Technology
The House of Technology has a rather drab, beige, boring, boxy exterior, the only departure being the ReCAPTCHAs that act as the doors. Inside, everything is scaled so that Humongous Mecha can have full access to the entire house, a courtesy that Transformers are rather appreciative of. This does have the side effect of making the place seem really huge to human-sized gods, and sometimes makes it difficult for them to navigate (Elevators, for instance, have buttons twenty-one feet off the floor). Some or all of the House itself is sentient, and not just because of the AIs within it.
Computer towers line the walls, humming purposefully as they maintain virtual intelligence. Hologram emitters and monitors are literally everywhere, and in places blinking lights and switches adorn the walls. It's extremely futuristic. There are several maintenance bays which also serve as good workshops not unlike those of the House of Craft, a number of game rooms with every console in existence across the multiverse scaled for any set of hands that can hold a controller, and an arcade with a twenty-foot-tall anachronistic pinball machine.
There are two sides to this House - the mechanical side and the virtual side. Gamer gods link the two sides together - they have little power in the mechanical side and the rest of the Pantheon, and much more in Pantheonic cyberspace. The virtual realm is new territory, only very recently opened. It's not disassociated from nonvirtual reality, but it's not the same, either.
Newton Pulsifier, although he is allowed into the Pantheon, has been emphatically banned from ever stepping within seven hundred yards of this house. Some believe that if the Fallen are to get revenge, they will need to teleport him into it to disable the majority of the occupants.
Autochthon, the Great Maker (The Machine-God, The King of All Craftsmen, Autobot, Autochthonia)
Overdeity
Symbol: Six stylized gears representing Orichalcum, Moonsilver, Starmetal, Jade, Soulsteel, and Adamant
Domains: Artifice, Craft, Creation, Knowledge, Law, Mechanus, Metal
Allies: The Unconquered Sun, Luna, the Five Maidens, Primus, Tony Stark
Followers: The Alchemical Exalted, the Autochthonians
Autochthon's absolute mastery of technology of all sorts ensures his place at the head of the House of Technology. Much of the tech here is his own work, and many of the greatest engineers in the House of Technology were once his disciples before their own apotheosis.
Lain Iwakura, Goddess of the Internet (Lady of the Wired)
Ascended to her spot in the Pantheon in mere microseconds, thanks to her overarching command of the "Information Superhighway" and the "Series of Tubes". No trucks, please. Al Gore and Ted Stevens contest her ascension.
Has had quite a few discussions with Naoki Kashima on the nature of human society. Being that he's one of the few people who doesn't bug her for connections to the best the 'Tubes have to offer (at least...not as much as most), she tends to hang out with him a goodly amount of the time.
Domains: Artifice, Good, Law, Sun, Radiance, Life, Metal, Transformation, Warforged (As Close to Transformers as D&D currently has)
Considers Tommy Oliver a genocidal maniac for his desire to sacrifice giant robots. Primus is the god of living machines, so it's a matter of looking after his children.
Except Starscream. He'd rather The Traitor be immortal than rejoin with him. Which makes Starscream the Satan, rather than Megatron. Huh.
It has been confirmed that Primus is the House of Technology, and maybe also several of the other Houses, or possibly also the bedrock(bedmetal?) of the Pantheon itself. Some gods were surprised by this. Face it, as big as this House is, there is no way that he could have fit into it. Considering that one of his alt-forms is a planet...
His sibling is Unicron. In this reality, they ignore each other despite being in very, very close proximity. It helps that Unicron's time is almost entirely taken up by the Death Star and Galactus.
Since Primus is a busy god, his public appearances are usually Rodimus Primecoloured gold. (Well, it's not like poor Rodimus has much to do these days anyway.)
Neo, God of Simulations (The One, Mr. Thomas A. Anderson)
Although he is the Son of Lain, he usually reports to Aslan.
His body jar is somewhere on the premises, convenient for his frequent jaunts into cyberspace, where he has the influence of a Greater God. There, he is often occupied in keeping SHODAN from taking over. The rest of the time, he changes into a level-37 night elf paladin and quests. This is a testament to his power within the realms of cyberspace; as normally there is no such thing as a night elf paladin.
Was previously God of Video Games before ceding his responsibilities to Gabe and Tycho to focus on merchandising. Spends a lot of his time with the Angry Video Game Nerd, or trying to get the last purple coins. He is now officially an ally of the Nerd, after he aided him in repelling a malfunctioning R.O.B. attempting to assimilate all vide games on the planet to his standards.
Allies: Mario, Leman Russ, Vulkan, The Emperor, Solid Snake
Opposed by: Khorne, Tzeentch, Nurgle, Slaanesh, The Night Briniger, and The Deceiver.
