Pantheon: Knowledge
Knowledge and Intelligence

The House of Knowledge, like the other Houses of the Pantheon, is bigger on the inside than the outside. There are no dead ends; each room opens onto other rooms, which are interconnected. Most of the House is a Library so vast that it is always capitalized, big enough that strange beasts live among the shelves in their own bizarre ecosystem. It's said that if you know where to look, you can find anything that could be stored on a shelf within it, from the novel you imagined on the bus to the Holy Grail. Unfortunately, what with the sheer scope and the nonsensical organization, it's pretty difficult to find anything specific on your own - there are hints that it was all organized neatly once, but since then there was a lot of hasty reshelving. Like all libraries, it is part of L-space.

The rest is primarily given over to reading rooms, laboratories, and testing chambers, but there is at least one classroom and a humming bank of enormous dusty computers moved out of the House of Technology. There are also labs located in the basement of the House, but they are wholly dedicated to weird and mad science. Few have the courage to venture down there to find out what dastardly experiments are being performed.

Some sections of the Library are open to all visiting mortals, extremely minor deities, and the gods of the Pantheon, some require Yomiko's permission to access, and some are sealed off. There is a minor Vashta Nerada infestation in the Young Adult section.

Jupiter, Maiden of Secrets
  • Greater Goddess
  • Symbol: A green astrological sign of Jupiter
  • Alignment: Neutral Good
  • Portfolio: The Five Faces Of Eve, Fate, Stars, Necessity, Inscrutable Plans, Koans, Secrets, Truth and Lies, Revealed Truths, Conspiracies, Planning and Manipulation
  • Domains: Balance, Destiny, Fate, Good, Knowledge, Mind, Oracle, Patience, Planning, Trickery
  • Allies: The Unconquered Sun, Luna, the other Maidens
  • Followers: The Sidereal Exalted, particularly the Chosen of Secrets
  • The Maiden of Secrets determines when information of any kind is found, hidden, lost, or rediscovered. Her talents have added more to the Library's collection than any other deity, and she is the ultimate arbiter of what is and isn't available for public access.
  • Rumored to be the only being in existence capable of comprehending the actions of Giygas.

Yomiko Readman, Goddess of Records (The Paper)
  • Lesser Goddess
  • Symbol: A book...any book
  • Alignment: Neutral Good (True Neutral if it involves books and not people she cares about.)
  • Portfolio: Badass Bookworms, Moe Characters, Sexy Nerds, Extreme Bibliophiles, Hot Middle-Aged Women Who Wear Glasses, Paper Masters
  • Domain: Creation, Inquisition, Knowledge
  • Followers: Miyuki Takara (Lucky Star), Yuuno Scrya (Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha), the Librarian (Discworld), Wan Shi Tong (Avatar: The Last Airbender), Patchouli Knowledge (Touhou), Second Assistant Librarian Lirael of the Clayr (Old Kingdom trilogy), the Cat Formerly Known As Cheshire (Thursday Next)
  • Allies: Yue Ayase, Harriet Vane, David Sirlin
  • Official keeper of records for every house in the Pantheon. Her temple more or less is the Library. Rarely leaves it due to her total immersion in her work, both mentally and physically. Yuuno Scrya became her chief priest after he entered her Temple, the Infinite Library. Naturally The Librarian falls into her portfolio as well.
  • Can no longer leave the House of Knowledge due to plotting by the Evil Gods, but she doesn't really want to. Her herald The Librarian does all her errands for her, as he is the master of L-Space travel and truly loyal to his Head Librarian. Worshippers of Evil-oriented gods have at least once tried to get to Yomiko through her herald, but they made the mistake of saying the word 'monkey' during the caper, and... Orangutans are very strong.
  • Some of the more diplomatic Evil Gods realize that Yomiko has somewhat of a blind spot in ascertaining motives. As long as they're polite about it (and don't mention the 'monkey' word) her Library and related book distribution centers can be used to transport Death Notes and other tomes of eldritch lore. Yomiko will want to read them first, of course, but her attunement and enjoyment of reading cancels out any Brown Note effect they would have on her otherwise. She won't even realize there is one. This can only go for so long, however, until the less-patient "Chaos"-aligned gods screw it up somehow, often involving blowing up readers and libraries. It takes months to get into her good graces with bribes of classical first editions; until then, it's tough to get copies of The Necronomicon.

