Since Xykon is undead, enemies with Usalia. Anti Bully Aura is a paladin like ability too (she's REALLY hard to kill on top of hits MUCH harder when that evility gets fully exploited). Her "Death Resistance" secondary evility also grants party wide immunity to instant kills. There's also her high magic defense stat and staves being one her better resistances.

TLDR: She's a potential worst matchup scenario for him.

Reposting Skips again. Are there any deities that would help him fight monsters? Also, is there someone known for making lame jokes?

Skips, The God Who's Seen It All (Walks)

  • Theme Song: I Get Around
  • Lesser God (with the Fists of Justice, he can fight even Overdeities)
  • Alignment: Neutral Good
  • Symbol: The Fists of Justice
  • Portfolio: Genius Bruisers, rarely emotive, but nice people, always seeming to be right, maintenance, yetis, immortality, knowing how to fix problems, skipping because it reminds him of someone he lost
  • Domains: Age, Knowledge, Supernatural
  • Allies: Mordecai and Rigby, Benson, Samurai Jack, Garnet, Fix-it Felix Jr., Luke Skywalker, Ryu, Zero, Spike Spiegel, Touma Kamijou
  • Neutral with: SpongeBob SquarePants and Patrick Star.
  • Enemies: Randall Ross, any evil supernatural being in the Pantheon, Polybius, the Godmodder, The Joker.
  • Friendly Enemies with: Every malicious death entity.
  • Ascended when he heard that Mordecai and Rigby were in the Pantheon, and wanted to make sure that they didn't do anything wrong.
  • Even though he's said to be able to fix anything, he's absolutely horrible with technology, and stays far away from the houses of Gaming and Technology. The sole exception to this is when he fights Polybius, who he believes to be the reincarnation of the Destroyer of Worlds.
  • Has formed a friendship with Luke Skywalker due to the fact that they sound the same.
  • With his ascension, Skips has asked to put the Fists of Justice in the Maximum Security vault. Even though he's the only one with access to it, he's decided to let Mordecai and Rigby handle it more often as of late (much to their chagrin), seeing how they're better at the job.
    • Because of his possession of the Fists of Justice, he's made good allies in Garnet and Touma, the former admiring his gauntlets and the latter respecting his ability to fight stronger beings with his fists.
  • Many deities in the Pantheon know of the story of why he skips: it's a sign of remembrance of a woman he once loved. What most don't know is that he indirectly caused her death over a petty bet. Because of this, he sympathizes with Zero, who also killed someone he loved.
  • Has become friends with Spike Spiegel, who reminds him of his friend Techmo.
  • Seeing how the Pantheon is filled to the brim with evil monsters, Skips decided to recruit others to create a task force designed to keep them in check. So far, he has managed to recruit [pending], just to name a few.

Next draft.

Dr. Douglas Evil, God of Bond Villain Stupidity (Douglas Powers, Dougie)

