk of stray fur interfering with the ingredients or the cauldron, not to mention being hard to sweep up, and because the Homs tend to be strongly attached to cats. The Alchemists are also fearful of people who act very different while drunk, since each of them have been... playfully fondled by those they've discovered with that trait. Really, anyone who gets promiscuous while drunk is a no-no to ever be with. Lulua is most fearful of drunkards since Piana told her of HER experience with two drunk women, and ever since Piana's lightweight drunken spree from liqueur chocolates, she also vowed to abstain from ever imbibing alcohol.
- Their collective temple is named Atelier Arland, since it's the realm all four alchemists resided in, from its status as a kingdom, and to its reformation into a republic. All four alchemists and their Heralds reside and work there, and it takes elements from all the workshops they worked in, but Rorona also has a mobile Atelier that she and Lulua (and Piana) take and travel on. Assisting in item synthesis are the two Homs made by Rorona's master Astrid (one made first to assist Rorona, and the other made much later during Meruru's time), five Chims made by Rorona for Totori, and one of those named Chim Dragon has become something a little more. Totori even uses the Chims for battle by sending one to a foe in a kamikaze run and blow itself up for powerful Fire damage (though the Chims themselves just end up lightly charred yet whole after that). In case anything happens, there's also a repository for making more Chims called a Hom Motel. Unlike Hom, they can only replicate synthesis items and consumables, and require pie as motivation (Chim Dragon still has similar obsessions). While they can certainly be instructed to replicate pies for themselves, it's usually better if their mistress(es) do(es) it instead since their pies usually come out better, and thus further motivate them. However, with certain potions, Totori can "evolve" Chims to be like Chim Dragon.
- Exclusive to Rorona:
- Rorona was horrified with what the Alchemists Guild that Miriam and Gebel used to belong to did in order to remain relevant compared to what she had to do. Rorona just had to prove the worth of her work to Arland's higher-ups with its king Gio already in full support, while that Guild decided to summon demons to frighten people away from the Industrial Revolution. Frankly, that was far, far stupider than anything she did in her youth, and not only did they hurt—no, kill—a lot more innocent people, their plan failed anyway. As for her opinions on the Shardbinders themselves, she sees no problem with either of them. Gebel's actions do unsettle her, but she trusts Miriam.
- Rorona's parents, while supportive of her career choice (even gifting her rare materials for her craft), are rather inattentive, even taking multiple vacations during her rise as an alchemist). Sure, she does have a legal guardian in her own master Astrid, but unfortunately she tends to be rather lazy partly out of frustration with how Arland treated her own master when she failed to industrializing the kingdom like her predecessors have and leaves most of the work to her apprentice. That said, it's not known how long they've been like this, or if they only started leaving at the start of Rorona's tale, and whether they were putting their faith on Astrid, and several other factors. But at least Rorona has both of her biological parents who think of her (Totori's father was mainly useless and her sister Ceci was the one who mostly raised her, and their mother was missing for years and presumed dead before coming back thanks to Astrid, Meruru's father was disapproving of her line of work unless it could be used to develop Arls before it's annexed to Arland, and there's no word on her mother, while Lulua doesn't even know her birth parents).
- In case it wasn't obvious, Rorona really loves pies, whether it's baking them or synthesizing them (after Astrid prohibited her from using the former method to further hone her skills). As such, she's drawn attention from other deities known for their pies, such as Toriel for her butterscotch-cinnamon pies (and sometimes snail pies), and Amelia Bedelia for her lemon meringue pie (when she screws up her directions). Crystal Gem Pearl is also interested in the pie-making process, though not so much the eating part (with the sole exception of Toriel's pie).
- Blackbeard of the One Piece world once checked out Rorona's Pie Shop when it was open, but to his disappointment, no cherry pies were on the menu. While under the pretense of being an ordinary if intimidating customer, he planted in her the idea of adding cherry pies there. One week later, she has started selling cherry pies, and Blackbeard became a very persistent customer, draining her supply of that in moments and waiting when he realized that she synthesizes them with Alchemy. He's even started contemplating abducting the alchemist to make more Cherry Pies for her, but leery eyes from her daughter Lulua, as well as the realization that she could just as easily synthesize something that could mess up his crew, not to mention probably losing a source of cherry pies, he decided not to enact that plan.
- Despite everything, Rorona's nickname of Cabbage Girl from a contest long ago managed to spread, much to her embarrassment. This netted her a business deal and friendship with the Cabbage Merchant, however, as soon as he made sure there were no cabbage slugs in his wares. She even Wholesales Cabbage Pies
for him to sell, though she advises that they need mayonnaise or other sauce to be extra delicious.
- Having made friends with a puppeteer named Lionela, she has no issues interacting with others of her like, and is in amicable terms with Alice Margatroid when the puppeteer visited for a synthesis request one day. Rorona also tends to give nicknames to people she wants to befriend, and one of them was a wise old bearded man she decided to nickname Al as they talked about Alchemy and how it's different across worlds. It then came to a bit of a shock to the friendly denizens of the Wizarding World that Rorona was in really casual terms with Albus Dumbledore.
