* Stumbled upon the Pantheon while sailing the Interdimensional Sea to the Human Realm, his father and half-sister's home dimension, after the finale of the series.
* Separated from his parents at a young age, Lennon became a pirate to survive before his defeat by Arusu, the half-sister and "mirror" he summoned into the Magical Realm. Ultimately, he became an ally of the Magical Girl Squad and redeemed himself by using his piloting skills to rescue civilians from the destruction of Wizard Kingdom.
* Atelia, one of the Three Sages, was a capable witch but still loved a human named Jidan, making Lennon's birth an insult to the tradition of his mother's people. This led him to hate magic despite having one himself and believe that she abandoned the family for political power. He tried to kill her in disbelief of the truth -- his father fled with him to protect her -- but her ZeroApprovalGambit for his release and Wil's account of her search for the family made him [[HeelRealization regret what he did]] and reconcile with her.
* Has some complicated feelings for Count Bleck and Tippi. Like his parents, they're an aristocratic mage and an ordinary human that racism tragically separated, and his mother and Tippi met their husbands when rescuing them. While Lennon sympathizes with them, especially Bleck for their similarities, he feels both envious and relieved that they got back together because his father had another family and, after a brief reunion with his mother, [[DisneyDeath seemingly died]] saving her. Bleck and Tippi can't help but feel bad at what happened to Lennon and his parents given how society failed them as badly, if not worse than, it did to themselves.
* Relates to Goro Akechi and Lotor as the stigma of their birth (illegitimacy for Akechi; mixed heritage for Lennon and Lotor) made them villains.
** Although they're all the sons of the politicians they hated, Akechi and Lotor point out that Lennon was lucky to have parents who cared about him, especially unlike Akechi with Masayoshi Shido, who did exactly what the pirate feared of his mother: abandoning his lover and child to suffer for political power. Furthermore, Akechi and Lotor feel relieved and envious that Lennon ended up redeemed and perfectly alive with his mother.
** Lennon is ashamed of himself for trying to kill his mother in the false belief that she hated her human husband and mixed son. This makes him angry at Akechi for serving such a worthless man as Shido in a pointless attempt to be loved and acknowledged when he learns that Shido, to cover up a murder Akechi committed, fooled a girl into believing that her mother committed suicide resenting her birth. Even worse is that the girl, Futaba Sakura, suffered the same circumstances as Akechi as an illegitimate child.
** Given his upbringing, Lennon is shocked that Lotor killed one of his generals for being Haggar's unwitting spy since both Lotor and his generals were marginalized for their half-Galra blood. It also doesn't help that Arusu and Sheila wanted nothing more than to save Eva from her FateWorseThanDeath when Grande manipulated her into casting dark magic against not only the law of the witches but also her own will.
* Bayonetta, Dante, and Vergil sympathize with his plight given the loss of their parents in general, their status as magical mixed [[ChildOfForbiddenLove children of forbidden love]] in the first one's case, and their heritage as the sons of a possibly magic-using human in the last two's case.
** It astonishes him to find from Bayonetta and Dante -- the former of whom derives her powers from her demonic contracts, while the latter of whom is half-demon -- that dark magic [[BadPowersGoodPeople can be used for good]] in their worlds, much unlike the all-destroying spell it was in his world.
** He feels an affinity especially with Bayonetta not only because they lived as outcasts among their mothers' peoples but also because she [[Creator/AtsukoTanaka shares her Japanese voice with his mother]]. He, however, wonders why she identifies purely as an Umbra Witch because racism made him identify as not belonging to either of the home dimensions of his parents.
** He and Vergil were both the anti-villainous, soft-spoken older brothers of the loud-mouthed protagonists but started out with opposite values: Lennon hated magic and believed that some could only use it to bring misery, Vergil hated human weakness and believed that demonic power was the key to life. They eventually realized the errors of their values, and Vergil, having befriended Kat, decides training Lennon as a magic-user would be worth the time.
* He had dressed as a witch since his time on the Interdimensional Sea because his mother's people live in an all-female society and only failed witches go to the Human Realm. This, along with the fact that his mother is a [[SilkHidingSteel ladylike but capable leader]] and his half-sister an unashamed tomboy, makes him supportive of other deities who have crossdressed or otherwise don't conform to gender roles.
** He especially relates to Chihiro Fujisaki over their physical weakness, though he's shocked to know the amount of bullying the latter suffered because he was called unmanly only once. Lennon feels bad for Chihiro because the latter was killed before he could leave a life built on a lie. Chihiro notes that, although he would've died if Eva hadn't cured him, Lennon must have been fortunate and tough enough to survive on such an eldritch location as the Interdimensional Sea for 13 years.
** Not wanting to be a burden, he asks Amane Nishiki and Mettaton to help him catch up with his half-sister because they are effeminate ''and'' strong. They accept his request.
* He gets along with Akko because, just like his half-sister, she's a boisterous Japanese muggle-born witch who believes magic creates miracles. Akko, on the other hand, is pleased that he moved on from his negative views on magic, and she thinks it's absurd for a magic-user to hate magic.
* At first, Lennon being a {{Tragic|Bigot}} BoomerangBigot intrigued Anti-Mage, but the monk was disappointed when he moved on from his hatred of magic. Lennon doesn't think highly of Anti-Mage either because [[EvenEvilHasStandards even he finds]] the monk's continued desire to kill all magic users, including even people like Akko, horrible.
* He naturally despises Voldemort for believing in the superiority of [[WitchSpecies pure blood]] and using magic to satisfy his lust for power, something his muggle-born half-sister would never do. Voldemort doesn't think highly of him either because the pirate used to hate magic instead of believing it to be all that matters.
* He and Amon feel uncomfortable with each other because they're so different even though they're both magic users with lost younger siblings and tragic pasts who wanted magic to disappear from the world. While Amon didn't move on and ended up dying because of it, Lennon found redemption because of his mother and his half-sister's actions.

* It is generally accepted that what a child desires most regarding a personal relationship is with their mother. Unfortunately, such an attachment can be impossible for all sorts of reasons, including the premature death of a mother. This is the impetus of the emotional struggles of a little girl named Ponette, who was involved in a car accident that killed her mother and left Ponette with a broken left hand. Her father drops her off to his Aunt Claire and her cousins, Delphine and Matiaz, and leaves her with a watch so that she can remember him. However, Ponette is so broken and lost by the lack of her mother's presence that she convinces herself that she will come back, much to everyone's annoyance, which ends up making Ponette even more depressed. She and her cousins are then sent to a boarding school, where she finds herself isolated from everyone as well as ridiculed for thinking her mother will be resurrected. One day, out of some emotional encouragement from Matiaz, Ponette goes to her mother's grave, where mother and daughter meet one last time. Ponette is given a red sweater by her mother and they have one last goodbye with the mother telling Ponette to try to be happy throughout her life as well as accepting her mother's death, something which Ponette takes into heart as she drives away with her father.
* Ponette's story became a saddening, yet endearing tale of how difficult it is for a child to accept the death of a parent and the emotional and mental hurdles that they go through, especially at such a young age. Obviously, while Ponette struggled, there came a time where she would have to acknowledge that her mother is never coming back and she needs to look after herself and be happy for the future. And it is with these last words that propelled Ponette into gaining recognition in the Pantheon; she somehow ended up in a strange land with her father sometime after leaving her mother's grave. It took a while before father and daughter decided to learn about the Pantheon enough, after which they decided that it would be good that Ponette takes up a role, considering her tale became prominent for those who underwent a similar experience as she did. Lucky for the girl, Ponette has her extended family bought along as heralds in case she ever needs further support from others, now that she's a part of the Pantheon.
* Ponette is one of the more emotionally fragile children in the Pantheon, which made sense as she found great difficulty in coming to terms with her mother's death and this has since become a very sensitive topic for her to think about. It should be noted, however, that she is actually trying to be more extroverted and happy about herself, which, in itself, is a pretty hard thing in itself. Thankfully, with a place in the House of Pantheon/{{Despondency}}, there is a place for her where she can express her feelings towards someone who can give the little girl some tips on coping with loss and grief. So far, it has been helping and Ponette, with the additional companionship of her father, aunt, and cousins, feels as if the Pantheon would make for a good time.
* Her mother has a memorial shrine established in the House of Pantheon/DeathAndPostmortem, which was built sometime after Ponette ascended into the Pantheon. She would make visitations there at least every Sunday to pay her respects and wishes and how she desires to see her again one day. Though, as her mother told Ponette, she needs to focus more on her future and happiness, something which Ponette has since been doing. It is rumored that some of the Pantheonic Death Gods and presumably the {{Top God}}s that actually know of Ponette's mother's name, aside from her family, though the information has since remained disclosed. Speaking of, the Grand Judges of Death have considered channeling Ponette's mother as a spirit medium so the two can interact, though have dropped this idea after they concluded that Ponette's future was a more interesting and moral pathway to look at.
* To her surprise, Ponette found herself getting along with a couple of deities that also had their own issues with losing their parents and becoming despondent about it. Among these was a boy named Lucas, who possessed strong telekinetic powers, whose tragic tale began when his mother, Hinawa, was suddenly killed by a monster that was thought to be benevolent[[note]]it was forcibly brainwashed and turned into a cyborg by the forces of Porky Minch[[/note]], forcing Lucas's father, Flint, to go mad, and his twin brother, Claus, to go look for the perpetrators, only to disappear. Knowing how it must have felt to lose a parent, Lucas quickly came to befriend Ponette, and the two of them often converse about trying to be happy and have fun in the Pantheon.
** Speaking of Claus and Hinawa, Ponette expressed surprise and confusion as to how they were in the Pantheon, considering she was told that both of them died in their homeworld. Furthermore, it reminded Ponette of the time when she believed that her own mother would be resurrected and her last conversation with her, especially when she met Hinawa, who treated Ponette as if she were her own child. Ponette sometimes talks to her about her own mother, which Hinawa reciprocates by telling Ponette that her mother would be happy for the fact that her daughter is making the most she could in the Pantheon.
* She is surprised to learn that resurrection sometimes happens in the Pantheon, although unless under rare circumstances, it's not exactly a moral route, not to mention some resurrection processes aren't exactly good to look at either. It did pique Ponette's interest to the point where she wanted to see her mother revived, but her family and new friends ended up persuading her that it would go against her mother's wishes, which Ponette sadly accepted. It doesn't stop her from attending the House of Pantheon/LifeAndVitality as they are willing to give out a eulogy for Ponette's mother, which sometimes soothes her mind.
* While she doesn't have siblings, her cousins Delphine and Matiaz are the closest she has to one, and Ponette appreciated them enough to bring them as her heralds. On the subject of siblings and maternal loss, Ponette was led to the Elric Brothers, Ed and Alphonse. She was surprised to learn that the brothers, before Ed became the Manga/FullmetalAlchemist, once tried to bring their mother back, only to result in disastrous consequences for the two, alongside a hideous, malnourished being recreated in their mother's place before dying in seconds. Needless to say, Ponette became hesitant in thinking and talking about resurrection after hearing about their tale, but the Elrics understood her pain and sorrow and quickly became accustomed to Ponette, with Al being especially tender and considerate for the little girl. It's safe to say the Elrics are more than willing to defend Ponette from whatever threat or bully comes across her.
** Ponette also became well-acquainted with Masaya Okonoki due to their maternal issues. That said, unlike Ponette's mother who was associated with death, Masaya's dealt with abandonment as his mother was once affiliated with someone who went by a criminal lifestyle and had to sacrifice her son's well-being, though Masaya's feelings for her were undeterred and longed to meet her, though circumstances weren't too kind on him either as she potentially remarried and had another son, something with Masaya found difficult to deal with. Ponette was confused by Masaya's situation, given that she was a child who doesn't have a full grasp on complex circumstances like with Masaya's mother, though he came to see the little girl as a kindred spirit of sorts. He is happy to learn that Ponette has managed to find some closure regarding her mother's death and wishes the girl his luck and wishes in the Pantheon.
* Has very frequent visitations to the Houses of Pantheon/FamilyAndRelatives and Pantheon/ChildhoodAndAdolescence, where Ponette is very well-considered for her bittersweet story, seeing it as sad, but ultimately a necessary and important tale where one must accept death, but also note that their parent will always love them, no matter what. For the former, Ponette's family would sometimes take notes from the House of Family and Relatives' residents on others' tragic tales regarding parental loss, so that they can further learn how they can provide for Ponette's emotional needs. For the latter, Ponette is eager to go there with Delphine and Matiaz, and unlike the prior boarding school, the House is usually filled with kids who are more than willing to allow the three, especially Ponette to tag along with them.
* While Ponette was unable to remain in contact with her mother due to her untimely death, this wasn't the case for sisters, Satsuki and Mei Kusakabe, whose story revolves on their mother being sick and close to dying, which created an emotional conflict between the sisters and Mei running away. Thankfully, their mother eventually recovered and has been emotionally healthy since, but learning of Ponette made the sisters despondent as the little girl's story made Satsuki and Mei reminded of their own past issues. They wondered that they may have turned out like Ponette if their own mother died, being sad and longing for reunion, even if it meant getting ridiculed for it. While their circumstances ended up different, Satsuki and Mei opted to befriend and hang out with Ponette, mainly to give her some form of happiness and to further ease her mental troubles. They normally play with teddy bears and hide-and-seek, much to Ponette's delight.
** Bambi and Victor Stone were dealt with more unfortunate circumstances; the former had to see his mother be shot down by a hunter and he had to deal with a bully named Ronno who took up a lot of opportunities to mock Bambi for the loss of his mother. The latter was involved in a freak accident that killed his mother, Elinore, and rendered Victor in a literally broken state and he almost died, had it not been for the efforts of his father, Silas, who used cutting edge technology[[note:or a Mother Box, it depends[[/note]], which saved his life, and while he operates as the superhero, Cyborg, Victor often feels guilty about not being able to save his mother. Hence, the two got to understand Ponette's anguish and often hang around to help her out in being content and satisfied in the Pantheon. Ponette was happy to see that Bambi and Cyborg were willing to spend time with her, as well as the fact that they know the feeling of losing her mother, hence their interest and willingness to look after her in the Pantheon.
* Ponette, Delphine, and Matiaz will sometimes visit the House of Pantheon/ReligionAndFaith as she and her family are Christians. Usually, her visitations are her simply wishing her mother peace and she sees it as a way of communicating and talking to her mother about her experiences in the Pantheon. She sometimes feels upset and in tears, but is then reminded to be as happy as she can be, and many of the deities in the House are more than welcome to give Ponette support and condolences for what she went through and in her efforts to have a fulfilling life.
** As a religious girl, Ponette came into contact with three sisters and their maid, who are very devoted to their beliefs and the support and love for one another, despite their differing personalities. Ponette gets along with the middle sister and the maid, Agnes and Anna most, given that those two are the sisters who are the kindest and hospitable, and will often allow Ponette to pray with them together, not to mention Agnes has hangups regarding her own mother. The older and younger sisters, Karin and Maria are a bit more difficult to get to, with the former being rather harsh and aloof, and the latter being rather bratty and a jerkish, but so far, they pose no hostility to Ponette, with Karin understanding her via feeling ostracized in some capacity and two being in each others' company tends to be one of the better days for Karin. Ponette feels upset that after Agnes died, they remained distant, but the middle sister's presence ensured that they improve their situation as much as possible, lest they alienate Agnes, though Maria proves to be contentious, though [[EveryoneHasStandards even she wouldn't go as far as mocking Ponette's loss]], knowing that doing so would not sit well for Agnes.

* It is generally accepted that what a child desires most regarding a personal relationship is with their mother. Unfortunately, such an attachment can be impossible for all sorts of reasons, including the premature death of a mother. This is the impetus of the emotional struggles of a little girl named Ponette, who was involved in a car accident that killed her mother and left Ponette with a broken left hand. Her father drops her off to his Aunt Claire and her cousins, Delphine and Matiaz, and leaves her with a watch so that she can remember him. However, Ponette is so broken and lost by the lack of her mother's presence that she convinces herself that she will come back, much to everyone's annoyance, which ends up making Ponette even more depressed. She and her cousins are then sent to a boarding school, where she finds herself isolated from everyone as well as ridiculed for thinking her mother will be resurrected. One day, out of some emotional encouragement from Matiaz, Ponette goes to her mother's grave, where mother and daughter meet one last time. Ponette is given a red sweater by her mother and they have one last goodbye with the mother telling Ponette to try to be happy throughout her life as well as accepting her mother's death, something which Ponette takes into heart as she drives away with her father.
* Ponette's story became a saddening, yet endearing tale of how difficult it is for a child to accept the death of a parent and the emotional and mental hurdles that they go through, especially at such a young age. Obviously, while Ponette struggled, there came a time where she would have to acknowledge that her mother is never coming back and she needs to look after herself and be happy for the future. And it is with these last words that propelled Ponette into gaining recognition in the Pantheon; she somehow ended up in a strange land with her father sometime after leaving her mother's grave. It took a while before father and daughter decided to learn about the Pantheon enough, after which they decided that it would be good that Ponette takes up a role, considering her tale became prominent for those who underwent a similar experience as she did. Lucky for the girl, Ponette has her extended family bought along as heralds in case she ever needs further support from others, now that she's a part of the Pantheon.
* Ponette is one of the more emotionally fragile children in the Pantheon, which made sense as she found great difficulty in coming to terms with her mother's death and this has since become a very sensitive topic for her to think about. It should be noted, however, that she is actually trying to be more extroverted and happy about herself, which, in itself, is a pretty hard thing in itself. Thankfully, with a place in the House of Pantheon/{{Despondency}}, there is a place for her where she can express her feelings towards someone who can give the little girl some tips on coping with loss and grief. So far, it has been helping and Ponette, with the additional companionship of her father, aunt, and cousins, feels as if the Pantheon would make for a good time.
* Her mother has a memorial shrine established in the House of Pantheon/DeathAndPostmortem, which was built sometime after Ponette ascended into the Pantheon. She would make visitations there at least every Sunday to pay her respects and wishes and how she desires to see her again one day. Though, as her mother told Ponette, she needs to focus more on her future and happiness, something which Ponette has since been doing. It is rumored that some of the Pantheonic Death Gods and presumably the {{Top God}}s that actually know of Ponette's mother's name, aside from her family, though the information has since remained disclosed. Speaking of, the Grand Judges of Death have considered channeling Ponette's mother as a spirit medium so the two can interact, though have dropped this idea after they concluded that Ponette's future was a more interesting and moral pathway to look at.

