• Opposes: God Himself, and to an extent Eru Illuvatar
• Opposed by: Most Christian deities, notably Father Kerras and Father Merrin, Alexander Anderson, Death the Horseman
• Pities: Satan (South Park)
• Starting as Lucifer, Satan was like many versions of the Devil formerly the most beautiful angel of God. Unwilling to be subjugated to a higher power, even the Almighty, he started a War in Heaven to rebel against this creator. Too proud to apologize, he seeks to get back at God by corrupting humanity, starting with Adam and Eve. By his own words, he considers it better to "reign in Hell rather than serve in Heaven."
• Isn't the same Satan as the one in The Bible, however is so well known and iconic most think his story is from the scriptures. While many have the Devil as an inhuman being of pure evil, he's a Byronic Hero with the self-justifications and charisma that any great human character is capable of. He espouses ideas of democracy and devotion, however while he has a point he is still the villain of his story and an enemy of man.
• He has a good relationship with Samael, as they are both byronic heroes defined by pride and the desire to be free from their creators. They're also very well-cultured. Their methods are different however, and occasionally get into pissing matches at their more pathetic qualities. He seems to be sympathetic towards the Satan of South Park due to his loser status, and tries to help him out in improving his game.
• Seeks to corrupt mankind as payback against God. Because of this, he is working with the Persona Nyarlathotep due to being the living embodiment of humanity's evil. He claims he's his daughter Sin in another form, while Nyarly mocks the idea of the devil due to claiming mankind is inherently evil from the start. Philemon is a point of contention in his eyes, and he considers the Indigo Light to be a threat to his plans.
• Was amused to learn of YHVH, claiming He is proof of the argument God is a dictator. Privately he admits the Mad God or Order is not the same version of God he's familiar with, but don't expect him to say otherwise due to his own issues. He respects the Lucifer of the SMT Multiverse, though seems closer to Melkor as they're both incredibly spiteful beings who wish to get back at their "daddy" through ruination. Of course their methods are different and Melkor would rather burn everything and everyone down, but to each their own.
• While the SMT Lucifer was a straight ally, what he did to his daughter Sin pushed him out of his favor. Argued that even if what he did was despicable he's arguably done worse, though Lucifer wasn't hearing it. Still, they share a common enemy and many ideals so they're begrudgingly working with each other. Even this tenuous alliance is one of great concern, as the Fallen Angel bears the name 'Satan', allowing him to combine his powers with Lucifer and unleash the Armageddon spell.
• Claims to be the father of Death, however any god of death worth their salt claims this is bull. Death the Horseman is particularly annoyed as he sees him as just like the Lucifer of his universe minus the "Well Done, Son" Guy issues, or in his words "a spoiled brat throwing a temper tantrum". Sam and Dean Winchester agree on that. The Death from Final Destination is more lenient and its cruelty allows it to work with him, though it's a tenuous alliance.
• Started his position arguing of God's hypocrisy and that the angels had their own right to be their own gods, but would end up ruling as a king in Hell. He seems to have some fondness for Napoleon due to being a once noble rebel becoming everything he set out to undo, and has a drink with Arthas once in a while about their fall from grace. Many tend to ignore the hypocrisy part and he has a large following in more neutral and even a few heroic gods. He also has drinks with Draco Malfoy about how they've been white-washed.
• To say Archangel Michael was enraged upon learning he had ascended was like saying the Pacific Ocean is wet. He is currently trying to get the other angels to fight him off, along with Imperius and Manwe(who recognizes him as much like his brother Melkor). Was shocked upon learning of the Satan from the SMT multiverse, as unlike so many other versions he is loyal to his creator(somewhat). However other versions of Satan were more fond of him, such as the Castlevania Satan. Lumine is fond of him given the overt symbolism he shares with Paradise Lost.
• Fond of Syndrome due to their issues with pride and desire to stand out and overcome God and Mr Incredible respectively. Often spend time with Lord Byron.

