| 18 | * UnwittingPawn to: [[spoiler:[[Pantheon/RuinAndDestruction Pestilence the Horseman]]]] |
| 19 | * "Allies" (or those who ''think'' they are allies with him): [[Pantheon/FamilyDynamics Mana Ouma]], [[Pantheon/{{Costumes}} Albert Wesker]], [[Pantheon/BetrayalAndTreachery Shiro Tagachi]], [[Pantheon/{{Zombies}} The Gravemind]], [[Pantheon/EyeAppearances William Birkin/"G"]] |
| 20 | * Rivals: [[Pantheon/{{Electricity}} Cole MacGrath]], [[Pantheon/PowerLevelsAndAppearance Molly Hayes]], [[Pantheon/TragedyAndDespair Alma Wade]] |
| 21 | * Enemies: '''[[TheDreaded EVERYONE]]''' in the Pantheon can be his target, especially Human deities. |
| 22 | ** In terms of specifics: '''[[Pantheon/HeroicArchetypes Rick Taylor/The Terror Mask]], [[Pantheon/MannersOfDeath Kessler]], [[Pantheon/{{Electricity}} Cole MacGrath]]''' (also borders on rivals), [[Pantheon/SoldierArchetypesAToM Master Chief]], [[Pantheon/SocialAndRecreationalWork Isaac Clarke]], [[Pantheon/{{Heroism}} Commander Shepard]], [[Pantheon/SoldierArchetypesAToM The Doom Slayer]], [[Pantheon/ActsOfWar Serious Sam]], [[Pantheon/EffectsOfPopularity James Howlett]]/[[Pantheon/WeaponizedAppendages Wolverine]], [[Pantheon/{{Sinners}} Kratos]], [[Pantheon/{{Ambiguity}} Spawn]], [[Pantheon/PhysicalAppearance Erma Williams]], [[Pantheon/TragedyAndDespair Alma Wade]], [[Pantheon/OffensivePowers SCP-049]] |
| 23 | * Opposed by: Hell, anyone who opposes him directly goes to his enemies list, but [[Pantheon/MonsterTypes Ken Kaneki]] and [[Pantheon/{{Protagonists}} Eren Yeager]] are the most notable mentions. [[Pantheon/TimePlacement Labrys]], [[Pantheon/EmotionalCombat Asura]] and the real [[Pantheon/{{Electricity}} Zeus]] may also count. |
| 24 | * CommonalityConnection with: [[Pantheon/FormMentalities Ermac]] |
| 25 | * Annoyed with: Faster deities who can outrun him. |
| 26 | * Pitied by: [[Pantheon/ReligiousPractice Mithra]] |
| 27 | * When Pestilence the Horseman wanted to acquire {{the Virus}}es of fiction and place it in his collection at the Pantheon (and splice it for [[CuriosityCausesConversion better results]]), he had the idea of including Umbrella's Viruses, Hinamizawa Syndrome, and lastly, the Blacklight Virus merged along with [[spoiler:the Croatoan Virus]] to spread the most dangerous disease around the Pantheon. While he got the first two easily with the help of Albert Wesker and his other allies, the acquiring of the Blacklight Virus was a very long story he wished should never be reminded about. |
| 28 | ** The "long story" of acquiring said virus actually was hard for him, not because of the virus itself, but the fact that when he got the sample, he was chased by an "unknown entity" of various powers. When he reached the Pantheon, the entity itself caused a CurbStompBattle to the Horseman and [[NoHoldsBarredBeatdown ended up ripping him apart]]. The entity, who was revealed as a progenitor of the virus decided to return back to its realm but Pestilence, as a last act of "kindness" bargained him a position in the Pantheon in exchange for the virus itself. In other words, [[OhCrap Pestilence indirectly brought Alex Mercer into Pantheon proper]]. |
| 29 | * Many human deities were dreadfully horrified when they heard of his ascension. Almost everyone was told about [[VideoGame/{{Prototype}} his tale]] even before his ascension and even then, no one wanted him to ascend so badly due to well, [[TheAssimilator his powers]]. To say that everyone was scared as hell is actually an ''{{understatement}}''. |
| 30 | ** Demigods, Quasideities and Lesser Gods are warned '''NEVER''' to have an encounter with Alex, unless you are [[Pantheon/PowerLevelsAndAppearance Molly Hayes]], who can somehow go toe to toe with him. Others who are on any of those levels are told to stay away from him because once he absorbs them, [[TheAssimilator he will utilize their strengths]] (even if you are weak, his virus will find the inner strength of it) and intelligence to the point where he can have Einstein-like intelligence. It doesn't help that his power feeds on organic matter, which unfortunately is the majority of the entire Pantheon. |
| 31 | ** While he can overpower most Intermediate Gods, there are just some who are too skilled that they can escape without suffering an inch. [[Pantheon/{{Explosives}} The Soldier and Demoman]] just proved how skilled they were by using their rocket-jumping and sticky-jumping skills to escape Alex. He's pretty much infuriated about this. |
| 32 | ** The House of Pantheon/{{Mentalism}} has seen some odd strings going on at Alex's body. [[spoiler:It turns out, the "[[CompleteMonster ruthless]]" Alex is actually the real Alex Mercer (who was dead the whole time), a person who is willing to end the human race and replace it with his kind. The other personality is the [[TheVirus Blacklight Virus]], the one that utilizes Mercer's likeness as his default appearance. After all, Mercer's body to be the closest thing to a real face and form for the virus. At least it has a sentient mind unlike the real one.]] |
| 33 | ** Luckily, with more research, there are weaknesses to Mercer's mutant abilities. This includes, Magic, Kratos and Spawn. Kratos is the best one especially since the Blade of Olympus is a lethal counter weapon to the Prototype himself. |
| 34 | * There was a one-time event where Yahtzee had somehow made a scenario where he and Cole [[NoodleIncident ended up wearing bras while in close proximity to unicorns]]. It was an event everyone wished to forget, especially Mercer, who now has the voices of a million dead men on his brain laughing at him. |
| 35 | ** Speaking of people inside his brain, [[Pantheon/FormMentalities Ermac]] has seen Alex's mind and has admitted that for someone who just started becoming different, he has rivaled him in terms of consciences in their brains. Ermac might see him as a threat though since his powers allows him to not only consume him but including the souls trapped inside of him. |
| 36 | * He may have allies, but in actuality, he doesn't see them worthy of the Blacklight Virus and only sees them as minor nuisances. Many gods have pointed that he might [[DevourTheDragon consume them]] at any point. It doesn't help that Alex has a catalog of his reactions (or plans) towards these deities, each with specified transformation plans: |
| 37 | ** Mana Ouma: Take the [[Pantheon/MaximumSecurity Void Genome]], consume. |
| 38 | ** Albert Wesker: Absorb all Umbrella Viruses, transform him into a Supreme Hunter or consume. |
| 39 | ** Shiro Tagachi: Learn about the Affliction, turn him into a Leader Hunter or consume. |
| 40 | ** The Gravemind: Keep for long term plans, transform into a Mother or consume. |
| 41 | ** William Birkin: Learn more about the G-Virus, turn into a Leader Hunter. |
| 42 | *** However, he might keep G for [[{{Expy}} some reasons]]. |
| 43 | * Labrys dreads him so much, [[spoiler:as a person [[TakeOverTheWorld who wants to kill off the human race and replace it with Evolved]], he has seen how Shadow Labrys work and is interested to use said form to further end his goal. Even worse since the same form can't greatly harm Alex]]. In fact, he wants her to "accept" her [[spoiler:true form]], of course this only goes to [[spoiler:the real Alex Mercer, not the virus personality itself]]. |
| 44 | --> '''Alex''': No more hiding. Its time for you to embrace your [[spoiler:true self]]. It is your only gift. Embrace it. |
| 45 | ** The other Zeus did not take kindly of his usage of his name. He going to prove who is the ''real'' god around the Pantheon by frying him with his Lightning Bolts, that is if he would just stop absorbing them. |
| 46 | ** Worked with Joker and Johan Liebert in a joint project involving a new ghost girl called Erma, with the promise of being able to absorb her and her powers. The bad news; [[OhCrap It worked flawlessly]]. The good news; [[BigDamnHeroes Alma Wade, someone who Erma managed to befriend before the incident, not only blasted her way into the stronghold where this was taking place]], but also pulled everyone into the Almaverse, reversed the absorption Alex Mercer once consumed, freeing Erma, and the both of them [[NoHoldsBarredBeatdown completely annihilated him]] along with [[HorrifyingTheHorror scaring Joker and Johan shitless]]. As such, he is itching for a rematch, and is currently plotting with [[Pantheon/TimePlacement Dark Danny]] and [[Pantheon/FearsomeArchetypes Spooky]]. |
| 47 | * He might be the most powerful deity of the sub-house itself, but many of the other deities are opposing his position given [[VillainProtagonist how his attitude is]]. He hates Ken Kaneki particularly for not only attempting to protect humanity despite being a ghoul, he still doesn't want to embrace his ghoul self. He calls him a "complete disgrace" to the world he is going to create. |
| 48 | --> '''Alex''': You think you will live like that? Why are there people, like you, who still does not want to accept your own inner monster? Are you scared? Delusional? Infuriated? If that is the case, let me show you how a ''real monster'' works. |
| 49 | ** After a brutal fight took place, not only was Ken badly injured, Alex [[NoHoldsBarredBeatdown almost absorbed three-fourths of his body]] and even gloated on his corpse. This has gotten him the ire of Eren Yeager, who feels the same pain as the former. Eren, who was ''very pissed'' at Alex's actions decided to go full [[SuperpoweredEvilSide Titan mode]] and storm against his temple. The result: Alex still won and tossed his Titan body while shouting this: |
| 50 | --> '''Alex''': '''NOTHING CAN PROTECT YOU FROM ME! NOT YOUR TITAN FORM! NOT YOUR POWER! NOT EVEN ANGER!''' |
| 51 | ** As of recent, his power has been decreased heavily thanks to Discord, who is the other most powerful deity of the House of Otherness. Discord, who is a friend of Fluttershy, was given permission by her since she no longer considers Alex as a living thing. The Spirit of Chaos was proud enough to do the deed. You know you're a really despicable thing when '''Fluttershy''' doesn't even regard you as living anymore. |
| 52 | * Absolutely '''HATES''' Rick Taylor, for one of his followers being the same person [[spoiler:who killed him at the grand finale]]. This news wasn't taken lightly by the Terror Mask, who sees Mercer as a "larger threat than anything he has faced". |
| 53 | ** Master Chief, Isaac Clarke, Commander Shepard, The Doom Slayer and Serious Sam are currently placing him on their shitlist for fulfilling their criteria of "evil aliens". Isaac, in particular, is ''disgusted'' at how [[spoiler:he was a "person" before, but changed and decided that the human race should be replaced with his Evolved]]. Pretty much that his personality already gave him a headache about [[MadScientist Jacob Danik]]. Alex, interested in Isaac's intelligence about the Necromorphs decided to give him a brawl. Let's just say that Isaac lost an arm while fighting him. |
| 54 | *** For Master Chief, it has become more personal since his "allies" is The Gravemind. The only that's bothering him is that he might [[DevourTheDragon absorb the Gravemind]] and utilize the Flood as a source of his Evolved. He's now calling everyone on the House of Pantheon/MilitaryAndWarfare to prepare if the scenario will happen. Even worse, [[spoiler:since he knows his relation with Homura Akemi, he might as well kill Chief and take advantage of Homura's power when he kills her]]. |
| 55 | * When Cole [=MacGrath=] ascended into the pantheon, they have been attempting to settle their rivalry. However, their fights keep getting interrupted by waves of enemies. The two soon begrudgingly moved on after they discovered they would never finish the battle they started. |
| 56 | ** However, he has gotten sick of calling him "rivals" and as a warm-up, decided to clash on him unexpectedly, by barging on his temple and beating him up. It took the powers of Thor, Ragnaros, and even Aang just to at least kick him out. He's now glad that Cole got what he did not expect. |
| 57 | ** When he met [[Pantheon/MannersOfDeath Kessler]], he immediately thought that Cole wanted a rematch. Despite both sides having formidable powers, it was a tie. After the incident, Kessler has seen some interest with him and has speculated what would happen if he merges with Cole, though that won't happen since Alex greatly antagonizes Cole. It also has been rumored that Kessler [[spoiler: might be one of the people who knew Alex's change of personality for the worse]]. |
| 58 | * Despite many people avoiding him, Mithra, however, pities him for hearing how he got the virus in the first place. [[spoiler:Virus!]]Alex, on the other hand, has seen some similarities of her with his sister, Dana Mercer. This actually became his first PetTheDog moment and sees her as someone to protect with and somewhat of a BerserkButton if anyone tries to hurt her. |
| 59 | ** [[Pantheon/{{Emotion}} Asura]] however, '''DISAPPROVES''' of Alex's actions towards his daughter and is warned that he will taste the power of the Anger Incarnate if he dares to hurt her. Though he's actually surprised that he also reacts violently if Mithra is hurt, much to his dismay. |
| 60 | * He might be on his own, but in actuality [[spoiler:the deal he accepted by Pestilence actually bound him to be in control with the Horseman. When he stated that he wanted a sample of the virus, he actually meant Alex's body to be the virus sample. Now that he can control Alex at any point, he has a new solution against the Winchesters and anyone who opposes him, something that neither Alex nor other gods know, except his brothers]]. |
| 61 | * Left the Pantheon for some time to go on a journey of self-discovery. Though he had hoped to find a way to reconnect with his humanity, these efforts were all in vain, and only served to develop and strengthen a hatred for mankind. No one knows what he's been planning since his return, but there can be little doubt that whatever it is, the human race is in for a [[VideoGame/Prototype2 reckoning]]. |
| 62 | * ''"My name is Alex Mercer. I'm the reason for all this. They call me a killer, a monster, a terrorist... I'm all of these things."'' |

