| 22 | * Respected by: [[Pantheon/{{Ambiguity}} SMT's Lucifer]] |
| 23 | * It all started in November 1972 when Gary Gygax, the co-founder of the International Federation of Wargamers (IFW) meet up with Dave Arneson and David Megarry for a game of ''Blackmoor'' in Lake Geneva. After a round refereed by Arneson, Gygax swiftly created a new campaign named ''TabletopGame/{{Greyhawk}}'' and asked Arneson for a draft of his gaming rules. After that, they exchanged ideas over phone and mail and playtesting with their other contacts. They wanted their board game to be published as soon as possible due to two publishers rejecting it, so they hastily make new rules without using Arneson's draft. Luckily, a man named Brian Blume provided enough funds to publish the original ''TabletopGame/DungeonsAndDragons'' set in 1974 with the initial print run selling one thousand copies and rising in subsequent years. Since then, the world is introduced to one of the most revolutionary TabletopGames that [[FollowTheLeader influenced many works of media]] for years to come. |
| 24 | * Gygax's mortal shell was cast off March 4, 2008, and Arneson's on April 7, 2009. The sacrifice of so many hours of free time skyrocketed them both to Overdeities of Craft. Gygax is often more active than Arneson, though that is because people know about him more. |
| 25 | ** Later, they established a spot in the Main House as the Progenitors of Gods. There, they have the highest position possible, gaining dominion over every deity in the Pantheon. Most don't object (yes, not even the most Chaotic deities) since as {{Game Master}}s, they must be fair when it comes to a game's balance, thus they help keep situations normal. Cosmos and Eru are thankful for their new position as leaders of the Pantheon. The God from ''WesternAnimation/GodTheDevilAndBob'' is glad that these two will do a better job than he did and proceeded to continue drinking at the bar. |
| 26 | *** However, there are still deities that dislike the fact that they're in charge and seek to usurp or destroy them. YHVH thinks they do not deserve to be leaders of the Pantheon and often sends His underlings to fight them to no avail, because of their GameMaster [[StoryBreakerPower abilities]]. Nekron wants them [[DeaderThanDead permanently dead]] in order to destroy the Pantheon with ease. The Anti-Monitor also thinks they are a hindrance to his ultimate goal of blowing everything to smithereens. Zamasu is outright pissed that because of them, he cannot destroy the ''NINGEN''. Pantheon/RexMachina, in line with their philosophy of robotic supremacy, thinks that two humans like Gygax and Arneson are obstacles to their goals, though luckily, Roboking is keeping them in line. |
| 27 | *** Surprisingly, Lord Fuse is actually ''[[HorrifyingTheHorror afraid]]'' of the duo, because their orders are powered by ClapYourHandsIfYouBelieve, his biggest weakness. Fuse is trying to think of a way to dispose of them with no risk. |
| 28 | *** What's also surprising is that Lucifer admires Gygax's mercilessness in his campaigns, although he is a bit irked that he and Arneson must maintain order in the Pantheon which becomes a sore spot for him. |
| 29 | * Originators of the concept of Godhood... well, Dream of the Endless predated that, but the three decided to share credit just to save some confusion. |
| 30 | * The Outer Gods are baffled that two humans have as much power as they do and also have dominion over them. For now, they go back to their usual businesses while not trying to needlessly provoke them... but not Nyarlathotep. He and his SMT counterpart both agree for once that they must be out of the way in order for their evil ambitions to come into fruition. |
| 31 | ** The duo get along better with their creator, H.P. Lovecraft, despite the three working in [[MedievalFantasy completely]] [[CosmicHorrorStory separate genres]]. [[Pantheon/HairStyles Nyar]][[Pantheon/{{Passion}} ko]], along with [[Pantheon/{{Romance}} Mahiro]], [[Pantheon/RomanticOrientation Cuuko and Hasta]] also get along with them, even though Nyarko did not have any experience playing D'n'D prior to this. |
| 32 | ** They also got along really well with J.R.R. Tolkien, because his work has influenced their games a lot including ''Dungeons and Dragons''. |
| 33 | * All tabletop gaming gods have them to thank. If it wasn't for them, they wouldn't exist. On the flipside, if it wasn't for them, the Ebon Dragon and the Chaos Gods, among other evil gods, wouldn't have existed either, so it's sort of a mixed bag. |
| 34 | ** They are the only gods that the Draconic Trio will defer to and woe to anyone that dares to harm them in their presence. Drizzt and Artemis confronted their progenitors and asked them, "Why are we this way? Have you forsaken us?" Gygax and Arneson tells them they can be whoever they want since the Pantheon is where fictional characters can retreat to during or after their trials. The lesser not so different duo accepted this and unconditionally serve their masters to this day. |
| 35 | ** The Order of the Stick has given their allegiance to the Progenitors and fight in their stead due to their world being based on the 3.5 edition's rules and [[AffectionateParody making fun of the whole DnD experience]]. This also cause the Order's enemies like General Tarquin, Redcloak and Xykon become their enemies, who are also seeking to usurp and overpower them. Not even the duo can stand Miko Miyazaki, though they appreciate her allegiance albeit a blind one. |
| 36 | * Gygax has met Fry and his friends before, who are surprised that he runs the entire place. They now join him in role-playing campaigns during their off-hours. On a related note, he feels proud that Dexter the young genius triumphs over his fellow players in D'n'D even having his last name as his alias, though Gygax (and Arneson as well) does try to teach Dexter to play fair next time. |
| 37 | ** Some say Arneson [[Film/DungeonsAndDragons2000 was once a mage who was last seen throwing fireballs at a dragon]], [[WhatCouldHaveBeen though that moment never made it into the final cut]]. Arneson resigned to the fact that he is recognized enough for him to be remembered and continues the rest of his day. |

| 52 | * Allies: Virtually all [[Pantheon/AnimeAndMangaAToM Anime]] and [[Pantheon/AnimeAndMangaNToZ Manga]] deities, all good deities in the House of Pantheon/{{Narrative}} and Pantheon/{{Craft}}, all good Pantheon/{{Disney}} deities, especially [[Pantheon/{{Commerce}} Scrooge McDuck]] and [[Pantheon/{{Quirks}} Donald Duck]], [[Pantheon/{{Mammals}} Bambi]], [[Pantheon/{{Felines}} Simba]] |
| 53 | * Observed by: [[Pantheon/DigitalPersonas HAL 9000]] |
| 54 | * Rivals: '''[[Pantheon/FormsOfMedia Stan Lee]]''' |
| 55 | * Respected by: '''Muto Ashirogi''' |
| 56 | * Manga may have existed before his first work, but there was no doubt that he helped standardize what would be modern manga. Osamu's work goes back to 1946. By the time of his death, people have already called him a god for all of manga. Unfortunately, his temple was neglected and his spirit disappeared from the Pantheon. Desperate, Black Jack went to Ichigo and the Reapers to retrieve his soul. The group was successful and this time they called for help to renovate his temple. It took some time but the ''entire roster of anime deities'' pitched him to help Osamu settle in the House of Craft. This time, he intends to stay for good. |
| 57 | * Tezuka is proud that his creations, Black Jack and Astro Boy has attained godhood. Is hoping his other creations find places in the Pantheon. |
| 58 | * He is well respected by most of the characters who originate from the worlds of Anime and Manga because he is the man whose works began the genre of Anime and Manga, which allowed all of them to come into existence in the manner they have as a result. |
| 59 | * Osamu Tezuka is very good friends with Scrooge [=McDuck=], the character whose design was the basis for all his works, and all of his extended family through [=McDuck=]'s own creator/father Carl Barks. He is often seen interacting with Scrooge and his family, and is very happy whenever Astro Boy drops by for a visit and happily visits with Scrooge's family, whom he essentially considers a Godfather. |
| 60 | ** Heck, Tezuka would get along with ''any'' Disney god (excluding the villains) very well. Special note goes to Bambi as he confirmed that he got much of his technique from drawing the deer. Bambi asked for some drawings to see and was delighted in his work. |
| 61 | ** Some of his followers were mad that Disney used his story Manga/KimbaTheWhiteLion to create ''WesternAnimation/TheLionKing1994''. Osamu sees it as an honor that the company would saw his work as worth of adapting. Besides, his story deal with the aftermath and does into the hierarchy, something he wished the movie did. |
| 62 | * Tezuka is very fond of Timeless River for it's Retraux, and is quite pleased that Sora's form there is a homage to his work. Sora, who is close friends with Donald Duck and Goofy (and one of Black Jack's patients), is delighted to hear this. |
| 63 | * Is part of an eternal rivalry with Stan Lee, the God of Comic Books. Osama would point out that his manga did not derive from comic books and existed far before they became prevalent. With that said, both artists admit that the two styles have taken information from each other. Yet there are growing factions that want to do war with each other. |
| 64 | * There is an interesting scenario that almost happened. Osamu was invited to draw some art for Film/TwoThousandOneASpaceOdyssey. Not wanting to leave his studio, Osamu declined the offer. The movie did well regardless, but HAL 9000 sent some code to The Samaritan over what could have been. The two AI programs have been hush about what they prosaw. |
| 65 | * Was once asked what manga was about. His answer was this: |
| 66 | -->''"Manga is virtual. Manga is sentiment. Manga is resistance. Manga is bizarre. Manga is pathos. Manga is destruction. Manga is arrogance. Manga is love. Manga is kitsch. Manga is sense of wonder. Manga is... there is no conclusion yet."'' |

| 81 | * Enemies: [[Pantheon/VillainousArchetypes Mephisto]]... or rather the forces that had him make that deal, [[Pantheon/SelfHatred Judge Doom]] |
| 82 | * Fears: [[spoiler:[[Pantheon/AdaptationalChanges Walt Disney]]]] |
| 83 | * There was once a time when Stan Lee shared the title with Creator/JackKirby and Creator/SteveDitko. Stan's personality was so great, that he decided to take over the temple himself. The other two more or less agreed to step down. Jack Kirby can at least keep his title as the One Above All in the Marvel Universe... along with [[Pantheon/CraftingMaterials his post at the House of Craft]]. |
| 84 | * DC deities see him as a FriendlyRival at worse; they all know the importance of his role in comic books even if they arrived first. (they even allowed him to have a cameo in ''Westernanimation/TeenTitansGoToTheMovies''!) That goes double for anyone from outside the big two. |
| 85 | * Upon hearing that Stan Lee was referred to as "The Man", [[Pantheon/{{Sports}} Ric Flair]] immediately issued a challenge to the comic lords, stating that, "To be The Man, you've got to beat The Man! Wooooooo!" This challenge is, as yet, unanswered. |
| 86 | ** On the other hand, Stan Lee dislikes sidekicks... this was the main reason to [[KilledOffForReal kill off]] Bucky for long time, until his impressive return as the Winter Soldier, and "The Man" changed his opinion of him. |
| 87 | * Stan Lee can be [[AdaptationalBadass an ass-kicker]] depending on his version. In [[VideoGame/LEGOAdaptationGame one universe]], he had the powers of [[Pantheon/FormMentalities The Hulk]] and [[Pantheon/HeroicRoles Spider-Man]]. In [[WesternAnimation/UltimateSpiderMan2012 another]], he's a founding member of SHIELD acting as a school janitor. |
| 88 | ** Also is glad to see Spider-man as a liason in the Toku Base, seeing as he was happy that a [[Series/SpiderManJapan Japanese Spider-Man]] was able to help fight against evil. |
| 89 | *** Stan has once eaten at [[Pantheon/{{Food}} Hell's Kitchen]], considering on making a comic on the aspiring chefs who cooked his meal that night. |
