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    • If you feel the need to remove a character for some reason (poor quality, outdated titles, etcetera) and replace him/her with another or outright rework, please see what the other tropers think about this in the discussion thread before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

  • The stand of the 300 Spartans in the Battle Of Thermopylae is a legendary Last Stand against the Persian Empire, and makes up one of many conflicts between Persia and the Ancient Greek city states. The tale of 300 is an over the top take with an implicit case of Unreliable Narrator, a Battle Epic and one that would need an equally over the top villain. That villain is the Persian emperor Xerxes the First, venerated as a sort of God-King and possesses a grandiose presence despite being rather quiet compared to the Spartans. He was once a Long-Haired Pretty Boy before a godly transformation turned him into a mountain of a man, a sincere creature, stripped of all deceit, doubt, fear, and pity. He sought to conquer the Greeks, starting with the oh so stubborn Spartans. Ultimately he was victorious in the Battle of Thermopylae, but not with a serious reality check due to Leonidas wounding his cheek with a cut by the spear. And those who know his history know he would fail to bring Ancient Greece to heel
    • The real Xerxes was no God-King, and in fact would consider the idea blasphemous as he was Zoroastrian. Though 300 portrayed the Persian forces as full of Faceless Goons and a number of monsters, they were actually rather progressive and cultured than the Greeks. "King of Kings" was merely mistaken for meaning God-King by many Greeks, and though certainly ruthless in his ways it is more in the typical game of thrones than anything extraordinary by the era's standards. He was dedicated to large-scale construction projects. Xerxes I would be assassinated fifteen years after Leonidas' last stand by his vizier/bodyguard, and was succeeded by his son Artaxerxes the First. There would be on and off conflict between Greece and Persia for over a century after his death.
  • With the reality of his mortality exposed, Xerxes felt there was a degree of Irony when he heard that Leonidas was being called a god. Well irony, but one could also call it hypocrisy, at least for someone like him who was unaware of what the context of a god means in the Trope Pantheon. Discovering the Trope Pantheon had him frustrated that someone else was being called a God-Emperor, and it's not like he could really fight Sigmar over it. After seeing that "god" was more than often a title for ideas, or "tropes" as people were calling them, Xerxes decided to petition for Dominance Through Furniture. And he demonstrated how fitting this was by going off his throne and using the slaves and soldiers following him act as the staircase letting him get on the ground. It is as much a demonstration of the power and subjugation he possesses as it is how he sees himself above mankind. He intends to re-affirm the illusion of self-divinity and if it means being a member of the Trope Pantheon, that will work for him.
  • The God-King intends to make Leonidas and the Spartans pay for their defiance of him, and for how well they thought back despite ultimately losing the battle. Perhaps not by making him bow, but by making him watch as he forces his grandchildren and other relatives kneel before him. Kassandra and Alexios told him to Bring It. To his horror, Xerxes would learn a Greek would eventually succeed at conquering the Persian Empire; Alexander the Great. He was a little amused by Alexander's appreciation of Persian culture, and found some comfort in that his death led to a Succession Crisis that fragmented his empire. However this is cold comfort as far as he's concerned. Xerxes has grown rather bitter towards the New Alliance of Free Stars and the Interstellar Advisory Board as many of the ideals they promote, and the way they are organized reminds him of some sort of ideal version of the Greek city states uniting against Persia. Given they are interstellar groups and he only got the concept of space as understood by modern man after some time in the pantheon, he can't really do anything but be frustrated by them.
  • Though he is quite happy with the trope of Dominance Through Furniture, he believes Ancient Persia would've fit more. Historically, he is the grandson of Cyrus the Great, founder of the The Achaemenid Empire. Persia would have many rivals in its history; far from his time, it would serve as a great rival power to the Roman Empire, With the many Roman emperors present, he considers their empire to be an impressive and Worthy Opponent, albeit long after his time. Seeing as how both his main enemy Leonidas, and the last king of the Achaemenid Empire, Darius the Third, have been recorded in the Throne of Heroes, he is hoping to be so as well one day. Seeing as how his empire ruled the Egyptians, one would think he would be opposed by Ramses. While that is true to some level, he and Ramses actually have somewhat of a liking to him. Xerxes sees within Ramses someone like himself, needing to prove themselves as not the weak length, and a mighty conqueror.
  • His ambitions are nothing short of ruthless, and to his enemies he comes off as civil despite clear malicious intent. He is willing to kill his own men for victory, and executes his generals for failing him. However to those that submit and accept his reign, he can be quite welcoming. For example, offering the disfigured Ephialtes a place and pleasures of the flesh should be turn against the Spartans and aid him. He has a diverse harem, though with a degree of "freakiness". Though their primary ties are to fascism, Xerxes has offered the Libertines an asylum to indulge in their wildest desires if they are supportive of him. Not one to dismiss The Grotesque, he has been snubbed by of all people Sigvald. Xerxes himself is quite handsome with a physique worthy of Greek masculinity, but his forces like Ephors and Ephialtes as a parade of grotesque, villainous monsters. The ever-vain Sigvald shows disdain to him for that, even if his own tastes prove quite pervert.
  • It is believed he is counting on the Nazis eventually tiring of a group they would consider degenerate, and hopes to add them into his fold. He seems to see the Nazis as rivals, pointing out their ambitions for Europe conflict with his own expansionist empire, though ones he has minimal respect for due to their failures in WWII and unwillingness to utilize Equal-Opportunity Evil like he has. Xerxes has dealt with racism from Calvin Candie, who is flippant on how a dark-skinned man is this mighty conqueror and subjugator, and how it goes against his white supremacist beliefs. However Xerxes finds these prejudices more annoying than anything, and is more focused on competing with them regarding conquest. One of Xerxes' biggest rivals is Emperor Ganishka, a ruthless conqueror with ambitious of being a king of kings in his own right and would make war on the Godhand to do so. He has his own interesting menangerie of strange and monstrous creatures, though on a more overt level. Similar ambitious and megalomaniacal, Xerxes accepts his challenge.
