• Amongst the stars in space, there is a special world of miracles known as Planet Popstar. On the Planet is the Kingdom of Dreamland, a place of peace and quiet, if you like that sort of thing. One day, the greedy King Dedede stole all of the food in his own Kingdom and kept it to himself, leaving the residents in despair. Luckily, they had a hero: Kirby. Kirby began sucking Dedede's forces into their mouth and alternatively ate them or spat them out as star shaped projectiles, swiftly defeating Dedede himself and returning the food he stole. But this was far from the end. Popstar would soon be besieged by countless monstrosities seeking either conquest or oblivion. But Kirby held strong, inhaling and copying the abilities of lesser enemies and striking down the aberrations that threatened their home. Dedede would go from a greedy foe to a reliable ally, and would join a collage of other heroes alongside Kirby, but Kirby would always be the star of the show, fighting evil with their infinite power and endless appetite. They also picked up an odd proclivity for looking more aggressive in certain depictions of their games, but still maintained their unfailingly noble nature.
• Kirby's arrival in the Pantheon was about as abrupt as his apparent arrival on Planet Popstar. One day Kirby just appeared on his Warp Star. As it turned out, Majin Buu in his Super Buu form had paid a visit to Kirby's home of Planet Popstar, wanting to get some destruction done out of boredom. Buu would soon learn that he picked the wrong planet to try to blow up, as he was thrashed by Popstar's guardian. Unwilling to continue a fight he was losing so badly, Buu tried to flee back to the safety of his Temple within the Pantheon. What he didn't expect was for the transdimensional nature of Kirby's Warp Star to allow the Super Tough Pink Puff to follow him, wherein Kirby resumed his pummeling of Buu before inhaling him. As Kirby went to head back, he was instead confronted by the Court of the Gods. Thinking he was under attack, he defended himself by alternately punching out, and swallowing deities until the Court managed to placate him by offering him a cake. Afterwards, Kirby was allowed to stay as the god of stomach voids and more serious cover artwork.
• At first, Kirby was pretty lonely after ascending, due to none of their friends being with them. However, they were thrilled when this began to change. Thanks to King Dedede's reformation into one of Kirby's best friends, the two were quite happy to see each other again, with both partaking in events like Gourmet Races, though they also spar a bit. The Masked Swordsman Meta Knight was also happy to see that Kirby had beaten him into the Pantheon, at least as happy as he could be. Meta Knight has at times loaned his sword Galaxia to Kirby, though like Dedede, they also spar frequently. A few deities were surprised to see that one of Kirby's closest friends was Bandana Waddle Dee. The two have had tons of adventures together, with Bandana Dee indicating that he went with Kirby to save Ripple Star from Dark Matter. In more recent times Kirby has also been protective of the Waddle Dees as a whole, though Kirby usually fights against them.
  • When Dark Matter first returned, Kirby fought them with the Animal Friends, and a new friend: the former Dark Matter, Gooey. Much like Kirby, Gooey can copy the abilities of others, and loves to eat and sleep. When Gooey showed up in the Pantheon, there was a happy reunion with the other heroes who fought Dark Matter. During Kirby's final battle with Dark Matter, he befriended a Human girl, and painter named Adeleine who helped him gather up the Crystal Shards after she was freed from Dark Matter to stop the Horde for good. He happily welcomed her when she ascended and they can be found painting together with the Animal Friends.
  • Kirby has a talent for redeeming their enemies, even outside of Dedede. While Magolor betrayed Kirby to obtain the Master Crown, Kirby forgave him when he returned and tried to make amends by building things like Merry Magoland, aided by Magolor's sentient ship, the Lor Starcutter, being willing to forgive him too. When the Haltmann Works Company invaded Popstar, Kirby and Susie met as sworn enemies. This changed when Star Dream went rogue and attempted to purge all life in existence, as Susie gave Kirby the Robobot Armor they used against Star Dream. After her reformation, Susie began advertising the benevolent revival of the HWC, which Kirby happily participates in, even if they don't get her marketing tactics. When Kirby fought the Jambandran Religion, Magolor, and Susie pitched in to help. Ironically, the Jambandran Generals would themselves get redeemed by Kirby in Another Dimension after they freed their hearts with 120 Friend Hearts. The Mages can now be found rocking out with Kirby in their free time.