| 90 | * Out of all of his creations, Spider-Man remains his baby, taking part of every aspect of the character as well as his supporting cast. While he has been supportive of the works of most of his creators, he remains a fan of the pairing of Peter and Mary Jane. His strip depicts an alternate universe where they are still together. [[http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/heat-vision/stan-lee-hated-1970s-amazing-spider-man-tv-series-1017027 Just don't get him to defend the Live Action Spiderman of the 70s']]. That was one version where he couldn't bear watch producers strip him of what he truly is. |
| 91 | * Stan Lee often makes cameos in all the major events in the pantheon, granting him an additional seat. Incredibly, he can appear in the MCU as well as the Fox, Sony and Disney universes. He remains a fan of Spider-Man in all his incarnations. There are rumors that he may be a Watcher in human disguise, but the closest anyone's gotten out of him is that he's simply labeled as the [[Film/GuardiansOfTheGalaxyVol2 Watchers' Informant]]. He once said that his dream was to make more cameos than [[Pantheon/WritingTechniques Alfred Hitchcock]] did in his works, which he succeeded. Was surprisingly a villain in [[Manga/KarakuridoujiUltimo Ultimo]] as Dr. Roger Dunstan. He stated he rather enjoyed his time figuring out whether good or evil is more overwhelming. |
| 92 | ** Stan's booming and instantly recognizable voice also makes him a highly requested narrator in the pantheon. |
| 93 | * Unsurprisingly has a lot in common with Iroh, the resident CoolOldGuy. Iroh loved his comic strips while Stan Lee admits he makes a great cup of tea despite preferring coffee. |
| 94 | * There is growing fear among the superhero community that they may be vulnerable to the Dip, concocted by Judge Doom. Stan Lee is the ultimate deciding factor on this ruling, who made his case against it in the Court of the Gods, it remains to be seen how they rule it. |
| 95 | * Stan Lee has been a source of frustration with Sheldon Cooper. An initial opportunity to meet him was ruined by his roommates, with him ending up getting a restraining order. He had no such trouble in the Pantheon, and Stan Lee was glad to give a fan of his a coveted signature. |
| 96 | * There has been claims that Stan Lee is secretly a CIA agent in his spare time. When pressed with those allegations, Chuck merely stated not to comment on it, which only further spurred the rumor mill. |
| 97 | * Phineas and Ferb thought it was odd that the local hot dog vendor made it to the Pantheon. It was only his revelation of his works that the two recognized him as Stan Lee. They were grateful of meeting with a lot of his creations. |
| 98 | * Stan Lee was grateful for getting a spot in a [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cD2BX_r6Zb8 Robot Chicken segment]]. Regardless of its divisive nature, Stan Lee had always believed it could get out of Purgatory. |
| 99 | * Hiro Nakamura is a huge fanboy of his and has appeared at his temple to get autographs. He also notes that Stan reminds him of [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jn-PKTHKT1o a bus driver]] he met in the past. But that's ridiculous...right? |
| 100 | * Out of the Marvel Universe gods, he acts like a father figure to [[Pantheon/{{Titles}} Big Hero 6]], particularly to Fred Fredricksen IV. He's quick to give them advice on becoming better heroes and gives them a few supplies if need be. Rumors say that he has an alter-ego as a superhero who's had his own adventures. |
| 101 | * On November 12th, 2018, Stan Lee shed his mortal coil and joined the Pantheon full-time where there was much sadness. Even a few villains came to pay their respects. |

| 122 | * Ascended together with his [[MemeticMutation boi]] CD-i Link, CD-i Zelda, Shopkeeper Morshu, and Gwonam who act as his warrior, heir, shopkeeper and mage, respectively. They are not specifically gods of anything, merely demigods of [=YouTube=] Poop under The King's command. |
| 123 | ** Unfortunately, CD-i Ganon and Duke Onkled also ascended alongside him and continued to make mischief for the denizens of CD-i Hyrule. |
| 124 | * After the utter failure of the Phillips [=CD-i=] and the technology itself becoming outdated, Harkinian languished in The Fallen for many long years, before a little website called Website/YouTube resurrected him. It was here that his more psychotic tendencies and his obsession with dinner were revealed, with one of the earliest and most infamous incidents being [[https://youtu.be/DabosoO4gKM his first recorded use]] of the Dinner Blaster. Since then, he has become among the most popular and recurring characters in the YouTubePoop art form. |
| 125 | * Each poop records an actual day in his life, though his life tends to have NegativeContinuity. |
| 126 | * Whenever he speaks, his words are always made up of mixed sounds from the same few lines he has in the games, making him a little hard to understand at times. He used to even borrow words from other people, until that became considered tacky and lazy in [=YouTube=] Poop circles. |
| 127 | * He seized the vacant Ludwig's Castle Hotel after the events in ''VideoGame/HotelMario'' and lives there with his demigod servants. The castle of course is infamous for not being very structurally sound, and collapses at least once a week. |
| 128 | * [[WebAnimation/TheKingsEpicAdventure Is well known for his obsession with making people all around the world eat his shit.]] |
| 129 | ** He is still miffed at Konata Izumi for the time she trapped him in her {{Platform/Nintendo DS}}i for a month during said adventure. Konata, however, does not seem to remember doing such a thing. |
| 130 | * Contrary to popular belief, his infamous "Mah Boi" phrase was actually uttered immediately after taking a sip from a large chalice of wine. The DeclarativeFinger pose was made seconds later as he finished telling his boi that peace in Hyrule is what all true warriors "strive for". |
| 131 | * Spent the earliest part of his godhood lounging in the House of Pantheon/{{Royalty}} until the deities of the Main House decided that he was unfit to reside here and forced him and his subjects, after a brief scuffle, to depart in his royal ship. |
| 132 | ** The CD-i court first sailed for the House of Pantheon/{{Gaming}} but were promptly chased off by an enraged Angry Video Game Nerd shouting, "CD-i sucks!". They finally landed at the House of Pantheon/{{Craft}}, where their [=YouTube=] Poop antics may not be celebrated, but are at least accepted. |
| 133 | * Hangs out a lot in the House of Pantheon/{{Food}}, because he [[MemeticMutation likes dinner quite a bit]]. |
| 134 | * Surprisingly, not ''actively'' opposed by gods hailing from the official ''Zelda'' games. They simply pretend that [[CanonDiscontinuity he and his servants don't exist]]. His claim to the throne of Hyrule is equally ignored by said gods, who see him simply as a mocking caricature of the real King of Hyrule, and is only recognized by his followers. |
| 135 | ** He tried to greet the real Zelda when she joined the House of Royalty with a hearty "Mah gurl, Zelda, how OR you? Let's go to Gamelon FOR pizza. Then we can send Link to protect your boobies." CD-i Link chimed in with "Oh boy!". Princess Zelda simply stared off in another direction as they tried to get her attention and remarked that the wind seemed to be blowing quite loudly today, refusing to acknowledge their existence. |
| 136 | * [[Pantheon/BladedWeapons Luke Skywalker]] has gained an odd respect for the King after hearing about how he [[https://youtu.be/hTurnbKBaG0 destroyed the Death Star]] despite his inexperience as a pilot. This respect is apparently not mutual, however, as Harkinian [[https://youtu.be/I0xi7CXtJ8w opposed Luke]] in his attack against Duke Onkled. |
| 137 | ** At least, supposedly. No one is ever truly sure what's canon in the world of [=YouTube=] Poop, if anything. |
| 138 | * Is notoriously slow in sending aid to other gods whenever they are in trouble, preferring to ponder how he can help despite possessing a royal army and his boi. This may be because his attempts to aid his allies often result in him getting betrayed and captured. |
| 139 | * Once decided to prove his awesomeness by confronting [[Pantheon/EvilActions the real Ganon]] and was cheered on by CD-i Link, who flexed his arms and boisterously proclaimed, "That old Ganon's no match for the King!". Harky learned too late that [[CurbStompBattle the inverse was true]]. |

| 161 | * Annoyed By: [[Pantheon/TypesOfNarration The Narrator]] (Kirito Only), [[Pantheon/ReasonsForDeath Nappa]] (Kirito Only) |
| 162 | * TwentyMinutesIntoTheFuture, there exists a game known as "[[ShowWithinAShow Sword Art Online]]", a MassivelyMultiplayerOnlineRolePlayingGame based in Virtual Reality where players have to make their way to the top of Castle Aincrad in order to beat the game. Unfortunately, due to the machinations of a game developer known as Kayaba Akihiko, 10,000 players have found themselves trapped within the game until they reach the 100th floor, and should they die in the game, they die in real life as well. One of those trapped players turned out to be Kazuto "Kirito" Kirigaya, who, having lived their life as an antisocial nobody, found himself as a [[AGodAmI god amongst men]] within the virtual world of Aincrad. Together with Asuna, a fellow player who matches Kirito in terms of skills and sociopathy, the two hope to ascend the castle's floors in order to escape to the real world... [[TeethClenchedTeamwork preferably without killing each other first]]. |
| 163 | ** Upon their arrival, they were immediately hauled before the Pantheon/CourtOfTheGods to have their cases heard. After much deliberation, the two were allowed to stay in the pantheon for the time being. Kirito and Asuna were initially glad... until they were informed that they were supposed to have ascended eight months ago via a message in Asuna's menu, [[HopelessWithTech something which she didn't know how to do at the time]]. Reportedly, Kirito had to spend the night in the House of Pantheon/HealthAndDiseases after [[FacePalm facepalming]] himself into unconsciousness. |
| 164 | * Their interactions with their canon counterparts have been... complicated. |
| 165 | ** Abridged Kirito and Asuna's first encounter with [[Pantheon/DigitalPersonas Canon Kirito and Asuna]] didn't exactly end well. While it started off hopeful with the four sitting down for a friendly chat to discuss their differences, it ended with Canon Asuna pulling on Abridged Asuna's hair whilst calling her a bitch repeatedly as Abridged Kirito attempted to disembowel Canon Kirito in the hopes that he can turn Canon Kirito's body into a makeshift meat toboggan. Thankfully, the four were broken up and a resolution was reached: namely, Abridged Kirito and Asuna are not allowed within fifty feet of their canon versions and vice versa. Whomever violates either sides' perimeters will have the cops called on them. |
| 166 | *** Although their relationship with their canon versions is rocky at best and violent at worst, Abridged Kirito and Asuna do share their canon counterparts love for their adopted daughter, [[Pantheon/SurrogateRelationships Yui]]. To the point where Abridged Kirito and Asuna are engaged in a legal battle with Canon Kirito and Asuna over who gets custody of Yui. Nobody knows who exactly will emerge victorious, but they do know that Yui is receiving so many presents from both sets of parents in an attempt to win her over to their respective sides. |
| 167 | ** Their relationship with the rest of the canon cast has not fared much better. While [[{{Pantheon/MultiWieldingWeapons}} Canon Sinon]] and [[{{Pantheon/DigitalPersonas}} Canon Yuuki]] consider the two to be irritating jackasses, [[{{Pantheon/Goals}} Canon Suguha]] has tried to maintain an alliance with the pair. Abridged Kirito and Asuna were even initially willing to befriend Canon Suguha, especially since she doesn't beat the everloving crap out Kirito like her abridged counterpart... only to learn that [[KissingCousins Canon Suguha is in love with Kirito]]. For the next few weeks, Abridged Kirito and Asuna were physically incapable of making an expression that didn't involve a dropped jaw and shrunken irises. |