  • He is not the worst person to be ruled over, all things considering. Considering how horrible some deities in the Hall of Tyrannical Figures are, he seems almost pleasant, and if we're talking about the historical Xerxes and Persian Empire then the Persians are in some ways better than the Ancient Greeks. However he is the Xerxes as seen from the city-states he's invading; his subjugation of the Greeks, and use of slavery (particularly to those that resist and defy) has only awarded his enemies from those who extoll the virtues of democracy. Though not under the more obviously racist bent of Candieland, his use of slavery will give him nothing but a speedy demonstration he's no god from Django. He is nowhere near as prejudiced as a Nazi, but he's seen as barely less of a warmongerer by Captain America. Another historical figure who's declared him as his enemy is Boudica, who for very personal reasons took the plan on the fate of the women Greeks if they resisted with a lot of anger. He may not be Roman, but he is just the same kind of conquering tyrant as far as she's concerned. That being said his top general is a woman and he is accepting of Greeks who defect to him, so whatever misogyny Xerxes may have doesn't undermine his recognition of Boudica as a threat.
  • As mentioned, his claims of being a God-King are in contrast to the state religion of Zoroastrianism the actual Persian Empire has. The real Xerxes would probably be escatic at the fact he has a chance to personally witness Ahura Mazda, however the one in 300 proves somewhat dismissive, and mum on the subject. The God of Good is not happy with his god complex and violent actions, though not much more than one would typically be upset by a despot. Some of what he has chosen to research revealed to him The Dahaka, a haunting monster that pursues those who transgress time's rules, something both daunting but also intriguing. And he has also discovered the Prince of Persia. Not something he intends to get on the bad side, and a man from another time of Persian history, but someone to keep track of.
  • The God of Evil Angra Mainyu sees potential in him as a pawn, similar to Zahhak, though it's safe to say he would have to sweet talk and decieve his true nature as Xexes wouldn't knowingly work with something so blatantly evil. Darkseid has mused that to be a waste of talent. Though his ambitions go beyond Xerxes' imagination, he believes the Persian emperor would be better suited under his influence due to their philosophies on power and despotism being closer. The Lord of Apokolips is a busy tyrant, mind you, so he hasn't pursued this interest all that much. These philosophies regarding power are something that Ramses and Xerxes enjoy debating with Ramses when they are having diplomatic missions and not sending their soliders against one another, noting the pharaoh's own gravitation to the god-tyrant.
  • Not the only one to express dominance by using someone as furniture. Beerus was a figure of fear for young Vegeta as he turned the planetary conqueror into a footstall for denying him the comftiest pillow. As an actual god, if a slothful one, he finds the hubris of Xerxes as annoying, but he's otherwise ambivalent. Xerxes is wrapped up in a good good deal of homoreotic mannerisms, BDSM-esque wear, and getting all too close that sells the idea of being a Sissy Villain despite his macho traits. Whether he's actually attracted to guys isn't touched on, though with more accurate historical knowledge he likes to point out Leonidas' comment on Athens being "boy-lovers" is a fair bit of Hypocritical Humor from the Spartan. Some think Xerxes has a point, knowing the history of Anceint Sparta. His splenderous appearance of gold and other jewelry have some people think of Tamatoa, except not as obsessed with being SHINY! The so-called God-King appreciates the humor of the giant crustacean, and the aesthetic he rocks. They're both camp and over the top antagonists in their own way; Tamatoa is the Large Ham, and Xerxes the Cold Ham.
  • A ritual transformed him into what he is, but the exact specifics of which are unclear. It made him a fair bit taller and changed his skin color, implying some degree of supernatural attribute without confirming it outright. He stands a visual contrast to his newfound rival and explicitly supernatural conqueror Ganishka, who has a wild beard and a paunchy body while Xerxes is bald with a bodybuilder's physique. Again, they are more similar than anything, due to their arrogance. When Ganishka said that he will never bow to any god, Xerxes responded with "then let me be the first". There was deliberation on whether the trope also fit the House of Pride and Egotism, albeit because its a fitting place for someone like him. He has taken a liking to General Zod and his typical way of getting people to subjugate, feeling it fitting. The Kryptonian general appreciates that such an arrogant human conqueror shows him respect, though he's otherwise ambivalent.
  • He is interested in Ra's and Talia Al Ghul. While Ra's was born a lot closer to Batman's time than his own, despite his great age, Xerxes does find it interesting to learn of this immortal being who sustains himself with the Lazarus Pits, reminding him of his own personal transformation into an apparent god. His daughter Talia is someone he finds rather cunning, and is proud that they have the same ethnicity of being Persian. Some additional things to note; inn actual history "King of Kings" is more a case of The High King, something someone as powerful as the Persian Emperor was able to get away without looking ridiculous like it would on General Aladeen. It was originally from the Assyrians, Settra is in no way impressed Xerxes, and though his own arrogance dwarfs the Persian monarch many believe it as warranted pride. He would, however be more impressed by Xerxes' maternal grandfather. The Mongol conqueror Temujin had a similar title with the "Khan" part of Genghis Khan. He does consider him more of a rival, just not his greatest rival.
  • Apparently one of Kratos' minor regrets was missing the famous Last Stand of the 300 Spartans. Xerxes sees that as fortunate for himself. Though he's in a far different place mentally than when he was with his fellow Spartans, the King of Kings is intimidated by the power and reputation he possesses. Xerxes may call himself a god, but Kratos has a history of deicide and Xerxes refuses to antagonize him for no good reason. Another being that Xerxes fears is the Wolf, an incarnation of Death who goes after those who laugh in the face of death and do not value the life they have. The wound Leonidas inflicted has disillusioned Xerxes from the belief he is immortal...but that doesn't make him a coward. He trekked through the harsh Persian desert for days without food or water and underwent a ritualistic drowning to become a god, so as to instil the necessary awe in his subjects to make them willing to wage war against the Greeks, who managed to kill their previous king. He does not look highly on cowardly generals like Lord Djibril and Zapp Brannigan, who prefer to play Armchair Military and prove rather inept.

