REWORK SANDBOX
Nightelf37
IMPORTANT NOTES TO SELF:
0) When you make a post, have only 1 profile if it's really long (10 note bullets or more, including 2nd and 3rd tier). If you got other stuff to say, you can post only 1 profile (less than 10 bullets, including 2nd and 3rd tier).
1) Don't create deities whose titles play with tropes!
2) Warn tropers beforehand before you modify titles to your style in their sandboxes. If you're not sure of the gender or how to word the trope, LEAVE IT BE, no matter how awkward the page would now look!
3) Do not make templates before the troper wants it to, not even hidden ones.
4) Reservations for candidates for tropes are FIRST COME, FIRST SERVE. Any hopes to claim another's is all up to the troper. And there are some, like r-lock256, who are territorial about it in regards to specific tropers such as myself.
5) There's no need to repost a profile just before ascending them.
6) Make sure you do the research if you wish to work on a deity.
7) Don't notify others of what you've posted last page. Nobody gives a damn.
8) As long as you have enough [tup]s, you may take your time in ascending your profiles.
9) Profile reworks that add characters or merge profiles can be posted in the main thread.
10) Stop doing long drawn out suggestions about something and later post two long ass profiles and constantly repeat it over and over again until someone listens. It's annoying, a waste of space and makes it less likely for someone to notice you. It can even make others think you are a bot instead of a regular person.
11) Long posts makes it more likely for others to outright ignore you. So if you have a long profile to post, your post should not have a second profile.
12) Make sure your profile is updated before you post a profile again.
13) The mods have marked you for your misconduct. Keep on the straight and narrow from now on or risk expulsion.
14) Two profiles with a maximum of ten flavour texts is advised for a single post with minimal other questions/comments. Any longer, and only one is allowed. Other questions/comments risk getting lost if shafted with two profiles.
15) Single sentences must not be too short, lest they be regarded as too generic in content.

- Class 6: No known notable effects directly caused by it, in the Treasury for symbolic importance or other reasons, safe for use. Any Treasure that is otherwise an ordinary object that can technically be found in the real world such as The Art of War is considered a Class 6 despite the lessons it imparts that can lead to real damage from warfare.
- Class 5: Capable of affecting an individual in some form or another, such as through giving them superhuman abilities, inducing memory loss, or killing them. Any corrosive type of weapon, trinket or strong material such as Vibranium is given this designation. Any normal Behelitnote is considered a Class 5 object.
- Class 4: Capable of causing a localized group of people or an entire settlement to be heavily affected, effects (positive or negative) can spread further if left unchecked, bearing the risk of becoming a Class 3 threat. Has possible mild reality-warping effects. The Death Note can be counted as a Class 4 for being able to remotely kill people via writing their names, as can the Crimson Behelit for transporting the entirety of Guts and company to the site of the Eclipse for sacrifice. Power-boosting objects such as Aghanim's Scepter are considered Class 4 as well.
- Class 3: Can affect society on a large-scale, cause complete structural and societal collapse of a species or mass environmental effects. This can range from destroying a city (Godzilla-levels of damage) to the mass enlightenment of the human species. The treasure in this case is likely to have reality-bending effects. A standard large nuclear warhead would be considered a Class 3 object, though a Class 2 threat would be apparent if nuclear armageddon like Judgement Day happened. Objects capable of giving a user control over abstract concepts like magic and time often begin here.
- Class 2: Treasures capable of affecting planets and the areas around it, at most an entire galaxy, such as through the destruction of a planet or terraforming a planet into metal or waste material. Galaxy-wise, this can also abound from the complete freezing of a galaxy in time or transferring it into a pocket universe. Basically, the effects can range from planetary to stellar to galactic-scale. Expect treasures from this point to be considered extremely powerful, if not the most powerful, objects in their home universe. Since they are able to be used to wish for resurrection, immortality or the complete destruction of a planet though with limitations on the part of the wishing dragon, the Earth and Namekian Dragon Balls are considered Class 2 objects, though the Super Dragon Balls constitute Class 0 objects.
- Class 1: Reality warping objects capable of causing positive or negative effect to an entire universe. These artifacts are almost always full-on Reality Warpers, able to cause universe-ending events such as plunging it into blackness or wiping out half of the universe's population. Objects affecting the flow of abstract concepts or traverse it such as time machines and dimensional travel portals are considered Class 1, no matter how benevolent or Played for Laughs they may seem, due to the inherent dangers they present. Just look at Back to the Future Part II.
- Class 0: Reality warping objects capable of affecting an entire multiverse and at worst (or best depending on the nature of the object, but it's often worst), the entire fictional Omniverse. Only a few objects are capable of causing such effects on the cosmic scale, and are almost always reserved for Maximum Security. This may likely be brought about by representing an abstract concept of creation or having no otherwise stated limits in their respective stories. The Anti-Life Equation is at least capable of causing the complete subjugation of all beings in the universe, the ultimate goal of Darkseid, but in the hands of its true wielder, the Anti-Monitor, it is almost certain that a Class Z event will occur and result in the ontological annihilation of absolutely everything.
- Some notes:
- Being a Class 5 artifact does not denote that it is weak or insignificant compared to the others. Some well-known ones like the Holy Grail are Class 5! This merely means that their effect is limited to one individual or their effects are less impactful on the cosmic state of the universe.
- Since the SCP Foundation is in charge of documenting the Treasures in the Vault alongside Turaga Whenua, the Treasures are also listed by the Foundation's object classes, though only with their primary classification. Class 6 objects are equivalent to Safe-class SCPs, Class 4 and 5 objects are equivalent to Euclid-class SCPs and Class 1 to 3 objects are equivalent to Keter-class SCPs. Due to the constantly changing nature of some Treasures, this is not a hard and fast rule.

[[caption-width-right:XXX:[[labelnote:bleh]]\\image link here[[/labelnote]]]]
I feel there are two kinds of ways one wishes to revise a profile, and that it should always be made clear every time to avoid proposing a rework when it's actually unnecessary.
One, a troper merely warrants to change a deity's title and assigned trope, and possibly a House transfer depending on the trope. (I have done this when I wanted to rework Cordelia.)
Two, a troper want to do a big rework of a deity's profile, which will require much discussion in this thread (and the old restructure thread).
So my question is this: regarding (Insert Character Here), whom I wish to change his title from (Old Trope) to (New Trope), is my planned profile revision a case of Type One, or a case of Type Two?

- Souta Kishibe was a fanboy of magical girls, but he barely had any friends to share his interest with (apart from his Childhood Friend Koyuki Himekawa, whom he hadn't seen since they went to different schools). When he was chosen to be one one day, she was shocked beyond belief. He eventually resolved to become his own ideal version of a magical girl, one who fights for justice. Unfortunately, he was killed when he unwittingly got himself into a death match with a bloodthirsty opponent, specifically the head of the Selection Exam they were in, Cranberry.
- The reason he's been selected for this trope is because his demise was never depicted on-screen or on-page, only referenced. In the light novel, it's only from Fav's updates that La Pucelle's death is mentioned. In the manga, it's the same. In the animé, while the cause of death is indeed shown, the nature of it (a car crash, fading to white just as he is thrown in front of it) means that depicting it in any detail onscreen, especially when it's happening to a minor, would not have flown past the censors.
- In one moment, he was waving goodbye to his friend Koyuki before leaving. In the next moment or after being beaten out of his MG form after a fight against Cranberry and then pushed into the path of a car, he's found himself in the Pantheon. There, the Court of the Gods have informed him on what had happened since his unfortunate end, especially the fate of Koyuki (thankfully, she's alive, but has been all but completely broken, though has attained a strong sense of justice and has earned a fearsome reputation for stopping rogue Magical Girls who would repeat what Cranberry and Fav [separately] desired). Unfortunately, her tale is not yet over, so there is no chance for her to make it here with him yet, which resulted in Souta suffering a period of depression; even if Snow White did make it here, she will have been changed so thoroughly that he would not be able to recognize her if they ever meet again.
- In battle, La Pucelle always keeps a cool head and always thinks of what's the best move to make next. Her Magical Skill is to change the size of her sword at will, and contact with the sword isn't required to do this. The sword's default size is 1 meter long and 40 centimeters wide, but she can shrink it to 50 cm long◊ and sheathe it like a hairpin, or expand it to over 20+ meters long, all these dimensions increasing proportionately to each other◊. This allows her to use her sword in a variety of unconventional ways and catch opponents off-guard in melee combat, such as a platform to stand on when a hole abruptly opens from below. And this power also applies to her sword's sheathe◊, granting La Pucelle a surprise bludgeoning weapon.
- Souta was led to the Magical Girl Sisterhood in an attempt to remedy his funk, given he's a fan of Magical Girls. He would've accidentally caused another riot upon his application—and this reveal of his MG form—were it not for the fact that Tail Red, another member of the Sisterhood, was also a member, and whose regular form is a guy named Souji Mitsuka. While Souta does not have twintails in either form, Souji still decided to help him out as a fellow Super Gender-Bender. Souta on the other hand feels a little envious that Souji never experienced (much of) the awkwardness from first having a female body due to his unnatural fixation for twintails (and the fact that Tail Red was really small). Well, there was the one time Souji's love to twintails got compromised after he was kissed by a girl that it turned his non-MG form female for a while.
- For the record, Souta had already met another Super Gender-Bender like himself once before (though he only knows their human name Kaoru). So meeting more than just Tail Red (and the other Twintail Warriors) wasn't too surprising. The next one he met was Natsuru Senou, who was super dense in the head likely from repeated subliminal brainwashing, and because he's just pretending to be dense due to how life-threatening all his love interests are. He also happened to be a death match victim (though hasn't died) and depending on the timeline has successfully thwarted the system. Other Magical Girls he's managed to make friends with is the Hero Club, mainly Fu Inubouzaki as she also has an extendable sword. And then there's the weird case (to him) that is Max Owen, being a transmasc who was deadset in being recognized as a man even if his transformation initially conformed to his biological sex.
- One thing of note that the Unmarked Anime didn't portray properly is that Magical Girls made by the Land of Magic are far, far stronger, tougher, faster, and more reflexive than one would think. Not just a few times stronger, but much greater than that, which can actually make them much better than most conventional Magical Girls.List of standard feats Regarding La Pucelle, she can stop a speeding truck by hand, ram a steel tower hard enough to shake it and snap attached power lines (not to mention dislodge people from it, in this case the Peaky Angels) and suffer no injury from it, swing a 13-57 megaton-heavy sword that's 20+ meters long to ragdoll a giant monster, and kick up a large trail of dust when running. Her sword is usually 1 meter long and 40 centimeters wide, but the longest she's expanded it is 20+ meters, and the widest she's expanded it is 2 meters (5 times the normal). Presumably, the thickness of the sword is usually 1/8th the width.
- Part of his ascension package was his Magical Phone for transforming and other features… except he's informed that one doesn't actually need the phone to transform (else how could Animal MGs operate them untransformed, and how about MGs from before the time of cellphones?). Just thinking of transforming alone is actually enough even when separated from it. The phone is just more convenient, and has additional features. Also, trapping him in a tight container won't risk him getting crushed transforming (given La Pucelle is bigger than Souta); she would just burst out fine.
- At first, La Pucelle held nothing personal against the Angel twins, the only other "Land of Magic MGs" also in the Pantheon, due to how he saw them before his death. However, he then learned from the others the terrible things they have done after that, like them ambushing Sister Nana and Weiss Winterprison and killing the latter (at the cost of one of the twins), leading to the former committing suicide shortly after, not to mention all of Swim Swim's victims thereafter (Top Speed (a pregnant woman), Tama (one of their own, though both twins were dead by then), and Hardgore Alice (a Magical Girl whose civilian form is even younger than Koyuki's, and Minael even suggested the plan), among others). Since then, he's come to oppose the two.
- There was one instance Souta went to an IRL meet with other MG fans as La Pucelle because he told everyone on the forum he uses that he was a girl. She had to use a disguise, but somewhere along the way, she had to flee from a creep (without breaking his bones) and lost all of her clothes and stuff save for her underclothes just from running. Souta hopes to find some way to acquire much more durable garments for next time. After overhearing him mutter about this, Rarity had a chat with him (after he recovered from the fact that a little unicorn was talking to him), and his being a Magical Girl was made known to her. After sweet-talking to him to confess about the whole Wardrobe Malfunction incident, she recommended him to Edna Mode's temple.
- During that visit, after being ordered to transform so she can see what she has to work with (having been told by Rarity about Souta prior), Edna herself had a few things to say, given she looks down on the Sisterhood as a whole aesthetics-wise. After hearing of her physical parameters, Edna stated she does approve of La Pucelle's apparel for the most part (hair tied back, not a lot of dangling stuff for anything to get snagged, though La Pucelle has never actually used her tail in combat), but comments the need for something to cover the chest area for modesty's sake. La Pucelle concurs to that, then remembers what she came here for; clothes that can withstand her maximum speed and durability. The gender-bent MG wasn't confident Edna could pull this off, but the super suit designer was not daunted, and cited the clothes she's made for the Parrs, who have Super-Speed and Super-Strength in two of its members (also, she has had to patch up The Flash's suits a few times since her ascension, and their max speeds are ludicrous.)
- And so Edna ran tests to verify the required minimum parameters for any clothing for La Pucelle (starting with chest covering)* . If there was any realization that her strength might just exceed Mr. Incredible's, Edna didn't show it. She had to admit that out of all the Magical Girls she's met (Ladybug aside), La Pucelle was not bad at all. While making "ordinary" clothes (both those that can hide her horns and tail such as cloche hats and long skirts [Edna had a few comments regarding that, and promised to find better looking threads], and those that don't) out of the required super-sturdy material needed to withstand La Pucelle wasn't quite what she's hoping for, this is merely another challenge for Edna Mode that she relishes in. La Pucelle also wanted a bag for carrying things, bemoaning having lost most of her haul the last time she went out incognito, and while Edna can make one that can withstand the MG, the insides will have to be altered to form a Bag of Holding so that the contents aren't jostled and ruined.
- Having been 14 years old and a middle school student, the age where image was everything, Souta had no way to share his interests at any meaningful capacity. It also didn't help that he was among jocks, who were at the age when they teased geeks for their glasses and the like. His magical girl interests being discovered would be social suicide, and being "outed" as a pervert, which he isn't. As such, he's thankful that such stigma isn't (as) prevalent in the Pantheon.
- Having been part of the school's club for it, outside of Magical Girl-related stuff, Souta also expresses an interest in soccer, and dreamed of becoming a pro and playing in Europe. The patron god of the sport Tsubasa Ozora, as well as his Pokémon Partner Cinderace, offer their condolences for him not being able to achieve his dream in the mortal realm. Souta's also shown some interest in tennis, having been a charming member of that team in school. He also used to attempt to practise meditation for a bit, though mainly to try to hide his potentially perverted thoughts from Snow White, whose power pertains to hearing thoughts of people in distress. However, he has since stopped whenever he's invited to since trying has just drifted his mind back to Koyuki, and how much she'll have changed since he died in the mortal realm, and that makes him depressed again.

