Trope Pantheons Discussion

Go To

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

    Rules 
Rules. The following are not suggestions or tips, but things that have to be followed:
  • When writing a profile, take note of the following:
    • 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    • If you feel the need to remove a character for some reason (poor quality, outdated titles, etcetera) and replace him/her with another or outright rework, please see what the other tropers think about this in the discussion thread before doing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.
    • 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.
  • When posting in the forum, take note of the following:
    • When you suggest a God, please explain why they fit the trope. Not everyone is going to understand just "X should be the God of Y because they exemplify the trope" off the bat, especially if they're unfamiliar with the work.
    • You must use the Trope Pantheons discussion thread in the forums if you wish to add a new deity, story, something else of importance to the Trope Pantheon canon, or reworking an existing deity (be it simply improving their existing profile or changing their title).
      • For new and reworked deities, 3 [tup] means the profile will have a one-week waiting period.
      • For new and reworked deities, 4 [tup] is a 3 day waiting period.
      • 5 [tup] is an automatic ascension for new and reworked deities.
      • Speaking of reworks, for anyone that wants to improve such profiles, they have to review the current trope the character(s) has and see if it still holds up or if there is a better rep for their trope.
    • For adding new Treasures to The Great Treasury or new Dominions to the Dominions Expansion, the following rules apply:
      • For new Treasures or Dominions, 3 [tup] is a 3 day waiting period.
      • 4 [tup] is an automatic addition to the Great Treasury or Dominions.
    • Do not repost a profile in the forums more than twice 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 "[tup]" or "[tdown]".
    • 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.
    Instructions and Tips 
Here are some tips one should keep in mind when editing:
  • 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).
  • 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.
  • 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.
    Divine Ranking System 
  • 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.
    Templates 
Template for adding a new deity: God X, God/Goddess/Deity of (Insert Trope Here) (Alternate names/Nicknames, Fan Nickname)
  • An image, if possible. Please use official art or a screenshot for a picture.
  • Rank: This can range from Quasideity, Demigod, Lesser God, Intermediate God, Greater God, to Overdeity, based on 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.
Template for Dominions profiles: Place X, Place of (Insert Trope Here) (Alternate names/Nicknames, Fan Nickname)
  • An image, if possible. Please use official art or a screenshot for a picture.
  • Theme Song (Optional): Not important as compared to Deity and Dominion profiles but a notable mention if there is an accompanying song in use with the object.
  • Alignment: Refers to the dominion's role in their story, be it those used by villains or used by the Player Character.
  • Portfolio: Tropes associated with the dominion.
  • Domains: Things that the place has links to.
  • Relationships (Optional): Unless the location has a connection with a specific deity, relationships are optional and may not be required. However, if there are deities linked to the same series as 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.
Template for Treasure profiles: The name of the item in here (Alternate names/Nicknames, Fan Nickname)
  • An image, if possible. Please use official art or a screenshot for a picture.
  • Appearance: A shortened description of the item's looks with some notable features also mentioned.
  • Class: Refer to the Treasure Classification System in the Great Treasury.
  • Alignment: Refers to the objects' role in their story, be it those used by villains or used by the Player Character.
  • Theme Song (Optional): Not important as compared to Deity and Dominion profiles but a notable mention if there is an accompanying song in use with the object.
  • Museum Check: A note that says whether the item is viewable by the public.
  • Portfolio: Tropes associated with the item.
  • Domains: Things that the item has links to.
  • Relationships (Optional): Unless the item has a connection with a specific deity, relationships are optional and may not be required. However, if there are deities linked to the same series as 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.

Speaking of too long pages, a few days ago I suggested moving the A trio and Lip to Gaming Genres, but nobody responded. Also, somebody changed every instance of "theme song" to "theme music" on the Game Mechanics page to be more consistent, but I'm not sure if that's how it's done.

