Pantheon / Criminal Punishment

House of Crime and Transgressions Index
Criminal Actions | Criminal Punishment | Organized Crime | Piracy | Thieves | Other Criminals

A prison smack in the middle of the House of Crime. It's guarded by voluntary deities working in rotation, like Jorgen Von Strangle, who has a perfect record in not letting anyone escape on his turn. Unfortunately, not all guards are competent like that, thus strong and/or influential inmates can easily break out or take advantage of the system. Some can even casually walk through the facility without any sort of restraining tool.

Deities from other Houses that are caught commiting crimes are temporarily held here until the day of their trial at the Court of the Gods.

• Prometheus, known as the Titan of Forethought, was one of the four children of the titan Iapetus. During the battles between the great Titans and their Olympian children, he and his brother Epimetheus had not fought with their fellow Titans and thus were spared imprisonment in Tartarus. He was also given the instructions to help craft man out of clay. Because he ran out of gifts (like fur and wings) to give to mankind (as his brother gave them all away to the animals), he sought to better their lives even against Zeus' rules. This put the two in conflict. In one great act of defiance, Prometheus stole the fire from Hephaestus's heavenly workshop and gave it to man for their own benefit. Enraged at this slight, Zeus condemned the titan to be chained to a rock (or pillar) in the Caucasus Mountains, where an eagle (or vulture) would peck out his regenerating liver for all eternity. At least until he eventually felt mercy, and had Hercules kill the bird and release him centuries later.
• With some of his fellow Gods in the Trope Pantheon, it was evitable that Prometheus would have heard of this place. As he foresaw his ascension into the Trope Pantheon, he decided to ascend himself and try to exercise his newfound freedom. He initially requested to represent those who have discovered fire, but was denied as he himself didn't technically discover the fiery element. He was instead chosen to represent those who were Chained to a Rock, a classical cruel punishment that existed for a long time. He accept this offer as he didn't really regret having to be chained up for the sake of helping mankind.
  • Like many deities, he too became an amalgam of his portrayals in other worlds, shifting his looks depending on who he's talking to or what situation he is in. His default look that of a beaded man in Greek robes with slightly longer hair. He is usually not known for fighting but then he is in danger, he can shift into either his Deity Demon self or his dual-blade wielding Godfire self. Despite some exceptions which would be mentioned later, Prometheus' altruistic personality is consistent in each of his many forms.
• While most Greek gods and their family have a nasty streak, Prometheus is a champion of humanity. Often seen as a symbol of Knowledge, Crafts and the Sciences, he is welcome in all three of those houses. As he is the Titan God of Forethought who can see into the future, he is also welcome in the House of Prophecy And Fate. His previous achievements in fooling the Gods also netted respect from the Hall of Trickery.
  • Having given fire to humanity, and all the good and ill that it entails, he's well-respected by the House of Fire And Heat. He and Hestia are friendly since they're two of the few members in the Greek pantheon who don't seem to have any jerk deity traits. He also respects Firestorm for his mastery of flame and transmutation. He is also respected by Alexstrasza for his benevolence. Ragnaros seems to respect him quite a lot, but given his personality Prometheus keeps his distance.
• Being a source of wisdom and knowledge for mankind, Ganesha is a fellow deity of whom Prometheus is friendly with. The Remover of Obstacles feels bad for God of Forethought's ordeal, but was glad Prometheus was eventually released from that fate. God of Crafty Counsel is on speaking terms with most of the Greek pantheon (their regular versions at least). He doesn't interact with the version of the Gods where they got infected by the evils of Pandora's Box (which was made by Zeus to spite him) and which he found himself locked up again. Kratos eventually found, freed and killed him, but he doesn't have any hard feelings towards the Ghost of Sparta since it was a Mercy Kill. Plus, he understands what it's like for Zeus to screw you over.
• While Prometheus's defiance towards the Greek Gods and presenting them fire as a means to help them develop and eventually pioneer technology was sneered at by the Gods themselves, some not only took pity to him but also admiration for wanting to provide something for benefit. Hence, Uxie decided to approach him and offer its condolences and to look after him. Surprised to see how a higher being came to respect him for what he did and tried to contribute, Prometheus thanked Uxie for the hospitality and allowed it to become his partner, especially considering that with the help of the Legendary Pokémon, he could seek further knowledge and wisdom for himself and towards others.
• Heracles (or Hercules) originally freed him in the mountains as he was on his way to complete his Twelve Labors. The titan rewarded his help by helping the hero complete his last labor. Some say Zeus permitted his release in exchange for information Prometheus was hiding. In another story, after a young Hercules heard of Prometheus' punishment in his school, he decided to free the titan. He later discovered the reason his father punished the titan was that Zeus was worried that by giving fire to mortals, they might hurt themselves. Hercules and Prometheus were able to prove that the fire can be put out (therefore making mortals worthy of having fire) and Zeus apologized for his mistakes. In the Trope Pantheon, Prometheus is glad to see that Heracles has ascended as well and would gladly aid the hero once again if he needs help. Much like his regular version, the more sanitized Zeus and Prometheus don't bear much ill will with each other these days.
• Some devout Christian deities have observed Prometheus' similarities with Jesus Christ. Specifically, both of them sought to achieve and spread enlightenment with their actions, with Prometheus deciding to gift humankind fire as a way to get them mentally and technologically advanced, and his stealing it from Zeus resulted in his punishment, which is similar to Jesus's depiction in Christianity where his attempt in helping humankind made him a target of persecution. Both figures are also said to have gone through some horrible torment for the good of mankind. While it isn't enough for them to start worshiping the Titan, they do respect him for his noble acts. Prometheus doesn't hold a grudge against them for worshipping a different god. Speaking of which, he is also in good relations with the various Abrahamic gods like (The Love That Moves the Stars, God (God, Devil and Bob), God (Bruce Almighty), and The Presence) as besides creating humanity, they also look out for their well-being for the most part.
• While he has lots of messianic elements, his position as a rebel to the divine order also makes him a Lucifer-like figure. Though disinterested in most versions of the Devil, he does get along with the one from Shin Megami Tensei for being a champion of humans and free will like himself. That's not to say he agrees with Lucifer's more extreme acts of rebellion and chaos, but there is a lot of respect for the Fallen Angel. That said, it's unknown if he is serving under Lucifer in his universe. What we do know is that he can be a deity demon who gives out his flames of strength to anyone worthy to defeat him in battle.
