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- If you feel the need to remove a character for some reason (poor quality, outdated titles, etcetera) and replace him/her with another or outright rework, please see what the other tropers think about this in the discussion thread before doing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

@Azure Legacy: Kasumi does qualify for the trope, as she does call herself a kleptomaniac when asking about whether or not Jacob is into "Japanese girls with a penchant for kleptomania."
Speaking of which...
Kasumi Goto, Divine Master Thief Of The Pantheon (Little Bird, The Best Thief In The Galaxy)

- Potential House:
- Symbol: Kenji Okuda's Greybox

- Domains: Thieves, Morally Ambiguous, Hackers, Lost Loves
- Herald: Her Crew Of Thieves
- High Priestess: Max Guevara
- Infatuated With: Jacob Taylor
- On Good Terms With: House of Thieves
- Opposed By: House of Royalty and The House of Law and Justice
- Allies:
- From The Normandy: Commander Shepherd', Miranda Lawson, Kaidan Alenko, Ashley Williams, Tali'Zorah nar Rayya, Jack, Urdot Wrex, Liara T'Soni
- Friendly Criminals Include: Arsène Lupin, Han Solo, Jyn Erso of Rogue One, Carmen Sandiego, Selina Kyle, Remy LaBeau
- Other Allies: Lara Croft, Indiana Jones, Nathan Drake, Naruto Uzumaki
- Enemies:
- Threats To The Galaxy: The Illusive Man, Harbinger
- Antagonistic Law Enforcement Include: Judge Dredd, John Luther, Robocop, Dirty Harry Callahan, Commissioner Jim Gordon, Inspector Javert

- Person Of Interest To: Tony Stark, Nick Fury, Bruce Wayne, Amanda Waller, Superman
- "I'm the best thief in the business, not the most famous. Need to watch my step to keep it that way." Despite taking such precautions to maintain a low profile, Kasumi Goto is known far and wide not because she is in the words of Commander Shephered, "the best damn thief in the galaxy," but because of her dealings with the aforementioned commander of the Normandy. Which explained why Shepherd was able to smooth Kasumi's ascension into the Pantheon after Kasumi snuck in, planning on raiding the House of Treasures and stealing everything that isn't bolted down. Fortunately, Shepherd - or Shep, as Kasumi calls them - was able to convince her that trying to raid the Pantheon wouldn't end well for her. As much as Kasumi want to loot the Treasury, not even Shepherd could protect her if the full weight of the Pantheon came down on her. But, Kasumi is happy to be reunited with Shep and his crew. Yet, she is bummed that Jacob Taylor hasn't ascended to the Pantheon. Shepherd knows of Kasumi's crush on Jacob, but whether or not his subordinate is into Kasumi, is unclear. Or as Kasumi had put it, "Japanese girls with a penchant for kleptomania."
- Kasumi is known as "the best thief in the galaxy," a title that the deified members of the Normandy can attest to. Kasumi sees that stealing and indulging in her vices are in her own words, 'fun.' But, when asked whether or not she would consider stealing from Smaug, Kasumi flatly refused. She may be the best thief in the galaxy, but even she knows her limits. That, and while Cerberus was able to revive Shepherd, neither the Illusive Man or the Normandy's medical bay can fix third and fourth-degree burns. She did break into Tony Stark's temple and swiped the latest iteration of his Ironman armor. Tony was annoyed at the theft, but he was impressed, and offered her a job with the Avengers. Kasumi refused, stating that she was aligned with Commander Shepherd. She did, however, returned Stark's Ironman suit, but only when Shepherd asked her to. She even broke into the Fortress of Solitude, but not to steal the Kryptonian tech inside, but rather to test its security and defense systems at Superman's request. Not to say that she was tempted to snag some tech in exchange for some quick cash.

- Biodata is a rather difficult subject to explain. It covers the notion that information is the lifeblood of modern (and likely future) civilization, and can be stored in analog, digital, or organic form, on an organic or even biological matrix. In the world of Shin Megami Tensei, the concept that everything, be it buildings, plants, people, souls, abilities, and creation itself, is ultimately made up of what can be aptly described as data. Not simply as just a form of information but as a state of matter smaller than an atom. Digital Devil Saga explores this concept the best. Understanding that creation is made of data, being able to utilize said data allowed the brilliant scientist Jenna Angel to create the Atma Virus. A virus that unlocks the demonic data hidden inside the human body, allowing them not only to transform into a demon, but it unlocks the power associated with said demon form as well. More impressively, this concept can also be used as a form of pseudo-reincarnation. Despite not having the specific information implemented, they can still retain certain information of concepts that they shouldn't know, or memories that they’ve never personally experienced. It’s also how even when created in a virtual reality, someone, or something, can be transferred into the real world, if only slightly overwritten.
- The story of the Embryon Tribe begins in what's known as The Junkyard. The Junkyard is a harsh, unforgiving, war-torn wasteland, with six major Tribes battling for control and supremacy. Once one tribe defeats the leader of another, the losing tribe will join the victors, and when there is only one tribe left, they will be awarded with the right to reach the top of the Karma Temple and enter Nirvana. Sometimes however, some groups form new minor Tribes and overthrow and replace one of the major Tribes, which Serph, Heat, Argilla, and Cielo have done to Gale's previous Tribe, so such a time was going to be a long, long time coming. At least that what was the initial plan. One day, a mysterious giant egg landed in territory between the Embryon and Vanguard Tribes, and the two fought each other thinking the other brought it here. When the egg opened, two things happened. One, all hell broke loose, with soldiers transforming into demons, and with these demons slaughtering and devouring their victims. Two, a young unconscious black-haired girl lay where egg was. This girl was Sera, and with arrival, everything changed.
- Not long after Sera's arrival and the Vanguard's defeat during an investigation by Embryon, the Tribe leaders were given a new order: to be allowed to enter Nirvana, on top of defeating the other Tribes, they must also have "the black-haired girl" in their custody as well. With their new orders and powers, they set out to win the war once and for all. As they defeated more Tribes, and hopefully unravel the secret behind Sera, they discovered certain oddities. For one, the law that once ironclad and unquestioned has lost its grip on the inhabitants, the Solids Tribe would go to join the Brutes as opposed to the Embryon upon defeat, and members of the Embryon tribe even discussed to themselves if they’d actually join the tribe that would hypothetically kill their leader (the answer is no). They realized that they know and fully understand certain creatures and concepts that don’t exist in the Junkyard, such a cat despite having never seen one before hand, and parents and children, despite neither existing. The leader of the Brutes, Varin Omega, or has he refers to himself Colonel Beck, explained it all. Everyone in the Junkyard is already dead, and Nirvana is the world of their origin, Earth. With the new revelation and Sera's memory restored, she left the tribe to confront the who started all of this. The voice that made the new decree in the Karma Temple, the one who released the Demon Virus, the reason to why Sera appeared in the Junkyard, was Sera's mother/father Angel. As they chased after her, refusing to abandon a comrade, they saw that the Junkyard was disappearing, with no where else but up, they battled to the top of the Karma Temple and confronted Angel, where she decided to engage them in battle with an Atma Avatar of her own. While they prevailed, it was still too late to stop the deletion. Even as the party hotfooted it to the pillar of light where Angel entered in an attempt to escape the destruction, and everyone (Angel included) managed to make it out and travel (back) to Earth, though they ended up separated. Unfortunately, instead of being greeted by a clear blue sky, they were met with a harsh yellow one with a black sun. Their battle was far from over.
- Fortunately for the Tribe, everyone eventually managed to reunite, and gain new allies in the name of the Lokapala, a human resistance group led by a man named Roland, and one of its younger members named Fred, who had found three of the Tribe soon after their arrival on Earth. It’s from Roland they learned the complete truth of the Junkyard, that it was virtual simulation meant to replicate real-life military warfare, and it was all created by Sera under guidance from the Karma Society. Not only that, but the one who turned the Earth into a hostile wasteland, where demonic power is required to survive the environment, was none other than God himself. Now knowing the truth, and more importantly, where to find Sera, their mission was clear; find the missing members of their tribe, save Sera, and convince God to spare the world. Unfortunately no plan is perfect, many hurdles were thrown in their way, and sacrifices were needed to continue on. Fortunately, nothing would stop them, not even death, as all life and constructs are at their core, Data, the Embryon Tribe was still able to continue forward even after death. Together, fully reunited, they confronted God, and through combat they successfully convinced Him of humanity's right for survival. For their reward, not only was the Humanity spared and the Earth saved, but everyone was reincarnated to live a new and peaceful life under the guidance of a now-adult Fred years later.
- As for how the party made it to the Pantheon, it's actually courtesy of a powerful resident there establishing contact with God, a.k.a. Brahman (rather than YHVH) during His fight with them. Because everything there is technically data, copying everything necessary was a cinch, and recreating them in the Pantheon was just as simple. In respect to Seraph's fate, they do not ascend alongside everyone else, but their constituents do, and thus Serph and Sera join their comrades in the Pantheon. And to alleviate the issues of Horror Hunger, the duration it takes before the need to consume comes up is extended so that there's no need to…feed so often to be unable to enjoy the company of other non-Tuners, though the fact they still do is something Roland and Sera have to live with now.
