Profession and Jobs

Jobs, careers, and work are a major factor in providing a vital source for society to function as well as a centerpiece in the creation, development, and withdrawal of money and cash. As a result, nearly everybody who comes to a certain age is obligated to take it up for themselves to find and start a job in a career that they either want to specialize in or whose skills and working facilities correlate best with what they were taught in college and university. And with an ever-increasing number of workers, also comes the corresponding increase of job opportunities and demands, all of which serve to create competition as well as further motivation for people to work harder in earning more for themselves.

The House of Jobs and Profession is the Pantheon's response in an attempt to create a centralized district that symbolizes, represents, and promotes the spirit and ethics of working for one's self. Being a celestial representative of that field, the House has dedicated itself to providing and showcasing every single possible job that can be offered to the common person^note normal, ethical jobs, that is, which is to say, there has been an establishment of hundreds of job centres in the House itself as well as some more in other Houses and locales in the Pantheon. This is to help create a connective hub where job applications and offers are recorded and archived as quickly and effectively as possible, as well as making sure each place manages to sustain a decent business operation that could allow each and every House to thrive on a financial perspective.

The House's main landmark as well as the main job center's headquarters is a building simply known as the Pantheon Universal Center of Jobs and Opportunities (short for PUCJO), where embassies, long-term events, and high business meetings are held on a yearly basis to discuss about the rate of jobs, income, and payments in the Pantheon and to assess whatever success, improvements, and changes that have occurred or can be implemented in the future. The PUCJO headquarters is among the largest buildings in the Pantheon with a massive width length ranging up to a mile as well as maintaining around 50 stories worth of heights. It is characterized by its slanted, yet practical design choice, as well as rows of flags and banners to reference different Houses and job careers.

This is one of the most practical and important Houses in the Pantheon for many reasons, the main one being that a lot of residents, mortals and deities alike, are reliant in finding and maintaining a job with which they could generate and manage their earnings to maintain their own livelihood in the new realm as well as hopefully scoring high enough to earn a job promotion in the Pantheon, which they would see as a blessing. The House of Jobs and Profession is also incredibly influential to the extent where it has ties to most other Houses simply because of its practicality compared to most of them, with the House of Commerce being its main collaborator and fundraiser. That said, due to the sheet size and scope the House has presented itself, work ethics here tend to be taken very seriously and managing each and every nook and cranny, as well as general maintenance for the House has proven itself to be a tough challenge, in spite of the importance to keep the overall environment and conditions clean and pristine.

The Championed Employers

Diana Christensen

Diana Christensen, Goddess of Network Decay and Sensationalist News Outlets

• Quasidiety
• Symbol: The UBS logo
• Alignment: Lawful Evil
• Portfolio: Villain Protagonist, The Sociopath, Ice Queen, turning serious news programs into a populist circus, completely altering the face of UBS and wrecking programming quality for increased viewership, and god help you if your ratings falter
• Domains: Television, Entertainment, Executives, "News", Sensationalism
• Heralds: UBS
• Allies: Louis Bloom, Gleeman Vox, Damon Killian
• Enemies: Jon Stewart, Stephen Colbert, Truman Burbank, Katniss Everdeen, JJ Jameson, Lois Lane, Jade, Ratchet, Clank
• Opposed by: Juror #8
• Diana Christensen is a producer at the failing TV station UBS. Determined to raise her station from the pits, she took advantage of Howard Beale, a fading news anchor with slipping sanity, by having him spout inflamatory rants on live television. The ratings shot up overnight and the once serious news program eventually mutated into what could be called a talk show starring a raving madman. Even though the old-school members of the industry denounced it, it was for some time the highest rated show on TV, which is all that matters to Diana, who kept filling UBS with lurid content. When Beale's ratings went into a sharp decline and Diana couldn't sack him, she decided to have him killed during live broadcast as a ratings stunt.
• How she got into the Pantheon is unclear (most suspect it's the GUAE's doing, but Diana refuses to associate with them, at least openly), but the first sign of her presence was UBS beginning regular broadcasts in the Pantheon. Most deities ostensibly mocked the channel's blatantly pandering content, but ratings were high all the same, so they were definitely watching despite themselves. The Main House decided Diana's approach to running a network was exemplary, as in an example of how not to do things, and awarded her with godhood. Diana didn't turn it down, as she views her tropes as simply facts of life, but upon accepting it she went on a Motive Rant about how television is a business and she's only giving people what they want to watch, and it's not her fault people want trash. And she's probably right because UBS has become a staple of Pantheon television.
• Diana has no doubt that the most effective way to get people to sit down and watch TV is to fill the airwaves with content that expresses (superficially) and feeds into and their feelings of anger, fear and revolt, so she's looking into associating with deities that can provide that kind of content for her. After ascension she sought to ascend notorious stringer Louis Bloom so she could have a reliable source to provide UBS with some quality footage of violent crimes. For a while he served as her High Priest; after ascension they've become each other's closest allies in the Pantheon. Some deities think they're a couple, but sociopathic as both of them are, neither has any feelings to spare for that kind of relationship. And the way her affair with Max Schumacher ended arguably left Diana a bit crazy (or crazier than she already was).
• Being a media mogul with no scruples, Gleeman Vox took it upon himself to sponsor UBS' activities in the Pantheon, even providing Diana with access to his minions so she can better defend herself against the dangers of the Pantheon, as well as her enemies. Diana finds this useful enough to accept associating with Gleeman, and of course this puts her in Ratchet and Clank's shitlist, given they've also suffered at the hands of Gleeman and his thirst for high ratings.
  • Diana later heard about Damon Killian and his successful show, The Running Man, and she proposed an offer to him that involved ICS being a production arm of UBS and have that show, alongside other deranged game shows, on UBS in turn. Killian has since taken up on the offer and the two have been consistent business partners following the meeting. That said, she's usually the one to try and diffuse any sort of tension that arises between Killian and Gleeman.
• She is predictably despised by a large number of journalists in the Pantheon for her abysmal treatment of the news program all for the sake of higher ratings, and overall lack of ethics. Lois Lane and JJ Jameson will happily denounce her practices in their newspapers, which Diana doesn't mind as she sees it as free publicity. She's also snidely hinted at Jameson that the way he puts a savior like Spider-Man on the front pages calling him a menace isn't much different from what he claims she does. Jameson by his turn holds that he's doing it strictly for the public safety and he really believes what he's saying.
• Truman Burbank and Katniss Everdeen hate her for being an exploitative television producer, which they've had to deal with quite a lot in their lives. Given Truman was almost murdered by the producer in charge of his show, he's understandably even more frightened of Diana since she actually succeeded in doing the same and got away with impunity. Diana thinks Truman's life could still be interesting to follow due to his struggle to adapt to the world outside of the reality show he was raised in. The problem with that is that Katniss is rather protective of Truman and tends to use her explosive arrows whenever she sees a UBS camera.
• Despite her poor relations with Katniss and Diana's opinion that if only showing something like the Hunger Games on television weren't utterly illegal in her world it'd be a huge hit, Diana isn't that big on the kind of totalitarian regime that made those games' existence possible in the first place. Probably not out of any moral standards, but because such regimes usually have a tight grip on networks and stifle freedom of expression, and Diana would not appreciate having to do her work in such limited conditions. She dedicates quite a lot of airtime to denouncing the deities who espouse totalitarianism. Her rivals would praise her if she did it in a less fearmongering manner.
• Given the popularity of their shows, Diana considered buying Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert's satirical news shows for her channel. But of course the two vetoed the notion as they want nothing to do with such a corrupt channel and its corrupt executives. They sometimes target Diana and UBS for mockery in some of their episodes, and when they have lower ratings than average they often joke they'd be literally dead by now if they were under Diana.
• To seriously speak of the whole "assassination of Howard Beale as a ratings stunt" thing for a minute, Diana's actually fairly annoyed that people think that's her modus operandi for every host of a show that's slipping in the ratings. The main reason she went that far was because the higher-ups had taken a personal interest on the show and wouldn't allow Beale to get fired, and as the ratings kept steadily declining, Diana found herself stuck in a corner and had to resort to such extreme measures to save the network (and her job), which she wouldn't have if she'd been allowed to fire Beale normally. Some deities will concede that makes her actions more understandable, but still doesn't justify freaking murder. And given her cold-hearted nature and obsession with ratings, very few deities trust that she won't do the same thing again with lesser cause.
• Shares a creator with Juror #8, however they don't see eye-to-eye, due to UBS' coverage of court cases being as sensationalist as anything else they put out. This irritates #8, who'd like people to seriously focus on the facts rather than getting swept away in a veritable soap opera version of them, and Diana isn't helping with that.
• All I want out of life is a 30 share and a 20 rating.

