| 30 | * Opposes: '''[[Pantheon/OffensivePowers Scott Summers/Cyclops]]''', [[Pantheon/TimePeriods Alison Blaire/Dazzler]] |
| 31 | * Blackagar Boltagon is the ruler of the Inhumans, a race of isolated superhumans separated from human society. Exposed to the Terrigen Mists as an embryo, King Blackagar Boltagon was born with the ability to harness electrons that he could manipulate. The speech aspect of his brain is used to expel the energy generated inside of himself, so what ends up happening is a lot of StuffBlowingUp if Black Bolt has a single noise produced by his vocal cords. Even two words are enough to completely atomize a person and if going on for long enough, can rupture reality itself. How Black Bolt gets around this exceedingly destructive power is with the tuning fork on his head, [[RequiredSecondaryPowers allowing him to channel his particles through physical enhancements, blasts, and even flight]]. To not risk everyone around himself, Black Bolt has learned the art of silence and only speaks when it is for the greater good. He cannot even SpamAttack his own voice as his power damages his vocal cords. With their ruler's power, it comes as no wonder that fighting against the Inhumans is seen as a death wish by many. |
| 32 | * Black Bolt has one of the most strained public images in the broader Marvel Universe due to the nature of the Inhumans themselves. [[SmallSecludedWorld They are a secluded caste society that wants to close themselves from the greater universe around themselves]], which some would argue for a good reason considering their power-granting technologies that creates their meta-humans use are dangerous in any hands. Being their current ruler, Black Bolt's first duty is to his people and he would do anything to protect them, going as far as to fight other hero teams. Black Bolt and his Royal Family have tossed hands with so many other heroes, he stopped counting. That said, he will stand with them when it comes to something that blatantly risks the entire universe. [[EnemyMine This is especially true if Inhumans would inevitably be caught in the crossfire, whether they are from Earth or not]]. Black Bolt came to blows with apocalyptic beings like Thanos and Galactus, which frankly did not leave him in the best condition afterward (he got better though). That is not to say that Inhuman society is just simply existing as everything happens around them. Black Bolt has to deal with his brother always trying to usurp the throne constantly, sometimes succeeding but it usually returns back to his hands. Inhuman society has reached a melting point several times, enough to force Black Bolt to reform its caste system. There is also the considerable amount of invasions the Inhumans receive, such as that time when the Kree Empire and the Inhumans were deeply locked into war. People usually question this king as so morally gray, [[BlackAndGrayMorality but considering what he has seen]], it is warranted. |
| 33 | * [[LoveIsAWeakness Family is one of Black Bolt's more blatant weaknesses despite his seemingly impenetrable exterior]]. His family is at the same level as his duties, enough for him to not consider killing Maximus despite the constant treason. At the same time though, it could be a strength as those times like when Magneto kidnapped his son or when his brother kidnapped his son, or when Kang the Conqueror kidnapped his son. [[DesignatedVictim Only when thinking about it, Black Bolt realized how frequently his children get kidnapped]]. His wife ([[KissingCousins who also so happens to be a distant cousin]]), Medusalith Amaquelin-Boltagon, is someone he is eternally devoted towards. Black Bolt is [[{{Polyamory}} actually married to more than one spouse]] though those political marriages are nothing compared to what he calls his true wife. There are also his other cousins who are close with Black Bolt in both personal and government. [[BerserkButton Overall, messing with his family is a sure way to have Black Bolt come after you harder than a speeding missile]]. |
| 34 | * The Fantastic Four is probably the closest ally of the Inhumans on Earth, enough for Black Bolt to have his wife and sister-in-law have been members once. Their first interactions (where they first interacted with the superheroes of Earth) with the Fantastic Four were not the greatest, though the Fantastic Four warmed up to the Royal Family eventually. Black Bolt and Reed Richards have been allies as Illuminati members, fighting off against those pesky incursions that threatened TheMultiverse itself. The Inhuman King went to defeat the final members of the Interdimensional Council of Reeds with the help of the Universal Inhumans ([[ExoticExtendedMarriage which he got extra wives out of]]). However, what Black Bolt does not appreciate is that Johnny Storm had an affair with his wife at one point which strained their marriage. Black Bolt eventually got back at Johnny Storm for this is perhaps the most fitting way possible. |
| 35 | -->'''[[WesternAnimation/FantasticFourTheAnimatedSeries A cringe Johnny Storm]]:''' [[PissTakeRap It's not always cool to be cool (What?). They try to play you for a fool, like you see a girl whose unique, it's a dream. Cause she's sweet and she really seems to really knock you off your feet.]] |
| 36 | -->'''Johnny Storm:''' OH GOD, BLACKAGAR MAKE IT STOP! YOU KNOW I CAN'T SPIT FIRE! |
| 37 | * The Inhumans get compared with the mutants a lot, even though they are far different when one puts it to scrutiny. Mutants are people whose genetics gave them unique powers that alter their bodies, [[TouchedByVorlons while Inhumans are a genetically modified race who deliberately gain powers through Terrigenesis]], the exposure to the Terrigen Mists. Black Bolt has worked with Professor Charles Xavier beforehand as Illuminati members and Inhumans never were in conflict with the X-Men until [[ComicBook/DeathOfX a certain event]] caused an all-out war between the Inhumans and mutants. After the Terrigen Cloud was unleashed by Black Bolt after ComicBook/SecretWars2015 ([[ComicBook/EarthX this is not the first time Terrigen Mists were unleased by Black Bolt]]), it turns out the Terrigen Mists are fatal to mutants and along with the fatalities Black Bolt brought was Scott Summers (Cyclops) and a grieving Emma Frost wanted vengeance against the Inhumans for his death. [[RevengeBeforeReason Even though she could have just informed the Inhumans of this matter and they could have worked together to prevent more deaths, Emma Frost created a projection of Cyclops to gather a mutant army against the Inhumans with Magneto, leading to an entire war with them that ended with the Inhumans getting some deservedly bad impressions from Earth and the Terrigen Clouds being annihilated]]. The Inhumans acted like dicks at this time, so this aftermath was not unwarranted. Emma Frost had her plot exposed and the Inhumans and X-Men united to defeat her but she escaped as most villains do. Black Bolt himself is justifying not being liked much by the X-Men for this reason. Dazzler was an ally beforehand, though any goodwill was torn when she was personally employed by Emma Frost to subdue Black Bolt. Cyclops, even though he was not the one who instigated a war against the Inhumans had very few kind things to say to Black Bolt due to perceived selfish actions. Black Bolt may have good intentions like ending FantasticRacism or something along those lines, but these good intentions usually blow up in his face faster than his parents' atoms. |
| 38 | ** What selfish actions that Black Bolt has done was use the Terrigen Bomb to create Inhumans across Earth. The Terrigen Bomb was created to ensure peace by spreading the Terrigen Mists across the universe to ensure peace by making everyone the same species. [[SarcasmMode Because surely discrimination would just end since everybody would have superpowers]]. Black Bolt used the Terrigen Bomb as an explosive against Shi'ar Imperial Fleet, without the Terrigen Mists spreading around. He had another Terrigen Bomb prepared for Thanos who was searching for his lost son, Thane, and activated it, which spread across Earth. [[MassSuperEmpoweringEvent This resulted in heroes like Kamala Khan and Thane emerging as Inhumans]], though many onlookers who say Black Bolt doing this caused a lot of problems he never considered, including the the aforementioned Terrigen Clouds wiping out mutants. [[RealitySubtext People can go as far as to say that it was as if the Inhumans were trying to supplant the mutants so hard, that it only ended up making everyone hate the Inhumans]]. The Inhumans may be incredibly racist to every other species but after spending time on Earth, Black Bolt naturally does not want his people to be enemies of any Earth-dwelling species. |
| 39 | * Hulk and Black Bolt really hate each other as the Hulk tried to take his rage out on Black Bolt for the Illuminati exiling him. He fought Black Bolt, savagely beat him then subsequently enslaved him to be a gladiator. Then it turned out the "Black Bolt" that the Hulk defeated [[ActuallyADoombot was a Skrull imposter]] meant to infiltrate the Illuminati while the real Black Bolt was kidnapped by the Skrulls. Black Bolt took care of the Skrulls with a vengeance afterward, though is absolutely terrified if it was him that got beaten by the Hulk instead. |
| 40 | * He actually sees Wanda Maximoff as an ally, going as far as to aid her ([[TokenEvilTeammate and Doctor Doom apparently]]) with notable other heroes Peter Parker, Eric Brook, Tony Stark, and Janet Van Dyne to form the Darkhold Defenders to fight against the Elder God Chthon. [[TheCorruption However, the Darkhold that served as their portal to the Outer Realms corrupted the heroic team, resulting in the evil team of the Darkhold Defiled being created]]. As all big shakes in the status quo go, the heroes eventually came back to their normal senses, albeit with traumatic memories that Black Bolt specifically asked Wanda to give. He does not hate Wanda Maximoff but he does hate the Scarlet Witch since he believes that Chthon is working his evil ways through the corrupting Darkhold. He knows the results of a conflict between him and the Scarlet Witch would be [[YourHeadASplode mind-blowing]] though rightfully believes that the Darkhold must be stopped at all costs. |
| 41 | * A person who can completely negate Black Bolt's powers is Donquixote Rocinante whose Devil Fruit powers of making a complete area of QuieterThanSilence around himself. Due to Black Bolt's powers being transferred from sound, it is logical to assume that if Rocinante has his Devil Fruit activated, [[PowerNullifier then that would instantly stop whatever sounds Black Bolt can hurl at him]]. The first time they met, Rocinante went to pick up his brother who was stopped by Black Bolt after Doflamingo tried to take over Attilan to instantly himself as the new king. His power was useless in that situation, but Black Bolt went to Rocinante's doorstep basically begging to see if these silencing powers work on him. It seamlessly does work, both in regards to Black Bolt doing his best to shout on the inside and shouting at him from the outside. Obviously, Black Bolt still cannot talk in this space, though found it refreshing to exercise his lungs without worry. If there is a situation where Rocinante had to make an immediate area around himself and Black Bolt needed to shout, the king at least knows who to call. |
| 42 | * Clark Kent related to Black Bolt to some degree. Not with being raised as royalty aspect, [[WillfullyWeak but needing to restrain his powers to protect those around him]]. Plus, Black Bolt knows his secret by pure analysis. The king may be mute, but he is not blind. Clark Kent was doing a cover story on Inhuman society until Apocalypse showed up on a whim. Black Bolt was going to fight the ancient mutant but Superman showed up to [[CurbStompBattle completely decimate Apocalypse]] in front of everyone. [[CaptainObvious Black Bolt concluded Clark Kent was Superman because Superman flew from the direction of his home and the guy never bothered to change his hairdo]]. It only took Black Bolt to gently take the glasses off of Clark to essentially confirm what he knows. [[SilenceIsGolden It also took one finger to the mouth to also tell Clark that his secret was safe with himself]]. Clark Kent as grateful as he was, wanted to pound his head in for allowing his secret identity to be so spelled out in that situation. |
| 43 | * Black Bolt went to get a therapy session from Black Canary when his own brother told him that this family still had some trauma that needed to be arranged. Yes, he knows the irony given that it came from his brother. Regardless, he did have a point and if there is anyone who could relate to his struggles, it is Luckily for the therapist, Black Bolt was another person who has the power to shout at people. Black Canary felt sorry that she had to break it to him and that she had WAY more control of her voice than the Midnight King had. Surprisingly, he was able to open up to her with writing and sign language. Canary even taught herself [[HandSignals the sign language]] that Black Bolt communicates with just to have a better connection with her client. Some of the stuff that Black Bolt spells out to her is fascinating. |
| 44 | * Cain despises Black Bolt for being similar to his brother. [[SuccessfulSiblingSyndrome A sibling who has found much more success while leaving the younger sibling in the metaphorical dust]]. Cain went as far as to try to form an entire group centered around siblings who were screwed over and is trying his best to ascend Maximus to do this. At the same time, Cain is hoping some unforeseen incident arrives that does not allow Maximus in the Pantheon as he does not want to deal with Black Bolt, but he is too deep now to get out of his own promises. |
| 45 | * Eneru tried to conquer Attilan with the hopes to claim it for himself as like Skypeia, he wants to lord over the people of a floating island as {{God}} with the expectation that everyone would follow him. He did not even call it a conquest and said that he was "[[InsistentTerminology uniting]]" all of those from the sky islands as they are all culturally the same. [[InsaneTrollLogic Then he would blow it up because everyone who lives on floating islands is the least natural thing he could find]]. Of course, Black Bolt came to defend his home and his particle powers actually caught up with Eneru's speed. This forced Eneru to retreat but pronounce that he was a success in his conquest. Black Bolt wondered why American rapper Music/{{Eminem}} tried to take over his home. |
| 46 | * Madara Uchiha went to Attilan to challenge the Midnight King specifically. Well, not actually fight Black Bolt but to see if he could resist the full brunt of his mighty voice. [[VillainsOutShopping Madara was busy in the afternoon because he was behind on filing his taxes]]. After tearing through nearly the entirety of Attilan military including most of Black Bolt's own family, Madara went to confront the man himself who was so angered by what happened, that he shouted at Madara with a simple, "GetOut." Unsurprisingly, Madara took the brunt of that sentence and ended up with a light scratch of himself, only asking for Black Bolt to not hold back. Black Bolt grabbed Madara, flew him to the highest point of space, and shouted at Madara with his highest voice, which still reached below the surface past Attilan and started tearing literal holes in reality. [[NighInvulnerability Madara somehow survived that plus with him falling down to the ground from space, his body utterly torn though he was completely happy at what transpired]]. He would jokingly say [[SexIsViolence he got aroused after]] though his lower half did not confirm that to him. |
| 47 | * The Dovahkiin and Black Bolt have a rivalry in terms of who is better at shouting. Being the Dragonborn, the Dovahkiin obviously has it [[ComboPlatterPowers better in terms of the variety of powers]] the Thu’um but Black Bolt does not need that variety. A single thing he says would outright destroy the Dovahkiin if caught off guard. It was then the Dovahkiin texted Black Bolt by throwing himself in front of Black Bolt’s vocal range directly, telling Black Bolt to say anything. The Black Bolt calling the Dovahkiin a moron sent the Dovahkiin flying far enough to span an entire country in the iconic RagdollPhysics the Dovahkiin is known for. The Dovahkiin was sure that the distance was akin to walking from Winterhold to Cyrodil’s gates. Good thing that Become Ethereal existed as a Shout to use. |
| 48 | * Melkor tried to steal the Terrigen Mists for himself as he would have put it to great use for his own armies. Imagining dragons and Balrogs having easy access to superpowers would be something worth drinking a keg for, -[[DidntThinkThisThrough so in his great unholy wisdom]], he tried to invade Attilan himself without any idea where the Terrigen Mists actually were. To his credit, Melkor certainly caught Attilans by surprise but his forces were eventually driven back by their superpowers. Melkor even went into the battle himself though when trying to squish their king out of contempt, he found himself being toppled over the moment that Black Bolt uttered a single word. He thought this would be as easy as stealing the Silmarils, [[ThisIsGonnaSuck to which Melkor soon realized that his trigger-happy plan was perhaps a really bad strategy]]. At least he knows how to cut his losses, unlike some people. Melkor could be seen scurrying off into the mountains carrying the remainder of his forces, while Black Bolt repeatedly shouted random lines at him. |
| 49 | -->'''Black Bolt:''' Get out of my city. |
| 50 | -->'''Melkor:''' STOP SHOUTING AT ME! WE ARE LITERALLY NOT ON YOUR STUPID ISLAND ANYMORE! |
| 51 | -->'''Black Bolt:''' I know. I just felt like running you down. |
| 52 | -->'''Melkor:''' YOU'RE STILL HURTING ME THE MORE YOU TALK! |
| 53 | * Chin Chin assaulted Black Bolt on one unsuspecting day with the hopes to absorb the endlessly producing particles from him as an alternative source to his chromosomes. Filthy Frank went to fight Chin Chin but in the struggle, a confused Black Bolt was sent to an AlternateUniverse of the Pantheon where things are run very differently. Most importantly, Black Bolt found himself easily apprehended and sent to face the TV Tropes Pantheon Illuminati. [[Series/DoctorWho Lord President of Gallifrey]], d³∑x₂ (played by Creator/RichardEGrant). [[Manga/{{Naruto}} Reigning Empress of Shinobi]], Kaguya Ōtsutsuki. [[ComicBook/LegionOfSuperHeroes Founder of the Neo Legion of Superheroes]], Superman-Prime. [[Franchise/TheMatrix Maintainer of the Matrix]], the Oracle. Finally, [[Literature/TheSilmarillion the Bright Herald of Eru]], Melkor. [[WholePlotReference Black Bolt honestly felt like he should be in one of those chairs]]. Melkor replied that their Black Bolt WAS an Illuminati member in this universe, but fractured off to be part of a "[[MythologyGag Pantheonic Rebellion]]" if you will where the Pantheon leadership required all facets of the omniverse connected to be tied politically and economically to the Pantheon like vassal states. This Pantheon's iteration of Black Bolt is currently missing and being one of the faces of the Pantheonic Rebellion, they want to throw him into [[TheAlcatraz the jail called the Disgraces]] in order to break the Rebellion's morale. It was unanimously decided by the Rebellion that the best course of action for themselves was to have the Black Bolt standing before them in their Black Bolt's place as a prisoner that needed to be paraded around. They could have faked a Black Bolt arrest much earlier, though spies potentially being everywhere proved that plan could have blown in their faces quickly. Plus, it is not as if Black Bolt can just ''tell'' people of his true nature. |
| 54 | ** Of course, once they finished the details of their plans to him, Black Bolt verbally replied to them by saying, "Absolutely not, you bureaucratic fools." What was supposed to at least stuff them was negated by forcefields created by the Time Lords. [[CurbStompBattle Superman-Prime then dashed to Black Bolt and proceeded to beat him within an inch of his life]]. Before the final blow that would have knocked him unconscious, Filthy Frank came back to fix the mess that he brought on by transporting both of themselves back to their dimension... then back into the same dimension that they just escaped from. Filthy Frank explained to Black Bolt that he is actually [[AlternateSelf one of the leaders of the Pantheonic Rebellion]] itself. The Black Bolt from this universe had tried to attain power outside of the Pantheon but was killed for it, [[GambitRoulette which resulted in Frank baiting Chin Chin to attack Black Bolt so their subsequent battle can be used as a cover to transport him across universes]]. Considering that the Pantheonic Rebellion saw Black Bolt highly, it would be more than reasonable from Frank's perspective. For why Filthy Frank--a mongrel of a creature--is going this far to help stop an imperialist union that extends across the omniverse, Frank indulged why he is such a benevolent rebel. |
| 55 | --->'''Filthy Frank:''' That motherfucking asshat of a Time Lord took the last Franchise/SonicTheHedgehog popsicle from that ice cream truck! Bitch, I waited in the blazing heat for five minutes just to get one and that cunt snatched it from under me! I'm going to fucking tear his life apart if I have to! |
| 56 | ** Black Bolt decided to join the Pantheonic Rebellion due to "being trapped" by Frank. Filthy Frank already spread the fake word around that their fake Black Bolt came back which gave a significant morale boost for the Inhumans taking part in the rebellion. [[ConscienceMakesYouGoBack He knows that he could not simply abandon those Inhumans despite being from another dimension]]. So he basically told his family (and not his asshole of a brother) to hold down the throne until he can in good conscious return. Like many certain rulers, Black Bolt underestimated how long this war would take and expressed dismay at how long it is taking him. He trusts his wife with the throne, though he cannot trust his brother to not keep his grimy hands off for an extended period. |

