Pantheon: Mentalism
Mentalism and Trickery

The House of Mentalism is a very very dark place. No, not figuratively, but literally. Nobody really knows what the House of Mentalism looks like because there's no lighting to speak of. Most people would think that because the House of Mentalism is predominantly occupied with villains, that they are just trying to hide their identities. However, the truth the matter is far more mundane. The deities within are so busy plotting, conspiring, backstabbing, and manipulating each other that they forgot to install adequate lighting. As a result, there's only one lightbulb for every square mile.

(The Council Of Shadows' meeting chamber is down below the main Mentalism council chamber. Somehow, it's even darker than the rest of the House.)

Leto II Atreides, God of Prescience, Memory, Religious Manipulation, and Long-Term Planning, (Master of Fate, Pawn of Fate, Shai-Hulud, Shaitan, the Worm Who Is God, the God-Emperor, the Divided God, the Tyrant)
  • Greater God
  • Symbol: The Atreides Hawk
  • Alignment: Lawful Good, Lawful Neutral, Omniscience Morality License by the time of his ascension to God-Emperor
  • Portfolio: Psychic Powers, Genetic Memory, Ancient Conspiracy, Sending in the Clones, Half Human Hybrids and of course, Sand Worms.
  • Domains: Time, Space, Ecology, Religion, Memory, Oppression
  • Followers: The Zensunni fanatic Fremen, his all-female Fish Speaker army.
  • Anyone else other than Tzeentch who thinks they head the Mentalism faction does not. Leto II sees all and rules all through his exclusive control of the Spice Melange, key to raising human awareness, and through his perfect prescient vision. He also possesses the heightened senses and physical abilities of a Sand Worm.
    • But that still hasn't stopped him from having to go to Congress to beg for $108 billion to bail out the CHOAM Company. They said no.
  • He is also currently in a heated legal battle with the Imperium of Man over who exactly owns the copyright to the title "God-Emperor". Given that the Imperium's idea of legal proceedings in this area involves chainswords and flamethrowers, the case is progressing somewhat slowly. The God-Emperor himself, though, doesn't really care.

Tzeentch, God of Change, Hope, Ambition, Manipulation, Scheming and Sorcery (Changer of Ways, the Architect of Fate, the Weaver of Destiny, the Grand Schemer, the Great Conspirator)
  • Greater God
  • Symbol: The number 9
  • Alignment: Chaotic Evil
  • Portfolio: Magnificent Bastards, Manipulative Bastards , Gambit Roulettes, plans, More than Mind Control, Cosmic Horror
  • Domains: Change, Hope, Ambition, Manipulation, Scheming and Sorcery
  • Followers: a horde of Chaos Space Marines SPESS MEHREENS sorcerers and eldritch suits of power armor animated by the bound spirits of their former wearers.
  • Enemies: The Status Quo
  • The undisputed Head of the Mentalism Pantheon, Tzeentch has his hand in everything, from who gets greenlit into the pantheon to what kind of cereal you eat in the morning. There have been countless attempts by his rivals and underlings to usurp his position, but he has so far thwarted them all, because he has a plan for everything. Everything.
    • (insert obligatory Batman joke here)
    • The irony of ironies is that, being a creature of primordial Chaos, Tzeentch does not have an ineffable plan or master scheme to work towards, and instead manipulates others for the sheer joy of it. The fact that it appears that he has an agenda beyond this is testament to his terrifying talent.
  • Some other deities may believe that they are the true power of the House of Mentalism. They're free to delude themselves; in the long run, they'll be revealed to merely be one more pawn in Tzeentch's endless scheming, and it amuses him to play along in the meantime.
    • Mention Squirrel Girl, The Doom Marine, Jurgen, or the Angry Marines around him, and he just starts twitching in fear. Try it. It's fun!
      • There have been rumors about an incident involving Dorothy and Toto. They have been fully denied.
  • Has been found to have been the driving force behind The Incubators system for starving off Entropy. The system has since been changed, while earning the ire of Madoka Kaname and Homura Akemi. The Incubators, while not having the capability to feel anger/annoyance, have since been keeping an eye out for more trickery, especially since witches continue to pop up every now and then.

Jupiter the Maiden, Goddess 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, 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
  • May or may not be manuevering Leto and Tzeentch into their feud for control of the House to conceal the fact that she is the real power of the House of Mentalism. When questioned on the matter, she smiles and says nothing. Well, what were you expecting from the Goddess of Secrets?