| 168 | ** All of this said, the abridged pair and the canon cast has agreed to put aside their differences whenever it comes to dealing with [[Pantheon/CheatsAndGlitches Canon Nobuyuki]], who is overjoyed that there are now two Asunas for him to play around with. |
| 169 | * The two have obtained a somewhat shaky alliance with the likes of [[Pantheon/OutlooksOnJob Sora and Shiro]], who themselves live in a world where violence was outlawed and disputes were settled with games. Asuna [[TemptingFate wondered what kind of pathetic loser would want to live in a world like that]] only to find out that her husband was outside their temple, demanding that he be let into the world of Disboard. |
| 170 | ** The two have an even shakier alliance with [[Pantheon/MagicalItems Shiroe]] and [[Pantheon/CharacterActions Akatsuki]], whom, being allies of the original Kirito and Asuna, consider the pair to be absolute pain to be around. The feeling is mutual on the couple's end, especially since Shiroe helping Akatsuki out with her avatar situation has made Asuna self-conscious of the fact that Kirito left her to her own devices rather than help her open a menu, which has led to many arguments about who actually gets custody of Kirito's BadassLongcoat. |
| 171 | * It did not take long for Kirito to reopen the "Kirito is Always Right" foundation, and soon enough, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FkpqIp13HnA this advertisement]] was airing on every single television screen within the pantheon. So far, the "Kirito is Always Right" foundation has attracted little to no potential investors, but it did once convince [[Pantheon/BodySizes Ed]] to donate all of the Ed-boys' jawbreaker money to the cause. Eddy's screams of anger were heard from across the pantheon on that day. |
| 172 | * Convinced that [[Pantheon/{{Eyewear}} Mordecai Heller]] is secretly aligned with Don Fluffles, a cat that somehow learned how to play Sword Art Online and founded a mafia inside it, Kirito immediately stormed out to Mordecai's temple, planted his sword in the ground, and swore that he would spend every waking hour of his time opposing whatever evil schemes Mordecai plans to inflict upon the pantheon in the name of [[TheLostLenore Sachi]]. Mordecai, having hailed from a decade where the concept of video games didn't even exist, had absolutely no idea what Kirito was even talking about. |
| 173 | * Kirito can often be seen heading into the [[{{Pantheon/Workmanship}} Gates of Hell]] to buy weapons from Rodin. While some believe that Kirito frequents the bar because Rodin reminds him of his friend Tiffany, the truth is that Kirito frequents the bar because unlike Tiffany, Rodin won't try to sell him broken equipment. It has gotten to the point where Kirito has dubbed Rodin as "the cooler Tiffany". |
| 174 | ** Rodin, for the most part, doesn't seem to mind Kirito. Asuna, [[InnocentBigot however]]... |
| 175 | -->'''Asuna''': Heeey, R-dawg. What is up in dis... hizouse? |
| 176 | * Kirito would be lying if he said he wasn't at least mildly interested when he heard that there was another deity within the pantheon that takes after their abridged characterization more than their actual canon characterization. His interest quickly transformed into a fusion of disappointment and horror when he realized that the deity happened to be the exceedingly stupid [[Pantheon/ReasonsForDeath Nappa]], whose childish antics proved to be too much for Kirito to handle: |
| 177 | --> '''Kirito''': ''[Groans slightly while blood trickles down their nose]'' |
| 178 | --> '''Nappa''': You ok Kirito? |
| 179 | --> '''Kirito''': Yes, just... just an aneurysm out of sheer stupidity. |
| 180 | --> '''Nappa''': Wow... didn't think you were that stupid Kirito. |
| 181 | --> '''Kirito''': ''[Screams]'' |
| 182 | * During a stroll in the Pantheon, Kirito ended up encountering [[Pantheon/TypesOfNarration The Narrator]], who tried to guide Kirito like he does with [[Pantheon/GameMechanics Stanley]] and others. [[HilarityEnsues The results were predictable]]: |
| 183 | --> '''Narrator''': Kirito was trapped in a game of life or death, where the participant either lived or died. |
| 184 | --> '''Kirito''': Oh, WOW. What brilliant insight. It's so deep it loops right back around to being stupid. |
| 185 | --> '''Narrator''': Kirito ranted at nothing in particular before it slowly dawned on him how alone he truly was. |
| 186 | --> '''Kirito''': Wait, what was that? |
| 187 | --> '''Narrator''': Kirito asked the sky, like a preacher to his silent gods. |
| 188 | --> '''Kirito''': What gods? What are you talking about?! It's all bullshit metaphors with you. |
| 189 | --> '''Narrator''': Kirito was fat and ugly, and really really stupid. He probably only got his position in the Pantheon through some sort of family connection, that's how stupid he is. That, or with drug money. Also, Kirito is addicted to drugs and hookers. |
| 190 | --> '''Kirito''': Narrator off. |
| 191 | --> '''Narrator''': YOU CAN SILENCE ME BUT YOU CANT SILENCE THE TRU- ''[shuts off]'' |
| 192 | --> '''Kirito''': Dick. |

| 219 | * Opposes: [[Pantheon/{{Ghosts}} Caspar]] (Goofball) |
| 220 | * When the holy domain known as TheInternet finally developed into something that people could actually use, animators flocked towards it to spread their animations to the public. One of these aspiring animators is Max Gilardi. Even after changes in the webspace made it unprofitable for most animators to continue creating online animations for a living (that is not including {{NSFW}} or fan-funding), Max still puts out high-quality work as consistently as animation can online while others have either moved into the professional field, shorten their animations, or have stopped entirely. For this reason, Max has been given the title of godhood and ascended... with his microwave and annoying ghost. He is not amused by the latter one. |
| 221 | * For further explanation, Max created ''WebAnimation/BrainDump'' as a way to put out a long animations while at the same time, being a reviewer so said animation will justify its length. He is accompanied by Burnbot, his advanced microwave to show his points across. Theeeeeeen the entire show completely goes off the rails with Goofball, the ghost that haunts Max messing everything up. So a good chunk of episodes is just them bickering. It was deemed strange for Max to only ascend by himself despite being the sole animator in the trio, so Burnbot and Goofball were brought to make things more interesting. Max is finds the former a necessity, but really opposes Goofball’s presence. Goofball claims he is here to act as Max’s moral conscious but really just to screw around with him. |
| 222 | * It would seem as though they could all unanimously be friendly with one ally of theirs: ZONE. ZONE is happy that another internet animator came along to the Pantheon and hopes to help them out whenever she can. Though Max has to turn her down because of... [[Rule34 you know what it is]]. Burnbot was just amazed that a microwave can do much by what ZONE has shown, even Goofball was impressed that people were willing to make porn out of him. |
| 223 | * Another ally all three of them are friends with is Lain Iwakura. Mainly for the fact that the internet had basically kickstarted the paths that led them into being here at this point. Yes, even the ghost would admit that with no internet, he couldn’t have fun roasting the guy he haunts. Good thing Lain isn’t annoyed by any of them, having to deal with the constant FlameWar in the online space kind of [[TakeThat makes one cut off any emotion they have]]. |
| 224 | * There is also a singular person that all of them despise harder than anybody else and that is Junko Enoshima. Max hates her for her manipulation of SHSL Animator, which in turn brought the world to ruin. Burnbot hates how Junko managed to turn herself into an AI and is trying to spread despair through the online space. And Goofball hates her [[BigStupidDoodooHead for calling him a doodoo face]]. We can only guess that insult was despairing. |
| 225 | * Exclusive to Max: |
| 226 | ** Max has massive respect towards the founder of WesternAnimation, Disney. He thought he would never see the day when he would get to meet these icons. It can be said though, they don’t think much of him due to his small work output in comparison but it’s nice to have another passionate animator here. |
| 227 | ** He’s friendly towards Henry Stickman for being not only a web animation but a game as well. Henry is seemingly friendly as well... mainly because Henry might have made Max’s temple floorboard a hiding stash for stolen goods. Goofball is aware of this and kept his mouth shut ForTheLulz. |
| 228 | ** Absolutely adores Cuphead and Mugman, [[InkblotCartoonStyle again for their animation]]. He could finally brag about being friendly with two hard-ass games on social media to his critics at last. This will surely not end badly for him in any capacity. |
| 229 | ** Trying to be more sociable and nicer to others after Burnbot ditched him that one time. He’s trying his best to downplay his whole {{Jerkass}} attitude he has towards other but progress has been going slowly looking by how many friends he has on Discord. At least he is self-aware of it and wants to be better. |
| 230 | ** [[ArtStyleDissonance Many gods question if Max is animated or not in the Pantheon]]. This makes him feel more out of place when someone like Roger Rabbit is next to him and nobody could tell the difference. Just witness Max has a few less frames than others would normally have. |
| 231 | ** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F68l9FozxJ8 Wrote a pretty solid defense for Apu’s stereotype]], citing that despite fitting all the benchmarks an Indian stereotype has, Apu is a pretty awesome dude regardless and that shouldn’t be seen as negative in spite of this, [[AllStereotypeCast especially when everyone else in Springfield is a stereotype to some degree]]. Apu is pretty honored by Max (Apu had already having discussed on this issue not once but twice) and promised him a quarter off his Kwik-E-Mart purchases... [[TheScrooge for everything he has in total]]. He will in turn never mention the porn he gets of he and Apu. |
| 232 | ** Really loves violence. [[SuspiciouslySpecificDenial No, he is not a disturbed person in the slightest]]. This is the reason why Max watching Dethlock, as their absurd violence is [[CrossesTheLineTwice so horrifying, its enjoyable]]. But doesn’t go near them. He doesn’t want to be the victim in their chaos. |
| 233 | ** Apparently has an enemy named the the Jokester, an obvious Joker {{Expy}}. Now that the real Joker is in the Pantheon, Max feels more inclined to be more wary, as the Joker is no SitcomArchNemesis when it really comes down to it. He might shove a plastic bag into Burnbot for all he knows. |
| 234 | ** Is frustrated that aside from the Joker and maybe his girlfriend, he does not have that any other enemy (not counting Junko). Max believes to show that he is a respectable figure, he has to have an extensive list of enemies to deal with. Too bad, they don’t think much of him and leave him alone. [[EnemiesEqualsGreatness At least being a nuisance would be proof of something]] but nope. |
| 235 | ** Pretty much infamous across Equestria for his ''WebAnimation/PonyDotMov'' series, a thing that he is still known the most up until now. Max does not hate said series but has moved on from it and said he holds nothing against the ponies in any sort of capacity thought after what they’ve SEEN, [[NeverLiveItDown it’d be hard to get rid of that poor image of him anytime soon]]. |
| 236 | ** Also completely weirds out the animatronics of Freddy’s Pizzaria for his rather innocent interpretation of them. Its not like they are against the idea of them [[DracoInLeatherPants being seen as nicer and nonmalicious]], its how Max had them all chopped up into bits, made their suffering a joke, [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking and had given Chica pizza breasts]]. They are not particularly letting the last one go. |