With their biggest enemy gaining a RankUp and the ascension of another Jaeger, the members of Night Raid decided to let one of their members split and find a new house to reside in, in order to prevent the two Jaegers from spreading their influence across the Pantheon. Akame was the one who was chosen to leave the original temple, as she was the one who [[spoiler:killed Esdeath]] and therefore stood the best chance in an encounter with her. |

| 80 | * When she's not busy killing evil shmucks, Akame can be found eating [[BigEater lots of]] [[TrademarkFavoriteFood meat]], usually with Luffy.

Akame then decreed that they both cook for her, stating that the loser would have to be the victor's servant for life. These clear motivates them both and they wasted no time making their dishes. Akame's reactions to the meals were [[OrgasmicallyDelicious as expected]] but when it came time to decide a victor, [[CliffhangerCopout she said that she would have to take a rain check on it and bolted]]. |

| 86 | * Jetstream Sam wanted to tried out Akame's Teigu, since it reminds him of his own sword, Murasama. Akame agreed, but only because his nanosuit means he won't be affected by the blade's poison. Akame soon learned of his story, pitying him for [[spoiler:once being a hero who fought warmongers]]. |
| 87 | ** Afterwards, she confronted his boss, attempting to poison him. Thanks to his nanomachines, Armstrong was unfazed and came out victorious. Interested in her skill, he challenged Akame to fight him again. Akame's response? |
| 88 | --->"I knew people who tried to turn the world into ruins. I've stopped them. I knew [[Pantheon/CrueltyAndSadism someone]] who tried to continue the war for [[BloodKnight their own sadistic benefit]]. [[spoiler:[[BadassBoast I killed her]]]]. You're exactly like her. I'll come back, and when I do, '''[[TriggerPhrase I will bury you]]''''." |
| 89 | * Is good friends with Oberyn Martell, who was able to embarrass an evil kingdom with his dying actions. Oberyn is currently researching the origins of Murasame, and Akame is allowed to wield his weapons. |
| 90 | ** Sometime after the formation of their alliance, Oberyn told Akame of Gregor Clegane, and asked if she could deal with him. Naturally jumping on the chance to take care of warmongers, she went to the House of War to confront him. After breaking his armor, Akame slashed Clegane and managed to incapacitate him. Clegane has vowed to get his revenge on her, and Esdeath, a frequent visitor of his house, is more than happy to help him. |
| 91 | * Erza doesn't approve of her occupation, but otherwise has no reason to oppose her. The two of them can be seen having swordfights with normal weapons sometimes. |
| 92 | * Has an intense dislike for emperors like [[Pantheon/{{TyrannicalFigures}} Palpatine]] and [[Pantheon/{{PhysicalPowers}} Frieza]]. She's aware of their overwhelming power, but is currently working to infiltrate their temples and slice them with Murasame. |
| 93 | * Also in the House of Pantheon/{{Toxicity}}. |
| 94 | * ''If you can't find a reason to fight, then you shouldn't be fighting.'' |

| 117 | * Opposed by: [[Pantheon/{{Passion}} Selina Kyle/Catwoman]], [[Pantheon/RedVsBlue The Blood Gulch Crew]] ([[Pantheon/{{Disguises}} Carolina]], [[Pantheon/PowerAndAbilities Washington]] and [[Pantheon/{{Prophecy}} Tex]] in particular), [[Pantheon/FantasticalJobs Locus]], [[Pantheon/OutlooksOnJob Super Sonico]] |
| 118 | * Roman had been working with many valuable allies in the Pantheon while remaining in fear of someone who had [[TheManBehindTheMan remained in the shadows]] for quite a long time. After a certain amount of failures on his part, she decided that enough was enough and decided to ascend herself to the horror of much of the Pantheon to continue along [[GreaterScopeVillain "her"]] plans. She would ensure [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zTdLRu45sMY victory for hate incarnate when it falls]]. |
| 119 | -->'''Cinder''': "You'll know what you need when you need to know." |
| 120 | * Regarding her weapons, [[RequiredSecondaryPowers she can generate glass-like weapons using dust infused into her clothing, such as making projectiles from molten sand, and her signature bow and twin swords]]. |
| 121 | * While Roman once had a relationship with this woman, he knows that he can't risk remaining under her thumb for much longer [[spoiler: considering how his life came to an end in the pit of a Grimm Griffon]]. He did contact Sundowner about Cinder offering a special form of payment for causing a new war in the Pantheon. |
| 122 | * Team RWBY and Team JNPR naturally were furious over her arrival, since she caused all of them a lot of trouble with her actions and horrible deeds. Ruby and Jaune especially wanted to kill her because of [[spoiler: the death of their friend Pyrrha at her hands.]] Cinder knew she was likely one of the more despised new gods in the Pantheon, and she ''enjoyed'' having such a reputation. For now both Team RWBY and JNPR stay away from Cinder... |
| 123 | ** Ruby is the only deity in the Pantheon whom she both fears and hates the most. Due to the fact [[spoiler:her silver eyes severely damaged her body to the point she needed a [[BadassTransplant Grimm limb]] to replace her old one, and [[EyeScream lost her left eye.]]]]. Due to the nature of Ruby's power, she knows that she must tread lightly around the huntress, but that doesn't meant she won't try and get her revenge... |
| 124 | ** Pyrrha vowed to one day engage in combat with the Fall Maiden in the hopes of [[spoiler:avenging her demise]], along with removing her from the Pantheon before she can cause any more misery to others. |
| 125 | ** Jaune vowed to make her pay for all of the crimes, murders, and horrible deeds she has done for the sake of her master. Cinder in turn...[[ButForMeItWasTuesday doesn't even remember]] this DorkKnight of Beacon Academy, which '''severely''' pissed him off knowing that [[spoiler:she doesn't realize how important Pyrrha was to him before her mortal demise]]. |
| 126 | * Regarding said superior, Cinder went into a brief period of shock when she mistook [[Pantheon/AiPersonalities Cortana]] for her when she heard the AI speaking. And of course, hearing of the existence of such an evil and powerful person like [[spoiler: Salem]] immediately made Master Chief want to stay as far from Cinder as possible. |
| 127 | * As a high-ranking general and leader of the Jaegers, the notorious Esdeath was interested in learning more about the Fall Maiden. Not only did she find Cinder's [[MinidressofPower choice]] [[{{Sarashi}} in]] [[SpyCatSuit outfits]] rather appealing, she was also looking for a good opponent to challenge her with opposite elements. Cinder meanwhile knows better than to pick a fight with someone beyond her capabilities. |
| 128 | * The fair, noble princess was disgusted by someone as cruel as the personal student and disciple of a "Wicked Godmother", wondering what exactly would drive her into becoming this way. She also was horrified by how [[FairytaleMotifs similar]] they were in certain ways and shoes they wear. |
| 129 | * In order to help further along her schemes, a strained truce was formed between Cinder and Felicia in order for them both to get what they want. The Black Cat would loot something of importance from the Pantheon, and Cinder thought she was meant to "squash a bug" in return, however this got under Felicia's skin. While she claimed that Spider was only for her [[spoiler: she truly didn't want him dead, especially at the hands of this woman]]. |
| 130 | ** In contrast Selina was quick to find Cinder an immoral bitch who likely [[spoiler:was just trying to corrupt Felicia who was trying to get back in the grey side of being a common thief.]] Selina also hates how she treats her subordinate Emerald, finding that relationship to be one-sided manipulation on the Fall Maiden's behalf. |
| 131 | * Azula is very impressed by the flames Cinder wields in battle, and hopes to learn how to improve her own fire-bending skills from this schemer. |
| 132 | * [[Pantheon/RedVsBlue The Blood Gulch Crew]] naturally fears her, but [[Pantheon/IntrovertCharacterization Simmons]] says [[Creator/JessicaNigri Cinder sounds like]] one of his troops back in Chorus. The standouts are Washington, Carolina and Tex, who also have Cinder's contempt for reminding her of [[Creator/ShannonMcCormick Ozpin]], Pyrrha and [[Creator/KathleenZuelch Glynda Goodwitch]]. From the same series, Locus is also not fond of Cinder, having enough experience with ambitious and bloodthirsty people. |
| 133 | * [[Creator/JessicaNigri Cinder's voice]] is shared with Super Sonico, who was less than pleased about it, though Cinder is still unsure if she should care this pink haired girl. |
| 134 | * Is hated by Emperor Claus for being like most of his enemies who are simply aimless and empty. He also [[spoiler:feels that with her supposed "fall" in Remnant, she is weak compared to those he sees as true beings of power]]. |
| 135 | * Holds Xehanort in high regard for [[TheChessmaster his intellect]], desire for power that she can understand, but most of all, his ability to wield darkness that reminds her of the [[TheHeartless Grimm]] from her old world. Naturally, this puts her at odds with Sora and his allies, especially since [[spoiler:he almost met the same fate as Pyrrha]]. |
| 136 | ** [[spoiler:It is not known if Cinder can use her Grimm arm to steal powers outside of maidens, as she expressed desire to wield a Keyblade]]. |
| 137 | ** [[spoiler:There is an ongoing rumor that she's ended up becoming a Seeker of Darkness. However, many have stated that it wouldn't be surprisng if she was part Xehanort already.]] |
| 138 | * Striking a deal with the the Grinner Twin Queens, she promised that they each can have the [[GrandTheftMe body]] of one RWBY and JNPR member should they help her deal with them in the future. |
| 139 | * At one point she was confronted by one of the members of the Investigation Team, who wanted to learn the kind of crimes she did in the mortal plain, but she felt confused when she heard him speak with a voice reminding her of [[Creator/YuriLowenthal Mercury Black]], one of her disciples. |
| 140 | ** Speaking about her followers, she quickly got along with Ragyo's personal Grand Couturier who [[PerpetualSmiler reminded]] Cinder about Roman's ice-cream named comrade Neo. |
| 141 | * Despises [[Pantheon/HeroicAttitude Ragna the Bloodedge]] due to the many similarities he has with Ruby Rose, Yang Xiao Long and Qrow Branwen. When confronting him however, the dark aura from his [[ArtifactOfDoom Azure Grimore]] was so intense that it rivaled that of even her master and [[spoiler: Ruby's Silver Eyes]], that she got out of there as fast as she could. Ragna just finds her annoying, and somewhat irritated due to the similarities that she has with [[Pantheon/CrueltyAndSadism Terumi]], Nine and himself. |
| 142 | * Has a chalkboard filled with many details about her [[CardCarryingVillain "Evil Plans"]] and constantly tries to keep people from reading it, lest they be ruined! And in her off-time she dedicates to a lot of evil activities, be it kicking dogs, stealing candy, spreading spam and trolling online, and doing something with hitchhikers. |
| 143 | -->'''Cinder''': [[EvilIsHammy NOOOO! MY NEFARIOUS PLAAANS!]] ''[cries]'' |
| 144 | * She's recently joined a state of TeethClenchedTeamwork with Adam Taurus, due to their mutual hatred of team RWBY. However, it's made clear that he's working for her since she [[AnOfferYouCantRefuse traded him lien and weapons in exchange for his life]]. |
| 145 | * She has recently heard word of another of her enemies gaining power in the Pantheon. This time around, it was [[Pantheon/{{Misfortune}} Qrow Branwen]], the Huntsman protecting her hated nemesis Ruby Rose. She also bears resentment towards [[spoiler: his twin sister after [[DisneyVillainDeath what she did to her]]]]. In her eyes, Qrow is yet another obstacle in her path to conquest. |
| 146 | * Due to her current inability to ascend, Salem herself has Cinder stand-in for her as a 'representative' in the Pantheon which allows the master of the Grimm a foothold into the Pantheon while remaining untouched in the mortal plane. Cinder herself doesn't mind it as long as it means she gets what she wants. |
| 147 | * ''I want to be strong. I want to be feared. I want to be powerful.'' |

