| 24 | * Doctor Arthur Light was once a scientist working at S.T.A.R Labs alongside one Jacob Finlay. Finlay developed light-manipulating technology in secret with the objective of using it to fulfill his dream and become a superhero, but Light was involved in industrial espionage against S.T.A.R. for a rival tech firm. Discoveirng his criminal activities, as a result storing his equipment in the terminal for the computer console in his lab, Finlay caused the console to short-circuit and project a beam of laser-light that disintegrated him on the spot. Tormented by visions of Finlay's vindictive ghost, Light was driven to scour the lab for Finlay's costume, using it to drench himself in everlasting light and chase away the shadows where lurked his greatest fears. He would prove a persistent supervillain for the Justice League of America and the Teen Titans. Initially effective and getting some wins then and there, [[VillainDecay his threat as a villain would decrease]] to the point non-powered kid heroes could defeat him. [[PowerfulButIncompetent For someone with his powers, it's an embarrassing display]] |
| 25 | ** For a while, Dr Light was seen as an IneffectualSympatheticVillain. A Japanese woman, Kimiyo Hoshi, would prove a far more effective superhero with the mantle of Dr Light than Arthur proved as a supervillain. His character would change forever come ''ComicBook/IdentityCrisis2004''; it was revealed his incompetence was the result of a StupidityInducingAttack by Zatanna. What was the motive for such a controversial act? Turns out Dr Light was a sexual predator who had broken into the JLA Watchtower and raped Sue Dibny. His mind would be restored and what seemed like an almost comical villain would take a turn for the nasty. In his true state of mind Dr Light proved a vicious SerialRapist. It was a mercy for everyone else when after [[ComicBook/FinalCrisis his collaboration in the murder of the Martian Manhunter]] he was turned into a candle by the Spectre. [[ComicBook/BlackestNight His remains were reanimated as a Black Lantern]] and his zombie went after the heroic Dr Light, who would put him down for good. |
| 26 | ** While many DC characters are somewhat of a CompositeCharacter of their different iterations, the pantheon's Arthur Light is almost entirely his Post-Crisis self as that is the canon is trope is most applicable to. That, and his New 52 self was a complete 180 in personality, being a hero and a family man. He is fearful of Dis, or rather Hell itself; before being killed for good, he had died and gone to Hell but managed to come back to life...twice (first time he returned in his grave and swiftly suffocated). |
| 27 | * Arthur Light derives his powers from his suit. Much like Earthworm Jim, his powers come from what he wears...though he has used it long enough that some of the suit's powers have become his natural abilities. Despite his actions he's still a genius when in the right mind ([[EvilIsPetty if a petty one]]) and he has plans to steal Jim's suit and merge it with his own suit's technologies for a buff. Dr Light's photokinesis allows him to ironically create darkness by repelling photons, and wrest control and manipulation of anything that emits light. This includes [[Franchise/GreenLantern construct energy]] and [[Franchise/{{Superman}} heat vision]], and he can steal light from other [[LightEmUp users of the same kind of power as him]]. There's a reason he used to be credible threat. The Hall of Pantheon/LightAndBrightness is contemplating banning him, less so for his crimes (after all, they have [[LightIsNotGood the Light of Destruction]] on their payroll) and more so he might have a shot at taking control there. |
| 28 | * Dr Light is not popular in the supervillain community. Before the retcon [[VillainDecay he was seen as a joke]]. Afterwards he is still seen as somewhat of a joke, but one who boasts [[RapeIsASpecialKindOfEvil about a crime]] [[EvenEvilHasStandards most regard as tasteless]], and the fact he can control the visible (sometimes invisible too) spectrum of light (hence his Intermediate and not Lesser God ranking) [[PowerfulButIncompetent means he's seen as a waste of resources]]. To his credit, one of his only good qualities after his mind was restored is that he's a model teammate. He was perfectly willing to follow orders and not incite conflict within the Secret Society of Supervillains when led by Deathstroke and Luthor. With the former, they have a connection in being Teen Titans rogues. That's not to say they like him, of course, and Cheetah antagonized Dr Light because of her own standards. |
| 29 | * If he's seen in dim light by the supervillain community, you better believe the superhero community despises him. Dr Light feels fortunate that Ralph and Sue Dibny haven't ascended, and he's horrified and outraged at Zatanna's presence. The Martian Manhunter also has a major ax to grind with him because of his involvement in his murder under Libra's orders. Shortly after his mind was restored he ended up in conflict with Green Arrow, having been involved in one of his rogues' schemes and killed a bunch of school kids while he was there. And it goes without saying, but victims of rape want his head. Arthur Light reminds Jean-Pierre Polnareff of J.Geil, and when you combine that with Geil also having a light-based superpower you have human Swiss cheese in the form of the absolutely no-good doctor. |
| 30 | * Not even the [[EvilHero nastier "heroes"]] in [[Pantheon/{{Derivatives}} the Seven]] like him, though given how at least two members are rapists depending on the canon [[PragmaticVillainy this is more a PR move]]. Some have mused that the Deep [[AdaptationalVillainy in the TV show]] is ALighterShadeOfBlack to Dr Light, as they are both considered jokes in their community but are [[SerialRapist serial rapists]]...however the Lord of Luminescence [[CompleteMonster possesses absolutely nothing positive to his name]] [[CardCarryingVillain and makes no apologies for the matter]]. The Deep, who's more of "celebrity POS", does still genuinely care about sea life and actually manages to be pathetic in a kind of pitiful way [[KarmicButtMonkey even if he deserves a lot of what happens to him]]. Of course, it might just be why he wants to use Dr Light to feel less bad about himself by comparison. This is probably why Glenn Quagmire also complains about Dr Light, weakly citing "[[EvenEvilHasStandards I'm still not a killer]] [[PayEvilUntoEvil except for Jeff]]; [[PrecisionFStrike fucker got what he deserved]]". |
| 31 | * Thomas Light was ''[[BewareTheNiceOnes really pissed]]'' at the fact someone so depraved was also called Dr Light. He can only imagine how angry Kimiyo will be if she ever ascends, and learns that he got to the Trope Pantheon first. Indeed, few were hoping Arthur Light would find a niche; he is considered as pathetically disgusting as Nobuyuki Sugou. The comparisons between the two were even easier to make when the two struck up a VillainousFriendship, since they both like to use their powers to indulge in their perverse and cruel desires. Arthur Light isn't winning any friends from those who use the power of light in a positive manner either. Starlight, having been a victim of SexualExtortion, was livid learning about him. Ezalor, while a DirtyOldMan, [[EveryoneHasStandards doesn't go beyond flirting and hitting on women]]. |
| 32 | * Arthur Light was looking for asylum due to how many people wanted his head on a pike, and unfortunately he found it in the Fraternity. He was quite intrigued by the setting of a VillainWorld where the villains teamed up to get rid of the heroes. There, someone like him could be a veritable KarmaHoudini so long as he doesn't act in a StupidEvil manner. However even more appealing to him is that the Fraternity ''do not'' ascribe to EvenEvilHasStandards. Their leader has assaulted women and they are ''all'' scum who only ascribe to [[PragmaticVillain pragmatism]]. So long as he follows their rules he can do what he wants and he loves it. This is yet another reason why the Spectre thinks he was being too easy when he turned him into a candle. |
| 33 | * Needless to say, when his mind was restored to him Arthur Light was ''livid'' at the MindRape he experienced. The Phantom Thieves of Heart and Iroque think it was somewhat of a mistake at what Zatanna did to him...not because he shouldn't have been brainwashed, but that his actual fate should've been an example of HeelFaceBrainwashing. And they intend to steal his heart, as Ann rightly sees him as "Kamoshida with superpowers". Doctor Light refuses to step foot in the Hall of Mind Control due to bad memories. He also has chosen to stay clear of Necrozma due to being living kryptonite. Necrozma is a being that eats light, Dr Light's power set involves light, so the Photon Felon would be utterly crushed under the legendary. |
| 34 | * Many consider his MindRape a piece of his own medicine given his crimes, and while what Zatanna did is controversial in the superhero community absolutely nobody pities Dr Light for what he went through. Of course that doesn't mean he doesn't have trauma about it, and when he learned there was a light-themed deity of MindRape in the Trope Pantheon he almost had a panic attack. Even more so he is dreading the potential the Brainspawn would ever take notice of him; their primary means of offense is the ability to massively drop the IQ of their target, to the point they would make the Zatanna-induced dumb Dr Light look like a Mensa member by comparison. |
| 35 | * Doesn't try to hide his "proclivities", [[CardCarryingVillain and is quite boastful of it]]. To quote Plastic Man "[[{{Flanderization}} it's like it's his power now]]". One might think Molag Bal would be a little bit fond of him, but he considers him a disappointment who fails to elevate himself by being depraved. Dr Light admires Griffith as a light-themed rapist who has ascended to functional godhood, though that admiration is one-sided as the Hawk sees him as insignificant, and a lot more similar to Wyald. [[InsultBackfire Arthur doesn't see what the problem with this comparison is]]; he and Wyald enjoy working together to indulge in carnal and sadistic crimes, though in a RedOniBlueOni kind of way. Dr Light is the brains of their little operation and Wyald the brawn. |
| 36 | * Some consider him DC's equivalent to the Purple Man. They both possess impressive superpowers, but [[EvilIsPetty are exceptionally petty and cruel as supervillains]]...Zebediah more so. And of course they are notorious for the crime of rape. Dr Light has sought to prove himself to the Purple Man by defeating Daredevil, along with other superheroes. Sadly there are plenty of deities in the Trope Pantheon on the same perverted wavelength as Dr Light, such as the Yellow Bastard, Wild Hunt or Patrick Bateman. He's commented that he's quite enjoyed the "parties" of [[DepravedBisexual the Libertines]], though he'll admit some of their kinks aren't his kind of fun. |
| 37 | * Disgustingly, he intends to capture Empowered out of lust....yeah, there's a reason why [[TheScrappy he's as hated by the fans]] as he's with most DC comics characters. [[Pantheon/{{Hats}} Linkara]] is quick to point out how making him a rapist was a bad example of a CerebusRetcon..and unnecessary. In his review of ''ComicBook/IdentityCrisis2004'' he even pointed out that the Photon Felon actually had a decent number of credible villain moments. [[EvilIsPetty Dr Light just responded by annoying him]] [[OldShame by saying he's a "Lighbringer" like himself too]]. Linkara didn't take the bait and [[SelfDeprecation just said there's a reason he let the comic be public domain]]. |

| 59 | * Pitied by: [[Pantheon/GamingGenresNToZ Sora]], [[Pantheon/MagicAndSorcery Usagi Tsukino/Sailor Moon, Madoka Kaname]], [[Pantheon/CharacterWriting Gwen Tennyson]] |
| 60 | * The magical girl took refuge into the Pantheon after hearing about her "nemesis" Gwen along with her cousin and Kevin being some of the deities. |
| 61 | * Charmcaster's talents range from many years of experience and her origins. Her magical bag contains rock creatures which she can use in several kinds of ways. She used to own a book of spells that is now in Gwen's possession. Even without her bag, she is capable of using many kinds of mana spells that allow her to control elements, change her appearance, telekinesis, and other kinds of magic. |
| 62 | ** [[CharacterizationMarchesOn She also has changed her appearance and personality over the years]]. While her outfit remains mainly a purple and black outfit she always has [[AmbiguouslyBrown dark skin]], although even that has brightened with each subsequent new form. In her older age, she gained pointy elf-like ears which Medea loves to look at. Sometimes, she looks a teenager, [[OlderThanTheyLook but she's actually 21 years old]]. Originally she was a 15-year-old student of Hex who was ego-driven, doing everything that she did just to prove that she ''could'' do them. As she turned into an adult she grew in her age and experience with magic. [[FemmeFatale Charmcaster used her looks and growing talents to her advantage]]. While still being a major problem to Ben and Gwen, Charmcaster went through tragedy and suffering during certain events. [[spoiler:While she's not so antagonistic to the Tennysons anymore, she still manages to cause them trouble as she tries to manage her powers and homeland, mainly because she is easily susceptible to bad influences, although Gwen and Hex are now trying to counterbalance that with good influence.]] |
| 63 | ** Her backstory and motivations are constantly in question, as they shift along with her appearance and personality. What is generally agreed upon is that she was born in Ledgerdomain, her father was killed by Addwaitya, and she was raised by her uncle Hex on Earth. Even certain events surrounding her are unclear; as it seemed like she once [[JumpingOffTheSlipperySlope dove into the abyss]] and committed mass-murder in a failed attempt to [[{{Necromantic}} resurrect her father]], but following a reset of the universe by Ben Tennyson, this event [[CanonDiscontinuity appears to not have happened after all]]. |
| 64 | ** [[WesternAnimation/Ben102016 She once again has a change in her character and personality developing a more teen goth appearance in this different continuity]]. Many deities wonder if she will stick to having one design this time around or not. |
| 65 | * "[[BadassBoast She Is CHARMCASTER, DAUGHTER OF SPELLBINDER, CONQUEROR OF ADDWAITYA, AND RULER OF LEDGERDOMAIN!]]" |
| 66 | * Ben and Gwen were shocked to see her now part of the Pantheon. Both of them along with Kevin were unsure [[HeelFaceRevolvingDoor if they should be worried or relieved about this news]]. |
| 67 | * Maleficent seemed confused when Charmcaster came to visit her temple. [[spoiler:Turned out she wanted to find someone who could transform into a dragon much as she could.]] |
| 68 | * Despite her constant swings in behavior, she does not fully support the idea of the complete extermination of a species. She might be fond of black magic, [[EvenEvilHasStandards but she does not agree with the actions of Zeref, his cultists, or his demons]]. |
| 69 | * Charmcaster has a major rival in the Diclonii Lucy. [[SplitPersonality One part of the mage appreciates her talents and abilities while the other side fears her powers and the kind of race she was born from]]. [[spoiler:Like Lucy, Charmcaster has another side that's in her head (actually two sides for Lucy), and the nicer half actually likes Nyu.]] |
| 70 | * Medea has been giving the girl some advice on how to handle some of the males in the pantheon. Charmcaster took some of her words to heart mainly with an old face: Darkstar. |
| 71 | * Robin was quite impressed by the many kinds of talents Charmcaster was capable of using. [[{{Yandere}} Naturally, Tharja made herself known to the other dark mage]]. |
| 72 | ** Other kinds of mages had different thoughts on the ruler of Ledgerdomain. Zatanna and Wanda want the girl to overcome her issues and learn to be a good person. Bernkastel and Medusa, however, want the girl to return to her old ways fully using the talents of dark magic. |

| 92 | * Due to the Venom Symbiote's potential danger, and the fact that he was an outstanding soldier, Martin Walker put Flash into The AOF the minute of his ascension. |
| 93 | * Flash proved his worth by singlehandedly saving Walker and Captain America from Wilhelm Strasse, who is now obsessed with obtaining the Venom Symbiote. |
| 94 | * Flash has made it very clear that he refuses to ally with any members of his former Thunderbolts team, and as far as he is concerned, they are villains that need to be stopped. (even if the other Marvel heroes have better opinions on [[Pantheon/{{Metafiction}} Deadpool]] and [[Pantheon/{{Costumes}} Punisher]]) |
| 95 | * Flash and Peter Parker met with each other in order to explain that Otto Octavius, not Peter, was the one that betrayed Flash. |
| 96 | * Flash admires Superman, as he reminds him a lot of Peter. Unlike most, he prefers to talk to him as Clark Kent and not as Superman. |
| 97 | * Once Eddie Brock ascended, as he's the true mate of the Symbiote, an arrangement had to be made with Flash: whenever one's being Venom, the other wears the Anti-Venom Symbiote. |
| 98 | * When overhearing fellow deities outside the Marvel Universe or the AOF mention the name "Flash", it takes him a bit of context to figure out whether they're talking about him or Barry Allen AKA ''The'' Flash, whose heroics are much more famous than his. However, thanks to his time around Peter, he holds no animosity for the Fastest Man Alive, although they haven't met yet. |
| 99 | ** He also learned that certain spacefaring deities might be talking about Flash Gordon, who he also respects if only because of the Queen song. |
| 100 | * Has resumed his friendship with high school classmate Gwen Stacy following her ascension. [[Pantheon/CharacterWriting Spider-Gwen]], on the other hand, he prefers to avoid given she took on the Venom mantle in the comics. |
| 101 | * Lightning [=McQueen=] gets along with Flash because they both used to be jerks who eventually learned their lesson and became nice people. When they hang out, they usually each other's adventures of what basically happened in their lives. |

| 129 | * Complicated Relationship: '''The Decepticons''' ('''[[Pantheon/WeaponizedAppendages Megatron]]''', [[Pantheon/BetrayalAndTreachery Starscream]], [[Pantheon/CyberneticsAndEnhancements Soundwave]], [[Pantheon/EarthAndRock Rumble And Frenzy]], [[Pantheon/IdentityIssues Blitzwing]], [[Pantheon/MilitaryTechnology Tidal Wave]]) |

