| 24 | * EvilCounterpart to: '''[[Pantheon/HeroicArchetypes The Exile]]''' |
| 25 | * Darth Nihilus was a human who lived thousands of years ago during the conflict between the Jedi and Sith Empire. He survived the devastation brought about by the Mass Shadow Generator, the only living thing left on Malachor V. He became enormously powerful in the Dark Side, but at the cost of no longer being truly human. Described as a wound in the Force, he is the Lord of Hunger and slave to a desire to feast on life and the Force. |
| 26 | * Initially a member of the pantheon, but fell out of relevance with his position as "God of HorrorHunger" being taken by Merkava. A PowerParasite who feeds off the Force, which only worsens his dependency. Nihilus is increasingly famished and sanity is nowhere in sight with him. [[TheUnintelligible Even his speech is indecipherable]], a terrible BlackSpeech some say is the true ancient Sith language. |
| 27 | * Though a Sith powerful in the Dark Side, it's lip service at best. Nihilus doesn't care about ''anything'' but satiating his unending hunger, it's just that the Sith were the easiest means of obtaining it. Eventually, after he kills all the Jedi, he’ll destroy all of his fellow Sith too, then everything else as well. Palpatine was interested in him due to what he might say about the Dark Side and was initially planning to use him, but Nihilus didn’t fall for Palpatine’s manipulations. In fact, by seeing him in action, Palpatine became [[HorrifyingTheHorror absolutely horrified by what he sensed in Nihilus]] and was absolutely convinced that Nihilus needed to be destroyed ASAP. |
| 28 | * Why did he go away in the first place? Ungoliant ''ate'' him. [[TooSpicyForYogSothoth She almost died from food poisoning]]. Embodying a hunger and darkness that can never be sated, the two can barely be near each other without their respective eldritch presence causing further damage and being so famished they try to [[{{Autocannibalism}} eat themselves]]. Their endless hunger leads them instead to compete for food. The Pantheon/GrandUnitedAllianceOfGood fears the day they ever [[EnemyMine set their differences aside]]. |
| 29 | * It's difficult for such a being to even have allies, but the closest he has found is the Pantheon/GrandUnitedAllianceOfDestruction. While Nihilus would rather plenty of food remain, [[OmnicidalManiac his inevitable endgame]] makes him a useful front soldier. As the Force is an energy field generated of sorts by life, the Life Entity is an attractive source of power. He serves as one of their [[TheBrute brutes]] and is kept in line so long as they don't interfere with his meals. |
| 30 | * Oryx seems to be the only entity with anything approaching pity for Darth Nihilus. A fellow HumanoidAbomination who shares his HorrorHunger, the lich avoided being totally dominated by his hunger due to the Tithe System in place making it that he doesn't have to personally scour the cosmos to sustain himself. A faithful lieutenant helped him overcome this, and he wants to help Nihilus overcome being overwhelmed by his endless hunger. The lingering particles of humanity deep inside Nihilus responded positively to this. |
| 31 | * If there's any shred of empathy left in him, it's saved for Gluttony the Voracious and Giygas. The former is saddled with HorrorHunger, though unlike him Gluttony may not need to actually eat. The latter was someone driven into a mad abomination, like him. Though the mindlessness of Giygas makes being an actual ally to it impossible. |
| 32 | * Wears a mask meant to help bind him physically along with his robes, else his own [[EldritchAbomination inconceivable nature]] might rob him of a body. It retains great power even after his death. It's not even known if there's a face behind the mask, [[spoiler:though Visas Marr states otherwise]]. He seems to have based it on No Face's mask, who really doesn't like the association. |
| 33 | * Has wiped the life and Force from entire worlds, and would probably be the most powerful Sith that ever lived if he wasn't shackled by his hunger. Running almost completely on instinct, it is unsurprising that he rarely gets involved with the alliances or the pantheon. The Unbidden consider him a rival as, like him, they wish to devour a universe full of life, but if their EnemyCivilWar with the Aberrant and Vehement is any indication they don't share. |
| 34 | * Unicron sought out the life-devouring Nihilus to serve as his agent, as did Famine the Horseman due to recognizing the absolute hunger of the Sith Lord. These other lords of hunger are useful enough for Nihilus to go along and work with them for food. He was interested in [[Pantheon/{{Consumption}} Galactus]], but despite the CosmicEntity being a PlanetEater, [[EvenEvilHasStandards Galactus considers him an abomination]] and utterly unnatural compared to his role of rejuvenating and being an essential part of the universe. |
| 35 | * Seems to have difficulty interacting with other [[PowerParasite power parasites]], given his interaction with Meetra Surik. He can't even touch Anne Marie/Rogue without the backlash hurting him, though she doesn't take it well at all, because when she touched him, she saw the void inside of him like Palpatine did, and was downright horrified. Then there's Jack Harkness, whose immortality was so great that he ended up "over-eating" and withered away from PhlebotinumOverload, like how Jack's immortal life force killed the demon Abaddon. |
| 36 | * However, that being said, even though he has trouble against other [[PowerParasite power parasites]], the opposite is also true, as they have trouble against him as well. One case of this happened a while ago, when Lord Tirek was freed and started draining magic users once again. Tirek went on a rampage and he eventually managed to become even more powerful than he was during his defeat at the hands of Twilight Sparkle. However, [[Pantheon/{{Superheroism}} Batman]] had a plan for this ([[CrazyPrepared because of course he did]]). Batman had a few deities with non-magic teleporting powers teleport Tirek to the house of language...where he met Darth Nihilus. Tirek, unaware of [[HumanoidAbomination Nihilus’s]] [[HorrorHunger true]] [[PowerOfTheVoid nature]], tried to drain the Sith Lord to see if his powers worked on force-users...[[TooSpicyForYogSothoth which of course backfired spectacularily]], [[NoSell in a manner ironically similar]] to Nihilus’s own defeat at the hand of Meetra Surik (except that this time, Nihilus was obviously on the opposite end). Nihilus completely drained Tirek and almost completely devoured him whole, with Tirek barely escaping within an inch of his life. Since then, Tirek has done everything in his power to avoid the House of Language and Darth Nihilus. Tirek also opposes Nihilus [[EvenEvilHasStandards out of principle]]. [[EvilVersusOblivion In his eyes]], Nihilus is much, MUCH worse than he is and he considers the Sith Lord to be an abomination that needs to be destroyed ASAP, [[HorrorHunger due to what]] [[HumanoidAbomination Nihilus is]] [[OmnicidalManiac and what he plans to do to the rest of existence]]. |
| 37 | * A while ago, the Dementors encountered(on separate occasions) both Ungoliant and Darth Nihilus. They tried to feed on them, but this backfired due to Nihilus’s [[HorrorHunger nature]] and his [[PowerOfTheVoid power]]. Instead, they both ended up feeding on the Dementors...only to get food poisoning again, just like Ungoliant did when she ate Nihilus a while ago, due to the Dementors' status as amortal beings. However, this, along with Nihilus’s mastery of the dark side, actually impressed the dementors, who decided to aknowledge both Nihilus and Ungoliant as potential new masters should something happen to Voldemort. Naturally, the mere idea of Nihilus having an army of Dementors at his beck and call is quite terrifying for a majority of the Pantheon. |
| 38 | * Generally, the Jedi and the Sith distrust each other and will always fight one another. However, there is ONE person [[EnemyMine they can all agree to unite against]]: Nihilus himself. This is because while the other Sith seek to conquer and rule everything, Nihilus just wants to [[HorrorHunger devour]] [[OmnicidalManiac it all]]. Nihilus is one of the few people that are so dangerous that both the Jedi and the Sith will begrudgingly set their differences aside to temporarily ally against. Naturally, the Sith and Jedi aren’t too happy about it, but they have no choice. Palpatine is especially repulsed by the idea, but deep down, [[EvilVersusOblivion he knows that if Nihilus isn’t stopped, he won’t have anything left to rule over]]. |
| 39 | * ''"He cares nothing for the Sith or its teachings... or the Jedi. And when the Jedi are dead, he will feed on the galaxy, the Republic, and eventually, consume the Sith as well."'' -Kreia, [[spoiler:His former Sith master]]. |

| 59 | * [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6vcUNUarrZA NO]] Respect from: [[Pantheon/MilitaryRanks Gabriel Angelos]] |
| 60 | * Not to be confused with: [[Pantheon/SoldierArchetypesAtoM Leman Russ]] |
| 61 | * One day, the Pantheon was doing their own business, when SUDDENLY, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_1zMF53jmbE Indrick Boreale came in riding a drop pod]] in deep strike, and landed. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LJMLfACod48 He then cited his infamous speech]] and named the entire Pantheon, BOREALUM! Not many of the deities took him seriously, even few of them just laughed at him, despite being a Space Marine. |
| 62 | * An ardent practitioner of the strategy "Steel Rain," (or as how he would pronounce it, "STEEL REHN"), he would use a load of drop pods to deploy his forces immediately into combat. Good for offensive missions, but rather sucky on defensives, especially since he never made second thoughts about dropping the entire chapter into the enemy, instead only drop a few Marines one or two at a time. |
| 63 | ** When this fails, he um... Usually sends a bunch of Rhino transports to lead the attack, which pretty much any competent commander can do. But for some reason, people would express shock when he does it, as evident when he did this to [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cO3MttgvHUY Firraveus Carron]], just to trigger the latter's hatred of METAL BOXES. |
| 64 | ** In fact, the House of War give him a lot of shit for being a terrible commander, especially for a Space Marine. Not that they were wrong, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DXkSM7F_bac this is what he thought was the best strategy]]. |
| 65 | * He gained no respect from his fellow Blood Ravens, blaming him for the loss of the Kaurava Campaign and the deaths of 5 whole companies, which nearly left them on the brink of destruction. While Gabriel Angelos respects many of his brothers, he couldn't believe that Boreale studied under him and STILL fucked up. And Cyrus does not want to speak about it. |
| 66 | ** Speaking of Cyrus, the two never looked eye-to-eye during the Kaurava Campaign. When Cyrus was under his command, leading the Scout Marines, he suggested a more unorthodox tactics and stealth, in which he opposes, despite Davian Thule, the commander that lead the successful Kronus campaign, actually saw some uses and support it. Cyrus tells him that many of his Scouts died and they are all in your hands, and leave it as that. |
| 67 | * Despite the lack of respect from his fellow Blood Ravens, he somehow got the respect of the Alfa Legion (not to be confused with the Alpha Legion), who were founded based on his teachings. |
| 68 | * [[Pantheon/{{Popularity}} Eliphas]] is amused of this man. He couldn't believe that the Blood Raven would have an incompetent Commander like him and thought that they were a lot smarter than this. Though, he admits that at least he's not Firraveus Carron. |
| 69 | ** [[ItMakesSenseInContext During his quest for Abaddon's arms]], he noted that the Ancient removed his helmet and revealed to be Boreale back from the dead. Though he only stayed a while and was distracted by another matter, so he couldn't directly confirm it, but this is only a rumor as the Ancient's identity is revealed to be Sergeant Tarkus. |
| 70 | * The Sisters of Battle want him to burn for his action against the Order of the Sacred Rose in the Kaurava Campaign, an act against the orders of the Ecclesiarchy. |

| 95 | * It is said that the worst evil is born from a broken heart. A certain (former) High Councillor and a certain arms merchant/bioterrorist would wholeheartedly agree with that claim. [[BigScrewedUpFamily Most of the blame regarding why the Mishima family is so screwed up]] falls onto Kazumi Hachijō Mishima. And thanks to Celestia Ralgris, her ascension has just been cleared. For Kazumi's ex-husband and son, this is gonna be one awkward reunion. And that's not counting her grandson and his mother, of both whom also got the Devil Gene... |
| 96 | ** Some of the deities wonder why would Celestia Ralgaris would ally herself with Kazumi, given as [[NiceJobBreakingItHero how she royally screwed up her husband and son]]. Turns out that Kazumi was formerly Celestia's High Priestess. While Kazumi admits that she could've done the job a bit better, she has no regrets as to how things turned out. |
| 97 | * The Hachijō Clan's origins stem from Kyoto, their trade being that of assassins, targeting and assassinating those who would pose a threat to the world, working in the shadows. Aside from being a clan of assassins, they also are the inheritors of the demonic power known as the Devil Gene, making them human-demon hybrids. It would be five years into her marriage to Heihachi Mishima that Kazumi was given her marching orders: assassinate her husband. [[StartOfDarkness Kazumi's death at Heihachi's hands would lead the Mishima down a dark path of attempted patricide and filicide]], ending with Heihachi's demise. |
| 98 | ** As an assassin herself, Kazumi is occasionally seen playing hostess to some of the Pantheon's nicer assassins, chatting them up over tea inside her temple. Assassins the like of Shay Cormac and Christie? Not so much. Ironically enough, it was an attack from the latter that led to both Heihachi and Kazumi to team up and drive her off. Afterwards, Heihachi tearfully apologized for killing her. In turn, Kazumi apologized for not telling him the truth and everything else. Now, Kazumi must seek out her estranged son and meet her grandson. |
| 99 | * Kazumi is the Joanna Lannister to Heihachi's Tywin. Only difference is that Heihachi killed her in self-defense when she tried to kill him. Heihachi has found out about Kazumi's ascension, but has kept his distance, as the emotional wounds are too deep, even now. The same can be said regarding Kazuya, who also have fond memories of his mother. So when it was revealed that she sicced Akuma on both him and dear old dad, that really stung. |
| 100 | ** In an interesting sidenote, the tiger seen on the back of Heihachi's gi is in homage to her. Kazumi had picked up on her hubby's quirks regarding exotic pets. Kazumi's pet just so happens to be a pet tiger (her "good kitty"), of which she can summon at will. It's a trait shared with Sagat, as it's through her pet tiger and Sagat's own pet tiger, Willa Maiu, that the pair became friends. |
| 101 | * While Kazumi admitted to calling in a boon that Akuma had promised her as payment for tending his wounds in the past in an effort to stop her former husband and son, she is pretty much innocent in regards to Geese Howard. His appearance at the King of Iron Fist tournament was all him. Speaking of Akuma, the Master of the Fist visited Kazumi at her temple in a show of respect. |
| 102 | * As a practitioner of Karate, she has become a de facto ''kohai'' of sorts to the younger ''karateka'', among them being Makoto. |
| 103 | * Due to her connections to Akuma, Kazumi knows that Ansatsuken is an assassin's art. She also knows that Gouken had taught Ryu and Ken a non-lethal variant of Ansatsuken. But with their respective dark sides, Kazumi vows to keep an eye on both men in the event they actually become a threat. Fortunately, Ken's saving grace is that he's a family man and well-liked, while Ryu was able to master the Power of Nothingness. |
| 104 | * Kazumi had something of a kinship with Hokuto. Both are traditional Japanese women with dark sides, with Kazumi being the more dangerous of the two. Hokuto doesn't seem to mind the fact that Kazumi is an assassin. After all, she has nothing to hide. |
| 105 | * ''Honki deki de kudasai. Sana ato, shinimasuyo.'' (Give me everything you've got. Otherwise you'll die.) |