  • Under the deep blue sea of the Atlantic Ocean lies the kingdom of Atlantica, a place inhabited by all sorts of sealife, including mermaids. Ariel, daughter of King Triton, has long been fascinated by humanity and collects trinkets dropped by them, which comes into opposition with her father, who heavily distrusts humans. She travels to the surface, upon which she falls in love with and saves Prince Eric from drowning. This event solidifies Ariel's desire to become a part of humanity's world, while Eric now longs to find the woman with the beautiful singing voice who saved his life. After Triton destroys her collection in a rage after learning about her escapade, she travels to meet the sea witch Ursula, upon which they make a deal; she will transform into a human at the cost of her voice and must receive a kiss of true love from Eric in three days, or else she will revert back and belong to Ursula. In her new human form, she meets and bonds with Eric, who is unaware that she is the girl who rescued him. Before they can kiss on the second day, Ursula takes the human guise of Vanessa and uses Ariel's singing voice to lure and then hypnotize Eric into forgetting about Ariel. With the help of her sea friends, Ariel disrupts "Vanessa"'s and Eric's wedding, in turn regaining her voice and breaking the enchantment on Eric. Eric finally recognizes Ariel, but Ariel transforms back into a mermaid and gets abducted by Ursula, who then takes over Atlantica after turning Triton into a polyp. Before she can solidify her reign, Ariel and Eric intervene and fight her. Ursula is ultimately slain by Eric by impaling the gargantuan witch with his ship. Recognizing his daughter's feelings for Eric, Triton turns Ariel human, allowing the newlywed couple to live happily ever after.
  • Ariel ascended to the Pantheon by emerging out of a pool of water in the House of Otherness. All she remembers is that she was suddenly placed in an unknown underwater location and followed a strange light that led her to the surface. After her shocking introduction, she quickly discovered that she now has the ability to freely shapeshift between her mermaid and human bodies, to which she was overjoyed to find out; now she can live in both world she loves with little difficulty! She was brought to the Court of the Gods to be blessed with a divine position in the realm. Initially holding on to the title of Mermaids for being one of the most famous and well-known examples of her species, she willingly transferred her title to a former unconventional mermaid named Ponyo and gained the title of Spectacular Water Emergences. She has since then been relocated to the Hall of Water and Moisture, where there is plenty of water for her to swim in.
  • Ever since Ariel settled down with Eric, she had a lovely daughter named Melody who she loves and cares for deeply. Ironically, she ended up mirroring her father, forbidding Melody from learning anything about her mermaid heritage to protect her from Ursula's sister Morgana. This only causes Melody to run away from home, leading her to be manipulated by Morgana. In the end, the sea witch was vanquished, the mother-daughter bonds were repaired, and the barrier separating the terrestrial world and marine world was removed. Needless to say, Ariel was very happy to see Melody ascend to the Pantheon as well, with Melody returning the sentiment. It's not uncommon for them to visit each other's temples and be together like the family they are. While Eric has relinquished his divine title a while ago, he still regularly visits his wife and daughter to catch up on them and Pantheonic happenings. Having a much better relationship with her father, she gets frequent visits from King Triton, who's always happy to see what his daughter and granddaughter are up to in the divine realm. But if there's anyone unwelcome, it's Ursula. Ariel was unhappy to learn of the sea witch's presence in the Pantheon and has permanently banned her from her temple, as well as warning her friends about her contracts. Above all, she refuses to let Melody fall into her clutches, promising the octo-woman a very painful end if she harms a single scale on her daughter. Of course, Ursula isn't above taunting the mermaid for her past naivety, and perhaps she can succeed where her useless sister failed...
  • Ariel's friend list doesn't end at her world; many worlds that come out of the House of Mouse are connected, and that means plenty of opportunities for people to meet new friends they normally never could. Like many other Disney deities, Ariel became fast friends with Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck and Goofy, whose friendly natures and widespread presence earn them many acquaintances along the years. With the large amount of princesses around in the Disney universe, that means that much of them have forged a tightly knit friend group known as the Disney Princesses, and Ariel is no exception to their circle. Together, they have shared their stories, host fun parties, dress in beautiful clothes, stare down the dark gaze of evil, and serve as shining role models and icons to so many little girls on this Earth. Once, Vanellope von Schweetz encountered them within the digital realm in the Oh My Disney app, where most of them were puzzled by her unconventional status as a princess, but they, Ariel included, grew fond of the girl and support her endeavors anyway. After all, there's no singular way to be a princess. Speaking of young princesses, Sofia is sometimes helped by Ariel when it comes to princess-related issues, as the girl needs all the help she can get to truly be a good-hearted princess.
