| 4 | This hall is a place for weapon storage, similar to Pantheon/WeaponPlacement, but with a key difference: all the weapons here are tools. All laid out neatly into sections for any deity to grab and use, either for battle or for their intended purpose. The deities that reside in this house use this place to store their items, instead of the Hall of Weapon Placement. Deities from other houses sneak into here from time to time to steal any tools they need. |

| 59 | * In a future where humanity was put on the brink of extreme isolation and depopulation, a young boy named Simon used to live in an underground village harvesting ancient artifacts to make a living alongside his surrogate older brother, Kamina. Initially a dull life, they are, one day after excavating the remains of a pair of mecha known as the Gurren and the Lagann, interrupted by a mechanical being from above who attacked their village, and coming under attack from a girl named Yoko Littner. Simon and Kamina quickly took their opportunity to pilot Gurren and Lagann and defeat the being, alongside discovering a source of power known as the ''Spiral Energy''. Together with Yoko, the three left the village on good terms and officially established Team Dai-Gurren, with the intent to explore the surface and embark on an epic journey to discover more about the Spiral Energy as well as fight against more of what the being came from, which was revealed to be part of a mutant race known as the Beastmen. Along their adventure, Simon, Kamina, and Yoko met and befriended several figures, such as Leeron, Kittan Bachika, and Rossiu Adai, who were eager to join along and fight with them, though Kamina was later killed in battle against the Beastman, Thymilph. Initially despondent and unsure of what to do, Simon stumbled across a lost princess, Nia Teppelin, who provided him the motivation to regain his confidence and continue the fight. Developing a rivalry with a Beastman, Viral, who has continuously fought back against them, Team Dai-Gurren would battle against the Beastmen, eventually coming across their leader, and Nia's father, Lordgenome, who engaged in a tough battle against Simon against the fate of Mankind on Earth. In the end, Simon prevailed in the grueling fight and defeated Lordgenome, finally allowing Mankind to step out of their shadows and thrive on the surface of the world for years to come... |
| 60 | ** Years later, with Simon having established a bustling community and being hailed as a hero, the world was suddenly under attack again when, with the birth of the millionth human, Kittan's niece via his oldest younger sister, Kiyoh, a hive of mechas controlled by the mysterious Anti-Spiral decided to lay siege upon Earth, intending to enforce severe population control in a deluded attempt to halt the increase of Spiral Energy and keeping the Spiral Nemesis at bay. His arrival also caused Nia to be subjugated to its control, forcing Simon into a dire situation, especially when Rossiu decides to enact on his own suggestions, even taking advice from Lordgenome to make heavy sacrifices and, when his burdens are too much to bear, contemplates suicide. However, Simon snapped Rossiu out of his grief and rallies up his friends to make a valiant stand against the Anti-Spiral, bringing back Nia and even allying with Lordgenome to combat the Anti-Spiral itself. The battle was won by Simon and his comrades with the Anti-Spiral entrusting the victor to keep in check of the Spiral Energy and be prepared for the Spiral Nemesis, though, at the cost of many of his trusted ones, including Kittan, and with her own life tethered to the Anti-Spiral's being, Nia dies shortly after marrying Simon. After years of hardships, Team Dai-Gurren were able to earn themselves a well-established community and a belief of hope for years to come, with Simon giving up his Core Drill to a fellow fighter and friend, Gimmy. |
| 61 | * With Simon having and his remaining friends having made their story, they were content in looking after the next generation and settling down to either relax or to inspire others into taking arms for what they believe in. That is until an unexpected visitation came in the form of Kamina himself when he confronted the older Simon. Initially confused, Simon asked what was going on, with his older brother explaining that sometime after defeating the Anti-Spiral, Kamina got to experience a whole new world known as the Trope Pantheons and gushed about just how awesome and cool it was to meet with beings who were just as stylish and badass as they could be. It later went on into a conversation regarding the overall coolness of the Pantheon until Kamina revealed that despite it all, there's a series of great threats looming over the new world and, if left unchecked, could potentially start invading and destroying theirs. Simon expressed worry and concern, but what really motivated him was learning about the Anti-Spiral's presence in the Pantheon, which gave him all the motivation he needed to consider entering the Pantheon. Getting into contact with his friends, Simon and Team Dai-Gurren quickly banded back together to make their grand entrance in the Pantheon. |
| 62 | ** To the group's delight, Kamina wasn't the sole individual among the deceased who made his way into the Pantheon. They were quickly able to reunite with Kittan, who has proud to see that he made some kind of difference to his group as well as seeing that his sisters were leading a happy life. He took this as a sign that he was better than before and that the Pantheon has been allowing him to not just motivate him to be a more capable warrior like Simon and Kamina are, but to also make sure that his loved ones are safe and inspired by him. And lastly, Simon was nearly unresponsive to discovering Nia alive again after so long and his friends have had to push him into having a heartfelt reunion with one another. With this said and done, Simon and Nia were quick to profess their love and affection for one another and declare themselves husband and wife again, this time with the added effect of getting a lot of individuals in the Pantheon, Kamina included, to be attending and congratulating him. With the band wholly united for once, Team Dai-Gurren were eager to establish their reputation and camaraderie in the Pantheon, something that the Anti-Spiral has since noticed and has kept himself prepared for the occasion they were to battle again. |
| 63 | * What makes Team Dai-Gurren famous in the Pantheon is simply two things; [[TookALevelInBadass badassery]], which the group has consistently demonstrated by escalating their determination and action to a point where their scale becomes [[BeyondTheImpossible simply incomprehensible to take account into]], and making several of the perceived most badass individuals in the Pantheon either wince in excitement, respect, or glee for multiple reasons. The other is being a [[HopeBringer beacon of hope]], which stems from the fact that the group, at least under Simon's leadership via Kamina's wishes and Nia's encouragement, were able to provide Humanity a sense of relief and positive expectations freely for the first time in a thousand years. These two qualities have been key to making Team Dai-Gurren among the most celebrated groups in the Pantheon, something which Kamina gushes upon with utmost pride, proud to see that Simon not only successfully carried out his legacy, but also surpassed him both as a mentor, as a leader, and as a pilot. |
| 64 | * Their reputation was such that they were quickly considered for recruitment by the Pantheon/GrandUnitedAllianceOfGood via the [[Pantheon/GUAGRobotWarDivision Robot War Division's]] [[Pantheon/GUAGRobotWarDivisionThirdBattlegroup Third Battlegroup]]. While they possess some of the craziest, most powerful assets any mecha is capable of possessing, Simon and Kamina mainly serve as group morale mediators to all of the Robot War Division's Battlegroup and the rest of the Pantheon's heroic community while Rossiu, being the most logical and pragmatic of the group, being opted to serve as a logistics overseer and mecha analyzer for much of the Battlegroup's robotic stockpile. Of course, Team Dai-Gurren accepted the offer as they're well aware that with the Anti-Spiral now willing to increase its own armada and strength per the Pantheon's nature, their own presence and hope is now more necessary for the Pantheon than it is on their own world, which has been quite a burden for the group to bear. |
| 65 | * Given the Pantheon's nature, Team Dai-Gurren would inevitably come across many figures who have piloted mechas much like them, though it was their tendency to surpass limits and provide optimism where they really distinguished themselves from the others. One notable example came from Ryoma Nagare, who also possessed a streak of impulsiveness and steadfast determination in fighting for what he believed in, though, unlike Simon and Kamina, his hot-bloodedness was more on the lines of rendering him into a raging berserker on the battlefield. He was amused to discover just how much he paralleled with Team Dai-Gurren regarding their quirks, similarities, and differences, though now that they're in a realm where greater threats mean alliances, he's had to be quick in forging a partnership with Team Dai-Gurren. He appreciates their optimistic enthusiasm, though is nature as a berserker can make some members like Leeron wince at just how much destruction he creates on the battlefield. As his partner, Hayato Jin explains... |
| 66 | -->Hayato Jin: "Looks like the only ones who can pilot Getter Robo are either superior pilots… or insane!" |
| 67 | ** On a lighter note, other mecha pilots like Kouji Kabuto, Tetsuya Tsurugi, Sayaka Yumi, and Jun Hono, were a lot more level-headed than Ryoma is, whilst still possessing a hot-blooded streak, much like most members of Team Dai-Gurren. Given their nature of wanting to protect the world from grand threats, they had a mutual goal and they got along very easily, with Kouji and Tetsuya expressing admiration and even a light bit of inspiration from Team Dai-Gurren's exploits, hoping that they could learn from those experiences and make an effort to better their own mechas. Sayaka and Jun also quickly got along with Simon and Nia, given their similar story of finding a love interest and getting married throughout the whole event of giant robot battles, though they expressed condolences towards Nia for passing away shortly after getting married as well as Yoko for having to lose both of her love interests only shortly after those were confessed. |