  • Serves as the Ultimate Persona to Futaba Sakura. He pities her feelings of isolation and admires what she's accomplished with her use of technology and the sciences. In general, Prometheus is a friend of the Phantom Thieves of Heart since they fight against Yaldabaoth, a being who wants to rob mankind's freedom to think and rule for themselves for themselves. He hates YHVH for similar reasons. As he is also Baofu's Ultimate Persona, he is on good terms with the Sumaru City persona-users and could help them if their world's Nyarlathotep ever ascends to the Pantheon and tries to destroy humanity again.
• In most timelines, Prometheus initially sided with the Olympian Gods as he foresaw the defeat of his fellow Titans. In one specific timeline however, he is initially neutral in the conflict of the Titans and Cronus' children but later sides with Cronus, and gained the enmity of Percy Jackson and Annabeth Chase. While the case of Adaptational Villainy, his Camp Half-Blood self was mainly doing it because he had a bone to pick with the Olympians for his horrific punishment. Although a cunning and manipulative Titan that might have a larger scheme in the works, he was still one of the nicer titans, even offering Percy to give up hope to prevent further deaths. As a consequence of their experience with their world's Prometheus, the two had a harder time trusting his kinder incarnations, not being sure if they are also part of the ploy of his cunning self.
• The aforementioned Lucifer was impressed by his helping humans to trick the gods like the Trick at Mecone when it came to animal sacrifices. To recap, in some version of his story, the titan tricked Zeus into letting man keep the best meat portions for their feasts, thus leaving Zeus to get fat and bones as a sacrifice to him. Angered, Zeus took fire away from mankind; only for Prometheus to stole and give fire back to them. Tricking the Gods at least twice just to help humans; even the trickster god Loki respects him for those stunts.
• In a timeline where Heracles never rescued him, Prometheus was discovered by a mountain climber named Hayley. As he cannot recall his memories, she gave him the name "Shane", and the two became lovers (and later bore a child together). The Winchester brothers found Shane during one of their cases and discovered Shane's true identity. They also discovered his curse of dying at least once a day, which was created by Zeus to punish him for bringing fire to man and claiming to have caused the Greek Gods to not be worshipped in their world. The brothers were glad to see Prometheus in the Pantheon sometime after his and Zeus' death, which happened after they tried to break his curse. Prometheus was relieved to hear that his and his son's curse was broken and not carried over into this realm. He also contemplated bringing Hayley and Oliver as his heralds to see them again but doesn't want their lives to be more chaotic. Given his experiences with his curse, he also pities those who have experienced repeated deaths like Kenny or the Happy Tree Friends.
• The Titan God tried to look for other deities that share his ideals and love for humanity. He met the angelic scientist Promestein, initially because she happen to contain his name. She is introduced fire to humanity in her world, which got her imprisoned for coming into contact with them and sharing forbidden knowledge. She also likes humans as she thinks they share her curiosity and usage/growth of technology, and even deemed them her rightful successors; although she was also using them for her cruel experiments (which is something the titan as disapproving of). There's also Keiki Haniyasushin, a known god who leads a rebellion against the Animal Spirits and always acts in humanity’s best interest. She could also sculpt creatures out of clay just like the titan. However, she needed human followers to worship her in order to physically exist, which mirrors that of YHVH’s style of rule; something Prometheus understands but is a bit conflicted about as he prefers humankind to be independent of the gods.
  • The Anguished One, on the other hand, found a kindred spirit in the titan much like in Lucifer. Having created human civilization and been watching over it for a long time, he grew fond of the humans to the point that he disagrees with his superior's decision to eradicate the world and helped put a stop to these plans. Prometheus admires this fact about Alcor. Raiden is another god he managed to ally with; he was the dedicated protector of Earthrealm who slowly grew fond of the humans that represented his realm. Upon meeting with the titan, the Thunder God was notably pleased to see another god fighting on humanity's side.
• Prometheus is still fond of humanity even after suffering from his punishment. In turn, most humans are fond of the titan god, given his contributions to the growth of humankind. For example: although not his creation, Adam and Eve seem to get along being the titan being one of the few Gods who probably isn't likely to call for the destruction of humanity like the gods of their world. He also gets along with the band STARSET, considering their goal of promoting science and spreading knowledge via their music, alongside the present aspects of rebellion and fighting for the sake of freedom (as seen in both timelines present in the narrative).
• Merged Zamasu hates, hates, HATES him. Believing mortals are wicked for misusing the knowledge of the gods, he blames Prometheus for allowing them the knowledge in the first place and even helping to create them. Prometheus responded that while it's true man has misused divine information, they are capable of great things and that Zamasu is worse than ANY mortal he has come across. The Mad God lost it and carved Prometheus in half, swearing he would inflict on him a fate far worse than what Zeus inflicted on him for his "ultimate sin", though he was rescued before Zamasu could inflict this fate.
• Although he is free from his bounds, he still has not completely escaped his eternal punishment. After being freed, Zeus ordered the titan to wear on his finger an iron ring from his chain, into which a piece of the rock was set, thereby ensuring that the titan would ever carry the weight of his punishment with him. He pities those who were given a similar punishment of being chained and given a fate worse than death or other similar long-term punishments. The Hulk, for example, was punished with this exact fate when he tried to demand something from Zeus and lost a fight with him. He was also pecked by a vulture before being rescued by Heracles after several days. To a lesser extent, he also pities Victor Frankenstein's failed attempt at playing god and creating a new kind of human.
• Understandably terrified of eagles and vultures (especially those who eat flesh), so he actively avoids any deity related to them. Or Truth, given his punishments to beings considered to abuse knowledge like human transmutation. Not that the Truth cares much about what Prometheus does. Or givers of fates worse than death, leading him to hate AM. He also disapproves heavily of Qin Shi Huang for withholding knowledge from Their people while believing They are doing the right thing. He also doesn't like SCP-542; he's interested in the titan's regenerating organs and tried to steal his liver once. And he really hates SCP-953 due to a mix of her extreme sadism and fondness for livers, while she sees him as an ever-lasting supply of livers to eat.
• Although lighthouse keeper Ephraim Winslow and sociopathic AI GLaDOS may not have much in common, they do share a fate similar to the Titan God. Both were both pecked by birds of prey as punishment for the respective sins they have committed. For the former, it was after he becomes increasingly fascinated with the lighthouse's light and went mad because of it, which later becomes his undoing. For the latter, it was because she was turned into a potato-powered computer by a petty AI core, and then plunged down the earth where a bird grabbed and feasted on her produce. Both of them don't have much to say about the titan; while Prometheus, although he still pities them, also thinks they were quite foolish, especially after he learns of their other more grievous crimes.