| 161 | * {{Foil}} to: [[Pantheon/AnalysisAndRecords The Nameless King]] |
| 162 | * Rival: [[Pantheon/{{Popularity}} Rise]] [[Pantheon/VillainousReputation Shredder]] |
| 163 | * Back when Master Oogway was still alive, he was a comrade to a ruthless yak known as Kai. An ambush resulted in Kai taking an injured Oogway to a village of pandas and when the tortoise discovered chi during his time there, Kai wanted it for himself, prompting Oogway to banish him to The Spirit Realm. Years later and defeating some martial artists there ([[Pantheon/VillainousSuccessAndFailure Tai Lung]] apparently being one of them), Kai defeated Oogway and escaped that realm, taking the chi of various kung fu masters and wanting Oogway’s reputation destroyed, as the yak is furious that no one knows of his fearsome reputation. With his jade swords and “Jombies” (the kung fu masters that Kai drained the chi of and now serve him), Kai continued his rampage, only to get forced back into The Spirit Realm by Po, who would then defeat him and save all the kung fu masters that Kai drained the chi out of, Oogway included. |
| 164 | * A martial arts training session at one of the Pantheonic dojos was interrupted when a couple of jade warriors showed up and tried to kill all the students that were there at the time. A voice was being heard through the jombies introducing himself as Kai, though no one present had any idea who he was, prompting him to break into the dojo in anger to prove that he really is as dangerous as he was in the past. Kai was able to overpower the students and drain their chi and was coming close to doing the same to the headmaster before Po showed up. Po, having been aware that no one (friend and foe alike) truly stays dead in the Pantheon, engaged Kai in combat, freeing the captured martial artists that Kai had in possession before defeating him once more. Kai didn’t take his (second) loss against Po well and vowed to regain his reputation as a dangerous conqueror, especially if it included finally destroying Oogway and his legacy for good. |
| 165 | * With how large the Pantheon is and how much faster information spreads, Kai believed that his actions would make him at least more notable among certain members even if records of his actions with Oogway in the past were forgotten in his world. It didn’t take long for him to learn the hard way that his actions are still relatively obscure within history across different worlds and that there are others who have made a much bigger name for themselves and have gained significant notoriety as a result. All this did was motivate Kai more to take further action and ensure that others won’t forget what he did past and present. |
| 166 | * Danny Rand was alarmed at Kai and his ability to drain the chi of others, particularly since he himself would be a target and Kai would have access to a large amount of chi and a strong jombie if Rand fell to him. The fact that Kai is more than willing to lay waste to the reputation of Oogway, someone who wanted to use the power of chi for good, was enough for Rand to consider Kai a threat that needs to be stopped. Kai found Rand’s past legacy, especially regarding chi and martial arts, to be too similar to Oogway’s in terms of using it for good and is more than willing to drain Rand’s chi to make a point that Kai is not to be taken lightly and will be a name that will be remembered for a long time. |
| 167 | * While Kai cares very little about others and is mainly focused on keeping his reputation alive, he was able to be friends with Voldemort. Much like Kai and his desire to be a feared conqueror, Voldemort sought to be a fearsome wizard and did whatever was possible to achieve it. While Kai ended up being forgotten by history because of Oogway and no one understood who he was, Voldemort no longer became a threat after he was defeated and his broken soul became permanently stuck in Limbo. Kai saw Voldemort as someone who was worthy of being a fearsome threat among others and Voldemort was interested in Kai’s ability to drain the chi out of others. Whether or not Kai will become a Death Eater is an uncertain and frightening possibility, but otherwise he and Voldemort get along well with each other and have relied on each other to rebuild their reputations in the Pantheon. |
| 168 | * Another villain that cared more about his reputation than anything else who Kai befriended was Syndrome. The supervillain was shunned by someone who they admired back then, akin to how Kai was banished by former comrade Oogway over a selfish desire for power (though Mr. Incredible never had much of an interest in taking in Buddy Pine back then compared to how Kai and Oogway worked back then). In a general sense, both want nothing more than to build up their reputation by destroying anyone in their way, especially against the ones who drove them away back then. Kai hasn’t really given much thought on using potential weapons that Syndrome suggested he use, but he has at least suggested to the supervillain a chi-powered robot based on what Syndrome has designed thus far. |
| 169 | * Some martial artists who Kai has become interested in were those involved in the World Warrior tournaments. Their skills in combat meant that if Kai were to take their chi, then he’d have some great additions to his collection of jade martial arts masters. The likes of Ryu and Ken Masters were enticing to him (though the two have nothing positive to say about Kai), but it was Gouken who Kai took special interest in. Being the teacher of the aforementioned Ryu and Ken, Gouken was someone who Kai believed had a lot of power, which also meant a strong reputation. Someone who was willing to disrupt the field of martial arts for himself and steal from others was something that Gouken could not stand by and fights between the two have occurred, with Ryu and Ken stepping in at times whenever Kai is dangerously close to absorbing Gouken’s chi. |
| 170 | * Not only does Kai drain the chi out of his victims, he essentially turns them into stone and by extension, they become part of his collection of jombies for him to use. His ability to use that in addition to immobilizing anyone that gets in his way got him the attention of deities that are known for turning others into statues such as [[Pantheon/EarthAndRock Medusa]]. Although Medusa turns her victims into stones and nothing else, the idea of having her petrified victims become potential servants for her to use in battle was a curious prospect for her, but decided against it after giving it some thought. Kai thought the idea of simply turning someone into stone was too cheap since it meant that fights are one-sided and that anyone who wants their fearsome reputation to be known should give their opponents a deadly battle rather than ending things swiftly. |
| 171 | ** There are plenty of victims that were turned into stone or crystal in the past that have plenty of hatred towards Kai over what he can do. The Defiers of Fate, who went on a mission to prevent themselves from being crystallized, harbor special contempt towards him, especially since if Kai were to turn one of their members into a jade statue for him to use later, they would end up having to fight them later on. Kai doesn’t care much about the group in general, mainly since he sees them as potential targets for his growing collection of jade statues. |
| 172 | * Besides chi absorption and using his jombies to attack, Kai uses a pair of swords attached to a chain to attack his opponents from afar. The fact that the Pantheon had deities whose primary weapons are similar to what Kai uses didn’t escape him and he wanted to see just how capable those particular weapon-users are against him. Many have noted that Kai’s swords are similar to what [[Pantheon/{{Sinners}} Kratos]] uses and at first, Kai wanted to try and fight him, but considering that he lost to Po and that Kratos would be a very dangerous foe even without chi, Kai has decided to wait until he’s become strong enough to take him on. |
| 173 | * Kai’s anger at having his own history forgotten was only slightly mitigated after learning that there was another deity whose past was deliberately forgotten by others, with that someone being The Nameless King. In the latter’s case, his name was erased from history by his father Gwyn over siding with dragons and rebelling against him. Kai was taken aback at the fact that The Nameless King wasn’t actively trying to rebuild his reputation despite his capabilities, up to and including trying to get back at the man who took away his history. Even if The Nameless King can understand Kai’s frustrations about being erased from history, he believes that Kai thinking too much about his glory days and trying to force it to happen again in the present won’t end well. |
| 174 | * On its own, jade is regarded to be a very valuable crystal and something that many of the greedier deities such as Wario in the Pantheon have tried to get their hands on for the sake of being richer. In a very blatant disregard for the life of others, those greedy entities were interested in those battle trophies Kai has on his belt of numerous kung fu masters, but in Kai’s opinion, any attempt to sell jade that belongs to him, be it those statues or his swords, is seen as nothing more than an attempt to cheapen his legacy (not that those greedy treasure seekers care about him or his reputation). He has fought anyone that has tried to take any of his jade-based items for themselves and has a few times turned those treasure hunters into jade trophies, though the aforementioned Wario has given Kai some trouble in these instances. |

| 191 | * Kazuya Oki was a scientist in International Space Development Program, who willingly took part of a project to turn a man into a cyborg for the intention of creating an astronaut able to survive the harshness of space without a bulky space suit. Unfortunately the lab was attacked by the evil organization Dogma after the experiment was complete, leaving Kazuya the only survivor. After the incident, he went to Japan to practise Sekishin-Shourinken in order to transform on his own will, eventually giving birth to the hero known as Kamen Rider Super-1. |
| 192 | * Super-1 is equipped with the Five Hands, five sets of gloves what have different functions based on the pair he is using. |
| 193 | ** '''Super Hands''': Super-1's default silver gloves what give his fist striking power up to 300 tons. |
| 194 | ** '''Power Hands''': Red gloves what allows Super-1 to lift, push and pull objects up to 50 tons. |
| 195 | ** '''Elek Hands''': Blue gloves what allows Super-1 to shoot 10,000 volts of electricity from his hands. |
| 196 | ** '''Thermal Hands''': Green gloves what allows Super-1 to either shoot fire of freezing gel out of his hands. |
| 197 | ** '''Radar Hands''': Golden gloves what come with drones what can scan a 10 kilometer radius what is shown on a screen on the gloves. The drones themselves also double as missiles. |
| 198 | * The trope of TrickedOutGloves originally belonged to Yozakura, but after some arrangement, she gave up that trope to Kazuya. Yozakura seems to be inspired by Kazuya, thinking that maybe she would be able to modify her gauntlets to have more versatile options. |
| 199 | * When he heard that there was a god named Benkei in the Pantheon, he thought he was one of his past two mentors. At last, it was the historical Benkei. That being said, he doesn't mind this Benkei at all. This Benkei does say that even though Kazuya is a martial artist, he is surprisingly good with a sword if given one. |
| 200 | * As he was originally meant to be an astronaut before becoming a hero, he is a mentor figure for Gentaro and Ryusei who are his successors in the space/martial-artist Kamen Rider tradition. For the former, he's helping Gentaro create new combinations with his Astroswitches and for the latter he trains Ryusei in learning the Sekishin-Shourinken style. |
| 201 | * He has a particular dislike forwards anyone who practices SocialDarwinism, as the Dogma Kingdom's plans revolve around that idea. He also has a particular dislike for those who would bring wanton destruction, like Jin Dogma. And the less that is said about the fall from grace on the part of his own mortal avatar, Shunsuke Takasugi, the better. |
| 202 | * He wasn't happy to hear that there is another martial artist called Kazuya in the Pantheon. The dislike is mutual from Mishima. |
| 203 | ** However he was happy that he became allies with another Kazuya, named Ryuuzaki, who also deals with stopping an alien invasion just like how Oki's attempt to stop the Dogma's invasion on Earth. |
| 204 | * And then he hard of yet another Kazuya by the surname of Minegishi, though he's caution around him as it's not really known what he ultimately stood for. |
| 205 | * He also happens to be friends with Domon Kasshu as both were trained in a unique form of martial arts. No wonder that the two became interested in their respective martial arts as they might apply these skills in their training. |
| 206 | * He seems to have a hidden talent of being able to disguise him really well if situation requires. |
| 207 | * Like many Toku heroes before, he absolutely loathes Monokuma and its mastermind [[spoiler:Junko Enoshima]] for their reputation of pitting 15 students in their murderous "School Life of Mutual Killings" in Hope's Peak Academy by forcing them to kill each other just for the sake of despair. Upon hearing this, he joins with other Toku heroes in an effort to stop their plans in the pantheon. |
| 208 | * He was not pleased that SHOCKER has finally made their move into the pantheon, due to the fact that the remnants of his sworn enemies had joined in their cause for World Domination. Because of this, he joined with fellow Toku heroes in an attempt to stop them. |

| 224 | * Enemies: '''[[Pantheon/CombatMagic Ultimecia]]''', and by extension, the other Warriors of Chaos, [[Pantheon/FantasticalLeadership Hela]], [[Pantheon/CharacterAdaptations Ardyn Izunia]]. |
| 225 | * His title comes with a dubious legacy, as while he codified the Gunblade, in its original incarnation the "Impossible" part of ImpossiblyCoolWeapon irked some fans, who thought the idea of a sword with a gun for a handle was ridiculous. Later refinements of the design into dual gun-and-sword combinations have redeemed both it and him. He's also proven that the original design works perfectly well as-is in his subsequent appearances. |
| 226 | * For some reason, many of the more energetic and cheerful members of the pantheon seemed drawn to hang out with him. Squall tries to get them to go away, but they don't listen, and while he doesn't admit it, he's gotten used to their company. |
| 227 | * Ascended by pioneering the style of combining the sword and the gun into one weapon. Bonus points for using a [[RevolversAreJustBetter revolver]]. |
| 228 | * Has a love-hate relationship with his fellow god [[spoiler:and father]], Laguna Loire. While he sighs and belittles him, you can catch him smiling if you look close enough. |
| 229 | * The fact that [[Creator/DougErholtz he sounds so much like]] [[Pantheon/CrueltyAndSadism Yuuki Terumi]] is something that greatly disgusts Squall. |
| 230 | * Many followers have invented a rivalry between him and the God of Swordsmanship but both parties remain fairly passive on the subject. |
| 231 | * Is known for telling those who annoy him to just go talk to a wall. Whenever this happens, Squall is capable of conjuring a wall for the annoyer to speak with as he leaves. However, this will not work on Pantheon/{{E|motion}}xcalibur. |
| 232 | * Many in the Pantheon couldn't believe their eyes when they saw [[WhenHeSmiles Squall smile]]. The reason? Because of Rinoa finally ascending to the pantheon. |
| 233 | ** After ascending, Rinoa has been doing her best in making Squall socialize more and also helping mending his relationship with [[spoiler:his father, Laguna]]. |
| 234 | * Denies any connection or relationship with [[Pantheon/CombatSkill Annie Leonhart]], despite the common last name, all while claiming that he's had enough with newfound lost relatives. |

| 252 | * Enemies: '''[[Pantheon/CapesAndCoats Reaper]]''', '''[[Pantheon/{{Firearms}} Widowmaker]]''', [[Pantheon/{{Romance}} Sniper Wolf]], [[Pantheon/TyrannicalFigures Haman Karn]] |
| 253 | * Ana Amari was one of the founding members of Overwatch and also one of the most loved ones. Through all her career, Ana was known as one of the best snipers in the world, having succeeded in a number of important missions. Until one day she was presumed dead after a mission when Widowmaker shot her in the eye. But that wasn't the case, Ana instead went to hiding, since the stress of killing so many people had gotten to her and she preferred to leave all her friends and moments behind. And now, she is ready to return to the battlefield once more, but this time she is going to protect the one she loves the most. |
| 254 | * Her biotic rifle was once intended by Mercy to only heal, but thanks to a reverse engineering by Torbjörn, Ana's rifle now is able to both harm enemies and heal her allies. Mercy is not happy that Ana has modified her weapon, but nonetheless is happy that she is now here. |
| 255 | * Shortly after ascending, Ana was welcomed with open arms by every one of her old friends from back in Overwatch times. However, her happiness was short lived when Reaper decide to show up. Both Ana and him have [[WeUsedToBeFriends quite a history that they really don't want to talk about]]. |
| 256 | * There has been an ongoing speculation about who could possibly be Fareeha's father. Ana herself hasn't said anything on the matter, but [[WordOfGod other sources]] might point that this person is very important. |
| 257 | ** Other common theories are that Pharah's father is either Reinhardt or Soldier: 76, [[ShipTease given certain interactions between her and her comrades]] |
| 258 | * At 60 years old, Ana's is one of the oldest snipers among the ranks of the pantheon and is quite respected by the more younger generations. Her aim isn't as good as how it used to be back in her prime, but she is still is a very good shot and has caught quite a lot people off guard. |
| 259 | ** That said, the presence of Widowmaker doesn't amuse her at all, given how she is responsible for shooting out Ana's eye out and eventually forcing her into hiding. It's clear that Widowmaker likes to remind of Ana's fall of grace, but Ana simply doesn't take her attacks all that seriously. |
| 260 | -->'''Widowmaker:''' You were once a legend, but what are you now? Just a shell of a woman. |
| 261 | -->'''Ana:''' [[DeadpanSnarker I take it you don't want my autograph, then.]] |
| 262 | * Thanks to her egyptian heritage, Ana got to personally meet the ancient gods of the egyptian pantheon. Most deities, especially Ra and Osiris, welcomed her assuming she was a follower of Horus, given the tatoo she has under her left eye being the Eye of Horus. |
| 263 | * Seems to get along a lot with Iroh, due to [[RetiredBadass former military leaders who are also very capable fighters for their age]]. And Ana loves to drink tea, so she also a frequent visitor of his tea shop. |
| 264 | * Has noticed that there are a couple of deities that happen to [[Creator/YoshikoSakakibara sound like her in certain cases]]. For example, one of thoses is Integra Hellsing, another white-haired, dark-skinned woman with an eyepatch who belongs to an organization that fights for the world's safety. |
| 265 | * There were tales of an alchemist that once joined a group of heroes in order to defend the castle from the invasion of Dr. Junkenstein's minions. Ana can't quite recall those event, but she stated that she has no idea how alchemy works. |
| 266 | * Being a mother, Ana is quite known for being protective of the younger members of the pantheon, especially those from the house of Pantheon/ChildhoodAndAdolescence. That would explain why he doesn't want her daughter Fareeha to join Overwatch, even though she is already an adult. |
| 267 | ** On occasions, [[MemeticMutation she tends to bring cookies and sweets to the children in the pantheon]]. This possibly may be her hidden grandmotherly tendencies. |
| 268 | ** Other would go and question Ana's legitimacy as a good mother to Fareeha, [[ParentsAsPeople due to she being too commited to Overwatch back in her day]]. But Ana says that she still has a good relationship with his daughter. |
| 269 | * Ana has been summoned into [[VideoGame/HeroesOfTheStorm the Nexus]]. She has befriended other Blizzard deities there and still showed her combat prowess even at her age. |
| 270 | * ''"Never stop fighting for what you believe in."'' |
| 271 | * Can also be found in the House of Pantheon/HealthAndDiseases...even though she herself has no medical license |

| 286 | * Enemies: '''[[Pantheon/NiceAndNasty Sora Shiun'in]]''', [[Pantheon/TaintedLove Raynare]] |
| 287 | * Ascended after she proved that she was a [[OneManArmy One-Girl]] SiegeEngines with her Railway Deck, which includes all sorts of locomotives, trains, railcars, trolleys, etc., all combined with cannons. |
| 288 | * First thing she did after ascending was, of course, to try to greet Yuma... And then almost instantly tried to blowing him up again with her Flying Blaster because she thought that he had forgotten about her, especially after she heard that [[spoiler:he and Kotori became a couple]]. |
| 289 | ** She got the wrong person... Again. Turns out that the "Yuma" she attacked was no one other than Raynare, who obviously wasn't the person she was looking for. She doesn't seem to care unlike the last time this happened after hearing what kind of person she was, and it [[EveryoneHasStandards digusts her]] that a woman who tried to kill someone who loved her for no good reason at all could have a name that's homophone to her friend. |
| 290 | * Can often be found wandering through the several Houses or in the House of Gaming looking for challenges against her Railway Deck. Many in the latter House told that while she's skilled at the game, her dueling style is... [[AwesomeButImpractical Iffy]] at best due to fact she has no way of backing up the offensive with some defenses. She never listens to them. Not it would matter considering that [[AttackAttackAttack her duel]][[LeeroyJenkins ing style]] is very similar to her [[HotBlooded personality]] anyways. |
| 291 | ** She can be also be seen hovering with her Flying Blaster through the House of Travel... And crashing due to not paying attention. She met Subaru Nakajima this way, who was amused to meet someone who travels in their own weapon just like [[spoiler:her sister]] Wendi, with a similar personality to boot. |
| 292 | * She seems to get along a little with Mami Tomoe, since it impressed her how she could turn her flintlocks into a freakin' towering railway cannon built onto two separate trains. Mami in the other hand, while she is mostly nice to her... She would prefer it if she wasn't ''so'' temperamental. Though she did admit that it wasn't that different from hanging out with Sayaka and Kyoko. Mami has been trying to see if she can get her to "duel" with her Flying Blaster someday. |
| 293 | ** She gets along a little better with Yoko, who understands her kind of personality a lot more, though she would prefer it if she used the cannon more frequently at people who actually deserve it and not just because they annoyed her. |
| 294 | ** The fact that this trio of [[TheGunslinger gun-using]] girls are quite stacked is not lost in anyone. There was once a person who asked Anna if she was going to join the Poly Racks as their TagalongKid. She responded by [[MegatonPunch punching]] the smuck away. |
| 295 | * There are times she misses the rest of her friends... So she often hangs out with Aki and Carly to compensate since there aren't too many duelists her age or gender.. But she, along with Aki, can be seen sighing for some reason... |
| 296 | * Bonded with Sekai Saionji and Kotonoha Katsura over the fact their love interests are idiots and they don't have any reserves when it comes to the... "Punishment". Though the reasons why they lose their temper at them are [[ObliviousToLove different]]. She doesn't seem to care about the rest of the Yandere Quartet one way or the other. And yet she ended up joining the Yandere Squad. |
| 297 | ** It's for this reason she doesn't like too much Makoto Itou, though she seems to like that the high school student [[BullyHunter protects the weak from bullies]]. So she often helps him with that but it's not above in trying to blow him up if he does something against Kotonoha or Sekai. |
| 298 | * Why they call her a Female Jaden... Well, she does look like him. In fact, there are people who believe she is actually a daughter of his with Asuka/Alexis [[spoiler:or [[CrossoverShip Aki]]]]. [[ShipSinking She is not]]. She really is not but she and the real Jaden seem to get along just fine. |
| 299 | * Her appearance on the Pantheon made [[Pantheon/RebellionAndRevolution Lelouch]] give a DoubleTake. His reaction to her can pretty much be resumed as "So not only there's a girl that looks like my friend [[Anime/CodeGeass Kallen]], now there is a girl that is named like her too?!" |
| 300 | ** By the way, she is not related with that other Kozuki. Ironically, they are both in the same House which gave them the chance to met each other. |
| 301 | * You see her and Sora Shiun'in on the same place? Well, if you are a Demigod or a Quasideity, '''''Run for cover'''''. Very strong girl prone to anger with a cannon + Really athletic psychotic boy that can knock out adults + Hatred For Xyz: Horrible mix! These two simply can't stand each others' guts and are pretty destructive too. |