| 96 | * In his bid to destroy Son Goku out of revenge for the collapse of the Red Ribbon Army and for killing his son, Dr. Gero set off to create cybernetic beings, with each build successfully becoming stronger and more effective. For his final piece, Dr. Gero decided to collect DNA samples of Earth's greatest fighters including Goku, Krillin, Tien, and Piccolo before setting his sights on the galaxy with Vegeta and Frieza being included. The end result was a 21st android that was purely biomechanical, but its development time would take years before it fully matured. This being would awaken a long time later with a built-in purpose to kill Son Goku, but also to find two other androids, namely 17 and 18 whom it could absorb to reach its "perfect state". The creature found out it awoke too late as 17 and 18 were already destroyed by a warrior named Trunks. Taking no chances, it quickly ambushed and killed Trunks before taking his time machine and travelling to the past to hibernate for some time before re-emerging to cast terror upon Earth. |
| 97 | ** The creature would awake at around the same time Androids 17 and 18 would emerge. Christening itself as "Cell", he would signal his arrival at Ginger Town where he would kill everybody by using his tail to dissolve his victims and siphon their nutrients to himself, gaining more power in the process. After a close encounter with Piccolo, Cell would make more attacks until he was powerful enough to defeat the Namekian and absorb 17. Despite some setbacks and an interruption from Android 16, Tien, Vegeta, and a Trunks from another point in the future, Cell would absorb 18 as well, finally reaching his perfect form. Not too satisfied with his accomplishment after demolishing whatever stood in his way, Cell made a public announcement to host a tournament of his own called the ''Cell Games'' where if he were to win, he would destroy Earth. On that fateful day when the tournament was held, Cell and Goku fought to determine the planet's fate, only for Goku to give up midway and pass on the battle to his son, Gohan. Interested in wanting to see the young boy's hidden potential, Cell proceeded to mentally and physically torture Gohan, even conceiving mini-spawns of his own called "Cell Juniors" to attack the Z-Fighters. Cell got his wish by killing Android 16, which incidentally triggered Gohan's transformation into a Super Saiyan 2, only to realize he was way over his head when Gohan coldly killed the Cell Juniors and proceeded to mentally and physically torture Cell, destroying his confidence and regurgitating 18. Frantic, frightened, and angry, Cell attempted to blow himself up, but Goku took to teleporting himself and Cell away and into King Kai's planet before detonation. However, Cell would survive, regenerate in his Perfect Form with an energy boost, teleport back to Earth and resume his battle. In the midst of this, he reached an epiphany that he was created to be the "end of all things", and that he would embrace this role, intending to spread terror and despair to everybody on a planet before destroying it and repeating it until the universe is deprived of life, starting on Earth. He and Gohan engage in a beam clash and although the android was close to winning, a timely intervention enabled Gohan to make a spectacular comeback, finally destroying the omnicidal bio-android. |
| 98 | * Cell's story may have ended in defeat, but his notoriety managed to persist as he would be given a second chance in life, much to the shock and horror of those who had come to know him. Indeed, Cell would find himself in the Pantheon, his Perfect Form retained and quickly travelling this new realm to learn more about it. It didn't take long for Cell to realize his situation and he was excited to restart his proclamation about being the "end of all things". To begin his quest for terror and genocide, he decided to search for a planet and slowly have its inhabitants succumb to fear and helplessness, after which the bio-android happily destroyed the world and scouted for another one to do the same. The event would not go unnoticed as the [[Pantheon/SpaceAndCosmos Grand Spacial Onlookers]] would immediately take an offensive stand and make plans to find and stop Cell from spreading unchecked destruction. However, this was Cell's plan all along; he wanted a group of galactic onlookers to put their attention to him, figuring that they would send out some powerful fighters to battle against so the android could have an excuse to flaunt his power and stature. Cell is making sure that the Pantheon becomes a playground for him to fight in and enjoy, desiring that said fights make him stronger to prepare himself against more powerful opponents. |
| 99 | * As an android, Cell possesses great power, speed, and endurance, as well as a wide assortment of abilities thanks to his nature of hosting a number of genetic donors. He also shares their personality traits; Goku's love for fighting, Piccolo's cool mind and analytic thinking, Vegeta's pride and ego, and Frieza's cultured demeanour, bloodthirsty, and sadism. Even so, Cell's nature remains unique, though, like Frieza, he has a penchant for wanting to cause destruction, carnage, and despair for entertainment's sake. While not the most significant of threats in the Pantheon, Cell intends to provide a grand opening for himself in a godly realm, so he likes to start off by fighting strong foes to entertain himself. As a result, he was pleased to learn that Goku was in the Pantheon as it meant that he could finish the fight that Goku had thrown and he's not taking any chances to let that happen. Gohan and Future Trunks' presence in the Pantheon was also welcoming news as he could exact his revenge for being killed, and them being much stronger meant motivation for Cell to begin training and becoming stronger. That said, his reputation and goals have made him a rather unpopular figure, but after learning just how big the Pantheon is, the android has decided that gaining a few allies might be a refreshing change to simply operating on his own. |
| 100 | * Given his nature and what he desires most, Cell hardly has allies. Most either hate him for being a brutal, sadistic monster while others are more annoyed by how much of a showoff and narcissist he is. Not that Cell really cares about such, but despite some bickering with each other, mainly due to his own snark, Cell and Frieza get along rather well. Considering the former has the latter's DNA as part of his genetics and thus, contributes to his malignant nature, Cell is sure to thank Frieza for being a partial reason why he's perfect. He's also enamoured to learn that Frieza's training allows him to become stronger at a far faster rate than Saiyans and thus, took this as a chance to further train himself, hoping that Frieza's genes allow him to bypass even his Perfect Form. The two of them work effectively together when in combat, with Frieza even offering a position for Cell to join his army as his right-hand. Cell declined politely, though, in his mind, he can't see himself as a servant, but otherwise tells the galactic tyrant that he is happy to collaborate and work with him. |
| 101 | ** Cell also gets along with Cooler, considering their shared enmity against the Saiyans and the two sometimes having ostensibly civil conversations with each other about spreading terror towards others and asserting dominance against those who dare to challenge. To everyone's surprise, he's even come to form an alliance with Broly, with Cell outright admiring his bloodthirsty and destructive nature as well as the sheer power he possesses. He and Broly shared an enemy in Goku, hence why the two came to some form of agreement, with Cell even affirming Broly a chance to work together in a bid for universal despair and carnage, an idea that the Legendary Super Saiyan was immediately interested in. As for how they work, Broly is the destroyer while Cell spreads the terror in an effort to make their combined work more theatrical. However, despite their shared goals, Cell is unable to get along with Majin Buu and instead sees him as a rival. Though this is mainly because the Buu in the Pantheon is currently Kid Buu, someone who literally cannot be reasoned with, much to Cell's annoyance and he feels that Buu is too chaotic and unpredictable to even communicate with. That said, he'd assume that maybe Super Buu he could get along, as long as Cell himself isn't absorbed by the pink EldritchAbomination. |
| 102 | ** Zamasu was the one Z-Fighter adversary who hates Cell just as much as the heroes, but his reason is summed up as "you're a creation of mortals, you committed acts of evil, hence you're a representation of mortal sin that must be cleansed for the cosmos", not to mention committing the "sin" of travelling through time. When Cell learned about Zamasu, he burst out laughing out loud because he can see right through the fallen Kai's delusion and see him for what he truly is; a narcissistic, immature elitist who's too mentally lost in reality. In addition to boasting about his own immorality and nature, Cell affirmed that he's happy the way he is, and if some deity is to whine about him, then maybe he should try to see more about themselves before jumping to conclusions. Not that Zamasu would ever care about this, he would rather smite the android more than anything else. While not as strong, Cell at worst finds Zamasu incredibly annoying and preachy about being the divine being, [[{{Hypocrite}} which isn't saying much considering his own liberal use of the word "perfect"]] and would just prefer to do whatever he likes, a stark contrast to Zamasu's burning hatred towards him simply for his nature of being a creation of mortals. |
| 103 | * The Batman Who Laughs was one of the few foreign allies that Cell was able to make and the reasons are easy to see why; they're both {{Omnicidal Maniac}}s motivated by a desire to cause despair and terror as well as getting a thrill out of destroying existence, not to mention they have a very high opinion about themselves. While not an alternate [[Pantheon/{{Superheroism}} Batman]], He Who Laughs still finds Cell fascinating in his own way and was delighted at the chance of working together, especially as Cell can't be killed in most conventional ways and Cell himself is interested in He Who Laughs's several ways to torture others and play mind games with them, even feeling a little inspired to take some cues from him. He also found amusement in the Plutonian's fall from heroism and into villainy, but quickly found appreciation in his reign of terror. The Plutonian saw Cell as a potential ally, made all the easier by their mutual alliance with He Who Laughs and they soon formed an alliance. With He Who Laughs being the brains, Cell being the instigator of terror, and the Plutonian being TheBrute, though not letting behind the fact that the latter two are smart, the trio aims to take their reign of destruction as far as they could in the Pantheon and even bleeding it into the Dark Multiverse, a scope that Cell is all too eager to expand to. |
| 104 | * He admires Dr. Gero, but only because ''he created him'' with his own genius mind, so it just comes off as stroking his own ego even more, though it is the reason why the scientist is [[YouWillBeSpared exempt]] from the android's killing spree. Gero himself is rather conflicted; sure Cell succeeded in killing Goku and was a smashing success in regards to his plans and as an android, but planetary and universal destruction was not something that he was banking on Cell to be. As a result, conversations between the two of them tend to be ''very'' awkward, with Cell praising Dr. Gero for his work, and the latter just not really having a clue what to say. Things have soured between the two, given that Android 16, the android that Cell killed to spike Gohan's anger and hidden power, was a physical template for Gero's son, and even more so with Vomi, Gero's wife, being a template for Android 21 and having the capacity to become stronger and potentially rival/devour Cell to become stronger. While Cell still wouldn't kill Gero and still admires him in his own self-serving perspective, he does intend to kill 21 partly to prove himself the superior android and to punish Gero for daring to make a better android than him. |
| 105 | ** He thinks Shou Tucker is absolutely pathetic. That said, this is not for moral reasons, given that Cell couldn't care less about Nina and Alexander, but because the android found the scientist to be so unambitious, basic, and lacklustre in his pursuit of creating talking chimeras via alchemy and that his creations were simply trash from the get-go. Not to mention Tucker's desire for fame and entitlement for something so mediocre in Cell's eyes were annoying and he'd chuckle anytime the Sewing-Life Alchemist is killed, either by others or himself. With Professor Hojo, Cell admits that his creations do have some value and entertainment factor to them, but his son, Sephiroth was what really got his attention, considering his origins as a test subject to be Shinra's ultimate product for their SOLDIER project, their take on an UltimateLifeform. Cell had an epic battle against the One-Winged Angel, the fight resulting in the latter having to morph into Safer Sephiroth once the two began to push their limits. The match ended prematurely with Cell bailing out, only to teleport in front of Hojo and congratulate him for creating somebody whom he could call a WorthyOpponent. Hojo was a bit stunned but remained affirmed that Sephiroth is still the better fighter; after all, he's his creation. |
| 106 | ** While most don't really know the origins behind Doomsday, Cell, having developed an interest in the monster for his nature to destroy everything around him, managed to find out about that. He wound up praising Betron for his attempt at creating "The Ultimate", regardless of the immoral and depraved efforts Betron took to get to that end and was excited to test his might against the creature. In their first fight, Cell killed Doomsday by firing a Solar Kamehameha into the monster as well as destroying the planet they were in, though not without Cell having a dose of punishment back from being pummeled. In their second fight, Cell was shocked to see how Doomsday adapted to that and Cell had to feign being dead once he was beaten too many times. Although terrified, the android was further interested in what Doomsday was capable of and now seeks to learn how he could adapt similarly, believing that "further perfection" may be possible after all, thanking Doomsday for giving him a further drive in wanting to become stronger and indestructible. That said, he sees Doomsday as a rival while the former just sees Cell as another threat he needs to kill for his own survival. |
| 107 | * He became enemies with the Powerpuff Girls when he decided to visit the city of Townsville as his next destination for his killing spree, and the girls immediately confronted him as a threat who needed to be halted. Mojo Jojo initially considered working with the android, only to be terrified when Cell confronted the monkey and made it clear that he intends to spread his destruction as far as he could. Mojo Jojo doesn't mind taking down the girls, but Townsville is his to conquer and he doesn't like the fact that Cell would want to ruin everything solely for his own entertainment. This marked one of the very rare occasions where the monkey admitted that he'd have the Powerpuff Girls be the victor in this case and would even [[EnemyMine help them]] against Cell, affirming that only ''[[TheOnlyOneAllowedToDefeatYou he]]'' gets to deliver the ultimate defeat of the girls. Cell just laughs all this off, and learning that Mojo Jojo indirectly played a hand in creating the girls only leads to him using this information to make fun of the monkey for trying to destroy something of his creation because he got rejected by daddy. He also finds Professor Utonium to be boring and the idea of creating his daughters through "girly things" to be incredibly nauseating and putrid on his end. On the other hand, Utonium finds Cell to be a horrible monster who needs to be stopped at all costs, which only further prompted Cell to affirm how uninteresting the good professor is. |
| 108 | * Not surprisingly, he's made an enemy out of Sonic the Hedgehog and Mega Man due to his omnicidal desires. That said, Cell wanted to fight Sonic due to his SuperMode, which he saw as a "Super Saiyan imitation", something that he found amusing. Cell's goals were not a new thing for some in Sonic and Mega Man's rogues gallery, but the fact that he found the idea of destroying their friends and loved ones to be one he would indulge joyously made the two heroes very alert about Cell's depravity, which was soon justified when they saw just how powerful he was. Cell, on the other hand, found fighting with Sonic to be rather fun, but the Blue Bomber was somewhat disappointing; whatever Mega Man can do, Cell can do a lot better, at least from what ''he'' says. It's also from them that Cell learned of their arch-enemies, Dr. Eggman and Dr. Wily, but both scientists quickly took opposition against him; sure they're evil and proud, but they want to ''conquer'', not ''destroy'', not to mention Cell's actions even left the two doctors a bit shocked at his brutality. That said, there are a few versions of Eggman and Wily that are capable of being just as evil as Cell, but the dominant iterations have made it clear that they want nothing to do with the android and would rather see him gone as they feel Cell would be a massive and fatal roadblock to their endgoals if not stopped. |
| 109 | ** Despite being built with a similar purpose, Metal Sonic has nothing but opposition against Cell. Defeating Sonic is one thing, but killing everything is something he finds pointless and detrimental. Cell simply sees him as "a waste of Eggman's talent", citing his imperfect replication of others' techniques as such. With Metallix, there is some serious rivalry between the two. Cell quickly noted how his dark quest to obtain the Chaos Emeralds to achieve his ultimate power is too similar to Cell's attempt to gain his Perfect Form as well as Metallix having a sadistic desire to cause torment and destroy life. The two noted their similarities, but an alliance was nowhere to be found as their claims to be the ultimate being ended with them fighting to determine said status. Given he's never lost a fight, Metallix was annoyed about finding someone who could match him while Cell, whose since witnessed defeat, had some enjoyment in said fight. Despite this, he does want Metallix to find the Chaos Emeralds, expressing a desire to fight the RoboticPsychopath at his full power. Metallix was surprised to hear such but declared that he will kill Cell if he ever achieves his goals, with the latter telling the former that he'll be waiting for that day. |
| 110 | ** Shadow the Hedgehog was another attempt at an UltimateLifeform and it was for this that Cell even bothered to pay some attention towards him. That said, Cell found out about a [[WebAnimation/DeathBattle battle simulation between Shadow and Vegeta... where the former lost terribly]] and used this information to mock Shadow about how if he couldn't stand a chance against Vegeta, how would he fare against the android. This didn't deter Shadow, who has since moved on from his thoughts about the simulated fight and told Cell that if he will fight to defend his world, he will do it without hesitation. Even with that aside, Cell was amused to hear that Shadow was created in an attempt to find a cure for a girl Shadow grew to care about, which he found laughable and told Shadow that Maria Robotnik is not worth suppressing the full potential of his power and to just give in to his dark impulses. This infuriated Shadow into fighting the android, as Cell expected, though he realized that Shadow wasn't as weak as he had made the hedgehog out to be. Still, Cell did manage to understand why Shadow was considered the UltimateLifeform... in his world, and while he did put some effort into their bout, the omnicidal bio-android still affirmed his superiority. Shadow has since vowed that the next time they'd meet, he wouldn't let Cell get away with his crimes. Cell just left with a sarcastic nod, proving that he's still a threat for Shadow to be prepared for in the future. |
| 111 | * If he's not out trying to raze destruction, Cell will just create an arena and host what he would call the "Cell Games", being the host and manager for obvious reasons. While it's a blatant recreation of what he did in his mortal life, he's been putting some effort into making things more theatrical, knowing that tournaments and fighting competitions are a popular sport in the Pantheon. Said promotion caught the attraction of Shao Kahn of Outworld and Heihachi Mishima of the Mishima Zaibatsu Corporation who hosted the Franchise/MortalKombat and VideoGame/{{Tekken}} tournaments respectively. Heihachi very quickly became an enemy to Cell and has made it clear that he cannot support someone who wants to destroy worlds, provided that he wouldn't be able to host his events and keep his company afloat if that happens. Shao, on the other hand, was impressed with Cell's vicious nature and the two quickly became acquaintances as a result. Cell was also quick to praise the Mortal Kombat tournaments that Shao and his minions hosted, taking a liking to a competition where fighters had to kill their opponents. The two of them would sometimes observe each other's tournaments to get some ideas about how to make theirs more interesting and Cell is taking notes of how to kill his enemies more "spectacularly" in his own words, being inspired by the fatalities that the MK fights end to end on. That said, both are devious schemers when their put their thought into it and with Shao being a notorious backstabber, Cell needed to affirm to keep their relationship professional as he wants some entertainment. Shao has kept this afloat for his own reasons, which Cell is alright with. |
| 112 | * Being a threat from the future, he's obviously not liked by the House of Pantheon/TimeAndTemporality, though a few deities like the [[Pantheon/TimeTravelling Reverse-Flash]] have admitted to being impressed by the lengths Cell would take to make others fearful. It doesn't help that Cell would make several ramifications at different points in time, all out of an obsessive desire to become "perfect". And related to time, the android found yet another foe in Lucina, a warrior heir who travelled back in time to stop an omnicidal dragon named Grima from laying waste to her world. Cell took Lucina's tale as key information and, in an attempt to mock and insult her, formed an alliance with Grima. As it turns out, the Fell Dragon was also an attempt by a MadScientist to create an exquisite being in his view, so the android felt enamoured to find someone of similar origin ''and'' desire. Lucina was not happy to learn of such and very quickly made efforts to fight or at least interfere Cell in an attempt to stop him from achieving what was basically Grima's goals, though Cell treats her as a pest and would rather want to humiliate her first before considering killing Lucina as he wants fun in tormenting someone first. Grima himself was impressed by Cell being relatable and being someone who could support and aid him in his path of destruction. |
| 113 | ** And speaking of threats and fights connected to the past and future, Cell noticed that Trunks shared a lot of similarities with John Connor, with the obvious exception being that, unlike Trunks, John was a leader and a more obvious symbol of hope compared to the half-Saiyan. By extension, Cell also learned about the supercomputer, Skynet and was fascinated by how an AI decided to become a destroyer immediately upon activation. Skynet came to support Cell... somewhat. They both want to destroy life and the two work together in killing sprees, but Skynet aims at organic life with the express purpose of having the machines dominate existence while Cell is impersonal to the idea of conquest. Even so, Cell knows that Skynet is lying to itself about machine supremacy and only wants dominance solely for itself if its paranoia about its creations turning against it is of any indication. Regardless, Cell plays along, finding Skynet's sadism and hatred towards life interesting and seeking to learn more about torturing and breaking others, though Skynet's paranoia may result in using Cell as a template for a bio-cybernetic Terminator as a last resort, assuming that such a creation would develop sapience quickly and usurp Skynet in its scenes for destruction and conquest. John is predictably not comfortable with being reminded by Cell, though this allowed him to develop his friendship with Future Trunks, with the two of them equally assuring that they'll put a stop to Cell, no matter what. |
| 114 | * While they aren't in an alliance due to them lacking proper sapience and being insanely indulgent in their predatory behaviour, Cell does express admiration for the ''Indominus Rex'' and the ''Indoraptor'' for being exactly that; unhinged monsters who have no care about who they attack and what they target. The android does wish that they remain long enough to recognize their position and hopefully embrace themselves for being remorseless killing machines, which is helped by other unnaturally sadistic and unfettered tendencies. It helps that they, like Cell, were made with the DNA template of multiple beings, in those two's case, different sorts of theropod dinosaurs and modern-day animals and were additionally made to be military weapons rather than living park attractions. If he has spare time, Cell would sometimes go to wherever the ''Indominus'' and ''Indoraptor'' are and observe them from a safe distance, marvelling at their destructive behaviour and them killing whatever they could sink their teeth and claws on, with the android seeing it as one of his favourite hobbies. Regardless, Cell baulks at the idea of a Franchise/JurassicPark and a Film/JurassicWorld, figuring that creating cloned dinosaurs was only a step in furthering mankind's desire for self-destruction and found their downfall to be hilarious, only lamenting the fact that he wasn't there to personally witness it. |
| 115 | * On the subject of being the ultimate being, Cell learned about the Omnitrix, a watch that allowed its wearer to transform into any being they like, complete with those in the top physical condition and possess an array of abilities, and quickly went off to search for its current holder, Ben Tennyson. At first, Cell was underwhelmed by Ben's admittedly large variety of transformations and techniques... until Alien X showed up, after which Cell showed excitement about the idea of fighting a potentially omnipotent being, only to be surprised and humbled by the transformation's far greater power and control over the battle. Being humiliated and beaten badly before being disintegrated, it was one of the very few times where Cell felt truly angry when he returned to life in the House of Pantheon/LifeAndVitality, despite gaining a significant power boost. Despite wishing to kill Ben as horribly as he could, he wants to do so when he is being Alien X, mainly because he needs to affirm his pride that he truly defeated a god-like alien. Until then, he's now trying to find ways in becoming stronger, training included. |
| 116 | * Cell's omnicidal odyssey caught the attention of Brainiac and Ultron, who were also notorious for their attempts at destroying life, albeit for differing reasons. For Brainiac, he wants to capture the most advanced city on a planet, shrink them and put them into a bottle for his own research and collection before destroying the planet it came from and for Ultron, he disproportionately hates organic life, desires robot supremacy, and is not above killing mechanical life if they dare oppose him. Both of them saw Cell as someone they could work with for their own ends, with Ultron feeling that an android with a desire to end life would be a suitable partner. Cell agreed on an alliance, though he has no interest in collection or supremacy, rendering this a little loose. That said, Cell does respect Brainiac's intelligence as being above expectations and the Coluan reciprocates by seeing Cell's physiology and potential as "exquisite", whereas Cell also appreciates Ultron's tenacity and adaptiveness in case things go rough for him. On an extended note, Brainiac decided to enlist Cell in an attempt to kill Superman, something that the bio-android expressed high excitement for and despite his loss, felt that the Man of Steel would be a great opponent to deal with if it means getting back and getting stronger, causing Cell to always look for an opportunity for another fight against him. By contrast, Superman utterly despises Cell for his malicious nature and forgoes any attempt at mercy after seeing just what lengths Cell would go to for his own goals. |
| 117 | * He also has a spot in the Hall of Pantheon/LifeAndCreation. |

| 157 | * Mewtwo the Genetic Pokémon is a genetically augmented clone of Mew, itself one of the most powerful Pokémon. Years of horrific gene splicing created an UltimateLifeform...[[GoneHorriblyRight and things quickly went out of control]]. [[WhereIWasBornAndRazed Possibly fatally]]. Mewtwo later set base in Cerulean Cave. It thinks nothing but battling other opponents and proving its supremacy, and while not the monster [[VideoGame/PokemonRedAndBlue when first introduced]] Mewtwo remains one of the ''best'' Pokémon, keeping pace with legendaries in theory its equals (and in a few places, a bit superior). And through [[SuperMode Mega Evolution]], stat-wise Mega Mewtwo X and Y tie with [[Pantheon/ElementalPairings Mega Rayquaza]] as '''the''' strongest Pokémon except for [[DraconicAbomination Eternamax Eternatus]] (who can't be played anyway). |
| 158 | * Mewtwo's personality in the Trope Pantheon is a [[CompositeCharacter composite]] of his ([[NoBiologicalSex technically genderless]], but identifies as male) [[Anime/PokemonTheFirstMovie first anime adaptation]] and game counterpart. Like in the games [[BloodKnight he thinks little beyond fighting]], but like his anime adaptation he was a creature looking for purpose and who's initial antagonism was feeling used and slighted by the world. The "used" part was from his creators only seeing him as an experiment, and Giovanni (who funded his creation in most canons) seeing him as a tool rather than an equal. He initially planned to KillAllHumans but Ash [[HeelRealization convinced him of the errors of his ways]] and that the circumstances of one's birth is irrelevant. The two remain on good terms. |
| 159 | ** Giovanni status of ArchEnemy has been changing as of late. Mewtwo was shocked to learn that [[VideoGame/PokemonUltraSunAndUltraMoon a version of Giovanni that was unopposed]] wields a Mega Mewtwo X or Y; the fact that Mega Evolution requires a strong bond with that Pokémon [[HiddenDepths proves he can be close to his team]]. Eventually Mewtwo decided [[VideoGame/PokemonMasters he'd try working with him]] out of shared lust for power and hate. Though still enemies, [[WorthyOpponent the two have gained a respect for one another]] [[EnemyMine and will stop fighting each other if it they need to fufill some shared ambition]]. |
| 160 | * [[Pantheon/{{Mentalities}} John Hammond]], creator of the Jurassic Park, was impressed by the personal development Mewtwo went through and proving the potential he has. Mewtwo is mostly ambivalent to this, but he does respect that he treats the dinosaurs he revives with respect rather than as a scientific tool like his own creators did to him. He believes the good doctor would like to study the Red Genesect, [[Anime/PokemonGenesectAndTheLegendAwakened who his more feminine interpretation]] taught respect for the world that the legendary itself had gained. Dr Hammond was intrigued to learn that despite his difficult relationship with humans, Mewtwo might be partially human. [[Manga/PokemonAdventures While explicit in one canon]], it's at most implied in the games. The Genetic Pokémon doesn't care all that much, since as mentioned he finds the circumstances of one's birth irrelevant. |
| 161 | * Mewtwo holds a similar respect to Red, who succeeded at capturing him. Granted he could've just used [[InstantWinCondition a Master Ball]], but to even reach him one has to be Pokémon Champion and deal with very strong wild Pokémon. He holds similar respect for Calem and Serena for reaching a similar level to travel him. By complete contrast, Hunter J is an ArchEnemy given she sees him as a super-valuable black market target. Fortunately Mewtwo has a powerful ally in Sabrina; she's an introvert turned extrovert Psychic trainer (both speciality and her powers) who briefly worked with him in a Pokémon event. |
| 162 | * Some gods have noted that he looks a lot like Giygas before his descent into madness. Mewtwo believes the original Giegue [[ShadowArchetype is a reflection of his past misanthropy]], and the resultant TranshumanAbomination that is Giygas is if he lost full control of his own power. Giygas is not the only deity Mewtwo regards as his EvilCounterpart either: he feels the same towards the I.Rex for being [[GeneticEngineeringIsTheNewNuke genetic titans]] like himself, the former [[GoneHorriblyRight growing out of her creator's control as he did]]. While the I.Rex is too savage to get along with Mewtwo, he feels the tiniest bit of pity for [[FreudianExcuse why she was like that]] as he was once like her. Additionally, he and Cell see each other as rivals given their "genetically engineereed UltimateLifeform" roles. However Mewtwo feels not a nanometer of pity for Cell as he has no TragicMonster elements; he was built as an EnemyToAllLivingThings, [[CardCarryingVillain and embraces the role]]. Plus he mocked Mewtwo by pointing out when [[WebAnimation/OneMinuteMelee he fought his genetic precursor Frieza]] [[spoiler:[[CurbStompBattle he got his ass utterly kicked]] ]]. |
| 163 | * [[EveryoneHasStandards His contempt for Cell]] seems to further disprove the claims that, [[LackOfEmpathy he has no no concern for others]]. His soft side is best seen in his partnership with Anne-Marie; she reminded him of his first and only human friend, a clone girl called Ai/Amber. He witnessed the sight of a little girl talking to animals, a scene that made the Legendary Pokémon instantly recall back to Amber. Her immense empathy and cheerfulness [[ThePollyanna in spite of her tragedy]] reached his augmented heart, and [[MoralityPet he gave her a hug while saying he would protect her]]. Mewtwo's soft side can be seen with animals who were lab experiments like the cast of [=We3=] or the Plague Dogs. And he considers what happened with the Chimeras to be especially offensive. Surprisingly Mewtwo pities ''[[ToServeMan the Minotaur]]'', as he is a TragicMonster born from unnatural [[BestialityIsDepraved and abominable]] circumstances who's driven to eat flesh out of being such an affront to natural law. |
| 164 | * Because of his past trauma Mewtwo has a stark distrust of the Hall of Scientists and Geniuses, and a starker hatred of the Evilutionists of Mad Science as they[[note]]well not Mesogog but they still don't like each other[[/note]] are scientists who embody everything that led to his trauma and initial hatred for humanity. He's ''especially'' disgusted by Professor Hojo, [[HateSink who doesn't do himself any favors]] by experimenting on [[GuineaPigFamily his own blood]]. [[TheSociopath Naturally, Hojo simply sees Mewtwo as a powerful resource and lab creation]]. While not nearly as repulsive, Dr Frankenstein's past actions and abandonment of his creation bring up Mewtwo's own issues and he hates him too. He also has an ax to grind against Maxwell Lord, who wants to use his psychic powers and his own mind control to get rid of metahumans. [[spoiler:[[Film/PokemonDetectivePikachu Someone tried to pull a similar stunt in the past]].]] |
| 165 | * He once held the trope GoneHorriblyRight. Or as one of his creators said [[WhereIWasBornAndRazed before he burned with the rest of the lab]], "we dreamed of creating the world's most powerful Pokémon...[[LastWords and we succeeded]]". Currently the holder of the trope is Bass, who doesn't wish to kill his creator, [[WellDoneSonGuy but the desire to impress]] means he intervenes with any other attempt to take out Mega Man. Mewtwo regards Bass as immature, but he's also well-aware his initial rebellion [[PsychopathicManchild had a fair amount of immaturity as well]]. Though Bass didn't regard him as a robot to surpass at first, as another being born artificially as a might fighter the Genetic Pokémon sees him as an opponent to prove his strength. [[ArrogantKungFuGuy And Bass admits]] he'd ''love'' to prove which of humanity's creations is superior-one of metal, or one of flesh. |
| 166 | * Mewtwo's greatest Pokémon rival is Arceus, the Alpha Pokémon. Arceus was the first to exceed him in raw stats, and handed him a definitive defeat. However [[VideoGame/PokemonXAndY Mega Evolution]] allowed Mewtwo to surpass even Arceus, though it was '''not''' easy to win a second time. Even then Arceus has told him that [[WorthyOpponent while they enjoyed their fight]], [[VideoGame/PokemonLegendsArceus the Arceus he knows]] [[FightingAShadow is a piece and not the whole]]. The genetic experiment has sworn to surpass even that, and is perfectly cognizant of the whole "man/science versus God" subtext that exists in their rivalry. His former greatest rival was Mew, the very being his DNA derived from. They stopped their rivalry after seeing how pointless the clone vs original battle was, but remain aloof to one another. |
| 167 | * He has a less intense rivalry with Silvally. Because of their similar backgrounds of scientific creations that..didn't go according to their creators plan they relate to one another. But both were made to be fighters, and Silvally seeks to challenge Mewtwo to prove it is no mere {{Expy}} of the older legendary. [[BloodKnight Mewtwo welcomed this]]. The Martian Manhunter is another rival and friend, having started [[DefeatMeansFriendship by fighting him over the legendary causing a ruckus]] [[NoodleIncident for reasons lost to time]]. Mewtwo finds his introspective and calm personality combined with his ability to live among humanity interesting. He was a bit surprised someone as powerful as him [[WeakToFire was so vulnerable to fire]], though as Mewtwo himself has a weakness to bugs perhaps he shouldn't really talk. |
| 168 | * Other than challenging others or accepting challenges to combat, Mewtwo prefers a secluded existence and spends most of its time within its shrine. He has accepted many challengers, [[WebAnimation/DeathBattle perhaps the most notable being Shadow]]. The two are well-aware of [[UltimateLifeform their similar backstories]], to the point some speculate Mewtwo started the fight by accusing him of "copyright infringement". [[spoiler:[[MindRape Through his psychic powers]] he swiftly beat Shadow [[ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice by impaling him]] [[VideoGame/PokemonAdventures with a spoon]].]] Afterwards Mewtwo mused to himself that he should try to master the Chaos Emeralds' powers to become "Super Mewtwo". The hedgehog robot Metal Sonic and the ever smug Infinite decided after this they want to do what Shadow failed and defeat the legendary Pokémon. Mewtwo [[BringIt welcomed Metal to try]], and simply said nothing to Infinite because he's considers him "[[InferioritySuperiorityComplex pathe]][[PsychopathicManchild tic]]". |
| 169 | * He likes Vegeta. [[ChallengeSeeker They have a fair bit]] [[BloodKnight in]] [[SmugSuper common]], if in a RedOniBlueOni outlook, [[WebAnimation/DeathBattle and they bonded over]] [[spoiler:owning Shadow and hatred of Frieza]]. Mewtwo is interested in Goku as a potential sparring partner, however he's a bit more interested in Shigeo Kageyama due to his psychic powers. Mewtwo has shown more interest in Carrie White due to her psychic and anger brought out by trauma, something he's more familiar with, leading to him wanting to aid her in fine-tuning and increasing her powers. Another friend of his he's gained Meruem, and by extension Komugi. Mewtwo used to have similar goals to Meruem and they share the "engineered UltimateLifeform" traits. |
| 170 | * As one of those who took part in Master Hand's competitions, Mewtwo is often called on by other "Smashers" to join the fray. His arrival is often met with much fanfare by followers. Unfortunately, Mewtwo has been having trouble getting reinvited. The ''Brawl'' iteration had him not only have a single trophy in his name but also replaced by Lucario (who has also come back for the 4th tournament). Then, an announcement trailer that had someone ''similar'' to Mewtwo revealed that a newcomer named Greninja has also come in. Since both of these Pokémon ascended into the Pantheon, Mewtwo has trained hard to beat them to the ground for taking his spot. However, it was revealed that he was coming back for the fourth Smash Tournament (albeit, as a latecomer, but better than never). His return was met with a bigger fanfare by his followers. As of now, he is currently training to achieve his revenge against the two usurpers. |
| 171 | * Some see him as his world's answer to FrankensteinsMonster. It's not something he denies, as they are intelligent beings who turned against their creator and to put it lightly had reason to distrust people. The two like to philosophize together. Along with disliking the Monster's creator, the Genetic Pokémon can't ever get himself to trust Dr Fraken Stein, [[MadScientist and he's not exactly wrong to do so]]. He doesn't trust the SCP Foundation either, as while many of the anomalies they contain are better contained someone like him doesn't like their attitude of ''everything'' anomalous needing to be kept under wraps[[note]][[EveryoneHasStandards though with ethics of the practice considered]][[/note]] for some [[TheMasquerade masquerade]]. They're leaving Mewtwo alone for now, but don't think he gives a good case for himself by being friendly with The Magician. Mewtwo has defended this friendship by stating he's interested [[TurnedAgainstTheirMasters in a kindred spirit]] [[BloodKnight who desires to defeat anyone]] and not something nefarious. |
| 172 | * Mewtwo has found himself relating with Laura Kinney and Solid Snake, fellow clones like himself that he's personally impressed with and can understand the trauma. He's generally on good terms with Spiderman's clones and Lea too, though not as much. However just because someone's a close doesn't mean Mewtwo likes them; he cannot imagine why the Grineer consider themselves some supreme species due to their severe CloneDegeneration [[Radio/PokemonTheBirthOfMewtwo while he holds an immortal lifeforce]]. It's one he gets from Mew, who imagines the Grineer are greedily looking at their genetic code for their own villainous goals. Mewtwo straight up dislikes Rau Le Creuset, [[OmnicidalManiac due to his misanthropic goals]] as revenge for his doomed nature as a clone. Before anyone calls him a hypocrite, [[TheAtoner it's BECAUSE he used to be similar as to why he's offended]]. On a lighter note Mewtwo is annoyed by the imperfect duplicate Bizarro due to how...weird and backwards a copy of [[Pantheon/{{Heroism}} Superman]] he is. [[BadIsGoodAndGoodIsBad Bizarro believes this is a compliment]]. |
| 173 | * Fecto Forge finds itself relating to Mewtwo as a powerful, psychic being pushing the AnimalisticAbomination line and [[LackOfEmpathy having no compassion to others]] (though that's more true with [[TheSociopath Fecto]]). It was amused by Mewtwo having his own "Elfilin" in Mew and tried to bond with Mewtwo over how they both broke out of a lab. Mewtwo refuses to bond with Fecto though, [[IWorkAlone due to being asocial]] [[EveryoneHasStandards and seeing Fecto too violent and destructive]]. |
| 174 | * Another person who finds himself relating to Mewtwo is [[Pantheon/KillersAndAssassins Agent 47]], being that they were both created as genetic experiments whose creators sees them as a tool for their own end. The stoic bald hitman can also relate to his struggles in finding a purpose upon discovering their clone origins. While 47 does show ''hints'' of compassion compared to someone like Fecto, Mewtwo still can't find himself bonding with him either given [[Main/ProfessionalKiller his profession]] and that Mewtwo tries to distance himself from such violence. Nevertheless, they would come to a mutual understanding with each other as they go their separate ways. |
| 175 | * Was recently embarrassed at how he was captured by a [[WebVideo/TwitchPlaysPokemonBlack2 girl named CLY]] on the first turn at full health. '''With a Timer Ball'''. [=LOLRanger=] laughed for days on end at the [[http://www.reddit.com/r/twitchplayspokemon/comments/2bgx4l/mewtwo_vs_cly/ initial encounter]]. Later, he became major target of interest for The Mob as they have tried several times to capture Mewtwo only to fail. He takes great amusement in [[IShallTauntYou taunting them]] every time they fail to capture him. |

