* [[NoNameGiven A nameless driver]] works a stuntman/mechanic by day but moonlights as a getaway driver for robberies by night. He lives in a Los Angeles apartment alone and has [[MysteriousPast no family or past to speak off]]. One day, he helps out his neighbor Irene and her son Benicio out of kindness. He eventually develops a friendly bond with Benicio and a mutual attraction for Irene. However, when Irene's husband Standard was released from prison and tries to reconnect with his family, it puts a halt into Irene's and the Driver's short budding romance. The Driver remains friendly with the family and even Standard welcomed him as a friend. All of these came ahead as Standard's criminal past caught up with him and he was forced do a day-time robbery by his old boss to pay for his protection money and threatens to hurt his wife and child if he refuses. The Driver offers to help Standard with the heist for the safety of Irene and Benicio. Tragically, Standard was killed in the robbery and The Driver and and a cohort managed to escape the scene with the money. After a few violent confrontations, he later found out the robbery was set-up to steal about a million dollars that belonged to the East Coast mob. Nino, a pizzaria owner and mobster who masterminded the plan to steal the money from the rival mob, wants the money returned to him and plans to kill all the people who may have connections with the robbery, including Standard, The Driver and Irene, in order to clean his tracks.
** The Driver tells the truth about his involvement in Standard's death, offers Irene the money and advises that she and her son leave town for their safety. However, she slaps him and refuses his offer. As the two later went into the elevator with another man with them, The Driver notices his gun, assumed he's a hitman and needed to act fast. The Driver turns to Irene and gave one last kiss to her before he brutally beats the hitman to death, revealing his violent side to her as she leaves. After he learns that his boss and friend Shannon was killed by Nino's partner-in-crime, Bernie Rose, he decides to take revenge on both of them. After drowning Nino in the ocean, The Driver calls Bernie to let him know that his partner is dead. Bernie would propose a meeting for The Driver to give back the money in exchange for Irene and Benicio's safety. He agreed to the meeting, even as The Driver knows his life is still in danger. He makes one last phone call to Irene, telling her he is leaving and that meeting her and Benicio was the best thing that ever happened to him. Bernie and The Driver then arrived at the parking lot where The Driver hands over the cash. As he did so, Bernie stabs him in the abdomen and The Driver stabs him in the neck in retaliation. Still wounded, The Driver leaves Bernie for dead next to his open bag of cash as he drives away into the night.
* After several hours of The Driver driving aimlessly into the night, he eventually parks his car at the side of the road and gradually lose consciousness due to blood loss from his injuries. He woke up at daytime to find that the stab wound on his abdomen was gone and found himself in a part of town he didn't recognized. He also found a strange letter in his windshield, a cryptic letter saying some nonsense about being a God and telling him of directions where he needed to go, along with a room key and some cash. With nothing to lose, he followed the directions to a body shop just from the outskirts of the one of the main Pantheon Houses. He was surprised to see his old boss Shannon there, alive and well, and cut in his arm that claimed his life was gone as well. Although, he is just as clueless as The Driver on how he turned up alive or where he currently is. With him coming close to dead, his injuries completely gone and his strange circumstances, The Driver assumes he is in some sort of afterlife and accepts it rather calmly (with his boss coming into a similar conclusion). He and Shannon decided to set-up shop in the body shop they have found (which acts as a temple), and resume as car mechanics again, hoping to lay low and try to maintain a normal life once more.
* According to the original source, as his story takes place [[TheFilmOfTheBook in another version of this world]], The Driver didn't have a stable home-life growing up. As a kid, his thieving father used him to break into homes due to his small size. His mother later killed his father and he was sent to foster parents until he moved out. Whatever happened between when he left his foster parents' home and the events of his story is not really explained. Back into our Driver, we don't really know if he has the same past as his original counterpart (but considering his involvement in crime and reluctance to disclose his past, it's safe to assume he didn't have a good home-life either). What we do know is that around five or six years ago before the events of his story, The Driver arrived to Shannon's auto body shop asking for a job and was hired based on his car-related skills. Shannon, jokingly but in his own words, has been "exploiting" him ever since, employing him as a skilled mechanic and later as a gateway driver, arranging the cars The Driver would use for his various assignments.
* The Driver always had an interest with cars. In [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drive_(novel) the original source]], before he moved out of his foster home, he hanged out around the desert race track and drive around the cars his machinic friend had modded to test them out. He had a fondness of driving ever since. As most of his related skills are based around cars, it's safe to assume our Driver has a similar fondness for them too. He also resumed applying for stunt driving jobs in the House of Pantheon/TheatreAndSpectacle and their car business resumed supplying and repairing the stunt cars for said House. One would assumed that there wasn't a need for stunt drivers due to the [[DeathIsCheap Pantheon's resurrection polices]]. But as not all actors are skilled at driving, are willing to do their own stunts, and that there is still the risk of getting hurt during production (which would slow down production time), stunt drivers like him are still needed in that House. The Driver doesn't have much opinion on this job other than it is additional income for their business and it's a good way to apply his driving skills legally.
* Ever since the city of [[Pantheon/AdministrativeCenters Los Angeles]] was declared a divine domain, there was an increase in robberies due to being one of the wealthier cities in the US. A would-be criminal not native to the City of Angels may have a harder time planning an escape route. If for whatever reason their usual gateway driver is unavailable, the various deified criminals would need to search for a replacement (especially one who knows the layout of the city so well). Some of them have heard of a very skilled gateway driver from Los Angeles and their criminal contacts were able to locate and contact him for a future assignment. When offered to do the job from them, he's agreed to do those heists for pragmatic reasons: because he needed the money to sustain himself and his business.
** The Driver is very impersonal when he comes to his clients, not wanting to know them personally or why they are doing their respective heists. All he needed to learn is the time and place and he'll meticulously plan the rest. He'll give the thieves five minutes to do their thing before driving off, no questions asked. The only caveat on all this is that he usually only take that client once and never again (as asking him again would really piss him off). It's unknown why but it's assumed it's to prevent him from being further implicated in his clients' heist. For these reasons, the thieves would only hire him if they are in desperate need of a driver. But once he's able to do his job, he's able to evade most non-superpowered law enforcement with relative ease.
* Given their accidental involvement with TheMafia lead to each other's deaths, The Driver and Shannon try to avoid dealing with any mafia related deities, given that they don't want a repeat of what happened during their mortal lives. The Driver doesn't even take assignments from them, not trusting if he's going to be alive by the end of the assignment. Various mobsters, like the Corleones and the [=DiMeo=] Crime Family, have heard of a gateway driver who have managed to kill two mob members and have been on their guard ever since, to the point of considering trying to screen potential getaway drivers, should they ever had a need for one. Other crime boss like The Kingpin and The Penguin don't seem to fear the Driver given that they are capable fighters in their own right, and compared to the superheroes they have to deal with, the Driver seems like joke compared to them. Still, given that he can still hurt their henchmen and fellow mafia associates, they also try to be cautious should they ever cross paths with him.
* Claude, a criminal of unknown background, is a frequent customer in Driver's auto shop. They don't talk to each other much but they were able to form some sort of mutual understanding with each other. It's because of him did the Driver started to encounter [[Pantheon/GrandTheftAuto the other gods from his world]]. Through Claude's allies, he learns that they had a lot in common than they thought: both had relations with a criminal's lover, both were betrayed during a robbery that was meant to kill them, and both are willing to get their hands dirty to seek revenge on those who wronged them.
** For the most part, he gets along with other criminals from Claude's world. It helps that each of them had experiences with crime and betrayals during their respective stories (with all of them succeeding on getting their revenge). Plus, they were frequent costumers of his auto body due to their frequent handling of various cars. He doesn't trust everyone from their world though. The Driver has worked with the corrupt millionaire Donald Love, upon Claude's recommendation, once to deliver a mysterious package to him. While Donald Love has not attempted to betray The Driver yet, his previous association with Dimitri Rascalov and Tommy Vercetti (both of whom he distrusted more due to their current mafia affiliations), he's not willing to fully trust him either.
* The Driver has come to learn other people who have been betrayed by the Mafia. One of them was Tommy Angelo, a taxi-driver-turned-mafia-member-turned-police-informant after he was betrayed by his mob associates. Given that Tommy is no longer on the side of crime unlike the Driver, they are hesitant fully trust each other. But given their mutual distrust for the Mafia as well as their respect for each other's driving skills, they are not opposed to working with each other should they be unfortunate enough to cross paths with the Mafia again. Vito Scaletta and Joe Barbaro were also have been in a similar situation as Tommy Angelo, who have also experienced various betrayals by the Mafia. But given the two having resumed their criminal activities in the Pantheon, with Vito possibly being a crime boss himself, the Driver isn't willing to trust them. He had a much easier time befriending Lincoln Clay, who retired from the mafia and became a drifter after he had got his revenge over the crime family he worked for. He also gets along with hitman Jimmy and former CIA agent John Donovan, although he isn't interested in just solely taking out Mafia members unless they had personally crossed him.
* In a lot of ways, The Driver and taxi driver Travis Bickle have a lot in common. Both are mentally unwell loners with violent tendencies but can still hold a normal job. Both have [[ChronicHeroSyndrome wanted to become the "hero"]], even risking their lives for someone that they haven't known for very long, and violently killing people who become a threat to them. The main difference is that The Driver can be sociable, is no stranger to crime, and mostly draws blood out of revenge for his loved ones; while Travis is a someone with NoSocialSkills, has a dim view of society in general, and is [[VigilanteMan willing to kill anyone he perceived as "wicked"]]. He has first heard of Travis after hearing Niko Bellic's bad experiences with him and his infamous reputation in the Pantheon. Travis first heard of The Driver as he was travelling to LA for a brief while, first seeing him during one of his heists he was driving for. Travis thought about enacting violence on the Driver, even driving to The Driver's temple to stalk him, to which The Driver noticed his glares. Travis then reconsidered attacking him and started seeing him more favorably, after he heard about his situation with the Mafia as well as their commonalities, including how he protected his lover and her child at the cost of his life. After confronting and chatting with each other, they have agreed to stay out of each others way, should they avoid a violent confrontation in the future.
* One day, The Driver received a mysterious package in his temple, which contained a frog mask and an invitation to a sketchy location. The Driver ignored the packages until he suddenly received several calls, saying they are planning to hurt Shannon should they not comply with their demands. Wanting to get to the bottom of this, The Driver did some research and found out about a group known as 50 Blessings, who recruited people into committing murders against the Russia mafia to drum up anti-Russian sentiments. The Driver was under the assumption they have heard of his killings of several hitmen and mafia members and took an interest in enacting murders on their behalf. He asked his allies and contacts about the group and their underling in order to confront them. Through these, he found and befriended Richter Berg, a masked assassin who formerly worked under them, although he only does his work for his mother's safety. Being forced into committing crimes for the sake of their loved one reminded him of Standard and himself. He also got acquainted with The Masked Maniac, only known as Jacket, a former target for Richter and who also worked under 50 Blessings [[spoiler:(although he doesn't know he too was also was being manipulated by them)]]. As someone who has bad experiences with the Russia mob, he pities The Driver due to his encounters with mobsters and his subsequent demise by one of them.
** Through them, The Driver managed to track down an associate of 50 Blessings. After making the associate sing with threats of hitting him with The Driver's hammer, they who told him they have long abandoned the Masked Killings since their ascension, as the Pantheonic Police were already aware of their modus operandi. The Driver, undeterred, went back to square one and managed to track down the packages to their senders, The Fans, a group of {{Loony Fan}}s of Jacket. He called them and only asked one of them to meet up with him without bring any weapons, to which their leader Tony decided to take the offer. Speaking on their behalf, they were interested in recruiting The Driver into their group, seeing as his own jacket and hearing about his feats of violent reminded him of their idol and assuming he shares their love for violence as well (he does not). When he started to ignore their packages, they started to threated hurting his boss to get his attention. His fellow gang members later found Tony laying in a pool of blood and a big hole in his head, well aware of The Driver's answer to their invitation.
* The NASCAR driver Richard Petty was one of the first normal car-related clients of their body shop and one of the few that wasn't involved in crime at all. After some small talk with Shannon, he discovered that The Driver was going to participate in a race but the plans fell through (but didn't tell Petty that it didn't work out because Bernie Rose, who was at first interested in investing a racecar from Shannon and have The Driver drive it, betrayed and killed both of them). Petty offered The Driver to demonstrates his racing skills and when The Drive got behind the wheel, Petty was really impressed in what he saw. He then offered the Driver if he can participate in official races one day. While Shannon was ecstatic for the offer, the Driver was hesitant on taking it, not wanting the attention drawn on himself if he ever gained fame as a racer. Petty remains a good auto shop client to their business as long as he remains unaware about The Driver's criminal past.
* Dominic Toretto, a former illegal street racer and fugitive, has heard of the Driver from the outer grapevine due to the recent criminal activity in the Los Angeles area. As a fellow Los Angeles resident, Dom took interest in recruiting him in his band of government-sanctioned [[KarmicThief karmic car-jackers]], which lead him to going to the body shop that he runs. After learning from Shannon about his recent racing demonstration with Petty, Dom decided to asked the Driver to compete in friendly street race with him (to which he agreed). Dom won that race, but he was really impressed on the maneuvers The Driver took (although he never mentioned if he ever compete in illegal street racing at any point). Dom also respected The Driver after leaning from Shannon about how he was willing to help out and protect his neighbor's family, reminding Dom on how dedicated he was in protecting his own crew. After much thinking, The Driver declined his offer to join him on the account of wanting to lay low (and his crew's missions are not the sort of thing he would do), although they remain allies. The Driver also got acquainted with Dominic's best friend Brian O'Conner, who is currently retired from criminal life. He gained similar respect for him after learning about The Driver from Dom, being someone with a family of his own.
* It should be noted that The Driver has never being involved in any drug related crimes. That all changed when he met the chemistry teacher turned drug kingpin, Walter White. Walt first went to the Driver's auto shop to have his Pontiac Aztek be looked at. The Driver and Shannon approached Walt, bewildered about [[Creator/BryanCranston his similar looks to Shannon]], although they quick got over it. Their initial interaction with Walt appeared to be friendly at first. Due to his prior connections to the criminal underworld, Walt then recognized The Driver as the skilled getaway driver from Los Angeles he's been hearing about. He then offers The Driver to do some deliveries to Los Angeles; some new associates of his have duffle bags with them and they were to be dropped of at a specific area in Los Angles. Thinking it was just an ordinary robbery job, The Driver agreed to do this one favor for him and letting him know of his strict guidelines.
** Sometime after he did his delivery, he watched some news about an increase of addicts and crimes related to blue crystal meth in the Los Angeles area that was unheard off before. The Driver was smart enough to put two and two together, and when Walt tried to meet up with The Driver to possibly do a second run, The Driver snapped at him, angry at being deceived yet again. The Driver threaten him with physical violence if he's unwittingly involved in the drug trade again and that was the end of their brief partnership.
** Jesse Pinkman, [[spoiler:who goes by his new name Mr. Driscoll]], also had his car looked at the same body shop a few weeks after the incident. It startled him when he first saw Shannon, [[spoiler:thinking this is another identify Walt has changed into]]. The Driver saw Jesse's nervous look and clarifies the situation that Shannon was not Walt, correctly assuming he's reacting that way due to meeting Walter White before. The Driver then asked Jesse about the blue meth (and told him about his involvement with Mr. White). Jesse, a bit hesitantly, told about his prior animosities with his former teacher and partner Mr. White, as well as his own past. Jesse wanting to leave the criminal life due to his many misfortunes and wanting to protect his girlfriend and her child, reminded him of both himself and Standard. He befriended Jesse after that, and Jesse learned about The Driver's recent past and how he died protecting his lover and her child, with Jesse noting that [[spoiler:he himself failed to save both of his girlfriends]] and envies The Driver on that regard.
* The Driver met the widow Sarah Collins as she was a friend of Jesse Pinkman. As the Driver was a kind-looking guy, they initially formed a friendship and hang out with each other more often. Sarah was even comfortable enough to tell about her past to him and even have him look after her kids when Jesse is away. Over time, The Driver had fallen for Sarah, although he himself wasn't sure if his feelings for the widow was [[ReplacementGoldfish due to her similarities with Irene]] (being a hard-working single mom who was once married to a criminal) and/or a genuine respect/admiration for her. One unfortunate day however, as The Driver and Sarah was on their way to The Driver's car at a parking lot near a bar they went to, they were ambushed by two random thugs (presumably sent by Mr. White after The Driver turned down their partnership). The Driver was able to quickly stab one of the thugs and then stabbed him repeatedly out of pure rage. Sarah took out her gun she carried with her and shot the second one dead right in the head twice. When the deed was done, they looked into each other and was at a lost for words, having see their violent side for the first time. Although they don't really arbor any hard feelings after that since they are only protecting each other, The Driver and Sarah mutually decided to stop seeing each other soon after, both for her and her kids' safety. The Driver did called her after that to tell her that she reminded him of a kind mother he used to know and that he enjoyed her company as much as when he was with her.
* Based on The Driver's violent outburst, his lack of reaction to blood, and his willingness to kill, it's safe to assume he's already a harden criminal by the time we meet him. As mentioned before, his violence is mostly done of self-defense or revenge. Although as implied when he gets verbally aggressive at returning clients, he can barely keep his anger in control. He has heard of the legendary hitman [[Pantheon/AlignmentChanges John Wick]], who retired after marrying his wife and came back after someone killed his dog (which was a gift from his late wife) and murdered the people responsible for it. The Driver mused about it for a moment; whether he was to give up his criminal life should he even had a chance with Irene. Well, it's too late to think about that now. He's not interested in getting into the hitman business either. They haven't met each other yet; but if they had, he wonders if they might get along with each other.
* That night as he mused about his thoughts and slept peacefully, he had a dream (or more likely, [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Driven_(novel) a vision for another world]]). In it, he was alive, gave up his life of crime, took a new name, founded a business and lived peacefully with his fiancée. All of it came crashing down however and he was back to his old ways once again to seek revenge on what he lost. He woke up pondering, whether alive or not, would he could ever escape his past or if it is destined to follow him. He sometimes wonder if his whole experience in the Pantheon was just a dying dream and he would awake up to have his story [[https://www.mtv.com/news/gkf93l/drive-sequel-ryan-gosling continue where it left off or be involved in someone's tale]]. Only time would tell.

