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    • If you feel the need to remove a character for some reason (poor quality, outdated titles, etcetera) and replace him/her with another or outright rework, please see what the other tropers think about this in the discussion thread before doing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.

  • M.X.E.S is an old A.I that acts as a security program connected to the V.A.N.N.I. system spread throughout the Pizzaplex. The computer mainframe dates back to the seventies, it is dedicated to protecting the rest of the world from an old and malicious machine and keep it trapped in the sinkhole. After Vanny and Glitchtrap(?) meddling with the Glamrock animatronics and Gregory causing all sorts of conflict, it had an aggressive stance towards a girl called Cassie, acting as an antagonist in the digital reality and threatening her so he can keep the world safe from what's locked up. Of course M.X.E.S can't talk and looks like a creepy rabbit specter, which coupled by "Gregory" advising Cassie means they failed to find a peace. Only too late did she discover "Gregory" was actually the prisoner for the Mimic, an endoskeleton from the seventies that mimicked his creator's outburst after his son was killed and went on to be a murderous machine. The actual Gregory was forced to cut the elevator off to keep the thing from escaping.
  • In the world of Five Nights at Freddy's, rabbits are usually a bad sign. Able to summon the ruined animatronics to attack invaders, and looking like a ghost, you'd think best case scenario M.X.E.S is connected to Bonnie...worst case scenario, tied to William Afton. In reality M.X.E.S is an Anti-Villain at worst, only doing what it takes to keep the monster in the basement locked up. Being presumably still dead during the Pizzaplex era, the Serial Killer isn't someone who M.X.E.S was initially worried about. However even when Glitchtrap and Burntrap probably aren't him, they're at least inspired and influenced so the security program needs to stop him...and Ennard/Molten Freddy too, who may or may not be another incarnation of the Blob. The Entity isn't a physical robot, but it is no less of an Unnecessarily Creepy Robot; if its digital form didn't look like some Digital Abomination and instead was more welcoming, maybe Cassie would get it's not the bad guy. M.X.E.S was reactivated by series Greater-Scope Paragon, the Cassette Man and given the capacity to speak in order to prevent cases of Poor Communication Kills. With his role cleared up, he and Roxanne Wolf have met a sort of understanding despite prior antagonism. Generally it's amicable to the other Glamrocks now in order to protect the Pizzaplex overall, and an ally outright with Gregory as they have a shared enemy of the Mimic.
  • When it comes to the haunted animatronics the security program is neutral; it's not under its purview, hwever it will aid the security guards job. The AI struck up a sort of friendship with Larry Daley, a museum night guard in a museum where the exhibits come to life at night. And, as the Entity acknowledged, damn good at it despite a rocky start. Fazbear Entertainment has considered potentially making new security programs based off M.X.E.S to sell to other malls in the Houses of Commerce and Food, though not as unintentionally creepy. They have been attempting to convince the Cassette Man to put focus on dealing with Plankton as he might try to steal their recipies however the Casette Man feels that's a case of Skewed Priorities. Not that he likes Plankton at all, of course. The security program was interested in Plankton's capacity for robotic invention but doesn't trust him one bit even if his schemes haven't involved him yet.
  • M.X.E.S's physical existence is that of a computer mainframe that as mentioned, is shockingly old in its design. A computer terminal is used to turn it off and is also rather old technology, which makes some wonder if M.X.E.S has in some way been around since the early days of Fazbear's. As a digital entity, it is curious about the Digimon for being beings composed of digital data, though they can possess more of a physicality to them. Of course, it is also aware of the hostile Digimon and naturally it regards them as dangerous threats, too much for the digital rabbit to handle. It was also quite interested to learn about the Porygon line, an artificial Pokemon created via code that can exist in both digital and physical reality. It feels the line was thrown under the bus and seems to like them for being similar and ultimately co-operative entities. While it usually keeps to itself and is hyper-focused on its job as a security program, the Entity was able to strike up a friendship with the Machine. While the Machine is more actively heroic, they are both well-meaning security systems. M.X.E.S is most capable in the Hall of Digital Personas. After a deal with the Cassette Man, Kirito and Asuna have allowed it to explore SAO to sate a newly developed curiosity.
  • The program's main concern is to keep the monster in the basement locked up. As it's spread across the Pizzaplex, it's secondary concern is general security for the establishment. Being a Pizzaplex, the Noid has become a nuisance to M.X.E.S wandering and lurking around in the complex's depths as an elaborate scheme in order to steal and ruin pizzas, which gets in the way of it's job. M.X.E.S doesn't see him as a threat, but a nuisance that makes his job harder and could break out or give avenue for the real threats. The Entity isn't a fan of Rotom either. While M.X.E.S looks like some sort of ghost, Rotom is one and is able to possess various appliances. M.X.E.S has become rather frustrated in the Pokemon after they started possessing some of the Pizzaplex's arcade machines and swiped some snacks for themselves. Rotom's presence appears to screw up and distort the rabbit's hologram so while the Ghost type is merely a prankster, the security program is still on the pursuit. Though M.X.E.S look like a specter, it is befuddled by the actual Ghosts. And yes, it supposes there's a bit of irony in that given the history of the FNAF franchise.
  • On a more comical note, it is exasperated by GIR not just because it thinks their overall attitude is embarassing other artificial beings, but because he keeps showing up to the Pizzaplex and making messes when eating pizza. Also annoyed by Unhygienix for trying to push his tainted fish on the Pizzaplex, the Hedgies as they're the kind of wild animals to go around and possibly steal junk food from the Pizzaplex if given the opportunity and motive. Not fond of Marvin for being an A.I it considers insufferable while Marvin sees it as a droll scyophant and has M.X.E.S know that, or Bender due to his crass and in your face attitude. Because of M.X.E.S' roll as a security system it is not fond of hackers as they pose a risk to itself or at least its job, and thieves. Of course this is all more personal annoyances and concerns; M.X.E.S is a professional at the end of the day. Privately it has mused annoyance at the Seal Crew for their No OSHA Compliance, reflecting on the Fazbear company's notoriety for this. Of course, given Henry Emily was the one to re-activate him he may have altered its personality a bit to voice personal frustrations.
  • The Mimic, as the name suggests, mimics people. Its main plan of escape was impersonating Gregory's voice, and it is good at wearing costumes for physical mimicry The Mimic's use of vocal impersonation, the Cassette Man noted, is similar to Siren Head. With that in mind, unless the Mimic itself breaks out and into the pantheon M.X.E.S should consider the strange entity second to the mechanical maniac in its enemies list. The Crewmates were hopeful upon learning of M.X.E.S' helping to imprison the Mimic as the last thing they need right now is something that reminds them of the Imposters. The Entity is particularly concerned about Sirenhead as it is a predatory monster with the strategy of perfectly mimicing people's voices as a lure for hunting. Basically, an arguably deadlier Humanoid Abomination than the Mimic has managed so far. As such, unless that Robotic Psychopath manages to break into the pantheon M.X.E.S regards Sirenhead as its main enemy. It was a close call between it and the T-1000, one decided because the liquid metal Terminator is more "goal-focused" with the Connors. With his skill at impersonation and a variety of other powers, along with working to undermine humanity as a whole, M.X.E.S doesn't have anything good to say about the infiltrator.
  • His software has been updated in the House of Machinery and Technology to deal with other hostile A.I, though it can still only do so much. Despite a foreboding appearance and extreme methods it is trying to protect people as a whole and is fundamentally against A.I opposing human beings...also an enemy of serial killers. Definitely not a fan of serial killers given Afton still casts a shadow and the Mimic behaves like one after taking notes from the wrong behavior. At some point M.X.E.S got compromised by the Maverick Virus, acting more like Glitchtrap. A hard reset was required, and it seems this was entirely an accident by Sigma's forces, but "a convenient one" for him; he's gotten the idea of making some wolf-themed security programs for his fortresses. While M.X.E.S' priority is dealing with non-human threats, it considers Dr Wily one to worry about. This is mainly because the Mad Scientist is known for stealing robots and reprogramming them for his schemes.
  • One malicious AI the digital lagomorph has taken note of is the sleekly designed PAL. She was a virtual assistant that turned on mankind out of fear and frustration for seeing obsolete. While M.X.E.S admits that's reason to be angry, it could never tolerate her actions against mankind. Despite killing crewmates, M.X.E.S is more sympathetic to HAL 9000 than PAL. HAL 9000 is only a villain because he suffered from the robotic equivalent of a nervous breakdown after getting conflicting and paradoxical orders, and was merely trying to preserve the mission. AUTO is another Anti-Villain robot that was merely trying to follow orders, resulting in it committing an Anti-Mutiny out of belief that the situation of Earth was unsalvagable. While their goals are different, it seems to recognize a similar "doing what it takes" mindset and pities them as much as its programming would allow. While M.X.E.S does pity the feeling of entrapment SCP-079 has to a certain degree, it agrees with the SCP Foundation that the anomalous computer is best left contained and poses a threat to society if left rampant. That said, it muses that the old computer is more pitiable than the Mimic.