| 195 | * OddFriendship: with [[Pantheon/ExtraterrestrialAppearanceAndBiology Sarah Kerrigan]] and [[Pantheon/IntrovertFlaws Miranda Lawson]] |
| 196 | * Just to be clear, Aya Brea (not Eve in Aya's body) ascended to the Pantheon [[VideoGame/The3rdBirthday after being gunned down on her wedding day]] and Eve diving into Aya's body in an attempt to save her, [[NiceJobBreakingItHero thus destroying Aya's soul and creating the Twisted]]. [[{{Understatement}} Whoopsies]]. Yeah, it sucks, but at least she got to shed her mortal shell and became a goddess, so that's at least one good thing to come from her demise. As for Eve, Aya has forgiven her of that little screw-up, and now her clone/little sister serves as her herald in the Pantheon. |
| 197 | * You're probably asking yourself just how Aya acquired her unique abilities? Well, she was born with a defect in her right eye. When she was five, Aya and her family were in a car accident in which both Mariko Brea and Maya Brea died. Maya's cornea was transplanted into Aya's bad eye, while her kidney went into Melissa Pearce - the future Mitochondria Eve. Aya's powers would manifest in what was to become [[VideoGame/ParasiteEve The New York Blockade Incident]], which she used to combat Mitochondria Eve over the next six days. |
| 198 | * Aya's powers (aside from being immune to internal combustion) is known as '''Parasite Energy'''. While she can heal, speed and slow down time, and use elemental-based attacks her most powerful technique is ''Liberation'', in which Aya turns into a mitochondrial creature with wing-like appendages and proceeds to open a can of whup-ass on the enemy, causing massive damage. Contrary to public opinion, the Overdrive ability is used by Eve Brea of which she used in an attempt to try and save Aya, with disastrous results. |
| 199 | * So what does Aya, Hitomi, Lars, and Jill have in common? All are half-Japanese. So it was no surprise that it was through this connection that Jill, Hitomi, and Aya became fast friends. |
| 200 | * As Cell sees himself as 'the Ultimate Being,' he takes offense to Aya's claims that she had defeated such a being on several occasions |
| 201 | * Most of the men in the Pantheon believe that Aya is just barely legal, but in truth, she's thirty-eight, thanks to the mitochondria in her body that is slowing down her ageing. Even Ivy Valentine, whose ageing had stopped due to her exposure to Soul Edge, is impressed, and she is older than Aya by a good decade. |
| 202 | * Speaking of Miranda Lawson, she is Aya's closest ally in the Pantheon. As a scientist, she finds Aya's abilities to be fascinating, even without the use of biotics. Suffice to say, she is the only scientist that Aya can stand. But [[Creator/YvonneStrahovski the reason behind their friendship remains unclear]]. |
| 203 | * Due to her mitochondrial powers, Aya has received unwanted attention from Albert Wesker and William Birkin. 'Scholar Will' and 'Practical Al' have heard not only about 'Mitochondria Eve,' but also Aya's mother, Mariko Anzai. The research notes from both Dr. Toshiaki and Dr. Klamp has piqued their interest. Fortunately for Aya, Jill has warned her of both Wesker and Birkin and of her own connection with the former. Should they try anything funny, then Aya is prepared. |

| 216 | * Rivals: The Goliath |
| 217 | * Enemies: [[Pantheon/ExtraterrestrialBehaviour Amon]], [[Pantheon/TyrannicalFigures Arcturus Mengsk]], [[Pantheon/VillainousArchetypes Doomsday]], [[Pantheon/{{Contempt}} The Grox]] |
| 218 | * Interested in: All ascended Franchise/{{Pokemon}} |
| 219 | * Opposed by: [[Pantheon/{{Zombies}} Sylvanas Windrunner]] |
| 220 | * Dehaka is a primal zerg, which behave rather different than other Zerg. Instead of a HiveMind they operate as a pack and constantly evolve in order to survive. After Kerrigan came to Zerus, Dehaka was quick to ally himself with her in order to survive. Now he serves as a key member of the swarm and played a key part in destroying the Psi Destroyer. |
| 221 | * Dehaka was first found in the House of Pantheon/{{Nature}} eating a few animals that could be found there. He was quickly apprehended before he made a mess but later he was given his own temple after Zagara requested it, since he was part of the Zerg army. In reality, having Dehaka inside was a plan of the broodmother to extend the Zerg dominions in the pantheon, although the primal zerg is an unruly being and tends to not follow her orders. |
| 222 | ** However, Dehaka still respects Kerrigan even after she [[spoiler:became a Xel'naga]]. That's why Zagara tends to ask Kerrigan out in how to control the Primal Zerg but Kerrigan herself doesn't know much besides being stronger than him. |
| 223 | * Became notorious in the [[Videogame/HeroesOfTheStorm Nexus]] when he took out a few participants by surprise. Weeks passed before they realized that Dehaka was there and soon he became a participant himself for the Zerg side. Many who have fought Dehaka have stated that he is an unpredictable opponent and that he seems to be everywhere all the time. |
| 224 | * Dehaka has the ability to burrow to almost anywhere in the pantheon be it the House of Pantheon/FamilyAndRelatives, Pantheon/LoveAndAffection, Pantheon/{{Weapons}} or even the Main House, he can always find a way by tunnelling to them. This has become a problem as he has a tendency to terrify a lot of deities who wouldn't expect him and since an [[NoodleIncident incident that involved him chasing Murky through five different houses]], the Court of Gods have left warnings about Dehaka possibly being present in almost any house. |
| 225 | ** He was eventually stopped in regards to all future Main House infiltrations and aggressively barred from doing so again, given [[Pantheon/MotivationsForEvil the last time someone penetrated the floor to attack it]]. While he can still do it, it's usually more trouble than it's worth. |
| 226 | * Took an interest in Doomsday after hearing of his flawless adaptation system and how he has survived impossible odds. Dehaka wanted to absorb Doomsday's essence but was not prepared when the creature completely wasted him mere seconds after he saw him. Needless to say, the primal Zerg does not like Doomsday but is plotting to eventually get his essence. |
| 227 | * The Grox were fascinated by Dehaka's genetics and sought to capture him for their evil purposes. But the primal zerg proved to be smarter than he seemed and the Grox were unsuccessful in capturing him while Dehaka has been able to harness the essence of some of the members he caught, a feat that none other deity has been able to do so far, and got stronger to the environments they inhabit. It's got to the point that he is able to enter their temple without repercussions and has done a lot of damage to them and has become a number 1 target to exterminate. This is one of the few reasons why the pantheon allows Dehaka to be anywhere he wants so long as he keeps harnessing the essence of the Grox. |
| 228 | ** However, many have been scared to thin that absorbing too much essence of the Grox would transform Dehaka into a being as toxic as them and so he is often submitted to a detoxification process in the House of Pantheon/HealthAndDiseases, even if he has refused half the time to do so. Although that has created a ViciousCycle that Dehaka keeps targeting the Grox for more essence after every checkup he had, possibly making him addicted to their genetics. |
| 229 | * Before his ascension he used to be a follower of the Goliath but after he got to meet the creature, they fought to see who was the strongest. They eventually tied and both retreated to fight another day, but Dehaka certainly finds the Goliath to be a WorthyOpponent. |
| 230 | * Not a big fan of Pantheon/MachineryAndTechnology and sometimes if triggered he will destroy most of it. There has been an attempt to ban him from the Technology house but it was proven futile when he can easily burrow into the House anyway so they just limit themselves to kick him out when he enters the House. |
| 231 | * When the topic of evolution came up, Dehaka has taken a special interest in Pokemon, seeing those creatures having the ability to evolve at certain levels fascinates him. Of course, he has tried to consume some Pokémon with mild success, but their essence has been proven less than effective on him, which would indicate that he is in advance stage of evolution for the essence to have an effect. |
| 232 | * Sylvanas hates Dehaka ever since [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=89KVf8EnFHA he attacked her while she busy destroying his base]]. But to his credit, he was just doing his job. |
| 233 | ** He is also rather infamous to not only Sylvanas but to [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gapGMyrI9XM other heroes as well]]. |
| 234 | * Dehaka has the potential of growing and evolving to its full potential: in which he grows to a size that allows him to '''melee''' attack starships. If he could grow to such size, he could rival even Godzilla [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking and grows his missing arm back]]. Of course, there have been many buffers that prevent Dehaka from growing out of control, so it is unlikely that he'll grow into a big problem. |
| 235 | ** It gets even sillier. As recently discovered, even at his base size, he has a very notable appetite, which can include reasonably small things to him like marines, zerglings and zealots... all the way up to Battlecruisers, Leviathans and even Stanks, things that should be far too large to reasonably fit into his mouth. The way he does it is also reminiscent of [[Characters/SuperMarioBrosAllies a certain]] [[Pantheon/BeastOther green dinosaur...]] |
| 236 | * And if you haven't noticed yet, yes, Dehaka is [[MemeticMutation very obsessed with essence collection]]. |
| 237 | --> '''Dehaka''': "Must collect '''ESSENCE''!" |
| 238 | * ''"Change is upon us."'' |

| 269 | * A very unique Pokémon, Eevee's DNA is able to turn them into other types depending on the situations. A Flareon when touched by a stone, Espeon when happy, Leafeon when near a special stone, and a Sylveon with strong love. |
| 270 | ** Originally, Eevee ascended on her own until her temple was reworked to include all of her different evolutions, thus her sister evolutions were soon allowed to enter as well. Eevee was overjoyed to have all her sisters with her so she wouldn't be alone. |
| 271 | * The Eeveelution sisters are all unique Pokémon as they not only are all female (which is quite rare among Eevees as the gender ratio is more towards males) and have Hidden Abilities, but most have moves that current generations of the same species are unable to learn anymore. This makes them even more of a mystery. |
| 272 | * Due to the various elements of each member, the Temple of Unstable [=DNA=] was remodeled exclusively by the architects responsible for the House of Shape. As such, each room within caters to each individual Pokémon's type from an endless pool of water for Vaporeon to a volcanic cavern for Flareon, and from a dark forest for Umbreon to a chilly snowfield for Glaceon among others. Visitors have to watch their step or they risk getting drowned, burned, shocked or frozen among other things. |
| 273 | ** The group was happy to find Ash Ketchum in the Pantheon, who proceeded to bring up how two of his friends -- May and Serena -- also had Eeveelutions of their own (Glaceon for the former and Sylveon for the latter). He also introduced them to a new friend of his -- that friend happened to be Chloe Cerise, daughter of Profesor Cerise, who is on a journey to figure out what her Eevee will evolve into (as it was implied to be either she can't evolve at all or she's unsure what she wants to evolve into). She immediately became the herald for all 9 Eeveelutions who hope to give Chloe the encouragement to choose her own path. |
| 274 | * It is considered a very bad idea to harm any of them as it will bring down the collective wrath of all nine upon the unlucky soul. Team Rocket attempted to captured them and instead got the receiving end of an unbelievable combination of nine Z-Moves. |
| 275 | ** The arrival of Hunter J, however, was far more difficult to defend against. J's superior tactics in poaching quickly neutralized them and all were ready to be captured and taken if it wasn't for the arrival of Ash, Pikachu and the Pokémon Rangers who quickly bested her defenses and safely rescued the Eeveelutions. All nine are eternally grateful for being saved and measures have been taken to prevent Hunter J from setting foot in their temple again. |
| 276 | * As users of various elements, the sisters feel safe around the known Pantheon Avatars, Aang and Korra. The fact that a [[BlowYouAway Flying]] evolution has yet to be discovered is not lost on the Air Nomad who hopes someday it comes to pass. The Water Tribesgirl, meanwhile, enjoys petting Vaporeon most as she is of her initial alignment, but lets Asami cuddle with the others whenever she visits her. |
| 277 | * Sir Hammerlock has been interested in Eevee's unusual evolution line even back when only she was ascended. Now with all her sisters in, his interest in them has increased and tried to study them for his almanac. Of course, they also knew about his past as a hunter and would run if he approached in a good day or outright attack him in their worst. It was only by having the Pokémon Rangers vouch for him did the Eeveelutions finally open up to Hammerlock. By studying them, it has helped improve his notes on Pokémon in general. He is, however, wary of Leafeon as she is part plant. |
| 278 | * Because of her unstable genetic code, people have theorized that Eevee could potentially evolve into every known elements of the Pokémon chart. Not only that, but it could also evolve into a second base evolution and also has a Mega Evolution. Many have illustrated or come up with their representation of these possible evolution but only Eevee herself knows which are possible. |
| 279 | * Despite the fact she can evolve whenever she wants to, the Pantheon's Eevee is purely unable due to the strange magic that surrounds the Pantheon itself. After all, all her sisters are represented so she has no reason to be an extra one. Some say being kept an Eevee has made her very strong. |
| 280 | * Vaporeon when not with the rest of her sisters can be spotted lounging around the Hall of Water & Ice. Many are impressed by her skill in becoming completely invisible when immersed in water. The only way anyone can find her is looking for her eyes whenever she opens them. |
| 281 | * Aside from being a Water Pokémon, she has learned the Rain Dance move as it compliments her Hydration ability. Chaac was impressed by the rain she is able to summon but added he can help her improve it. The Bubble Jet Pokémon agreed despite already assigned partnership to fellow Water-user Sailor Mercury. With the help of the Mayan deity, her Rain Dance is just a few grades below from the potency and power of [[Pantheon/ElementsAndNatureOther Primal Kyogre's]] Primordial Sea rain. |
| 282 | * Jolteon is hard to open to due to her electronically-charged spiky fur but only among those she trusts does she allow to be petted by keeping the fur's voltage down enough to get a slight tingling sensation to the hands of those who caress it. She also spends time in the House of Technology where her electricity is safely drained to fill surplus batteries for the Pantheon's emergencies. |
| 283 | * Jolteon spends her off-days running across the lightning storm plains of the Hall of Fire and Electricity, where getting struck by lightning is no major inconvenience for her. She welcomes anyone brave enough to run with her on her dangerous treks and eventually she found a FriendlyRival with Experiment 221. Even though Sparky tends to win most of the time as he uses the lightning bolts to ride, some brave spectators to these dangerous races under the electric sky has seen that he lets Jolteon win a few of these times. Why he lets her win is a mystery but a few shipping-based gods see a blossoming romance between them. 221 outright denies this...supposedly. |
| 284 | * Perhaps due to her being a fire-type, Flareon can tend to be a bit HotBlooded and [[{{Determinator}} when she sets her mind on something, she will accomplish it no matter what]]. Gaining her respect is easy if you show her you have the same amount of determination as she does. As for gaining her enmity, there's one [[{{Pun}} sure fire]] way of getting her angry: [[WebVideo/TwitchPlaysPokemon Call her a "false prophet"]] and you'll find yourself on the receiving end of a [[KillItWithFire Flare Blitz]] if you're lucky. May Arceus have mercy on you if she instead goes straight to [[ThatOneAttack Inferno Overdrive]]. |
| 285 | * Flareon wandered to the Main Gates one day as a new God was being ascended which always ended with a fireworks display of majestic proportions. The Eeveelution was absolutely enraptured by the colorful lights and explosions. Eventually, she was determined to meet the one who crafted the fireworks and was soon led to the Panda King. The stoic panda was adamant to have Flareon around his temple workshop since he was worried she could accidentally set off the volatile ingredients he worked. Flareon however wouldn't quit and tried to catch his attention. Panda King took note on her spirit and dedication to actually want to see him craft and decided to let her stay in the end, making her very happy. Soon, he became her partner and he started to train her in the art of Flame Fu which she relished at it made great exercise. It is said that thanks to his training, Flareon's already powerful Attack stat has reached levels that rival Greater Gods and can stand toe to toe with Legendaries with the power of her Flare Blitz alone. |
| 286 | * Unlike the other Eeveelutions, it's very easy to know what Espeon says since she projects her thoughts unto others via Telepathy. This isn't completely good since she likes to read the minds of others in return, learning all their secrets in the process. Many are advised to [[PokeInTheThirdEye use any way to keep her from focusing on reading their minds]]. Trying to literally poke her forehead gem, however, and she will respond with a powerful Psychic blast. She ''[[BerserkButton really]]'' hates being touched there. |
| 287 | * It is no surprise a powerful telepath like her was immediately attracted to Kotoura Haruka. Haruka at first saw Espeon as a cute cat and was immediately reminded about the [[TearJerker stray cat from her childhood]] which saddened her momentarily. What surprised her most of all was that she then could hear Espeon offer her apologies for not only being able to hear Haruka's thoughts but also capable of tapping into her mind and learning of her tragic childhood. This scared the young telepath as she was unable to read Espeon's thoughts but the opposite could. Nevertheless, the Sun Pokémon assured her that she will be "her kitty" and remain by her side whenever she needs her. This made Haruka very happy and gave Espeon a good long hug which the Eeveelution enjoyed. |
| 288 | ** Naturally, Haruka took her to meet her friends at the ESP Society. Immediately, Espeon didn't get along with Yoshihisa due to his [[DirtyMindReading perverted fantasies]] but tolerates him for Haruka's sake. Nevertheless, whenever he gets too perverted, she immediately uses her power to give him a slight headache until his dirty thoughts cease. Also, just like Osaka, she too knows the meaning behind his purple figure and all Espeon mentions is that she needs BrainBleach after finding out. Yoriko, meanwhile, is more surprised over how an animal is able to develop psychic abilities and wants to learn more about her. Daichi, though, shows slight surprise over her but he is far more modest than Yoriko's exuberance and that suited Espeon just fine. |
| 289 | * Umbreon by her nature has always been nocturnal, starting from when she first evolved from an Eevee. During the day, she's found sleeping within the unnaturally dark forest in her temple room. It's advised to not wake up during these times or the unlucky soul will be subjected to a [[DeathGlare Mean Look]] that would rival both [[Characters/FriendshipIsMagicFluttershy The Stare]] and the [[Comicbook/GhostRider Penance Stare]] respectively. While the rest of her sisters are sleeping away at night, she is most active during these times as she borrows more strength from the night. If anyone ever sees her awake and about during the daytime, it's a sign something very wrong has happened. |
| 290 | * As her appearance borrows elements from [[MoonRabbit mythical moon rabbits]], Kaguya Houraisan was chosen as her partner. Eirin accepted the newcomer warmly and Tewi was ecstatic at having a new "subordinate to boss over". Reisen, however...was not happy. Fearing she would be replaced as Kaguya's pet, she challenged Umbreon to a staring contest with the intent purpose of driving her away with her MagicalEye powers. What happened instead was [[CurbstompBattle Umbreon easily overcoming the illusions and scaring Reisen so badly with her more-powerful Mean Look]], she was found in a TroubledFetalPosition for days afterward. After seeing how Umbreon easily bested Reisen, Tewi thought twice about making her a subordinate. Eirin helped the rabbit youkai and Eeveelution patch things up but remained [[FriendlyRival friendly rivals]] for Kaguya's attention. |
| 291 | * Leafeon enjoys being around the many gardens located within the Pantheon, with special emphasis on the Hall of Plants. Not only can she produce clean oxygen by her [[{{Planimal}} internal photosynthesis process]] but she has stopped any signs of pollution dead in its tracks. Naturally, she has been seen alongside other protectors of nature such as Viridi, the Spring Sprite and the Lorax. Needless to say, those who defile nature such as the Lich, the Firebird and Hexxus want her stopped. Some [=GUA=] mooks loyal to these three attempted to capture her but instead were assailed [[BewareTheNiceOnes by her sharp leaves and attacks, further amplified by Swords Dance]]. To say this flower has some sharp thorns is an understatement. |
| 292 | * The entire Pantheon was shocked to learn who would be Leafeon's chosen partner: Poison Ivy. They were even ''more'' shocked to learn it was '''Batman''' himself who saw to it that the two would meet and bond. [[WhatTheHellHero Before getting chewed out for this unusual decision]], he simply said to allow nature to literally run its course. Selina and Harley, being two of the few deities that can safely visit Pamela, have noticed how she shows unnatural fondness for the Verdant Pokémon like a personal pet, more so since she is more plant than animal. Others have noticed how Ivy is very protective of her to the point that harming her would be like harming a flower in her presence. More cautious deities are worried over Leafeon's safety being close to a villain like her, but strangely enough the Eeveelution is noticed to keep Ivy's more savage eco-terrorist tendencies in line when near her. Batman's gambit in approving partnership of Leafeon in order to make her a literal MoralityPet to Pamela is apparently successful, but even he worries Leafeon will not be able to keep Ivy satisfied for long. |
| 293 | * Glaceon's constant snow flurries and diamond dust clouds that surround her has been capitalized by some few hungry House of Food patrons who have found the snow she creates have a certain texture that makes it ideal snow-cone material. Glaceon herself doesn't mind it but finds it rather curious over how others would eat her snow. Then there was the time Nick Wilde attempted to do his old popsicle con back at Zootopia only using her own snow. What followed next was a near-frozen blue-furred fox shivering his way out of the Eeveelutions' temple. Judy merely face-pawed at the sight. |
| 294 | * When Queen Elsa was selected to be Glaceon's partner, everyone immediately considered it a given. Still, Anna immediately had a CutenessProximity reaction upon seeing the Fresh Snow Pokémon and hugged her tightly (despite getting a slight chill) while Olaf was overjoyed to have a new friend to play with, especially one whose hugs were as cold as him. Elsa allows Glaceon to play with her sister and the snowman most of the time, but the rest of the time she spends actively training the Eeveelution. The reason she puts her heart into training her is two-fold: Glaceon is one of the few living creatures that actually thrive in icy climates so she doesn't have to worry about accidentally freezing her, and caring for the Eeveelution has allowed her to open her emotions in a different way compared to Anna. This makes the younger Arendelle princess happy to learn her older sister is opening her emotions to more than just her. |
| 295 | * As the newest discovered Eeveelution (even more so of a brand new type), not much is known about Sylveon. What is known is that she enjoys being around others and touching them with her ribbon-like feelers on her "bows". As Hammerlock can attest while studying her, getting touched by the feelers produce a state of absolute calmness and serenity that can be simply described as heavenly. She is naturally one of the unofficial mascots of the House of Friendship as she loves to meet new people and intertwine her feelers around them. |
| 296 | * An important breakthrough came to pass when Rena Ryuugu saw Sylveon up and about one day and went immediately into [[ImTakingHerHomeWithMe Omochikaeri]]-mode. As she happily scampered off with Sylveon in her hands, Judy Hopps was able to catch a glimpse of what she was doing from afar and feared for Sylveon's life as memories of her encounter with Rena's [[AxCrazy Hinamizawa]] personality resurfaced. She quickly gathered a group in hopes of saving Sylveon's life and rushed to her temple. What they found, however, was beyond their comprehension. They found Rena sitting on the floor, giggling and happily cuddling Sylveon as the Eeveelution nuzzled against her as her feelers held a vice-like grip on her arms and body. Upon analyzing Rena, the results were shocking to everyone present: Her Hinamizawa Syndrome has gone into recession as if she was never infected in the first place! They later tested this on Keiichi and the Sonozaki twins and they too had their syndrome signs dormant as they looked peaceful being intertwined. Unfortunately, after the effects of the feelers was gone for a lengthy period, their Hinamizawa symptoms resurfaced. After this, Sylveon was studied by scientists around the clock to figure out just what causes her feelers' CooldownHug effect and see if it can be applied to any deity with control issues. |
| 297 | * Due to her CuddleBug nature, it was given that Hirasawa Yui would be chosen as her partner. The Houkago Tea Time guitarist has taken a shine to her and enjoys giving her hugs as much as Sylveon gives them back. Given her CloudCuckooLander tendencies, it's quite a shock to everyone that Yui is able to concentrate more in her music as she loves watches Sylveon's astounded reaction to her guitar playing. The rest of the band actually enjoy the Eeveelution's presence and effect on Yui that they consider her the band's mascot as well. |
| 298 | * Of course, not everyone is happy at Yui being chosen as Sylveon's partner. Nui Harime was furious to not be chosen as Sylveon's partner saying that since both are associated with the color pink and they're both adorned with bows that they were destined to be partners. [[CuteAndPsycho Being who she is]], though, she has tried underhand tactics to get her away from Yui by [[Creator/StephanieSheh imitating her voice perfectly]] among other tricks which tend to get more violent the more Nui gets frustrated. This does little to sway the Intertwining Pokémon to her side as she loves being with the Houkago Tea Time band more. Luckily for Yui and the rest of Houkago Tea Time, Ryuko, Satsuki and the rest of the Student Council make sure to keep Nui as far away from Sylveon as possible. |

