Character Types, Attributes And Other Characterization

The House of Characterization was built to deal with the overcrowded state of the House of Narrative. It is one of the more mundane houses, being a massive flat surrounded by a garden for the occupants' relaxation. Most gods there are concerned about other houses' activities, rather than their own. The internal drama from the residents is a lot more interesting, however.

There's a conference room for the residents, whom by house rules must behave there or they'll be forced out for some time. The social media and blogging community in the Trope Pantheon is most concentrated here.

Carl Jung

Carl Gustav Jung, God of Archetypes (Karl)

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/carl_gustav_jung_9811.jpg

Demigod
Symbol: Jung's Map of Twelve Common Archetypes
Alignment: True Neutral
Portfolio: Jungian Concepts Including Archetypal Character, Shadow Archetype, Symbols, Concept of Collective Unconscious, Codified Extraversion-Introversion Duality, Intuition
Domains: Psychology, Archetype, Shadow, Collective Consciousness
Rivals: Sigmund Freud
Clients: Many Persona users
Carl Jung, a psychologist from Switzerland, who became influential in psychology for his school of psychotherapy: Analytical Psychology. His idea was how the human is always bound by the Collective Unconscious which holds archetypes and universal symbols, and how humans would develop a balance of the conscious and the unconscious and become true individuals or "selves".
- Since his ascension, he is open to any sessions on psychotherapy, human or monsters. Heroes or villains. Mortals or immortals. Anything of all shapes, sizes, ages, etc.
He views his own ascension as not a literal ascension from the mortal world, but more of the growth of personal individuality, or finding a "self" as a different individual in a different world. Finding and understanding the true "self" of others is part of his theories, you know.
Due to the influence of Philemon and Nyarlathotep, he found that his research has reached its pinnacle as Personas and Shadows exist as a physical manifestation of human minds and emotions. He even described Philemon as the "wise spirit guide" in his research. Philemon has noted that he is capable of becoming a Persona-user himself since he has yet to understand his true potential.
- He has opened up many personal appointments with many Persona-users in order to do further research and understanding on Personas and Shadows.
- He even considered investigating the Midnight Channel for analysis on the Shadows created by the denial of the truth and reality, though he is warned by the Investigation Team that he should never venture in there without them until he awakens his own Persona first. He has taken that into account.
- That said, Igor apparently claims that Jung was actually one of the original Persona-Users. That's certainly not the case for this one, but in case he's turned out to have forgotten during his ascension process, Jung is prepared to take the trip if need be.
He makes routine appointments at the Hall of Character Archetypes, given that his doctrine revolves around archetypes and universal symbols.
He found deities from various mythologies in the Pantheon fascinating as he found connections of various deities from archetypes. For example, he connects Odin and Merlin with the Wise Old Man archetype. He found mythology to be fascinating as he believes that all mythology is part of human unconsciousness to explain the unknown and has similar patterns within their mythos.
- According to Jung, he defined twelve primary types of human personality and motivations: The Innocent, the Everyman, the Hero, the Caregiver, the Explorer, the Rebel, the Lover, the Creator, the Jester, the Sage, the Magician, and the Ruler. The whole reason he is quite intrigued with the Pantheon because of many people of different "selves" and motivations that may prove or disprove his theories and wish to further understand the Pantheon around him.
Both he and Sigmund Freud had a quarrel in the past due to Jung emphasizing myth and religions in his studies, which Freud believes enables neurosis. Freud himself is an atheist and he regards religion as a flight from dealing with real problems. Since then, they made boundaries so that they never interfere with each other work.

Impa is a name associated with the woman of the Sheikah Tribe, a mysterious tribe who guarded the Royal Family of Hyrule (or more specifically, the Goddess Hylia). These incarnation of Impa has only one important purpose: to protect Princess Zelda and she intent to do so from any dangers.
Impa is constantly different from every incarnation, much like how Link, Zelda, and Ganondorf. Her appearance, as one can see, can differ in age, size, and method of mentorship, even as a large, fat woman. However, there are two archetypes that are consistent in her role of guardianship: one as a young warrior who will fight for her liege, and the other as an old mentor and nursemaid who leads through wisdom.
As her name is passed down from the Sheikah Tribe and given to women who would be given the purpose of protecting Princess Zelda, she is found to be a more suitable to this purpose of legacy than the Phantom, where he takes up the legacy to the point of being mistaken as "immortal."
Strangely, as she ascended in the Pantheon to guard her lady, many Gossip Stones sprung from the ground everywhere in the Pantheon. As she is the only known deity to understanding the Stones due to owning a Mask of Truth, she knows the secret and information of the Pantheon and some of the deities.
It is said that she made Zelda an honorary member of the Sheikah as Zelda assumed the identity of Sheik in order to hide from Ganondorf in his seven-year reign of terror.
Impa respects Alfred Pennysworth due to his loyalty and servitude to Bruce Wayne, much like her servitude to Princess Zelda.
Due to her training as a warrior resemble that of ninjas, she earned some respect by many ninja in such. Though she doesn't respect to evil ninjas as she had to deal with a splinter faction known as the Yiga Clan who sided with Ganon and betrayed their loyalty to the Goddess.
Due to the reclusive nature of her tribe, much of her culture and past is left in the shadows. It is only through some word of mouth that her people used to be an advanced civilization until they were feared by the people of Hyrule which forced them to abandoned them. Despite this, Impa expected the people would both feared and be tempted by the power and dependence of the technology, much like the Triforce.
Impa has been in charge of dealing with evil spirits as she once sealed away Bongo Bongo in the bottom of the Kakariko Village's well. With that said, she is more likely going to destroy them as they are proven to be too powerful for simple sealing. Considering that her village is near the Shadow Temple which hosts many evil spirits and the undead, she is not taking any chances with the dead in the Pantheon.
- It is said that her people honored the dead as her village's graveyard is the resting place of many loyal citizens, the Royal Family of Hyrule, many Sheikahs, and even the Zora King. Her people would watch the spirits of the dead, even in their eternal slumber, making it clear that she is vigilant of spirit that may cause harm to the living.

Before she took a level in sanity, she got along with Nui pretty well due to their Ax-Crazy attitudes. Eventually, though Muzét became much saner and saw Nui as an enemy. Nui was more amused than anything.
Muzét tends to go to the House of Magic and Sorcery and the House of Fighting and Combat and look for someone to Tether with. Most everyone is put off by it since she gives off creepy vibes.
- Lucy however gets along with her well and even feels sorry for her. Once Muzét got over her insanity, she offered to Direct-Tether with her. Muzét declined for now, but visits Lucy often.
Muzét once ran into Roy Mustang and was surprised that he sounded a lot like Gaius. When she offered to Direct-Tether with him, Mustang agreed. He came to regret it once she got a bit clingy.
Once stole food from the House of Food since she didn't know stealing was wrong. Since then she isn't allowed back unless she's under supervision.
Since she is a powerful spirit, she technically doesn't wear clothes since she makes them out of mana. A few people in the House of Personal Appearance were a bit jealous at first.
Her ability to cut through dimension has made her a bit of a target for the more evil gods.
After discovering that Gaius had ascended, Muzét was overjoyed and decided to go bug her former mana tethering partner. Some have teased it's more than just friends.

The eternal underdog, Luigi is the heroic younger brother of Mario, even if he is bigger. Like Mario, he was just a simple plumber helping Mario fix the plumbing in Brooklyn, and just like Mario, he ended up in the Mushroom Kingdom and became a hero of the land alongside Mario. However, while he still got a decent amount of respect, many just saw Luigi as Green Mario. It didn't help that at first, he really was just green Mario, being created just to be the player 2 to Mario. However, as time went on, he was able to develop and get his own unique personality and skill set. He became faster and an even higher jumper than Mario, at the cost of being slippery to control, and his personality reflected that. He was a more eccentric figure than Mario, being more easily scared and startled, prone to more jokes, and just being more Adorkable than his brother. These differences ended up stacking as he proved that he wasn't just a Mario clone, and was enough to stand out within the Pantheon.
