Trope Pantheons Discussion

@Hamana - Just letting you know, Michael Myers has Slasher Movie and I don't think any other character, Jason included, can be a better example than The Shape himself.

That said, I'd be cool with Jason having Slasher Movie if there's a good trope for Michael to take.

Edited by CrimsonShark on Oct 30th 2021 at 4:52:39 PM

I actually did not know that. That said, Slasher Movie should have been given to Norman Bates since Psycho was the main influence and both Friday the 13th and Halloween are the codifiers, not the ones that created the genre in the first place.

Also, for Chris Walker, that's faso's profile and I'll need his input if he is okay replacing him.

Nah keep Chris. I think he can stay if i find something else.

Currently at 2 with the Twins. I'm done with them

Our Slashers Are Different is a trope you might want to consider

Anything else for these two?

• Annoyed by: The Halls of Ghosts, Fairies, Spiritual and Mental Powers, Balrog
• The world of Pokémon has a massive variety of the titular pocket monsters, and a fair few resemble good old homo sapiens. One of the first is the Machop line. It might be the purest representation of Fighting types; really strong physical brawlers, but poor in terms of their special stats. With its four arms Machamp can launch of flurry of 1000 punches in two seconds. It's said one arm alone can tip over dump trucks at worst, and mountains at best. Anything delicate, however, will just lead to Machamp tangling its arms.
• The bulky Machamp was once the high priest of Goro, but the Superpower Pokémon grew tired of being in his shadow and tried to wrestle his position of Multi-Armed and Dangerous away from one another. The Shokan Prince initially claimed Machamp was a rip-off, then complained at how Pokémon trainers kept mistaking him for a Machamp. These slights eventually boiled over into a full-on DEATH BATTLE!. Machamp managed to deliver a fatality, however it came at the cost of one of his arms. This was a good enough performance that he was rewarded the Hu Mons trope. Goro was relieved that Machamp used the Ability Capsule to get a different ability from Guts since that was the key to beating him, but having No Guard instead was a fair trade for the Fighting type.
• Exactly zero people were surprised that Machamp's favorite haunt in the Trope Pantheon is the House of Fighting and Combat. The Fighting type takes great pride in his biceps and is a passionate bodybuilder. When he's not there, he's out showing off his figure in the House of Personal Appearance. One of his favorite work-out partners there is Zarya for obvious reasons, which led to the rumor mill spreading the idea he has a crush on her. Machamp's response to this was "Machamp Machamp!^note translates to "no comment"" He's even asked to battle against Wammu, the biggest warrior of the Aztec gods of fitness. Wammu accepted, but was surprised since his control over wind puts the Pokemon at a disadvantage. Of course, this is what he was hoping for.
• There were a lot of famous martial artists, bodybuilders and strongmen which Machamp could pick as his partner. Machamp is a regular of the Hall of Martial Arts; Machamp is said to have mastered every martial art in the world, and among its fighting moves is a simultaneous volley of an uppercut, hook, straight and Karate Chop from its four arms. Bruce Lee and Fei-Hung were certainly tempting and he enjoys training with them, but ultimately he chose Chuck Norris as his partner. He could certainly do with learning a proper Roundhouse Kick, and his legendary reputation makes for an attractive partner. There might also be the fact Machamp holds out hope that Hitmonlee might ascend one day and be a perfect fit for Bruce Lee, but that seems more wishful thinking from the Superpower Pokémon to tangle with more Fighting types; not that he doesn't enjoy showing off against the ascended ones.
• Despite how incredibly masculine Machamp looks, his species has females and they look just like the male Machamp. Mock female Machamp for their appearance, and he will fling you across the horizon. Knuckles came to the Pokémon's defense as given his feminist leanings, he feels looks don't matter. That, and he's a skilled brawler himself, so he admires the Fighting type's strength. Machamp approves of his. He does wish he could catch up to Knuckles though, as he's rather poor when it comes to speed. Some in the Lust halls annoyed Machamp by hitting on him afterwards and asking him to be a wingman; apparently a guy dressed up as a Machamp to attract some chicks.
• Machamp doesn't outright hate dirty fighters, but being a Fighting type he doesn't look at them favorably and thinks Balrog brings shame to the sport of boxing. He's more often frustrated by his type weaknesses; without Odor Sleuth, Foresight or the Scrappy ability in effect he can't hit ghosts with pure muscle, and he's vulnerable to both Fairy and Psychic types, along with Flying. It's the first one that annoys him the most due to seeing them as unmanly. Within his own "type" Machamp is more than a little bothered by Saitama since he takes people out with just one punch, which makes him feel inadequate. He feels somewhat outclassed by Chun-Li, but this is only because she's a kicking specialist who reminds the bulky Fighting type that he's slacking on leg day; he enjoys learning more from her.
• He has a lot of respect for Superman and Goku, since they are both pillars of physical strength and virtue. That said he's closer to Bruce Banner, who's more in-keeping with the "brawn" side, though he and a number of Hulks are still smarter than Machamp. The Pokémon isn't going to lie that one of the reasons he's interested in the Hulk is the similar coloration to his shiny form.
• As a Machoke his species has to wear a champion belt as their muscles become so big that without a Power Limiter they'll burst. Whether Machamp still needs a Power Limiter or keeps it for the sake of decoration is unknown. Ramsay being Ramsay wants to cut off Machamp's skin to see the Pokemon's impressive musculature in full...and because it's his idea of a good time. Roose facepalmed because while he's curious, Machamp will kick their asses if Ramsay gets anywhere close. The Superpower Pokemon merely scoffed that he doesn't need them to prove he's absolutely ripped.
• When it comes to Pokémon villains, Machamp feels towards Hunter J and Ghetsis the same way almost every Pokémon in existence; with absolute contempt. Same rule applies to Rusty even if he's technically not an intentional villain. J and Ghetsis merely scoffed at this. But besides them and Ramsay, the Superpower Pokémon has it out for Father. He's well and above deserving of scorn, and Machamp's personal scorn is that he wants his strength to work in tandem with Sloth in order to create more giant alchemical symbols for his plans at achieving divinity. As much as he hated it Sloth was sent out to wrestle Machamp into submission. Unfortunately for the Fighting type, while they were comparable in strength Sloth was way too fast for him and he had to retreat through a cheap shot of a Bullet Punch.
• Should enough Dynamax energy surround him, Machamp will Gigantamax. The result is a yoked out, 82 foot tall behemoth even bigger than the biggest deities in the Hall of Giants and Smallfolk. That said, there are even humanoid deities like the Celestials who still dwarf it in size. The signature G-Max move will raise the chances of critical hits by itself and its allies, and can stack with other effects. It's heavily advised for everyone's safety not to leave LEGO anywhere near where Gigantamax Machamp is standing.
• No stranger to fighting tournaments, so expect him to make bank by starring in the House of Sports. Despite their opposing types, him and Incineroar are good friends outside of the ring. After all, every Face needs a good Heel and Machamp feels the tiger does a damn good job at it. Machamp has also been earning money through manual labor. One of his jobs was aiding Guts Man in moving construction materials. Given their super strength, the Robot Master admires the bodybuilder Pokémon's work ethic and hopes that can continue under his watch as foreman.

