Food
As one would expect, the House of Food is a massive dining hall connected to one gigantic kitchen, filled with every tool, appliance, and ingredient one can think of. Only the best culinary experts can step foot on the hallowed ground of this kitchen, and should they ever gain that honor, they will find themselves at the forefront of creating new foods, recipes, and if they're lucky, entire cuisines of their own design. They are also responsible for feeding the rest of the Pantheon, and because deities have to eat too, the cooks of the House of Food enjoy an unofficial immunity from harm by other deities. When a god breaks that immunity, they come under a lot of fire (especially fromGig, whose hotpod-avengingrampages are legendary even by deific standards) and are banished from this House, forced to subsist on bread crusts and whatever their mortal followers will sacrifice for them.
There are other, lesser kitchens, but they are all subservient to this one. A god trying to curry favor with the house has to spend a lot of time washing the many, many dishes.
The only food item that the gods, even the hungriest and gluttonous are wary of is the dreaded "Delicious Fruit", in that despite its supposedly easy-sounding preparation method (boiling it thrice) is an item of great lethality and deadliness to those unable to handle it properly.
Takeshi Kaga, God of Cuisine (Chairman Kaga)
Claims to have taught Aoi and Mai everything they know about cooking, but still can't get either of them to accept a dare to take a bite out of a bell pepper before slicing it up.
Used to be in the House of Craft, but there was so much demand of his services that he moved here to attend the demands of the Gods.
Word has reached his ears that he has an impostor named "William Shatner". His friends are urging him to smite the upstart, as an example to others, but he hasn't yet. The news that a different impostor claims to be his nephew merely makes him smile, for his follower Alton Brown aids that one, and he trusts Brown's judgment on worthiness.
Pac-Man brought his whole family to the heavens one day, but they decided to go back down to Earth when nobody recognized them.
Made the mistake of taking Light Yagami's favorite bag of potato chips...and EATING them without adding the extra "awesome".
He and Kirby spend the majority of their time gorging in the dining hall, cleaning up after legendary food fights or eating everyone's leftovers, usually leaving (or in Kirby's case, spitting out) the plates to be washed. There is no waste in this House.
Is currently the only being to consume Mystery Food X, an indescribably-horrid dish created by Yukiko Amagi and her aliies Chie Satonaka and Rise Kujikawa, without any side effects. Despite which, Pac-Man would still prefer his good ol' power pellets instead.
He also has consumed a dish prepared by Noel Vermillion, a dish so bad it knocks an Eldritch Abomination out. The result for Pac-Man is still the same; no side effects.
Once tried to eat Pinkie Pie after eating a Power Pellet, believing her to be one of the Ghosts.
First being considered for the Seat of Gluttony, Kirby began eating Pac-Man... and everything else in the Pantheons. All attempts to stop him were met with either being stopped with his current copy ability, or being eaten alive. By the time Absolute Virtue's hand was in the shape of a hungry pink ball, the Gods and Goddesses relented, and bestowed him power over two different seats in the Pantheons. Is fed constantly to prevent everyone from experiencing his digestive system all over again.
The cake is a lie. Kirby ate it first.
There are rumours that Alex Mercer is planning to usurp Kirby's position, suitably by eating him.
Vanellope Von Schweetz has banned him from entering her Temple, for fear of another Cy-bug incident.
Holds a major grudge against "Trite", so he rarely visits that house, despite his own legal cred. He prefers to hang around the House of Life And Death, to visit the Feys. When he is in the house of Food, he usually does nothing but fiddle with his astonishingly bitter brews.
He's known for making snide remarks to many of the other gods, but most of them don't say anything about it. He believes this to be because they're all slightly intimidated by him. Some of them are, the rest are either bewildered by his coffee metaphors or don't see him as enough of a threat to bother breaking the nonviolence rule.
Godot's coffee maker, an elaborate thing he designed himself, once broke, and Agatha Heterodyne happened to be near. She offered to help fix it, and in the process made a number of improvements. Before this incident, Godot occasionally became angry enough to throw a mug of his scalding hot coffee at offenders, but now? Coffee this perfect, dark and bitter like an old soul, should never be wasted.
Which is why he makes a different less perfect brew. Just for the occasion of throwing at others.
Upon his deification, Iroh founded the tea shop of his dreams, the Jasmine Dragon. It used to be located in the House of Heroes And Villains, but since the opening of this House he moved here. His tea was so appreciated around the Pantheon that he gained a second title. The only God who seems to dislike his business is Godot, for his ways of "tea and failure".
There have been persistent rumors romantically linking Iroh to a minor archangel of the Goddess of Female Asskicking, a bounty hunter named June. Iroh himself has remained mum on the matter, and, if pressed further, smiles and insists that tea is his one true passion.
