A massive Dojo built to fit several types of martial arts. Here Gods come together to spar together and hone their best attacks. The Combat House is made to be very durable, since many of the Gods are known to be very powerful. It is best to not piss them off, or else you'll receive a beatdown.
Doctor Wong Fei Hong, Tenth Tiger of Canton
Greatest Warrior and Doctor of Real Life Canton from 1875 to 1924, who inherited his father Wong Kit Ying's title as the Tenth Tiger of Canton, and made the Hung Gar style of Martial Arts the way it is practiced today..
Has had more films made about him than James Bond and Dracula; 100 and counting to be exact.
Is a regular drinking buddy of Jet Li whenever he visits the mortal realms, and Jackie Chan is still trying to outdrink him to live up to his portrayal of him in Drunken Master.
Very impressed of late by one Kaname Madoka, who managed to save her world with compassion, wisdom and kindness: "She would have made a fine student of Hung Gar", mused the master.
How Badass is he exactly? Were it not for his teachings, Bruce Lee would not be able to beatChuck Norris; let that sink in for a moment.
Such is his prowess as a warrior that he earned the respect of the Japanese occupying Canton in World War 2, who attempted in persuading him to impart Wing Chung Kung fu to their soldiers. He politely refused, not wishing to betray his people. He cheerfully admits that well choreographed though the fight in his biography may be, he never actually got to fight one General Miura, head of the occupational forces.
That said, he has become very dear friends with Donnie Yen, and when he visits the mortal realms the two have been documented to have long and jolly chats with tea and cigarettes while watching the two good biographies made of him, naturally both starring Donnie.
In spite of his importance to the Chinese Warrior World, Master Ip is a sweet, kind and humble gentleman who insists that he is first and foremost a family man who was just trying to put a roof over his sons' heads and get them through school.
Some believe that his ability to defeat Chuck Norris means he may be able to challenge Fred Rodgers himself in combat. Others... believe differently. The two seem to have an unspoken understanding, however, and have been seen walking and talking together frequently, quietly exchanging bits of philosophy.
Was surprised by Sabin's desire not to emulate him, but has noted that if any human would be able to match or surpass Bruce in brute strength, it would probably be him. Why? MOTHERFUCKER SUPLEXED A TRAIN.
One of only a few gods who has grasped the true form of Giygas' ultimate attack. He also had a machine built in his honor by talk show host Conan O'Brien.
It is speciulated that He is the real power behind the cosmos, and only pretends not to run the show, since he's getting enough attention as it is. Other gods play along for fear of His mighty kick.
Claims the fight with Bruce Lee was staged, and Lee was in reality fighting a doppleganger. They never did arrange another fight, since they don't really care. They do go out drinking occasionally.
Actually quite a Nice Guy on the mortal plains. Either because he is so powerful he can afford to be nice, or more likely that hes the kind of God who believes just because you're powerful dosen't mean you have to be an ass about it.
Has never been in the House of Technology, which is highly unusual, as nearly everyone has a use for tech. On reflection, this is just as well - it means that he has never competed against The Guy.
Constantly goes into the House of War and Weapons seeking fair fights to perfect his skills. 'The fight is all', he says.
Consideration is being given to promote him to Greater God after his recent battle with Asura, having shown himself able to keep up with the Demigod in combat.
After his ascension, he decided to find Bruce Lee in order to have some fun. It didn't end to well.
Rumor says that he stole some of the moves of his master Kenshiro, but since his style is so staggering, nobody has said anything...yet.
His self bragging theme, mentioned in his ascension has become quite known in the House. Some people are trying to create their own self bragging themes and often ask to Kamina for help, since his hot-bloodness can inspire anyone to do anything.
Jack Bauer's ascension took place between 12:00 AM and 1:00 AM. Yep...the world stopped for a full hour to watch Jack Bauer rise to the Heavens, in real time.
Allies: Lina Inverse, Naoki Kashima, Bayonetta, Date Masamune
Loves to visit the mortal realm to gorge himself on pizza. Has invited many of the "babes" in the various pantheons to come along, but so far has not managed to get a positive response (Some of them - mostly C.C. - might have said yes, had Trish not strenuously objected. With her guns).
Has found a good deal of common ground with Naoki Kashima, despite their very different attitudes. The two first met in combat, with "the kid" and his allies managing to fight Dante to a draw. After all that was squared away, Dante invited him out for pizza, his treat.
Used to fight Kratos, but now they're so busy they only have time for the occasional impalement. Of course, now that God of War III 's been delayed, the battles could begin again...
Then there's also Bayonetta, though Dante seems more fond with her. Maybe because they share the similar style. Or maybe because he likes hot girls that can kick ass like her.
Followers: While he doesn't have a constant following(since it's hard for anyone to CONSTANTLY perform curb stomping), every time someone performs a curb stomp, they can feel him nodding in approval.
Just showed up in the pantheon one day walking around with his adopted niece Haruka eating gelatto. The mountain of unconscious mooks behind him quickly made the other gods take notice.
Kazuma actually is very sincere about disliking to fight, as he'd much rather live peacefully with his kids than allow them to be exposed to violence. Unfortunately, he's a magnet for trouble, and also happens to be exceptionally talented at beating the living shit out of said trouble. The irony of being a war god who strives for peace is not lost on him.
Kenshiro and Bryan Mills were both wary of Kazuma's former criminal background, but seeing how ruthlessly dedicated he is to protecting children quickly won both of them over.
The CloudCuckoolanders of the pantheon are attracted to him like moths to a flame. While this slightly irritates him, they're usually good people, so he deals with them in a friendly and polite manner.
Steve Austin, God of Asswhuppin' (Stone Cold, The Texas Rattlesnake, The Alcohol-Fueled Whoop-Ass Machine)
Was unable to win the tournament that decided the God of Wrestling. He still got to kick CM Punk's ass, though.