"Even if I am to be chained to a rock, my duty is to love you and give you wisdom... The fire I have given you is your indomitable spirit..."

• Alphonse Gabriel Capone is one of nine children of the Italian immigrants Gabriele and Teresa Capone. Growing up low-class in Brooklyn, he would rise into organized crime starting with the influence of Johnny Torrio. He'd monopolize on the Prohibition, becoming one of the most influential and famous gangsters in American history. Despite all this it wouldn't be an enemy bullet or being charged for many deaths and racketeering that would bring him down. Rather it would be tax evasion to criminalize him.
• Many think of him when they think of Neighbourhood-Friendly Gangsters, and that's just how he likes it. He helped with soup kitchens, had a soft spot for children and donated to charity. Of course a lot of this was for PR, but a lot was also because he had a softer side. While he competes with Giorno Giovanna and Vito Corleone for who's the greatest gangster, there's a lot of respect between the three.
• Jail for him wasn't too bad the first time, as he had a Luxury Prison Suite. Jail in Alcatraz...not so much. The conditions compounded with the syphilis in his brain turned him into a ghost of his former self, getting out early due to becoming too feeble to serve time. He is loyal to the powers that be in the Trope Pantheon because there he's regained his faculties, but is still very sour. He hates Polpo and Jack Horner due to how they've come to love their prison.
• Do not remind him that Alcatraz has become a tourist destination instead of being demolished. You will suffer suffer lead poisoning.
• Do not call him Italian. His parents are, but he's born and bred American and touchy if people say otherwise. He's somewhat sensitive about being called Scarface, but is a lot more tolerant than being called Italian. However he is sensitive when people point out he got those scars in a knife fight, rather than the "official" story of getting them in the Great War. He attempted to get Military and Warfare to persuade the pantheon otherwise, but to no avail.
• Officially he's mainly in charge of laundry, which is where the term "money laundering" comes from. Embarrassed by how he was taken down, he wanted a club however Fat Tony took it. Not that there's any resentment, as Fat Tony's a massive fan of him and that's always appreciated.
• For his many faults, he is a genuine family man. Of course being a famous gangster can give him a strained relationship with "Sonny", which Fat Tony can emphasize with. Though mainly a competitor of Diavolo in the mafia business, Capone is disgusted by his desire to kill his daughter Trish Una out of unjustified paranoia and thinks his cruelties give gangsters a bad name. He supports the Heroic Protectors of Family and is compassionate towards Raku Ichijou and Chitoge Kirisaki, being a mafia dad himself.
• Prides himself on a good public image, however the St Valentine's Day Massacre was a Mob War too far-Affably Evil he is, Capone is still a gangster. The House of Celebration looks unfavorably at this incident, forcing him to try and repair his rep in the pantheon. Bloody Marie treats him with contempt as with every mafia.
• Most gods consider the Prohibition as a great mistake, and for many in the 1920s his bootlegging was a godsend. He's fine working with those who specialize in alcohol, and Bacchus was proud of him for his bootlegging during the era. Moe Syzlack is a more complicated case given his on-off relationship with organized crime, however.
• Because of his position and wealth, he can usually get out of a tight fix when he's in trouble with the law. For the most part he manages this in the pantheon, especially given his status as a god. However Night Raid plans to take his kind out as they do many corrupt figures who think themselves above the law, and Frank Castle sees him as just like the Kingpin. Kira considers him the kind of criminal he needs to eliminate ASAP, Abader refuses to be bought off and he dare not try to steal from the Kecleon brothers.
• He has a rival in another of the most famous criminals in history, Edward Teach. Since Blackbeard's ascension, the rivalry between the two has only grown more fierce and he looks forward to challenging him once more.
• A more ruthless side of him was portrayed in The Untouchables by Robert De Niro, who also happened to be the actor who played Vito Corleone along with other gangsters. He finds this pretty amusing. Occasionally he's said to resemble Travis Bickle and Frankenstein's Monster as well.
• Still angry at Tintin for the time he dealt with his diamond smuggling operation, and the time when he run afoul of him in his home turf. Though it was amusing to see him try to take down his rival Bobby Smiles. Still sour about the time Indiana Jones tried to expose his crimes and also tried to punch him in the face.