  • Kirby sometimes gets fairy like friends on their adventures, such as their strongly implied crush, Ribbon the Fairy of Ripple Star. While Ribbon hasn't ascended yet, they are hopeful that she will some day, especially since a similar friend, Elfilin, has ascended. Kirby and Elfilin were already close friends thanks to their adventures in the New World, but they bonded further when Elfilin learned of Kirby's connection to Void Termina, and how it's similar to Elfilin's connection to his other part, Fecto Forgo. As it turns out, the Kirby in the Pantheon isn't the only Kirby out there. In another universe, Kirby landed on Popstar in a spaceship and befriended the people of Cappy Town while combating the forces of the Holy Nightmare Corp. The warrior Silica is familiar with that version of Kirby, and was shocked when Kirby greeted her while being able to speak in complete sentences, as her Kirby could only say "Poyo". Still, Silica was happy to team up with Kirby against things like Dark Matter once more.
• Throughout all of Kirby's adventures, there has only been one malevolent force that Kirby has vanquished in multiple adventures, only for it to continue coming back even more powerful. The Dark Matter Horde. When Kirby first fought Dark Matter, it was a single being attacking the Rainbow Islands. When the two next clashed, Kirby got a taste of the universe consuming true scope of the Horde when it easily conquered all of Popstar in seconds. Using the combined gratitude of the people of Popstar, Kirby felled the "leader" of Dark Matter, Zero. All was quiet, until Ribbon landed with the fragments of the Crystal of Ripple Star scattered throughout the universe. Kirby, Ribbon, Adeleine, Bandana Dee, and Dedede would finally end the Horde once and for all in Dark Star, with Kirby and Ribbon jointly slaying the reborn Zero, 02. When Kirby learned that the Horde had ascended, they scrambled to get the Love Love Stick assembled to stop them as they began possessing deities left and right. Kirby drove the Horde back again, but they know that Dark Matter will keep coming until it wins, or is destroyed, and has taken steps to ensure the former never happens.
  • In Silica's home universe, Kirby's biggest foe is instead Nightmare, and his Holy Nightmare Corp, who had a very similar role to Dark Matter. The Kirby within the Pantheon was surprised to learn that Nightmare became such a major threat in the other universe, and he made Nightmare understand that he wasn't interested in his shenanigans. While hardly the biggest threats Kirby has faced, Whispy Woods and Kracko have proven themselves to be among the most stubborn, as no matter how many times Kirby beats them up they keep coming back for more. As Kirby went on more and more adventures, he also found himself meeting a trio of beings like Meta Knight, but lacking his heroism. These deities were Dark Meta Knight, Galacta Knight, and Morpho Knight. The Star Warrior has made sure to thoroughly pacify the dangerous knights whenever they fought, even if not all of these fights have been officially verified.
  • Kirby has a knack for drawing in dangerous villains. Marx tricked Kirby into getting him access to the wish granting entity NOVA so he could take over Popstar. Drawcia turned Popstar into a painting and cursed Kirby so that they lost all of their limbs. Queen Sectonia's cruelty made the People of the Sky use the Dreamstalk to summon Kirby to stop her, and she merged with it in response. Star Dream oversaw the Haltmann Works Company taking over Popstar, and later set out to kill all life in the multiverse, Kirby's Robobot Halberd Mode in hot pursuit. Fecto Forgo pulled Kirby into the New World as it hunted for its other half, Elfilin, and eventually regained its status as the Ultimate Life-Form, Fecto Elfilis. Though they're all very strong, especially the godlike Flowered Sectonia, Fecto Elfilis, and Star Dream, none of them could stop Kirby from saving everything over and over. All of them see Kirby as their most dangerous foe, and while Kirby returns the sentiment, they hold them in equal contempt except for maybe Fecto Forgo.