• Opposes: Rock, Ice (Zapdos), Lightning (Articuno and Moltres) and Fire (Articuno) deities
• The legendary birds of Kanto embody Ice Lightning and Fire and as such, usually spend their time secluded from many other deities but freely interact with other deities who share their abilities. Despite wanting to isolate themselves from other deities, Articuno's, Zapdos' and Moltres' temple leads to an island in the middle of nowhere that contains a snowy mountain, a grassy field and a volcano.
• Applies to the lot
  • The three aren't the only trio in their series with a Fire, Ice, Lightning dynamic, but they are the most powerful and famous. Unlike some legendaries they aren't a case of Single Specimen Species and since their squabbles don't cause environmental catastrophe they aren't the stronger Shamouti Island birds. Lugia still bosses them around as it feels it needs to make sure they behave, but Ho-oh treats them less condescendely and they like it more. The legendary trio are certainly more well-behaved than their Galarian cousins, who are a Psychic, Fighting and Dark/Flying trio and their power has gone to their heads.
  • There are several deities who the legendary birds refuse to interact with due to them using the element they represent for evil. For example, Zapdos refuses to interact with Eneru, Electro, Azula, and Emperor Palpatine and Moltres refuses to go near Ragnaros the Firelord and the Firebird. The legendary birds are also hesitant to go near deities who can control elements that the legendary birds are weak to, and they hate poachers like Hunter J who want them captive. Giovanni and Team Rocket count as their enemies Ever since that one time when they got fused together.
  • Ash was happy to see the legendary trio again, and as usual they get along with the Pokemon-loving Kid Hero. Charizard still boasts about the time Ash's beat Articuno, and how two of Ash's Kalos Pokemon were worthy opponents for the other two birds. Articuno snidely replied that Stealth Rocks will put the fire lizard out of commission, and Moltres responded in Pokémon Speak "same to you and me" before patting Charizard on the back. The bird trio have come to love challenging the Tao Trio, specifically the ones sharing the same type as them, as they soon noticed the three follow the same Fire, Ice, Lightning trinity.
  • They fear Chuggaaconroy since it was because of their captures that his legacy of capturing the other legendaries in normal Pokéballs began. His first attempts had him capture Articuno with only 2 Ultra Balls, Zapdos after going through 30 Ultra Balls then tossing a single Pokéball at it out of annoyance (he could be heard screaming, "YOU GOTTA BE KIDDING ME!" when that happened) and Moltres came about after Chugga gave a a sick burn on himself that Trollkaiger had an absolute laugh at. The second time was even more hectic, let's put it that way.
  • As Aang is the master of elements, the Legendary Birds feel they can safely hang out with him and request help in case the elements get out of whack. Given what happened to the Shamouti Island legendary birds the group fear they may need back-up in case Dr Eggman considers them a more reliable ancient power to control, especially as he's mostly overcome the whole "Evil Is Not a Toy" trope. Within their own 'verse, the birds get along more with Pokémon of the same type.
• Applies to Articuno
  • The Freeze Pokémon has the rare Ice/Flying type combination, as it appears to be based of the mythical roc (giant Arctic bird). It is rather empathetic, appearing to doomed people on icy mountains...all of which makes the creature a godsend for the House of Locations and Settings. Due to its generally friendly attitude, Articuno doesn't have many enemies outside its elemental weaknesses. The legendary has shown a market dislike for Pet Shop due to being a psychotic bird who uses their ice-based Stand to cause trouble. Because of how it helps people in terribly icy weather, House Stark can count on its aid. Sadly this has also caught the Night's King's attention and he wants to add the legendary to his zombie army.
  • Articuno feels a strange kinship with Akechi Mitsuhide as they were good friends with each other in an alternate reality where Pokémon battles took a very different turn. However it prefers Jack Frost as a partner, because of his status as the spirit of winter. They met whole Jack was trekking the mountain for personal solace. Thanks to Articuno's ability boosting evasion in a hailstorm, siding with Jack proves combatively useful as well.
  • Besides Jack, Articuno tends to be friendly in general with those who use ice powers in a positive manner. Queen Elsa is usually found in frigid environments and has from time to time been offered a ride on the legendary's back. They first flew to where Gray Fullbuster was training his body and ice powers, and the legendary decided to join in for fun. Articuno also enjoys hanging out with Cirno due to her being an ice fairy. It may sympathize with her Boisterous Weakling status due to having the worst defensive typing of the three birds^note weak to both of their types, double weak to Rock and also weak to Steel.
• Applies to Zapdos
  • The Electric Pokémon is said to appear from clouds while dropping enormous lightning bolts. It can freely control thunder and cause savage thunderstorms by flapping its glittering wings. Basically it's an avian version of Zeus or Thor, minus the former's notorious libido. Furthering the connection to the latter is its French name, Electhor. The former likes to flex by competing with and wielding the legendary's thunderbolts, while Thor compensates its lacking physically Electric movepool.
  • The Mob cheered to find the trio in the Pantheon, but were especially happy with Zapdos. Many gods were amazed at how the Mob somehow managed to keep the Master Ball and successfully capture Zapdos with it. Getting it out of the PC, on the other hand.... They did some good work in protecting the Electric-type legendary from Gigabolt Man-O-War who tried to suck the Pokémon dry for his fix...and supporting the Next Gen Reploid cause. Bender chooses to just leave Zapdos alone, because of a bad trip he had from electricity.
  • It has developed a strong bond with Mikoto Misaka and can frequently be seen sparring with her as her control over electricity is more than a match for Zapdos' lightning. In addition of the reasons it dislikes Enel is that the legendary was trying to look for a fellow Thunderbird, only to be tricked by the appearance of one of his attacks, the 30,000,000 Volt Hino.
• Applies to Moltres
  • The Fire Pokémon is a phoenix who's flap of its wings creates a dazzling flash of flames. It is said that its appearance indicates the coming of spring. Within the pantheon, the legendary can be seen flexing its pyrokinesis with Alexstrasza and Natsu Dragneel. If injured, it is said to dip its body in the molten magma of a volcano to burn and heal itself. As such it will crash into SCP-4338's domain and ask for a favor when hurt. The SCP Foundation tolerates this, but only because they confirmed beforehand that Moltres' presence wouldn't affect SCP-4338's current standing. It was bemused to hear there was another firebird in the pantheon, Litra, and it likes showing off to it.
  • While mastering her craft in the Hall of Fire and Heat, Moltres visited and the two decided to test each other out. Impressed by skills with a sword, the legendary decided to join up with the Hot-Eyed Hunter. Birds aren't exactly known for their swordsmanship, so she compliments its power. Ozai had wanted to make Moltres his partner instead, as he thinks the fire bird is a perfect symbol of the Fire Kingdom's power. Given its opposition to Azula Moltres wanted nothing to do with someone as utterly villainous as Ozai. That said, at least he wasn't SCP-457 who wanted to assimilate the legendary to its will by hijacking its flames.
  • As it flaps its flaming wings, even the night sky will turn red. It may not be as effective as Volcarona, but Moltres could theoretically serve as a second sun. Naturally the Grand Duke of Owls regards it as an unacceptable bringer of light, though this only includes the ascended Moltres; he's deeply amused by Galarian Moltres. Chanticleer reached out to the legendary to help out against the Grand Duke of Owls.

