Craft
The House of Craft, for the lack of a better word, is always changing. Sections of the place are constantly being torn down, rebuilt, and torn down again, while its borders continually expand in a seemingly random and unpredictable pattern. The House of Craft is also responsible for building the other Houses (and repairing any damage they should suffer). It also has an innate relationship with the House of Commerce, which owns all of the property in the House of Craft and by extension, all of the products it produces as well. None of the resident deities mind, as they're more concerned with creating the next big thing.
Should you ever decide to visit this house, beware. One deity that had visited it had famously proclaimed stepping foot in the House of Craft was "literally an offense to all the senses."

- Overdeities (they created the very concept of godhood all others here attain)
- Symbol: A D20
- Alignment: Chaotic Good and Lawful Good, respectively
- Portfolio: Dungeons & Dragons, Fun, Dragons
- Domains: Craft, Scalykind
- Gygax's mortal shell was cast off March 4, 2008 and Arneson's on April 7, 2009. The sacrifice of so many hours of free time skyrocketed them both to Overdeities of Craft.

- Demigod
- Symbol: Tournament brackets
- Alignment: Lawful Neutral
- Portfolio: Game Design and Balance, Playing to Win, Aspiring Game Designers
- Domains: Craft, Knowledge, Games, Victory
- Some of his worshippers have taken his texts too stringently, to the point that his religion has been given a bad name amongst some circles. He notes that, ironically, such dogmatic adherence to his texts sets them back on their quest for enlightenment.
Kanako Ohno, Goddess of Cosplay
- Demigoddess
- Symbols: Any clothing not her own
- Alignment: Neutral Good
- Portfolio: Cosplay, Yaoi, Bilingualism in English and Japanese, Huge Schoolgirls
- Domains: Community, Craft

- Portfolio: Spoony Bards, Lovable Cowards, Joke Characters, Royalty, Magic Music
- Domains: Charm, Dream, Nobility
- Allies: Orihime, Lucia
- Lost his spirit in the mortal realm after losing his only girlfriend and being beaten up by an old man. Since being selected for quasi-godhood, Orihime keeps asking him to show her his "magic spoon". Edward asserts that she has no idea what she's talking about, and consults with Lucia to help him write his next ballad.
- Recent events in Final Fantasy IV: The After Years has shown that Edward has lost his spooniness and replaced it with Balls of Steel. How much? It is said that he stood up to resident Memetic Badass Kain Highwind alone and even lived to tell the tale.
Tony Stark, God of Personalized Mechanical Suits (Iron Man, Tony, Dennis Coles)
- Intermediate God
- Symbol: His armor, of course. Also the logo of Stark Industries.
- Alignment: Lawful Neutral (Sometimes Neutral Good, sometimes Lawful Evil)
- Portfolio: Powered Armor, Things That Are Made of Iron, being constantly reminded of the two times he was a hopeless drunk, using his vast fortune to fund superheroics, a sweet goatee
- Domains: Mechanus, City
- Allies: MacGyver
- He's not a Rich Idiot with No Day Job, he'll have you know. Tony made the first Iron Man suit and a cold fusion generator with his own hands, in a cave, with a box of scraps. That was enough for his admittance into this House.
- Given a few days and minimal materials, can build anything from a spacegoing Quinjet to his own personal Humongous Mecha. He's secretly thrilled whenever something he made weeks ago turns out to be exactly what's needed.
- Ever so slightly prone to making evil artificial intelligences inhabiting his armor. One of three things happens practically every other week: Tony's tech comes to life and tries to kill him, Tony has heart troubles, or Tony's armor is messing him up and he's just too stubborn to stop wearing it on his own.
- As a man of (comic book) science, insists that there is a logical explanation for why he is a god now. He is confident that science can explain. Eventually.
- Any relation to the Starks of Winterfell is a matter of debate.
Professor Kabuto and Professor Saotome, Gods of Super Robot Engineering (Grandpa, Old Man)
- Intermediate Gods
- Symbol: A golden Z on an axe glowing with green energy.
- Alignment: Chaotic Good (both)
- Portfolio: Super Robots(quite obviously), Hot Blood, Mad Science, Old Guys Who Kick Butt
- Domains: Craft, Robots, Mad Science
- Allies: EVERY SINGLE SUPER ROBOT EVER MADE AND EVERY SINGLE PILOT OF THOSE ROBOTS, messing with these guys is a bad idea.
- One of them(Kabuto) created the first true super robot, from which all others have been patterned. The other one(Saotome) created a robot so powerful it became the chosen avatar of a cosmic force which is an actual deity in this very pantheon. These guys SERIOUSLY know their shit.
- Curiously enough, while they have known each other for decades and are good friends, they have never actually cooperated on a project before, though the pilots they employ HAVE worked together to save the world countless times. If these two ever joined forces to create a single robot, that robot would probably ascend to godhood immediately upon activation.
- As of why they created female-shaped robots, they will insist that THEY DIDN'T DO IT AS A FATHER'S HOBBY!!
Richard Garfield, God of Collectible Card Games (Richard Garfield, Ph.D., Phelddagrif)
- Greater God
- Symbol: The Color Pie of five slices (clockwise from top: White, Blue, Black, Red, Green)