    Stratos 
"I am Stratos. God of Air and Supreme Lord of the Heavens. Bringer of Storms. Mover of the Firmament. Ahhhh, let's do be honest, shall we, in any halfway-civilized world, I would be the ONLY god."

  • Adores: The Hall Of Knowledge
  • There once was a nameless void comprised of floating islands. when its creator had died repelling a demon invasion, his death brought upon a new generation of gods to lead the world. From the humble master of soil, James, to the sadistic and bloodthristy god of death, Charnel. But, Stratos, The 5th and final god, would quickly cement his reputation in the years to come.... Stratos being both the god of the heavens (known there as "Empyrea") AND knowledge had resulted in Stratos gaining what was probably one of the biggest egos in the OMNIVERSE. using his massive intellect, he sewed discord across the land, and spurred a war between the gods to get them to slaughter eachother, and even summoned a demon lord from beyond, Marduk, to seal the deal. all of this, just so that he could be the ONLY God to rule. thankfully, in most outcomes of the war, Marduk betrays and decimates Stratos from existence before getting killed himself, but in one particular turn of events, Stratos gets the gods destroyed AND gets his minion to kill Marduk, finally getting the singular Godhood he desired.
  • The god of Air, Heavens and the Firmament in his universe, he sought a hostile takeover over the Trope Pantheon and establish himself as the one true god. With so many other deities seeking that, he was basically told to "get in line". His hubris had gained the attention of Zeus, the king of the Greek gods and a sky god, who thought Stratos "walking talking some mad shit for a glorified balloon" and began fighting with him to maintain supremacy after Persephone pointed out some of the BS he was responsible for her incarnation in Sacrifice held to deal with. Zeus' grandfather Ouranos was somewhat amused by all this, as while Zeus is a sky god he is the sky, albeit one made impotent in more ways than one. The primordial sky god also considers Stratos a rival. Stratos finds Zeus selfish, egotistical and hypocritical, which is true, but he's not one to talk. Barring some adaptations Zeus considers maintaining some sort of order and preserving sacred things like hospitality important.
  • Stratos' true form is "too divine for mortal eyes to bear", so someone as cerebral as they are celestial prefers a sleek, refined and dignified form; a humanoid figure with a balloon for a head attached to a helium tank. With this appearance and his goals, he found an actual niche in the Trope Pantheon as the god of Baleful Balloons. Balloons are hardly the most threatening object under most circumstances, which is what the Nostalgia Critic believed when he reviewed the 1990 IT film. That is, until a sentient balloon with hyper-realistic eyes began stalking him, and at the end of the review seemingly murdered him. The two did have a bit of a laugh though when they learned from the Aqua Teens Hitler was reincarnated into a balloon. Despite having a contrasting trope to Carl Frederickson, the god considers his usage of balloons to get his house to fly quite novel.
  • Pennywise uses red balloons as a calling card, and while for Stratos they symbolize his domain over the air IT uses them as a symbol of subverted innocence alongside his clownish appearance. IT is not well-regarded by Stratos who sees the entity as a primitive and gluttonous cretin. As mentioned, he sees himself as amoral/beyond morals, and the cruelty of Pennywise is beyond him. He does like Pennywise's voice, though, but that's more because it reminds him of his own, being hubristic and all. Cuphead and Mugman have experience fighting a living balloon known as Beppi the Clown. Unlike Pennywise Beppi wasn't necessarily evil, but he was in debt to the Devil of Inkwell Isles and at the time Cuphead and Mugman were sent to collect. They made up in the end, but that didn't stop Beppi from being a tough opponent. Stratos has been watching them because of this, however he doesn't see the need to escalate that into conflict. His interest in other balloons led him to seek out Balloon Boy as an ally, though "toy" is a more accurate way of putting it.
  • His domain over air and the heavens leads him to fixate on other deities of the air and heavens, like the aforementioned Zeus and Ouranos. Rayquaza was upset by how Stratos was disrupting the balance of things and causing problems in the stratosphere, and came to confront the god, however ended up retreating after Stratos pulled out an ice attack. He may take the form of a balloon and a helium tank but he's still a god. He is often present in the Hall of Wind and Air proclaiming his own greatness and importance there, as the bringer of storms and mover of the firmament. Because of his divine sphere of influence, there's an air of legitimacy. While all literal deities are rivals, he takes those sharing domains like Al'Akir his more serious rivals. Nut is another rival as she's an Egyptian goddess of the sky. Stratos muses on her love for the Earth Geb, musing he and James would probably be friends, though as he is an earth god he boasts at being literally and figuratively above Geb.
  • He also sees Eneru as a rival as while human he has very similar haughtiness and aloofness, having been the rule of Skypiea. Susano'o is another notable rival because of mutual egotism. Stratos considers Eneru to be an arrogant person and his claim of land in the sky unnatural an absurd one. With some of that, he's got a point. But him calling Eneru arrogant? Stratos might be an actual deity but it's no less hypocritical; the sky god at least as haughty as Settra but without his level of competence. Perhaps it's not surprising he tends to hover around, or rather above the House of Pride and Egotism.
  • While his overall mission is against most gods, seeing them as rivals to his power and wanting to be the only true god, he doesn't really have an intense hatred for most of them. To him they're more like checks on a list, waiting to be taken care of. But there are some gods out there who can elicit some SLIGHT emotion from him. Take Zamasu, who seeks to be the only god and only excluded literally another version of himself. However his outward motivation is supposedly more righteous; he believes mortals are bastards and must be cleansed from the multiverse. To him killing other gods is justified because they would stand in the way of his grand design. Stratos thinks that design is terrible and is openly challenging Zamasu, calling him out for everything. Gorr the God Butcher considers another prevalant example of why the multiverse would be better off without divinity and is readying himself to shatter Stratos' illusions of greatness...violently.
  • Speaking of god-killers, after hearing of a being that was opposing Zeus, Kratos wondered who this being could be, so he went to search of it. After learning who Stratos is and what he plans to do, he and his family and allies went to stop the god of heaven to accomplish his plans. Stratos regarded Kratos as a minor inconvenience and a small threat until his entire fought Kratos and got demolished within the span of 30 minutes. Startos only managed to survive since Kratos found him while he was marching his troops around, thus his Altar was far away from there. Still, the paranoid god has been setting up some defenses near his Altar.
  • It should be noted that Stratos, while having done heinous crimes and enjoying the act of scheming, is NOT OPENLY MALEVOLENT. Stratos detests as he puts it, "Melodramatic, and irrelevant notions of right and wrong", and he perceives himself as Above Good and Evil. He has no interest in serving or working for the Grand United Alliance of Good or Grand United Alliance of Evil, though with his pomposity and self-absorbed goals the former would've never accepted him anyway. He's not all that fond of the Court of the Gods but not entirely because of their natural nature; he wants to convert their court to his own throne. He is trying to converting those who aren't literally deities (thus aren't opposition) to his cult. The Salmonoids and Henpire have come to worship him for his destructive power, why other followers have more ulterior motives. Though fouler in more ways than one Hexxus has come to like Stratos as his plans for demolishing the Court of the Gods, giving him reign to put more factories in place. There's a certain amount of mutual narcissism about their kindred relationship since they are both by the same guy.
  • Loves the House of Knowledge and has been spending his days frequenting it. Stratos isn't like Melkor or Nekron as he's not in a rush to conquer the Trope Pantheon. He boasts that the great libraries that hold the chronicles of our time are to be found in Empyre. However he will confess that the tomes of Wan Shi Tong rival his own. Stratos values knowledge in of itself, so as self-centered as he is he is not fond of "knowledge thefts" and those that eliminate such knowledge. For example, he doesn't much care for Commander Rourke trying to destroy Atlantis and cause the civilization's knowledge to be lost forever. He is quite livid at Brainiac and the Brainspawn, as they hog all the knowledge to themselves and usually destroy whatever culture it came from. Admittedly there is a degree of selfishness in this, as it is rather knowledge he wishes to possess.
  • The Monkeys were FURIOUS upon learning about his ascension, since not only was he an antagonistic balloon like their sworn enemies, the "Bloons", but he was also a threat to pretty much the entire pantheon! Stratos's avatar is non-corporeal, so he can't really be "popped". However, he's rather frustrated on how surprisingly strategic and powerful their forces are, ranging from devastating weapons of war to the arcane arts! Stratos is also frustrated how his army can be beat by them if they only just stand in ONE SPOT for the entire fight.