to Machamp and the Birdies. Also, I guess I could change Michael's trope to Our Slashers Are Different, given that it would provide a win-win. Michael would have to be moved to Fearsome Archetypes though.

A side note, but I think the (concept of them) Trope Codifier is more important than the Trope Maker by a slim margin, as I think that while the latter is definitely influential and is necessary, the former is what defines and sets up future examples. I'll stop here as that's a conversation for another thread.

Need one more approval for Sasuke.

Halloween is cancelled. Kali Ma Day is here to replace it

This is Halloween once again, where people often end up dressing up as other people, if they're not doing the classics, and even then one could end up looking like someone else already here.

You can see the following sights:

• As always, Jack Skellington is making preparations.
• Spooky is explicitly inviting people to her House of Jumpscares/Jumpscare Mansion.
• The Koopalings dress up as various Fire Emblem characters, ascended and otherwise, with Roy dressed up as his namesake.
• Starlight Glimmer dresses up as a certain D-List villain.
• Lumisa Kosugi dresses up as a certain whip-toting Phantom Thief who dressed up as her last year.
  • Her father Lemeza wanted to go out in a certain outfit, but was talked out of it, to everyone's relief. Instead he's dressed up as Dr. Jones when he's teaching in class.
• Mary takes her first step in learning the Hadoken; dressing like the guy most famous for it.
• A certain worm gets painted to look like another worm, and with glasses to boot.
• It's the Fall Guys! No, wait. They have visors over their eyes, and the arms are fake. They must be Impostors!
• The Slime Rancher gets Dressed to Heal, though her "model" isn't the most ethical of doctors.
• Creepers, but they're much smaller, rounder, and have a wind-up key on their backs.

There's no real reason why these characters dress up like this. It could've been some unnecessary elaborate prank of titanic proportions by powerful magic.

In theme to Halloween, here's a spoopy profile.

I don't know the first thing about Yapool, sorry.