- And yea he doth spake: "Let There be Magic."
- 2/2
- Unscrupulous Egyptian Pharaoh attempted to kidnap him and return to the past with his knowledge to rule. Challenged him to a card game for his release. Proved his game was not a children's card game.
TOM, God of the Gateway Series
- Intermediate God
- Symbol: The Absolution
- Alignment: Chaotic Good
- Portfolio: Action Cartoons, Anime, The Nineties, Cartoon Network
- Domains: Space, Craft
- Also known as Moltar. He ascended on September 20, 2008. "Bang."
- Lately, he seems to be working his divine powers on the mortal world again, initially as a part of [adult swim]'s April Fool's Day joke. As this "joke" gathered explosive results, [as] seems to have struck a deal with TOM to broadcast to our world again.
Mary Jane Watson Parker, Goddess of Fashionable Appearance (MJ)
- Demigoddess. She was a Quasideity until she beat Shinji Matou half to death with a baseball bat. It looked something like this.
- Symbol:
Her husband's mask, Something currently in vogue
- Alignment: Neutral Good
- Portfolio: Unlimited Wardrobe, Outfits That Fall Out Of Fashion (Sometimes Horribly), Being The Redhead Heroes Want, Smiling To Hide Pain, Violently Refusing To Be Stuffed Into The Fridge
- Domains: Appearance, Vanity, Pluck, Theater
- At one point, MJ was the Goddess Of Supporting Cast, dwelling in the House of Love. She's since suffered a Magical Abortion and no one else remembers when she was married to her husband due to the Everyone Is Single law, but MJ keeps on smiling and hanging out, attending every party. Nothing's ever wrong with Mary Jane Watson, no, never, because if she starts to cry she'll never stop.
- Because both of them have pluck, red hair, and the initials "MJ", and they've never been seen together, it has been speculated that she is Mara Jade. Both of them reject this, Mara Jade saying that it's just coincidence and their portfolios really don't overlap. Mary Jane wistfully said that she'd like to have a lightsaber. It would come in handy.
Angus MacGyver, God of Do-It-Yourself Weaponry (Mac)
 - Intermediate God
- Symbol: A Swiss Army Knife and a flattened roll of duct tape
- Alignment: Neutral Good
- Portfolio: Handyman Stuff, Getting Locked in the Store Cupboard, MULLETS, Knowledge and Power, Making it up as he goes along
- Domain: Knowledge, Craft, Gun control
- Followers: The Mythbusters, Alton Brown, Michael Westen, Chuck Greene
- Allies: Tendo Rushuna, Tony Stark
- Ascended using a makeshift contraption that included a brick of aged cheddar cheese, an eight-track player, fourteen one-inch strips of Velcro, a generous amount of duct tape, and a cement mixer.
- Don't let his folksy demeanor and manner of speaking fool you. That fluffy hairdo houses one of the most agile minds ever to enter the Pantheons. What a Chessmaster does with people, he does with found objects, probably better.
- Because of his strong support for gun control, he's made fast friends with Tendo Rushuna. He also loves to visit the Nature Pantheon.
- MacGyver is a very friendly guy, but don't call him by his first name. Never liked it.
Elenore Baker, Goddess of Ninja Maids and Domestic Skills (Everyday Gatekeeper)
- Greater Goddess
- Alignment: Neutral Good (with Lawful tendencies)
- Symbol: Heart with Margaret Burton's picture on it, but most (if not all) of her followers prefer Elenore's picture on the symbol.