• Allies: Osmosis Jones, Luigi, Brief, Tails, Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck, Goofy, Danny Fenton, Reed Richards, Erma, Ellen Ripley, Hellboy
• Rival: Brachydios
• Enemies: King Boo, Rotom, Gengar, Spooky, Dark Danny, Tiamat, Cthulhu
• Opposes: The Bogeyman
• Always called when there's something strange in the neighborhood. Even if some people think the number called is considered lame after a while, business is still going strong for them and they're ready to believe anyone that calls them.
• Now if someone asks them if they're gods, they can say YES!!!
• Probably the only Mad Scientist gods that Balthier does not oppose. No one ever questions him about it.
• Should any news reporters such as April O'Neil be absent from their activities, Venkman sometimes reports events of the supernatural throughout the pantheon.
• Some deities suspect that there is some sort of Commonality Connection between Venkman and Garfield. It's a bit complicated to state fully, though the live-action depictions of each are portrayed by a certain person while the animated depictions of them are by a different, but shared, person.
• Venkman is the current human host for Osmosis Jones, largely because something about Venkman reminds Ozzy about his original human host. Neither of them have any issues with that.
• When Phil Connors ascended, he was shocked at how Venkman looks like him, while also being a bit of a selfish jerk like himself before being trapped in a neverending Groundhog Day.
• On an infrequent basis, they often have to combat Brachydios (and the Raging variant as well), given their experience in dealing with slime. The group consider this to be challenging, especially compared to dealing with ghosts.
• For some reason, Ray still won't talk about the time that he tried to visit a house that Casper was at and got scared off by some ghosts that were there.
• The four have plenty of admiration towards Luigi, given that the latter visited some haunted mansions in the past to go ghost-hunting (even if Luigi isn't the bravest member of the Pantheon). They consider the plumber to be an honorary member of the group because of it.
• Brief currently has an internship with the group, particularly since he views the four as inspirations (and the fact that he wears a similar costume and backpack).
  • In addition, since Panty and Stocking hunt ghosts as well, the duo sometimes works with the Ghostbusters...provided that Panty and Stocking aren't doing their own things at the moment.
• They have commended Mickey, Donald, and Goofy for making an upstart ghost-busting group, even if it isn't the strongest group out there. Goofy's willing to prove to the Ghostbusters that the Ghost Exterminator Agency ain't afraid of no ghosts.
• Danny Fenton has proven to be a highly valuable ally for the four given his ability to find ghosts and defeat them. He is often called for help whenever the Ghostbusters are having a difficult time battling certain malevolent ghosts.
  • With the ascension of Erma, she has also proven her worth as a valuable asset to the team, helping them keep track of and holding down some of the stronger and more powerful ghosts here. She also has taken a liking to their team pet, Slimer, going on candy store raids with him at times.
• They are opening up positions for newcomers to take up should these particular people have an interest in busting ghosts. They're just as open to offshoots of their own unit as well (an all-female team is just one of the offshoots that's happening).
• Currently, there are three ghosts that the group is trying to target to prevent catastrophic damage to the entire Pantheon: King Boo, Spooky, and Dark Danny. There are suspicions among many that the three ghosts will team up to create a ghostly calamity. Naturally, the Ghostbusters are trying to prevent such a ghostly team-up from happening.
  • Likely because of that, various other mechanics such as Tails and Reed Richards have offered to help improve the Ghostbusters' technology to make defeating the more dangerous ghosts easier.
• Although capturing and defeating the dangerous ghosts is important to them, they are still called on to handle mischievous prankster ghosts like Gengar and Rotom. The Ghostbusters have already dealt with Rotom before◊.
• After review of the Tiamat Incident, it was decided to ascend the other five official members of the Ghostbusters who participated in said incident. Now all ghosts in the Pantheon are more alert over the presence of the nine Ghostbusters.
• Although unrelated to the deity that is sister to Gozer, the Ghostbusters are not on friendly terms with Tiamat, especially Winston, who lost someone important to himself that no one else can remember as a result of Tiamat's actions.
• Have been hired by Mike and Sulley to help put a stop to the Bogeyman scaring children.
• They are keeping tabs on Jack Horner, on the grounds that he may still actually be a ghost. It also doesn't help that he was/is the Jack-O'-Lantern.
• Kylie Griffin makes frequent visits to the House of Knowledge whenever the main four Ghostbusters are on an active case, as the House of Knowledge contains information on all known ghostly deities or entities that inhabit the Pantheon, and she relays information she finds to them. She became close friends with Luigi, and often helps him when King Boo causes trouble.
• Melaine Oritz is not sure what to think of all the aliens in the Pantheon, or of Agents K and J, since her first run-in with the Ghostbusters involved a case of the ghosts of Human soldiers who handled Roswell popping up as "alien ghosts", and since her mortal partner in the FBI was obsessed with ghosts.
• No one in the Pantheon is really fond of Ron Alexander, especially the ghosts who are aware of his tenure as a Ghost Smasher, who dispersed ghosts instead of captured them. Also, he hates children who annoy him. He tried to bust Casper once when the friendly ghost called him out on his attitude. Regardless, his technological genius is still acknowledged, having been able to reverse-engineer the technology originally developed by Egon and maintain it.
• Peter Venkman loved the fact that Janine Melnitz was finally ascended to the Pantheon, if only because he got his secretary back to handle all the paper-work for him. Meanwhile, Winston was happy that he and Janine could change hands from time to time on managing the three mad scientists of the group. A general consensus among their allies is that the Ghostbusters is that the ship began running much more smoothly since Janine ascended, showing how well she held the business together.
• The Ghostbusters immediately put the Rookie to work with testing out some prototype equipment, modified to deal with the new varieties of ghosts, spirits and Gods to be found in the Pantheon. He reassures himself that he can still come back even if he does get blown up, now that he's a God. Nevertheless, he already had some street cred as a professional Ghostbuster before the Tiamat Incident, having played a role in the Ivo Shandor Incident, and setting up his own Ghostbusters branch in Chicago.
• The Ghostbusters once had a run-in with an incarnation of Death as a result of Ron Alexander's screw-up with his original plan for dispersing ghosts as a Ghost Smasher. This Death was trapped in a magical bag for decades by Eugene Visitor, a friend of Egon's who seemingly died, which caused excess psychokinetic energy to build up, energy which Death was responsible for siphoning. Once released, Death quickly took care of the problem caused, which had manifested as a super-powerful Ghost that broke out of several dozen Traps linked to a Megatrap able to sap Gozer's essence.
  • Death of the Endless holds no grudge against Egon's friend, and is simply happy to have one of her children back. She simply advises them to make sure no one pulls the same trick on her.
• Gets along well with Ellen Ripley, even if sometimes they get scared of her destructive methods. Venkman has hit on her, and promised the Ghostbusters will always protect the child Ripley looks after (they know what happens if something goes wrong).