• Pitied by/Pities:
• Opposed by/Opposes:
• Conflicting Opinion:
• For an Evil Overlord, when it comes to hiring help, it can be hard to find those competent enough. Or at least those who don't eventually intend to overthrow him. And thus one tends to be Surrounded by Idiots as a result.
• Dr. Wilhelm von Hell is a Mad Scientist with a desire to Take Over the World. Unfortunately, his lieutenants Baron Ashura and Count Brocken often bicker for his favor, often at the cost of whatever Mechanical Beast dispatched, and the Iron Mask and Iron Cross Armies weren't that brilliant either.
  • In terms of backstory, Dr. Hell was a German born to parents who would grow to reject him. He would be friendless even in school, being isolated by his intelligence, before meeting fellow to-be-scientists Juzo Kabuto and Yumiko Shiozai. He had his eyes on Yumiko, but she was already won over by Juzo. Hell grew jealous over both this and Kabuto's accomplishments, and eventually left them in disgust. He would join the Nazis in World War II as a field medic and weapon scientist. There he met Count Brocken and kept his war crimes a secret in exchange for financing for his projects. After the war, he became an archaeologist, and found a pair of bodies each broken on one side of their bodies (though one source claims he damaged them on purpose). He would fuse the intact halves into a single entity, and they would be named Baron Ashura.
  • In one of his later discoveries, Dr. Hell uncovered the island Bardos, but to find out if the legends he read about the island are true, he contacted other scientists, including Juzo Kabuto. But even when Juzo found out about Dr. Hell's plan, Hell forced the scientists to complete the Talos giants before having them all killed. Juzo was the only one to survive as he barely managed to escape. Dr. Hell would then awaken the Mechanical Beasts within the island and modify them before sending them out to conquer the world. His focus would eventually shift to Juzo after discovering his survival and Dr. Hell sent his forces to assassinate him. While this was mostly successful, he didn't count on one of his last creations Mazinger Z rearing its head, with Juzo's grandson Kouji at the controls. This would drive Hell into obsession to destroy/claim the giant robot as well as the Japanium ore in the Photoatomic Research Institute to build an unstoppable Mechanical Beast to take over the world.
  • After a few years of the same routine of sending and losing one (or two) Mechanical Beast(s) after the other, the Institute eventually decided enough was enough, found Dr. Hell's base, and sent Mazinger Z and allies to storm the fortress and put an end to Dr. Hell once and for all... only for him to come back much later as the Grand Marshal of Hell in the Mycenae Empire, and thus in opposition to Juzo Kabuto's son Kenzo, and by extension Tetsuya Tsurugi and his allies. They and Kouji would eventually take him out for good this time...
  • ...Until he somehow returned decades later during the events of Mazinger Z: Infinity, where he manages to rebuild and fortify his Mechanical Beasts in a fashion that even Great Mazinger cannot manage to defeat them (it didn't help that there were vital civilian structures in the area where Tetsuya was captured by them). His new goal would be to capture Infinity, a Mazinger-shaped mountain-sized machine found in Mount Fuji, and initiate Goragon, a universal reset in order to observe whether new potential worlds are worthy of existence. However, thanks to Kouji, the rescue of Tetsuya, their now-grown up brother Shiro piloting an Ichinana (a mass-produced Mazinger-shaped mecha), and the world uniting by sharing their Photonic Energy to Mazinger Z, they were able to destroy Infinity and Dr. Hell once and for all, for real this time.
• It was business as usual in the Pantheon when a titanic island-based mecha was sighted in space, striking SCP-2578-D from behind (given it was usually pointed at the Pantheon itself looking for fascists to shoot) before punching it out of course and into the Sun, though it managed to get a few shots in before being incinerated. The Death Star II barely fared any better, but took much more of a beating due to its size before suffering the same fate. It was only stopped from reaching the Pantheon itself because the Diamond Authority's temple planet was in the way, forcing their fleet and "Mega Diamond" to take him on first.
  • In response, thanks to Steven Universe visiting at the time, then calling for help, the entire GUAG Robot War Division First and Third Battlegroups sortied to assist. As soon as the fleet approached, battle was joined, but as soon as Mazinger Z (well, Mazinkaiser) showed up, the titanic mecha—who was in a standstill with the Mega Diamond and had already decimated the Gem fleet by the time the Battlegroups arrived—immediately turned its attention to him as a voice within shouted Kouji's name before going all out on the heroes (and atoning Diamonds).
  • Casualites were staggering, given Gordon Hell was meant for space conquest, but the likes of Neo Granzon, Voltron, Gurren Lagann, and timely aid from the Spear of Adun and Imperial Star Destroyers were able to keep Gordon Hell at bay until Mogo turned the tide by catching him with its beam and moving him straight into the Sun.
• Turns out this was all a ploy by the GUAE to ascend the base timeline Dr. Hell, which was done during the battle against Gordon Hell, having somehow "extracted" from the Dark Multiverse a Shin Mazinger ZERO!Dr. Hell who was successful in his conquest for this. As for why Dr. Hell fit the trope over all other possible candidates, it's because his attitude to the inteptitude of others not only applies to his subordinates, but to the entire world as well starting from his youth.
• As for how he is in the Pantheon, his base takes the form of Hell Castle, which used to be part of the Izu islands before he remodeled it in his image. Dr. Hell can also switch between his Grand Marshall and his "regular" human form at will. In terms of subordinates, only Baron Ashura, Count Brocken, and their Iron Masks and Iron Cross armies serve as his heralds. Viscount Pygman was excluded due to his betrayal, and because he was merely a high-ranking subordinate in Mycenae Empire, Archduke Gorgon wasn't included either.
• He wasn't pleased to needing to work under Melkor, but the Dark Lord providing him means to continually reproduce his Mechanical Beasts was a boon he couldn't ignore. And so one can add them to the giant threats the Pantheon faces regularly. And thus a lot of the Pantheon's mecha pilots and Kaiju that oppose them have another enemy to keep them busy.
• Due to his service in the Nazis before his tenure as an archaeologist, HYDRA contacted Dr. Hell for a collaboration. Having been further forced to accept aid, he decided to take them up on their offer. Upon getting a meeting with Red Skull in person though, he found that they were both poor and abused kids who grew up to be dangerous villains, so this alliance isn't that bad.
  • His time in the Nazis has also granted him acceptable interactions with Generalfeldmarschall Franz Vahlen, General Heinz Bohm, and Hauptsturmfuhrer Rudolf von Sturmgeist, who have all spearheaded German wonderweapons development during WWII just like him. There's also Lt. Col. Arnold Berkman, who was from an Alternate Timeline where Nazi Germany is instead a Germanian Empire, but nonetheless helped the Empire develop several wonderweapons to counter Eylstadt's White Witch Izetta, including a clone of the original White Witch Sophie.
  • Naturally, due to his association with these Nazis, he's also become the target of both Nazi hunters and Allied agents, such as The Basterds, Lt. Mike Powell, Lt. Karl Fairburne, and of course, William J. Blaskowicz. They may not pilot gint robots, but them getting tangled with his Iron Mask and Iron Cross forces is still problematic, especially during a Mechanical Beast attack kept busy by an allied mecha.
• Heard of a timeline where Akira Fudo/Devilman loses his faith in humanity and allows them to destroy themselves, and one where he personally wipes them all out (before unfortunately turning around). Intrigued by this, Dr. Hell is thinking he could try using this (as well as their connection in MazinSaga) to try (that's the key word here) to convert Akira to his side. For now though, he's an enemy due to his ties with Kouji.
• Used to be a follower of General Zod before becoming a Pantheon god, though as extremely proud villains they naturally don't get along; all they are are two separate members in the GUAE, Zod against superheroes, and Hell against Super Robot pilots.
• (Yapool)
• For reasons he couldn't quite understand, he's found himself with a rivalry in Dr. Eggman, who is an equally recurring mad scientist with a passion for extravagant robot designs. He doesn't think too highly of him however given how frequently he loses to someone without a giant robot, though Sonic and his cadre are counted as enemies as well.
• In one timeline, Autobots and Decepticons ended up getting entangled in his war against Mazinger Z. Baron Ashura once managed to trick the Autobots to fighting on their behalf, but ended up jumping the gun on betraying them and was eventually forced to retreat. And then the Decepticons showed up with offers to assist, but during the assault, Starscream stole spare Mazinger parts and decided to turn on everyone, forcing everybody to cooperate to stop him, and it ended with the Cybertronians teleporting away to where they came from. Dr. Hell loathes them all as a result.

First draft. Sorry it's mostly like Derek and Angie's profile. Not much variations on profiles with a hero surgeon.

Dr. Markus Vaughn and Dr. Valerie Blaylock, Co-Deities of the Socialization Bonus (Special Disease Counteraction Team, Team Caduceus | Markus: Mark | Valerie: Val)

• Potential House: Game Design
• s:

