| 22 | * Opposed By: [[SorcerousOverlord basically anyone using magic for an evil manner of rule]] |
| 23 | * High Priest: [[TabletopGame/ForgottenRealms King Gareth Dragonsbane of Damara]] |
| 24 | * He's somewhat mellowed out after his [[StealthPun second]] ascension. Still has an ego that rivals Gilgamesh, but he's much less of a jerk. |
| 25 | * [[PatrioticFervor He truly believes that Shurima was the height of civilization. He believes all would benefit from Shurima's culture and way of life.]] [[CulturalPosturing He's trying to get other nations to join his empire and conform to his ideals]]. |
| 26 | * Other deities notice an [[Creator/TravisWillingham odd]] similarity between him and [[Pantheon/MilitaryRanks Roy Mustang]]'s speech pattern and tone. Neither of them has decided to comment on this. He also wishes to add [[Pantheon/FightingAndCombat Guile]] to his armies, and wants to execute [[Pantheon/{{Fathers}} Relius]] on the spot. |
| 27 | ** For the record, he does not recall ordering every female attendant of Shurima to wear tiny miniskirts. |
| 28 | * Surprising for one like him, he holds nothing but the utmost respect for [[Pantheon/MagicAndSorcery Madoka]], for reasons unknown. [[spoiler:She reminds him of his daughter]]. |
| 29 | * There ''might'' be a chance he and Xerath can patch things up between them, due to their hatred of each other spawning from a series of events that could have been prevented if they actually ''talked'' to each other. |
| 30 | * He gets along surprisingly well with [[Pantheon/SurrogateRelationships Edward Newgate]], likely because they both have strong fatherly instincts (and Azir remembers all too well what he lost). |
| 31 | * Most Gods realized that fighting the sand mage in a desert is a bad idea, and will try to avoid battle with him in one. One of the few who doesn't do so is Gaara, and the shinobi has earned Azir's respect for being able to fight him on more or less even ground. |
| 32 | * Woe to anyone who tries to out-ego this Ascended, for you can see his from ''space''. |
| 33 | * He has very little love for thieves (Sivir notwithstanding, but that's due to family relations). Especially kleptomaniacs like Marisa who has tried to walk off with one of his '''Sun Disks'''. He didn't particularly appreciate that one! |
| 34 | * Despite their magic being, for the most part, polar opposites, he does get along surprisingly well with Queen Elsa... just as long as she doesn't make Shurima into a frozen desert. That would be awkward, and [[MindScrew incredibly confusing and contradictory]]. |
| 35 | * If there's one being Azir despises more than Xerath (if such a thing is even possible), it's [[Pantheon/MagicCasters Dormammu]] due to him being everything Azir detests when it comes to magic and rule. He even went so far to slightly stand up in defense of Xerath that the latter at least has justification in what he did (even if it's deserving punishment). Dormammu has no such excuse. |
| 36 | * As for Shurima's state of not being an Empire anymore...he's working on that. |
| 37 | * There was once an attempt to attack Shurima after his first Ascension. Let's just say that his [[PowerOfTheSun Sun Disk]] plus the Desert's heat, combined with daytime hours makes for a ''very'' effective KillSat. |
| 38 | * His relation with Arturia is an odd one. On one hand, he's unsure if she's actually a good enough ruler to lead a nation (what with the rebellion that [[MutualKill killed her and her child]] and the [[Pantheon/EmotionalCombat Lancelot]] fiasco). On the other, he acknowledges he had a similar issue with someone he trusts betraying him and destroying his country. |
| 39 | * A lot has wondered if he absolutely has to insert "Shurima" in every one of his sentences, like trying to compete with Garen about his patriotism with Demacia. Azir denied this that he could speak without that word sometimes, but he can't help it when Shurima was supposed to be this peak of mankind/godhood achievement. |
| 40 | * Also has a house in Pantheon/FantasticalLeadership. |
| 41 | * ''"Shurima! Your emperor has returned!"'' |
| 42 | ** When he arrived to the Pantheon, he made himself known with "Trope Pantheons! Shurima's Emperor has returned!" (because it's not Shurima), which elected a lot of people to cower in fear because it sounds VERY similar to an event where a nuke was launched to the Pantheon, leaving behind a massive crater. Azir later learned [[Anime/MobileSuitGundam0083StardustMemory what caused this]] and made proper preparation in retaliation. |

| 59 | * Interested in: [[Pantheon/MagicCasters Veigar]] |
| 60 | * Dread Lord of the Dark Dimension, MultiversalConqueror, TheChessmaster. All these things and more describe the Dread Dormammu. He ascended when he began to bring the dark dimension out into the pantheon, only for the entire house of magic to freeze it where it is. Dormammu was not pleased at this development, but left his temple to prospect the many beings he will now conquer. |
| 61 | * Despite his vexation, a part of him is glad he left his treacherous sister Clea behind. In part to torment his arch enemy Dr. Strange with his loss, and in part as it means that's one less enemy to contend with. |
| 62 | * He has fought many of the other gods in the house [[VideoGame/MarvelVsCapcom3 before]]. |
| 63 | * Has made a rival in Shao Kahn, another MultiversalConqueror. |
| 64 | * Awaits Thor to notice his ascension as he wants to defeat him and let Asgard fall to him. |

| 66 | * Laughs in the face of Dante, who he sees as insignificant. |

| 68 | ** He also has a similar attitude to Bayonetta. |

| 71 | * Is surprisingly respectful to Melkor, though he's quick to tell him if he is ever vulnerable he will kill Melkor and force his dominion into the Dark Dimension. |
| 72 | -->"Ancient One, what is thy will?" |
| 73 | * He wants to battle Lucifer and claim the title "Creator of Chaos" for himself. |
| 74 | * Scoffs at the idea of Magical Girls and their attempts to battle him with their powers. |
| 75 | --> "You DARE challenge me with Magic!" |
| 76 | * [[spoiler:Is working with [[Pantheon/{{Angels}} Satan]] to take the Great Will's Throne]]. |
| 77 | * Is impressed with the demon [[Pantheon/{{Contempt}} Mard Geer]], whose "[[UnequalRites curses]]" are among some of the most unique magics he has ever seen, especially his ultimate one, [[UnholyNuke Memento]] [[CessationOfExistence Mori]]. |
| 78 | * After Veigar ascended, Dormammu learned of his [[SorcerousOverlord ultimate ambitions]] and magical potential, and has since been keeping a close eye on the Tiny Master of Evil. |
| 79 | * That flaming skull? Only AFormYouAreComfortableWith. Also, [[Film/DoctorStrange2016 he's huge]]! |

| 100 | * Respects: [[Pantheon/VillainousReputation Champ of Wild Hunt]] |
| 101 | * Joker is an agent of Bad End, an organization hell bent on destroying the world and served as TheDragon to Emperor Pierrot, or more accurately, DragonInChief, given Pierrot was out of commission and needed to be revived. Because of this, he is responsible for nearly all of Bad End’s plans. He is the superior to Bad End’s generals and is a creation of Emperor Pierrot. |
| 102 | * One day, Yuuki Terumi came to realize that the amount of {{Hope Bringer}}s in the Pantheon were immense, with some of them even being far ahead of him in power. He decided to ascend another HopeCrusher in order to counter this. He had come to learn beforehand that the Smile Pretty Cures thought him to be similar to a villain from their world known as Joker, and upon doing some research, noticed that he could be a great help in bringing despair to the Pantheon. Upon ascension, Yuuki Terumi, with aid from some of his allies, including Relius Clover, managed to rebuild his original body after he lost it when it was revealed that he survived Emperor Pierrot’s destruction during the events of a Ten Year TimeSkip in the Sequel Novel. Now restored to his original form, Joker revived his Bad End Generals and set up shop in the Pantheon. |
| 103 | * The Smile Pretty Cure were '''''[[{{Understatement}} not pleased]]''''' to learn that he had ascended, and the rest of the Precures weren’t happy about it either. His horrible acts of [[ManipulativeBastard manipulation]], MindRape and [[HopeCrusher bringing despair]] make it easy to see why. The Smile Precures have sworn that they will get rid of him for good this time, something that Joker smiled at. This has only intensified their enmity with Terumi for bringing back their greatest foe, something that the insane god happily embraced. |
| 104 | * Is one of the most malicious {{Hope Crusher}}s in the Pantheon. He would much rather destroy a wish granting item than use it to cause despair because he enjoys tormenting people into it slowly. Not only that, but it gets worse, as he is skilled enough at mind games and manipulation to the point where his BreakThemByTalking methods are almost always successful in some way. Most notable are what he did to the Pretty Cures after their first fight and that time when he once broke Reika Aoki. |
| 105 | * One of his first allies, to the absolute horror of many, was none other than Kefka Palazzo, a fellow MonsterClown. Their shared love for destruction and evil, along with their immense depravity and desire to destroy hope, was too much for the two to ignore and they’ve struck up an alliance. The Heroes of the World of Balance were very disturbed by this, and they have been opposing the plans of Joker, and Kefka has warned the Spawn of Pierrot about how much of an issue they can be. |
| 106 | ** And if things couldn’t get any possibly worse regarding these events, Kefka happily decided to introduce Joker to none other than Dimentio, who bears many similarities to the both of them. Joker was quite intrigued by Dimentio’s RealityWarper abilities, especially one of his creations, a dimension of his own design that is called Dimension D. Joker will sometimes escape there for a quick exit if he gets overwhelmed by a foe and has no other way out. |
| 107 | * There was once a very horrible incident where Joker decided to start going after the Puella Magi to turn them into Witches by driving them into despair. To this end, he decided to target Madoka Kaname first, knowing full well that she would be a thorn in his side even without her powers and, once he found her, mentally tormented her until Sayaka Miki and Spawn attacked him. This went on for a while, and unfortunately, Joker managed to escape. |
| 108 | ** And upon learning that Madoka got her MagicalGirl abilities back, the Spawn of Pierrot decided that it was to time to try his hand at it once more. He eventually tracked her down once again and delivered a far more vicious verbal beatdown than before, to the point where she was [[BreakTheCutie being driven to tears by him.]] This time, Kyoko Sakura and Guts came to the rescue, and Joker still gave Madoka a few more words before retreating. |
| 109 | --> '''Joker:''' “Hope, Madoka? Even after all I’ve done, all I’ve said, you’re clinging onto hope? How funny! You became Hope itself, and still, you fell into a pit of despair: Powerless! And now you seek to regain your former status, even after obtaining some of your power once more? Hahaha...hope and despair, two sides of the same coin. But despair...will overtake hope...and you’re among the biggest examples of why that is! [[LaughingMad HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!]]” |
| 110 | --> '''Kyoko Sakura:''' “[[YouMonster YOU ARE THE WORST!]]” |
| 111 | * Do not confuse him with the Clown Prince of Crime at all. Joker actually did once try to extend an invitation for an alliance, but it was promptly rejected due to reminding him too much of The Batman Who Laughs. When Joker got wind of this person, he immediately decided to organize a meeting with him, coming to realize that as good as he is at [[BreakThemByTalking Breaking People]], Laughs happens to be better. Joker is well aware that such an alliance could end horribly for him, but he doesn’t really care, as he knows that their shared desire to destroy hope and cause destruction will keep it from collapsing, and Laughs ''agreed'' with him. To make things worse, Joker has been learning from Laughs in order to get better at his Breaking Speeches, which are already highly effective, [[OhCrap much to the horror of their respective enemies.]] |
| 112 | * Believe it or not, he actually finds the very fact that Homura Akemi stole Madoka Kaname’s powers to be completely and utterly hilarious, but he believes the girl herself to be boring and predictable due to constantly coming to the defense of the latter. Much like he did with the Smile Precures, Joker is watching Homura fight from the shadows so he can see what he is up against, and he ultimately plans to create a [[EvilKnockoff Bad End version of her]]. He’s already begun contacting Yapool, Chaos and the Psycho Rangers for aid in doing this. Yapool for his skills in making monsters, the Psycho Rangers for a template to go off of and Chaos for its extreme power. Joker wants Chaos to lend some of its spawn’s abilities to the EvilKnockoff to make it powerful enough to hold its own against even Overdeities. |
| 113 | * Absolutely ''loves'' Junko Enoshima and Tsumugi Shirogane. The slow and sadistic ways that they drove others into despair via {{Deadly Game}}s was, in his mind, too entertaining to ignore, and upon learning about an unbreakable boy named Makoto Naegi, decided that he could be a potential threat to the annihilation of Hope everywhere. Joker wonders how he can maintain hope despite the fact that many people around him ended up dying at the hands of Junko’s games, and has taken up breaking him as a challenge, something that Enoshima knows is far, far easier said than done. |
| 114 | * Tends to hang out with HIM from time to time. The two like causing problems for the Precure and the Powerpuff Girls. Sometimes with HIM fighting the Precure and Joker fighting the PPG. Sometimes they will even work together, requiring the Precure and the Powerpuff Girls to team up to take them down. He is aware that there is another team of Powerpuff Girls in the Pantheon known as the Powerpuff Girls Z, and they have been opposing him. Joker eventually plans on ascending their version of HIM out of spite and retaliation. |
| 115 | * Doesn’t hold anything against [[OmnicidalManiac Omnicidal Maniacs]]. Joker would rather [[HopeCrusher squash the hope out of every last person]] before committing an act of that scale, [[ForTheEvulz simply because it’s possible]]. This helps him get along with Chaos, who ultimately seeks to [[OmnicidalManiac destroy the universe]]. Still, it loves to cause despair and hopelessness to those living if it benefits its plans while Joker actually approves of its desire to destroy. The Sailor Guardians, on the other hand, see him as a dire enemy that needs to be stopped. Joker has made contact with the Death Phantom to counter their opposition. |
| 116 | * Joker can create MonstersOfTheWeek called Akanbes by fusing a clown nose containing a cure decor with an object, meaning that anything can be turned into a MonsterClown. However, this doesn’t just apply to objects. Trees can be transformed into them as well. They appear when he shouts “Come out, Akanbe!” [[PokemonSpeak They can only say Akanbe, Aka or Beh, as well as Super and Hyper if they are the correct type]]. Sometimes they can speak in a more complex manner if it is appropriate to the situation. This has gotten him on the radar of the SCP Foundation, who want to contain him to stop the creation of these beings, though this is proving to be harder than they originally expected. |
| 117 | * Used to have a massive amount of respect for Yuri. That is until he learned of his HeelFaceTurn. Now, Joker sees him with nothing but seething hatred and disgust, thinking of Yuri as wasted potential. He plans on making him regress back to his evil ways [[ForTheEvulz just for the hell of it]]. Of course, Yuri and his allies have been opposing him due to this as well as just how awful he is, something that Joker pays no mind as he actually expected this. |
| 118 | * Gives Pennywise, The Violator and Sweet Tooth his approval, as they are all completely vile and utterly despicable individuals. He loves the mass despair the three are able to cause through their malevolent actions of killing. Joker also greatly respects Wild Hunt’s MonsterClown member, Champ, for the amount of hatred and despair he inflicts when he commits his [[CompleteMonster depraved acts.]] Champ doesn’t care much about Joker, but the spawn of Pierrot doesn’t care if he does or not. He also likes SCP 993 for the desire to [[CorruptionOfAMinor corrupt children]], seeing it as an excellent way to cause despair to their friends and family, maybe even more than just those close to them. SCP 993, in turn, loves working with Joker due to his cruel and immoral methods of [[TheCorrupter causing corruption.]] The most terrifying of them all, however, is the fact that Molag Bal, the King of Corruption, is very fond of Joker due to [[TheCorrupter what he did to the Bad End Generals.]] [[OhCrap Joker, in turn, has been working with the King of Corruption to find ways to break all]] [[HopeBringer Hope Bringers]] [[OhCrap in order to bring the]] [[DownerEnding worst ending upon the Pantheon]]. |
| 119 | * When the Splash Star Pretty Cures ascended and he found himself being opposed by them, Joker decided that enough was enough and brought in Gohyan and his Dark Fall organization into the Pantheon, knowing full well that they have the same goals of bringing ruin upon the world. Sneaking them into the Pantheon unnoticed with the aid of Wiseman. Gohyan launched an attack to let them know Dark Fall had returned, and Joker simply smiled, knowing that everything had gone AllAccordingToPlan. |
| 120 | * He and Johan Liebert genuinely respect each other for their skills in breaking people through sheer words alone and the two will sometimes trade stories on what they’ve done to other deities in the Pantheon. Both parties know that they are using each other for their own ends, but they don’t care at the moment. Both of them are preparing for the moment the alliance goes south but as of now, they get along like a house on fire, which is VERY worrying. |
| 121 | * ''"It's not just enough to destroy the world. I want to destroy all hopes, all dreams, and all miracles in the world. That is when true despair will come."'' |

| 137 | * Opposed: [[Pantheon/HatredAndRancor The Anti-Spiral]] |
| 138 | * Conflicting Opinion: [[Pantheon/TimeTravelling Homura Akemi]] |
| 139 | * Barring Tzeentch, Kroak is quite possibly the strongest mage in the Pantheon. This claim is backed up by him being a member of an entire race of archmages who's definition of "minor tweaks" include permanent weather changes and messing with tectonic plates. |
| 140 | * The Golden Tablets of Lustria foretell of a prophecy in which 5 human children would bring hope and dispel entropy and chaos. Lord Kroak believes the Puella Magi are those children, thus he frequently aids them from behind the shadows, especially in matters against Tzeentch. Homura's pragmatism rings closest to him. |
| 141 | ** There have been reports of small bipedal chameleon-like things skittering about in their realms as of late. Those are in fact Lord Kroak's scouts/spies, secretly sending information on the locations of back up copies to the old MG system. |
| 142 | *** After the "Fear Toxin" incident, an event that very nearly destroyed the Pantheon once its full scope had unfolded, he has become much more open in his aid of them and the Sisterhood in general. As part of this, he has ordered the security around the Sisterhood beefed up in the form of some rather... scary... bodyguards, with the deadliest and most powerful of the lot directly assigned to Madoka. [[spoiler:However, the results of both the Great Upheaval and Pantheonic Rebellion, especially Homura's betrayal and Madoka's depowering, have left even him in disbelief. It's unclear whether he feels Homura's actions are justified, but it is clear that he's willing to raise his hand against her if it comes to it]]. |
| 143 | *** The irony of the Sisterhood's helper being not so different from one of their worst enemies is duly noted. |
| 144 | * His other portfolio is NightmareFuel amongst the GUAG; both for the horrific acts he and his people are capable of and for the fact that [[BlueAndOrangeMorality their brains are completely incapable of processing malice despite those acts]]. |
| 145 | * Through him, Reptile finally managed to get a home with other Lizard folk. The two get along pretty well, with Kroak employing him as an assassin. This, alongside his extreme methods, put him at odds with Litchi, the one who stored and took care of Reptile before he arrived. |
| 146 | ** Kroak's thoughts about this: A confused FacePalm. He thinks it to be "Warmblood" overreaction since Kroak believes that as a healer, she should know better about the mental/emotional health of someone is just as important as their physical health. It's not like he's trying to permanently take Reptile away from her. Besides, he wouldn't hesitate to aid against Terumi since "he is a blight upon the pantheon and creation that needs to be erased.''. |
| 147 | * Used to be on good terms with Kyubey, that is until its involvement in the "Great Upheaval" in which it tried to recreate witches, thus undermine certain golden tablets. He decided to punish it with a "Deliverance of Itza" (basically a magic equivalent of a nuclear explosion). [[spoiler: Homura got to Kyubey first, with her [[FateWorseThanDeath own idea of recompense.]]]] |
| 148 | ** Not being one to waste magical energy, he put that charged up spell to good use by deciding to follow through with Kyoko and Sayaka's request regarding a certain Teppei Houjou. The resulting mushroom cloud could be seen across the pantheon for hours. He now frequently teams up with The Basterds in beating down the holder of the portfolio that PayEvilUntoEvil target. |
| 149 | * Kroak was once a Greater God of Magic but was killed by his enemies which sapped his power and brought him down to the level of Intermediate God. |
| 150 | * Has a sign outside his domain on how not to draw the attention of his Lizardmen followers. |
| 151 | ** 1. Don't be evil, lest we be ruthless in destroying you. |
| 152 | ** 2. If not under #1, don't provoke us. |
| 153 | ** 3. When visiting me, don't do anything that can be interpreted as being even slightly suspicious. My Temple Guards' brains are hard-wired to perceive even the slightest suspicious behaviour [[BerserkButton as a threat against me]] regardless of your intentions. |
| 154 | * Seems to be pretty chill with Kiritsugu Emiya for his beliefs on war, which earned Kroak his respect. Kiritsugu, on the other hand, returns the respect with a smile on his face. |
| 155 | * When news heard that Khadgar was one of the main driving force between the Second and Third Invasion Wars, Lord Kroak applauded him, even so much as to inviting him into the Slann as a worthy member of his [[TheMagocracy mage race]]. While he did appreciate the offer, his caution towards him rose when news of what Kroak has [[NightmareFuel done towards other races]] reached into the GUAG, not to mention [[WellIntentionedExtremist the numerous sacrifices he and his race has done]]. |