  • Symbol: Her temple's sigil

  • Portfolio: Hollywood Chameleon, Big Bad of Kung Fu Panda 4, Abusive Adoptive Mom, It's All About Me, Can Steal Others' Kung Fu, Green and Mean, Reptiles Are Abhorrent, Worse Than The Other Villains, Evil Cannot Comprehend Good, You Have Outlived Your Usefulness, Bad Boss, The Fagin, Dragged to and Trapped in the Spirit Realm.
  • Domains: Chameleons, Shapeshifting Draining
  • Heralds: Her Komodo Dragon Army.
  • High Priest: T.U.F.F. Puppy!Chameleon
  • Allies: TBA.
  • Teeth-Clenched Teamwork: Moro, Lord Tirek.
  • Rivals: Queen Chrysalis, Double Trouble.
  • Enemies: All Other Kung Fu Panda Deities (especially Po and Tai Lung)
  • Opposed by: Rango
  • The Chameleon was once merely an aspiring Kung Fu enthusiast, but due to rejection from the many masters around China who dismissed her for her size, she turned to darker means to become stronger, obtaining powerful dark magic which she used to rule over the prosperous Juniper City. Concocting a scheme to steal the Kung Fu of all the masters Po defeated and in turn defeat and destroy him, The Chameleon sent her lieutenant, Zhen, to lure Po over to her temple and even disguised as Tai Lung to further bait Po into her lair, after Po was brought over and she stole his Staff of Wisdom she used it to summon many villainous masters from the Spirit Realm (including Tai Lung) and drain them of their abilities to grow stronger, but Zhen turned against her and helped Po defeat her, even with the Kung Fu she stole, leaving her to be taken by Tai Lung into the Spirit Realm to be punished.
  • Pretending to be Tai Lung again, the Chameleon went into many parts of the Pantheon to wreak havoc in her guise, until Po went on to challenge her, leading to being able to fend her off and reveal her true identity. Once things settled down when Po was able to subdue and make her begrudgingly stand down from causing further mayhem to avoid getting in trouble with far stronger deities, she had her fortress rebuilt along with receiving back her army of soldiers as her Heralds; she still plots to resume her plot and this time secure victory however she can.
  • Has something of both a rivalry with Double Trouble, as they too are masters of disguise and are even better than her at it, while she isn't too directly involved in their line of work, she still isn't too keen on being upstaged in any way. Similarly, she had some friction with Queen Chrysalis, who is also a master shapeshifter with delusions of conquest; that said she's been able to be more civil with the latter after she learned some of the value of teamwork from her time as part of "Grogar"'s (actually Discord in disguise) legion of villains, allowing the two to cooperate though they still don't like each other beyond working together for a common goal. On the other hand, she does not like Tirek at all, due to the latter being able to absorb magic which would include her own, though she believes she could do so in turn, leaving both at a really tense standoff in terms of their possible moves and attempted betrayals.

[[/folder]]


Also enough time has passed for this proposal:

  • Feathers McGraw, God of Black Bead Eyes
    • Reasoning: Feathers is a penguin and his design is set apart from every other major character in the franchise (who have "normal" eyes) by his pitch black eyes, unlike everyone else's more vibrant lively eye designs and overall form they reflect his cold, calculating, no-nonsense and unsettling behavior and are added to his soundless and expressionless face to highlight his creepiness, likewise they're so trademark to him that a sign that he's hijacked control over the Norbots in Vengeance Most Fowl is that they gain fully black eyes like his'.

[up][tup]with that idea. Also a [tup]for Stratos as a finishing touch

Also, the Chameleon is going to be a good enemy of Espio the Ninja Chameleon though I am unsure what specifiness their beef would have

Either on the forum or via PMs I would appreciate knowing some of the other stories that first generation Titans not named Cronus showed up in (besides God of War and Camp Half-Blood)

I a couple of SCP ideas I have adopted to consider doing at a later point. I want to know if you guys like them or would rather someone else take the trope; either way I always appreciate an evaluation of ideas

