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    • If you feel the need to remove a character for some reason (poor quality, outdated titles, etcetera) and replace him/her with another or outright rework, please see what the other tropers think about this in the discussion thread before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

Can you guys point me to any good images of Izanagi by himself?

No Thumbs Mode

Izanagi, God of Blaming the Child For Childbed Death(Izanaki, Izanagi-no-Mikoto, Izanagi-No-Okami, Akemi Nakajima)

Insert images here

  • Greater God, Demigod as Akemi Nakajima
  • Symbol: The divine spear Ame-no-Sakahoko and divine sword Totsuka-no-Tsurugi
  • Alignment: Lawful Neutral bordering on Neutral Good. Akemi Nakajima went from Neutral Evil to True Neutral
  • Portfolio: Created the Japanese Islands with Izanami, Izanami was wife and sister, blamed Hi-no-Kagitsuchi for Izanami's death, gave birth to Amaterasu, Susano'o and Tsukyomi by himself, let Amaterasu become head of the gods

  • Domains: Life, creation, fatherhood, computers

  • Allies: The Investigation Team, especially Yu Narukami, Izanami(his ex-wife and sister), Amaterasu, Susano'o(his children) , Flynn, Cerberus, Ra

  • Enemies: Lucifer, YHVH, Amatsu-Mikaboshi, Loki, Set

  • The last generation of the Kamiyonanayo, Izanagi and Izanami were instructed by the other gods to go down to the Earth from its chaotic state into something more livable. To do this, they used the Ame-no-Nubuko/Ame-no-Sakahoko to create the first bit of earth, and then they proceated to create the Japanese islands as well as numerous deities to inhabit them. However, the good times were not meant to last: Izanami died when giving birth to the fire god Hi-no-Kagitsuchi. In grief and rage, Izanagi blamed the child and slew him with the Totsuka-no-Tsurugi.
    • In order to attempt to get his wife back, Izanagi descended to Yomi, the land of the dead. Somehow he managed to find her in the pitch-darkness, although he could obviously not see her. However, because she had eaten food cooked in the underworld, she could not return. Accounts differ on what happened next, but what is consistent is that he managed to light a fire and saw that Izanami was now a rotten corpse. Now filled with fear and disgust, Izanagi turned tail and began to escape back to the surface. To get back at him Izanami sent gods of thunder and legions of warriors, but Izanagi evaded them all and managed to escape and seal Yomi with a large boulder. Now fully a Woman Scorned, Izanami pronounced a curse that she would kill one thousand people every day, to which Izanagi replied that he would have one thousand five hundred people born each day to stop here.
    • After coming back from Yomi, Izanagi sought to cleanse himself in a river in Ahakihara. From this purification ceremony many gods were born, and from the last step the "Three precious children" came about: Amaterasu from his left eye, Tsukyomi froim his right eye, and Sasano'o from his nose. He then proceceeded to give each of these children a domain" to Amaterasu the heavenly abode of the gods; to Tsukyomi the night; and to Susano'o the sea. However, due to him either being too destructive, not keeping up wiht his duties, or cying too much Izanagi would expell Susano'o to the earth.
    • In the 1980's Izanagi would be reincarnated as Akemi Nakajima, a high school student highly gifted in science in technology but prone to sociopathic behavior. In order to get back at some bullies, he combined magic and coding to create the first demon summoning program. With this program he summoned Loki, but he quickly released the error of his ways and vowed to stop the demon invasion he started. Whether in the original tale or the first Megaten game, he would ally and fall in love with Yumiko Shirasagi. Whether he was defeated by Lucifer's machinations (as in the books) or succceded in defending the human world (as in the games), the impact of creating the Demon summoning program would reverberate throughout the multiverse.

  • As Amatsu-Mikaboshi went a a rampage in his quest to destroy it all, it seemed like there was nothing that could be done. However, when someone suggestion brining a creator god to oppose the destruction deity, Flynn remembered what he had heard from Stephen and Kazuya about the original creator of the Dmeon Summoning Program, and used his COMP to summon the creator. Luckily, Izanagi was drawn by Flynn's connections to the deities of Japan and responded, driving back Amatsu-Mikaboshi with a barrage of light.

