  • Pitied by: Bizarro
  • Chin is an unusual enigma of a person, created and unleashed by an obscure video game company (Happy Soft Ltd.) at an uncertain point in the mid 1990's. Immediately after his creation, he launched his first assault on China, tearing through droves of their forces like the Death Star through wet tissue, and had a devastating battle with China's secret weapon, the giant floating head named Tong Shau Ping. The battle ended with both of them seemingly destroyed, but it turned out decades later that Chin had survived the battle and had gone into hiding along with his creators, who have completely vanished off the face of the earth. It is speculated that Chin may have killed them himself due to the merger of China and Hong Kong in 1997 technically making them part of China and thus one of his targets, but no evidence exists to prove it, and Chin denies they ever existed.
    • He proclaims himself to be a relative of Bruce Lee, but Lee himself vehemently denies any relation to him and has barred him from ever setting foot in his temple. Jackie Chan likewise followed Lee's example.
    • Upon further research, Chin is now known to be a failed attempt at creating a literal clone of Bruce Lee, while splicing DNA of Jackie Chan into the mix, in an attempt to create the strongest warrior in the Pantheon as part of an anti-Chinese propaganda campaign. He has a very high opinion of himself and has the gall to consider himself a perfect clone of Bruce Lee and Jackie Chan, despite clear evidence to the contrary. That's right, he considers himself a relative of Bruce Lee in spite of fully knowing he's a clone of him—he is that egotistical. Trying to challenge him on this notion is a very easy way to tick him off.
  • Regardless of how he was created, there is no mystery to what his life mission is—to singlehandedly use his power to decimate the entire population of China (which, at the time of his ascension, consists of over 1.3 billion people), for little reason other than that the crime rate of Hong Kong skyrockeded in the mid-90's, which he squarely blames on the increase of immigrants from Mainland China coming in, while refusing to acknowledge the fact that the crime rate of the country has considerably lowered since his creation, and the increase having little if anything at all to do with the influx of immigrants in the first place. For obvious reasons, this has made it quite difficult for him to find allies throughout the Pantheon. He claims to be affiliated with the Hong Kong government, but the real government absolutely abhors him and has put out a 1 billion dollar bounty for anyone who can permanently detain him.
  • Due to his debut appearance relying entirely on off the shelf materials, his likeness appears to be a very grainy, low resolution image of Jackie Chan, taken directly from his film Wheels on Meals. Upon his ascension, the rest of the Pantheon were surprised to discover that this was his actual physical appearance, undoubtedly a result of a flaw in the cloning process.
  • Despite his eccentric appearance, mysterious origins and his ludicrous goals, Chin is undeniably a foe to be reckoned with. Not only is he capable of using an energy attack that can kill virtually any foe in a single strike (with the exception of the more powerful members of the Pantheon), he can shoot it without even turning to face you, and each attack makes his enemies explode like a miniature nuke on contact. However, his incredible power came with an unforeseen weakness—due to the unstable nature of his flawed clone body combined with such incredible power, any strike from another opponent, regardless of how weak it is, will kill him on the spot. Unable to find a way to directly stop this weakness, his creators somehow managed to acquire the DNA of Logan (possibly from his venture to Japan) and splice it into Chin, giving him a heavily watered down but functional Healing Factor that allows him to return from the brink of death after a short period of time. While this makes him nigh-unkillable, it also makes combat all the more tedious for him, since he remembers every single death he's gone through.
  • During one of his daily attempts to assault China, he encountered Po and the Furious Five and challenged them to a battle. After a standoff of a few hours (since Chin's attack could kill any of them or a bystander in a single blow, they could not take any chances) Po finally managed to defeat him by unleashing the Wuxi Finger Hold on him, sending him right into the Spirit Realm. Unfettered, Chin made his way through the realm and somehow managed to find his way back into the physical world.
  • Bizarro once took pity on him and allowed him to destroy Htrae's equivalent of China. Unfortunately for Chin, Htrae had its own Bizarro-equivalent of him, Nihc, who was the polar opposite of Chin in personality and powers—he is completely against violence, prejudice and genocide, and while he doesn't have his destructive powers, he has nigh-invulnerability to make up for it and used this to defend his home. After a month long fight, Chin realized his attempts to destroy his counterpart were getting him nowhere, and he fled back to Earth in shame.
  • He has a seething hatred for the Angry Video Game Nerd after he ridiculed his adventure and mission (in spite of the fact that he played a big role in his ascension by spreading awareness of him), and once stormed his house in an attempt to kill him. Fortunately, the Nerd was able to trounce him with a single punch from the Power Glove.
  • He also has a strong hatred of Andross due to his appearance reminding him of one of his greatest foes, Tong Shau Ping.
  • He has an Odd Friendship with Eric Cartman due to their mutual dislike of Chinese people and because both of them are racist to their own kind (in Cartman's case, it's toward Gingers despite his biological father being one).
  • His sheer egotism and desire to commit racial genocide in the name of justice earned him a rare ally in the form of Copy X, who has a similar agenda (albeit towards reploids instead of humans) and confidence about being a perfect copy of their predecessors. This also made him an ally of Dr. Weil.
