    The Scourge 
The Scourge, The Unholy Army of Fearless Undead (Undead Scourge, Scourge Army)
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/scourge_8.jpg
The Scourge Army
  • Greater Deities by sheer numbers.
  • Symbol: The Crest of the Scourge
  • Theme Music: Undead Theme (Warcraft III)
  • Alignment: Chaotic Evil
  • Portfolio: Dem Bones, Evil Is Deathly Cold, Hive Mind, The Necrocracy, The Plague, Religion of Evil, The Undead, Zombie Apocalypse
  • Domains: Undeath, Corruption, Infestation, Evil, Fear, Decay
  • Leaders: Arthas Menethil (The Lich King), Bolvar Fordragon (The other former Lich King)
  • Notable Members: Kel'thuzad, Anub'arak, Sindragosa, Stitches
  • Allies: Zhaitan, Undying, The Night's King, Zarok, Oryx
  • Enemies: All ascended deities from Azeroth (with special mention to Sylvanas Windrunner and Sargeras), The House of Demons, Every single Zombie Apocalypse Survivor, Every deity from Westeros, Artix Von Krieger, Sir Daniel Fortesque, Goliath, Gunvolt, Meridia
  • The fearless and chaotic Scourge was created by the Burning Legion in order to take control over Azeroth but eventually they broke free from their demonic masters. Perhaps considered one of the biggest threats in the world of azeroth, the ascension of the Scourge army was a catastrophic event in the pantheon were many pantheon residents were assaulted by the relentless undead, the GUAG had to use their best men to handle the bigger threats and the pantheon was thrown into a world of chaos for the ensuing days. It was all planned by Arthas, who now having his armies in the pantheon made him a lot more menacing and dangerous than before and though that he could finally take over the pantheon, until Bolvar stepped in and assumed control of half of the undead forces, who later started fighting each other until they were finally relocated to a temple. Arthas didn't expect that Bolvar would still have the Lich King influence and caused a huge unforeseen problem for him.
  • The temple they resides is a recreation of Northrend, complete with an Icecrown Citadel like castle in the middle. Because of the presence of two different Lich Kings, there has been some inner civil war between the undead, who are torn between following Arthas or Bolvar. The pantheon denizens are relieved that for now, the Scourge won't cause another problem as big as their initial ascension and a few theorize that Bolvar is causing the infighting to protect the rest of the pantheon from the wrath of the Scourge.
  • The Scourge has a wide array of creatures at their disposal. Ranging from reanimated corpses, Ghouls, Liches and Spirits to bigger and more dangerous creatures like reanimated Nerubians, Darkfallen, Abominations, Obsidian Destroyers and Frost Wyrms. The Scourge's influence even extended way before the whole faction was given a stronghold, as certain key figures like Kel'thuzad, Anub'arak and Sindragosa were all raised by Arthas.
  • Many of the resident of the House of Undead and Phasmata have mixed opinions on the Scourge. On one side, some welcome them with open arms, willing to join their ranks and bolster their strength. Others, mostly the good-aligned ones, want nothing to do with them and their everpresence in said house has become a recurring problem, since they tend to overrun the House. The one that took the most issue witht them was Sylvanas Windrunner, since she no longer is under the Lich King influence, she and the rest of the Forsaken have made an effort to vanquish all traces of scourge they find.
  • Sargeras was less than thrilled to see Kil'jaeden's puppet army ascend. The Scourge and the Burning Legion have been notoriously in conflict ever since Ner'zhul decided to betray the Deceiver after Archimonde suffered a defeat at Mount Hyjal and the undead's hatred for the Burning Legion also extends to demons, be it evil or even the good-aligned demons, the Scourge will spare none.
  • It was logical that deities that hail from a Zombie Apocalypse setting would be at odds with the Scourge, not to mention that a great part of them serve Arthas. The fact that their ranks extend far beyond the normal humanoid undead have made some hesitant to tackle the Scourge head on and would only engage them if they would attack them otherwise. One notable deity who came into conflict with the Scourge that wasn't tied to the aforementioned deities was Gunvolt, having been tasked to retrieve something from their temple that would prove valuable to several of his allies and having had his own experience fighting undead, he was up to the task but the mission was not a pleasant one to him. Since then he has remained a priority target for Arthas and the Scourge.
  • Seems like outside of the constant civil war between the side that obeys Arthas and the side that listens to Bolvar, a select few have seen a more unofficial leader in the form of Oryx. The Taken King, besides feeling a similar role as the Lich King (royal title aside) has also shown interest in the power of the Scourge's relentless forces and even considered trying to "take" a few of the more elite forces. Given his ties to Kel'thuzad, Oryx prefers to side with Arthas' Scourge and doing so alarmed the Guardians, who in a way act as liches for their faction and the Scourge have been interested in raising a few of them to their side, with the Scourge's alliance with the Taken King being the cherry on top for their emnity.
  • Several have noted similarities between the Scourge and the White Walkers, so it was only natural that the Night's King would also take interest in this undead army. And similarly to Oryx before, his connection with Arthas made him easier to side with him as the true Lich King and cast Bolvar out as a faker. Several deities from Westeros were horrified to learn that the Scourge not only allied themselves with the White Walkers, but they could be even more dangerous given that their ranks have creatures they have never encountered before.
  • It was only natural that an uncontrollable army of the dead would be the number one enemy of the deities that despise the undead, chief among them being Artix von Krieger who smites the undead without hesitation but even him was overwhelmed by the Scourge's sheer might and had to fall back and plan a counter-attack with his fellow comrades in the GUAG Sacred Knights in order to stand a chance. He even considered siding with Bolvar in order to bring down Arthas knowing that at the least, A Lighter Shade of Black would be preferable than Arthas taking full control again.
    • Things took an unexpected turn once Meridia entered the picture. As a Daedric Prince, she is an almighty force no different from the likes of Sargeras that enslaved the Scourge before. But her sheer hatred for the undead was enough for her to step up and try to destroy the Scourge herself. Although she made quick work of most the units, she lacked any means to put down the Lich King and the fact that she didn't care about Bolvar either (who held control of the other half of the Scourge) made it harder to erradicate the undead. While the Dawnbreaker almost did the trick and similar to the Ashbringer, managed to destroy Frostmourne momentarily, she had to retreat since that only made the Scourge even more relentless. She hasn't backed down on trying to end them but has stopped engaging them in combat by herself in order to find a more permanent solution.
