| 42 | * Hailing from a world in which Japan was [[BalkanizeMe Balkanized]] into three separate nation states - Tōto, Seito, and Hokuto[[note]]East Capitol, West Capitol, and North Capitol[[/note]] - by the emergence of a giant structure known as the Skywall, the four Kamen Riders of the World of Build all [[PhlebotinumHandlingRequirements use Nebula Gas, a substance secreted by the Skywall, to power their Drivers]]. |
| 43 | * The four Kamen Riders were rewarded with ascension and granted entry into the Pantheon by the Courts [[spoiler: after successfully [[MergedReality combining their world and the world of Kamen Rider into one]] which resulted in and [[Recap/KamenRiderBuildNewWorldKamenRiderCrossZ regaining their memories of the old world during the events that led to the defeat of]] [[GreaterScopeVillain the King of the Blood Tribe, Killbus.]]]] Many saw this arrival as a long time coming, but found it to be very improper to ascend just a single one of them as ALL of them contributed greatly to [[spoiler: the creation of the New World.]], resulting in this "Salvation Beyond the Laws of Physics". |
| 44 | * Applies to two or more of them: |
| 45 | ** The four were naturally horrified to learn that their ArchEnemy Evolto was already in the Pantheon and have begun looking for a way to kill him permanently this time around. They have also become enemies with Frieza, due to his nature as a sadistic, planet destroying alien reminding them too of Evolto. They were naturally unnerved to learn that the two had become allies. |
| 46 | ** Being a very closely knitted adult FourManBand from their universe and [[BashBrothers working devastatingly well as one overcoming obstacles]], they drew the the admiration and eventually became mentors to the team of RWBY(with each Rider being a personal teacher to a particular girl). So far, this apprenticeship has been going quite wonderfully due to the [[BirdsOfAFeather similarities the Riders are able to find in their students have with them]] and use that to their advantage when [[PsychologistTeacher helping the huntresses grow and evolve as people and protectors.]] |
| 47 | ** A favorite group hangout of theirs is the International Cuisine Cous Coussier, much to the joy of its owner, who is quite desperate to find the secret to why Soichi's coffee is so unmatched. |
| 48 | * Exclusive to Sento/Build: |
| 49 | ** Sento Kiryu was once [[spoiler:Takumi Katsuragi]], the [[MadScientist rogue scientist]] responsible for Nebula Gas research after his father's apparent death, creating the [[TransformationTrinket Rider System]], [[MonsterOfTheWeek the Smash]], and the Transteam System. |
| 50 | ** Since ascending, Sento has become allies with many other benevolent scientists and inventors in the Pantheon who also seek to use science to help humanity, most notably Tony Stark, another scientist hero who also uses his inventions to fight for good. |
| 51 | ** As someone who sees science as a tool for the good of humanity, Sento is naturally opposed to anyone who would use it to harm others and further their own selfish goals, such as the likes of Ryoma Sengoku and Professor Hojo. |
| 52 | ** Ai Haibara has called upon Sento's services to help find an antidote to APTX 4869. Sento, knowing ''very well'' how it feels to [[CreatorBacklash want to take back inventions gone wrong]], unhesitantly went to her aid to find the cure. Though it shouldn't have been much a surprise with a mind as bright as Sento's, many deities were surprise how closer by leaps and bounds the discovery of the cure come with his aid. |
| 53 | *** For similar reasons, Sento also found connection with Krim Steinbelt who expressed dismay over how he had a hand in the Roidmudes. Sento and Krim have been seen working on various projects together. |
| 54 | ** While walking through the House of Food to find the ingredients for his favorite kind of Tamagoyaki, Sento ran into a man who looked suspiciously like his [[MidSeasonUpgrade Sparkling form]] due to the red, blue, and white coloring. Before he could make any assumptions, he saw the Pepsi logo on the man's chest - identifying him as this "Pepsiman" he's been hearing a lot about how his Build armor ''does'' resemble the mascot greatly. Much to his surprise, Pepsiman guided him through the House of Food to where he can find the ingredients he's been looking for. The two has been great peers ever since. |
| 55 | * Exclusive to Ryuga/Cross-Z: |
| 56 | ** A former prize fighter disqualified for ThrowingTheFight in order to pay for his sick fiancee's medical bills, Ryuga Banjo was convicted for the "murder" of Takumi Katsuragi [[spoiler: until it turned this was AllAccordingToPlan in regards to his status as the HalfHumanHybrid of the PlanetEater Evolt.]] |
| 57 | ** Ryuga has become good friends with Ryuko Matoi after it was noted how they both share similar attitudes and how both are Half Human Hybrids who fought against an Alien Invasion. |
| 58 | ** His growth as a person who bears the symbol of dragons in life has gained him the favor of many benevolent dragon-based deities, including Bahamut himself. In particular, Ventuswill has taken a liking to Ryuga due to also becoming a much more personal being around others. |
| 59 | ** Has become close friends with Riku Asakura for two particular reasons: 1.) Because he also doesn't allow his sociopathic and manipulative father to decide what his fate is despite what he says and [[BadPowersGoodPeople will use the powers gained from the villainous parent to help others as much as possible]] and 2.) [[TrademarkFavoriteFood Riku loves ramen just as much as Ryuga]]. You can usually see the two hanging out with Ryuko at a ramen stand in the House of Food. |
| 60 | ** While some of the more closed minded gods dismiss him as a simple idiot when they first meet him, those same people will be quite surprised to see him at the House of Love [[BruiserWithASoftCenter where he dots on his fiance]] to make up for the time they missed after her death in the mortal plane[[spoiler: in the old world.]] |
| 61 | * Exclusive to Kazumi/Grease: |
| 62 | ** Once a simple potato farmer and overall BenevolentBoss to his employees with an obsession with internet idols, Kazumi "[[AffectionateNickname Kazumin]]" Sawatari chose to be experimented on and to become a soldier in order to protect his home state of Hokuto. |
| 63 | ** As a farmer first and foremost, Kazumi proceeded to set up his own potato plantation of with the supplies provided by the Pantheon near his temple...which attracted the attention of a certain [[BigEater Sasha Blouse]], who was chased around in circles around the temple of the Farmer by Kazumi for her attempted thief of his home grown food. Luckily, the Farmer was able to inject and make the suggestion of Kazumi taking Sasha under his wing so she can learn how to grow her own potatoes so she doesn't pull this kind of thing again. |
| 64 | ** Being a fan of net idols, Kazumi immediately set out towards the Pantheon of Pantheon/SingersAndPerformers and quickly fell in love with the performances of idols 765 Pro and Utau Hoshina and asking if they had any body pillows he could keep...which they did funnily enough. That being said, he does insist that "Mii-tan!" is still the greatest that ever will be and that they all should take notes from her. |
| 65 | ** Is very much disgusted by the actions and mindset of one Nobuyuki Sugou, swearing he'll crush him with his burning soul fire one day before the petty man can cause anymore harm. |
| 66 | ** Takes GREAT offense to the presence of the Lich due to his very existence causing his plantations to rot ''every single time DAMN he passes by secretly.'' '''[[EvilIsPetty On purpose.]]''' |
| 67 | * Exclusive to Gentoku/Rogue: |
| 68 | ** [[ExBigBad Previously the leader of]] [[NebulousEvilOrganisation Faust]] thanks to the warping light of Pandora's Box, [[BreakTheHaughty a series of events and experimentation]] lead to local politician Gentoku Himuro to reverting back into his previously amiable personality and becoming a Kamen Rider himself. |
| 69 | ** The first place Gentoku visited in the Pantheon was the House of Pantheon/ClothingStyle...and got kicked out of there for being RummageSaleReject and '''daring''' to ''proudly claim that he custom-tailored it and that it's stylish''. Wasn't allowed back in until he went back to his more tasteful HellBentForLeather choice of clothing. |
| 70 | ** As an influential and professional political figure in Japan, Gentoku gets along with benevolent deities of politics while being naturally repulsed with the self-centered politicians, such as Senator Steven Armstrong and Prime Minister Honest, whose actions inflicts pain on the people whom they are supposed to protect from harm to the best of their abilities. |
| 71 | ---> '''Gentoku:''' It's not the people in power who make a country, it's the people that grant them that power. |
| 72 | ** Finds himself in company with Nepgear a lot of the time when in need of help with his work or when she just wants someone to be around. When noticing the duo entering and exiting shops arm full of clothes, many are worried that she'll be infected by his downright silly taste in style if left to their own devices for too long. |
| 73 | ** Bolvar Fordragon was surprised to find a kindred in Gentoku despite the latter's eccentrics. This is due to him ''also'' going through ColdBloodedTorture but [[{{Determinator}} refusing to allow his spirit to break under the pain.]] That being said, Bolvar rejects any rumor of joining in on Gentoku's [[FunTShirt hobby]]. |