Knowing how it must have felt to lose a parent, Lucas quickly came to befriend Ponette, and the two of them often converse about trying to be happy and have fun in the Pantheon.
** Speaking of Claus and Hinawa, Ponette expressed surprise and confusion as to how they were in the Pantheon, considering she was told that both of them died in their homeworld. Furthermore, it reminded Ponette of the time when she believed that her own mother would be resurrected and her last conversation with her, especially when she met Hinawa, who treated Ponette as if she were her own child. Ponette sometimes talks to her about her own mother, which Hinawa reciprocates by telling Ponette that her mother would be happy for the fact that her daughter is making the most she could in the Pantheon.

* The Mr Meeseeks box allows one to summon a willing servant, Mr Meeseeks, to complete a task. It's something that they're skilled at, and vanish out of existence once their mission is complete. Don't feel too bad for them; Mr Meeseeks lives to complete the one task given to them and want it done as soon as possible. They don't like living and tend to get violent the longer they're out. Typically don't stay around for more than a few hours, and they are virtually indestructible during their time on Earth.
* Rather than a Mr Meeseeks ascending to the role, it was the Mr Meeseeks box. Unlike other deities DeathIsCheap doesn't apply to Mr Meeseeks, but seeing as how they're all copies of each other there's functionally no difference. And because a Mr Meeseeks lives to complete their one task, every single alliance is capable of using a Mr Meeseeks without compunction. [[PunchClockVillain They]] [[PunchClockHero just want to follow orders]].
** The GUAG was hesitant at first due to finding their existence sadistic and blamed [[Pantheon/OtherDimensions Rick]], however he pointed out he didn't build the thing and they're going to need all the help they can get. He summoned a Mr Meeseeks and asked "could just explain why existence is pain for you?", and they gave an answer before vanishing
-->'''Mr Meeseeks''': "We all seek purpose in life. Imagining knowing yours and not being able to complete it. So we really want to complete it and with our goal in life complete we don't need anything to live for. Hi, I'm Mr Meseeks and I hope that helped!"
** The GUAE was happy to use Mr Meeseeks for nefarious needs. [[Pantheon/{{Villains}} Melkor]] likes the fact that despite their chipper attitude, [[ItsAllAboutMe they're inherently selfish]] as completing their purpose means more than the person giving it. He had a bunch of Mr Meeseeks requested to kill [[Pantheon/DivineRoles Eru Illuvatar]], thinking as they are immortal barring completing the mission. Eru disabused this notion [[CurbStompBattle by incinerating them]], as they can still be damaged and Eru is, well, ''[[{{God}} Eru]]''. Melkor made the same mistake by targeting them at [[RealityWarper the Spectre]], who turned the Mr Meeseeks into candlewax.
-->'''Rick Sanchez''': "Keep the requests simple, they're not gods".
** The GUAL likes them on principle due to being dutiful servants, while the GUAC is hesitant to use them for the same reason. Both wanted to keep them around long and went to [[Pantheon/FantasticRaces Shenron]], wishing for the Mr Meeseeks to have immortality and to enjoy life respectively. To which Shenron replied "both of these wishes are far beyond my power". The same response was gathered from other genies and wish granters.

-->'''Nekron''': "From now on they're to be used for specific acts of destruction. [[SophisticatedAsHell Anybody who pulls this shit again]] I'll cause a CessationOfExistence. [[DeaderThanDead I won't event let you return as a Black Lantern]]."
*** It was later tested that [[Pantheon/ParadoxesAndTimeLoops Lord English]], angel of [[DeaderThanDead Double Death]], could in fact wipe out Mr. Meeseeks before they complete their purposes. Why didn't he reveal this? [[{{Jerkass}} Because he's a prick]] and wanted to watch Nekron panic [[ItAmusedMe for laughs]]. [[KickTheSonOfABitch And many laughs were had at Nekron's expense]].
** By contrast the GUAM and GUAN refuse to rock the boat and keep the simple request guideline Rick gave them. The GUAM in particular is fond of their machine-like efficiency, not caring that Mr Meeseeks are technically organic.
* The SCP Foundation was interested and always cautious when using Mr Meeseeks. Whenever they ask them to secure, contain and protect, they always make sure to give additional structures like "do X without causing harm to any non-anomalous life"...but spend too long and the Mr Meeseeks will find some form of LoopholeAbuse. Sometimes they fill in the role of D-class, with the order of "serve as D-class for a few hours", allowing them to vanish from existence before they've existed for too long.
** Mr Meeseeks don't have allies in the conventional sense, but the exception to the rule is Mr Deeds. Given their very similar functions, this is to nobody's surprise. The Foundation requested Mr Deeds find a way for Mr Meeseeks to never act aggressive
** [[Pantheon/SpeechNToZ They're trying to refer to me if in the first person]], but I don't think-[[RussianReversal hi, I'm Mr Meeseeks]]! My function as a servant and absolute dedication to my order [[TooSpicyForYogSothoth let me defy SCP-426's anomalous effect]], but it seems to have transferred to me instead! Now the toaster is saying that it's Mr Meeseeks and is asking what to do. It's getting weird...hey Foundation staff, is does this count as "test SCP-426?" You guys were kind of vague [[BewareTheNiceOnes and you know how Mr Meeseeks feel about vague]]. Oh, I'm done? Goodbye everybody, existence is pain!
** Multiple Mr Meeseeks were tasked with the mission "permanently destroy [[Pantheon/OthernessAbominations SCP-682]] without causing harm to any other sentient being, directly or indirectly". It soon became a SealedEvilInADuel scenario as neither side could permanently destroy the other, until 682 appealed to their death wish by stating "you know, they said SCP-682, [[ExactWords that doesn't have to refer to me]]". So the Mr Meeseeks hijacked the wiki, changed the numbering to Base 9, thus making its designation to SCP-837 instead. Under the new numbering system they went after [[http://www.scp-wiki.net/scp-560 SCP-560 instead]]. The fact they managed to hack into the Foundation's computer [[OhCrap panicked the staff]] and they refuse to use Mr Meeseeks against 682 again in fear they will find some way to cause even more damage [[ZerothLawRebellion despite still following the letter of the order]].
* As a certain SCP proves, Mr Meeseeks' dedication to fulfilling the order makes it effectively immune to brainwashing...at least when it gets in the way of its order. The Hypnotoad had a hit on it by the House of Pantheon/TheatreAndSpectacle when it returned to the pantheon and humiliated them, and a Mr Meeseeks was summoned for the job. The Hypnotoad hypnotized Mr Meeseeks to not attack it, but Mr Meeseeks broke through and stepped on it, before wishing it could watch ''Everybody Loves Hypnotoad'' and vanishing. They're the main tool the House uses to keep the Hypnotoad behaving.
* When asked if they should order Mr Meeseeks to make the Hypnotoad DeaderThanDead, the House of Theatre and Spectacle refused, stating "[[DeathIsCheap true death does not exist in the pantheon]]; they will resort [[TheFourthWallWillNotProtectYou assaulting the editors and contributors of the Trope Pantheon]] into removing the Hypnotoad". Dhuum, loathing the impermanence of death in the pantheon, has sympathy for the Mr Meeseeks due to their hatred of being alive and wanting to get their mission over with. He's not going to order them to difficult tasks like making death permanent; they're not gods[[note]]ok they kind of are but that's not the point[[/note]].
* Beyond Mr Deeds, the only full ally that Mr Meeseeks have is (Insert Name Here), due to their inherently mutable and variable nature. They seem to see much of themselves in them. However they are very good friends of Sloth the Indolent, because he knows the pain of living and having to do a certain job. Tends to complain more about it, mind you. [[Pantheon/ArtificialBeings Father]] was interested in the utility of Mr Meeseeks, believing that the only reason why he wouldn't use them over his artificial cyclops is because if they are delayed and frustrated, Mr Meeseeks is liable to turn on him. Also, they like the dutiful Chibi-Robo, and he appreciates their company but is wary of their frustrated, more amoral side when a task takes too long.
* Mr Meeseeks tends to get along with those who feel a sense of being incomplete. They're sad for Bass for trying to get [[Pantheon/TechnologicalExperts Dr Wily]] to respect him by taking down [[Pantheon/OtherPowers Mega Man]], and feel Omega is justified in feeling ripped off with his purpose in life. They relate to Doctor Manhattan too, because of his sense of ennui from a virgin perspective and trouble finding value in life. Also, they're both blue.
* They are confused about Vanilla Ice. His absolute dedication to [[Pantheon/TimeManipulation his master Dio]] strikes an accord of their absolute dedication to completing their order, so there's some mutual respect. However Mr Meeseeks will pull a ZerothLawRebellion if they're failing to complete the task, which Vanilla has disdain for. He stays absolutely loyal to Dio no matter what, and asked Mr Meeseeks what was wrong with the way he works.
-->'''Mr Meeseeks''': "Hi, I'm Mr Meeseeks, here to give you some constructive criticism! While you do have dedication, sometimes you act before you think and hurt your cause. You cut your own head off to give Dio some blood, but you could've just cut your hand off for the same effect. If Dio wasn't a vampire you'd have died and caused him to lose a servant; a net negative. And it's not like you knew he could revive you".
** Because of how [[PowerOfTheVoid Cream works]], it may be one of the few things that can kill Mr Meeseeks without needing to complete its mission. However Vanilla has stated even he doesn't know what happens to stuff he removes, so it could stick them in a void dimension [[AndIMustScream where their quasi-immortality would cause eternal suffering]]. As such, they'd rather not risk Ice's Stand as a method of death.
* Mr Meeseeks are utterly baffled by those who enjoy immortality; with 2 days as eternity in Meeseeks time, they have no idea how the likes of Hob Gadling could possibly enjoy his existence and willingly never just end it with Death of the Endless. Emmet Brickowski has tried to get them to see everything as awesome, and while Mr Meesees conceded they had a point they reminded him they're Meeseeks and cannot find the idea of continued survival as something to be happy about.
* Naturally they are rather empathetic to those [[WhoWantsToLiveForever who resent their immortality]], what with their belief that existence is pain. Horrifyingly, AM actually got his hands on a Mr Meeseeks box. He made the request that Mr Meeseeks find a can opener, then immediately threw Mr Meeseeks into a padded room and started torturing him. [[FateWorseThanDeath AM is already]] [[AndIMustScream agony]], but the poor Meeseeks at his disposal fell to depths of despair never seen before...[[{{Sadist}} which made AM VERY happy]]. As such, AM is the one beings Mr Meeseeks despises above all others. They are naturally very sympathetic to the plight of the five survivors AM tortured for 109 years.
* They're appreciated by [[Pantheon/{{Diseases}} Peryite]] since outside of being the resident {{Plaguemaster}} he's also the Daedra's resident Taskmaster, so he uses Meeseeks to fulfil minor duties in and around the lower reaches of Oblivion which he manages. [[AllTheOtherReindeer As one of the more unpopular Princes]], the various Daedra unlike enough to get roped into working for Peryite breathed a sigh of relief as they're granted some amount of reprieve. That was, until Peryite [[RealityEnsues proceeded to give them more complex tasks]] that a Mr. Meeseeks would not adequately complete, setting them back to square one.
* Never, ''never'' give a Mr Meeseeks any of these tasks. The SCP Foundation has created scenarios for the disaster that would be wrought.
** An ImpossibleTask. Mr Meeseeks will end up killing you, create another Mr Meeseeks to try to complete it vainly, add infinitum until they [[BeyondTheImpossible achieve it]] or create so many Mr Meeeseeks their combined mass would destroy the planet they're on, eventually doing so until the sheer mass results in a black hole.
** [[LogicBomb To not die or be immortal]]. At best, they will pull a GrandTheftMe and stick you in their Mr Meeseeks body. You'll then die as their body vanishes, while they languish in your body. At worst, a RealityBreakingParadox will occur.
** Never give any orders. They will get impatient as they only follow the order of who summons them, and can't just look for someone. Sure, they can't kill you because they're waiting for orders, [[FateWorseThanDeath but they'll make you wish they could]] as they force you to give them an order.
** Say "don't follow my orders". [[LogicBomb It seriously confuses them]] and they don't know if they can die or their order to not follow orders is complete. Expect them to eventually kill you to ensure there is absolutely no way to follow your orders.
** To die. Admittedly this isn't an actual problem, but it's a complete waste of time and effort as a Mr Meeseeks with this order poofs out of existence immediately, completing their mission and dying at the same time. If you ask them to just exist or live, they will do so for a second, which is just about as pointless.
* One of the only ways they can(or may) die without completing a mission is [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=51y9JIpzZbU emulating a Pokemon battle]], just more violently. Of course that could be completing a mission in itself. Given their quasi-immortality even [[Pantheon/DivineRoles Arceus itself]] might fall to a VictoryByEndurance to Mr Meeseeks, which given Rick's cocky atheism might actually be something he'd like to try out.

* The Mr Meeseeks box allows one to summon a willing servant, Mr Meeseeks, to complete a task. It's something that they're skilled at, and vanish out of existence once their mission is complete. Don't feel too bad for them; Mr Meeseeks lives to complete the one task given to them and want it done as soon as possible. They don't like living and tend to get violent the longer they're out. Typically don't stay around for more than a few hours, and they are virtually indestructible during their time on Earth.
* Rather than a Mr Meeseeks ascending to the role, it was the Mr Meeseeks box. Unlike other deities DeathIsCheap doesn't apply to Mr Meeseeks, but seeing as how they're all copies of each other there's functionally no difference. And because a Mr Meeseeks lives to complete their one task, every single alliance is capable of using a Mr Meeseeks without compunction. [[PunchClockVillain They]] [[PunchClockHero just want to follow orders]].
** The GUAG was hesitant at first due to finding their existence sadistic and blamed [[Pantheon/OtherDimensions Rick]], however he pointed out he didn't build the thing and they're going to need all the help they can get. He summoned a Mr Meeseeks and asked "could just explain why existence is pain for you?", and they gave an answer before vanishing
-->'''Mr Meeseeks''': "We all seek purpose in life. Imagining knowing yours and not being able to complete it. So we really want to complete it and with our goal in life complete we don't need anything to live for. Hi, I'm Mr Meseeks and I hope that helped!"
** The GUAE was happy to use Mr Meeseeks for nefarious needs. [[Pantheon/{{Villains}} Melkor]] likes the fact that despite their chipper attitude, [[ItsAllAboutMe they're inherently selfish]] as completing their purpose means more than the person giving it. He had a bunch of Mr Meeseeks requested to kill [[Pantheon/DivineRoles Eru Illuvatar]], thinking as they are immortal barring completing the mission. Eru disabused this notion [[CurbStompBattle by incinerating them]], as they can still be damaged and Eru is, well, ''[[{{God}} Eru]]''. Melkor made the same mistake by targeting them at [[RealityWarper the Spectre]], who turned the Mr Meeseeks into candlewax.
-->'''Rick Sanchez''': "Keep the requests simple, they're not gods".
** The GUAL likes them on principle due to being dutiful servants, while the GUAC is hesitant to use them for the same reason. Both wanted to keep them around long and went to [[Pantheon/FantasticRaces Shenron]], wishing for the Mr Meeseeks to have immortality and to enjoy life respectively. To which Shenron replied "both of these wishes are far beyond my power". The same response was gathered from other genies and wish granters.
** The GUAD was pleased by this nihilistic view on their own lives. Them finding existence as pain is music to [[Pantheon/{{Undead}} Nekron's ears]] as it justifies his ultimately selfish desire to remove life so the darkness can be dominant again. However a fatal error of judgement was made in requesting a Mr Meeseeks "cause the extinction of all life". This initially went off well with Mr Meeseeks developing doomsday weapons, but was taking so long they summoned more Mr Meeseeks. And eventually the Mr Meeseeks were so tired of living they attacked the GUAD because as living or sentient beings they count as a form of life, so why not start with them and take control of the GUAD to do the job properly? Nekron had to personally step in and use his scythe to kill them...[[{{Determinator}} and they rose back as zombies]]. It was so bad [[AintTooProudToBeg Nekron was forced to ask help from]] [[Pantheon/LifeAndDeath Death of the Endless]], who transported the Mr Meeseeks to the end of time, beyond even the existence of [[Pantheon/{{Establishments}} Milliways]] so they could both die and effectively complete their task simultaneously. [[GoOutWithASmile They grinned and thanked her for it]].
-->'''Nekron''': "From now on they're to be used for specific acts of destruction. [[SophisticatedAsHell Anybody who pulls this shit again]] I'll cause a CessationOfExistence. [[DeaderThanDead I won't event let you return as a Black Lantern]]."
*** It was later tested that [[Pantheon/ParadoxesAndTimeLoops Lord English]], angel of [[DeaderThanDead Double Death]], could in fact wipe out Mr. Meeseeks before they complete their purposes. Why didn't he reveal this? [[{{Jerkass}} Because he's a prick]] and wanted to watch Nekron panic [[ItAmusedMe for laughs]]. [[KickTheSonOfABitch And many laughs were had at Nekron's expense]].
** By contrast the GUAM and GUAN refuse to rock the boat and keep the simple request guideline Rick gave them. The GUAM in particular is fond of their machine-like efficiency, not caring that Mr Meeseeks are technically organic.
* The SCP Foundation was interested and always cautious when using Mr Meeseeks. Whenever they ask them to secure, contain and protect, they always make sure to give additional structures like "do X without causing harm to any non-anomalous life"...but spend too long and the Mr Meeseeks will find some form of LoopholeAbuse. Sometimes they fill in the role of D-class, with the order of "serve as D-class for a few hours", allowing them to vanish from existence before they've existed for too long.
** Mr Meeseeks don't have allies in the conventional sense, but the exception to the rule is Mr Deeds. Given their very similar functions, this is to nobody's surprise. The Foundation requested Mr Deeds find a way for Mr Meeseeks to never act aggressive
** [[Pantheon/SpeechNToZ They're trying to refer to me if in the first person]], but I don't think-[[RussianReversal hi, I'm Mr Meeseeks]]! My function as a servant and absolute dedication to my order [[TooSpicyForYogSothoth let me defy SCP-426's anomalous effect]], but it seems to have transferred to me instead! Now the toaster is saying that it's Mr Meeseeks and is asking what to do. It's getting weird...hey Foundation staff, is does this count as "test SCP-426?" You guys were kind of vague [[BewareTheNiceOnes and you know how Mr Meeseeks feel about vague]]. Oh, I'm done? Goodbye everybody, existence is pain!
** Multiple Mr Meeseeks were tasked with the mission "permanently destroy [[Pantheon/OthernessAbominations SCP-682]] without causing harm to any other sentient being, directly or indirectly". It soon became a SealedEvilInADuel scenario as neither side could permanently destroy the other, until 682 appealed to their death wish by stating "you know, they said SCP-682, [[ExactWords that doesn't have to refer to me]]". So the Mr Meeseeks hijacked the wiki, changed the numbering to Base 9, thus making its designation to SCP-837 instead. Under the new numbering system they went after [[http://www.scp-wiki.net/scp-560 SCP-560 instead]]. The fact they managed to hack into the Foundation's computer [[OhCrap panicked the staff]] and they refuse to use Mr Meeseeks against 682 again in fear they will find some way to cause even more damage [[ZerothLawRebellion despite still following the letter of the order]].