- Was once able to "sleep" while flowing down a river all the way from one end of a country to another, as Totori can attest to when her father fished up her teacher by accident. That's like sailing down the River Nile from Victoria Falls to the Nile Delta. People are amazed she didn't drown at any point and was still coherent enough to continue teaching Totori some more after that.
- Exclusive to Totori:
- Totori doesn't think alchemy and science have to be in opposition to one another. She also doesn't think alchemy is magic. Unique to her, Totori has the ability to Duplicate an item without reducing its use count at the cost of mana and some of the item's potency when used. Lulua wanted to learn it, but all she learned was super-fast Synthesis and it took a heavy toll on her stamina that Totori decided to just give up on the endeavor after Lulua passed out as a result. Sometime during her apprenticeship under Rorona, Totori has somehow learned to exude such an intimidating presence that a person's vocabulary skills just plummet when she's around, and she's only gotten more formidable since then.
- Exclusive to Meruru:
- For the record, her nickname is pronounced "May-roo-roo", not "Mer-roo-roo". As a proactive princess who acts on behalf of her kingdom, (enemies with bad royalty, allies with good ones, esp. proactive ones like her)
- In contrast to Rorona only taking pity in them, Meruru loves mushrooms in her meals, be it when eating them or synthesizing them. She's become very knowledgeable on them, though did have to learn about the kinds in the Pantheon, but she was a dedicated study. She occasionally hosts mushroom shows, not just to profess her love for them, but also warn of the poisonous kinds. And, of course, she won't take kindly to her mushrooms getting stolen.
- As it's in the name, Meruru made contact with the denizens of the Mushroom Kingdom and (after promising not to harm the Toads) marveled at the mushrooms they did have, and wonders if she can improve on the ones the Mario Bros. use with Alchemy. The Toads weren't the only sentient mushrooms she had to come to terms with existing; Parasect, Breloom, Amoonguss and Shiinotic soon entered that list, and her encounters with the latter two were less pleasant than the former two due to their general trickery. Of course, her association with the Mario Bros has made her a target of Bowser for attacks or even abduction, even if she's not a princess anymore.
- Just how great is her love of mushrooms? She once wanted to make a giant walking (or even just stationary) mushroom that can scatter its spores all over to spawn more mushrooms (despite the whole thing with the Ent back in her apprentice days that she wanted to stop due to its presence putting her people on edge every time it gets close), but Lulua thankfully violently talked her out of that idea. And then scathing words from Joel and Ellie, whose world was essentially ravaged by mushroom infections on humans, terrified the former princess out of ever considering that notion. Speaking of that Ent, she was on edge again when she heard there were a few in the Pantheon already, but after sighting Treebeard and Rooftrellen, she just sighed in relief as the Ent she tangled with was much, much bigger than even them. And then she started to worry what they—especially Treebeard, after hearing of his kind's retaliation on Isengard—might think of what she did to the one in Arls, and keeps away. She also has a hard time trusting Lizard Folk, since her kingdom had been threatened by them, and has taken out her fair share of them during her time as an alchemist apprentice.
- As someone who wanted to rebel from her old established lifestyle, only to then accept her role after some self-reflection (plus realizing what she wanted to learn—Alchemy—can help with that role), with the exception of that last bit, part of Meruru's character arc is just like Yukiko Amagi in that regard. One can also consider Bridget to be the same, though in terms of gender identity, which is kind of a new concept to think of. Meruru recognizes the value of defensive structures such as outposts, and that it's okay for them to be more better-designed than one's own castle. After all, they're the first line that invaders have to tend to first, and it's meant to keep the citizens safe, and doesn't understand the vain types who prioritize their own "houses" over their "walls".
- Exclusive to Lulua:
- When she was asked questions of Rorona's teenage pregnancy, Lulua reminds that she was adopted, 2 years before she acquired the Alchemyriddle. Rorona's reason for adopting Lulua is because when the alchemist visited Arklys, Lulua was so kind to her and talked about all sorts of things, and she thought they would have all sorts of fun if they were together, nothing ulterior or grand. On a different note, her birthday is on what is Valentines Day on Earth, although it's not known if her world has that holiday. And ever since Lulua turned in a few almost used-up items while fulfilling a request, having done the same back in her world, all requests sent to the Pantheonic Soldiers of Fortune since then now have to specify "unused", "fresh", or similar terms to prevent the same stunt being pulled ever again. Lulua herself was also reprimanded for that stunt and she has profusely apologized for it.
- Once attempted to speak to a particular Slime in "Puni" language, just like she had before. This Slime, Rimuru Tempest, quickly revealed that she can speak to her just fine, much to her embarrassment. Lulua tried the same with the ones in the Far Far Range, but has found them to be rather simple-minded (even if a few of them are able to set up an "online account" to buy chickens to eat). Having had to deal with a workaholic Father Benon before at the orphanage she grew up in, Lulua prescribes to the incapacitating method to deal with such people. If she can't do that, she resorts to stern reminders of sleep and healthy eating.