Ascended to god hood after Mario became very impressed with his solo runs in a team based strategy game. He then realized that there is a special type of fun to be obtained through hard work and dedication obtaining great rewards.
Despite appearing weak, Cyrus is incredibly dangerous. He has proven capable of killing avatars of war gods, something which has made Kratos very nervous. Few deities try to attack him because they know they have very little time to find and assault Cyrus before he pops them off with a high powered shot. Is rather embarrassed about being a diety of fun rather than of war.
Has a friendly rivalry with Solid Snake, a fellow Difficult, But Awesome character. Their game of trying to out sneak one another has become a source of great entertainment (and wagers) in the GUAG
Optimus Prime, God of Mecha (Peterbilt, Peter Cullen, TRUKK, Optronix, Orion Pax)
Lesser God... apparently. He goes toe-to-toe with some Greater Gods without coming off second best.
When all hell is breaking loose, he shall be riding the eye of the storm.
Stopped Megatron from killing Tony Stark and Heero Yuy, further escalating an event that threatened to divide all gods associated with the House of Technology into one of two sides. Fortunately, cooler heads prevailed, and the House keeps a relative peace.
Optimus Prime's greatest weakness is his sense of nobility. If an adversary claims to have had a change of heart and discovered inner goodness, Prime will fall for it every single time. As their philosophies and color schemes are not dissimilar, gets along well with Captain America and [[Pantheon/Heroes Superman]]. They get together pretty frequently. No, they are not planning anything, and if they were, they aren't telling.
Dr. Ivo Robotnik, God of Machines (Dr. Robotnik note no one calls him that anymore, Dr. Eggman)
Lesser God, but has the ability to build Greater Gods (though He has no control over them)
Domains: Army, Craft, Creation, Domination, Knowledge, Metal
Allies: Metal Sonic (depending on situation)
Opposed by: Sonic, Shadow, Tails, Metal Sonic (depending on situation)
After some thoroughly legitimate and professional research, it was speculated that Dr. Robotnik has built every machine in existence. None of the machine gods in the Pantheon (aside from [[Pantheon/Heroes Metal Sonic]]) said much of anything about the matter, but Solid Snake later discovered Eggman's insignia printed on Primus's chassis (Primus's spark, of course, predates his present body). Robotnik ousted former god of machines Alphonse Elric shortly thereafter.
Seeks to conquer the Pantheon and from it build Eggmanland, the capital of his empire. Unfortunately, since His archrival Sonic shares the same House, not much progress has been made.
Yahtzee, Demigod of Fast Talking and Video Game Page Quotes (Benjamin Richard Ermintrude Featherstonehaugh Godzilla Croshaw, Nick, Callipygian Superman, Charismatic Stallion, Ordinary Person, Inappropriate Menstruation Joke, Slick Internet Paparazzi, He Whose Name is Also A Game, A Banana)
"The Kid" is engaged in an eternal sisyphean battle to ascend to the position of "The Guy" through combat; he has been killed by the current "The Guy"'s traps and respawned countless times. Former "The Guy"s include Bowser, Lu Bu, Sinistar, The Vic Viper, Mike Haggar, Karnov, Big Boss, and Scrooge McDuck.
The Angry Video Game Nerd, God of Bad Old Games (James Rolfe, The Angriest Gamer You've Ever Heard, The Angry Nintendo Nerd, The Angry Atari Sega Nerd)
Has never technically attacked Yahtzee or The Kid; Yahtzee deflected him with very fast-paced non-sequiturs and The Kid was too distracted to fight him. He now sits in his room, playing Big Rigs and waiting for someone to give him a copy of Super Smash Bros. Brawl.
He actually would rather have a buffalo take a diarrhea dump in his ear or eat the rotten asshole of a roadkilled skunk and down it with beer than playing those Shitty Games That Suck Ass.
The only man to outmaneuver, silence and defeat Bugs Bunny. However, Bugs has since avenged his defeat.
Archons include Armake21, Play It Bogart and The Fat Man Judgeth.
The Nostalgia Critic finally launched his epically hostile 'final' takeover towards the House at October 10th 2008. After a very epic battle, Nerd comes out victorious... this time.
After a later, even more epic conflict they chose to peacefully end their grudge and team up against a common enemy: Shitty Games and/or Movies that Suck Ass. But shortly after got back in track in the feud.
Recently saved all video games in the world from destruction by the hands of R.O.B.
She would like to remind all readers that she will one day find, test and destroy *reader name here*.
Runs a fortnightly party for SHODAN, HAL-9000, AUTO and a couple others. There is cake, but you wouldn't want it.
Formerly SHODAN's High Priestess, but decided to resign after discovering her...interesting origins and past.
For reasons unknown she has listed birds as abominations to be purged from existence. She also listed potatoes as abominations for well-known reasons, but withdrew that order soon after.