    • Another friend of note is Sora, a Keyblade wielder who has arrived to Atlantica multiple times on his adventures alongside Donald and Goofy. During their first visit, the trio helped fight against the Heartless infesting her world and defeat Ursula, who was trying to find Atlantica's Keyhole for her own nefarious plans. The next time they visit, Sora and friends joined Ariel to sing at an underwater concert, which was sadly interrupted by Ursula, prompting them to slay her yet again. Meeting Sora made Ariel ware of the worlds beyond her familiar home, and eventually she was able to see many different worlds when Sora gained the power to summon her in fights. When Sora's in a musical mood, he magically turns into a mermaid and dives into the ocean so he and Ariel can swim their way into some finny fun by singing their hearts out. Ariel is grateful for the opportunities to become a part of so many other worlds while Sora is happy to make another friend.
  • The Little Mermaid is a Fairy Tale known across the world and beloved by many, and Ariel's story is but one of the many adaptations of Hans Christian Andersen's narrative. The Pantheon being what it is, there happens to be quite a few others who are also based off of the tale or are just fans of the story. For example, she gets along well with the Blood Maiden Little Mermaid, to which Ariel was happy that she managed to find a happy ending and remain by Otsuu's side even when it seemed she was doomed to tragically die, and Little Mermaid was interested in experiencing what having a mermaid's tail would be like. However, as much as she respects Milas' devotion towards sealife, she cannot abide by him working for a group that desires the extinction of non-Adepts aka powerless humans, so she keeps her distance from him. Meanwhile, Little Mermaid fans Meroune Lorelei and Kirara Sessyoin have different reactions to Ariel; Meroune is disappointed by how less tragic Ariel's story is to the original tale, while Kiara is simply happy to see someone like the heroine of her childhood story around in the flesh. On her part, Ariel's meeting with Meroune are awkward while she stays away from Kiara, as her perverted and despicable plans don't endear her to many.
  • Mermaids are curious creatures, aren't they? With the upper bodies of a human and the lower body of a fish, their existence has perplexed and fascinated many landlubbers, with many theories about how they function being spread across both the scientific and gossip circles. Meanwhile, Ariel is just excited to meet mermaids from other realms and see what they're like. The Mermaid Princesses were the first group of mermaids she met, as Lucia was Ariel's former follower prior to her ascension, and Lucia didn't waste time introducing a royal mermaid to her royal mermaid friends. While Ariel's singing is considered beautiful, she didn't expect that the Mermaid Princesses singing would actually be magical, but the other mermaids find her singing to be among the greatest of the seawaters. They sometimes get together to talk and gossip about their respective countries, princes and lives. Ariel also became friends with Ponyo after finding out that they have much in common; a mermaid who became a human to be with the human they love and facing off against their fathers who distrust humans greatly. Ariel has taken Ponyo meet her family, to which they too became fond of the girl. Plus, Ariel doesn't forget to feed Ponyo some ham once in a while. Unfortunately, Ephraim Winslow and Wendy are deeply afraid by mermaids, since the former hallucinated one during his time in a lighthouse on an isolated island and the latter was nearly drowned by mermaids in Neverland. While saddened by their unfortunate predicaments, Ariel makes sure to stay away from them as to not accidentally trigger a bad episode for either of them.
    • Mermaids aren't the only humanoid fish people around; some of them resemble two-legged humanoids with scaly skin or even look purely human. Once she heard of such beings, Ariel let her curious side out as she walked and swam to meet some of these other fish people herself. First of all, she gets along very well with Ruto as they're both aquatic princesses, with Ariel being fascinated by her having two legs and thus being amphibious. Ruto introduced her to fellow fish-person Rikuo, which she also befriended. She also struck a quick bond with Ben and Saoirse, as she was excited to meet a fabled selkie in the flesh, and Saoirse reminds her of Melody for their yearning for the sea. Arthur Curry was truly such an enigma for her as she'd never expect an aquatic being to look so human. Nevertheless, they got on common ground with their shared love of the sea and the surface and a desire to protect humans. She was amazed to hear how, as Aquaman, Arthur was responsible for helping protect the Earth and beyond time and time again. As for Aquaman's half-brother Orm, she's more apprehensive about him since he's not above attacking the surface for his goals, though currently they're at a ceasefire and he hopes they can become allies someday. She greatly relates to Elisa Esposito and the Asset, as like her and Eric they're a loving couple between a human and a fish person. The fact that they don't need words to communicate their feelings touches her, for she was once voiceless for a time, so she's glad they could work it out. She admires Jinbei for his noble personality and actions in protecting merfolk and entertained the idea of using her princess status to pardon his crimes, but Jinbei turned him down, noting that he's already a pirate. Still, he likes how she went to great lengths for love and her dreams and considers her a good role model for Shirahoshi should she visit the Pantheon. Hearing of the horrific atrocities inflicted on Fisher Tiger fills her with great sorrow, and even if she wishes that he would one day let go of his hatred towards humans, she knows that it would be nearly impossible to forget what those slavers did to his people and thus never forgive humanity for those atrocities.
