  • The Entity is a force of an unknown origin, its true goals unknown but what can truly be said about it is that it feeds on the Emotions of people, particularly Fear and Hope. In order to do this, he captures survivors from around the world it's terrorizing during a period where they might be as their most vulnerable and pits them against a chosen champion of the Entity, who happens to be another individual who abandoned all hope and became an unrepentant killer that will kill the survivors in order to sacrifice them for the Entity. This constant cat and mouse game between the survivors and the killer is a constant one, by design of the Entity they will be subjected to this until the survivors can no longer be drained of hope. This is why the Entity eventually made its way to the Pantheon...
  • A dark fog engulfed a sizeable chunk of the House of Gaming, many stating that it eventually turned into a portal belonging to the Entity's realm, known as the "Killing Grounds". Those who enter there will not have a pleasant time and Pantheonic Authorities have tried their best to prevent people falling under the Entity's clutches, not helped by the fact that many of the killers and survivors that have been in said realm have been drawn or even forced to visit said realm. Outside of the Entity's domain, it still poses a threat considering how it can compel and corrupt people into potentially dangerous situation but given the pedigree of the Pantheon's top deities, it hasn't been as successful as it expected.
  • The Pantheon has offered the Entity a new way to feast on the unsuspecting deities that reside it, as the mortality rules in the Pantheon are very similar to that of the own entity's realm, with the main difference being that it can't feed off the emotions of the casualties unless it is directly involved with said deity's demise. Many of the killers that have worked for it also roam the pantheon halls although depending on their allegiance, they might not always hunt on behalf of the Entity unless they are directly summoned by it.
  • One of the many things that the Entity consumes is hope, which instantly made it the number one enemy of all the Hope Bringers in the Pantheon as it poses a huge threat for the well-being and hope of many vulnerable deities at large. They have also have tried to take measures to free all the survivors that are damned to roam the Entity's realm until they are nothing but a souless husk.
  • As the ultimate figure against hope, Junko Enoshima instantly took a liking to the Entity for being another potential way to induce despair upon the world but even she knows the dangers of willingly working for the entity, as one day it might just twist you into another mindless drone that only kills to feed its neverending hunger. Junko and Monokuma have somewhat succesfully "reasoned" with the entity to snatch any of the potential victims that unfortunately perish in their killing games, which has the unfortunately side-effect of also including them should they die but they are willing to risk it anyway.
  • Many of the killers, as well as a handful of survivors, come from a different universe that the entity forcefully captured them from. With a handful of exceptions, most of the killers arrived unwillingly but will gladly work for the Entity if it means killing and sacrificing survivors to appease it. Some of the killers, however, behave different to the point that even the Entity struggles to control them.
    • Michael Myers is infamous for being pure evil and the Shape is probably the only one that came to the realm willingly, mostly because Laurie Strode was dragged into the realm by the Entity. With the right tools, Michael can even ignore the hooking process and just straight kill the survivors which the Entity is not really keen off but even then knows that the Shape is an effective killer so rarely bothers to correct course with Myers.
    • By far the biggest thorn in the Entity's side is Pyramid Head. The Executioner is actually working against the Entity's system and has set Cages of Atonement which act like the hooks except it denies the entity it's feasting on the sacrificed survivors. And even then, Pyramid Head can execute them without utilizing a Mori, suggesting that the Executioner wasn't drawn into the Entity's dimension to be another pawn to it but to instead torment the Entity.
  • Many similar being like the Entity have taken an interest in its dimension, as it could be a potential festering ground for more evil to grow an actually benefit both the Entity and the other parties. Yapool adores that it creates a cycle of death and despair which would prove handy in fueling the Minus Energy but the potential hurdle being that the Entity tends to be very picky with what kind of power Yapool can get its hands on given how instrumental it can be to the cycles. Similarly, Molag Bal is mildly interested in the constant death and murder that the Entity is responsible for and in many ways, its actions reflect that of the Daedric Prince (especially considering he is responsible for the first rape of the priestess, which in many ways mirrors what the entity does with the killers that it employs). But Molag Bal might actually be one of the few who can actually match the entity in power but unfortunately for the Pantheon at large, he is actually in agreement with what the Entity does to whatever realm it invades.
  • In a weird turn of events, the Entity not only find opposition from the Hawkins Party (friends of Nancy and Steve) but also the lord of the Upside Down, the Shadow Monster. Mostly because the Mindflayer got threatened by the Entity invading its territory and even daring to capture a Demogorgon to use as one of the Entity's personal attack dogs. The Shadow Monster is powerful enough to snare the Demogorgon trapped in the Entity's realm away from its grasp but that could easily backfire as the Entity's essence seems to spread accross the Upside Down. Many wonder if a war between the Entity and the Upside Down could happen but no one is sure if that even is gonna end up going well for anyone at all.
  • Another unexpected enemy for the entity turned out to be the Incubators. In many ways, both sides are involved with the concepts of hope and despair but because the Incubators try to harvest those emotions to prevent an even bigger disaster, even if at the cost of others, is much more of a noble cause that whatever the Entity does. Besides, it's counterproductive if the Entity keeps eating all the hope and potentially all the despair from everyone until they are left with nothing but Kyubey and Co. haven't found ways to permanently deal with the Entity as they haven't been able to discern it's true form and entering its territory is a risky endeavor.
  • Since its dimensions defies the concept of death and constantly loops to feed into that illusion of hope, many grim reapers despise the Entity, even the most evil ones. One of it's fiercest opponents came in the form of Death from Final Destination, the reason being how the Entity interferes with the natural cycle of death and this version of Death has been unable to course correct unlike in previous attempts because of the different rules present in the Entity's realm. And even killing those that cheat death is pointless as it only furthers the Entity's own cycle of feeding on the deceased's emotions.
  • Arriving to the Pantheon only made the Entity aware of potential new recruits that one day could join the ranks of its killers. Many from the likes of Candyman and Chucky seem like likely being the Entity would snatch in a heartbeat and has been biding its time before it actually happens. Others, like Pennywise, are similar creatures like the Entity and IT would benefit greatly from terrorising people in the Entity's killing grounds, although it's unlikely it would follow orders willingly.
    • Mother Miranda and her lords were eager to visit the Entity's realm after hearing of several of their own universe being trapped there and potentially as revenge against Ethan Winters, they are willing to align with the Entity just to get another chance of getting back at Ethan.
  • Recently, they have caught interest in Sadako Yamamura and how her curse works. As of right now, attempts to capture Sadako and make her one of its Killers has failed, but it believes that it only needs a few months to do so.
  • Despite many rumours, no, the Entity has no humanoid avatar. And no, Nea Karlsson is not the Entity either despite what others would say.
  • For some reason, not even real life people aren't immune to them. Nicholas Cage was relaxing after one of his performances before the fog sucked him away.

Greater Gods

    Sackboy 
Sackboy, God of Level Creation (Sack Thing, Sackperson)
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/sackboy_psasbr.png
  • Greater God
  • Symbol: The Pop-It
  • Leitmotif: "Get it Together!"
  • Alignment: Neutral Good with traces of Chaotic Good
  • Portfolio: being in various degrees of punk, having a giant zipper, creating worlds of all sorts, doing what he does for smiles, not able to speak at all, able to fight others despite being tiny, always smiling
  • Domains: Happiness, Creation, Imagination, Sharing
  • High Priest: Tag
  • Allies: Steve?, Ratchet, PaRappa, the House of Craft, Maxwell
  • Enemies: all evil gods in the House of Hatred and Rancor and all members in the GUAE, Vex
  • Rivals: Subject Delta
  • Flew all the way to the Pantheon on his base, The Pod, and immediately assembled his temple with little time to waste. His temple and power continue to grow as they are based on the creation and imagination of people around the world.
  • Sackboy has been called to help create new temples/fix areas of the Pantheon whenever a giant battle happens. His biggest achievement has been creating the new House of Friendship.
  • Visitors are allowed to enter and have their own fun in exploring, creating and manipulating the world around them. They also get the friendly help of the Narrator that guides them throughout the land. Many of the Gods have requested in Sackboy's help in additions to their own Temple, which Sackboy immediately complies.
  • Despite his friendly appearance, Sackboy found himself fighting other combatants from different worlds. Rather than go for power, money or glory, he went to these combatants so he could heal them and their worlds with the power of his creation. After his adventure, he came back, his prize being the smiles of people who create and share with others.
    • He unwittingly started a rivalry with Subject Delta due to having fought a Big Daddy in the Battle Royale, as well as how Sackboy was able to win the affections of his Little Sister through games.
    • There's also the fact that Sackboy, who is at best 8-inches tall, is capable of bringing Kratos to his knees (with a little help from Cole MacGrath and Nathan Drake. In fact, many are wondering why Sackboy isn't considered a full-blown Overdeity, considering that his power grows with all of the levels pouring into the world of LittleBigPlanet. The Narrator explains that it's Sackboy's mission to create to live, and that his imagination is to brighten people's worlds, not destroy them. Thus, Sackboy is fine with being a Greater God as long as people continue to use their creativity to their own liking.
  • Is adored by many of the female goddesses and conjures up many types of toys and games for them to play with. This also includes some of the more...unstable Gods like Alice.
  • For some odd reason, he can sometimes seen as a Sackboy version of Cole MacGrath, Nathan Drake, or PaRappa. Other times he can be seen as a Sackboy version of Solid Snake and even Revolver Ocelot.
  • Gets along well with Maxwell as they are known for creating all sorts of things to their liking. A prophecy states that when the end of the world comes, the two will use their powers to fill the new world with wondrous things the likes that no one has ever seen before. Until then, the House of Commerce has been making bets to see who can one-up each other to see what type of crazy things they can create.
  • The Runaway Guys have traveled through Sakcboy's temple once in their avatars: The Mustachioed Shark (Chugga), Mexican Penguin (ProtonJon) and Victorian Lady Gaga (NintendoCapriSun). Anyone who encountered them could only stare in amazement at how loud they were. They went at it again in another set of costumes. Neeldess to say, it was even more hectic.

  • Model Unit No.9 Type S was a YoRHa unit designed for scanning capabilities against machine lifeforms for the "Glory of Mankind", though he eventually managed to hack himself to be able to participate in combat. Despite doing a good job aiding 2B and collecting information and data about the past and mankind, 9S would face further turmoil as he would be confronted by rogue androids, Adam and Eve, who would explain the circumstances about the battle between mankind and the alien lifeforms who invaded thousands of years ago. After knocking back a titanic machine, he was captured by Adam with the intent of extracting information based on mankind before being freed by 2B and succumbing to a deadly epidemic known as the Logic Virus that would drive him insane. Though killed by 2B after a fight against Eve, =[9S=] would resurface thanks to backing up his memory data, but things would get worse later on as the Logic Virus became rampant and corrupted the entirety of YoRHa, with even 2B being infected and forcing herself to be killed by A2, an event that 9S arrived too late to see and interpret as the latter killing the former without mercy and setting off an intense rage. In his desire for vengeance, 9S would discover that humanity had been long extinct, that YoRHa units were seen as disposable, and that both androids and machines were made with the same memory processors which left a huge toll on his growing madness. Eventually, he would confront and battle A2 despite being affected by the Logic Virus again. Regardless of the outcome, 9S would pass away from his injuries, though the efforts of Pods 042 and 053 ensured that their memories and a backup body would be preserved for him to lead a new life in bliss with 2B and A2.
  • Much like 2B, details on 9S ascending into the Pantheon were a bit of a mystery despite his tale being well-established, although a backup body of his began activation and he would venture out into the divine realms, quickly catching up about his presence in the Pantheon. Fortunately, his reunion with 2B came rather quickly and he was happy to be alongside her again and was eager to travel alongside her, feeling that together they could try to come up with a new way to live a life now that the Pantheon has given them a second chance. Of course, he was shocked that A2 had also ascended and was adamant about taking her on again, at least until 2B finally told 9S about the circumstances of her death, allowing him to set aside his grudge towards A2 and properly focus on the second chance he’s been given, though he still keeps caution on the rogue YoRHa unit for the most part. For now, 9S seems happy to be in the Pantheon, largely because, to him, it feels a lot more expansive, harmonious, and peaceful than the desolated Earth he came from, even if the divine realms still have their fair share of threats to deal with.
  • 9S’s nature as a support unit means that his main purpose is to scout and collect data and data as designated by YorHa. To ensure this, he, alongside similar models, is programmed with a special ability to hack into machines be it sentient or inanimate, and assume control of them should they be successful. This is their way of proving themselves useful in combat despite not having the same power and finesse as a combat unit like 2B, but 9S nevertheless proves himself to be a capable scout and a fighter when the chips are down. Unlike most androids, he has an inquisitive, curious nature and often openly expresses himself about his thoughts and feelings in contrast to the generally quiet and professional nature of the other androids. This furthers his defining characteristic - his loyalty and love for 2B, whom he would do anything to spend time and provide assistance for, though this also leads to a fault of him being reckless, impulsive, and prone to acting emotionally should things go wrong. For now, being with 2B in the Pantheon mitigates 9S’s reckless tendencies as well as halting the maddening insanity he went through, not to mention humanity’s presence and the expansive scope of cultures and lifeforms in the divine realms mean that he might find further purpose beyond just being a support unit.
