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    • If you feel the need to remove a character for some reason (poor quality, outdated titles, etcetera) and replace him/her with another or outright rework, please see what the other tropers think about this in the discussion thread before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

  • Do you guys think Life And Death and Mentalism may need more sub-houses to balance things or what?
  • Narrative and Love are getting pretty hefty all over. Any solutions?
  • Aliens is getting pretty huge. Should it become its own house in future? Should something similar be done with Undead if things like vampires are factored in?

Bluestar, The Goddess Who Was Forced to Choose Between Her Vocation and Her Children (Bluekit, Bluepaw, Bluefur, Bluestone, Moonstar)

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/8b1df0312ef7fa97575b4aa74235824d.jpg
  • [tup]: 1 (Clovis)
  • Potential House: Outlooks on Job
  • Rank: Lesser Goddess
  • Symbol: ThunderClan's symbol in blue
  • Alignment: Lawful Good (True Neutral during her crazy phase)
  • Portfolio: Having to decide between becoming leader or keeping her kits, choosing the former for the greater good, being a great leader, mentor to Firestar, daddy issues, twin sister issues, a life consisting of one terrible event after another, betrayed by her trusted deputy, fragile psychological state, hating StarClan for a while, death by saving her Clan, resident of StarClan
  • Domains: Cats, Leadership, Dilemmas, Duty, Madness, Doubt
  • Allies: Bastet, Simba, Mufasa, Artoria Pendragon, Shiro Amada, Sam and Dean Winchester, Sophie Zawistowski, Romeo and Juliet
  • Enemies: Greebo, Scar, Dr. Sofia Lamb, Ragyo Kiryuin, Akechi Mitsuhide
  • Opposed by: Hilda
  • Complicated Relations: The House of Family, the House of Prophecy, Salem Haberhagen, Morgana
  • His Approval Fills Her With Shame: Kiritsugu Emiya
  • Scorns: Garfield
  • Bluestar started her life as a benevolently ambitious ThunderClan cat who wished for nothing more than to do her very best for her Clan. What she didn't count on was the amount of pain she'd have to face and overcome on her journey to become leader. On top of losing her mother at a young age and her twin sister later, when her kits are born her Clan is at a crossroads regarding who will become Sunstar's deputy. Since she has kits it seems like it'll be Thistleclaw by default. However Bluestar (then Bluefur) knows how Thistleclaw really is and cannot bear the idea of her Clan being involved in senseless battles. So she makes her choice: she gives her kits to be raised in another Clan and becomes deputy. She never really gets over it until her death.
    • The ridiculous amount of pain she has gone through in her mortal life means she has quite the affinity for Sam and Dean, perhaps the biggest woobies in the Pantheon.
    • Discovered that there are even more painful choices than hers when she learned of Sophie Zawistowski's history. She's trying hard not to think that humans are some kind of monsters to force a mother to send one of her children to death like that.
  • Is keenly interested in Romeo and Juliet's story because that sort of thing is sadly common in the Clans. She went through such a romance with a tom called Oakheart, and while it didn't end in the death of either cat, it did lead to her having kits and having to give them away.
  • It's known that Clan cats sometimes wonder whether there exists a higher force than their warrior ancestors in StarClan. She believes she has found it in the Pantheon.
    • She also thinks that the frequent prophecies weighing on the Clans' minds probably originate in the House of Prophecy. Since quite some of those prophecies have been misunderstood and led to tragedy, she's not all that fond of the House for its lack of clarity, though she understands its role in shaping the future.
  • As she's a cat, she gets protection and endorsement from the supreme goddess of cats herself, Bastet. She also hangs out a lot at the House of Felines in general; it's where she feels most at home, especially as she can't quite shake off her belief as a born Clan cat that Humans Are Cthulhu, even if her time in the Pantheon has shown her that there are many humans with concerns similar to her own.
    • Although she doesn't necessarily like all felines. She thinks Greebo is full of needless savagery; as much of a feral cat as she is, she'd never allow his behavior if he were in a Clan. Salem seems decent enough, but she's disconcerted by how he used to be human. But most of her contempt is reserved for Garfield, who represents the kind of pampered kittypet that no cat should strive to be, in her opinion.
    • Also doesn't really understand why Morgana doesn't like being called a cat and insists that he's human. Honestly she's kind of offended that he's offended. Though she can't help but admire his thieving skills and think that he'd make a great Clan cat.
  • Hilda has a lot of resentment for her on account of Bluestar giving her children away and has wondered out loud whether she ever cared for them. Bluestar feels her resentment is justified and hasn't tried to argue with her.
  • Simba is surprisingly understanding of her, as he knows that being the leader means to do what one knows is best and not what one wants. Both also suffered a lot from losing family members. On a more optimistic note, Bluestar is very pleased to finally have the chance to talk with a real lion, lions being sort of worshipped in the Clans. On the other hand, she thinks Scar is unworthy of being called a lion for trying to murder his family and sovereign to seize power. He rather reminds her of Tigerstar, her traitorous former Number Two.
  • She also hates Akechi Mitsuhide for betraying the man who trusted him. Again, ths has to do with her bad memories of suffering something similar at the paws of Tigerstar.
  • Artoria has a great rapport with her since they both sacrificed personal happiness for the sake of their people, went on to become known as great leaders and spent the rest of their life regretting it.
  • Kiritsugu believes she did the right thing for the sake of saving her Clan from being led by Thistleclaw, who would have surely led the Clan to unnecessary battles for the sake of his bloodlust. Bluestar doesn't really appreciate being approved of by someone who'd go as far as killing his own family to uphold his ideals.
  • Never feels welcome in the House of Family, as most of the residents treat her coldly on account of her decision to give her kits away, even if it ate her up for the rest of her life. She understands their attitude, however her history makes her very aggressive against any mothers who mistreat their children, believing they don't know how lucky they are to have children at all.
  • In her stay in the Pantheon she has learned about the fixation that humans have on girls that wear cat ears. Now she thinks we're even sillier (and sometimes more disturbing) than she originally thought.
  • Is rather fond of Shiro Amada because his mild-mannered personality, pacifist nature and leadership style remind her of her successor Firestar.