  • The SCP Foundation has attempted to capture and contain him, but to no avail.
  • Apparently, he uses the Hong Kong '97 theme as a means of torture. Thirty minutes in, and the victim cracks. One hour, well…
  • Liberty Prime considers him an honorary American, being the only other deity in the Pantheon whose hatred of communists, China, and communist China comes close to Prime's own. The military strategists in the House of War have been planning for the possibility that the two might someday decide to team up and go on a rampage.
  • Shan Yu would seem like one of the very few people in the pantheon who would be willing to be an ally to him, but the differences between their goals (Shan Yu wants to conquer China, not completely eradicate its entire population) precludes a team-up between them.

    Cuphead and Mugman 
A profile is surely brewing!

Cuphead and Mugman, Sibling Deities of Classic Cartoon Animation (The Cup Bros, Little Mugs, Mugsy [by Cuphead], Ding-dongs [by Ms. Chalice])

  • On Good Terms with: The Runaway Debtors (Grim Matchstick, Hilda Berg)
  • This is the tale of two brothers, Cuphead and Mugman from the Inkwell Isle, who one day wandered into the wrong side of town and ended up entering into the Devil's casino. They soon found themself on a winning streak playing craps until the Devil himself showed up and challenged them to a High-Stakes bet: If they win, they get all the riches but if they lose, the Devil would take their souls. Then Cuphead got careless and lost the last gamble, and the devil forced them into collecting the runaway soul debtors just to spare their own souls, although they both later rectified the mistake by defeating the Devil and burning all the soul contracts, making them both heroes for the people of Inkwell Isle.
  • Their ascension wasn't an official one, as both boys wandered into the pantheon without anyone noticing and only after they were caught sneaking around the Treasure Vault were the boys allowed to ascend for real. Their tale has taught many about gambling and how it can mess up your life. And how you don't make deals with the devil.
  • Given their own experience, both siblings refuse to get near the House of Demons in fear that the Devil would be present wanting revenge for what they did to him. There were many different incarnations of Satan in there but none were the one they knew, which was a relief. Of course, they later learned that a sizable chunk of those demons are planning something for the Cup Bros, which has unnerved them.
    • While they are not demons, the Incubators have been another group that the cup brothers dislike heavily. They feel pity for those who were tricked into making a contract with them.
  • Made good friends with different deities from the 20-30's era of cartoon animation, most notably the likes of Mickey Mouse and Oswald the Lucky Rabbit, whom the Cup Brothers were inspired by during their younger years.
    • Both brothers also left a good impression on the video game deities too. Most notably they ended up befriending Mario and Luigi, who ALSO inspired them in their younger years. Cuphead, for his part, thinks he'd get tired of saving princesses after a while, but Mugman can see the appeal.
  • Mugman has made a huge effort in keeping his brother away from the House of Luck and Fortune given that Cuphead's impulsiveness and recklessness are what caused the whole ordeal with the Devil in the first place. Both brothers were also startled when they came across the D'arby Brothers considering what they do, especially Daniel who resembles King Dice a lot.
  • When they heard of Pleasure Island and how many happy boys have a fun time there, the Cup Bros felt like they were being deceived. Turns out that the Coachman had heard of their ventures, courtesy of his buddy King Dice, and wanted to have a go at the cups for what they did. Things were about to get red-hot, but what unsettled the boys the most was how similar the coachman's freaky smile was to King Dice's. Fortunately, the cups were able to decisively and karmically wallop the Coachman, and made their escape.
  • The boys were quick to befriend Peacock, who also acts and behaves like she was a cartoon from the 30's. Their personalities aren't that far off either, as Peacock and Cuphead are similarly rash and hot-blooded, which makes Mugman feel like he has to be the Straight Man whenever these two hang around. Peacock feels she can relate to what happened to the boys, although the whole soul collecting business reminds her a bit of the Medici and what they did to her. In the end, she's glad they got out of that business, and that they beat up that lousy Devil in the end.
  • Of all the deities they have met, they never thought that the one who would relate the most to their story is none other than Johnny Blaze. After all, he was forced to work for Mephisto before he bailed out and went to do his own thing, so Johnny respects the boys for that. Mephisto on the other hand has a very low opinion on the Cup Brothers.
  • Rumors have been circulating that Mugman may have a secret crush on Cala Maria. He has denied all claims, but his brother likes to tease him about that.
  • One trip around the House of Gaming let them befriend Frisk, whose adventure was somewhat similar to theirs. Their pacifistic ways reminded them about a turtle who taught them that violence could be avoided if they tried, and so the brothers have tried a more pacifistic approach to certain scenarios... most of the time, at least. It helps that the kinds of conflicts they get into aren't lethal, although they usually avoid talking about what happened with Goopy Le Grande and Wally Warbles.
  • Many have wondered how they would feel if someone drank from their heads. They don't necessarily mind if you ask nicely, though many find it strange that Mugman will drink from himself before the start of a fight.
