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- If you feel the need to remove a character for some reason (poor quality, outdated titles, etcetera) and replace him/her with another or outright rework, please see what the other tropers think about this in the discussion thread before doing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.
- And some more trivia/facts.
- And a couple more.
- Note: Standard amount of flavor text for Treasures is 7 at minimum to 12 at maximum.

@Migami: The Nerd would be opposed to the Cheetah Men, the CDI-Zelda characters, E.T. and R.O.B. the robot, having played their games in the past and not liking any of them. Meanwhile, the Critic would have to deal with other characters from the movies he reviewed like Hexxus, Batty Koda, Hubie and Rocko, the dinosaurs from We’re Back, the cast of The Thief and The Cobbler, Balto among many others.

Time to explore the world!@M1gami: The Nerd, being a massive Godzilla fan, would probably be happy about the amount of Kaijus from the series in the Pantheon. The Critic meanwhile would probably be annoyed that the infamous 1998 version of Godzilla is also here, having disliked his film.
A couple of new profile suggestions:
- Mr. Dark (Southern Gothic Satan or Attack of the Town Festival): A devious ringmaster who uses his carnival to show people their biggest desires, only to corrupt them and feed on their emotions. The carnival happens just before Halloween and Mr. Dark has done such deeds prior to meeting the protagonists, who are trying to stop him. Still trying to see which specific trope works better for him.
- Maria (Environmental Symbolism): A woman who is haunted by a wolf and takes shelter inside an isolated house. The house (and everything connected to it) is constantly shifting its surroundings to reflect Maria's fragile state of mind, especially when she imagines herself raising children who gradually turn against her.
Personally, I was thinking of having the Edgerunners group ascend under Future Slang due to the group being part of a world with its own unique slang words, as categorized here,
with them heavily using them. But hey, that's just one suggestion.
Got 2
s for Pleasure Island. Anyone else want the pleasure of giving it some
s?
Pleasure Island, Seat of Disturbingly Mind-Changing Land (Land of Toys, Prankster's Paradise)


-
count: 2 (Necromancer, Excessive)
- To Go in: Establishments And Installations
- Description: A seemingly normal island amusement park dedicated to letting children act like animals. With enough time, they become donkeys to be sold to the salt mines or worse.
- Theme Song: Pleasure Island
. Alternatively, The Fun Fair
(Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance)
- Symbol: An island with a roller coaster...at least that's what the Coachman WANTS the symbol to be. The true symbol is a child with donkey ears, a tail, and hooves.
- Alignment: Chaotic Evil
- Portfolio: Amusement Park of Doom, Curse of Polymorph, Crapsaccharine World, Giving off Fate Worse than Death
- Domains: Dark fun, transformation, slavery, evil
- Proprietor: The Coachman
- Holy to: Child haters and slave owners, like Springtrap, Pennywise, Lionel Starkweather, The Slavers, Ludwig Von Tökkentäkker
- Unholy to: Jiminy Cricket, Pinocchio, Geppetto, Magolor, Isuzu Sento Moguro Fukuzou, The Fazbear Gang, Mustache Girl, Peacock, Marie, Cuphead and Mugman, The Animorphs, Sora (Kingdom Hearts), Riku (Kingdom Hearts), basically any gods who loves children
- Banned: Ethan Roark Junior, surprisingly enough
- During Pinocchio's adventure, one of the most well-known places he ventured off to was Pleasure Island, a place where children can act as vile and cruelly as they want with no repercussions. While there are regular theme park rides here, there are plenty of attractions dedicated to the dark side of children. From smoking cigars and drinking beer to the more violent side of destroying anything they desire, this theme park is aimed at getting kids to act as rowdy and cruel as possible. While it is a regular amusement part on the surface (save for the more volatile attractions), there is a dark and evil underside. If a child stays here long enough to give in to their dark desires too much, they will turn into donkeys. Some will lose their voice and be sent to work till they die in the salt mines. The lucky ones (debatably) that kept their voices will be dealt with in ways only the Coachmen know.
- The ruler of this land is the Coachman, who is well known throughout villain circles as one of the few Disney threats capable of escaping the law of justice. Realizing that his operations with Pleasure Island within the hall of Otherworldly and Unorthodox Locations was getting ignored due to just how the knowledge of the island's secret and location made it so others would instinctively avoid it at worst, and rejected by visitors in favor of the more chaotic places the hall housed at best, he decided it was time to relocate his business. Talking with some villains of the Grand United Alliance of Evil to help him set up business elsewhere, they decided to help make Pleasure Island a proper place within the Pantheon. Seeing potential in tricking unsuspecting folks who wouldn't expect him that far from his temple, they approved of the location change by ascending Pleasure Island as a Pantheon location itself. Now, The Coachman has helpers stationed around the ports of the Pantheon, where they tend to ships and pick up any lost children to tell them about Pleasure Island and lure them there.
- Due to the fact that the island now has a place in the Pantheon and is much easier to reach, Jiminy, Pinocchio, and Geppetto have been working overtime to keep kids as far away from that place as they know from first-hand experience how deadly and dangerous such a place could be. On his end, The Coachman has been hitting back with his own lies about how the island is actually safe and the three were just unsatisfied customers. To his credit, they WERE unsatisfied customers. While Pinocchio and his family were able to save some kids from getting tricked, there still were a couple of curious children who paid for their naivety.
- Among others willing to spread the news about how bad Pleasure Island is were Sora and Riku, already having personal experience with the place during an adventure. With their firsthand experience and how trustworthy and friendly they are with others, the word has managed to spread faster and further than Pinocchio and his family could ever wish to do. They are thankful for Sora and Riku's help keeping the children of the Pantheon safe, while the Coachman is forced to spend more and more money to keep fighting back against their damnation of Pleasure Island.
- The Coachman has had someone look over his island's history and how profitable it could be.
The results came back with a very expensive cost to set everything up, but thanks to them kidnapping children in an age where orphans were plentiful as well as kids with actual families, there would be more than enough loose kids around from him to make a pretty penny from it. This revelation has increased his business with some of the most depraved members in the Pantheon wanting to join in on what they see as a lucrative business prospect. Some of them even offered to help boost his theme park's security and attractions. Of course, with all the other members of the Pantheon loathing the island and wanting to get rid of it, The Coachman has started to use some of his profits to ensure that the offers he redeemed stay as good as they advertise.