| 110 | * Darth Maul was the Dathomirian Zabrak son of Mother Talzin, and from a very young age Palpatine's first apprentice upon killing his master. He was trained to be an assassin and blunt instrument, a weapon for Sidious which he proved to be a formidable and deadly warrior. However, he was proven to be expendable when having to hold up for Palpatine rising up in the ranks of his political career whilst simultaneously manipulating the Galactic Republic and the Separatist Confederacy of Independent Systems, Maul personally confronted two Jedis, Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan Kenobi, who were assigned to personally protect Queen Padmé Amidala of Naboo. Despite killing Qui-Gon, Maul was defeated by Ob-Wan and was speculated to be dead... until he was found and recovered, though, by that point, defeat and isolation drove Maul mad, and had to be looked after by Mother Talzin and his brother, Savage Oppress. From there, Maul decided to engage in the Clone Wars, personally wanting revenge against Obi-Wan for his defeat and extending that towards Palpatine for abandoning him, essentially having his own faction. Unfortunately, Maul would lose everything he held dear due to Palpatine and after the Clone Wars, went into hiding, eventually creating a criminal cabal known as the Crimson Dawn to assert authority over the crime industry in the galaxy. And even then, Maul let go of his hatred towards Palpatine and Obi-Wan, long after the Jedi Order had been violently dismantled. After a couple of fights and rebellions that, despite some victories, left him too hollow and empty to care, Maul decided to battle Obi-Wan Kenobi in Tatooine one last time, only for him to be mortally wounded. In his dying breath, Maul asked if the child Obi-Wan was protecting from the Galactic Empire was TheChosenOne, to which the latter nodded in approval. Finally finding some form of peace, Maul passed away assured and without hate, [[AlasPoorVillain his death being mourned by his sworn nemesis for how his life had been full of rage, betrayal, and tragedy]]. |
| 111 | * Although he had died in a tragic conclusion to his life, Maul's tale was still recognized by many as an example of what can happen if one decides to let revenge, hatred, and bitterness define their love and their desires and the consequences of doing so. Additionally, while many Sith Lords undergo a similar treatment, Maul is a particularly notable case in that since childhood, he never really had the chance of normalcy, being kidnapped, tortured, and raised to be an assassin whilst using his hate as an engine for his power. This story and the notoriety behind it is how Maul became recognized in the Pantheon as well as his subsequent ascension into a whole new realm. Reports of his first sightings were quite shady, with eyewitnesses claiming to have seen what they thought was a "demon with a double-bladed sword and covered in robes". It didn't take the ascended Jedi, Palpatine, and any Sith Lord that came after Maul to figure out who it was. In private, Maul mused that with a second chance, he wasn't going to waste this and has dedicated his efforts to bringing down Sidious in any way possible and taking over the Sith principle in his own direction. |
| 112 | * As a Sith Lord, Maul is an incredibly powerful foe with masterful swordsmanship as part of his training as an assassin as well as being proficient in the use of The Force via telekinesis and probing and breaking minds, though he prefers to rely more on his martial skills and instead use The Force to enhance his reflexes and combat blows. He's also a criminal mastermind, having led a crime-like organization, and can be persuasive and manipulative if he has to. All these led to him becoming someone who should be tread carefully, as many of his fallen enemies have demonstrated. That said, the Pantheon was something that Maul saw as an opportunity to renew his reputation as well as seek new allies and opportunities for himself. He knows he'll have more enemies due to breaking some traditions of the Sith to further his own ambitions, hence he aspires to find allies that are genuine and respect him back as a way to make sure that he perseveres as long as possible, seeing that as the best way possible for him to rise above the Jedi and Palpatine. |
| 113 | * Maul was surprised to discover that there were more Sith Lords in the Pantheon than he had anticipated, but due to him being rebellious even by their standards, he's not on good terms with either of them, with the best he can manage being worthy rivals if that is possible, alongside the fact that Darth Bane ''might'' entertain on the idea of having him as a mentor if he can best Zannah in a fair duel. Maul is willing to consider said opportunity, especially considering that Bane himself hates Palpatine, albeit for different reasons, and thinking that being trained under a historic Sith Lord who is rigid and stern over the very master-apprentice system he created could provide for some martial and mental benefits on Maul's part. Otherwise, Maul spends as much time fighting against the likes of Vader, Count Dooku, and even General Grievous, despite him not being a Sith, partly because of them being former followers and supporters of Palpatine like himself and also because each of them have different priorities and goals for themselves in the Pantheon. Maul also finds interest and a potential rivalry towards Kylo Ren and can connect with the similar circumstances of being led astray and being raised by an abusive practitioner of TheDarkSide. Kylo usually doesn't want much association with Maul, though they have battled on a number of occasions due to Maul insisting that he could somehow convince Kylo to work together in killing Sidious. |
| 114 | ** Because of how much influence Palpatine had with the Galactic Empire as well as the sheer power and ruthlessness he held against anyone he deemed an enemy and threat, Maul found himself joining forces with members of the Rebel Alliance, which included two surviving Jedi Knights and an apprentice, just to stand a chance against the Inquisitors. Of course, Maul didn't really have much of a choice in the matter and affirmed that the Jedi are still his foes. That said, in the Pantheon, while the Jedi, especially Obi-Wan are enemies to contend against, Maul would consider an alliance if they have to deal with a mutual threat, especially if said threat happens to be Palpatine. While Maul and Obi-Wan still fight against each other, the overall atmosphere seems to be less hateful on Maul's part, with him now seeing Obi-Wan as a WorthyOpponent. All things considered, while Maul has fought alongside the Jedi at one point and conceded about working with Obi-Wan against Sidious, it's not a topic that he likes to discuss as, at the end of the day, it's all a means to an end on Maul's part as he does intend to defeat the Jedi Order once his former master is dealt with. |
| 115 | * With his seething rage and determination being a defining trait, Maul caught the attention of the Dark Elves of Naggaroth, who themselves were also motivated by a drive of hatred and malice whilst also being committed to their aim of taking over Ulthuan. While the Dark Elves generally see other races as below them, the Witch-King, Malekith, found intrigue and promise towards Maul and welcomed him in service. The two bonded over sharing some family values, harboring their strengths through hatred, and the sheer commitment and dedication to their goals. With the Pantheon justifying Malekith's need of having allies outside the Dark Elves, he provided Maul the opportunity to work as a partner and that he would even help him in fighting against Palpatine, to which he eagerly accepted, albeit under the rule that neither play mind games against each other. By extension, Maul also got along with Malus Darkblade due to their desire for approval and for setting up a feared reputation for themselves, with the two of them working together at times and even having sparring matches to hone their skills. That said, Malekith told Maul to be wary of his own mother, Morathi, as her ploys of manipulation can be towards anyone she sees as a stepping stone to advance her own desires, something that Maul heeded, knowing how it feels to be played with and then tossed like a tool when he's no longer needed, though Morathi believes Maul might be more interesting a toy than she initially thought. |
| 116 | * Having been raised an assassin, Maul might have been seen as someone worth hiring if it means getting a kill out of the way as quickly as possible. However, with a thirst for power, respect, and domination, Maul sought a lot more than just honing his skills as a killer and wants to assert that he would want to take charge, or at least be in a high position if a partnership is ever offered to him. This is part of the reason why he was sought by Deathstroke and Noob Saibot, two highly feared assassins from their own worlds' and they've individually offered to support Maul in his quest to reign supreme in The Force, an act that pleased the Sith Renegade. In return, Maul has offered a large sum of money and futuristic technology for Deathstroke and spacecraft and coordinates to the far reaches of space for Noob if he ever seeks to spread the influence of the Lin Kuei[[note]]more specifically, ''his'' vision of the clan[[/note]] beyond just his planet. Maul also respected their powers and fear factor, believing that a trio, consisting of them could potentially rival much of the Galactic Empire, though considering the high demands that Deathstroke and Noob ask, Maul is making sure to be careful in his newfound partnerships. |
| 117 | ** Speaking of assassins and his own business via the Crimson Dawn, Maul wanted to see if he can hire other assassins to carry out some clean-up in case someone compromises him, or wants a threat eliminated quickly. Learning about Vincent and Anton Chigurh, Maul offered a good sum of money and technology if they decided to work under what Maul asked. Knowing they are unfamiliar with the greater galaxy, Maul decided to be realistic and order assassinations of business traders and politicians, a high-rise job for both assassins, yet Vincent and Anton agreed to carry them out on separate occasions. While not powerful, Maul came to respect their dedication and sheer brutality in their job as Vincent and Anton represented the ideal subordinate in the Crimson Dawn. That said, the two assassins simply see Maul as another employer, albeit one who orders more high-stakes targets as the Sith Renegade wants to bolster his notoriety in some capacity as well as make him more justified in what he can offer to his clients. He hopes that his influence in the Crimson Dawn would attract more assassins into his criminal cabal. |
| 118 | ** While visually incredibly different from each other, Maul did find himself associating with Damian Wayne and Cassandra Cain regarding their nature as individuals who were brought up since childhood to be raised as a weapon toward their parental figures' enemies, with Damian and Cassandra being raised by their mother and father respectively to become assassins, whether they liked it or not. Instead of wanting to make an enemy out of them, he instead saw an opportunity and a chance to connect with the two. It didn't matter if the two had [[Pantheon/{{Superheroism}} Batman]] as their proper parental guardian, Maul was adamant about capturing Damian and Cassandra with the intent of indoctrinating them into his teachings and making them his apprentices. On the few occasions he's personally encountered them, Maul does seem to act as nice and accepting as he can and he doesn't try to kill Damian and Cassandra for those reasons. The two of them, on the other hand, are opposed to Maul's methods and while they are willing to fight back, Damian admits to being a bit afraid when confronting him, partly because Maul is a "big red demon" and partly because his attempts to reach out to him are not unlike Damian's treatment at the hands of his mother, [[Pantheon/{{Mothers}} Talia]], on her worst days. He also has a similar interest towards Rose Wilson, though she's even more reactive and aggressive towards Maul than Damian and Cassandra are, likely owing to her own troubled experience with her father. |
| 119 | ** On the subject of organizations, Maul found himself butting heads against those who are similar to the Galactic Empire, but otherwise have differing goals and standards for how they want to lead their respective groups. Sinestro believes that Maul inspires enough fear to consider drafting the Sith Renegade into his own Corps, but given how rage and grief have come to be his defining emotions, it's going to be hard to convince Maul to join him otherwise, not to mention Maul himself wants Sith supremacy, which contrasts Siestro's desire of an orderly universe in his way. General Zod also opposes Palpatine as he can't stand the thought of the Galactic Empire seeing themselves as over Kryptonians and Sidious's willingness to destroy planets doesn't help his opinion over the Sith Master, hence Maul saw the Kryptonian General as someone he could rely on. Zod personally doesn't agree with Maul's philosophy and the two butt heads over their beliefs, but given they had a mutual enemy, they respected each others' combat might and confided they can make a good team, and Maul doesn't want to waste the opportunity for a good ally, even if their relationship is rocky. Lord Recluse seems to have the best opinion towards Maul, seeing him as a powerful fighter, skilled manipulator, and a paragon of hatred and violence. He would have considered enlisting Maul as an honorary Patron, but the Arachnos Leader's own allegiance with Darkseid muddies any chance of an alliance, hence Maul's refusal to work with Lord Recluse, not to mention Lord Recluse's goals of defeating [[Pantheon/HeroicArchetypes Statesman]] and proving himself the ultimate being isn't really aligned with Maul's. |
| 120 | * Due to his criminal status as the leader of the Crimson Dawn as well as his early days as a Sith Apprentice and acts of terrorism during the Clone Wars, Maul ended up receiving further enmity from heroes who operated in space, such as the Green Lantern Corps and the crew of the USS Enterprise, both of whom deemed the Sith Renegade as being an active threat to any place he would venture to, no thanks to his viciousness and his willingness to manipulate others to his side. Not that Maul really cares for this, if anything, he didn't come to the Pantheon expecting to be liked more than he is feared. At one point, because he felt that he needed a counter to the Death Star after learning of its destructive capabilities and being one of the Galactic Empire's greatest weapons, he tried to confront Mogo the Living Planet with the intent of using The Force to make the planet bend to his will. Unfortunately for Maul, he failed on that due to Mogo's willpower and his adaptive ability to change his biome, exhausting Maul and only making him further opposed by the Green Lanterns. |
| 121 | * His desire for revenge would attract the attention of Atrocitus and the Red Lantern Corps, whose powers via their Lantern Rings were driven by a combination of rage and grief, with the Corps claiming that the latter is the strongest way to accumulate the former. The fact that Maul's anger and desire for revenge were driven by the shock of being betrayed and having to see his loved ones die in the Clone Wars, mainly because of Palpatine's machinations made him someone the Red Lanterns were eager to look for in their attempt to recruit in their services. When told about the Lantern Corps, Maul was fascinated and figured that it would grant him more power, but seeing as they do come at the cost of one's sanity, the Sith Renegade has been cautious. Atrocitus, being one that is adamant about asserting his goals above everything else, gave Maul a Red Lantern Ring regardless, though Maul doesn't necessarily have to wear it. That said, Atrocitus did state that there will come a time when his personal Lantern recruits would be needed and told Maul to be on the lookout for that. Since then, Maul has kept his Red Lantern Ring securely, choosing to rely on his own martial, assassination, and manipulable skills to get through in the Pantheon. On another note, while Atrocitus himself is not a fan of the Jedi Order either, he affirmed that he would not endorse Maul's crusade against them mainly out of pragmatism. |
| 122 | * His quest for vengeance and hatred has led him to become well-acquainted with fellow beings like Clockwerk and Tai Lung, who have sworn revenge against their enemies for being denied what they believed was theirs. Maul personally admired their seething rage and decided to give them some support via technological funding for Clockwerk and combat training for Tai Lung as a way to solidify their working relationship and an alliance against their foes. That said, Maul is wary of Clockwerk to an extent as his hatred for the Cooper family is quite one-track-minded and he personally doesn't want to get too involved with [[Pantheon/{{Thieves}} Sly Cooper]] all too much. Clockwerk retorted that Maul is similar to him in regards to his own views on the Jedi and Sidious, but the Sith Renegade told the former that eliminating Palpatine in the Pantheon would yield them great power and influence and that working alongside him is a sentence of torture, as his own experience has shown. He gets along a lot better with Tai Lung as both of them show a lot of pride in their fighting skills and power. That said, while Tai Lung is sore over his defeat at the paws of [[Pantheon/{{Mammals}} Po]], Maul is interested in fighting the panda to sate his own morbid curiosity. |
| 123 | * While feared and hated by many for the numerous atrocities acts he committed in his quest to spite the Jedi and overtake Palpatine as the dominant Sith Lord, there is a sense of pity to be had towards Maul by some people, thinking that while Maul was born in a harsh environment, he wouldn't have turned out to be ''so'' bad if it weren't for Palpatine's kidnapping and upbringing on Maul when he was a child. After all, he did possess some noble qualities like genuine affection for those he liked and a (rather twisted) sense of honor. He saw Claus as a fellow victim of circumstance due to his kidnapping and brainwashing into a minion, courtesy of [[Pantheon/AgeAndYouth Porky Minch]] and considered having a conversation with the boy, hoping to connect with him. Claus, on the other hand, was reluctant, and later afraid, upon learning about the sort of person Maul is and keeps as much distance as he can, though he would fight the Sith Renegade if he has to. Many speculated that while Maul does legitimately want to get along with Claus, the way he treated Ezra Bridger amicably if mainly because he wanted an apprentice and to lead him on a similar path he was in, suggests that he wants Claus to follow in his footsteps, a terrifying thought to consider, especially for Claus's brother, [[Pantheon/{{Twins}} Lucas]]. |
| 124 | * Due to his experience with Palpatine and how the Galactic Empire was an oppositional force that he had to deal with after the Clone Wars, Maul isn't too fond of governmental orders and establishments that are similar as well as organizations that are led by a galactic tyrant as those tend to remind Maul of his former master. As a result, he hates Frieza and Cooler for being very much like Sidious and doesn't understand why someone would want to follow them due to their cruelty, which is saying something considering how ruthless and bloodthirsty Maul can be on his worst days. He even opposes tyrants like Melkor, Voldemort, and Darkseid, claiming that their endless desire for power and their abusive treatment of everyone else is just like how Palpatine treats the rest of the galaxy, let alone his apprentices. Strangely, Maul managed to get along with Kalibak when they met. Although Maul initially saw the brute as someone to manipulate as a means to get him to oppose Darkseid, they connected when the Sith Renegade realized that Kalibak wants his father's approval and loved him, regardless of the amount of abuse and disrespect he took. As a result, Maul decided to look after Kalibak in his own twisted way, seeing if he can mentor the brute to his liking, though he intends to change Kalibak's affection towards Darkseid into outright hate in favor of loyalty and respect towards himself. |
| 125 | ** Of course, Maul came to see Ozai in an incredibly negative light as, in addition to being a cruel tyrant, he was also an uncaring leader and an abusive father to his children, [[Pantheon/TraitorArchetypes Zuko]] and Azula, putting high expectations on them and punishing and humiliating them if they didn't perform up to his expectations. While Maul couldn't reach out to Zuko due to him becoming a hero, he did reach out to Azula, who at that point came to hate her father just as much as everyone else in her world did, and gave her an offer to become allies in exchange for becoming more powerful as well as become a leader in her own right, even using his own experience as an apprentice as a way to relate to her relationship with Ozai. Azula was tempted enough to go along with it, and in a little while, came to see Maul as a reliable partner and teacher, seeing as his comments and praises towards Azula's skill as a Firebender were genuine, in addition to her own guile and sly tongue making way for being deceptive. So far, Maul has been supportive of Azula's new goal of doing whatever she can to make Zuko the kind of Fire Lord that she sees as ideal, and he's willing to offer her some pieces of advice, inspired by Sith teachings, to further her aim. |
| 126 | * With the Sith being strong advocates of ThePowerOfHate, Maul is no exception, though his own anger and rage are quite unique in comparison to his peers, being rather akin to that of a snarling demon who wants to get back at the world for treating him disrespectfully. That, and his formidable fighting skills were something that caught the attention of the Chaos Blood God, Khorne, who was quick to try tempting Maul into joining his worship and servitude in exchange for more power. Maul considered, but then decided that he already had The Son as his patron deity and declined, stating that he wants to use the powers and skills that he practiced and mastered for his pursuits rather than be blessed by someone whom he doesn't really know, not to mention his dedicated goal of wanting to usurp Sidious and defeating the Jedi goes against Khorne's vision of endless war, bloodshed, and carnage. Of course, Khorne was not amused by Maul's gesture, and the fact that he would want to use The Force, a source of magic, in Khorne's perspective, only made the situation worse for him. |
| 127 | ** Among Khorne's own followers, the two that attracted the most attention towards Maul were Angron and Perturabo, and both of them were driven by circumstances of being mistreated and looked down on by their superiors at some point, which fueled their rage and they decided to retaliate by swearing their servitude to Khorne, gain awesome power out of their worship and soon display their newfound strength and dominance toward others. Maul found the two to be interesting figures and, although they were stronger than him, Maul criticized their lack of ambition and kept themselves stuck in being followers of Khorne. Even then, he did try to see if he can form an alliance with them, but the only thing he could have managed is to be on barely speaking terms with Perturabo and only because of their similar pasts as well as Maul promising him more power if he can help the Sith Renegade in fighting against his enemies. Angron was so deranged and obsessed with the desire to shed blood on the battlefield that Maul figured it would be a waste of time to even consider talking to him, let alone convince him, whereas Angron sees Maul as a rival in regards to how much they are powered by their own hate. |
| 128 | ** Maul expressed interest in the Uchiha, namely that they were strongly driven by emotions, which were key to awakening the Sharingan as well as further empowering them, based on how much despair and heartbreak they endure in their lives, evolving them into the Mangekyou Sharingan. Despite this, Maul is not really on good terms with any of the Uchiha; Sasuke and Obito are pursuing a path of redemption and Maul is a reminder of how they let their hatred take over their mind and desires, something that they wish to overcome and Maul still being driven by such was something they didn't appreciate, leading to the Sith Renegade fighting against the two on occasion, not helping with the fact that Obito is also allied with Vader. Maul doesn't like Madara either, which only makes the latter amused as he recognized that [[NotSoDifferentRemark they're quite similar to one another]] and chides the former for being reckless and manipulable in his desires. Maul didn't appreciate the gesture and compared Madara to Palpatine in his path to achieving "peace", which involved manipulating Obito into becoming just like him in their philosophical perspective on life and that Madara's self-centered attitude, coupled with prioritizing his needs over everyone else's only made him just as much a {{hypocrite}} than Madara is making Maul out to be. On another note, he has a rivalry with Vanitas, whose hatred fuels his existence as well as the creation of the Unversed. Unlike the Uchiha, Vanitas respects Maul's hate and power, and Maul himself reciprocates by complimenting Vanitas's strengths and abilities to the point where the two enjoy fighting against each other, though both of them having vastly different goals and objectives nullify any potential alliance they may have made. |

At the age of 14, her life as a teen began to spiral downward upon being mistaken for a suspect in a robbery she didn't commit and then fleeing from an officer by stealing a motorcycle. Though Dio had been dead for over 20 years at this point, she would still feel his influence by getting involved and trying to stop the plot of Enrico Pucci to reboot the universe so everyone knows their destiny. [[spoiler:Though killed by Pucci, her final aid helped Emporio stop Pucci and she would be reborn as Irene in the new universe]]. |

While she didn't like holding that as her title, she reluctantly took it to make sure that Pucci doesn't [[spoiler:achieve Heaven again]]. |

[[spoiler:[[VideoGame/JoJosBizarreAdventureEyesOfHeaven Rumor has it]] that the two went on an adventure that turned Jotaro into a much better father]]. |
| 155 | ** Upon hearing that a son of Dio had ascended into the Pantheon, Jolyne tried to find him and ended up meeting with Giorno. He explained that he didn't know about Pucci employing them, and has promised not to follow their example. Some deities have tried to [[ShipsThatPassInTheNight get the two in a relationship]], but they're quick to point out that [[TangledFamilyTree Giorno is technically Jolyne's great-great grand-uncle]]. [[CrackShip Still doesn't stop some of them]]. |

| 158 | * She was once part of the House of Crime, but it was decided that while a girl behind bars the jail lacked the..."salaciousness" of the GirlsBehindBars trope to count. [[LovableSexManiac Not that]] [[MsFanservice she didn't try]]. |
| 159 | * Despises Manfred Von Karma because of the corrupt lawyer and judge that led to her prolonged sentence. She's more OK with the Judge and Ace Attorney and crew, though. Neutral on [[Pantheon/LegalProcess Sae Niijima]], but likes her ally Ann Takamaki because she wants societal change, was part of her old House of Pantheon/CrimeAndTransgressions so they got to know each other, and is confident in her own sexuality. |
| 160 | * Because of her situation, Jolyne Cujoh has nothing but sympathy for Sirius Black for how he was utterly screwed by the legal system and went to [[HellholePrison Azkaban]] for a crime he was framed for. On the other side of things, John Doe was enraged by her lust and perversion, and believes she needs to be one of his targets. She sees him for the sadist SerialKiller he is, and the fact like Pucci she's religious |
| 161 | * Decided to play some baseball in the House of Sports one day. When she found out that the game was being rigged against her team, she found the shmuck that was pulling the strings, trapped them, and hit them with a baseball. [[NoKillLikeOverkill A thousand times]]. |
| 162 | -->''"How deep can I get? Balls deep!"'' |
| 163 | * When she heard about Sakuya rebelling against Dio and besting him in combat, Jolyne decided to help her in case something like that ever happens again. It helps that [[Creator/MiyukiSawashiro the two sound alike]]. When she heard about her father's friendship with Ryuko, she decided to meet her. The two bonded over them having not known their respective fathers all too well, but they both decided that it was for the better. |
| 164 | * Her Stand, Stone Free, turns her body into string. While it sounds weak in practice, Jolyne is able to use Stone Free with extreme versatility, from using it to ensnare foes, to swinging around with it, to forming RazorFloss to slice her foes. Spider-Man admires how she can use her ability to swing around. Jolyne is rather surprised that he doesn't use a Stand to shoot webs. And speaking of she had to make sure that he, [[Pantheon/{{Slaughter}} Kenshiro]], [[Pantheon/DeathAndPostmortem Raoh]], [[Pantheon/FormMentalities Pinocchio]], [[Pantheon/RoyalPersonalities Snow White]], [[Pantheon/MachineryAndTechnology Astro Boy]], [[Pantheon/{{Otherness}} Mickey Mouse]], and [[Pantheon/{{Narrative}} Snoopy]] were all intact after Ungalo used copies of them to attack her friends, and to her relief, they were. Consequently, she found out [[MemeticMutation where the fuck Mickey was]]. |
| 165 | * Butterflies are a clear AnimalMotif with her. Naturally she finds the ascended Mothra to be beautiful, and she identifies with [[ButterflyOfDeathAndRebirth the OG Mothra]] [[spoiler:because of her own fate]]. She also has clear spider motifs given her clothing pattern and Stand. Shelob and Ungoliant creep the hell out of her by comparison. She doesn't like Queen Sectonia either. |
| 166 | * Stays ''very'' far away from any rainbow-themed deities. This is because of [[spoiler:the time when her friend Weather Report went haywire, and his Stand evolved so that [[MakesAsMuchSenseInContext it created rainbows that turned people into snails]]]]. Jolyne really doesn't like Juri, who [[{{Expy}} supposedly stole her hairstyle for herself]] and is kind of nasty. Dislikes Seija Kijin, since her abilities remind her of [[spoiler:Pucci's C-Moon]], and the fact that she uses them for fun does her no favors. |
| 167 | * Often goes to the [[Pantheon/LustfulActs Lust]] [[Pantheon/LustfulBehavior Halls]] to... have fun [[LovableSexManiac there]]. Seeing Slaanesh made her go "[[EveryoneHasStandards fuck no]]", but she is fine seeing who's the better lay with Panty [[HypocriticalHumor while also being annoyed]] by [[DirtyOldMan Jiraiya and Master Roshi]]. More seriously she feels bad for Oedipus due to falling afoul of YouCantFightFate and unwillingly [[SurpriseIncest becoming a literal motherfucker]], considering how fate has often screwed over the Joestar line. |
| 168 | * Her love interest was a {{Yandere}} who got put in jail [[DisproportionateRetribution for taking his girlfriend apart for cheating on him]]. However he TookALevelInKindness when it comes to Jolyne. Still, she isn't going to hang out with yanderes in the pantheon like Yuno Gasai. She certainly isn't going to look fondly on Gideon Graves, who reminds her of her asshole ex-boyfriend that had her framed for vehicular manslaughter rather than go to prison himself. [[spoiler:In his defense, he felt incredibly guilty and helps Jolyne in the end.]] It's safe to say she has issues with her love life. |
| 169 | * Considered by many of the more rebellious deities to be a living legend. She can be seen stealing cars and driving them around with them during her free time. She also once bugged [[Pantheon/CommercialAttitude Tsunade]] to bring out Katsuyu for her [[http://40.media.tumblr.com/c33d871cc6673142c4da38c059d98b41/tumblr_nlgky6tddt1s2kojso1_500.png (for rather odd reasons she didn't state but did think)]], but immediately said, "Nevermind!" |
| 170 | * [[spoiler:In her next life following Pucci's reset, she lives a more stable life as Irene and is HappilyMarried to Annakiss, [[ReincarnationRomance the reincarnation of Narciso Anasui]]. Jolyne is glad this happened [[BittersweetEnding despite everything]], and was pleased to learn because of Emporio [[RetGone Pucci doesn't even exist in the rebooted universe]]. She's been talking to [[Pantheon/MannersOfRevival Hawkman and Hawkgirl]] to get the hang of the whole reincarnation thing.]] |