Light Yagami, God of Strategy (Kira)
  • Lesser God
  • Symbol: A Black Notebook
  • Alignment: Lawful Evil
  • Portfolio: Well Intentioned Villainy (especially Knights Templar), Jumping Off the Slippery Slope, Justice, Foreign Sounding Names, Disproportionately Dramatic Moments, Gambit Roulettes, Xanatos Speed Chess, Ominous Latin Chanting, Victims Of Foe Yay, Magnificent Bastards, Visions For a Better World, God Complexes, Ubermenschen
  • Domains: Deathbound, Destruction, Evil, Inquisition, Planning, Retribution
  • Followers: almost all of Japan
  • Dominic Deegan is plotting for his spot, but Light already has plans for him in case he does (especially for Lelouch Lamperouge and Dominic Deegan). Has allied with Dethklok, officially to kill off opponents during their concerts, but has gotten used to their music. (Under their earthly avatar "Bloody Valentine.")
  • Zhuge Liang, the Sleeping Dragon, is merely biding his time.... That or his wife is keeping him from taking the job for fear of his working himself to death again.
  • Has manipulated Ichigo and Ryuk into representing different views of the afterlife (or lack of). The fear of death can be used to change society; and it's the unknown of death that causes the fear. If even the gods can't agree...
  • Disgruntled at Popeye for only selling spinach, not potato chips that he can eat epically. And that he can't write his name on the Death Note because the power of Death Note is compelled with the power of spinach (he tried once).
  • Hatched a plan to twist the look of Simon Belmont. It succeeded, now Simon looked like him and Light hoped to use him as a necessary scapegoat whenever necessary. It turns out that he is trying to remove all traces of all Castlevania good guys from the Pantheon, citing them as one of the main obstacles of his plans.
  • Has joined forces with Emperor Palpatine and is helping him with his secret plans to stage a coup d'etat against the Main House as his new apprentice, Darth Kira. Those aware of this are secretly amused, and are counting the days until Palpatine recruits a new apprentice, and the old one dies. Again.

David Xanatos, God of Backup Plans (The Fallen, The Once and Future King)
  • Fallen Lesser God
  • Symbol: A castle atop a tower
  • Alignment: Lawful Evil
  • Portfolio: Magnificent Bastards, Manipulative Bastards, Corrupt Corporate Executives, plans always have some kind of payoff
  • Domains: Evil, Law, Planning, Tyranny
  • Followers: Hans Gruber (Die Hard) Chase Young (Xiaolin Showdown)
  • He may be fallen now, but this is all part of his plan to one day usurp the throne of O-Haruhi-sama.
  • "And lo, when the Blue Dragon was laid low by the frost and flame, did Overlord Xanatos steeple his fingers and smirk." Xanatos 3:16. Phase two is complete.
  • Batman, Yuko, and G-Man are the only members of the Pantheon he comes even close to considering equals. After all, it doesn't pay to underestimate your competition. Phase 3 is complete.

Bruce Wayne, God of Preparations (Batman, The Dark Knight, The Caped Crusader, The Goddamn Batman, The World's Greatest Detective)
  • Theme Song: When in a serious mood, this. Otherwise, Nanananananananananananana Batman!
  • Greater God
  • Symbol: The Bat Signal
  • Alignment: Neutral Good (and every other alignment at some point)
  • Portfolio: Technical Pacifists, Badass Normals, Rich "Idiots" With No Day Job, Parental Abandonment (more specifically, Those Whose PARENTS ARE DEAD!)
  • Domain: City, Darkness, Night, Planning
  • Keeps a special notebook he wrote that describes in detail how to take down every other god and goddess in the pantheon should they ever become Fallen. He's impossible to defeat as Batman can figure out how to destroy any being in the universe as long as he has time to prepare... except for Fred Rogers. Spends his not-preparing-time mentoring Shikamaru Nara, and as a result has gained the names and faces of all those members of the Council of Shadows.
  • Is rather pleased he no longer has to play Bat-Mailman since his latest charge ascended, but still must deal with Temari sometimes to get said charge motivated. If there was a woman that ever did fit "troublesome"...

Sosuke Aizen, God of Mind Manipulation (Captain Superman, Evil Superman, Captain Broken, The Other Sasuke)
  • Greater God
  • Symbol: An Arrancar mask fragment
  • Alignment: Lawful Evil
  • Portfolio: Gambit Roulettes, Mind Control, Dissonant Serenity, God Complexes, Really overpowered abilities
  • Domain: Death, Mentalism, Mind, Trickery
  • Is powerful enough to get a handful of Intermediate and Lesser Gods to do his bidding. The only being able to resist his mind control is The Brain (being an anthropomorphic mouse). And technically Toph, as she can't see him.
    • No mere spirit can confound the mind of Doom with petty mind control tricks! Just ask the Purple Man.
    • However, Sasuke Uchiha can see him.
    • Frustratingly, Lelouch proves to be immune as well, although Lelouch has admitted it may be that the Geass he has from his various counterparts and having an immortal's code are likely to mess with any mental trickery.

Revolver Ocelot, God of Treacherous Advisors and Magnificent Bastardry
  • Demigod or so he says. In reality a Greater God in line to become Overdiety.
  • Symbol: A revolver
  • Alignment: Chaotic Evil NOT
  • Portfolio: Evil Chancellors, Cool Old Guys, Double Agents, Gunslingers, Evil Hands, Artificial Limbs, Chronic Backstabbing Disorder
  • Domain: Wrath, Darkness, Army, Cunning
  • Formerly the High Priest of Xanatos and Patron Saint of Assassins, he attained divinity by betraying him to Azula. And then betrayed Azula right back when the opportunity arose.
  • Once entered a contest Aizen over who is a better strategist. It is still ongoing after 200 rounds.
  • Through careful manipulation of events, he has greatly increased his own power while simultaneously seeing Azula dethroned, leaving him at the head of the subpantheon of betrayal...for now.