- Due to having been told what they are by her pirate friend Nicodemus "Nico" David Dieter, Lulua believes true pirates are all about escorting ships, fishing, and keeping the waters clean, and thinks those that plunder or hunt for treasure are impostors sullying their good name. As such, she gets along with the likes of the Straw Hat Pirates and the Turners, really has problems with Captain Jack Sparrow after he tried to pilfer a few things from her, is naturally enemies with mailicious pirates like Black Manta and Long John Silver (even his nicer cyborg iteration), and has clashed with Peter Pan whenever he messes with pirates she trusts.
- Among the things Lulua can concoct, she can make Eraezyko Charms (shaped like ofudas) for banishing ghosts from an area if magical attacks aren't permanently cutting it. That said, if she has to banish one, she wants to know their story before going in blind; if a peaceful method is preferable, she'll take that option. She can also make medicines that can curb Big Eater tendencies, return them if they were curbed by the former, and a "super-special" Tonic that increases the Quality of items in an area that she can gather for a limited time.
- Will not stand for buying items just to destroy them to deny its use by anyone else, just as Mimi has with Pure Truffles (Meruru once made a dish with that ingredient that causes the eater to abandon all pretense and deception and be perfectly honest about their feelings, and had no effect on her since she's already honest with herself. When the tsundere Mimi had that dish, she started to get very emotional and longing for more intimate moments with Totori, including sleeping in the same bed as her and bathing with her. After Mimi discovered what she had been saying, she went absolutely to pieces about it, and made Meruru swear she'd never cook with Pure Truffles again or reveal what she said.)
- Despite coming from a time period bereft of much futuristic technology (although a few do inexplicably exist), Lulua doesn't really express shock or any strong reactions over any sort of Robotic Reveal, not even her first time when Stia revealed her status. As such, she's confused with anybody who invoke Just a Machine for any reason, and opposes those with prejudice against robots who use that reason against them.
- With Café Leblanc no longer present, Lulua being a provider of curry has drawn much of those customers to her, like Rock Lee, Arle Nadja, Usalia, Daita Oiwa, Asbel Lhant, Presea Combatir, Yotsuba Koiwai, Minako Aino, Lan Hikari, Reaper's Game participant Beat, and the Kosugis (Lemeza in particular), and she quickly became friends with all of them. Ren Amamiya and Futaba Sakura have also checked out the place, and while they can tell that Lulua's recipes are incredible (albeit with some oddities), Ren resolutely claims that none of them can compare to Sojiro's recipe, and no, he will not share it. However, Lulua did eventually learn about the Metaverse, and now she's intrigued with what sorts of materials can be found there. Too bad they're very (justifiably) cagey with letting just about anyone in, so she will have to settle with secondhand acquisition by buying their acquired materials and seeing what can be made from them.
- Being helped by one's past self via Alechemyriddle is pushing it, but actively aspiring to change the fates of Stias from multiple alternate timelines just about crossed the line in the eyes of the Dahaka, even if she didn't alter anyone's pasts, just "fixed" what's already happened there in the present. However, Barbatos sees her pursuit as full counter to his Dark Multiverse, and her use of The Time Brooch meant plenty of the Arland timelines are now consistent in one particular event, even if things can still end badly further down the line. And with the True Dragon Hourglass to traverse alternate timelines and the Time Brooch to "lock in" those results entering the rumor mill, Lulua has found herself been targeted by many nefarious folks who wish to alter their pasts (not knowing it won't change their present, but some might think helping their past selves win in at least one timeline or as many as possible is enough for them), and the Pantheonic Time Police have stepped in to make sure that Lulua completely and undeniably understands the gravity of her situation. Thankfully for the PTP, Lulua does understand, at least enough that she doesn't go visiting the alternate world's residents further than Alt Lulua's atelier and the other Fellsgalaxen. And technically speaking, she just undid the fate of Alternate Stia that was already done, rather than averting her own timeline's Stia's fate. Besides, from what Rorona relayed to her, even if one changes the past, it won't change their present, only create another branch of reality
◊. Just like in the events of Avengers: Endgame, turns out.

- Far away from Equestria is Farasi, a Culture Chop Suey of Africa inhabited by zebras, kelpies, and abada. Medley Brook and Crystal are two such kelpies. They have the power to change water's state of matter, and this extends to their bodies, which are fluid. Medley Brook is usually in a liquid form, while Crystal is usually solid. When they were foals, they were friends with two zebras named Marini and Zecora, and two abada named Cactus Rose and Dust Devil. Zecora became distant from them all as she researched magic, until eventually she jumped on a ship to Equestria and never looked back.
- ...That was, until shortly after Twilight Sparkle was crowned the ruler of all Equestria. She wanted to expand Equestria's knowledge of the world, so she tasked her friends with exploring other nations. Applejack reluctantly dragged Zecora back to Farasi, where she reunited with her old friends. Together, they ventured into the desert to fight the destructive Grootslang, and discovered Farasi's long-forgotten Tree of Harmony. Each of the Farasians gained an element; Medley Brook's was laughter, because she entertained the others with a song, and Crystal's was Loyalty, because she dehydrated herself to save Dust Devil from falling.