  • One notable undead deity that has tried to defy the Scourge is Sir Daniel Fortesque, motivated by the fact that Zarok, his Arch-Enemy, has made a truce with the Scourge in order to gain more power and conquer the Pantheon. For how silly he looks, he proved to be quite effective at slaying several armies, even managing to take down a few Frost Wyrms by himself. In fact, Sir Dan was intrumental in Artix's Anti-Scourge team after they tried to invade the House of Heroism and since then the Scourge have tried to sway him to their side numerous times, only to fail every single time given Dan's heroic spirit.

Lesser Gods

    Inaho Kaizuka 
Inaho Kaizuka, The God with Nerves of Steel (Nao-kun, Orange, Eggs, Inaho Jensen, Solid Inaho, Scrambled Eggs, Inahole
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/inaho_4500.jpg
  • Lesser God
  • Symbol: His Orange Slepnir
  • Alignment: True Neutral, Neutral Good in 2nd Season.
  • Portfolio: The Stoic, Awesome by Analysis, Guile Hero, The inability to emote, Surviving after being shot in the eye
  • Domains: Mecha, Emotions (lack of)
  • Heralds: The Mustang Platoon, especially his older sister Yuki Kaizuka.
  • Allies: Heero Yuy, Rei Ayanami, Aila Jyrkiäinen, Setsuna F. Seirei, Ken Kaneki
  • Enemies: Ren Hakuryuu
  • He ascended after encountering Mako Mankanshoku and managing to not bat an eyelash at her signature rants.
  • The other alliances have more reason to fear the color orange, as Inaho now joins Naruto, Aang, and Goku in the ranks of ultimate orange-clad asskickers. He probably terrifies people more, as he is not the World's Strongest Man, and yet is highly adept at discovering weaknesses and exploiting them with calm ruthlessness.
  • Despite Urobuchi's involvement in his series the Urobutcher has claimed that Inaho is not his subordinate.
  • He has been targeted by the Trollkaigers in an attempt to break him in an attempt to get him to react and are currently staging a kidnapping with the help of Vaas. Fortunately for him, he has managed to push them back everytime with some help with the same apathetic look across his features.
    • The Trollkaigers were so frustrated they demanded that he gives a fuck. He replies by whispering no.
  • He has been compared Jermiah Gottwald, thanks to their orange motifs near death and cybernetic implants. Other than that they couldn't be more different as he is downright emotionless and the latter is very bombastic.
    • He has also been compared to Solid/Old Snake and Adam Jensen as well only because of the implants.
  • He thought he had heard his sister after he ascended but it turned out to be Erza instead.
  • He finds it strange how Harry Potter sounds very similar to Slaine and he's tried to analyze it with his cybernetic eye to little success.
  • Has an odd friendship with Kai Kitamura, another badass mecha pilot who specializes in using mook-level units to humble superior opponents.

    Kirin Toudou 
Kirin Toudou, Goddess of Overcoming Fears (Lightning Blade Speed, Gusting Wind, Bladed Thunder, Seidokan's rank #1)
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/kirin_toudou_anime.png
  • Lesser Goddess
  • Symbol: Kirin's Senbakiri
  • Alignment: Neutral Good
  • Portfolio: Not Afraid of You Anymore, Lightning Bruiser, Shrinking Violet, Fights Like a Normal, Proper Tights with a Skirt, Nice Girl, Curtains Match the Windows, Badass Normal, It Is Dehumanising, Fangirl
  • Domains: Courage, Combat, Power
  • Allies: Ayato Amagiri, Julis Riessfeld, Ikki Kurogane, Orie Paladia, Genji Shimada, Sakura, Usalia, Itsuki Inubozaki, Morgiana, Richard, Simba, Kurumi Ebisuzawa, Satoko Houjou, Yoshino
  • Enemies: Ghetsis, Jack Horner, Gaea, Tartarus
  • Like all Genestella, Kirin has enhanced physical ability that give her an edge in a fight, yet despite this, Kirin chooses to fight with a regular katana rather than a Lux. Despite this, Kirin's not to be underestimated by those who're also skilled in a fight as Kirin didn't get the name Lightning Blade Speed or become Seidokan's strongest fighter for being sluggish in a fight.
  • When she was a little girl, Kirin and her father were attacked by a mugger and Kirin's father was forced to kill the man. Normally, he would've gotten lesser charges for killing in self-defense, but since Kirin's dad was a Genestella, he recieved a much longer imprisonment sesntence.
    • Prior to meeting Ayato, Kirin was forced to become a student at Seidokan and forced to become a tool used by her uncle so she could get her father out of prison and in return, Kirin's uncle wold use her so he could join Seidokan's Administrative Board. Not long after meeting Ayato, she gained the courage to stand up to her uncle so she could free her father from prison with her own power.
  • Due to her fighting with a normal weapons amongst people with Laser Blade's and Elemental Powers, Kirin became fast friends with Ikki Kurogane who's forced to rely on physical prowess because of his low magical talent.
  • Not long after making her past about her uncle using her known, it wasn't long before Kirin struck up a frienship with Richard and Simba who also had less-than-amoral uncles. However, unlike Richard and Simba's uncles, Kouichirou needed to use Kirin to further his own goals.
  • According to many deities who've seen Kirin's fights, they've described her fighting as a marvel to behold as Kirin's Combo-centric swordsmanship combined with her agility and speed make her a marvel to see in action. Kirin quickly became good friends with fellow combo specialist Orie Paladia.
  • One time when Kirin went to the house of personal appearance, Kirin was approached by Morgiana who had heard that Kirin was used like a tool for a long time before being freed by their friends, and it wasn't long before they hit off a friendship.
  • Not long after ascending, Kirin noticed that there were a few other cute goddess who are experienced with combat and also sound like Kirin such as Kurumi Ebisuzawa, Itsuki Inubozaki and Sakura.
  • Regardless of what her family name might tell you, Kirin is not related to Tohka Toudou.
  • While Kirin is a very kind and Adorkable girl, one way to easily anger her is to make it known that you'll use your own family for selfish gains. Bonus points if you enjoy using your family. The last poor sod who did this had Kirin's Senbakiri at his throat faster than he could say I Have No Son!.