| 131 | * Opposed by: The Houses of Pantheon/BeastsAndFauna, Pantheon/TimeAndTemporality, and Pantheon/SpaceAndCosmos, [[Pantheon/ActsOfTreason Trakeena]] |
| 132 | * For a considerable period of time, [[Pantheon/{{Villainy}} Melkor]] had been paying attention to the Multiverse, watching the coming and goings of the timelines. One day, he discovered the events of the Beast Wars and what its version of Megatron had done, which piqued his curiosity. With his dark powers, the God of Evil recovered the Predacon's spark, and restored him to his original glory. After that, it was merely a matter of justifying his ascension. Scanning through his history, Melkor quickly discovered a jarring contrast between his early character compared to later periods. Although the court debated whether he was more fit for DivergentCharacterEvolution, they eventually settled on his title. |
| 133 | ** Though happy to be alive, Megs was less than keen to serve in the Grand United Alliance of Evil with all the organic lifeforms surrounding him. Even the idea of serving under the ''original'' '''Megatron''' didn't help out. So Melkor made a compromise; he allowed the Predacon to join the Grand United Alliance of Machines to aid in their operations, in return, he would give him the army needed to help wipe out his enemies. To that, Megs agreed wholeheartedly. |
| 134 | * A former understudy to the kingpin Cryotek, the Predacon rebel known as Megatron is not the same being as the original Decepticon leader of whom he shares his name with. Instead he is a descendant who desired one thing above all else; restoring the Predacons to their former glory following the end of the Great War... and he will do anything to achieve this goal. ''Anything''. Upon stealing the Golden Disk, he and his crew travelled to prehistoric Earth with the intent of [[spoiler:killing Optimus Prime and changing the course of Transformers history in the process.]] [[NearVillainVictory And he almost succeeded had it not been for Optimus Primal and his Maximals]]. But even when the Beast Wars ended in his defeat, Megatron did not give up. He escaped captivity and quickly took over Cybertron, removing the sparks of its inhabitants and creating a vast army of mindless drones [[AGodAmI with the intent of purging the planet's organic core and becoming its true ruler]]. That too nearly succeeded, [[https://youtu.be/4li0_h8fiQA?t=235 had it not been for Optimus Primal, who sacrificed himself to defeat his nemesis]]. But his death was only the beginning. Now in the Pantheon, Megatron means to enlist mechanical deities to create a new and improved team of Predacons to complete his plan and take over not only Cybertron, but the rest of the Multiverse. |
| 135 | * His actions in his home universe has made him a major enemy of all the Autobots, with Optimus Prime considering bringing his Maximal counterpart up to deal with the Predacon's arrival. Grimlock also has plenty of beef with Megs, not only for him using his power to abuse weaker beings, but also [[https://www.deviantart.com/kingoji/gallery/36326804/Multi-Vs-Auto-Assembly-2011-Comic fighting the Predacon during a trip through the Multiverse]]. As for the ascended Decepticons, the original '''Megatron''' is satisfied with providing his descendant with soldiers to aid him - as well as being content with him [[GreaterScopeVillain trying to kill Optimus Prime in the past]] but wasn't happy about having [[AmplifierArtifact his spark abducted]] and used to further Megs' power. |
| 136 | ** Does not have a high opinion of Starscream, especially after his little stunt [[https://www.dailymotion.com/video/xc52h possessing Waspinator during the Beast Wars]]. |
| 137 | * He gets along surprisingly well with Doctor Doom. Both are incredibly intelligent, arrogant individuals whose plans are normally ruined by holding the VillainBall at the last minute. Most in the pantheon speculate that Megatron doesn't realize that Doom isn't actually a robot. |
| 138 | * Though Melkor managed to convince him to keep his dinosaur/dragon arm (though he has discussed with Clockwerk and Neyla about trading it for a robotic replacement), his ''' absolute hatred''' of all organic life has made him allies with mechanical deities with similar views, from programs like Clu and Sark, to sentient computers like the MCP, AM, XANA, and Hal 9000. He especially gets along with robots like Metal Sonic, Triborg, Fulgore, Dr. Nefarious, Sigma and Ultron. He's fine using certain organics with similar hatreds, like Mr. Burns' hatred of nature, as pawns, though. He keeps a close eye on Burns, Looten Plunder, Ghetsis Harmonia and Pokémon Hunter J to ensure he's ready for any such opportunities. This also makes him the enemy of all organic life in general, with no exceptions... ''Especially'' the Pantheon/NaturePreservers. They've managed to be a thorn in Megs side on multiple occasions, stopping him and his Vehicons from destroying Celebi and The Forest Sprite and sabotaging any recon drones he's sent in. |
| 139 | ** He has been cautious of the Infested ever since his GUAM allies made him aware of its ability to infect both organic and mechanical beings alike. He's also nervous about the Flood, as the living Tyrannosaurus Rex that makes up his arm leaves him incredibly vulnerable to their infection. ''[[VerbalTic Yesss]]''... |
| 140 | * Megatron has considered roping both [[Series/PowerRangersInSpace the Psycho Rangers]] and [[WebAnimation/RedVSBlue the Meta]] to aid in his plans, seeing as they're incredibly skilled fighters and, in Meta's case, reminds him of his former subordinate [[GeniusBruiser Rampage]]. This has however put him in strong opposition of [[Series/PowerRangersLostGalaxy Trakeena]], who views Megatron as being not so different from her robotic second-in-command Deviot. |
| 141 | ** Speaking of Rampage, Megatron has examined the homunculi's philosopher stones, and has devised methods to use it in a similar manner to what he did with Rampage's spark to force homunculi to serve him. This has made him the enemy of Father and his homunculi offspring. |
| 142 | * Many of the Pantheon's resident pandas, such as [[Franchise/KungFuPanda Po]] and [[VideoGame/SlyCooper The Panda King]], have declared Megatron their enemy, after he tried to burn them alive in lava [[MistakenIdentity believing them to be Maximals]]. They were fortunate that Optimus Prime was there to rescue them. Although Megatron has since gone on record saying he wouldn't harm a real panda, the pair aren't fooled, and have warned their corresponding allies. |
| 143 | ** The House of Beasts, in general, are opposed to him because of his tendency to confuse most of them for Maximals. It didn't help much that all the organic denizens reminded him of his time [[spoiler:trapped in a purely organic body; the wolf/dragon hybrid known as Noble/Savage]]. He also won't tolerate any of the local ants (mainly [[Pantheon/TheatricProduction Flik and Z]]) calling him either "the Queen" or "the Royalty". [[EvenEvilHasStandards That's Inferno's job]]. |
| 144 | * On his down time Megatron enjoys nice hot baths in the company of a [[CompanionCube rubber ducky]], whom he converses with quite a bit. Every member of the GUAM tends to poke fun at this detail... until they came face to face with his arm cannon. The mocking stopped after [[Pantheon/DefensivePowers Wood Man]] was found in a [[TheresNoKillLikeOverkill mangled heap of wood and metal]] . |
| 145 | ** That said, he will occasionally go to the House of Pantheon/TheatreAndSpectacle to [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S9iXlC6mwPc sing about his rubber ducky]], often to either wondrous applause, blistering confusion, or humiliating laughter. |
| 146 | * Megatron can go on and on about his time during the Beast Wars, but he will never bring up what he considers [[MyGreatestFailure the most humiliating defeat]] [[NoodleIncident of his entire career]]. The House of Pantheon/TimeAndTemporality, who has a personal beef with the Predacon leader, proceeded to find out what he was referring to. Let's just say...[[https://youtu.be/AhHHf9ax2yM?t=161 they couldn't stop laughing for a straight week]]. |

| 174 | * Not every BigBad who is thwarted by the heroes (or a [[MookFaceTurn mistreated minion]], [[TheStarscream or a traitorous]] [[TheDragon Dragon]]) goes down in death or is sent behind bars never to be seen again, but what ''does'' happen to them if that's the case? Sometimes their villainous role is merely reduced. Sometimes they just retire and stop doing villain work altogether. Sometimes, they even [[HeelFaceTurn turn to the side of good]]. Starlight Glimmer is among the last, and quite a few of her friends (like her nemesis-turned-mentor Twilight Sparkle, as well as Trixie, her first real friend after her reformation) petitioned for her ascension. Starlight was overjoyed to be reunited with them once more, and honored that she's here. |
| 175 | ** That said, her title brings forth a slew of followers, and not all of them are redeemed like Starlight. The Court of the Gods helped get these "sects" segregated to mitigate chances of in-temple conflict. That said, given her title, she was glad not to have been sent to the House of Pantheon/{{Villainy}} instead. |
| 176 | ** Out of the friends Starlight hangs with, Maud is the most frequent (by virtue of being in the same House), with Trixie as a ''very'' close second as she always makes time for visits. In fact, other deities can swear that Maud smiles around her almost as much as she does around Pinkie, perhaps even a little more. Still, it's best not to mention how Maud [[UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom directed Starlight to the rock that she used for her Our Town scheme]]. |
| 177 | * Is truly ashamed of her actions in the past and naturally opposes Amon ([[{{Expy}} whom she was surprisingly a lot like at first]], and was extremely unnerved at that) and Eobard Thawne (for the things she's done in vengeance of her first plot failing). Plots involving loss of individuality also brought her to hate YHVH ([[HateSink but then again, aside from His most devoted, who]] ''[[HateSink doesn't]]'' [[HateSink hate Him]]?), and her past sins earned her the Dahaka's scrutiny. |
| 178 | ** He, in particular, is pissed at her given how she's not only screwed up Equestria's timeline several times over but also thwarted several efforts to ''fix'' it, resulting in those numerous timelines. As such, she's been banned from the House of Pantheon/TimeAndTemporality for her own safety, lest she incurs his wrath. |
| 179 | ** And of course, most displeased to hear of her arrival is Queen Chrysalis, but after the complete abandonment of her by her changeling followers, she's biding her time because she knows what happened last time she attacked a newly-ascended deity (Princess Cadance). Starlight for her part hopes to eventually reach out to and reform the Changeling Queen, just as Twilight had done with her. Opinions from others are divided on this choice. |
| 180 | *** [[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS9E24TheEndingOfTheEndPart1 As of the finale, though]], [[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS9E25TheEndingOfTheEndPart2 she has long since reneged on this idea]]. |
| 181 | ** On a lesser extent, Nena Trinity is also irritated with [[Creator/KellySheridan how she sounds like]] [[spoiler:the Mobile Armor pilot that killed her]], though [[Pantheon/ExtrovertFlaws Setsuna F. Seiei]] helped fill her in on what exactly happened, with Starlight agreeing with him that [[spoiler:Nena deserved to die for what she did to that pilot first, [[IfYouKillHimYouWillBeJustLikeHim just not necessarily the way it happened]]]]. |
| 182 | * Is glad she doesn't need to cross worlds just to meet Sunset, now that they're both in the same place. She's also been "given access" to her human form there should she ever wish to take on that. Sunset's also been trying to get her to learn to be blasé about her past sins just like she has. |
| 183 | * As someone with a terrible history as a child, and debuting as the enemy before being beaten and befriended, Fate Testarossa-Harlaown has become another ally of Starlight's |
| 184 | * Twilight once noted to [[Pantheon/{{Colours}} Barbie]] that she sometimes sounds like Starlight. Now that she's here, the princess has taken the chance to have the two meet. Barbie was glad to finally meet her, and to see her finally reform and [[HeroesFrontierStep solidify her position as a heroine]]. And to think that Twilight took her in because she was too dangerous as an enemy and would be valuable on the side of good. |
| 185 | * Just like [[Pantheon/{{Celebration}} Ebenezer Scrooge]], she used to be cynical regarding the winter holiday, believing it is just an excuse to sing "silly songs," get presents and eat candy, and initially wished to just skip it. She's since changed her mind on this matter. |
| 186 | * Whenever she lets out MirthlessLaughter in response to something, [[TheTell it's easy to tell]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Pqsjp-omM0 that she's stressed or upset]]. |
| 187 | * As someone who was redeemed because she was reached out to, she prefers to do likewise, [[spoiler:especially if her companions think otherwise because their peers say so]]; it would be hypocritical of her if she didn't. |
| 188 | * [[https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-23yirDQlXRo/Wirg7l6f-NI/AAAAAAAC6Bk/oBc4AarmOxIAnF9_QXHeSCa2y2D0sp8WACLcBGAs/s1600/Capture.JPG Having been a latch-key kid]], she sympathizes with victims of ParentalNeglect and opposes those who perform such acts (of course AbusiveParents are ''much'' worse). |
| 189 | * Is really good at reading others, proven when she swayed the inhabitants of her village to her way of thinking, and when she helped resolve [[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS7E10ARoyalProblem an internal strife between Princesses Celestia and Luna]] (helped by the fact that she doesn't default to being delicate around either like most anypony else due to being [[PopCulturalOsmosisFailure outdated]] prior to her HeelFaceTurn). |
| 190 | * There are those who theorize [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t6ISD6EoH3Y that in her time as a villain]], Starlight wasn't just rebelling against cutie marks, [[ScrewDestiny but against destiny itself]]. After the theory video has been reviewed by them, the House of Pantheon/{{Prophecy}} has added her among their "Deities of Interest" lists. |
| 191 | ** there are those who wonder if she really did break destiny and Twilight fixed it in her attempts to stop her, or if destiny was fated to be broken only to be fixed later and for Starlight to be reformed. That kind of question about destiny when time travel gets mixed up in it is often a big headache for just about anybody to ponder on for too long. For this, she would've been the opposite of the Crusaders, since their work is helping others find their purpose. Of course, Starlight wouldn't want to get these girls mad as it is, considering their troubles as of yet. |
| 192 | * [[WhatCouldHaveBeen She was originally supposed to be named "Aurora Glimmer"]], which to many [[ThisExplainsSoMuch explained her colors, mane, and cutie mark design]]. This was changed since [[DisneyOwnsThisTrope "Aurora" was legally owned]] to [[Pantheon/{{Heirs}} Princess Aurora]]. Some have speculated that it was her actual original name, as the abundance of {{Meaningful Name}}s in the series is due to [[MeaningfulRename changing their names to fit]], which was [[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS7E13ThePerfectPear confirmed in canon as a thing]]. Starlight has avoided comment on this, both for the legal reasons and the Pantheon has enough confusion with shared names as it is. |
| 193 | * When asked what she was doing during the [[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyTheMovie2017 Storm King's attack on Canterlot]], she has no ready response ([[ProductionLeadTime the story was in the making before]] her HeelFaceTurn was planned). The one "[[BroadStrokes official]]" account [[VideoGame/MyLittlePonyGameloft has her captured by the Storm King's forces, then recused by the Cutie Mark Crusaders]] and liberated Ponyville. [[ContinuitySnarl This contradicts that the CMC were seen captured outside Ponyville]], so none take this at face value. |
| 194 | * [[DoesNotLikeSpam Is intolerant of mustard.]] |
| 195 | * She has a hidden love of kite flying, along with extensive knowledge of terms. This made her have a bit of an OddFriendship with Kite-Man given his gimmick. She couldn't help but pity the supervillain as to why he made kites his thing and has decided to give comfort by flying kites alongside him and even giving him some advice to improve their aerodynamics. |

| 215 | * Respects: [[Pantheon/{{Mammals}} King Kong]] |
| 216 | * Donkey Kong Jr. was introduced as Donkey Kong's son, who embarked on a mission to save his father after Mario imprisoned him, although not without a good reason for doing so. DK Jr. managed to best Mario and save his dad, later proceeding to aid him in causing mischief as his [[TheDragon right hand man]]. Eventually [[GoKartingWithBowser he started going go-karting and playing tennis with Mario and his friends]], until Junior went [[ChuckCunninghamSyndrome completely missing for decades, only making small cameos ever since]]. Not helped is the fact that his father went on to have [[Videogame/DonkeyKongCountry his own adventure unrelated to Mario]], and Junior's absence was even more noticeable, until one day he suddenly showed up in the Pantheon without any notice, acting as if nothing happened. Given DK Jr.'s long absence and the fact that the Court of Gods have no idea who Chuck Cunningham even is (the records they possess are borderline non-existent) the position of [[ChuckCunninghamSyndrome Vanished Characters]] was given to Donkey Kong Junior. |
| 217 | * The first thing that needs to be addressed about Junior considering his relation to the Kongs is that he is actually the son of the original Donkey Kong, A.K.A. Cranky Kong. The version we know as Donkey Kong is stated to be Cranky's grandson, making Junior his father by default, but then there were other claims that Cranky is actually Donkey Kong's ''father'', meaning both DK and DK Jr. are the [[MyFutureSelfAndMe same person]]. Neither theory has been actually confirmed, not helped that Junior is in the form of a toddler, complicating things even more. |
| 218 | * Confusions aside, the Kongs welcome Junior as one of their own and are happy to see him again after his long absence. His father usually leaves Donkey Kong to take care of him as a little brother of sorts since he is gotten too old to bother with Junior's antics and so most of the time DK is hanging out with him. Diddy Kong and Junior didn't start on the best of terms but they eventually became inseparable, many noting that both are quite similar and there are some behind the scenes reasons [[MorePopularReplacement why Diddy took Junior's place]], but the Kong doesn't mind. He even introduced him to Dixie, who at first was confused that there was another DK but she nevertheless accepted him as a friend. |
| 219 | ** Unfortunately, his family reunion brought an uninvited guest. King K. Rool, [[ChuckCunninghamSyndrome another notable character from the franchise that went missing without any reason]] showed up with his Kremling army to kidnap all the Kongs he could. Luckily he didn't know about the existence of Junior, which gave the Kongs the edge to best the Kremlings and drive the away. After that, Junior was lauded by the Kongs for helping them defeat their sworn enemies and invited him to eat all the bananas he could, making the gorilla toddler beyond happy. |
| 220 | * Contrary to what many believe, Junior did actually have another game where he was the protagonist. Donkey Kong Jr. Math was the follow up to his adventure, where he was tasked with climbing vines to answer the question his father was holding in a sign, notable for being the only EdutainmentGame in the NES. That alone is what got him to meet Baldi, the quirky teacher approached Junior to see if he would be able to do the same with his notebooks but like many others, Junior ultimately was tricked into answering the unanswerable question wrong and had to escape Baldi's wrath. Good thing he knows how to climb, which allowed him to completely avoid the crazed professor and seek help elsewhere. |
| 221 | * Good friends with Mr. Game and Watch, after all he was one of the few people that gave him sanctuary before Junior completely disappeared, also help that Game and Wath and Cranky like reminisce of the good old games of gaming and hold Junior as a good example of what has been lost in the new generation. |
| 222 | * Believe it or not, Junior got to debut in Mario related sports game before his own father, first in VideoGame/SuperMarioKart and going to participate in most Tennis tournaments until he was replaced by Diddy Kong. Even though he started on the wrong foot with Mario they eventually buried the hatchet and became good friends, even befriending other of his close friends like his brother Luigi or Princess Peach. |
| 223 | * Usually frequents the House of Pantheon/BeastsAndFauna, looking for places to relax. He is good friends with the likes of Tarzan, Mowgli and George of the Jungle thanks to their ties with nature, Tarzan even being raised by a family of Gorillas before. |
| 224 | ** That said, one time Junior got in trouble because his tendency to climb vines and frequent jungles got him into trouble with elder dragon Mordremoth, the Kong having entered his temple by accident and managing to set the dragon off. Fortunately, he was rescued by Tarzan in a timely manner before anything bad happened and so he has stayed far away from Mordremoth ever since. |
| 225 | * As the biggest primate on the Pantheon and also the one [[{{Expy}} his father and most of the the other Kongs took inspiration from]], Junior has nothing but respect for King Kong. He wishes that when he finally grows up he becomes as gigantic and he is. |
| 226 | * Curious about other primate deities in the pantheon, Junior set out to meet them and see if they were any different from the Kongs he knew. He became friends with Caesar and Winston who are a lot more serious than him and the Kong Crew but they appreciate him as an unconventional ally and are very curious about his peculiar situation regarding his [[ContinuitySnarl canonicity]]. Both have warned him to stay far away from primates like Mojo Jojo or Koba because they are nothing but trouble. |
| 227 | * In a strange case of OddFriendship Junior and Mighty the Armadillo bonded over being two characters that were forgotten as time went on. Junior hopes that, like Mighty, he gets a chance to return in the future. |

