The House of Colours is indeed a colourful place. It is painted with murals the Gods from the House of Craft have created. The House also sells paint to anybody who wish to make changes to their temples, especially the Master Builders Four who get their paint from here.

Guarding this house is the Trio of Colour, seen below.

  • Herald: Ken
  • Allies: The cast of Toy Story, Rapunzel, Odette, good members of the House of Profession and Costumes, the good-aligned Equestrian deities(Applejack, Fluttershy, Rainbow Dash, Rarity, Twilight Sparkle), Sora, Kairi

  • Pities: Hajime Hinata/Izuru Kamakura
  • Admirer: Waylon Smithers (Platonically), Lisa Simpson
  • Barbara Roberts, aka Barbie, is a teenager/young woman and the oldest of many sisters, and her career as a model. Barbie ascended for being the best representation of the color pink. She is all about piiiink, after all. Her logo is pink. Her Dream Car and Dream House are pink. Packaging for most of the dolls and accessories are pink. One of her first outfits, "Enchanted Evening", has a pink evening gown. Her signature color is "Barbie Pink" and nobody can use it without permission.
  • Her position is somewhat complicated in that she tends to fluctuate between her incarnations as a normal woman and a doll. She also has two lesser forms as a fairy and mermaid.
    • However, not all of her former roles are alternate forms. Barbie has also been an actress for some of them like for the Princess of the Princess and the Pea. But even then, Barbie is fully capable of having adventures on her own.
  • Many have adapted just fine to Barbie's curious situation… Except her friends from Toy Story, who are very confused about it. Funnily, Barbie's Dreamhouse shrinks in size every time they come to visit to accomodate them.
  • Barbie is almost perfect and has had over 135 jobs and counting. Of course, her personality makes it really hard to believe that she was capable of doing all of that. This does take a toll on her at times. And even she has had breakdowns, like when Malibu ran out of glitter. Don't steal her glitter if you know what's good for you.
    • Someone even say that she even had a job as a Saber◊. Barbie had to joss that rumor, only saying that she was cosplaying as Artoria.
    • Barbie is mostly self-aware of this… And doesn't care because she wants to be good role model for the little girls who go to buy her products. Barbie always represented that a woman has choices. "You can be anything", indeed.
  • Of course, she practically had a temple of sorts already with her Dreamhouse and only had to move it to the Pantheon. Many of her friends are still baffled about the fact that her wardrobe is practically the size of a small country.
  • Has a healthy rivalry with the Disney Princesses in the Pantheon, because their doll franchises are competitors. But Barbie being Barbie, she isn't mean-spirited about it, though she did point out that she beat them over who did Rapunzel first and notes how she inspired their Rapunzel.
  • Gets along with the Equestrian Deities just fine. Barbie is always kind towards horses. Twilight was somewhat amused to notice that she sounds like Starlight Glimmer… Though occasionally she sounds like Aria Blaze instead. Barbie wasn't happy at all to know that her voice is similar to that of a villain.
    • To say that Rarity was ecstasic when she visited the Dreamhouse would be the understatement of the century. The unicorn has promised to make Barbie some more dresses too. Sweetie Belle has also made visits (But Rarity has told her that she cannot introduce Barbie to her vampire wrestling friends under no circumstances, much to the unicorn filly's chargin)
  • Became very good friends with Sora and Kairi really fast. It almost seems like she sees the former as an inspiration. This baffled Sora, who didn't expect the so-called perfect doll to see him as inspiring. Of course, the fact she has been a princess many, many, many, 'many times and her pure heart means that she could be considered as a de-facto Princess of Heart, so Sora needs to keep an eye on Barbie to protect her from Xehanort and Vanitas.
    • The keyblade Wielders have been trying to see if they could build a Wand of Light-based keyblade so Barbie can defend herself and for the time being, Barbie assumes her fairy form for quick escapes.
  • Given that being a fashionista is her first job, she didn't take it kindly when she heard about the Ultimate Fashionista Junko Enoshima, whom she considers her Evil Counterpart since the blonde schoolgirl also has other titles under her belt like Ultimate Analyst and Ultimate Despair.