  • On one occasion when Kirin took a trip to the house of combat, and after Kirin had a sparring match with one Genji Shimada because she was interested in clashing swords with someone for the sake of some training.
    • One rousing swordfight later, and Genji told Kirin that he had heard that she was forced to be used as a tool by her uncle so he could climb the corporate ladder so Genji divulged to her that his clan's elders had ordered his brother to have him killed because Genji didn't want to be boss of a Yakuza clan. After Genji told Kirin about his past, they became good friends thanks to their shared swordfighting skills and strained familial relations.
  • It's not uncommon to see Kirin getting along well with Satoko Houjou and Usalia as they both had to develop courage so they could confront their uncle and tormentor respectively.
  • Kirin also became friends with Yoshino, who faced the same problems until becoming a better person through her friends. They are surprisingly comfortable with one another and enjoy noticing the similarities between Shido and Ayato. Kirin also encouraged Yoshino to be more proactive in fights, even though Yoshino still prefers to remain in a support role.
  • Let out Tears of Joy after hearing that Ayato had finally ascended. She quickly ran to him and hugged him... then she grabbed his head and rubbed it against her chest, all the while promising to stay by his side forever, much to Ayato's embarassment and the amusement of many gods nearby.

    Sanada Yukimura 
Sanada Yukimura, God of Final Battle To Death (Sanada Nobushige, Sanada Genjirou Yukimura, Japan's No. 1 Soldier, The Tiger of Kai's Young Cub, The Red Tiger, Spear of Divine Rule, Scorpio)

Demigods

    James Henry Trotter 
James Henry Trotter, the God who's Not Afraid Anymore
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/james_76.png
  • Demigod (Lesser God during his trip in the peach)
  • Symbol: A Giant Peach
  • Theme Music: Good News by Randy Newman
  • Alightment: Neutral Good
  • Portfolios: Heartwarming Orphan, Being a Gender-Flipped Cinderella, Losing his parents to a rhino, and sent to live with his evil aunts, Overcoming his fears, Calling the Evil Aunts Out, Happily Adopted by the bugs, Art Shift from Live-Action to Stop-Motion
  • Domains: Orphans, Dreams, Bugs, Courage, Family
  • Allies: His Bug Friends, Jack Skellington, Madeline, Cinderella, Satoko Houjou, Carrie White, N, Aqua, Gardevoir (Friendship) and Gallade, Candy White.
  • Enemies: Lady Tremaine, Ghetsis
  • James lost his parents to a rhinoceros when he was very little (or a storm in the shape of one, depending on the story), and was forced to live with his evil aunts, Spiker and Sponge. How wicked did James described them? Let's just say Lady Tremaine is a saintnote  compared to how cruel they were towards him.
    • At age seven, James accidently revived an old peach tree with some crocodile tongues he got from a mysterious man, which produced a single peach that grew into the size of a house. Some bugs were also affected by the magic of the tongues, and they recruited James to help him escape. The peach was cut free, and the group would soon fly to New York City using seagulls to carry the peach west.
    • What caused James to ascend into the pantheon is that he initially feared his wicked aunts and the rhino that (supposedly) killed his parents. He finally overcame his fears of them out of his newfound friendship towards his bug friends, whom he considers family, and defeated the rhino by telling it "I'm Not Afraid of You". But when he tried the same towards his aunts, they turned Ax-Crazy and outright tried to kill him, though his bug friends saved him. Aqua is proud of James for showing such bravery.
  • Because of their own similar backgrounds, James has shown his kindness towards N, Cinderella, Satoko, Candy, and Carrie, and tells them You Are Not Alone. The six are considering on banding together to fight against abusive guardians.
  • For this reason, James has complete hatred towards Lady Tremaine and Ghetsis for being such horrible step-parents.
  • James didn't know what to say about Jack Skellington when they met in the pantheon, considering Jack (and several undead pirates) once tried to kill Mr. Centipede because he stole a compass. Turns out that Jack was only there to recruit the pirates for that year's Halloween festivities, and while he was napping, the compass was stolen. Jack through that Mr. Centipede was hostile, explaining why they attacked the group, and if they had just asked, they would be glad to give it to them. The two are on good terms now, since the misunderstanding has been cleared.
  • James has also bonded with Madeline over their bravery through hardships, and their status as Heartwarming Orphans (though Madeline might not be an orphan). It helps that their settings are in the 1930s (or 1950s), and have family-like ties with other beings.
  • James cannot stand the evil deities of the Insects section of the House of Beasts, claiming that they give other bugs, including his adoptive family, a bad name.

    Oberyn Martell 
Oberyn Nymeros Martell, God of Doomed Moral Victors (The Red Viper of Dorne, Prince of Dorne, The Man Who Fucked Half of Westeros - by Tyrion)

  • Worthy Opponent: Grunbeld Ahlqvist
  • Annoyed by: Homophobes in general
  • Avoided by: Cain Marko/the Juggernaut
  • Undecided on: Lord Varys (depends on the identity of Young Griff)
  • The younger brother of Dorne's ruling prince Doran, Oberyn Martell is described as fierce and dangerous by many, half-mad and bloodthirsty by some and passionate by everyone. A Byronic Hero by most measures, the learned and lustful Oberyn was changed forever by Robert's Rebellion, where his nephew and niece died on Tywin's orders and one of the perpetrators, the Mountain, would rape and kill his sister Elia. When Tyrion Lannister was accused of killing King Joffrey Baratheon, he tried to prove his innocence in a Trial By Combat. Gregor Clegane would be Cersei's champion, and the Red Viper saw his chance for revenge so he stood for Tyrion. Oberyn was close to outright winning with his use of poison and nimble physique, dooming the Mountain to a slow death. However he needed the behemoth to publicly confess and expose Tywin's evil. This gave the Mountain just enough time to crush his head like a watermelon, though the Mountain's fate would make that enviable. Oberyn died, but he got what he came for more or less.
