Trope Pantheons/The Fallen

Even Gods suffer ignoble fates. Though many still maintain some level of pride, in many cases it has been chiseled away here through bad character development and their use as the Worf one too many times. Never forget many of these were once much greater than the position they have been forced to stoop to. Some even manage to claw their way out of it, but these are their descriptions of when they were at that low point.

Some of the Fallen were tried in the Court of the Gods and cast out, a ceremony that is rather less humiliating than the one given to the Disgraced. Others were caused to fall. All of them walked out on their own steam, heads low. They're allowed to go back into the Pantheon proper, but none of them stay until they have redeemed themselves. They have one point of pride- they're not as bad as The Disgraces.

One day, they will have their Revenge. Also, they can't get up.

The Fallen, Patron of all Fallen Gods and God of Lucifer metaphors (Megatronus Prime)
 * Lesser God
 * Symbol: A stylized version of his own head as it appears in universal stream designate Primax
 * Alignment: Lawful Evil
 * Portfolio: Those who are on Fire, Transformation, Betrayal, being All There in the Manual
 * Domains: Chaos, Destruction, Entropy, Mechanus
 * Followers: (in the live-action continuity only)
 * A devout follower of Unicron, having fallen from the service of Primus
 * Used to be God of Entropy, until got a bit distracted by his new master.
 * Would also fit in nicely in the Villains pantheon, but with a name like his, he is placed here for the sake of convenient filing.
 * Despite what others may tell you, he's been Unicron's minion all along. In all continuities. During The Transformers: The Movie he was...out shopping for...lychees.
 * Chance of Redemption: Will be redeemed if he: A. renounces Unicron and returns to the service of Primus, B. Manages to successfully kill an Optimus Prime or C. When he is the only one left in the Fallen, and thus there is nobody for him to to be Patron of.

Gabranth, Hell's Watchdog (The EXecutioner, The Judge, Noah fon Ronsenberg)
 * Quasideity
 * Symbol: His helmet
 * Alignment: Lawful Neutral
 * Porfolio: Dual-Wielding, Armor, Evil Twins, Sudden Bursts of Power, Warriors possessing Speed and Power, Unwavering Loyalty, Hatred, Acting as Judge, Jury, and Executioner
 * Domains: Judgment, Loyalty, Law
 * Followers: None, even those who wish to follow him are turned away.
 * Not actually a member of the House of the Fallen itself, he was appointed to guard the gates of the House by Chaos. Anyone who tries to return to their seat without earning redemption deals with him. Or rather, he deals with them.
 * Chance of Redemption: Unneeded, characters in-universe consider him redeemed for his misdeeds and he's fairly popular with the fans, but Gabranth considers himself unworthy of either and is resigned to remain here until Chaos releases him from his duty, believing his loyal servitude the only honor he has left after past disgraces.

Satsuki Yumizuka, The Forgotten One (Sacchin)
 * Quasideity (just barely made it)
 * Symbol: A blood-stained finger
 * Alignment: Chaotic Neutral
 * Portfolio: Forgotten Characters, Ordinary Vampires, Memetic Mutation
 * Domains: Moon, Hope, Repose, The Abyss
 * Followers: Daichi Misawa (Yu-Gi-Oh! GX), Rin Satsuki (Touhou Project)
 * Sacchin is still waiting for her time to shine. It is believed she got exactly one "pity vote" in the last Ascension delegation meeting, but since very few know who she is, this is purely conjecture.
 * Chance of Redemption: May get a chance when the Tsukihime Remake is released. If it doesn't have her arc, then she's screwed.

Azula, Goddess of Villainous Breakdowns
 * Lesser Goddess
 * Symbol: A pair of scissors
 * Alignment: Neutral Evil
 * Portfolio: Villains Who Lose Their Cool
 * Domains: Evil, Fire, Madness
 * Followers: Lady Macbeth, the vast majority of Ace Attorney villains, especially, who does her nails and shares the ruined hair problem.
 * Formerly the Goddess of Manipulative Bastards. Kept perfectly cool until it was revealed that Machiavelli Was Wrong, and her Parental Abandonment caught up to her.
 * Unlike most of the rest of the fallen, her fans still mostly adore her and her portrayal, rather than feeling sorry for her at best. She's just too mad to see it.
 * Azula claims to have banished her fandom reasoning they would eventually betray her like Mai and Ty Lee.
 * Last heard sobbing miserably and shrieking incoherent revenge on her brother, her friends, the entire Water Tribe, and Revolver Ocelot.
 * Light Yagami attempted to overthrow Azula, delibarately putting himself in the Fallen as part of a Gambit Roulette. But Spike, claiming that Azula and her constant ravings are "too much fun around here to lose", thwarted Light's plan by releasing this out into the open. Nobody could take Light's Villainous Breakdown seriously after seeing that, and Light's claim to Azula's position became null and void.
 * Adolf Hitler has also attempted to overthrow Azula's position. When informed that his attempt had failed, he did not take it well.
 * Chance of Redemption: Pending psychological re-evaluation.