| 247 | * Enemies: '''[[Pantheon/HearthstoneHeroesOfWarcraft The League of E.V.I.L.]]''' (Particularly '''[[Pantheon/{{Metafiction}} Rafaam]]''' and '''[[Pantheon/SpeechAtoM King Togwaggle]]'''), [[Pantheon/MannersOfRevival Galakrond]], [[Pantheon/GreenlandsAndGuardians Mordremoth]], [[Pantheon/GameDesign the Dungeon Keeper]] |
| 248 | * Oppose: The Hall of Pantheon/PrehistoricBeasts |
| 249 | * George and Karl are two Silver Hand recruits whose origins are very easily missed. The two got lost in Un'Goro Crater following an expedition gone wrong and somehow wound up entering the Kobold Catacombs where they would encounter several monsters and adventurers. The two got separated and believing that his friend was dead, George fell into despair and wanted revenge so he joined the League of E.V.I.L. on a misguided attempt to avenge the death of Karl. However, Karl was very much alive and found wandering the desert of Uldum by the League of Explorers, looking for George. The two would reunite in Dalaran, this time as enemies, but Karl's determination to help his friend would make George realize the errors of his way and join the good guys once more. |
| 250 | * The two got into the pantheon after, you guessed it, getting lost. Following the defeat of Rafaam and Galakrond, Karl suggested going for a drink at Bob's bar but somehow entered a different Inn and found themselves in the pantheon. By recommendation from the Innkeeper, the two were given a position of AscendedExtra given their rather innocuous origin. |
| 251 | * George is ashamed of his time as an enforcer of the League of E.V.I.L. and helping revive Galakrond, which is why he wants to set things right by opposing both the League and the Ur-Dragon and have Karl alongside him. Both even ended up requesting to join the Pantheon/GUAGSacredKnights in order to prove their worthiness and Artix von Krieger found them a bit of a goofball duo but nonetheless can feel that they are up to the task....provided they don't get lost again in the Pantheon. |
| 252 | * George and Karl are notoriously bad at directions, Karl mostly. Many are amazed at how they managed to survive Un'goro Crater on their own and somehow end up in the Kobold Catacombs. The two decided to explore the Pantheon to get to know the place but somehow ended up choosing the worst people as guides. Given that they needed a healer and another group of adventurers willing to help them out, they first encountered the kind Celica Mercury, who was happy to help them as their WhiteMage but the two never realized she [[NoSenseOfDirection is even worse than Karl at following directions]]. Then somehow came across the Heroes of Luxendarc and one of their members, Agnes to be exact, pointed them out at where she thought was the location of the [[Pantheon/{{Heroism}} heroes]] (It was actually the House of Pantheon/{{Emotion}}) and the three somehow found a way to end up in another House entirely. The entire ordeal was a mess but the duo ended up becoming friends with Agnes and often like to hang out with her and her friends. |
| 253 | * In a way, the two can be described as George and Lennie in a fantastical setting. Similar names aside, both duos are actually quite friendly to each other since they can sympathize with the ordeals they have gone through and the two being quite the big guys, [[AndCallHimGeorge are able to tolerate Lennie's hugs]] (plus they can heal themselves later if horribly injured). |
| 254 | * Given how they got lost in the first place, they rather stay as far away as possible from jungles to avoid that whole ordeal again. By principle, they oppose the Hall of Pantheon/PrehistoricBeasts for being filled with dinosaurs but the one the two would rather never mess with is Mordremoth, an ancient dragon similar to Galakrond who happens to be shaped like a jungle with many dangerous things living on him. And they thought Un'goro was dangerous. |
| 255 | ** Thankfully the two got over the fear of jungles after venturing with Dr. Alan Grant by request of the Sacred Knights Order. The two ended up learning a lot about dinosaurs with their trip with Dr. Grant and they even managed to pick his interest about the Devilsaurs from their home universe, which they guarantee is totally not worth visiting. That didn't stop Dr. Grant from trying anyway. |
| 256 | * George usually drops by the Battlegrounds to compete in some brawls and was happy to know Bob managed to establish his tavern in the Pantheon, being a perfect way to relax while showing Karl the ropes of how things work there. Bob was just happy that he managed to ditch the League of E.V.I.L. and start anew. |
| 257 | * George isn't that fond of adventurers after their seemingly fatal run-in with those in catacombs and one thing he gladly enjoyed was beating adventurers up back in Dalaran. He seems to have mellowed out on the aspect but those that are very arrogant tend to get on his nerves. |
| 258 | * Karl is an honorary member of the League of Explorers after they found him in Uldum and became good friends with Sin Finley after defeating Rafaam and Galakrond. It's worth noting that ever since escaping the Catacombs he adopted an habit of putting candles in his head, which make others suspect he slowly started to adopt kobold customs. |
| 259 | * During one of their grand adventurers they somehow ended up lost in the Dungeon's Keeper temple. After a series of encounters with the Keeper's minions they both managed to escape and swore to take down the Keeper for forcing them to go through his dangerous temple, possibly a worse experience that Un'goro and the Catacombs combined. |

| 280 | * Hideyasu manage to ascend into the main Pantheon by exchanging his Patron Saint to Godhood status after a [[TrainingFromHell very long intense training]] in the Toku Base. As he enters the Pantheon, his words was "''Do not... underestimate a pattisier. I've been training for this moment as I....HENSHIN!''". |
| 281 | ** Oren Pierre Alfonzo was proud of his apprentice as he hugs him very hard which Jonouchi was a almost squashed in a funny matter. Nevertheless, they are once again able to fight side by side in the pantheon. |
| 282 | * In the past, Hideyasu was originally a leader and only male member of the Beat Riders group Team Invitto during the Inves Games known for his cunning tactics while he is a big coward and an incompetent fighter at that time. Making an alliance with Ryoji Hase from Team Raid Wild after the two received their Sengoku Drivers from Lock Dealer Sid. After he betrayed the de-powered Hase, [[spoiler:due to Hase's mistreatment on him]], he decides to get stronger under the tutelage of Oren Pierre Alfonzo while at the same time, he is invited to join the Toku Demonic Legion which he became a part of it for a while until he left the group after he finally breaks out of his cowardice and became a true redeemed Kamen Rider alongside Oren during the Helheim invasion. |
| 283 | * After the invasion, Hideyasu continues to work in Oren's pastry shop and became satisfied with his life [[spoiler:until he discovered Hase's fate through Takatora Kureshima and he temporarily became a Kurokage Trooper in honor of Hase's death.]] Saddened by this, Hideyasu requested to have Hase become his Herald, to which he was reunited with his friend after having been LockedOutOfTheLoop over his death for the longest of times. |
| 284 | * Even after his ascension, he still gets along with the Demonic Legion Defectors as he also shared his experience with them. |
| 285 | * He gets along with Nagisa Momoe due to the fact that they had a [[{{Expy}} similar experience]] within their respective stories. Nagisa was touched of Hideyasu's viewpoint after they shared their respective stories. |
| 286 | * At one point, Hideyasu bumps into Mami Tomoe, however, the Puella Magi quickly recognize the Armored Rider, as the two of them talks each other in Oren's pastry shop before he learned that his old friend Ryoji Hase was her High Priest. Due to this, Hideyasu and Mami become close friends while he gives her a good remark on Hase that "once Hase gets ascended into the pantheon, he will apologize to him". |
| 287 | * He gets along well with Jeremiah Gottwald since both of them are former villains who later joined on the side of good and became more effective fighters in their respective stories. |
| 288 | * He became friends with Alexander the Great as Jonouchi reminds him of Oren for some reason while Alexander also reminds Jonouchi of Waver Velvet mostly due to their similar traits and personalities. |
| 289 | * He doesn't like most of the dirty cowardly villains, especially with Handsome Jack of the Trollkaigers and Jack Spicer since both three of them reminding him too much of his former self. Due to this, he will do anything to stop their villainy at all cost. |

| 344 | * For Both: |
| 345 | ** After a five-year coma caused by an explosion on Alderman Richard Hughes' private yacht, [[{{Pantheon/OrganizedCrime}} The Boss]] awoke to find that the 3rd Street Saints had collapsed, allowing three new gangs to take over Stillwater in the resultant power vacuum left by the Saints' absence. While looking for new recruits to help the Saints reclaim Stillwater, the Boss managed to stumble across Shaundi, a drug-abusing hippie who happened to have a sordid history with the [[TheYardies Sons of Samedi]]. Although the Boss heavily doubted that Shaundi could [[FauxActionGirl stand her ground]] in comparison to the rest of the gang, her hacking skills and her colossal information network [[ReallyGetsAround consisting entirely of ex-boyfriends]] ultimately proved her worth to the Boss. [[{{VideoGame/SaintsRowTheThird}} A few years later]], Shaundi abandoned her hippie outlook, [[NotAsYouKnowThem becoming more focused and uptight in the process]], especially in light of her friend Johnny Gat's "[[HesJustHiding death]]." In spite of her changes in both personality and appearance, Shaundi would nonetheless remain a staunch ally of the boss and a valued lieutenant for the 3rd Street Saints. |
| 346 | *** Oh, and Pierce was there too, I guess. But really, [[ButtMonkey who gives a fuck about Pierce]]? |
| 347 | ** Unfortunately for Shaundi and Pierce, the Boss was the not the only deity from their universe that was awaiting their arrival in the pantheon. Just as they exited one of the Janus Checkpoints into the pantheon, Shaundi and Pierce almost immediately found themselves surrounded and overwhelmed by a battalion from the Zin Empire that was led by [[{{Pantheon/VillainousReputation}} Emperor Zinyak]] himself. As Zinyak calmly explained his plans to the cornered pair about how he was going to forcibly throw them back into the simulation so that Zinyak could personally torture the two for all of eternity, the Boss, decked out in Zin power armor, dropped down from the sky and proceeded to massacre the battalion, culminating in the Boss once again ripping Zinyak's head off, spinal cord included. After the savage affair was concluded, the Boss, excited to finally have some of other Saints around, promptly treated Shaundi and Pierce to a night at [[BurgerFool Freckle Bitch's]] while the Boss indulged to the two about their various misadventures throughout the pantheon. |
| 348 | ** The Zin would not be the only [[AliensAreBastards hostile alien empire]] that Shaundi and Pierce would have the misfortune of encountering during their time in the pantheon, as the two would sometimes trade blows with the forces of the [[{{Pantheon/ExtraterrestrialAbilities}} Combine]] whenever the Boss decided to test their power armor one of the Combine's many Civil Protection officers. [[{{Pantheon/TyrannicalFigures}} Dr. Wallace Breen]], the Combine's puppet ruler, would also find Shaundi and [[ButtMonkey the Unknown Accomplice]] to be quite aggravating, especially since having his army attack either of the two would incur the wrath of the Boss. |
| 349 | ** Since the duo were in charge of gathering information about the Saints' enemies back in their universe, it was only fitting that the Boss would assign his lieutenants to track down info about his rivals in the pantheon, with Shaundi handle the [[{{Pantheon/CriminalActions}} PAYDAY Crew]] and Pierce the [[{{Pantheon/CriminalActions}} Grand Theft Auto Trio]]. The results were decidely mixed; while Shaundi was able to acquire quite a bit of info about the PAYDAY Gang thanks to having a [[ReallyGetsAround ex-boyfriends]] around in the pantheon, Pierce has had trouble with the Grand Theft Auto Trio from day one, as not only were the Trio actively evading his surveillance attempts after [[MissionControl Lester]] informed them that they were being watched, but any info he does manage to find [[DudeWheresMyRespect is usually credited to Shaundi]]. It doesn't help that [[AxCrazy Trevor Philips]] occasionally kidnaps Pierces so that Trevor could torture him. |
| 350 | -->'''Trevor''': (''Whilst preparing to fling Pierce off a bridge'') Little bird will never learn to fly if he isn't pushed out the nest! |
| 351 | * Exclusive to Shaundi: |
| 352 | ** Having obsessed about gaining vengeance for Johnny's supposed death at the hands of the Syndicate, Shaundi immediately set out to align herself with deities just as preoccupied with vengeance as she was in case she needs backup taking on any future Syndicate deities: |
| 353 | *** One of the first revenge-obsessed deities that Shaundi found was a former hitman named [[Pantheon/AlignmentChanges John Wick]], who was busy practicing his Mozambique Drill in the [[{{Pantheon/Weapons}} House of Weapons]]. Having heard about John Wick's reputaion and deeds, Shaundi was able to have a few cordial conversations with John after telling him about Shaundi's own vendetta with the Syndicate. Before departing to assist the Boss in their battles against Zinyak, Shaundi asked John who he was avenging back in his world, to which John replied that it was his dog. Shaundi then made a mental note to warn the Boss in advance to never even think about crossing John Wick during their time in the pantheon. |
| 354 | *** Shaundi also managed to strike up a rapport with [[{{Pantheon/GameCharacters}} Primrose Azelhart]], a former nobleman's daughter who opted to travel across the land of Orsterra so that she can find and slaughter the crow-tattooed men who were responsible for her father's murder, and was pleasantly surprised when she found out that Primrose also opted to disassemble the organization the men were a part of in addition to avenging her father. While Primrose respects Shaundi's focus, she ended up being quite annoyed when Shaundi revealed that Johnny [[HesJustHiding ultimately turned out to be alive]] in the next game, which caused Primrose to wonder as to what Shaundi was even trying to avenge in the first place. |
| 355 | *** Has a more complicated relationship with [[{{Pantheon/DreamsAndNightmares}} Jac]][[{{Pantheon/Storytelling}} ket]]. Even though Shaundi was able to understand and sympathize with Jacket's vengeful rampage against [[{{Pantheon/OtherCriminals}} Richter]] after the latter murdered the former's girlfriend, Jacket's association with the PAYDAY Gang has caused Shaundi trade blows with him on more than one occasion. Jacket himself has a begrudging respect for Shaundi due to her tenacity and brutality, but he can't help but find it darkly amusing that Shaundi still hasn't figured that [[spoiler:the PAYDAY version [[JackTheRipoff isn't the real Jacket]]]]. |
| 356 | ** During a trip to the [[Pantheon/FightingAndCombat Combat Dojo]], Shaundi caught a ringside seat to [[{{Pantheon/CharacterReveals}} the Bride]] single-handedly mowing down an army of Yakuza during one of the Bride's training exercises. Amazed by the Bride's skills [[BloodKnight and the sheer brutality of it all]], Shaundi immediately moved to befriend the Bride after she was done with her training exercise, even going so far as to request that the Bride teach Shaundi how to fight with a sword after hearing about the Bride's own RoaringRampageOfRevenge against Bill. Although the Bride was reluctant to teach Shaundi anything, she did enjoy Shaundi's company nonetheless, particularly when Shaundi revealed to the Bride about how she wanted to wipe the Syndicate off the face of the earth when she thought that they killed her friend Johnny Gat. |
| 357 | ** Became a target of interest for [[{{Pantheon/VillainousArchetypes}} Doctor Facilier]] almost straight away due to her former assignment of spying on the [[TheYardies Sons of Samedi]] back in her world. Doctor Facilier, anxious that the Saints might confuse him for a certain WitchDoctor from the Sons of Samedi named Mr. Sunshine and try to kill him, kidnapped Shaundi in order to prevent her from warning the Boss about him. [[SelfFulfillingProphecy This of course convinced the Leader of the Saints that Doctor Facilier was actually Mr. Sunshine from the Sons of Samedi, and thus needed to be killed]]. Although Facilier tried to dissuade the Boss from killing by holding Shaundi hostage at his temple, but the Boss was able to neutralize Facilier and free Shaundi with the help of a few conveniently placed flashbang grenades right before they chopped off the Shadow Man's head with a machete. Since the kidnapping, Shaundi has grown even more insecure about becoming a DamselInDistress once again, ultimately resolving to kill Facilier herself the next time she sees him. |
| 358 | ** [[BerserkButton Sensing that another foul hippie had entered the pantheon]], [[Pantheon/ComedyGenres Eric Cartman]] planned to once again approach and tame [[{{Pantheon/OthernessAbominations}} Cthulhu]] for the sole purpose of having the Great Dreamer find and trap Shaundi in the dark dimension of R'lyeh for all of eternity. His plan never got off the ground, however, as Cartman, who accidentally came across Shaundi while the former was marching towards Cthulu's temple, tried to mace Shaundi so that he could imprison her in order to quote unquote "quarantine the hippie infestation," causing Shaundi to lightly slap Cartman, forcing Cartman to retreat to his temple in yet another crying fit. |
| 359 | ** In spite of Shaundi's brutal nature, the gangster has always reserved a soft spot for Christmas since it was the only time of year where she got to spend time with her whole family, and still loved the holiday long after her family eventually drifeted apart. So much so that she even went back in time herself to warn the Saints about a BadFuture where evil version of Santa known only as [[BadSanta Clawz]] had conquered the earth, killed Johnny Gat, and enslaved the Saints. Her dedication and love for the holiday earned her the admiration of [[{{Pantheon/Celebration}} both versions of Saint Nicholas]], who rewarded her with the Feed Dogs limited edition vinyl that her asshole of a boyfriend Veteran Child destroyed years ago. Consequentially, it has also earned her the enmity of Robot Santa Claus, resulting in Shaundi's temple getting repeatedly blown up by the Robot's TOW missiles. |
| 360 | * Exclusive to Pierce: |
| 361 | ** In spite of Pierce's contributions to the Saints, the Boss rarely, if ever, takes the lieutenant seriously or shows him any kind of respect. Appropriately, Pierce has gotten along rather well with [[{{Pantheon/Unpopularity}} Dib Membrane]], a "paranormal investigator" who was constantly disrespected by his peers even though he sought to save them by exposing [[{{Pantheon/Extraterrestrials}} Zim's]] extraterrestrial origins. This alliance between the two has also proven to be beneficial to the Saints when Pierce found out through Dib about Zim's frequent failed attempts to conquer the world, allowing Pierce to inform the Boss about Zim so that they could prevent another Zin incident. The Boss immediately followed up by [[YankTheDogsChain crediting the information about Zim to Dib instead of Pierce and making the paranormal investigator an honorary saint, to Dib's delight and Pierce's annoyance]]. |
| 362 | ** During his time in the pantheon, Pierce giddily found out that he could occasionally become [[{{VideoGame/AgentsOfMayhem}} Kingpin]], a badass alternate version of Pierce who successfully united the original three gangs of Stillwater under one banner, allowing them to counter a suprise attack from [[NebulousEvilOrganization Legion]]. Though to Pierce's annoyance, he was only allowed to be Kingpin for a few hours each day. One day, however, Pierce woke up to find that he was in reality where he was not only Kingpin 24/7, but that he had everything that came with it; money, weapons, power, and, most importantly, the Boss' respect and admiration. Just as Pierce thought that he had finally attained true happiness, [[YankTheDogsChain the simulation came to an abrupt end]], leaving Pierce standing alone in a nondescript room surrounded by the [[{{Pantheon/GUAETrollkaiger}} Trollkaiger]], revealing that they had actually captured Pierce and subjected him to a simulation where he permanently became Kingpin just to mess with him. Heartbroken that his perfect reality was nothing more than a lie conjured up by the Trollkaiger, Pierce collapsed to his knees and banged his fists against the ground in despair as the entire Trollkaiger stood there cackling at his expense. |
| 363 | ** Although the Boss belittles Pierce on a semi-regular basis, the Boss does consider Pierce to be a valuable member of the saints, enough so that they even offered Pierce the position of mayor [[ItMakesSenseInContext Once they officially sovereigned the city of Steelport]]. With that in mind, [[https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=287858355 the Boss decided to officially put Pierce in charge of the expansion of the Saints Empire]], which lets the Boss focus on fighting the Saints' enemies on the front lines. While Pierce wholeheartedly enjoys the prestige that came with the promotion, he has found dealing with the other nation-states to be exhausting, to say nothing of how he found out that someone has contacted the Dark Brotherhood to come and assassinate him. |
| 364 | ** In between missions for the Saints, Pierce has been searching for a fellow avid chess player to play against now that he no longer had Oleg around to compete with anymore. He eventually found one in [[Pantheon/OpposingFate Antonius Block]], a medieval knight most famous for challenging [[Pantheon/DeathAndPostmortem Death]] to a game of chess in exchange for his life, and offered to play a few rounds with the knight. Antonius, eager to play against a deity he could actually beat at chess, accepted Pierce's offer. Nowadays, Pierce and Antonius can be seen playing chess at various locales throughout the pantheon whilst discussing the meaning of life and other philosophical questions, only for the matches to always end without a winner due to inconvenient disruptions from the Boss and their antics. Doesn't stop Pierce from claiming that he was beating Antonius each time though. |
| 365 | ** During a trip to the Hall of Pantheon/DreamsAndNightmares in order to sort out some nightmares he's been having lately, Pierce had the poor timing to come across Zuul and Vinz completing a ritual to summon [[{{Pantheon/Shapeshifters}} Gozer]] to the House of Pantheon/{{Mentalism}}. Taking notice of Pierce, Gozer shouted at the Saint to "choose the form of the Destructor" that Gozer will assume to destroy the House with. Unable to clear his mind in time, Pierce thought about the subject of his nightmares, causing Gozer to assume the form of Paul, a ginormous can of Saints Flow. As Pierce ran away in terror from Paul as started to wreak havoc upon the House of Mentalism, the Boss, along with the assitance of the [[Pantheon/CombatOccupations Ghostbusters]], flew a space ship into Paul's mouth and destroyed his brain, killing Paul and flooding the House with Saints Flow. Infuriated with the destruction that had been inflicted upon the House, the Overseers of Scheming subsequently moved to ban Pierce from the House until the end of time itself, much to Pierce's dismay. |
| 366 | ** On more than one occasion Pierce has performed a duet with the Boss in one of the pantheon's many karaoke bars. That said, during times where the Boss is unavailable due to whatever deity and/or group of deities that the Boss then-currently wants to kill, Pierce is more than happy to switch out the Boss with [[{{Pantheon/FightingStyles}} Kazuma Kiryu]], whom Pierce found out about after walking in on Kiryu singing to the tune of [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MJbE3uWN9vE Bakamitai]]. While Kiryu is impressed with Pierce's singing capabilities, he usually finds himself on his guard when around Pierce after hearing about how he was assigned to take down [[{{Yakuza}} the Ronin]] back in his world. |