  • Oberyn Martell had met a gruesome end at the hands of Gregor Clegane during Tyrion's trial by combat. But in some cases, one's end is but a beginning in disguise. He comes to inside Daenerys' temple, where he is greeted by the aforementioned sister-in-law, who has notified him of his ascension to the Pantheon. Oberyn also apologized to Dany's herald, Tyrion Lannister, for failing to win in his trial by combat. The Imp was a good sport over it, seeing as how he managed to get Tywin in the end. Oberyn listened in satisfaction as to how Tyrion proved with a crossbow that in the end, Tywin Lannister really can't shit gold. A lot more Westerosi than he expected were waiting for him
    • He was not pleased to see Eddard Stark in the Pantheon, but as Dany pointed out, no Stark had murdered her family, of which Oberyn had grudgingly conceded that point to her. That and he was horrified over the deaths of Elia and her children. Even though he dislikes Ned Stark, even he was appalled over the Red Wedding, which resulted in the deaths of his son, wife, daughter-in-law and unborn grandchild. He admits some of this dislike is due to his close ties to Robert Baratheon, who while he would've spared Elia he still planned to off Rhaegar's children and Tywin did the dirty work.
    • Is outright pissed upon finding out that not only Tywin Lannister is in the Pantheon, but also the man who killed both Elia and himself, Gregor Clegane. Oberyn wants payback at a later date. The Mountain despises the Red Viper more than anyone else due to inflicting a gruesome end. His brother Sandor could only reply with "nice" to what the Red Viper did, though they're not what you'd call friends. Cersei has held Oberyn in contempt for the actions of his family trying to make her and her children pay, pointing to the Sand Snakes poisoning her daughter...plus the whole revenge against Tywin thing. Oberyn objects to this, stating his daughter wasn't harmed by the Martells in the original continuity and doing something "for Oberyn" doesn't mean he endorses that revenge. He doesn't seek revenge on innocent second parties or children.
      • The House of Death and Postmortem has posited a theory due to Tywin's funeral; because of how fast his body rotted and how badly it stank, they think Oberyn might've poisoned him and Tywin was a dead man walking when Tyrion came for him. The Prince of Dorne debunked this by saying he wish he thought about it. That said, he laughed at his funeral because it exposes the man beneath the veneer.
    • Oberyn once mistook Arthas Menethil for his late brother-in-law, Rhaegar Targaryen, due to the both of them looking the same. He's not fond of the former due to his rap sheet, and similarities to the notorious Night King that he assumed was just a northern mythological figure. And as for the latter, he has problems with. When Rhaegar ascended Oberyn punched him, yelled at his scorning of Elia and other dumb decisions, only to pick him up by saying they are still family and Rhaegar is welcome to redeem himself in his eyes.
    • Despite his issues with his brother-in-law he holds no hard feelings towards Jon Snow for being his child with Lyanna, and thinks he's a respectable man who shouldn't be held accountable for his biological father's actions. Don't expect him to visit him or his father's temple though; he's not that fond of the cold. Jon Snow thinks the Red Viper is sneaky but his heart is in the right place. Both where shocked to learn there's a universe where they're marriednote , and he admits that his father Ned is going to either laugh or be embarrassed by that timeline. The Red Viper finds the fact Ned of all people kept Jon's parentage secret rather ironic, noting that the AU "sounds like old Rickard used a monkey's paw for his southron ambitions".
    • Oberyn is also a blood relation of the Targaryens as he is descended from Daeron II's full sister Danerys Targaryen. Daeron the Good is held in fair esteem by Oberyn for living up to his name and finding peace with Dorne, and the historical king is proud to call the Red Viper a descendant of the dragon. His father Aegon the Unworthy is deeply annoyed by this as he and his preferred bastard don't like Dorne, and unlike Daeron's bloodline he can't deny the modern Martells are his descendants. Oberyn merely regards the Unworthy as a fool that earned his name, mocking him by saying the only good thing being Daeron's father would be is letting him be the heir to fix his own messes.
    • By most measures he despises Aerys II Targaryen, his sister's father-in-law. However while not liking Dorne the Mad King has promised that he will help Dorne if it means Oberyn will protect and avenge their shared family. This rare demonstration of Pragmatic Villainy from the man doesn't dissuade Oberyn's desire to eventually see Aerys supplanted by his son. However as this cry of vengeance is the only hold on sanity the Mad King has left, the prince of Dorne won't waste it on in-fighting.
    • Varys has a cordial relationship with Oberyn despite his suspicions, as for the time being his interests coincide with Oberyn's. Is Varys being genuine or just using him? Well, it depends on the true identity of Young Griff. Varys claims he's Rhaegar's son and thus Oberyn's nephew who he saved with a baby swap. However, he may be passing off Young Griff as Aegon VI for his own scheme, with common rumors being the kid's a Blackfyre descendant. The chance Varys is protecting his nephew is why Oberyn tolerates him, but he has a cruel poison in store for the eunuch should he prove a liar and thus disrespecting the Prince of Dorne's family.
  • Racially he is a "Salty" Dornish. The Dornish are known for their spicy food that most Westerosi aren't used to. Oberyn brought some dishes at a chili cook-off which Homer had come to judge; he said it was good and spicy, though he's had spicier and thinks most Westerosi just aren't used to stuff found in, say, Texas. Culturally Dorne is similar to Spain with some Welsh and Qurac traits. The Prince of Dorne hopes to learn more about Spanish culture, which has led to him taking boxing lessons under Don Flamenco. Besides their more obvious similarities, being a Dashing Hispanic is a trait of Inigo Montoya that ingratiated Oberyn to him.
  • An important distinction between Dornish culture and the rest of Westeros is their belief Gender Is No Object, and open acceptance of the LGBT group. That said, they still have a negative reputation for other reasons like being uncouth and though bastards are accepted, having them marry in high places is seen as unusual. Their use of guerilla tactics throughout history has contributed to some of the Fantastic Racism, and Oberyn's flirtatiousness has not given some gods a good impression of Dorne. Johnny Cage warned him if he eyes up his ex-wife and daughter anymore he's going to show why he has his trope, though the Red Viper believes Cage is jealous at him for another reason. Batman doesn't trust his hanging out with Poison Ivy and is a tad annoyed by his flirtatious banter with Catwoman. And Chris Redfield and Jago are annoyed by him eyeing their sisters and Chris' partner.