Shizuru occasionally visits his place, as the tea he prepares for everyone keeps her from freaking out.
Rumors that he applied for the recent open job slot at Coffee of Doom have not yet been substantiated.
His mere presence saves the existence of spinach from going extinct. Tried to come up with Melon-Spinach bread for Shana, but got horribly refused.
With the exception of Batman with preparation time (lots and lots of it), or Fred Rogers, Popeye can beat anyone in the Pantheon, as long as he eats his spinach first.
Has tried to convince Naruto to put spinach in his ramen, but is repeatedly told "NO WAY!". He's shared a spinach pizza with the Ninja Turtles before though.
Perhaps the only thing nearly as destructive to the Pantheon as a fight between Tom And Jerry is a fight between Popeye and Bluto. The last time this happened it took every member of the House of Food to break it up, and several sections of the House needed to be rebuilt.
Is the only member to beat up Barbatos Goetia, The Killer of Heroes.
Despite her position, everybody fears her and her drinks. It knocks down everyone who drinks it (even though they'll feel good later). So far, only Heero Yuy and Elzam V. Branstein have survived after drinking it; the latter may have even enjoyed it.
Nobody knows what exactly is in her drinks (except Elzam), but the Council of Shadows suspect that Popeye has been suggesting the addition of spinach to her drinks, which may explain the 'good feeling' in the aftermath of the horrible taste.
Recently tried to improve the taste of her Health Drink with tips from Morning Rescue, recommended by Madoka Kaname.
Solid Snake also recommends her the Regain 24 energy drink. It falls to Kusuha to eventually build something combining Regain 24 and Morning Rescue
Occasionally offers tours of the factory. All in all, it's better not to accept.
Rumor has it he may actually be a Time Lord. The Doctor won't say whether that's true or not, but it would explain a lot, not least of which why Mr. Wonka seems to have at least twoforms.
To this day, not a single deity has experienced the boat tunnel of his factory without getting freaked out. Most of them tend to never mention it ever again.
Does double duty in the House of Nature. Aang is pleased that he provides the raw materials for his vegetarian dishes.
It is believed that this young man has taken on many forms and many names (among them Mark, Raguna, and the rather unwieldy "Innocent Life") but his ultimate goal has been the same in every incarnation: making the lands fertile so that the mortals of the towns he visits can enjoy plentiful harvests for up to three years at a time. In recent iterations, he is able to go on even longer than that.
Due to overwhelming popular demand, has added traditional Japanese street food back to his repertoire. Rest assured, though, there'll always be a place for hockey-puck hamburgers, greasy fries and old-fashioned malteds at Arnold's.
When he appears in this house, he takes the rotten fruit used by the other deities into a kitchen, and insists that no one else come in. None of the deities have yet figured out exactly what he does during this time. All they know is that his pies are delicious. Only TomokoNozama suspects something supernatural about the pies, but she cannot prove it.
Shed his mortal coil after perfecting his Ja-pan 44.
Despite his looks, Kazuma has amazed some of the gods in the House of Knowledge and Technology with his math skills. Most notably, he can figure out the answers to most problems in just a few minutes where it takes gods hours to calculate them.
Followers: The Soylent Corporation, Mrs. Lovett, Aptom
Enemies: Clarice Starling, Will Graham, Robert Thorn, Overlord Zenon. Unfortunately due to his title, Dr. Lecter has a tendency to attract members of PETA; unfortunate for them.
His dethroning of Painis Cupcake caused pantheon access to Painis Cupcake videos to disappear, and thus removing the God of All Overlord's favorite source of lulz. As a result, Mr. Lecter is now on top of Overlord Zenon's kill list. She plans on making him the star of her next "dinner for one".
Nancy Botwin, Goddess of "Baked" Goods (Lacy Laplante, The Suburban Baroness of Bud, Nathalie Newman)
Intermediate Goddess
Symbol: Breadsticks and Scones' logo (a stylized "BS")
If she weren't constantly getting her stash stolen (at one point simultaneously by two groups of thugs and her own son), she might have been placed in the House of Commerce.
Lately, she has been asking about getting promoted to the "Goddess of Getting Shit Done."
It was questioned whether or not the Pantheon needed another God of Gluttony, but Jabba is quite willing to let it be known that he does plenty of things besides eat. He started off as a follower of Admiral ZEX. It's not certain to just what extent he likes human women.
He may or may not have a son, depending on the day of the week.
Jabba can speak Basic (English) if he so chooses, but won't do it unless he is sufficiently impressed by or afraid of someone. For everyone else, there's a translator droid or Bilingual Dialogue.
