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.
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.
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.
Despite her position, everybody fears her and her drinks. It knocks down everyone who drinks it (even though they'll feel good later). The only one who seems to enjoy it is Elzam V. Branstein of the House of Craft.
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 Jack 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.
His dethroning of Painis Cupcake caused pantheon access to Painis Cupcake videos to disappear, 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.
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 final act as goddess was to gather her friends and eliminate Discord from the Pantheon. She now serves as a herald, tending to the apple trees that he plants.
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.
Many dieties never bother to use any form of ability that affects his status in any way, since his oranges seems to cure almost anything in an instant. Exept for forced teleportation, that is.
He once faced the wrath of Jigsaw, who locked him in one of his more sadistic traps. But Gangplank ate an orange and it was K.
Symbol: a stick of pocky crossed with a spear, also the mark of her father's religious movement
Alignment: Chaotic Neutral? Constantly varies. Was initially Lawful Good, turned Chaotic Neutral leaning almost on Evil when her father went insane, started leaning towards Good once again upon getting to know Sayaka.
Enemies: KYUBEY, Oktavia Von Seckendorff, Terumi Yuuki, Kefka Palazzo
Ascended after her Heroic Sacrifice and Mercy Kill on the mermaid witch Oktavia Von Seckendorff. It impressed Musashi Tomoe so much that he had to appeal for Madoka to elevate her in... only for Madoka to say that she's already making preparations.
Even after deification, she is always seen chewing something, no exceptions. Usually a stick of pocky.
The Pantheon is for her an opportunity to reunite with her friend (possibly more than friend) Sayaka, so she spends most of her time in the house of Magic rather than this one where she technically belongs.
When Oktavia emerges, the Gods always call upon Kyouko first.
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 on the receiving end of Kyouko's deadly spear. She is not kidding...
Was once a duo with Mami Tomoe, until a certain falling out. They have since mended their friendship. She still laughs out at the concept of Calling Your Attacks. She seems somewhat a little fond to Mami's new 'big sister' Litchi (Kyouko can't believe Mami got out-big sis'd). Maybe it's the voice.
Rumoredly has an illusionary power, but right now she rarely uses it. She instead prefers using her spear all the time. Her spear proefficiency 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.
Allies: Thorkel The Tall and the Epic Meal Time gang.
Enemies: Any fan of sallads and tacos. Also foxes.
Followers: Moose and Swedish Ladies.
Despite destroying at lest on 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!