| 210 | * Respected by: [[Pantheon/MiscellaneousPhilosophies Nagito Komaeda]] ([[NotMakingThisUpDisclaimer no, really]]) |
| 211 | * Annoyed by: [[Pantheon/{{Language}} Poland]] |
| 212 | * Opposes: [[Pantheon/GreenlandsAndGuardians Poison Ivy]] (Maya) |
| 213 | * After the defeat of the United Alliance of Evil on Earth, humanity was able to freely explore the cosmos in search of new worlds to colonize in the space colony, the Terra Venture. However, they would find that evil forces still remained in space and protecting the colony from these threats are the Power Rangers Lost Galaxy. Armed with the Quasar Sabers, the fought against Scorpius ([[LineageComesFromTheFather then his daughter Trakeena]]), navigated the colony out of the Lost Galaxy, and finally returning to the place where they found the Sabers, restoring the land. Now the original five users ascended to the Pantheon, armed with their weapons once more to fight evil alongside their fellow Power Rangers. |
| 214 | * Notable, they seem to lack a very important member: [[Series/PowerRangersInSpace Karone]]. Karone served as the second Galaxy Pink thanks to Kendrix being more or less out of commission at the time. Despite Kendrix returning, Karone still takes up the mantle of the Pink Ranger up to years later. She would rather give Kendrix the spotlight this time and is working on her own ascension eventually. |
| 215 | * Regarded as one of the strongest Ranger teams, not only do they wield the Quasar Sabers (which can morph into different kinds of weapons as well), they also have tamed the Galactabeasts, [[{{Kaiju}} massive creatures]] that could shift into becoming Zords through the power of the Transdaggers. They may be a few Galactabeasts down thanks to Trakeena but are incredible formidable in their own right, especially when the Lights of Orion are activated. |
| 216 | * Speaking of Trakeena, they were not at all pleased to learn of Trakeena somehow made it into the Pantheon before them. They didn’t even have much beef with her initially, most of it focused against her father Scorpius but as soon as Scorpius went out the picture, Trakeena became just as much of a ruthless tyrant as he was. And somehow, [[MoralEventHorizon she got worse by destroying Terra Venture with suicide bombers, killing of her honorable companions who had mentored her to be a stronger person, then trying to send Terra Venture’s remains crashing into the escaped inhabitants on Mirinoi]]. Yeah, even the United Alliance of Evil would have been shocked by what she had done (mostly the suicide bombers part, they need their {{Mooks}}). Trakeena serves the GUAE as a minor player but the Galaxy Rangers want to make sure she doesn’t do harm again and will put a stop to whatever plans she has. |
| 217 | ** Are also incredible hostile to the Psycho Rangers, as Trakeena somehow managed to bring about their return to terrorize Terra Venture. They alongside the Space Power Rangers put a stop to them and finished them off for good though Psycho Pink managed to barely survive. Then Psycho Pink did the unthinkable and managed [[spoiler:to take Kendrix down with her]], forcing Karone to eventually become the next Galaxy Pink. They are forced to fight against the Psychos almost every time they cross paths, often with destructive aftermaths. |
| 218 | * Despite their title, [[CoversAlwaysLie they only visited the Lost Galaxy in a short span of time]]... [[EldritchLocation if time even matters in that place]]. Before visiting the place, they were referred as the Galaxy Power Rangers, the Lost part only being added afterward. They could take either term right away though the real question is that [[ScifiWritersHaveNoSenseOfScale how in the heavens could they travel between galaxies and not find a world to colonize in any of them]]? United Alliance of Evil tech was likely repurposed and they had literal eons of experience but not a single galaxy held any habitable empty worlds to live upon? |
| 219 | * Bulk had been a inhabitance of Terra Venture alongside Professor Phenonimus (they left Skull back on Earth by accident), running a bar. It’s happy that Bulk does recognize a Ranger team he knows of and wondered how do they know them. It was then they unmorphed, Bulk could only say, [[CallBack “Them?”]] |
| 220 | * Became allies with multiple good-aligned space exploring factions such as Starfleet. Considering their military-esque setting, it was inevitable. Though likely none of them have ever been outside their own galaxy, have they? |
| 221 | ** Had made enemies with those who seek villainous conquest of the cosmos as well, such as Zeon, Daleks, and TheEmpire run by Palpatine. Nevertheless, the Galaxy Rangers are willing to stand beside their allies to face off against such foes. |
| 222 | * Their actions have been acclaimed by Gentaro Kisaragi, who looks up to them as these awesome heroes who have seen things so insane than he ever could. Even Ryusei Sakata respects them for their power. It helps that this team [[GermansLoveDavidHasselhoff is popular in the Land of the Rising Sun more than their Sentai counterparts]]. |
| 223 | ** The Lost Galaxy Rangers were amazed that both Gentaro and Ryusei also had to travel to space in order to stop a giant mecha XVII from attacking the Earth alongside the Kamen Rider Club since the only ones capable of combat at the time were Miu (who easily blasted robotic soldiers with a laser gun), Shun (the Pilot of the Power Dizer) and JK (for his DanceBattler skills) and even then Miu and JK later gained their own mechas. Yuki and Tomoko began asking them question after question about their adventures (the former for her love of space the latter as she's a huge Toku fan) while Kengo also is curious if any have found information about [[spoiler:The Presenters]] |
| 224 | * Have allied themselves with two famous chosen weapon wielders, Arthur and Artoria Pendragon. Many of them are still wrapping their minds [[GenderBender there is a female version of King Arthur]] (not Maya, she had never grown up with Earth mythologies). They have also allied with Sora who like them, uses light as his trump card in combat and was gifted an extremely powerful weapon thanks to their inner goodness and worthiness. |
| 225 | * [[AllThereInTheManual Apparently Zordon was the one who placed the Quasar Sabers in stone]]. There is no elaboration on that information besides that but that begs one question: perhaps Zordon was a Galaxy Ranger at some point? As much as people like to point out in another timeline he was the Red Cenozoic Ranger but in this proper timeline, Zordon created the Mighty Morphin powers from prehistoric animals on Earth and aside from that, there are no other Morphers that could be potentially that old. [[EpilepticTrees That is a theory that somehow got spread around the Pantheon and Zordon hasn’t given a answer to]]. |
| 226 | * For some incredible odd reason, Nagito Komaeda adores this team. He has seen the massive amounts of despair they had to face during their times traveling in Terra Venture and have become stronger people as a result of going through that conflict. They would be humbled, not offended at all as everything worked out in the end though they know Nagito’s reputation as a fetishist for hope, so they do their best to clear away from him. |
| 227 | * Poland seems to bug them constantly about wanting to be taken to space. He just wants to see a SpaceRock or anything but the team won’t let him, thinking he’ll just find a way to be eaten by [[Franchise/StarWars a space worm or something]]. |
| 228 | * Exclusive to Leo: |
| 229 | ** [[TheUnchosenOne Leo was not supposed to be the wielder of his Quasar Saber, that would be his brother]]. He was not even supposed to be on Terra Venture to begin with at all, having snuck aboard. Mike had seemingly died by falling into a crevice almost after getting his Saber, so Leo had managed to inherit the weapon and become the Galaxy Red Ranger in his place. Not that it’s a bad thing, as Leo proved himself to be an exemplary leader. Even when Mike did return, Leo still remained in charge up until now. |
| 230 | ** Leo has managed to befriend several underdogs who have managed to become capable badasses later on. One comes to mind Wesley Collins AKA Time Force Red who Leo had met during the reawakening of Serpenterra (Leo ran in late during that one). He’s also friends with Neville Longbottom who grew from a weak and timid child [[TookALevelInBadass to a full-blown hero later on]]. |
| 231 | ** Is associated with lions mostly thanks to his Galactabeast, so it comes to no surprise he found a connection with the rulers of Pride Rock. Leo also became enemies with Scar as [[SiblingMurder he dropped his brother off a cliff]], a massive far cry from Leo doing his best to rescue his brother from a similar scenario. |
| 232 | ** Han Solo managed to surprise Leo one time after running to him in space. [[NoodleIncident Nobody knows what happened]] but when they came out, Leo and Han managed to become bros to each other afterward. It may be Leo liking how Han rolls. |
| 233 | ** Really hates Ozai for being both a [[AbusiveParents terrible father]] and a [[CainAndAbel terrible brother]]. Leo and the rest of his team are friends with Iroh and will not stand by as Ozai tries to resume his quest to regain the footholds of power he had lost. |
| 234 | ** Char Aznable is impressed by Leo’s power and challenged him once to a face off. Leo accepted, thinking he would win but was proven wrong once Char’s skill far outmatched his when it came to piloting. Since then, Leo has been doing his best to beat Char at his own game by training himself. |
| 235 | * Exclusive to Kai: |
| 236 | ** Kai is a communications officer back who helps run Terra Venture from its bridge, so he had to juggle his military career and his Ranger duties at the same time. He finds himself on equal footing with William Riker as a result, another officer who is the second hand of the person heading the voyage. They share a drink with each other once in awhile. |
| 237 | ** Bonded with Gai Yuki over their roles of being second-in-commands to their teams as well. Kai also has a connection with more lawful members in comparison to their associates such as the Nijimas or Alenko Kaiden and Ashley Williams. Also is friends with other commanding military officers such as Honor Harrington and Admiral Ackbar. |
| 238 | ** [[RealMenCook Is a rather great cook]]. While he would rather pursue a military career, Kai has interacted with Ignis Scientia over their cooking skills on more than one occasion. |
| 239 | ** There is something going on between him and Thrawn, a hate that not even his teammates could make out of. They would rather focus their energy on going after Palpatine himself but Kai has a particularly grudge against Thrawn [[OOCIsSeriousBusiness that it really unlike him]]. An event will go down if they meet and Thrawn has added Kai to his threat list. |
| 240 | * Exclusive to Damon: |
| 241 | ** Damon is a mechanic that was supposed to be in charge of taking care of the Astro Megaship until he was dragged into the adventure. Tinkering machines are his pride and joy, so it was no wonder he joined up and started doing just that on Terra Venture. He is friends with several mechanics like himself and goes to the House of Technology to do more work there. |
| 242 | ** His Galactabeast is supposedly a condor though [[OurDragonsAreDifferent its giant draconic appearance would say otherwise]]. Hilariously, when it becomes a Zord, it’s used as a blaster that shoots down enemies. Damon is just happy that he’s a vital part of defeating an enemy. |
| 243 | ** Is shocked by how Robbie Rotten and Doofensmirtz could create such advanced technology but at the same time, [[ReedRichardsIsUseless all of it is useless as they were built to aid in ridiculous plots that go nowhere]]. Surprisingly gets along with them just fine, even helping in their machine creations as long as they don’t do actual harm. |
| 244 | ** Adores mechanical creatures such as Haro and Herbie. Jazz of the Autobots became friends with Damon and if they ever need a fix, Damon gave them his number. |
| 245 | ** His skills managed to give him the wrong attention as Trakeena testifies. He was kidnapped by General Grievous of all people to fix a mechanical error and was the nearest person around. He was kidnapped by Handsome Jack to build... [[NoodleImplements something Damon could not describe]]. He managed to surprise them by combating them with his Quasar Saber all on his own and escaping much to their shock. |
| 246 | * Exclusive to Maya: |
| 247 | ** Maya was just a normal member of her village that housed the Quasar Sabers until Scorpius’ then general, Furio attempted to steal them. The managed the bring the rest of the Sabers’ chosen wielders through a portal to Mirinio so they could pull out the stones and use its power. Maya had to escape from her home and live on Terra Venture after this and in a way, Maya is the one who kickstarts the entire adventure. She has proved herself to be worthy of the blade she pulled out and hopes to still use its power to help others. |
| 248 | ** Noticeable for being rather... [[MsFanservice developed for a Power Ranger]]. Even more odd is that her figure is reduced in her Ranger outfit ([[StockFootageFailure all in thanks to her Sentai counterpart being male]]). Coming from the jungle, Maya doesn’t really mind she sticks out and had pointed out [[ComicallyMissingThePoint that her form is proof of her being more physically fit as a result]]. |
| 249 | ** Obviously is friends with several jungle-dwellers/guardians. There is a JunglePrincess who is also named Maya funnily enough (Maya is no royalty but regardless, her name is common apparently). At the same time, she is a foe to those who spread pollution to the forests and deliver toxic ailments to others. |
| 250 | ** Really dislikes the monster Medusa as Furio [[TakenForGranite turned her village to stone as a way to capture the Quasar Sabers]]. Though Maya is sure that Medusa turning others does not look like poor photoshop done over post. |
| 251 | ** Tried her best to befriend Poison Ivy only to be kicked out. Maya doesn’t want to make Ivy her enemy but with that attitude, she might as well. |
| 252 | * Exclusive to Kendrix: |
| 253 | ** Kendrix is a researcher on Terra Venture and had become the Pink Galaxy Ranger. Her position in Power Ranger history is unique as [[PutOnABus she’s the only Ranger as of now to give her position to someone]] [[spoiler:posthumously]]. Luckily, [[TheBusCameBack she did return once the business with Trakeena was all said and done]] though questions arise on how her and Karone manage being the same Ranger as Kendrix did come back with her team to [[Series/PowerRangersLightspeedRescue help the Lightspeed Rescue Rangers]] while Karone was in her place [[Series/PowerRangersMegaforce during the Legendary Battle]]. Kendrix has not elaborated on these inconsistencies but has said Karone deserved to have taken her place and is proud of her to do so. |
| 254 | ** Her pursuit of knowledge really drives her character, to the point she was able (or attempted) deciphering the Galaxy Book though she was never able to see many of the things that came true out of it. She’s still trying to decipher it with the help of Histoire, Twilight Sparkle, and other fellow researchers and scientists. She even requested the help of Grimoire Weiss, a sentient tome of knowledge to help decipher another tome of knowledge. At least Weiss likes her... |
| 255 | ** Really doesn’t like Hojo or Kamen Rider Duke for being researchers who’s experiments [[ScienceIsBad went too far off the deep end]]. Is also very much wary of the Admins who would like nothing more than to make sure the Galaxy Book is not on anybody’s hands. |
| 256 | ** Is friends with Obi-Wan for one simple fact: [[spoiler:[[SpiritAdvisor they became spirits to aid their allies from the afterlife]]]]. Obi-Wan is surprised that even limited experience, Kendrix was able to face him in a duel with just her swordplay. |
| 257 | * Exclusive to Mike: |
| 258 | ** Mike is Leo’s brother and a security officer on Terra Venture. As stated before,he pulled the Red Ranger’s Quasar Saber from the stone before [[DisneyDeath he seemingly died during their escape from Mirinoi]]. Mike in truth had been saved by the Magna Defender who was trapped in the crevice as well as the Magna Defender possessed Mike’s body to escape from that place. After the Magna Defender sacrificed himself to protect Terra Venture, Mike was brought back and had been given the powers of the Magna Defender. He serves as the team’s SixthRanger and has been noted to be an incredible boom to them. |
| 259 | ** Looks rather strange for a SixthRanger, as he technically is one because he’s a person in a suit but looks far too different to be one. Regardless, he does use Morphin Grid energy when he transforms and has access to another form as the Omega Black Ranger. Even Leo was shocked to see his brother come back in an all new outfit. |
| 260 | ** Using a bull-themed Zord, Mike gets along with Cain Bloodhoof and Chiron as a result. His Tarozord also enlarges ''himself'' [[MakeMyMonsterGrow to Megazord sized as well]], which comes in handy when he really needs to take down opponents brutally if he doesn’t want to combine. |
| 261 | ** Is still very much spiritually connected to the original Magna Defender, and could feel the anger and sorrow that Scar has for the genocide of his people. Mike is very lucky his brother is still with him and for that, he’s willing to team up with Scar to take on King Bradley for leading that genocide. |

