Trope Pantheons Discussion

Go To

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

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

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

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

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

    Templates 
Template for adding a new deity:

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

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

Template for Dominions profiles:

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

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

Template for Treasure profiles:

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

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

  • Born into a poor family in 1880s England with an abusive patriarch named Dario Brando, Dio lived a harsh and miserable life until, in his father’s dying will which was furthered by his poisoning said father, Dio was sent to be adopted by the Joestar Family where he made it a mission to wipe out the family and claim their estate and inheritance for himself. A petty, capricious jerk, Dio would establish a harsh enmity with his new brother, Jonathan, almost always proving himself superior, but once beaten in a fair match, he would discreetly incinerate the family dog, Danny, to prove himself an utterly malicious man. Over time, Dio concocts a plan to poison his adopted father, George, but also discover a stone mask that transforms people into a vampire upon wearing and spilling blood over it. When Jonathan uncovered his plan and a failed attempt to justify his actions, Dio chose to discard his humanity and vampirize himself with the mask, later killing George, setting the Joestar mansion ablaze, and battling Jonathan before being defeated. Retreating to a gloomy castle to build up his strength, Dio would create new vampires and manipulate events from behind the scenes with the goal to Take Over the World, only to be defeated by a Hamon-trained Jonathan once more. Surviving as a disembodied head, Dio would then rely on his henchmen to stealthily invade and ambush Jonathan on his honeymoon trip with his wife Erina. Taking no chances, Dio fatally wounded his brother, but even then failed to reach his goals as Jonathan defeated his subordinates and told Erina to take a surviving baby and escape. Despite their years-long enmity, Jonathan would choose to cradle Dio’s head with a sense of compassion before he died peacefully. Dio’s attempts to persuade his brother of immortality would fall on deaf ears as he and his now-dead foster brother would eventually be taken down underwater…
    • …yet he would persist with a driving will to live and see through his plans for world domination. Although it took a century, Dio would manage to make it to the surface, albeit with the accidental aid of a salvage crew. Reattaching his head with Jonathan’s body, he would resume his ambitions, eventually striking a friendship with a priest named Enrico Pucci, gaining a Stand Arrow and piercing himself with it to gain an unfathomably powerful stand known as The World, setting the stage for a master plan he called Made in Heaven where he would become a god-like entity and remove the suffering and trauma of others to ensure a just and peaceful world, or so he claims. He also set his sights on taking revenge on the Joestars, setting up a base of operations in Egypt and assembling a loyal legion of Stand users to ambush and attack the current Joestar descendants, Jotaro Kujo and Joseph Joestar, who also assembled a small gang of Stand users to travel from Japan to Egypt to stop the vampire’s plans and save Jotaro’s mother, Holly, from a fatal disease stemmed from Dio’s power. Even during the final battle, Dio would prove too powerful for anyone to directly take on and would be responsible for the deaths of half of Jotaro’s gang in some way, but in the end, his arrogance and hubris proved his ultimate downfall; Dio would underestimate Jotaro too many times before the latter would outwit and eventually overcome the former, with their final blows finally killing the sociopathic vampire. Although his plans and influence would persist thanks to Pucci’s desire to complete Made in Heaven and avenge his friend years later, he, too, would meet his end despite almost achieving his goals, which then permanently ended Dio’s plans in complete failure.
  • The Pantheon had caught wind of Dio's plans and ambitions even before his Ascension, yet most still remained wary when the vampire managed to find his way to ascend into the divine realms. His entry made him elated in several ways, namely that he was now a recognized god and was more than happy to gloat about this. The second was that not only could he continue with his pursuit for Made in Heaven, but the nature of the Pantheon meant that there were more ways to gain power and allies. The third, of course, was another chance to continue his feud and revenge against the Joestars for daring to interfere with his ambitions and for killing him. With all that is established, Dio is content about his position in the Pantheon and has taken a few steps further with his plans, now setting up a few new bases beyond just his home domain and scouring out whoever is either desperate, evil, or seeking more power, knowing that those are the sorts of figures Dio would easily be able to entice to his side. He's also rather happy to see Enrico in the Pantheon too, with the two of them still maintaining close contact and the latter doing his best to check and make sure Dio's overwhelming ego doesn't overtake him like the previous times. Of course, the vampire is more than eager to instill a new reign with himself as their god and will gladly bring the Pantheon trembling to its knees in doing so.
  • Dio is a number of things, but there's one that describes him best; a vaingloriously proud card-carrying asshole who has no qualms about humiliating others to make himself feel good and revel in others' misery. With no shame and remorse, Dio is best described as plain evil by everyone he comes across, and yet, he's a well-educated and charismatic man whose affinity to offer good advice and self-esteem can somehow win the affection and loyalty of many, even if he makes it clear they're just stepping stones for his grand ambition. All of this, plus his vampiric physiology that grants him superhuman physique and healing as well as draining blood through his fingers are what make Dio such a fearsome menace to anyone who is well aware of his depravity. And this is without his other abilities like manipulating and controlling ice, shooting hyper-concentrated energy beams that can rip through buildings, and of course, his Stand known as The World, a spiritual being tied to his life force that instinctually protects Dio and is a tough, lightning-fast brawler able to attack and decimate anything in mere seconds. Most terrifying of all, The World has the ability to suddenly stop time, rendering everything sans Dio and his Stand frozen, immobile, and helpless, allowing the vampire free reign. Even worse, Dio's nature as a vampire means The World can grow even stronger than it already is, solidifying his position as the most dreaded foe the Joestars and their allies have faced. And with the Pantheon granting him that second opportunity, most are dreading just how powerful Dio and The World could potentially become.
  • As soon as Dio made his ascension, one of the first things he did was to find out whether the Joestars were also in the Pantheon. To his delight, they were, as this means he could comfortably set his sights on taking revenge on the very family that would dare to oppose his ambitions for dominance, especially towards Jotaro for killing him. Naturally, the Joestars were all up in arms about preparing themselves against him. The sheer number of family members didn't deter Dio one bit, only merely excited to see that he'd be getting to kill more than two Joestars at once, but even so, he does admit that some of them had promising abilities and skills with their Stands and muses on whether he could find a way to convince them to his side. Things are different with Jonathan, the only JoJo he did actually kill as despite their ferocious enmity, Jonathan still shows brotherly love for him, and Dio himself admits that Jonathan is the one being he truly considers his peer. The two will battle on occasion, with Dio even willing to see their "sport" settled as gentlemanly as possible, at least for a person such as himself. Such courtesy, however, is not mutual for the rest of the Joestars and especially for Jotaro, whom Dio promises to torture, mutilate, and murder as brutally as possible and even take it out on his daughter, Jolyne, in his desire to make revenge as sweet as possible.
    • Among the Joestars, Giorno Giovanna seemed the most peculiar one to him as, sure enough, he's Dio's biological son… in Jonathan Joestar's body, no less. Unlike distaste and hatred, Dio was surprisingly reserved towards Giorno and even tried to learn a bit more about him, only to conclude that, with his position as a mafia don and possessing the legendary Gold Experience Requiem, Dio felt nothing but pride and admiration for his son. Although Giorno was understandably wary about his father, the two somehow ended up having a civil conversation and even bonded with their struggles of being raised in an abusive household, that is until the two fought against each other anyway, with Giorno claiming he would never turn out like his old man did, though Dio doesn't care, feeling that if fighting is the best way to bond with his offspring, then he may as well. Coming from Dio, this is a surprising level of care and affection from him, though he would prefer to be reminded of it too much and claims that his appreciation for his son is mainly because he's powerful and assertive, which lines up with his belief of the strong dominating the weak. He also has some level of pity for Diego Brando, an alternate version of him that, despite his Dario being worse, managed to come out mentally more well-adjusted than Dio did. Though Dio would rather want Diego to come to his side in the hopes of raising him to be just like him, the younger Brando refuses, not wanting his life and actions to be determined and controlled by an upcoming dictator who may as well be worse than Funny Valentine due to his overblown ego and sadism. The older Brando simply resigned himself in disappointment in seeing Diego not wanting to align to his side.
  • One of Dio's most dangerous abilities is a naturally inherent one since his earliest days; his charisma and ability to inspire loyalty and servitude to anyone he comes across and to ensure said loyalty is unshakeable. Of course, he does that in several ways like granting them power, giving them good positions and a promise to fulfill whatever dreams and desires they want to achieve. Technically, he's not wrong about the latter, given the end goal of Made in Heaven ensuring everybody is happy and free of restraints and despondency, so long as he's in power. This is how he was able to convince Jack the Ripper into his services by turning him into a vampire for more power and though the world’s most infamous Serial Killer is in the Pantheon, it seems that he’s not the same Jack that Dio had met. Beyond that, his followers are usually fanatical and devoted to Dio’s cause and would rather die than let him down, with Vanilla Ice being a special case, being glad to be under his master’s servitude once more. But Dio’s greatest ally isn’t just a devotee to his cause, but a genuine friend; Enrico Pucci personally owes a lot to Dio in mentoring and looking after him during a low point in his life and his own enmity against the Joestars was driven by a desire to avenge his master. Dio was impressed by the lengths Pucci went through and even if he failed to bring the vampire’s ambition true, the fact that Pucci ‘’almost’’ did that as well as kill Jotaro and Jolyne in the midst of it was enough to impress him. Dio made sure to tell Pucci that he nearly succeeded where he failed and hence, their partnership will continue, with Pucci being more than willing to follow through on Dio’s ambition in the Pantheon, truly believing that his way will be the one to bring everlasting peace and bliss to everyone.