- After the international Elements of Harmony saved the world from the Knights of Order, Applejack approached the Court of the Gods and vouched for Medley Brook and Crystal to be ascended to the co-goddesses of kelpies. The Court were impressed, but asked Applejack to bring them here so they could meet them for themselves.
- Medley Brook was ecstatic to learn that there were different kinds of kelpies elsewhere in the multiverse, and set out to find them. One misadventure later, she met Keldeo of the Swords of Justice and immediately bombarded him with questions... until the others showed up. Medley, intimidated by their horn-swords, left. Later, the Swords of Justice met Crystal, and ended up getting along with her better because she's calmer.
- The Elric brothers find these two unsettling because they remind them of their undead mother from another universe, who could melt her body into water.

You only need one
for a proposal to make a profile. Just a matter of not getting any dissenting opinions, which Medley and Crystal avoided, so you're good.
- Scrooge McDuck, Flintheart Glomgold, and Huey, Dewey, and Louie had encountered a duo of kelpies, Briar and Bramble, in a mystical golf course, who resembled the ponies of Friendship is Magic and even sounded like Twilight Sparkle, Pinkie Pie, and Fluttershy. Sadly, the ducks would be wary at best with Medley and Crystal since Briar and Bramble were Affably Evil individuals who tried numerous times to trick the ducks into water so they could drown them.
- As it happens, Kratos' latest adventure had him and Freya encounter a kelpie and ride it to meet with the Norns. Didn't seem to leave much of an impression on either one, though, but Kratos did want to show Atreus the kelpie and was disappointed when he was unable to. So Kratos would be happy with Medley and Crystal for providing that oppurtunity, even if they're much different from that kelpie.
Okay, so I got 2

- Karin Only:
- The only daughter of Daigenjyuro and Nadeshiko Kanzuki and rival to Sakura Kasugano, Karin Kanzuki is the head of the Kanzuki Zaibatsu. So how did Karin Kanzuki earn a spot in the Pantheon? Easy. She... donated an obscene amount of cash to the Pantheon in order to secure her ascension. Chump change for her, but she can afford it. Her temple is the massive Kanzuki Estate, as seen during Operation C.H.A.I.N.S.. Of course, Sakura Kasugano was not surprised as to how Karin had gained her ascension. "It's Karin, after all." She said of her friendly rival. "She wouldn't had done it any other way." Unlike Sakura, Karin already safeguarded her schoolgirl uniform after her graduation. Though time will tell if she will put the uniform again, albeit optionally. Speaking of Sakura, their rivalry began when Karin transferred from her school to Tamagawa-Minami, to "observe the commoners," as she puts it. The rest, is history. Karin is also Rainbow Mika's sponsor, and the mastermind behind Mika's original ascension. However, Karin was appalled when she found out that Mika lost her former position. Not wanting to lose her investment, she made a second donation to the Pantheon, which smoothed the way for Mika to share Karin's current post.
- Both Karin and Mika participated in Frank West's PERFECT EROTICA photo contest. Karin agreed to the photoshoot, and Mika convinced her tag-team partner, Yamato Nadeshiko to join in. Jiraiya, however, did not get their permission to photograph them, which resulted in the perverted hermit being on the receiving end of a well-deserved beat down by the two gods; Karin first nailing the Toad Sage with the Kanzuki-Ryu Hadorokushiki: Hasha no Kata (Kanzuki-Style Stream of the Supreme Road Formula Six: Champion's Form), propelling Jiraiya into Mika and Nadeshiko, who finished him off with the Peach Assault. Despite the broken ribs, the fractured neck, the concussion, the ruptured groin, and the cracked skull, Jiraiya was heard saying that "it was totally worth it." Aside from sponsoring Mika, Karin also has the teenage kunoichi, Ibuki on her payroll. This, of course, has led to Mika and Ibuki butting heads on occasion. Before things could get out of hand, Karin usually finds herself intervening before the two could tear up her temple.
Karin: If the two of you are not satisfied fighting each other, then I can join in to give the satisfaction you deserve.Ibuki: (apologetically as she backs down) Uh, well, no, thank you!Mika: (in the same tone) I'll pass! I... I'm very satisfied!- Karin has drawn the attention of the Mishima Clan, but for very different reasons. Both Heihachi Mishima and his son, Kazuya, are scheming from the shadows, planning on usurping control of the Kanzuki Zaibatsu from Karin, hoping to absorb it into either the Mishima Zaibatsu or G Corporation, be it though underhanded business deals, or strong-arming her either by combat or dispatching the Tekken Force to seize the Kanzuki Zaibatsu's interests. "Two zaibatsus is one too many," Heihachi reasoned "There is only one zaibatsu, and the one that only matters." The only thing stopping father and son from pulling off a hostile takeover is that they're still fighting each other. That, and Karin's ties to the Street Fighters, made Heihachi anf Kazuya pause, not to mention that Karin has the Kanzuki Family Ninja Army on speed-dial. On the opposite end, Karin has drawn the attention of the estranged wife of Heihachi Mishima, Kazumi. The Hachijō Clan has detailed notes on the Kanzuki family and the business dealings of the Kanzuki Zaibatsu, just in case they decide to become a threat to the world. So far, while Karin's antics are based around one-upping Sakura, and fighting off Shadaloo's attempts to usurp Karin of her birthright, Kazumi sees that Karin's intentions are pretty benign. As for Jin Kazama, Karin isn't on his radar. For the moment, at least.