As Mario's profile alluded to, Luigi ascended with his brother after joining him in his platforming challenge to get up to the Pantheon, and was given the title of Stuck in Their Shadow. While humiliated, Luigi took it while Mario wanted to try and find a new proper title for Luigi. It would take a good while for that chance to show. King Boo teamed up with Petey Piranha to bust free the captured ghosts that E. Gadd had in his temple. Due to any ghost hunters being out at the time, E Gadd was trapped within a painting as King Boo emptied the gallery clean. By the time one of the more docile ghosts E. Gadd got to help around the lab and managed to free him by using the dark light device, it was too late, and E. Gadd had to quickly sound the alarm to let the Pantheon know what was happening. Luigi was once more called to the fight alongside the likes of the Ghostbusters and Danny Fenton to lurk around the Pantheon to track each one back down. While obviously scared out of his mind with others taking note of his fright, he still stood his ground and went after King Boo with them, even saving Mario who got captured by King Boo yet again. After thanking Luigi and hearing the others tell Mario about how great Luigi is despite his scaredy-cat nature inspired Mario to help Luigi change his trope to Divergent Character Evolution to represent his unique personality. Now with his new title, Luigi feels more proud of his status as a god within the Pantheon, and made it his mission to help out others who feel trapped by other's feats to become their own unique beings.
As previously stated, his main defining feature showing how different he is from Mario is his Cowardly Lion nature. Even if he is scared out of his mind, he will still go out and give his all to help ensure the safety of those he loves. His compassion can even extend to ghosts if he feels like they are truly nice and decent folks, like the Polterpup. He even managed to find Morty, a ghost who wanted to just make movies instead of haunt or scare others, and to make up for capturing him the first time, after getting all the other ghosts back, he decided to ask the Court Of The Gods if he could get his own temple. Surprised by his care for a ghost, they decided to oblige his request. Luigi got an earful from E. Gadd for that move because he let a potentially priceless ghost escape, but many others see this as doing the right thing. One such being was Courage The Cowardly Dog, who is impressed with how Luigi can still keep fighting for what's right even if he's haunted by powerful otherworldly threats. The two often join up with one another when they're scared and going through a haunted place and need someone to just be close to for comfort.
- During one of these expeditions, Luigi ended up meeting with two other scaredy-cats; Scooby-Doo and Shaggy Rogers. As it turns out, they both were there for the same reason; Dark Danny managed to escape and cause havoc within The Monster Sanctuary while Danny was out stopping Vlad from mind-controlling the world. Dark Danny wanted to see if he could convert and create his own dark versions of the Olympus Mons, The Spectral Familiars. Thanks to their combined efforts and Dark Danny underestimating them, Shaggy and Scooby were able to distract him for long enough to be led into a trap with Courage using the Dark Matter Meteor to force Dark Danny to stay still as Luigi vacuumed him up with his Poltergust G-00, able to force him into a painting to keep him at bay for a while. After this feat, the group became fast friends, with Luigi being more than happy to go on ghost-busting trips with them should the need arise. Also helps that Shaggy is practicing honing his powers after eating a magic rock crystal thinking it was rock candy, and Luigi will take all the help he can get to not be scared.
Alongside Mario, Luigi is much stronger than anyone, even himself, believes. His own nemesis, King Boo, can open a portal with enough power to destroy the entire dimension, and Luigi managed to stop him even after he went into his own dimension to become a Reality Warper to try and take down Luigi. Then there is the fact his own subconscious is capable of duplicating clones of himself to protect Mario, grow to massive sizes, and easily beat up The Zeekeeper and an even more powerful version of giant Bowser, giving Luigi's subconscious some surprising strength. And of course, him beating Dreamy Bowser, The Megabug, Cursa, and being the Apocalypse Maiden for Dimentio to control as Mr. L in a Class Z scenario cements that he is far stronger than he thinks, even getting promoted to Greater God status and placed as one of The Representatives of Characterization. He's flattered and a bit bashful of all this praise, but he promised to take this new position in stride in his quest to help others stand out and be unique and proud.
- On his quest to help get a list of Palette Swaps that can be their own character, he ended up coming across Ken Masters, another character who started his life as a clone before becoming a new character. Ken enjoyed the thought of what Luigi aspired by proving Palette Swaps can be just as strong and unique as their original copies and invited him to spar with him against Sakura Kasugano, a Fangirl who wanted to copy and be like her idol Ryu, and Joe Higashi, an arrogant fighter who wants to stand out and be seen as more than a Joke Character. While apprehensive about the fight, he still went along with it, and was able to show off his strength against them, and got to befriend them after the fight, liking Sakura's peppy and energetic desire to match Ryu's might, and managed to become a Friendly Rival to Joe. Ken appreciates and loves what Luigi represents for all Palette Swaps, and the two of them can be seen sparring and working out together, talking about other Palette Swaps that could be characters and stand out more.
- His role of being the Apocalypse Maiden is one he doesn't really like to talk about for obvious reasons. However, sooner or later, his mouth was forced open upon seeing Dimentio floating casually in front of his temple, as if nothing happened. And those first words he said about the subject were screams of terror as he bolted from the scene to alert everyone about who is up. To help ensure that Dimentio's plan of multiversial destruction and reworking in his own image doesn't come to pass, the court of the gods decided to place the Chaos Heart into Maximum Security, and labelled Dimentio as someone on the ban list for the entire temple. While Dimentio has made multiple attempts to swindle the heart from under The Living Tribunal's eyes, such efforts still haven't work. While some prophecies have hinted at it being used and taken, the culprit has yet to be determined, even as The Living Tribunal looks into matters to ensure that it will remain unused.
Regardless of how many mansions he keeps going into and ghosts he keeps sucking up with his Poltergust vacuums, he's still one that is easily scared and meek, especially in the face of other ghosts. Despite some people finding it weird that the ghouls he faced before can still startle him, they are way more forgiving towards him when it comes to the more deadly ghosts the Pantheon has to offer. One such instance was when he was tasked with the unenviable task of going through the house of Ghosts to try and take down a threat to them that invaded their home in a moment of rage, that being none other than Alma Wade herself. Due to being attacked by her first and getting sent straight to her Almaverse, he ended up having to try and vacuum her up. He was almost burnt to a crisp for this, only saved thanks to a surprise intervention from one of Alma's more level-headed friends; Erma Williams. Thanks to her, Alma was able to give him her side of the story that she was assaulted by Kayako in a hit-and-run tactics-styled planned attack and came to get revenge. Luigi could only grimace at the fact that he was going to be facing off against Kayako now, lest face Alma's fury.
- Thankfully, despite ending up getting the curse of Kayako from entering her domain, completely on accident since he was already running from Alma and just hid there for a bit out of fear before racing out after seeing another ghost, Luigi still managed to prove more of a threat than Kayako expected. This is mainly due to his practice in letting a ghost cat called polterkitty sneak up to him for a sneak attack only for Gooigi to return the favor and sneak up onto her and vacuum the cat up. Even her usual tricks of hiding in his clothes didn't work as Gooigi's personality was able to just nullify any attempts to scare him, allowing him to surprise her by vacuuming her up when she least expected it. Despite all the efforts with her greatly scratching up Luigi, he was able to use Gooigi and his own power of the Poltergusts to suck her spirit up into his Poltergust, and with E. Gadd's help, was able to turn her into a portrait to keep her at bay in her house for enough time for her curse to subside before she broke free. Of course, such a feat of being able to survive and beat Kayako would be one that many ghostbusters would come to admire even if Luigi tries to remain humbled just to stay out of the gig. Him getting scared by Alma popping up mid victory dance he was doing to celebrate beating Kayako to see that he finished the job is proof enough for him that he wants out as soon as possible.
  - Of course, just because he is making an active effort to stay out of the ghostly haunting ground doesn't mean threats don't come out to haunt him whenever they want. The Flying Dutchman was one such face, ascending into the Pantheon after Spongebob and Patrick told him about it to try and prove his might and worth. As luck would have it, The Flying Dutchman decided to try and scare a high ranking figure to prove his worth into the Pantheon, and Luigi was just the victim. After a while of being scared by him turning his eyes into spiders and looting his room with skeletons, he finally faced him head-on. While laughing at Luigi's fear, Luigi was able to pull out his Poltergust and vacuum the undead pirate up. Said stunt managed to get him a spot in the Pantheon, much to Luigi's exasperation. A couple of days later, when he was passing by E. Gadd's temple, he noticed that the professor was watching an old grainy tape. Just then, he got a phone call on his Dual Scream phone, saying only "seven days" in a raspy tone. Luigi just took this as Waluigi pranking him again, and Waluigi claiming credit for the phone call when asked after he spent a while trying to make Luigi fall down a banana peel onto a flight of stairs confirmed his thoughts...at least in his mind. A week later, after seeing Sadako crawling out of his TV screen, the scream of horror could be heard throughout the entire house of Characterization. Despite the sudden appearance, he was able to fend her off with his vacuum, and upon realizing that Luigi was able to take down Kayako upon seeing letters praising him for the achievement, she decided that letting Luigi live beats getting trapped in a painting for who knows how long. Luigi had to cover the TV in his house for a month with a sheet to ensure no one else tried to crawl out of it.