- Bizarrely, Disney (the company who showed us this horrid accursed place) once named an adult-oriented nighttime clubbing district in Walt Disney World after this place. Granted, it doesn't have any of the deadly traps that turn visitors into donkeys, unless you count getting drunk turning you into a jackass. Today, it's The Landing at Disney Springs, which has no nightclubs. Within the Pantheon, some plans have popped up about potentially reopening it, just under a different name to make it clear that it's not the same place as the Coachman's Island.
- With the Coachman selling donkeys here for others to use in the salt mines, the underside of Pleasure Island has been a hive for slave traders to come out and buy new slaves for them. The Slavers have been a frequent customer for him, going out to the island to buy donkeys to do grunt work for them, or to sell them to Starkweather to use in his deranged films. You know, just in case they needed another reason to be hated.
- Pennywise is another person who managed to score a gig on the island, being used to lure in kids with his jokes and antics and scare and eat any donkeys still talking. Given how the Coachman wants no traces of his island and talking donkeys will instantly expose him, he is willing to let Pennywise dine out for free. To help boost his remnant numbers, Springtrap has approached the Coachman with an offer. Any kids that were turned into donkeys that could still talk could be harvested by him in order to collect the remnants needed to help him achieve immortality. The Coachman agreed as long as Springtrap can keep providing the funds to buy them off his hands, and as a former owner of a pizza restaurant, he certainly does have the cash to do so...
- In a similar fashion to Pennywise, The Coachman heard of Ludwig's shows and was impressed with their cruelty, opening a tent on the island for him to perform under, letting him use kids for his acts, planning on them being destroyed in brutal ways under the guise of it being part of the show. Ludwig is more than happy to have a new home within the Coachman's twisted theme park, giving everyone yet another reason to see this island go under.
- Pennywise is another person who managed to score a gig on the island, being used to lure in kids with his jokes and antics and scare and eat any donkeys still talking. Given how the Coachman wants no traces of his island and talking donkeys will instantly expose him, he is willing to let Pennywise dine out for free. To help boost his remnant numbers, Springtrap has approached the Coachman with an offer. Any kids that were turned into donkeys that could still talk could be harvested by him in order to collect the remnants needed to help him achieve immortality. The Coachman agreed as long as Springtrap can keep providing the funds to buy them off his hands, and as a former owner of a pizza restaurant, he certainly does have the cash to do so...
- To the surprise of absolutely everyone, the Coachman has flat-out banned Ethan Roark Junior from buying children for his own sick personal fantasies. However, he has a business reason for this. He's trying to keep eyes and authority off his park, and if they hear that kids are being sold there for Roark's disgusting habits, his park will be labeled as the number one hit list for everyone in the Pantheon and he'll never see another buck again. Roark is angered by this but respects the Coachman's ideas. He resorted to just lingering on the docks for any unlucky kid to get cold feet and run off the boats for him to chase. Said chases tend to end with Roark getting chased and arrested by police officers who were already stationed to keep kids safe from the Coachman's island.
- Of course, with a theme park being all about exploiting kids and selling them to slavers, people who actually do run a legitimate theme park are greatly offended by this park's very existence. Magolor, despite his own treacherous past, has genuinely become a good guy and is extremely happy running his own theme park, Merry Magoland. He once was able to use his Lor Starcutter to trick the Coachman, who had never seen the ship before and thought it was one of the ships given to him to help his park and slavery business, into giving him his load of kids, which he took to Merry Magoland to have fun while alerting the proper authority figures about who he saved and to take them back home. The Coachman was pretty pissed at Magolor for pulling one over him, doubly so because if he tried to get revenge on him by trying to enslave or beat him with his henchmen, it will just be a Curb-Stomp Battle in Magolor's favor, even if he is the Devil (potentially).
- Despite not running a theme park anymore due to her poor management skills from learning how to fight too much, Isuzu is another threat that The Coachman has to deal with, but he can usually just deal with her by sending his henchmen at her. While Isuzu is able to more often than not send them packing with her skills, they keep blocking her from the Coachman, but she has promised that she will not go easy on her. The Coachman, for his part just laughs her off, betting on the island turning her into a donkey before she could reach him.
- With the revelation that this strange place is capable of transforming kids into donkeys and selling them off, this place became a very popular to-go location for deities who love children. Not to visit the island as a tourist, but to rescue any children that may have gotten in, to halt operations, or to give the Coachman some overdue karma. These could range from destroying the boats, ruining the attractions, or just killing the Coachman and keeping him as far away from the island as possible. Several of these interventions were as follows...
- During an attempt to increase the island's popularity, The Coachman got a deal with Freddy Fazbear's Pizza to build a location on the island, which was extremely easy to work out. With Springtrap's help, they were able to quickly build some animatronics specifically to be torn down by the kids, with some even kidnapping them after their performances. However, during one of their trips, the original Freddy Fazbear and his crew ended up getting shipped over there by accident. Absolutely enraged by the sight of this location and knowing who was running the show, they abandoned the show the first chance they got and got to work tearing the place down. The Coachman ended up trying to send his workers to stop them, but they just quickly got overwhelmed and left the Coachman to trick them onto a ship to take them back to the mainland, but not without getting knocked into the water for his efforts.
- Cuphead and Mugman ended up accidentally crash-landing on the island during a mission in their planes causing them to lose control. Unaware of the island's name and its secret, Cuphead thought it was a normal amusement park at first and just enjoyed the rides, with Mugman cautiously following along and slowly loosening up...until they both noticed the sign that said "Pleasure Island". The two screamed in fear, realizing just where they ended up in, only to grow ears and a tail, making them scream louder, with Cuphead, already indulging in most of the activities there, becoming a complete donkey that can still talk. The Coachman quickly noticed them and the fact they were causing a scene and scaring the other kids into trying to leave, forcing him to gather his henchmen to try and beat them into submission. However, with Mugman still having his hands to shoot and Cuphead quickly making use of his donkey legs to dodge their attacks and kick them down, they emerged victorious and left, stealing the boat and leading the kids there back to safety. They were able to regain their porcelain proportions thanks to Elder Kettle helping them whip up a remedy, with them not even getting in trouble because they genuinely didn't realize it was Pleasure Island until it was too late. They became some of the most frequent folks in stopping the Coachman from taking any more kids away.