| 285 | * Opposes: [[Pantheon/HuntersAndSlayers Eredin Bréacc Glas]], [[Pantheon/IdentityIssues Revan]], anyone who favors shields. |
| 286 | * Opposed by: Many Kingdom rulers with special mention to [[Pantheon/{{Royalty}} The Fierce Protectors of Royalty]], [[Pantheon/RevengeAndRetribution Sakura Matou]] |
| 287 | * Far from the reaches of kingdoms, in a land [[VideoGame/DarkSouls cursed with an unholy sign to its inhabitants and an encroaching spread of the Abyss]], several soldiers have pledged their lives to combat the latter in crusades long counted. These are the main force of the Undead Legion of Farron. The Abyss Watchers are known to be the great warriors hellbent on destroying anything related to the Abyss. They utilize full on attacks, with no rest, as evidenced by their [[NoTrueScotsman attitudes]], [[CombatParkour style of attacks]] and [[TheDreaded their reputation]]. Sadly, [[spoiler:even after being corrupted [[AndThenJohnWasAZombie by the very thing they were sworn against]]]], they still utilize full on attacks, making them very terrifying to fight even in the face of death. |
| 288 | * The very attack movestyles they employ are actually based on their founder: [[spoiler:[[Pantheon/BladedWeapons Artorias the Abysswalker]]]]. Well, "loosely" is a better term considering that their attack styles are reminiscent but not ''exact'' as their founder. [[spoiler:One of their former members, Hawkwood the Deserter, actually knows Artorias' exact moveset, using a shield and a greatsword rather than the typical sword-dagger combo the Watchers use. [[NoTrueScotsman Too bad they laughed at him till he quitted the legion]]]]. |
| 289 | ** This very attitude of the Legion made them quite boastful of their abilities and very dangerous in combat. Unfortunately, there are openings in their movesets that a smart warrior can use against them. This made them very poor in regards to self-defense, in comparison to their offensive attacks. Their very lightweight armor does not help either. |
| 290 | * The Watchers found the Pantheon after hearing reports of The First Flame being spotted inside, as well as various dark-related abominations spotted within the vicinity. In a typical Legion-esque visit, they barged in the main gates and attempted to burn the area down. The damage the Watchers have made following them barging through the Pantheon forced Lord Gwyn to intervene as he recognized them since they pledged themselves to the First Flame. Despite the chaos done, they still reside within Pantheon grounds, but now, they are under the King's orders. [[spoiler: Though Gwyn has trust issues with the Legion following the fact that they are human to begin with, since he created the Darksign in an attempt to get rid of humanity's own Dark Soul]]. He still, however, respects them as fellow Lords of Cinder, and greatly appreciates their devotion to the First Flame. |
| 291 | ** However, the moment they noticed Knight Artorias, they immediately abandoned Gwyn in favor of the Wolfknight's commands. As Artorias expected, they have become too fanatical in their general attitude, yet despite this the Legion has dedicated themselves to serve the knight. [[spoiler: If anything, its a sign of veneration to the one knight they based themselves upon]]. |
| 292 | * Anything, or anyone who is related to dark, either for [[DarkIsNotEvil good]] or [[DarkIsEvil bad]] intentions, will be a primary target for the Abyss Watchers, as their legacy seeks to remove any trace of dark, as what they did to New Londo and burned the entire nation down. The House of Pantheon/DarknessAndShadow are keeping maximum security on due to their presence, with the Legion constantly attacking the hall getting rid of them. The people on the hall however have several opinions on them. |
| 293 | ** Chernabog is more annoyed than threatened by the fact that of all the people who dare attack him and his territory Bald Mountain, the Abyss Watchers are not feared of him at all. Even with all the ghostly minions and demons around the mountain, the Watchers have not bothered retreating and insistently kept attacking his domain. While he would intervene and kill a few of them before retreating, the Legion would always come back, bringing more soldiers and even wolves. The fact that it keeps happening on a daily basis only irritates him more. To him, the Watchers are pests; threatening pests. |
| 294 | ** Other deities have tried ignoring their constant invasions but the likes of Nightmare Moon and Dark Link only gave way through frustration as they have a few Watchers invading their personal temples. The former's presence gave way for the Watchers to find an entire group [[TheNightThatNeverEnds dedicated to plunging the Pantheon into an eternal night]], fueling the hatred the Watchers have to her. As for Dark Link, the original Link is only relieved to hear that Dark Link will have to deal with more than just him now that the Watchers will always be watching. |
| 295 | ** Midna however is '''annoyed''' with the Watchers presence. Even when she is pretty much the nicest of the hall, their attacks have only ruined her peaceful time, putting her in a more angry tone. It has gotten so bad that she decided to go to her imp form and kick their asses for trying to invade her temple. [[FromBadToWorse This only worsened the situation]] and made the attacks much stronger until the top deities of the House of Pantheon/{{Emotion}} blocked them from entering the hall per Zelda's request. |
| 296 | ** Meanwhile, Zed sees them as [[WorthyOpponent notable targets]], putting up a fight while being able to take them out for practice. Out of all the temples the Watchers attacked, his has received the third most casualties only behind Jackie and Chernabog's, forcing them to retreat. This lead to less attacks until the Master of Shadows got bored and decided to go to their temple, but instead of an easy time with the Legion, the Legion ambushed him and almost executed him until he made a last ditch teleportation and turned back into his temple. The only thing he can say after the incident is that they are both even. |
| 297 | ** Koichi has made it clear that as a person who has experienced darkness in both its purest and corrupted forms, there is balance in the dark. Unfortunately, the Abyss Watchers don't care and basically attacked him as well. Though he escaped numerous times, he sadly cannot make sense out of an extremely zealous Legion. |
| 298 | * Even for those deities outside the Pantheon/DarknessAndShadow, many other dark-related deities have started coming up within the Abyss Watchers' radar, some even have contact with disastrous results. |
| 299 | ** After their invasions towards Chernabog's temple, Xehanort was very curious about the Watchers and even planned on trying to use them, until he realised that the Watchers have no semblance of individuality among members, having instead share the same blood as their bretheren via Blood of the Wolf. This only aggravated him as he realizes that they are extremely persistent and with him and the his Seekers of Darkness targeted, they'll be one of the few to receive sudden invasions from the Legion. |
| 300 | ** SCP-106 was also dragged into the conflict, but because of [[MakeThemRot his corrosive properties]] and his ability to send portions of soldiers [[PocketDimension into a black dimension]], they have been avoiding his presence until a solution is devised. For now, out of most of the dark-related deities, this SCP is something they have no idea how to deal with. |
| 301 | ** Sakura Matou is a different story however. The moment "Dark Sakura" was heard among the pack, the Watchers started marching towards the house of Sakura and attacked her. Outnumbered and outmaneuvered, she decided to use her dark form to take the entire Legion with her until one Watcher was left. [[spoiler: Little did she know that the one Watcher [[EmergencyTransformation was readying himself up for the Lord of Cinder powers to kick in]]. The battle resulted with both Dark Sakura and the Lord of Cindered-Abyss Watcher]] lying down both defeated. The aftermath left both parties a bad taste in their mouths, as Sakura was forced to use her darkened self while the Watchers have suffered a tremendous loss fighting her. |
| 302 | ** It is true that having both light and dark in a balanced equilibrium is key to a person's life, or that is what Revan has said towards the Legion before engaging him. This resulted with Revan simply using the Force to push them further, never even giving them a little chance of hitting him. In the end, he pities them out of their single-mindedness. |
| 303 | ** On the other hand, their objective of theirs have attracted a certain old man. An Ancestor who also wishes the ghoulish fiends out of the Darkest Estate. Despite their tenuous alliance, the Ancestor has seen their prowess and is considering bringing them into the fray of the estate. In response, some of them [[https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1390943153 sent a portion of the Legion]] to combat the darkness within. |
| 304 | -->'''The Ancestor:''' "To fight the Abyss, one must know it." |
| 305 | ** However, of all the houses they are absolutely forbidden to enter, it is the Hall of Pantheon/OthernessAbominations, for there lies Manus. One would think that the Father of the Abyss is something the Legion would engage at a heart's notice, but [[spoiler: [[AndThenJohnWasAZombie after what happened with the Legion following their eventual corruption]]]], the House of Defense has created protocols to make sure not a single Watcher enters the hall, fearing that [[spoiler: [[EnemyCivilWar another Abyss Watcher civil war]]]] will take place and create chaos. |
| 306 | * Being a host of the Primordial Darkness is an arduous task, and Jackie was not pleased following the Abyss Watchers' presence, now that the Legion has been constantly watching him. Yet despite this, he pities them in a disappointing stance, considering that the Abyss Watchers can be good soldiers of duty if they just drop any grudge against the dark and sometimes be helpful rather than burning every single dark-based deity around. He even admits that the Legion itself can be helpful with him against those who wants to take the Darkness from him, but alas, such deal can he only dream |
| 307 | -->'''Jackie:''' "If only the Watchers knew more than just being against the dark, I'd be glad to help them. Just a shame they had to be ''this'' rigid." |
| 308 | * Surprisingly, one Goddess took notice when her former title was taken by the Legion. Olga was surprised to see a bunch of humans perform such aggressive tactics in their general lineup. For now, she'll enjoy watching how the Watchers fare before its her turn to take them down. |
| 309 | * Speaking of kingdoms, the Fierce Protectors or Royalty have very much opposed their ways of burning down kingdoms with no remorse. Princess Bubblegum in particular has criticized the Watchers for their constant merciless onslaughts following the fate of New Londo, fearing that they will do the same towards their kingdoms. While their intentions are noble for eliminating any signs of the Abyss, their methods are very irrational for the kings to consider. |
| 310 | * As aformentioned with their Blood Link, Skarlet has taken notice of this and sees their situation to be "unique" as very rare do people link their own blood with others, moreso an army. She wishes to get a sample of the wolf blood the Watchers use to see the various powers she could unleash, if they didn't pose a threat in the first place. |
| 311 | * Hate is a rather strong word when it comes to Zant's opinion on the Abyss Watchers. He rather despises them, with their motives and their fighting styles. Whenever he's alone, he keeps complaining and whining about their presence, always stalking or watching his move, making attacks at the Palace of Twilight with no hesitation or even attempting to put him at a corner. It doesn't help that, much like Artorias, considers him an enemy for attempting to place the world into a realm of Twilight and darkness, making him a good target for the Legion. |
| 312 | ** Another king the Legion have started to take notice of is King Allant, especially when all the hatred of both him and Gwyn escalated. The King was furious knowing that people who linked "Gwyn's precious flame" as he describes it, have started making their way into Pantheon grounds, potentially solidifying his rule. This news forced him to send a continuous army of Penetrator Metas and Boletarian Knights in an attempt to stall the Watchers. With this in mind, the King has only a few moments to spare before Gwyn starts bringing more Lords of Cinder into the mix. |
| 313 | ** And if that was not enough, another king has caught the eyes of the Legion. Mard Geer was ''not happy'' to hear that a bunch of humans have started invading his temple constantly. Despite kicking them to the curb, more Watchers seem to appear, angering him even more. |
| 314 | --->'''Mard Geer:''' "Okay, I've had ''enough'' of these damned Watchers. You have been wasting both my time and presence that it insinuates my royalty. |
| 315 | * The Legion's mode of eliminating dark has been contested by the likes of both Uther and Artix, with both seeing the Watchers' way of dealing against the dark forces rather unpleasant and merciless. Uther in particular has a beef with the Watchers, seeing them as "failed Paladins" due to a lack of mercy towards their enemies. [[spoiler: Unfortunately, any amicability between the Abyss Watchers and Artix have become null the moment it was revealed [[TheReveal that Artix is in fact, the Champion of Darkness]]. This form only angered the watchers to the point of activating their second ability the moment they met him the second time.]] At this point, both Paladins have only considered seeing them when a bigger threat arises. |
| 316 | ** This objective of theirs has annoyed Noob Saibot, as his attempts of plunging the world into a portion of darkness for Netherrealm has been on a slow pace following their presence. With them hunting every single darkness based deity one by one, it will eventually be time until Bi-Han is forced to handle the Watchers himself. |
| 317 | ** On the other hand, Guts has taken a liking for the Abyss Watchers for their tenacity, brutal methods and attacks. He is even of talking with Artorias in an idea that he can lead the Watchers against Griffith and the abominable Godhand in a war with the armies. [[spoiler: The only thing he'll need to watch out for is their corruption to the Abyss]]. |
| 318 | * Much like their inspiration, they have a rather fond affinity with wolves, as evidenced by one Watchdog of Farron where they give swordgrass as a gift of their covenant. The Great Wolf Sif was howling knowing that the wolf's bretheren was recognized among the Legion. |
| 319 | ** As a Legion, more often than not they will work in packs like their greatwolf companions. This gave interest with the Spartan Leonidas, who has stated he is willing to let the Abyss Watchers go wild with their attacks, even so much to consider them as their offensive bretheren. Ludwig also joined in on the action, but the Watchers drew their swords the moment they saw him as beast. Despite the first Church Hunter stating his peace, the Legion has been kept wary of the alliance they share with him. |
| 320 | * In an act of desperation for new allies, the Watchers have taken a liking for some deities that they declare them as honorary members of the Legion. So far, Lady Maria, Geralt of Rivia and Kiba & Akamaru have been considered into the Legion. Maria was flattered [[{{Expy}} especially noticing their similar fighting styles]], Kiba and Akamaru were excited following their sights on their greatwolves, and Geralt took the invitation with a grain of salt as he knows the Watchers would become a threat should they act different [[spoiler: as in corrupted by the Abyss]]. |
| 321 | ** The Monster Hunters have also gathered around and even considered making an alliance with the Watchers in return that the Hunters trade some herbs and that the Watchers can trade certain sorceries and gear. If needed, they will join forces against darkness-based creatures should the danger arise between the two. |
| 322 | ** The deal with Geralt unfornately brought with it danger as the King of the Wild Hunt, Eredin Glas noticed the Watchers. In return, the Legion has placed him as one of their top priorities, even so far as to be ready should the Wild Hunt start and eradicate every human. The King only laughed as he staunchly boasted that a mere legion is nothing compared to TheWildHunt. |
| 323 | * Reaper has made it clear that he will '''NOT''' join the Abyss Watchers, despite receiving some invitations and even the sword and dagger weapons. He does tolerate albeit of the Legion Etiquette gesture, in comaprison to most deities who cannot stand the edge. The Hunter was also one of the few to also receive an invitation to join the Legion but he also declined. Some of the Watchers have noticed [[{{Expy}} the Hunter's origin story, believing to be also part of the Legion]] [[spoiler: even for some [[HeWhoFightsMonsters cases of Hunters going rogue, much like the Watchers who succumbed to the Abyss and started an eternal civil war against each other]]]]. |
| 324 | * Between all the attacks the Watchers have made, two swords of unholy intentions have been eager to use the Watchers for their own needs. Soul Calibur wants to gather the Abyss Watchers in an attempt to persuade them to become her own knights of her order, while Soul Edge wants to get rid of them or better yet possess them with his own powers. By the time they were done, several legions have been sent towards each of their own temples in an attempt to purge them clean. Despite all the fighting, both legions were forced to retreat. Now the two swords consider a race on which of them will prevail over the control of the Abyss Watchers. |
| 325 | * The Legion's banner flag was raised once again when one of their warriors identified a similar figure from the House of Pantheon/JobsAndProfession, in what seems to be the same Ashen One that slayed the Legion [[spoiler: following their eventual corruption.]] This angered the Legion and forced the majority of the army to engage the house in an attempt to slay the Ashen One. When they made it, a battle ensured only until it was a one-on-one fight between a [[spoiler: Lord of Cinder-activated]] Abyss Watcher and the Ashen One. Thankfully, the top gods of the House have stopped the fight and brought the Legion back to their original spot. Despite the unfolded events, many have wondered how many have linked the Flame [[spoiler: following the reveal of the Abyss Watcher's secondary power.]] |
| 326 | ** Outside of the Ashen One however, they hold hatred towards the tyrant Sulyvahn following the latter's usage of dark, or to be more specific, the Deep. His sacrilege of Anor Londo, and usage of an unholy blob abomination only earned further hatred amongst the Legion. |
| 327 | ** Friede and Gael have unfortunately been on the Abyss Watchers' radar for a while, [[spoiler: with implications of the former using Blackflame and the latter ''eating'' the Dark Soul of Man. The latter being the top priority between the two of them.]] Funnily enough, when portions of the Watchers slowly went hollow, some resided in Friede's domain, with some Greatwolves even brought in as well. |
| 328 | * For those who wish to understand the Legion in-depth, a certain mortal has documented the Abyss Watchers' lore into a [[https://youtube.com/watch?v=9TD0zsCxO2w condensed report]]. |