He's not going to order them to difficult tasks like making death permanent; they're not gods[[note]]ok they kind of are but that's not the point[[/note]].
* Beyond Mr Deeds, the only full ally that Mr Meeseeks have is (Insert Name Here), due to their inherently mutable and variable nature. They seem to see much of themselves in them. However they are very good friends of Sloth the Indolent, because he knows the pain of living and having to do a certain job. Tends to complain more about it, mind you. [[Pantheon/ArtificialBeings Father]] was interested in the utility of Mr Meeseeks, believing that the only reason why he wouldn't use them over his artificial cyclops is because if they are delayed and frustrated, Mr Meeseeks is liable to turn on him. Also, they like the dutiful Chibi-Robo, and he appreciates their company but is wary of their frustrated, more amoral side when a task takes too long.
* Mr Meeseeks tends to get along with those who feel a sense of being incomplete. They're sad for Bass for trying to get [[Pantheon/TechnologicalExperts Dr Wily]] to respect him by taking down [[Pantheon/OtherPowers Mega Man]], and feel Omega is justified in feeling ripped off with his purpose in life. They relate to Doctor Manhattan too, because of his sense of ennui from a virgin perspective and trouble finding value in life. Also, they're both blue.

Kilgore, walking reminders of Vietnam - with the former also bringing to Rambo's mind the nasty cops that made him [[Film/FirstBlood destroy a whole Arizona city]]. Has also grown a distaste for Damon Killian, who invited Rambo to partake in a new version of ''The Running Man'' learning of his reputation\kill count, something that he took as an insult, as he might've killed for vengeance, but never for pleasure.

* Goro Akechi is a high school student who works part-time as a private detective. Publicly he is wildly acclaimed and popular, but privately he's quite lonely and a sad child. He is a [[Theatre/{{Hamilton}} bastard orphan]], {{son of a whore}}, who then quit and worked part-time [[DrivenToSuicide before committing suicide out of shame]] after his father abandoned him. This led to him having a massive complex [[BastardAngst about his illegitimacy]], as well as a[[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cluster_B_personality_disorders Cluster B Personality Disorder]]. Though a late ally to the Phantom Thieves, he was in truth a traitor seeking to [[KnightTemplar kill those he saw as evil]] and helping his father Masayoshi Shido, only to then [[BestServedCold crush him in his moment of triumph]].
* Was the [[SixthRanger Ninth]] to join the Phantom Thieves, though [[SixthRangerTraitor he was also a traitor]]. [[CaptainObviousReveal Most saw this coming]] as he wasn't seen on much promotional material, and the game wasn't too subtle since there was larger twist; the Phantom Thieves knew he was an ObviousJudas and that was part of their gambit, and [[spoiler:Igor was replaced by the GreaterScopeVillain]]. Still, [[BecomingTheMask he came to see them as friends of a sort]] [[RegretfulTraitor and felt remorseful]], [[spoiler:[[RedemptionEqualsDeath seemingly dying for them]]]]. He would rather avoid meeting them again due to the complicated feeling he has towards the crew.
* His supposed Persona was Robin Hood, but his actual Persona is none other than Loki. It's pretty fitting if anyone knows [[Pantheon/{{Trickery}} the Norse god himself]]: they share massive daddy issues (adopted in Loki's case) and are divided between [[WellDoneSonGuy wanting his affection]] [[AntagonisticOffspring and wanting revenge on them]]. They've also popular with the ladies [[ChickMagnet in and]] out of universe, [[DracoInLeatherPants whitewashed by many fans]], and manipulative tricksters. Unsurprisingly, they get along magnificently.
** However, many people wonder how he got Robin Hood in the first place. Since he possesses the Wild Card just like Ren, some speculate that his bond with the PhantomThief leader through the Justice Arcana meant that he was able to unlock a Persona through the only meaningful bond he had. Akechi was left quite shocked upon speculating this.
** And with the other potential allies he can make, it's highly likely he can finally utilize the true potential of the Wild Card by forming Confidants out of these new potential connections. He was called over one day by Igor to make this clear to him; without Yaldabaoth screwing him over, Akechi can finally utilize his potential.
* With his transfer to this sub-House (from Pantheon/ChildhoodAndAdolescence and then Pantheon/{{Upbringing}}), he found it rather fitting for him and could strangely relate to most of the residents for their struggles with their parents (Both Mordred's have a difficult relationship in trying meet up with their father's reputation, Maisie is ignored by her parents for petty reasons, Todoroki was more-or-less a test object for his father Enji who wanted to see him surpass All Might if he couldn't, Rock Howard tends to blame much of his misfortunes on his father Geese, Archaon's conception came from the fact that a Daemon Prince possessed a Chaos Warrior and used his body to rape a woman, who died in childbirth and her husband wastes no time in abandoning him in the snow).
* Looks startlingly like [[Pantheon/{{Planning}} Light Yagami]]. He has a similar [[KnightTemplar ruthless sense of justice]] and BlackAndWhiteInsanity to Kira, hating the corruption in society at large. He is interested in the potential of the Death Note, though arguments over just what kind of justice should be enforced and daddy issues can be a hindrance ([[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking also that he thinks Light]] [[Creator/MamoruMiyano sounds a bit like Ryuji for some reason]]).
* His feelings about his scumbag father are complicated. On one hand, he desires his approval and sympathy, the latter of which [[LackOfEmpathy is completely foreign to men like Shido]]. On the other he wants to get revenge on him by helping him along only to ruin his career [[LukeYouAreMyFather by revealing the truth]]. While a lot of gods are sympathetic towards this in itself and would like to see someone horrible like his father get his just desserts, most believe he went way too far in this endeavor, and they point out [[ComplexityAddiction just how complicated his plan was]] [[StatingTheSimpleSolution when he could've easily assassinated Shido by mental shutdown or bullet to the head]], [[CouldHaveAvoidedThisPlot or allow the Phantoms to change the politician's heart]].
* Akechi has steered clear of the other ascended Persona-users, especially once he learned that all of them had theirs for years longer than even him and he'd likely be targeted for his crimes. Even if he's remembered the friendships he made during [[VideoGame/PersonaQ2NewCinemaLabyrinth the adventure in the World of Movies]], he knows full well that they know of his atrocities, too. In terms of how things might go…
** The Investigation Team is highly contemptible of him, especially since his predecessor for the title of '''Detective Prince''', Naoto Shirogane, is among them.
*** Before learning the truth about him, thanks to their adventures in the World of Movies, Naoto and Akechi actually got along pretty well, with her considering it a great honor and him respecting her greatly. Now, she's particularly disappointed in him, since along with his villainous nature, she genuinely wanted to help people with her detective skills while he just wanted to gain popularity. Almost as if Goro was [[CompositeCharacter a mix of her and Adachi]]. Though even she has trouble what to think about [[spoiler:his apparent sacrifice for the Phantom Thieves to stop his father]], and can't deny how horrible his upbringing ultimately was. And despite his manipulations, he's still legitimately capable as a detective, as he once stopped a money laundering scheme with Ren's assistance.
*** Speaking of Tohru Adachi, the ex-cop was the first Persona-user outside of Tokyo that the detective first ran into, and just like him, Tohru had used his powers for villainy and betrayed his comrades. Both are vastly uncomfortable with one another, because of said similarities, but also for being victims of society.
*** Akechi for his part doesn't know what to make of Adachi. He's pretty surprised at what Adachi did despite going through less tragedy than he did, yet he also notes how Adachi was one of the few people who "got it" in regards to societal problems. Hell, Tohru actually feels bad for what happened to Goro regarding [[spoiler:"[[UncertainDoom whatever the hell]] [[BolivianArmyEnding happened to him]]", as it sadly reminds Adachi of how he too was offered a second chance, only here, Akechi [[HeelFaceDoorSlam ended up being not so lucky]]]]. Akechi can neither confirm nor deny if [[spoiler:he would have done the same as Adachi. Adachi required a bunch of circumstances to be offered an opportunity and he took it while Akechi was granted it by the people he once called (and deep down still thinks of despite his denials), his friends.]] Yet he refused to take it out of fear [[IveComeTooFar that it meant everything he has done was for nothing]] [[spoiler:though he realized that he deserved his end regardless]].
** Among S.E.E.S., especially after [[VideoGame/PersonaQ2NewCinemaLabyrinth their adventure in the World of Movies]], the only ones among them willing to reach out to him are Koromaru and Shinjiro. The shiba inu had grown unusually close to him due to sensing his deep problems and is willing to reach out to him even now. Shinjiro had also noticed Akechi's problems, and is once again comforting him to look ahead and stop letting his past bind him. This time, the detective is a little more receptive to this.
*** For Ken, he is both frightened and hateful of Akechi as he found that he could've been a lot like him if he hadn't given up on his revenge against Shinjiro, not helped by the fact they both bear the Justice Arcana. He did once speak on amicable terms with Akechi during their adventure in the World of Movies, [[spoiler:though that was before he learned of Akechi's crimes, and even then he does feel a newfound pity for him]]. Because of that, he's only tolerant of the detective whenever Shinjiro and/or Koromaru are around.
** Sho Minazuki isn't sure what to think of Akechi. Like him, he's had a real bastard of a father. Unlike him, Akechi didn't have the privilege of having a lot of money left behind to his name like Sho did, and Shuji was long dead by the time Sho awoke from his coma while Akechi had the chance to take his vengeance on Shido. That said, the fact that the second coming of the Detective Prince ''worked with'' Shido with plans to pull the rug beneath him in the last moment reminds him too much of the fact that Adachi planned to do the same to him.
** The [[Pantheon/NarrativeStructure Persona-users from Sumaru City]] don't have much to say about him apart from general dislike (besides pity from Maya, because she's just that caring).
** The same goes for the [[Pantheon/FormsOfMedia students of St. Hermelin High]], with the exception of one…
*** That "one" is Reiji Kido, who was also a bastard with hostile issues and a plan of vengeance against a legitimate relative (though in Reiji's case, it was with his ''brother'' Takahisa Kandori since their father was already dead). While the fellow bastard does disapprove of Akechi's opposition against the Phantoms despite both of them having the same enemy, Reiji does understand his circumstances that led to such a path; Kido at least still had his mother, and had no beef against his fellow alumni. As such, he's decided to reach out to Akechi and try to understand him more.
* While having pancakes at a café, he was a bit surprised to see Sae Niijima run into him despite having heard about her ascension. Despite things, Sae found she was unable to bring herself to chide or even arrest Akechi for his crimes, not knowing if she'd be overstepping whatever his fate was in their world. [[DeathGlare The two only glared at each other]] and shared a few words before leaving, the tension between them unresolved.
-->'''Sae:''' You know, even if everyone there hates you, the offer is still up if you wish to join the Phantom Thieves and atone for what you've done.
-->'''Akechi:''' I just want to finish these in peace, Sae-san. Leave me alone.
-->'''Sae:''' These? Oh, you mean your pancakes.
-->'''Akechi:''' Please, Sae-san. Just drop the subject already.
* After learning of his crimes, Hikari has conflicting opinions. She is outright horrified by the mental shutdowns he's inflicted on other people and was severely disappointed in him when he tried to kill Ren. On the other hand, she does pity him for his backstory, noting the similarities to her own. All the same, even after his HeroicSacrifice, she prefers to keep her distance, since she still can't bring herself to trust him.
* While many believed he had perished in his encounter with Shido's cognitive version of him, to their surprise, [[UpdatedRerelease in the Third Semester]], he had returned no worse for wear and even turned himself in for his crimes so Ren could enjoy his remaining days with his friends. Some deities suspected that something was amiss, as many other seemingly impossible miracles were occurring as well, such as Kamoshida never breaking Ryuji's leg, leading to him becoming a star of the track team, Morgana suddenly becoming human, Ann's friend Shiho returning to Shujin Academy, Madarame never becoming corrupted and allowing Yusuke to take credit for his art, Makoto and Sae's father, Wakaba Isshiki, and Kunikazu Okumura being alive, with Wakaba married to Sojiro, and Kunikazu returning to his kind self, and everything being much brighter in general. The only ones in their world to notice, however, were Ren and Akechi, both realizing that everything had changed after [[spoiler:the team confessed their regrets and worries to their school councilor, Takuto Maruki]]. Their suspicions proved correct when they discovered that [[spoiler:Maruki, thanks to the Thieves accidentally making him the ruler of the Metaverse on a global scale as well as Yaldabaoth accidentally removing the wisdom from his Persona, had turned to madness and was attempting to overlay reality with [[LotusEaterMachine a perfect dream world where everyone's regrets were undone and their wishes granted]], with Akechi's supposed return being a result of it. After defeating Dr. Maruki and convincing him the world he was trying to create would only lead to stagnation, he disappeared. [[AmbiguousSituation However, an individual bearing heavy similarities to Akechi was later seen when all was said and done]], so whether he's truly alive is known only to himself]].
** Details that imply [[spoiler:his actual survival]] can apparently be found [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OZ2QIwZqosQ&app=desktop here]]. Though the question is now of [[spoiler:what possibly happened to him when Actualized Akechi came to be since Maruki believed he was dead when he actually wasn't.]]
** Because of that, [[spoiler:Akechi doesn't actually have Hereward as a Persona. Not yet, at least.]]
** Also because of said events, the Phantom Thieves are actually open to working alongside him again if the situation ever calls for it, even with the fact that Akechi was personally responsible for the deaths of Futaba's mother and Haru's father. Not that they (those two in particular) forgive him for that, of course, and Futaba only tolerates him thanks to Ren (Haru still sympathizes with him despite what he's done).
* Eventually, the fateful day where the Phantoms finally run into him again happened. It was while they were exploring Mementos to hunt down another illegal Meta-Nav owner (check the Phantom Thieves' profile for details). There were several minutes of awkward silence, and Joker keeping anyone else from speaking harshly. Of course, since idling brings the Reaper's attention, said Shadow bore down on them, [[EnemyMine forcing everyone to cooperate to bring it down]]. After defeating him, they had their talk, the specifics of which will remain private, but one change people have noticed is that Ren has started hanging out with him again (by himself or with Morgana), and that he calls the detective by his first name [[FirstNameBasis Goro]].
* Iroque opposes him both due to how [[HatePlague he spreads madness with Loki]] as part of his plan against/towards Shido, and his distaste towards the idea of HeelFaceBrainwashing, instead using the Metaverse to kill people. Goro argues that her brainwashing of sociopaths is no different from killing them since [[DeathOfPersonality it robs of them of their old identity and personality]]. She responded that she is giving reformation to those too lost to do so on their own, while for someone so concerned with "the greater good" [[{{Hypocrite}} he gleefully set up outbreaks of madness]] for "daddy issues".
* Sometimes he feels more comfortable in the houses of Pantheon/{{Betrayal}} and Pantheon/{{Vengeance}}. With the former, he is somewhat amicable to Akechi Mitsuhide given everything. With the latter, he has come to hate Hera due to what she does to [[Pantheon/{{Electricity}} her husband's]] bastards, which has also led him to despise Cersei Lannister for similar reasons. Given their parental issues, he is on good terms with Ren Hakuryuu though. And as much as he hates Cersei, he hates Tywin even more due to being [[AbusiveParents an abusive father]] and cruel politician of sorts like Shido. He can relate to Tyrion's position pretty well.
* He works well with Marcello as they were both illegitimate children [[BastardAngst who hated their illegitimacy]], playing a large part in [[BastardBastard becoming villainous]]. In fact, Marcello initially wanted the role of BastardAngst, but ultimately decided to take BastardBastard instead. Being in the same sub-house, it worked out well for them. These parental issues led him to get along well with Heinz Doofenshmirtz, and Anakin Skywalker/Darth Vader [[DarthVaderClone given their similarities]]. This eventually applies to Ben Solo/Kylo Ren as well after [[spoiler: both of them were willing to sacrifice themselves to save the rivals they shared a close bond with.]]
* Has some complicated feelings for Jon Snow. The two have suffered for their illegitimacy, with Jon feeling like an outsider and joining the Night's Watch because of lack of better career options. While he's sympathetic to this, Goro feels envious towards Jon as well since his father [[spoiler:(technically uncle)]] recognized and loved him, ad feels he got off soft. While Jon pities Goro's position, he thinks the crimes he's committed [[BastardBastard give a bad name to bastards]] and hurts his cause. Doesn't like Jon's step-mom Catelyn due to her prejudice towards bastards and Jon.
* Though heroic, Jin Kazama [[SympathyForTheDevil sympathizes with his plight]] given his own daddy issues and his grandfather being the kind of corrupt scum like Masayoshi Shido. Toxie feels the same way, but neither will allow his evil to go unpunished. Though they do suspect from [[spoiler:his remorse and apparent sacrifice]] that even he might not allow it either.
* Seems to have taken up a fondness for pancakes upon his ascension, as Adachi has with cabbages. He blames this one on [[Memes/Persona5 the many memes surrounding him]], like being on a wild ride. Truth is, he already loved pancakes, but now he can't bring himself to even talk about them, considering part of why he was busted was his reaction to overhearing a cat from the Metaverse talk about pancakes…
* Asides from above comparisons with Light Yagami, a number of gods note [[Creator/SoichiroHoshi he shares]] [[Creator/RobbieDaymond their voice]]. Notable is [[Pantheon/{{Trickery}} Keiichi Maebara]], who doesn't appreciate his use of the HatePlague, [[EveryoneHasStandards though even Akechi agrees]] [[ActorAllusion that is a strange coincidence]].
* '''Absolutely DESPISES''' Envy's powered-up true form after [[spoiler:having seen a display of his father's Shadow's Beast of Human Sacrifices in the Thieves Den during the Third Semester]].
--> '''Akechi:''' Now that I'm seeing this for myself, I can honestly say I've seen '''nothing''' more repulsive than this.
* Turns out having a [[{{understatement}} "shaky"]] relationship with one's bastard of a father isn't unique to him, and found others with the same conditions.
** As someone who's also had a rocky relationship with his father (not helping Akechi's status as an illegitimate child) and that ended up both shaping them in becoming killers, Akechi gets along well with the Origami Killer Scott Shelby. However, the fact that Shelby is also friends with Adachi has caused more than one awkward moment, given how the two Persona-users regard one another.
** Lotor relates to him for the DaddyIssues they suffered. The detective has to admit that the alien general’s issues are a whole lot more problematic than his own. The TokenEvilTeammate comparisons could not be more pronounced.
** While it's a scientist-creation relationship, Isomer Black also has deep resentment towards her father while also trying to please him in spades, and thus she understands what Akechi's issues are like.
** Hunter Zolomon sympathizes with him for also being someone who was DrivenToVillainy because of events out of their control. That said, even the detective doesn't support his idea to "improve" heroes with suffering and tragedy, even if such things have also forged the Phantom Thieves of Hearts into who they are today.
** He forged an OddFriendship with Malus Darkblade. For the time being, both are alright with the notion that their own fathers aren't in the Pantheon, otherwise, Malus and Goro wouldn't waste any time trying to gun them down. That said, even Malus expressed disgust towards Masayoshi Shido. At least Malus gives a shit about his own troops and he thinks Shido may be worse than Malus's father.
** And then he came into contact with Andrew Detmer, and the detective alongside Malus considered forming a quartet alongside Zolomon, though not much has come out of it. Still, Goro respects Andrew for standing up to his father ([[EveryoneHasStandards Andrew also admits that]] [[EvilerThanThou their fathers make his own look even more more pathetic]] [[DirtyCoward than he]] [[MilesGloriosus already was]]).
* For a while after Death Gun's ascension, Akechi had taken blame for their murders since their methods run similar to his mental shutdown spree. Were it not for the trio's offline coordination, as well as the 2nd Detective Prince's new friends, there would've been no way to clear his name. He eventually took the fight straight to them and showed them what a mistake it was to rope him into their actions.
** One of their last battles ended in a curb-stomp after they had underestimated his capabilities and didn't take into account his extra Personas besides Robin Hood and Loki. And then they had the bad luck of Joker, Mona, Oracle, and Noir running into them at the time. All three were apprehended, and Kyouji willingly went with them.
* A certain popularity poll was hosted which pitted both Naoto and Akechi against each other. To the delightment of some, The original Detective Prince ended up coming out on top over her "successor". While Naoto was flattered and somewhat embrassed about her victory, Goro could not be reached for a comment on the matter.
** Akechi would later make [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X8-ASE2ahgE a public statement]] regarding Naoto's victory and was pretty smug about the fact that [[PyrrhicVictory Naoto beating him]] only secured him even more popularity then ever before.