Deadpool, Destroyer Of The Fourth Wall (Wade Wilson, Merc With a Mouth)
  • Lesser God/Overdeity (depends on how much the writer is willing to let me look past the Fourth Wall)
  • Symbol: My belt buckle icon of myself (which I KNOW you totally want one, buddy) with a yellow text box. Oh, how fun they are! :)
  • Alignment: Chaotic Neutral is what they say I am, but I just say I do whatever the hell I want, bub!
  • Portfolio: The Fourth Wall (or the lack of it), Breaking Said Fourth Wall, Medium Awareness, Obfuscating Insanity, Whatever The Heck I Feel Like (I'm awesome and kinda fickle that way)
  • Domain: Comic Books (yes, the medium I'm in is my domain), Big Guns, Katanas, Welsh Corgis
  • Followers: Lots... but none of them know of it, and if they did they'd deny it out of humility.
  • Allies: Um... no, I don't think I have any...
  • My knowledge of the Fourth Wall allowed me to just slip into the Pantheon easily, since I know I'm popular enough for you(yes, you!) to eventually think of putting me here. Yeah. I'm such a Manipulative Bastard, eat your heart out, Batman!
  • Interestingly, with my expanding popularity, my Medium Awareness has also expanded, since I'm, slowly but surely, being featured in different media beyond comic books, and I have Medium Awareness in every single one of them. Soon, I will be able to overthrow all of the other deities in all the pantheons and create Deapoolia! COWER BEFORE MY LIMITLESS KNOWLEDGE! BWAHAHAHAHA!!!
  • Oh yeah, and I want to be featured in the cover of the next Street Fighter game, Capcom!!

Albert W. Wily, God of Mad Science (Dr. Wily)

The Brain, God of World Domination Schemes, and Guaranteed Failure

Indiana Jones, God of Instinct, Pragmatic Combat
  • Demigod
  • Symbol: Fedora and a Bullwhip
  • Alignment: Chaotic Good
  • Portfolio: Whips, Dangerous Archaeology, Spur-of-the-Moment Plans, Last-Second Escapes
  • Domain: Luck, Investigation, Travel
  • Followers: Mal, The Arbiter, John-117, The Punisher, Ash
  • The patron saint of player characters. Is determined to have nothing to do with either Orochimaru, Voldemort or Luna, due to a pathological fear of snakes. Never forgets his hat.
  • He's also hoping to find an opportunity to pay back Chuck Norris for that bone shattering kick.
  • You would not think that he would be at home among the Library's shelves, but between the giant bookwyrms and lumbering thesauri, there is plenty of adventure to be had. Somewhere, the Holy Grail sits forgotten on a shelf, and some day, Indy will find it. Besides, 70% of archaeology is done in the library anyway.
  • In some other life, it is rumored that he was a great smuggler who fell in love with a rebel princess. He's not all that sure himself. Part of the reason he rarely leaves the shelves is because Jabba the Hutt has something against Indy, and wants to talk to him. Indy says "He's a wonderful human being, but I'll pass." Jabba has been banned from this House since that incident with the gravied pages, so he never shows up here.

Jamie Hyneman and Adam Savage, Gods of Busting Myths
  • Demigods
  • Symbol: Buster the Dummy
  • Alignment: Lawful Neutral (Jamie), Chaotic Neutral (Adam)
  • Portfolio: Myths, Science, Edutainment, Unconventional Teaching Methods, Explosions
  • Domains: Knowledge, Explosions, Invention, Explosives, Fire, Exploding
  • Followers: The build team (MythBusters)
  • Currently testing the myth (submitted to them by Nabeshin) that "Explosions fix everything!!" They've performed several dozen test runs at M5 but have yet to reach a definite conclusion. So it's off to the Alameda Sheriffs' Bomb Range (or, as Adam calls it, "the Happiest Place on Earth").
  • They get along pretty well with MacGyver, sometimes asking for him to build something so that they may replicate the results of something, because replicating the circumstances didn't work out.

Daniel Jackson, God of Communication

Samantha Carter, Goddess of Sane Science
  • Quasideity
  • Symbol: SG-1 badge superimposed on an exploding star
  • Alignment: Lawful Good
  • Portfolio: Intelligence-based party members, Reverse Engineering Alien Technology, Hot Scientists
  • Domains: Inquisition, Knowledge, Mind, Travel
  • Is annoyed at the fact that the only achievement everybody remembers her for is blowing up a sun.