- Peacock, Marie, and Mustache Girl didn't even realize that Pleasure Island was where the kids turned into donkeys. They were just stopping The Slavers from doing any more deals and ended up finding one of their hiding spots, Pleasure Island's underside. Peacock originally planned to ambush the Slavers until they heard children begging to be freed and the Coachman and his workers whipping them. With their combined powers, they were able to make quick work of them and make off with The Coachman's batch of donkeys for the day, leaving him forced to explain to the Slavers that he couldn't sell them anything today, which they responded in a very civil and non-destructive manner.
- The Animorphs are all too familiar with the idea of being turned into animals. However, while they are given Voluntary Shapeshifting, the kids stuck here are given no such luxuries, and as such, the group is more than happy to make time out of their day to raid the island, rescuing kids and leading them off the island. Well aware of the irony of shapeshifting animals coming to stop them, The Coachman has retaliated by ordering cages and tools in order to make the Animorphs serve him, or to sell them to the highest bidder. During one such raid, they were able to disguise themselves as donkeys, constantly giving the Coachman and his henchmen the slip, only to sneak attack them when they least expected it. They all have their own reason to hate the island and the Coachman, be it hating the cruelty and being stuck in forms that the kids can't choose or change (Cassie and Tobias), wanting to personally kill the Coachman (Rachael), just saving all the kids and donkeys they can (Jake and Marco), or just following their friends into combat (Ax).
- However, the most damning incident that hindered the island was when The Coachman tried to con Moguro Fukuzou. The Coachman thought he made a new ally in the form of The Laughing Salesman, after telling him that he was an amusement park owner who wanted to attract kids and make them happy and carefree. Given how Moguro somehow didn't know about the nature of the island at first (and given The Coachman possibly being the Devil, it just adds fuel to that fire), it worked and Moguro managed to add in some new fancy amusement park rides and food that attracted many kids. That said, it all came tumbling down once Moguro realized that there were kids going in, but no one going out. Doing some detective work himself, he eventually stumbled upon the underbelly of the island, discovering the awful truth about the kids turning into donkeys and being shipped off to salt mines with all the henchmen whipping them. Some children who were rescued by him reported that his eternal smile actually dropped discovering this secret. When the Coachman looked back at the island after overseeing these shipments, he found out that many attractions on the island had gone down, all the kids were gone back to the mainland, and there was a very angry Moguro greeting him.
Moguro: "And you call yourself a fan of kids. Is that because you love how they turn into donkeys and make you money?"The Coachman: "Oh! You, saw down there, huh? Well, not all of them turn into donkeys completely. We have to deal with them in other ways. Surely a fellow business person would understand, right?"Moguro: "Oh, I understand. I understand that you are completely heartless and soulless. Makes me wonder just how human you are..." *Raises his right hand in the air, pointing to the sky.*The Coachman: "W-wait a minute! N-no need to do anything rash now, right?!? I can prove myself useful to you, honest!"Moguro: "You claim that, yet you willingly turned many innocent kids into donkeys! Into jackasses! If you really like jackasses that much, then let me help you become one!" *Jerks his right hand down, now pointing at The Coachman* "DOOOOOON!"
- Not long after, Cuphead and Mugman, during one of their days when they were tasked to try and rescue any kids that wandered into Pleasure Island, found the place in disarray, and Moguro leading a ferry of kids away from the island, with him telling them that he sorted everything out, and to tell the others that Pleasure Island was closed. Upon piecing together that the angry donkeys glaring at the cups were actually The Coachman and his henchmen, they both had a good laugh over how karma caught up with them and raced off to tell the others what happened, leaving Moguro to deliver the kids to their temples on his coach, and the exhausted donkeys to the house of Beast, where even after Moguro's don effects wore off, The Coachman and henchmen still acted like donkeys for a while. Since then, Moguro has become the biggest threat against Pleasure Island, pretty much stalling its operations to a halt, sending in magical relics and statues that nullify the place's transforming effects. The Coachman has been forced to pull the curtains back and start calling in favors from his allies to help him keep the place running and has sworn vengeance upon Moguro.
- "Quiet! You boys have had your fun. Now pay for it!"

With all those thumbs-ups, the place where boys don't come back as boys is up... and immediately under siege by several different powerful deities. Oh well, Coachman, you can apply for an extension to your Karma Houdini Warranty in the courthouse.

Also, maybe a reference to the Angry Video Game Nerd Adventures duology of games, ala Nerd gets dragged into a game by a hand literally grabbing his balls. Of course, maybe an interaction with gamers and game developers, seeing as AVGN's Arch-Enemy is one who goes by "Fred Fucks".
Reposting Hidan. Filled up enough and I think he's good to go, so approvals are up. Anything more I can add or is he ready to be ascended?

- Hidan was once a resident of the village of Yugakure during a time when the nation was in a period of peace and not willing to get involved in further conflict that plagued the rest of the Ninja World, but Hidan not only disapproved, but outright hated that his village wanted to move to a direction of peace, believing that war and bloodshed were not just necessary, but a blessing to be pursued. To that end, Hidan went on to become a believer in a religion that worshipped Jashin and came to enjoy its practices, to the extent that he gave himself to a ritual experimental that rendered him immortal so long as he continued to kill and shed blood for Jashin, a direction that he was personally eager to partake in. When he couldn't convince anyone in his village to side with him, Hidan went on to kill many of Yugakure's residents and escape the village, marking himself a missing-nin. Wanting to continue his crazed slew of killings, Hidan was met by a trio of ninjas who were part of an upcoming criminal conspiracy, Akatsuki. One of the members, Kakuzu stepped in to do battle against Hidan, and after a stalemate, the Jashin worshiper was impressed to see that his opponent was an immortal like him, enough to accept an invitation into the Akatsuki as a member per Konan's request, with Kakuzu being appointed as his personal partner. The objectives of capturing jinchuriki, hosts of the legendary Tailed Beasts served as a bonus for Hidan, who would put more priority on killing as many people as he could to satiate his religious desires and bloodlust and working with Kakuzu's side job as a Bounty Hunter for powerful targers. This would lead him to a confrontation with ninjas from Konohagakure where after a grueling fight, Hidan would personally kill Asuma Sarutobi, a member of the Twelve Ninja Guardians, instilling a deep enmity towards his group of apprentices, Team 10. Days later, Hidan and Kakuza would again battle Team 10, under the leadership of Kakashi Hatake, where he would be singled out by Shikamaru Nara into a one-on-one battle deep in the forests, culminating with Hidan being outsmarted and defeated by the younger ninja through clever tactics and trickery. As he was buried in the rubble and his body blown apart, Hidan cursed and screamed at his victorious opponent as he was finally smothered into the ground...