- Applies to all or some of them:
- Back when they existed in the Junkyard, things did not operate as they do on Earth. Whenever someone dies there, their bodies turn into the silvery rain that falls from the sky. Eventually, they are reborn and come stumbling out from the Karma Temple alone. At this point, they can either find their way to the nearest tribe and join up, or band together and try to take over another tribe's territory. This is essentially how Serph and company took over their current base, killing the leader of the previous tribe there, then going to the Karma Temple to petition them to be allowed to form their own tribe. Interestingly, Gale wasn't part of Serph's crew in the overthrow, but among the defeated tribe, who called for a ceasefire once the leader was dead, and then as per rules of the Junkyard, all remaining soldiers were integrated into the then-new Embryon Tribe.
- In terms of their… housing, given they have none outside the simulation most of them came from, the Embryon Tribe's temple takes the form of Muladhara
, their former base at the Junkyard, and their entire force was revived as well to serve as Heralds. All their soldiers, AI simulacra though they may be, were still based on once-living people just like them, and all of them have Atma brands that make them able to turn into certain demons. Due to their bonds with Argilla and Gale respectively, Jinana and Lupa are revived now as members of Embryon. Roland's soldiers among the Lokapala who were slain in the war against the Karma Society, or by the Meganada/Indrajit, are among the revived to serve as Heralds to Roland, though only those that have died after Serph's party materialized in the real world. That said, contact with the post-rebuild world at the end of the game was also established, allowing Fred to see them again.
- Despite it all being a simulation, the Embyron tribe are proficient with firearms. Argilla is a talented sniper, Heat lobs grenades with a launcher (if he's not using an assault rifle), and Serph is able to shoot projectiles out of the air with a handgun. Gale also sometimes attacks with a knife in his shoe if he's not packing an assault rifle, and Cielo uses a submachinegun. Roland uses a shotgun, and Sera has learned to use a pistol. And given the threat level of things in the Pantheon, there is no need to use their Atma Avatars all the time, and where their human forms have combat advantages in being able to use guns, having no elemental or ailment weaknesses, and immunity to Expel/Light skills.
- However, they all still hunger for Magnetite, and acquire it from eating humans and demons in their Atma Avatars. In the case of the latter though, because SMT demons are varied, this can also mean the likes of yokai, legendary figures, or even angels and legitimate deities. Thankfully, in addition to ther current selves not needing sustenance as frequently as before, there are plenty such roaming around, and evil humans that deserve death (such as the Slavers, HYDRA, etc.) aren't in short supply either, though having said meat be processed into canned food isn't out of the question, and killing humans doesn't grant them Atma Points for improving their Avatars. And there's always the Flesh Eaters Hall in the House of Food, as well as the House of Slaughter.
- Due to the need for Magnetite, this does mean that they cannot Hunt synthetic or extraterrestrial beings, who possess…different energies when they did try eating some of them. Whatever it was they had, it wasn't Magnetite. Given that eating living flesh was just a matter of needing it to survive, the Tribe actually look down on cannibals who enjoy eating others. Even Heat, as accepting as he is of his circumstances, doesn't see any appeal in undetaking this practice merely for pleasure. They were also disgusted by Shesha of the Divine Powers, who devoured humans despite his distaste for human flesh but sadistically eats them anyway. That said, they pity Merkava's plight and come to understand how they had to eat or otherwise starve, and vice versa. However, Merkava isn't willing to go near them in fear of giving in to his hunger and trying to devour them as well.
- Killing/Eating one's own allies is a sore trigger for anybody, but Cielo acts much more strongly against it, after Tribhvana Earth ate his comrades Air and Heaven in an attempt to best the Embryon Tribe. To him, anyone who does that while calling them their comrades doesn't deserve to. Gale actually pities them if all it grants is strength, because the Tribe knows that it's not everything that matters. Of course, the whole devouring thing makes them a terror not only to their foes, leading to panic most of the time for the lesser-willed, but can also be demoralizing for their allies too sometimes.
- Given their trial against Brahman, his fellow deity in the Hindu Trinity, Vishnu, is appreciative of their presence in the Pantheon, though his curious as to why "Seraph" wasn't among them. Even if they did not actually need to face him in battle en route to Brahman. If they had met him, Vishnu stated that it had been a while since the dharma (righteousness) has vanished from people's hearts and been replaced by adharma (wickedness) as it has in their world. He had intended to destroy them to cleanse the impurity, but they had shown the strength of their dharma to him through combat.
- They sympathize with Melfina as both being Artificial Humans. The Tribe compared her to Sera as they learned about her as she was the key to finding the Galactic Leyline, contained in her body. They compared the Galactic Leyline to Brahman because of their omnipotence. They also get along swimmingly with Marceline, as they share the ability of obtaining abilities by consuming their foes (they to complete their Mantras for learning abilities, and she to acquire their abilities). The Vampire Queen, on her part, strongly sympathized with the tribe for their struggles.
- As Junkyard residents who aren't completely familiar with the ways of the outside world, even with what they learn, the Embryon Tribe (or at least Gale, Serph, and Argilla) don't really understand the whole excuse of someone being Just a Kid; willingness to fight (and the capacity to contribute to it) is all that matters to be a warrior. The Embryon Tribe have no issues with naked women, having witnessed Sera's arrival in that state, and likely dressed her up, as well as the wonky way of life back in the Junkyard making concepts such as modesty not something they were familar with, though they were understanding it now. They also see flowers as highly valuable commodities due to the state of the Earth they were at. While it is still the case now in some instances and for some species, they're not nearly as expensive as back there, and there are deities who can grow them in abundance.
- As stated before, everyone in the Embryon Tribe (exc. one) is based on people in Sera's life. Serph is based on Dr. Serph Sheffield, chief scientist of the Karma Society's God Project, personal caretaker of the Cyber Shaman Sera, and basically responsible for the whole mess due to his manipulativeness and higher ambitions. He always made sure to put up a caring facade in front of Sera, which is why Serph is such a nice guy. Heat is based on Dr. Heat O'Brien, colleague of Dr. Sheffield who disliked his treatment of Sera, but his showing of anger most of the time around her (when he actually cares) means that's what Heat pretty much is. Argilla is based on one of Dr. Sheffield's nurses who tended to Sera. Unbeknownst to the Cyber Shaman, the nurse hated her, and would later be responsible for O'Brien's death by shooting him when he threatened Sheffield with a gun. Cielo is based on a previous (young) Cyber Shaman cadidate before Sera who ended up dying from the experiments. As for Gale, he's based on Dr. David Gale, who was all but engaged to Sera's parent Jenna Angel, and it's his death that made her who she is by the time the Embryon Tribe faced her.
- Despite how vastly different they are, the Embryon Tribe find themselves having common ground with the ascended Persona-users. Cannibalism aside (which was almost a turnoff for most of the casts), they still have friendship and comradery as a core part of their stories. Sera seems to bond most with Maya Amano given just how similar they are. Both of them are cheerful and optimistic gunslingers with unusual appearances for their setting (Maya with her purple eyes, and Sera with black hair in the Junkyard), they occasionally become Damsels in Distress, their element is ice, and both of them end up indirectly bringing the end of their respective worlds as well ad eventually reincarnate in the new world they help create.
- It didn't help that she was under the stress of the chaos of battle that time, but when the Embryon Tribe took down some enemies and… started doing what they usually do after that, Littlepip instantly went into a panic and attacked them. While nowhere near their power level even with her own accomplishments, the Tuners had trouble taking her down without killing her. While Heat held back less than the others, it only resulted in drawing more aggro from the unicorn and even getting lacerated with Blood Magic. It took enduring her blows and bullets until she overtaxed her magic and rendered herself helpless before Argilla, Cielo, and Sera felt it safe to revert to humans and try to calm her down. After hearing Littlepip's reasons for her stance against cannibals due to the Arbu incident, she was given a on explanation that Tuners required eating living flesh to avoid turning insane, basically a price for their power. While not enemies anymore, the unicorn can't tolerate them any more than is necessary due to her trauma.
- Exclusive to Serph:
- While the Tribe would find Zanza's action as the "God" of his world to be terrible, Serph realized how similar he is to his "template", Serph Sheffield, an egomaniacal scientist who wanted the power of God and whose actions led to the crisis that hit their world, and this has more reason than anyone else to oppose him.
- Exclusive to Heat:
- Due to his demeanor and attitude, some allies get wary around Heat in his Atma Avatar form lest he try to take a bite out of them, though not usually when Serph or Sera are there too. For reasons, some people who are terrified of Alucard express terror when they hear Heat speak up (without seeing Heat) about wanting to devour someone, mistaking him for that vampire. Word eventually reached that vampire, and he does find it curious that there was someone who sounds just like him who has embraced eating people.
