Trope Pantheon Story thread

My last post was at the near end of the page, so I'm posting again here.

I got a scenario for part of a story. I know this should go to the story thread, but it's too quiet there. Here's the scene.

Should Makoto fight the Courier? How long if so? She still needs to come out in fighting condition. Can she negotiate with them? Will the Courier allow her to come with (as a companion or as a tail)?

Note:

1. Blurting out intentions mid-battle doesn't sound to me as in-character for Makoto. (If anything, that seems to be more likely from Ryuji but he's not in the scene, so…)
2. The story in which this scenario takes place is right here, in case you wish to know more.

Perhaps Makoto could just come out and try to convince the Courier that she's going to meet with the person the Courier's going to and just so happened to take the same path or something and that she means no ill will. I don’t think they have any evidence to suspect that her and the target are enemies.

Question: I've been seeing mention of a Toontown war on certain pages for some time now. Has that ever been resolved? And on a similar note, should the Cartoon Network deities still be hostile towards Spongebob and Patrick when they've managed to redeem themselves within the Pantheon?

No, that should be removed. It was a stupid interaction because some tropers didn't like Spongebob

@Crownless: I doubt the Courier would fall for that. Remember, in this scenario, they've already noticed Makoto follow them for quite a while now, and I think Makoto would know this.

Are the members of Team Rainbow Rocket the ascended characters, alternate versions, or both since the Pantheon considers alt versions the same character unless the specific alt is ascended separately? I ask here because Anime Serena's suggests we have plans for Rainbow Rocket in the Pantheons narrative?

The members of Team Rainbow Rocket appearing in Rainbow Rivalries will be the Ascended members (Giovanni, Cyrus, Ghetsis and Lysandre) along with several other characters originally not part of the team who were brought in under certain promises.

Their group is listed at the bottom of the page.

Are Maxie And Archie, who recently ascended, considered members? It sounds like they are the versions who didn't join, but all the canon members are alternate selfs (except maybe Giovanni who's never specified as far as I know, but his having Mewtwo argues for being alt), so?

Will they be added if we decide a place for them?

If they did join it would only be if they’re brainwashed. Otherwise Maxie and Archie’s ascension takes place after the events of Rainbow Rivalries and thus aren’t considered viable members. Plus they’ve reformed as it is...

That being said, if they're in their RSE forms then they'd probably join.

So it's been a while since anyone has written a post on here, but I want to stop by to suggest a future story idea to you all and hear what you all think of it.

The idea is based around who should earn the title of God/Goddess of K-Pop, and this would result in a massive competition in the House of Theatre, where K-Pop groups both past and present all vying for the title. Groups featured would include BTS, LOONA, MOMOLAND, Red Velvet, Super Junior, Orange Caramel, Big Bang, Girls Generation, TWICE, EXO and several others.

All go in, but only one will come out on top. Who will win?

Where's BLACKPINK?

They can join too. Gotta find a balance between the boy and girl groups.

Idea for a scenario: Izaya Orihara suddenly resigns from the Trollkaiger. It isn't until the rest find out that he's been snitching on them the entire time, sending secret messages to the GUAG about their whereabouts and operations for shits and giggles.

(To further piss them off, in his resignation letter that he's planning to give his title to Junko, or a LOL Ranger member. He's joking, but still.)

Cue the Trollkaiger in hot pursuit.

Reasons: 1. In Durarara, Izaya has also helped out the protagonists (save for Shizuo) as much as he screws them over. He's in no one's side but himself. He would play the GUAE and -G, selling information to both sides. 2. He isn't as monstrous as Terumi, Bernkastel, and Basco. He might even be the only person in the whole group that never kills, compared to everyone else's body counts.

P.S. I've accepted that Junko might never be a TK once again, and I've cooled off my monomania about her. I'm sorry for all the annoyance I've caused back then. But I just thought of this since it's in-character for Izaya to do these things.

That might have to happen after Muppets in the Pantheon, another story idea with the Trollkaiger in it.

I believed the Trollkaigers should kick out non-Complete Monsters like Izaya and Handsome Jack cuz they didn't reach enough heinousness to their standards in their team.