- When it comes to twins, sometimes they tend to be similar to one another to the point of being indistinguishable from each other. Sometimes this makes them Creepy Twins. Sometimes it's Twin Telepathy. And sometimes, the writer just wants them to be Single-Minded Twins out of not wanting to make them distinct enough from one another.
- Mina and Yuna Amasato always did everything together thanks to their overlapping interests: same clothes, hung out together, and sort of knew what's on each other's mind. Even their mother sometimes had trouble telling the two apart, and neither get to keep any boyfriend around for long (since none of them ever entertained any Twin Threesome Fantasy, if the two even reciprocate that idea in the first place, given the animé shows them dumping one together who even asked for either of them to go out with him). They even became Magical Girls together when Fav selected the both of them, granting them not only similar appearances, but similar power sets as well* , and were established as a set officially by their shared ID in the system, preventing them from doing any sockpuppeting).
- Yuna and Mina Amasato ascended to their position not long after they both (separately) departed from the mortal realm, the former after provoking a Magical Girl with her girlfriend's appearance in a bid to kill them both, and the latter in a battle against the Big Bad examiner. The Court of the gods noticed that the both of them often have the same ideas, sometimes finish each others' sentences, and hardly argue with one another (at least never to the degree that it would end up with them refusing to talk to one another for days). After it’s revealed to them that Fav intended for there to be one survivor and not eight, they quickly realize that this means at least one of them was guaranteed to die no matter what if he had his way.
- The Peaky Angels' Magical Skills work great in tandem and are as follows: both have the ability to shapeshift, Minael into anything inorganic, and Yunael into anything organic. Their durability and strength remains the same either way, even if what they turn into might probably be stronger. Yunael can only copy another subject's form, but not any of their other abilities, and she has to commit the form to memory for authenticity. Minael is still technically organic even with an inorganic form as Cranberry's spotting her heartbeat and killing her in rock form would attest to, and she has to understand the object to transform into it, so she cannot transform into complex machinery if she doesn't first understand how it works. Since Mina's not an engineer nor has the necessary qualities to become one, she's unable to use the most out of her potential, and the same goes for Yuna. Unless they're in a fight though, Yunael and Minael often just use their abilities to prank other deities.
- One thing of note that the Unmarked animé didn't properly portray is that Magical Girls made by the Land of Magic are far, far stronger, tougher, faster, and more reflexive than one would think. Not just a few times stronger, but much greater than that, which can actually make them much tougher than most conventional Magical Girls. List of standard feats Regarding the Peaky Angels, who are presumably also identical in terms of physical parameters, they can shatter a wooden table in a single kick, leap out of a full speed SUV and impact the ground with its door after kicking it off, swing a massive glaive (Minael morphed into it) to carve up an entire room, and go in a wild chase across a district while carrying a safe that can fit a child inside in one hand and climb over a tall wall with it.
- They dislike dealing with Yakuza ever since attempting a scheme they had to embarrass Ruler by one of them pretending to be Calamity Mary, who has actually had dealings with such groups. It ended with some yakuza confusing the transformed Yunael for the real one, getting involved in a gang war, and a hectic escape from Mary herself without her knowing it was even them. Even if the Peaky Angels themselves can effortlessly curb-stomp any of the ascended yakuza members, even the likes of Majima and Kiryu if the two don't terrorize them first, they'd rather stay away. Despite her mischievousness, even Yunael would thwart a suicide if she can, and is the most likely between the two to do good deeds when Minael isn't there or able to arrange pranks, or if things are hectic enough that the elder sister has no time to argue with the younger one.
- One day, the Peaky Angels infiltrated a prop hunt event under someone's suggestion. The Animorphs were among the attendants, and on separate occasions, each of them "accidentally" acquired Minael (and fellow contestant Yunael, who was disguised) during this event. Turns out, somebody orchestrated the whole thing just to get the too-quickly-grown-up teens a chance to collect better shapeshifters whom they won't feel guilty doing (given the lines the pair crossed with the deaths they had a hand in during their Selection Exam in N-City). Tom Berenson on the other hand had an easier time when they ended up rescuing him from a bad situation. Having seen them in action before his rescue when Yunael insisted on it, he wasted no time acquiring the both of them as soon as they touched down so as not to risk them dropping him as all acquired beings do. For the record, due to the nature of Land of Magic MGs, neither he nor the Animorphs have access to the Peaky Angels' civilian forms.
- Because of their abilities, Yuna and Mina are good friends with Ditto, and Yuna gets along well with Beast Boy better than Mina. Of course, given their involvement in two murders, one being of a young child, Garfield Logan isn't too keen on hanging with them too much. In fact, given they can potentially effortlessly beat every creature he can turn into, he's downright secretly terrified. Because of their sisterly bond, The Peaky Angels also became fast friends with The Ice Climbers due to the both of them being co-dependant on each other. Popo and Nana are aware of what murders they've done, but the twins have done their share of cruelties, too. Despite not being actual angels themselves, The Peaky Angels have been getting along surprisingly well with The Anarchy Sisters too. Several deities have wondered if Panty would be able to turn Minael into a gun if she turned into a pair of panties first, same with Stocking and if she can turn Minael into a katana if she turned into a sock.
- While Yuna and Mina may appear kind and innocent because of their appearance, don't be fooled as the both are very devious and do whatever they want if it seems fun (which is the same reason they got into the Magical Girl Raising Project). It's not uncommon to see Yuna and Mina getting along well with Jibril due their shared mentalities despite their appearances. Despite the fact that they're university students, Yuna and Mina have yet to win a game of shiritori against Jibril. They're also envious in that they can't win in that game either against Sora and Shiro, who aren't even related by blood. And because of the two NEET's temple's rules, any harmful prank is off the table.
- While the Amasato Twins are good friends with Jibril, the same can't be said for the good-aligned angels of the Pantheon. Nor do they appreciate the angels who serve under YHVH, seeing them as total bores and killers of fun. When they were still alive, Yuna and Mina were forced into servitude by Ruler, who always yelled at them for their antics (which was entirely true). And because they had been coerced into being her subordinates by her magic (which they hadn't known was extremely restrictive to work), Yuna and Mina have developed a hatred for deities who forcefully make others serve them, especially YHVH.