In recent time, there has been many fights between him and the God of Straight Edge, CM Punk.
Whenever he is present in the House of Food, there always seem to be a large ammount of beer missing along with a lot of broken glass covering the floor aswell.
Engaged in an eternal battle with Jack Sparrow to determine which is greater once and for all...Pirates or Ninjas. Followed by the chosen ones of Naruto and the Ninja Turtles.
At first, dislikes Bang Shishigami for being so highly visible, but surprisingly met an intelligent rebuke by Bang himself. Hayabusa grudgingly accepts the harsh truth that he might be not so invisible after all, but retains the position on the basis that at least he still tries to act like a proper ninja sometimes.
Part of the Pantheon Ninja Shi-Tennou alongside Bang, Schwarz Bruder and Naruto Uzumaki. Hayabusa is seen as the unofficial leader on basis of Pantheon seniority.
The relatively lackluster reception of his newest game has called into question what his god level should be. However, he retains his power thanks to the efforts in the past that is still permeated throughout the ages. At least, it gave him some new 'bond' with Samus Aran, who struggled through similar ordeal.
Hulk Hogan, God of Training, Prayers and Vitamins (The Hulkster, The Immortal One, HOAK HOGAN)
Suddenly showed up in the Pantheon under a cardboard box. Evidence within suggested that he had been there for at least three weeks without anyone noticing. This, naturally, secured his position.
The Sisters of Battle are her army. As per her preferences, during operations they split up into small teams. Massed charges and open warfare don't sit well with her.
Due to her usual outfit, tends to get hit on by Zapp Brannigan and James Bond. She doesn't pay them much mind, but if she did, they'd have to watch out for the brutal invisible ass-beating to follow. Much to Shizuru's dismay, she and her followers haven't responded to her overtures either, though as she gets to know everyone better, this may change.
So far, seems to get along well with people who have both discipline and skill in their fields (Solid Snake, for example, though his butt probably had something to do with it).
Is very comfortable within the House of Technology as well, and checks in on Lain and the Laughing Man often.
Greatly admires Ellen Ripley, who was among the first female asskickers. They hang out and beat up monsters.
Many have contest that due to recent events, Tifa should be the goddess and not Motoko. Neither have yet responded.
Some theologians argue that these three are in fact the same being. Thus this being can be a god, demon or angel as they wish. Otherwise Heaven and Hell are conspiring together.
Whenever someone spends far, far more energy to strengthen themselves than the plot requires, the Triumvirate gains. Much more, in fact, than would be lost if they lose in combat. Any so-called "hero" is subjected to the Bag of Spilling the next game, while they retain their power, if they aren't stronger.
It lies in wait, punishing rewarding adventurers who have proven themselves with It's presence. Only recently has It's incarnations in the mortal realm been weakened, and even then most cannot defeat It, especially after a liberal application of Zerg-B-Gone (Too bad Bubs charges a few million per bottle). Has a capable foe in Zaraki Kenpachi, despite always claiming victory, due to the man's sheer determination. If only a mortal could provide such strength...
Fears Mr. Rogers.
The closest any mortal has ever gotten were the brave FFXI players who fought the Pandemonium Warden for eighteen hours straight. Absolute Virtue allowed them to face It as a reward for their tenacity, and they were never heard from again.
Speaking of, It also takes some time out to slap around PW for even thinking of copying The Great Sweatered One.
Due to his extensive knowledge of Role Playing Game tropes and capability to ignore logic whenever he feels like it, Red Mage has the ability to modify his character sheet and artificially increase his own stats (mainly Strength and Wisdom) at will. His hubris is the only thing preventing him from breaking the Power Limiter that allows him to ascend to higher levels of godhood.
If you see him coming...RUN. We cannot stress this enough.
Attempted to apply for God of Unstoppable Theme Song using his 'Theme of Lu Bu'. But was interrupted by Trombe! and his Expy Elzam von Branstein took the place.
Is glad that his cross-history rival Tadakatsu made it to the Pantheon, but couldn't understand why he's a robot now.
Once made fun of Asura's theme song. Asura beat him up so bad for it that Lu Bu was actually forced to retreat in the only time he has ever been a part of the Pantheon.
Kenpachi is on a constant quest to fight every single other god to the death. Unfortunately, he lives in a world where nobody can die. Sucks to be him.
Fights Absolute Virtue nearly every other day. Despite losing every time, he continues to fight because it's just too fun.
Similarly, he tries to do the same with newcomer Augus. He still finds it just as fun despite losing against him almost as much as against Absolute Virtue.
Warning: Dangerous to make comments about her age (in a negative), her status as only a 'Lesser Goddess', or anything like 'Aww, its so cute, she thinks she can beat us'. Underestimating her is generally bad. Easily beats up Wolverine, for one.
She would like to remind her followers that the only thing she's going to preach is on how to get close to the enemies and beat the crap out of them. With grace.
Her previous priest was Lamia Loveless until her rampant similarities with Signum proved to be too strong and she helped her being deified.
Haven't appeared before her followers in months. She is believed to be currently regenerating in a hidden-away dimension after getting thoroughly trashed by a newcomer agent of the GUAE, Cypha of Huckebein.
Allies: Dan Hibiki (the only guy she's felt sorry about beating up)
Opposed By: Kan'u, Lu Bu (the original, and Housen Ryofu by extension)
Hakufu has some slight issues with gender identity, being a reincarnated man and all. She cheerfully accepted the title of Greater Goddess after her extremely violent revenge on those of the Combat Pantheon who dared to call her stupid. Since then most other gods just try to avoid her, which is not that easy since she loves to pick fights.
It is said that merely forgetting to mention her name in briefings brings terror to the Pantheons.
If anyone ever try to bully her followers, she will gladly stare at them, which is enough to make the bullies run away pissing on their pants. It even works on Kratos of all people.