• Demideities
• Symbol: Two Healing Touch stars drawn in concert
• Theme Song: Operation Briefing (New Blood ver.)
• Alignment: Neutral Good
• Portfolio: Dressed to Heal, Two Types of Healing Touch (Markus's Can Slow Time's Flow All The Way To A Stop, Valerie's Can Stabilize Vitals), Passionate Valerie, Calm Markus, Co-Op Multiplayer, One Male And Two Females Counting Elena Salazar
  • Markus: Making Up For His Research's Involvement With Stigma, High Regard For Derek Stiles, Can't Follow Street Directions
  • Valerie: Ambiguously Brown, Renders Patients Made of Iron with her Healing Touch
• Domain(s): Doctors, Surgery, Cooperation
• Herald: Nurse Elena Salazar
• High Priests: Escavalier and Accelgor
• Allies: Dr. Derek Stiles and Nurse Angela Thompson (fellow Caduceus colleagues), most every benevolent doctor, nurse, and otherwise healer in the Pantheon (Dr. Black Jack, Florence Nightingale, Mordin Solus, SCP-2295, Osmosis Jones), Dr. Tenma, Navy Corpsmen James Broderick Sullivan and John Henry "Doc" Bradley
• Enemies: [[Health and Diseases Nurgle, those who advocate death, Facehuggers, Thrax, Typhus, Albert Wesker
• Oppose: The Medic, Nigel Burke
• Some games benefit significantly from having a second player cooperating with the first. Finding a (named) candidate was a challenge given how hard it is to truly define the trope of Socialization Bonus, and its previous representatives Escavalier and Accelgor weren't up to snuff. However, with the ascension of Derek Stiles and Angie Thompson opening the way for more representatives from the world of Trauma Center, another pair was found; the pair of surgeons who contended with and put a stop to the Stigma virus, Dr. Markus Vaughn and Dr. Valerie Baylock.
  • Their story began in Alaska at Montgomery Memorial Hospital, right after they treated a tourist who picked a fight with a grizzy bear and ended up with a gash on his chest, at least two broken bones in the right arm, and a lot of lost blood. Nothing they can't handle, by themsleves or together. The Call to Adventure, so to speak, came in the form of nurse Elena Salazar driving over with a patient in need of emergency treatment... as well as get a replacement pump unit implanted in her pancreas, since Markus did her first one seven years ago and it's starting to "expire". And then there is the matter of an artificial diseased called Stigma, which Markus apparently had a hand in, and which he and Valerie will end up facing as they transfer to Concordia Medical by Dr. Lloyd Wilkins, who possesses this disease. (Despite being a lot like GUILT, it has no connection with it) But when someone breaks in to steal the research data on Stigma and abduct Dr. Wilkins, Markus and Valerie then end up being recruited into Caduceus in response by its then-director Irene Quatro to further combat this disease, which is being actively spread by the organization Parnassus, led by Master Vakhushti a.k.a. Ray Kerensky, who had provided Markus with advice on Elena's transplant operation.
  • While Caduceus was looking for clues as to the whereabouts of the party spreading Stigma, Markus and Valerie performed all sorts of operations along the way. Turns out, the reason Markus was at Alaska in the first place was because of the guilt he had over witnessing the advent of Stigma, and being unable to stop Dr. Wilkins from wanting to unleash it to study its treatment. Eventually, the mastermind's hideout was found, and forces were dispatched to it, including Caduceus doctors (counting Val and Mark among them, to tie loose ends) in case of infection. They found the mastermind Master Vakhushti a.k.a. Ray Kerensky (who had managed to put Wilkins under mind control to release the virus), who wanted to spread Stigma in response to his government trying to assassinate him when he went home to treat refugees, and a strain of it was in his body. Once Markus and Valerie destroyed that strain (in case it might spread once he dies), his plot was finally halted for good because it turned out the Stigma was also holding his malignant diencephalic sclerosis at bay; with it gone, he expired. And with the crisis over, they could finally get back to regular surgery.
• What makes these two an optimal pick is that while a player can finish their game playing one doctor at a time, a second player is able to join in, with all the potential pitfalls, awesome moments, and hilarity it all entails, as well as a the satisfaction of an operation well done together.
• Their ascension to the Pantheon came in the form of Court envoys sent to Caduceus and requesting for the pair, incidentally some time after their invite to Derek Stiles and Angie Thompson. After a lengthy talk with the envoys, who were those two, it was decided that Markus and Valerie join their fellow Caduceus colleagues to their new assigned location: the Trope Pantheons. And there they were granted a temple in the House of Gaming.
• Applies to both:
  • As it is known, both doctors possess the Healing Touch; with Markus already having had his for a while now, and with Valerie (in the process of studying Markus's techniques) awakening to hers during an operation on a construction site victim beneath rubble. While Dr. Vaughn's is essentially like Dr. Stiles's (and its effect also extends to his partner), Dr. Blaylock's HT stabilizes the patient's vitals for a while no matter the damage dealt by bodily complications (whether internal or external) that can set in during an operation, and raising vitals a bit when the HT ends.
  • Naturally, just like with Derek and Angie, Markus and Valerie were first acquainted with the doctors in the House of Health and Diseases, starting with Black Jack himself, given Caduceus has a few shrines dedicated to him. They're amazed at his speed, and that it's all from his body, no mystical Healing Touch necessary.
    • While a nurse, they revere Florence Nightingale for revolutionizing the profession and making sanitation mandatory.
    • Their first big step towards accepting the strange was the salarian doctor Mordin Solus, who was additionally a proficient fighter to boot, given the criminal environment Shepard first found him operating at.
    • SCP-2295 was a massive curiosity, being able to replace organs and patch up skin with plushie materials and they somehow work like the real thing.
    • While the Medic's tech and speed of healing is revolutionary, his practices, mercenary career, and (lack of) ethics prove problematic for them to deal with, and neither of them have any patience for him, while Markus also woders how Derek can even tolerate the man.
    • Fran Madaraki is another they found unsettling due to her skewed anti-death morality, despite her unparalleled surgery skills, and because of the mutations she's made thanks to those skills. But her rules are relatively easy to follow to keep her sort-of under control. That said, when it comes to heart operations, she sometimes offers to "modify" either or both of them, though they always turn her down.
    • And then there's Nigel Burke, a ... disgrace to the profession, so much that Valerie wants his operations shut down, and Markus would help her. The fact that several of Nigel's patients have also been delivered to their (and Derek's) operating table make their opinions on Nigel that much firmer.
  • While most doctors usually have to be ready to do their job when disaster strikes and they're needed, Markus and Valerie are more alert about this than most, having had to do one roadside surgery, two separate operations on dogs, fix a hockey player's arm while they were watching the game he was in, work on injured soldiers while visiting a different country (including one liver transplant), work on a criminal in exchange for information amidst faulty lighting, removing a pump unit doubling as a kill switch on someone's heart, and so on.
  • Outside of the House of Health and Diseases, they were acquainted with Dr. Tenma, his skills as a neurosurgeon, his unending optimism, and his mission to stop Johan Liebert.
    • They were also acquainted with Navy Corpsmen Pacific Assault Squad member James Broderick Sullivan and Flag Raiser John Henry "Doc" Bradley, who have both treated battlefield casualties in the jungles and islands of the Pacific Theater. Markus and Valerie are no strangers to medical operations in a warzone, given their time at Culuruma.
    • And then there's SCP-049, who has a desire to "end the plague", but is oblivious to the fact that his actions aren't conducive, including his Touch of Death. 049 treats them with respect (and intrigue with their Healing Touches), but this is not reciprocated by either surgeon.
  • The operations they've had to perform in the Pantheon has led to enemies and allies as well.
    • There was one operation on a patient who was infected with Thrax, and he proved more challenging to deal with than even the Stigma strain Cardia since he's actually sapient. A timely arrival by Osmosis Jones helped turn the tide, though even when facing double the surgeons, Thrax managed to escape entirely, leaving a huge mess for the pair to fix.
    • Thanks to Derek's own operation on a recently "impregnated" Facehugger victim, Markus and Valerie have been added on the on-call list of surgeons who can save these normally lost causes. Needless to say, the Chest Bursters stood less of a chance when their victims are on their operating tables.
  • As was stated in Derek and Angie's profile, reality TV with real operations isn't tolerated by the ascended Caduceus staff. Markus and Valerie (she being the most vocal about this) were subject to participating in one such show called "Wish Come True: Miracle Surgery" when its hospital's director Dr. Leonardo Bello (who also has the Healing Touch) besmirched Caduceus' name, forcing the higher-ups to respond by sending the pair. When they did, they got shown up on live TV during their first two appearances. But when Stigma showed up in one of the patients in the show, and Dr. Bello proved unable to handle it, Mark and Val were on the scene, and not only did they manage to prove the seriousness in Caduceus's work and save the patient, they had the program shut down for good measure.
• Exclusive to Markus:
  • (other doctors whose research has been used to propagate viruses)
  • (dislikes mind-control, having had to remove a device that induces it from his mentor's brain)
• Exclusive to Valerie:
  • True, her Healing Touch is not as impressive as those of Derek, Markus, and (unascended) Nozomi, but stabilizing
  • (Val does have some emotional outbursts)
  • (occasionally fails spot checks)
  • (pity to those who have had kill-switches in them, given that's what her friend Cynthia Kazakov had)