  • Given how many different foes they have faced in their adventures, both Cuphead and Mugman have been wary about meeting a few deities who either resemble them or are a direct reference to them, even if the little cups are on better terms with the runaway debtors ever since they burned all the soul contracts.
    • One day visiting the house of Nature they stumbled upon Flowey, who like always, tried to play a trick on them. Unbeknownst to Flowey, the brothers' encounter with Cagney Carnation has taught them that not all innocent-looking flowers are harmless, and, as such, saw the old "Friendliness Pellets" trick coming from a mile away. Flowey promised to get back at them in the future. After all, their dodging skills proved quite impressive and he'd like to test them again.
    • Jafar was seemingly interested in the powers the two cup boys possessed and tried to ambush them in an attempt to get a better look at them and see if he could steal and harness the brothers' powers for himself. However, the brothers were very familiar with all his tricks after their encounter with Djimmi the Great and laid down a beating, leaving the battered wizard to crawl away, swearing revenge.
    • While they aren't necessarily hostile, the cup brothers have their doubts about the Blue Slimes. For all they know they could be related to Goopy Le Grande and may want revenge considered what happened with him.
    • When they first saw the Iron Giant, the brothers thought their old enemy Doctor Kahl had invaded the Pantheon with a larger robot, seeking revenge. Eventually, however, they learned of his true nature, and while still a bit wary of him, they agree he is definitely a nice guy (and also because their weapon of choice is the Finger Gun, while the Iron Giant despises guns)
    • A similar event to the giant happened with Princess Bubblegum, with the cups thinking Baroness von Bon Bon had ascended. After they were proven wrong, Bubblegum was quite willing to spend some time with the pair, and hopes that they can get along with fellow adventuring brothers Finn and Jake, should they meet. Speaking of Baroness von Bon Bon, Cuphead got along with Hansel and Gretel because he's read their tale to know that if someone is inviting him to gorge on candy, that's usually a sign that they want to eat him.
  • Speaking of soul contracts, they always take potshots at Kyubey, or any other Incubator, if they ever so much as see his face; the sorts of contracts HE dishes out, even though he holds up their bargain no questions asked, are quite a bit nastier then the one the cup brothers faced, given the fact he specifically targets innocent young girls who would not be likely to capitalize on these deals not to mention inevitably becoming Witches means he's arguably worse than the Devil they used to work for.
  • Many of the friends and fans of the duo cheered upon their announcement of a most exciting addendum to their adventures on a brand new isle with brand new foes, tokens and even new friends.
  • Much to everyone's shock, during the fifth Smash tournament Cuphead's likeness became available as a Mii Gunner costume. Though Mugman was disappointed that he also didn't get a Mii Gunner costume, he applauded his pal for getting in Smash as the highest honor. Sans was not surprised at all, and welcomed Cuphead in.

BRAVO!

    King Ramses 
King Ramses, God of Out of Place CG (Professor)
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/5d5366b47bc2a01011c3d9200949738c.jpg
  • Intermediate God
  • Symbol: His slab
  • Theme Songs: Return the Slab, The Man In Gauze
  • Alignment: True Neutral, goes straight into Chaotic Evil when his slab is stolen.
  • Portfolio: Nepharious Pharaoh, Our Ghosts Are Different
  • Domains: Curses, Revenge, Pharaohs, Spirits, Slabs
  • Enemies: Eustace Bagge, all Grave Robbers, Yuuki Terumi (For placing his slab in the Pantheon), Gozer, The Other Ramses, Mr. Burns, Nagash, Dark Danny, King Boo, Babidi, Nyarlathotep, anyone who would steal his slab
  • Feared by: Courage the Cowardly Dog, Muriel Bagge, Misty
  • Avoided by: The Egyptian Pantheon and really, Pharaohs in general
  • Currently Watched by: SCP Foundation
  • King Ramses is a Nepharious Pharaoh whose spirit is tied to a slab with engravings carved into it. When it was stolen, he went absolutely berserk, hunting down the thieves and eventually Eustace who also gets his hands on it, causing him to come into conflict with the Bagges.
  • It was a bright and sunny day in the Pantheon when a stone was found in the House of Commerce. Mr. Burns, seeing value in the item, took it and stored it away. Unfortunately, that night, he found himself plagued by happenings like floods and loud music. (Don’t ask.) He was soon confronted outside by a strange-looking creature, who sent a horde of locusts to eat his mansion. Mr. Burns refused to give the stone to the being, which resulted in a less than pleasant fate for him.
    • Ramses soon learned that it was Yuuki Terumi who introduced his slab to the Pantheon For the Evulz. Because of this, he really wants him gone. He despises trolls because of this and is opposing the Trollkaiger.
  • Doesn’t normally appear unless his slab is stolen. Due to this, he doesn’t really have any allies. Not that he cares about allies, of course. All he wants to do is rest in his tomb, and would rather stay out of all conflict. Steal his slab, though, and he will make you wish you hadn’t.
  • He has multiple curses he can inflict. He can use a curse which can cause massive floods indoors, one where he can summon a hidden record player which plays loud music, and he can order a horde of locusts to eat anything in sight. These all pale in comparison to his most dangerous and final curse. He can turn someone into an engraving on his slab.