| 330 | * Ashley J. Williams was just a guy who was hanging out with his friends and sister at a cabin in the woods [[WhoWouldBeStupidEnough playing a tape that recites the Necronomicon]]... okay, not the smartest move for them, which is why they all died from that, leaving Ash as the SoleSurvivor. Since then, he dedicated the remainder of his life hunting down Deadites that now plague his hometown. Though his [[Film/ArmyOfDarkness adventure to the medieval times]] is more infamous in everyone's eyes, earning Ash the trope of ThisIsMyBoomstick because he shown his shotgun (which he calls his 'boomstick') to the villagers, winning them over and [[TropeCodifier codifying it for future stories]]. |
| 331 | ** A Deadite invasion landed in the Trope Pantheons one day and there were too many to handle for the heroic defenders at the time. At the time, Ash was unascended but he nonetheless helped them fend the Deadites off until their numbers shrink. The Pantheon/CourtOfTheGods commend him for that and grant him the aforementioned title so that he can keep fighting off future Deadite invasions. |
| 332 | * His boomstick... let him show you it. Just don't try to shake his hand. |
| 333 | * Got pissed when he found out that Nekron and Nagash were leaders of the Pantheon's undead and their organization, the Pantheon/GrandUnitedAllianceOfDestruction which seeks to eradicate all of life. They laughed at his accusations of them being responsible behind Deadite attacks both pantheonic and mortal though they have no problem calling them over. |
| 334 | ** However, one undead actually befriended Ash and it's Dr. Olivia Moore who assures him that where she's from, her zombies are nothing like Deadites. Ash is very grateful for her help considering her ability to [[EatBrainForMemories gain memories from eating brains]] (which Ash does find weird), though his reactions to said ability's side effects of adopting personalities depends on the brain's owner. |
| 335 | * Is one of the few gods who has [[Comicbook/FreddyVsJasonVsAsh faced off]] against both Freddy Krueger and Jason Voorhees at the same time. Now that the two found out Ash is here, they decided to put off their rivalry and find a way to get rid of him for eternity. |
| 336 | * Because he has triumphed over Freddy and Jason, the good aligned deities from the ''Mortal Kombat'' series are grateful for his presence and Ash himself is amazed that they save their world a number of times. It won't be long before he decided to enter their universe in the mortal realm. |
| 337 | ** They also warned him of the threats posed by Shinnok and Quan Chi, who rule over the undead of their world. Ash obviously doesn't like them one bit and swears to put buckshots on their faces when the time comes. |
| 338 | ** He was also disappointed to hear that Liu Kang and Kitana have turned their back on Earthrealm and [[FullyEmbracedFiend fully embraced their new evil side]]. Ash ended up recalling bad memories of Evil Ash and not wanting a repeat, readies himself for their advances. |
| 339 | * Artix von Krieger is a ''big'' [[TheKnightsWhoSaySquee fan]] of his and the two are currently in a battle to see who can maul the most undead. The war is still ongoing, but given that Artix's powers are from ''destroying Undead'' and being empowered by their souls and the sheer scope of his power from [[spoiler:being the Champion of Darkness]] has shown that he probably surpasses Ash in sheer strength. Ash also is a little unnerved that a great paladin like Artix is afraid of the color ''pink''. |
| 340 | ** Indiana Jones also got along with Ash for sharing [[IndyPloy a knack for spontaneous plans]], who tells Dr. Jones that the Necronomicon is not worth archiving; Jones actually agrees with him, considering that [[Pantheon/MaximumSecurity the Ark of the Covenant]] is just as dangerous. |
| 341 | * Has respect for Sam and quickly defended him from Claptrap's insults during [[Videogame/PokerNight2 a game of poker in the Inventory]]. Despite having newfound sympathies for Claptrap [[spoiler:who despite working for Handsome Jack gets treated badly regardless to the point of losing his fellow units]], Ash still doesn't fully accept his behaviour. Speaking of Jack, Ash now hates him for the same reasons as everyone else after hearing from not just Claptrap but other deities expressing their displeasure towards the CEO of Hyperion. |
| 342 | ** Also learned that he is somehow a distant relative of one former bounty hunter that goes by the name of [[WesternAnimation/TheVentureBrothers Brock Samson]], who is a follower of Guy Shishioh, shares his name with his dad and sometimes plays poker with them as well. Ash is glad that Brock finally ascends and together they slay numerous undead mooks... [[MookHorrorShow whether anyone will like it or not]]. Guy Shishioh himself commends Ash for being brave against the odds of horrors trying to kill him and destroy his hometown. |
| 343 | * Also has run amok against [[ComicBook/MarvelZombies zombie versions]] of the Marvel gods, who actually hold no grudge on Ash given that zombie will be a hassle to deal with in the main universe. |
| 344 | ** On top of that and hunting Deadites, he got along with other zombie slayers like Tallahassee, Lee Everett, Clementine, Rick Grimes, the survivors of the Green Flu, Chris & Claire Redfield and Leon S. Kennedy. All ZombieApocalypse survivors need to stick together after all. He even hunt zombies every once in a while in Raccoon City as a recreational activity. |
| 345 | ** Being an ally of said survivors also entitles him to the same enemies. Ash can't forgive Negan for what he did to Rick and his fellow survivors, he finds the Bakers to be absolutely twisted and avoids going into their house if necessary, Eveline herself is another story and the Weskers' respective plans of [[AGodAmI dominating the world]] and [[ImmortalitySeeker finding immortality]] are no different than the demons from Ash's universe. Alexia Ashford gets a special mention; the thought of using offspring as a weapon just disgust Ash greatly. |
| 346 | ---> '''Ash:''' Man... you are OneBadMother. |
| 347 | ** He is alarmed that there are two other Baals in the Pantheons. They may not be the same Baal from his world, but Ash will be ready to stop them especially if one of them has unlimited power. And since he has experience in deafeating [[BeastOfTheApocalypse Kandar the Destroyer]], Ash joins Crono and his gang to defeat Lavos and his attempts of destroying the Pantheons. It helps that both Crono and Ash are involved in TimeTravel. |
| 348 | ** At first, he was wary of Sabrina Spellman and her [[ComicBook/AfterlifeWithArchie mistake of starting a zombie apocalypse]], despite knowing that she means well and didn't mean it. But then, he found out that she is legitimately remorseful for that action and is looking for atonement. Not wanting be as heartless as the next person, Ash lends her an ear even relating to [[UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom his own mistakes of unleashing the Deadites]] throughout his life. |
| 349 | * Despite being MaddenIntoMisanthropy, Ash would never want omnicide on humanity; he's just very jaded from his time killing Deadites. This leads him into hating Sensui and Lysandre for wanting to kill all humans, making them just as bad as the Evil Dead. |
| 350 | * Boomstick visited him to check out Ash's... boomstick once when on the search for weapons. Ash doesn't mind Boomstick, hell he even requested to be on ''WebAnimation/DeathBattle'' soon. |
| 351 | ** Speaking of boomsticks, there happens to be a goddess of {{Boomstick}}s; Pascal. They meet up and Ash is amazed that a staff that shoots magical blasts of energy can exist, cementing their alliance. Pascal is a bit irked that he still consider it a shotgun, though. |
| 352 | * He has also [[http://ncrediblecarl.deviantart.com/art/Army-of-Darkness-meets-Berserk-140985205 crossed paths]] with Guts and has noted their [[http://pre02.deviantart.net/b6cf/th/pre/f/2010/110/0/0/army_of_darkness_and_berserk_by_firestriker.jpg similarities]]; they both lost their hands (though in Ash's case, he has a chainsaw replacing his hand while Guts has a cannon replacing his arm) and fight supernatural entities. He also wonders if his gigantic sword is CompensatingForSomething. |
| 353 | ** Speaking of his adventure in the Middle Ages, he reunited with Arthur Pendragon, who happened to have memories of said adventure and was previously called 'Lord Arthur'. Arthur can't help but feel delighted with Ash's ascension and likewise, Ash is surprised that Arthur now can hold on his own, arguably even more powerful than Ash. Artoria is also introduced to Ash; she does not approve of his current behaviour and previous mistakes but that has not stop her from being impressed at his feats of defeating threats stronger than him. |
| 354 | ** Ever since losing his hand [[spoiler:which ended up getting an evil mind of its own]], he has been using replacement hands over the years aside of his chainsaw; a medieval mechanical one, a wooden one, a robotic one built out of a Nintendo Power Glove and a natural-looking bionic hand. He does visit Winry Rockbell every once in a while for maintenance, who is more than happy to do so since she often maintain [[Pantheon/FieldsOfScience Ed]]'s arm back then. |
| 355 | ** In one doomed timeline, Ash drank a potion that makes him use TheSlowPath back to his present day... [[ShaggyDogStory but he slept for too long, rendering his journey useless]]. Despite not experiencing it he still has nightmares over it, earning the sympathy of Rory Williams-Pond who feels bad about Ash since he himself also took the slow path but it ended on a good note for him. The Dahaka fully oppose Ash since he intervened in the past for too long, though in Ash's defense it wasn't his idea; he was just thrown into the past. |
| 356 | * Has heard of a girl who has something to do with the Necronomicon, which leads him to said girl named Futaba Sakura who told him that no, the Necronomicon is not in her possession; just a Persona that shares its name. Ash still hangs out with her anyways since she reminds him of his little sister, Cheryl. Futaba's dad, Sojiro is a little weirded out by Ash's presence but nonetheless treats him like another regular customer. |
| 357 | * Ash loves his job at S-Mart and has been working there as its most well-known employee before losing it and [[SoulSuckingRetailJob ended up getting a terrible job at a Value Stop]]. Nonetheless, he managed to get an S-Mart outlet for a non-slaying day job. From this he gained {{Friendly Rival}}s in Recette Lemongrass and Apu; the three maintain a competition to see who gets more profits than the others. |
| 358 | * He once married and knocked up a woman named Candy Barr, who then sired Brandy. After their reunion, Ash tries to make up for her lost time by taking care of her while fighting the Evil Dead and still does so as she becomes one of his Heralds. To understand the plight of illegitimate children, Ash hangs out with Josuke Higashikata, who gave him the right perspective of a bastard growing up. Of course, this makes Ash opposes [[BastardBastard the evil illegimate children]] Goro Akechi and Marcello, who take their upbringings very badly. Artoria's kid, Mordred while usually pleasant, her twisted love for her 'father' is where Ash draws his line. |
| 359 | ---> '''Ash:''' At least Brandy's not like this... |
| 360 | * Before he mans himself up, he was a coward back then and lapse back into one every time he gets discouraged. Because of this, he hates Muruta Azrael and Lord Djibril for reminding him of what a pathetic man he used to be. He admired and later befriended Horace Slughorn and Piglet for being brave at least once despite their perpetual unconfidence. |
| 361 | * Despite Xena meaning no harm to him nor anyone else, Ash [[Creator/LucyLawless can't help but be reminded of]] Ruby Knowby, who is [[spoiler:the true author of the Necronomicon]]. |
| 362 | * Recently, a ''Deadite sharknado'' has landed in the House of Pantheon/{{Weapons}}. Amidst the blades, bludgeons, bullets, blasters, and bombs, Ash came in chainsaw running, boomstick blazing and snarks aplenty. This incident led him to bump into Fin Shepard, who had experience in fighting sharknadoes. Seeing the two snark it up while blowing and hacking Deadite sharks is quite a sight and the two became good friends after that. |
| 363 | * Has been seen with Spider-Man on a few occasions. Rumors abound as to why, but a few believe it's the machinations of [[Creator/SamRaimi a certain mortal]]... |
| 364 | ** He's also keeping an eye of a potential successor in the form of [[Film/EvilDead2013 Mia Allen]]... |
| 365 | ** And gotten along with Darkman, given both share a creator, and Peyton even finished his movie disguising himself as [[Creator/BruceCampbell Ash]]. |