- Given their philosophies, Hear got a rival in the half-demon Virgil, who thinks consuming enemies is a disgusting practice. Heat retorts that trying to unseal and then raise hell isn’t any better.
- Exclusive to Argilla:
- Makes a good "Sera" from a distance when disguised properly. As for why she had needed one in the first place, it was to lure some rival tribe that wanted her. It wasn't that Argilla was the only other female in Embryon (there are likely some generics), but it was likely that no other female would've been able to survive luring the psychotic Bat to them, and Argilla had a personal score to settle with him.
- Enjoyed the company of another sniper by the name of Sharla. Both also happen to be primary healers in their teams, and serve a motherly role especially towards Sera and Juju respectively. This is more significant for Argilla, since the nurse she was based on actually loathed Sera. Her cannibalism notwithstanding, she and Sharla actually get along well.
- Exclusive to Gale:
- Prior to leaving the Junkyard behind, Gale had the rank of "bishop" in the Embryon Tribe. Junkyard bishops are the tactical heads of each Tribe, and are stuffed full of implants that allow them to record events and play them back (at one point, Gale plugs a cable into his head behind his ear and allows the team to see [from a displaying device] his perspective on the events that gave everyone demon powers and brought Sera to them), as well as analyze and process the best possible outcome for every event. His hood isn't just for show either, as it's loaded with surveillance gear that feeds into his ocular implants, and a socket for that cable. In the Pantheon, this hardware had to be (re)invented from scratch for his needs, not to mention also having to be made compatible with the other technologies here. Thankfully, Gale knows how they're made, so recreating them was a cinch.
- Whenever he doesn't understand something, if he's not deciding to just feel it, Gale would say "I do not comprehend." And it gets amusing or irritating whenever someone parrots that catchphrase, chortles at it, or otherwise directly remarks on it. While a logician most of the time, he's also inherited a strong sense of honor, and takes the concept very seriously. This eventually led to an interaction with Zuko, who had been largely motivated by restoring his honor for much of Aang's journey. Through him, Gale learned more about how honor affects people differently, even overriding logic at times.
- Exclusive to Cielo:
- Cielo's Atma Avatar is a special case from everyone else's. Apart from being able to fly really fast, enough to get into a decent dogfight with fighter jets, he has a weakness to all status ailments (but not pretrification and One-Hit Kill moves, and then downplayed to just Nerve ailments he's weak to). He can carry up to three human adults on his back over an extended but not overly long distance. He did complain of their weight afterwards, so this is probably not an optimal means of transport, though it helped with escaping a ship they rigged with bombs (It Makes Sense in Context).
- Exclusive to Sera:
- If an Atma Avatar goes out of control by way of Hunger, Sera has a Song of Grace that can reverse its effects if they haven't succumbed completely. Of course, this option won't be possible if it's Sera herself suffering Hunger. She would later meet a blue-haired woman named Azura, who has a song can do something similar to that effect. While it umtimately did nothing, the two did exchange songs on a lark.
- Is basically a seven-year-old at heart, due to her body having undergone accelerated aging/genetic shenanigans as the Cyber Shaman. This makes what Heat did to her way back when (a forceful kiss) much creepier, and Chris Hansen gave him (and Serph) a severe warning, even if none of them are technically over 12. Because of years of experimentation, she could barely survive the Pantheon without the fluids from the EGG where she was used for communicating with Brahman. Fortunately, the House of Health and Diseases have made many treatments and therapies to remedy that.
- She was a youth who had an adult who acted kindly to her, manipulating her feelings and promising her treats in exchange for favors. She had thought that she and the adult loved each other, while the adult's co-worker watched the almost-flirting with disgust. While Dr. Sheffield was certainly abusing Sera's powers, there are those who also interpret his actions as molestation, and she was very quickly educated on what exactly that entailed. As such, she's earned condolences from Casca, Sakura Matou, Ellen of the Five Survivors and Tess Durbeyfield, and really dislikes Griffith, Shinji Matou, and Ethan Roark Junior.
- Exclusive to Roland:
- Roland is the leader of Lokapala, one of the last resistance groups against the Karma Society. He inherited it and guardianship over Fred after he fled a mission gone wrong and abandoned the original leader Greg (Fred's father), resulting in the other man's death. A classically trained author, he fell into despair and became an alcoholic following the death of his friend, and unconvinced in his own ability to lead the Lokapala. But after meeting the Embryon, he sobered up and injected himself with the demon virus at Fred's prompting, gaining the "Lightning Bolt" Atma that allows him to transform into Indra. With it, he regained his courage to fight and help avenge his fallen comrades.
- With the use of interpretation of what constitutes as Data, Roland is able to power things with electricity and use his will to command consoles
. This only works because of his cognition and from everything he knows of his world. This talent cannot be replicated by just any other electric-user, and those that do won't be doing it the same way as Roland does.

Hmm, seems good to me.
Also, I got a proposal for a rework.
Dark Schneider and Lucien Renlen, Divine Pair of Being Imprisoned Inside a Person
- Reasoning: It's an early profile with very short paragraphs and very few informations about him and interactions. Dark Schneider is an absurdly powerful sorcerer who once tried to take over the world and whose soul now reside in the meek and childish boy Lucien, with a magical seal placed on the later to keep him from being released until very recently. Along with the reworking, I want to add Lucien because he's said 'person-shaped can'. Furthermore, since he's in truth the amnesiac incarnation of the Archangel Lucifer, who wished to rejoin the fragment of his soul that is Dark Schneider, he could be argued to be a double example of this trope.
As a side-note, Physical Appearance doesnt seem like a really good fit for this trope. My mind is kinda defaulting to Criminal Punishment because it's about imprisonment, but does anyone think another hall might fit it better?

, and uncertain on whether that's the better Hall
Here are a couple of Monument Mythos ideas. Don't worry, it's from an already done spin-off of sorts
- The Moon God, God of Superpowered Historical Figures: the Nixonverse is named after Richard Nixon. In the Nixonverse Nixon is the equivalent of God, who lives on the Moon. To test humanity he made three extensions of himself, all of whom are expies of the DC Trinity. Nixon himself is a Dr Manhattan Expy. Technically he's from an Alternate History where he lost to James Dean, but he is still a version of Richard Nixon that became a Reality Warper
- The Last Son Of Alcatraz, God of Becoming Evil Not Out Of Choice (Hall of Alignment Changes)-the Superman Substitute of the Nixonverse seems like a Corrupted Character Copy in a Superhero Horror. In actuality, he started as a genuine hero but he was controlled by the US government into a deranged parody of Christ. He tried isolating himself after regaining his mind, but was controlled by the Lunarians and becomes the Crescent King. Eventually a life of tragedy breaks him and turns him into the new Horned Serpent. Things get so bad that "God"/AU Richard Nixon is forced to render the timeline as fiction to prevent further suffering

- Conflicting Opinion: The Park and Kim Families
- Margaret Mildred Kittredge is a young girl from the 1930s who initially led a normal, carefree life in Cincinnati, Ohio and, unlike most girls her age, had a strong zeal for adventure and curiosity, which eventually led her to develop an interest in journalism and investigation, desiring to become a reporter for the Cincinnati Register, regardless of whether the staff underestimate her due to her age. She got her nickname, "Kit" through a combination of a reference to her mother’s name and through the song Pack Up Your Troubles in Your Old Kit-Bag, which her father used to sing to her during childhood. Unfortunately around the time she wanted to prove herself, The Great Depression was starting to take effect, causing several of her friends to lose their homes and her family to be in jeopardy of going through the same situation when they start losing money. This further motivated Kit to prove herself as a competent reporter, a goal that proved tougher as she wound up going through a series of events alongside her friends, Ruthie Smithens and Stirling Brown, that involved a lot of unscrupulous and criminal acts. Even so, she was able to prove her worth and Kit is ultimately able to be properly recognized by the Cincinnati Register alongside keeping her family financially secure during the dark times of the 1930s, though Kit would see herself going through a few more adventures and travels.
- Thanks to her tales and exploits, Kit was able to develop a likable reputation in Cincinnati, being a reputable reporter, a girl who was willing to help others as much as she does wanting to write a good story for her desired occupation. The fact that this was during the Great Depression, a time of great desperation and misfortune for Americans meant that she was seen as a bright star in a dark time for many. It was because of these qualities that Kit was recognized by a divine world known as the Pantheon, who deemed her worthy of being an ascended representative. This came in the form of an award cheque by an anonymous figure that Kit would receive after one of her more recent exploits and while initially skeptical, the girl proved feisty enough to give it a shot about what the Pantheon was about, albeit under the permission of her family. This led her to a rather spectacular scene that involved a very polished and grand building and a more sophisticated interior, a sight that proved a lot to take in for Kit, for she was looking at the House of Jobs and Profession. Amazed by the opportunity she was provided with, plus some words of encouragement from some of the deities she would encounter, she declared it an honor to be a part of the Pantheon and is eagerly looking forward to more adventures and exploits she can experience in the divine realms.