• The ascension of Nick Fury was marked by the arrival of the Helicarrier No. 64, a massive flying aircraft that can house thousands of personnel as well as various equipment. The temple is helmed by an aging man with grey hair and a bald black man with the face of Samuel L. Jackson, both of whom use it as their base of operation alongside various S.H.I.E.L.D. agents. To the surprise of many, this is one spymaster that doesn't mind getting his hands dirty, in either incarnation. That puts him at an advantage over his followers. Tales of his adventures can be found in various comic books and movies, only overshadowed due to the many, many other badasses that populate his universe.
• In case you're wondering, both the aging white man and the bald black man are Nick Fury. In fact, the black man is an alternate-universe counterpart of both the white man himself initially, and his mixed-race son and successor who was revealed later. Because of this, many have begun asking if not outright assuming that black Fury is white Fury's son even in his own worlds, and it's not uncommon to hear the white one referred to as Fury Sr. and the black one be called Fury Jr. to differentiate them both in the Pantheon. One or the other tends to appear depending on the company they're expecting. Some deities may prefer one over the other, and due to the hectic nature of the Pantheon both are likely to be needed at once, which is probably why both decided to ascend.
  • Wait, so how did they manage to both ascend under a singular trope with the same name? Technically speaking, they didn't; the deific title and name references one Nick Fury, intended to be Fury Sr. as he is the original. However, the combination of the younger Fury's adaptational origins and his transplanting into Earth-616 through the revelation of Fury Jr. created a particular opening for Loophole Abuse, allowing him to exist as both a herald to his father and a co-deity to the name and title of Fury. Both brought another herald to help sort out the paperwork, with Phil Coulson and Maria Hill initially being associated with one Fury or the other before working interchangably with both their bosses over time.
• Shortly after the ascension, the two met separately with various secret agents throughout the Pantheon. Whichever Fury appeared, all agreed to work with him to a varying degree. Some like James Bond work completely under him. Others like Kim Possible are given assignments but are not completely under his wing, treating it as a freelance occupation.
• Their relationship with superheroes varied wildly over the years. Sometimes they're willing to work hand in hand with them. Other times one Fury or the other gets chided for trying to coerce them to do his dirty work. Once in the Pantheon, most superheroes have complied to work with the man.
• Fury Sr. has still not forgiven Norman Osborn for the damage he had wrought during his time as Director of H.A.M.M.E.R. When criticised for his absence during that period, he scoffs it off, saying he was busy at the time.
• The fact that HYDRA already has a presence in the Pantheon before they arrived was a troubling discovery. That puts the Furys at a disadvantage, as HYDRA has more experience exploiting the system. They hope to quickly close the gap, tracking their members down before exposing them.
• HYDRA isn't the only evil organization Fury battles. S.H.I.E.L.D. also constantly butts heads with COBRA as well as former associates Baroness and Destro. They call for Duke whenever these villains are involved.
• They were intrigued that there was a woman who had similar connections in the DC Universe. The only difference is that she sends criminals and villains to do the dirty work for her. It's not a tactic that they are comfortable with (Tony Stark pulled a similar stunt with disastrous results), but do acknowledge it has its advantages. Amanda Waller has no qualms over the arrival of S.H.I.E.L.D. ... just as long as they don't get in their way. Surprisingly, the trio work together more often they are comfortable with.
• The Furys are on better terms with the mercenary Big Boss. FOXHOUND may be shady in its dealings with S.H.I.E.L.D, but he at least values his agents and the ideal of making the word a safer place. He's one of the first people to defend S.H.I.E.L.D on its actions. It took longer for Solid Snake to agree with this.
• As a being who thinks no one should be above the law, Judge Dredd observes Fury's actions with disdain. The only reason he hasn't actively sought after the men is that they do just as good of a job catching bad guys as other members in the House of Justice.
• Many were shocked to find out Fury wasn't even in consideration for the title God of Eyepatches. The Furys point out that as much of a badass as they are, they still don't compare to the historical feats Date Masamune has under his belt. The director may not be as excited for parties, but each is willing to hire Date for missions. As if that's scary enough, the three can be seen fighting together.
• One of the oddest partnerships is Fury Sr.'s association with the Punisher. One would expect him to stay clear from such a loose cannon, but they have been able to set aside their differences. Few Badass Normal pairings put fear in villains' eyes than the duo of Nick Fury and the Punisher.
• After his ascension, Fury Sr. told Xander not to call himself Sergeant Fury, just not to confuse anyone. A disappointed Xander complied, though he is still giddy about his ascension.
  • Neither does Nico on that matter. Still, rumors persist that the two spend their time watching the idol singers' dance routines.
• Rumors have long persisted surrounding S.H.I.E.L.D and the wrestling group called The Shield: what connection do these "Hounds of Justice" have with the organization Fury runs? For what it's worth, Fury Jr. has told others to consider them a "rogue element", hinting that they are connected somehow but don't necessarily take orders from him.
  • After a recent series of incidents involving Hawkeye, Black Widow, the Hounds of Justice, and others stopping a human and drug trafficking cartel from rebooting its operations within the Pantheon, which led to Shield member Seth Rollins having one of his seats moved to a different house, the speculation regarding their association has only intensified.
  • With Reigns ailed by leukemia and Ambrose swiftly betraying Rollins, The Shield was considered disbanded. Fury was just glad to not be getting asked about them anymore. However, the questions resumed when Ambrose revealed Victoria Hand helped the trio come up with their Shield names as well as officially shed his to be Jon Moxley once again. Fury was incensed, instantly having Moxley brought to his office to confront him on his flippant carelessness, only to find himself giving up in exasperation when all he got back was this:
  Moxley: I quit. I'm done with The Shield. I don't care anymore.
  • Later, Reigns came back and got Moxley and Rollins to reconcile for one last ride before Mox left The WWE Universe for good. Fury was oddly both relieved (mostly Sr.) and irritated (mostly Jr.) at the same time. Since then, both Furys came to accept the Hounds doing their own thing... until things fell completely off the hinges. Rollins became hostile to anyone critical of the office in WWE and his response to a series of failures saw his lowkey savior complex escalate to cult leader levels, while Reigns entered a temporary pandemic exile only to completely flip his personality into a despotic tribal chief all for the sake of leading his family. Moxley, whose stories both Reigns and Rollins would contradict in the press, is ironically the only former Hound of Justice that either Fury is still willing to reach out to for any occasional help going forward.
• They freaking hate the Black Organization, since he matched the description of their second-in-command, Rum. Has launched an internal investigation to make sure his agency has no hidden sleeper agents from the Organization.
• Fury Jr. refuses to ask how he gained his eyepatch, only stating that he let someone they trust get too close, and it ended up with some scars. The more embarrassing answer is that he got too attached to adorable kitty cat that was actually a dangerous alien called a Flerken, and one too many chin scratches caused them to scratch his eye out in retaliation. And Flerken claws are tipped with poison that won't heal.