Some rumors have circulated suggesting that she is somehow fond of Kenpachi Zaraki. Most of the gods also notice how she hangs around with her lieutenant all the time. These two hypotheses each have a goodly number of adherents, mostly depending on which one they believe is hotter (And some believe that both at the same would be hotter than either alone).
This rumor once got to the hands of Aya Shameimaru and got posted into the headline of Bunbunmaru Newspaper...
She also would like to apologize deeply for the fans of Steve Irwin, as a stingray, somewhat similar to the form of her zanpakutou, caused his death and she couldn't save him.
Refuses to return to the City of Heroes after an unknown, but presumably unpleasant incident.
At first, she was handled with the trust to find a cure for Arakune. Unfortunately, her house was raided by both Terumi and Relius Clover and her research stolen. Unohana took responsibility of that and decided to make both of them pay.
Caerula Sanguis, Watcher of the Human Condition (Quing-long Wei-ji, Vilma Fachiri)
Demigod
Symbol: Her twin blue swords, Earthlight and Moonlight
Takes it upon herself to watch over humankind and attempts to safeguard its future via the quantum future generator, Melchizedek. If ever she finds humanity falling into base nihilism and debauchery, she will issue the Last Order, which will destroy Melchizedek and thus leave humanity's future up to chance.
Her temple is an orphanage for abandoned children and their caretakers. Though she rarely shows it, she is quite fond of kids, though barren herself.
Thanks to her special ability to sense neural pulse flow, her centuries of combat experience, and the interaction between the two, she has not yet lost a duel, and she has had several (mostly against Kenpachi Zaraki, but he fights everyone all the time, so...). Among the most technical fighters in the Pantheons, and probably the second-best straight-on duelist behind Mr. Rogers (who she wouldn't fight anyway). While she enjoys a good fight, she usually leaves it up to others to challenge her.
Profoundly respects Mr. Rogers (on account of him being an inspiration to children) and Batman (on account of his methodical tactics and passion for justice).
Finds Naoki's disposition to be similar to her own, and so watches him closely, hoping that he will be a catalyst to lead humanity into a golden age.
His temple is named Temple of the Undefeated of The East. All followers are required to do the motto dance with Master Asia at least once: "The Temple of The Undefeated of The East! The Winds Of Kings! Zenshin! Keiretsu! Tempa Kyouran! LOOK! THE EAST IS BURNING RED!!!". Needless to say, he has only few, but WORTHY followers.
Dural was created from liquid steel, so she is incredibly hard to knock down, even for a goddess. She is capable of emulating any move set from anyone on the War Thrones, save Bruce Lee. He already has enough imitators.
Taskmaster, God of CombatTraining (Tasky, Tony Masters, 'Captain America', Barney Toastmaster, Suck MASTER, King Of Suck (he really wishes people would forget those last two or three))
Quasideity, but his mortal followers are really enthusiastic.
Alignment: True Neutral, often with Evil leanings. But he's got a soft spot for cats and usually avoids killing.
When the 501st joined the House of Defense, Cap decided to train them - they had the unity and discipline down, but he didn't like them dying. After a month or two, he realized that his schedule was ridiculously busy, and he'd like to have enough time to start sleeping or maybe make up with Tony Stark. He needed the best. He called for the Taskmaster.
Tasky's physically no faster or sronger than a good Olympic athlete, even as a god, but he has "photographic reflexes". He can watch another humanoids physical movements and duplicate them without practice, no matter how complex. Combined with photographic memory, the tech-assisted ability to duplicate voices, a hologram emitter, and a little thing stolen from the MIB that can spontaneously create simple shapes out of solid energy, he is a true master of hand-to-hand combat, and melee fighting as well.
He is also able to impersonate many of the gods with a high degree of success; he has acted in Cap's stead on a few occasions. He is supposed to be accounted for at all times, but there's not much worry when he disappears - Deadpool will bring him back sooner or later.
Though he could have stuck with thieving or being a standard supervillain, Tasky took up training Mooks. Able to show them every fighting style he's ever seen, he is very successful.
Despite being the quintessential Joke Character, Dan Hibiki is not the butt monkey of the gods, even though people drew much amusement from seeing him challenge Bruce Lee, Chuck Norris and Jackie Chan by himself and losing repeatedly. He's still convinced himself that he's the best around, and nothing's gonna ever keep him down...except Hakufu's "powerful one-two punch".
Lina Inverse, Goddess of Beast Slayers (Bandit Killer, Dragon Spooker, Enemy To All Who Live)
Domains: Magic, Destruction, Greed (definitely not Dragon)
Allies: Dante, Nanoha (Destruction aspect)
Opposed by: Dragon!Ryu
While Dante spends most of his time battling demons and the undead, Lina prefers to focus her magical rage on living creatures and relieve them of their valuables. She gains immense attack bonuses against dragons and Money Spiders.
Is currently hatching a plan to get her "precious" thing back from Marisa of the Magic House, and has consulted with Carmen Sandiego and Robin Hood to do it without killing her (she also plans on picking up some of Marisa's spell cards to add to her arsenal).
Call her the latter two nicknames at your own risk.
Enemies: he lost count sometime around the moment of his death and ascension
Was eventually betrayed by his former follower Ali Al-Saachez when he thought he's not being paid enough. Gauron was shot on the head, but he survived... JUST BECAUSE.
In addition to his work as God of Dumb Muscle, Strong Mad also moonlights as the bassist for Cool Tapes. He is quite confused by this, however, mainly because of Marzipan's ever-shifting causes-of-the-week.
He can also kick, but considers that more of a hobby.
Should Kamina or Guy become derailed in their efforts to re-start the universe, he will probably attempt to get things going with a PAWWWWWWWNCH.
Is frequently sought out by members of the Love house as an...alternate method of contraception.