  • Inigo Montoya as both an ally and a worthy opponent. His daughter Tyene thinks that the Spanish master swordfighter is hot. Her sisters both know that this isn't going to end well. Polneraff also had a lot of similarities with Oberyn and Inigo. All three succeeded in their vengeance, though only Oberyn would die for it, and the three enjoy dueling with one another. Also of note; while Oberyn is on good terms with King Leonidas, he is somewhat uneasy around his wife, Queen Gorgo. Probably because of her uncanny resemblance to Cersei Lannister. Leonidas does chastise him on his performance against Gregor Clegane as while his skills with the spear are indeed formidable, that he let his desire to avenge Elia and her children, override his pragmatism, which led to his mortal demise. Kratos believes the fellow Spartan was wise to say so, as he has told Oberyn his revenge took him to some really horrible places. The Prince of Dorne is intimidated by him and his past crimes, but he's glad to see he's The Atoner.
  • The nickname of the Red Viper wasn't just the result of his skill at poisoning. He's slender, athletic, can be sneaky if need be and even his fighting style is snake-like. Oberyn was interested in the various serpents in the Trope Pantheon, particularly the likes of Miia due to being both snake and person. It was almost cliche that the Red Viper chose Serviper as his partner, hoping to train with the Pokemon in combat and poisons. Since Poison types can't be poisoned unless Salazzle's Corrosion is in effect, the other viper won't fear any potential accidents.
  • After spending time with Seviper he was amused to learn there was a literal sand snake in the world of Pokémon, that being the Silicobra line. Oberyn intends to catch eight; one for each of the (metaphorical) Sand Snakes. He has also chosen to study the different serpents within the Hall of Reptiles. Naturally he abhors Apophis, and on the flip side is impressed by the majestic deity Quetzacoatl. He considered inviting his "Lucoa" form for a threesome with his paramour, until he learned her interest in Shouta. He is also interested in learning more about the Lilith there.
  • Asides from snakes, Oberyn Martell has an interested in horses, with his steed being a stallion "black as sin". His sand steed wonders if it could compete with Black Beauty. Oberyn was impressed to learn of one equine, Donkey, somehow mating and fathering children with a dragon, and can only imagine Rhaegar either being shocked or laughing at the whole thing. Donkey would prefer not to get graphic with it, but he's otherwise cordial. He thinks the Red Viper would get along well better with Puss in Boots, a Dashing Hispanic fearless feline hero. The two enjoy fencing, and sharing stories. The Prince of Dorne was quite interested to learn Puss had literally faced Death (and we're not being metaphorical), and Oberyn wonders what he would ever say to the lupine form the Stranger.
  • He is known as "the man who fucked half of Westeros," by Tyrion. An infamous womanizer, it's said that he can talk a septa out of her robes (thus, the rumor going around that Septa Lemore is the mother of Tyene Sand). However, his attempts to woo several of the female deities has raised the ire of some of their male counterparts. Johnny Cage is one, due to Oberyn's...interest in Sonya and Cassie. The same can be said in regards to Chris Redfield and Jago in regards to their respective sisters, and in Chris' partner. And there's Geralt of Rivia. His two ladies are off-limits...although Oberyn is impressed with the fact that Triss and Yennefer are both with The Witcher. There are others, but even Oberyn has his limits.
  • Both Oberyn and his high priestess/paramour are very popular in the House of Lust's many brothels. Whenever the Red Viper shows up, it's going to be a good day. It's also how he met Kratos and Aphrodite. The two men ended up bonding over the loss of their respective families...and the fact that Zeus is a tool. Oberyn Martell may bed woman and man alike but he is a firm believer in consent and isn't a selfish lover. On the more light-hearted side of things, he had a lot of fun in the Succubus District learning snake girls were a thing. He has enjoyed learning of the larger variety of prostitutes the Interspecies Reviewers, and outside of sex he likes to talk to them about the adventures they've had.
  • He is friends with benefits to a few deities. Impressively these include literal deities like Calistria and Kyu Sugardust, who appreciate Oberyn's passion. Outside of that, Calistria has a fondness for Oberyn's desire for vengeance because she is also a goddess of Revenge, and the Prince of Dorne is all too happy to share tips for his friends with the fairy. Another fwb is Jack Harkness, an immortal with a lot of fascinating tales for the learned prince. Naturally, the first thing he asked is if he could use time travel to save his sister. Sadly, Jack was told by the Doctor that some things were fixed and could not be changed. However he comforted the Red Viper by saying he knows what it's like to lose people you love in painful ways.
  • While they get along, Jack wasn't impressed that he went to bed with someone else's paramour. Then fought a duel with the cuckolded lord and won via poison...which is where he gets "the Red Viper" nickname from. Still, say what you want about Oberyn, he's taken responsibility of all the bastard children he knows for a fact he has. One particular incident involved his eldest daughter, Obara Sand. When Oberyn came to retrieve her from her mother, an Oldtown prostitute, the Red Viper pulls a Ogami Itto and gives Obara two choices: Her mother's tears or the spear. Obara chose the latter. Mom drank herself to death shortly thereafter. He is a close ally of the Heroic Protectors of Family as the desire to protect his living family members and avenge those killed makes him virtuous in their eyes.
  • Though he claims that he dislikes the Red Viper for his dirty tactics and lack of honor, the truth is that Zeus dislikes Oberyn Martell because he is jealous of how his bastard children love and are devoted to him. Meanwhile, Zeus' progeny are more mixed in their opinion. And don't even get him started on Kratos. Oberyn Martell thinks this is rich; his kids love him because he's a good father, while Zeus is often absentee or a total dick; he should really see the resentment coming. He also doesn't like how he thinks being a god means that no means yes or doesn't admonish his wife's torment of his bastards.
  • Also spends time at the Hall of Toxicity as his area of expertise is poison. It's also one of the reasons why he has a glasshouse inside his temple, as he is busy creating and improving on various poisons. It's also through his love of poisons, that he is friends with Poison Ivy. Had it not been for the fact that Ivy was a walking bioweapon, Oberyn would have given her the Dornish what-for. As he uses poisoned weapons he is seen as a dirty fighter/dishonorable by some, though Akame doesn't judge him. He's currently researching the origins of Murasame along with allying with Night Raid in order to root out governments that'd allow the Mountain to thrive. Oberyn tried to study beforehand with Chiron, but past experiences with poison have him being mistrustful and concerned over the Prince of Dorne. He knows he's a good person, but still he has lingering trauma.
