** Finally, she was able to ascend into her own house; the house of Pantheon/SoldierArchetypes fittingly enough. She was more than happy to announce her ascension to her husband by lifting him up to kiss him before threatening to smite any of his enemies, which he just laughed her and assure her he was okay for now.

* Opposes: [[Pantheon/{{Categorism}} Lucifer (Supernatural)]], [[Pantheon/DivineRoles The Divine Powers]]

* On Speaking Terms with: [[Pantheon/{{Demons}} Satan (SMT)]]

* If one gives Rodin a Platinum Ticket — the price of which is the equivalent to restoring a fallen angel's powers — he will offer to battle with whoever gave it to him, using it to become either an angel once more or boosting his demonic powers with the halos before sending him and his challenger to a PocketDimension. Anyone doing this should be prepared because [[CurbStompBattle Rodin will kick the poor soul's ass to the ground several times]]. The only people who have beaten him in these states as of now are Bayonetta/Jeanne (but barely), Naoki Kashima, Asura, and Son Goku ([[ChallengeSeeker who was basically itching for a good fight]]). He offers to fight the victor again for free if they ask [[NintendoHard but who would ever want to try to do that once more]]? Okay, maybe Goku but still.

* His relationship with other angels is conflicting, to say the least. While killing angels are the primary way to produce halos, he has maintained a neutral relationship with SMT Satan despite the YHVH fiasco. They recognize him as a powerful being in his own right and don't want to stir up anything with him despite the fact that he basically said "fuck you" to their lord. Archangel Michael and Gabriel, on the other hand, have become good friends with him, drinking at his bar on most nights. Imperius hates Rodin's guts however and has tried fighting against the man but [[RunningGag gets his ass kicked every time]].

* The Divine Powers offered an attractive amount of halos for an entire arsenal's worth of demon weapons but Rodin refused. He has heard of what the Divine Powers have done and intend to do again; [[EveryoneHasStandards even he's disgusted by their actions]].

* Has decided to explore the other side of his abilities in the form of creation, leading him to WalkingTheEarth. Problem is, he's really bad at it. [[CreativeSterility Part of his nature makes him bad at creativity]]. He still tries, of course. He and Nero became friends as they're both GiftedlyBad. It's rather ironic that despite being bad at crafts, he's by far the strongest god in the House of Crafts. As he has a role with creation along with destruction, [[Pantheon/{{Undead}} Nekron]] has placed him as one of the possible suspects for where [[Pantheon/LifeAndCreation the Life Entity]]. He finds it more likely that his sister Death is the source, but is in enough trouble as it is with her and has less to worry about if he bothers Destruction.

* If you want to get a drink from a Vogon, stick your finger down their throat. If you want to get a lift, forget about it... though you may be lucky enough to have one of the co-pilots let you in, given their dislike of Vogons. They catch and sit on beautiful gazelle-like creatures which breaks their spine(they still sit on them anyway), and every year drunkenly smash scuttled crabs with iron mallets. They have as much sex appeal as a road accident.

** Hephaestus has made many useful tools for heroes and gods: Eros' arrow, the Aegis shield his dad and sister use and Heracles' bronze clappers are just some. He also crafts new thunderbolts, based off the original design the original cyclops gave to Zeus during the Titanomachy. The three are co-workers in Mt Etna. Recently they suggested the idea of [[AdaptationalAttractiveness devising a more attractive form]], [[Literature/IsItWrongToTryToPickUpGirlsInADungeon which he achieved]]...[[GenderFlip but became a woman as a result]]. [[AbledInTheAdaptation He/she got the use of his legs back too]], [[EyepatchOfPower but loses an eye in the trade-off]]. Afterwards he could be heard musing "I've gotta ask [[Pantheon/{{Reptiles}} Quetzacoatl]] what's with Japan [[VideoGame/FateGrandOrder and their]] [[Manga/MissKobayashisDragonMaid gender flips]] anyway?"

