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    • If you feel the need to remove a character for some reason (poor quality, outdated titles, etcetera) and replace him/her with another or outright rework, please see what the other tropers think about this in the discussion thread before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

  • In an alternate Earth, a governmental agency known as Alphabet Soup sought out the greatest young minds of newborn people for their benefit and secretly kidnapped them to work for military projects, creating a lie about the kidnapped young being unable to live out in the sun's light to keep them trapped indoors, one of their members, Doctor K. (who had long forgotten her real name) found out the ruse and to escape used a sentient virus she had developed, Venjix, to destroy the facility's systems and get out safely with all the other captured children; unfortunately she was caught before she could finish the firewall and soon Venjix laid waste to more than the facility as it would take over the world's technology systems and began a successful extermination campaign against mankind, destroying most of civilization with only the dome city of Corinth surviving. In Corinth, Venjix faced opposition from the Power Rangers RPM, a special team whose tech was made by Dr. K to combat him. Though Venjix came close to winning, he ultimately lost and was apparently dstroyed when the Ranger's entire base was collapsed on him, but part of his data survived and infected the morpher of the RPM Red Ranger, laying dormant.
    • Years later, a scientist named Nate experimented with the infected morpher and snake DNA, when they merged Venjix was partially reborn under the name of Evox. Desiring to conquer the world once more and eventually the Multiverse, Evox created a special army of digital troops to attack the newly formed Beast Morpher Rangers with. Eventually he would recover his missing data and become Venjix completely once again, with this he created himself a new body and nearly succeeded in taking over the Grid, until the Beast Morpher Rangers figured out his weakness to human DNA that he gained in his new body. After the sacrifice of one of their teammates, they were able to load this DNA into a special blade and destroyed Venjix with it once and for all.
  • Venjix was ascended once word of mouth about his exploits and destruction came to be heard around in the Pantheon. Given his level of sentience and high success of his actions, he was recreated and resurrected with all his memories intact. Venjix was at first confused but took little time to adapt to the Pantheon's rules and soon began plotting the downfall of mankind and all his enemies once again, even if he's rather disappointed that neither the RPM or Beast Morpher Rangers are around for him to enact immediate revenge.
  • Has little to no good relations with any other Tokusatsu deities (villain and hero alike), for various reasons regarding his general cruelty and his attempts to kill off all of humanity in general.
    • (Power Rangers Deities)
    • (Go-Busters and Goseiger)
    • Out of all Toku Villains, Venjix primarly enjoys working with Dark Specter the most, as Specter does not mind him destroying all of humanity and reducing their civilization to cinders, given that he himself once almost destroyed all of Earth once it proved too problematic for his plans, likewise Specter views value in Venjix's power and resoruces and thus keeps him close for any future cooperations.
    • Shocker has had a hard time cooperating with Venjix, as they seek to enslave humanity and transform them all into Kaijin, not kill off all of them (provided the Great Leader doesn't feels like doing the latter option). As such, any cooperation between them and Venjix is one where both sides are at odds and will no doubt take the other one out should they no longer feel the need for their alliance to remain standing.
    • Riku Asakura/Ultraman Geed was one of his very first enemies that he made. Riku was reminded of one of his deadliest enemies, the murderous AI Gilbaris by Venjix's appearance, behavior and destruction of humanity. He particularly felt furious when he heard that Venjix nearly succeeded at exterminating humanity itself and nearly took over the Multiverse of the Power Rangers. Venjix himself feels a little afraid of the Ultra, as his powers in his Ultimate Final form can easily destroy him even at his strongest and thus has forced Venjix to seek out resources to strengthen himself in case he and the Ultra clash with one another.
  • (John Connor, Sarah Connor, Kyle Reese)
  • Has made allies with fellow evil/rebellious AI in the pantheon, especially those who seek to exterminate humanity as much as he does. Among those stand out are the following:
    • (Skynet)
    • (Ultron)
    • (Fabrication Machine, Ares)