| 384 | * Enemies: [[Pantheon/MannersOfDeath Herr Frederick von Twirlenkiller]], [[Pantheon/{{Colours}} Null Sector]] |
| 385 | * An easy way to make one's weapon much more deadly is to simply have it be rocket propelled, with the intent of the added force turning whatever got in the way into paste and/or mist. In the Pantheon lies a god whose title involved with {{Rocket Powered Weapon}}s. Little of which is man, most machine, but very much all bovine, it's Big Bull. The giant cyborg gave his reasoning for the position when he slammed down on one unlucky god with his Jet Hammer. After nearby deities helped un-nail the poor sod, Big Bull received his title and temple. It would of been great if he managed to get into the House of Beasts instead, but is willing to make due with this ranch here instead. After all, he did manage to be in the same House as Jack Cayman, and he's sure to be protect his sworn brother. |
| 386 | * Back when DeathWatch was hosted in Varrigan City, Big Bull Crocker served as a MiniBoss Jack encountered multiple during his "mission" to save the Mayor's daughter, the last of which ended in his permanent death where Jack finally acquired Big Bull's double chainsaws. [[SpiritualSequel In an alternate but similar universe]] (IdenticalStranger, LegacyCharacter or something, we don't know) Big Bull at some point suffered a injury critical enough for him to turn to using a mechanical body. He would then go on to declare himself as King of Altambra, leading a gang very much fond of his personality oozing testosterone and hamminess. This Big Bull here met Jack Cayman as he was passing by during his business and came to respect him after their battle. Apparently, this level of respect would be enough for him to aid Jack when he was attacked by BPS Drones and later [[HumongousMecha Cthulhu]] (unrelated to the [[Pantheon/CelestialBodiesAndStars abomination]]) and [[CyberNinja Zero]] (no relation to any other Zeroes either). |
| 387 | * In the grand scheme of things he played a minor role during the chase on Maximillian Caxton and hasn't met much of the other cast, but he has settled to change that. [[PetTheDog While he chose to leave the man himself alone]], he and Blacker Baron easily hit it off, and their ventures often prove to be loud and violent whether its with each other or anyone else who just happened to tick them off, like Nikolai, who denounced Big Bull as another lawless bug meant to be stomped out. Big Bull offered to stomp him and his BPS Drones out first, apparently still sore over [[ItMakesSenseInContext being turned into a reading light for him]]. Him and Bayonetta hit it off as well having also [[GuestFighter somehow met her during the whole ordeal]]. Still harboring a vendetta against Jack Cayman for turning him into a German smoothie, Twirlenkiller also crossed violent paths with Big Bull, an the former was actually caught off guard when he realized how dangerous Big Bull became after only being a MiniBoss. Howard and Kreese have also decided to commentate on Big Bull's actions throughout the Pantheon. |
| 388 | --> '''Kreese:''' "You know it's pretty dope seein' "Big Bull" Crocker gorin' people as a big ass robot now." |
| 389 | --> '''Howard:''' "No kidding. Dude's done a hell of a lot more lifting since Varrigan City. And with that cyborg parts comes the ability to be a bit more socia''bull''." |
| 390 | --> '''Kreese:''' "You're gonna have a real fuckin' wild time with all these bull puns, aren't ya?" |
| 391 | --> '''Howard:''' "If he's having fun, so am I!" |
| 392 | --> '''Kreese:''' "Jesus Christ..." |
| 393 | ** Of course, with the great possibilities that lie within the Pantheon, Big Bull and his gang sought out any deity related to bulls or cows. Though he only found one actual deity that is a bull, he did manage to befriend Baine Bloodhoof, sort of. Baine is lot more lenient towards a peaceful resolution than Big Bull, who would prefer to stampede those who wrong others, though by all means the Tauren is no pushover. Baine does have to give Big Bull props for forming some form of order in a place where [[TitleDrop anarchy reigns]], and the only people who are capable of doing so don't do much if at all. While on the topic of Tauren, Big Bull got a chance to meet the Elite Tauren Chieftain and not only can he respect his strength but he and his gang got really hooked on his music too. |
| 394 | *** It was through the ETC that he heard of the Milk Cow Pokemon. While some of his gang members were quick to dismiss her, they were quick to take it back when Miltank demonstrated her surprising toughness. Anyone who can apply such power on ghosts, who can't even be touched at all by her typing, is alright in Big Bull's book. |
| 395 | * While he's very much known for his Jet Hammer, he's not completely reliant on it. When not used, it functions as a JetPack for him to quickly move in spite of his heavy build. Believe it or not, Big Bull is well versed in the martial art Baijiquan, a style of kung-fu, and his robotification doesn't seem to have hampered that one bit. For enemies that manage to be bigger than him he also has hidden drills to skewer and puncture through whatever hunk of flesh or metal gets caught in his grip, and while he's long past his days as a MiniBoss, his time in the Pantheon also allows him to whip out a gargantuan double chainsaw or his original giant drill from when he was in DeathWatch [[{{Hammerspace}} out of nowhere]]. If that's not enough, he can transform in a giant bull head to, for lack of a better term, bullrush people into next week. [[MundaneUtility He mainly uses it]] in sports like [[BloodSport Deathball]] but has also found use for it outside of it in the Pantheon. This caught the attention of Gene as [[PunchedAcrossTheRoom while his methods are different]], he still respects the feats Big Bull displays rushing down his foes. |
| 396 | --> '''Howard:''' "Now that's what I call a converti''bull!''" |
| 397 | --> '''Kreese:''' "And that's what I call fuckin' stupid commentary!" |
| 398 | --> '''Howard:''' "Oh come on, that one was pretty good." |
| 399 | --> '''Kreese:''' "''None'' of them were 'pretty good'. That just might be the shittiest one yet." |
| 400 | * Big Bull has got major competition when it comes to he hammer department (or really any two-handed blunt weapon) and while he admits they're all pretty impressive, he isn't letting them get the better of him and his Jet Hammer that easy. He's willing to lock horns and leave as many indents to prove his point. Nora Valkyie, Smough, and Reinhardt are people he commonly competes with. |
| 401 | ** Perhaps the biggest rival he earned would be Dreamland's own self-proclaimed but certainly [[AdiposeRex obese ruler]]: King Dedede. They're impressed with each other's jet powered powered weaponry, and there have been talks about a cagematch between the two. Just when the rumors had started to simmer down low and behold there was an actual announcement for such a match between the two Kings. To those who managed to catch a ticket agree it was certainly grueling for both fights but eventually King Dedede prevailed and blasted the King of Altambra through the cage. After picking himself back up he laughed it off but also aches for a rematch. |
| 402 | --> '''Kreese:''' "Since when were missiles legal in these sorts of matches?" |
| 403 | --> '''Howard:''' "Since now. What, you think after a drawn out fight like that you think one of them's just gonna keel over?" |
| 404 | --> '''Kreese:''' "No, but cheers for that." |
| 405 | ** Sometimes he also competes with Labrys (who wields a rocket-powered axe, but same principle), but it's way more friendlier given that she used to be a follower of his before she decided to become a goddess herself, with Big Bull helping by vouching for the Anti-Shadow weapon. Between their [[BrooklynRage similar accents]], their stubborn tempers and their massive rocket-powered weapons, Big Bull also sees a lot of himself in Labrys, [[spoiler: even down to Shadow Labrys too, due to her own bull motif and bull-like Persona Asterius, who is based on the ''original'' minotaur]]. One time he and his gang decided to drop by and help out Labrys and her sister Aigis when an extremist group of robots known as Null Sector decided to attack the later. As he puts it: |
| 406 | --> '''Big Bull:''' Now hold on just one second. Herd versus herd is much more fair on ''my'' ranch! And it sure as hell ain't big enough for two to graze around here, so guess who's gonna take you and your bullshit outa here! [[BoisterousBruiser Ahahahaha!]] |
| 407 | --> (Big Bull and Labrys both take out their weapons and get ready for a fight) |
| 408 | --> '''Aigis:''' Wait, I do not understand what is happening. Are they hostile? |
| 409 | --> '''Labrys:''' Aw, don’t worry about it, sis! I dunno about you, but I got an '''axe''' to grind with those guys! Just roll with it and get ready to have some fun! |
| 410 | --> '''Kreese:''' (groaning) "Care to add anything else? |
| 411 | --> '''Howard:''' I don't have anything left, actually. I just wanna see them fight. |
| 412 | --> (Big Bull and Labrys both charge head first into the crowd with their Jet Packs) |
| 413 | --> '''Howard:''' Wow, they sure should've ''moo''ved out of the way... Alright, I'm done. |
| 414 | ** One large brawl later, with many complaints on noise and property damage because of Big Bull and Labrys, more Liberion Arcadia members eventually decided to kick out the remaining Null Sector Omnics out of the place. Obviously the Omnic extremists aren't all too happy about the King of Altambra barging in while they were dealing with so-called traitors to their kind. The two robot sisters, however, were thankful for his assistance even if Aigis was a bit confused at his sudden appearance. Labrys just shrugged and rolled with it. |
| 415 | --> '''Big Bull:''' "[[DeadlyEuphemism On my ranch, you play by my rules, or I put you out to pasture!]] ''[[DeadlyEuphemism Permanently!]]''" |
| 416 | --> '''Labrys:''' Yeah, you tell 'em, big guy! |
| 417 | --> (Big Bull and Labrys both exchange a big celebratory fist bump) |

| 447 | |
| 448 | * Throughout the history of the Ardainian Empire, there have two Blades that the royal family has counted on for generations. These are Brighid and Aegaeon, the Crown Jewels of Mor Ardain. After climbing to the top of the WorldTree, they have been accepted into the Pantheon/TropePantheons for [[AncestralWeapon their role in Ardainian history]]. |
| 449 | ** Upon ascending, they were pleasantly surprised to see [[DownloadableContent Shulk and Fiora]] (among some unfamiliar faces). Apparently, Rex, Pyra, and Mythra had been here for some time. With that out of the way, Brighid would like to resume her arguement with Mythra over [[NoodleIncident how their battle concluded]]. Aegaeon can't contribute since he showed up afterwards, but [[RashomonStyle Lora and Haze said the whole thing was a draw since the latter had to break them up]]. They even said Mythra used [[HumongousMecha Siren]], disobeying Addam's orders. This part earned Brighid's [[WhatTheHellHero disgust]], calling her a [[BerserkButton simpleton]]. |
| 450 | * One thing that bothers the both of them is how the very idea of [[TheEmpire empires being associated with evil]]. Mor Ardain has been lead by at least two emperors who are genuinely good people. This means that anyone who uses their right to rule an empire for evil is their enemy since they give emperors a bad name. |
| 451 | ** In particular, Prime Minister Honest stands out because his emperor is a good person, but he manipulates him into doing bad things since he's young enough to be fooled. Honest also has Esdeath and Team Wild Hunt to do his bidding, making sure TheEmpire is a bad place to live in and stays that way. Seryu Ubiquitous is a more complicated case, since she suffers from BlackAndWhiteInsanity. Seryu is willing to help civilians, but will kill anyone who breaks the law, [[AllCrimesAreEqual motivations be damned]]. The blades have deemed them a lost cause, but the latter has a small sliver of hope. |
| 452 | ** With that being said, they are willing to show some sympathy for Arvis since not only did he usher in 7 years of peace. While he did [[spoiler:kill Sigurd and steal his wife]], he was [[TragicVillain a victim of circumstance]] and did seek to atone for what he's inadvertently caused. Him being remembered as the BigBad only makes things worse. |
| 453 | * Sora Shiun'in has taken note of Aegaeon's SweetTooth and asked him if he could make something sweet for him. Aegaeon was willing to oblige, [[JustBetweenYouAndMe under the condition that he keeps it between them]]. This still managed to catch the attention of the House of Pantheon/ChefsAndEstablishments. Aegaeon considers Starjun an enemy for being part of a group that wants to TakeOverTheWorld and is grateful for the presence of [[Pantheon/{{Food}} Toriko and Komatsu]]. Sanji has acknowledged his skills and believes food should never be wasted, even if it tastes bad. Aegaeon agrees, saying he'd never let any Driver of his starve to death. Once Ignis saw the Blade's cooking, he could only combine it with what he already knew and say, [[CatchPhrase "That's it! I've come up with a new recipe!"]] |
| 454 | * The Blades have each found a sword-wielding rival in the Pantheon. Brighid came across Ivy Valentine while Aegaeon met Vergil: |
| 455 | ** Brighid finds Ivy to be unscrupulous, but still regretful of her past mistakes and [[TheAtoner wishes to atone]]. Ivy tells her that despite her pity, she won't hesitate to kill her if [[EvilWeapon Soul Edge]] corrupts her. Brighid responds by saying the feeling is mutual, and that [[MercyKillArrangement she wouldn't want to be corrupted into doing anything bad]]. |
| 456 | ** When Vergil noticed Aegaeon's swordplay, he challenged him to a duel, knowing [[HealingFactor they can't kill each other very easily]]. Seeing this as an opportunity to hone his skills, Aegaeon accepted. While Vergil refused to use his [[SuperMode Devil Trigger]] [[spoiler:or his Sin Devil Trigger]], he still gave Aegaeon a good fight. This exchange caused him to seek out Kamui Tokinomiya. She agreed to spar with him, but only if he makes her a cookie cutter in the shape of a cute animal. While Aegaeon has not done something like this before, he believes it will be possible and an enriching experience. Unfortunately, [[CurbStompBattle the fight didn't go as he planned]] since [[TimeMaster Kamui can manipulate time]]. She still got the cookie cutter, though. |
| 457 | * Elsewhere, Brighid found Shiki Misaki, who noticed how well-crafted her outfit is. Brighid responds by saying her position allows her to have access to quality repairs for her clothes. Shiki tells her that if she needs someone to sew for her, she'll be glad to help. |
| 458 | * Later, she comes across Diarmuid un Duibhne and Medusa. Unlike Brighid, these two have actually [[SoBeautifulItsACurse SUFFERED GREATLY]] due to their good looks. Diarmuid's Mystic Face has caused women to fall in love with him, regardless of age or marital status. It's gotten to the point where he has to cover up his mark around most women in the Pantheon to avoid another instance since it got him killed. As for Medusa, she's a less extreme example, but many people still died because of her good looks. Brighid realizes just how lucky she is to not have lived any life as tragic as these two. |
| 459 | * Brighid and Aegaeon were pleased to see a legendary sword known as the [[Franchise/FireEmblem Falchion]] had made its way down a family line. Marth, Chrom, and Lucina have all proven themselves to be heroic royal figures. Aegaeon is willing to train Chrom and Lucina since [[DoesNotKnowHisOwnStrength they could do better at controlling their strength]]. Brighid has decided to teach Lucina how to pick clothes that are actually good-looking. Considering [[ImpossiblyTackyClothes Lucina's fashion sense]], this was a good idea. |
| 460 | * The Blades were impressed with how the Master Sword has been able to consistently defeat the forces of evil. Naturally, this has earned their praise towards Link for being the one(s)to wield the sword and Zelda for helping to guide him throughout at least a few of his journeys. They also stand in opposition to Ganondorf since he's the most recurring villain Link has fought. |
| 461 | * Queen Beryl, like Seryu Ubiquitous, is a complicated matter. While all incarnations of her are villainous to a degree, [[DependingOnTheWriter exactly how much so is inconsistent]]. [[Anime/SailorMoon One version of her]] [[AdaptationalVillainy is more heinous than the others]]. She's also managed to become good to a certain extent [[Theatre/SeraMyu in one instance]] [[Series/PrettyGuardianSailorMoon or another]]. In the end, Brighid and Aegaeon aren't sure what to think of Queen Beryl. |

| 476 | ** From the world of Overwatch: '''[[Pantheon/{{Machinery}} Torbjörn Lindholm]]''' (Her father), '''[[Pantheon/HobbiesAndLifestyles Reinhardt Wilhelm]]''' (Her Godfather and Mentor), '''[[Pantheon/{{Accessories}} Angela Ziegler/Mercy]]''', [[Pantheon/AirBasedTravel Fareeha Amari/Pharah]], [[Pantheon/AIPersonalities Bastion]], [[Pantheon/DodgingAndDefensiveness Genji Shimada]].

| 478 | * Enemies: [[Pantheon/{{Overwatch}} The Ascended Talon Agents]] |
| 479 | * The youngest daughter of the Lindholm family, Brigitte was born into a world of heroes and undoubtably so grew to worship them. Her father Torbjörn was a mechanic and she intended to follow of his footsteps but hearing the tales of her godfather Reinhardt about his adventures, she decided to become his squire and learn from him, while also keeping him safe from his own tendency to never stop fighting. Brigitte clearly takes much after these two and so decided to tackle the battlefield with her engineering knowledge as well as her combat experience she took from Reinhardt, all the while donning a suit of armor she herself built. |
| 480 | * There was a debate between Reinhardt and Torbjörn as to who would have Brigitte as their herald. That ended when Brigitte herself became a deity, which worried the two but quickly went to congratulate her for her ascension. One could argue that, however you interpret Reinhardt and Torbjörn's interactions, it would look like Brigitte has two dads. |
| 481 | * She was welcomed by almost all the ascended member of Overwatch besides her father and godfather. She begrudginly followed Reinhardt into the new Overwatch after he answered Winston's recall in order to protect him and so she may become a true member of Overwatch in the future, who knows. In terms of relations to other members: |
| 482 | ** Angela is like an [[CoolBigSis older sister to her]] since she has been a friend of the Lindholms for a long time, even spending a few christmas with them. Of course, Mercy has always opposed Brigitte joining Reinhardt in battle but she, like the old man, is very tenacious and wouldn't listen anyway so whenever both are on the field, Mercy is very protective of Brigitte. |
| 483 | ** Fareeha is like another big sister figure to Brigitte, both being daughters of Overwatch founding members who took a lot of inspiration from their parents and wanted to be heroes like them. That friendship has extended to the battlefield, where Pharah has requested Brigitte to check her armor sometime, she prefers her over her father since the latter is prone to make unnecessary additions that could ruin the suit. |
| 484 | * Like her father, Brigitte is a mechanic and she often is the one that repairs and mantains Reinhardt's armor in operating condition since he is prone to getting it messed up. Her mechanical interest also made her visit the House of Pantheon/MachineryAndTechnology, where she has seen creations that are beyond the world she comes from. Notably, she wasn't the only female mechanic present as she got to meet Winry Rockbell who shared the same interest as Brigitte and the two became good friends. |
| 485 | * Trying to perfect her shielding she tried seeking advice from the best shielders the pantheon has to offer, other than Reinhardt of course. She heard legends about Captain America and Link and how their shields were crucials in the stories they were featured in, but she doesn't quite use her shield as a throwable object and finds Link's shield a bit too old-fashioned and mundane, but this comments were made all in good fun. However, Brigitte found Shield Knight to be the best to help her out with some new shield techniques and helps that she is another fighter like her and Shield Knight has heard good things about Brigitte from Reinhardt, so she was willing to train her. |
| 486 | * [[KindheartedCatLover She loves cats]], having had many cats growing up in the Lindholm household. That's usually why she can sometimes be seen visiting the House of Pantheon/{{Felines}} petting almost any feline deity she comes accross. |
| 487 | ** Some joked about her cat [[Memes/{{Overwatch}} using a jetpack and aiding her in battle]]. She chuckled at the statement. |
| 488 | * While her fighting style is mostly inspired by her mentor Reinhardt, she closely resembles a Crusader (Not the ones from Reinhardt's order, those are closer to Knights). That was one of the prime reason why the Nephalem Johanna approached her and tried to take her on as her apprentice. Unfortunately Brigitte already was under tutelage of someone else but both Brigitte and Johanna like to spar to see how much the former has improved and if she can measure to Johanna's power. |
| 489 | * While she usually plays a support role, [[CombatMedic she is very offensive oriented, more so than her master Reinhardt]]. [[Pantheon/GameCharacters Solaire]] saw potential in Brigitte for another potential recruit and has found out that she makes a perfect partner for his [[CoOpMultiplayer Jolly Co-Operation]]. |
| 490 | * Some people have trouble pronouncing her name correctly, even when writing it. She has tried her best to make others pronounce it as "Breh-GEET-uh" but not many have been able to quite grasp it yet. Some other jokers instead prefer to call her Baguette instead. |
| 491 | * Has been offered a spot alongside Reinhardt in the Pantheon/GUAGSacredKnights, but she is hesitant to join. It all depends on Reinhardt joining, who she might follow considering that Reinhardt wouldn't go far without her. |
| 492 | * ''"I will prove myself!"'' |