- The quest to find a suitable Vampire-Werewolf Love Triangle candidate trinity was difficult, especially since the best known example is banished to Retconnian, and most other examples have since…violently resolved themselves. And with very few options, despite Yuki being not much of a love rival, her (unreqiuited) affections for Akira allowed the three to qualify and ascend to the Pantheon. That, and Mina vouched for her.
- Another interesting tidbit regarding this romantic triangle is that it's not the human that is in the middle, but the werewolf.
- Applies to the trio or two of them:
- The first thing that was done after ascension but before the ascension ceremony was revive Yuki from her coma, which she had been in after suffering brain damage as a result of an attempt on her life. Both Akira and Mina were grateful for this act. That said, some people not familiar with them showed later concerns about their triangular relationship considering that in the Pantheon, Yuki is now as "immortal" as Mina, but the vampire queen has no problems with sharing.
- During the ascension ceremony (with cries of relief from most in the Pantheon that they didn't need to ascend the Twilight trio, after all), the Bund was to be re-established in the Pantheon. But spacial limits forced Mina to limit it to just her mansion which got devastated at some point in their story. As such, she could only bring up its residents (at least those still loyal to her) as heralds. With the Pantheon being comprised of all types of races and creatures, negotiating would be somewhat easier. It also helps that two temples have been provided for them, one in Monsters and one in Couples Relationships.
- Said negotiations eventually commenced at her mansion with the Pantheon's good-aligned werewolves and vampires and their allies on arranging terms with joining the GUAG. This meeting was shortly crashed by evil-aligned vampires and other undesirables that didn't wish to see this through and an all-out brawl ensued, with everybody keeping Yuki and the other defenseless ones safe. Thankfully for Mina, she didn't need to bust out her full-powered adult form. Once the dust has settled, after hearing of Cosmos' motives, Mina decided that her side would be most beneficial for her Bund, and Yuki and Akira agreed.
- Some folks find it peculiar that some werewolves in their world are direct servants to vampires, given that in most other worlds, they're tense rivals at best and bitter enemies at worst. Of course, there are also a few where they are friends, but that's often in a Monster Mash kind of way, which includes Frankenstein's Monster, mummies, phantoms, etc.
- If you still doubt there is a love trangle between them, you can look at it this way. Instead of Akira in the middle with Mina and Yuki, think of it as Mina loving both Akira and Yuki.
- Why? Her relationship with her is only second to the one she has with Akira (and it just might be a separate-yet-equal thing). Mina has called Yuki her closest confidant after Akira, meaning that she trusts Yuki more than people she's known her entire life, and just slightly less than the man she loves. Mina has complimented Yuki's good looks on several occasions, and Yuki has been caught openly admiring Mina's adult form. She'd even risk an international incident just to spend time in the tub together with her in Yuki's apartment (though they all now share a "house" post-ascension). Yes, there was Skinship Grope involved. For her part, Yuki has a tendency to turn a lovely shade of red at all of these.
- They distrust Rasputin, given that in their world, he's an alias of Lord Ivanovic, one of Mina's "suitors".
- One ally they met during the negotiations was Rachel Alucard. Things were a bit tense at first due to Rachel abusing her familiars (though Gii deserves it for always prodding her Berserk Buttons and Nago seems to like taking pain) (though not Valkenhayn) and her snarky attitude, but having well-meaning intentions as well as everything she's done on behalf of the heroes in her world helped them see what she really is and a bond was forged.
- Apparently in their world, Mata Hari had tried to delve into the secrets of House Tepes by wooing the Beowolf guards and sleeping with at least four of them. It's not known what she's gleaned from them, if anything (though it's likely to be nothing since the guards knew who she was), but the Mata Hari here at least seems to have no intel on them apart from what's public knowledge.
- Exclusive to Mina:
- As an advocate for peace between vampires and humanity, Mina is naturally in the way of those who believe that vampires should keep asserting their superiority or are otherwise tyrannical towards humans and other "lesser races".
- She also opposes those who rely on certain prey for sustenance yet infect them with reckless abandon. After all, (most) vampires are like viruses; just as a successful pandemic can die out when it runs out of hosts, vampires can run the risk of doing the same to those they drink blood from. As for why her kind haven't flooded the world by now, it's due to most vampires succumbing to greed, delusions, or momentary pleasures that lead to their self-destruction, serving as a natural form of culling.
- Mina's Bund has such unbelievable wealth that she can pay off Japan's entire national debt and still have more to spare.
- The Lorenzo Corporation, a company in her Bund, developed "artificial blood" known as Stigma, which was how Mina has managed to sate the blood thirst of her kind, and lightblock gel to protect from sunlight. These commodities, of which she's started making available in the Pantheon, don't come cheap, though, even if LC has gas Instant Home Delivery services.
- Due to her experiences with the Three Clans and their lords who serve as her official fiancés, Mina is adverse to Arranged Marriages. Given she's lost her mother to them (and who was possibly raped), she especially despises those like them. Oh, and calling her mother a whore is a very bad idea, as is harming Akira or Yuki, especially the latter (since the former can hold his own in a fight).
- Having been a victim of an impostor plot before, she's made countermeasures against any repeats of that incident.
- Has a soft spot for good Samaritans willing to take in people in need since that's how she got by during both times she's been separated from her Bund, and it's why she holds faith in humanity.
- Has a small private cubbyhole that contains her true personal treasures; some old furniture, an antique gramaphone, a few other knicknacks, and many, many photos of Akira.
- Her kind of vampires can't catch the same diseases humans do except for tooth decay. In fact, some of her kind even like drinking the blood of the diseased, because it alters the flavor.
- Eventually however, word of her true form leaked out. Thankfully, with her new allies, the consequences weren't nearly as devastating as in their original world, though the load of pervy comments that come her way since then have increased, much to her and Akira's annoyance.
- Despite the whole vampire thing, some Fangless still hold to their religious beliefs. There's even a church with its own priest, no matter how demonic-looking he is. As such, she doesn't actually hold any opposition to the Christian faith, only to the overzealous hunters who claim to hunt her down "in God's name". YHVH's angels are a sore point as well.
- As an advocate for peace between vampires and humanity, Mina is naturally in the way of those who believe that vampires should keep asserting their superiority or are otherwise tyrannical towards humans and other "lesser races".
- To the surprise of many, her place has one massive anti-vampire measurement (despite, you know, being a vampire herself); panels in the walls that can flip around to let in sunlight into anywhere. Given its nature, it's naturally a last-resort measure.
- Exclusive to Akira:
- Thanks to his Beowulf Armor, Akira is no longer a Glass Cannon in the face of threats powerful enough to match his werewolf form.
- Silver weaponry is the only thing that can really hurt him. Not even being impaled by a broken-off church steeple comes close, though that would apparently do more harm to Mina, even in her true form, than to him.
- The easiest way to piss him off is to harm anybody he cares about. Even easier is to impersonate Mina.
- Queen Chrysalis experienced this firsthoof when she attempted to harvest the Bund's devotion to their queen by doing the latter (after getting the real Mina abducted in a GUAE mission). Akira swiftly sniffed the changeling out and was even swifter to tear her apart.
- Valkenhayn (servant to Rachel Alucard) has blessed Akira in his love for Mina and has even offered to train him some more if need be.
- As a werewolf, he can detect light down in the infrared spectrum. This includes the emitter in Yuki's right eye.
- Thanks to Mina's bite on him, on top of becoming a hybrid, he's now just as immortal as she is.
- Exclusive to Yuki:
- Yuki never knew her father, who died shortly after she was born. Her mother then returned to her job as an interpreter after that, and due to the burdens of that job, Yuki had to be a good girl for her, and it very much molded her into someone who would shoulder burdens (and that opportunists can take advantage of)
who was at the start of the story until meeting Akira and getting involved in his and Mina's lives.
- When she isn't tending to Akira or Mina's needs or attending at Elysium Academy with (or without) them, Yuki is often writing her novels and improving her writing skills, and thus sometimes visits the House of Narrative to polish up on that.
- One of her works is apparently a Boys' Love story, its protagonist based on Akira, and was apparently really good enough for Mina to personally translate it to Latin, have it published in the Bund, and even actively contribute to the writing process. Many heads were turned at this and she became a recognized potential writer as a result.
- Is often (she does her damnedest to, at least) the one who make sure Mina and Akira talk to each other and not keep secrets that could be very dangerous when spilled at the wrong moment. This was because the impostor Mina exploited this tendency during her "reign" of the Bund, and doesn't want it to happen again.
- Because her time with impostor Mina made her reflect on her life choices, mainly the question of why she stays with Akira and Mina despite the former essentially dumping her and the latter being the reason she can't ever have him, Yuki was curious on what the self deep inside her was like. But there's no TV World in the Pantheon, so...
- Because of the disaster that led to her coma, part of her recovery was the addition of an infrared beam emitter in her right eye. And thanks to the Pied Piper nanomachines inside of her, as well as an input-recognition program and a word processor, she can communicate via text. Now that she's recovered, the White Hats have made it so that she can do the same on other systems for discreet conversations, not to mention a firewall to prevent hacking. And those who can see infrared can follow where the beam is pointing.
- Speaking of the coma, there are a lot who are impressed with her given that she was willing to oppose the impostor Mina (since dubbed Katie Maurice) despite all the odds against her escape or even survival. She even used her infrared eye to secretly send a message to Akira, even when the fake Mina was able to decipher it within minutes (but not enough for her to secure Akira before his escape).
- After the whole impostor Mina incident, whereas Akira decided to stay with Mina after graduation, Yuki opted to go on to University, where she studied history, and had left to study abroad. She still has a limp, however.
- At the end of the events of "Scarlet Order", in order to discern the Aka Mitama's location and fully awaken Mina's power, Yuki had to make a deal with Katie Maurice, and eventually leave Mina's side to join her.

