Travel
The House of Travel is essentially one gigantic vehicle. What kind of vehicle it is exactly is impossible to determine, since it's got a little bit of everything. It has tank treads, wheels, wings, jet engines, dark matter stardrives, and components of every known type of vehicle (and a few unknown). The steering wheel is from an '86 Cavalier, though. Not only is the House of Travel a giant, roving machine, but also serves as a mobile garage, storing and servicing the Pantheon's vehicles. It is, naturally, bigger on the inside. It even features it's own set of race tracks where most of the gods of the pantheon sometimes go-kart for fun.

- It is Mercury's task to ensure that all journeys go as they are supposed to, whether they end in success, failure, or a completely unexpected outcome. Most of the gods of this House acknowledge her as their leader, and all of them have felt her influence in some way.

- Domains: Travel, Ride Quality and Comfort (May), Speed (Hammond), POWER (Clarkson)
- Followers: Adam Ferrara, Ruteledge Wood and Tanner Foust.
- They are masters of that which is motorized and runs on four wheels, but they have no idea what to think of any of the Transformers, or people like Akio Ohtori. Michael Knight doesn't want them anywhere near his Cool Car.
- Captain Planet has expressed concern at the trio's obsession with large-engined, high-emission vehicles, but has been ignored.
- The trio are actually accompanied by a mysterious fourth god clad in white. Some say that he thinks divinity is where wine is made. Others say he showed up on the heels of Bart Allen, trying to ask him where he could find Oliver. All we know is... he's called The Stig.
Akari Mizunashi, Goddess of Gondolas and Caretaker of Beautiful Scenery (Aquamarine, Momiko, Hahi-chan)
- Demigoddess
- Symbol: The Aria Company symbol
- Alignment: Neutral Good
- Portfolio: Weirdness Magnets, Slice of Life, Romantic Two Girl Friendships
- Domains: Community, Emotion, Illusion, Ocean
- Akari is currently training as a Demigoddess in hopes of becoming an actual Goddess one day, but in the meantime she prefers to enjoy the Pantheon's beautiful scenery.
- Has been extremely happy ever since Neo-Venezia was named a sister city to the Pantheon.
- At one point tried to take the position of Goddess of Happiness from Yotsuba, but when the two met they had too much fun together and Akari decided Yotsuba was perfect for the position already. They hugged in a Crowning Moment of Heartwarming.
Franky, God of Cool Boats (Cutty Flam)
Marco Rossi and Tarma Roving, Gods of Military Mashup Machines
- Quasideities
- Symbol: Metal Slug Unit-001

Takumi Fujiwara, God of Street Racers (Tak, Tofu Boy)
- Demigod
- Symbol: AE86 "panda Trueno" (that's Toyota Corolla GT-S to you)
- Alignment: True Neutral (understeer being the enemy of drifters...)
- Portfolio: Unlikely Cool Cars, Settings in Japan but Outside Tokyo, Family Unfriendly Aesops, Heirs To The Dojo
- Domains: Speed, Skill, Sleep Deprivation, Rust Repair
- Followers: Akio Asakura (most likely both of them) is Takumi's main priest due to the popularity of his own game series. Speed Racer caters car for both The Stig and him.
- Racing Rivals: Yukari Tanizaki, The Stig
- Has found all the best roads around Cori Celesti. Appreciates the fact that getting the car through shaken is no longer an issue although it does require some fairly involved swapping, Sheriff Roscoe being open to food bribes, but not having developed a taste for tofu.
- Is currently involved in a fierce rivalry with The Stig, although at present it's limited to open taunting and fierce races on street circuits (because The Stig races exclusively on the circuits while Tak highly prefer streets). Monaco is their favored venue, and their races are almost always unannounced but sold out anyway.
Yukari Tanizaki, Goddess of Bad Drivers (Yukari-sensei)
- Demigoddess
- Symbol: The Yukari-mobile (a current-model but extremely beaten-up Toyota)
- Alignment: Chaotic Good (she means well...really)
- Portfolio: Goofy Teachers, Bad Drivers, Immature Teachers, Unexplained Childhood Secrets, Fierce Competition, Perpetrators of Les Yay