| 344 | * Pitied By: The House of Pantheon/FriendshipAndCamaraderie |
| 345 | * Respected By: The Hall of Pantheon/HuntersAndSlayers, [[Pantheon/{{Ambiguity}} Lucifer]] (One-Sided on his part) |
| 346 | * Negotiable Pact With: Pantheon/GrandUnitedAllianceOfGood |
| 347 | * A mysterious man with even dark secrets, Grøh usually keeps to himself and operates either on his own or with a select few members of the Aval Organization, determined to eliminate "outsiders" in order to secure peace and stability to the world. These "outsiders" were actually Malfested, individuals who were corrupted by the power of Soul Edge, driving them into murderous insanity and undying loyalty towards the [[TheDreaded Azure Knight]]. Unfortunately, Grøh has terrible luck, he encountered the Azure Knight, Nightmare and was almost killed and the altercation resulted in Grøh becoming the very being he hunted. He hid it very well from his supporters... until one of the Aval Organization's scientists, Azwel betrayed the group and corrupted Grøh's close friend, Curtis into Malfested, forcing Grøh to kill him. Since then, Grøh has become very embittered and has developed a [[ArchEnemy harsh enmity against Azwel]], [[DarkMessiah who went on to establish]] the Qualifiers to pursue [[AGodAmI gaining godhood]] whilst [[NotSoWellIntentionedExtremist using his falsified charm and fabricating a approachable story about guiding Humanity]] to gain followers. |
| 348 | * During a recent investigation of Astral Fissures, Grøh detected something incredibly strange about it. One of the fissures was emitting a very strong aura unlike any other. When Grøh and his two close companions, Dion and Natalie began to approach it, they encountered what appeared to be [[BeastMan a hybrid between]] [[Pantheon/VillainousArchetypes man and beast]]. Grøh and his allies manage to kill off most of them and drive the rest away back into the fissure. Turns out, they had discovered a portal to a new world. The three decided to enter for further investigation, where they realized they were in a new world, one where numerous individuals from different worlds have joined with and against one another in a [[ForeverWar locked battlefield]]. |
| 349 | ** In time, Grøh also uncovered that Nightmare also resided in this world and quickly deduced that there has to be Malfested here as well. He was correct when him, Dion and Natalie were attacked by a horde of them. They were able to fend them off whereupon they encountered Siegfried, who told them that they are now in a Pantheonic plane of existence. |
| 350 | ** In a short while, Grøh met Cloud Strife who decided to hang out and spar with him for a while. The two clashed blades to demonstrate one's strength, ending with the two of them becoming friends and forming an alliance should they need each other. As a result, Cloud relinquished his dual position of {{BFS}} and BifurcatedWeapon by presenting the latter title to Grøh whilst holding on to the former. Grøh is now satisfied to be a part of the Pantheon; now that the presence of Malfested is also in this world, Grøh will be making sure to defend the Pantheon from them and Nightmare... lest Azwel also finds a way to enter. |
| 351 | * While he genuinely works for the greater good and will help out when its necessary, Grøh is independent from the numerous Pantheonic factions, normally just keeping things to himself, and with only Dion and Natalie keeping close tabs with him. He knows that his actions align close with the Pantheon/GrandUnitedAllianceOfGood, but he feels like his Malfested state can backfire on them horribly if here were to be a member, hence his reluctance to join them. |
| 352 | * Although he is independent, Grøh gets along pretty well with Siegfried and sympathizes with him as both of them lost loved ones due to Soul Edge. He has a rather OddFriendship with Cassandra and they're currently the leading opponents of any Malfested in the Pantheon. However, he has difficulty working with Sophitia. Grøh is ruthless and more than willing to kill his enemies, especially Malfested to ensure safety, but Sophitia's [[IncorruptiblePurePureness kind and warm heart]], in addition to [[TheChosenOne being blessed by the Greek Gods]] allows her to reach out and purify a Malfested from Soul Edge's influence, restoring them to their normal state. She disapproves Grøh for slaying those that can be saved without them dying, but Grøh assets that she can't always be there on time to save their soul without death being the only option. That aside, they will work together against Nightmare and his allies. |
| 353 | * Because of his indomitable will to suppress his Malfested powers and to ensure that he manages to keep his race safe, Grøh earned the respect of Lucifer and offered him a position for the Pantheon/GrandUnitedAllianceOfChaos. Grøh sharply declined, telling him that he works under his own accord and that he cannot bring himself to join a large organization for his own reasons. Since then, Lucifer has been trying to make plans to get Grøh to his side, though his stubborn nature is tough to get past. |
| 354 | * Grøh has ties to King Arthur, in the sense that the king's dying words were to encourage his followers to protect the world from Soul Edge and this is where the Aval Organization originated from. When Grøh finally met Arthur in person, he admitted to slipping up and feels bad about his friend Curtis. King Arthur was quick to forgive him and has said that regardless of his failures, Grøh was still a dedicated man. By proxy, Grøh also made quick associates with Saber, whom he would fight against occasionally to hone his skills. He expressed interest in the Holy Grail War for a moment before Saber told him that what she went through and the dangers that come from pursuing the Grail War may be too costly for him, not to mention Grøh is already associated with another large conflict involving Soul Edge. |
| 355 | * Because of his experiences with Azwel, Grøh is generally wary of scientists, though he does know that there are good ones who use their scientific knowledge to good effect. But for the likes of someone like Ryoma Sengoku, Grøh gets very easily alarmed and thinks that Ryomu is not much different from Azwel [[AGodAmI in their ultimate goals]]. As a result, Grøh hates and opposes Ryoma and every time they encounter one another, Grøh isn't going to hesitate in cutting the amoral scientist down. |
| 356 | * He gets along with other solitary heroes like Jason Todd and Spawn, all of them not being afraid to brutally kill their enemies at any given points. The three of them have stated that while they are not members of the GUAG, they are more than willing to help them out at critical situations, plus Grøh is already preparing plans to present the GUAG classified information about astral fissures in the Pantheon. |
| 357 | * Grøh suspected that astral fissures are in the Pantheon, considering Nightmare has marked his presence there already. He wasn't wrong; wormholes developed by the evil sword was unleashing a swarm of ravenous beasts, including the Beastmen, which reminded Grøh of those that he had killed before entering the Pantheon. He soon met Khazrak who soon engaged Grøh in a fierce battle, culminating in the Beastman leader declaring him a WorthyOpponent. This did not become mutual for Grøh after realizing [[RapePillageAndBurn what]] [[RapeIsASpecialKindOfEvil kind]] [[AbsoluteXenophobe of race]] the Beastmen were. Grøh has since made it clear that the Beastmen aren't any different from Malfested, except because of their tainted souls since their birth, [[AlwaysChaoticEvil they will always be bound to evil]] and hence, they were worse. |
| 358 | ** The Beastmen weren't the only beings that the astral fissures were unleashing, something which Grøh anticipated. That said, he did state that something far worse can come out of it, and that everyone should immediately take arms and start preparation. He may be needing more help than he would ask... |
| 359 | * Became enemies against Sephiroth after he interrupted a training session between Grøh and Cloud. After a brief skirmish, Grøh learned more about the One-Winged Angel and pitied him to some extent, thinking that Sephiroth, [[MoralEventHorizon for all his unforgivable actions]] was a victim to unfortunate circumstances that couldn't be helped. |
| 360 | ** Speaking of which, Grøh has a deep seeded contempt for Sephiroth's father, Professor Hojo for what he did to his wife and son, completely disregarding them and not facing responsibility for all the actions that he played a hand in. Grøh declared him to be just as bad as Ryoma and Azwel because of this and has taken arms against Cloud in regards to combating against him. |
| 361 | * He is a visitor of the House of Pantheon/FriendshipAndCamaraderie, which is surprising, given Grøh's [[PerpetualFrowner general]] [[TheStoic demeanor]]. Turns out Grøh attends the House to pay homage to his friend and comrade Curtis, who was manipulated and turned into Malfested by Azwel, whom Grøh was forced to kill. Because of this, he is welcome to attend the House of Friendship out of respect. Because Grøh remains silent and doesn't like to talk about the experience, its Dion and Natalie who take it upon themselves to explain his reasons. |
| 362 | * Grøh vehemently opposes tyrannical rulers like Master Bison and Shao Kahn because of how they constantly profess their [[AGodAmI god complex]], which reminds Grøh of Azwel. Luckily, he's found an ally in Scorpion, himself someone who was driven by vengeance and hate and is willing to give Grøh assistance. |
| 363 | ** [[VideoGame/MortalKombatX Because of events that]] [[VideoGame/MortalKombat11 have gradually softened him up]] Scorpion often hangs out with Grøh to teach him humility and compassion. Not that Grøh isn't capable of showcasing them, as he clearly has good intentions and has allies he is concerned about, but Scorpion thinks that Grøh needs to allow himself to be more expressive and hopeful about life. Recalling the time when he was bought back to his senses sometime after losing himself, Grøh has conceded. |

| 383 | * Ascended to the Pantheon after aiding 'The Underground' in overthrowing the totalitarian Tetragrammaton Council. |
| 384 | * While Preston did not create the GunKata, he is indeed ''the master'' at it. A ballet of death, to be precise. To quote Vice-Counsel [=DuPont=]: "Through analysis of thousands of recorded gunfights, the Cleric has determined that the geometric distribution of antagonists in any gun battle is a statistically predictable element. The gun kata treats the gun as a total weapon, each fluid position representing a maximum kill zone, inflicting maximum damage on the maximum number of opponents while keeping the defender clear of the statistically traditional trajectories of return fire." In layman's terms, ''Shoot where the enemy should be standing when they're aiming at you, and to not be where standing where the enemy is trying to shoot back.'' |
| 385 | * While Preston is prone to showing emotions from time to time, he's usually emotionless, as it helps him to concentrate more. |
| 386 | * Jill Valentine, Johnny Cage, and Cassandra Cage sought out Cleric Preston to learn Gun Kata from him. In Johnny's case, it's for his latest film project. For Jill and Cassie, they both want to improve on their respctive firearms techniques. While Johnny learns from Preston, Cassie and Jill learned from Preston's high priestess, Violet. |
| 387 | * [[Creator/SeanBean For some odd reason]], Lord Eddard Stark reminds Preston of his deceased comrade, Errol Partridge. |
| 388 | * Balalaika of Hotel Moscow was unimpressed with the former cleric, until he proposed a test of skill. Fortunately for Balalaika, her men was wearing body armor...and Preston wasn't going for headshots. |
| 389 | * Revy, the ascended member from Lagoon Company, had been present when Preston had blasted his way through a well-armed mafia hideout. After watching the gun kata in action, she is seriously considering taking lessons from the former Cleric. |
| 390 | * Because of his [[Creator/ChristianBale uncanny resemblance]] to [[Film/TheDarkKnightTrilogy Bruce Wayne]], Preston gets strange looks from [[Pantheon/FightingAndCombat Bane]], Ra's and Talia Al Ghul. |
| 391 | * Despite being rivals, Coyote Starrk is on somewhat good terms with Preston. So much so that Starrk has Preston to teach the gunkata class on occasion. |
| 392 | * Judge Joseph Dredd is Preston's chief ally. Seeing as how Preston's job as a Grammaton Cleric didn't pan out, he's considering offering Preston a job with the Judges. If Preston is as dangerous with his dual guns, imagine what kind of damage he can do with. Lawgiver... |

| 406 | * Opposes: [[Pantheon/LoveAndAffection Judge Claude Frollo]] |
| 407 | * Ascended because of her use several psycho weapons. While it was questioned since her main weapon is a halberd, the fact she uses it for very little reason cemented her position here. |
| 408 | * She was also ascended because Yuno Gasai noticed that her group was receiving ZeroPercentApprovalRating. Now Lily gives classes on "how to deal with yanderes" in the Pantheon so the gods can see that they don't necessarily have to be hated. Of course, [[BlackComedy the results may vary]]. [[NegativeContinuity At the very least you will come back to live if you "fail" the course]]. |
| 409 | ** The classes became more popular [[TheChewToy for some reason]] after she got Makoto Itou to help her with the classes. Though he obviously feels uncomfortable with the classes and Lily just avoided the combined wrath of Kotonoha and Sekai after they noticed that she really doesn't like him that much. |
| 410 | * Obviously, she gets along with the many yanderes in the Pantheon, though there was a time they [[http://img01.deviantart.net/bf02/i/2013/275/1/9/yandere_con_2013_by_disgaea4everdood-d6owvoe.png started trying to kill each]]. While nobody knows why that happened, [[LetUsNeverSpeakOfThisAgain they decided to not go into details anymore]]. |
| 411 | ** Shion and Rena also happened to be there for unknown reasons (It seems like they were both on Infected State). Since Shion is very ashamed of that part of her past, she and Lily don't get along. |
| 412 | * It has been noted her [[EvilLaugh laughter]] and [[ImTakingHerHomeWithMe several ot]][[ThatLiarLies her]] [[{{Expy}} things]] are very [[ShoutOut similar]] to Rena Ryuguu. The latter wasn't very happy to hear about this for mostly the same reasons as Shion. |
| 413 | * DoesNotLikeMen (except Joey, obviously) since she is still paranoid because of the [[UnrequitedLoveSwitcheroo "Yandere]] [[https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=j5AYUeWqZg8 Joey"]] incident. As such, she prefers to stay away from Kusaka/Kaixa as much as she can, but does not mind him that much given how [[ComedicSociopathy everyone behaves in her world]]. |
| 414 | * She doesn't have a high opinion of Frollo, seeing him as an hypocrite for hiding in "faith" (which he somehow believes that turns him automatically good and he isn't) and being ashamed of his obsession. [[AtLeastIAdmitIt At least she admits to be a yandere!]] |
| 415 | * Is acquainted with the Franchise/TouhouProject deities [[VirtualPaperDoll for some reason]]. Though only Flandre Scarlet ever admits to know her. They can often be seeing sparring. |
| 416 | * Is not a demon in spite of her name. At least, we believe that she isn't. She still made [[Pantheon/HairStyles Flynn]] feel wary at first, at least until he noticed she was just a normal girl with [[WhoNamesTheirKidDude a weird name]] and not the demon that he once met. |