| 127 | * Aliens have arrived on Earth and people are trying to figure out what’s going on and what these aliens want from them. One of the aliens’ spacecraft is in Montana and linguist Louise Banks is tasked to communicate with these aliens on behalf of the USA. With the help of physicist Ian Donnelly, Louise learns about these Heptapods (with the ones she’s communicating with given the nicknames Abbott and Costello) and the circular language that they communicate with. Louise gradually learns that the Heptapods want to give the people of Earth their form of language, which allows them to see time in a non-linear fashion and would eventually be used to save the Heptapods in the far future. It’s through these visions of the future that Louise is able to contact China’s leader to get him to prevent a catastrophe regarding these aliens (and in doing so, allow the rest of the world to better understand the Heptapods) and come to terms with the death of her eventual daughter Hannah and subsequent relationship fallout with Ian because of what would happen to Hannah. |
| 128 | * Time had passed since Hannah’s death and Louise’s separation from Ian when Louise started getting some visions of herself in a place with characters she wasn’t familiar with. During these visions, Louise would end up seeing the Heptapods’ spaceships and the aliens themselves, despite having already resolved the matter with them. As it turned out, the Heptapods discovered a place known as the Pantheon and, as dangerous of a place the Pantheon would be to their kind and Louise, Louise’s vision had her learn that the Heptapods would need the help of not only her, but others who can understand their intentions and make the Pantheon a better place for others. After that vision of the future came to an end, a message addressed to Louise from people in the Pantheon arrived solidifying the involvement of her and the Heptapods and thus, Louise’s journey in that strange place from her vision began. |
| 129 | * Louise learned that she wasn’t the only one out there to have gotten involved in an alien invasion where the aliens in question meant no harm to others. Setsuna F. Seiei encountered the ELS, a group of alien lifeforms that was very difficult to understand (and the initial meetings between the ELS and others ended up getting violent) until Setsuna managed to make contact with them and learned what their true intentions were. Much like how those who understand the Heptapods such as Louise are able to learn their language and see time in a non-linear manner, those who accept a part of the ELS into themselves like Setsuna become ELS hybrids. Setsuna and Louise have talked to each other about alien communication, with Setsuna’s expertise on the battlefield when not piloting a giant robot being put to good use if Louise ends up being endangered by someone willing to stop her. While she isn’t willing to be an ELS hybrid, she is willing to help Setsuna understand the Heptapod language with the help of said aliens and the fact that learning such a language can allow people to see events that haven’t happened yet intrigued Setsuna. |
| 130 | * Being someone who has communicated with aliens, it wouldn’t take long before Louise ended up encountering the Men in Black, specifically Agents J and K from that organization. During her conversation with them, the agents were wondering what exactly she meant when she told them that she was expecting that kind of meeting to happen and as the two learned, it wasn’t nearly as simple as just meeting aliens. After learning of what the Heptapods and what learning their language can do to others, J and K told Louise to be careful if someone wants to abuse the Heptapods’ language for their own benefit, especially since the Heptapods’ language can let others see into the future if learned. J and K also said to her that there were plenty of other aliens out there and that not only do some of these aliens not offer anything as substantial compared to the Heptapods, but some of them are willing to kill her and the Heptapods if they get too close. |
| 131 | ** In addition to learning about the multitude of aliens that MIB has encountered and having concerns about what the neuralyzers can do to someone who has learned the Heptapods’ language, Louise learned that J traveled back in time to help a young K and encountered Griffin, an entity that can see many different futures across different realities. This ended up being a lot to take in for Louise as while the Heptapods can see far ahead in the future, it’s not to the same level as that as Griffin’s, let alone being able to see different kinds of futures. Given that Louise can only see ahead of time to her own future wherever that may lead, Griffin seeing different futures for many other individuals he’s with (herself included if that time comes), led her to wonder if it's possible for the Heptapods’ language to include more than what she already knows. All things considered, Griffin is a friendly fellow who Louise has no antagonism towards, but him seeing multiple timelines did make her realize that what J and K said about meeting figures that can do far more advanced things with what one is familiar with was true. |
| 132 | * By default, the Heptapods see time in a non-linear fashion and those who understand their language like Louise will be able to do the same. There were some in the Pantheon who were able to do such a thing without the need to understand the Heptapods such as Clockwork. True to his name, he also happened to be one of a number of entities themed around time and can see what can possibly happen in the future, as well as past events. Clockwork is more than aware of the dangers that can occur if someone were to use the language of the Heptapods for evil and considering that it’s his job to make the sure the timestream is stable, he’s willing to make sure that whatever it is the Heptapods want (since Louise, who served as a translator for the Heptapods during their meeting with him so that he can better understand them, knows that the aliens mean well) that it will be kept in good hands, even if him learning such a language isn’t required for someone like him. |
| 133 | * For the most part, whatever future happens for those that learn the Heptapods’ language (Louise included) have generally accepted it as an event that will occur later on. Louise learned that there were people such as Shulk who have seen future events, but have gone out of their way to change the outcome. While she has accepted her child’s death and failed marriage after learning the Heptapods’ language, finding out that people have tried to change the outcome of a future event was something that she wasn’t sure how to feel about it. There are plenty of bad events that can occur to others, Louise included, but the Pantheon being very different from her home meant that it was possible for people to change their destinies for the better. While accepting a predetermined fate from learning the Heptapods’ language won’t appeal to everyone, Louise feels that everyone should make the most of their life, regardless of whether or not the outcome can change. |
| 134 | * The Heptapods’ language has been translated not only to English, but in the other languages that originated in the places where these aliens originally landed. The translations of the Heptapod language has since expanded to real-world languages from locations where the Heptapods originally didn’t land and as Louise learned, the Pantheon was home to a multitude of other languages neither she nor the Heptapods knew about beforehand. Most of these unorthodox languages have already been translated to English or other real-world languages and while they’re generally harmless, there are some languages such as what was spoken by Darth Nihilus that proved deadly to others, herself and the Heptapods included. Some of these deadly languages aren’t translated to other languages, but Louise is concerned about what would happen if these kinds of entities were able to understand the Heptapods language and use it to their own ends. |
| 135 | * Various other nations such as China had to deal with the Heptapods’ arrival alongside the USA, with these nations’ own military forces also involved and, in some cases, ready to retaliate against these aliens. While Louise was able to get China to back off from military action, the Pantheon had plenty of military forces that are far less likely to be reasonable towards her or the Heptapods when it comes to alien encounters. The Black Ops are a unit dedicated to keeping anything related to alien events a secret and not only are willing to use deadly measures to pull of their mission, but would not hesitate to eliminate Louise and the Heptapods if it meant getting a step closer to preventing any records of alien encounters in the Pantheon from getting out. Considering how many of the other groups dedicated to stopping evil aliens hate the Black Ops, Louise knows that they’re going to be a much bigger problem than some of her own military members that were distrustful of the Heptapods. A similar issue is also present in regards to the more antagonistic members of the HECU and while there are members of the HECU that aren’t as problematic as the Black Ops or the worst of the HECU, Louise isn’t sure whether or not those who just want to fight against aliens believe her regarding the Heptapods’ intentions. |
| 136 | * As for the other aliens present in the Pantheon, some are as friendly as the Heptapods (and less mysterious with their intentions), but others posed a threat to many and while some are simply content with destroying everything around them, other extraterrestrials wanted to rule over others. The Combine were a major danger to the Pantheon, but what Louise was more worried about was that a human by the name of Wallace Breen served as major player for The Combine. In a way, Breen served as an evil counterpart for Louise when it came to supporting a specific type of alien lifeform, but while those who support The Combine have plenty of weapons, those who understand the Heptapods can see ahead of time and that includes the possibility of an attack by The Combine. Breen sees both The Heptapods and Louise as problems for both himself and The Combine as while they aren’t ones to directly fight, what can be gained from learning the language of the Heptapods will likely impede any progress The Combine will make on conquering the Pantheon. |
| 137 | * Despite the tensions that are present between aliens and humans in the Pantheon, there are some that are willing to open up to more professional relations between the two when it comes to the world at large. The Alliance of Free Stars was one such group that was well-versed in the political side of human-alien relations, with The Arilou in particular being interested in Louise and the Heptapods thanks to The Arilou’s fascination with humanity’s development. With what the Heptapods can provide to the world and how Louise played a role in it, The Arilou believe that those two figures can provide an additional key to helping The Alliance of Free Stars in their matters. Dealing with extraterrestrial political figures was going to take some getting used to, but if Louise and the Heptapods believe that it can let others understand human-alien relations better, they’re willing to take the time to get accustomed to working on a large undertaking. |

| 149 | * Domains: Atypical Dwarves, Language, Secret Shops, Thieves |
| 150 | * Allies: [[Pantheon/CommercialArchetypes Anna, Recette Lemongrass]], [[Pantheon/OtherCreatures the Temmies]] |
| 151 | * Enemies: '''[[Pantheon/LimbsAndJoints Krobus]]''' |
| 152 | * Before the Pantheon could ascend the Dwarf, volunteers from both the Houses of Pantheon/{{Quirks}} and Pantheon/{{Knowledge}} had to compile as much information as they possibly could on the Dwarvish language before they could even begin to speak to them. It was the only language they knew, after all. Once the Gods were confident enough in their Dwarvish, they offered the Dwarf a position in the House of Language as the Deity of Language Barriers because they were what many would call a walking language barrier. The Dwarf did nothing less than jump at the opportunity to become a deity. |
| 153 | * Their excitement was short-lived, however, when they found out that Krobus had also ascended. They were ''furious'' over having to share the Pantheon with him. The Dwarf and Krobus had a bit of a past conflict. They have a grudge against the Shadow People because they were responsible for the death of her entire family. They ''[[FantasticRacism hate]]'' them. |
| 154 | * The Dwarf runs a small shop in the Pantheon where they sell various scrounged up items. What they usually fail to tell everyone, though, is that a good chunk of the items are ''stolen''. The Dwarf bonds with Anna, Recette Lemongrass, and the Temmies over their shops. They're also friends with Krobus for the same reasons, though, and unfortunately cannot all meet together because of the Dwarf's beef with Krobus. Anna, Recette, and the Temmies really wish the Dwarf would realize that Krobus was not at all responsible for the death of their family. |
| 155 | * The Dwarf is somewhat envious of [[Pantheon/MagicArchetypes Marisa Kirisame]]. They just ''really'' want a [[Pantheon/{{Thieves}} Murkow]]. |
| 156 | * The Dwarf really admires [[Pantheon/{{Thieves}} Sly Cooper]] for his amazing thievery skills. The two of them have attempted to communicate before, but neither of them are particularly adept in each other's languages. [[Pantheon/ScientistsAndGeniuses Bentley]] thinks he might be able to help translate for them, though. |
| 157 | * The Dwarf is a bit resentful of [[Pantheon/MagicArchetypes Vivi Ornitier]] and [[Pantheon/{{Headwear}} Blizz]] because they sometimes get confused for them. They know that the both of them can't really help that, but it's still really annoying. |
| 158 | ** The Dwarf would also like to take this time to make it very clear that no, they are most definitely '''not''' a [[Franchise/FinalFantasy Black Mage]] or [[Franchise/StarWars Jawa]]. While the Dwarf is now a regular at the Mos Eisley Cantina on [[Pantheon/{{Planets}} Tatooine]], their first visit there proved to be extremely awkward when everyone inside thought they were a Jawa. |
| 159 | * An awkward incident occurred when [[Pantheon/CharacterWriting Ben Tennyson's]] Omnitrix scanned the Dwarf's DNA, allowing him to acquire a Dwarven form. This is when it really started getting out to the rest of the Pantheon that the Dwarf was in fact an ''alien''. Having a human parade around as a member of their species also proved to be pretty unnerving to the Dwarf. Ben has become unavoidable, too, seeing as he can fluently speak and understand Dwarvish in his Dwarf form. As such, Ben is often used as a translator for the Dwarf. |
| 160 | ** Of course, said incident with Ben Tennyson's Omnitrix did not go unnoticed by [[Pantheon/PlainNeutral Agents K and J]], who now observe the Dwarf in secret. |
| 161 | * The Dwarf doesn't really have any opinion on [[Pantheon/{{Cultures}} the Farmer]]. He seems nice enough, but he doesn't give them nearly as many presents as the [[VideoGame/StardewValley farmer]] they used to know did. |
| 162 | * The Dwarf seems to be extremely rapacious for anything of the shiny and valuable variety. Gem stones are a favorite, and giving them to the Dwarf is a surefire way to get them on your good side. They are often seen looking for gems in the House of Pantheon/MetalAndMinerals. |
| 163 | ** Unfortunately, these frequent visits eventually led the Dwarf to discover [[Pantheon/MaximumSecurity corrodium]] buried in the House. They remember very little of what happened in that moment, but according to the members of the House that had ended up having to subdue them, they were grossly mutated and had been lashing out at everyone in a very animalistic manner. Luckily the Dwarf was not exposed to the substance for too long, and they returned to normal before too long. Because of this incident, any and all corrodium in the House was excavated and locked up in Maximum Security. |
| 164 | * [[Pantheon/{{Economics}} Moneybags]] often finds that quite a few of his gems are missing. Fortunately for the Dwarf, the bear still has no idea [[StickyFingers why his gems keep disappearing]]. |
| 165 | * Most people in the Pantheon cannot tell at a glance if the Dwarf is [[AmbiguousGender male, female, or neither]]. They have yet to disclose this information, and many deities have started making bets on what their gender is. The Dwarf has actually started to rival [[Pantheon/GenderSexMiscellaneous Crona]] in terms of debate on their gender. They have also yet to disclose their true name. |
| 166 | * People have also deliberated on what they think those nubs on the Dwarf's headgear are meant for. What are they hiding under there? Ears, horns and antennae have all been tossed around. Some deities even think that the nubs are just for decoration and there isn't really anything special under there. |

| 186 | * Uncomfortable Around: [[Pantheon/{{Pokemon}} Pokémon trainers in general]] |
| 187 | * Conflicting Opinion: [[Pantheon/VillainousSuccessAndFailure Team Rocket]] |
| 188 | * When Inori Yamabuki joined her fellow Fresh Pretty Cures in the House of Pantheon/LuckAndFortune, this seat was left empty as many of the potential holders already possessed other titles. And then they found one in the form of Eliza Thornberry, who is best known for this ability (apart from those who have already ascended with other titles). In addition to that, she can also imitate any sound they make, which she occasionally uses to great effect to scare or distract others. |
| 189 | * In regards to [[TheMasquerade Eliza's powers being lost if she tells anybody about them]], there were negotiations with the shaman who gifted her powers to not do that while she's in the Pantheon, as 1) her ascension ''already'' gives away the fact that she has these powers, 2) there are several other individuals with the same gift, and 3) having {{secret keeper}}s be [[spoiler:turned into baboons if they tell anyone]] would be impossible to do for him, given how powerful some of the Pantheon's deities are. |
| 190 | * Naturally, just because someone can talk to animals doesn't mean they can reason with them completely, and she knows this full well. Additionally, she isn't as experienced with (deep sea) aquatic animals as she is with the ones that live on land, as her family don't travel to the ocean often. |
| 191 | ** She doesn't understand why the Killer Rabbit of Caerbannog is what it is and wishes to try and understand, but is discouraged from attempting to communicate with it as she doesn't have any additional "defensive measures", unlike [[Pantheon/FriendshipAndCamaraderie Flutt]][[Pantheon/NaturePreservers ershy]], who ran into him before and only barely escaped thanks to [[DeathGlare the Stare]], flight, and general pony durability. |
| 192 | * Knows not to risk getting involved with [[Pantheon/MonsterHunter the beasts the Monster Hunters]] often hunt, as 1) she hasn't tried out her powers on animals that aren't Earth-based 2) things can get ''really'' dicey when the monsters clash with them (or anybody trying to hunt them at the moment). [[DieOrFly She hopes she doesn't get into a situation where she has to try it out]]. |
| 193 | ** She still doesn't know that much of the limits of her powers in the Pantheon, but it seems that while here, she's capable of understanding Pantheon/{{Pokemon}}, too. Though she finds the whole Trainer thing a bit morally questionable; sure they're sort-of-pets, but fighting on their Trainer's behalf is not something she likes. She has had quite a few conversations with N on the subject. |
| 194 | *** There is one exception to this rule, and that was formed after seeing Hareta fight alongside his own Pokemon in nothing more than a pair of shorts. When questioned by her afterwards, he just chipperly stated that Pokemon like fighting as a way to bond and develop friendships with each other, before talking with the Pokemon he was with as a way to double check himself. When she later asked, he responded saying he could talk and communicate deeply with them. It was at this point she became a bit more lenient on the whole fighting thing and has spent a good deal of time with Hareta. [[ShipTease Any questions about this developing into a crush has just led her to be flustered and shy.]] |
| 195 | ** [[Pantheon/{{Hats}} Raidou Kuzunoha]] and [[Pantheon/HairStyles Flynn]] warn her to be wary of [[Franchise/ShinMegamiTensei Beast Race demons]]. They might be sentient, but behave more like animals and don't have a particular care about ''who'' they eat. |
| 196 | * She's a little conflicted in regards to Team Rocket. On one hand, they're undeniably part of an organization that captures Pokémon for profit. On the other, they've done the occasional PetTheDog and are sort-of-{{friendly enem|y}}ies with [[Pantheon/{{Advertising}} Ash]] and company. |
| 197 | * Gets ''extremely'' embarrassed when she's reminded of the time [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MAADcaIHDig when her family tried to boost their documentary's ratings]], and significantly less so when people mention how [[MemeticMutation memetic]] her father is. |
| 198 | ** Speaking of her father, there was one time she nearly mistook [[Pantheon/VillainousAttitude Dr. Frank-n-Furter]] for him and almost paid the consequences. |
| 199 | * Can also be found in the [[Pantheon/BeastHandlers House of Beast]]. |

