He doesn't like the human deities of the Mother series either

• Dislikes: The Ebon Dragon, Black Mage Evilwizardington
• Respects: Sauron
• Nobody knows where the Dark Dragon came from, but what is known is that he is the first dragon to turn evil. Capable of conjuring Shade Demons for his aid, the Dark Dragon believes dragons and magical creatures should be supreme and humans are inferior. Claims of good intentions are cut down by his employment methods; if a dragon does not join his cause, he will kill them. He is powerful enough and been around long enough to have become the #1 threat to the magical world.
• Jake Long had hoped that the Dark Dragon would remain imprisoned in the temple for thousand years. It took a far stronger being than the Dark Dragon to break him out, and that was Melkor. It was adamantly clear that he wanted a replacement for Acnalagon in the pantheon, so he rescued the Dark Dragon. It's unclear what happened to Rose, who was locked up to imprison him. The Dark Dragon boasts he killed her, but his words cannot be trusted and Jake hopes Rose survived and is waiting to enter the Trope Pantheon.
• Upon his rescue, the Dark Dragon considered it an imperative to find magical beings to serve his cause. His primary focus is other dragons. He convinced Smaug that he would benefit from a control/absence of humans and humanoids as he would make sure not a fleck of his valuables will ever be lost in his regime, and he will burn anyone who manages to sneak money without his notice. Often this is just an excuse to get back at humans, but as far as Smaug is concerned it's better safe than sorry/his support could be useful.
• The Dark Dragon has also convinced Grima and the Void Dragon to side with him, though even with them he is wary they may one day betray him. However very few dragons were willing to be outright allies. Some non-dragons were happy to help; Typhon and Chernabog, to be precise. Typhon is a great and powerful monster who resents being imprisoned as the Dark Dragon must, and the Dark Dragon wanting to make magical beings supreme would give his monstrous offspring free reign. Chernabog sees the Dark Dragon as a means to an end, mainly relating to their similarities of large, demonic beings of darkness who can summon demons to do their bidding.
• Despite his owing Melkor one and Sauron's permanent estrangement from the former, the Dark Dragon respects him because he's a forceful, brilliant leader who is ultimately the smarter of the two. Of course the Dark Dragon isn't openly about oppression and domination and believes he is in the right, while Sauron has mere relics of a good purpose. It's a near certainty that if Melkor has progressed far enough in his goals he can begin the destruction of reality in earnest, the Dark Dragon will turn on him and try to work with Sauron for his ends.
• Melkor has noted that in his universe the Dark Dragon is the first dragon to become evil, as he was the first of the Ainur and indeed the first being period in his universe^note we're not sure about Ungoliant to become evil. He has also noted that the Dark Dragon's self-professed motive is akin to Magneto's feelings of mutants and humanity. The Dark Dragon fails to see anything different from a mutant and a human, but does agree the Master of Magnetism and him are not so different.
• The Dark Dragon has the enmity of many dragons, all of which he wants to join him but recognizes it won't go anywhere. Bahamut and the Tao Trio are powerful enough to pose a serious threat to him, but fortunately for the Dark Dragon Tiamat agreed with a lot of his points and came to his rescue. Another serious threat was Acnologia, who the Dark Dragon personally detests for being a human turned dragon an enemy of both. The Dark Dragon considers him the worst of both worlds, and though he is almost as much of an enemy to dragonkind as Acnologia his contempt is justified.
• Didn't even bother trying to recruit Falkor, as he knows it would be a waste of time. He did not think trying to recruit Diagon and Bowser wouldn't pan out, but it did. Bowser finds his hatred of humans pointless and racist, and he would rather Take Over the World himself. Diagon may be an inherently magical being, but since his betrayal by Vilgax he is extremely skeptical of the Dark Dragon. As such, he would prefer to take over the world himself.
• He Would Hurt a Child given his opposition to Jake Long, however he regards the Sorceress's desire to rip the wings off baby dragons and kill them as cruel and unusual. As much as he and Spyro don't get along, he works with him to kick her ass. So deep is his hatred and disgust for the Sorceress he even works with Jake to make her pay...but only against her, and will start attacking his brief allies once he's done with the Sorceress.
• The Dark Dragon is an enemy of humanity, with the Emperor of Mankind and other representatives of humanity making sure he will never manage to eliminate them. Buffy and Spike's roles of hunting supernatural threats also make them prime enemies for the Dark Dragon. However when it comes to humans his revulsion is saved for Lord Voldemort, who he will constantly refer to as Tom Riddle due to his lack of respect. This is because of his bigoted hatred of other magical creatures, albeit not to the extreme of "half-bloods and muggleborns".
• Proving he is not so different from Voldemort, the Dark Dragon takes immediate offense to the idea of humans wielding magic, as he feels it should exclusively be for magical creatures. The majority of magical creatures and the House of Magic and Sorcery refuse to believe that this point is valid and as they won't stand by the Dark Dragon, they are his enemies. Fortunately for the Dark Dragon there were those from the House of Magic who wholeheartedly agreed with him.
  • Ultimecia may look human, but she's a Sorceress and she was persecuted by humanity in the past. While the Dark Dragon has warned her not to go too far with her time compression, he agrees with her desires for vengeance against humans.
  • Erazor Djinn has a vendetta against humanity for their imprisonment of him and forced servitude, though it was partly punishment for his misdeeds. His hatred towards humans is not as intense as the Dark Dragon, but it is enough that the two to work together. The Dark Dragon has grown an antipathy towards Sonic like Erazor, who's snarky teenage personality reminds him of Jake Long.
• Of those who rejected his offer in the House of Magic he considers Vivi Ornitier one of the most missed opportunities for an ally. He thought given his background revenge against humanity would be enticing, but Vivi considers that and the Dark Dragon to be immoral. They are in agreement on one thing, however; that the stab-happy Black Mage is immoral, and as far as the Dark Dragon sees it excessive.
• The Dark Dragon shows disgust towards Alice and Luka's relationship as he thinks she sullies herself being with a human. He holds a great deal of disgust towards House Targaryen as well, since his Fantastic Racism against humans means he regards their command over dragons, dragon riding and use of dragon symbolism sullying his kind's name and reputation. The Dark Dragon has grown to hate Malekith and his Dark Elves for taming dragons as well, though Malekith has pointed out the dragons they tame are violent and brutal.
• Nobody should dare compare his misanthropy to that of Zamasu, as the Dark Dragon "merely" hates the human species while Zamasu despises every mortal being, be they magical like himself, designated under homo sapiens, or other. Further winding the Dark Dragon up is that like Zamasu, he would destroy fellow members of his own kind for not agreeing with him. He is alright with making comparisons of his Join or Die methods with Malekith to annoy him, though for the Dark Elf has more to do with being a Manipulative Bastard via poisoned wine.
• His power over Shadow Demons, literal draconic/demon shadows, got the attention of the Ebon Dragon. The Dark Dragon flatly denied any attempt he made at an alliance; not because he is completely untrustworthy, but because the Dark Dragon recognizes him as an inherently pathetic being and not worth his time. He isn't interested in allying with other villains who share his voice either, as they are either human or do not fit his cause.
• It is unknown what his true name is, and if his uniquely dark coloration is due to his natural or his becoming evil. Originally he looked very similar to Jake, but black and purple. He's not chatty about his origins, which has led some to wonder if he was anything like Malefor. The two are powerful, feared dragons, something the Dark Dragon recognizes. However he regards him as a rival instead of an ally because Malefor's goal is the destruction of the world, however the Dark Dragon wishes to rule it. Alduin is more willing to go along with the domination part, but he has his own interests and doesn't regard the Dark Dragon as all that impressive. The Dark Dragon responded by declaring him a rival to his power.
• Not sure if he considers Quetzalcoatl a dragon or not, but he initially respected his divine and somewhat magic position. However the two are at odds because the Feathered Serpent believes humanity should be protected and has more of a fondness towards them than his fellow deities. The Dark Dragon finds this to be unfathomable.
• Would kindly like to remind the deities of the Mother series that he is not the same as the Dark Dragon they know and fear, only because from what he's studied that being doesn't follow his M.O. However because of the threat he poses and his hatred towards all humans he is an enemy of the lot, especially Porky Minch. Porky is interested in the power he holds, wondering if it's comparable to the Dark Dragon he knows. The #1 threat to the magical world regards him as much of what he sees in humanity.
• Deathwing and Galakrond don't think the Dark Dragon is all that impressive, and wonder why he is considered the #1 threat to the magical world. The Dark Dragon doesn't regard himself as a threat to the magical world, but he is irked at them not thinking he's impressive. As he seeks world domination and not destruction he considers Deathwing to be a madman, though admits he is impressive. As for Galakrond he doesn't oppose him, but does avoid him as he privately admits Galakrond overshadows him in power and threat.
• Though he doesn't hate them like he does towards humans, the Dark Dragon regards Moro and Lord Tirek as major threats to him. This is because their desire to devour power, and Tirek's Mana Drain especially, is a serious threat to his livelihood. The Dark Dragon is also not one to underestimate Guts, as he knows his Dragonslayer sword was meant to slay dragons and it is exceptionally good at cutting down tougher demons than his shadowy creations. It may be worth noting that the Dark Dragon actually agrees with Guts' anger to the Apostles, but only because they were humans and thus fuel his belief that Humans Are Bastards.