Eddie Low

Edward "Eddie" Low, God of Attacking Someone More Dangerous (Ed, Filth Slayer, No-Name Killer, Keep-Fit Killer, Head Hunter)

• Alignment: Chaotic Evil

• Enemies: Niko Bellic, Jacket, Dollface (Black), Manny Pardo, Oedipus
• Opposed by: Houses of Beasts and Fauna and Family and Relatives, some humanoid monsters and even people who find him highly disturbing.
• It was a day like any other, many deities doing their things as usual, until someone discovered a mutilated body of a deity who happened to be strolling around. When the person in question was revived, they felt shocked and couldn't describe who or what killed them. This series of events kept going for weeks, until the House of Law and Justice commenced a special operation to find the culprit. After a long investigation and finding paralels to an infamous killer belonging to Liberty City, whose modus Operandi was killing random joggers in different places, it was found that the culprit was Eddie Low, a deranged human being whose hobbies consist of masturbating in public and tearing off the limbs of his victims. He was quickly apprehended after he tried to murder another deity but killing was not an option. In the end, Eddie Low stuck around after managing to evade the authorities and escape his trial by getting a house in the Crime and Transgressions House, although he is not very proud of why.
• While Eddie was already infamous in Liberty City as the "Keep-Fit Killer", he met a rather unfortunate end when he attacked the wrong person. That being Niko Bellic that while they started on somewhat decent terms and Eddie believing he made a new friend, he eventually got angry at Niko because Eddie was creeping him out and decided to try to kill him. Big mistake as unbeknown to Eddie, Niko has killed dozens of mobsters and policemen and was a trained hitman at that, so he easily dispatched Eddie by gunning him down. Thus, the deranged Eddie Low met a gruesome end and a well deserved at that.
• He wants to take revenge on Niko for, in his own words, betraying his friendship. Of course, given how deranged Eddie is, it's pretty likely that he forgot what happened the last time he threatened Niko. Then there are other, like Jacket and Dollface, who have heard of Eddie and wouldn't mind reminding him what happens when you go attacking any random person because he felt like it and like Niko, they won't hesitate to kill him.
• His temple is filled with nasty things all over it, ranging from feces, vomit and even some "leftovers" from previous guests. Anyone who has entered his place hasn't done it by choice and often leave those deities heavily traumatized (Unless they are already too far gone themselves). He also keeps his mother's severed breast in a shoe box, which he often masturbates to because he was in love with her even if she was strict and she might be the only victim of his that he never intended to murder (Apparently, she died suffocated by sand after Eddie kept pushing her head deeper)
• Depraved as he is, Eddie has actually to make some friends. And no, we aren't talking about "friends" but actual deities who at least tolerate him. One taking a stroll down his house he came accross the Brave Companions, a group who made him feel really at home. He also is buddies with Wild Hunt, although he is kind of awkward around Cosmina and Dorothea given his lack of relations with women they nonetheless all are ok with "working" with him in their own perversive acts.
• He is bisexual and has no problem assaulting anyone be it male or female, although he usually he gets a lot of retaliation from nearby deities who spot him on the act. He often likes to hang around with Buck because of that since, while homosexual, they are more or less similar in how they approach others. There are some theories that maybe both Eddie and Buck have done really nasty stuff to each other that they are not talking about.
• He has every depraved fetish covered for better or worse, like crossdressing, torture and mutilation, bestiality, necrophilia and public masturbation. There is not a single deranged thing that Eddie hasn't done yet and that has creeped out a lot of people, has received a huge backlash from the House of Beasts and Fauna and even some humanoid monsters fear running into him. Some even wonder if Niko is supposed to be more dangerous than him (He is, but he is not a deranged psychopath about it).
• Eddie didn't have the best upbringing either. His father forced him to wear women clothes and abused him (probably kickstarting his crossdressing habit) and he later killed him out of spite, he was in love with his mother as stated before even if she was very strict and he even killed his younger brother by throwing him into the oven. His grandparents also were constantly innapropriate touched numerous times, forcing Eddie to spend a lot of years under mental institutions, which none actually helped him get better. As such, the House of Family and Relatives heavily opposses him.
• Believe it or not, Eddie has a personal blog where he recounts many of his "activities" under the name of Eddielowfilthslayer.blogsnobs.org. No one ever visits this blog and he barely has any followers but those who have read his blog are amazed of how he has no qualms in writing down many of his crimes down.
• A common visitor of the House of Slaughter, which might be the only place where he doesn't look out of place. He has a knack for torturing people and that's why he frequents the darkest chambers of the house. Of all the deities there, he is buddies with Dr. Trager because he find him pretty funny. Trager is ok with having him around but he finds annoying that if he makes jokes about Eddie, he gets upset and often sent into a murderous rage.