  • The Nerdlucks worked at the intergalactic amusement park, Moron Mountain, there they suffered under the tyrannical leadership of their boss, Mr. Swackhammer. When Moron Mountain began to lose popularity, Swackhammer began thinking up a way to save the reputation of his business, eventually deciding to capture all the Looney Tunes to use as slaves for an attraction for all of eternity. With their orders, the pipsqueak aliens went to Earth to find and capture the Tunes, with them proving to be far smarter and deadlier than any foe that all of them faced, even Bugs Bunny was ultimately unable to be rid of them as he did with any previous antagonist of his. When the Toons thought they had otusmarted them by tricking them into playing baseball for their freedom, the Nerdlucks stole the talents of the best NBA players and became the hulking Monstars, but thanks to Michael Jordan's guidance and the Tune's own toony nature, they were beaten in the end, and following some motivation from Jordan they turned on Swackhammer and shot him to the Moon, never to be seen again.
  • They were ascended after handily defeating most other candidates that they went up against... Once they were temporarily given their Monstar forms back. Upon ascending they were then given the ability to transform into the Monstars at will, much to their delight as they had missed being strong and big. They've set up a reputation of dread in the Pantheon's Sports House as their skills have significantly improved and are now able to catch up to more competent basketball players than before.
  • On the 20th anniversary of their first game, the Nerdlucks faced off against Blake Griffin in a sadly not broadcast game hosted by Bugs Bunny, which was used for advertisement purposes for a line of sportswear. Though how they recovered their Monstar forms is unknown, Bugs Bunny himself refused to share details, claiming that they "had been working out". As it was not broadcast, no one knows how it ended and some try to find out by asking the Monstars, who won't say it, preferring to leave others in the dark; though some suspect they're saving face after being defeated.

[up][up] For Venjix, I would like to wonder what would he think of AM. There's a chance Venjix might be curious to see just how demented and sadistic AM is when it comes to torturing his victims

Also, with the Monstars, given that they'd be likely to play against the Looney Tunes cast, albeit in a more friendly competition, I can probably see Stargirl trying to sing and cheer for them while they play. It's up to you what would they make of Stargirl's unorthodox way of showing support to a playing team.


Anyway, mentioning the Mon Partnerships overhaul again, considering I just got ignored. As I said, it's done and I would like some approvals before the final draft could go on and replace the Pokemon Partnerships page.

[up] Don't think the idea was proposed, let alone approved. And Kamen Rider Zi-O has Because Destiny Says So (the trope Young Xenanort has).

Moving on, a rough draft for Golgo 13's rework. He is a no-nonsense assassin who uses a sniper rifle to take out targets and has no tolerance for anyone who goes against their own deal they made with him.

On an additional note, part of the reason I'm doing this rework is because his old profile made it seem like he has long-term alliances with others, which I'm certain he doesn't do. He meets up with a client, client tells him what to do, client stays out of his way for his mission if they aren't up to anything suspicious, and mission is carried out. He's a for-hire sniper who's only focused on his job.

Anyhow, looking for suggestions on what to add for interactions (and if the old interactions from his old profile could be modified in some way).