• The villain that upset Kirby the most with his ascension was Void Termina. Void Termina is far and away the strongest and most dangerous being Kirby has ever fought, and is strongly implied to be the progenitor of every single one of Kirby's other mightiest villains, including Dark Matter, and is even implied to be the origin of Kirby themself. While normally very chipper and happy, Kirby is extremely uncomfortable and sensitive about his possible creator, to the point that Kirby is willing to work with Marx and Dark Meta Knight to stop Void. However, in more recent times, something rather curious has taken place. It was discovered that Void Termina is but a mere echo of a greater being: the omniversal origin of all possibilities, Astral Birth Void. While they haven't been officially verified, several deities have reported that after Kirby defeated Astral Birth Void, the God could be seen enjoying snacks and naps with their nemesis. Many deities that dread Void Termina are praying for these rumors to be true, however the official stance is that Kirby is sworn enemies with him. Should the Destroyer of Worlds go on a rampage again, the Star Warrior is fully prepared to charge after the Beast with the Star Allies Sparkler, three other allies, and the Friend Hearts primed for putting a stop to him.
• When Kirby inhales someone, they acquire a Copy Ability that mimes the powers that person has, and adds further abilities based upon said power, along with a corresponding hat. If they swallowed Zatanna, Kirby would become Magic Kirby, complete with top hat. If they swallowed Zaheer, they would become Tornado Kirby, and so on. Link was intrigued when he heard of Sword Kirby having a near identical hat to his own, and Kirby has been happy to spar with him. In more recent times, Kirby has been seen with the ESP Ability. Like Link, Ness was intrigued, and as with Link, Kirby was happy to compare their PSI to that of Ness, and his teammates. Afterwards, the Chosen Four started hanging out with Kirby, even outside of Smash.
• If there is one thing Kirby is known for more than anything else it's that they love to eat. They have gone on a quest to save a slice of cake. They have a bottomless void of a stomach in the most literal way possible. With a Miracle Fruit, they become a black hole able to inhale reality itself, including things beyond the Fourth Wall. This soon drew the rivalry of others with an appetite such as Gluttony, and Patrick Star, with both partaking in Gourmet Races to see who can eat more. Kirby likes Patrick more due to him having more morals than the Homunculus, on top of them both being pink omnivores. Obelix and Chowder are also fellow gourmets who struck up a friendship with Kirby after an eating competition. Their combined appetites can clear out dozens of dinner courses in seconds, as one buffet in the House of Food had to temporarily ban them from their premises when they ate everything on the tables, leaving the other patrons with nothing. This was especially embarrassing for Kirby, as he is one of the House's guardians. Conversely, Kirby loathes Louie, whose crimes of stealing the food of others (including Kirby's) remind Kirby of Dedede's meaner past.
  • Of course, while Kirby's appetite is endless, they do have standards. Abominations such as Ungoliant, and Darth Nihilus earned their disgust for desiring to devour all of existence, and everyone in it. The Star Warrior has vowed to destroy them to stop the threats they pose, and has some extra resentment for them specifically, due to both sharing a nature with Kirby. Similarly, Kirby despises the Anti-Monitor, and the Devourer for their atrocious crimes revolving around their devouring of entire universes. Both the Anti-Monitor, and the Devourer return the sentiment, as Kirby miraculously proved to be immune to their attempts to erase them from existence, and the two eventually retreated after a long and bloody fight.
  • Though they will eat almost anyone, Kirby doesn't actually hurt their meals, as they eventually just reappear elsewhere. In fact, Kirby loathes deities who eat other people with malicious intent. They proved this by hunting down Pennywise and punting him into orbit. Monstro is also disliked by Kirby, as he once tried to eat Kine, and Susie. Kirby answered by inhaling Monstro with Hypernova, which the whale took very personally. When Dawn Bellwhether heard of Kirby she denounced them as the embodiment of the worst traits of predators, even after Kirby protected Zootopia from Fecto Forgo, something that deeply hurt their feelings. She merely voiced that they deserve to feel awful for their omnivorous ways.