- What happened to Hidan after his battle against Shikamaru remains lost, though depending on who asks about it, it might be for the better. As the requirements for his immortality require him to kill others in the name of Jashin, Hidan might have suffered a slow and agonizing death, buried deep underground with his body blown and scattered to pieces while his head begins to rot from malnutrition... whilst slowly losing his immortality. A horrifying fate, but one that was deserved for one as awful and depraved as him. Even so, he'd still find himself in the Pantheon, fully restored and immediately wanting to resume his usual hobby; killing under the name of his religion and for his own sick enjoyment... only he faced a new issue there, namely that the Akatsuki has since disbanded, Kakuzu is nowhere in the Pantheon, and he's seemingly all on his own. It took a while for him to realize he might as well kickstart a new goal for himself; popularize the religion of Jashinism; if he doesn't have a legacy, then there's no one stopping him from creating one. That, and vowing revenge against Shikamaru and Team 10, regardless of whether they're in the Pantheon or not.
- Hidan is, for the lack of a better term, a complete asshole. And not only that, he's a sick, twisted monster whose depravity far surpasses his own superiors by miles; all he cares about is butchering other people because, to him, there's nothing better than mass slaughter. Unsurprisingly, he's proud of his evilness, yet he's aware that it's not going to win him many friends, though that's more because of his abrasive, foul-mouthed attitude getting on the nerves of anyone around him, even his own partners. Yet in spite of this, he established himself as a feared, dangerous figure for a reason; he's a powerful fighter with great resistance and durability, wielding his large triple-bladed scythe with surprising skill and refinement, but what truly makes him so terrifying is his immortality. Having bound himself to Jashin's teachings, Hidan cannot be killed traditionally; any injuries he takes only amuse him, and even beheading him just incapacitates and annoys him, though he would be unable to fight unless he's reattached to his body. Even worse, all he needs to kill his enemies is a lick of their blood. This is to ensure they are bound to him mentally, after which he creates a symbol of Jashin with their blood. Once he's in said symbol, Hidan can injure himself using a retractable pike in any way he likes, knowing that the pain he inflicts on himself would transfer to his opponents, which could injure, cripple, or kill them depending on the injury the Jashin believer inflicts on himself... and he enjoys every single minute of it. He also takes the appearance of having jet-black skin with white markings, akin to a grim reaper.
- One of the first things Hidan tried to do upon entering the Pantheon was to see if the Akatsuki was still around. Though he preferred doing his own thing, he was still a part of the organization and the only real ally he could rely on, if you could call it that. He would discover that their leader, Pain, had ascended long before he did, but then to his shocking disbelief and anger, he found out that the supposed Akatsuki leader had turned away from the whole "Take Over the World" objective and was now acting as a sort of "protector from the shadows". Hidan was furious, but also strangely amused by this turn of events, furthered by the fact that "Tobi" turned out to be the organization's real leader. There was also a world war that happened long after his defeat, which further frustrated him as Hidan felt that this would have been the sort of event he would have gladly taken part in. Of course, he decided to just declare himself an enemy to his former superiors, feeling that they were always holding him back from wanton killing anyway and the Pantheon feels like he's been given a second opportunity to do what he likes. Though he wouldn't mind new allies in case they share a mutual liking for slaughter.
- Let's just say that there's hardly a ninja, if any at all, who even remotely likes Hidan, either because of his monstrous actions or because he's too much of a prick to be worth hanging around with. Choji was outright infuriated to learn that his former sensei's killer was back, Kakashi took the opportunity to better prepare himself for a rematch, and even foreign ninjas like Ryu Hayabusa, Ayane, and Homura very quickly came to oppose the immortal ninja for his reputation as a maniacal spree killer and his devotion to a depraved religion whose teachings outright encourage such acts. Even the most forgiving ninjas like Kasumi, Asuka, and Naruto himself feel Hidan is simply Beyond Redemption and not worth offering a conversation too. Not that Hidan really cares about their sentiments, if anything, the preachings of friendship from Asuka admittedly revolt him and Naruto leading the Shinobi World to a more peaceful age is worth puking over. To his sick relief, at least there are still threats, new and old, that still hound the continent, though Hidan grumbles at the fact that he likely died underground before he could do anything about it. Personally, he wants to see Shikamaru again in the Pantheon as he eagerly anticipates the day they meet again, where Hidan promises to give Shikamaru as painful of a death as possible to satiate his bloodlust and his newfound claim for vengeance before his demise.
- While mass killings have been a common sight in the Shinobi World at some point in its history, Hidan is one of the few who could genuinely be considered a Spree Killer. Most kills would have been done during times of war, assassinations, and could, but Hidan committed his murders in an act of violent protest against his village once and came to like it so much that he went ahead with more killing sprees to further his excitement and thrill. While allies were rare for him, the same could be said for Cletus Kasady, and this is how the two quickly got acquainted with one another. Carnage was happy to work with someone with a similar love for killing as he did and Hidan was relieved that he finally had a partner whom he could enjoy having company with. It helps that Kasady finds Hidan's religious devotion rather interesting and he, in turn, thinks the Carnage symbiote is a fascinating thing and would gladly want it for himself, that is if it ever separates from Kasady, its current host. Things were a bit more complicated with Bill Williamson, however, as despite their love for slaughter, Bill was a hardcore atheist and found Hidan's belief in Jashinism to be dumb and a waste of his time to learn, which earned the immortal ninja's ire, who roared that someone like Bill has no right to badmouth Jashin like that. Not that Bill cares about such, especially as he feels that his sprees serve a purpose, which Hidan personally laughs at for how short-sighted he thinks Bill is for thinking he's trying to do a service to the world. For all his vileness, Hidan claims that he's at least honest about his work and beliefs, and Bill couldn't say the same thing about it, furthering their inability to work with one another despite their shared interest in slaughter.