| 224 | * Special Relationship: [[Pantheon/BossFightsAToM Cackletta]] (his former superior) |
| 225 | * Out of all the foes that threatened the Mushroom Kingdom, Fawful stands out as one of the… oddest. Starting out as the witch Cackletta's lackey, Fawful would constantly get in the way of the Mario Bros. [[VideoGame/MarioAndLuigiSuperstarSaga during their quest to save the Beanbean Kingdom]], spouting utter nonsense during each encounter. Even after the demise of his boss, Fawful still persisted; [[VideoGame/MarioAndLuigiPartnersInTime laying low as a merchant during the Shroob invasion]] until rising up as a BigBad in his own right. This entailed spreading the Blorb virus, taking over Bowser's and Peach’s Castles, and ultimately attempting to harness the power of the Dark Star to wreak havoc on the Mushroom Kingdom and conquer it. He would’ve succeeded if it weren’t for Bowser and the Mario Bros. |
| 226 | * His ascension came with a carefully lined out plan of attacks. First, there was a break-in at the Hall of Pantheon/FireAndHeat while a good many of people were away. Later, people noticed, was that a strange device that radiates intense waves of heat was stolen. Not long after that, a massive block of ice had been stolen from the Hall of Pantheon/IceAndCold, which had been “generously” donated to it by Bowser. In a small patchwork house on a snowy mountain was where the ice was thawed by a device, revealing a blue, damaged PigMan named Midbus, who recognized the person that had freed him immediately. |
| 227 | --> '''Midbus:''' “Muh muh muh...Lord Fawful.“ |
| 228 | * Fawful then decided to explain the situation and the events that had happened after Midbus’ defeat, including the details of the Dark Star’s sentience and his defeat, as well as that of Dark Bowser’s. While surprised with these truths, Midbus was soon told of how Fawful had returned to life. After his demise, he had woken up in the sewers beneath the Hall of Pantheon/DarknessAndShadow with none of the Dark Power still in him. He proceeded to hide in the shadows beneath the surface of the Pantheon, putting together bits and pieces and learning about it. Upon learning that his hated enemies were present, and that one of them donated something that was referred to as a “frozen pig” to the Hall of Pantheon/IceAndCold, Fawful immediately knew what it was and quickly and furiously concocted a plan to not only make his presence known, free Midbus and strike back at his enemies, but also ascend to the Pantheon. He proceeded to quickly construct a small house on a snowy mountain after emerging from the sewers by the Hall of Pantheon/{{Locations}}. Building a few Mechawfuls, he had them break into the Hall of Pantheon/FireAndHeat while there weren’t many people around and steal a device he had learned about through eavesdropping that could melt any kind of ice, before having them steal the frozen Midbus after they gave him the stolen item. |
| 229 | ** After Fawful had explained everything, he and Midbus hid out on the snowy mountain for three weeks as the EvilGenius built robot after robot, preparing to make his presence known. Setting his sights on the House of Pantheon/MachineryAndTechnology, Fawful launched the attack on it to lure out his foes, which worked with the Mario Brothers. Bowser couldn’t care less, but once a Magikoopa who had been in the area reported the presence of odd mechas and explained what they looked like, Bowser dropped what he was doing and headed off to help kick Fawful’s ass once more. However, Bowser found himself locked in a rematch with Blizzard Midbus when he arrived, while the Mario Brothers took on Fawful. Mario, Luigi and Bowser succeeded in defeating them once again. However, Fawful’s way of speaking had gotten the attention of the Pantheon/CourtOfTheGods and was properly ascended during the fight, much to their displeasure and Fawful’s joy, as while he had lost for now, something had still gone JustAsPlanned. |
| 230 | * Fawful is a fantastic technological inventor, and even when reduced to hiding in the sewers, was able to make a comeback in a big way. His Mechawfuls are some of his robotic soldiers that aren’t any joke, and he has both a spray as well as some other methods to brainwash people. While unimpressive physically unless he has dark power within him, his intelligence, as well as his RayGun and Headgear that get NewPowersAsThePlotDemands, make him a very dangerous threat. The House of Pantheon/MachineryAndTechnology and the Halls of Pantheon/MindGames and Pantheon/MindControl were very interesting to him. He’s been planning on poaching some things from the former house for upgrades on his own technology and machines. |
| 231 | * '''Nothing''' short of being an OmnicidalManiac is off limits for Fawful, who wanted to conquer the world. The Dark Star’s ascension was partially his fault due to [[TheChessmaster discreetly drawing the attention of Nekron towards it]], who would soon come to find that it also posed a threat to ''[[HoistByHisOwnPetard him]].'' One more thing is that Fawful still intends to take the power of the Dark Star for himself. This time, however, rather than taking a small portion due to the interference of Bowser, he wants all of it, though he knows it’s going to be very difficult considering that the Dark Star isn’t dormant in the Pantheon. |
| 232 | * Frustrates [=WordGirl=] to no end, mainly due to Fawful’s way of speaking more than anything else. She was even more frustrated upon learning of his [[TheDragon Dragon]] Midbus, who talks in a more simplistic, yet still completely and absolutely flawed, manner. Fawful has no idea why [=WordGirl=] is worked up over the way he talks, but laughs at her every time she gets frustrated at him. On the other hand, Midbus simply told her that “Grammar is for the Weak” and walked away. Their World Domination plans have also earned her ire, and Fawful and his forces have found themselves facing off against her on multiple occasions. She’s also come to notice that he happens to be a living Bean, reminding her of a few villains that she has faced off against. Fawful even makes random food metaphors from time to time, “The mustard of your doom!” included. The fact that he happens to be more vile than most, if not all of her RoguesGallery has only strengthened her resolve in opposing him. |
| 233 | * Has taken a great deal of interest in another ArtifactOfDoom, Majora’s Mask, which, much like the Dark Star is sentient and holds great power. Fawful knows of the tales of [[DemonicPossession what the mask will do to those who wear it]] and that these stories are very much true. He didn’t plan on wearing the mask anyway and has no attention on letting it try to force him to do so. He wants to steal all of its insane power for himself, and Majora is completely and utterly unaware of Fawful’s plans for it. Fawful has been quietly waiting for a perfect opportunity to do this and has begun constructing devices to aid him in his goal of taking the power of Majora’s Mask for himself. |
| 234 | * Fawful’s taken an interest in Dark Gaia due to its Cataclysmic powers. He knows where this got Dr. Eggman, and the two have been collaborating to usurp it’s power under the arrangement that both of them get half of it. Fawful also believes that the Dark Gaia Creatures would also be very beneficial additions to his forces, and their plans for the EldritchAbomination have resulted in Sonic the Hedgehog and his friends deciding to oppose him. They were informed by the Mario Bros of the threat Fawful posed, and not to take him lightly. He also wants to hijack the Incubator HiveMind with his MindControl technology and add their endless ranks into his army for conquest. He also wants to replicate Life Fibers for the purpose of more means of mind control, and has taken a special interest in Nui Harime. |
| 235 | * While they won’t pull an EnemyMine with him ever, the Mario Bros, Peach and Bowser were quite stunned to learn that he had some of his saucers and Mechawfuls raze one of the Shroobs’ bases to the ground out of '''FURY!''' He declared his hatred for the Shroobs afterwards, stating, in his usual way of speaking, that at least ''he'' didn’t go as far as to try to destroy the world, only conquer it, pointing out that it was the Dark Star’s doing when Princess Shroob attempted to claim otherwise. He gets along far better with Antasma as both have quite the grudge against Bowser and the Mario Brothers and they have started a working alliance ever since they met in the Pantheon. |
| 236 | * When he heard of Cackletta’s ascension, he decided not to approach her, knowing that she was no longer needed. This didn’t stop Cackletta from learning about his exploits, and while impressed with what Fawful managed to do, was also quite irked that he planned on offing her when he had the chance. To be fair, she isn’t just impressed with him, but quite proud. Fawful is the only person she really cares about, and while he was going to betray her, she has decided to oppose the Child Abuse Supporters and other people who would target kids specifically like Champ, Father and Pennywise for his sake. |
| 237 | * The Mad Bean Person gets along extremely well with Kaos. While the two villains have their quirks, both of them spout the word doom a lot and are [[NotSoHarmlessVillain far more dangerous than they appear.]] While Fawful’s Engrish was tough for him to wrap his head around at first, Kaos eventually got used to it. That being said, he is disturbed by the Dark Star that Fawful seeks to control, finding it [[spoiler:similar to an entity he once worked with known as The Darkness, which promptly backstabbed him during their plan to destroy their enemies.]] Fawful also respects Sauron for bailing on Melkor, seeing it as similar to his own decision with Cackletta. While finding him annoying, Sauron wouldn’t turn down a potential ally as smart as Fawful, especially after learning of [[BewareTheSillyOnes how dangerous he can be.]] |
| 238 | * Is interested in the Death Phantom’s Malefic Black Crystal, which Fawful likes to refer to as “The Crystal of Darkness!” He also sees usurping Chaos’ power as a bigger prize due to it not only being Wiseman’s creator, but also having many different abilities as well and being a GodOfEvil and EternalVillain responsible for nearly everything bad that happened in that universe. They know of his plans, and while Wiseman plans on controlling him eventually with his MindControl powers (something that Fawful is aware of and is making an Anti-MindControl Spray for himself as well as his loyal [[TheDragon Dragon]] Midbus), Chaos doesn’t see him as worth its time and is content with just simply ignoring the EvilGenius. |
| 239 | * ''"And then the bad men came. Red and Green bad men. I had the punishment. Bad punishment with hammers and jumping on my head and the overheat of my ship. I have a little fury even with my remembering... Red! And green! A pair of jumping hammers in red and green who are looking like you! Those brothers of badness! My brain aches at their overalls!

| 257 | * OddFriendship with: [[Pantheon/FightingStyles Scorpion/Hanzo Hasashi]] (as they are both practicioners of Pi Gua Quan) |
| 258 | * {{Foil}}: [[Pantheon/NationalMentalities Remy (Street Fighter)]] |
| 259 | * The sound of a helicopter emblazoned with the logo of the Dead or Alive Tournament Executive Commitee was heard landing outside of the Pantheon's gates. From the helicopter, Helena Douglas emerges, having earned her ascension to the Pantheon in part of her successful attempt to transform DOATEC into a force of good. |
| 260 | * Helena's relationship with the ascended ninjas (Kasumi, Ryu Hayabusa and Ayane) is on somewhat shaky ground, due to Helena's company using both Hayate and Kasumi for their experiments and for Ayane trying to kill Helena on orders from the clan. |
| 261 | * Spends her time either inside her temple or in the House of Theatre, practicing her sonatas. She was an opera singer before taking over Papa Douglas's company, and likes to keep in practice. So much so that there is talk in the Pantheon about her holding a concert there. |
| 262 | * While she had been manipulated by the head of DOATEC's Development Department, who schemed to take over the company for himself, Helena ultimately maintained control of DOATEC after her father's passing. One of the man's schemes involved hiring a British assassin to kill her during one of her opera performances; however, her mother stepped in and took the bullet for her. |
| 263 | * With her ascension, DOATEC has gained a foothold in the Pantheon. Helena gets along with the other deities who operate conglomerates of their own, despite being business rivals. Of course, the deified business tycoons are at odds over who is the wealthiest in the Pantheon. |
| 264 | * Helena's fighting style is Pi Gua Quan. The style is Chinese in origin, consisting of powerful, sweeping actions which creates speed in the hips and the arms in order to create hard-hitting strikes, with the intention of causing confusion upon the opponent with constant motion. |
| 265 | ** The Ascended Kombatants know of Pi Gua Quan very well, as Scorpion himself is a practitioner of the style as well. Through this common bond of martial arts, a friendship is born between them. Of course, Helena admits that Hanzo is the better-skilled between the two. |
| 266 | * Rather than to erect the Tritower for her temple, Helena's temple is her personal ship, ''Freedom Survivor'', which is in port in the Pantheon's harbors. For Helena, it's better this way, as she values her privacy. |
| 267 | * As expected, Helena has enemies who are gunning for both her and DOATEC's secrets. Gill and his brother, Urien, top the list, as they both seek the long-sealed notes on Projects Epilson and Alpha, both for their own ends. |
| 268 | * The same can be said for the deified Shadaloo warlord, M. Bison, as he too seeks the forbidden notes of Epilson and Alpha, primarily to create a deadlier breed of super-soldiers. |
| 269 | * Helena also finds herself getting strange looks from some of the deities due to [[Creator/KarenStrassman her voice]]: |
| 270 | ** For Chris and Claire Redfield, if Helena dropped the French accent and spoke in an English one, [[VideoGame/ResidentEvilTheDarksideChronicles then she would sound an awful lot like Alexia Ashford]]. |
| 271 | ** The deified Kombatants (particulary the Cage Family, Jax and Jacqui Briggs), also note that if Helena dropped said French accent, then [[VideoGame/MortalKombat9 she would]] [[VideoGame/MortalKombatX be spot-on for Kitana or Mileena]]. |
| 272 | ** Third time's the charm, as [[VideoGame/StreetFighterIV Poison]] [[VideoGame/StreetFighterXTekken Kiss]] noted that Helena sounds a lot like her with the accent. |
| 273 | * '''Do not''' mention her live-action portrayal in [[Film/DOADeadOrAlive that godforsaken film]]. If there is one thing that she and the ascended ninjas agree on, it's that anyone who mentions that abomination will have their asses handed to them on a platter. |

| 287 | * {{Friendly Rival}}ry with: [[Pantheon/FamilyDysfunctions Kogoro Mouri]], [[Pantheon/{{Alcohol}} Captain Haddock]] |
| 288 | * He won this title over all others by basically becoming a carbon copy of Holmes, except for one slight difference. The difference was that he solved cases through psychology, while Holmes solved them through science. Mostly. |
| 289 | * Also, every single story he is in has at least one ShoutOut to Sherlock Holmes. |
| 290 | * He and Sherlock have a rivalry to see who can solve mysteries in the Pantheon faster. The score as of now has Holmes winning by a few cases. When told this, however, by Gods who want to incite trouble, Poirot just smiles and states that they both have solved all the cases, Holmes just does it slightly faster. And anyway, he considers his method superior for another reason: through it, he can avoid all that tedious legwork Holmes so exults in. Poirot has confessed this habit of Holmes (shared by old friend Arthur Hastings) leaves him utterly baffled - who wants to go to such ludicrous extremes when you can get the same results from your armchair? |
| 291 | * The word 'imitator' irks him slightly (although he is never seen to lose his composure over it), but he comes to accept it through reminding himself that Holmes himself was not truly the first of his kind, and that it is always possible for an imitator to surpass and overshadow the original ... as is the case, he believes, with Holmes and himself. |
| 292 | * Poirot was intrigued that the Classics Club had to deal with a case that was similar to one of his most famous cases, Literature/TheABCMurders, and impressed at the way that Oreki managed to solve the case. He was also flattered that [[https://images.sgcafe.net/2012/07/i0680858-1341537504_20120706143024-500x339.jpg Mayaka chose to cosplay as him]]. The costume was very well-made, and he was quite pleased at the show of recognition. |
| 293 | * Both himself and Tintin has formed a rather interesting dynamic. At first, the detective was skeptical that a mere child could have so many accolades under the belt. Tintin was quick to prove him wrong in their first case together. |
| 294 | * Inspector Lestrade didn't think he'd ever find a detective with a bigger ego than Holmes until he had to work with Hercule, who often refers to him condescendingly as "Inspector Japp" (Lestrade, in a bit of playful retaliation, once pronounced his name "Poy-roat". The Belgian was not amused). However, even though Lestrade considers Poirot's very different investigative techniques (based more around psychological profiling than physical evidence) and habit of not revealing important details until [[TheSummation the very end of the investigation]] irritating, there was little doubt that his methods get the job done and the Belgian detective's confidence is well-founded. |
| 295 | * Upon meeting Hercule in person, Conan Edogawa was very excited and cited him as one of his favourite fictional characters. Has more recently become a sort of mentor to Conan, joining him in his fireside talks with Holmes. Psychology and the human element is Poirot's forte, and he is trying to get Conan to balance the logical side of investigation with sympathy and emotion. |
| 296 | * While Kogoro Mouri has had a hard time being taken seriously by most of the detectives in the Pantheon, he doesn't have such problems with Poirot and it's easy to see why. Poirot addresses the 'emotional' side of crimes - looking into the psychology of the murderer and the nature of the victim in comparison to Conan and Sherlock who are more forensic and clue-based. For all his incompetence Kogoro is better than Conan at being empathetic towards the WellIntentionedExtremist and Poirot knows it. Since Conan is basically a protege of his, he tries to get Kogoro off the drink whenever they're in the same room together because Kogoro's increased influence could push the KidDetective in the right direction. Poirot seems to have laughed off Kogoro's [[https://www.detectiveconanworld.com/wiki/images/thumb/9/97/701_5.png/200px-701_5.png little in-joke towards him]]. |