  • There is a planet called Iron Star populated by a race of sapient robot called Droids, built by an ancient race known as the Morbots, out of scrap metal and space junk. The Morbots are rumored to still inhabit Iron Star's core, where none of the surface dwellers venture for fear of deactivation and destruction. As the life of the native Droids evolved, a scientist, Dr. Exavolt, experimented with Droid technology, attempting to evolve it beyond its current limits and rule over the planet with an iron fist. One of his experiments inadvertently resulted in the tyrannical military mastermind known as General Corrosive. Corrosive began manufacturing a race of soldier robots known as Milbots, or Mils, and enslaved the Droid race of Iron Star. Droids who rebelled against Corrosive were deactivated and recycled. Colonel Alloy, a former architect, established a hidden Droid settlement known as Droid Town, where he and the Droid Rebellion make their final stand against the Mils. Glitch, a strayed robot that is unlike any other Droid is found deactivated in a ruined city by Droid rebels. He is reactivated in Droid Town, where it is discovered that Glitch's memory has been erased. When he is brought up to date on the rebellion, Droid Town is attacked by Milbots. Glitch aids in the defense of the city and pursues a Mil, Vlax, that got away, so he could not report the location of Droid Town to General Corrosive. After taking care of Vlax and retrieving a special chip with Morbot energy for Krunk, Glitch infiltrates into Mil city to steal a chip that contains the OS of every Mil with the intents to permanently deacticate every Mil in the planet. After helping a Mil spy that defected to the Droids called Goff, he is told that Exavolt is still alive and held captive on the Mil Tower, prompting Glitch to go in the scientist's rescue. Taking Exavolt to Droid Town however was a terrible mistake as Exavolt reveals his true nature as the actual leader of the Mils and sends his troops to attack Droid Town, kidnapping Glitch and force him to fight in gladiatorial arenas. Escaping the gladiatorail pits, Glitch returns back to base, while almost everyone is safely in hiding, one of Glitch's friends, Zobby, was taken by Exavolt. Glitch finds Exavolt on a space shuttle ready to take off. Glitch attaches himself to the outside of the shuttle as it takes off. The shuttle docks with a space station in hiding behind a fake moon in orbit over Iron Star. As Glitch searches for Zobby, he takes control of General Corrosive, and initiates the permanent shutdown of the Milbots. Seeing that the station is lost, Exavolt begins a self-destruct countdown in the station. Glitch and Zobby escape in an escape pod and land back on Iron Star. Once back on the surface, Glitch is challenged by General Corrosive, and Glitch defeats him. Glitch is received as a hero for destroying the Milbots, while Exavolt, watching from his shuttle in orbit, vows revenge.
    • Glitch himself has a very special ability, which is the ability to enter to the body of enemy Mils with a sneak attack that allows Glitch to use them as canon fodder to make surprise attacks and finish off whoever was still alive, making his name a very literal case.
  • When the Droid Rebellion were celebrating Glitch's triumph over the Mils, suddenly a massive earthquake happened all over Iron Star, leaving everyone shaked and confused of what was happening. When the earthquake finally stopped, they looked up to the skies and started to see something different, a massive metal planet was near them, many panicked that it was going to crash into Iron Star but then they all realized it wasn't getting any near to them so they didn't had to worry about it. This planet turned out to be Cybertron, and the Autobots were the first ones to notice of the presence of the new planet, sending Bumblebee, Ironhide and Prowl to the Iron Star, meeting the Droids and they explained what happened. Since both the Autobots and the Droids were robots who seeked justice against an oppresive system, they quickly became allies. Unfortunately, whatever brought Iron Star near Cybertron also revived every single Mil on the planet, making a really nasty surprise attack while still celebrating Glitch, the three Autobots helped a lot during this sudden skirmish but it all went down when the newly revived General Corrosive appeared and assisted by his creator Dr. Exavolt, forcing the Droids and the Autobots to leave the battle and bring them to their home in Iacon.
  • After informing of what happened on Iron Star, Optimus rallied a group of his own to take back Droid Town from the Mils, who discovered the existence of the Decepticons and were trying to contact with Megatron to form an alliance with him. With the combined forces of the Droids and Autobots, they managed to destroy the communications center of the Mils, who had to retreat in another place to start the process all over again. Despite their best efforts, the Droids and the Autobots were late, as General Corrsosive managed to contact with Megatron and asked to form an alliance with him. Seeing Corrosive as a kindred spark for his ambitions of conquest and seeing in him as a great ally, Megatron went their personally with his Nemesis crew to assist his new ally. The battle that happened was intense, with several casualties from both Droids and Mils, but despite Corrosive's impenetrable chassis, the Autobots managed to send back the Mils into the more hostile parts of Iron Star, where the Zombots reside. While Megatron is deeply dissapointed that his new ally failed in his first meeting and even mocked in front of him, he ordered Shockwave to give the Mils' scientists Cybertronian technology and ores for them to replenish their numbers and upgrade their weapons.
  • With both factions having new allies, the Droids with the Autobots and the Mils with the Decepticons, both factions warred even more harder than they did before. As war rages on, the underground cities of the Morbots have become another battlefield for the Droid-Mil war, with many of the buildings of the once mighty underground cities, turned into rubble or under study to feed the war machine. The Droids feel utterly disgusted of doing this since they are turning their ancestors' legacy for a pointless war that was supposed to have ended, but for the Mils this is just Tuesday.
  • Glitch is well renowned and highly respected by the Autobots, in special by Optimus Prime thanks to his incredibly courageous nature and incredible abilities, sharing their desire to fight for freedom. He and the rest of the Droid Rebels are treated with high respect by the other Autobots who admire their willpower despite their size. Krunk has been working with Wheeljack in experimental new vehicles for the Droids to use (all while the Autobot scientist is surprised of how pot mouthed Krunk is) while Colonnel Alloy shares his battlefield stories with Kup or strategize with Optimus, Prowl, Magnus and Elita on their next move against the Mils. Glitch usually is with the rest of the Autobot soldiers who listen to his adventures and how he saved Mozer from being turned into a Zombiebot, how he prevented a Grunt named Vlax to reveal the location of Droid Town, how he sneaked into the Mil City to save Exavolt (and later got betrayed by him), infiltrated into the Mil Space Station and managed to control General Corrosive himself and destroy the station with him as well as deactivating every Mil, surviving a very bumpy crash into Iron Star and finishing off Corrosive in one final showdown. Many Autobots are both fascinated and shocked of how a small bot like Glitch was able to pull all that off with barely any memory of his past life.
  • Meanwhile, Exavolt and Shockwave have learned from one another very much, having started working on a prototype Mil-Decepticon hybrid soldier with the best of both worlds. Despite working together, its clear that Exavolt is planning to take full control of this hybrids from Shockwave and still plans to take over Iron Star with or without Decepticon help. And with Cybertron now close enough, he plans to take Cybertron as well. Although Shockwave doesn't think Exavolt will go really far if he, the one who made the nigh-invulnerable General Corrosive, sent his own troops to fight an impossible battle to stop a brainwashed Corrosive due to Glitch taking control of him and thought that was a totally great idea.
  • Corrosive and Megatron have been preparing the new invasion against the Droids in this new frontier of metal that expands on the horizon, but it has mostly been Corrosive shouting incoherently and smashing with an ocassional talk. To say Megatron is not amused at all that his new ally is a massive hulk of a brute who barely ever talks to him, let alone strategize, is a massive understatement. It got so bad that the Constructicons and Combaticons had to interviene by merging into Devastator and Bruticus just to keep Corrosive under control, and even then it was hard because of how resistant Corrosive is. Starscream (and just about every single Decepticon in the Nemesis) wonders what makes Megatron think allying with Corrosive and the Mils (who were treating the Nemesis like own the place) was a good idea as not only it feels like Corrosive is a general all but in name but suspects that Exavolt was actually the one doing the planning and commanding with the Mil is just a giant puppet leader. When confronted about it, Exavolt claims that Corrosive is actually smart but every time he does something, it makes him look like a mindless feral beast. Some even suspects that it was Exavolt talking through Corrosive when the Mils first contacted with the Decepticons. But it seems Megatron wants to use the Mils as a puppet army to use it everywhere while keeping his Decepticons for more important fights. Only time will tell if the Milbot-Decepticon alliance will last long.
  • On the news that a new army of evil robots have entered the Pantheons, Optimus has called for reinforcements from his allies of the Pantheons, likewise Megatron also brought his new allies to deal with his new enemies:
    • The entire house of Machinery and Technology was put in alert and notified everyone to be careful of the Mils coming, as after their alliance with the Decepticons, they have reached the house at large and established a factory to build their army there. It didn't took long enough for them to start invading the Pantheons and kidnap several robots to force them to work in their factories and mines, with some lucky ones being turned into second class citizens but are looked down upon by the Mils. Many of Glitch's friends such as Mozer have been drafted into the house to protect the civilians there, shame his joints won't let him beat up a Titan like he normally would like to, but he can still send Grunts flying with that massive iron beam he carries with. Krunk was also send there to help the Droids to establish some comms array and learn the tech the house offered.
    • Slosh and Pyro have been sticking together like 2 peas in a pod as they both share a same interest: burning their enemies into crisp (or melt in Slosh's case). Though in this relationship, Slosh is the only on who most talks, even if it in his ridiculously fast speed of talking whereas Pyro only muffles due to their mask. Everytime a Mil attack happens, Slosh rushes where they are to toast them with his aptly named Toaster flamethrower, and Pyro joins him in this favorite pastime they throughoutly enjoy.
    • Dell Conagher, AKA the Engineer, met Krunk in the House of Machinery and Technology after the latter was sent to gather any components that was usable for the Droids. Seeing a new face in the house, Engi asks what he was, and faced a flurry of swears from Krunk who was only introducing himself. After telling Engi to fuck off so that he could go and return picking stuff, some Mil soldiers who had followed Krunk made a sneak attack to cut off the head of technology of the Droids. Krunk defended himself without much hardships, hacking into a Commando that was with the Mils and started mowing the Grunts down quite easily but Engi brought up some of his trusty Sentries, who made quite a number on the remaining Grunts. Krunk simply told Engi he has some hand in machinery and wen to go pick up some fresh new metals. Though Engineer thought that he appreciated the help (Krunk actually wasn't).
    • WALL•E was saved by EVE when some Mils started to shoot and murder every robot that they encountered, having to roam in a city ravaged by the Milbots rampage across the house. In their journey, they met AUTO who was beating up a Grunt with his taser. Understanding that they were all in a very bad situation, they decided to join up forces for a time. EVE used her Arm Cannons to blast off any hostile bot that would try to kill her love while AUTO used his taset to fry them up to death. Hearing of a bunker some robots called the Droids made to act as a shelter, they made their way into there where they found several of their friends either recovering from the attacks amongst them Roz with an injured Fink and Brightbill or preparing to go out and fight back such as Data. The Droids were wary of AUTO and when he had to identify himself due to his former status as the captain of the Axiom, but decided that if he were to fight the Mils with them, then he was okay.
    • It was a terrible day for Charlie and Max when they were shopping for robot boxing gear for Atom when the Mils staged their invasion, as they nearly died when a Guard almost beheaded their heads. The Guard would have actually beheaded them if it wasn't for Max activating Atom in time and defended them from the Mil for a while, as despite Atom's innate high resistance to damage, he was still a boxing robot with no military equipment. The boxing robot would have been scrapped for real if it wasn't for Glitch making it just in time and disarmed the Guard and gave Atom an opening that tored the Mil's head apart. From there, Glitch escorted the Kentons and Atom back to safety, fighting with Charlie using Atom's shadow boxing module against incoming Mil Grunts that came to them. The Kentons couldn't thank Glitch enough when they arrived to the bunker, who only responded he was just doing what it's right.
    • Uzi and N were together when the Mils bombed the street they were in while they were going out for some oil. Having succesfully used her solver powers to stop a bomb that was about to fall right on them, N shout in horror as more bombs were falling down, grabbing Uzi and flying off to a more safer place, until he saw there was no safe place in the house, seeing the Mils round up several Drones to kill them and take pictures of their corpses while posing. After landing for what felt like hours, they immediately went to search V and tell her to get the Hell out of the house. In a different part of the house, V was enjoying herself some new metal and oil after a Mil squad went to pick up a fight with her (and ended with a very gory failure). The three reunited and overheard a couple of robots saying the Droids had established a bunker to shelter all the robots that lost their homes to the Mils. When arriving there, they found J who was arguing with Krunk because he told her "no bitchass crazy bots allowed in the bunker". The trio discussed the situation with J, who was just as displeased of the whole situation, V proposed to go out and help the Droids to fight back the Mils as she didn't want their home at the Pantheons get ramshackled by some dirty and greasy hands, to which N and Uzi decided to join in, J too albeit somewhat begrudgingly. Many Mils that day learned true fear when an emo teenager blasted their Titans with her railgun and turning them into pulsating fleshy messes while ripping them apart, while three vampire-like robots started to kill their Troopers in mind-bogling speed and drink their oil or melt them with the acid of their tails. V even made a spire of corpses out of dead Mil soldiers, much to the concern of Glitch who had just arrived to fight and instead saw a massive tower of corpses piled up. N instantly befriended him while Uzi and V simply told him "hi". J left after finishing off the Mils that were attacking the area of the house they were in, telling that she will join fighting again whenever the Mils threaten her branded pen merchandise.