Yeah, I don't think Zod would be part of the GUAE as you've stated in Doctor Hell's profile, given that his main priority is to defend Kryptonian survivors and establish a new community for them, even if his methods and perspectives can be ve very myopic and disproportionate. Also, he opposes those who destroy planets for a living.

Nominations, per usual.

• Jay Garrick and Alan Scott - The Golden Age of Comic Books
  • Jay Garrick and Alan Scott were the very first iterations of The Flash and Green Lantern respectively, having debuted in 1940, and hence, their powers were shown to be very distinctive compared to other heroes around that time. They are also prototypical versions of a character moniker whom they would inspire and who would popularize it in the Silver Age. Interestingly, DC Comics acknowledges Alan and Jay as important Legacy Characters and tend to be featured on rare and/or special occasions in comic storylines and to pay homage to the old times, given that they reside in Earth 2, rather than on Earth 1, where the rest of the other notable Flashes and Green Lanterns reside in.
• The Earth Science Club - Stargazing Scene
  • This series is filled with astronomical concepts, references, and thoughts, which makes sense as Asteroid in Love has astronomy as a primary theme. Hence, scenes involving the girls watching the skies during the night and gazing upon the stars tend to pop up occasionally but are impactful to the plot due to the nature and focus of the setting, and they sometimes can be reflective of the main characters' thoughts and what they are going through.
• Ruben - Dream-Crushing Handicap
  • Ruben is a Heavy Metal drummer who enjoys his profession, when suddenly, he starts to become deaf, followed by an extreme despondency over not being able to hear or experience the feeling and intensity of drumming. This plays a major impact on Ruben's character as throughout the narrative, he wants to regain the ability to hear and recapture the feeling of playing drums, though this sadly never turns up as by the time Ruben gains hearing implants, it only allows him to hear a distorted version of what he originally heard when he was fine, and due to his Character Development of working in a hearing handicap facility, chooses to embrace the silence, presumably leaving behind his dream of drumming for a band forever.

for all three.

@Crimson and faso: for your profile and ideas.

@Hamana: Jason for Implacable Man in my opinion.

Why not make a profile for the Justice Society for The Golden Ageof Comic Books? Or maybe Old Superhero if you still one to use Golden version of Flash and GL.

Sorry, but no. I'm intending to only go with Jay and Alan for this. Those two are the only ones in the Justice Society to have a strong influence throughout the DC Narrative in regards to its mythos and themselves are constant references to the Golden Age, and adding the other members of the Justice Society would end up being filler compared to Jay and Alan, in addition to putting too much bloat in the content side of things.

And also, Old Superhero can be given to someone else, I think.

Sure to Decapitation Presentation. Walker be rippin' 'em And Show It to You .

Edited by CrimsonShark on Oct 31st 2021 at 3:06:16 PM

I think i found two potential alts for Chris Walker.

Decapitation Presentation or Human Head on the Wall. This ties with Chris' MO of ripping the head clean off his victims and also keeps the murdered victims' heads stashed both in his home and in the asylum

Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy have Old Superhero.

Edited by yugi195 on Oct 31st 2021 at 3:31:16 PM

Regarding Norman, the song is too infamous for him to not have it as his trope.

I guess it is in agreement then, Jason gets Implaceable Man. What happens to Hockey Mask and Chainsaw though, in terms of incorporating a trope to a potential candidate (or like what faso said, the entire thing with Kamehame Hadoken with Goku and Ryu).

Posting the drafts of these two for feedback. (I am still trying to incorporate Vanitas into the Babadook or at least trying to find out how to do such)

DOOK

The Babadook, The Monster That Thrives in the Mind (Mister Babadook)