• John Anderton was a police officer in 2054 Washington D.C. where he was Chief of the Department of PreCrime, an operational division whose main task were to identify and prevent future crimes before they happened via precognition from designated "Precogs", a trio of individuals who are used to predict and see visions of the future. One day, however, Anderton received a notification that he was to be considered guilty in the future for murdering an individual known as Leo Crow. This turned him into an individual who tried to evade the workforce he once served under whilst trying to look for clues and evidence regarding why was he intending to kill Leo Crow, whom he had no idea of. His journey bought him to Agatha, one of the Precogs used for the PreCrime Division in an effort to learn more about the situation he was put into. Only when Anderton reached Leo Crow did he realize the circumstances; that Crow possessed pictures of many missing children, one of whom was Anderton's son, Sean, after which Crow chooses to kill himself when Anderton refuses as Crow wanted his family to be paid a large sum. Anderton later realized the true circumstances about his incrimination; that he was investigating the murder of Anne Lively, who was the murder of Agatha, who herself was kidnapped to forcefully be a Precog. PreCrime's Director, Lamar Burgess was the one behind the murder and played a part in deducing Anderton's future actions so that he could be killed to tie up loose ends. Armed with the information he received, Anderton outgambitted Burgess and his abuse of PreCrime and hiding his criminal activities, who then chooses to kill himself as a means to avoid ruining his own reputation and facing jail time. PreCrime was eliminated, though some of the released prisoners are under heavy surveillance. Around this time, John manages to reconcile with his former wife, Lara, and are expecting a second child.
• Anderton's experience with being a fugitive for PreCrime as well as unveiling the evidence that pointed to its shady acts and coverups were enough to warrant noticeable attention to the former police officer. He was invited to what appeared to be a court trial where he was to present a statement regarding his experiences. It turned out that he was led to a portal that was connected to the said trial, located in the Pantheon. When Anderton explained everything, he was praised for his actions, though he personally felt that he should have done more, especially considering his son, Sean was missing still. As an act of respect and to give Anderton something to look forward to and a platform to help others, he was given the invitation of ascension, which he ended up taking. The Court of the Gods has also promised to help Anderton out in finding Sean, a gesture that he really appreciated.
• Anderton is an exceptional police officer in his line of duty and, prior to his frame-up, was seen as among the best that PreCrime had to offer. On top of that, he is adept in analytics and looking into evidence and future events, which tends to operate really well when they're combined with fieldwork, which Anderton more than excels in. The Pantheon's denizens who advocate law and justice above all are quite keen on having Anderton re-employed for duty and would like to have him take part in a select series of new cases to help along with the Pantheon's ever-growing state. He's agreed to that notice and is even granted a work office and an assortment of equipment based on his endeavors via the House of Science, which Anderton is hoping to use the moment he is to be deployed into work. He hopes that things don't get too complicated for him at the moment.
• Anderton's experience in the House of Law and Justice is a mix of familiarity and him trying to adjust to a wholly new environment. Compared to where he used to work, the technology provided is archaic most of the time, though still quite diligent and focused on its many cases and investigations that it's kept tabs on. One individual he was oddly able to get along with there was Alex Murphy, a cop from Detroit who was viciously killed in a terrorist ambush, yet came back as a cybernetic being known as RoboCop and has since been doing his best to uphold the law and to combat against whoever intends to soil it. Anderton sympathizes with what Alex went through and is awed by the technology that is used to recreate him, though Alex isn't too complimentary about his current state. Anderton feels inspired by Alex's conviction towards the law, though he also states that there are times where the right thing trumps the law, a sentiment that Alex sometimes does agree on.
• Thanks to his experiences, Anderton is very wary of whatever corruption is happening, either in his police precinct or anywhere in the House of Law and Justice. Considering the fact that he was framed and sent to either be captured or killed for simply investigating too much in an unsolved case, his worries were justified by many. That's not to say Anderton is against conventional breakers of the law, such as officers Tenpenny and Pulaski, who perverted the law's rules to mainly satiate their control over San Andreas, and Anderton won't stop in severing their connections and bringing them to justice in some way or another. That said, he has a lot more scorn towards Brian Irons, who has proven to be so vile, he was willing to sell out his own police precinct to being attacked and devoured by zombies solely to keep his depraved pleasures up and going. And considering Anderton's technology allowing him to look into the future briefly to identify upcoming crimes, Irons has been quite on edge about the possibility of Anderton tracking and capturing him, so he's intending to keep himself safe and barricaded for that occasion. Anderton is not deterred by this and the fact that he was willing to imprison and keep orphans for the sake of experimenting on them means he's pretty high on Anderton's "to arrest" list.
• Ironically for someone who worked in a police precinct, he's placed in the House of Crime and Transgressions, a fact that he not only acknowledges but also finds his placement quite annoying, given that he has a need to commute from there to the House of Law and Justice quite a lot as well. Even so, the fact that he was a fugitive once did make him a criminal at that one time, though Anderton would want to not get reminded by such a fact. His police-based allies do respect him enough to lend him a hand in providing him some company, one of which was Commissioner Gordon, who's been keeping track of many of the cops in the Pantheon, Anderton included. Even Batman has shown up to aid Anderton on occasion, though Anderton feels quite reluctant in giving his PreCrime tech to The Dark Knight, although Batman persists, thinking that it's best that it should not be falling into the wrong hands. Beyond that, they've managed a working relationship with Anderton bettering his skills in avoiding and checking up on neighboring criminal actions and criminals during his spare time.
• Being a former fugitive for an organization due to him investigating a case that would have had a level of incrimination towards PreCrime, Anderton was once met by Ethan Hunt, who also had his fair share of experiences of being betrayed and fighting against allies who were supposed to help him out on his missions regarding espionage and stopping political conflicts from escalating tensions, future wars, criminal conspiracies, and large-scale terrorist attacks. The fact that they look like one another did not go unlost on them and sometimes reference it, though the main reason why they became well-acquainted was that they could relate to similar circumstances that they went through. Ethan thought that the technology Anderton used during his PreCrime Precinct days would have been sought by the IMF^note Impossible Mission Force, though Anderton believes that it's best that the tech remains only for use to him unless there are dire circumstances, which Ethan accepted. Ethan has since become Anderton's main person to communicate with when it comes to solving whatever large criminal conspiracies and political unrests are going on in the Pantheon.