| 68 | ** The Gundams were a more complex matter, in that whilst most of the mechas from other realms were mainly centered around battles and attempts to save one's own world's, those in the Gundam, universe, in addition to the above, also had to deal with personal and political matters that made challenges for them more difficult. Of all the members in Team Dai-Gurren, Rossiu was the only one who could communicate well enough in a logistical and political fashion to make arrangements and negotiations regarding how Gundams can be managed as well as looked after in some way or another. While they were able to get along with Amuro Ray, Heero Yui, and Kira Yamato due to their fair share of heroic actions and reputation, the likes of Muruta Azrael and the Zabi Family were very quickly assumed to be enemies due to their militant and self-superiority-driven acts of destruction and control they sought to perpetuate. Simon instantly disliked Muruta for being the worst kind of petty regarding his motivations and has stated that he won't live another day if he ever gets to touch Nia, and even Kamina drops any pretense of being over-the-top from confronting them. As for the Zabi family, much of Team Dai-Gurren's animosity is directed towards Gihren as he was more than willing to commit mass destruction by deploying colonies on populated settlements as a way to inspire terror, whilst taking compliments from being compared to Nazism. Mineva, on the other hand, has been an exception, and she ended up generally liking and working with Team Dai-Gurren on several occasions when it comes to political efforts and mecha fights. |
| 69 | * Simon and his group weren't the only figures who were large aspirations of hope. A little into their time in the Pantheon, Simon had met Madoka Kaname after hearing about her tales in her mortal life and well as her reputation of being the most beloved goddess in the Pantheon no thanks to her sense of compassion and desire to grant happiness towards everyone and not just those she saw as friends and family. The two, much to their surprise, managed to strike a very close friendship with each other as they recognized that [[ClassicalAntiHero they had to deal with a lot of burden and self-esteem issues before becoming grand symbols of hope and combating against a grave threat to the cosmos]]. It endeared the two to learn that they could learn from each other in some ways, given that Simon was inspired by Madoka's selfless desire to save ''all'' magical girls from their fate of becoming witches. That said, Madoka's status as a literal hope goddess meant that she and Simon couldn't spend much time together, which he understood as he himself had a lot of responsibilities to hold up on as well. |
| 70 | ** Then came a drastic turn of events, which were perpetrated by [[Pantheon/{{Ambiguity}} Lucifer]] via enticing and promising Madoka's dear friend, [[Pantheon/TimeTravelling Homura Akemi]] of a way to save Madoka from further despair, which played a huge role in sapping away much of Madoka's power and influence and rendering her back into a normal human. This came as a massive shock to Team Dai-Gurren as they didn't expect a large alignment schism to occur too soon, and with Madoka's depowerment, much of the Pantheon became pessimistic and distrustful with the GUAG due to their poor performance and communication, which also saw it's [[Pantheon/GUAGMagicalGirlSisterhood Magical Girl Sisterhood Division]] split off to form its own organization Since then, Simon took it upon himself to visit Madoka and keep her spirits up, learning that she suffers from self-esteem despite doing the best she could to remain optimistic. And regarding Homura, Simon does understand her situation and why she did what she had to do, but that doesn't mean he would condone her actions as it meant putting the Pantheon at risk. Their reactions to Madoka regaining part of her powers also had a contrasting reaction as Homura was not happy and felt that this would put Madoka in danger while Simon was happy and proud to see that his friend was able to fight back and potentially help to inspire others again. |
| 71 | * Having dealt with extreme oppression due to the acts of Lordgenome and The Anti-Spiral, Team Dai-Gurren has made further enemies with similar beings who promoted that theme above all else. One of those was the government of Big Brother, seeing as they have outlawed any sense of strong emotions, feelings, and attachments and wanted to ensure that everything was under authoritative control, [[DespotismJustifiesTheMeans regardless if it meant that others had to mentally and emotionally suffer for it]]. Naturally, Team Dai-Gurren, [[AllLovingHero Nia included]], was infuriated to learn of Big Brother's system and have vowed to dismantle it by any means necessary. However, they were in for a rude awakening, for Big Brother had anticipated Team Dai-Gurren's opposition and had made preparations in opposing them back via finding ways to neutralize and disable the gathering of Spiral Energy. They intend to dismantle their mechas as a means to eliminate further threats and, upon defeating and killing them, also erase records of Team Dai-Gurren's existence, ensuring that no one will ''know of their existence'', much less looking up to them for aspiration. |
| 72 | * After The Anti-Spiral himself, Team Dai-Gurren found their biggest Pantheonic enemy in the New God, Darkseid. Seeing as the group's main power source and motivation stemmed from the belief in hope and never giving up, the Lord of Apokolips envisioned his ultimate goal in enslaving all of existence into a hellish domain full of death, misery, and hopelessness, and in a sense, Darkseid was the absolute antithesis of the Spiral Energy. On top of that, the fact that The Anti-Spiral was actually willing to align himself with the Lord of Tyranny meant that Team Dai-Gurren couldn't ignore him one bit, and have since dedicated himself to stopping Darkseid at all costs. Strangely, Darkseid himself not only registers Team Dai-Gurren as a notable threat but also sees Simon and Kamina as [[WorthyOpponent worthy adversaries]] and would much rather want to corrupt and enslave them into his services, feeling that their Gurren Lagann mecha would prove a useful asset in his quest to dominate all of the Pantheon. Darkseid, however, takes Nia more seriously than most of her enemies, noting [[TheHeart her nature as a team mediator]] and seeks to silence and enslave her first in an effort to make things easier for him. It doesn't matter if he angers Simon, Darkseid is willing to take the challenge of fighting against some of the most badass beings in the Pantheon if it means he can further assert his dominance and nature as the God of Tyranny. |
| 73 | * Their reputation attracted the attention of the Lantern Corps, intergalactic organizations that were powered by special rings via specific emotions and using one's imagination to create constructs, replicas, and matters of energy for various uses. Of course, the two that immediately gained Team Dai-Gurren's respect were the Green and Blue Lanterns. The Green Lanterns represented Willpower and each and every member has displayed the capability to display a great deal of that via their determination and the enormous amount of Spiral Energy they amass in their fights. Hal Jordan and John Stewart were glad and willing to lend the group spare Green Lantern rings in case they have their me has missing or destroyed, a sentiment which the team agreed on, with Kamina, in particular, gushing about the capabilities of being a Green Lantern and Kittan finding a common ground with Guy Gardner for being overly boisterous {{Leader Wannabe}}s who could still prove their valor by a ton. As for the Blue Lanterns, Saint Bro'dee Walker commends Team Dai-Gurren for their nature to inspire and advocate for Hope, which is what energizes a Blue Lantern Ring. He personally selected Nia as a potential candidate for wielding a Blue Lantern Ring in the future, stating that she will be among the many needed for a selection of new recruits during s time when a great evil will emerge to threaten the Pantheon's existence. Nia accepted Saint Walker's terms and has since possessed a Blue Lantern Ring since, though she's kept herself from using it unless either a dire situation occurs, or the events of what Saint Walker stated have occurred. Either way, she's seen as a paragon for the Blue Lanterns and Nia remains on great terms with them. |
| 74 | ** Among the other Lantern Corps, Team Dai-Gurren was at unease when encountered by the Red Lantern and Sinestro Corps, who were noted to have been far more ruthless and uncompromising than others of their kind. Thaal Sinestro commended Simon for his efforts in stopping The Anti-Spiral and he even admitted his own opposition against them as The Anti-Spiral was eerily reminiscent of the Manhunters that hounded the galaxy destroying planets and civilizations out of a deliberate malfunction that made them desire order in lethal fashion, whereas Atrocitus, in addition to being allies with Lordgenome, felt that with the loss that they've endured, some of the members, particularly Simon, would be capable of wielding a Red Lantern Ring, though it turned out the Blue and Green Lanterns were ultimately more suitable for them, as well as comparing The Anti-Spiral to the actions committed by [[Pantheon/{{Mindsets}} Krona]]. The three of them came to form a difficult partnership, as Team Dai-Gurren can't fully bring it upon themselves to trust either Sinestro and Atrocitus de to their fair share of unsavory actions committed in their goals of a [[UtopiaJustifiesTheMeans peaceful order]] and [[RevengeBeforeReason righteous vengeance]] respectively. That said, the two Lantern Corps leaders maintain some degree of respect for the team and are aware that they would be necessary for an alliance when it comes to dealing with threats that can potentially destroy the Pantheon. |
| 75 | * Their stories can be seen as a more hopeful and optimistic parallel compared to the EVA Children, consisting of Shinji Ikari, Rei Ayanami, Asuka Langley-Soryu, and Kaworu Nagisa, as all four of them were teens that were forcefully drafted into piloting giant mechas known as Evangelions to fight against a collective of abstract monsters known as Angels to defend civilization, which later led to a series of events regarding psychological breakdowns and unnerving revelations that drove the four teens into melancholy and despair as their fight to save Humanity only became more intense. Their tale saddened Team Dai-Gurren, but it didn't stop them from approaching and befriending them and telling them that what they did was brave and admirable, considering the circumstances they went through. They, in turn, thanked Team Dai-Gurren for their hospitality and came to see them as good friends, in spite of their differentiating mindsets. Oddly enough, they spend more time trying to hang out, with Team Dai-Gurren aiming to help the teens out emotionally and mentally, though times, where the two have fought against mutual threats together, have occurred from time to time. |