One other instance of him going after a ghost was when Star Butterfly came up to his temple. While trying to get used to other ways to do magic to ensure she could still protect her ward/boyfriend Marco, she ended up accidentally summoning a ghoul called Hungry Larry, who was able to eat any human. Fearing the worst, he gulped and grabbed his Poltergust, racing out behind her. He heard that Larry was able to regurgitate all his victims up if someone inside was able to force the process. Luigi could only roll his eyes in disgust and annoyance about what he had to do next, letting himself get eaten and using the Poltergust inside to force Hungry Larry to vomit everyone out. Back to normal, Hungry Larry tried to give his lesson about what he did just before Luigi interrupted him with a flash of his strobe bulb and sucking him up into his vacuum and shooting him out into a ghost taxi.
- One enemy he wasn't equipped to deal with (in his mind at least) was the undead army of the Scourge. His own vacuuming equipment didn't do much to them, and with Luigi getting flashbacks to when he was forced to travel through the Castlevania manor and having his soul forcefully removed, Luigi once more ran off in fear, screaming as they pursued him. However, once they took notice of the Green Flu survivors group, Luigi forced himself to go out and fight the horde off with his bare hands. Managing to utilize his many power-ups to switch up his powers and finish it all off with a power star to slam through enemy lines, Luigi managed to slaughter down the entire group to a man, stunning both himself and the Green Flu survivors. Since then, he has been invited to camp out with them, and he has offered them refuge in his temple, a place far away from any zombies.
His adventures ghostbusting has led to him finding out many others aren't fans of ghosts, being able to relate to them and understand their struggles. For someone like Mako who called on him to get rid of a boo, he could completely understand that. For Alice finding some of King Boo's ghouls to be too much for him, he was just happy that the giant snake woman didn't want to constrict him to death after the ghosts were capture. However, hearing a scream louder than his own, he rushed to the House of Ambiguity to find...the normally powerful Ragna reduced to fear at the sight of a single gold ghost laughing at how mortified he was. He had to keep his laughter to himself as he vacuumed up the ghost effortlessly as Ragna than claimed he didn't actually scream that loud. Still, all three respect Luigi for being able to take care of ghosts, and when they see one and Luigi is around, they all hide behind him as he takes care of the ghosts. Luigi didn't expect to the brave one of a group, but since they still help him out whenever he meets threats greater than he could imagine, he takes it all with a grin on his face.
As previously stated, he is more than willing to befriend ghosts if they prove themselves to not be out to scare or hurt him. That said, he is eternally grateful for Erma and her compassionate nature, even apologizing to him if she scares him too hard. He has learned to take her in stride and is one of the few ghosts he is willing to comfortably call his friend, even willing to babysit her should her babysitter Felicia not be available. Despite her taste in viewing horror movies as comedies, he was able to at least bond with her over her love for Warrior Unicorn Princess, even if it was a lot more graphic than he originally thought. Her trip with him into Evershade Valley leading to her helping a boo befriend Luigi and shown distrust and hatred for King Boo, with King Boo (quite wisely) deciding to not antagonize her any further has only cemented his friendship with her. Erma was able to also introduce him to some more friendly ghosts, like C after the two of them took part in a stare off as they both were scared of each other, Casper the friendly ghost proving to live up to his namesake, and Yuyuko Saigyouji & Youmu Konpaku, where after a harmless jumpscare prank, was more than welcoming to Luigi after he recovered from falling down and screaming in fear.
- On the topic of babysitting, he was one the first ones to come across Carol Anne Freelings after hearing of an encounter between her and King Boo, forcing him to race out. He was late to the brawl against King Boo (The Ghostbusters made quick work of him), but he was able to try and help Carol feel better about what happened. While he did have trouble with that (Yotsuba was the one to help finally break her sour mood), Carol did sense that Luigi was just as scared as she was about the paranormal, and was able to find a sense of comfort in knowing that even strong adults like him can still be scared. Luigi for his part was able to not only take up babysitting duties with her when needed, but also helped her get introduced to a couple of other friendly ghosts that wouldn't want to hurt her or use her for evil. During this time, he has been singled out by Carol as the one adult within the Pantheon she trusts just as much as her parents.
If there was one individual he is scared of the most, far more than Dimentio and King Boo, it would be X/Xenophanes. Singling out Luigi as one of the most cowardly figures within the Mario universe, X decided to have some unique fun with him, different than his usual "abduct and chase" affair, and scared Luigi into running away, accidentally falling into a red ring portal, with said portal catapulting Luigi all across time and space, going through multiple different realities where darkness and fear ruled the Mushroom Kingdom.
- The first world he landed in was one where Mario was a brutal killer, being seen as a Fallen Hero. Any attempts to try and talk to him led to this version of Mario trying to stomp him out. Luigi was able to eventually survive by going past Iggy's castle and finding the warp star to go to the warp zone, with him finding another red ring portal there, hopping through it seconds before Mario attacked him with a koopa shell.
- The next world he found himself in looked to be very similar to his adventures when having a shrunken Mario Party. The main difference is that the host this time was a ringleader who wanted everyone to play fairly, and that includes entry fees. Upon seeing Luigi enter the game without paying, he called on the rest of the characters to shame him for it and force him to apologize in a minigame where he was forced to write out "I'm sorry" notes. By the time the last one was glitching out and a thwomp was about to crush him, he bolted and ran off stage, dodging the angry crowd and attempts to stop him as he forced himself into a red ring portal at the end of the hall.
- After that, the last world he ended up in a castle, seeing Mario approach another Luigi on the bridge before said Luigi revealed he was a turncoat for Bowser, and tried to kill Mario. To say they were both surprised as another Luigi jumped in to stop them from killing each was an understatement. Using the confusion to his advantage, he asked them to explain why Luigi was fighting for Bowser. Thanks to this, the villain Luigi was able to confess his feelings about feeling inferior to Mario and wanting him dead for the attention he deserves. Hearing genuine apologies from Mario and Luigi saying that the Mario in his universe also truly loves and cares for him and that he would be more than happy to listen to Luigi has led the Luigi of the creepypasta to go silent and just walk back home. His Mario thanked Luigi for the help and promised to help set things right just before a blue arm reached out of the red ring portal to pull him in.
- Finally arriving at Xenophanes's home dimension by force, X mocked him for trying to give the story a happy ending, saying that there is no place for happiness in these stories. Before managing to rip Luigi's stomach open, he found himself frozen as another ghost came in, that being none other than Clockwork himself. He heard of Luigi being missing and Luigi altering a creepypasta story to have a good ending managed to pop up on his radar as a timeline-altering event, and was able to spirit Luigi back to the Pantheon proper. Since then, Luigi has been open to talking and planning with Clockwork about helping out the timeline in the Pantheon from any more supernatural threats, and X was left screaming mad that his fun was ruined.
Wanting a vacation from all the supernatural happenings within the Pantheon, Luigi decided to book a vacation to the land of Hyrule. Due to the screwed-up nature of Hyrule's multiple timelines, he ended up managing to find himself getting sent to the world of Ocarina Of Time, filling in as the hero. Luigi was able to brave through this adventure by using his jumping prowess in a land where such power in his jumps was never experienced. Even after getting the master sword and being transported 7 years into the future, he was able to just keep jumping and attacking enemies the old-fashioned way, up to Ganon. Due to a reserve power star, Luigi was just able to blitz him and save the day. After getting returned back to his present-day appearance, he was able to make his way back home, being greeted by Daisy giving him a "You're my hero" medal (as advised by Wreck-It Ralph), much to his delight.