• Anderton was shocked and terrified to discover the existence of Big Brother, given its leading nature as a tyrannical state police that aims to sedate and subdue people from pursuing free will, all in an attempt to assert its own control and dominance. Given how PreCrime worked as a way to capture someone before they ever acted on their actions, even if it's made clear there was no ill intent, Anderton feels unnerved about the fact that Big Brother would go to such lengths to psychologically, mentally, and physically torture anyone who so much dares to act outside of what Big Brother desires and usually prefers to avoid it, be it as a being or as a topic as much as he could. However, given that the Pantheon's police force has been quite supportive of him, Anderton has since grown confident and courageous enough to consider taking on Big Brother and its leadership, particularly O'Brien and stop their tyranny from spreading further. On the other hand, O'Brien hardly cares about Anderton and prefers to oversee a larger goal, though he's starting to become aware that Anderton is starting to challenge him more and more to the extent where O'Brien couldn't ignore his presence.
  • On the topic of surveillance, he learned about an incident revolving on superpowered beings considering the right to use a being who can predict the future as a way to prevent future bad actions from happening, which later escalated into a battle against heroes when the topic of ethics and rights became a controversial standpoint. It's how he's gotten to learn about Carol Danvers, who, back then, believed that she could use an inhuman named Ulysses to predict events and stop bad events from happening, and her stout belief in herself being justified resulted in harsh disagreements, which spiraled into a war against Tony Stark. While Carol won the battle, she soon felt empty and filled with regret over what had happened, and not much really came out for Ulysses either. Anderton can understand what she desired and her angst about it, and even considered the idea of wanting to aid her, but his own experience as a fugitive made things difficult and he did criticize Carol for trying to use someone whilst denying their rights over wanting to pick his own side. Carol has since admitted that Anderton had a point and that she should aim to do better than last time.
• Sean's disappearance and his still missing presence continue to haunt Anderton to this day, even if he and Lara are now expecting a second child. As a way to make up for this, Anderton struck a relationship with related Houses of Childhood and Adolescence and Family and Relatives and took up a job to look after any needed children as well as keep a close eye on any threats. Anderton also uses this as a way to reach out and communicate with any like-minded figures that he may come across. One of these happened to be Bryan Mills, a retired special forces commander who went on a rampage against Albanian terrorists when they kidnapped his daughter, Kim, and was successful in not just rescuing her, but also mending their estranged relationship. Both men were impressed by their conviction towards their jobs and their children, though Bryan feels upset that Anderton is yet to find Sean and believes that he may as well be dead. The two maintain a cordial relationship and are open to helping one another, in addition to Bryan promising to help Anderton in finding his son someday.
  • Anderton also wound up becoming good friends with Ethan Mars, who also had the sheer misfortune of not only failing to save his older son, Jason, from an automobile accident but also, two years later, having to experience his younger son, Shaun, being kidnapped by the Origami Killer and having to go through a series of physically and mentally scarring trials to find and save his son before he drowned under a sealed hole during heavy rain. And yes, the fact that both of their sons had a similar sounding name was acknowledged by the two, but they've since made a point to not really bring up these events all too much, especially given that Ethan does feel sad that Anderton hasn't got any closure with Sean, whereas Anderton is happy to learn that at least Shaun is safe and is living a happier life after being saved. In fact, during free times, Anderton has made a point in visiting Ethan and even spending some time with Shaun, and while it does remind him of Sean and makes him despondent to a degree, Anderton admits that it's enough to make him feel some sort of hope and satisfaction, while Ethan believes that Sean is alive and that Anderton shouldn't give up.
  • He even found himself being associated with Angela and Roland, though, in the former's case, it started off a bit rocky due to Angela's nature of being a cyborg created by the Eye/B Corp, and her existence was assured when the Head/A Corp wanted to destroy the former, which drove Angela to become a threat. As a side-effect, this led to Roland's wife and unborn child dying to a being called The Pianist, whom Roland killed later on. However, his desire for revenge extended towards anyone that was tangentially related to his family's death, Angela included, though it took some time before he would abandon his rage and forgive Angela. Anderton felt bad for the two and reached out to them, knowing how it felt to be betrayed and getting mentally broken as well as losing a family member. Roland is at least happy to learn that Anderton is recovering from his own angst and Angela is open to inviting Anderton to work with her in The Library, though he declined the offer, stating that his work as a police chief was more important, something that Angela accepted. He still maintains contact with both of them and has even told them that he's available for help in case they're in need of help in any urgent cases.,
• Due to his stress and despondency regarding Sean, Anderton took to using a futuristic drug known as Neuroin as a way to alleviate and ease himself, though it's quite clear that the angst persists, not to mention that his divorce with Lara didn't help any matters. After his experience as a fugitive towards PreCrime and managing to reconcile with Lara, Anderton's depression has significantly lessened, and so is his dependency on Neuroin. Even so, he found a common camaraderie with an FBI Agent named Norman Jayden, who had to use a drug named Triptocaine via tube packages as a way to dampen whatever side-effects he has whenever Norman uses his ARI Glasses. Considering Norman's case involving trying to find a father's kidnapped son, the aforementioned Shaun via a themed Serial Killer, the two got along pretty well, with both of them respecting each other's work. That said, the two have been making an effort to lessen and hopefully stop their compulsion to their preferred drugs at some point, knowing that overindulging on them can lead to consequences. It's no surprise that Anderton would come to oppose Scott Shelby for his actions as the Origami Killer and aims to bring him to justice. On the contrary, Scott instead presents some appreciation towards Anderton for being someone who is willing to find his son no matter the cost, given his own past of having to deal with an abusive father that indirectly led to his brother's death, but Anderton has no patience to accept Scott's respect towards him, nor think his past justifies his actions.
• Anderton's technology is considered quite revolutionary and a game-changer when it comes to deterring criminal actions from occurring anytime soon, but how it functions and the people required to allow for the premonitions to be showcased is not an ethical one, to say the least, which is the reason why Anderton mostly keeps its technology to himself. Many in the House of Machinery and Technology have expressed an interest in the devices and technology used for PreCrime, which only worries Anderton further, especially considering that someone, especially a member of the Grand United Alliance of Machines would want to use it for their own nefarious gains. That said, he has contemplated lending the information of his tech to others if mainly because situations in the Pantheon may become tenser than they already are and he may become a casualty without any contribution. Some of his close friends, particularly Hunt have expressed support for Anderton in that respect.