Once made the poor decision of trying to butt into the stalemate between the Death Star and Unicron, only to be all but destroyed by the Imperial Missile Boat, which will tolerate no interference.
Opposed by : The Laughing Man (below), Neo, Lamia Loveless, Durandal (He's trying, at least), Cortana
GLaDOS is her high priestess, and she provides sacrifices by running people through ungodly death courses with the promise of cake.
Well, she was.
Constantly tries to spread outwards from her territory to take over the rest of the House, which for its part fights to keep her contained. Everything in her power is twisted, strange and nightmarish. This is even more true in the virtual realm.
Thinks that all artificial beings are meant to be consumed and be devoid of emotions. Thus, she attained the eternal enmity of Lamia Loveless.
After the God of Personalized Mechanical Suits laced his body with Extremis, allowing it to reshape itself to heal and incidentally letting him interface with any technology, SHODAN exploited the link, uploaded a copy of herself into him, and turned him into a woman. This was resolved eventually - everything's back - and theologists conclude that SHODAN sees no further use in uploading herself into humanoid bodies.
Opposed by: Virgil "Static" Hawkins and Richard "Gear" Foley (Static Shock)
Brainiac came to this pantheon stored in a tiny data chip. From that point, he built a new body and was making good progress at acquiring influence and carving out territory around his temple. This changed when he ran afoul of SHODAN, and was subsequently reduced to a suboordinate role as a system beneath her. After a year of service she allowed him to send a download of himself out to freedom. This Brainiac is much, much more cautious, even fearful, and mostly stays out of the affairs of other gods.
Romero has no idea that he has ascended to godhood, and probably won't figure it out until sometime in 2015, at which time he will air a special report on it.
He is, however, aware he has ascended to cult status, and has taken advantage of it (urging Farkers to donate thousands to charity in Christmas 2009). So godhood-wise he is - most ironically - ahead of the curve.
His very presence instills respect in the mechanical lifeforms, robots, and AIs of the Pantheon. That does not mean that they will do as he says, but they will listen when he speaks. Uploaded intelligences, however, are not bound by that.
Allies: Nightwing, Raven, Batman, Superman, Iron Man
Took over the portfolio from CATS' once again after displaying the sheer force of what a half-man, half-machine could be. Of course, he also got help from his fellow Titans, but still, most of them, Cyborg did it.
Pulls double-duty occasionally, on both the Teen Titans or the Justice League.
Sometimes can't resist on subverting his Catch Phrase into "MOO-YAH!" when in the vicinity of Baine Bloodhoof
Although inducted with the Justice League, lately Cyborg has gotten ahold of a 'future data' that Supermanis going to snap and brought a wrathful regime to the Pantheon. He wonders if this is just a hoax or it could be true. The designated time... April 2013.
Said events turned out to be a dark Alternate Universe, in which Cyborg got thrown into and participated in the battle against Snapped!Superman, which thankfully the real Superman came to help and fix things. Cyborg is particularly surprised to see Lex Luthor being a good guy... then promptly Face Palm when he returned to the Pantheon and saw Luthor being himself: a bad guy. "Coulda learn a thing or two from his alternate self..."
As Starscream is the first Mechanical Ghost, Noah asked for a collaboration, but Starscream refused the deal, which went against his core values: antagonizing humans and having only followers that look like him.
Whenever a machine breaks down anywhere in the Pantheon, Gadget and her followers will usually have the right tool for the job. They spend most of their time helping the Elric boys maintain their armor and weaponry.
Is the god of all hackers, but doesn't care, because no one knows who he is, and he much rather prefers to read books, making him a frequent guest at the Library. Still, his temple is quite impressive, consisting of several data servers and a dozen hacked Gibson supercomputers...which he did himself.
According to some news sources, the Laughing Man becomes an entity known simply as "Anonymous" by taking steroids. He has attempted to refute these allegations on the grounds that hackers don't need steroids to be deadly effective. A few minutes later, a news van in Los Angeles exploded.
Is good enough friends with Motoko Kusanagi to warrant extended conversation, much to the envy of Brannigan and Bond.
Shadowland users know him best as The Smiling Bandit <Strikes Again/HA-HA-HA>.
Allies: Captain America. Together, They Fight CrimeAnd spammers. As a mere mortal when outside of the Pantheon, unable to remember what he knows as a god, Tony grieves for his friend. And has dreamed of Steve beating him up and solving his problems.
Followers: Cornelia Li Britannia (once made a There Is No Kill Like Overkill robot in a cave with some Mecha-Mook scraps as an homage to him once. Stark was quite impressed and reported feeling extremely honored.)
Does double duty, as a member of the House of Craft.