  • Dio’s charisma is so alluring that it even has the capability to sway potential heroes into his servitude and the way he can promise and falsely sympathize with others with gifts and relating to them makes it all the more frightening. And this is despite the fact that Dio is unashamedly open about being evil and most of the Pantheon knows about that, especially considering that most heroes justifiably oppose him for his grand list of crimes. With other villains, Dio’s pretentious affability depends; some like Nobuyuki Sugou find him a kindred spirit thanks to their outwardly positive reputation, desire to be petty jerks for the sake of it, willingness to play dirty for their ends, and oddly enough, having similar voices, hence the two of them ended up seeing each other as potential partners to fulfill each other’s ambitions. Dio himself is impressed by the amount of investment Sugou has placed in his game, ALFheim Online, both in ambition, control, and cruelty, though he thinks that Sugou should toughen up and shed his cowardice before he could consider the vile Game Master to actively work with him in battles. He's also struck a strange friendship with Mercurius as Dio's charisma and interest in philosophy and ethics remind the former of his Only Friend, Reinhard. The two sometimes like to just talk to each other, with Dio very much enjoying his time with Mercurius as their conversations feel rather engaging, concise, and interesting, even in terms of raw power, Mercurius sees Dio as an equal, especially when the latter is in his Heavenly Ascended state, so the two are open to the idea of working with one another for a mutual goal if they ever have time. Others like Lord Voldemort were not so positive; the dark lord may try to be impressionable, but somehow, he has a harder time managing his overblown ego than Dio does, and the fact that Dio’s vampirism means he’s immortal pisses Voldemort off because Dio gets to keep his handsome looks. That said, the Dark Lord boasts that he can very easily kill Dio with one hit from his Killing Curse, though the vampire believes that if an upcoming tyrant couldn’t take over a high school, then he isn’t worth allying himself with, not to mention Voldemort makes it clear that he wants to be seen as the superior being, a feeling that Dio took as an affront to his standing; he himself should be the leading man as he has, in his own words, “transcended humanity” while Voldemort’s prattle on wizard supremacy means little if he’s accomplished so little during his war against Hogwarts.
  • For fairly obvious reasons, Dio is associated with the many vampires that reside in the Pantheon and has visited his kind's namesake Hall partly to admire what his race is capable of and to fetch and recruit new followers under his bidding. That said, he is a bit surprised to see that while vampires to live up to their infamy as bloodthirsty monsters, there are just as many who are benevolent and are even dedicated protectors of Humanity, a notion that disgusted Dio, feeling that vampires should take pride in their newfound powers and dominate others rather than protecting the weak and helpless. In association with his face, Dio would come face-to-face with the Pillar Men, predecessors of the vampires of his world and the creators of the Stone Mask that allowed Dio's conversion in the first place. Despite their similar ambitions, he and Kars quickly established a rivalry as while both are willing to admit their adversary is powerful, they're also a threat against the plans and goals, not to mention both have proclamations about themselves being the pinnacle of perfection. To Kars' dismay, Dio very much desires the Red Stone of Aja, figuring that utilizing it during dawn could allow him to finally overcome his vampiric limitations and gain even more power, enough to match a literal god, and this as furthered the two's rivalry, with Kars being very adamant about his position as the Ultimate lifeform not being threatened by an overly ambitious vampire. The other Pillar Men are more traditional in their enmity against Dio as being a foe to Kars naturally means opposition, in addition to Wammu being disgusted by the sheer cruelty and condescension Dio displays to nearly anyone he encounters. As for Dio, he has some respect for the Pillar Men's incredible physical prowess and abilities, though he considers it a shame to oppose and kill them, feeling that they have the capability to be very effective subordinates if possible.
    • Among the more malicious vampires, Dio is somewhat disappointed that most don't seem to exhibit much in the way of ambitions beyond just wanting to hunt and prey on humans for the sake of it. While he has some respect for Marlowe Roderick for his ferocity and he, in turn, doesn't mind the stronger vampire and sees him as someone to rely on for more territories, Dio feels that Marlowe stagnates himself too much from thinking bigger and while both do work together, there is a level of strain, albeit on the former's end. And on the subject of ambition, there's the Von Carsteins; Vlad sees Dio as too much of a threat to his own plans and finds his falsified politeness too rancid to deal with and reminds Vlad of his traitorous son, Mannfred. Speaking of, while Mannfred's greater ambitions to be seen as a deity caused him to become rivals with Dio, the latter still admits he can respect the former for his tenacity and being quite forward-thinking, though he's not impressed by how craven Mannfred could be when things don't go in his favor. Vlad's other son, Konrad, proved to be a useful ally despite being the least ambitious of the Von Carsteins, as Dio found his madness and insanity to be amusing and he's rather intrigued by the level of violence and bloodshed Konrad is willing to unleash. In turn, Konrad sees Dio as someone to aspire to look up to, gladly establishing a working relationship with Dio as a way to expand on his own territories and kill more. To Dio, Konrad is a useful muscle who could serve as pest control for whatever threats he personally doesn't want to get involved with, and is happy to learn that Konrad is inspired by him to become stronger as this vindicates Dio's belief of the strong being the ones who deserve domination, though he is careful about looking after Konrad's madness as he wants to ensure the Von Carstein's loyalty and Dio's influence remains strong.
    • Dio was rather perplexed to see that there were just as many "good" and "neutral" vampires as there were evil ones, but rather than immediately brand them as enemies, he opted to instead try his luck on pulling them into his side with honeyed promises and positions of authority and power as a way to keep them safe. Needless to say, this didn't work out as expected, to Dio's annoyance, though he was at least satisfied about terrifying them with just his power and his charm. Most vampires kept their distance from Dio, with very few like Arcueid Brunestud, Dimitri Maximoff, and the Chosen Revenants being willing to duel against him if mainly because they either have someone or their world to protect and the other vampires admit that Dio just terrifies them too much. That, and they're disgusted by the pettiness and spite he exudes with some of his acts, calling him particularly vile even in comparison to other vampires. Unfortunately, these comments only serve to further flatter Dio, who takes it in stride as an example of how he's superior to others of his kind. On the subject of his creation, he's personally surprised to see that vampires could be created by scientific experimentation as well, as shown with Eric Brooks and Kirk Langstrom, who were otherwise decent people who were straddled with the burdens of vampire physiology. They, too, were not in favor of Dio's ambitions, with Eric citing his ambitions as an unholy plague and Kirk stating that Dio's plans remind him of his former friend, Will Magnus, only without anything resembling a positive affection and his goals being less about removing free-will and more to insert himself as a god. Not that the Dio himself cares about their concerns all that much, and simply sees them as "lesser vampires" due to their desire to fight for humanity rather than embracing their newfound nature.
    • Dracula being the recognized "king of vampires" according to most would naturally catch Dio's attention, but what would intrigue him further was that there were several vampires with that name. There was also Alucard who could either mean a Dracula using an alias or Dracula's son. Either way, Dio only found the original one to be open for an alliance as the Count would be eager in the possibility of aiding Dio in taking over the world, though only so long as Dracula himself could be given more hunting grounds to spread his influence. With the other versions of Dracula, the owner of Hotel Transylvania was not happy to learn about Dio and his wretched intentions, and he and his daughter Mavis have made it clear they would always oppose Dio for giving vampires a bad name. The Lord of Castlevania recognized Dio as an equal in strength and regality, but personally did not subscribe to his idea of Heaven and made it clear that he was in no mood for an alliance, not to mention that the Lord of Castlevania is a broken Straw Nihilist who loathes humanity enough that he would rather destroy it and even let himself starve, a roadblock to Dio's "Heaven". One iteration of Alucard, the No Life King, once tracked Dio down in Victorian London where he was building a cult of followers and a base of operations, with the intent to put down the golden vampire and end his bloody conquest, despising Dio for representing everything Alucard hated about vampires. Seeing that Alucard "interrupted his dinner", Dio betted him to kill him, and after a grueling and vicious fight, Dio killed Alucard by wasting away his many souls and ripping the vampire king to pieces, whilst claiming himself a god. Since then, Alucard has been itching for a payback, but although Alucard was strong, Dio was more disappointed, not seeing Alucard as worth his attention after their fight. Needless to say, Dio managing the best one of the strongest vampires in the Pantheon and proving himself superior in nearly every way struck fear and terror into the hearts of many, be it vampire hunters and other vampires, an achievement that Dio is more than glad to spread.
  • His desire to conquer the world may be a fairly standard, but Dio doesn't aim for dystopia or suffering, but rather to give everyone happiness and erase their suffering. This is the narrative he sold to Pucci and he genuinely believes it and once he did attain the powers of God as "Heaven Ascended Dio", he really did do just that… while the world had to bow down to him as their eternal god and savior. Naturally, Dio saw a lot of villains with similar goals, but with different outcomes; at most, most of these like Melkor and Nekron were more interested in destroying everything out of some bloodhungry desire and while they see Dio as a useful asset and the former has a mutual sense of sadism, the vampire doesn't feel that an alliance is going to happen soon because of their differing outcomes. Others like Darkseid, Sauron, Bowser, Ganondorf, and Frieza are more in lines with conquest and Dio could likely see himself being aligned with their ambitions, but only so long as they end up benefiting his ends; Dio wants an eternal paradise where he is the main center of attention and while he is alright with fear, total dystopia is something he finds unfitting for someone like him, hence he feels that Darkseid isn't the most ideal alliance for him, though the Anti-Life Equation did catch his interest, seeing it as an alternate direction to assert his ambition to carve out his "Heaven". The God of Apokolips commends Dio's power, intelligence, and malevolence, though he does feel that his Heaven Ascended state might be a potential thorn to deal with due to Dio's open admittance on not wanting to ally with the Lord of Tyranny. Similarly, Sauron and Ganon merely see Dio as a rival to their ambitions as they, too, crave ultimate power for themselves, Frieza sees him as a model figure in the face of evilness though would rather have him as a subordinate, and Bowser is not up with Dio's ideas of "Heaven", feeling that his plan seems boring and he's not giving himself up to feel happy and accepting about always being bested by Mario, and neither would he accept Dio's promises of power if it means defeating his plumber nemesis.
  • Dio's decision to transform himself into a vampire and immediately seeing it as an evolutionary step from his former status as a human does make him opposed and condemned by many who otherwise either champion humanity or prefer to see their kind work in unison with others. While Dio doesn't have a problem working with "lesser" humans and weaker Stand users, this is mostly based on whether they could appease his entertainment and his need for worship. Similar to his nature and transformation into a vampire is an object only known as a Behelit, which transforms its owner into a demonic being known as an apostle, though said a user could only activate a behelit if they're at their life's lowest point and must sacrifice the life and soul of a loved one to become an apostle. One such apostle, Griffith of the Godhand, is very much like Dio; ambitious, charming, seemingly awe-inspiring, determined, and commanding a presence of great power and authority, yet very much willing to sacrifice anybody shamelessly if it means ascending to their desires. Dio found Griffith's resilience to be noteworthy and noted their similarities, yet the vampire felt that Femto personally wasn't in the mood to share spoils with hardly anyone, being a massive Control Freak who desperately needed to own anything he conquered and that's where Dio's problem was raised; Griffith cannot stop conquering other lands, even if he's already achieved his dream of having a kingdom. While he still views Griffith as a cut above humanity, Dio sees him as a rival as he feels that Griffith might desire "Heaven" to further validate his dream, and the vampire similarly feels entitled to it, believing that only he and Pucci are truly capable of bringing the Pantheon pace by letting everyone know of their predestined fates and eliminating doubt and suffering. Dio's own desire to transcend and disregard his former race also brings to mind Ragyo Kiryuin, a woman who was willing to harvest and infuse Life Fibers within herself and to damn humanity to prove her own superiority. Although the two were very similar to one another in regards to their ambition, thirst for power, megalomania, and desire for violence for their entertainment, they couldn't stand each other either; Ragyo quickly saw Dio as a threat to her attempt at dominance while Dio was uncharacteristically disgusted in her disregard and spite for her daughters Ryuko and Satsuki. Dio wouldn't care much for the two girls, but he hates being reminded of his late father and Ragyo ended up ticking him off for just that. Also, Ragyo doesn't get to claim godhood first, Dio does and he's happy to show her who's the more fearsome fighter and figure in case they ever meet again.