• When it comes to Ben, he is a strange enigma of a man. Handsome, wealthy, charming, Ben seems to have it all even if he seems a bit standoffish. However, that was when people started getting suspicious. Is this all a facade for Ben as a means to an end? Various Court of the Gods kept tabs of Ben and discovered some pretty disturbing information about him. For one, he seems to like befriending lower-class young women, after a few days and a few months befriends another one then starts the cycle all over again. What happened to the previous woman he befriended? They aren’t seen with Ben any longer or for anybody else for that matter afterward. The Court of the Gods started digging to find out ... both figuratively and literally. Yeah, the truth of what happened to these women were not a pleasant discovery, with them wondering how Ben was able to do this for so long without a care in the world. They are not making the investigation public yet, but they ascended Ben to keep an eye on the man for the time being.
  • Ironically enough, Ben’s disregard for these disappearances ended up getting him killed when a friend of the last girl Ben had interacted became suspicious of him once that friend vanished, culminating Ben getting a knife to his stomach once his killer was pretty sure his suspicions were confirmed. Ben ended up in the Pantheon afterward, and actually had a better time adjusting here since he believed that he was one of “those kind of people” destined for a place like this.
• Obviously, rumors and debate started spreading about Ben afterward. Is he a murderer or not? It would be incredible messed up to assume but people aren’t taking their chances. Especially when people go on to talk to Ben about this instances, he casually brushes it off as a misinterpretation of his hobby of burning abandoned greenhouses. A less severe crime, but in no way compared to freaking murder. Even though Ben enjoys his stay in the Pantheon, the looks he gets understandably annoy him. And no, he does enjoy the alternative theory of him being a sex trafficker either.
• Even if everyone is wary of him, Ben still is quite friendly to everyone who gives him a benefit of a doubt. He’s not going to be best buds with everybody he meets, he can at least hold a decent conversation with people and seems not to be a Jerkass.
• Is good friends with the Parks, as they see eye to eye when it comes to being out-of-touch wealthy Korean people (they just don’t see that). Ben can’t help but look down at the family that (used) to work for the Parks—the Kims. Ben likes making friends with those from a lower class than his but can’t really find their respect as Ben is a guy who leeches off the money that comes from whatever, instead of actually working as far as anybody knows.
• Byakuya Togami looks down of Ben more so than others. Even if Togami was born into extreme wealth, he had to face off his siblings in who would became heir to the Togami family. This makes Togami disgusted by people who lay on their asses doing nothing but lay on their weath. As Togami says, “If you are part of the 1%, you better bring yourself above everybody else in that regard.” Ben doesn’t really care about Togami’s ranting, as all he wants to do is just go about his business in his Cool Car that he drives around with.
• His outward friendliness towards those of a lower class has gained the approval of Sei P. Asagiri and Stella Hoshii who both encourage these interclass friendships. They don’t really take the rumors surrounding Ben that seriously, though do show a bit concern over Ben dropping and gaining new friends at whim. Ben excuses that as in the current Korean working world, there is rarely time for friendships. He also says the friends he makes live significantly apart from each other, so keeping up with friendships is a bit of a luxury. An acceptable answer to some but people are still suspicious of Ben regardless.
• Anita Teslin overlooks these rumors of Ben over one thing: his wealth. As long as Ben is at least a seemingly nice sort of guy, Anita wouldn’t take even the slightest of criticism against Ben seriously. To everyone’s relief, Ben isn’t depraved enough to go after girls who look and are much younger than he is.
• Even though Ben could be said to flaunt his wealthiness on vices, he doesn’t actively parade around that he is rich to others. Regardless, even he has to draw the line when people use their wealth for malicious purposes like Burns and the Reigan siblings. He tells them they should cool off and just use their wealth to entertain their boring lives instead of trying to make everybody else miserable.
• Rumored to have many a Serial Killer as a friend. All of his suspected friends are sneaky when it comes to their murders. Bluebeard had murdered women he married constantly. Gilles de Rais had used his nobility status of psychotically rape-torture children (which is probably more than repulsive on Ben’s part). Ryuunosuke Uryuu is just a murderous child-killing maniac who worked under the radar for far too long. Patrick Bateman is a yuppie who manages to hide his insanity well. And then there is Yoshikage Kira, who kills women for their hands and anybody else who suspects his identity. This speculation started when people claimed that they saw Ben pass by each one of these persons at some point. Still a debated even amongst those who think Ben is a murderer, as associating yourself with known killers would not exactly be putting yourself under the radar. For better or worse, Ben is much more wiser than most people give him credit for.
  • Though a known murderer, Adachi, is actually public friends with Ben. Maybe it is because Ben relates to Adachi’s nihilism that he finds so appealing. They aren’t full-on buddies but always see each other in tthe bar and decide to just drink with each other during Happy Hour. This caused the Investigation Team also look into Ben it anything nefarious is going on with him as well. Josuke Higashikata, not wanting to repeat a murder going under the radar, goes along with the Investigation Team sometimes as well.
  • Has ironically attracted the attention of a few murderers who believe in the rumors and want to exact vengeance upon Ben for his supposed crimes. John Doe sees Ben embodying Pride for his semi-lavish lifestyle, Lust for his constant flipping through relationships, and perhaps Greed if the rumors him robbing the girlfriends he murdered are true too. Dexter is investigating Ben and seeing if he can justify tying Ben to a anvil then drop him into a river.
• Rick is a bit disturbed that Ben looks exactly like his dear friend Glenn Rhee, to the point mistaking him for Glenn when Rick had managed to bump into Ben at a random time. However, he soon came to realize it was not the same friend who had fought through the Zombie Apocalypse together at closer inspection, as Ben is too clean and too uncaring towards the world to be that same person. Meanwhile, Wan and Keith of Voltron also note Ben sounds like them when he starts to talk in English, which makes the, extra wary of Ben as something feels off about him to them.
• Can also be found in Calmness.