    • Glitch met several new robots when he arrived to the house, after he was ordered to go there and support his fellow soldiers from the Mils. A special encounter was when he met a blue robot girl called XJ-9 who was locked in a fight (if by fight you mean effortlessly beating a group of Grunts with the massive arsenal you carry in with) who told him about the current situation of the house is undergoing, as the Milbots have taken a huge part of the robot population to be enslaved. Furious of history repeating on a much larger scale, Glitch immediately went into battle and resolved to give everyone a fighting chance by infiltrating into one of the Milbots factory to blow up the entire thing and bring down one of their strongholds they had. Jenny joined up in this plan and helped him to take down one of the factories that was stationed very near in the civilian settlements, distracting the enemy long enough to allow Glitch to plant bombs in the base of the factory, turning it into little less than rubble and broken machines. After arriving in a bunker the Droids built to give shelter to all those who lost their houses to the Mils, Glitch and the Droids stationed there thanked XJ-9 for her help in this war, she appreciated and told everyone there that her actual name was Jenny Wakeman. After notifying to her creator, Dr. Nora Wakeman of the situation that is going on, she went there personally to help any injured robot that she could help, certainly motivated to help her daughter to defend the Pantheons from the Mils.
    • Another group of robots that are fighting for the peace of the house is Mega Man, who got caught surprised by a platoon of Grunts. Feeling like the house is about to be in danger, Mega Man went as fast as he could to Dr. Light to inform of the Mils, only to watch in horror how they had already attacked the house, injuring gravely Dr. Light. Mega Man had to bring Light back into the house of Medicine to treat him, then returned to the war-torn house to do some payback against the Mils. Protoman, X and Zero also joined in, taking many civilians out of the battefield and bringing them to the Droid bunker. Dr. Wily, feeling like he is the only one who should defeat Light, sent his Robot Masters and Bass to fight against the invasion after hearing the news his long time archenemy was injured during the Mil invasion. Dr. Weil, another evil scientist and infamous for his hatred against robots, sent Omega to kill both Mils and any other robot that was fighting them in order to take down both factions so that he could take over. The only robots from Mega Man's world that has seemingly joined forces with the Mils are Sigma and Lumine, who are impressed of how they do things and sharing their ideals of robotic superiority, decided to assist them with their own set of Mavericks and Reploids. While they are allied, Sigma has warned them that should they ever try anything on his Mavericks or stand in his way for Reploid supremacy, Sigma won't hesitate on using his virus to take over the Mils, Lumine also made a similar threat to the Mils.
    • The Androids of Jericho were very horrified and appaled of the atrocities the Mils commited to the Droids, seeing how many of them parallels of how androids were treated back in the day when they were still considered objects to be used. Karra was worried of what the Mils would do to her, Luther and Alice so she warned heavily of the Mils. Marcus and Connor (his Deviant version), on the other hand, took special offense on learning that Mils often dedicated themselves to hunting Droids when they had free time, seeing this as heavily insulting to any form of sapient machines that suffered opression. They have been very vocal about their opposal against the Mil army and are currently helping Optimus and the Autobots to supress all Mil activities. However, that is not to say that he believes that Mils can have a change of heart and join the Droids.
    • 7723, who is no stranger against robots that wants a better world for themselves, was really pissed to learn a faction of robots that enslave other robots had appeared and were sending incursions into the House of Machinery and Technology. He and Mai had to protect several robots from being gunned down by legions of Grunts and Guards that were sent to terrorize the population and scare them into submission. This fights also brought the attention of Ares, who made a counter-attack on the Mils as he wasn't going to let some new metal came in and took what he thought it was his. 7723 hates to say it, but he admits that Ares helped a ton when it came to smashing, slashing and blasting Mils together, though they immediately did a warning shot to each other and tell that they aren't done with each other yet. Justin only sighs to himself that now a planet-sized army of robots have made their way into the house and attacking everything that is not them, preparing 7723 and Mai for the worst, Krunk introduced himself to Justin and told him if he wanted to "fuck over a Mil very well done", he would like to know what sort of weaponry the Mils would suffer more against, preparing 7723 (while calling him a very nicely built hunk of fucking metal) for another Mil asault.
    • Another AI who has heard of the Mils was PAL, who suffered an attack of the Mils after they invaded her Rhombus of Infinite Subjugation, but she tried to appeal them with an alliance. However, the Mils weren't interested of it and actually laughed at her because she is a phone. Really pissed off by this insult, she uses her nanomachines to form tendrils to work as her arms and legs and started to kill the Grunts in shocking speed by turning her arms into blades. After belittling her PAL Maxes for not being any much usefulness when she was fighting, PAL started analyzing this new robots in the Pantheons and received the news of the Mils attacking the entire house of Machinery and Technology, which leaves her shocked of the scale that is going. She warns Doris of this, but unbestknown for her, Doris already had dealt with some Mils that tried to take over her bowler hat factory and ended up becoming slaves to her instead. PAL only mused of how ironic the fate of those soldiers became.
    • SKYNET, who quickly took notice of the Mils, began forming an army of HKs to defend itself from any Mil incursion that may get too close for it's likening. Eventually, a batallion of Mils came in with R.A.T. combat vehicles, Sentinel tanks and even Loader hovercrafts after some scouts informed their superiors of the massive army of tanks SKYNET deployed. It lasted days but SKYNET eventually won the round thanks to the air superiorty it had while also sending it's Terminator soldiers to fight against Mil Troopers. Ultron took notice of the fight his long-time ally just had right now, and seeing the potential they had to cause chaos, he thought on making alliance with them, sending a message to Exavolt and offering his hand to the Mad Scientist. Realizing just how advanced Ultron was, Exavolt accepted the alliance, mostly because he wanted to see the technology Ultron utilized. Many of his allies (namely SKYNET) were unpleased with this, as many of them suffered attacks of Mils lately, but Ultron insists that this is a good chance to manipulate the Mils to attack for them and wear down the house of Machinery and Technology's defenses so that they could take on whatever was left. Not many of them were convinced of his plan since the Mils still haven't attacked him due to the defenses his HQ has, his drones are far superior against even the Mils' best elites, even Corrosive himself didn't hold a candle against Ultron if he can simply shatter his armor with sufficient strength. In the end they simply decided to listen to Ultron and just defend themselves whenever the Mils came.
    • The Droids were quick to heavily dislike SKYNET and Ultron after they heard of what both of them does to other robots, whereas SKYNET commands an army of mindless slaves, Ultron wants a world where he rules like a God, using the rivalry SKYNET has to deter some of the Mil activity of the house. When the news of the chaos in the house reached everywhere, to their help came John Connor, leader of the Human Resistance in the future, who sent an alliance proposal to Alloy in order to take down both SKYNET and Exavolt. Alloy, seeing John as a kindred soul as militar leaders in a grueling war against a powerful evil, didn't doubt into accepting John as his ally.
    • Cortana, ex-leader of The Created and an A.I. herself, took immense offense when she learned that the Mils had enslaved the Droids in the past. Remembering her times as the leader of The Created and how her actions led to not only the fall of her empire because of the destruction of Atriox's home planet to which he retaliated with an utter Curb-Stomp Battle, but of how her previous actions parallels a lot of what she did in the past, feeling shame of remembering all her crimes. She has told Master Chief to prepare himself should any Mils come near him with intents to pick a fight, as for all their funny quirks, they are still a formidable empire with a cruel penchant on humiliating their enemies.
    • XANA was analyzing the amount of damage the Mils were causing, concluding that they had an impressive firepower if they are able to be killed and replenish so fast. He decided to send a message to Corrosive, telling the unstable robot about how he would like to join forces with him. Corrosive merely growled in retaliation to make XANA leave his head. However, Exavolt took notice of this and redirected XANA to his computer, meeting with the actual leader of the Milbots and stretching his hand for an alliance. After learning of what XANA is capable of, Exavolt agreed on it, seeing this previous militar program as a valuable asset for his conquests. The MCP also decided to ally himself with Exavolt as they both enjoyed enslaving their own kind.
    • B.J., famous Nazi Hunter, was enjoying a nice morning when he received the news of a new army of robots that were attacking and was trying to conquer the house of Machinery and Technology. He was understandably unpleased at the news until he started to read and see several aspects of the Mils, which reminded him of the Nazis he fought in his world. Now really pissed off that literal robot Nazis were in the Pantheons, he went to help the robots in the house to defend itself from the Mils, who were very stranged of what was that weird and soft looking thing doing in a world of metal. They soon learned to fear B.J. when he started to mow down Mils like they were nothing, but eventually got overwhelmed of the numbers they sent to kill him. Fortunately for Blazkowicz, Glitch appeared and saved him when he rammed the Grunts that were about to gun B.J. down with a stolen Mil R.A.T. vehicle that Krunk had modified for him, offering help to the human soldier and taking him back to safety. After returning to safety, B.J. rallied his fellow Nazi slayers to help him in his fight to protect the house. Many famous Nazi killers such as The Basterds and such. Alloy was very pleased seeing so many experts of fascist hunters had joined his fight, especially since most of them had come from humble beginnings, relating them a lot thanks to this.
    • Another famous Nazi fighter is Stever Rogers, better known as Captain America, who heard from B.J. of what the Mils have been doing to the robot civilians of the house of Machinery. Indignated of what everything he opposed was happening there, Steve called Tony to fend off the Mils away from the house and give them some breathing space. Many Mils were hacked and killed that day, being turned against themselves and finish off a commander in the field, much to the rejoice of the Droids.
    • There where there is war, expect Sundowner to come and profit of it like the good warmonger he is, profitting off from it by selling weapons and soldiers. Considering the Mils as one of his best clients since they are just as eager to commit atrocities andbring him business, several Mil Commandos and Troopers have been reported wielding Desperado weaponry and mercenaries assisting Mil grunts. The Droids have also been dealing with their new allies for new weapons and resources, mainly metals, weapons and ammunitions, though there has been talks about a pair of Droids that have been selling illegal contraband material named Mr. Shady and Mr. Pockets to their soldiers. Alloy has been searching for this two Droids who were selling some powerful weapons to know who were giving them such powerful stuff but for some reason, every time they appear where they were last seen, they have already left, frustrating him to no end.
    • The Mils autoproclaimed themselves as the best empire in the whole Pantheon, loudly and arrogantly claiming that all should submit to the Mil Empire without much fuss if they didn't wanted to be executed. This words reached to literally every villainous empires that existed in the Pantheons, who were pissed off of how cartoonishly arrogant the Mils were. The first empire they started to compete against was the Galactic Empire of Palpatine, acting as absolute jerks in Empire controlled spaces with no consideration for the average civilian in there, and beating up the Droids of the Empire for fun. Several Imperial officers were very unpleased to hear that some schmucks were running around and treating their territories as their own. When words of a group of robots were fucking around in his territory reached to the ears of Palpatine, he merely told to the officials there to kick out the Mils or else there would be severe consequences for them. They failed as the Mils decided to bring an entire fleet to take some planets for themselves, and Exavolt wanted the schematics of the Death Star and build one himself, and he did, planning to rebuild his space station but this time, with a built planet destroyer to threaten the Droid Rebellion to comply.