Intermediate Gods

Artanis

Artanis, God of Stressed Leaders (Hierarch of the Daelaam, Executor Artanis, Praetor Artanis, "Skippy")

• Intermediate God
• Symbol: The insignia of the Daelaam
• Theme Song: The Stars Our Home
• Alignment: Neutral Good
• Portfolio: Leader of the Protoss, The Executor in the first Great War promoted to leader, Reasonable Authority Figure, young for Protoss standards, Bling of War, The Hero, Dual Wielding Psy-Blade and Warp Blade, emits lightning-based psi attacks, command the Spear of Adun, Rousing Speech, the Optimist, Kind beings you do not want to antagonize, Heavily chained by the burden of being in command.
• Domains: Leadership, Stress, Aliens
• Allies: Tassadar, Jim Raynor, Sarah Kerrigan, Jaina Proudmoore, Kael'thas Sunstrider, Thrall, Tyrael, The Nephalems, Shinji Ikari, Yui Ikari, Asuka Lanlgey Soryu/Shikinami, Knight Gundam, Optimus Prime, Elizabeth Mably, Valeera Sanguinar, Mata Nui, Symmetra
• Rivals: Eldrad
• Enemies: Diablo, Arcturus Mengsk, Cthulhu, Unicron, Gendo Ikari, Loki (sometimes), Darkseid, Thanos, YHVH, Zeus (sometimes), Ares (sometimes), The four Gods of Chaos, The Combine
• Annoyed by: Discord
• Opposes: Garrosh Hellscream
• Though Artanis is the leader of the Protoss, he bears a heavy weight in being a leader. He ponders whether retaking his homeworld of Aiur from the feral Zerg was worth sacrificing many Protoss lives. He must perform a perilous balancing act regarding which actions he takes and does not take in keeping the two factions united. Artanis himself never wanted the position of Hierarch in the first place, and only took it because it was the only way to keep the two factions together ^note  That, and he was the only Protoss respected enough by both the Khalai and Nerazim to reside over it unopposed . Regardless, he will lead and fight for his people to ensure a better future.
• In another universe, he was one of the chosen Protoss to undergo the Purifier Project, where their memories and personalities were downloaded to robotic warriors. However, upon reactivation, he destroyed Aiur in an open rebellion and now leads them in purging organic life.
  • One of the various color schemes is what resembles of EVA-01 and EVA-02, and Shinji, Yui, and Asuka noticed. It was pretty clear to them that the Purifier has no intention of sparing them when he was reminded of that mecha. Shinji and Asuka may have to fight it someday should it somehow get into the Pantheon and cause problems. In addition, the weapons he used were similar to those of the Gipsy Danger which Raleigh and Mako noticed.
  • With the real Artanis himself, he is amused by the fact that children are battling against destructive monsters that make the Hybrid look like toys. In addition, he is rather offended at Gendo Ikari's and SEELE's concept of Instrumentality, a corruption of the Khala's ideals and their methods which reminds him of Amon's manipulations. He doesn't know what EVAs are.
• He'll have you know that this is NOT Warcraft In Space. It's much more sophisticated! And whatever this 'Trope Pantheon' thing is doesn't count!
• Artanis wonders how the Pantheon is even supposed to work and has also come up with a few questions.
  "This realm poses many questions, and few answers. […] Were the Xel'naga involved in the creation of the Pantheon? If so, they have left no temples, no new lifeforms. [...] Unless...those lifeforms were unseen, controlling us through some complicated digital mechanism, some sort of "edit function" as it were! [...] Maybe even thousands of these lifeforms, all manipulating our lives at once! Aaah... All right, this is giving me a headache."
• With him is his great companion, Artanis, harboring great respect for his leadership. He practically worships Tassadar and hopes to be a strong leader like him.
• Probably has one of the blingy-est armors in the Pantheon. Though it is noted that he started wearing them to show leadership and the unity of his people, he wasn't wearing any during the Brood War or in general.
• Like almost everyone, he is rather annoyed by Discord's antics, though he is a special case for him because his trollish nature and his voice reminds him of a reluctant ally, Alarak of the Tal'darim.
• He's against Garrosh Hellscream for what he has done to his people. He is also disturbed that he almost sounded like him when he is very angry, which is very rare.
• The House of Music joke that his name is Sinatra backwards. To be fair, he lived a life that's full, travelled each and every star array, and more, much more than this, he did it his way.
• He will get annoyed at people if they call him an "orc", no offense to the orcs. All because people were keep poking him.
  "What do I look like, an orc?"
  "Will you stop poking me? Go dispense your aggression on one of the orcs! See how they like it!"
• Though he wanted to see Kerrigan die for backstabbing the Protoss once and killing his best friend, Fenix, the prophecies from Zeratul tells that Kerrigan plays a role in saving the universe from the end of all things. As he trusts Zeratul, he has to take his word for it and hope that he's correct. Over time, he's begun to warm up to her.
  • And in spite of his old 'alliance' with Arcturus Mengsk last time (which failed to defeat Kerrigan), Artanis has made it clear that it was merely an Enemy Mine situation. In fact, he condemns all of Mengsk's power-hungry lying methods, the eyes of the Daelaam Hierarch sees through his lies and he'd be more glad to eradicate his tyranny if opportunity presents itself. At the very least, Artanis' glad that Arcturus's son Valerian is a lot more redeeming.
• He directly opposes malicious god-like deities in a more defiant stance. Despite whatever their powers and destructiveness are, it will not deter Artanis and he'll always oppose them to the bitter end.
  • Khorne and Tzeentch took an interest in him at first after seeing him utilizing both skillful melee and psionic powers in tandem. And while Tzeentch left him alone after discovering that psionics were not born of the warp, Khorne only gained a further interest in him, considering that despite being able to utilize almost magical abilities, these abilities were clearly his own and not 'stolen' from the Warp. Artanis made it clear just where Khorne could shove his offers of power, though.
    You would see the universe embroiled in eternal conflict, serving no purpose but your own mindless lust for slaughter. Leave, now, or you will see firsthand that the Firstborn are no strangers to warfare.
    • While Khorne initially thought this to be empty boasting, he eventually did learn of Artanis' excursion to scour his universe of their malevolent god by venturing into its realm. He has not been seen in Artanis's temple since, content to passively profit from the conflict in the Koprulu sector.
• Though he respects Eldrad as a leader who wants to protect his people from destruction and extinction, he questions his motives about using others as sacrifices. Also, he found him to be a huge dick.
• At some point, he had crossed paths with Elizabeth Mably. At first the Pandora had mistaken him for the Nova she fought until he explained to her that he is far different from them. While she learned who he really was, she was also impressed with his acts of leadership while Artanis had mutual feelings. They have been good allies ever since.
• Artanis once made a public statement about how a man who retained a dead man's memories and personality will NOT be automatically be the same person, they are different people who deserve to carve their own destiny as his experience with a certain 'Fenix' (later known as Talandar) concurred. This eventually led the Pantheon to further believe that the incident of 'Magister's Terrace featuring Kael'thas' really is as they theorized: That Kil'Jaeden-loving abomination cannot be Kael'thas at all, it's just a husk possessing his memories and personality. As a result, Artanis seems to hang around with Kael a lot more if they are in the Nexus.
• He may be an actual leader, but for Protoss standards, he's actually pretty young. That was how he met and befriended a Blood Elf, Valeera Sanguinar, with similar trait of being considered young despite looking like a bombshell for human standards.
• This is Artanis' worst nightmare. When he woke up, he was very relieved that it's All Just a Dream. Although he has given weird looks to Uther after waking up.
• Became friends with Mata Nui, as they are both leaders attempting to save their people from destruction; not to mention there was something about Mata Nui that reminded Artanis of Ouros, the last benevolent Xel’naga. One time, Artanis asked Mata Nui if the Great Beings were an alternate iteration of the Xel’naga. Since Mata Nui did not know much about his creators, he admitted it was a likely possibility.
• After awhile hanging around in the Nexus, Artanis paid a visit to the universe where Omnic Crisis wrecked havoc and to his surprise, he ended up befriending Symmetra due to their utmost belief about order, and Artanis can definitely share about the importance of order and sympathizes with how Symmetra under Vishkar was very similar to himself when serving under Aldaris. Though the chance to just sic the Spear of Adun to Vishkar seems very tempting even for him.