  • Ah, the ocean. The cradle of all life on Earth, it covers 70% of the planet's surface and is filled with a rich, vibrant ecosystem of millions of unique creatures. With such a diverse population, it's not surprise that Ariel would search out the dwellers of the deep blue. For example, she gained new fishy friends in Nemo, Marlin and Dory, and while Marlin's initial overprotectiveness reminded her of her own father, she understood that the ocean is a dangerous place and is happy that he relaxed a bit regarding his son. She was fascinated by Spongebob Squarepants for she had never seen a living sea sponge before, plus his pineapple house was truly a one-of-a-kind undersea fixture. She also became friends with Patrick Star after Spongebob introduced her to his best friends, and now she sometimes tags along with them in catching jellyfish. She also feels a warmth around Poseidon, as he reminds her of King Triton, and Poseidon welcomes her presence as she, like all marinelife, are in his domain. Landlubbers with a close relationship to the sea like Kukuru Misakino, Fūka Miyazawa and Aqours would also enter Ariel's friend circle, as Ariel can connect with more fascinating humans and the girls can experience a taste of the world below the azure waves. Meanwhile, Ariel pities Padak for being scooped from her home and killed for a meal, as sadly not all humans are kind to sealife. She's also not receptive to Archie and Team Aqua's attempt to flood the world for the supposed betterment of Pokemon, as it would kill the humans she cherishes. But even if humans can be cruel, she cannot abide by Ika Musume and Rahab's desire to take over the surface as she doesn't see repaying pollution with violence and terror to be the solution. And while there are many friendly ocean folk, others are far more sinister and dangerous like the eldritch Cthulhu, Dagomon and Kraeken or the straight up malicious Octogeddon, so Ariel staunchly refuses to associate herself with them, partly because of her disgust towards their corruptive and destructive ways and partly fear of how she'd end up as one of their many victims should she end up in their warpath.
  • While swimming in the Pantheonic Seas, Ariel came across a Pokemon that looked like a pufferfish with a flat tail. While she knows plenty about the Quilfish like other marinelife, she had never seen this specific specimen before and approached him. The Quilfish turned out to be his species' divine representative, to her surprise. Ariel would invite the Quilfish to Atlantica where he quickly became friends with Sebastian and Flounder. King Triton allowed the Pokemon to become a resident of Atlantica as well as Ariel's Pokemon partner, as she would benefit from having a bodyguard around to protect her. From then on, Ariel and Quilfish would happily swim around and play in the ocean depths, and if anyone suspicious and malicious would come forth, the Pokemon would shoo them away with his prickly barbs.
  • As a mermaid, Ariel has spent most of her life away from land dwellers like humans, and thus knew little of them. Despite her father's distrust and fear of humans, Ariel remained curious and fascinated, collecting human trinkets and dreaming to live on the surface with two legs instead of a fish tail. In her eyes, such a people who create so many wonderful things cannot be wholly evil. Now that she has two legs, she is able to see how wonderful and diverse humanity is, both in her world and the Pantheon. Her love and fascination with humans is shared with one certain Doctor, who has dedicated themselves to protecting mankind and the Earth from all sorts of malevolent beings, brings their companions along in their adventures across time and space, and adores seeing human history happen before his eyes. Since they met up, the two hit it off very well and enjoy gushing about humans whenever possible. The Doctor has even entertained the idea of bringing Ariel along in the TARDIS, much to Ariel's joy. An opportunity to see more humans and locales in different periods of time is something she'd kill for. And now that she knows there is life beyond the sky, she's only more and more curious about seeing what the rest of the world has to offer. Octodad was a big curiosity for her, as he was able to successfully blend in with humans despite still being an octopus. Somehow, just wearing a suit enough to convince most that he's a human. Still, both get along well for having happy family lives on the surface world, further proving that love triumphs over all.
    • Ariel's love for humanity did not end at mere admiration, for her curiosity extended into a dream to become human herself. Her contract with Ursula allowed her to become a part of mankind's world for the first time and enjoy the thrill of having two legs to walk on the ground. This desire allowed her to find common ground with Pinocchio, a puppet who was promised to be turned into a real boy should he be good and virtuous. Both have noted that their journeys to become fully human were not easy. for Ariel had Ursula's contract looming over her and Pinocchio got into dire trouble for misbehavior and indulging in vices, but they pulled through and saw their wishes realized, and they are happy that all was well for them and their fathers. She's also supportive of Nano Shinonome, who was ashamed of her robotic existence and wanted to be human like everyone else around her, but thanks to her schoolfriends she accepted that she's fine as she is. Ariel respects her choice as no matter what she is, she still has a loving family and supportive friends. However, Mary and Angela are vastly different stories. While she sympathizes with their own dreams to become human and live free from the shackles of their artificial existences, their willingness to harm and even kill others to get their wish granted made her very uneasy around them. Meanwhile, Mary is curious to see a real mermaid and Angela has noted her similarity to a mermaid Abnormality contained in the O-5681 branch of the Lobotomy Corporation, but perhaps that's just a coincidence.