  • There's a stereotype that Cats Are Mean, and that dogs are good boys. Combine these stereotypes, and you get a trope known as Heroic Canines, Villainous Felines. The film Cats & Dogs plays that full hilt with its protagonist Lou and antagonist Mr Tinkles (Marlon is his first name btw). Many of the world's dogs are actually members of an international secret organization (D.O.G) dedicated to protecting their humans from the evil cats. When one of their agents, Buddy, ended up cat-napped they ended up having a young civilian beagle called Lou to becoming the Brodys' pet...not their first choice, but there was a slip up. Charles Brody was trying to make a cure for dog allergies, which isn't something the evil cats wanted. Mr Tinkles, however, saw an opportunity to make humanity allergic to dogs instead. Lou would have to prove himself to protect his new family, especially his owner Scotty, and he would find his owner and their family held hostage. Ultimately he and the rest of D.O.G were able to thwart Mr. Tinkles. For the time he would settle to being a normal canine, but would return to being a secret agent as a full-grown beagle. In the sequel he's become head of D.O.G HQ, with the team having to work with a heroic cat secret agency in order to stop the nefarious Kitty Galore. Mr Tinkles, now in jail, would be consulted for advice, knowing how evil cats think.
  • Applies to both
    • There are many cases of a heroic dog and a villainous cat in conflict, but few if any are as blatant as Cats & Dogs. The initial premise is rather black and white about it, with lore that the cats oppressed mankind in Ancient Egypt and the dogs seek to protect humans. The sequel would reveal it wasn't as simple as that, alluding also to the existence of evil dogs, though the antagonist of the sequel was still a cat. Cat lovers weren't all that enthused with the original, but Mr Tinkles and his cats were still seen as fun villains. D.O.G had reported the existence of the Trope Pantheon, but more importantly for them after he broke out of prison some absconded with Mr Tinkles. The culprit was Katz, who appreciated another nefarious cat like himself, Lou approached the pantheon and tried to argue against this, only for the Court of the Gods to not really mind all that much since they fit a certain archetype like a glove. Besides, it's not like being evil is considered a crime by their standards.
    • Their temples are situated in the Hall of Mammals as a sort of balance to their trope being about dogs and cats. They're somewhat of a Foil to Penry and Spot, or Felicia and Jon, as that seens canines and felines getting along. Lou and Mr Tinkles sharing a trope has instead intensified their emnity, and provoking them into be into being more rivals. Both have been trying to expand their influence to the Hall of Canines and Felines, something that Lou has been a lot more successful. Turns out on average most cats aren't mean, or at least not that mean. Maybe if Mr Tinkles wasn't a jerk to any species he'd have more support than Katz. Lou has some strong good dogs on his side like Krypto, compounding his nemesis' frustration at his new pantheonic status. Naturally, if Mr Tinkles is allied with Katz, Lou is going to be so with Courage. Krypto representing the Heroic Dog trope probably makes him the most powerful ally on Lou's side.
    • The feline-like Chaos mused that if Katz didn't think about it first, he would've ascended both of them. Mr Tinkles took that as him being the kind of cat villain Yearning for a Nemesis, and boasted that now he has an all-powerful ally. The God of Chaos chuckled and when Mr Tinkles implied he could boss him around, Chaos teleported him away to Miyuki. She loves cats, and much like Sophie did made him wear cute and frilly outfits. Lou was confused, only for Chaos to say that he hates mundanity and he found their rivalry rather amusing. So he can expect as much help as Mr Tinkles would, which is "entirely when I feel like it, and to be frank there are other guys I'd rather play with". After this conversation Miyuki met Lou, having caught on to how they're both intelligent thanks to Eliza Thornberry acting as a translator. As adorable as Mr Tinkles was his world domination schemes and raw antagonism towards dogs is something not even an unrepentant cat person could abide by. D.O.G think that her reaching out to Lou is a real win for their cause and might even help them work better with heroic cats.
    • It is worth noting that in spite of the Black-and-White Morality of the first film and the poor impression Lou had with cats, he doesn't have any Fantastic Racism to the Hall of Felines. At least, not any more. Mr Tinkles still makes it a point to hate any dog in the pantheon, even the evil-aligned ones, but that's more his issue. With their conflict embodying Animal Jingoism Zangoose and Seviper have some interest in them, though mostly because beef recognizes beef. Interestingly despite being a cat Mr Tinkles is willing to employ spies from the Hall of Rabbits and Rodents, though he has so far failed to do so. He attempted to reach out to Professor Ratigan, but he considers Mr Tinkles a rival in the field of criminality. Lou has had more success in getting on the good side of his fellow canines, and he has managed to be on relatively decent terms with Bastet of all people. Well, more so she politely explained what D.O.G told them about cats in Egyptain history is B.S propaganda, pointing out how cats were sacred enough that one of their national enemies used them in an early form of psychological warfare.
    • As the head of D.O.G Lou has been reaching out to the House of Spies, Secrets and Stealth, under a shared interest of protecting the world from secret threats. The human agencies, spies and the like would've probably laughed off the idea of aligning with D.O.G were it not for the fact that the Trope Pantheon has inevitably made them more accepting of these concepts. Mr Tinkles' consernation at his enemy's greater influence was confounded by him aligning himself with even human secret agencies. Deep down he knows he is venting frustration over humans being the real dominant species. He likes what the pig Napoleon accomplished, however Napoleon regards Mr Tinkles as some ineffective interloper who would threaten his power base. To Lou, Napoleon is seen only in an adversarial light since even if the farmer he overthrew was a cruel taskmasker, the swine became a tyrant no better, if not worse.
    • Though they remain arch-enemies, the two begrudgingly admit there are deities out there they will at least consider teaming up against. And not just the Grand United Alliance of Destruction, as that goes without saying. Mr Tinkles initially liked the cut of Cruella De Vil's jib regarding her plan for dalmatations, only to re-evaluate his priorities and realize she considers any animal whose fur would be fashionable, cats included. Neither are fond of general animal cruelty, such as Hunter J and Rusty. Lou pointed out to Mr Tinkles his opposition is more a case of Pragmatic Villainy and if they excluded cats he wouldn't care, which he freely admitted. He tried to shoot back by saying he would refuse to accept the Hellhounds in any way, however Lou counterracted by calling this a Lame Comeback. That said, the Hellhounds are still enemies to both, though for Lou the reasons are more heroic than the venal contempt for canines his Arch-Enemy has.
  • Applies to Lou
    • Lou was thrown unexpectedly into the war of dogs and cats, only getting the position due to a slip up behind the scenes. Lou is known as a level-headed, kind-hearted and determined beagle deeply protective of his owners. When forced to choose between preserving dogkind (as his superiors command him to) or saving the lives of his human family, he chooses the latter. Brian liked watching Cats & Dogs, though Quagmire thinks "oh course you would, it's total pro-dog propaganda!" Lou is kind of annoyed by Brian; both come from a farm but Brian is a lot more sarcastic and acts rather pretentious and scummy. The beagle has ended up becoming friendly with Spider-Man, as Peter Parker is a hero with the eternal struggle of dealing with responsibility vs a personal life. Also, it's nice to hear a familiar voice. Above everything, he's a good pet, having saved his owner and his family. He's friends with the tuatara Leo seeing as how supportive he is to the kids he was a pet to.
    • D.O.G is an organization of dog secret agents who's primary concerns are the protection of humanity and dogs, primarily from cat-based threats. That's not what they only deal with, but it takes priority. The Hall of Felines wishes that M.E.O.W somehow sneaks into the pantheon, however Lou has made it clear he doesn't intend to give them unfair scrutiny. In fact, a new mission statement is to further positive relationships with other secret agencies and spies. Asides from human ones as already mentioned, various animal groups have become allies with D.O.G. An agreement was made with G-Force that D.O.G and M.E.O.W would prevent cats and dogs from causing problem in the Hall of Rabbits and Rodents. Lou has made it clear to the other agents that Animal Jingoism will not be permitted with other agents, citing O.W.C.A's track record and the work of Perry the Platypus as why they need to rise above speciesm if they're going to be competent.