  • Like 2B, 9S was surprised and interested by the different types of androids there were on the Pantheon. Naturally, his curiosity meant that he wanted to learn more about them and see what his inquisitiveness could lead to, though this also meant that 2B kept attention to make sure trouble didn't brew too much. While 2B herself was able to befriend many androids like Connor, Kara, Markus, most of the Red Ribbon Androids, and Vision, 9S quickly followed suit and he was able to converse with them for long periods, eager to learn from them just as much as he could learning about them. They quickly recognized how similar he was to an overly curious and determined person and found that rather endearing, though given his past, they felt that he does need some mentoring and support to make sure he doesn't let his emotions get the better of him, something that 2B took to heart after learning of 9S’s mental decline after 2B’s death. The more vicious and cruel androids like Dr. Gero and Cell did unnerve 9S due to the depths of their vileness as well as the latter’s overwhelming power. While he dislikes them a lot, 9S makes it a point to avoid them, especially considering that Gero and Cell are immune to his hacking ability due to their mostly biological nature, but he isn't above fighting them if need be.
  • Compared to 2B who takes her battles and investigative works professionally, 9S is more prone to taking things seriously and emotionally to the point where he is the more adamant one in opposing machines, especially when he recommended taking out Pascal before eventually accepting her as an exception to the machines he's gotten so used to fighting against. As a result, he has a harder time determining the morality of machines in the Pantheon, though even without 2B’s influence, 9S is making some improvements in interacting with machines beyond just hostility and is aware that the Pantheon is a far different world compared to the one he is from. The House of Machinery and Technology appears to be a good starting point for 9S to start his newfound attempt to communicate and establish a relationship with machines that aren't hostile though it’s also clear that there are many benevolent robots and automata as much as there are malevolent ones. Hopefully, 9S’s hacking capabilities might help him out and even he's a bit surprised by how potent and devastating they are in comparison to other hacking capabilities.
  • Given the world he came from, the role he served under YoRHa’s orders, and the destruction he's seen, 9S has some apprehension about machine lifeforms, and given recent events, he's trying to make an effort to overcome his grief, trauma, and his contempt towards them, especially given how many of the machines in the Pantheon were genuinely heroic and took pity in his plight and tale. Doctor Weil proved to possess the same capacity of hatred as 9S did, only instead of trauma and loss, Weil’s hatred was solely out of self-interest and a sense of entitlement and seeing robotics (or in his case, Reploids) as inferior. 9S was terrified by the the rage and spite Well possessed mainly because it caused him to self-reflect and realize just how destructive and messed up he was after 2B’s death and it is also for these reasons he hates Weil the most out of the ascended YoRHa units and is unhesitatingly cold and contemptuous towards him, vowing to kill Weil if they ever meet. The Reploid mass murderer was initially incensed by an android daring to challenge him but was then amused by his rage and his trauma and is interested in driving 9S into despair, hoping that he could pull a devious trick and convert him into his side, a prospect that he and the other YoRHa units aren't willing to allow.
    • Weil’s attention and his interest in 9S would cause the latter to look into Reploids and similar robotic beings like him. Fortunately, almost all of them were in opposition against Weil for the horrible actions he committed and they’ve been mainly sympathetic towards 9S for what he's been through, though they are wary of him due to his connection with the Logic Virus and seeing that it could make beings like them just as vicious and unstable as those afflicted with the Maverick Virus. Mega Man X and Zero maintain their wariness towards 9S because of that, but it also didn't stop them from feeling that they should help the android out in feeling better and getting better integrated into the Pantheon and they’re willing to encourage 9S to appreciate more about what he has at the moment, a sentiment he was touched by. The Vision himself was a victim of android persecution but understood that 9S was more so a victim of strict orders and being isolated from harsh truths, deciding that he would become better adjusted if given enough time to independently decide how his life in the Pantheon should be led as well as believing 9S would want a more free and tranquil life with his second chance. Fortunately, the idea of a functional yet affable machine society seems like something 9S would be keen on seeing, especially as someone like Doctor Light has made efforts to see such happen and the Autobots led by Optimus are content with seeing machines thrive peacefully with humans. It's a bit overwhelming for 9S, but he is happy to see how much of a difference the Pantheon offers when it comes to machines in comparison to where he came from.
  • While aliens were indeed responsible for the war against mankind and their eventual extinction, they ceased to remain on Earth, hence 9S never encountering them. Even then, his curiosity did get him interested in the House of Extraterrestrials and being surprised by how affiliated technology and advanced machinery were to lots of alien species. While some like Clank were welcome to accept 9S as a friend and help him in his efforts to settle down in the Pantheon as a new home, others like Doctor Nefarious were much less willing, feeling annoyed that an android would dare to fight in the name of “squishes”, a term that 9S admittedly found pretty amusing, even if Nefarious proved a dangerous enemy who would be willing to look into YoRHa to further his tech. The same also applies to the Coluan invader, Brainiac, whose desire for knowledge and power leads to him invading and often destroying worlds for the sake of his collection. He has some interest in the YoRHa units for their unique physiology and mechanism, but 9S is justifiably mortified of Brainiac’s machinations and the lethality of his machines, even if the Coluan feels that 9S’s hacking capabilities are something he is keen to possess for his ends.
  • When it came to humankind in the Pantheon, 9S was a bit overwhelmed by how to interact with and further understand them as many were accepting of robots and androids as much as some opposed their existence. Beings such as the Iron Giant and a certain T-800 unit who went by “Uncle Bob” were among some cybernetic beings who were interested and eventually affected by their experience with humanity and 9S was very intrigued by this, unsurprisingly getting along with the two as they quickly accepted 9S as a friend and got him involved with events that the YoRHa unit would remember, such as the Giant’s companion, Hogarth, being excited to to meet an android and challenge 9S’s understanding of humans and Bob’s newfound existentialism and talking about fate and choice, beliefs that 9S found difficult to fully comprehend, but left him inspired enough. Among humans, Victor Stone also caught interest as a human who was converted into a cyborg after a horrible freak accident and his current state is the result of an infusion with a highly advanced box not unlike those installed within YoRHa units. Despite 9S’s existential crisis about the origins of his creation, Victor affirmed that this shouldn't define him as a person and that he should just focus on what he wants to do in the Pantheon as well as empathizing with the feeling of loss, stating he's been there as well. And while Victor did feel that 9S’s hacking abilities were dangerous, he felt that empathy was the best way to handle him, which worked as the YoRHa unit confided in Victor being a “good man” in his own words and the two would hang out if they ever have the time to do so.
  • 9S’s hacking abilities are among the most potent and devastating in the Pantheon as they allow him to break access into most forms of technology, inanimate or sentient, and force it into performing actions based on his decisions, being it operating as a hacked unit, detonating it, or leaking out intel and archives for himself. His abilities didn't go unnoticed by fellow hackers like Futaba Sakura and Hackerman, who quickly saw that 9S only uses hacking skills if he had to and accepted him as a fellow hacker to hang around with. Elliot Alderson was more reserved due to his turmoil in trusting others, not helped by his split personality in Mr. Robot being outright antagonistic towards anyone who didn't subscribe to his anarchist beliefs and goals, though fortunately Elliot and Mr. Robot have mellowed out and they've come to some form of understanding with 9S as both are mentally broken and grieving figures who use their hacking skills to solve their problems, only with Elliot, he found a greater purpose in trying to take down a malevolent organization controlling the world. 9S admitted to being inspired by Elliot's tale, however grim and tragic it was, and feels that he could find a bigger purpose for himself and his abilities. And though Elliot still retains his reclusiveness, he has some respect for 9S and honestly sees him as a friend.
  • A very inquisitive and curious individual, 9S is the most adventurous if the ascended YoRHa units and naturally enjoys attending the House of Knowledge as that meant he could take his time in learning about all sorts of facts, archives, and information that he didn't know about in the past. With libraries being an open public space was an exciting prospect for 9S, though he also felt that scouting and exploring to collect data and info felt more in line for him as he does take some pride in his activity and whatever he accomplishes. While deified organizations dedicated to archiving and storing information are a rarity, 9S and the YoRHa units were topics of interest in the eyes of the SCP Foundation, who saw their physiology and capability for mental growth as intriguing anomalies that they’d like to keep on tabs with. Though the Foundation have cited the YoRHa units as human defenders given their built-in purpose, their unscrupulous methods to storing information and keeping their subjects held are hard to ignored, hence 9S’s decision to try to keep as minimal contact with them as possible.
  • 9S may not be the only android who went through grief or insanity, though he does remain one who remained pitiable for it due to the hellish circumstances that drove him to such rage and anguish. And despite the heavy association with anger and grief, 9S would rather not be reminded of it, especially how his encounter with Weil showed him how destructive said anger could be if it was fuelled by nothing but spite and hatred. As a result, he has no interest in visiting the House of Revenge and Retribution, even if he admitted to finding a few figures whom he could relate with and understand the feeling of losing someone they held a close affection with. And with him and 2B being reunited, A2 seeking a greater purpose for herself, and Pods 042 and 153 desiring a better outcome for all of them, 9S would wisen up and decide that revenge is best left unserved, though he internally does feel that he has an internal drive for hate and rage that he feels would never really go away and that the best way to deal with it would be to temper and restrain it as much as he can. On a brighter note, 9S’s further encounters with A2 have been more amicable, even if the former has trouble talking to her due to the history the two have in their home realm, though the latter will assert that despite their troubles, 9S still has a chance to appreciate life and Earth and should aim for that.
  • Since his ascension, 9S admits to being afraid of relapsing back into his frenzied and anguished state and also feels that he may never be completely free of being susceptible to it, though many of his newfound friends in the Pantheon, as well as 2B, are doing their best to make sure 9S doesn't fall back to it and to assure him that he doesn't have to be defined by his past. Through 9S’s personal experience in the Pantheon, the House of Madness and Insanity does intimidate him due to the whole place and its inhabitants giving him an unpleasant reminder of his moments after 2B’s death, but he does sympathize and pity those who have been through a similar predicament as he did. Even so, he didn't expect to have a strong similarity with Count Bleck, of all people, who was driven to destruction after believing he lost his lover. On Beck’s end, he found 9S to be strangely reminiscent of his past self, only without anyone to truly reign him from his self-destructive tendencies and the full context of YoRHa’s existence worsening that. Thankfully, while the two don't meet often, 9S and Bleck have some positive acknowledgment for each other and they agree on trying to find a way to recover from their past selves if possible, though Bleck isn't above teasing 9S for his obvious affection towards 2B as much as he tries to dodge the subject.
    • One of the most tragic aspects of 9S is that no matter what he does or goes through, 2B is ordered to kill him to bar him from learning about humanity’s fate. Ironically, 2B’s death would allow 9S to learn more about humanity’s extinction as well as the origin of YoRHa and the machine lifeforms, which only furthered his insanity. Even after ascending into the Pantheon and being given a second chance, 9S admits to still being rattled by what he had to learn from the archives and documents he collected and read. While most of the Pantheon is open to allowing information to be available for others, Big Brother proved to be a grave exception and an antithesis to 9S’s curiosity as the government not only wants to lock away information but also twist them and whatever narrative it has its hands on for better brainwashing and controlling its populace and asserting it's dystopic dominance. Ironically, it's Big Brother who fears and disdains 9S more due to his hacking abilities and for proving himself resilient and determined and the dystopian government seeks to one day quash the YoRHa android to preserve itself, whereas while 9S does oppose Big Brother, it was for the best that he focuses on taking care of himself, though he has no problems fighting Big Brother if he has to.
      • If there was a figure outside of Weil that intimidates 9S for being eerily reminiscent, that would be Yan Vismok, a Messenger serving a syndicate known as the Index who initially served his Prescripts diligently, until he became jaded by most of the Prescripts being horrible actions and tried to rebel, only to realize that said rebellion wasn't only predicted, but that the Prescripts themselves were influenced by human sins and criminal acts, something that drove Van insane and morphing him into a robotic monstrosity called 얀샋ㄷ요무 and following the Prescripts without fail, coming to terms with the futility of his actions. Needless to say, 9S was rattled about his similarities and learning how the Index Proselytes were much like YoRHa units — fodders and victims to a bigger conspiracy and being fed lies to keep them complacent, himself included. 9S pities Yan, though keeps his distance because of a combination of him being a powerful foe and for reminding the android a bit much about his own darkest days.
  • He also has a place in the Hall of Technological Occupations
2B and I — our battle will continue for some time to come. But that's another story for another day.

  • Enemies: LAVOS
  • Crono, Lucca Ashtear, Marle/Princess Nadia, Frog, Magus, Ayla and Robo. This Ragtag Band of Misfits went on an adventure through time to change a Bad Future caused by Lavos in order to stop The End of the World as We Know It.
  • Each member of the party had been ascended for quite some time now under different tropes. However, to lessen the chance of them being split apart, Lucca decided that they could share a trope with each other in hopes of better combatting Lavos. The trope happened to be New Game Plus and the Court of the Gods approved of her idea.