| 386 | ** Those [[VideoGame/HalfLife who participated in the]] [[VideoGame/HalfLifeOpposingForce Resonance Cascade]]: '''[[Pantheon/MurderAndAssassination The Black Ops]], [[Pantheon/ExtraterrestrialBehaviour the Vortigaunts]], [[Pantheon/ExtraterrestrialAppearanceAndBiology the Headcrabs]]''', [[Pantheon/FacialAttributes the Nihilanth]], [[Pantheon/ExtraterrestrialAbilities the Combine]] |
| 387 | ** Others: Other aliens such as [[Pantheon/ExtraterrestrialBehaviour the Khan Maykr, the Martians]], [[Pantheon/{{Zombies}} the Flood]], [[Pantheon/VillainousAttitude Zinyak]], [[Pantheon/CommonColors the Science Team]] (minus Benrey, a little bit), [[Pantheon/NarrativeGenresAToM John and Henry Freeman]] |
| 388 | * The Resonance Cascade was one of the biggest events that changed the course of history, as one interference from a Xen Crystal created a portal that brought various extraterrestrial life within the Earth. During this time, the Hazardous Environment Combat Unit or HECU, was deployed to contain the incident, from killing the alien lifeforms, to including all other witnesses. As they were winning in their first foray to the base, the second day slowly marked their loss as more powerful Xenian lifeforms popped up and they were losing control over the base, in addition to the elusive capture of one scientist by the name of Gordon Freeman. What would have been an easy culling for the marines turned into sour defeat as their forces were forced to pull out and nuke the entire place. One of these marines was Adrian Shephard, who was tasked to intercept the remaining HECU forces during the initial invasion, though the schedule was interrupted by a helicopter crash and he was separated from his squad. After encountering several Xenians, he would soon discover ''another'' alien invasion occurring in the farther sides of the research facility and with the aid of his squad, scientists and security officers scattered around the facility, managed to halt their advance, as well as survive assassinations from Black Ops teams for failing to do the mission. Eventually, a suited figure, the G-Man acquired Shephard and kept him under evaluation, or rather detention if you will. |
| 389 | * With the HECU's installation in the Pantheon, Shephard finally felt like he was not alone as his forces were able to regroup. When news of the HECU's attempts to capture Gordon Freeman were at a loss reached to him, he was told to watch over his movements in the case he would be spotted for capture. Unfortunately for them, they were notified that Xenian creatures were also spotted around the Pantheon, with the Vortigaunts and Headcrabs among others. Fearing that a second Resonance Cascade might occur, the HECU were forced to mobilize to contain this threat, after which a bigger threat emerged after their defeat, putting a third party in place of their war. With the HECU sandwiched between their capture of Freeman, the Xenian culling and the Combine's emergence, Shephard continued to serve the HECU to the bitter end, though unbeknownst to the military, he was already an asset, and a pending one, to someone else, the mysterious being known as the G-Man. |
| 390 | * Reasons as to why the G-Man kept Shephard alive has been kept silent, also not helped that the marine rarely speaks but according to the events that unfolded, Shephard was considered a threat for knowing too much of the incident. Originally he was planned to be killed and had the possibility to die numerous times, however his fates were averted by the G-Man three times, one in a toxic chemical room where he opened a door for him to be freed, another in his supposed extraction where the G-Man halted his advanced due to his squad's imminent demise, and finally where he captured him for evaluation as an asset. The irony is that in Shephard's diary, he wanted something different for his adventure beyond the military. [[BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor If only he knew what would be in store for him the next day]]. In regards to his title, a main question remained: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jFNUUtrBSmU is Shephard's story in line with the universe]]? The only closest would be [[https://combineoverwiki.net/wiki/Return_to_Ravenholm a theoretical story where he was deployed to Ravenholm]] which did not make the cut, much to his dismay. |
| 391 | * As with most HECU marines, Adrian has a personal beef with Gordon Freeman who has been under comms for killing many marines during the incident of which he considers to be his brothers as with most military soldiers. That said, both are very mute and have shown trust within the battlefield without saying a word, same with the marine who was able to help the survivors within the facility following the military's pullout despite the orders to kill any witnesses, though this can be attributed by him not receiving the order during the helicopter crash. They will also drop their grudges should hostile Xenians and Combine soldiers intervene, the latter of which disheartened the marine seeing what would happen to Earth [[VideoGame/HalfLife2 following the elimination of most Xen forces]]. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4xmzvfgHh-A At one point, there was one time where Shephard tried to intervene Gordon's trip to Xen]] but that created a time paradox that the G-Man was forced to change. |
| 392 | ** Unfortunately for him and the HECU, another military force started intervening just as they were trying to handle the other Xen aliens and Combine, the Black Ops were unraveled when Shephard was heading to the House of Pantheon/{{Slaughter}} without notification that they were already present. In paper, all these human factions would coordinate with each other but this has not shown to be the case, instead each would be killing each other out of removing any form of evidence for cover up. Both Freeman and Shephard have already encountered these assassins and are mostly sure that they have no mercy towards witnesses, especially after the HECU's failed attempt at stabilizing the incident. |
| 393 | * Due to some changes within the Pantheon, the G-Man was told to allow his ascended assets some form of freedom, of which he was hesitant as Shephard has been in evaluation while Gordon has been his best asset [[VideoGame/HalfLifeAlyx until he was not]]. However, the majority of the votes forced him to reconsider and both have some time off past being in stasis. While Adrian was able to meet familiar faces both good and bad, the other faces of the Pantheon has him on edge, likely because all the bloodshed he was forced to commit made him anxious on who is in his side and who is not. The Men in Black were the first people he met that made him act this way as his dealings with the aforementioned Black Ops made him wary towards black operations. Much like some of the G-Man's employers, they were convinced that Shephard knew too much but considered him a thorn to remove, thanks to his survival instincts kicking in. It is after all how he survived against all odds within the Black Mesa Facility past Gordon. |
| 394 | ** Thanks to some of his recon, he slowly grew out of that suspicious attitude and decided to try to either befriend or ally other deities, preferably those who survived or witnessed an alien invasion firsthand. John Nada can vouch for Adrian's attempts at friendship, though he mostly hangs out with him due to his paranoia with aliens. Others have issues trying to work out with him, likely because he never takes off the mask that he has with him and never speaks, a polar opposite to the remaining HECU soldiers that are very vocal both in and out of combat. |
| 395 | * At first, both him and another gask-mask deity, HUNK, were theorized to get along due to their ability to overcome against all odds and survive despite the conditions stacked against them. However, as time went on, both were slowly getting a bit hostile and heated likely due to clear differences. While Shephard cared about his teammates, HUNK could care less about the Wolfpack and worked on his own in some Umbrella black operations. They would probably be on the verge of killing each other, had there not been [[GasMaskMook a few]] [[BreakoutMookCharacter similarities]] [[OneManArmy holding them off]] though HUNK got the last laugh as Shephard [[LongBusTrip has ever yet to return]]. |
| 396 | * After he finally entered the plane, few recruiters to a shadow program were sent to his temple, with him weapons drawn. A representative of this organization revealed themselves to be XCOM, wanting to recruit as many operatives as they can due to the rising extraterrestrial threats within the Pantheon. As such, Shephard was contacted by HECU to lower his weapons as while shaky, the military has agreed to cooperate with them under the same goal with one of the issues being whether or not the HECU screw up with the whole "shoot first, then ask questions" policy. The same could also be said for the Alliance of Free Stars, as human representatives also came in Shephard's temple to explain the situation. While not obviously shown, a diary of Adrian can be seen with complete confusion and doubt as he has never met any non-hostile alien that has ''not'' tried killing him, exacerbated by the Alliance that visited him. He has made some considerations but it still leaves him questions how an alien species managed to be friendly to some, or perhaps it is just his bad luck. |
| 397 | -->'''Shephard''': You know, when I asked for a new adventure, I did not expect this. Many civvies sure and as well as my division but Black Ops members roaming around with other weird looking things gives me the heebie-jeebies. I mean, I had encounters with regular civvies but with those things as "allies". Now I'm just stumped. There is still that one weird guy I keep hearing about, something around the lines of "stalking" and "employers", weird government stuff apparently. |
| 398 | * Even with his acceptance to Godhood, him and the HECU have been called time and time again for certain alien outbreaks that occur around the premises, often with disastrous results, though this is what happens when regular marines are pitted against much advanced foes. Shephard seems to be the exception though, either with the G-Man's interference, or due to his training, he has survived many encounters. It even attracted a few unwarranted attention from other forces, with the Khan Maykr considering him to be a nuisance, though not as threatening as the Doom Slayer, the Gravemind taunting him with possessed HECU-Flood combat forms and Zinyak offering him a place in his empire, before refusing and forced to fight against multiple Zin soldiers, though he has stated he wants him alive as per the Zin Empire modus operandi, even the Martians have agreed to put him in the watchlist after his successful termination of Race X. However, while all are either gunning him down or attempting capture, they do not realize that the G-Man is watching carefully, possibly considering him or not. |
| 399 | * Adrian's confusion would not stop there as he would be confronted with similar figures but with rather... different attitudes. First was a Science Team that he recognized but were extremely trigger happy when handed with a weapon. The HECU deemed them tertiary threats but upon closer inspection, they seem to be on par when it comes to threat level with the original Gordon. Confusion reached to new heights when another Gordon Freeman was with the team, but acted differently than the other one, able to speak and is the most violent among the group. Two of the members also had dealings with the HECU, so Benrey has no qualms being with him but Bubby has decided to not comment on the matter. The Team has reportedly attempted shooting the marine down with no remorse and has spoken about their vendetta against the United States' Military, of which they lumped Adrian with thanks to his uniform. Another duo by the name of John and Henry Freeman, the self-proclaimed "relatives" to Gordon Freeman (though the two aforementioned Gordons have no comment on whether this is true) also deem him as a threat owing to again, the HECU's long history with their relative. Unlike the Science Team however, they have agreed that they will cease fire and handle other far more reaching threats if need be. |