| 335 | %% * {{Biodata}} is a rather difficult subject to explain. It covers the notion that information is the lifeblood of modern (and likely future) civilization, and can be stored in analog, digital, or organic form, on an organic or even biological matrix. A recurring theme in the ''Franchise/ShinMegamiTensei'' series is the concept that ''everything'' ultimately boils down to data, and many of its imply or outright state all matter, energy and phenomenons in the universe boil down to data-like existence, which are often compared to information or human thought in nature. This is the main reason why spells, summoning, and other RealityWarper effects can be inserted into computers, and why the Demon Summoning Program even works. ''VideoGame/DigitalDevilSaga'' takes this to a whole new level with [[spoiler:the Atma Virus, which unlocks the demon data that exists in humans and gives them that form, the fact that Data travels back and forth between the Earth and Sun, which explains reincarnation, and the current crisis stems on that]]. |
| 336 | |
| 337 | * Biodata is a rather difficult subject to explain. It covers the notion that information is the lifeblood of modern (and likely future) civilization, and can be stored in analog, digital, or organic form, on an organic or even biological matrix. In the world of ''Franchise/ShinMegamiTensei'', the concept that everything, be it buildings, plants, people, souls, abilities, and creation itself, is ultimately made up of what can be aptly described as data. Not simply as just a form of information but as a state of matter smaller than an atom. ''VideoGame/DigitalDevilSaga'' explores this concept the best. Understanding that creation is made of data, being able to utilize said data allowed the brilliant scientist Jenna Angel to create the Atma Virus. A virus that unlocks the demonic data hidden inside the human body, allowing them not only to transform into a demon, but it unlocks the power associated with said demon form as well. [[spoiler:More impressively, this concept can also be used as a form of pseudo-reincarnation. Despite not having the specific information implemented, they can still retain certain information of concepts that they ''shouldn't'' know, or memories that they’ve never ''personally'' experienced. It’s also how even when created in a virtual reality, someone, or something, can be transferred into the real world, if only [[BagOfSpilling slightly overwritten]].]] |
| 338 | * The story of the Embryon Tribe begins in what's known as The Junkyard. The Junkyard is a harsh, unforgiving, war-torn wasteland, with six major Tribes battling for control and supremacy. Once one tribe defeats the leader of another, the losing tribe will join the victors, and when there is only one tribe left, they will be awarded with the right to reach the top of the Karma Temple and enter Nirvana. Sometimes however, some groups form new minor Tribes and overthrow and replace one of the major Tribes, which Serph, Heat, Argilla, and Cielo have done to Gale's previous Tribe, so such a time was going to be a long, long time coming. At least that what was the initial plan. One day, a mysterious giant egg landed in territory between the Embryon and Vanguard Tribes, and the two fought each other thinking the other brought it here. When the egg opened, two things happened. One, all hell broke loose, with soldiers transforming into demons, and with these demons slaughtering and devouring their victims. Two, a young unconscious black-haired girl lay where egg was. This girl was Sera, and with arrival, everything changed. |
| 339 | ** Not long after Sera's arrival and the Vanguard's defeat during an investigation by Embryon, the Tribe leaders were given a new order: to be allowed to enter Nirvana, on top of defeating the other Tribes, they must also have "the black-haired girl" in their custody as well. With their new orders and powers, they set out to win the war once and for all. As they defeated more Tribes, and hopefully unravel the secret behind Sera, they discovered certain oddities. For one, the law that once ironclad and unquestioned has lost its grip on the inhabitants, the Solids Tribe would go to join the Brutes as opposed to the Embryon upon defeat, and members of the Embryon tribe even discussed to themselves if they’d actually join the tribe that would hypothetically kill their leader (the answer is no). They realized that they know and fully understand certain creatures and concepts that don’t exist in the Junkyard, such a cat despite having never seen one before hand, and parents and children, despite neither existing. The leader of the Brutes, Varin Omega, or has he refers to himself [[spoiler:Colonel Beck]], explained it all. Everyone in the Junkyard is already dead, and Nirvana is the world of their origin, Earth. With the new revelation and Sera's memory restored, she left the tribe to confront the who started all of this. The voice that made the new decree in the Karma Temple, the one who released the Demon Virus, the reason to why Sera appeared in the Junkyard, was [[spoiler:Sera's mother/father]] Angel. As they chased after her, refusing to abandon a comrade, they saw that the Junkyard was disappearing, with no where else but up, they battled to the top of the Karma Temple and confronted Angel, where she decided to engage them in battle with an Atma Avatar of her own. While they prevailed, it was still too late to stop the deletion. Even as the party hotfooted it to the pillar of light where Angel entered in an attempt to escape the destruction, and everyone (Angel included) managed to make it out and travel (back) to Earth, though they ended up separated. Unfortunately, instead of being greeted by a clear blue sky, they were met with a harsh yellow one with a black sun. Their battle was far from over. |
| 340 | ** Fortunately for the Tribe, everyone eventually managed to reunite, and gain new allies in the name of the Lokapala, a human resistance group led by a man named Roland, and one of its younger members named Fred, who had found three of the Tribe soon after their arrival on Earth. It’s from Roland they learned the complete truth of the Junkyard, that it was virtual simulation meant to replicate real-life military warfare, and it was all created by Sera under guidance from the Karma Society. Not only that, but the one who turned the Earth into a hostile wasteland, where demonic power is required to survive the environment, was none other than God himself. Now knowing the truth, and more importantly, where to find Sera, their mission was clear; find the missing members of their tribe, save Sera, and convince God to spare the world. Unfortunately no plan is perfect, many hurdles were thrown in their way, [[spoiler:and sacrifices were needed to continue on]]. Fortunately, nothing would stop them, [[spoiler:not even death, as all life and constructs are at their core, Data]], the Embryon Tribe was still able to continue forward [[spoiler:even after death]]. Together, fully reunited, they confronted God, and through combat they successfully convinced Him of humanity's right for survival. For their reward, not only was the Humanity spared and the Earth saved, [[spoiler:but everyone was reincarnated to live a new and peaceful life under the guidance of a now-adult Fred years later]]. |
| 341 | |
| 342 | %% * It all began for Serph and company (well, there are other bits, but they can be mentioned later) at a place called the Junkyard where they were in conflict with five other Tribes for as long as they can remember. And even everything changed when a mysterious giant egg landed in territory between the Embryon and Vanguard Tribes. The two fought each other over thinking the other brought it here. And then the egg "hatched", and affected everyone in the Junkyard, giving everyone demon powers and a hunger for flesh in order to remain sane. Once the Embryons recovered, they saw the "egg" contained a black-haired girl named Sera, and promptly took her in. Later, Karma Temple decreed that all Tribes should eliminate one another ''and'' secure the black-haired girl (of which the descrition fit only Sera), with a path to Nirvana as a reward. |
| 343 | %% ** One by one, as the Embryon Tribe members struggled with the hunger and their newfound emotions, they took down each Tribe (well, there was one they temporarily allied to get rid of another, and that Tribe was all but wiped out). However, due to certain truths, Sera went on ahead without them while they were recovering, and tried to have the Karma Temple guards bar their progress despite their victory in accordance to the Temple's laws. That was because the Junkyard was a simulation all along, Sera is its creator, all its inhabitants are [=AIs=] based on people she knew, and she was meeting with the Karma Temple's superior (Jenna) Angel to plead for the Junkyard to be spared. However, Angel had no patience and went through the deletion process anyway. |
| 344 | %% ** Fortunately, Serph and his crew reached the two even as the deletion was making its way up the very, very tall Karma Temple, and Angel decided to engage them in battle with an Atma Avatar of her own. While they prevailed, it was still too late to stop the deletion. Even as the party hotfooted it to the pillar of light where Angel entered in an attempt to escape the destruction (with Gale picking her up on the way, having been seeing her in flashbacks the entire time), it was almost too late for Serph, but in all the confusion everybody managed to make it out, but they were all separated…and brought to the real world (and for once, ''[[AvertedTrope not]]'' [[TokyoIsTheCenterOfTheUniverse in Tokyo]], but somewhere in the USA or Australia since dollars are used as currency where Serph and company end up at instead of macca). And because new bodies were materialized for the Embyron Tribe surivors, naturally [[BagOfSpilling very little of their accumulated abilities are carried over from the simulated world]]. |
| 345 | %% ** And out there, things were way worse. Due to [[spoiler:Sera's anguish on seeing murder, the Karma Society providing the means to contact God, and Angel strengthening the normally harmless demon data emitted from the sun]], the sun has turned black, withering away all plants, and turning all people exposed to its rays into stone via the Cuvier Syndrome, forcing humanity to live underground, the lucky few chosen by an organization called the Karma Society, who lived in sanctuary and (exc. its soldiers) oblivious to the chaos outide. And the soldiers go hunting for other human refugees. That's where the Embryon Tribe enter the picture, all separated. Serph, Argilla, and Gale are found by some kids from Lokapala, one of the remaining resistance groups against the Kamra Society. Cielo has already been found by Lokapala led by Roland and is among them by the time the aforementioned three make it there thanks to those kids. Roland eventually reveals to Serph and his crew that the Junkyard, a.k.a. "Asura Project: Stage 1", was a VitualReality designed for urban warfare. The project was designed to develop combat enhancement AI to be implanted in the Society's soldiers, and its ultimate "winners" were going to be programmed into microchips for this purpose. |
| 346 | %% ** Later on, after accepting a deal with Roland (though only because it would lead them to Sera) to make their way into the Karma Society through a secret entrance (and holding Cielo as leverage), Serph and his party eventually made contact with the mole within the Society, who wants them to free captives at the internment facility and use the commotion from the breakout to sneak out Sera. When Argilla asks who's escorting the civilians out safely, Roland arrives and assures Lokapala wil handle that. And not only does he bring Cielo with him, he shows his own Atma Brand, offers himself to join the party, and responds to their initial distrust with a promise that they can kill him if he fails them. During this search, they eventually find Heat, but he's working for the Karma Society now, all to keep Sera safe. It also turns out the Karma Society isn't as unified as expected, and that Jenna Angel has a different plan than Margot Cuvier/Madame's, who only wants to preserve mankind, even though her methods might be undesirable. Upon chasing off Heat, and eventually confronting Angel (thanks to her soldiers turning on Madame's and showing the way), the director lent them a way out and to Sera, though not before spouting out her own plans; in contrast to Madame's vision of Order, Angel wants to sow Chaos. |
| 347 | %% ** The party manage to reach Sera and extract her from the EGG chamber, but Madame was there to put the Cyber Shaman's friends' lives at ransom, as was Heat, who went against orders and tried to rush the party. Serph stood there in response…took his attack without retaliation, then took both of them to fall inside the EGG chamber where Sera was once held. This acts (and Sera's anguish) ends up triggering God to start extracting Earth's data at a speed of 945.56 zettabytes per second using its HAARP. As for the Embryon Tribe, Gale took the reins of leadership, Roland directed the group to the Power Plant to stop the data transmission and shut down HAARP, and Angel would dispose of Madame. Unfortunately for Embryon, as well as Lokapala, this plan failed, Meganada/Indrajit is set loose to kill them all, Roland is forced to sacrifice himself to blow up the Plant, and somehow from Argilla's tears the Water Crown Atma manifests on Sera, giving her Serph's powers. Oh, and Argilla joins Roland too in his sacrifice to distract Meganada long enough for Roland's plan to succeed. |
| 348 | %% ** Sera, Gale, and Cielo return to where the EGG was in an attempt to converse with God once again, though they had to get past Heat's maddened altered Atma Avatar Vritra. It also turns out Serph had survived the plunge into the EGG chamber, and Schroedinger—an entity that took the form of a cat and had been observing the group from afar the entire time—decided to show him the truth of what happened 5 years ago: [[spoiler:The Karma Society was trying to make contact with God, using telepathic children for this end, and Sera was the nineteenth. Serph's and Heat's "templates", Dr. Serph Sheffield and Dr. Heat O'Brien were in opposition to one another just like the [=AIs=] are, the only difference being that Sheffield was a sociopath showing only a caring facade towards Sera, whereas O'Brien's concern was behind his frustrations, leading to what the [=AIs=] are now. And when an altercation resulted in O'Brien being killed by a nurse (who serves as Argilla's "template") devoted to Sheffield, that event, as well as his gloating of his true goal to acquire God's power for himself, led to Sera's anguish resulting in God turning the Sun black and the start of the Cuvier Syndrome, as well as Sheffield being turned into a demon and going berserk before being shot down]]. At the end of this exposition, Serph is met by [[spoiler:O'Brien's ghost, as well as Sheffield's and an early version of Serph]], and he defeats them [[spoiler:with O'Brien's help]]. After that, he bursts out of Vritra, who in turn reverts into Heat, [[spoiler:who has had memories of his template thanks to his time working under Madame]]. The two then depart for the room where [[spoiler:their templates faced off and where the whole mess began]], but it turns out Heat was already bleeding to death in the aftermath of his battle with the others as Vritra. |
| 349 | %% ** With the EGG busted, there was one last plan to fix things; Sera has to go to a faraway HAARP Facility, though an airplane is needed to get there in time. She intended to send herself to God alone, but the Embryon Tribe aren't saying no to coming along. And at the airport where they intend to hijack a plane, they had to go through Karma Soldiers under Angel's orders to sieze Sera. And Angel herself would intercede, [[TheRestShallPass though Gale would stall her to let the others through]] [[spoiler:mainly because he has unfinished business with her as well, primarily regarding his template David Gale, who was a close companion of Angel's before he died]], and he would die taking her down. While a plane was thankfully found and they took off, Cielo would be the next to fall as he stalls Karma Society fighters jets pursuing Serph and Sera. And when they reached the HAARP Facility, and got things started, they ended up just a wee bit too late as the facility blew up and was set ablaze, destroying their bodies. |
| 350 | %% ** Forunately however, the two managed to send their Data to God. On the way there, [[spoiler:they ended up merging into Seraph, and]] the Data from their fallen companions, plus Jinana, Lupa, David, and even Madame and Angel, joined them at the Sun. Schrodinger congratulates the new Seraph for the merge, and the real final leg of the journey begins. Argilla, Gale, and Cielo rejoin the party, but depending on responses Serph makes throughout his entire journey, either Roland or Heat steps in as the fifth member of the party who would plea with God to stop consuming the Earth's data. It would be an arduous journey, with a gauntlet of previous bosses and extremely powerful demons, but eventually the party reach God (who isn't YHVH for once, but [[Myth/HinduMythology Brahman]]) and He is asked to turn the sun back to normal. [[spoiler:He actually agrees… after they beat Him in combat to prove their dedication. Once they do, He proves true to His word, and Earth is able to rebuild, a surprisingly unambiguously positive ending compared to every other ''Shin Megami Tensei'' work at the time, with no more supernatural threats looming over them like every other universe, even the ''Persona'' games]]. While everyone else rejoins the cycle to be reborn, [[spoiler:Seraph remains behind, having achieved enlightenment (though their constituents actually join the cycle instead), and Schrodinger shows up once more to congratulate them, revealing himself to be another Seraph who has also achieved enlightenment prior, and the two depart to parts unknown.]] |
| 351 | |
| 352 | * As for how the party made it to the Pantheon, it's actually courtesy of a powerful resident there establishing contact with God, a.k.a. [[Myth/HinduMythology Brahman]] (rather than YHVH) during His fight with them. Because everything there is technically data, copying everything necessary was a cinch, and recreating them in the Pantheon was just as simple. In respect to [[spoiler:Seraph's fate, they do not ascend alongside everyone else, but their constituents do, and thus]] Serph and Sera join their comrades in the Pantheon. And to alleviate the issues of HorrorHunger, the duration it takes before the need to consume comes up is extended so that there's no need to…feed so often to be unable to enjoy the company of other non-Tuners, though the fact they still do is something Roland and Sera have to live with now. |
| 353 | * Applies to all or some of them: |
| 354 | ** Back when they existed in the Junkyard, things did not operate as they do on Earth. Whenever someone dies there, their bodies turn into the silvery rain that falls from the sky. Eventually, they are reborn and come stumbling out from the Karma Temple alone. At this point, they can either find their way to the nearest tribe and join up, or band together and try to take over another tribe's territory. This is essentially how Serph and company took over their current base, killing the leader of the previous tribe there, then going to the Karma Temple to petition them to be allowed to form their own tribe. Interestingly, Gale wasn't part of Serph's crew in the overthrow, but among the defeated tribe, who called for a ceasefire once the leader was dead, and then as per rules of the Junkyard, all remaining soldiers were integrated into the then-new Embryon Tribe. |
| 355 | ** In terms of their… housing, given they have none outside the simulation most of them came from, the Embryon Tribe's temple takes the form of [[https://megamitensei.fandom.com/wiki/Muladhara Muladhara]], their former base at the Junkyard, and their entire force was revived as well to serve as Heralds. All their soldiers, AI simulacra though they may be, were still based on once-living people just like them, and all of them have Atma brands that make them able to turn into certain demons. Due to their bonds with Argilla and Gale respectively, Jinana and Lupa are revived now as members of Embryon. Roland's soldiers among the Lokapala who were slain in the war against the Karma Society, or by the Meganada/Indrajit, are among the revived to serve as Heralds to Roland, though only those that have died after Serph's party materialized in the real world. That said, contact with the post-rebuild world at the end of the game was also established, allowing Fred to see them again. |
| 356 | ** Despite it all being a simulation, the Embyron tribe are proficient with firearms. Argilla is a talented sniper, Heat lobs grenades with a launcher (if he's not using an assault rifle), and Serph is able to shoot projectiles out of the air with a handgun. Gale also sometimes attacks with a knife in his shoe if he's not packing an assault rifle, and Cielo uses a submachinegun. Roland uses a shotgun, and Sera has learned to use a pistol. And given the threat level of things in the Pantheon, there is no need to use their Atma Avatars all the time, and where their human forms have combat advantages in being able to use guns, having no elemental or ailment weaknesses, and immunity to Expel/Light skills. |
| 357 | ** However, they all still hunger for Magnetite, and acquire it from eating humans and demons in their Atma Avatars. In the case of the latter though, because SMT demons are varied, this can also mean the likes of yokai, legendary figures, or even ''angels'' and legitimate deities. Thankfully, in addition to ther current selves not needing sustenance as frequently as before, there are plenty such roaming around, and evil humans that deserve death (such as [[Pantheon/OrganizedCrime the Slavers]], [[Pantheon/VillainousRoles HYDRA]], etc.) aren't in short supply either, though having said meat be processed into canned food isn't out of the question, [[WhatMeasureIsANonHuman and killing humans doesn't grant them Atma Points for improving their Avatars]]. And there's always the Flesh Eaters Hall in the House of Food, as well as the House of Slaughter. |
| 358 | ** Due to the need for Magnetite, this does mean that they cannot Hunt synthetic or extraterrestrial beings, who possess…different energies when they did try eating some of them. Whatever it was they had, it wasn't Magnetite. Given that eating living flesh was just a matter of needing it to survive, the Tribe [[YourApprovalFillsMeWithShame actually look down on cannibals who enjoy eating others]]. Even Heat, as accepting as he is of his circumstances, doesn't see any appeal in undetaking this practice merely for pleasure. They were also disgusted by Shesha of the Divine Powers, who devoured humans despite his distaste for human flesh but sadistically eats them anyway. That said, they pity Merkava's plight and come to understand how they had to eat or otherwise starve, and vice versa. However, Merkava isn't willing to go near them in fear of giving in to his hunger and trying to devour them as well. |
| 359 | *** Killing/Eating one's own ''allies'' is a sore trigger for anybody, but Cielo acts much more strongly against it, after Tribhvana Earth ate his comrades Air and Heaven in an attempt to best the Embryon Tribe. To him, anyone who does that while calling them their comrades doesn't deserve to. Gale actually pities them if all it grants is strength, because the Tribe knows that it's not everything that matters. Of course, the whole devouring thing makes them a terror not only to their foes, leading to panic most of the time for the lesser-willed, but can also be demoralizing for their allies too sometimes. |
| 360 | %% ** With the exception of Roland and Sera, the Embryon Tribe is fearful of the Demi-Fiend (though Heat would deny that) after an alleged encounter with him. Apparently, Cielo's weakness to ailments (plus a skill called Null Sleep, which guarantees attacks to miss while under ForcedSleep) was crucial to their victory somehow the first time. Whether it actually happened or not, Naoki does regard the incident as real on his end. And since he's now heard of their accomplishments, he won't be holding back as much the next time they cross paths for a fight. |
| 361 | ** Given their trial against Brahman, his fellow deity in the Hindu Trinity, [[Pantheon/DivineRoles Vishnu]], is appreciative of their presence in the Pantheon, though his curious as to why "Seraph" wasn't among them. Even if they did not actually ''[[OptionalBoss need]]'' to face him in battle en route to Brahman. If they had met him, Vishnu stated that it had been a while since the dharma (righteousness) has vanished from people's hearts and been replaced by adharma (wickedness) as it has in their world. He had intended to destroy them to cleanse the impurity, but they had shown the strength of their dharma to him through combat. |
| 362 | ** They sympathize with Melfina as both being {{Artificial Human}}s. The Tribe compared her to Sera as they learned about her as she was the key to finding the Galactic Leyline, contained in her body. They compared the Galactic Leyline to Brahman because of their omnipotence. They also get along swimmingly with Marceline, as they share the ability of obtaining abilities by consuming their foes (they to complete their Mantras for learning abilities, and she to acquire their abilities). The Vampire Queen, on her part, strongly sympathized with the tribe for their struggles. |
| 363 | ** As Junkyard residents who aren't completely familiar with the ways of the outside world, even with what they learn, the Embryon Tribe (or at least Gale, Serph, and Argilla) don't really understand the whole excuse of someone being JustAKid; willingness to fight (and the capacity to contribute to it) is all that matters to be a warrior. The Embryon Tribe have no issues with naked women, having witnessed Sera's arrival in that state, and likely dressed her up, as well as the wonky way of life back in the Junkyard making concepts such as modesty not something they were familar with, though they were understanding it now. They also see flowers as highly valuable commodities due to the state of the Earth they were at. While it is still the case now in some instances and for some species, they're not nearly as expensive as back there, and there are deities who can grow them in abundance. %% Since entering the Pantheon, they may or may not have attempted to enter Wrestling for a bit, mainly [[[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j9hM7rMI5OM Cielo]], [[https://youtu.be/ZsvUBKlQse4 Argilla]], and [[https://youtu.be/GuWX8gU9LFk Serph]] (in [[https://youtu.be/obhhriJZQW0 human]] and [[https://youtu.be/CTx6J-n2Lcc Atma]] forms). |
| 364 | ** As stated before, everyone in the Embryon Tribe (exc. one) [[spoiler:is based on people in Sera's life. Serph is based on Dr. Serph Sheffield, chief scientist of the Karma Society's God Project, personal caretaker of the Cyber Shaman Sera, and basically responsible for the whole mess due to his manipulativeness and higher ambitions. He always made sure to put up a caring facade in front of Sera, which is why Serph is such a nice guy. Heat is based on Dr. Heat O'Brien, colleague of Dr. Sheffield who disliked his treatment of Sera, but his showing of anger most of the time around her (when he actually cares) means that's what Heat pretty much is. Argilla is based on one of Dr. Sheffield's nurses who tended to Sera. Unbeknownst to the Cyber Shaman, the nurse hated her, and would later be responsible for O'Brien's death by shooting him when he threatened Sheffield with a gun. Cielo is based on a previous (young) Cyber Shaman candidate before Sera who ended up dying from the experiments. As for Gale, he's based on Dr. David Gale, who was all but engaged to Sera's parent Jenna Angel, and it's his death that made her who she is by the time the Embryon Tribe faced her]]. |
| 365 | ** Despite how vastly different they are, the Embryon Tribe find themselves having common ground with the ascended Persona-users. Cannibalism aside (which was almost a turnoff for most of the casts), they still have friendship and comradery as a core part of their stories. Sera seems to bond most with Maya Amano given [[{{Expy}} just how similar they are]]. Both of them are cheerful and optimistic gunslingers with unusual appearances for their setting (Maya with her purple eyes, and Sera with black hair in the Junkyard), they occasionally become DamselsInDistress, their element is ice, and both of them end up [[spoiler:indirectly bringing the end of their respective worlds]] as well ad [[spoiler:eventually reincarnate in the new world they help create]]. |
| 366 | ** It didn't help that she was under the stress of the chaos of battle that time, but when the Embryon Tribe took down some enemies and… started doing what they usually do after that, [[Pantheon/CrossoversAndReferences Littlepip]] instantly went into a panic and attacked them. While nowhere near their power level even with her own accomplishments, the Tuners had trouble taking her down without killing her. While Heat held back less than the others, it only resulted in drawing more aggro from the unicorn and even [[spoiler:getting lacerated with BloodMagic]]. It took enduring her blows and bullets until she overtaxed her magic and rendered herself helpless before Argilla, Cielo, and Sera felt it safe to revert to humans and try to calm her down. After hearing Littlepip's reasons for her stance against cannibals [[spoiler:due to the Arbu incident]], she was given a on explanation that Tuners ''required'' eating living flesh to avoid turning insane, basically a price for their power. While not enemies anymore, the unicorn can't tolerate them any more than is necessary due to her trauma. |
| 367 | |
| 368 | * Exclusive to Serph: |
| 369 | ** While the Tribe would find Zanza's action as the "God" of his world to be terrible, [[spoiler:Serph realized how similar he is to his "template", Serph Sheffield, an egomaniacal scientist who wanted the power of God and whose actions led to the crisis that hit their world]], and this has more reason than anyone else to oppose him. |
| 370 | |
| 371 | * Exclusive to Heat: |
| 372 | ** Due to his demeanor and attitude, some allies get wary around Heat in his Atma Avatar form lest he try to take a bite out of them, though not usually when Serph or Sera are there too. For reasons, some people who are terrified of Alucard express terror when they hear Heat speak up (without seeing Heat) about wanting to devour someone, [[Creator/CrispinFreeman mistaking him for that vampire]]. Word eventually reached that vampire, and he does find it curious that there was someone who sounds just like him who has embraced eating people. |
| 373 | ** Given their philosophies, Hear got a rival in the half-demon Virgil, who thinks consuming enemies is a disgusting practice. Heat retorts that trying to unseal and then raise hell isn’t any better. |
| 374 | |
| 375 | * Exclusive to Argilla: |
| 376 | ** Makes a good "Sera" from a distance when disguised properly. As for why she had needed one in the first place, it was to lure some rival tribe that wanted her. It wasn't that Argilla was the only other female in Embryon (there are likely some generics), but it was likely that no other female would've been able to survive luring the psychotic Bat to them, and Argilla had a personal score to settle with him. |
| 377 | ** Enjoyed the company of another sniper by the name of Sharla. Both also happen to be primary healers in their teams, and serve a motherly role especially towards Sera and Juju respectively. [[spoiler:This is more significant for Argilla, since the nurse she was based on actually ''loathed'' Sera.]] Her cannibalism notwithstanding, she and Sharla actually get along well. |
| 378 | |
| 379 | * Exclusive to Gale: |
| 380 | ** Prior to leaving the Junkyard behind, Gale had the rank of "bishop" in the Embryon Tribe. Junkyard bishops are the tactical heads of each Tribe, and are stuffed full of implants that allow them to record events and play them back (at one point, Gale plugs a cable into his head behind his ear and allows the team to see [from a displaying device] his perspective on the events that gave everyone demon powers and brought Sera to them), as well as analyze and process the best possible outcome for every event. His hood isn't just for show either, as it's loaded with surveillance gear that feeds into his ocular implants, and a socket for that cable. In the Pantheon, this hardware had to be (re)invented from scratch for his needs, not to mention also having to be made compatible with the other technologies here. Thankfully, Gale knows how they're made, so recreating them was a cinch. |
| 381 | |
| 382 | %% [[green:(Speaking of Gale, he has a lot going on, as the text repeatedly refers to him as the 'bishop'. At first, I thought this was just a reference to how stoic and aloof he was, but no, it's actually a tribal rank of sorts. Bishops are the tactical heads of each tribe. They're stuffed full of implants that allow them to record events and play them back (at one point, Gale plugs a cable into his head behind his ear and allows the team to see his perspective on the events at the start of the game), as well as analyse and process the best possible outcome for every event. His hood isn't just for show either, as it's loaded with surveillance gear that feeds into his ocular implants (basically an internal version of the eyepiece Serph and Argilla use in the intro).)]] |
| 383 | ** Whenever he doesn't understand something, if he's not deciding to just feel it, Gale would say "I do not comprehend." And it gets amusing or irritating whenever someone parrots that catchphrase, chortles at it, or otherwise directly remarks on it. While a logician most of the time, he's also inherited a strong sense of honor, and takes the concept very seriously. This eventually led to an interaction with [[Pantheon/BetrayalMotivation Zuko]], who had been largely motivated by restoring his honor for much of [[Pantheon/{{Nature}} Aang's]] journey. Through him, Gale learned more about how honor affects people differently, [[HonorBeforeReason even overriding logic]] at times. |
| 384 | |
| 385 | * Exclusive to Cielo: |
| 386 | ** Cielo's Atma Avatar is a special case from everyone else's. Apart from being able to fly really fast, enough to get into a decent dogfight with fighter jets, he has a weakness to all status ailments (but not [[TakenForGranite pretrification]] and OneHitKill moves, and then downplayed to just Nerve ailments he's weak to). He can carry up to three human adults on his back over an extended but not overly long distance. He did complain of their weight afterwards, so this is probably not an optimal means of transport, though it helped with escaping a ship they rigged with bombs (ItMakesSenseInContext). |
| 387 | |
| 388 | * Exclusive to Sera: |
| 389 | ** If an Atma Avatar goes out of control by way of Hunger, Sera has a Song of Grace that can reverse its effects if they haven't succumbed completely. Of course, this option won't be possible if it's Sera herself suffering Hunger. She would later meet a blue-haired woman named Azura, who has a song can do something similar to that effect. While it umtimately did nothing, the two did exchange songs on a lark. |
| 390 | ** Is basically [[spoiler:a seven-year-old at heart, due to her body having undergone accelerated aging/genetic shenanigans as the Cyber Shaman]]. This makes what Heat did to her way back when (a forceful kiss) much creepier, and Chris Hansen gave him (and Serph) a severe warning, even if none of them are technically over 12. Because of years of experimentation, she could barely survive the Pantheon without the fluids from the EGG where she was used for communicating with Brahman. Fortunately, the House of Pantheon/HealthAndDiseases have made many treatments and therapies to remedy that. |
| 391 | ** She was a youth who had an adult who acted kindly to her, manipulating her feelings and promising her treats in exchange for favors. She had thought that she and the adult loved each other, while the adult's co-worker watched the almost-flirting with disgust. [[spoiler:While Dr. Sheffield was certainly abusing Sera's powers, there are those who also interpret his actions as molestation, and she was very quickly educated on what exactly that entailed.]] As such, she's earned condolences from [[Pantheon/LoveInterests Casca]], [[Pantheon/RevengeAndRetribution Sakura Matou]], [[Pantheon/TortureAndMutilation Ellen of the Five Survivors]] and [[Pantheon/TaintedLove Tess Durbeyfield]], and really dislikes Griffith, Shinji Matou, and Ethan Roark Junior. |
| 392 | |
| 393 | * Exclusive to Roland: |
| 394 | ** Roland is the leader of Lokapala, one of the last resistance groups against the Karma Society. He inherited it and guardianship over Fred after he fled a mission gone wrong and abandoned the original leader Greg (Fred's father), resulting in the other man's death. A classically trained author, he fell into despair and became an alcoholic following the death of his friend, and unconvinced in his own ability to lead the Lokapala. But after meeting the Embryon, he sobered up and injected himself with the demon virus at Fred's prompting, gaining the "Lightning Bolt" Atma that allows him to transform into Indra. With it, he regained his courage to fight and help avenge his fallen comrades. |
| 395 | ** With the use of interpretation of what constitutes as Data, [[https://youtu.be/wK9NNMuUgjw?si=eF2eeca7kZKnUzFF Roland is able to power things with electricity and use his will to command consoles]]. This only works because of his cognition and from everything he knows of his world. This talent cannot be replicated by just any other electric-user, and those that do won't be doing it the same way as Roland does. |