| 76 | * Their knack of using mechas caught the interest of the Transformers, and Team Dai-Gurren's pursuit of hope and determination won them a great deal of appreciation from the Autobot leader, Optimus Prime, as well as fellow ascended Autobots, Bumblebee, Ironhide, and Arcee. Given that they themselves have defended Earth and the cosmos for a very long time, their relationship has been neutral and Kamina often squees about Optimus and his organization, wishing that the Gurren Lagann itself was sentient. The Dinobots, on the other hand, were a lot more complicated, given that they were more motivated by who was the strongest, and generally don't care about hope. They did, however, respect Simon, Kamina, and their friends for their strength and fighting against Lordgenome and The Anti-Spiral, whom they see as bullies, though their violent tendencies make working with them difficult. Of course, Megatron and his ascended Decepticon followers were quick to learn and register Team Dai-Gurren as potential threats the moment they and the Autobots became friends. While Megatron has consistently proven himself to be a powerful foe for Team Dai-Gurren and has fought several times, the biggest threat to Simon and his group regarding Transformers is the {{Omnicidal|Maniac}} PlanetEater, Unicron, who only desires to devour planets until there is none left, and Unicron himself is hellbent on destroying Team Dai-Gurren as he knows that the Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann would be a considerable threat to his existence and that he feels a need to snuff out whatever hope and Spiral Energy he can come across. |
| 77 | * Nia was initially a guardian representative in the House of Pantheon/FriendshipAndCamaraderie, serving as one-third of ''The Friendship Trio''. While she's since lost her position due to deciding to fully commit herself to helping out her husband and their fellow friends, she still maintains a great deal of authority and respect in her former house. Being a sweet, compassionate, and understanding girl helped Nia's popularity greatly and she's made a concentrated effort in not just keeping up with that reputation, but also making the most out of helping and inspiring others, much like Simon did. She made fellow friends with the pony, Fluttershy, given their very similar characteristics and the two serve as the moral center of their companies. Speaking of, Nia also got to learn about and become well-acquainted with the Mane Six, who champion and represent friendship via their Cutie Marks, and see Nia as a fellow relatable figure whom they could always count on. Given her own position as a princess, Nia also found common ground with Starfire, an extraterrestrial humanoid who was also the princess of Tamara, but circumstances regarding her rivalry with her sister, Blackfire, and being seen as an exile forced Starfire to come to Earth and become a hero in her own right. Given their similar events of being castaways, Nia and Starfire can understand each other better than many and they've come to try helping each other out on a lot of occasions, alongside them seeing each other as a good friends in need. |
| 78 | * Upon meeting each other again, Kamina was amused to discover that Kittan had a romantic affection for Yoko later on in his mortal life, and the two decided to squabble in a friendly rivalry over it, though they've made it a point to always look out for and fight alongside Yoko, no matter what. On a professional note, Yoko acts as a teacher and sometimes visits the House of Pantheon/{{School}} to provide as a substitute, though her headstrong and caring nature has led her to become quite popular in her own right. That's not to say some see Yoko as quite attractive there as well, but knowing that Kamina and Kittan have an affection for her, chances are that no one's going to try to hit on her, not to mention Yoko herself is a skilled user of sniper rifles, though she declines to have to use her combat skills in jobs like paid assassination for understandable reasons. On a similar note, Kittan, for all of his abrasive attitude, has a fondness for kids and sometimes stops by the House of Pantheon/ChildhoodAndAdolescence so that he can provide the residents there with some kind of aspiration and glee upon seeing a giant robot that they could see as cool. The fact that kids like Kittan back has helped, alongside him trying his best to be of good company with his niece from his sister, Kiyoh. |
| 79 | * Being part-man and part-shark, Viral's nature as a Beastman makes him naturally inclined to pay a visit to the Hall of Pantheon/AnthropomorphicAnimals, though whenever he's actually there, he tends to have various sorts of mixed feelings. He can generally find himself comfortable there and even help out its residents from time to time, but he also feels angsty in the sense that above all, his biggest desire is to start a family, but his Beastman physiology means that he can never really reach those desires and even if he managed to accomplish it, his immortality means that he would eventually outlast his family. He doesn't like to be pitied by the House of Pantheon/FamilyAndRelatives either and usually tends to keep this information to himself. Speaking of, Viral feels rather nervous about visiting that particular House as well, for obvious reasons, though that doesn't mean he means any ill intent, if anything, Viral will defend the House of Family and Relatives if he feels it's in danger. On a more personal note, while his type of Beastmen were villainous and were focused on subjugation, the likes of Khazrak and Gorthor crept him out, mainly because all they desired was destruction and carnage out of an intense misanthropic hate towards mankind. Viral quickly came to battle against those two Beastmen and was appalled to see just how much damage they were willing to cause, deciding that it's best that they are killed off quickly. Gorthor simply sees Viral as another pest to destroy, whereas Khazrak sees him as a WorthyOpponent worth matching wits against, sentiments which Viral did not reciprocate. |

| 119 | * Respects: [[Pantheon/GamingGenres John Carmack]] |
| 120 | * Divine Holder of: [[Pantheon/TheArmory The Zero Point Energy Field Manipulator]] |
| 121 | * Freeman's ascension into the Pantheon unfortunately brought with it a plague of headcrabs, which unfortunately started infesting various parts of the Pantheon. Keep them in check or they will try to… mate with your face. |
| 122 | ** However, Gordon's ascension also brought up [[Pantheon/TeamFortress2 Mann Co's ascension]] and finally Chell. It further escalated since his ascension paved the way for [[Pantheon/{{Dota2}} The Defenders of the Ancients]] to be ascended. |
| 123 | * It did not take long till the G-Man finally came into appearance after what seemed to be forever. His take on Gordon's ascension can be described as this: |
| 124 | --> '''G-Man:''' "[[DreamIntro Rise and shine, Mr. Freeman. Rise and shine.]]" |
| 125 | * Inmediately after ascending, Pinkie Pie, as usual, threw a welcome party for Gordon and invited him to make a speech to all the guests. However, she didn't realize that Gordon was [[TheVoiceless a man of a few words]] and as a result, stood awkwardly in front of everybody for 15 straight minutes. |
| 126 | * Gordon is viewed as one of the most important symbols of hope in the GUAG for being able to fight off one of the most important and dangerous armies of fiction, [[TheEmpire The Combine]]. This didn't sit well with the leaders of the other alliances and they are planning to get rid of Gordon. It won't be an easy task tough, cause Gordon isn't a man that's supposed to be in the [[RightManInTheWrongPlace correct place at the correct time]] |
| 127 | ** Due to this, almost every evil military officer or inquisitor have immediate chills whenever they see him. Colonel Mael Radec has the highest fear towards him and is willing to retreat if he sees him in combat. |
| 128 | * It is theorized that if Gordon and Yue teamed up, they would be able to figure out the weaknesses of every god in the Pantheon. Except [[Pantheon/PositiveReaction Fred Rogers]]. He has no weakness (although they could try). |
| 129 | ** The only reason that they haven't yet done this is because Yue is [[BrilliantButLazy too lazy to be bothered with it]], preferring to hang out in the library and learn techniques from the Pantheon of Magic, and Gordon [[HeroicMime isn't very talkative]]. They still hang out in the Library from time to time. |
| 130 | * One of the few deities [[TheEngineer Isaac Clarke]] hangs out with in his free time. They can be seen testing new prototypes of their new weapons. Recently, Isaac has been tinkering with Gordon's Gravity Gun to newer hights. |
| 131 | ** Ellen Ripley and Samus Aran has complemented Gordon's company, especially since he can kick alien ass better (or equally, in Samus' terms) than them. The Doom Slayer has seen him as another ally to join with, and Master Chief on the other hand applauded his achievements. Commander Shepard however, has seen heavy suspicion on his employer. |
| 132 | * A follower of Gordon's has claimed to have been receiving divine messages from on high, directly from Gordon himself and containing his innermost thoughts. For the benefit of Gordon's other followers, he has transcribed them into [[WebVideo/FreemansMind a series of videos]] posted online. The contents are...surprising, to say the least. The other deities were, [[HeroicMime as usual]], unable to get Gordon to say anything regarding the validity of the man's claims or the accuracy of the video content. However, since these videos may be the closest thing to a legitimate window into Gordon's thoughts that the Pantheon may ever have, and since they are widely regarded both inside and outside the Pantheon as being [[RuleOfFunny incredibly entertaining]], this man has been officially designated a prophet of Gordon and has been allowed to continue his work, which has since entered Season 2. |