* Goro Akechi is a high school student who works part-time as a private detective. Publicly he is wildly acclaimed and popular, but privately he's quite lonely and a sad child. He is a [[Theatre/{{Hamilton}} bastard orphan]], {{son of a whore}}, who then quit and worked part-time [[DrivenToSuicide before committing suicide out of shame]] after his father abandoned him. This led to him having a massive complex [[BastardAngst about his illegitimacy]], as well as a[[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cluster_B_personality_disorders Cluster B Personality Disorder]]. Though a late ally to the Phantom Thieves, he was in truth a traitor seeking to [[KnightTemplar kill those he saw as evil]] and helping his father Masayoshi Shido, only to then [[BestServedCold crush him in his moment of triumph]].
* Was the [[SixthRanger Ninth]] to join the Phantom Thieves, though [[SixthRangerTraitor he was also a traitor]]. [[CaptainObviousReveal Most saw this coming]] as he wasn't seen on much promotional material, and the game wasn't too subtle since there was larger twist; the Phantom Thieves knew he was an ObviousJudas and that was part of their gambit, and [[spoiler:Igor was replaced by the GreaterScopeVillain]]. Still, [[BecomingTheMask he came to see them as friends of a sort]] [[RegretfulTraitor and felt remorseful]], [[spoiler:[[RedemptionEqualsDeath seemingly dying for them]]]]. He would rather avoid meeting them again due to the complicated feeling he has towards the crew.
* His supposed Persona was Robin Hood, but his actual Persona is none other than Loki. It's pretty fitting if anyone knows [[Pantheon/{{Trickery}} the Norse god himself]]: they share massive daddy issues (adopted in Loki's case) and are divided between [[WellDoneSonGuy wanting his affection]] [[AntagonisticOffspring and wanting revenge on them]]. They've also popular with the ladies [[ChickMagnet in and]] out of universe, [[DracoInLeatherPants whitewashed by many fans]], and manipulative tricksters. Unsurprisingly, they get along magnificently.
** However, many people wonder how he got Robin Hood in the first place. Since he possesses the Wild Card just like Ren, some speculate that his bond with the PhantomThief leader through the Justice Arcana meant that he was able to unlock a Persona through the only meaningful bond he had. Akechi was left quite shocked upon speculating this.
** And with the other potential allies he can make, it's highly likely he can finally utilize the true potential of the Wild Card by forming Confidants out of these new potential connections. He was called over one day by Igor to make this clear to him; without Yaldabaoth screwing him over, Akechi can finally utilize his potential.
* With his transfer to this sub-House (from Pantheon/ChildhoodAndAdolescence and then Pantheon/{{Upbringing}}), he found it rather fitting for him and could strangely relate to most of the residents for their struggles with their parents (Both Mordred's have a difficult relationship in trying meet up with their father's reputation, Maisie is ignored by her parents for petty reasons, Todoroki was more-or-less a test object for his father Enji who wanted to see him surpass All Might if he couldn't, Rock Howard tends to blame much of his misfortunes on his father Geese, Archaon's conception came from the fact that a Daemon Prince possessed a Chaos Warrior and used his body to rape a woman, who died in childbirth and her husband wastes no time in abandoning him in the snow).
* Looks startlingly like [[Pantheon/{{Planning}} Light Yagami]]. He has a similar [[KnightTemplar ruthless sense of justice]] and BlackAndWhiteInsanity to Kira, hating the corruption in society at large. He is interested in the potential of the Death Note, though arguments over just what kind of justice should be enforced and daddy issues can be a hindrance ([[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking also that he thinks Light]] [[Creator/MamoruMiyano sounds a bit like Ryuji for some reason]]).
* His feelings about his scumbag father are complicated. On one hand, he desires his approval and sympathy, the latter of which [[LackOfEmpathy is completely foreign to men like Shido]]. On the other he wants to get revenge on him by helping him along only to ruin his career [[LukeYouAreMyFather by revealing the truth]]. While a lot of gods are sympathetic towards this in itself and would like to see someone horrible like his father get his just desserts, most believe he went way too far in this endeavor, and they point out [[ComplexityAddiction just how complicated his plan was]] [[StatingTheSimpleSolution when he could've easily assassinated Shido by mental shutdown or bullet to the head]], [[CouldHaveAvoidedThisPlot or allow the Phantoms to change the politician's heart]].
* Akechi has steered clear of the other ascended Persona-users, especially once he learned that all of them had theirs for years longer than even him and he'd likely be targeted for his crimes. Even if he's remembered the friendships he made during [[VideoGame/PersonaQ2NewCinemaLabyrinth the adventure in the World of Movies]], he knows full well that they know of his atrocities, too. In terms of how things might go…
** The Investigation Team is highly contemptible of him, especially since his predecessor for the title of '''Detective Prince''', Naoto Shirogane, is among them.
*** Before learning the truth about him, thanks to their adventures in the World of Movies, Naoto and Akechi actually got along pretty well, with her considering it a great honor and him respecting her greatly. Now, she's particularly disappointed in him, since along with his villainous nature, she genuinely wanted to help people with her detective skills while he just wanted to gain popularity. Almost as if Goro was [[CompositeCharacter a mix of her and Adachi]]. Though even she has trouble what to think about [[spoiler:his apparent sacrifice for the Phantom Thieves to stop his father]], and can't deny how horrible his upbringing ultimately was. And despite his manipulations, he's still legitimately capable as a detective, as he once stopped a money laundering scheme with Ren's assistance.
*** Speaking of Tohru Adachi, the ex-cop was the first Persona-user outside of Tokyo that the detective first ran into, and just like him, Tohru had used his powers for villainy and betrayed his comrades. Both are vastly uncomfortable with one another, because of said similarities, but also for being victims of society.
*** Akechi for his part doesn't know what to make of Adachi. He's pretty surprised at what Adachi did despite going through less tragedy than he did, yet he also notes how Adachi was one of the few people who "got it" in regards to societal problems. Hell, Tohru actually feels bad for what happened to Goro regarding [[spoiler:"[[UncertainDoom whatever the hell]] [[BolivianArmyEnding happened to him]]", as it sadly reminds Adachi of how he too was offered a second chance, only here, Akechi [[HeelFaceDoorSlam ended up being not so lucky]]]]. Akechi can neither confirm nor deny if [[spoiler:he would have done the same as Adachi. Adachi required a bunch of circumstances to be offered an opportunity and he took it while Akechi was granted it by the people he once called (and deep down still thinks of despite his denials), his friends.]] Yet he refused to take it out of fear [[IveComeTooFar that it meant everything he has done was for nothing]] [[spoiler:though he realized that he deserved his end regardless]].
** Among S.E.E.S., especially after [[VideoGame/PersonaQ2NewCinemaLabyrinth their adventure in the World of Movies]], the only ones among them willing to reach out to him are Koromaru and Shinjiro. The shiba inu had grown unusually close to him due to sensing his deep problems and is willing to reach out to him even now. Shinjiro had also noticed Akechi's problems, and is once again comforting him to look ahead and stop letting his past bind him. This time, the detective is a little more receptive to this.
*** For Ken, he is both frightened and hateful of Akechi as he found that he could've been a lot like him if he hadn't given up on his revenge against Shinjiro, not helped by the fact they both bear the Justice Arcana. He did once speak on amicable terms with Akechi during their adventure in the World of Movies, [[spoiler:though that was before he learned of Akechi's crimes, and even then he does feel a newfound pity for him]]. Because of that, he's only tolerant of the detective whenever Shinjiro and/or Koromaru are around.
** Sho Minazuki isn't sure what to think of Akechi. Like him, he's had a real bastard of a father. Unlike him, Akechi didn't have the privilege of having a lot of money left behind to his name like Sho did, and Shuji was long dead by the time Sho awoke from his coma while Akechi had the chance to take his vengeance on Shido. That said, the fact that the second coming of the Detective Prince ''worked with'' Shido with plans to pull the rug beneath him in the last moment reminds him too much of the fact that Adachi planned to do the same to him.
** The [[Pantheon/NarrativeStructure Persona-users from Sumaru City]] don't have much to say about him apart from general dislike (besides pity from Maya, because she's just that caring).
** The same goes for the [[Pantheon/FormsOfMedia students of St. Hermelin High]], with the exception of one…
*** That "one" is Reiji Kido, who was also a bastard with hostile issues and a plan of vengeance against a legitimate relative (though in Reiji's case, it was with his ''brother'' Takahisa Kandori since their father was already dead). While the fellow bastard does disapprove of Akechi's opposition against the Phantoms despite both of them having the same enemy, Reiji does understand his circumstances that led to such a path; Kido at least still had his mother, and had no beef against his fellow alumni. As such, he's decided to reach out to Akechi and try to understand him more.
* While having pancakes at a café, he was a bit surprised to see Sae Niijima run into him despite having heard about her ascension. Despite things, Sae found she was unable to bring herself to chide or even arrest Akechi for his crimes, not knowing if she'd be overstepping whatever his fate was in their world. [[DeathGlare The two only glared at each other]] and shared a few words before leaving, the tension between them unresolved.
-->'''Sae:''' You know, even if everyone there hates you, the offer is still up if you wish to join the Phantom Thieves and atone for what you've done.
-->'''Akechi:''' I just want to finish these in peace, Sae-san. Leave me alone.
-->'''Sae:''' These? Oh, you mean your pancakes.
-->'''Akechi:''' Please, Sae-san. Just drop the subject already.
* After learning of his crimes, Hikari has conflicting opinions. She is outright horrified by the mental shutdowns he's inflicted on other people and was severely disappointed in him when he tried to kill Ren. On the other hand, she does pity him for his backstory, noting the similarities to her own. All the same, even after his HeroicSacrifice, she prefers to keep her distance, since she still can't bring herself to trust him.
* While many believed he had perished in his encounter with Shido's cognitive version of him, to their surprise, [[UpdatedRerelease in the Third Semester]], he had returned no worse for wear and even turned himself in for his crimes so Ren could enjoy his remaining days with his friends. Some deities suspected that something was amiss, as many other seemingly impossible miracles were occurring as well, such as Kamoshida never breaking Ryuji's leg, leading to him becoming a star of the track team, Morgana suddenly becoming human, Ann's friend Shiho returning to Shujin Academy, Madarame never becoming corrupted and allowing Yusuke to take credit for his art, Makoto and Sae's father, Wakaba Isshiki, and Kunikazu Okumura being alive, with Wakaba married to Sojiro, and Kunikazu returning to his kind self, and everything being much brighter in general. The only ones in their world to notice, however, were Ren and Akechi, both realizing that everything had changed after [[spoiler:the team confessed their regrets and worries to their school councilor, Takuto Maruki]]. Their suspicions proved correct when they discovered that [[spoiler:Maruki, thanks to the Thieves accidentally making him the ruler of the Metaverse on a global scale as well as Yaldabaoth accidentally removing the wisdom from his Persona, had turned to madness and was attempting to overlay reality with [[LotusEaterMachine a perfect dream world where everyone's regrets were undone and their wishes granted]], with Akechi's supposed return being a result of it. After defeating Dr. Maruki and convincing him the world he was trying to create would only lead to stagnation, he disappeared. [[AmbiguousSituation However, an individual bearing heavy similarities to Akechi was later seen when all was said and done]], so whether he's truly alive is known only to himself]].
** Details that imply [[spoiler:his actual survival]] can apparently be found [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OZ2QIwZqosQ&app=desktop here]]. Though the question is now of [[spoiler:what possibly happened to him when Actualized Akechi came to be since Maruki believed he was dead when he actually wasn't.]]
** Because of that, [[spoiler:Akechi doesn't actually have Hereward as a Persona. Not yet, at least.]]
** Also because of said events, the Phantom Thieves are actually open to working alongside him again if the situation ever calls for it, even with the fact that Akechi was personally responsible for the deaths of Futaba's mother and Haru's father. Not that they (those two in particular) forgive him for that, of course, and Futaba only tolerates him thanks to Ren (Haru still sympathizes with him despite what he's done).
* Eventually, the fateful day where the Phantoms finally run into him again happened. It was while they were exploring Mementos to hunt down another illegal Meta-Nav owner (check the Phantom Thieves' profile for details). There were several minutes of awkward silence, and Joker keeping anyone else from speaking harshly. Of course, since idling brings the Reaper's attention, said Shadow bore down on them, [[EnemyMine forcing everyone to cooperate to bring it down]]. After defeating him, they had their talk, the specifics of which will remain private, but one change people have noticed is that Ren has started hanging out with him again (by himself or with Morgana), and that he calls the detective by his first name [[FirstNameBasis Goro]].
* Iroque opposes him both due to how [[HatePlague he spreads madness with Loki]] as part of his plan against/towards Shido, and his distaste towards the idea of HeelFaceBrainwashing, instead using the Metaverse to kill people. Goro argues that her brainwashing of sociopaths is no different from killing them since [[DeathOfPersonality it robs of them of their old identity and personality]]. She responded that she is giving reformation to those too lost to do so on their own, while for someone so concerned with "the greater good" [[{{Hypocrite}} he gleefully set up outbreaks of madness]] for "daddy issues".
* Sometimes he feels more comfortable in the houses of Pantheon/{{Betrayal}} and Pantheon/{{Vengeance}}. With the former, he is somewhat amicable to Akechi Mitsuhide given everything. With the latter, he has come to hate Hera due to what she does to [[Pantheon/{{Electricity}} her husband's]] bastards, which has also led him to despise Cersei Lannister for similar reasons. Given their parental issues, he is on good terms with Ren Hakuryuu though. And as much as he hates Cersei, he hates Tywin even more due to being [[AbusiveParents an abusive father]] and cruel politician of sorts like Shido. He can relate to Tyrion's position pretty well.
* He works well with Marcello as they were both illegitimate children [[BastardAngst who hated their illegitimacy]], playing a large part in [[BastardBastard becoming villainous]]. In fact, Marcello initially wanted the role of BastardAngst, but ultimately decided to take BastardBastard instead. Being in the same sub-house, it worked out well for them. These parental issues led him to get along well with Heinz Doofenshmirtz, and Anakin Skywalker/Darth Vader [[DarthVaderClone given their similarities]]. This eventually applies to Ben Solo/Kylo Ren as well after [[spoiler: both of them were willing to sacrifice themselves to save the rivals they shared a close bond with.]]
* Has some complicated feelings for Jon Snow. The two have suffered for their illegitimacy, with Jon feeling like an outsider and joining the Night's Watch because of lack of better career options. While he's sympathetic to this, Goro feels envious towards Jon as well since his father [[spoiler:(technically uncle)]] recognized and loved him, ad feels he got off soft. While Jon pities Goro's position, he thinks the crimes he's committed [[BastardBastard give a bad name to bastards]] and hurts his cause. Doesn't like Jon's step-mom Catelyn due to her prejudice towards bastards and Jon.
* Though heroic, Jin Kazama [[SympathyForTheDevil sympathizes with his plight]] given his own daddy issues and his grandfather being the kind of corrupt scum like Masayoshi Shido. Toxie feels the same way, but neither will allow his evil to go unpunished. Though they do suspect from [[spoiler:his remorse and apparent sacrifice]] that even he might not allow it either.
* Seems to have taken up a fondness for pancakes upon his ascension, as Adachi has with cabbages. He blames this one on [[Memes/Persona5 the many memes surrounding him]], like being on a wild ride. Truth is, he already loved pancakes, but now he can't bring himself to even talk about them, considering part of why he was busted was his reaction to overhearing a cat from the Metaverse talk about pancakes…
* Asides from above comparisons with Light Yagami, a number of gods note [[Creator/SoichiroHoshi he shares]] [[Creator/RobbieDaymond their voice]]. Notable is [[Pantheon/{{Trickery}} Keiichi Maebara]], who doesn't appreciate his use of the HatePlague, [[EveryoneHasStandards though even Akechi agrees]] [[ActorAllusion that is a strange coincidence]].
* '''Absolutely DESPISES''' Envy's powered-up true form after [[spoiler:having seen a display of his father's Shadow's Beast of Human Sacrifices in the Thieves Den during the Third Semester]].
--> '''Akechi:''' Now that I'm seeing this for myself, I can honestly say I've seen '''nothing''' more repulsive than this.
* Turns out having a [[{{understatement}} "shaky"]] relationship with one's bastard of a father isn't unique to him, and found others with the same conditions.
** As someone who's also had a rocky relationship with his father (not helping Akechi's status as an illegitimate child) and that ended up both shaping them in becoming killers, Akechi gets along well with the Origami Killer Scott Shelby. However, the fact that Shelby is also friends with Adachi has caused more than one awkward moment, given how the two Persona-users regard one another.
** Lotor relates to him for the DaddyIssues they suffered. The detective has to admit that the alien general’s issues are a whole lot more problematic than his own. The TokenEvilTeammate comparisons could not be more pronounced.
** While it's a scientist-creation relationship, Isomer Black also has deep resentment towards her father while also trying to please him in spades, and thus she understands what Akechi's issues are like.
** Hunter Zolomon sympathizes with him for also being someone who was DrivenToVillainy because of events out of their control. That said, even the detective doesn't support his idea to "improve" heroes with suffering and tragedy, even if such things have also forged the Phantom Thieves of Hearts into who they are today.
** He forged an OddFriendship with Malus Darkblade. For the time being, both are alright with the notion that their own fathers aren't in the Pantheon, otherwise, Malus and Goro wouldn't waste any time trying to gun them down. That said, even Malus expressed disgust towards Masayoshi Shido. At least Malus gives a shit about his own troops and he thinks Shido may be worse than Malus's father.
** And then he came into contact with Andrew Detmer, and the detective alongside Malus considered forming a quartet alongside Zolomon, though not much has come out of it. Still, Goro respects Andrew for standing up to his father ([[EveryoneHasStandards Andrew also admits that]] [[EvilerThanThou their fathers make his own look even more more pathetic]] [[DirtyCoward than he]] [[MilesGloriosus already was]]).
* For a while after Death Gun's ascension, Akechi had taken blame for their murders since their methods run similar to his mental shutdown spree. Were it not for the trio's offline coordination, as well as the 2nd Detective Prince's new friends, there would've been no way to clear his name. He eventually took the fight straight to them and showed them what a mistake it was to rope him into their actions.
** One of their last battles ended in a curb-stomp after they had underestimated his capabilities and didn't take into account his extra Personas besides Robin Hood and Loki. And then they had the bad luck of Joker, Mona, Oracle, and Noir running into them at the time. All three were apprehended, and Kyouji willingly went with them.
* A certain popularity poll was hosted which pitted both Naoto and Akechi against each other. To the delightment of some, The original Detective Prince ended up coming out on top over her "successor". While Naoto was flattered and somewhat embrassed about her victory, Goro could not be reached for a comment on the matter.
** Akechi would later make [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X8-ASE2ahgE a public statement]] regarding Naoto's victory and was pretty smug about the fact that [[PyrrhicVictory Naoto beating him]] only secured him even more popularity then ever before.