  • It's very rare but Magellan will sometimes allow Oberyn to study poisons out of a degree of respect. They have very little in common and the Prince of Dorne doesn't agree with his politics, but he's definitely impressed by the use of the Doku Doku no Mi. Studying in his Hall is why the Red Viper is on friendly terms with Salazzle and Toxie. The former was intriguing for the already mentioned Corrosion ability and Oberyn gives her treats as payment for helping him study her poisons. As for the latter, he may be ugly as sin but he's almost the exact opposite on the inside and despises people like the Mountain who carelessly kill children. His ability to Detect Evil has made Toxie a useful ally.
  • Unfortunately for Oberyn, the Hall of Toxicity is full of vile threats above his weight class. The Lich disregards the Red Viper as a threat, and the Prince of Dorne isn't proud to admit he's terrified of him. He's scared of SCP-106, but that fear of the Old Man is balanced out by sheer hatred of the monster as he is every bit as sadistic and predatory in nature as the Mountain. Closer to his weight class, there's Caesar Clown and Derek Powers. Oberyn won't deny he's intrigued by the former's powers over toxic gas, but he's more focused on hating him for among other crimes, tormenting children with experimental drugs that've ruined their life. The latter holds a flippancy to his crimes akin to Tywin and is an awful father, quite unlike Oberyn.
  • Oberyn holds no respect towards rapists due in part to the very personal crimes of the Mountain. When having to fight prolific predators he'll only save the most painful kind of poisons. The Slavers and the Roarks are naturally put off by him, with the latter planning to make the senior senator confess to his crimes in a way not even Basin City is capable of protecting. However he has only reserved manticore venom to Wyald, who is essentially the Mountain if he had demonic powers. A sneak attack led to Wyald being pricked, which he allowed laughing that no human weapon could hurt him...then he felt the poison. His Apostle physiology allowed him to survive, however it also meant he experienced the heights of the pain it causes. Wyald was left screaming in unbearable agony for weeks on end, and as of yet is too terrified to exact vengeance on the Red Viper.
  • Seeing this, Cain Marko wisely decided to never piss Oberyn Martell off. Knowing his build, he'd suffer in a similar manner to the Apostle. Glenn Quagmire decided not to piss Oberyn off, but took a more pragmatic approach. The Red Viper considered poisoning him for his sex crimes, but he explained that he actually admired Oberyn's love for his sister and desire to avenge her, as he personally killed his sister's horribly abusive boyfriend. The Prince of Dorne thinks he's scum but since Quagmire has promised to aid him in taking out his enemies he'll tolerate the guy for now. It helps that those Oberyn truly hates manage to disgust even Quagmire.
  • Oberyn went in thinking he wouldn't like Grunbeld due to where his loyalties go; he is the enforcer to Griffith, a man who's every bit as charismatic and beautiful as Rhaegar...but as every bit as ruthlessly Machiavellian as Tywin while infamous for his rape of Casca. He's not as brutal as Wyald who boasts that he would've done WORSE to Elia than the Mountain, but that is because he's not stupid...and in terms of a global impact, he's worse. Grunbeld understands this...because he suffered similar tragedy to the Red Viper; he watched his mother tortured and raped. He hates rapists. While Oberyn could point out the hypocrisy given his boss, he does recognize a Noble Demon when present and considers him more of a Worthy Opponent. A mutual disgust of the Mountain certainly helps defuse any contempt the two would have to one another.
  • He's also not a fan of homophobes and other who discriminate based on sexuality, though not on the level of vitriol he saves for rapists. He pities how Nico di Angelo was forced out of the closet. And while Oberyn is a very sexual person, he's fine with asexuals and is interested in Todd's dating app for other asexual friends of his. What he's not fine with is Dokuro and Cheems constantly trying to bonk him for the "crime" of being overly horny. The Red Viper has made a rebuttal
    Oberyn Martel: "Think Cheems, think! If you put all the horny people in horny jail what do you think'll happen?!"
    Cheems: "Solimtary confimement."
  • Guts and Casca are just straight up allies of the Red Viper, as asides from admiring his free, passionate spirit, fatherly instincts and battle skill, he is completely understanding of their desire to get back at their abusers and overcome their trauma. His use of a poisoned spear has proven really useful in weakening up durable Apostles for the kill. Oberyn's skill with the spear and Dornish history led him to wonder if Aloy was somehow Nymeria herself reincarnated. A warrior woman with hair like fire and can wield a spear; surely it wasn't a coincidence, he thought. Admittedly it could be, but she admires her and seeks to join her in archery practice.
  • Also has a seat in the Hall of Heroic Achievements and Losses.

    Raleigh Becket and Mako Mori 
Raleigh Becket and Mako Mori, God and Goddess of Warrior Humanity and Neural Bridges

  • Demigods (Greater Gods when using their mecha)
  • Symbol: Gipsy Danger
  • Theme Music: "Pacific Rim Main Theme"
  • Alignment: Neutral Good
  • Portfolio:
  • Domains: Mecha, Mental Links, Awesome, Determination, Warrior Humanity.
  • Allies: Mako Reizei, Optimus Prime, Master Chief, Martin Walker, Setsuna F. Seiei, Shinji Ikari, Rei Ayanami, Asuka Langley Soryu/Shikinami, Team Dai-Gurren
  • Ascended upon defeating the Kaiju menacing Earth, and a little Headbutt of Love at their both living through their hellish war experiences.
  • They pilot Gipsy Danger, a Humongous Mecha so humongous that piloting it alone would cause massive neural damage.
  • Despite not passing the Bechdel test, Mako is much loved by feminist gods/goddesses, for her strength and portrayal as a character. She, being a bit of a perfectionist, doesn't think that that's enough.
  • While Raleigh often prefers to be left alone, whenever there's ass-kicking to be done for the side of good, you'd better bet that he's going to be with Mako in their Jaeger Gipsy Danger doing it.
  • Share a Psychic Link called a Neural Bridge. Can do it very well for people who aren't related, although they do suffer hardships with both of the pilots' horrific pasts.
    • Raleigh lost his brother, while mentally connected to him. Mako is the sole survivor of a version of Tokyo. They've both now decided not to let this get in the way of their future.
  • What sets them apart is not their martial arts skill or anything like that. It's their drift-compatibility.
  • After hearing what YHVH planned to do to Madoka, both of them have joined the Pantheonic Rebellion, because "Humanity always needs hope".