    • While cat lovers might complain somewhat over the film, dog lovers don't have any problem beyond possibly seeing the movie as cliche and cheesy. The Nostalgia Critic made a Running Gag in his review over how wooden Scottie Brody's acting was, and the fact he liked Mr Tinkles more, but hey he's a Caustic Critic and he just though the film was OK. In a more in-universe sense, Lou's been applauded for stopping the plan to make people allergic to dogs. Philip J Fry thinks he's a really good boy, and can only imagine how well Seymour would've gotten along with him. Nibbler has dealt with a scheme by cats to steal the Earth's rotation, which he worked alongside Amy as her allergy made her the only one of the crew immune to their Cuteness Proximity. Lou initially confronted Sushi Cat over stealing sushi only to realize he was simply a playful kitty with a big appetite. He noted Sushi Cat dealt with antagonistic dog who stole his plush (who he considers his wife), as an interesting flip of his own dynamic with Mr Tinkles.
    • He is relatively popular with the Hall of Canines, being celebrated for saving doggy-kind from what was essentially an act of biological warfare. He's not going to be too pushy in trying to recruit some of the dogs there for D.O.G, however he does want to see more recruits. While secret agents aren't their thing, Lou has a number of dogs aligned to his interests, some of which, like Courage, he considers good friends. Lou values the loyalty of dogs like Hachiko, the determination of dogs like Iggy, the compassion of dogs like Odie and the courage of, well, Courage. Because he is a dog, there is a language barrier when it comes to interacting with human agencies, though he intends to get around that. He has been opening up a conversation with Eliza Thornberry, admiring her protectiveness towards animals of any kind and has stated he believes she could do wonders as a friend of all positive animal secret agencies. Of course, it's up to her to decide if she wants to sign up.
    • Asides from the operations against Mr Tinkles' assets, he has some other bad cats to tangle with. That being said he won't tolerate unncessary cruelty to cats as he's overall good-natured; Nana may be good at dealing with bad kitties, but at times she can exaggerate that badness. Case in point, her abuse of Alex the Lion was Disproportionate Retribution at best. Basically if a cat is evil, there is a non-zero chance that D.O.G is on the case...but again, don't think they will allow evil dogs off the leash. Of note is the queenpin known as the Empress and the psychotic Scourge. One adversary, to Lou's surprise, reached out; Claudandus. Though partial to Mr Tinkles, he has expressed a dissapointment in his faith in humans, due to Animal Testing. Lou retorted that while there are bad humans like the ones who experimented on him, and he's sorry he went through that, he's meant plenty of humans who would abhor what happened to him.
    • A Serial Killer, sociopath and murderous monster like Katz naturally makes for one of D.O.G's greatest villains, but he is hardly the only one. While Jojo villains have a practically memetic habit of harming dogs, Dio outright holds contempt for dogs due to perceiving them as kneeling, servile creatures. This is hardly the only bad thing about them, and honestly it's easier to point out good traits, but it has made him a notorious figure to D.O.G. Lou has mused that for all their differences, dogs and cats are pretty equal regarding cuteness, and with the experience of his job he can see through Beep the Meep and the Incubators' strategy. None of these aliens regard D.O.G or Lou specifically as a threat, but he wouldn't be a hero if he let that stop him now would he?
  • Applies to Mr Tinkles
    • Mr Tinkles is a cat tired of the yoke of being under an owner, dreaming of cats being in charge of humans. But before he tries to take over the world, he wants to ruin humanity's relationship with dogs. Oh sure, they get in the way of his plans, but he also just hates them. Usually he feels he's Surrounded by Idiots and makes a bombastic, amusing antagonist. While he's been laughed at for his name, he's quick to point out that he didn't choose that name; he would prefer it if Katz refers to him as Marlon. One of his first course of actions in the Trope Pantheon was to find a way of making the deities allergic to dogs, leading to him researching genetic engineering and diseases. Snatcher is interested in this because he wonders if this research could also be used to cure his intense cheese allergy, however he hasn't given Mr Tinkles a reason why. Interestingly he doesn't have problems working with mice so if Stuart Little was evil he would let him work with him. Interestingly enough while he's dealt with a cat mafia his best friend Snowbell is a cat of the same breed as Mr Tinkles. Stuart and Snowbell are quick to point out how cartoonishly evil he is, which he already knows.
    • A selfish, cruel, ruthless and pompous Persian cat, with no qualms against even killing humans to serve his purposes. Because he's a cat he requires his comatose owner Mr Mason as a still-living Weekend at Bernie's esque puppet to manipulate humans to do unknowingly do his bidding. In terms of temperament, ego, and even breed he is similar to Meowth of Team Rocket, though Meowth is the more sympathetic of the two. While their goals aren't aligned the way he and Katz may be, they've taken a liking to each other. Though they have different ambitions. Mr Tinkles wishes that Giovanni would entertain his idea of helping him capture canine Pokemon for Team Rocket, however he hasn't. Asides from doubting his competence, Giovanni has admins who use Houndoom, which wouldn't gel well with someone so anti-dog even if he himself is clearly a cat person.
    • Though Mr Tinkles will Enemy Mine with Lou and D.O.G in certain situations, they are very begrudging and something he doesn't want to bring attention to at all. It's not just they're arch-enemies; he takes pride in his reputation as a villain and working to stop other villains isn't a good look for him. For example, he will consider helping fight the entity known as Rick the Ice Cream Man as he's a psychopath who has a taste for cats in the literal sense. But he is also terrified of the being, which Lou doesn't blame him for. Mr Tinkles has some reservations working with a couple bad guys. Dio has proven abusive towards cats, but not to the same extent, and Mr Tinkles finds him untrustworthy...but he also recognizes that megalomania and dog hatred as good in his eyes.
    • He and Dave are friends, though they bicker quite a bit. They bicker because the octopus envies things seen as cuter than him, even if his loathing is towards penguins specifically. While Mr Tinkles acts out of humilation for how his owners treat him, like putting him in a bonnet and cute clothes, Dave is motivated by envy. Mr Tinkles likes his plan to mutate penguins as it has a similar effect to his plan of making people allergic to dogs. Even if they argue, they make a strong team up and have proven a greater thorn on the side of the heroic spy and secret intelligence agents than they would if they were apart. Despite his specific vendetta, the cat considers a monotreme and team of rodents to be the biggest problem for his operations. Agent P and G-Force are kind of perfect to deal with villains like the crazy old cat.
    • Very much a bad kitty, even if he may not be a Complete Monster like Katz. Of course, the silliness and cheesiness of the movie prevents that. Though he's an unapologetic scoundrel of a scratch cat, Meowth finds his plan of making everyone allergic to dogs too dastardly for his tastes. Plus it's not like he has an issue with canine Pokemon, or even mouse Pokemon beyond his eternal Worthy Opponent. Nana pushes Mr Tinkles around just as much, declaring him a particularly naughty kitty alongside Katz, Pete, the Empress, Claudandus and Scourge. Asides from Katz, Mr Tinkles finds he likes Claudandus the easiest to relate to his frustrations, and while he appreciates his help he does see his hatred as misplaced; they should remember humans are the real number one enemy. Scourge thinks this is a waste of time and Mr Tinkles should make way to someone with a bettle handle on the operations. To that, he just rolls his eyes at Scourge.
    • If it isn't clear, he doesn't care if he meets a member of the canine species with the blackest of hearts, like Dag; he hates them all the same. It's Fantastic Racism, though in the more over the top way compared to, say, the all too real and disturbing Emperor Belos. While he doesn't hate humans as much, he doesn't think highly of them being in charge, though if there's one human he seems to appreciate it's Hannibal Lecter. When he was in custody he gave the cannibal a Shout-Out with a similar mouth guard and position in jail. Hannibal couldn't really care about the references, mind you. "The Great Tinkles" lacks prejudice towards other species, though some of his minions thought he was anti-skunk after ranting about Pepe Le Pew. He yelled at them saying he's not annoyed at the skunk for being a skunk, but he keeps harassing a cat thinking she's a skunk.