  • Those of the Egyptian Pantheon don’t know what to think of him. In general, they tend to avoid him due to how the best known way to speak to him is to steal his slab, which is a horrible idea. Honestly, Pharaohs in general seem to avoid him. He does have some animosity towards the other Ramses in the Pantheon, indicating that something might have happened involving the two.
  • Finds kinship with people that seek death like SCP-1440. He pities Kenny McCormick for his current predicament though doesn’t come out to aid said people in fixing these problems. He just wants to rest.
  • Babidi once thought it a good idea to steal his slab and take the opportunity when Ramses emerged to try to control him. While it made him stronger, Ramses was also able to resist all forms of Mind Control the wizard threw at him. Cue Curb Stomp. Babidi hasn’t attempted since.
  • The SCP Foundation decided to take actions regarding watching over King Ramses’ slab to ensure it doesn’t get stolen. While anomalous, they know he won’t bother anyone as long as his slab is left alone.
  • Misty is scared of him due to his ability to summon hordes of locusts capable of eating anything, fearing that King Ramses will make some eat her alive. She has been told that he will leave you alone as long as you don’t steal his slab, but this didn’t ease her fears that much.
  • Does not want anything to do with King Boo and Dark Danny for being absolutely monstrous evil ghosts. He’d like to remind you that he isn’t evil and just wants to rest. Gozer he also dislikes due to making ghosts go nuts everywhere he goes, which interferes with his rest as he is a spirit.
  • Courage, learning of his ascension, immediately decided to stay as far away from him and his slab as possible, a sentiment he shares with Muriel. Both of them remember what he did to their home. Eustace doesn’t seem to have learned his lesson, though. He keeps trying to steal the slab.
  • Despite Nagash being an undead ruler, Ramses wants NOTHING to do with him due to his unending depravity and desire for destruction. He is even willing to leave his slab without being provoked in order to help put an end to the Undying’s attacks.
  • Even though one of Nyarlathotep’s many forms is a Pharaoh, Ramses could really care less about him. Any attempt he makes at trying to influence Ramses are usually met by the spirit sending hordes of locusts at the Crawling Chaos.
  • ”Return the slab...or suffer my curse...”

  • Distrusts: The Metroid Hatchling
  • Opposed by: Hazel Levesque
  • Describing Henry Stickmin and the world surrounding him is not an easy task. While he might look simple to most, this man is actually an accomplished burglar and has gotten himself involved in numerous high profile crimes like the attempted robbery of a bank, escaping prison and the theft of the Tunisian Diamond. Henry would eventually be recruited by the army in order to take down the Toppat Clan, be sent to the Wall, a high security complex and then get involved in the Toppat's attempt at launching a space station. Henry has no shortage of ways to get himself into trouble. Then he got ascended into the Pantheon, but this time he wasn't alone....
    • Turns out Henry ascended with two of his closest allies. Charles Calvin, an helicopter pilot from the government who Henry has worked alongside plenty of times, and Ellie Rose, a fellow inmate in The Wall that Henry can potentially escape with. The trio were happy to get reunited in the Pantheon, as they know the three working together are an unstoppable force and the reason behind their ascension, at least concerning Charles and Ellie, was to keep Henry in check as he is known to get quite reckless when something piques his interest. Given their stick figure animation style, Henry and his friends were ascended for that title, hopefully to avoid Henry stealing it.
  • So you may be wondering, from which timeline does this particular trio nail from? The answer? Yes. All the branching paths are canon and Henry has a remarkable memory about all those events, even those that end in a FAIL. Certain details, whether Henry sided with the Toppat Clan or the Government, the means of how he stole the Tunisian Diamond or escaped the Wall and whatever transpired on the Toppat Launch Site can go either way, some events even have both Charles or Ellie be against Henry and while they’re certainly aware of that side of Henry, they still decided to stick to his side since they trust him and consider him a friend.
  • Whenever one of the three get into a bad situation, instead of dying like most deities, something called the FAIL screen triggers. The screen is thought to be self-aware, often making fun of whatever situation Henry or the other two got involved in and how they failed spectacularly while doing so, though sometimes the screen triggers for something as mundane as just eating something. That's why Henry and co. rarely, if ever, get sent to the House of Death and Postmortem, though Henry and Charles did emerge from there once involving some of the timelines they died for real.
  • Henry is often seen trying to rob the Pantheon Treasury Vault for many of its loot. Most of the time, it doesn't end well for him when things go wrong when breaking in. Once, he managed to successfully sneak inside by use of an invisibility cloak, and managed to reach his way all the way into the Magical Items subsection and got a hold of Felix's Magic Bag Of Tricks, which he left there for the day. The only reason why he got caught was that Felix managed to come back in time while Henry decided to have some cheese as a way to escape. Henry also later somehow managed to break into the Maximum Security section, a feat few dream of ever accomplishing and the exact details of how he even got there are unknown.