| 505 | * Enemies: [[Pantheon/{{Protagonists}} Laurie Strode]], [[Pantheon/FriendshipDynamicsAtoL The Green Flu Survivors (especially Bill)]], Ash Williams |
| 506 | * Evan [=MacMillan=] was the son of Archie [=MacMillan=], the head of the [=MacMillan=] Estate mining facility. He idolized his father and followed on his footsteps, doing even rather amoral things as his father's sanity started to decrease. One day his father asked him to trap hundred workers into the mines and trapped them in there, which he did. After which the fate of the [=MacMillan=] family is a mystery, with Evan gone and his father found dead. Now he is almost inhuman killer known as The Trapper. |
| 507 | * The Trapper, as a killer, is almost a lumbering giant, wielding a large cleaver made by hand and trying to track his next victim while blowing through most obstacles. However, in order to help himself to his victim, he is known to place around bear traps to catch any careless victim in place. He tends to scatter them around to any given area he might be in. |
| 508 | ** Just a note, but don't bother trying to trap him in a bear trap. [[Pantheon/PhysicalAppearance Junkrat]] thought it would be funny to trap him in one of his Steel Traps, but he broke out of one without any problem. His legs are too strong to be hindered by them too much. |
| 509 | * The Trapper actually serves a greater being called The Entity, an evil god who wish to torture any unfortunate souls who might come to its grasps while setting any victims to an eternal game of cat and mouse with its chosen killers. While The Entity's presence in the Pantheon is minuscular enough where it can't trap anyone in a GroundhogDayLoop, it is still capable to appearing if The Trapper gives it any offerings to torture the victim's soul before they are freed. However, this behaviour does hurt The Trapper bit, as he is compelled not to kill no one on the spot, instead carrying his victim to be hanged to any meathooks to be offered to his deity. That is, unless he doesn't make any particular offering before his hunt, then he can slice and dice his victim to pieces. |
| 510 | * Gets annoyed by The Butcher, as he seems to mistake his sacrifices on meathooks as "fresh meat", which just ruins everything. |
| 511 | * Not actually interested on capturing any bears with his traps unless they end up becoming his chosen victim. Of course that doesn't mean bears particularly like him. |
| 512 | * With his connection to the Pantheon, The Entity was able to make a surprising to move and pull Laurie Strode [[GuestFighter to have an extended role in its game]], alongside Michael Myers. She wasn't happy to be chased around by a entire group of psychos. |
| 513 | ** Apparently The Entity enjoyed the whole thing so much, it decided to pull Bill into one of it's games as well. Yes, not even the actual death has rest when The Entity is involved. |
| 514 | ** And after that, he decided to get Leatherface to join the fray. The gods are getting more and more wary about The Entity's influence as the time goes on. |
| 515 | * His temple has a basement where he tries to hang most of his victims. Whenever or not it is a [[FanNickname sex dungeon]] is unknown. |
| 516 | * [[MemeticMutation May or may not enjoy playing metal music when hunting down victims]]. |

| 530 | * Ascended around the same time as a reascended Usopp after his quest to become stronger and braver was complete. Both were placed in the House of Weapons, specifically to keep Zoro company and [[NoSenseOfDirection prevent him from getting lost]]. |
| 531 | ** In actuality, she took the opportunity of the momentary collective BSOD from the Council of Shadows to ascend after they were stunned that their plot to prevent Usopp's re-ascension and keep the entire Straw Hat Pirate crew from being unified was torpedoed to bits. |
| 532 | * Aside from using her natural beauty and body to her advantage, Nami is also an expert staff weapon user and now able to manipulate the weather to a certain extent through the use of her Clima Tact. [[spoiler:Now upgraded to the Sorcery Clima Tact which is far more powerful.]] |
| 533 | * While the Straw Hat Pirates are her natural world allies, she has also made friends within the House of Pantheon/{{Nature}} with Storm and Aang who interest her due to both their weather-controlling mutant and bending skills respectively (while they are likewise interested in the ability of her weather knowledge). |
| 534 | ** She also has made good friends with fellow staff user [[Franchise/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles Donatello]] whom she has friendly spars with whenever he visits the House of Weapons (which are the times he's railroaded into keeping an eye on Raphael as he tests his skills). |
| 535 | * Despite putting most of her thieving and wily nature behind her, she is sometimes asked to go on jobs with and by Catwoman and Black Cat, which she normally refuses unless the loot is pure cash.

| 555 | * A member of the Federal States of America's armed forces, Nathan Spencer had his left arm blown up while on deployment, forcing him off the battlefield... until the military's intelligence division, the Tactical Arms and Security Committee, needed a guinea pig for a bionic arm experiment. He became the first test subject for this experiment, and was given the code name "RAD #1" ("RAD" standing for "Research And Development"), which would stick as his nickname for years. While the limb was attached to him in its prototype phase, Spencer was deployed early as a Captain to go and rescue Joseph "Super Joe" Gibson, the first T.A.S.C. operative and the original Commando, who'd been captured by an enemy. The mission was a success, and he became known as the first Bionic Commando, with RAD and Super Joe training a new special ops force of Bionic Commandos that would become the greatest fighting force in his world. |
| 556 | * When brought into the Pantheon, he was one of many who competed for the GrapplingHookPistol position. Or, really, who ''would've'' competed for the position, except he was able to use his grappling hook to slap every other challenger's grappling gun out of their hand. After telling them to "swing now" after that, every challenger either angrily protested, shrugged and admitted defeat or hung his/her head in shame, before walking away. They are acknowledged as his followers. |
| 557 | * At one point, tensions between bionic-enhanced and normal humans would escalate to the point of violence, resulting in a purge of bionics which included Spencer being arrested and de-armed as a scapegoat. However, he was given his arm back along with the opportunity to clear his name and rescue his missing wife when a terrorist organization attacked with a WMD. Unfortunately... the leader of said terrorist organization was Super Joe himself, and Joe implied that his wife was used as a bonding component to make his arm resonate with him. Spencer, of course, stopped the organization and killed Joe personally. This is why Joe is not found in his temple as a Herald, as well as a large part of the reason he despises Albert Wesker (who pulled off a similar malevolent infiltration) and M. Bison (who employs ''many'' such traitors inside the military). |
| 558 | * His followers have a slight rivalry with [[Pantheon/{{Gaming}} Mario's]] followers over the superiority of swinging over jumping. This is because where most combatants would typically jump to avoid enemies or switch platforms, Spencer makes use of his grappling hook to swing his way around instead. Spider-Man is glad to have another ally he can relate to on the merits of swinging versus jumping. Batman, a fellow grappling hook user, finds the technology behind his arm impressive, though he thinks it could do without the gun. In fact, most of the allies Spencer has gravitated towards in the Pantheon make use of similar grappling tools and/or technological enhancements. |
| 559 | * Doesn't like it when people bring up the dreadlocks... or the moustache. Or speculate on what a Pantheon-tearing OMG WMD event it would be if Spencer's Bionic Arm ever clashed with [[Pantheon/RidingAndControl Captain Falcon]]'s Falcon Punch. Deadpool did this once and got a reaction from Spencer telling him to can it, to which he's persisted in trolling RAD ever since. Eventually, Spencer got irritated enough to swing for Deadpool's head, but the Merc with a Mouth quickly reacted with his own imitation of the Falcon Punch. While it didn't tear up the Pantheon, this did catch immediate notice of nearby spectators, especially as the start of a fight. Spencer promised to make Wade finally shut his mouth, while Deadpool's retort saw him accuse Nathan of [[VideoGame/MarvelVsCapcom3 defecating on the lawn outside his temple]] and swear this was his chance for real payback. Nobody knows what prompted the accusation or if there's any truth to it. Since it's [[UnreliableNarrator Deadpool]], there probably isn't. Not that it matters, since Spencer used his grappling hook to swat Deadpool's katanas out of his hands and then knocked him on his ass with the Bionic Arm before walking away. When asked about it later, Spencer not only called BS, he expressed surprise that ''Deadpool'' hasn't defecated on ''his'' lawn yet. |
| 560 | * Has felt cold chills whenever he's near the Winter Soldier, with many people pointing out numerous similarities from the military expertise to their metallic arms. Willing to challenge him, they duked it out in a one-on-one fight, with Spencer nearly winning, until Bucky [[NeverBringAKnifeToAGunFight decided to just whip out a pistol to finish the match]]. Even after the fight, Spencer still respected him, especially when Cap told him of Bucky's situation and how he's slowly working towards a heroic path. |

| 583 | * Recommended by both Black Canary and Batwoman, and sponsored by both Bruce Wayne and Oliver Queen, Tatsu Yamashiro has been cleared to join the Pantheon's ranks. Upon hearing about her ascension, Tatsu hitched a ride on a Wayne Enterprises helicopter, which took her to the Pantheon. |
| 584 | * Before taking up the blade, Tatsu was an ordinary [[YamatoNadeshiko Japanese housewife]], martial artist and mother to twin daughters ([[Series/{{Arrow}} or, according to Oliver Queen, a son]]). Then her Yakuza brother-in-law, Taeko, challenged her husband, Maseo for her hand, [[WhatDoesSheSeeInHim upset that she had chosen her brother over him]]. Tatsu loses not only her husband (whom Taeko had killed whilst distracted, slain by Soultaker, his brother's sword), but also her girls (when the house burned down) following the duel. Taeko himself [[HoistByHisOwnPetard would be killed by his own sword]] by Tatsu herself. After losing her family, she trained under Tadashi, a master samurai. Once her training was complete, she emigrated to America to start her career as a crimefighter. |
| 585 | * Her sword, Soultaker [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin is just as how the name describes]]. It is a samurai sword capable [[YourSoulIsMine of extracting the souls]] of those who had fallen by its blade. Among the souls in the sword is Tatsu's husband. |
| 586 | * The deified Shirai Ryu grandmaster, Hanzo Hasashi, can understand what Tatsu is going through. After all, he himself lost his wife and child to Quan Chi and he walked a path of vengeance. Granted that his former allies [[NiceJobBreakingItHero are stuck as revenants because of him]], he is an example to Tatsu of [[RevengeBeforeReason letting ones desire for vengeance overrides common sense]]. |
| 587 | * Kenshi is another, both having lost his lover and wielding a sentient weapon that holds the souls of his ancestors. He strikes up a friendship with Tatsu, but neither person are not attracted to the other, as they are loyal to their deceased lovers. |
| 588 | * Kano, on the other hand, wants to steal Soultaker from Tatsu...in order to test it's soul-stealing properties on Sonya, her ex-husband and daughter...that is, if he can get through her allies first. |
| 589 | * Wolverine had to do a double-take, as [[Creator/RilaFukushima one of]] [[Series/{{Arrow}} Katana's avatars]] looked a lot like his sidekick, Yukio [[Film/TheWolverine from his last trip to Japan]]. The fact that Tatsu is also skilled with the blade makes it even scarier. [[HilariousInHindsight Even funnier]] is that upon seeing the same avatar, both Varys and Tyrion Lannister thought that [[https://images.hellogiggles.com/uploads/2016/05/18062356/three2.jpg the Red Priestess that they had seen in Volantis]] had ascended. |
| 590 | * Just as The Phantom has an object hatred for ''all'' pirate deities, good and bad, the same can be said for Katana when it comes to any deities with connections to the [[{{Yakuza}} Japanese mob]]. While not all are bad guys, the wounds in Katana's soul run deep. |
| 591 | * [[Creator/StephanieSheh For some strange reason]], Tatsu is friends with Naruto's wife, Hinata Hyuga.

| 592 | ** Same can be said about Luke and Jessica Cage, given their past confrontations with the Purple Man. |
| 593 | * Her interactions with [[Series/{{Arrow}} Oliver Queen]] leaves much to be desired. She doesn't like the guy, but she also doesn't hate him to the point that she doesn't leave him to die following his fight with Ra's al Ghul, but tends to his injuries. |
| 594 | * It is said that she supposedly mentored Saeko Busujima in the art of swordplay. Both Saeko and Tatsu deny the claim, yet Saeko sees the older woman as a WorthyOpponent. |
| 595 | * Katana is well-aware of her exploits being portrayed on [[Series/{{Arrow}} the small screen]]. While she praised [[Creator/RilaFukushima for a job well done]], she is holding judgement [[Film/SuicideSquad2016 in regards to her time with the Suicide Squad]], even if that made her closer to Harley Quinn and Deadshot. |
| 596 | * Has gotten along with The Female of the Species, as both have some similar background and [[Creator/KarenFukuhara look similar to each other]]. Tatsu even managed to get sympathy from the rest of The Boys given her tragic background and the fact she's not a superheroine, but a BadassNormal. |

| 611 | * Where PileBunker might be a common weapon amongst mechas and powered armours (take [[Pantheon/MannersOfSurvival Kyosuke Nanbu]] and his Alt Eisen Riese for example), it doesn't mean a normal human cannot wield one. Take Zenia Valov for example, a Russian woman with amnesia who has a pile bunker built into a gauntlet and nothing else mechanical about her.

| 639 | * Opposes: [[Pantheon/CompetitorsAndContenders Darjeeling]] |
| 640 | * Generalfeldmarschall Franz Vahlen was a veteran of UsefulNotes/WorldWarI, having been an advocate of the DeadlyGas used in the trenches. Thanks to this, he was infamous amongst Allied intelligence during the Interwar Period, and cosequently, was easy to track down compared to most of his peers. In mid-1942, following the fall of Tobruk, Allied intelligence was able to find out that he had recently been assigned to the North African Theater of War in an unknown command. Seeing him as a threat, they assigned then-SOE agent Lt. Karl Fairburne, who had managed to survive the Tobruk Siege, to gather intel on his plans, bases of operations, etc. |
| 641 | * What Karl found at locations such as at Gaberoun, Siwa, and from Allied informants like Brauer, revealed two words: "Project Seuche", or "Project Plague" when translated into English. It was ultimately revealed that this was the construction and eventual mass production of a Super Heavy Tank called the Landkreuzer P.1000 Ratte, an upscaled version of the already formidable Tiger I heavy tank. While formidable, with virtually impenetrable armor and equally impressive firepower for its time, it was also very costly and time consuming to produce. Production of the first prototype was, in fact, behind schedule, with Vahlen desperately trying to finish it in time to see combat against the Allies in Tunisia. |
| 642 | * What's more, it was also revealed that, through mass production of the Ratte, Vahlen was [[RogueSoldier intending to eventually overthrow Rommel and eventually Hitler]] once victory in North Africa is assured. And, in order to keep the Ratte a secret, Vahlen had also ordered the execution of Allied [=POWs=] [[HeKnowsTooMuch who knew too much about the project]]. What's more, [[BadBoss he's also been ordering the execution of several of his own men as well]]. These actions of his were so heinous, in fact, that several German and Italian officers [[EvenEvilHasStandards had gotten so sick of Vahlen that they were planning on reporting him and his actions to Berlin]]. All of these factors caused the increasingly paranoid German General to begin having a drawn-out VillainousBreakdown, while also becoming [[ImplementingTheIncomplete increasingly desperate to push the incomplete Ratte prototype out]], even forcing his men to work around the clock and cut corners in producing the components. |
| 643 | * Ultimately, Vahlen's ambitions of conquest and power were for naught. Following Karl's discovery at Kasserine Pass, Vahlen's last line of supply at Pont du Fahs Airfield was destroyed and captured, and the Ratte Factory housing the prototype and production facilities was blown to the ground. Vahlen himself would end up executed by Lt. Karl Fairburne himself, no thanks to Vahlen being partially responsible for his friend Brauer's untimely death, and for [[YourApprovalFillsMeWithShame claiming Karl]] of being an AxCrazy BloodKnight like Vahlen himself. |
| 644 | * Vahlen somehow ended up in the Pantheon not long after his execution by the Desert Ghost, having somehow found himself alive and well in the ruins of the Ratte Factory. Not wasting any time, he tries to look for a working radio in the ruined facility, which he manages to find. Eventually, he manages to succeed in contacting [[Pantheon/AdministrativeCenters Berlin]], who promptly send an expedition to meet up with the General. The men tasked with greeting Vahlen are none other than Dr. Rene Belloq and Gestapo Agent Arnold Ernst Toht, who have previously been assigned to another part of North Africa. Upon meeting the Afrika Korps General, Vahlen gives the two men the location of the Ratte Factory, as well as some of the Ratte's blueprints and a map of the facility to prove his claims as genuine. |
| 645 | * With help from the expedition, Vahlen is able to recover both the original Ratte prototype, the factory's surviving components and machinery, and even several more blueprints that survived the factory's destruction. Upon further analysis of the wreck, Vahlen concludes that attempting to restore it to working order would be futile, and instead orders that the tank's weapons, factory components and machinery, and surviving blueprints be sent back to Berlin, with the responsibility of the wrecked Ratte prototype handed over to Belloq as a prize. The French archaeologist ultimately settles with having the Ratte prototype wreck sent to Pantheon/TheGreatTreasury, with Belloq himself credited as the discoverer, partly to prove himself better than Dr. Jones, and partly to keep Vahlen's ascension a secret from Germany's enemies. |
| 646 | * Upon arrival in Berlin, Vahlen begins briefing his fellow Nazis regarding his role during the North African campaign and about Project Seuche. Johann Schmidt, head of HYDRA, is impressed with Vahlen's story, even sympathizing with the Afrika Korps General's opinions on Hitler. Thanks to this, he allows Vahlen to build a second Ratte prototype, complete with help from both HYDRA's scientists and Wilhelm Strasse. He even gives the General the Reich's occupied territories in North Africa, making Vahlen the military governor of the region. Having liked Schmidt's own negative opinions of the Third Reich and Hitler, he ends up swearing allegiance to HYDRA as well, although unlike his peers, he decides to stay within the ''Heer'' command structure, rather than become an SS General. He is then officially inaugurated as the '''God of [[AwesomeButImpractical Awesome, but Impractical Designs]]'''. |
| 647 | * It's through this meeting in Berlin that Vahlen finally meets General Heinz Böhm, another enemy of Lt. Karl Fairburne, in person. During 1943, Vahlen's own son, Lt. Ernst Vahlen, was one of Böhm's own men. Through their mutual hatred of The Desert Ghost/The Shadow, they begin coordinating with one another with regards to running their forces in the Mediterranean Region, with Vahlen commanding ''Heer'' units and Böhm command various ''Luftwaffe'' units and squadrons. It's also through Böhm that Vahlen is introduced to several of Germany's Italian Allies, in this case The Four Libertines. Unsurprisingly, Vahlen takes a liking to the four men, given his track record of war crimes committed, as well as the fact that he's worked alongside Italian Forces during the North African campaign himself. Both he and Böhm make plans to capture Fairburne, and then have him tortured by the Libertines as revenge for killing both of them and foiling their plans in the past. |
| 648 | * Aside from Lt. Karl Fairburne, a few other veterans of the North African campaign end up becoming the General's enemies, such as Sgt. John Davis, Tank Commander David Welsh, and Lt. Mike Powell, especially after they learn of Vahlen's poor treatment of Allied [=POWs=], something that doesn't sit well with Davis and Powell. A few other enemies he ends up making in the Pantheon include Indiana Jones and B.J. Blaskowicz, no thanks to Vahlen himself already having made close friends with both of their arch-enemies. This growing list of enemies forces Vahlen to always be accompanied by a platoon of Valkyrie Jager soldiers, who are essentially better-trained and better equipped versions of the same Fallschirmjager that had been under his command in North Africa. |
| 649 | * Outside of his time period, Vahlen ends up becoming interested regarding the [[Anime/MobileSuitGundam One Year War]] that had taken place in an alternate Earth, specifically, the various prototypes constructed by the Principality of Zeon. Much like his own Ratte, many of these Zeon Mobile Suits and Mobile Armors were highly advanced and state of the art for their time, but were also too expensive to mass produce. To no one's surprise, he ends up admiring both the Zabi Family (sans Mineva) and Anavel Gato, particularly Dozle Zabi's Big Zam and Gato's Neue Zeil. He eventually plans on making contact with them, in the hopes that he can acquire Zeon technology and merge it with what's available in HYDRA's and Nazi Germany's own arsenals. |
| 650 | * Thanks to his obsession with advanced German tank designs, Vahlen becomes interested in the martial art of ''Sensha-Do'', or Tankery. After finding out about the presence of deities practicing this martial art, he ends up spectating various matches between the different teams, ultimately settling with a favorite: none other than Maho Nishizumi, who commands a Tiger I tank not unlike the ones he had commanded in North Africa. In addition, he also takes a piqued interest in the Oarai Girls' Academy Anglerfish Team, noting them to be extremely skilled in tank-on-tank combat. On the other hand, he dislikes Darjeeling, mainly due to the fact that her school and team prefer British tanks similar to the ones his own troops faced in North Africa. One thing's for sure, though. All of the Tankery practitioners find it weird that a high-ranking Nazi General is observing them so intricately during their matches. This also helps to show the girls who exactly the various Allied deities who had accidentally "disrupted" their matches previously are fighting against. |