    • Under the same token, she can't help but feel bad about Hajime Hinata, for having such a drastic change in order to take onto a "You can be anything" sort of mentality just he could get any talent.
  • Being the most iconic doll, Barbie has become a stock parody over the years; The Simpsons has Malibu Stacy note , and Rugrats had Angelica's favorite toy, the Cynthia doll. Barbie has taken this in stride and finds the name Malibu Stacy to be hilarious since her Dreamhouse used to be on Malibu before moving to the Pantheon.
    • Smithers, who is the biggest Malibu Stacy fan, was delighted to meet Barbie. He has also started to buy Barbie dolls by the loads ever since her ascension, starting with Malibu Barbie. The other fan of Malibu Stacy, Lisa, has admitted that Barbie is a positive role model for girls.
  • Against all odds, Barbie gets along just fine with Scrooge. But it's not that weird when for the ones who discovered that Barbie is the descendant of Eden Starling, a gender flipped version of him.
  • Has bonded with Dark Magician Girl over the fact that they are both products of a Merchandise-Driven franchise and thus their appearances change as a result, though DMG's circumstances for this are a tad different.

  • Perhaps the most beloved character in the Gundam franchise, Char Aznable has always been the subject of political intrigue, fan intrigue and now Pantheon intrigue. When word spread that the GUAG was building up a mecha fighting force out of the deities they had on hand (which would become the GUAG Robot War Division), Melkor saw fit to create one of his own. But the God of Evil needed a charismatic deity to lead the charge, so he looked no further than the uber-Char Clone, the Red Comet Char Aznable himself!
  • Born Casval Rem Deikun, he was at the centre of a political bloodbath when his father, politician Zeon Zum Deikun died suddenly and his chief of staff, Degwin Zabi took control. As the Zabis began purging potential resistance to their rule, Char and his sister fled to Earth while their mother was permanently confined. They took up residence with Don Teabolo Mass in Spain who raised Casval and Artesia as his own children under the names Édouard and Sayla. Alas, it was not to last. A party sent to kill them permanently crippled Teabolo, necessitating a relocation to Texas Colony in Side 5 (Loum). A vengeful Casval then set himself two priorities: to destroy the Zabi family and to uphold what his father had advocated for in his political philosophy: have humanity leave Earth as it was sacred, and to prove his theory that Spacenoids would eventually evolve into a greater species (the basis of the Newtype theory). To this end, he participated in many major events throughout the course of the Universal Century.
    • After faking his death by getting rid of the real Char Aznable and enlisting in the Zeon military in his place, he would make a name for himself by destroying five Magellan-class battleships in the Battle of Loum, the first full armed engagement in the One Year War (OYW), and earning the nickname 'Red Comet' by redlining his MS-06C Zaku II. He would later be tasked with finding and destroying Project V, a secret Federation mobile suit project. And we all know how that turned out...
    • When the mission failed, Char was tasked with pursuing the unit and its carrier ship, the White Base, having several run-ins with his sister who had joined the Federation and urging her to desert. In the process, Char would also exploit many opportunities to eliminate the Zabis one by one, starting with his friend Garma Zabi. His professional rivalry with the Gundam's pilot Amuro Ray would become very personal after the death of his Love Interest Lalah Sune when she protected Char from a killing blow. In the final battle, his Zeong would critically damage the Gundam and lead into a swordfight, where he received his forehead scar.
    • After Char finished Kycilia, the last surviving Zabi, he retreated to the Axis asteroid base. The Axis Zeon remnants supported him as leader, but he would refuse in favour of Haman Karn, who would become regent for Zeon heiress Mineva Lao Zabi and later full leader of Axis after her father Maharaja's death. After yet another series of unfortunate events and learning of Haman's true intentionsnote , Char departed Axis and joined the Anti Earth Union Group under the alias 'Quattro Bajeena'. Haman would see this as betrayal and engage Char's Hyaku Shiki with her Qubeley at the end of the Gryps conflict, seemingly killing him. Of course, the Red Comet wasn't done just yet.