  • Henry and by extension Ellie usually find themselves in hot water with the House of Law and Justice given that they are notorious criminals. Several deities believe they should be locked up and pardoning them would be a great mistake as they are likely to steal again but Charles always comes to the defense of his comrades stating they would be incapable of robbing something that would warrant locking them up. Charles may be a bit too lenient but he still has the backing of his universes government to keep in touch with Henry and Ellie. Even then, some of the law enforcements such as Inspector Javert behave much like the agents of the Wall, outside of said Goverment's jurisdiction and wants to lock up the two for their crimes.
    • Amanda Waller notoriously has tried to coerce Charles into forcing both Henry and Ellie to work for her as part of the Suicide Squad but she was met with much opposition from the trio, especially after hearing about her controversial methods. Charles would usually try to avoid getting in contact with Waller and preferring to phone General Galeforce, who is a much more reasonable authority figure the three can trust, even if Henry and Ellie might actually be possibly not on their side (again, the canon is all over the place)
  • Henry once hired an attorney that looks an awful lot like Phoenix Wright when he was thrown in jail following the failed attempt at robbing the bank. The aforemention lawyer, Felix White managed to tip the trial in Henry's favor with presenting the bag that Henry hid in when he was robbing the bank as he couldn't tie himself on his own and testified against the witness. However, upon finding out that Henry actually did somehow managed to tie the bag from the inside, Phoenix Wright himself has tried to figure out how in the hell managed to do that in the first place but nonetheless Wright at the least now that, putside of potentially being the head of a criminal organization, Henry is a pretty alright person, or at the least the presence of Charles hints at Henry being more "subdued" to say the least.
  • Henry twice has tried to replicate Captain Falcon's signature moves, which obviously ended horrible for Henry. Though much later, having realized that trying to mimick him would go nowhere, he and Ellie managed to device a similar attack on their own, which is as deadly as the original: The Stickmin Punch. Captain Falcon is proud that Henry ultimately managed to accomplish the basics on the technique and is interested in taking him and Ellie on a fight in the future.
  • Henry has crossed paths with creatures from other franchises that gave him a bad time numerous times. First was that time he tried to use a crowbar but was assaulted by Headcrabs, which soured him on the aliens. There was also that time a Creeper almost killed him, though luckily it barely harmed Henry. He is also a bit apprehensive on Metroids, hoping the one Metroid Hatchling in the Pantheon won't attack him just because.
  • Teleporters are something Henry doesn't have a good track record with as they notoriously never work the way he intends them to which is why he avoids the House of Teleporting like a plague. He is also a bit jealous of those that can teleport with their powers or have teleporters that actually work as intended.
  • The Centre for Chaos Containment, a secret organisation in Henry’s universe tasked with dealing with chaotic situations, are very aware that Henry Stickmin is responsible for causing most of the notorious ones, plus a multiversal imbalance given all the timelines he can be involved in. By proxy, the SCP Foundation has kept an eye on Henry by the CCC’s request and unfortunately have had to deal with a dozen of situations Henry had kickstarted either for his greed or any collateral shenanigans. Henry was actually contained once though that ended up poorly for the Foundation, as most of the staff got distracted.
  • He is FULL of references from other franchises, which caught the attention of Peacock. After being floored with just how much he referenced, she somehow convinced Big Band to let Henry help her when she has to go take down some members of the house of Crime, as it wasn't his first time helping the side of good. It also helps that Peacock and her gang will sometimes look the other way if Henry wants to try and steal something that isn't evidence that she needs to take back to Big Band.
  • Charles is notorious for crashing his helicopter or whatever he is piloting as the first course of action he would take in almost any situation, it's his greatest plan after all, one that unfortunately Henry has always ended up suffering because of. There was one instance that it worked, though it lead to a series of events that ended with Charles performing a Heroic Sacrifice to save Henry. Needless to say, Charles remembers that and is happy that at least he managed to succesfully pull it off, consequences aside.
    • Charles also ended up becoming good friends with Launchpad MacQuack, a fellow pilot though one with a penchant to crashing his aircrafts, though not intentionally like Charles occassionally does. As a fellow Ace Pilot, Launchpad has praised Charles piloting skills though when it comes to his aim, he does have a few problems with it considering how many times he accidentally got Henry or Ellie killed.
  • Hat Kid initially confused the trio because they swore that she was seen among the Toppat Clan, though she has no recollection of being aligned with any "Toppat" as far as she is aware (she got scared because at first glance, Charles threatened her with crashing his helicopter on her if she were a Toppat. Thankfully, that didn't happen). She is also a huge fan of how Henry and Ellie dance and has shown them a few of her moves.
    • This friendship with Hat Kid has made them all enemies to The Empress, regardless if they are working with the Government or not. Of course, it's obvious in the case with Charles, as she is a mafia crime lord and the Government wants them arrested, but for Henry and Ellie, Hat Kid is a friend to them, and if the Empress has a problem with her, than they have a problem with her as well. Seeing how great they work together, and how Charles tends to crash into her store with his helicopter to help Henry and Ellie take back anything she stole, The Empress has her eyes on them.