    • Dio's study of Made in Heaven concludes with him seeing it as the ultimate Stand and the one capable of bringing eternal bliss and peace to everyone and was happy to learn that Pucci was able to achieve this and kill Jotaro and Jolyne, even if the plan was ultimately foiled. Bringing peace as the ultimate conclusion to your ambitions seems nice, but with Dio's superiority complex and need for worship, peace means everybody can be happy and content so long as they place their faith in a narcissistic sociopath. The oxymoronic concept of aiming for a good goal with evil means and desires is not too different from what Madara Uchiha initially envisioned for the Moon's Eye Plan, though in Madara's case, his aim for peace was to trap others in a dream-like state where they all got to live happy lives and their desires fulfilled, but had never really known that this was a cover for the victims' body and mind to wither away and become White Zetsus, courtesy of Kaguya Ōtsutsuki and Black Zetsu, hence Madara now seeking different means for peace in the Pantheon once he ascended. Similarly, Takuto Maruki sought to use his Persona, Azathoth to help others in achieving their heart's desire and replace reality with one that he personally envisioned before being stopped by the Phantom Thieves due to how destructive his powers were getting. Although Madara sees Dio as a rival as worshipping someone else is an idea he can't stand and quickly finds Dio's god-complex annoying in spite of acknowledging him as a good sport to fight against, Takuto condemns the vampire for having similar delusions and megalomania as Masayoshi Shido, not to mention feeling that even if he did have his powers with Azathoth, Takuto felt that giving Dio a fleeting feeling of achieving his desires would spell trouble for everyone regardless.
  • Next to his impressionable persona, The World is undoubtedly his greatest and most feared ability. The ability to stop time is already a devastating one, but surely it's limited by how many seconds one could allow that to happen. For Dio, his vampiric physiology allows him to evolve beyond that, hypothesizing that the longer he grows accustomed to Jonathan's body, The World would have its strength increased as well as the number of seconds to halt time elongated beyond a mere five seconds. It's why very few would dare to directly combat the vampire and Dio takes this in stride to further his belief that he is a god. Although Shulk and the Monado intrigue him due to the latter's capability of precognition and altering time in Shulk's perspective and he's clearly against Dio for being a depraved scumbag, he doesn't think Shulk is fully capable of taking him on, instead directing his interest on Zanza, the Monado's creator and a fellow being who ascended to godhood and having a compulsion to have everything under his control. This ended up creating conflict between the two as Zanza feels that Dio's plans for "Heaven" are an attack on his plans for control while Dio feels that a fellow god feels like competition to overthrow and he's not in favor of Zanza destroying worlds to create a new one to assert control over as this is just depleting whatever reverence and worship either of them could receive.
    • On the concept of time, Dio quickly took an interest in the idea of traveling to past and future points and the existence of Stands that are capable of this to some extent, such as Crimson King and Bites the Dust, further his curiosity. In fact, he's more elated that because he's a "patron" for the House of Time and Temporality, he can learn about the concept of time-traveling much quicker, though interestingly, one of the first thoughts he had about going back to the past is to go and kill his own father before he abused and overworked his mother to death, a strange display of affection for him. Of course, he doesn't want to change his past self into becoming different from him and he worries about the possibility of him becoming a good person because his mother's love and affection could potentially do that. He hasn't enacted such a plan yet, mainly because of concerns revolving around changing the past too much, even if Dio thinks toughening up his mother could probably do the trick. Regardless, the idea of him traveling back or ahead in time was met with opposition, particularly from the Pantheonic Time Police, who want to ensure that at least The World doesn't evolve to allow him that much range of power. Other time travelers like Homura Akemi find Dio's sadism and megalomania revolting and his philosophy being similar to Lucifer's makes her see Dio as a potential abuser of power and time if left unchecked while The Flash and Dahaka are committed to stopping Dio from using his time-stopping powers for his own ends as well as potentially finding a way to travel through the timestamp. Dio doesn't seem particularly incensed, but rather he enjoys the idea of having more enemies to contend with, hoping that he could learn and adapt from them long enough to further enhance and evolve The World.
  • When it comes to being an asshole on a personal and vindictive level, very few match Dio and outside of his powers and ambitions, everyone else not in his circle of followers hates Dio for how unpleasant of a person he is. After all, nothing says vile than incinerating your foster brother's pet dog just because said brother beat you in a fight and said the fight happened because Dio forcibly kissed Jonathan's love, Erina when she refused his advances. He hates dogs, and so does the Hall of Canines and whoever loves dogs. In the Pantheon, he had a habit of coming across and attacking and insulting whoever dares to either criticize or humiliate him in whatever way, though he's since been trying to rein his dickish tendencies in favor of gaining more followers and focusing on his ambitions. Even then, he took the time to find a friend with a similarly depraved and vile personality as him and that came in the form of the Reverse-Flash, Eobard Thawne. Aside from the two of them sharing similar powers revolving with time and wearing yellow garbs, they proved to have surprisingly civil conversations with one another, ranging from a few philosophical talks about time and some nostalgic pastime revisits about being utter jerks to whoever "slighted" them. Both figures quickly took to forming an alliance as they quickly found a figure to relate and depend on and Thawne is impressed by Dio's charisma to the extent that he might wish to try something similar, if mainly to mess around with others for the sake of it. One dreads the idea of them killing swathes of dogs and helping to erase people from the timestream solely to get a laugh, and Barry is outright enraged by the possibility of Dio and Thawne teaming up to aid in each others' vile endeavors.
  • While he is officially recognized as a god in the Pantheon, Dio is very much aware that this is more of a title representation and thus, still retains his ultimate goal of becoming a legitimate one, especially literal gods are also Pantheonic representatives and they just so happen to make for interesting conversations about the concept and impact of divinity in Dio's eyes. To everyone's horror, Dio very quickly realized that there are several ways to transcend his vampiric physiology and gain everlasting power and influence through various means, but to him, worship and reverence are what he wants, so absolute annihilation is not on the table for Dio, even if he enjoys killing for the sake of it. His desire for godhood could be compared to Light Yagami, who similarly used his power to inspire fear and control over the world. Despite being human, Dio personally found Light impressive enough after learning about his guile, intelligence, and the Death Note and would have gladly considered a conversation with him, but Light wasn't going to return that sentiment in kind, seeing Dio as an odious monster who deserves to die of his crimes, despite Dio pointing out that what Light is doing isn't exactly "justice". Not even writing the vampire's full name in the Death Note would work as Dio's physiology as a vampire bypasses the Death Note's power to kill him in some way, infuriating Light and simply humoring Dio, though the vampire is more disappointed in Light's actions as he feels the man is more than capable than just relying on a note and hoped to see Light on his side. Although both have delusions of godhood, Dio at least is aware of his limitations and tries to be approachable and commendable about his interests and whoever impresses him, even if his kindness is falsified, and he, too, sees Light as too impulsive and childish to deal with in spite of the latter's talents.
    • While figures like Sigmar Heldenhammer and Sheogorath do intrigue Dio due to their nature of having mortal and humble backgrounds before ascending to greatness and legitimate godhood, they don't cross paths with him often, though Sheogorath would rather mess with Dio while Sigmar would readily oppose him if they ever met. Madoka Kaname, on the other hand, is an interesting case study that Dio encountered during her days as an apotheosized Hope Bringer. Unlike most villains, Dio was intrigued by Madoka's might and the nature of her powers as well as the Soul Gems that empowered Magical Girls from Madoka's realm. That said, Madoka's gentle nature and her desire to help and aid others out of love what not what Dio appreciated. In a way, that did remind him of his mother, and while he did love her, he also feels that her kindness led to her becoming submissive and demure, which led to her being abused and worked to death by Dario. So Madoka reminding Dio of his mother ticked him off, to say the least, and Dio isn't exactly a fan of Madoka's belief in inspiring hope. Madoka, on her end, is more pitiful for Dio, believing that he may have turned out a better person were it not for his father, but still prefers to keep a distance upon learning and being rattled by the great evil he has done and is capable of. On another end, Zamasu despises Dio for simply being a vampire and for daring to try to claim the powers of godhood, even knowing of his tale of once becoming Heavenly Ascended Dio and trying to take over the multiverse, and while Dio finds the fallen Kai to be hysterically hypocritical and a threat to him despite their shared immorality, he keeps his distance from Zamasu, knowing that he isn't strong enough to take on the Kai just yet, though he's pretty eager about beating the pulp out of Zamasu once he does gain actual divinity.
  • Given the nature of the Pantheon, Dio would eventually discover that, in a metaphysical perspective, he is a fictional character in the eyes of one universe and although this didn't peeve him, he did admit that he would have attempted to conquer it had he held his powers as Dio Gone to Heaven. He's a bit surprised to see that his first name was inspired by Heavy Metal singer named Ronnie James Dio and that his last name is based on actor Marlon Brando. Not that Dio minds, but the fact that "Dio" means God in Italian made him a little ecstatic as, in a certain way, his name is God, though he wouldn't be surprised if the singer himself was in the Pantheon and disliked Dio for, well, being an evil vampire jerk. Not only that but he's even discovered that he's somehow a sensation for a strange digital phenomena known as memes. There were several jokes revolving around Dio, some flattering him, others mocking him, but Dio took it in stride. To an extent, he was worshipped, and that's what mattered to him, though he is a bit puzzled as to why he's so heavily associated with road rollers. He knows that he tried to use it against Jotaro in their Final Battle, but even so, it was a one-time thing and Dio felt that he'd be best known for having The World and for being a complete asshole, which he takes full pride in. Perhaps the real world may not be so bad for Dio, but he personally finds it too boring for his tastes, even if he finds some of the memes about him rather amusing and he'll take the time to humor himself with it.
"Most men's hearts are restrained by mortal, recoiling in fear from the fabulous fruits of evil. But some do not constrain themselves to the mortality and its tyranny."