  • The grand and glorious City with No Name was an uneventful, yet peaceful place. A very, VERY clean city where above all else, buying and valuing objects to ridiculous extremes was the norm. So naturally, when the Rabbids came around to pilfer everything in sight in order to build a massive junk pile to the moon, they were not happy. So, in order to stop the buck-toothed blitzkrieg, they assembled together a paramilitary composed of volunteer citizens known as the Verminators. Their efforts were mostly in vain however, thanks to the Rabbids nigh-invincibility and insanity. Only when they were able to corner the Rabbids on their junk mountain, and in desperation, blow the place sky high with time delay bombs. The Rabbids however, were no for wear, and had even managed to finally get in orbit of the moon. The humans thought they were safe too, at least until all the junk fell back down onto the city, leaving it in shambles.
  • Nearly 15 years had past since that fateful day had occured, and with all that time, only 15% of the junk had been cleaned out. While the place was nearly a ghost-town, there were still citizens there, all being Verminators. Lead by two Verminettes (the pink-suited Sandra, a scornful secretary, and the white-suited Nurse Betty, who's love had been stolen by the Rabbids numerous times), they were hellbent on finding some form of revenge against the Rabbids, and after someone had reported a Rabbid within the remains of the Junkyard, and using a sewage system to leave the area, they stormed right over there to follow it. What they certainly were not expecting at the end to find however, was a massive plane of existence home to various beings across the omniverse, whom referred to themselves as "Gods". The local "Court Of The Gods" didn't seem to mind their presence though, as they had tried ascending a representative for Eccentric Exterminators earlier. Unfortunately for him, his first assignment was against the Rabbids, and not even an associates degree from Vermtech could prepare him for what they had in store. He was happy about being their high priest though, and after settling in, the Verminators are more then ready to face their mortal enemy again, alongside new ones.
  • Speaking of which, they have a rather grand grudge against any sort of pest-like species that appears in groups, for obvious reasons. Matter of fact, they're specifically the ones called over to try and handle them, should things go awry. The Gremlins for instance, are a ransacking hoard of fun-seekers who get a kick out of destroying everything in their path. They're also not too fond of The Slime Family, especially because of the residue they can leave behind. While not too difficult on their own, they can often stack on each other and even merge together. Finally, they already got themselves on the shit-list of The Birds, a mass congregation of man-hating avians. Said hatred stems from man's abuse of nature, and given how consumerist Verminator society is, they've commonly popped their suits like balloons.
  • They once got a call claiming a strange rabbit was terrorizing the country-side, but were quite shocked to find what they thought was just an ordinary white rabbit. said sentiment was quickly thrown out the window when said rabbit, in reality the infamous Killer Rabbit of Caerbannog, started tearing into them like birthday presents. If that wasn't enough, gigantic brown rabbits known as the Lepus started hopping in, roaring out stock scay animal noises. it was a hard fought battle, but after a well placed detonation of the local gas station, they managed to incapacitate them. They later learned this legion of lapins was sent by General Woundwart, a horrid hare with the mind of a fiendish dictator. The attack was meant to scare out the locals and start moving his warren beneath the place to serve as a bigger base. Even then, he's still managed to find some amusement out of tormenting the Verminators with his violent troops.
    • It was on this battle they were made aware of the duo known as Wallace And Gromit. While the duo usually stick to invention, they once ran their own pest control business that specialized in taking care of rabbits that were disrupting their town's annual vegetable competition, though Wallace and Gromit's method of pest control was of the most humane kind, exclusively capturing the rabbits and keeping them safe and sound in their home. While Wallace does disagree quite a bit with their more violent methods, he doesn't consider them enemies, and does recognize what a menace the Rabbids are. Lately, he's been sending some more humane tools to the Verminators, citing how being more aggressive towards Woundwart's forces will make them try and return the favor. Gromit is keeping an eye on them just in case they try and trick Wallace into creating a more deadly device.
  • While they rarely meet the fellow, they hit it off very well with a fellow Eccentric Exterminator, The Pied Piper Of Hamlin. This is in large part to his unique ability of being able to entrance beasts with a simple toot of his flute, allowing the Verminators to do most of the dirty work for him. So far however, they've never met him while trying to deal with Rabbids. The Aerospace Sanitation Janitor has a large amount of respect for them too. Thanks to their Neat Freak habits, they rarely leave behind much of a mess, besides some small ash stains and tufts of fur. The Verminators even feel pity for the sheer amount of messes they have to clean up, and some even volunteer on some of their jobs to help alongside them.
    • On one of those jobs, they were made aware of Roombo when he accompanied alongside the Janitor for a particulary messy job. While they didn't really bat an eye at first, the Verminator's interest was raised when the Janitor accounted it's brutal and efficient methods when encountering intruders, such as being able to mince them like woodchippers, alongside expert hacking skills. After some convincing, the Verminators managed to get both the Rabbids and Roombo to encounter each-other within a sleek apartment complex. Sure, the Rabbids were no match for the killer cleaner physically, their cunning managed to ward Roombo off quite well, constantly making messes that distracted him from the chase. they even managed to make a somewhat convincing disguise, and managed to fool it into thinking that they actually owned the place, and the Verminators were just intruders trying to steal their pet rabbits. The verminators already booked it out of their, but because of this ordeal, Roombo has written them off as enemies.
  • X-COM is pretty impressed by their life-story, that despite being a bunch of average citizens managed to band together and stand their ground and win against a foreign threat. X-COM has them on speed-dial just in case the Rabbids try and launch a whole invasion, especially considering how some Rabbids have the capacity to use Tactics similar to theirs. Another self-proclaimed protector of humanity is John Nada. In life he was a rather paranoid man who's fears were further amplified by discovering society was controlled by a race of consumerist, parasitic aliens. John himself has a rather mixed opinion on the Verminators and their style of life. he doesn't think its a good idea to have their society be so dependent on materialistic values, but he does feel pretty bad for their situation, having their paranoia being pushed so out of control they have an unhealthy obsession with besting a bunch of rabbits.
  • Besides objects, Verminator societies value cleanliness above all else, even employing various Neat/Sani-bots to enforce this-AT ANY COST. So naturally, they weren't exactly happy to learn about Thrax, a deadly little virus with the personality of a pompous serial killer, racking up his kills like a game. The man himself isn't really fazed by them, at best he's annoyed by the constant hoards of cheap store bought sanitizers they send his way. Constantly slicing them apart like cheese is too repetitive, you know? Another horrifying discovery they made was when they were trying to ambush Rabbids in the sewer, instead meeting the eccentric Dung Defender. As his title implies, he has a complete combative and artistic mastery over anything fecal, and even considers his distinct scent "the proud odour of the just". The Verminators could frankly give less of a damn about his heroic nature, and have tried to forcibly clean him, to varying amounts of success.
  • The Skaven, despite not currently being in the pantheon as a whole, terrified the Verminators. They're an entire race of truely vile Rat Men who utilize plague spewing machinery, and conduct raids known as "Vermintide". Matter of fact, this is how Verminators were introduced to the few Skaven in the pantheon, Deathmaster Snikch and and his heralds, the ninja assassians known as Clan Eshin. The Verminators got their butts utterly whooped when they got caught up in one of those "Vermintides", but this did give the goal for head Verminators, Sandra and Betty, to try and prepare more for deadly pest species such as the Skaven. So far, they've called for the assistence of Ellen Ripley and Issac Clark, who've had plenty of experience exterminating the parasitic Xenomorph aliens and the zombie-like Necromorphs, respectively. While it is going to take quite a while, due to most Verminators being cowardly and bumbling, they do at least feel more confident learning about how to face bigger threats, like Thing impersonations and how to torch Tyranid Hormagaunts fleets into ash.
  • Besides pest species, there are certain individuals they chase after due to their troublemaking nature. Bugs Bunny was one of the first they tried to contain when they came across him in the forest. Naturally however, whatever power they had was nothing compared to the bunnies quick wit and cunning mind. While they're smart enough not to try that again, they did find a companion in Elmer Fudd, a hunter who has commonly tried and failed to terminate the ""Wascally Wabbit". His advice regarding how to deal with tricksters like him would help a lot when the Verminators met and allied themselves with the Imperial Watch. A group of guards who are very insistent about law and order on their watch, even if it requires spilling blood. Despite that, the Imperial Watch respects Verminator society's valuing order and cleanliness, even to the point of marking any and all Rabbids in the pantheon as "On Sight". You'll commonly see both Verminators and Imperial Guards alongside each other when chasing after disruptors of peace like The Goose, The Goat, And The Rock Of Ages.
  • While the Verminators are smart enough to not constantly face against threats far more powerful then them there are 3 gods they fear, considering they can't just simply avoid them. The first is Moguro Fukuzou, otherwise known as the Laughing Salesman. a strange being who targets urban areas and the greedy folk within, usually offering some object with a rule to it that will inevitably be broken, thus ruining the clients lives. Then there's Conal Cochran, the CEO of a novelty shop who's a sadistic individual, hiding deadly surprises within things like his masks, all in order to bring back the old days of All-Hallows Eve. He's well aware of their existences, quite pleased at the idea of terrifying a bunch of scaredy cat suckers like them. Finally, there's Fred C. Dobbs, who may be more normal compared to the former two, but who's greed and desperation makes him just as dangerous. he initially hired some Verminators to help inspect his latest hideout and see if they was any danger. Paranoia got the better of him though, and ever since, he's convinced himself that those Verminators stole.....SOMETHING from him, but he'll never tell just what it was. he's been planning some heist to steal some of their more exotic possessions, and is quite willing to kill anyone who discovers him.