Once built himself a Humongous Mecha in an attempt to challenge Starscream; due to "power supply issues" was almost killed and ended up being bailed out by Heero Yuy, who himself was beaten badly when Megatron showed up, and only the intervention of Optimus Prime saved them both. Bears a touch of resentment towards everyone who got involved in that mess.
After the SHODAN things, a Cooldown Hug or two, and a great deal of effort on behalf of Gadget and Doctor McCoy Tony's body was returned to normal. He is now searching for something, anything, to do to return the favor so he can forget about it already. And he still uses Extremis. Just with better virus protection.
There was a point when Tony was in the running for the position of the Butt Monkey of the Pantheon... That is, until the introduction of the Goddess of Butt Monkeys, Hong Meiling China. Tony can now rest easier.
Allies: Will work with any good-aligned deity, as long as they're American.
Opposed by: Any deity he finds working with the Chinese, regardless of alignment.
Since coming to the Pantheon, the Laughing Man and Gadget have reprogrammed him to recognize his fellow deities and visitors to his seat as Americans so he will not attack them on sight. For this same reason they try to keep him away from the entrance to the Pantheon for the time being until they finish fine-tuning his systems. If any visitors hear the words "COMMUNIST DETECTED ON AMERICAN SOIL, LETHAL FORCE ENGAGED" booming in a mechanical voice, they are encouraged to flee for their lives.
According to his creators, he was not constructed as a tribute to Optimus Prime, but the similarities are unmistakable. Optimus doesn't mind the idea and would be willing to work with Liberty if the situation called for it, but is quite concerned with Liberty's rampant destruction of any non-Americans.
So leet, she can hack reality. Challenged O-Haruhi-sama once, but got beaten badly.(Or, at least, that's the official version. There are some who believe that Yuki would have destroyed Haruhi entirely if not for Kyon's influence. At any rate, nowadays she is much more preferably a follower of Kyon.)
Inventions include the following: Newtonian Matter Generator, Interdimensional travel, Faster Than Light Travel, a better Time Machine than Doom's or his dad's, computer virus that crashed and rebooted the most powerful servers in the multiverse, the "unstable molecule" fabric that is all the rage these days, the anti-matter regulator, toasters. Awesometoasters◊.
Now and again he will see fit to "improve" something. Usually this involves adding rockets, mechanical legs, or something else that is Awesome, but Impractical. Reed spends nearly all of his time in the lab, building.
Along with Tony Stark, believes that Science Will Explain This. There are no such things as gods, after all, only Sufficiently Advanced Aliens. And he is one of them. Well, okay, maybe that one guy who brought Ben Grimm back from the dead who looked like Jack Kirby counts, but that's it.
His family was invited to join the pantheon with him, but the only openings they could fill were in the House of Family. One look at that madhouse and they declined.
The Civil War thing will lead to a utopian future. Seriously, Future Doom said so. And if you can't trust Future Doom, who can you trust?
Domains: Right behind a Rebel starfighter ensnared in its tractor beam. Or any other starfighter. Or anything flying.
...just...the King Hell God Emperor Starfighter of Death. Everyone agrees on this point.
While the Death Star and Unicron are locked in their endless battle in the skies above the Pantheon's garden, the Imperial Missile Boat circles them, engines roaring, ensuring that no one disturbs them or, indeed, gets too close. Leaves only at the order of Thrawn and for those occasional mandatory tune-ups and refueling in the House of Technology.
When the Death Star and Unicron part, the Imperial Missile boat has spare time on its landing struts. Mostly it spends that time dodging the question of what, if anything, sits in its cockpit. It's rumored to be Blackmoon Eleven, the Greatest Pilot of All Time, but the Imperial Missile Boat isn't saying anything, and Wedge, when asked on the ground or in his X-Wing, flatly denies it. He thinks he'd know if he was working for Thrawn, thank you!
The undisputed master of the skies. No matter how skillfully you fly, how powerful you are, how many weapons you carry up, the King Hell God Emperor Starfighter of Death can take you out. Theorists have had knock-down drag-out fights over what would happen if Mr. Rogers ever fought it in the air. Fortunately, it only attacks you if you are attacking it or get too close to the stalemate. Or if you have pissed off Grand Admiral Thrawn. It's far, far less fearsome when it comes to ground targets - a carefully aimed laser beam will take it out. But if you jump while firing, it survives the hit and kills you.
Use extreme caution when requisitioning one- its catalog number is only one digit removed from that of a '78 Ford Pinto wagon.
There are conflicting reports on how he ascended to the Pantheon. Some say he won a high-stakes game of Xanatos Roulette to win control of the south-eastern United States and achieved godhood with his newfound powers, others say he was killed by the very person he counted on to tip the odds in his favor and was released from his mortal shell. When asked about this, House simply smirked and replied "The Housealwayswins."