| 421 | * Andrew Ryan was the creator and ruler of Rapture. Born Andrei Ryanovski in Soviet Russia, he emigrated to America at a young age, eventually becoming one the country's richest and most powerful industrialists. However, he became increasingly disillusioned with the U.S. after the enactment of FDR's social policies, which reminded him of the country he had fled. The dropping of the atomic bombs in Nagasaki and Hiroshima were the last straw since Ryan saw them as the corruption of science and industry into making a weapon that allowed "parasites" to destroy what they couldn't seize. Wishing to flee said "parasites" and fearing all out nuclear war, Ryan created Rapture so that he and what he saw as the best examples of mankind could live in peace. |
| 422 | ** However, despite initially following Creator/AynRand's philosophy of UsefulNotes/{{Objectivism}}, he's eventually turned against ''everything'' his dream stood for. In response to Frank Fontaine's business empire, he used state power to absorb it instead, thus becoming the "Big Government" he founded Rapture to get away from. In response to Anna Culpepper writing songs critical of Ryan's regime, he ordered her death, becoming [[MediaWatchdog the censor]] artists were not supposed to fear in Rapture. By using pheromones to control his loyalists' minds, Ryan removed the self determination he once considered sacred. He opposed the mad science in Rapture, despite believing that the scientist should not be constrained by "petty" morality. Lastly, [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking despite being an atheist, several institutions have]] ReligiousAndMythologicalThemeNaming. |
| 423 | ** That said, looked at as MetaphoricallyTrue, if one considers the very likely idea that he's taken Objectivism to its logical if excessive conclusion, he did everything for his own benefit. Add in the point of altruism being considered anathema to personal self-interest and the emphasis on "looking out for number one," it likely that Rapture wasn't meant to be a charitable refuge for the world's elite. In other words, he is—or rather was—Rapture and that all that mattered to him was himself, arguably the one thing he ''wasn't'' hypocritical about to the end. Everyone else in the city was simply invited to try their luck in his glorified playpen. |
| 424 | * Some time after his being golf clubbed to death by his son Jack Ryan, Andrew found himself before the Court of the Gods after an unspecified deity petitioned for his ascension. He was initially displeased after their sales pitch, though it was less of his position and more on godhood as a whole, given that he's an atheist, but the Court pointed out that [[https://www.reddit.com/r/grandorder/comments/6xgkxm/fate_characters_in_the_tvtropes_pantheon/dmgxx02/ godhood in the Pantheon is less a in literal sense of that word and more of a real estate paper to own their own place in here]]. |
| 425 | * Also, after grilling him ruthlessly of his failures (at the behest of an anonymous deity who vouched for Andrew's ascension in the first place), the Court offered to help in rebuilding Rapture (some people are actually interested in an Objectivist-following society and wish to see how it will work out, and even marvel by how socially progressive it was at the time[[labelnote:*]]where a black man can get a shoeshine from a white man, and where homosexual couples are a thing, and this is ''not'' seen as strange in Rapture[[/labelnote]]). There will be a few caveats, though, as well as advantages. Which he was forced to accept [[spoiler:to avoid the coup of Frank Fontaine that eventually brought the whole city to ruin, not helped by Andrew's paranoia]]: |
| 426 | ## There will be trading to and from Rapture, so as to maintain a balanced supply and demand and decrease incentive for contraband. |
| 427 | ## People are allowed to leave or enter as they please so long as they follow Rapture's creed while inside the city. It's not like his city is a secret anymore, so there's no point in enforcing ResignationsNotAccepted. |
| 428 | ## Any who have issues with Rapture's vision will still have to behave themselves while inside, and any who cause trouble in it will be evicted. Invaders, such as the pirate Black Manta, will be similarly fended off. |
| 429 | ## To prevent the resentment that resulted in Rapture's eventual downfall, the city's (basic) food, health care, sanitation and oxygen supply are not to be exorbitantly charged (cuisines being exempt from this policy), with the last being free and supplied by outside sources. The former three are to be under control by publicly funded social programs, since they're pivotal to Rapture's stability. After all, Rapture still needs blue-collar workers to "clean the toilets" and such. |
| 430 | ## Rapture will be rebuilt with better materials (for one, '''not''' using aluminum frames as it is a lot weaker than steel when it comes to handling stress, which especially applies when underwater), though aesthetics will remain under Andrew's discretion. |
| 431 | ## Andrew has the right to evict and ban "parasites" from Rapture, but the Court will determine the duration of the ban and whether or not it's indefinite. |
| 432 | ## No MadScientist in Rapture is permitted to use sapient beings as test subjects, since—ethics aside—that would invalidate Andrew's creed. |
| 433 | * Andrew doesn't really spend time in his temple, which is mostly a portal gateway to the bathysphere port that takes people to Rapture, as well as a screen that serves as a means of communicating with Andrew directly from his office. |
| 434 | * Being partially responsible for Elizabeth's death in his city, she and Booker naturally oppose him. |
| 435 | * As for his son Jack Ryan, he has no choice but to acknowledge that he's well on his way to becoming a man and not as slave as he [[spoiler:either took Splicers with him to the surface and launched a nuke, or fled to the surface with seven rescued Little Sisters and lived a long and fulfilling life with them]]. In any case, Jack wants nothing more to do with Andrew. |
| 436 | * Given his life experiences, he's remaining a neutral party in regards to the Pantheonic Wars. |
| 437 | ** Being an atheist as well as scorning all forms of favoring the common folk and having specifically founded Rapture to '''escape''' the big governments, he's definitely not allied with the GUAG or GUAL. He also sees YHVH as everything wrong with religion worship controlling the masses. |
| 438 | ** Rapture would '''doubtless''' be screwed over should the GUAE or GUAD win. He will not allow tyranny or oblivion to end this dream of his. |
| 439 | ** Despite being the closest to his alignment and most tolerant of his vision, the fact that the GUAC also values strength and power leaves him with a bad taste in his mouth, since Rapture is mostly comprised of artists and scientists. Unless he can find someone in there capable of and willing to protect Rapture... |
| 440 | ** What he perceives as limited creativity from machines means he won't back the GUAM either. |
| 441 | * Because of the Russian Revolution, which eventually brought the Bolsheviks into power, destroyed his family's business and got his aunt and uncle killed for opposing the communist regime, he doesn't have any favorable opinions for those who come from there, even if he was born there. |
| 442 | * Considered Roosevelt and his "New Dealers" to be "spoon-feeding" Americans on the "Bolshevik Poison", and considers "parasites" those who benefit undeservedly from others. Roosevelt's social programs has the intention of restoring hope and an economic engine devastated by the unfettered excesses of men like Andrew Ryan, so that's understandable. |
| 443 | * Nukes had been the tipping point for him before he decided to strike out on his own, so he loathes those who would employ such methods or use such weapons no matter their reason. |
| 444 | * In hindsight, hiring Sofia Lamb to meet the demand of a psychologist in Rapture proved to be a mistake, as her personal philosophy and background ran entirely opposed to his own. The Court has provided substitutes who would prove better and would not incite a revolution. |
| 445 | * Commander Shepard and the deified Federation Captains (Kirk, Picard, Janeway and Archer) oppose Rapture's ideals, the latter three due to Rapture's ideals being a perversion of those presented by the Federation. Shepherd sees Rapture as no different than Cerberus, and so does Miranda. Jack the biotic attempted to smuggle herself in once, but after last time, before Andrew's ascension and Rapture's revamp, she's been discovered and forcibly evicted. |
| 446 | * When it comes to other philosophies... |
| 447 | ** Even if it's a philosophy unbound by tradition and morality, Yamato's meritocracy has its own constraint that Andrew can't tolerate; the need to be productive, or else be cast out. |
| 448 | ** Having been compared to Cerberus by Shepard and Miranda, Andrew is barely on speaking terms with the Illusive Man. While both are unconstrained by morality and work to make advancements, Andrew's distaste comes from the fact that TIM has "selfless" motivations, and while it's true that he's yet to get any actual extraterrestrials to join Rapture so far, Cerberus would oppose his city should that happen. |
| 449 | * [[Pantheon/VillainousArchetypes Lex Luthor]], Darth Sidious, Makuta Teridax and Isaac Westcott think Andrew lacks true ambition, as the power he seeks is ultimately irrelevant in a world of gods and magic. He in return despises the latter three since Rapture won't survive under their victory, and is disappointed with the former for utilizing his advancements just for stopping Superman when [[CutLexLuthorACheck he could do much more with it]]. |
| 450 | * Robert House is his chief business rival, yet both share a mutual respect, due to the both of then coming from RagsToRiches. Ironically, one scenario regarding House's mortal demise involves The Courier braining Mr. House with a golf club, just like Andrew. |
| 451 | * Is displeased with Brentalfloss's [[https://youtu.be/VIwC9_VCZCY pitch of his city]]. [[Music/DanBull This rapper]], [[https://youtu.be/uaeSiZAEzwQ on the other hand]], less so, even if he tries to imitate his voice. It can also serve as a good sales pitch for Rapture. |
| 452 | ** That said, being from a time long before rap was even a concept, he is utterly confused by this style of music. |
| 453 | -->'''Ryan:''' Is this truly what the modern youth respond to...? |
| 454 | * [[Pantheon/{{Philosophy}} The Mob]] tweaked his slogan for [[WebVideo/TwitchPlaysPokemonCrystal one of their adventures]] when they were (at the time) opposing Lord Helix. Andrew isn't amused. |
| 455 | * [[Pantheon/EstablishmentsAndDistricts The Institute]] is interested in expanding their operations to Rapture, seeing as how their goals coincide with his own. But Andrew is put off by the Institute's M.O. of killing and replacing humans with Synths. |
| 456 | * Gets some ire from the House of Nature for the time he burnt down a forest (admittedly in his own property) in response to the government trying to claim it as a park, and again when he deprived Rapture's oxygen supply just to keep Jack Ryan from reaching him by torching the gardens. |
| 457 | * Because of it being essentially a pro-capitalist utopia ([[{{Dystopia}} on the surface that is]]), Andrew simultaneously respects and envies the Holy CityOnTheWater, [[Literature/TheAsteriskWar Asterisk]], for its economic prosperity and technologic achievements. |
| 458 | * To Raz, Andrew [[Creator/ArminShimerman sounds too much like]] his father, whom he had spent much of his time getting away from [[spoiler:and eventually reconciling with]]. |
| 459 | %% * [[Pantheon/RatchetAndClank Doctor Nefarious]] |
| 460 | %% * [[Pantheon/StarCraftII Emil Narud]] |
| 461 | * After having been given an outsider's perspective of her world's events and its characters, [[Pantheon/FictionalExpies Spinnerette]] has noted Andrew's Objectivism goals, and that her city's villain Dr. Universe follows the same principle. And might probably do a lot better there than Andrew would. |

| 480 | * Some people begin their lives in obscurity before circumstances push them to gain fame and to become heroes known by all. Daichi Misawa's story is the exact opposite of that. At first, he was a main character and one of the more promising new students of Duel Academia, a school centered around teaching the next generation of Duel Monster players. His analytical approach to dueling won him much attention during the first year to the point he entered a friendly rivalry with the school's rising star Judai Yuki and was chosen by the headmaster to protect one of the keys that would awaken the evil cards known as the Sacred Beasts |
| 481 | ** Then the second year happened and it all went downhill. The arrival of many talented duelists to the academy and his logical approach to dueling not fitting how strange his world was becoming meant he lost a lot of attention and relevance, to the point his friends and his former rival began to frequently forget he even existed. The frustration he felt from this treatment leads him [[FaceHeelTurn to join the Society of Light created by the Light of Destruction]]... Only to be just as ignored and mocked as before. A meeting with his idol in scientific dueling Allbert Zweinstein convinced him to quit the Society and become his lab assistant, disappearing for the rest of the season. |
| 482 | ** The next time he was seen, he had been transported to another dimension due to a lab accident for months, which none of his friends had noticed. He helped the other Duel Academy students when they landed in the same dimension, mostly by providing {{Expospeak}} which notably helped Judai deal with his dark side, but he didn't duel even once. He didn't make one single appearance in the fourth and final season, with no explanation whatsoever. He is a man who lost all relevance he had both in and out of the universe. |
| 483 | ** His ascension into the Pantheon was... odd. Judai just happened to stumble upon him talking to several deities in the House of Knowledge. As it turned out, he stumbled into the Pantheon when he was doing experiments on dimensional and since nearly everyone there treated him as a background character, he was able to walk around as he wished. Wanting to do something for his friend who helped him with the Supreme King, Judai asked the Court of the Gods if Daichi could be given an official position. Seeing how his life began with great promise only to end with mediocrity, he was granted the title of those DemotedToExtra. Naturally, he got very mixed feelings about that. |
| 484 | * When asked about his whereabouts during the rest of his class's last year at the Duel Academy, he answered that he [[IChooseToStay chose to stay]] in the Dark World with his wife Tanya and people who needed his efforts to help them rebuild their world. In short, the one place he felt useful and relevant. He only sighed tiredly when he realized [[WhatHappenedToTheMouse none of his fellow students tried to figure out where he was or even noticed he was missing]]. |
| 485 | * While he is friends with the other Duel Academy students, he can't help but resent them constantly forgetting about him, which they continue to do in the Pantheon. The exception to this is Judai himself, who is thankful for his help in dealing with the Supreme King. Though they're not really rivals anymore, they still enjoy dueling each other from time to time. |
| 486 | ** Naturally, he was rather cautious about [[Pantheon/{{Gender}} Yubel]], since they were responsible for a great deal of suffering for his friends. However, he was able to see how she had changed for the better, and she is grateful for his help in making Judai accept her. So while they're not quite friends, they are now on speaking terms. |
| 487 | ** Of course, he was more than ecstatic to meet legendary duelists such as Yugi Muto or Katsuya Jonouchi. Most of them get along fine with the former Ra Yellow. One notable exception is Seto Kaiba, who calls him a disgrace to Duel Academy for having given up on dueling and on becoming the best. [[JerkassHasAPoint Misawa recognizes that he's got a point,]] which only made the insult bite harder. |
| 488 | ** He was ''horrified'' upon learning the existence of the Academia, an evil and militaristic version of Duel Academy. As such, he was rather ambivalent when it came to meeting Yuri and Sora Shiun'in, who had both done fairly awful things as part of said school. While he recognizes that they have somewhat changed from those wicked days, their carefree and trollish attitudes still rub him the wrong way, especially since they love to remind him of his fall from grace. He has fewer problems with Serena, since she was a professional soldier instead of a sadist like the previous two. |
| 489 | ** Since it had previously used his insecurities to brainwash him into one of its servants, Daichi is deeply resentful towards the Light of Destruction. The said entity [[ButForMeItWasTuesday acts as if it had completely forgotten about him]], only angering the duelist further. Some deities suspect that this is a deliberate ploy to lure Misawa under its service again, and so has kept a close eye on the latter. For the same reason, he is also deeply uncomfortable around Takuma Satou, even if he was also brainwashed at the time. |
| 490 | * After hearing about them, he grew sympathetic both to Yamcha, due to being so outclassed by his friends that he eventually became irrelevant in fights much like Daichi became irrelevant in duels, and to Kellam for also being often forgotten by his comrades. Though the three have grown to be okay with their relatively minor presence, they still like to hang out with each other to talk about their little problems. |
| 491 | * Upon hearing about how he helped Judai accept the darker parts of him that was the Supreme King, the Investigation Team approached Daichi and commended him for his actions. Touched from the fact that he was recognized for once, Daichi quickly befriended the team and said that he would gladly help them if any of their investigations or dealing with Shadows would require any scientific expertise. Of them all, he gets along the best with Naoto due to their similarly cerebral approaches to life. |
| 492 | * He is a fervent believer that everything in the world can be solved through mathematics, including Duel Monsters. As such, his temple's walls are frequently decorated with his numerous formulas, which he make sure to clean up regularly so he can write new ones. This fondness of mathematics eventually caught the attention of the mathematician Ian Malcom, who formed a friendship with him. It helps that the older doctor became a much more serious person in his old age. |
| 493 | * As mentioned before, he had quit Duel Academy to become the apprentice of Dr. Albert Zweinstein, a worldwide-renowned German physicist. And so, naturally, upon meeting [[Main/{{Expy}} the very similar]] Albert Einstein, he was beyond impressed and overjoyed. Said Dr. Einstein, appreciating Misawa's brilliance despite his young age, allows him to assist the elderly scientist on his work. This admiration for Einstein led to him building a friendship with even younger Dexter and even began to teach the later Duel Monsters. Thanks to his life's work as a 'scientific duelist', he gets along famously with the good members of the House of Science. |
| 494 | ** Another brilliant scientist he frequently assists is Reed Richards, since the latter's works with interdimensional portals were similar to Daichi's own works with dimensional travel. The leader of the Fantastic Four is more than happy to support the development of a young brilliant mind. |
| 495 | * He's got a girlfriend in Tania, a sentient tiger that can take human form. As such, he was a bit curious to meet the tigers that lived in the Pantheon. Meeting Tigger and the other living plushies of the Hundred Acre Woods puzzled the scientifically-minded teenager a bit, but they're all so sweet that he doesn't mind their company at all. Though he didn't have much to talk about with [[Pantheon/FightingCombos Master Tigress of the Furious Five]], they still had a mostly cordial meeting despite their very different set of interests. In contrast, Shere Khan reacted the same as he always does with humans: by trying to eat poor Misawa. After running the hell away, the young man decided to do his best to avoid the evil tiger. |
| 496 | * An unexpected friend he made within the Pantheon is Masaru Damon, who had also decided to remain in an alternate world known as the Digital World to stay with his partner Agumon. The two teenagers managed to bond from that shared experience, and Misawa decided to do his best to help Damon on his quest to better relationships between Digimons and humans. Though the duelist can't help but find the DATS agent being even more reckless and hotheaded than Judai was at first annoying. |
| 497 | ** Another person with similar experience is Milo Thatch, a scientist who had decided to stay in Atlantis with the woman he loves. Though they specialize in different sciences, the two have become fast friends and often talk together about the results of their research. Some deities couldn't help but be amused that [[AmazonChaser they both shared a liking for a woman much stronger than them.]]. |
| 498 | * [[Manga/YuGiOhGX An alternate version of Misawa never lost his relevance in the storyline or in dueling circles, yet also had a silly crush on Asuka Tenjouin.]] He is unsure of how to think of it, but he did adopt several of his counterpart's tactics into his own strategy. |