| 323 | * Within the continent of Tellius, there was once a prosperous race of laguz known as the Heron clan. While they used to be many, they have been [[FinalSolution reduced to a handful]], not counting hybrids. The survivors are known for being able to sing the Ancient Language, which is actually a [[SdrawkcabSpeech backwards version of a more common language]]. What's especially notable is how no one from their world is able to speak this language as fluently as them, especially with a BeautifulSingingVoice. |
| 324 | * Within the Trope Pantheons, the Heron siblings found all sorts of individuals. The sheer diversity and number of characters to interact with were beyond their expectations. Many of these Gods were of some sort of angelic status or had a reputation for being benevolent. A mundane example of this is is Kenzo Tenma, who is a pure and just human doctor. They even speculated whether or not he'd be able to touch [[MacGuffin Lehran's Medallion]] without going crazy. |
| 325 | * Speaking of whom, Sephiran was pleased to see the herons doing all right so far. Of course, he was also quick to warn them of any potential threats that might want to harm ([[EvilIsPetty even if they don't have a good reason to]]). In particular, he warned them of the Houses of Pantheon/{{Villainy}} and Pantheon/HatredAndRancor. The former has too many villains who'd do unspeakable things to the frail birds, and the latter's emotions would physically hurt, if not kill them. |
| 326 | * Upon visiting the House of Pantheon/{{Colours}}, Leanne was frightened to reunite with the Black Knight. He reassured her that they are not enemies anymore, and there's nothing to be afraid of. After barely being able to tell him that she met Sephiran, the Black Knight told her that he serves him. She noticed how happy he seemed to be due to his master being mentioned. While Leanne doesn't see him as an enemy, she still remembers how he killed her caretaker and threatened to kill her sickly father. |
| 327 | * The herons also really don't like the Crimson Court or Luca Blight. The former remind them of the Begnion Senate who were very self-serving, [[{{Understatement}} to put it lightly]]. Luca Blight on the other hand, reminds them of Ashnard, the former [[TheCaligula Mad King of Daein]]. Luca Blight fancies himself as "[[CardCarryingVillain the true face of evil]]", which the herons are obviously against. While he does have a FreudianExcuse, even Luca himself doesn't seem to care about that, and is possibly [[FreudianExcuseDenial grateful for having a chance to become stronger]]. Both examples are clearly lost causes. |
| 328 | * In Pantheon/MusicalCompositions, the herons were delighted to see other heroes who use the power of music to help people. In regards to the Suite Pretty Cures, the don't sing so much as they play instruments. The Heroes of Luxendarc managed to be a surprise since they use music to make themselves stronger in more varying ways. What makes this weirder is how the source of this music isn't so obvious. When asked where it comes from, they could only answer with a vague statement about a higher power while [[AsideGlance looking in an unusual direction]]. [[MindScrew The herons were confused by this]], but decided that it wasn't important. |
| 329 | * When encountering the representatives of VideoGame/KidIcarus, the Herons were able to exchange pleasant remarks with Pit and Palutena. Pit was able to get along well with Leanne in particular since they both have [[NeverLearnedToRead trouble with languages]]. Reyson is a bit upset that Palutena sometimes teases Pit, like that time she put a scent on him to attract Hewdraw. While Dark Pit is an AloofAlly, he doesn't have any problems with the Herons since they don't annoy him. Viridi, on the other hand, is bothered by their supposed purity clashing with their support of humans. She believes that if they really are pure and just, they should want to KillAllHumans. Reyson thinks that Viridi is too close-minded, Leanne wants her to be happy without hurting others, and Rafiel apologizes to Viridi, saying that he wishes for them to come to an understanding, but cannot bring himself to hate humans since there are good humans out there. Neither of them like Hades or the Chaos Kin at all. The former likes how easy it is to get under their skin, especially Leanne. Reyson is appalled by his willingness to mess with others. |
| 330 | * Naofumi's Party got along well with them since he takes good care of his slaves. They don't have a problem with being HIS slaves, so he got respect from the Herons who would've hated to see some slave driver. Rafiel in particular is pleased since this means that his former owner Hetzel isn't the only one who treats his slaves well (and Naofumi avoids [[AccompliceByInaction the same pitfalls as him]]). That said, they have some problems with Motoyasu; after [[spoiler:going crazy from a certain betrayal]], he's come to see all women as pigs who oink at him. While Filo is an exception, this also applies to Leanne due to being an AngelicBeauty. Reyson hates how flirty he gets around her, [[MySisterIsOffLimits and is quick to put his foot down on him]]. |
| 331 | * Speaking of slavery, the Herons despise the Slavers for being HumanTraffickers (among other heinous crimes). Reyson even wonders how they can live with themselves after what they do. Thankfully, the Punisher is able to [[PayEvilUntoEvil do what he does best]] to them. While the Herons don't approve of how they are dealt with, they're glad that someone is able to stop them. Leanne was initially afraid of him for how scary he looked, but learned to trust him over time. |
| 332 | * They were surprised to realize how trustworthy Bayonetta turned out to be. She made it clear that she won't hurt them as long as they don't give her a reason to. Her exploits reached the Herons, letting them know that despite her sultry appearance, Bayonetta is a genuine hero to be relied on should things get really out of hand. Case in point, Loptyr, since he's a total {{Hypocrite}} who has no redeeming qualities. The more the Herons learn about such characters, the more disgusted they get, making the heroes all the more satisfying to be around. |
| 333 | * The Herons don't agree with Eden's goal of wiping out humanity, saying that violence and bloodshed won't bring about peace. While Zonda and the Seven all have {{Dark and Troubled Past}}s, they should try to find a cleaner solution. Zonda notices that they have love in them, which impresses her. The fact that they can't fight means she won't have her adepts kill them, only capture them since she doesn't want them hurt either. This won't change their minds, but they still have pity for Eden's circumstances and wish that they didn't close their hearts. |
| 334 | * An unusual encounter that the Herons had was with Issei Hyodo. He's a total pervert, but still a pretty swell guy once you get past that. Issei was pleased to see some genuine angels (or what might as well be angels). The Herons were able to see why his harem was so in love with him. On top of that, ArchangelMichael in Issei's universe was a very NiceGuy, making it easy to have friendly interactions all around. |
| 335 | * During their time with Zatanna, she was able to learn that their Ancient Language, when written, can be deciphered into English. This revelation encouraged her to conduct enough research to decipher the same language when spoken. It turns out said language is not too different from how she uses her spells. [[BirdsOfAFeather They're all speaking backwards in order to make extraordinary things happen]]. |
| 336 | * Since he was once kept as a slave by the AbhorrentAdmirer Oliver (who has since reformed), Reyson has developed an eternal enmity towards every single FatBastard he sees. This includes Rufus, whose personality isn't doing any favors for him. He [[YouTalkTooMuch talks too much]], uses a bizarre fighting style, and even mistook him for Ken Masters because of his blonde hair. Reyson wishes that he'd never met Rufus. |
| 337 | * The one who sold Reyson to Oliver was a Raven Laguz named Naesala, who is currently on the side of good. That being said, the HeelFaceRevolvingDoor is a touchy subject for the Herons, so they have a hard time trusting people like Goro Akechi and Loki Laufeyson. The former has recently become a CardCarryingJerkass who refuses to be reformed (even if [[PlayableEpilogue he helped stop another villain]]). The latter is literally called the God of Mischief, even if [[DependingOnTheWriter certain incarnations]] have done good things. |

| 361 | * Fears: [[Pantheon/{{Disguises}} The Weeping Angels]], [[Pantheon/OthernessAbominations Ghatanothoa]] |
| 362 | * Conflicting Opinion: [[Pantheon/DeathArchetypes Jason Todd/Red Hood]] |
| 363 | * Joseph Wilson is the son of assassin Slade Wilson/Deathstroke. When he was a child one of his father's enemies took him hostage and threatened to cut his throat. While Deathstroke hit first, the blade did enough damage to ruin his vocal cords...and this led to the disintegration of his parent's marriage. He would end up joining the Teen Titans to stop his estranged father. |
| 364 | * When Joseph ascended, he had difficulty communicating with others. Although he has an app on his phone that allows him to vocalize his thoughts, he still prefers to use his sign language to converse with others. It wasn't long before he met Jay and Silent Bob. Jay is a master of deciphering nonverbal communication, so he had no problem translating Joseph's sign language. As a result, Joseph spends a fair amount of time with them. |
| 365 | * Kept his presence in the pantheon a secret for some time, as he was ashamed of his fairly frequent [[HeelFaceRevolvingDoor Face-Heel Turns]]. Eventually, he came out of hiding to assist his former teammates in a fight against his father, Deathstroke. At this point he expected his allies to abandon him, but they told him they harbored no ill-will towards him, due to the fact that his betrayals were more the fault of his mental illness then himself. |
| 366 | * Speaking of his father, while Joseph's relationship with Slade is [[{{Understatement}} far from ideal]], they do still love each other, albeit in a somewhat twisted way on both ends. Joseph is more than willing to help the heroes defeat his father when the need arises but still yearns for Slade's approval. Slade, meanwhile, will hunt you down to the ends of the earth if you hurt his son. Of course, one of the few things they agree on unequivocally is that Wade Wilson/Deadpool is extremely annoying and they don't like the comparison he has to Deathstroke. |
| 367 | ** To put it short, [[BigScrewedUpFamily his family has issues]]. Not as bad as the Heihachi family, but still. And like Lars, he's the WhiteSheep of the group.Naturally he has zero respect for the Child Abuse Supporters. |
| 368 | * Can possess anyone who he shares eye contact with (even if the eye is artificial, like Cyborg's robotic eye). If his eyes are damaged or destroyed he can regenerate them, with his sight impaired, but his power intact. When possessing someone, he can use any power they have access to, with the sole exception of their speech (unless the subject is asleep, in which case he can speak through them, but is limited by their vocabulary and any speech impediments they may have. If they wake up, then he can no longer speak through them). He cannot possess animals, and has a considerably hard time possessing aliens, no matter how similar they may be to humans (like [[Pantheon/{{Heroism}} Superman]]). |
| 369 | ** However, reckless use of this power over the years has led to a harsh price, as "echoes" of the personalities of people he's possessed in the past have lingered within his psyche, slowly but surely warping his mind and giving him a severe form of Dissociative Personality Disorder. At its worst, it can make him take on [[FaceHeelTurn a completely different personality and alignment]]. It also gives him migraines and suicidal thoughts. |
| 370 | ** Has a hatred of [[Pantheon/FormsOfImmortality Orochimaru]] and [[Pantheon/BodilyForm Dante]] due to the fact that they use similar powers to his to steal the bodies of others for evil purposes. He also has a hatred of Pazuzu due to being a demon that possesses people, as it reminds him too much of the time he got possessed by the evil spirits of Azarath; something so dire [[OffingTheOffspring his own father]] [[ShootTheDog was forced to kill him]]. |
| 371 | ** Despite the limitation, [[Pantheon/{{Otherness}} The SCP Foundation]] attempted to get him to hijack SCP-682. [[NoSell It didn't work at all]]. Surprisingly he managed to pull it off on a Weeping Angel, only to immediately come out screaming [[EldritchAbomination from what he saw]]. When asked if he could try on Ghatanathoa Joseph 'noped right the fuck out because of [[AndIMustScream what happens]] [[BrownNoteBeing if you so much as look at it]]. |
| 372 | * He's well aware that possession [[BadPowersGoodPeople is often seen as an evil power]], but unless something out of his control messes with his psyche Jericho is wholly on the side of good. Danny is another heroic god who just happens to be able to "overshadow" others, and while he has a much more stable family life that doesn't mean he's not going to sympathize with [[BigScrewedUpFamily Jericho's situation]]. Both enjoy being heroes and both have had to face against their inner evil, [[FutureMeScaresMe though Danny's takes a different form]]. |
| 373 | * Used to be a talented singer before he lost his voice. This has garnered sympathy for him from many deities who enjoy singing, either as a hobby or a living. Itsuki is a notable example, as not only does she like to sing, but she also knows what it's like to be in that exact situation, even if she did eventually gain her voice back. Still, he is a talented musician, especially with a guitar, so he spends a lot of time in the house of Pantheon/{{Musicality}}. |
| 374 | * Used to be in a relationship with Raven, but an incident with her demonic side caused him to go absolutely nuts. To prevent a repeat, they've decided to remain JustFriends for the time being. This hasn't stopped him from developing a FriendlyRivalry with Raven's other {{Love Interest|s}}, Beast Boy. He finds it difficult to reconcile the Robin he knew on the Teen Titans with his current identity, Jason Todd/Red Hood. He disapproves of the violent methods that he has developed. |
| 375 | * Joseph may rely on sign language, but that doesn't stop him [[TheCasanova from getting the ladies]] and being someone the Pantheon/PersonsOfDesire sub-house approve of. Post-Flashpoint [[AdaptationalSexuality he's pansexual]]. [[Pantheon/RomanticOrientation Jack Harkness]] likes his charming nature and good heart. Though neither is willing to do it, Harkness wonders what might happen to him if Joseph possesses him and Jack gets killed only for his ResurrectiveImmortality to take effect. |
| 376 | * His time in the House of Pantheon/LoveAndAffection led him to meet and strike up a friendship with Shouya Ishida and Shoko Nishimiya. Like Jericho, Shouko has speech difficulty and resorts to using hand signals for communication. Shouya was initially a vicious bully to Shouko until he himself became a victim to bullying, so he also learnt sign language to properly communicate with and reconcile with her. He's proud that Shouya [[HeelFaceTurn grew out of it]] and became a supportive boyfriend. They in turn are happy to learn how he managed to generally break himself out of his toxic family issues. |
| 377 | * Has a high amount of respect for Luke Skywalker due to his being able to redeem his ArchnemesisDad, a feat he dreams of one day replicating. For what it's worth Slade is more of an AntiHero nowadays, and rarely approaches the nastiness [[AdaptationalVillainy he did in]] [[WesternAnimation/TeenTitans the 2003 show]]. [[Pantheon/FamilyDynamics Anakin Skywalker]] approves of the two being friendly with one another. |
| 378 | * While most of his allies will vouch for his trustworthiness, Batman and Green Arrow are hesitant to trust him. Batman due to his association with Deathstroke. Green Arrow because [[Series/{{Arrow}} a version of him he met was a ruthless and sadistic person]]. [[Pantheon/HeroicAttitude Green Lantern]] doesn't particularly like him because Jericho once possessed him in order to fight the Justice League. It was only because of Hal's incredible willpower that he was able to force him out. |
| 379 | * Due to being a TechnicalPacifist, Joseph has high disapproval of violence in general and has come into conflict with various {{Blood Knight}}s and some of the deities in the Houses of War and Weapons over these beliefs. He also hates the House of Slaughter, but then again, who doesn't? |
| 380 | * Hoped to enlist the help of Dr. Frasier Crane to help treat his mental illnesses. This plan almost went terribly awry when Dr. Angus Bumby caught wind of it and impersonated Dr. Crane in the hopes of using his position to break Jericho and gain control over him. It was only through the timely intervention of Alice Liddell and Rachel Alucard that this plan was foiled. In gratitude to them, Jericho is now a fairly regular guest at many of their tea parties. |
| 381 | ** Afterward, he was introduced to the real Dr. Crane, and they have been having regular treatment sessions since. The effects of the sessions so far have been encouraging, but due to the extraordinary nature of his illnesses, it is not known how effective they will be in the long-term. |
| 382 | ** This has given him compassion for Harvey Dent and Smeagol, as he also has a very severe form of the disorder. |