So I didn't intend to have an theme of imposter Pokemon reworks but here we are

Ditto, Deity of Replicant Fighters (The Transform Pokémon, Metamon)

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/78c30035d7e89ce4c45bfbdb3b808c59.png
  • Note: Rework

  • Alignment: True Neutral
  • Gender: Genderless
  • Ability: Imposter
  • Moves: Transform
  • Portfolio: Starting as Normal-type, Jello Being, Starting with poor stats that it'll never use anyway, Black Bead Eyes, Ridiculously Cute Critter, Unstable Genetic Code, Turn Into The Opponent It's Facing To Fight Like Them, Highest Count Of Who It Can Breed With, implied Really Gets Around, Armored But Frail

  • Ditto is a curious Pokémon, as on its own it is quite weak. However its one move, Transform, lets it copy the opponent down to almost every detail. And come Gen V, it has gained a Hidden Ability; Imposter. So rather than waiting for a turn to pull off its move, it can just transform into the opponent instantly. This almost signature move has made Ditto a unique fighter, matching the powers and stats bar HP (and being stuck with at most 5 PP of each move) unless someone is hiding with under a Substitute or Illusion. Outside of battle Ditto is capable of reproducing with any Pokémon not in the Undiscovered egg group...or other Ditto. Figure that one out.
  • Ditto initially ascended within the Trope Pantheon under the trope of Extreme Omnisexual, however it was determined Ditto Fighter was more appropriate. After all, no-one knows what exactly happens in those Pokemon Daycare. While very good at its job, it isn't perfect and will sometimes make goofs like keeping the same face or not counting for size. The House of Commerce doesn't mind the former, though, as "Ditto face" plushies are pretty marketable and Ditto is welcome to have a piece of the pie. It also is best suited to copying Pokémon and makes more mistakes impersonating humans. And Ditto is still mortal; don't expect it to copy the power of eldritch abominations like Yog-Sothoth (in part it wouldn't know what to work with). Even power-houses it can copy have issues; it could use Transform on an unprepared Cell, but its static HP means it could never inherit his endurance.
  • Ditto is able to copy items and objects, but when copying complicated non-organic stuff it can get hard. For example, it is friends with Mega Man due to admiring his heroic spirit and ability to take and utilize his enemy's powers. But when he copied Mega Man while using the Metal Blade he remained pink, and his "Ditto Metal Blade" was more brittle and prone to missing. It tried to duplicate the T-1000 but failed miserably because except for his default it can't overcome its disguise. As for why the two even interacted? The T-1000 was intrigued and thought that capturing and experimenting on Ditto could be used to further his own capabilities. SKYNET doesn't want him to have this, but it did take notes; it wishes to take Ditto's DNA so it could make an organic T-800 with all the appearance-shifting of the T-X.
  • Ditto's partner within the Trope Pantheon is Garfield Logan, or Beast Boy. The young superhero is basically the green counterpart to Ditto in his power set, but limited to animals. Of course, there are a lot of animals to copy, and he has managed to transform into green versions of other Pokémon...not Ditto, though, so he can't stack transforming powers. Garfield's also a joker, and that vibes with Ditto's mischievous streak. Asides from having Beast Boy as a partner, Ditto is a close friend with Kirby, but also a rival. The two are pink, cute things capable of copying the enemy, but with different means. While they like to compete in copying others, they refuse to copy each other because it might cause some catastrophic chaos on variable scales... The Transform Pokémon sometimes competes in replicating powers with Kirby's friend Gooey, though it's not as active a rivalry.
  • Ditto likes to disguise itself as other characters as a prank. Some gods thought their friends were ascended into the Pantheon when in actuality, Ditto was pranking them. However, minor errors gave it away as it tries to transform out of memory, which makes it difficult to change into non-ascended beings. Some gods grew annoyed at Ditto impersonating friends that haven't ascended, while villains outright loathe it and hold a grudge. Ditto, however does have lines it will not cross, such as impersonating family members people outright miss and haven't seen in a long time, since there is no way anyone would find this funny. Though it holds an honorary position in the Hall of Impostors and Impersonations it is ironically somewhat spooked there since there are many nasty members there and it doesn't know who to trust.
  • Friendly with Mew, the only other Pokémon with the move Transform. Both are pink and playful beings, which has led many to believe there's a deeper relationship; even in shiny form they have the same coloration, their weight is the same, their stats are spread evenly and in Kanto you can even find it not so far from where Mewtwo came from. Nothing has ever been stated why they're similar, but the latter believes the common speculation that they are failed Mew clones valid. The Eevee line is another group of Pokémon that get along with Ditto, as they are both highly adaptable with Eevee's unstable DNA letting it evolve into all sorts of different types. Ditto has a cordial relationship with another mimic, Mimikyu, as well. The pink jello doesn't have the insecurity and tried to cheer her up that she shouldn't let her obsession with the Series Mascot define her.
  • Ditto tends to be friendly with most other Pokémon deities, except the more wicked villains...and Zoroark. Not in an "outrage" sense, it is just salty that Transform doesn't work when the Zorua line uses their Illusion ability. And Zoroark's partner, Loki, does admire Ditto's potential for mischief but when it comes to illusions he's superior to the fox. The two try to prove who is better at the mind games, with Zoroark making fun of the fact its pathetic without its gimmick. The blob will spit a pink loogie at the fox whenever it hears that. In order to overcome this flaw it has been training within the House of Shape. There are some interactions of note from both within and outside of the house
    • Goten and Trunks thought Ditto was cool and wondered if it could mimic their fused form, Gotenks. Ditto proved it could do just that, but instead of defusing after five or thirty minutes it would just lose its form and revert back to Ditto, not being able to Transform into anything for another thirty minutes. This established an important new rule; if transformed into a fused being, Ditto cannot defuse into copies of said fusion.
    • Dr Clef was curious if anomalous properties would be carried over to a non-anomalous mimic, so he let Ditto copy his form and took a photo. To his bemusement, the photo also couldn't get his face right, instead showing a Ditto face despite the actual transformation getting the appearance spot-on. The O5 Council hasn't given the word to test SCPs (even the non-dangerous ones) with Ditto yet, outside of SCP-1867. Lord Blackwood thought there was some sort of glitch when Ditto turned into a variable neon sea slug.
    • Aisling wanted to see if Ditto would also inherit her Morphic Resonance, and let it Transform into her. As Aisling Ditto could transform into both forms, however it had pink hair/fur meaning it kept its own resonance instead of copying hers.
    • While Ditto can Transform into Bruce Banner or his other forms, it still needs the same requirements to change into his different incarnations. As such, Ditto lacks the necessary anger to be all that strong a Hulk clone. And as Ditto retains the same personality regardless of transformation, it cannot become hive-minded like Ermac or lose itself as a werewolf like Remus Lupin.
    • Ditto wants to study under Ben in order to transform into his different aliens and perfect its skill set. It is unable to copy Alien X, and more importantly can't copy the Omnitrix as it is too sophisticated for its DNA to replicate. It, however, can copy just about every other alien so long as Ben has taken that alien's form to serve as a template.
  • It will also spit a pink loogie at those who call the House of Love and Affection a brothel. During its time as the deity of extreme omnisexuals it was treated kindly as a pet of sorts for the Lust halls and still has friends there. Panty and Makoto, for their own flaws, still have a soft spot for the blob. Of course, it is possible that Ditto breeding amounts to some sort of cloning instead of anything lewd, but it isn't going into details so the salacious rumors remain in play.
  • Ditto's reputation among the Pokemon Daycare has made it the target of some jokes, but it has stated it doesn't use Transform in that deceptive a way. Anyone who says otherwise will have Ditto transform into Cheems and BONK them. The memetic Shiba Inu was pissed by that as it regards Ditto as horny and should be bonked instead; impersonating him was pretty annoying. It hasn't any patience for Mystique due to her often cruel mind games of disguising herself as othersnote . Being from a relatively innocent franchise but also being the G-Rated version of a town bicycle, it is upset by rapists and other sex pests who have degenerate ideas for it. It once turned into a beautiful woman to lure Quagmire, only to transform into Peter Griffin and use Low Kick on him.
  • While the nastier side of lust isn't something Ditto likes to think about, it is OK with most jokes of the raunchier side. Issei Hyodo, god of Power Perversion Potential, muses that the ability to transform into anything is the reason so many Pokemon are happy to breed with it, and Panty imagines that the more narcissistc deities would see Ditto as a way to perform selfcest. Mata Hari muses that if she had Ditto's ability, she would be a truly perfect Femme Fatale Spy. Of course, Ditto in general would make an amazing spy should it seek out that job opportunity. Ms.Norman certainly proves (albeit with some genetic alterations) that even if the eyes are an issue, there are ways around it.
  • Ditto is wary of Shang Tsu, who can copy other people's forms by stealing their soul. If he were steal Ditto's soul, he would be bypass the requirement for his shapeshifting power. He also sometimes fancies himself as a Mad Scientist, so he would be interesting on capturing and making monster clones out of Ditto, having his own shapeshifting army. The 'mon itself is treated with wariness by the Crewmates as they are well-experienced with the threat of impersonation and are paranoid that Ditto is in league with the Imposters, or would otherwise psych them out in a way that would let the Imposter finish them off. The Pokémon was upset by this since it just wanted to have fun with them, and it isn't a fan of the Imposter. If being nullified by Zoroak's Illusion is any indication, it failing to transform would identify the Imposter...leaving the pink goo completely vulnerable.
  • Rimuru Tempest and Ditto are shown to like each other a lot, being both Blob Monsters who can use different abilities and attacks, though Ditto is limited by memory whereas Rimuru gains his power through assimilation, making him more powerful. Ditto tends to hang out with Rimuru as if he were a second trainer whenever Beast Boy is too busy, the former being intrigued by Ditto's transformation ability. Ditto and SCP-999 were easy-made friends, and Ditto's generally easy going nature has helped it make friends with other amiable blobs in the form of the Slime Family and Suu. Sometimes it can be found in Beatrix's slime ranch. Conversely, Ditto is nervous around the Blob as it is an evil (well evil-adjacent to be fair) Blob Monster that eats any organic matter near it, and would probably consider Ditto a tasty treat. Of course, the Transform Pokémon could turn into a copy of the Blob and give it a taste of its own medicine.
  • Besides Pokémon, Ditto is shown to be capable of transforming into other objects, though inexperienced Dittos will still have their face visible on the object in question, forcing them to take great care to hide them. One world also had Ditto act as a mask by taking on the form of people's faces, allowing their trainer Green to pass off as other people. The House of Costumes wonders if it can transform around them like a suit and allow them to take on the form of other people or Pokémon. While there's no confirmation yet, the thought is rather intriguing. Himiko Toga wonders if she could upgrade her Quirk by taking Ditto's blood, though she isn't even sure there's blood to take. Unsurprisingly she makes Ditto nervous.
  • Fun fact: While Ditto originally ascended under the Extreme Omnisexual trope, it had already snuck into the Trope Pantheon and was first discovered sleeping in the form of a rock. It's defensive strategy; it transforms into a rock when about to sleep and nobody would realize that is a Ditto. It only gave it away when someone tried to use a pick ax and it got scared. Ditto also has a hard time maintaining transformed form in the Hall of Jokes and Pranks since laughing hurts its concentration. Some wonder if Ditto could be used to see how funny members of the House of Theatre and Spectacle are, but the House has turned that down since they'll be damned before following the advice of just one critic.