  • During one clash with Darth Nihilus, Kirby was surprised when the Sith Lord abruptly fled. They turned, and gazed into the maw of Galactus. Kirby swiftly retreated on their Warp Star, and saw Galactus consume the place they had departed. When they confronted him, and learned of his plight, they still disliked him for his lack of care for the lives he ends. They loathe Unicron even more, he choses to consume worlds out of cruelty. When Unicron went to consume Popstar, Kirby intercepted him. As it turns out, Kirby is strong enough to break a planet in half with one punch, which they demonstrated on Unicron. The result wasn't pretty, and Unicron did not take kindly to the offense, vowing to return and destroy them.
• Recently, Kirby has started to pick up odd new skills. When they helped Magolor rebuild the Lor, they got access to Super Abilities: five Copy Abilities put on steroids. The planet cleaving Ultra Sword seems to be Kirby's favorite. When they were in Floralia, they got Hypernova, which did the same thing for their inhale. When the HWC invaded, they got the Robobot Armor, a mech that can also copy things including Battleship Halberd. When the Jambandrans attacked, they were imbued with Friend Hearts, which allow them to make a friend out of anyone and team up for Friend Abilities. When they landed in the New World, they became able to take the shape of objects they cannot fully swallow like a car, and control it. The last one reminded Mario of his own recent adventures, and the two have begun comparing their many abilities, and their love of food.
• As Kirby went to drill through Star Dream, the almighty NOVA deemed Kirby to have infinite power. Countless deities were stunned by this news, with many looking at their other feats, and finding Star Dream's analysis to be correct. When Zamasu heard of the gumdrop born from the primordial Essence of Chaos, with the power to surpass even the strongest of Gods, including his ally Galeem, he was livid. Luckily, Android 21 warned Kirby of Zamasu's intent to kill them, and the Hero of Dreamland met him with the mighty Hammer ability, beating him to a pulp. When Goku heard of Kirby demolishing Zamasu, he immediately asked to spar with the Star Warrior, and was thrilled with how strong they were. Kirby liked the Sayian's appreciation of food, and Goku can now be seen enjoying Gourmet Races, and sparring matches with Kirby.
  • Kirby's obscene full strength has attracted many a Challenge Seeker. When Undyne heard of how strong the Star Warrior was, she immediately challenged them to a duel. Even with her Determination she obviously lost, however she vowed to someday surpass Kirby, and they encourage her to get stronger to be able to save more people. The Pink Puff has a much colder relationship with Jiren. They were not pleased with Jiren's belief that Friendship is a weakness, especially as one of Kirby's most powerful weapons is the Star Allies Sparkler, which is formed from the strength of such bonds, among many other Friend Abilities. They made sure to demonstrate their distaste by beating Jiren with only Friend Abilities, and after they did so, Jiren dismissed his defeat as the result of Kirby "cheating".
  • After the Star Warrior's capacity for slaying divinity, including the creator of their reality became common knowledge, many other Creator Gods were enraged. YHVH, Perpetua, and Chakravartin all denounced the Star Warrior, and tried to kill them. They all failed. Kirby beat them both with their own power, determination, the Star Allies Sparkler, and their other most powerful weapon: Morpho Knight Sword, the ability that grants Kirby the powers of their reality's Grim Reaper, along with their friends. When Team Dai-Gurren heard of Kirby's skill at beating up entities of similar, if not greater strength than their nemesis Anti-Spiral, they were happy to befriend them, especially when they learned of Kirby's very own Gurren in the Robobot Armor, complete with transformation, fusion, and a drill they used to take out Star Dream.
• As Kirby's boundless strength, and litany of abilities meant to clobber beings of pure darkness, such as the Star Rod, and the weapons he used to combat Dark Matter, became well known, many bad guys became very nervous. Melkor is utterly terrified of Kirby above almost all others, even if Kirby isn't the most proactive of heroes, as Kirby is much stronger than him, and has weapons that burn him to cinders. He has been desperately searching for a villain capable of defeating Kirby, and has found no one up to the task. Janemba, the Shadow Queen, and King Sombra all share this sentiment, as those same weapons can all destroy them easily, and even force them out of the people they have possessed in the former two.