| 181 | * Admired By: Hallie Parker and Annie James |
| 182 | * Respected By: The Good Aligned Deities of the Hall of Pantheon/DraconicBeings |
| 183 | * Conflicting Opinion: [[Pantheon/TimeManipulation Homura Akemi]] |
| 184 | * Uneasy Relationship: Most Dwarves in the Pantheon ([[ElvesVersusDwarves Due to Historical Grievances on the High Elves's Part]]). |
| 185 | * As two of the greatest Elven heroes in the history of Ulthuan, Tyrion and Teclis have proven themselves to be among the most inspiring figures in the Warhammer World, for they have successfully held off numerous threats, especially thr Dark Elves led by Malekith from attacking and conquering Ulthuan. Despite all this however, both brothers have had their fair share of issues, personal and racial. The High Elves were a damaged race thanks to the machinations of Malekith a few millenia ago when he instigated the [[ElvesVersusDwarves War of the Beard]] through vengeful machinations to ensure the High Elves and Dwarves did not rebel against the Dark Elves and proved successful, waking the Empire of Ulthuan and rendering the High Elves a vulnerable race. Additionally, Tyrion was driven by insecurities regarding the state of his race and the world at large, but placed special emphasis on his twin brother Teclis, who was frail and ulnerable from birth,resulting in Tyrion developing an [[BigBrotherInstinct overly protective stance]] for him. Even worse was the coming of [[TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt The End Times]], which all races have been preparing for quite a long time. |
| 186 | * After the events of the End Times, Tyrion found himself in some kind of gilded hall. He was then approached by a clearly alive Teclis, which baffled the older brother ad the last time he saw Teclis was when he was suddenly disintegrated trying to hold on to a Chaos Vortex, courtesy of [[ManipulativeBastard Mannfred von Carstein]]. Teclis told Tyrion that they were in lands never seen before and that the Chaos Gods and Dark Elves have also marked their presence. Upon hearing, Tyrion chided his brother for what had happened beforehand, but told him that there were worse matters to deal with as of now. The Elven twin brothers readied their gear and marched out of the hall, marking their presence in the Pantheon. |
| 187 | * Upon their ascension into the Pantheon, many deities took to noticing Tyrion and Teclis the moment they began to meet with other ascended deities from other worlds. They soon realized that the Pantheonic World was far more different compared to what they had been living and fighting in. While they expected much of the same species from their world, but they didn't come to expect each of them had varying morality, which intrigued Teclis as unlike most High Elves, he is willing to strike alliances with which the High Elves can benefit from as long as they're careful with it. |
| 188 | * As a masterful warrior and mage respectively, in addition to defending Ulthuan against the Dark Elves of Naggaroth for several years, Tyrion and Teclis are very highly regarded by many heroic deities, especially fellow Elves. Tyrande Whisperwind was quick to strike an alliance with them, thinking that their capabilities will benefit greatly for the side of good. They naturally joined Cosmos and the Pantheon/GrandUnitedAllianceOfGood as they felt that they would feel most at home working with benevolent fighters and rulers. |
| 189 | ** That said, Tyrion and Teclis can come across as [[GoodIsNotNice dry and aloof]] towards many people, allies and foes alike. Make no mistake though; [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold they truly do care about the state of other beings and the condition of the Pantheonic world overall]]. |
| 190 | * Malekith was... somewhat impressed to see that Tyrion and Teclis made it into the Pantheon. If anything, he waited for such a moment to happen, despite having yet another [[ArchEnemy sworn nemesis]] to deal with. Malekith is taking new approaches and making allies outside of just the Dark Elves to prepare himself against Tyrion and Teclis. That said, he'll actually [[EnemyMine pull out any animosity towards them and fight together]] when it comes to the Chaos Gods and the Pantheon/GrandUnitedAllianceOfEvil, given that the Dark King himself opposes Chaos just as much as anyone and that the Pantheonic World actively encourages alliances with other races and species if it mans survival and harmony. |
| 191 | ** Oddly enough, Malekith has managed to somewhat tone down his malicious nature, given his tenure as the [[spoiler:Eternity-King during the End-Times, where he began to soften and open up towards others and work together with other races]]. While he has returned to villainy in the Pantheon, Malekith has developed some virtues overtime. That said, he still sees Tyrion and Teclis as his [[ArchEnemy greatest enemies]], though overtime, he's become open to treat them as [[WorthyOpponent worthy adversaries]] and even elicit an aforementioned alliance at times. |
| 192 | * As two of the strongest Elves in the Pantheon, Tyrion and Teclis have taken it upon themselves to defend this new world as much as they could. This has been a rather stressful issue as both brothers find it difficult to find a luxurious way to spend their life. Tyrion has made it clear that its in a battle where he's at his most fuctional whereas Teclis is physically frail to the point where he needs [[HealingPotion Healing Potions]] to maintain even moving around on his feet, and this still doesn't stop him from entering battlefields every now and then. |
| 193 | * Learning about the state of Middle-earth and how the Elves and Dwarves have managed to still maintain a strong camaraderie with one another (despite some scuffles and tensions in their history), Tyrion and Teclis have admitted to feeling a bit jealous about how well-regarded they are, in stark contrast to the Elves and Dwarves of the Warhammer World, who remained bitter rivals til the End Times, and even then, their tensions were never fully resolved. |
| 194 | ** Legolas and Gimli have expressed sympathy towards Tyrion and Teclis for their difficult life and for never really being able to get along with Dwarves, but have offered a conventional alliance against Sauron. Seeing what the Dark Lord was capable of and that Sauron will stop at nothing at corrupting beings into his influence much like the Chaos Gods, the Elven Twins accepted the partnership. Now that Sauron has become the top lieutenant of Darkseid and working with Archaon for their own means, the Elven brothers are more than needed at this point. |
| 195 | * They may promote an order of peace, but Tyrion and Teclis are willing to break through Elven norms if it means doing the right thing, establishing relationships and settling scores. They are not fond with the law and order that Ashera and YHVH preach on about and oppose Quan Chi, Dracula and Orlok, mainly because of the former's dabbling into Necromancy and the latter two being far worse vampires than Vlad could be. They've come to an uneasy terms with Vlad and Settra, considering what they've went through in the End Times, but Tyrion and Teclis are wary about the agreement for now. |
| 196 | * They have an established partnership with the Magical Girl Sisterhood and the Four Magicians, if mainly because Teclis himself is a formidable mage in his own right. Doctor Strange had admitted to stating that he would like to help out Teclis's psychical frailty, but has had little success, given that the Curse of Aenarion has enough influence on Teclis's body, just as much as it does on Tyrion's mind. Fate Testarossa-Harlaown has expressed sympathy in the amount of drama Tyrion and Teclis have been through, given how Fate has had familial issues similar to the Elven Twins. |
| 197 | ** They have varying opinions on the Puella Magi. Due to her nature as the Pantheon's HopeBringer, they've both given their support towards Madoka Kaname, who is the only member that the Elven Twins equally respect in high regard. That's not to say they dislike the other members, only that they have their own preferences. Tyrion favors Sayaka Miki and Kyoko Sakura because they're headstrong and dedicated warriors just like him, in addition to Sayaka having troubling emotional baggage like Tyrion does. Teclis has an OddFriendship with Mami Tomoe as they're generally concerned about others beyond just their own demographic. Homura Akemi remains the only Puella Magi where Tyrion and Teclis have conflicting thoughts that don't amount to an answer. While they admit that her love for Madoka is genuine, they also think what she did was selfish and has only bought in more damage towards the Pantheon, herself and Madoka. |
| 198 | * Are currently stationed on the Pantheon/GUAGSacredKnights Division, given their ability to lead great armies and be powerful opponents that have led Ulthuan to victory several times. Thanks to the twins, the prominence of Elves in the GUAG has increased by a slim margin. |
| 199 | ** That said, both Tyrion and Teclis were disappointed to know about Sylvanas Whisperwind and the direction she took later in her life. Sylvanas simply sees the Elven Twins as enemies that she'll have to deal with. Despite her villainy, Tyrion and Teclis have noted that she is still nowhere as malicious as their world's Dark Elves and are thinking about working with Tyrande in the hopes of redeeming her in the future. Progress is yet to me made as of now... |
| 200 | * While they have been admired and sought after by various warriors and elves, this also happens to be the case for Hallie Parker and Annie James, whom also reside in the same Sub-House as Tyrion and Teclis. The twin sisters look up to Tyrion and Teclis for being inspiration heroes and for doing the best they could for their home, alongside highlighting Tyrion's devotion to protecting and looking after Teclis. Teclis seems to enjoy Hallie and Annie's company, even offering them snark practices to make their tricks more vocally effective. They're also respected by the Hall of Pantheon/DraconicBeings given the High Elves's capability to tame and ride dragons into battle, which is a rare feat in the Warhammer World. There are some exceptions like Smaug, Grima and Tiamut, whom Tyrion and Teclis heavily oppose given their malicious nature. |
| 201 | * As the Pantheon was an amalgamation of several different universes with unique settings, Tyrion and Teclis were interested to see what sort of experiences and trubulence they've had to endure over the years. One of those which reminded the brothers of their world was [[Franchise/DragonAge Thedas]], which also had Elves that were becoming a vulnerable race, but were also facing hardship and discrimination from the other races. They were able to sympathize with them, given how the High Elves of the Old World were also not in a good state. They've made friends with Merrill, with Teclis willing to teach her in bettering the control of her powers. |
| 202 | * Exclusive to Tyrion: |
| 203 | ** Despite all the heroism and praise that Tyrion has accumulated, one thing that cannot be changed is the fact that being a descendant of Aenarion [[BlessedWithSuck is detrimental]], or in his case, his mind. Tyrion is brash and impulsive, which does play up his personality trait of him being rather sheltered and reserved about his feelings. There's no denying he cares about the High Elves and especially his brother, but its really difficult to keep in check of his mind, lest he [[AxCrazy lets it all out during battle]], becoming a terrifying butcher in the battlefield. |
| 204 | *** This reached its logical conclusion when Tyrion found out [[spoiler: he had a daughter with Alarielle, Aliathra, who was kidnapped and sacrificed by Arkhan ([[KickTheDog who was aided by Teclis of all people]]) to bring back Nagash. The stress and frustration built up by these string of events prompted Tyrion to pick up the [[EvilSword Widowmaker]], which corrupted him into becoming the Avatar of Khaine. He then proceeded to reignite the Elven Civil War, right in the middle of the End Times, during which most elves sided with Malekith, who by then, was the Phoenix King after receiving conformation that he was indeed, the destined ruler and gatherer of all Elves]]. |
| 205 | ** Some deities have suggested Tyrion to go seek out Mental Health Support to help out with his angst and worry. Tyrion hasn't really responded all that much and if he does so, he states that his mind is already troubled by the course bought up by Aenarion's lineage and thus, he really can't do anything to help it out if the Four Magicians couldn't do much either. |
| 206 | ** As much of an amazing warrior and an inspirational hero ad he is, Tyrion is surprisingly a klutz outside of warfare. He's pretty aloof and isn't really much of an expert in a lot of things, save for loving and looking after Teclis. He does however pay no interest in politics, thinking it'd a waste of time for him. |
| 207 | ** Has struck a friendship with several knightly deities, namely Link, Lucina, Arturia Pendragon and Aragorn for being fellow fighters of defense and peace. He's praised all of them for saving their respective worlds in some way or another and is more than willing to fight side-by-side with them. It also helps in that Tyrion is beginning to tone down on his prejudiced views towards Non-Elven beings thanks to the Pantheon and its influence. |
| 208 | * Exclusive to Teclis: |
| 209 | ** Given that [[spoiler:he betrayed Tyrion [[MoralEventHorizon in the worst way possible]]]], Teclis is undergoing his own set of angst. The fact that [[spoiler:his plans to stop the End Times by taking drastic actions, which not just backfired horribly, but actually accelerated the destruction of the Warhammer World isn't helping matters either. And then there's Teclis trying to contain the Rift, only to end up [[ShootTheShaggyDog disintegrating whilst making no difference in saving the world]]]]. Unlike Tyrion however, Teclis is accepting in taking therapy and seeking mental health and emotional support and help from others. |
| 210 | *** [[spoiler:All that said, Tyrion still cared and loved Teclis like how any elder brother would, even ruthlessly killing Mannfred for playing a hand in Teclis's death]]. They're still working together in the Pantheon, with their feud against Malekith now restarted, though Teclis feels as if Malekith's CharacterDevelopment in the End Times has played a role in him being somewhat softer and more affable in the Pantheon than he was in the Warhammer World. |
| 211 | ** He has made a good partnership with a human dwarf, whose is also named Tyrion. Tyrion Lannister similarly bonded with Teclis in that both of them have elder brothers who would stand by and protect them, in addition to them having a [[DeadpanSnarker sharp and coarse sense of humor]] that defined their personality. They've given thoughts about playing a political role in the Pantheon at some point, which Teclis would enjoy doing. |
| 212 | ** As a master mage, he is sought after by many wizards and witches, experienced or in training,such as Schierke, Aqua and Zatanna. It helps in that Teclis played a hand in establishing the [[WizardingSchool Imperial Colleges of Magic]] to help mortals in learning magic to combat against the Forces of Chaos. |

| 236 | * Her story (shared with her best friend, who's actually the main protagonist) begins when she and Armilly went foraging in the woods for a Peppermint Puffer mushroom to clean up the well in their village of Goosebucket. When they returned, they found Goosebucket being set ablaze by the Void Army, and the local Heroes Guild abducted. Being the only ones available to fight them, the two (plus their friend Galleo) took matters in their own hands to rescue the Guild. |
| 237 | ** But when the Guild proved to be nothing but {{Dirty Coward}}s, it became clear that the Fellowship (now with the addition of the veteran Orik (former sidekick of the legendary [[spoiler:and fallen]] hero Gilgamech), with the sibling thieves Tarah and Thayne joining up later) was the Realm's only hope of stopping the Void Army from unleashing the Necronomicog to reshape the world by awakening the Behemoth. |
| 238 | ** Long story short, while they stopped the Void Army and confronted [[spoiler:Gilgamech]], they couldn't stop him from awakening Behemoth, but they were able to vanquish it once and for all. As for what happened to Copernica after, she became the new principal of the University of Magic [[spoiler:given the previous one, her mentor Hyapathia, had been in cahoots with the Void Army (forcing the Fellowship to take her down)]] and opened it for everyone willing to learn. |
| 239 | * That said, it turns out there was another candidate to this claim; Atlas android Penny Pollendina, due to inheritance of the Winter Maiden powers as well as generating an Aura [[DoAndroidsDream when only those with a soul can]] (even if it's thanks to her "father" Pietro providing his for it). However, the title ultimately went to Copernica because the steambot has a much wider repertoire of spells (compared to Penny's wind and frost magic), not to mention [[spoiler:still being a robot by the end of the adventure]], unlike Penny, [[spoiler:whose virus-infected robot body was transferred out of her soul by the Staff of Creation, causing a new one (which is most probably without any [[BuffySpeak robot-ness]]) to be made from her own soul]]. She was also present in the Pantheon already as Nu-13's High Priestess. Still, no hard feelings were had with either, and given that [[spoiler:she's left her mortal coil (passing her Maiden powers to Winter Schnee), Penny was resurrected in her robot body, and]] implanted a firewall to ensure that she cannot be hacked so easily again. |
| 240 | * During the ascension ceremony, she got into conversation with many of her neighbors, who were intrigued with her very nature as a machine able to cast magic. After learning that she was [[spoiler:teaching magic in her world after the Behemoth was vanquished]], Palom invited her to join him in teaching (applications of) "black magic" at Elysium Academy (since how she learned magic might be different from his). Porom sees no issues here and finds Copernica to be an okay person, even if the idea of a RobotWizard is still something to get used to. |
| 241 | * Was attacked at her (one of two) temple(s) one day by Cinder Fall, who coveted the powers of the Winter Maiden (yet only now noticed her existence) and wondered if [[spoiler:the resurrected Penny still had them now that she's BackFromTheDead, or if they were gone for good and inherited by Winter Schnee]]. Due to a lack of need for extreme mobility back in her realm (usually leaving that to Orik, who was at the other temple with the rest of the heralds), Copernica was a sitting duck for most of the fight, requiring Penny to intercede multiple times whenever the Fall Maiden went for the steambot. Eventually, the commotion drew her neighbors in, and Ruby Rose herself was already en route, wanting to see Penny again (not knowing of Cinder's attack yet). Once TheCavalry arrived, Cinder contended with all the meddlers, but as soon as Ruby entered the scene, after exchanging several blows with her, she saw that her odds of success have become too low and beat a hasty retreat. |
| 242 | ** After thanking her neighbors for pitching in, Copernica was also approached by Ruby and thanked for helping protect Penny, even if the steambot confesses to having needed protection ''by'' Penny numerous times. |
| 243 | * Given the fact that the Houses of Science and Magic are usually at odds with one another, Copernica's mere existence is seen as a novelty, curiosity, or even an affront. What's more, she's a ''steam''-powered robot, rather than electricity-powered like most robots in the Pantheon, which also make her not easily hack-able, just like [[Pantheon/TechnologicalExperts Agatha Heterodyne's]] clanks. |
| 244 | * In regards to her [[https://www.ign.com/wikis/steamworld-quest/Punch_Cards#Copernica array of spells]], she has all manner of [[FireIceLightning Fire, Frost, and Storm]] spells, and can even put an opponent to sleep (though only once per engagement), increase or decrease resistances to/increase power in casting those elements, etc. Notably, her Meteor does Frost damage rather than Fire. |
| 245 | ** She expends Steam Pressure (SP) to cast her more powerful spells, and builds up SP with basic attacks (Book Bash that also reduces a target's magic power) or "cantrip"-level spells (like a Mana Barrier, a fire whip, a blast of electricity), raise her own magic, conjure a reflective barrier against [[FireIceLightning Fire, Frost, and Storm]]-element magic, or even make herself a GlassCannon by buffing her magic attacks the cost of much of her resistances. She can also "weaponize" her Doubt by making it absorb elemental attacks at the cost of her momentarily malfunctioning. |
| 246 | ** As for how her magic works in the Pantheon since she's the only ascended steambot so far, she's not limited to eight "punch cards" per battle anymore, and can use all of her abilities, so long as she has the SP to cast the more powerful ones. As for how SP works for her, it builds up as normal, and when allies perform certain abilities, though only half as effectively as a steambot could. |
| 247 | * Dislikes "heroes" who engineer their own incidents or just [[GloryHound desire glory above all else]], [[spoiler:given Gilgamech fit neatly in both categories and caused Armilly, [[HeroWorshipper who worshipped his achievements]], to briefly suffer a HeroicBSOD]]. [[Film/SpiderManFarFromHome In one world]], [[Pantheon/SupportMagic Mysterio]] counted for both, and so do [[Pantheon/TheatricNarrative Frost]], and the Seven (though she holds some exception for Starlight given her circumstances). |
| 248 | ** As for the people named Gilgame'''s'''h, she likes neither of them, the Lancer for his [[ItsAllAboutMe massive ego]], and the multi-armed sword hunter for his obsession. At least she has nothing he wants. |
| 249 | * Given they're also robots with supernatural non-scientific abilities, [[Pantheon/TimePlacement Aigis (plus Mitsuru)]] visited as well, curious as to how Copernica and her magic worked as well as wanting to make another friend. That said, given the nature of the story of ''Steamworld Quest'', which is a fictional work ''inside'' a fictional work (''Steamworld Dig'', ''Dig 2'', and ''Heist''), and the possibility that it's a standard fantasy tale whose characters were "re-translated" into steambots, [[MST3KMantra there likely isn't any explanation; it's just inexplicably possible]]. |
| 250 | * Holds contempt for [[EvilMentor mentors who turn out to be working for evil]] [[spoiler:as her own, Hyapathia, had been]], such as [[Pantheon/IntrovertFlaws Kreia]], Ali Al-Saachez, Orochimaru, Tobi, Madara Uchiha, [[Pantheon/VillainousRoles Gozaburo Kaiba]], Deathstroke, Palpatine, The Illusive Man, Master Xehanort, Vlad Masters, and Unalaq. |
| 251 | ** [[Pantheon/OutlooksOnLife Megamind]] is a strange case of this though, given [[AndThenWhat his state after]] [[spoiler:seemingly defeating Metro Man]], "raising" Titan so he can have a hero to fight, and then rising up to become a hero himself when Titan goes rogue. |
| 252 | * And then there's the deal with {{Stealth Mentor}}s, such as Ghaleon, whose idea of teaching the heroes is to pose as their adversary, though it helps that he technically didn't have a choice in working for the villain. However, it doesn't help that he was a legitimate enemy ([[WellIntentionedExtremist though well-meaning]]) in the distant past. She's still conflicted in regards to how she should treat him. |
| 253 | * Conversely, this also means she holds sympathy for those who had been under such mentors, such as [[Pantheon/HeroicArchetypes the Exile]], [[Pantheon/ExtrovertFlaws Setsuna F. Seiei]], [[Pantheon/OtherEmotions Domon Kasshu]], [[Pantheon/{{Plants}} Aki Izayoi]], Ben Solo/Kylo Ren, [[Pantheon/KingdomHearts Riku, Terra]], [[Pantheon/CombatSkill Gouken]] (who purged the murderous aspects of what he learned from his master to teach, then taught his own to Ryu and Ken), [[Pantheon/{{Thieves}} Yusuke Kitagawa]], [[Pantheon/AvatarTheLastAirbender Katara, and Bolin]]. |
| 254 | ** [[Pantheon/CharacterActions Chirin]] is a strange case, though, given it was him who initiated this relationship with Wor, became a ferocious beast, but ultimately slew his mentor, only to be forever branded an outcast by the sheep. |
| 255 | ** [[Pantheon/CharacterArchetypes Satoru Tojo/Kamen Rider Tiger]] is another special case, given he misinterpreted his mentor's "kill one, save a thousand" motto as [[spoiler:actually needing to kill people to save plenty more]]. At least he's making up for it now. |
| 256 | ** That said, she does not hold sympathy for those who take dark paths themselves, such as [[Pantheon/OffensivePowers Akuma]] and [[Pantheon/{{Piracy}} Risky Boots]]. |
| 257 | * Greatly opposes those who use robots as resources for stuff, just like [[spoiler:Archdruid Bob with his Moonjuice]], and Madame Gasket and Phineas Ratchet count for that in spades. The pair for their part are baffled at how an "outmode" is capable of doing so much more than most shiny upgraded robots with her magic, which by itself is another baffling concept they thought was exclusive to organic lifeforms. |