- Kit is an honest and sociable girl, helped by the fact that she was raised by hard-working parents and her interests approved by her older brother. Though unlike most girls her age, she doesn't take an interest in girly stuff and activities and prefers more physical and daring stuff, the kind that boys are more likely into, making Kit a tomboy, even if she has an affinity for dance. Of course, her interest in having adventures and more “rougher” activities compared to other girls led to her having a pretty feisty and determined attitude, which helped greatly in her desire to do reporting. Complimenting her determined nature is a desire to do right, greatly sympathizing with those who were impoverished (better known as “hobos” during the 1930s), and uncovering the truth about events, even if she potentially found herself in several risky situations because of it, considering she's seen the effects and consequences of debt and poverty first-hand and wrote her first big report specifically on the oppressive treatment of hobos and how society needs to be better. Finally, Kit’s biggest motivation is to provide for her family whom she is close, especially her father whom she idolizes and looks up to above all else, to the point where much of Kit’s hobbies and personality traits are inspired by her old man.
- One of Kit’s defining traits is a desire to travel and witness the outside world as much as she can, and the Pantheon provided a very good opportunity to further her desire for such. Needless to say, Kit was a bit overwhelmed by just how much she was getting to see in the divine realms and admitted that she's a sucker for wanting to go to the Houses of Nature and Locations and Settings just to get a good glimpse at a thick forest or an expansive countryside. To her delight, Kit found herself making friends with similar-minded girls like Heidi and Merida, who were just as adventurous as Kit and came to respect her desire for a good journey. Kit was also eager to write a story about girls who liked to wander in the outdoors like Heidi and Merida and the two were open to supporting her endeavors. Dora the Explorer was another Outdoorsy Gal like Kit and although the former had some girly antics, she got along with the latter pretty well, not to mention Kit has had some experience in dealing with animals, with her having a pet dog named Bessie being a notable indicator, plus she thought that spending some time with Dora might help her with learning about new animals and potentially handling them.
- Befitting for a tomboy, Kit doesn't express much in the way of “flouncy” stuff like her friend Ruthie does, even if their friendship is indelible. Instead of playing with dolls or trying to look fancy, she would rather play baseball either in her neighborhood or at the House of Sports, which she has taken a liking to and is interested in the many physical activities that are showcased. And to her fortune, much of the Pantheon was very welcoming of assertive, independent girls like Kit, and she was happy to meet more people who resembled her in personality, hobbies, and demeanor, such as Chie Satonaka and Kagura, who were all quite sporty and were eager to train Kit in her sports interests, given her younger age, plus Chie herself is impressed by the adventures Kit has gone through due to their similarities of having to do their detective work, albeit at least Kit didn't have to deal with a potential murder case and discovering supernatural dark forces, though the younger girl would have thought of the idea of investigating such to be good, if too risky of a challenge for her to take. Although unicorns and the like were more on the girly side of things, Kit liked Rainbow Dash quite a lot as both were competitive and liked a good adventure to get themselves involved in, with the alicorn being eager to hang out with Kit and get her accustomed to Equestria whenever the kid reporter develops an interest in visiting it.
- Kit loves having an adventure more than anything else and it's a major reason for why she opted to get into reporting in the first place. Although the Pantheon proved to be a very expensive realm, many still considered it a very dangerous place to venture out in, which annoyed Kit as she made it clear that she didn't want to be huddled up in her domain for too long. Thankfully, there were places in the divine realms that were considered safe for traveling and adventuring in (for the most part), and there were kids around her age or even younger who had a zeal for long and exciting journeys. Two of those kids, Jack and Annie, tended to occupy a treehouse where they started their adventures by being transported to the past via books, and there was a quartet that was composed of four kids who worked under the Pennsylvania Gazette and covered the American Revolution. Both parties got Kit thinking about the possibility of going back in time to either witness or cover famous historical events, something she would gladly enjoy, though given the perils of traveling in a new world and in a different time-period, she quickly realized that she would need to be better prepared to deal with them. Of course, Kit admitted to all six of them about how she enjoys their tales and wishes to work or journey alongside them, much to their delight as they are eager to have Kit as a friend and fellow explorer once she builds up enough experience. On a more traditional note, Kit also became fast friends with Harriet Welsch and Dora the Explorer for largely having similar personality traits and for their outgoing attitude, in addition to being eager to try helping anyone if they can, even if it means endangering themselves.
- As a Daddy's Girl, Kit prefers to take up her traits and preferences based on what her father would have been into. She's aware that her old man was a soldier who fought during the Great War and had seen and done things no one has to go through, but that didn't stop Kit from loving her dad anyway. Much like her, there were girls in the Pantheon who were closer to their dads regarding family and it also helped that Kit was friends with many of them like Merida and Paula who were very close with their fathers and part of their motivations were to help and provide for their family, and especially for their old man. As a result, Kit enjoys her time visiting the House of Family and Relatives and she knows that most of the residents there are aware of what kind of girl she is based on her relationship with her father and acknowledge for interests and traits in high regard, not to mention she has a pretty good reputation in the Hall of Fathers.
- Having seen the events and effects caused by The Great Depression first-hand, Kit expresses sympathy towards those who have lost their homes and jobs due to circumstances out of their control and she is all too familiar with the mental pain and frustration one goes through in losing whatever they hold dear. Thankfully, her ambition to become a reporter wasn’t entirely stopped by her household suddenly becoming poor and desperate to earn whatever they could to still have a roof. While the Pantheon seems rather well-established and the Houses of Commerce and Jobs and Profession appearing to be in stable condition, Kit did speculate once about the possibility of a similar event going down in the divine realms and how financially disastrous it could be for the residents in a place like the Pantheon. On a personal note, Kit was able to befriend Ann Darrow, an actress from New York City who was also desperate to find a role after the Great Depression deprieved her career choices and the younger girl does hope that the older actress finds a way to get back to stardom, especially after what she’s been through. Things were more complicated with Carl Denham, a director who took Ann along to a mysterious island where he wanted to record an “authentic” film, only to bring back a giant ape named Kong, which only led to further disaster and although Carl has been meaning to become a better person, Kit is unsure of whether she could approach him, admitting that Denham does upset and disappoint the girl, though she does wish he could prove himself. With other figures from the Depression era, such as Alfred Kralik and Klara Novak, Kit found their story an exciting one to look into and she was able to get along with their company mainly due to the three of them being hard-working individuals with their passions and zeal for life. She would also be aware of how desperate and ruthless criminals could be in times of strife thanks to personal experience and it is because of this that she tends to keep her distance from Tommy Angelo, given his reputation as a rat for a notorious mafia family, whose ruthlessness and desperation were exacerbated by the effects of the Great Depression. While Tommy respects Kit’s determination and desire to do good, he would rather keep Kit out of his presence as he feels that he still has enemies from mafia families to deal with, feeling that becoming closely acquainted with a little girl would get her into trouble with his enemies and Tommy simply couldn’t risk that.
- Because of her father being forced to find another job, her brother being busy with college, and her mother having to take care of the household, Kit became the main breadwinner of her family, noting down anything she saw in her travels and turning it into a news story to report it to the Cincinnati Register, even if the overall payment wasn't too much. Even if she wasn't the only child in the Pantheon to serve as a family’s main income provider, Kit doesn't take such a reputation as a compliment as she prefers to see her reporting job as more of a hobby and being forced to do paid work at a young age isn't ideal for anybody around Kit’s age. This is why she was surprised to hear of Parvana Alizai as while she was similarly pushed into being the family breadwinner, her circumstances were much more dire and perilous than Kit would have expected as unlike the American girl, Parvana was forced to deal with misogyny and hence had to dress as a boy to get around on that. Ochaco Uraraka was a bit more different in that despite her family’s less-than-stellar income, she decided to enroll in a school that would train and raise her to be a superheroine and her main goal was to provide money for her family, even if she would prove herself to be a very selfless and compassionate hero in her own right. Kit has nothing but admiration for Parvana and Uraraka and while she thinks the former would provide great writing material, she'd rather be friends with Parvana due to their slightly shared circumstances as well as proving herself resourceful in desperate times. While the concept of superheroes is a fairly new concept from her perspective, Kit liked Uraraka’s quirk abilities and is eager to learn more about superheroes as they appealed to her interests.