Rodney McKay, God of Science Gone Horribly Wrong

Obi-Wan Kenobi, God of Mentors (Ben Kenobi, Old Ben, OB-1)
  • Lesser God
  • Symbol: A lightsaber
  • Alignment: Lawful Good
  • Portfolio: The Force, Well-Intentioned Lies, Calmness In Death, Spirit Advisors
  • Domains: Force, Mind, Mysticism, Spirit, Wisdom
  • Followers: Albus Dumbledore (Harry Potter), Splinter (Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles)
  • Having lost a planet 30 years ago, Obi-Wan browses the shelves looking for it, as he tells anyone who asks.
  • He very rarely leaves this House these days, although once he was a very active member of the House of Defense. If asked, he might just say that he's looking for that planet. He has never confessed to simply waiting.
  • Frequently the God of Ascended Extras and the Rebellion will find him, talk to him, and eventually ask him to help out - he and his are up against Vader and Thrawn(sometimes) and the Death Star and the Imperial Missile Boat and the Emperor himself! Obi-Wan feels a little guilty about leaving them like this and not wanting to face Vader yet, so from time to time he does go out briefly. At other times, he contacts Mara Jade to give her the go-ahead to leave Mary Suetopia and help them in his place.
  • Said God of Ascended Extras and the Rebellion was played by the uncle of the actor who played young Obi-Wan. Both of them are aware of that. It's part of the reason Obi-Wan lets Wedge find him. When he does leave, it's in his younger form, which is ironically younger than Wedge. At those times he wears armor, hides his face, and tries to pass as just another pilot/commando. Since the pilots are based in the House of Defense, where Vader works, there have been many close calls.
  • Readily saves people who are threatened by the House's fauna, including the squinting degenerated descendants of those who got too caught up in their research. He can make an eerily realistic imitation of the threat-call of the greater thesauri. Scares smaller creatures right off.

House, God of Medicine (Dr. Gregory House, M.D.)
  • Lesser God
  • Symbol: A Walking Cane
  • Alignment: Chaotic Neutral
  • Portfolio: One Liners, Doctor Jerks, Jerkasses, Jerks With Hearts of Gold, Men Who Sport Eternal Five O'Clock Shadows.
  • Domain: Healing, Chance, Luck, Wrath
  • Followers: Owen Harper (Torchwood), Simon Tam (Firefly), Meredith Grey (Grey's Anatomy), Ratchet (Transformers)
  • Formerly the domain of Dr. Cox, but House challenged him to an epic battle of wits and while Cox gave rants that tore the world asunder, House's one-liners dealt far more damage, and Cox was deposed. Legend has it that Dr. Cox is now Walking the Earth among mortals and is awaiting retribution.
  • Currently banned from the Library section, having desecrated a lupus textbook to hide his drug stash.

Sir Isaac Newton, DEADLIEST SON-Of-A-BITCH-IN-SPACE!, God of Physics

Gordon Freeman, God of Analytical Badassery

Ned Bigby, God of Students (Big Bee, Mop-haired Kid)
  • Demigod (Still has to make up the Lesser God exam...)
  • Symbol: Black-and-white Converse Chuck Taylors.
  • Alignment: Aims for Lawful Good, often has to settle for Chaotic Good.
  • Portfolio: Junior High, High School, all School Tropes by extension. Takes special responsibility for helping New Transfer Students fit in and cheering up Emo Teens.
  • Domains: Knowledge, Planning (hah!), Luck.
  • He doesn't know where everything is, but Ned takes great pleasure in showing visitors where the basic sections (transforming lead into gold, structural engineering, quantum dynamics, the History of Aviation, the bathrooms, birdwatching...) can be found. Expect a minor adventure on the way.
  • Steve Urkel reminds him a lot of one of his friends. They hang out on the weekends. Ned may or may not have been part of Adam Young's Them when he was younger, and from time to time wonders why he's grown up and Adam hasn't.
  • Several Trickster Gods have attempted to swap his Guide with Light Yagami's Death Note; so far it's been an even number of tricksters on any given day so we still don't know what kind of hilarity would ensue.
  • Is thankfully not subject to Luna Platz's attempts to control him, being a few years older than her.

The Bigpond Guy, God of Ass Pulls ("Dad", The Rabbit Guy)
  • Quasideity
  • Symbol: The Great Wall of China, a Rabbit
  • Alignment: True Neutral
  • Portfolio: Ass Pulls
  • Domains: Making Things Up On The Spot, Keeping Rabbits Out. There's too many rabbits in China.