  • Are among the deities asked by the GUAG to help combat Queen Nehelenia and her forces. Frog in particular dislikes her for her Curses, which has a variation that can turn people into animals much like Magus did to him. However, they are smart enough to plan ahead in advance as they know she can use a type of Curse that can kill them with ease, and they heard of how she used them to great effectiveness against the GUAL while condemned to a Fate Worse than Death by YHVH himself, so they have plenty of reason to be careful regarding the Queen of the Dead Moon and her forces. The Sailor Senshi and Tuxedo Mask have been informing them of what she and the forces of the Dead Moon Circus are capable of, especially since on one occasion where Zirconia had successfully found another way to get Nehelenia out of her prison in a mirror universe, Crono’s Party fought her, but she cursed Ayla so that she couldn’t attack, coldly killed Robo with dark magic (He got better), threw him into a mirror and reflected everyone else’s magic back at them until they were completely defeated. That being said, the Sailor Senshi and Tuxedo Mask have asked for their help in freeing the Sailor Quartet from her control and all of them except for Magus are willing to help in that regard.
  • They tend to stick around other RPG Protagonists like The Chosen Four, Lucas, The Epic Battle Fantasy Team and The Heroes of the World of Balance, among others. It is from the latter that they learned of Kefka Palazzo and his madness which irreparably damaged their world and they have been begun opposing him. They also learned of Porky Minch, The Pigmasks, The Chimeras, The Starmen and Giygas from Lucas and The Chosen Four. Unsurprisingly, all of them but Magus were appalled by the actions of Porky and his Pigmasks and Chimeras, but see Giygas’ Starmen as the bigger threat at the moment due to their sheer numbers as well as heralds. Unfortunately, they have been working on creating Magic Shields similar to PSI Shields that prevent and reflect magical attacks sent their way, much to the Party’s Chagrin, though Ayla didn’t care due to being a Magically Inept Fighter. However, they are all in agreement that they should try to avoid The Ultimate Chimera.
  • Zamasu was furious upon learning of yet more mortal time travellers and has sworn to kill them. None of them are fond of the Fallen Kai themselves, with each of the party members being quite understandably pissed that he not only caused a Bad Future, but also succeeded in bringing about the destruction of that entire timeline. Their opinions on Dr. Gero aren’t any better considering what the alternate versions of Androids 17 and 18 did, as well as Cell who killed a version of Trunks and stole his time machine in order to come to the past and cause chaos.
  • Applies to Crono:
    • In the year 1000 AD, Crono woke up to a regular, sunny morning with no other ambition than to enjoy his town's Millennial Fair. However, that changed when his childhood friend Lucca's telepod malfunctioned and caused the disappearance of Marle, a mysterious girl Crono had just met at the fair. Crono was determined to bring her back and followed, and from there Crono and his friends learned of a plot to summon an alien parasite called Lavos that would destroy their world, leading to a time travelling adventure spanning millions of years in order to stop Lavos and change the future.
    • It should go without saying that due to the major role time travel played in his epic journey, Crono has more than a few friends deeply associated with that way of travel. He is much praised by the Doctor for using time travel to save the world and generally do good.
      • Crono has formed close ties to the Pantheonic Time Police, not just to keep Lavos in check, but to stop anyone from trying to commit evil using time travel and hopefully avoid a bad future in the process. He's particularly close to Trunks as he fought to avoid not one, but two Bad Futures and the two often train their swordplay together. Trunks' Pokemon Dialga has also expressed interest in Crono, so Trunks has allowed it to sometimes accompany Crono on adventures.
      • From his time spent hanging out with Trunks, Crono met his Alternate Self. The younger Trunks became immediately attached to Crono since he reminds him of his Cool Big Bro Tapion, both for his story of time travel and looks. Crono is happy to serve as a role model for the young Trunks. By the way, despite an uncanny similarity, Crono is not related to Trunks, or Goku or any of their friends, nor is he a Saiyan at all, even though his hair color makes him look like he's a Super Saiyan God.
      • Other heroic time travellers Crono made friends with include Silver the Hedgehog, Lucina and Link, who all relate to Crono's quest to avoid a Bad Future.
    • Conversely, Crono has made plenty of enemies who wish to manipulate time for their evil purposes, or who chastise him for daring to change his world's fate at all.
      • For the former case, there is Reverse Flash, whose machinations to ruin the Flash's life out of pettiness are abhorrent to Crono. Randall Ross is just unbelievable, wanting to destroy all of time (and therefore the world) through the Timenado just because he lost a volleyball game. To say nothing of Master Xehanort pulling various incarnations of himself from the timestream. At least Crono has an elemental advantage over that last one due to his magical element being light, which makes him good fighting partners with Sora, incidentally.
      • An example of the latter case is the Dahaka, who's furious with what Crono has done and wants to undo it, even if it involves the destruction of Crono's world. Of course, Crono isn't about to let the Dahaka steal his and his friends' futures away from them after they went through so much to secure them. Good thing the Dahaka is weak to water; Crono and Frog just spam Sword Stream whenever they face it, which fends it off for a while.
      • Crono's less sure what to think of Homura and Nox, recognizing that they have relatable and sympathetic motivations to do what they did. He can't forgive Homura for not being content with the kinder world that Madoka created and trying to undo it, or Nox for generally doing awful things. But he thinks they might be redeemable.
  • Applies to Lucca Ashtear:
    • Lucca is a genius girl from the year 1000 AD with a deep interest in science and technology, as well as Crono's childhood friend. During the millennium celebrations, Lucca was eager to show Crono the teleporter she and her father had been working on. However the machine activated a time portal that sucked in Crono's new friend Marle. Lucca invented the Gate Key, which stabilizes the time portals to allow for safe time travel. This allowed Crono and Lucca to bring Marle back to their time, and also led to them discovering the grisly fate that would befall Earth 1000 years later. The friends then went on a quest through time to stop the alien abomination Lavos from destroying their planet.
    • Opposes a good portion of Mad Scientists such as Dr. Wily, Dr. Weil, Professor Hojo and Souichi Tomoe of the Death Busters. Of the worst, she finds the latter three far more despicable than Wily. So much so to the point where she will pull an Enemy Mine with him against them.
  • Applies to Marle/Princess Nadia:
    • Marle was a mysterious girl Crono ran into at the Millennial Fair. Although reticent about revealing her identity, she had fun with Crono as he showed her the fair. When they were trying out Lucca's newest invention, Marle's pendant reacted strangely and caused her to disappear. She was transported 400 years into the past, where she was confused for the young Queen Leene. For Marle is actually Nadia, the princess of Guardia, and a descendant of Leene. Marle nearly caused her own disappearance by taking the place of her ancestor, but Crono, Lucca and Frog saved her (and the real Queen Leene). Some time later, she'd travel into the far future with Crono, and saw a destroyed world that she became determined to avert.
    • After nearly making herself disappear by causing her ancestor Queen Leene to be killed by fiends (unintentionally and undone by the end), she found someone who could relate to such a strange doom in Marty McFly, who also nearly wiped himself from existence by causing his mom in the past to fall for him instead of his father.
    • She relates very much to Ariel and Merida's stories, as they were all rebellious princesses who butted heads against their parents regarding what they wanted to do with their lives. In particular, Marle and Ariel both have dead mothers, which caused their fathers to become a bit overprotective, and they dreamed of seeing the world outside their respective confines, but said fathers wouldn't let them. Regarding Merida, Marle thinks it's cool how she's a skilled archer, and they sometimes have friendly archery competitions as Marle wields a crossbow.
    • Also made friends with Jasmine due to her also having problems with being an overly sheltered princess, although her father was less strict. Marle thinks her history with Aladdin is incredibly romantic, and hearing of all the sights he showed her as he was courting her, Marle was reminded of how Crono was with her all the time in the Millennial Fair, showing her the sights. She's also glad that Jasmine managed to get married to Aladdin even though he's not royalty, much like her marriage to Crono (who was much better off than Aladdin but still a commoner).
    • Along with the rest of her teammates, she works closely with the Pantheonic Time Police to stop Lavos and other evil entities that threaten to change the future for the worse. She got particularly close to Trunks given how he also attempted to fix the future by going into the past, and some other reasons. Trunks has noted that she resembles his mother Bulma in her younger days, both in appearance and in how they're both on the stubborn, hotheaded side, and Bulma once even wore a similar outfit to Marle's. On the other hand, Bulma's intelligence and handiness with gadgetry is kind of lost on Marle, though she's sure she'll love Lucca.
  • Applies to Frog:
    • Frog was once a warrior who was named Glenn. However, his life would soon take a turn for the worse when his friend Cyrus was struck down by Magus, who also cursed Glenn into becoming a Frog. With a hatred for Magus, Frog dedicated himself to finding and killing Magus to avenge his fallen friend. In one ending he doesn’t kill him, however.
    • He does like Sayaka Miki and prefers to work with her against the common foe above other Puella Magi. He really doesn’t like it when villains curse others to transform into animals, and pities those who have lost loved ones to foes. He gets along with Ryuko Matoi because of this, and despises Ragyo Kiryuin and Nui Harime just like her. To his surprise, Magus also shares his hatred for them.
  • Applies to Magus:
    • Magus...has had a terrible life to say the least. Once the child prince known as Janus, his life fell apart when Lavos appeared in the Kingdom of Zeal where he lived, causing the disappearance of his sister Schala and the destruction of his home, denying him of experiencing the rest of any possible childhood he could have had, with all of this topped off with his mother having absolutely lost it before this happened and these problems having partially been her fault. Pissed off, he vowed to eventually finish Lavos off one day. Unfortunately, he uses very immoral means to pull this off and ends up either joining Crono’s party or being killed. In the latter scenario, he is responsible for telling the team about a way for Crono to be revived just before his death. In the end, they succeed at finally defeating Lavos, though it comes back as the Time Devourer.
    • He was annoyed to find that Lavos is alive in the Pantheon, and has plans to kill him. Magus has met another version of himself from another timeline, who witnessed Schala assimilate with Lavos to become the Time Devourer, and thinks that killing Lavos may be the answer.
    • With his single-minded determination to stop Lavos, Magus has paid no attention to the fact that his old foe, Frog, has ascended (though Frog was the one who hated Magus, Magus himself never cared). Magus is similarly apathetic regarding the other people who took part in the fight against Lavos, but is willing to join them when it regards keeping that beast in check. Serge, who also fought Lavos, instantly got his support. Helps one of Serge's companions, the wizard Guile, might have been Magus.
    • Aang was actually impressed by Magus's ability to wield multiple elements at once much in the same way he can, though lightning and fire are the same in his world, and darkness isn't one of the elements. Magus has little interest in Aang's duties, but tells him that eliminating Lavos will help bring balance, and will be ready to help him should the two come to blows.
  • Applies to Ayla:
    • A cavewoman from the far past of 65,000,000 B.C. As a leader of the early humans, she was a key figure in the struggle for supremacy against the Reptites. She was the one who gave Lavos its name and upon meeting some of Crono’s Party, decided to join their time traveling journey to aid in destroying the Planetary Parasite.
    • As she fought against the Reptiles, she is naturally opposed to any evil ones in the Pantheon. She has made it a point to try to help keep Toffee from corrupting the magic most of her friends hold, and will do anything in her power to help the Kongs defeat King K. Rool here in the Pantheon.
  • Applies to Robo:
    • Robo is a robot built hundreds of years after Crono, Lucca and Marle's time. Originally called R-66Y or Prometheus, his purpose was to help the humans living at the Proto Dome. When Lavos ravaged the world in 1999, R-66Y went dormant and was only re-activated in 2300 when Crono, Marle and Lucca ran into him and fixed him. Lucca made sure to program him to be friendly and he was renamed Robo. During Robo's inactivity, his brethren had been re-programmed by the central computer Mother Brain to kill humans on sight, Since Robo did not accept this, he was shunned by them, so he joined Crono's team in their journey to stop Lavos.
    • Robo belongs to a series of robots designed to help humanity in various tasks. After Lavos ravaged the planet, Mother Brain reprogrammed all the robots into human killers, however Robo escaped this fate and stuck to his original programming, eventually developing true empathy for humans and self-identity in the course of his adventures with Crono and his Party.
    • Being a robot, he is highly criticized by the GUAM as caring more about a bunch of meatbags who'd happily exploit him until he rusted than his machine brethren. Robo's confidence in his True Companions and respect for the rest of humanity are unshakable, however, and he cares nothing for what the GUAM thinks and wants no part in their plans to overtake humanity, which he believes would lead to a barren and depressing future like when he originally came from. Of the GUAM members, Robo's most personal beef is by far with SKYNET and AM because of just how similar they are to Mother Brain, being computers who, despite being built by humans to help them, turned against them and waged war on them with their extinction in mind. Robo is aghast at the computers' complete lack of regard for the life of those who created them, and horrified by AM's sadistic treatment of the five survivors, something Mother Brain, for all her faults, can't be accused of. Among many deities, Robo is one of those with the strongest desire to release the five survivors from their torment.
    • His deed of planting a whole, lush forest in what was originally a desert, for which he had to toil for 400 years straight, makes him very well-liked by many deities in the House of Plants. Robo rather took a liking to the activity and sometimes heads to the House to help maintain the greenery in it or spread more across areas of the Pantheon that could use some. He counts on the help of his followers, the Steam Gardeners, to provide additional support in this regard. In this way he's become quite good friends with Mary Lennox, especially upon hearing that Mary also had a hand in restoring a garden that brought hope to her family, much like how the forest Robo planted became a symbol of hope for a better future.