| 133 | * Aside from the aformentioned series, there has been some sightings on Freeman's adventure, [[https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=aqRUjjuUl7U with the first sighting getting his suit]] and [[https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=l1SvvagUGuU another sighting]] recorded [[VisualInnuendo in what it looks like his suit "going inside" of him]]. Due to the nature of said recordings, children are not allowed to view it, though many perverted gods enjoyed watching it. |
| 134 | * Please, don't try to bring up the fact that [[DevelopmentHell his third game hasn't came out yet]]. He gets pretty sad when that happens. |
| 135 | * Was surprisingly approached by Nyarko and her friends, Cuuko and Hasta, saying they were one of his greatest fans for his "Crowbar Skills" and asked him if he could teach them some of his moves. |
| 136 | * With Breen's ascension, and later the Combine, Gordon has been on the run just to avoid elimination. Many deities are helping him out so he can recover from the waves of Combine Soldiers trying to dispose of him. |
| 137 | ** On the other hand, Gordon's assistance has finally arrived as the Vortiguants ascended just in time. They have sworn that they will assist Gordon in every way possible, to end the Combine menance once and for all. |
| 138 | * He has a bit of a hard time [[MemeticMutation keeping his crowbar intact]] whenever he's around [[Pantheon/{{Memes}} JonTron]]. |
| 139 | * Also has a spot in the House of [[Pantheon/CharacterRoles Narrative]]. |
| 140 | * ''"[[RightManInTheWrongPlace The right man in the wrong place can make all the difference in the world]]"''. |
| 141 | ** If you are wondering who said that, it was the G-Man's quote, describing him. |

| 156 | * Complicated Relationship with: [[Pantheon/{{Personalities}} Naota Nandaba]] |
| 157 | * Ascended after batting a satellite with her bass so hard, that ''it exceeded escape velocity'', to the point where it's currently whizzing past several galaxies. |
| 158 | * Her bass is considered to be one of the weirdest weapons in the Pantheon. Aside from it being [[ImpossiblyCoolWeapon a shotgun, rocket launcher, paddle, anti-tank baseball bat, machine gun, and hoverboard]], she can use it to channel something in people's heads called N.O. which allows them to manifest weapons out of their heads, the power of which depends on their emotional maturity. |
| 159 | * Despite generally being a selfish asshole, she's verily fond of people who try to act like someone they're not, and she wants to show them that it's not all bad being themselves. |
| 160 | * Hates Gendo Ikari because he reminds her a lot of Amarao, right down to [[{{Expy}} their appearances]]. She also hates anybody with BigOlEyebrows for the same reasons. |
| 161 | * Finds a lot of similarities with Nonon, a fellow RoseHairedSweetie with a knack for using instruments as weapons who [[Creator/MayumiShintani sounds the same]] as her. Amusingly enough, they bicker over their opinions regarding [[BigOlEyebrows Satsuki]]. She also gets along great with Panty, another HeroicComedicSociopath with [[LovableSexManiac a thing for sex]]. |
| 162 | * Once decided to [[TemptingFate play a prank on]] [[Pantheon/{{Emotion}} Asura]] by [[Creator/KariWahlgren pretending to be]] [[Pantheon/ReligiousPractice Mithra]], and him finding out that he was duped caused a rampage throughout the Pantheon. To the surprise of everyone, she survived, but only because of [[MindScrew how confused he was]]. |
| 163 | ** Speaking of pretending to be someone, she met up a biker wearing a kitty-eared helmet that sounded (well that would be correct if the person had a head but instead talked through a PDA) just like her. Haruko thinks that Celty is pretty cool though and would love to see what happens if the two fought. |
| 164 | * Proclaimed herself as Luffy's rival after hearing about his quest to become the King of the Pirates, a name shared with Atomsk, [[spoiler:[[JustForFun/IThoughtItMeant though she's more than ready]] to hijack his power when he succeeds]]. |
| 165 | * She really doesn't know what to think of [[Pantheon/BeastsAndFauna Beast Boy]] [[https://youtu.be/fDvYHj9z-Jg dressing up like her]]. |
| 166 | * Found herself in a [[http://doujinstyle.com/blog/2012/01/22/moe-moe-no-limit-off-beat-action-shooting/ fighting tournament]] with [[Pantheon/NarrativeGenresAToM Chiyo]], [[Pantheon/{{Vampires}} Arcueid]], and [[Pantheon/LawAndJustice Maya Fey]], among others. |
| 167 | * Was rather disappointed to hear [[https://youtu.be/Nkc4eBCy3Sk she wasn't the first]] to do the PlayboyBunny-hoverboarding bit. |
| 168 | * Sometimes shows up in the House of Sports (usually when Naota is there) to play baseball, and usually wins... [[CurbStompBattle by a large margin]]. She finally met a WorthyOpponent when she played against Mugen. By the end of their first game, they were the only ones still standing. |
| 169 | * Greeted Naota following his ascension [[CrashIntoHello by running him over]]. Despite trying to kill him once he got Atomsk's power, she understands his crush on her, [[PetTheDog and has an otherwise decent relationship with him]]. |
| 170 | * Is currently planning to leave the Pantheon for a short while to return to Earth, apparently gaining interest in a girl named Hidomi. Nobody knows if Naota or Canti will join her, or if she'll even bring her bass along with her. |

| 190 | * Yuna once mistook Ratchet for Tidus when he responded to her whistling, due to their [[Creator/JamesArnoldTaylor voices being very similar]]. After the confusion was settled, they decided to become friends, with Ratchet sometimes giving Yuna tips on shooting. |
| 191 | ** Speaking of familiar voices, Ratchet has taken quite a shine to Melody, since her voice [[Creator/TaraStrong reminds him]] of his LoveInterest, Talwyn Apogee. |
| 192 | * Due to being a lombax, Ratchet has taken on inventing as a hobby, and has invented a rocket sled, an anti-matter bathroom buddy, and "[[NoodleIncident stunderwear]]", which was said to be huge on Umbris. He even built his first ship at the young age of fourteen... only for it to crash into Novalis during the maiden voyage. |
| 193 | * Bringing up Ratchet's past, where he's a teenage lowlife obsessed with [[ItsPersonal getting payback with Captain Qwark]], and being a {{Jerkass}} to Clank, to the point where [[TheScrappy he was wildly hated by everyone]], is a major BerserkButton, as Ratchet [[IHatePastMe hates being reminded of his abusive self]]. |
| 194 | * Whatever you do, make sure to leave Veldin, Ratchet's home planet, alone; threaten to destroy it, and Ratchet will blow you up with his countless weapons, climaxing with the [=RYNO V=]. Chairman Drek and Dr. Nefarious learned this lesson the hard way. |
| 195 | * Is actually quite amused that Amigo has an all-star move which forces enemies to dance, similar to his Groovitron. The two have come to a agreement that they will use their respective moves to help their allies and distract their enemies. |
| 196 | * [[spoiler:Ratchet is, by accident, [[Pantheon/FriendsAndCompanions Gardevoir]]'s original trainer, having caught her as a Ralts in a Great Ball during a major conflict]]. |

| 210 | * Opposes: [[Pantheon/{{Physicians}} Plague Knight]] [[spoiler:actually complicated relationships with him and [[Pantheon/{{Gameplay}} Mona]]]] |
| 211 | * Enemies: In general, any forces of evil. |
| 212 | * Made his way into the Pantheon after some Gods took notice of him. They found his short stature, unusual (main) weapon, and his idealistic valor endearing. |
| 213 | * [[http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/yachtclubgames/shovel-knight Had requested the help of many to provide him supplies and resources for his quest to save his beloved from the Enchantress.]] The response was overwhelmingly positive, and the Shovel Knight is preparing for his journey as we speak. |
| 214 | ** After his journey, he found his place in the Pantheon, and was very pleased to learn that the title of God of Shields seems to be vacant. He attempted to get his beloved partner Shield Knight ascended to the position. But [[VideoGame/DynastyWarriors Zhang Xingcai]] decided to come in and take most of the tropes relating to shield uses into her position, though Shovel Knight hasn't stopped trying. |
| 215 | *** He finally manages to accomplish this when she ascended as Zhang's High Priestess. |
| 216 | * Most of the pantheon says he's what Mega Man and Link would be should the two ever fuse. Although he is happy to have them as his allies, Shovel Knight is rather annoyed at the statement. |
| 217 | * While travelling his land, he crossed paths with the VideoGame/GodOfWar, [[Pantheon/{{Sinners}} Kratos]]. After a fierce battle that required the use of many of his Relics, Kratos deemed him a worthy opponent, allowing Shovel Knight to rise to Intermediate status. He now occasionally teams up with Kratos in battle. |
| 218 | * [[http://borishehe.deviantart.com/art/Shovel-Knight-vs-the-Order-of-No-Fun-Allowed-488346561 Shovel Knight once accidentally made fun of Sven]], not realizing that he's more than just a Lesser God, which caused the Rogue Knight to get pumped up with God's Strength and smacked him silly. To make up for that blunder, Shovel Knight then issued a challenge to Chaos Knight... [[http://borishehe.deviantart.com/art/Shovel-Knight-vs-the-Order-of-No-Fun-Allowed-2-506541588 but that kinda failed too.]] |
| 219 | * After the ''Plague of Shadows'' DLC, a little doubt has been cast over Shovel Knight's hero-ness, given that [[spoiler:he attacks Plague Knight ''from behind'' after being defeated by him (twice, no less)]] and he [[spoiler:doesn't pull the Order of No Quarter back up from dangling after defeating them ([[VideoGameCaringPotential when a caring player could and would]])]]. Shovel Knight so far has not commented on this, even as the testifier himself made that accusation. Still, if the people in his world [[spoiler:regard Plague Knight as a hero]]… well, he'd rather not get involved with the PlagueDoctor at least. |
| 220 | ** At least, until he was told of WHY Plague Knight went on his quest; [[spoiler:to try and become powerful enough for Mona to love when, when in fact she already did love him.]] Because of this new information, he has decided to lay off being suspicious of him, but still warned him to not cause trouble, to while Plague Knight agreed while rolling his eyes underneath his mask. |