| 461 | * Avoids: [[Pantheon/SpecializedNarratives Yosuke Hanamura]] (Seth only) |
| 462 | * Applies to both: |
| 463 | ** The Night Blade is an organisation dating back to 500 years in the past. Tasked with protecting the secrets and the order of the Hollow Night, they partake in the slaying of Voids. Though their numbers have shrunk greatly in the modern day, there still exist members, such as these two; Linne, the Princess of the Night Blade, and Seth, the Assassin, sworn to his duty. |
| 464 | ** The two of them are known to butt heads despite sharing the same goal of putting an end to Linne's [[BodySurf immortality]]. This is because Seth aims to do so by force, seizing the Insulator, the only weapon capable of doing so, and slaying her with it. Linne does not agree with this because while she ''does'' want to die, she has other things she wants to achieve before doing so. Ignoring this, Seth still aims to accelerate Linne's death as much as he possibly can. |
| 465 | ** For this reason, Linne was not pleased to learn that she would be ascending with him, ''especially'' once she learned that Hyde would also be there. Predictably, one of the first things Seth did once they ascended was track Hyde down and challenge him for the Insulator. Despite Linne's protests, the two ended up fighting, and though it ended in a draw, Seth made it abundantly clear that he does not intend to give up anytime soon. |
| 466 | ** The two of them earned their position for the speedy, precise and skilful manner in which they wield their weaponry, [[ReverseGrip despite the way they consistently hold them]] [[AwesomeButImpractical typically being deemed impractical at best]]. As sharers of the trope, they spend much of their time together, largely due to Seth's insistence on remaining near her whenever possible. This hasn't worked out as well for Seth as he would have hoped, since it means he has to spend more time than he deems necessary around [[Pantheon/NamingConvention Hyde]] and [[Pantheon/PhysicalAppearance Waldstein]]. |
| 467 | ** Despite not typically seeing eye-to-eye on many things, there is one deity the two of them mutually despise; [[Pantheon/{{Reclusiveness}} Ra's al Ghul]]. As an immortal and an assassin, respectively, neither Linne nor Seth are overly fond of the [[BreadEggsBreadedEggs immortal assassin]] who chose to turn to evil. Linne also finds his [[ImmortalsFearDeath fear of death]] to be a tad silly, and Seth disapproves of how he had to assemble an entire ''league'' of assassins to do his dirty work, while Seth himself has a tendency to [[IWorkAlone work alone]]. |
| 468 | ** Though not as much as Ra's, the two of them find [[Pantheon/NiceAndNasty Hazama]] to be a piece of work. Having encountered him together, both came out of the encounter incredibly annoyed. Seth remembers him as the "clown" he met during the [[VideoGame/BlazBlueCrossTagBattle clash of fates]], and as such did not appreciate the green-haired trickster treating him like an old friend. While Linne never interacted with him before, him insistently treating her like a little girl, even ''after'' learning of her predicament, irritated her to no end. Hazama's parting words, in particular, left both of them, after [[{{Troll}} all that he put them through]], feeling the need to restrain themselves so that they didn't hit someone. |
| 469 | --> '''Hazama:''' Well, Seth, old pal, as nice as it's been catching up with you, I really do have places to be. It can be dangerous up here, so you'd better make sure your daughter stays safe, alright? |
| 470 | ** Speaking of said crossing fates, the two of them received a chance to reunite with many of the people they had met in that time, though Seth was much less enthusiastic about this because he didn't get along with many people there. One such example of this dichotomy was with [[Pantheon/SpecializedNarratives Yosuke Hanamura]], who recognised the two of them and greeted them with perhaps a bit too much zeal for either of their liking. Linne, at least, was able to remember their past battles fondly and humored him a little, though when it came to Yosuke's idea of looking cool, she found herself unable to keep up. As for Seth... |
| 471 | --> '''Yosuke:''' Hah, it's been so long! But now, the Badass Brothers are back! |
| 472 | --> '''Seth:''' Princess...please, do not make me suffer another moment in his presence. |
| 473 | ** One time, the two of them found themselves caught in the crossfire of a battle between a [[Pantheon/ActsOfHatred strange armored man]] and a horde of [[Pantheon/GiantsAndSmallfolk Skarsnik's]] goblins. As Linne is, to Goblin Slayer's knowledge, a small, frail girl, this only drove him to fight even harder, lest they get their hands on her. As it turned out, though, Linne was more than capable of taking on goblins on her own, and with Seth by her side, they managed to take a good load of work off Goblin Slayer's shoulders. He has since become good allies with the two of them, Linne and Seth both appreciating his efforts in trying to protect the former, and him occasionally requesting their assistance in fighting goblins. |
| 474 | ** Being a heroic wanderer of the Hollow Night and a proud member of the Night Blade, respectively, neither of them tolerate the presence of [[Pantheon/UnorthodoxCombat Hilda]] in the Pantheon. Both of them disapprove of her reckless use of EXS, which has clearly not ceased since her ascension, and neither of them want to know what kind of chaos a Re-Birth would bring to the Pantheon. As such, they both want to avoid that happening as much as possible, and so they have made it no secret that they oppose her. This has also triggered some ''major'' TeethClenchedTeamwork between Seth and Hyde as a result. |
| 475 | ** Additionally, neither one gets along particularly well with [[Pantheon/{{Laughter}} Carmine Prime]]. The dude is just too crazy and irritable for either one to speak on positive terms with, and he's too much of a BloodKnight in their eyes. He spends the Night wandering around and beating up anyone who pisses him off, something Seth experienced once time. While Linne never met him prior to her ascension, stories from both [[StrangeMindsThinkAlike Hyde and Seth]] have taught her to be careful to not use the nickname "Lobster" or "Crayfish" whenever he's around. |
| 476 | * Applies to Linne: |
| 477 | ** The princess of the Night Blade, Linne was, alongside her brother, part of the human experiments run by the organisation to create new abilities, and as such, she gained the ability to transfer her consciousness to other bodies, which [[BodySurf triggers automatically upon her death]]. As a result, she is effectively immortal, but the guilt she feels over the countless lives she has destroyed this way has caused her [[DeathSeeker to seek some way to]] [[DeaderThanDead die permanently]]. |
| 478 | ** Thus far, the only means of this happening is through Hyde's weapon, the Insulator, which can cause CessationOfExistence on anyone he wishes. As the two of them have managed to become ''friends'', however, she has come to not want to force that on his conscience, which further conflicts her. Ascending to the Pantheon was, for her, a double-edged sword; while it is going to be difficult to settle her score with her brother when he has yet to ascend, she could potentially look into other methods of permanent death, which she can find after she manages to meet her goal; the entire House of Pantheon/DeathAndPostmortem is a point of interest to her as a result. |
| 479 | ** One individual who earned her ire almost immediately upon meeting her was [[Pantheon/BodilyForm Dante]], whose habit of {{Body Surf}}ing for selfish purposes quickly established her as Linne's EvilCounterpart - after all, the princess doesn't mean to ruin the lives of others with her powers. For her, it just happens, and she wants it to stop as soon as she can. It sickens her to her core, seeing Dante do it without so much as caring for her victims. For similar reasons, she disapproves of [[Pantheon/MannersOfRevival The Mage of the Beginning]], who possesses whoever kills her and uses their bodies to commit more evil. |
| 480 | ** She is friends with many of the heroic ''VideoGame/UnderNightInBirth'' deities, such as [[Pantheon/FightingStyles Orie Ballardiae]] and [[Pantheon/WeaponizedAppendages Vatista]], both of whom she met through Hyde. [[ClingyJealousGirl Though she has found herself getting a little irritated at imagining the former and Hyde together]], the two are still largely on amicable terms. |
| 481 | ** While wandering the House of Pantheon/DeathAndPostmortem, she came across the {{Shinigami}} [[Pantheon/AfterlifeEntities Ryuk]], who had heard of her desire to die and became curious. In their conversation, he offered her a chance to finally die by writing her name in his Death Note whenever she wished. Though intrigued, she rejected the offer entirely, which interested him and caused him to question why. This prompted an explanation of her immortality and the way it works, and actually triggered a hint of sympathy in the death god. |
| 482 | --> '''Linne:''' As much as I'd like to accept your offer, Ryuk, I'd rather not throw away the life of yet another little girl. |
| 483 | ** As much as she laments her own situation, she cannot help but look at [[Pantheon/MannersOfRevival Yune]]'s with a degree of pity. Like her, Yune suffers from ResurrectionSickness whenever she is revived, but the Chaos God's is to a much greater degree. It was to such a point that she couldn't take a form stronger than a little bird, and even the few things she could do tired her out because she was so weak. That there doesn't seem to be a solution in sight just made things worse, and so Linne couldn't help but feel sorry for her. |
| 484 | ** Has issues with villainous immortals in general, as for her, they represent a path she could have gone down were she to give up her scruples. As such, she looks upon the likes of [[Pantheon/FormsOfImmortality Orochimaru]] with severe distaste, as not only does she know of everything he's done in the ''search'' for immortality - it doesn't help that she views his pursuit as mad and [[WhoWantsToLiveForever honestly not that worth it]] - but he just seriously creeps her out, even if she's usually [[TheStoic pretty good at keeping this contained]]. |
| 485 | ** Thanks to the [[VideoGame/BlazBlueCrossTagBattle clash of fates]], Linne has spent time trying to find some of the people she befriended, an endeavour that has proven successful thus far. Aside from the aforementioned Yosuke, she also managed to meet up with [[Pantheon/{{Touring}} Celica A. Mercury]], who she gets along with despite the latter's insistence on treating her like a little girl. She knows that unlike Hazama, she doesn't mean any ill will, but doesn't correct her because [[{{Cloudcuckoolander}} she doesn't seem like she would get it even if it was explained]]. |
| 486 | ** [[Pantheon/{{Vampires}} Rachel Alucard]] is an unlikely ally of hers, too. Despite their seemingly-opposite personalities and mildly vitriolic tendencies, the two of them do concede that they work well together in a fight, They can, at least, relate to one another for both being OlderThanTheyLook, even if the circumstances behind both are a little different, as well as having to 'babysit' Hyde and [[Pantheon/{{Ambiguity}} Ragna]], respectively. |
| 487 | ** Her alliance with [[Pantheon/HeroicRoles Hakumen]] is a little tenuous, as while she views him as being overly serious and on occasion patronising, she ''does'' recognise that he is one of the few unambiguously heroic characters from his [[CrapsackWorld home]] [[GrayAndGrayMorality universe]] (even if he's a [[GoodIsNotNice jerk]] about it), and thus approves of what he does. On Hakumen's part, he is rather interested in how a girl as seemingly little as her can be so strong. |
| 488 | ** As a fellow practitioner of ReverseGrip, she has found herself getting along with [[Pantheon/TheatricProduction Pit]], who was eager to meet a representative of one of his less-represented tropes. Upon interacting with him, she found the flightless angel to be much like Yosuke, but admired his strong, eager sense of justice nonetheless, and regards him as a good friend. |
| 489 | |
| 490 | ''"You let your emotions get the best of you. Might want to work on that. Just a bit of friendly advice from an old lady."'' |
| 491 | |
| 492 | * Applies to Seth: |
| 493 | ** Long ago, members of the Night Blade rebelled against the organisation's goal of controlling how people use the power of EXS, believing that people should be free to use their abilities however they wish. Among these individuals was Seth's ancestor, and knowing this, in the present day, Seth aims to [[TheAtoner atone]] for his people's rebellious ways, and as such, he aims to do good by ending the curse put on Linne and her brother using the Insulator blade to cut them down...whether they like it or not. |
| 494 | ** This goal of his has naturally brought him into conflict with [[Pantheon/NamingConvention Hyde]] and [[Pantheon/PhysicalAppearance Waldstein]], both of whom have [[DeclarationOfProtection sworn to protect Linne]]. For the most part, he only really cares about Hyde, as he is the one in possession of the Insulator, which he plans to take from him. And so, a fierce rivalry was born, and one with no conclusion in sight; as the two have a tendency to tie in their matchups. His relationship with Waldstein is...different. |
| 495 | --> '''Seth:''' Slow legs. |
| 496 | --> '''Waldstein:''' Puny arms. |
| 497 | ** He found a curious connection to [[Pantheon/NiceAndNasty Gunvolt]], as the two of them had some similarities as well as some differences; both of them are teenaged assassins torn between their desire to do their duty and their desire to protect the girl in their lives. The difference, however, is that Seth ultimately chose to prioritise the former, while Gunvolt decided to do the latter, instead. In essence, [[ToBeLawfulOrGood Seth chose to be Lawful, and GV chose to be Good]]. The two of them have mixed feelings about one another due to this, but have ultimately chosen to AgreeToDisagree. He ''does'' have at least a little bit of respect for GV, however, and thus finds him greatly preferable to his enemy, [[Pantheon/{{Categorism}} Asimov]]. It doesn't help that what he does (monitoring people who ''do'' have powers) and what Asimov does (oppressing people who ''don't'') are more or less opposites. |
| 498 | ** Seth has taken an interest in many of the other assassins in the Pantheon, feeling as though he might be able to make use of some of their techniques. As such, he has struck up an alliance with many members of the Hall of Pantheon/KillersAndAssassins, such as the Black Organisation, Hassan-I-Sabbah and Ezio Auditore. He especially respects Hassan and Ezio for being able to lead their respective assassin orders while still being formidable and active on their own. Not that he has any intention on joining them, though. [[IWorkAlone He's kind of a lone wolf]]. |
| 499 | ** Having become aware of the existence of other assassins outside the aforementioned Hall, he couldn't help but be curious, especially upon learning that [[HarmfulToMinors some of them are teenagers like him]]. So, his search throughout the Pantheon led him to befriend [[Pantheon/OtherPowers Killua Zoldyck]] and [[Pantheon/NamingIdentification Maki Harukawa]], both of whom were brought into the assassin business at a young age. As none of them are overly sociable, their conversations when they hang out are short and terse at best, but Seth does not dislike their company, at least. |
| 500 | ** While Linne gets along with Pit, Seth finds the flightless angel annoying, a sentiment shared with [[Pantheon/ClonesAndCounterparts Dark Pit]]. It is for this reason, [[IWorkAlone among]] [[ReverseGrip others]], that Seth has found more of a kinship with the dark-winged doppelganger, as they find they have much in common. Much appreciated from Dark Pit's half is that Seth either doesn't know or doesn't use the name "[[EmbarrassingNickname Pittoo]]" to refer to him. |
| 501 | ** Though he'd rather die than outwardly show it, Seth was rather pleased to learn that many of the deities he met in the [[VideoGame/BlazBlueCrossTagBattle clash of fates]] have ascended into the Pantheon. One such deity is [[Pantheon/TimePlacement Mitsuru Kirijo]], who he treats with [[PetTheDog an uncharacteristic amount of reverence and respect]] due to her high status and battle prowess. |
| 502 | ** Another is [[Pantheon/SpecializedNarratives Naoto Shirogane]], who harbor a mutual civility to one another, due to their surprising amount of synergy. Though, he's seen the rest of [[RagtagBunchOfMisfits the Investigation Team]] and frankly, he's very curious as to how she's able to tolerate those guys, especially Yosuke, regularly enough to constantly work with them. |
| 503 | --> '''Naoto:''' Well...you get used to it, I guess. |
| 504 | ** Additionally, he has found himself getting along somewhat with [[Pantheon/EyeColors Yumi]], a fellow assassin, and one who he finds to be similar to Linne. That is to say, not only is her personality not unlike his Princess, but he also finds her company to be rather questionable, as she is friends with all sorts of excitable, scandalous types who quickly drain Seth's energy. |
| 505 | ** And finally, he has found himself on decent terms with [[Pantheon/WeaponPlacement Blake Belladonna]], whose past has elicited sympathy in him, even though to unearth it, he had to do a little digging due to her reluctance to tell him directly. Learning this led to him learning about Adam Taurus's existence, and suffice it to say, he does ''not'' like him. Not only because of what he's done to Blake, but because [[YouRemindMeOfX he reminds him too much of Hyde]]; from the personalities (though Hyde is ''much'' nicer than him, other traits such as their {{Hot Blooded}}ness remain similar) and their attire. Even Adam's sword is much too similar to the Insulator for Seth's liking. This animosity is, naturally, reciprocated. [[FantasticRacism Seth's human, after all]]. |
| 506 | ** Despite being another "blue rival to the red protagonist", Seth is looked at disapprovingly by his predecessors [[Pantheon/HeroicRoles Ky Kiske]] and [[Pantheon/NiceAndNasty Jin Kisaragi]]. Both think he lacks honour due to fighting in the shadows rather than straightforwardly like them, and Ky in particular feels uneasy witnessing his AboveGoodAndEvil attitude, while Jin scorns his "pointless sentimentality" regarding Linne. Seth, personally, doesn't give a rat's ass. What he's doing gets the job done, so why complain? |