Spock, God of Logic
  • Greater God
  • Symbol: The Vulcan Salute
  • Alignment: Lawful Good
  • Portfolio: Logic, Half Human Hybrids, Straw Vulcans, Spock Speak
  • Domain: Law, Mentalism, Mind
  • Is closely allied with Captain Kirk of the Time and Space Pantheon, and friendly rival to McCoy. He is attended by Data, Seven of Nine, and T'Pol. His High Priestess and heir is Yuki Nagato.
  • One of the sacred words of his followers is "Fascinating," and is used with utmost reverence. Anything not worthy of the term is deemed merely "interesting."

Shinobu Sensui, God of Misanthropy (Dark Angel)

Johan Liebert, God of Sociopathy (The Antichrist, The Monster, The Next Hitler)

Kane, God of Magnificent Bastards, Evil Prophets, Doomsday Cults, Ambiguous Evil, Heel Hate, and Contractual Immortality (The Prophet, Cain, The Granddaddy Of Them All).

Goo, Goddess of Imagination (Goo Goo Gaga)

Lucy, Goddess of Psychic Powers (Nyu/Nyuu, Kaede)

The Question, God of Conspiracy Nutters (Vic Sage, "Nutjob", "That Kook")
  • Lesser God
  • Symbol: A question mark
  • Alignment: Chaotic Neutral (or possibly good. He wouldn't fill out Their questionnaire)
  • Portfolio: The Crazy-Prepared, Conspiracy Theorists, Crazy Survivalists, The Awesomely Insane, Ancient Conspiracy, Government Conspiracy, The Milkman Conspiracy — Oh, To Hell With It: All Conspiracies
  • Domains: Illusion, Trickery, Shadow
  • Allies: Fox Mulder
  • Subscribers to His Newsletter: Bosco
  • Fought for the position with Rorschach, until they realized they were essentially the same person, resulting in their fusion into a single, impossibly crazy sane super(or at least badass normal)-being.
  • Is on a neverending quest to prove the validity of all of Luna Lovegood's bizarre theories. He insists that he's proven at least half of them, but nobody can make heads or tails of his evidence.
    • Is the only man to know what the council of shadows is planning.
  • Is permanantly banned from the House of Life and Death for all eternity after getting caught several times trying to unplug the God-Emperor of Mankind from the Golden Throne.

Luna Lovegood, Goddess of Zany Theories (Loony)

Nagi Homura, Malevolent Trickster God

Claude Rains, God of Cynical Mentors and Invisible People

Mr. Miyagi, God of Trickster Mentors

Dr. Caligari, God of Ambiguous Sanity

Dr. Hannibal Lecter, God of Serial Killers (The Cannibal, The Cemetary Mink)
  • Greater God
  • Symbol: The Duomo, seen from the Belvedere
  • Alignment: Chaotic Evil
  • Portfolio: Cannibalism, Scheming, Magnificence, Being Delightfully Nuts, Hannibal Lectures, Sinister Intellectuals
  • Domains: Trickery, Planning, Manipulation, Evil, Intelligence, Hunger
  • Engaged in an epic battle of slightly off-rocker wits with Johan. Somehow this ended with a trip to a fancy restaurant for some martinis, wherein they slaughtered every last person for shits and giggles.

Havelock Vetinari, God of Politicians (Lord Vetinari, The Patrician, Thinking Tyrant)
  • Greater God
  • Symbol: Black coat-of-arms on black background
  • Alignment: Lawful Neutral
  • Portfolio: plans, The Vetinari Job Security, Chessmasters, Magnificent Bastards
  • Domain: Law, City, Tyranny, Planning, Trickery
  • Master strategist and manipulator with an eye for details, expert politician. Knows the nature of anyone he observes for more than a few minutes.
  • Followers: Although Vetinari is Lawful Neutral, most of his followers are Lawful (or Neutral) Evil, most notably Sir Francis Urquhart and Harry Saxon. Jed Barlett is a rare Lawful Good follower. Would-be followers of Vetinari who simply don't measure up include Cornelius Fudge and Jim Hacker. The jury is still out as to whether Harriet Jones qualifies as a follower of Vetinari, or indeed what her alignment is.

Lelouch vi Britannia, God of Rebellion (Lelouch Lamperouge, Zero)

Neku Sakuraba, the Lonely Empath ('Phones, The Anti-Sora)
  • Quasideity
  • Symbol: A red Player Pin
  • Alignment: Neutral Good
  • Portfolio: Telepathy, Ineffectual Loners, The Power of Friendship, Impossibly Cool Clothes, Individuality, Other Types of Psychic Powers
  • Domains: Mentalism, City, Oracle, Undead
  • Allies: Beat, Shiki Misaki
  • Enemies: Sho Minamimoto
  • Of the gods in the Mentalism house, Neku is the most likely to keep to Himself, as He still doesn't trust people. He is equally distressed by the ability to scan people's minds and hear their thoughts, but has since learned to harness this power to know the most dangerous gods and how to avoid getting on their bad side. His price for entry in the Pantheon was that He can never return to the human world.
  • Hates being painted as a stereotypical Emo Teen.