    • Once more, Char resurfaced in U.C. 0093 as the leader of a new Neo Zeon remnant, planning to drop the Axis asteroid base onto Earth and force its populace to migrate to space and evolve into Newtypes. With his new Sazabi, he faced off against Amuro one final time before both disappeared. In truth, both had died experiencing a Psycho-Frame overload. While Amuro accepted death, Char did not and his spirit split in half, with the remaining fragment being used by Zeon Foreign Minister Monaghan Bakharov to create the Cyber-Newtype Full Frontal. This spiritual copy appeared three years later as leader of Neo Zeon remnant force "The Sleeves", having lost faith in humanity's future as Newtypes. Frontal ultimately failed to seize Laplace's Box and was finally convinced by the ghosts of his past to pass on. But of course, fate would not be done with Char Aznable. And this time, it probably never will be.
  • He was ascended under a different trope in a different house, but has since been moved to the House of Colours with previous records wiped from the books. He's a bit embarrassed to be living next to a doll/human and a pony, but having endured a lot of trauma throughout his life, admits the bonkers atmosphere is a nice change. Regardless of their respective alignments, he is quite polite to them. He rarely spends time in his own temple anyway given his position as the leader of the GUAE Mecha Cohort.
  • His heralds are a bit of a mixed bag, since his sister is Sayla Mass, also one of Amuro's heralds. Sayla still loves her brother but can't accept that he's returned to his vengeful ways, so she's chosen to stay with Amuro in his temple. Nanai Miguel still serves as Char's personal aide-de-camp. Nanai is in love with Char, but whatever romantic relationship they had in their home world was for show, and it hasn't evolved into anything more in the Pantheon. Then there's the most complicated case: Lalah Sune. Possibly Char's One True Love, she was refused the title of Attack Drone as the Court feared her presence would add fire to the already toxic rivalry between Char and Amuro. Char was not deterred and had her resurrected and smuggled into the Pantheon via back channels, paying Chief Justice Johnson for his silence. Since then, Lalah's presence has been kept secret even after Johnson was replaced as Chief Justice by the Judge (who was pragmatic enough to look the other way). It's likely Lalah agreed to share Char with Natalie Bianchi, his Second Love and mother of his child who he lost to yet another political crisis in U.C. 0083, the reason why he left Axis for the AEUG. Char's love life is, to put it simply, a train-wreck.
  • Char has had a lot of trouble with finding a high priest. A LOT. His first pick was Full Frontal, but their differing viewpoints would cause friction between the two. One alternate continuity finally broke the ice between them, and not in a good way; the Char of said AU wanted to use the asteroid Axis as a focus point of sorts to face a looming threat, while Frontal wanted to proceed with Char's original plan of causing global winter. Char forced Frontal to abdicate his High Priest status until further notice, which became permanent when he replaced him with Zechs Merquise. Speaking of Zechs, Char actually had made him his second high priest out of pity for their similar backgrounds. Zechs once went into a Death Battle against Tommy Oliver, which Zechs won due to having more experience, and prompted Char to ascend him proper.
    • For a period, Char's candidates for high priest began ascending to the Pantheon proper without even getting to serve, including Graham Aker and Tatsuya Yuuki. Eventually Char decided to source one from a world less paid attention to: the world of Mobile Suit Gundam AGE. Now, Vagan commander Zeheart Galette serves as his high priest and one of his junior officers in the Mecha Cohort, commanding its Vagan forces. Char also elected him out of pity for his faith in Project Eden denying him the chance at a normal life and rendering all the sacrifices he had made moot. As a favour to him, he has made Fram Nara, his Love Interest, Marida Cruz's high priestess, if only to soothe Zeheart's inner pain.
  • Melkor was among the first to welcome him to the Pantheon, but knew not to recruit him immediately since Char would definitely smoke him out as bad news. Instead, Melkor had his Number Two Johan Liebert tour him around the Pantheon, particularly the worst areas of the House of Military and Warfare to convince him to join the GUAE for the sake of ending the Forever War. That didn't convince Char at all. What did though was the promise of seeing the greater Gundam metaverse and spreading his father's ideology in universes where hope still existed for them. Where the Grand United Alliance of Good sought to curb over-interference into the standard timeline of the fictional universes, the GUAE sought to oppose them at every turn, which is technically true. Char would accept the offer and formally establish the Mecha Cohort with legions of Neo Zeon soldiers at his command. To this day, Char still isn't convinced that he made the right choice.