This has been posted without M1gami Tensei's permission. Apologies in advance.

Wait... The Pantheonic Rebellion isn't actually done yet?!

Also, for survivors, besides those who can escape in other dimensions (and close off their portals before the lights can cross them), I have Kirby and Reimu Hakurei on the top of my wish list.

Edited by nightelf37 on Nov 6th 2018 at 3:08:45 AM

Yeah... Pantheonic Rebellion as far as I know hasn’t even begun. I’m sick and tired of waiting for a war that will never come, so I proposed as way to get rid of the thing entirely.

Since this will be an adaption, Kirby would obviously survive. I would also mention that if I remember correctly was reportedly the only cutscene of the story mode unfortunately so likely no major reveals, there really is an unexplained army of Master Hands.

For Reimu, she will likely survive the initial lazer blasts ig she doesn’t get hit once but Galeem nukes the universe, can’t dodge that. I think those who survived are either within in different dimensions by the time the invasion happens (Phantom Thieves frequent dimensions the most out of any Persona user) or can go through dimensions themselves (like Rick Sanchez, I wanna kill off Morty to give an excuse so Rick could stay). For those who can’t survive the blast, likely other dimension travellers would teleport them away to somewhere safe, I’d say Yen Sid’s tower as it lies in another dimension.

I know this may sound like hype but like I mentioned before, the only story cutscene is that initial one we saw (unless Sakurai lies but we know he ain’t after having problems with Subspace). Galeem will likely be explained through trophy-Spirit descriptions but I don’t think we need Adaptional Expansion since that thing probably doesn’t talk.

Oh no. It's just that in some of pur stories (Tales of Life: Episode 7: Shattered Illusion for me, and the Through Darkness and Mirrors arc) take place after the Pantheonic Rebellion, but before any of the Phantom Thieves of Hearts ascended (as well as anybody else in between). Me, Camilla, and a few others will need to retcon our tales to account for that.

The Rebellion, due to it being written when only IV Lucifer was out, is only made more complicated by IV's Lucifer being Half of Satan and SJ Lucifer being much more benign but still ambiguous being than what the Rebellion portrays.

That's easy to shift because I Vs Lucifer is meant to be a scapegoat to make His side look better. So the entire rebellion would, ironically, be YHV Hs scheme all along.

Which is what goes down in a story that takes place after it.

But is the Pantheonic Rebellion actually completed because it sounds like we skipped the story and only have the aftermath

May I suggest something for the survivors?

For the survivors, why not have one representative for each of the media formats found on TV Tropes itself; Literature, Video Games, Anime & Manga, Western Animation etc.

Now Kirby would represent Video Games, obviously but for some of the picks for the other genres I have the following.

Anime & Manga: Bulma

Advertising: Trix Rabbit

Comic Books: Deadpool

Animated Films: The Iron Giant

Literature: Arya Stark

Live-Action TV: Sheldon Cooper

Toys: Toa Jaller

Web Animation: Michael J. Caboose

Western Animation: Avatar Aang

Theatre: Macbeth

I think it would make more sense for the Doctor to be the Live Action survivor. But I disagree with your whole idea anyway. Sorry.

Well different strokes for different blokes.

I don’t think survivors should be picked to represent a genre, I want the survivors to be those who can escape Galeem’s nuclear laser attack or people who are saved from disintegration by those same peopl.

The prologue of the story would be that a giant temporal anomoly is in front of the Main House (a cliff is somehow present) and since Fuse wrecked the Pantheon, all Alliances go there to check it out. It’s a good way to eliminate combatants while displaying most of the Pantheon’s deities. People like Yukari Yukumo and Bruno Buccialati are likely to survive due to opening dimensional portals and I want some of the Phantom Thieves to be in the Metaverse then as to not be directly affected by the eventual nuke (also to include the Phantom Thieves in a major story for the first time)

Edited by M1gamiTensei on Nov 7th 2018 at 2:37:52 AM

Well, for a start, I'm guessing not all of the Phantoms will be among the survivors. Either Ren, Morgana, or Makoto (or any combination thereof) must survive, though. And possibly Akechi for extra drama and tension.

But who else should be a survivor?