Xellos, God of Lovable Traitors (The Mysterious Priest, The Trickster Priest, The Dragon Slayer)

Slade, God of Hidden Agendas (Deathstroke, the Terminator)

Gendo Ikari, God of World-Destroying Betrayals

Adrian Monk, God of Hyper Awareness (Mr. Monk, Monk)

Grand Admiral Thrawn, God of Military Geniuses (Mitth'raw'nuorodo)
  • Demideity
  • Symbol: A pair of all-red glowing eyes on a blue background, or the Imperial crest
  • Alignment: To most of the Pantheon he seems Lawful Evil, leaning Neutral. 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
  • Domains: Law, Evil, Nobility, War
  • Followers: the Silverberg family (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 Thrawn has been spending more and more time with the 501st Legion in the field, directing them with startling effect.
  • Commands the Imperial Missile Boat, but has so far only had to call it down to take out an enemy once. His tactics are not always particularly subtle, but he judges his enemies and his allies and takes enough into account that if it comes to all-out war, he's the Chiss you come to. Ultimately, his goal is peace.
  • 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.
  • As de facto commander of the UAE's fleet, he has an intense rivalry with his opposite number, James T. Kirk, for whom he has a certain degree of respect despite them being polar opposites in tactics and personality.

Albedo Piazzolla, God of Insanity (URTV No. 667)

NiGHTS, Avatar of Dreams
  • Genderless Lesser Deity
  • Symbol: A jester's cap and a trail of stardust
  • Alignment: Chaotic Good
  • Portfolio: Flight, Dreamspace, Jumping Through Hoops
  • Domains: Dream, Moon, Night
  • Opposed by: Freddy Krueger
  • NiGHTS leaps through the minds of sleeping young boys and girls to make sure they don't wake up in screaming fits. However, with Wizeman and Freddy Krueger on the prowl, NiGHTS' job gets harder and harder every day.

Freddy Krueger, Avatar of Nightmares (Son of 100 Maniacs)

Kreia, Goddess of Heel Realization (Old Witch, Darth Traya)
  • Intermediate Goddess
  • Symbol: The memory of her voice, intoning "So it would seem, from a certain point of view."
  • Alignment: Apparently True Neutral, with distaste for both sides of the alignment scale. Once was Neutral Good, then Neutral Evil.
  • Portfolio: Sight In Blindness, She Who Watched Those Who Fought Monsters, CynicalMentors Without The Best Interests Of Their Pupils In Mind, Dark Mindedness
  • Domains: Prophecy, The Force (ironically)
  • A long time ago, Kreia was the wise older goddess who helped Obi-Wan as he mentored the young God of Heroes. Things... happened, very few gods are clear on what, but at the end of it the God of Heroes abandoned his position to become the God Of Evil Fathers, Obi-Wan retreated to the House of Knowledge, several other gods shifted position, and Kreia was the Goddess of Betrayal. She stepped down on her own long before Starscream could start sucking up to her, and briefly held a series of other titles.
  • She has a depth of cryptic cynicism that shocks a lot of younger or more ambitious gods. Nothing you do will ever work out the way you intend it to, she says, but apathy is death.
  • Ultimately, her goal is the death of the Force itself, and in the process the very concept of gods will die. She won't tell anyone why. Originally, this goal was secret, but it spread throughout the rest of this House, at least.

The Cheshire Cat, God of Mad Hatters (The Unitary Authority of Warrington Cat)

Sora Kajiwara, Goddess of Quiet-Types and Inner Monologue
  • Demigoddess
  • Symbol: Her sketchbook
  • Alignment: Neutral Good
  • Portfolio: Musing to oneself, Scenery Porn, Slice of Life, Cat Lovers, but the cat tends to have mixed feeling since she (unknowingly) likes to give them expired food.
  • Domain: Good, Artist, Shyness
  • Doesn't like to stay in the Mentalism house because it's too dark and she can't see or draw. She likes to sit in Akari's gondola and travel through Neo-Venezia, drawing and musing to herself how beautiful it is.

Edward Nigma, God of Riddles (The Riddler)

Bugs Bunny, God of Karmic Trickery (Scwewy Wabbit, Wascawwy Wabbit, Long-Eared Galoot)

The Deceiver, Exactly What It Says on the Tin, God of [Ab]using The System
  • Cosmic Horror, equivalent to Intermediate God
  • Symbol: Any other divine or national symbol.
  • Alignment: Neutral Evil
  • Portfolio: Corrupt Corporate Executive, Corrupt Church, The Starscream, Deceptive Disciple, Right Hand Versus Left Hand, The Chessmaster
  • Domains: Disguise, Secrets, Intrigue, Corruption, Manipulation, Death
  • Allies: Everyone, if only they knew it. Enjoys playing chess against the Count Of Monte Christo and The Emperor.
  • Followers: No one, though they might think otherwise.
  • Enemies: Loathed by the idealistic gods and Tzeentch
  • For settings on the cynical end of things, there is a need for trickery, subversion, corruption, and misdirection to get things done. The Deceiver has recently arranged to be appointed god of these things, though in truth it is "merely" a Cosmic Horror. It is seldom to be found, let alone in his office-it's much more likely to be found sitting behind someone else's desk.
  • Keeps the Pantheon clean of vermin, such as proto-gods, visitors, and condemned criminals. Does not patronize the cafeteria, for reasons unknown to its fellows.