- With her passion for reporting and investigating, Kit visits the Hall of Investigative Work frequently and while popular enough for someone her age, she does feel that there are some better reporters and journalists whom she could take an apprenticeship under in the hopes of improving her skills and confidence before moving on to more “daring” reports. With that in mind, Lois Lane was one of the first that Kit was willing to meet up with, given her reputation as a Pulitzer Prize winner and being known for partaking in incredibly risky and life-threatening events to get the best scoop possible. Both got along well and Lois even got Kit to meet her husband and fellow journalist, Clark Kent, who was very much appreciative of Kit’s writing talent and is eager to encourage the girl to try her best, though he and Lois do tell her to be careful about what she goes through. A similar friendship was also formed with Peter Parker despite leaning more toward photojournalism, helped by the fact that the older man struggles with paying for his income. Still, Kit was a little amazed by how there was the opportunity to take colored and clearer photos and thanked Peter for inspiring her to be more willing to take photos and record videos partly to make memories with her family and friends as much as make convincing evidence for her work. She does find Peter’s senior, J. Jonah Jameson, to be a pain to deal with given his very gruff and abrasive attitude, though Jameson does admit that Kit has a talent for a girl her age and expects her to be better, even if she can be annoying to him. Finally, she is aware of a darker side to journalism and quickly came to dislike Aya Shameimaru upon looking into one of her stories and quickly finding it “nonsense” due to it exaggerating several events and people of interest, and she would very much keep her distance from Diana Christensen after learning just how unfettered she is in getting her stories and the sheer remorselessness she has in endangering and demoralizing people to get what she wants.
- Given her interest in writing, Kit is very eager to visit the House of Narrative, feeling that she could either try to get teaching classes to improve her literary skills or see newer typewriter models to hopefully save up money. She was a bit surprised to learn that typewriters would become obsolete decades later, with computers, particularly keyboards and digital documents becoming the best available tools to write and note down one's writing for most people. As she was a girl from the 1930s, Kit admitted that it would take a while to get used to new technology decades ahead of her time, even if she liked the capabilities of what computers and digital devices are capable of. On a personal note, Kit became friends with Shizuku Tsukishima as both of them were aspiring writers, even if they were working on a different medium and audience, given that Shizuku wanted to write a fictional work, but where Kit wrote reports to provide for her family as well as out of personal interest, Shizuku was purely focused on the latter and allowed her obsession with books to take over her mind and cause her well-being and relationship with others to deteriorate, though thankfully Shizuku has since grown out of that and strives to be more careful about herself. The two girls would like to learn a thing or two about each other's writing skills and how they’re inspired, hoping that they could learn from that, and it helps that Kit and Shizuku enjoy each others’ works.
- As her family fell into poverty because of the effects of The Great Depression and interacting with the poor and helpless first-hand (then-derisively known as “hobos”), Kit has a measure of sympathy for them and once tried to help out a young pair of “hobos” named Will and Countee even if the public majority deemed them as a menace for the homeless constantly attacking others and stealing their money and possessions. With Kit having proven Will innocent of a theft crime framed at him and writing a very successful story that sympathized with “hobos”, she managed to earn the respect of her senior staff and impress her family and friends. In the Pantheon, Kit was surprised to see that even in a “godly realm”, poverty, homelessness, and hobos were still a common sight in several places, though many of the “poverty-stricken” deities in the Hall of Poverty and Riches came to like and respect Kit for taking a sympathizing stance for them, with Oliver Twist and Charlie Bucket being very eager to meet and become friends with a fellow girl who could understand their plight and worked hard to make a better living for themselves. The three kids often hang out together and while they would love to have an adventure, Kit is aware that Oliver and Charlie do have their matters to deal with, When hearing about the Little Match Girl, Kit was sad to hear her tale, but at the same time, her being in the Pantheon was a second chance and Kit was determined to at least meet and befriend the Match Girl one day and assure that she will always have company and loved ones to lean onto. On the other hand, the Park and Kim families were much harder for Kit to understand; while one was rich and the other poor, it would be natural for Kit to feel sympathetic for the latter until she learned about how ruthless and cutthroat they were in trying to sabatogue the former out of spite and desperation, even when the Kims were skilled enough to earn themselves legitimate jobs. While the Parks’ elitist reputation, especially perpetrated by their patriarch, Park Dong-ik, meant that Kit would have a hard time getting along with them, she also noted that they’re just as unhappy as people, but are too stubborn to properly open up with others. Overall, Kit is a bit intimidated by the circumstances between the two families and while she doesn’t like the Park parents and feels bad for the youngsters, she can’t help but speculate if the Kim Family’s actions would further perpetrate the reputation of the poor and “hobos” as being aggressive and unruly.
- Much like other girls her age, Kit likes fictional stories and fables, always happy to have them read to her by someone, usually her father. Unlike most girls, especially those from her time and place, Kit isn’t into traditional fairytales, seeing them as more appealing to someone like her best friend, Ruthie, and while many of them do exist in the Pantheon, Kit isn’t interested in meeting them either, either if she admits to respecting them for their heroic actions and providing some sort of Aesop. Instead, Kit has a fascination for more daring and adventurous folklore characters and tales and cites them as a big influence for her interest in reporting and going on adventures. One of her favorites is the tale of Robin Hood, given his shtick of stealing from the filthy rich and giving to the needy poor as his way of helping others and the fact that he, too, was in the Pantheon, excited Kit as she felt that being in the same world as one of her favorite characters was “super cool” and wishes to one day meet the fabled figure. Additionally, there were other Robin Hood-esque figures like Sly Cooper and his gang, which also intrigued Kit, though she is a bit annoyed that they don’t have the best reputation due to the Cooper Gang being considered fugitives for much of their career. Thanks to her interests, Kit wonders if she’ll practice archery one day, and though she likes Robin Hood, Sly, and other figures based on and inspired by the former, she admits that it’s unlikely she’ll be visiting the Hall of Thieves anytime soon for several reasons including worrying her loved ones and getting in trouble with authorities for going to a crime-filled place.

- Raiden is the God of Thunder and the longtime Protector of Earthrealm, being a guiding figure to all the warriors from the realm and an active figure in saving it. Having been elected to represent Earthrealm in the Mortal Kombat tournament hosted by Outworld, Raiden would gather various warriors from his realm to compete for centuries until finally finding an apprentice and surrogate son in Liu Kang, training and raising him to be Earthrealm's champion, and ultimately succeeding. Unfortunately, conflicts between the realms persisted when his arch-rival, Shao Kahn, demanded another tournament, followed by an all-out invasion when even that failed. Despite defeating Shao, Raiden would then have to contend against Shinnok, a fallen Elder God who sought the dominance of the Netherrealm by destroying all other realms, but although Raiden led his forces to defeat him too, his plights weren't finished due to the looming occurrence of Armageddon, where every kombatant would fight and die in an attempt to either save the realms or gain ultimate power. Unfortunately, Shao Kahn won and taunted Raiden of his own victory as the Thunder God was left wrecked and defeated without a chance to fight back.
- Before dying, Raiden used his amulet to send a message to his past self to let him know that "he must win", but although the message was received, Raiden would find difficulty trying to decipher just who was the person his future self was referring to. With those three words, Raiden and Liu Kang worked together with their allies to change the flow of events and consequences, even if a few were doomed to be repeated. Unfortunately, Raiden’s trouble in understanding what his future version meant by “he must win” caused him to make several judgemental and misplaced errors in his plans to avert Armageddon, and by the end, nearly every warrior from his side was killed, followed by Liu Kang losing his faith and trust and even after that, The Chosen One would be accidentally killed, his last words condemning Raiden for being the cause of all the disasters he was trying to avoid. Though Raiden realized that who "he must win" actually meant Shao by allowing him to merge Outworld and Earthrealm without consent, thus incurring the Elder Gods’ wrath and later defeating and killing the invasive tyrant, Raiden was left broken and jaded by all the mistakes and tragedies he went through, not helped by now having to prepare for a future invasion by Shinnok years later. Although he would also successfully stop the fallen Elder God with the help of old and new defenders, he would be corrupted by the Jinsei’s tainting via Shinnok attempting to use it to destroy the realms and decided to remodel himself as Dark Raiden, a lethal defender who would destroy other realms if they so much as threatened Earthrealm in any way. However, events perpetrated by Kronika, the Titan Keeper of Time, caused Dark Raiden to be erased from existence and be replaced by a past version who was in the midst of Shao’s Mortal Kombat tournament in Outworld. Realizing the stakes of the situation Kronika had created, Raiden opted to help out defenders, old and new as much as he could, ultimately culminating in his decision to merge with Liu Kang both to eliminate his Revenant iteration in the present and to bestow his apprentice with the powers of a god necessary to defeat Kronika, causing the emergence of Fire God Liu Kang. Although the process rendered him a mortal, Raiden was nevertheless happy and proud of his mentor for succeeding him and doing the best he could to ensure the peace and safety of the realms and is content to oversee his former apprentice and serve his role as a protector.
- Given his primordial nature as a Thunder God, it is unclear when and how Raiden ascended into the Pantheon, but given his involvement in grand battles against Good, Evil, Chaos, and Order before an eventual ceasefire, it is clear that the Thunder God was one of the divine realms’ earliest deities to be properly recognized. As far as Raiden is concerned, so much time has passed since his involvement in the titanic wars the Pantheon endured that he is at peace with how there are now new developments and advancements going on, a welcoming sign of societal progress and peace, one that he is dedicated to overseeing and keeping preserved. Befitting of his status as a veteran warrior and possessing great knowledge over worlds, the Thunder God has been a close confidant of Cosmos, seeing her as a fellow deity worthy of praise and commitment, and continues to take Cosmos’s orders and advice in urgent situations. Regardless of whether they’re in an era of peace, dangers, and threats of growing villainous powers keep Raiden alert and he is determined to put a stop to them before they get out of hand, though fortunately, an ever-growing rate of heroes and defenders means Raiden can take some stress off and focus on his own needs, namely as a mentor who could look after and train them in the ways of kombat and discipline. The Thunder God hopes that his teachings and influence play a big part in the Pantheon and is more than willing to look after and mentor his newfound allies whenever he can manage it as a way of atoning for his past mistakes.