As much as he tries to hide the fact, he is well known for being constantly compared to as inferior to Mario. The treatment has gotten better over the years, with there even being a full year dedicated to him to show the world he means business. Said year was said to be one of the company's least lucrative years, but the attempt was still admirable for many to see. Despite his rep as the "King of Second Bananas," Luigi has managed to find a kindred spirit in Snake, who empathizes with him and defends the younger Mario brother from some scathing remarks delivered by his CO. Said call by the Colonel was from an AI copy crafted by the Patriots, but the defense was still well appreciated in his eyes, with Snake and Luigi bonding over Snake knowing what being seen as inferior to your brother could do after seeing the effects on Liquid Snake. Ron Weasley was also someone who definitely knows how siblings can make you feel like you blend into the background more. Given how not only he feels inferior to the rest of his brothers, but the fanbase as well, Luigi can understand just where Ron is coming from, and is more than open to let Ron vent his frustrations to him whenever needed. The two of them often talk with Heat Miser who has experienced these inferior brothers feelings all too well, and helps set up talks with their brothers and friends in case these feelings get to be too much. He knows just how easy it is for one to be a hothead and make mistakes before cooling down.
- Another fact he isn't that proud of himself for is his scaredy-cat nature, fearing that he is very easily scared. However, many try to tell him not to worry about that, since he is still able to rise to the occasion and help others when push comes to shove. Such a feat would present itself when Luigi was approached by the original Cowardly Lion...Cowardly Lion from the Oz gang. First congratulating him for being a shining example on how people like himself should act, he than turned to asking for help since he heard Lord Djibril had kidnapped Piglet after being jealous of his title. Wanting to help out the lion, Luigi followed behind him to the temple, seeing Lord Djibril indeep keeping Piglet tied up. After seeing someone actually not only approach his temple but manage to get past any security he tried to send their way, Lord Djibril folded quickly, offering to let Piglet leave safely as he ran off in fear. Piglet is thankful of the two, and has promised that they have a home in the Hundred Acre Woods should they just want to relax. Seeing this and all the other times he put his fears aside for others, Kyle Rayner and Jessica Cruz have promised Luigi that he has more willpower than he ever imagined, knowing about being scared yet still fighting from personal experience, a statement that was able to soothe his worries a bit.
Luigi is the prime target for people to see as the punchline of a joke. Waluigi sees Luigi as a favorite target to prank by just doing everything in his power to scare and hurt him. Even though Waluigi is even worse when it comes to being recognized, the purple plumber doesn't mind, even more than happy to use his limited fame to torment Luigi, such as stealing his presents after being one of the few surviving Nintendo characters from Galeem's attack. One day, Luigi snapped and brutally called him out on all of the bullying, driving Waluigi to tears and making Luigi feel bad and try to backpaddle, only for Waluigi to turn the tables and give him an atomic wedgie. That said, he ended up gaining a couple of surprising allies from all the bullying. One such bullying attempt ended with Jimmy Hopkins approaching Luigi and leading him away from a hallway that he learned was primed to have traps and pranks dedicated to humiliating Luigi, while Naughty Bear went in to disarm the planned pranking traps, found the perpetrator to be Snidely Whiplash pranking Luigi from Waluigi recommending him as a prime target, and shoved him into a locker as forcefully as he could. Despite their forceful attitude in getting revenge on bullies, the two managed to remain decent enough friends with Luigi, proud of him for not using his strength to bully others.
Unlike Mario and Sonic's rivalry, Luigi and Tails remained pretty level-headed, and rarely took the fight to each other save for good fun. That said, this didn't stop them from getting called to the field of Death Battle after the results of Mario and Sonic's first bout. Unfortunately for Luigi, while he was superior in all forms of combat, Tails' gadgetry trumped him in every single way. To everyone's surprise, Luigi didn't seem to mind as there was nothing that stated that he couldn't use his gadgets to his advantage. However, with their second round resulting in a favorable result for Mario, many wonder if Luigi would be able to come through and beat Tails this time around, to which Luigi tries to just keep on the down low. He rather not try his luck again after getting tricked by Tails into unveiling an explosive. The two remain on good terms despite these fights, with Tails helping Luigi and E. Gadd modify his ghost-hunting gear.
Just like Mario, when it comes to competitions, Luigi brings out his A-Game, even if he isn't as much of a Competition Freak as his brother. However, this hasn't stopped him from giving his all when it comes to go-karting. Many Mario deities have reported that Luigi has been practicing giving out some menacing death stares to anyone that he was able to hit and pass with a shell. His companions are left baffled by his unexpected behavior, but others just assume that Luigi is using these sporting events as a way to blow off steam. Considering all the abuse and frights he keeps finding himself in, even in the Pantheon, many don't fault Luigi for giving these stares, figuring he needed something to do to unwind from being haunted and humiliated after so long. Even more baffling is that in other games, namely Mario's parties, Luigi appears to sometimes be more than happy to just be there, not doing anything when doing minigames, and still winning by doing absolutely nothing.
- Somehow, if everyone else also tries the art of doing nothing at the same time, Luigi will still win. Gladstone Gander smugly challenged Luigi to a challenge for a large sum of money, with Luigi desiring to help fund more projects within the Mushroom Kingdom with the money. Tossing a check-up in the air by a neutral party, Gladstone allowed the check to flow to whoever it wanted. Even though it looked like it was going to Luigi, a sudden burst of wind blew it in Gladstone's direction...with him just missing it by a couple of inches, before blowing right back into Luigi's face, forcing Gladstone to pay Luigi a large 6-figure sum. The result shocked many within the Pantheon, as Donald Duck laughed at Gladstone for his luck failing that hard, as Scrooge McDuck tried to tell Donald to show some manners for Gladstone, before snickering under his breath, happy to see Gladstone finally realize that he may need to put some legwork into his successes from now on. As such, everyone stopped trying to outdo Luigi by doing nothing.
After hearing of Cappy's ascension, Luigi decided to set up "Luigi's Balloon Pantheon" for the Pantheon to play. The game is simple but effective; deities are given 30 seconds to hide a balloon somewhere in one of the houses in the Pantheon. The balloon must be on the ground or on a pole that can be climbed on (and NOT hidden within walls or places that are impossible to access to a normal lesser god) for it to count. Other people would try and find the hidden balloons in an allotted amount of time. He has stations set up within every single house, even the house of Villainy, though the villains there just use this as a way to settle arguments with one another. Said matches often get physical and bloody, and Luigi just floats away during the ensuing brawl before anyone can try and attack him.
Despite all his efforts, sometimes he still feels like he is still stuck behind Mario's shadow from a couple ruthless deities prodding and getting to his ego about it. One deity he found surprising comfort in was Krillin, who not only knows how it feels to know be able to quite catch up with the competition, but can still be a bit of a nervous wreck, even if he can still back it up when needed. Luigi and Krillin able to help each other find and pinpoint their strengths and be proud of their own unique skills. Hiccup was able to also join in on the conversation, having his own fear of dragons before being able to learn and understand them more, linking Luigi's expertise in ghost hunting to it. As such, despite still being scared of the undead, Luigi felt more comfortable in his experience with the ghouls of the Pantheon.
- One day, Luigi ended up finding an army of ghosts and boos convening on Halloween Town, with King Boo fighting Jack in the middle of it all. Despite his horror at the town, Luigi mustered his strength and barged in, able to help Jack relieve the army of ghosts. During the fight, he bumped into an skeleton in armor and a sword, resulting in him screaming in shock, only for said skeleton to scream in fear back. Turns out said skeleton was Sir Daniel, who wanted to help out, telling Luigi about how wanted to be a truly brave knight and not a coward. Taking this new ally in stride, Luigi soon helped Daniel fend off any physical beasts trying to attack them before turning to King Boo, teaming up with Jack Skellington to vacuum him back up. Picking up on Luigi's fears ever since arriving in town after the excitement died down, Jack complimented Luigi on his heart pushing him to do the right thing, and has invited him to come back every Halloween to get used to the town and residents. Despite turning them down, he has at least appreciated them, and was able to still remain on good talking terms with Jack.
One thing that he is extremely proud and confident in himself at is card games. From simple matching games to the likes of Poker, he is fond of being the dealer for these events, to the point of even having a casino for these rounds. Many guests who visited the casino were surprised Luigi was the one being the dealer and was able to be a respectable and well-loved figure within the landscape of those looking for a few rounds of cards. Of course, such a feat would eventually reach the ears of the Ultimate Gambler, Celestia Ludenberg, who approached him for a couple of rounds. While she did end up winning as expected for someone with her title, she still left with a glowing review of the place and Luigi himself, seeing him as a respectable and friendly face to challenge from time to time, sometimes even bringing different games of luck to show him. Since then, Luigi has been learning under her wing to improve his skills and knowledge of games of chance. He does know about her past and what happened at Hope's Peak, but leaves the past to the past alongside her being placed in a stressful life-or-death situation. He knows he wouldn't be able to keep his cool like she did for so long, and even if he wouldn't kill, would feel that hopelessness she did.