    • The Pantheon has given Robo the chance to meet many other robots who have similar mindsets to his (sadly a scarce thing in his world, at least in the original timeline). Due to loving to hang out at natural environments, it wasn't long before he met other robots fond of nature like Bastion, WALL-E and EVE. Robo related to WALL-E in particular since the little trash-collecting bot also comes from a desolate and ruined future, but managed to make a difference by discovering a plant and working together with humans. Robo's first meeting with Bastion didn't go over too well as Bastion went berserk on him for a bit, but Robo managed to defend himself long enough for Ganymede to calm him down, at which Robo reacted with fascination and compared the little bird to Lucca. Other than that, Bastion isn't the most talkative of robots, but he doesn't mind when Robo tags along once in a while, and Robo couldn't help but think of the other robots in his series controlled by Mother Brain after hearing of Bastion's backstory; it could be said Robo has a kind of brotherly concern for him.
      • In due time Robo also met Bastion's allies Zenyatta and Orisa. Zenyatta concerns himself greatly with the establishment of good relationships between Omnics and humans and thinks Robo's conduct is exemplary in this regard. Robo in turn has taken to discussing his contemplations on the possible existence of an Entity in his world guiding him and his friends with Zenyatta. As for Orisa, Robo sees her as a kindred spirit since she's programmed to help people out and has a young lady programmer/engineer to whom she owes much of her current existence.
      • Robo also struck up a friendship with Baymax over their mutual desire to help people. Robo was interested upon hearing that Baymax had once refused to allow Hiro to reprogram him to remove his healthcare protocols (something Hiro had done rashly in anger, and soon after apologized for). Remembering what Mother Brain had done to Atropos and the other R-series robots, Robo inquired if Baymax and Hiro could assist Lucca in modifying himself to prevent him from ever being reprogrammed against his will. For his part, Baymax is fascinated by Robo's "Cure Beam" ability, a laser that can heal injuries instantly. Baymax believes this would revolutionize healthcare and has requested Robo's permission for Hiro to study the technology to see if it can be replicated.

  • There were stories of a fabled group of four soldiers who were involved in a series of events that caused a Zombie Apocalypse. Their adventures around the world while trying to fend off the endless horde of zombies that came after them managed to capture the attention of the pantheon. Eventually one day, a loud sound was heard, something akin to a teleporter, and then they arrived. Tank Dempsey, Nikolai Belinski, Takeo Masaki and Edward Richtofen had arrived in the pantheon.
    • For once, they were glad that they didn't have to turn the power on, and apparently they weren't the only Humans around this time. Eventually they settled to rest after a long day fighting undead.
  • Unfortunately, not long after their ascension, a horde of zombies appeared to attack them and everyone in the Pantheon. Instead of being worried about the sudden arrival of 115 infected, they just were annoyed that they had to fight off those same creatures again.
    • They later discovered that Samantha was indeed behind the attack, devastating a great part of the Pantheon. While they managed to stop her, Samantha being ascended as a result has not been good news for the Crew (Especially for Richtofen
  • At the begining, many people were perplexed that they seemed to have trouble doing a veriety of things that normal people can, like being unable to open doors or not being able to get out of their temple. The reason was that they still were "binded" by their world's rules, and they didn't have points to spend opening the doors. Thankfully the Court of Gods stepped in and fixed their situation so they are now free to roam free as they please.
  • They are known as one of the most Dysfuctional groups of the entire pantheon and nobody seems to know why. Dempsey and Richtofen hates each other and both Nikolai and Takeo don't get along rather well either. However, when it comes to teamwork, they are always working together to survive, even though they will be bickering all the way until they either die or go somewhere else.
    • Altough, there is one thing that Dempsey, Takeo and Nikolai agree, is that they don't like being around Richtofen and usually try to not be associated with him. There is a far more complicated reason as why they still stick together and that's because they are all captured soldiers who Richtofen brainwashed and used to escape the initial outbreak back in Der Riese.
    • To complicate things further, there is actually an alternate timeline when a much younger versions of themeselves met during World War I in a secret camp located in France. This group is much more saner than their other selves and they have been travelling in time to stop the original plan of Richtofen. Of course, the other Richtofen does remember everything that happened but has been quiet for the moment.
  • The nature of the world they come from means that every time they "die" they have to start all over again or until they are teleported to another location. That's the reason they seem to get along with people like Kyon or Phil Connors.
    • Only Richtofen seems to remember all of the adventures they had together given his experience with the aether. There are a lot of things the German knows but refrains from telling anybody.
  • The crew seemingly gets along with fellow deities who also participated in WW2. Dempsey got himself friends like Rick Blaine and Charlotte A. Yeager while Takeo also allied himself with most of the Japanese shipgirls. Richtofen wasn't as lucky, as almost everyone remotely decent from Germany hates his guts for his horrible actions. Nikolai really doesn't care about anyone and most Russians, particularly women, don't like him either.
  • Ironically, the crew gets along rather well with the South Park kids, particularly because they also once run into Nazi Zombies. Hilariously enough, they also have a friend/teammate that they don't really like that much but they keep them around anyway. Cartman and Richtofen for their part get along swimmingly well and The Doctor is considering on making Cartman his Right hand.
  • Even though their relationship can get a little complicated at times, they did once got together to sing a couple very special christmas songs which take a lot of people by surprise
  • Exclusive to Dempsey:
    • Having fought in the pacific side of World War II, Dempsey knows how hellish war can be. He was captured for 2 weeks by the japanese and seemingly escaped by armed only with a Bobby pin and his Medal of Honor which he keepeed secreted in...various body cavities that he doesn't want to talk about. He later was sent to germany to rescue an spy that infiltrated Group 935 facilities, only to be set up and being swarmed by infected soldiers. He was the only survivor of his platoon of the incident known as "Verrückt". It's no surprise that he doesn't like Insane Asylums but he doesn't quite remember why
    • He has an immense respect for Steve Rogers thanks for being an important figure during WW2. Steve on his part is glad to finally find someone from his time and they both closer after learning that Dempsey is also a super soldier experiment just like him
    • Another soldier he managed to befriend was Captain Martin Walker, but at the beggining he had his doubts about him. Understandably, having heard of what Walker did back on Dubai didn't sit well on him; and the fact that he sounded just like Richtofen didn't help at all. However, he did warm up to Walker after a while.
    • He seems to get along with Wolverine for being a fellow WW2 veteran like him. He even is weirded out that he sometimes sounds so similar to him.
    • He is noted as being one of the soldiers with the most years in service for the U.S. military ever since WW1. He also gets along with fellow americans like Guile and Liberty Prime. Though he is wary of the latter since he hasn't had a pretty experience with Giant Robots.
  • Exclusive to Nikolai:
    • Nikolai was a distinguished soldier during WW2. He was feared among his peers for his ruthlessness and even Stalin himself was wary of him. He was eventually captured by group 935, where he became one of three secret test subjects for experimentation with element 115. This experience made him addicted to Vodka and he is always looking to satiate his thirst for alcohol.
    • He has an history of marrying many woman and eventually murdering them. This made him the entire Houses of Family and Relatives and Love and Affection to oppose him for such brutal treatment of his family. Nikolai himself doesn't care and keeps searching for a good place to drink a very good bottle of Vodka.
    • He befriended Soda Popinski for being comrade who enjoys drinking just like him. At first he didn't quite understand why he was drinking that stupid soda pop instead of some good vodka but he eventually tried it out and was as addicted as the boxer is.
    Nikolai: "Guh, I feel muscle-ly all over. Almost as good as vodka!"
    • Really hates monkeys and every time he spot one he open fires without hesitation. Granted, he hasn't had a good experience with Monkeys either and he keep complaining that those damn primates keep stealing his Vodka.
    • As revealed by Chromie, bringing up his first and only wife, even if it's to comfort him, will have him drop all pretense of being drunk, shoot that he turned to drinking especially to try to forget her, and try to kill you. As such, despite it's members pitying him and wanting to help him, he stays as far away from the House of Love as he can.
  • Exclusive to Takeo:
    • Takeo Masaki was born into wealth; his family dynasty dates back several centuries, and throughout that time they have been highly decorated Samurai and Bushido. He was an important captain during WW2 who was also a fierce fighter but honorable at the same time. Like other two before him, he was also captured by group 935 for testing element 115 but unlike the other two, he has fully recovered his brainwashment and is trying to get back at richtofen. For now, takeo decided to keep a straight face before striking his plan.
    • He came to respect master Yoda, as their Jedi culture and especially their honor, has caught his attention. He is particularly curious that Yoda also sounds suspiciously like him.
    • Takeo has always believed that honor is the most important aspect of life, that's why he despises Shiro Tagachi for murdering his version of the emperor. It doesn't help that Cantha, the region where Shiro hails from, greatly resembles japanese sociaety and the stunt that the assassin pulled is not that far of what Richtofen has done to him.
    • He can be often found visiting the sun goddess Ammaterasu and he greatly respects her given that he comes from a dynasty close to the imperial family. However, the sun goddess was extremely unnerved about Takeo's fanatism, particularly because he once off-handedly mention that he slaughtered his family for his insolence.
    • He had been extremly pensive as of late. Investigations made by Chromie revealed that in an alternate timeline, he had been betrayed by his Emperor and given to Division 9 to perform horrible experiments on. Needless to say, this has calmed his fanaticisim somewhat. He also willing commited sepuku, letting his alternate self claim his soul to purge the worlds from evil.
  • Exclusive to Richtofen:
    • Dr. Edward Richtofen was a nazi scientist that was heavily involved in the studies of element 115 and was a long time collaborator with fellow scientist and mentor Dr. Ludvig Maxis. While testing the capacities of the newly created teleporters, Richtofen decided to use himself as a test subject. What followed was the german doctor being transported to a secret facility in the moon where he made contact with a mysterius pyramid device, only to go insane after touching it. Safe to say, the doctor hasn't been himself after that wonderful experience.
      • That's why he has some Sympathy for the Ice King, since he also went insane after making contact with his Crown. This is one of the few times where Richtofen was merciful to someone. (And don't expect that kindness too often)
    • Every single survivor of a Zombie Apocalypse fiercely despises Richtofen for not only being one of the original causes of the outbreak in the first place, but because his general overview of life makes it really difficult for others to even have a simple talk. It doesn't help that Richtofen himself is a murderous Psychopath that enjoys mutilating his foes in a really sadistic way.
    • Meeting Albert Wesker was a really delightful experience for the doctor as he is one of the few people that shares similar views like him. Wesker is really interested on how to use the Element 115 to further his goals and also is a little jealous that Richtofen also managed to achieve control of the Zombies at one point. This didn't go unnoticed by anyone, and the GUAG has kept an eye on both Wesker and the Doctor in case they decide to work together on god knows what.
      • He also gets along with another well-known maniac, Flowey. The Flower was curious about how Richtofen was able to fool his comrades and succeed in becoming a god yet was defeated anyway. Many dread what would happen if the German decides to mess around with Flowey's power to further his agenda
    • Doctor Richtofen has a collection of stuffed animals with particular strange expressions. It was later revealed that these animals were alvie before Richtofen brutally murdered them and they remained with that pained expression ever since their death. This in turn made Richtofen enemies with the entire House of Beasts and Fauna
    • He mysteriously gets along with Jah'rakal the Troll Warlord, who is known to be one of the most unpleasant individuals in the entire pantheon. What makes this friendship so scarily worrying, is that they seem to sound really similar which hasn't gone unnoticed by anyone.
      • Deadpool has also occasionally mocked the Doctor by mimicking his voice. Richtofen really doesn't care and instead become very interested in Wilson's...Body.
    • There has been comparisons between The Medic and Richtofen, but the latter insist that he at least cares for his comrades unlike Richtofen. The Two have developed a fierce rivalry ever since.
    • After Samantha's ascension, Richtofen plans to take control of the Aether once more by usurping Samantha. However, he is under heavy watch by most gods, since he can trigger a disaster of giant proportions if he succeeds. This won't discourage the doctor for trying, but he is biding his time for now.
    • Was extremely pissed that his younger self killed him in another timeline and especially by the fact that he was genuinely heppy to be able to talk to himself. Also, he hates having died so suddenly.

  • Alignment: True Neutral with Good leanings
  • Portfolio: Acrofatic, Recurring Extra, Kindhearted Simpleton, Beware the Nice Ones, Gentle Giant, Stout Strength, Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass, Furry Ear Dissonance
  • Domains: Cats, Fishing, Relaxation
  • Herald: Froggy
  • Allies:
  • Friendly Rivals: Villager, Link
  • Enemies: Metal Sonic, Bruce the Shark, Leviathan the Tidehunter, Monstro
  • Odd Friendship: Murky
  • Opposes: Dr. Eggman, Plesioth
  • Sitcom Arch-Nemesis with: Cirno
  • Big the Cat is exactly what his name would suggest: a cat that is bigger than an ordinary cat. Notably, unlike Sonic and his speedy entourage, Big is a bit more mellow in the things that he does. Living with his pet Froggy, Big often spends his time fishing, though the cat will spring into serious action should the frog get involved with any sort of danger.
  • No one is certain if the cat has fished for any catfish yet. That said, he is quite interested in different varieties of fish, both ones he has fished and hasn't fished yet. There is a possibility that the cat fished for catfish before and is doing so now, but the only way it will be true is if others see the cat fish a catfish out of the water.
  • Given how much he cares about Froggy, Big was surprised when he met a number of other frogs such as Greninja and Slippy Toad. Naturally, he got along with these frogs and that also allowed him to make friends with fellow frog-lovers Asuka and Suwaka Moriya.