| 276 | * At first glance, Honey Kisaragi looks like a regular schoolgirl with a well-meaning, but mischievous disposition. In actuality, she is an android created by her father and after he’s murdered by the vicious organization known as Panther Claw, Honey learns the truth about herself and prepares to fight back against the group that killed her dad. With the help of a transformation device on her neck, Honey is able to transform into the sword-wielding Warrior of Love known as Cutie Honey. Not only that, she has access to a number of other transformations such as a biker, a singer, a stewardess, a camerawoman, a model, or whatever the situation calls for. |
| 277 | * One day, a girl wearing a white skin-tight outfit riding a motorcycle was sighted in the Pantheon, with her stating that she went there looking for anyone that might be causing trouble. While nothing major happened for a few hours, when night came, some monsters broke into a jewelry store and attacked the humans that were tasked with protecting the place. As they were prepared to make their escape, the girl from earlier caught up to them and after introducing herself and who she is, transformed into Cutie Honey and defeated the monsters. Some time after the incident, Honey learned what the Pantheon is and how crime and other problems are a regular part of the place. From there, Honey vowed to continue her crime-fighting duties there and ensure that evildoers get put in their place. |
| 278 | * With her gimmick of being a normal girl able to transform into a superheroine and giving out a speech or two to the criminals she’s about to fight, she can be considered a MagicalGirl even if she leans more towards a sci-fi angle than the fantasy slant of many others. It hasn’t stopped her from befriending many of the other magical girls present in the Pantheon. Usagi Tsukino is one of Honey’s closest friends and Honey is impressed with what Usagi and her friends have accomplished. Both have helped each other in fighting the various villains that threaten the Pantheon, with other members of the Sailor Senshi helping them out against the more dangerous threats. |
| 279 | ** It was through Usagi and the rest of the Sailor Warriors that Honey learned of the Magical Girl Sisterhood, a group of other magical girls dedicated to fighting evil wherever it may lurk. When Honey decided to visit the group at the Sailor Senshi’s request, she was surprised to learn just how many other magical girls are there and the members there saw Honey as a sort of motherly figure given how long she’s been fighting compared to them. Honey has offered to help the group out and has provided plenty of support for them. |
| 280 | * Honey has a few things in common with Ryuko Matoi in terms of motivation and superhuman capabilities. Both set out on their journey to avenge their murdered father at the hands of a criminal group and Ryuko has Life Fibers inside of her that make her superhuman much like how Honey is an android that can transform into various things. That said, Honey learning about her superhuman traits played a role in getting her adventure going while Ryuko didn’t find out about her being made of Life Fibers until much later in her quest. Both Honey and Ryuko hang out with each other and team up on a regular basis, with Honey enjoying the company of Ryuko’s best friend Mako Mankanshoku in their downtime. |
| 281 | * She managed to find a couple other friendly cyborgs in Androids 17 and 18, despite their names suggesting them to be androids. Initially, she was surprised to learn that the cyborgs’ relationship with their creator was very different from how Honey viewed Dr. Kisaragi. Honey was willing to listen to the duo’s story about their animosity towards their creator and learned just how dangerous Dr. Gero was. She also learned that they didn’t start off as purely heroic and that there was another (actual) android designed by Gero, Android 16, who didn’t last as long as 16 and 17. 16 was also modeled after Gero’s dead son and Honey was willing to sympathize with 16, given how she was based on Dr. Kisaragi’s dead daughter. |
| 282 | * Honey’s main enemy is Panther Claw, a criminal organization that wants valuable riches and has an assortment of themed enemies for her to fight against. While Honey initially wasn’t able to find Panther Claw itself in the Pantheon, she did learn of a similar organization that was far more dangerous named SHOCKER. While SHOCKER has mainly fought against Kamen Riders, the group greatly expanded its influence in the Pantheon and has a multitude of other villains lending their services to them. Regardless of whether or not SHOCKER in the Pantheon is aware of Panther Claw, Honey still sees SHOCKER as a vile criminal group that needs to be taken down no matter what and is aware that she’ll need plenty of help to bring about the organization’s downfall. The fact that they’re interested in her choker that allows her to transform has her concerned about what they could do if they had their hands on it. |
| 283 | * Before it got destroyed in an attack by Panther Claw, Honey attended a school, though she doesn’t really partake in the lessons there and sneaks out whenever possible. Much of the same is applied to the various schools in the Pantheon, including the House of Pantheon/{{School}}, though she is willing to fight back against anyone that threatens to destroy that place or other schools to avoid a repeat of what happened to her previous school. As for her time in the Pantheonic schools, she seems to enjoy making a fool out of the more mean-spirited teachers there. |
| 284 | * One of her more frequent disguises is to be a camerawoman so that she can spy on what her enemies are planning to do next. It helps that her most consistent ally, Seiji Hayami is a reporter, even if he is someone that Honey has to rescue more often than not. She then learned that the Pantheon not only has a number of reporters, but that they’re active in finding any sort of problem that can affect those they care about. As Flash Honey, she got herself acquainted with these reporters and found herself working alongside them in order to find any potential threats that can happen at a moment’s notice. Some of her frequent partners include Lois Lane, Jade, and Frank West (though Cutie Honey had to tell Frank that using his “Perfect Erotica” pics on her isn’t going to be much help). |
| 285 | * Senator Armstrong learned of another deity who was able to use nanomachines to their advantage and given how he was bested by a cyborg, was willing to use what he can to defeat Honey should he fight against her. Given his belief in strength above all else, Honey doesn’t think that highly of him and his motivations and is aware that fighting against him will be a challenge for her, especially since he’s more than willing to fight her if given the chance to do so. |
| 286 | * Despite referring to herself as the Warrior of Love, Honey doesn’t really have anything related to ThePowerOfLove. That said, Honey is a friendly girl and she will sometimes attempt to reason out with her enemies provided they haven’t done anything severe to warrant them being killed by her. Heart Aino thought that someone with a Warrior of Love title would be helpful in her overall motivation, but Honey stated that she’s only fighting against those who threaten the peace. Aino still admired Honey for who she is and Honey is friendly towards Aino, despite the fact that the kinds of villains Honey fights against are ones that Aino won’t be able to reach out to. |
| 287 | * Plenty of people are interested in Honey given her reputation for being an attractive girl. While she’s had some benevolent admirers, others such as arch-enemy Sister Jill have had a sexually unhealthy obsession towards her and there’s a couple of deities in the Pantheon that are after Honey for their own benefit. Akio Ohtori has attempted to win over Honey, but it became clear she wasn’t interested in him, especially after the two engaged in a swordfight and Akio lost due to Honey’s tactics. Embryo proved to be a bigger problem for Honey as he was someone that could overpower her easily if they met, not to mention his overall behavior and goals being something that revolted Honey once she learned more about him. |

[[TakingYouWithMe Unfortunately, from within her mirror, Queen Nehelenia retaliated by cursing the Silver Millennium to fall and that Princess Serenity would never ascend to the throne]]. Thanks to Queens Metalia, Beryl and the rest of the Dark Kingdom, Nehelenia’s curse came true. Due to being sealed in a mirror, Nehelenia survived the fall of the Silver Millennium. Eventually breaching the seal during a Solar Eclipse thousands of years later, she came across the Sailor Quartet, who were sleeping in Amazon Stones. Nehelenia awakened them prematurely and brainwashed them into becoming her Amazoness Quartet. She soon invaded and took over Elysion, corrupting the land with darkness before setting her sights on Earth. Queen Nehelenia is also one of the Chaos Spawn. |
| 334 | ** In the Anime, she used to be a benevolent queen. She dreamed of staying young forever and eventually looked in the mirror, which revealed her future as an ugly and old woman. [[GoMadFromTheRevelation She went mad and]] consumed the dreams of her subjects, [[WasOnceAMan turning them into]] [[TheHeartless Monsters called Lemures]]. Zirconia was created soon afterwards by Nehelenia’s fears of becoming ugly. She later formed the Dead Moon Circus. Since the Dark Moon wasn’t nearly as nice of a place to live as the Moon Kingdom, Queen Nehelenia sought to conquer it and take Queen Serenity’s place as the ruler of the Silver Millennium. When she learned of the Golden Crystal, she tried to retrieve it from Helios, but was unable to due to her evil intentions and was later sealed in a mirror of darkness by Queen Serenity. However, when the Dark Kingdom caused the Silver Millennium to fall, Nehelenia survived due to being sealed away. When the power of Elysion weakened due to people giving up on good dreams, Nehelenia reawakened, though she was still trapped in her mirror. She captured Helios and imprisoned him, forcing his spirit to flee for help. Later, her mirror was discovered by the Amazoness Quartet. She gave them mystical orbs to make them stronger and keep the four young and lovely forever. The Quartet agreed to work for her as her loyal subjects and minions. They soon tracked Helios’ spirit to Earth. During a Solar Eclipse, they arrived on Earth and began searching for the person whose dreams Helios was hiding in so they could take the Golden Crystal. They sought to spite their long dead enemies by taking control of Earth and turning it into a world of shadows, but to do this, they needed the Golden Crystal. |
| 335 | * It was a beautiful day in the Pantheon, when suddenly flowers began dying and people started getting sick. Eventually, some deities were sent out to try to discover what was causing this. They eventually located a circus tent, but before they could enter, over a dozen monsters barreled out and attacked them, with Zirconia leading them, telling the unfortunate deities to bring Sailor Moon there or else. A quick stop later, and the situation was explained to Sailor Moon. [[OhCrap Realizing who they were talking about]], she quickly gathered Mamoru and the Sailor Senshi before storming the Dead Moon Circus with the aid of some other deities. To their horror, during the chaos, Zirconia managed to free Queen Nehelenia from her mirror once more. While they eventually overcame the Dead Moon Circus, it was discovered afterwards that they had been sent an invitation to the Pantheon, which Zirconia and Queen Nehelenia gladly accepted. The Sailor Senshi and Mamoru later undid Nehelenia’s curse with the Golden Crystal. |
| 336 | * Applies to all of them: |
| 337 | ** Nehelenia was greatly displeased to find an enemy in Silicy, who is immune to all forms of physical magic. Fortunately for her, she hasn’t been much of a problem to people like the Amazoness Quartet and she’s perfectly willing to take care of her personally. This also applies to Illidan Stormrage and Kiritsugu Emiya. Illidan Stormrage doesn’t really care about any member of the Circus he faces, whether they are a child or not. Nehelenia isn't particularly worried about him as Palla Palla, the blue-haired member of the Amazoness Quartet, is already preparing ways to get rid of him, beginning with Voodoo Dolls like she tried to do to the Senshi. Kiritsugu Emiya is a similar case. While he was able to fight past Xenotime, Zeolite, the Amazon Trio and some MonstersOfTheWeek, he got clobbered by the Amazoness Quartet despite his power due to the many tricks and Lemures they had backing them up. |
| 338 | ** They have a good relationship with Professor Ludwig. While their goals conflict with his, the Circus sometimes lends him MonstersOfTheWeek to change up his carnival from time to time so visitors never know what to expect. They have a better relationship with the Klowns. Again, while their goals conflict, it isn't as bad as it is with Ludwig, and the Klowns have sometimes worked with the Circus since the organization ascended. |
| 339 | ** Yapool was very, very delighted to see a spawn of Chaos who can create MonstersOfTheWeek ascend, let alone with her whole organization along for the ride. They have been working with each other to spruce up both the Dead Moon's Lemures and Yapool's Choju in order to make them more dangerous, powerful and ruthless. |
| 340 | ** The Emperor of Mankind was very enraged to see a spawn of Chaos ascend as that means dealing with it will be that much harder. Not only that, but the actions Nehelenia has committed [[EveryoneHasStandards are atrocious to him]], such as brainwashing the Sailor Quartet into her minions. He wants to take down The Dead Moon Circus for good and save the Amazoness Quartet from their horrible fate, possibly intending on ascending them under a different trope once all is said and done. |
| 341 | ** Chibiusa was VERY unhappy to learn that Nehelenia and her faction had returned, but was even more pissed when she learned that they brought the Amazoness Quartet along with them, brainwashed once again. Chibiusa wants to free them from their brainwashing and restore them to the heroes she knows they are. [[OhCrap The four are interested in potentially turning their Quartet into a Quintet...and they seem to have their sights set on her]]. |
| 342 | * Applies to Queen Nehelenia: |
| 343 | ** As one of the Chaos Spawn, Nehelenia is exceptionally gifted in magic. It’s so powerful, she can affect other dimensions with it, which effectively makes sealing her away null. YHVH learned this when he inflicted her with a FateWorseThanDeath, only for her to [[DisproportionateRetribution curse many members of the GUAL to die]]. [[DeathIsCheap They got better.]] Chaos was amused that he thought he could deal with one of its creations so easily and freed a totally unfazed Nehelenia from her fate. |
| 344 | ** A major BerserkButton for Queen Nehelenia is when she is pitied by another, ESPECIALLY if they remind her of Sailor Moon. When she heard Madoka and Sora sympathized with her past, she had a VillainousBreakdown. |
| 345 | --> '''Queen Nehelenia:''' "[[DontYouDarePityMe Those eyes again...Don't look at me with such eyes!]]" |
| 346 | ** What she does to those who pity her afterward was made clear when she brainwashed Mamoru, forcibly ''[[HeroKiller wiping Chibiusa from existence]].'' Madoka and Sora were quite horrified to learn this, as this means those closest to them, everyone they care about, are now being targeted. |
| 347 | --> '''Queen Nehelenia:''' "I will guide everything you love to destruction." |
| 348 | ** After what she did to the GUAL, Queen Nehelenia quickly became TheDreaded. She simply smirked at her newfound reputation. However, what she managed to do while condemned to AFateWorseThanDeath has gotten Homura Akemi concerned. Namely due to her being able to use some of her abilities even while sealed away and how whenever she loses, she’ll usually hit back twice as hard the next time. |
| 349 | ** Met with Queen Beryl and they both agree Sailor Moon needs to be taught a hard lesson. Queen Beryl is impressed with how she went about trying to defeat them, even successfully [[HeroKiller killing Usagi’s]] [[WouldHurtAChild child]] [[ForcedToWatch in front of her]]. They’ve struck up an alliance, something that displeased Sailor Moon, Mamoru and the rest of the Sailor Senshi. |
| 350 | *** She eventually learned about Queen Beryl’s hatred of SHOCKER and sought out their Great Leader personally. They eventually met and while they got off on the wrong foot, even battling each other at first and destroying some of the Houses in the crossfire, the two eventually learned to respect each other as rivals, especially when they learned that they had common enemies in Kamen Riders and the Sailor Senshi. |
| 351 | ** Went through a mental shutdown at the hands of Goro Akechi. [[StatusQuoIsGod She got better.]] [[DisproportionateRetribution She has since decided to start giving his allies cruel deaths by rapidly]] [[DeathByDeaging deaging them]] [[DisproportionateRetribution and causing brain death via]] MindRape. When he confronted her directly, [[DidntThinkThisThrough she offered to do to him what she did to the Sailor Quartet that turned them into the Amazoness Quartet]]. [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere He ran away immediately]]. |
| 352 | ** Don't be fooled by her rank. Her curse technique is capable of affecting beings much stronger than herself. She taught this to YHVH when she cursed nearly every member of the GUAL, leaving only Overdeities unaffected, and even then some of them were affected by the attack. YHVH has decided to be more careful with her. Lucifer was amused to hear that one person managed to nearly dismantle YHVH's alliance with one attack, though was quick to realize she would do the same to him if provoked and has begun taking precautions. Fortunately for Lucifer, he has time to prepare, as her ire seems focused on The Sailor Senshi, Madoka Kaname, Sora and YHVH at the moment. |
| 353 | ** Uses the Heartless to further her own ends. Due to being a spawn of the embodiment of nothingness, she is better at controlling them than most beings in the Pantheon, even being able to affect some of the stronger ones. She is completely aware of the risks and is very confident she can quash any of their attempts to betray her using magic. Sora, despite pitying her for her past, notices her similarities to not only Maleficent, but the Evil Queen as well, going as far as to saying that Queen Nehelenia is what you'd get if you combined the two into one being. He has started opposing her, as have the other heroic Keyblade Wielders. |
| 354 | ** She eventually met with the Rule of Beauty, taking a liking to the Evil Queen and Queen Sectonia almost immediately, noticing their similarities and desire to get revenge on all who cross them. She doesn't particularly care for Kuja, Vega and Courtney Gears, though Queen Sectonia offered her an invitation to the group, which Nehelenia accepted without a second thought. |
| 355 | ** The Inducers of Nightmares took notice of Queen Nehelenia as well. They recognized her powerful capabilities of causing nightmares, having trapped everyone on Earth in them. Vaermina once came to her and offered her an invitation to join their group as well, knowing she was already a part of both the Pantheon/GrandUnitedAllianceOfEvil and The Rule Of Beauty. She accepted her offer, though told her that when she isn't available, Zirconia will be taking her place, which is something Vaermina was completely okay with. |
| 356 | ** She also met with The Sorceress and Mother Gothel. They were both impressed by Queen Nehelenia's track record, the former liking her success at brainwashing children for her own ends, defeating nearly all of her enemies and wiping a child from existence by brainwashing her father and the latter for the lengths Nehelenia would go through to stay young and get back at those who wronged her. They were both surprised by the power Nehelenia wields and were jealous she managed to get her entire organization into the Pantheon, as unlike them, she has an army of monsters at her beck and call. Fortunately for the two, Nehelenia is quite fond of them and won't attack them unless provoked. |
| 357 | ** Gabriel Belmont hates her for the fact that she goes after everyone who pities her. He believes she’ll soon go after Madoka and plans on getting rid of her for good. Little does he know, she plans on torturing her by disposing of her loved ones and those close to her, which includes him. He actually managed to render her DeaderThanDead at one point. Queen Nehelenia has been out for his blood ever since. |
| 358 | ** Queen Nehelenia is powerful enough to trap dimensional travelers. She can trap them in other dimensions, leaving them unable to escape despite their abilities that would usually allow them to do so. This is something the unascended Helios can attest to, him having been trapped himself and turned into a Pegasus, with his spirit being forced to flee from both his body and the dimension his physical form was trapped in, going to Earth to search for help. |
| 359 | ** Malygos and Kalecgos, due to being Aspects Of Magic, were pissed at Nehelenia for the mass curse incident, the former more than the latter due to being a part of the Pantheon/GrandUnitedAllianceOfLaw. Kalecgos is pissed about her curse ability and how powerful it is, as well as how she uses it and other magic for evil purposes. |
| 360 | ** Usalia HATES curses. After her experiences with Majorita, she seems to have a hatred of those who use them. Nehelenia is no different, and much to her frustration, Usalia developed an immunity to curses. She was more pissed when she found that Usalia was highly resistant to magic and has begun developing plans to counter her. |
| 361 | * Applies to the Amazoness Quartet: |
| 362 | ** Got along with the [[EvilIsHammy Hammy]] Ginyu Force, the two teams sometimes joining forces to deal blows to their enemies. Frieza doesn't mind, as [[PragmaticVillainy the more information he can get about potential threats, whether they are allies or enemies, then the better]]. They also like the Psycho Rangers and they sometimes team up against their foes as well. [[TheDreaded The Pantheon dreads the day the three teams join forces and attack together]]. |
| 363 | *** Palla Palla became good friends with Nui Harime, her introducing the girl to the rest of the Quartet. They were unnerved by her as they found Nui to be even creepier than Palla Palla. This says something as even Zirconia is creeped out by her...so like Cere Cere, Ves Ves and Juno Juno, she is disturbed by Nui. Ryuko has expressed her pity for what had been done to the girls and after learning of their alliance with Nui, has sworn to help get them free from Nehelenia's control. |
| 364 | * Applies to the Amazon Trio: |
| 365 | ** Being [[PunchClockVillain Punch-Clock Villains]], the three often hang out at the bar within their circus when not on the job. However, they have found another haunt in the form of Moe's Tavern, the three frequently visiting there when off the job at times when Zirconia and the Quartet become too difficult for them to tolerate. |
| 366 | ** Many deities have tried to remind the Trio, more specifically Fish Eye, of what friends really mean. They intend to break the news of them actually being transformed animals to them slowly, but some of the more cruel deities have tried to do this immediately...they are usually met with a [[ManipulativeBastard very, very unamused]] [[BadBoss Zirconia]]. |
| 367 | * Applies to Xenotime and Zeolite: |
| 368 | ** They love Joker and Molag Bal. The two are very experienced in corruption, so Xenotime and Zeolite flocked to them. They get along spectacularly with Joker and Molag Bal, them all seeking to corrupt other members of the Pantheon to do evil, with some [[HopeCrusher Hope Crushing]] in the process, courtesy of the spawn of Pierrot. |
| 369 | * [[MadnessMantra "Never ever forget to remember, a child's dream is a dream forever. Never ever forget to remember, a child's dream is a dream forever. Never ever forget to remember, a child's dream is a dream forever.”]] |