  • There are a plethora of other horrifying entities within the Pantheon that Kirby can be called on to fight. Aku sees Kirby as being just as dangerous as his nemesis Jack, due to Kirby having plenty of blades that are just as lethal to him as Jack's is, like the Rainbow Sword, and Galaxia, on top of their other abilities. When Kirby learned of Gigyas and their situation, the Star Warrior felt a great deal of sympathy for him, having been familiarized with the "Soul" Bosses in recent times, and vowed to use the Love Love Stick, or a Friend Star to exploit Gigyas' weakness to prayers and positive energy to put him out of his misery.
  • Kirby's war with beings like Dark Matter, and kinship with Team Dai-Gurren drew the hate of the Anti-Spiral. Anti-Spiral wasn't happy to learn that Kirby can use Spiral Energy, with or without the Robobot Armor, and can also use things like the Crystal Gun to supply other positive energies to slay them. When the Puella Magi met Kirby, they requested his help in stopping strong Witches. To their shock, Kirby is able to use Friend Hearts to genuinely purify their Soul Gems, not just hold back the corruption. Kirby was happy to grant the Magi access to the Friend Hearts so they could save the corrupted Magical Girls.
• Even though the full ceiling of his actual strength keeps going up, Kirby would much rather just enjoy sleeping, eating, and playing versus slaying reality eating monsters. His simple desires led to him forming a bond with Jigglypuff, another pink balloon who would rather not fight if it can be avoided, and he appreciates how her singing is a good sleep aid. The young Witch Ashley can also relate to this, as much like Kirby she tends to be portrayed as more aggro in certain depictions of her games. When the Dazzlings learned of Kirby's power but reluctance to fight, they decided to try hypnotizing him with a song. This didn't end well, as Kirby liked the music, and decided to try and sing with them as Mike Kirby...
• As heroes with a reputation for causing enormous amounts of damage protecting the stars, few were surprised that Kirby and Samus got along. What was a surprise to many was that Samus and Kirby knew each other long before they ascended, or even the first Smash Tournament. While the Dark Matter Horde was invading Popstar for the second time, Samus landed on the planet, hunting for Metroids. Kirby actually slew them all for her, and her gratitude over the effort helped Kirby to create the Love Love Stick to stop Zero. Samus has been happy to help Kirby fight other evil aliens such as Fecto Forgo as a result. Kirby is also familiar with Master Hand and Crazy Hand from the Mirror World. While they at first fought them as bosses, Kirby became an ally of them due to both playing a critical role in stopping Tabuu, and later being the only survior of Galeem's assault, going on to stop both it, and Dharkon with only their base abilities, both entities deeming Kirby their most dangerous foe. For Kirby, it was just another day at the office, though they were still happy to befriend the Hands, even getting their Smash Bros. moveset from inhaling Master Hand.
• If there is one deity that H.P. Lovecraft considers anathema to his works, it's Kirby. Lovecraft was befuddled by how Kirby had killed similar beings to the ones he chronicled, and the Star Warrior fueled this further when Nyarlathotep's minions attacked Dreamland, thinking that Kirby's stories of fighting eldritch beings was exaggerated hearsay. Kirby didn't take this well, and went in to clean house. Boy did he do so, as Kirby fought his way through the Outer God and his cronies, who was flummoxed by how implacable the puffball could be, even against an avatar of the Crawling Chaos. Nylarlathotep's humiliating defeat reached the ears of the other Outer Gods and Great Old Ones, who now have decided to leave the puffball and his friends alone for the knowledge of a being that can meaningfully fight back against them is extremely unwelcome.
  • When Nyarlathotep made his ill-fated attempt at attacking Popstar, Y'golonac accompanied him and ended up getting singled out during Kirby's onslaught. Like Kirby, the Defiler devours people, but like Dark Matter, he possesses others, and drives people to commit atrocities. The Star Warrior made his opinion clear when he annihilated him down to his soul. Y'golonac only survived thanks to his boss, and now cowers in fear at the mention of Kirby. Kirby also stands opposed to Azathoth, and his "friend" GOLB, due to seeing far too much of Void Termina in both for his liking. Sage, and Lord Vyce both saw Kirby's battle with the Great Old Ones, and were impressed. While Kirby hates Vyce's cruel authoritarianism, he likes Sage, who he sees as a great ally against Dark Matter and its ilk, even if she sees him as a friendly foe.