    • He was rather dismayed to learn that there were a few deities that have a significant dislike of frogs. Big would sometimes encounter the frog-eating Plesioth every so often during his fishing endeavors and would get into conflict with it should the creature attempt to devour Froggy. Cirno didn't take the news that someone who likes frogs and has one well and has tried to figure out a way to get Froggy out of the sight of both her and Big, much to the cat's consternation.
  • As one can probably guess given his interest in fishing, fish happens to be Big's favorite food. There's a good chance that he'll be in the House of Food eating Murky's pufferfish tacos. Big does find it odd that Murky swings a fish around in combat, but in any case Big and the Murloc do get along reasonably well. Big was a bit surprised when he heard that Murky came from what is essentially a race of frog people.
  • Big decided to go see if there were any other fishermen within the Pantheon. The most that he could find were Villager and Link. Although the two don't fish as often as Big does, they're willing to engage in a bit of friendly competition with the cat in their free time.
    • There was a point in time where Big asked Yu Narukami to take part in fishing with him. Yu declined the offer, citing that not only was it not that much of a major thing he did, but that he had a number of other commitments to take care of. Nevertheless, Yu does have a bit of respect for Big due to the latter willing to help his friends if they're in danger.
  • The cat once decided to take part in a race, riding a bike that was much smaller than himself. During this race, a larger version of Froggy would occasionally appear to help Big if the need arose. Big didn't participate in the follow-up race, instead opting to go back to fishing.
  • He decided to go and see if there were any other cats that were like him, just out of curiosity. To his disappointment, he wasn't able to find other cats who shared his interest in fishing. Despite that, he does get along with Uni-Kitty and Tigger since they are carefree like him (though they're also far more energetic than Big is).
  • Even though Big's fishing has been relaxing most of the time, there have been a few instances where that wasn't the case. Some of the more aggressive aquatic animals such as Bruce the Shark and Monstro have chased Big out of their respective areas a few times.
  • Inexplicably, Big decided to try and make a fishing game with Froggy's help. Progress (if it actually can be used as a word in this instance) has been incredibly slow and most are willing to assume that Big could use more help in that project. Amusingly enough, the House of Gaming has no issue with delaying that game multiple times as soon as the multiple "deadlines" are near. ProtonJon loves to imitate Big and his adventures, particularly in promoting "books" of his.
  • A common joke about Big is that if he sounded less dopey, he would sound like Duke Nukem. Duke doesn't find it funny to say the least and is very much annoyed at the cat's presence. Big seems unaware of this issue.
    • This would later lead to some trouble for Big when he was fishing one time and got attacked by Tidehunter because the latter thought he heard Kunkka nearby. Even after he was told that Big wanted nothing to do with him, it didn't stop Tidehunter from being hostile towards Big.
    • An alternate version of the aforementioned joke would be to replace the words "Duke Nukem" with something like "Kamina" or "Ryu". Neither Kamina nor Ryu actually understand the joke that much. Of course, it flew over Big's head like the previous joke.
  • His fishing pole has not only been used for fishing, but it's also been used as a combat weapon a few times. Big has even used it to hit machinery to somehow make the machine in question work. No one really understands that last part at all.
  • For some odd reason, even if he isn't the most important character in Sonic's adventures, Big is often seen in the background fishing or looking for a spot to do such a thing. The cat's probably even less important around the Pantheon, but still shows up in the background, usually fishing or searching for a spot to fish; sometimes searching in spots where it wouldn't even make sense to fish. When asked as to how he even got there, his answer is somewhere on the lines of, "I wanted to go fishing here, so I'm here."

  • The Blood Team are a group of 15 Blood Maidens and 3 Blood Youths, mostly children or adolescents based on fairy tale characters and possessing strange powers revolving around their blood. Most of them were among the people trapped inside a living tower prison called the Jail, with Jack and Alice even being kept among the prisoners tortured by the Marchen (monstrous creatures formed from plants and animals mutated by the Jail) for the Jail's amusement and growth. Being approached and recruited by the Dawn Liberation Force (an organization founded to help humanity escape the Jail), the Blood Team slowly became a team throughout their adventure to help humanity escape the Jail, all the while investigating the mysteries behind the Dawn, the Jail, the Marchens, and the Nightmares (stronger monsters that serve as wardens of the Jail). Eventually, the team would discover that Professor Tohjima, the founder of the Dawn and Red Riding Hood's foster father, is actually Snark, an alien who not only masterminded the Jail's growth, but also killed and replaced the real Tohjima and manipulated every side so he can use the Jail to become a godlike figure. Snark would fuse with the Jail to become a powerful Nightmare, but the team are rescued by the Angelic reincarnation of a girl that served as Jack and Alice's fellow inmate Hikari, and are able to destroy the Nightmare, ending the Jail's. The Blood Team would also help a lonely Nightmare named Otsuu restore the deceased Blood Maiden Little Mermaid back to life, which also grants Otsuu and Little Mermaid the body and memories of themselves from an Alternate Timeline where the latter's averted death led to a Butterfly of Doom.
    • Following their victory over Snark and helping to save Otsuu and Little Mermaid, the Blood Team, the Dawn, and the survivors from underground would be taken to the surface by Hikari, only to be attacked by Massacre Pink, a quartet of girls who are Blood Maidens based off of execution methods. Hikari is able to save the majority of the survivors, but is attacked by an unseen assailant and is forced to scatter the Blood Team and their allies across different Jails on the surface. While exploring the jails, each group of Blood Maidens would reunite with their allies as well as make new friends, including new members of the teamnote , getting strong enough to fight off Massacre Pink before eventually confronting and defeating their master, Yuto Gato, atop of the Devouring Armada Tower. With the help of Toh's Heroic Sacrifice as well as Mary's match, Jack is able to wish on a Witchcraft Core to rid the world of the Jails, the Marchens, and the Nightmares, restoring Earth to its natural beauty and turning the members of the Blood Team into normal humans, allowing them and their allies to finally get to work on restoring civilization.
  • One day, the Blood Team were given an invitation to the Pantheon, who were impressed that their universe was able to take advantage of the Embedded Precursor Game to continue their story and earn a happy ending for Little Mermaid and Otsuu. The fact that the third game finishing their adventure also had their previous two adventures as visual novels ended up being a nice little bonus. The team accepted and were placed in the House of Game Design. Imagine the team's surprise when they find the only deceased member Toh in the Pantheon, who had explained that he was given an invitation to the Pantheon not long after reuninting with his wife, and after hearing that the rest of the Blood Team would join, agreed on the condition that his wife would be made his herald. The Blood Team soon found out to their horror though that their powers ended up returning, which also brings back the risk of Blood Maidens undergoing Blood Skelter and necisstating that the Blood Youths use their blood to purify them once again. Thankfully, the Houses of Science and Health and Diseases are able to offer their help in finding a more efficient method to stop Blood Skelter through research on their blood.
  • Most of the members of the team were quite surprised and thrilled to meet some of their namesakesnote . Many of them became friends with their namesakes.
    • Alice is shown to have tea parties with her namesake, even if Alice's imagination goes against her logical mind. Alice opposes the Queen of Hearts for her tyranny and childishness.
    • While not exactly her namesake, Red Riding Hood is shown to like Ruby Rose very much, with the two sparring with each other now and then. Red doesn't like B. B. Hood however, since she kills monsters out of hatred for them, and never once thinking they could actually be good people.
    • Snow White and Cinderella both hold a sisterly bond with their namesakes. Snow White is also shown to see Fables! Snow White as a role model. Snow White and Cinderella dislike Lady Tremaine and the Evil Queen for being horrible step-mothers towards them and vow to stand against them. Snow White in Particular hates the Magic Mirror, given her fear of mirrors, his creepy mask-like face just spooking her out further.
      • Snow White has met and become close friends with Weiss Schnee, with the latter hoping she can Snow White fully overcome her pessimism about her looks.
      • She also became friends with Koyuki Himekawa, and sympathized with her plight of seeing countless magical girls die and even killing some herself and becoming more jaded from those experiences.
      • Cinderella grows to detest Cinder Fall for her actions, calling her a disgrace to anyone being based on the Cinderella fairy tale. Cinder, on the other hand, couldn't even care less.
    • Sleeping Beauty is shown to like Princess Aurora very much. Sleepy is willing to protect her from Maleficent and prevent from making any attempts on Aurora's life. Flora, Fauna, and Merryweather quickly take on a motherly role for Sleepy just like they did for Aurora.
    • Rapunzel sees her namesake as a Cool Big Sis, even if the latter tends to be disturbed by her Troubling Unchildlike Behavior. Rapunzel promises to protect her from Mother Gothel if the latter tries to take her for her hair again.
    • Little Mermaid likes to meet with Ariel and hold singing duets with her, while talking about how they got to meet with the love of their lives. She dislikes Ursula for manipulating Ariel and conning her voice out of her.
    • Gretel and her namesake both love their brothers very much, however the Gretel from the original fairy tale finds her Blood Maiden counterpart disturbing. That said, she does find her less disturbing than the Vampire Twin. Gretel actually agrees with her, since despite being a Mad Scientist, she doesn't have an incestuous relationship with her brother nor does she kill without reason.
    • Unlike the other members, Kaguya and her namesake from Ghibli universe don' really hang out or relate to each, since the latter is more of an active girl who loves the outdoors while the former is lazy and prefers to stay in her room, though there certainly any hostilities between them. That being said she does get an enemy in Kaguya Otsutsuki, seeing her as a disgrace for a princess for misusing her power and being obsessed with keeping it. Kaguya did meet and befriend Kaguya Houraisan, who does share an origin with their namesake.
    • Thumbelina met her namesake and grew to sympathize with her for being a source of unwanted attention. Blood Maiden!Thumbelina makes it clear if any of those consorts went after her or her sisters, she would show them no mercy.
    • Despite not exactly being the most social person, Mary came to sympathize with the girl that inspired her Fairy Tale. Seeing how she lived under an abusive household and spend her last moments in the snow viewing visions of a better life with her matches led Mary to actually show kindness towards the girl and she shows a willingness to be friends with her.
    • Because she ascended before her fairy tale counterpart did, Hameln immediately rushed over to meet the Pied Piper upon hearing of his ascension. She then became one of the Pied Piper's only friends in the Pantheon, as he tolerates the girl's quirky attitude and Hamelin's just happy to meet the original Pied Piper.
  • The Blood Team would become friends with Shido and the other spirits, both because of their similar dynamics and the fact they ended up in a world of fairy tales. Red Riding Hood, Mary, Little Mermaid, and Cinderella got along with the likes of Yoshino, Kotori, Miku, and Natsumi respectively not only because they took on the roles of their fairy tale counterparts, but also because some of them also shared some personality traits between them and also had a prince of their own in Shido. Jack and Shido became good friends because of their status of being the focus of a harem and how their journeys would end in them and their friends becoming normal people. Cinderella and Red Riding Hood became big sister figures to Natsumi and Yoshino due to their fairy tale motifs, and Miku and Little Mermaid bonded over their love of singing (though the latter tends to find the former a handful for her lustful behavior around cute girls, especially since Little Mermaid is only in love with Otsuu). Kotori and Mary had the least amount of similarities, but they did at least discuss the power of their matches, while the former got along better with Thumbelina due to their Tsundere behaviors.
  • The team become sworn enemies with Zonda and the Seven, who also take motifs from fairy tales but have a Kill All Humans agenda. All of them have a particular connection with Gibril (especially with Red Riding Hood due to coming from the same fairy tale), who's affinity with blood stems from her ability to manipulate many different metals and is fittingly as blood-thirsty as they come.
  • The Blood Maidens, with the exception of Otsuu, Little Mermaid (both of whom have each other), Charlotte, Mary, and Pyre, all have a crush on Jack and have chosen him as their prince. It's not clear who Jack chose to marry after their final adventure as a team, though none of them will have hard feelings for whoever he chooses. Of course, they won't choose to marry anyone else, especially the likes of Prince Charmles and Gaston, both of whom act nothing like a prince, and even agree they're not even charming in the slightest.
  • The Blood Team met and befriended the CPUs, whom had come to greet and congratulate them for ascending into the Pantheon as fellow gods from Compile Heart. Some of the CPUs shared a lot of things in common (Thumbelina and Blanc have A-Cup Angst and do their best to act as a big sister, Red Riding Hood and Neptune for being a big sister, etc). The CPUs also ship Otsuu and Little Mermaid together, while having debates about who Jack should get tother with.
  • Otsuu and Charlotte sympathize with Homura Akemi, seeing a lot of themselves in the Magical Girl. Otsuu had also made a wish to prevent the death of the person she loved most, changing the past to do so, while Charlotte had repeated this process every time Alice died. However, while Homura does care somewhat about the other Magical Girls but always prioritizes Madoka's well-being above all else, Otsuu grows to care for all of the members of the Blood Team. Charlotte also never retained any memories of each time loop that occurred, so she never became jaded and cynical like Homura did. While Homura steals Madoka's power and traps the latter and her friends in an ideal world, Otsuu is forced to let the world go back to the way it was at Little Mermaid's request. While Homura's relationship is damaged as a result of her actions, Otsuu's bond with Jack allows her to regain her memories and start her friendship with the Blood Maidens anew, while also being to resurrect Little Mermaid and earn a happy ending with her. Charlotte notes she might have turned out like Homura if she went through the same troubles that she did, which led her to pity the girl for how obessive she became.