| 517 | * Back in the early 1950s, The Fabulous Hudson Hornet was one of the greatest racers to ever live, winning three consecutive Piston Cup tournaments between '51 and '53 alone. This all changed, however, when he wrecked the following year and was not allowed to race again. Embittered by this outcome, Doc Hudson moved to Radiator Springs to act as the town's doctor and judge. This changed when a hot-headed rookie came crashing into his town (literally) and was pushed by the townsfolk to make him repair it. All he wanted was him gone, reminded him too much of his past. However, despite the two not seeing eye-to-eye, he and Lightning [=McQueen=] were able to put their differences behind them and team up for his Tiebreaker Race for the new Piston Cup. He didn't get to see Lightning win, but he saw something even better: a good sport who learned there was more to racing than just that. |
| 518 | * Doc continued to act as [=McQueen's=] mentor until his sudden death near the turn of the decade. While currently unknown why he died, it coincided with the death of Creator/PaulNewman, the man who provided his voice. [[WesternAnimation/Cars2 The following Piston Cup was temporarily renamed in remembrance of him]]. Though, curiously, it took awhile for him to make his way to the Pantheon. When he did arrive, it made Lightning [=McQueen=] very happy to see his old mentor again. |
| 519 | ** The two caught up on what was going on in the world since his passing. Doc was amused by the fact that one of those [[GrailInTheGarbage "Empty Cups"]] was filled with him, noting that while he wasn't sure if that was something he expected he respected the gesture anyway. Likewise, he had this to say when Lightning brought up [[WesternAnimation/Cars3 his time in a similar predicament to where Doc was in '54]]: |
| 520 | -->"Well, if there's something I learned from you kid, even if you were never able to listen again, there's still hope you could pass your tricks down to the next generation. [[spoiler:Seems you're already doing some of that with that Cruz girl. Looks like my pupil's become a good teacher in his own right.]]" |
| 521 | * One old man that Doc was able to get along with just fine was a certain Carl Fredricksen. Upon meeting, the two elderly men swapped stories about their past. Doc his racing career, Carl his time with Ellie, both eventually ending in tragedy. The two also found it odd that both of their lives forever changed when a younger individual came into their life and schemes. Of course, Doc could never say he'd flown using a bunch of helium balloons, but Carl could never say he's a sentient car. If one wishes to hear interesting stories shared by two old men, this dynamic duo has some interesting tales. |
| 522 | * Being a mentor with a troubled past, Doc found solace with fellow mentors in his boat. One such individual was Obi-Wan Kenobi. Though couldn’t emphasize with his situation of feeling he failed his own student, he does understand the fear it created and that feeling of being a failure. Likewise, he sympathizes with Mr. Miyagi's trauma in World War II and how it influenced his own studio. Miyagi also relates to Doc as he also died, as his own actor did prior to further continuity. |
| 523 | * Other members of the Pantheon also relate to Doc's death situation. Adam West ([[WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy Mayor of Quahog]]) remembers the time when he died and how it coincided when the real-life Adam West died as well. Similarly, Leia Organa's sudden demise during [[Film/TheRiseOfSkywalker The Resistance's final stand against Palpatine]] came some time after Carrie Fisher's passing. The three also have a tenancy to swap stories about their lives. Stan Lee, a fellow LivingLegend in his own right, also joined this group, [[Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse sharing his own stories of how he kept getting mixed up in all these life-threatening situations]]. |
| 524 | * When [[Pantheon/MediaPresentation Big Bird]] learned there was a new Deity representing characters who died with their actors, he became curious and went to check out the situation. To his disappointment, it was not Mr. Hooper. However, this race car's demeanor did remind him of his old friend. And thus, a new friendship was born from this situation. |
| 525 | * While Lightning loosened Doc to some of the younger folk, he still finds some of the more hotheaded individuals to be annoying. This is especially true of Sonic the Hedgehog. In combination with his speed and cocky attitude, the old car was once again reminded of his reckless days, as well as some of what [=McQueen=] used to be back in the day. He doesn't outright hate him, since Sonic's heart at least seems to be in the right place, which couldn't be said about Lightning when he first met him, but he does still find his demeanor to be irritating occasionally. |
| 526 | * Doc Hudson has some choice words when it comes to Nitros Oxide. Above all else, he isn’t a fan of how he turned a fun sport such as racing into a life-and-death scenario, threatening to blow up the planet if someone doesn't beat him at a race. Not only that, but he doesn't even have the courtesy to play fair, and instead opts to jump the gun. A veteran racer such as Doc has seen his fair share of cheaters, not to mention the stuff Chick Hicks pulled. He's nonetheless glad when he heard the Crash Bandicoot deities took care of that situation. |
| 527 | ** Cheating in general is a major turn-off for Doc. It is for this reason he also has issues with both The Monstars and Bandit Keith. The former's resorting to taking legendary professional's abilities earned their spot on his dislike list. As for the latter, his impulsive cheating and inability to accept defeat are what pushed him over the edge. At the very least, he did lose despite his dishonesty. |
| 528 | * Lightning [=McQueen=] warned his mentor to be careful around Arnie and Christine. He mentioned how he already tried to talk him out of his life choice to little avail, and feels that Doc, given his successful past, wouldn’t be much help to him either. Doc was also concerned when he heard that Christine intentionally ran over people in its way and how it made Arnie more aggressive as a result and is a shared enemy with Lightning as a result. |
| 529 | * |
| 530 | * Doc was honored to meet another racing legend: Richard Petty. The two quickly got along well for their shared interest of racing, especially of the NASCAR variety. The two are considering an exhibition race at an undetermined time in the future. Tickets to this occasion are already selling out as racing fans the Pantheon over await this one-on-one duel between two defining figures in the world of motorized competition. |
| 531 | ** Other racers are free to join in competitions with him as well, including his old pupil. However, some racers are barred from joining such competitions. The Racing Drones, known for their aggressive driving and determination to finish races no matter what, have been auto banned from such competitions. The aforementioned Oxide fits this category as well for reasons already stated. For those who are allowed, nothing but praise has been given for the opportunity to race against such a legendary racer. |

| 550 | * At first glance, Lillie may seem like your average girl. She kept to herself, assisted Professor Kukui with his research, and showed no particular interest in Pokémon battling. But when one gets to know her more, then a fuller picture begins to unfold. Lillie is the daughter of Aether Foundation President Lusamine, who had become obsessed with the inter-dimensional creatures known as the Ultra Beasts, and desired to be with them, neglecting and even abusing her own children. After rescuing a Legendary Pokémon called Cosmog - who she later nicknamed Nebby - Lillie fled Aether Paradise, but would later end up aiding two young trainers on their Island Trial challenge. Through this, she began to change. She became more outgoing, bold, willing to take on obstacles and overcome them. This was reflected in her clothing as well, ditching the large hat and skirt (which made her look like a jellyfish) in favour of her "Z-Powered" form. Eventually, she and her friends confronted Lusamine in the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mBdvK3BYYLc Ultra Deep Sea]], and with Nebby's help, defeated and freed her mother from its grasp. After the trainers became champion, Lillie gave them a heartfelt farewell, telling them she would be going to Kanto to help in her mother's recovery... |
| 551 | ** Lillie travelled to Cerulean City, to speak with the famous Pokémon researcher [[https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Bill Bill]], who himself merged with a Pokémon long ago. He offered his assistance but warned it would take some time and encouraged her to stay and help with his research. A week passed and while some progress was made there was still little sign of Lusamine making a full recovery. Then one day, after meeting and befriending the local gym leader, Misty, Lillie returned to the Sea Cottage to discover it empty. On Bill's table were two items. A Pokéball, containing an Alolan Vulpix, and a note explaining she had been "chosen". A gateway opened up at the back of the house, ethereal light pouring out of it. Lillie was hesitant, but she entered through regardless. What greeted her on the other side caught her completely by surprise. There, standing before her very eyes, was her mother, as well as her older brother Gladion. She had countless questions to ask... but the only thing she could say was... "Mother... I missed you." The family shared a group hug, finally reunited in the strange world known simply... as the Pantheon. |
| 552 | * When first met, Lillie was seen wearing a distinctive white sundress and hat; an outfit that reflected her mother's obsession with the Ultra Beast, Nihilego. Wanting to grow as a person, be independent of her mother's toxic behaviour and make decisions for herself, Lillie cast aside these 'shackles' and donned her "Z Powered Form"; a white sailor-like shirt and a short white miniskirt with blue light blue highlights. It's the appearance Lillie is often seen wearing while in the Pantheon, and the attire she's most comfortable with. |
| 553 | * Her temple leads to [[https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Aether_Paradise Aether Paradise]], an artificial island situated in the middle of the Alola region, and the Aether Foundation's main HQ. It is a state-of-the-art facility dedicated to Pokémon conservation and research, complete with a nature reserve and laboratories. It was Lillie's original home before running away with Nebby, but ever since her adventures, she comes back to aid Gladion in maintaining the Aether Foundation. Much work had to be done to restore the Foundation's reputation and both are busier than ever keeping a tab on any Ultra Wormholes emerging in the Pantheon. That being said, they don't want to open the Secret Labs to the public. |
| 554 | * While at first, she didn't think that much about Pokémon battles, Lillie's opinion has changed after her adventures with her friends and as a result, she decided to become a Pokémon trainer herself. She made her first step toward that goal with Snowy, and in the Pantheon, she obtained several Fairy-Types, including Clefairy, Ribombee, Comfey and a [[OlympusMons unique Magearna]] her father had intended for her. These Pokémon primarily serve as support, but Lillie is still willing to learn and remains as confident as ever, especially with all the other Pokémon trainers residing in the Pantheon. |
| 555 | ** Surprisingly for a rookie trainer, Lillie always comes prepared with plenty of repels and potions that she usually gave to her dear friends back home. She still does this in the pantheon as she would give out supplies to anybody who encounters her. |
| 556 | * At first, Ash Ketchum was happy to learn of Lillie's ascension, having gone to school with her back in Alola. But when the two met in the Pantheon, Lillie initially didn't recognize him. She only began remembering her time together after a few days of conversing and as a result, she also recalled [[Manga/PokemonAdventures another timeline]] where she aided two Pokédex holders on their adventures. Every now and then, Lillie and Ash will be called upon along with their classmates as [[https://i.pinimg.com/originals/93/ba/92/93ba9260bc25b7c1de9965672fe9a1e8.jpg Ultra Guardians]], tasked with roping in Ultra Beasts, Angels and other alien beings who often wander into the Pantheon. With Altaria by her side, Lillie has got it covered. |
| 557 | * Due to her complicated and problematic experiences regarding her mother and brother, Lillie happens to be a well-known topic for the House of Family. There was a time in which the Heroic Protectors of Family condemned Lusamine for her abusive and neglectful attitude towards her children, but so far, Lusamine has shown signs of becoming a better person and parent. At the same time, they also came to respect Lillie for her resolve and becoming braver as time went by. She's personally grateful for the condolences and admiration the House of Family had given her and they're always welcome to invite her for a stay. |
| 558 | * The Child Abuse Supporters, in contrast to their Heroic Protectors counterparts, felt that Lillie and Gladion's abuse was "adequate enough," and have even tried to convince Lusamine to join their ranks. Thankfully, the kids have kept their mother out of the organization's reach. Lillie in particular opposes Lady Tremaine and Fire Lord Ozai due to their cruel treatment of their own children - Cinderella, Zuko and Azula respectively. Cinderella and Zuko have sympathized with the young trainer and often stop by Aether Paradise to help the Foundation in whatever way they can, but Azula did not appreciate the pity. She made sure Lillie kept well and truly away from her... with a little lightning to boot. |
| 559 | ** Lillie gets along well with other individuals who also had to deal with neglectful and abusive parents. Rapunzel, Fate Testarossa-Harlaown and Maisie Faranage became close to Lillie, the three often discussing their past experiences with their family - Rapunzel and Fate more so while Maisie isn't around. Lillie was saddened to learn of their relationships with their mother figures; Gothel and Precia Testarossa respectively and was happy that both were able to get out of it and start a new life. The same can be said for Adora and Catra, who were also physically and emotionally abused by Shadow Weaver. The pair assist Lillie when they can, using their skills to ward off any wayward Ultra Beasts and, on one occasion, fighting off Morathi when she came to invade. |
| 560 | * On the subject of parents, her initial acknowledgement towards Darth Vader came off as Lillie seeing her mother, only a tad bit more wrathful and physically aggressive. To Vader's credit, he wasn't ''exactly'' abusive in a sense; he only realized the revelation of Luke and Leia's survival much later in his life and instead wanted to have his children join him in ruling the galaxy. It's a great and heartwarming thought... had it not been for the fact that Vader was a feared Sith Lord who was reviled by nearly everyone in the galaxy. That said, his repressed familial affection for Luke was what redeemed him. Personally, Lillie is hesitant to approach the former Dark Lord but is happy to see him at least trying to be the good man he used to be. Vader himself accept's Lillie's acknowledgement for him, but understands why she keeps a good distance from him. |
| 561 | ** She has come to pity both the Blitzball legend Jecht, due to his fractured relationship with his son, Tidus, and the Phoenix King Malekith, who truly loved his family despite his dark intentions. Jecht didn't appreciate the pity but he agrees that he messed up, explaining how he was never good at expressing the love he has for his son. Malekith on the other hand respected the girl's concerns... but threatened to take over her world along with all other worlds. |
| 562 | * One day, a young boy was seen aimlessly wandering through Aether Paradise. Lillie and Gladion met with this third child, Shinji Ikari, and after getting to know him more offered him a place to stay in Alola and their support. Why you may ask? Because they learned of Shinji's estranged relationship with his father, NERV Commander Gendo Ikari, the Evangelion program and the war with the Angels; all of which shocked and terrified the Alolan children. Ever since learning this, Lillie and Shinji keep in touch and often get together to chat and share their own adventures. |
| 563 | ** The Ultra Beasts weren't the only thing to worry about. Arael, an angel NERV had fought in the past, arrived in the Pantheon and subjected Lillie to a horrible [[MindRape flashback]], where a [[https://daily.pokecommunity.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/br.png Nihilego]] attacked her and resulted in her being scared of touching Pokémon. She was saved not only by Shinji but Hibiki Tachibana of the 2nd Division Symphogears. They were able to fend off the Angel before Nebby dealt the finishing blow. Ever since that incident, Lillie has kept a close eye on the Angels, hoping that no more will arrive in the Pantheon. |
| 564 | * In [[VideoGame/PokemonUltraSunAndUltraMoon another timeline]] where Lusamine was not corrupted by Nihilego, Aether Paradise was taken over by Team Rainbow Rocket, forcing Lillie, her friends, and even Team Skull leader Guzma to storm their castle, defeat the grunts and evil leaders inside and restore the facility to its original form. At one point, she was [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l-JkWHiQLKc held hostage]] by Team Plasma leader Ghetsis, who threatened her life before being saved by Colress. When Lillie got word of the group's reformation in the Pantheon, she wasn't happy in the slightest but was only thankful that Maxie, Archie and Cyrus are no longer part of it. That said, she has to contend with Ghetsis once more, and even a bounty hunter known simply as J, who tried to steal Lillie's Magearna on a few occasions. |
| 565 | ** Lillie still has a little difficulty working with Guzma due to his involvement with Lusamine's original plan. But he's making good on becoming a better person and from what fellow Alolan trainers Olivia and Mina have told her, progress is being made. For that, Lillie can respect that. |
| 566 | * Asami Sato, Chief Executive Officer of Future Industries, met with Lillie and Gladion following Team Rainbow Rocket's attack, expressing interest in the Aether Foundation's technological advances and wishing to set up a business deal with them. As talks went down, Lillie learned of how Asami's own estranged relationship with her father, Hiroshi, after she learned he supported the Equalist movement. She was happy at least the Sato's were able to patch things up and soon the two became good friends. Asami will come to visit from time to time, and in return, the Aether Foundation has even provided aid to Republic City. |
| 567 | * One time, Lillie and Ash were busy with their Ultra Guardian duties when they encountered two beings quite unlike any Ultra Beast they had ever seen. One was a white-clad woman with bright, rainbow-coloured hair and a sadistic look on her face. The other was a man dressed in violet clothing, a gold masquerade mask, and accompanied by a metallic magenta-coloured humanoid being. These two individuals, Ragyō Kiryūin and Relius Clover wiped the floor with the Pokémon trainers, using the Life Fibers and Detonator: Ignis to their full effect. They would have killed the children had it not been for some unexpected help. A young boy with his own battle doll and two young sword wielders; one dressed in red and black, the other in white and blue. Working together, the group was able to repel the two intruders and drive them away from Aether Paradise. The strangers introduced themselves properly afterwards. The boy was Relius' son, Carl - the battle doll his sister, Ada, while the young women revealed themselves to be Ragyō's daughters; Ryūko Matoi and Satsuki Kiryūin. They explained how Ragyō and Relius were devising a means of opening new Ultra Wormholes and unleashing the Ultra Beasts upon the worlds, offering their assistance to the Aether Foundation. Lillie accepted and welcomed them all in, with Aether's scientists working to understand the Life Fibers and aiding Carl in restoring his sister back to normal. |
| 568 | * Despite Lusamine's recovery, Lillie has special arrangements in the House of Pantheon/HealthAndDiseases to treat her mother of any residual Nihilego poison left in her system. While there, she met a young man named Coco, who just so happened to have an immunity to poisons. The Heavenly King offered his help in trying to assist Lusamine, which Lillie greatly appreciates. |
| 569 | * Lillie was ecstatic to learn that Nebby had found its way into the Pantheon and was quick to see it, giving the Pokémon a big hug when they reunited. She noted how it was able to change between Solgaleo, Lunala and its standard Cosmog form, and will sometimes team up with it whenever Nebby is in a pinch, especially with Necrozma roaming about the Pantheon too. She was surprised to see the Tapus in the Pantheon as well and was just as happy to learn they are well protected too. |
| 570 | ** Lillie's attempts to keep Nebby in her bag, and failing at it, is well known amongst the people. It's become a popular pastime to parody her trying to put Nebby in a bag, especially after it [[https://pm1.narvii.com/6469/eaa531ab46cdd12821a1eee7110c1dba3306dbee_hq.jpg evolved]] into Solgaleo/Lunala. |
| 571 | *** Related to this, some are perplexed that she was able to carry Nebby's evolved form, Cosmoem in her bag despite it weighing over a thousand pounds. Of course, given that it floats, she's probably not doing much of the carrying, but it's still a hilarious thing to note. |
| 572 | * Can also be found in Pantheon/ClothingTheme. |