Noah Cullen and Joker Jackson

Noah Cullen and John Jackson, Gods of Being Chained Together (John: Joker)

L - R: Noah and John/Joker

• Quasideities
• Symbol: Their cuffs
• Theme Music: Noah's rendition of "Long Gone (From The Bowlin' Green)"
• Alignment: Chaotic Neutral
• Portfolio: Chained Heat
• Domains: Prison, Escape, Friendship, Race
• Allies: Judy Hopps and Nick Wilde, Roger Rabbit, Eddie Valiant, Atticus Finch, Jean Valjean, Edmond Dantes
• Complicated Relations: Shirley the Medium
• Sitcom Arch-Nemesis: CatDog
• Noah Cullen and John "Joker" Jackson are convicts who got shackled together because their prison warden "had a sense of humor", the catch being that Noah is a black man, while Joker is (or was) a racist white man. When the truck that was carrying them along with several other prisoners crashed, Noah and Joker took the chance to make a run for it. The two did not get along at all at first, but their situation forced them to work together, especially with the sheriff and a posse after them. Despite their differences, Noah and Joker's shared adventure led to them bonding, to the point that neither of them would abandon the other to his fate. They were ultimately caught.
• Another truck came to their prison to transport convicts, but this time, it was meant for Noah and Joker only. They figured it would probably take them to some Hellhole Prison as punishment for their escape attempt. They were even shackled together again. They were wrong on their assumption, as it was really meant to take them to a place called the Pantheon, for they had been chosen to become gods there. They thought it was all a pretty bad joke at first, until they got off the truck, saw the place for themselves and were brought before the Main House, that is. They were also told they were no longer prisoners and that they could start their lives anew from their shared temple. All things considered, this was a much better deal than being in prison, so they accepted. (Their shackles were taken off, by the way.)
  • Of course, their temple is in the House of Criminal Punishment, which basically IS the prison of the Pantheon. They were not happy about this, but then considering they are allowed more or less free rein of the Pantheon, they decided not to be too bothered about this, though it didn't stop Noah from constantly writing letters to the Court of Gods asking for a relocation, requests that were eventually granted by granting them a spot in the Hall of Friendship Dynamics (M to Z), which has become their preferred residence.
• They're not keen on cops for obvious reasons, but they find themselves not minding Judy Hopps and Nick Wilde, who incidentally oversaw the two ex-cons transportation into the Pantheon and also serve as their parole officers. It could be because, like Noah and Joker, Judy and Nick at first also worked together reluctantly and in not-so-friendly terms due to ingrained prejudice, but again like Noah and Joker, they were able to overcome their biases by bonding and forged an unbreakable friendship. Even if Judy and Nick being a rabbit and a fox respectively was something to get used to for Noah and Joker. Though they would have to sooner or later, considering the sheer range of things in the Pantheon that would be unreal in their world.
• Much of the help they have gotten in establishing an honest living in the Pantheon has come from ex-cons Jean Valjean and Edmond Dantes, who are naturally sympathetic to Noah and Joker's story. For now, Noah and Joker work in the kitchens of the House of Food. Every so often, Joker gets the urge to start a get-rich-quick scheme out of his desire to be "Charlie Potatoes", with Noah doing his best to try to dissuade him.
• A fair amount of deities went through similar experiences of being tied to someone without an easy way out of it, leading them to cooperate with other people that they would never have tolerated otherwise. Some of these deities have visited Noah and Joker to share their impressions of Chained Heat.
  • For example, it happened with Roger Rabbit and Eddie Valiant, with the former handcuffing himself to the latter so he'd help the rabbit with clearing his name. When they got to the part about how Roger could slip out of the cuffs through Toon Physics and Rule of Funny, Noah sarcastically asked Joker how come he could never do that. The fact that Eddie Valiant also grappled with prejudice, in this case against toons, and was able to get past it in his dealings with Roger was also relatable to Noah and Joker, even if they find the notion of racism against toons a bit strange (why hate something so funny?).
  • Speaking of toons, they were rather amused to learn there was a Sylvester cartoon called D' Fightin' Ones lampooning their movie. It starts much the same, with Sylvester on the run while handcuffed to a bulldog, and ends with the two free from their shackles, but joined by their legs stuck through a can (it's Toon Physics, don't question it). Despite their attempt to escape not working out so well, Noah and Joker are still able to see the humor in similar situations played for laughs.
• Atticus Finch got a bittersweet feeling out of their story. Living in the American South and having been assigned to defend a black man accused of raping a white woman, a thankless task to put it mildly, he is well-acquainted with the nasty consequences of prejudice. So it makes Atticus glad to know that even a convicted criminal like Joker had it in him to overcome his racism. He does not presume to make assumptions on whether or not Noah and Joker "deserved" jail time, given he wasn't involved. Either way, Noah and Joker (Noah especially) seem to have a lot of respect for Atticus for his great sense of integrity.
• Joker is still kind of an abrasive jerk and not the most sensitive guy. So it was that he made the mistake of angering the medium Shirley by saying a few racist things about the Roma people in front of her (he and Noah happened upon her at a festival). To teach him a lesson, Shirley cursed Joker. Joker thought it was all hogwash, but then the next day he woke up to find he was fused with Noah at the shoulder (basically making them Conjoined Twins). Noah was, needless to say, annoyed to be dragged into Joker's mess and also that they were going to do that all over again. At any rate, they went to find Shirley, who referred to Joker as "the stupid one" and told them she'd need a hairball from CatDog to lift the curse.
  • And so it was how they met the cat and dog known for being fused at the navel, a lot less mystical than Noah and Joker were led to believe from Shirley's description. Cat was rather offended that Noah and Joker were not satisfied with their state and refused to give them any hairball. Of course this only resulted in Noah and Joker stealing the hairball from CatDog's temple at night while they slept. Either way, they got the hairball, took it to Shirley, who concocted the cure and warned Joker not to do that again, and that's the end of that chapter. Well, except for the part where Cat remains mad at them for taking the hairball, but Dog's own indifference (or cluelessness) to the hairball event makes sure that enmity is not very serious at any rate.