    • The two girls also felt sympathy for Barry Allen, who had once traveled back in time to prevent his mother's death, only to cause a Butterfly of Doom that forced to set things back to the way they were. Otsuu knows quite just how painful such an experience is and is saddened that Barry has to move on from his mother's death whereas she got to reunite with Little Mermaid. Charlotte is also quite sympathetic with Barry's loss, knowing what it's like to want to undo things, and also admits she feels selfish how happy she is to have finally live alongside her sisters while Barry has to move on from his mother's death.
  • The Blood Maidens' have a special power that is unleashed by getting covered in enough Marchen blood. If the blood is cleared, they go into their Massacre Mode. But if the blood is muddied by the Corruption due to the Blood Maiden taking heavy damage or watching a comrade fall, they turn into their berserked Blood Skelter State. Jack's blood is the only thing that can purify The Corruption or return a Blood Maiden to normal from their Blood Skelter state, but since Jack only has a finite amount of blood, he can risk passing out if gives up too much. Since there are no Marchens in the Pantheon, the team doesn't have to worry about any of the risks they have to take, though they still go to the House of Health and Diseases for a checkup every now and then.
    • The team crossed paths with Zero, who actually has a similar power of going into Intoner Mode when exposed to blood, but unlike them, the blood can come from anybody. They are all utterly disturbed by her ruthlessness.
    • If there is one House the team stays away from, it's the House of Vampires, since their blood's special properties have caught the interest of vampires everywhere. While there are some Vegetarian Vampires the Team get along with, they overall avoid and fear blood-sucking vampires.
  • Exclusive to Jack:
    • Jack once crossed paths with Vincent, who like Jack, also had to climb to survive once. But while Jack has already chosen his love interest and remains committed to her, Vincent had cheated on Katherine while they were dating and either had to choose one love interest, or none at all. Regardless, Vincent does respect Jack for his commitment and is rooting for him.
      • Jack is unsure what to think about Wander. On one hand, Wander trying to reunite with his loved one is something he can sympathize with. But on the other hand, Wander had climbed onto and remorselessly slayed Colossi that seemed more like wild animals wanting to live in peace, and this reminds Jack of his experience with Hansel, where his team regretfully ended up putting him down.
    • Makoto Naegi gets along very well with Jack, since they both were trapped in a horrible place they tried to escape from. Though whereas Jack was able to make it out with his friends, Makoto already lost so many of his classmates, with only five surviving. Makoto admits he still misses his friends every day and wishes he could have saved them, but he is glad that at least Jack still has his friends. Jack has not mentioned to him how he had already lost his friends in one timeline and decides to keep it that way for now.
    • Sora would lose all of his friends in one timeline before he changed the past, though using the Power of Waking to do so costed him greatly and caused him to vanish. Jack is saddened to hear of this, especially since he went out of his way to prevent Otsuu's mistake in causing a Butterfly of Doom but at least was able to reunite her with Little Mermaid, and hopes that Sora's friends will be able to save him in the future.
  • Exclusive to Alice
    • Alice has shown great contempt and dislike towards Angus Bumby and Jervis Tetch. The former for turning children into prostitutes and ruining Alice Lidell's life, and the former for mocking the fairy tale she was based on. Bumby seems interested in turning her into another prostitute, while the Tetch is obssessed with making her his 'Alice'. Alice promises to make sure Bumby pays for his sins, while she views Tetch as an Abhorrent Admirer.
    • Alice is shown to get along very well with Iroh, who also likes tea. She always enjoys having a tea party with him and his spirit companions, sharing stories between each other about their personal journeys. Alice was happy Iroh was able to recouncile with his nephew, while Iroh was happy Alice was able to find her happy ending alongside her friends and the boy she loved.
    • Alice is quite aware of how similar the Bibliomania version of Alice is when it comes to a journey through a Wonderland like setting. However, she does not like her at all due to this Alice being a memory-consuming Eldritch Abomination that seeks to devour everyone to assimilate their knowledge, and one incident involving this Alice and Jack almost led to her succumbing to Blood Skelter to avenge the harm the former caused Jack, almost getting herself eaten in the process.
  • Exclusive to Red Riding Hood:
    • Red has befriended Ryuko Matoi, who used giant scissors in combat. Red also sympathizes with her about her family life, since Ryuko had a genuinely loving father who was murdered by, all intents and purposes, her half-sister. Her mother was a horrid excuse for a parent and human being. Red was raised by someone who killed and replaced the man she thought of as her father, and it caused her some emotional strife.
      • Speaking of which, Red personally hates the Other Mother the most out of any deity due to pretending to act like a doting mother to children only so she can feed on them. Her behavior is so similar to her adopted father that Red has made her Arch-Enemy number 1.
    • Red downright loathes Fenrir Greyback, a werewolf that targets children, symbolizing the Big Bad Wolf from the fairy tale she's based on. The fact that Fenrir shows interest in her flesh certainly doesn't help
  • Exclusive to Thumbelina:
    • Being someone with a Pervert Revenge Mode and Height Angst mindset, Thumbelina tends to be hostile towards perverted people trying to hit on her, as well anyone mistaking her for being the little sister. Because of this, she shows great dislike towards resident lolicon, Tsubame Kamoi, especially when she mistook for the younger sister.
    • Thumbelina doesn't consciously know why she dislikes Father Elijah (since she doesn't inherit her alternate timeline self's memories), but she certainly can't stand his Control Freak tendencies. Jack, Otsuu, and Little Mermaid already know that Thumbelina was a Control Freak regarding her sisters in a misguided attempt to keep them safe, but needed a huge wake-up call to make her ease up. It's likely that some of the feelings of remorse from Thumbelina's Alternate Self entered her subcoscious mind and gave her bad vibes regarding Elijah.
  • Exclusive to Snow White:
    • Snow White is pessimistic about her looks, which is one of the reasons she fears mirrors. Bloody Mary, being a Mirror Monster, is pretty much a living embodiment of her fear. Snow White dreads having to face Bloody Mary, especially when the latter makes copies of herself. She's also rather uncomfortable around Dark Pit, given that he was born out of a mirror, and avoids him whenever she can. Dark Pit doesn't understand her deal but doesn't really care about her much.
    • Snow White was quite ashamed of her appearance, and it made her afraid to look in the mirror. She gets even more upset when she thinks she's gained weight. She was quite surprised meet the Snow White of Red Shoes, who was proud of her physique to the point she rejects the red shoes that made her slim and conventionally attractive in the end, making them foils. White reassures her that she's still beautiful on the inside regardless of her looks, as her friends came to accept her for who she is and her Prince Charming will fall in love with her because of Snow White herself, not because of her appearance.
  • Exclusive to Sleeping Beauty:
    • People tend to call Snorlax Sleeping Beauty's 'spirit Pokémon', and for good reason given how the two tend to sleep alot. Sleeping Beauty is hoping she can learn to simultaneously sleep and defend herself like Snorlax can with the move, Sleep Talk.
    • Sleepy, due to her Blood Libido, tends to find herself in the Hall of Dreams and Nightmares. There, she becomes a quick friend of NiGHTS and Haruto, helping them to stop nightmare-inducing villains such as Freddy Krueger.
  • Exclusive to Gretel:
    • Gretel has a lot in common with Kokonoe, being a Mad Scientist with a Sweet Tooth. The two spend their time talking with one another, sharing ideas, eating sweets, and planning experiments every now and then.
      • Of course, this earns her an enemy in Relius Clover, who has experimented on family members, something that has earned the enmity of Gretel since she had a brother.
    • Gretel is shown to get along with Stocking Anarchy, Lemres, and L, all of whom have a Sweet Tooth as well. She also likes to hang out with them to share some sweets.
  • Exclusive to Rapunzel:
    • If there is one person Rapunzel doesn't like the most, it's Freaky Fred. Rapunzel values her hair very much and refuses to let anyone cut it. The man enjoys cutting hair so much, that Rapunzel sees him as her Arch-Enemy.
    • Rapunzel has found her kindred spirit in Yang, who also doesn't like anyone messing with her hair. They'll go on a Roaring Rampage of Revenge together if anyone tears out a lock.
  • Exclusive to Cinderella:
    • Cinderella finds a kindred spirit in Rarity, both of them enjoying clothing and accessories. She goes to visit Rarity every now and then to try on new outfits, with the latter happy to be her tailor.
      • Cinderella has also met Rarity's human counterpart, with that Rarity showing interest Cinderella's fashion sense. The two also meet to discuss clothes, assecories, and beauty tips.
    • Cinderella also met and befriended fashion models and designers all over the Pantheon. Some of which include:
      • Shiki Misaki, a seamstress who's more than happy to create new clothes for Cinderella, and has a philosophy about clothes that the latter agrees with (that clothes tell us a lot about people).
      • Tomoyo Daidouji, who enjoys making complicated costumes for Sakura Kinomoto and is excited to show Cinderella her designs.
      • Marinette and Adrien, a fasion designer and model respectively, are all too willing to help Cinderella when it comes to modeling and photo shoots. Cinderella quickly learned of their secret identies as superheroes and their complicated love life, causing her to consider telling them. However, she decides to respect their secret and let them figure it out on their own when they're ready.
    • Cinderella detests Tsumigi Shriogane, telling her to her face that she has no right to talk about clothes after all she has done. Tsumigi on the other hand couldn't care less.
  • Exclusive to Kaguya:
    • Kaguya has met Mordecai and Rigby, who like her are also slackers. Though they tend to be put off by her stuck-up attitude. Still, they do appreciate how they were all able to grow as people thanks to their friends.
    • Kaguya is shown to be sympathetic towards the Ice King, given how they both suffer from Backstory Horrornote . Even though Simon Petrikov finally regains his sanity and identity, he still loses the love of his life. Kaguya has promised to support him ever since.
  • Exclusive to Hamelin:
    • Hamelin gets along with fellow Chuunibyous Phonon, Jurai Andou, Rintaro Okabe, Ranko Kanzaki, and Megumin. Hamelin tends to treat them all arrogantly, but does care for them as her friends, having gained memories of her alternate self in the other timeline.
    • Twitch and Ratigan downright loathe her, since she is based off the Pied Piper of Hamelin, someone who can control rats. Hamelin on the other hand, just sees them as villains that need to be destroyed.
    • Hamelin is obsessed with keeping promises, so she forms a kinship with Valvatorez. She hopes she can help Valvatorez fulfill his promise with Artina .
    • Hamelin is outright disgusted by Aurum, calling him a disgrace for someone who holds the title of hero. She may gotten her information of heroes from manga, but she knows very well heroes don't cause trouble just to get a more exciting fight.
  • Exclusive to Little Mermaid:
    • Since her blood libido is singing, Little Mermaid tends to visit the House of Musicality to practice singing and to meet fellow singers. She's gotten to befriend fellow singers within the Pantheon, and has even introduced to several musical groups.
    • Little Mermaid comes to detest musical villains, seeing their use of music as mockery and abuse of what makes it so special.
    • Little Mermaid finds the most personal connection in Madoka. Both of them were the source of affection for someone they showed kindness to and rescued. Their deaths motivated those people to change the past to prevent their deaths, but it only made things in the long run. But whereas Homura's obsession with Madoka had consumed her to the point of taking away her powers and trapping her in a Lotus-Eater Machine, Otsuu is convinced by Little Mermaid to return things to the way they were. While Homura's actions possibly destroyed her relationship with Madoka, Otsuu and Little Mermaid are able to reunite in the original timeline thanks to the help of Jack and the Blood Maidens. Little Mermaid gives her condolences with Madoka for what Homura has become, but admits she's not sure if she can get through to her at all.
  • Exclusive to Otsuu:
    • Otsuu is shown to have sympathy for Danny, Gwen, and Omi, all of whom tried to change the past for the better only to get a terrible future as a result. She's done the same thing with the exact same consequences. She feels a bit of envy for Future Trunks having a different set of rules for changing the past, but even then, she still sympathizes with him for losing his time and universe to Zamasu. Finn's wish to get rid of the Lich didn't work out as he hope it did, but Otsuu is glad at the very least that both his own and Farmworld Finn's timeline were saved.
      • Otsuu has gained enemies in the Lich and Dark Danny, the former due to being the result of a Butterfly of Doom through his Farmworld incarnation, and the latter for being the result of a horrible mistake that led to a bad future. Otsuu has vowed to stop these Omnicidal Maniacs from causing any harm to any world.
  • Exclusive to Clara:
    • Recette is a fellow shopkeeper that got along well with Clara, since they both supported adventurers while exploring dungeons in search of resources. Clara saw a kindred spirit in Recette for their professions as well as their Undying Loyalty to the person who showed them kindness and did so much for them, which leads her trading resources with Recette and help out with exploration in dungeons to gathers resources for their stores. Because of this, Clara made Recette a T-Shirt during one of their hang outs, which the latter accepted as a token of friendship.
    • Tends to get along with other gods who've received an unusual blood transfusion, such as Michiru, Nazuna, and Jennifer. All three girls acted as a Cool Big Sis to Clara because of this similarity, though Clara had lost her ability in the mortal world as a result of Jack's wish. That being said, Clara enjoys talking to them and how much capable they become as a result of receiving superpowered blood.
