Talk:Gerund Pantheocide/Archive

proposed for addition, 4th November 2020:

Gerund Pantheocide is a self-declared Scourge of the Gods currently serving as a pitcher for the Tokyo Lift.

History

Background

Pantheocide was born into an isolated community in the southern Caucasus. The locals claim descent from the Scythian culture, and celebrate what the Greeks deemed their "barbarian" traditions such as bareback horseriding, squirrel-fur hats and god-slaying.

Like all the first-born daughters of her lineage, Pantheocide has been trained from birth to kill any available gods by any available means. She has spent years honing her body, her instincts and indeed her many swords for this single purpose. Sadly her legendary ancestors were so formidable that they had driven the region's deities to extinction by around 300BCE.

When she came of age Gerund was faced with a choice between leaving her homeland for new hunting grounds or, as her mother Participle suggested, just dropping the whole god thing and retraining as a dental hygienist. Hearing stories of Blaseball and its teams' epic struggle against the Shelled One, Pantheocide made the arduous journey across the breadth of Asia to join her nearest ILB team and thus realise her full potential. She was only mildly annoyed to find that they expected her to play Blaseball first.

With the Tokyo Lift

Pantheocide is skilled in the use of broadswords, longswords, shortswords, narrowswords, claymores, halberds, axes, pikes, Bohemian earspoons, kukris, clubs, mallets, bludgeons and blats. She nevertheless demanded assignment to the pitching rotation in order to develop her skills in ranged combat. She says that it is "surprisingly difficult" to deliver a fastball while also carrying seven different melee weapons, but that "you gotta be prepared".

Since settling in Tokyo she has launched a YouTube channel to which she uploads weapon reviews, call-outs and god-killing tips for several hundred thousand avid subscribers. Her most-watched video is a twelve-hour sponsored Minecraft stream collecting funds for Japanese Blittle League teams (specifically: to equip them with leather armour, two-handed battleaxes and training mannequins in the shape of popular Hellenic deities). She likes the music of the Seattle Garages and writes self-insertion Plercy Jlackson fic described by Ao3 users as "harrowing" and by Dlisney Publishing as "legally actionable".

She has to date killed "nearly one" god but did once spray the words you suck on a statue of Poseidon. She told her YouTube audience that the resulting fine and lifetime ban from every museum in Tokyo were "totally worth it".

added a collapsible div to facilitate conversation--anyone can click on the expand button to read the entirety of the entry. My biggest note is that the first sentence doesn't really have room for community lore stuff; see Help:Example Player. Likewise the speculation currently on the page about the Pantheocide name needs to also live under the community lore section. Top section is a synopsis of stuff from blaseball.com specifically. Second, smaller note: always refer to the subject of the article in the third person/by their family name. Otherwise looks great.

Frogslayer

Gerund, in their grand quest to defeat every God, obtained a familiar which is a frog, commonly called Frogslayer. The origins of this creature are largely debated but likely to have been a gift from Lotus to Gerund. Upon recieving Frogslayer Gerund immediately gave them a knife to use in their now joint quest to kill all gods. Frogslayer is largely ambivalent to Gerund's quest but accompanies them on their outings in god-hunting rather regularly and is surprisingly sturdy for your every day frog, which is a positive as Gerund does have a habit of throwing it at "enemies". Frogslayer is actually thrown by accident quite a bit as it likes to get right on the pitching mound with Gerund and they sometimes nistake Frogslayer for a blaseball. When examined it was found that Frogslayer a) has impeccable vibes, b) is impossible to kill despite Gerund's unintentional efforts, and c) is always having a good time out there. Frogslayer has yet to kill a single god, but HAS massacred the team's ankles, at least up until Cudi put a little steath on it's knife. Frogslayer is good friends with fellow frog Chorby Short of the Magic, and will regularly hang out near the Magic dugout while Gerund is pitching.