| 387 | * Len ascended when the court of gods viewed her abilities to [[DreamWeaver shape the dreams of others]] [[CatsAreMagic while in the form of a cat.]] |
| 388 | ** When they told Len that the court of the gods was ascending her, they knew she was fine with it, [[IntelligibleUnintelligible even though Len didn't say anything.]] |
| 389 | * The other [[VisualNovel/FateStayNight servants]] of the pantheon are jealous of Len because she is able to replenish her mana without needing her master. |
| 390 | * Len rather likes being with Mako, Mirai, Yoruichi, Luna, Sanya and Azusa because they all contain a lot of imagery to a black cat. Especially Yoruichi and Luna because they can also transform into a black cat. |
| 391 | ** She doesn't like Bernkastel however, despite being able to do the same thing, [[CompleteMonster for]] [[{{Troll}} obvious]] [[NeutralEvil reasons]]. |
| 392 | * From the exceedingly rare times when Len has spoken, the other deities have noticed that [[Creator/KaoriMizuhashi she sounds like multiple other deities]] including, but not limited to: Yagyuu, Vivio Takamachi, Mami Tomoe, Navi and Laharl. |
| 393 | ** Len doesn't like sounding like Laharl because she finds him annoying. |
| 394 | * Morrigan and Lillith Aensland enjoy teasing Len for not using her abilities as a succubus to make people fall in love with her. Len thinks that they would get tired of it considering that Len never reacts to them. |
| 395 | * Len is allied with Ysera and Gardevoir because all of them are able to [[DreamWeaver manipulate the dreams of others.]] |
| 396 | * Some of the deities who were once emotionless such as Haruka Kotoura, Colette Brunel and Presea Combatir are nervous around Len because they were once like her and feel like they are looking at their past selves. But they don't dislike her. |
| 397 | * Len avoids the Halls of Lustful Acts and Lustful Behavior ever since she read a doujin where Shiki tried to molest her and still did it ''even after transforming into a cat''. Shiki has since assured her that he would never do that, but Len still avoids the lust-centric Halls anyway. |
| 398 | * The other gods have noted that after [[Anime/CarnivalPhantasm that one time]] when Len, Caster and Souichirou were together, the three of them look like a happy family when they're together. They've also noted that Len looks like a younger version of Caster. |
| 399 | ** Caster once toyed with the idea of adopting Len. Len has yet to comment. [[CuteMute Or maybe she has and no one has noticed.]] |

I AM!]]"'''[[/note]] is a [[YoungerThanTheyLook twenty-something]] Egyptian and Stand User. Skilled in tarot cards, fortune-telling and magic, he would become friends with Joseph Joestar and the two would be the first to learn of Dio Brando's re-appearance. Stern and serious yet not without his jovial side, he would become a key part in the eventual defeat of the Joestar's greatest enemy. |
| 420 | * When he entered the Pantheon, the first one to greet him with a big hug was his best friend Jean-Pierre Polnareff. For this moment, Avdol returned the hug and said that maybe this time they're not going to separate again. |
| 421 | * Avdol is somewhat unique in that unlike his allies, [[NothingPersonal he doesn't have any personal connection to Dio Brando]]; he simply wanted to make sure a powerful evil can no longer threaten the world. Now that the two of them have returned to the land of the living through the Trope Pantheon, he's preparing for a rematch. He's decided to get Sakuya Izaoi's help, since her FlechetteStorm and [[TimeStandsStill time stopping]] will serve as a match for Dio's own knife-throwing and Stand. |
| 422 | * His Stand is Magician's Red, a humanoid bird with power over fire. He can manipulate fire, tie his opponents down with it and serve as a heat radar. His special is Crossfire Hurricane, bringing forth a great storm of flaming ankhs. You can see him testing it out in the House of Fire and Heat, however, it's hard to compare since non-Stand users can't see his Stand. |
| 423 | * Rumor had spread that he is of the belief that [[WebVideo/JoJosBizarreAdventureAbridged the only way to defeat any antagonistic force is to burn it]]. Many HotBlooded gods agree with this philosophy, but there are many gods that are wary of this idea. |
| 424 | ** The House of Pantheon/{{Craft}} offered to put the phrase "I have learned that the only way to x is to burn it" (which he had supposedly said) onto a T-Shirt. But many of them were worried what he'd do when that T-Shirt gets hole or becomes too small, Avdol assured them he won't, saying "No. I never said that to begin with." For this reason, the t-shirts were made ''without'' association to Avdol. |
| 425 | * He's a fortune teller, and while many Stand users during the 1980s named their Stands after tarots he specializes in the cards themselves. You can find him working in the House of Prophecy, though he's not nearly as efficient at it as Madame Xanadu. He's competing with her in the business of fortune-telling, but the two are ultimately friends towards each other. |
| 426 | * [[WhatCouldHaveBeen He would've stayed dead against J.Geil]], were he not SavedByTheFans; him and Leon get along with that.[[spoiler: Ultimately he'd still get killed off, [[BlackDudeDiesFirst the first Joestar team member to die]] thanks to Vanilla Ice.]] Understandably he's no fan of the SphereOfDestruction, leading him to opposes the Nothing Card. And due to his experience with J.Geil, he hates Jagi. |
| 427 | * No fan of Calypso, because of his battle with [[JackassGenie Cameo]]. |
| 428 | * Returning to his native Egypt, he plans to deal with some of the strange events and villains there. For this reason, he has allied himself with both Yugis and Rishid. Trying to stop Apocalypse, and is working with the GUAG's magic users. |
| 429 | * Was surprised to not be the only Egyptian fortune teller after he personally met Menat. She considers him to be her older SpearCounterpart and the two seem to have a sibling-like relationship and they aren't rivals when it comes to fortune telling |
| 430 | * Gets incredibly irate [[WebVideo/JoJosBizarreAdventureAbridged whenever someone uses Muslim stereotypes or refers to 9/11]]. Eric Cartman ended up on the bad end of Magician's Red when he tried to interrogate him for "terrorism". And don't say that he goes to [=McDonalds=] when he dies. On a lighter note, he gets annoyed whenever someone makes jokes about [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BEQMXjN8mxU the time he and Joseph got stuck together]]; [[NotWhatItLooksLike they were magnetized, not trying to bang]]. |
| 431 | * He doesn't like the fact [[Creator/KentaMiyake he sounds like]] [[Pantheon/{{Goals}} Cyrus]] or [[Pantheon/{{Demons}} Nosferatu Zodd]]. However, he's perfectly fine that [[Creator/MasashiEbara he sounds like]] [[Pantheon/PhysicalAppearance Van Hohenheim]], and hopes to learn more about alchemy to help fight evil. |