Mimikyu, Goddess of Mimic Species (The Disguise Pokémon)

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/rsz_600px_778mimikyu.png
  • Hall: Impostors and Impersonations (House of Derivatives)
  • Intermediate Goddess (Greater Goddess without her disguise)
  • Symbol: The crude Pikachu merchandise it wears
  • Theme Song: Mimikyu's Song
  • Alignment: True Neutral
  • Gender: Female
  • Moveset: Wood Hammer, Slash, Shadow Sneak, Play Rough
    • Z-Move: Let's Snuggle Forever
  • Portfolio: Mimic Species Of Pikachu Because It Desires Its Popularity, I Just Want to Have Friends, Irritation Is the Sincerest Form of Flattery, The Disguise Also Covers A Horrifying Visage, Ghost And Fairy Type (and not the fluffy kind), Bedsheet Ghost, Ambiguous Innocence, Its Ability Lets It Take One Hit Though Now It Takes 1/8th HP Damage, You Cannot Grasp the True Form, Paper-Thin Disguise
  • Domains: Disguises, Loneliness, Jealousy, Obsession, Disturbing Appearances, Otherness
  • Interests: Fuminori Sakisaka
  • Interested in: Mewtwo, Plusle and Minum, Amoonguss,
  • Envies: PIKACHU
  • Allies: Casper, Gengar, Porygon, Ditto, Acerola, The House of Friendship and Camaraderie, Teddie, Unico, The Team Rocket Trio, The Cutie Mark Crusaders, Rachel Roth/Raven, Jeanne d'Arc (Alter), Kthanid
  • On good terms with: Bizzaro
  • Enemies: SCP-173, Eobard Thawne, Dark Danny
  • Creeped out by: Ghatanothoa, SCP-096
  • Wary of: Metal deities
  • Distrusted by: The Crewmates
  • There are many Pokémon that feel like a riff on Pikachu, an "electric rodent" sub-group starting with Plusle and Minum. If they play it mostly straight, Mimikyu feels like some sort of deconstruction; its true form is implied to be a minor Eldritch Abomination and it wears a Pikachu costume to hide it. This is because Mimikyu are incredibly lonely Pokémon who want to be loved and they mimic the Series Mascot, Pikachu. This desire to be like Pikachu and loved is often expressed at a jealousy, with one Mimikyu installing a Stalker Shrine. Jessie of Team Rocket has a Mimikyu who's envy to Pikachu has turned into an outright hatred of the yellow mouse. The disguise also has a practical purpose as asides from a few niche moves, it makes Mimikyu immune to one damaging move per battle. Though later on, Disguise would still deal 1/8th max HP damage when busted.
  • The obsession Mimikyu had with Pikachu initially got her the role "Goddess of Desiring to be Another", and it is still something the species as a whole fits rather well. However over time the Disguise Pokémon was re-reviewed under an even more fitting trope; that of the Mimic Species. This is a trait she shares in common with the later-ascended Amoongus, who instead of pretending to be another Pokémon is an ambush predator that pretends to be a Pokeball. Asides from that they don't have much in common, but Mimikyu is still curious. She is also quite interested in Plusle and Minum as the are deliberate expies of Pikachu. One of the Pokémon that the Ghost/Fairy type holds a lot of mutual empathy for is Porygon, as the virtual being was scapegoated for being involved in the infamous seizure incident and removed from the anime when it was actually the Electric type who caused it.
  • After learning Mimikyu's reasons for dressing like Pikachu, many deities wanted to become friends with Mimikyu, either because they felt sorry for her, or because they took and interest in her. The Avatars of Friendship gave her a party, a hug, a handshake (or "Tail" shake) and a promise to be there for her when she needs it. She was very happy to see her species had become popular for being an "Anti-Pikachu". Unico, who ascended due to a desire for friendship, felt a kinship with the Disguise Pokémon. In spite of being part of Team Rocket Mimikyu shows compassion to Jessie, and her partners in crime, since she was a kind trainer to her own Mimikyu and they have a complicated love-hate relationship with Pikachu.
  • While having ones neck snapped would be inconvenient to many people, whenever Mimikyu's disguise gets busted, Mimikyu's more sad about having its neck snapped because her costume could get torn. SCP-173 does cause damage when it performs a Neck Snap on Mimikyu, but not fatally and the statue doesn't get much satisfaction. The Pikachu mimic naturally isn't fond of the statue; Mimikyu's true form may be terrifying, but some of the SCP deities terrify her. The Shy Guy was one specific SCP she was scared of, but also had a morbid fascination. 096 is normally peaceful but goes ballistic and hunts down those who see its face, while Mimikyu never means much harm but seeing her true self is a death sentence...and it's highly unlikely the Shy Guy would be affected looking at Mimikyu's true form.
  • Acerola is another trainer Mimikyu likes, being a kindhearted Ghost-type specialist who uses a Mimikyu. Outside of her Hall, the Disguise Pokémon feels most at home in the Hall of Ghosts, and before someone asks yes she is aware that they are one of her only two counters. Gengar likes to invite Mimikyu to join him in his Halloween pranks. Like most ghosts, Mimikyu finds Dark Danny way too psychopathic for her tastes and keeps away from him. She prefers being around the likes of Casper as Mimikyu is more friend than fiend. There used to be many deities who were really curious about what Mimikyu looked like under her costumes, but upon hearing stories of the last person dying from shock after seeing what Mimikyu looked like, a lot of deities abandoned their curiosity.
  • Though useful for self-defense she isn't fond of her true form being horrifying, which led to her developing a close friendship with Raven as she also has a horrifying form. Feeling confident, she tried to make friends with the Crewmates but they weren't interested as being a horrifying-looking being wearing a disguise hit too close to home for them. The Imposter Crewmate/s were somewhat amused by this, much to Mimikyu's upset. The Disguise Pokémon felt better after learning about Lucina, who disguised herself as someone else (her ancestor Marth to be precise) in order to thwart a Bad Future.
  • Because of his corrupted perception Fuminori sees Mimikyu without a disguise as positively adorable, and with it as just as horrifying as most things. One would think that the Pokémon would jump for joy at someone who could love her as she really is, but then she saw his rap sheet. Even she wasn't that desperate to make friends with him and doesn't want to talk about anything relating to Saya no Uta. Mimikyu is more creeped out by Ghatanothoa, though. Her own status as a Brown Note Being allows her to not be mummified witnessing its visage, but she still suffers from the Paralysis status condition. The Great Old One doesn't care for "collateral damage", which the Disguise Pokémon was upset for since she doesn't want people hurt by her true appearance. Kthanid, being a Benevolent Abomination, pitied the Ghost.
  • Even though Mimikyu has made a lot of good friends since her ascension, Mimikyu's developed a particularly strong bond with Koume Shirasaka due to her love of spooky things, going so far as to find zombies cute. It was a strong enough bond that they eventually became partners. Mimikyu would also became friends with the Cutie Mark Crusaders since they came up with the idea of Mimikyu finding the one thing that she excels at so that she can make even more friends. Gods are just more interested as to how long it will take for the ponies to invite Mimikyu to see their wrestling friends. That day eventually did come, and Mimikyu finds herself watching horror movies in the Hall of Vampires every now and then. She relates to their members (asides from any Complete Monster, of course) because she hates the sunlight.
  • Mimikyu is intrigued by some of the more antagonistic doppelgangers in the Trope Pantheon. She's come to like "Jalter" as she sympathizes with her angst over being a doppelganger. She doesn't get why she's considered Chaotic Evil by the Grail. Mimikyu stands as one of the only beings Metal Sonic is genuinely sympathetic towards, as he absolutely understands her frustrations and while it gives him a headache he is otherwise immune to witnessing her true form. Bizarro is somewhat friendly with Mimikyu though he's not jealous of Superman; he's just pretty bad at his job. His Bizarro logic can make conversation with him pretty difficult, though. One doppelganger had nothing positive to say, however; Eobard Thawne. The Reverse-Flash has a very twisted envy and resentment of Barry Allen, and he is utterly deranged in his selfish, petty actions. The Disguise Pokémon was understandably horrified to see how obsession led to a monster like Thawne.

[up] For Ditto (and maybe Mimikyu), The Spy can perfectly disguise himself as other people usually to infiltrate the other team. Nothing There is an Abnormality that disguises itself as the people that it kills. The Alternates are a group of demons that disguise themselves as existing humans, with varying levels of accuracy.

So, I think it's clear that the Magical Girl Raising Project profiles are not only not up to snuff, but don't seem to realize just how powerful the characters actually are given the Unmarked animé adaptation didn't do them enough justice. In addition, some of the cast are still alive, and their stories are still ongoing.

But I don't just want to have them removed, I intend to rework two of them, who (I think) are safe from the hype prevention policy that comes with an ongoing work since they're already dead in the main storyline.

Here are my proposals.

  • Souta Kishibe, Bearer of Offscreen Deaths (La Pucelle)
    • Reasoning: The reason he's been selected for this trope is because his demise was never depicted on-screen or on-page, only referenced. In the light novel, it's only from Fav's updates that La Pucelle's death is mentioned. In the manga, it's the same. In the animé, while the cause of death is indeed shown, the nature of it (a car crash, fading to white just as he is thrown in front of it) means that depicting it in any detail onscreen—especially when it's happening to a minor—would not have flown past the censors. Therefore, technically it's still an off-screen death.
  • Yuna and Mina Amasato, Goddesses of Single-Minded Twins (Yunael and Minael, The Peaky Angels)
    • Reasoning: Mina and Yuna Amasato always did everything together thanks to their overlapping interests: same clothes, hung out together, and sort of knew what's on each other's mind. Even their mother sometimes had trouble telling the two apart. And not only did they become Magical Girls together, their power sets are similar, and were established as one set officially by their shared ID in the system.

Unfortunately, this also means removing the Pure Elements (Deluge is still alive and nuts in the head), as well as Snow White.

@RJ: [tup] for Ditto. (Also, if anyone's wondering why I suggested Mimit for high priest, it's because it's a blatant Expy of Ditto.)

As for Mimikyu, maybe she could have an interaction with the Hall of Fairies? Also, I thought its disguise's neck wasn't its actual neck.

Okay. Time to get things started.

Evaluation Mode

First draft. I'm posting as if the other MGRP profiles aren't here, because they soon won't be.