| 692 | * If K-Sha isn't in her temple, then she's either A: On a mission with Solid Snake or Raiden, B: training Noel Vermillion so she can become better at fighting with dual handguns or C: Fighting Revy as K-Sha enjoys fighting her due to the both of them using the same weapon. |
| 693 | * Due to K-Sha being the personification of the company that makes Yu-Gi-Oh cards, K-Sha is friends with other Yu-Gi-Oh players in the Pantheon. |
| 694 | * Gold Third get along well with Domon Kasshu due to him turning his Gundam gold in its SuperMode. |

| 719 | * Heralds: [[VideoGame/BrothersInArms Panzergrenadiers]], [[VideoGame/SniperElite5 Heer Jagers, Ausland SD Jagers]] |
| 720 | * The elite paratrooper branch of the German Luftwaffe during UsefulNotes/WorldWarII, the Jager Troops are some of Nazi Germany's most skilled and battle-hardended soldiers. Compared to the Heer Infanterie, their regular German Army counterparts, they're far better trained and equipped, have access to more automatic weaponry, and are composed entirely of volunteers rather than conscripts. While normally deployed via airborne and gliderborne operations, by the latter half of the European War, these troops would be deployed as regular infantrymen instead following heavy losses sustained during the Invasion of Crete in 1941. Despite this, they were still trained as paratroopers, and could perform Airborne operations and drops when needed. |
| 721 | * Within their echleons, Jagers have several variants. These include: the Support Jager, armed with machine guns such as the MG 42 and FG 42, and the Vampir Jager, who are equipped with special nightvision equipment and accompanying battery packs. What's more, there also exist the Valkyrie Jager, a unit composed of the best Jager Troops, and wearing their own unique black uniforms. Their members are all essentially elite variants of the regular Infantry and Jager Troops as well as the TargetSpotter class, carrying mostly the same weaponry as their regular Infantry and Jager counterparts. However, certain members of the Valkyrie, such as their Officers, Snipers, and Faust Troopers, carry better weaponry such as the Mauser [=M712=] machine pistol and Swedish Mauser SniperRifle, while the latter are equipped with SuperPrototype AntiInfantry rocket launchers called the Neunfaust. |
| 722 | * Thanks to their rather diverse weapon loadout, plus access to more advanced weaponry than many of their peers in the ''Heer'' and ''Waffen-SS'', Jager Troops have been known to outgun any and all Allied soldiers and Resistance fighters they come across. Thus, when an entire unit of Jager Troops is defending a German-held position, odds are that the position in question is a highly vital chokepoint such as a supply base, research facility, or wonderweapon production line. Unfortunately, because of this style of deployment, there were never enough Jager Troops to go around, particularly when they were tasked with defending frontline sectors. |
| 723 | * During Lt. Karl Fairburne's tours of duty in North Africa, Italy, and France, he would encounter the Jager Troops on numerous occasions, both at or near the frontline, or guarding [=VIP=]s and/or important military/research facilities. |
| 724 | ** General Franz Vahlen, head of Project ''Seuche'', utilized these German Paratroopers as EliteMooks, tasked with guarding his headquarters at Kasserine Pass, the Pont du Fahs Airfield, and defending the Ratte Factory. In addition, several platoons of Jagers also aided the Schutzvollstrecker in their ultimately unsuccessful AssassinationAttempt on British Prime Minister Winston Churchill. |
| 725 | ** General Heinz Böhm, the commander of the Axis Forces in the Allagra region of Southern Italy, commanded several companies of Jager Troops, and deployed them against the Italian Partisan groups operating the region, as well as having them guard important facilities and personnel (among which included Böhm's own mountain fortress). |
| 726 | ** To protect important personnel related to the "Deathstorm" Program as well as protect the Italian Social Republic from increasingly persistent Partisan activity, the Valkyrie Jager were deployed in early 1944 to select locations. Karl Fairburne would end up clashing with soldiers from this unit twice. The first would be in Southern Italy, after luring a squad of Valkyries into an ambush and wiping them out. The second, and final, time would be in Southern Germany, with bulk of their forces protecting the "Deathstorm" prototype and personnel. The unit would ultimately be wiped out by Karl Fairburne as well as the explosion of the "Deathstorm" warheads. |
| 727 | ** In early 1944, Fairburne would once again encounter the Jager Troops in France, helping to defend against the Allied invasion forces, guard a number of military headquarters and facilities, both in Germany and in different parts of France. In addition to the Fallschirmjagers (German Paratroopers), Fairburne would also encounter ''Heer" (German Army) Jagers and their Waffen SS counterparts, the Ausland SD. Compared to their counterparts in Italy and North Africa, these troops are more competent in hand-to-hand combat, [[KungFuProofMook and thus able to counter most melee attacks from the front]]. |
| 728 | * The Jager Troops that would end up in the Pantheon are none other than the German Fallschirmjager, German Paratroopers established by and under the command of Germany's Air Force, the Luftwaffe. Originally, only the Valkyrie Jager, the most elite of the Jager, were ascended into the Pantheon. These troops were, much like in their original universe, tasked with guarding important German military bases, research facilities, and [=VIP=]s (which include high-ranking Axis officers and scientists). However, due to the growing influx of Western Allied and Soviet presence in the Pantheon, German infantry who could protect the Reich-controlled sections of the Pantheon were in increasingly in demand. And so, following the Heer's, Waffen-SS's, and Kriegsmarine's expansions in the Pantheon, it was also decided to expand the German Luftwaffe's ground forces as well. |
| 729 | ** An entire regiment of German Paratroopers were ascended as part of this effort, reinforcing the company-sized Valkyrie Jager already deployed in the Pantheon. The two units would then be combined into a single Division-sized unit, with the combined Jager Troops receiving the title of '''Unholy Legion of [[TheEnemyWeaponsAreBetter Better-Equipped Enemy Forces]]'''. This title is thanks in no part to being equipped with the most advanced weapons that Nazi Germany has to offer, which include automatic rifles like the [=Mkb=] 42 (H), its successor, the STG 44, and the FG 42, machine guns like the MG 42, and semiautomatic rifles like the Gewehr 43. These weapons were on par with or superior to their Allied counterparts, often featuring higher magazine capacities, faster rates of fire, were generally lighter, and had more customizability options. The Valkyrie Jager, on the other hand, also wielded a number of custom and SuperPrototype weaponry, which included the Mauser [=M712=] machine pistol, sniper variants of the Swedish Mauser, and, most notably, the Neunfaust launcher, an AntiInfantry variant of the Fleigerfaust launcher capable of destroying lightly armored vehicles. |
| 730 | * While they were only shown deployed as conventional infantry in their home universe, in the Pantheon, the Fallschirmjagers are deployed both in the conventional infantry role as well as being deployed by both parachute and glider, allowing them to launch surprise attacks even in Allied or neutral territories. This is thanks to more competent German commanders like Johann Schmidt and Wilhelm "Deathshead" Strasse being in command of the German Forces deployed in the Pantheon, and seeing their full potential for both special operations as well as frontline fighting. Strasse in particular admired the Fallschirmjager thanks in large part to having worked alongside the Waffen-SS's own paratroopers, the Black Guard, in his own universe. Deathshead himself has, in fact, a platoon of Valkyrie Jager under his personal command, to serve as part of his personal Commando force. |
| 731 | * With this arrival of fresh reinforcements, the Jagers, now operating as a much larger force, began defending German and Axis-held areas of the Pantheon from Allied and Soviet attacks. While the Valkyries, not unlike in their home universe, focus mainly on protecting [=VIP=]s and top-secret German military and research facilities, the regular Jagers, in addition to protecting Luftwaffe headquarters and airbases, are also deployed close to or on the frontline. While under the overall command of Luftwaffe General Heinz Böhm(who also commands the German Forces in the Italian Theater of the Pantheon), they're also placed under the command of other German officers in the other occupied Reich territories. Jagers operating in North Africa are placed under the command of General Franz Vahlen, while units operating in France operate under the supervision of Obbergruppenfuhrer Abelard Moller. |
| 732 | ** Amongst the [=VIP=]s that the Jagers have been tasked with guarding include: The Four Libertines, Italian Fascists and close allies of the Nazis, scientists and officers of HYDRA, Lt. Col. Arnold Berkman, a former Germanian Army officer who has since decided to work closely with his new Nazi and HYDRA allies, and Sophie, the White Witch revived for the Germanian Empire who, like Berkman, has decided to throw in her lot with the Nazis for the sake of revenge against Eylstadt. Most of these deities [[BodyguardingABadass arguably don't need their protection due to being far more powerful than the German Paratroopers]]. However, due to a number of them having already been killed or nearly killed in the past in their home universes, having additional men to protect these [=VIP=]s is necessary in order to avoid a repeat. |
| 733 | * In war-torn areas such as the outskirts of Omaha Beach, the German-occupied areas in and around Eindhoven and Hell's Highway, in the mountains and countrysides of Eylstadt, and even in Berlin itself, the Fallschirmjager would fight alongside their Heer Infanterie and Waffen-SS counterparts. Fighting constantly against both Western Allied and Soviet forces, the German Paratroopers' nickname of "The Green Devils" would soon be proven true once more. Compared to their aforementioned counterparts in the German Army and Waffen-SS, the Jagers were a cut above them, possessing not only comparable or superior weapons and equipment but also superior training, combat experience, and weapons handling. |
| 734 | ** Against most Soviet, British, and regular American infantry units, the Jagers were able to inflict heavy casualties on their adversaries. Even Rangers and Paratroopers, the US Army's best infantry units, were given a run for their money. Sergeants Matthew Baker and Joe Hartsock and the men from their squads, having already fought Fallschirmjagers in France and the Netherlands, were less than pleased at having to run into these German units again. The same sentiment was shared by Easy Company, who had fought the Green Devils in and around Carentan following the D-Day landings and were now encountering them once more in the Pantheon. |
| 735 | ** That said, while offering a difficult challenge to most Allied troops, they in turn were bested by some of the best agents that the Allied Forces had to offer. The aforementioned Lt. Karl Fairburne, having already fought against entire battalions of Jagers in North Africa, Italy, and France, knew all of their tactics, weapons, and how they were deployed. Manon Batiste, having fought Fallschirmjager during the Battle of Monte Cassino, employed her skills in guerilla warfare and sabotage against the Jager Troops, managing to destroy a number of their ammunition supplies and armored support once more. William J. Blazkowicz, being the OneManArmy he is, could wipe the floor with them, being able to outclass them in any firefight or stealth mission, no thanks to having ascended into the Pantheon with his new SuperSoldier body. Steve Rogers, thanks in no part to the super soldier serum, could throw the Jagers and the equipment around like ragdolls. Even a number of US Airborne troops like the aforementioned Easy Company, Baker, Hartsock, Paddock, Jasper, and Conner, could still defeat them in a prolonged firefight, thanks to their tactics and superior teamwork. |
| 736 | * Thanks to the presence of organizations like HYDRA and officers like the aforementioned Wilhelm "Deathshead" Strasse, certain Fallschirmjager units, the Valkyries in particular, would also receive more advanced weaponry than the ones they were already issued with. Many of these were Deathshead's own weapons designs from the 1946 of his home universe, being improvements of existing German small arms. Some units, however, have been equipped with prototypes of Deathshead's far more advanced weapons designs from the 1960 where [[AlternateHistoryNaziVictory the Nazis won World War II]]. These troops are particularly dangerous, as the weapons and technology they carry, some of which include completely new designs like the Laserkraftwerk, easily outgun the vast majority of Allied units, and are even capable of threatening deities of up to Intermediate level when used correctly. Neutralizing these troops and capturing or destroying their weapons has, in fact, become a top priority. Mass production of these advanced weapons would and could potentially give the Nazis a chance at turning the stalemate that is the ForeverWar between them and the Allies in the Pantheon into yet another slaughter and potential victory, and, thanks to Blazkowicz's own experiences, the Allies in the Pantheon have made sure not to give the Nazis any chance to mass produce this technology. |
| 737 | * Thanks in no part to their status as elite troops as well as their competency on the battefield, the Jagers are also being utilized in a number of other roles aside from conventional Airborne and Infantry operations. These operations are mainly top secret in nature, and often involve them operating alongside other elite Axis units from the Heer and Waffen-SS. |
| 738 | ** Alongside the Schutzvollstrecker, platoons of Jagers and Valkyries have been deployed within the Principality of Eylstadt following its retaking by Izetta and the Allied Forces assisting her. Knowing that they can't fight a conventional war due to the White Witch's power, they instead fight a protracted guerilla war, performing their own espionage and sabotage missions well behind the frontlines. These have mainly involved the destruction of important railway hubs, road networks, and communications centers. However, should the opportunity present itself, their mission would also involve performing or assisting the Schutzvollstrecker in an AssassinationAttempt or [[StraightForTheCommander kidnapping attempt]] on the Archduchess of Eylstadt, Ortfine Fredericka von Eylstadt, who by this point has been targeted no less than four times by the Germanians and later the Nazis. |
| 739 | ** With the revival of Operation ''Kraken'' well underway in the Pantheon, the Jagers have once again been called into action to not only help guard the V2 rocket testing facilities, U-boat pens, and shipyards needed for the operation, but also to now be part of the now-expanded force of German saboteurs and spies intent on infiltrating other Houses in the Pantheon and wreaking havoc there. A number of them have also been deployed aboard the operation's flagship, a ''Graf Zeppelin''-class aircraft carrier, in order to prevent its sabotage and destruction by any deities who oppose them. |