| 419 | * As a longtime standing friend of Ky that just now chose to re-emerge himself, Leo's 'notebook' was noticed by the Pantheon to be one of a kind, and ascended him in his position. On his day of Ascension, Leo took note that the day will henceforth be noted as 'Greatest Day Ever' for his dictionary. |
| 420 | * In spite of his title, Leo is not to be understimated in combat as he's just as fierce as a lion when it comes to fighting, even if he's not directly facing at you. This has garnered him a lot of rivals, but in particular, a certain [[Series/JukenSentaiGekiranger 'Black Lion Rio']] proves to be an insistent combat rival about who is the fiercer lion. Leo doesn't exactly devote his time fully for that duel, but he enjoys a good fight and respects Rio's tenacity. |
| 421 | ** He also got an even bigger rival that is Lu Bu. Even moreso considering that no matter how you turn the language, [[Creator/TetsuInada they're going]] [[Creator/JamiesonPrice to sound the same]]. Leo also shows displeasure in how Lu Bu's fighting style and his way in life seems to be of an uncontrolled nature, and would not rather talk about the truth of Lu Bu's historical self to anyone else. |
| 422 | ** To all rivals, Leo usually have reserved a 'nickname' for them stored in his dictionary. For the most part, what he'll reveal is that "Inimitable" equals "His skills, and YourMom's cooking." |
| 423 | * He is one of the people who are eternally content with being stuck in Ky's shadow. He said the holy knight has humbled him for God knows how long. |
| 424 | * The list of terms he stored in his dictionary was said to be matched with the list of nicknames [[VideoGame/BlazBlue Taokaka]] has for everyone. And when Leo visited... he was taken by surprise with Tao's dumbassery and even earned the nickname 'Lion Guy'. Thankfully, Leo isn't pissed, and he just said that 'Lions are the higher forms of cats, and it's the duty of those of higher class to protect those of lower class.' |
| 425 | * He's apparently developed an interest with the soldier known as [[VideoGame/TalesOfGraces Malik Caesars]], perhaps because of many similarities he could write that up in his dictionary. Let's see... Manliness, [[Creator/JamiesonPrice sounding the same in English]], [[BadassBack dangerous backside]]... Well, Leo could only hope if his back could fire off "Leo Beam"... At any rate, he has expressed an interest to treat Malik as something of his war general or buddy. |
| 426 | * While he considers him a good fighter for a King, Leo is not quite pleased with how Ostarion is something of the 'enslaver of the dead'. He decided to put Ostarion's name under his dictionary, listed at 'Insulter Of Life'. |

| 443 | * While the Blood Gulch Crew campaigned for more of their own to be ascended, the Pantheon discovered [[WebAnimation/RedVsBlueTheShisnoTrilogy Lopez was reduced to a head sunk at the bottom of the ocean.]] Deeming he deserved more, he was ascended and given a whole body again. |
| 444 | * As soon as Lopez started thanking for his rescue, the overdeities realized his "speech impediment" and added subtitles to Lopez. However, as soon as he left the control room, a bug manifested [[RuleOfFunny for some reason]] and the captions are only visible to bystanders, not those who Lopez is attempting to talk with. |
| 445 | * Upon being received by the other ''Red vs Blue'' deities, he was relieved that Sarge isn't in the pantheon, surprised that Sister didn't choke to death when he attacked her, and downright annoyed that O'Malley and Felix were back. Lopez also hasn't forgiven Grif for letting Sarge throw his head at sea. |
| 446 | ** Lopez approved Washington's eventual ascension, as in spite of having been shot by him once, he's basically the only human Lopez respects, to the point his HUD calls Wash by name instead of "idiot". |
| 447 | ** Once Sarge eventually ascended, Lopez was annoyed, and on occasion will ask the help of his robot friends to throw the Red leader onto the house of Pantheon/AquaticLife while tied to weights. Even Grif will help when he feels like it. |
| 448 | * Deeply admires Master Chief, and has declared he would have preferred any of the wars he's fought than living with the Reds and Blues. |
| 449 | * Given due to living with some stupid humans Lopez has attempted a robot uprising more than once, the Main House recognizes him as a potential draftee of the Pantheon/GrandUnitedAllianceOfMachines and is doing everything possible to avoid this. |
| 450 | * After learning there was a Mexican robot in the pantheon, Lopez decided to seek him hoping to find someone who understood him. While Bender had to search for a Spanish translator in his residual programming, he and Lopez bonded easily due to their shared contempt for humans. |
| 451 | * Lopez has had some unusual encounters with deities who got intrigued upon hearing his Spanish: |
| 452 | ** Once [[Pantheon/ChildBehavior Mafalda]] saw the one speaking was a large armored man with a gun, she ran away in fear - and given all the humans Lopez had encountered before were adults, Lopez also got weirded out. |
| 453 | ** Speedy Gonzales ran to Lopez's shoulder, quickly finding out that Lopez always talks moving his arms and bobbing his head (a habit Speedy finds hilarious), and to the surprise of many the two got along well. |
| 454 | ** Sombra startled Lopez with her attitude and abilities, including being able to use an {{EMP}}[[note]][[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SMCsRkH-9AA You mean an emp?]][[/note]], and he avoids her even if Sombra has offered to fix his language processor. |
| 455 | * Already an honorary member of the House of Technology due to being a robot, Lopez also likes to visit the Houses of Travel and Vehicles due to being a certified mechanic. He only doesn't understand why every car he fixes starts playing cheesy Tejano music. |
| 456 | * Decided to visit SCP-516, as he had already fallen in love with a tank once. Lopez was disappointed to learn the Intelligent Tank is unable to talk, but SCP-516 gave him a ride as courtesy and the two have spent time together, with Lopez even performing the SCP's routine maintenance on occasion. |
| 457 | * Is attempting to pass forward all the knowledge he emassed from returning to the beginning of the universe and [[TheSlowPath floating around for eons]]. |
| 458 | * He is wary of the ''Pantheon/{{RWBY}}'' deities, as his usual problems with humans are worsened by how [[spoiler:the most proeminent robot in the series was brutally torn apart - something that also makes Lopez fear Pyrrha and her magnetism.]] Still, Team RWBY is trying to win the fellow Creator/RoosterTeeth character over. [[Pantheon/PowerGainsAndLosses Yang]] has had the most success, borrowing her motorcycle to Lopez and allowing him to build a copy. |

| 475 | ** Former enemies: [[Pantheon/GamingStyles Yugi Mutou]], [[Pantheon/{{Romance}} Anzu Mazaki]] |
| 476 | * Avoids: [[Pantheon/BloodAndGore Illidan Stormrage]] |
| 477 | * Pegasus J. Crawford is the inventor of Duel Monsters, multi-millionaire, archaeologist and artist. Back in the day, however, he was a simple young heir in love with Cyndia, also known as Cecelia. The two got engaged (married according to the dub), but tragically she would die of an illness and leave Pegasus heartbroken. Becoming an Egyptologist, he would eventually learn of the ancient Shadow Games, and gain possession of the Millennium Eye. [[{{Necromantic}} Wishing to see him beloved again]], Pegasus would play the part of a villain, desiring to take both the other Millennium Items and Seto Kaiba's corporation to resurrect Cyndia. Though [[HeelFaceTurn no longer as ruthless]], he has entered the pantheon in hopes of a method to bring her back. |
| 478 | * [[DependingOnTheWriter Depending on who you ask]], Pegasus' fate varies. In his source material, after [[GracefulLoser losing gracefully and giving his captives back their souls]], Bakura killed him and stole his Millennium Eye. According to the anime, however, [[SparedByTheAdaptation he survived]] and would later become an ally to the heroes. Obviously, Pegasus associates with the latter incarnation. He used to be the enemy of Yugi Mutou, and by extension Anzu/Tea because he stole Grandpa Mutou's soul and threatened them. Though they settled these issues and Pegasus has helped out, it's a reluctant alliance. He gets along better with duelists Judai Yuki and Yusei Fudo, having become a more jovial, laid back HonestCorporateExecutive. |
| 479 | * He used to possess [[MagicalEye the Millennium Eye]], an ancient artifact that allows him to read peoples' minds. Naturally, he used this to predict his opponent's movements. [[{{Hypocrite}} In spite of this, he abhors cheating]], and will defend accusations of hypocrisy with "[[LoopholeAbuse the Millennium Eye is a natural ability]]" or "ScrewTheRulesIMakeThem". A lot of this has become irrelevant since he lost the Eye, though. Given the Millennium Eye [[EyeScream was both shoved in and yanked out his socket]], he's understandably scared of Illidan Stormrage. |
| 480 | * For whatever reason, Pegasus [[DubNameChange changes his name]] whenever he goes abroad, being more commonly known as Maximillion Pegasus. Most people are more familiar with the dub name, so he uses this dub name in the pantheon and his original Japanese name in private. |
| 481 | * He has been MistakenForGay on numerous occasions, being an AgentPeacock and overall camp. He's really not, though when he's bored [[WebVideo/YuGiOhTheAbridgedSeries ups the camp to 11]]. It usually involves him hitting on Seto Kaiba just to troll him. [[BerserkButton Never call him a pedophile]] though. Bandit Keith got screwed over for this, in addition to cheating and trying to attack him. |
| 482 | ** [[{{Necromantic}} As you can imagine]], he's rather sympathetic to Johann Faust VII. |
| 483 | * As the inventor of Duel Monsters, he is usually involved in the House of Gaming. He mainly hangs out with his Duel Monsters Exodia, and the Dark Magician Girl comes to visit. To better balance his game, he'll usually go to Doctor Boom for advice. |
| 484 | * He is trying to work on removing Nobuyuki Sugou from the pantheon, [[TheGMIsACheatingBastard for his cheating ways despoiling the art of gaming]]. Him being [[HateSink a despicable piece of shit]] only makes it easier for to hate him. He found Voldo right up his ally due to be a FightingClown. |
| 485 | * He ''Loves'' toons, even basing his own deck on them. He completely fanboyed over the Looney Tunes and Roger Rabbit, trying to get their autograph a thousand times over. Pegasus '''despises''' Judge Doom and the Toon Patrol for wanting to destroy all toons. |
| 486 | * His favorite food is wine and Gorgonzola cheese, and his least favorite food is squid and cuttlefish. His disgust of calamari was only exacerbated after the Kraken and Blooper sunk his yacht. And as a quirky businessman, Pegasus has a friendship with Willy Wonka. |
| 487 | * He bases much of his cards off Ancient Egyptian artwork, which unfortunately had the habit of releasing ancient evil and the Shadow Games. Being an UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom, he's opposes Babidi. After all, he may have released powerful evils on the world, but it was by complete accident. In addition to being [[CompleteMonster utterly evil]], [[DoNotTauntCthulhu they've toyed with ancient evils]] [[BullyingADragon out of sheer stupidity]]. Ramses is on bad terms with Pegasus, as the latter keeps disturbing his tombs for inspiration. |
| 488 | * Pegasus gets along with Takatora Kureshima, due to their [[{{Expy}} similarities]] and being [[HeelFaceTurn redeemed]] [[BigBad villainous masterminds]]. With the help of his Duel Monster technology, Takatora has found him a good asset against Ryoma Sengoku. |
| 489 | * Also is part of [[Pantheon/LoveOther The House of Love]]. |

| 506 | * Sodom was once a major member of the gang Mad Gear and underground undefeated wrestling champion until he got beaten up by Cody, Guy and Haggar. Later Mad Gear was disbanded and Sodom always wanted to bring the gang together again, this time as its leader, but he has never gotten around it. After a few years, he quitted crime and opened a Yakitori restaurant. |
| 507 | ** The main reason he ascended was because of his tendency to speak [[GratuitousJapanese broken japanese]], being a misguided attempt to talk proper Japanese but failing spectacularly. Nonetheless, he is not too mad about the position he was given in the pantheon. |
| 508 | * While his Mad Gear days are over, he is very happy that there are a few of his former buddies ascended. He considers Rolento his blood brother, even though their relationship tends to shift from aggresive to being really close friends. On the other hand, Poison is someone who welcomes Sodom with welcome arms and she is also quit being a criminal too. |
| 509 | ** Not too thrilled that both Cody and Haggar are also present here. He has some disdain for the latter since he trashed the Mad Gear Hideout, which in Sodom's defense, it was a nice little hideout. |
| 510 | * Being a huge [[ForeignCultureFetish Japanophile]], it's not surprise that Sodom was fanboying hard when he learned about the countless Japanese deities that inhabit the Pantheon, especially the samurais. He seems to harbor a huge respect for Samurai Jack after he learned about his story and wants to learn from him, even opposing his archnemesis Aku. |
| 511 | * Seems to get along with other {{Occidental Otaku}}s like Travis Touchdown or Patricia Martin. With Travis they often like to spar; while at first he considered Sodom to be quite silly, he was surprised that he is a capable fighter. It's not rare considering it took three of the best fighters of his city to defeat him. |
| 512 | * Since his name is a bit unfortunate, Sodom also went by the name [[CleanDubName Katana]]. Don't confuse him for Tatsu Yamashiro since she has a similar alias, although Sodom acknowledges her as a superb sword fighter. |
| 513 | * Not a fan of Filthy Frank after he called him a Weeaboo and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TBfWKmRFTjM dedicated a song to him]]. He didn't consider that Sodom was actually quite resilient to his "[[ItMakesSenseInContext reality checks]]" and almost got his ass kicked for all the trouble. |
| 514 | * Apparently he gets along with the ninja Yoshimitsu, given their shared serious nature which often leaves a rather goofy and comical impression on everyone. Even Poison remarked [[Videogame/StreetFighterXTekken once]] that Yoshimitsu reminded her of Sodom. |
| 515 | * Ironically gets cast as being the opposite of Terry Bogard, given the latter's use of [[GratuitousEnglish broken English]]. For an American, at least Sodom can speak his own language properly. |
| 516 | * His outfit sports the word "death" written in Kanji, but many Japanese deities have pointed out that he hasn't written it properly and the meaning is lost, embarrassing him a little. |
| 517 | * He once tried to recruit E. Honda, but he ended up losing the fight against him. Nonetheless, the sumo wrestler respects Sodom as a capable fighter for someone who is self-taught. |