• The Anti-Hero Half-Human Hybrid Demon Slaying son of an Ascended Demon named Sparda and a human named Eva who might have been a powerful witch. After losing his mother to demons as a child, Dante grew up to become a demon-hunting mercenary who runs his own devil-hunting business named Devil May Cry. Being half-demon, Dante has Super-Strength, Nigh-Invulnerability and a Healing Factor, along with the ability to transform into a demonic Super Mode called Devil Trigger. His weapons of choice are two custom handguns known as Ebony and Ivory, and a memento broadsword of his father's named Rebellion which he later fused with Sparda's own Devil Arm Sparda/Force Edge to finally form his true Devil Sword Dante. While often cocky, deep down he is a compassionate man devoted to fighting for the good of humanity and helping his friends. Still, he does like getting paid for it.
• Loves to kick back in his temple, also his mortal office and abode, to gorge himself on pizza. Has invited many of the "babes" in the various houses of the Pantheon to come along, but so far has not managed to get a positive response. Some of them — mostly C.C. — might have said yes, had the blonde demoness Trish not strenuously objected. With her guns. When Dante noticed her brandishing after scaring about the eighth person off, he questioned her as to why she has a problem with him having company, to which she instead pointed out that it was about where he planned on taking them. Specifically, bringing people from another reality into theirs, with no idea what that would do to the barriers between the human and demon worlds, was not a risk worth taking just for the sake of some R&R. Besides, at least half of them would've said no anyway because the place is furnished more like a saloon than a home office and the only food on hand is pizza. He agreed to cool it on the invites until he learned more about the Pantheon.
• Has found a good deal of common ground with Naoki Kashima, despite their very different attitudes. The two first met in combat, with "the kid" and his allies managing to fight Dante to a draw. After all that was squared away, Dante invited him out for pizza, his treat. Although, this time, it was within the Pantheon's grounds, just to make sure they wouldn't run afoul of Trish's concerns. Another fast friend he made was the dragonslayer Lina Inverse, who's about as ambitious as his twin brother Vergil (which is a lot) but carries a chipper and flashy attitude similar to Dante himself. He even got her to be a guest member of a team of hunters that he joined along with Buffy, The Hunter from Yharnam, and Mana. Unfortunately, she got ahead of herself during a treasure hunt of some sort and has been lost for awhile.
• Used to fight Kratos whenever they ran into each other in the Pantheon, but now they're so busy they only have time for the occasional impalement, so they've had to mostly settle for constant one-upsmanship in their adventures. The battles tend to spike up in intermissions between campaigns. Then there's also fellow Stylish Action hero Bayonetta, though Dante seems more fond of her. Maybe because they share similar styles. Or maybe because he likes hot girls that can kick ass like her. The two's natural charms led them to have a quite friendly relationship with one another, friendly enough that it would've made it awkward if they were related like some people thought, but it never got truly serious between the two because of Dante's personal hangups.
• There's been someone who's taking the name 'Dante' but has black hair, looks emo and likes smoking. Dante was not amused, and the result was that he and his followers would coin this guy 'Donte'. Over time, Dante had since grown a bedgrudging respect for the Nephilim demon killer, because if they take away the things surrounding his big name, this guy was actually a slick combatant on his own with his own style. As a result, whenever Dante was invited to some special contest but was too busy with his godly duties to attend, such as Polygon Man's Battle Royale or that special popular CAW League, he would ask his counterpart to cover for him.
  • VGCW's prerecorded announcer data presented the Nephilim boy with the call name "Don Take", which Dante thought was a decent enough idea that he himself started calling him that, often shortened to Take. The Battle Royale, however, did NOT take the news well. Fans were pissed off at the fact that the Nephilim was there instead of Dante proper. Contestants targeted the poor kid for embarrassment, such as when Heihachi Mishima sent him flying into the sky (even Dante laughed at this one). And Polygon Man himself, well, when he started abducting those who did not compete in his Battle Royale and forcing them to compete in Round 2, starting with Sora and Lightning, Riku warned Dante to keep an eye open for him, and he was right to do so. Polygon Man sent Caius Ballad to capture Dante, burning down his temple in the process, and got Master Xehanort to recreate a corrupted version of Take out of Dante's darkness (in a matter similar to Vanitas' creation). Dante was rescued by Raiden and would get payback on Caius by sending him the repair bill for his temple.
• More or less replies to Vergil's ascension with "So when's the next reunion party again?"
  • For the record, said "reunion party" could easily involve them either fighting against each other or working together depending on the circumstances. They'd been fighting since childhood until they got separated, with six climactic battles during Dante's demon-hunting career, though they also worked together against Arkham, Lady's evil father who sought to "ascend" from human to demonic god. They're moreso on the same page these days thanks to their Nephilim counterparts' friend Kat, who Dante looks out for, partially out of sympathy and partially as a favor to Take just in case the guy ascends. As for Vergil, well, Dante figures he has his own reasons. Vergil's alternate self, however, is not held in favor by any of them due to his treacherous actions, so they fully embraced the 'Vergin' nickname bestowed upon him. When Vergil got to finally see firsthand how far he himself could fall in his pursuit of power, he wound up calling Vergin "Urizen" to serve as his reminder. While gladly teasing Vergil about this, Dante decided to go with it, in turn for Vergil agreeing to defer Dante's 'Don Take' nickname for his counterpart instead of constantly calling him "the emo one".
• Contrary to popular rumor, the name of Sparda has never actually been Dante's last name in human legal terms. Its use as an identifier for Dante and Vergil instead originates from the demon world, coined by mutual adversaries out of respect for their father's power, before it became adopted by the Pantheon as a way to separate them from the Comedìa poets Sparda named them each after as well as any other namesakes who might arrive. He and Vergil have allowed this, though depending on when you ask, either one might be either annoyed or appreciative of it. Coincidentally, the Legendary Devil Hunter met the poet Dante when he broke up a fight between Alighieri and Vergil shortly after Alighieri's ascension. He admires the fact that Alighieri knows how to go badass when it's time to kill demons and monsters, even if he thinks the guy could be a bit less stuffy and uptight in general about things. It was shortly after that that the name of Sparda darkened the doors of the brothers' temples.
  • A certain alchemist captured the eye of the Son of Sparda, but not so much his respect. While he first saw her as a young lady with a bob-cut hairstyle, she had a certain acidic smell that reeked of old age and death, both literally and figuratively in terms of her personality. Lady did some research on this lady and found out that she shared Dante's name, also informing him that she attained her youthful appearance by using forbidden alchemy to hijack people's bodies. At this point Dante realized why he never could see her in a positive light, claiming that no matter how young and appealing the form she steals she will always give herself away a bitter, ugly, evil old hag.
• Gets a bit ticked off when people accidentally mistake him for Ken Masters, Sephiroth, Torin or Date Masamune. It's probably because they sound similar. He did meet Ken when he and Lady went on an adventure involving many other Namco and Capcom gods to stop the merging of their worlds. His first meeting with Torin came to heavy blows due to hearing about his Deboth roots and thinking he was a demon, but seeing his bravery and resolve in combat gave Dante enough pause to see that he couldn't be that bad a guy, and they ended up making friends. As for Masamune, it's not as certain how the two came across each other, but what is known is that their relationship is pretty good, to the point Dante even gave Masamune a spare outfit from his own closet to kick ass in. Basically, he's cool with all of them save Sephiroth. This is due to Sephiroth being worse than his brother, while having some similarities. In addition, he's also jealous about Sephiroth getting into Smash.
• Befriended the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles over their shared love of pizza. However, they are careful to ensure that there is an equal amount of slices for the five of them. One time, there wasn't enough to go around, and the fight for the last slice resulted in the near destruction of the House of Food. It took three weeks to put things back the way they were.
• Also mentioning that one time he was about to "fill Trish's dark soul with LIIIIIIIGGGGHHHTTT!!!" is going to erect a Face Palm from Dante as he tells the speaker to never mention it again. It was too cheesy even for his standards.
• Despite his fondness for Bayonetta, he's not exactly a huge fan of her father Balder, given the man's alliances with various demon lords despite being a Lumen Sage. However, he doesn't seem too surprised about this. His reply when he's asked why?