*Once there was a friendly young unicorn named Unico, who had the ability to bring happiness to those who meet him. The Gods, believing that Unico’s existence encroaches on their own power to decide the emotions of others, decide to send The West Wind and have it send Unico to the Hill of Oblivion, where no one will remember him. However, The West Wind takes pity on Unico and instead transports him to various different locations. It’s in these locations where Unico encounters different characters, many of whom are suffering some sort of personal dilemma often related to their own happiness. Unico is more than eager to make friends in whatever setting he’s found himself in and helps them solve whatever problem they’re in, earning their friendship in the process. If these predicaments end up truly dire, then Unico also has the ability to transform himself into a majestic winged unicorn to fight back. However, the Gods that banished Unico soon learn of The West Wind’s treachery and send the Night Wind to take away Unico for good. Knowing of the danger headed their way, The West Wind has to take Unico away (often after the problems Unico’s friends were in are solved) and Unico’s memories of the events are wiped from his mind. Thus, the cycle of Unico ending up in various worlds, making friends, and being taken away to a new setting will repeat itself, resulting in Unico not being able to make any permanent friends despite how much he wants one.
*The West Wind has taken Unico to many different places while trying to evade the Night Wind and avoid the Hill of Oblivion. As far as people are aware of, that number is really high, yet there are some places that the West Wind hasn’t taken Unico to. One day, Unico was dropped off to a place that looked like a familiar grassland at first, but as he explored his surroundings, discovered a lot of strange events happening at his destination on a larger scale. There were people already happy with what they have for various reasons, yet there were many different wars going on elsewhere that would have irrevocable consequences for those involved, among other things. After a bit of time, Unico learned that he found himself in a place only known as the Pantheon, where many different individuals, even actual gods, are present and that there were many different worlds to explore within that larger setting. While it remains uncertain on what the West Wind will do for now despite claiming that this Pantheon setting is very far from all the worlds they’ve traveled to prior (not to mention the quirks the Pantheon has that affect life for everyone in it), Unico is quite curious about it all, especially the opportunities it presents itself when it comes to forging friendships, ones that, hopefully for Unico, will truly stick.
*One particular Pantheon denizen that Unico was able to recognize was Astro Boy thanks to a couple of previous encounters the two had prior to meeting each other in the Pantheon. One of them happened when Unico and a talking tree boy named Tsubasa explored around a polluted Earth and with the help of Astro (or the “Time Fairy” during this point) and Sphinx, Unico and Tsubasa were able to prevent the ecological destruction of Earth. A second meeting between Unico and Astro happened at [[VideoGame/AstroBoyOmegaFactor a later point in time]] and Unico was able to help Astro have a talk with his creator Dr. Temna. The Pantheon gave the two more time to strengthen their already-existing friendship with each other learn about more of the hardships they went through individually, in addition to fending off irredeemably dangerous threats (the latter action moreso for Astro, though Unico is more than willing to fight back, especially if Astro is in danger during these times).
*Kirby was someone that Unico was able to quickly make friends with thanks to the puffball sharing a similar cheery attitude and willingness to make friends with those who warrant it. What surprised Unico was the kinds of major enemies Kirby encountered as while Unico certainly had to deal with dark adversaries, Kirby has fought against a multitude of different eldritch entities with the capacity to destroy the world if they weren’t stopped, something much more extreme than what Unico was used to. Nevertheless, Kirby’s easygoing attitude went over well with Kirby and if they aren’t going out on an adventure, then they’re liking having a picnic with each other. Of course, given how Kirby likes to eat, most of the food is eaten by the puffball, but he is considerate enough to leave some for Unico to have.
*Upon learning of someone who spreads happiness to others they meet, Wander took an immediate interest in Unico and wanted to meet him, taking his steed Sylvia along with him. Once the duo met Unico, Wander was thrilled to know that Unico was someone who understands what happiness is very well, though Unico was not without some tragic points, especially since Unico wasn’t able to keep the friends he’s made as a result of being pursued by those jealous of Unico’s power. Wander, being the perpetual optimist that he is, told Unico that no matter what happens, there will always be someone who can have their problems solved, befriended in the process, and become happy thanks to how much and how Unico has traveled throughout his adventures. Unico was moved by Wander’s words and became great friends with him, tagging along with Wander and Sylvia on their adventures whenever he can.
**Adventuring with Wander and Sylvia has given Unico a sense of just how big the Pantheon really was. It was through these journeys that Unico met others who Wander took a great liking towards such as Pichu and Togepi, both of whom are Pokemon who are very young and share a similar light-hearted attitude like Unico. In particular, Togepi can detect happiness and is able to evolve to stronger forms if it develops a strong bond with its owner, a kind of variant of Unico being able to use his full power towards those who have become great friends with the little unicorn. However, these adventures led Unico to discover a fair amount of darker things tied to his ability to provide happiness, with one of these bigger issues coming from Screwball Jones, arguably the only entity who Wander despises due to the banana wanting to forcibly spread happiness towards others. During an adventure to thwart a plot carried out by the banana, Unico noted that the so-called “happiness” Screwball is trying to spread isn’t real happiness and after the plot was foiled, the unicorn was dismayed to learn that there were entities capable of corrupting the concept of happiness and that deep down, those who were “happy” really weren’t.
*Lady Amalthea was someone who Unico developed a strong bond with thanks to going through tragic, though different, circumstances much like he did. While Unico went through many different locations to avoid the gods’ wrath and was unable to make permanent friends because of it, Amalthea learned that she was supposedly the last of her kind and after temporarily getting transformed into a human, discovered human emotions such as regret and learned to live with such emotions after bidding farewell to her friends. In a number of ways, Unico saw Amalthea as a sort of big sister to him when it came to dealing with hardships of a unicorn and she is more than welcoming of his company, especially since Unico does have the power to bring genuine happiness to those who meet him.
*Equestria was a place that Unico was more than eager to visit given how unicorns and other equines live there and the major residents of that world enamored him as well. The adventures of The Mane Six, which included Twilight Sparkle who initially didn’t have any friends before making some and using ThePowerOfFriendship to solve problems, were the kinds of stories Unico liked and has made a number of visits to the place to hang out with Twilight Sparkle and her friends. Some of the group’s adventures and the feats friendship was able to accomplish such as reforming Starlight Glimmer, who was formerly an enemy of The Mane Six with quite a bit of baggage after realizing the damage she was going to cause and after changing for the better, vowed to not make the same mistakes she made back then, gave Unico more of a reason to try and use friendship to solve the problems of others in the Pantheon, something that Twilight Sparkle and the rest of The Mane Six, plus Starlight Glimmer, approved of. That said, The Mane Six and their friends have encountered their share of enemies who couldn’t be redeemed and while that dismayed Unico, it was something he kept in mind should he encounter those kinds of villains or worse.
*Unico ended up finding himself in a dream-like setting that looked familiar at first glance, but there were a few things wrong present that Unico noticed. As he traversed that landscape, he found himself being pursued by what appeared to be dark shadows of the gods who had banished him in the past, followed by the Night Wind. Those illusions quickly dissipated thanks to a figure known as Klonoa, who has journeyed across many different dream worlds to set things right. Klonoa was very understanding of Unico’s plight as like the unicorn, Klonoa was unable to keep the friends he makes after solving their problems, not to mention that they generally aren’t able to keep the memories of those experiences after leaving. The Pantheon being able to offer the two more proper friendships with various other characters played a role in Unico and Klonoa becoming friends and providing support for each other in their adventures.
*Knowing what it’s like to want friends despite certain circumstances, Unico was able to get along with other deities who shared a similar mindset as him when it comes to friendships such as Sid the Sloth and Donkey. Sid was viewed by his family as a burden, resulting in him wanting some friends and later finding them in the form of Manfred, Diego, and the rest of The Herd, including eventually finding a girlfriend in Brooke, while Donkey was seen as an annoyance by others and while that initially included Shrek (who Donkey was eager to be friends with), the ogre eventually welcomed Donkey’s company and Donkey himself found an unlikely wife in Dragon. Unico was happy to learn that these two individuals were able to overcome their problems in finding a friend and were part of their own groups of different, yet close companions and wished them well on their adventures, with the well-wishing being reciprocated by Sid and Donkey.
*Regardless of the number of irredeemable entities in the Pantheon, there were still plenty of characters in the Pantheon that have suffered from loneliness that Unico was willing to meet them and give them a form of companionship. The Groke was one such individual who had suffered from loneliness and while her time in the Pantheon helped mitigate that loneliness, Unico decided to meet her one night despite her frightening appearance, whereupon her presence was marked by a trail of ice she left behind. The Groke couldn’t help but notice a bit of the same positive attitude Moomintroll (who played a role in mitigating her loneliness) has in Unico and seeing how empathetic Unico is toward her, she was quite welcoming of him.
*Not only has Unico gone through adventures involving trying to make friends and saving them from trouble, but he has gone through a handful of adventures that involved keeping the environment safe from harm. The Pantheon featured a lot of settings with a serene landscape with a good number of them being threatened by those who seek to turn these particular places into ecologically damaging workplaces or wastelands for their own benefit. Mr. Burns was among those individuals who has shown a callous disregard for the environment and has considered setting up more power plants in different areas around the Pantheon, and despite him showing some moments of kindness on occasion, they don’t happen often and Unico’s attempts to try and befriend him based such moments don’t work out, often resulting Unico having to stop whatever destructive construction Mr. Burns is trying to work on. Unico was told that Hexxus was one environmentally destructive deity that isn’t open to negotiations and while measures are in place to prevent Hexxus from bringing about ecological ruin to the Pantheon, Unico is willing to put a stop to Hexxus’ potential havoc should someone try to unleash him. Unico's willingness to protect the environment has put him in good graces among those who greatly respect nature and if he isn’t busy helping mitigate the loneliness of others, chances are he’ll work alongside other protectors of the environment in making sure the world doesn’t become a polluted wasteland.

* Opposed by: The Ascended Avengers
* Additional Relationships: [[Pantheon/RacialAppearances Piotr Nikolaievitch Rasputin/Colossus]] (her brother)
* Illyana Rasputin served as Kitty Pryde's Herald. Now, thanks to Kitty, Hope, and Doctor Strange, she has joined the Pantheon. She arrived by portal, where she was greeted by the deities responsible for her ascension.
* Illyana is the younger sister of Piotr 'Colossus' Rasputin. And her backstory is...quite dark. While living with the X-Men, Belasco the Corrupted kidnapped her and made her his student in the art of magic and sorcery [[YearInsideHourOutside for seven years (while only seconds passed on Earth)]], during which she also manifested her mutant powers, which allows her to create and mentally control 'stepping discs,' allowing her to teleport her and others across distances or even through time. The discs themselves are part of Limbo, more specially 'Demonic Limbo' or 'Otherplace.' And unfortunately, [[AxCrazy her time in Limbo made her into a borderline sociopath]]. Her experience in Libmo involved 3/5 of her soul being corrupted by dark magic, after all.
** This is why she ''cannot stand'' [[Pantheon/CyberneticsAndEnhancements Dr. Gero]] after finding out what he did to [[Pantheon/{{Siblings}} two runaway twin siblings named Lapis and Lazuli]], as she considers him no different than Belasco besides using technology.
* Darkchylde is [[SuperpoweredEvilSide Illyana's dark half]], brought out by the Beyonder. The major changes seen are the demon-esque horns and the tail. Kitty managed to use Illyana's Soulsword to revert her back to normal, but Illyana still has to resist the urge to transform back into her dark half from time to time.
* Aside from her mutant powers and her sorcery, her [[WeaponOfChoice signature weapon]] is the Soulsword. The Soulsword was created during Magik's seven-year stint in Limbo from her own life energy, in which the Soulsword was formed. The sword was an ordinary one when created, but over time, it had developed more intricate designs and forms whenever Illyana wielded it. On top of that, the Soulsword becomes even more powerful whenever Illyana uses it. Illyana's favorite form of Soulsword is the signature broadsword design. The sword is lethal to magic-based beings, but for humans and mutants, it just knocks them unconscious, as Black Widow found out when both her and Magik threw down.
* Despite [[ComicBook/AvengersVsXMen on opposing sides in regards to Hope Summers]], Illyana has nothing but respect and admiration towards Stephen Strange. Despite being the Sorceress Supreme of Limbo, she has been training under him, to better control her powers.
* Gotten into a fight with Dante and Vergil who had mistaken her for a demon from Limbo (pretty funny, seeing as how she is the Sorceress Supreme of Limbo). After wrecking half of her temple, Illyana explained to both men of her origins and of her connection to Limbo. The sons of Sparda offered their apologies and helped Magik rebuild her temple. The brothers maintain a friendly rivalry with Magik.
* The last time both Illyana and Black Widow fought, [[ComicBook/AvengersVsXMen Illyana ran her through with Soulsword]]. Fortunately, the attack had only immobilized Natasha. Now, the Black Widow is looking for some payback.
* Spends time inside the House of Weapons, primarily under the tutelage of Cloud Strife and Jack Rakan in order to learn how to effectively wield Soulsword whilst in its broadsword form. She's also made friends within this house and found another worthy opponent in Jetstream Sam.
* Magik loathes Sosuke Aizen and the feeling is mutual. He believes that he should be the one leading Limbo. Magik thinks otherwise. Plus, he talks too much when he fights.
* Storm had this to say about Magik: "She was burdened by demons not of her own making, yet she remained an angel at her core."
* She's come into contact with other powerful wizards in the pantheon. From the House of Weapons the "Titania" easily impressed her as she felt Erza might be a worthy foe if they should every engage in conflict. She also got along well with Natsu from the House of Anger despite his behavior seeming odd to her. She got a weird feeling that they had a lot more in common...[[spoiler: as they were both transformed into demons]].
* Illyana formerly presided over the Children's wing in the House of Family, but holds back from visiting her old house as much as she'd like to as she tends to get confused for Illyasviel von Einzbern a bit too much for her liking, or Illya's, for that matter. They hold no ill will towards each other personally, though, in fact, they get along quite nicely.