  • Due to Kirby's victories over Nyarlathotep and his goons, the other much weaker Crawling Chaos, Nyarko, practically wet herself due to assuming that she would be next on the chopping block. Her friend Hasta shares her opinion, as he personally saw Kirby defeat Hastur, and swiftly joined Nyarko as she trembled behind her ally, Rias Gremory, much to the latter's confusion. In response to this, Mahiro Yasaka, and Cuuko declared all out war on the Star Warrior. Cuuko was focused on protecting her beloved Nyarko from Kirby, and while Mahiro shared that motivation, he was also motivated by the contempt Kirby had for the Cthulhu Mythos and its gods, furthered by Lovecraft himself spitting upon the Puffball. Kirby is just mystified by their hostility, due to having no ill will towards Nyarko, and would much rather befriend them.
• While Kirby's capacity for taking down absurdly powerful foes is well earned, they are ultimately still a kid. They have an energetic Happy Dance after clearing a stage. They love sleep so much they have an entire Copy Ability centered around it. They can be easily manipulated, and their only focus is to enjoy life. They also aren't infallible, as Drawcia, Yin Yarn, Necrodeus, and Sectonia have all managed to get the better of Kirby, even coming close to ending them in the latter two cases. They can even be KO'd by a Waddle Dee if careless. And yet, fate always seems to be on their side, and it was more than just luck. Kirby was recently found to wield the "power of miracles" which they used to shatter the soul of Chaos Elfilis among other things. Sanae Kochiya was immediately interested, and ended up befriending Kirby due to their enjoyment of casual life over fighting horrors. By contrast, Bernkastel loathes Kirby due to their potential far exceeding her own, and she has been going out of her way to sic powerful deities on them to make Kirby's life miserable.
  • Due to greatly preferring the peaceful life a kid should normally get to have, Kirby started seeking out similar deities. It was through this that they met Dipper and Mabel Pines. Kirby stumbled upon Mabel attempting to brighten up the Pantheon, and decided to help out, the two bonding over their love of highly saccharine things, Dipper liking how happy Kirby made his sister. Through the Pines twins, the Star Warrior grew very close with Anne Boonchuy, Sasha Waybright, Marcy Wu, Luz Noceda, and Amity Blight. The Calamity girls like Kirby for their sunny attitude, and can relate to adventures not being all their cracked up to be, and have been happy to show Kirby around Wartwood. Luz and Amity were both reminded of the House Demon Hooty when they saw Kirby's hunger, and simple minded kindness, as well as King for their divine lineage while also knowing how quests can take a toll on kids like them.
  • Kirby's friendship with the Pines, Calamity Girls, and Lumity led to the Star Warrior happily visiting Gravity Falls, Amphibia, and the Boiling Isles to enjoy having fun with them. During one such trip to the Boiling Isles, they bumped into the Collector, and Erma Williams peaking at the local fauna. Kirby made even faster friends with both of them due to all three being incredibly overpowered kids who nonetheless much prefer playtime, and fun to slaying villains. Kirby also sympathizes with the Collector's uncomfortable relationship with the Archivists, and Erma's plight as a potential bringer of doom. The three have vowed to look out for each other no matter what. The Star Warrior's war with Dark Matter, also attracted the attention of the youths in the ranks of the Sailor Guardians. The Senshi have been happy to work with Kirby against his enemies, Moon even allowing herself to be eaten so Kirby can mix their powers.