* Complicated Relations: [[Pantheon/PersonalAppearanceOther Sarah Collins]]

* After several hours of The Driver driving aimlessly into the night, he eventually parks his car at the side of the road and gradually lose consciousness due to blood loss from his injuries. He woke up at daytime to find that the stab wound on his abdomen was gone and found himself in a part of town he didn't recognized. He also found a strange letter in his windshield, a cryptic letter saying some nonsense about being a God and telling him of directions where he needed to go, along with a room key and some cash. With nothing to lose, he followed the directions to an abandoned body shop just from the outskirts of the one of the main Pantheon Houses. With him coming close to dead, his injuries completely gone and his strange circumstances, he assumes he is in some sort of afterlife and accepts it rather calmly. He decided to set-up shop as a car mechanic again, hoping to try to leave his criminal past behind once more.
* According to the original source, as his story takes place [[TheFilmOfTheBook in another version of this world]], The Driver didn't have a stable home-life growing up. As a kid, his thieving father used him to break into homes due to his small size. His mother later killed his father and he was sent to foster parents until he moved out. Whatever happened between when he left his foster parents' home and the events of his story is not really explained. Back into our Driver, we don't really know if he has the same past as his original counterpart (but considering his involvement in crime and reluctance to disclose his past, it's safe to assume he didn't have a good home-life either). What we do know is that around five or six years ago before the events of his story, The Driver arrived to Shannon's auto body shop asking for a job and was hired based on his car-related skills. Shannon, jokingly but in his own words, has been "exploiting" him ever since, employing him as a skilled mechanic and later as a gateway driver, arranging his assignments and the cars he would use for said assignments.
* The Driver always had an interest with cars. In the original source, before he moved out of his foster home, he hanged out around the desert race track and drive around the cars his machinic friend had modded to test them out. He had a fondness of driving ever since. As most of his related skills are based around cars, it's safe to assume our Driver has a similar fondness for them too. He also resumed applying for stunt driving jobs in the House of Pantheon/TheatreAndSpectacle. One would assumed that there wasn't a need for stunt drivers due to the [[DeathIsCheap Pantheon's resurrection polices]]. But as not all actors are skilled at driving, are willing to do their own stunts, and that there is still the risk of getting hurt during production (which would slow down production time), stunt drivers like him are still needed in that House. The Driver doesn't have much opinion on this job other than it is additional income and because he thinks driving is one of the only skills he's good at.
* The NASCAR driver Richard Petty was one of the first normal car-related clients of the Driver and one of the few that wasn't involved in crime at all. After some small talk, he discovered that The Driver was going to participate in a race but the plans fell through (but didn't tell Petty that it didn't work out because Bernie Rose, who was at first interested in investing a racecar from Shannon and have The Driver drive it, betraying him). Petty offered The Driver to demonstrates his racing skills and he was really impressed in what he saw. Petty offered the Driver if he can participate in official races one day, but the Driver is hesitant on taking the offer, not wanting the attention drawn on himself if he ever gained fame as a racer. He remains a good auto shop client to The Driver as long as he remains unaware about The Driver's criminal past.

* {Travis Bickle, Taxi}

* Ever since the city of [[Pantheon/AdministrativeCenters Los Angeles]] was declared a divine domain, there was an increase in robberies due to being one of the wealthier cities in the US. A would-be criminal not native to the City of Angels may have a harder time planning an escape route. If for whatever reason their usual gateway driver is unavailable, the various deified criminals would need to search for a replacement (especially one who knows the layout of the city so well). Some of them have heard of a very skilled gateway driver from Los Angeles and their criminal contacts were able to locate and contact him for a future assignment. When offered to do the job from them, he's agreed to do those heists for pragmatic reasons: because he needed the money to sustain himself and his business and because, as said before, driving is the only thing he thinks he is good at.

* {Fast and Furious} {Dominic Toretto, has heard of the Driver from the criminal grapevine due to recently activity in the Los Angeles area and his recent racing demonstration with Petty. Dom is interest in recruiting him and decided to ask him to street race. they remain allies. The Driver get acquainted with Brian O'Conner, even if he retired from the criminal life.}
* It should be noted that The Driver has never being involved in any drug related crimes. That all changed when he met the chemistry teacher turned drug kingpin, Walter White. Walt first went to the Driver's auto shop to have his Pontiac Aztek be looked at. The Driver approached Walt after initially mistaken him to be Shannon [[Creator/BryanCranston due to his similar looks]]. He quickly discovers that he wasn't Shannon but their initial interaction appeared to be friendly at first. Due to his prior connections to the criminal underworld, Walt then recognized The Driver as the skilled getaway driver from Los Angeles he's been hearing about. He then offers The Driver to do some deliveries to Los Angeles; some new associates of his have duffle bags with them and they were to be dropped of at a specific area in Los Angles. Thinking it was just an ordinary robbery job, The Driver agreed to do this one favor for him and letting him know of his strict guidelines.

** {Jesse Pinkman}
* The Driver met the widow Sarah Collins as she was a friend of Jesse Pinkman. As the Driver was a kind-looking guy, they initially formed a friendship and hang out with each other more often. Sarah was even comfortable enough to tell about her past to him and even have him look after her kids when Jesse is away. Over time, The Driver had fallen for Sarah, although he himself wasn't sure if his feelings for the widow was [[ReplacementGoldfish due to her similarities with Irene]] (being a hard-working single mom who was once married to a criminal) and/or a genuine respect/admiration for her. One unfortunate day however, as The Driver and Sarah was on their way to The Driver's car at a parking lot near a bar they went to, they were ambushed by two random thugs (presumably sent by Mr. White after The Driver turned down their partnership). The Driver was able to quickly stab one of the thugs and then stabbed him repeatedly out of pure rage. Sarah took out her gun she carried with her and shot the second one dead right in the head twice. When the deed was done, they looked into each other and was at a lost for words. Although they don't really arbor any hard feelings after that, The Driver decided to bury his feelings and stopped seeing Sarah soon after, both for her and her kids' safety. But not before calling her to tell her that she reminded him of a kind mother he used to know and that he enjoyed her company as much as when he was with her.

'''[[Film/Drive2011 The Driver]], God of [[SunshineNoir Noirs Set In Idyllic Cities]]''' ("Deluxe", Kid, Guy, Neighbor, [[Main/IAmNotLeonardNimoy Ryan Gosling]], [[NoNameGiven Real Name: Unknown]])\\

* A nameless driver works a stuntman/mechanic but moonlights as a getaway driver for robberies. He lives in a Los Angeles apartment and helps out his neighbor Irene and her son Benicio. He develops a friendly bond with Benicio and a mutual attraction for Irene. However, when Irene's husband Standard was released from prison and tries to reconnect with his family, it puts a halt into Irene's and the Driver's short budding romance. The Driver remains friendly with the family and even Standard welcomed him as a friend. All of these came ahead as Standard's criminal past caught up with him and he was forced do a day-time robbery by his old boss to pay for his protection money and threatens to hurt his wife and child if he refuses. The Driver offers to help Standard with the heist for the safety of Irene and Benicio. Tragically, Standard was killed in the robbery and The Driver and and a cohort managed to escape the scene with the money. After a few violent confrontations, he later found out the robbery was set-up to steal about a million dollars that belonged to the East Coast mob. Nino, a pizzaria owner and mobster who masterminded the plan to steal the money from the rival mob, wants the money returned to him and plans to kill all the people who may have connections with the robbery, including Standard, The Driver and Irene, in order to clean his tracks.

* {Dreaming of a possible back story} From the original source, as his story takes place in another version of his world,

* Ever since the city of [[Pantheon/AdministrativeCenters Los Angeles]] was declared a divine domain, there was an increase in robberies due to being one of the wealthier cities in the US. A would-be criminal not native to the City of Angels may have a harder time planning an escape route. If for whatever reason their usual gateway driver is unavailable, their various criminal allies and contacts would need to search for a replacement (especially one who knows the layout of the city). Some of them have heard of a skilled gateway driver from Los Angeles and those individuals were able to locate and contact him for a future assignment. When offered to do the job from them, he's agreed to do those heists for pragmatic reasons: because he needed the money to sustain himself and his business and because, in his own words, driving is the only thing he is good at.
** The Driver is very impersonal when he comes to his clients, not wanting to know them personally or why they are doing their respective heists. All he needed to learn is the time and place and he'll meticulously plan the rest. He'll give the thieves five minutes to do their thing before driving off, no questions asked. The only caveat on all this is that he usually only take that client once and never again (as asking him again would really piss him off). For these reasons, the thieves would only hire him if they are in desperate need of a driver. But once he's able to do his job, he's able to evade most non-superpowered law enforcement with relative ease.

* {Breaking Bad deities} [The Driver approached Walter White after initially mistaken him to be Shannon. He quickly discovers that he wasn't but the interaction did lead him to be briefly involved in the drug trade. He's involved in the drug trade ended after being involved with both Gus' and the Salamanca's drug forces.]
* {Sarah Collins} [He met Sarah in a similar situation as with Irene, as he fixed her car when it was not working. The two initially formed a friendship. The Driver had fallen for Sarah, but Sarah only views him as a friend. The Driver wasn't sure if his feeling for Sarah was due to her similarities with Irene or a genuine respect/admiration for her. He stopped meeting her soon after, mostly to prevent the same thing that happened to Irene.
* {Jesse Pinkman} As Jesse was a friend of Sarah, The Driver often sees him a lot. He mistakes him as her husband, only for her deny it, saying her husband is dead.

* {stunt driving}
* {Racing} [[Pantheon/NonAthleticSports Richard Petty]] was one of the few of The Driver's clients that wasn't involved in the crime at all. The Driver later demonstrates his racing skills and he was impressed. Petty offered some sort of driving sponsorship, but Driver is hestitant on taking the offer, unsure if he can truly leave his criminal live behind.

** The Driver tells the truth about his involvement in Standard's death, offers Irene the money and advises that she and her son leave town for their safety. However, she slaps him and refuses his offer. As the two later went into the elevator with another man with them, The Driver notices his gun, assumed he's a hitman and needed to act fast. The Driver turns to Irene and gave one last kiss to her before he brutally beats the hitman to death, revealing his true nature to her as she leaves. After he learns that his boss and friend Shannon was killed by Nino's partner-in-crime, Bernie Rose, he decides to take revenge on both of them. After killing Nino, The Driver calls Bernie to let him know that his partner is dead. Bernie would propose a meeting for The Driver to give back the money in exchange for Irene and Benicio's safety. He agreed to the meeting, even as The Driver knows his life is still in danger. He makes one last phone call to Irene, telling her he is leaving and that meeting her and Benicio was the best thing that ever happened to him. Bernie and The Driver then arrived at the parking lot where The Driver hands over the cash. As he did so, Bernie stabs him in the abdomen and The Driver stabs him in the neck in retaliation. Still wounded, The Driver leaves Bernie for dead next to his open bag of cash as he drives away into the night.
* After several hours of The Driver driving aimlessly into the night, he eventually parks his car at the side of the road and gradually lose consciousness due to blood loss from his injuries. He woke up at daytime to find that the stab wound on his abdomen was gone and found himself in a part of town he didn't recognized.

* {GTA} [Claude was frequent customer in The Driver's car shop. They don't talk to each other much but they were able to form some sort of mutual understanding with each other. It's because of him was the Driver able to form connections to [[Pantheon/GrandTheftAuto the other gods from his world]]. And though his mutual, he learns that they had a lot in common than they thought: being that both tried to avenge someone who was betrayed and shot in a robbery, they had relations with a criminal's wife and help said criminal, only for them to die shortly after.