  Dante: Yeah, see, there's a reason I don't call on some God while I'm being paid to hunt down devils.
  • And then Jubileus and Queen Sheba were brought to the Pantheon. He's expecting to learn what it's like soon battling the angels too.
• Sometime after the DEATH BATTLE! between Ragna the Bloodedge vs. Sol Badguy, Dante was sent to an unknown laboratory to investigate something, and dispose of it. It turned out to be some white-coated clone of Ragna and several Hakumen clones of unknown origin, the latter of which were all destroyed by said copy. Dante tried to kill it, but the clone Ragna managed to defeat Dante in precisely one minute, after which no one is sure what happened to the clone Ragna.
• Was scheduled for a DEATH BATTLE! against Bayonetta. For the first time in Death Battle history, their allies Trish and Jeanne invited themselves in and assisted their partners before eventually splitting off to clash with one another. Ultimately, Dante proved to be the superior one, slaying Madama Butterfly and skewering the Umbra Witch with multiple swords before blowing her up. Despite the good coin he got for his own victory, he found himself groaning at the sight of Trish coming back sore like Bayonetta was after being auto-revived.
  Dante: Really, Trish? You lost?
  Trish: I was expecting her to fight like a witch. She made use of summons, sure, but she fought more like a demon hunter. No doubt muscle memory from being the thrall of a sage.
  Dante: When I beat Bayonetta, she didn't take it too well. She's gonna use her friend's win to come in and try to settle the score someday.
  Trish: I'll let you say 'I told you so' when it happens. Just don't try to fill her dark soul with light.
  [Dante sighs]
  • While it was on a pre-engineered battlefield, the intensity of the fight still registered to him as part of his self-imposed lousy luck with women. It's likely Bayonetta blowing up was the moment he decided they would never be a serious pair, instead leaving the door open for the son of that reporter whose name he used to take as an alias.
• As of late, Dante has noticed that Sailor Mercury and Lady sound similar. What's strange is that he swears that this wasn't the case before.
• Has been hired to help Kimihito Kurusu and protect the Monster Girls from potential troubles. While at first he was hesitant and wanted everyone to believe it was only for the payment, Dante eventually warmed up to them and made friends with both Kimihito himself and with all of the girls. Likewise, at first the Monster Girls were scared and untrustful towards the demon slayer, but soon enough befriended him and came to accept his demonic heritage after seeing his good side as he helped them several times (being the son of the Legendary Dark Knight Sparda probably helped). These days he hangs around them, shares a place over dinner and helps out whenever needed, though he refuses to partake in any of the more humiliating tasks.
  • Feels mutually uneasy around Rachnera, Suu and Lala due to them reminding him of some of his past enemies, though eventually, they learned to respect each other and are on good terms. Meroune Lorelei and Centorea Shianus feel sympathy towards Dante due to having a tragic past and for Centorea due to being a fellow Half-Human Hybrid. The latter also challenged Dante to a duel but was quickly defeated effortlessly without being harmed at all. Dante told Cerea his demon blood gives him an unfair advantage, but assures he will never hurt her due to being a friend and making a promise he will protect them. While a bit ashamed and envious, Centorea values Dante as an ally, a fellow non-human and a superior swordsman even to this day.
  • Out of all the girls, Miia seems to be treating him the best (possibly due to being a red-skinned, yellow-eyed reptilian humanoid in his Devil Trigger form), something which has earned her the half-devil's friendship. However, she also acts slightly weird and shy, making everyone think she has feelings of attraction towards Dante. Miia obviously denies this and says she will never cheat on her Darling. Despite this, all the Gods and Goddesses have seen that she is happier when Dante is around her and sadder when he is away on his demon-hunting duties.
• After recently getting involved with a group of Capcom and Marvel heroes to stop a merging-of-worlds plot involving various villainous sides, Dante encountered Blade while trying to undo any remnant traces of the residue from this plan so that no demon lords could take advantage of any opening. He got a kick out of Blade talking like a black New Yorker despite being from England, asking who the Daywalker picked it up from.
• Was present when Maya summoned the Hunter Squad to her temple to accept Buffy's offer to join them, proposing that they in turn become the new Night Hand to replace her original order which had been slaughtered. The group agreed to this. When she later suggested to possibly bring in Blade, Dante backed her up fully and even went with her to recruit the black vampire; Blade accepted on a part-time basis just like Lina did before. Trish doesn't seem to like Maya very much, but he's not worried.
• Two of the rare instances on which Dante and Vergil agree on something relate to Alex Wesker. One, she sounds strangely similar to Nevan. Two? Well... she's batshit crazy.
• A few years following the job in Fortuna, Dante stepped back into the fray to confront the threat of an evil World Tree as well as an antagonist who stole Nero's devil arm. The antagonist? Vergil himself. Dante was encountered by V, the decaying human half of Vergil, after Vergil had ripped off Nero's arm and then cast his two halves into separate beings in order to heal from an intense state of corrosion, asking him to help stop the demon half, which V called Urizen after the William Blake character. However, once Dante finally did beat Urizen after several attempts by both him and Nero, V plunged the Yamato into Urizen to merge back into Vergil and Dante decided he had to be stopped. Between Dante finally telling both Nero and Vergil that Vergil was, in fact, Nero's father, Nero intervening to stop them both from killing each other, Vergil's new perspective on his humanity, his honor, and his power through the eyes of V, and Dante explaining that Eva got killed looking for Vergil rather than abandoning him to die like he'd believed for decades, the two set aside their differences and entered the demon world to both cut down the demonic Qliphoth tree. Along the way, they proceeded to spar with each other for at least a few weeks... and finally started seeing somewhat eye to eye as true brothers again.
  • Sometime after returning to the Pantheon with Vergil, Dante found himself, Nero, and the newly ascended Nico ambushed and kidnapped by a set of demons known as The Fiends, who wanted to harvest them for the power of their bloodlines. To everyone's surprise, it was Vergil who ambushed The Fiends right back in order to rescue his kin. The ensuing ride in Nico's van was awkwardly silent, as the brothers are still competitive with each other and Nico is the granddaughter of Dante's old gunsmith who Vergil had killed years ago, but Vergil didn't carry any air of malice about him before they dropped him off at the House in which his temple is located.
  • He also discovered the truth about Father Balder being freed from the control of the evil half of Aesir. That job from Morrison was how Lady and Trish kept the lights on when he was gone.
• Does not care about Nero being compared to Vega's follower Cody Rhodes, nor about Nero rooting for Cody's faction over that of AJ Styles just because he thinks AJ could pass for Dante if he were human and a redneck. The only important part is Vega taking note of Nero's girlfriend Kyrie. Dante has promised to skewer the claw-wielding pervert with his True Majin powers if he dares hurt a member of his family.
• Dante was in complete shock when he had heard news of his father ascending to the Pantheon. Not just his father, but even his own mother (as a herald). Both him and his brother were completely overjoyed to see their parents alive again. After a heartwarming reunion, Dante and Vergil were quick to inform them with everything that happened after the last time they were all together. Needless to say, they weren't impressed with some of the things they've been told. But his father did inform them that he was proud to see how much they've grown and matured. Both as people and as warriors. Sparda thanks Dante for continuing to defend humanity after his death.
• Some, including Vergil, have teased Dante about how he missed his chance to be with Bayonetta, given that the events of the Alphaverse incursion led to Bayo finally becoming official with that reporter's son as he joined her in death, not to mention the two sharing a child in another timeline. When he saw Cereza again after that, Luka and Viola were with her as her Heralds, and Viola told him first thing that there would be no more occasional flings between him and her mother. What ensued was Dante genuinely congratulating Cereza on slowing down long enough to accept Luka, as well as him and Bayo correcting the record about their relationship—they never "hooked up" as it were, they just used to flirt a lot—which quickly turned into a roasting session about Dante being bad with women.
  • After that bit of fun, He and Luka actually became fast buddies through Dante's familiarity with his father's texts, and he also found Viola to be an interesting kid, reminding him of both his nephew Nero and his own alternate self in a number of ways. Still, despite his gracious attitude, he seemed to be quite sullen when not interacting with them, something Trish quickly caught onto and questioned him about. In short, the Together in Death aspect of Bayonetta's upgraded relationship made everything sort of hit home about why he never gets serious with a woman, from both his own nature as a white-haired half-demon to the danger of his work as a devil hunter.