| 221 | * On one of his adventures, [[VideoGame/YookaLaylee he somehow ended up in a strange world where there were]] ''[[MediumAwareness three]]'' [[MediumAwareness dimensions]]. [[FirstTimeFeeling Unused to the feeling of being able to move in so many directions]], he found the whole experience extremely disorienting and unpleasant and reacted with horror when he was told that many other such worlds exist. Unwilling to let any obstacle, no matter how daunting, come between him and the possibility of treasure, he sought out worlds that were [[TwoAndAHalfD somewhere in between two and three dimensions]], hoping to build up a tolerance to the third dimension that way. |
| 222 | * Recently, the Blue Burrower located such a world, and returned from an adventure there [[VideoGame/{{Indivisible}} with a brand new story to tell]]. |
| 223 | ** And he's found himself teaming up with anti-hero Travis Touchdown after learning how Travis is [[VideoGame/TravisStrikesAgainNoMoreHeroes being launched into his own world]] much to everyone's shock. |
| 224 | * Found himself in an unexpected brawl after following a trail of gems to the temple of one Scrooge [=McDuck=]. The battle was set to be in his favor thanks to the fact that Scrooge's cane couldn't penetrate his armor [[spoiler:until Scrooge turned the tide, using a pair of rayguns to neutralize his inertia and friction--but not gravity--and used Shovel Knight's own Shovel Blade to [[OffWithHisHead decapitate the knight himself.]]]] After things settled down, they have become interested in one another, and Shovel Knight is thinking of giving Scrooge a Shovel Blade of his own. |
| 225 | * Has been [[VideoGame/IndiePogo invited to a tournament]] somewhat similar to that of [[Pantheon/LimbsAndJoints Master Hand]]'s. And fellow Indie Game deities like [[Pantheon/GameMechanics Sash Lilac]], [[Pantheon/SpaceManipulation Captain Viridian]], [[Pantheon/{{Disguises}} Octodad]], and [[Pantheon/LifeAndCreation Dust]] have been invited as well. |
| 226 | ** He was also [[https://youtu.be/S2gPvc9MMtk invited to]] [[VideoGame/BladeStrangers another tournament]], and was surprised to see that Isaac [[https://youtu.be/OZJxIp3wvvs got this same invitation,]] fighting with much more than just his tears this time. Despite the initial shock, Shovel Knight has deemed Isaac a respectable opponent and can be seen training with him. |
| 227 | ** And just recently, he was invited as an Assist Trophy to the Master Hand's tournament, Super Smash Bros., albeit just as an Assist Trophy. Even though he's not a full-fledged fighter, Shovel Knight considers this a great honor. |
| 228 | * One day while resting in his temple, he woke up to see Shield Knight laying down and resting in his lap. When confused and asked her about why she wasn't with Zhang, the goddess she was the high priestess of, Shield Knight showed him her official papers that made her a diety. [[spoiler:While overjoyed at this news, his joy turned to surprise as he saw it was Plague Knight and Mona whom helped her ascend. Despite this shock, he was more than happy to thank them, even offering to help Plague Knight as long as it doesn't involve destruction. To his surprise, Plague Knight simply asked if he could give him good romance advice with his relationship with Mona, to which the blue knight accepted.]] |
| 229 | ** Upon hearing Shield Knight was planning to set out on a trip to the TV World to conquer her Shadow, he insisted to the Investigation Team that he was coming along to help her. Despite the risks of running into ''Shovel Knight's'' own Shadow if he does, and that he would be unable to help Shield Knight should they beat it and grant him ''his'' Persona, he decided that it was worth it and the Team relented. The mission was a success, and Shield Knight managed to obtain her Persona as a result. |
| 230 | * He was deeply impressed by the many honorable knights in the Pantheon such as [[Pantheon/PeopleOfFaith Artix von Krieger]], [[Pantheon/{{Monarchs}} Artoria Pendragon]], [[Pantheon/HeroicRoles Ky Kiske]], [[Pantheon/{{Underclothes}} Sir Arthur]], and [[Pantheon/{{Titles}} Uther the Lightbringer]]. Shovel Knight was even more thrilled to learn about the [[Pantheon/GUAGSacredKnights Order of the Sacred Knights]] and joined it without hesitation along with Shield Knight. He sees [[Pantheon/{{Heroism}} Cosmos]] as a worthy liege and would fight in her name should she call upon him. Cosmos simply told Shovel Knight to continue fighting for what he believed in. |

| 252 | * Conflicting Opinion: [[Pantheon/TypesOfMadness AJ Lee]] |
| 253 | * Kitana is the princess of Edenia, daughter of King Jerrod and Queen Sindel and for the longest time one of Shao Kahn's personal and best assassins. She grew up believing he was his biological father, until the Mortal Kombat universe in Outworld made her realize he wasn't her real father but a conqueror who merged Outworld with her home realm of Edenia. Since then, Kitana has joined the Earthrealm warriors battled against the forces of whoever wanted to take over their realm, even gaining back control over Edenia. Given her being one of the signature fighters that use {{Combat Hand Fan}}s, Kitana was later granted godhood after being recommended by Liu Kang. |
| 254 | * While the Kitana here is a force of good, a different timeline had the same events play out differently. Her mother was revived and strenghtened with the soul of Shang Tsung, which caused the deaths of not only her but several other Earthrealm warriors. Said fighters also ended up becoming revenants thanks to Quan Chi, all of them serving both Quan Chi and Shinnok it their attempt at taking over Earthrealm and developing a hatred for Raiden. This version of Kitana even managed to become the Empress of the Netherrealm after Shinnok's with Liu Kang as Emperor while also being the default holder of the title. [[Videogame/MortalKombat11 Some timeline rifts]] resulted in the heroic Kitana appearing in the pantheon and defeating her revenant self to seek control of the temple and the title, earning her the right to be the representative of the trope. |
| 255 | ** Speaking of her revenant self, she is not exactly proud of becoming the Empress of the Netherrealm after Shinnok's defeat and set to right the wrongs she committed in the pantheon, first by defeating Shao Kahn and becoming the new Kahn of Outworld, an action that caused the new Kitana to be showered by praise. She also kickstarted an attempt by the past versions of some of her friends to seize control of the temples of the pantheon from their revenants counterparts, especially Liu Kang and Kung Lao. |
| 256 | * It's no secret that she and Liu Kang have had eyes for [[ShipTease each other for a very long time]] but several circumstances have kept them from making it official. That all changed after [[spoiler:Kronika was defeated. With his newfound powers, Fire God Liu Kang chose Kitana as his partner in being the new Time Keepers and Kitana accepted being at his side.]] No one knows what they plan to do after that but she and Liu Kang have stated that they will let things play out naturally. |
| 257 | * Like many who became revenants, she had a falling out with Raiden, which later made her meet new mentors in the form of Thrall and Rachel Alucard. Things took a dark turn when her pantheon self became a revenant once more but the events of the [[Videogame/MortalKombat11 time merging]] caused Kitana to change for the better, as stated above. She and Raiden became allies once more and she still keeps in touch with both Thrall and Rachel as a form of gratitude for taking care of her. She is a bit closer to the latter given her [[Creator/MelaLee vocal resemblance to her best friend and confidant Jade]], acting as a sort of replacement until she eventually finds her place in the pantheon. |
| 258 | * The fact that her revenant self received visions where she would have saved Edenia if Raiden hadn't tampered with the timeline was a huge reason Kitana stayed a revenant unlike her other comrades. However, she later discovered that these visions where just a possible timeline of many and that Raiden is hardly to blame, but the Lich King Arthas Menethil is partly responsible for feeding this thoughts to Kitana, making her relation to others start to fall apart. After becoming Kahn of Outworld and finding out that she herself [[YouCantGoHomeAgain will never grew accustomed to Edenian culture after being raised for years in Outworld]], she decided to forego this vision and swore to take down Arthas. This in turn brought her a new ally in the form of Bolvar Fordragon, the other Lich King, since he too wanted to dethrone Arthas' position as the leader of the Scourge and Kitana believing he was the LesserOfTwoEvils, she agreed on Bolvar's terms. |
| 259 | * Doesn't like AJ Lee, despite the fact she once dressed as her in a Halloween match. This enmity originated for the fact that AJ Lee joined forces with Mileena. However, after a wonderful performance in [=WrestleMania=] with Paige to take out the Bella Twins, Kitana changed her perception of the Geek Goddess. |
| 260 | * There used to be a time where Kitana could turn into a rabbit and then [[KillerRabbit proceeded to devour her opponents]]. She hasn't displayed that ability for a long time but those who have witnessed her do that have compared it to the Killer Rabbit of Caerbannog, Kitana being surprised that such a creature even existed but she isn't exactly flattered by the comparison. |
| 261 | * While being of RoyalBlood, Kitana doesn't feel like one herself, mostly thanks to the years she's been raised as a trained assassin under Shao Kahn. She did however end up meeting a few princesses in the House of Pantheon/{{Royalty}} that were curious about her position as Outworld's Kahn and wondering if it had anything to do with being a Queen. She first met Princesses Peach and Zelda, who welcomed Kitana and showed her the ins and outs of the Royalty house while sharing their respective histories with Bowser and Ganondorf, which Kitana found no different from Shao Kahn. |
| 262 | ** She also came accross someone who at first she thought was another clone of her [[Creator/KariWahlgren thanks to a similar sounding voice]] (To give her credit, she grew a bit paranoid after Mileena was created) but it turned out to be King Artoria Pendragon. Both shared the same desire for justice and a just rule for their people, while bonding over their shared affection over another person. While Artoria thinks she wasn't the best ruler of Camelot, Kitana believes she has done her best. |
| 263 | * Naturally hates and despises conquerors and {{Evil Overlord}}s, Shao Kahn being chief among them. Her "father" tried to give her a warm welcome by trying to bash her skull the moment she stepped a foot in the pantheon but thankfully he was stopped before doing so. He is still sore about being defeated by Sindel's ungrateful daughter and is plotting to take the throne of Kahn back, whatever means necessary. |