Lin Beifong

Lin Beifong, Goddess of Iron Ladies (Chief Beifong, Lin Bei Fong, (That Lady is) My Hero)

• Intermediate Goddess.
• Symbol: Black metalbending gauntlet with a three-claw scar and a golden arch badge.
• Theme Song: Beifong's Sacrifice^* starts at 2:01

• Portfolio: Metal, Earth, 24-Hour Armor, Amicable Ties to an Ex-Love Interest, Keeping Peace and Stability by Enforcing the Rule of Law, Building-Swinging Cables, The Comically Serious, Cool Old Lady, Lowering the Walls Around a Heart of Gold, Being Just Like One's Parents Except Really Not, Iron Lady of War, Protecting Others at One's Own Expense, Maintaining Integrity in the Face of Plausible Deniability, Retractable Blades, Lost and Regained Powers
• Domains: Law, Metal, Leadership.
• Herald: Saikhan
• Allies: Avatar Korra, Tenzin, Asami Sato, Avatar Aang, Katara, Mako, Bolin, Commander Samuel Vimes, Olivier Mira Armstrong (former High Priestess), Greed the Avaricious, Toph Beifong (her mother), Varrick, Sokka, Zuko, Uncle Iroh, Naruto Uzumaki, Ichigo Kurosaki, Edward Elric, Alphonse Elric, Kirie Sakurame, Chun-Li, Ling Yao
• Enemies: Amon, Zaheer, Father and the Homunculi (save for Greed), Raditz, Esdeath, Death Phantom
• Respects: Any non-corrupt members of the Houses of Leadership and Law and Justice, especially Sam Vimes
• Opposes: Kuvira, Charles zi Britannia, Phoney Bone, Maxie and Archie
• Conflicting Opinion
  • Towards: Josuke Higashikata
  • From: Judge Joseph Dredd
• Complicated Relationship: Shukuro Tsukishima
• The elder (and once-estranged) daughter of the legendary Toph Beifong, Lin is the Chief of Police in Republic City, the capital of the United Republic of Nations. She holds a strict belief in peacekeeping through strong and just enforcement of the law, and has run her department this way. Despite this belief, she hasn't let herself be held captive to the letter of the law, stepping outside those bounds in critical moments to protect her world, charges and loved ones against major threats.
• In her younger days, Lin briefly dated Avatar Aang's son Tenzin until things fell apart and he left for another woman. In response, she infamously destroyed his house and tried to get his new girlfriend arrested. Aang, who she got along with famously, was briefly disappointed but did not resent her after this. She was initially hostile towards Aang's successor Korra, shortly after the latter relocated to Republic City, considering her a lawless, impetuous Destructive Savior coasting on her title. Working together against Amon and his Equalists helped Lin gain respect for Korra as well as resolve her issues with Tenzin, who was Korra's mentor.
• Philosophically, she comes straight from the school of Samuel Vimes as someone who's strong in the law, faithful to its letter, but more importantly true to its spirit. In fact, he openly campaigned for her to enter the House of Justice. While that push was unsuccessful, the House of Leadership took notice and made sure to have her brought in to fill the vaunted seat of the Iron Lady, one which she's earned as a tough, decisive boss and guardian whose bluster is backed up in action. She was greeted by Korra, Asami, Aang, Katara, Toph, and Samuel himself upon her ascension to the Pantheon; that said, she was not happy to discover that Amon and Zaheer had ascended before her. She routinely takes trips to the House of Justice, often visiting Samuel and taking pointers from him about certain situations to see how well his outlook really matches her own. That said, not all members of the House are as keen to her presence there as Old Stoneface. Judge Dredd, for example, is annoyed at her for being so prone to infamous declarations such as "OUTSIDE THE LAW" on the rare occasion that she chooses to bend the rules to protect others. She doesn't think ill of Dredd for this, but does find the objection annoying when it comes up.
• Shortly after making the rounds in the Pantheon, she found herself an unlikely suitor following a routine arrest. The homunculus called Greed caught her at work apprehending a street criminal and promptly went to hit on her, declaring that he was the future King of the World and wanted her as his Queen. She rejected him out of hand just as quickly as he came, but later began to see that he had some virtue after he helped her lead a small resistance of both police and civilian fighters to protect Republic City from an attack by Raditz. Since then she's been willing to fight alongside him and go to him for information, especially as it relates to his homunculi siblings and their potential plans for the Pantheon; yet still, she isn't terribly friendly to his advances. Toph, who approves of Greed, says that's slowly changing with time.
• She first took notice of Charles zi Britannia when she heard about the old emperor with military strength-based ideals similar to those of her High Priestess. After brushing up on his politics and goals, she considers him a revolting and pitiful distortion of both Olivier's and her own ideals who has more in common with Unalaq, Korra's Evil Uncle and Counterpart, and will not hesitate to bring him down if she sees him come near her people.
• The fact that the benefactor to Greed's bar Stray Dog happens to be a nominal member of GUAE doesn't sit well with Lin. She's confronted the homunculus about this, but was assured that Wario did not ask him to become a member and is only interested in money, and he would've said no even if it came up. For some odd reason, she actually believes him, but still doesn't like the situation. Even without his dubious allegiance, Wario's penchant for stiffing his employees when it comes to pay makes him rather dodgy for a business partner, and damn near everyone in hers and Greed's circles thinks rather poorly of the man.
• During one of her visits to Stray Dog, she witnessed one Josuke Higashikata willingly heading right for the slot machine in order to get the money to pay back some rich guy whose car his great-niece was accused of stealing. Interested, she cleverly used her metalbending to rig the machine so he could win, with only Greed noticing, then followed Josuke to the House of Commerce, where she witnessed him paying the money to Robert Speedwagon and Integra Hellsing, then conversing amicably with Speedwagon. After looking up connections between the two and discovering Josuke's family ties to Speedwagon's friends, Lin then went to the House of Family to check on Josuke, only to be disappointed at the sight of him beating up on Bowser Jr. for mocking his pompadour. She now thinks he's going down a similar path to Korra as a novice Avatar and Suyin as a young rebel.
• After being informed that the GUAC wants to extract Vaatu from Korra and several agents of Chaos have already tried to do so, she is more intently watching out for anything they might do as well as becoming slightly overprotective of Korra. Despite knowing the Avatar can more than handle herself, she can't help but think there's no such thing as being too careful. That said, she has no intention on smothering Korra, seeing how badly that's gone in the past.
• Whenever she sees the Gaang hanging out as kids, Lin still finds herself amazed at how little they've changed personality-wise from how she knew them as adults. Seeing how Toph is in particular, as well as finally being told about her mother's difficulty with being sheltered by her own parents, has given her a new understanding about why Toph was so lax with her and Suyin. In any case, she's more appreciative of her mother taking that route as a parent — instead of turning into someone like Charles or Unalaq.
• After hearing rumblings about a long-unseen suspicious character appearing at the House of Heroes, she headed straight there and found three young men fighting: Naruto Uzumaki, Ichigo Kurosaki, and Shukuro Tsukishima. Naruto and Ichigo claimed Shukuro invaded the house trying to stab Naruto with his katana and rewrite Naruto's memories, while Shukuro contended the knife was for self-defense and Naruto had started the fight. Lin then asked them what house and sub-house they belonged to. Naruto and Shukuro said Heroes, while Ichigo said Life and Death. The blade of her cable disarmed Shukuro two seconds later and he ran away shortly thereafter. When the boys asked how she figured out who was telling the truth, she stated the intruder would likely conceal their separate housing — something Ichigo didn't do.
  • Though she became friendly with both bright-haired young men after this, she tends to be oddly protective towards Naruto, which isn't surprising since his personality and determination evoke shades of both Korra and Aang. However, a throwaway remark from Deadpool and later exploration by Whis revealed to them a deeper truth: in an alternate cross-timeline where some people from Naruto's world reincarnated in Lin's, his second life would be her son.
• She soon found herself finally greeting the ascensions of first Olivier, then Tenzin, congratulating them each in short order and frequently talking with both of them, albeit separately. She and Olivier even exchange important information about each other's people.
• When Korra got herself a seat in the Pantheon separate from UQ Holder!'s Touta Konoe, Asami threw a party to celebrate and invited many old and new friends over. Seeing Greed try to apologize to all the teenage girls there for his younger friend Teddie's constant hitting on them, she took the chance to introduce Korra and Tenzin to him by remarking how his first attempt to flirt with her wasn't much better. She also was thankful to both Kirie Sakurame and Alphonse Elric for adding Tenzin's ascension as part of the cause for celebration, as well as tried to object when Korra and Touta decided they wanted to spar with Hercules as Illya von Einzbern's Berserker in the future when both were revealed to be the same only to stop when Touta's confident reply reminded her of Naruto.
  • After the party, the Krew, Toph, the Elric brothers, and Greed stayed behind to talk, with the two verses' deities learning more about each other in order to settle any concerns over Greed's intentions. Not surprisingly, Lin watched him nearly talk himself into a hole several times with his all-things-avarice persona, but otherwise he was appropriately protective, relieved, and bluntly honest with his take on events of her life, such as her family conflict and resolution, her tantrum after the breakup with Tenzin, and being de-bended by Amon. Furthermore, he and the Elric brothers offered many valuable details about the Philosopher's Stone, human transmutation, the Homunculi, and especially their fathers.
  • What did surprise her was hearing from Greed how he'd like to mentor Bolin and Mako should the young brothers ascend to the Pantheon someday. (He would later get that wish.) In the end, she received notes of caution (from Tenzin) and approval (Korra) regarding her "hopeless suitor", and was grateful for getting both. Likewise, now knowing Edward and Alphonse's story, she approved of them most out of Korra's friends, for what it was worth.
• Has half a mind to arrest the former eco-terrorist Pokémon team leaders Maxie and Archie just to teach them a lesson despite the fact that they've since apparently rejected their evil ways, a sentiment shared with fellow stern policewoman Carmelita Fox. She's held off for two reasons: Toph determined they're telling the truth about being reformed, and Greed wants to see if they start to slip up again first. Similarly, Phoney Bone ascended to the Pantheon and got his cousin and Herald to bartend at Stray Dog. Smiley's harmless, but Phoney, with his constant desire to scheme for big money, seems a bit too similar to Varrick for her liking. As for Varrick himself, she's still wary of how the man played into the Water Tribe tensions to enrich himself at the potential expense of Republic City's safety in the past, in spite of the stroke of conscience he's gained in the time since then. Still, the bone is no real threat, so she's not tapping Greed as a resource to go after him, and she's willing to work with Varrick when the occasion calls for it.
• Finally met Ling Yao after the 12th Prince of Xing turned up in the Pantheon. He burst into laughter shortly after their introductions, which she was annoyed by until she realized he found the coincidence of their names downright hilarious, which got her to join in and chuckle too. After talking with him for a bit, she was reminded of Prince Wu with his smooth charisma, but a far more cunning and serious example. Her protective instinct towards her charges and loved ones also earned his respect.
• Ichigo later sought her out to take down Tsukishima and get the truth about his agenda. She recommended they get Wonder Woman to help, and the three were able to bring him down and hold him in the Lasso of Truth. Despite this, his accounting of having been sent to Hell before being brought to the Pantheon and rescued by a "faceless robe" was rejected wholesale by Ichigo, who remembered that Shukuro and his boss had met an entirely different afterlife where they even aided Ichigo to repay their debt to him. A further investigation revealed that said "faceless robe" had been none other than Wiseman, who Wonder Woman recalled from Sailor Moon's stories had been an enemy of the Sailor Guardians. They confirmed that the history Ichigo knew was the real one, and purged Tsukishima of Death Phantom's influence. She's still watching carefully that Tsukishima doesn't return to villainy, but knows the real enemy of the story now.