  • Raleigh is heavily compared to Ragna the Bloodedge and Kyon, mainly due to the fact that they share the same Japanese voice. Likewise, Mako also is heavily compared to Ranma, Yui Ikari, Rei Ayanami and Lina Inverse due to having the same Japanese voice.
  • Both Mako and Raleigh feel a strong sense of kinship toward the young Evangelion pilots due to the similar circumstances of having to fight to protect their worlds from giant alien monsters, as well as sympathy for the various traumas the children have endured. Although they recognize Shinji, Asuka, and Rei as capable warriors in their own right, they are nonetheless very protective of the children and have pledged to help them whenever they can.
    • After hearing about Shinji and Asuka's synchronized takedown of the Seventh Angel, Raleigh and Mako tried to talk the children into attempting a Neural Bridge to see if they were drift-compatible, believing it might be helpful to them both in combat and for their emotional well-being. However, upon being told that the Neural Bridge involves a literal linking of minds and sharing of thoughts and memories, Shinji and Asuka both vehemently declined the offer, saying they "just weren't ready to let someone else in like that." The childrens' guardian, Misato Katsuragi, was heard muttering something about a "hedgehog's dilemma", but did not elaborate.

  • Domains: Samurai, Slaughter, War, Samurai Swords
  • Allies: The Fortress Dwarves, Alucard, Seras Victoria, Joseph Joestar
  • Enemies: The Wendigos, the Left 4 Dead Zombies, Stitches, Millenium
  • Rivals: Samurai Jack
  • Ascended by managing to take over Orte, defending it from an Ends siege, and nearly defeating an End, all within the same battle no less.
  • Toyohisa is a samurai from the early 1600s that was transported to a "new world" by a mysterious stranger. In this new world exists elves, dwarves, dragons, orcs, kobolds, and every sort of fantasy race imaginable. It is later revealed that this world is plunged into a war between the Drifters, historically significant people, like Toyohisa, who appeared in this world from different timelines, and the Ends, monsters and people like the Drifters, but have been corrupted by the traumatic events of their past and turned to evil.
    • In this world, Toyohisa teams up with the famous daimyo Oda Nobunaga and the archer Nasu Yoichi to take over this new world, become the new rulers, and defeat the Ends. Well, Nobunaga wants to be the ruler. Toyohisa just wants to fight people.
    • Despite actually being a tactical genius, he's incredibly reckless and often heads into battle without much of a plan. Despite this, he's managed to take down small armies all by himself with little effort.
  • Even with his tactical strategy of a high-ranking general, he still thinks of himself as just a warrior in a battlefield, not worthy of the title of a general. Many citizens of the House of Military and Warfare are annoyed by Toyohisa for squandering his tactical genius for being a simple soldier.
  • Often visits the House of Fighting and Combat to fight against the other citizens. He surprisingly puts up a good fight against a few of them despite being a demigod.
  • Quite happy to see that there are dwarves in the Pantheon, and the dwarves give him a lot of respect for being able to wipe out armies with, what they consider, a flimsy sword. He often visits them to eat and share stories.
  • Good friends with Joseph Joestar. They both enjoy each other's laidback and trickster nature. Sometimes they fight for the fun of it and put up pretty good fights.
  • A few of the citizens of the House of Otherness are either afraid of him or hate him for his slaughter of many monsters when he was in the New World, and Toyohisa was just as angry when he found out that there were entire pantheons dedicated to monsters. Though he learned to accept some of them as time went on, that didn't stop the other few that still hate him.
    • The Wendigos were pretty surprised that Toyohisa was incredibly hard to instill fear into. Despite this, they still put up a fair fight for him as they nearly ended up killing each other. Toyohisa still managed to come out victorious in the end, albeit wounded. The Wendigos still try to kill him from time to time.
    • Stitches hates him. He thought that he could easily crush the little guy, but Toyohisa was able to defeat him with ease. In didn't help that the entire time they were fighting Toyohisa was ridiculing him, saying how much of an idiot he is.
    • Surprisingly became good friends with Alucard and Seras Victoria. He and Alucard appreciate how ballsy they both are when fighting and generally how they don't act like what they're supposed to be. Unfortunately, their friendship earned Toyohisa a spot on the Millenium's hit list.
  • He and Samurai Jack are not on good terms with each other. Jack thinks Toyohisa is a disgrace to samurais for not being true to their code, and Toyohisa think's he being foolish. They tend to avoid each other out of disagreement.
  • Many has wondered what Toyohisa might look like when he was at a younger age, maybe he was merely eager. Turns out, yes, he was as eager... but just as much of a Fearless Fool that he is known for that his uncle Shimazu Yoshihiro had to drag him out of trouble. When people asked what his uncle looked like, whether he used a giant-ass sword and utilizing the sword style Jigen-Ryuu, even Toyohisa was confused, recalling that he might've used a giant-ass hammer instead...

Quasideities

    Baby Bink 
Bennington Austin Cotwell IV, Divine Fearless Infant (Baby Bink)
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/352ab7ae_3825_41ad_87f9_fdac2ab5c8b5_1_2.jpg

  • Alignment: Chaotic Good
  • Portfolio: A Baby that Doesn't Fear Anything, Tacky Rich Names, Is Very Intelligent and Knowledgeable for his Age, The Ace, Straying Baby, Apparently has "Baby Luck", Had a Time of his Life in a Zoo, Quite Revered in South Asia
  • Domains: Infancy, Danger, Mischief, Fearlessness, Happiness
  • Heralds: Laraine and Bennington Austin Cotwell III (his parents)
  • Allies: Yoshi, The Three Stooges, Tom and Jerry, Kazuma Kiryu, Yotsuba Koiwai, Teletubbies, Nintendogs, Goro Majima
  • Odd Friendship: Donkey Kong
  • Opposes: Any deity who would be willing to hurt a child. Some examples are Ryuunosuke Uryuu, The Child Abuse Supporters, Syura, Champ
  • On Good Terms With: House of Family and Relatives
  • Annoys: House of Crime and Transgressions
  • One would think that babies are completely defenceless and need to be checked closely to ensure their safety. In the case of Baby Bink, it's a different, wacky story. Coming from a rich Chicago family, he was kidnapped by a trio of burglars who wanted Bink's fortune, but the baby proved to be a much bigger and annoying challenge than the thieves were ever prepared for. Whenever the crooks tried to keep Baby Bink ahold, he would end up strolling off to one of Chicago and then the other, prompting a series of comical and failed attempts of the thieves to recapture him. Eventually, the thieves were caught and Baby Bink was reunited with his parents.