- In regards to her starting history before becoming a mecha pilot, there are three versions.
- In the Original Generation timeline, she was Ryusei's Childhood Friend and signed up as a military nurse, ending up in the Steel Dragon Battle Group (well, back when it was just the Hagane crew) before getting signed up as a pilot by Ingram, despite Ryusei's protests when he found that out during a sanctioned duel between the SRX Team (minus Aya) and the ATX Team. She would then be abducted and brainwashed by Ingram during his self-reveal as an Aerogater spy. She would shortly be broken out of it, and would continue as a pilot until the end of Operation SRW, and the L5 Campaign as a whole.
- At the end of that, she would proceed to work at the Tesla Reich Institute at the request of Jonathan Kazahara, where she managed its staff's overall health with an institute-wide exercise program, and provides all manner of exercise equipment and consumables. She would also continue work as a mecha pilot and help in a test run for the space-faring Calion units before being eventually tangled up in the conflict when the Tesla Reich Institute came under attack by the Inspectors trying to seize the Calions.
- In the Original Generation timeline, she was Ryusei's Childhood Friend and signed up as a military nurse, ending up in the Steel Dragon Battle Group (well, back when it was just the Hagane crew) before getting signed up as a pilot by Ingram, despite Ryusei's protests when he found that out during a sanctioned duel between the SRX Team (minus Aya) and the ATX Team. She would then be abducted and brainwashed by Ingram during his self-reveal as an Aerogater spy. She would shortly be broken out of it, and would continue as a pilot until the end of Operation SRW, and the L5 Campaign as a whole.
and joining with the rest of her friends once more to stop the threat of the Inspectors (once they came to ) and the Einst. (add more later as you play SRW OGs on the PS2)
- In the (canon) Super Robot Alpha timeline where she's the Player Character, she was just an Ordinary High-School Student (and classmates with Kouji Kabuto and Sayaka Yumi) who like many mecha protagonists end up Falling into the Cockpit of a mecha (the Grungust Type 2) when its plane ends up crashing in the school during a fight between Mazinger Z (well, just the Hover Pilder, actually) and a few of Dr. Hell's Robobeasts. Just like Amuro Ray, she got instructions to read (though reading them was optional in-game), and she also had Kouji to give a quick run-down on the basics of combat.
- In the (non-canon) Real Robot Alpha timeline where she's the Player Character, she's already a pilot in the military… who ends up Falling into the Cockpit of a mecha (Huckebein Mk II) that happened to be at the base she was assigned to during an attack from the Titans.
- Regardless of path, her actions in battle would heed the notice of the Earth Federation, and she would be drafted into the army, allying with the Londo Bell, when the Balmarian War breaks out. Also, either scenario has been a set-up by Ingram Prisken. Along the way, she would meet all sorts of characters, including Ryusei and the rest of the SRX Team. She would also find Bullet alive and well (seemingly lost when the mecha she would pilot crashed where he was at), but amnesiac and hostile.
- As the battles went on though, they thankfully eventually reunited courtesy of Irmgard Kazahara, and it would turn out that she and Bullet) have a great destiny ahead of them when the RyuOhKi and the KoOhKi, ancient Chinese Super Robots found and taken control of by Dr. Hell, break free from his control thanks to her Grungust's T-Link System, and combined with parts from her mecha, which had been wrecked by Big Fire during the battle. Kusuha and Bullet would utilize these super robots in their fight against the Aerogaters, and end the first Balmarian War.
- That said, the Earth Federation, fearing its power, ordered RyuKoOh and KoRyuOh to be dismantled, but Bullet successfully saved both the RyuOhKi and KoOhKi and placed them in hiding. She managed to live a peaceful life for some time after (also thanks in part to the events of Gaiden, though she and Bullet have been pressured by the Titans for information for a while before being released), studying to become a doctor, but she would find herself entangled in combat again when RyuOhKi appeared before her, heavily damaged, and the KoOhKi (with an unknown pilot) on the enemy side trying to destroy it before Volfogg and Guy Shishioh intervened. Mycenae Empire forces would arrive shortly after and KoOhKi would retreat, just as Kouji and his friends arrive on the scene to take them on and protect RyuOhKi, who would be later taken in by the GaoGaiGar team for repairs and rebuilt (with Grungust parts) into the Ryujinki for Kusuha to pilot. (add more later as you watch SRW Alpha 2)
- At one point in the Alpha timeline, Londo Bell had to assault the Angel Halo, an incredibly powerful orbital weapon of the Jupiterians, powered by the brains of 30,000 psychics, and was going to purge the people of Earth. Akira, Aya, Bullet, and Ryusei tried to counteract its psychic wave, but slowly failed and everyone was on the verge of being mentally assaulted, at which point Kusuha got really mad, and she counteracted the psychic wave and gave Maria and Shakti a psychic What the Hell, Hero? speech at the same time. To emphasize: Kusuha went up against 30,000 Newtype( brain)s at the same time, by herself, and WON.
- Because of her position, everybody fears her and her drinks, including men like Sanger Zonvolt and Guy Shishioh. Even Kyosuke panics if only for a moment when she starts offering them out. It knocks down everyone who drinks it (even though they'll feel fully refreshed later). So far, only Heero Yuy, Elzam Von Branstein (who may have even enjoyed its taste), and (by extension from the latter) Akihisa Yoshii have survived drinking it.
- Known survivors of Mystery Food X are a bit more willing to try her drinks though, to her joy, even if they still pass out afterwards, thus the claim to her title still holds even after that. As for their reasons, they claim at least Kusuha's brew actually has benefits.
- As someone who likes Mystery Food X, Mai Natsume had zero problems ingesting it, and didn't even faint, its restorative effects kicking in almost immediately. She's even considered ordering a few cups to go.
- (Rimuru Tempest, now immune to all poisons thanks to having inadvertently ingested Mystery Food X before)
- (those with heavy genetic modifications are also mostly immune to passing out, though only if they were baseline human)
- Known survivors of Mystery Food X are a bit more willing to try her drinks though, to her joy, even if they still pass out afterwards, thus the claim to her title still holds even after that. As for their reasons, they claim at least Kusuha's brew actually has benefits.
- Nobody knows what exactly is in her drinks (except Elzam), but the Council of Shadows suspect that Popeye has been suggesting the addition of spinach to her drinks, which may explain the 'good feeling' in the aftermath of the horrible taste.
- Recently tried to improve the taste of her Health Drink with tips from Morning Rescue, recommended by Madoka Kaname.
- Solid Snake also recommends her the Regain 24 energy drink. It falls to Kusuha to eventually build something combining Regain 24 and Morning Rescue.
- (OLD) Reading all these and listening to her fighting record, it was no surprise that people likes to target the meek Kusuha as a Damsel in Distress. Well, they pray that they can do it quick enough before she gets into the Shin RyuKoOh, because when she does, they're all in for a complete beating and gets reminded why that in the end she's the one wearing the pants in the relations with her boyfriend Brooklyn Luckfield. They also get reminded that she's been doing that since the incident with Euzzeth Gozzo.

- When it comes to fans, some of them are a cut above regular otaku. For most, it is as simple as being hired to work in the industry that deals with the media they love, but in fiction, it can go so far as to end up with their hobby based on something imaginary becoming real, and becoming a part of that. Usually, they're eager to answer the call, but soon learn that it's not as glamorous as they thought it would be, and will have to persevere until they truly become the hero they've always idolized.
- Ryusei Date started out as an Ordinary High-School Student, whose police officer father was killed in the line of duty, and whose mother Yukiko spent her time at the local hospital due to health complications pertaining to her being experimented years ago at a Psychodriver lab given she was one before passing the gift on to her son. Rather than continuing his life with an education, Ryusei enters the Burning PT National Tournament, in hopes of winning the grand prize money and accommodating his mother's hospital bills. However, he was being scouted by Ingram Prisken (and it turns out Burning PT was used a way to find potential pilot candidates). After managing a mecha that had the same control scheme as the game he was playing to repel an Aerogater that appeared after the tournament, Ryusei was recruited into the SRX Team due to his potential as a Psychodriver. He accepted under the condition that his mother be sent to a military hospital for further treatment.
- His inital training begun badly due to having to get used to the fact that wars in video games and wars in reality aren't the same and that the latter has greater consequences, but over the course of several missions aboard the Hagane and the eventual formation of the Steel Dragon Battle Group, he's learned and improved significantly, eventually becoming an Ace Pilot in his own right.
- Other ascended fans, such as Radical Edward, Subaru Nakajima, Izuku Midoriya, Luffy, Momoko/Hyper Blossom, the Flashes, Virgil Hawkins. Kick-Ass, Dragon Warrior Po, Kevin and Sam Flynn, Hiro Nakamura, Zoey, Raz Aquato, 9-volt and 18-volt, Eddie Riggs, Marina of Off The Hook, Booster of Team Lightyear, Adrien Agreste, Rainbow Dash
- (weird dynamic of Usagi being a fan of Sailor V, but still desires to be normal after becoming Sailor Moon)
- Cloud Strife
- oppose Teru Mikami (due to his worship of Light Yagami), Hal/Titan, Syndrome, Princess Morbucks,
- Apparently, in the Shin timeline, he was a colossal Jerkass, and he and Rai often got into fights with one another.
- It's true that Kusuha is a comrade-in-arms. Whether or not they were strangers before meeting, or were Childhood Friends, that's all there is between them, whether or not she moves on to Bullet or Bullet was her partner long before they became mecha pilots. Either way, Ryusei still became a pilot before she did.
- Dislikes those who treat war like a game, as his Foil Tenzan Nakajima had.
- (Teeth-Clenched Teamwork with Wars World COs)
- Opposes Kayaba for turning a game deadly for reasons even he doesn't remember anymore.
- Pities those unable to differentiate their games from real life, as was the case with Tenzan in the end, but holds contempt for those who think little of the lives of others when combined with this mindset.
- One former example is Ken Ichijouji, who—under his stint as Digimon Kaiser/Emperor—thought he was just playing a game against the 2002 Digidestined until things went out of control, and it gets hammered to his head that his battles and his acts of tyranny were all real, making him suffer a breakdown, and eventually turn face.
- Second were the Sword, Spear and Bow Heroes, and their refusal to acknowledge the world they were in was not like the video games they're familiar with, resulting in them not caring about the consequences of their actions and causing more harm than good along the way, forcing Naofumi to clean up their messes. At least after the Cursed Series, they're somewhat better about this now.
- Ryusei pities Ender Wiggin for the deception pulled on him in Command School, more rightly pissed at the government that made them think that the real skirmishes against the Formics were just simulation battles.
- There's also Johnny Cage (in certain continuities), who first assumed that the Mortal Kombat tournament was just an elaborate roleplay before being broken out of that notion hard. Fortunately, he eventually rises to become a hero in his own right.
- Loathes those who use systems that increase one's combat ability at the cost of the user's mind, just like Dr. Adler Koch's GEIM System did to Tenzan, Tempest Hawker, and Princess Shine (only the last of them was successfully rescued).
- When it comes to Stealth Mentors, just like Ingram Prisken had been, his opinions vary depending on their motives.
- (Sanger, for being unsubtle about this that the ATX Team knows his real intent)
- Holds some sympathy for the trope representative Ghaleon, given he was essentially blackmailed into doing evil, though his actual evil plot from before doesn't help his case. Still, he had learned the errors of his ways from back then.
- Satsuki Kiryuin
- Contempt for Zoom for his idea of "making better heroes through tragedy" due to getting innocent people killed in his "lessons".
- Thinks the Jigsaw Killer's idea of this as utter bullshit, especially when its "benefits" are far outweighed by its consequences. And he should know this.
- (Snape)
- (Q)
- (Golbez)
- (Kessler)
- (Meta Knight)
- (The Boss)
- (Miles Edgeworth)
- 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.
- In fact, his passion for fembots is great enough that during the Alpha timeline, Kouji gets a bit envious of the attention Sayaka gets from Ryusei.
- And then when a Goddess of Fembots finally ascended, he showed just how serious he was in his devotion. Arcee experienced that firsthand during her ascension ceremony, and was flattered, but asked him to tone it down. With that and all, they are still on friendly terms, with the femme admiring his dedication to protecting Earth and humanity against many threats that would come.
- There are rumors that he just added Yayoi into his "harem" when they were last time spotted watching a Super Robot anime together and having a mass Squee together, and crying over some scenes too. Ryusei doesn't know what the hell is this harem business is, but he does enjoy Yayoi's company and respect her dedication to fight for the good.
- The two are then joined by Otacon.
- It's been rumored that Ryusei actually knows, but is deliberately avoiding the issue altogether because his 'lovers' in the mortal plane are somewhat emotionally vulnerable and he isn't exactly keen on having to break someone's heart by dying or worse. Sure, the House of Life and Death can resurrect any who die, but he knows the pain of loss won't go away so easily. And he doesn't want his 'harem' to go through that, and so he plays dumb.