* Hephaestus is one of the more introverted members of his family, as he's busy with work and making sacred metal work. With the expansive Trope Pantheon he's even more busy making stuff for the House of Weapons, Machinery and Technology to use. He's sometimes employed both Mr Meeseeks and Mr Deeds to help for the increased payload because of their dedication to achieving their goal...and he's smart enough to avoid Mr Meeseeks from pulling a MurderIsTheBestSolution by proper wording. Centuries before humans, Hephaestus was making automatons to aid him. He quickly became friends with another blacksmith god who also happens to be a machine: Autochthon. The latter suffered a lot of bullying from his peers due to his own disabilities, so he sees a lot of himself in the blacksmith god.

* Billions of years ago, when the primal Vogons emerge out of the sea, evolution took one look at them...and disgusted, gave up. However, even in this state, they were far too thick-headed to go extinct, doing without until they could fix it with surgery. Their own brain is a disfigured liver. Unsurprising, they as a race as some of the most droll, banal and generally aggravating species in creation. And they're fine with it so long as they get to throw their mean, callous, heartless exterior into sharp relief.

* Human gods look at them badly for destroying the Earth for a hyperspace bypass. [[PunchClockVillain There was no malice, however]], and they've said Earth had 50 years to check...at Alpha Centauri. [[ComicallyMissingThePoint It was only 4.3 light years away]]. Human bureaucrats have issue with him, however, more obsessive or obstructive examples like Cornelius Fudge, the Pointy-Haired Boss and Hermes Conrad are willing to compromise and work with them. Dolores Umbridge doesn't have any values, so she was already fine working for or with them.

* Every last one of them is a massive ObstructiveBureaucrat, which grinds the gears of most gods in the Trope Pantheon. Steven Armstrong especially as he considers them everything wrong with a government and Sirius Black hates them due to his own issues with bureaucracy. The Head Pixie, however, loves their bureaucracy. He let them be his followers, and now that they've ascended is happy to hang out with them. He can't stand their poetry though, but at least it isn't considered torture for him. They(more specifically Prostetnic Vogon Jeltz) used to represent the ObstructiveBureaucrat trope until [[Pantheon/LegalProcess Ron Swanson]] tarnished their name and threw them out. Still sour about it.
* Side firmly with law in the argument of [[OrderVersusChaos Law vs Chaos]]. If the Grand United Alliance of Chaos succeeds it would make paperwork impossible, plus they're the kind of people who wouldn't exist in [[Pantheon/{{Ambiguity}} Lucifer's]] world order. The values YHVH preaches, TheEvilsOfFreeWill...that's all very attractive to the Vogons. Most of the GUAL don't want them to join because of their banality, and even YHVH admits [[EveryoneHasStandards they're kind of killjoys]]. Initially, their representative Jeltz was part of the GUAE mainly due to the paperwork, but only because the GUAL didn't exist back then and they can't be called good.

* Enemies: ''Every'' CausticCritic and reviewer ever, the GUAC, the House of Pantheon/{{Music}}, [[Pantheon/OtherEmotions The Chaos Gods]], [[Pantheon/TaintedLaw Sirius Black]], [[Pantheon/{{Politicians}} Steven Armstrong]]

* Their own house dislikes them due to how awful their poetry was. Ever single reviewer in our out of the Trope Pantheon has declared them an enemy as well, along with the House of Pantheon/{{Music}} when they tried a poetry recital there. That being said, there are gods who don't find it painful. The Cybermen and Incubators, due to lacking emotion, are able to stand their poetry. Admittedly for the former, it taxes the emotional inhibitor, at least they don't go mad.

* His reputation as a teacher is a rather controversial position he is in. The Pantheon has known stories of abusive teachers and he stands among the top. This has lead to many to disavow him positions within the Houses of Pantheon/{{School}} and Pantheon/{{Music}} as they are not willing to add a teacher like him within their list of teachers. Thought thanks to his domain, Fletcher mostly spends his time out in a music classroom he commissioned in the House of Music, open to those who dare seek out his tutelage. Most students are too WeakWilled to handle his teaching for more than a day, but those who muscle through it [[TheExtremistWasRight end up being better musicians]], not without the sacrifice most will have to deal with under his helm, as shown by his herald, Andrew Neiman. Even with his skills being truth of what he can teach, many believe it is not worth it and can be learned through more peaceful alternatives instead of resorting into a perfectionist mindset.