Recently fans of Jecht have called for him to take Captain Falcon's title and began calling him "Captain Jecht" in preparation his victory should he challenge Falcon. Currently the two are searching for a plane of reality stable enough to contain the force of their clash without endangering others.
Ascended to the pantheon through a stange combination of luck, stable time loops, and punching other gods in the face really hard. Most others who have attempted this have either wound up dead, looking very silly, or became their own father. The only other one to have achieved the latter is Bowser in a rare moment of heroism.
His title tends to make a few members of the pantheon a bit nervous for some reason.
Disappointed with the fact that Maximillian was only a follower of Palpatine. She sought a chance to raise him to his former glory.
The fact that she was a servant of Maximillian earned her the ire of Lelouch, and to a smaller extent Isara. However, Jeremiah Gottwald saw something interesting in her misguided loyalty...
Representing a notion related to Red Mage and Thrawn but distinct from both, Alpharius is the consummately professional cheap bastard. To him and his followers, combat is itself only a brief phase of combat-by the time the guns start shooting, the battle is already won. Alpharius will, as a matter of course, use every dirty trick in the book (which he wrote), no matter how underhanded, and cares nothing for being called out on it. If you even realize he's the one responsible.
Essentially, he represents the Combat Pragmatist taken to a strategic level, tipping the odds in his favor by any and every means necessary and expending little to no actual effort during the shooting phase of his operations.
Alignment: Chaotic Neutral with some Evil tendencies
Domains: Pillaging, Plundering, Pirating
Allies: Nobody! He likes a challenge!
Enemies: Everyone! But especially Zaraki Kenpachi and Light Yagami. Kenpachi, because of how alike they are giving him a decent challenge, and Light because he cannot stomach a coward who kills with 'sorcery' rather then with his own two hands.
Followers: Every Viking ever, and everyone who ever wanted to be a Viking
What do you get when you cross a Pirate with a Blood Knight? A Viking! And there could be no better representative for this boisterous bunch then Thorkell the Tall! All his battle loving, loot loving, rape loving, historical nautical bandit brothers of days gone by finally have a man in the pantheon, and he plans to have some fun! All comers are welcome to challenge him in any competition they choose!
Domains: Courage, Death (or lack thereof), Evil, Strength
He has been reduced to only a head numerous times, yet with his newfound godhood, he manages to regenerate in time for another of the pantheon to strike him down again. It's just a flesh wound, after all.
At his lowest form alone, he can destroy most vehicles and buildings. At his highest form, no army can defeat him.
When out of his Alter form, he has severe damage to his back, arm and face. His hair is discolored, thus giving his previously realistic hair a more typical version for Anime heroes
So determinated that the threat of death of his loved one will not stop him from saving her. He could take Axel's title of 'Determined', but somehow he chose not to.
One of the more tranquil beings in the house, Ashley is somewhat looked down upon by more violent gods. Ashley does not often use his new found powers, let alone to their fullest extent. However, the fact that Ashley's skill borders on Instant Expert with weapons and magic is a sufficient deterrent to most who object to his position. There is also a persistent rumor that prior to his ascension, Ashley defeated a god in battle with no tricks or outside help. And it's established fact that he cut a bloody swarth through a legion of legendary monsters before the hypothetical fight. While being Mind Screwed. The general consensus among the Pantheon is to not bother the guy who was called The Reinforcements. It can't be worth it.
Pyramid Head will chase after just about anyone, and when he gets started, almost nothing can stop him. He even chased after Lu Bu, despite Yuan Shao's protests. They fought to a standstill (as near as one with Pyramid Head can even be called such, anyway).
Domains: Vampirism, Destruction of Everything and Anything
Reimu Hakurei and Marisa Kirisame are her friends and opponents at the same time.
Other enemies: Kyubey, Terumi Yuuki (then again, which vampire doesn't have a beef against him?)
Remilia Scarlet has not yet been deified, but she can't count as a mere follower either, being Flandre's older sister and pretty much the only one with influence on her. Though that influence seems to falter nowadays - Flandre has tasted freedom and will not be locked in an attic any longer.
It would be tempting to classify Flandre as The Mother of All Tyke Bombs, but since she was not specifically raised to fight (in fact Remilia keeps her in the basement solely in order to avoid her destroying things by accident) she averts the trope. She is however the very incarnation of Badass Adorable.
Being only a child, her actual influence within the Pantheon is weak, but since she's able to destroy everything and anything (world apparently included), no god will ever piss her off. EVER.
Since neither Remilia nor Sakuya have been deified, there's no one in the Pantheon to force Flandre to stay in her room permanently, leaving the girl free to roam around. Almost all non-Greater gods live in fear of hearing her tiny voice ask them, "Hello! Would you like to play with me?" Anyone who "played" with Flandre Scarlet and lived to tell the tale earns the respect of every god in the Pantheon, especially those of War. Most notable are, of course, Marisa and Reimu.
There is currently a movement among lesser Gods called the "Movement for the Deification of Sakuya Izayoi" to thwart Dio Brando from his position as god of Manipulation of the flow of Time and deify his disciple Sakuya instead. The real reason for this is to have someone in the Pantheon who knows Flandre well and is capable to restrain her, possibly even manage to confine her to her room. The members of this movement are often mockingly referred to as "Flandrophobics" by War gods.
The movement was a success, but Dio, along with Dracula, was one step ahead and coaxed Sakuya to join the GUAE using the yet-to-be-deified Remilia as a hostage, thus making her still restrained to them, not the Scarlet Devil Mansion residents. This makes Flandre hate those two so much.
However, just recently, both lesser and greater Gods found out that Gig had found her during a walk to the garden in order to inspect his hotpods and challenged her to a fight just out of boredom, the mayority of the War gods (except Kamina, Guy Shishioh, Kratos and other Hot Blooded mecha pilots)quickly changed their minds.
Oh, and the fight still goes on. The left wing of the House of War was blown in smithereens.