- Domain: Craft, Love, Domestic Skills, Protection

- Ascended by dying for her master Margaret Burton, but not before confessing her love to her. Her last words ("You are my family") allowed her a place in the Family Pantheon and her love in the Love Pantheon.
- Usually a kind and loving deity. However, if Margaret Burton is threated, her wrath knows no bounds. Her love and devotion to her former master gained her the respect and admiration of Ninja Maids everywhere as well gathering a devoted following. She also does the housekeeping for Houses of Craft, Family and Love.
Jill Valentine, Master of Unlocking (Jill Sandwich)
Douglas Darien Walker, God of Caustic Criticism (That Guy With The Glasses, The Nostalgia Critic, Chester A. Bum)  - Greater God

- Domain: Fun, Nostalgia, Craft, Entertainment
- Followers: Everyone from his site (Linkara, Nostalgia Chick, etc)

- Rivals: Simon Cowell
- Enemies: The Angry Video Game Nerd (now more like friendly rival), M. Bison ("How dare he get tired of my "OF COURSE!" schtick... But I do approve of his costume choice during his violent coup"), Malachite.
- In his mortal life, he was killed several times, but Optimus Prime always came to save his life... by dying for his sins.
- Was once the greatest enemy of The Angry Video Game Nerd but after a ceremonious event celebrating his anniversary, they have been friends.
- While he respects Batman, Doug really will go batshit if any mention of the Bat Credit Card is said within earshot.
- Took over his position from Roger Ebert, who was "...TOO FUCKING NICE!!"
- Once tried to stage a violent takeover of the Pantheon with select members of his site. While initially successful, he soon went mad with power, leading to infighting amongst his group and being forced to step back into his natural place as the god of Critics.
- Once attempted to find an artifact called 'Hand of Malachite', only to face the wrath of the sorcerer Malachite. Saved with the Heroic Sacrifice of Ma-Ti, Critic now vows to bring him back to full strength.
The Creator, God(dess) of Living Art