  • As much as Ariel loves humans, her father was a different story. King Triton greatly distrusted humans and forbade merpeople from having contact with them, which placed a rift between him and his daughter. Hearing of Ariel rescuing Eric and falling in love with him, Triton destroys her grove of human trinkets in a rage, prompting her to search Ursula. Eventually, Triton's opinion of mankind softened and allowed Ariel to be with Eric after finishing off the sea witch for good. Such a tale of lovers separated by familial disapproval is known by Romeo and Juliet, whose freshly blooming love was obstructed by their feuding families, and tragically they could not be together and they took their own lives in despair. Ariel was brought to tears when she heard their story, but was comforted when she saw that the lovers were alive again in the Pantheon for a second chance. For this, she gave them her blessings and hopes that the star-crossed lovers would stay together for eternity. Nabi and Doki also faced opposition regarding their love, as their society frowns on interspecies relationships, but they managed to make it work thanks to some help. Ariel is very happy that the two could remain together and not get torn apart by hatred, and she wondered if she was lucky that she and Eric didn't face as much discrimination back in her world. Count Bleck and Tippi's story seemed to be the most tragic of them all, for their love was vetoed by Bleck's father as they were of different clans, prompting him to banish Tippi between dimensions which lead to Bleck turning to the Dark Prognosticus to destroy all of existence, for nothing means anything anymore without the love of his life. Such a tragedy was tempered by their fateful reunion, and now they're happy together at last. Ariel couldn't believe such a tearjerking and horrifying result of a romance could happen, but knowledge of their current situation and Bleck no longer seeking the end of all things eased her heart and she wishes the best for them too.
  • Ariel's biggest claim to fame, besides being a mermaid, is her singing voice. Her voice is renowned in the sea as beautiful and mesmerizing, and Eric longed to find the woman with the gorgeous singing voice after he was rescued by her. Many naysayers shut their mouths after hearing her belt out a tune like her famous "Part of Your World". Since her ascension, Ariel sometimes drops by the House of Musicality to sing on stage, which always draws in a full crowd. There, she met Suzu Naito, a girl who aspires to be a singer and has achieved fame in the digital world of U under the name "Belle". Ariel praised her voice when she heard it in person and was touched to hear the story of how she helped the Dragon and the Angel escape from their abusive situation. In turn, Suzu sometimes listens to Ariel's singing and praises it every time. Ariel's interest in the Dazzlings quickly soured when she learned of how their singing corrupts others into fighting each other and becoming more hateful. She cannot believe that they would use such a wonderful tool like singing and use it to sow discord among people. so she won't be in their audience anytime soon. Meanwhile, Odysseus is uncomfortable around her as she reminds him of the sirens, who tried to lure him and his crew to death through their mesmerizing songs. Hearing her sing on the rocks brings back bad memories, so he shuts his ears and walks away whenever Ariel sings.
  • Ursula's business model is a devious one; she can grant the wishes of any poor unfortunate soul through a contract, but it always has a massive price. Not only does she get something in equal measure as payment, but the requirement for fulfilling the contracts are nigh impossible to achieve, so her clients end up as polyps in her cave. Ariel's desperation to become human led her to Ursula's abode, to which she gained a pair of legs at he cost of her famed voice. It's thanks to Ariel and Eric's efforts that Ariel didn't meet the same fate, freed the sea witch's victims and stopped Ursula's plan for good. Unfortunately, the Pantheon has no shortage of people who make devilish deals that screw people over, much to her dismay. Those like the Snatcher, the Devil of Inkwell Isles, Pluto and Moguro Fukuzou make her angry with how they use Ursula's tactics to control and ruin others lives. In particular, she's appalled by how indifferent the Incubators are when it comes to the suffering of the contracted magical girls. Since then, she's dedicated herself to warning others of making deals with those people, to save them from pain and regret. She extends her sympathy and sorrow to those like Jeanne and the Puella Magi, who have fallen victim to those magical swindlers and ended up with tragic fates. Sayaka Miki's story makes her heart ache with how she could not confess her love to her crush and eventually became a tortured monster. On the flipside, she was glad to know that Cuphead and Mugman fought back against the Devil and freed the other contractees from his clawed grasp as well. The brothers return the sentiment, and wonder if they could introduce her to Cala Maria some day. Lastly, she struck up a friendship with Howl Pendragon and Sophie Hatter, as their story also involved a contract and true love's kiss, though thankfully Calcifer was a much better person than Ursula could ever be.
  • As a price for becoming human, Ariel's voice was taken from her and thus she could not talk and sing, which is a big issue when it comes to communication and Eric recognizing her as the woman who saved him. Ariel didn't underestimate the importance of body language though, and she was able to strike up a romance with Eric even before she regained her voice. Shoko Nishimiya greeted her with a message on her textbook explaining her deafness and difficulty speaking, to which Ariel understands just how difficult life could be without a voice. She cried when she heard of how she suffered cruel bullying from others due to her disability, but knowing that Shoko's still progressing through life makes Ariel happy, and she wrote her a message telling her to never give up hope and to continue being a good person. She also left a message for Shoya Ishida telling him that he should be proud that he's working hard to grow as a better person and wishes both of them well. Shizune Hakamichi, who is also deaf and mute, is currently teaching Ariel on how to use sign language. Ariel finds it fascinating as she never heard of it before, and is eagerly training herself so she can communicate better with her new friends.