• Herald: Gillian
• Meet Dana Zane. On the surface, she’s just the boss of the hole-in-the-wall bar that is VA-11 Hall-A. But to those who are even mildly familiar with her Dana is far more than that. Devil-may-care goof she may be on the surface, the owner of the bar has a wild history and is subject to many rumors, some of which surrounding as to how she lost her left arm. Some say it’s from battling a rogue cyborg wrestler, others say it’s from fending off a bear, and some more theorize she tossed something so hard it just fell off. Regardless of the hearsay one thing is for certain: Dana really cares for her subordinates, Jill Stingray and Gillian. Sure, it can be attributed to the fact they’re both pretty diligent and responsible to the point that Dana thinks she’s just their boss in-name-only, but she does go out her way to look after the both of them. Gillian is especially notable as despite being the butt of several jokes she does genuinely appreciate him and was pretty much the reason for him having a safe place from whatever he did in the past.
• Along with Gillian, Dana served as one of Jill’s Heralds to better help acclimate herself in the Pantheon, and while for the most part has gotten used to the place’s weirdness she still found it odd considering Dana’s her boss. Eventually, Dana did some work and managed to score a position of her own in the Pantheon and decided to surprise Jill with it, something Jill herself was pretty excited to hear. Dana also ended up taking Gil as her Herald given he serves a similar purpose back home, anyways. Other than that, not much has changed when it comes to workflow. Most of the time Dana is either in her office or off running errands as she trusts subordinates to hold down the fort.
• Being the owner of Valhalla and Jill’s Herald for a period of time she’s on good terms with Tapper and Bartender Bob thanks to Jill’s own familiarity with them though Tapper’s helpfulness and Bob’s all-around easy to approach personality helped. And while there’s somewhat of a rivalry between them being both owners of bars, Dana is even on good terms with Moe after she helped him out with something, although for the most part they don’t interact often. On the other hand, The Gang wasn’t pleased to hear about the owner of a rival bar managing to secure a title for herself, especially since she has an easier time thwarting their already poor attempts at sabotage now. At one point, Dana chased them down with a seeded baguette.
• Dana’s adventurous history, as it is known, includes the following jobs: She was a wrestler, an MMA fighter, a collaborator with the Neo-San Francisco police department, a chimney cleaner, a lumberjack, a pet shop attendant, and a corporate mascot. Even back then she claimed that as a kid she was the kind to pick fights with those bigger than herself and around twelve years old she “became the Merriam-Webster definition of a ‘shallow jerkwad’”. Dana realizing what kind of person she was around the time she became sixteen years old helped change her for the better. To this day, she would rather not recount such years in her life.
  • While her fighting days are over, Dana’s reputation continues to precede her even in the Pantheon. In special regards to her time as a wrestler, she was dubbed titles like The Red Comet and the Undefeated of the West. There is even someone who takes after her legacy, to where they even go by the moniker of The Red Comet Jr. This, combined with the fact she also watches wrestling, puts her on good terms with the Pantheon’s many wrestlers such as Mike Haggar and Zangief and is particularly fond of watching the latter’s matches when she can.
  • The story of how she ended up collaborating with the Neo-San Francisco Police Department involves her old league, the Grand Slam Fighters, being caught up in something. One officer, Lexi Rivers, came there to ask questions but a fight suddenly broke out. Before anyone knew it, Dana already took care of the situation after some things she ended up becoming a partner to Lexi, and she stands by the fact Dana was one of the best she ever knew. They became an item at one point, though it only lasted for around a week^note Lexi was too uptight, and Dana was too “Dana”. They remained on good terms, however, and have kept in touch even after Dana left Neo-San Francisco. In terms of other officers, Dana gets along with Maximillian Caxton and Big Band and has even met the former due to being a frequent client of Valhalla. On the other hand, she isn’t all too fond of C.R.A.S.H. and Manny Pardo, especially after she caught the former harassing Jill. They didn’t get to do anything beyond bothering her as Dana didn’t waste a second getting Jill out of there, though not before kicking their asses.
• As far as preferences go, she doesn't mind anything as long as they're cute and/or 2D and is very much proud of it. Luckily for Jill, who has a massive crush on her boss, she's included in that category. Dana admits that if she had to choose who to marry between Jill and Gillian because she's cute, smart, and (again) she kind of already owns Gil anyways. The bartender is hesitant when it comes to acting on said crush, something Alma and Anna were glad to point out, though they may have gotten together and went to make a week-long trip to Panama months after the New Years party.
• How exactly she lost her arm is quite the mystery, one Dana herself doesn’t mind perpetuating if only because it’s more interesting that way. What isn’t a mystery is that she made sure the replacement had state-of-the-art tech behind it. Its utilities include a hard disk drive in the forearm, a flashlight, a clock, and apparently the ability to fire her hand akin to a Rocket Punch. Admittedly, she was sad to lose her dominant arm but was also satisfied at the bigger purpose it served^note And apparently, it has something to do with whether or not she lost her “v-card”. Dana would prefer that would be the last time she’d give up a limb for something but if a similar situation would arise she’d do it again. Plus, her cyborg arm is really freakin’ cool.
  Dana: This hand of mine is awesome!
  • Edward Elric and Violet Evergarden can likewise relate to Dana having also lost limbs themselves and being forced to get mechanical prostheses. For Ed, he lost his left leg and right arm when he and his brother, Alphonse, attempted to bring back their mother through the use of alchemy though he eventually got his arm back. For Violet, she lost both her arms in the war during her time as a Child Soldier. Much like Dana, the two have also built up a reputation for themselves, though people tend to mistake Al for him while he gets relegated as “the short one”, much to his intense ire. She accidentally made the same mistake herself (if indirectly), though this mistake was eventually remedied.
• She’s familiar with the likes the Tactical Dolls of Griffin and Kryuger thanks to their PMC being hired by the Zaibatsu Corporation following the disbandment of the White Knights. Even if their visit was brief due to some complications with conflicting technology, Dana was still excited to meet a few both out on the street and when they stopped by Valhalla. She even got a bunch of souvenirs out of the whole thing to boot. She has no idea what to think about a T-Doll version of her that was rescued from another Doll’s serious drunken mind, though.
• If there’s one other thing one needs to know about Dana, it’s that she has a habit of getting stuck in stuff. In fact, it’s actually Jill’s first impression of her boss when she came over to submit her contract. Some may compare this habit with Winnie the Pooh with Hunny pots and Rabbit’s door or Setsuna with traps, though Dana has gotten stuck in a wider of things. A jar, a bucket, a helmet, a TV while trying to assemble it, etc. At one point she even got her jaw stuck after trying to eat a big sandwich...
  Jill: I like to think she’ll make an effort now to avoid getting stuck in things.
  Gillian: I want to believe.
• Instead of something normal like, say, a dog or a cat, her family pet was a bear named Bosco. Aang and his friends wondered if she meant the Bosco that was the pet of Earth King Kuei but Dana clarified it was a separate Bosco (though she wouldn’t object to meeting the other one someday). She hasn’t had much of a chance to meet some of the Pantheon’s many bears and only managed to do so with Bewear while the Pokemon was training with Bear Hugger.
• Given the prolific life she leads it's inevitable that people would question how old she is. Dana, however, tends to dodge the question though if given the chance she’ll respond that she’s eternally seventeen and doesn’t elaborate further than that. Trying to pry any further will cause her to threaten to take the person’s tongue on the slim chance said person does actually find out. Some have taken the initiative to do the research themselves regardless but the most they could dig up was what was described above and her burning her house down that one time.
• She’s very much fond of spicy chicken wings, so much so that Dana frequents the Spicy Chicken restaurant two blocks from Valhalla to get her buckets. In the Pantheon, she goes down to Colonel Sanders’ Kentucky Fried Chicken or that other chicken restaurant down in the House of Food whose manager doubles as a part-time warrior and idol. In both cases, she thinks both their chicken isn’t to her tastes but it’s good enough for her to buy for Jill and Gillian every now and then since the amount of spice is far more reasonable for them.
  • On an unrelated but still food-related note upon being asked about her opinion on pineapple pizza Dana said: “All food is a blessing you snotty jabroni, be happy that you have it instead of having petty fights over it". The person who asked the question was reported to have been suplexed soon after and had forgotten the experience as well as the hour before it.
• Though she hasn’t made any statement about it she’s on the lookout should a man named Yasunori Kato ascend to the Pantheon one day. Apparently, Dana has a vendetta against him and plans to bring the hurt on him should the time comes. He’s quite the villainous fiend, and she is very passionate about enacting justice onto him.
• “I don’t plan and evaluate every move, Jill... I just act.”