- Another game he is quite fond of is Fortune Street, a board game-based event where he and three others race around the board to get shops, build them up, and buy and sell stocks to get the biggest amount of money needed to win at the bank. Considering his past with card games, many can see just why Luigi would feel cocky and confident in the game set all around money management. He met up with the Dragon Quest characters who were a part of these games to help set up times for not only more rounds but also to invite others to learn the game themselves. Even the Dragon Lord was more than open to these invitations, even if he just sees them as an excuse to show off his power and might towards others. Luigi for his end doesn't think that much of it, since not only did he do this song and dance with Bowser during times where he joined the cast to party or go-kart together, he knows the Dragon Quest heroes have his back in case he tries anything funny.
Any attempts from villainous deities to sneak into Luigi's subconscious has proven to always result in disaster. Not only would such a feat trigger Mario to go after them, but Luigi has proven to be well versed in fighting in the Dreamscape, utilizing his brain's version of himself called Dreamy Luigi to create hoards of them to come to Mario's aid to help them fight back any attackers. Freddy Kruger found this fact out the hard way by invading Luigi's dream, trying to scare him before killing him off. Seeing his bro tremble in fear after hearing about how Freddy was in the area, Mario placed an pillow of a Pi'illo underneath Luigi's head to open an portal to the Dreamscape, coming in to help Luigi. Even after Freddy grew 100 times his size, Luigi utilized his Dreamy Luigis to increase his own size as well, managing to keep pace with the dream demon, with him tossing a giant star that Mario piloted through Freddy's heart to kill him. Since then, Freddy has taken the hint, and has warned Bill that "The green plumber guy is a lot more aggressive than he lets on." Bill decided to just rip up any plans of using Luigi or Mario in his plot to spread Weirdmageddon through the Pantheon, knowing that Luigi would be too scared of him to do anything, and that Mario would be too wise to his tricks, especially since he knows Luigi hates Bill and doesn't want to see him in his dreams. Fecto Forgo meanwhile overheard Luigi's prowess in his dreams and has planned on invading them to learn more about the enemies he fought to hopefully replicate them in his own dreams.
"You just got Luigi'd!"

Online on Newgrounds, users can go there to create whatever they want. Everything by everyone. With so many different viewpoints, their ideas on how certain characters should act can clash with one another. Many characters on the website can act like saints in one animated video, than go ahead and eat a baby kitten in another. No group felt this whiplash more than Pico and his friends, Nene and Darnell. Originally, the trio were just a group of school kids, with Darnell loving fire and explosions, Nene wanting to kill herself because she caught herpes, and Pico saving his school from a school shooter. However, they ended up becoming Newgrounds royalty, and as such, many fan games and animations played with their personality and even relationship with one another. They may all just be friends in one video, they may kill each other in another submission, Pico and Nene may be interested in one another in another video, it may be Nene and Darnell, or they may just share her. Nene may be a Damsel in Distress one animation, than become someone who can kick ass with her knives in another. As such, they end up becoming the Godly Trio of Varying Characterization.
- Originally, they were in Fancy Pants temple as a part of his carnage sect, yet there was a bit of a problem. Pico and Nene both loathe the stick figure, as they remember back to a time when they were ordered to take him out for not adhering to the Family-Unfriendly Violence of the site, only for Pico's evil clone, Piconjo, to help out Fancy Pants Man, remembering back to a time when he was a stick figure. People could tell tensions were boiling whenever Pico ends up spotting Fancy Pants and stops in place. Such a boiling point finally hit after Fancy Pants Man talked to Frisk about how he really doesn't feel comfortable with the Carnage sect in his temple and how he is glad to be the representative of the trope of Web Games and not a member from there.
  - Pico quickly planned a attack on Fancy Pants Man with his friends and the yet unascended Tankmen. The Tankmen ended up joining Pico and his friends to kill Fancy Pants Man for his comment. Fancy Pants Man was able to run and get help from other nearby deities, with the outsiders seeing how much heat there is between the two, with Fancy Pants Man not enjoying the idea of being gunned down by Pico and hunted by his friends, and Pico not liking the idea of having the darker and more crude side of Newgrounds be disrespected. To satisfy both parties, everyone involved on the attack on Fancy Pants Man got kicked out, but Pico, Nene and Darnell were able to get their own temple, letting the Tankmen stay as Heralds, until John Captain and Steve got them properly ascended to the Pantheon as their own deities. While they're not completely regretful of their attack on Fancy Pants Man, the Tankmen actually feel a bit guilty about Fancy Pants Man's current tension with other Newgrounds deities, hoping that some patching-up could be done between them, to Pico's confusion, and belief that there would be no way for them to realistically make up.
The role of the face of Newgrounds was debated between Pico and the Tankmen constantly from time to time, with Pico boasting about his longevity on the site and being the ranking system for so long, while the Tankmen commented on how they were literally the ones driving the Newgrounds tank and are now the new ratings system. In the end, thanks to Pico day being mostly about Pico and how Pico was the one most people recognized as a Newgrounds figure, his title of being the face of Newgrounds was undisputable in the end. While the Tankmen want to become the face of Newgrounds, they still respect Pico and his friends. Helps that when they did take over the site, it resulted in a giant disastrously redesigned website that got swept under the rug as a bad April Fool's Day prank, so they aren't exactly rushing to try and overthrow him.
One of their biggest testimonies to their varying characteristics was their fight against a shape shifting creature known as the Convict. There are four different tales of how their first encounter went. Firstly, it goes that Pico fought against the Convict before it went after Nene, fighting her to a standstill before turning into her and Pico shooting the real Nene thinking it was the fake one. Secondly, it went that Pico and Nene teamed up and took the monster down during Pico’s path to being King Of The Portal. However, a third path reveals that while Pico and Nene did beat him, Nene did most of the work, and she and Pico fought to become the King Of The Portal, only to commit suicide once the pressure got to her head. And finally, the fourth one had The Convict fight against Pico, Nene, and a samurai called Samurai Asshole, only to win and become King Of The Portal, vanishing from the public view to pull the strings in his favor in the sidelines. Regardless of how it’s played out, this led to Pico and his friends hating shape shifters. Much to the Spy’s annoyance, he can’t seem to backstab any one of them, be it that they’re prepared and willing to fight him, or they’re fighting each other and he ends up being collateral damage.
Due to their varying characteristics, their power levels may also change. In some cases they are traditional school kids without anything unusual to them. Other cases involve them being able to be very capable fighters, or even as adults with even more powers. As such, they ended up getting a temple outside of the standard temples in the House Of Characterization. The temple is, fittingly enough, Pico's school. The rooms have been repurposed to serve as the room for each of the kids. Tankmen patrol around the school ground, looking for anyone that Pico and his friends don't want inside. Even after their ascension, they sometimes pop in just to see if they could find anyone to shoot. In the back of the school, there's a giant hole from when Pico shot Cassandra's bomb. If you go down that path, you end up in the carnage section of Fancy Pant's temple. Anyone in the carnage section and any of Pico's friends are allowed in the school, granted if they don't try to get Pico and his friends angry.
- Despite literally being in a school, and having their ages be moved up and down at random, they still attend The Elysium Academy. Given their questionable actions, they're required to not only go through a metal detector in the front of the school everyday, but also have their bags checked by security so no weaponry can be brought in. Save for Nene; since she committed suicide in school by using a Bible praying to God to smite her after she found out she got herpes in front of the class, they had to double check her bags and ensure that she isn't doing anything dangerous during school hours.^{As for who killed her...}Zeus has claimed responsibility after accidentally firing a lightning bolt in the wrong direction.
  - Despite this, Pico was given an exception due to how he was not only was involved in a school shooting, but also survived and fought back with a gun. He ended up getting schizophrenia from the event and never goes without his gun. A deal was made that Pico is allowed his gun in school as long as the ammo clip is empty. Given how impressed she was that a student helped protect the school against a school shooter, Chifuyu offered to keep Pico's ammo safe in her desk with a lock and key. If the school ever gets in trouble, she is quick to unlock the drawer, throw Pico his ammo, and grab a katana to join him in fighting off whatever threat of the week the school is facing. Helps that Pico is capable of overcoming even her most grueling training, earning her respect.