He is perhaps the only being who finds Scrappy funny rather than annoying, which dismays nearly everyone in the Pantheon. He also thinks Scrappy would taste good roasted, with his fur doused in orange madeira sauce. Ho ho ho.
Willing to serve those he can get power and such out of.
He has something against Indiana Jones, and wants to talk to him.
Littie was happily enough that she was able to find someone who would eat her cuisine without gagging. This has led many to wonder whether Pac-Man or Kirby has any taste buds.
Komatsu prepared a dish of Century Soup to celebrate Toriko's acceptance into the Pantheon of Food. Everyone found it supremely delicious, and when they found out that Komatsu and Toriko are companions, they immediately made Komatsu a member of the Pantheon as well.
Are currently banned from the House of Beasts for trying to eat its inhabitants (which Komatsu profusely apologized for).
He is racer by birth, and tofu maker by trade. Not only do his tofu tasted heavenly, but can improve the performance of any vehicle when mixed with fuel.
He quietly rose to deityhood while his son Takumi busy breaking course records he already broke.
His official steed, the Toyota AE86 Sprinter Trueno, is currently loaned to Takumi. He has another car, a Subaru Impreza, but didn't use it for tofu delivery much. The recent surge of belief from fans of the arcade game has given him another steed, in the form of a Toyota FT86 G Sports Concept with the tofu shop sticker on.
He is rumored to be The Stig. They have never been seen participating in a race together.
Applejack used to be here, but stepped down upon the appearance of the original spreader of apples himself. Her (thought-to-be) final act as goddess was to gather her friends and eliminate Discord from the Pantheon. She served as a herald for a time, tending to the apple trees that he plants. After some debate however, she was given a position in the House of Mentalism.
He and his herald are one of the few that can handle the "Delicious Fruit" without exploding into a bloody pulp. Despite the fact that they're more like giant cherries.
Several other deities have tried to gain his favor to get apples, especially Ryuk.
Self proclaimed god of Chinese cookery, he has spent his reign in the pantheon challenging other gods to cooking contests with the aim of dethroning them in the most embarrassing way possible. Many would consider him annoying if not for his penchant for getting not only what he wants, but also being very threatening. The knives may do that.
He has "disposed" of many aspiring gods who wish to clamber up the ladder of the pantheon.
The sheer length that he will go to preparing unusual foods is enough to make Andrew Zimmern and Kirby consider him a Worthy Opponent.
has marked Masaharu Morimoto for his target of deposition.
Gangplank, God of Oranges. (The Saltwalter Scourge, Gankplank)
Followers: His pirate crew aswell as many inhabitants of Bilgewater.
Allies: Other than his crew there doesn't seem to be many people who wants to form alliances with him.
Opposed by: Jack Sparrow, Monkey D Luffy aswell as many other pirate gods in the Pantheon.
Ever since he joined the Pantheon, he has constantly gone to great lenghts in order to replace Jack Sparrow. These attempts almost always ends in epic confrontations between their crews. So far, Sparrow has won all battles.
Is one of the bartenders in the Pantheon known to serve the Pan-GalacticGargle Blaster. Those who survive and manage to walk out the door without stumbling earn their place in a special Wall of Fame. So far only the photos of Homer, Captain America, Zoro, Belldandy and Bender have been placed there.
Portfolio: Everything imaginable, drinking Dos Equis when he decides to drink (which he does not always decide to do)
The Most Interesting Man In the World ascended into the Pantheon when he decided one day that he wanted to do it. No one was able to stop him, not that anyone tried; they knew better.
Ascended after Musashi Tomoe was watching a record of the life of Kyouko. Musashi Tomoe was so impressed by Kyouko's Heroic Sacrifice and Mercy Kill that he had to appeal for Madoka to elevate her in... only for Madoka to say that preparations have already been made.
She is always seen chewing something, no exceptions. Usually a stick of pocky. If not that, an apple.
The history she has with Sayaka Miki is conflicting, at best. It turns out that she considers Sayaka a close friend. And will do alot to protect Sayaka.... even from herself.
She and Mami Tomoe use to be old friends and a team. Much has happened, but they have recently reconciled that friendship. Litchi notes that when the two of them are together... they are alot like sisters than friends. Kyouko agrees. And to be honest, she will do a lot to protect Mami as well... because to Kyouko, Mami is family.
Due to Sayaka and Mami being between the both of them, Kyouko Sakura and Akemi Homura tend to be hostile.
Don't ask her to call out her attacks. She'll simply laugh at the concept, a bit of a personal joke that makes Mami pout.
The rage Kyouko has for Oktavia is... immense. Kyouko will generally go all out on her.