| 453 | * The Greybeards are an ancient, religious organization in Skyrim who make their home in Mount Hrothgar, located at the Throat of the World. Currently led by the elder Arngeir, the group consists of several elderly and venerable individuals who took to learning the Dragon’s tongue and language, the Thu’um, they follow a pacifistic creed that their legendary powers be used mainly for respecting the deities of Tamriel and to mediate and control their powers as much as they could, hence their decision to be based high up in the mountains. They await for the day the Last Dragonborn comes into being whereupon they will take it upon themselves to mentor and train the warrior in refining and mastering the Thu’um in the hopes that he would be prepared to duel against the renegade dragon god, Alduin. Throughout his progress, the Dovahkiin would be told that Arngeir is merely the figurehead for the Greybeards; the true leader and grandmaster of the religious order was actually a dragon named Paarthurnax and unlike most of his kin, he was an affable being who instead desires to help the Dragonborn. |
| 454 | ** Paarthurnax was one of the oldest draconic beings created by Akatosh. The direct brother of Alduin, he served as his sibling’s direct lieutenant in trying to devastate and subjugate humanity into submission and slavery under their rule. However, Paarthurnax began to feel that Alduin was taking too far in his desire for conquest and expressed remorse and shame over enabling his brother to terrorize the world. As his way of atonement, he decided to discreetly teach mankind the Thu’um so that they could combat their oppressors in equal measure, eventually succeeding in vanishing Alduin. Despite this, Paarthurnax’s guilt lingered and he decided to retreat to the Throat of the World to live in exile, though not without adopting the Way of the Voice and establishing a friendship with the Greybeards’ founder, Jurgen Windcaller. He would wait for thousands of years until the Last Dragonborn would turn up, with Paarthurnax offering him as much wisdom and training as he could in the hopes that the Dovahkiin could finally defeat Alduin. Ultimately successful, Paarthurnax would keep on tabs with the Last Dragonborn and look forward to a better future for Skyrim, even if he feels unsure about himself and Alduin’s fate. |
| 455 | * With the Dragonborn’s ascension into the Pantheon, Paarthurnax and the Greybeards were invited into the divine realms as his personal heralds, which helped greatly as Paarthurnax acted as a mediator to convince many, especially other dragons, that the Dovahkiin wasn't a mindless dragon hunter who sought extinction towards their kind, even if the warrior himself has a code to only hunt down malicious and hostile dragons if necessary. So it came as a shock to the organization when they were told of their ascension by Cosmos, whom the Dragonborn had a friendly relationship with and the goddess was interested and impressed by Paarthurnax’s wisdom as well as his feat of aiding someone to reach their potential as well as overcoming his vices. The dragon remained humble as he believed that his recognition in the Pantheon should less be about him and the Greybeards being celebrated and about how they may be needed for a new world. He and Arngeir believed that Alduin isn't the primary reason for their ascension, despite their awareness of the World Eater’s presence in the Pantheon, but they do feel that they may be required as mediators for dragons as well as beings like them. The Greybeards have made it clear about their decision to remain isolated, believing that their powers are too dangerous to be left exposed for others to witness, but they do accept anyone into their domain so long as their intentions are clear and just, plus Paarthurnax wants to make sure their domain is protected and respected. And though he may be a force for good at the moment, the dragon does feel a sense of unease about whether most of the Pantheon are willing to accept his redemption given his past crimes against humanity for his role as Alduin's lieutenant. Things were eased with the presence of the Septim rulers, Uriel and Martin, who were quick to befriend Arngeir and Paarthurnax and seek to work alongside each other for a better future Tamriel and the Pantheon if possible, though with the Greybeards being content to watch over events for now, the Septim heirs do respect their decision. |
| 456 | * As practitioners of the Thu’um, the Greybeards are capable of exhibiting great power simply by speaking the draconic language. They can breathe fire, distort space, blast through the fabric of hair, call down lightning and meteors, and much more, but given the devastating might of these shouts, the Greybeards secluded themselves to make sure they don't harm anyone with their voice, even if they maintain great control and restraint over them. Those aside, the organization is humble and polite towards others and as practitioners of the Way of the Voice, they are pacifists who prefer not to fight or have their teachings used for combat and warfare, though they are capable of fighting back if necessary. Despite their exclusivity and their reclusiveness, those who learn about the Greybeards in the Pantheon hold a good opinion towards them as they’re all affable men who simply want the divine realms to be prosperous. As for Paarthurnax, he initially felt more reclusive than the Greybeards, but since the organization’s ascension, he’s since had to make his presence known a bit more, an arduous task as he still felt that dragons are terrifying creatures feared by all, himself included. Yet, he was surprised by how he’s had a growing approval in the Pantheon for a few reasons. Still, Paarthurnax would prefer having intellectual talks with anyone who intrigues him over fighting, even if he’s proven to be a formidable fighter. |
| 457 | * It didn't take long for the Greybeards to see themselves learning about the Pantheon, even if their pace was rather slow due to their isolated nature, though their contact with the Dovahkiin has ensured they are up to speed with critical events and circumstances. While their tabs on Alduin is their biggest priority, the Greybeards are also keen to understand other worlds and their inhabitants, but because of how they operate, they're the ones who need guests, for they must come directly to High Hrothgar, a task that seems quite hard given its placement on a high mountain. Fortunately, they have had guests attending them, with all of them being heroes and benevolent warriors who came to learn about the organization either through the Dragonborn or word of mouth. Cosmos and her personal emissary, the Warrior of Light, are a frequent guest, with the goddess’s wisdom and the latter’s chivalry offering several topics for Arngeir and Paarthurnax to converse on. The reformed dragon sometimes talks to Cosmos in private, for he is aware of her nature as a manakin and commends Cosmos for proving herself resilient to fight against her nature. While it's not something she likes to think about, Cosmos appreciates Paarthurnax’s sentiments and his level of wisdom. The Warrior of Light also draws comparison to the Dovahkiin in being a noble and powerful warrior, though his staunch loyalty towards Cosmos, while admittedly respectable, does lead the organization to wonder whether the warrior would be willing to defy Cosmos should it be the right thing to do, a question that he finds quite hard to find a response to. |
| 458 | * In contrast to the Dragons of Tamriel who were primarily destruction-driven beasts and inherently divine via their ancestry from Akatosh, dragons in the Pantheon were incredibly diverse; some were simply animals, albeit territorial ones, while others were benevolent forces or just as malicious as Alduin. They also came in different sizes, shapes and adaptations, if wyverns, drakes, and wyrms were of any indication. In contrast to the Dragonborn who had to earn his goodwill towards whatever good-hearted dragons he encountered, Paarthurnax was accepted much more quickly, with Cosmos’s relationship with him being a big benefit in that. Falkor and Spyro were prime examples of how a dragon can choose to be good, which vindicated Paarthurnax’s belief of how one could overcome their vices while the antics and unique friendship of Hiccup Horrendous and his Night Fury steed, Toothless, showed how a human-dragon is possible and the Greybeards were surprised by how different dragons were in the divine realms. To consolidate their newfound alliances, these kind-hearted dragons are allowed visitations to High Hrothgar with Arngeir and Paarthurnax being open to talking to them about the Dragons of Skyrim and opening up the possibility of expanding on a coalition between humans and draconic kind. |
| 459 | * Dragons are often a symbol of power and, in several other worlds, were generally seen as deities, a fact that the Greybeards are familiar with given Alduin and Akatosh’s reputation and nature as such. As a result, they quickly understood the situation between Io, Bahamut, and Tiamat and while the Greybeards maintained contact with the former two, with Bahamut being eager to cooperate in a potential dragon-human coalition, Tiamat proved a troublesome foe, not helped by how she believed Paarthurnax was weak for choosing humans over his own kin, though the redeemed dragon likens the dragon chimaera's ambition for destruction a bit too similar to Alduin’s. Mila and Duma, the dragon deities of Valentia, were immediate figures of interest, especially as Paarthurnax found Mila quite peculiar given her representation of compassion and nurture while he understood Duma’s drive for battle and conquest. The fact that morality was a blurred line made for quite the philosophical talk with the two as the reformed dragon recounted his past experiences and mused whether their teachings would be refined upon by their governing successors, Alm and Celica. Mila and Duma would admit that their conversation with a fellow dragon-like Paarthurnax allowed them to express themselves about several matters they would otherwise keep hidden from their worshippers and his affable demeanour meant that the divine siblings enjoyed his company, even if Duma wished he could fight against Paarthurnax and the Dovahkiin if mainly to prove their warrior might, which Paarthurnax addressed that there will come a time, though it would be better spent proving this towards their enemies. |
| 460 | * Of course, the organization has kept track of the more malicious and predatory dragons. While a constant is their power and their intelligence, Paarthurnax does respect the resilience of the animalistic ones like Rathalos, Rathian, and Nergigante while acknowledging them as dire threats due to their territorial nature and dietary habits. The Greybeards also acknowledge them as forces of nature rather than evil beings but don't feel the need to combat them as they tend to be taken care of by warriors and hunters either way. With someone like Smaug, Sindragosa, and Grima, they take umbrage as, in addition to being malicious, dragons like him are quite eager to terrorize civilization and cause destruction, and the Greybeards are willing to fight them outside of High Hrothgar if the situation presents itself as incredibly severe. They do have some intrigue towards mass destroyers like King Ghidorah, Fatalis, and Deathwing, if mainly because their motives align strongly with Alduin’s original purpose. On a further note, they, as well as Paarthurnax, have a degree of pity towards Fatalis if its reasons for hating humans via hunting Elder Dragons in the past are to be considered, but they’re also aware that the Legend of Schrade has to be stopped. With Ghidorah and Deathwing, they’re much less sympathetic as the former is an invasive monster who desires to kill while the Black Scourge has a level of ambition and arrogance and equals the World Eater's and the Greybeards are adamant that Deathwing needs to be stopped as his destruction for the world and the Pantheon stems from a narcissistic entitlement for bloodshed. |
| 461 | * The Pantheon had a population of people who befriended dragons and used them as mounts as well as those who hunted them down for reasons varying from earning a bounty to simply trying to stop a threat from blooming out of control. When it came to tamers and riders, Caim and Angelus were controversial for the two shared a bitter hatred and had no intention of having a relationship with the Greybeards as they believed their pacifistic ways did nothing to help Skyrim or the Pantheon, though Paarthurnax pitied their circumstances and wonders how Caim intends to pursue his life in the divine realms now that he was in a more idealistic world as well as managing his violent insanity. The Targeryans, a noble family famed for their use of dragons as mounts were not as well-received either as the Greybeards felt they preferred to use them as tools for domination and destruction and considering how Daenerys chose to raze King's Landing out of revenge and self-vindication, they raised a good point, even if Paarthurnax sympathizes with her plights and one day seeks a conversation with her as he is aware that Daenerys was once an honorable woman who sought good intentions. |
| 462 | ** Among the slayers, there was a [[VideoGame/SeventhDragon particular set of dragon slayers who came from a world where dragons were entirely malignant, malevolent creatures]], hence they're overwhelmed by their newfound habit of having to deal with benign and benevolent. They were rattled by Paarthurnax having served Alduin before, though the redeemed dragon did question if they wanted to kill him and if they expected something out of it. Those dragon hunters did acknowledge that while they were unsure of what to think or do, they did know that killing Paarthurnax would not grant them any favours, plus he did seem secluded and make an earnest effort to hold back his power and destructive nature. The dragon himself admitted that those dragon hunters are quite similar to the Blades, though as they felt and acted a lot more kinder and personable than either Delphine or Esbern, he and the Greybeards thought that they may be more reasonable and accepting than the Blades. The Monster Hunters have encountered the Greybeards thanks to their working relationship with the Dovahkiin and, as such, came to respect them and Paarthurnax for their wisdom and desire to be accepted for their cause. While the Greybeards can't teach the hunters the Thu'um, they did allow them to study it if it meant them devising ways to deal with hostile dragons, but they also affirmed that the hunters do not use them for self-gain. Paarthurnax also finds the hunters' odd quirks quite amusing and likes to reference them during his conversations with them, though he's just as eager to tell them about his circumstances and what they could learn from him. |
| 463 | * The Greybeards are very keen towards heroes from medieval lands and, should they prove their worth, they can be granted entry to High Hrothgar as honored guests. One of their first visitors came from a sextet of kids and their companion Unicorn, Uni, who ended up stumbling across their settlement, but the Greybeards were kind enough to allow them shelter and food. Their reaction was a colourful one, with Eric being a bit loud about how High Hrothgar was boring while Bobby and Presto were enthusiastic about the Greybeards for their power and history respectively. They initially withheld telling the group about Paarthurnax out of fear of scaring the kids, though a sudden attack from Alduin caused the redeemed dragon to turn up and repel the World Eater with the Dovahkiin’s help. Although the kids were startled and freaked out by how a dragon was the secret leader of the Greybeards, Arngeir affirmed that the Old One meant no harm. After that, the kids got to befriend Paarthurnax rather quickly, with the dragon showing a degree of snark to humor them as well as offering some words of insight. He openly respected Hank and Diana for their warrior spirits, Sheila and Presto for their kind heart and inquisitiveness, and Eric and Bobby for their resilience and capacity for growth, and argued that Uni will one day grow up to become a loyal, capable mount and companion. Since then, the child adventurers have remained good friends with the Greybeards and they’re one of the first groups the kids will seek companionship with in case their spirits are down. |
| 464 | ** With other heroes of fantasy and medieval lands, the Greybeards have a measure of respect for heirs like Marth, Aragorn, and King Arthur, seeing them as the very leaders Skyrim deserved to have. Other heirs like Peach and Sofia Balthazar were noted and praised for their kind hearts and all five of them quickly got along with both Arngeir and Paarthurnax for their good intentions and the latter simply having a good time conversing with them about several topics to keep his guests educated and entertained. The Pevensie Siblings were similarly interested in the Greybeards, with Arngeir having talks with Peter about establishing a connection between Skyrim and Narnia at some point while Paarthurnax greatly respected the siblings’ valour and was admittedly very favourable of Lucy for her innocence and optimism, with the dragon eager to encourage the girl to keep strong and resilient should she want to use her kindness for a greater cause. Tyrion and Teclis, Ulthuan’s High Elven monarchy were also invited for a formal alliance due to their reputation as defenders and peacekeepers as well as their race’s reputation of having dragons as mounts, with Teclis in particular intrigued by the Thu’um and wishing to study more about it in his spare time. Finally, Sigmar the God-Emperor and Karl Franz made their efforts to establish a working relationship with the Greybeards and while both acknowledge Paarthurnax's past crimes, they are willing to allow the dragon a chance for redemption, plus Sigmar was adamant that with greater threats arriving in the Pantheon, now is a better time for new alliances whether possible. He and Karl also took the Dragon's words to account regarding his critique of their Empire and they’re keen on making sure to improve upon it. |
| 465 | ** The organization are also observant towards [[TheChosenOne those dictated by destiny to bring great change]] and desires to not just establish relations, but also foster a friendship with them as it would mean a stronger alliance as well as understanding towards them. This was a reason for their friendship with Link and Princess Zelda, in addition to them already being allies with the Dragonborn, with Zelda telling them that they shouldn't be afraid of visiting Hyrule, though Paarthurnax is hesitant as he suspects that Hylians might be wary about dragons, much less one with a terrible past like him. Alm and Celica were also on a similar boat as they had a familial experience with dragons and appreciated the Greybeards’ humbleness and Paarthurnax’s wisdom, with Celica telling him that he can prove his redemption and that he, Arngeir, and the others are welcome to visit Valentia as guests. It helps that the Greybeards are on speaking terms with Mila and Duma, with Paarthurnax having a decent level of understanding for both of them. Finally, the Greybeards have developed an interest in members of the Jedi Order, especially Luke Skywalker for being its restorer and a figure to balance out the Force. While Luke was quite humble and affirming that the prophetic figure was specifically his father, the Greybeards and Paarthurnax protested that Luke still proved otherwise to be just as capable of the title. The dragon and the Jedi have since engaged in a number of conversations and admit that they enjoy each other’s company, with Luke recommending that Paarthurnax may offer some words to his father in The future, which the Old One has kept in mind. |
| 466 | * The organization caught track of many grave dangers and foes in the Pantheon and while they don't intervene much due to their desire for solitude and personal tranquillity, they do hold some opinions and critical judgment towards them. With someone like Ganondorf and Griffith, Paarthurnax wonders whether they had any choice in the matter of their lives given it was destiny that dictated the two into becoming great evils. The dragon and Arngeir pity them whilst also condemning them for their actions, seeing them as disproportionate and abhorrent in their level of depravity, though Paarthurnax confides that the topic surrounding those two does interest him in a moral and ideological sense. Malekith and Lolth remind them of the Thalmur; elitist and vicious elves obsessed with dominance and their ego, but where Malekith still elicited some sympathy and intrigue in that he tamed dragons for his purposes, Lolth was simply a monster craving destruction and supremacy bar none and there was nothing but contempt from Paarthurnax and the Greybeards, though the Witch-King would duly note that he has no patience for their pity and that they’re lazy for not doing anything to help Skyrim, relying on the Dovahkiin as a sort of crutch for their means. Additionally, many of these medieval evils were quite reminiscent of Alduin in a sense; wanting power and domination at the expense of everyone around, and with several examples like Sauron, the Lannisters and Boltons, and Nagash, it's not hard to see why. While the Greybeards consider them threats that need to be stopped, they also note that worldly destruction is ultimately inevitable yet this wouldn't stop them from taking action if they ever dared to threaten High Hrothgar. |
| 467 | * The concept of [[OmnicidalManiac an individual desiring or wanting the destruction of everything]] isn't something the Greybeards wholly oppose, even if they also think one’s life is important and should perform to their fullest in their mortal shells. In addition to Skyrim, they also believe that the Pantheon being destroyed to make way for a newer, potentially better iteration is justified if prophecy says so. If there is any opposition, it's either if said destruction is not on a scheduled mandate, or if there is nothing to gain from it other than fulfilling the perpetrator’s self-centered wishes. The two most interesting destroyers in the eyes of the Greybeards were Archon the Everchosen and Odio, Lord of Dark, who were either predestined or manipulated into abandoning their goodness and embracing the thought that life and hopes were fruitless and that destruction was the only choice that mattered. Paarthurnax cites Archaon and Odio as examples that even the best of people can sometimes succumb to evil and destruction, but given the uncontrollable circumstances they were thrown in that ensured their villainy, the redeemed dragon felt pity for them. At least Odio has redeemed himself and is reflecting on what he could consider doing in the Pantheon, in addition to having a few talks with Paarthurnax that he found quite introspective. Archaon, on the other hand, has no such patience or intent for “philosophical dribble” and sees the dragon and the Greybeards as orderly failures who deserve to die for their complacency. The Everchosen once attacked High Hrothgar, one of the few times where the Greybeards displayed their offensive powers and were it not for the Dragonborn’s interference as well as a call from a mysterious voice, Archaon would have killed the Greybeards and Paarthurnax. The Everchosen cites the Dovahkiin as a {{worthy opponent}}, but does assure that he intends to finish off Paarthurnax and his followers at a later point. |
| 468 | * The Greybeards and the Dovahkiin are not the only ones with the ability to generate superpowered screams or conjure spells through speaking. With the former, they learned of a surprising figure in Tigrex, a famed wyvern known for its ability to generate a roar so powerful and loud it physically damages anyone close to its vicinity. And while a Tigrex isn't a malicious creature, it was a dangerous one, though the Greybeards are keen to learn more about similar wyverns and express some martial respect for the Dragonborn being able to challenge and defeat some. With the latter, there were several beings in the House of Pantheon/MagicAndSorcery such as Zatanna and Doctor Strange who were skilled with their use of vocabulary to cast incantations. The organization was quite curious, yet skeptical of Zatanna due to her occupation as a stage performer yet Paarthurnax found it quite appealing to see magic being used as a platform for entertaining others with the magician superhero finding their company quite comforting thanks to the dragon's wise nature and his curiosity for learning about worlds beyond Skyrim. With Stephen Strange, he has a more traditional relationship with the Greybeards and while the doctor would wish they were more active in protecting their world, he respects their desire for solitude. Strange also likes having conversations with Paarthurnax regarding morality and consequences (mainly because of Strange’s past as a selfish doctor before extreme circumstances caused him to be humbled and become a hero as well as Paarthurnax’s history as a lieutenant to Alduin) and there's further enjoyment in how the two would snark at each other. |
| 469 | * Paarthurnax has a fascination with individuals who started off either with blackened hearts or dark and troubling ambitions before overcoming those to be better people. A chance encounter with Kratos, who was once hiking near the Throat of the World resulted in a long conversation between the redeemed dragon and the Ghost of Sparta, with the former respecting the latter for attempting to better himself from the man he once was and Kratos finding Paarthurnax quite humbling, internally admitting him as “good company”. The dragon also had a similar conversation with Guts where the two spoke about topics like the Apostles, fate, causality, and the price of loyalty and determination. While Paarthurnax understood Guts’ hatred for Griffith, he also noted that he likely didn't have a choice and was predestined to become a Godhand given his destiny, though agreed that even then, it was Griffith’s decision to sacrifice his comrades for more power and how he's just as bad as Alduin regarding ambition and desire. Finally, Paarthurnax found a strange kinship in Darth Vader despite the latter’s past reputation as a Sith Lord; the dragon was careful to not prod too much about Anakin’s past, but the latter stated that he wanted to focus more on his path of redemption since his ascension. Paarthurnax was surprised by Vader’s sense of guilt and self-loathing but did tell the Fallen Jedi that he doesn't need to define himself with it and that he doesn't need to be reminded of his past misfortunes. Anakin states that it is hard, but he tries nonetheless and is respectful of the redeemed dragon in trying to help him out in his own way. |
| 470 | * Despite his atonement, there are some who don't agree that Paarthurnax’s redemption is genuine and there are even a few who think he is just as much a threat as his older brother if his betrayal of Alduin tells anything, and they’ll also accuse the Greybeards for being willing accomplices to a supporter of tyranny and destruction, regardless if Paarthurnax regrets them or not. This is a reason why the redeemed dragon keeps himself secluded as there exists a number of figures who don't think Paarthurnax earned his redemption and may still harbour dark and destructive tendencies. This has been a worrying thing for Cosmos and a couple of the dragon’s newfound friends and allies as it is trying to convince someone that a dragon has turned to good, especially one from Skyrim, seems to be harder than one would guess. Gwyn is among those who hold onto that belief, feeling that the Blades are justified in wanting to kill Paarthurnax, plus this is a reason why the King of Anor Londo is conflicted about the Dragonborn, believing that he should be more in line with his beliefs given his most famed occupation. His most trusted lieutenants, Ornstein and Smough, don't care about Paarthurnax being on the side of angels, especially the former. If he's a dragon, he’s worthy prey to hunt, simple as that. Paarthurnax and Arngeir simply comment on Gwyn’s tragic predicament and his issue in coming to terms with dragons not being as oppressive as they seem as well as Ornstein and Smough being too rigid and defined by their loyalty towards their king, though the redeemed dragon and the Greybeards are not hesitant in fighting them if they ever try to impede their domain. |

| 500 | * Neutral Terms With: [[Pantheon/FictionalExpies Golbez]] |
| 501 | * Opposes: [[Pantheon/MagicArchetypes Marisa Kirisame]] (Porom) |
| 502 | * After the fix-up of the temple for Cecil and company, they figured it was time to find a spot for some of their heralds. When looking at a list of vacant titles, Palom immediately jumped on one and volunteered himself [[GotVolunteered and his twin sister Porom]] for BlackAndWhiteMagic. He reasoned that they are the perfect duo for the title, given their practice and their dynamic, though it's actually because there aren't any other candidates. And so, once the motion was sent to the Court and was passed, the two ascended without any issue. |
| 503 | * Applies to both: |
| 504 | ** Both are powerful spellcasters on their own, but their most powerful spell is the Twincast, where they can cast some truly powerful spells such as Comet, Pyroblast (mini-Flare), Twin versions of the -ga levels of Black magic, and Twin Meteor. This art is not actually ''exclusive'' to them, however; Cecil and company (well, just the "Final" party) can do it, too, and Golbez has done one with [=FuSoYa=]. Also, Zidane has seen Twincast in action from the Alexandrian jesters Zorn and Thorn. |
| 505 | ** Both get quite a bit of attention for not only being the best in their fields at the age of five (''without'' being some sort of TykeBomb), but they haven't lost (much of) their touch upon growing up. |
| 506 | ** Rom and Ram immediately befriended the twins as soon as they encountered them together and a few theming similarities can be seen. That said, even Palom knows the value of books and neither he nor Porom appreciate her throwing them. |
| 507 | ** As practicioners of magic, they of course got acquainted with their neighbors, starting with the ''Final Fantasy'' ones. Porom was in awe of Aerith's power and grieved for her sudden departure from the living world, and Palom could see Vivi's potential and respects Lulu's prowess. Both despise Black Mage not only for his evilness and all the atrocities he's done, but because Palom can also sense his potential to be great (and therefore more dangerous) [[BrilliantButLazy should he set his mind to it]]. Oh, and there's also the [[HumanSacrifice sacrificing]] [[PoweredByAForsakenChild children]] thing ([[EvenEvilHasStandards though not]] [[ForTheEvulz without a reason]]). |
| 508 | ** After Marisa got caught trying to find tomes to steal in their temple, and after a very trying magic showdown inside there, prolonged by Marisa's dodging capabilities and the twins' teamwork, the battle was interrupted by some stronger magic duel damaging the temple, giving Marisa the chance to escape[[labelnote:*]]While she could've escaped far earlier, she wanted to gauge their abilities firsthand.[[/labelnote]] while the twins handled the threat. |
| 509 | ** Being twins, they eventually made a visit to the corresponding sub-house in the House of Family. However, they just happened to arrive in the midst of ''yet another'' prank war between [[Pantheon/MagicalGirlRaisingProject the Peaky Angels]] and [[Pantheon/HarryPotter the Weasley twins]] and both of their supporters, which has naturally gone lethal. In the chaos, they got separated, but shortly found each other again…only for Yunael to be instantly ousted from her Palom disguise (and had been about to gut stab Porom with knife!Minael) by Palom himself (though Porom was already suspicious by keeping some distance), and battle was joined. It ended with Minael being turned into a Toad, and Yunael under Confusion before getting hit by [[TakenForGranite Break]]. They received thanks from the Angels' enemies after that. |
| 510 | *** Sometime after that, they got to meet with the other inhabitants of the House, such as the aforementioned Weasleys (and their store), the duelists, the psychics, the Fryes, and the Pines. |
| 511 | * Exclusive to Palom: |
| 512 | ** Despite his attitude, Palom is a surprisingly good at teaching Black Magic (not the profane BlackMagic, but the elemental offense type). As such, he sometimes finds himself called over at Elysium Academy or Mahora Academy. It's not known if Porom can do the same in regards to White Magic, though. |
| 513 | ** Additionally, he actually has more magic power and capacity than [[spoiler:''Golbez'', a Lunarian, whose kind introduced magic to the Blue Planet]]. |
| 514 | ** Palom is secretly a little jealous of Rita's capacity to simplify whatever spells she needs to cast, but recognizes her intellect and that she studied hard to even be able to do that. That said, it seems that in her world, magic relies on incantation a lot whereas in the worlds of ''Franchise/FinalFantasy'', will and potential (or artifacts or {{Magitek}}) determines a mage's abilities. |
| 515 | * Exclusive to Porom: |
| 516 | ** Concerns were given regarding her ''After Years'' attire, given…how much one can see through it, [[VaporWear as well as the possible lack of undergarments]]. |
| 517 | ** While not as proficient in them as Rosa is, Porom has some experience with the bow and arrow (and so does Palom). She prefers staffs, though, as they can potentially raise her magic power. |