| 543 | * Born on the beaches of Normandy as the Allies charged against the Axis defenses, the son of [[Pantheon/ObedienceMindsets The Boss]] led a colorful life intertwined with several conspiracies that almost brought the world to ruin. Raised by the Soviet Philosophers, Ocelot would find himself defecting to the United States and being an informant for the CIA under the guise of a GRU operative. During FOX's Virtuous Mission, Ocelot [[LoveAtFirstSight fatefully met]] the future Big Boss, Naked Snake, and would be transfixed with the Legendary Soldier throughout the latter Operation Snake Eater. After recovering half a billion dollars for Zero, [[DefectorFromDecadence Ocelot would join Cipher as an informant for them after turning against the CIA]]. However, his loyalties remained with Big Boss as Ocelot help guard him when XOF's attack induced Big Boss into a coma, and aided Big Boss's escape upon reawakening. Ocelot dedicated the remaining years of his life to saving Big Boss from the Patriots' hands upon his defeat on Zanzibar Land. [[TheStarscream He would present himself as an ally to Liquid Snake, Solidus Snake, and the Patriots themselves all to one day have Big Boss see the sun once again]]. A dramatic step in his plan was brainwashing himself to believe he was Liquid Snake after grafting Liquid’s arm onto himself, where he would after lead Outer Haven, the largest company of PrivateMilitaryContractors assembled for the war economy. Liquid Ocelot sought to take control of the entire planet by eliminating the Patriots' hold on humanity. But Solid Snake and his allies defeated Liquid Ocelot once and for all, though Ocelot still won by freeing Big Boss, his idol, from his prison. [[TheBadGuyWins It was a pretty good trick as one would say.]] |
| 544 | * Ocelot would finally have the fruits of his labor be seen in the Pantheon upon reuniting with Big Boss. Since he came to the Pantheon first, he was in a position to advocate for Big Boss coming to the Pantheon though wanted to accommodate Big Boss as best he could. [[ObstructiveBureaucrat The Pantheon courts denied Big Boss bringing so much with him even if Ocelot said others could share that precedent]]. He was in a verbal war to get Big Boss to the Pantheon, though was forced concessions as they did not allow Big Boss to bring back an entire army with him unless the entirety of Outer Heaven made a case for itself which wasn't happening. [[CantGetAwayWithNuthin No heralds to bring, no followers to bring, they would have to build a new Outer Heaven from scratch]]. When Ocelot reunited with Big Boss, the latter was flattered by Ocelot's dedication to bringing him back and trying his hardest to roll the metaphorical red carpet for him. Ocelot replied that he does so because [[PlatonicDeclarationOfLove he probably is still in love with the legend more than anybody else]]. |
| 545 | -->'''Ocelot:''' Let's go bring that legend back to life, John. |
| 546 | -->''Ocelot goes up to Big Boss, [[ForcefulKiss and then suddenly kisses the Legendary Mercenary on the lips.]]'' |
| 547 | -->'''Ocelot:''' I’m sorry but after all that time I spent in a facade, I needed that. |
| 548 | -->'''Big Boss:''' I get it. I think... |
| 549 | * His role as a commander in the new Outer Heaven is managing the support team and [[SinisterSpyAgency the intelligence network]], both being extremely effective departments thanks to Ocelot’s career. Ocelot is more than qualified to Outer Heaven on his own after running an army that was larger than the combined population of Canada and Mexico. In 2014, Canada's and Mexico's populations were 35.44 million and 118.8 million respectively. This means the Outer Heaven mother company had more than ''[[WeHaveReserves 154.24 million employees]]'' contributing to its cause. Ocelot would decline to be the NumberTwo as Ocelot knows Big Boss's charisma has a far greater reach than what Liquid Ocelot had even if his Outer Heaven has more members to it. Ocelot is content with working for Big Boss in the shadows, only coming out when it is to annihilate their enemy. For the second highest authority on Outer Heaven, Ocelot brought back Ahab, the one who [[BodyDouble took the mantle of Big Boss ]]and was christened by Ocelot to become Venom Snake. If Big Boss cannot be there to be the symbol for their military nation, then Venom Snake will be that symbol until the true Big Boss comes back into the limelight. [[IdenticalTwinMistake He finds it a bit shameful on his end that putting them side-by-side, it is difficult to differentiate the Big Bosses.]] |
| 550 | ** On another note, the ''other'' commander of Outer Heaven is Gray Fox whom Ocelot both [[VillainRespect admires yet feels apprehension for]]. Gray Fox is indeed another loyal soldier to Big Boss who will throw his life for it when asked, though Ocelot still has not gotten over Gray Fox [[AnArmAndALeg suddenly chopping his hand off]]. Despite how well it worked out for him for losing his arm and replacing it with Liquid's arm, there is no getting around that he still lost his right arm which he favored. Gray Fox is surprisingly apologetic for it, saying that Ocelot is allowed to cut off his arm if it meant they're on equal footing. [[TalkToTheFist Ocelot decided that punching Fox square in the robotic face with his newer arm was more cathartic]]. He already had to deal with [[LegacyCharacter a second cybernetic ninja]] at the Big Shell who tried chopping off his arm, so he wants to send a message his arm is not for chopping. |
| 551 | * His Liquid Ocelot persona is more known than his Shalashaska identity due to how widespread his Outer Heaven company was ([[CorporateConspiracy despite its role as an owner for several mercenary companies not being that known]]). As a result, people still refer to Ocelot as Liquid even if the actual Liquid Snake is present. Not even his [[CharacterRerailment getting back to his gun-twirling, cowboy getup]] could stop this impression with a handful of people knowing who Ocelot truly is. The real Liquid Snake whom Ocelot propped up has found a new reason to despise his former comrade for this. Not only did Ocelot manipulate him under the order of his younger brother, but now has also taken over his identity. Ocelot would balk at such accusations, [[EnemyWithin considering Liquid Snake really did possess him in the Manhatten Tanker and the Big Shell]], where Liquid proceeded to try to find where the Patriots were. It took cutting off his right hand ''[[HereWeGoAgain again]]'' and replacing it with another for Ocelot to gain control of his body... until he brainwashed himself to think he was Liquid Ocelot once more. Ocelot out of spite for Liquid Snake, still imposes the idea that Liquid was born the inferior clone no matter how much contrary evidence is offered. [[PayEvilUntoEvil Ocelot also calls him Eli for kicks.]] |
| 552 | -->'''Ocelot:''' This is the result of going against me, perverting Big Boss’s dream. Your temper, your whininess, makes it clear why Les Effants Terribles gave you the recessive genes. |
| 553 | ** When it comes to his relationship with his other former FOXHOUND members, he is much more cordial than he does with Liquid. [[EasilyForgiven Sniper Wolf and Raven would not care that the group was betrayed if it meant helping out the admirable Big Boss]]. Decoy Octopus ''would'' be pissed that their group was meant to fall though would let go of his anger if Ocelot offered a substantial acting job. The only one Ocelot will still be on bad terms would be Psycho Mantis, not just because Mantis was a pawn for XOF. Ocelot was always on edge with Mantis considering [[{{Telepathy}} Mantis could read his mind ]]to ruin his plans. Ocelot anticipated this and [[PsychicBlockDefense trained himself in psychic blockage]] like what Donald did. |
| 554 | * Solid Snake carries a strange relationship with Ocelot who was his most recurring foe up until their final battle. [[FinalBattle The last son of Big Boss versus the last son of The Boss, fighting atop the world]]. Much of Solid Snake's animosity for Ocelot is for his Liquid Ocelot persona, though it doesn’t mean he has gripes with the man himself. [[WellIntentionedExtremist Ocelot did cause an arms race of Metal Gears, leading to the rise of the war economy. Even if it was to save his father, Ocelot had directly and indirectly killed a lot of people in the process]]. Ocelot does not share hostility towards Solid Snake, acknowledging that this Snake is the closest to succeeding Big Boss than any of his brothers. Although Ocelot would wish to fight Snake once more, the FOXDIE that Snake has is an issue even if Snake has treatment for it. Having a heart attack is unpleasant as Shalashaska could attest to. |
| 555 | -->'''Ocelot:''' [[SayMyName FOX… DIE!]] |
| 556 | -->''Ocelot collapses in front of Solid Snake.'' |
| 557 | -->'''Snake:''' Ocelot, I'm not going to be tricked again- |
| 558 | -->'''Ocelot:''' [[FauxDeath THINK AGAIN!]] Sorry, but that won't work a fourth time! |
| 559 | * Regarding his relationship with the third of the sons of Big Boss, George Sears, it is much more cordial than what beef Liquid has with Ocelot. If he did not know that Ocelot being a spy for the Patriots was a thing, he would have cut the man down right there and then. When Solidus discovered Ocelot led the end of the Patriots, he was relieved that all his efforts against them were not in vain. Although Solidus still does not have goodwill with Ocelot for allowing [[FateWorseThanDeath his barely-conscious body to be skinned and amputated to rebuild Big Boss]]. Ocelot just says that he was busy being Liquid to have a say on that deal. [[MurderIsTheBestSolution He would have put more of both Solidus and Liquid in Big Boss even if it was something small as a better immunity system]]. |
| 560 | -->'''Big Boss:''' Wait, both of you had the same ''vampire'' working for you? |
| 561 | -->''Big Boss backs away from Ocelot out of concern.'' |
| 562 | -->'''Ocelot:''' Well, he wasn’t called Vamp because of the blood-sucking and invincibility. [[NonIndicativeName He was named Vamp because he’s bisexual.]] |
| 563 | * Ocelot knew who his true parentage was, as even he would question why he was promoted to a major regardless of his young age. As Volgin and many connected to the Philosophers know, [[SecretLegacy Ocelot is the son of Voyevoda and The Sorrow who was taken from them as a child by Philosopher agents shortly after being born]]. Ocelot could be said to be a progenitor of offspring with "[[SuperpowerfulGenetics soldier genes]]" like the sons of Big Boss. He would eventually discover his parentage at least before instilling Big Boss's persona on an unconscious Ahab, with the fact not bothering him that much at the present. He is incredibly courteous to his mother, however, regarding her highly even if she is on those [[WebVideo/Max0r wicked capitalist Americans']] side in Outer Heaven's political war. Being his mother, the first quiet moment between him and Ocelot was her [[DopeSlap smacking him in the head]] for being such a nuisance to people after her death. Not that it was undeserved, of course. |
| 564 | * Ocelot may have been a founding Patriot, but he was not particularly keen on the OneWorldOrder that Zero wished to bring. It was Big Brother that came back to life, gripping its claws on the planet enough that the world accepted its fate of being oppressed by them. Though he may have kept contact with Zero after Big Boss left Cipher and helped hide Big Boss from XOF, Ocelot has no obligation to help Zero and his unilateralism. He wants to capture Zero so Outer Heaven can use Zero's endless resources to their advantage [[HiddenVillain though the man himself is slippery]]. Not even Ocelot's powerful information network could find the man who seemingly vanished from the Pantheon. What Ocelot does know is where the Patriots but he has to find a way to destroy them without triggering a nuclear war. That requires Outer Heaven to be stronger first, [[TeamDad which he already has experience in doing.]] |
| 565 | * Ocelot is a massive fan of [[AmericansAreCowboys spaghetti westerns and takes up pretty of mannerisms and apparel based on the Wild West]]. He is such a fan that as a major, he had his troupe take up the appearances of cowboys even though [[UniformityException it was so much against Soviet uniform regulation]]. He knows that using revolvers may be less effective than using standard weapons that he knows how to use but dammit, he insists on showcasing his skills with the revolver. Not that he is a slouch, considering his twirling fended off an army of hornets. His dedication to the cowboy motif has earned his respect and ire over the cowboys of the Pantheon. There are those like the Man with No Name who would call Ocelot a man who embodies [[NewOldWest the spirit of the Wild West in the modern era]]. Then there are those like Dillon and Lucky Luke who consider Ocelot a menace thanks to [[DoomMagnet his unpredictable tendency to draw some bad problems]] to their territories. Ocelot would not deny that his critics have a right to fear him. |
| 566 | ** Hol Horse and Ocelot had a bit of a standoff after word got around Ocelot was such a good shot, he used a bullet to knock the gun out of Nack the Weasel's hand ([[EvilIsPetty just because Nack was talking badly about Slinger the Ocelot]]). Seeing as his Stand could home in on objects, Hol Horse was sure that he could win a contest of precision. It didn't work when [[WilliamTelling he threw the bottle into the air]] and the sun's glare got on his eyes. Ocelot just took a glance at the bottle's trajectory, shooting the bullet at a metallic railing nearby that had the bullet ricochet to the falling bottle. After seeing that, Ocelot got Hol Horse's highest admiration. |
| 567 | * Not only is Ocelot considered one the greatest spymasters in the Pantheon, but Ocelot is also one of the most infamous torturers the Pantheon has seen yet. [[TheDreaded He was feared by the name of Shalashaska by the Mujihadin for that reason, him bringing out the most efficient torture methods to wring out information from people in a concise manner]]. What he especially likes to use is [[ElectroconvulsiveTherapyIsTorture electrical equipment from rods to chairs]] as he loves frying a person from the inside. [[NotSoAboveItAll He now understands why Volgin enjoyed it]]. It got him in the crosshairs of Herman Carter who enjoys torturing people with electricity perhaps more than Ocelot does. Although Ocelot is the more efficient torturer because he knows a lot more techniques than Carter could do and could get creative with them. [[ColdBloodedTorture One time, he used a cheese grater and fed the fleshy flakes to his victim]]. Herman Carter was even sent a bottle of those flakes, not knowing what it was, [[TheSecretOfLongPorkPies and thought it was some odd ice cream topping]]. |
| 568 | * Ocelot does not have good opinions about Mother Russia, [[WhyWeAreBummedCommunismFell especially after the Soviet Union fell.]] It is not as if he had been a true patriot for his nation prior, though he at least thought the Soviet Union stood for something. He believes [[UsefulNotes/TheNewRussia modern Russia]] does not stand for any ideals, turning into a nation of clingers to the past and bowering to whatever despots take the nation's reigns. He is not even willing to side with ultranationalist Russians as Ocelot believes that there is no saving Russia outside of [[RestartTheWorld complete societal upheaval]]. Soviets of the Pantheon were enraged when it was declassified that Ocelot had spied for the West throughout the Soviet Union's existence. A certain famous official of the Soviet Union, Georgy Zhukov, was more enraged than anyone that the KGB's premier torturer was an American dog (although Ocelot worked for a British man). To humiliate Ocelot, Zhukov invited him to an interview on live television where he intended to scrutinize all of Ocelot's actions against them. [[HoistByHisOwnPetard Though knowing what Zhukov planned for him, Ocelot went because he intended to humiliate Mother Russia for trying to get back at him on the national broadcast]]. He mentioned some shady things leaders in UsefulNotes/NikitaKhrushchev's regime witnessed ([[DirtyOldMan like maybe hanging out with young attractive girls too much]]), leading to Zhukov going on a [[ClusterFBomb cuss-filled tirade]] of denial on a national broadcast. |
| 569 | ** Ocelot was so burned by the American Philosophers creating their war between the Pentagon and the CIA that he was set on retiring from his spy job if it were not for Zero conceding that Big Boss would join them. [[NeverSuicide Ocelot assassinated the DCI of the time and framed his death as a suicide]], something that the world would know once those files were declassified during the war economy. It is also known Ocelot assassinated the United States president, James Johnson, [[HeKnowsTooMuch for speaking too much about the Patriots’ plans]]. CIA agent Stan Smith has sworn to avenge these authority figures and prevent Ocelot from doing more harm, though Ocelot would like to point out that the CIA was trying to prolong the UsefulNotes/ColdWar at the time with their Metal Gears. |
| 570 | * When Cole Cassidy challenged Ocelot to a DualWielding pistols match, Ocelot could not refuse. The reason Cassidey asked for this is due to Ocelot's notorious reputation as a gunslinger with few peers. His skills with the revolver may be a bit rusty thanks to Liquid Ocelot [[FingerGun using his fingers as an imaginary gun]] to shoot people with ([[FingerFirearms it worked because of nanomachines]]), but that does not mean Ocelot will lose his touch in the heat of battle. Many bullets bounced across surfaces in their brief dual but in the end, Cassidy stood on top of Ocelot's shot body. But then as the match ended, [[BackFromTheDead Ocelot stood up from the floor with little injury]] and [[ResetButton the round timer reset]]. Telling Cassidy to think again, [[EvilGloating Ocelot proceeded to point and laugh at his foe as he walked away backward]], winning the match by knocking Cassidy by riddling him with equally as many bullets. [[RiddleForTheAges Cassidy does not know how in the world Ocelot did that]], though couldn't process it as unconsciousness took hold of him. Ocelot conceded that Cassidy is a more agile fighter than he is, maybe even better at the revolver too. Ocelot is willing to use every trick under the sun to succeed, something that Cassidy may not do. [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking Plus, those cosmetics Cassidy won from lootboxes and battle passes gave him no tactical advantage whatsoever]]. Cassidy did have another way to secure victory. |

| 572 | * Melkor considers Ocelot an ally yet is also highly cautious around Ocelot. Though his loyalties go to Big Boss, Ocelot has been a [[ExpertConsultant military consultant]] for many groups. He might as well work with others after so many offers were made for his strategic prowess and business expertise. The most consistent person that Ocelot works with is Melkor who admits that he owes a lot to Ocelot for fixing many things for him, [[KickedUpstairs to the point Melkor has Ocelot in a high position to keep a close eye]]. Resource allocation, unit roles, morality, security, and even taxes are what Ocelot was able to cover for Melkor. Melkor also respects Ocelot [[HonestAdvisor for being quite frank with him]] even if it could be upsetting, [[RefugeInAudacity such as shooting Melkor on his throne to demonstrate the poor security of the place]]. Despite valuing his skills, [[TheManInFrontOfTheMan Melkor is aware of Ocelot’s backstabbing reputation is more notorious than Starscream’s]]. For this, Melkor [[ProperlyParanoid generated millions of countermeasures]] against Ocelot as even ''one'' step could put whatever Melkor plans at risk. Not even his most suspicious of allies have those many contingencies, much less a slightly paranormal mortal. |
| 573 | * Rize Tedeza may not see Ocelot on the same pedestal as Big Boss, but she respects and looks up to him. The man may be intimidating to everybody for his methodology though she would [[BrokenPedestal probably not sing the same tune]] if she knew his relationship with her father. Many years ago, Rize's father served as [[TheInformant an informant]] for Liquid Ocelot as his Outer Heaven grew. Not to say that her father was a member, just an extension of Ocelot's surveillance. When Ocelot found out about his daughter's association with Solid Snake, [[ConnectedAllAlong Ocelot targeted Outer Heaven advertisements in her area so that she would search Outer Heaven out]]. He does not bring Rize to Outer Heaven's hands to intimidate her father, but to one day have Rize take up her father's role. [[NoSenseOfPersonalSpace He whispered to her father's ear not to worry]], as it was not like he would throw his daughter to the Diamond Dogs' dens. |
| 574 | * Many people want Ocelot dead for his crimes against the world. James Bond tried digging through his information network to find a weakness, though almost drowned in its deepness. San Fisher tried to track Ocelot's activities though Ocelot somehow alludes him. One notable person who tried going after Ocelot directly was Agent 47 who discovered Ocelot's name on a [[SpecialGuest guest registry for an award show]]. Ocelot anticipated and [[DecoyGetaway prepared a decay in the form of Stan Lee]]]. Stan Lee dressed as him, going on stage to do what Ocelot was meant to do for the award show. 47 was confused by these events, but Ocelot managed to lure 47 to a quiet area and used [[KnockoutGas a cigarette spray]] to knock him out. By the time 47 woke up, the show finished without a hitch hours ago and Ocelot escaped to live another day. As a final surprise, 47's belongings were left with a TimeBomb as a parting gift. |
| 575 | * Homura Akemi's dedication to Madoka Kaname has piqued Ocelot's interest, as he believes that he could shape Homura to be a deterrent against Pantheon authoritarianism. He noticed this sliding trend upon seeing the Friend's political popularity rise, despite it being clear that his policies are a farce. [[GullibleLemmings He is disappointed in the Pantheon citizenry for their inaction]], though he is more disappointed with Eiki Shiki and her fellow lawmakers for not taking preemptive actions against threats to democracy. [[ObstructiveBureaucrat They come out of the woodwork to the keep Pantheon status quo balance, using boogeymen like the economy and officialdom against those they perceive to be nuisances to public order]]. Yet she refuses to go after the Friend because the Friend is respected by so many, just because he is in a position of perceived authority. Ocelot refuses to heed such a social hierarchy and resolves to have Homura upheave the Pantheon with her RealityWarper capabilities. He would use Madoka Kaname as the fire that starts a rebellion. He wants a world where the people to not hold back on their characters, something that the Patriots and all authoritative governing bodies do not allow in their rigid structure. Ocelot will not allow people to think [[Literature/NineteenEightyFour two plus two equals five]]. |
| 576 | ** His motivations were informed to Madoka by a package at the doorstep, [[{{Infodump}} containing a file detailing Ocelot's character and his history]]. It could have contained anthrax for all Madoka knew, so she knew someone wanted her to get the file for ''something''. She suspected that either a Major Zero, the Patriots, the Friend, or even Eiki Shiki could have been the senders and kept themselves anonymous to throw off Ocelot. The MagicalGirl had more to say about Ocelot's character than concern about his apparent plots to use her as she finds his public history fascinating after reading through it. [[spoiler:[[TheChessmaster Little does she know Ocelot sent the file to her]]. Better to make a more positive impression on Madoka Kaname than have his character painted negatively by another source.]] |