- Our story begins with Will, an academy cadet who signed up after his parent died in a previous war because he had no other relatives to care for him before meteors that devastated the entire planet and buried everybody. He managed to dig himself out in weeks, then started wandering along until finding a raider out for his blood... and a military unit looking for survivors (as well as driving off the raiders). This unit is led by Captain Brenner, with 1st Lt. Lin as his 2nd-in-command. One mission later, they also happen upon an amnesiac girl who's also paradoxically a knowledge trove in regards to army logistics of Rubinelle and Lazuria. For a year after Will's rescue, they fended off raider attacks and rescued refugees before finding shelter at a top secret bunker, where they took root. Eventually however, Brenner's battalion was called over by the New Rubinelle Army to join them in their (continuing) war against the Lazurians. However, after Lazurian Army was defeated, its New Rubinelle Army's leader Greyfield then decided to proclaim himself as King and went on a genocidal spree to exterminate them and Brenner's Wolves after a disagreement. Due to circumstances, and after Brenner sacrificed himself to give them time to escape, the remnants and the Battalion joined forces and eventually mobilized and turned around to stop Greyfield's plots. However, there turned out to be one last enemy; the PMC Intelligent Defense Systems, led by a clone of the Mad Scientist Dr. Caulder, who sees the entire war as an experimental playground for his tests, and had been behind the scenes for much of the story, such as providing super weapons, and having mutated the Creeper/Floral Virus to affect all humans, not just children. He was summarily defeated as well, and
In the world where Days of Ruin takes place, which is distinctly separate from the Wars World continuity of the games before it, there were two nations at war; Rubinelle and Lazuria. It lasted as long as 100 years, with several armistices This didn't change when meteors from the sky devastated the planet.
()
- Often, apocalypses bring out the absolute worst in people, make manifest the dark secrets most folks otherwise hide when law and order looms over their shoulder. And then there are those who strive to do the right thing despite all of that, or perhaps because their dark secret is the desire to be a hero. Either way, the Court of the Gods found the 12th Independent Legion, also known as Brenner's Wolves, fitting for the title. Its leader, Will, and his companion Isabella were chosen to be the representative deities. But what of the man whom the group is named after? Well, the House of Life and Vitality fixed that quick and brought the good captain Brenner back, resulting in a joyful reunion between the three. And after hearing what Will accomplished, Brenner couldn't be more proud of him.
- Will then wondered why Lin hasn't joined them. The Court's answer was that she's following soon under a different title (and a partner). However, after the merge of the Allied Nations, she was transferred back to the 12th Battalion. True, Lin doesn't exactly hold the same beliefs, but she fights for them regardless even after Brenner's passing.
- Applies to all or some of them:
- It saddens them that there is a much bigger war being fought in the Pantheon, but at least overall conditions are better compared to the recovering planet they come from. Still, people wonder how their world didn't get much worse that it should've in the wake of impact winter/darkness as a result of those meteors.
- Their settlement territory takes the form of New Hope/Hope Village, founded sometime after the end of the story . It also comes with the unit-producing structures in their world, which deploy automated vehicles (and supplied guns for Mechs and Infantry), though these stop working if they go out of range (which is still admittedly very large), so they're just for perimeter defense. Thankfully, there are better technologies in the Pantheon, as well as scientists and engineers to try and replicate these factories. They can also produce Rigs/Mobile Workshops that can create temporary airports/harbors on top of what Wars World APCs can do.
- Their ascension earned them odd and cautious looks from those who remembered the time the original Nintendo Wars deities first ascended. And among the first to greet the legion were those deities (Andy, Colin, Grit, Max, Olaf). Relations were terse at first given how they regard war, but they eventually reconciled those differences. The Fire Emblem deities also find themselves less uncomfortable in their presence compared to the other Nintendo Wars deities, given that the horrors of war are taken more seriously in their world.
- In terms of personal combat if it ever comes down to it, Lin and Brenner are more experienced in that regard, while Isabella is technically just a civilian, whereas Will is just a cadet and went straight to commanding sometime after Brenner's passing. For mysterious reasons, whenever they're in battle, they have a War Room where commanders of all sides can meet up without getting physical against each other. It makes for some humorous interactions, and what happens in the War Room stays in the War Room; they're essentially non-canon compared to the rest of the serious narrative. And it doesn't matter where you're fighting, even if it's on the wing of a giant plane; if any of their COs are involved, there will be a War Room.
- Unlike the Wars World deities, the COs of Brenner's Wolves can take to the field personally among one of their units, and as the unit they're with (be it a platoon or a company of vehicles) gets boosts depending on which CO it is, as well as a universal moderate boost in offensive and defensive power. When an enemy troop is eliminated within this radius, that radius slowly increases in range, and eventually enable them to use their CO Power. Unlike the Wars World deities, they only have one CO Power, no Super. Additionally, when using their CO Power, their CO Zone boost will apply for all their units for a while.
- For Brenner, his power affects all units and gives an extra defense boost. His CO Power, Reinforce, in addition to the further slight boost that comes with it, recovers HP of all his troops.
- For Will, his power affects only direct-attack ground units and gives an extra attack boost. His CO Power, Rally Cry, boosts movement for all direct-attack ground units under his command.
- In regards to Lin, her power affects all ground units and gives an extra attack and defense boost, though her CO Zone is comparatively smaller in comparison. Her CO Power, Scout, allows her ground units to see further, and spot enemy troops in hiding places.
- As for Isabella, her power affects all units and give them a minor attack and defense boost. Her CO Power, Deep Strike, not only boosts movement for all her units, but increased attack range for her ranged-attack units.
- In terms of possible changes in war dynamics when Humongous Mecha are involved, there's less debate on how their Powers operate since they don't have day-to-day abilities like those in Wars World do, and their CO Zones have less specific units types they cover. That said, whether the CO has to "piggyback" on the mecha they're joining up with and have to sit close to the pilot if the cockpit is big enough, or if they have to learn to pilot a mecha themselves may depend.
- As those who all endured tragedy and hardships and came out better people for it; the Battallion's COs came to befriend Paragon!Commander Shepard, Shido Itsuka, Link, Hal Jordan, Optimus Prime, and the Sole Survivor (when they're on positive karma). And their enemies became enemies of Brenner's Wolves as well.
- Nukes in particular are also a sore spot, given Brenner met his end by one while buying his troops and the Lazurians time to escape from the New Rubinelle Army.
- The four, Brenner especially, are impressed that the Tactician can score victories no matter the odds without losing even a single soldier. Outside of "cutscenes", that is. The best they could do was minimize casualties, but that's often the norm for any commander pulling off a non-reckless plan. The same courtesy goes for Robin, Corrin, and Byleth.
- Given that they've had to deal with a virus/parasite/bio-weapon that infects its victims, and sprouts flowers all over their bodies when they die, which spread it further, the House of Plants isn't a place they're fond of hanging around, especially given some of its residents, like Poison Ivy. Given what IDS was and what Caulder wanted to do, they also oppose all war profiteers such as Sundowner.
- Are digusted by Kirei Kotomine, who does believe that The Apocalypse Brings Out the Best in People. Problem is, he wants to instigate it and enjoys torturing humanity with misery and suffering to bring out that good potential. They also oppose Doomfist (and therefore Talon), who genuinely believes that conflict will benefit humanity, the Corpus as they want to profit off of conflict for all its worth, and the Eliksni for scavenging the ruins of human civilization whilst having a callous regard for others, especially for mankind.
- Corollary to the last, they've also become allies with the Guardians as while many take a bit of a more lighthearted approach to war, they've been tasked to protect what remained of humanity, and they do so with the utmost efficiency, even defying what can be considered gods or fate itself.
- Loathe "backseat commanders" who deliver orders in battlefields they're not participating in, especially if they're attempting to sabotage them. Greyfield once gave orders for specific Rubinelle units to stop moving for certain days. Lives are not supposed to be played with like that in war.
- While there's no proof that he was the culprit, since they're from different universes and all, Sturm is despised the most out of all the Black Hole COs given that he's able to call down meteors with impunity with his Super CO Power
- Exclusive to Will:
- (oppose plain old bandits, and those who continue war after an apocalypse)
- As far as Will is concerned, creating sapient life, even clones, doesn't give you the right to do whatever you please to them, as he's told off Caulder. Clones Are People, Too.
- Exclusive to Brenner:
- After the last time he was swindled by words, Brenner is taking efforts not to be fooled again by omissions and unsaid implications, not after what the Mayor of Freehaven did, taking advantage of his generosity to deal with some nearby bandits, then turning back on his promise to take in civilians Brenner was escorting.
- (enemies to those who would kill those who've surrendered in battle)
- Exclusive to Lin:
- Given the post-apoc conditions in her world, among other things she's picked up are…cooking rat/mouse stew, and other kinds made with frogs, snakes, bears, roaches, boots…some aren't sure if this is her brand of humor. Despite being an all-tactical lieutenant, Lin also has a minor interest in fashion (and minor skill in it, given she thinks axle grease is good for skin care, unless she's messing with Isabella), as well as "color theory" for appropriate clothing to wear in combat.
- Having had to engage in battle on top of a giant plane once, Lin's not looking forward to flying again anytime soon. People still want to ask her just how did she manage to sneak in so many vehicles on board it without it crashing (that would happen later as a result fo the Great Owl/Pulsatrix's pilot), though it's probably more on how the giant plane is able to fly with so many units on its wings in the first place.
- Exclusive to Isabella:
- It's not truly known how Isabella escaped IDS and made it all the way to the ruins where Will found her, but prior to that, she and her "family" have roamed civilian territory a few times and were feared due to rumors of them being inhuman which was true since they're all clones of the original Dr. Caulder, albeit heavily modified for the "children".
- Having been basically a database for military facts, Isabella can sympathize with what Chuck had to experience being the INTERSECT. Though unlike Isabella, who started as a Blank Slate save for what was downloaded into her, Chuck had a normal life before his forced involvement with the CIA began.

- Earned the emnity of Draco Malfoy when she delivered a Megaton Punch (or slap; depending on whether you read the books or watched the movies) to him when he was being a jerk in her third year.
- Don't bring up the time that she cursed Ron to be attacked by summoned canaries. He was being stupid, she overreacted, and they've made up now.
- Is smart enough to brew the Polyjuice Potion, which can change your appearance to that of another human whom you have the hair of for an hour, and is ridiculously hard to brew, in her second year.

- Opposes: Blood Knights obsessed with dying and Combat Sadomasochists
- The rules of the Pantheon mandate that only one deity can represent a trope. That said, there are always some exceptions, like Japanese Beetle Brothers, where a pair can represent it as actual berthren (Herculious and Kuwagust Anchus), and another can represent it by just so happening to be in the same series (Pinsir and Heracross). Joining these tropes is Height Angst, the variants being one where angst comes from being too short, and the other comes from being too tall.
- While the candidate for the "short" end is still being decided, the Court already chose someone for the "tall" end; Karen Kohiruimaki, also known in Gun Gale Onlnie as LLENN. The reason she was chosen above all other candidates (aside from her story drawing more attention) was because her Height Angst was a driving force for her character growth ("was", since it doesn't bother her as much anymore), like using VRMMOs as a form of escapism, as well as her sheer ecstasy in having a short avatar when the first entered GGO (gaining an avatar that was 150cm/4'11" tall compared to her IRL height of 183cm/6'0"* ).
- How bad was her Height Angst? Well, besides her issues in real life, there's also the fact that prior to GGO, every other VRMMO she's tried (starting with Alfheim Online) ended up with the Amusphere forcibly logging her out due to detecting massive spikes in her heart rate* when she gets shocked by her avatar's (usually) tall height. And she went through this at least 36 times before finally finding GGO.
- There were those who were happy that for once, the next SAO deity to ascend wasn't related to Kirito in any way, be it romantically (Asuna, Suguha, Shino), in a familial manner (Asuna again, Suguha again, Yui), with enmity (Sugou), or otherwise (Yuuki).
- That said, being the main character of the series, Kirito and his friends were present during the ascension ceremony, him and Sinon greeting her in their GGO avatars since that's the game she stuck with. LLENN shortly recognized them (by their weapons) from the in-game news events of the Bullet of Bullets tournament, and was more excited to meet Sinon than Kirito since the former has (some) history with her friends, like providing Team SHINC intel on where to get hold of an anti-tank rifle, and that her teammate Pitohui once tried to buy off Sinon's Hecate without success.
- Of course, like all SAO deities, Karen was given the ability to switch between her IRL and GGO forms at will. While this allows her to spend most of her time as LLENN, thanks to her Character Development, she doesn't mind wandering around as Karen in peaceful areas.
- Karen's surprised how approachable she is even in her IRL form, given Japan's social expectations that a girl "should" be short to be considered beautiful. That's because in any other series/genre/country, she has a wonderful figure with supermodel-material beauty, which coupled with her sweet and kind personality, makes her just as cute as her online avatar. She has no interest in the fashion industry, though, which shows in her choice of clothes.
- LLENN isn't above using her size to her advantage, even once hiding in a suitcase to get the jump on an enemy squadron. Given how many other deities of her size (and smaller) are here, this isn't new for the GUAG's enemies.
- Her pink outfit might look cutesy and ridiculous, but it's ideal in desert biomes (the color's called desert pink for a reason), and pink smoke can also help camouflage her.
- Thanks to what she's learned in the Squad Jams, LLENN is proficient in knowing her location and memorizing a map. Unrelated to those, her IRL skills include being able to determine a flare/firework's launch location (by gauging the sound delay from seeing it and hearing it) and swimming (though she's never done that as LLENN since GGO's setting has toxic water).
- Even if it was only once on-screen, LLENN's lean-back to avoid a bullet has garnered Neo's attention and respect.
- Like everyone else, she has disdain for Sugou and his infamous crimes.
- Her achievements as LLENN has also drawn the attention of other speedy shooters such as Tracer and the Scout. While she and the latter only remain as rivals due to his mercenary work and flirtatious attitude (though never when she's as LLENN since she looks like a kid and he's friendly with them despite who he is), she became much friendlier with the former, who has taken a shine to her abilities.
- Having had to deal with a friend who had such issues, LLENN doesn't like Combat Sadomasochists and Blood Knights, especially those who get a thrill in being so close to death. It may be cheap here, but it's still not without consequences.
- When it comes to her P90 P-chan, she gets into a rampage when it gets destroyed, often right after using it as an emergency shield, and sometimes she can swear it speaks to her (though most chalk it up to self-motivation purposes).
- Given Pitohui used one in Squad Jam 2 to wipe out an enemy team, LLENN is wary of Darth Maul, who also wields a red double-ended Laser Bladenote . This animosity also extends to all Sith (though she's not too sure about Darth Vader).
- Sometimes gets unwanted attention from vampires and other unsavory creatures given in Squad Jam 2, she finished off Pito by biting into her neck.
- Had an interesting encounter with Gertrude when they incidentally had to work together to get rid of an immediate threat to their lives. Like her, she has an 'unpowered' adult form and a 'powered' child form, though Gertrude is well into adulthood while Karen is just entering 20. Karen pities her for going through several years trapped in Fairyland, and arguably had a worse time there than the victims of Sword Art Online; the VRMMO's dangers were simple mechanics made more dangerous by death being made real, whereas Fairyland had a lot of obnoxious folks who've done everything they can to be unhelpful to Gertrude.
- She also has a temple under Introvert Flaws.