| 237 | ** Expected Isabelle to oppose him as well for making her out to be a [[RonTheDeathEater communist if she ran the town]], but to his pleasant surprise, Isabelle was happy that someone realized she is not fit to be a leader just yet and inspired her to do her hardest. Her kindness brought a tear to Max’s eye. The two can be seen enjoying ''VideoGame/DoomEternal'' together, |
| 238 | * Exclusive to Burnbot: |
| 239 | ** Burnbot is an AI that somehow got in Max’s possession for some unnamed reason. She more or less shows Max’s points for him and does a fine job and doing so. [[ICantDoThisByMyself Max is barely functional without her]], so she stays by his side for the foreseeable future after she managed to get Max to finally show her respect. She’s the one who runs this trio, whether they like it or not, in spite of the fact [[TheSpeechless she has no voicebox of any kind]]. |
| 240 | ** Made friends with another AI: EDI. They bonded over the fact that they’re artificial intelligences and wants to have a body built for her just like EDI. Though Burnbot is being rather picky with what body she wants, so it could not be lewded at any point. [[Rule34 Though she knows the internet always finds a way to do that]]. |
| 241 | ** Data is curious on how Burnbot functions, wondering if said functions are similar to his own. Burnbot basically told Data to fuck off and not dismantle her, to which Data respectfully heeded. [[OddFriendship They became friends fast afterward.]] |
| 242 | ** Tron wonders how an AI like her can casually mess her user with no guilt in mind. Burnbot would like to tell Tron Max [[LaserGuidedKarma is the kind of person you should mess with when he really deserves so]]. In which case, all the time. Tron was satisfied with the answer. |
| 243 | ** Bonded with the young programmer Chihiro Fujisaki, who is studious in the creation of artificial programs like Burnbot. Chihiro considers Burnbot an AI with a soul, one that does not have the [[WhatMeasureIsANonHuman need to question its existence or adapt slowly]]. Burnbot enjoys her time with Chihiro, both the real one and the Alter Ego one. |
| 244 | ** Has been the target of various rogue AIs that try to hack her and [[HeelFaceBrainwashing convert them to their side]]. Burnbot has fortunately been fitted with several advancements during her return to her creators that made sure she was unable to be hacked so easily. They are still cursing the fact that every code they enter has the last number be a zero. |
| 245 | ** A strange connection Burnbot had was with Plankton, who has a computer for a wife. Despite it a recipe for being enemies, Burnbot and Plankton actually get along fairly well. They bond over some scientific jargon nobody knows and even laugh together at some personal stories they share. Plankton now wishes he went and programmed his wife to be so naggy. Not that he wants to cheat of her, of course. |
| 246 | ** She’s weirded out by Kosmo and Nova’s {{Robosexual}} human-robot relationship though nevertheless supports the two. Burnbot has no intention to get romantically involved with anybody but watches how those two’s romance pan out for research purposes. Plus the last time she tried to get into a romantic relationship, Goofball ruined it by telling on Max that she was dating the microwave. |
| 247 | * Exclusive to Goofball: |
| 248 | ** Very much the definition of an obnoxious ghost, Goofball’s entire presence here was made so Max has every button he has pressed by Goofball. From [[FloweryInsults mocking him to mocking him and his show so more]], it did not feel right to not include him in the trio. At least Burnbot enjoys his company where Max does not. |
| 249 | ** Much to the horror of Max, Goofball made friends with two equally obnoxious ghosts in the form of the Flying Dutchman and Gengar. The Flying Dutchman finds hanging out with Goofball a fun reprieve from his usual activities of haunting around on his ship while Genger loves Goofball because they share so much in common. Max could be heard screaming out of his temple and [[HollywoodExorcism calling every exorcist out there]]. |
| 250 | ** And with Max calling every exorcist, he had realized that their services are way too out of budget and opted for the cheaper services of the Ghostbusters. Obviously being familiar with those guys (he did dress as their logo for Halloween), Goofball proves to be a rather finicky ghost to take care of for them. It does not help that they have an on-and-off relationship with Slimer, Goofball’s brother-in-law [[DomesticAbuse who abuses his sister]]. Anyone showing any friendliness to that creep is an enemy on his book. |
| 251 | ** During one of his escapees, Goofball managed to be in close proximity with Gozer and it went as well as one would expect. It was much like how Goofball became one of those spinning gyroscopes where [[VomitIndiscretionShot he ended up puking after spinning so much]]. Goofball really hates Gozer for making him relive that and does not want to be near that entity at all. |
| 252 | ** Made friends with two other pranksters in the name of Kokichi Oma and Bart Simpson. They find having a ghost for a friend amusing and had Goofball incorporated into multiple schemes they have. Goofball happily obliged after seeing the mess that occurs afterward. |
| 253 | ** Is an antithesis to Caspar the Friendly Ghost. In which case for Goofball, he could be called [[{{Expy}} Caspar the Asshole Ghost]]. Goofball is generally annoyed by Caspar who wants him to act nicer especially to Max but Goofball hikes it in a middle on the monologue, not giving a crap. |
| 254 | ** Hilarious befriended Jack Skellington during one Halloween night where Goofball helped reign mischief across the night by Jack’s side. Rubs it in to Max that he befriended the guy Max dresses for Halloween, much to Max’s scorn. |
| 255 | ** Hates Erma Williams for the fact [[https://www.deviantart.com/outcastcomix/art/Erma-Strip-28-586507446 she hangs out with Slimer that one time]]. Erma does not really care for Slimer’s relationship with Goofball but Goofball [[SarcasmMode in all of his infinite wisdom]] tried bringing Erma hell for this. He made her drop her ice cream first. [[NoodleIncident And that was the last time he tried doing anything to her]]. Even Max was mortified by how Goofball returned. |

| 284 | * Japanese television’s most relevant contribution aside from {{anime}} is the {{Tokusatsu}} genre, otherwise known as the shows where people in suits duke it out against each other. The Pantheon has become a hub for many toku deities, but for some reason the TropeMaker of it all has not been present or even mentioned in the slightest. That was until the roar of a motorcycle came cycling into the Pantheon, and its rider being none other than the first of all toku heroes, Moonlight Mask. His arrival was celebrated by all toku heroes thereafter. |
| 285 | * He is very much proud of the legacy he managed to bring to entertainment, with all toku heroes especially noting they take much after him from the SecretIdentity schtick, fighting {{Mook}}s, to even battling the first televised {{Kaiju}}. The Kamen Riders especially note that the {{Cool Bike}}s they use are pretty much traced back to him. Though to be fair, many of the Kamen Riders note they don’t carry actual firearms on them to take care of baddies, something Moonlight Mask always seems to use. Despite being fairly “primitive” as best describe, this makes him stick out from the rest of his toku peers thanks to not having unique powers of his own. He’s just really, really good at his job. |
| 286 | * A good reason why he’s not mentioned that much is that he was cut down at his prime by an extremely powerful opponent even he can’t defeat: ExecutiveMeddling. Basically some kid tried imitating what he does and more or less fell from a fatal height. Not wanting to be liable, [[ScrewedByTheNetwork his show was canned by the network]]. Even though everyone should know this, Moonlight Mask [[DontTryThisAtHome tells people not to try whatever stuff he does]]. |
| 287 | ** In spite of this massive blow, Moonlight Mask did have a long career ahead of him. He still had many FilmSerial coming out after his show’s demise and even a popular anime where he became really popular in South America. Alas, by the time TheEighties really rolled around, Moonlight Mask’s story phased out completely (except for one GagSeries almost twenty years after his last movie) though he was content that others would follow in his footsteps would pick off what he left off, which they did BIG TIME. |
| 288 | * Technically, even he is [[ThereIsAnother proceeded by someone else]] in starting the whole Toku genre. That person being [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Super_Giant Super Giant]], a hero who had appeared in the theaters even before Moonlight Mask arrived onto the scene. Though there is much less known about Super Giant than Moonlight Mask, as ridiculous as that sounds and since Moonlight Mask is the pointed TropeCodifier, Super Giant let Moonlight Mask have this one. |
| 289 | * Most people don’t know who he looks like underneath his mask, [[MultilayerFacade as underneath the outfit is another outfit]]. The only clue to his identity is the strange detective Inspector Iwai who had claimed to also ascend at the exact same time Moonlight Mask had. Whenever people ask him about Moonlight Mask’s identity he is nowhere to be found but Moonlight Mask is. [[WildMassGuessing What could this all mean?]] |
| 290 | * A warrior wearing a mask that rides a motorcycle? [[Franchise/KamenRider What a familiar concept!]] Thanks to this basically inspiring every Kamen Rider ever, Moonlight Mask is considered as the [[HonoraryTrueCompanion VERY first Kamen Rider]] even more so than the Kamen Riders 1 and 2 or even the InUniverse examples. Though Moonlight Mask is quite humble on his position, not wanting to be TheMentor role in the slightest. |
| 291 | * Not really happy that so many [[MonsterOfTheWeek once-a-week]] monsters are running around led by SHOCKER and Dark Specter mostly. Considering he had to go guns blazing on every {{Mook}} he saw, Moonlight Mask is going to prove to be quite a surprise on their end. |
| 292 | * Befriended Yusuke Onedara for the fact he is [[FriendOnTheForce closely working to the police force]] like he was. He’s also friends with Shinnosuke Tomari who IS a detective on the force [[spoiler:just like himself]]. He’s closest to these two Kamen Ridersor of the entire Heisei ones for these reasons. |
| 293 | * Likes how much of a BadassNormal that Mumen Rider is and considers him a true hero when he was willing to give his life away to protect others. Mumen Rider was humbled by Moonlight Mask’s praise though is kinda terrified whenever he sees Moonlight Mask gun down an enemy instead of doing some nonlethal martial arts. |
| 294 | * Has rather... mixed feelings on Gojira. While Moonlight Mask does praise him for saving humanity from time to time, he is quite certain Godzilla really is apathetic to humans at heart. He sees both Mothras in a better light as they genuinely want to protect the planet. |
| 295 | * Probably was the [[{{Expy}} inspiration of how Tuxedo Mask dressed himself]] as. Both Moonlight Mask and Tuxedo Mask are {{Mysterious Protector}}s to generally people they swore to protect (the police and Sailor Guardians respectively), so its no surprise they get along. The fact Tuxedo as Moonlight Knight looks like a copy of him to a T is not lost to both of them. |
| 296 | * Friends with Batman since they are literally [[TheCowl both masked superheroes who go around the city at night]] to stop crime. Helps that both has allies on the police department [[spoiler:since Moonlight Mask is a member of said department]] to aid them in investigating. He’s also friends with a few detectives to replace the his friends who aren’t here. |
| 297 | * Moonlight Mask thinks that Javert has a real problem when it comes to the HonorBeforeReason. [[ChaseScene Javert would like to retort that Moonlight Mask is now to be under arrest for vigilatism but Moonlight Mask was able to run away from the hellbent Javert without having officer assault on his list]]. He would have been easily able to kill him but Moonlight Mask swore he would never take a life... at least if you are not a toku enemy that is. |