  • Domains: Assassination, Snipers
  • Rivals:
  • Refuses to Work With: Backstabbers (notably Dimitri Rascalov)
  • The world is full of different people ranging from relatively decent to downright monstrous in terms of attitude. Many people want to eliminate their rivals and this is where a man known mainly as Golgo 13 comes in. A man of very few words, he gets straight to the point that he’s here to get the job done and performs them with the help of his trusted M16 rifle. Golgo is known for being very smart and determined in finishing his assigned task, has had plenty of encounters with different ladies, and has no tolerance whatsoever to any client that’s deceitful to him.
  • Some shady events revolving around corruption and money being funneled to evil entities resulted in a few Pantheon denizens trying to find someone that can put an end to this particular event. Elsewhere, a man has received a call to meet up in an abandoned cemetery to learn more about the assignment he was about to receive. Knowing about the high standards set in place by Golgo 13, the client explained to him not only the task to assassinate whoever was responsible for the money-laundering scheme, but the Pantheon as a whole and how things are different from what he’d expect. With that in mind and the reward money set, Golgo accepted the job and after some violent encounters with criminals who didn’t want a hitman to interfere with their task, Golgo was able to assassinate the perpetrator responsible for that corruption, especially after some crafty planning on Golgo’s end.
  • As mentioned, the Pantheon is completely different from the more grounded reality that Golgo was used to. Death is mostly considered to be a nuisance more than a danger given how the denizens can come back to life, there are a lot of notable names in the Pantheon that Golgo is aware of (or “gods” as the Pantheon designates them) and will potentially cross paths with multiple times, and several fantastical elements within certain areas. Even so, Golgo took the time he needed to get used to the more unorthodox world he was in and ensure that his tasks still end in success. Many of the targets he was given to go after in the Pantheon tend to be ordinary people that have very close ties to many of the aforementioned prominent figures.
  • While Golgo has a few things that sets him off with someone standing behind him as one such example, he has a prominent hatred of anyone that betrays him, especially if that person is someone who hired him to begin with. Besides the various minor denizens who Golgo came to distrust after some jobs went wrong, there are a number of actual Pantheon deities who are notable for backstabbing others, often for selfish reasons. Given how wide and fast information travels in the Pantheon along with him making adjustments if he has an assignment there, Golgo opted to not work with any notable untrustworthy deity present (with Dimitri Rascalov among those he won’t accept any offer from despite the latter having made some failed attempts to hire Golgo to get rid of some personal enemies of his), not only because he’ll end up with the short end of a deal when he’s out of their sight, but that someone will ask him to target them for specific reasons anyways.

Liu Bei, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, Gods of Brotherhood Oaths (Liu Bei: Xuande, The Greatest Good, The Emperor of Shu; Guan Yu: Changsheng/Yunchang, Lord Guan, Emperor Guan, Duke Guan, Holy Emperor Lord Guan, Marquis Zhuangmou, Duke Zhonghui, Prince Zhuangmou Yiyong Wu'an Yingji, Prince of Xianling Yiyong Wu'an Yingji, Holy Ruler Deity Guan, Immortal of Chongning, Sangharama Bodhisattva Lord of the Magnificent Beard, Saint Of War, Guan Cena; Zhang Fei: Yide)