| 532 | * Opposes: The Good Aligned Deities in the House of Pantheon/{{Royalty}} |
| 533 | * Zarok was once the Court Magician and Jester of King Peregrin who later fell out of favour due to his preference to "experiment" on the dead and was banished. Enraged, Zarok launched an invasion to the land of Gallowmere but Sir Daniel Fortesque led the armies of Gallowmere and defeated Zarok....[[NeverFoundTheBody or that's what everyone thought]]. A hundred years later, Zarok resurfaced and as part of his revenge, he launched a spelt called the "Evernight" which would launch the world into darkness, brainwash the living into mindless monsters and also raise the dead. Unfortunately that also brought back Dan from the grave who proceed to foil his plans and put an end to Zarok for good. |
| 534 | * Ascended for the position of EvilSorcerer, a title that Zarok likes to endlessly gloat about. But his other intention was to get his revenge against Fortesque. Too many times this man ended up foiling the Sorcerer's plans and the fact that the Pantheon is ripe with magical creatures that could aid him in his quest to raise the undead and plunge the world into darkness just makes Zarok feel confident he will succeed this time. Of course, Sir Dan was one of the first to find out that his ArchEnemy ascended and [[HereWeGoAgain reacted appropriately]]. |
| 535 | * Zarok spends most of his time in his temple, trying to find new spells in order to throw the Pantheon into complete chaos but the presence of even more powerful forces has made it incredibly difficult. That's why he pledged loyalty to the Pantheon/GrandUnitedAllianceOfEvil since Melkor could allow him to go uncontested if he so desired. The problem, as always, is Fortesque who still continues to put a dent in his plans. |
| 536 | * Zarok has described as being the unholy child of Jafar and Maleficent, even bringing his [[AmbiguouslyHuman humanity into question]]. He seems to work pretty well with the two, as they two want revenge on the heroes that defeated them and joining forces could make that a reality. |
| 537 | * While Zarok is knowledgeable about several devastating spells, a certain group of deities was very interested in learning to cast "Evernight", the spell he used to curse Gallowmere. Noob Saibot and his master Quan Chi were one of the first to approach the sorcerer, proposing him to work for the Netherrealm and join them, a proposal that left Zarok curious. Then there was shadowy entities like Chernabog and Nightmare Moon, who would greatly benefit from it. Chernabog also reminds Zarok of the shadow demons and wonders if they would happen to be related. |
| 538 | ** Zarok later went to seek out other strong and evil sorcerers. The first one was Gul'dan, who saw potential in Zarok's spellbook and wants it for himself even if he isn't a Warlock like him. Zarok has also been scouted by Kefka Palazzo and Ganondorf, who too served as their respective kindgom's court magicians. |
| 539 | * Having his own personal army of the dead, he was interested to learn other forms of necromancy present in the Pantheon. The first one was the Lich King, who has his the entire Undead Scourge at his command and Zarok was jealous that a measly human was left in charge of such a powerful army. But even then, they are still allied and he also gets along with Kel'thuzad, who he shares several quirks with. |
| 540 | * Before his final battle with Sir Dan, Zarok decided to turn himself into a strange MixAndMatchCritter that cuckles like a chicken and looks like a very cartoony Sphinx. Still, [[BewareTheSillyOnes it was dangerous to pose a challenge for Fortesque]] and while he can still transform himself into that, he doesn't really have a need to (and probably doesn't want to). He seems to have tried to convince the Sphinx to work for him and learn how to replicate its form in order to have a more effective transformation and while the Sphinx is willing to stand guard in his temple provided it is benefited in some way, she isn't too keen on the sorcerer copying her form. |
| 541 | * His time as King Peregrin's Jester and Court Mage was not one he remembers fondly and if he were up to him, he would slay all the kings in the pantheon. He did attempt to invade the House of Pantheon/{{Royalty}} but was stopped by the Pantheon/GUAGSacredKnights led by Fortesque, squarely landing Zarok as a prime target for the GUAG division. |
| 542 | * He's been trying to be more carefully when resurrecting the undead in order to avoid another Fortesque situation. He learned the hard way that Sir Dan had already gotten a few of his skeleton friends against Zarok, most notably his sparring partner Skull Knight and his apprentice Papyrus (and by extension Sans). Then he found out that there are undead that [[DarkIsNotEvil are actually heroic in nature]] and like Fortesque before, seek to stop the Sorcerer at any cost. Most notably, Squigly, Anakaris and the VideoGame/DarkSouls protagonists have tried their best to aid Sir Dan in defeating Zarok. |
| 543 | * Apparently, he has a spell that is able to mutate pumpkins into monsters, most notably the giant Pumpking Serpent. King Thorn wanted to know how Zarok learned that power and offered him to get rid of Fortesque if he so desired in order to acquire said spell. Zarok ended up accepting since he really wants to get rid of that annoying skeleton once and for all. |

| 563 | * EvilCounterpart: [[Pantheon/TraitorArchetypes Prince Hans Westergard]] |
| 564 | * Anyone who has ever played a video game knows this story; a woman skilled in WhiteMagic came across a mercenary called Cloud Strife in a flower bed. She agreed to join the swordsman and his crew to learn more about her heritage. The two became close after some adventuring. Yet when a certain ex-SOLDIER used deceptive tactics to evade their pusuit, things turned deadly. The OneWingedAngel tried to compel Cloud to kill the healer while she was praying, but he resisted. Therefore Sephiroth did the job for him, impaling her with extreme prejudice. Her resulting death was a traumatizing experience for many a gamer, so much so that her death was known by basically ''everyone''. Eventually, sympathetic souls in the Pantheon decided to bring her back to taker her rightful place in the Pantheon. |
| 565 | ** After her ascension, someone hung a flashing neon sign reading "SHE DIES" over her resting quarters in the Pantheon. It's become a sort of running gag among the more mischievous gods to come up with some sort of humiliating punishment should they come across someone surprised by said sign. Thus far, no victims have been reported. |
| 566 | ** It was a humiliating affair for her, one Sephiroth enjoyed gloating to her about it. Cloud had enough, and the two agreed to find a new home for her. Luckily, her good friend Rosa had an empty temple waiting for her. There was a great need for someone of WhiteMagic to take over. They just needed a new god to take her place. That man was Charles Kane, who was willing to take over for her. Thus, Aeris managed to find a new, respectable home for herself. |
| 567 | ** Cloud was ecstatic with her new role as WhiteMage of the Pantheon. Things got complicated when the fanbase argued other whether he should go with Aeris or Tifa. The healer doesn't really mind, hoping that he will be happy with whoever he chooses to be with. With that said, [[NeverLiveItDown she will never let Cloud forget about that one time]] [[DisguisedInDrag when he had to dress as a woman]]. |
| 568 | * What most people seems to forget is that she's defined with more than just [[MysteriousWaif her spiritual waif-ish power]] to the point of [[IncorruptiblePurePureness incorruptibleness]]. She's in fact... a rather feisty and PluckyGirl that wouldn't mind throwing threats like 'cutting someone's balls off'. Needless to say, when [[Franchise/KingdomHearts Sora]] saw her saying exactly that to someone who's been harassing her, he was quite shocked, to say the least. He went for a round two and looked as if the innocence in his face shattering when he later heard [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyVIIRemake Aerith literally saying]] "Shit!" (she just yelped in danger when she tried to climb on old stairs and it collapsed, forcing her to hang on the upper ledge, but he just learned the context a bit too late). |
| 569 | * Houses one of the most crucial temples in the Pantheon. Many a cleric utilize WhiteMagic to [[TheMedic heal their party members]]. his extends to anyone who uses magic to heal others. While she isn't the boss of every healing cleric, they all have some bit of gratitude towards her. |
| 570 | ** Was glad to see cleric Durkon Thundershield back in the Pantheon after his shocking demotion. The dwarf comes from a long line of surprisingly hardy clerics who are just as capable of beating up evil as well as healing party members |
| 571 | * Many deities from video game [=RPGs=] around TheMultiverse depend on her magic to heal their teammates. As her franchise invented the term 'White Mage', that is pretty much expected. |
| 572 | ** The most prominent healer in her series, Yuna can be seen hanging out with Aeris plenty of times. Sometimes, she goes there to teach how to dance. |
| 573 | ** It's especially rare to see healers as protagonists in a video game series, but Ness and Lucas have done just that in their [[VideoGame/{{Mother}} respective series]]. Of course, many are surprised at that fact if they are more familiar with their [[VideoGame/SuperSmashBros other appearances]]. |
| 574 | ** Fire Emblems's healers aren't as useful given it's more of a strategy game. Nevertheless, a number of deities have managed to ascend due to their utility. Aeris hopes to find a way to make the class more viable in future games. |
| 575 | ** Yukiko is an interesting case. She does not have any powers in her own world, but when she ventures into the "TV World" she gains fire powers as well as the ability to heal her teammates. The Goddess of Inns pondered if she got said abilities from Aeris. |
| 576 | ** Konoka may not be from a video game, but she made sure to pay homage to Aeris in the way she helps out her friends. |
| 577 | * Mercy and Ana may not rely on magic to heal their allies, but they understood how important healing is to keep their teammates alive. The three have been close friends ever since the Overwatch heroes' ascensions. |
| 578 | * Funnily enough, she's also friends with the Medic, in spite of both his rivalry with Mercy and his MadScientist tendencies and experiments which remind her of Professor Hojo. This is mainly because he is genuinely out to help and heal people, and neither he nor Mercy could ever bear to put her in the crossfire of their feud. Chalk it up to Aerith for knowing how to navigate through that landmine. |
| 579 | * [[Pantheon/{{Ambiguity}} Ralph]] refuses to believe that she ever actually died. |
| 580 | * She felt like there was [[Music/MandyMoore a faint bond]] between her and [[WesternAnimation/{{Tangled}} Rapunzel]]. It's [[TheOtherDarrin diminishing slightly]], but it's still there. |
| 581 | * Serves as the opposite side of magic to Vivi. She restores health while he decimates them with his BlackMagic. However, both strive to use their magic for good and expect their clergy to do the same. |
| 582 | * The same cannot be said for Black Mage. She had previously heard that the ''original'' BlackMage has made it to the Pantheon, so she went over to greet him. That almost got her killed by an incoming fireball spell. Later on, White Mage ascended and helped clarify that the Black Mage she met was from a [[Webcomic/EightBitTheater different world]]. |
| 583 | * Downright despises Hans for what he did to Anna, especially for personal reasons. She was seen as suspicious when she hired Cloud as her bodyguard, but proved her work in the party while Hans was thought to be the perfect prince, only to reveal he was dating Anna for nefarious reasons. |
| 584 | * When the final battle of good and evil arrives, Aerith has been appointed by Cosmos to pray for [[HolyHandGrenade Holy]] should the battle turn against the forces of good. A chamber has been constructed for her to go to in preparation for this, and after what happened last time, it's location is secret. |
| 585 | * Sephiroth is known to sometimes visit her chambers and taunt her with how he killed her. Aerith usually retorts she still foiled his plans from beyond the grave, twice. Sephiroth has no comeback that has yet been witnessed. And now that she's free from reliving that memory, Sephiroth is even more frustrated towards her state. Of course, [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyVIIRemake the progress he's made in his latest plan]] has him hoping he'll still have a chance to do it again, even if it's no longer guaranteed. |
| 586 | * Has been in a rather good mood lately. When asked about it, her only statement was [[TheRemake "The promise has been fulfilled."]] |
| 587 | * Aerith has repeatedly clarified that contrary to popular belief, she's not [[TheMourningAfter still hung up on]] [[FirstLove Zack]]. Nor is she manipulating [[SecondLove Cloud]] into functioning as some sort of [[DoppelgangerReplacementLoveInterest substitute]]. Despite said clarifications, the claims of her being a manipulative seductress have persisted, making Aerith get significantly angrier and angrier. |
| 588 | * She occasionally prays alone in her temple though sometimes people that head to check on her claim they saw [[TheLostLenore someone]] standing outside her temple much to her confusion. |

| 607 | * Atsuko "Akko" Kagari, a girl who loves magic and dreams of becoming a witch. She was inspired to become one after watching a performance by her idol Shiny Chariot. Problem is that she struggles in performing magic since she isn't a natural born witch. But that won't stop her dream in becoming the greatest witch ever just like her idol. |
| 608 | ** While at first it was thought that the reason Akko had trouble doing magic was because she wasn't born to it. Turns out, there was a much darker reason as [[spoiler:her magical potential was taken when she was a kid]] which stunted her magical growth. What's worst, it was [[spoiler:Shiny Chariot who unknowingly took it]]. |
| 609 | * While Akko does struggle with magic, she has a knack for transformation magic. In particular transforming into animals. Interesting enough, this is the one skill that her idol was very good at as well. She is also able to speak fluent fish. |
| 610 | * Takes great pride in being a witch. So much that talking bad about witches or saying that magic is unneeded will get her riled up and determined to prove how great they are. She also doesn't like the evil witches in the Pantheon since they give all the good witches a bad name. She sees magic as something to bring joy to people. So she has taken a stand against those who would use magic for evil purposes. |
| 611 | * Since her favorite witch is Shiny Chariot who used her magic to entertain people, she has shown similar admiration to Zatanna Zatara. She really enjoys her magic performances which are just as aspiring as Chariot. She also enjoys the performances of the Great and Powerful Trixie even if most of her acts were tricks despite having magic. |
| 612 | * Found out about Izuku "Deku" Midoriya's life and how it sort of mirrors her own. The two bonded over the fact they were fans of witches/superheroes, how they wanted to become one but faced harsh obstacles, looking up to and actually being mentored by their idols. The more cynical would point out the one major difference: while Deku gained his Quirks thanks to his idol, [[spoiler:Akko's magic potential was accidentally stolen by her idol]]. |
| 613 | * Since she was used as a test subject for Sucy's concoctions, Akko has developed a resistance to poison. However, she isn't totally immune to their effects as was the case when she had a bad run in with the Malboro. |
| 614 | * Was very hesitant to get near any of the Puella Magi girls when she learned they kill witches. Though, she found out that the witches they face were more Eldritch in appearance. Still, she's very cautious around actual witch hunters that may be residing in the pantheon. |
| 615 | * Has made sure she stays as far away from Tirek as possible. This is because she is afraid of his magic draining ability. She also is scared that her magic will be lost forever since [[spoiler:she already experienced her magic being stolen before]]. |
| 616 | * Made friends with the Princess Pretty Cures since they admire Akko's determination to become a witch despite her struggle. She especially related to Haruka since she too was mocked for wanting to be a princess which reminded Akko of others criticizing her over wanting to be a witch. |
| 617 | * Became very good friends with Ruby Rose with their very [[GenkiGirl excitable personalities]] blending very well. It was through Ruby that she got to know Jaune Arc and connected with him on wanting to be a Hunter despite struggling at it. She also got a chance to meet Weiss Schnee. She felt a bout of deja vu when speaking to her since Weiss reminded Akko of Diana. She even swore she [[Creator/YokoHikasa sounded just]] like Diana. |
| 618 | * After overhearing a conversation [[Manga/MagicKnightRayearth the Magic Knights]] had with a friend of theirs, a man they called [[Anime/MobileSuitGundam Amuro]], Akko's begun to ponder if she should arrange for Grand Charion, a mech she herself piloted once, to be brought to the Pantheon, feeling it may be more effective here. |
| 619 | * Is very conflicted about Anti-Mage and his hatred about magic. While Akko is wholeheartedly opposed to him wanting to destroy magic, she sympathizes with him about his community being destroyed because of it. She truly wants to show how beautiful magic is and that it isn't inherently evil. She just doesn't know how. |
| 620 | * Was very excited to see so many different kinds of witches in the Pantheon and how differently their magic works compared to hers. Many were happy to help Akko with perfecting her magic. Especially Kiki who became Akko's flying broom teacher. |
| 621 | * Was actually surprised to see males being able to use magic since it's so rare to see them in her world. One wizard called Haruto Soma took an instant liking to Akko since her love of magic reminded him of a friend of his. |

| 637 | * Opposes: [[Pantheon/MagicalItems Gul'dan]] |
| 638 | * Not to be mistaken with: [[Pantheon/AlignmentChanges John Wick]] |
| 639 | * A powerful, wicked but rather... [[MurderArsonAndJaywalking eccentric]] witch who lived in a hut chicken legs and flies around in a giant mortar and pestle, Baba Yaga one day crash landed into the Pantheon, took the temple of SolitarySorceress for her own and disappeared deep into a Russian forest. Because of her immense power and reputation to eat any children of anyone who opposes her, people in the Pantheon leave her alone with the temple and title. |
| 640 | * Upon seeing one of their mortal enemies, Snow White and Bigby immediately put up precaution and magical barriers around their children and warn the entire Pantheon about Baba Yaga's reputation of eating any kids that came upon her territories. This caused many parents in the Pantheon to band with each other to protect their children and find a way to destroy Baba Yaga. |
| 641 | * Due to their shared past violence against children and being powerful magic user, Baba Yaga reached out and became allies with the Disney Villains. Like them, she was also disgusted when learned about [[Film/{{Maleficent}} an alternative universe]] where Maleficent is not only good, but also ''a good mother figure for Aurora''. |
| 642 | ** Because of her alliance with the Disney villains, general violence against children and the fact that she has history with the Fables version of Snow White, special protection was placed in the princess temple to prevent Baba Yaga from going after her. |
| 643 | ** She has an especially interesting relationship with the Evil Queen given that Baba Yaga's descendant [[Toys/EverAfterHigh teaches Evil Chemistry]], a class that the Queen's descendent Raven goes to [[spoiler:[[WhamEpisode before Legacy day]]]]. |
| 644 | * Despises the Mystery Gang due to the fact that [[WesternAnimation/ScoobyDooMysteryIncorporated they had encountered and defeated her before]]. |
| 645 | * Was NOT pleased when discovered another person has the nickname Baba Yaga in the Pantheon. What more, this person is just a mortal man who doesn't eat children. She is brewing a plan to kill him permanently and became the sole person to be called that name. |
| 646 | * True to her position, her temple is placed over her hut and constantly moving. Any poor soul wondered into this place would be killed and served for dinner. Because of her reputation, Baba Yaga rarely have visitors who isn't as or more powerful than her and she intends to keep it that way. |
| 647 | ** Because of this, the Pantheon made sure Eru Chitanda, Curious George and Pinocchio never wonder near the place where Baba Yaga's chicken hut may wonder to in fear of them being eaten. |
| 648 | * Really dislike Dorothy Gale for killing two evil witches and one of the few person Baba Yaga cannot touch due to the fact that she is protected by the Land of Oz. |
| 649 | * Really likes Gabriel Belmont for helping her finding the flower that would made her appear younger. On the other hand, she has a burning hatred for Zobek for killing that world's version of her and swore revenge. |
| 650 | * Upon hearing about her ascension, Master Roshi invited Baba Yaga to his house because he mistook her for [[{{Expy}} his sister Baba]]. Baba Yaga was confused but later went along with this because she heard rumors that his place tend to have children hanging around that she could use for a meal. Unfortunately for her, the children in question happens to be Super Saiyans and proceed to [[CurbStompBattle kick her ass]]. Baba Yaga left Roshi's house humiliated and swore revenge while Roshi was angry that she impersonated his sister. The two on really bad term ever since. |
| 651 | * She was at first curious when heard about another powerful fellow evil magical user called Gul'dan in the Pantheon and decided to pay him a visit. However, she was incredibly disappointed when learned that not only Gul'dan doesn't sustain his magical power by himself but he is also a lackey to the Burning Legion, which clash with Baba Yaga's isolated philosophy. |
| 652 | * Upon hearing her ascension, Cayden came and confronts Baba Yaga for messing up his world. She just laughed and stated that if his world left itself to be ravaged by her, maybe it deserves to be in that state. The two engaged in a duel that left their temple in rubble and disturbed many nearby houses. |