• In the early days of the Pantheon, crime rates courtesy of Nebulous Evil Organizations were at an all-time high, with the top hitters Hydra and Shocker reigning over American operations and Asian operations respectively. Nameless intelligence operatives targeting them were getting assassinated left and right. One day, the Pantheon Ascensions office and Court of the Gods made the call to a certain universe's Secret Intelligence Service. It was 'a call that changed the world'. News of the call shook the criminal world after its contents were divulged by a counter-intelligence operative for Hydra, and a number was name dropped. The number in question? 007. Every Elaborate Underground Base was looked over, every Kill Sat was checked for bombs, every Absurdly High-Stakes Game got double security, every Double Reverse Quadruple Agent except The Spy called in sick, and every Femme Fatale suddenly felt the need for a smoke and a cold shower. Their fears were proven right when an Aston Martin DB10 drove right through the express lanes of the under construction Janus Checkpoints and stopped in front of the House of Investigative Work. The man who stepped out of the car said:
  Bond: Let's get to work.
• Born to Andrew Bond and Monique Delacroix Bond in Scotland, James Bond's parents died in a climbing accident in the French Alps. He spent most of his early life in Switzerland and Germany with education in both the French and German languages, and also enrolled in Eton College and the University of Geneva. In his early adulthood, Bond enlisted in the Royal Navy where he became a decorated Naval Intelligence officer with endorsements from many chief petty officers and warrant officers. He would then transfer to MI6 in his early 30s and after several years of valued services, became the youngest agent with Double-O status - meaning he has a licence to kill. While talented at basically everything, Bond is prone to disobeying orders and going rogue, and that's led to years of missions that has formed the archetypal secret agent: a charming, suave tuxedo-wearing ace with a penchant for wines and hidden gadgets.
• Has slept with most of the Goddesses in the Pantheon, unless they're too young. Or in the case of Miaka Yuuki, has Virgin Power. That's something not even Zapp can say. Is currently trying to make Shizuru his latest conquest, but is failing. That's okay as he loves a challenge. Is also half monk, half hitman, which really does call his genealogy into question. Eternal rival of would-be casanovas Zapp Brannigan, Master Roshi and Johnny Bravo, though Bond doesn't really notice. Also an idol of Barney Stinson.
  • Still, there are a few women that seem too dangerous for him to bed, like Queen Medb (tends to react deadly to infidelity; to her chagrin, as she loves strong, capable warriors like Bond), Harley Quinn (sociopath with a possessive and dangerous criminal boyfriend), Quinella (seduces people in order to brainwash them), and whoever "good" suitors would be in the House of Demons.
  • While the Neptunia deities are eye-catching, Bond prefers not to go on them given they're mostly machine and their true forms are very young girls. He has shown some pity for Yellow Heart, who was abducted and forced into evil - not unlike some of the women 007 met, like the sex slave Severine and the heiress-turned-vilainess Elektra King.
• Even if part of Bond's persona is his womanizing, the Pantheon decided to correct one of the biggest tragedies of his life and put as one of his heralds his wife Tracy Bond, who was shot dead on the way to their honeymoon. The others are one of his recurring allies, Felix Leiter, and the one Bond Girl\Woman who managed to return between movies, Madeleine Swann.
• Given his MI6 support is yet to be ascended, Bond was forced to look for replacements. He joined the GUAG Intelligence Division, answering directly to Nick Fury. To have another Q, Bond went into the House of Technology, and while there Lisbeth Salander deemed him familiar, approached 007, and a courtesy lay later, accepted to do any hacking work he might need. Many of Lisbeth's housemates in the Technological Experts sub-house were honored to meet such a legendary character and have moved forward to providing Bond with cool cars and gadgets for his missions. They don't even mind that they usually aren't returned in good conditions.
• As the most famous spy of fiction, Bond was soon approached by many secret agents and detectives, many of whom are delighted that 007 is now in their House.
  • He even turned out to accept Austin Powers, who is clearly a parody of himself (specially as Powers' former nemesis Dr. Evil has 007's own Arch-Enemy Blofeld as a high priest; Evil himself said he has given up on lawbreaking, but Bond still keeps a close eye on him lest he falls back).
  • Sterling Archer, who follows/mocks the Bond formula a bit too close, has become a rival of sorts. Bourbon is also trying to prove his superiority to 007.
  • 007 was amused that one of his imitators was a giant rodent, the Secret Squirrel, and during their first conversation, Bond asked if his superiors could make a dinner jacket version of that trenchcoat that seemingly stores everything.
  • The WOOHP Spies do all they can to work with Bond, who has also accepted to teach them whatever they need. 007 noticed they seem infatuated by his presence, but given Alex, Clover and Sam are still high schoolers, he does his best to dismiss it - better than be caught romancing teenagers!
  • The two candidates for "World's Greatest Detective" have different approaches to Bond: Batman is a fan even if he does not kill and hates guns, helped by being raised by a former British soldier, and has provided 007 with some of his gadgets; but Sherlock Holmes is trying his best to prove to Bond that his approach relying only on brains and deduction is better than the investigation with gizmos and brutality.
  • Chuck Bartowski looks up to Bond, who while he thinks he's too soft to be a real spy, commends the skills he possesses and how to apply them in unconventional ways.
  • Napoleon Solo and Ilya Kuryakin, being spies who rode on Bond's coattails and downright had input from 007's creator, earned his attention and he made sure to congratulate their ascension, but the U.N.C.L.E. agents are on two minds regarding Bond, especially his treatment of women and brutal methods. Still, one can find the three men sharing drinks and exchanging Cold War stories.
• Already liked by superheroes for being a cultural icon who even without powers is endurable and capable of stopping crime, Bond became specially close to The Incredibles, as he recognized their adventures as heavily influenced by his own during the 60s. Edna Mode is even thinking about branching out to highly-equipped tuxedos for 007.
  • One group that eluded Bond was the Guardians of the Galaxy: Star-Lord pushed Gamora away before she fell for him, leading a puzzled Rocket and Groot to follow them. So all that was left was Drax, and both became slightly suspicious of each other since Bond usually sees guys of that body type as henchmen (and Drax himself seemed familiar), and Drax wasn't too inspired by 007's rude-yet-polite persona. Yet both appear willing to work together if the situation calls for it.
• Assassins are more of a mixed bag compared to spies, with hitmen such as Agent 47, Hit and Katsumi Daido often going after people who Bond intended to capture or use for information. At most he accepts Ezio, who admittedly has good intentions.
• When Bond's covertness is questioned (there is even a theory that Bond is supposed to be less of a spy than a troubleshooter that attacks first, asks questions later by picking up what the enemy left in their response), given he introduces himself with his full name, goes after every woman he meets, causes a trail of damage everywhere, drinks on the job, etc., 007 shuts them up by questioning how many world-endangering threats they stopped.
• Being a Long Runner, Bond at times had to keep up with other heroes that appeared in his off-years. Two of those have become his friends, Indiana Jones (who even admits 007 is sort of a father to him) and Jason Bourne (who questions Bond's investigation methods, but eventually got along as 007 even incorporated some of Bourne's mannerisms in his reinvention).
• Likes to have a drink with Roger Thornhill, who Bond admires for having survived an ordeal fit for a spy like him with barely any former training. Both being cases of a Sharp-Dressed Man who got a Femme Fatale Spy's attention also helped! Sometimes they are joined in by Alicia Huberman, whose experience infiltrating enemy groups and seducing adversaries makes her a natural fit for the conversation.
• At times has to do his regular check-up in the House of Health and Diseases. They are impressed at how his body seem to be mostly scar tissue, and prefer not to disclose how many sexually-transmitted diseases Bond has contracted over the years.
• Bond metamorphoses into a new form every few years, which some gods find bewildering despite knowing the out-of-universe reasons. However, every form he takes is unfailingly handsome and charming, so the ladies aren't complaining. He even learned to somehow change his appearance freely between his six avatars to become harder to track.
• Prefers to spend his time with human, humanoid and such deities, as Bond wants to make his experience more grounded and level-headed, lest he can't make sense of anything anymore (which would be terrible for a man whose job requires deduction and quick thinking). At times he's challenged by things such as frequently stumbling upon an annoying fox who deems itself a master thief, or being pursued by a giant robot - after all, Megatron's original alt form was a Walther pistol similar to Bond's, making him abhor 007 even more than other humans.
• Upon hearing of Near and his journey of defeating Kira without even going out into the sunlight for field research himself, he was impressed and even invited him over for a game of chess…which Near bested Bond in. He also apologizes to Near for meeting Panty Anarchy, who was…charmed, by Near's childish looks, so to say.
• Has shown himself able to pilot any vehicle on land, water and air, plus a space shuttle, and thus is a highly requested driving teacher and invited to races of many kinds. Ever since Lacus Clyne had a brief fling with him (which Kira accepted because well, it's James Bond liking his girl!) and introduced Bond to the Gundam deities, some wonder if he'll show the same ability piloting mechas.
• Frequently seen drinking some Vodka Martinis, shaken not stirred, at the House of Alcohol. As such, it's not had to see him getting intimate with Cana Alberona. His constant patronage made the House also install a table to let others play Baccarat and Poker with 007.
• Has found plenty of people to avoid or put under investigation (totalitarians, sociopaths, terrorists, etc.) in the Pantheon - Bond even paraphrased an old uttering of his to say "Our Houses are full of people who think they're Napoleon or God." A few of those are manipulators who consider 007's old foes "stupid folks" and want to show him what a true menace is. One is Hannibal Lecter, who deemed the snarky, brute womanizer as someone who'd be fun to break apart by talking.
• History shows that Bond is not above requesting the assistance of mobsters and other criminals, so he is willing to work with crooks who are well-intentioned (Huang Lee), have some morals (Red), or are too weird to be considered a threat (Jack Sparrow, L). He is still wary of John Wick and John Marston, who might be retired but seem as two loose cannons, and deems Fat Tony too incompetent to be worth favors.
• Has high respect for Kung Lao, specially as him being a deity for killer hats keeps Oddjob out of the Pantheon, and Gru, for learning that supervillainy is not a way of life and even delving into espionage.
• Expressed approval for Gumball Watterson's attempt to mimic him, if only because it made Bond laugh.
• Being one of the most famous British characters, was soon hanging out with Harry Potter and the Doctor.
• Tintin just had to meet Bond as his life is also a succession of globetrotting journeys, often to stop crime. As they got together, Capt. Haddock joined in and challenged 007 to a drinking competition, which didn't go well for him as Haddock was soon very drunk and angry before passing out, while Bond seemingly holds his liquor very well.
• As an enforcer of sorts, is always present at the House of Justice, although the Wright Anything Agency deems him a bit too reliant in his license to kill - and dead lawbreakers cannot get to court! Athena at first was distrustful of him, as she does with every spy, but eventually figured out he has good intentions. And accepted Bond's invitation for dinner.
• Considers Roald Dahl sort of a Cool Uncle, as Dahl served with Bond's creator Ian Fleming in World War II, is also quite The Casanova, and wrote the script for You Only Live Twice.
• Pulls double-duty at the House of Naming Convention.