- Enemies: The Dazzlings, Slaanesh and his(?) Noise Marines, Eric Raymond, I-No, Elite Tauren Chieftain, Ember McLain, 'evil' angels like YHVH and Metatron
- Opposed by: Eddie Riggs, Naruto (mostly one-sided on his part)
- Lucia Nanami started out as a follower of Ariel before ascending to the Pantheon herself into the House of Music. The two still get together on occasion and gossip about their respective countries and princes.
- With the advent of more and more deities ascending as groups, particularly the Pretty Cures, Lucia thought it was time to try and get all of her heralds ascended as co-goddesses. Unfortunately, an issue regarding "insufficient characterization" prevents this from occurring. Good news, she can ascend at most two. Making the most out of this, Lucia chose the two friends who have been with her for most of her adventure, Hanon Hosho and Rina Toin. With two more Mermaid Princesses properly in the Pantheon, the Lucia is a little more confident in fighting the forces of evil.
- However, since 765 Pro represents the Idol Singer trope better, they were moved to the House of Personal Appearance in the Hair Color sub-house (which itself was moved to the House of Colours) to represent tropes about hair colors. And their new title allowed Lucia to bring in the rest of her heralds to better represent it, much to her relief. And thanks to the House of Life and Vitality, one of their 'fallen' members, Sara, made it to the Pantheon as well, and a heartwarming reunion with her and her successor Seira ensued.
- One thing that sets these eight apart from other Magical Girls is their method of "combat", which is…singing. Their songs can do a variety of effects, like undoing damage done by evil magics, creating force fields, reversing Mind Control, undoing amnesia (if done magically and not by trauma), causing hallucinations, lighting candles, inspiring hope to others, and (most importantly) being a Brown Note to those with evil hearts, inflicting pain upon hearing it. As such, they spend most of their time in the House of Music.
- Since their songs have the opposite effect, they are at direct opposition to the Dazzlings, who sing their songs for opposite purposes. And the same thing applies for the Slaaneshi Noise Marines. As song-based "combat" goes, deafening noise is a definite Kryptonite Factor.
- Lucia managed to assemble "The Godliest Girl Band Ever" with some of her followers (before they were 'moved' over to 765 Pro's temple in light of her new title), and fellow Idol Singer goddess Jerrica "Jem" Benton. She has even considered Sheryl Nome as a potential member after she saw how well she did singing duets with aspiring young singer Ranka Lee.
- With the addition of the rest of the Princesses, Lucia worries what this means for this band, as she worries that the others might think she can easily take over, but her friends were thankfully able to snap her out of such notions.
- She also shares notes with Prince Edward to help him make his songs more passionate. Giselle is thankful for this.
- Giving them carbonated drinks is strongly advised against; somehow, they get drunk when that happens. While only Lucia was witnessed experiencing this, it can be safe to assume the same applies to all mermaids of her kind.
- Like the original Little Mermaid, they run the risk of turning to bubbles if they are to confess to a human that their original mermaid identity and their human 'disguises' are one and the same. But since Death Is Cheap in the Pantheon, word spreads fast, and non-humans are abundant, chances of that happening are basically zero.
- Have a conflict of interest — said interest being "tastes in music" — with Eddie Riggs.
- They also don't like Elite Tauren Chieftain either, as his music induces Involuntary Dancing, which one of their enemies back in the mortal realm, Lanhua, often used. Though it's less hostility and more discomfort.
- While the same applies for Sona Buvelle, it isn't quite as bad, especially since Miku is friends with her. Sona herself wishes they could at least give ETC a chance.
- Naruto avoids their music like the plague, believing it to be absolutely dreadful. His quest ended in failure when he was incarcerated on Ninja Shutter Island, where Mermaid Melody fandubs were used as a Cool and Unusual Punishment. For reasons below, he particularly doesn't like the Green and Purple Mermaid Princesses.
- Haruhi Suzumiya and Axel (the Disgaea one) turn out to be deceptively good singers and guitar players and became fast allies.
- Some of their followers have been petitioning for the Mermaid Princesses to join the Magical Girl Sisterhood. Lucia has considered it, but has made no decision yet. It isn't helped that the fact that plenty of the Goddesses there are capable warriors and she and the other Mermaid Princesses aren't, and it has dealt a blow on her self-esteem. She's aware that in the Pantheon, her "Pearl Voice" persona and songs can only go so far.
- However, Sayaka (a Magical Girl with music motifs and a mermaid Witch) came and assured them that they have no reason to doubt themselves in regards to joining. They may not be "frontline" material, but "support casters" like them can be just as vital to a huge-scale battle in the Pantheonic Wars. One such example would be Flonne: she's a hybrid support/offensive caster (more on support), but is consistently considered one of her game's top tier mages; the just never had a back line until the Pantheon.
- AKB0048's Trainees get along well with the Mermaid Princesses since they share one thing in common (along with Ionasal.kkll.Preciel and the 2nd Division Symphogears); when it comes to music and combat, they go hand-in-hand, though in different ways for each.
- In regards to similar-sounding characters…
- Lucia is out of luck, as her seiyuu (Asumi Nakada) has only had two known roles, the other being in an equally relatively obscure anime about ninjas.
- Hanon's luck was equally as bad, though Lieselotte Achenbach thought she heard a voice similar to one of her followers, Angelica. The Aqua Mermaid Princess has made an effort to avoid her since then.
- Rina was significantly better off. Baiken, Black Widow, and Ulrich Stern of the Lyoko Warriors were among those who thought they heard their own voice through someone else. Nozomi Yumehara/Cure Dream nearly thought she heard the mother of her fellow friend and Cure Rin Natsuki/Cure Rouge. Also, Naruto is more uncomfortable in her presence than any of the others, as she reminds him of one of his old acquaintances, Haku.
- Regarding Caren, she's another that Naruto's more uncomfortable around than any of the others, since he realized his voice becomes just like hers when he performs Oiroke no Jutsu. Django is reminded of his enemy-turned-ally Carmilla when in her presence, and Crash occasionally confuses her for his sister Coco Bandicoot. Dr. Neo Cortex finds it (her voice similarity, not Crash's confusion) a bit infuriating.
- Noel's completely out of luck, as while her seiyuu (Ryoko Nagata) has done numerous characters, none of them are ascended. Well, there is perhaps one in the form of Anna Marie.
- For Coco, the members of the Fairy Tail guild thought they heard one of their other members, Bisca Connell. Kuroko Shirai thought she heard her own voice through her.
- Sara's luck was much better, as her seiyuu (Kana Ueda) is significantly more well-known, getting along with Bianca and Ash Ketchum (who almost heard Skyla), Team Dai-Gurren (who thought they heard one of their members Kinon Bachika (who became Rossiu's wife)), Luna Platz, Rachel Alucard, IF, and Hayate Yagami.
- Speaking of Lucy, Lucia gets along with her well, especially when the summoner called out Leo/Loke, who sounds like her boyfriend Kaito.
- When they eventually heard of the sport Blitzball through Ariel's daughter Melody in casual conversation, it piqued interest in five of them as they decided to take part as well under the name Team Pichi Pichi Pitch. The excluded ones were Seira (too young, more so than Melody), Sara (holds no interest), and Lucia (has humiliating memories involving one beach volleyball game she had been forced to participate alongside her fellow Mermaid Princesses).
- Get along well with the Elite Beat Agents, since they also use their music to aid others in their time of need.

- Allies: Naka, Brock, Riku, Chuggaaconroy, the Bat Family, Gladion
- Partner: Valvatorez
- Conflicting Opinions: Team Rocket, and all other villainous teams in the Pokémon World (lesser extent for Maxie, Archie, and Cyrus)
- Enemy: All Electric-type, Rock-type, and Psychic-type users
- Not to Be Confused With: Kaiketsu Zubat
- When it comes to aggravating Random Encounters that players hate facing (not for their difficulty, but for their annoyance to take down), none are more infamous than the Zubat evolutionary line. Absurdly high encounter rates, ludicrous speed, HP draining attacks, and Confusion-inducing moves make for a huge nuisance. And when Zubat become small fry, their evolutions Golbat pick up the slack with potent poisoning, escape prevention, and forced turn skipping by way of flinching. The only reason their final stage Crobat is not counted is because they're only encountered under trainers since Happiness is required to evolve them to that stage.
- Despite having their own temple/cave in the House of Gaming, they can be found in caves all over the Pantheon, often getting into competition with other cave-dwelling bats and expies of such.
- Through capture, training and The Power of Friendship, Zubat can one day gain great power to aid in the battle against evil. It was stuck in the Villains house before the opening of the Gaming house just because how it annoys many Pokémon trainers in their quest to attain heroism. Doesn't help that Zubat is the most common Pokémon among the grunts of the Pokémon world's villainous teams.
- But before that, Zubat must become an even more annoying bat.
- The smarter ones in their colony avoid those with electric or psychic powers given they have a Type weakness to them.
- Of all gods to make friends with Zubat was Chuggaaconroy, who captured Zubat and evolved it into a Crobat that he calls…Acrobat.
- Brock has also shown that he has captured a Zubat (which also evolved into Crobat) in the past, so at least they have trusted company now.
- Riku has given a hint that whenever his Komory Bat is in the Pokémon world, it takes on the form of a Crobat.
- While not having any particulars, the Zubat and Golbat are occasional aid for the Bat family whenever they call up for bats to harass the enemy. And boy are they good at it.
- While a popular Pokémon used by the villainous teams, they have no real opinions on some of the leaders (or the Rocket trio), as they have none of their own in their parties. Actually, their is disdain for Ghetsis because he's that despicable. There's a bit more respect for Maxie, Archie, and Cyrus given they own Golbats that eventually evolved into Crobats.