| 264 | ** Emperor Palpatine is another one on Kitana's kill list, as his rule on TheEmpire has been comparable or arguably worse that Shao Kahn's rule on Outworld. To that end she tried to form an alliance with his opposition, finding common ground with Leia Organa and establishing an alliance between the rebels and Kitana's Outworld army. |
| 265 | * [[Videogame/MortalKombatVsDCUniverse Kitana was one of several who found themselves involved in a merging of realms]], meeting several heroes and villains of the DC Universe along the way. During said time she ended up meeting Superman and Wonder Woman, who she came to admire given their dedication towards justice. On that note, Darkseid is another EvilOverlord she seeks to take down, not only for what he represents but also because he fused with her father during said events and tried to take over the combined realms. |
| 266 | ** Then she ended up hearing about the [[Videogame/InjusticeGodsAmongUs alternate universe]] where Superman became a tyrant and she was distraught to learn that one of her allies could fall so low, reminding Kitana of her revenant self but nonetheless she has no pity for Regime Superman . From that universe she also heard about Starfire, a tamaran princess who lost her home planet and [[Creator/KariWahlgren sounded a lot like her]] and befriended her after bonding over their similar backgrounds. |
| 267 | * She is a bit apprehensive of clones, considering her relationship with Mileena. Even if she is just an EvilKnockoff of her with a [[ButterFace less than gracious face]], deep down she does care a bit about Mileena, in some timelines even willing to forgive her and offer her sister to join her. Following Mileena's death at the hands of D'Vorah, Kitana keeps one of her sais as a memento, possibly as a TragicKeepsake. That said, Mileena still wants to outdo her sister in any way she can. |
| 268 | * As the divine holder of the CombatHandFan, she does like to train those who want to use them for kombat. However, given her LadyOfWar fighting style, she favours more graceful warriors and that's why she likes to spar with Mai Shiranui and Yukiko Amagi. |
| 269 | * ''"You will learn respect!"'' |

| 287 | * Admires: [[Pantheon/VillainousArchetypes Barbatos Goetia]] |
| 288 | * Many are known for using all sorts of weapons, especially in the House of Weapons. Only one can make such deadly use out of mundane weaponry. That distinction belongs to Bulleye. The assassin ascended after winning a sharpshooting contest in the House of Pantheon/{{School}}, by using nothing but pens and playing cards. The GUAE sees him as a highly prized asset to eliminate targets. |
| 289 | ** No one else has suffered from him as much as Daredevil. It all started from the beginning when he offed Elektra and went on a rampage from there, killing Karen Page and even impersonating as the Man Without Fear for a while. Matt managed to deal sweet revenge when ''he'' impersonated Bulleye, leading to a battle of the ages. |
| 290 | * Also enjoys tormenting Daredevil allie Black Widow and almost killed her a number of times. She may have advanced tech at her side, but Bulleye's unpredictability has proven too much to overcome. |
| 291 | * Was part of Norman Osborn's band of supervillains posing as heroes during ComicBook/DarkReign. To him, it was a joyous occasion where he got to kill anyone with impunity. |
| 292 | * His foray into the Dark Avengers pissed off Clint to no end. Angered at Lester for taking the Hawkeye gimmick from him, he made his ''own'' costume called Ronin to challenge him. It didn't end well for Clint, especially without his arrows. The two share an animosity ever since. |
| 293 | * Was also hired by Mysterio for a time. While it seems to be no big deal, that job was the one that got him to kill Karen Page, Daredevil's long-time love interest. To that he is eternally grateful to Mysterio for giving him the opportunity. |
| 294 | * Had a memorable showdown against Deadpool during his Dark Avengers gig. He thought that the Merc with a Mouth had no chance now that he has ''actual'' weapons, but Wade stymied his efforts to kill him every time. Deadpool makes sure to tell the story on how he avoided death that day, to Bullseye's chagrin. With that said, he admits enjoying the hunt and the fact that Deadpool can come back wanting for more. He even attended the merc's funeral. |
| 295 | * Has awaited a showdown with the Batman, a man he believes he can defeat. While the superhero is notorious for his [[CrazyPrepared prep time]], Bullseye thinks he could ambush Batman in an advantageous position with lots of deadly toys. |
| 296 | * Is at an eternal battle with Jackie Chan over the use of weapons. Jackie may well be the only other person in the Pantheon who knows how to use any weapon at his disposal as well as Lester. Bullseye saw an even match when the two fought. The battle used every weapon available in the House of Weapons. Just when it looked like Bullseye would win, Jackie brought out the dreaded ladder. The match ended under a minute after that. Reeling from the loss, Bullseye seeks revenge, first by mastering the use of the ladder. |
| 297 | * His ability of killing {{Love Interest}}s have gained favor of the likes of Tsukuyomi and Kotonoha. He is welcome at both their temples at any time. |
| 298 | * His greatest foe may not be Daredevil at all... but the credibility of his kills. Lester's rage for the Mythbusters is only rivals by that of Daredevil. He laments at every potential kill weapon that was deemed unrealistic, neutering his effectiveness. Even when the show has ended, he swore to give the two and their heralds gruesome deaths. With that said, the Mythbusters have planted many traps around their temple to keep the assassin at bay. |
| 299 | * Sees Barbatos Goetia's word as the gospel as Bullseye hopes to have the same dreaded reputation as a HeroKiller. While he has killed a number of D-tier heroes and villains and amassed a frightening reputation, he has yet to claim the coveted status. |
| 300 | * Wishes he could stick around with Gauron long enough for them to become friends. But Gauron has proven to be too psychotic even for him for extended periods of times. His best chance of a teamup is when they are both after the same target. Once the job is done or if they fail, the two part ways. |

| 318 | * EvilCounterpart of: [[Pantheon/{{Thieves}} Sly Cooper]] |

| 320 | * It was believed that Roman Torchwick was supplying weaponry from the mortal plane to the GUAE through Sundowner. Shawn Spencer was asked if he could use his (fake) psychic powers to lend a hand in an investigation. Turned out Roman was involved, and was put on trial before the Court of Gods. A testimony from Team RWBY (particularly Ruby Rose and Blake Belladonna) acted as the final nail and put Roman under the watch of the GUAG. |
| 321 | ** However, Sundowner saw fit to pull some strings with Senator Armstrong's political influence and get Roman put into the House of Weapons and made an official part of the GUAE. Of course, this clearly upset Team RWBY and they are making sure to keep an eye out for whatever Torchwick is up to. |
| 322 | * Roman generally doesn't like a lot of other criminals, but will work with them when it suits his interest, hence enabling Sundowner's war profiteering. He also has made a deal with various War criminals and terrorists and sells them the stolen dust that his gang got from Remnant and is currently held in his temple. |
| 323 | ** He also partnered himself with fellow arms dealer Gray Mann. The old man got instantly hooked in the value of Remnant dust and the potential weapons that could be created out of it and instantly hired Torchwick for the job. Roman isn't very thrilled about all of this but he was promised a good check if he complied. |
| 324 | ** Another ArmsDealer worth mentioning would be Marcus Kincaid, who stands as Roman's biggest business rival in the pantheon. The two don't really mind each other's activities, but when it comes to Weapon trafficking, [[SeriousBusiness things get serious]]. |
| 325 | * He's tried to buy some Platinum Mechs off Varrick, though the latter grew a conscience and elected not to do business with Roman. The two have formed a resentment of each other as a result. |
| 326 | * Some gods mistake him for Alex Delarge from a distance and Roman actually likes the spirit of the guy, saying he would make the perfect right hand for him. He even handed him a customized cane. |
| 327 | * Once was challenged for his title by none other than Sly Cooper, with the Racoon believing that Torchwick was no match for his fighting prowess. He actually understimated Torchwick's fighting capabilities and was forced to retreat. Despite being criminals, both Torchwick and Cooper can't stand seeing each other. |
| 328 | ** Speaking of other cane fighters, he was surprised by the ability of Ripper Roo's cane to create explosives and believes it could be the perfect weapon for him. He's planning to steal it from the kangaroo. |
| 329 | * Roman has seen [[Pantheon/{{Heirs}} Princess Peach]] using a parasol in combat, and was reminded of the weapon of his henchwoman, Neo. Although he thinks that Peach lacks the style and finesse of Neo. |
| 330 | ** But later came across [[Pantheon/PersonalAppearance Nui Harime]], who would easily pass as her creepy twin sister who can actually speak. He likes to hang out with Nui and considers working with her but her [[Pantheon/BetrayalAndTreachery Boss]] doesn't really trust a goon like him and he isn't interested in the whole Life fibers bussiness. |
| 331 | * He gets along surprisingly well with The Shredder, given that after their initial appearance, [[BreakoutVillain they became popular enough to reappear again]]. |
| 332 | * Felicia recently employed his services into increasing the power of her gang. Roman noticed how similar her criminal actions were to his own boss not to mention [[MsFanservice the outfits they wear]]. |
| 333 | * Suffered DeathByNegativity at the hands of a Griffon Grimm in his mortal incarnation. Some of his followers claim he still lives, despite [[Creator/RoosterTeeth his superiors]] confirming his demise. |
| 334 | ** Even then, [[spoiler:he is actually is glad that his death means he no longer holds loyalty towards Cinder and he is free to do whatever he wants. Although he really missed Remnant.]] |