• Routinely makes visits to Willy Wonka when his candy supply runs low. When he heard of Vanellope von Schweetz's ascension, he also tried to get candy from her, but Ralph put a stop to that. He still goes and visits her for tea though.
• Despite having an elderly, mustachioed butler and being the world's greatest detective, he has never been seen in a room with Batman.
• Tends to slouch in his chair because it increases his reasoning skills.
• Sometimes tend to mistake Lan Hikari for Light due to their similar voices. Lan in turn does his very best to behave around L.
• Has become acquaintanced with the Mangakas Mashiro Moritaka and Akito Takagi (Ashirogi Muto) due to having the same creator, Mashiro looking just like him and Takagi admiring the manga he comes from.
  • Though he does have some conflicted feelings about Takagi in particular, who looks like Light and is a huge Death Note fan to boot. Also, the very fact that his lookalike is best buds with the Light lookalike puts him on edge. But he will admit he isn't similar to Light, personality-wise.
• Was quite pleased when he found out Near ascended into a companion house, even more so that it was also in the same house be he and Light were in, meaning more eyes to keep track of him. Also helps that Near also was the one who took down Light in the end. Is still confused if he used a Death Note or not to get Teru Mikami down to the warehouse, and has even asked the House of Knowledge's help for figuring it out. No direct answer has popped up yet.
• Was visited by Rem, for killing him to protect Misa. He responded by admitting that there were no hard feelings felt during the time due to them both being tricked by Light, and has promised to at least stop Misa from spending life in jail or being killed should she be caught. While she appreciates the sentiment, she prefers to have someone else arrest her.