Intermediate Gods

Demise

Demise, God of Dying Curses (The Demon King, The Imprisoned)

His true form

The Imprisoned, his sealed form

• Intermediate God, Greater God if his full power returned
• Symbol: His demonic blade and his Imprisoned form
• Theme Songs: Battlefield of Demise - Demise - Final Demise
  • As the Imprisoned: Phase 1, Phase 2, Final Phase
• Alignment: Chaotic Evil
• Portfolio: Cursed his enemies in an eternal cycle, starting the endless strife in Hyrule, Reincarnated through the manifestation of his hatred, The Demon King, Slaughter the people of the Surface, Sealed in the Sealed Ground as the Imprisoned
• Domains: Curse, Reincarnation, Hatred, Demons
• Allies: Ghirahim, Diablo, Baal, Fortinbras, Father Elijah
• Worthy Opponent: Any "Strong" Humans, noteworthy includes Guts, Akuma
• Enemies: Zelda and Link, Fi, Impa, Dante Sparda, Flynn, All "Weak" Humans
• Special Relationship: Ganondorf
• Demise led a demonic horde and slaughter the humans in the Surface on a conquest for the Triforce, but was sealed away by Hylia and her allies. He eventually was resurrected by Ghiraham but was defeated by Link in battle, in which he cursed "the Blood of the Goddess" and "the Spirit of the Hero" that his hatred will never rest and the three will forever be trapped in a cycle that will shape the fate of the world.
• As one can guess, his main reincarnation is Ganondorf, the male Gerudo who wants to conquer the kingdom of Hyrule and the bearer of the Triforce of Power. It became a bit of a paradox with Demise and Ganondorf in one place as Ganondorf is his mortal reincarnation of himself. Though despite the two being the one and the same, they don't see eye-to-eye due to wanting the power of the Triforce for themselves, and since Ganondorf possesses the Triforce of Power, it would be inevitable for the two to fight for the piece of the Triforce.
• Though he has reawakened in the Pantheon, he found that he can only assume his Imprisoned form as he appears to be much weaker in this realm. Of course, Ghirahim was pleased to see his master marking his demonic feet in the temple grounds so he has arranged many plans to restore Demise to his full strength to permanently remain in his true form so that he may lay claim on the Triforce.
• He views humanity as pathetic insects waiting to be slaughter when they stand between him and the Triforce, prior to his fight against Link. In fact, it is only a big problem if Demise actually notices you rather than cutting you aside.
  • He traded blow with Guts once, when Demise wanted to test the mortal man who kills demons on a daily basis if he is truly strong to face the king of demons. He came to view Guts as a warrior equal to the Hero that defeated him.
  • He was intrigued with a man known as Akuma, who strongly resembles him, especially in his Oni form. He wishes to test the man who is capable of destroying one's soul with a single move. Rumors have been going around since that Akuma may be another of Demise's reincarnation due to his destructive power and similar appearance but it is likely just a coincidence.
• As he leads a horde of demons in his onslaught for the Triforce, he showed respect to the demon lords within the Pantheon. He, especially, certainly respects Diablo and his brothers from the Burning Hell. Sure, they lost to humans before, but that doesn't stop them from coming back in one way or another, much like himself.
• The Old Gods considered making a deal with him due to their similar agenda of damning their enemies upon death. If he agrees with destroying all life, then Demise may claim the Triforce without any opposition in his way. Of course, Demise won't make a deal if he is only a pawn in the plan.
• Though he never saw any of his demons possessed or claimed by another, he would view them as weak if they allow the pathetic humans to control them. There is also the fact that he is not one to be given demands by others, in which he should be the one giving demands. So he doesn't like Gul'dan, who has summoned and controlled demons in his hand.
  • So the fact that there are three people: Aleph, the Demi-fiend, and Flynn, who are demon slayers and can control demons is quite a sport for the Demon King.
• Angels and demons are known enemies, in which Demise know no demons in his world. As the Demon King, he is opposed by many angels that view him no different than other demon lords. Despite this, he doesn't care. As long as they bar his path for the Triforce, he'll just slay any angel that impedes his path.
• Can also be found in Last Moments.