In case it wasn't obvious before, these kids are definitely rather...different, to put it likely. For starters, Pico is accustomed to school shootings and using guns, Nene regularly kills herself over herpes, and Darnell loves causing fires and explosions. And that's just the stuff that is most obvious at first glance. Toilet Humor, killing twisted beloved children's characters, and even Russian roulette have been done by them before for the sake of telling jokes. Due to just how much they take after Animated Shock Comedy, the three kids are friendly with the South Park kids. Even Cartmen ended up being impressed with how Pico basically fought off a school shooter by getting a gun and shooting her and her team of shooters back.
- To Pico and friends, their shock humor is a part of not only their identities, but Newgrounds as a whole. As such, while Fancy Pants Man focuses more on preserving flash web games, Pico is more focused on preserving the wild and crazy nature of Newgrounds letting everyone do what they want; the website's motto is "Everything by everyone" after all. As such, they serve as heralds to the website, letting everyone in the Pantheon join the place, no matter how crude, disgusting, raunchy, or weird they are or their creations are. The trio travelled the Pantheon to meet up with other Newgrounds deities or animators.
  - The first person they met was Sr Pelo, who recognized and appreciated them for being a big part of the site, and the two returned the gesture, realizing him as one of the animators for the website, even creating exclusive endings to his shows for Newgrounds. Plenty of people wonder what a Pico episode drawn by Sr Pelo would look like. Time will only tell...
  - Another group they ended up meeting was the Henry Stickmin deities. Thanks to the both of them having their own constantly bouncing characterization, they manage to always be on good terms with the Stickmin's group, be it adding their own violent touch to their missions with the Government, teaming up with Henry and Ellie in the Toppats to help steal the latest biggest treasure of the week, or even just help Henry steal another priceless jewel for himself.
  - Given how used they were to violence and other dark themes, the three of them actually make for great babysitters for Isaac, being able to keep up with whatever dark and twisted creature that can be found in Isaac's basement, as well as understanding his tragic past. Given how unfazed they are by everything going on in his life thanks to their own experiences, they make for great babysitters and guards to Isaac in case he finds himself in hotter water than what he's used to for some reason.
  - They ended up coming across the Madness Combat deities, with Hank fighting off Tricky with Jebus in the middle, mainly targeting Tricky, but not afraid to sneak a hit or two in against Hank. The three decided to join and help Hank, enjoying the volatile nature of the web series. While Hank ended up befriending and respecting them as they aided him in helping him get rid of Tricky and Jebus, the other two are both miffed at Hank's new partners being so skillful, and see them as yet another roadblock against their paths to Hank.
  - After hearing how The Chosen One has ascended to the Pantheon, Pico ended up marching his way to their temple, going through the Grid just to meet up with them face to face. Turns out, he also remembers The Chosen One from when he was invading Newgrounds, but instead of feeling disgust for them, he felt ashamed in himself for just running away instead of trying to fight the threat off. He ended up seeking him in order to challenge him in a attempt to restore his honor. Understanding his reasoning for the duel, The Chosen One accepted the fight on the condition The Second Coming can try and fight him as well, to which Pico accepted. Pico got the upper hand at first, even managing to defend against The Chosen One as he started unleashing elemental attacks. However, once The Second Coming tapped into his 11th-Hour Superpower, it was quickly over for Pico. Despite this loss, Pico feels like he at least regained some honor and the stickmen respect him for the fight, as he certainly did get a good few hits in. Since than, he sometimes treks back to them just to train or rematch with them.
  - Of course, with the trio proudly displaying their banter of creativity via chaos of letting everyone send in anything, this got them into trouble with the Grand United Alliance of Law. They see Newgrounds as a place of anarchcy that needs to be tamed and controlled, a sentiment that Pico and his friends highly disagree with, and are willing to fight tooth and nail against the alliance. The Grand United Alliance of Chaos on the other hand loves Newgrounds and sees it as the best outcome for their organization to achieve. They especially love the motto of "Everything by everyone", with some of the agents in the group even using it in their own lives. In return, not only does Pico, Nene, and Darnell respect the group, but have actually joined to help spread the news about Newgrounds.
One day Pico ended up in the house of Musicality, stepping onto the stage during a open mic night, with Nene and Darnell watching in the audience. Turns out that the two have dared him to rap in front of the entire house. It also turns out that Pico is actually a very skilled rapper, being able to sing a couple hit songs that made the house cheer. Two of the residents of the house, Skid and Pump, apparently took notice of him and recognized him as one of the rappers that went up against the blue haired rapper The Boyfriend (yes that is his actual name). Given how rapping managed to increase the popularity of not him, but also so many other Newgrounds stars, Pico can't help but feel a bit of pride in his rapping skills.
- There is also one more interesting fact that popped up during this reveal; he actually once used to date The Boyfriend. That said, while he isn't afraid of talking about his past, he does like to remind others a couple things, namely that he is not originally from The Boyfriend's adventure, as well as the fact that he wasn't the school shooter; it's just that he fought back against the school shooters with a gun. Also, he's not a sweet soft boy despite his past relationship with The Boyfriend. That said, considering how he ended up giving The Boyfriend a chance to fight back by rapping instead of just shooting him and saving him and The Girlfriend from the Tankmen, it does leave some questions open. Just don't expect him to actually answer them. Not even Nene and Darnell know.
Pico and Nene both know what it is like to deal with their school being threatened by a outside force. Darnell was absent that day, but he still is there for his friends in the end. As such, the three unanimously hate others that willingly shoot up their own school, destroy it, or whatever else to it. Junko Enoshima heard of the trio and thought the idea of getting school shooter survivors to kill each other was too good to past up. Getting Monokuma and Tsumugi to knock them out and put them in a school, she left them with only one rule; kill each other, and the only survivor will become the King of the portal, basically ruling Newgrounds. In the end, Nene ended up being the victor, heading to the school's auditorium to receive the reward, only to find the room to be dark. Junko and Tsumugi walked out into a spotlight to give a speech about how this was not only being televised, but also went on a spiel about how even the closest of friends can betray each other if the circumstances are right. Cue the lights turning back up revealing Pico and Darnell still very much alive, standing on a pile of dead Monokumas, with Pico, Nene, and Darnell pulling out their trademark weapons out on the two. Oh, Crap! faces and justified bloodshed soon occurred. While Junko, with her love for her own despair, enjoyed the irony of it all, she and Tsumugi could do without all the mocking and laughing from others at how it blew up on their faces.
- Upon seeing how this played out on TV, the three ended up getting visited by Makoto Naegi to get more information about who Junko was, namely more about how she basically destroyed her own school and brought her world to despair just for kicks. To Pico, what Junko pulled off was beyond worse than what Casandra did, even noting that at least Casandra had a motive due to her hatred for the school system and society (depending on the day). As such, he, along with Nene and Darnell, are more than happy to bring forth their standard love for violence and carnage to fight back against Junko and her Monokuma army.
  - That said, one of their more conflicting opinions they have towards this whole story was directed to Monaca Towa, the original successor of Junko, and not just because she basically left the scene to live in space. She was on board with all of Junko's ideas, but this was all because Junko targeted her and her friends, who were all on the verge of suicide mind you, and convinced them to instead join her and fight back against adults. Seeing a bit of themselves in Monaca's group of friends with their Troubling Unchildlike Behavior, they feel...a bit of everything towards Monaca; anger for what she did, relief in finding other school students that went through what they did, fear in what they could become, the list goes on. Interactions with her range from shouting matches between them, to joining her for a round of video games.
- Although they didn't really shoot up a school, the three of them still don't respect the Ghostface killers, namely Billy, Stu and Jill, calling them cowards for hiding behind a mask and killing others to subvert horror movie tropes instead of just writing or making movies about subverting these tropes. The trio didn't like being degraded like that, and ended up tracking Pico and his friends to their temple, managing to blend in with the patrolling Tankmen by saying that their mask is just a new helmet. While Billy aimed for Pico, Stu and Jill went Nene and Darnell respectively. Billy ended up calling Pico and try to do his horror movie talk with him, only for Pico to see through his intentions. When it came to try and get Pico to see his tied up friends in the school hallway, Nene and Darnell actually were the ones to tie up the two Ghostface killers that were after them, with Pico changing the subject of the conversation to Newgrounds, asking Billy about characters that came from there. While incredibly pissed at how the situation turned around on him, Billy reluctantly played along till he got a answer about who the villain of Madness Combat was wrong, with Billy incorrectly answering Tricky.^Answer This resulted with Darnell and Nene lobbing a molotav cocktail and pair of knives at the two killers to finish them off.