* A screening of a new movie was being held at the House of Pantheon/TheatreAndSpectacle for an action movie about heists and car chases. Based on its [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KBiOF3y1W0Y movie's]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=khI-05xwMco trailers]], it looked like it was another high octane car chase movie similar to the Film/TheFastAndTheFurious films. However, some of the deified viewers of the film found that the film did not match their expectations, as it had a much slower pace (with several calmer dramatic moments and lots of beautiful day and night shots of the city) and was much more violent film than the trailers would imply. Some of them walked out, but those who stayed found themselves sympathizing with the nameless driver and worried for his life due to his injuries by the end of the film. They promptly requested his ascension in the hopes to save his life at the last minute.

** Wake up. Wake ''uuup!'' -- Welcome to Trivia Murder Party! A seemingly normal trivia game with a murderous twist. But it's also a fun party game where up to 8 players can play by entering a room code and connect to an in-game lobby from your device [[note]]like a phone, tablet or computer with an internet connection[[/note]]. You can also play the game by yourself, if you're a weirdo with no friends. Now, I know what you are thinking, you just woken up to a long dark hall with no recollection of how you got there and all you have in your hand is a smartphone with no signal. You're also hearing a guy using a voice changer to make his voice sound really deep and sinister. Well, all I can tell you is that a serial killer just kidnapped you and to escape, you have to play along. Let's play, shall we?
** I'm going to ask you a bunch of trivia questions. It would be displayed on your device and on your game screen (which is placed in this room). If you get a question right, you'll earn free money and be safe until the next question. If you get a question wrong, you'll be sent to The Killing Room [[note]]or The Killing Floor depending on which game you are playing[[/note]] where you have to fight for your life as you get to play one of my awesome minigames. Lose any of my minigames and I'll kill you. Refusing to play any of my minigames and I'll also kill you. If you win, you get to live other round. If one of you is still alive when we reach a certain number of questions, you'll all go to the final round and get a chance to escape. I'll explain that in detail later, I don't want to ruin the surprise yet.
** First Que- Oh, you want to know my name? Well tough luck because [[NoNameGiven I'm not going to give that to you]]. What's that? You wanted to know more about me? Okay fine, but we'll make this quick: I grew up in a hotel where my family used to owned and run the place. They also had a fondest for murder and would kill some of our hotel guests. I didn't want to be apart of that at first (not the whole murder thing, I meant running a hotel). I was more interested in all things trivia and pop culture. So after the place closed down, I set out on my own to try and become a trivia game show host. When that didn't pan out, I decided to kidnap to people and make them play my own game show called ''Trivia Murder Party'', a blend of my passions for Trivia and Murder. You should have heard of me by now, I'm all over the news you know. Years later, I got a will from my father that the old family hotel belongs to me now, so I decided to return home and reopened the place. I also decided to continue the family tradition of running a legitimate hotel and luring a few hotel guests to their deaths, this time by making my guests do several rounds of trivia.
* After my last victim [[EverythingExplodesEnding blew up my freaking hotel]], I was kinda became homeless for while. One day when I was reading the newspaper (you know, to find some articles about me), I came across this classified ad looking for a voice-over host for their next trivia show. I was so stoked about getting that job that I went to this shady-looking address listed on the ad for the interview. Next thing you know, I found myself surrounded by several dark hooded figures, kinda scary even for myself. They told wanted me that I was chosen as a God, more specifically of being a '''FairPlayVillain''' because although I put my victims in my deadly minigames, they always have a chance to survive as long as they play along and win. Even in minigames where it's more likely to kill them and it's pure RNG (like my Loser Wheel), my victims can also survive that somehow too. Even thought I'm very annoyed when that happens, I do admit to sticking to my rules most of the time, it's in the sprit of a party game after all, even if it involves murder.
* Okay, I think I've said quite enough. Let's begin. First Question: I know there's a lot of Houses in the Pantheon and it can be confusing sometimes. Personally, I like going to the House of Pantheon/{{Knowledge}} if I needed more trivia ideas. I also like to go to the House of Pantheon/{{Craft}} to get supplies for my minigames as well as the Houses of Pantheon/{{Slaughter}} or Pantheon/{{Weapons}} for obvious reasons.
-->'''But if I want to get a "meringue", which House should I go to?'''
-->1. House of Pantheon/{{Science}}
-->2. House of Pantheon/TheatreAndSpectacle
-->3. House of Pantheon/{{Food}}
-->4. House of Pantheon/{{Mentalism}}
-->.
--> And the correct answer is: [[spoiler:3. House of Food]]
--> Who got the question right? [[spoiler: INH ✔ | Marion ✘ | Arthur ✔ | Walt ✔ | Audience: 75%]]
--> Which leaves only you, come with me. [[spoiler:[The Host takes Marion to The Killing Room, where he introduces a minigame called "Skewers". She has to hide within a grid of spaces inside a box to prevent herself from being skewed by the safe players. She hid in the upper left corner but INH was able to stab her at the box's left side. Because she lost, The Host hits her doll with bunch of nails from a nail gun, killing her. But somehow she and her doll turns into a ghost.] ]]
* Remember when I said, if you lose any of my minigames, I'll kill you? Yeah, I totally meant it. But don't be discouraged just because you got turned into a ghost. Who knows, maybe if you keep playing, you might go to the final round where you can steal a living player's life force, gain back your body and win the game. Oops, did I give away too early? Oh well!

* {Minigame deities, party game deities, mentions that party god's high priest is cookie and he used to shadow for him}
* {Serial Killer Rivals}

* I tried to pitch a TV adaptation of my game to several game show hosts, who were fine with their contestants getting hurt. They were interested in doing a collaboration with me at first, but we later split due to "CreativeDifferences". Killian wanted to make not only my mini-games unwinnable but also rigged the trivia to make all the choices wrong (which rubs me the wrong way). Vox wanted to axed the trivia aspects of my game as he thinks the viewers would find it boring (and he didn't like to give away any prize money). Chris, the ''Total Drama'' guy, was fine with my game, but only requested to remove the murder-y aspects (not because he cared about his contestants but because his network said they won't allow it). I did managed to make pitch to Professor Genki, who liked my idea and said that he's interested in working with me. He has this idea for a potential spin-off that includes trivia to his "Ethical" trap course. I think adding a course where you get money by shooting people would be fun and I'm starting to warm up to idea of dressing you up in animal suits.
* {Those who oppose The Host, making letters to the haters (those who are against deadly games)}
* I wasn't sure about this whole god thing first. Being a god is all great and all but I'm also worried it might attach some unwanted attention onto me and that I would have less time to do my trivia game. Nowadays, it feels just the old times and I even renovated my temple to look like an abandoned temple to lure in any near-by tourists. I did met the guy who used to has this trope that I now have, platinum-blond hair with a black robe. I asked him why he decided to move out; something about [[HeelFaceTurn him turning good]] and his place looking outdated, I can't really remember. I do feel bad for that guy thought, so I made him my high priest for now while he's waiting to relocate somewhere else.

* A screening of a new movie was being held at the House of Pantheon/TheatreAndSpectacle for an action movie about heists and car chases. Based on its [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KBiOF3y1W0Y movie's]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=khI-05xwMco trailers]], it looked like it was another high octane car chase movie similar to the Film/TheFastAndTheFurious films. However, some of the deified viewers of the film found that the film did not match their expectations, as it had a much slower pace (with several calmer moments) and was much more violent film than the trailers would imply. Some of them walked out, but those who stayed found themselves sympathizing with the nameless driver and worried for his life due to his injuries by the end of the film. They promptly requested his ascension in the hopes to save his life at the last minute.

* A nameless driver works a stuntman/mechanic but moonlights as a getaway driver for robberies. He lives in a Los Angeles apartment and helps out his neighbor Irene and her son Benicio. He develops a friendly bond with Benicio and a mutual attraction for Irene. However, when Irene's husband Standard was released from prison and tries to reconnect with his family, it puts a halt into Irene's and the Drive's short budding romance. The Driver remains friendly with the family and even Standard welcomed him as a friend. All of these came ahead as Standard's criminal past caught up with him and he was forced do a day-time robbery by his old boss, who threatens to hurt his wife and child if he refuses. The Driver offers to help Standard with the heist for the safety of Irene and Benicio. Tragically, Standard was killed in the robbery and The Driver and his cohorts managed to escape the scene with the money. After a few violent confrontations, he later found out the robbery was set-up to steal about a million dollars that belonged to the East Coast mob, and that Nino, a pizzaria owner and mobster who masterminded the plan, wants the money back to him and plans to kill all the people who may have connections to him, including Standard, The Driver and Irene.
** The Driver offers Irene the money and advises that she and her son leave town for their safety, but she refuses his offer. As the two later went into the elevator, a hitman steps inside the elevator with them. The Driver gave one last kiss to Irene before he brutally beats the hitman to death, revealing his true nature to her as he leaves. After he learns that his friend Shannon was killed by Nino's partner-in-crime, Bernie Rose, he decides to take revenge on both of them. After killing Nino, The Driver calls Bernie to let him know that his partner was dead. Bernie would propose a meeting to give back the money in exchange for Irene and Benicio's safety. He agreed to the meeting, even as The Driver knows his life is still in danger. He makes one last phone call to Irene, telling her he is leaving and that meeting her and Benicio was the best thing that ever happened to him. Bernie and The Driver then arrived at the parking lot where The Driver hands over the cash. As he did so, Bernie stabs him in the abdomen and The Driver stabs him in the neck in retaliation. Still wounded, The Driver leaves Bernie for dead next to his open bag of cash as he drives away into the night.

** He currently has Main/NeverTrustATrailer which I'm working on. - Despite being the protagonist, we never know what The Driver's name is, not even his neighbor Shannon whom he grows attached to [[note]] She calls him "Kid" but that's just a nickname she gave to him because he never gave her his name[[/note]]. Not even [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drive_(novel) its source novel]] gave its protagonist a name. It makes sense considering that his criminal profession as a getaway driver makes him not want to get attached to anyone and can't leak any personal information to incriminate himself.