Dokuro Mitsukai

Dokuro Mitsukai, Goddess of Revenge Against Perverts (The Bludgeoning Angel, Assassin from the future)

• Intermediate Goddess
• Symbol: Excalibolg dripping blood or a bloody halo
• Theme Song: Pipiru piru piru pipiru pi!
• Alignment: She sees herself as Lawful Good, but other deities see her as either Chaotic... something. Good, neutral or evil get tossed around depending on who you ask.
• Portfolio: Cute Bruiser, Cloud Cuckoolander, Genki Girl, Heroic Comedic Sociopath, Holy Halo, Loving Bully, Pervert Revenge Mode, Manic Pixie Dream Girl, Our Angels Are Different, Girl with Psycho Weapon
• Domains: Bats, Angels, Assassins, Love
• Allies: Panty, Stocking, Belldandy, any angelic deities period, Peacock, the Dengeki Bunko: Fighting Climax fighters, Junpei Iori, Esmeralda
• Rival: Badgirl.
• Enemies: Scanty and Kneesocks, Doraemon, The Kankers
• Feared By: Brook, Sanji, Claude Frollo, Spy, Perverts in general.
• Fears: Luffy
• Crushes on: Scout
• The day Dokuro ascended to the Pantheon, a good chunk of the House of Combat as well as the Love and Affection (ESPECIALLY it's tainted love section,) were OOZING with blood. The House of Life and Death were quickly filling up with bodies, to the point some feared it would overflow. The Main House was forced to intervene by making Timmy wish for the blood to vanish as well as bring whoever caused all this to them. Upon that, Dokuro literally dropped in, almost ramming her bat in through Timmy. After explaining that she was cleansing those that were perverted and lustful, the Main House decided to give her the title of Revenge Against Perverts to pacify her.
  • Once the overseers at the Main House went through her background more, they also learned about Sakura and how she constantly beheads her with her bat, claiming it will stop his pedophilia urges. While some of the less intelligent gods bought it, the smarter ones proposed that the possible reason Sakura is like that is because of Dokuro herself. A few other grimmer thinking deities think that Dokuro started the lie HERSELF and more or less turned the school against Sakura just so she can have him to herself. Regardless of the reason, they also gave her the title of Loving Bully, in hopes of having her spend less time killing and reviving Sakura.
    • All this said however, no one is really stopping her from killing any rapists or perverts. People trying to hit on others in sleazy ways are also a target, but more or less further down the line of concerns.
• Confuses Claude Frollo to no end, seeing her as a angel who wouldn't hesitate to kill him, seeing as he views himself as Lawful Good. After being on the wrong end of her bat, he decided to just stay away from her till he can come up with a plan.
  • Because of this, she has quickly earned the respect of Esmeralda, and helps her keep Frollo in his place.
• Peacock has become fast friends with her, even picking up her famous "Pipiru piru piru pipiru pi" chant in battle. The two can also be seen bonding over fighting against any pro-active slavery, mafia and sleazy perverts. That said, sometimes Peacock has to take control of her before they go too far into harming innocents.
• Has made a friend in the angel sisters, Panty and Stocking, given how they all act. Dokuro has even taking up fighting against Scanty and Kneesocks from time to time.
  • Also gets along with Belldandy, seeing how she is the Goddess of Magical Girlfriend. While a bit unnerved by her, Belldandy still appreciates her company.
• Nobody dares to try and remove her halo, seeing how the results of it just not only makes her more likely to kill you, but also distorts her face as well as, well...Let's just say it is a mess to clean up after.
• One day, Brook and Sanji made the mistake of believing she was older than she looked, and while Sanji hit on her, Brook asked for her panties. Needless to say, she threatened to smash their skulls to pieces. However, luckily for them, Luffy overheard and quickly intervened. Dokuro tried to whack Luffy with her bat, only to be downright horrified that his entire body was made of rubber, something that NO strong enough iron mace can bash through. Luffy retaliated by hitting her with a "Gum-Gum Rifle", sending her sailing across the Pantheon, head first into the Main House, smashing her head into pieces. Luffy had no idea while a good number of other deities came out cheering him once they saw what happened, but he made it no secret to Dokuro once she awoken in the House of Life and Death that whenever or not they deserve it, NO ONE hurts his nakama!
• To the surprise of everyone, Dokuro managed to develop a crush on Scout of all people. Some specialized that she is still too young to choose the right man, others say Scout actually DOES deserve love even if the ways he goes after it are questionable, they're still genuine. A few others noted that Scout was surprising not half bad with children, as well as actually caring about women he genuinely loves, doubly so for his mother. Whatever the reason, while Scout is still pursuing Miss Paulings, he would happy take her as a honorary daughter. She accepted that, celebrating by playing ball with him using Spy's decapitated head.
  • As a result of this, she is one of the few people Spy refuses to backstab, mainly out of fear of his own safety, seeing how much damage she can actually do.
  • Along with gaining Scout's appreciation, she also got the respect of Junpei Iori, even going out with them during their nights out. Although, after 2 or 3 incidents after the three of three of them got into a batting match over where the line was for Scout and Junpei hitting on girls, they decided to exclude her on any trips out to hit on girls, which considering who Dokuro is, that would of been a smart move to make at the start.
    • Despite this, she still is always up for a sparring match against the two, who are actually very challenging for her, surprisingly enough.
• Doraemon detests her, seeing her as someone who not only is a Expy of himself, but also abuses her powers to her Sakura, who she is supposed to be protecting.
• Remembers her time assisting others in fight in Dengeki Bunko: Fighting Climax rather fondly, as well as those she fought along side with.
• Once fought against The Kankers for Sakura. The resulting melee for him is ranked highly amongst one of the bloodiest and most disgusting battles the Pantheon has seen, and no one wishes to explain why.
• Also holds a seat in the House of Love.