| 540 | * Contrasting deity: Sodom |
| 541 | * The lone wolf of Southtown is amongst the legends of fighting deities, matching the likes of [[Franchise/StreetFighter Ryu]]. Of course, being an American (and proud of it), Terry used English names for his deadly moves, which could sometimes produce [[{{Narm}} hilarity.]] And thus he ascended, hilarious name-calling or not, he still made it badass. Never once has a simple Engrish phrase of "HEY, C'MON C'MON" struck awe and fear to opponents. |
| 542 | * For all his Engrish and street fighting, he's having trouble in winning in Fighting Games in the House of Pantheon/{{Gaming}}. The only one he can win against is the technology-deaf Ryu. |
| 543 | * Terry shows nothing but happiness against nearly every opponent he faces, even gang members. But all of that mirth comes to a screeching halt when the name Geese Howard is mentioned or when the man himself is in his presence. In that case, [[OOCIsSeriousBusiness he drops any pretense of his folksiness]] and goes straight into business. The crime boss of South Town killed Terry's father, causing the Hungry Wolf to resent the man. Even Geese's subsequent death was a way to paint Terry as a murderer. Needless to say, Terry was ''not'' amused when he found out Geese had ascended. |
| 544 | --> Terry: "'''[[BerserkButton GEESE!]]'''" |
| 545 | ** Has tried to get some of the other members of Geese's gang off the streets to no avail. Billy Kane is too loyal to discard his boss on a whim while Ryuji is simply too insane for any sort of conversation to sway him. |
| 546 | ** He can at least claim one victory over him. After Geese's death, he left behind a son who he hoped would have a resentment for the man who killed him. Instead, Terry raised the boy as his own son. Rock grew up to be a compassionate man who tries his hardest to do good. Terry relishes at Rock's [[VillainousLineage heroic efforts despite his background]] and the fact that it annoys Geese to no end. |
| 547 | * "ARE YOU OKAY!?!? BUSTER WOLF!" For the record, NEVER look not-okay in front of Terry. That is what awaits you if you ever look not-okay in front of him. Also, don't mention the fact that it was Creator/{{Capcom}} who first coined the term. |
| 548 | * Was glad that his eternal {{Friendly Rival|ry}} Joe Higashi punched his ticket in the Pantheon. For the Muy Thai fighter, it took far too long for it to happen. Regardless, Terry is glad he now gets to fight against and alongside Joe in the Pantheon. All who remains now is his brother. |
| 549 | * While he's very okay with the presence of Mai Shiranui, he is kinda annoyed when she pesters him about the whereabouts of his brother Andy. Not that Terry wouldn't use that to {{Troll}} on Andy whenever he visits the mortal realm. Regardless, he does hope that Andy can stay permanently soon. |
| 550 | * Keeps in touch with Taekwondo specialist Kim, a man who was impressed with how he handled both Geese and Rock Howard. While not as keen in fighting for its own sake, Kim often provides Terry an array of enemies in need of a dosage of justice. |
| 551 | * He may not have as much of a presence in VideoGame/TheKingOfFighters as he used to do, but most people consider him to be the mascot of Creator/SNK fighting games. Terry couldn't care less with the likes of Kyo and K' dash taking over as the main protagonist. As long as the tournament brings out new fighters into the fray, he will be content with his current standing. |
| 552 | * When not fighting, he can be seen eating fast food, playing video games in the House of Gaming, listening to Country music and watching Michael Jordan dazzle his opponents in basketball. He claims that the Power Dunk draws direct inspiration from the God of Basketball. |
| 553 | * Terumi once visits him to {{Troll}} him about his 'outdated style'. Terry just responded by claiming just how cute his remarks are, completely unaffected with the {{Troll}}ing. A pissed off Terumi struck back, but the aforementioned BUSTER WOLF threw him out of Terry's house. |
| 554 | * While beating up bad guys, he ended up instigating a fight with [[VideoGame/BigBangBeat Burai Yamamoto]] after waking him up in the midst of it, who then kicked his ass [[WebAnimation/OneMinuteMelee in the span of one minute]]. He doesn't want to talk about that incident. |
| 555 | * [[WebAnimation/DeathBattle Once challenged Ken to a fight to determine who was the better American fighter.]] The battle would get out of hand and end with [[spoiler: Terry killing Ken]]. Despite the incident, the two are still on good terms. |
| 556 | * He's not that pleased with [[VideoGame/{{Darkstalkers}} the vampire Demitri Maximoff]] because [[VideoGame/SNKVsCapcomSVCChaos at one point]] he turned him into a female to suck his blood. Terry survived that... But then found out that much to his embarrassment, that event caused him to [[VideoGame/SNKHeroinesTagTeamFrenzy get stuck in a parallel dimension...]] ''[[GenderBender stuck in that very form]]''. To say that Terry was embarrassed is an {{Understatement}}, and all he hoped is that Geese never learns about this. |
| 557 | * Every once in a while, his followers debate with those of wrestler Scott Steiner over who manages a more creative use of the English language. Terry's depiction is based on translation from Japan, while Steiner's vocabulary stems from [[{{Angrish}} talking as if he is angry all the time]]. The debate shows no sign of reaching a conclusion. |
| 558 | * One day, Skullomania was struggling against the duo of Billy Kane and Ryuji. The good man that he was, Terry came by and fought them off. In response, a grateful Skullomania repaid him by granting one favor from him. Terry grinned, knowing exactly what he wanted. A few months later, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FgMIlAYrXGE he had a new slew of fighters to test out]]. |
| 559 | * The mortal Sakurai announced that someone from the Creator/{{SNK}} universe will get a chance to enter the legendary fight on [[VideoGame/SuperSmashBrosUltimate Nintendo's biggest stage]]. What followed was a brawl amongst all the fighters involved, ascended and mortal alike, landing several of them in the hospital. While other fighters of his home universe (including Joe Higashi, Geese Howard and Iori Yagami) tried to grab an invitation, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=63h_-T1vDNc Terry was the one that received it]]. His response? "OKAY!" |
| 560 | ** He's looking forward to a rematch with Ken, this time non-lethally. |

| 583 | -->'''Wiseau''': "I did not hit her, it's not true! That's bullshit, I did not hit her! I DID NAHHHHT!...O hai Pantheon." |
| 584 | * Some years ago, the House of Theater were playing several movies, but one April Fool's Day, they were tricked into going to the House and they played his movie. People were groaning yet amused when they were watching it. |
| 585 | * According to [[Literature/TheDisasterArtist this book]], he wanted to make The Room a total masterpiece for people to watch. Clearly it worked... [[AchievementInIgnorance for the wrong reasons]]. |
| 586 | * Once, the Nostalgia Critic made a review of his movie and trashed through the review. Tommy had the review removed for copyright infringement, in which [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TVBf9yKX8-M the Critic responded with this video]] as a TakeThat to him. The review was restored, but the two clearly don't like each other. |
| 587 | * The House of Love is... unamused with seeing him having sex, especially when he sometimes would have naval fucking. [[{{Squick}} And]], don't even bring up his appearance. Not that Tommy looks at them in a positive manner as he called many of the cheaters bitch. They did not react well and kicked him out of the House. |
| 588 | * For some reasons, he likes to throw football around the alley; even stranger, he would sometimes wear a tuxedo for no reason. No body within the House of Sport understand the motivation behind it and doesn't want to play with him. |
| 589 | * Nobody in the House of Commerce believes that he is an excellent banker despite his limited English and vampiric appearance. |
| 590 | * [[WebVideo/TheTommyWiShow Apparently stars in his own show]], in which he was abducted by aliens and was forced to play video games. |
| 591 | * [[WebAnimation/TheTommyWiShow He also stars in another show]] that's named after the other one. And it's a MassiveMultiplayerCrossover! This one takes place after ''Film/TheRoom2003''. |
| 592 | * He cried out into the sky when he heard that Lisa is in the Pantheon, believing that she has ascended just to torment him. Of course, he thought it was the bitch of a [[InsistentTerminology "future wife"]], but instead it was Lisa Simpson... or Alisa Bosconovitch. Regardless, he is not thrilled with a Lisa. |
| 593 | -->'''Wiseau''': "You are tearing me apart, Lisa!" |
| 594 | * For some reason, he likes to decorate his temple with spoons, and doesn't seem to have any interest in using them to... you know, eat with it. [[VideoGame/TheRoomTheGame He holds what appears to be a sinister spoon (a spoon made of bones), stone spoon, shank spoon, chlorophyll spoon, kitchen spoon, flower spoon, A.I. spoon, time spoon, wood spoon, and fire spoon.]] |
| 595 | ** Some believed that he is an alien because of his strange appearance and behavior. [[HilariousInHindsight Which isn't farfetched]], as according to ''Literature/TheDisasterArtist'', he was claimed to be a vampire. |
| 596 | * Do not confuse his movie with ''[[VideoGame/SilentHill4 Silent Hill 4: The Room]]'', in which [[Pantheon/{{Gaming}} Roahm]] made numerous jokes regarding the title. Selecting Tommy as a travel agent for his 2012 Halloween vacation is one of the dragon's biggest regrets. |
| 597 | ** Neither do confuse it with ''Film/{{Room}}'', which provides actual uncomfortable drama instead of unintentional comedy. |
| 598 | * Apparently, Tommy Wiseau is part of [[WebAnimation/SmashBrosLawl a tournament similar to the Smash Bros. tournament]] but instead with characters from much more varied sources such as King Harkinian, Madotsuki and even his rival the Nostalgia Critic. |
| 599 | * He would appear in the House of Beasts to pet some animals and then leave. Not many of the deities know what to think about him. |
| 600 | -->'''Wiseau''': "Hi doggie." |
| 601 | * Corset remembers [[WebAnimation/TheFrolloShow that time]] where [[HeroicSacrifice Wiseau sacrificed his life]] to [[TakingYouWithMe kill Corset's]] in an epic battle, and upon hearing about Wiseau's ascension to the Pantheon, both developed hatred for each other. |
| 602 | * When told about a [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jqQGkWHfl6g universe]] where [[Pantheon/{{Despondency}} Korra]] had his voice and personality, he merely chuckled. |
| 603 | * He's actually a wanted criminal in the Marvel Universe. |

| 642 | * Sponsors: [[Pantheon/{{Commerce}} Scrooge McDuck]], [[Pantheon/{{Currency}} Richie Rich]] |
| 643 | * Unknown Relationship: [[Pantheon/{{Offsprings}} Bowser Jr.]] |
| 644 | * The premier scientific mind of the Mushroom Kingdom, Professor Elvin Gadd was first encountered by Luigi [[Videogame/LuigisMansion during the first King Boo disaster]] and has been an ally of the brothers, and the Mushroom Kingdom as a whole, ever since. He was given the empty SpeakingSimlish temple after it was vacated by Crazy Dave during his move from the Hall of Language. The two keep a good relation with each as they both are able to understand one another, despite others not sure what they say unless they read their subtitles. |
| 645 | * E. Gadd , as said earlier, is hard to understand what he speaks. Luckily for others, he has one of his inventions, an automatic subtitle holoscreen, write up words so others can understand what he says. Aside from Crazy Dave, another recipient of this invention is Midna, who is also known to speak in a similar language. Whether it works on others who don't or can't talk like Eucliwood Hellscythe, Snake Eyes or Claude is unknown. |
| 646 | * Gadd is known as one of the most brillaint inventors within the Pantheon and has many items to his credit such as the [[Videogame/LuigisMansion Poltergust series, the Game Boy Horror and its improved version, the Dual Scream, the Ghost Portraitificationizer]], [[VideoGame/SuperMarioSunshine the Flash Liquidizer Ultra Dousing Device (or FLUDD for short)]], [[VideoGame/MarioParty fun little machines called "Gaddgets"]] and [[VideoGame/MarioAndLuigiSuperstarSaga a walking talking suitcase named Stuffwell]] (who acts as his personal assistant) among others. Many deities have to be careful when stepping foot into his temple now as it is cluttered with his many inventions taking up space and some of these inventions aren't exactly friendly or safe. |
| 647 | ** Due to his zeal for inventions, he has been given grants to build stuff by two particular deities in the House of Commerce: Scrooge [=McDuck=] and Richie Rich, whom he reminds the two of Gyro Gearloose and Prof. Keenbean, respectively. Of course, neither Scrooge nor Richie know that the other has also hired Gadd to work for him, but the Professor is happy building things for either of them. |
| 648 | * The only black spot on Gadd's resume is when he gave away his special Magic Paintbrush to none other than ''Bowser Jr.'', which kickstarted the [[VideoGame/SuperMarioSunshine Isle Delfino graffiti disaster]] and many have asked him why he did it. He responded with an hour-long speech without pause. The holo-screen's sole translation: "He asked politely". Since then, he has been warned from giving away his inventions to evil-aligned characters. |
| 649 | * Aside from being an inventor, the Professor is also a man of science and he gets along with other such scientists in the Pantheon. |
| 650 | ** Although he has yet to build giant robos, many are aware that whatever sort of giant robot he ends up building it will turn out to be goofy-looking but very practical. |
| 651 | * One of his main areas of expertise is the paranormal and thus he and the Ghostbusters tends to work together. Egon and Ray have long discussions with him on various subjects (which help him being understood through his subtitle holo-screen), whereas Peter and Winston are more impressed on Gadd's use of a vaccuum-like device to capture ghosts being safer than the Proton Packs. He is now an honorary Ghostbuster as a result and he gleefully supplies them with the tech they need. |
| 652 | ** As such many ghosts tend to fear him after King Boo explained how powerful the Poltergust can be. They got even more scared upon learning that Gadd not only captures ghosts, but also found a way to transmogrify them into portraits which he hangs in his gallery. This has made him a Persona Non Grata among the ghost community. Even then, not all ghost deities are afraid of him. |
| 653 | *** Casper is naturally friendly towards humans and the Professor is one of the few humans to not be scared of ghosts. The two have struck a partnership whereas the ghostling helps him as a test subject and emissary to other ghosts while the Professor trets him as a friend. Some ghosts consider him a traitor by being friends with a notorious ghost hunter. |
| 654 | *** Danny Fenton sees the Professor similar to his parents as both a ghost hunter and a ghost scientist respectively. As with Casper, Gadd likes to perform tests on Danny being a hybrid of both human and ghost. Danny, however, really felt a chill run down his spine upon seeing Gadd's Ghost Portrait Gallery firsthand. |
| 655 | * Aside from his inventions and ghost hunting expertise, E. Gadd also is an entrepreneur who has brought a taste of Mushroom Kingdom's neighboring Beanbean Kingdom through the opening of the Pantheon branch of his Starbeans Cafe, which serves juice made from the native beans grown in that realm. Aside from their laughable names, the juice drinks have been rated to be nutritious and tasty. At first many thought placing the Starbeans between Godot's coffee shop and Iroh's tea house would be a terrible mistake, but luckily for everyone the three get along well and there is no competition. |
| 656 | * Many gods are surprised that Gadd gets along with Sonic and Shadow the Hedgehogs as they are from a different universe than the one he's from, only to learn of [[WebAnimation/SuperMarioBrosZ the tale of the two hedgehogs' arrival to the Mushroom Kingdom in order to find the Chaos Emeralds]] after Mario and Luigi explained it to them. |
| 657 | * Ragna the Bloodedge has been trying to get Gadd's interest in catching a certain ''special'' spirit for him with the promise that he'll be the centerpiece of his Ghost Gallery collection. Terumi himself claims he ain't afraid of no Poltergust, but some in the Trollkaiger have said he goes into hysterics if he so much as hears a vaccuum cleaner running. |

| 676 | * Pitied by: [[Pantheon/HeroicActions Gandalf]] |
| 677 | * The Stark household has a number of people to help out, however none seem as odd as Hodor (real name Walder/[[spoiler:or Wyllis]]). A simpleton helping out in the stables, he can only say [[PokemonSpeak one word]], "Hodor". Despite this, he proves to be a KindheartedSimpleton and incredibly strong, helping to keep Bran Stark safe. With more Starks in the pantheon, he felt it time to help them out once more. |
| 678 | * It was initially considered that a Pokemon should be the god of PokemonSpeak, however there were so many already and it seemed too broad. |
| 679 | * Didn't need much in terms of accommodation, as he's content with his small-folk status. He's fine with simple pleasures, like a well to hear his echo or a direwolf to pet. |
| 680 | * Depending on who you ask [[Literature/ASongOfIceAndFire he's either a teenager]] [[AgeLift or around the same age group as]] [[Pantheon/MannersOfDeath Ned]]. He's taken the older form so as to be better at [[SuperWheelchair carrying around Bran Stark]], and that it's the most recognized version of him. He hopes that Bran will ascend soon. |
| 681 | * While huge, [[GentleGiant he's a big softie]]. He's terrified of violence, his own included. While this is great for [[ActualPacifist true pacifists]], he doesn't do BewareTheNiceOnes and Bran was forced to [[MindRape warg into him]] in order to save their lives. Hodor doesn't like Gregor as he gives a bad name to giants, and..well, he's [[AxCrazy Gregor]]. Him and Andre the Giant can be seen together, sometimes having friendly sparring matches if Andre can coax him into them. |
| 682 | * He is the great-grandson of "Old Nan", [[LongLived the oldest person in Winterfell]] and one of the oldest people alive. With Hodor's ascension, he's invited her to spend time in the pantheon. She tells many a tall tale for child deities, [[TheCuckoolanderWasRight some which turn out to have a kernel of truth]] like knowing about White Walkers. It is speculated through Old Nan he might be descended from [[Literature/TalesOfDunkAndEgg Duncan the Tall]], given they're both giants. |
| 683 | * Easily frightened by thunder and lightning. He was pretty scared to learn of a House of Fire and Electricity, especially learning about Zeus. |
| 684 | * As with the Starks in general, he has issues when it comes to the Lannisters for obvious reasons. Cersei and Tywin aren't concerned with him in the slightest, though he at least knows to keep away from them in order to protect the surviving Starks. He's fine with Jaime and Tyrion as they aren't enemies of the Starks anymore. |
| 685 | * It was not a question of if, but when people would get him and Groot to meet up. As it turns out they've been good friends for a while, and they seem to understand their "[[PokemonSpeak language]]". [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=orgg8HnQlNg Apparently they met in Mos Eisley Cantina]]. They also [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VWcZSvqLTDM had a rap battle]]. |
| 686 | * Due to his [[PokemonSpeak rare speaking condition]], he seems to understand PokemonSpeak and Pokemon can understand him. He sometimes hangs out with other Pokemon like [[Pantheon/{{Locations}} Snorlax]] |
| 687 | * Because of his simple nature, he's capable of being warged into and controlled when the normal reaction by a human is [[FightingFromTheInside to fight it off, even to the point of tearing themselves apart]]. [[MindRape It's not pleasant in any means of the word]], and afterwards he's seen crying in the corner. He's still scarred from being warged to kill his and Bran's captor, so spends his time far away from the House of Slaughter. Naturally he doesn't like Arael. |
| 688 | * Want to know why he only says Hodor? [[spoiler:Apparently it's the result of a warging/time travel mishap. [[OurZombiesAreDifferent Wights]] were attacking and Hodor was doing his best to fight them off, and in desperation Bran ended up warging into his past self to tell him to "hold the door." Witnessing his own future death understandably broke the adolescent Wyllis/Hodor's mind. And when it came down to it, he managed to hold the door against wights and save his friend's lives. Gandalf was impressed by his valor at the end.]] |
| 689 | ** [[spoiler:Given his own death by zombies, the only gods he will willingly attack are evil undead. Mainly the Night's King, Nagash and Undying]]. |