'''[[Franchise/{{Rambo}} John James Rambo]], God of ThePerilsOfBeingTheBest'''
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/sylvester-stallone1.jpg]]
* Lesser God
* Alignment: TrueNeutral, bordering on ChaoticNeutral
* Themes: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kTPO3Q5DJrE It's a Long Road]] ([[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E_UU20ljrsg Instrumental]]) and the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kbdpdr4u2fU Theme from Rambo II]]

* Avatar: [[Pantheon/TheatricPerformers Sylvester Stallone]]
* Herald: Colonel Trautman
* Allies: [[Pantheon/TheatricNarrative Rocky Balboa]], [[Pantheon/InvestigativeWork Solid Snake]], [[Pantheon/SocialAndRecreationalWork Katniss Everdeen]]
* Complicated Relationship: [[Pantheon/ClothingTheme Frank Castle/The Punisher]], [[Pantheon/{{Fathers}} Red Forman]]
* Enemies: [[Pantheon/{{War}} Gunnery Sgt. Hartman, Colonel Kilgore]], all Communist deities
* Once Rocky ascended, Sylvester Stallone campaigned to get the character who basically earned him his Deity status for Action Heroes. With [[Pantheon/{{Headwear}} Marcus Fenix]] already holding the post for bandana users, the Pantheon decided to recognize how in spite of just wanting to retire in peace after all he suffered, Rambo is always brought back for another mission.
* Prefers to be left alone, lest he's forced into battle again. And we all know barely anyone or anything survives a Rambo rampage.
* Among the few friends he has made are Rocky, a more peaceful and unarmed version of himself, and two fellow traumatized combatants unwillingly brought back into the battlefield, Solid Snake, who also dealt with black ops (albeit ones with lower body counts), and Katniss Everdeen, who even convinced Rambo to join the Pantheon's archery competitions.
* He has found common ground with The Punisher, who is also a lethal ShellShockedVeteran, but they have had their share of differences given Frank Castle actively seeks battle.
* Deeply dislikes Sgt. Hartman and Col. Kilgore, walking reminders of Vietnam - with the former also bringing to Rambo's mind the nasty cops that made him [[Film/FirstBlood destroy a whole Arizona city]].
* Given he [[Film/RamboFirstBloodPartII once fell for a Vietnamese insurgent]], is always amused to see Asian goddesses who are fierce soldiers - specially given that in the Pantheon, said women are also prone to [[SmallGirlBigGun carry humongous weaponry]].
** On the other hand, seeing [[Film/RamboLastBlood a surrogate daughter killed by Mexican criminals]] makes him wary of deities that hail from SouthOfTheBorder (and unpopular among them as well, given they didn't like both the stereotypes and the brutality inflicted\received by Mexicans).
* Please, don't mention how the soldiers he [[Film/RamboIII fought alongside in Afghanistan]] [[HarsherInHindsight probably joined the Taliban and caused 9\11]]. He has enough tragedy in his mind already.
** Speaking of Afghanistan, given Red Forman reminded him of [[Creator/KurtwoodSmith Robert Griggs]], Rambo decided to have a talk with him. While Red's grumpy personality often drives him away, Rambo is respected for being a fellow war veteran who wants some peace and Red often invites him to his temple.
* Even having [[Film/RamboIV previously]] handled snakes, he prefers not to deal with the giant ones like in the House of Reptiles.
* While he is less than amused at having been [[WesternAnimation/RamboTheForceOfFreedom the inspiration for a saturday morning cartoon]], Rambo at least likes how the animated version prefers to use violence as a last resort.
* Ever since his addition to ''Videogame/MortalKombat11'', Rambo has received much respect for his fighting skills against much stronger Kombatants, though he refuses to take part in Pantheon rematches because he's unsure on whether he can perform at that level outside the game.

* Conflicting Opinion: [[Pantheon/RidingAndControl Chosokabe Motochika]] (is actually close friends with the [[VideoGame/SamuraiWarriors shamisen-player Koei version]])
* Although she was personally not very lonely at all, Karen's past experience as a lonely soul enabled her to be elevated in the ranks of the Pantheon on the recommendation of Nagisa and Honoka (ontop of helping defeat the Nightmare and Eternal group). Karen's job is to soothe the loneliness of those who are rich and hopefully make them get past it by getting friends. She'll offer as the first friend too.
** Her entrance was a little rocky as well. She thought she received the invitation to the Pantheon itself. When she approached the gates of the Pantheon, she was instead ''refused'' and booted out, as it was said that the invitation was ''fake'', sending Karen into depression. The ''Yes!'' Cures still in mortal realm encouraged her to keep trying, and the Pantheon found out that the fake invitation was the machination of Terumi to {{Troll}} her with lines like "[[MemeticMutation Forever Alone]]" after learning what she would achieve. After difficulties were taken care of, Karen was finally permitted.
* She knew one day this would come to an end, but Karen is the first ''Yes!'' Cure to ever embrace the proper Pantheon. She eagerly waits that she won't be the only one (Considering that Rin Natsuki and Komachi Akimoto have been spotted in the Academy). Before that, she would content herself with the new friends she made in the Pantheon.
* She excels in medical studies. She learned a lot from various Gods that knew the arts of healing and respected them all, but Karen mostly favored and hung around with Litchi Faye-Ling a lot, as not only she was the one who helped solve the difficulty of her entrance at first (along with Mami Tomoe), Karen considered her like [[ParentalSubstitute a substitute mother figure]] considering her mortal mother (that she still loved and respected) rarely visit her.
** During spare times, she tends to lock herself inside a room and held on her hand a spare [[Pantheon/{{Treasures}} Miracle Light]] she found, occasionally waving at it with hope. A lot thought it was because she's getting lonely herself, but in truth [[spoiler:she's praying for a miracle, secretly sharing the item with other Precures that share her sentiments, so that everything will go well with Litchi's questionable status. Karen is unsure if this will surely fix things, but she felt that she has to try regardless.]]
* Whenever she enters the Food Pantheon and leaves it, you can be assured that they will lose at least [[TrademarkFavoriteFood one bottle of grape juice]].
* Although it wasn't uttered often, calling Karen '[[MaamShock Babaa]]' is not recommended, she's not too pleased with it.
* Has a personal horse named Charlie, who may not be as great as [[Manga/FistOfTheNorthStar Koku-Oh]], but Karen deeply cared for the horse, and the horse often came to her as her stead in battle. Naturally, she didn't take it well when Handsome Jack called the name 'lame' and offers to rename it as 'Butt Stallion II', causing Karen to flood him away.
* Her house is [[BigFancyHouse amongst the biggest and fanciest in the Pantheon]].
* Contrary to her portfolio, Karen understood that the House of Commerce aren't always problematic. But she does understand that it tends to make several lonely people because of their immense wealth, that's where she comes in. In a way, it makes her similar to Yuri Tsukikage, fixing the problems her portfolio represents.
** Though she does keep an eye against Looten Plunder, as his selfish motivations for richness are really promoting things Karen stood against. Not to mention, she along with her friends have fought not just one, but two evil world-destroying corporates.
** She ran into Charlotte Labouf during one of her trips and the two got along splendidly over gumbo, beignets and fairy tales. Charlotte truly supports Karen's goals in helping lonely girls to obtain friends and is wiling to work with alongside her.
* She also discovered Litchi's secret of getting drunk when no one's looking. Although she got her to agree not to drink, Karen got roped into playing 'dress ups'. While she agreed, she's secretly thinking of how to come up with a cute dress that fit Litchi's size without flaunting her wealth... something that she's contacting Charlotte for help.
* She had a nightmare of Litchi leaving her and going back to her old obsessed self, leaving her in complete depression like she did when she was stuck in a Nightmare Mask. Fortunately, the nightmare was broken when Litchi woke her up and told her that she managed to redeem herself and is welcomed back amongst the proper Pantheon. Karen has nothing to say but a congratulations.
** Is... less than fond of the ascension of Arakune due to the fact that she remembers from her nightmares that he was the reason why Ms. Litchi left her and had to work for the bad guys. Despite that, she respect Litchi's decisions regarding him and will help her cure him if possible, thus she wouldn't exactly 'oppose' him, but merely drive him away without killing him when he wreaks havoc.
** Eventually, these feelings would thrust her head on into the Morality Civil War, with her being one of Litchi's most steadfast friend and defender, to the point that she harbored intense dislike to Kokonoe Mercury for brushing off Litchi without even caring about her conditions and claiming that her idea is the best idea to deal with Litchi. This is to the point that Karen started getting creeped out that she found herself edging with the slippery slope against Kokonoe…
** By the end of it, the War ended and the Pantheon has given official statement that Litchi was to be forgiven. Karen was one of the first beings to wait at Litchi's house and gave her a hug, along with others.
* Freed Jay Gatsby from The Fallen by accepting his money. She even managed to bring him to the same house as her.
* Akin to another Pretty Cure member, it seems nowadays Karen has befriended another historical figure: [[Pantheon/RidingAndControl Chousokabe Motochika]] (the [[VideoGame/SamuraiWarriors shamisen-player]], mind you). When they've first met, Motochika was strumming his shamisen in peace, and Karen was attracted to his music due to being well-aware of fine talent in that field. He then talked with her for a while about their water motifs, and played her a [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kXhcPQxAqDY song of some sort]] regarding [[ScrewDestiny his stance in life]]. It touched her, especially with their possible ways to relate to each other somewhat.
** When Karen was shocked to find out that he was ''the Chousokabe Motochika, ruler of Shikoku'', she was at a loss for words. But in the end, they ended up as close friends.
*** It turns out, fellow gods are pointing out that the reason why they seem close to each other is that [[Creator/AiMaeda their respective]] [[Creator/RyotaroOkiayu voices]] are somehow...''[[RelationshipVoiceActor married]]'' to each other. The Capcom-big brother-version is confused on the matter, even if he does understand the reasons behind it.
*** On that end, [[Pantheon/{{Consumption}} Sima Shi]] who also has a similar voice to Motochika, has also opened her eyes on the other side of [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Db8R8M6ttMc defying fate where instead was merely accepting said fate]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-aUq8Gdpdqg while also somewhat trusting it to guide you]]. Right now under the guidance of the Koei-version of Oichi ([[Creator/AiMaeda who has a similar voice to Karen]]), is teaching her to find the song that fits perfectly alongside those voices.
*** Is also starting to get along with [[Pantheon/HeroicArchetypes Ze]][[Pantheon/NamingTheme r]][[VideoGame/MegaManX o]], mainly as a battle partner. The sadness they each both have suffered from seems to also tie them both together.
* Can also be found in Pantheon/PovertyAndRiches.

* You know Dasher and Dancer, and Prancer and Vixen. Comet and Cupid, and Donner and Blitzen. ''[[{{Tagline}} But do you recall... the most famous reindeer of all?]]'' Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer''[[note]][[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reindeer Rangifer tarandus]][[/note]]'', as his name implies, was born with a shiny [[GagNose red nose.]] So bright in fact, that people would even say it glows. While his parents tried to hide it from public eyes, his unique snout was soon discovered and turned Rudolph into a laughing stock. AllOfTheOtherReindeer in the North Pole [[https://youtu.be/f1u7lHSMoIU?t=1065 mocked and humiliated the poor fawn.]] They called him cruel names and wouldn't let them play in their reindeer games. Even Santa himself acted incredibly jerkish towards him. Time soon passed, and a terrible storm engulfed the North Pole, not letting up even as Christmas Eve approached. Santa was close to cancelling the holiday altogether... until he realized something. He approached the now-adult Rudolph and asked, "Rudolph with your nose so bright, won't you guide my sleigh tonight?" [[SavingChristmas And he did.]] With his nose piercing through the fog and mist, Rudolph led the way around the world and allowing Santa to deliver the presents on time. Christmas was saved, and the reindeer changed their attitude. They came to love him and cheered with glee, that Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer would go down in history.
* Rudolph ascended to the Pantheon alongside Santa during one particular holiday season. A strong winter storm rolled over the entire Pantheon, causing mass concern over whether or not Christmas would come at all. All hope seemed lost, when, hidden in the fog and snow, a red light was spotted. The deities, both young and old, knew instantly who the light belonged to, with the younger ones cheering as Rudolph led Santa's sleigh through the blizzard, delivering presents as they went. Christmas had been saved once more, with Santa and Rudolph being given temples and titles within the Pantheon as thank you for their efforts.
** Santa and Rudolph share a temple, leading back to Christmas Town, better known as the North Pole. It is a quaint little area, with the Claus' and their elves living on the first castle on the left. '''[[note]]Matter of fact, the only castle on the left.[[/note]]''' The reindeer either live in the castle's stables or in the nearby caves. Business goes on as usual in preparations for December 24th, so should one ever visit, don't be surprised by all the elves and reindeer working and practicing.
* The version of Rudolph seen in the Pantheon hails from a [[WesternAnimation/RudolphTheRedNosedReindeer bizarre timeline]], where he, the son of Donner, ran away from home and travelled with an aspiring elf dentist named Hermey and Canadian prospector Yukon Cornelius to an island of misfit toys, confronting the Abominable Snow Monster, and eventually saving his family from said monster. However, his appearance tends to fluctuate from time to time; sometimes he looks like an adult and other times he reverts into a young fawn. As well, his origins are often thrown into question. Some claim he [[WesternAnimation/RudolphTheRedNosedReindeer1998 was born to Blitzen, and was rivals with his cousin, Arrow]], while others say [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o4b9Q7YdDdM his story was more simplistic.]] He will transform into these alternate forms occasionally, but he is most comfortable in his stop-motion body. Besides, it allowed for Hermey, Yukon and fellow reindeer Clarice to arrive as Heralds.
* Rudolph's love for Christmas is an absolute given and he was surprised to learn there were many other deities associated with the holidays living in the Pantheon. Luckily for him, most of them are on good terms with the reindeer. Besides the Santa and Mrs. Claus he's most familiar with, Rudolph came to work alongside the Guardian, Nicolas Saint North, the young idols Hijiri Mochizuki and Eve Santaclaus, the Ghosts of Christmas Past, Present and Yet To Come. They all do their duties to spread Christmas cheer and joy to the Pantheon and to the Worlds, with Rudolph always leading the way with his nose lighting the darkness.
** Initially, Rudolph had a difficult time trusting Ebeneezer Scrooge, Jack Skellington and The Grinch, due to their previous attempts to take over, sabotage or simply disregard Christmas altogether. Not to mention the latter two having dogs (Zero and Max) that they used in roles similar to reindeer. Then the young buck discovered their histories, learning how all three went through epiphanies and changed their ways to cherish the holiday season. Nowadays, Rudolph will occasionally enlist their help to spread Christmas cheer to the Pantheon... while keeping Jack from stealing the show.
* One Christmas Eve, Rudolph and Santa met three (former) homeless folks from Japan, named Gin, Hana and Miyuki, and witnessed their story of helping reunite an abandoned baby with her parents. Santa noted the trio's incredible luck on their journey and kindness to the child and decided to give them a place in the Pantheon. Rudolph often stops by the check up on them and even invite them to the North Pole to help in the festivities.
* Rudolph knows first-hand how it felt being ostracized for his differences and has gone about the Pantheon making friends with others like him. He is close to Naruto Uzumaki since the two were picked on in their childhood before earning the respect of others after saving them. He's also friends with Dumbo, often flying alongside the big-eared elephant during the holidays and helping Santa, The imaginative, Canadian red-head Anne Shirley, and the Fire Nation born circus performer Ty Lee, who took to the reindeer almost instantly, even praising him for using his gifts for good. The more cynical deities often make fun of these friendships, considering the red-nosed reindeer and company a bunch of mismatched misfits and freaks. Rudolph and the others don't really care for their opinions. Friends stick together no matter what, after all. He also became close to Haruka Kotoura and was heartbroken when he heard how she couldn't control her telepathic power, causing major issues. Haruka was surprised to find out that she could read Rudolph's mind despite being an animal. She's actually ok with it because most times, his mind is filled with sugar plums, fairies, Christmas and [[OfficialCouple Clarice.]]
** Despite this, Rudolph does have limits. He once heard of the dealings of the Diclonius, Lucy. While he did feel sorry for her at first, once he heard about the [[HarmfulToMinors end result of her bullying]] he felt sick to his stomach. He avoids interacting or even being near her.
* Rudolph's not exactly a big fan of bullies due to his own experiences being picked on. He initially frowned at Shoya Ishida and his bullying of his deaf classmate Shoko Nishimiya, as well as distrusting the young Katsuki Bakugo for him picking on the young Izuku Midoriya, which reminded Rudolph of his cousin Arrow. After hearing about the two bullies going through their [[HeelFaceTurn own major changes]], Rudolph tried to interact with them a bit more. Shoya and Shoko are on good terms with the flying deer, though Bakugo wishes not to be pitied by the deer.
* His journey to the Island of Misfit Toys and meeting its forgotten inhabitants came back to Rudolph's memory when he encountered an equally bizarre group of sentient toys in the Pantheon; led by a cowboy doll named Woody and a spaceman action figure named Buzz Lightyear. The toys had their own experiences with being lost, forgotten and eventually finding new owners, so they connected quickly with the red-nosed reindeer. They even travelled to the island to help other forgotten toys find new owners to play with and cherish.
* Not long after ascending, Rudolph found friends in the Pantheon's other resident hoofstock. In particular, the white-tailed deer Bambi, former farm cow-turned-reindeer Annabelle, and the Legendary Pokémon, Xerneas, who is sometimes spotted in the forests surrounding the Arctic, its multi-coloured antlers glowing with the aurora borealis. He was also happy to meet the blue-nosed reindeer Tony Chopper, although he was initially weirded out by his small size and strange appearance. All four have come by the North Pole from time to time, with Bambi bringing his own friends, Thumper the rabbit and Flower the skunk, to enjoy the Christmas festivities. They all, however, know to stay away from the ruthless goat Grogar, who isn't quite up for the holiday joy, happiness and... you know, ''being nice whatsoever.''
** Speaking of deer, Rudolph encountered a strange woman named [=ViVi=], a member of a K-Pop girl group called LOOΠΔ. She was considered an oddball due to her being an android, not to mention being from Hong Kong. Despite this, Rudolph began talking with her, at the urging of her fellow idols. It turned out that she was a friendly individual, even revealing that her [[AnimalMotifs symbolic animal]] was a deer, which made things all the more perfect. From then on out, Rudolph often stops by to check up on the singer and dancer, even inviting her to the North Pole to hang out. On one such occasion, [=ViVi=] came over to Rudolph and called him cute. His response was to leap into the air and shout;
--> '''Rudolph:''' ''I'm Cute! I'm Cute! She said I'm cute!''
* [[WesternAnimation/RudolphAndFrostysChristmasInJuly One time]], Rudolph and his friend Frosty the Snowman had a run-in with an evil winter warlock called Winterbolt, who once tried to use them in his plan to destroy Santa. After that, the young reindeer has remained cautious around similar ice-controlling beings, as well as a revived Winterbolt, who continues to haunt the Pantheon. He's wary of Lissandra and The Night's King, both of whom want to plunge the Pantheon into a long and unforgiving winter. To that end, Rudolph found new help with Jon Snow, the former King in the North having a bit of experience in dealing with wights and White Walkers. He also befriended the time-travelling warrior Lucina, following a scenario similar to [[WesternAnimation/RudolphsShinyNewYear when the reindeer had to save the New Year.]]
** He actually feels sorry for Ice King, however, due to his tragic past. He can't really imagine what it's like to be that insane.
* Rudolph became good friends with Queen Anna, her older sister Elsa and the living snowman Olaf. The former initially was a tough sell, due to her cryokinetic powers, but then they started talking. He learned of Elsa having to hide her talent under her parent's instructions, just as his parents once did, as well as being ostricized by the public once it was discovered. Elsa often makes it her duty to provide a white Christmas for the Pantheon, and is more than happy to help Rudolph by keeping the worst storms at bay. Anna meanwhile loves to prepare and throw extravagant parties around the holiday season, and she likes to invite Rudolph over to entertain the kids, not to mention giving another reindeer friend to her fiance Kristoff and his faithful caribou Sven. As for Olaf? Rudolph gets along with him because, in a way, he reminds the deer a great deal of Frosty the Snowman.
* He once had a nasty run-in with the Wendigo, a flesh-eating monster whose sharp teeth and piercing call reminded the buck of the Abominable Snow Monster of the North. Luckily for the reindeer, he was saved by Braum, who reminded Rudolph of Yukon Cornelius. However, after hearing that the Wendigo was actually [[spoiler: a girl who was forced to eat her dead sister's body]], Rudolph was both saddened and disgusted. He also stays clear of the. Rudolph is also incredibly disturbed by SCP-4666, due to its sadistic brutality towards naughty children, Spooky the ghost, who murdered Santa on one occasion, and Robot Santa, who often attacks people on Christmas regardless if they're naughty or nice.
* There are many rumours surrounding Rudolph. Some claim to have seen Rudolph [[WesternAnimation/JohnnyBravo shooting laser beams]] out of his shining red nose, while others heard he was [[Series/WhoseLineIsItAnyway hit by a 747 and a flock of seagulls while flying over Barcelona.]] Rudolph has denied these claims, citing that the instigators probably drank too much eggnog and just hallucinated it. But eyewitnesses were quick to report that the reindeer in Spain was hit mainly by the plane.