- Befitting his reputation and status as a god, Raiden is a powerful warrior with incredible power and mastery of his electrokinetic capabilities. He is a proficient martial artist with centuries of combat experience and is quite flexible in using his electrical powers ranging from forming blasts and shockwaves to creating blades and barriers and even allowing for flight, though as someone who has chosen a physical avatar to interact with the realms directly, Raiden has much of his full power sealed, only being released if a situation proves too dire for him to manage, but as demonstrated earlier, the Thunder God gets around with his creativity and experience. Outside of kombat, the Thunder God, despite his awesome might and reputation, is a humble and polite man when met in person. He would normally either seek the least aggressive way of ending conflicts and troubles, regardless of whether he needs to use violence, take the time to contemplate and praise his allies, offer them advice and suggestions, and be willing to be on the front lines if it means protecting them. Overall, he is an honorable and considerate deity who has done enough to win the respect of many in the Pantheon, though Raiden makes it clear that regardless of his successes, his vast list of failures means that he still has a good deal to work on if he ever truly needs to feel that he's improved himself. Still, he is glad of the support he's had in the Pantheon and makes it clear that despite his ferocity in kombat, his first desire is to protect and mentor, above everything else.
- On the subject of kombat, Raiden would personally see it as something that one must partake in if they feel the desire to protect the realms from threats and destruction, and considering his centuries-long experience, he has gathered a lot of allies from this as well as many enemies. Of course, he is proud to see that Liu Kang is willing to honor his master’s influence and actions upon becoming Fire Lord, though Raiden is still willing to fight and work alongside his apprentice to make the Pantheon a safe and better place. Along the way are further kombatants, defenders of Earthrealm, Outworld, Edenia, and other realms, chief among them being his younger brother and Wind God, Fujin. Raiden is happy to learn that he isn't alone and that most of his chosen warriors have a place in the divine realms and seeks to look after them anytime he can and while he is aware that many of his more personal foes, especially Shao and Shinnok are also in the Pantheon, Raiden can take solace in that he has far more allies capable of driving them back from causing further destruction and subjugation. On the other hand, former enemies like Kotal Kahn and Baraka have been working to rebuild and develop a working relationship with the Thunder God respectively, and while the latter admits that it would take some time to get adjusted due to his Tarkat influence, Raiden has confidence that Baraka can hopefully turn out to be a force for good in the future.
- The Pantheon was all too familiar with the concept of fighting tournaments and competitions; Mortal Kombat happened to be among the more famous ones due to the grand scope of its result, something that Raiden has no pride in expressing despite being a notable combatant in. The House of Fighting and Combat was a major distributor for tournaments and was a place that many fighters would often compete and train in, a very quick observation Raiden made during its early years. Fortunately, the House, alongside most tournaments, was settled non-lethally and Raiden is sometimes called to observe battles and to offer his thoughts. He's since become a notable and popular presence thanks to his words of encouragement towards most fighters and for being fair and reasonable in conversing about how battles should be settled. He likes the World Martial Arts Tournament for being genuine and authentic about their fighters and even struck an Odd Friendship with Mark Satan, finding his goofy attitude to be humorous and sensing that beneath his nervous and shrewd demeanor, he has a good heart, something that the champion has greatly appreciated.
- While he is aware that there are enthusiastic and good-hearted tournament announcers and hosts, Raiden is disgruntled at how many in the Pantheon are still malicious and cruel figures who only host them for either self-serving or ruinous purposes and being reminded of Shao makes the Thunder God incredibly irked. Of the villainous hosts he's met in the Pantheon, he despises Cell above most, seeing him as an abomination far worse than anything made by the Cyber Lin Kuei and makes it clear that he intends to destroy the omnicidal bio-android before he even tries to host tourneys and follow them up of terrifying and killing people for enjoyment’s sake. Cell merely scoffed at Raiden, though admitted that he could pack a punch when the latter did confront and do battle against the former at one point and looks forward to meeting the Thunder God again for another good fight, a sentiment that Raiden does not share kindly. He also disliked Rugal Bernstein, Heihachi Mishima, and M. Bison for being overly ambitious in their evil, feeling that Rugal and Bison were unnatural threats that were too depraved to be left out at any moment and just being disappointed at Heihachi for being an awful parent and paying the price for it through his son, Kazuya, whom the Thunder God treats with wary and caution due to his connection to the Devil Gene. Finally, while not necessarily tournament Hosts nor truly evil, Raiden wasn't a fan of Wiz and Boomstick’s battle simulations, finding them uninspiring and too juvenile, considering the premise of “who is the most powerful combatant”. He doesn't care that he lost to Thor in one such simulation, but he does feel that Wiz and Boomstick are too obsessed with their supposed research to do anything else that would be more productive in his eyes.
- Suffice it to say, Raiden is not fond of gladiatorial hostings and matches, given how they're almost exactly like the Mortal Kombat tournaments he participates in. To him, it's just over-glorifying the idea of killing others and making yourself feel superior, and given how Shang and Shao were much like this, his critical judgment about it is understandable according to many. Raiden immediately felt disdain and revulsion towards Mongul, finding his gladiator matches to be disgusting and not unlike the tourneys Shao held, and given the vast depravity the ruler of Warworld has shown, the Thunder God has no compunctions about killing him if necessary. Similarly, while he pities Shiro Kanzaki for wanting to save his sister, he feels that the Rider War held in 2003 was rather excessive and makes it clear that he doesn't approve of it. Takeshi Asakura, a participant said Rider War was worse, being a serial killer who only joined for the sake of fighting and killing others. In a way, Asakura reminded Raiden of Kano thanks to their remorselessness about their actions and for being opportunistic fiends, except Asakura wanted nothing in the way of an alliance, only blood and glory and the Thunder God, again, is willing to kill him if he ever dares to endanger lives to satisfy his murderous urges. Fortunately, Raiden has found new friends in two other Rider War participants, namely Shinji Kido and Ren Akiyama, citing the two as brave and capable warriors and while fighting isn't everything they focus on, the Thunder God supports their desires to lead a normal and healthy life, even if they're willing to use their Rider powers if necessary. Raiden does hope to mentor and support Shinji and Ren as much as he can, however.
- Given what he has gone through and what he has witnessed, Raiden has a great deal of respect for warriors who were just as compassionate and charitable as they were powerful and skilled, seeing them as worthy of their reputation. Fujin and Kuai Liang did tell him that he was likely projecting his view towards Liu Kang based on this, to which Raiden confirmed such as stating that if this was the case, then he would have a reason for why he would approve of them. One figure that Raiden came to really like was Son Goku, a Saiyan with a passionate streak of fighting, yet had a level of charm and enthusiasm that won him many friends and has built himself up to be a defender of Earth and even his universe. Although Raiden found his desire for battle a little bit awkward, especially considering Goku did want to fight Raiden and Liu Kang on their first visit, they still got along rather well and Raiden desires to instill some lessons for Goku to ensure he doesn't make the same mistakes he did. The Saiyan warrior affirmed that he was aware of the dangers being a defender can entail, but thanked the Thunder God for his concern. It helps that both he and Goku are on good terms with Mr. Satan and are willing to fight against Cell together if need be. Raiden also has a level of respect for fighters like Ryu and Kasumi for their spirited nature and a desire to do the right thing, even if he expresses caution for the former struggling to keep hold of the Satsui no Hado. While not fond of gladiatorial games, the Thunder God has given his approval to Shinji Kido and Ren Akiyama for their combat capability and striving for a good cause even with all the hardship that came with being a participant in a deathmatch.
- Given his own experience as a mentor, Raiden is seen as an honorary patron for the House of Legacy and Influence and he enjoys his time there as it means he can relax and even find a few warriors he could impart some advice to. He is aware that there are evil deities who dwell in the House, but they're fortunately too absorbed in their ambitions to be of direct interference and Raiden can personally deal with them elsewhere. He became very good friends with Obi-Wan Kenobi thanks to their relatability as powerful and trustworthy mentors and even bonded over being burdened by their failures. There's also the fact that the two of them were members of an influential and powerful order that wound up becoming incredibly flawed, to which Raiden and Obi-Wan admitted that had they been a bit more proactive, they likely would have been able to stop the threats they were fighting against for so long. As for the Skywalkers, Raiden is one of the few to be on good tabs with Anakin, even if he's aware of his alter-ego of Darth Vader, believing that his redemption is genuine and he can prove it to the Pantheon and is a staunch supporter of Luke as he reminds the Thunder God of Liu Kang and is willing to help him in imparting some wisdom, rebuilding the Jedi Order, and protecting the divine realms, with Luke being thankful for Raiden's support. Finally, having personally met Batman before, Raiden, in addition to knowing of his true identity as Bruce Wayne, has approved of his support of his sidekicks, namely Dick Grayson and Damian Wayne. The Thunder God is a bit wary of their occupations, especially given Gotham City's corrupted nature, their nature of getting into incredibly dangerous situations, and the latter's precocious youth, but given how they've proven themselves to be capable and effective in their heroic actions, Raiden is confident that they could prove themselves worthy of being the Dark Knight's successors.