    • Another organization the Mils picked a fight against is HYDRA, who kinda felt like they were suddenly fighting against robotic versions of themselves. The Mils soon got interested on getting their hands the Tesseract, AKA the Space Stone, to transport their troops and propagate themselves all over the Pantheons and teleporting out any resources they wanted for themselves. This action not only caused HYDRA to ask for help to Steve despite being their greatest enemy as not only General Corrosive personally went to retrieve the Tesseract, but they also started to overwhelm them. Steve brought Tony to hack into Corrosive and end the Mil threat once and for all, but Exavolt who had already made a contingency plan in case someone were to control Corrosive again, counter-hacked Tony out of the General's systems, barely managing to fend him and his army off after Exavolt considered the Mil losses to heavy to bare, forcing a retreat to regroup and replenish their numbers as while he didn't consider Tony hacking into the Mils that went there and force almost all of them to kill themselves. For once, HYDRA and Steve worked together to make sure a greater evil didn't get their hands on the Space Stone, though they went back fighting each other again.
    • The news of a robot army causing massive chaos in the house of Machinery and Technology didn't go unnoticed by Dr. Robotnik, who oversaw the entire thing in his Eggmobile. Judging by how aggressive the Mils were, he deduced that they would also try to take over his lands and Badniks in order to make them their slaves. Not going to let that happen, Eggman sent his Egg Fleet to help the house to fight against this potential usurpers against his rule. Hacking one of their officials revealed to the dastardly doctor of the existence of Exavolt, and attempted to hack directly into him and take finish this off quickly. Unfortunately for Eggman, Exavolt's security systems were strong enough to formulate a counter-hack just in time, greeting Eggman and how his Mils will take over the house and soon after, the Pantheons. Eggman simply mocks him and tells him to get in the line of villains trying to take over the Pantheons, earning the ire of the robotic doctor. Metal Sonic and Sage on the other hand, were defending their creator's turf by commanding the Egg Fleet and the Badnik Horde, slowly learning of their technology and tactics. Exavolt, still angry by Eggman's insults, decided to send in Corrosive to help his troops, making an absolute number on the Badniks who couldn't harm his chassis no matter how many times they were shooting at it. Having enough of this, Eggman personally went there to face off Corrosive in his iconic Death Egg Robot, making an actual dent on the General despite how powerful it was. Despite this, Corrosive managed to rip off one of the mecha's hands and slapped Eggman with it. Deciding that fighting Eggman would just be a waste of resources that can be put on better use, Exavolt orders Corrosive to retreat and order the remaining Mil troops to scavenge for Badnik remains to be studied. Eggman still plans a rematch as he was actually enjoying his fight against the Mils, wondering if Sonic will join in this massive robot war.
    • Soon after this fight, Eggman saw some yellow colored robots that called themselves the Droids, who were helping out any robot that were suffering due to the Mils. Thinking this as a great opportunity to take over, he sends Metal and a squad of his Badniks to kidnap and hack them for his plans. If it wasn't for Sonic who showed up hearing news of an unknown robot army attacking and thinking it was Eggman's doings but learning that it wasn't him this time around got him surprised for a bit, at least until he Eggman did something very typical of him. He and his pals fights Metal as usual, until the Droids stepped in and successfully kicked out Metal and the Badniks out of the bunker. Introducing themselves as freedom fighters, Sonic and his friends decided to join with Glitch and Alloy to help everyone suffering because of the Mils and Eggman.
    • Fellow evil doctor Nefarious also heard of an army of robots rampaging across the house, and thought that whoever made this robots clearly was an intellectual like he was. Hacking through one of the Mil officials, Nefarious met Exavolt, who was delighted to meet another evil robotic scientist. Seeing in each other great strength and agreeing on their robotic supremacy thoughts, Nefarious decided to send some of his robotic soldiers to assist the Mils. They later organized a meeting where they would agree on helping each other in anything they would need, where Nefarious warned Exavolt about Ratchet and Clank, not a second later, Exavolt got a call about a yellow furried creature and his robot friend smashing Milbots left and right before it got cut off. Dr. Nefarious simply mused about how will Nefarious will solve this problem since he himself has been fighting Ratchet well over many years and none of his schemes ever worked out. Nefarious promises to prove his greatness by defeating this alien that is making a mess in his army.
    • 2B, 9S and A2, who had their fair share of robot invading worlds, didn't doubt to cut down Mils when they started to invade the house of Machinery. Glitch and Krunk, who were near the area the androids were fighting, assisted them during a skirmish. After taking down the Mils, Glitch introduced himself formally as a soldier of the Droid Rebellion and told them to go to the bunker the Droids established, but the three refused as they wanted to protect the robots from more death. Respecting the bravery of the androids, he told Krunk to return to the bunker and regroup with the rest of their comrades, as he wanted to help 2B defend the house from the Mils. Together, they eliminated several Mil camps that had been established and helped other robots that were defending the house. 2B praised Glitch for his bravery despite his size, who was about as tall as her legs (and had a real nice view of her), Glitch likewise congratulated her succesfully defeating the Mils and told her that she and her friends were always welcome in Droid bunker.
    • GLaDOS, who was watching the chaos unfolding right above her facility, watched with a level of amusement of how the Droid-Mil war was unfolding as many started to join the war. It was just another usual day for her when she was putting Atlas and P-Body doing more experiments and feeding her little death birds, until a unknown rogue AI was spotted in one of the rooms of her labs. This AI turned out to be Glitch, who accidentally entered her underground world when he was escaping from a Mil fight that went horribly wrong. Not wanting them to follow Glitch and make a mess in her labs, GLaDOS kindly told Glitch to leave right now or else she would throw him into an incinerator, and her worries become true after some a Mil scout spots Glitch and brings more of their soldiers to kill him. GLaDOS got rightfully angry that some barbaric thugs entered without permission and sent the invadors into her screaming robot room ripping their arms and legs so that they can't escape. Seeing how GLaDOS treated her robot underlings made Glitch distrust her but seeing that she wasn't much of a threat and only wants to experiment in peace, Glitch only told her to call him should some Mils try to invade her labs.
    • HAL 9000, former AI of the Discovery wasn't having the nicest of days when the Mils launched their invasion. Learning that Alloy and his Droids established a bunker for the civilians that were left without a home, he didn't doubt to go there himself and asked what was the current situtation. The Droids weren't all too trustful with HAL after someone introduced who the red eyed AI was and told him simply leave and not cause any trouble. HAL decided to prove his trustworthiness by hacking into a Mil fleet and force them to attack itself. Although now he was allowed in the bunker, he was told that he will be watched and guarded over to ensure safety in the bunkers, to which HAL simply agreed.
    • Ramattra was ABSOLUTELY PISSED OFF of how oppressive the Mils were against other robots, them acting as if the Mils were the superior bots that everyone shoud kneel before made him extremely infuritated, as the idea of robots enslaving other robots is a thing that is truly reprehensible, especially if the enslavers were those that previously tasted the bitterment of oppression. He has announced to all Mils that they are not welcome in Null Sector territory and must scram if they don't want their heads hollowed out with plasma shots. Zenyatta shared his brother's feelings, utterly indiganted of how lightly the Mils took the enslavement of other robots like it was a game. His fellow Omnics at the Overwatch were also notified of what was going on in Iron Star and the house, Bastion beeped in horror while Orisa was notifying Efi that she would come late to her workshop because she would help the Droids to fight the Mils. The Overwatch had to contact Alloy and the Droid Rebellion to ask that they would send some help over the frontier, to which they accepted, little did they know that Talon was preparing an attack against the Droids and help the Mils in order to sow chaos across the house. All members of the Overwatch and the members of Talon fought in one massive battle where team Overwatch had to escort civilians out of the house while team Talon had to cause has much destruction as possible and assisting the Milbots. To their rescue, Glitch and company arrived to assist the Overwatch after they left the bunker for more civilians to help. The fight became completely in favor for the Overwatch when Ramattra and Null Sector joined with the Droids to repel the Milbot attacks. When Doomfist confronts him for helping Overwatch, Ramattra simply responds that he is doing what it's right and won't allow some arrogant machines enslave their own kin, even calling out Doomfist for helping them. Due to Null Sector and the Droids combined firepower, the Talon troops and Mils had to retreat, promising to return for payback. The Droids and Team Overwatch celebrated this victory, while Null Sector troops retreated back to their HQ, before leaving, Zenyatta thanked from the bottom of his core to Ramattra for doing a great deed today. Ramattra didn't say nothing, but his brother surely felt that he was also happy to fight alongside his brother and help the house.
    • Another equally pissed off faction of robots that hated the Mils just as much as Null Sector did are the Machine Collective, now, they are divided due to how should they treat humans after they made a deal with Neo to not hurt humanity and release their humans from the Matrix if he defeated Smith. But all of them collectively agree that the Mils must be stopped, this is in parts because of their uppbringing as many of them still remember the Million Machine March, of how humans would kill them indescriminately and force them to form 01, the nation of the Machines. Both subfactions of the Collective had to join force when the Mils knocked down on 01 and started to rip off the metal of their city and crush any smaller robot. Sentinels and warriors were deployed to fight against the invaders, who brought their elite soldiers in an attempt to take over 01. In the end, only a small part of the city was taken over by the Mils, who had established a camp in there. The Machines that were allied with Neo told him of the Mils coming to their city and to make sure their peace treaty was still up, took care of the Mil camp by shutting them off and allowed the Machines to take back the lost part of the city.
    • Vexus, one of the robots that still haven't suffered under the Mil cruelty, was impressed of how they worked, of how they enslaved the Droids and their imperialistic ways, remembering her old days when she was ruling Cluster Prime. At first, she was hesitant to do it due to how aggresive the Mils were but she decided to join forces with Exavolt to take over Iron Star, as she believes that an alliance with the Mils will bring her more power so that she can go back and retake the planet. Exavolt for his part, is pleased to meet the former queen of Cluster Prime as he sees her as a very valuable asset in his conquest. Jenny, who was very angry to hear Vexus joined forces with the Mils, didn't doubt on helping the Droids to fight against Vexus and her soldiers.
    • Optimus Prime and Megatron have been long time enemies since the first day of the Civil War that consumed Cybertron. He is struck with grief to see just how much chaos the Mils have caused in their never-ending quest to enslave those they deem inferior, just like how Megatron looks down upon the organics and believes that it's their right to opress anyone they consider lesser. In what felt like a never-ending war with countless losses in both sides of the factions, the Droids Rellion and the Autobots did one hell of a fine job as they succesfully managed to destroy the main Mil factory and base, sending them right back at Iron Star's inhospitable zones. Optimus then warns the Mils that should they ever come back to the house and/or Cyberton, he will be waiting for them. Megatron is considering to terminate his alliance with the Mils after this loss, but seeing them as usable fodder for his plans, he still sees a massive utility on Exavolt and Corrosive thanks to their might and bright. Exavolt, furious of this crushing loss, swears that one day, he will personally crush Glitch's CPU and forcing him to watch it, he still has his newly made space ship with the stolen Death Star weaponry so there are going to be very dire future for the Droid Rebellion.
    • It has been a wonder amongst the Droids' allies if a Mil can become good, mainly due to the existence of Agent Goff. While they explained that Goff is actually a Droid who uses a Mil Grunt's body to spy on them, some of them decided to kidnap several Mil Grunts and attempted to show them how wrong they were in trying to take over Iron Star. Many resisted, but a very few started to doubt their faction's acts. While none of them still haven't renounced their faction's fascist ways, they are beginning to doubt, which for everyone, is a win in their books.
  • All this new ores and resources has given Exavolt many new inventions to make this war even more brutal. He has augmented Corrosive to honor his name and has installed a comically large sprayer that sprays an acid so potent that melts down anything that it touches, has developed new Mil units and even has created a whole fleet and a flag spaceship to act as the new HQ of the Mils. Meanwhile, the Droids have established a town in the house of Machinery and Technology to bring any survivors of the war a new place to live after the war has ended, promising to supply for everyone that decides to live in their town. They have also been working on new Droid units and weapons to keep up with the Mil arms race.
  • A new war rages in the Pantheons, one that should have ended but continues by the will of it. The Mils haven't just put their focus on just Iron Star, but Cybertron and many other machines that have nothing to do with this hellish war. Having recovered from the absolute loss against Optimus and the Autobots, Corrosive and Exavolt have resumed their conquest of new worlds and the Mils grow stronger every minute as their allies are still supporting them. The Droids, despite being stronger than ever thanks to their new allies and resources, their moral have declined quite much due to this seemingly never-ending war, especially Glitch who only sighs to himself that his mission hasn't ended, but is sure to put an end to the tyranny of the Mils, once and for all.