- On the Hit List of: Takumi Fujiwara, Roscoe P. Coltrane
- Followers: Toonces the Driving Cat (Saturday Night Live), Haruko Haruhara (FLCL), Otto Mann (The Simpsons), Ziva David (NCIS), Commander Shepard (Mass Effect)
- Upon their first meeting, asked Takumi Fujiwara if she could drive. The hachi-roku hasn't been seen in the Parking Lot Of The Gods since. Would prefer to be Goddess of Teachers in the House of Knowledge, but there are too many native English speakers and that's her, um, specialty... Indiana Jones had a hard time restraining himself from laughing; Comic Book Guy couldn't.
- It is prophecied that if she ever finds herself pursued by Roscoe P. Coltrane, the result will be a pile-up of a scale the world has never seen.
- Her stance on the ongoing feud between Tak and The Stig are neutral.
Speed Racer, God of Awesome Cars
- Demigod
- Symbol: The Mach 9
- Alignment: Lawful Good
- Portfolio: Steven Ulysses Perhero, Those Who Are Crazy-Prepared, So Bad, It's Good Adaptations, Car Fu
- Followers: The race cars from Future GPX Cyber Formula, etc.
- Domains: Competition, Racing, Pure Speed
- Go Speed Racer, Go Speed Racer, Go Speed Racer Goooooooooooooo!
- Is the quickest one around. Yes, in the Mach Five.
- Is also the best he-man in town. The fastest one alive.
Kino, Goddess of Walking the Earth
- Demigoddess (she could have been Goddess of Travel itself, but is much to absorbed with her task)
- Symbol: Hermes, her talking motorcycle
- Alignment: True Neutral
- Portfolio: Gunslingers, Bifauxnen, Adventure Towns
- Followers: Martha Jones (Doctor Who)
- Assumed the role from the previous Kino.
- Has traveled with all the gods in the pantheon... for two nights and 3 days.
- Once managed to simply walk into Mordor. Then, more impressively, managed to walk out unscathed.
Barry Allen, God of Super Speed (The Flash II)
 - Intermediate
- Symbol: A yellow lightning bolt
- Alignment: Lawful Good
- Portfolio: Super Speed, Legacy Characters, Powers Granted By Lightning, Freak Lab Accident, Meta Origins, Time Travel, Legacy Implosions, Silver Age, Heroic Sacrifice, Coming Back from the Dead
- Domains: Sky, Time, Travel, Speed, City, the Speed Force
- Rivals: Sonic the Hedgehog, Rainbow Dash
- Followers: Wally West (The Flash III, Kid Flash I), Bart Allen (Impulse, Kid Flash II, The Flash IV), Road Runner (and by extension, Rev Runner and Li'l Beeper), Dash Parr, Speedy Gonzales, Quicksilver.
- The prophet of Barry is Jay Garrick (The Flash I), the wise old master who mentored him. Jay has had the opportunity to ascend to a higher state of being, but because of his humility he chooses to remain mortal.
- Barry Allen was once obliterated while defending the universe from the Anti-Monitor, and his herald Wally West took over the role for about 23 years. Barry Allen later returned and Wally conceded the role back to him.
- Rainbow Dash sometimes says that she could outpace him, but when she does, it's one of those rare occasions when her tone becomes somewhat less than confident. Usually she just keeps quiet on their subject. She greatly respects him, though she does envy his position as the god of Super Speed a bit.
Kintaro Oe, God Of Bicycles
Ryoga Hibiki, Patron God of Misdirection
- Lesser God
- Symbol: P-Chan.
- Alignment: Chaotic Neutral
- Portfolio: No Sense of Direction, Baleful Polymorph, The Rival, Charles Atlas Superpower, Training from Hell

- His house is always empty. Neither Ryoga or his 'followers' can find it.
Subaru Nakajima, Goddess of Skates (GaoGaiGar-tan)
 - Lesser Goddess
- Symbol: The
G-Stone Power Crystal on Mach Calibre.

- Domains: Courage, Destruction, Family, Strength, Mechanus
- Followers: Nove Nakajima, Lan Hikari (Mega Man Battle Network, who Also follows Lain Iwakura), almost everyone in Air Gear and Jet Set Radio
- Allies: Guy Shishioh, Nanoha Takamachi, Sakura Kinomoto
- Rivals: Fate Testarossa (For Nanoha's affections)
- Being the loyal daughter of Guy and the gushing fangirl of Nanoha, Subaru spends her free time skating across the lands to spread their words of wisdom. Sakura often joins her, as she also enjoys rollerblading.
- Has a friendly rivalry with the somewhat-like-rollerblading Autobot Sideswipe, and a not-so-friendly one with the Decepticon Bonecrusher. Bonecrusher hates that the Autobot and the half-fleshling can roll at max-speed without swishing back and forth like he has to. Then again, he's somehwat proud of the fact that those two haven't yet managed to rollerblade a bus in half yet.
Renton Thurston and Eureka, God and Goddess of Sky Surfing
Mark Jamison Shepherd, Supreme Tank Commander
- Lesser God (military rank: Major General)
- Symbol: The symbol of the Global Defense Initiative (a golden bird of prey)