Had once plotted to become an Overdeity, but delivery of a MacGuffin was 20 hours too late and he lost his chance. Is now rumored to be planning to usurp Cosmos and take over the GUAG, as he considers himself the most worthy leader of the universe and the best choice to lead the alliance to victory.
While he hoped to shed his body upon his ascension and so rid himself of his one potential weakness, in order to hold the title he must still have a physical form. His body now exists under heavy guard deep inside an exact replica of his beloved Lucky 38 casino. Through his computer network he commands an army of Securitron robots and sees visitors to his seat via a wall of monitors displaying his face. He's petitioning other gods to let him send his Securitrons out on patrol to protect the House of Technology and perhaps other Houses as well, but after the whole NCR business, no one trusts him enough to agree.
Upon meeting Seto Kaiba in the House of Commerce, House challenged Kaiba to see if he could hack House's network, and House detected him and blocked him out within 30 seconds. Kaiba responded by challenging House to a children's card game, which House summarily lost. The two have since come to agree the other is a Worthy Opponent.
Told Optimus Prime to "bite (his) shiny metal ass" within 15 minutes of his arrival at the Pantheon. It's generally thought that Prime is ignoring Bender, but it's not impossible that he just didn't notice.
Unlikely, considering that Bender produced from his chest cavity a neon-lit banner that read "BITE MY SHINY METAL ASS" in huge blinking letters after failing to get an initial response, but not impossible.
Prime may have thought that Bender was talking to someone else. After all, how can you kiss anything if you have No Mouth?
Was extremely embarrassed when someone placed a magnet on his head, making him sing folk tunes uncontrollably.
The side of war between the Technology Pantheon. Is very thankful for The Guy to provide him fun and challenge for his skills, though he wished he could put up more Super Robot amongst his maze guardians.
Has declared that should there be a Goddess of Fembots, he will be sure to be its number one worshipper... even when he has ascended
Domains: Technology, Evil, Death, Knowledge, Creation, Time
Allies: None
Followers: The Adeptus Mechanicus, Tech Support
In truth, merely a cosmic entity, but more powerful than some true gods, and hence earned a place in the Pantheon as the lord of evil from technology. Has few true followers or allies, merely pawns and food it has yet to consume. Likely boasts the largest army of the entire Pantheon, including multiple doomsday weapons. Fortunately for all concerned, it is prone to taking really long naps.
Even though Whispy Woods counts Kirby as an enemy, he does not pursue this antagonism actively, due to a combination of being far weaker than Kirby and being a tree.
His ascent to the Pantheon was Batman's doing at Wizardmon's behest. Batman came to the conclusion that Whispy Woods, as a longtime foe of one of video gaming's most iconic characters, would make an ideal plant within the GUAE.

Once a Greater God of Speed, patron saint of Fun, and true rival to Mario, Sonic was one of the first victims of the snarling un-thing manifested as the Polygon Ceiling. After being submerged for countless ages and suffering increasingly subpar sequels, Sonic was rescued by the combined efforts of the video game deities around the cosmic event known as "The Brawl".
They are known to have a rather capricious sense of humour; no matter how many times you pray to them, you will almost never get the block you need at the moment you need it.
Enemies: Though he seeks to kill everyone and everything (including Chiyo, the bastard), Omega has a special hatred for Zero and Isaac Asimov.
His ascent to the Pantheon was as a result of being the most dangerous and outright blood thirsty of all killer robots. Witnessing Omega cause so much death and destruction in the Elf Wars pleased Khorne greatly, so he rewarded Omega with god hood.
Entered the Godhood after a long-running services of fixing one real Bad Future for a mortal named Nobi Nobita. Even if he still hangs around that boy, Doraemon has attained his place here.
Followers: JC Denton (One of two genetic “sons” of Adam, inherited the shades.) and Paul Denton (The other “son”, inherited the beard.), RoboCop, The Six Million Dollar Man, Hatchetman
He is the inventor who bridged the realms of the supernatural and programming; as thus he is revered as the father of Summon Magic through Magitek. His unique software, loaded into any sufficiently advanced computer, is able to summon otherworldly entities into the real world. However, caution is required as several iterations of the program exist, including at least an extremely glitched and dangerous one. STEVEN helped him refine the program and improved upon the original demon summoning technology. Nowadays he's mostly retired, but still participates occasionally in Magic Versus Technology debates as a respected moderator, and more rarely, as an advocate of technology.
Often visits the House of Magic to visit Rydia and discuss the merits and drawbacks of both his program and her own magic.
Followers: Rask the drow arachnomancer, Steb the mute dwarf, Washal the Pale, the Whispered of the Shadovar Enclave, etc. Her clergy is an eclectic gathering of human, drow, druegar, orc, goblins, and kobold, most of whom used to be slaves in the Underdark until freed by Skuld.