• Unknown Rank.
• Symbol: Itself, smiling.
• Alignment: Chaotic Evil
• Portfolio: A shadowy being that cannot be killed by any means, came from a children's popup book, has the body or Orlok and the face of Cesare, has fanged fingers for hands, possesses its victims, the personification of Amelia's guilt and depression, sealed in the basement thanks to a line in the book
• Domains: Entities, Possession, Manifestations, Grief, Shadows
• Similar Beings: Pennywise the Dancing Clown, the Perfect Trumpet Thingy
• Intrigued by: Count Orlok, Cesare
• Avoided by: The House of Despondency and the House of Family and Relatives
• Enemies:
• The shadows are a terrifying sight and the symbolism as well as the horror of looking at a black background with the thoughts of terror can make even the most staunch person shriek in terror. This was the case of a windowed mother Amelia and her son Samuel as she has an exhausting life trying to take care of her son's mental disorder and her still continued sadness towards her beloved's death. Her son builds traps in his room due to his fear of monsters under the bed and leaves her in a constant tired state. Her best way to calm him down is reading him a story but that all changed when a book suddenly appeared right in front of their doorstep, titled "Mister Babadook". The story tells of a seemingly friendly monster that wants to befriend the reader, inviting them through a few footsteps and a knock on the door, after which the monster takes off the disguise and wish the person was dead. Needless to say, Sam was convinced the monster was real and Amelia, desperate to calm the senses of her son, ripped it off, until it came back, with a new story and a new purpose: to haunt her and her son.
  "If it's in a word or it's in a look...You can't get rid of the Babadook."
  • The haunting of both Amelia and Sam would continue and finally lead to the duo's isolation, giving the entity the chance to strike them at their weakest. Amelia's possession and the killing of their dog would accomplish two-thirds of the story but thanks to Sam's traps in his room, he evaded death and gave enough emotion for his mom to return, only for the eponymous Babadook to form out of the shadows into a familiar figure, her husband Oskar, wanting to see his child once more. The sight of her once beloved angered her to the point of weakening the monster and eventually lost control. What remains of the monster now resides in their basement, unable to leave their presence. As the saying goes, "If it's in a word or it's in a look...You can't get rid of the Babadook".
• The House of Emotion's natural expansion came with it a slew of problems the Pantheon was forced to fix in several weeks. While the new Houses that branched off did well in the eventual splitting, another issue arose that some emotional entities were able to breach the Pantheon and were on the loose. The Guardians of the House did all they could to capture these beings, however a few snuck in with ease. Deep in the annals of the House of Despondency, the House's own contemporary buildings allowed it to hide underneath Pantheon security, though it was not long till someone, rumors indicate it was the Knight of Despair or Alma Wade, sensed a being of shadow hiding within the buildings. It was then found within Isaac's temple, waiting for the time to possess the poor child and was caught though it took some time considering the nature of the entity. The being, called as Mister Babadook, was about to be kicked out until the Court noticed how it managed to enter Isaac's temple, through his mind. Seeing that few entities are natural to someone's own thoughts, they decided to keep the Babadook, this time under a new habitat under the House of Otherness, appropriate for the type of monster it is.
• Very few have witnessed the Babadook, but those who have the sense of grief and depression, especially by the loss of their own love might encounter it. The story of Amelia and Sam's details regarding the creature has been one of the talks in the House of Emotion back in the day though it eventually faded into obscurity following new events, leading some to speculate if it was even real. That was until the creature was caught, or rather lured, as the Babadook's nature of a mental being makes it hard to comprehend or even grasp what is its true form. The figure described in the events may or may not be only exclusive to Amelia's recounting of the events, so in essence, the Babadook may not even have a true form at all.
• When the figure was first seen, it had a tall, hunched appearance with pale skin, paired with extremely sharp fingers almost resembling claws alongside with it the glimpse of its "face": skinny, pale-looking and with hollow-blackened eyes. The Pantheon's news caught wind of this and made the report, some of the readers almost identified the figure to be similar to two of its direct inspirations: Count Orlok and Cesare. The two were shocked to see a mental being able to nearly mimic two of their distinct features and combine both into one appearance. Those who have seen the story of Francis can attest that Cesare and the Babadook might be one in the same by looks.
• The nature of how the Babadook appeared in the grieving mother's life has made some deities scared of it especially if one resides either within the House of Despondency or Family and Relatives. It actively revels in both, especially by those who lost their own respective loved ones, going by Amelia's testimony. Theoretically, it could manifest in other forms of depression or guilt and not exclusive to family loss, meaning it can terrorize other deities that are beyond those two Houses. The former is where it usually resides, often coming out in the minds of certain deities that have a history of grief. Unfortunately for them, even if they were to get rid of their source of it and move on, the Babadook remains, a compelling reaction that shows that it is a representation of the emotion of grief, showing how one's sorrow will still be felt even as they move on in their life.
• The idea of a monster formed by one's own mind is an uncommon concept as some deities have experiences of seeing their emotions manifest into a physical state though the number of deities that experienced such are very few. Courage the Cowardly Dog is afraid of it, or rather the concept of which the Babadook operates. It does remind him of an entity similar to it, the Perfect Trumpet Thingy, which was a symbol of Courage's inability to become perfect and is the closest to the Babadook in terms of form, only the Trumpet Thingy helped him in the course of its existence, unlike the Babadook which actively haunted its victims. In a similar vain related to grief, Pennywise is another entity that torments his victims and finds the Babadook's story to be interesting though disappointing. While it is true that the two feed on fear and the like, the Babadook does not have a true form so IT cannot gauge whether the entity is powerful, compared to the clown's actual form of a spider.

Alma Wade, She Who Became A Monster From Her Past (Mother)

• Greater Goddess, Overdeity on the Almaverse
• Symbol: Her face and hair.
• Theme Song: Alma's Music Box
• Alignment: Chaotic Evil
• Portfolio: A child that was heavily experimented on for years and got her revenge after being released from her prison, posesses psychic powers and uses it against everything, unable to control her emotions due to her lack of temper, can turn others crazy, can create creatures but cannot control them, died in an amniotic fluid-filled vault and still lived, shifts into three forms: maiden, crone and seductress
• Domains: Death, Revenge, Destruction, Ghost Girls, Psychic Powers
• Special Relations: The Point Man (her son)
• Allies: Her sisters namely: Hisako and Yamamura Sadako and Samantha Maxis, Erma Williams also counts
  • Applauded by: Most of the House of Hatred and Rancor and Slaughter
• Rival: Kayako Saeki
• Source of Interest: The Ghostbusters (researching her abilities), Khorne, Atrocitus (recruitment to their respective factions), Frisk, Wander (attempts to pacify her)
• Enemies: The Survivor Crew, but most especially Edward Richtofen, Johan Liebert, Clockwork, Danny Phantom
• Feared by: Isaac Clarke
  • Fears: The Slenderman
• In the wake of a national security threat by an unrestrained psychic by the name of Paxton Fettel, a First Encounter Assault Recon squad was sent to deal with the situation at first hand. The mission seemed easy but strange visions of a little girl in a red dress appeared as they went closer to their target and a F.E.A.R squad's death occurred without a trace. Soon, the target was not only on the psychic, but the history regarding the company known as Armacham Technology Corporation, Project Origin and the little girl that haunted the corporation would be revealed. This was the story of Alma Wade, the daughter of esteemed researcher Harlan Wade who experimented on her when she was three years old. Her father's discovery of her psychic powers, which manifested through negative emotions from surrounding people near her, gave way for him to introduce her to Armacham Technology Corporation and would undergo a series of psychic-related projects, each project denying her childhood and eventually her free life. It was not until the age of seven where she would be a part of Project Origin, a project to create psychic individuals from a forebearer of similar structure and would be the turning point of her life. In the project's lifespan, two offspring were created and both were taken by Armacham for further experimentation but one of which created the first Synchronicity Event, resulting in her life-support being pulled out and sealing her in a vault with amniotic fluid. Unfortunately for the members of Project Origin, death did not stop Alma from seeking revenge.
  • After years of ignorance, the new CEO of Armacham decided to reopen the Origin facility where the girl's dead spirit lingers. After two failed searches, the facility was sealed but Alma's powers were reawakened and communicates with psychic Paxton Fettel, creating a second Synchronicity Event. The chain of events to discover the girl's remains eventually resulted to her release and with it, her hatred against the world for robbing her life. The world would soon change into an apocalyptic landscape, and so did Alma's remaining sanity. In the end, there was only one thing the girl dedicated her life on, rage.