Lesser Gods

Viktor Reznov

Viktor Reznov, God of Vengeance through Others (The Wolf, Hero of Berlin, Tricky Vik, The Russian, Victor)

Reznov in World at War

Reznov in Black Ops

• Lesser God
• Theme: Call of Duty: World at War Original Sountrack: Reznov's theme
• Alignement: Chaotic Neutral
• Portfolio: Badass Russian that suffers a lot, friendly communist, killing germans civilians in vengeance for Stalingrad, then using Alex to kill Dragovitch by brainwashing him, Being dead for the entierty of Black Ops 1
• Domains: War, Revenge
• Allies: Dimitri Petrenko (best friend), Alex Mason, Takeo Masaki, Nicolai Belinski, Tank Dempsey, Tashkent, Heavy Weapon Guy, Zangief, Zarya, Alexei Stukov.
• Teeth Clenched Team Work with: Edward Richtofen, The Medic
• Enemies: Nikita Dragovitch, Vladimir Makarov, Imran Zakhaev, Red Skull, HYDRA, Adenoid Hynkel, The Waffen Infantry, Nazi Storm Elite
• Headbutting Heroes: Prinz Eugen, Bismarck
• Opposes: The House of Betrayal and Treachery
• Viktor Reznov was a sergeant of the Red Army that valiantly fought in WW2 against the Germans, mostly seeking revenge against the destruction they caused in his homeland. His brutality in the attacks on Berlin, where he said to kill a hundred for every victim of Stalingrad was a result of that, but what cemented his ascension was learning that he had managed to get revenge beyond death by brainwashing Alex Mason to kill the men responsible for Dmitri's fate.
• Alex Mason was happy to see his old friend again, but he was hesitant at first, thinking he was hallucinating him again. Turns out this Reznov was the real deal and they finally can have a friendly conversation ever since Mason escaped Vorkuta.
• He can sometimes be found reminiscing with Takeo Masaki, as while their countries were enemies during WW2, they were both betrayed by their leader they followed with blind loyalty. He is otherwise happy than Nikolaï got to be a hero of Russia, although he is kinda confused about his looks, being very similar to Chernov in his appearance.
• Is at odds with the House of Friendship and Camaraderie, as while they appreciate the efforts he put into venging his friend, his methods to do so isn't to their tastes.
• Was pissed when he learned Dragovich had ascended, and even more so when he discovered nobody can die for good inside the Pantheon, and worse, he got to meet other Russians that sided with him like Vladimir Makarov and Imran Zakhaev. He considers them traitorous scum that should be punished for their crimes.
• Given his experience in Stalingrad and how the Germans murdered his father, Reznov hates Nazis with a passion. Of course he didn't waste time making enemies with big organizations like Hydra or Millenium, but they are wary of him since he is capable of taking great measures to get back at people.
  • This even extends to the heroic German soldiers like Prinz Eugen and Bismarck. Reznov is not willing to forgive them and only stays amicable with them because they haven't provoked him yet.
  • On the other hand, he can barely stand Edward Richtofen but does so because he respects his partner Nikolai. But if it was up to him he would kill the doctor himself.
• Used to be a marksman before losing his right finger in Stalingrad. Dimitri then took over the marksman role from them, but he isn't half bad with a rifle, just not a good as before.
• Was happy to meet other Russians in the pantheon. He did make a few friendships here and there.
  • Was surprised to learn that in the distant future, the eastern part of Russia would get invaded by robots. Hearing this story from Zarya reminded him of the time he fought the Germans, and since Zarya also has a disdain towards the one that ravaged her home, he can understand her stance. However, Zarya isn't particularly comfortable about Reznov's brutal methods.
  • He bonded with Alexei Stukov given their shared role and how both were betrayed by their higher ups. Reznov is horrified about Stukov's fate and how even in the pantheon he can't escape his infection, but since he managed to exact revenge on the person that made him like that in the first place, he earned Reznov's respect.
• Considered the one person that the House of Betrayal and Treachery would avoid in his entirety. Reznov views traitors in the same way as the Nazis and would often hunt down members of said house because of their positions. However, they are second to exacting revenge against Dragovich, so the house isn't a huge priority for him at the moment.
• Apparently saved Mason, Woods and Hudson from dying in the Afghan desert. However, Woods believes that Mason was just hallucinating him (Since he encountered Kravchenko beforehand, having not actually died with his encounter with Woods in Vietnam).