| 590 | * Opposes: Nerds (mostly [[PunchClockVillain just as a bully]]) |
| 591 | * Opposed by: [[Pantheon/{{Teachers}} Seymour Skinner, Edna Krabappel]] (somewhat) |
| 592 | * Nelson Mandela Muntz is the local bully of Springfield Elementary, and a sometimes foe, sometimes friend of Bart Simpson. Initially, he appeared as a straight, vicious BarbaricBully, but over time has become less of a threat. Though [[Administrivia/TropesAreTools it also led him to becoming more three-dimensional as a character]], so it's not like it was a bad thing. |
| 593 | * How he feels about Bart changes depending on his mood, either punching him or hanging out with him. [[IJustWantToHaveFriends Since deep down he wants company]], [[GoKartingWithBowser sometimes he'll do both]]. In the House of Pantheon/{{School}} Nelson has declared himself as "the bully instructor", teaching the young scoundrels and ne'er do wells on how to be school bullies and troublemakers. |
| 594 | * Whenever misfortune or some sort of embarrassment happens in the pantheon, expect to hear a "[[AnnoyingLaugh haw-haw!]]" from him. Mandark heard this and decided to tell Nelson off [[HypocriticalHumor for having an annoying laugh]]. This eventually led to the two quarreling and eventually get into a fight, with Nelson won. However he is loathe to admit he only achieved it with [[Pantheon/SchoolActivities Dexter's help]], [[BerserkButton and will beat up anyone who says he needed his help]]. |
| 595 | * Usually causes trouble to the various teachers in the pantheon, but that's mainly just him doing what comes natural to troublemakers. Dolores Umbridge and Agatha Trunchbull straight up despised Nelson instead of being aggravated by him, and attempted to use their quill, chokey and other sadistic disciplinarian methods. Nelson was traumatized, and in a rare occurrence [[EnemyMine he, the Springfield teachers and Bart ALL teamed up to stop them]]. |
| 596 | * [[Recap/FamilyGuyS13E1TheSimpsonsGuy The Griffin family once crossed over with Springfield]], and it did not go well. It led to Stewie forcing Nelson to eat shorts, and the two have remained enemies ever since. Eric Cartman thought he could get Nelson on his side, [[EvenEvilHasStandards but Nelson soon found him to be a psychopath]]. [[Recap/SouthParkS10E4CartoonWarsPartTwo Something Bart is unfortunately acquainted with]]. |
| 597 | * Sure he's a bully, [[EvenEvilHasStandards but he has standards]]. For start, he WouldntHitAGirl. That, and it's difficult for bullies to emotionally deal with girls. As such, he has difficulty dealing with Biff Tannen. Oh sure, he's one of the classic bullies, but the AttemptedRape of Lorraine is a MoralEventHorizon and could only work with him(and even then he won't get along) if Biff promises never to try that again. Biff(not the BadFuture one obviously) did so, mainly because he doesn't want an even worse punch by [[Pantheon/HeroicActions George McFly]]. |
| 598 | * While him and Biff may have their differences, they share a mutual disgust at Gregor Clegane. Simply put, calling Gregor TheBully is both a massive understatement [[InsultToRocks and insult to bullies]]. Being the blunt psychopath he is, Gregor doesn't care what they think and is just as willing to dash Nelson's skull as he is [[WouldHurtAChild an infant]]. |
| 599 | * Feels more comfortable with Bulk and Skull, and Draco Malfoy. This is because like him they're bullies(less so with Bulk and Skull) that have softened up and become better people over time. Though in Nelson's case, he is still trying to keep up appearance which annoys them a little bit. Nelson has a tenser relationship with Libby Chessler, as while they are on the same level of bullies he doesn't work well with girls. |
| 600 | * [[HiddenDepths Apparently he is a fan of Andy Williams and gentlemanly to women]]. He also has some desire to escape his low social status. Sometimes converses with Flash Thompson as he was a bully who idolized Spider-man who eventually mature, became one of Peter/Spider-man's greatest allies and became a hero on his own right. |
| 601 | * One of his most prized possessions is [[https://static.simpsonswiki.com/images/3/36/Nelson_and_Snow_White.png a picture of himself with "Snow White"]] and gets very upset whenever it's pointed out that she is just a actress playing a role. But when he learned that the ''real'' Snow White was in the Pantheon, he immediately rushed to see her. The dwarves were hesitant at first to let the boy see her, but Snow White thought it was a sweet gesture and took a photo with him. It was one of the happiest days in Nelson's life. |

| 617 | * The original DamselInDistress, Pauline was Mario's original girlfriend, being kidnapped by the original Donkey Kong whom Mario, formerly known as a carpenter by the name of Jumpman at the time, had to rescue. However, after this game, she disappeared from the cast and broke up with Mario by the time he went to the Mushroom Kingdom. She would be gone up until Mario and Donkey Kong would square off with each other where she was his guest of honor, only to end up getting kidnapped by Donkey Kong again, being infatuated with her. While she still continued to appear in this spin-off series, it would take till [[VideoGame/SuperMarioOdyssey Mario's worldwide outing]] where she would be revealed to be the mayor of New Donk City, using her experiences being kidnapped to help the city. And with her [[VideoGame/MarioTennisAces joining Mario for tennis]], she has managed to finally return to the main series, earning her a spot in the Pantheon. |
| 618 | * The ascension itself went pretty smoothly, with her performing in the House of Pantheon/{{Musicality}} after they heard how great her singing was when Mario brought her up to perform for Cappy's ascension. However, as he did before, Donkey Kong ended up crashing the party to kidnap her, causing Mario and Cappy to hop in pursuit all across the Pantheon to chase after him. By the end of his adventure, he found the two within Donkey Kong's temple in the House of Pantheon/{{Weapons}}, or more specifically, its Hall of Pantheon/UnconventionalWeaponry. |
| 619 | ** When he caught up, the two were actually having a smaller party to celebrate Pauline's ascension with the other Kong's coming together to celebrate. [[GoodVersusGood Turns out that, like before, Pauline had contacted Donkey Kong before and the two planned for that happen, with Donkey Kong's "kidnapping" actually being him giving her the grand tour of the Pantheon, ending with the party. They also planned on Mario and Cappy chasing after them to give them both their own seat at the party]]. Mario chuckled and rubbed his head bashfully, commenting on how he seems to keep falling for that before enjoying the party with Cappy, even clearing everything up when he got out. |
| 620 | * Let the records show that, no, [[WebVideo/GameTheory she is not dating Mario now despite being his guest of honor at a toy factory and having a Mini toy modeled after her]]. [[FailedASpotCheck Besides, Peach also had one.]] Despite this, this isn't stopping the fans from showing support for Mario to get back together with her. On their end, Mario and Pauline do their best to just ignore them. |
| 621 | ** Glitchy's Mario seems to believe that [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZUKXHJ18fCA Donkey Kong and Pauline are actually in a relationship]]. While Donkey Kong has no problems with this, Pauline just chuckles bashfully before reassuring that they are just very good friends. [[Pantheon/{{Gaming}} Sonic]] seems to be in support of this idea to not make the two romantic with each other [[VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehog2006 for reasons he can't remember]]. She also tends to ignore this weird version of Mario after hearing from the real Mario how...[[IdiotBall dumb]] his alternative self can act at times. |
| 622 | *** While she isn't romantically interested in him, she is still great friends with him and will more than happy call on him if there is some sort of task that needs brute force, [[https://youtu.be/oYQaj94eIXQ?t=173 like when Wario tried to hit on her in an attempt to get some money out of her]]. |
| 623 | * She was able to become more acquainted with the Kongs now thanks to her being in the Pantheon, becoming fast friends with the other Kongs, namely, Diddy, Donkey Kong Jr., and Cranky Kong. Of course, she also had to face the [[FridgeLogic confusing timeline of Cranky Kong being the original Kong that kidnapped her first, his son more or less kidnapping her for fun/old times sakes, and Donkey Kong Jr. being either the son or grandson of Cranky Kong]]. While she was able to understand Cranky and Donkey Kong's role, even letting the water go under the bridge with Cranky Kong, Donkey Kong Jr. still is causing her trouble, but not that she's an isolated incident. Even the most hardcore of Nintendo fans have trouble debating where he goes on the Kong's family tree. |
| 624 | * Through Peach did she meet up with the other princesses, Daisy and Rosalina, both of which became fast friends with Pauline. Although, Daisy was more than excited to gloat about how she managed to get into [[VideoGame/SuperSmashBrosUltimate Smash Brothers]] before her. [[MemeticLoser Given her reputation before that]], Pauline's more than willing to let her have her fun. |
| 625 | ** Speaking of Smash, like many others, she did end up becoming a spirit the fighters had to overcome, [[ThatOneLevel and was soon announced to be one of, if not, THE hardest fight they had to endure]]. She gets along with the other well known difficult spirit fight in the form of 9-volt and 18-volt, who are ecstatic to have her within the Pantheon. Thanks to dealing with Donkey Kong, she is more than ready with putting up with their more LoonyFan antics, and is even interested in using their music prowess should a need arise. |
| 626 | * [[https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-eF7wbeyEufk/U9_GPwcOVSI/AAAAAAAAS-M/DMLR6DnbmsM/s1600/donkey-kong-arcade-cabinet-art-pauline.png Due to her original look]] [[{{Expy}} closely resembling someone the original King Kong kidnapped after she showed him kindness and doubly so thanks to the blonde hair]], Pauline found herself being kidnapped by none other than King Kong himself mistaking her for Ann Darrow one day while trying out her out style again. Ironically, [[SwappedRoles Donkey Kong would have to go and rescue her for once]], having to climb all the way to the top of King Kong's temple and try to convince him that Pauline wasn't the same girl he knew. Eventually, he was able to be convinced to let her go before the aircraft could attack them, [[JustHereForGodzilla much to the disappointment of onlookers]]. While Pauline does recognize that King Kong isn't malicious, she still feels him to be a bit wild for her liking and has since permanently retired her old look just for safety precautions. |
| 627 | * Due to the both of them being mayors of a city, Pauline has become fast friends with Snow White of Fables fame, alongside her romantic partner Bigby Wolf. The two of them hope to make good deals that benefit both of their cities in the future. |
| 628 | ** Something worth noting is that she has clear unanimous support from her people for her being the mayor of New Donk City. Of course, this led to her being enemies with the holder of the inverse of this, Dr. Weil, who seems to just shrug it off [[HateSink as business when dealing with other people as usual]]. |
| 629 | * She is more than happy to set some time to sing in the House of Pantheon/{{Musicality}}, with Donkey Kong and Mario sometimes acting like bodyguards for her. |
| 630 | * While she does appreciate Cody Travers doing his best to prove himself to be a worthy successor of Mike Haggar and turning his life around, Pauline still would like to do as little business as possible due to just how extreme these methods can get. She does, however, show appreciation for Haggar himself, who insists that Cody is a good successor and still believes in him. |

| 648 | * Sarah Jane Smith is one of the most well-known companions of the Doctor by her aunt after her parents died while she was a baby, she was working as a journalist when she met the 3rd Doctor, one of a handful to stay with him through regenerations, and decades later after he left(centuries for him) met up while investigating a Krillitane plot. Of his many companions, their relationship was one of the closest. |
| 649 | * Introduced as a tough feminist career girl who proved to have a hot temper. However her dynamic with the 4th Doctor saw her undergo {{Chickification}} and played more of an ImpliedLoveInterest role for the younger-looking new Doctor. She returned to some of her old characterization as TheLancer when Harry left. The House of Pantheon/LoveAndAffection still likes to ship them. [[AllMenArePerverts Some of the men involved]] were disappointed that her and Rose's comparing notes didn't lead to a catfight. |
| 650 | * Unfortunately, Sarah Jane Smith would pass away at least around or some time before 2023. Her friends and family would grieve, especially the Doctor who would be multiple generations in by the last time they met. Thanks to how time works, Sarah Jane Smith is alive in the Pantheon with unawareness towards the date of her passing. |
| 651 | * Sometimes talks over her implied feelings with the Doctor with Ben and Gwen Tennyson, given the case of PlatonicWritingRomanticReading between them. Though they would rather not talk about [[IncestSubtext their own]]. They do like to talk about the various alien encounters and adventures they've had. Sarah has gotten to know Professor Paradox through them, who she's come to like [[DoctorWhomage because he reminds her of the Doctor]]. She's fond of Bladewolf as well, being a robotic dog like her K-9. |
| 652 | * Takes a lot after Lois Lane. A snarky eager reporter with ShipTease towards an alien and who's GoingForTheBigScoop will do that, and the two have been exchanging exciting stories with one another about their alien encounters. Sarah found herself getting along with Jade and Jane Marple due to their journalist/reporter roles and passionate personality. Clark Kent and the Doctor really like watching Lois and Sarah getting along. |
| 653 | * Has nothing but contempt for Louis Bloom and his employer Diane Christensen. He's a journalist who strives for money by using crime scenes and lacks empathy, and he works for Diane who is driven to get ratings for her network. They're antithetical to Sarah's values as a reporter. |
| 654 | * Gets along with Watson as well, given she often has a Watson role with the Doctor, as his companions generally do. Sarah is friendly with both Doc Brown and Marty [=McFly=], who remind her of the Doctor and companions like herself. Lilo and Stitch get along with her as well. |
| 655 | * She wasn't happy to see many of the aliens and monsters she and the Doctor faced off against, particularly the Master and Davros. Davros, who remembered him from the very beginning of the Daleks, felt it was meant to be. Asides from them she doesn't like Mesogog because of his plan to replace humanity with dinosaurs. [[Recap/DoctorWhoS11E2InvasionOfTheDinosaurs She's had to deal with this kind of plot before]]. |
| 656 | * Zim is paranoid that Sarah's investigation and knowledge of alien life will lead her to expose him to the human authorities. While she doesn't want him to succeed, [[IneffectualSympatheticVillain neither she nor the Doctor need to do much]]. She thinks his "[[PaperThinDisguise disguise]]" is half-assed, just to start with. Zim doesn't think she has room to talk when she wore that [[RummageSaleReject Andy Pandy outfit]] in [[Recap/DoctorWhoS14E2TheHandOfFear "The Hand of Fear"]]. |
| 657 | * The one old enemy she did not want to meet in the pantheon was Sutekh the Destroyer, [[PhysicalGod and for very]] [[OmnicidalManiac good reason]]. Sutekh's hatred is directed more at the Doctor, but he proves no less terrifying. She didn't want to be anywhere near the actual desert god Set, though [[EvilVersusOblivion he opposes Sutekh as well]] and has stated that Apophis is more like the Osirian than he. Ra has come to the defense of both Sarah and the Doctor, finding Sutekh as foul as Apophis. |
| 658 | * Despite a number of evil aliens, Sarah has met her fair share of good aliens and generally tries to befriend them. Mainly its a vaguely similar body shape to the Alpha Centauri delegate, but she was fond of the Blorg Community member who came to meet her. She's helped protect E.T from the authorities as well. |
| 659 | * Doesn't have any biological children, but is a great adoptive mother to the alien-originating Luke and Sky Smith. [[MamaBear And may God have mercy if you try to hurt them]]. As Yui is an artificial child that was HappilyAdopted, like her kids, she's fond of her. She can relate with Toriel due to her motherly instincts and adoptions. |

| 674 | * Admired by: [[Pantheon/IntrovertFlaws Piglet]] |
| 675 | * If someone from 20 years ago would say that Vir Cotto would be among the most revered bureaucrats in the Pantheon, they would have been laughed out of the building. And with good reason; Cotto was introduced as a PluckyComicRelief to the heroes. He was even compared to Flounder. Yet with time, he received one of the most prolific CharacterDevelopment in the Pantheon. By the time his story ended, he has taken the throne for himself, free of any outside influence. Sure he had help from the many gods from his world residing beside him, but much of it was his doing. Not bad for a person who got the job ''by accident''. John Sheridan felt obliged to bring him over to the Pantheon as thanks. |
| 676 | * Received a hero's welcome from those of his friends that arrived before him. He was particularly happy to see Sheridan and Sinclair again after their disappearances in his world. They were glad to hear that Cotto's reign has been going smoothly. With that said, they are all wary in the event that the Shadows make their way into the Pantheon. |
| 677 | * To be fair, Tyrion didn't think much of Vir Cotto. Then again, most people overlook the dwarf that has kept the Lannisters intact for most of his life. When he did meet Cotto, he was surprised at his composure as king. Tyrion offered a drink and the two fell into a deep conversation about including how he even got the job in the first place. |
| 678 | ** It does help that Vir Cotto handed his father the bureaucratic equivalent of the middle finger. While Tywin is the God of Effective Bureaucrats, he has a tendency of removing those who do not agree to his methods. Those who don't are forced to work with Leslie Knope, who while a good bureaucrat on her own [[BeleagueredBureaucrat has too many problems for her to be ranked higher]]. Cotto responded by allowing a large chuck of Tywin's begrudged followers to coalesce around him. Tywin saw this as an affront to his authority, and the two have been battling to win over recruits. |
| 679 | * Early on, Vir Cotto has struggled to justify the actions of his morally ambiguous king Londo Mollari. He has more than often tried to steer them towards more morally tenable acts. It has certainly made him a MoralityPet in their journeys, something Amy Rose is all too familiar with. Amy has proven that such characters [[GoodIsNotSoft aren't spineless wimps]], capable of slamming people with her hammer if need be. She's grateful to see another of her kind in the Pantheon. |
| 680 | ** One can also call him TheConscience to his group. Jiminy Cricket was initially unimpressed, as Londo hardly ever listened to him. But as time went on, the God of Consciences appreciated how Cotto handled the situation in the end. |
| 681 | * While Cotto lays claim to much of their rank, most cowards secretly hope to grow out of their shell and become better people. To Piglet, this would mean a likely loss of rank. Yet he is fine with those who are able to overcome their fear. |
| 682 | ** That is not the case for Lord Djibril. He holds a bit of jealousy for those who leave his temple after becoming more than {{Dirty Coward}}s. He even tried to cause a diplomatic row by starting a dispute between the Emperor of Mankind and the House of Pantheon/{{Extraterrestrials}}. Not only did Vir Cotto managed to smooth things out between the two factions, he even traced the cause back to Lord Djibril. The head of LOGOS responded by strangling the man, but enough heroes came to his aid to scare him off. |
| 683 | * Is not a fan of Ron Swanson's role of [[ObstructiveBureaucrat ObstructiveBureacracy]], preventing more effective bureaucrats from doing their jobs. With that said, he does see some use to this when it comes to sabotaging more corrupt governments. |
| 684 | * Was displeased to see that the Vogons have managed to gain a seat in the Pantheon. Not just because [[SuckinessIsPainful their poem reading is awful]], but they are among the most annoying to deal with in terms of diplomacy. |
| 685 | * Even worse than the last two are the pixies. He knew that H.P. was responsible for corrupting the Centauri Republic to the Shadows. The only way to rectify that was to purge the entire council, including the former king Londo. As the new ruler, he swore never to let their corruption take a hold on his kingdom. The Head Pixie responded with a shrug of indifference. To them, it was a world that they carelessly neglected. Then again, they never expected someone like Cotto would be able to great their hold. |