- Despite being a god, Raiden admits that he is far more attuned to humanity than a usual deity would, helped by the fact that he opted to directly participate in Mortal Kombat and take a human guise to do so. While Fujin is more open about his interest in humanity, Raiden supports his younger brother for his stance and he sees a lot of potential in humanity despite his godhood. To that end, he has a great deal of appreciation for the Houses of Death and Postmortem and Life and Vitality as both of them have a theme in mortality means Raiden can interpret such as a reminder of how valuable a human life can be. He's also aware of the responsibilities godhood can have and respects some deities for trying to hold on to that. This is how he became friends with Asura as despite his fearsome reputation of being someone defined by his absolute rage, he was a being who sought justice for his daughter Mithra and would sacrifice his own life if it meant giving his little girl a happy life, and the Thunder God saw that as a noble attribute. A similar sentiment is also shared with Sigmar Heldenhammer, a man who started as a noble barbarian before he became a source of hope for his tribesman and proved enough influence to create an Empire and later become a powerful god with powers over lightning. Both warriors commend each other for their bravery and while Sigmar is sympathetic to the sacrifices Raiden went through, the God-Emperor asserts that he still has people counting on him, which the Elder God nodded with approval.
- Having seen the apathy and inactivity of the Elder Gods one too many times and feeling that their lack of action has led to much strife and misery throughout the realms, Raiden developed a very critical perspective on his kin in at least two timelines, both of which saw him snap and becoming Dark Raiden, feeling that he needs to take a proactive stance in defending Earthrealm, even if it meant threatening the destruction of other realms to ensure such. This cynicism towards the gods is something he would have in common with Kratos, the Ghost of Sparta, who would not agree with Dark Raiden’s methods given how oppression was something very much used by the Greek Gods Kratos knew. Fortunately, Raiden and Kratos were unlikely friends as the former was one of the few who sympathized and offered a measure of respect for the latter, a gesture the Ghost of Sparta was surprised by. With more recent events seeing Kratos take on a more active approach to heroism and benevolence, his friendship with Raiden has since strengthened and both have supported each other for taking steps to better their worldview perspectives and defending the Pantheon. On the other hand, Zamasu was a former Kai who, like Raiden, developed grievances for his fellow kind for their inactivity, but instead of reeling back and realizing the extremity of his ways, he doubled down on them becoming a genocidal, deluded narcissist who wouldn't stop his ambitions until all whom he deemed mortals were exterminated, though he admitted that Dark Raiden impressed him to some degree by taking matters into his own hands. Raiden was shocked and disgusted by Zamasu for multiple reasons, most of all how he thought that genocide would genuinely lead to peace as well as the possibility of Dark Raiden being compared to him. Needless to say, Raiden has made it clear that the fallen Kai would die by his hands if they ever met while Zamasu considers the Thunder God a lost cause for simply taking up support for mortals when he should ideally be punishing them for “abusing” their gift of intelligence, which Raiden wasn't to listen to.
- Raiden is glad to see that not only does the Pantheon have a collection of benevolent gods who are more than supportive of their followers and many of the divine realm’s heroes, but also be willing to take action and be on the front lines if they can if it means they need additional support and a winning hand. Given how he's one of the Pantheon’s earlier beings, the Thunder God serves as one of Cosmos’s earliest and most trusted allies and has been a key participant in a good deal of battles where the Goddess of Good served as the main leader. With the Pantheon now in an age of relative peace and further development, it was through Cosmos’s advice that Raiden took to mentoring a new generation of warriors to prepare them for battle, but he also intends for them to lead lives of their own and hopefully, one where battles and wars don't mean everything. Among other gods who have gained the Thunder God’s favor and support were Mata Nui, Palutena, and Highfather, all of whom have aided Raiden at various points in the Pantheon and have worked together as a unifying force for fellow heroes and innocent civilians. Orion, the New God of War, similarly sees Raiden as a potential mentor and seeks to train under him as a way to better control his inner rage and bloodlust, and though the Thunder God retains his caution, he is more than willing to help a fellow god out in overcoming their personal issues and the two are confident that they could work well as comrades in arms, given their dedication to fight for a better world and sharing a good deal of mutual allies.
- If there were going to be benevolent deities in the Pantheon, then there was no shortage of malevolent gods either, and Raiden knew this would happen and took the time to prepare for the occasion he had to encounter and battle against one. While he has met Darkseid before and is aware of the vast power he holds, the Thunder God also had to contend against someone like Chakravartin, a supreme god who was completely apathetic and careless about the strife of the world, even being willing to destroy the universe and recreate it if he felt bored. The sheer lack of concern and care he held for creation, especially given his occupation as a creator, infuriated Raiden as this was something unexpected and completely against the line for a creator deity and although Chakravartin generally doesn't care much for the Thunder God, this is not a mutual feeling for Raiden as he is in support of Asura for putting a stop to Chakravartin’s actions as quickly as possible. He also sees Griffith and the Godhand as a perversion of godhood, given their origin of becoming one, and cites them as a dark parallel for Liu Kang, as while his protege became a god out of necessity and proved to be a benevolent force of good, the Godhand, especially Griffith, only did so for more power and influence and eagerly enjoy bringing misery to the world, and lastly, Nagash, despite his mortal origin, is more similar to Shinnok than anything else, namely wanting to destroy all life just to make themselves feel superior and uncaring of anybody, regardless of loyalty or opposition. Thankfully, Raiden’s growing list of allies meant that more enemies didn't make his presence in the Pantheon too stressful, even if he makes it clear he is more than willing to fight them if necessary.
- As a God of Thunder, Raiden is inclined to serve as an honorary patron for the Hall of Electricity and serve as an overseer there in the hopes that he could keep in check anyone with similar powers as he does. Raiden personally has no objections to such and generally visits the place to either train himself or to meditate and clear his mind, feeling that he must temper his wisdom and balance it with positive emotions like love and trust to be the best version of himself. Generally, most deities stay clear of the Thunder God, except for Eneru and Electro, both of whom feel that their presence is being intimidated and disturbed and the two have tried to attack Raiden on separate occasions. The Thunder God himself has nothing to say but disappointment towards Eneru for being an abusive and uncaring ruler much like Shao and towards Electro for failing to realize his potential and wasting his life on petty crime like Kano. On the other hand, Thor, a fellow God of Thunder, has nothing but respect for Raiden as do the electrokinetic superhero duo Static and Black Lightning, all of whom either see him as a worthy ally to work and fight alongside or as a potential mentor and teacher. Finally, despite their vast differences, Raiden respects Gunvolt for valuing compassion and trying to do the right thing despite his occupation as an assassin and even finds Pikachu to be an endearing creature given its playful nature and expressing loyalty towards anyone it sees as a compatible partner, with the Thunder God sometimes offering the Mouse Pokémon company in his domain.
- Sometime during the advancement age of the Pantheon, Raiden once discharged a strong electric blast during a battle against Cell, its power being vast enough to shock the skies for a brief moment. Although the battle ended in a stalemate with Cell retreating and Raiden recuperating from his wounds and exhaustion, he would receive a visitor who came to him after noticing said blast and catching its curiosity. As it turned out, the visitor was the Legendary Pokémon, Raikou, who while trotting through an open field, recognized that such an attack could only be released by someone worthy of submitting to as a partner and decided to investigate. Sensing the Thunder God’s power and authority, the Thunder Pokémon very quickly judged Raiden to be someone worthy of siding alongside and gave him a growl of approval. Raiden himself was surprised by the beast’s gesture, but accepted the Legendary Pokémon nevertheless, and once he recovered from his prior battle, the Thunder God decided to train and travel alongside his newfound companion, hoping to learn more about Raikou as well as further their potential bond. Over time, Raikou and Raiden became close partners, with the Thunder Pokémon very openly being affectionate and loyal towards his partner and the two have been noted to be a very powerful duo capable of shattering the skies with their electrical powers if they so desired, causing them to inspire an aura of awe and dread towards many.