Hattori Hanzo, the Ultimate Blacksmith (Oni-Hanzo)
- Lesser God
- Symbol: A katana
- Alignment: unknown
- Portfolio: Weapon Crafting, Characters Shrouded in Myth, Calmness of Mind, Samurai, Ninjas, Cool Swords with Absurdly Sharp Blades
- Domains: Craft, Metal, Pride, War
- Followers: the kids from Summon Night: Swordcraft Story, Melchior (Chrono Trigger), the Karate Duo Number One (Bowser's Kingdom)
- Not to be confused with: those other guys named Hattori Hanzo
- Hanzo was named after a Sengoku-era samurai/ninja who specialized in, well...swords. No one quite knows how he is able to make his weapons so sharp, but they worship him for his efforts nonetheless.
- The rest of the Pantheon is unsure of what to make of his "God will be cut." speech.
- Is on good terms with Excallibur, who he has made mortal avatars of on occasion.
Glass Joe, God of Jobbers and Cowardly Frenchmen
- Lesser God
- Symbol: A croissant
- Alignment: True Neutral
- Portfolio: Always Losing, Not Even Putting Up A Fight, Improving Immensely After 100 Losses
- Domains: Protection, Retribution, War
- Followers: The J.O.B. Squad, The Brooklyn Brawler, Red Shirts everywhere
- Ascended after sustaining his 101st loss despite the aid of protective headgear.
- Glass Joe's ascent was all part of Wizardmon's plan. Wizardmon needed Glass Joe's uncanny endurance to hold off as many of the non-divine members of the GUAE as possible. To that end, he attempted to rerouted Glass Joe's Headgear from the Treasure Vault into his own private vault to ensure Glass Joe lasts as long as possible. Unfortunately, not only has Joe retired from battle, but Wizardmon's plan fell through, and he only has one of the weaker green models.
Billy Mays, God of Top-Of-The-Lungs Advertising
- Intermediate God
- Symbol: The OxiClean logo
- Alignment: True Neutral
- Portfolio: Shouting, Shilling, More Shouting, Self-Parody, and Even More Shouting
- Domains: Craft, Technology
- Followers: Anthony Sullivan
- Allies: Don LaFontaine, BRIAN BLESSED
- Enemies: Vince Offer
- Ascended after shaking his mortal coil on June 28th, 2009, for a lifetime of service to the advertising industry. The still-mortal Offer was not pleased.
- Is now in friendly competition with Don LaFontaine to see whose voice can sell the most halos.
Neil Cicierega, God of Video Collage
ZUN, God of Indie Games (Hakurei Jinja no Kannushi, Oota Jun'ya)
- Demigod
- Symbol: A blank Circle Cut
- Alignment: Neutral
- Portfolio: Game Design, Moe, Bullet Hell, That One Boss, Alcohol
- Domain: Craft, Celerity, Celebration
- Allies: Every Touhou Project character in the Pantheon treats him with respect, if not in outright deference. Himeko and Chikane are also cordial to him, since he had helped the two of them spread the teachings of yuri by (some would say inadvertently) creating enormous numbers of yuri pairings within the Touhou Project fandom.
- Followers: Those making Touhou Project doujin works, be it comics, music remixes, games, or anything else.
- Although presently only a Demigod, he is a veritable powerhouse due to his extensive relations (no less than thirteen) within the pantheon. Already the Pantheon is guessing where he'd take side in the conflict between the GUAG and GUAE. Of course, there's also that distinct possibility that he may leapfrog a step or two on the divinity scale...
- Can be seen almost nightly in pubs in and around the realm, guzzling on beer and drafting concepts for the next Touhou game in his drunkenness.
- There are rumors that he have been seduced by either Aya Shameimaru or Sanae Kochiya, given their rising status in recent Touhou installments. Of course, we are dealing with Aya Shameimaru here...
- Right now he has two beings related to him rebelling and hating him for constant humiliation: Sakuya Izayoi and Mima.
- ZUN's standing amongst the gods of Music are also pretty good. He was once offered a place in that pantheon as God of Indie Crowning Music of Awesome for almost single-handedly powering the Comiket music scene both by creating fine music and fostering a great climate for people creating awesome remixes, but chose his place in this pantheon instead. To date, the gods of Life/Death pantheon dread the day Yoko Kanno, ZUN, Hironobu Sakaguchi, Yuuki Kajiura and Daisuke Ishiwatari would meet and create a music so awesome to instantly make all heads and brains in reality explode.