| 298 | * His gunho attitude makes him compared with Judge Dredd and The Punisher, a comparison Moonlight Mask does not like since he is neither a KnightTemplar or a NinetiesAntiHero who literally mow down people by the dozens. Judge Dredd sees Moonlight Mask as an obstructer of justice while Frank Castle is just annoyed that the hero isn’t as pragmatic as he is. Either way, Moonlight Mask is not on good terms with both of them. |
| 299 | * Some mistook Moonlight Mask for the Invisible Man thanks looking like he was wearing bandages all around himself. Moonlight Mask went to confront this supposed person who people mistook for him and found a deranged smilarly-dressed man who claimed that Moonlight Mask was copying his look. After a drawn out battle where Moonlight Mask had to fight against an unknown ([[InvisibleStreaker and nude]]) opponent, Moonlight Mask was able to win by shooting his enemy once, finding him through the TrailOfBlood he was leaving. Unfortunately, Moonlight Mask did not know that DeathIsCheap in the Pantheon, so it was a surprise to see the same person he fought come back again the next day [[BoomHeadshot shot him blank in the face]]. It was... a new expereince to say the least. |
| 300 | * Kinda creeps Adachi out thanks to being an asskicking detective, thinking Moonlight Mask is coming after him next. While Moonlight Mask does not particular like the murderer, as long as Adachi isn’t doing anything bad, he’s not on his target list. That made Adachi even more depressed, thinking [[IgnoredEnemy he was not even worth going after]]. |

| 335 | * During the reign of Princess Twilight Sparkle, she sealed all ponies' magic into three crystals that would only work if the three tribes were unified, [[ContinuitySnarl either to]] [[ComicBook/MyLittlePony2022 force them to get along after tensions rose]] or [[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyMakeYourMark protect it from those who wanted to steal it]]. This worked for a while... but eventually, many years later, the three pony tribes went their separate ways and lost their magic as a result. However... not all hope was lost. ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyANewGeneration'' begins with an Earth pony named Argyle Starshine telling his daughter Sunny Starscout about the times when the three pony tribes co-existed in peace, and hoped to reunite them and restore magic. Unfortunately, he died off-screen, leaving Sunny to carry on his legacy. And she succeeded, with the help of her childhood friend and local sheriff Hitch Trailblazer; Izzy, a unicorn who wandered into the Earth pony town of Maretime Bay after finding a message Sunny wrote years ago; and the pegasus princesses Zipp Storm and Pipp Petals. |
| 336 | ** Sunny Starscout was originally a smoothie-seller in Maretime Bay with dreams of becoming an activist. After restoring magic, she became an alicorn... sort of. She's still an Earth pony most of the time, but occasionally her wings and horn come out when she needs to protect her friends. While she has no official authority, she usually takes charge when cleaning up magical catastrophes or settling disputes. Her cutie mark, a shooting star next to two smaller stars, represents her ability to help ponies put aside their differences. |
| 337 | ** Hitch Trailblazer is the sheriff of Maretime Bay. The return of magic gave him the ability to understand animals, and a crab and two seagulls often follow him around. Not long after magic returned, he found an abandoned egg on the beach and raised the dragon within, Sparky, as his own son. His cutie mark, a horseshoe inside a sheriff badge, represents his kindness and ability to not give in to peer pressure. |
| 338 | ** While most of the unicorns in Bridlewood were gloomy without magic, Izzy Moonbow has always been a ray of sunshine. When she first visited Maretime Bay, she was so eager to make a friend that she was oblivious to its residents' panic. She enjoys using arts and crafts to create all sorts of contraptions they need for their adventures. Her cutie mark, a button on top of a heart-shaped pincushion, represents her talent at unicorn upcycling, or "unicycling" for short. |
| 339 | ** Zipp Storm is the older princess of Zephyr Heights, the pegasus city, but you wouldn't guess she was royalty just by looking at her. Pegasi can't fly without magic, but from a young age she figured out the physics of how to glide using parkour, and earned her cutie mark -- a crown on top of a lightning bolt -- as a result. She likes to solve mysteries and gather clues, regardless of how necessary it is. |
| 340 | ** Pipp Petals is the younger princess of Zephyr Heights, and loves being in the spotlight. She's a social media star who can't live without her smartphone, and occasionally sings in concerts, whether at the royal palace or her hair salon in Maretime Bay. Her cutie mark, a crown inside of a pair of eighth notes, represents her love for performing. |
| 341 | ** Unfortunately, the return of magic caught the attention of Opaline Arcana, an evil alicorn who Twilight Sparkle had banished from Equestria long ago. She sent her minion Misty, a lost unicorn she'd taken in, to spy on the five and kidnap Sparky in the hopes of stealing dragon magic for herself. However, the five showed Misty genuine kindness for the first time she could remember, and she began to feel guilty for deceiving them. She earned her cutie mark, a butterfly, when she finally stood up to Opaline and became loyal to her friends. |
| 342 | * Shortly after [[Recap/MyLittlePonyMakeYourMarkS6E4SecretsOfStarlight the New Mane 6 saved the auroracorns from a flying snow leopard]], Izzy awoke with an urge to gather all her friends in the Marestream (their flying campervan) and fly it to a far away place that wasn't on any map. Hitch thought this was a terrible idea, but Sunny trusted Izzy's intuition, and the other mares reluctantly agreed. Their destination turned out to be the Court of the Gods in the Trope Pantheons. The gods told them that since ''A New Generation'' was the first all-CGI production in the franchise that wasn't an online short, they had been chosen to represent the ShiftedToCGI trope. Since none of them knew what CGI ''was'', the gods had to explain it to them, and blew their minds in the process. Except Izzy. She was pretty okay with learning she was a fictional character. A replica of their HomeBase, the Brighthouse, became their temple. |
| 343 | * All of them (especially Sunny) were ecstatic to meet the original Mane 6 (or "Guardians of Harmony") in the Pantheon. Twilight Sparkle was both intrigued and horrified to learn what became of Equestria in her absence. Zipp asks Rainbow Dash about advanced flying techniques. Hitch helps Fluttershy take care of animals from time to time, and Misty enjoys her quiet company. Pipp asks Rarity to make dresses for her, and Izzy sometimes tries to help when she's not hanging out with Pinkie Pie. Applejack is interested in the future Earth ponies' "flora magic", which allows them to make plants grow rapidly. The New Mane 6 had met Spike before, but were surprised that his Pantheon guise was much younger than they knew him. He gained memories of his future, which he tries not to worry about. |
| 344 | * Naturally, they're enemies with gods who want to steal all magic for themselves (such as Jack Horner), destroy it (such as Toffee and P.T. Boomer, especially the latter considering who their high priest is), or kill magic-users (such as Maiev Shadowsong and Emperor Belos). Special mention goes to Tirek, who almost succeeded at stealing all ponies' magic, but fortunately the Guardians of Harmony defeated him. Their relationship with Star Butterfly is a bit more complicated. She ''succeeded'' in destroying all magic in her multiverse, but she did so to prevent a genocidal war... but also killed countless beings that rely on magic to survive in the process. |
| 345 | * Word of Hitch raising a baby dragon travelled around the Pantheon, and it eventually reached Mr. and Mrs. ''Pteranodon''. One evening, after they made sure their children were in safe hands, they went to visit him at the Brighthouse. The three of them talked about the struggles of raising a member of a species they didn't know much about at first, and how they'll one day have to let their children go. As he learned more about Buddy, a lightbulb went off in Hitch's head: he'd get along swimmingly with Misty! Misty had been separated from her family from a young age, and barely knew anything about unicorn culture as a result. After earning her cutie mark, she started remembering her father and eventually found him with her friends' help. While Buddy never learned who his biological parents were, he was overjoyed to meet a ''Tyrannosaurus'' family and spends a lot of time with them. |
| 346 | * Exclusive to Sunny: |
| 347 | ** Sunny hardly spends any time in her temple. Instead, she prefers to travel around the Pantheon, helping any gods she can with their relationship problems. While visiting the Hall of Elemental Pairings, she settled an argument between Ember Lumen and Wade Ripple about how to arrange their furniture... and learned that the latter regrets never being able to repair his relationship with his father before he died. Since Sunny had also lost her father, this struck a chord, and she decided to set up a support group for gods who lost at least one parent during their childhoods. Among its members are Simba and the Plantar siblings. |
| 348 | * Exclusive to Hitch: |
| 349 | ** Hitch has a way with animals, and found himself drawn towards Judy Hopps and Nick Wilde. He was interested to learn that they're also police officers who've had to deal with a lot of FantasticRacism, both on the giving and receiving end, but try to do their best regardless. They once invited him to visit them [[Pantheon/FictionalSettings Zootopia]], and while he had trouble navigating a city built for bipeds, he enjoyed his time there... at least in Savannah Central. He couldn't handle any of the other biomes; Tundra Town was too cold for him and he kept slipping on ice, Sahara Square was too hot, and he kept accidentally standing under the sprinklers in the Rainforest District. Its inhabitants remind him of the various anthropomorphic animals that lived beyond Equestria. |
| 350 | * Exclusive to Izzy: |
| 351 | ** While looking for inspiration for her next unicycling project, Izzy sought help from none other than Angus [=MacGyver=] himself. Together, they made a fog machine out of a blender, an electric fan, and some whipped cream while the other ponies were out of the Brighthouse. Izzy stood in the entrance room, hid herself in the fake fog, and surprised the others when they returned. Most of them were impressed, but Sunny still wants her blender back. |
| 352 | * Exclusive to Zipp: |
| 353 | ** Zipp doesn't enjoy the attention that being royalty brings, preferring to live her own life and do whatever she wants. As it happens, so does Princess Bean. Zipp found Bean passed out drunk in front of a bar in the House of Pantheon/{{Food}}, and carried her on her back to a quieter place. When Bean woke up, she drunkenly rambled about her backstory -- and the part about Bean's father remarrying caught Zipp's attention. Her mother, Queen Haven, started dating a unicorn named Alphabittle... who turned out to be Misty's father. Awkward. Zipp talked about her life when Bean sobered up, and they've been close friends ever since. |
| 354 | * Exclusive to Pipp: |
| 355 | ** Pipp isn't sure what to make of Nazuna Hiwatashi. On one hoof, they're both idol singers who fly over their audiences while they're performing. On the other hoof, Nazuna deceived her audience by [[GodGuise pretending to be a god]]. Sure, Pipp used to deceive ''her'' audience by using wires to pretend she could fly without magic, but that's nowhere near as drastic. Pipp has only spoken to Nazuna a couple of times, and can't decide if they'd be friends or not. |