* Opposes: {{Gold Digger}}s, like [[Pantheon/CommercialAttitude Anise Tatlin]]
* Gatsby, a man who built his riches to be able to win over a girl he met while on service. Unfortunately for him, he wasn't able to win her over as she was only a GoldDigger who would rather stay with a cheating husband and be secure. He also found out too late that his wealth had ultimately brought him no fulfillment as he had only one true friend.
** This sent him to The Fallen for a while as a result, but Karen Minazuki managed to ascend him to the Pantheon proper by accepting his money.
* Rumored to actually be [[Pantheon/LoveInterests Jack Dawson]] who [[http://i0.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/original/000/550/989/bf4.jpg survived his drowning]]. Some have even gone further and said he is actually slave owner [[Pantheon/{{Categorism}} Calvin J. Candies]] and is really immortal. Jay denies all these rumors.
* Was a bit perplexed when he saw how Romeo sometimes [[Film/WilliamShakespearesRomeoAndJuliet looks like him]]. Ignoring that, he became friends with him. Some say they do make good friends as they were both foolish men who ruined their own lives over love.
* When she heard of the title he was ascended for, Pollyanna tried to lift his spirits. Gatsby did appreciate the effort, even if it only made him a bit happier.
* Well known for his outrageous parties, although Gatsby vowed never to do something so outlandish ever again since no one from said parties came to his funeral. [[Pantheon/{{Happiness}} Pinkie Pie]] didn't get the notice as she threw him a party—that could rival his own—when he made his proper place in the pantheon. But he did thank her, and the Avatars of Friendship, for cheering him up and helping to share his wealth amongst others.
* Desperate to be a millionaire just so he could impress his crush, he was able to be one by bootlegging, becoming a criminal. [[DownerEnding It was all for naught]], thus making people feel sympathetic and sorry for hiim.
* Gain an odd friendship with Peter Parker. Or maybe it's a desperate friendship for Gatsby as he mentioned how much Parker reminds him of his only friend Nick Carraway.
* Despite Gatsby's criminal past, Bruce Wayne sympathizes for his lonely end as in [[WesternAnimation/BatmanBeyond one reality]], Bruce would end mostly alone.
* Sympathized with Niko Bellic since he found common ground with him like both being soldiers who wanted to get rich but pay dearly for it in the end. For Gatsby, it was his life. Niko? [[spoiler:Either his cousin or his girlfriend's life]].
* Doesn't take too kindly to any {{gold digger}}s in the Pantheon. Considering he wasted his life to please one, who can blame him?
* Some have consider Gatsby as being the total opposite in life to George Bailey. While Bailey worked his entire life to make something of himself but didn't, he ended up a much richer man with a wife, kids, friends and family and was a happier man. Compare that to Gatsby, who became a criminal to become rich but ending up alone with few friends and not getting the girl he sought after his entire life. Some believe that Jay might envy George's life.

* Opposed by: The Ascended Avengers
* Additional Relationships: [[Pantheon/RacialAppearances Piotr Nikolaievitch Rasputin/Colossus]] (her brother)
* Illyana Rasputin served as Kitty Pryde's Herald. Now, thanks to Kitty, Hope, and Doctor Strange, she has joined the Pantheon. She arrived by portal, where she was greeted by the deities responsible for her ascension.
* Illyana is the younger sister of Piotr 'Colossus' Rasputin. And her backstory is...quite dark. While living with the X-Men, Belasco the Corrupted kidnapped her and made her his student in the art of magic and sorcery [[YearInsideHourOutside for seven years (while only seconds passed on Earth)]], during which she also manifested her mutant powers, which allows her to create and mentally control 'stepping discs,' allowing her to teleport her and others across distances or even through time. The discs themselves are part of Limbo, more specially 'Demonic Limbo' or 'Otherplace.' And unfortunately, [[AxCrazy her time in Limbo made her into a borderline sociopath]]. Her experience in Libmo involved 3/5 of her soul being corrupted by dark magic, after all.
** This is why she ''cannot stand'' [[Pantheon/CyberneticsAndEnhancements Dr. Gero]] after finding out what he did to [[Pantheon/{{Siblings}} two runaway twin siblings named Lapis and Lazuli]], as she considers him no different than Belasco besides using technology.
* Darkchylde is [[SuperpoweredEvilSide Illyana's dark half]], brought out by the Beyonder. The major changes seen are the demon-esque horns and the tail. Kitty managed to use Illyana's Soulsword to revert her back to normal, but Illyana still has to resist the urge to transform back into her dark half from time to time.
* Aside from her mutant powers and her sorcery, her [[WeaponOfChoice signature weapon]] is the Soulsword. The Soulsword was created during Magik's seven-year stint in Limbo from her own life energy, in which the Soulsword was formed. The sword was an ordinary one when created, but over time, it had developed more intricate designs and forms whenever Illyana wielded it. On top of that, the Soulsword becomes even more powerful whenever Illyana uses it. Illyana's favorite form of Soulsword is the signature broadsword design. The sword is lethal to magic-based beings, but for humans and mutants, it just knocks them unconscious, as Black Widow found out when both her and Magik threw down.
* Despite [[ComicBook/AvengersVsXMen on opposing sides in regards to Hope Summers]], Illyana has nothing but respect and admiration towards Stephen Strange. Despite being the Sorceress Supreme of Limbo, she has been training under him, to better control her powers.
* Gotten into a fight with Dante and Vergil who had mistaken her for a demon from Limbo (pretty funny, seeing as how she is the Sorceress Supreme of Limbo). After wrecking half of her temple, Illyana explained to both men of her origins and of her connection to Limbo. The sons of Sparda offered their apologies and helped Magik rebuild her temple. The brothers maintain a friendly rivalry with Magik.
* The last time both Illyana and Black Widow fought, [[ComicBook/AvengersVsXMen Illyana ran her through with Soulsword]]. Fortunately, the attack had only immobilized Natasha. Now, the Black Widow is looking for some payback.
* Spends time inside the House of Weapons, primarily under the tutelage of Cloud Strife and Jack Rakan in order to learn how to effectively wield Soulsword whilst in its broadsword form. She's also made friends within this house and found another worthy opponent in Jetstream Sam.
* Magik loathes Sosuke Aizen and the feeling is mutual. He believes that he should be the one leading Limbo. Magik thinks otherwise. Plus, he talks too much when he fights.
* Storm had this to say about Magik: "She was burdened by demons not of her own making, yet she remained an angel at her core."
* She's come into contact with other powerful wizards in the pantheon. From the House of Weapons the "Titania" easily impressed her as she felt Erza might be a worthy foe if they should every engage in conflict. She also got along well with Natsu from the House of Anger despite his behavior seeming odd to her. She got a weird feeling that they had a lot more in common...[[spoiler: as they were both transformed into demons]].
* Illyana formerly presided over the Children's wing in the House of Family, but holds back from visiting her old house as much as she'd like to as she tends to get confused for Illyasviel von Einzbern a bit too much for her liking, or Illya's, for that matter. They hold no ill will towards each other personally, though, in fact, they get along quite nicely.

'''[[Franchise/{{Rambo}} John James Rambo]], God of ThePerilsOfBeingTheBest'''
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/sylvester-stallone1.jpg]]

* Avatar: [[Pantheon/TheatricPerformers Sylvester Stallone]]
* Herald: Colonel Trautman
* Allies: [[Pantheon/TheatricNarrative Rocky Balboa]], [[Pantheon/InvestigativeWork Solid Snake]], [[Pantheon/SocialAndRecreationalWork Katniss Everdeen]]
* Complicated Relationship: [[Pantheon/ClothingTheme Frank Castle/The Punisher]], [[Pantheon/{{Fathers}} Red Forman]]
* Enemies: [[Pantheon/{{War}} Gunnery Sgt. Hartman, Colonel Kilgore]], all Communist deities
* Once Rocky ascended, Sylvester Stallone campaigned to get the character who basically earned him his Deity status for Action Heroes. With [[Pantheon/{{Headwear}} Marcus Fenix]] already holding the post for bandana users, the Pantheon decided to recognize how in spite of just wanting to retire in peace after all he suffered, Rambo is always brought back for another mission.
* Prefers to be left alone, lest he's forced into battle again. And we all know barely anyone or anything survives a Rambo rampage.
* Among the few friends he has made are Rocky, a more peaceful and unarmed version of himself, and two fellow traumatized combatants unwillingly brought back into the battlefield, Solid Snake, who also dealt with black ops (albeit ones with lower body counts), and Katniss Everdeen, who even convinced Rambo to join the Pantheon's archery competitions.
* He has found common ground with The Punisher, who is also a lethal ShellShockedVeteran, but they have had their share of differences given Frank Castle actively seeks battle.
* Deeply dislikes Sgt. Hartman and Col. Kilgore, walking reminders of Vietnam - with the former also bringing to Rambo's mind the nasty cops that made him [[Film/FirstBlood destroy a whole Arizona city]].
* Given he [[Film/RamboFirstBloodPartII once fell for a Vietnamese insurgent]], is always amused to see Asian goddesses who are fierce soldiers - specially given that in the Pantheon, said women are also prone to [[SmallGirlBigGun carry humongous weaponry]].
** On the other hand, seeing [[Film/RamboLastBlood a surrogate daughter killed by Mexican criminals]] makes him wary of deities that hail from SouthOfTheBorder (and unpopular among them as well, given they didn't like both the stereotypes and the brutality inflicted\received by Mexicans).
* Please, don't mention how the soldiers he [[Film/RamboIII fought alongside in Afghanistan]] [[HarsherInHindsight probably joined the Taliban and caused 9\11]]. He has enough tragedy in his mind already.
** Speaking of Afghanistan, given Red Forman reminded him of [[Creator/KurtwoodSmith Robert Griggs]], Rambo decided to have a talk with him. While Red's grumpy personality often drives him away, Rambo is respected for being a fellow war veteran who wants some peace and Red often invites him to his temple.
* Even having [[Film/RamboIV previously]] handled snakes, he prefers not to deal with the giant ones like in the House of Reptiles.
* While he is less than amused at having been [[WesternAnimation/RamboTheForceOfFreedom the inspiration for a saturday morning cartoon]], Rambo at least likes how the animated version prefers to use violence as a last resort.
* Ever since his addition to ''Videogame/MortalKombat11'', Rambo has received much respect for his fighting skills against much stronger Kombatants, though he refuses to take part in Pantheon rematches because he's unsure on whether he can perform at that level outside the game.