• Rivals: Zamasu, Galeem, Yalbadaoth, Oryx, The Vex, Malthael
• Opposes: GOLB, The Grand United Alliance of Destruction and Grand United Alliance of Chaos (for the most part)
• Horde Prime was the leader of a universal-spanning Empire, The Horde, an empire he had founded by using clones of himself as underlings and various machines and weapons of war. Keeping his underlings under control with a combination of indoctrination, genetic modification, mind control and fear, he lead his armies to conquer and destroy any planet and race that stood in their path, however he would ultimately meet his match when facing the First Ones, another powerful galactic empire. Though Prime prevailed, his destruction of their Empire eventually led to a series of events, which included their home planet of Etheria being banished to a separate dimension, that led to Adora, the latest She-Ra of many, to assist a rebellion against Hordak, one of his many clones whom he had exile for being "defective" in the past. After Hordak successfully opened a portal and was able to bring Etheria to Horde Prime's attention, with the help of Catra and Entrapta, members of Hordak's self-made Horde branch; Horde Prime resumed his conquest, easily taking over the planet and installing mind-control chips on most of the populace. However he was met by resistance by the various members of the Rebellion, led by Adora. And after attempting to gain control of the Heart of Etheria, a massively powerful magical artifact that could give Prime Universal-scale power, he was finally defeated. First, when Hordak turned against him and killed his main body out of love for Entrapta (who he developed feelings for while on Etheria) who Prime ordered him to kill, and then when She-Ra destroyed his Mother Ship, stopped his attempts at using the Heart of Etheria by releasing all of its power into Etheria itself and then used her power to purge his spirit out of Hordak's body and promptly disintegrated it, ending his reign for good.
• It was tricky to bring him back to life, as there was nothing to actually bring him back with as a base due to She-Ra exorcising and destroying his spirit. The Court of Gods took their time, but eventually Horde Prime was fully back. Not satisfied at all with his defeat in the mortal realm, though. Ultimately, he was quite content to be ascended as a God in the Pantheon, and soon enough found out his Empire was resurrected alongside him (excluding his clones as they no longer bear any loyalty to him). Ever since he's been plotting to either gain the magic of Etheria or absorb/assimilate a similar artifact to the now defunct Heart of Etheria, in order to obtain infinite power and conquer the Universe he came from and eventually every Universe there is.
• He gained quite an array of allies as soon as he entered the Pantheon. Particular stand outs were villains obsessed with law and controlling free will for the sake of their visions. That said he think little of them in the long run besides using their resources for their own uses:
  • Darkseid was one of them. As the Lord of Apokolips was content to see a being that shared his end goals and mentality, he quickly stroked up an alliance of Apokolips and the Galactic Horde, with Darkseid promising Prime that he will gain complete control and his revenge on his home universe's enemies. Alongside various other controllers, they've been thinking of creating a specific alliance for their goal of subjugation. Similarly there was Lucemon, who was content to see a kindred soul that loathes those who they view as chaotic and in need of order, he very much approves of the many methods that Prime employs in his crusade against free will and has become a close ally as well.
  • The Galactic Empire also was quick to support Prime. Palpatine was actually amused by the capacities of the mind control chips on Prime's clone army. Given how it is similar to his use of the inhibitor chips on the Clone Troopers in order to execute Order 66 when he rose to power. Meanwhile others such as Moff Tarkin find Prime's use of fear and subjugation of masses with indoctrination to be a most admirable and praise-worthy technique, and has promised that he will make sure that the Galactic Horde and Galactic Empire forge and retain a strong alliance for the years to come.
  • The amoral Gihren Zabi was quite eager to hear the methods through which Prime kept control of his forces and his similarities in their Nazi-like actions and goals. He formed an alliance with Prime as a result, though like many others will betray him the moment their alliance has no longer any value to his goals.
  • Junko Enoshima was also another ally he made, as she enjoyed seeing his means of mind control and the possibilities of despair and how much cruelty Prime was capable of. Prime reluctantly has accepted her as an ally, though views her as more amusing than the rest.
  • Finally, he's on good terms with the Grand United Alliance of Law, they believe Horde Prime's methods would serve as a good deterrent against rebellion and disorder, and have made plans to give Prime plenty of resources for his goals, as they ultimately seek complete order which YHVH approves of.
• Has developed a fierce and hateful rivalry with fellow narcissistic and controlling villain, Zamasu, their similarities in goals and reasons for their actions being the main reason. Neither one is willing to team up with the other and have ultimately decided to eventually take the other down. Zamasu himself views Horde Prime as a mere mortal who's way over in his head about controlling all who surround him, while Prime views Zamasu as a flawed and useless God who he ought to prove as inferior to his being.
  • In the same vein, he's grown to become rivals with Galeem, as the Lord of Light views Prime as a mere pretender to the overall goal of subjugating life and free will. Horde Prime also loathes Galeem and is trying to make sure to eventually prove himself as the superior free will crusher. For similar reasons, rivalries with the likes of Oryx and the Vex have been made due to neither party being willing to cooperate with one another in their shared goals due to their egos.
  • On a similar note, he has no intentions of working with either Yalbadaoth or Malthael, viewing them both as too unreliable as allies due to their ideologies. Of course, just like everyone else, its also due to him not having any intention of any alliance lasting long once he's close to his goals.
• Deities who've suffered from Mind Rape or possession loathe him for his methods of suppressing free will:
  • Asuka Langley was one of the first to loathe him for this very reason, as she suffered greatly due to being subjected to nasty Mind Rape she experienced at the hands of Arael, one of the many angels that threatened her world. Horde Prime's goals of godhood don't help matters, either.
  • The Ninja also hate him for being similar to some of their foes such as the Overlord. Particularly that Prime's ultimate goal is to force all living beings to serve him by forcefully adding them to his Hive Mind doesn't helps matters with them. His method of possession also made him be singled out by Lloyd as the Green Ninja has suffered a lot due to Demonic Possession either happening to him or happening to others around him.
  • As victims of brainwashing and mind control, Anzu and Kotori were furious to learn what kind of things Horde Prime did to others, and as such have grown to oppose him, though they remain fearful he might chip them when their backs are turned.
• He's got a special amount of contempt for the Steven Universe deities, all for various reasons each:
  • Peridot, due to her breaking off her Empire and defying her superiors, then assisting in taking down and dismantling their empire. Due to the fact that his clone's "defect" and defiance of him brought about the end of his empire both direct and indirectly. Peridot herself finds him despicable due to his genocidal goals and being essentially White Diamond without any redeeming qualities.
  • Steven and Rose Quartz/Pink Diamond, for being deviants similar to Peridot and also being the chief architects of the Gem Empire's reformation. Just like his Etherian enemies, specially She-Ra. That Prime put Catra and various others through a similar trauma that Steven's friends went through does not help, nor does his genocidal goals, which has made it so neither Rose nor Steven have any hope of ever redeeming him.
  • The Crystal Gems. For being rebels who helped overthrow an Empire of order, which he views as a disgrace to be ashamed of. In return, they loathe Prime for his oppression of his underling clones, his suppression of free will (as they all worked hard in order to earn the right to live as they wanted) and lack of empathy for anyone else. Pearl is particularly afraid of his capacity to fully suppress the free will of others, given what she and the other gems suffered at the hands of White Diamond's own brainwashing technique.
  • Finally, the Diamonds, as he was disgusted by learning that they had abandoned their conquering ways and also turned around and dismantled the structure and authority of their Galactic Empire, as well as trying to atone for their actions. Per his own words, he believes them to be weak-willed fools who wasted a perfectly good empire for the sake of some lesser beings (not that he considers the Diamonds to be on his level, he just finds humans and rebels to be even lower than them) and thus seeks to take control of their resources and allies/former servants, believing himself to be the right successor to their empire's rule. All of the Diamonds in return don't harbor anything but an equal amount of disdain for the tyrannical emperor, particularly White Diamond who has been noted to be very similar to Prime in terms of behavior, goals and actions (before White's Heel–Face Turn that is) and thus swears that she will make sure that he is taken down for good.
• Has also earned the hatred of Angel, Zuko and Guy Montag, all for their own reasons. Angel detests him for the way that he employs mind control on others, going as far as painfully contorting their bodies when taking their minds over. Zuko hates him for being a tyrannical and controlling emperor who keeps his servants obedient through mind control and propaganda and his abuse towards them, which is all too reminiscient of what Ozai did to him and various other Fire Nation people. Guy Montag detests that Prime resembles Captain Beatty in his suppression of free will too much for his comfort, especially with how he imposes order. There's also Lelouch Vi Britannia who rebelled against an oppressive rule and thus earned Prime's ire for it, as well.
  • On a similar note, Ashi really loathes him for his Villain Override, given how her "father" Aku did something similar to what he did to Catra so the latter would fight Adora against her will. Prime himself is rather disappointed in her rebellious nature, mostly with Aku, who he has mocked for his inability to keep his spawn under control.
• As his one true Achilles' Heel is magic (or rather his lack of understanding about it), he detests all deities from the House of Magic and Sorcery, mostly the good-aligned ones, though even the evil ones have gained his scorn. He plots to one day completely blow the house out of existence, believing it to be one of the greatest threats to him, if not the greatest of them all. That said, he does hope at least some of his allies, some of them magic-users themselves, can help him harness the raw power of the magical forces, as they could serve him well like the Heart of Etheria once almost did.
• Catra and Adora were not pleased to see him ascend roughly at the same time, as the two suffered many things at his hands or indirectly due to his actions. They have made sure to be among the first to warn the Grand United Alliance of Good about the threat that Prime represents, and are his most personally hated enemies in the Pantheon. Thus he hopes his allies can be powerful enough to help him get his revenge and right his mistake once and for all.
• As his ultimate desire is absolute order, he detests any deity that support chaos or disorder for the sake of destruction. After all, he wouldn't let anyone else devastate possible things for him to conquer, chief among said enemies are Don Thousand and Dharkon, two beings of pure chaos who embody darkness, as both things he opposes, he does not find anything positive to say about the two, and seeks to eventually exterminate them for good. On similar grounds he despises good aligned chaotic deities, particularly Discord, as his good nature rubs off Horde Prime rather badly, while Discord loathes how Prime's controlling tendencies are taken to very cruel extremes and how he imposes that order. Similarly the chaotic-oriented Barian Emperors are among his enemies, as they find him as horrible as Don Thousand and Eliphas were.
  • In a similar manner, he's rather opposed to the existence of the chaotic GOLB, viewing the entity's existence as a mistake. Though he can't quite figure out how to be rid of it, so at most he's hoping his allies can help in its downfall.
• Needless to say, all rebellious deities are his enemies, as it was a rebellion that led to his downfall. Chief among the rebels are The entire Rebel Alliance and their allies and the aforementioned Lelouch Vi Britannia, the sentiment is mutual on the other deities' part, with Prime hoping to eventually crush them all under his metaphorical foot and prove their "rebellion" as a weak and faulty ideology that will never defeat his control.
• The fact that his chips can be stealthily implanted and even Greater Gods can fall under his control, has made Horde Prime's presence a catalyst for a greater sense of paranoia and mistrust as Deities have to watch out for any possibility of being "chipped" and thus brainwashed. Likewise, technicians in the Pantheon have made sure to create methods to remove the chips should a chipped Deity be caught.