| 356 | ** Pipp was delighted to learn there are other social media stars in the Pantheon. Astra also comes from a prestigious family, but his passion lies in Apptube videos where he does bizarre challenges such as swimming in slime. While Pipp focuses on vlogging, she once accidentally created a trend where ponies would go to Mane Melody to see if they could tolerate her stinky hoof polish... it was embarrassing, to say the least. Astra promotes Pipp's concerts around the Pantheon, while Musicmon helps her with the sound setup. Kayla Day is another social media star, but she's very shy and makes self-help videos. As a result, Pipp has never asked her to do a collab, but they still get along. Pipp admires Kayla for starting her social media career at such a young age; she's barely older than some of Pipp's fans. |
| 357 | * Exclusive to Misty: |
| 358 | ** When word that Misty once kidnapped a baby dragon spread around the Pantheon, Spyro was horrified. He went to confront her and nearly burned her to a crisp, until Misty exclaimed that she'd redeemed herself since then. She sat down with Spyro to explain her history, which reminded him of Bianca, a struggling rabbit mage who helped the Sorceress steal all the dragon eggs. The next day, Spyro arranged for them to meet. Bianca told Misty that she thought kidnapping dragons was for the greater good because it would restore magic to the Forgotten Realms, but when she realised the Sorceress wanted to kill the baby dragons to make an immortality potion, she turned over to Spyro's side and helped save them. Unfortunately, the Sorceress is still at large in the Pantheon, and Misty dreads the possibility of meeting her... |

| 398 | * Annoys: Guts, [[Pantheon/{{Travel}} Samurai Jack]] (Fighter) [[Pantheon/{{Humanoids}} Orion, Varsuuvius]] (Thief) |
| 399 | * In the land of Corneria, there was a legend of four warriors of light who arrive and save the world from a great evil and prove it with the Orbs of Light. But by the time they arrived, the role was already taken by tricking the king with lightbulbs as the Orbs[[note]]the king was '''really''' stupid[[/note]]. These Warriors of Light would later be pushed around by Sarda to find four elemental trinkets, supposedly as a SecretTestOfCharacter but really just to mess with them. And as the group range from psychotic, to criminal, to lunatic and to good, but very stupid, this let to a lot of casualties around the world. |
| 400 | * Applies to the lot |
| 401 | ** Originally they ascended with separate tropes, before grouping up under one sub-genre of GamingWebcomics...[[TeethClenchedTeamwork though only Fighter really wanted them to group up]]. White Mage seems to have organized this as a means of containing with them and pressuring them into working together for something good...though wanting [[DumbIsGood Fighter to wrangle]] her AbhorrentAdmirer might be a factor[[note]]he's also the only Light Warrior she likes[[/note]]. For the most part they don't have hard feelings for her despite her contempt for the pain they caused and [[FakeUltimateHero not even being real Light Warriors]]. Sarda feels they deserve [[FateWorseThanDeath far worse]], though she feels he has little room to talk as [[RealityWarper he has enough power to stop them from ever causing trouble]] but prefers being a {{Jerkass}} motivated by revenge. [[spoiler:Granted, [[StableTimeLoop he could legitimately not be able to do so]], [[FreudianExcuseIsNoExcuse but that doesn't justify not using his powers for good]]. ]] |
| 402 | ** They are based on the original heroes of [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyI the first Final Fantasy game]], except [[AdaptationalVillainy made into unstable maniacs]] [[BlackComedy because it's that kind of gaming webcomic]]. [[AudienceColoringAdaptation A lot of people think the OG classes were like them]]...though [[FeaturelessProtagonist their characterization was always up to the player anyway]]. They're part of one of the first major [[SpriteComic sprite comics]] too, debuting less than a year after ''Webcomic/BobAndGeorge''. The titular brothers think Red and Black Mage [[EveryoneHasStandards are too nuts for their taste]], but Fighter got along with George since he's an actual hero. Whenever he doesn't try to steal his wallet Thief is a friend to Bob as they love meeting a cunning and snarky bad guy within the nonsense they deal with on a daily basis. |
| 403 | ** Vivi greeted Fighter with a degree of warmth and despite disliking how stupid he was, the original Fighter of the actual Warriors of Light came around to him. Every other Final Fantasy hero, especially said actual Warriors of Light, sees Fighter's comrades as a disgrace to their title. Aerith holds a personal disgust for Black Mage because along with his immense evil, he gives a bad name to black mages like Vivi and has a creepy crush on another WhiteMage. [[Pantheon/{{Heroism}} Cosmos]] has blacklisted all but Fighter for meetings, and it's not like Lord Chaos wants them either since he planned to destroy their world in a cake-pocalypse, including Black Mage. The latter does get along with a couple Final Fantasy villains; Emperor Mateus and Kefka. [[HellHasNewManagement You can]] [[OmnicidalManiac guess why]]. But at the same time he's all too willing to stab them in the back... and that's no metaphor. |
| 404 | ** They've been called the Blight Warriors as on a good day, they're the DestructiveSaviour type of hero...[[VillainProtagonist though except for Fighter they'd be the antagonist in any other story]]. The group are considered to be as bad, if not worse at being heroes than the Seven, who find them a useful opponent to get good PR at foiling. The Brotherhood of Evil were surprised the Warriors of Light ''aren't'' a supervillain team and they consider them a potential monkey wrench with their shenanigans. The Guardians of the Galaxy, an AntiHeroTeam, think they're [[EvilCounterpart a worse version of themselves]]. Despite their own faults at living up to their virtues, the Seven Heavenly Virtues think the "Light Warriors" go too far. And while he's the official FakeUltimateHero of the pantheon, Mr Satan can't stand them. [[TokenGoodTeammate Naturally, Fighter was exempt from this scathing criticism]]...he's simply in proximity of it. |
| 405 | ** Despite their notoriety the group does have one ally, if only because they could all agree on her being [[SixthRanger a fifth ranger]]; Gudako. An UnsympatheticComedyProtagonist of the same kind of absurd parody [[Webcomic/EightBitTheater they know all too well]] and possessing the kind of audacious behavior and personality after Red Mage's own heart. Admittedly she was more inclined to working with those who could tolerate her madness and [[ItAmusedMe for the lulz]], and [[PsychoLesbian she's annoyed at the lack of cute girls]]. Half the Light Warriors tend to be on good terms despite equally willing to stab each other in the bank with the [[Creator/MarvelComics Marvel]] SatanicArchetype Mephisto. He loves just how good Thief is at exploiting the LoopholeAbuse and other legal structures, and adores how depraved Black Mage is. He doesn't try scamming the former though, [[WorthyOpponent as they'd end in a legal standstill]]. |
| 406 | ** The group ''very'' briefly tried to work with the Epic Battle Fantasy Team, as they're an AffectionateParody of the JRPG genre more so than even themselves. However despite their flaws, said team are actually heroic on average. Plus even [[TokenEvilTeammate Lance]] [[EvenEvilHasStandards can't stand Black Mage]], though this is partly because he's more militaristic in his evil [[StupidEvil than the reckless Black Mage]]...plus [[WellIntentionedExtremist he actually has a reason for being evil]]. That said, Fighter and Matt still love to hang out with each other as they're lovable sword-wielding dumbasses, while Thief is fond of Nolegs for being a cat with a high thief skill [[HandicappedBadass despite, well, having no legs]]. The Warriors of Light later tried to work with Kazuma's dysfunctional party, only for him to refuse as [[TokenGoodTeammate except for Fighter]] the Warriors of Light ''absolutely deserve'' their bad reputation. |
| 407 | * Applies to Black Mage |
| 408 | ** By far, Black Mage Evilwizardington is the most evil of the Light Warriors [[CardCarryingVillain and he loves every minute of it]]. A BlackMage with a penchant for stabbing and incredibly destructive BlackMagic, he initially ascended under the VillainProtagonist mantle. He's considered the most evil being in his home universe, though in the Trope Pantheon there beings [[CompleteMonster even worse than him]] [[KnightOfCerebus and are treated as such]]. [[EvilerThanThou He tries his best, though]], but comes off as StupidEvil more than anything. Unsurprisingly, he and Wyald are buds, with BM [[TheBrute finding him]] the Fighter he always wanted[[note]][[VitriolicBestBuds though deep down he may feel differently]][[/note]]. |
| 409 | ** Knows every black magic spell in the book, and has recently written a thousand-page book with names of all of the enemies he plans to horribly punish. So far, he's only on page three, but has still made incredible progress. Black Mage writes in Microdot, and to the untrained eye, the pages all look like they've been dyed black. His Hadouken subverts ThePowerOfLove in a big way; it uses love as a fuel and decreases the amount of love in the world. Hence why Black Mage is despised by the House of Love and Affection. This is especially due to his creepy crush towards White Mage, as he's not above poisoning [[ILoveTheDead and potentially committing necrophilia]] on her to get what he want. [[NoodleIncident He also did something that made self-love an atrocity]]. Those who utilize ThePowerOfLove or represent the force hate him too, in case you're wondering. |
| 410 | ** Black Mage doesn't have allies [[ChronicBackstabbingDisorder because loyalty means nothing to him]] and he's considered a loose canon by the GUAE despite being a card-carrying member. Instead he has "friends", like the Keeper (a fellow VillainProtagonist) and Belkar (a former follower). They're still stab each other in the back, but he actually likes hanging out with him. While Black Mage is not a CompleteMonster [[MadeOfEvil for]] [[UnsympatheticComedyProtagonist a few]] [[LaughablyEvil reasons]], he does click with a few; Xykon is another petty psychotic dick who uses black magic, and he likes Junko's "kink" [[HopeCrusher of trying to consume the world he hates with despair]] even if he lacks [[TooKinkyToTorture her emotional masochism]]. Molag Bal was amused by all this and how far BM is willing to go to be evil. |
| 411 | *** Despite being about as psychopathic and violent Konrad and Black Mage don't get along. They started out as friends, but became rivals since Konrad [[BerserkButton was set over the edge when BM pointed out his lack of magic skill]]. |
| 412 | ** Technically follows Melkor, but like Chaos this is only in the "so I can use his dark power for my own purposes" sense. As Black Mage is too much of a CosmicPlaything to pull [[TheStarscream a starscream]] on Melkor, the Dark Lord of Arda tolerates this and his sycophantic worship of over [[GodOfEvil gods of evil]] as a sort of court jester. The Ebon Dragon however wants Black Mage to be ''his'' court jester [[ChronicBackstabbingDisorder as he relates to him]] [[StupidEvil so much]]. [[MadeOfEvil As a nexus of dark magic]] Black Mage has the potential to become a GodOfEvil in himself were he not a ButtMonkey. Hating everything but himself [[VillainousCrush and White Mage]], he's capable of bonding to a degree with Mephisto in their [[ThePowerOfHate power of hate]]. He likes Rau Le Creuset's misanthropy, however he considers the wizard [[EvenEvilHasStandards an unhinged lunatic]] and useless for his own [[OmnicidalManiac omnicidal mania]]. |
| 413 | ** The House of Pantheon/DeathAndPostmortem has chosen not to count any death he experiences in order to keep him from entering Hell; last time he did so his lack of limitations from a flesh and blood body [[HellHasNewManagement had him take over the place]]. When alive he's a manageable CosmicPlaything. Granted Ammit and Beerus [[CessationOfExistence can just bypass that part]], which is why BM is terrified of them. The Satan of South Park has suggested they could send him [[CoolAndUnusualPunishment to Heaven]] instead, which got him the stink-eye from BM. Dis actually sees him as a rival for his unholy domain as being trapped in a glacier [[TheDevilIsALoser and having lost all luster]], a Black Mage unbounded by material existence could pull a sneaky and rob him of what power he has left there. |