Report Siht, Deity of Examples (This Troper, Report Shit)
  • Lesser Deity (Genderless)
  • Symbol: A bullet-pointed list
  • Alignment: True Neutral
  • Portfolio: Examples, Bold Inflation, Purple Prose, Those Whose Codename Is Mary Sue
  • Domains: Knowledge, Planning
  • Followers: Alice and Bob (and Aerith)
  • Allies?: (insert ally names here)
  • Report Siht is allegedly universal, but its power has been diluted somewhat in recent years by his left- and right-hand heralds, Alice and Bob.
  • The genderless, vaguely-defined characteristics of Report Siht make some people wonder if it might be related to Insert Name Here. Come to think of it, though it's hard to tell, no one's ever seen them together.

Steve Urkel, God of Nerds (Stephan Urquelle, Bruce Lee)
  • Lesser God (Higher when he uses the Bruce Juice serum.)
  • Symbol: His Nerd Glasses
  • Alignment: Lawful Good
  • Portfolio: Nerds, Butt Monkeys, Dysfunctional Families, Inventors
  • Domains: City, Invention
  • Followers: Napoleon Dynamite, William Cranston (Power Rangers)
  • Was originally a follower of Milhouse, until it was realized that Milhouse was not a nerd, 'cause "Nerds are Smart", at which point he deposed his former master by knocking him out as Bruce Lee.
  • Has caught the interest of the Council of Shadows over his Bruce Juice serum.

Jeff Albertson, Unpleasable Fanboy Extraordinaire (Comic Book Guy, The Collector)

Suiseiseki and Souseiseki, Twin Goddesses of Meme Theory (Desu and Boku)

Yue Ayase, Goddess of Intelligent Magical Strategy (Philosophastra Illustrans)
  • Lesser Goddess
  • Symbol: Juice Box
  • Alignment: Lawful Good
  • Portfolio: Great Big Book of Everything, Badass Bookworm, The Philosopher, Shorter Means Smarter
  • Domains: Libraries of any shape or size.
  • Allies: Yomiko Readman
  • Followers: Miyazaki Nodoka, Hermione Granger (Harry Potter), Lute (Fire Emblem)
  • Yue often spends time in the Library, it has plenty of books that interest her and aren't connected to her Orbis Sensualium Pictus. She often brings food to Yomiko, who often forgets to eat anything but what the Librarian brings her. Goddess or not, one cannot live on bananas alone.
  • Knows where Obi-Wan's lost planet is. Unfortunately, she isn't aware that he's looking for it, so she'll probably never get around to telling him where it is.
  • Due to recent events, She is also being considered for the position of Goddess of Taking a Level In Badass, although some other members (*cough*Evangeline*cough*) are wary of giving her any more influence, as she's already in the Council Of Shadows, though her follower, Nodoka Miyazaki is certainly looking like a valid and able contestent for that position as well.
  • Nodoka recently proved her ability to take levels in badass and use them and make it look GOOD has caused her to be awarded the position over Yue, much to Nodoka's delight (it allows her more access to her "Sensei.")
  • Reports of a connection to Patchouli Knowledge are currently unsubstantiated.
  • Can be found hanging out with Shikamaru (House of Nature) in the House of Philosophy... as neither of them are connected to it so she can read while he takes a nap, without anyone asking them to do much.

Master Bordam Darlavon, Keeper of Badly-Translated Records ("Professor Boredom")
  • Lesser God
  • Symbol: Several encyclopedic volumes of the Zodiac Brave story
  • Alignment: True Neutral
  • Portfolio: Amusing But Ultimately Unhelpful Translations, Long-Winded Speech
  • Domains: Knowledge
  • Followers: Barry Burton (Resident Evil), Maechen (Final Fantasy X)
  • Allies: He thinks himself to be one with Yomiko, who'll read anything anyone writes.
  • Master Darlavon reportedly gave speeches to crowds all over the world, ignorant (for more than a decade) of the numerous spelling and grammatical errors contained within them.
  • If he offers to help, refuse. You'll be more confused than ever.