Okay, got a lot to work with here, so first things first: fix the Wonder Seed profile, it's supposed to be the Wonder FLOWER! Second: add The Book of KND & the recommissioning device to The Great Treasury. Right now, I'm a huge KND fan so I need my shit. And lastly, speaking of the KND, I'm thinking on making a sector for the Pantheon called Sector P, featuring the Pantheon's child deities. Their enemies will also be listed. I'm not gonna do this myself though. Do it yourself!

[up] Adding stuff to the Treasury requires proposing it, getting it approved and working on it in a profile so it cannot be added immediately. Also, it's frowned upon on this wiki to order others to do things on your behalf as it might make others think that you don't want to put in the effort of making it yourself.

  • For the record, I don't mind getting an objection. Because what is okay for me may not be okay to others and I would appreciate more if a mistake was pointed that out much earlier than later. That's one way how a collaboration helps.
  • As for the pictures, my reasoning why those were added was because I wanted a close up picture of the engines. But I don't mind if that gets removed if it's a bit too much.

[up][up]Too bad.


Which aspect of Time-Delayed Death do you think a god should represent: an unknown fatal injury, or a status condition in video games where a character is knocked out after a timer runs out? Because I have an idea for the latter... but I think they should be two separate tropes.

  • Glamrock Freddy and Gregory, Co-Heralds of the Meta Twist: Adopted from Marvel Fan 2003. The main protagonist of Security Breach has Freddy actually be an ally for the first time in the series, while all the other animatronics are crazed and out for your blood. The game repeatedly teases the prospect that he may actually be or become evil, but it never happens. While he can attack you if he runs out of power or if you flub an upgrade segment, it's made clear this happens against his will like a reflex rather than being deliberate. The Big Bad tries to take control of him like the others, but Freddy manages to fight it off. Also, the game only has one night

Hi! I love the Trope Pantheons and used to use them as mental reference when I would make written OCs with no art. But I wanted to address something I thought was missing from a newish god group ascension. I think that the Ohsama Sentai King-Ohger should have something of a connection to Kirby. I have some reasons why but I don't think I can write on either's page to articulate my points.

Kirby to the whole team: Kirby has a friendship with a King in King Dedede. Kirby also regularly deals with Lovecraftian entities so Kirby could fall into Ally or Conflicting Opinion territory given Kirby's strength and abilities.

Kirby to Kaguragi Dybowski: Big Eater to Farming King, Plus is easy for Kaguragi to manipulate.

I haven't ever fully read the rules of the Pantheon. Most times I edited stuff it was small and stayed there. This though is too much for me.

[up] Hey, welcome to the Pantheon! I'm glad that this project was able to provide some creative value to you.

When a profile is posted it is generally open to being updated and edited within reason. As I understand it, you want to add interactions with Kirby, but on an individual level for some of the members? That would still probably be put in the "group" section of the profile, but with these individual interactions put together.

Most of the rules apply to creating Profiles instead of editing them, but if you have any questions, feel free to ask!

It's time to face your fears

[up] To be honest. I just think that the interactions between Kirby and the Ohsama Sentai is something that's too hard for me to understand. Unless I look into fanfiction which I told myself I wouldn't do with Tokusatsu. But I could break my rules since I think my last Pantheon edits were before the Pandemic. And if someone wants to change something, they could.

What more should I add to Roswell?

Roswell, New Mexico, Divine City Of Mysterious Happenings In 1947 (All American City-Alien City)