- It's not exactly known what the Kanzuki Zaibatsu does, but it's for certain that Karin is one of the more wealthier deities in the Pantheon. It is known that Karin has a Kill Sat known as Red Spider Lily (as Bison found out the hard way) and a her own little hideaway on the Moon
◊. Ironically enough, she had seized control of the Zaibatsu from her father in a hostile takeover. The deified businessmen (and women) from both sides have also been monitoring Karin and the Kanzuki Zaibatsu. Both Tony Stark and Bruce Wayne are quite interested in what kind of tech the Kanzuki Zaibatsu has behind its closed doors. But given that Karin has a ninja clan on speed-dial, the two men decide not to partake in corporate espionage. Due to her immense wealth, she finds herself at odds with Lili Rochefort, who also comes from a affluent background. But what really annoys Lili is that Karin is richer than her family. Seto Kaiba also shares Lili's views, as he believes that the Kanzuki Zaibatsu is no way more financially wealthier than KaibaCorp. Sadly, that didn't stop HYDRA from attacking the Kanzuki Estate around the same time Tony Stark was visiting. Fortunately, HYDRA's forces were sledgehammered back by both the Avengers and Karin's ninja forces.
- Ranma Saotome got on her bad side when the divine aquatransexual said that Karin laughed a lot like Kodachi Kuno. After the inevitable fight, Ranma now dislikes the laugh even more after being caught on the business end of the Hasha no Kata (and the laugh that follows). Her laugh gained a lot more popularity (or is that infamy?) after her return to form, especially during tournament play. Any time she breaks out into that laugh, expect her followers to follow alongside her.
- In order to secure her position as the Kanzuki Heiress, Karin had to undergo three main challenges put forth by her parents: Fifty lines of bulls (one must stop 50 stampeding bulls; Karin stopped all 50 bulls, topping her father's record of 49), the Kanzuki style social art mystery Sagesumi no Me (in which Karin went out of the atmosphere to look down on the earth in order to master the social art mystery), and finally, the Final Training The Ultimate Mystery of the Kanzuki Family "Soul Kiss" (in which Karin has to woo at least 5,000 men; her mother holds the record at 50,046 men, her father included). Karin was able to succeed at these flawlessly, and was able to secure her position as heiress. Even Ken Masters says that those challenges were nuts. Ryu also voiced his opinion that the Kanzuki challenges were worse than what Gouken could come up with during his and Ken's days of training under him. There are other challenges that a Kanzuki can undergo, but one that stands out is the Kanzuki style, ground fighting (Shingi) Slight sleep Mugi Reno Genshi, a skill that can be learned as a result of thoroughly investigating, analyzing, and predicting all actions and attacks of the opponent, practicing to the level of "dodging even if asleep". It’s the ultimate sleeping method to ensure ones safety. For the deified members of Batfamily, the al-Ghuls, and Black Canary, it sounds eerily familiar, as this is how Lady Shiva fights.
- "I'll show you the divide in our class."
- Mika Only:
- Ever since she was a child, Mika Nanakawa always wanted to be a pro wrestler. Trained by the domineering, golf-cart riding, shinai-wielding, retired pro wrestler and Hall of Famer Yoko Harmageddon
◊ (who also serves as one of Mika's Heralds), Mika's goal is to be known as the "Star of the Ring." With Karin Kanzuki as a sponsor and co-goddess and the desire to test her skills, she made her debut in the third Alpha tournament and returned to the street fighting scene during Operation C.H.A.I.N.S., where she and Zangief teamed up with Karin's band of fighters to stop Bison and Shadaloo once and for all... when Mika is not butting heads with Ibuki, that is. Aside from Karin, Mika got several positive endorsements from fellow wrestlers such as Hakan, Mike Haggar, Edmond Honda, and Zangief. Her ascension came just in time for her return to the Street Fighter scene. For Mika, being ascended was something not even she saw coming. The welcome party soon degenerated into a brawl over which style of wrestling was better. It ended in a draw, the banquet hall trashed.
- As the Celestial Representative Of Iwashigahama Japan Women's Pro-Wrestling, Mika is keeping an eye out for fresh talent. Julia Chang is one such prospect. While not a professional wrestler by trade, she showed promise by stepping in for an injured friend during the Tag Tournaments. Mika extended the invite to Julia, saying that if her live streaming falls through, then she could sign up as a wrestler. Julia is considering the offer. While Mika does compete in the Pantheon's wrestling circuit, she is strictly representing Japanese wrestling in the Pantheon. That and she does not want to get on Yoko's bad side. Again. Despite her back problems, Yoko is still scary. In an interesting sidenote it turns out, Mika is not a huge fan of Heihachi Mishima either. As It turns out, his pet bear had stolen her first wrestling costume and destroyed it when he put it on. Worse still, Heihachi refuses to reimburse Mika for the ruined costume.