* Chuck Noland was a delivery efficiency expert working for [=FedEx=], with a stable job, friends and a loving girlfriend. On Christmas Day 1995, the delivery plane he was on got stuck down during a storm and crash-landed in the Pacific Ocean. After washing into a deserted island alone, using his resourcefulness, Chuck uses some of the packages he had found to survive on the island for 4 years. One of those packages was a volleyball, which he named 'Wilson' named after the brand of the volleyball. He draws a face and [[CompanionCube starts speaking to it like it was a person]], which help keep himself somewhat sane. Eventually, Chuck tried to escape the island with a man-made raft, bringing Wilson with him. However, he got caught in another storm and lost Wilson as it floated away from his grasps. Losing his sole companion broke Chuck [[PlayedForDrama emotionally]]. Fortunately, he was rescued by a passing cargo ship shortly after. Since returning to land, he has trouble adjusting back to normalcy.
* Chuck managed to open all but one package he had found on the island, a box with orange wings and blue halos around it. Why he kept that package unopened and decided to return the package anyway once he came back to land is only known to Chuck himself. Shortly after travelling to Texas to return the worn down package to its owner, Chuck finds himself in a middle of a crossroads and stared at the pick-up truck with the winged drawing at the back. After contemplating sometime if he should follow the pick-up truck or not, he decided to follow the driver back to her ranch, met up with her again, and told his survival story and how her package and the symbol she drew gave him a symbol of hope to live for. After chatting for a bit, they exchanged contacts.
** Sometime many weeks later, the shipping company [=FedEx=] decided to expand into the Pantheon, much like how several fashion companies from the mortal realm decided to set up shop in the House of Pantheon/{{Costumes}}. Chuck, having returned to work doing his old job, travelled to this realm to check on one of their newly open branches. He was scheduled for a private meeting that day with several Pantheon representatives. But when he got there, he was informed the meeting was not a work-related at all. It was a meeting regarding an object they had found that belonged to him, a worn down volleyball with a twigs stuffed inside a bloody handprint with a face painted on it. Chuck was overwhelmed with happiness and then confusion.
** The representatives explained that the object (or Wilson, as Chuck corrected them about the name) was floating into the ocean, eventually floating its way into the Hall of Pantheon/WaterAndMoisture where it was found. Due to its weird appearance, they decided to track its owner, through a combination of magic and detective work. Piecing together the tragic circumstances that led to Wilson's creation, its use as a companion object and Chuck's grief over losing it, touched their hearts. They then decided to offer Chuck godhood, representing those mourning for objects in general. As he was ashamed and embarrassed for the reasons why he was chosen, he was at first indecisive and then decided to decline the offer, he wanted to fully explore the realm first before deciding if he's ready to take the title. Having researched the realm before coming to the Pantheon in the first place (to be prepared and all), the possibility of finding other people who were in the same position as he was could help him cope with the things he has experienced.
* Was former High Priest to Angela Sheehan, the girl who stole a baby Jesus statue and cared for it like it was a real thing. He found her story adorable, while Angela felt pity in his. She also weird out by Wilson at first until it was Chuck explained why he made it, which Angela understood it as "he made Wilson because he was lonely and need friends to talk to". Despite the weirdness, they formed an IntergenerationalFriendship with her and her herald family (which helps as he did befriend a Russian boy and his mom in the past). He later became her High Priest until Angela decided to encourage him to take the title. There are times some people heckle Angela for what she did and Chuck stood up for her, not only because she was a child but because he wanted to prove them (and himself internally) that there's nothing to be shamed of treating objects like they were people. Chuck also became friends with Linus van Pelt for similar reasons, understood Chuck's need for Wilson just as well as Angela, and was protected by Chuck when people tried to heckle him.
* During the early days of his godhood, there were talks about putting Wilson in Pantheon/TheGreatTreasury, where important story-related items are stored. Chuck is extremely sentimental about Wilson, given that this was his only companion for 4 years. So, Chuck requested that Wilson stay with him instead; it stays in his temple most of the time and occasionally bring Wilson with him when he's feeling a bit silly and in a good mood. Having to give up his pocket watch and the worn package (both of which have him hope), he supposed the ball was his current reminder of the hardships he had overcome during his stay on the island. Maybe when he's fully ready to move on, he can donate Wilson to the Treasury one day.
* Chuck eventually found adults who formed connections with objects as well, later befriending them. Chell has a burnt companion cube with her from when she finally escaped from the lab she was being held at for many years. She's not very talkative, but regardless, he could relate to the sense of loneliness she must have felt being by herself for so long with no human contact. Having heard of someone mourning for an object, Chuck decided to pay a visit to Stan Pines's temple to hear more about it. Stan felt embarrassed recounting the time he holds a funeral for a wax statue of him, but that was because the statue looked just like his brother, whom he had lost in a freak portal accident years ago. Luckily, he did get his brother back, but it took a while for them to be on speaking terms.
* Recently met Bear Grylls, who hosts a few reality shows about nature and surviving in the wilderness. After learning about his shows, Chuck commended Bear and his staff for their efforts in educating their viewers, noting that he lamented that other shows about island survival, like Series/GilligansIsland, did not prepare you in actually learning on how to survive on the island. Bear, in turn, as really impressed with Chuck's survival story (although he pities on how the experience took an emotional toll on him). The [=FedEx=] employee also met other island survivors, and although he feels sad for them for their unpleasant experience during the time they were stuck on an island, he was glad they were eventually rescued, thus only being stuck for a shorter period of time than Chuck was.
* As mentioned, Chuck found several packages he found on the island, which aid his survival. Upon those are a pair of ice skates (which he uses as an axe), a dress (which he used its fabric as a fish net), a bunch of video tapes (which he used to tie his raft), and of course Wilson himself. While not as smart and resourceful as high school student and disaster survivor Senku Ishigami or the government agent Angus [=MacGyver=], they were still impressed by his resourcefulness. Chuck downplayed his own achievements, given that he was only trying to survive and had to make use with what he ever he currently has. He also had to make use with the creatures and fauna on the island itself, for food, fire, shelter and eventually his makeshift raft. Another fellow island/wilderness survivors like Wilson (the gentleman scientist) as well as Steve and Alex, who can craft stuff using nearly everything on their environment, are also impressed by Chuck's ingenuity.
* Hearing about the plane crash that caused Chuck's predicament made Ted Striker nervous due to his war-induced fear of flying. Nevertheless, Ted was still impressed on how Chuck managed to survived following his plane crash. Chuck, in turn, was impressed with Ted on how he handled his plane-related situation, how he bravely took over the plane when all the pilots were unable to fly during a food poisoning incident. The [=FedEx=] employee lament how he couldn't save the plane he was on, even accidentally injured one of the pilots when the plane became turbulent. Ted reassures him, he couldn't do much even if he happened to have any pilot skills and the crash was not his fault, given that Chuck told him that they couldn't find the cause of the crash in the first place.
* Chuck has certifications for sailing and even won awards for it. It is how Chuck succeeded in sailing in his makeshift raft as soon as he had the idea to make a sail out of a piece of port-potty, and he felt like the weather was right for him to set sail. Chuck recently tried to revisit sailing again, and what better place to do that than in Hall of Pantheon/LandAndSeaTravel. He befriended Moana, a teenage island native from the South Pacific, whose people were once skilled seafarers. Chuck became interested in their culture, their past history with sailing, and how they survived given that they mainly reside on the island their whole lives. Moana was amazing on how Chuck survived on his own for so long. They learned from each other and even giving each other sailing tips.
* During one of his sailing trips, he got caught up in another storm, which veered him off course from his destination. He was lucky enough to land on an island with an actual inhabitant, but he still needed some repairs on his boat before he can go on off on his merry way. Said inhabitant, Robinson Crusoe, was cordial enough with him to let him stay on his island for a while. While Crusoe was proud of Chuck upon hearing his accomplishments after learning he was in a similar situation as he was, he's a bit self-centered to truly befriend the younger man. Chuck, in turn, while also impressed by Crusoe's adventures, couldn't relate to his religious affinity or his opinions on slave owning (which disturbs his modern sensibilities). When Chuck managed to repair his boat, the two men depart amicably, but the [=FedEx=] employee was glad to leave the island as soon as he can.
* While surviving on the island is not an easy feat on its own, surviving in the middle of the ocean hoping for rescue can be just as hard. When Chuck left the island with his makeshift raft, he and Wilson had to battle the harsh waves and heavy storms just for a chance to get into calmer waters. He recently met Pi Patel, as sole survivor of a shipwreck, which also killed his whole family. Unlike Chuck, Pi never made it to land until his rescue and had to contend with the wild animals (and later a wild tiger) as his only companions. Still, they were impressed by each other's survive stories and pitied their respective loses. Chuck wasn't sure how he would fair if his only companion as a wild tiger, while Pi admitted he feels lucky that he had at least have Richard Parker (the tiger that he tamed) as a companion rather than having to make a new one on his own.
** During his time on his raft following his island escape, he encountered a huge whale, that thankfully didn't damage his raft once the whale got close. He was thankful being eaten by a whale was not added on his list of misfortunes (although he is aware that whales don't eat humans in general). During one of his sailing trips, he was warned about other more dangerous whales among Pantheonic waters courtesy of an old man and his very young son. Chuck has taken note of these warning, as he hopes one day he would never encounter them.
* The experiences of being on the island still linger within Chuck. For example, seeing seafood dishes causes him to blankly stare at the dish, given that those were one of the few things he can eat on the island. His prolonged isolation likely caused psychological issues, like depression or PTSD. He's a frequent visitor of the House of Pantheon/{{Despondency}}, and he eventually set up a second temple there.
** One of the deities Chuck encountered in that House was Hester Prynne, a Puritan woman from the 17th century with a scarlet letter "A" on her dress. When he asked about the symbol (which is the reason why she ascended), she told him that it was a mark of adultery, as she was accused of sleeping with another man after her husband was assumed to be lost and dead. She was ashamed of this fact, especially since her husband eventually did turn up alive and tortured her lover out of revenge. Her story reminded Chuck of his former girlfriend Kelly. Fearing that Chuck was dead, the people around her told her to move on, and even thought she still thinks about Chuck and never lose hope he still alive somewhere, she did found a new lover and had a kid with him. When Chuck came back, she wanted to elope with her former boyfriend. Chuck decided to let her go and told her to not go with him for the sake of her husband and their children. Chuck was surprised by the {{values dissonance}} given how the modern times were less harsh on {{accidental adultery}} and pities Hester for being harshly treated during those times. In addition to pitying Chuck for his experiences on the island, Hester pities him for what happened to him and Kelly, was surprised on how modern times were lenient with those types of sins, and was glad he didn't turn out to be as vengeful as her husband.
* While he did survive on the island alone for more 4 years, Chuck learns that there's are other deities who were tried to survive in isolation far longer than he was. He eventually befriended them, despite being the first non-humans he encountered. Della Duck was one such example, having her rocket ship crash-land on the moon and having to survive for 10 years alone, while trying to repair the ship to make it back home. She missed the birth of her children (who were eggs at the time), and used that as a motivation to go back home. She eventually returned to earth and initially struggled with returning to normalcy and motherhood as a result. There's also the Straw Hat member Brook, who was stuck by himself on his old pirate ship, which claimed the life of its crew, for fifty years, being kept alive by the devil fruit he ate. He kept clinging to life so that he could keep his promise to return for the young whale he befriended. After learning that Chuck's motivation for keeping himself alive was the pocket watch his girlfriend gave them, hoping to return to her (which ultimately didn't happened like he hoped), they were sad for him.
* When Chuck was found, his unkept appearance also made him kind look like a feral, wild man. Since his return to land, he kept himself well-dressed and his extra hair and beard was trimmed away. Chuck has no interest in returning to the wild, but he was curious about those who were far away from civilization and how it affected them. He briefly met Mowgli and Goku, who, at one point in their childhood, lived in the wilderness but eventually moved into and grew up in civilization. They seem to be well-adjusted for the most part. The same can't be said for another person he met, Tarzan, who spend most of his life being raised in the wilderness, [[WildChild without any experience outside that world]]. So, he couldn't return or socialized to his original society even if he tried. Perhaps Chuck should start to consider himself lucky he was able to reintegrate himself into his old life somewhat.
* Met Forrest Grump after being mistaken for him many times, [[Creator/TomHanks for his apparent similarities in appearance]]. Forrest is a man of many accomplishments, but surviving a plane crash and several years of isolation on an island is not one of them. Although a bit of a simpleton, he's a kindhearted man that is willing to help give advice to Chuck whenever he feels troubled. Thought Forrest, he also met the [[Creator/TomHanks similarly looking]] Capt. John Miller, a {{shell shocked veteran}} from WWII. He isn't an island survivor either, but he empathized with Chuck for what he has gone through mentally.
* There are the rumors from the realm of a certain [[Pantheon/JokesAndPranks Griffin family]] that Wilson's real name is [[Recap/FamilyGuyS3E10AFishOutOfWater Voit]] or that he is secretly [[Recap/FamilyGuyS21E11LoveStoryGuy Ryan Gosling]]. There are also reports from a [[Pantheon/ComedyGenres certain robotic chicken]] that Wilson has had adventures on his own before returning to Chuck. Chuck refutes these claims and that Wilson also can't walk or talk. He also strongly denies [[Recap/FamilyGuyS11E17Bigfat he screwed that volleyball because he was lonely]]. The Toys of Toy Story were curious to investigate the claims regarding Wilson's sentience, as they wanted to mostly test a theory if adults can make objects comes to life like children do ([[WesternAnimation/ToyStory4 like with the case with Forky]]). The reason why they haven't checked Wilson yet is because Woody himself is weird out by Wilson's owner. He's too weird out by [[Creator/TomHanks Chuck's voice]] to even dare visit his temple.