| 766 | * Rivals: [[Pantheon/LifeAndVitality Kane]], [[Pantheon/AntiVillains Kuvira]] |
| 767 | * By 1944, Nazi Germany, having lost several decisive campaigns in North Africa, Italy, and the Eastern Front, were being driven into a corner. With France and Western Europe being the most likely target for the next Allied attack, the Axis were desperate for anything that could turn the tide of the war back in their favor. The same was true on the other side of the globe, with the Empire of Japan being slowly squeezed out of the South and Central Pacific by the Allies, with their own fleet suffering heavy and irreplaceable losses. |
| 768 | ** Enter Obbergruppenfuhrer Abelard Moller, an officer in the SS with tons of connections in both Nazi Germany and Imperial Japan. Using these connections, plus a ton of Germany's remaining resources, scientific research, and brand-new wonderweapons, Moller came up with an EvilPlan for just this situation...Operation ''Kraken''. The plan called for the Kriegsmarine, Schutzstaffel, and Imperial Japanese Navy to utilize their various {{Secret Weapon}}s together to launch a SneakAttack on the mainland United States. |
| 769 | ** The {{Secret Weapon}}s in question that would be utilized by ''Kraken'' would include: stealth-plated Type VII U-boats, special launchers for the V2 rocket that would allow the rockets to be launched offshore from a submarine, modified V2 rockets that had a longer range, and finally, stealth-plated I-400 class submarines. The last one is of particular note, as these were the Imperial Japanese Navy's largest and heaviest submarines ever built, and Moller was able to procure three of these behemoths for the operation. |
| 770 | ** In addition to these wonderweapons, various German troops from different branches would also be involved, namely those from the Kriegsmarine and Waffen-SS. In the former's case, they were mainly various officers and sailors, mostly U-boat commanders and crewmen, while in the latter's case the soldiers and officers hailed from the Ausland SD, the SS Intelligence Agency. Compared to their Kriegsmarine counterparts, these men were [[EliteMooks far better trained and equipped with better weaponry]], the reason for this being that these same men would be deployed as English-speaking spies. These latter troops were also equal to their German Fallschirmjager counterparts. |
| 771 | * Unfortunately for Moller and his associates, the French Resistance, OSS, and SOE learned of the Operation just before it was to push through. Lt. Karl Fairburne, with help from French Resistance operatives and the US Army Rangers, managed to eliminate several of the officers involved, stole the intelligence on where their bases were, where and when they were going to strike, and raided the facilities used to produce and test the equipment for the operation. Worse still, the Allied Invasion of France on June 6, 1944 happened at around the same time, forcing Moller and his group to hasten preparations despite their supply lines getting cut off. |
| 772 | * Ultimately, despite coming close to launching their attack, Operation ''Kraken'' was cut short, when Lt. Karl Fairburne, the US Army Rangers, and the French Resistance managed to capture their main base of operations, the French port of St. Nazaire and destroy all of the stealth-plated submarines that were to be used in the operation. Moller's Japanese allies were also killed, including their highest-ranking officer, Shinji Yoshikawa. Moller himself, in an attempt to prevent himself from either getting sacked or executed [[YouHaveFailedMe for his failures]], attempted to [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere leave France]], only for Karl and the French Resistance to finally assassinate him. And thus, Operation ''Kraken'' was finally put down for good. Worse still, many of the SecretWeapon blueprints that Moller and his Japanese allies had carried were now in Allied hands, courtesy of Lt. Fairburne. |
| 773 | ** A few months after the disaster at St. Nazaire, the German High Command decided to push through with ''Kraken'' again. They ordered Vogel, Moller's direct subordinate, to relaunch the Project with the remaining resources on-hand (including an incomplete fleet aircraft carrier), hastily revising it to be a conventional air and sea attack against the US East Coast. But despite the Nazis' attempts to keep the project top-secret, Lt. Karl Fairburne was able to retrieve intelligence pertaining to the renewed Project. With this new batch of intel, Fairburne was able to once again stop ''Kraken'' dead in its tracks, with Vogel, the Project's last high-ranking officer, dead, and the aircraft carrier and remaining stealth-plated Type VII U-boats blown to smithereens. |
| 774 | * While a complete failure militarily and strategically, this was not the end of Abelard Moller and Friedrich Vogel nor their ambitious EvilPlan...In the Pantheon, Moller's advanced weapons projects garnered the interest of Wilhelm "Deathshead" Strasse, one of the Nazis' highest ranking Generals currently in the Pantheon. He also happened to be responsible for helping Johann Schmidt expand and rearm the German Armed Forces into a force capable of conquering the Pantheon. Upon finding the details of Operation ''Kraken'', particularly the advanced technology used and its rather ambitious goals, Deathshead decided that they were worth ascending to bolster their forces. Rather than ascend Moller solo, however, Strasse saw fit to ascend ''the entire Operation'' into the Pantheon, complete with their wonderweapons, production facilities, and major bases of operation. |
| 775 | * And so, Moller and his entire entourage were brought into the Pantheon as they had looked in early 1944, complete with all of their bases and production facilities located in Northern France. Unsurprisingly, Moller was still angry at Vogel [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere for abandoning him just as the Operation had been thwarted]], while Yoshikawa in turn was angry at Moller for letting their brand-new advanced submarines get destroyed easily. Ultimately, they were able to settle their differences after they were briefed by their new allies in the Pantheon, specifically Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto and Johann Schmidt. Both the German and Japanese officers told their newly-ascended allies that they would be allowed to push through with repeating Operation ''Kraken'' in the Pantheon, now with the full backing of both the Imperial Japanese and German militaries as well as the Waffen-SS. In essence, this means that all of their projects would not only be rebuilt or ascended alongside them completely, but would also be expanded and upgraded with the help of other deities affiliated with the Germans or Japanese. |
| 776 | * Upon Moller and his entourage receiving the title of '''Unholy Legion of {{Secret Weapon}}s''', they soon got to work reestablishing their Operation. With their bases and facilities ascended alongside them, both the Kriegsmarine and Waffen-SS members of the Operation soon begin cooperating with the German Luftwaffe's Nemesis Squadron, Lt. Col. Arnold Berkman, Wilhelm "Deathshead" Strasse, and Baron Rudolf von Sturmgeist. Thanks to Berkman's notes on [[Pantheon/MaximumSecurity Hexenium]] and Deathshead's advanced tech and weapon blueprints, the V2 rockets used by the ''Kraken'' group are upgraded to have longer range, and a far more powerful payload equivalent to that of an atomic bomb. Sophie, the White Witch, who had helped Berkman harness this crystallized magical energy, plans on using these improved V2 rockets to hit [[Pantheon/FictionalSettings the Principality of Eylstadt]] with these rockets, in order to eliminate its capital Landsbruck off the map. In addition, the stealth-plated Type VII U-boats were upgraded further, receiving the latest of Deathshead's 1946-era technology, allowing them to attack Allied shipping in addition to their original goal of transporting German troops and spies undetected. As for the Japanese I-400 class submarines, they were also upgraded by Strasse, with them receiving practically the same treatment as their German counterparts. And finally, the German aircraft carrier, rebuilt and restored from the ground-up, was not only completed and made fully operational, but was also given a complement of brand-new and more advanced navalized aircraft, both propeller and jet-powered. |
| 777 | * Aside from continuing with their EvilPlan to attack the rest of the Allied-controlled sectors of the Pantheon with the now-upgraded V2 rockets, stealth-plated submarines, and English-speaking German spies, the Operation ''Kraken'' members have also been assisting their other Nazi German and Imperial Japanese allies in carrying out other operations. |
| 778 | ** Both the Stealth-plated U-boats and I-400 submarines have been utilized by the Nemesis Squadron to ship several of Deathshead's blueprints and advanced weapons components to several of the IJN's bases of operation, just as Nemesis had done in their own world beforehand. The German and Japanese submarines themselves have also been used by the Axis to attack Allied merchant shipping and warships, severely damaging or sinking several ships in the process. The same applies to the German aircraft carrier, which can carry far more supplies and aircraft to Japanese bases around the Pantheon. Thanks to the Germans' inexperience in handling carrier operations, the Japanese Naval elements in the Pantheon have been assisting their Kriegsmarine counterparts in training, fleet formations, and DamageControl, with the Germans also lending their new carrier to operate alongside it's Japanese counterparts against US and British naval forces. |
| 779 | ** One lesser-known operation that ''Kraken'' has been assisting are serving as transports for Dr. Rene Belloq and his Nazi assistant Arnold Ernst Toht. While the Nazis in the Pantheon are mainly focused on creating [[StupidJetpackHitler advanced scientific breakthroughs and weaponry]], a small number of Nazis such as the Milleneum organization and the LDO are more focused on [[{{Ghostapo}} exploiting the supernatural]]. As such, the retrieval of various artifacts has been approved by both groups, with Toht and Belloq receiving a generous amount of "donations" from them for this task. The ''Kraken'' bases , particularly Beaumont St. Denis and the U-boat pens at St. Nazaire, have been used to store a number of artifacts, with the former being used for the occasional ritual. |
| 780 | ** Moller himself, having helped govern Northern France prior to the Normandy landings, has once again helped the Nazis retain their strongholds in the Pantheon, by taking out suspected Allied collaborators and helping strengthen defenses near [[Pantheon/FictionalSettings Omaha Beach]]. With proper Heer Infanterie support now available to him, Moller has them set up a defense in-depth around the beach, with them regularly shelling any Allied units attempting to reinforce and resupply through there. This ends up slowing down Allied advances, as the latter are forced to get most of their supplies through the beach. |
| 781 | * Unsurprisingly, this amount of increased Nazi German and Imperial Japanese activity has attracted the attention of Allied leadership, particularly that of President Franklin D. Roosevelt and Fleet Admiral Chester W. Nimitz. With the Japanese successfully receiving more shipments of advanced German weapons, and the ''Kraken'' fleet having the potential to wreak havoc on several Allied cities at the same time, stopping them has become a major priority. So much so, that in addition to elements of the US Army being tasked to stop them, several US Navy and USMC components have also been called up to destroy any and all ''Kraken'' U-boats and Japanese submarines on sight. |
| 782 | ** Among the latter include the PBY Catalina Black Cat Mantaray 5-4, Lt. Cdr. Dick Best and Sgt. Thomas Conlin's squad with their SBD Dauntless dive bombers. They're also backed up by the Battlehawks, the GoodCounterpart and ArchEnemy of the Nemesis Squadron, in carrying out this order to sink all ''Kraken'' submarines on sight. In the case of the latter, they assist their USN and USMC allies by providing them with valuable fighter escort and additional firepower, namely with various USAAF and USN types such as the [=F4F=] Wildcat, P-38 Lightning, and P-51 Mustang. |
| 783 | ** Thanks to Lt. Karl Fairburne's previous work in taking down the Operation back in June 1944 of his world, not to mention managing to capture most if not all of the vital intel linked to it, the Allies have a much better idea of what they're facing. Fairburne himself has been tasked by President Roosevelt to take down Moller and his cohorts once again when given the opportunity, as well as help direct and lead a number of US Rangers, specifically Lt. Mike Powell, Dog Company, and Charlie Company, all from the 2nd Ranger Battalion, in a second on raid on St. Nazaire. |
| 784 | * With his predecessors General Franz Vahlen and General Heinz Böhm also ascended in the Pantheon and continuing work on their own wonderweapons projects, Abelard Moller has decided to team up with his fellow Nazi officers in both helping their new fellow Axis allies conquer the Pantheon, and to take down Lt. Karl Fairburne once and for all. Moller himself, in addition to being a target of Fairburne, has also become targeted by various other deities both Allied and non-aligned. Among them include the Basterds, a group of OSS agents with a penchant for hunting Nazis who succeeded in assassinating their universe's version of Hitler, and Captain William J. Blazkowicz, a famed NaziHunter, Army Captain, and Resistance leader known for having assassinated numerous Nazis including his ArchEnemy Wilhelm "Deathsead" Strasse. Unsurprisingly, despite his improved and increased security within the Pantheon, Moller ultimately remains as much of a NervousWreck as he was back in his home universe, with him constantly being worried about his plan failing once more, or being killed or thwarted by Fairburne and his new allies. |
| 785 | ** With his involvement in the defense of Occupied France against Allied Forces, Moller has also earned the ire of various American and British units that were involved in the fighting there, namely those from the 101st Airborne Division and British 7th Armored Division as well as the aforementioned members of the 2nd Ranger Battalion. In fact, Moller's chateau has been repeatedly raided by the likes of Staff Sergeant Joe Hartsock and Sgt. Franklin Paddock in an attempt to help stop the Operation, with the former having had prior experience in raiding similar chateaus for intel. These efforts prove unsuccessful, however, as Moller makes it a point to move out of the chateau after Fairburne had raided the compound twice, the second time resulting in his assassination and death. |
| 786 | ''"Our hour of triumph is at hand . Like the mythical beast of legend, the Kraken shall rise from the ocean, and rain destruction upon the heads of our despised enemies - in America! Their great cities - Boston, New York, Washington - will fall before the might of the Kraken. The action we take today, will be remembered for all time. We will turn the tide of war back in our favor and grant the Reich total victory over all who dare stand against us!"'' |

| 801 | * Almost immediately after her father ascended, she appeared in the Pantheon, reasoning that if she hadn't heard from him in the past hour, the odds were that he had probably drank himself silly and destroyed something. As it turned out, she was spot on and she ended up dragging him out of the House of Food, completely hammered and having wrecked most everything breakable in the place. She dragged him back to his seat in the House of Combat and was deified directly afterwards, for the express reason of keeping him in line. Like most things, she approaches this dutifully. |
| 802 | * She often ends up sparring with her friend Guan Yinping since her normal sparring partner, Yinping's brother Ping, has not ascended. Yinping's strength makes her a great opponent, but Xingcai has been trying to teach her some discipline to better control it. |
| 803 | ** She also fights Lu Lingqi at times, although on less friendly terms. Lingqi's parents make a more cordial relationship difficult, but both respect the other's strength and skill and recognize that battling each other improves their own. That, and their fathers tend to be a relate-able pain to deal with as the two facepalm from those said fathers in the distance. |
| 804 | * While initially surprised that Honda Tadakatsu was a bit more, er, ''metallic'' than she remembered, she nevertheless has discovered that he is still just as strong and honorable as he used to be, and is more than willing to pay him the utmost respect for this. However, perhaps the whole "father switching" idea she had with his daughter Inahime could take a pass this time. |
| 805 | * Still faithfully serves the Shu banner, no matter what plane. Should the war between the Three Kingdoms restart, she is more than willing to venture out onto the battlefield once again. |
| 806 | * Has been helping the somewhat hopeless [[WebAnimation/{{RWBY}} Jaune Arc]] increase his proficiency with his sword and shield skills. Despite said hopelessness, his dedication and perseverance always inspires her and she refuses to give up her attempts to help him, as she is used to dealing with people who seem not to amount to much. When asked, she merely states that Jaune reminds her of two people that she knows,[[note]]Guan Ping & Liu Shan[[/note]] and, like them, she just can't leave him alone. |
| 807 | ** With that, she has met and also sparred against his primary trainer, Pyrrha Nikos, and the two became friends very quickly. |
| 808 | * She became close friends with Takatora Kureshima due to the Kamen Rider having the same preference of weaponry as her own. |
| 809 | * She's quite glad that her friend across the realms, Inahime, has ascended... but she's more surprised that she ''brought a husband'', because Xingcai didn't recall meeting him during the struggle against Orochi. Then again, she forgot to bring her friend Yinping as well... |
| 810 | * Has been annoyed at how people pronounce the "c" in her name, but since that said struggle against Orochi they've been getting it right as "Shee-ng-tsai" instead of "Shee-ng-kai". |
| 811 | * She was at one point captured by some mysterious men along with Guan Yinping, where these men attempted to BreakThemByTalking, in Xingcai's case... the fact that historically, her father was very much a big scum who abducted and raped her mother, thereby making her the daughter of a whore and a bastard. She nearly fell into a HeroicBSOD, but thankfully before the capture, she has met and shared stories with a certain [[Manga/RurouniKenshin Himura Kenshin]]. She proceeded to give them a ''harsh'' ShutUpHannibal stating that regardless of how she was conceived, she believed in her father's shame about it and how he has been trying to make up for that, and very proud of his actions in trying to be a good father for her. When these men resort to show that 'historical accuracy' tells all, she condemns these men to just getting blinded with some bad things and then resorting to NeverLiveItDown on someone they don't like without exploring other possibilities. Just in time for Yinping showing off her strength to break them free, and then they proceeded to confront their fathers... and assured them that they can't be mad at them for their flaws. Though Xingcai suspects that there's also a nebulous movement in trying to bring down their family. |
| 812 | * Was proud to see her former High Priestess, Shield Knight, properly ascend into the pantheon. She has begun to spend some free time training with her in the art of how to use your shield for both offensive and defensive purposes. |
| 813 | * Has recently facepalmed when she realized she has to deal with ''three crazy drunkards'', one from each of the three kingdoms, her own father, Sun Quan, and Cao Zhi. Anything must be done to prevent those three from drinking the night away out of chaos. |