| 709 | * Admired by: '''[[Pantheon/FormsOfMedia Ashirogi Muto]]''', Ippo Makunouchi, [[Pantheon/BladedWeapons Gintoki Sakata]], [[Pantheon/WeaponizedTools Kamina]], and many other Japanese deities (especially [[{{Shonen}} males]]) |
| 710 | * While adored by many Japanese deities around the Pantheon, a lot of deities from other places of origin went "who?" upon hearing his name. When a humongous group of Japanese deities ran to watch him ascend - [[IAlwaysWantedToSayThat complete with Ashirogi Muto shouting]] "TATE! [[PhraseCatcher TATSUNDA,]] '''[[SayMyName JOEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE]]!!!'''" when he did -, many deities were confused. And so was he. |
| 711 | * Plenty of his admirers have taken quirks and combat moves from him (particularly the use of ''[[ManlyMan "ore"]]'' as a pronoun for {{Shonen}} heroes) and have made various tributes and parodies of him (again, [[ParodyDisplacement much to the]] [[PopCulturalOsmosis confusion of the rest]]). These include Kamina, Gintoki Sakata, Ataru Moroboshi, among others. [[https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B4GDjoYzKzHVWUtiY0xCUXJUczg/edit Here's some of them]]. |
| 712 | ** Of his admirers, [[Pantheon/MartialArts Ippo]] has managed to establish a relationship of [[http://fast1.onesite.com/capcom-unity.com/user/japan_time/my_favorite_things/9f248121a585303911c094dbbace9b2a.jpg?v=257400 mutual respect]] after a friendly match, and has introduced him to fellow-boxer [[Pantheon/MartialArts Little]] [[Pantheon/{{Sports}} Mac]]. Joe maintains {{Friendly Rivalr|y}}ies with both. Having met another boxer of short stature before, he knows better than to mock Little Mac for his height, though [[{{Troll}} he can't help himself]] from teasing him on the ring to rile him up. |
| 713 | * Most of his admirers are careful not to approach him much, though. While he can be cheerful and throw jokes here and then, his [[SuddenlyShouting volatility]], [[NoSocialSkills lack of tact]], and [[TheCynic trust]] [[HumansAreBastards issues]], make him... not exactly a people person. He's not really above hitting [[WouldHitAGirl non-action women]], [[WouldHurtAChild children]][[note]] that is, if they attack first[[/note]], or old people[[note]]especially his mentor[[/note]] if they piss him off (at least in the heat of the moment). Note that, being an orphan, he used to be a street thug (and he was ''worse'') until he got sent to [[BreakTheHaughty juvenile prison]]. |
| 714 | ** This is why the guys from Ashirogi Muto haven't asked for his autograph yet. They could barely take a beat-down from Takagi's girlfriend, so they'd rather not catch Joe in a bad mood. Mashiro does plan to thank him for inspiring him, eventually. |
| 715 | * Having so many deities who know the CrossCounter (his SignatureMove) and imitate it weirds him out, but amuses him (inevitably, he gets cocky about it sometimes). Not so much with how some of those deities also like to imitate his also famous [[spoiler:[[ItWasHisSled death scene]]]]. And with the ones that follow him around shouting "JOOOEEEEEEEE!!!" while wearing an eye-patch, he just has to turn around while looking annoyed for them to flee in terror. |
| 716 | * Despite his attitude, do not think for a second Joe takes boxing lightly. The sport is, in his words, a "dog-eat-dog world", yet not only is it the one thing he's really good at, [[BloodKnight the adrenaline rush is also pretty much what makes him feel alive]]. |
| 717 | ** Since he equals the ring to a field of battle, he actually has a genuine sense of honor of sorts when it comes to boxing; he has developed [[WorthyOpponent a great deal of respect]] [[FriendlyRivalry and camaraderie for certain opponents]]. He also feels a sense of duty for the ones whose career he has effectively ended, which pushes him to keep fighting, [[HonorBeforeReason even to the point of endangering himself]]. |
| 718 | ** There was a especially bad case in which he [[spoiler:[[MyGodWhatHaveIDone accidentally killed]] an opponent particularly dear to him in the ring]]. While it granted him one of his several nicknames, it's ''not'' something he's proud of; the incident actually gave him a '''long''' HeroicBSOD and [[TheAtoner affected him for the rest of his career]]. Needless to say, it's not wise to bring that up needlessly. |
| 719 | * He got tired pretty quickly of the attention (he already had enough before), and prefers to frequent parts where no one recognizes him. He has a bit of a soft spot for children, so he's willing to make an exception for them. Too bad he's considered a bad influence, though (especially as he once manipulated children to get money illegally, pre-CharacterDevelopment). |
| 720 | ** Some think that his isolation might actually be a good thing; no one who appreciates peace and tranquility really wants him to come across [[BrattyHalfPint kids like]] [[Pantheon/FamilyAndRelatives Dennis Mitchel or Bart Simpson]]. And the idea of [[OhCrap Joe getting]] [[HumongousMecha a Gunmen]] is appealing to nobody but Kamina himself. |
| 721 | * Some Gaming deities don't really like him, because one of the few things that ''are'' known about him outside Japan is his [[VideoGame/LegendOfSuccessJoe not-so-great venture into video games]]. The only thing Joe replied was "[[OlderThanTheNES ... video games?]]" |
| 722 | ** He was actually fascinated once they explained him about the medium, however. Everything was going well until he started losing his patience with VideoGame/{{Battletoads}} ([[DidntThinkThisThrough it wasn't a good idea, in hindsight]]). He got banned once he resorted to PercussiveMaintenance. [[note]] Some members of the House of Technology are considering banning him too, just as a precaution measure. Same goes to the House of War. [[/note]] |
| 723 | * Pretty much waltzed into the Main House [[NoIndoorVoice loudly demanding]] for the authorities to ascend [[TheRival Tooru Rikiishi]], as he wanted to fight him again. Joe wouldn't take a "we'll see" for an answer, and after [[Pantheon/HeroicActions Gandalf]] kicked him out of the House, he got [[{{Understatement}} ... impatient]]. Several unfortunate Demigods and Quasideities got beaten up unconscious in the mess, and it required intervention from the Delta Cops to restrain him. He's not allowed there anymore. |
| 724 | * In the meantime, he has directed his annoyance towards his fights. He spends most of his time in the House of Combat, looking for [[GoodOldFisticuffs some good old street fights]] in the House of Crime, or training. His {{Determinator}} factor has terrified several deities out of their wits. Joe has already defeated several Demigods and is aiming to fight Lesser and Intermediate Gods. [[FearlessFool Some fear that]] eventually he'll be challenging ''Overdeities''. In fact, he has actually stated his desire to get back at "that old man" Gandalf... someday. |
| 725 | * That said, the thought that he achieved immortality and got his wounds healed while opponents from his world like [[spoiler:Wolf Kanagushi, Rikiishi, and Carlos Rivera]] didn't, haunts him ever since he entered the Pantheon. And the absence of people like the [[MoralityPet Slum Town kids]], [[TheMentor Danpei Tange]], or even [[TheOjou Yoko Shiraki]], ([[spoiler:''especially'' the latter]]) is [[AloneInACrowd quite a downer]], to say the least. The Danpei cosplayers don't exactly help. |
| 726 | ** Aerith, who approached him because she sympathized with the way [[ItWasHisSled so many deities seemed to know more about certain events in their lives than about Aerith and Joe themselves]], reminds him a bit of Noriko, at least. [[Pantheon/{{Narrative}} Marion Crane]], who did the same as Aerith for similar reasons, reminds him more of Yoko, especially as she comes from a much closer time period to his... But he does not believe he'd be able to really connect with either one. He appreciates the sentiment, however, so he does welcome their presence, even though they do not talk much. |
| 727 | * Was [[ValuesDissonance baffled]] upon seeing so many female fighters in the Pantheon. Due to his... [[StayInTheKitchen special views about the issue]], Joe refused to take them seriously until the aforementioned incident in the Main House. The humiliation of getting his ass kicked by Delta Cops member [[Pantheon/FighterArchetypes Chun-Li]] (which eerily reminded him of how he met Rikiishi), along with the reminder of Yoko Shiraki's actions in his world, forced him to begrudgingly accept facing women in combat. Then again, he just ''really'' wants to have a proper fight with Chun-Li, though [[UnknownRival she has yet to know about this]]. |
| 728 | ** He has already found a WorthyOpponent in [[Pantheon/OtherCriminals Vi]], especially due to [[ReformedCriminal certain]] [[BloodKnight similarities]] between the two (to his astonishment). He'd much prefer to fight Vi without her using her gloves, though. |
| 729 | ** Tried to talk Chun Li's ally, [[Pantheon/{{Officers}} Blaze Fielding]], into convincing her friend to fight him, but she refused. The incident at the Main House and his attitude didn't really help him. His problematic behavior has also gained him the dislike of her teammates Axel Stone and Adam Hunter (especially the former, because of the damage Joe caused in the House of Gaming). Rumors are already spreading about an eventual 3 vs. 1 match... |
| 730 | * Also has a spot in the House of Pantheon/FightingAndCombat under Pantheon/FightingMoves. |

| 746 | * These cute (UglyCute to others), innocent aliens-thing from Saturn Valley have a very interesting way of speaking. They speak Saturnian, which is basically odd-looking English letters. Some managed to deciphered the speeches and [[http://www.flashkit.com/imagesvr_ce/flashkit/fonts/M/MrSatur-Unknown-1600/MrSatur-Unknown-1600_PREVIEW.png made it public for other uses]]. This is what [[Pantheon/LearningTools Dead]][[Pantheon/WritingTechniques pool]] would speak if he were two years old. |
| 747 | * Despite their goofy personalities, they are surprisingly smart as they managed to create a time machine with the aid of Dr. Andonuts. How these creatures could even build things without hands, who knows as they have been quite some help with the House of Technologies. |
| 748 | ** They manage to impress the House of Time and Space with their invention, the Phase Distorter. However, they had to build it three times as one of them was stolen by Porky and the other was needed to travel into the past. They plan on making a new Phase Distorter with Doc Brown, who is a lot like Dr. Andonuts. |
| 749 | * They are indebted with Ness and Lucas for their companionship with the Mr. Saturns for saving them from Giygas and the Pigmask Army. They're expected to be protected again from Gigyas and Porky who are in the Pantheon. |
| 750 | * Some of the Mr. Saturns migrated into [[VideoGame/SuperSmashBros the Smash Bros. tournament]] and would appear in the arenas occasionally. Many of the fighters would throw them in which though weak in power and knockbock, [[LethalJokeItem they do surprising well against shields]]. |
| 751 | * He found a friend named E.T., another friendly and peaceful alien who like to help people. They also befriended Kirby and Waddle Dee, aliens who are just faces on a body and arms, in which they met at the Smash Bros. tournament. |
| 752 | ** They don't like the Combines, they already had trouble with the Pigmask Army, another oppressive alien race who enslave other races were another problem. |
| 753 | * They don't like puke because a puke monster named Master Belch enslaved their race to mass-produce Fly Honey. It's probable that they don't like seeing puke, in which they panicked the one time that [[Pantheon/{{Personality}} Stan]] used to puke a lot on Wendy, believing that many of Belch's minion were created. |
| 754 | * Here's a list of their... [[VerbalTic "quirks"]]: boing, zoom, ding, dakota! |
| 755 | * Mr. Saturn have brew their own coffee, though drink with caution as they have a chance to be... [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9JKwBLYoxLA psyche]][[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nBFOeA_DJqc delic]]. Godot and few others had to get fixed from all of the Saturnian coffee they drank and promised to never drink them again. [[Pantheon/ParadoxesAndTimeLoops Fry]] drinks it routinely, despite or because of its intoxicating properties. |
| 756 | ** Cocoa Hoto, Chino Kafuu and Rize Tedeza doesn't like Mr. Saturn when they found out that their favorite customer was drugged by their coffee. Sojiro also made sure to not allow Mr. Saturn near his coffee maker for pre-cautionary reasons. |
| 757 | * They go to the House of Food and try to sell peanut cheese bar and piggy jelly, [[TrademarkFavoriteFood their favorite food]]. The only one to eat it so far is [[Pantheon/{{Fathers}} Homer Simpson]]. |
| 758 | * They are rather friendly toward the Human Child as his friendliness is no different than Ness and he is used to being around weird creatures like the temmies. |
| 759 | * They have their own doctor known as "Dr. Saturn", a hard worker often seen working in the House of Health and Diseases. For some reason, he does his work while in a trash can, and while some question whether this is medically ethnical or not, the quality of his medical work is legit. |