So some rank rework proposals. Not necessarily a call to reworks but anybody could take that up for themselves or me.

Dalek Empire (Greater to Overdeity race due to being the other main faction of the Time War who could send nightmarish abomination after nightmarish abomination that destroys timelines and dimensions. Before they were Greater though grew to be an universe-destroying civilization)

Davros (Lesser to Intermediate since I feel his augmentations that maybe related to his chair make him as strong as one of the more advance Daleks. I feel him being convincing enough as a Supreme Dalek indicates his abilities are around that level)

Cybermen (Intermediate to Greater is a bit of a long time coming. If needing to nuke an entire galaxy to stop them is indicative enough of a threat, then there it is. Poor profile that I’m willing to take on unless someone else has it)

The Master (Intermediate to Greater as even before the Time Lord purge, the Master was resurrected to be ultimate soldier for the Time Lords. Even if he was not better than the Doctor or especially Rassilon, its indicative that he is quite literally built different from other Time Lords to be just Intermediate)

Sibyl System (Overdeity to Greater as it is just program manager isolated to Japan. It doesnt have world-altering power outside the law, though it being deeply systematic in a futuristic world does justify a Greater)

Kazuma Kuwabara (Intermediate to Greater as even if he is the physically weakest of Team Urameshi, he is still considered in the S rank as crazy as that sounds. Makes him legitimately greater than Toguro since the end of the series)

Hiei (Intermediate to Greater as again, Hiei is called an S rank like Yusuke and Kurama who are Greater rank)

Shinobu Sensui (Intermediate to Greater as he is a S rank too. In fact, rule of thumb is that things around B rank in Intermediate. Greater are A and S ranks)

Riku Asakura (Intermediate to Greater since he is still a giant alien who shoots nukes at the end of the day)

Roxas (Intermediate to Greater as the profile even admits that him dual wielding makes him Greater. Those are his default weapons now)

Xion (Lesser to Greater since if you know anything about her boss fight where she wields a normal Kingdom Key, she goes beyond Intermediate at best)

Terra (Intermediate to Greater as even the profile treats Lingering will as if its a super form, it isnt. Lingering Will is just normal Terra’s gameplay as his campaign’s ending shows and his boss is a reinterpretation of that moveset in the more freely moving Kingdom Hearts 2, as Tetsuya Nomura implies by saying Birth by Sleep’s characters combat are what Sora could do if he wasnt so unrefined)

Ventus (Intermediate to Greater as he and Vanitas are considered equals, then he likely should be considered too even if he cannot spew out world-invading hordes’

Aqua (Intermediate to Greater as Aqua probably has the best track record in KH victories next to Sora. Helped defeat Ventus-Vanitas, held off Terranort, survived the Shadow Realm for untold amounts of years, and fended off Riku and Mickey who are both Keyblade Masters)