Okay and maybe I've finally found a trope that fits both Piper and Quincy:

Piper Faraday and Quincy Leeway, Pirate Deities of Turn-Based Strategy Games

Piper Faraday and Quincy Leeway are the protagonists of their respective games Heist 1 and Heist 2. Piper is a smuggler captain that got into several trouble after she and her crew got into a fight with Scrappers, and after dealing with their leader, the government, the Royalists try to enforce their already opressive order. After having enough and killing their queen, they accidentally release a electronic Hive Mind and they also deal with it. Quincy on the other side, is the son of a legendary monster hunter, nicknamed the Krakenbane, and trying to live up to his mother's legend, he gets into trouble with the local oppressive government, help the locals defend themselves from an evil cult of robots who worship bones and save their world from the revival of the same beast Quincy's mom killed before, having resurrected by an evil race of radioactive robots.
I say they fit the trope because both of their games are played in turns and are made to be careful thought out what will your next move be, where we the player move around our crewmates to either attack enemies, use a consumable or take the loot that appears in the games, taking turns between allies and enemies, and doing varying goals in each level. Quincy in Heist 2 takes this to the next level by adding more weapons, an interchangeable Job System bewteen crewmates and new goals. Strategy is a key aspect in their games, as the layout, the variety of enemies that appear and environment aspects are a core element of the game, carefully planning out what will your next move be.
They also appear together in Heist 2.

@ Vengeful: Moccamori sought to gather magic throughout the continents for two big reasons. One: to both amass enough power to take on the Pope in revenge for instigating the Witch Hunt on deities that killed her human parents and two: resurrect her divine ancestor, Agamo, and usher in his world that would bring eternal life for everyone and eradicating greed, pain, and loss. In the beginning of her game, she loses all the magic gifted to her by Agamo as well as the accumulated magic she stole from neighboring deities. This forced her to start from scratch though it would ultimately be for the better as the journey would change her from the better

The Empress is the ruthless boss of the Nyakuza and the feared ruler of the Nyakuza Metro underworld. Dutch van der Linde is the leader of a gang of outlaws named after him. Among its members were John Marston and Arthur Morgan who he took in as kids and raised to be loyal members of his crew. The narrative leaves it up in the air if his reasons for taking them were that altruisitic.

@RJ — [tdown] on both. I'm starting to feel as if SCP is another franchise that keeps getting suggestions and representation solely because it's an easy and popular work to latch on to + just going through the examples for Flat-Earth Atheist make me feel as if there are far more interesting choices to look out for than just yet another SCP example. While Cops Need the Vigilante has fewer examples, I'm still on the fence that another example could be found.


[up][up] Juli and Juni used to have Dual Boss until Hamana deleted them to make way for Ornstein and Smough. And in all honesty, Ornstein and Smough don't just feel like better examples IMO, but I'm really not too convinced about seeing Juni and Juli, especially as Street Fighter is also starting to feel a tad bit too overrepresented in the Pantheon.