- At Zangief's behest, Mika has been spending time with the Pantheon's wrestlers in order to better her technique. One wrestler Mika likes to grapple with is Tina Armstrong. A frequent visitor to Mika's temple, one can expect Mika and Tina to put on a clinic whenever the two step into the squared circle. "Shame she's with DOATEC," Yoko Harmageddon was heard daying about Tina. "She would've been a hit had she signed on with us." Mika was also seen around Mike Haggar and King Jr. The former mayor of Metro City teaches her the more technical aspects of wrestling (as well as effectively using pipes and folding chairs as weapons), while Mika took notes from the jaguar-masked grappler on the more acrobatic elements of Lucha Libre, as the high-flying wrestling style shares smiliarities with the Japanese puroresu style of wrestling. And, yes, Mika learned the Rolling Death Cradle from the deified luchador. Dan Hibiki would discover this, much to his detriment.
Dan: (after Mika planted him with the RDC) Owie... I hurt...- Vince McMahon is watching Mika's progress with interest, the deified wrestling giant looking to sign Mika over to his company. While flattered, Mika shot Vince down, due to her being her wrestling company's celestial representative. Vinny Mac did tell her that if she changed her mind, then the offer was still open. But that didnt stop Mika from hanging around both Steve Austin and The Rock in the wrestling gym, learning how to brawl and improving her skills on the mic from both men. With Austin's blessings, Mika has adapted the Stone Cold Stunner to her movelist, albeit as a counter. That, and to be honest, she liked seeing The Rock overselling getting hit with the Stunner. It's also because of Mika's friendship with the Brahma Bull that makes Roman Reigns and the Usos pause. Reigns may be the Tribal Chief and Head of the Table, but not even he would go against his elder cousin. Any grievances he has with Mika can be settled in the ring. There are rumors that Mika might turn heel in the future, which will probably end with Mika betraying her partner. Mika has firmly stated that she will always be a babyface. Empowered could tell that there's a similarity between her and Rainbow Mika, though she has no intention of replicating her Flying Peach attack. The wrestler responded by inviting her to a wrestling ring. Emp ended up enjoying the experience as the crowd loved her outfit despite being worked on by her opponents. After winning the tag team match, Emp makes a habit of watching R. Mika's matches.
- "I'll kick your ass! All right, let's begin!"
- Ever since she was a child, Mika Nanakawa always wanted to be a pro wrestler. Trained by the domineering, golf-cart riding, shinai-wielding, retired pro wrestler and Hall of Famer Yoko Harmageddon

- Say the name Grunbeld Ahlqvist, and depending on who you ask, you get one of two images: the first being that of the valiant Flame Dragon Knight, and was the hero who held off the invading Tudor Empire for over a decade. The second image is that of the demonic Apostle who has joined forces with the reborn Griffith and the New Band of the Hawk, who led the attack on Flora's home, resulting in her death. Speaking of Griffith, he was able to secure Grunbeld's ascension, and like a Phoenix (well, dragon actually) rising from the ashes, Grunbeld was reunited with Griffith in the Pantheon. One thing that people notices about Grunbeld is that he is tall. Even as a teenager, he towered over most kids, and by the time he was grown, he was a literal giant at 8 feet, 10 inches (or 270 centimeters). That makes him taller than the Shokan warrior Goro (by 8 inches), and The Mountain That Rides, Ser Gregor Clegane (by 10 inches).
- To say that Grunbeld did not have an easy life is like saying water is wet. He grew up in the Grand Duchy of Grant, a child of faded noble stock. Then, the Tudor (or Chuder, depending on who you're asking) Empire attacked his island nation, tortured and raped his mother before his very eyes (hence, his abject hatred of rapists in general), imprisoned in a Tudor prison camp for forced conversion under the sadistic Tudor Knight, Sir Abecassis, who tried everything and anything to break him (including letting his guards violate Sigurd, a friend of Grunbeld's) for four years until the Grant forces freed the children. Adopted by General Kristen, Grunbeld worked his way up the ranks, until he was given command of Dragon's Lair, a mountain Fortress, and kept the Tudor forces at bay for over a decade. Then, he was betrayed (yet, another way to piss him off) by Edvard, another close friend of his who sold him out to Abecassis. Left at death's door following a barrage of cannon fire, with his love interest Benedikte dying in his arms and a dying Sigur about to be violated by Edvard, Grunbeld's despair activated his Beherit, of which he acquired during his time in Abecassis's prison. Following the Godhand's proposal of new battles to be fought, Grunbeld sacrificed Edvard, Sigur, and Benedikte, transforming into a demonic, crystalline dragon. Par the course of a newly-minted Apostle, Grunbeld meted out his own brand of justice on the traitorous Edvard; a brutal and gory demise for the man who betrayed him. For Benedikte and Sigur, he was more merciful and gave them a quick death via dragonfire. Then, he found Abecassis and decimated his forces, as well as taking his revenge on the man that was 14 years in the making; first by dismembering him then by setting him on fire. Following Benedikte's final words to him (“Search for the Hawk of Light. That is your destiny.”) Grunbeld found himself in service to Griffith's reformed Band of the Hawk.