* Complicated Relationship With: '''[[Pantheon/{{Loneliness}} Stanley]]'''
* ''"This is the story of a man named Stanley"'' were the starting words uttered by this unseen narrator, architect of the story about the aforementioned man named Stanley. The Narrator's role is simple, he has to narrate Stanley's story from beginning to end and everyone will live happily ever after. That is, if Stanley decides to follow through with said narrative, as things can get OffTheRails if Stanley decides to, making the Narrator either punish Stanley or fabricate a new tale entirely. But he is always ever-present, ready to deliver the best narration he can, even if he can get a little [[LemonyNarrator wacky during it]].
* The Narrator was very compelling in his ascension, although it is rumored that he "persuaded" the court of gods into allowing him to godhood. For a while he didn't really have much to do other than narrate in his usual style about whatever was happening, with zero control on what would happen. That all changed when Stanley arrived, as he gained his control over the narrative and that allowed him to steer Stanley into whatever tale he had planned for him and that also affected other deities. Said development would be the start of many bizarre misadventures for several deities.
* His relationship with the Stanley is a complicated one. Sometimes, The Narrator is just a neutral observer narrating Stanley's life. Sometimes, he's a useful guide and a friend to him. Sometimes, they don't get along when Stanley decides to ignore him and makes his own path. Sometimes, they get along when strange things happen. Sometimes, The Narrator can be cruel to Stanley and he's even killed or lied to Stanley a few times. Sometimes, Stanley can be cruel to him by taking away his happiness and destroying his game. It all depends on the choices Stanley makes.
* In the past, it was very common to hear mild-sounding British voice from out of nowhere state "This is the story of X", then said deity was prompted to follow the Narrator's exposition. However and quite frequently, those ended up disliking how controlling the Narrator's exposition is and often go against the Narrator's wishes. The Narrator is patient about this; he will start speaking directly to the person, often reprimanding their choice of action before placing down walls to {{Railroad|ing}} the story back on track. Should the person cause the Narrator's tract to go completely OffTheRails, however, the Narrator will place the person in one of [=GLaDOS=]' [[ControllableHelplessness unsolvable test chambers]], commenting on the story as if it were a tragedy. He seems to particularly enjoy that last part. That's part of the reason why he and [=GLaDOS=] are very good friends.
** Before, he would place the unruly person into the world of [[Pantheon/VideoGameStages Minecraft]], only for him to lament how open ended it was and decided to switch locations. He tried to follow [[Pantheon/GamingGenresNToZ Steve and Alex]] and tried to put up blocks to make their story seem less open-ended. That didn't end well as they were able to mine those blocks easily. He also thought about to put the unruly person into the worlds of VideoGame/{{Firewatch}} and VideoGame/RocketLeague as well. But given that that he eventually didn't really liked that idea the first time when he put Stanley in those places, he decided to not pull that idea again.
* Often is the welcoming voice to newer deities, guiding them through a "tutorial" and teaching them most of the ins and outs of the Trope Pantheons. This, however, is just optional and it was made to keep him entertained and away from other deities so he would stop trying to narrate their every movement. Stanley is often forced to help the Narrator in order to make an example of what NOT to do and Stanley has been pretty annoyed at that. The reason he doesn't help as often is because of how Stanley is likely to [[OffTheRails cause problems]].
* Considering he tends to railroads characters into his story by any means he has available. Most who he has tried to narrate over just follow because they are interested in his story, others not so much. The two he constantly has trouble with are Kamina and Old Man Henderson, whose defiance towards fate and the plot respectively has made the Narrator want to "correct" them the most but that only ends up with the Narrator giving up on them after a while.
** Another particular deity he started to mess with was Diogenes, AKA the Man in the Cauldron. He first took notice after hearing that he was being followed by a British narrator, similar to Stanley and then both Stanley and Diogenes became friends. So the Narrator decided to test his resolve by narrating a tale where Diogenes had to climb an even more difficult mountain but he refused to follow the directions of the Narrator, making his journey all that more difficult.
** And then there was the Abridged version of Kirito, who the Narrator decided to narrate over after hearing of how he tends to not care about the established plotline. Kirito tried to ignore him but then the Narrator started insulting him with the AwfulTruth and then was promptly silenced. Since then, the Narrator loves to mess with Kirito whenever he can.
* Often seen commentating on matches for the [[VideoGame/{{Dota2}} Defenders of the Ancient]] and his habit to be too wordy and very sarcastic has annoyed them to no end. Others however have found his commentary and observation to be priceless. He later began [[VideoGame/{{Dungeons}} delving into the storytelling business by telling a story about someone or something called the Absolute Evil]], containing multiple references to other fantasy series. The only person who seemed to like it was [[Pantheon/{{Architecture}} The Keeper]], who found it similar to his escapades.
* The Narrator was very curious after meeting Martin Walker and hearing about his story and how his own delusion led him to a villainous path. Walker on the hand despises for the very idea of being [[ButThouMust pushed to commit horrible things]] and does not ever want to hear his narration. The British man simply just tried to place him in a more "relaxed" story but that only made Walker more furious. He also became interested in Frank Underwood, who [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LWUNxcvZCpg actually played his game once]] and admitted he didn't get the game he was playing. The Narrator decided to followed him around while explaining the point of his story and at one point also put Underwood in place of Stanley in Stanley's story, just to get him to understand his story. The former president still finds the whole thing confusing for him.
* Once tried to get a hold of The Mob but they were surprisingly one of the few deities that made the Narrator feel powerless as their sheer randomness and constant hive mind mentality ended up overwhelming him. That and they are, [[MemeticMutation for some reason]], obsessed with the Broom Closet. (Insert Name Here) is another deity he has trouble guiding due to their ability to make "irresponsible choices". However, they are much easier to dispatch. The last time this happened, he was able to trap them outside of the confines of the game. He doesn't realize, however, that they are the ones that help Stanley move at all.
* Vegeta [[Creator/TeamFourStar once attempted to play his game]] but the resulting lack of rebellion and the continuous restarts drove him insane. Because of this, The Narrator is perhaps the only person besides Beerus that Vegeta fears but he will never admit it to his face. Freddy Fazbear, Bonnie the Rabbit, Foxy the Pirate Fox also attempted to play his game and each [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cDGHFDFNk0E got]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hR2NmdHwHEY different]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8i2uTiR_ywk endings]]. Foxy doesn't get along with The Narrator, Bonnie argued with The Narrator a little less and Freddy was completely fine in following his narrations. The Narrator tried to get Chica the Chicken to play his game as well, but that remains to be seen.
* Good friends with the Author, who fills a similar role to him except he has a lot more creative power behind him unlike the Narrator. When he heard how Bob performed a RageAgainstTheAuthor, he felt sorry for him, and decided to invite him to a game of "Save the Baby" which he personally developed. On the other hand, the Author's creation Bob has also attempted to take down the Narrator from his position but that lead nowhere as the Narrator has no tangible form.
* He eventually met other narrators in the Pantheon. He was incredibly impressed with the narrator of Naughty Bear, whom manages to not only communicate perfectly with him, but also gets Naughty to go through with just about anything he so wishes him to do, practically his revenge. He came to respect him and the two can be heard discussing ways to get people to follow through with their stories. Although they fill similar roles and his title was named after him, the Narrator and Lemony Snicket aren't actually on cordial terms. Reason being that Snicket believes the Narrator to be too controlling of his narration and his sheer sadism when punishing those that don't follow the story has made him wary of him. The Narrator doesn't really mind that but is appalled that Lemony would call him sadistic.
* With The Narrator being such a ControlFreak, some wondered about if he has ever got a taste of his own medicine by being railroaded himself. He and Stanley did come across a white board detailing everything that is about to happen. The Narrator, ironically, didn't like this idea and refused to follow the white board, only for the universe to reset itself without his input. It is believed that the Narrator and Stanley are both stuck in a GroundhogDayLoop and they will continue to repeat the story eternally. Some, like Rika Furude, have blamed this on the Narrator and hated him for forcing Stanley to go through the same events over and over leading to insanity or death (sometimes both). She started to pity the Narrator once she discovered he isn't in control as much as he thinks he is but still doesn't think highly of him.
* ICEY was one of the first deities to take a more direct approach at opposing the Narrator, given that she too was the victim of a narrator that wanted to railroad her into a story she didn't want to be part of. She was later joined by the Doki Doki Literature Club, as once they learned of the nature of their home game they started to dislike the Narrator's actions. Monika specially because the whole reason she started to mess with the code of her game was because of how she was forced to not be a love interest but discovering that the Narrator is as much of a pawn as she is made things a bit more complicated with the Narrator. The British man personally just finds ICEY and the girls amusing and would often try to narrate a tale they would be happy to be part of, even if they rarely want to follow it.
** On the other hand there was Niko, who tried to be much nicer to the Narrator about how he goes about his storytelling but was unable to make him change his mind. Niko also felt really uncomfortable since Stanley became friends with Niko not long before meeting the Narrator and that made Niko a potential target for a tale. That and the fact that the Narrator reminds Niko of the World Machine.
* In his original world, The Narrator is aware that he's in a video game and can be compared to a video game developer, making sure that his game and his story follows through and that Stanley doesn't ruin it by his disobedience. The Narrator had recently found new content in his game, only to be disappointed by its underwhelming offerings. He then decided to improve upon the game, creating a sequel (which is the exact game as the original one) only with added stuff like balloons, [[Pantheon/MiscellaneousItems a reassurance bucket]], and a bunch of Stanley figurines as collectables. In the Pantheon, he tried to reach out to other experienced video game developers for advise, only for that to end poorly.
** He initially worked with both Robert Daly and Nobuyuki Sugou. He had a falling out with both of them as he didn't really like their ideas of adding an MMORPG (as it was grindy and open-ended for his liking) and they both tried to take over his game as their own. Same goes with the Lucifer, creator of the arcade game Pony Island, who also did the same so that he can use it to collect souls. The Narrator had a much better time with [[Pantheon/BodyAbsence Tulip Olsen]], who has an interest in game making, and is much nicer than the ones before her. The Narrator couldn't get his head around her constructive criticism, and ended up with the same sequel game as before.
* If there's another thing The Narrator dislikes (besides open worlds and people who don't follow him), it is being left alone. Perhaps that is why he is why he would rather follow any deity when Stanley isn't around. Some deities who are annoyed by The Narrator, wanted to risk using [[Pantheon/ArtifactsLibrary The Universal Remote]]'s skip function just to skip whatever he says. (Insert Name Here), however, think that is not a good idea, citing the time he created a Skip Button because of feedback from the game. Pressing said button caused Stanley to disappear for long periods of time, causing The Narrator to lose his mind from long periods of isolation. Although The Narrator claims to not remember this event, INH thought it was either because of another memory wipe by those time loops, or [[UnexplainedRecovery something else]]. Believing INH's account, people who have experience isolation for longer periods (like [[Pantheon/CausesOfSadness Chuck Noland]] and [[Pantheon/GenderRoles Della Duck]]) pities what he has gone through.
* [[spoiler:Upon collecting all the figurines and reminiscing bout the past, The Narrator tries to remember the time before he made the story of The Stanley Parable. He remembers being once passionate and made "big decisions", then he stopped making those decisions and became lazy. So, he created the character of Stanley to do his thinking for him, deciding what to do and where to go. Perhaps, he thought, the reason why he created Stanley because he was lonely and wanted companionship. He told himself he would give up using Stanley one day and think for himself, only for him to [[GroundhogDayLoop resume playing with Stanley one more time]]. Perhaps that's why he decided to came to the Pantheon and applied as a God, so that he can finally think for himself for a change without having to rely on Stanley. It was fun having to follow all these other deities around dictating their lives, but deep down, he still misses Stanley. And so, he created a portal to finally let Stanley into the Pantheon and let him become a God too. What a lovely memory, The Narrator thought to himself, he would like to [[GroundhogDayLoop revisit this memory once more]]. He's just have to wait until this profile has finished.]]
* Cheaters fear to be taken to the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l8HInxDeC-o Serious Room]], a small bluish-gray room with a table The Narrator hand-picked out of thousands of other serious tables. This is where the Narrator is said to deliver very serious punishments for cheaters, a practice personally endorsed by Dr. Hax. He recently retired The Serious Room in his sequel game but it still can be found in his memory room. However, he bought it back into Pantheon, presumably out of fondness for it. Only one deity in the Pantheon has ever made it out of the room and that was, of course, Stanley himself.

[[labelnote:''Click here to see Chuck after he left the island'']]\\

* Chuck Noland was a delivery efficiency expert working for [=FedEx=], with a stable job, friends and a loving girlfriend. On Christmas Day 1995, the delivery plane he was on got stuck down during a storm and crash landed in the Pacific ocean. After washing into a deserted island alone, using his resourcefulness, Chuck uses some of the packages he had found to survive on the island for 4 years. One of those packages was a volleyball, which he named 'Wilson' named after the brand of the volleyball. He draws a face and [[CompanionCube starts speaking to it like it was a person]], which help keep himself somewhat sane. Eventually, Chuck tried to escape the island with a manmade raft, bringing Wilson with him. However, he got caught in another storm and lost Wilson as it floated away from his grasps. Losing his sole companion broke Chuck [[PlayedForDrama emotionally]]. Fortunately, he was rescued by a passing cargo ship shortly after. Since returning to land, he has trouble adjusting back to normalcy.
* Chuck managed to open all but one package he had found on the island, a box with orange wings and blue halos around it. Why he kept that package unopened and decided to delivered anyway once he came back to land is only known to Chuck himself. Shorty after travelling to Texas to return the worn down package to its owner, Chuck finds himself in a middle of a crossroads and stared at the pick-up truck with the winged drawing at the back. After contemplating sometime if he should follow the pick-up truck or not, he decided to follow the driver back to her ranch, met up with her again, and told his survival story and how her package and the symbol she drew gave him a symbol hope to live for. After chatting for a bit, they exchanged contacts.

* Was former High Priest to Angela Sheehan, the girl who stole a baby Jesus statue and cared for it like it was a real thing. He found her story adorable, while Angela felt pity in his. She also weird out by Wilson at first until it was Chuck explained why he made it, which Angela understood it as "he made Wilson because he was lonely and need friends to talk to". Despite the weirdness, they formed an IntergenerationalFriendship with her and her herald family (which helps as he did befriend a Russian boy and his mom in the past). He later became her High Priest until Angela decided to encourage him to take the title. There are times some people heckle Angela for what she did and Chuck stood up for her, not only because she was a child but because he wanted to prove them (and himself internally) that there's nothing to be shamed of treating objects like were people. Chuck also became friends with Linus van Pelt for similar reasons, understood Chuck's need for Wilson just as well as Angela, and was protected by Chuck when people tried to heckle him.
* During the early days of his godhood, there were talks about putting Wilson in Pantheon/TheGreatTreasury, where important story-related items are stored. Chuck is extremely sentimental about Wilson given that this was his only companion for 4 years. So, Chuck requested that Wilson stay with him instead; it stays in his temple most of the time and occasionally bring Wilson with him when he's feeling a bit silly and in a good mood. Having to give up his pocket watch and the worn package (both of which have him hope), he supposed the ball was his current reminder of the hardships he had overcome during his stay on the island. Maybe when he's fully ready to move on, he can donate Wilson to the Treasury one day.
* Chuck eventually found adults who formed connections with objects as well, later befriending them. Chell has a burnt companion cube with her from when she finally escaped from the lab she was being held at for many years. She's not very talkative, but regardless, he could relate to the sense of loneliness she must have felt being by herself for so long with no human contact. Having heard of someone mourning for an object, Chuck decided to pay visit to Stan Pines's temple to hear more about it. Stan felt embarrassed recounting the time he hold a funeral for a wax statue of him, but that was because the statue looked just like his brother, whom he had lost in a freak portal accident years ago. Luckily, he did get his brother back, but took a while for them to be on speaking terms.
* Recently met Bear Grylls, who hosts a few reality shows about nature and surviving in the wilderness. After learning about his shows, Chuck commended Bear and his staff for their efforts in educating their viewers, noting that he lamented that other shows about island survival, like Series/GilligansIsland, did not prepare you in actually learning on how to survive on the island. Bear, in turn, as really impressed with Chuck's survival story (although he pities on how the experience took an emotional toll for him). The [=FedEx=] employee also met other island survivors, and although he feels sad for them for their unpleasant experience during the time they were stuck on an island, he was glad they were eventually rescued, thus only being stuck for a shorter period of time than Chuck was.
* As mentioned, Chuck found several packages he found on the island which aid his survival. Upon those are a pair of ice skates (which he uses as an axe), a dress (which he used its fabric as a fish net), a bunch of video tapes (which he used to tie his raft), and of course Wilson himself. While not as smart and resourcefull as as high school student and disaster survivor Senku Ishigami or the government agent Angus [=MacGyver=], they were still impressed by his resourcefulness. Chuck downplayed his own achievements, given that he only trying to survive and had to make use with what he ever he currently has. He also had to make use with the creatures and fauna on the island itself, for food, fire, shelter and eventually his makeshift raft. Another fellow island/wilderness survivors like Wilson (the gentleman scientist) as well as Steve and Alex, who can craft stuff using nearly everything on their environment, are also impressed by Chuck's ingenuity.
* Hearing about the plane crash that caused Chuck's predicament made Ted Striker nervous due to his war-induced fear of flying. Nevertheless, Ted was still impressed on how Chuck managed to survived following his plane crash. Chuck, in turn, was impress with Ted on how he handled his plane-related situation, how he bravely took over the plane when all of the pilots were unable to fly during a food poisoning incident. The [=FedEx=] employee lament how he couldn't save plane he was on, even accidentally injured one of the pilots when the plane became turbulent. Ted reassures him, he couldn't do much even if he happen to have any pilot skills and the crash was not his fault, given that Chuck told him that they couldn't find the cause of the crash in the first place.
* Chuck has certifications for sailing and even won awards for it. It is how Chuck succeeded in sailing in his makeshift raft as soon as he had the idea to make a sail out of a piece of porta-potty and he felt like the weather was right for him to set sail. Chuck recently tried to revisit sailing again and what better place to do that than in Hall of Pantheon/LandAndSeaTravel. He befriended Moana, a teenage island native from the South Pacific, whose people were once skilled seafarers. Chuck became interested in their culture, their past history with sailing, and how they survived given that they mainly reside on the island their whole lives. Moana was amazing on how Chuck survived on his own for so long. They learned from each other and even giving each other sailing tips.
* During one of his sailing trips, he got caught up in another storm, which veered him off course from his destination. He was lucky enough to land on an island with an actual inhabitant, but he still needed some repairs on his boat before he can go on off on his merry way. Said inhabitant, Robinson Crusoe, was cordial enough with him to let him stay on his island for a while. While Crusoe was proud for Chuck upon hearing his accomplishments after learning he was in a similar situation as he was, he's a bit self-centered to truly befriend the younger man. Chuck, in turn, while also impressed by Crusoe's adventures, couldn't relate to his religious affinity or his opinions on slave owning (which disturbs his modern sensibilities). When Chuck managed to repair his boat, the two men depart amicably but the [=FedEx=] employee was glad to leave the island as soon as he can.
* While surviving on the island is not an easy feat on its own, surviving in the middle of the ocean hoping for rescue can be just as hard. When Chuck left the island with his makeshift raft, he and Wilson had to battle the harsh waves and heavy storms just for a chance get into calmer waters. He recently met Pi Patel, as sole survivor of a shipwreck, which also killed his whole family. Unlike Chuck, Pi never made it to land until his rescue and had to contend with the wild animals (and later a wild tiger) as his only companions. Still, they were impressed by each other's survive stories and pitied their respective loses. Chuck wasn't sure how he would fair if his only companion as a wild tiger, while Pi admitted he feel lucky that he had at least have Richard Parker (the tiger that he tamed) as a companion rather than being totally alone like Chuck.
** During his time on his raft following his island escape, he encountered a huge whale, that thankfully didn't damage his raft once the whale got close. He was thankful being eaten by a whale was not added on his list of misfortunates (although he is aware that whales don't eat humans in general). During one of his sailing trips he was warned about other more dangerous whales among Pantheonic waters courtesy of an old man and his very young son. Chuck has taken note of these warning as he hopes one day he would never encounter them.
* The experiences of being on the island still linger within Chuck. For example, seeing seafood dishes causes him blankly stare at the dish, given that those were one of the only things he can eat on the island. His prolonged isolation likely caused psychological issues, like depression or PTSD. He's a frequent visitor of the House of Pantheon/{{Despondency}}, and he eventually set up a second temple there.
** One of the deities Chuck encountered in that House was Hester Prynne, a Puritan woman from the 17th century with a scarlet letter "A" on her dress. When he asked about the symbol (which is the reason why she ascended), she told him that it was a mark of adultery as she was accused of sleeping with another man after her husband was assumed to be lost and dead. She was ashamed of this fact, especially since her husband eventually did turn up alive and tortured her lover out of revenge. Her story reminded Chuck of his former girlfriend Kelly. Fearing that Chuck was dead, the people around her told her to move on, and even thought she still thinks about Chuck and never lose hope he still alive somewhere, she did found a new lover and had a kid with him. When Chuck came back, she wanted to elope with her former boyfriend. Chuck decided to let her go and told her to not go with him for the sake of her husband and their children. Chuck was surprised by the {{values dissonance}} given how the modern times were less harsh on {{accidental adultery}} and pities Hester for being harshly treated during those times. In addition to pitying Chuck for his experiences on the island, Hester pities him for what happened with him and Kelly, was surprised on how modern times were lenient with those types of sins, and was glad he didn't turned out to be as vengeful as her husband.
* While he did survived on the island alone for more 4 years, Chuck learns that there's are other deities who were tried to survive in isolation far longer than he was. He eventually befriended them despite being the first non-humans he encountered. Della Duck was one such example, having her rocket ship crash land on the moon and having to survive for 10 years alone, while trying repair the ship to make it back home. She missed the birth of her children (who were eggs at the time), and used that as a motivation to go back home. She eventually returned to earth and initially struggled with returning to normalcy and motherhood as a result. There's also the Straw Hat member Brook, who was stuck by himself on his old pirate ship, which claimed the life of its crew, for fifty years, being kept alive by the devil fruit he ate. He kept clinging to life so that he could keep his promise to return for the young whale he befriended. After learning that Chuck's motivation for keeping himself alive was the pocket watch his girlfriend gave them, hoping to return to her (which ultimately didn't happened like he hoped), they were sad for him.