- Given his maniacal and bloodthirsty nature, Hidan was asked by one of his allies if he wanted to kill until there was no more left to kill. The Jashin worshiper was initially a little puzzled as human extinction wasn't something he considered, but given Jashin's rule of "murder thy neighbor" and to always honor said god with as many kills as possible, Hidan ultimately decided that he wouldn't mind the idea of depopulating the world and the Pantheon if it meant appeasing Jashin, though he grumbles that he's not strong enough to do that, if several other individuals have proven otherwise. Being an unrepentant sadist, Hidan respected those who had a glee on tormenting others in excruciating fashion and detail, with the artificial intelligence known as AM being a sterling example, considering how it quickly developed and relished in its malevolent desires and nature, though considering AM'a utter hatred of everything, Hidan is quite weary of crossing paths with it, clearly not wanting to go back to being a helpless severed head. He also likes a certain "Not Important" for his successful rampage in New York and ultimately triumphing in his dark crusade to kill as many people as possible, though Hidan would much prefer "Not Important" to make his own sense of humor before he himself does so forcibly. That, and Hidan has taken a liking for guns thanks to "Not Important", feeling that their effectiveness in combat could be morphed into a torture weapon if he ever gets his hands on one.
- Despite many from his world having made their way into the divine realms before he did, Hidan expresses annoyance and anger that Jashinism is nowhere to be found in the Pantheon. There are other evil gods in the likes of Melkor, Darkseid, and Molag Bal that can be considered as alternatives and while Hidan respects them for their depravity and tendencies to inflict the worst possible pain and torture possible to their enemies and even subjects, Hidan remains stubbornly committed to Jashin above all else, furthered by the fact that his belief in said god is the reason why Hidan is immortal to begin with, though if any of those three gods state any intention to recruit Hidan for their own ends, he doesn't have an issue with that either, so long as they respect his wishes to just be involved in whatever bloodshed he could partake in. Then there are other religions like the Los Iluminados and The Hårga, which partake in dark and macabre ritual activities and lifestyles to further their agendas. Despite their evil outlook, Hidan found them rather boring; Los Iluminados was more focused on world domination and simply wasn't into the idea of being a ruler, just finding the thrill of slaughter to be much more fun and proactive for him, while The Hårga, to him at least, felt like a sunny parody of Yugakure; a seemingly kind and friendly place, only being led by a cult that demands sacrifices via immolation. Hidan doesn't have a problem with creating zombies or seeing victims being murdered and/or immolated alive, he just feels that the best way to experience murder is to be upfront about it without impunity. Despite his rivalry against them, Hidan strangely doesn't bear any strong ill against them either, feeling that for a devout believer like him, he's not in a position to insult and mock devout religious believers and the faith they practice. Despite his depravity, this is one code he strangely keeps his word on, not that he cares about being condemned and being considered hypocritical regardless.
- With the Akatsuki now being rebranded into a more heroic, albeit mysterious and undercover, organization under Pain's guidance, Hidan figured that he might as well try his luck in other groups and teams that might be attracted to his murderous intentions. He got what he asked for with Wild Hunt, a supposed police force for a corrupted empire that chose to subvert their authority and oath in every way possible in favor of indulging in the worst criminal actions possible. Being a group of vicious psychos, Hidan ended up fitting in quite well with them and enjoys working with them if he's ever available, with the Jashinist going as far as to be considered an honorary Wild Hunt member. That said, he's in for murder, not for the other sorts of crimes that the other members commit, though he admits that he doesn't get fazed by torture and non-consensual violation anyway. He also finds The Joker to be a hilarious and equally fun person to look up to, though the Clown Prince of Crime personally felt that while Hidan is certainly a fun lad in his perspective, he feels that he needs to get "creative" about his hobby as Joker thinks there’s more to being artistic than “get someone’s blood, lick it, use said blood to create symbol on the ground, stand on the said symbol, and then self-harm”. Hidan has taken that criticism to note and, for once, decided to be constructive about it, thinking about various ways to kill others whilst also taking notes from Carnage, whom Joker did work with at some point, despite not being in touch. The Jashinist hopes that his future attempts will impress the Clown Prince of Crime as his way to validate how his beliefs have made him all the more powerful.
- He loves the House of Slaughter and sometimes plans on taking vacation trips there. The sight of blood, corpses, and strewn meat allues Hidan considerably and he enjoys trying to search for potential victims there to further his playtime. Incidentally, this has actually annoyed most of the House's residents as they're already trying to deal with them having an awkward reputation and that the Jashinist's presence actively goes against their business in the sense that it furthers their unpopularity. That said, the torture chambers hidden deep underground were much more welcoming for Hidan as the residents there were not shy about their infamy and desire to experiment with their victims for the hell of it. So it's to no one's surprise that Hidan likes lounging about in the Hall of Torture and Mutilation, eagerly getting around to selecting whoever he wants to torture and kill, and sometimes gets into competition against the Hall's residents there, such as Desaad, Ramsay Bolton, and Herman Carter, with Hidan wondering how ecstatic he feels about outcompeting the New God of Sadism, a challenge that Desaad personally doesn't want to put much thought on, instead preferring to either stick with his own hobbies or plan on overthrowing his master. The Houses of Killers and Assassins and Murder and Assassination were two other halls that the Jashinist has visited at times, though he's annoyed at how most of the residents there treat him either with annoyance, revulsion, or both, though some, such as the Brave Companions and the Cyclops Killer have found Hidan rather amusing and are willing to work with him for their own depraved thrills.
- His immortality is pretty unique, but it also makes him a source of infamy for much of the House of Life and Vitality, considering he has to kill others out of service for his patron deity to keep his longevity intact. There are some who crave the immortality he possessed, but Hidan finds that rather amusing, seeing their thoughts as an act of jealousy, though they would insist that they don't want to have it based on a god who loves murder. Given how he sees his immortality as a blessing, Hidan has trouble trying to understand how some would rather not want to be given eternal life and finds Dr. Henry Morgan to be an insult, criticizing his reluctance to kill as well as, in Hidan's words, being a "wuss" who mopes around his everlasting life when he should be embracing it. Of course, Dr. Morgan is having none of what the Jashinist blurts out, calling him and his religion pathetic. Hidan's tendencies of being gung-ho in action thanks to his longevity also brings to mind Fujiwara no Mokou, who made for a more traditional foe, albeit one that Hidan has trouble killing due to being, well, immortal, hence their fights tend to be few and far between.