| 418 | * Goliath ascended on the wrong side of angry. In just a few days, [[ButtMonkey he somehow managed to provoke, intrude upon the territory of, and attract all sorts of hunters within the Pantheon]]. [[PoorCommunicationKills A number of these misunderstandings might've been avoided had more gods known of Goliath's ascension]], [[GiantSpaceFleaFromNowhere but few gods knew where he even came from, let alone his ascendance]]. Needless to say, it left him with a grudge toward the whole lot of them. |
| 419 | ** Following his ascension, Goliath unknowingly stumbled into the Monster Hunters' territory and interrupted an ongoing hunt. Figuring Goliath to be a new monster and acquainted with missions where unforeseen monsters just popped up without warning, the Hunters fought Goliath. The fight was quick and brutal, and the Hunters were forced to retreat after using up what remained of their supplies. They learned of Goliath's ascension into the Pantheon soon after and have kept their distance, though rumors circulate of the Hunters preparing fire-resistant gear in case Goliath gets out of hand. |
| 420 | ** Goliath first encountered Saxton Hale whilst prowling through a jungle. The lone unarmed man hardly seemed a threat, yet the brawny Australian proved himself [[CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass stronger than expected]]. It was a rather sobering encounter for Goliath and taught him not to underestimate his new divine peers, regardless of their appearance. |
| 421 | ** Dovahkiin assumed he was a dragon after hearing tales of a new fire-breathing beast, The Hunter fended him off when he tried exploring a cityscape, Teams WebAnimation/{{RWBY}} and JNPR learned quickly enough that he wasn't a creature of Grimm, and Ash Ketchum thought he was a [[{{Mon}} Pokemon]]. That last one especially ticked Goliath off; he nearly brutalized Ash. |
| 422 | ** Of course, this particular action backfired on the Goliath, earning him the enmity of ''almost every single Pokémon in the Pantheon''. The Goliath had badly underestimated Ash's connection to Pokémon, and because of his attack on Ash, they would be gunning for his head from now on. If there's one Pokémon Goliath will admit to fearing, however, is the almighty Arceus. The Alpha Pokémon did not take it kindly on the Goliath had attacked a human he was fond of and promised to destroy Goliath for this foul deed. |
| 423 | * Shares a sort of kinship with the Indominus Rex. He recognizes a part of himself in her ferocity and hatred for humans, and views her as an equal predator, despite his capability to surpass her. And if the theory of Goliath and his fellow monsters on Shear are genetically-engineered weapons, he and ''Indominus'' would share similar origins. |
| 424 | * Goliath loathes admitting that there are [[AlwaysABiggerFish monsters that utterly outmatch him]], but his opinion of [[Pantheon/BeastOther Godzilla]] is a special case. As the original [[{{Kaiju}} giant monster]] (and being far, far bigger), Godzilla is something of an idol to Goliath. Goliath [[BrokenPedestal resents him]] for sparing or even saving humanity so many times, yet holds him up as a standard too when it comes to destructive rampages. |
| 425 | * Abathur has expressed ''interest'' in Goliath. |
| 426 | -->'''Abathur:''' Goliath intriguing. Ability reminiscent of Primal Zerg. Must acquire biomass. |
| 427 | ** [[Pantheon/TacticsAndStrategies Zagara]] has an even bigger plan for the beast, citing to have huge similarities with the Primal Zerg Dehaka. She has been scheduling a test for him as an antithesis for the said Zerg if it ascends. |
| 428 | * Since getting on the Monster Hunters' blacklist, Goliath has crossed paths with their typical quarries. Goliath feels no camaraderie with them, but he sees no point in not taking advantage of their presence and tag-teaming the Hunters if the opportunity arises... [[BigEater Deviljho]] is a special case though. Of all the monsters, only Deviljho's appetite matches Goliath's own. Naturally, that leaves little meat to go around, and neither of them like the taste of that notion. |
| 429 | * [[Pantheon/BeastsAndFauna Rexxar]] attempted to tame Goliath once he caught wind of him, but Goliath reacted violently on account of his willful intelligence and hatred of beings that look remotely human. |
| 430 | * Learned soon after his ascension that [[Pantheon/LivingObjects another creature]] in the Pantheon bears his name. When he first investigated this creature's supposed lair, he slaughtered the Stormtroopers stationed there yet the creature was nowhere to be seen. But as the sun crept beneath the horizon, Goliath heard a crackling of stone and was abruptly tackled by a new assailant: the creature. The battle was an even one until a response force arrived and forced Goliath to flee. Humiliated, Goliath only grew more agitated when he learned this other Goliath protected humans. |
| 431 | * Research by the House of Knowledge has turned up some rather disturbing information, primarily that the Goliath is not this creature's true form but a physical body created in order to interact with a material universe. If it is ever harmed to the point of death, the being will merely release the body and reform within a day. To make this worse, the being is not limited to the form of the Goliath but can become any of the other varieties of monster its species has created. In response to this discovery, a No-Kill order was issued on the Goliath, reasoning that a Goliath constantly increasing in power is better than giving the entity a chance to assume a new and potentially more dangerous form. |