| 414 | * Applies to Fighter |
| 415 | ** If Fighter [=McWarrior=] is a villain, [[AntiVillain it's in name only]] as he's incredibly gullible and thinks Black Mage is his bestest friend (despite trying to kill him on numerous occasions) and the rest of the Light Warriors are misunderstood. Compared to his companions he's more pitied by the situation he's in, [[StupidGood as he's too stupid to realize any better]]. He honestly believes Veigar to be Black Mage due to his appearance. Veigar's attitude and horrific treatment of Fighter only encourage the misconception. He ''really'' loves swords, and he spends his off-time fanboying at the Hall of Swords. He really likes Guts proving how he can make such an unwieldly blade as the Dragonslayer useful. Guts would rather he just piss off since he keeps pestering him for an autograph. |
| 416 | ** There's an upside to his low IQ: [[AchievementsInIgnorance ignorance is literally strength]]. If he wants to be on multiple teams at once, or believes himself to be in several places at once, it will be so. Once formed a team made up of three of himself and a pirate, and later battled four of himself to the death. He can fly due to having "defeated gravity," and if he forgets, he just blocks the ground to avoid falling damage. Due to his combination of a pure heart and an empty skull, he is one of few who can use Samurai Jack's katana, much to Jack's frustration at his stupidity. |
| 417 | ** If stabbed in the head, Fighter can become smarter. [[Pantheon/AquaticLife Cloyster]] believes if a Shellder clamped on her head, it'd have the same result of Slowking. However this would come at the cost of his power of defying reality through sheer stupidity, which is what got him into the pantheon in the first place; The House of Knowledge celebrated his leaving of their house. Billy was an exception as he's even stupider than Fighter, but still comparably dumb enough to relate to him. Fighter is also one of a handful of deities not put off by Jar Jar Binks, and he's also friends with Kick-Ass due to being a loser but still heroic. Another friend of Fighter is Finn due to his love of swords. Finn considers Fighter like himself before his CharacterDevelopment and wishes he could realize how clearly evil Black Mage is, but likes him enough to be friends. |
| 418 | ** With his [[DumbIsGood niceness and naivety]] he doesn't outright hate anyone, [[BerserkButton though he'll challenge you to a fight if you say swords are bad weapons]]. He's been able to win a sword in a gunfight despite being shot by not knowing how dangerous bullets are. His idiocy and ability to defy the odds through it led Isaac Newton to lug apples at him for his defiance of gravity. To date, there is only one god Fighter truly hated, if by the prodding of Finn; the Lich. [[CompleteMonster He stands against everything good and just]], and is both clever enough to both anticipate Fighter's AchievementsInIgnorance and thick-skinned enough to not be caught up in annoyance towards his stupidity. Plus he had bad experience with a lich for [[DeathIsCheap "killing"]] Black Mage. |
| 419 | ** Most of the House Of Weapons shuns him due to his habit of taking swords and nunchucks and gluing them together. However if you do love swords, even if you're ObviouslyEvil, Fighter will call you a friend; [[HorribleJudgeOfCharacter surely someone who uses such a noble weapon]] [[BlatantLies has to have a good heart, right?]] A number of heroic swordsmen want to teach Fighter more of the craft as sheer strength is something he's clearly good at. He's enamoured with Cloud's blade, but like other swordsmen they can only hang around for so long before feeling their braincells dying. Fighter has pioneered his own weapon in [[InstantChucks sword-chucks]], which are hilariously impractical and require immense dexterity to use without hurting yourself. [[AwesomeButImpractical But when they work, they put in the work]]. |
| 420 | * Applies to Red Mage |
| 421 | ** Red Mage Statscowski is the delusional strategist and self-proclaimed "fractational genius" who believes he lives in an RPG world, mainly tabletop games; "believes" is the key word. In reality he's a delusional MasterOfNone {{Munchkin}}, the latter role being taken by Belkar Bitterleaf...and he's very sour about that. Red Mage hero worships Gygax and Arneson [[WrongGenreSavvy due to how he views the world]], but they want nothing to do with them. He's allegedly the last Red Mage, but because [[{{Cloudcuckoolander}} reality is a suggestion to him]] it's more likely he isn't even an official Red Mage as no-one would be stupid enough to give him an official position. [[TooDumbToLive Granted, if they did it would explain why he's the last Red Mage]]. |
| 422 | ** Due to Red Mage's claim that "In the arena of logic, I fight unarmed", the Hall of Pantheon/{{Logic}} has declared he will only be able to visit again if he beats one of their deities in barehanded combat. As he feels this would ruin his stat distribution, he's unwilling to do so. Instead he seeks to gain divine knowledge and power by understanding the Datasphere, and in lieu of that access the Truth. Fortunately he hasn't figured out human transmutation [[TooSpicyForYogSothoth as the Truth doesn't want to be near him]]. He has sought out wisdom from Hermaeus Mora, who is annoyed by his lunacy and wonders if the reason he's like the way he is [[TheseAreThingsManWasNotMeantToKnow is that he already looked for forbidden knowledge]]. |
| 423 | ** Believes that [[ItRunsOnNonsensoleum the less sense something makes, the more likely it is to succeed]]. His absurdly complicated gambits that don't go anywhere tickle Tzeentch bluer, and [[ThroughTheEyesOfMadness Red Mage is so nuts he's gained some understanding of the Chaos God]]. However because it's funny, any attempt to exploit this through his delusions failed miserably. Despite how alienating his insanity is, one lucid deity actually likes talking forbidden and fantastic knowledge with him; Dr Viktor. Sure he still thinks Red Mage is insane, but he likes his spirit in trying to gain that knowledge in spite of the absurd methods. |
| 424 | ** [[EvilutionaryBiologist Has supposedly made nature his bitch]] through animal husbandry...and many abhorrent breeding practices in order to create the perfect Chocobo. They've heard [[TorturedMonster the abominations he's made]], and will assault Red Mage at any opportunity. The House of Beasts and Fauna unilaterly chose to ban him entry, especially the Hall of Pantheon/MesozoicBeasts since he destroyed dinosaurs with a PuffOfLogic once. An upside is that he never has to face the Kraken since it reminds him of an EldritchAbomination [[FaceFullOfAlienWingWong that impregnated him with a monster]]. For the same reason he's afraid of the Facehugger. Despite what people expected, he wasn't also kicked out from the House of Pantheon/{{Gaming}} for his rants about "stat distribution" and how he feels [[WrongGenreSavvy its rules apply everywhere else]]; he tends to act calm and well-behaved there anyway, since he loves the house. |
| 425 | ** Being so detached from reality, Red Mage [[StrangeMindsThinkAlike is perfectly capable of talking with and understanding Bizarro without any problem]]. [[HeroWithAnFInGood While he's not a good person, on some level Red Mage thinks he's heroic]] like Bizarro sees himself as. Chin is another friend by virtue of insane delusion and their hero complex, though RM [[EvenEvilHasStandards wishes he wasn't so Sinophobic]]. |
| 426 | * Applies to Thief |
| 427 | ** Though the most normal of the Light Warriors, [[OnlySaneByComparison this is very much relative]]. Prince Thief of the Khlee'ber Clan is a scheming MiserAdvisor [[CantArgueWithElves who insists in the superiority of elves]], not helped by [[AlwaysChaoticEvil every elf of his world being as much of a smug git as him]]. An ImpossibleThief par excellence, his initial ascension to the House of Justice before being moved with the rest of the Light Warriors was something the House of Crime felt hilarious. To the loathing of beings like Smaug, he rivals Carmen Sandiago in the power to steal riches. The two get along, as do his rivals, but in the "I bet I could steal more than you!" [[WorthyOpponent type of camaraderie]]. Despite his notoriety in the House of Commerce, he and Moneybags are friend since the bear loves his ability to scam and fee money out of adventurers even more than himself. Spyro naturally wants to headbutt Thief until he learns his lesson too. |
| 428 | ** Like Black Mage [[ChronicBackstabbingDisorder he's not trustworthy enough for permanent allies]], but he does have "friends" (he'll scam them, but otherwise likes hanging out with them) and rivals (he'll grift them, but welcome them to try and out-grift him). [[MiserAdvisor Miser advisors]] like Haley Starshine, scheming traitors like, Starscream and the Spy, greedy Mr Krabs...all his "friends[[note]]probably actual friends, but he won't admit it[[/note]]". Uber-greedy folks like Wario and Larfleeze serve as his [[WorthyOpponent "fun enemies"]]. Thief stands out with his former trope of ReadTheFinePrint in order to rope and scam people, having invented ultra-fine print. This sheer act of legal binding money-grubbingness got him two thumbs up from Asmodeus, even after he used the House of Pantheon/TimeAndTemporality to go back and copyright the gesture. Thief didn't like doing it, though, because the last time he used time shenanigans [[HoistByHisOwnPetard he stole stats from his future self]]. |
| 429 | ** Nothing can shake his infallible belief that elves are the MasterRace, and whenever the flaws in his argument are pointed out he'll delve into InsaneTrollLogic more suited for his companions to justify it, such as when it's pointed out that they're as technologically advanced as humans despite having a 9000 year head start. Those [[Pantheon/Warhammer40000 from the Imperium of Mankind]] find him as insufferably smug as the Eldar, only for Thief to point out [[NotSoDifferentRemark they're just as much as prone to xenophobia and belief in their species' own superiority]]. Disgusted by Slaanesh, Thief is supporting Eldrad and the Eldar in hopes they survive. Other elves tend to be either annoyed by his CulturalPosturing or a poor example of elves. Thief himself opposes Malekith the Accursed for being a vicious dark elf who's Black Mage levels of villainy, [[CompleteMonster if not more]]. |
| 430 | ** The Kecleon Brothers' hatred of thieves led them to hate him for being so good at it, managing to trick them with insurance scams from unleashing their wrath upon him. Smaug went into an absolute berserker rage when Thief stole ''all'' of his treasures, which forced ''[[Pantheon/BeastsAndFauna Io]]'' to step in and make him give them back to stop another great war. Sirius Black hates him for personal reasons due to how he's been screwed by the law, and the Incubators are still sore about what [[Pantheon/MagicAndSorcery Madoka]] and [[Pantheon/TimeManipulation Homura]] did. Larfleeze doesn't like Thief much, but more that he sees him as the only person who could dethrone him in avarition and take his stuff. Despite seeing him as a rival Thief doesn't want to try and kill him or take his Orange Lantern Ring [[PragmaticVillainy as either scenario would make him an Orange Lantern and lose his wits]]. It's just not worth the power boost for him. |
| 431 | ** Despite being so avaricious that he would fee ''clouds'', his reaction to the leader of the Drukhari was [[EvenEvilHasStandards "congratulations, you made Black Mage look like]] ALighterShadeOfBlack". He's less iffy on Walder Frey, but he is annoyed that he ''thinks'' he's following PragmaticVillainy [[EvilIsPetty when in reality]] [[StupidEvil it's anything but]]. He also mocked him for being a DirtyOldMan, only for him to scoff "you know you're a lot older than me". [[EvenEvilHasStandards Thief's not incapable of sympathy either]]; he initially joined the Light Warriors to get the resources to cure his father, and he has a wife. His love for his father is why despite admitting Mannfred can be a cunning schemer and he's just as duplicitous, he cannot overlook Mannfred causing his "father's" death. |