    • There exists plenty of instances when his conviction has been shaken, like during Perfectio's time in the Pantheon. He's seen the horrors Perfectio has wrought and thinks that its atrocities go too far even for his liking. Things got so bad that the GUAE Mastermind began thinking Char was losing his wits since Melkor had no plans to induct Perfectio into the GUAE. When Melkor learnt that Char had contacted Magneto about joining the GUAG, he moved quickly to prevent Char's departure. Next thing people knew, Perfectio was out of the Pantheon and Char remains the leader of the Cohort. History would repeat when Ex- ascended to bring eternal despair to the Pantheon. He lets Ex- work more or less separately from the Cohort so he will be isolated when the GUAG comes for him. Any deity who is or was once an ally with either of them is an automatic enemy for him full-stop, such as Harbinger.
  • He was a captain in his home world, though being the leader of a GUAE branch, he was promoted to rear admiral, vice admiral and admiral as the Cohort grew in size. A victorious battle against the Grand United Alliance of Chaos with a successful bipartisan campaign alongside the GUAE Conquest Force saw him promoted to Grand Admiral, the first ever in the GUAE since Thrawn. At the awards ceremony, Char was quick to shake hands with Emperor Palpatine, commander of the Conquest Force and establish an alliance with him for pragmatic reasons. While this has led to some triumphs in mending the rocky relationship between the Mecha Cohort and the Conquest Force, Palpatine doesn't really care about the Red Comet and his Newtype 'bantha fodder', since the Force is far superior to this.
  • The GUAE Mecha Cohort has among the worst factional divisions in the GUAE, and the worst of these is between Char and Gihren Zabi, one of the many men who he's sworn to kill. Char still leads the majority of the Mecha Cohort as the official leader, endorsed by the Four Horsemen, the GUAE Conquest Force (specifically Thrawn) and most of the other Alliances. He was eventually persuaded to officially make a stand against Gihren, effectively beginning a civil war between Char's "Red Zeon" or "True Zeon" faction and Gihren's "Black Zeon" or "Zeon Reich" faction. Gihren would then capture several replica mobile bases around the GUAE's extradimensional space, with A Baoa Qu as his headquarters, while Char would seize control of Axis and Solomon as his principal mobile bases.
    Char: To Gihren and his brood, your supremacist ideals have already ruined what Zeon has fought for: independence and peace. And now you continue to pursue your war-mongering ideology that perverts everything that my father stood for?
    To you I say, you are a shame to all Spacenoids! For using your homeland as a means to destroy humanity and reshape it to your liking and for using Deikun's Newtype theory to boost your own popularity, while not believing in its truth yourself! Today, I officially denounce your baseless ideals for death and destruction!
    We shall realize the vision of Zeon Zum Deikun and all visionaries who desired the same, and will bring the Gundam metaverse into a new age of tranquility, a utopia for all of humanity! Not just for Spacenoids, for all of humanity! For too long has our species witnessed the horrors of war, and I wish to end it against the wishes of the tyrant that is Gihren Zabi!
    I ask you once more to stand up for your fatherland, the Republic of Zeon! And not just the nation, but all that it stands for. If you are willing to fight once more, this Forever War will end all wars if we do something about it! We will not let Gihren do as he pleases! We will fight for the rights of our people! Will you join me?
    (cue thunderous applausenote , Char silences the crowd)
    • Ever since Gihren brought in his family as backup, they've split into three camps: one that backs Gihren (Sasro and for a while, Garma), one that backs Char (Degwinnote , Dozle, Kycilia and later Garma), and Mineva who opposes both. Char has a soft spot for the young girl and is genuinely proud that she has risen as a true leader. He similarly has some level of respect/comradeship with Dozle and Garma (the latter out of a mix of contempt and pity) but treats Kycilia simply as a business ally.