- Like Hidan, there were a few figures who achieved immortality by malignant means and had a craving for their newfound longevity, but this also comes with an inflated sense of pride and a desire to lord over others in addition to wanting to instill a regime where only they remain rulers. Of all the figures the Jashinist could meet, Anton Arcane and Vandal Savage seemed to be the only two whom he could get along with; Anton being a practitioner of dark science relishing the chances of becoming a demon found Hidan and Jashin to be interesting topics, and generally doesn't mind his new ally's foul mouth and reckless fighting style, while Savage found him as a useful muscle to have, can understand Hidan's passion for violence and pain, and is able to keep him employed for direct dirty business and as a personal "clean up sweep" for any troubles he deems not of his time to spend on. Lord Voldemort, on the other hand, proved a different tale, as despite their shared sadistic hobbies and mean-spirited arrogance, the dark lord quickly found himself envious of Hidan's immortality; for one, they preserved the Jashinist's youthful looks and he really can't die from whatever hits him. Voldemort's overwhelming ego meant he couldn't bring himself to get along with Hidan and declared him a being he must prove superior against whereas the Jashinist learned about Horcruxes and quickly saw them as amateurish and inferior to how his immortality works and mocked the Death Eater leader for how incredibly ugly he looked. Needless to say, neither of them like each other at all. Darth Vitiate's immortality was much grander in terms of scale and Hidan admitted that his attempt and longevity were pretty impressive though upon learning of just how overwhelmingly powerful the Sith Emperor is, the Jashinist prefers to put some distance for now, preferring to just stick to whatever he is capable of killing for the time being.
- His belief in Jashin requires him to participate in some blood-related jutsus and techniques. Most notably, Hidan just needs a drip of blood from his enemies to lick and create his religion's symbol in order to mentally link their bodies together and Hidan outright enjoys injuring and torturing himself so long as the pain is transferred to his foes. His technique caught the attention of a number of blood users, with Himiko Toga and Jedah Domah being among those who were able to work alongside the Jashin believer. That said, their alliances, while workable, are purely for their own advances, with Hidan being seen as someone to cause as much collateral damage and death as possible while Himiko and Jedah have their own goals to fulfill, though Hidan himself doesn't mind it. Lady Maria, however, finds Hidan repugnant, though the two have barely encountered one another due to Maria's exiled duty to protect the Astral Clocktower and would show no mercy to Hidan if he ever steps foot near her domain, though the Jashinist is honestly more interested in killing Maria to prove his strength and to see whose affinity to blood is better. Against other blood users, Hidan found himself confronting Mirai Kuriyama and Skarlet, with the former avoiding him at all costs due to his depravity yet is willing to fight him if no other options are left and the latter is interested to see how his affinity to blood works as well as hoping to incorporate that into her abilities in an effort to appease Shao Kahn.
- His final fate is absolutely horrifying, but most would state that it's one that he deserves, given the utterly monstrous being Hidan was in life, and the Pantheon has proven that he hasn't changed at all. Hiden would obviously not want to be decapitated head again nor be buried underground, but that's mainly because there's "no fun" in being immobile. Strangely enough, the "decapitated talking head buried underground" thing is something he has in common with Bender, though the robot quickly found the Jashinist to be too verbally uncouth and a bit psycho to deal with, not to mention torturing "meatbags" via a psychic link just seems boring for Bender, who would rather bite someone's ass literally instead. That, and his time underground was rather pleasant and serene, and he clearly doesn't want to imagine how much swearing and complaining Hidan had to do under the same predicament, much to his anger. And of all the beings Hidan came to learn about in the Pantheon, the Red Death is one of the few he admits to keeping his distance. Sure he's immortal and having to bleed from his orifices doesn't faze him, but confronting the Red Death, let alone fighting against it is an exercise in futility. Maybe the Red Death could actually kill Hidan, but one thing's for certain is that the Jashinist feels bummed out about not being able to do anything about the mysterious entity, especially when it could kill with just its presence being there.


So is my question on me having a bias in this profile or no?

- When The Internet happened, it was inevitable reviewers would migrate there as the platform. Two very notable critics who made their debuts online were objectively pioneers of online reviewer content, popularizing some pissed-off person ranting about something for an audience. That would be the Angry Video Game Nerd and the Nostalgia Critic, still active in their careers as online content creators (YouTube is their home). They had their high ups and low downs in their long careers, though many fans remain to this day who stick by them for all their work. They are happy with the job they built up and are admittedly less angry than before. That does not stop these two who were seen as rivals from doing their best to give their criticism on the products they review.
Angry Video Game Nerd: This video is sponsored by Honkai: Star Rail.
Nostalgia Critic: This video is sponsored by Devil May Cry 5.
YouTube: These videos are sponsored by the demonetization sign if I hear any licensed music there.
Nostalgia Critic: But wait, my reviews are free advertising-
YouTube: You crapping on copyrighted material ain't free advertising, bub.
- Yes, at one point these two men were considered rivals against each other. One reviewed usually digital content while the other reviewed usually theatrical content. The Nerd came first while the Critic came second, so it looked like there could only be one. Their duel encapsulated the entire cosmos, so powerful was their hatred for each other that people instantly evaporated as if they were caught in a nuclear detonation when the two stared at each other. It could be said that if they did not become begrudging allies, then the entire universe would fear for its existence daily. Or maybe it was an entire bit to make fans happy (who knows). The Nerd has shown up in his counterpart's videos more than a few times to give his piece on a subject. Despite his title, the Angry Video Game Nerd is equally if not more of a film buff than the Nostalgia Critic and thus, can confidently add his opinion to his videos. On the other hand, the Nostalgia Critic does not share the same knowledge of video games, retro or otherwise, to explain why the Nostalgia Critic does not show up in AVGN videos. He likes not thinking too hard when playing video games, as he would admit.
Nostalgia Critic: I am still terrified of Bébé's Kids game.
Angry Video Game Nerd: Because it was complete dogshit?
Nostalgia Critic: Because the video was complete dogshit.
- Having grown up around The '80s where many pop culture icons were born. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Transformers, Masters of the Universe are things they know in their hearts and as a result, centered their earlier reviews around that decade and The '90s, then going beyond the Turn of the Millennium. Their followers were initially peeved for them expanding their horizons though everyone got over it eventually. AVGN and the Nostalgia Critic have also loosened their rage over the years and something really has to tilt them or they have to force it out to be as angry as they were beforehand. They are getting older after all, with the Nerd having kids while the Critic decided to shave his hairline. Their criticisms and style also evolved over time, making them question sometimes if their age impedes connecting with something "the youths" enjoy that they cannot. Better that than bluster about how terrible new media is to farm views from manipulated outrage.