| 667 | * Enemies: |
| 668 | ** The Kombatants: '''[[Pantheon/GamingNarratives Sindel]]''', [[Pantheon/{{Attitude}} Shao Kahn]], [[Pantheon/SpiritualAndMentalPowers Shang Tsung]], [[Pantheon/FieldsOfMagic Quan Chi]], [[Pantheon/ItemsAndObjects Shinnok]], '''[[Pantheon/TypesOfPopularity Onaga]]''', [[Pantheon/PhysicalAttractiveness Mileena]], [[Pantheon/MethodsOfKilling Kano]] |
| 669 | ** Other Enemies: [[Pantheon/DreadAndValor Freddy Krueger]], [[Pantheon/ReligionAndFaith Azmodan]] |
| 670 | * Pities: [[Pantheon/LegendaryBeings The Wendigo]] |
| 671 | * Uneasy around: Werewolves |
| 672 | * Nightwolf ascended thanks to his vast usage of shamanistic spells in Kombat. Was one of Raiden's chosen heroes in the [[VideoGame/MortalKombat3 Third Mortal Kombat Tournament]], and remains a force of good throughout the realm, using his magic attunement, making him worthy of the title. |
| 673 | ** For better or for worse, when Raiden resetted the timeline, Nightwolf had the bad luck of [[spoiler:getting slain while sacrificing himself to eliminate an evil version of Sindel. By default, he would end up being a revenant of Quan Chi during the 25 Years Prophecy... However, thanks to some tinkering by Raiden and the good deities of Trope Pantheons, especially fellow Shaman Thrall, they managed to give the proverbial middle finger by Quan Chi and yanking him away right before the deal of 'heroes turn to revenant' can take on full effect. Quan Chi might have gotten himself a Nightwolf revenant in the MK-verse, but in the Trope Pantheons, it was mostly known that it's the heroic Nightwolf that stands.]] |
| 674 | * So far, he's the only Kombatant to openly dislike Sindel due to her infamous massacre in [[VideoGame/MortalKombat9 the retelling]], to the point of calling her "[[YouMonster Monster!]]". And he's the one who sacrificed his life to stop her once and for all. However, when it comes to the Pantheon, Nightwolf could only shed tears that he knew that the Sindel of the original time was a honorable queen and would end up that way if it wasn't for the new timeline mess. But as it turns out, that was all a ruse. Sindel was in fact as evil as Shao Kahn and Nightwolf felt disgusted that he ever felt pity for such a monster. Sindel on her part only wants to get back at the matoka |
| 675 | * There was a time when Nightwolf discovered that Freddy Krueger was breaking havoc in Earthrealm and as a result, he banished him back to the Dreamrealm, [[NiceJobBreakingItHero basically making freddy immortal again]]. Krueger likes to make fun of Nightwolf for his terrible mistake, but he remains staunch that he will rectify the mistake. |
| 676 | * He was glad to meet other native americans that happened to be ascended as well. She frequently likes to chat with Pocahontas, Michelle and Julia Chang. |
| 677 | * Gets along with Thrall because he is a fellow shaman like him. Nightwolf is interested in getting to know the culture of the orcs and see if he can learn a few new tricks from him. Furthermore, as mentioned, Thrall was the one [[spoiler:suggesting how to 'save' the revenants.]] |
| 678 | * Is not happy to see Onaga in the Pantheon, due to [[VideoGame/MortalKombatDeception the incident he got involved in the Previous Timeline]]. |
| 679 | * He heard from Thrall of the fabled Wendigo, a creature that he heard and believed that was a myth. Nightwolf could be the key person that could [[spoiler:finally purify the body of Hanah and let her rest in peace.]] |
| 680 | * In the previous timeline, Nightwolf became a Sin Eater, people who are able to completely absorb evil energies whilst retaining his psyche and vanish evil creatures to the depths of the Netherrealm. While it's unknown if he can channel those powers again, Azmodan has been really wary about the Shaman. |
| 681 | * [[WesternAnimation/MortalKombatDefendersOfTheRealm There was a time when he used to be rather Tech-savvy]] and served as the MissionControl of the Earthrealm warriors. While he isn't like that anymore, he likes to visit the House of Pantheon/MachineryAndTechnology from time to time. |
| 682 | * [[MeaningfulName Fitting to his name]], he actually is very close to wolves and is able to communicate with them. This in turn made him friends with San, who is also close to wolves. |
| 683 | ** However, he feels uneasy around Werewolves, given that in an AlternateUniverse he was once possessed by Shao Khan and it transformed him into a Lycanthrope. Although he likes to visit people like [[Pantheon/FantasticRaces Greymane or Valkenhayn]] to be prepared in case said situation happens for real. |

| 697 | * Enemies: [[Pantheon/BetrayalAndTreachery Arthas Menethil]], [[spoiler:[[Pantheon/TaintedLove Prince Hans]]]] |
| 698 | * At first, Jaina was completely ineligible to enter the Pantheon in spite of the favors of her orcish friend Thrall, due to the fact that the descent of her madness after the bombing of Theramore and becoming a bitter racist. Because of that, Thrall eventually worked with someone who resembled her, [[VideoGame/{{Dota2}} Rylai the Crystal Maiden]] to work for a way to find Jaina in the peak of her peace-loving era. This led them into a cooperation with both [[Pantheon/StarCraft Sarah Kerrigan and Zeratul]], to [[VideoGame/HeroesOfTheStorm a certain field of battle]] where they were able to summon Jaina shortly after the founding of Theramore. This Jaina was considered eligible and was ascended, though Jaina herself was a little confused with the transpiring event, she took the throne. |
| 699 | ** The Pantheon also agreed that if anything, this was all Garrosh Hellscream's fault, and just recently [[spoiler:he got what's coming to him.]] |
| 700 | * When she realized what would have happened to her in the future, she fell to her knees and couldn't believe how she could end up. [[FutureMeScaresMe She was justifiably scared of what she would become]]. Thankfully, it's not just Thrall who ensures her that they won't let it happen, Rylai also, citing her as a role model in her magic casting. A gladdened Jaina then gave her a tender hug and thanked her. They've kept close relations ever since. |
| 701 | * As she is the LadyOfBlackMagic, she is considered as a 'more mature' version of [[Franchise/TouhouProject Marisa Kirisame]]]. Jaina has noted the girl's extreme potential. |
| 702 | * In spite of opposing Arthas, it is known that Jaina somewhat still held a glittering feeling about him as their past relationship. But for the most part, she kept her opposition stance publicly, as [[VideoGame/HeroesOfTheStorm she will fight him more directly one day]]. |
| 703 | * She also visited [[Franchise/{{Frozen}} Arendelle]], and after a brief chat with Queen Elsa, she was quite horrified with [[spoiler:Prince Hans]], in which Jaina cited that as much as how Arthas turned out, he wasn't ''that'' sociopathic before Frostmourne claimed him, compared to [[spoiler:Hans]]. |
| 704 | * It is also noted that as of current, Jaina is the only Alliance (human) leader in the Pantheon, though that was mingled with the fact that this current Jaina was taken before she committed herself into the Alliance due to the aforementioned descent. |
| 705 | * She was a little confused that [[VideoGame/HeroesOfTheStorm she was designated as an 'Assassin' because apparently that one battlefield has no classification of 'Mage']]. She got her help by consulting fellow assassin [[VideoGame/LeagueOfLegends Akali]], at first because they lately [[Creator/LauraBailey sounded kind of similar]], but over time, Jaina feels more comfortable around her and her new classification even if she's pretty much still an Arch Mage. |
| 706 | * At one point, she mistook the chant of [[WesternAnimation/TeenTitans "Azarath Metrion Zinthos"]] as her teleportation spell, prompting Raven to confront her and ask if she entered her room. Jaina managed to deny that honestly, and Raven left her alone, convinced that she's telling the truth. |
| 707 | * Is quite shocked on Kael'thas' rise, remembering his last attempts to summon Kil'jaeden. But still, since he seemed to be in a more lucid state and more focusing on making Arthas pay for his crimes, she decided to be fine in working with them. However, she still rejects his advances because 'it's just not going to work'. |

| 731 | * Respected by: [[Pantheon/SocialAndRecreationalWork The Janitor]], [[Pantheon/{{Prophets}} The Presence]] |
| 732 | * The day that all magical gods feared has come. Reports from the House of Magic indicated that a blonde male wearing a trenchcoat and smoking a cigarette had just made a temple there. He had been bolstered by followers of his adventures as well as his short-lived tv series. Many evil aligned gods collectively locked their doors and prepared wards for the worst. But it's likely that no one will try to kick him out; the amount of favors this man has will likely cause the perpetrator to burn at the spot. |
| 733 | ** He thought he could also get the title of OccultDetective, but was told that he had to choose between that and MagicianDetective. Constantine ultimately decided to take neither of them. |
| 734 | * Constantine was quick not to side with any of the grand alliances, but was also quick to oppose all except the GUAG. Even then, he believes siding with Cosmos would only hinder his process of handling exorcists. Neither Melkor, Lucifer nor YHWH have made any comments on the opposition, with rumors persisting that the three are plotting for his demise. The fact that ''they were forced to work together despite hating the others' guts'' is a sign that they are wary of what Constantine is capable of. |
| 735 | * Their caution is not a fluke. Constantine has gone through multiple attempts of life by beings far more powerful than him and yet come out on top. He is perceived to be able to talk out of almost any situation. Even the Janitor was impressed with his guile skills. |
| 736 | * Word has it that Constantine didn't choose the Phantom Stranger as his high priest; he merely took over the role on his own as the best candidate. With no other alternatives, John let it past. That decision only made even more unlikely that Madame Xanadu would approve his ascension. Nowadays, she would only work with him under the most extreme of circumstances and even then she outright refuses to work with his high priest. |
| 737 | * If there was anyone in the Pantheon that had the most complicated relationship with him, it's Zatanna. The two only work with each other briefly when there's a situation that requires them to work together. When asked about any romantic encounters, Zatanna admits to dating the man in her mortal life, even becoming a couple. That's not likely to happen now that Constantine has ascended. The two hope to keep it professional. |
| 738 | * Whatever you do, ''do not regard to him as a magic Time Lord.'' That is a guaranteed one-way ticket to being cursed for life. Despite this, he enjoys a healthy relationship with the Doctor. Their personalities mesh better than the Time Lord's earlier incarnations. |
| 739 | * Tezcatlipoca attempted to get John drunk, only to be OutGambitted and be humiliated himself. In spite of the humiliation he has a soft spot for the man due to how skilled a trickster and manipulator he is. |
| 740 | * Besides Matt Ryan, he had [[Creator/KeanuReeves another avatar]] that looked a lot like Neo and John Wick. While he has had no interactions with the Retired Hitman, he did promise to have Neo's back in dealing with agents. |
| 741 | ** He also shares a remarkable resemblance to Theodore Logan... those he is much less proud of that achievement. Ted for his part has tried to make himself cooler to win his blessing... with poor results. |
| 742 | * [[Series/{{Arrow}} He helped the Green Arrow to find the soul of one of his allies.]] The two didn't exactly have a smooth relationship when they first met, but got along fairly well. |
| 743 | * The two don't meet up that often, but Constantine appreciates another person that can screw over with beings far more powerful than him. Expect their enemies to go into a panic attack if the two decide to work together as a team. |
| 744 | * Even Regime Superman was wary of the occultist's ascension. Constantine was close to containing the tyrannical superhuman if not for the intervention of his allies. This corrupted version of Kal-El is sure to put out a plan to dispose of the man. |
| 745 | * He has a rough relationship with the Caped Crusader. Batman was never a fan of Constantine's methods, seeing him as a dangerous man. He often spies on the man to see what he's up to. Constantine was well aware of the fact and has set up safeguards to prevent him from doing so. |
| 746 | * Not many know it, but Constantine is actually bisexual. He has already made an impressive list of ex-lovers in the Pantheon. Unfortunately, this was brought to the attention of Bambi Hughes. The god of Depraved Homosexuals hopes to take Constantine into his temple for some "fun time." |
| 747 | * He often turns to Dante for help whenever there are demons that need a bit more heavy-lifting to defeat. The Son of Sparda is actually one of the few allies he frequently relies on, odd as Dante's outspoken personality contrasts with Constantine's more deadpan nature. It's their hatred of demons that unites the two. |
| 748 | * Ended up making friends with Boruto Uzumaki and Sarada Uchiha, of all people. Both Constantine and Zatanna were chasing after a demonic soul that possessed a nun. Boruto and the Jōgan quickly identified the possessed woman, allowing the duo to purge the demon from the nun. Every once in a while, Boruto, joined by his partner Sarada, would team up with Constatine and Zatanna on several of their cases. "Had you been legal, I'd buy you a pint," Constatine remarked. |
| 749 | * The DC Universe [[ComicBook/IVampire considers Lilith the Mother of Monsters]], a wandering desert woman who was turned by Cain and became the second vampire along with his bride. The Series/{{Arrowverse}} adaptation (specifically, Series/{{Constantine}}), Lilith was created alongside her sisters, Durgia, Naamah, Lamashtu and Eve, to populate the Garden of Eden alongside Adam. Except for Eve, they rejected Adam's proposal, instead choosing to rule for eternity as Demon goddesses of Hell over a lifetime of obedience on Earth. John Constantine once dealt with Lamashtu and banished her to Hell. Lilith isn't pleased at this or John Constantine for doing this. |
| 750 | * Edward Kenway managed to strike up a friendship with Constantine after the two had noticed that they shared [[Creator/MattRyan the same voice]]. As they had both lost friends and gone through incredible hardships, they quickly bonded and can occasionally be seen hanging out together. |
| 751 | * Captain Holt really finds it hard to tolerate John due to his smartass attitude, though he does admit his abilities are very useful for stopping fantastical criminals. |
| 752 | * ''"My name is John Constantine. I'm the one who steps from the shadows, all trench coat and arrogance. I'll drive your demons away, kick 'em in the bollocks and spit on them when they're down, leaving only a nod and a wink and a wisecrack. I walk my path alone because, let's be honest... Who'd be crazy enough to walk it with me?"'' |

Kamek is Bowser's personal adviser and caretaker [[VideoGame/YoshisIsland from when he was just a baby. He has been the adversary of Mario and Yoshi from the very beginning]]. |
| 768 | * As a powerful Magikoopa, Kamek learned many magical spells like a projectile spell and manipulation. His most well-known spell is magically enchanting the size of many monsters, including Bowser himself to become large behemoths. |
| 769 | ** [[VideoGame/SuperSmashBros He could also transform the layout of the battleground]], Mushroom Kingdom U, where he could transport the Smashers from the Acorn Kingdom to Rock-Candy Mines, Meringue Clouds, and Slide Lift Tower. |
| 770 | * He's more or less raised Bowser on his own. As his personal nanny, he found the young master to be quite a headache with his unsatisfied appetite and temper tantrums that leave him flattened. |
| 771 | * He strongly dislikes Yoshi as his kind practically disturbed his little master for trying to interfere with his plans of kidnapping Mario and Luigi before they could even be a threat. |
| 772 | * He is a prominent member of the because of his magical powers, including growing his minions to monstrous size. |
| 773 | * As there are more powerful wizards in the Pantheon, he detests them for holding more power than he so enlist himself in the [[Pantheon/GUAEMalumMagia Malum Magia]] as a very prominent member because of his enchantment to any minions, granting them power and size. |
| 774 | ** He is shown to dislike other court mages such as Merlin and Donald Duck as he believes that Bowser is the superior of all kings. Not to mention, he found Donald's jabbering to be very unbearable. |
| 775 | * Disturbingly enough, he often dresses himself as Princess Peach for... [[VideoGame/NewSuperMarioBrosWii some]] [[VideoGame/MarioAndLuigiDreamTeam occasions]]. It comes in handy in tricking the Mario Bros. though. |
| 776 | * Kiki avoids flying on her broomstick near Kamek when she is on her work shift as he is terrible with other flying witches and pushes them or even zaps them for getting in his way.

| 792 | * Ascended to her spot by stealing various [[MemeticMutation "precious things"]] from Harry Potter, Lina Inverse, and Negi Springfield. Her most prized possession is Lillet's heart. Why why why don't I miss you a lot forever, ze? |
| 793 | * Is banned from most sections of the [[Pantheon/{{Knowledge}} Library]] for incurring a fine so large that not even [[Pantheon/{{Commerce}} Seto Kaiba]] could pay it off. It does not stop her from occasionally attempting to sneak in, anyway. |
| 794 | ** Ever the ambitious borrower-without-returning, Marisa has begun casing the Treasures Vault, much to Hong Meiling's ire despite her demotion to being the Scarlet sisters' herald. |
| 795 | * Keeps her house from far away from others due of her experiments in magic, which can and have caused harm to her surroundings. One time, her Mini-Hakkero was possessed, causing her to temporally acquire a deep fondness for setting things and people on fire, whereupon she proceeded to do so. The incident has fortunately been solved and both she and her Hakkero are back to normal. |
| 796 | * Claims to be Gensokyo's second-best danmaku specialist, with only her long-time friend and occasional rival Reimu being better. [[EnergyWeapon Considering her main attacks involve lasers]], and her track record is almost as good as Reimu's is, no one bothers to argue. |
| 797 | * One of her notable followers was [[VideoGame/LeagueOfLegends Luxanne "Lux" Crownguard]] which happened after a long argument whenever or not she'd stolen a spell Marisa herself stole [[note]] Marisa stole Master Spark from [[Pantheon/PowerAndAbilities Yuuka Kazami]][[/note]]. Nonetheless, she was glad that Lux eventually ascended, though hearing that it involved being kidnapped by [[Pantheon/FamilyAndRelatives Lady Tremaire]] kind of soured the mood. Because of that, let just say that she now has two thieves to worry about. |
| 798 | * Was happy to hear that Kourin (Rinnosuke) ascended into Pantheon, because of the two being long-time friends. |
| 799 | * Once she'd heard of the event, marisa has become very interested in the rise of her 'more mature counterpart', Jaina Proudmoore. Marisa's stance on this is that she can't wait to study the ins and out of Azerothian magic and translating them to a more Danmaku-friendly arena. |
| 800 | * If you ever asked anyone about the recent ascensions of some new deities from Gensokyo, you would be quickly directed to Marisa Kirisame as the instigator behind quite a bit of it. One day, she asked Reimu to accompany her to the Main House for a very specific thing. That thing was Chimata's ascension, which was followed by [[{{Pantheon/Advertising}} Brand X]]'s attempt at taking over Gensokyo's Spell Card & Ability Card business. While most of the ascended ''Touhou Project'' deities dealt with the high tables of the company, Marisa was rallying support across the land of fantasy, an act that would lead to Keiki's own takeover of much of the conglomerate's manufacturing division, which would lead to a ''second successive ascension''. She also helped Reimu get Sumireko out of the House of Pantheon/MilitaryAndWarfare when the psychic suddenly dreamed into that place, 2 years after dreaming out of the Pantheon entirely, and that led to a ''re-ascension'', meaning Marisa was, for the most part, the driving factor behind many of the new (and old) Gensokyoan deities being ascended. Sheesh. |