| 335 | ** Though he was surprised that another deity from Remnant also perished the same day he did, [[spoiler:Pyrrha Nikos. While they really don't like each other, at least they joke about their being [[MemeticMutation cursed because of their hair color.]]]] |
| 336 | * For reasons relating to [[spoiler:his mortal demise]], he gets bursts of irrational hatred when he sees a griffon in his sights. The representative Goddess, Gilda, isn't at all amused with this animosity. |
| 337 | ** For another similar reason, he also despises the hell out of Monstro, [[spoiler:being SwallowedWhole is not fun at all]]. |
| 338 | ** The fact that [[spoiler:the trigger of Roman's death was extreme negativity in the form of anger and grief that attracted the Grimm]] caused [[Pantheon/CombatMagic Aqua]] to compare him to [[Pantheon/FamilyAndRelatives Lady Tremaine]], [[spoiler:who also suffered a KarmicDeath from a monster attracted to negative emotions (in her case, hatred)]]. |
| 339 | * Has, to the surprise of many, joined his enemies in a time of mourning for [[Creator/MontyOum their creator's]] [[DiedDuringProduction passing]]. When asked why, he just goes, "What, [[EvenEvilHasStandards I'm not allowed to grieve?]] I have feelings too, you know." Roman has since paid his respects at [[Pantheon/{{Workmanship}} his shrine]] as well. |
| 340 | * Locus came to his attention due to his "professional" attitudes and having a somewhat similar voice to Roman, leading him to consider hiring the space pirate for a job. [[spoiler:Given Locus has since [[HeelFaceTurn left his immoral ways]], a disappointed Roman was forced to abandon the idea]]. |
| 341 | * Along with his herald Neo, Roman is attempting some shady endeavours in his off time, such as ice cream that is [[SuspiciouslySpecificDenial most definitely not poison]], energy drinks that might be biochemical hazards, badly made motorcycles and attorneys specialized in faulty businesses. |
| 342 | ** He was very pleased to see Neo ascend into Pantheon, further increasing his network of allies. And though her, he would also meet Hazama and Hilda. Both Roman and Hazama feel a sense of kinship between them, leading to two to become fast allies. Hazama even offered to help out expanding his trade. Hilda initially offered to have him join Amnesia, but Roman politely declined. Not one to miss out on a potential ally (both of them), they still do business and aid one another when needed. |
| 343 | * Once he heard news of the ascension of [[Pantheon/OtherWeaponTropes Adam Taurus]], the two formed an alliance. However, despite their shared hatred of team RWBY, Roman is wary of Adam's true intention, remembering Adam's extremist views towards humans like himself. But for now, they have a common enemy. |

| 361 | * Opposed by/Opposes: The rest of the House of Pantheon/CrimeAndTransgressions |
| 362 | * The quality of life between a Nest and the Backstreets couldn’t be any more different than night and day. Whereas in a Nest you live under one of the many different [[MegaCorp Wings]] and have to work so as to not get booted out your future is, at the very least, secure as befitting the status of someone in the upper echelons of society. The Backstreets, however, is a different matter. These densely spread-out alleyways and shantytowns house all sorts of people looking to make a living. While these parts of the City are ruled by [[TheSyndicate the Hand of the Backstreets]] alongside lesser Syndicates, Fixers, and local neighborhood watches crime is still rampant as expected of a universe where HiredGuns is as common as common can be. |
| 363 | ** Bad as it is, though, the Backstreets are at their very worst when a “Night in the Backstreets” falls. Running from 3:13 to 4:34 AM in this time period all crimes, no matter how savage or vile, are permitted, and taking evidence and trying to investigate whatever happened there will earn you a one-way ticket to hell courtesy of a [[HumanoidAbomination Claw]]. It’s here metallic figures wielding hooks known as Sweepers crawl out of the woodwork to sweep the streets of human trash and any proof that transpired within that time. Like the winds of a hurricane, they’ll tear through anyone unlucky enough to cross their path, and anyone with some sense of self-preservation knows to turn back immediately after seeing their piercing red gaze from the shadows. |
| 364 | * The Sweepers made their name known in the House of Pantheon/CrimeAndTransgressions after a family of them crawled up from nowhere and consumed anyone who was out way too late at night for one reason or another. They were quite surprised to find that they were not in the City anymore after having exterminated quite a number of lesser gangs in the House. Due to having disrupted the hierarchy’s intricately connected web it didn’t take long for the House’s authority to try and uproot the threat of them before the problem festered and their combined might allowed them to succeed in doing this... for about two weeks. Then the Sweepers came back with a vengeance after the initial attack by setting up dens in not only that House but also various other Houses as though nothing happened. |
| 365 | * To the uninitiated, the Sweepers are just a bunch of mindless predators that stalk the night. People who think this way don’t last very long for this kind of ignorance gets you hacked apart by Sweepers. It’s said that their biggest strength is organizational power being able to hunt in packs and coordinate their movement even in the labyrinthine Backstreet’s alleyways. In fact, they even have a proper language consisting of a string of numbers and upon translation (assuming it isn’t amateurish) they’re actually quite talkative, eloquent, and [[AffablyEvil polite]]. The last point is especially prominent with how Sweepers care for each other, including the Mother that lead their families. In fact, they actually ascended themselves when the first family responsible for the initial attack told their neighbors of the Pantheon leading to them moving in and their Mother finalized the decision. And speaking of, they’re vocal on how truly foreign the Pantheon is to them such as for example being able to hold actual coherent conversations with people or the ubiquity of firearms as from their world they’re, for a number of different reasons, [[GunsAreWorthless impractical against actually competent opponents]]. |
| 366 | * The technology to be turned into a Sweeper is patented by [[ShadowDictator the Heads of the World]], who leads the rest of the Wings and serves as the governing body of the City. Between the Head’s general cruelty, the existence of the Night in the Backstreets, and the name “Sweepers”, it doesn’t take very long to realize they exist to further cull the population of human trash. Due to this, some gods have gone on to accuse the many dictators in the Pantheon of having a hand in their ascension although if one by chance asks a Sweeper personally they claim that such points are baseless: While not necessarily the Head’s direct underlings, they answer only to them and them alone. |
| 367 | * As a result of the aforementioned attack, they’re largely unpopular with many of the House of Crime’s residents and have bolstered their forces in case of future attacks at night, at least when concerning their operations. Apparently, Sweepers have the decency to leave the more residential areas alone for that is a Taboo of the City, something that can’t be broken even with the Night of the Backstreets in play. While some have taken to adapt to it by having the Sweepers serve as an incentive to not continually fail your superiors, there have been those who have pushed back against the Sweepers encroaching on their grounds and giving a reality check on their dominance in the night. The vigilante speedster Godspeed easily executed quite a number of Sweeper dens after one family tried pushing onto the House’s red-light district. Gunvolt, after looking into some disappearances for an ally of his, also cut down on their numbers upon finding out it was their doing. As far as more organized crime goes, they’ve also been hard by the 3rd Street Saints’ Leader as well as Bucciarati’s Gang when their numbers started to grow once more. Giorno and Bucciarati are especially appalled at the fact they literally exist to KillThePoor and other undesirables. |
| 368 | * Cybernetics and body augmentation is a common procedure within the City, and the Sweepers fall under the more extreme side of it. Essentially, they’re liquid flesh encased and held together by the dark metal suit. If they run out, they die. To survive, they use their large red hooks to dig into people and liquify them to refuel themselves. This, combined with their persistence to where they can [[AutoRevive reportedly revive themselves]], makes them tough to put down. Luckily, they mainly move at night unless prompted by the Head or other special circumstances. |
| 369 | * Screwed up as the City is, cannibalism is still seen as repulsive though this hasn’t stopped the practice as evidenced by the existence of multiple cannibal syndicates and other such butchers. In fact, the Backstreets of District 23 is the worst offender compared to everywhere else with groups such as The Eight Chefs seeking to pursue the ultimate flavor by any means necessary. With that said, sharing the same taste doesn’t necessarily make one friends with the Sweepers as shown with the dispute between the ones in Nest L and strange, cannibalistic tailors The Carnival. The former even describes the latter as “despicable filth”. The trend runs true in the Pantheon as they clash with other maneaters like those in Pantheon/FleshEaters and are defensive of the territory they control in the House of Pantheon/{{Slaughter}}. Even Hannibal Lecter, while noting their manners, knows it is more trouble than it is worth to try and deal with them. |
| 370 | * While alliances aren’t that common for Sweepers some families have started working with Specimen 11. Sometimes, groups of their own can be seen accompanying the Food Demon, an unfortunate sight to anyone being chased down by it. Whether they’re under the spell of its “beef” or they simply took the advantageous opportunity to dine with their families easier no one can really say but it’s a fearsome sight nonetheless. While still on the topic of alliances there have reports of Dark Brotherhood members conversing with Sweepers after delivering some of their kills to them, most likely to dispose of their trace should it be requested. Consider it as a testament to how far-reaching the Dark Brotherhood’s influence goes behind the scenes to have some sort of agreement with monstrous cannibals like them. |