Sho Minamimoto, God of Numbers (Pi-Face, The Grim Heaper, Tabooty)
  • Lesser God
  • Symbol: A black baseball cap
  • Alignment: Neutral Evil
  • Portfolio: Mad Mathematicians, Insufferable Geniuses, Ensemble Darkhorses, Freaky Loners, Annoying Catch Phrases That Get Stuck In Your Head, Taboo Noise Transformation, Zetta Sons-of-Digits
  • Domains: Knowledge, City
  • Enemies: Neku, Zetta
  • Minamimoto singlehandedly built his throne and his temple using crushed beer cans and scrap metal, reciting tetrahedral numbers in his head to make sure everything was to his exact specifications.
  • Was seen minutes before his ascension spray-painting the words "You're so zetta slow!" all over Count von Count's castle. The words later came alive in the form of bat-shaped Noise and beat the Count to a pulp, since he lacked the Player Pins necessary to fight them. Has recently realized that gained him one...one very dangerous enemy! Ha Ha Ha Ha!
  • Likes attending Cirno's Perfect Math Class for lulz and laughs at Cirno's zetta idiocy at teaching math to those factoring hectopascals.

Eikichi Onizuka, Great Teaching God (Great Teacher Onizuka, GTO)

Jade, Goddess of Intrepid Reporters (Shauni, Miss Thyrus)

Josiah Bartlet, God of Political Integrity (Jed, Mr. President)

Walter Bishop, God of Fringe Science
  • Lesser God
  • Symbol: Fringe Patterns
  • Alignment: Chaotic Neutral
  • Portfolio: Omnidisciplinary Scientist, The Smart Guy, Mad Scientist, Genius Ditz, Idiot Savant, Cloudcuckoolander, Bunny-Ears Lawyer
  • Domains: Intelligence, Insanity, Experimentation
  • Followers: Peter Bishop
  • Is the go to guy for the House of Defense whenever something unexplainable happens. Chances are, Bishop had performed an experiment for that exact phenomenon and has the data to rationalize it... if you're willing to overlook his many personality quirks.
  • Luna Lovegood and Osaka are regular visitors to Bishop's basement laboratory and have started calling him "Grandpa Bishop", much to Peter's annoyance. They've even let him into the Council Of Cloudcuckooland, but he rarely attends meetings due to his experiments.
  • Also keeps a cow in his laboratory. No one has dared ask why.

Homestar Runner, God of Ditzes
  • Intermediate God
  • Symbol: His propeller cap
  • Alignment: Neutral Good
  • Portfolio: Former Fools, Being Out To Lunch, Being A Really Big Kid, Having a Hawd Time Speaking Pwopuhwy
  • Domains: Love, Luck, Stupidity, Trickery
  • Followers: Patrick Star (SpongeBob SquarePants), Chris Griffin (Family Guy), T-Rex (Dinosaur Comics), Italy (Axis Powers Hetalia)
  • Allies: Marzipan (off-and-on), Strong Bad (he thinks they're allies, anyway...), Ayumu Kasuga
  • Rivals: Squirrel Girl (his greatest rival in the All-Squirrel Football League)
  • Everybody loves the him! He's a terrific athlete!
  • During the Free Country Wars, Homestar Runner ruled over Marzistar/Homezipan alongside Marzipan, until Strong Bad was able to trick King Homestar into bringing Coachnya into the war against Marzipan's wishes. The country then dissolved into East Marzistar and East Homezipan.

Aya Shameimaru, Goddess of Paparazzi News And Rumors (Aya Syameimaru, SHAMEIMARU, ZUN's girlfriend, Fucking Gossip)
  • Lesser Goddess
  • Symbol: The Bunbunmaru Newspaper logo.
  • Alignment: Chaotic Neutral
  • Portfolio: Paparazzi, Wind Power, Exaggerating Things, Killing People By Taking Photos, Being a Crow Tengu, One Girl Newspaper Manager, Rumored Author Favoritism, Super Speed
  • Domains: Knowledge, Wind, News
  • Rival: Jade
  • Enemies: Yoichi Hiruma for hoarding his info
  • Aya manages the Bunbunmaru Newspaper alone, using it to spread some rumors around the Pantheon. To keep things interesting, she has used some exaggerations, but that sometimes doesn't sit well amongst the Gods. Articles and editorials penned by Sally Floyd and Floyd's followers have appeared in the newspaper under rather clumsy pseudonyms.
  • Although Aya had her ethics, she is not above peeking much into some of the Gods' private lives. Some regard her as Jade's Evil Counterpart (although she is not inherently evil).
  • Apparently there are rumors - not started by her, she swears - that because Aya was the girlfriend of one of the Pantheon's good men, ZUN, she bribed him to get her a position. Neither she nor ZUN has confirmed this.
  • Doesn't think so highly of the mortal Paparazzi newscaster Khalisah al-Jilani. Even her snide insinuations, disingenuous assertions and tabloid journalism made Aya Face Palm.