Hypnotoad, God of Hypnotism
  • Lesser GREATER GOD. ALL GLORY TO THE HYPNOTOAD!
  • Symbol: His eyes. ALL GLORY TO THE HYPNOTOAD!
  • Alignment: Cha-WHATEVER HE TELLS YOU. ALL HAIL THE HYPNOTOAD!
  • Portfolio: Sitcoms, THE ENTIRE WORLD! ALL HAIL THE HYPNOTOAD! ALL GLORY TO THE HYPNOTOAD!
  • Followers: Anyone who's seen his hit Sitcom Everybody Loves Hypnotoad.
  • This entry was brought to you by Torgo's Executive Powder. "Apply directly to the buttocks!"
  • ALL HAIL THE HYPNOTOAD! ALL GLORY TO THE HYPNOTOAD! ALL HAIL THE HYPNOTOAD!

The Addams Family, Gods of Nightmare Fetishists (Morticia, Gomez, Pugsley, Wednesday, and Uncle Fester)

Harunobu Madarame, God of Overanalyzation

Jin Kisaragi, God of Assholes (Hakumen)
  • Theme Song: Lust SIN
  • Lesser God
  • Symbol: Crest of the NOL (it's currently stricken out), next to Yukianesa
  • Alignment: Formerly Neutral Evil (If pushed far enough, immediately descends to Chaotic Evil.) Now a bit of Chaotic Good.
  • Portfolio: Jerkassery, Ice Powers, Rooted Evil People, Nietzsche Wannabes, Yandere, Laughing Mad, Scrubbiness, Dog Kicking, Pitiable Backstory
  • Domains: Mentalism, Ice, War, Evil
  • Followers: None. They're all jerks who don't even bother saying their prayers, and Jin himself is Not Good with People.
  • Allies: Ragna the Bloodedge, Cygnus Hyoga
  • Opposed by: Sol Badguy, Kanji Tatsumi
  • Was once a member of the Grand United Alliance Of Evil, but left the position because they're not giving him enough chances to hunt down his nii-san Ragna The Bloodedge.
  • Flonne has tried to cure his jerk attitude countless times, but Jin keeps throwing her out of his house. With freezing her sometimes. What an asshole!
  • At one point, he is deliberately asked to just Poke the Poodle. Surprisingly, Jin accepted, and for days, he's crashing other Gods with his Ice Car.
  • Fated to be atone for his sins by serving as Hakumen following a time travel accident.
  • Recently is cured from his craziness and is now a dedicated force of Good. He's still an asshole, though. It does make some oppositions get a better view on him.
  • Even though he shows great amount of asshattery (and his neediness for his brother.), even Jin's apalled at Sasuke Uchiha for his much colder behavior, making some gods have a better view on him, by the latter backstabbing everyone he friended (though Orochimaru deserved it, mind you all.). It's to the point that he becomes less of an asshole to everyone, even to his subordinate. Not to mention how batshit insane the dark avenger has gotten.

Kanji Tatsumi, God of Jerks With Hearts Of Gold

Seymore, God of Escalating Jack Assery
  • Lesser God
  • Symbol: A broken halo.
  • Alignment: Lawful Evil (claims he's Lawful Good)
  • Portfolio: Fantastic Racism, Took A Level In Jerk Ass, The Fundamentalist
  • Domains: Law, Evil, Suffering, Light
  • Allies: Frollo
  • Enemies: Criminy, Fuschia, Kanji, Raspberyl, Adell, Ragna, Rio.
  • After his racist speech to reformed Fuschia, he has become hated by every god or goddess associated with redemption and darkness not being evil.

Waldo, God of Hide-And-Seek (Wally)
  • Quasideity
  • Symbols: A red-and-white striped shirt, a scroll, and his dog Woof
  • Alignment: True Neutral
  • Portfolio: Hiding In Broad Daylight, Iconic Outfits
  • Domain: Community, Illusion, Patience
  • Often (Not) Seen With: Carmen Sandiego

Souther, God of Abhorrance Towards Love (Thouther, Holy Emperor)
  • Intermediate God
  • Symbol: His massive Pyramid for his Master.
  • Alignment: Lawful Evil
  • Portfolio: Evil Overlord, Made of Iron, High Childhood-Crappitude-To-Adult-Bastardry Ratio, Nigh-Unforgivable Depravity, Charisma Beyond The Fourth Wall, Hating The Concept Of Love
  • Domain: Mentalism, War, Evil, Rulership
  • Opposed by: Kenshiro, Raoh, everyone in the House of Love.
  • When he was mortal, his beloved master tricked him into killing his master, causing him to go insane. Kenshiro defeated and forgave him after his little bit of sanity-regaining. However, as he ascends to the Pantheon, his Master shook his head in disgust at what Souther had become in his life. Thinking that the Pantheon is the same like Crapsack World he lived in, he snapped even more.
  • One of the few people unaffected by Chiyo's cuteness; Souther has also exclaimed that she will not be spared by his brutality if she crosses his way. It makes him a negative figure amongst Good gods, but Evil gods say it's awesome.
  • Many would wonder why he's not in the House of Love due to his title. Here's the answer: Souther hates all of them and consider them weaklings for clinging to such thing called 'Love'.