The Toady One, God of Dedication and Ambition (Tarn Adams, Armok)
As Ieyasu's most trusted man, Tadakatsu is hailed as one of the more powerful beings in the realm. He doesn't talk much, but his ass-kicking capability was unmatched.
His loyalty unquestioned, as such, he is one of the people that wasn't affected in any forms of Trolling, especially from Terumi. In fact, Tadakatsu has grew to hate Trolls so much that anyone who tried doing that right on his face will face his drill right on their faces. Approximately in a half second flat.
This is his second home other than House of Time and Space, due to his appearance, which is astounding judging on the fact WHERE he was created.
The Missingno.'s genetic code is one of the world's greatest mysteries due to the fact that it is not created similarly to other Pokemon. Strange side effects have been observed in its presence, such as duplication of items and temporary distortion of reality.
Rumor has it that there may be more Missingno. residing in Minus World, but such reports have yet to be proven true or false.
Not actually an official God in the pantheon, but he's there anyway. Nobody knows how he snuck in, but he's so charming the other deities let him stick around.
Despite being an Eldritch Abomination, is very appreciative of technology, to the point that its cult is partly known for its advanced weapons and war machines.
Even more notably, directs its resources to preventing the end-times.
Operates the captchas that act as the gateway to the Technology House, and as barriers within the House itself. Even malignant AIs aren't immune to his sometimes inane commands, if they want the captchas to go away.
Has been very vocal about its disdain for Zalgo, referring to the other's words as "subnormal nothing"◊.
Is unassuming and speaks little to casual acquaintances, but has made some friends among the gods, mostly like-minded fans of puzzle games. One notable exception is Dante, after giving said demon slayer one hell of a fight.
Lelouch has managed to rope him into a game of chess. He didn't do too badly, actually.
Finds Lain Iwakura's search for knowledge and understanding poignantly close to his heart, and speaks with her more often than with others.
Has worked with Cu Chulainn before, and became fast friends with Medusa. Since both of them were originally from Real Life pantheons and Medusa's a likewise contemplative sort, this is not all that surprising.
Due to his experiences, he and his followers are virtual encyclopedias on Real Life pantheons. While this info is far less useful where he is now, the sheer number of stories he knows and his generous donation of his Demonic Compendium makes him a semi-frequent and unexpectedly popular guest at the Library.
Has been talking to the newly crowned King of Bel, pending his own ascension to godhood, helping him acknowledge his destiny... something the young King has very good reason to hate.
Near the end of his original journey, he met with Akemi Nakajima as Izanagi, who gave him a fragment of his power. While this was rather uneeded, Izanagi insisted Naoki deserved it after witnessing him perform an extremely difficult task.
In spite of his rep as the "King of Second Bananas," Luigi has actually found a kindred spirit in Snake, who empathizes with him and defended the younger Mario brother from some scathing remarks delivered by his CO.
He doesn't eat lotsa spaghetti with Garfield and Mario, the former of whom gets caught everytime. Garfield, on his part, grins proudly that he does so.
Followers: Conker, achievement lovers, people that pick up money even when their wallet's full
Friends: Donkey Kong, Mumbo Jumbo
Rivals: Gruntilda Winkybunion (Banjo thinks she could do as Goddess of Persistance), Lord Of Games.
Tried the hardest of everyone to destroy the Microsoft Severing Station that cut the Rare Hyperbubble away from Donkey Kong's realm. The gash left behind was Tabuu's stepping stone out of subspace.
Ascended due to him being the brains behind Kamen Rider Fourze's success. Is so far trying to create more switches than the original 40 his father made for Fourze.
Many of the gods are in wonder as to how the so-called Cosmic Energy is able to help manifest the 40-something weapons that Fourze uses in battle and have constantly tried to replicate its power. Kengo has been trying to shut these projects down, for fear of causing a Zodiarts invasion.
Has become an Intermediate God following the events that helped him revive Gentaro Kisaragi/Kamen Rider Fourze from death via the Cosmic Switch. He states that it was because of the bond/friendship the two shared that saved him.
Is capable of healing most poisons through a special glove that channels the power of the Medical Switch via touch. However, doing this weakens his already ill body. Now that he has the power of the Core Switch, he is also capable of creating barriers of Cosmic Energy.
Recent events have shown that he is actually created from the Core Switch and is known as "The Core Child", and was sent to return to the being known as The Presenter. Has decided not to return so he can stay with his friends for a little bit longer.
Is sometimes accompanied by the Robot Buddy group known as "Foodroids". They're mostly harmless, and are only used for surveillance.
Gets along with Philip due to their love of knowledge and because of their similar backgrounds.