A Brain Bug
  • Ranking: Lesser to Intermediate Gods. Behemecoatyl, the God Bug is a Greater Deity.
  • Symbol: The Arachnid Symbol designated by the Federation
  • Theme:
  • Alignment: Chaotic Neutral (Chaotic Evil to some)
  • Portfolio: A race of insectoid aliens that come in different sizes and forms with different forms, Big Creepy-Crawlies, Hive Mind, Hive Caste System, They aren't just mindless and savage creatures, but highly intelligent arthropods with a thinking Ruler Caste, Despite being called Arachnids, they have little to do with them in looks and behavior, Uses pheromones a lot, Are supposed to represent communism (somehow), Zerg Rush, They got Plasma Bugs that shoot down spaceships, The original book had them extremely advanced species with gizmos and technology, the film and many other media had them as crude and rudimentary aliens, Tanker Bugs shoot streams of highly corrosive acid, Alien Blood, Either they are the ones doing it or the ones being invaded, depending who you ask and which version, They have some weak points that are abusable, Brain Bugs fear death a lot and eat other enemy creatures brains to learn more of their strategies, They got several stronger versions of a basic unit, Still debated if they actually throwed a meteor to Buenos Aires or not.
  • Domains: Bugs, Aliens, Invasion, Fascism and Communism
  • Herald: The integrants of their species which includes:
  • Allies: Pretty much none. Though Bug sympathizers are their closest things to an ally.
  • Enemies: Tends to attack human populated areas so by default all humans, but they can also attack aliens if provoked.
  • Interested by: Megatron and Beast Wars Megatron, The Radiance and The Pale King, Scarface
  • Hailing from the arid and desert planet of Klendathu, the Arachnids are a race of arthropods who have well evolved to become giant creatures who made a caste society under a Hive Mind. They soon were found by the United Citizens Federation who (allegedly) left them along until they (supposedly) throwed an asteroid to the city of Buenos Aires, Argentina at Earth so that they could go to war with them. Because of this, the Federation declared war against them. How the war progresses varies but each time, the Arachnids one-up their strategies and plans, forcing the Federation to also find better ways to kill the Bug scum. But it all seems to indicate that the war between the humans and the Bugs will be one that will go on forever and ever.
    • How the Arachnids are is diverse. In some versions, they are technologically advanced at pars with humans and willingly went to war with them. Other times they are a Hive Mind of crude and rudimentary animals that somehow have managed to spread themselves to planets. Other times, someone in between.
  • It is unknown how did they even got to the Pantheons. Some theorize that they were brought by some villains who wanted to use them as weapons, but no proofs of that one. Other say that whoever maintains the hub had brought them in secret to see what would happen if they were in and lastly, that their spores made it to the Pantheons and started to spread in a planet that it landed. Either way, the Arachnids have arrived into the Pantheons and are there to stay, for the chagrin or the amusement of some.
  • Depending on who you are talking, the Arachnids are evil monsters that are Always Chaotic Evil and want to control everything, but others claim that the bugs are nothing more than simple animals who are being wrongfully accused. Nonetheless, due to their aggressive nature, the Arachnids have been invading several cities and making their hives in or near populated areas, making them a considerable threat. With the ruling caste of Brain Bugs, Queens and God Bugs not helping the situation at all, many went to defend the civilians while others tried to take advantage of their destructive capabilities. Such is the case of the Radiance, who became very attuned with the Arachnids' own Hive Mind and took a huge chunk of their numbers for her own designs against the Pale King. Having gotten under her command several of the Brain Bugs, she discovered of how large their kind was, seeking to expand herself through the Arachnids and massacre those who would go against her will, especially those of Hallownest and the Pale King. Despite her efforts, she seems to not be able to take full control of the Hive Mind due to the God Bug that rules the entire species and prevent her to take full control of the rachnids. She assumes that there must be more of these God Bug leaders, so she plans to take control of them first in order to fully control the Arachnids. Only time will tell if the Radiance becomes the new God Bug of the Arachnids.
    • On the same note, the Pale King has been working to undermine the Radiance's effort to do such a thing, either by using his own Light to disuade the Bugs from joining her Hive Mind, and has plans to uplift the entire Arachnids species to make them allies to Hallownest or outright subsume them into the kingdom, frustrated that the God Bug is also working against his plans of gaining potential help and keeping the race as a rudimentary species. Despite this, the Pale King did manage to uplift and bring some Brain Bugs to his side, away from both hive minds that controlled them and gained the knowledge they had accumulated over the millenias of their existence, trying to find a way to get a Queen Bug next. As of current, the Pale King, the Radiance and the God Bug(s?) are all fighting to see who can take the full power of the Arachnid race. And what does the Little Ghost have to say (well, act as they have no mouth) is to defend the innocent bugs of Hallownest from invading Arachnids, though the Hunter is curious of these new insectoids, killing them almost for sport and taking it to the next level when hunting a Queen Bug.
  • If there is one thing that both the Rebels and the Empire have come to agree with, it's that the Arachnids fucking suck dealing with. They appeared with no notice and took over several Imperial planets overnight, losing many of their powers and resources, making Palpatine to order their complete extermination from his territory but also secretely ordered to take one of their spores in order to raise his own Arachnids to send them at the Rebels. Meanwhile, Luke and company are fighting against hordes and hordes of this monsters, requesting support from their other allies to come help them. Amongst them were the USS Enterprise and the United Federation of Planets, who also got a bad case of Arachnids invasion in their own planets.
  • Waspinator really dislikes them, as he was in patrol under the orders of Megatron (the other one) until suddenly he saw a huge meteor fall near him and a horde of Warrior Bugs burst out of the meteor, leaving him scrapped and later repaired once more. However, Megatron thought that if he had Inferno become one of this powerful creatures and cloned him, he would have a limitless army of feral Infernos under his position, and Megatron (the normal one) also got the same idea, planning to technoform them and have another set of Insecticons working for him would be good for the Decepticons. Optimus cannot let this happen and thus, he and the Autobots help in whatever they can to stop the Arachnids horde and the Decepticons manipulations.
  • The Arachnids also got to the version of Mars, with the TerraFormars. Suffice to say, a huge war broke out between the two insectoid species, the Brain Bugs stationed in that Mars were scared shitless of how strong this cockroaches were, stronger than their best units too. They tried to carpet bomb the planet with Plasma Bugs but before they could shoot, the TerraFormar had killed them in a blitzing speed, it wasn't even funny. Eventually they were kicked out and forced to leave it.
  • Of course, the Arachnids, in their constant spreading across the cosmos, the met the Tyranids, a fellow feral Hive Mind of similarly insectoid beasts that constantly evolved. But to their detriment, the Arachnids just weren't strong nor numerous enough to face the Tyranids in fair matches and so, almost every fight between them ended with a Tyranid victory, but the Bugs are evolving to become resistant against the Tyranids and their superior bioweaponry. On the same vein, the Imperium of Man have been warring against the Bugs, viewing them in the same way the see the Tyranids, disgusting creatures that need to be purged from the galaxy. When the Biologis Magos studied them, they concluded that the Bugs were like the Tyranids but weaker, thinking that exterminating them would be a piece of cake.
  • A famous encounter that happened between the Bugs were the Xenomorphs, with one of their spores ending right into a planet infested with Xenomorphs. The first battle was epic, with hordes and hordes of Warrior Bugs and Xenomorph drones fighting with claw and mandibules, acid melting the eyes of the Bugs while arms of Drones flinging out into the air. Eventually, the Bugs won thanks to the usage of better units such as the Plasma Bugs, Tanker Bugs or Hoppers whom the Xenomorphs had a bit more trouble dealing with, eventually the Brain Bug in that planet ordered to kill the Xenomorph Queen and take the planet as their own. The Brain Bug eventually discovered of more planets with Xenomorphs and became the leading Brain Bug to kill them and take more planets. Scarface, the Predator, is very interested in killing them, especially their Brain Bugs to prove his hunting skills.
  • A horde of these Bugs entered to the Earth Godzilla was in and invaded Tokio like it was a big playground for ants, and of course, the King of the Monsters wouldn't have that, needing to maintain the order of nature in check and this aliens would ruin that, getting help from Mothra to stop this insects from harming the planet. To the the horror of the humans, a God Bug also appeared with the invading Bugs, having sensed Godzilla and wanting to kill him so that his kind could take over the planet easily, leading to a fight of titanic proportions between the God Bug and Godzilla. With the help of Mothra, Godzilla managed to kill the God Bug and kick out the Arachnids from Earth.
  • Samus, Master Chief and Commander Shephard have been teaming up to kill waves of invading Arachnids that would pose a threat to the galaxy as these Bugs would overrun entire societies. All three have their experience on killing Insectoid Aliens, the primal ones as well so it's nothing that big of a deal for them. Doom Guy and Gordon Freeman also joined in to help their fellow comrades as well too. The HECU and the Black Ops have joined the party as well in killing Bugs as well, though they are both leaving no witnesses there whenever they go, killing anyone who sees the Bugs. But if amongst the guys who knows how to kill them properly, then that honor goes to John D. Rico, who "supposedly" lost his home of Buenos Aires to the Arachnids as he reveals that he is from the world the Arachnids are from.
  • While many people are against the Arachnids, some people have pointed out that all of this attacks are too coordinated for the Bugs to do. While yes, they do have a Ruling Caste that strategizes and does the thinking part, it's unclear if they are truly hostile to life itself or they are being forced to attack so many sectors of the Pantheons. Some people who entered the universe the Arachnids came from reveal that they were actually normal creatures that simply inhabited planets they sent their spores to, with no real hostile intentions until the human government of that Universe, the United Citizen Federation started to invade their planets and they had no choice but to fight back. This would kind of explain the hostility they have showed to humans as they assume these humans must also be the ones they have fought against, with some unknown villain taking advantage of these animosity to spread chaos across the galaxy. Meanwhile, there are some who are led by Rico who consider what the formers have said preposterous and simply vile, labeling them as traitors to humanity, despectively calling them Bug Sympathizers and rallying more humans to their cause to exterminate the entire Arachnid species.
  • "A good bug is a dead bug!" —A soldier of the United Citizen Federation sharing his thoughts of the Arachnids.