• As their Flavor Text would tell you, these are simply nice grannies that will bake you cookies. In fact, that's all they're hired to do, being paid in cookies for the sake of making more and more cookies. And as you access more methods of cookie production, you'll find more and more types of grandmas that will bring you more cookies in their own way. While they seem to accept their role in your goal of extremely expansive cookie production, though with much snarking, your goal to optimize cookie production will lead you to find out things about the Grandmas that you wish you never know. By the time you've begun to regret your decisions, the Grandmapocalypse has already begun.
• The Pantheon was preparing for a big feast, and so some deities decided to go hire workers to produce the necessary food to fulfill the appetites of all the ravenous guests in the House of Food. Along the way, they found an application from some elder who wanted to work to bake cookies. The demand wasn't very high, so the application was accepted, and soon enough, a grandma would appear in the Pantheon to bake cookies. Then dozens more of them arrived. Then hundreds more. Soon the Pantheon was filled with a ton of elderly women who were producing cookies, whether by traditional baking, witchery, or by somehow hacking cookies in through digital means, the other deities didn't really mind at first, since millions of cookies were being produced for them. Given that all of these diligent workers were a granny, the grandmas were all allowed in the Pantheon holding the trope of Elder Employee.
• The Grandmas have their own unique ways of producing cookies for the Pantheon aside from traditional baking. Some grannies grow cookies like they're crops, mine cookies, creating cookies with magic or transmutation, or by producing more grandmas to bake cookies if they're Metagrandmas. There are also the Cosmic Grandmas which produce cookies in incomprehensible ways, and Antigrandmas made of Antimatter that are mean and vomit cookies, both types creeping out various deities. All of the cookies they produce are edible with no significant side effects, which has made cookies a very accessible treat for the Pantheon.
  • In fact, all the cookies that the Grandmas make can grow to excessive proportions, which makes their cookies a target of many gluttons in the Pantheon. The massive amounts of cookies being one of the few things to satisfy their appetite, the Grandmas always manage to ensure that visitors of the House of Food never leave with an empty stomach (unless they can't eat cookies, then tough luck for them). That said, the Grandmas oddly see the Hedgies as pests, especially Hammy who loves eating their cookies, though the animals always get away with a ton of cookies anyway. It's confounding that they dislike the Hedgies given how they don't mind other gluttons eating their cookies, though some theorize that it's just a "grandma" thing to not like critters eating their food in the way your average urban citizen doesn't like seeing a raccoon eat through their trash.
• At one point, Grandfather launched a devastating assault on several Houses in the Pantheon, turning thousands of victims into Senior Citizombies. Eventually, the spread reached the Grandmas, who would seemingly be easy targets since they're all already old ladies. Unfortunately for everyone, Grandfather's abilities would only lead to the uprising of the Grandmas' dark secret. When infected by Grandfather, instead of turning into Senior Citizombies, the Grandmas were initially angered, then gradually warped themselves into larger and larger monstrosities of flesh that only barely had resemblance of the grandmas they once were. Soon enough, Grandfather's forces were overwhelmed by large tendrils of flesh and dough that began to take over much of the Pantheon. In the chaos, the Kids Next Door managed to forcefully decommission Grandfather, though the spread of the Grandmas, now known as the Grandmapocalypse continued. Before it could get any worse, the Pantheon found out how to stop the Grandmapocalypse, performing an Elder Pledge that somehow reversed all the transformations the Grandmas went through, and like that, the Grandmas turned normal again. While the damage that the Grandmapocalypse caused was conveniently reversed, the Pantheon began to realize how much danger the Grandmas could pose when unchecked for.
  • Once Grandfather regained his memories, he was furious towards the Grandmas for not only ruining his conquest but by being elders that defied his enslavement. He tried to go after them again, but the GUAE warned him that the Grandmas seem to be the pawns of a greater force outside the Pantheon known as the Grandmatriarchs, with unknown amounts of power that may be out of his control, so Grandfather stays careful around them. Additionally, during the Grandmapocalypse, SCP-682 was also a victim that was almost absorbed by the expanding mass of flesh, getting trapped within a surge of grannies, but breaking out by force. The trauma of being attacked by eldritch grandmas haunts SCP-682 to this very day, and the two sides only have one thing to say about each other.
    Grandma: Absolutely disgusting.
• The members of House of Childhood and Adolescence isn't too sure what to think of them. Certainly, they like the cookies they bring, but the grandmas themselves are worrying. Despite rumors about their connections to the Grandmatriarchs, some still try to be friendly to the Grandmas anyways, which they appreciate. The grannies have recommended the children to call them more often or to visit them once in a while, for it would make them happy, as they claim. Iroh has also approached the Grandmas by having a tea party (he provides the tea just in case) with them, which always ends well for the lot of them. Iroh's wondering if treating the elders a bit better would somehow make the Grandmatriarchs a bit more gentle, if not more friendly.
  • As for the Hall of Mothers, some are concerned of whether becoming a grandma would potentially make them part of the Grandmas somehow. Or even worse, become vulnerable to the Grandmatriarchs and potentially being part of the Grandmapocalypse itself. The fact that there are grandmas from other universes within the collective of grannies doesn't help. As for the grandmas originally in the Pantheon before the hundreds of Grandmas ascended, they've stated that they've never felt anything strange when the Grandmas ascended. However, the presence of the Grandmatriarchs concerns them even if they're not directly in the Pantheon.
• Due to a rather traumatizing experience with Queen Vanessa, her spine chilled at hearing about the Grandmas who also had a reputation for being rather creepy elders to be near. The Grandmapocalypse itself was also something that Hat Kid witnessed from above on a floating island, which gave Hat Kid nightmares for days. Despite the temptation of delicious cookies, Hat Kid tries her best to keep away from them, which disgusts the Grandmas. When some learned about Queen Vanessa, an individual Grandma decided to visit her temple for a friendly conversation. One trip from the House of Life and Vitality later, the Grandmas have found Queen Vanessa to be far too unhinged and emotionally instable for them to tolerate.
• According to the Grandmas, their main employer is (Insert Name Here), who they unhesitatingly work for at times, though they don't have a lot of nice things to say about them. To the surprise of many, the Grandmas have complained that INH has sold Grandmas for cookies from time to time, which is another mark on the list of the more immoral actions that INH has done. When asked if they want some form of retribution against INH, their only responses were vague but ominous remarks like "it'll all be over soon" and "we are not satiated". And yet, the Grandmas continue to bake cookies with little need for payment, though they'd appreciate INH visiting them more often.
  Grandma: It has betrayed us, the filthy little thing.
  • Their statements on INH have gotten them in much conflict with both the Doki Doki Literature Club and ICEY who have a particular attachment to INH. While they're aware that INH has varying morality, something like selling a grandma for currency is something they can't really sit well with. The Grandmas don't really care much for their opinions, and actually lament about the ways of young love when on the topic of those deities.
• The KND themselves don't appreciate the presence of the Grandmas, seeing them as more antagonistic adults with a sinister agenda of their own. They also believe that they may have a relation to Grandma Stuffums, an adversary of theirs that used to be in the Pantheon. In particular, they believe the Grandmas were sent by Stuffums to fill up the stomachs of kids with cookies in her place. The Grandmas themselves don't think highly of the Kids Next Door, deeming them as rather annoying children that should learn to respect their elders more.
• Rick Sanchez once visited a world full of greasy grandmas while being chased by the Council of Ricks. While the Grandmas here certainly aren't greasy, they still worry Rick, who believe the Grandmas are related to the Greasy Grandma World somehow. Their affable yet cranky nature doesn't really help dispel his paranoia, let alone the fact that some like the Cosmic Grandmas are fleshy abominations. Taking steps to avoid encounters with them, he's warned Marty that regardless of whether they offer cookies or not, that accepting any invitations from them will lead to dreadful consequences.
• Jane Marple decided to investigate the Grandmas for the sake of understanding how they can initiate the Grandmapocalypse. Trying to not appear suspicious around them, she appeared as another friendly old lady who wanted to play bingo. The Grandmas complied to her request and brought her to a large bingo center in their temple to obviously play bingo. While not finding their behavior abnormal at all, during a break she found a secret within the bingo center, revealing that it was some research center for "Grandma cookie production maximizing", and one particular development stood out to her: At one point, the Grandmas were given some upgrade that boosted their production of cookies but also granting the Grandmas a Hive Mind of some sort. Deciding that it was evidence enough, she brought the info to other investigators to analyze, worrying some about how "normal" the Grandmas really are. After said investigation, Marple does occasionally visit them whenever she wants to take a break from investigating, relaxing among them out of her own interest, since the Grandmas are friendly though a bit annoying toward her, and harmless outside of the Grandmapocalypse.
• When it comes to appeasing the Grandmatriarchs to prevent future Grandmapocalypses, the SCP Foundation has taken responsibility of managing the docility of the Grandmas. To them, the Grandmas are simply another SCP for them to handle and research, and hope to understand more about the Grandmatriarchs that the Grandmas are connected with. The SCP Foundation routinely goes through with an Elder Pledge, which involves "anti-aging cream, cookie batter mixed in the moonlight, and a live chicken", according to descriptions of the ritual. There's also the option of the Elder Covenant, which can permanently halt the return of the Grandmapocalypse until it is revoked by choice, but that involves sacrificing a human infant, which the Pantheon would rather not go with.
  • Another big reason that the SCP Foundation doesn't go through with the Elder Covenant is that it can be broken by a willing party, which would put said infant sacrifice to waste. Unfortunately for the SCP Foundation, the Sarkites, who all worship the prosperity of flesh over steel want the Grandmapocalypse to occur, having witnessed the flesh of the Grandmas spread throughout the Pantheon firsthand. They don't know if the Grandmatriarchs are related to the deities they worship, but at the very least, what they grant the Grandmas under them could grant much progression to their goals. Ever since the first Grandmapocalypse in the Pantheon occurred, human grandmothers have been considered sacred to them.
• Charlotte Linlin sent some of her minions to gather some of the Grandmas to work for her, wanting more cookies to satisfy her Sweet Tooth appetite. To her surprise, the Grandmas joined her without any resistance, and simply went to work making tons of cookies. In fact, the only issue Big Mom has with them is that the Grandmas' cookie production can go out of control sometimes, but the surplus does help whenever Linlin's on one of her hunger pangs. It also helps that Linlin herself is a granny given that some of her many daughters have been mothers themselves, so they're on speaking terms as well. The Grandmas don't really care about Big Mom's own agendas, and just want to make cookies in peace, though they participate in Big Mom's parties whenever she decides to have one.
• Eustace Bagge considers the Grandmas to be welcome company given their similar attitudes, though even the Grandmas find Eustace to be a bit too much for them at times. His wife, Muriel, on the other hand, gets along with them all of the time, and Muriel appreciates their visits, exchanging baked foods with each other. Courage, while glad they aren't hostile to his caretakers, dreads their presence, somehow seeing through their grand-motherly facade and knowing of the Eldritch Abomination within. And Courage hasn't even met the Altered Grandmas yet!
• Squidward likes to whine about work with the Grandmas, both having a lot of complaints to give about their job, while continually performing their work all the same. The Grandmas in turn give him cookies to eat after conversations with each other are done, which Squidward found to be notably moist, not that's a problem given that he lives in Bikini Bottom all the time. Flo is another worker who serves food all of the time, who the Grandmas all like for her work attitude, admiring her as an ideal employee that the youth should see as an example. The Grandmas are also customers at her own restaurants from time to time, and they're patient customers, although occasionally the Grandmas pay Flo in cookies instead of money.
• Hansel and Gretel were terrified of the Grandmas, believing that their production of mountains of cookies was too good to be true. What they've heard about the Grandmatriarchs only added to their worries, and neither did some of the witch grandmas among the masses of grannies. However, when they gave in to their temptations to eat up their cookies, they snuck in and feasted upon all the cookies they found. They were found out by the Grandmas, but were mostly friendly and let them walk about as they pleased, with occasional complaints of their rambunctious behavior. They eventually left after a grandma's random remark about "moist cookies" that creeped them out a little.
• All the cookies in the Pantheon resulting from the Grandmas' work has brought up a necessary question: Got milk? The Grandmas just collectively shrugged at the question, stating that they don't manage the milk. When asked further about who does, one replied: "Doesn't this place have some Hall for cats? Go ask them." While it made sense that cats would have some relation to milk in their universe(s), the deities from the Hall of Felines not only have no response to the Grandmas but would really prefer not to think about them either.
• While Santa Claus doesn't exclude the Grandmas from his duties, he keeps a special list of nice and naughty deeds done by all "Grandmakind" for good reasons. You certainly won't see him drop his guard when giving gifts to the Grandmas, with said Grandmas having varying reactions to mild annoyance or at worst, going on insanity-inducing rants that may or may not instigate the Grandmapocalypse early. The Grandmas are convinced that they've done nothing wrong to warrant suspicion from Santa, but Santa does see through them, and at times he wishes he didn't. Either way, their presence means more cookies for him when he's giving out presents, and that's unambiguously great for him.
• To the disapproval of many, the Grandmas get along with Dolores Umbridge, even if it's not a particularly notable friendship. The Grandmas seem to overlook or ignore the more nasty actions that Umbridge has done to her students, or don't find it to be a big deal to them. Usually, they chatter with each other about how their days are going, or rambling about some problematic children. While Umbridge is concerned about their connection to the Grandmatriarchs, she's convinced that it's not a problem that she'll directly deal with in the future, so she tolerates the Grandmas in turn.
  • The actions of Granny Goodness are much more harder to ignore or justify, so even the Grandmas don't really like her. Granny Goodness doesn't view them too highly either, seeing them as more people to be enslaved under Darkseid's regime. However, she too is intimidated by the Grandmapocalypse, having been one of the victims of the Pantheon's first Grandmapocalypse, and getting absorbed by them in the process.
• During the Grandmapocalypse, there were strange fleshy creatures called Wrinklers slithering about in the Pantheon. They notably feasted on every cookie they found, and never targeted humans or anything else aside from cookies for that matter. Once the Grandmapocalypse ended, they exploded into more cookies, so large piles of cookies would be found in random areas. Members of the House of Science want to find a way to replicate these Wrinklers, seeing them as good for cleaning up the leftovers of feasts and the many cookies produced by the grannies that get left everywhere, to ease up labor for the Pantheon's janitors.

"We're nice grandmas."