The Heartless (Ambiguous to Overdeity as when I wrote this, someone else rewrote it to change to ambiguous rank when it was supposed to be Overdeity since Heartless are inevitable. Even if they have weaknesses depending on the context where they are, I find them Overdeities because there is no end to them and as a whole, threaten all worlds)

Master Eraqus (Intermediate to Greater as in general, I think Keyblade Masters are Greater as they have mastery of magic, swordsmanship, and other things that make them powerful. If anybody points Eraqus was beaten by Terra, then remember Terra is being proposed an upgrade as well)

Yen Sid (Intermediate to Greater as even without the Keyblade, that Fantasia short showing Mickey doing crazy magic is indicative of a fraction of what Yen Sid could do. He is a great wizard for a reason and I think his rank should reflect that Kingdom Hearts or not)

Pit (Lesser to Intermediate as even without the Sacred Treasures, Pit can take on someone like Medusa and armies who are on par with Palutena’s without the superpowered weaponry behind him)

Dark Pit (Lesser to Intermediate since he is a clone of Pit… he can do the same things he can do)

Viridi (Intermediate to Greater as even without being fought at all, Viridi is likely on par with Palutena if she can tango against humanity with an army similar to hers)

[up][up]That all sounds pretty plausible! I could go for attempting to do a Xion rework since I am fairly familiar with Kingdom Hearts, and I find her to be neat. I will need some tips however.

Also definitely agree that Aqua should be Greater Goddess. Trouncing Terranort as hard as she did in the end of BBS is definitely something worthy of a Greater Deity.

[up] Well, given I've played NieR: Automata this year (and I've got the platinum trophy for it), I plan on reworking 2B, 9S, and A2 at some point. Anything else regarding other characters like Pascal, Adam and Eve, The Machines in general, and the Terminals is purely secondary. Unfortunately, my next suggestion schedule is a different one, so the NieR trio would have to wait for a little bit.


Alright, time to finalize this; I made some suggestions regarding change for House representatives a month ago, but I haven't gone through them yet. I'd need just a few more responses and approvals before I could finally get them up. For specifics.

Add the Inklings and Octolings as new reps for Craft to replace Emmet (and change the title to The Artisanal Collective), whose since been moved to a Items and Objects. I got one approval from Excessive, but would like to double-check things just in case.

Remove Bartz Kaluser from Jobs and Profession as his trope doesn't really function as a job-based trope and is more game mechanics-based.

Finally, here's the proposed House Reps for Jobs and Profession (with Leonardo DaVinci being moved to Character Archetypes + I have two approvals from Excessive-Menace and Bazzardreturns)...

The Championed Employers

Shōyō Hinata, God of Issues With Height Deficiency (The Greatest/Strongest/Ultimate Decoy, Ninja Shōyō)