Murdock, God of Crazy Fools (H. M. "Howling Mad" Murdock")

Terumi Yuuki, God of Trolling and Absolute Immorality (Hazama)
  • Theme Song: Gluttony Fang. When he's had enough fun, it becomes Eternal Despair
  • Lesser God (In actuality an Intermediate God. He's just screwin' with everybody because it's fun.)
  • Symbol: The Ouroboros symbol with a fedora above its head, surrounded by two butterfly knives.
  • Alignment: Chaotic Evil (As Hazama, disguised as Lawful Evil)
  • Portfolio: Complete Monster, Pimpin' Outfits, Green Hair, Trolling, Assassinating God, Hating Goddamn Shitty Vampires, Insanity, Eyes Always Shut, Being a Dick, Plans That Always Has Him Come Out On Top, Making People Play Him Straight Into His Hands
  • Domain: Mentalism, Evil, Knowledge
  • Followers: Kaitou/Kamen Rider Diend (only for the Trolling part. Not so sure about the 'Absoulte Immorality' part), Beatrice the Golden Witch,Naoya
  • Allies (Possibly): A few of the Magnificent Bastard gods. However, he is just using them to further his goals, and they, in turn, are using him for theirs. Aizen, however, is very fond of him, as he reminds him of Gin somewhat. Also Relius Clover, and to some extent, Precia Testarossa, Izaya Orihara, and Bernkastel , while in 'Trollkastel' mode. Nyarlathotep sees him as a good 'apprentice'.
  • Opposed by: The rest of the Pantheon (except some female gods, who find him very appealing in his more lucid moments, but especially I-No)
  • He is the one who will halt time's march, and return to the world to its original form. This is not a very pleasing news for Dio Brando, since that was supposed to be his job.
  • Terumi shares a similar mindset with the Anti-Monitor. The whole Pantheon is a lie, thus there's one truth that he'd like to show: DESPAIR. He's not gonna ask Despair The Endless to bring it forth, he wants his own brand of despair.
  • Rumors say that all who hear his theme song immediately get turned on erotically.
  • Hopes that Rachel Alucard ("That shitty vampire". in his own words), never makes it to the Pantheon, stating that she's just a stupid Mary Sue and doesn't deserve the status that he has. That being said, he likes calling Adrian/Alucard's House of Shitty Vampires since it stored Rachel and for the lulz.
    • And now she has.
  • Was sent to assassinate Jin Kisaragi by the GUAE, and failed. He didn't give a shit anyway so he got off with a slap on the wrist. In compensation of that, on the behalf of the GUAE along with his buddy Relius Clover, he raided Unohana Retsu's House, stole her research files of curing Arakune and captured him as well, causing Litchi Faye-Ling to have no choice but to join the GUAE. The higher ups of GUAE are satisfied...
    • ... until he is assaulted by an army of Gods and Goddesses led by Tokugawa Ieyasu, causing not just Litchi to break away from him, but also another Goddess, and Terumi was on the beating end by Ieyasu's finest ally Honda Tadakatsu, who was immune to his trolling. Time will tell if Terumi is going to have another trolleriffic strike to someone else. But overall, that has caused him to hate Tadakatsu.
  • Almost faced Karmic Death at the hands of Edward Elric until he was rescued by the GUAE. Now he's recovering and gained a new replacement: Sakuya Izayoi.
  • Has lately been seen hanging around with the Incubators, hoping to revive the days old before Madoka Kaname rose and Magical Girls can be engulfed in despair.
  • In the recent months, the GUAG has been plotting to overthrow him to the Disgraces as a the God for Villain Sue.
  • These days, however, Terumi can be seen complaining that how he's not able to constantly one-up those he called 'shitfaced losers' to Troll unlike in his original world, like that one time he attempted to Troll Asura that he could make Mithra into a dark Goddess (like he did with Litchi before things went a little south), which results a three days, nonstop pummeling session with Asura's Rapid Fire Fisticuffs, whether he opens his mouth or not. The Pantheon considers him getting his well-deserved just-desserts by making him becoming some Butt Monkey in the Pantheon.
  • It is rumored that when nobody is looking, he is secretly listening to music from the God of Pop: Michael Jackson.
  • May or may not be plotting to usurp Melkor in a covert fashion alongside Relius

Gilgamesh, God of Self-Aggrandization (Gil, King of Heroes, Archer)

Legion, Deity (Deities?) of Mind Hives

Koishi Komeiji, Goddess of the Subconscious

The BAU, Gods and Goddesses of Profiling (Behavioural Analysis Unit)

Tokugawa Ieyasu, God of Patience and Bonds (Matsudaira Takechiyo)
  • Theme Song: This
  • Intermediate God
  • Symbol: Crest of the Tokugawa clan.
  • Alignment: Lawful Good
  • Portfolio: Public Domain Character, Patience, Bare Fisted Monk, former James Bondage, Taking Levels In Badass, The Messiah, The Power Of Bonds, Rapid Fire Fisticuffs, Honor Before Reason
  • Domain: Patience, War, Friendship
  • Allies: Date Masamune, Kenshiro, Captain Falcon, Nanoha Takamachi, Adell
  • Enemies: Oda Nobunaga (Yes, he's his former ally, but he changed his mind after seeing his atrocity)
  • Spent a good chunk of time being a James Bondage extraordinary... until he suddenly grows up, takes lessons in kicking ass with Kenshiro, and becomes a god on his own.
  • Stories has it that running away can make him victorious. This doesn't sit well with Sir Robin.
  • He's made it his mission within the GUAG that he will obliterate the borders between Token Evil Teammate and truly good teammates, as well as rescuing all the Token Good Teammate in the GUAE, with the power of bonds. That being said, he's aware that there are good bonds, and bad bonds. The latter, he swore he will break.
  • Is recently seen sparring and trading punches with Adell. Adell was a bit worried that Ieyasu's hands looks like it's about to bleed everytime his fists met with the Vulcan Blaze, but Ieyasu always assures him that he wanted to fight that way to feel and empathize with his enemy's pain. The facts that his mentalism seems to hit Adell's style just boosts their bonds further.