- Followers: Jess (Advance Wars), Fox McCloud (Star Fox), Welkin Gunther (Valkyria Chronicles)
- Allies: Solid Snake, Marco and Tarma, Non-Entity General
- Enemies: Lelouch, Gauron, Kane
- Shepard's position has some slight overlap with the War gods, due to the nature of the many different tanks he uses. While some of his favorites are roughly the size of a two-story house and could easily crush the same without flincing or stopping, Snake feels the need to remind him to watch out for crabs for some reason.
Isara Gunther, Head of Cute Wrench Wenches
- Demigoddess
- Symbol: Gallian Flag
- Alignment: Lawful Good
- Portfolio: Gadgeteer Genius, Moe Moe, The Smart Girl, Jewish Analogues, Zettai Ryouiki, Dead Little Sister, Too Good For This Sinful Earth
- Domains: Army, Mechanus, Family, Love
- Allies: Gadget, Winry Rockbell (a supporter of Wrench Wenches everywhere, though due to her specialties spends more time in the house of Technology)
- Uneasy Ally: Lelouch
- Many deities are often overjoyed when their vehicles experience mechanical problems, because Isara is just so adorable.
- Is repulsed with Lelouch despite his desire to protect her (as she somehow reminds him of his mortal sister), as he reminds her of a certain Emperor that ordered her to die in the mortal world.
Rincewind, God of Running
- Demigod
- Symbol: A pointy hat with stars and the word "WIZZARD" on it
- Alignment: True Neutral
- Portfolio: Running Away, Modern Major General, Battle Luggage, Obfuscating Stupidity, Reason Before Honor, Great Luck, Perfectly Reasonable Cowardice
- Domains: Travel, Magic
- Followers (i.e. those running in the same direction): Suicune, Raikou, Entei, Latios, Latias, other cowards (but, as Rincewind is quick to point out, cowards who are still alive)
- Not the strongest god, but definitely one of the hardest to defeat. It's not easy to find him, especially when he's startled, but he might be in the library or in the Food house, eating potatoes.
Ryoutaro Nogami and Maito Senpujin, Gods of Cool Trains
- Lesser Gods
- Symbol
- Ryoutaro: Rider Pass, alternatively the DenKamen Sword.
- Maito: Locomizer.

- Enemies: Garland, at least for Ryoutaro
Lara Croft, Goddess of Adventurer Archaeologists
Ibis Douglas, Patron Goddess of Safety From Plane Crashes (Shooting Star, Love)
Alice, Goddess of Absurd Feminine Journeys
Joker, God of Incredibly Epic Pilots
Graham, God of Adventure (King Graham, King of Daventry)
- Lesser God
- Symbol: His blue adventure hat
- Alignment: Lawful Good
- Portfolio: Patriarch of Adventuring Family, Dying A Lot, Kleptomania, Cool Old Guy, No-Kill Policy
- Domain: Travel, Adventure, Kingdom
- Have traveled throughout the ends of the Pantheon. While built like a linebacker, Graham always prefers not to directly fight.
- People still don't get why he could've beaten a Yeti with a pie.
- However, slowly, the word "pOIsonous" (especially in THAT tone) has become his gradual Berserk Button. You can thank Cedric for that.
Yukiko Amagi, Goddess of Inns (especially Japanese-styles) (Yuki-chan, Impregnable Snow Black)
 - Lesser Goddess
- Symbol: A miniaturized version of the Amagi inn
- Alignment: Neutral Good
- Portfolio: Managing and Protecting Inns, Yamato Nadeshiko prone to snapping when pushed too far, Laughing Fits, Fire Magic, Healing Magics, Paper Fan of Doom, Elegant Fighting And Persona-Summoning, School Idol, Lady in Red, Mystery Food X.
- Domain: Travel, Magic, Inns.
- Allies: Yuu Narukami (wherever he is), Kanji Tatsumi, Amaterasu, Shigekuni Yamamoto Genryuusai, Mai Shiranui.
- Enemies: Nyarlathotep, Terumi Yuuki.
- Rose in Goddess-hood the moment she drove away harrassers from her inn, all with just threats, which symbolizes her protectiveness to her inn.
- Terumi hates her because her Persona looks like something he utterly hated (Amaterasu). Likewise, Yukiko hates him for being an utter bastard, dissing her inn, and tells him off that all he's doing and rambling about despair and lies were nothing but like a kid throwing a tantrum because he can't get what he wants. That's after she lets him in her inn... and then purposely messes up the scheduling and such so Terumi doesn't have a pleasant 'stay' (like Kanji would attest from his experience in the mortal world)
- Is not really advised to go to the comedical houses of the Theater since her laughing fits could be endless that way. Shut up, it's an endearing character trait.
- Still occasionally visits the Food Houses to improve her cooking. As of current, even the Gods fear of what she could create in kitchen, dubbed 'Mystery Food X', and hoped the Food Houses can fix that.