Welcome. Pretty sure we haven't. Make a case for a trope you think is a good fit for him. You should probably check the database or halls/houses where the trope would show up first to make sure it isn't taken

[up][up][up] and [up][up]OK cool

In their journey, they met several robots who weren't affected by the Virus yet. The most important of them however, was a robot called Verse, who guided them to find the source of the Virus and liberate Arcadia from it's tragedy. To accomplish this, Haiku was told to free the Three Creators from the Virus by fighting their infected selfs and force to open a data vault that the Virus was attempting to access, believing that if the Virus was trying to enter there, Haiku would have their opportunity to purge the Virus for good. But after defeating the monstrous virus, Verse told them that their work wasn't over yet and was needed to do one last thing, discover the truth of the Virus' origin. And so, the little robot headed to the Lost Archives where they found that their creator, the 4th Creator Atom had been betrayed by his own siblings and killed with the same Virus that Arcadia had suffered. With their secret revealed, all Three Creators appeared and attacked Haiku to prevent the truth from escaping but were killed and punished in their attempt on doing so. With all the threats of Arcadia now gone, they settled for a farmer's life with a friend they made in the way, Rusty, to make biofuel and continue helping both robots and nature to heal itself on Earth.
  • It was a pleasant and sunny day when Haiku and their friends were brought to the Pantheons, cultivating fresh vegetables to make more biofuel for everyone. Until a drone unlike anything they had seen before came to Haiku and gave them a card that invited them and their friends to come to the Pantheons as they will have great adventures there. Haiku decided to accept it and the drone opened a portal that allowed the robots to enter a new world with so many things that were foreign for them. They were explained of what the Pantheons were and the function it served and heavily intrigued by it, Haiku went to explore what this new lands had to offer.
  • The first thing they realized is that they had back the Kill-Switch Sword once again, as the weapon vanished after the defeat of the Three Creators, which came in handy as Haiku met several threats in their journey. After being cornered by a group of giant bug people that oozed a sickening orange juice, another bug had appeared and with a strange force, killed the bugs that were near them. Despite the inability of Haiku to speak, it was clear they were grateful for the rescue and tried to communicate with their savior, but the white bug ignored every attempt at communication but let the little robot to follow them around. Following them brought them to a kingdom of bugs and a great civilization, reminding them of the stories of Arcadia, and wondering if it once had looked like this before.
  • There, they met a powerful king of pale light, and asked them what they were and why did they follow their child. As Haiku had no ability to speak, they did their best to communicate with the king but somehow, as if it was magic, the king understood what they wanted to say perfectly. And after a trip of showing everything Hallownest had to offer, the king allowed the little robot to come back whenever they wanted, asking them to watch out for any bug with an orange substance, as it is the work of a evil goddess who wanted to ruin his kingdom. Haiku didn't knew who this goddess was but having gone through the Virus plague back in Arcadia, they would make sure to fight her monsters.
  • To the surprise and happiness of Haiku, they met Verse once more, whom she claims she was brought by the systems of the House of Machinery and Technology. She began to show Haiku all the new robots that inhabited this area of the Pantheons. Amongst the robots Haiku became instantly friends with was Roz, a robot that just like them, loved nature and worked hard to maintain it. Soon they became a member of the Android Nature Watch and became friends with everyone in the group instantly. Roz was fascinated to hear of the plan that Atom had and the rest of the group was saddened to hear that his own siblings had killed him for it. Haiku isn't sad, as they know that they continue doing Atom's wish even after his death. With a new integrant of the team, Haiku and his friends helped Roz and the ANW to protect the house of Nature. Bender while brash with Haiku, still treated them like one more of the team and while Wood Man still working for Wily, he treated Haiku with the upmost of respect. As default, Haiku oposses all villains who contaminates the world such as Eggman or the Eco-Villains, working with Roz to stop them.
  • While travelling through a unknown world with what appeared to be hostile creatures and horrifying beasts, they met a tall robot with an Arm Cannon and just like them could turn into a ball, they decided to follow them to know where they were and found out that the "robot" in question wasn't a machine but a human girl. She introduced herself as a bounty hunter and was wondering why they little robot was following her, and seeing that they also could turn into a ball, she wondered if they were following her to see they were just like her. Finding Haiku both cute and amusing, she decided to let them tag alongside her. But when they were leaving and travelling through space, they were ambushed by a Space Pirate attack and the two had to fight against them. Samus was pleased to see that despite the small size, Haiku fought very well and killed all the invading aliens. Samus then warned them of the Space Pirates, of Ridley and the Mother Brain. After this, Haiku would help Samus fight against both Ridley and the Mother Brain.
  • They found some good friends with Mega Man after they helped him fend off a squad of Sniper Joes sent by Dr. Wily. While they couldn't speak, Rock understood that Haiku was a robot of good after saving him and decided to take him for repairs as some of the Joes hit them in some critical parts. Dr. Light was perplexed of what he saw whe ananlizing Haiku as he noticed several organic pieces within them and working in tandem with the rest of the mechanical pieces. After fixing Haiku, Thomas offered the little guy to spend time in the Light Labs if it doesn't take too much for them and they gladly accepted the offering. The robot enjoyed playing with Roll and quickly became friends with Bomb Man thanks to their ability to explode, quickly making a team.
  • The rest of the Light family and acquaintances came to like Haiku a lot, loving how adorable the little guy was. Verse was also invited to join Haiku and when asked who the little robot was, Verse explained to everyone of who Haiku was, their origin and what they accomplished. Everyone was fascinated of how such a little robot had saved an entire world from further decaying. X, Zero and Axl especially connected with Haiku's story as they had to deal with a world where robots slowly succumbed to the Maverick Virus and turned them into the evil Mavericks that attacked humans, Rock too since he had to fight off the Roboenza infected robots as well. All in all, the Light family hold Haiku with a great opinion.
  • Wily almost choked himself with how lovey dovey Haiku is for everyone and naturally dislikes them for being a robotic hero who teams up with Mega Man and take down his army of robots. And so he sent out some of his Robot Masters to eliminate them, but Haiku was deceptively strong and fast as well as adept with that sword they carried. But 8 Robot Masters all at once was too much for the little robot so they had to escape as a ball.
    • Dr. Weil hated Haiku more than the average robot than he does. Mainly because they were born for the purpose of protecting other robots from the virus and for helping nature to grow once more in the desolate Earth, hating them more when he learned of their purpose by Atom. As such, Weil's forces are always on the hunt for Haiku, to the point that one time, he sent Omega to crush the little robot out of spite. And if it wasn't for Zero saving Haiku, the little robot would have been scrap long ago, and Haiku grew to see Zero as a big brother figure thanks to this.