| 705 | * Pacifica Northwest was initially what she obviously was: a [[RichBitch snobby rich gal]] who uses her ancestry from the supposed founder of Gravity Falls, Nathaniel Northwest so that she can get what she wants and is the designated rival to Mabel Pines, being there against her when Mabel wanted to have fun. And she remained that way until when [[Recap/GravityFallsS2E3TheGolfWar Dipper and Mabel dueled against her in mini-golf]] with the help of the Liliputtians who tried to straight up kill her until the twins changed their mind and saved her. After the disastrous duel and learning how to share when grabbing tacos, Pacifica finally admitted she had fun even if it turned out bad. |
| 706 | ** Later, [[Recap/GravityFallsS2E10NorthwestMansionMystery when the ghost of a lumberjack haunts a party her parents threw for the rich people of Gravity Falls]], Pacifica's rough childhood was revealed: she was once a child much like Mabel until her parents Preston and Priscilla [[BehavioralConditioning put her under Pavlovian conditioning in order to keep her from disobeying]] [[TrophyChild and maintain the family image]], regardless if it was built on lies. As the ghost punished everyone at the party by slowly turning them into wood, Pacifica ultimately defies her parents' conditioning and pulled the lever to the gate to let the common folk of Gravity Falls in, finally convincing the ghost that she had upheld her ancestors' promise to them as he leaves the mortal realm. When Weirdmageddon happened, Pacifica joined the Resistance against Bill Cypher and contributed in Ford Pines' plan against him; despite it not working and resulting in her capture, she is freed once Bill is defeated. After Weirdmageddon was averted, the Northwest family wealth was lost and Pacifica and her parents must live elsewhere, but even if she could only keep one pony she had finally seen the Pines twins as friends, not enemies as they left the town. |
| 707 | * As they're surrounded by mostly people older than them, Dipper and Mabel decided it's time to help ascend a friend their age; sure, there's Candy and Grenda as Heralds but Dipper wants a friend that he and Mabel can hang out together and he's definitely not looking to endure another sleepover from them. The twins propose to the Pantheon/CourtOfTheGods that Pacifica had come a long way since being a bully to Mabel, as the incident in Northwest Mansion proves that she is better than her entire family and that she's in better behaviour, even downplaying her haughty act after Weirdmageddon. The Court evaluated their reasoning and decided she was worthy of her change; Pacifica Northwest is now the '''Goddess of [[ReformedBully Reformed Bullies]]'''. When she first arrived here through a limousine asking her and her parents to this place called "the Trope Pantheons", she had a little exchange with the twins and it's clear she's delighted to see them again. |
| 708 | --> '''Pacifica:''' You dweebs better not be setting me up for a prank... |
| 709 | --> (''pause'') |
| 710 | --> '''Pacifica:''' Just kidding! Hey, you guys! Now... what is this place? |
| 711 | ** When told she can have those closest to her as Heralds, Pacifica was hesitant at first but ultimately decided to make her parents Preston and Priscilla as the Heralds. Due to what they have done to her and her mental health, Preston and Priscilla are forbidden to ring their bell towards her as she deserves to be herself away from their upbringing; while Priscilla slowly accepts submissively, Preston was reluctant due to habits but ultimately accepts the limitation. Nowadays, you do see the parents and child together but not always because of the upbringing. Pacifica still find them to be horrible, but they're still her parents and they will come around whether they'll like it or not. |
| 712 | * As noted, she's finally friends with Dipper and Mabel even after their previous clashes before their disastrous mini golf game and Pacifica finally worked up the courage to declare them as such despite coming back to her haughty demeanour. Some deities and mortals think that she is attracted to one twin or the other and vice versa and in response while tired of pointless and even alarming discourse, the three kids have merely stated the words of their trollish creator, Creator/AlexHirsch: "''We're 12-year-olds. We shouldn't focus on romance, we should focus on pop tarts and Pokémon.''" As for their Grunkle Stan, he thinks it's overkill she puts on too much makeup for a young girl but she still insist that it is fitting for a rich girl like her; other than that, they're okay with each other and more so after Bill's Weirdmageddon. |
| 713 | ** Speak of the devil, Bill Cipher refuses to let her live down the fact that her father sell his fellow humans out for preservation... when he has nothing to offer to Bill who already achieved all he wanted to do during the incident; Pacifica refuses to let someone like Bill run free, even if her father is a scumbag and she's still powerless to stop him. Dipper and Mabel also warn her of [=.GIFfany=]'s threat which Pacifica accepts, only hearing about the news of the disaster she caused at the SuckECheeses and now she knows the program is behind it. |
| 714 | * One of the first deities besides those she knows to welcome her is Bruce Wayne AKA Batman. Bruce Wayne sympathized with her, feeling that her abused childhood was just as bad as his orphaned one so he ended up teaching her what it actually meant to hold that kind of financial power, and all the kindness and philanthropist actions that went with it; moved, Pacifica decided to keep them to heart should she be able to inherit her family's wealth all by herself when she's older. After she told him of her family’s horrible deeds, he decided that Batman would pay them a visit. Once there he attempted to find the evidence, only to discover it had been moved. He sternly confronted Preston and Priscilla in full costume (which scares the living daylights out of them), and told them the following. |
| 715 | --> '''Batman:''' [[TheReasonYouSuckSpeech You’re sick, painting all of your most horrible deeds like they were glorious victories, and treating your daughter like a dog. You drink and eat your spoils, confident that you hid that evidence well... but I’m going to find it. And when I do, you’ll be in jail faster than you can plead "innocent", and your fortune will belong to her. And there won’t be any deals that you can loophole or cheat around; it will be definite]]. |
| 716 | ** Safe to say, the abusive parents are now less likely to use the conditioning on Pacifica again, if not never again. Because if they do, Batman will be there to put them away for good in a jail possibly even worse than Arkham Asylum and no one, not even them would want that. |
| 717 | * There are others who sympathized a lot with Pacifica as well due to similar upbringings. Seto Kaiba [[PetTheDog in a rare display of kindness]] felt empathetic to her as well, having gone through an awful childhood because of his adoptive father [[Pantheon/VillainousRoles Gozaburo]] and he has told her that she is free to enter any of his parks without pay, making sure to let his employees of said parks know, something she's happy about and thought of inviting Dipper and Mabel to join her soon. Hearing of Batman’s plans to reveal her parent's nasty deeds, he has secretly planned ways to trick them out of their money and businesses and give them to Pacifica, just in case the Dark Knight isn’t successful. Zuko too, having an abusive father of his own and he admires that she was able to learn that her destiny was her own, and at a far younger age than he was. Being a child, she was already friends with Hayate even before they knew about each other and the experiences of ParentalNeglect they share simply helped them get along even faster; she's even glad that he's able to pay of the absurdly high amount of debt he was burdened with and she wishes she has that same amount of diligence in hard work which Hayate encourages to develop more. Miles Edgeworth surprisingly also got along with Pacifica, as both of them know the life with a parent abusing them using conditioning. Jin Kazama also offered her protection of the Heroic Protectors of Family who dedicate themselves to protecting defenseless children from dire threats, and she accepts. She does wish Jin would let go of his family's woes but he somberly says he can't because of the Devil Gene he was given from birth, which still makes him tied to his family anyway that'll strip him of any chance of a normal life, which saddens Pacifica. |
| 718 | --> '''Pacifica:''' Man, talk about a family superpower that you ''don't'' want... |
| 719 | ** Naruto and Hinata have taken quite a liking to her, and have invited her over many, many times to spend the day with them and their family. She’s often stated that they are the best days she’s had along the ones she spends with the twins, even when Naruto is swamped by work. Even Boruto is okay with her, as long as he doesn't get worked up by her haughty attitude. Though she hasn’t accepted any adoption requests, most of the Pantheon believes they are the likeliest candidates for a potential foster family should Preston and Priscilla became permanently unavailable. |
| 720 | ** Uncle Howee went off to do his usual bit, tricking her parents into a bet they couldn’t win, turning them into marionettes in the process. However, Pacifica herself came to ask him to turn them back, determined not to be as cruel as they were. Howee respected her request; though he does do puppet shows for her every now and the, giving her a bit of a childhood she never had. Being a proud father that loves his son, Bowser swore to make the Northwest family pay for what they did to Pacifica (if Batman and Kaiba fail in their own respective revenge schemes) and Bowser Jr. was suitably horrified as well, so he and Pacifica occasionally go on playdates with Jr. even letting her try out the Jr. Clown Car. |
| 721 | ** Of course, it's pretty obvious that she would hate other AbusiveParents who have no remorse in their actions against their children. She hates Manfred von Karma to be like her father Preston, only more worse and it doesn't help that he offered them to be their lawyer should their trial comes. She also hates Fire Lord Ozai for his abuse against Zuko, and his plans for domination is no better than Bill taking over the world through Weirdmageddon. Relius Clover and Ghetsis Harmonia too, with Ghetsis being worse over the fact that N ''wasn't even his own child''. |
| 722 | ** Pacifica has felt pity for Azula for also being under the thumb of an abusive father in Ozai since even if she fulfilled what he cares about in his children, he wouldn't even want them to share his seat of power. Unfortunately, Azula is [[DontYouDarePityMe not willing to take the pity from her]] as she's still of the mindset that she must gain the approval of her father as that she is all she had lived for; Pacifica could only sigh at Azula's impending self-destruction as she could do nothing to change her mind. |
| 723 | * Pacifica have mingled with girls from rich families (and one adopted into one) as they heard of her situation and sympathized with her experience through it. Charlotte and Haru are great friends with her, being both actual fellow nice rich girls; they often go on shopping trips together and don't worry, Pacifica hasn’t lost her sense of fashion. She's especially chummy with Haru, who sympathized with Pacifica over her complicated relationship with her parents - something that the Phantom Thief is definitely no stranger to. On one trip, Charlotte invited Sara Crewe and Candy White along, who actually hit it off with Pacifica and were glad that she turned around for the better; in turn, Pacifica gets to hear and imagine what it's like to be poor from them and takes their advice to heart now that [[spoiler:she and her parents lost their mansion, stored riches and ponies]]. |
| 724 | ** Stella Hoshii may be a bit prideful and high-strung (particularly if it involves her robotic eye) she's still ultimately nice in the end, kind of like Pacifica minus the robotic eye. Unlike the Northwests who are snobby, greedy and unfair to the common folk, Stella is more generous as evidenced by the parties she and her family threw where she lets the staff take home any leftover food and even buys gifts for the staff's children; plus, Stella's closest friend Sei Asagiri is of a lower class than her. Stella is glad that Pacifica reformed and had make up for her family's terrible crimes and the latter in turn sees Stella as a cool adult to look up to. After all of these meetings, Pacifica had realized just how being a good person will honestly take one far. |
| 725 | ** Of course, where there are good reminders there are also bad reminders. The Reagan heirs, Eliza and Neil are just as snobbish as what Candy had described, and Pacifica was glad to not have befriended people like them fully. Pacifica also does ''not'' like Princess Morbucks, considering the Powerpuff wannabe's role is the exact opposite of hers: being completely pampered by her father while she is the villainous one; Morbucks think she's a whiny baby who might as well stay out of her power fantasy, which mind you can't be brushed off as childish when she has proven a threat against [[Pantheon/BodyParts the Powerpuff]] [[Pantheon/HeroicAppearances Girls]] a number of times. |
| 726 | * Make no mistake, even if Pacifica turns around for the better she'll still act haughty like before and [[SarcasticDevotee will take potshots at anyone even if she's allies with them]]. Of course for some, they can't really do that much anymore and such is the case of Fuyuhiko Kuzuryuu, a yakuza heir who was involved with the Despair Incident in his world and had to face losing his bodyguard Peko Pekoyama in the Future Foundation's rehabilitation simulation that kickstarted his resolve to be cooperative with his fellow remaining classmates. Kuzuryuu was angered that her parents rarely give a crap or two about her mental health, only their reputation and image and Peko had to restrain him so that he can cool off; instead of giving in to his anger, he instead decided to protect her instead should she needs it and everybody else who befriended her were unavailable. Peko felt pretty much the same way and discounting her and her young master's brainwashing by [[Pantheon/CrueltyAndSadism Junko Enoshima]], she couldn't imagine being conditioned into obeying by her yakuza employers but tries be there for her. |
| 727 | * As she is now a ReformedBully once she have largely stopped trampling on Mabel's fun, Pacifica found herself under Jimmy Hopkins' radar but instead of him about to beat her up for picking on Mabel, he instead pats her shoulder and commends her for changing her ways and plus, he usually doesn't directly beat up female bullies which is why he only use indirect methods; he'll make sure she's on her best behaviour from now on, not that Pacifica is under peer pressure to bully others anyway. Flash Thompson also related to her on that front, and became angered when he heard about the abuse; it's because he himself was under abuse by his own parents which led him to take it out on [[Pantheon/HeroicRoles Peter Parker]]. Pacifica is only glad that being a superhero made him a better person overall, even if he's got some temper that might hinder his allies' efficiency. On a trip to a boutique, Pacifica met Helga G. Pataki, also a former bully who bullied Arnold out of not knowing how to properly express her feelings for him. As they talked, Pacifica felt sympathy for her due to her being raised by parents who hardly care for her, only her sister Olga and was a little glad she's an only child. Helga is more horrified that Pacifica was ''abused'' by her own parents, right down to Pavlovian conditioning on her psyche; the two girls decided to stick together in solidarity seeing as they also gotten kinder now that they have befriended their former victims. |
| 728 | ** Shouya Ishida is a also a former bully as he once bullied Shouko Nishimiya when they were in elementary, all because he didn't want to be bored. Soon after she transferred did he become a scapegoat for it, and this combined with realizing the stuff Shouko did for him did he come to seriously atone for this past of his in the present; Pacifica is glad that he did atone for his actions before it was too late and in turn, Shouya was pissed that she had gone through a hellish ordeal from her parents. Shouko also warmed up to Pacifica after they both relate to each other over their insecurities about what people think of them, and Pacifica tries her best in reassuring her that she's better than what people have said to her scathingly. |
| 729 | ** Johnny Lawrence was a vicious bully and karate student who undergoes a downward spiral in life after losing the All Valley Tournament to [[Pantheon/CombatOther Daniel LaRusso]] and years later, wants to make amends. Pacifica had a lot of criticism for him since his bullying was more malicious than hers but she toned it down when she heard from him that he had a very rough upbringing, having a mother being a GoldDigger just to support her and him and having an evil sensei in John Kreese who taught him to win whatever it takes or else he'll face punishment; she realizes that she's not so different from him, right down to actively making amends in spite of still being a jerk and actively condemning lying and cheating. After agreeing that her parents suck like everybody else did, Johnny offered her lessons in his newly-reformed Cobra Kai karate school to give her some semblance of self-defense and while she would turn him down as she's usually not interested in karate, Pacifica accepts anyway as she knows that there are worse bad guys out there than Bill Cypher and the abusers she recently encountered. |
| 730 | ** The resident bullies of the Pantheons, such as Gary Smith, Libby Chessler and Biff Tannen are met with disapproval from Pacifica, as they are what would happen if she becomes just as worse than her parents and who she was back then. They all scoff at her, though they wouldn't mind bullying her if they feel like it. Through Johnny's warning, Pacifica stays away from John Kreese lest she gets beaten up by him or worse, being forced to learn his dirty fighting style. |
| 731 | * Pacifica is associated with llamas, due to her hair somewhat resembling one as well as a bell, and she fits the symbol on Bill's wheel when she wore one of Mabel's sweatshirts, which is something that embarrassed her to no end. Yet it still got her to meet Carl Wheezer one day after a shared class in Elysium Academy. Carl is reminded of his classmate Cindy Vortex only more snobbier but seeing as she turned over a new leaf, he offered to bring her to a llama farm; feeling a little bored by the week, Pacifica accepts. She ended up having a good time, even if they don't give her much joy as riding ponies and so, she made an unlikely friend in the wheezing nerd. |
| 732 | ** Speaking of ponies, Pacifica have never expressed so much joy and happiness when she saw the Mane Six hanging out one day, even if it's a little strange to hear them talk like a human but hey, she witnessed weirder stuff in Gravity Falls. Once she catches her breath and stopped hugging [[Pantheon/FriendshipAndCamaraderie Flutter]][[Pantheon/NaturePreservers shy]] tightly, both parties exchange their tales and sympathies over each other's hardships with the ponies being horrified over her conditioning. [[Pantheon/{{Colours}} Rainbow]] [[Pantheon/{{Weather}} Dash]] was reminded of [[Pantheon/FantasticalBeasts Gilda]] who was really mean to her until a few conflicts made her reform and mend her relationship with RD, and [[Pantheon/InternalPowerSources Twilight]] was reminded of Trixie Lulamoon who was haughty and a bully to her and the others until she was eventually humbled. Curious about Trixie, Pacifica goes to meet her at one of her shows she was performing; she liked it, though she thinks Trixie can pull off her theatrics better if she practiced. After the show, they meet and Trixie became a little bit jealous that Pacifica handled her envious feelings better before it comes to a threatening level, but otherwise is speechless at her childhood. Since then, the aforementioned ponies (as well as [[Pantheon/{{Destinies}} the CMC]]) often take the time to play with her, as long as Pacifica isn't going to go "ImTakingHerHomeWithMe" on them. |
| 733 | * She is actually skilled at mini-golf, and sometimes goes to the House of Sports to play a round or two. This gotten her mingled with Numbuh 2 and Bart Simpson who had experience in playing the game as well, albeit as beginners. Numbuh 2 goes against extreme enthusiast of miniature golf Rupert Puttkin and actually prevailed over him through sheer beginner's luck despite not having played a single game up until that point. This, combined with not taking it seriously causes Rupert to force a rematch by shrinking Numbuh 2 alongside the world's various monuments for another game, and it escalates with Rupert wanting to shrink the entire Earth and play miniature golf across the universe but is once again ultimately defeated by Numbuh 2 insisting it's just a stupid game where Rupert screws up his shot yet again. As for Bart, he was roped by his father Homer into playing mini-golf against Ned Flanders' son Todd and he gets trained by Lisa to be up to par against Todd, but come the game they're both under the crushing pressure of both of their fathers' cheering as a result of a bet and ultimately just decide to tie. Pacifica was dumbfounded at both of their experiences and Numbuh 2's even more so; she decided to take notes just in case she played against them soon. She did became worried about Bart, but he reassures her that Homer doesn't always act like that even if he has little respect for him. |
| 734 | ** There's also [[HiddenDepths more to Pacifica than what everybody mostly known her for]], like [[PungeonMaster having a fondness for making puns]], liking [[DeepFriedWhatever deep-fried food]] and [[GamerChick being a skilled Level 100 player]] in ''Bloodcraft: Overdeath'' with the handle "PLATINUMPAZ". She does get her deep-fried food from Col. Sanders' KFC restaurant chain which she's grateful for and the Colonel in turn is glad someone like her enjoys his recipes. The T-Doll Thunder also secretly plays [=FPSs=] on her off time and was glad to join Pacifica in a round of ''Bloodcraft: Overdeath'' just to see her amazing skills. |