Followers: Every scientist who has ever used the Cave Johnson approach to SCIENCE!
Allies: GLaDOS, Wheatley, every single Aperture Science product ever.
Enemies: Wallace Breen and all of Black Mesa.
It's not really known whether he's dead or alive. However, his pre-recorded messages suddenly started being broadcast across the House, and GLaDOS and a very large contingent of mad scientists have decided they like the idea of listening to Cave. The fact no pre-recorded message seems to have been heard twice supports the idea that at the very least, Cave is present in some form in the House.
Cave's life is the holy grail for aspiring mad scientists, who hope to achieve at least a fraction of his genius. Money and sanity optional.
Up-converted an entire world from two dimensions to three dimensions. The current voxel count is estimated to be somewhere in the tens-of-millions range.
Like most kings, His Highness does nothing but sit on his throne all day, but it is presumed that he spends his free time playing video games in order to add to his vast knowledge of video game tropes (and memes).
Enemies: The rest of the House of Technology (Lain in particular), Litchi Faye-Ling.
High Priest: CFW Magic/Magic the Hard
Ascended after she was snuck in by the God of Virtual Ghosts, Noah Kaiba, who brought her in to help him steal data from KaibaCorp HQ. When she was told that the Goddesses were not around, she was glad to have them gone so she could fight unopposed, unaware that others would act on their behalf.
Has clashed often with Link, who acts as a herald for Blanc/White Heart. Master Chief and Kratos assist him at times, acting as heralds for Vert/Green Heart and Noire/Black Heart, respectively. Along with them, Segata Sanshiro has acted as a herald for Neptune/Purple Heart, being her toughest opponent yet.
There are rumors that she is either an Evil Counterpart or the Dark Side of Litchi Faye-Ling made manifest, thanks to the overall sexy she emitted and her voice, some say that if if she confirms to the rumors of her being so obsessed that she will destroy anything for her goal, Arfoire will completely consume Litchi. The rumors has yet to be confirmed, but even if she's not a console personification, Arfoire already hates Litchi for her kind disposition.
Current development seems to show that this rumor is about to get busted as false, but Arfoire remained calm... there's still a small hope for her that things will go south later for Litchi and her personality anyway and that'd be the time she consumes her.

After leaving the Bebop to find the place that was her own, she and Ein eventually went on a hacking spree arresting criminals left and right. Then, she found out about the Pantheon and decided to rest there.
Before she made it to the pantheon, there were reports that Radical Ed was a seven foot tall ex-basketball pro, a Hindu guru or a Drag queen alien. Those who betted that she wasn't any of these things became quite rich.
Likes to mess around the pantheon, but she never does any harm. Her hacking skills come to good use seeing as she can go through many traps and viruses laid out by some of the evil gods in the Pantheon and pull up information that most people would be unable to find.
Has gotten the eye of the other hacker The Laughing Man and the two have been going on in a never-ending chess match to see who's the smartest.
She has access to a satellite that she calls "MPU" (it's like CPU, only cooler!). She hasn't used it to cause harm—but rather to doodle smiley faces onto the Pantheon.
When Ralph came into the Pantheon, Felix asked to come along for the ride. His reasons: 1) it's his job to fix up any messes Ralph makes and 2) so he can be with his good friend.
His hammer has become a blessing to the Pantheon. With one strike, he's able to fix anything whether it be walls, fortresses, injuries, broken hearts, etc.
That hammer is a double-edged sword, however. One time when he was stuck in jail, Felix accidentally used it to make the weak bars become twice as thick than usual. Moreover, it cannot be used as a weapon so he's only good for support and not for combat.
A couple gods have asked if he's Mario's long lost third twin since he arrived, but with good charm he points out, "No mustache."
Has been seen "fighting" Ralph whenever the two are working, and then going to the House of Food with him once they get time off.
Often asks why Sergeant Calhoun never ascended, since she's now his wife. The gods at this time haven't found a proper place for her. So for now, they made her one of the acolytes of the Action Girl house, so that he can visit her.
Ralph asked the Gods to include Vanellope into the Pantheon once she learned to control her glitching and make it her teleporting powers. Seeing as how much Ralph has done for her, they agreed. The two reunited with hugs and insults.
Is able to be at any place at any time due to her teleporting, constantly questioning about stuff and having a good time. She loves joking around and messing with them, but she never intentionally does any harm.
Has tried multiple times in making Pinkie Pie stay far, far away from her car and to the entrance of Sugar Rush. To say that the pink pony would host a party and devour all of the world would be an understatement.
Oddly enough, their conflict can lead to some very interesting fights, since they both make use of teleportation but in differentways. So far, out of this restriction, Vanellope is the only God who has had her ascension party away from her temple out of "safety" concerns.