  • Theme song: Dr. Evil's theme song
  • Quasideity
  • Symbol: A pinky finger in a mouth.
  • Alignment: Lawful Evil
  • Portfolio: Contractual Genre Blindness, Death Traps, Doting Parents, Bond Villain Stupidity, The Evil Laugh, Right Hand Cats, Fishes Out of Temporal Water, Not Those Kinds of Doctors, Sharks With Frickin' Laser Beams, Revealing as the Long-Lost Brother of Austin Powers.
  • Domains: Evil, Law, Entropy, Hatred, Planning
  • Followers: Various Bond villains throughout his career
  • Former Herald: Scott Evil, his son
  • High Priest: Ernst Stavro Blofeld
  • Allies: Jack Spider, Dr. Drakken, Darth Vader
  • Enemies: Bruce, James Bond
  • Opposed by: Barbatos Goetia
  • Annoys: Shrek
  • Special Relationship: Austin Powers, Zuko
  • Ascended long ago when many enjoyed his sheer commitment to putting his victim in complicated traps, even though they can easily escape from them. He gained enough support to become the God of Card Carrying Villainry.
    • There was an upheaval within his Pantheon as of late. Seeking to further increase his influence in the Pantheon, Xyklon stormed Dr. Evil's temple, taking the title from him. He took the case to the Court of the Gods, who were not as sympathetic of his plea. They point to the fact that there were far more successful villains of that type that could have taken that title, not to mention his father's reveal of his blood relations with Austin Powers causing his Heel–Face Turn in the end of his last appearance. In revenge, he hoped to win back support, holding the House of Commerce hostage by aiming a laser. His ransom? One million dollars! The amount of laughter generated from the group that day could be heard from the entire Pantheon. After Austin stopped him once more, it was decided he would receive a different title in honor of his constant traps on heroes.
  • He used to have a reluctant herald that was his son. Scott Evil later broke ties with his father, disgusted with the way he handles his plots. Scott hopes to ascend himself to oppose his father, depending on the nature of Austin's next adventure.
  • He is seen as in inspiration from other villains who are not as effective as others. Jack Spider and Dr. Drakken were both relieved that he managed to avoid losing his powers.
  • Some deities theorize that it was the intervention of Darth Vader and the Empire that turned the tides in Dr. Evil's favor. The two were hit with similar connections with the heroes they fought, with Vader knowing far sooner. The two have been seen together more often than usual.
  • It's safe to say that a few villains were not pleased he managed to stay in the House. A critic even before his ascension, Barbatos Goetia does not approve the way he gives his victims a second chance.
  • Shrek didn't care about the situation; all he wants is for Dr. Evil to get out of his hair. He doesn't care if the two share the same voice.
  • Gained the ire of the God of Sharks, as Dr. Evil put dangerous laser beams in some sharks, neglecting the possibility that the sharks could harm themselves in the process.
  • Is absolutely hated by secret agent James Bond, and not just because of being the god sponsoring many of the villains he faced. The reveal in his latest movie revealing [[spoilers: that High Priest Blofeld was also related to him in a similar way]] was met with great ridicule amongst his enemies. Bond had hoped that Dr. Evil's latest blunder would kick him out of the Pantheon, to no avail. If the Court of the Gods won't take him out, Bond is more than willing to do that himself.
  • While Zuko helped instigate the actions of the latest movie, he was disappointed that Dr. Evil decided not to change his was in the Pantheon. Still, he hopes to reform the petty villain.

#1282: Feb 1st 2016 at 4:51:46 PM

Reworking the Men in Black to focus mostly on K and J (though the organization is referenced). It'll take some time, though.

Mr. K and Mr. J, Representatives of the Men In Black (K: Kevin Brown; J: James Darrel Edwards III)

  • Theme Song: "Men In Black"
  • Lesser Gods
  • Symbol: A pocket neuralizer
  • Alignment: Lawful Neutral
  • Portfolio: Saving The World (Over and Over Again), Laser-Guided Amnesia, Maintaining the Masquerade, People You Can Count On In A Pinch, Those With One Letter Names, Secret Government Organizations
  • Domains: Illusion, Inquisition, Knowledge, Protection
  • Heralds: the rest of the organization by extension
  • Allies: The SCP Foundation, Captain Kirk, Rosalina, Mamizou Futatsuiwa, Michael Jackson, XCOM
  • Enemies: Giygas, Lavos, Frieza, Boros, Black Doom, Lord Brevon, Dr. Wallace Breen, Thanos, Ragyo Kiryuin
  • Opposed by: Danny Fenton
  • The Men in Black is an organization that is dedicated to eliminating malicious aliens (and wiping the memories of those who witnessed such aliens after the aliens have been fought). Two of the most prominent members of the organization are Agents K and J. Although other members of the organization are involved, these two tend to be the ones that are the most recognizable.
  • While protecting the planet, they have frequently worked together with Captain Kirk and Rosalina, two of the guardians of the House of Time and Space, keeping an eye out for any invaders.
    • Even Michael Jackson is apparently a member of the group under the name Agent M. No one aside from the organization (and the King of Pop himself) knows about it (and those outside the organization that knew about it will have already forgotten about it).
  • With aliens of such world-ending capacity like Giygas and Lavos in the Pantheon, the Men in Black have quickly deemed them as two of their biggest threats. Of course, those two are not the only aliens that's being targeted.
    • Frieza is also on their blacklist. A slew of other dangerous aliens such as Boros, Black Doom, and Lord Brevon have made the agents more prepared to counter any damage the aliens cause.
      • They are also very wary of the G-Man, a very different kind of Man in Black...
      • A close eye is also being kept on both Ragyo Kiryuin and Wallace Breen, who have been largely allying themselves with various aliens to cause trouble for humans (even if Breen's reasons to ally with the aliens were meant to be well-intentioned).
  • For some unexplainable reason, they (or more accurately, the organization in general) are convinced that Lady Gaga is an alien. No one has even tried to comment on why they think that is the case and Lady Gaga herself has no idea what to make of it.
  • They have a pretty strong partnership with the XCOM soldiers when it comes to dealing with the aliens. Of course, both organizations are kept separate from each other and no major plans of a merger between the two is going to happen anytime soon, but they keep touch quite often.
  • Danny Fenton is not a fan of the organization, given his experience in dealing with a similar group known as the Guys in White.
  • Would you please highlight the above and look at the fourth line? *flash* Troper, there is no entry here. The text you saw was a hallucination caused by swamp gas from a weather balloon trapped in a thermal pocket reflecting the light from Venus onto your computer screen.