Reposting too. Different profiles, though.

Alastor Moody, The God With the Mad Eye (Mad-Eye Moody)

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/mad_eye_moody.jpg

Forrest Gump, God of Shaping Earth's History From "Behind The Scenes"

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Forrest_Gump_on_a_bench_4829.jpg
  • In the case of Forrest, in his universe, oblivious to his successes (and much of anything in general), he exposed the Watergate break-ins, taught Elvis Presley how to dance, participated in a famous anti-Vietnam War rally, inspired the smiley face symbol, invested in Apple Computer, and kickstarted cross-country running, among other feats.
  • Gump greeted Elvis Presley like an old friend, and the rock star in turn remembered him from when he rented a room in Gump's mother's house (which was made an impromptu hotel).
  • Bill Overbeck was surprised to hear that a simple man like Gump participated in the Vietnam War relatively unscathed (save a gunshot wound in the buttocks) and received a Medal of Honor for running back and forth to rescue wounded soldiers.
  • There are several who hate/envy him for getting by without getting into much trouble, changing history without even working much to do it, and being a general fool who somehow lives through everything he's gone through. Forrest for the most part just ignores these comments.

As I said, there is more than one way Been There, Shaped History can apply. One is changing "Real Life history", which is where Forrest fits in. The other is changing from behind established lore, which I still plan for Galen Marek.

Another example: Department of Redundancy Department isn't limited to names (which Speed-o'-Sound Sonic holds). It can go for how one speaks as well. Spikes High has it planned for a LBT character, though Ruby (yes, we have another one) is of very low priority.

Of course, I will prioritize on Forrest for now. I still plan on doing both, though.

Who are fans of the ancient past? They might be buddies with Cynthia.

Cynthia, The Socialite Goddess (Shirona)

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/cynthiaart_8571.png
  • Demigoddess
  • Symbol: Her hairbands
  • Theme Song: Champion Cynthia
  • Alignment: Neutral Good
  • Portfolio: The Champion of Sinnoh, Lady of War, Adventurer Archaeologist Who Rather Just Relax, Non-Typing Specialty and Diverse Team at their Best Potential, Hair covering her left eye and knees
  • Domains: Champion, Archaeologist
  • Allies: Ash Ketchum, Red, Indiana Jones, League of Explorers, Lara Croft, Bruce Wayne/Batman
  • Enemies: Cyrus
  • Cynthia is one of Sinnoh's top trainers and a renowned archaeologist who examines the ancient ruins and legends, but some of the times, she would rather just relax. Though she rather relax, she is one of the most powerful Pokémon trainer in the world and the champion of the Sinnoh region.
  • As a socialite, whose prominence is her status as an archaelogist and the Pokémon League Champion of Sinnoh, she once met Bruce Wayne, by prospect being a playboy in his civilian life. She found his knowledge of history to be very valuable in her research.
  • Considered one of the toughest trainers in the world due to her highly-trained Pokémon, especially her ace Pokémon, Garchamp. Ex-Champion Red found interest in challenging her to see if that feat is no exaggeration.
  • She is rather amazed by some of the Pantheon's known archaeologists for their pursuit of knowledge and relics of the ancient past.
  • She is often seen traveling throughout the world like the Unova region and the Alola Region to relax in spite of her work as an archaeologist. She is seen wearing her usual wardrobe, even in a very tropical environment in Alola.
  • Hearing that the House of Water and Ice has some beautiful beaches, she is often relaxing and sunbathing. Many of her fans, male and female alike, come see her for whatever she might be wearing.
  • Cynthia is often seen in the House of Knowledge, studying the history and mythology of the past of many civilizations, not just that of Sinnoh.

Does Fort Schmerzen count as under Establishments or Artificially Made Vessels?

A while ago I talked about Dark/Yami Marik having Split-Personality Takeover given he managed to take over Marik for quite some time, or some other split personality trope. Would it work? I know they're Sharing a Body, however like Yugi and Yami Yugi they are separate entities that have pushed and shoved each other from their body. And Yugi/Yami Yugi are separate gods, so I think it can be allowed. Though if so and not Split-Personality Takeover, what else might fit?

I could ask similar things about Diavolo and Doppio

Could Rick's portal gun be filed under Treasures somewhere? I also think the Enchiridion could fit in there, perhaps under books.

Kadokawa's doing a great job at being retarded again.

Are there any deities who don't like being alone or liars?