  • If anything resembling jewelry is seen, you bet Henry will try to steal it. Once he heard of Hazel Levesque possessing a few rare and valuable gems and sneaked into her temple and stole a few. Only later he realized those were cursed and he ended being hit with a really bad case of terrible luck (like usual). Thankfully, the FAIL screen popped up so Henry ultimately didn't get stuck with a curse forever but Hazel now is aware of Stickmin's actions.
  • Many wonder what Ellie ended up doing to get locked up in the Wall of all places, though considering she has similar interests as Henry, some believe she is also a notorious thief. A lot of deities also believe she and Henry are romantically involved though both have denied those statements.
  • Henry is said to be really good at distracting people, a bit too good, in fact. There was a time where he and Ellie attempted to steal a highly valuable object from the GUAE by request of the GUAG and he successfully distracted an entire temple with his dance. Nobody is sure if that mission was even a success.
  • For the record, it's StickmIn, not StickmAn. He really doesn't blame others for getting it wrong though. However, there is an actual Henry Stickman in that universe and he was so fed up for being confused for a criminal that he became a Toppat operative just to prove those people right.
  • Henry has a complicated relationship with The Chosen One, still remembering the time where he and the Dark Lord terrorized StickPage and Newgrounds, two pages on which Henry was in. Despite the Chosen One reasurring him that he has changed, he still doesn't trust him.

  • Ittle Dew and Tippsie are a pair of travelers that generally seek one thing: Adventure. Spending most of their time floating on a raft in the middle of an ocean, their adventures generally go like this: the duo end up crashing on an island, breaking their raft in the process, find out that said island not only contains a great treasure, but also happen to contain pieces to build a new raft, they set off to plunder the island of its ritches and leave. They also usually happen to contain many puzzles to solve, most of varying difficulty. What happens during said adventures is a different story: from inadvertently playtesting the dungeons of a wealthy item carver to fighting off a cranky island caretaker and even unraveling a (rather half assed) government conspiracy), the two have always came out of them victorious, ready for whatever life would throw at them next.
  • Initially, they didn't treat their arrival to The Pantheon as anything special, they simply washed ashore of its beaches, found out an overcomplicated way to get a new raft, and went on an adventure involving collecting the materials to craft a new raft. However, during said adventure, Ittle noticed that the strange realm was packed with potential new dungeons to explore and treasure to loot, which their raft quest was only showing a silver of said locations. So as soon as the duo collected the necessary materials, Ittle managed to convince an initially reluctant Tippsie with the promise of infinite health potions, and after figuring out about the places title system managed to snag Line Boils for themselves, thanks to her home realm retaining the artstyle even in 3D. The two now sail the realm's oceans, waiting to find an oppertunity for adventure.
  • The first real interaction the two had during their adventures was with the Epic Battle Fantasy Team, a group of adventurers notorious for pointing out and snarking about nearly everything they come across. Since Ittle and Tippsie had similar mindsets regarding their quests, the two groups instantly hit it off, with both parties casually discussing their journeys and how oddly frequent certain aspects were. While Ittle generally likes to work with Tippsie only, ever since then she occasionally tags along as the obligatory Guest-Star Party Member, her puzzle solving skills proving useful to the team.
    • A bit afterwards, Ittle was once sleeping while floating on her raft, only to be awakened by the sound of a ship pulling up next to her. It was Toon Link, an incarnation of the heroic Link, who mistook Ittle and Tippsie as being stranded and was offering to give them a ride. An annoyed Ittle had to explain that, no, she was not helplessly stranded on a raft, that was just her perferred method of travel. Still, since she was bored out of her mind, she accepted the ride anyways just to do something. This turned out to be a good idea, as during the ride she was facinated by Link recounting his first adventure, which Ittle thought was much more exciting than her usual low stakes dungeon trips. The two frequently crossed paths ever since, with Ittle looking forward to whatever cool adventure Link was willing to tell her about.
  • After some misadventures involving a shovel and a metal detector, the two somehow managed to find themselves in Apature Labs and were confronted by its current guardian, GLaDOS, who invited them to solve some puzzles for a "prize". Ittle, thinking that the whole test thing wasn't much different from the antics of her friend Itan Carter, agreed out of boredom, only to find herself even more bored upon realizing that the whole thing was exclusivley puzzle-based without anything to break other than the occasional fragile turret. It was only when GLaDOS eventually attempted to murder the two, the whole encounter having been an elaborate ploy to kill the intruders, did she actually start having fun, managing to beat the psychotic AI and escape. She's still pretty sour over the lack of a prize, though.
    • A simular incident happened involving The Narrator under the same circumstances, with the disembodied storyteller promising them an "unforgivable adventure", and Ittle going along out of boredom. While the resulting "story" had little to no dangers or traps, the sheer lack of action or anything "breakable", alongside her disliking the linear "progression" of the story, bored her even more than before, and in turn started lampshading and criticizing any plot point she could find just to get at least some enjoyment out of the experience. Both parties would leave with unflattering opinions of each other, with Ittle and Tippsie calling the narrator a pretentious snob while the Narrator thought they were brats that don't appreciate a good story. That said, the Narrator can't help but feel like hes seen the two on a picture before...