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/roswell_nm_main_street.jpg
Main street in downtown Roswell
  • Hall: Administrative Centers (The Dominions Expansion)
  • Description: A humble city in Chaves County, New Mexico, with some sights from ufologists to enjoy
  • Symbol: Its flag and seal
  • Alignment: True Neutral (usually associated with Lawful Neutral government agents)
  • Portfolio: Roswell That Ends Well, Stock Unsolved Mysteries, Fodder For History Jokes, Government Cover-Ups, Real Event, Fictional Cause, supposed Area 51 connections
  • Domains: American Cities, Rumor and Speculation, Weather Balloons (officially), Cold War technologies (most likely), Aliens, UFOs (unofficially)
  • Notable visitors: The Planet Express crew sans Amy and Hermes, Roger Smith
  • Barred entry: The Harvesters
  • Roswell is a humble city that serves as the seat of Chaves County, New Mexico. Its home to the New Mexico Military Institute, and was a sight for much of Robert Goddard's early rocket works. With a population of about 42,000 Roswell is by all rights just a normal city in the state, and wouldn't be well-known were it not for something that happened on July 7 1947. Personnel from the air field recovered materials from a ranch outside Roswell. Initial press release stated that the materials resembled a "flying disc", but issued a correction that it was in fact a weather balloon. The Roswell Incident was forgotten for over 30 years, until ufologist Stanton Friedman interviewed Major Jesse Marcel about it in 1978. He claimed that the government had pressured him into silence about what they had seen: the object recovered from Roswell was a spacecraft containing alien bodies. In the '90s, the government offered a new explanation of the events: there was a coverup, but it was to hide the existence of Project Mogul. However, this couldn't change the fact that the idea of aliens, or some other strange event, happened that day. The city has found a tourism niche with ufology, and has even referenced it in the city seal.
  • Roswell's ascension wasn't something The Men in Black or the SCP Foundation were looking forward to. It had ascended previously, but they removed it from the Trope Pantheon for "security reasons". The city came back with a vengeance; while it is basically a replica of the "present day" Roswell, now it has a time portal in the air field that shows up about 100 feet above the city in 1947. The Elite Time Patrol Enforcers was assigned to take care of this problem. Strict regulations are made to prevent any paradox or alteration to the timeline. For now, it mainly serves as a way to look back in time to how that day of July 7, 1947 went. However, anyone with a time machine of their own, say Doc Brown and Marty McFly, doesn't have to follow these regulations. That said Emmett Brown doesn't plan to visit that time period, noting it's better if he doesn't go to a time where his younger self is present.
  • It was a bit of a surprise to some that Area 51 wasn't dually ascended as part of a package deal, since that's usually where they move whatever happened in Roswell to. Of course, it does make some sense as the government would prefer people not connecting more dots than they already have. Bugs have said that off the record, where you really want to go stuff about the Roswell incident is Area 52. Some Russian deities wanted the Tunguska River to be ascended along with it since it has similar connotations, albeit its more generally agreed in real like to have just been a meteorite, but the Court of the Gods made clear it would have to make its own case for dominion-ship. Additionally, while the main focus of Roswell as a dominion is something that happened in 1947, 1973 was also an eventful year for the city as Cobra Bubbles managed to save the Earth from aliens convincing them mosquitos are an endangered species.
  • The trope that the city of Roswell was ascended under is Roswell That Ends Well, and as the Trope Pantheon is a sort of hub/mass-crossover all in-fiction explanations are true, even the stuff that contradicts the other stuff. For the Doctor this wasn't exactly new. But the specific event that gave the trope its name is something the Planet Express crew is intimately aware of. Due to an accident involving a supernova and metal in the microwave, they (asides from Scruffy, Hermes and Amy) are behind the Roswell incident. The ship was Bender's body that got damaged from a crash, and Zoidberg was the alien. One could only imagine how Truman would react if he ascended. It's an incident Philip J Fry is rather sheepish about his time due to certain mistakes that made him his own grandfather. Because of his important yet not so intelligent existence the space-time co-ordinates are guarded by the Elite Time Patrol Enforcers as a high priority status.
  • Zoidberg went to Roswell in order to find one of his four hearts that got dissected, as the crew forgot to collect it with his other dissectednote  organs. However he ended up selling his ticket to the local buffet after getting swindled by "Ronnie Roswell", for a "I Crashed In Roswell And All I Got Was This Lousy T-Shirt" T-Shirt. Beheeyem was wearing another T-shirt, however instead of being swindled the Pokemon went along with it due to the fact it's implied the Elgyem line arrived in the Pokemon universe's equivalent of the Roswell incident. To Stan Smith's complete lack of surprise, "Ronnie Roswell" was a persona of Roger. Stan thought it was stupid for him to show up at the city he crashed to back in 1947, along with being confused that there were more aliens that crashed that day. Roger just said "hey it was a busy day" and justified his decision by saying he forgot some of his stuff at the crash site and figured if he was caught he could just say it was a cosplay.
  • Not all aliens that crashed in Roswell were friendly. Granted, Roger isn't exactly friendly but compared to the Harvesters he's a saint. One of their spaceships crashed in Roswell and it was later used to make a computer virus against the mothership. As the Roswell crash was key to humanity's victory over them, they despise the city and regularly send drones to try and destroy the city. Because of this, the Men in Black have had to amp the security within the city of Roswell and develop secret defense networks. Likeminded gods in the Trope Pantheon have aided in their new project, UnderRoswell. Basically its an underground city meant to serve as a secret government stronghold, and study of alien and classified phenomena. Before developing it they first needed to locate where Bender's head was so as to not disrupt his trip back to the 31st century. Despite being intombed for over a millennium, he was actually enjoying it until his friends dug him up.
  • Indiana Jones claims he was one of a team of 20 experts who were called in to analyze artifacts leftover from the saucer's wreckage. After an escape from Area 51, he's not exactly a trusted source. The SCP Foundation is rumored to have used amnestics on him in the past as Roswell is where an alien egg showed up, one that just happens to look like a saucer. Compared to some of the stuff they contain they don't consider the Roswell incident too spectacular, as the alien was essentially just a big ambush predator for them. Really it's the reports of time travel in the region that grab their attention. Interestingly as well-known as the Planet Express' trip was (they won an Emmy for that episode), the Jupiter 2 crew did something similar "before it was cool". That said, they're not in the Roswell records since they landed in Michigan instead, and they were simply mistaken for aliens.
  • The SCP Foundation sees Roswell as a point of interest even if the reported alien they found there was mundane by their standards. As alluded by Roger's visit, normalcy can be maintained with the excuse that any exposed alien is simple cosplay. The Bedtime Stories Crew saw past this excuse and booked a hotel in Roswell, to the surprise of basically nobody. The American West is home to a ton of supernatural and paranormal events, ranging from Wendigo sightings, Skinwalker encounters, and yes, alien (particularly The Greys). They've already made documentaries on several incidents of these kinds, so covering one of the classics was irresistible. "Ronnie Roswell" tried to scam them, but they're familiar enough with the paranormal that they could see through Roger's scheme.
  • In an alternate history, BJ Blazkowicz infiltrated the Nazi-occupied Roswell to retrieve some secret technology. However it was terrestrial; created by a secretive cabal of Jewish scientists and inventors over a millennia before 1961. The ascended Nazi deities were intrigued by the numerous other aliens explanations which, due to the nature of the Trope Pantheon, were all true in the ascended dominion. The Red Skull has assigned Hans Landa to use his credentials to spy on activity in Roswell, in order to see if it has use for his planned Fourth Reich. Personally Col Landa thinks this is a waste of his talent, and (probably correctly) suspects this is some punishment for his past as a Turncoat. Conspiracy theorists had a field day imagining how it might match up with rumors of "Die Glocke" and Nazi UFOs.