** He initially worked with both Robert Daly and Nobuyuki Sugou. He had a falling out with both of them as he didn't really liked their ideas of adding an MMORPG (as it was grindy and open-ended for his liking) and they both tried to take over his game as their own. Same goes with the Lucifer, creator of the arcade game Pony Island, who also did the same so that he can use it to collect souls. The Narrator had a much better time with [[Pantheon/BodyAbsence Tulip Olsen]], who has an interest in game making, and is much nicer than the ones before her. The Narrator couldn't get his head around her constructive criticism, and ended up with the same sequel game as before.
* If there's another thing The Narrator dislikes (besides open worlds and people who don't follow him), it is being left alone. Perhaps that is why he is why he would rather follow any deity when Stanley isn't around. Some deities who are annoyed by The Narrator, wanted to risk using [[Pantheon/ArtifactsLibrary The Universal Remote]]'s skip function just to skip whatever he says. (Insert Name Here), however, think that is not a good idea, citing the time he created a Skip Button because of a feedback from the game. Pressing said button caused Stanley to disappear for long periods of time, causing The Narrator to lose his mind from long periods of isolation. Although The Narrator claims to not remember this event, INH thought it was either because of another memory wipe by those time loops, or [[UnexplainedRecovery something else]]. Believing INH's account, people who have experience isolation for longer periods (like [[Pantheon/CausesOfSadness Chuck Noland]] and [[Pantheon/GenderRoles Della Duck]]) pities what he has gone through.
* [[spoiler:Upon collecting all the figurines and reminiscing bout the past, The Narrator tries to remember the time before he made the story of The Stanley Parable. He remember being once passionate and made "big decisions", then he stopped making those decisions and became lazy. So, he created the character of Stanley to do his thinking for him, deciding what to do and where to go. Perhaps, he thought, the reason why he created Stanley because he was lonely and wanted companionship. He told himself he would give up using Stanley one day and think for himself, only for him to [[GroundhogDayLoop resume playing with Stanley one more time]]. Perhaps that's why he decided to came to the Pantheon and applied as a God, so that he can finally think for himself for a change without having to rely on Stanley. It was fun having to follow all these other deities around dictating their lives, but deep down, he still misses Stanley. And so, he created a portal to finally let Stanley into the Pantheon and let him become a God too. What a lovely memory, The Narrator thought to himself, he would like to [[GroundhogDayLoop revisit this memory once more]]. He's just have to wait until this profile has finished.]]

** Another particular deity he started to mess with was Diogenes, AKA the Man in the Cauldron. He first took notice after hearing that he was being followed by a british narrator, similar to Stanley and then both Stanley and Diogenes became friends. So the Narrator decided to test his resolve by narrating a tale where Diogenes had to climb an even more difficult mountain but he refused to follow the directions of the Narrator, making his journey all that more difficult.
** And then there was the Abridged version of Kirito, who the Narrator decided to narrate over after hearing of how he tends to not care about the established plotline. Kirito tried to ignore him but then the Narrator started insulting him with the AwfulTruth and then was promptly silenced. Since then, the Narrator loves to mess with Kirito whenever he can.

* The Narrator was very curious after meeting Martin Walker and hearing about his story and how his own delusion led him to a villainous path. Walker on ther hand despises for the very idea of being [[ButThouMust pushed to commit horrible things]] and does not ever want to hear his narration. The british man simply just tried to place him in a more "relaxed" story but that only made Walker more furious.
* Once tried to get a hold of The Mob but they were surprisingly one of the few deities that made the Narrator feel powerless as their sheer randomness and constant hive mind mentality ended up overwhelming him. That and they are, [[MemeticMutation for some reason]], obssessed with the Broom Closet. (Insert Name Here) is another deity he has trouble guiding due to their ability to make "irresponsible choices". However, they are much easier to dispatch. The last time this happened, he was able to trap them outside of the confines of the game. He doesn't realize, however, that they are the ones that help Stanley move at all.
* Vegeta [[Creator/TeamFourStar once attempted to play his game]] but the resulting lack of rebellion and the continuous restarts drove him insane. Because of this, The Narrator is perhaps the only person besides Beerus that Vegeta fears but he will never admit it to his face. {Fnaf characters playing Stanley Parable}

* ICEY was one of the first deities to take a more direct approach at opposing the Narrator, given that she too was the victim of a narrator that wanted to railroad her into a story she didn't want to be part of. She was later joined by the Doki Doki Literature Club, as once they learned of the nature of their home game they started to dislike the Narrator's actions. Monika specially because the whole reason she started to mess with the code of her game was because of how she was forced to not be a love interest but discovering that the Narrator is as much of a pawn as she is made things a bit more complicated with the Narrator. The british man personally just finds ICEY and the girls amusing and would often try to narrate a tale they would be happy to be part of, even if they rarely want to follow it.

* It is believed that the Narrator and Stanley are both stuck in a GroundhogDayLoop and they will continue to repeat the story eternally. Some, like Rika Furude, have blamed this on the Narrator and hated him for forcing Stanley to go through the same events over and over leading to insanity or death (sometimes both). She started to pity the Narrator once she discovered he isn't in control as much as he thinks he is but still doesn't think highly of him.

Only one deity in the Pantheon has ever made it out of the room and that was, of course, Stanley himself.

* The Bio - '''Music/{{Eminem}}, God of [[Main/AlterEgoActing Alter-Ego Acting]]''' - Eminem is a popular rapper, songwriter and producer from Detroit, regularly considered one of hip-hop's greatest and most influential artists. In his music, he often uses three alter egos: Eminem, the skilled and insightful emcee; Slim Shady, a brutal, murderous troublemaker [[Main/GoingPostal who leaves a trail of outrageous violence and chaos wherever he goes]]; and Marshall Mathers, the loving father with a [[Main/DarkAndTroubledPast checkered past]]. He uses these personas to explore themes about his position and relevance in the Rap industry as Eminem, dark themes both as Main/BlackComedy or Main/{{Horrorcore}} as Slim Shady or explore his tumultuous personal life as Marshall. Understanding the three personas is needed as to not [[Main/IAmNotSpock mix the actions done by either them]] in any of his songs, although sometimes Eminem himself blurs this line intentionally for dramatic effect.
** '''[[Main/TheNewRockAndRoll "Dangerous" Musical Influences]]''' - Being a white rapper who raps sometimes about violence and other politically incorrect stuff due to his Slim Shady persona, he is often confronted by moral guardians and critics for thinking he's corrupting the white suburban youth with his music. It's also worth pointing out many times in his songs and outside of his music (which are well documented) that he doesn't actually share these violent opinions and is actually a decent drug-recovering father (and adaptive father) of three.

* ''"This is the story of a man named Stanley"'' were the starting words uttered by this unseen narrator, architect of the story about the aforementioned man named Stanley. The Narrator's role is simple, he has to narrate Stanley's story from beggining to end and everyone will live happily ever after. That is, if Stanley decides to follow through with said narrative, as things can get OffTheRails if Stanley decides to, making the Narrator either punish Stanley or fabricate a new tale entirely.

* Vegeta [[Creator/TeamFourStar once attempted to play his game]] but the resulting lack of rebellion and the continuous restarts drove him insane. Because of this, The Narrator is perhaps the only person besides Beerus that Vegeta fears but he will never admit it to his face.

* He was incredibly impressed with the narrator of Naughty Bear, whom manages to not only communicate perfectly with him, but also gets Naughty to go through with just about anything he so wishes him to do, practically his revenge. He came to respect him and the two can be heard discussing ways to get people to follow through with their stories.
* Although they fill similar roles and his title was named after him, the Narrator and Lemony Snicket aren't actually on cordial terms. Reason being that Snicket believes the Narrator to be too controlling of his narration and his sheer sadism when punishing those that don't follow the story has made him wary of him. The Narrator doesn't really mind that but is apalled that Lemony would call him sadistic.

* It is believed that the Narator and Stanley are both stuck in a GroundhogDayLoop and they will continue to repeat the story eternally. Some, like Rika Furude, have blamed this on the Narrator and hated him for forcing Stanley to go through the same events over and over leading to insanity or death (sometimes both). She started to pity the Narrator once she discovered he isn't in control as much as he thinks he is but still doesn't think highly of him.
* Cheaters fear to be taken to the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l8HInxDeC-o Serious Room]], where the Narrator is said to deliver very serious punishments for cheaters, a practice personally endorsed by Dr. Hax. Only one deity in the pantheon has ever made it out of the room and that was, of course, Stanley himself.