    • One of his most conflicted loyalists, Haman Karn leads the Axis Zeon fleet of the GUAE Mecha Cohort and boy, is she trouble. Their fraught relationship causes them to stay away from each other most of the time, especially because she resembles Artesia. Haman is particularly noxious on Char because of her previous attraction to him and troubles with Natalie Bianchi, a dear friend of hers. Char sympathizes with Haman's plight because he basically abandoned her for the AEUG as a 14-year old to rule Axis Zeon, a decision that began her Start of Darkness, but cannot forgive her for using Mineva Lao Zabi as a figurehead ruler for the remnant. So long as Gihren remains stubborn in his campaign, they'll work together.
    • Another conflicted loyalist is Zeon pilot Anavel Gato and his herald Aiguille Delaz, who served under Haman Karn's division of the Mecha Cohort until Gihren ascended. However, Gihren's increasingly brutal warmongering and plans to attack a defenseless Regild Century for supplies soured relations. Gato and Delaz would lead a revolution against Gihren loyalists, gather all other dissidentsnote  and flee for Axis. While Gato is more or less loyal to Char nowadays, his idea of Zeonism is very different from his superior's, favouring parts of Gihren's ideology.
    • Another faction would rise when Durandal's Earth Alliance counterparts, Muruta Azrael and Lord Djibril ascended. Char vilifies them for being leaders of an anti-Coordinator organization which supports War for Fun and Profit and using Biological CPUs and the Extended (the CE equivalent of Cyber-Newtypes) as weapons, treating them as property. He curses their jealousy towards Coordinators for causing the world of SEED to become such a Crapsack World. When he approached Azrael for an alliance, he just laughed maniacally and told Char to stick it. The only consolation Char has is that Azrael and Djibril despise all Newtypes and thus only work with Gihren's side for the convenience. The Blue Cosmos sub-faction is smaller than Gihren's but Char is of the opinion that they will prove to be a nuisance in the future.
    • While Rau Le Creuset supports Gihren, Char is a bit more sympathetic to his Cloning Blues and has been trying to get Rau to see that humanity can overcome the depths to which Rau claims it has fallen by evolving into Newtypes (which he suspects that Rau has already become). Rau just smiles condescendingly and points out that Char has fought and killed Newtypes himself, thereby proving in his own eyes that they are still the same self destructive race no matter what. He's also tried swaying Patrick Zala, but eventually conceded that only his son might have any hope of helping him.
    • Ever since Melkor transferred the Decepticons to the GUAE Mecha Cohort, Char has had to share authority with Megatron who makes no secret of his contempt for him. More than once already has Char had to squash mini-drones deployed by Soundwave to spy on him.
    • In preparation for the invasion of the Gundam metaverse, Char ordered Anaheim engineers to perfect his Sazabi for use against Overdeities. The subsequent 'Project: Scarlet Tears' produced its Beltorchika's Children variant, the MSN-04II Nightingale which he now uses. In response, Amuro has had his ν Gundam upgraded into the Hi-ν Gundam.
  • It should be noted that Char is above all, a sociopath. Char's entire life has been devoted to avenging his father and championing his ideology, so everything else is either a pawn or distraction to him. His charisma lures many to his side, but if an opportunity presents itself, he will not hesitate to throw his own allies under the bus. Simply put, do not trust him. This is where his alliance with Grand Admiral Thrawn comes in. Char is more of an opportunist than a bonafide tactician while Thrawn has true strategic and tactical skills. Both sets of strengths perfectly complement each other, which is why both officers are attempting to bridge the gap between the Conquest Force and the Mecha Cohort. Thrawn is quick to seek Char's opinion should something relevant come up, and the Red Comet's judgement is usually sound. The same goes for Leader Abelt Dessler, Juzo Okita's arch-nemesis. Most other villains see his GUAE Mecha Cohort as a cheap 'toy fair' that's more appropriate for the House of Craft than warfare. Char does have a soft side, but one has to be in deep to uncover it.