    • The Villager tends to come to Clara for supplies in order to decorate their temple, with Clara more than happy to oblige. Clara has managed to craft many interior decorations for the Villager's home, such as tables, beds, and even antiques, for which the Villager is thankful and has paid Clara for her services. The Villager has become a notable customer ever since.
    • Steve and Alex are also well known for crafting objects, and in their case they use special materials. Clara is amazed by the world of Minecraft, which has led her to go on explorations to gather materials for new crafts. Steve and Alex serve as her mentors and teach her how gather materials and craft them in Minecraft.
    • The Sorceress has earned Clara's ire for her intent to steal and smash Dragon eggs, which remind her of the Gato's similar cruelty in kidnapping Pyre and turning into a weapon for murder. Her motive for doing also disgusts her, noting that, while her plans are not as severe as Gato's, she is still just as unforgivable. The Sorceress couldn't care less about her feelings.
  • Exclusive to Toh:
    • Piccolo and Toh got along very well after seeing their similarities, namely being the reincarnation of evil aliens whose kinship with their first companion brought out the best in them and led them to make a Heroic Sacrifice. The two tend to discuss their relationship with those who helped them grow as people (Primarily Gohan and Red Riding Hood respectively) and cared deeply about them, to the point they were considered a father figure to them (Piccolo as a Parental Substitute, Toh being the reincarnation of Red Riding Hood's adopted father). Piccolo has praised Toh for his redemption, though he does feel sorry for the fact he didn't get to spent more time with Red after awakening his memories. Toh notes that he has all the time in the world to do so, especially now since they're all in the Pantheon.
      • King Piccolo is very similar to Toh's previous incarnation as Snark, except for the fact that King Piccolo was pure evil personified, having neither good intentions nor a loved one that brought out the best in him. Since King Piccolo couldn't bring Piccolo Jr. back to the dark side, he decided to try again with Toh, only to discover that while the latter has regained his memories of Snark, he has already abandoned his plans for Earth and instead is content to live happily with his wife. Instead, Toh has promised to stop King Piccolo if he ever intends to bring more chaos and destruction.
    • Hal Jordan was once unable to save Coast City from an attack by Cyborg-Superman and Mongul. This lead him to attack the Green Lanterns Corp in his rage and grief, killing them and the Guardians of the Universe off and taking their rings for himself, becoming Parallax. From that point on, he sought to destroy the multiverse and then recreate it into an ideal version where the heroes always win. It took the combined might of heroes from different multiverses to stop him, and he would redeem himself through a Heroic Sacrifice to save the Earth and its sun from the Sun-Eater. Hal would return to being a good guy after resurfacing. This leads Toh and Hal to form a kinship, since the former wanted to restore his homeworld at the cost of Earth, and would later heroically sacrifice himself to save it upon his reincarnation. Both tend to get together to talk about their strifes as well as the love of their lives.
  • Exclusive to Mary:
    • Mary saw a lot of herself in Tomoko Kuroki, who had terrible social skills like her and stutters in her conversations with all but the people closest to her. However, Tomoko was able to slowly come out of her shell and find the friends she wanted so badly, while Mary still prefers to hide in her delusions and avoid interacting with other people. Tomoko admits she would have scorned Mary for being a loser long ago, though she has started to lose this kind of resentment and wonders if Mary could become just like her with enough time. Mary isn't willing to thrill her for now, though there may still be hope.
    • Takuto Maruki, as a step up from unconciously manipulating individual cognition, sought to rewrite reality itself and make it void of suffering after awakening to his Persona, Azathoth, and taking control of the cognitive world after Yaldabaoth's defeat. It's only after his defeat that he admits to running away from reality before conceding. Mary actually admits she would have probably followed his dream long ago if she hadn't met Charlotte, because deep down she's still not comfortable coming out of her shell and interacting with people, wanting to daydream by her lonesome. Because of this, Maruki is one of the few people she can feel comfortable around and talk with.
    • Alice of Bibiliomania wanted to experience the real happiness of the world outside rather than live cooped up in the Serpent's manor full of lies, leading her to fight tooth and nail to escape even as her body rotted away the further she went. While seemingly an admirable trait at first, Alice was actually a sickly princess who was bedridden and thus unable to see the outside world. Her obsessive love for knowledge and literature lead her to create a powerful artifact known as the "Book of Truth", fusing with it to become an Eldritch Abomination that sought to assimlilate all knowledge into itself, even absorbing humans to acquire their knowledge and memories. Mary has come to fear this version of Alice, who has made her feel justified in wanting to stay within her fantasies, especially when the Book of Truth wants to assimilate her to transcribe her story into it's pages. Mary compares this to a more dangerous version of Chiaki seeking to immortalize her story and wants nothing to do with it.
  • Exclusive to Charlotte:
    • She gets along well with Elsa since the both of them are big sisters who seek to protect their little sisters. Charlotte sympathizes with Elsa after hearing of her plight about how she ended up accidentally hurting her sister twice and it caused her to shut her out but is happy that she was able to heal her relationship with her sister. Charlotte is disgusted by how Hans took advantage of Anna's desire for love and desperation to escape her loneliness, as well as how he made Elsa believe she's responsible for her sister's death, noting how what a terrible excuse for a prince he is.
      • Charlotte also heavily dislikes Penelope Mouse for taking advantage of Bentley's feelings for her and betraying his trust, especially when it's done out of selfishness and greed. She would never forgive anyone for betraying Alice's trust like that, which is why it's very fortunate to her that Jack is a true friend to her sister.
    • Charlotte has nothing but contempt for Eobard Thawne after finding him to be so petty and callous as to try and ruin Barry's life, and even more so after finding how he was willing to erase his brother from existence both because his parents favored said brother over him and because his was brother was annoying. She turned back time she wanted to save her sisters, and seeing Eobard treat his sibling like that reminds her of how Gato treated his sister Guillotine. Eobard on the other hand wants to kill Mary and Alice to try and drive Charlotte insane once again, while destroying Mary's matches so Charlotte won't be able to use them to potentially undo his murders, all for petty amusement.
  • Exclusive to Pyre:
    • Pyre tends to get along very well with people who were also kidnapped and Reforged into a Minion like her, or at least raised to be like that. Ashi was very sympathetic to Pyre, since while Ashi was born under an abusive mother and raised as a Tyke Bomb, Pyre at least had a normal life and happy family before she was kidnapped. Finn was inducted into the First Order at such a young age that he doesn't friends and family from before (if he had any), which allowed him to form a kinship with Pyre since she couldn't remember her sisters, though she at least got to reunite with them and start over. Adora and Catra were raised by the evil Horde, before they eventually turned on them to fight for either what's right or for the people they care about, which led them to feel sympathy for Pyre after hearing of how she was kidnapped and raised to be a killer, only to go through abuse when she can't bring herself to kill. The two were happy at least Pyre got to reunite with her sisters and find a family in the Blood Team.
    • There were some enemies that Pyre was notably uncomfortable with at best or disliked greatly at worst. Zira, Ozai, and Ragyo Kiriuin all reminded her of "Papa" due to being abusive parents who raised their children to be evil or cruel killing machines. Zira raised her son Kovu to be a Laser Guided Tyke Bomb to kill Simba, only to disown him when he refused to do so. Ozai scarred Zuko's face for being against a plan to sacrifice the Fire Nations own soldiers and raised Azula to be as ruthless as him. Ragyo's sexual abuse of Satsuki and discarding of Ryuko reminded her of Gato's treatment the most, and her subordinate Nui Harime reminds her of her sisters from Massacre Pink due to her Sugary Malice and sadism. Pyre fears these kinds of people, especially someone as cruel as Ragyo and Nui, but she at least still has her friends to back her up in her time of need.
    • Pyre saw some of herself in Darth Maul, who was kidnapped by Palpatine and subjected to years of painful and agonizing training to become a killing machine to him. However, whereas Maul still rememberd and loved his mother and brother while despising both his master for killing his family (along with the enemy he was trained to fight), Pyre had long forgotten her identity as Rachel as well as her sisters, though her heart had never forgotten them, and she never came to hate anyone at all. She never sought to kill anyone no matter how much abuse she was put through, nor did she even come to hate her abusers, only feeling sad to see her sisters turn into a monster at the hands of Papa. Because of this, Pyre refuses to join Maul when he tries to recruit her as an apprentice, promising to stop him if he tries to hurt the family she's come to love.
    • Himiko Toga seriously creeps out Pyre, since her obsession with blood reminds her of Iron Maiden, but at the same time Pyre also feels sympathy for her after hearing of how she had suppressed her urge for blood for so long that she eventually snapped and attacked a boy she had a crush on. Pyre had also suppressed her urge to burn people for a very long time because she didn't want to kill anyone, but she at least had friends to help her calm down and come to her senses. Pyre admits she wants to help Toga, but isn't really sure if she can or not. Toga on the other hand sees Pyre as cute girl she wants to cut and imitate, which disturbs the poor girl even more.

  • Welcome to Tallinn, the capital of the now long-gone country of Estonia. The city is seemingly abandoned, yet roaming from within its walls are not only the still active autonomous defenses and ELID infectees but a mysterious group of young girls. To understand their story, however, one must look to the organization they were once apart of: Paradeus, specifically the Nytos leading them. And to understand them, one must look to their creator: "William". He was apart of an underground research group called 90wish and had a morbid and vested interest in investigating Collapse Technology sites. Such technology is extraordinarily dangerous, however: The current state of the world was attributed to such sites releasing its radiation into the atmosphere. Top at the list of answers to this problem was the prospect of people who had an "affinity" to Collapse radiation. Simulated experiments made it out to be fruitless. William wasn't satisfied, however, and sought to do the live experiments on his own.
    • It can be assumed that the first of his attempts started with artificial humans, cloned from a girl named Lunasiyanote , and were also outfitted with cybernetics and genetically manipulated to ideally house and develop an OGAS. The batches, the precursors to his "Nytos", proved unsuccessful and disappointing to him and were dumped away to Tallinn along with Epiphylla flowersnote . These "Isomers" formed a giant network with one another and await the day a perfect version of them comes where they can assimilate with them and finally leave Tallinn. Some, however, couldn't bear to wait and committed suicide via Epiphylla. Yet one Isomer always remained as host to watch over the rest.
    • Upon serving her purpose with the attack on Belgrade the Nyto known as Nimogen was sent off to Tallinn. The Isomers caught wind of her arrival and noted that while she held desirable qualities but she, too, was thrown away. Thus, the network went in to assimilate her. Not long after that did the G&K Commander make their stop at the Estonian capital due to being blocked off and ordered their forces to investigate the mysterious connections and disruptions. Those were the result of the Isomer's search for their "chosen one" and they soon found the doll M4A1 to suit their needs and attempted to form a connection with her but were unsuccessful. Distraught, Isomer Black tipped off her "father" of G&K's presence and stole away M4A1's OGAS to try and appease her "father" but found that he never replied and that she lured M4 in the Epiphylla field outside. Isomer Black then urged M4 to fight her and finally end her life when the Epiphylla couldn't to get what she wanted. After having peered into the Isomer's many memories she decided against a Mercy Kill, preferring to grant her release differently.
    • In the end, M4's fight with Isomer Black wore her down for her OGAS to take over as host of the connections, allowing access to the permissions needed to finally leave Tallinn as KCCO closed in on their position to erase Tallinn and them. Now taking up the name of Dandelion her OGAS formed a symbiotic relationship with the Isomer to fulfill their wish: To never be left behind and never be forgotten ever again as they departed from Tallinn. It was there did M4 and the rest of G&K left the city to resume their journey to the Paldiski Submarine Base.
  • Careful review done on her tragic story by the Court of Gods was what brought Isomer Black back onto the limelight. It was determined that she take up the mantle for Unexpected Shmup Level as she put up one hell of a fight in the end with Nimogen's combat systems; her duel with M4 was that of a Bullet Hell Shoot 'em Up, a far cry from the game's more tactical oriented gameplay, even when accounting for other bosses which deviate from it somewhat. While the choice to bring her up to the Trope was met with unanimous support by the Court there was still the issue of suddenly breaking her off from Dandelion though by the time she opened her eyes once more did their fears prove unfounded. While it is unfortunate that Dandelion was unable to join her Isomer Black made it very clear their entire goal was to leave the city of death and coming to the Pantheon still fulfilled said goal so she takes little issue with this turn of events. In addition, by the end of the operation in Paldiski did M4A1 ended up accepting the merger anyways, it's just that this time it was of her own volition to save both M16A1 and Elisa from drowning deep within the base.
    • The ascended Griffin and Kryuger Tactical Dolls do, however, take an issue with her ascension considering their experiences with Paradeus and her body is that of a Nyto. Their teamwork with Dandelion is a tenuous one already, so imagine how bad theirs is with Isomer Black. Even as she no longer wishes to tangle with them after getting what she wanted they are still wary of her capabilities.
  • Truth be told, Isomer Black was at a loss on what to do next in the Pantheon. Isomer Black's mixed feelings for her "father" mattered little with his lack of a presence in a world as strange as this. Dandelion gave her the strength to continue on and mend one's pain but without their help she didn't know how to really go about that and was initially consigned to roam aimlessly with the Isomers as their goals of "going home" isn't much of an option anymore. It started to change when she encountered Bastion, a Robot Soldier in the Omnic War lost to time in the Eichenwalde's forest until being reactivated, proved to be surprisingly understanding of her plight. Bastion isn't evil or even antagonistic like she was, though, even as a walking reminder to a catastrophic war, and for that he pities her. It has not gone unappreciated as at times various Isomers can be seen alongside the old Omnic appreciating nature and taking in the sights.