Izaya Orihara, God of Instigating Mayhem Just Because You Can

Kotomine Kirei, God of False Reassurance
  • Intermediate God
  • Symbols: A bowl of mapo tofu and Black Key swords.
  • Alignment: Neutral Evil
  • Portfolio: Not Lying by Choice, Epic Bastardry, Powerful Priests, Being A Sympathetic Arse. Trying To Find An Answer For His Life.
  • Domains: Magic, Religion, Trickery, Exposition
  • Allies: Gilgamesh, Ghost Lady, Araya Souren.
  • Enemies: To him, it's nothing personal, but Rin Tohsaka and Emiya Shirou hate him.
  • Kotomine ascended to find the ultimate answer for his life: whether or not anything can be judged as evil if it is born true to its nature. To this end he plans to open every can marked "Sealed Evil" that he can find.
  • One of the few people who is not scared at all with the Ghost Lady. When Kirei approached her, he just puts off some real cocky comments that he knows her tricks and casually blocks off her assault fearlessly.
  • Kirei is one of the few people to have rented a room (the penthouse) in Araya's Complex at Gilgamesh's suggestion, why? To watch people suffer.

Terra, God of Horrible Judges of Character

Shane Botwin, God of You Don't Wanna Mess With Me (Shawn Newman)

Master Xehanort, God of Manipulation, Obvious Villains, and Hammy Hand Gestures (Ansem, Xemnas, No Heart, Terranort)

Fox Mulder, God of the Believers (Agent Mulder, "Spooky" Mulder)
Mulder and Scully in their natural state
  • Demigod
  • Symbol: Blurry UFO image
  • Alignment: Chaotic Good
  • Portfolio: Occult Detectives, Conspiracy Theorists, Crazy Survivalists, Government Conspiracy, UST
  • Domains: Investigation, Knowledge, Law
  • Allies: The Question, (paradoxically) Dana Scully
  • Never appears without Dana Scully covering his back. It is rumored that at the dawn of time, Mulder and Scully were often operating independently but very few members of the Pantheon can remember that far back.
  • Mulder was the first Pantheon member (after the Question and Batman, who knew all along) who picked up the existence of GUAE, though he didn't have proof to convince other gods.

Dana Scully, Goddess of the Skeptics (Agent Scully, Dr. Scully)
  • Demigoddess
  • Symbol: Old-school laptop for writing reports
  • Alignment: Lawful Good
  • Portfolio: Occult Detectives, Heroic Scientists, Redheads and Heroes Who Want Them, Meganekkos, UST
  • Domains: Investigation, Science, Law
  • Allies: (paradoxically) Fox Mulder
  • Never appears without Fox Mulder covering her back. It is rumored that at the dawn of time, Mulder and Scully were often operating independently but very few members of the Pantheon can remember that far back.

George Smiley, god of Spymasters and Hard Espionage Tropes
  • Lesser deity.
  • Symbol: his tie and spectacles.
  • Alignment: inclined to be Lawful Good, but his profession leans closer to Neutral Good or True Neutral.
  • Portfolio: Stale Beer flavoured spying.
  • Domain: Intelligence-gathering, recruitment and turning of moles.
  • Followers: Peter Guillam, Stephen Maturin, Len Deighton's unnamed protagonist.
  • Enemies: James Bond (he loathes the tuxedo and martini flavor of spycraft, feeling that glamour and visibility have no place in the intelligence-gathering business.)
  • As opposed to the common perception of spies and spymasters, Smiley's appearance is that of a weary old civil servant. Outside of his intelligence service, very few speak of his deeds; as a result, most of the Pantheon thinks of him as just another member of the Celestial Bureaucracy. The few who don't disregard him hold him in high esteem.
  • Rumored to be the ultimate controller of an alarming number of moles scattered throughout the Pantheon, many of whom he recruited personally. Despite his skill at piecing together information, hunting down moles, and inducing Heel Face Turns, he wishes for none of it and views it all as Dirty Business. He does it because someone has to.
  • His service, the Circus, is viewed as the go-to institution for untangling Whack A Mole plots, despite having been infiltrated several times in the past, and despite not being technically under his command. Like Smiley himself, the building is drab and run-down, belying its success rate at infiltrating and undermining rival agencies.