Souta Kishibe, Bearer of Offscreen Deaths (La Pucelle, the Dragon Knight, Sou-Chan, Mahou Shoujo Girl, nee-san, Trapucelle, Boi Pucelle)

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/pucelle.png
Souta Kishibe, La Pucelle's civilian form 
  • Intermediate Goddess (Quasideity when de-powered)
  • Symbol: His Sword
  • Alignment: Lawful Good
  • Portfolio: Fan of Magical Girls and Changing Gender to Become One, Mistaken as Main Character, Dragon-themed Knight (Complete with Tail Horns, and Reptilian Eyes), Thrill for Battle But Not For Deathmatches, Childhood Friends and Knight to Snow White's Lady, Likes a Fair Fight but Will be Pragmatic for Survival, Interchangable Sizes for Sword and Sheath, Unexpected Death Out of Screen (in the manga), Death Faked to be Accidental, Death Further Reveals an Elimination Rule, Badly Mutilated
  • Domains: Fandom, Swordplay, Nobility, Untimely Death
  • Followers: Ymir
  • Allies: all good-aligned Magical Girls, (particularly the Puella Magi, Nanoha Takamachi and her friends, The Hero Club, and Souji Mitsuka/Tail Red), Jeanne d'Arc
  • Rivals: Davion
  • Enemies: Yuna and Mina Amasato/Yunael and Minael, Kyubey, Monokuma and Junko Enoshima
  • Opposes: Wiz and Boomstick
  • Souta Kishibe was a fanboy of magical girls, but he barely had any friends to share his interest with (apart from his Childhood Friend Koyuki Himekawa, whom he hadn't seen since they went to different schools). When he was chosen to be one one day, she was shocked beyond belief. He eventually resolved to become his own ideal version of a magical girl, one who fights for justice. Unfortunately, he was killed when he unwittingly got himself into a death match with a bloodthirsty opponent, specifically the head of the Selection Exam they were in, Cranberry.
  • The reason he's been selected for this trope is because his demise was never depicted on-screen or on-page, only referenced. In the light novel, it's only from Fav's updates that La Pucelle's death is mentioned. In the manga, it's the same. In the animé, while the cause of death is indeed shown, the nature of it (a car crash, fading to white just as he is thrown in front of it) means that depicting it in any detail onscreen, especially when it's happening to a minor, would not have flown past the censors.
  • In one moment, he was waving goodbye to his friend Koyuki before leaving. In the next moment or after being beaten out of his MG form after a fight against Cranberry and then pushed into the path of a car, he's found himself in the Pantheon. There, the Court of the Gods have informed him on what had happened since his unfortunate end, especially the fate of Koyuki (thankfully, she's alive, but has been all but completely broken, though has attained a strong sense of justice and has earned a fearsome reputation for stopping rogue Magical Girls who would repeat what Cranberry and Fav [separately] desired). Unfortunately, her tale is not yet over, so there is no chance for her to make it here with him yet, which resulted in Souta suffering a period of depression; even if Snow White did make it here, she will have been changed so thoroughly that he would not be able to recognize her if they ever meet again.

  • In battle, La Pucelle always keeps a cool head and always thinks of what's the best move to make next. Her Magical Skill is to change the size of her sword at will, and contact with the sword isn't required to do this. The sword's default size is 1 meter long and 40 centimeters wide, but she can shrink it to 50 cm long and sheathe it like a hairpin, or [expand it to over 20+ meters long, all these dimensions increasing proportionately to each other. This allows her to use her sword in a variety of unconventional ways and catch opponents off-guard in melee combat, such as a platform to stand on when a hole abruptly opens from below. And this power also applies to her sword's sheathe, granting La Pucelle a surprise bludgeoning weapon.

  • Souta was led to the GUAG Magical Girl Sisterhood in an attempt to remedy his funk, given he's a fan of Magical Girls. He would've accidentally caused another riot upon his application—and this reveal of his MG form—were it not for the fact that Tail Red, another member of the Sisterhood, was also a member, and whose regular form is a guy named Souji Mitsuka. While Souta does not have twintails in either form, Souji still decided to help him out as a fellow Super Gender-Bender. Souta on the other hand feels a little envious that Souji never experienced (much of) the awkwardness from first having a female body due to his unnatural fixation for twintails (and the fact that Tail Red was really small). Well, there was the one time Souji's love to twintails got compromised after he was kissed by a girl that it turned his non-MG form female for a while. Also, he had already met another Super Gender-Bender like himself once before (though he only knows their human name Kaoru)
  • One thing of note that the Unmarked Anime didn't portray properly is that Magical Girls made by the Land of Magic are far, far stronger, tougher, faster, and more reflexive than one would think. Not just a few times stronger, but much greater than that, which can actually make them much better than most conventional Magical Girls. Standard fare abilities include not having a need for sustenance or rest, resistance to fatigue, excellent night vision, 49 times better eyesight, enhanced hearing, can run on telephone wires, feel tilts imperceptible to normal humans, can run up walls as easily as on flat ground, heal broken bones and deep cuts within a day, are immune to conventional poisons and non-magical alcohol, are mentally stronger, can remain calm in situations that would overwhelm their untransformed selves, and have more powerful mental capabilities and accelerated learning. They're stronger than any living thing on Earth (including elephants and hippos, and can withstand blows from them), can rip open a locked gate to a factory, and can climb skyscrapers. They can survive landmines meant for people or tanks, can survive all manner of weather and temperatures no matter how harsh, freezing, or burning (between -57 or -40 °C to 500, 1075, or 1650 °C), can ride on top of an airplane without issue, can survive falls from 30 meters or more, and survive car crashes. They can move faster than the human eye can track, can rip off non-MG clothes by their speed alone, perceive time differently (especially when it comes to mealtime), can outspeed cars, eagles, and leopards, can cross 200 meters in an instant, can be quick enough to kill a human "a hundred, or a thousand, times over" before that human can act, can keep pace with Shinkansen bullet trains, and 5 seconds can be basically an eternity for them.
    • Regarding La Pucelle, she can stop a speeding truck by hand, ram a steel tower hard enough to shake it and snap attached power lines (not to mention dislodge people from it, in this case the Peaky Angels) and suffer no injury from it, swing a 13-57 MT-heavy sword that's 20+ meters long to ragdoll a giant monster, and kick up a large trail of dust when running. Her sword is usually 1 meter long and 40 centimeters wide, but the longest she's expanded it is 20+ meters, and the widest she's expanded it is 2 meters (5 times the normal). Presumably, the thickness of the sword is usually 1/8th the width.
  • Part of his ascension package was his Magical Phone for transforming and other features… except he's informed that one doesn't actually need the phone to transform (else how could Animal MGs operate them untransformed, and how about MGs from before the time of cellphones?). Just thinking of transforming alone is actually enough even when separated from it. The phone is just more convenient, and has additional features. Also, trapping him in a tight container won't risk him getting crushed transforming (given La Pucelle is bigger than Souta); she would just burst out fine.
  • At first, La Pucelle held nothing personal against the Angel twins, the only other "Land of Magic MGs" ascended with her, due to how he saw them before his death. However, he then learned from the others the terrible things they have done after that, like them ambushing Sister Nana and Weiss Winterprison and killing the latter (at the cost of one of the twins), leading to the former committing suicide shortly after, not to mention all of Swim Swim's victims thereafter (Top Speed (a pregnant woman), Tama (one of their own, though both twins were dead by then), and Hardgore Alice (a Magical Girl whose civilian form is even younger than Koyuki's, and Minael even suggested the plan), among others). Since then, he's come to oppose the two.
  • There was one instance Souta went to an IRL meet with other MG fans as La Pucelle because he told everyone on the forum he uses that he was a girl. And ever since having had to use a disguise, then having to flee from a creep (without breaking him) and lose all of her clothes and stuff save for her undergarments just from running, Souta hopes to find some way to acquire much more durable garments. After overhearing him mutter about this, Rarity had a chat with him (after he recovered from the fact that a little unicorn was talking to him), and his being a Magical Girl was made known to her. After sweet-talking to him to confess about the whole Wardrobe Malfunction incident, she recommended him to Edna Mode's temple.
    • During that visit, after being ordered to transform so she can see what she has to work with (having been told by Rarity about Souta prior), Edna herself had a few things to say, given she looks down on the Sisterhood as a whole aesthetics-wise. After hearing of her physical parameters, Edna stated she does approve of La Pucelle's apparel for the most part (hair tied back, not a lot of dangling stuff for anything to get snagged, though La Pucelle has never actually used her tail in combat), but comments the need for something to cover the chest area for modesty's sake. La Pucelle concurs to that, then remembers what she came here for; clothes that can withstand her maximum speed and durability. The gender-bent MG wasn't confident Edna could pull this off, but the super suit designer was not daunted, and cited the clothes she's made for the Parrs, who have Super-Speed and Super-Strength in two of its members (also, she has had to patch up The Flash's suits a few times since her ascension, and their max speeds are ludicrous.)
    • And so Edna ran tests to verify the required minimum parameters for any clothing for La Pucelle (starting with chest covering). If there was any realization that her strength might just exceed Mr. Incredible's, Edna didn't show it. She had to admit that out of all Magical Girls she's met (Ladybug aside), La Pucelle was not bad at all. While making "ordinary" clothes (both those that can hide her horns and tail such as cloche hats and long skirts [Edna had a few comments regarding that, and promised to find better looking threads], and those that don't) out of the required super-sturdy material needed to withstand La Pucelle wasn't quite what she's hoping for, this is merely another challenge for Edna Mode that she relishes in. La Pucelle also wanted a bag for carrying things, bemoaning having lost most of her haul the last time she went out incognito, and while Edna can make one that can withstand the MG, the insides will have to be altered to form a Bag of Holding so that the contents aren't jostled and ruined.
  • Having been 14 years old and a middle school student, the age where image was everything, Souta had no way to share his interests at any meaningful capacity. It also didn't help that he was among jocks, who were at the age when they teased geeks for their glasses and the like. His magical girl interests being discovered would be social suicide, and being "outed" as a pervert, which he isn't. As such, he's thankful that such stigma isn't (as) prevalent in the Pantheon.
  • Having been part of the school's club for it, outside of Magical Girl-related stuff, Souta also expresses an interest in soccer, and dreamed of becoming a pro and playing in Europe. (other soccer players/aficionados) He's also shown some interest in tennis, having been a charming member of that team in school.
  • Used to attempt to practise meditation for a bit, though mainly to try to hide his potentially perverted thoughts from Snow White, whose power pertains to hearing thoughts of people in distress. He has since stopped whenever he's invited to since trying has just drifted his mind back to Koyuki, and how much she'll have changed since he died in the mortal realm, and that makes him depressed again.
  • Among the members of the Hero Club, he gets along with Fu Inubouzaki the most, as she also has an extendable sword.