* Conflicting Opinion: [[Pantheon/RidingAndControl Chosokabe Motochika]] (is actually close friends with the [[VideoGame/SamuraiWarriors shamisen-player Koei version]])
* Although she was personally not very lonely at all, Karen's past experience as a lonely soul enabled her to be elevated in the ranks of the Pantheon on the recommendation of Nagisa and Honoka (ontop of helping defeat the Nightmare and Eternal group). Karen's job is to soothe the loneliness of those who are rich and hopefully make them get past it by getting friends. She'll offer as the first friend too.
** Her entrance was a little rocky as well. She thought she received the invitation to the Pantheon itself. When she approached the gates of the Pantheon, she was instead ''refused'' and booted out, as it was said that the invitation was ''fake'', sending Karen into depression. The ''Yes!'' Cures still in mortal realm encouraged her to keep trying, and the Pantheon found out that the fake invitation was the machination of Terumi to {{Troll}} her with lines like "[[MemeticMutation Forever Alone]]" after learning what she would achieve. After difficulties were taken care of, Karen was finally permitted.
* She knew one day this would come to an end, but Karen is the first ''Yes!'' Cure to ever embrace the proper Pantheon. She eagerly waits that she won't be the only one (Considering that Rin Natsuki and Komachi Akimoto have been spotted in the Academy). Before that, she would content herself with the new friends she made in the Pantheon.
* She excels in medical studies. She learned a lot from various Gods that knew the arts of healing and respected them all, but Karen mostly favored and hung around with Litchi Faye-Ling a lot, as not only she was the one who helped solve the difficulty of her entrance at first (along with Mami Tomoe), Karen considered her like [[ParentalSubstitute a substitute mother figure]] considering her mortal mother (that she still loved and respected) rarely visit her.
** During spare times, she tends to lock herself inside a room and held on her hand a spare [[Pantheon/{{Treasures}} Miracle Light]] she found, occasionally waving at it with hope. A lot thought it was because she's getting lonely herself, but in truth [[spoiler:she's praying for a miracle, secretly sharing the item with other Precures that share her sentiments, so that everything will go well with Litchi's questionable status. Karen is unsure if this will surely fix things, but she felt that she has to try regardless.]]
* Whenever she enters the Food Pantheon and leaves it, you can be assured that they will lose at least [[TrademarkFavoriteFood one bottle of grape juice]].
* Although it wasn't uttered often, calling Karen '[[MaamShock Babaa]]' is not recommended, she's not too pleased with it.
* Has a personal horse named Charlie, who may not be as great as [[Manga/FistOfTheNorthStar Koku-Oh]], but Karen deeply cared for the horse, and the horse often came to her as her stead in battle. Naturally, she didn't take it well when Handsome Jack called the name 'lame' and offers to rename it as 'Butt Stallion II', causing Karen to flood him away.
* Her house is [[BigFancyHouse amongst the biggest and fanciest in the Pantheon]].
* Contrary to her portfolio, Karen understood that the House of Commerce aren't always problematic. But she does understand that it tends to make several lonely people because of their immense wealth, that's where she comes in. In a way, it makes her similar to Yuri Tsukikage, fixing the problems her portfolio represents.
** Though she does keep an eye against Looten Plunder, as his selfish motivations for richness are really promoting things Karen stood against. Not to mention, she along with her friends have fought not just one, but two evil world-destroying corporates.
** She ran into Charlotte Labouf during one of her trips and the two got along splendidly over gumbo, beignets and fairy tales. Charlotte truly supports Karen's goals in helping lonely girls to obtain friends and is wiling to work with alongside her.
* She also discovered Litchi's secret of getting drunk when no one's looking. Although she got her to agree not to drink, Karen got roped into playing 'dress ups'. While she agreed, she's secretly thinking of how to come up with a cute dress that fit Litchi's size without flaunting her wealth... something that she's contacting Charlotte for help.
* She had a nightmare of Litchi leaving her and going back to her old obsessed self, leaving her in complete depression like she did when she was stuck in a Nightmare Mask. Fortunately, the nightmare was broken when Litchi woke her up and told her that she managed to redeem herself and is welcomed back amongst the proper Pantheon. Karen has nothing to say but a congratulations.
** Is... less than fond of the ascension of Arakune due to the fact that she remembers from her nightmares that he was the reason why Ms. Litchi left her and had to work for the bad guys. Despite that, she respect Litchi's decisions regarding him and will help her cure him if possible, thus she wouldn't exactly 'oppose' him, but merely drive him away without killing him when he wreaks havoc.
** Eventually, these feelings would thrust her head on into the Morality Civil War, with her being one of Litchi's most steadfast friend and defender, to the point that she harbored intense dislike to Kokonoe Mercury for brushing off Litchi without even caring about her conditions and claiming that her idea is the best idea to deal with Litchi. This is to the point that Karen started getting creeped out that she found herself edging with the slippery slope against Kokonoe…
** By the end of it, the War ended and the Pantheon has given official statement that Litchi was to be forgiven. Karen was one of the first beings to wait at Litchi's house and gave her a hug, along with others.
* Freed Jay Gatsby from The Fallen by accepting his money. She even managed to bring him to the same house as her.
* Akin to another Pretty Cure member, it seems nowadays Karen has befriended another historical figure: [[Pantheon/RidingAndControl Chousokabe Motochika]] (the [[VideoGame/SamuraiWarriors shamisen-player]], mind you). When they've first met, Motochika was strumming his shamisen in peace, and Karen was attracted to his music due to being well-aware of fine talent in that field. He then talked with her for a while about their water motifs, and played her a [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kXhcPQxAqDY song of some sort]] regarding [[ScrewDestiny his stance in life]]. It touched her, especially with their possible ways to relate to each other somewhat.
** When Karen was shocked to find out that he was ''the Chousokabe Motochika, ruler of Shikoku'', she was at a loss for words. But in the end, they ended up as close friends.
*** It turns out, fellow gods are pointing out that the reason why they seem close to each other is that [[Creator/AiMaeda their respective]] [[Creator/RyotaroOkiayu voices]] are somehow...''[[RelationshipVoiceActor married]]'' to each other. The Capcom-big brother-version is confused on the matter, even if he does understand the reasons behind it.
*** On that end, [[Pantheon/{{Consumption}} Sima Shi]] who also has a similar voice to Motochika, has also opened her eyes on the other side of [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Db8R8M6ttMc defying fate where instead was merely accepting said fate]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-aUq8Gdpdqg while also somewhat trusting it to guide you]]. Right now under the guidance of the Koei-version of Oichi ([[Creator/AiMaeda who has a similar voice to Karen]]), is teaching her to find the song that fits perfectly alongside those voices.
*** Is also starting to get along with [[Pantheon/HeroicArchetypes Ze]][[Pantheon/NamingTheme r]][[VideoGame/MegaManX o]], mainly as a battle partner. The sadness they each both have suffered from seems to also tie them both together.

* You know Dasher and Dancer, and Prancer and Vixen. Comet and Cupid, and Donner and Blitzen. ''[[{{Tagline}} But do you recall... the most famous reindeer of all?]]'' Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer''[[note]][[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reindeer Rangifer tarandus]][[/note]]'', as his name implies, was born with a shiny [[GagNose red nose.]] So bright in fact, that people would even say it glows. While his parents tried to hide it from public eyes, his unique snout was soon discovered and turned Rudolph into a laughing stock. AllOfTheOtherReindeer in the North Pole [[https://youtu.be/f1u7lHSMoIU?t=1065 mocked and humiliated the poor fawn.]] They called him cruel names and wouldn't let them play in their reindeer games. Even Santa himself acted incredibly jerkish towards him. Time soon passed, and a terrible storm engulfed the North Pole, not letting up even as Christmas Eve approached. Santa was close to cancelling the holiday altogether... until he realized something. He approached the now-adult Rudolph and asked, "Rudolph with your nose so bright, won't you guide my sleigh tonight?" [[SavingChristmas And he did.]] With his nose piercing through the fog and mist, Rudolph led the way around the world and allowing Santa to deliver the presents on time. Christmas was saved, and the reindeer changed their attitude. They came to love him and cheered with glee, that Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer would go down in history.
* Rudolph ascended to the Pantheon alongside Santa during one particular holiday season. A strong winter storm rolled over the entire Pantheon, causing mass concern over whether or not Christmas would come at all. All hope seemed lost, when, hidden in the fog and snow, a red light was spotted. The deities, both young and old, knew instantly who the light belonged to, with the younger ones cheering as Rudolph led Santa's sleigh through the blizzard, delivering presents as they went. Christmas had been saved once more, with Santa and Rudolph being given temples and titles within the Pantheon as thank you for their efforts.
** Santa and Rudolph share a temple, leading back to Christmas Town, better known as the North Pole. It is a quaint little area, with the Claus' and their elves living on the first castle on the left. '''[[note]]Matter of fact, the only castle on the left.[[/note]]''' The reindeer either live in the castle's stables or in the nearby caves. Business goes on as usual in preparations for December 24th, so should one ever visit, don't be surprised by all the elves and reindeer working and practicing.
* The version of Rudolph seen in the Pantheon hails from a [[WesternAnimation/RudolphTheRedNosedReindeer bizarre timeline]], where he, the son of Donner, ran away from home and travelled with an aspiring elf dentist named Hermey and Canadian prospector Yukon Cornelius to an island of misfit toys, confronting the Abominable Snow Monster, and eventually saving his family from said monster. However, his appearance tends to fluctuate from time to time; sometimes he looks like an adult and other times he reverts into a young fawn. As well, his origins are often thrown into question. Some claim he [[WesternAnimation/RudolphTheRedNosedReindeer1998 was born to Blitzen, and was rivals with his cousin, Arrow]], while others say [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o4b9Q7YdDdM his story was more simplistic.]] He will transform into these alternate forms occasionally, but he is most comfortable in his stop-motion body. Besides, it allowed for Hermey, Yukon and fellow reindeer Clarice to arrive as Heralds.
* Rudolph's love for Christmas is an absolute given and he was surprised to learn there were many other deities associated with the holidays living in the Pantheon. Luckily for him, most of them are on good terms with the reindeer. Besides the Santa and Mrs. Claus he's most familiar with, Rudolph came to work alongside the Guardian, Nicolas Saint North, the young idols Hijiri Mochizuki and Eve Santaclaus, the Ghosts of Christmas Past, Present and Yet To Come. They all do their duties to spread Christmas cheer and joy to the Pantheon and to the Worlds, with Rudolph always leading the way with his nose lighting the darkness.
** Initially, Rudolph had a difficult time trusting Ebeneezer Scrooge, Jack Skellington and The Grinch, due to their previous attempts to take over, sabotage or simply disregard Christmas altogether. Not to mention the latter two having dogs (Zero and Max) that they used in roles similar to reindeer. Then the young buck discovered their histories, learning how all three went through epiphanies and changed their ways to cherish the holiday season. Nowadays, Rudolph will occasionally enlist their help to spread Christmas cheer to the Pantheon... while keeping Jack from stealing the show.
* One Christmas Eve, Rudolph and Santa met three (former) homeless folks from Japan, named Gin, Hana and Miyuki, and witnessed their story of helping reunite an abandoned baby with her parents. Santa noted the trio's incredible luck on their journey and kindness to the child and decided to give them a place in the Pantheon. Rudolph often stops by the check up on them and even invite them to the North Pole to help in the festivities.
* Rudolph knows first-hand how it felt being ostracized for his differences and has gone about the Pantheon making friends with others like him. He is close to Naruto Uzumaki since the two were picked on in their childhood before earning the respect of others after saving them. He's also friends with Dumbo, often flying alongside the big-eared elephant during the holidays and helping Santa, The imaginative, Canadian red-head Anne Shirley, and the Fire Nation born circus performer Ty Lee, who took to the reindeer almost instantly, even praising him for using his gifts for good. The more cynical deities often make fun of these friendships, considering the red-nosed reindeer and company a bunch of mismatched misfits and freaks. Rudolph and the others don't really care for their opinions. Friends stick together no matter what, after all. He also became close to Haruka Kotoura and was heartbroken when he heard how she couldn't control her telepathic power, causing major issues. Haruka was surprised to find out that she could read Rudolph's mind despite being an animal. She's actually ok with it because most times, his mind is filled with sugar plums, fairies, Christmas and [[OfficialCouple Clarice.]]
** Despite this, Rudolph does have limits. He once heard of the dealings of the Diclonius, Lucy. While he did feel sorry for her at first, once he heard about the [[HarmfulToMinors end result of her bullying]] he felt sick to his stomach. He avoids interacting or even being near her.
* Rudolph's not exactly a big fan of bullies due to his own experiences being picked on. He initially frowned at Shoya Ishida and his bullying of his deaf classmate Shoko Nishimiya, as well as distrusting the young Katsuki Bakugo for him picking on the young Izuku Midoriya, which reminded Rudolph of his cousin Arrow. After hearing about the two bullies going through their [[HeelFaceTurn own major changes]], Rudolph tried to interact with them a bit more. Shoya and Shoko are on good terms with the flying deer, though Bakugo wishes not to be pitied by the deer.
* His journey to the Island of Misfit Toys and meeting its forgotten inhabitants came back to Rudolph's memory when he encountered an equally bizarre group of sentient toys in the Pantheon; led by a cowboy doll named Woody and a spaceman action figure named Buzz Lightyear. The toys had their own experiences with being lost, forgotten and eventually finding new owners, so they connected quickly with the red-nosed reindeer. They even travelled to the island to help other forgotten toys find new owners to play with and cherish.
* Not long after ascending, Rudolph found friends in the Pantheon's other resident hoofstock. In particular, the white-tailed deer Bambi, former farm cow-turned-reindeer Annabelle, and the Legendary Pokémon, Xerneas, who is sometimes spotted in the forests surrounding the Arctic, its multi-coloured antlers glowing with the aurora borealis. He was also happy to meet the blue-nosed reindeer Tony Chopper, although he was initially weirded out by his small size and strange appearance. All four have come by the North Pole from time to time, with Bambi bringing his own friends, Thumper the rabbit and Flower the skunk, to enjoy the Christmas festivities. They all, however, know to stay away from the ruthless goat Grogar, who isn't quite up for the holiday joy, happiness and... you know, ''being nice whatsoever.''
** Speaking of deer, Rudolph encountered a strange woman named [=ViVi=], a member of a K-Pop girl group called LOOΠΔ. She was considered an oddball due to her being an android, not to mention being from Hong Kong. Despite this, Rudolph began talking with her, at the urging of her fellow idols. It turned out that she was a friendly individual, even revealing that her [[AnimalMotifs symbolic animal]] was a deer, which made things all the more perfect. From then on out, Rudolph often stops by to check up on the singer and dancer, even inviting her to the North Pole to hang out. On one such occasion, [=ViVi=] came over to Rudolph and called him cute. His response was to leap into the air and shout;
--> '''Rudolph:''' ''I'm Cute! I'm Cute! She said I'm cute!''
* [[WesternAnimation/RudolphAndFrostysChristmasInJuly One time]], Rudolph and his friend Frosty the Snowman had a run-in with an evil winter warlock called Winterbolt, who once tried to use them in his plan to destroy Santa. After that, the young reindeer has remained cautious around similar ice-controlling beings, as well as a revived Winterbolt, who continues to haunt the Pantheon. He's wary of Lissandra and The Night's King, both of whom want to plunge the Pantheon into a long and unforgiving winter. To that end, Rudolph found new help with Jon Snow, the former King in the North having a bit of experience in dealing with wights and White Walkers. He also befriended the time-travelling warrior Lucina, following a scenario similar to [[WesternAnimation/RudolphsShinyNewYear when the reindeer had to save the New Year.]]
** He actually feels sorry for Ice King, however, due to his tragic past. He can't really imagine what it's like to be that insane.
* Rudolph became good friends with Queen Anna, her older sister Elsa and the living snowman Olaf. The former initially was a tough sell, due to her cryokinetic powers, but then they started talking. He learned of Elsa having to hide her talent under her parent's instructions, just as his parents once did, as well as being ostricized by the public once it was discovered. Elsa often makes it her duty to provide a white Christmas for the Pantheon, and is more than happy to help Rudolph by keeping the worst storms at bay. Anna meanwhile loves to prepare and throw extravagant parties around the holiday season, and she likes to invite Rudolph over to entertain the kids, not to mention giving another reindeer friend to her fiance Kristoff and his faithful caribou Sven. As for Olaf? Rudolph gets along with him because, in a way, he reminds the deer a great deal of Frosty the Snowman.
* He once had a nasty run-in with the Wendigo, a flesh-eating monster whose sharp teeth and piercing call reminded the buck of the Abominable Snow Monster of the North. Luckily for the reindeer, he was saved by Braum, who reminded Rudolph of Yukon Cornelius. However, after hearing that the Wendigo was actually [[spoiler: a girl who was forced to eat her dead sister's body]], Rudolph was both saddened and disgusted. He also stays clear of the. Rudolph is also incredibly disturbed by SCP-4666, due to its sadistic brutality towards naughty children, Spooky the ghost, who murdered Santa on one occasion, and Robot Santa, who often attacks people on Christmas regardless if they're naughty or nice.
* There are many rumours surrounding Rudolph. Some claim to have seen Rudolph [[WesternAnimation/JohnnyBravo shooting laser beams]] out of his shining red nose, while others heard he was [[Series/WhoseLineIsItAnyway hit by a 747 and a flock of seagulls while flying over Barcelona.]] Rudolph has denied these claims, citing that the instigators probably drank too much eggnog and just hallucinated it. But eyewitnesses were quick to report that the reindeer in Spain was hit mainly by the plane.

* Opposes: {{Gold Digger}}s, like [[Pantheon/CommercialAttitude Anise Tatlin]]
* Gatsby, a man who built his riches to be able to win over a girl he met while on service. Unfortunately for him, he wasn't able to win her over as she was only a GoldDigger who would rather stay with a cheating husband and be secure. He also found out too late that his wealth had ultimately brought him no fulfillment as he had only one true friend.
** This sent him to The Fallen for a while as a result, but Karen Minazuki managed to ascend him to the Pantheon proper by accepting his money.
* Rumored to actually be [[Pantheon/LoveInterests Jack Dawson]] who [[http://i0.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/original/000/550/989/bf4.jpg survived his drowning]]. Some have even gone further and said he is actually slave owner [[Pantheon/{{Categorism}} Calvin J. Candies]] and is really immortal. Jay denies all these rumors.
* Was a bit perplexed when he saw how Romeo sometimes [[Film/WilliamShakespearesRomeoAndJuliet looks like him]]. Ignoring that, he became friends with him. Some say they do make good friends as they were both foolish men who ruined their own lives over love.
* When she heard of the title he was ascended for, Pollyanna tried to lift his spirits. Gatsby did appreciate the effort, even if it only made him a bit happier.
* Well known for his outrageous parties, although Gatsby vowed never to do something so outlandish ever again since no one from said parties came to his funeral. [[Pantheon/{{Happiness}} Pinkie Pie]] didn't get the notice as she threw him a party—that could rival his own—when he made his proper place in the pantheon. But he did thank her, and the Avatars of Friendship, for cheering him up and helping to share his wealth amongst others.
* Desperate to be a millionaire just so he could impress his crush, he was able to be one by bootlegging, becoming a criminal. [[DownerEnding It was all for naught]], thus making people feel sympathetic and sorry for hiim.
* Gain an odd friendship with Peter Parker. Or maybe it's a desperate friendship for Gatsby as he mentioned how much Parker reminds him of his only friend Nick Carraway.
* Despite Gatsby's criminal past, Bruce Wayne sympathizes for his lonely end as in [[WesternAnimation/BatmanBeyond one reality]], Bruce would end mostly alone.
* Sympathized with Niko Bellic since he found common ground with him like both being soldiers who wanted to get rich but pay dearly for it in the end. For Gatsby, it was his life. Niko? [[spoiler:Either his cousin or his girlfriend's life]].
* Doesn't take too kindly to any {{gold digger}}s in the Pantheon. Considering he wasted his life to please one, who can blame him?
* Some have consider Gatsby as being the total opposite in life to George Bailey. While Bailey worked his entire life to make something of himself but didn't, he ended up a much richer man with a wife, kids, friends and family and was a happier man. Compare that to Gatsby, who became a criminal to become rich but ending up alone with few friends and not getting the girl he sought after his entire life. Some believe that Jay might envy George's life.