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/peachgardenoath.png
L-R: Zhang Fei, Liu Bei, Guan Yu
  • Intermediate Gods
  • Symbol: A peach tree
  • Alignment: Liu Bei and Guan Yu are Lawful Good, Zhang Fei is Chaotic Good
  • Portfolio: Swearing an oath of brotherhood, Asskicking Equals Authority, Honor Before Reason, morally better than they were historically
  • Domains: Brotherhood, War, Heroism, Honor, Loyalty
  • Herald: Those aligned with the kingdom of Shu
  • Special Relationships: Sun Shangxiang (Liu Bei's wife), Guan Yinping (Guan Yu's daughter), Zhang Xingcai (Zhang Fei's daughter)
  • Allies: Huang Zhong, Sanada Yukimura, Tokugawa Ieyasu, Honda Tadakatsu, Mami Tomoe
  • Enemies: The Wei, Wu and Jin kingdoms, Lu Bu, Diaochan, Palpatine
  • Mutual respect: Many Sengoku-era warriors
  • Rivals: Xiahou Dun (Guan Yu), Cu Chulainn (Zhang Fei)
  • Worthy Opponent: Tyr (Guan Yu)
  • The later years of the Han dynasty were plagued by corruption within the court, leading to the dissatisfaction of the people and eventual fragmentation of the empire. Liu Bei, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were three men who stood out in their loyalty to the institution, having sworn a brotherhood oath to help each other in defending the empire from its enemies. Liu Bei would go on to found the kingdom of Shu as the legitimate successor to the fallen empire, but there were rivals in the form of the kingdom of Wei and the kingdom of Wu. Each of these three kingdoms vied for the reunification of the country on their own terms, in a conflict that lasted for about 60 years.
  • Despite that their oath included the weighty hope that all three died on the same day, it was not to be as Guan Yu was captured and executed by Sun Quan, Zhang Fei's bad temper and poor treatment of his subordinates got him assassinated in his sleep, and Liu Bei only much later died of illness. Their strong loyalty to each other and many feats in one of Chinese history's bloodier eras got them quickly noticed by the Pantheon and they ascended. All three were glad to be able to fight at each other's side again and hope they can be like this until the end of time.
  • As heavenly as the Pantheon can be, it seems things are not to be peaceful for the three, as many of their old enemies are around. One of their greatest foes, Cao Cao, has even aligned himself with fellow ruthless warlord Oda Nobunaga, opening up a whole other roster of mighty warriors that the three have to watch out for. Fortunately, that came with its own opportunities for new alliances, with Liu Bei wasting no time in reaching out to Ieyasu and Yukimura for their support. They also often meet in calmer circumstances to exchange tales of the wars they've gone through, a fascinating topic for all the parties involved.
  • All are noted for being action dads, though how well their children succeed them in this regard varies. Zhang Fei's and Guan Yu's daughters are remarkably competent, but Liu Bei's son is... lackluster. Despite that, Liu Bei gets a lot of grief from the Heroic Protectors of Family for throwing his infant son to the ground. He has expressed intense regret at his rash decision. He now treats his son properly and suspects that his son may understand more about benevolence than he ever did.
  • Palpatine once tried to have the 501st abduct Liu Bei to use as leverage against Guan Yu and forge an alliance with Cao Cao. Before they could even get to the front gates, Zhang Fei let off a roar which paralyzed the entire legion with fear, and then proceeded to slaughter them. Some gods have been taking bets as to who would be more impassable, Zhang Fei or Dian Wei. Most other gods would rather not have to find out. A few merely answered "Lu Bu."
  • While it was known that Liu Bei was a rather treacherous being that betrayed several lords he served under, he recognized that he's trying to fix the image to live up the benevolent persona he preached. Not to mention, many would still comment that he still rewarded those who served under him generously in as much as he could, and it was a time of war; he was doing what he could to survive, not out of malice. All in all, he wished he paid more attention to the history department of his kingdom. Even then, people and Liu Bei himself have pointed out that he didn't bother to rat out his former superiors to their respective enemies; he just packed up and left as an independent power.
    • That, and he wondered if there could have been mutual peace between the respective camps of his two sons Liu Shan and adopted one named Liu Feng, who was ordered to commit suicide for him having more positive influence over the inheritance of the Shu throne. He also still admits he did pull off some crocodile tears towards Liu Zhang when it came to Yi Province, but he still had to try and claim Shu by any means.