Anyone who wastes and throws away good food in her sight will be sternly warned: "Do not waste food, or I'll kill you!" Anyone who does it more than once is liable to find himself/herself on the receiving end of Kyouko's deadly spear. She is not kidding...
She seems somewhat a fond to Mami's new 'big sister' Litchi (Kyouko can't believe Mami got out-big sis'd). Maybe it's the voice.
Rumored to have an illusion powers, but is not known to use them. She instead prefers using her spear all the time. Her spear proficiency is pretty high, given that she also trains under Cu Chulainn/Lancer in spare time, who was actually impressed with her ferocity when she's fighting.
Despite destroying at lest one kitchen in the House of food everytime he cooks a simple meal, he still insists that he is just cooking it in the regular Swedish style. Somehow, he still manages to make his meals tasty enough to eat.
There are only two things besides mayonnaise that he treats gently: Moose meat and Swedish Ladies. The former out of love and the latter out of pure, unleaded fear.
In order for him to function properly, he needs at least one spoon of mayo every day. He shows no mercy to those who come between him and his mayo!
Allies: Fievel Mousekewitz, Miss Kitty, Wylie Burp, Jerry, most rodents in the Pantheon.
Enemies: Greebo, Cat R. Waul, Warren T. Rat, most dogs besides Wylie Burp.
Followers: Most notably, a small tribe of Mohican mice in the Utah desert were his first followers, once they noticed his resemblance to a nearby rocky outcropping. Also, a trio of vegetarian sharks have looked to him for guidance, as well as Chomper.
He'll help any carnivore that wishes to ween themselves off of meat, or at least switch to a diet less harmful toward whatever vegetarian friends they've made (perhaps a diet of bugs, fish, etc.). He can also grill a good veggie burger that tastes almost like the real thing.
Doesn't eat red meat at all. His favorite foods are broccoli and Swiss cheese ice cream. Despite his vegetarian diet, he is somehow still a Fat Cat.
Mostly a pariah among his own species, he tends to hang around in Mouse World most of the time. Though a Lovable Coward, he'll stick up for his mouse friends when they really need him to.
After working hard and earning all of that money to get her restaurant, she ascended into the Pantheon for her determination. She serves up a good bowl of gumbo and beignets for all who come to eat while her husband, Prince Naveen, can be dicing up a platter of fruits for all to enjoy.
Spends time with Lottie in the House of Commerce catching up. When Tiana ascended, Lottie rushed in and gave her friend a hug.
She's very grateful to Tohru, who intervened in the frog escapade and supported her ascension. They share a similar work ethic, and enjoy cooking together.
Doesn't get along quite well with either Wart or King K. Rool, despite having been a frog, and befriended a alligator once.
When not at work, she would look upon the two wishing stars the souls of her friend Ray and his love Evangeline, and make a wish. She doesn't reveal what her wish is, but you can bet that she'll work hard to make it come true.
Kero, God of Sweet Connosieurs and Guardian Beast of the Clow Book (Cerberus/Keroberos, Kero-chan)
Enemies: Anyone who hates sweets or threatens Sakura.
Released from the Clow Book accidentally by Sakura Kinomoto and now lives in her desk drawer. Joined the Pantheon around the same time as the Clow Mistress and immediately went to rivals Syaoran Li and Spinel Sun to pull raspberries in their faces.
While devoted to Sakura, Kero also has a degree of loyalty to his original master Clow Reed.
Became a big supporter of Amaterasu due to her status as the Goddess of the Sun and Moon. He often tries to send her sweets and candy, but Amaterasu sends a thank you card to Kero, and donates the candy to other Pantheons.
Kero's chosen Pantheon was a challenge for Sakura. First he considered going to the Bestiary but changed his mind upon seeing Aslan was present and did not like the idea of fighting a fellow lion for supremacy. The next stop was the House of Magic, but left when Harry Dresden accidentally fired an explosive spell at him. Kero crashlanded in the House of Food and immediately fell in love with the sweets, cake and candy. He tried to become the offical taste tester, but lost the position to Andrew Zimmern.
Threw a party in Sakura's bedroom and invited Pinkie Pie, L, Spinel and Mokona Modoki, bringing a bag of candy with them. When Sakura got home, her only reaction to the hyped up party members was "HOOEEEE!"
Along with Kirby, Vanellope von Schweetz has also banned him from entering her temple due to his gluttony over sugar and sweets.
Said to have ascended after the bronies refused to allow her censorship.
Is now the official mailmare of the Pantheon, but several Houses (notably the House of Technology) refuse to let her in after several incidents involving her leading to destruction of valuable material. To be fair, she just doesn't know what went wrong.