  • For the same reasons they fought against the Virus of Arcadia, they also fight other evil viruses such as Sigma or the Venjix Virus, not going to let that other robots suffer due to a evil virus affecting their minds, especially against the Absolute Solver as they heard what it does to other robots. It's common to see Haiku fight Mavericks and Grinders in a battlefield related to them. They also hate the likes of SKYNET and Ultron who seek to destroy all humans for a supposed inferiority, reminding them how the Creators had done the same thing and led to the destruction of Arcadia. But they also came to understand that there were also evil humans out there that enslave other robots, such as Dr. Eggman and his Badniks, teaming up with the Sonic Team to stop his plans of conquest. They tried to face against Metal Sonic once but they aren't fast enough to fight on equal foot but managed to cause some damage to him by getting him near their explosion. Sonic liked the determination of Haiku and often invites them to his gang and go racing.
  • Given their upbringing, Haiku fights other robots who would try to opress such as Dr. Nefarious who tried to robotize everyone with the Biobliterator, also hating the fact that Nefarious once tried to erase all organic life and replace it with robots. But if there is one machine that Haiku utterly can't stand is AM. Just the simple idea that a machine hated so much the humans to the point of rendering the planet a desolated wasteland all to torment for eternity 5 humans. While they know they aren't strong enough to face such a powerful entity, they will do anything in their hand to stop him, no matter the cost. AM is simply revolted to see a machine that would give their life for the humans, thinking of Haiku even lesser than a cockroach.
  • Haiku has been nominated as a honorary Autobot after they helped Hound and Beachcomber protect a forest from an attack of the Firecons from burning it all down just For the Evulz. Everyone in the Autobots faction like Haiku for their heroism and commitment to stop the virus from further harming Arcadia. Haiku listens with great enthusiasm the great stories of Cybertron in the archives of the Autobots but is saddened that just like Arcadia, Cybertron fell into disgrace, but is at least happy to see that there are those who are trying to bring life back to their home. The Decepticons meanwhile, don't really have much to say about Haiku, thinking they are some stupid and inferior machine ripe for the killing.
  • Taking up for a job to help remove trash from natural areas, they met WALL•E while working. Remembering that there was a robot similar to him back in Arcadia, they got along just fine as they were both robots who loved nature and were admitedly very adorable. EVE also liked Haiku after spending time together, helping plant trees together. After hearing of Auto, they felt sympathy for him, wondering if he would be able to break through his programming one day.
  • GLaDOS regards Haiku as an interesting curiosity, born completely immune to a potent virus that turned other robots into feral beasts, sharing of Haiku's existence to the rest of her allies. Ares thinks that this little thing should be working for robot supremacy, lamenting that the Virus didn't work on them and wishing to crush them with his hands. PAL cannot comprehend why is the ball shaped robot so adammant on protecting humans while SKYNET thinks that Haiku must be eliminated before they can present themself as a bigger threat later on. HAL 9000 however, thinks that Haiku is a lovely robot, having spent a bit of time teaching and playing chess with them and thought that their desire to protect nature was admiring.
  • They are a popular character amongst the members of the Hall of Explosives, given that Haiku can cause explosions with their body without harming themselves at all. King Bob-omb is very happy to have them around and thinks Haiku could be an honorary Bob-omb given how similar they are with his subjects, but Haiku isn't really interested in doing that, though they find the walking bombs kinda cute.
  • Jenny thinks that Haiku is an adorable and huggable little guy who also has a big ass sword carrying with them. They look up to her as a big sister and sometimes follows her around to learn more of her. Bastion, Zenyatta and Orisa are very happy to have Haiku amongst the heroic robots in the Pantheons and help other robots. They also think GIR is funny and while they cannot eat, enjoy seeing GIR happy downing down a whole pizza. They also like of how Canti, despite being such a powerful machine with the capacity to harm a lot of people, he choses to be good and nice with other humans, reminded of Zero. They also like N a lot, listening to his dog rambling and generally just vibing with him, though Uzi is a bit more harder to interact with but they are both generally in good terms.
  • While Haiku does indeed love their new robotic friends, they also love their fellows amongst the Nature Preservers, especially with Ori. Haiku has no idea of magic and it was a great surprise for them to see Ori's powers over light and it's effects over nature as the Tree Spirit. Ori isn't excempt of fascination, surprised to see inert materials such as metal and plastic As such, their friendship is very strong, and most people think they do a very good duo, being ridiculously adorable critters that have accomplished great things.

Also, I found the perfect trope for Quassy now, if you guys don't mind me proposing a new one: QuAsSy, Quality Assuring Deity of Seemingly Hopeless Boss Fights: You see guys, Quassy's boss fight always ends in a way that it wins, always turning Heart into a member of it's elite army, too strong for Heart to actually beat it. BUT, the game has certain moments you need to complete so that Quassy is now beatable, by having Slash help out you in the fight and give the strength boost needed to finally defeat Quassy for good. It of course, has scenes that turns Quassy's boss fight beatable.
[down] Eh fair enough. Though it would have been interesting to see how the rest of the human heroes interact with Quassy since it is one of the few AI villains that gets to proudly say that it killed all the humans of the planet, something the likes of AM or Ultron can boast of and many AI villains can't say the same thing. But let's wait and see what the others have to say about the proposal.

[tup] to Haiku but uh..... idk, [tdown] to Quassy. no offense, but they don't seem that interesting enough of a character to make them stand out against other evil ai's in the pantheon. i think having JUST Heart and Slash is fine

[up][up][up][tup] for Haiku.

@ Verminators: [tup].

@ legofan74 the first thing that you need to do is read the rules which will help. If you want to nominated a candidate for the Pantheon you need to include what trope it is for and a brief paragraph explaining why that character fits that role.

This is my example of nominating a character for a role as a deity of a trope. I have said who I am nominating, for what role I am nominating that character for, and a paragraph saying why that character fits that role.

This is just an example so just ignore it.

I wish to nominated Sonic The Comic's Super Sonic for God of Superpowered Evil Side.

Super Sonic is a character from Fleetway's Sonic The Comic that Sonic transforms into when angry or stressed. He tries to kill Sonic's friends and other citizens for fun. He has enough power to turn an asteroid into a sun and shove a moon into a planet. Afterwards he will turn back into Sonic.

@Nights: For the Verminators, given that you mentioned their High Priest, surprised you didn't appear to mention The Hedgies who would be opposed by them by default. Besides that, [tup]

[up][up][up][up][up] The Auto-Ops and the Sovereign AIs are formidable enemies outright with the latter also attempting to assimilate all life into their extraterrestrial collective, aside from that, [tup] for Haiku.