Yuna and Mina Amasato, Goddesses of Single-Minded Twins (Yunael and Minael, The Peaky Angels)

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/rsz_minael_and_yunael.png
Human forms 
  • Intermediate Goddesses
  • Symbol: Their halos
  • Theme Song: Peaky Wonderful!
  • Alignment: Chaotic Neutral (Yunael has some Good leanings when alone)
  • Portfolio: Single-Minded Twins, Twin Banter, Shapeshifting, The Dividual, Our Angels Are Different, Older Than They Look, Face of an Angel, Mind of a Demon, Jerkass, Exotic Eye Designs, Asshole Victim
  • Domains: Magic, Death, Twins
  • Followers: Hikaru and Kaoru Hitachin, The Deeds, Ayla and Nias, The Twins, SCP-284
  • Allies: Ditto, Jibril
  • Enemies: Deities who command obedience from them
  • Friendly Enemies: Popo and Nana, Beast Boy
  • Odd Friendship: Ami Futami (Minael), Stocking and Panty Anarchy
  • Opposed by: All Good- and Law-aligned angels (especially the ones under the GUAL)
  • When it comes to twins, sometimes they tend to be similar to one another to the point of being indistinguishable from each other. Sometimes this makes them Creepy Twins. Sometimes it's Twin Telepathy. And sometimes, the writer just wants them to be Single-Minded Twins out of not wanting to make them distinct enough from one another.
  • Mina and Yuna Amasato always did everything together thanks to their overlapping interests: same clothes, hung out together, and sort of knew what's on each other's mind. Even their mother sometimes had trouble telling the two apart, and it neither get to keep any boyfriend around for long (since none of them ever entertained any Twin Threesome Fantasy, if the two even reciprocate that idea in the first place, given the animé shows them dumping one together who even asked for either of them to go out with him). They even became Magical Girls together when Fav selected the both of them, granting them not only similar appearances, but similar power sets as well, and were established as a set officially by their shared ID in the system, preventing them from doing any sockpuppeting).
  • Yuna and Mina Amasato ascended to their position not long after they both (separately) departed from the mortal realm, the former after provoking a Magical Girl with her girlfriend's appearance in a bid to kill them both, and the latter in a battle against the Big Bad examiner. The Court of the gods noticed that the both of them often have the same ideas, sometimes finish each others' sentences, and hardly argue with one another (at least never to the degree that it would end up with them refusing to talk to one another for days).

After it’s revealed that Fav intends for there to be one survivor and not eight, they quickly realize that this means at least one of them was guaranteed to die no matter what if he had his way. and change their attitude.

  • The Peaky Angels' Magical Skills work great in tandem and are as follows: both have the ability to shapeshift, Minael into anything inorganic, and Yunael into anything organic. Their durability and strength remains the same either way, even if what they turn into might probably be stronger. Yunael can only copy another subject's form, but not any of their other abilities, and she has to commit the form to memory for authenticity. Minael is still technically organic even with an inorganic form as Cranberry's spotting her heartbeat and killing her in rock form would attest to, and she has to understand the object to transform into it, so she cannot transform into complex machinery if she doesn't first understand how it works. Since Mina's not an engineer nor has the necessary qualities to become one, she's unable to use the most out of her potential, and the same goes for Yuna.

  • One thing of note that the Unmarked Anime didn't properly portray is that Magical Girls made by the Land of Magic are far, far stronger, tougher, faster, and more reflexive than one would think. Not just a few times stronger, but much greater than that, which can actually make them much tougher than most conventional Magical Girls. Standard fare abilities include not having a need for sustenance or rest, resistance to fatigue, excellent night vision, 49 times better eyesight, enhanced hearing, can run on telephone wires, feel tilts imperceptible to normal humans, can run up walls as easily as on flat ground, heal broken bones and deep cuts within a day, are immune to conventional poisons and non-magical alcohol, are mentally stronger, can remain calm in situations that would overwhelm their untransformed selves, and have more powerful mental capabilities and accelerated learning. They're stronger than any living thing on Earth pp(including elephants and hippos, and can withstand blows from them), can rip open a locked gate to a factory, and can climb skyscrapers. They can survive landmines meant for people or tanks, can survive all manner of weather and temperatures no matter how harsh, freezing, or burning (between -57 or -40 °C to 500, 1075, or 1650 °C), can ride on top of an airplane without issue, can survive falls from 30 meters or more, and survive car crashes. They can move faster than the human eye can track, can rip off non-MG clothes by their speed alone, perceive time differently (especially when it comes to mealtime), can outspeed cars, eagles, and leopards, can cross 200 meters in an instant, can be quick enough to kill a human "a hundred, or a thousand, times over" before that human can act, can keep pace with Shinkansen bullet trains, and 5 seconds can be basically an eternity for them.
    • Regarding the Peaky Angels, who are presumably also identical in terms of physical parameters, they can shatter a wooden table in a single kick, leap out of a full speed SUV and impact the ground with its door after kicking it off, swing a massive glaive (Minael morphed into it) to carve up an entire room, go in a wild chase across a district while carrying a safe that can fit a child inside in one hand and climb over a tall wall with it.

  • Dislike dealing with Yakuza ever since a plot they had to embarrass Ruler by one of them pretending to be Calamity Mary, who has actually had dealings with yakuza. It ended with some Yakuza confusing her for the real one, and getting involved in a gang war, and a hectic escape from Mary herself without her knowing it was even them. Even if the Peaky Angels themselves can curb-stomp any of the ascended yakuza members, even the likes of Majima and Kiryu if the two don't terrorize them first, they'd rather stay away.
  • Despite her mischievousness, even Yunael would thwart a suicide if she can, and is the most likely between the two to do good deeds when Minael isn't there or able to arrange pranks.

  • (prop hunt event that they infiltrate as a prank under someone's invitation; Animorphs attending end up "accidentally" acquiring them at separate points; realize they have them in their roster after seeing them pass by later and think of them) (Tom Berenson acquires them during a rescue)
  • (Ditto, Beast Boy)
  • (Jibril, Sora and Shiro, other angels of the Pantheon)
  • (Ice Climbers)
  • (the power of Kagan because of the designs of their pupils.)
  • (forced to serving)
  • (Anarchy Sisters)

Eva Adamson, Goddess of Emergency Transformations

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/eva_drawn_cover.jpg

  • Hall of Transformations
  • Quasideity
  • Symbol: A purple and yellow butterfly
  • Alignment: True Neutral
  • Portfolio: Underwent an Emergency Transformation, Protagonist Title, has Recurring Dreams about trees, named after Adam and Eve, learns she'd become a chimpanzee in the second chapter, figured it by looking in a mirror, still legally human, struggles with chimp instincts, Deadpan Snarker, dies of old age in the last chapter believing that chimps will inherit the Earth
  • Domains: Chimpanzees, ethics, fame
  • Allies: The Librarian, Tobias, Caesar, Winston, Tarzan, Captain Planet and the Planeteers
  • Interested in: Zaius
  • Of interest to: King Louie
  • Pities: The Once-ler
  • Enemies: Pokémon Hunter J, the Glukkons
  • Annoyed by: Mojo Jojo
  • In a future where human overpopulation has rendered most large animals extinct, Eva is the daughter of a primatologist who studies captive chimpanzees. As a result, she'd grown up interacting with his chimps and could communicate with them before she could talk. One day, when she was barely a teenager, she was involved in a horrifying car accident... and woke up eight months later in a body of a chimp named Kelly. The doctors explained that they copied her memories using a bleeding-edge procedure, which her mother agreed with to save her life. After leaving the hospital, Eva goes back to her old life (communicating with a text-to-speech keyboard) and becomes a media sensation, but it turns out the project had far bigger plans: she ends up being relocated to one of the last wild islands on Earth to teach a troop of chimps how to survive on their own.
  • Eva is an honorary member of the Hall of Primates. The member she interacts with the most is Zaius; in his world, great apes became the new civilisation after humanity declined, just like what she imagined would happen in her world. She thinks erasing all evidence of human history is excessive, though. As for its other members, she finds Mojo Jojo annoying. She initially pitied Winston because she thought he was another product of human exploitation, but was amazed when she learned he was a well-regarded scientist.
  • There are some great apes in other halls that Eva gets along with, too. She quickly related to Caesar, a captive chimpanzee who was mistreated by humans and eventually led his kind to find a new home. The Librarian is another human who became an ape and adjusted quickly. She prefers not to use her keyboard when interacting with them, instead communicating like a normal chimpanzee.
  • King Louie is the opposite of Eva: an ape who wants to be human. He's fascinated by man's red flower (fire), and once asked Eva to teach him how to make it. Eva refused, in case he burned down the entire House of Beasts.
  • She finds common ground with Tobias of the Animorphs. Just like her, Tobias became a wild animal in his early teens and grappled with his dual identity. Unlike Eva, he did so by choice. She's curious about morphing, but the morphing cube is strictly off-limits. She also has the same name as Marco's mother, which leads to confusion sometimes.
  • Eva grew up in a world where the few remaining wild places were heavily protected. As a result, she was amazed to learn there were many gods who grew up surrounded by wilderness; she gets along the most with Tarzan, another human who grew up with apes; and Captain Planet and the Planeteers due to their dedication to protecting the environment... even if their show is schlockier than the Adam and Eve cartoon she grew up watching.
  • Conversely, she despises anyone who exploits nature. Pokémon Hunter J is a ruthless hunter of rare creatures, but fortunately chimps are too mundane to be on her hitlist. The Glukkons destroyed their planet for the sake of business and hunted down many species to near-extinction, including their Mudokon slaves. Plus, their all-encompassing hunger for profit is like a twisted mirror of the shapernote  companies who might as well rule her world.
  • Eva pities the Once-ler, because he's like a microcosm of humanity in her world. He exploited a forest and cut down its trees for profit until nothing else remained, causing his company to collapse. Now, he's an old man who regrets his actions, but there's still hope for a better future: one Truffula seed remains. Similarly, humans in Eva's world became overpopulated until there was little left but cities, and they gradually lost the will to live; by the time Eva died of old age, people were committing mass suicides, but she believed chimps would inherit the Earth.
  • Eva's chimpanzee instincts still long for the jungle, and the Pantheon has two: Isla Nubar and Isla Sorna. Unfortunately, very few gods are allowed there because of the risk of being killed by their dinosaurs. She isn't one of them. She was horrified when she learned how these dinosaurs came to be; humans developed the technology to resurrect extinct species, only to use them as entertainment? She had to reign in the urge to rip John Hammond's face off.

[up][up] For Souta/La Pucelle, Natsuru Senou is a boy who turns into a girl when he transforms into his Kämpfer form. I wonder how Max Owen would think of Souta/La Pucelle, as Max is a transgender boy who hates the (initial) girliness of his magical girl outfit.

[up][up] Hexxus is a living entity of pollution who of course wants more of the world to be polluted to high hell. The Inklings and Octolings are essentially squids and octopi that became civilized races after humanity went extinct. And Eva would despise the Buy n Large company for being a major contributor to their Earth being almost uninhabitable due to all of the landfills of garbage and waste, and had humans leave the planet instead of take responsibility for their actions.