Demigods

Cornelius Fudge

Cornelius Oswald Fudge, God of Head-in-the-Sand Management

• Demigod
• Symbol: The Ministry of Magic symbol.
• Alignment: Lawful Stupid intially, Lawful Good after his Heel–Face Turn
• Portfolio: Head-in-the-Sand Management, Bitch in Sheep's Clothing, Kangaroo Court, Horrible Judge of Character, Meaningful Name, Pointy-Haired Boss, Being Truly Dumb, Obstructive Zealot, Taking Level In Douchebaggery, Turn in Your Badge, What Happened to the Mouse?.
• Domains: Law, Leadership, Willful Obliviousness, Stupidity, Jerkiness.
• On speaking terms with: Dolores Umbridge
• Enemies: Count Dooku, Lord Voldemort
• Opposed by: Harry Potter, Albus Dumbledore, Everyone else from Hogwarts, Josiah Bartlet, The Charmed Ones
• Cornelius Fudge was the Minister of Magic at Hogwarts at the time that Harry Potter first enrolled there. In the beginning, he appeared kindly to Harry and seemed to get along decently with most in Hogwarts in general. However, behind the scenes he would constantly seek the consultation of Headmaster Albus Dumbledore as well as Ministry official Bartemius Crouch Sr. for nearly every single decision he made. However, when adversity came with the return of Lord Voldemort, Fudge was given the full scoop on a test of character that was anything but secret, and he will be the first to admit that he absolutely failed.
  • Dumbledore told him point blank what the stakes were. Should he accept the reality of Voldemort's return, remove the Dementors from Azkaban, and send envoys to the Giants, he will be remembered as one of the bravest and greatest Ministers of Magic; if Fudge refuses, he will be remembered as the man who stepped aside and allowed Voldemort to destroy everything the Wizarding World has tried so hard to rebuild. Rather than admit then and there that Voldemort had risen, he refused to accept the evidence and act accordingly. Instead, Fudge had Crouch's Death Eater son, Barty Crouch Jr., subjected to the Dementor's Kiss rather than allow him to stand trial and testify what he knew to be true, then would embark on leading the Ministry into a smear campaign to discredit the Headmaster and the Boy Who Lived, all out of fear of the world of war that he would have to live in if he accepted the truth.
  • Harry and Dumbledore became his worst enemies for a long time after that, a situation purely of his own making... until one day Voldemort, having accumulated power thanks to Fudge's inaction, appeared before him and other Ministry members at the Ministry Atrium. Shaken, Fudge realized that all he had done was put off the inevitable and make it that much worse. He announced that Voldemort truly was back as Dumbledore had claimed, desperately endured two weeks of furious pressure from the public and the media for failing to act (including a failed attempt to get Harry and Dumbledore to lie for him as well as Voldemort collapsing the Brockdale Bridge when Fudge wouldn't hand him the Ministry), before finally turning in his resignation in disgrace.
  • "The Cornelius Fudge School of Crisis Management" became absolutely infamous as a most catastrophic example of willfully blind management creating an opening for disaster not only in the history of the Wizarding World, but throughout the omniverse of fiction. Moreover, he himself knew that he fully deserved this, beginning to wise up and atone for his ways. His ultimate fate saw him enter a gateway to the Pantheon, where he was deified under the title of Head-in-the-Sand Management.
• Fudge resides in the House of Leadership and claims to help the Grand United Alliance of Good in matters of magic, particularly as this follows his Heel–Face Turn. However, he's pretty useless compared to other non-action authority figures on the side of good. Nobody is letting him live his horrible tenure as Minister down, so very few of Cosmos' heroes will take him at his word on anything without verifying it first.
• He can't refuse to acknowledge that the threat of the Grand United Alliance of Evil exists, for example, having learned his lesson and turned around his worldview against that particular strategy. However he does maintain a tendency to seek easy solutions rather than directly tackle the trouble that comes his way on the job, earning harsh rebukes from the likes of Josiah Bartlet and The Charmed Ones. Count Dooku considers him to be an enemy, as with all others who are Lawful Stupid.