| 472 | *** Dee Dee: BigEater deities, with special mentions being [[Pantheon/{{Food}} Kirby]], [[Pantheon/AnimalCompanions Yoshi]], and [[Pantheon/MealsAToM Lemres]] |
| 473 | * Opposes: [[Pantheon/{{Canines}} Huehuecoyotl]] (Oggy only) |
| 474 | * FriendlyEnemy: Each other |
| 475 | * Fear: [[Pantheon/CraftingMaterials Villager]] (Cockroaches only) |
| 476 | * Oggy is a blue cat living in a house somewhere in Europe. Despite living a relatively simple life, he is constantly tormented by three cockroaches, Joey, Marky and Dee Dee. This insect trio more or less exists to torture Oggy and steal his food. And while the roaches do occasionally get away with it, they do sometimes get their comeuppance. |
| 477 | * One morning, many of the deities are suddenly awakened by loud noises from outside their temples. They went out to see the blue cat chasing the cockroaches, who are carrying his food supply. When the gods in the Main House was informed of this fact, they eventually identify them as Oggy and the Cockroaches, famous characters from France. They eventually allow the four to have a spot in the Pantheon. |
| 478 | * Their home in the pantheon consists of two parts. One resembling a furnished house where Oggy lives, and the other being air vents where the cockroaches lurk. This is where most of their conflicts take place, though they also frequently cause mayhem elsewhere in the Pantheon. |
| 479 | * Oggy and the roaches frequently visit the House of Weapons, looking for weapons good enough to outdo each other. |
| 480 | * The roaches are considering pranking Oggy by sneaking Mystery Food X into his cabinet and hope Oggy will eat it. This has thankfully yet to happen, due to other deities stopping such attempts. |
| 481 | * Oggy: |
| 482 | ** Oggy gets along with most fellow felines in the Pantheon, most notably Bastet, due to her rule over cats. He also struck friendship with Ichigo Momomiya due to her appearance. |
| 483 | ** Oggy is a regular visitor to the House of Food, due to his love of eating. For this reason he also gets along with Kirby, another big eater. Oggy rarely invites him, though, for fear that he will deplete Oggy's supply. |
| 484 | *** He gets along with many deities who like to eat. |
| 485 | ** He has a low opinion on any deity who will willingly prank him, or others, and steal their food. Aside from the roaches themselves, Screwy Squirrel is one of his biggest enemies due to his nature. |
| 486 | ** He gets along well with Hoto Cocoa and the Rabbit House crew due to his love of cuisine. Everytime the roaches try to steal from them, both are quick to team up and fight them. |
| 487 | ** Frequently, Oggy will even visit the House of Profession to take various jobs. Sometimes he invites his cousin Jack. This almost invariably just ended with them, and involved deities, being tormented by the roaches. |
| 488 | ** He is know to have a girlfriend named Olivia, who he [[spoiler:ultimately marries]]. He sometimes likes to invite her to the Pantheon for a vacation. |
| 489 | ** Apparently, he fears mice at one point, though he no longer displays this traits later. He also dislikes water, which is also no longer the case later on. |
| 490 | * Cockroaches: |
| 491 | ** Due to the roaches' nature, the roaches have very few allies. The House of Food particularly puts them on their red list due to their hobby of stealing food. |
| 492 | *** A particularly bad case is when they decide to raid Kirby's temple. Upon coming face to face with the pink puffball, they underestimate his capabilities and attack him. It didn't end well, and from that day they consistently run away from him whenever he approaches. Other deities who like to eat also similarly despise them, though none of those are nearly as powerful as Kirby and so they will pester and steal from them as they wish regardless. |
| 493 | *** And on a related note, quite a lot of deities oppose them since that whenever they're not stealing food, they just pull pranks on them. This gets to the point where Oggy occasionally bonds with those deities to get back at the roaches. |
| 494 | ** One of the very few allies they have is Hollow Knight. When they decide to prank The Radiance one day, they severely underestimate her capabilities. They were very nearly toast, until the Knight appears to save them. From that day on, they swear to never show malice to the little guy. |
| 495 | *** Speaking of insects, Marky once tried to romance Queen Sectonia. He almost ended up destroyed before his cohorts saved him. |
| 496 | ** The roaches spend their days looking for fellow cockroaches in the Pantheon. The closest thing they found are the Terraformars. Unfortunately, they're not as docile as they think. In fact, they are so dangerous that they are willing to team up with Oggy and several other deities who otherwise oppose them to fight the Terraformars. |
| 497 | ** Dee Dee, due to his love of eating, has made an odd friendship with Stocking. The two has been exchanging sweets since they met. [[spoiler:Though this might be part of a gambit involving Dee Dee.]] |
| 498 | *** Similarly, they get along with King K. Rool as they heard of him liking to steal bananas and seeing many thing in common with him. |
| 499 | ** They fear the Villager, due to his love of catching insects. The Villager is one of the very few deities they will leave alone. |
| 500 | * They also have an additional seat in Pantheon/TheatricConvention. |

| 522 | * Enemies: [[Pantheon/VillainousAppearances Airy]] |
| 523 | * Admires: Everyone hailing from Shonen Mangas (especially if they are from ''Magazine/ShonenJump'' or their story is "dark shonen"), especially Rohan Kishibe. |
| 524 | * Admired by: [[Pantheon/HairColor Yayoi Kise]], [[Pantheon/OtherEmotions Murakumo]], [[Pantheon/CommercialArchetypes Nagi Sanzen'in]] |
| 525 | * Opposes: [[FanDumb Unreasonable Fandoms]] |
| 526 | * Uneasy around: [[Pantheon/MagicCasters Tharja]] |
| 527 | * They ascended after they got their Manga Reversi made into an Anime. It took them lots of [[ShownTheirWork research]], moral-testing, [[TheDeterminator effort and patience]] but they actually did it! |
| 528 | * The first thing they did after moving all of their stuff into The new studio that is their temple was to go autograph-hounding since they couldn't believe that the characters they have been reading were real. |
| 529 | ** Currently, they have the autographs of the deities from ''Anime/DragonBallZ, Manga/{{Naruto}}, Manga/OnePiece, Manga/{{Bleach}}, Franchise/{{Yugioh}}'' and ''Manga/JojosBizarreAdventure'' (from ''Magazine/ShonenJump'') and ''Manga/FutureDiary'' and ''Manga/DeathNote'' (from "dark shonen". ''[[GoKartingWithBowser Yes]]''). They are still looking for more (Like Eren Yeagar's, which will be even more of a chore for them to get if you remember [[Pantheon/{{Protagonists}} where he is]]). |
| 530 | * For your information, their real names are Moritaka Mashiro and Akito Takagi. Muto Ashirogi is just a pen name they use for themselves as a whole since they work together on their Mangas. They are not related to [[Pantheon/{{Gaming}} Yugi Muto]] in any way for this reason (though they do get along). |
| 531 | ** Also, their "followers" aren't so much followers as they're rivals. All of them are trying to get their position or to get ascended in any other way to keep competing, so they will resent it if you call any of them that (At least in front of them). In particular, Eiji Niizuma seems to be eager to accomplish either one... |
| 532 | * They seem to get along with the [=ToQgers=] and Alice, both of whom seem to be really impresed with their creativity at the time of making a story. |
| 533 | * In spite of prefering unconventional Shonen premises (AKA [[WhatDoYouMeanItsForKids "dark shonen"]]), they only make those for the sake of creating interesting stories for the entertainment of everyone. It's for this reason that they don't like Drosselmeyer at all, who creates angsty stories for angst's sake and makes all of his ''living'' characters suffer. |
| 534 | * Can be found in their temple most of the time, brainstorming ideas for their mangas or working on the manga. Or researching in the Library, or in the House of Love, [[spoiler:in their honeymoon with their wives]]. |
| 535 | ** Mashiro met Tsubaki Yayoi there, who thought that the reason why he started working on manga (his love for Miho [[spoiler:that he managed to get married with her]]) was so romantic. [[ShrinkingViolet He]] wasn't able to do anything but blush and nod to all of her statements and avoided the House of Love [[spoiler:after his honeymoon ended]] for a while. Mind you, he did like Tsubaki as a friend but the subject is still a bit awkward for him. |
| 536 | * They are admired by the Doujinshi-Makers Nagi Sanzen'in, Yayoi Kise and Murakumo since they represent what they want to become. They respond to this by giving them tips and advice and telling them to never give up on their dream. |
| 537 | ** Hiyori Tamura also likes them but she horrifies them. Not only did they not like to find out that the Doujinshi she made was all about... ''[[{{Yaoi}} that]]'', it definitely horrified them when they saw that one was about them. |
| 538 | * Mashiro has become friends with Sailor Moon, Hinata Hyuga and Mikuru Asahina. He wasn't really expecting girls to have [[Creator/StephanieSheh a voice]] similar to Miho. He has wondered if he should write a manga from Hinata's perspective so Miho could ascend to voice her. He and Takagi were also very amused to hear [[Creator/SaoriHayami her voice]] in Aila Jyrkaiänen. |
| 539 | ** The same could not be said about Airy. Mashiro cringed and really hated to hear her voice from such a vile villain and hopes she never voices someone like her. |
| 540 | ** While she might not be that evil, hearing Miho's voice from Tharja has given both mangakas the creeps. |
| 541 | * At first Ashirogi believed that [[TheRival Eiji Niizuma]] ascended but it wasn't the case, they just [[Creator/NobuhikoOkamoto heard]] Accelerator from the distance. Ironically, Accelerator himself confused [[Creator/AtsushiAbe Mashiro]] for Touma Kamijou. Much laughter ensued from Takagi's side. They eventually met with Touma and befriended him. |
| 542 | ** Takagi practically had a field day when he heard his partner's [[Creator/MichaelSinterniklaas voice]] coming from Ataru Moroboshi and Guy Shishioh, since he couldn't believe that his friend could sound so "perverted" or hot-blooded. Mashiro once tried to pay him with the same coin... And failed because the only god in the Pantheon who sounded similar to him was Yuji Sakai, who really doesn't sound so different from [[Creator/SatoshiHino him]]. |
| 543 | * Don't mention the name [[spoiler:Taro Nanamine]] on their presence, '''''EVER'''''. Muto Ashirogi might not be as dangerous as Tron but gosh does it have the same effect as mentioning Dyson. The reason being that [[spoiler:he's a deluded fanboy, a cheating cheater that cheats and is an utter disgrace to the very trope they represent]]. |
| 544 | * Another thing that annoys them to no end is FanDumb. When [[spoiler:Nanamine]] was eventually spotted near their temple, Yayoi, Murakumo and Nagi drove him away from there. This earned them a scolding from Ashirogi as soon as they got [[spoiler:Nanamine]] out of the Pantheon, telling them that '''nobody''' deserves to be lynched on like that by crazy fans. [[spoiler:They are talking from experience. ''Especially'' [[YokoOhNo Mashiro]]]]. |
| 545 | ** This has made Mashiro bond with Masaya Aoyama and Ron Weasley[[spoiler:, who get A LOT MORE of this treatment]]. |
| 546 | * Despite Shonen being their area of expertise, they seem to know a lot about the writers and writing process behind the members of the Pantheon/SuperSentai. In fact, that knowledge and their rival's words inspired them to make one of their mangas. They seem like they could get along with any of them (apart from the aforementioned [=ToQers=]). |
| 547 | * Currently working on a manga based on [[Pantheon/NiceAndNasty Jin Kisaragi]], on Tsubaki's request. They have decided to call it ''Blue Ice Prince Jin Kisaragi''. |
| 548 | * When Rohan ascended, he instantly declared them rivals. The two were happy to see another Shonen Jump character ascend, and look up to him greatly. |