- And explode even further if JAM Project is about to give a vocal version of it.
J. R. R. Tolkien, God of Languages (John Ronald Reuel Tolkien)
- Intermediate God
- Symbol: A contraction of his initials
- Alignment: Neutral Good
- Portfolio: High Fantasy, Cunning Linguist, Bilingual Bonus, Lord of the Rings
- Domain: Language, Literature
- Followers: Every fantasy writer, though some don't like to admit it.
- Tolkien has created more languages than you can speak.
- Tolkien and Sauron would like to remind you that The One Ring is not a metaphor for drugs or nukes.
- Tolkien is the only God who can understand the entire Pantheon without reading thoughts.
Shiki Misaki, Fixer/Destroyer of All That Is Seamless
- Lesser Goddess
- Symbol: Her doll, Mr. Mew
- Alignment: Neutral Good
- Portfolio: Backseat Fighter, Mind Over Matter, Literal Berserk Button, Girls Love Stuffed Animals, Improbable Weapon User, Marionette Master
- Domain: Puppet-Mastery, Sewing, Psychomancy, Fashion
- Allies: Neku and Beat, Lucy Heartfilia, Uryu
- Enemies: Sho Minamimoto, Joshua
- Because of a trick set up by Joshua, Shiki was only allowed to ascend for a certain price - she had to use the body of her best friend Eri, instead of her own. Surprisingly, Shiki didn't seem to have a problem with this.
Shadow Crystal Mage, SUPREME OVERLORD OF CRACK!
- Lesser God, though he's seeking to correct that
- Symbol: the most current Fanfiction.net Logo.
- Alignment: Chaotic Silly
- Portfolio: Crack Fic, Crack Pairing, Crossover, Adaptational Badass, Alternate Character Interpretation, Schedule Slip, Serial Escalation, Genre Savvy, Hilarity Ensues, Loads and Loads of Characters, Crazy Awesome, and many more! He seems to collect them...
- Domain: Insanity, Craft, Fanfic, Plot
- Allies: Daidouji Tomoyo and Tuxedo Kamen, both of whom he has given upgrades...; Snowflame
- Followers: Eva Unit 01, also known as Gundam Kaiser
- A most insidious being, SCM has been known to suddenly appear without warning, encourage people to worship him, and leave...
- SCM has recently acquired a self-proclaimed apprentice. Take that as you will.
Mr. New Vegas, God of Radio DJs
- Intermediate God
- Symbol: A microphone
- Alignment: True Neutral
- Portfolio: Ensemble Darkhorse, Mr. Fanservice, Sweet Dreams Fuel, Voice with an Internet Connection
- Domain: Radio, News, Music, Artifical Intelligence
- "Hello, listeners, I'm Mister New Vegas and may I say you look beautiful today."
- Is at odds with Three Dog due to their differing nature and New Vegas reporting the news as is rather than actively take the side of good.
- The GUAG and the GUAE have both recognized his station as a True Neutral with limited uses in combat and have agreed to allow him to sit out the final battle when it rolls around. After all, someone has to provide commentary.
Andrew Hussie, God of Trolling Creators (The Huss, The Big Man)
- Intermediate God
- Symbol: :o◊
- Alignment: Chaotic Neutral
- Portfolio: Mind Screw, Kudzu Plot, Jerk with a Heart of Gold, One-Man Army, Doing It for the Art, Mood Whiplash, Hero Killer, Dada Comics, Fridge Brilliance
- Domain: Art, Creation
- A capricious god who delights in using his followers as a living laboratory in the burgeoning field of Audience Reactions. Despite appearing to make dubious choices at times, both in his work and out, it always becomes clear that Hussie knows exactly what he's doing and why he's doing it.
- His followers are put through countless hoops by his hand, yet at the end of the day he is truly appreciative of them and makes that perfectly clear at times.
James Joyce, God of Modernism
- Intermediate God
- Symbol: James Joyce
- Alignment: Chaotic something
- Portfolio: The Nigh-Impossible To Understand, Stream-Of-Consciousness Writing
- Domains: Craft
- We'd write a description here for Mr. Joyce, but chances are it would be rendered unreadable within nanoseconds.
Lauren Faust, Goddess of Remakes and Reboots that Top the Originals