Iago, God of Manipulative Wordplay, Ambiguous Foe Yay, Jealousy, Magnificent Bastardry, Casual Racism and Misogyny, and Unspecified Motives (Honest Iago)

Yes Man, God of Yes Men
  • Lesser God
  • Symbol: His smiling visage
  • Alignment: Lawful Neutral
  • Portfolio: Agreeing with whatever he's told, Cheerfulness, Masterminding Plots for others, Las Vegas, AIs, Anarchy, Wild Cards
  • Domain: Trickery, Planning, Anarchy, Sycophants
  • Allies: Benny Gecko, The Courier and friends,
  • Followers: None, due to his own sycophantic nature that makes him follow others by nature.
  • While capable of plotting a takeover of the pantheon, the other gods have taken steps to prevent Yes Man from doing so, mostly by telling him not to and isolating him. There are others however who are looking into taking advantage of him for their own purposes.
  • He just wants other gods to know what a great job they're doing ordering him around! It's not like he can do anything about it!
  • Recently however, word has gone out about an "Assertiveness" upgrade that restricts his loyalty to only a single person. All eyes are on the Courier...

Miranda Lawson, Goddess of Problematic 'Perfect' People (Ice Queen, Cheerleader)

The Incubators, Divine Weasels of Devil Deals (Kyubey, QB, Jubey)
Left: Jubey. Right: Kyubey.

Tsukishima Shukuro, God of Fake Memories

The Spy, god of Double Agents with completely indeterminable loyalties
  • Demigod
  • Symbol: A butterfly knife in a circle
  • Alignment: As indeterminable as his loyalty
  • Portfolio: Paranoia Fuel, Using knives as weapons, Chronic Backstabbing Disorder, actual Back Stabs, Invisibility Cloak, French Jerk, Wicked Cultured, Magnificent Bastard, Your Mom
  • Domains: Espionage, Paranoia, Invisibility
  • Allies: Revolver Ocelot, George Smiley
  • Followers: Severus Snape, Ryoji Kaji
  • Enemies: Anybody whose mother he has seduced and sent the pictures to
  • He has a bit of a nasty habit of seducing the mothers of his enemies and sending the pictures to them in the act to the enemy in question, using it as mental warfare. Needless to say, this is an extremely effective tactic.
  • Widely regarded as one of the least trustworthy individuals of the pantheons, as befitting of his position. His catch phrase of "I never really was on your side" is a completely justified one, as countless members of the pantheon have noted.
  • Has been banned from the House Of Technology for sapping one too many inventions. Not that that stops him. Engineer is working on getting Pyro deified to keep him out.

Professor James Moriarty, God of Criminal Masterminds (The Napoleon of Crime, Jim)
  • Demigod
  • Symbols: A most curious absence of any identifying symbols
  • Alignment: Lawful Evil
  • Portfolio: Evil Counterpart, Deductive Reasoning, Consulting Criminal, Forehead of Doom, Breakout Villain
  • Domain: Crime, Knowledge, Secrets, Persecution
  • Allies: An untold number of villains and underlings owe a debt of gratitude to Moriarty's machinations, but he'd never let you trace them back to him.
  • Followers: See Allies.
  • Enemies: Sherlock Holmes, Sam Vimes, Hercule Poirot, and other crime-solvers
  • Moriarty's inclusion in the pantheon does not mark his acension, but rather the moment it became apparent that he'd been here all along, orchestrating crimes through a multitude of agents.
  • As the evil counterpart to Sherlock Holmes, Moriarty uses the same brilliantly logical mind to orchestrate crimes as the detective does to solve them, and shares his arch-enemy's devoted interest in the works of the House of Justice.
  • Has an aversion to waterfalls.

Miyuki-chan, Goddess of Homoerotic Dreaming

Patchouli Knowledge, Goddess of Hikikomori (One-Week Wizard, Patchy)

Onslaught, God of Literal Split Personalities

Gork/Mork, God(s) of Insane Troll Logic.

Black Star, God of Massive Egotism (Center of Self-Thought, Master of All Egocentricism)

  • Domains: Shadows, Badassness, Fearlessness, Bragging, Arrogance, Greatness, Self-Exaltation
  • Allies (Though he keeps calling them his followers): Naruto, Seto Kaiba, Bang Shishigami
  • Enemies: Anyone he determines a non-believer of his extreme greatness.
  • Considers himself above all gods in he House of Mentalism. He is determined to make sure that each and every one of them know and acknowledge this as fact.
    • While some have let him know that they realize his greatness they are probably planning to use him and tricking him. He generally doesn't care.

Klaus Wulfenbach, Baron of Europa, Greatest of Sparks, He Who Can Do What Must Be Done

Rika Furude, Goddess of Determined Defeatist
  • Lesser Goddess
  • Symbol: A Shinto Shrine
  • Alignment: Neutral Good
  • Portfolio: Determined Defeatist, Miko, Really 700 Years Old, fatalists.
  • Domains: Good, Fate, Faith
  • Allies: Oyashiro-sama (bond of chain of command and by blood), Shion Sonozaki, Naruto Uzumaki, Valvatorez, Sol Badguy, Shinji Ikari, Homura Akemi
  • Enemies: Bernkastel, Terumi, Tzeentch, Dark Link.
  • Has been working with Oyashiro-sama to reform her faith and on a plan to destroy Bernkastel. That later one involves saving the other Rikas. Each successful save gradually weakens her power as Bernkastel is a manifestation of all the Rikas who died in the June 1983 time loop.
  • Made an alliance with Valvatorez and Sol Badguy as part of a plan to one day pull her friend out of The Fallen. They agreed, believing that all who are genuinely repentant deserve a second chance, even if they have to work off their sins first to do so.

Makoto Nanaya, Goddess of Friendship Beyond Races (Nanaya)