Given the aftermath of Legacy of the Void, I think Kerrigan's due for a rework. And an extra entry for Raynor too that retcons his ascension process: instead of as a recommendation by Zeratul, he makes it to the Pantheon with Kerrigan's help after she became a Xel'Naga.

It's a small one for now.

Sarah Kerrigan, Goddess of Hive Queens (The Queen of Blades, The Queen Bitch of the Universe)

  • Greater Goddess borderline Overdeity as a Xel'-naga
  • Symbol: The Zerg Swarm Emblem
  • Leitmotif: Ascension
  • Alignment: Chaotic Neutral, can slide to Chaotic Good or Chaotic Evil depending on the day she's having. Nowadays, she's more inclined to Good than evil.
  • Portfolio: Hive Minds, Alien Parasites, Strength In Numbers, One Women Armies, Attractive Monsters, Ruling Over Planets, Purple Is Powerful, Villains With Heroic Tendencies, Psychic Powers Too Great To Measure, Became A Xel'Naga To Atone For Her Sins
  • Domain: Aliens, Hive Minds, Psychics, Power
  • Allies: Zeratul, The Tyranids, [[Pantheon/Leadership Lesser Gods Jim Raynor]], Mars, Tassadar
  • Teeth-Clenched Teamwork: Artanis (one-sided on his part)
  • Enemies: Arcturus Mengsk, The Borg Queen, The Flood, The Combine
  • Kerrigan ascended in control of one of the largest military forces in existence, the Zerg Swarm, who number in the billions and are still growing, and is herself a very powerful and skilled psychic warrior. However, Kerrigan has yet to pledge herself and her forces to either side, mostly because after gaining her independence, she's not keen on submitting to an authority figure again.
  • Is very volatile and should be approached with great caution. While Kerrigan has mostly reformed for a force of good, she will not hesitate to murder anyone who sleights her with her own hands regardless of alignment, and that's if they're lucky. Otherwise
  • Is a shaky ally of Zeratul, God of the Void. While they have a history of being enemies, her reformation and Zeratul's advice to her in fulfilling an ancient prophecy that granted her greater powers than ever have soothed the waters between them, and Zeratul is currently in the interest of protecting her until that prophecy is done.
  • Her alliance with the Tyranids is sturdier, since she completely understands their position. After all, when you've got billions of mouths to feed, sooner or later you're gonna have to invade a planet or two.
  • Despite the Swarm's similarities to the Borg, Kerrigan is an enemy of the Borg Queen, the brainwashing and lack of individuality personally offending her. This is also the cause for her hatred of The Flood, who are arguably even worse.
  • She's… not very fond of Nova, only seeing her as a minor inconvenience and a 'second rate Ghost' when compared to her, but not enough to earn her eternal hatred. However, she still didn't take her being with Mengsk and shooting Raynor in the head well.
  • She's NOT happy that Mengsk has found himself within the Pantheon. However, part of her seems to be… 'looking forward' to it. As in, when the time comes, she could call in Raynor and then kill Mengsk over and over again… She'll never get tired of it.
  • With her turning into a Xel'Naga, Kerrigan has become a lot more dangerous than ever before. However, to avoid having more enemies than she already has or making them that more determined to capture her, she sticks to her Primal Zerg form for now.