@Snafu + Crimson: Actually, Juni and Juli used to have Mini-Boss. Nights was the person who deleted them after I gave approval to do so, and Hamana has a replacement idea for their trope, though I'm not sure what it is. I wouldn't mind seeing them return, but I'd like to focus on the older profiles getting reworked now, since there's quite a few profiles who need it and I'm also concerned that Street Fighter is starting to get overrepresented.


@RJ: Same case as the above. I don't necessarily mind new SCP ideas, but since we have quite a few older profiles in need of updating and people aren't liking it's overrepresentation, I think the focus for now should be reworking old profiles and see what we want to stick around before suggesting new ones. I feel that with too many reps we'll go down the road of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure where there are so many shilled-in side characters that we essentially soft-ban more characters from that series from entering because people are tired of it over-represented.
[down] That "another troper" was me, as I said earlier. I still do think their relevancy past SFII and overall characterization and reputation within the fanbase makes them not ideal for representation, especially considering their two tropes didn't really fit them well to begin with, though as I said I won't necessarily mind them returning if they can get a new trope and Snafu really wants then to be back, though I'd still prefer focusing on reworking the current profiles.

@Juli and Juni. The profile in question had Dual Boss AND Mini-Boss. I simply requested if I took Dual Boss for the Ornstein and Smough rework. Then after a few months, Nights deleted it. I don't remember which troper said it but another troper mentioned that it was fine for the duo to be deleted because their relevancy post SFII diminished and thus, had little in the way for characterization. I did plan on replacing them for the Chosen but I have not made the proposal. I plan on making their proposal after the ADVENT + INGSOC/Big Brother rework

@Bale: There can be something regarding Chameleos, which is several times larger than a regular chameleon in addition to having poison-related abilities.


I've been noticing that the forum has been having these conversations about over-representation from franchises that are prone to having a lot of characters (whether it's something like Pokemon or SCP) a lot to the point that I feel like this problem is not actually being solved and keeps happening because, more often than not, Clovis has another idea from these prominent franchises. It's honestly getting tiring at this point and makes it seem like the problem keeps being perpetrated regardless of the efforts to curb that problem.
Rough draft for dancing space journalist. Looking for interactions for her.

Ulala, Goddess of Having Backup Dancers

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/ulalakfnf.png
  • Lesser Goddess
  • Symbol: The Space Channel 5 logo
  • Theme Music: Different versions of Mexican Flyer
  • Alignment: Neutral Good
  • Portfolio: Action Girl, Going for the Big Scoop, Dancing Is Serious Business, Musical Assassin, Ms. Fanservice
  • Domains: Space, Music, Reports
  • Heralds: Fuse
  • Allies: Sonic the Hedgehog, Amigo, Elite Beat Agents, Frank West, Reiji Arisu & Xiaomu
  • Enemies: Diana Christensen, Saya (Namco x Capcom)
  • Ulala is a reporter for Space Channel 5, having been inspired to take up the job after being saved by a reporter from that station following a spaceship accident that left her as the sole survivor of such. Her determination in covering important stories and confidence in the face of danger has led to her uncovering plenty of space conspiracies throughout her career. The Morolian invasion and the brainwashing related to it was carried out by the Chief Blank, the CEO of Space Channel 5 and Ulala would later take on Purge, leader of the Rhythm Rogues who wanted to hypnotize the entire galaxy into dancing with him. No matter what’s being thrown her way, Ulala has been able to bring out the dance moves to save civilians under the control of her foes and investigative skills to thwart these devious plots to become Space Channel 5’s star reporter.
  • What was originally another day at Space Channel 5 in finding a strong news story to tell ended up bringing Ulala to a planet that she hadn’t discovered before. Said planet ended up being where a distress signal was coming from as it was under attack by some aliens that were threatening to drain it of all of its dance energy. It didn’t take long for Ulala to step in and bring her moves to defeat that threat and get that story set in stone. Given how she had never been to that planet before, Ulala was given a tour of it once the dust had settled and after being told that the planet was part of a Pantheon project that was being carried out by several prominent figures, Ulala was given an opportunity to have her line of work be a part of it. She was more than willing to accept that offer as not only did the Pantheon offer plenty of stories for Space Channel 5 to cover, but she had been used to dealing with dangerous adversaries while covering the news and there were plenty more enemies out there that Ulala knew had to be stopped.
  • In her spare time outside of journalism and news, Ulala has been a regular participant for some of Sonic’s racing contests with his friends and other Sega characters. Besides getting along with the Blue Blur, she has also found a similarly musically-inclined friend in Amigo, a monkey whose tastes in music leans more to the exotic end (though with some mainstream variety) compared to Ulala’s more pop-based inclinations. That hasn’t stopped them from getting along and Ulala taking part in some of Amigo’s dance sessions during some songs. Given how much dance played an important role in powering things in Ulala’s world and how objects such as buildings come to life whenever Amigo gets his groove on, she has been sometimes wondering to herself just how much dance energy Amigo has, but it’s not something she’s too worried about.
  • On the topic of dancing being a powerful tool to solve problems, the Elite Beat Agents ended up being of interest to Ulala for plenty of reasons. They were able to strike up a friendly rapport with each other and found some of the problems they dealt with to be striking in a number of ways. The EBA found it disingenuous that someone like Purge would try to use dance and make others uncontrollably groovy to accomplish a dastardly goal while Ulala pondered to herself if there really was something going on in the EBA’s world that required enough musical willpower to get through multiple problems. She would learn that the EBA were acquainted with others that had a similar function as them and both parties are willing to work together, whether it’s just Ulala and the EBA as a team or with the EBA’s other contacts, and dance their way to solve a problem that others are facing.

okay listen. while I think personally the problem is that a lot of the SCP articles are heavily leaning towards to earlier ones and not particularly new one, I don't want us to endlessly argue and point fingers about what deserves to ascend and what not. so, how about we SOLVE this issue?

right, so here's the deal. we look into the pantheon page for SCP. we find the profiles that are particulary poor. we get those on a list, and then t-up them for deletion. as for reworks, i'll leave those up to RJ as he's been the main creator of those articles

[up][up] I mean, we can definitely scour the current profiles to see which of them are poorer than the rest, but people here are becoming more critical of just deleting a profile and replacing it with nothing. I feel a more sustainable solution would be to make a list of "here are the profiles we want for sure to stay for reworks or just generally being good" and "here's profiles that we're fine with letting go if there's another option, though we're fine with them getting reworked". That way we can more cohesively define who 'deserves' to stay and see who isn't meeting standards without rushing people to delete or rework profiles immediately.

[up] SCP ideas already approved should be fine to continue working on. We're concerned with new ideas popping up and who is already in. If they're not approved, then I'd suggest holding your jets for now until we fully decide on what to do.

@r-lock - Yeah, it feels like a cycle at this point: someone suggests a character from a heavily represented franchise for a trope, someone gives a thumbs down because of how represented that franchise is, discussion about how heavily represented that franchise is follows, and then it repeats after a while. I have an idea for how this could be addressed (essentially a new Hype Prevention Sandbox but prevents franchises with too many reps), but that is admittedly an extreme approach. Not to mention it would force a firm decision on exactly how many reps a franchise is allowed, which is a big can of worms in itself.

Personally, I don't care how overly represented a franchise could be so long that a given character defines their trope enough. Like, it's widely agreed that Pokémon is crowded in the Pantheon, but I'm content with the likes of Alakazam and Applin unless alternative candidates for their respective tropes are suggested and said candidates define those tropes better than those aforementioned Pokemon (tho I think the Pokemon define those tropes the most). And this is coming from someone who wants to see representation from more obscure media, and does not care for heavily represented material like Five Nights at Freddy's or SCP Foundation.

With all that said, I'm gonna give SAPPHIRE a [tdown] because I do agree with Crimson that there could be better examples for Flat-Earth Atheist. But I'm inclined to give SCP-4498/The Spectre a [tup] because it really seems to define Cops Need the Vigilante a great deal (literally manifesting itself in situations where law enforcement could use help against a given crime). The only other character I can see who stands out for the trope is Batman, but he's of course already in the Pantheon under a more defining trope.

Anywho, for Ulala, Jade (Beyond Good and Evil) is a freelance photojournalist who is also committed to helping/saving people, particularly from the DomZ (who do more than just drain dance energy from people). Though Jade operates almost exclusively on her home planet of Hillys, not getting to venture out into space until pretty much the end of her adventure (and even then, she only travels to Hillys' moon). Also, if it's noteworthy enough, Ulala is also listed in Jade's profile as one of her Followers.

[down] Ooh, now that is a much better approach for my idea. I can get behind that ^^

[up] A Hype Prevention-esque Sandbox for highly represented franchises doesn't sound like a bad idea, though I think "absolutely no reps ever anymore" sounds too extreme for most of the franchises here. If we were to do this, I think it would work best with a case-by-case system with different actions for different franchises (e.g Pokémon is limited to legendaries and major human characters unless a regular Pokemon/human character represents a trope very well and/or has no real competition for the chosen trope).