Spike, Fallen Badass Vampire (William Pratt, William the Bloody)
 * Lesser God
 * Symbol: A Rail Spike
 * Alignment: Chaotic Neutral, with a tendency to pick fights.
 * Portfolio: Badass Decay, Face Heel Turners, Badass Longcoats, Friendly Neighborhood Vampires, Noble Demons, Battle For Its Own Sake
 * Followers: Captain John Hart (Torchwood)
 * Domains: Love, Moon, Death, Chaos
 * Formerly of the Magnificent Bastard pantheon, but was kicked out because he became a fool for love and fell hard. He was banished before Azula usurped the pantheon. The forces of Good have expressed some interest in him...
 * Is gloating heavily at Azula's banishment.
 * He sometimes likes to comfort himself by saying "At least I'm better off than that loser Edward"
 * He still holds to that comfort even with Edward being the Crown Prince of Mary Suetopia and heir to the throne of the Disgraces. Especially with Edward being the Crown Prince of Mary Suetopia and heir to the throne of the Disgraces; that's not exactly something to be proud of.
 * Chance of Redemption: With the image of vampires these days, things are looking for him to make vampires cool again.

Dorothea Ernst and Monica Kruszewski, Goddesses of Informed Abilities
 * Symbol: Emblem of Britannia.
 * Alignment: Lawful Evil
 * Portfolio: Getting Killed Within Moments of Engaging in Combat, Getting Killed Off Mid Sentence, Unfortunate Implications
 * Domains: Battle, War, Conquest
 * Followers: Michael Patterson (For Better or For Worse), Nicolae Carpathia (Left Behind).
 * Originally it was decided that only 4 of the Knight of Round spots would be vacant, but with the already huge cast, these two hapless members were given minimal focus, to the point where they were left with standard issue Knightmare frames when it was finally their turn to go into combat. Their quick defeats in battle, however justified, became instant sources of unintentional hilarity.
 * Chance of Redemption: None whatsoever. They are already dead.
 * A phenomenal showing in the upcoming Code Geass: Boukoku no Akito? It would have to be particularly impressive. ..

Pandemonium Warden, Fallen God of Everlasting Battle
 * Lesser Deity
 * Symbol: The Pandemonium Key
 * Alignment: Chaotic Evil
 * Portfolio: Transformation, Horribly Bad Bosses, Taking Forever To Kill
 * Domains: Chaos, Battle, Shape
 * Was to ascend to the Pantheon, change its form to that of Mr. Rogers, and lead Light and his allies into overtaking the Main House, but a meddler changed the ritual. Its powers are now effectively locked, leaving it incapable of taking the shape of any god with more influence than a Lesser deity. Its, ahem, "stamina" was also lowered to less than a ninth of its previous capacity.
 * Embarrassed beyond belief, it is now summoned by adventurers on which it can unleash its rather ineffectual fury.
 * Is made the butt of a lot of jokes based on endurance. Even Milhouse can get away with it (and he's not even a god anymore). That's just depressing.
 * Chance of Redemption: Very low. Absolute Virtue has surpassed it.

Dahlia Hawthorne, Restless Spirit of Revenge (Melissa Foster, )
 * Fallen Intermediate Goddess
 * Symbol: A white parasol with lace trim
 * Alignment: Chaotic Evil
 * Portfolio: Serial Killers, Sweet-Looking Blackhearts, Spiteful Schemers, Evil Redheads, Big Bads In Genres Where You'd Least Expect It
 * Domains: Charm, Death, Demonic, Hatred, Retribution
 * Opposed by: Phoenix Wright, Mia Fey
 * Once upon a time, Dahlia lived among the innocent masses, charming young men and crushing their dreams under her heels, and either killing them or letting them do the job for her. Her bid for the thrones of Revenge and Yandere were thwarted by Phoenix Wright and Mia Fey, when they told her that her latest elaborate plan to steal Yuno's consciousness failed thanks to interference by Gilligan.
 * Chance of Redemption: Nonexistent. Banished to this realm by way of Humiliation Conga.