Sakuya has recently been Deified as the Goddess of Throwing Knives in an attempt to reign Flandre in. Unfortunately, Sakuya's current lack of power renders her unable to stop the enormous battle at the moment...
However, considering that Flandre is having fun "playing" with Gig, it is unlikely that Sakuya could stop her unless she becomes a greater goddess than Flandre or can exert more influence.
No-one seems to have noticed that Flandre does hang out with Scarlet Devil Mansion gate guard Hong Meiling. This may be the point, Meiling being goddess of Butt Monkeys.. Hong Meiling does not seem scared of Flandre. Might she be the Chinese Girl with the leash, and no-one has noticed? Yukari Yakumo seems to know something about this, but she's not telling.
Flandre once tried to take on newcomer Augus to test his skills against her. To her surprise, instead of her bloodlust scaring him off, he only was more enthusiastic about it, almost to the point of making her feel uncomfortable. In spite of all her efforts, the fight between her and Augus didn't even last 10 minutes before she was curb stomped. Badly. She swears to fight him again to try and prove her loss was a fluke, so sparring with Gig more might help her.
Upon ascension, Dad, after going on a rampage throughout the House of Commerce, immediately invited everyone to a barbecue. It was an awesome barbecue, in the Michael Bay sense of the phrase.
Upon ascension, the other deities suddenly found their supplies of Twinkies suspiciously low. When asked about them, all Tallahasee would reply was "You got a purdy mouth."
His true name, as well as the name of his prophet Columbus, has been lost to the ages.
???? (Like he does with his hero status, he does not call himself a god. No one's really going to force the issue though.) Widely suspected of being a Greater God.
Enemies: The Joker (Not because The Joker did anything to him yet...But mainly because he more or less stands opposite of all of X's ideals...). Omega and Weil are also high on his hate list.
The Greater Gods have put up a decree regarding him.
No one is to allow him to get Ten feet of any version of the Maverick Virus that is not inside a reploid Host. NO ONE wants to deal with Zero in his "Awakened" state.
There is a prophecy regarding him, Dante, Link, Kratos, and Mega Man fighting each other at once. A few more names may be involved, but everyone is too afraid to read any more. All that's really known is this: it will be bloody awesome, and the House of Commerce is going to make a killing.
In one continuity, he actually meet fellow deities Dante, Wolverine, Taskmaster and Chun-Li (plus several others such as Amaterasu and Haggar) in a fateful battle between two dimensions. A battle so great it shakes the Pantheon's very ground.
Has a mortal follower trying to take his mantle, named Girouette. The guy has many of Zero's portfolios, including his penchant of sacrificing himself. Unfortunately, unlike Zero, he doesn't get better (he just turns into a Cyber-Elf). Being a Sacrificial Lamb, Giro now also serves as Mami Tomoe's some-time helper. Fortunately there's still Vent/Aile who took up the mantle shortly thereafter.
His relationship with his father has been complicated. At first, Wily was irritated that his son didn't help out with his evil schemes. Over time, though, he's let that go and is genuinely proud of him. Though it's rare, you can sometimes see them having a father-son picnic. Wily has decided not to bother with his other "son", Omega, who's too Ax Crazy to socialize. This of course makes Wily a hypocrite when one realizes that Omega is EXACTLY what he INTENDED Zero to be.
Allies: Ryoma Nagare, Axel Almer (they fought alongside each other once), Bruce Lee (he sometimes mentors him in martial arts), Umi Ryuuzaki.
Is often mistaken asKazuyaMishima, which caused some people to look at him funny. However, Ryuuzaki always showed a good, optimistic front.
His mortal lover is named Erika. He built a statue of her and always took his time to polish it and admire her. Break it at your own risk.
Some has speculated that he is the long lost big brother of Magic Pantheon's Umi Ryuuzaki. Kazuya denies that, but he does accept her being called his 'little sister figure', and vice versa.
Ever since his fight against Kratos (wish lead to Herc's face being caved in with his own Nemean Cestus), he has been carefull to anger his brother again.
His latest achievement is to give a God of Thunder a divine nurple. This gave him a bit of a nasty rumor about him doing it to Fate Testarossa, but Herc has denied it vehemently. "I don't do that to girls!"
Keeps his madness state in check. He may become even more powerful, but he dreads being rained with the jobber aura that comes with it.
Big Brother picked her for this position when he diversified into Reality TV. She is not happy about this, especially since her position entails her followers being forced to kill each other for entertainment. She is trying to ally with rebellious factions in order to bring him down.
Allies: Ayase Yue, Negi Springfield, Jack Rakan, Hinata Hyuuga, Evangeline AK McDowell
She's not exactly the sort of girl you would expect to find in the Pantheon of War, her nose in a book and her eyes hidden by her hair. However she can hold her own, she knows whatever you will try next, and she has good friends to make use of that information. She's normally very non-confrontational, but heaven help you if you get on her bad side.
Her trifecta of items, the diary, the ring, the earpiece, are known for how easily she can muster a strategy for even the best trained fighters. Many fear what would happen if she found more items to further increase this rather effective skillset of hers.
In the immortal words of Shadow Crystal Mage, "In the Magical World, they measured magical strength by Springfield (either one), the measured strength of arms by Jack Rakan, they measured evil by Dark Evangel...they measured nobility by Queen Arika...But they measured courage by Miyazaki Nodoka."
Enemies: The Lagoon Company, the FARC, anyone that might harm her Young Master
Ascended after she took out the whole army of Golden Triangle warlords with nothing but a musket and flintlocks, and then proceeded to take out all the USA soldiers that were responsible for her master's death. Also, she once snapped a throwing blade with her teeth.
Allies: Zangief, Hakumen, Jade Curtiss, Kanji Tatsumi
They're very slow, but their combined powers are one of the most powerful things that could change the shape of the Pantheon forever.