  • Zamasu of course just had to give his two cents on Char's ideology:
    Zamasu: Bah! Moving humans to space for their own good? Them evolving into a stronger race and better communicating with each other? Having dwelt in my universe and this domain for eons, I can tell you that is nothing but a petty ideal that will never come to pass. I foresee that your philosophy will devolve into nothingness and that humanity will devolve into the primitive animals they once were. Oh wait, they did. That is why they must be purged. Their innate corruption implores that my justice be called on to strike judgement upon them!
  • Darth Vader is among the only few GUAE members he genuinely enjoys spending time with, as the Dark Lord reminds him of Carozzo Ronah. Being incredibly similar iconic fallen heroes who both inspired a fountain of clones, Vader's problems with love, manipulation and troubles with politics, having undergone betrayal after betrayal (except Vader was on the receiving end), are all things Char can relate to. Vader has kindly provided Char a squad of death troopers to train as mobile suit pilots as a trial run for the rest of his 501st Legion. Char's respect for Vader is strong enough for him to continue supporting his agenda after his Heel–Face Turn and leaving the GUAE. This and Char effectively being Vader's predecessor in many ways (since he came before Vader was ever revealed as Luke's father) might explain why Palpatine doesn't like him.
  • Char, being so out of touch with emotions in general doesn't understand how his negative qualities have made him the most popular character in the Gundam franchise. Try as he might, he can't avoid the publicity that follows him around in the Pantheon. While he mostly accepted fame in-universe as it was part of his plan, his fame in the Pantheon borders on stalkerish. Every November 17th, rabid fans (including Sei Iori and Fumina Hoshino) gather in front of his temple wearing red robes and mieters with command antennae in hopes of getting an autograph and his blessing. Char makes it a point not to be in the vicinity for that whole day. As much as Char understands their disappointment, he's got more important matters to attend to. Well aware that he attracts young girls, and makes it clear that he does not intend for this to happen, as he only has eyes for Lalah.
    • Privately, the publicity amuses him enough to keep a secret stash of Char merchandise in a secret basement. He owns and uses a custom laptop made in his image, a Nintendo Game Cube, a Game Boy Advance SP, a motorbike helmet, a Nintendo 3DS, a credit card from GE Consumer Finance called the Char Custom (which receives three times as many bonus points per 1000 yen spent compared to their other Gundam-related credit cards), and a red Toyota Auris (which Char himself did an advert fornote ) from Zeonic Toyota (a branch of Toyota). Yuuki Terumi snapped a photo of him posing in the car and spread it online, provoking laughter from his deputies, even Haman. Char intends to get back at the GUAE Trollkaiger for this, but knows that Terumi's trolling is a show of Obfuscating Stupidity to bait him. Who knows, Terumi might have been hired by Gihren to annoy him to death.
    • He isn't as averse to Tatsuya Yuuki's presence, since he's the Gundam Build Fighters equivalent of a Char Clone. They frequently hold training sessions together in the simulators, with Yuuki piloting his PF-78-3A Gundam Amazing Red Warrior. Char is very impressed with the Meijin's sheer determination and passion for Gunplanote  and has encouraged him to join the GUAG as a professional pilot so he can have a Worthy Opponent again that he doesn't despise personally. As much as Yuuki would love to, he prefers spreading his love for Gunpla to others and becoming a mecha pilot connected with its horrors would probably turn him off.
    • Char was also warned beforehand when registering his particulars in the Pantheon's identification network of his voice actor's acting pedigree, and not to go paranoid if he heard his voice elsewhere in the Pantheon. Most of them (except Durandal) have either a close relationship or no relationship at all. Shuichi Akai is an FBI agent and thus has no business being near MS operations. Deities voiced by Toru Furuya like Yamcha and Tooru Amuronote  stay away from Char when possible since their voice could potentially trigger a hostile relationship with the man.
    • Admin staff also warned him of the numerous expies he spawned while walking him through the whole heralds and high priest deal. Not that Char cares for many of them, especially Relius Clover for his cruelty. While he himself suffers from Lack of Empathy, that doesn't translate into villainy for the heck of it or cruel experiments.