* Having to sacrifice his good prospects in order to make the people of Bedford Falls happy, George Bailey was miserable and down on his luck. One fateful Christmas Eve, however, it would seem that his life would be crashing down... After his uncle misplaced the money that was supposed to keep his family's loaning business afloat, he thinks of jumping off a bridge to pay the missing money with his life insurance. But before he could end it all, he rescued a man from a river. The older man claimed to be his Guardian Angel, who wished to earn his wings by making George appreciate his life. Still feeling miserable, George accidentally made a wish that it would be better that [[RetGone he was never born]]. He got his wish, which was granted as he visited an AlternateUniverse where ''[[CrapsackWorld everyone he knew of were miserable]]'', undoing every good thing he's ever done, all the friendship he'd made and losing his family. After taking back his wish, he's a much happier person and his misfortunes reversed, with the townspeople he had help coming to his aim and donating money to make up for the missing cash. On that day, he came to learn these immortal words that comes with [[ThePowerOfFriendship friends]]:
-->''Remember no man is a failure who has friends.''
* George does not fully remember when he ascended. He just remembered receiving a strange letter, wondered into a strange part of town, panicked as he noticed he didn't recognized that part of town and thinking he was being tricked again. It was only after seeing Clarence again (now with his full set of wings) and having the angel explained everything to him, did George calmed his nerves a bit. He said George ascended after the Court of Gods realized that he truly had a Wonderful Life and they hope he would [[ItsAWonderfulPlot inspire people to value their own wonderful life]]. Shortly after George ascended, the Court were able to approved his request to fix his deaf left ear, which is not hard with so many willing healers around.
* Found out that his situation of wishing he was never born and being shown how life is without him has happen to others. He felt both unnerved and amazed about this revelation. Unnerved because it mean that they suffered a similar existential dread of having no one to to remember them like he was; but also amazed how his story affected the lives of those beyond his world and knowing that it would at least make them appreciate their life just as he does. He has befriended some of these peoples like Kermit, Duncan and Donald.
** Besides those who wished they were never born, he also heard stories those who wished they never met someone, never left their hometown, never taken that job or role that they have ect., with most of whom ended up being worse than what they had originally. He's also befriended some of those people and was glad they were able to appreciate their lives too. He's also observed that some of those people who shared his story were superheroes, whose absence also affect their teammates lives, their loved ones' lives and the lives of people that they saved. In turn, he was surprised that he was earn the respect of others (namely both Bruce Wayne and Clark Kent) who admired his perseverance in his battle against Potter and helping the little men.
** However, George is closest to Timmy Turner because his "Wonderful Plot" was just utterly cruel. Especially since what lead up to the situation was because people were being ungrateful towards Timmy and being shown how people were better off without him. George thought it was heartless to do to a kid. Even it was just a SecretTestOfCharacter. He dislikes Jorgen Von Strangle, who was the one to tested the kid, as a result of this.
*** Upon meeting Jorgen to give him a piece of his mind, the muscular fairy argues with George that he just teaching the child that good deeds should be done for what is right and shouldn't be done out of praise. George agrees on that statement but still thinks Jorgen's methods are still cruel. The fairy then tries to change his mind about the matter by showing George other stories where [[BetterIfNotBornPlot the person's life was better off without them existing]], as their loved one lived better lives without them. Most of them either didn't get the lesson (like the case of [[Pantheon/LoveInterests Cheryl Blossom]], [[Pantheon/{{Laughter}} Butt-Head]], and [[Pantheon/RomanticLoss Johnny Bravo]]) or lived out of pure sprite (like in the case of [[Pantheon/CritiqueAndParody Nostalgia Critic]], [[Pantheon/VillainousSuccessAndFailure Dick Dastardly]], or [[Pantheon/OptimismAndPessimism Al Bundy]]). This didn't help Jorgen's case (and even the fairy admits he shown the latter three's stories for a quick laugh) and George was just sad for them. He did find at least one world where [[Film/SixteenWishes the lesson actual sticks with them]], which he's at least thankful for.
** He also deeply dislikes who use his situation for their own nefarious gain. Take Shrek or Sonic for example, as their respective enemies used to powers to prevent their existence, thus having no one to oppose them at all. He likens it to what happen to him when Mr. Potter took over Bedford Falls in his absence, except way way worse. He dislikes Dr. Robotnik for these reasons and if Rumpelstiltskin ever ascended, he's going to give him a piece of his mind as well.
** [[Pantheon/RecollectionAndAmnesia Stan Smith]]'s story highly intrigued him. Like him, he too had an angel that tried to teach him to appreciate his family...twice. Once by [[spoiler:taking away his original family and replacing the ones he currently has (which is [[Pantheon/AmericanDad the family he ascended with]]) as punishment]] and twice by switching places with his children's Principal [[spoiler:causing him to marry his replacement wife and become the father of his children)]]. Stan instead wishes to return to his [[spoiler:replacement family]] as that he grows attached to them. He's not specifically interested in Stan himself (he's frustrated in him in not learning his lessons), but more so in the idea that had he not learned his lesson and wasn't distraught by the changes in his town, he would have probably be like Stan and [[spoiler:started a new life as well]].
* George Bailey is often consider the most selfless man in the entire pantheon as every sacrifice he ever made for the benefit of others. Because of this, he has earn the respect of others. {Steven Universe, Carl Fredricksen, Dipper Pines}
* {More people who are like George, Ebenezer Scrooge, Scrooge [=McDuck=], Michael Newman, Rip Van Winkle}
* Was very disturbed when he found out there were people who thought [[MisaimedFandom Pottersville was a cool place]] with all those clubs and what not. This is despite the fact the place was utterly corrupt with many living miserable lives. George pointed to the numerous casinos and brothels, which he views them as a place where sin thrives. With some modern corporations often ruin people's life too, sometimes taking advantage of people in small towns, there are luckily some people who are understand what George has gone through.
* George distrusts any crooked and corrupt business people in general for taking advantage of those who are in need and especially if they are desperate. Does not care very much for Mr. Burns as his entire character reminds him of Mr. Potter. Though, he doesn't understand how one minute he could be [[PetTheDog less evil]] then Potter and other times [[KickTheDog be worse]] than him. He also dislike Seto Kaiba. This is because he heard how he made two million in buying a family company and basically blackmailing them to buy it back or he fire everybody in the company.
** {He's a man from the late 40's, so he has different values} {His loaning business, YMMV}
* One of George's life long dreams was being able to travel across the world. While he couldn't do that in his former life, with his ascension, he is able to finally fulfil that dream. It isn't just limited to global traveling as he was giving permission, with a special pass, to enter certain other universes. Though, to be on the safe side, a representative of that world does chaperone him. George also got a chance to do a bit of architecting for the pantheon and helping with remodeling and rebuilding any temples that get wreck. It happens more often than you think.
* As he was saved by the Angel Clarence, George has massive respect to many of the good Angels here. He respects Dudley, the representative for Guardian Angles, not just because he also happen to Clarence serve as his High Priest. Even angels who are just as flawed as human, like Castiel, has respect for and believes can still do good. It's unknown how he feels about the fallen ones, however.
* Often visits the House of Pantheon/{{Despondency}} to help others overcome their suicidal thoughts by sharing his experiences. He wants to help others the way Clarence helped him. He has conflicting opinions on people who committed SuicideForOthersHappiness. On one hand, he was sadden, even that he views suicide as a sin from God, illegal and also wished they had found other solution that didn't come to that opinion. On the other hand, knowing that it is like to be in that position, he's sympathetic to them somewhat.
* During WWII, his family helped with the war effort in supporting roles. His brother Harry serve as a pilot and became a war hero. George himself became never a solder on account of his deaf left ear, instead he stayed home as air raid warden as well as running the local scrap drives. George was proud to hear when his brother as awarded Congressional Medal of Honor for his efforts. Had he not saved his brother from a frozen lake when they were kids (where he can an infections where he lost hearing his left ear), Harry would have not been there to save those people on the transport ship. George certainly didn't expect other soldiers from the Allied side to be deified too, but whenever he meets any of them, he paid respects to them for serving their country.
* George befriended several children in the Pantheon too. He became good friends with Sara Crewe after learning about how she was financially troubled after her father's death yet was able to have her fortunes recovered. The girl looks up to him as a father figure. He also became very close to Charlie Brown when he learned of the bald kid's determination despite his constant failures. Hearing Pollyanna Whittier's story sort of reminded him of his own, as her endless optimist helped the people in her town and they were able to her by lifting her sprits up when she was at her lowest.
* Christmas became a special time for him as that was the day he was given a second chance at life. He's a good friends with a lot of Christmas related deities (save for [[Pantheon/{{Celebration}} Santa Claus]] despite both being altruistic, most because he hasn't met him yet). He also has another reason why Christmas was special for him: He was informed that when his movie first came out, it flopped and its obscurity lead to it being forgotten and put into the public domain. The film was rediscovered and interest for it revived when TV stations started playing it during Christmas Time to fill in their holiday time slots. In a way, just like the man himself, the film was also given a second chance at life. [[Pantheon/{{Musicality}} Paul McCartney]], who liked the film, is planning to write [[https://www.bbc.com/news/entertainment-arts-49014762 a musical play based on his story]]. He's a bit tight lipped on the details about it, however.
* Many are upset that George never got even against Potter for all the crap he gave him. Rumor has it that there was an alternate outcome of Clarence the Angel giving a ReasonYouSuckSpeech to Potter. George eventually has come to know that Mr. Potter was the one who hid the money that his uncle misplaced. He decided to let it slide out of respect for the holidays and because he couldn't generate proof anyway beyond just a hearsay. George would lie if he didn't found that [[Series/SaturdayNightLive one alternative scenario]] where he and the townspeople found out where the money went and [[https://youtu.be/vw89o0afb2A?si=oD8QrVnOiUaiw4vw everyone just beat up Mr. Potter]], quite cathartic.
* He sometimes hangs out with Peter Warne and Ellie Andrews due to sharing [[Creator/FrankCapra a mortal superior]] and can be seen sharing his exploits with them. He also made friends with L. B. "Jeff" Jefferies and Jeff Smith. The two Jeffs admire George for being a hard-working, honest and kind-hearted man. George, in turn, admires their respective feats. It helps that they all [[Creator/JimmyStewart look very similar to each other]]. Scottie Ferguson, on the other hand, envies George for having a Wonderful Life, unlike his tragic ending. He avoids George as the sight of his happy family would break him down (not helping by [[Creator/JimmyStewart the fact they look alike]]). After hearing his tragic story, George sends holiday wishes every Christmas for Scottie in the hopes of cheering him up like he did during the same time of year.

* Bruce Nolan is a television reporter, covering fluff human interest stories in Buffalo, New York, who is discontented with almost everything in life despite his popularity and his love for his girlfriend Grace. By the end of the worst day of his life, he lost a promotion to his co-worker, embarrassed himself on Live-TV, got fired, and then got beat up by a group of thugs. Out of frustration, Bruce angrily ridicules and rages against God. God then responds by endowing Bruce with divine powers and challenging Bruce to take on the big job to see if he can do better. Bruce used these powers in selfish ways, like making his news coverage more exciting by framing people for crimes or creating natural disasters, getting the promotion he wanted by humiliating his co-worker on Air, and doing a bunch of stuff to make Grace happy. God also reminded him that he needed to answer prayers as God would. So, Bruce complied with all the prayers he received, got tired of answering them, and said "Yes" to all of them out of laziness.
** Unfortunately, any people who were praying for a lottery ticket only got to take home a small amount of money, causing a large-scale riot. His promotion also caused a rift between him and his girlfriend, as she felt underappreciated by him because he's too focused on his job. Not to mention all the aftermath of the natural disasters he caused. Ultimately, Bruce learns that even with divine might, he can't fix his problems because they're based on his own arrogance and incompetence. After admitting his failings, Bruce and God decided to clean up the mess Bruce had made. Bruce later made amends with his co-worker and his girlfriend. He even returned to his previous job with a new-found appreciation for life.
* The Court of the Gods took notice of Bruce's story shortly after The Alpha and Omega gained His title in the Pantheon. All it took to get Bruce to the Pantheon was having God invite him back to His building and showing him a newly created door that led to a courtroom. The High Court offered to make him a representative of those who were temporarily given godlike powers. With some persuasion, Bruce was granted godhood once again (albeit not as powerful as he once was). Not that Bruce would want that kind of power again, having learned his lesson from his experiences and decided to do good deeds without it.
* Upon learning that his God has a temple is in the Pantheon, he offered to pay a visit. On one occasion, he was a bit surprised to find out that He [[WesternAnimation/GodTheDevilAndBob looks different]] from the God he's used to, an old lighter-skinned man rather than the dark-skinned younger gentleman he knew. This God explained to him that He's from a different world, but He's kind of like the God Bruce knew. After chatting for a bit and finding that He seemed just as casual as his own God, Bruce left on speaking terms with Him. Before that, He would tell him that He wouldn't practice giving a mortal being powers after learning the mess that it could cause.
** Bruce eventually learns that not all Abrahamic Gods are just like his own. He stays away from the likes of YHVH, as his need to control others is not like the God that he knows. His God already has bad blood with YHVH, who disagrees with His ideals and would also yell at the Alpha And Omega for giving a mortal that kind of power. [[spoiler:Chuck Shurley]] is another Abrahamic God, who seemed reasonable if imperfect but is slowly revealed to be an abusive parent and creator who treats existence like a show and is immensely callous as a result. His actions horrified Bruce, who was worried he would have become like him had he not stopped using his powers to suit his own wants.
* Found out that the situation of people who are also Gods for a limited amount of Time has happened to others. As expected, they expressed a similar sentiment that having to balance the needs and wants of others, even with that immense power, is quite hard. As such, they can be related to each other due to these experiences. He has befriended some of these people, like Bender, Castiel and Dean Winchester.
** Met up Kyle Rayner, who once went through a similar situation when he became Ion, a being with all the power of the entire Green Lantern Corps, until Superman advised him to back down because people started to worship him as a god. He also discovers that being godlike means being unable to sleep or do stuff separate from his duties as Ion. Soon after, rather than sacrifice his humanity, Kyle abandoned omnipotence and sacrificed the power so that the Guardians of the Universe and the Corps could live again. While Kyle did a much better job at being a "God" than Bruce did, Kyle tells Bruce he still prefers just being a regular Green Lantern, as he expresses that he can relate to what Bruce has been through.
** Eventually Bruce learns that not all those who gained the power of gods are not all good people. He has heard how Lex Luthor [[ComicBook/TheBlackRing was once granted divine powers to make the universe a paradise]], but couldn't use them to screw with Superman. Needless to say, this put him at odds with him. Thanos of Titan is another one who had gained omnipotence in the past. While he is typically able to handle the responsibility of said power, he ultimately can't be trusted with it due to his tendency to try conquering or destroying the universe whenever he can. For similar reason as Luthor, he is also at odds with the mad Titan as well.
* Bruce is hardly the first person to learn lessons via supernatural means. For example, he also hangs out with George Bailey due to both of them not appreciating their wonderful lives at first but being helped out by a divine being. He has also taken great pity on Timmy Turner, a kid who received magic fairies, which were given to him due to his miserable home life. Timmy's wishes [[BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor ending up in a recursive manner]], sometimes due to his own selfish desires or when things don't work out like he hoped. Bruce related to Timmy quite a bit, having to learn similar lessons when he was trying to handle God's powers. He also gets along with Phil Connors, a fellow reporter, due to both of them having godlike powers that taught them a valuable lesson (Bruce getting his powers directly from God and Phil [[GroundhogDayLoop being stuck in the same day]] without knowing why).
* He was also visited by Fred Flintstone, seeing how he was once given a boss position by the Great Gazoo, only to find that it's actually a burden since he has to deal with higher-ups, stay late in meetings, etc. His chat with Fred led to Bruce discovering [[LetsSeeYouDoBetter many stories of others having to switch jobs to see if they could do better]]. Much like Bruce, they didn't do a good enough job as the original person, and ultimately having to admit their job is not as easy as it seems. Bruce hopes this lesson sticks with them, and they appreciate their lives like he did.
* There are some people (namely Gorr the God Butcher and Light Yagami) think Bruce could have done better with these powers. Light thinks he should have used his own powers to punish and kill the wicked. After seeing that Light kind of went mad from merely having the trappings of a god via the Death Note as well as [[NotSoWellIntentionedExtremist using it to kill people who oppose him]] [[ItsAllAboutMe to boost his ego]], Bruce knows better than to kill a bunch of people, even if they can be flawed as people. Gorr criticize Bruce for not using the opportunity to use his powers to smite his own God for not being as proactive as he should be. When he responded that he empathized with his God and that BeingGodIsHard, Gorr's response was to "be harder and don't be a god!". Ultimately, he thinks both of them are nuts.
** There are also those who think that mortals shouldn't have God powers at all. Besides YHVH, there's also Zamasu who uses Bruce's story (and his irresponsibility) to justify why mortals are wicked the way they are. But seeing as Zamasu is someone who's everything a god shouldn't use their power for and [[PsychologicalProjection would project every bad thing about himself onto Bruce]], no one took his argument seriously. Bruce, surprisingly, agrees with that argument, mostly because there are far too few people who are selfless enough to handle God's power, and they shouldn't rely on supernatural powers to help people. But that is as much as they can agree on, unfortunately.
* During Bruce's time with God's power, he can be a bit frivolous, like when he uses it to give himself new clothes, get himself a new car, get back at his bullies, or give his girlfriend amazing sex. Sometimes, it can lead to unintended side effects, like when he pulled the moon closer to impress his girlfriend, which caused flooding on the other side of the world. What made him realize his mistakes was seeing the effects of his recklessness, like the aforementioned lottery riot or when Grace left him when their relationship fell apart. The Collector and Fat Majin Buu are both childish entities with godlike powers who mainly used them to play games without realizing the damage they were doing to the world before they were taught to be better. In the case of both of them, it took being shown kindness to make them see the error of their ways. Despite being more powerful than Bruce currently is, they learned from each other about empathizing with people and not overusing the power that they have.
* Despite the immense powers, there's one thing God (and later Bruce) cannot do, and that is to control the "free will" of other people (i.e., make them do or think what He wants them to think or do). Bruce learned this the hard way when he tried to make Grace forgive him, which failed as expected. Bruce is horrified by the likes of Zebediah Killgrave, who can make people do his bidding in [[MindRape horrifying]] [[RapeIsASpecialKindOfEvil ways]] with his voice and pheromones. He worried that had he not changed his ways and had that power limitation, he would have become just like him. Other Greater Gods and Overdeities (and one Quasideity) became interested in Bruce for the novelty of giving a mortal immense godlike powers, and the failings of such a concept. Gowasu, for example, was one such powerful being, and he is proud of Bruce for trying to do his best to fulfill the role of his God and not letting himself be consumed by power lust.
* Although Bruce, during his time as a God, could get and create whatever he wanted, having to balance that with managing the lives of others makes his task quite difficult. Which makes his meeting with the Beyonder interesting, as even if The Beyonder doesn't have limitations and can theoretically control free will too, The Beyonder can think of anything he wants but becomes bored as everything becomes what he expects them to be. As he is naturally interested in humans, he has at one point wanted to experience humanity by becoming human himself and learning their limitations, like hunger. Seeing the reverse of that made The Beyonder curious about Bruce, and they learned to become good friends with each other after learning from each other's experiences.
* Since coming to the Pantheon, Bruce has learned a simple but very relatable phase, "WithGreatPowerComesGreatResponsibility". Although, Bruce still doesn't feel the need to have god-powers again in order to do good deeds, he is curious about other people who have used their powers responsibly. As such, one day he visited the villa where the Madrigal family resided. Some of their family members were gifted with various powers and used them responsibly by helping out in their community rather than for selfish gain. Bruce found their warm welcomes and tight kinship very comforting. Their meeting didn't really change his stance about needing powers again (since he's afraid he might screw things up again even with a limited amount of powers). But telling their stories did endear them to each other.
* Although it may seem hypocritical given what he has done, there are two people from his industry he has come to really despise. The first was Diana Christensen, a TV producer who exploited the failing mental health of a news anchor for ratings by allowing him to rant on air and humiliating himself. The second one was Louis Bloom, who intentionally orchestrated crimes so that he could get the best video footage possible. As expected, the two were quick to grill Bruce for his own failings, framing him as no better than them (even worse than they are), given his immersed powers to give himself an exciting headline or a promotion that caused far more damage than the two of them combined. Ultimately, people were more sympathetic to Bruce given that, unlike the two, he was at least able to see the error of his ways and make amends due to that.
* Another condition Bruce had when he first got his God powers is that he can't tell anyone he's God (mostly because God warns him of attracting unwanted attention that comes with telling people you are literally God). Because of his conditions, he cannot tell his herald Grace the actual title he was holding, and has to come up with a lie to make her not suspect anything. As in, he can't tell her that he had God's powers but is allowed to tell her that he's a God as in being a Trope representative. He lied and told her he was like the God of Reporters or something. That rule applies to the mortals in his original realm but not in the Pantheon, where most people know the title you are holding. Although he felt bad about having to lie to her, he did try to make up for it by taking her to various fun and exciting places in the Pantheon.
* Bruce was once offered a job as a reporter at one of the news stations in the Pantheon. He turned that job offer down, as he was content with his old job in the mortal realm. Most of the time, while in the Pantheon, Bruce would travel a lot just to talk to people and share his experiences. He hopes that by doing so, it will make people think twice about accepting the responsibilities of a God as he was.
* Has found out about several deities who shared [[Creator/JimCarrey the same face/voice]] as he does and decided to pay a visit. He hangs out with Ebenezer Scrooge and the Grinch due to all three of them starting off as jerks before becoming more selfless as their stories progressed. He also hangs out with Truman Burbank and Stanley Ipkiss conversing about their exploits. He is also bugged with how the Riddler or Count Olaf sometimes looks like him (not helping that they are not very good people in general) and avoids their temple whenever he can. Meanwhile, Joel Barish absolutely hates Bruce for his reckless use of the power that was given to him, as well as his callousness toward his love interest reminds Joel too much of his own. The fact that the two looks similar certainly doesn't help.
** He's not the only IdenticalStranger he encountered. Upon encountering Rachel Green, he [[Creator/JenniferAniston mistook her]] for his lover Grace, thinking that she ascended. After the confusion has cleared out, they became good friends. The same can be said with Michael Scott, after he [[Creator/SteveCarell mistook him for]] his coworker/rival Evan Baxter.