| 371 | * Given their rising presence in the Pantheon, some of those in the Allies’ forces had assumed the Sweepers were apart of the Nazis, like some variant of the Nazi Storm Elites. They’re not and are otherwise completely unrelated[[note]]must have been thinking of [[Film/FrankensteinsArmy something else]][[/note]]. They only really get to fight them in urban areas, but that doesn’t make them any less dangerous despite to come across despite only wielding large hooks. Lt. Randall and Sgt. Bill Taylor, as well as Waffen Storm Leaders and Storm Elites, can attest to this being the first to encounter them. Cpl. Boyd Travers is reminded of the times he faced gas mask-wearing enemies in urban warfare such as the aforementioned Storm Elite. While he’s mainly preoccupied with the Nazi war machine, he doesn’t tolerate the Sweepers trying to feast upon his comrades. |
| 372 | * Implacable, numerous, decked out in full cybernetic bodies, and very much organized, there’s little wonder as to why they’re universally feared. [[WouldHurtAChild Children probably have the biggest reason to fear them out of everyone]]. Either they kill them like they do with everyone else or “accompany” them, which is a nice term for a Sweeper kidnapping them and turning them into another Sweeper where they would be nurtured by their Mother. Due to this, the Sweepers were added to the ever-expanding list of deities barred from the House of Pantheon/ChildhoodAndAdolescence as if it wasn’t big enough already. With all the security and surveillance Sweepers don’t even bother approaching the House to begin with as they’re more comfortable on the outskirts between the different houses. Still, you could never be too careful. |
| 373 | ** Some believe that the Sweepers share some solidarity with other deities who go after children. While a reasonable enough assumption on paper, the truth is that no such unity is a given just because of that. Sweepers do have their own families which would, after all, include children as well dubious context behind their conception aside. They view with the Coachman and SCP-993 with the same amount of disdain as anyone else and warn the younger members of their depravity. The hatred for the latter is quite strange since him teaching young Sweepers about cannibalism and murder… wouldn’t really change much. Though, perhaps they’re wary of the clown poisoning their values of love and family that is present in all Sweepers. |

| 426 | ** Aside of stabbing people with it, he also has a good aim with them. He was once able to a triple 300 on a dartboard using forks, which even made [[Pantheon/{{Weapons}} Bullseye]] slightly impressed. |
| 427 | * He has gotten some help from people from House of Love, mainly Keima Katsuragi, to help him overcome his [[CannotSpitItOut inability to confess his feelings]]. He really doesn't like the help, especially if it involves Dating Sims. [[spoiler:He had enough of them after being stuck in one.]] |
| 428 | * Malign Franchise/CthulhuMythos around him at your own risk. He is a huge fan of those works and will stab the person who malign them with a fork. However, he hasn't gathered enough courage to talk to the man behind the writings himself, even though he has the chance to do so. |
| 429 | * He might seem normal, but he actually has one supernatural ability on him: [[spoiler:[[RippleEffectProofMemory the ability to not be affected by shifts on time-space continuum.]] ]] GUAG wishes to have him use this ability to assist them, due of him being rather low profile, but Mahiro himself doesn't like to be dragged into things like this. He can also resist the effects of [[YouCannotGraspTheTrueForm seeing creature's true form]] more easily, though whenever or not this is an actual ability or [[UnfazedEveryman he has simply gotten used to it]] is in question. |
| 430 | * Really only friends with Issei due the fact that he needed to be the voice of reason for Cuuko regarding the accident between the two of them. He doesn't hate him, but he doesn't talk to him that much. |
| 431 | * Sort of the ''de facto'' leader for the Special Lovers Squad's "Love Interest" portion, but due the fact that its not even a proper group, it is just a silly title. Though it did make him befriend Almaz due of feeling like they aren't that different regarding their adventures and Gray due the fact that Nyarko and Juvia are rather similar. |
| 432 | * He is sort of confused on how many goddesses [[Creator/AyaHisakawa sound]] [[Creator/KikukoInoue like]] her mother, Yoriko, like [[Pantheon/LoveAndAffection Belldandy]]. |
| 433 | * [[spoiler:Officially dropped the "[[UnwantedHarem Unwanted Love]]" part of his title after he himself kissed Nyarko in the lips after she said she loves him. And then he did it again. And then was sort of fine Nyarko kissing him the next day. The House of Love went "FINALLY!" in unison. Their only concern now is the fact that this development was due of Ato-ko so that she can break their relationship one day...]] |
| 434 | ** [[spoiler:As it turns out, Mahiro did end up marrying Nyarko... and more or less losing his SAN Points right after the wedding. Fortunately for Mahiro, the two of them aren't married in the Pantheon due of some [[AdaptationDistillation adaption problems]] and only he remembers it, though he is considering that if he did decide on that, maybe he should make it official... while making sure he doesn't regret his decision this time.]] |
| 435 | * Also present in House of Pantheon/{{Romance}}. |

| 454 | * A student from Taiyo High which is working toward a career in journalism, she ascended in the Pantheon after getting a big scoop about the mysterious kidnapping of the students, and helping the Chainperson and Pacific High School students to find Kurow and his cronies. |
| 455 | ** She was happy to see her classmate [[Pantheon/{{School}} Batsu]], as well as his rival Roy (which also helped her in one of her investigations) once again. Now it's just a matter of time for the other Taiyo High students (Hinata, Kyosuke and Chairperson), as well as her teacher Hayato ascend. |
| 456 | * Ran's skills with her camera are formidable, even though she still have to reload it a lot of times. She also fights with [[PaperFanOfDoom paper fans]] and [[ThrowTheBookAtThem books]]. Yeah, her combat style is that weird. |
| 457 | * One of her hobbies is to take photos of the Pantheon members and their domains. [[IntrepidReporter Which also includes evil ones, unsurprisingly.]] Unfortunately, there's some places that she can't go, given that even that she is now a goddess, she is still a human. |
| 458 | ** Ran's amazing photography skills make her rivals with fellow photographers [[Pantheon/InvestigativeWork Frank West]] (she was a follower of him previously) and [[Pantheon/{{Popularity}} Peter Parker]]. It's unknown if she knowns the latter's secret identity. |
| 459 | ** She called the attention of [[Pantheon/CommunitiesAndSolitude Terra]] because of her friend Edgar. And much like Ran, he fights with a lot of gadgets (Albeit not books or paper fans like she expected). |
| 460 | * During one of her big scoops, she met up with [[Pantheon/{{Personality}} The Saber Marionettes]]. One of them, Bloodberry, also happens to [[Creator/AkikoHiramatsu sounds like her]]. In retribuition, Ran take some photos of Bloodberry as well as the other marionettes. |
| 461 | ** In another of her scoops, she interviews [[Pantheon/{{Heroism}} the Blitz Team]]. During the interviews, Leena noticed that Ran sounded similar to Harry's sister Mary Champ. Doesn't help that Ran also liked the Liger Zero, going so far as to calling the Liger Zero "my cute little snowflake" and taking some photos of him. Leena was not amused and tried to shoo her a lot of times. |
| 462 | ** She also meet [[Pantheon/{{Heroism}} Van and Fiona]], thanks for the rumors that [[spoiler:Bit could or could not be their descendant]]. During the interview, she also noticed his Blade Liger, calling him "my cute little skyflake". Unlike Leena, Fiona seems to like Ran. |
| 463 | * When she was in a scoop in the House of War (don't ask why), she found [[Pantheon/MilitaryAndWarfare Ryoma]], thinking that he was her PE teacher Hayato Nekketsu. It doesn't help that he and Hayato look similar. Ran also have a similar problem with [[Pantheon/PersonalAppearance Haohmaru]]. |
| 464 | ** Went to the House of Weapons after discovering about a swordsman named Hayato, which she thinks that he is her PE teacher. Unfortunately for her, he was a different [[Pantheon/{{Weapons}} Hayato]]. On the other hand, Hayato's skill with his plasma sword is just as good as the Taiyo High PE Teacher's kendo skills. Also met up with his girlfriend [[Pantheon/PersonalAppearance June]], and take some photos of the her gymnastic skills. |
| 465 | ** Going to the House of Sports, she interviewed [[Pantheon/{{Sports}} Uzu Sanageyama]] about his kendo skills. During the interviews, Ran noticed that Sanageyama [[Creator/NobuyukiHiyama sounded similar]] to her classmate Batsu. Well, speaking of him, he once had a fight with [[Pantheon/{{Costumes}} Ryuko]], motivating Ran to interview the rebellious female student. |
| 466 | * Ran has a great admiration for [[Pantheon/{{Costumes}} Athena Asamiya]], given that she remind her of the Chainperson, likely in appearance. In fact, she wishes one day take some photos of Athena in an official concert. |
| 467 | * Plans to create a group of jornalism in a distant future. |
| 468 | * [[Pantheon/{{Fathers}} Homer Simpson]] is not found of her, given that every time that he does something funny or weird, she always take some photos of him, not helped by the fact that some of the photos are also titled "Local Man Ruins Everything". It's a RunningGag in the Pantheon. |
| 469 | * No relation to [[Pantheon/{{Gaming}} Dan Hibiki]], although there's rumors and speculations that Ran is his sister. Ran also recognizes Dan's fighting style, the Saikyo-ryu, which is the same style of the Chainperson of Taiyo High. |
| 470 | ** While Ran is most annoyed by Dan, she at least have a good view of his friend [[Pantheon/{{Popularity}} Sakura]]. That's because Ran recognized her as one of the students of Tamagawa Minami High School. |
| 471 | ** Confused [[Pantheon/{{Costumes}} Ibuki]] with one of her classmates given that Ibuki's school outfit is similar of a Taiyo High student one. She didn't care, but liked the remark. |
| 472 | ** Of course, Ran also noticed that [[Pantheon/FightingAndCombat Ryu]] and [[Pantheon/{{Gaming}} Ken's]] fighting style is reminiscent of Hideo Shimazu, a teacher in Justice High. She didn't lose time and interviewed those two. |