  • Insists that painting an object red doesn't actually make it go faster, despite his own existence disproving that. It's skill that allowed him to handle the excess G-forces. He warns pilots wanting to emulate him of the risk redlining their suits entail, and discourages them for recklessly endangering their lives to become an Ace Pilot. He's only made an exception for the Warhammer 40k Orks who paint objects or beings red to make them go faster because all Orks share a psychic link allowing them to impose belief on reality.
    Char: (in a video diary) Look at Breniss Ox. He didn't become the top-scoring ace of the One Year War by painting his suit in gaudy colours. He based his kill count on skill alone. That's why he got the moniker 'One-Shot Killer', from his sniping skills. Pilots needlessly throwing away their lives to mimic people like me, such a waste...
  • It didn't take long for Char and Amuro to come across each other in the Pantheon. What did take a long time was the ensuing fistfight the two had when they bumped into each other outside the House of Combat, of all places. It took a while before their respective heralds managed to restrain the two. Amuro has sworn to end Char's agenda once and for all and if possible force him out of the Pantheon. Both have made peace with each other since their initial altercation but regrettably find themselves on the opposite sides of a war yet again. Amuro has had it with Char's manipulation ruining people's lives, especially Lalah and Quess Paraya. On a good day, they can converse cordially should they come across each other off-duty, but they'd rather not. Char once questioned Amuro on why he continues to fight despite knowing of the Federation's inevitable collapse and lack of a proper goal, especially since he's slightly stronger than Char. Amuro's answer was simple:
    Amuro: As long as you fight, I will. This Forever War won't end unless people like you and me do something about it.
  • Pities many of the Evangelion pilots and in fact the world of Neon Genesis Evangelion as a whole, considering its warlike state prompted an enigmatic organization to take matters into their own hands and regress humanity into a single organism for the sake of peace. Yui Ikari especially reminds Char of his own mother Astraia and blames her fate squarely on her husband for being unable to accept loss. Gendo merely scoffs: Char's own unwillingness to let go of his father's ideology and just have a normal life basically caused the twenty or thirty-so years of anarchy after the One Year War, not to mention the Axis Shock which he directly caused. What he didn't expect was for Char to acknowledge his own hypocrisy and turn it back at Gendo:
    Char: What's different between you and me is that I knew the magnitude of my actions and that it would save billions of people while killing the same number. You sacrificed humanity to see one person again.
  • He is infamous as one of the most capable leaders in the GUAE. Had it not been for Khan, Char Aznable might have been at the top of the Enterprise's list of enemies. James T. Kirk, one of the commanders of the GUAG interstellar fleet (among others) doesn't give a mite about Char's ideology, even if it has solid evidence, because in his view, no one should ever be sacrificed or forced to do something they don't want to 'for the greater good'. Char, for his part, despises those who commit evil for an unrealistic or petty reason. Light Yagami is certainly one of those, as is Petyr Baelish. One lost himself in the power of the Death Note and the other's end goal is chaos to gain power. There's a reason why Char hates the Grand United Alliance of Chaos with a passion.
  • Continues to preach his father's ideology in the Pantheon but is perfectly fine with people who don't see it his way. Not everyone is of the opinion that Earth should be abandoned. Char sees it the same way Jim Gordon does: if he only worked with people sincerely loyal to the Deikun's ideology, he'd have nobody. In line with how much he idolizes his father, he's funded the construction of Zeon Zum Deikun statues all over the Pantheon, which are in these locations:
    • In front of his temple (the largest one)
    • The House of Leadership, part of a line of famous fictional leaders (specifically next to a statue of Scolar Visari)
    • The Interdimensional Time Displacement Museum of the Multiverse (in fact, a museum wing is named after it)
    • The sub-house of Conquest & Conquerorsnote 
    • The sub-house of Acts of War, co-funded by Degwin Zabi after the original was torn down by Gihren
  • Information has surfaced that, at some point, likely after that whole mess with the Titans, he used his identity as Quattro to become an Admiral and join the fight against the Abyssal Fleet for a brief period of time. Char remembers none of this and has no intention of ever discussing the matter ever again.
  • Dr. Eggman is neutral on Char for the time being, but is prepared to oppose him if he decides to do another Colony Drop on his universe. One of his stories involved him building Eggmanland, and he can't build Eggmanland if there is no world to build it on. All the Mega Men, especially X and Zero despise him due to having experienced similar incidents before.