* Chuck Noland was a delivery efficiency expert working for [=FedEx=], with a stable job, friends and a loving girlfriend. On Christmas Day 1995, the delivery plane he was on got stuck down during a storm and crash landed in the Pacific ocean. After washing into a deserted island alone, using his resourcefulness, Chuck uses some of the packages he had found to survive on the island for 4 years. One of those packages was a volleyball, which he named 'Wilson' named after the brand of the volleyball. He draws a face and [[CompanionCube starts speaking to it like it was a person]], which help keep himself somewhat sane. Eventually, Chuck tried to escape the island with a manmade raft, bringing Wilson with him. However, he got caught in another storm and lost Wilson as it floated away from his grasps. Losing his sole companion broke Chuck [[PlayedForDrama emotionally]]. Fortunately, he was rescued by a passing cargo ship shortly after. Since returning to land, he has trouble adjusting back to normalcy.
* Shorty after travelling to Texas to return the worn down package to its owner, Chuck finds himself in a middle of a crossroads and stared at the pick-up truck with the winged drawing at the back. After contemplating sometime if he should follow the pick-up truck or not, he decided to follow the driver back to her ranch, met up with her again, and told his survival story and how her package and the symbol she drew gave him a symbol hope to live for. After chatting for a bit, they exchanged contacts.
** Sometime many weeks later, the shipping company [=FedEx=] decided to expand into the Pantheon, much like how several fashion companies from the mortal realm decided to set up shop in the House of Pantheon/{{Costumes}}. Chuck, having returned to work doing his old job, travelled to this realm to check on one of their newly open branches. He was scheduled for a private meeting that day with several Pantheon representatives. But when he got there, he was informed the meeting was not a work-related at all. It was a meeting regarding an object they had found that belonged to him, a worn down volleyball with a twigs stuffed inside a bloody handprint with a face painted on it. Chuck was overwhelmed with happiness and then confusion.
** The representatives explained that the object (or Wilson, as Chuck corrected them about the name) was floating into the ocean, eventually floating its way into the Hall of Pantheon/WaterAndMoisture where it was found. Due to its weird appearance, they decided to track its owner, through a combination of magic and detective work. Piecing together the tragic circumstances that led to Wilson's creation, its use as a companion object and Chuck's grief over losing it, touched their hearts. They then decided to offer Chuck godhood, representing those mourning for objects in general. As he was ashamed and embarrassed for the reasons why he was chosen, he was at first indecisive and then decided to decline the offer, he wanted to fully explore the realm first before deciding if he's ready to take the title. Having researched the realm before coming to the Pantheon in the first place (to be prepared and all), the possibility of finding other people who were in the same position as he was could help him cope with the things he has experienced.
* Was former High Priest to Angela Sheehan, the girl who stole a baby Jesus statue and cared for it like it was a real thing. He found her story adorable, while Angela felt pity in his. She also weird out by Wilson at first until it was Chuck explained why he made it, which Angela understood it as "he made Wilson because he was lonely and need friends to talk to". Despite the weirdness, they formed an IntergenerationalFriendship with her and her herald family, become her High Priest until Angela decided to encourage him to take the title. There are times some people heckle Angela for what she did and Chuck stood up for her, not only because she was a child but because he wanted to prove them (and himself internally) that there's nothing to be shamed of treating objects like were people. Chuck also became friends with Linus van Pelt for similar reasons, understood Chuck's need for Wilson just as well as Angela, and was protected by Chuck when people tried to heckle him.
* During the early days of his godhood, there were talks about putting Wilson in Pantheon/TheGreatTreasury, where important story-related items are stored. Chuck is extremely sentimental about Wilson given that this was his only companion for 4 years. So, Chuck requested that Wilson stay with him instead; it stays in his temple most of the time and occasionally bring Wilson with him when he's feeling a bit silly and in a good mood. Having to give up his pocket watch and the worn package (both of which have him hope), he supposed the ball was his current reminder of the hardships he had overcome during his stay on the island. Maybe when he's fully ready to move on, he can donate Wilson to the Treasury one day.
* Chuck eventually found adults who formed connections with objects as well, later befriending them. Chell has a burnt companion cube with her from when she finally escaped from the lab she was being held at for many years. She's not very talkative, but regardless, he could relate to the sense of loneliness she must have felt being by herself for so long with no human contact. Having heard of someone mourning for an object, Chuck decided to pay visit to Stan Pines's temple to hear more about it. Stan felt embarrassed recounting the time he hold a funeral for a wax statue of him, but that was because the statue looked just like his brother, whom he had lost in a freak portal accident years ago. Luckily, he did get his brother back, but took a while for them to be on speaking terms.

** Wake up. Wake ''uuup!'' -- Welcome to Trivia Murder Party! A seemingly normal trivia game with a murderous twist. But it's also a fun party game where up to 8 players can play by entering a room code and connect to an in-game lobby from your device [[note]]like a phone, tablet or computer with an internet connection[[/note]]. You can also play the game by yourself, if you're a weirdo with no friends. Now, I know what you are thinking, you just woken up to a long dark hall with no recollection of how you got there and all you have in your hand is a smartphone with no signal. You're also hearing a guy using a voice changer to make his voice sound really deep and sinister. Well, all I can tell you is that a serial killer just kidnapped you and to escape, you have to play along. Let's play, shall we?
** I'm going to ask you a bunch of trivia questions. It would be displayed on your device and on your game screen (which is placed in this room). If you get a question right, you'll earn free money and be safe until the next question. If you get a question wrong, you'll be sent to The Killing Room [[note]]or The Killing Floor depending on which game you are playing[[/note]] where you have to fight for your life as you get to play one of my awesome minigames. Lose any of my minigames and I'll kill you. Refusing to play any of my minigames and I'll also kill you. If you win, you get to live other round. If one of you is still alive when we reach a certain number of questions, you'll all go to the final round and get a chance to escape. I'll explain that in detail later, I don't want to ruin the surprise yet.
** First Que- Oh, you want to know my name? Well tough luck because [[NoNameGiven I'm not going to give that to you]]. What's that? You wanted to know more about me? Okay fine, but we'll make this quick: I grew up in a hotel where my family used to owned and run the place. They also had a fondest for murder and would kill some of our hotel guests. I didn't want to be apart of that at first (not the whole murder thing, I meant running a hotel). I was more interested in all things trivia and pop culture. So after the place closed down, I set out on my own to try and become a trivia game show host. When that didn't pan out, I decided to kidnap to people and make them play my own game show called ''Trivia Murder Party'', a blend of my passions for Trivia and Murder. You should have heard of me by now, I'm all over the news you know. Years later, I got a will from my father that the old family hotel belongs to me now, so I decided to return home and reopened the place. I also decided to continue the family tradition of running a legitimate hotel and luring a few hotel guests to their deaths, this time by making my guests do several rounds of trivia.
* After my last victim [[EverythingExplodesEnding blew up my freaking hotel]], I was kinda became homeless for while. One day when I was reading the newspaper (you know, to find some articles about me), I came across this classified ad looking for a voice-over host for their next trivia show. I was so stoked about getting that job that I went to this shady-looking address listed on the ad for the interview. Next thing you know, I found myself surrounded by several dark hooded figures, kinda scary even for myself. They told wanted me that I was chosen as a God, more specifically of being a '''FairPlayVillain''' because although I put my victims in my deadly minigames, they always have a chance to survive as long as they play along and win. Even in minigames where it's more likely to kill them and it's pure RNG (like my Loser Wheel), my victims can also survive that somehow too. Even thought I'm very annoyed when that happens, I do admit to sticking to my rules most of the time, it's in the sprit of a party game after all, even if it involves murder.
* Okay, I think I've said quite enough. Let's begin. First Question: I know there's a lot of Houses in the Pantheon and it can be confusing sometimes. Personally, I like going to the House of Pantheon/{{Knowledge}} if I needed more trivia ideas. I also like to go to the House of Pantheon/{{Craft}} to get supplies for my minigames as well as the Houses of Pantheon/{{Slaughter}} or Pantheon/{{Weapons}} for obvious reasons.
-->'''But if I want to get a "meringue", which House should I go to?'''
-->1. House of Pantheon/{{Science}}
-->2. House of Pantheon/TheatreAndSpectacle
-->3. House of Pantheon/{{Food}}
-->4. House of Pantheon/{{Mentalism}}
-->.
--> And the correct answer is: [[spoiler:3. House of Food]]
--> Who got the question right? [[spoiler: INH ✔ | Marion ✘ | Arthur ✔ | Walt ✔ | Audience: 75%]]
--> Which leaves only you, come with me. [[spoiler:[The Host takes Marion to The Killing Room, where he introduces a minigame called "Skewers". She has to hide within a grid of spaces inside a box to prevent herself from being skewed by the safe players. She hid in the upper left corner but INH was able to stab her at the box's left side. Because she lost, The Host hits her doll with bunch of nails from a nail gun, killing her. But somehow she and her doll turns into a ghost.] ]]
* Remember when I said, if you lose any of my minigames, I'll kill you? Yeah, I totally meant it. But don't be discouraged just because you got turned into a ghost. Who knows, maybe if you keep playing, you might go to the final round where you can steal a living player's life force, gain back your body and win the game. Oops, did I give away too early? Oh well!
* {Gaining Allies}
* {Trivia, PopQuiz and game show related deities}
* {Hotel-related deities, Norman Bates dress up like his mother and [redacted] mistakes him as his mother}
* {Minigame deities, party game deities, mentions that party god's high priest is cookie and he used to shadow for him}
* {Serial Killer Rivals}
* {Meeting Tarrant and Jigsaw}
* I tried to pitch a TV adaptation of my game to several game show hosts, who were fine with their contestants getting hurt. They were interested in doing a collaboration with me at first, but we later split due to "CreativeDifferences". Killian wanted to make not only my mini-games unwinnable but also rigged the trivia to make all the choices wrong (which rubs me the wrong way). Vox wanted to axed the trivia aspects of my game as he thinks the viewers would find it boring (and he didn't like to give away any prize money). Chris, the ''Total Drama'' guy, was fine with my game, but only requested to remove the murder-y aspects (not because he cared about his contestants but because his network said they won't allow it). I did managed to make pitch to Professor Genki, who liked my idea and said that he's interested in working with me. He has this idea for a potential spin-off that includes trivia to his "Ethical" trap course. I think adding a course where you get money by shooting people would be fun and I'm starting to warm up to idea of dressing you up in animal suits.
* {Those who oppose The Host, making letters to the haters (those who are against deadly games)}
* I wasn't sure about this whole god thing first. Being a god is all great and all but I'm also worried it might attach some unwanted attention onto me and that I would have less time to do my trivia game. Nowadays, it feels just the old times and I even renovated my temple to look like an abandoned temple to lure in any near-by tourists. I did met the guy who used to has this trope that I now have, platinum-blond hair with a black robe. I asked him why he decided to move out; something about [[HeelFaceTurn him turning good]] and his place looking outdated, I can't really remember. I do feel bad for that guy thought, so I made him my high priest for now while he's waiting to relocate somewhere else.
* {People The Host doesn't want to kidnap, like mind readers who can cheat and read his thoughts. Is fine with kidnapping higher deities.}
* {Fellow voice-only people, Howard and Kreese, The Narrator}
** {he also has an encounter with Stanley. On one loop, [redacted] made stanley play his game until he died. On other loop, Stanley and the Narrator found the killing rooms and stanley decided to wonder around the place. [redacted] stepped in to remove the narrator in his booth}.
* {his knowledge of pop culture is an advantage for him, since he likely knows which deities can do what, seeing fictional characters irl geeks him out.}
* {[[https://youtu.be/gohJT1f1NNI His filter can occasional fail]]. He is 'totally' not other Jackbox game hosts}
* {Other Fair Play Villains}
* {Final round}
* {Aftermath, maybe a new article about what happened?}