The Turn a Gundam, Poster Mecha for Hatred Due to Change (White Doll, Turn Stomach Gundam)
 * Greater God
 * Symbol: A white upturned mustache
 * Alignment: True Neutral
 * Portfolio: Humongous Mecha, Nanotechnology, Forgotten Ancient Technology, The End and What Happens Afterward
 * Domains: Mechanus, War
 * Gundam Fan Dumb took one look at the design and cast it here without giving the show a chance.
 * Chance of Redemption: Pretty low. Time hasn't been kind to the Turn A Gundam or its pilot.
 * It is unknown what the reaction would be if anyone in the pantheon realized that even from here, the Turn A is capable of Reducing All The Gods to mortals... however no one but the Council of Shadows is aware of the true Terror of Turn A and its Moonlight Butterfly.
 * Unfortunately for some, Fortunately for others, recent inclusion in the video games Dynasty Warriors: Gundam 1,2 may result in a boost in popularity.
 * His soon-to-be released English DVD boxset is sure to help, as well.

Chuck Cunningham, The Lost One (Brother Chuck)
 * Quasideity (never had a chance to get higher)
 * Symbol: A basketball jersey with the number "00"
 * Alignment: not enough information to determine
 * Portfolio: Fictional Characters Missing-In-Action, Older Siblings
 * Domain: Family
 * Also Missing: Judy Winslow (Family Matters), half the original cast of Step by Step, Stuart Minkus (Boy Meets World), the Koopalings (Super Mario Bros..), Uter (The Simpsons), Kappei Hiiragi (Clannad visual novel), Mima (Touhou), Lt. Jerome Stone (Power Rangers), Bridget (An American Tail)
 * Little has been revealed about Chuck's background or whereabouts since his first steps into the Pantheon garden. He apparently was one of the regulars during its initial construction, and then simply disappeared without a trace. Fonzie and Steve Urkel have denied all involvement in his disappearance.
 * Chance of Redemption: Unlikely, even if someone actually finds him.

Malal, the Renegade Chaos God and God of Canon Discontinuity (The Outcast God, The Lost God, The Renegade God, Malice) "...And no man looked to Malal then, save those that serve that which they hate, who smile upon their misfortune, and who bear no love save for the damned. At such times as a warrior's heart turns to Malal, all Gods of Chaos grow fearful, and the laughter of the Outcast God fills the tomb of space..."
 * Greater God
 * Symbol: A bisecting black/white skull
 * Alignment: Chaotic Evil
 * Portfolio: Canon Discontinuity
 * Domains: Chaos, Self-destruction, Copyright Problems
 * Followers: The Doomed Ones, the Sons of Malice Renegade Space Marine Chapter
 * Enemies: Khorne, Tzeetch, Nurgle, Slaanesh
 * For a long time the other Gods of the pantheon wondered why Malal was with the Fallen. Some believed he was cast out of the Pantheon by the other Chaos Gods, others believed it was a self-imposed exile as part of a plan to kill the other Chaos Gods... But then it was revealed he was here because Games Workshop weren't entirely sure who owned the copyright to Malal so all mention of him was dropped, but if you know where to look you may fine referances to him.
 * He also has been going by the name of "Malice" in the Warhammer40000 universe which may be a sign of his return to Canon but time can only tell.

- Great Book of Despair


 * Chance of Redemption: When the copyright issues get resolved and Malal is reintroduced to canon or if the Sons of Malice get their own codex.
 * A possibility is coming with the Chaos Legions codex.

Kaname Ohgi, God of Love Induced Stupidity
 * Lesser God
 * Symbols: The Black Knights logo, the Japanese flag
 * Alignment: Neutral Selfish
 * Portfolio: Homely Looking Everymen, Ambiguous Judaism with Hair to Match, People Who Ruin Things By Stepping In At The Wrong Moment, Backstabbers, Undeserved Happy Endings.
 * Domains: Chaos, Commerce, Love and War.
 * An Ensemble Darkhorse in the earlier part of the series for his clearsightedness, Ohgi looked to be the good-hearted if unexceptional straight-shooter who just might play a crucial role in everyone's salvation. As it turns out, the only crucial role he had was in quite possibly the worst turn of events in the series: selling out his leader Lelouch based on the suspicious if half-true testimonies of Schneizel and the Britannian spy he fell for, Villetta. Tellingly enough, the latter, who he falls for while she's in an amnesiac state, is responsible for his regression in character and his subsequent errors, and even after she decides she loves him, still remains unreliable regarding Lelouch, as she's spent much of the show on his tail. What does Ohgi get in the end, even though he was indirectly responsible for Lelouch enacting the world's worst dictatorship as part of a crazed death wish? The Prime Minister spot in Japan. Real Life Unfortunate Implications abound.
 * Considering he tried making an under the table deal for Japan's freedom in exchange for Zero without the UFN's consent, don't be surprised if he waffles under pressure, or gets shunned by the rest of the UFN.
 * Chance For Redemption: Very little. To paraphrase Dante, the lowest circles of hell are reserved for traitors.