- In terms of their power levels, the Angry Video Game Nerd and Nostalgia Critic have some strangely high feats. Both have fought against otherworldly entities from aliens, demons, and the United States federal government. What is easily the height of the Nostalgia Critic's power was his merging with the Plot Hole, an entity that would swallow all media. However, the Nostalgia Critic would not enjoy that power as he was trapped doing the web show Demo Reel where he was reviewing artsy movies without the Nostalgia Critic persona. He got barfed out and the Plot Hole got better. Meanwhile, the Angry Video Game Nerd has a physical fight with Bugs Bunny, Jason Voorhees, and the literal Devil himself. Probably his greatest accomplishment was directly taking down the Cyber-Mutant Death God Death Mwauthzyx who just by turning the satellite on his head in 360 degrees will have The Multiverse collapse. The Nerd did not do that in the remaster though the feat still stands. [[Internet reviewer power leveling is one hell of a task.]]
- Due to their shared extensive knowledge of films, both reviewers have some good relationships with those from the industry in the Pantheon. Gene Siskel and Roger Ebert have been and always will be a major influence for criticism, so they have to give the two men GIGANTIC respect for letting them exist as they are now. Not even the older men giving thumbs-downs on their own movies can shake that respect away. Even directors who made less than stellar products earn their respect like Ed Wood (who is iffy on that sentiment) for the passion they carry into their works. Speaking on animation, AVGN and the Nostalgia Critic cannot help themselves by praising Disney's classic works until their deathbed. Their love does not stop Disney as a corporation from grabbing the nearest bazooka to fire copyright claims, something the Nostalgia Critic is more peeved by. At least Don Bluth is more personable to interact with.
- Their relationship with Linkara is strange. Of course, Linkara has always been one of the Critic's collaborators for a long time but like everybody else, could only take so much annoyance until he just shuts out the Nostalgia Critic to do his own thing. The Angry Video Game Nerd has interacted with Linkara seldomly, notably having a debate that ended up having AVGN, a giant Tokusatsu fan, get into that franchise. If Linkara were to ever talk to either of the two again, it would probably be a rather heated and awkward video if that were the case.
- Speaking of the literal devil, Satan himself has had two interactions with the two reviewers in different forms. The Nerd fought the devil who possessed Super Mario Bros. 3 and had to fight his electronics overtaken by Satan. Also, a floating Jesus head was there. The devil took control of a Teddy Ruxpin doll and threatened the Critic at gunpoint. He maybe shot the Critic once when he begged to be saved. If Satan comes, then the Nerd will come in with every weapon imaginable to deal with him. The Critic may be entirely incapacitated if Satan possesses Teddy Ruxpin again.
- When it comes to the Nothing, neither wants to deal with an entity that kills their creativity. Making videos with a team is already enough pressure though coming up with nothing is an even worse scenario for them. The two even armed themselves, going after the Nothing in its domain, ready to blast it with their own weaponry. Then the Nothing left to go to a tournament. It just left the two men confused about what to do before sheepishly leaving. They wasted $410 dollars to get there, bumming them out greatly.
Angry Video Game Nerd: We wasted hundreds of FUCKING dollars for being late?!
Nostalgia Critic: Quick! We need financial help. Come to us, our glorious Raid: Shadow Legends sponsorship!
The mobile game of the year flies down from the sky, picking the two by its beak and flies into the sunset.
- Considering their powers, Lord Vyce has been more than threatened by the Nerd and the Critic. He views them just as dangerous as Linkara if not worse judging by their feats, resolving to control them as best he could. Granted, he is stuck in an entirely different plane of existence at the moment to be unable to deal with them, as Lord Vyce needs to take care of the enemies that await him first. By then, he would deal with the Angry Video Game Nerd and the Nostalgia Critic alongside anybody who gets in his way.
- Exclusive to the Angry Video Game Nerd:
- So many entities show up to simply mess with the Angry Video Game Nerd just for the fact he is reviewing something related to them. Pepsiman, R.O.B., Jason Voorhees, Freddy Krueger, and who can forget Bugs fucking Bunny came to AVGN to try to beat the crap out of him. It is due to the Angry Video Game Nerd finding their game completely donkey horseshit (developed by LJN Toys). It is interesting in the Pantheon that so many who tussled with the Nerd remember their encounters with him and all want him equally dead. No video game of theirs will be called diarrhea feces. The Nerd would tell them all to bring it, as he will not back down from his opinion that their games are shitty games that suck ass. It was interesting to see Bugs Bunny lead an army to defeat the Nerd once and for all. Too bad the army was wiped out by the communist-hating Chin who got told that since the Nerd's enemies had healthcare, they were communists. Nobody has the heart to tell Chin the truth.
- While the Nerd may be known for his negative views, there are more than a few times that he comes out of a game with positive impressions. He will review something like Earthbound and The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask and despite his gripes, he will come out with positive impressions. He can even find joy in bad games such as Big Rigs: Over the Road Racing and Hong Kong '97. The Nerd cannot fault characters for having bad games since why should he blame characters for something programmers created? He can fight Krueger any day for his criticisms, though in the Nerd's defense, his foes usually came after him first.
- When it comes to the amount of crap that the E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial game put him through, especially when he refused to review it for so long. However, he does not consider the game the worst ever even on its own console. It is not a good game in the slightest, and it somehow got saddled with a shitload of baggage from publishers and the overall video game economic scene than an actual indicator of its low quality. He did not expect some sickos to have the audacity to create EeTee 2 or the fact that the infamous video game is a map to Area 51. After that grand adventure, the Nerd has a soft attachment to the alien since his friend looks just like E.T. Also maybe the film the game is based on is still a classic, no matter how bad the game was. He plays the shitty games that suck ass, do not have properties that the game is based on be called ass.
- The Angry Video Game Nerd is a noted observer of Scott the Woz's antics and has narrated that the younger man is completely off his rocker for Nintendo games. It makes the Nerd almost want to give the Nintendo part of his own title and hand it to Scott but he literally could not. That couldn't fit into the Scott "Will Eventually Take a Look at the First Mega Man" Daniel Wozniak (working title) gravestone. The Nerd will at least try to take Scott's advice to start throwing around curses to heart in case he wavers on that front.
Angry Video Game Nerd: No age restriction is going to stop me calling out this fucking horseshit!