[up][up] Wilhelm "Deathshead" Strasse is also ascended in the Pantheon. He was the man responsible for reverse-engineering the Daat Yichud technology and implementing it into Nazi German weapon and vehicle designs. It's also mentioned in the story of The New Colossus that the Roswell location's research notes and artifacts were also analyzed by Deathshead following the American surrender. So it's likely that Deathshead would have a huge interest in getting more artifacts and notes from here, in order to begin rebuilding any tech he currently isn't in possession of.

It should also be noted that before the American surrender in 1948, the US military did get access to Daat Yichud research notes and technology in 1947, in a desperate attempt to turn the tide of World War II on the Allied side. Unfortunately, it was too little, too late, and research was halted when the Nazis forced the US to surrender.

I've been on a Slay the Princess kick lately, and I think the Narrator might be a good fit for the God of Unreliable Narration, in the House of Narrative under Types of Narration.

From His genuinely limited knowledge to His deliberate distortion and withholding of the truth to His blatant bias against the only physical character in the game apart from the player, He's designed to be as untrustworthy as possible to pique the player's curiosity and explore the game, leading to His almost-certain downfall. Almost nobody trusts Him in-universe, and the few that agree with Him only do so for their own purposes. He even admits that He has to withhold the truth to make the player's "goal" easier to accomplish. He has to be unreliable for His plans to work.

While the narrator from The Stanley Parable is comparable and perhaps more recognizable to the wider gaming world, I think the Narrator of Slay the Princess is better "defined" as a character and thus easier to write up. Do you have any remarks?

I stand corrected. I think the problem is that I looked in the database but accidentally covered up the names with the drop down menu. They can stay where they are, then. I'm not going to override anyone's work without very good reason or approval.

EDIT: I also considered Him for Have We Met? due to His lack of Ripple-Effect-Proof Memory during the time loops, but I'll have to give things another look to make sure that isn't taken either.