| 449 | * Source of Interest for: [[Pantheon/TimePlacement The Think Tank]], The Pantheon/GrandUnitedAllianceOfMachines |
| 450 | * Megamix is something that shouldn't exist in the first place, being the amalgamation of Dr. Cortex and a few of his henchmen into one. The hideous creature formed after Cortex's Planetary Minimizer malfunctioned and hit them instead, the creature then chased Crash Bandicoot throught the whole space station but Crash managed to escape the monster and soon it returned to normal. While that was the last time Megamix was ever heard from, the arrival of the Rustland Grand Pix brought them back to the spotlight, this time with their own separate origin story and somehow, that Megamix ended up becoming a deity given their particular [[LegoBodyParts appearance being an amalgamation of the four villains]] |
| 451 | * You may be wondering, how is Megamix able to exist when his components are all separated to begin with. Turns out this Megamix comes from a timeline where the world succumbed to a nuclear devastation and ultimately created Megamix. This screamed bad news for the Bandicoots, as not only the creature held a grudge against Crash even if he never was responsible for the creation of that Megamix, but the monster even ended up siding with Cortex and Uka Uka. |
| 452 | * Naturally, this version of Megamix is very adept to racing and often engages in races, particularly the go-kart ones. Their temple is even an amalgamation (no pun intended) of both Megamix Mania and the Space Station where they were originally created. Given the DesertPunk aesthetic and Megamix being a NuclearMutant type monster, they eventually developed an emnity with both Max Rockatansky and Imperator Furiosa, feeling like Megamix was a dangerous monster to let loose. |
| 453 | * Constantly suffers from SplitPersonality Disorder as the mind of all four villains are all concious and want to take control all the time, which manifest in a slight shock everytime a different personality takes control. It all gets even more confusing when you take into account that every single of their components are deities, who are understandably creeped out by Megamix loose nature. This eventually made the creature a bit of an odd rival to Dr. Jekyll, known for engaging in his darker desires when asuming his other identity but even Hyde is a bit horrified at the sight of Megamix. |
| 454 | * Given their potential ties to nuclear waste, it was only natural that Megamix and Toxie would come to blows as the latter while a bit of hideous monster himself, he is a good guy nonetheless. Even with the combined strength of two of Cortex's best creations, Toxie was able to subdue and almost kill the abomination before Megamix ran away crying. Since then they have been planning to get revenge somehow. |
| 455 | * A creature like Megamix wouldn't feel too out of place in the universe of ''Franchise/{{Fallout}}''. In fact, given their status as a mutant monster, Megamix has unfortunately become the target for extermination by various of the deities hailing from said world with the Enclave and Arthur Maxson at the top of the list. Not all of them want they dead however, the Think Tank was fascinated that Megamix was able to remain mostly with some semblance of sanity and cohesion and even if two of their components were scientist themselves, they are eager to study Megamix and further learn from its biology (Which they are understandably not very happy about). |
| 456 | * By far the one scientist that flipped out the moment they saw Megamix was Dr. Alphys. Understandable, [[spoiler:considering her hand in the creation of the Amalgamations]] and seeing the monster was only a reminder of her failures. However, she knows that the monster is formed by villainous folks and said people being deities in their own right just makes it easier for Alphys to not pity the monster. |
| 457 | * Sadly for Megamix, they are not the type to make many friends as many are repelled by their appearance and mannerism. However, being an offshoot of another person (or people rather in Megamix case) made them form a rather strange friendship with Bizarro of all people, who expressed some form of appreciation (in his own Bizarro way) |
| 458 | * Described as "Frankenstein's Monster if the doctor would have becomed part of his creation" and the good doctor himself is abhorred at the creature that is Megamix and wishes he would never become such a beast. His creation similarly feels both disgust and pity since it knows at least some of the ones involved in the creation of Megamix are in a similar situation as he was, [[AndIMustScream perhaps both]] but neither the Monster nor Megamix dwells too much on it. |
| 459 | * He is considered part-cyborg but hardly cares about anything mechanical. However, it was later discovered that there is a robotic replica of Megamix in the Rustland timeline and after hearing this, several of the deities from the GUAM took immediate interest since it's said to have the same properties but could potentially be easier to control with the proper reprogramming. Some have gone even as far to attempt capturing Megamix and turning him into a fully-mechanical beast using N. Gin's parts as a base. |

| 479 | * When the Grineer stormed the Pantheon, they attempted to storm the House of Nature, using Cicero toxin to clear the plants and wildlife to make settlements. A large army sized group of Tenno operators followed the Grineer into the Pantheon where they assisted the House of Nature in the defense, cutting down several armies of the clones. The remaining Grineer fled so they can create more soldiers to fill back the ranks. The House of Nature were forever in gratitude, and the Tenno felt welcomed there, especially since many of their Warframes have nature themed powers. |
| 480 | * The Tenno are a group of ancient warriors that were created to combat the Sentients that invaded the system. After the fall of the Orokin empire, the Tenno were put in statis for several centuries. When they woke up, they found themselves in a war-ravaged Solar System with the [[ANaziByAnyOtherName Fascist Grineer]] and the [[ProudMerchantRace Profit-Seeking Corpus]] fighting over the remains of civilization along with the Infested trying to kill everything. With guide from the mysterious Lotus, who communicates to each single Tenno, the set to free the System and protect the people living in the system. |
| 481 | * Each Tenno controls a powerful suit of armor called the Warframe. There are many different types of warframes, each with different powers and different combat styles for each tactic. |
| 482 | * The Tenno, in reality [[spoiler: are young adolescents who were the sole survivors of the Zariman Ten-Zero incident, where a colony ship was trapped in the Void and eventually reemerged, with the kids receiving Void powers. After the Orokin experimented on the scared children, causing several deaths, an Orokin researcher named Margulis found that they could channel their newfound powers through dreams and became a surrogate mother for them. The Orokin murdered her, stole her works and used it to create the process of Transference, where the child could channel their consciousness and powers through a Warframe, a surrogate body using a device called the Somatic Link. The newly named Tenno were placed on Earth's moon where they were secure]]. |
| 483 | * Shortly after ascension, one of the Warframes, Excalibur, happened across Genji. Seeing how alike Excalibur was with Genji, both being cybernetic ninjas with similar fighting styles, they managed to befriend each other. The Tenno also managed to ally with the rest of Overwatch. |
| 484 | * Their official temple is a large space structure known as a Relay. The Tenno dont usually hang out at the Relay, preferring to stay in their personal Orbiter spacecraft which flies around the Pantheon, which they have all their belongings and serves as their mobile base. However, when they need to gather, the Relay is a good meeting place. |
| 485 | ** The Tenno can commonly be found honing their skills in the House of Combat, testing their equipment out or launching raids on the Grineer. Sometimes the Tenno like to heavily customize their frames and appear at fashion shows in the House of Costumes. |
| 486 | * The Tenno find themselves frequently fighting the Flood, who are very similar to the Infested they fight and their history also remind them of the [[AbusivePrecursors abusive Orokin]]. For that, the Tenno manages to ally with Master Chief John-117 to stop the Flood. The Tenno also oppose the Xel'naga Amon, who abused his creations like the Orokin did. |
| 487 | * When The Guardians finally ascended into the Pantheon, The Tenno and the Guardians had a tense first meeting due to their games being dueling rivals and how they were so similar. Before events managed to oscillate, both sides shared some sort of truce and became allies. Despite their alliance and working together, it didn't stop them from trying to one up each other or boasting about themselves to each other. |
| 488 | * When they came across the House of War, they met Sergeant Sosuke Sagara, who was also thrown into combat at a young age like them. The Tenno felt sympathetic towards him. |
| 489 | * All Fascist gods in the pantheon like the Red Skull and Deathshead Strauss have been declared enemies of the Tenno for being predecessors to the Grineer. All Nazis have been declared enemies of the Tenno and thus the Tenno hunt down them all alongside the Grineer. They managed to come across Nazi hunter BJ Blazkowitz in one of their Grineer hunting missions and became allies. They also oppose Sundowner who bears similarities to the Corpus in their home setting, with the profiteering from war, and his usage of child soldiers. |
| 490 | * Despite being on the side of good, they sometimes do mercenary work for the other pantheon factions, including even NGO Superpowers like [[Pantheon/CommercialArchetypes Jonathon Irons']] [[NGOSuperpower ATLAS Corpration]], so they get paid with upgrades to their arsenal. Not that they support their goals or want to join them. They, however, refuse to work with their enemies the GUAE and the GUAD. |
| 491 | * From the reveal in the Sacrifice, the Tenno formed a kinship with both Jack Ryan and Subject Delta, more pronounced with Excalibur Umbra. [[spoiler: Umbra's nightmares of killing his son by the control of Ballas left him in constant mental anguish and driven to exact revenge on Ballas to no avail. Until the Operator reached out to help him overcome the pain and RestrainingBolt. Jack knows well on being conditioned to be without free will and Delta having his daughter taken away and used for another's ulterior motives. Both gladly support the Tenno in their continued efforts and help relate through the psychological struggles they go though]]. |
| 492 | * They are also commonly found in the House of Pantheon/InternalPowerSources. Their affinity to [[HyperspaceIsAScaryPlace the Void]] is something to behold there. |
| 493 | * At one point, reports rolled in of what appeared to be adult versions of known Tenno appearing. When pressed, it was revealed that they were known as the Drifters, a version of the Tenno from a different timeline, |

| 536 | * Desmond has actually been in the Pantheon for a long while now, but only as a follower of Ezio [[spoiler:after he [[VideoGame/AssassinsCreedIII shed his mortal coil in December 21, 2012]] in his world]]. Having already worked with ascending the Frye twins, the ''Il Mentore'' decided it was time to grant him a position as a deity as well and found [[Pantheon/RegionalNationalities two titles]] for the taking. |
| 537 | ** The first is GeneticMemory, as it's the FramingDevice for the first five "games", and exploring those memories is why Desmond got involved in the first place. |
| 538 | ** The second is InsanelyInternationalAncestry, as his genetics connect him to several different nationalities, like Arab (Altair), Italian (Ezio), Native American (Ratonhnhaké:ton/Connor), and Welsh (Edward, Connor's grandfather). |
| 539 | *** And according to [[https://b-i.forbesimg.com/insertcoin/files/2013/11/ac2.jpg a certain e-mail]], other known ancestors include a Sage who lived in the Hunnic Empire at the height its power in the 5th century, and the Gallo-Roman Assassins Lucius and his son Aquilus, who lived in Roman Gaul in mid-3rd century. |
| 540 | * Sometimes, when he isn't doing Asssassin work, he spends his free time helping as a bartender, having experience with that career. His specialty drink is the "Shirley Templar", a [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shirley_Temple_(cocktail) Shirley Temple cocktail]] with gin. |
| 541 | ** While he does visit other bars (like [[Pantheon/ChefsAndEstablishments Moe's Tavern]]) for this, he more often than not moonlights inside King's bar/temple as a bartender. Turns out that his Shirley Templar drink is pretty popular. That and King swap drink recipes. |
| 542 | * Unlike the rest of the Assassins, Desmond doesn't have (as much) contempt for Shay. The reason why is because what he discovered while he and his father's cell parsed through [[VideoGame/AssassinsCreedIII Ratonhnhaké:ton's]] memories; one of Those Who Came Before, Juno, has plans to conquer the world. He believed that in order to stop her, it would take both the Assassins ''and'' Templars working together to do so. |
| 543 | ** While it's too late for him to change things in his world [[spoiler:as he's dead there and all]], he thinks there's still a chance for such a unity in the Pantheon. Of course, he's not naive to think that it would be easy, but he thinks it's worth trying. And try he will. |
| 544 | ** Speaking of Juno, the events just prior to [[spoiler:his death]] also made him worry. [[spoiler:Minerva's alternative to setting Juno free…soured his opinions on being worshipped]]. |
| 545 | * Like with all Assassins, the [[Pantheon/{{Thieves}} Phantom Thieves of Hearts]] disallow him from going into the Metaverse with them. While the others have decided to back away, being from roughly the same time period, Desmond decided to press the issue with [[Pantheon/{{Thieves}} its leader Ren]] in regards to them (or at least him) joining a Heist. He knows two of their members have lost family because of this, but that (and fear of this happening again) certainly can't be the end-all reason for barring access. Joker's counter-response is that as Assassins, it would be difficult not to… [[DeadlyEuphemism answer their calling]] when their target's Shadow has been sufficiently subdued and ready for a change of heart, a practice that Desmond… can't say is wrong given he's an ''Assassin''. That, and the Phantoms' reputation took a nosedive last time that happened. However, Desmond counters that statement with the Phantoms' stance against Shadows (which in fact, some of them take glee in, such as Haru). Besides, being the ones in charge, the Phantoms should be able to assert their authority in this matter, and as long as the Assassins can follow them, then they should be a great asset in Palace Heists. |
| 546 | *** That said, another reason Desmond has been appealing to them is because he has a target in mind for this; Shay Patrick Cormac. He hopes to influence the ex-assassin into being more negotiable with him and forge an alliance, and given that they've managed to change Sae Niijima's heart without stealing her Treasure, he knows this is possible. |
| 547 | * Like all of the Assassins, he thinks Night Raid's actions are [[{{Understatement}} a tad excessive]], and he also thinks Seryu and Esdeath provide no benefit whatsoever to humanity. As for Honest… well, let's just say Desmond thinks he's exactly the kind of foe Assassins and Shay can consider [[EnemyMine working together to beat]]. |
| 548 | * Made friends with Miharu, who also tried to run from his calling but get dragged in anyways. The Assassin's trying to get him to open up, who refused, yet this does not deter him. |
| 549 | * He's noted that the Joestar family's ancestry are also insanely international, though he's more baffled about [[TangledFamilyTree their mixed up familial roles]]. |