  Pico: "One final question for you..."
  Billy: "And just what the hell is it you brat?"
  Pico: *Hangs up on the phone, pulling out his uzis right behind Billy.* "How long did you think I was standing behind you?" *proceeds to unload his entire clip into Billy from behind.*
Even with how used they are to the more disturbing aspects of life, they don't even like the DHMIS teachers and what their teaching methods usually result in. Given the lack of logic that some of these teachers can bring to them when teaching and how it affects them in a close proximity, they usually just try to take the most indirect route possible with them, namely by just trying to axe them off with guns, throwing knives, or explosives. The teachers really don't care much for them, while one of them, Sketchbook, just think that they should be more creative with their lives.
One of their more tricky enemies they made were called the Uberkids, a trio of scientifically generated kids with the best stats out of any kid in the field. Pico, Nene and Darnell decided to put that claim to the test by challenging them to rock paper scissors roulette, which is basically Rock–Paper–Scissors mixed with Russian Roulette. Pico and his friends emerged victorious, proving that not even science can stand against luck. Since then, the trio had been enemies with the group, happy to try and kill them when given the chance. This made them enemies with the house of Genetic Engineering and made them popular in the house of Luck And Fortune.
As kids that can easily fight against anything, the Kids Next Door have kept a close eye on the trio. While they aren't afraid to team up with them when they have a common target, they also know just how violent they can be, sometimes to the detriment of their own missions. While Pico and his friends are ok with the Kids Next Door, and even try to behave themselves for them, they still feel tempted to try and just take the short path to their successes, no matter how violent said path can be.
Pico Only:
- One of Pico's most surprising interactions was with Gary Smith. In class one day, Gary ended up causing a fuss around the school by putting up Nazi flyers and breaking Chihiro's phone and technical equipment. Pico ended up catching him in the act...only to give him a speech about cultural identities and standing up for Chihiro, saying it's his right to look however he wants, be it buff, skinny, whatever. Funny enough, Pico's reputation already spread to Gary's ears, and realizing Pico isn't putting a bullet between his eyes, he used this chance to run off before anyone else could find out... only to run straight into Jimmy, with Pico telling Jimmy what happened. Gary ended up getting chased by Jimmy through the school as Pico calmly took down the flyers and offered to help Chihiro fix his electronic devices.
  - Utterly baffled by this display of pacifism, some of the other gods took a look into his history, only to find a timeline where Pico managed to talk down Casandra from her school shooting attempt, making peace with her and her team and convincing them to give Earth another chance. This didn't seem to last, as Pico ended up becoming more than willing to shoot Gary in the face if he tries to mess with him or Chihiro again. Some think this side of Pico only comes out on April Fools Day, like Sachiko being nice on her birthday. Pacifists like Frisk try to talk to him to see if he can be like this in other times, only for Pico to just ignore them, telling Frisk not to step on his identity. He does seem to let this side show towards others he genuinely cares about if there is any consolation for these pacifists. Jimmy meanwhile knows of how Pico can be, and while he feels he and his friends are good kids, he does keep a eye out to make sure they don't get too off the chain.
- Curious to see if Pico could be friendly under other teachers besides Chifuyu, the higher ups ordered him to go around and meet with the other teachers. One of the other teachers he met were Baldi, who wanted to teach him about Math with his You Can Learn pads. Pico, willing to give Baldi a shot, went along with the teacher. However, once the pads started glitching and messing up, Baldi ended up chasing Pico out of the school with his ruler. The next day however, Pico wasn’t so nice, and ended up shooting down Baldi as he was chasing a group of kids who got his problem wrong. Given how Baldi’s punishments is known to result in death, Pico wasn’t punished for this incident.
  - Another teacher that was proposed was Terence Flethcer, due to just how hardened Pico was, they thought he could at least be able to keep up with him, even letting him bring his uzis to his class to show his skill. Indeed, it started out promising, with Terence recognizing Pico's own skills and giving him some of his respect. This only turned south once Pico realized just how brutal Terence was on other students, namely musicians. He ended up seeing Terence keep calling out Scott Pilgrim, demanding him to perform his bass better and better. At first, Pico interjected by just saying he thought Scott was doing good. By the time that Pico noticed that Scott's hands were bleeding, he couldn't bare it any longer, and got in between them.
    Pico: "Hey! His hands are literally bleeding! Don't you think it's time for him to call it a break?"
    Terence: "If by break you mean a break from being so terrible, than yes, I agree wholeheartedly."
    Pico: "He was already doing great; would it really hurt your precious ego that you have to tell him good job and take 5?"
    Terence: "There are no 2 worse words in the English language than "good job". I would have thought that someone who thrives under being in stressful situations would understand. Besides, how could you possibly like someone like Scott? He's just a pathetic, pussy, cheating dick who has no respect for anyone unless he can step on them to achieve his goals. Look at my successful students, how powerful and better off they than the maggots I found them as. I just want him to be the same."
    Pico: "He's still years more likeable than you, asswipe! Perfection is overrated and boring! He already went through his own character arc and is genuinely trying to be a better person; you're just telling him shit he already knows that only feeds your disgusting ego! Sure, you should always strive to improve yourself, but not at the cost of your own health and happiness! You may have passed the test of musical talent, but you failed horribly at the test of life!" *Pulls out his two Uzi and shoots two bullets right against Terence's sleeves, barely grazing them and leaving his arms unmarked.* "Now back the fuck off him or the next round of bullets will give you so much lead that you will be able to get yourself a fancy new wig made of metal!"
  - The teacher promptly told Scott good job before dismissing class for the day. Turns out that the principal of the school was well aware of Terence's reputation, and knew that some desperate students would be willing to go to great lengths just to get better. As such, when such teachings get too far, they wanted someone to break it up, and thought Pico would be a good fit. Considering just how Pico loathed how Terrence talked about how his experience being in a school shooting was a positive thing, Pico is more than eager to knock him down a couple pegs. Scott meanwhile was stunned that someone actually stood up for him, and after thanking Pico for being so willing to aid him, started talking and hanging out with each other. Be it discussing their own lives and what they wish they could have done differently, or just hang around arcades and introduce each other to new games, the two enjoy each other's company. Pico even offered to join Sex Bom-Omb from time to time as a guest rapper.
  - In a similar vain, a couple of teachers in the school pulled some strings and ended up getting Pico enrolled in a class run by Agatha Trunchbull. Suspiciously, on that day, Trunchbull was acting uncharacteristically nice the second she laid eyes on Pico as he took his seat. She even was willing to laugh at Matilda's pranks on her. It took until the end of the day with Pico leaving and Trunchbull booking it down the hallway in the opposite direction for people to realize what happened. Word of Pico's encounter with Fletcher spread like wildfire among the more malicious teachers of the Pantheon, with John Kreese being the one to warn Trunchbull, looking very pale in the face as he talked about what he heard of Pico. Since the incident, Pico has remained a student in Chifuyu's class, with the evil teachers of the Pantheon hoping this remains the case. Although Chifuyu has offered Pico extra credit for surviving the day in said teachers' classrooms...
- One of Pico's outings involved him getting sent by the military to deal with a deranged kids show host, killing him by creating a electrical fire and disabling a bomb that was set to explode at the same time. As such, Bobble The Clown, someone who corrupts kids into being violent, decided to meet up with Pico on a episode called "Bobble Settles The Score" to avenge his fallen violent kids show host. The SCP Foundation intercepted the episode to run research on it.
  - Turns out the episode is about Bobble telling the audience how to kidnap a armed person, approaching Pico from behind, creating a smash cut to the two of them in a gun fight, ducking behind cars for cover. Bobble than tells the camera about how to draw out fire using a grenade, only for Pico to use this chance to shoot the grenade and cause it to explode, destroying Bobble's hand and make him yell in pain. Pico proceeded to shoot at the car windows to hit Bobble's head, piercing his cheek. One scene transition later, it has Bobble being tied up in Pico's school, with Pico telling the camera how to torment washed up kids show hosts, drilling into Bobble's nose, hammering nails into his eyes, and spouting off terrible one liner jokes about clowns. After the incident, the researchers noticed that several of Bobble's newest episodes he tried to run on TV were titled "[REDACTED] Pico!" and "Bobble schools the class", both aimed at Pico and expressing his hatred for him.