Raiden, Fallen God of Thunder (Rayden)
 * Intermediate God
 * Symbol: His Nice Hat, covered with thunder
 * Alignment: Neutral Good
 * Portfolio: Thunder, Gibberish Battle Cries (YOUR MOTHER IS IN LAAAA), Big Good, Physical God, Trademark Hat, Mentor figures.
 * Domains: Thunder, Guidance
 * Former superior: Thor
 * Fell here after a Senseless Sacrifice turned him into a extremist jackass dubbed as 'Dark Raiden'. Got his redemption ticket by getting a chance to be a good Raiden again and fix past things but majorly screwed up, giving great disadvantage to the forces of good and lost the trust of his apprentice Liu Kang, thus he opted to stay here until he fully redeemed himself
 * Chance of Redemption: If Mortal Kombat 10 allowed him to save the rest of the heroes and bolstering the forces of good without any major screw ups again...

Littlefoot, God of Too Many Sequels
 * Portfolio: Dinosaurs, Executive Meddling, Franchise Zombies, Formulaic Fiction, Recycled Scripts, Direct to Video.
 * Domains: Theater, Commerce
 * Followers: Most of Don Bluth's other characters and many Disney hero/ines. Also applies to characters/universes from the following: the American Pie films, National Lampoon, Species, Police Academy, etc.
 * By the third movie, it was the opinion of many deities that the extinction of the dinosaurs wasn't such a bad thing after all. Others are hoping why that stupid asteroid hasn't come yet.
 * Chance of Redemption: Very low.

Yagyu Munenori, God of Good Men Cast As Bastards
 * Symbol: Two swords crossed together, near an eye patch.
 * Alignment: Supposedly True Neutral, but EVERYONE labels him as any of the Evil alignment
 * Portfolio: Samurai, Sengoku Era, Yagyu, Always Villain
 * Domains: War, Samurai, Sword
 * Everyone thinks he's being one mean father and hates his son. In truth, he genuinely loves his son and wants him disciplined. Despite the public appearance as The Hero who opposes his 'tyrannical' father, Yagyu Jubei actually respects him and wishes Munenori can one day escape the flak of being cast as a dastardly villain all the time time.
 * Chance of Redemption: Good, especially given the sort of treatment Oda Nobunaga gets, though he probably revels in it.

Master Hand, Temporarily Resigned God of InterContinuity Crossovers (The Aspect of Creation)
 * Former Overdeity
 * Symbol: A circle with an off-center quartering it
 * Alignment: Lawful Neutral
 * Portfolio: Amazing Technicolor Battlefields, Creepy Laughter, Folks from all over gaming fighting each other.
 * Domains: Competition, Creation, Law
 * Master Hand was the god of the world of Super Smash Bros., a world of his own design. It was the being that hosted two grand tournaments, watched over the many, many battles fought in its world, who laid claim to the infamous Final Destination, who held dominion over the ones who fought, and who would, occasionally, fight with its creations for a bit of amusement.
 * Before the third tournament could begin, Master Hand was lured into the strange world of Subspace, caught off guard, and literally chained to Tabuu's will. Over time, Master Hand became more and more a part of Subspace, so when he finally broke free, Tabuu was able to easily defeat Master Hand, due to his control over the realm. This defeat was so shameful that the Master Hand resigned its godhood for the time being, and appointed the heroes who defeated his captor to fight against Crazy Hand until Master Hand is ready to retake his throne.
 * Chance of Redemption: Variable.

Newton Pulsifer, God of Technological Ruin (Newt)
 * Intermediate God
 * Symbol: A pin
 * Alignment: Neutral Good
 * Portfolio: Ruining Anything Technological Through No Apparent Fault Of One's Own, Doing Things Because Destiny Says So, Unlikely Heroes, Finding Witches (In Theory), Desperately Looking for a Purpose In Life
 * Domains: Good
 * Originally, Newt was accepted into the House of Technology when he falsely claimed to be a computer programmer. Five mintutes after his entry, all the computer terminals had switched off, Tony Stark's armour was malfunctioning, all of the Power Rangers were cut off from the Morphin' Grid, and Optimus Prime lay dead yet again. All Newt had done was turn on a light switch. Consequently, he was exiled to this Pantheon for their protection, even though he has done nothing wrong.
 * This is, of course, Just As Planned. The Council of Shadows is keeping him around in case they need to deal with any gadget-based opponent.
 * Chance of Redemption: When the Council no longer needs him, he'll be good to go.