| 580 | * There are many manipulators whom Ocelot is in contact with who have their own goals in mind. He does not care if Lelouch vi Britannia is bringing world peace, Thrawne building an army to take over the solar system, Ozymandias summoning a giant squid, Xanatos searching for immortality, Toffee draining magic, or even Char Aznable sending meteors to Earth. [[ThisIsSomethingHesGotToDoHimself All that matters is that they do not interfere with his ambitious plans, which they do try their best to do]]. Not because they find Ocelot a staunch ally but because they do not want to provoke his informants who hide within their ranks. His spies may not even know they are spies yet, [[MoreThanMindControl as Ocelot is an expert on manipulating memories]]. One young mastermind who caught Ocelot's eye was Kokichi Oma whose manipulation skills caught the eye of the gunslinger. The boy has shown to be a brilliant ManipulativeBastard, even if Ocelot would want Kokichi to raise the bar higher than even murder. Kokichi has held a jolly expression for being inducted but is terrified at how far Ocelot might go with it. Kokichi can't dick around if he finds himself arrested for disposal of evidence. Ocelot would have had Agent Carolina be his student though he finds that her {{fan girl}}ing over him negates the impersonal role this apprenticeship requires. |

| 585 | * Ocelot was not going to pay mind to Celestia Ludenberg as Ocelot dislikes the French for reminding him of the Russian aristocracy. [[YouAreWhatYouHate Ironically, Ocelot was born in France.]] But past all the makeup, he could tell the infamous Lolita gambler [[{{Fauxreigner}} was not European at all and out of spite of her French emulation]], Ocelot proposed to play Russian roulette with her to see if she could win every gamble. Ocelot showed her his brand of Russian roulette when he took out three guns and [[JugglingLoadedGuns began juggling them]] in front of her. As the ultimate showcase of his gunspinning skills, every few seconds as he juggles Ocelot would aim a pistol at her and pull the trigger. If there was a bullet fired at her, then she would lose not only the game but her life. Ocelot juggled and repeatedly fired at Celestia for a full three minutes, with Celestia losing more color the longer it went on. [[BornWinner Once those three minutes were up, Ocelot was left impressed by her luck]]. Though she had no control over this game he dared her, she never moved from where she stood despite her sweating fear-induced buckets. He left her alone, giving one of his revolvers as a keepsake. When Celestia looked into the cylinder, it had five bullets inside. Her face paled further, as the implication was fifteen out of eighteen times, [[SkewedPriorities she could have lost her bet]]. |
| 586 | * A certain Sea Otter Pokémon washed up at Mother Base and Ocelot decided to raise it for a bit. Since he raised a dog, raising a new creature would be a good change of pace for him. Upon learning that Oshawott is dexterous though, [[LikeASonToMe Ocelot wanted to essentially raise a copy of himself]]. He tried to teach Oshawott how the meow ([[VerbalTic which Ocelot is still proud of doing]]) and tried to have the Pokémon learn to gunspin. Needless to say, Ocelot's dream of making Revolver Oshawott did not come true and he simply released Oshawott back to where it belongs. He is happy that he got Oshawott to learn one thing from him. |
| 587 | -->'''Oshawott:''' Oshawatt? [[RuleOfThree (Oshawatt...)]] |
| 588 | -->'''Ocelot:''' Close enough. I hereby dub you Revolver... |
| 589 | -->''He proceeds to spin his gun for half a minute straight.'' |
| 590 | -->'''Ocelot:''' … Oshawott. |
| 591 | * Considering that his interest in genomes was the lure that led him to join Cipher, Ocelot has still maintained an interest in cloning projects. Not that he wishes to make another Les Effant Terribles since Big Boss would want anything but that. He wants to stop the potential exploitation of Big Boss's DNA as the United States did with the genome soldiers. A particular entity that caught Ocelot's attention was Lord Fuse whose army is commanded by clones. Outer Heaven was hit by Fuse's infamous invasion and Big Boss had his combat knife taken to have his DNA stolen. Ocelot also had stolen his DNA through six bullets that Ocelot reloaded by hand, as his gloves were in the washer at the time. [[WhyDontYouJustShootHim Fusion monsters stared as Ocelot took time to insert long silver bullets into the greasy chamber]]. He wants to make sure that the Fusions do not somehow find a way to integrate Big Boss’s soldier genes into them, as Ocelot barely handled three Big Bosses as it is. |
| 592 | * Lain would always say she is eternally grateful for Ocelot for eliminating the Patriots’ chokehold on TheInternet that they implemented after the Big Shell Incident… but she hates his guts. She has to just go online to [[{{Troll}} see the chaos Ocelot brings around]] to be more frustrated with her. He is simply too much to handle especially in a place of little social consequence. When Ocelot pestered her with a video, she channeled all discourse from social media to a [[ObligatorySwearing foul-mouthed response]] that surprised even herself. |
| 593 | -->'''Ocelot:''' You don’t have to say no to fishing videos like that. I was also going to say that I found your address too, so I'm just going to dump it online now. Good night, [[ThisIsForEmphasisBitch my b-word]]. |
| 594 | -->'''Lain:''' H-huh? |
| 595 | * As a result of his hijacking the Sons of the Patriots system, led to the crumbling of the war economy that caused a lengthy recession afterward. The Pantheon bore the brunt of the collapse, which led to many despising Ocelot being the primary instigator of its downfall. Ocelot says that if it weren't for the Patriots {{gaslighting}} everybody, then all people will agree that having the global market orbit around warfare is a bad idea. Firearms that are not tied to SOP have been rising in production units to the same levels as before that system's implementation, though some guns are now rarer than others.[[AdamSmithHatesYourGuts One of which is the revolver as Ocelot, law enforcement, and sporters keep stores out of stock]]. Barry Burton has been more than frustrated over this as he could not find a single revolver for himself after his last one jammed, hurrying to a store that held a revolver. Ocelot was also there, leading him and Burton to blows. Burton was about to go in the store to get it first as the honorable "me first" rules dictate but as Ocelot aimed a bullet at Burton... |

| 600 | * Ocelot has heard from the grapevine about the truth about Itachi Uchiha and decided to confront Itachi on a whim about his apparent sins. Itachi placed Ocelot under the Tsukoyomi there and then, but to Itachi's surprise, Ocelot broke out of his illusion when [[EvilHand Ocelot's nanomachine-programmed arm automatically decked his face]] to break out of the trance. Ocelot informed Itachi of his death, [[{{Blackmail}} and all the information he has accumulated will automatically be leaked onto the internet for everybody to see, including secrets that Itachi’s village would not want out]]. Ocelot is not blackmailing Itachi for anything, only wanting a relationship where Ocelot asks for a favor for Itachi, which can also work in reverse. To prove himself to the Uchiha, Ocelot gave a freebie by telling Itachi of a terrorist plot against his village. To Itachi's surprise, [[TheExtremistWasRight Ocelot was correct about the terrorist plot]] even though how Ocelot learned of such information was suspect to him. Itachi relies on Ocelot to give him reliable intelligence, even finding himself doing "favors" for Ocelot per their agreement. Secretly, Itachi is uncovering Ocelot's intelligence network, justifiably believing that it is a threat to international security. |
| 601 | * Kane may respect Ocelot greatly for being a similar brilliant man from the Soviet Union, although has questioned why Ocelot is so fixated on Big Boss when Ocelot, especially when possessing an army that surpassed all worldwide militaries. Ocelot could have easily overtaken the entire the military-industrial complex, [[SuperiorSuccessor so nothing is stopping him from surpassing Big Boss's ambitions]]. Ocelot simply laughed at Kane for not understanding what makes Big Boss so special. Big Boss is not a person, but a LivingLegend on his own. [[RuleOfSymbolism If Big Boss is an angel cast down from heaven, then Ocelot is Adam who was tempted by the Snake]]. As long as there is a fire in John Doe’s eyes, then Ocelot has no doubts about following this man. Kane understands why Ocelot is so dedicated to Big Boss now, as he demanded that same faith from his followers. |

| 645 | * She has never met Diaochan mostly because her father is surprisingly cautious about letting the two meet. |
| 646 | ** Some people theorize that they're not actually related; history via confirming someone else to be Lu Bu's wife can back this up. |
| 647 | * Lu Bu cares very deeply for her. Even if you have managed to have him restrained, should you try to kill her, he will break out and kick your ass. Cao Cao learned that the hard way. |
| 648 | * She planned on challenging Asura, in an attempt to regain her father's honor and somehow though he casually ignores her challenges mostly because she sound a bit like his own daughter. Not to mention he'd like to not be so hypocritical. |
| 649 | ** She managed to befriend Mithra after said encounter. |
| 650 | * A big mystery is how the hell she managed to wield that weapon of hers so effectively with one hand. Then there's the question on how she managed to control it like a remote boomerang despite having no PsychicPowers. |
| 651 | * Was surprised when first entering this house when she thought she heard her father but instead met Algol, this maybe due to the fact that he [[Creator/JamiesonPrice sounds like her father]], though it was a strange encounter Algol has decided to have her under his protection due to his respect for The Mighty Lu Bu. |
| 652 | ** Often is worried about the relationships and rivalries between her father, [[Pantheon/{{Language}} Leo Whitefang]] and Ira Gamagoori. It doesn't help in that she hears her [[Creator/TetsuInada father's Japanese voice]] from three sides at once. Huang Gai, another person who also has that very voice, has stated that he himself would rather leave Lingqi alone during those moments. |
| 653 | * Like her father, her surname is actually pronounced "Leer/Lur" in pinyin due to the double-dot tone (AKA the umlaut) above the "u". Thus, her name is pronounced as "Ler Lee-ng-chee". |
| 654 | * Has gotten some looks from other people due to her attractiveness; other female gods will have to prepare for the day to teach her how to act like a more proper lady. |
| 655 | ** Some people are also noticing that unlike her father, Lingqi seems more civil and less willing to act like a beast on the battlefield. Perhaps it's because of this she may need to learn how to keep Lu Bu in check occasionally. Xingcai can relate. |

| 671 | * Somewhere in rural Sweden, a mysterious little being known as Yarny belonged to a lonely old woman. Yarny set out on a dangerous journey, traveling through significant places in her memories so that her photo album could be filled with mementos both happy and sad. Yarny braved through various places, from natural landscapes like forests and beaches to hazardous and polluted industrial complexes; in every place there was a variety of things that could have killed Yarny in one shot, but it kept going out of love for its owner until the album was filled. |
| 672 | ** There is also a red and blue pair of Yarnys who teamed up, tying their yarns together, after they were thrown into an island by a storm. Settling at a lighthouse and following the lead of a speck of light, they traveled through the places where, once, two orphan boys suffered under abusive adults and ran away. The Yarny pair protected these memories from malicious shadows (possibly leftovers from the adults' presence) that attempted to destroy them. |
| 673 | * With their purpose at the lighthouse fulfilled, the speck of light urged the Yarny duo to follow it. The two walked an unusually long distance until arriving at the old woman's house, where they met the first Yarny. All were overjoyed to meet more creatures like themselves, especially the first Yarny who had never met any others before. Then they all proceeded to follow the speck of light, eventually arriving at the Pantheon. Finding the Main House proved to be rather eventful. |
| 674 | ** Firstly, the Yarnys landed in a desert, a very different place than what they are used to find their way through, notably lacking in things for them to hook their knots. Fortunately, the Robed Figure was nearby and took notice of the Yarnys, which the Figure felt an affinity for given they are technically made of cloth, like the creatures he once liberated. The Figure had the Yarnys ride its scarf and followed the speck of light. They were making good time until a sandstorm hit and the Figure kept getting pushed back, with the Yarnys hanging on to dear life. Then a good friend of the Robed Figure, the Colossus Phalanx, appeared to shelter them from the storm with its large girth. The Yarnys aren't used to being intentionally helped by other creatures, so it came as quite the surprise to them that the enormous monster was so affable. |
| 675 | ** Once the storm passed, the troupe carried on until they reached a high mountain with a peak surrounded by auroras, and the Yarnys were required to go up there. Phalanx took care of it, leaving once the job was done, and the Yarnys were confronted with two foxes made of auroral light. This turned out to be trouble for the Yarnys as the foxes started batting the first one around for fun, requiring the Yarny duo to distract the foxes and save their friend. Once that was done, the Yarnys then had to find their way down the mountain with the foxes on their trail (although they didn't seem terribly serious about hunting the yarn creatures). Eventually the Yarnys tumbled down into some river rapids, managing to hook a knot onto a piece of wood before they went under. At least they lost the annoying foxes. |
| 676 | ** The river flowed out to sea, as it does, which was bad news for the Yarnys as they aren't so great with water; the Yarny duo can swim okay, but it's not ideal, while the first Yarny sinks like a rock after a few seconds. Unluckily, their piece of wood got attacked by Bruce the Shark, which sent them flying straight into the water. When it seemed that was it for the Yarnys, however, the Diver showed up and held them above water, depositing them on the nearby beach, while her Great White friend kept Bruce at bay. After waving goodbye at the Diver, the Yarnys kept going in the direction the speck of light pointed them towards. |
| 677 | ** Finally, somehow, they arrived at the Main House where the Yarnys were confronted with several giant beings (giant from their perspective, mind) of all sorts. They were more frightning for their number than size, given the Yarnys by this point had seen Phalanx. Despite their fear, they held strong as they saw the Robed Figure and the Diver among the audience (not so much the foxes, but they wagged their tails at the Yarnys), and they were pronounced gods of the Pantheon for their deeds. Then they were sent on their merry way, with the speck guiding them to their temple. The Yarnys were just surprised that getting out of the Main House was so easy compared to everything else. Either way they're happy to remain in the Pantheon, as they were given a great deal of help in reaching this point and they think they were brought up for an important reason (but they check in on their homes once in a while to make sure all is well). |
| 678 | * The first Yarny's preferred dwellings are idyllic rural forests, similar to where its owner lived. Yarny's owner liked to spend time with her family going camping, but things took a turn for the worse when the forests were cut down and factories took their place, letting loose all sorts of toxic waste to ruin the earth further. The Yarny duo also had to contend with a forest fire started by a factory's electrical fence. With factories and industrial complexes being the source of their owners' woes and particularly hostile terrains for the Yarnys themselves, the little creatures have a lot of reasons to be averse to them, and towards pollution in general. For those reasons, the Yarnys sometimes take it upon themselves to sabotage Mr. Burns' company so it'll stop producing so much toxic waste. Given their tiny size, they are not easy to detect and can slip inside certain machines, making them the source of many "mysterious" breakdowns in Mr. Burns operations. Mr. Burns suspects them, but can't prove it, which doesn't stop him from declaring he'll capture the Yarnys and turn them into a sweater. |
| 679 | ** Things became more difficult for the Yarnys once Mr. Burns enlisted Dr. Fetus to secure his facilities against the critters. Fetus' method was to place buzzsaws at certain junctures to shred the Yarnys to microscopic bits should they come too close. Of course, the Yarnys are used to puzzling out a safe path for themselves, so through a bit of ingenuity, it's nothing they can't deal with and they will continue to be a thorn on the sides of both the MadScientist fetus and the elderly tycoon, much to their frustration. |
| 680 | * The Yarnys' active concern with the environment also turns them into natural enemies for Hexxus, the spirit of pollution itself. Sadly, unlike Mr. Burns, there is little they can do to fight an apparition like Hexxus. Once, Hexxus caught them just outside one of Mr. Burns' factories the Yarnys had just sabotaged and after a chase, Hexxus had managed to trap them. Then to the Yarnys' considerable surprise, the auroral foxes that had stalked them appeared and unleashed their Spirit Bark at Hexxus, sending him scurrying. As the foxes escorted them home, the Yarnys thus came to understand that they all shared at least one goal. (But they're still annoyed that the foxes treat them as toys at the best of times.) |
| 681 | * Donquixote Doflamingo looks down on the Yarnys' as weak creatures whose very existence is pointless when compared to a MasterOfThreads such as himself. They are so small that Doflamingo doesn't think he could do anything useful with them, and their limited control over their strings, bound by the laws of physics, is laughable to him. Sadistic asshole that he is, he figured he would stomp the creatures whose pathetic purpose was to protect the memories of a feeble old woman and two kids nobody wanted. However, another string master, Jolyne Kujoh, is fond of the little guys (albeit aloof) and thinks stomping on them is just pointless dickery, so she tripped over and tied up Doflamingo with her own strings just before he could hurt them, and dragged him away for a battle that the Yarnys didn't care to watch. Rebellio of the Falcons, yet another string-manipulator, has taken a liking towards the Yarnys and is more open than Jolyne about it, admiring how they are able to solve problems without resorting to violence. |
| 682 | * The Yarnys chanced upon Kirby while the pink puffball was on one of his strolls. Kirby thought the Yarnys were lost denizens of [[VideoGame/KirbysEpicYarn Patch Land]] and decided to lead them there. While it may not be their home, the Yarnys ''were'' pretty delighted with Patch Land, seeing as how everything and everyone is made of yarn; the Yarnys could not be more in their element. Patch Land has become something of a "comfort destination" for them when they need to take a break from navigating their MouseWorld. |
| 683 | * They learned of Carl Fredricksen's story of becoming a lonesome and embittered man after the loss of his wife. However, the Yarnys were glad to learn, upon visiting his house, that he had managed to come to terms with it, found some friends to liven up his twilight years and overall become a better person. Carl considers them to be "meddlesome little goblins", though it seems like an affectionate insult, as he does keep good care of the little yarn token shaped like a balloon they gave him to commemorate his achievements. |