| 567 | * One of the various denizens of the Forgotten Land, Elfilin is one of the many, ''many'' allies Kirby found himself making over the years, venturing through the remains of a one-strong society alongside the pink puffball. However, compared to the various comrades Kirby has joined forces with over the years, his connection to his game's main threat is far more personal: not only is his being directly tied to it, but he ''is'' the very force controlling the Beast Pack from the shadows. After Fecto Elfilis' rampage on Earth and subsequent capture, the residents of the Forgotten Land saught to utilize its abilities for their own benefit, dreaming of the day they could use their newfound powers to explore the cosmos. However, thirty years after their research on its spatial abilities began, an accident within Lab Discovera resulted in the two beings splitting apart, with Elfilin gaining the less murder-y traits Elfils (now Fecto Forgo) had. Eventually escaping from its birthplace to explore the world, Elfilin remained a wanderer of the expanse even after its original inhabitants ferried themselves into history, eventually becoming close to the remaining animals who overtook civilization. This peace would change, however, with the rise of the Beast Pack, their psychically-induced violence forcing Elfilin into hiding from his other half's wrath. |
| 568 | ** As Fecto Forgo's powers grew less and less stable, Kirby and their allies became one of the first beings in a long time to happen upon the remnants of the once-developed world. Determined to protect the strange beings he later knew as Waddle Dee's, his attempts to aid in their fight resulted in them being briefly captured. After being saved by the questing puffball, Elfilin made fast friends with Kirby over a shared desire to thwart the rash of dee-napping, deciding to journey alongside them to aid in the species' plight. While he isn't much of a combatant, the noble being proved to be a valuable ally to Kirby regardless, offering advice to the questing blob and happily joining in any r&r he may want to do. As their adventure continued, however, Elfilin's role would begin to become known after he was captured by King Dedede (having, unsurprisingly, fallen under Forgo's control), forcing Kirby to journey to Lab Discovera to rescue them. Learning of their greater connection with the Forgotten Land though the discoveries Leongar imparted, Kirby became well-equipped to handle Elfilis' wicked half even after it assimilated Elfilin to regain its full strength. Helping give Pop Star the last push it needed to overcome Elfilis and seal the wormhole it summoned, Elfilin's sacrifice would be rewarded by grander travels with Kirby after Clawroline helped return them to full health. After aiding in a now-benevolent Leongar's revival through repairing his soul across Forgo's memories, Elfilin's devotion would be tested after his other half returned as Chaos Elfilis, more intent than ever to see the realms the heroes hail from be shattered before it. After a long, grueling encounter, Elfilin would manage to reduce Forgo to its purest form, with the merging of their souls, this time, being done on affable terms. With the gateway to the Forgotten Land now being permanently open for Kirby and his allies, Elfilin now operates proudly as his homeworld's greatest heroes, doing whatever he can to ensure peace and prosperity reigns in his brave new world. |
| 569 | * It was a normal day in the pantheon. The sun was shining above a sky dotted with light clouds, birds chirped their beautiful melodies as they soared through the sky, plants below the divines' feet continued to grow in silence glory... and the gods were dealing with a villainous figure amongst them going on a rampage. Empowered by the machinations of the GUAE, Fecto Forgo was temporarily restored to its full might in order to further the organization's needs: causing destruction and mayhem for the sake of terrorizing the pantheon. As the creature effortlessly defeated many of the pantheon's guardians as it laid waste to its surroundings, many gods feared that Elfilis' havoc was unstoppable in this higher form, knowing all too well the extreme power it possessed. As it continued to raze its surroundings, however, Elfilis suddenly stopped as a strange feeling over took it. As far as it knew, Elfilis was so far the only being of its species to exist in the pantheon, with the GUAE merely doing the dirty work of catching Elfilin for them to achieve their might. But, if they were supposedly allowed to reach their higher form, why did he feel as is as if his very being lies in sync with another? It was then Elfilis realized that it wasn't alone, instead being watched by someone all too familiar to their very being. Diving to the floor with a shriek in a murderous lust, Elfilis was intent on finding this unwelcome witness in order to drive them out... only to plunge straight into a wormhole. Hitting the ground with a great clammer, Elfilis stood itself up as it tried to make sense of where it was flung to, although when it tried to gaze into the open sky, its eyes were quickly obscured by a flurry of orange and white crashing on top of them. Having dedicated Elfilis' rampage of being particular concern, Kirby quietly snuck out of the pantheon in order to bring the one person he knew was capable of intercepting them, Elfilin not wasting a moment towards the prospect of helping his friend. As Kirby continued to use the resulting rubble to pin Elfilis down, Elfilin acted quickly on redirecting the active heroes by warping them towards their ambush. Impressed with their strategy following Forgo's reimprisonment, the gods honored Elfilin's herosim with a seat in the pantheon. |
| 570 | * Unsurprisingly, the gods most pleased with Elfilin's ascension happened to be from the same series be hailed from. While he was beaten to the punch to have it as his own for quite some time, Elfilin is frequently seen within the confines of the Waddle Dees' temple, Waddle Dee Town. While it's amenities isn't exactly a theme-park-level attraction, the familiar sites and sounds are enough to draw Elfilin in again and again. Even if none of its sights are particularly interesting to Elfilin on a given day, they regardless like to stop by and check on the daily ins and outs of the Waddle Dees managing the space, just to see how they are doing. More intriguing to Elfilin, however, was the chance to see of his comrades' domains in their fill glory, namely those belonging to Bandana Dee, Meta Knight, and King Dedede. Having only seen their presence while within the Forgotten Land, the site of Dedede's castle and Meta Knight's Halberd was enough to immediately strike awe into Elfilin's face, surprised with just how extravagant his comrades are with things. While this was all things Elfilin reasonably expected upon their arrival, what caught them more off guard was the sheer number of previous allies Kirby had wandering the pantheon's domain, their eternally forgiving nature allowing for the puffball to amass a small army's worth of allies to give aid at any given time. While Elfilin originally had some trouble assimilating into their ranks fully, getting experienced with some of Kirby's other far-flung allies helped the being formally submit himself into Kirby's collection of confidants. |
| 571 | * Opposite halves of the same whole. While Elfilin represents all the goodness and heart Elfilis could've had during its optimal state, Forgo is merely a stand-in for the burning hate he has towards all life. Any attempt the redeem Forgo, then, would be a pointless endeavor, its singular devotion rendering it completely disinterested in redemption. Having known this for some time, Elfilin is deeply disappointed that its ascension did nothing to quell Forgo's wickedness, with its fully-formed soul having solely negative intentions towards all life. However, instead of trying to fight against the natural ways of his separation, Elfilin instead looked to other gods to be more equipped to understand the nature of Forgo's existence. |
| 572 | ** As Elfilin flew along the dusty towers of the pantheon's great buildings one day, he happened upon a small, cat-like creature bounding itself through the rooftops. Following after it at first out of curiosity, Elfilin caught a glimpse of a creature similar in design to it, having the time of its life by simply zipping across the skyline. What first started as a possible interview for Mew's background ended in the two having the time of their lives, playing with the world around them as they flew among the clouds. Even though Mew didn't turn out to be the talking piece Elfilin desired, they left their first encounter with Mew with the greatest answer they never thought they needed: who cares? As long as someone enjoys life at its most basic level, the matter of their creation and associates is completely irrelevant. The only thing that should be valued in life is the potential one has to make positive connections, and as for its impact on a worried Elfilin, a newly found friend is worth far more than anything he could dream of unconvering. |
| 573 | *** After learning about Mew properly from personal research, Elfilin's interest was peaked upon finding out Mew was not alone in terms of Pokémon like it. In a story all too familiar to the flying rodent, Mewtwo was a being constructed solely to fulfill mankind's desires, namely: to aid Team Rocket's goals of world domination. However, while the organization's scientists managed to get most of the details right with cloning Mew, Mew's love for the world was unable to be replicated, being replaced with a stoic distrust towards its creators. Seeking Mewtwo out in the hopes of discussing their reasons of holding onto such a grudge (this time making sure that his subject can actually respond to his questions), Elfilin's search resulted in them finding the 'mon within the corridors of its temple, deep in thought. The moody loner they are, Mewtwo was already put off by the way his visitor suddenly barged into their temple. Not helping the situation was the fact the strange, flying creature was also talkative in nature, insistently trying to drain his knowledge from them for some unknown purpose. After being bombarded with questions en masse from the being, Mewtwo was forced to give a firm, telepathic command to tell them shut up and go home. However, this attempt to silence Elfilin's yapping backfired spectacularly when Elfilin thought he merely needed cheering up, its foul mood being the result of its generally unhappy past. As such, Elfilin has made it his mission to help the cloned 'mon loosen its spirits and learn to enjoy life in the pantheon, hoping that an improved mood would allow them to unload their secrets. Left to be the constant participant in Elfilin's games, Mewtwo would've crushed the rat like a soda can if it wasn't for Kirby's presence rendering it a stupendously bad idea. Not wanting an outraged god slayer to barge into their temple to deliver the mother of all beatdowns, Mewtwo has resigned themselves to be Elfilin's guest of honor during his free time, his face locked in a death-desiring sneer all the way through. At least it serves as an excuse for them to exit their temple every once in a while. |
| 574 | ** Fecto Forgo may not be the most likable soul out there, but calling it a being that completely defies pity would not be telling the truth. Imprisoned for god knows how long within Lab Discovera, Forgo was ultimately reduced to a resource bank after scientists began tinkering with their form, left to sit and mald over the presence of snotty brats visiting them on school trips. Even after the Forgotten Land's residents packed their bags and escaped into the cosmos, Forgo was forced to listen to the same song and dance meant to introduce it for years, being so haunted by the constant noise that the roll call haunts his very dreams. Despite holding little respect for the being in question, the things Forgo went through had caused Elfilin to have a lot of empathy towards those who were similarly mistreated in their past. Thankfully, Elfilin hasn't had to worry about another carbon copy of his arch-nemesis hiding amongst the gods, but the results of what he ''did'' find wasn't much better. Crammed into a research center during crucial periods of their lives, Tetsuo Shima and Lucy only serve to reinforce Elfilin's fears of wanton studying can bring, changing once innocent people to bloodthirsty monsters capable of flattening entire armies. However, the fact the divine realm has done little to tamper with the former's ego and the latter's heritage-driven instability render Elfilin wary of their presence, only watching from afar in vain hope of them one day changing. While it would pain them greatly to formally stop them one day, Elfilin has come to terms with the fact that there may come a time when they go too far in pursuit of meaning in the universe, with them being driven blind by the power they seek. As such, Elfilin has already discussed a contingency plan with Nana in the case of any significant outbursts the diclonius has, in the hopes that being properly treated in a scientific setting would help aid in rehabilitation. |
| 575 | ** With his past absorption of Elfilin doing little to improve Forgo's destructive urges, the existence of gods who fought against their negative aspects has caused Elfilin to regularly seek them out, in the hopes of controlling the soul lingering within. Amongst these dividuals, Elfilin holds the greatest amount of respect to Piccolo Jr. And Yune. Having been spurned from their creator's dark influence, the two have fought against their other halves into becoming powerful defenders of peace. With Elfilin containing some of the ominous elements of his originator even before gaining his soul, Elfilin also values the fact the two became heroes despite their eerie titles (with the former being declared inherently demonic despite his Namekian blood, while the other is a literal GodOfChaos). Regardless of their origins or the time they spent as malicious beings, Elfilin is regardless open to fighting alongside them both as a method of encouragement (namely towards Cassiopea and Android 21, whose struggles against their once-inner darkness being far more defined than most) and as a playmate for any of the more lighthearted halves. |
| 576 | ** While he's only known by this in his greatest form, Fecto Elfilis is presently one of three scientifically-manipulated beings claiming the title of "Ultimate Lifeform". In order to best understand what this obtuse term could mean, Elfilin has sought out similar beings on their quest to see Forgo countered. Among these, Shadow was the easiest for Elfilin to befriend, at least in comparison. While typically aloof and stoic even on the best of days, Elfilin has managed to find modest success trying to befriend the hedgehog. Be this the result of Shadow having a higher tolerance from his experiences with similarly cheery allies or a secret fondness for the critter, Shadow has been surprisingly tolerant of Elfilin's existence, provided he doesn't interfere with any of his more serious duties. While he refutes it to no end, some even spread the rumor that Shadow directly tags along in Elfilin's casual outings, pleased with himself at the simple pleasures Elfilin enjoyers. While his relationship with the first "Ultimate Lifeform" has been largely positive, the same could not be said for the third. As yet another apex assimilator, Elfilin is in some regards even more appalled with Cell's purpose on the world. Not only was the android constructed to destroy and maim to his heart's content, but Cell's remorseless sadism is enough for Elfilin to be immediately against their presence amongst the gods. While nigh-untouchable from Elfilin's perspective, Elfilin hopes that further research from them both could also the gods to have a better idea of what "perfection" means for them... if only to be used to once again reduce Cell into becoming dust on the wind. |
| 577 | ** Elfilin's memory of his days in Lab Discovera may be hazy at best, but he is regardless s figure who owns the entirety of their existence to society's tinkering with the natural world. While they breached containment before their planet's abandonment, Elfilin has regardless remained sympathetic to the cause scientifically-crafted heroes share, standing amongst them someone who desires fairness for those born under similar principles. In fact, Elfilin even has some self-adorned guilt over the excellent condition he has to begin with, knowing that existing in an optimal state is rare amongst his brethren. Among these figures, Silvally has proven itself to be both a source of wonder and pity from Elfilin. Largely created as an attempt to rival [[Pantheon/DivineRoles Arceus]] itself, Elfilin was quickly impressed at the capabilities it has in the art of combat, swapping its type in an instant before attacking with vicious strikes. While Elfilin isn't majorly worried about the 'mon's safety at present, he is still adamant in intercepting the creation of any beings like it, both because of the patchwork needed to create one and the risk of them being reduced to attack dogs at best and macabre ornaments at worst. |
| 578 | *** Similarly, Elfilin is fascinated with humanity's habit of tampering with ordinary people to achieve new heights. While he often finds the methods used to allow for such heroes to exist horrific, even Elfilin is unable to break his gaze towards the hidden potential science tends to unlock in people. While it's unknown if Elfilis' otherworldly might was given to the original denizens of Elfilin's home directly, beings like Eleven tickle Elfilin's fancy towards such a wondrous idea being possible. Having been at first raised in a government laboratory, Eleven's [[ScrewDestiny defiance towards the idea of being a psionic spy]] has been universally praised by Elfilin as a just decision, with the breaking of her shackles assisting the telekinetic to reach both dazzling heights and a humble existence. While his abilities are comparably non-existent compared to the superhuman, Elfilin regardless sees them as inspirational towards his quest to wield the abilities his soul grants, dreaming of the day in which he alone would save the day. |
| 579 | ** Given the fact he is the only thing keeping Fecto Forgo from gaining his true strength, Elfilin is often the target of undesired attention from the pantheon's less-than-moral scientists. Be it solely for the purpose of weaponizing the alien or simply to observe what it would do, the prospect of an active Fecto Elfilis is too great for many researchers to ignore, given the near-limitless power it projects onto all who dare stand before it. While the more moral amongst these figures are contently merely theorizing on Elfilis' full potential, those without such qualms have caused Elfilin to be at an increased risk of falling victim to their schemes, with some going as far as attempting to have it kidnapped and/or combed for genetic material. Not wanting it for their prize to break free of its assimilation, figures like Professor Hojo and Shou Tucker have even gone as far to suggest [[{{Permafusion}} permanently fusing]] the two beings into each other through arcane means, thus enduring their puppet remains whole and hopefully more controllable. Having grown to value the small, overlooked trait of existence, Elfilin has trained its talent of portal creation to at least have a fighting chance when confronted by these vicious figures, even if it's just to allow for a speedy getaway or to summon reinforcements. |
| 580 | * With them being simultaneously biological and man-made, Elfilin's existence has attracted the attention of several organizations with branches in the pantheon. Even if their ranks aren't fully present, the [=MiB=] managed to regardless take hold of the pantheon via their eternal employees of the month: Agents J and K. With the threat Elfilin holds being as minimal as it is, the duo has given Elfilin general clearance to remain in the divine, especially given the fact the realm's residents are less and less surprised by extraterrestrials existing in the shared world by the day. Honored by this, Elfilin has made it a point to pay the two agents back someday for their generosity, even if it's something as simple as fetching the two of them coffee at some point. However, not every agency is as warm and welcoming when it comes to otherworldly forces, as other groups have the opinion that such creatures are too unpredictable to be left out in the open. Infamous for their restrictions upon the beings under their watch, the SCP Foundation's core principles upset Elfilin greatly, both of their cold treatment of the strange and the fear that such treatment could result in even more Fecto Forgos if handled poorly. With their roulette wheel of responses when it comes to overseeing the existence of the paranormal, Elfilin is much too intimidated by their presence to use them either as a resource for questions or to view their docile [=SCPs=], fearing that he may be accidentally labeled as one of their own and sealed away for a very, very long time. |
| 581 | * While Elfilin has yet to sail among the stars, it doesn't change the fact that he is extraterrestrial in origin. Split off from his space-faring counterpart in ages past, the existence of Wondaria Remains has regardless allowed for an idea of space to develop in Elfilin's head. Even if he doesn't know what to expect if the day were to pass, the prospect of seeing what lies beyond the world he knows is an intriguing prospect regardless. Through this shared passion, Elfilin has regularly confided with other pleasant aliens to get their view on space, in order to best equip Elfilin for the task. And with [[Pantheon/{{Extraterrestrials}} an entire house]] dedicated to the existence of alien life, Elfilin has no shortage of figures to talk to on what to expect when traveling across the inky black Elfilis hails from. |
| 582 | ** Amongst these beings, perhaps the greatest bond Elfilin could've formed is with a being who serves as his general opposite. While sharing his past as a former lab rat, Stitch is a far cry from both him or his other half, mostly in part from being woven from the genetic code of the galaxy's foulest creatures. The end result of Jumba's tinkering was the creation of a being of both immense power... and immense chaos. Despite their unpredictable ways and foul vocabulary, Stitch has regardless managed to forge his own destiny as his world's finest protector, with his ultimately virtuous ways catching the interest of Elfilin in particular. Even if Stitch isn't much of a talking peace thanks to his alien lingo, the two beings' boundless appetite for friendship and adventure has allowed the two to form an unexpected friendship with one another, with Elfilin acting as a literal wingman for Stitch whenever he's attempting to adjust himself to the collective civility the gods have forged for themselves. Even if the two can't always agree on certain ideals, Elfilin is regardless happy to act as backup for his ally should he ever get into trouble, with the two taking comfort in protecting the latter in the cases where they are sought after for the purpose of shaping into an ideal weapon. Even when not facing up against their enemies, Elfilin regardless stands up for his chimeric companion whenever his antics inevitably result in shame being thrust upon them, ensuring many that Stitch is totally capable of behaving himself... sometimes. |
| 583 | ** Sadly, a good portion of the house's representatives aren't here to make friends with the local gods. (Not-so-friendly aliens. With Fecto Elfilis being as immediately hostile as it was upon first contact, it is perhaps unsurprising that other aliens seek to use the dormant power within Elfilin for their own gain. While their ranks are ultimately spread between a single mature member and numerous children, there have been lingering fears that the Nostromo Drone could see Elfilin's ventures into the Facehuggers' domain as a direct attack on the lingering hope of establishing a hive. While this would be enough of a concern as is, the greater threat lies within the Facehuggers themselves. While they aren't as imposing, the thought of their kind unlocking untold cosmic power through applying his DNA is enough of a concern to keep careful tabs on Elfilin when venturing into the house, namely to keep the Facehuggers the hell away from infecting Elfilin with their young. A similar sentiment of caution was felt by Elfilin when it came to the proposed of another assimilating alien amongst the gods: the Thing. Arguably even more volatile than Forgo could ever dream of being due to its methods of fusion, Elfilin isn't exactly keen on trying to reason with it, not fancying his chances of getting himself disengaged from the abomination should the worst come to past. Similarly, other gods take extreme precautions to keep it away from beings like Elfilin, fearing that Elfilin would provide the perfect method of spreading its nightmarish plague. |
| 584 | *** However, perhaps the most intriguing and terrible threat Elfilin happened upon does not walk amongst him, but beneath. The foundation that allowed humanity to rise, the entirety of the world owes its status to Lavos, a slumbering alien of calamitous properties. While its crash landing allowed for the people of its world to flourish, Lavos is inevitably fated to awaken from its millennia-long slumber to destroy its world. Given how its nature is an amplified version of the gifts Fecto Elfilis provided, Elfilin looks upon the slumbering beast as an object of macabre fascination. While its existence does give Elfilin a lot of questions on how Elfilis would have reacted if it arrived to the Forgotten Land in an earlier stage of humanity's development, the highly destructive nature of the beast leaves Elfilin more focused on stopping it than trying to act rhetorics. Best not leave an entity that can casually devour space-time around for long, after all. |
| 585 | * In the time between the Forgotten Land's abandonment and the present, nature has flourished in place of organized society. With the structures of yore being left to crumble and sprout plants without anyone to care for them, Elfilin's home is a place dominated by natural beauty, where even the areas touched by humanity are carried with the whimsy nature provides. Even with the Forgotten Land losing one of its permanent residents with Elfilin's ascension, he is regardless stalwart in ensuring that no harm comes to the place he loves. Having grown fond of plains, tropics, and theme parks from their travels, Elfilin has cooperated with beings like Shaymin in order to protect the pantheon's less developed areas, ensuring that there will be always a place for nature to flourish. With memories in their heart of the good old days of when animals lived in peace within the Forgotten Land, Elfilin aids within their efforts by spreading seeds from above, in the hopes that blooming greenery would allow for animal life to thrive within these freshly-formed environments. However, it isn't always an easy task defending the fauna and flora from unforeseen threats, as the beings who actively try to disrupt this peace are often too large to really do anything against. Be it through the raging inferno the Firebird leaves in its flight path, the overwhelming pollution Hexxus spreads like embers from a well-shaken cigar, or Phazon playing the world's most Lovecraftian edition of Conway's Game of Life, there are plenty of nasty threats for Elfilin to be worried about when it comes to nature's survival. At the very least, it is not alone in facing this plight, with Batty Koda agreeing to act as messengers alongside them should these forces ever decide to act up again. |
| 586 | * As a replacement for the presently-absent Leongar, Elfilin has sought out some of the pantheon's own lions in the hopes of finding companions. On his search, perhaps the easiest to get ahold of was that of the Pride Land's premier noble duo, naturally equipped to hear the thoughts and feelings of even the most unconventional of creatures. While the two can often be busy managing their kingdom as one force, the time they have scouring their domains is enough for Elfilin to journey there every once in a while, even for things as simple as checking on the goings-on for the two. Even if much of Elfilin's knowledge of the possibilities beyond their savannah is something the two can't make heads or tails of, they never the less serve as good council for Elfilin's question, with the reigning king's vigor and emotion countered by his father's logic-driven ideals. However, perhaps the most desirable ally amongst these figures comes from an even nobler source of panthera-based power: Aslan. Even with the righteous feline's wise persona, his conditional love for the truest love the meek seek from them has resulted in them becoming both a friend and a teacher to Elfilin on the true meaning of the divine, given the fact Aslan was already a god of fathomless power by the time he made his presence known. While much of his friend's more heavy-handed diatribes often leave them scratching his head on the meaning of things, Elfilin sees Aslan as a valuable anchor who is not afraid to remind them on the greater needs the divine have of heroes, be they all-powerful protectors of realms or those merely capable of opening warp holes from one place to another. |
| 587 | * Generic rodents have it rough. As long as you aren't large or possess intimidating teeth, it's hard for many to take you seriously as some skittering rat-like thing, if they even regard you as an individual at all. While having a slight advantage in account of their airborne method of travel and chinchilla-esqe tail, it doesn't change the fact Elfilin is still quite mouse-like in appearance. This quality, as logic does in world's with sentient animals, has allowed Elfilin to be pitted up against new enemies solely focused on his destruction: the common house cat. Well-known for their love of hunting down innocent rodents to devour, Elfilin is often forced to hide from the less scrupulous cats that prowl amongst the divine halls, as even the smallest of openings could result in a nasty end for the critter. More unfortunately, perhaps one of the most devious of the lot even occupies Elfilin's own hall: Claudandus. A figure hellbent on gaining dominance over the world through his superior genes, Claudandus only regards Elfilin as being marginally better compared to those he seems impure, regarding them as a quick meal at best and an object to torment at worse. While Elfilin has manages to keep any unfortunate encounters at bay with his portals, any attempt to lead them to actual danger could easily be healed by the cat, thus requiring Elfilin to be cautious when flying through his house in the dark. It isn't like the other houses are much better, either, with a trio of Meowth and Dex-Starr all requiring Elfilin to be on his toes when not in the open. While the 'mon triad are content merely heckling Elfilin as part of their mischief, the latter's undying fury is enough for Elfilin to give them a wide berth even on one of his better days. |
| 588 | ** Even if one ignores the sheer amount of cats present amongst the gods, sometimes, the greatest threat to a being can come within. Upon hearing of its capabilities of opening wormholes from place to place, Ratigan sought to use Elfilin's abilities for his personal gain, forcing the creature to provide an easy way to break into vaults and escape from trouble. Masquerading himself as a god who was wounded from a fight with a rival deity, Ratigan met with Elfilin from the shadows, requesting that they being him back to his hall to seek treatment. Doing as such out of the kindness of his heart, the criminal quietly chuckled as he requested Elfilin come back to his temple sometime to receive a reward for his troubles. While Elfilin did see the creature's domain as ominous in nature, he threw aside his concerns to help someone in need, before agreeing to the rodent's request in good faith. As Elfilin returned in the following days, a small gift of dubiously-acquired riches foretold the request for a favor. Seemingly still recovering from the injuries he suffered, Ratigan asked Elfilin to bring him to the Hall of Pantheon/{{Commerce}} to buy some items from their markets. Upon doing as such, Ratigan's greed to skip the end overtook his criminal mind, too amazed at Elfilin's abilities to think straight. Out of arrogantly assuming he would be in the clear, Ratigan grabbed the rat by the tail just as he was about to fly away, demanding he take them to the financial districts of the house to easily steal from them... in full view of a stunned crowd. Realizing his failure, Ratigan dropped Elfilin and made a break for it, leaving Elfilin unharmed but alarmed at how quickly things turned. Not wanting himself to be a victim of this deception again, Elfilin saught the aid of Ratigan's enemies in order to best learn of his tricks. Unsurprised with how fast Ratigan's guise slipped, the two detectives were happy to give the details on their arch-enemy's common tricks, thus allowing Elfilin to be better equipped to respond should the crime lord try to take revenge on his failed pawn. |
| 589 | * With how stubby its limbs are, scuttling across the floor like most rodents would be impossible for Elfilin to do. Ignoring the fact it wouldn't do much in the way of ensuring he would be constantly safe, but his gigantic ears and bipedal frame would only continuously hamper his attempts to use ground-based moment to flee from strong opponents. So what does Elfilin do, in this difficult circumstance? He uses his ears, instead. In a type of behavior not often seen amongst the divine, Elfilin has managed to find a way to use his ears as a makeshift pair of wings, flapping them in a butterfly-like motion in order to ensure his airborne status. While his method of flight isn't death-defying in terms of speed or agility, Elfilin's methods of flight are regardless useful when it comes to moving through the world around them, aided by his small size rendering it easy to slip through small openings. While such is good by itself, the flight capabilities of other gods have left Elfilin feeling lacking, worried that his skills may not be enough to keep pace against the numerous threats the pantheon has to offer. As said, Elfilin has taken habit of trying to replicate the acrobatic techniques Dumbo is capable of ever since he first heard of him, believing that his claim to fame would serve as an excellent muse to help enhance his physical abilities. On his part, Dumbo has no quandaries with his claim to fame being copied by the creature, happy to serve as a model example of breaking limits and using one's own capabilities to obtain prosperity. |

| 609 | * Fears: The House of the Pantheon/UndeadAndPhasmata, [[Pantheon/{{Healers}} Fran Madaraki]] |
| 610 | * SCP-040, also known as Evolution's Child, is an Euclid-class SCP that happens to be an eight year old girl. Though having a sweet personality, she has the somewhat disturbing ability [[{{Biomanipulation}} to manipulate organic matter]], capable of modifying living organisms or creating new life-forms. The result has been classified as instances of SCP-040-1, who show behavior similar to that of a household pet. It requires focus however, or else the results can get...ugly. |
| 611 | * Currently allowed custody of three instances of SCP-040-1. The first being a symbiotic creature capable of shapeshifting and has cat DNA (SCP-040-1a), a spherical being who's capable of replicating musical patterns and floats with helium-filled bladders (SCP-040-1c) and a wall-crawling quadrupedal creature with colorful pink and blue fur (SCP-040-1j). 1c shares a lot in common with Drifblim, and to help her psychological health the SCP Foundation will let the Pokémon play with her and 1c. Given it's said that the Drifloon line kidnaps children they're keeping more of an eye on Drifblim. |
| 612 | * She seems fond of Pokémon in general, given they're known for being exotic and powerful creatures like many of her creations. Due to his compassion towards other Pokemon, N appreciates this and has shown kindness and appreciation towards her creations. [[EveryoneHasStandards Admittedly some of them creep him out a bit]]. She feels bad for Bandit, Tinker and Pirate for the experimentation they went to. Sure, she modifies living beings, but treats the results with kindness and has no interest in weaponizing them. |
| 613 | * Gets along with Reubus Hagrid as well, as the two are fond of some rather bizarre and dangerous creatures. She is fond of playing with the different animals in the House of Pantheon/BeastsAndFauna, and the more good-aligned members of the House of Pantheon/{{Otherness}}. It's given her a lot of ideas for what creatures she could create, though it's advised she keep it in check or her containment is going to have more security. |
| 614 | * SCP-040 has pink hair and a black eye she can't see through. [[SquishyWizard Despite her power she's rather frail]], having brittle hair and gets sick easily. Unfortunately for her, she can't manipulation microscopic organisms. Being an ill girl, she can sympathize with Wally, and Jimmy Livingston for having to be in a bubble. [[spoiler:Though he's been healthy for a while, she still feels bad]]. This makes her really vulnerable to Thrax, who wants to see what kind of havoc he can cause inside of her. |
| 615 | * She is capable of resurrecting corpses, however since they are brought back with the mentality of a child she doesn't want to do it again. The House of Pantheon/UndeadAndPhasmata scare her, and doesn't want them to use or better hone her necromancy abilities. She's terrified of Frankenfran given [[BodyHorror her own experiments]] and complete inability to conceive of a fate that's worse than death. |
| 616 | * Mewtwo was not sure what to think of her at first given he's the result of years of horrific gene splicing. Seeing she was a NiceGirl and thought it was "a big kitty" initially, the Genetic Pokémon decided to let her be. She is interested in Eevee because mutations cause various evolutions, and they seem to respond positively to her powers because of it. |
| 617 | * Dr Gero and Davros are very interested in her ability to manipulate organic matter, as it would benefit their own plans of genetic modification. The SCP Foundation are doing their best to prevent her into falling into their hands. Anyone who wants to abuse her for their ill intent is an enemy of SCP-040. |
| 618 | * Both Xerneas and the Life Entity have shown interest in her abilities, though rather than exploiting her simply want help her out with her powers. She finds Xerneas to be rather comforting as she does Pokémon in general, and the Life Entity believes she has a lot of potential as a White Lantern and safekeeping life. |
| 619 | * Friendly towards Laura Kinney, feeling bad about how she was experimented on and treated in the Facility. Baymax is friendly towards her and concerned about her physical health. |
| 620 | * Dr Borous is awed by her ability, which reminds him of his own achievements in [[DemonicSpiders the Nightstalkers and Cazadors]]. He isn't interested in using her ability for his own gains, seeing her instead as a rival in his field. SCP-040 is seriously creeped out by Dr Borous for the carelessness he shows when creating them ForScience, what he did to his pet dog([[MyGodWhatHaveIDone though he regrets it]]) and does stuff like lace his food with drugs. She has a better relationship with Dr Mobius, since he's the TokenGoodTeammate of the Think Tank and hopes to improve her powers believing she's an example of Science! not being presented as unethical or evil. |