[up] I'd say she's full blown Chaotic Good by the end of the game. Her acts in Brood War according to Word of God were due to Amon's influence. IIRC she had fully patched things up with Artanis by the epilogue.

New allies: (due to redemption) Gabriel Belmont, Riku, Zuko, Anakin Skywalker, Killia. (due to what she did for the universe) Madoka Kaname. (as a new guardian of life) Alexstraza. (based on atonement being part of their philosophy) Oyashiro, Valvatorez, Sol Badguy.

I'm thinking of a new guag group composed of former villains, dark magical girls, people who's philosophy is about atonement, and those who abandoned the darkness in their heritage. It's name: "Way to the Dawn", named after it's founder's philosophy. Kerrigan would make a great founding member of this new group.

The sandbox is up. This is a prototype. All are welcome to fill in blanks and add people based on the unit description. If they don't fit under Defectors of Decedance, Anchors of Atonement, or The Dark Sisters, then they go in Champions of Redemption.

-Edit: Remind me to place Sunset Shimmer, Princess Luna, and Discord under Champions of Redemption. Depending on Legion, Illidan might end up here too.

The Defectors is in many ways the GUAG's middle finger to intolerant Light Is Not Good types such as Mithos and YVHV. Adell doesn't count as this unit because he doesn't know he's a demon and probably never finds out.

Thoughts and opinions? I tried to cut out any unnecessary material.

Yes, I've already been told that I should wait until the current story arc is over:

Yhwach, God of Giving Power at a Price

  • Greater God, Potential Overdeity post-Soul King absorption
  • Symbol: Five-pointed Quincy Cross.
  • Allignment: Chaotic Evil (thinks he is Lawful something)
  • Portfolio: Adaptive Ability, Authority Equals Asskicking, Badasses, Bad Bosses, Combat Pragmatists, Curb-Stomp Battle, Emperors, Knight of Cerebus, The Thirty Six Stratagems, Your Soul Is Mine!, Victorious Villains, Combat Clairvoyance
  • Domain: Conquerors, Giving and Stealing Power,
  • Followers: Gerard Valkyrie, Lille Barro, Pernida Parnkgjas, Askin Nakk le Vaar, Haschwalth Jugram
  • Former Followers: The Stern Ritter
  • Allies: Grahf, Father
  • Rivals: En Sabah Nur
  • Enemies: Genryuusai Shigekuni Yamamoto, Kurosaki Ichigo, Zaraki Kenpachi, all Shinigami, Arrancar and Hollow, Pit, Asura, Parasoul, Alucard, All Might
  • Yhwach is a unique Quincy, born with the ability "to share power with others". When he does so, "miracles" occur such as lung disease being healed and lost limbs re-grown, as the power he shares one soul to accomplish what normally cannot be done with two souls.
    • However, his ability has a price: eventually the cultivated power will return to Yhwach, a process that usually results in the death of the person he gave power to. When he was a crippled infant, this process caused people to die within a couple years, a couple months, or even a few days in some cases. If he stops absorbing power, he'll return to his crippled state.
    • He can either impart power by touch, or by engraving a "Letter" signifying an ability onto another person's soul via them taking in his blood.
  • Yhwach is the Emperor of the Vandenreich and the "Father of the Quincy", who is determined to bring about the destruction of the Gotei 13 and the Shinigami. He attempted to replicate this success in the Pantheon by invading the House of Nature and killing Yamamoto after he killed his physical body, unaware this act was against the Pantheon's rule.
    • As a consequence of his actions after a debate in the Main House, Bittercold overthrew Yhwach for the title of Outside-Context Villain, drawing upon the vast amount of negative emotions in the Pantheon that exist in order to do so. Moreover, he was forced to watch as Yamamoto was "willed" back to existence by the Pantheon Akashic Records, and the Main House issued a warning to him against breaking the rules of the Pantheon again. Yhwach relented, realizing he could not incur the wrath of the Main House without being cast out completely, and decided to leave his feud with the Shinigami in his own realm.
  • Many in the Pantheon were shocked when Ishida Uryu was seen by Yhwach's side, leading many to question why one of Ichigo's Nakama sided with one of his enemies. None were more shocked about this than Ichigo himself. Others consider Uryu to be a clue to defeating Yhwach, as he was the only Quincy to survive Yhwach's Auswahlen of the Gemischt Quincy.
  • No other God in the Pantheon bears a greater grudge against him than Ichigo Kurosaki. From the decimation of the Soul Society, to the death of his mother, to manipulating Ichigo into killing the Soul King, Yhwach has given Ichigo nothing but reason for the young man to stand against him, and Yhwach has not done anything to dissuade Ichigo from this, even boasting about how everything Ichigo has done was to his eventual benefit. Despite this hostility, Yhwach sees Ichigo as his "son", even preferring to capture Ichigo initially rather than kill him, strongly emphasizing their connection via Yhwach's blood. Ichigo does not care, but Yhwach feels it is not up for question, since Ichigo cannot even say he'll "kill" him.
  • Rumours circulate that Yhwach is at his most vulnerable when he sleeps at night, as that is the time of day where he consolidates his power.
    • This has led to many attempts to break into the Wahrwelt, his newly formed castle, and assassinate him in his sleep, although the Schutzstaffel have been able to avert any attempts.
  • While it is not a publicly-known fact, Yhwach is the son of the Soul King, which means his killing the Soul King does not earn him any favours from all but the most wicked members of the House of Family.
  • He is said to keep a special horse in a private stable, one which is mighty enough to withstand his reiatsu when it would bring others to their knees.
  • He used to be a frequent visitor to the House of Personal Appearance, mostly to have his mutton chops trimmed, since his facial hair has been noted to grow more voluminous within the space of even a day.
  • Aizen has rubbed it in Yhwach's face that he lost his original title and was humiliated by the Main House, but Yhwach still contents himself with the fact that he succeeded where Aizen failed.
  • His view on war has been seen as paradoxical. He claims to dislike conflict and preaches about peace, but war is one of his primary means of sustaining his life and growing in power.
  • Yhwach maintained his ties with Sinestro and Hades despite Bittercold's success, but he has yet to hear the end of it from the God of the Underworld: note 
    • Sinestro, on the other hand, has said nothing. Rather, he has observed that Yhwach seems more open in seeking alliances with other Gods of the Pantheon, something he rarely did before.
  • In battle, Yhwach is pragmatic, either taking advantage of opportunity when it presents itself, or using "The Almighty" to observe the future flow of battle and turn it against his enemies or to nullify their abilities. When it is night and he sleeps, he leaves battle to his subordinates. When he intends to move against his enemies, he takes the lead himself.
  • He is uncertain how his power would affect Alucard, and in the same manner Alucard is wary of Yhwach. Either Alucard drinks Yhwach's blood but fails to kill him, potentially allowing Yhwach a direct line to absorb all the souls from Alucard (and Alucard himself), or Alucard actually kills Yhwach and absorbs his soul completely. Neither wants to see how it would play out, and Father explicitly warned Yhwach against trying it, having made the mistake himself before.
  • Yhwach has often clashed with En Sabah Nur over matters of conquest, despite the two being the self-proclaimed progenitors of their respective races and fellow conquerors. Apparently, the feud began when Yhwach disagreed with En Sabah Nur's philosophy of war, despite his own ruthless when in battle, preferring battles that are ended swiftly, whereas En Sabah Nur glorifies as a means to root out the "weak" and determine who are "strong".

Here's more work on Xykon. And magnum can you clarify what you meant for me please?