  • Liu Bei is rather surprised at the form of Mouri Motonari, who is far different from the lazy, yet level headed and scholarly man that Liu Bei remembers him as. This happened again with Toyotomi Hideyoshi and Date Masamune. While he is sorry that Hideyoshi is far darker, much like Motonari, he is pleased to find that Masamune does not and will never worship Orochi and is actually rather amiable. Mitsunari however, is not that different. Or perhaps is much worse (psychologically speaking) than his "cool-helmet-wearing" counterpart.
  • Had a VERY awkward reunion with his brother in law, Sun Ce. However, Ce assured him that he doesn't blame him for the actions that he took following the tragedy at Fan Castle, as had one of his siblings been lost, he probably would have gone on a Roaring Rampage of Revenge as well.
    • Then comes the fact that Sun Quan may be able to relate, since both him and Liu Bei have lost a lot of family up to the point of Yiling. Sun Jian may or may not feel very awkward about a large family of sworn-brothers and sisters-in-law. Though also on Sun Quan's case, Liu Bei started to weep a bit when he found out that Sun Quan's frequent losses of family may have possibly drove him insane out of grief historically....
      • He also hopes that both Sun Quan and Zhang Fei don't end up drinking together; taking into account the historical Sun Quan and the fictional Zhang Fei in tandem, Liu Bei has predicted destructively-disastrous results....and it seems his fellow brother-in-law Sun Ce could not agree more. Cao Cao himself however, also realizes even more disaster will occur if his middle son Cao Zhi (ANOTHER infamous drunkard) joins in....
  • Also apparently a master of distraction tactics. If he's really not in the mood to talk, all he has to do is point behind the one who talked to him and yell "LOOK, BAOZI FAIRY!" then run off. He gets creative at times and replaces his words with other things if 'Baozi' does not work.
    • Liu Bei wonders if it's his awkwardly subpar military record from his historical records catching up to him in terms of always having setbacks on his own (despite having a few other prior victories with other collaborations), especially when former Xu Province ruler Tao Qian (someone else who was as bad and fictionally-whitewashed as Liu Bei) used it against the creator of the tactic out of karma. Liu Xuande can only shrug and sigh.
  • Allegedly it was Guan Yu who taught Mami Tomoe the secret to keeping those impossible fabulous twin-corkscrew tails nice-and-curled even in combat. Mami has not remarked on said matter, but nonetheless states she is fond of Lord Guan as a scholar and a gentleman.
  • Guan Yu has been seen fighting side-by-side or having brawls with various deities like Hercules, Thor, Zeus. Guan Yu considered this a great honor, but it turns out that he didn't quite understand the concept of 'joke'. Upon further investigation, it was concluded that this was because according to his views, War Is Hell and to joke about it is to insult those who died in it.
    • He also accidentally triggered a change in Aphrodite, when he was protected with her Undying Love, and he in turn shares his Conviction to her, it removed an element of the Pandora's Box plaguing her. It didn't change much about her personality, but it let open to the Pantheon that she's a Broken Bird with insecurity issues. At the very least, Guan Yu is glad that such devilish element cannot threaten the Pantheon again, especially seeing how last time it ruined the Greek Pantheon until Kratos demolished everything.
    • That said, to differentiate from Kratos, Guan Yu may call himself the "Army God" instead of the "God of War", which is the literal translation of his moniker in many Asian accounts.
  • There was a lot of things that he did that was overhyped by one of the greatest novels in his land, which included the aforementioned beheading of Hua Xiong, passing through five gates, and a lot of overrated things. Guan Yu has made it clear that people should think twice before overhyping him, he's no perfect and virtuous man, he may be loyal and honorable, but he's also arrogant as claimed possibly in his historical self's records and even with his novel portrayal. His afterlife version has apparently learned his lessons.
    • Hilariously enough, Xiahou Dun, one of his rivals, can also relate to him since he too, is overhyped by a certain someone named Akihiro Suzuki...Guan Yu despite noticing Yuanrang's animosity towards him can easily relate and shrug at the whole matter.
    • As it turned out, he received reports that there was a misinformed realm that believed the reverse of that novel and almost changed the face of perception (that his historical self is horrible without any redeeming qualities). Guan Yu wanted to make sure that the misinformation end as quick as possible, but has taken his historical misdeeds into account such as stealing from Sun Quan's crops to feed his own new recruits at Fan Castle while also bad-mouthing his ambassador for Guan Yinping's hand in marriage to one of Sun Quan's other sons (having someone else touch his daughter is still a big no-no). He wishes most of his children can decide their own destinies and not to blindly follow in his own spotlight as with his aforementioned flaws.