- Being an enjoyer of Castlevania from when it first graced the gaming landscape, the Nerd had his series touch the vampire-slaying games ever since he famously dunked on Castlevania II: Simon's Quest all those years ago. Not that he loves the franchise less after playing that less-than-stellar game for him, but the Nerd would say he likes the standard side-scrolling games than the non-linear adventures. Not that he despises the new style but since he grew up with the older linear style, it just appeals to him more. Simon Belmont will always be a hero in his heart.
- Since so many people could invade his home at any time, instead of taking a Nord VPN sponsor to help with his security, he asked help from security manager head Kevin McCallister whose games sucked ass but he likes his movies. Looking at Kevin, AVGN said he looked like Macaulay Culkin, his favorite pizza delivery person, of all people. When Kevin said that is the person who acted him in the Oscar-award winning masterpiece of a Kevin McCallister duology (we do not talk about the other Kevin), the Nerd put his hands on his face and screamed.
Angry Video Game Nerd: You’re the… the.. Mu... Mu... MuCallister!
- AVGN may not even be a normal human in the slightest, to the surprise of nobody. However, the existence of Board James brings several theories. It is said the Nerd shares the same identity with Board James, a psychopath who has a love for board games, yet the two obviously remain distinct. This gets muddy when Board James attempts a Split-Personality Takeover on AVGN but is also considered a reincarnation of the Hangman Killer. Many would chalk this up to Board James being an Alternate Self to the Nerd, though that makes it feel too easy of an answer. Perhaps the Nerd and Board James are separated aspects of the same person: James D. Rolfe. And that their entire existence embodies the different aspects of James D. Rolfe's interests in their most extreme ends. There is no true answer to this conundrum, though it is a curious aspect of the Nerd’s existence.
- Exclusive to the Nostalgia Critic:
- Never ask the Critic if he should show up in a game show again. Brad Jones was the host and the Critic would appear at the end as a final boss for the contestants to go against. Practically what everybody remembers from when the Nostalgia Critic came on was him wishing a [insert celebrity here] did [something contestant said] and also pissed at contestant Ed for derailing the game show. Maybe the police hunting down the Critic for being a suspect in Ed's murder cut the show short. It brings to question how much repeatable material the Critic has at his disposal, though that is not questioned thanks to the awkward stare the Critic gives whenever he jabs at something. No wonder the Pantheon thought he murdered Ed until his indictment.
Nostalgia Critic: This is like a sermon in Tom Cruise's house.
Gex the Gecko: This is like a laua in Mel Blanc's house.
- It is a decent amount of characters who inadvertently cause the Critic to review terrible products. They are exaggerated embodiments of everything the Critics find in their products, even if they like said people. Everybody is pretty sure Michael Bay does not lead a cult of "meninists" to prove their masculinity. Most creative bankrupt decisions from entertainment corporations are apparently represented by the same two Hollywood analysts where one is probably the guise of the almighty Black Willy Wonka. Now the Critic is paranoid that the proper Willy Wonka is Black Willy Wonka in disguise, as the Critic does not want to face the man after the Ghostbusters (2016) review spiraled out of control when he thought it was average.
- The Nostalgia Critic has been enemies with General Zodd for a long time. Though suspiciously, Zodd now comes with two Ds. This Zodd is much more manageable supposedly due to his loss of power after Superman II, though is persistent enough to hound the Critic at various points, all with the intent of doing... something evil. Zodd says that the Critic will meet his fate one day, at his hand or another's. Of course, the Nostalgia Critic replied to the threat in the most awesome way he could. Point and cry, then clap rapidly at an incomprehensible speed. Not even Zodd could reply to that.
- The Nostalgia Critic is perhaps one of the few people who makes the Joker break out into a livid rage. This is due to the Critic dumping a guy named Melvin Melvin, who repeatedly called himself the Joker’s brother. The Joker does not know who this gremlin is, and even when chopping Melvin Melvin to pieces and sending him across the country with anthrax, the Critic always dropped Melvin Melvin off at Joker’s hideouts as if he were a divorced parent leaving their kids to their former spouse. The Nostalgia Critic thought that Melvin Melvin was a gag that had existed far enough, so he decided to make it someone else’s problem. He did the same with a pile of Batman-themed credit cards he sent to Batman who wisely put his bank details into the shredder, unlike the Joker.
- When gangs terrorized the streets of Paris, the Critic was there to fight against them. Being an American, the Nostalgia Critic’s weapon throughout that ordeal was his gun where he started blasting everything in his path. His weapon may be simple, though the Critic is known to have accurately shot so many people in the head beforehand, including the viewer who does not skip his intro. Being in France was an outright Nerf on his existence, as his gunshots do not instantly destroy anybody in his oath. The Critic admits the FBI may be onto him for bringing a loaded weapon on the plane.
- Who Nostalgia Critic has a love-hate relationship with Stephen King of all people, finding some of his story adaptations and tearing King’s writing apart in his “Stephen King Time” that somehow still has the same intro until the end of time. The Nostalgia Critic is aware of how talented King is, enough to say there are just as many good adaptations of his work out there. Although found potentially an equal amount of stories King wrote that the Critic found too bizarre for their own good. He even reviewed that one movie King directed where he was on drugs the entire production and got one poor cameraman blind. Stephen King would welcome the Nostalgia Critic like any other critic of his work… though he’s still famous and rich at the end of the day. Some “eggnog teethed” critic isn’t hurting him that much.
- Being a movie critic, the Nostalgia Critic is known for some wacky opinions as all critics have. The Nerd may have some dissenting opinions though the Critic is more eviscerated since AVGN mostly covers poorly designed things from ages ago. Some of the more infamous Nostalgia Critic beliefs are misery is the basis for comedy, Hercules looking like Las Vegas has no basis to it, the The Matrix is a bad movie, Pokémon should burn in a fire, The Dark Knight ran for too long (when To Boldly Flee ran for three hours). A defense is hard when the Nostalgia Critic made entire musicals just to say he does not get Moulin Rouge! and The Wall. To be fair, the Nostalgia Critic tells people should not parrot his opinions as their own like internet bottomfeeders. That still does not make a good chunk of people okay with his opinions, which the Critic notes is just an effect of The Internet he guesses.
Malcolm: Misery is the basis of comedy? Wait, is that why you keep me around?
Nostalgia Critic: Go back to the closet, Malcolm.