- Allies: Ash Ketchum, Pikachu, Misty, Brock, N Harmonia, Ruby Rose, Baine Bloodhoof, Applejack (a farmer who knows her way around cows), Audino (a fellow support Pokémon), Elite Tauren Chieftain, many child deities, especially in the House of Childhood and Adolescence, with the exception of the nasty ones
- Partner: The Farmer
- Enemies: Team Rocket, Ghetsis Harmonia, Lysandre, those cruel to animals, antagonists to farms
- Opposed by: Lactose-intolerant mortals and deities, trainers challenging Whitney's gym, Cofagrigus
- Opposes: Edward Elric
- Miltank's milk is packed with nutrition, making it the ultimate beverage for the sick or weary, a very tasty drink for many, and can heal Pokémon.
- It is said that kids who drink Miltank's milk grow up to become hearty, healthy adults. Ruby Rose fully sponsors this for some reason. She's since become a valuable asset in the House of Food's kitchens.
- A lot of scientists have been wondering how Miltank developed the body parts needed for milk production as she, like all Pokémon, came from eggs.
- The Farmer, who loves the rural life, took a liking to Miltank. Miltank itself was also just as content in living out a simple life and greatly appreciated how the Farmer would often tend to it and try to give as much support and comfort as he can, which caused the two of them to develop a strong friendship with one another. And while they prefer a simple, slow life, this does not mean Miltank is one to turn away from a battle, especially if the Farmer's life and other things the Pokémon values are on the line...
- For those who look down on the Normal-type for its mundanity, Miltank is a reminder that they should underestimate such types at their own peril. This Miltank, having taken on the same moveset and ability as the dreaded one owned by Whitney, can bring the hurt with the increasing-damage attack known as Rollout, the STABnote called Stomp that makes opponents flinch, Attract to leave male Pokémon vulnerable, and Milk Drink to patch herself up. On top of a beefy defense (*ba-dum-tsh*) and surprising speed, she also has the Scrappy ability, which means she can also land hits on ghosts, which her type are normally incapable of even touching.
- Was absolutely insulted when she heard that Edward Elric called her milk "cow's piss", and plans to give him a piece of her mind when he least expects it.
- Elite Tauren Chieftain got along with Miltank as well, not only because of bovine kinship, but also because he really loves the color pink.
- The Mob was once again thrilled to have a representative of a Pokémon they allied with in the Pantheon. The Miltank in question being a fan of the Sailor Moon gods and nicknaming herself after the titular character. Also stated to have a crush on a Venusaur known as Tux.
- No one has dared to breed The Bull of Heaven with Miltank yet. Miltank is already a pain to deal with, so having her have a child with a divine beast would be terrifying.

- Their temple stands atop a mountain in the sub-house of Authority Figures (with a portal to and from the Fighter Archetypes sub-house), and (barring flyers, teleporters, and climbers) standing between them and visitors is Victory Road, a network of cavern tunnels filled with powerful trainers and Pokémon. Rules arranged by the Court of the Gods and special protections ensure that (non-Pokémon) challengers don't end up killing the Victory Road inhabitants or the Elite Four during challenges.
- While they're no longer forced to not intervene during crises anymore, there always has to be an Elite Four at the League building, and the deified ones have to hold those positions for at least half of the week. This means nothing's stopping them from counteratacking should Ghetsis (or any other villain) go after them, though they're aware that there are some beings far stronger than any of their Pokémon, and have joined up with the GUAG to gather more allies.
- The Mob is a frequent challenger of the Elite Four, vowing to finish "teh urn" in the Pantheon. Due to the fact that there are several other challengers and the fact that this Elite Four gets shuffled every few hours, this'll be their ultimate run yet. Seeing how stupid and unpredictable they are, the Elite Four pity the souls they're inhabiting to acheive this goal, remembering two of their previous hosts GMYC and CL Y, though the fact they've been able to best N and Ghetsis on their first tries in contrast to the innumerable attempts the Mob had with the Elite Four.
- Shauntal is a frequent visitor of the Otherness sub-house of Ghosts and is awed in their variety. She got along quickly with Casper, Danny Phantom, Rotom, and Sayo Aisaka as a result.
- Marshal spends his free time sparring (by himself or with his Pokémon) in the House of Combat.
- Don't really get the comparisons between them and Mystery Inc., but find them enjoyable enough company. Shauntal especially likes hearing their solved mysteries.
- Despite being nominally evil, Bisharp respects Grimsley, given that he's had one, and will behave himself around him. With so many villains he's felt obligated to assist, Drapion is somewhat happier around the Elite Four member for a change.
Red, God of Dueling Player Characters (Pokémon Trainer)

- Party Pokémon: As a Player Character, he can conceivably have all Pokémon available in his games up to Generation III (Fire Red and Leaf Green)
- Allies: Most ascended Pokémon, particularly the Kanto and Johto ones (specifically, Venusaur, Charizard, Blastoise, Pikachu, Eevee, Lapras, and Snorlax), Nurse Joy and Officer Jenny, Brock, Misty, Wally, N, Lucas, Ness, Meta Knight, Marth, Ike, almost all Smash Bros.-related deities, Dan Hibiki, Mr. Satan, Gandalf

- Enemies: Team Rocket, Ghetsis Harmonia, Lysandre, Cyrus, Missingno, Wario, Bowser, Tabuu, most evil gang leaders in the House of Crime and Transgressions (like Vito Corleone), Senator Armstrong, Scorpion, Ganondorf, Cruella De Vil, Pokemon Hunter J
- Opposes: The Mob, Wizard and Boomstick
- Opposed by: Mewtwo
- Odd Friendship: Illidan Stormrage
- Red found himself in the Pantheon after disappearing on Kris/Ethan/Lyra after being defeated by him/her at the top of Mt. Silver. He was shortly taken to the Court of the Gods, where he was given his title, for being a player character in his game, and then fighting the sequel's player character.
- Participated in Master Hand's third tournament under the title Pokémon Trainer, starting with a Squirtle, then acquiring Ivysaur and Charizard along the way. Lucas was ecstatic to see him once he heard the news of Red's ascension. Ness also arrived to thank him personally for staying by his side during the Subspace Emissary.
- Was put on trial for supposedly killing Blue's Raticate. The trial has been conducted, and adjourned. The verdict: Innocent.
- Jessie, James, and Meowth tend to avoid Red when they can, especially since in his timeline, he single-handedly defeated the entirety of Team Rocket and even forced their boss Giovanni to disband it after defeating him.
- One of his alternate versions was once the host of the Mob, and while they ultimately succeeded in helping their Red become Champion, there was so much idiocy and heartbreak along the way, and he wouldn't like to fall under the Mob's clutches.
- Mewtwo is cautious when it comes to Red, because the trainer (well, his Pokémon) shows potential in successfully defeating and capturing him.
- Once participated in Video Game Championship Wrestling as tag partner with, of all people, Illidan Stormrage under the banner of Shadow Ball Valley, though it was more like an Enemy Mine situation. Now in the Pantheon, he decided to try and start it anew, though Illidan isn't as receptive to the idea.
- It's also through here that he made companions of Dan and Mr. Satan, as well as adversaries out of Senator Armstrong and Scorpion.
- Some gods have asked Red what he was doing at Mt. Silver in the first place, but he has refused to tell. Some theorized he was searching for Mew.
- There are those who make out Red as an ultimate badass compared to Ash, and comparing them by win records, Pokémon-catching, and their battles against Team Rocket. Neither let these claims bother them, especially as Red heavily respects Ash for becoming the Champion in two regions and now trying to take on the world's best; moreso when Ash defeated Champion Iris, the strongest trainer in Unova, further proving that his counterpart is not to be underestimated.
- After spending who knows how long at the top of Mt. Silver, Blue, whom he hasn't been in good terms with for that time, is now friends with him again and Blue somehow managed to drag him to take a vacation. He is as silent as ever, though.
- During the fifth Smash Bros. tournament, Red ended up reuniting with Leaf who was esctatic to see him again after being absent for so long. In honor of Leaf's return, Red personally had her instated as his new Herald much to her delight. Blue on the other hand began making plans for a trip to another region for the three to go on.

- Enemies: Any and all evil parents and family members, especially his "father" Ghetsis, and Lady Tremaine; also, anyone who outright abuses Pokémon or exploits them for nefarious purposes
- After being beaten by Hilbert/Hilda, Ghetsis revealed his true colors to the world, deifying both of themselves.
- N was raised from the day of his birth by Ghetsis to think all Pokémon trainers were horrible, abusive bastards and raised him with only abused Pokémon to make sure he had no knowledge of any good trainers. He also apparently wasn't even his real father.
- As a result, N was requested to move to a new House and find a new trope. He picked The Only Believer, given that the old Team Plasma's declared goal to liberate Pokémon from humans was just a sham perpetrated by Ghetsis, and N was raised to genuinely believe in that rhetoric. Naturally, part of that trope comes with a poor reaction to the truth, and turning against them after the fact, which is certainly what happened to N.
- Is often seen hanging around the other good deities and his good looks and charming personality have gained him a lot of fans from both genders. Fate and Nanoha seem to especially adore him.
- His farewell from the Unova region (before he came back in the sequel) was so tearjerking even Andrew Stanton cried for him, as did all the other good deities of the Pantheon.
- Apparently gave away Zekrom to Oda Nobunaga for unknown reasons. Nobunaga later returned Zekrom after having captured a shiny Rayquaza for himself, but N later decided to give Zekrom to Nate/Rosa.
- Other gods can't help but think of making jokes whenever they mention L.
- No relations to that N, also known as Near.
- Has been invited by the likes of Jin Kazama to protect against parental abuse. N immediately joined in.
- Is often seen in the House of Beasts from time to time, and had discussions with Ash and Pikachu about the latter two's relationship. He is also hoping to have a one-on-one with Mewtwo. He's still weirded out by Meowth giving up Pokémon Speak for talking like a human.
- Is thoroughly impressed with how devoted and how deep of a connection Hareta has with his Pokémon, to the point he can communicate deeply with them. Hareta in return is happy and proud seeing how much N loves Pokémon as well, and—just like anyone else with a moral compass—grew to despise Ghetsis in return.
- Met up with a strange boy named GYMC once, who helped fight off against his father. Later met up with a girl named CLY who also helped end Ghestis' rage.
- Spyro initially thought N used his legendary dragon to commit evil acts as the leader of Team Plasma, but he later came to admire N for fighting in what he believed in. He apologized to N for judging him harshly, and his ire has since been transferred to Ghetsis, the true ruler of Team Plasma and N’s emotionally abusive father.
- Despite everything he was put through, N still pities Ghetsis and wishes to at least understand how that man became the one who raised him. To that end, he's thinking of requesting to accompany the Phantom Thieves of Hearts so he can achieve that (and change his heart). Additionally, admittedly partly inspired by Hareta's bond and capability to fight alongside his Pokémon, he hopes he could get some fighting experience so that he won't be too much of a burden to his Pokémon friends given the threats in the Pantheon. Having had less-than-appreciative childhoods themselves, Yusuke and Haru in particular sympathize with him.
- He had asked the artist in teaming up for a heist previously, but at the time he asked, the ascended Phantoms comprised of only Yusuke, Morgana, and Futaba. And the cat wasn't willing to go after such a tough target with only them against someone who's more corrupt than even Masayoshi Shido, and would be much more difficult to steal his heart, especially since their leader Ren had yet to ascend. The heist was forced to be put on hold until a later time, but Yusuke promised N that he'll notify him as soon as they have time.
- Once that the entire crew ascended, as soon as he could, N arrived at Ren's temple to request for it again. They hadn't done so for a while since the status quo would revert Ghetsis after the Heist; at least they can still influence him in the present, and it so happens that he was planning something big for the GUAE, so a change of heart can mess that up and make it fail. N volunteered to come with them both to earn fighting experience* .
- During that Heist, upon a run-in with Shadow Harmonia, N had been forced to accept that despite his hopes to the contrary, (at least for the foreseeable future) there was no redeeming his "father". And that's when something surprising happened.
???: Are you prepared to journey down this road?N: (eerily calm) Yes. I'm ready.???: Very well, then. Let the initiation commence.And then it started; a searing pain emanated from N's head as he clutched his head. It felt like it was tearing him apart. Zoroark immediately went to his trainer's side and tried to keep him steady while feeling unable to do anything else. The rest of the Phantoms were on standby in case Shadow Harmonia tried anything.???: A detestable man. He who cares not about man or beast has lost his way. You wish to help him see that his path will only bring him ruin. But deep in your heart, you know that this is impossible. [...] There must be a reason your creator allowed his kind and humanity to coexist. Please, do not allow this to continue. I am thou, thou art I. (N’s “mask” appears on his face) There are yet others you can still save. Turn your attention to them. Protect them from men like your father. - The circumstances are still being reflected on, but at that moment, N's appearance changed into a Crusader themed around Team Plasma, and even came with a sword, buckler, and crossbownote , though to the Thieves' surprise, no Persona manifested. After the battle that ensued, and after leaving the Palace, it was also discovered that N only had this power in the Metaverse.
- When the time came for the Calling Card, the Phantoms weren't prepared enough for the consequences of doing so given that the entire Pantheon knows who they are. And so when the next day came, N found his temple under siege by Team Plasma, with the former members who have sided with him defending the place. Knowing the Heist needed to be concluded now, after guaranteeing his followers' safety, he swiftly rejoined the Phantoms to finish the Heist and stop Ghetsis.
- The operation ended in success, with the crew defeating Shadow Harmonia, N discovering his "father"'s Freudian Excuse for his actions, stealing his Treasure (Ghetsis' staff for controlling Kyruem), and leaving before the Palace collapses. N has kept the Treasure (which took the form of a Master Ball outside the Metaverse, to reflect Ghetsis' desire for absolute control) in his temple as a memento of his adventure. He's also since become an honorary member for any future Heists, and still on occasion has joined them to help train his Metaverse powers and his Pokémon.