  • A particularly odd day had Ittle and Tippsie overhear an incredibly bizzare song whenever they found a secret area. Considering that the duo have basically made it their free time to finding these areas, they ended up hearing it a lot throughout the day. While Ittle thought it was hilarious the first couple of times, the next 15-20 times she started getting sick of it. Eventually reaching her boiling point, she managed to track down the source of the song, a gigantic space bear named Honey Hug, and started yelling at him to "cut it out", threatening to call a Bear Miner on him before storming off. Honey wasn't exactly sure what a Bear Miner was, but he didnt like the sound of that, so he stopped bugging the two for now.
  • It should be noted that, while she generally perfers smashing everything in sight, Ittle is actually fairly intelligent when it comes to puzzles, having bested two separate islands cralwing with challenging puzzles, a few of them having some strange and obscure steps and solutions. While she generally doesn't seek them out, she's recently heard of the Legendary Titans, a trio of pokemon that can potentially obtained by solving a series of logic defying puzzles, and, thinking that having access to a couple of powerful monsters would be really cool, is planning to locate and capture the beasts for herself. So far, the only thing that's stopping her is the fact that she doesn't have a flying pokemon, as she's already mapped out and figured out the solutions to the puzzles. She's currently saving up to buy some pokeballs to catch both a flying pokemon and the Regi Trio themselves.
  • Tippsie, Itlle's sarcastic Fairy Companion, is shown to be addicted to health potions, with many gods comparing it to that of acohol addiction. The duo's most recent adventure had her in withdrawl due to a lack of potions anywhere (Thanks to Ittle secretly swiping any she finds just to mess with her), so by the time they arrived at the Pantheon she immediatly set out to find if anyone or anywhere has any decent potions to drink. Luckily for her, it did: The Monster Hunters, as well as survivors Steve and Alex, regularly brew potions of various effects to aid in their adventures, including healing potions. Ever since encountering them, Tippsie is often seen trading with them for some quick potions, with Ittle often popping in to converse with them, seeing as they're fellow adventurers.
    • That said, her addictions have lead to some conflict with some gods. Encountering the sociopathic Black Mage, the two can often be seen bickering over the quality of potions, as BM despises the taste of them and compares it to "cheap coke", with said arguments often going on for hours on end. She also had an encounter with the infamously insane Don Quixote, who claims to have created an all healing elixir and offered one to the fox, only for her to end up with stomachaches and vomiting issues for the rest of the day.
  • Ittle was one of a handful of characters to have visited Slap City, a small town that thrives off of the regular tournaments and fights that happen there. During said visit, she ended up encountering and thwarting a devious plot from the mayor, who plotted to weaponize the "hitstun" technique to freeze the world and rob as many banks as he wants, ending up stealing his riches afterwards. Ittle, being a fan of beating the crap out of random enemies, generally enjoyed the frantic and chaotic fights that she participated in and decided to see if there was anything like it in the Pantheon. Luckily, there was: the Super Smash Bros tornaments, hosted by Master Hand, are incredibly simular to Slap City, from the arenas to the methods of elimination. Ittle has since frequently asked the enigmatic floating hand of she could one day join the tornaments, and while Master Hand has put her on a "wait and see" list consisting of hundreds of simular requests, he appreciates the enthusiasm and welcomes her to spectate, which Ittle admits is better than nothing.

  • Michael Stone is a British middle-aged customer service expert and self-help author on a trip to Cincinnati, Ohio to promote a new book at a convention and spends a night at a hotel during that time. He suffers from the Fregoli Delusion, a mental disorder that makes him perceive everyone, even his own wife and son, as the same generic white guy with the same voice. An encounter with Lisa Hesselman, an insecure woman who is spending a night at the hotel with her friend Emily while attending that same convention, leads to a potential romance between Michael and Lisa, as he sees something unique in her. Unfortunately, the day following their initial nighttime meeting, Michael ends up seeing Lisa as being like everyone else and he ends up having a breakdown during his convention speech over how lonely he is. The only thing this trip has given Michael was a Japanese sex doll as a gift to his son and that his life will continue to be depressing, though Lisa has become more confident in herself following their meeting and hoping they can meet again someday.
  • Life continued as normal for Michael until he received a letter praising him for the self-help book he wrote and that he got a voucher to be part of the Pantheon that he needed to redeem in order to be part of it. What followed was another trip for Michael, unsure of what was happening and if what he got was something worthwhile or not. He then found himself talking to some people who gave him a rundown of the Pantheon and that despite the more fantastical elements of that world, he can still live a normal life and that there are people who are willing to help him with any problems he’s suffering from. Michael still had his doubts about the Pantheon, but given that the voucher he got in the mail and took to that orientation was already accepted, he had to continue his life in an unfamiliar world, one that could either improve his life or make it even worse than it already is.