John Lloyd and John Mitchinson, Gods of Interestingness (The Two Johnnies)
  • Demigods
  • Symbol: The QI logo
  • Alignment: Neutral Good
  • Portfolio: Interesting Arcana, Comedic Education
  • Domains: Inquisition, Mind, Knowledge
  • Followers: The QI Elves, Stephen Fry
  • Enemies: Alan Davies (well, not really an enemy, but he does spent a lot of time getting quiz answers wrong because of them)
  • It is said that since becoming gods, they spend their entire time researching the most obscure and interesting elements of the Pantheon's history. This has made them a target for the Council Of Shadows, but somehow the genial atmosphere of the panel show defuses any hostilities directed towards them once the Council's minions actually get there.
  • Thrawn appreciates what they do as a useful service, even if they are too free with any and all information.
  • Be wary when trying your luck at answering the questions that they pose, even — especially — if the question seems straightforward and the answer obvious. They do not punish wrong answers so much as they punish boring ones.

Davros, God of Science Gone Bad

Sherlock Holmes, God of Deductive Reasoning (The Consulting Detective, Sigerson, Holmes)
  • Demigod
  • Symbols: A deerstalker hat, a magnifying glass and a pipe
  • Alignment: Lawful Neutral
  • Portfolio: Intensely Perceptive Deductive Reasoning, Consulting Detectives (Especially those with Colourful Personal Lives and Eccentric Habits), Extremely Obscure Evidence Detection
  • Domain: Law, Knowledge, Order, Mind, Inquisition
  • Allies: The Doctor, Hercule Poirot (even though both would at best grudgingly admit it.)
  • Followers: Dr. John Watson, Detective Robert Goren, Adrian Monk, Basil of Baker Street (who lives beneath Holmes' floorboards and is his Mouse World counterpart), Conan Edogawa/Shinichi Kudo and Hakuba Saguru. The last two are notable for coming into occasional conflict with one Heiji Hattori, a disciple of Ellery Queen.
  • Repeatedly insists that the deerstalker should not be his symbol, and claims to have rarely worn one. As a result of its ongoing association with him, is frequently heard to bemoan his decision to let Dr. Watson chronicle his exploits, and is frequently heard to curse "that damned artist!"
  • Has developed something of a feud with Gregory House, considering the doctor's methods to be an amateurish substitute for his own. House has responded with a war of practical jokes.
  • Has taken to indoor target practice in the Library, shooting a copy of Queen Victoria's initials on the wall next to a fireplace. This irks Yomiko and the other patrons of the Library considerably.
  • Frequently consults with those from the House of Justice when a particularly complex matter comes before them; however, he is more interested in solving complex mysteries than bringing the guilty parties to justice, and has been known to let a guilty party go free if he is sufficiently convinced that their motives are sympathetic and their reasons for crime not without merit.
  • Along with Erwin Rommel, Robert E. Lee, Hannibal Barca, and Alexander the Great, Holmes is Thrawn's father. Holmes is a little disturbed by that factoid. He'd like to think that he would actually remember an orgy like that.

Hiruma Youichi, God of Blackmail

Hershel Layton, Ph.D, God of Puzzles (Professor Layton, The Professor)