• No relation: Agent Washington
• George Washington is one of the most well-known American citizens, and for good reason. He was the first US President (John Adams was his Vice President and the second US President), commander in chief of the Continental Army during the American Revolution, and one of the most important(if not THE most) Founding Fathers. Despite being one of the greatest presidents and the nation's first leader, he didn't want the position and stepped down after his second term. He'd die a couple years later, but has been immortalized in the minds of his people and his successors.
• Prefers to go by Mr President, or just General Washington. Very uncomfortable having anything king-related to him, an offer he personally refused. When a piece of Eden showed what he'd be like as king, he was horrified. Especially since it ended up being a DLC alternate history.
• Steve Rogers immediately began fanboying upon meeting Washington, and to his utter delight the first president was incredibly proud of him and what he's accomplished for both the nation and world at large. Apparently he has an ancestor Steven Rogers who also donned a Captain America title in the Revolutionary War. He and the other dead presidents Came Back Wrong as zombies dedicated to destroying America and rebuilding it from the ashes. Does not like to be reminded of this or Deadpool, though is at least glad that his insane zombie self was taken out.
  • It comes to no surprise that America itself gave him a big old hug. And for once, Washington cracked a big old grin.
• As the first US President, he is venerated by almost every other president to come afterwards. Theodore Roosevelt and John F Kennedy were really happy to meet him, and Washington was proud of their accomplishments in office. He was a little bit wary of Roosevelt's 1912 election bid since he set a standard of only having two terms, but is otherwise happy with him. He is not happy to learn of Richard Nixon's head in a jar. Like the other presidents, he thinks Senator Armstrong is insane.
• Fine with taking a supporting role in his house. He seems to understand the stress Artanis goes through with leadership, and Jim Raynor for being a rebel leader. He detests Arcuturus Mengsk for becoming what he was fighting against, which he personally went to steps to avoid. Not a fan of Nikita Dragovich or Vladimir Makarov either.
• It's said that he cannot and Will Not Tell a Lie. He chopped down his father's cherry tree and immediately confessed. Though personally honest, his spy ring during the revolution makes lying a necessity. Whenever he's in the presence of Timmy and his fairies, Washington becomes obsessed with chopping down any wood around him. He, Franklin and Thomas Jefferson ended up getting into some time travel antics with Timmy. Their opinion on him is still mixed.
• Given his importance, a number of time-travelling events surround him, usually undoing the revolution. Asides from Timmy Turner's screw-up, the Planet Express crew once altered things(they managed to put it back) and Willy Lumpkin alerted British troops before the Fantastic Four put history back to normal. Vandal Savage attempted to replace him with Illuminati look-alike Adam Weisshaupt. As if his Historical Rap Sheet wasn't big enough.
• Most would rather gloss over his more negative traits, such as some of his more controversial tactical decisions in the Revolutionary War, treatment of American Indians and ownership of slaves. He was still a man of his time and has no issues abandoning slavery in the pantheon. He's actually happy to see that the nation was able to truly become one where all men are equal, even if it's taking him some time to adapt to the 21st century.
• No, his teeth are not wood. He has dentures, but made of stuff like ivory. He's had tooth problems throughout his life, and it's one of the reasons he usually frowns. The modern medicine in the pantheon has really helped with that and given him some better dentures. Also, while a brilliant general in some regards a lot of his strategies were over-complicated and lost more battles than he won in the American Revolution. However his victories were some of the Continental Army's greatest, and he knew how to survive losses. He doesn't like Zapp Brannigan one bit, since 99% of his battles are sheer incompetence or exhausting his soldiers, while Washington's A Father to His Men.
  • Has the highest rank of any US soldier, being six stars. It's illegal to have a higher rank. Learning Zapp Brannigan had become a 25-star general caused him to facepalm. As a head in a jar.
• According to Barney Stinson his ancestor Barnabus was friends with him and Benjamin Franklin, and helped write the "Bro Code". He and Ben also participated in a "Devil's Threeway". George scoffs at this story, though wouldn't be surprised if Franklin was involved. He tends to get mad at the accusation he and his descendants were cannibals. It's not like he even had children, and was most likely sterile due to illness at a young age.
• As a Founding Father, the Enclave's America horrifies him. Before the war they weren't above things like Unwilling Robotization, censorship, or using concentration camps. After the war, they weren't above global genocide if it meant becoming the sole and pure heirs of the world. Contrasting this is his support of Superman, due to being one of the greatest superheroes of all time and the fact he fights for truth, justice and the American way. Also, he's helped saved at least the Earth itself on hundreds of occasions. He's completely supportive of Optimus Prime as well as he believes in freedom for all sentient beings.
• Speaking of robots, the SCP Foundation made sure to check if the figure that ascended was the real George Washington or SCP-2776. George was downright appalled to learn about said automaton counterpart of himself, specially his radical behavior.
• Thanks to time-travelling to 1773, Ben Tennyson learned he was one of the original Earth Plumbers (or Plumbiers as they were known back then). He has connections to the Men in Black because of this.
• This interview with Timmy Turner suggests that he has an unhealthy obsession with chopping wood. Washington has yet to address these claims.
• Among his fans stands Sarge, who apparently once drafted him to the Red Army and is trying to bring him back. In any case, George accepted the helmet worn by that incarnation◊ as a gift and keeps it in his temple, and has ever since shown interest in visiting the House of Theater, sometimes even wanting to help with production.
• Not fond of Queen Medb after her forces killed him during the E Plurius Unum singularity.

The Sultan of Agrabah

Sultan Hamed Bobolonius II of Agrabah, God of Clueless Bosses (The Sultan, Little Bobo)

• Demigod
• Symbol: His turban
• Alignment: Neutral Good
• Portfolio: Clueless Boss, Horrible Judge of Character, Having Hidden Competence, Adoring His Daughter, Adipose Rex, Nice Guy, Wealthy, Friendly Sultan, Reasonable, If Gullible Authority Figures, Weak-Willed (unless it involves his daughter), The Good King
• Domains: Royalty, Childishness, Gullibility, Friendliness, Fathers
• Followers: The King of Papland, Daniel Clamp, King Theodon, Trebonius Artorius
• Allies: Princess Jasmine, Aladdin and their allies (his daughter and son-in-law), Ariel, King Triton, Sonic the Hedgehog, Haru Okumura, Chrom, Pops Maellard, Tyrion Lannister, Tommen Baratheon, the other Aladdin
• Enemies: JAFAR (his former vizier), Hans Westergard, Gaston, Prime Minister Honest, Tywin Lannister, The Child Abuse Supporters, Apophis, Joffrey Baratheon
• Avoids: The House of Betrayal and Treachery (except Angel and Zuko)
• Sultan Hamed Bobolonius II, or just The Sultan for short, is the leader of the nation of Agrabah. Despite this, he is rather childish and gullible, though ultimately kindhearted. For starters, even ignoring Jafar's hypno-staff he was far from a good judge of character and let himself be manipulated. Ironically when he's not being a Puppet King, he's rather effective at leading.
• Jafar wasn't happy at the Sultan ascending. He never liked working under him as he felt Surrounded by Idiots, and after the usurping stunt he pulled. There are others who wish to abuse his Weak-Willed status, however. Prime Minister Honest sees a soul similar to the child emperor he served as Evil Chancellor to, and wants to pull the same trick twice with the Sultan.
• Set himself up with King Triton. He is a fellow Disney king with a somewhat rebellious daughter, and despite his flaws is a loving dad. They play Red Oni, Blue Oni with each, but which depends on the situation. Looking at his daughter and son-in-law, the Sultan found Prince Eric a pleasant chap, and is glad that his and Triton's daughter are friends.
• Was once a follower of Puppet King Tommen Baratheon. The two got along, as they both fundamentally good-hearted and Spoiled Sweet characters who have to deal with manipulative puppet masters controlling them. Hanging out with Tommen led to him becoming revolted by his brother Joffrey, who only uses his position to abuse his power. Tyrion wants to advise the Sultan into having a stronger will, and Tywin seems rather annoyed by the Sultan while the Sultan holds him in contempt for his abusive parenting.
• He doesn't care who his daughter marries, she's fine if she marries for love. He was sad to hear that Haru Okumura was pushed into a bad marriage contract by her father, and was happy to see that she managed to break out of it. He was sad that it involved her father's death, though. This further plays on why he has no respect for Tywin Lannister, who simply responded "you're far too idealistic for your own good, and you'll see what I mean with Westeros".
• Naturally the Sultan has nothing good to say about the Child Abuse Supporters. He may be Weak-Willed, but not in matters that involve his daughter. And he does not tolerate those trying to marry themselves off to his family for their own selfish reasons. He was well warned of Hans Westergard and has tried to make him a Persona Non Grata from Agrabah. And he doesn't care for the selfish and bull-headed Gaston due to how he views women.
• Due to Jafar's use of snakes, he was already wary of Apophis. Upon being informed of Apophis being a monstrous snake destroyer god, that wariness immediately became fear and hate. Given Jafar's actions, he naturally would rather stay away from the House of Betrayal. The exceptions to this are Angel who's Heel–Face Turn was caused by Defecting for Love, and Zuko due to being a prince that escaped an abusive household and became a better person.
• Sonic once ended up in the 1001 nights, where he dealt with an evil genie named Erazor Djinn. It's implied that he may be a stand-in for Aladdin there. The Sultan was very interested in this parallel, and seems to like the hedgehog's carefree spirit and attitude. The Sultan's fond of the other Aladdin as well.
• In the past he has gone on a number of adventures. He may be gullible and childish, but he can be pretty talented in both diplomacy and action. Perhaps this is why he gets along with Pops, as they're both childish leaders yet capable of some surprising endeavors. The Sultan has formed a diplomatic alliance with fellow patriarch, Chrom.
• He was deeply ashamed to learn of his Once Upon a Time counterpart for being a colder, nastier figure. There, Jafar is his illegitimate child and abandoned him, which fueled much of his anger at the world (though it doesn't excuse his actions). This very much disturbs the Sultan in the pantheon.