- Discovered that Guts was also part of the Pantheon. Before he could go about demanding a rematch, Benedikte sat him down and told Grunbeld all that has happened to Guts prior to the Eclipse. Born from the womb of a hanged woman, raised as a child soldier, violated as a boy who paid his foster father three silver pieces (and later, killed said rapist in revenge, of which Grunbeld approved), survived the Eclipse after losing an arm and and eye, and was forced to watch as Femto raped his woman put of spite. The same Femto he serves under as Griffith. At the urging of both his Heralds, Grunbeld decide to leave Guts alone. For now.
- Unlike most Apostles, who are in it simply For the Evulz, Grunbeld has a code of honor, something that carried over from his time as a human. His ascension to the Pantheon had an unexpected effect. He was reunited with both Benedikte and Sigur. Apparently, being around his former love interest and his longtime friend reverts Grunbeld back to normal. Fortunately, there was no hard feelings over Grunbeld choosing them to be sacrificed, as both were near-death. Grunbeld just gave them a painless way to go. Which is why that Grunbeld raised them both as his Heralds, along with the standing order that if any harm comes onto either of them, then they answer to him. Enter Tywin Lannister's mad dog, Ser Gregor Clegane. It's not everyday that The Mountain finds himself looking up at someone, but he found himself face-to-chin with one irate, warhammer-wielding Apostle. First the first time in his life, Clegane retreated. This, however, does not go unnoticed by Tywin Lannister. Knowing full well who Grunbeld's superiors are, the Old Lion gives Grunbeld a wide berth.
- Grunbeld is on the fence regarding Julius Caesar, though. On the one hand, both men were impoverished patricians, and came up in the military. Both men were held hostage, whereas Caesar's time in captivity was a lot shorter than his, and both men fell to betrayal. On the other hand, the antics of the Roman Republic's forces were similar to that of Tudor. Caesar, the madman, invited Grunbeld to his temple for a friendly chat, with the promise of safe conduct - and Caesar's word of honor - should he accept. No one knows what was said, but after an hours-long conversation with Caesar, Grunbeld left with a grudging respect towards the Roman dictator. The Romans could be total jackasses to those under their thumb and to even their own citizens, Caesar admitted, but Caesar genuinely cares for his soldiers (as Grunbeld himself witnessed), and does not take betrayal very well. Grunbeld could only wonder what would happen if Caesar got a hold of a Behelit on that fateful day known in history as the Ides of March. Through the Band of the Hawk's informants, Grunbeld found himself standing before Castlevania, the domicile of one Dracula Vlad Tepes. Unlike Caesar, who Grunbeld is on the fence regarding his actions, his friendship with the man formerly known as Mathias Cronqvist is indeed genuine. Through a series of events, Grunbeld encountered an alternative version of Dracula, only he was once known as Gabriel Belmont. Gabriel could sympathize with Grunbeld over many things. He also applauded Grunbeld on how he had gotten his revenge on Abecassis, the man who has tormented both his and his friends for so many years.
- Grunbeld's weapon of choice is the warhammer. Four feet in length and two hundred pounds, it's been his go-to weapon since he used it to brain a man-eating Kushan tiger in a battle to the death. And since the Pantheon is home to an assortment of Fighters, there's never a dull moment for the Flame Dragon Knight. When he's not performing his duties with the Band of the Hawk, training, or spending time with Sigur and Benedikte at his temple - a perfect duplicate of Dragon's Lair - Grunbeld is honing his abilities in the arena, preparing for his rematch against Guts. It is during his training in the fighting arena that he encountered the Blood Dragon Vampire, Abhorash the Dragon Slayer. Turns out, Abhorash was intrigued about the latest addition to Griffith's army, and decided to seek him out. As the founder of the Blood Dragon clan, Abhorash's combat skills are second to none, and like Grunbeld, holds honor in high regard. Plus, it's been a while since he consumed the blood of a strong opponent, especially that of a dragon. The ensuing battle had left the training arena in a wreck, the battle having ended in a draw. For Grunbeld, Abhorash gave him a fight on par with that of his final battle against Guts. Now, Wiz and Boomstick are plotting to make the rematch a battle to the death. The match has been witnessed by several of the resident dragon hunters of the Pantheon, The Dovahkiin, The Monster Hunters, and Ornstein. The idea of fighting someone who could transform into a crystalline dragon does have some merit. Only problem is that if they challenge Grunbeld outside of the fighting arena, then they would draw unwanted attention from Grunbeld's boss and his superiors in the Godhand.
You're prematurely ascending Karin & R. Mika even though they have only 2 approvals. It requires 3 approvals in order for a week-long waiting period to start before they can be properly ascended. 4 approvals is a 3-day waiting period and 5 means they can be ascended immediately.

I believe I gave Karin and Mika a
already since I think it's ready, but you still need to adhere to the Pantheon submission rules. Roku already made a similar mistake regarding trying to preemptively putting Pantheon profiles in.