Got a couple new ideas. I want to know which you guys think is a good idea or not

  • Emporio Alniño, God of Being Bequeathed Power. Adopted from Shinobi. Spoiler alert: Before Weather's death, he leaves behind his Stand disc in hopes that his friends will be able to defeat Pucci. During the final battle, Emporio tricks Pucci into inserting Weather's Stand disc into him, then uses Weather Report to kill him.
  • Captain Gantu, God of Net Guns (Hall of Firearms, Lawful Neutral)-Gantu was the Hero Antagonist of the movie and a villain in the series until he has a Heel–Face Turn in the Leroy and Stitch movie. His main tool is a gun that can shoot out a net, which is used to contain perps in it. Even Stitch can't break out of it despite his super strength

  • Enemies: Each other's respective allies, The Nothing, Fecto Forgo, Bowser (Land of Dreams), Kirby (Viltheed)
  • Conflicting opinions on: Madotsuki, Mary
  • Within the realm known as the Sleeping World, there are two realms: The Land of Dreams, and the Land of Nightmares, or Viltheed. In the Land of Dreams, the kind and powerful Dream Maker uses the power of the Dreamstone to send good dreams to the Noops and Wutts of the world. But within Viltheed, the terrible Zordrak, Lord of Nightmares, seeks to steal the Dreamstone and spread nightmares instead. To this end, he sends his minions, the Uprneys, to try and steal it. Fortunately, the Urpneys are not only very bad at their jobs (and timid cowards besides), but are always stopped by Rufus and Amberly, two Noops who serve as the Dream Maker's aides.
  • The tale of how these two sides came to the Pantheon is an bizarre one. Reportedly, the Urpneys, on one of their attempts to steal the Dreamstone, wound up flying through a portal and directly into the Treasury, where they came across another Dreamstone- the one from the dream world accessible by Pi'illo Island. Deciding that this would be enough to please Zordrak, they stole it and headed back to Viltheed. Zordrak was initially furious, as he was not fooled by the deception, but decided that the Pi'illo Dreamstone was enough to work in his favor. That night, nightmares were spread across the Sleeping World, but Rufus and Amberley, when checking on the Dreamstone, found it to be safe and secure, baffling them.
    • This trick worked for several weeks, but back in the Pantheon, Ysera and the Protectors of Dreams were also detecting loads of nightmares, too much for them to handle. Eventually, they uncovered the theft of the Pi'illo Dreamstone and discovered the Urpneys had foolishly left behind part of the Whirlyped they had used to get to the Pantheon. After examining it and determining its origins, Ysera opened up a portal to Viltheed and the Protectors stormed the Black Mountain. To say Zordrak was shocked was an understatement, as he knew nothing on who they were or how to fight any of them off. Nether the less, the Protectors recovered the Pi'illo Dreamstone, but Zordrak left a trace of magic on the stone and the day after it was returned, he launched a full out assault on the Pantheon- a "Megattack", as the Uprneys called it.
    • When the Protectors saw this, they made a second visit to the Sleeping World, where they met the Noops and Wutts and decided to take them into the Pantheon to fight off the invaders. The result was that the Megattack failed, but N'Zoth and his Invokers of Nightmares had managed to take over the Court of Gods in the confusion and ascended Zordrak and his minions in that time- which also had the side effect of reviving all the Urpneys Zordrak had killed before the events of his series began. The Court of Gods, once restored, quickly ascended the Dream Maker and his allies as well.
    • As a result of the mandate, the areas of the Sleeping World would be placed of the far parts of the House of Dreams, so the Protectors could see if the Uprneys were up to something. The mandate also ordered that Zordrak could only try to steal the Dreamstone of the Sleeping World, and no other artifacts. As the revived Urpneys included Captain Crigg, who had been one of the victims of Zordrak's killings, Crigg was given a position under Blob and his squad as a fourth member. It wasn’t all bad, though, as the Dream Maker and his allies joined the protectors- though Zordrak and his minions quickly joined the Invokers in response.
  • In their roles as part of the two factions who protect dreams, the Land of Dreams folk tend to help them spread good dreams across the entire Pantheon in exchange for having some of the Protectors guard the Dreamstone. This has caused no amount of problems for the Urpneys- they’re already horrible at stealing the thing, so how can they do it when someone stronger and more dangerous than the Noops is guarding it? Zordrak has also employed others from the Invokers to try to take the stone. Most of them are more successful- Freddy Krueger, for one, is more than willing to kill anyone who gets in his way, to Zordrak's delight. But often if the stone is taken, the Noops will ask one of the other Protectors to take it back, with predictable results.
    • Some of the Protectors question why Zordrak is willing to put up with the Urpneys if they keep failing. He responded that he did kill some at first, but there’s only so many casualties you can cause before you run out. Not to mention, with the Pantheon having ways to revive them, that tactic isn’t useful anymore.
  • Despite their feuds, there is one deity who they will always team up with and fight against if they see it: The Nothing. The Nothing destroys imagination, and that includes both dreams and nightmares, and neither party wants that gone. As such, if the Nothing is encroaching on the House of Dreams and Nightmares, they will team up to fight it and Gmork off.
  • Kirby was none too pleased to learn of a being who wanted to corrupt dreams, and often joins the Noops when trying to retrieve the Stone. Knowing that the pink Star Warrior has defeated many enemies, some of them more powerful than even Zordrak, the Urpneys are utterly terrified of him (even more than usual). Zordrak views him as a great challenge and seeks to find a way to defeat him for good, often asking Nightmare for help.
  • One time after a successful theft of the Dreamstone, Zordrak used his powers to corrupt the dreams of Madotsuki and Mary. But, as their dreams were already creepy enough, they were totally unaffected by his attempts to do so with his Argorribles. The Lord of Nightmares was utterly baffled as to why they weren’t terrified, and, once the Noops took the stone back, Zordrak decided to leave them alone, noting that anyone he couldn’t terrify was useless to him.
  • When the inhabitants of the Land of Dreams met the Bone Cousins after they traveled there, they learned of their victory over the evil Lord of Locusts, who also sought to plunge his world into one of eternal nightmares. The Bones often tend to visit when the day has come, supplying blank sandwiches to the people of the Land of Dreams.
  • When Zordrak learned that Sumireko Usami had once undergone a three week long nightmare, he sent an Argorrible to try to replicate that event or worse. The Argorrible succeeded in doing this, and actively made the nightmare longer and harder for her. Sumireko eventually managed to wake herself up and quickly made sure to inform the inhabitants of the Land of Dreams to ensure it never happened again.
  • Exclusive to the inhabitants of the Land of Dreams:
    • The Dream Maker serves as the higest power in the Land of Dreams, and it is he who helps send good dreams to the world. This power has since been spread to the majority of the Pantheon, with the Protectors often aiding him whenever possible. He is frequently pacifistic, but will fight when push comes to shove. He is often accompanied by his pet dog-fish, Albert.
    • Rufus was known for his daydreaming tendencies, which got him in trouble as they caused him to lose focus and be unemployed. But when he joined the Dream Maker, he found a suitable job of creating good dreams. As a result, he is often tasked with guarding the Dreamstone come nightfall.
    • Amberley is Rufus' best friend and was also employed at the job he was working at prior to gaining work under the Dream Maker. Whatever faults Rufus might have, Amberley is there to correct them. She, too, guards the Dreamstone when night comes.
    • Pildit is the leader of the army of a group of forest dwelling creatures called the Wuts, who are there to help the Noops in the rare event the Urpneys manage to get the better of them. He is usually mellow, but has a hard time keeping a sense of humor.
    • Wildit is Pildit's grandmother, and often aids him on patrols. She’s very fearless, despite her age, and enjoys a good adventure. That being said, she is very kind to the younger members of the team.
    • Spildit is Wildit's niece, and is naturally a very curious child. She sometimes, however, has trouble figuring out which side is which. This has lead to the Urpneys tricking her on a few occasions, but it usually doesn’t work out for them.
    • Mr. Blossom is more or less a bystander in the feud, simply preferring to work on the Dream Maker's garden. Sadly, this often gets damaged when the Urpneys invade. As a result, he becomes very grumpy and ill tempered.
    • The Planet Dreamstone is a magical talking planet, and it is there where the Dreamstone was created and where Dream Makers go to restore their powers. As a general rule, she only gets involved if the situation has gotten completely out of hand. She does occasionally require being repaired if she is hit by a meteor.
      • The Planet Dreamstone has gone under greater protection, as many villains seek to use her for their own purposes. In particular, Fecto Forgo wishes to corrupt her for her own powers- or failing that, crash her into the Pantheon and cause immeasurable damage. Meanwhile, Bowser thinks he can use her to become as or even more powerful as he was when he faced the Mario Brothers while using the Pi'illo Island Dream Stone.
  • Exclusive to the inhabitants of Viltheed:
    • Zordrak himself was once a member of the Council of Dreams, which the Dream Maker is a part of. However, he began to abuse his power and turn dreams into nightmares. The Council had no choice but to banish him. But soon, he vowed revenge and created Viltheed and mustered an Urpney army. He keeps them in check with fear and power, abusing them whenever they fail. As they can no longer stay dead, he is more prone to killing them now- but he has promised to spare Blob and his squadron.
    • Zordrak's right hand man is Uprgor, a mad scientist who creates all manner of machines for the Uprneys to use. He rarely ever takes up the task himself, but occasionally does so to upstage Blob. He is highly egotistical and prideful of his many inventions.
    • The commanding officer of the Urpneys is Sgt. Blob, a rotund and gung-ho being. Blob personally leads the Uprneys in every attempt they can make to try to steal the Dreamstone, which typically fail. But that doesn’t dampen his spirits one bit.
    • Corps. Frizz and Nug are Blob's two henchmen, and they feel are the cowardly of the Urpneys. Often they don’t want to go on missions, but tag along because they are forced to. They often try to flee Viltheed and hide somewhere in the Pantheon, but it is not long before they are found.
    • The original leader of the Urpneys, Capt. Crigg was known for making many mistakes when dealing with Zordrak, culminating in Zordrak losing his patience after two in one day and hurling him into the Pit of No Return. However, as mentioned, he was brought back after the full ascension revived all the dead Urpneys and was swiftly demoted to serve as a fourth member of Blob's squad. He naturally fears anything that can consume him, as his original death was caused by the Frazznats in the Pit.
    • Zarag, Zordrak's sister, was once sealed in a bottle before Nug foolishly allowed her to escape after toppling it. Zarag does not usually take part in the schemes to steal the stone, as she feels it is not worth her time. She is very vain and simple, at one point she stole the stone just to use as a decoration for her hair.