They have a combination attack called "GIGANTIC POTEMKIN TAGER BUSTER", in which they combine their might to slam the enemy from the deep end of the Pantheon. Many followers started thinking if Potemkin also has a GIGANTIC TAGER!!
At first, Faust is utterly reviled by pretty much everyone due to his atrocities, but then he saw the light and ended up ascended. Still, he wears a paper bag since he's too ashamed at his old self.
His House looks... wacko. With doors that appear out of nowhere, atomic bombs that can be triggered any time, and Afro bombs, or bags that could unleash meteors. Enter Faust's house at your own peril. Even more so when you need medication.
Managed to enter the Midnight Channel once through some reality-warping mumbo-jumbo by summoning a door outta nowhere to it. He befriended Teddie that way, and teaches him some little tricks.
After spending some time in the Fallen, Sub-Zero has saw through some redemption thanks to an upcoming event. He has amassed enough followers to bring him to the proper place.
Despite being good hearted, he couldn't help to get gory at times. Just be careful, he may splat another part of his enemy's body that is NOT being popsicled.
An avatar of Sub-Zero with the same name was seen due to a part of plan of Thor's ally Raiden to destroy Shao Kahn once and for all. Sub-Zero lent his power to this avatar, enabling him to be strictly more powerful, but then said avatar got turned into a cyborg... and Sub-Zero's power allowed him to make him regain his sanity and proceeded to kick all kinds of ass ranging from his brother Bi-Han/Noob Saibot, to Sektor, to Ermac, to Goro and Kintaro at the same time. Unfortunately, said avatar was destroyed by Sindel and now resided under the control of Quan Chi. This event has decreased Sub-Zero's power for awhile, but if you pray enough, both him and Ed Boon may reconsider to get that avatar safely back again
Gained the title and earned a place in this house by becoming a mother via self-performed C-section while storming the beaches of Normandy, disqualifying all other women from complaining about the pain of childbirth when she's around, ever
Is absolutely delighted that, for the first time, she gets to be in close contact with her son Ocelot on a regular basis without being undercover and attacking something she loves the whole time. Ocelot is utterly horrified by how much she embarrasses him in public in front of his friendsunwitting pawns, but he doesn't dare complain or maybe toss her out for the good of The Plans because he knows she would whoop his ass if he tried. That, and she knows she can break his revolvers which he really hates, so that's another reason.
Manages to get along well enough with other Robot Pilots, but his lack of Hot Bloodedness does irk them a bit and at worst they occasionally pick up his laziness. Kamina however gets along with him great due to Coop being something of a forefather to him.
The pilots also have trouble wrapping their heads around the power of Coop's Button, which has the power of resolving any situation and changes labels according to said situations.
When he's especially angry, other Gods just back away till he hacks away whatever is making him rage. It's not just microphone of Gods that he'll break.
Supposedly amnesiac, but after ascension he got better.
Felt like he's Not so Different than his opposition Mitsunari, due to the amount of seesawing between angsting and Badassery. Even so, D-Boy himself disapproves Mitsunari's 'unhealthy' worship so they didn't become friends.
Opposed by: Most of the residents of House of Personal Appearance, Zangief, Wolverine.
Not a rather welcome addition in the House of Personal Appearance, as Vega boasts he's more beautiful than most of the looking Gods/Goddesses and pretty much insults those known for their not-so-beauty. He finds more home here.
About one way to get yourself mutilated on the face with multiple claw strikes is to strike touch that mask of his.
She's currently being scouted to stand-in for Signum after her momentary fall, until she's ready to reclaim the throne or declare relinquishing of her throne.
Should Signum decide to step down, Utena might be upgraded to an intermediate goddess. (Pending mutual approval, naturally.) The vanishing ofone of her... powers seemed to be a hindrance to this.
Once known as Judas, he has since shed his Paper-Thin Disguise and registered with his usual name. He left his former home in the care of Cecil.
Being a God hasn't helped with his constitution any, but he's usually quick enough to beat down his enemies before they even get a chance to touch him.
Possibly one of the hardest duo to beat in the Pantheon, as they are just ridiculously cheap on one on one, but EVEN MORESO when they combine their strength.
The one chink of their teamwork is that they hang out with different person. Both are pure SOB, but Geese has his standards and is even repulsed with some Gods. Rugal has no such restrictions.
Nobody taunts him for having only two special moves. Because that's all he needed.
A strong figure in the army of Pantheon, Guile is a stoic and respectable God, although sometimes too hotheaded about Revenge.
Was one of the few people to corner M. Bison to near death for vengeance, but stopped by his family. Guile sometimes admits that if he hadn't met the God for this stuff (Mikagami) he might got off the handle.
Was rather annoyed at the fact that Rugal Bernstein had a prized statue of Guile in the Blacknoah. Upon one meeting, Guile destroyed it... it's been said that Rugal has been wanting to replace it ever since.
This, however, will be met with utter pride and joy when referred to Asura (at least Japanese-wise). Guile considers him one of the greatest family men to exist.
Still believes that somewhere in the Pantheon, his old friend Charlie Nash is alive.
Followers: The Cenation (consists mostly of women and children).
Enemies: Edge (more of a friendly rival), CM Punk (same), Smarks (His greatest foe so far).
Accended into Godhood when he managed to survive after being blasted by Goku's Kamehameha and retaliate with The Five Moves Of Doom. The Cenation cheered with the greatest of joy, but many of his critics swelled with sutch burning hatred that many of them combusted in flames.
Has been rumored to be one of the few surivors of Krypton. This rumor has not been confirmed yet.
Was not present at the 8-man Elimination Hell in a Cell match that decided the new God of Wrestling. Considering the strong and divided emotions he causes with simply his precense, this was probably for the best.
Is a powerfull warrior who fights for the three virtues: Hustle, Loyalty and Respect. This has made him a nearly perfect member of the GUAG.