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/shouyou_hinata.png
  • Demigod
  • Symbol: Crows, black feathers, volleyballs
  • Theme Song: "Piton", "The Battle of Concepts"
  • Alignment: Neutral Good
  • Portfolio: Keet, Positive Friend Influence, All-Loving Hero, Book Dumb, Beware the Silly Ones, Fragile Speedster (later a Jack of All Stats), Friendly Rivalry with all his opponents
  • Domains: Volleyball, Sports, Jumping, Underdogs
  • Heralds: From Karasuno High School, Tobio Kageyama, Kei Tsukishima, Daichi Sawamura, Yu Nishinoya, Asahi Azumane, Ryunosuke Tanaka, Tadashi Yamaguchi, Koushi Sugawara, Chikara Ennoshita, Hisashi Kinoshita, Kazuhito Narita. And just about every member of the rival teams as well, especially those who went on to become his teammates.
  • Allies: Captain Tsubasa, Tetsuya Kuroko, Iwatobi Swim Club, Drinky Crow, Karas, Hello Kitty, Pikachu, Atsuko Kagari, Izuku Midoriya and Toshinori Yagi, Timon and Pumbaa
  • Shōyō Hinata was inspired to take up volleyball after feeling mesmerized watching a player nicknamed the "Little Giant" on TV. Standing at 163 cm, Hinata is far shorter than what is ideal for the sport, but he can compensate for that with his amazing jumping height. Unfortunately, he wound up being the only member of the volleyball club for much of middle school, giving him little chance to properly train. During his third year, the club got enough members to participate in a tournament. While the team only played one game, it was there that Hinata had a fateful encounter with ace setter Tobio Kageyama, who saw unhoned talent in Hinata and demanded to know what he had been doing for three years. Hinata interpreted this as Kageyama taking a dig at his poor showing and so swore he would defeat the setter in high school, but by a twist of fate, the two both ended up at Karasuno. As the "Little Giant"'s alma mater, the school's volleyball club was once a force to be reckoned with, but in the years since it had become a pale shadow of its former self. However the raw talents of Hinata, Kageyama and the other newcomers Tsukishima and Yamaguchi, allied with the solid foundations of the older members, would soon put Karasuno back on the map.
  • Coming home late one night, Hinata ran into a boar, which is always a risk in his rural home in the Miyagi Prefecture. Less usual was the small rat-like thing perched on the boar's back. Either way, Hinata screamed, which set the two animals to scream as well and they all started running all over the place until in the middle of that mess someone tripped, causing all three characters to crash and roll together for a considerable distance. Next thing Hinata knew, he's not in Miyagi anymore, but more importantly he and his impromptu animal companions had crashed into some hallowed-feeling place, where the variety of inhabitants begged Hinata's pardon for bringing him into the Pantheon in such a violent manner, as well as that of Timon and Pumbaa (for those were the animals) for getting them involved without their consent. Hinata's puzzlement at these circumstances was quickly dispelled as it was explained to him that the Pantheon was looking to increase its sports representation by having him, a talented volleyball player, ascended. If being in the Pantheon means spreading love for volleyball, Hinata is game for it.
  • Despite screaming in their faces earlier, the ever-amiable Hinata made sure to communicate (through animal language translators, naturally) to Timon and Pumbaa his gratitude for bringing him there and apologize for the inconvenience; Timon commented he was lucky it was them and not some bigger, badder boar that incidentally lived in his very country, but then he and Pumbaa dismissed what happened by saying "The more, the merrier" and of course their trademark "Hakuna matata". When Hinata asked what the latter meant, he learned that it was about not worrying and turning one's back on the past, which made him remark that Timon and Pumbaa would probably like the Inarizaki team, as their own motto/philosophy is "Who needs memories". Timon commented, maybe a little conceitedly, that the Inarizaki kids certainly seem to know what they're talking about.

[up] Edward Elric is very sensitive about his short height, so he easily flies into a rage whenever someone makes a comment about his shortness and dislikes milk partly because people needle him about his shortness being caused by his refusal to drink it.

The Anglerfish team represent Ōarai Girls' Academy, a little known Sensha-do school, and their participation in the National Sensha-do Championships is because of the school's desire to regain prestige and attention in the field of Sensha-do. μ's was formed because Honoka Kousaka wanted to save Otonokizaka High School from shutting down.

[up][up] Thumbelina of the Blood Team is sensitive about her height since she's older than her sisters Snow White and Sleeping Beauty yet is the shortest between them all. Being mistaken for the younger sister tends to be her Berserk Button.

I actually did move the Heartless location to Monster Types. The trope doesnt sit itself well in abominations which some will probably think it went but mental monster is along the same lines but isnt an abomination. So I just moved it there. Didnt feel it was right to have them be representatives either since Heartless are an entire race

Also, I moved Starro from ambiguous ranks to be in the same place, and ambiguous ranks is gone as a result. It says Starro has an unknown rank but it does have proper ranks in the profile listed. I guess it was shoved there because it varied depending on the Starro but never stopped other race-based profiles before.

[up][up][up][up] Similar to Honoka, Chika Takami was inspired by μ's to become a school idol singer and form a band of her own, Aqours. Initially, the news of her school shutting down excited her as she took it as a sign that she would be very similar to her favorite band before the situation became more serious, and became desperate to use her band's influence to enroll more students in her school. Only except where Honoka's case is successful, Chika fails and her school is forced to shut down, even if she and Aqours won the Love Live competition.


[up] I think moving Starro should have been announced first for voting and approval before the action was done. Also, instead of "Ambigious Ranks", that could have been renamed to "Varying Ranks", which would better define the Heartless and Starro in regards to how their power scaling is treated in the Pantheon (while it's reasonable to assume an entire army of Heartless would be Overdeity-level, I think it's best to categorize them as depending on each type and version, and the same thing applies to Starro).


The House of Jobs and Profession has new reps and two new groups, with DaVinci being moved to Character Archetypes and Bartz exclusively being in Game Mechanics. Also, the Inklings and Octolings occupy Emmet's former rep spot in Craft.