Jay Gatsby, God of Empty Wealth (James Gatz)
 * Intermediate God
 * Symbol: A green light
 * Alignment: True Neutral
 * Portfolio: Empty Success, Love Martyrs, Failures Of The American Dream, Novels Vindicated by History, Tragic Figures, Half-Decent People In Corrupt Worlds
 * Domains: Commerce, Passion
 * Followers: Charles Kane (Citizen Kane)
 * Was going to get into the Commerce pantheon as the God of Self-Made Men, until it transpired that his wealth had ultimately brought him no fulfillment, at which point he was cast down here to exist in lonely splendor.
 * Chance of Redemption: Dependent on when he'll actually share his money with someone.

The Driver Formerly Known As Stig, Sacked God of Test Drivers and Professional Racers (Ben Collins, The Sacked Stig)
 * Sacked Demigod
 * Symbol: a generic white full-face helmet; alternately, a generic black full-face helmet
 * Alignment: True Neutral
 * Portfolio: Cars, Racers
 * Domain: None, but formerly Sports, Racing, and Celebrity
 * Enemies: Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond, and James May
 * Formerly in the House of Sports, he tried to get himself a research position in Academy to write research papers and books, but that turned out to be a very bad idea. He ended up getting himself not only sacked from the Academy, but cast out of the entire Pantheon, forcing Clarkson, Hammond, and May to head down to their Stig Farm and find a replacement Stig for the House of Sports. The new Stig has inherited this Stig's former domain, followers, and basically everything else, leaving this Stig with nothing. Some say the sacked Stig now spends his time driving around in a Lego car at Legoland Windsor. All we know is, he's no longer called The Stig.
 * To be fair, this has happened twice. The former Stig (known as The Black Stig for his all-black outfit and helmet) met a more gruesome end, thrown to Davey Jones' Locker by Clarkson, Hammond, and May.

Asagi Asagiri, Goddess of Vaporware
 * Quasi deity
 * Symbol: Twin pistols crossed over a flail
 * Alignment: True Neutral
 * Portfolio: Vaporware, Guns Akimbo, ButtMonkeys.
 * Domains: War, Suffering
 * Asagi found herself here after numerous attacks and plots on various houses in her quest to finally be the main character of her own game.
 * Chance Of Redemption: Low. Depends on if either Makai Wars comes out or if she ever becomes the main character of her own game. On the other hand, she is immensely popular among the Nippon Ichi fanbase and her brief time as a Prinny has shown that she can be a capable main character.

Sindel, Goddess of Cutscene Power to the Max
 * Quasi deity
 * Symbol: Her skunk like haircut.
 * Alignment: Lawful Good (normal) --> Chaotic Evil (when mind controlled)
 * Portfolio: Cutscene Power to the Max, Diabolus Ex Machina
 * Domains: Law, Good, Family
 * Chance Of Redemption: Medium. Her chances lie upon Mortal Kombat 10's story mode.
 * Fell as a result of an infamous scene in Mortal Kombat 9 resulting in much rage and eye rolling. Alas, the events of the story mode of Mortal Kombat 9 ruined many characters, causing the fall of Raiden and the temporary disgrace of Quan Chi. As a result, much of the pantheon feels sorry for her.

Shion Sonozaki, Goddess who can Never Live It Down (That psycho Yandere chick who tortures everyone)
 * Quasi deity
 * Symbol: A bloody taser.
 * Alignment: Blurry between Chaotic Good and Chaotic Neutral (normally). Chaotic Evil (believed)
 * Portfolio: Never Live It Down, Knight Templar Big Sister, Mafia Princess. Yandere (believed), Cold-Blooded Torture (believed).
 * Domains: Chaos, Family, Protection. Evil (believed), Suffering (believed).
 * Allies: Rika Furude, Oyashiro Sama, Sol Badguy
 * Enemies: Scar, Precia Testarosa and Ghestis
 * Chance Of Redemption: Medium. Depends on if her reputation improves.
 * Fell as a result of never being to live down the actions of the Cotton Drifting/Eye Opening story arc. Granted, she was under the effects of a Hate Plague at the time. However, said actions were the most horriffic of the series.
 * Her particullary aggressive protective instincts in subsequent arcs could be seen as trying to atone for said gruesome acts.