  • Baby Bink's last known action was laughing to himself while looking at a book called Baby's Trip to China. Whether he made a trip there with his parents has never been confirmed, though some believe that this may be the reason Baby Bink entered the Pantheon. That said, the first reported signs of him were of the baby simply crawling around the streets of the House of Commerce. He was reunited with his parents again, though, for the baby, he's going to be having... a very long day out, several times.
  • Baby Bink's full name is Bennington Austin Cotwell IV. Most Pantheonic residents find the name to be too long, fancy and tacky and admitted that he's probably better off with his nickname. All that elicits is a giggle from Baby Bink himself, knowing that he's probably right, but it doesn't make it any less funny on his part.
  • Has a rather notorious reputation, which is surprising for an infant. He's usually seen without his parents and wandering off elsewhere. Sitting in the middle of the jungles of the House of Beasts and Fauna, crawling in the rich-laden metropolis of the House of Commerce, diligently looking at statues in the House of Heroism and trying to play with children in the House of Childhood and Adolescence, Baby Bink became famous for being at different places most of the time. Despite his parents being worried, they're given some sort of relief in that there's always good company surrounding him.
    • That said, he's never been reported to have been wandering off close to areas such as the Houses of Villainy, Undead and Phasmata, Hatred and Rancor and Betrayal and Treachery. Given the very numerous evil deities there, many have tried to make sure Baby Bink never ever enters those places. Whether they were successful or Baby Bink is simply too wise to know of the dangers of those places is up for anyone's guess.
  • He's rarely, if, ever seen crying and he's always smiling and optimistic about his routine. Additionally, he never shows any sort of fear or concern regard situations that would make toughened men remotely cautious. Remarkably enough, he's listed as among being the Pantheon's bravest deities, which leaves a lot baffled at how such an ordinary baby gets that sort of reputation. Alas, there are some who aren't happy about it, given the situations Baby Bink goes through.
  • Several deities have taken up to babysitting Baby Bink at some point when his parents often have to take business meetings, though they do take him with them on holiday vacations. Each babysitter has had its own fair share of experiences.
    • The Three Stooges tried to prepare themselves in managing a baby. Instead, they never expected the sort of chaos they were getting into by simply babysitting Baby Bink. Initially, the Stooges would be doing a good job, and then suddenly, Baby Bink is at the streets. In an instant panic, the Stooges rush outside, only to see the baby be in ridiculously bizarre situations like hanging in the edge of a construction tower or being inside of a factory. Still, even if they keep messing up on trying to secure Baby Bink, they have done their damn best to ensure he isn't harmed.
    • Tom and Jerry also took to babysitting Baby Bink, given that they've done a similar job beforehand. Like the Three Stooges beforehand, they were caught by surprise on how quickly Baby Bink suddenly vanishes and ends up in perilous locations. Cue Tom and Jerry getting themselves into brutal Slapstick just to keep Baby Bink out of harm. At least Tom and Jerry are better babysitters than Jeannie if that's one compensation and that Baby Bink doesn't suddenly defy the laws of gravity, unlike the other baby.
    • Yoshi, however, actually managed to keep Baby Bink safe and secure when he decided to take a try in looking after him. It helped that he kept the baby perched onto his saddle. But even then, Yoshi had a lot of difficulty trying to look after Baby Bink, especially after he suddenly wandered off to the House of Beasts and Fauna and ended up wanting to play with some of the primates. All that said, Yoshi did manage to return Baby Bink back to his residents before his parents could. One problem though; Yoshi made a promise he'll come back to visit him. Hopefully, the shenanigans wouldn't be bigger...
  • His parents have made good relations with Kazuma Kiryu, and Kiryu himself has taken to taking care of Baby Bink at times. Even for someone as stern and headstrong as he is, even Kiryu gets into Baby Bink's troubles. Then again, crazy things are something that's a common occurrence for Kiryu. There were a few instances of criminals who tried to kidnap Baby Bink, followed by Kiryu giving them a beatdown. Baby Bink found the whole commotion hilarious.
  • At some point, Goro Majima kidnapped Baby Bink in an attempt to force Kiryu into a fight. Even after kidnapping him, Majima treated him well and even took babysitting lessons to keep check of him. And no, Baby Bink wasn't fazed when Kiryu came in, angry and starting a tough fight against Majima. All that said, nothing malicious occurred between the two and Kiryu expressed some surprise when Majima revealed that he was also trying to take care of the baby. From there, Majima is allowed to officially babysit... if he simply asks permission from Kiryu and Baby Bink's parents.
    • While he finds looking after him very difficult, similar to almost everyone else, at least Majima can entertain Baby Bink in numerous ways. It helps with Majima being awesome after all, he admits to enjoying the time he has with Baby Bink. He also brings along his right-hand man, Nishima, only to force him to babysit alongside him. All of this makes the situation funnier to Baby Bink, but even more embarrassing to Nishima.
      • All this considered, Majima does not want to recall the time Baby Bink suddenly appeared at a ''Majima Construction'' site. Either there was a lot of fun or a lot of mayhem that occurred there. Baby Bink couldn't talk either, so there's really no one else out there who could really describe the incident.
  • Will often be taken to the Gaming Genres Sub-House to play with a selection of dogs. Many deities suggested the parents to take Baby Bink there as they said he would love dogs, but also because they want to assure he's given some sort of active occupation. That still doesn't stop Baby Bink from crawling out and having fun elsewhere.
  • Is pretty well known for having fun with a gorilla in a zoo. As a result, he quickly became friends with Doney Kong when they first met, with DK even allowing Baby Bink to eat from his own banana hoard. Additionally, DK has also made it clear that whoever threatens Baby Bink is an enemy to him. Due to being an infant, DK is understandably nervous about Baby Bink being in jungles, though he'll have him in his clutches whenever he goes vine swinging.
  • There's apparently a book in the works known as Baby's Pantheonic Carnival. While it'll take some time before it's published, Baby Bink is rather eager to get his hands on the book. According to word of mouth, the only beings who are aware of said book's progress and date of publication in the future are the upper-ups of the House of Knowledge.