Demigods

Rosarita "Roberta" Cisneros, Goddess of Extreme Revenge (The Bloodhound of Florencia, Evil Mary Poppins, Death Poppins, That Fucking Glasses Bitch, Fucking Four Eyes [the latter two by Revy])

• Roberta is the housemaid for the Lovelace family in Venezuela. Fiercely loyal to the Lovelaces underneath her shy and demure exterior and less than stellar domestic skills, she became an especially close friend to the young master Garcia. Naturally, she is in the Pantheon for reasons connected to her job. What those reasons are, however, is anything but typical.
  • Rosarita Cisneros was a notoriously skilled and vicious guerrilla for the communist terror group FARC in her home country of Columbia, trained as an assassin in Cuba. She gained such a reputation for her killing rampages that she became an internationally wanted criminal, nicknamed the Bloodhound of Florencia due to how absolutely relentless she was in taking out her targets. Even Balalaika feared her enough as a "hardcore terrorist" that she saw fit to deploy every single Hotel Moscow commando available to subdue her. At some point, however, Rosarita discovered that the organization she killed men, women, and children for was little more than a front for drug cartels, she became disillusioned with FARC's "revolution" and instead turned to the Lovelace family, clearing a debt of honor between her father and Diego Lovelace, the head of the family. She adopted the Roberta name and even put on a pair of glasses as part of her maid uniform in order to protect her identity and mask her terrifying Death Glare from untrained eyes.
  • Per the request of her young master, she promised to stop gunfighting. However, one day she watched helplessly as a bomb went off in the direction of where Diego had been, with the Lovelace patriarch confirmed as one of the casualties. Upon hearing Garcia ask why his father was a victim, she was set off the deep end, hell bent on taking revenge for Diego's murder. This marks the event that truly earned her ascension: she took out the whole army of Golden Triangle warlords and the US special forces with nothing but a musket and flintlocks, and then proceeded to take out all the American soldiers that were responsible for her master's death. Also, she once snapped a friggin kukri with her teeth.
• Had an epic fight with Revy once. Unfortunately, a bunch of boxes blocked the view of any potential witnesses.
• Is trying her best to kick off her addiction of anti-psychotics. Also takes lessons of actual skills a maid might need from fellow maids for the inevitable ascension of her young master.
• Rose is credited with Cammy White's Heel–Face Turn (in the UDON comics, at least) and sees a lot of Cammy in Roberta. As Roberta seeks redemption from her blood-soaked past, she paid a visit to Rose's temple, receiving this intonation.
  Rose: You seek absolution from your past. Your future lies with the Lovelace family, and its young master. Protect him with your life, for your redemption lies with him.
• Stumbled into Rarity and Spike on one occasion and had expressed surprise that the latter sounds just like her young master. The fact that she and Rarity's voices, while quite different from each other, do share the same base completely horrifies the purple-maned unicorn.
• Her skill and high efficiency in combat and stealth are what leads The Shadow Client to seek her out as a potential recruit for his cause. But when he did and gave his offer, she refused. One is because she did not want to associate with people who were once allied with any drug cartel after learning that the revolution she killed for was once a front for them. She would also rather wait for her young master to ascend first than join Grey's cause.