  • Despite being one of the more mundane-looking individuals in the Pantheon, Michael is distinct in regards to his Fregoli Delusion making him see everyone as the same person. Where others would see Mickey Mouse as an anthropomorphic cartoon mouse, Michael would see him as a generic white guy wearing a mouse costume and such perception would also apply to other characters that are humanoid, but aren’t actually humans in the traditional definition of the word. Given how much the mundane and the extranormal intersect in the Pantheon, this would pose a problem for Michael, who is more interested in trying to live normally and not go through a deadlier version of his nightmare where identical beings were in love with him and trying to stop his relationship with Lisa from being fully realized. Problems that go beyond someone’s psychological well-being are little more than an added burden for Michael’s loneliness even if he wants to improve his own life.
  • One idea that people have suggested to Michael during his time in the Pantheon was to talk to a psychologist who could fix some of the issues he has with his life. This would lead him to Frasier Crane, a psychologist who runs a radio station and talks to his patients via such. Hearing about someone who perceives others as the same person came as a surprise to Frasier, especially since the disorder in question is a rare, but real mental problem that contributed to how lonely Michael is. Michael has never actually met Frasier in person despite talking to him regularly on the latter’s radio show (not helped by the fact that to Michael, Frasier sounds like everyone else) and while Frasier has helped different people with their issues on his show back then, someone like Michael is going to require a fair amount of sessions for progress to be made.
    • While Frasier serves as Michael’s primary psychologist, there were others in that field who were very different in terms of what they’re willing to do. Takuto Maruki was intrigued with Michael’s disorder, seeing it as cognitive distortion, and is more than willing to help Michael overcome that problem even if Maruki doesn’t have the same power that he had back then to accomplish it (and even if he did, Michael isn’t sure whether to trust him or not). While Maruki means well despite some complications on his end, others are psychologists who are not-so-well-intentioned with their patients and have arguably made their lives worse. Jonathan Crane was one such figure who Michael would prefer to stay away from no matter what and the fact that Jonathan is also a criminal known as Scarecrow with a fascination on what people fear and uses it against them added to Michael being selective on what psychologists he’s willing to talk to.
  • Michael already had a failed romance with Bella and while it seemed like his relationship with Lisa was going to make progress, it ultimately went nowhere despite Lisa being willing to meet Michael again. Not even being a married man with a son has made things better for him and the Pantheon having a multitude of people who have had relationships that either worked out or failed for one reason or another only made him wonder what could have been with Lisa had things actually worked out between them. Learning about toxic love affairs between others (whether it was one or both not being well mentally or things getting deadly between them or someone who’s unfortunate enough to be a witness in that affair) only made Michael worry about what could happen in the long run if he ended up with Lisa and his mental problems weren’t fully resolved by that time. Michael’s problems with maintaining a healthy relationship (and possibly starting one) have been brought up in some of his conversations with Frasier, though Michael isn’t certain if talking to someone else knowledgeable in the concept of love would lead to better results in the long run or something worse.
  • Perceiving everyone to be the same person was one thing, but as Michael discovered reading about others with mental disorders, it could have been a lot worse. Fuminori Sakisaka was someone who saw the world differently from others, but in his case he saw everything as masses of flesh and gore everywhere except for someone named Saya, who he perceived as a pleasant-looking girl instead of the monster that she actually is. Others didn’t have a condition as extreme as Fuminori’s but otherwise had their own issues including forms of paranoia where they think that others are going to harm them regardless of whether those people mean well to them. Learning about such strange and disturbing mental problems others had unnerved Michael as if he had additional issues on top of what he already has when it comes to perception, he would be more lonely than he already is.
  • During his convention speech, Michael went on a tangent about the American government, which only exacerbated his mental problems and feelings of loneliness. He was perplexed to learn that many real-life American politicians that existed well before his time are alive in the Pantheon, though there are a few who aren’t part of real-life history books as well. Frank Underwood was a politician that was highly corrupt to the point that anyone who isn’t aligned with Underwood would likely agree with Michael’s rant about problematic politicians. Underwood couldn’t be bothered to pay attention to someone that had nothing going for him and Michael wouldn’t want to get involved with someone whose politics are much worse than what he ranted about back then.
  • Michael isn’t the only individual that is described as lonely, but compared to others that have friends despite their loner attitude, he hasn’t been able to find someone to truly be with despite being a married man. The Pantheon has given some of these loners friends if they haven’t already and there are people who are genuinely willing to help Michael with his problems and overcome them so that he can be more well-adjusted. Despite this, there are some solitary denizens of the Pantheon whose mental state is much worse than Michael’s and are willing to harm others in different ways. Learning about how unstable some loners can get worried Michael and those who are sympathetic to his problems have done what they can do to make sure he doesn’t end up in a worse state mentally.
  • There were plenty of workplaces in the Pantheon that have looked at Michael’s self-help books and saw them as effective tools in making the work area operate better. Despite Michael Stone’s personal problems, high-ranking personnel in the workspace such as Michael Scott are willing to meet up with him to discuss the former’s books and give him a bit of time to make a motivational speech for their employees. While some are friendly, if a bit odd in different ways, that he is fine talking to them, other bosses are not so kind to their employees and have dismissed Michael Stone’s line of work as worthless. He already isn’t willing to meet up with abusive bosses to begin with, but the fact that some who have taken the books into consideration are willing to twist whatever useful advice is present in them to make their employees have a false sense of security disheartened him.