Violen Jiger, God of Questionable Romanizations

Grand Admiral Thrawn, God of Military Geniuses (Mitth'raw'nuorodo, Thrawn, Commander/Captain/Colonel/Admiral Thrawn)
  • Demideity
  • Symbol: A pair of all-red glowing eyes on a blue background, or the Imperial crest
  • Alignment: To his enemies, he seems Lawful Evil, or Lawful Neutral in some cases. To those who serve under him, he seems Lawful Good. No one really knows.
  • Portfolio: Magnificent bastardry, strategy and tactics, art, an odd alien name, those whose plans may lead to greater good, Practicality, Flexible Plans, Valuing His Resources, Knowing When To Cut His Losses, Awesome by Analysis, Overcoming Fantastic Racism
  • Domains: Law, Nobility, War
  • Followers: the Silverberg family and Lucretia Merces (Suikoden), Zhuge Liang (Romance of the Three Kingdoms), Narsus (Arslan Senki), Darth Revan (according to Kreia)
  • Will kick your ass while admiring how you must have held your paintbrush during your magnum opus. He's a surprisingly good shot with a blaster, and his men are all fantastically loyal. Of late he has began to command the 501st Legion to very good effect.
  • Commands the Imperial Missile Boat, but has so far only had to call it down to take out an enemy once.
  • Currently dead. Or is he? Yeah, he is. Had a few clones set up, and now waits for the right time. Being dead and in the Pantheon isn't as big a deal as being dead in the rest of the galaxy.
  • There was a time when Grand Admiral Thrawn and Lord Haverlock Vetinari had never been seen at the same time. It passed.
  • There are hints that he is disdainful of the House of War - as one who is generally reserved and very good at the strategic side of war, he stands out among the screaming hordes of fighters. It's hard to tell - he hasn't confided in anyone. At any rate, he has also joined this house, and spends most of his time here or examining things in the House of Craft.
  • Thrawn is here partly because of his relationship to Sherlock Holmes. Combined with the various other people who contributed to him, this heritage allows him to practice an almost obscene version of psychoanalysis on people and cultures by studying their artwork, using it to identify weaknesses in their thinking or perception patterns, and then exploiting said weaknesses in devastating ways. He's got a bit of the Information Age in him.
  • Is very careful to stay on Yomiko's good side, and although he was initially unfamiliar with books that had pages, he got used to them. A lot of the bits of data he picks up seem trivial, but he pieces them together alarmingly fast.

Lieutenant Columbo, God of Obfuscating Stupidity

Cirno, Goddess of Idiots (Baka, Nine-ball)
  • Lesser Deity, despite her claims of being "the strongest!"
  • Symbol: A figure 9 in a circle
  • Alignment: Chaotic Neutral
  • Portfolio: Ice Fairy, Ditziness (or sometimes complete idiocy), Boasting
  • Domains: Ice, Magic, Stupidity
  • Allies: Ralph Wiggum, Tinkerbell, Dan Hibiki
  • Opposed by: Suwako Moriya, a non-Pantheon goddess associated with frogs. Her rivalry with Cirno is both fierce and adorable. Also, Wart.
  • Ascended to a Lesser Deity rank after starring in her very own game and even managing to give trouble to Marisa Kirisame, Goddess of Black Magic, in a duel.
  • Likes to share her "wisdom" in her 'Perfect Math Class'. Smarter members of the Pantheons join in just to laugh at her theories. That, or not even the smartest gods have figured out she thinks in base nine.
    • An alternate interpretation is that the perfect math class is not a math class at all, but a sarcastic and witty philosophical lesson teaching us that maths are not the most important in life. But Cirno can probably not count anyways.
  • Rumor goes Cirno is in fact one of the most intelligent gods in the Pantheon, pretending to be stupid in order to achieve some complicated master plan (perhaps taking over some greater god's position?) It has also been speculated said plan would be put into action on 09/09/09, or Cirno Day. This has been proven false. Whether this means she is really an idiot or whether the plan is simply not yet ready to be put into action remains unclear. The new rumor goes that the plan will be ready by 09/09/2099.
    • The alternative theory, that the Cirno Day plan was successful, but was such a subtle plot of sublime beauty that it operated on a level beyond everyone's comprehension, is patently ridiculous.

The Old Man Of Wandering Mountain (The Author)
  • Greater God
  • Symbol: A plain-looking book with the image of AURYN upon its cover.
  • Alignment: True Neutral
  • Portfolio: Writing Reality, Inescapable Reality
  • Domains: Knowledge, Fate, Patience
  • Allies: Very few, as very few know him. The Childlike Empress is one of the few to have met him, and yet is his exact opposite.
  • His job is to write down all that is and all that happens into a magical book. Everything that happens is written by him into the book, and everything that he writes into the book happens. As a result, he is at the same time one of the most powerful and powerless gods in the Pantheon; the book is reality itself, but he cannot change what has been written, and he cannot write anything that does not happen. He remains in isolation, away from most of the pantheon, in order to write without distraction.