Artificial Family Member, Bugs Herald Evil, and Flies Equals Evil.

All three are open, but which one would be best for Bela, Cassandra and Daniela Dimitrescu?

The three were originally human maidens, until Alcina Dimitrescu subjected them to the Cadou parasite. Bloatflies consumed their bodies, and combined to create new ones in their place.

I wonder how the Pantheon would feel about having Lady D's kids running rampant...

Edited by RokuAlhazared on Oct 31st 2021 at 11:47:20 AM

I think Flies Equals Evil, personally.

As for why I'm here, it's to present this. How does this look:

Asimov, God of Super Supremacy (Takefusu, Demerzel, Sumeragi's AI)

^{Click here to see him with his Septima active.} 

^{Click here to see his true form as Demerzel.} 

• Possible House: Categorism
• Rank: Intermediate God (Greater God in Luminous Avenger iX)
• Symbol: The QUILL symbol
• Theme Song: The Collision of Thunderstorms, Thunderstorm
• Alignment: Appears as Chaotic Good, but is actually Neutral Evil.
• Domains: Electricity, Terrorism, Supremacy, Psychics, Betrayal.
• Portfolio: Super Supremacist, Rebel Leader, Evil Mentor, Affably Evil, Evil Running Good, Wearing Cool Shades as a Power Limiter, White Hair, Black Heart, Being The Second Azure Striker, Expressing Pride For One's Opponents, Being Gunvolt's Final Foe, Walking Spoiler.
  • As Demerzel: Ax-Crazy, Succeeding In His Goal, Elemental Embodiment of Lightning, Faux Affably Evil, Jumping Off the Slippery Slope, Not-So-Well-Intentioned Extremist, Psycho Electro, Sanity Slippage, Sociopathy.
• Allies: Sun Li, Eneru, Elpizo
• Enemies: All other ascended Azure Striker Gunvolt deities, but especially Copen, Nova and Blade
• Rivals: Ghetsis Harmonia
• Opposes: Amon
• Opposed by: Gunvolt, Toriel, Thor, N.
• 20 Minutes into the Future, a psychic power known as Septima began to develop in certain humans, known as Adepts. What followed was chaos, as society began to collapse, and as a result, these beings called Adepts became feared and hated by the regular human populace. An attempted remedy of the Adept problem was brought about by the Sumeragi Group, who behind closed doors, partook in cruel experiments with the Adepts as their subjects. Led by Asimov, the resistance group known as QUILL works to take down Sumeragi by any means necessary.
• Of course, this was a front for Asimov's true goals. He sought not equality for Adepts, but supremacy, and the eradication of humans. To this end, he had Gunvolt do the heavy lifting for him, only to reveal his plans after Nova had been taken down. Wishing for his former ally to help him spearhead the Adept uprising, he kills him when the latter refuses, only for Gunvolt to be revived by the power of the Anthem and face him again, this time emerging victorious.
• His ascension happened after his demise at the end of the first Azure Striker Gunvolt. Being unambiguously dead, he found himself confused when he suddenly found himself in the House of Life and Vitality. It was explained to him that he had ascended as the God of Super Supremacy, something that he felt happy about, feeling it gave him precedent to continue his oppression of Muggles.
• As a result of the above, he and Gunvolt are currently not on very good terms. While Asimov does not hate Gunvolt outright, he has proven willing to throw away whatever bond they had before the ending of the first game and kill Gunvolt. On Gunvolt's part, he was horrified to hear that Asimov had ascended, and is keeping tabs on him in case he attempts to restart a variant of his Adept uprising in the pantheon. He was not very pleased to learn of the events of Luminous Avenger iX, and is doing all in his power to prevent such a thing from happening here.
• It is worth noting that he and Gunvolt have something of a shared history, both being the sole successful products of the inhumane Project Gunvolt, where they were given their ultra-powerful Azure Striker Septima. Asimov is actually responsible for rescuing Gunvolt from Sumeragi, as well as teaching him to harness his Septima, causing the latter to see him as something of a father-figure - which would end tragically.
• His relationship with Gunvolt's rival, Copen, is much more reciprocally negative, due to Copen being a human and Asimov having defeated him and stolen his gun. This animosity is escalated tenfold whenever Copen is in 'Luminous Avenger iX' mode, where he took on Sumeragi, now led by Asimov, and became the latter's nemesis in Gunvolt's stead.
• As a fellow villainous father-figure, it didn't take long for him to find a kindred spirit in Ghetsis Harmonia Gropius, though their contrasting goals for humanity do sometimes lead to disagreements. That is, Ghetsis wishes to conquer it, while Asimov would rather destroy it. Nevertheless, they aren't on terms that can be described as completely friendly or unfriendly, which naturally worries both Gunvolt and N.
• On that note, he also admires Sun Li, who technically doesn't count as a muggle due to being one of the greater players in the game he is from. The two get along, being father-like Evil Mentors, and he seeks to become a Magnificent Bastard on his level, feeling it would help his plans go off much more hitchlessly.
• His actions have earned the scorn of Toriel, who despises him for his willingness to harm his own 'child'. They mostly avoid each other, Asimov out of apathy, and Toriel because she recognises putting herself on his radar to be an ill-advised move.
• He and Eneru get along quite well, the two of them frequently comparing their capacity for the lightning element, all in good fun. His Luminous Avenger iX incarnation goes toe-to-toe with the 200-Million Volt Eneru, with the two being said to be rather evenly matched. This incarnation of Asimov considers himself to be a God of Thunder, which puts him at blows with Thor, the actual bearer of this title.
• Being an icon of Muggle Power, in what seems to be a similar vein to Copen, Asimov is strongly opposed to Amon, seeing him as one of the greatest obstacles to his muggle-free world. The feeling is mutual, but became greater on Asimov's end once he learned that Amon wasn't even a non-bender in the first place. He now sees him as little more than a confused hypocrite.
• Due to misunderstandings, the House of Machinery and Technology once awaited his arrival, only to soon discover that he was nothing like the Father of Robotics, and was in fact a very evil man who was completely apathetic to his cause. At the very least, this earned him the support of most of the evil deities in the House, particularly Metallix, if only for the 'Kill All Humans' aspect of his plan.

I took a wrong turn with you somewhere... I'm sorry for that. But you've made your position clear. I'm on one side of this line... and you're on the other! You see, you're not the only Azure Striker. You were just the strongest... until now.

Before anyone tries to "bottom post" let me make a few statements.

@RE 8 siblings for the idea. The idea feels like its a "post-hype" idea and an example of recency bias that we should start looking at. Like Flies Equals Evil could have been used for Lord of the Flies as a better example.

Also, I'd like some feedback to the drafts above so that me posting my drafts doesn't feel like a waste of effort.