Xykon, God of Proud Villainy

  • Greater God
  • Symbol: A skull wearing a crown
  • Alignment: Chaotic Evil
  • Portfolio: Skeletons and style, Animate Dead, Brilliant, but Lazy, Jerkass, Book Dumb, Combat Pragmatist, Contemplative Boss, Contractual Genre Blindness, Dracolich, Enfant Terrible, Evil Is Petty, Faux Affably Evil, Killing innocents out of boredom,
  • Domains: Chaos, Evil, Vile, Destruction
  • Allies: The Monster In The Darkness, Tsukiko, Redcloak, Harley Quinn, The Joker, The Riddler, Leoric, Terrorblade
  • Enemies (Not that he cares too much): Roy Greenhilt, Haley Starshine, Elan, Varsuuvius, Belkar Bitterleaf, Uther The Lightbringer, Yrel, Cecil Harvey, Miko Miyazaki, Leeroy Jenkins, Sans, Papyrus, The GUAD
  • Given Xykon's extremely short attention span, people are taking bets on how long it'll take before he'll either step down or try to destroy the pantheon. Either way, he plans to look completely awesome doing it.
  • Xykon has met The Joker, with a hilarious rampage ensuing. Xykon in particular admire him the most when he isn't trying to justify his actions.
  • Even though the Order of the Stick are his enemies, he can't be bothered to remember them or their names. Most gods can't tell whether he does this by accident or on purpose.
  • Some gods wonder if he knows that Redcloak's goals weren't completely broken and is still trying to use him.
  • Doesn't care much for ally Tsukiko or the fact that Redcloak openly confessed to killing her. He's fine if they bicker so long as they kill his enemies and don't screw things up for him.
  • Very open about his disdain paladins. The reason he hasn't directly engaged the new paladin enemies he's made in the pantheon is that he's bored rather than worried. He instead contemplates the issue by bragging about the paladins he's already killed.
    • The only paladin in the pantheon he hasn't talked about viscously killing is Leeroy Jenkins only because that latter amuses him and Xykon believes he'll probably take of himself and anyone dumb enough to be near him.
  • Is opposed to the Grand United Alliance of Destruction because the best case scenario for him if they realised their plans would be fighting undead for the rest of time. An idea that incredibly bores Xykon. He'll only go an omnicidal rampage if he's really, really bored.
  • Xykon is very picky about how his name is spelled. Don't write it as something like "Zykon" or even speak his name thinking it's spelled like that.
    • This doesn't stop him from trying to kill those who give him names that are too hard to pronounce or a mouthful.

[up] In short, Usalia has a passive special ability called Anti Bully Aura that reduces damage from all sources depending on how many allies are near her, and this reduction applies to the people feeding said ability. She also gets a bonus to attack power based on it too.

Her "Death Resistance" secondary special ability renders all instant kills (used by friend and foe alike) useless, meaning that "death ball" stunt Xykon tried doesn't work on her or her allies.

On top if that, Usalia's best weapon resistances are against staves and monster weapons, which combined with her infamous tankiness (on top of being hard to hit via a "spider sense" like ability) makes her the bane of casters. As insult to injury, she's only (biologically) 8 years old and pulling this stuff.

#1296: Feb 3rd 2016 at 9:57:10 PM

[up]I think I have a better understanding of her now. Thank you, I'll add some text about her later though is the death ball stunt you're referring to the incident involving the paladins guarding the gate? Because that wasn't an instant kill, it drove them insane and they started killing each other.

I'm not saying I'm going leaving out her instant kill resistance but I saw what might be an error an I couldn't let it stand uncorrected, even if it was a small thing and I might be wrong.

[up] Usalia is kinda...infamous.... for having a Game-Breaker tank build that makes her nearly unkillable. Even desco got usurped as the most op monster character in the series. On a side note: an overlord is akin to the D&D counterpart of a demon prince.

At its baseline level, there is a minumum 110% damage reduction against everything (no character in the series has ever gotten this much reduction with the highest previous being about 50%) before Revenge Mode weapon and elemental resistances comes into play. Calculations based on all combinations of weapon and element change net damage reduction to 145%-230% damage reduction (170%-255% damage reduction in Revenge Mode) She already has high defense (physical and magic) and speed. In Xykon's case, since he's a staff user (30 DR), he'd have to deal with a 165%-190% DR depending on element of the attack used.

All this reduction on top of ways to give her a 75% minimum evasion rate (regardless of what direction the attack came from).