  • One of his mortal friends is none other than Wei's Zhang Liao. However, Guan Yu prefers that no one mentions about how he's gay for him and calls him "Prince Wenyuan" lovingly. They are not like that, even if they have high respects to each other. He's a bit upset that he dropped his iconic gouliandao ("hook sickle blade") for a pair of axes, and wishes one day for him to pick it up again.
    • Also wonders if the same awkward thing may apply to his other friend Xu Huang (style name: Gongming)....he himself states that he wonders how the two of them are friends in the first place since Xu Huang was said to historically be a bit of an introverted workaholic...Zhang Liao had something to do with it perhaps? But it also helps in that Xu Huang's motif for the White Tiger is a foil to Guan Yu and Zhang Liao's Azure Dragon motif.
  • Guan Yu apparently keeps a copy of the famous Chunqiu Zuoshi AKA Zuo Chuan (Zuo Propagate), and they say it's his favorite book to read and study, though Guan Yu himself has said his historical self disagrees since part of his ambiguous historical records have stated he's not one to enjoy scholars. Lu Meng, another rival of his, has offered to be his study partner when the time comes since he compared to Xiahou Dun has had less personal beef towards Guan Yu.
  • Another notable aspect of Guan Yu? The Chinese people like giving him very big and intimidating titles. In 1614, the Wanli Emperor bestowed on Guan Yu the title "Holy Emperor Guan, the Great God Who Subdues Demons in the Three Worlds and Whose Awe Spreads Far and Moves Heaven". During the Qing dynasty, the Shunzhi Emperor gave Guan Yu the title of "Guan, the Loyal and Righteous God of War, the Holy Great Deity" in 1644. This title was expanded to "Guan the Holy Great Deity; God of War Manifesting Benevolence, Bravery and Prestige; Protector of the Country and Defender of the People; Prow and Honest Supporter of Peace and Reconciliation; Promoter of Morality, Loyalty and Righteousness", a total of 24 Chinese characters, by the mid-19th century. Guan Yu himself wishes he could just stick to one or just a few small titles.
  • His dragon motif is noted to be taken up a notch with his aforementioned Chinese title of Emperor Guan, with his weapons literally being named after the Azure Dragon, Yellow Dragon and God Dragon. This feeds into his rivalry with Xiahou Dun, who wields a kirin-themed scimitar.
  • Zhang Fei often visits the House of Food to indulge in his second favorite pastime after a battle, drinking. The cleanup fees were astronomical, at least until his daughter ascended, who being possibly the only person in any reality that can keep him from the booze, he's probably not going to have an easy time partying anymore.
  • Gets along well with Honda Tadakatsu, whom he fought alongside once. Their devotion to their lord, and their protectiveness of their respective daughters, provide ample connection to drink over. Of course, he felt a bit unnerved because apparently Tadakatsu... drinks oil this time around. He breathed easier when all of a sudden, the Tadakatsu he met has ascended.
  • There was a debate on how historically he committed one certain crime into his wife, Xiahou Ji. It was a great shame on Zhang Fei's side when learning that, but said wife assured him that she was eventually with him at her own consent (first time, not so much, history-wise anyway) and gave a lot of proofs on how said crime might not have happened at all (therefore, an inconclusive statement), starting from Liu Shan's acceptance of Xiahou Ba due to 'blood relations' and how they didn't have proper history department back in the days. After getting a report of Xingcai being harassed by people who were convinced that Zhang Fei's negatives were the truth, Zhang Fei decided to teach these group of people a lesson... and heck, even Xiahou Yuan, who was expected to be 'pissed off' about it, gave him support.
    • Or, it could've been that via how Xingcai acts, Xiahou Yuan's niece may have actually ended up making Zhang Fei a bit henpecked behind the scenes if Xingcai did indeed pick it up from her mother...
  • Takes pride in his snake lance, said to be over 13 feet long. There's a myth that he defeated a magical snake to obtain it. A few of his other stronger snake lances are the "Crushing Army", "Crushing Evil" and "Crushing Kingdom" Snake Lances. All of these seem to stem from the first one being named after one of the other names of the Alkaid star, so some Gods who are well-versed in astrology compare the incarnation of Zhang Fei before them to be not unlike the very northwestern star that brings bad luck and crushing defeat upon all armies, hunters and fighters alike. His pointy sticks' reputation is such that he has gotten the attention of fellow pointy stick-wielder Cu Chulainn, who is eager to see who is the mightiest of the two. Zhang Fei is as hot-blooded and eager to fight as Chulainn, so the two get along well despite this rivalry.