Cena has a habit of spending his free time in the House of Music, teaching the other memebrs of the Pantheon the basics of Thuganomics, despite not practising it often.
Is now preparing to fight fellow GUAG member Dway-- I mean, The Rock at Wrestlemania on April 01, 2012. The entire Pantheon is following the lead-up to their epic clash, with members turning on allies and betting and fighting on the possible outcome.
During his younger years, Cena was a street-wise brawler known as the "Doctor of Thuganomics", who was known for being very brutal and brash compared to the current-day Cena. Nowadays, Cena has meditated and become calm and level-headed, but will not hesitate to demonstrate his old "Ruthless Aggression" when pushed.
Followers: The city-state of Demacia, his homeland.
Enemies: The city-state of Noxus
Is known for his absurd sense of honor. It causes him a lot of problems when dealing with more pragmatic Gods.
Anytime he screams "DEMACIA!", other Gods tend to retreat. Only the likes of Chuck Norris can stop him when he's spinning his way through the hallways.
Ascended after everything he has went through was shown to the other members of the Pantheon, where almost everyone nearly Shat themselves at his raw power.
Has a major father Instinct, and really wants his daughter Mithra to ascend to the pantheon to be able to be with her. Is also pissed off at abusive parents, and has at one point almost destroyed the House of Family with the aid of Devil Jin, intent on destroying Relius Clover after witnessing the latter attempting to "experiment" on his son Carl.
Is often compared to Akuma. The two had a fight so massive that it took 500 years to conclude. Who won the fight is still up in the air.
Recently took Sweeney Todds place as the God of Vengeance and Rage. To this day, no one dares to speak about it, as it was not pretty. Even most of the other violent deities in the house hid in terror after it happened.
Despite similarities between the two, Asura despises Kratos with a passion for his carelessness towards humanity in how he kills them with no remorse even if they are innocent villagers. It brings to mind of other Demi-Gods that he had fought before ascending to this pantheon.
Since Asura has had less than ideal encounters with gods in his life, he rarely visits the pantheon, or even his own temple. Although he does go to the Combat Pantheon every now and again to keep his skill sharp, and he has another temple there he uses to rest up.
On multiple occasions Asura has been seen with another fighter, Yasha, when visiting the Combat Pantheon. Although he hasn't acended (at least not yet) and he looks more calm then the raging Asura, the gods tend to give him space, since he seems to be the only one on par with Asura. This thought has given Melkor much to worry about.
Asura gives his blessing to any who have been betrayed and seek revenge. But this blessing comes with a warning, he tells those who follow him that they should always be careful managing their rage, least it consumes them. This doesn't mean, however, that he accepts followers, due to his stance against gods.
It is common knowledge in the pantheons that Asura, in the rare instance that he visits, should be given a very wide berth, since an angry Asura is very bad news.
Making Asura mad has been voted "The most idiotic thing any can ever do" by the House of Mentalism, Asura has shown no objection, since he knew that means having more time to himself and his daughter. Even Hazama refuses to troll him, after a mere attempt caused Asura to use Hazama as target practice for his Rapid Fire Fisticuffs for three whole days. Hazama was forced to apologize to prevent a bigger beatdown, and the two have agreed to never speak of it again.
There is also an incident regarding Lu Bu mocking him for his theme. The end result: Asura delivering the biggest No-Holds-Barred Beatdown the Pantheon has ever seen. Thus the universal agreement that pissing off Asura is a really bad idea.
One of the few beings to take Mister Rogers head on. They became good friends afterwards.
Several Evil Deities that think they can defeat him while he's armless have sent entire armies worth of mooks. These Deities in particular taunt him that they'll take mithra away from him again. Armed with only a shard of his master's sword, he eventually got so pissed off that this happened resulting in a giant arm that wiped out Hundreds of millions of minions like rice paper. Even armless, it shows Asura shouldn't be fucked with.
Has learned to suppress his Berserker/Wrath form by meditating with Cosmos. That being said, he has a MUCH easier time in accessing his Mantra form, terrifying almost everybody in the Pantheon.
Upon learning of the ascension of Gohma Vlitra, Asura has decided to form a task force in order to end it once and for all. Aside from Yasha (who helped him slay the beast), Travis Touchdown, Ryu Hayabusa, Kratos (albeit reluctant), Goku and Augus (just to be able to fight Asura after all is done) have joined him.
His Absolutely Gigantic Destructor Form has made many of the mecha piloting gods interested in fighting said form. Asura has yet to respond to any of the challenges, but notes it as being interesting.
His reputation as the most Badass member of the Pantheon was cemented with his battle and victory against The Golden Spider (aka Chakravatin, the Creator).
Asura, dispite his overwhelming power, has no real political power in the pantheon, like Flandre Scarlet. Unlike Flandre however, this is mostly out of choice. We use the word mostly because whenever he is asked for a solution to any given problem, he always answers: "Punch it." Now granted this solution worked for most of his problems but the pantheons' problems are a little more complicated.
One considered by many as Ryu's Evil Counterpart. But as Akuma said, he doesn't quite like being labelled as good or evil. He does as he likes.
His fighting skill are very lethal, and he saw some that he could consider a Worthy Opponent. Other than Ryu, he finds Asura interesting to fight. Asura himself finds him interesting from that one incident he uppercuts a meteor to pieces.
There were rumors that he could be even more powerful if he lost control of the Satsui no Hadou, which would turn him to 'evil incarnate' Oni. Terumi has been trying to awaken that side of Akuma, thinking that he'll be more funner that way. That just made Akuma even more disgusted at Terumi, aside of his Trolling tendencies.
There seems to be a mortal named Genjuro Kazanari who seemed to channel a lot from him. Akuma wouldn't call him his follower, but this mortal piqued his interest...
The recent fight between both him and Asura has really made many of the head deities consider to move Akuma up to Greater god Level in strength. Most of the War and Combat pantheon members were definitely interested in their fight, at least.