  • Has plenty of people to look up to in the Pantheon, including some thinkers who he swears have similar ideals as his father. Charles Xavier's mutant theses have him interested in meeting the man, especially since they both share Psychic Powers and a desire for peace amongst their people.
  • Char continues to stand by the words of his father, and will always believe in the future of Newtypes, no matter how much he changes otherwise. Many will always respect him for this, and more and more will flock to his side.
    Deikun: "O people of space! Now is the time to awaken! To realize your latent potential! We are at the dawn of a transformation of mankind. A true enlightenment of the human race. And we may finally be poised, ready to transcend what has always been thought the impossible- infinite space, and time itself. This is no idle dream. To live in a new universe, man must transcend the psychological limitations of his old environment!"

  • Domains: Colours, Aliens, Incomprehensibility, Mutation, Contamination, Meteors

  • Allies: The Sleeper, Phazon...and that's about it.
  • Enemies: The SCP Foundation, The Imperium of Mankind, the Houses of Nature Preservers, Beast and Plants, Agent K and Agent J, pretty much anything that gets too close to it
  • Chronicler: H.P Lovecraft
  • Interests: Nurgle, The Grox
  • Confuses: Its own house
  • On speaking terms with: The House of Toxicity (as much as it can be)
  • The Colour From Outer Space is an enigmatic creature. Arriving to Arkham, Massachusetts on a meteor the titular Colour caused mutations. Crops and livestock became frail, sickly and inedible. People were driven mad and mutated. This toxic entity's true nature was never discovered, but it was clearly imicable to the town around it and all human life.
  • Nobody's sure what the hell the Colour From Outer Space is. It's considered the most alien alien Lovecraft ever made, which is really saying something. Nobody knows if the thing is even sentient, and its nature as an Fictional Colour means even its own house has no idea what it is. Hell, the Grox, who are imicable to almost all life, are baffled and fascinated by it. And even they find it toxic, but wish to understand it anyway.
  • Arrived through a Pillar of Light as a Magic Meteor. The SCP Foundation was notified of the strange Body Horror surrounding it, and went on to secure and contain it. While not an official SCP, it is the kind of bizarre thing that the SCP Foundation is used to dealing with and they classed it as Euclid. The Men In Black helped with the containment.
  • The safest place in the pantheon to put the Colour From Outer Space was the House of Toxicity, who's long-standing tolerance to poison and other toxic elements let them resist the negative effects or just be immune. They have discovered its effects are similar to radiation poisoning. The Lich was curious about this and wondered if it was one of the monsters before time he has spoken about.
  • Spreading itself like an infection, the Imperium of Mankind believed it was some sort of Chaos strain. However the Chaos Gods had no responsibility and the Colour From Outer Space may be strange enough even they can't touch it. This didn't stop Nurgle from becoming interested in its viral and infecting qualities. Most consider a combination of Chaos and the Colour From Outer Space to be horrific.
  • The rest of the House of Nature stays far away from the Color From Outer Space, being deadly to almost all known forms of life. The Nature Preservers think the Colour shouldn't exist and needs to be expunged from the pantheon. The plant residents want it gone before its infection spreads across their house. And outside the House of Beast wants it gone too for the damage it causes to animal life.
  • Only the House of Otherness Abominations seem to fully understand what The Colour From Outer Space is. They don't fear it in the slightest, regarding it less as an Eldritch Abomination and more "a mere alien strange enough that normal mortals think it's an Eldritch Abomination". It is one of those entities strange enough that SCP-682's murder reflex isn't triggered, at least. Phazon feels some kinship towards the Colour as they're eldritch infecting entities, albeit the Colour is a lesser being and the Colour is probably not truly aware of Phazon.
  • The Doctor is very curious towards the Colour from Outer Space as it's one of those rare occasions where he has no idea what the Starfish Alien truly is. He'll work to stop it causing problems, and is confident that at the very least there's no evil intent. The Sleeper's interest was far more insidious, as it is very similar and believes it to be a relation.