- The weight of losing his friends and potentially almost dooming the world due to poor decision-making and lack of foresight weighed heavily on Raiden's mind, even if most of his allies were alive and well in the Pantheon. Even if some of his newfound allies, such as Thor could share this mutual grief, the Thunder God of Earthrealm stated that he needs to be very much careful and considerate about his comrades and his actions. It's one thing he shares with anyone who dons the Spider-Man mantle with Peter Parker being all too familiar with having to deal with enough suffering and develop a Guilt Complex over not stopping his foes in time and saving his loved ones. Raiden himself was observant enough to realize Spider-Man’s usually annoying wisecracks were one of his ways to deal with his issues and the Thunder God has since been one of the more tolerant figures regarding this, and though he is t one for humor, he and Peter have a measure of respect for each other and he’s also placed his faith and support for Miles Morales and an alternate version of Gwen Stacy, though he does want to make the effort of then having to grow past their feelings of guilt. Of course, Raiden is all too aware that there are many deities in the Pantheon who struggle to deal with excessive guilt and while he does seem to at least offer words of advice to help them out, knowing that he can't be within his company all the time, he is worried whether he's doing enough, which is something that Liu Kang told him not to stress on it too much and to simply put enough faith in himself and do the best he could.
- While Dark Raiden isn't seen (or at least recognized) in the Pantheon most of the time, Raiden himself does worry about the possibility of either encountering or becoming a more unscrupulous version of himself who will unhesitantly kill his oppressors and destroy an entire world to keep his own realm safe. He understands that his desire to protect the realms and acknowledge his comrades would remain, but he doesn't condone outright destruction and death as punishment nor resurrecting fallen souls solely under his servitude as Dark Raiden is shown doing and in the event a certain version shows up in the divine realms, Raiden will make it an effort to either convince them to step down or stop Dark Raiden with brute force if kombat is the only way to settle their dispute. This is also a reason why Raiden keeps tabs on Ryu and Jin Kazama as being all too familiar with one’s darker side means he wants to genuinely help Ryu and Jin out in managing and controlling their bad seeds. While Ryu is open to accepting Raiden’s help and support, Jin was more difficult to deal with as he is willing to kickstart a war to see if anyone possesses enough power to kill him and his father, Kazuya, all in the hopes of destroying the thread of the Devil Gene that both possess and is normally aloof and distant from Raiden’s advice and desire to help. Despite their inner demons, the Thunder God does desire that Jin may find peace and overcome the Devil Gene at some point.
- Given the situation regarding timelines and his situation with one thanks to the actions of Kronika, Raiden often visits the House of Time and Temporality to look out for any potential time divergences that could threaten the Pantheon and closely works with the Pantheonic Time Police as their dedication to keeping the main timeline secure and their reputation reminds the Thunder God of Earthrealm’s Special Forces. Befitting of their circumstances, he and Future Trunks have a good friendship and the latter is eager to work alongside a powerful and benevolent god who understands the stress and importance of protecting one’s world and similarly sharing the grief of losing their realms and friends, allowing the half-Saiyan and god to understand one another better than others would. The feeling is also mutual for Barry Allen and while the events of Flashpoint were of his own doing, he realized his mistake and tried to rectify it as much as he could and he is in support of Raiden’s efforts of protecting Earthrealm, even if he prefers to try ending conflicts without casualties. The Thunder God has seen himself battling against the Time Breakers on more than a few occasions though his main concern lies on The Devourer who acted much like Kronika in supposedly trying to keep the timeline stable but was trying to create a timestream that only ‘’he’’ liked, destroying and killing anyone who either dared to oppose him or cause some kind of alteration The Devourer didn't like, which caused enough concern for Raiden to confront and fight the omnicidal beast a couple of times. This was also the case with Lavos, a Planetary Parasite that judges life and morality through a twisted belief of strength and believing all life to be undeserving to live before they're all weaker than itself and proved invasive enough to be inhabiting and projecting its consciousness through several versions in different timestreams. Such was Lavos’s threat that Raiden opted for desperate to travel back in time specifically to combat the parasite and ensure the threat Lavos poses is neutralized.
- Even without the Pantheon, Raiden has been through different worlds with completely different kinds of figures, events, and deities. It's this way that he became acquainted with the DC Universe and is a frequent contact with the Justice League, even acting as an honorary member of its Dark iteration. Of course, this was how he came to learn about Darkseid, who collaborated with and eventually merged with Shao to become Dark Kahn, threatening two different sets of multiverses and forcing the League and realm defenders to work together to defeat him. With Darkseid still projecting an ominous presence and influence throughout the cosmos and inevitably, the Pantheon, Raiden is more than willing to either destroy or banish the Lord of Tyranny, clearly aware of his terrifying power and his endlessly dark ambitions of subjecting all of existence to his control and rulership. Darkseid personally sees the Thunder God as one of his more notable foes outside the New Gods and the Justice League and is eager to crush Raiden to get back at his loss of conquering Earthrealm. Although they haven't met before, Raiden intends to keep track of Galeem and Dharkon after learning of their aim to envelop a collection of merged worlds through absolute light and darkness respectively, and figuring that they want conquest and destruction for their own sake, not to mention correctly guessing that they wouldn't stop there either, and are all too willing to target Earthrealm, the other realms, and the entirety of the Pantheon if they can. For that, the Thunder God is preparing for the moment he has to face off against Galeem and Dharkon in the future, knowing that it would be a difficult endeavor for him and his allies to go through, but would carry on anyway for the safety of the Pantheon and all of its inhabitants.
- After the formation of Fire God Liu Kang and the defeat of Kronika, Raiden has since been reformed as a mortal. While a lot weaker, this iteration was given a normal, healthier life allowing him to stand out in comparison to his previous godly self despite being a martial arts master who still possessed electrokinesis. The mortal Raiden was Liu Kang's chosen champion who proved himself the best fighter Earthrealm has after defeating Outworld's strongest warriors in a tournament to prove the former realm as a worthy world who could prove themselves capable in combat. It was a strange paradox that two versions of Raiden existed, but it seems nothing troublesome has come out of it, much to the relief of both. Both iterations have a good friendship with Madoka Kaname who, surprisingly, had an inversive tale, namely a mortal becoming a god. The Thunder God has known the Magical Girl goddess for a good while and has always been supportive of Madoka's desires and ability to spread hope, while mortal Raiden senses that while she is a benevolent deity, he seeks Madoka to mentor him in the ways of wisdom, hoping to further understand why she was loved and revered in the Pantheon as well as personally learn more about Madoka's kind and the Pantheon at large. On another note, while the Thunder God pities Homura Akemi for taking a darker approach to her actions out of love and desperation, something he knows all too well regarding the latter, mortal Raiden is understandably more cautious and seeks to better train and strengthen himself before he could consider fighting against the fallen Magical Girl, even if he also pities her motives and desires. On a related note, versions of Raiden have also become well-acquainted with the Radiant Goddess and Ghaleon, the former having been through both mortality and godhood and the latter for seeing potential in humanity after initially being aloof towards them and choosing to guide them in his way, with Raiden being open to working alongside them.
- While the Thunder God was commanding and authoritative despite being rather cordial and nice for a deity, the mortal Raiden, in stark contrast, is an incredibly humble man. So humble that when Liu Kang approached him with the invitation to become his champion, Raiden stated that he was content enough with just working on an ordinary farm, despite possessing great talent. He's so humble that he doesn't really enjoy victories and becoming popular all that much. Still, he does disagree with his patron god's reason for giving him an ordinary life, namely to wash away the anger within him that could turn him into Dark Raiden, even if he understands why Liu Kang did it, feeling that it is better to train and channel that anger when necessary than to be completely away from it. His background has a lot in common with a few well-known heroes in the Pantheon, namely Superman and Grandmaster Skywalker, with the former having known Raiden even before the Pantheon and the latter being supportive of either version for their desire to help and retain their integrity for good. The mortal Raiden greatly enjoys Clark and Luke's company and admits that he would like to learn from the two of them to see how much could his powers and awareness of the divine realms increase, though efforts have been made by Raiden's friends to be a little indulgent and prideful for his actions, though not to a selfish degree, and to varying results at that.
So it's been a while from me huh. I just wanted to come and fix an outdated profile: Null Sector.
The short of it is that i'm adding Ramattra to the profile, since he's the leader. That will radically change the focus of that but they still fit Purple Is the New Black. Not only is purple the main color of the organization but also is a contrast to Ramattra's origins as a peaceful omnic that was driven to war.

Carry on with that

- Ultimecia is an immensely powerful sorceress. Long ago in the past, Ultimecia was driven to madness and hatred over the persecution of Witches, eventually growing to care for nobody but herself. She would devise a plan; The Time Compression spell which she planned to use to rule all of time by compressing it into one time period. Setting up the spell after being driven back in the past, Ultimecia would travel to the present, possessing female magic users, innocent and malevolent, to do her bidding. Eventually, she decides she’d rather destroy all of time using a Time Compression Spell to compress all of time into a single moment, and exist as the sole living lifeform. However, before she could complete the Time Compression Spell, she would be destroyed by a group of heroes led by Squall Leonheart.
Ultimecia pronounces hard "c" as "k". You should edit her entry quote. Other than that, I'm interested to see what else is there moving forward.