Quasideities

Bill Lumbergh

William "Bill" Lumbergh, God of Mean Bosses

• Quasideity
• Symbol: The Initech Logo◊
• Alignment: Lawful Neutral
• Portfolio: Affably Evil (in a very passive-aggressive way), Jerkass, Kick the Dog, Mean Pointy-Haired Boss at Initech, Smug Snake, "...yeah, that would be great/terrific."
• Domains: Work, Bosses
• Followers: Mr. Spacely, Mr. Smitty, Dr. Kelso, Marty Wolf
• Allies: Mr. Burns, Pointy Haired Boss, Mr. Krabs, Carol/Mom
• Enemies: Homer Simpson, Benson
• Opposed by: Michael Scott, Hank Hill, Clark Kent/Superman
• Annoyed by: Beavis and Butt-Head
• William “Bill” Lumbergh is a division Vice President of the software company Initech. He serves as a micromanager who is focused on pointless paperwork such as TPS reports have been known to make people work on Saturdays and continously order Milton to move his desk to increasingly absurd locations.
• His temple is an exact replica of the Initech building where he continues to micromanage his employees. One of his biggest allies is the Pointy Haired Boss due to both of them being micromanagers and the PHB also being a Mean Boss (at least in his earlier years). The two can be seen having conversations every now and then. He and Mr. Krabs are also on good terms.
• Is not well-liked by Homer Simpson given that he works for a mean boss. However, he does get along well with Mr. Burns due to their ways of managing their employees.
  • Michael Scott also opposes him as the former always wants to be seen as a fun boss. Even if he annoys his employees.
  • Clark Kent also opposes him given his experiences with people like him such as Perry White and Morgan Edge.
  • Benson isn’t on good terms with him either. Sure, he may be a jerkass, but only because he had to deal with the likes of Mordecai and Rigby. As such, he refuses to be associated with him.
• While they have the same creator in Mike Judge, he often gets annoyed with Beavis and Butt-Head’s antics. As such, he sometimes has to keep an eye on them.
  • For a similar reason, Hank Hill has an odd relation with the man as he reminded him of his boss’ screw-ups that he had to deal with, though he was still able to see said boss’ nobler side.
• Has been known for beginning his requests with “Yeah, I'm gonna need you to” and ending them with “That'd be greaaaaaaaaat.” For some reason, they have been exploited by other gods as their way of requesting something.
• There is a rumor that he died when the Initech building was set on fire. So far, Lumbergh neither confirmed nor denied this.
• Also has a seat in Personality.

Hopper

Hopper, God of Making an Example of Others (Hoppy)

• Quasideity
• Symbol: An ant beneath his foot
• Theme Song: Hopper and his gang
• Alignment: Neutral Evil
• Portfolio: Big Bad, The Bully, Almost Never Smiles, Makes Examples Of Others To Keep Them From Thinking, Vile Villain, Saccharine Show, Sadist, Lives For The Thrill Of Oppression, Suppresses A Numerically Superior Force To Keep Them From Revolting (Ultimately Stops Working), Bad Boss, The Sociopath (except to his mom), Devoured By A Baby Goldfinch
• Domains: Oppression, Intimidation, Bullies, Harvest, Greed, Grasshoppers
• Allies: Lotso, Frank Underwood, Darkseid, Big Brother and the GUAE Dystopia Harbingers, Scar (The Lion King)
• Rivals: Queen Sectonia, the Radiance (his end only)
• Enemies: Flik and Z, Jimminy Cricket, Barry B Benson, Atom Ant, Hank Pym, Bug-type Pokémon, Kirin Toudo, James Henry Trotter and those who overcome fear
• Fears: Birds, Maui, Timon and Pumbaa, Them!, Ragnaros the Firelord, Chaac
• Respects: Thaal Sinestro
• Disrespects: Lord Djibril, Spandam
• Hopper is the leader of a group of grasshoppers who take foods from the ants every winter. A domineering bug to ants and grasshoppers alike, he makes an example in showing he's in charge to prevent the ants from realizing as a group, they can overpower them. Sure one little ant is as harmless as a grain, but en masse? When his demands aren't met, he threatens to crush the queen.
• Hopper hates ants in general, and to say he was upset by Flik already being part of the pantheon would be an understatement. He regards Atom Ant to be a bigger threat than Flik, but has a lot more personal vendetta against Flik. Hank Pym isn't an actual ant, but Hopper regards him as much of a threat of Atom Ant for his power to command ants and the fact he could easily squish Hopper like an inse-well, you get the point.
• While he hates ants the most and consider them lower than dirt, he honestly doesn't respect other bugs in general. He seems to dislike Bug type Pokemon in part because they're a lot bigger than he's used to and thus harder to control. Jimminy Cricket doesn't like him given how amoral he is, and Hopper doesn't care for the cricket's advice. Barry B Benson doesn't like for his oppressive nature anyway.
• Hopper is well aware that as a grasshopper, he doesn't pose a physical threat to humans. This is particularly true with Kirin Tudo and James Henry Trotter, as they have overcome their fear and he is concerned they will be an example to insects he wishes to dominate. However he does have a working relationship with Frank Underwood, who reminds Hopper of himself and he respects the man's ruthlessness and means of securing power. However it's at most a friendship as while they like talking to each other, being a grasshopper doesn't help much with the president's cause.
• Lotso shares a similar belief of making an example of others and being repressive like Hopper. The two are arguably the darkest Pixar villains, and they soon came to the idea they would be better working as a team. The two also share a belief that Virtue Is Weakness. Many see this as Hopper "working up the food chain", and Lotso believes he should consider overcoming humans by using the grasshopper numbers to devour their food and starve them out like a locust
  Hopper: "As a group we'd be powerful? That's awfully ant-like...but as much as I hate to admit it, it gets results when enough thought is put into it".
• Hopper holds a lot of fondness for Darkseid and the Harbingers of Repression, as they are his kind of people. He likes Big Brother's ethos of "a boot trampling on a face forever", and hopes to apply it to ants. However being a grasshopper, he can't contribute much even though he wants to. Darkseid is fine with him being a member as he believes in The Evils of Free Will towards all sentient beings, even bugs.
• Hopper holds no respect towards Lord Djibril and Spandam, primarily for being total cowards. They pointed out that he's at his core The Bully so he doesn't have room to talk. Hopper pointed out that he was infuriated, not outwardly terrified when the ants rebelled. They just pointed out they could easily crush him with their fingers, but by that point Hopper left as he felt he got his point across. He'd later add that he doesn't care for Spandam bossing around people stronger than him, as he has demonstrated dominance over his own men.
• Utterly terrified of birds. This isn't to say he's a coward, as demonstrated by his disrespect to Djibril and Spandam. Being that one of his eyes was injured in a scuffle with a bird, and he was fed to baby goldfinches, his phobia is justified. He is also scared of the giant ants known as Them!, as they are every concern he has of the ants magnified. Like most bugs he has a healthy amount of fear for Ragnaros the Firelord, given his habit of burning INSECTS! Ironically he equally fears the rains of Chaac as this was the weather condition that led to his demise. Plus there's the fact that raindrops have a fair bigger impact for an insect.
  • Amusingly Hopper is terrified of Timon and Pumbaa of all deities, due to them being consummate insectivores. More understandably he fears Maui for his ability to turn into a giant hawk.
• The scar on his eye has reminded some of Scar, though he's not partially blind because of it. Scar has a more laissez-faire attitude to ruling, but they are both cruel authoritarians who drain resources dry for their own goals. Naturally the two get along. Still, unlike Scar Hopper was in good terms with his mother and it's why he refrains from getting rid of his incompetent brother. He also enjoys a good circus. He doesn't have enough standards to argue against Scar's fraticide though, so it's not like it's a problem for their alliance.
  • Another similarity is that they both died by being devoured. Neither likes talking about it.
• Hopper may not care about order in itself, but he does respect Sinestro and his Sinestro Corps for managing to weaponizing and instilling fear. Sinestro is fine with letting an insect enter given one of the Sinestro Corps members is a virus and the Green Lantern Corps had a fly as one of theirs, but first he must re-affirm that he can instill great fear. And after that he needs to go into a Fear Lodge and overcome his phobia of birds. Hopper admits it's a long road ahead before he reaches that point, but it would be oh so worth it.
• Wishes to become the head of all Insects, and getting in the way of that is Queen Sectonia and especially the Radiance. Hopper really, really wishes he and his grasshoppers could supplant them. However at the end of the day he knows he doesn't stand a chance against them. They don't even recognize Hopper's existence, and Radiance merely regards him as another bug to infect.