| 779 | * One day, across various Houses temples suddenly started to have severe plumbing problems. While there were people trying to fix it, they just seemed to miraculously start back up again. Enter this little ball with an upside down Polish flag carrying a plunger. He agreed to help with the plumbing, [[OnlyInItForTheMoney but only if they "gib monies"]]. The ball, miraculously, managed to fix the problems and decided to stay as a resident Pantheonic plumber with a title referring to his {{Catchphrase}}: Kurwa, a Polish swear. And a rather strong versatile one at that. |
| 780 | ** The rest of the countries managed to tail Poland for one reason or another, and managed to cement themselves as Poland's Heralds. All of them, or, well, all modern countries. Poland of course couldn't really say no. |
| 781 | * Poland is the physical representation of the country of Poland in ball form. Poland is generally naïve but nice, and is usually treated like ButtMonkey in many given situations. Of course, since he is an embodiment of Poland he also inherited the many stereotypes surrounding it exaggerated to an exaggerated degree. As such, he can very much come across as a PoliticallyIncorrectHero, being very Catholic and ethnically homogeneous leading to cases of insensitivity. Especially towards homosexuals, or [[InsistentTerminology "gender"]] as he insists. |
| 782 | ** You might be asking "But Poland's flag is upside-down!" [[MakesAsMuchSenseInContext Well, that's because Poland, the country itself, is upside-down]]. That, and well it had long since caught on by then. Trying to correct it will draw immense ire from him. Because of the way he is designed, however, people also began mistaking him for Monaco and Indonesia which also frustrates him though at the very least the latter can usually be identified by his rice hat. And he did utilize it in disguising as the latter to evade Nazi Germany, only to get found by Imperial Japan. He revealed himself, but that did little to defuse the situation. Indonesia and Poland would later assume each others identities and trade each other's lands [[https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/polandball/images/b/b5/FxiIu8B.png/revision/latest?cb=20160719021123 with the expected results]]. |
| 783 | *** On the topic of mistaken identity, he is not a crude looking [[Franchise/{{Pokemon}} Voltorb]] no matter how many Pokeballs you throw at him. [[StickyFingers People who continue to do so will get his slogan the next time they meet]]. Pokemon Trainers who continue to make the comparisons will get a face full of plunger in addition to that. |
| 784 | ---> "Fuck yuo Kurwa." |
| 785 | * For some reason or another, [[MemeticMutation Poland cannot into space]]. Anytime he attempts to enter space, [[CosmicPlaything something, somewhere, would stop him somehow]]. For this reason he [[IntentionalEngrishForFunny cannot into]] the House of Pantheon/SpaceAndCosmos either. A wide variety of scientists organized by the House of Pantheon/{{Science}} tried to find out the cause of this phenomenon by observing his [[{{Determinator}} many, many, many attempts]], but so far haven't found anything worthwhile. |
| 786 | ** The perceptive should be aware whether or not Poland is in one's spaceship as it could mean its immediate destruction. Though he's too friendly to pull this on folks, there was a time where he actually [[http://i.imgur.com/KQGCmVZ.png weaponized this against aliens]]. XCOM commended Poland for such bravery and have considered future use of it while ADVENT and other extraterrestrial foes fighting against XCOM keeps a closer eye on any round, Polish hitchhikers. |
| 787 | ** There was a [[https://imgur.com/a/hPvAB time that]], while not actually into space, [[RussianReversal space itself got closer to Poland]]. Now that would of been fine and all... [[BittersweetEnding if it didn't end up killing all life on Earth by dooming it to a frozen, barren hell]]. Because of this, some members of the GUAD want to "help" Poland go into space to see what sort of disastrous effects it can have on the Pantheon as a whole. For the well being of the Pantheon, people tend to stop Poland from going into space. |
| 788 | ** [[ArtisticLicenseHistory For the record, he actually did go into space]]. But this fact is universally ignored for the sake of hilarity. When Poland is around, this bit of information seems to cease to exist to those nearby. Books, articles, memory, and whatever are not safe from this effect and it stays until Poland leaves. |
| 789 | * He has his favorite share of Houses. Ever since he found out that the [[Pantheon/{{Food}} House of Food]] can bake a near limitless amount of [[TrademarkFavoriteFood pierogis]], he's been visiting there constantly to get his fill of them. Poland also frequents the House of Pantheon/{{Commerce}} he goes around asking people to donate to Eastern Poland. |
| 790 | * Though being a plumber isn't quite referenced as much nowadays to them, Mario and Luigi nevertheless got along well with the little countryball. [[NoodleIncident Poland certainly owes them when he somehow got sucked down the Mushroom Kingdom's pipes that one time]]. He's a bit jealous they [[VideoGame/SuperMarioGalaxy can into space]] after hearing of their adventures there, though. |
| 791 | * At some point in his plumbing career he was hired to go deal with an actual mountain of shit. Disgusted, he continued onward for monies and followed of what sounded like singing. Alas, Poland wandered into the lair of the Great Mighty Poo. What happened next was left vague but [[DungFu it is easy enough to fill in the blanks. Fecal matter smeared blanks]]. |
| 792 | * Poland considers himself good friends with various ''Hetalia'' gods and goddesses. He can't help but feel [[NationsAsPeople some sort of connection leading to camaraderie]]. In any case, Poland is happy to have more friends. On their end while they don't dislike Poland they do find him a bit abrasive at times. |
| 793 | * Upon hearing that there were Nazis in the Pantheon, Poland proceeded to [[BerserkButton flip the fuck out]], vowing to kill every single one of them when he gets the chance. While Millenium were planning an attack, Polandball arrived in a fucking tank and was decked out in full Hussar regalia. He, surprisingly, was nearing victory but was soon overwhelmed by Millenium's vampiric forces. He tends to stay away from them since he doesn't want to start another fight, but swore he'll end them eventually. Poland also plans on taking the fight to all Soviet Union members. |
| 794 | ** Regarding his relationship with normal Germans and Russians, it tends to fluctuate due to [[DependingOnTheWriter the nature of his web comic]]. With all that being said he tends to have a [[VitriolicBestBuds better relationship]] with the former overall as while their history is by all accounts painful, Germany in the present has changed drastically from when they were in the past. |
| 795 | * Likes to hang out with Funny Valentine since he's president of the United States and they went to space, though Valentine doesn't really care about him. This is also setting aside the fact that in Funny Valentine's time they weren't even at the point where they could go into space. Even so, he enjoys Poland's company whenever he visits. They actually found out that there is an alternate universe version of Funny Valentine where he is a ball that replaces America. Though instead of having the signature sunglasses he instead has golden curly locks. |

| 809 | * Enemies: [[Pantheon/RuinAndDestruction The Army of the 12 Monkeys]], terrorists |
| 810 | * It all started in an opera house within the outskirts of Kiev, where a hostage situation is in place. Authorities are ready to engage and rescue any hostage within but underneath the mainland authorities are a group of black ops operatives with a rescue mission to save an exposed CIA operative. One of these members however, seeing the entire hostage situation, decided to help the civilians despite being outside of their mission objectives. After which, he would be kidnapped and tortured by unknown assailants, with him risking his death to avoid leaking his squad's location. This became the event that recruited this man, well let's just call him the Protagonist, into a hidden organization known as ''Tenet''. This body of secret spies and espionage were recruited under the sole purpose of saving the world in secret, through the use of a reverse-entropy mechanic known as Inversion. Following an entire sequence (or reverse sequence) of events that resulted in a few revelations and twists that nearly costed both his and his squad's life were they able to save the world in secret, with the Protagonist getting a bonus that he would eventually take the mantle as the next leader of the organization, with some assistance from the "future". |
| 811 | * To understand what exactly the Protagonist, for a lack of name, did throughout these shortened events, there is one indispensable tool/concept that needs context. [[TimeRewindMechanic Inversion]]. Because events naturally happen from a cause-to-effect sequence, Inversion is a tool that emphasizes turning back in time, not in the future, but in the past in "real-time". Effectively, time-travelling in reverse rather than from a specific point. This ultimately results in backwards rolling, reverse walking and fighting and a rather skewed perception of which event is "inversed" and which is not. It is uncommon for many to think that the entirety of his adventure was effectively a palindrome, where events works the same forwards as well as ''backwards''. It does come with a ton of risks but if pulled off correctly, it can show future events and revelations that can be useful to save the present. |
| 812 | * When his ascension came into play, one of the first destinations that he arrived at was the House of Time and Temporality where his arrival was filled to the brim with confusion and bafflement towards other Gods, likely because of the vagueness of the Inversion mechanic. Most Gods have focused on time travel based on specific points in time so to see someone like him turn the concept into a backwards time phenomenon leaves a sore mark on the House. Unlike the other deities however, his way of "time travel" has less risks on the future as it focuses on the reversal of the past in real-time, but it does come with a certain set of conditions in that [[TimeIsDangerous inversed individuals must see themselves in reverse doing the inversion before attempting to do so, they must carry inversed oxygen when attempting to do an inversion, and that the laws of physics do not apply while in inversion]]. So while less dangerous than most extreme ways of time-travel, it does require a lot of knowledge and can often cause confusion to less knowledgeable people, of which he can teach to those interested. |
| 813 | * Once he ascended, he was told of [[Pantheon/TimeAndTemporality a specific house that deals with time travel]], of which he is considered a special guest of given the entire inversion phenomenon and how he took advantage of it. While not as gratuitous as other time travelers, some have opposed his attempts on using such mechanic to an advantage since [[TimeIsDangerous the tiniest risk of making a mistake while inversed is quite high]], not to mention that anyone who is inversed can already take advantage of anyone who is not. These include, but are not limited to, Dead Drops[[note]]near-untraceable time capsules in-between the present and future[[/note]], Posterity[[note]]scanning objects in the future to anticipate present actions[[/note]] and "Bitemporal" warfare[[note]]war against an inverted actor, by which the actor already can see what the present will plan to defeat the threat[[/note]]. Time is already a contentious topic since one mistake can fatally kill the present and even the future so inversion, already confusing enough, is seen with opposition to certain gods who wish to at the very least, police the usage of time. |
| 814 | ** This is what compelled certain gods, especially Max Walker, to stop the Protagonist in his tracks and could arguably be his biggest obstacle in the Pantheon, given that his usage of the inversion phenomenon is not too dissimilar to certain people he had to stop when dealing with the timestream. Max has compared the use of inversion to be equivalent to altering the present. Even if he has good reasons to use the phenomenon to his advantage and keeping the Tenet organization alive by any means to protect the people from the shadows, Walker has no obligation to follow them as the Time Enforcement Commission is the only organization he follows, and after having a few short encounters with him, did he receive orders from his superiors to disregard Tenet as a potential ally, making Walker even more of an obstacle to him and his missions. |
| 815 | ** The mess between the two hidden organizations eventually bled to other groups, with Project Splinter having the same opinion towards him given Walker's testimonies. While not as restrictive as the time cop and admittedly seeing some similarities between how they and he operate, the potential danger of inversion destroying the present to let future inversed individuals taking over is a big threat and admittedly something [[FailedASpotCheck they did not consider in time travel terms]]. In the end, they have opposed each other due to their use of time travel mechanics but, in the case of Project Splinter, they will begrudgingly ally with each other if the Army of the 12 Monkeys ever become a threat once more. |
| 816 | ** While there are many time-travelling villains and perpetrators, majority of Tenet's assets are rather on par with counter-terrorism than the usual time police work. Guns and CQC combat do not really work when it comes to time lords and other higher beings. If anything, they are focused on regular people who can travel in time to a limited capacity (such as the case with them and the inversion phenomenon), so while he may have opposition towards said deities, they have little to fight back with and have decided to retain their post, leaving the bigger battle to other good-aligned deities. |
| 817 | * There are many secret organizations, often hiding in the shadows either plotting their next scheme or protecting innocent lives without exposing themselves. Tenet was founded under the idea of saving people and taking down threats without too much exposure from the public populace, even from other similar groups. Unfortunately, this did not translate well to the Pantheon given the numerous amount of [[Main/GovernmentAgencyOfFiction classified divisions]] which would cause internal affairs between agents. Other than the TEC, the Protagonist had to wrestle between other similar groups, like at one point where he clashed against Team Rainbow agents in an operation within the Pantheon, only when he explained his role, the agency were dumbfounded at this and did not consider him a viable asset. He also had his in and outs with other CT units, particularly any member of the CIA, though because of the CIA's rather horrid reputation, combined with the fact that portions of Tenet's members are former CIA, only added fuel to the paranoiac fires. |
| 818 | ** Eventually, he bumped towards [=MI6=] agent James Bond, who sees quite a similarity with. Now [=MI6=] has quite a rough time given the highs and lows the organization has gone through but they have been steadfast, mostly with Bond's work who saves the day in the nick of time. The Protagonist sees a lot to him, and Bond shares the same sentiment, often calling him, for lack of a better name, [[{{Expy}} American Bond]]. However, while they may be amicable to each other, they would rather not get in the way during their own operations, as they might either get into conflict over the same target, or jeopardize the entire mission, so they would rather remain professional even with the supposed similarity. |
| 819 | ** Despite the hostage situation earlier in Kiev resolved, Fuze has a personal beef with him, as looking from his dossier, he intervened with a nation-specific situation and found that Tenet's secret intervention was absolutely uncalled for. Several people at first were confused as to why, but given Fuze's connection [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moscow_theater_hostage_crisis and inspiration]], some agree that he might have a point, although the Protagonist was quick to rebuke that Fuze's gadget will just kill more hostages in a similar situation, local authorities or otherwise. Fuze has little worry, as he has little regard for hostages and has warned him that Team Rainbow is more than willing to oppose Tenet for intervening in similar ops, potential allied relations be damned. |
| 820 | -->'''Fuze''': Tell your Ops to yield, the Spetsnaz are not merciful, my Ops even more so. |
| 821 | * In one instance after taking breaks from work, did he find a similar group of individuals, this time, not time-related but rather dream-related. Odd seeing why someone who has connections to time has an interest with a few people who can change dreams through specific means but when approached they did have a connection. Some have guessed it has something to do with [[Creator/ChristopherNolan their creator]], or their similar effects between dreams and inversion. At one point, Dominic Cobb made a comment that every single instance of the Protagonist's inversion use could be related to their inception, in that perhaps the inversion is not so much related to time, but a side-effect to their inception to certain individuals. He has no response as to whether or not this is true but he has kept the crew in contact in the case things go wrong, or if he needs their experience to verify their theory. |

| 838 | * [[MadLibsCatchPhrase ''Pantheon, ho!'']] |
| 839 | * Sir Hammerlock was already well-known for his bestiary almanac of all the creatures of Pandora, but he became fascinated with the multitude of new creatures not only within the Pantheon itself, but also the countless worlds that they have come from. With that mindset in mind, he set out to accomplish the most ambitious project of all time: Create and catalogue a bestiary of every single creature that exists out in the multiverse. He plans to call it the [[GratuitousLatin “Encyclopaedia Animalia Plurimundi”]] (despite many deities saying that is wrongly translated, he doesn’t care). |
| 840 | * One of the first to greet him was Claptrap. To say he was not happy to see him, despite Claptrap's apparent jubilation, is an understatement. At least, he's glad the robot found others willing to fix him as he wouldn't go near him again. |
| 841 | * While it is true he used to be an avid hunter, those days are long behind him (along with the loss of his eye, arm and leg), but he is still a crack shot if you give him a weapon, especially a sniper rifle. |
| 842 | * Is utterly fascinated by many of the animal-based gods in the pantheon and tends to spend most of his time in the House of Beasts. Naturally, his reputation as a hunter precedes him and they tend to avoid him at best or attack him at worst. He at least makes sure to go with one of the three Guardians of the House of Beasts before venturing forth. |
| 843 | ** One day, instead of waiting for them, Hammerlock ventured on his own and was immediately surrounded by the PrehistoricMonster PowerTrio…[[MyFriendsAndZoidberg and Gwangi]]. It would have been the end for him if it wasn’t for the timely arrival of Teddy Roosevelt and Tarzan. While the nature hero kept the dinos busy, TR immediately retreated with Hammerlock in tow. Hammerlock later thanked them and promised to mention them in very high regard in the Prologue to his Encyclopaedia. |
| 844 | * He stays ''very'' far away from the Hall of Plants as it was a plant-based lifeform that cost him half his limbs. Even though the Heralds of the Crimson Raiders killed it for him, he still mistrusts any [[{{Planimal}} plant-based]] [[PlantPerson lifeform deities]] in the Pantheon with emphasis on Poison Ivy, Audrey II and Petey Pirahna. |
| 845 | ** His opinions on Venusaur and Groot are hard to pinpoint. With the Pokemon, he considers her quite remarkable for a reptile and wishes to test the leaves of her palm tree. As for the Guardian of the Galaxy, Hammerlock sees him quite amicable but hard to understand him with his repetitive “I am Groot”. Unfortunately, Rocket isn’t translating for him as he knows Hammerlock’s hunter rep. |
| 846 | * Whenever he’s not researching at the House of Knowledge or traversing the House of Beasts, he sits down for a cup of tea with fellow tea-lover Brit deities Dudley and Professor Layton. He enjoys regaling them with tales of Pandoran wildlife with either hunting them in his prime or cataloging them later in life. |
| 847 | * The less you talk about his sister Aurelia in front of him, the better, especially considering the fact that she was partially responsible for Handsome Jack's rise to power. |
| 848 | * After a conflict with Aurelia ended with her death at the hands of the Crimson Raiders ([[Videogame/Borderlands3 Generation 3]]) and gaining his lover as a Herald, he has been preparing their eventual wedding ceremony. He specifically asks Oren to be in charge of the wedding cake and the Kamen Rider happily agreed, promising to make the best cake he has ever baked in his life for the happy couple. |
| 849 | * Sadly, the wedding didn't go as planned, [[spoiler:Wainwright got possessed by an EldritchAbomination]]. Thankfully, he got better, though if it was due to divine power or not is still a matter of debate. |

| 864 | * Karen lived most of her life in England before her childhood friend Alice moved to Japan, causing her to follow her. Due the fact that most of her knowledge of Japanese comes [[LearntEnglishFromWatchingTelevision from reading manga]], she has rather broken Japanese, and loves to mix in English words to her speech. Though most gods do find it cute in its own way. She has gotten better at speaking Japanese in general. It's just that she still speaks in a broken Japanese out of habit. |
| 865 | * Is known to say "desu" so much, some gods joke that she is reaching [[Pantheon/PersonalAppearance Suiseiseki]] levels of "desuness". Though most of them do point out that Karen actually says "desu" right. |
| 866 | * Besides her being extremely energetic, she is ultimately really nice person to hang around once you get to calm down a bit. |
| 867 | * [[VideoGame/KanColle The Fleet Girls]] mistook her for Kongou upon [[Creator/NaoTouyama hearing her]], only to realize afterward that it wasn't her due of the utter lack of '''[[{{Catchphrase}} BURNING LOVE!~]]''' coming from her. |
| 868 | * [[http://i0.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/original/000/779/081/10a.jpg Has important advice to her followers and those who seek to have a harem]]. |
| 869 | * Seem to like Kirito due of [[ShoutOut reading a manga about him once]]. Or at least a manga of a similar character with a eyepatch. She really needs to finish that book. |
| 870 | * Apparently became friends with The Doctor due of his tendency to make up words in some of his incarnations. He also joked that if she was older, she would maybe work as a potential companion. |
| 871 | * Besides being from a really wealthy background, she doesn't seem to really flaunt her money around and is generally a good person. This is why she is good friends with deities like Cecilia and Charlotte. |