| 823 | * An enigma in her own right, Patchouli Knowledge serves as the librarian for the library within the Scarlet Devil Mansion, which [[CanonDiscontinuity may or may not be called Voile]]. Regardless, she spends her days within that mansion, doing research, performing experiments, reading books, and maybe playing video games. However, don't let that fool you- she is quite the talker and fighter if you coax her into it, as her mastery of the elements is why Remilia handpicked her personally. |
| 824 | * For a long time, her location even after her ascension was unknown. She wasn't in the Scarlet Devil Mansion at the time the GUAE raided and took over it, and for quite a long time, she remained hidden until the conditions were more favorable to fight back and reclaim her friend and mistress, her house, and her library. The only god who knew her location at the time was Marisa, who still kept on stealing her books somehow, teasing others by saying it is one of biggest libraries on magic she'd ever seen. also knew where it was, as both play videogames through an online connection, but she refused to say anything. After Remilia was deified (initially, holding the trope ImmortalImmaturity, which would later be taken by [[Pantheon/FormsOfImmortality Mavis]] down the line), she was quick to shut herself in the SDM's library to work away at repairing it, along with her servant Koakuma. Few have seen her since. |
| 825 | * Formerly the Goddess of {{Hikikomori}}, for being [[TheShutIn a shut-in]] her library for so long (see: ''a [[PrecisionFStrike fucking]] century'') that she actually got sick as a result, but like with (her eventual herald) Meiling and her [[ButtMonkey previous position]], Remilia felt like Patchouli's position was disgraceful (while asking "What is a hikikomori?"), and was eventually able to get her a much fitting position, worthy of her talent. Patchy didn't really care, but appreciated her efforts anyway; fellow hikikomori Madotsuki does pass by the library to say hi occassionally, usually accompanied by [[Pantheon/CommonColors Sumireko Usami]]. |
| 826 | * Koakuma, Patchouli's main assistant in the SDM, is a devil with a rather mischievous streak to her. For that, Patchouli wishes that no one would think that she is a [[SuccubiAndIncubi succubus]] due of [[Pantheon/OtherCreatures Morrigan and Lilith Aensland]] being around. However, when it comes to comparisons like these, some deities would then say that elements of both Patchouli ''and Marisa'' are seen in [[Pantheon/ScientistsAndGeniuses Yui Ayase]]. Yui, for reference, is also a short, long-purple-haired magician with a reserved personality, but wears a traditional witch outfit and uses a broom like Marisa. |
| 827 | * Used to believe that magic & outside world science are one the same. However, this notion was challenged after her ascension, especially through one of her eventual allies, Kokonoe Mercury, who is adept at integrating both well. Since then, the duo have frequently collaborated, usually through the Internet, on research into both the arcane and scientific fields. |
| 828 | * Was interested in learning about Kiritsugu Emiya’s “Origin Bullet”, thinking that she could formulate a plan and spell to stop it from reaching her. Ignoring the rumors and warnings from both the rest of the SDM & the House of Magic, she proceeded to invite him to see the real deal. 48 hours later, Patchouli woke up in a cot in the House of Health and Diseases, feeling much more sore than usual, now realizing that she had screwed up. Since then, she has become wary of the man for his deadly potential especially towards people like her. |
| 829 | * When Patchouli ''does'' exit the library, it's for 1 of 4 reasons, usually. They are: To explore the rest of the House of Magic, to visit the House of Knowledge, to receive treatment in the House of Pantheon/HealthAndDiseases, or to say hi to Kosuzu & her friends in the House of Pantheon/{{Narrative}}. |
| 830 | ** Within the House of Magic, Patchouli learned of Marisa's legendary bout with one of the Pantheon's newest (at time of writing) arrivals, Elaina, and was disappointed that she had missed the occasion. Nonetheless, she went out of her way to congratulate the Ashen Witch for her prowess, and offered to help her be more prepared should the Ordinary Magician strike again. Another interesting person that caught the librarian's attention was Rinoa Heartlily, as both of them are classified as a MageSpecies in their respective worlds. Both Elaina & Rinoa are now welcome guests in the SDM's library, which they find cozy and quiet. |
| 831 | ** Within the SDM's library, if you follow a very specific path of aisles, you'll find yourself in the House of Knowledge. This isn't an accident- after Patchouli had finally finished the repairs to the library, she petitioned for it to act as a secondary entrance into that House to serve as not just a repository for more of Gensokyo's books, but to also learn more about the Pantheon and its denziens. Histoire was especially pleased with this, as the SDM's mansion is one of the quietest places in the Pantheon, allowing her valuable reading time; and as stated earlier, Patchy had begun taking interest in video games, so Histoire allowed her a meeting with the [=CPUs=], who all liked the librarian. |
| 832 | ** Of course, for all that time she's in the library, Patchouli is sick and weary, so she looks into ways of maintaining health...without actually getting fit. This has kind of forced Remilia's hand, sending her to the Hall of Pantheon/MedicalConditions in order to receive aid for her ailments, such as asthma & anemia. Unfortunately, she ends up refusing some of these treatments, and instead usually gravitates towards crafting Philosopher’s Stones, but has to do so in secret as to not aggravate [[Pantheon/FieldsOfMagic Edward Elric]] & his friends specifically. |
| 833 | ** Ever since their first meeting, Twilight Sparkle & Patchouli had been good allies, due to sharing similar motifs, with a domninat purple color palette, a love for books, and mastery over magic. Though this has strained over the years due to Patchouli being Patchouli, this kinship has been renewed thanks to [[Pantheon/{{Currency}} Chimata Tenkyuu]]’s ascension, or rather, who ascended as a result. Kosuzu Motoori, the young bibliophile who ran the human village bookstore Suzunaan, ascended for her efforts in the attack against [[Pantheon/{{Advertising}} Brand X]], and reignited Patchy’s friendship with Twilight due to how much ''they'' share. Nowadays, Patchouli tries to make time to meet up with the duo at Suzunaan, especially after an incident that left it in ruins and the death of a [[Pantheon/{{Logic}} certain amanaojaku]] (said amanojaku is fine, [[DeathIsCheap by the way]]). |
| 834 | * There's also a fifth reason why Patchouli would leave the Library: That is, to go practice her magic in unique ways due to how she uses them in combat, from using them on her own, to even combining them to create new spells. Patchouli's skillset is ordered by what day of the week they correspond with, leaning towards the general elements during the week, and more cosmic energies on the weekends. She would often be in the following Halls, depending on the day: |
| 835 | *** '''Monday:''' Hall of Pantheon/FireAndHeat; among those who collaborate with her in this Hall is the mighty Alexstraza. Patchouli always wonders how Alex's flames could be able to heal instead of harm, and is at work trying to replicate this with her own spells. |
| 836 | *** '''Tuesday:''' Hall of Pantheon/WaterAndMoisture; Poseidon & Percy Jackson find her to be great company, even though her attitude would normally say otherwise. After training sometimes, Percy would ask Patchouli for studying material- he's still learning much about other worlds and their kind, after all, and is interested in knowing more about [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Characters/TouhouKishinjouDoubleDealingCharacter Wakasagihime]]. |
| 837 | *** '''Wednesday:''' She doesn't go into a specific hall, but instead, heads to the House of Pantheon/{{Plants}}, or to either of Yuuka's temples. However, she normally doesn't enter the same Halls as Exdeath & Mordremoth, as if they ever got interested in her abilities, things could get ugly. She's also tense around her fellow Gensokyoan in Yuuka, given the flower youkai's insane strength and peculiarity towards tending to her flower field- [[TooDumbToLive one time, she accidentally caused a fire outside of it that ended up burning a few sunflowers. You can guess which House did Patchouli end up in afterward]]. |
| 838 | *** '''Thursday:''' Hall of Pantheon/MetalAndMinerals. Surprisingly, the only deity in there who is remotely close to manipulating metal is Magneto, so she ended up having to learn a few tips from him. He actually liked the idea of having to impart a bit of his knowledge to those that seek it, so they did form a slight friendship. |
| 839 | *** '''Friday:''' Hall of Pantheon/EarthAndRock. While she avoids Sakazuki & Gohma Vlitra, she got along with just about everyone else in that hall. Most notable of these is Toph, who often served as the magician's Thursday class when Magneto's busy. Patchouli would be seen, though rarely, in Toph's metalbending school as either a student or an aide. |
| 840 | *** '''Saturday:''' She doesn't go into a Hall. Instead, she trains her sun powers with one of the House of Nature's main leaders, Amaterasu. It's also the time of the week where she'd be the most active and healthy, as that is the primary function of sun magic for Patchy. |
| 841 | *** '''Sunday:''' Hall of Pantheon/PlanetaryBodiesAndSatellites. However, this is the day that Patchy is least anticipating, as those she trains with on these days are, well, enemies of a certain brand of purity. She tries to keep herself on the down-low, ''especially'' if she decides not to go into this house and instead heads up to meet with [[Pantheon/ExtraterrestrialAppearanceAndBiology Chang'e]] for other applications of lunacy. |
| 842 | ** Patchouli's powers grow when she combines the elements she uses to create stronger spells, mixing and matching at least two in order to get better results regardless of compatibility. [[VideoGame/BravelyDefault The Wizard job]] in ''Bravely Default II'' does something albeit different but still similar enough for her to recognize it. Now alongside spell combinations, she tends to also practice chaining multiple spells in a row (and hopefully without her anemia & asthma getting in the way) much like how the Luxendarc heroes do it, which, yes, they did teach her one day. |
| 843 | * Patchouli's biggest gripes, besides her medical conditions, is the fact that she has to put up with Marisa Kirisame on the daily. This didn't get any better when Patchy's temple, which acts as a secondary entrance to the SDM library, is oddly & inconveniently placed right next to Marisa's. To that end, she has began looking into ways to keeping the black-white magician out as much as possible. |
| 844 | ** It is unknown if Alice (Margatroid) had any involvement in it, but one such mechanism that Patchouli ended up trying was to create doll-like puppet versions of the more famed & infamed members of Gensoky to act as a defense mechanism. [[VideoGame/PatchCon While it did work]], Marisa & Patchy would come to blows once again when the former managed to get ahold of the blueprints the latter had for these puppets, and began producing her own. This led to both of their respective armies getting wiped out by Patchouli, along with any remaining manuals- [[VideoGame/TouhouNingyougeki and since, the puppets began mysteriously reproducing]]. |
| 845 | *** The Mob decided that a goddamn joyride was to be had, and taking possession of [[Characters/TouhouOtherOfficialWorks Maribel Hearn]], they went on their merry romp with the now-populous puppets. They eventually took it up to the top and claimed victory with a team of [[BornUnlucky Sanae]] (the puppet version), [[AscendedGlitch Chauzu]] (a Satori puppet that was confused to be a Kogasa puppet at first), [[ThrowTheBookAtThem A]] (a Tokiko puppet), [[MightyLumberjack AUUUUABBBB]] (a Momiji puppet), [[MemeticBadass BB]] (a Cirno puppet), and [[Characters/TouhouPC98 Mima]] ([[CastingAShadow the puppet version]]). Sanae & Cirno respectively didn't have much to say about the whole adventure the Mob took, but they along with Patchouli were impressed that they pulled it off. |
| 846 | ** What Alice ''was'' involved in, however, was a book-taking raid with Marisa that led Patchouli to meeting with Dr. Wily of all people for defense advice. The result, to put it lightly, is a [[VideoGame/MegaMari pretty intense renovation of her library]], and that's putting it lightly. However, their respective allegiances and alignments prevent them from being true allies, but at least see each other as friends. |
| 847 | ** Some other fellow library connoisseurs that Patchouli commonly would be seen with are Lex the Bookworm, Wan Shi Tong, and Angela & Roland. They visit each other’s libraries, perusing them for certain facets of knowledge or to entertain themselves with an amusing story or two, and in the case of the Library of Ruina in particular, perhaps even a spar. All five are also in agreement on one thing: At all costs, '''do not let Marisa Kirisame get away with stealing their books'''. They have hour-long strategy meetings on Sundays to formulate new plans and draft out defenses to keep the Ordinary Magician away from their shelves, and even though they’re foiled sometimes, they’re quick to rebound and get them back. Angela in particular joked during one meeting, “What if we all made a formal Pantheon group together that only has keeping Marisa away from our libraries as a commonality?” Since then, they’ve definitely kept that idea on the backburner. |
| 848 | ** However, when not at odds when it comes to book thievery, Patchouli & Marisa are actually fairly nice with each other. Sometimes, they trade advice over the usage of magic, and other times, they collaborate on magic projects. These moments of calm between the two are rather uncommon, however. |

So when Vivi finally decided to open the doors and step out of it after a long period of inactivity, many gods was understandably surprised. He has always been there, [[ShrinkingViolet it's just that he was too shy to show up]]. |
| 864 | ** Word has it that it took fellow black mages Arche Klein, Ram, Jade Curtiss and Gust to convince Vivi to finally step out of his temple. |
| 865 | ** Once he did, he was approached by one of the House Guardians, Sakura Kinomoto, who had tasked herself into getting this shy mage out of his shell and introduced him to his neighbors. Her overall friendliness helped him enjoy the tour. |
| 866 | * Vivi wasn't pleased to see Kuja in the Pantheon. The scars of his deeds, especially to the Black Mage people, run very deep. Even after Zidane managed to get him to [[HeelFaceTurn turn his life around]] and abandon the Warriors of Chaos, he'd rather not be around him any longer than he should, unless Zidane stays by his side. |
| 867 | * He's not fond of Black Mage, simply because he gives black mages like Vivi and many of his followers a bad reputation. Not to mention that he brings back bad memories of the [[EliteMook Black]] [[EvilCounterpart Waltz]]... |
| 868 | ** That said, this reputation has already been turned around for the better thanks to the actions of Wizardmon, who started out looking like a villain, but was working on behalf of the heroes the entire time. |
| 869 | * Vivi was an artificial being created to be used for war (he was also the very first of the black mages made), so he sympathizes with Amethyst and Illyasviel. His status as an artificial person also means that even though he looks 8 years old physically, [[YoungerThanTheyLook he's actually 6 months old]]. |
| 870 | * Since Vivi is practically a Black Magician, he and Yugi Muto has formed a friendship. Having previous experience with another card game, Tetra Master, Vivi is considering to learn to play Duel Monsters. Thankfully, he's still able to play the former thanks to Zidane introducing Tetra Master to the House of Gaming. |
| 871 | * Despises Anti-Mage and Amon because of their objectives. However, as he specializes in offensive magic, [[AntiMagic there's not much he can do against the former]]. |
| 872 | * Other changes in the House of Magic came, and while he was sad to see Rydia and Rosa depart, other arrivals soon came, such as Aerith (moving from the House of Narrative), as well as Pantheon newcomers Palom and Porom. The former likes him for his personality while the latter is impressed with his potential despite his lifespan, and how he got his own free will. |

| 886 | * OddFriendship: Eru Chitanda, [[Pantheon/LustfulActs Katsuragi]] |
| 887 | * [[TheMentor Mentor]]: [[Pantheon/NamingConvention Uther the Lightbringer]] |
| 888 | * After making her ascension she joined her teammates and fellow guild members in which she was warmly welcomed to the pantheon. |
| 889 | * She was once invited to join the Kids Next Door because of her skill despite her young age to take down the evil adults. She politely refused the invitation due to being a member of Fairy Tail but she will help them on occasions. |
| 890 | * She apparently has been targeted by Ornstein because he believes that only dragon slayer should him. |
| 891 | * She has befriended Houkago Tea Time, they note that she [[Creator/SatomiSato sounds very similar to]] Ritsu and looks like Azusa. Unfortunately for her, she gets glomped rather often by her Yui. |
| 892 | * She once encountered Black*Star and Katsuragi on two different occasions because she was told that they [[Creator/BrittneyKarbowski sound alike]]. When she encountered the former, he thought that she was a fan of his greatness and went on a rather long boast about how he believed that his greatness attracted her towards him, while the latter went on a weird speech on how being flat-chested is totally fine in her books. As a result she makes it her business to avoid the two whenever possible. |
| 893 | * She quickly made friends with Asia Argento because of the their gentle nature and [[HealingHands healing methods]]. |
| 894 | * Was horrified to learn that [[Pantheon/{{Categorism}} Acnologia]] had ascended, but has since [[{{Determinator}} steeled her resolve]]. Ever since, she has begun training alongside her fellow Dragonslayers for the inevitable clash. |
| 895 | * Some of the judges feel like she is being too specific about her position. This lead to a moment where [[VideoGame/SenranKagura Mirai]] attempted to become the Goddess of {{Token Mini Moe}}s, and took offence when Wendy tried to calm her down. However, her temper was because she did not want to be left behind, and agreed to patch things out with Wendy, and she managed to ascend in the end. |
| 896 | * Is good friends with Koneko, due to the fact that she reminds her very much in both [[CatsAreSnarkers personality]] and [[Creator/JadSaxton voice]] as her Exceed friend Carla, who is her High Priestess. |
| 897 | * Decided to joind Uther the Lightbringer's training to improve her combat and healing performance. Uther was surprised of the potential of the Young mage and that she is a dragonslayer to boot, but she still has a long way to go. |
| 898 | * Is sometimes confuse by others to be part of the Marvel Family with Bill Batson and that her real name is a superhero codename. Wendy always politely corrects the people's misinformation. On the bright side, she did became friends with the young hero. |
| 899 | * Gets along very well with Katsuragi for their similar [[BlowYouAway powers]], motifs and [[Creator/BrittneyKarbowski voices]], to the point that she actually thinks of the ninja like a CoolBigSis...though Katsuragi admits that Wendy is even stronger than her in [[spoiler:[[SuperMode Dragon Force]]]]; something she learned pretty quickly when [[ACupAngst she started groping others in the Dragon Slayer's eyesight]]. |

| 919 | * Opposed by: [[Pantheon/ActsOfHatred Arya and]] [[Pantheon/RomanticInterest Catelyn Stark]] |
| 920 | * Argus Filch is a caretaker in Hogwarts, born of a wizard and a witch. Despite this [[MuggleBornOfMages he has no magical abilities]], and as such is known as a squib. Though muggles have their own share of FantasticRacism thrown at them, squibs are looked down upon far more. This, combined with the brewing [[TheResenter resentment]] of being a MuggleBornOfMages, led him to be the {{Jerkass}} he is today. |
| 921 | * Despite being in the House of Magic, his position means that he's the ''only'' member who completely lacks magical powers-even AntiMagic is something he lacks. He's incredibly sour towards his own house because of it, though it's not like his already mean disposition was helping matters. One of the few gods [[PetTheDog he's nice to]] is Ikki Kurogane, who suffered parental abuse due to coming from a prestigious family of mages yet having very little magical prowess to speak of. |
| 922 | * [[UltimateJobSecurity It's unclear why he hasn't been fired]], given [[ChildHater how cruel he is to the students]] and even sided with ''[[HateSink Dolores Umbridge]]'' of all people (he even [[AbhorrentAdmirer fancies her]] for some unknown reason). It probably helps that he isn't actively evil, just really unpleasant and is loyal to his position as caretaker. |
| 923 | * As cruel as he can be, he opposes Voldemort just like the rest of Hogwarts. While incredibly difficult to get them to work together, [[EnemyMine he will work with Ron Weasely]] if it helps stop Voldemort once and for all. |
| 924 | * [[PetTheDog He is very close to his cat]], Mrs Norris. Despite how cruel he is [[ChildHater to kids]], he's genuinely fond of both Mrs Norris and cats in general. He's trying to get her ascended into the pantheon, but so far he's had no success. Some speculate she's his familiar, however [[WordOfGod J.K.Rowling]] [[{{Jossed}} has said she's just a normal, grouchy cat]]. |
| 925 | * Likes to demean the students, wishing he could use corporal punishment on them. He feels more comfortable in the House of School, much to the displeasure of the students in that house. He's struck a friendship with Denzel Crocker due to their contempt of their students, and will help his endeavor of getting magic/fairies if he can enforce corporal punishment. |
| 926 | * Filch is a major kill-joy, taking pleasure in taking away fun contraband like the Marauder's Map. He generally gets irate at fun things like Bacchus' parties, and can understand where Squidward's grumpiness is coming from |
| 927 | * Has an eternal rivalry with Peeves, the mischievous poltergeist always causing trouble. He's always tried to get rid of Peeves, but to no avail. He has come to hate Gengar out of this rivalry, due to him being a prankster ghost like Peeves. Any attempt to get rid of him has been even more of a failure than Peeves. |
| 928 | * Arya and Catelyn Stark went ballistic upon seeing him, [[Creator/DavidBradley since he looks like Walder Frey]]. [[Pantheon/{{Celebration}} Walder himself]] believes he's one of [[KavorkaMan his many bastards]]. The Hogwarts staff has had to inform them that they only look like each other. Even Argus, cantankerous as he is, [[EveryoneHasStandards considered the Red Wedding terrible]]. |
| 929 | * [[Pantheon/TimeAndTemporality The Doctor]] once mistook him for a late [[Recap/DoctorWhoS33E2DinosaursOnASpaceship enemy]] of his. The two have kept their distance ever since. However, it has been noted that he has a [[Creator/DavidBradley resemblance]] to [[Recap/DoctorWhoS36E12TheDoctorFalls the First Doctor]], causing the two to slowly, if grudgingly, patch things up between them. |
| 930 | * Given his occupation (cleaning can easily be done by magic and there are house elves hired), his inability to cast magic yet be able to be there in a jiffy if Mrs. Norris senses a troublemaker, and his apparent lack of a sleep schedule, [[https://youtu.be/MwSNkTl7dDs one wonders if he's actually]] a squib at all [[spoiler:and not instead a poltergeist manifested from the desires of teachers and prefects to maintain order, making him the opposite of Peeves]]. |