  • While referred to as Isomer Black she technically isn't referred to as such in story much like the Nyto bosses introduced in Continuum Turbulence. In this case, the name "Isomer Black" is only present as an initial Line-of-Sight Name by the community (files refer to her specifically as Failed Isomer). The Isomers themselves are nameless due to William never actually giving them one and the term "isomer" itself was only coined by M4A1's OGAS. Nimogen would be the runner-up considering she did end up becoming the Isomer's host for the hive mind and that the hive mind did choose to refer herself as such but even then that's not quite right either. In the Pantheon the names are often used interchangeably though there is an inclination towards the latter.
    • On the topic of isomers, in the world of chemistry an isomer refers to compounds with the same composition but with different arrangements in structure thus leading to different properties. Thus, the name of "isomer" but is representative of not only the Isomers as a whole but really anyone who digi-minds derived from Lunasia's brain scan as a template all of them are ultimately different entities. This is in spite of the fact that those like the Isomers are literal clones of said girl.
  • Though a fellow boss well-aquianted with bullet hell, Reimu Hakurei and Marisa Kirisame are wary of Isomer Black should she ever deciede to tread on their domains, Gensokyo in particular. Meanwhile, their Wrench Wench acquaintance, Nitori Kawashiro, is interested in tinkering out Isomer Black's existing cybernetic parts. Reimu and Marisa think she's poking a hornet's nest in messing with such dangerous tech, even for her. Anything that seems to deal with Collapse radiation seems like bad news.
  • Operations involving the Isomers and Nytos conducted by their "father" seem to be mainly centered in the country of Estonia and around other parts of Eastern Europe. This has naturally not endeared her to the personification of the nation Estonia, even if she doesn't really mean any harm to him. The fact that the consciousnesses of Isomer are reified like that of digital space in machinery is also quite disturbing, speaking as a person who knows their way around computers.
  • Even as she doesn't want to get involved in the Pantheon's conflicts it still finds a way to her. Arthur Maxson, Elder of the East Coast's Brotherhood of Steel, regards her and the rest of the Isomers detestable crimes against humanity. He was already on pretty hostile terms with the T-Dolls due to reminding him of the Synths the Institute creates but he finds that the Isomers are much closer to them. Meanwhile Father Elijah, former Elder to the Brotherhood of Steel in the West Coast, finds her to be most interesting. While regarded as a failure and disposed of as such he finds there to still be potential use for her yet and would try taking her and the rest of the Isomers for himself... or at least he would of if not for the Gold-Toothed Doctor beating him to the punch by luring her under the promise of meeting her "father" neglecting that he was referring to his superior, Father. He didn't get to do anything to her, however, as Valentine tipped off Isomer Black of the doctor's intentions. Realizing she was made a fool of, Isomer Black immobilized him in Tide of Apocalyptic before piercing the doctor's chest with her combat tentacles. Hearing of his untimely demise, Father Elijah understands he would need to take extra precautions now that she's on edge thanks to the doctor's blunder.
    Father Elijah: Stick to your precious "alchemy", you ignorant beast. Someone like yourself would never fully realize it's potential.
  • Upon Isomer Black's ascension to the Pantheon many of the Epiphylla seemed to have followed suit into the House of Plants. You can even find entire seas of them growing in and all around the House and back home there's enough of them to fill an entire valley. Beautiful as they may be they still carry a very disturbing history with them. Not just as an experiment of William's but also the cause of as many refugees were tricked by Paradeus into seeking asylum in Tallinn only fall to specialized radiation poisoning due to still wanting to scout for CF immune individuals. To say nothing of the Isomers who couldn't take it anymore and chose to "baptize" themselves in the Epiphylla's blossoming. Many tend to avoid her while more unsavory individuals want to exploit the flowers for their own use. However, with the Pantheon's lack of Collapse Technology radiation there is little applicable use for them. In short, as it stands they are no different to any ordinary flower.
    • As her climatic battle with M4A1 took place in such a field of flowers it has naturally earned comparisons towards an individual known as the Boss. While not based on her (that honor belongs to another person, complete with comparisons her protege Big Boss) Isomer Black does still have some similarities to take note of besides the set piece. For one, there's the fact they're both very loyal to their respective sides despite being screwed over by them. There's also their attempted Suicide by Cop to get what they want which in the Boss' case is to fulfill her mission set by the United States even if it meant her name being run into a ground as a traitor. Then there's the fact their final wish's set in the fight being fulfilled differently by others though at least with M4A1 it turned out alright. The Boss' with her protege Big Boss and many others? Not so much. For that, Isomer Black can't help but pity how her dream of a unified world was constantly twisted into something terrible.
  • While on the topic of pity, Isomer Black has reserved such sentiments to her fellow artificial humans. For example, the head Isomer finds Liquid Snake's perceived genetic inferiority as a clone towards Solid Snake when in reality the opposite is true. She even reserves these feelings towards the Grineer, a rarity considering who they are and what they've done, as they're rapidly degenerating clones of other clones genetically loyal to their masters. Doesn't not necessarily mean she condones either of the two's actions, though, or actually voice them out loud. The former would probably tell her to stuff it with those sentiments while the latter would be agitated that their superiority is questioned. Thus, she keeps a distance between them though makes a bit of an exception to the latter's Steel Meridian. She appreciates the fact that she was made welcome by them.
  • Makes a point not to dirty or further damage her own tattered dress. It wasn't originally that way and such a condition was only sustained following the operation in Belgrade, Serbia. For that Nyto, it was the first and last gift her "father" gave to her and she genuinely cherished it even after everything that has happened. On a more comical note Isomer doesn't appear to like gates and asking her about it warrants a thousand-yard stare. We can only guess as to why she reacts this way.
  • Having experienced all sorts of pain throughout her existence she could hardly understand the feeling of family beyond the connections she made with her fellow Isomers. To hear that Dr. Light has created a family of his own brought about some skepticism. But upon managing to meet the man in person alongside the likes of Mega Man and Roll was she then convinced. At first, she was envious but it soon broke down into lament in how she and many of her sisters got a terrible draw when it came to creators. Since then the Isomer has kept in touch and promised to assist the family however possible, though being weary of conflict had lead her to roles helping out Dr. Light and Roll than Mega Man, who's often quite in the thick of it.
    • Sometime after her meeting with Dr. Light and his family his former colleague Dr. Wily arranged a meeting with her. He tried passing himself off as someone who still was partners with him and made an offer to join him. Isomer Black was unconvinced by his tone and further cementing this was Proto Man who ended up arriving to tell him off anyways. Irate, Dr. Wily was forced to retreat in his capsule. With him out of the way, Isomer Black inquired if he was connected to Light and the like and found out he was another creation of his until he willingly became a runaway, something that differs from her own fate. His core was damaged and was secretly dying and didn't want to risk his character being rewritten to save his life, another stark contrast with her situation of being unable to die herself and wanting to gain favor from her creator. There's some disagreement regarding what Proto Man could have done though ultimately both sides agree it's just a matter of perspective. They've departed on friendly terms, and Isomer Black is open to conversation.
  • It's no secret that she really doesn't like William and anyone who exhibits similarities to his behavior. But on a more general scale Isomer Black doesn't necessarily hold a grudge against all of mankind for that. At worst, she considers many of them "non-believers". Null Sector thought they'd at least see equal ground though Isomer Black refuted she had zero interest in fighting their war, finding it meaningless. Naturally, they didn't like this and sent soldiers after her but the ones deployed suddenly found themselves surrounded in some odd mist. When some members of the Gears Of Liberation movement caught up with this detachment of Null Sector they found that all of them suffered a burnout in their AI, reducing their bodies to mere statues. At the center of it all stood a lone Isomer who quickly explained to the group that they basically weaponized their forced connections into disabling Isomer Black's assailants.
    • Though not necessarily one to make enemies, there is some heavy vitriol stirred between her and the Magician, mainly stemming from the contrast. While Isomer Black was subservient from the get-go, and still somewhat is even after her abandonment (it's a mixed feeling), the Magician immediately turned on his creator, Dr. Curien, and attacked anyone who stood in his way. The Magician finds her and the entirety of the Isomers pathetic, being so spineless as to bend over backwards to their Father and cosign themselves to Tallinn. Neither her nor her compatriots appreciated hearing his opinions though they also understand he's also quite the dangerous customer. If it comes down to it, she will partner with G&K to defeat him if given the chance.
  • Considering how much they revered M4A1 it is thought that she and the Isomers as a whole are practically her (unwanted) fanclub. Initially, when it was brought up to them they didn't understand what people were talking about until it was explained to and they then wholeheartedly admitted as such, not understanding the full implications other than the reverence to M4. Not helping things is that some of the Isomer can be seen with memorabilia of the Anti-Rain leader such as stuffed dolls and hoodies with the words: "I ♥ M4" written in bold font.
  • "I’m so tired... so cold... But I’m happy. This is the first time I’ve felt this way... I’ve never once complained about my fate. This is the first time... But it’s different now... I want... to change something... There's a pounding in my chest... is that a heartbeat?"

Hit the 200 point mark and she'll be almost impressed... Or so she claims.
    • What about Mona's story makes her different from the other mini game hosts? Well, as it turns out her minigame was actually just a hoax for what she was really doing. She was actually aiding Plague Knight on his quest to create the ultimate potion, because, as she puts it, "The bigger the explosion, the better the alchemist!" It was for this added fact that she became much more than a simple Mini-Game host that she won her spot within the Pantheon.
  • Unbeknown to everyone, Plague Knight was actually trying to ascend Mona by himself, seeing how she is his girlfriend, and he wants that honor of ascending her. Meanwhile, Shovel Knight overheard how some deities were bored, and decided to petition for Mona's ascension to help out, saying she runs a fine minigame. Despite being miffed that he couldn't do it himself, he couldn't help but chuckle at the idea that the karma circle opened from Plague Knight unknowingly setting up Chester to give Shovel Knight powerful relics has come closed.
  • Upon hearing about the House of Explosives, she, along with Plague Knight whom didn't even notice the house, got excited and decided to pay the place a visit. Unfortunately, instead of the alchemists that loved explosives they were expecting, these deities seem to take the lazy way of using explosives, simply buying them instead of creating explosions themselves. As such, they decided to open up a tutoring center in the house to help teach deities how to form their own kinds of bombs and explosions just like alchemists do. While this class does have some people interested, most of them still stick to the bombs they already have.
    • That said, explosive lovers that craft their own bombs still get their respect, even if it's not from alchemy. For that matter, Plague Knight and Mona still has respect for Junkrat, who not only loves his explosions, but also crafts his own. They are most impressed with his Rip-Tire, and are interested in seeing if they could replicate such a bomb via potions. She unironically enjoys Michael Bay's movies alongside with Plague Knight. One guess as to why they like them.
    • She was impressed with Yoshikage Kira's powers and how his stand allows for so many explosions of different kinds, and while Kira is flattered by such comments, he still insists that they leave him alone and don't bother him, threatening murder should she persist. While Plague is okay with him for the time being, he is willing to fight off Kira should he try to go through on his word.
  • Seemingly enjoys Crow's presence as well as his fondness for explosions, not even minding that he's a villain. She always puts time aside to watch him and Plague Knight duke it out in a sparring match, or if Plague Knight is called upon to act as the hero and stop Crow, not that either of them mind the arrangement.
  • She is comfortable enough with SCP-049, as upon hearing how she is a close acquaintance of Plague Knight, he assumed she was also working on a cure for the plague. She just went along with it, although whenever she so much coughs, the doctor insists on giving her his "touch". Thankfully, Plague Knight can easily just touch her himself to "cure" her and bring her back to his temple to "rest", satisfying the doctor.
    • Despite sometime calling them up to bring back the SCP should he get too creepy for her liking, Mona is still annoyed at how often they keep attacking Plague Knight, mistaking him for the actual Plague Doctor, when he breaches containment.
  • Just like with Plague Knight, sometimes, slow dancing music can be heard coming her temple from time to time, and a couple keen eyes are sometimes able to report Plague Knight entering her temple before it started. The two have yet to announce what happens that prompts this music. Mona however, seems to be getting offers from several members of the House of Musicality to receive dance lessons, but they are too fast paced for her liking.
  • She is not to be confused with Morgana, even if they do have the same name, with Mona being Morgana's nickname. Also, no relation to the Mona that works for Wario.
  • Of course, given her title, people still go to her temple to either play her original Mini-Game or a version which you have to keep a flask up in the air for the longest time. Specter Knight is a common player of the second version of her game, and while she does enjoy seeing him frustrated by failing constantly, she wasn't too happy with him once she saw him beating up Plague Knight out of nowhere, apparently because he unknowingly stole a Tragic Keepsake from him without knowing its true value. She was able to call him out and convince him to leave, but it doesn't stop her from beaming Specter Knight with a flask or two during his attempts at her game, saying it's a "added challenge".
    • Because of Plague Knight's relations with the other Knights from the same game, Mona often finds herself as mediator between him and Shovel/Specter Knight.