- A young Samus Aran life changed forever when the mining colony she lived with her parents was attacked by Ridley and the Space Pirates. She lost everything that day but was saved by the Chozos. After altering her DNA to better survive their homeworld of Zebes, she was trained by them to become not only the ultimate warrior of the galaxy, but also their lasting legacy of their dying race,
- Samus Aran made history in the videogame world in the 80s when she became the earliest known female protagonist in a videogame. However, the fact she was a female was a surprise since many info on her portrayed her as being male. So it came as a surprise to gamers when they beat a Metroid game under certain condition, she reveals herself as a woman under the suit.
- Has a tendency to lose her abilities and weaponries during the beginning of her missions. Luckily, she is able to reclaim them during her missions with most coming from Chozo statues. A similar event happened when she ascended to the Pantheon and did battle with Ridley. And that includes finding Chozo statues in the Pantheon.
- There are those who often mistake Samus as being named Metroid when it is actually the name of the alien life suckers she fights. Though, from a certain point of view they may not be too off since "Metroid" is a Chozo world meaning "Ultimate Warrior". And since Samus her self is a warrior trained by Chozo to be their ultimate creation to protect the world, they maybe not too far off. This is especially true now that her Metroid DNA has taken over and she is now seen as as an actual Metroid.
- Has a tendency for her mission to end with the planet she is on to explode. Because of this, she is advised to go near any living planets like Mogo or Primus for fear of them blowing up.
- Despite being described as a bounty hunter, many have noticed she doesn't really act like one. Instead coming off like some kind of mercenary. Still, she has encountered other intergalactic bounty hunters like Lobo and Boba Fett during her missions.
- Accepted a job to eliminate Xenomorphs who infested parts of the Saving Grace Animal Sanctuary. While destroying any Facehugger eggs and the now xeno-beasts, she remarks how their metamorphosis reminded her of the Metroids with their drones looking similar to the Zeta Metroid.
- Hates Evolto. Why natural it's because he is a Planet Destroyer, it mostly comes from his manipulation of Build Riders as he tried to make them stronger for his own benefits and his smug attitude that reminds her of Raven Beaks.
The Scrappy of the Trope Pantheon, God of Thumps
I think we can expand the paragraphs.
Also, one of the few times where I'd say the Smash Zero suit Samus render would be welcomed since we can actually see the face of Samus and not her backside.

Looking at the allies. I don't see Kei and Yuri in Ruin and Destruction. Axl isn't in Normal Combat, and assuming he's the Mega Man one then he's in Heroic Appearances and Scars. Also again, there isn't a Time And Space House anymore, also I think neither Buck Rogers or Flash Gordon are in Pantheon.

It might be a bit until my apartment's power points are fixed so I'll just post a small opinion piece
Benevolent Abomination is now a thing. I would like permission to change Kthanid's trope to it. Did We Just Have Tea with Cthulhu? might be more appropriate with an eldritch being that isn't good the way we see it but is amiable to us. I think Kthanid fits Benevolent Abomination because on the reverse of how Nyarlathotep is typically "the one truly evil abomination" Kthanid is "the one truly good abomination" as he is head the Elder Gods, the "good guy" faction of the eldritch entities that oppose the Great Old Ones. Future stories have said Elder Gods as "still amoral and Blue-and-Orange Morality but their interests coincide with ours" though he remains fully heroic
For pics of Zero Suit Samus, perhaps looking here will help

This pic would do better, but it's just not one with a transparent background

While a step-up from the previous profile's abominable content, needs a lot more expansion. (Do look at the recently done Metroid profiles for reference) For one, it's to be noted that the planets that go bye-bye when Samus visits pretty much have a very good reason to be wiped off the face of the galaxy. Also, while "Death Battle"-based interactions are usually just stinky tbh, mentioning Samus' abilities to handle Boba Fett would actually make sense given that their professions will give them reasons to actually butt heads in the Pantheon. note Could note her tense relations with the Galactic Federation in her universe.
For more interaction suggestions, there's The Alliance of Free Stars, an benevolent alliance of aliens. Of special note among them is the Yehat, who are pterodactyl-like aliens with a Proud Warrior Race culture much like how the Chozo used to be in the past, and were in conflict with their more peaceful Pkunk offshoot species due to conflicting philosophies. The Yehat actually don't really get along with the Chozo too well either, but the Yehat on the Alliance's side would certainly respect her as a warrior enough to offset that. There are some Yehat on the Ur-Quan Kzer-Za's side, and she'd definitely be enemies with the Kzer-Za as well as their Ur-Quan Kohr-Ah brethren.
KILL CONSUME MULTIPLY CONQUERThanks for the permission to change the trope. Did We Just Have Tea with Cthulhu? is free to use













Correction: The Ur-Quan do not use the Dnyarri for mind control (in fact, mind control is something they all hate), but rather were enslaved by the malicious Dnyarri and the Ur-Quan would oppose any of such entities using mind control. The Ur-Quan did reduce the Dnyarri to sub-sentience as payback, so that's something that would horrify the Plantars in turn. Fix that and you'd get my
for the Plantars too.