Hari Seldon, God of Mathematics

Nico Robin, Goddess of History (Ms. All Sunday, Demon Child)
  • Lesser Goddess
  • Symbol: Cowboy hat and Cherry blossoms
  • Alignment: True Neutral
  • Portfolio: Adventurer Archaeologist, Badass Bookworm, Dark Action Girl, The Stoic.
  • Domain: History, Artifacts, Reading
  • Allies: Luffy, Roronoa Zoro, Nami, Usopp, Sanji, Tony Tony Chopper, Franky, Brook
  • Enemies: World Government, Those who destroy history
  • Her knowledge of the lands that spans many centuries allows her to easily fill in the void of the Pantheon.
  • Has read every book in The Library as well as donated her own set of books to it.
  • Spends most of her time learning the history of other worlds, since her own native world's history has so few parallels to most others.

Tony Tony Chopper, God of Combat Medics

Mordin Solus, God of Surprisingly Lethal Healers

Councilor Sparatus, God of Dismissing Claims

Skuld, Goddess of the Undiscovered Country (Alternate Universe character interpretation from “the Open Door” by Academia Nut)

Micah Sanders, God of Young Prodigies (REBEL)

Hercule Poirot, God of Sherlock Holmes imitators
  • Lesser God
  • Symbol: A neatly trimmed mustache.
  • Alignment: Usually Neutral Good, even though it can range into Lawful Neutral territory.
  • Domain: Detective Work
  • Profile: Poirot Speak, Obfuscating Stupidity
  • Followers: Arthur Hastings, and most John Watson imitators.
  • He won this title over all others by basically becoming a carbon copy of Holmes, except for one slight difference. The difference was that he solved cases through psychology, while Holmes solved them through science. Mostly.
  • Also, every single story he is in has at least one Shout Out to Sherlock Holmes.
  • He and Sherlock have a rivalry to see who can solve mysteries in the Pantheon faster. The score as of now has Holmes winning by a few cases. When told this, however, by Gods who want to incite trouble, Poirot just smiles and states that they both have solved all the cases, Holmes just does it slightly faster.

Cave Johnson, God of The Pursuit of Pointless Knowledge

Aerith Gainsborough, Goddess of Long-Spoiled Spoilers (Aeris, The Flower Girl)
  • Demigoddess
  • Symbol: Her hair ribbon
  • Alignment: Neutral Good
  • Portfolio: White Magician Girls, Magically-Inclined Mysterious Women, Martyrdom, Dying,
  • Domain: Spoilers, White Magic, Protection, Light
  • Allies: Most good-aligned Final Fantasy deities.
  • After her ascension, someone hung a flashing neon sign reading "SHE DIES" over her resting quarters in the Pantheon. It's become a sort of running gag among the more mischievous gods to come up with some sort of humiliating punishment should they come across someone surprised by said sign. Thus far, no victims have been reported.
  • It has been said her position came with a book containing knowledge of every spoiler and plot twist in every work of fiction that does, has, or will ever exist. Fortunately for everyone she's kept a close eye on it and is considerate enough to not reveal anything too drastic from its contents. However, she has mixed feelings about her death being listed on the first page.

Philip and JK, Gods of Teenage Knowledge Brokers
  • Lesser Gods
  • Symbols:
    • Philip: A Cyclone Gaia Memory
    • JK: His Memetic Hand Gesture—his arms crossed and his hands forming a 'J' and 'K'
  • Alignment: Neutral Good
  • Domain: Knowledge Broker, ability to get information on anything
  • Portfolio:
  • Followers: Kamen Riders
  • The two ascended around the same time after finding out about the Pantheon. Philip claims that he was going through the Gaia Library and found and interesting book, going as far as to ramble off to the Pantheon without knowing. JK, on the other hand, got some connections and immediately rushed toward the Pantheon to obtain his seat.
  • Philip is able to access the information of the Earth itself. However, a very minor setback is that once he is fully absorbed in one subject, he won't stop stop talking, nor stop searching until he knows everything about said subject.
  • JK knows everything about everyone in the Academy and has set up an incredible amount of connections amongst the Pantheon. The only thing that's stopping him from using it for evil is his Undying Loyalty to Gentaro and the Kamen Rider Club.
  • JK is known to hang out with Ryutaros every now and then for a dance battle. He will not, however, join Ryutaros should the Imagin start shooting stuff down for fun.
  • JK is known to host a little something called "JK Night" every now and then. Be forewarned that this is also around the same time that Pinkie Pie also hosts her magnificent parties. The Gods are worried about the complications of the two combing their own parties into one big extravaganza.