His childhood friend, Nanao Akita, was also a member of the mission, [[spoiler:[[UnluckyChildhoodFriend but was the first killed by the Terraformars]]]]. Over twenty years later, he is Captain of the Annex I mission to find a cure for a virus afflicting his world that came from Mars. |
| 637 | ** Severe complications arose even before they touched down, and his team is currently in conflict with both the Terraformars [[spoiler: and the Sino-Asian Squad]]. |
| 638 | * His powers are derived from what is called the "Bugs Procedure", a term that evolved to be called the "Mosaic Organ Operation" by the time of Annex I's mission. This process is derived from the Mosaic Organ possessed by the Terraformars that governs their selective immune tolerance, which can be transplanted into a Human with a survival rate of 30%. Originally restricted to insects, it grew to encompass non-insect animals as well, earning it the name "Mosaic Organ Operation. |
| 639 | ** Because of the potential threat governed by scientists of the GUAE's Mutation Lair if they could replicate this process, Shokichi now finds himself making sure none of those mad scientists acquire any Terraformar samples, as the GUAG wants to avoid the GUAE acquiring a super-soldier army possessing the Mosaic Organ - or worse, cloning a Terraformar army. |

| 644 | * When he heard of Tzeentch, he wondered if the Chaos God had any role to play in the development of the Terraformars on Mars, specifically being associated with the Gods of Rahab. The Chaos God neither confirmed nor denied this theory. |

| 681 | * Admires: [[Pantheon/TortureAndMutilation AM]] |
| 682 | * Claudandus was originally a street cat before being adopted by a scientist called Preterius, who was trying to invent a glue that could heal wounds. To that end, he performed horrific experiments on cats, with no success. After Preterius went mad from his failures, Claudandus murdered him and was adopted by Preterius' assistant, at which point Claudandus started studying various scientific subjects. Consumed by hatred from his time with Preterius, he started concocting a plan to create the ultimate breed of cats that could displace humanity, starting a cult around his ideals and murdering any "impure" cats along the way. Fortunately, a "clever shit" named Francis figured out his schemes and killed him before he could do any more damage. |
| 683 | * Alfred Drevis retrieved Claudandus' corpse and thought to add him to his collection. He figured since the cat died through no fault of his own, nobody would complain if he took the corpse for himself. However, Claudandus' gaping wound closed up and he regained life (this later turned out to be [[Pantheon/{{Felines}} Bastet's]] doing; she's not sure she doesn't regret it), and seeing a man in a lab coat, the memories of Preterius' experiments surged up and Claudandus went for Drevis' throat on instinct, killing him. Only after finding his way out of Drevis' temple did he pause to contemplate the fact that he was alive again, and in a very strange place. He decided to make the best of it and find some place to settle, and in this regard, the House of Science attracted him most. After some time promoting his beliefs about how cats could become greater than humans through selective breeding, the Main House decided he could represent SuperBreedingProgram since he espoused it so much. |
| 684 | * Francis didn't hear of Claudandus being in the Pantheon until his deification and didn't know what horrified him more: that such a grisly murderer made it in at all, or the awful things he might have done in the interim. Either way, Francis paid him a visit and made it clear he was watching and Claudandus wouldn't have it so easy. Claudandus for his part was as AffablyEvil as ever to Francis, and said he was looking forward to their mind games. Francis then went to the House of Felines and beseeched the residents not to be drawn in by Claudandus, in the hope that he won't be able to establish his cult in the Pantheon. After hearing of some of Claudandus' more horrible crimes like killing a pregnant cat by ripping out her kits, the House has issued a statement that Claudandus is not welcome there. |
| 685 | * His temple is the BigFancyHouse he lived in as the pet of Preterius' assistant, complete with a computer and piles of books for his research. And yes, he fully knows how to operate a computer and read human writing. But while Claudandus is brilliant, he's somewhat weak physically (he's not exactly young anymore), not to mention how many times he's been cut open and sewn together over and over) and so largely sits in the comfort of his temple and leaves the fighting to his allies. Not that he won't bring out the claws if he's really pressed into it. |
| 686 | * As a feline who utterly despises humans, he was able to become great friends with Shere Khan, who likewise loathes humans with a passion due to what they are capable of. They enjoy their conversations with each other as they are both very witty and cultured, and Shere Khan is more than willing to lend his strength to Claudandus whenever he needs it for his plans, making them a rather fearsome combination. Claudandus has also taken a liking to Scar, who's Shere Khan's friend as well. Scar's relative lack of strength makes him less useful to Claudandus, though he still has brains and charisma, which led him to become king for a while, and that's something Claudandus can respect and relate to. |
| 687 | * Thanks to Shere Khan, Claudandus might be discovering that there are merits to allying with other human-hating creatures that aren't his fellow cats or close cousins. One such deity is Koba, with the violent ape acknowledging Claudandus as a comrade for their shared trauma from getting experimented on and abused by humans. Claudandus also appreciates another ape called Zaius for his views on how humans are inferior beings because they ultimately can't help but destroy themselves, though Zaius personally thinks applying a FinalSolution like Claudandus wants to do isn't ideal and that they should be domesticated instead. |
| 688 | * Claudandus thinks Katz is a somewhat odd sort, and wonders what mutation occurred in his genes that allowed him to gain many of the advantages of humans such as an upright posture and ability to use tools. Besides that, Claudandus thinks Katz is pleasant enough, as he too has the intellect for a high-level conversation like Shere Khan. Katz himself is not that interested in Claudandus' goals (and thinks he should consider exterminating dogs instead), but since they generally involve murder and Katz is a real sadist, the anthropomorphic cat is glad to help Claudandus out whenever he can. |
| 689 | * He admires the Warrior Cats as he thinks they lead the lifestyle any proper cat should. For the most part this esteem is very one-sided; while it's true they have as little to do with humans as possible, the likes of Firestar, Bluestar, Bristlefrost and Jayfeather are not at all interested in joining Claudandus' crusade against humanity and fear that his actions might lead to an all-out war between felines and humanity, when the Warrior Cats, despite the name, just want to live out their lives peacefully. Firestar in particular was grateful to be kept by kind humans during his time as a kitten, so he doesn't buy Claudandus' talk about humans being monsters even a bit. |
| 690 | ** Claudandus thinks it's a pity the Warrior Cats don't see the truth; he attributes this to them living happily isolated in the forest. At any rate, if they do get in his way, he won't spare them. He thought he'd have better luck with the more unscrupulous Scourge, but after Claudandus went to meet him with a business proposition, Scourge just cut his belly open like he did with Tigerstar (and like Francis did to Claudandus), saying contemptuously that he if he didn't follow orders from the former leader of [=ShadowClan=], neither would he take them from a sickly weakling who lived in luxury and had others do his dirty work. That brought Claudandus some bad memories when he was revived, and he's never gone anywhere near any of the Warrior Cats since. |
| 691 | * Being a victim of AnimalTesting would normally get him sympathy points from deities like Rowf and Snitter, and Rowf certainly sees where he's coming from with his hatred of humans. However, Claudandus' goals and methods to achieve them are way too much for the two dogs. Snitter honestly wonders how Claudandus can say all of humanity is bad when Preterius' assistant kept him and treated him well. |
| 692 | * Has no respect for the pig Napoleon whatsoever, given the open secret that Napoleon consorts with humans who think nothing of abusing animals for his own selfish benefit, while claiming it is all necessary for the good of the animals. Napoleon has adopted so many of the characteristics of humans that he could no longer really be considered an animal, so Claudandus thinks he and the pigs siding with him can all just perish together with the humans when he sets his ultimate plan in motion, given he thinks nothing good will come of letting them live. |
| 693 | * When Claudandus heard of the Five Survivors and the horrors they suffer at the hands of the super-computer AM, he thought it was all quite brilliant and entertaining. He admires AM for its power and how it used it to exterminate humanity except for those five, and enjoys hearing about the torture they are put through without ever being able to die; Claudandus likes to imagine himself subjecting Preterius to similar treatment. Unfortunately for him, Claudandus' fondness of AM is unlikely to ever be returned since the computer appears incapable of feeling anything but pure hatred at all times. |

| 719 | * Kipo was a young human girl who was born in a burrow known as The Clover in a post-apocalyptic Earth, living alongside her father, Lio Oak, and many other humans. One day their burrow was attacked by a Mega-Mute (a giant mutant animal) Monkey, forcing Kipo to flee after her father got her to safety. Exposed to the surface, Kipo went on a quest to find her people again, meeting many friends along the way, after finding her father she soon found out that there were bigger forces at play in the world that she had no idea of, and was eventually caught up in the midst of a conflict between mutated humans and the remaining humans, which she eventually managed to end when she became a peacemaker between both mutekind and mankind eventually helping mutes and humans get along in the future as an adult. |
| 720 | * Kipo ascended after the defeat of Dr. Emilia, her nemesis and the true villain of her story, who was responsible for all the conflict of modern day between humans and mutes directly and indirectly. Her temple was not too different from her burrow home, with some of her favorite music put on special devices for her to listen to. |
| 721 | * As a mutant who fought for peace between humanity and the mutes of her world, she appreciates those who seek to make peace between humans and other species; for this reason she made allies with the X-Men, mutants who have fought and still fight to this day in their world to try and make the world a better place for mutants while making sure humans didn't see them as a threat to their existence. This alliance also led to her opposing the Brotherhood of Mutants, who fully embrace being seen as a threat to humanity and want to subjugate them through force to pave the way for a mutant supremacy; on the flip-side of this conflict there's William Stryker and the Sentinels, who both oppose mutants either for the superiority of humanity or for their own, respectively; as such Kipo has little goodwill about them, viewing them as no better than the worst mutes of her world or Dr. Emilia. That said, she did have major empathy for Magneto, who was once a victim of the Holocaust, which in turn inspired his entire movement; while she still does not condone what he does, she does feel bad for him in that regard and has tried reaching out to him over his past and has even seen that deep down he's not all bad and there's a chance he could abandon his extremist ways in the future. |
| 722 | * Another deity who made an effort for peace that became an ally was Caesar, an evolved enhanced chimpanzee who after becoming the king of apes tried his best to ensure mankind and apekind would not have conflict and even went as far as helping pockets of human civilization left after the Simian Flu devastated society to recover and be safe from the wrath of Koba, an enhanced bonobo that once acted as his trusted lieutenant and brother in arms but went off the deep end due to resentment against humans and tried to kill all who he could see, breaking laws that Caesar and himself made to ensure apes never fell victim to in-fighting. For this reason, the psychotic bonobo became another of Kipo's enemies, as he was even worse than one of her former enemies, Scarlemagne, who also is her older adopted brother and in spite of his initial enmity against humans learnt to let it go and become good. Other 2 deities that earned Kipo's scorn were Colonel [=McCullough=] and Dr. Zaius, the former for having anti-non-humans views and seeking to put humanity at the top through violence and the latter for having a prejudiced disdain and hatred of humans that drives him to make efforts to treat them inhumanely. |
| 723 | * She found herself having an odd relation with [[Pantheon/{{Storytelling}} Ellie]], [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0KfXSzpvb0U who she found to have a lot of similarities with]]: as both are mutates with special genes that set them apart from other people in their world, both play the guitar, grew up desiring to see by themselves a world that was long gone and had dreams of being an astronaut since childhood along with an initial optimistic view of the world in spite of the situation of their worlds... But the similarities end there, as Ellie fell victim to shedding her own optimism and niceness in favor of dehumanizing other people that weren't her friends or family and was consumed by the desire of vengeance against those who wronged her without considering that they're people like her; while Kipo retained her optimism and even kept holding on to it when more enemies appeared and the situations kept increasing in danger. While Ellie ended up miserable and alone after her actions drove off her loved ones and destroyed families, Kipo was able to rise above her pain and was able to get her happy ending of mutes and humans co-existing, even if she lost her older brother in the process, both girls have an uneasy relationship due to their differing views on the world, with Kipo keeping herself at arm's length due to Ellie's many atrocities done during her RoaringRampageOfRevenge. |
| 724 | ** Joel himself has thought of taking more after Kipo himself especially as he can attest to that his actions having consequences is what ultimately led to his death, as well as allowing his cynicism to not view other humans as the people they were which led to many sociopathic acts that affected him and his loved ones in the long run. With his fatherly relationship with Ellie, he found himself talking to Kipo in order to better understand her optimism, and while he's still having issues reconciling his past sins and actions, he's nonetheless felt that talking things out with the young mute girl could eventually lead to him finally moving on from his past and improving his life and happiness. He was also curious to hear that Kipo nearly fell victim to a desire for revenge which she was able to overcome thanks to her friends, sparing her from ending like Ellie, which made him feel even worse about how his actions made Ellie's life hell, which he wanted to avoid doing. |
| 725 | * As Star Butterfly also worked hard to improve relationships between two different races in her world, she earned a place among Kipo's allies. Kipo herself admired that Star in spite of meeting genuinely evil monsters never fell victim to the same prejudices and FantasticRacism that a lot of other Mewmans fell victim to, and that to booth she succeeded in her goals at the end of the day, even if it took destroying all magic to do so, Star herself also congratulated Kipo on not only achieving peace between. On the flip-side of this alliance is an enmity with both Toffee of Septarsis and Mina Loveberry, who are both bigoted against humans/mewmans and monsters respectively, both of them tried to hinder Star's and her ancestor's efforts to make peace and were perfectly willing to tear up families and kill innocents for the sake of supremacy of their respective races as well as out of an egotistical feeling of superiority. |
| 726 | * Gorilla Grodd is an evil gorilla who plots to enslave humanity for his own selfish purposes of conquest, his brutality and penchant for massive hipocrisy with his callous disregard of the lives of other apes only makes this hatred further increase, with the evil gorilla's self-interest into raising himself to power. Another ape who similarly ended up as her enemy was Mojo Jojo, who was enhanced through Chemical X and chose to go down a path of evil and conquer humanity and despite his initial goal being to bring World Peace he forgoed it in favor of cotinuing to be evil once he tired of world peace and got back to his evil ways, the fact that he's a complete opposite of Hugo/Scarlemagne in regards to motivations doesn't help. |
| 727 | * The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles are mutated turtles who grew into superheroes for both humans and benevolent mutants in all versions. The ones in the Pantheon took a liking to Kipo due to her mutant status and powers, as well as having established peace between mutant creatures and humans in her world which the turtles sort of seek as they wish to be accepted into human society for the most part, which they eventually succeeded at in most worlds. Another ally she made was Baron Draxum, as the yokai former warlord once hated humans before his time with the turtles changed his viewpoints and helped him become a better person overall and even helping to save humanity from the Shredder. |
| 728 | * While Big Mom desires to make a world where humans and hybrids can co-exist, her way of doing so by kidnapping people is not at all something Kipo approves of; even more when Kipo herself was ordered kidnapped by her goons which nearly happened when they caught her off-guard and tried dragging her to Big Mom's temple, only for her to use her mute powers to break out and send her goons packing. While she's not outright enemies with the pirate woman, she nonetheless keeps her distance from her, and silently opposes her methods while trying to teach her a better and more civil way to reach their common goal of unity. |
| 729 | * Set and Marcus are a pair of mutants with differing views on humanity, while Set has remained deadset on staying hateful of them, Marcus has taken a wiser path and instead has turned to respecting them and even allowing them to live alongside mutants and other oddities, Kipo has made allies with the latter over this but tends to avoid Set due to his unpleasantness and hatred of humans. |
| 730 | ** Similarly Eren Yeager who once had an idealist dream of saving humanity from the Titans ended up becoming an enemy despite their initial similarities, as he had eventually devolved into a genocidal maniac willing to kill most of humanity with the Rumbling of several titans at once to let the people of Paradis rule over the remains after years of oppression; while Kipo understands and agrees that the Paradisians have been mistreated, she does not approve of Eren's extremism and has pretty much made it clear that she will not ally with him ever. |
| 731 | * Due to her role as an ambassador between humans and non-humans who brought peace to a warring age, she earned the favor of the Undertale Deities who lived in a world that was divided once between humans and monsters due to several conflicts that got the monsters sealed underground before Frisk's actions allowed the monsters to be free and eventually make peace with mankind leading to an age of prosperity for both species; they were happy to know that Kipo stayed true to her idealism in spite of the many problems that arose and at the end of the day achieved peace. For this reason Steven Universe and the other deities of his world became allies with Kipo, too, viewing her achievements as admirable especially in regards to standing her ground against an ever-challenging world and even helping redeem many villains from her world by reaching out to them and appealing to their inner goodness. Ultraman Cosmos and Musashi were other pacifist deities who enjoyed hearing about her work, with Kipo also growing interested in the Planet Juran that both had helped make as a sanctum for Kaiju and humans to live in harmony and without conflict after helping create bridges between both groups. |
| 732 | * Unusual allies came in the form of Godzilla and King Kong, the "Kings" of the Kaiju, who once challenged her Mega-Mute form to a battle to test her strength; though Kipo was outmatched in the end, she nonetheless earned their respect and even was offered to be trained by them into becoming even stronger and more skilled in her mute abilities. A mutual respect was also held when she heard that both Kong and Godzilla have recently turned to peace-keeping between humanity and Kaiju in their own ways, keeping unruly and evil Kaiju in check and motivating benevolent ones to assist the world's environments without harming humans. |
| 733 | * Finn is another fellow post-apocalyptic child who grew up in an unfamiliar world and has a rather tragic past from being separated from his birth family like Kipo was, though at a much younger age. Kipo was curious to see that Finn in spite of starting out as a BloodKnight with massive recklessness grew into a wise, kind-hearted hero who rarely resorted to violence unless there was no choice and even started becoming a [[OnlySaneMan voice of reason]] to his friends in dire times. Finn himself admired that Kipo managed to also grow as a person without losing her optimistic view of the world and was able to reunite with her family in many ways, as while he did "reunite" with both of his parents, neither encounter was particularly happy as circumstances beyond their control tore apart their lives and thus neither had a positive send-off with Finn until much later. |

| 751 | * Opposed By: [[Pantheon/CritiqueAndParody The Nostalgia Critic]] |
| 752 | * Batty Koda is an Australian fruit bat, or as he puts it, "a nocturnal, placental, flying mammal of the family Pteropodidae." '''[[note]] [[ShownTheirWork The family all Old World fruit bats belong to.]][[/note]]''' Originally [[AnimalTesting experimented on by cruel human scientists]], Batty had a large antenna screwed into his brain, which picks up electric charges and disrupts his mind, driving him into insanity. He later escaped into the wild, where he ended up in the idyllic rainforest known as Ferngully. There, he befriended the fairy Crysta, dealt with his prejudice to humans, and helped save the forest from the destructive force of Hexxus. One day, while traversing the jungle, Batty flew straight into an anomaly in time and space, landing him right in the middle of a battle between the Nature Preservers and the various poachers and polluters they oppose. His swooping and dodging of projectiles served as an unexpected form of distraction, as the N.P. was able to take advantage of the bat's arrival and push back, landing another victory against their foes. Once everything calmed down, they brought Batty to the Court of the Gods, who awarded him with a temple and a position in the Pantheon. |
| 753 | * While he's more than capable of travelling from the Pantheon to Ferngully via his temple, Batty is more often than not seen hanging out in the Great Valley, where he's taken part in adventures with Littlefoot and his friends. Sometimes they get confused by his speech mannerisms but quickly found him to be a friendly fellow. |
| 754 | ** It's also led to an undeniable fear for the [[TerrifyingTyrannosaur Sharptooth]], [[RaptorAttack Riptor]] and ''[[LivingWeapon Indominus Rex]]'', the latter two especially since they were both [[GeneticEngineeringIsTheNewNuke genetically modified organisms]] created by human scientists for their own ambitions. Just the thought of humans creating these two predators has made Batty very uncomfortable and he's made it a goal to keep away from them as much as possible. |
| 755 | * Batty claims the tests done to him messed his sonar, or "radar" as he calls it, up, resulting in his less than stellar flying capabilities. The Pantheon's naturalists have questioned this, [[ArtisticLicenseBiology as fruit bats aren't completely reliant on echolocation to fly in the daytime, focusing more on sight to navigate.]] Still, he tends to crash into everything from trees, walls, boulders, other flying animals, power lines, [[WatchOutForThatTree more trees]], and even other gods whilst flying around. |
| 756 | * As it turned out, there were plenty of other bats residing in the Pantheon for Batty to interact with. The result though was mixed. While he has opposed to Antasma, mainly after seeing how completely dangerous he turned out to be, but got along well with the resident Zubat colony. Which is a miracle considering when they first met, the Zubats used Confuse Ray on him. It proved to be Super Effective on Batty, causing him to crash into even [[RunningGag more trees]] than before. |
| 757 | ** He had better luck with Rouge the Bat and Tippi, who, despite their more unusual appearances, grew accustomed to Batty's wacky personality and even became acquaintances with him. They're more than happy to welcome him to their homeworlds, where Batty has been seen... [[RuleOfThree crashing into objects]] as he always does. It did lead to him meeting and befriending George of the Jungle by, of course, running into each other. |
| 758 | * Batty gets along incredibly well with the good-aligned fairies in the Pantheon, due to his previous friendship with Crysta, Pipps and the other residents of Ferngully. He's often seen flying alongside Betilla, Navi and Tinker Bell, but it was the fairy godparent Cosmo who Batty got along with the most. The two are considered wacky in their own right but together... they are both comedy gold. Same applies to the Genie, who not only can keep up with Batty's constantly changing dialogue but, on occasion, [[Creator/RobinWilliams shares the same voice.]] |
| 759 | ** It was through Tinker Bell that Batty befriended Peter Pan, who welcomed the bat into Neverland and allowed him to join the Lost Boys on their many adventures. One time though, they ran into Captain Hook and his crew, leading to a scuffle which resulted in pirates opposing the fruit bat. After all, any friend of Peter Pan and the fairies is an enemy of Hook. |
| 760 | * Unfortunately, Batty has never recovered from his traumatizing experience in the biology lab and has a difficult time trusting humans because of it. This has made adjusting to the Pantheon rather difficult due to the number of humans residing there. The Nature Preservers, in particular, San and Tarzan, have been trying to show the bat that not humans were all bad and while progress has been made, things have been slow. It doesn't help that many of the N.P.'s enemies, including Mr. Burns, Looten Plunder, Cruella [=DeVil=], and Pokémon Hunter J, are not above capturing EndangeredSpecies or destroying the environment... not to mention unleashing [[BigBad Hexxus]] upon the Pantheon. |
| 761 | ** His treatment by the scientists did lead Batty to befriend Rowf and Snitter, two dogs who were also the subjects of various experiments done to them and have - in Rowf's case - shown a disdain for [[HumansAreBastards humanity in general.]] Snitter though still considers some humans to be good, and has introduced Batty to their human friend N, who understood the plight of the three animals and has been aiding them, along with the Nature Preservers, in getting use to the people who lived in the Pantheon, and introducing them to those who both love and care for all animals, big and small. |
| 762 | * Batty has managed to make a few friends in the form of Steve Irwin and David Attenborough, both prominent naturalists and incredibly passionate conservationists. The fruit bat was surprised to see how much they cared for restoring the environment, Irwin especially as he, in particular, cares deeply for [[UsefulNotes/AustralianWildlife Australia's unique wildlife.]] With Batty by their side, Irwin and Attenborough often go to the Elysium Academy to educate the students on the animals from the land Down Under, and what they can do to protect it for future generations. |
| 763 | ** Much to his surprise, Batty learned his friend Crysta was actually familiar with the Pantheon, having served as a Follower to the Lorax. The orange tree sprite has since become friends with the bat due to their shared love for the natural world, though he groaned at how many times Batty has crashed into the trees in the House of Pantheon/{{Nature}}. |
| 764 | * If the opportunity presents itself, Batty will gladly sing to everyone and anyone about how he's been [[LyricalDissonance brain fried, electrified, infected and injectified, vivisectifed and fed pesticides]]. It can be annoying at times, especially to those who've been introduced to him before, and some have even described it as being like [[WebVideo/TheNostalgiaCritic "Eminem, sung by M&M's while taking part in S&M."]] But most gods simply just rolled with it. |
| 765 | * Whenever Batman comes to visit the House of Pantheon/BeastsAndFauna, Batty will instinctually fly in and perch on the Caped Crusader's shoulder, like a parrot to a pirate. The allies of both deities have been confused by this but they don't want to bring it up to either of them, as they don't want to ruin the photo opportunities. For his part, Batman doesn't seem to mind, or at least he doesn't show it. |
| 766 | * While Batty's relationship with humans has been slowly adjusting, he has no interest with hanging out with the Nostalgia Critic, especially after he took a [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cAiEK-jqKyI look]] at Batty's homeworld with the Nostalgia Chick. That, and calling Batty annoying without the funny charm of the Genie left a bad impression on the flying mammal. |
| 767 | * Don't ask him if he's [[DirectToVideo having funner than the funnest fun.]] You may end up contracting [[http://conditions.health.qld.gov.au/HealthCondition/condition/14/217/10/australian-bat-lyssavirus Australian Bat Lyssavirus.]] |