- Allies: Most ascended Pokémon, particularly the Kalos ones (like Chesnaught, Greninja, Xerneas, and Yveltal) the Kanto Starters, and Lucario, AZ, Nurse Joy and Officer Jenny, Bianca, Wally, N, Hareta
- Friendly Rivals: Ash Ketchum, Red,
- Rivals: Guzma
- Enemies: Lysandre (their Evil Counterpart), Team Rocket, Giovanni, Ghetsis Harmonia, Cyrus, Missingno, Cruella De Vil, Pokémon Hunter J, most evil gang leaders in the House of Crime and Transgressions (like Vito Corleone), any genocidal deities
- Opposes: The Mob (Calem only)
- Possible aspect of: (Insert Name Here)
- For five generations, despite having each taken down an evil organization (in one's case, stopped one from rising again), its player characters never really have been acknowledged for it. Calem and Serena break this trend by getting a great celebration for saving Kalos from Team Flare and becoming Pokémon Champion.
- While one or the other could be the Player Character with their counterpart being the rival, both this Calem and Serena are from two alternate timelines where each of them were the Player Character, where one stopped Lysandre and saved Xerneas, and the other stopped Lysandre and saved Yveltal. They're not telling which one of them did what.
- Among those to greet them was AZ, whom they have met with on several separate occasions and even battled during their ceremony. As if to greet them, he even challenged them both, despite having lost to them before. But the gesture was enough.
- Unless they're elsewhere, you can find Calem in the House of Heroes and Serena in the House of Celebration, but they can easily choose to swap temples.
- As was expected, Ash briefly confused Serena for the one he has traveled with, but noticed she looked older. He then asked how many years has it been since they met, to which she clarified the confusion; she never met him. Still, she and Calem have come to see Ash (and Red) as friendly rivals.
- As for Hareta, just like every good-aligned Pokémon trainer that ascended before them, they praised him for his love for Pokémon and amazement for being able to communicate with them. Hareta on the other hand is interested in their Mega Rings, the idea of Mega Evolution, and impressed with how they stopped Lysandre and proved his ideals wrong.
- Speaking of, Lysandre was not happy at all to see these two ascend, being the ones who brought about his downfall in two different timelines.
- Consequently, as they're—From a Certain Point of View—predecessors of Red, the two have come to be enemies with Cyrus, Ghetsis, and Team Rocket as well. As for Guzma, they're keeping an eye on him, although he sometimes battles them as rivals.
- Calem was another victim of the Voices where he was simply known as d ,and Red sympathizes with him, having experienced the same trials, but also envies him in that there were no released Pokémon throughout his run.
- Just like with all Pokémon Trainers, Eliza Thornberry expresses discomfort around the two. It's true that they treat their Mons well, but they're still being used for combat.
Magical Girl Cleanup Project
Magical Girl Raising Project is still an ongoing work. Everyone else currently ascended is either inadequate in terms of quality, and/or still have their tales ongoing. Only these two still fit since they're already dead, so there's unlike to be more significant content outside side stories, so it's safe to ascend them.
Still need to read their relevant Episodes, as well as this article. They're not just a few times greater than baseline humans, they're much more than that.
- One thing of note that the Unmarked Anime didn't properly portray is that Magical Girls made by the Land of Magic are far, far stronger, tougher, faster, and more reflexive than one would think. Not just a few times stronger, but much greater than that, which can actually make them much tougher than most conventional Magical Girls. Standard fare abilities include not having a need for sustenance or rest, resistance to fatigue, excellent night vision, 49 times better eyesight, enhanced hearing, can run on telephone wires, feel tilts imperceptible to normal humans, can run up walls as easily as on flat ground, heal broken bones and deep cuts within a day, are immune to conventional poisons and non-magical alcohol, are mentally stronger, can remain calm in situations that would overwhelm their untransformed selves, and have more powerful mental capabilities and accelerated learning. They're stronger than any living thing on Earth (including elephants and hippos, and can withstand blows from them), can rip open a locked gate to a factory, and can climb skyscrapers. They can survive landmines meant for people or tanks, can survive all manner of weather and temperatures no matter how harsh, freezing, or burning (between -57 or -40 °C to 500, 1075, or 1650 °C), can ride on top of an airplane without issue, can survive falls from 30 meters or more, and survive car crashes. They can move faster than the human eye can track, can rip off non-MG clothes by their speed alone, perceive time differently (especially when it comes to mealtime), can outspeed cars, eagles, and leopards, can cross 200 meters in an instant, can be quick enough to kill a human "a hundred, or a thousand, times over" before that human can act, can keep pace with Shinkansen bullet trains, and 5 seconds can be basically an eternity for them.
- Regarding La Pucelle, she can stop a speeding truck by hand, ram a steel tower hard enough to shake it and snap attached power lines (not to mention dislodge people from it, in this case the Peaky Angels) and suffer no injury from it, swing a 13-57 MT-heavy sword that's 20+ meters long to ragdoll a giant monster, and kick up a large trail of dust when running. Her sword is usually 1 meter long and 40 cm wide, but the longest she's expanded it is 20+ meters, and the widest she's expanded it is 2 meters (5 times the normal). Presumably, the thickness of the sword is usually 1/8th the width.
- Regarding the Peaky Angels, who are presumably also identical in terms of physical parameters, they can shatter a wooden table in a single kick, leap out of a full speed SUV and impact the ground with its door after kicking it off, swing a massive glaive (Minael morphed into it) to carve up an entire room, go in a wild chase across a district while carrying a safe that can fit a child inside in one hand and climb over a tall wall with it.
- (After bemoaning about sturdier clothing, La Pucelle gets recommended to meet Edna Mode. The super suit maker evaluates her MG outfit and finds it passable enough, though chest covering would be prudent in case of children. She has tests on the MG run in order to make something that can withstand La Pucelle's running speed. If she can make an outfit for a speedster, she can accomplish this.)

Dressed for Divinity
With Rarity's promotion to House guardian in the House of Costumes, and the ascension of Millie Collins, the former thought it necessary to establish an official organization in the name of fashion. It was decreed in a joint effort by the Houses of Costumes, Commerce, and Profession to create a pantheonic fashion industry (named Dressed for Divinity), where fashion deities can come together to recreate trends of old, or start completely new ones, and show them for the world to see.
Dressed for Divinity, situated in the middle of the House of Costumes (though plans for branching out all over the Pantheon are already in progress), is where all the dressmaking, photoshoots, catwalks, and all things fashion happen. Because the Pantheon has such a...diverse culture, there's always at least one demographic that will be enamored by whatever theme is "in" for the week. Gods from the House of Craft help provide materials for the clothes that will inevitably be weaved and sewn, such as threads, buttons, glitter, leather, everything in between, and sometimes beyond.
Of course, they aren't going to be all extravagant all the time; they still have to remember the middle class or lower who can't afford or can't bother with the very stylish. Sometimes, just being pretty or sharp-dressed is all a deity needs to be to look appealing.
And remember, this industry is about fashion, so unless a commission is specifically requested, they don't normally do (hard) armor, though magical protections (or nanotechnology) is still possible to implement into the clothes provided. That said, there will always be those pricks who would take their fights to the industry, though thankfully there is security and a few of the deities here aren't above ass-whooping.
The fashion gods are divided by aspects of the career: the designers, the models, and the rest (fashion magazine staff, advertisers, set managers, and so on).
Fashion Administration
When it comes to things fashion, these goddesses know it better than most. While it's true that Edna Mode is bored with the industry, she's still a top figure in the industry in her world, so she has a spot here.
- Rarity, Goddess of Quirky Fashion Designers
- Millie Collins, Goddess of Fashion Models
- Edna Mode, the Always Theatrical Goddess
- Barbie, Goddess of Pink
The Designers
The goddesses (and the occasional god) who design the clothes, whether it's as a career, aspires in that direction, or even just as a hobby. Some designers may even double as model sometimes. Edna Mode isn't in this sub-group as she prefers to work on superhero costumes.
- Rarity
- Erika Kurumi
- Tomoyo Daidouji
- Hayate Yagami
- Marinette Dupain-Cheng
- Clover Ewing
- Equestria Girls!Rarity
The goddesses (and the occasional god) who wear the designed clothes, whether simple or fancy, to make the clothes look good.
Temporary Models
On occasion, during fashion shows or even just for mannequin purposes, some deities not normally part of the industry might be called in an emergency.

Disgraces
Of course, there are those who have what it takes, but aren't let in due to other reasons, such as overall agendas, inability to keep things professional, exploiting the industry for their personal harmful plots, or attempting to swing things in their favor in the Pantheonic Wars.
- Junko Enoshima (designer and model)
- Misa Amane (model)