Literally made his entrance to the Pantheon by giving Jiraiya a flying kick on the face. He has since apologized.
Surprisingly gets along very well with Bang. Maybe since at least Bang was much more open in 'rivalry' than Kakashi ever did to Guy
Is actually honored to ever share the same name with Guy Shishioh. Might is greatly impressed with Shishioh's courage AND youthful spirit, and Shishioh also respects Might's experience and dedication to the force of Good.
It is often that inhabitants of the Pantheon misstakes him for Bruce Lee from long distances. This has sadly made sure that he has gotten himself targeted by attacks from the GUAE's ranged troops many times. Not that it's a problem, because he always finds a way to get close quick and give them a flying kick on the face in lightning speed.
Allies: Zaraki Kenpachi, Master Asia, Asura, all the other Combat deities that can give him a good fight or have similar enthusiasm when it comes to fighting, Jack Rakan.
Ascended upon his defeat from his former pupil, he decided to join the combat house after hearing that there were fighters there. Him and Kenpachi got off to a good start. In spite of Kenpachi being defeated every time, Augus says he always has fun with the strong deities of the combat house, and usually spend his time there exclusively.
He understands the fact that his blade is in Maximum Security, as they wanted to make sure no one could figure out the secrets behind the blades extending capabilities. He says that he never really uses it unless he's serious, though, and has only ever unsheathed the blade twice in his whole lifetime.
He's so strong that he can make Goku and even Bruce Lee sweat in a fight of pure martial arts with no ki attacks used. Their strength earns Augus his respect.
Being Asura's former mentor has it's effect on the many evil deities in the pantheon, as they tend to try to avoid him whenever possible, due to the fact that he basically taught Asura everything he knows.
Due to just how big his blade can really get, he was offered the possibility of taking over Cloud and Jack Rakan as the God of Swordsmanship, but he declined, stating that while they use blades regularly, he only uses the actual blade when he finds an opponent worthy for it. When he does bring it onto the battlefield, he never unsheathes it unless in those circumstances, the the sheath alone is enough to kill massive mooks with just a swipe. He does find jack Rakan to be a rather interesting character, and thinks he might actually be worthy of his own blade.
Accepted a challenge to a fight from Flandre Scarlet. He was able to defeat the poor vampire effortlessly without using his blade, though he found her nature of having immense thrills for fight to be rather complementary of his own, which earned her his respect, and that he's ready for a rematch anytime she wants to. Most of the pantheon fears the day it happens.
Many other deities swear they can hear the New World Symphony Fourth Movement by Dvorak playing when ever he gets in a fighting mood with a worthy opponent.
Augus refuses to fight for either the GUAG or GUAE, as their missions run contrary to his belief of fighting for the fight's sake.
It is once said that the swordsman Gilgamesh has wanted the Wailing Dark as part of his collection. Augus responded by unleashing the sword and impaling him through his head. Augus would later clarify that he did not think of Gilgamesh as worthy of his blade, but thought of him as an "annoying little wannabe."
When ever he isn't fighting in the combat pantheon, Augus can be found drinking as much of the best wine as he can in the Food pantheon, or untill they run out of wine, which is usally what happens.
After he succeeded his dead mentors, King has amassed much power while continuing to stay positive despite his world going down the drain in terms of morality. This triggered his ascension.
Once thought he's an even bigger Badass than Mike Haggar, besting him in wrestling ring. King humbly said that it was an utterly tough match and they became friends afterwards. Including Zangief, whom he met and wrestled with for a bit.
Although he's on easy terms with Jin Kazama, he remains wary of him, still remembering his crazy gambit of becoming a dictator.
Is a very forgiving person, as long as you're not that evil, he will forgive you for your mistakes. Being raised by a Religious Bruiser (the previous King) helps out. This is why he hangs around with Zuko a lot and is being considered to be one of the monitors of the GUAG Token Evil Teammates to inspire forgiveness.
Being caught in his grab is one of the most dangerous thing that can happen to his enemies. He just doesn't let go until after a long session of slamming and throwing the enemy.
Whether in the mortal realm or in the Pantheon, King enjoys participating in a wrestling match every now and then. Alongside Bret Hart, King also tutors the younger deities in the art of wrestling, in his spare time.
Dovahkiin, Deity of Dragonslaying (The Dragonborn)
Enemies: Nearly any dragon out there, Seto Kaiba, Godzilla (He thought it was a dragon), The Ebon Dragon.
While Dovahkiin's appearance (along with alignment and personality) is often different, his/her more freqently seen look is a male Nord with brown hair and a short beard, wearing an Iron Helmet, Studded Armor, Iron Gauntlets, and Iron Boots.
Once went to the House of Music and got challanged to do a rap. So he did. This is what he sang.
Many gods have learned not to make any "arrow to the knee"-jokes in his presence, unless they want to have both of their knees impaled and be blown through a wall. They tend to be one of his biggest Berserk Buttons.
Though there are many members of the pantheon who has a history of killing dragons, not many of them actually knows their language (that can be used for powerfull spells) or even knows how to kill them permanently, since some dragons can return from the dead. That is where Dovahkiin comes in. Because of the fact that any dragon that dies in his precense will have their soul drained by him, thus adding to his power, has made him feared amongst nearly any dragon. Even a few dragon gods fears him.
He made himself an enemy of Seto Kaiba ever since the day he destroyed his Blue Eyes White Dragon-shaped jet by casting "Fus Roh Da" on it.
He's not sure what to think of Bowser since he can't understand if he is a dragon or an overweight Argonian who happens to be able to breath fire. Nobody has seemed to tell him the answer for some reason.
Longtime friend of Goku, who was overjoyed to see him ascended.
Once again, most of the Pantheon forgets that he is the strongest human in his own universe, holding off against many powerful opponents as a mortal. Some gods, mostly the Butt Monkey ones, were impressed.