  - As for another kids TV show host, Pico honestly doesn't have much negative to write home about Barney. Oh sure, when Barney starts singing his songs and trying to hug Pico, he WISH it was a psycho killer and show host so he can justifiably kill him, but for the most part, as long as Barney keeps his distance from Pico, he couldn't give a care about what that dinosaur is doing. Barney has allowed Pico on his show however to help give out gun safety lessons, something that Pico is cool with even if he has to force himself to not curse.
- Drops by the house of Firearms from time to time to brush up on his aiming. During one of these trips, one of his targets ended up being shot by Revy, who commented about how Pico seems to be too young to use a gun. One clip of ammo later in Revy's lane, hitting her target enough times to create a outline of a hand giving the middle finger, and Revy's thought soon changed to seeing Pico as a rival, not letting herself be outdone by him. By the end of the night, they both were impressed by each other's handiwork, and now weekly try to one up each other.
Nene Only:
- During a outing around the house of Love and Affection, she ended up running into ZONE. Despite all her perverted tendencies, even she was stunned by just how perverted Nene can be and how many things she screwed, be it human or regardless. That said, due to how often her age changes, ZONE can at least feel some sort of connection with her. That said, she prefers to stay on the safe side, even if Nene keeps asking about her tentacles. Panty on the other hand was flat out impressed by these stories, and told Nene to hit her and Brief up whenever she gets in one of her older ages. Said stories of them having a girls night out have...varied, to say the least.
- Due to her changing age and raunchy nature, she ended up encountering Dokuro Mitsukai, who heard of her exploits and lewd adventures. She went on to criticize her for how her dirty actions could drive older men into being pedophiles, saying how she didn't need to deal with more pedophiles like Sakura. Nene cut her off by pointing out that not only does she also tease Sakura with her body to the point one of the lyrics in her theme song is "be a cocktease", but she is also quick to try and bash Sakura's head in for getting distracted by her body when she was so carefree with it. To say that Dokuro got a bit miffed by this comment would be a understatement, judging by the pool of blood and dismembered limbs that were floating in it. Dokuro woke up the next day to find her Holy Halo cut into several small pieces alongside what that entails, and from that point on, a mutual hatred was born.
- A true testament to her lewd nature, she heard of how the Pantheon has so many zombies, and after encountering Dr. Zomboss, ended up not-so-subtly implying how very excited she is at the chance to get her brains eaten. This just ended up creeping out Dr. Zomboss and his fellow zombies to the point that they not only ran off, but got her banned from the House of Flesh Eaters. Doesn't stop her from trying to yell inside that she wants to have her brain eaten out. Not even Pennywise wants to try and eat her, but given how he loves to have his food seasoned with fear, it's at least understandable why he doesn't want to eat her.
  - She also ended up joining Kiara in her sex cult religion. Given her love for both sex and suicide, Nene doesn't really care that much about the whole end goal of Kiara's plan, with the nun happy to have someone else interested in her cult. That said, Kiara does feel a bit of compassion towards Nene. Considering how her own past shaped her into who she is today, she wonders just what the hell Nene went through that turned into the raunchy and suicidal kid she is today...
- Is more than okay with killing herself. It's gotten so bad that some of the more morbid members of the Pantheon started betting on how Nene will kill herself and for what reason. Still, plenty of other gods treat each attempt seriously and try to help her out of whatever predicament she is in. Efforts have proven to been rather...slow, if they even work at all. Doesn't help that Nene can pretty much find a way to kill herself in every situation if she is desperate enough.
- Once ended up trying to make other female friends by joining the Doki Doki Literature Club...only to have to duck out 10 minutes later after joining. Sayori ended up fearing her due to remembering a time when she saw Nene's corpse being hung, reminding her of her own fate, only for Nene to tell Sayori to get over it. Yuri tried to get Nene interested in her knife collection, which resulted in Nene talking about how she stabbed herself multiple times to kill herself after waking up with herpes, startling and disturbing Yuri. Monika got angry with Nene after she gloated about the chance to actually have multiple lovers while Monika has yet to get a single date. Natsuki hates Nene due to her telling Natsuki how stupid her beloved manga series is. She is one of the few people in the Pantheon that they all can agree on being terrible.
- Due to just how many times she ends up dying, she often gets the chance to talk and meet with Kenny as they get revived in the house of Life and Vitality. The two of them often trade stories about how they died and what their most brutal deaths were. Kenny's friends started commenting about a possible relationship between the two after realizing Kenny somehow died one day after getting herpes, while Nene denied the accusations. To this day they do remain good friends, regardless of the romantic rumors they keep hearing.
  Stan: "Wait a minute...herpes? OH MY GOD! SHE KILLED KENNY!"
  Kyle: "YOU BASTARD!"
Darnell Only:
- Ever the lover of explosions, hearing the sound of explosive gunfire drew his attention towards a new house. Upon realizing the house was actually dedicated to explosions, he screamed out in joy and rushed in to see the explosions up close. While watching all the bombs fly, he ended up bumping into fellow explosives lover Junkrat. The Australian was amazed to see a kid be so into bombs and what not, and decided to bring him along with Roadhog whenever he can to show him their own brand of destructive weaponry up close for their crimes. Darnell doesn't mind, and even brings his own bombs and Molotov's whenever he can to aid them.
  - Darnell would end up aiding another fellow pyromaniac by helping The Pyro fight against Mei. Seeing the fellow fire wielder get iced by Mei and her gun, Darnell jumped into the fray by lobbing Molotov cocktails and grenades at Mei, causing her to explode into a fiery blast. To Pyro, Mei was a Ice Witch trying to freeze his world while Darnell was a knight in rainbow armor driving her away. Since the incident, Darnell and the Pyro have been close friends with one another, and are happy to share their love of fire with one another.
- One wouldn't think it, but Darnell has a zero tolerance policy against racists. This mainly stems from a time where he wanted to date Nene, with Pico being more than happy to help him, only for Nene to respond by say she doesn't date black people. Darnell responded by stuffing a lot of bombs into her locker, saying how now they both can be black together. As such, he can get behind other black people, like James Heller, for being a strong black man capable of keeping Alex Mercer down, and Esmerelda, for dealing with being persecuted by Judge Frollo for her origins. While the two are aware and concerned by his love for fire and explosives, they also do recognize he isn't that bad when in their presence. Plus, he is wiling to fight off against Judge Frollo with his pyromaniac ways, and that's always a plus for Esmerelda.
  - That said, one person of color he doesn't see eye to eye with is Amanda Waller, with the both of them seeing each other as a crazy and deranged individual. Amanda ended up forcing him to serve time for his arson crimes on her Suicide Squad or face a long time in jail. This only ended up horribly for Amanda, as with help from Henry Stickmin and Ellie Rose, who Amanda had brought to her by force by a couple other members of her squad, they ended up destroying the remote device that Amanda was using to control them with threat of exploding a microchip inside their head, and created a full scale riot. Harley Quinn and Deadshot took the chance to let out some pent up rage out on Amanda while Henry and Ellie called in Charles to tell him what happened, with Darnell heading off back to his temple, waving goodbye to a very thankful Harley Quinn and Deadshot. While she did regain control of the Suicide Squad again, she is more careful than before of choosing who she wants to work under her thumb.
- Has been known to try and win contests of any kind by faking the fact that he has cancer and only five years left to live. That said, this bit him hard in the behind when he tried to win the role of School president by saying that he has cancer and only five years left to live, only for another student, Linus, to take him seriously and called for a ambulance to send him to the house of Health and Diseases to get looked at and have surgery done. The end result of this incident was The Medic being blasted to bits, the surgery room being engulfed by fire, several walls of the house getting blown open, and a report back that confirms that Darnell never had cancer. Linus was furious at Darnell for this incident, demanding him if he thinks cancer is a joke. He only responded by setting Linus's blanket on fire and flipping him off as he walked off. He got a month's worth of detention for the incident at school and a ban at the House of Health and Diseases for destroying the place.