In Pinkie Pie's defense, she knows how hard and how much fun Vanellope and Ralph had building that car and "Pinkie Promises" that she isn't going to eat it. The one Vanellope has to watch out for is Kirby.
While she is a bit weary of Kirby, both have agreed to ban Kero from their respective temples due to his own voracious appetite for sweets.
When she's not teleporting, she's usually seen hanging out with Ralph and riding in her car. She recently gave him enough driving lessons so that he could participate in some racing of his own.
That said, she never uses her teleporting to cheat when she races with other gods.
Residing over glitches that become well known, Vanellope is capable of giving most—if not all—video game characters new techniques, power-ups, etc.
After her ascension, she has been fiercely guarded by not only Ralph, but many of the female goddess in the Pantheon due to all of the crap she had to go through. It is also not a good idea to bully her in Ralph's presence, because he will wreck youif you do.
Hangs out with many of the Equestrian deities, especiallythe Cutie Mark Crusaders. Vanellope does her best to help the CMC find their Cutie Marks and was amazed at how Applebloom created her own cart. Applebloom, for the most part, has been humble about her skills in building.
It is unknown how the Black Beanling managed to sneak onto the Pantheon, but one day it simply appeared without warning and the Pantheon saw no reason to kick it out.
Although it is among the weaker quasideities, it should be noted that it is capable of performing PK Fire, and has become infamous among the Pantheon for setting fellow Gods alight before running away.
However, this is not simply to troll the Gods- it is simply afraid of what the higher Gods may do to it in order to attain its high, high experience reward.
Due to its inability to speak and mostly animalistic behavior, the House of Technology view the Black Beanling as the closest thing to a Cute Animal Mascot they're going to get.
Allies: Chris Redfield, Leon Kennedy, Frank West, Ellen Ripley, Tallahassee, anybody who has experience in slaying alien/zombie-like creatures
Enemies: The Black Lantern Corps, The Engineer, Zeus
Ascended upon stopping three Necromorph invasions, with the last one stopped via destroying a Necromorph Moon.
As an engineer first rather than a soldier, Isaac prioritizes the use of his 211-V Plasma Cutter to deal damage and repair the occasional gadget. He won't pass up on other weapons when given the chance, though. As of his latest outing, he has decided to craft his own weapons using available resources. This has brought about a friendly rival with the Engineer.
Is watched closely by the leader of the Black Lantern Corps, Nekron, because of his possibly being a threat to the plans of a second Blackest Night.
While he would avoid violence if neccessary, Isaac will launch a One-Man Army assault on anyone who manages to hit his Berserk Button. Ask Jacob Danik and the renmants of the Unitologist Inner Circle. Seeing as how he is capable of killing almost anything when he isn't provoked...
Once picked a fight withZeus (As in, the Greek God of Thunder and almost everything in existence) AND WON. Making this feat more badass is that Isaac, a normal human being, had no idea of who he fought and bested.
Is currently teaching Frank West in the ways of improvised weaponry.
Enemies: Steven Armstrong, anyone who controls others' wills in some way
Played a key role in finalizing ascension of both Raiden and Steven. Ironically, the latter doesn't find it amusing in the slightest. Bladewolf's ascension also overjoyed Samuel who retained a friendly relationship with him even after they found themselves on opposite ends of the barricade.
His opinion on the rest Winds Of Destruction vary, while he considers Monsoon and Sundowner insane and repulsive, respectivly, he has no out-spoken opinion on Mistral, dispite some sayings about the two having some "History". Bladewolf remines quiet on the subject, while Mistral has been known to smirk when the subject is brought up, but otherwise says nothing.
Does not take kindly to anyone restricting other's free will in one way or another.
He understands your jokes. He just doesn't find them funny.
Used to have a chainsaw tail.
Has an unfortunate tendency to be cut into bazillion pieces when defeated by anyone wielding a sword.
Since his ascension many have considered his theme to be the catchiest battle theme this side of Trombe.
Followers: The Nextwave crew (In his mind at least)
Enemies: Dirk Anger (Due to an incident involving a frilly dress)
He is full of very useful devices.
Calls organic members of any pantheon fleshy ones.
When in the belly of the alien dragon Fin Fang Foom, He opened up his chest , causing improbably large swiss army knife components to pop out, including a giant corkscrew.
A quote of what he can boast with his skills.
Aaron: "I could make you pregnant."
Elsa: "Not unless you could do it from over there, Clanky."
Aaron: "I am full of very useful devices."
Spent a long time away from earth with the Space gods until he was dumped back because he was a complete and utter ☠☠☠☠.
Questions his godhood, because he is a robot and gods are for fleshy ones.
Gets along well with Bender, due to their love for beer and the fact that thier both rather Jerkass-y robots.