There's also a common evility granting an "aura of immunity to status ailments" involved in this build too.

Xykon doesn't have a staff. At most, he uses artifacts.

Made additions. Once Kerrigan's cleared for rework, I'll make that small edit on Raynor's profile.

Sarah Kerrigan, Goddess of Hive Queens (The Queen of Blades, The Queen Bitch of the Universe)

  • Greater Goddess borderline Overdeity as a Xel'naga
  • Symbol: The Zerg Swarm Emblem
  • Leitmotif: Ascension
  • Alignment: Chaotic Neutral, can slide to Chaotic Good or Chaotic Evil depending on the day she's having. Nowadays, she's solidly on Chaotic Good.
  • Portfolio: Hive Minds, Alien Parasites, Strength In Numbers, One Women Armies, Attractive Monsters, Ruling Over Planets, Purple Is Powerful, Villains With Heroic Tendencies, Psychic Powers Too Great To Measure, Became A Xel'Naga To Atone For Her Sins
  • Domain: Aliens, Hive Minds, Psychics, Power
  • Allies: Zeratul, The Tyranids, [[Pantheon/Leadership Lesser Gods Jim Raynor]], Mars, Tassadar, Artanis, Gabriel Belmont, Riku, Zuko, Anakin Skywalker, Killia, [[Pantheon/{{Magic Madoka Kaname]], Alexstraza, Oyashiro, Valvatorez, Sol Badguy
  • Enemies: Arcturus Mengsk, The Borg Queen, The Flood, The Combine
  • Kerrigan ascended in control of one of the largest military forces in existence, the Zerg Swarm, who number in the billions and are still growing, and is herself a very powerful and skilled psychic warrior. However, Kerrigan has yet to pledge herself and her forces to either side, mostly because after gaining her independence, she's not keen on submitting to an authority figure again.
  • Is very volatile and should be approached with great caution. While Kerrigan has mostly reformed for a force of good, she will not hesitate to murder anyone who sleights her with her own hands regardless of alignment, and that's if they're lucky. Otherwise
  • Is a shaky ally of Zeratul, God of the Void. While they have a history of being enemies, her reformation and Zeratul's advice to her in fulfilling an ancient prophecy that granted her greater powers than ever have soothed the waters between them, and Zeratul is currently in the interest of protecting her until that prophecy is done.
  • Her alliance with the Tyranids is sturdier, since she completely understands their position. After all, when you've got billions of mouths to feed, sooner or later you're gonna have to invade a planet or two.
  • Despite the Swarm's similarities to the Borg, Kerrigan is an enemy of the Borg Queen, the brainwashing and lack of individuality personally offending her. This is also the cause for her hatred of The Flood, who are arguably even worse.
  • She's… not very fond of Nova, only seeing her as a minor inconvenience and a 'second rate Ghost' when compared to her, but not enough to earn her eternal hatred. However, she still didn't take her being with Mengsk and shooting Raynor in the head well.
  • She's NOT happy that Mengsk has found himself within the Pantheon. However, part of her seems to be… 'looking forward' to it. As in, when the time comes, she could call in Raynor and then kill Mengsk over and over again… She'll never get tired of it.
  • With her turning into a Xel'Naga, Kerrigan has become a lot more dangerous than ever before. However, to avoid having more enemies than she already has or making them that much more determined to capture her, she sticks to her Primal Zerg form for now.
  • In light of her new form, she has managed to make a lot more allies.
    • As others who redeemed themselves from evil, she has connected with the likes of, Gabriel Belmont, Riku, Zuko, and Anakin Skywalker.
    • Due to what Kerrigan did for her universe, Killia found a friend in her, too.
    • As yet another 'guardian of life', Madoka made herself a fast friend of the Queen of Blades.
    • As atonement is also part of their philosophy, Alexstraza also became friends with Kerrigan.
    • Finally, with her new outlook in life, Kerrigan has decided it was time to join the Grand United Alliance of Good, and plans on forming a group composed of former villains, dark magical girls, people whose philosophy is about atonement, and those who abandoned the darkness in their heritage. Its name would be (as suggested by Riku) Way To The Dawn.