• While Kirby is best known for their hunger, and power, they do have more mundane talents. They have a knack for tech, even being able to hijack an Invader Armor, and turn it into the Robobot. They are a semi-competent pilot. Most of all, Kirby is a good chef, befitting their gluttony. They can bake delicious Strawberry Shortcake. They even have a Copy Ability based on their cooking skills. Kirby's fellow guardian of the House of Food, Gordon Ramsay, was impressed with their cooking, and is happy to have Kirby as a sous-chef. When Palutena heard of their skills, she asked for them to tutor her so she doesn't have another "revolting dinner" incident, which Kirby is happy to do. Mr. Krabs, and Plankton were both also impressed, and tried to bribe Kirby to be a chef for them with food. Kirby was able to stomach Plankton's chum, but wasn't happy about it. When Plankton heard of Kirby's food based grudges and obscene power, he let out a scream that was rivaled only by his scream at the sight of Beerus, especially as Kirby is stronger than the Destroyer. Kirby also dislikes Mr. Krabs as his history of greed, and unsafe cooking practices made them very upset.
• When Majin Buu rematerialized after being inhaled, he was furious, and immediately went to attack Kirby again as Kid Buu. Kirby crushed Buu once more, and vowed to keep doing so as long as Buu attempted to hurt them, or others, with both pink warriors frequently clashing throughout the Pantheon. Due to Kirby's battles with Buu, he became fast friends with Android 21, and Fat Majin Buu. Both 21, and Fat Buu like Kirby for sharing their copying the powers of people they eat, though Kirby's targets always simply rematerialize elsewhere, unharmed. 21 in particular is interested in this ability, wondering if she could develop it to keep her Hunger satiated without hurting people, while Fat Buu enjoys attending Gourmet Races alongside Kirby.
  • After Kirby ascended, they began searching the Pantheon for places that reminded them of home before they landed in Ooo, and met Marceline. Marcie was curious when she saw Kirby swallowing some local monsters, and approached them, with both bonding over their similar powers, and dark ancestry. When Kirby attended the fourth Smash Tourney, they formally met Pac-Man, and Mega Man. Pac-Man was one of the deities who was eaten by Kirby when they first ascended, but he decided to resolve this rivalry by joining the Gourmet Races, and is trying to top Kirby's score. Mega Man was amazed by how Kirby is able to improve upon the powers of people he copies, where Mega Man can only take one attack from a Robot Master. He has been sticking with Kirby to learn if he could copy others like Kirby does.
  • Still, Kirby doesn't always appreciate similar deities. While at first they liked Rimuru Tempest due to both being blobs who copy the people they consume, Kirby was soon appalled by the cavalier attitude Rimuru has towards eating souls, citing how they only destroy souls when putting down a husk like Sectonia, or felling a monster who won't stay dead like Forgo. Alex Mercer, and the Grey Goo are outright enemies of the puffball, both trying, and failing to eat Kirby. Mercer is especially hated as he once ate the Goo, before consuming several of Kirby's friends. The Star Warrior came down on him hard, miraculously physically tearing him, and the Goo apart before vaporizing both with Flare Beam, saving their friends. Mercer has made consuming Kirby a top priority, with Kirby making sure to slay him if he gets out of control.
• While the Kingdom of Dreamland isn't a literal Dream Land, despite the name, Kirby has still beaten a variety of beings that seek to corrupt or utilize Dreams and Nightmares, such as Nightmare himself, as well as Fecto Forgo, Morpho Knight, and Astral Birth Void. As such, Ysera considers Kirby to be the ultimate Guardian of Dreams, and has offered to pay Kirby in countless snacks as thanks for the sheer amount of help they lend her in protecting the Dreams of the Pantheon. Kirby appreciates the sentiment, and happily accepts the sweets Ysera makes for them. Likewise, NiGHTS is happy to accept Kirby's help in battling the Nightmaren utilized by their foremost enemy Wizeman. Kirby returns the sentiment as they invite NiGHTS to participate in the occasional Warp Star race through the sky, or city trial. NiGHTS is also fascinated by Kirby's Copy Abilities, and has allowed himself to be inhaled to see the resultant ability.
  • When the Daedric Prince Vaermina attempted to fuse her realm of Quagmire with the rest of the Pantheon, she thought she would have no direct opposition as her enemies were busy trying to stop her influence. Then Kirby jumped into the fray. As Ysera explained the situation, the Star Warrior had an inspired idea and dove into the heart of Quagmire, challenging Vaermina herself. The Daedra laughed at this, until Kirby cleaned her clock. Vaermina was forced to reroute her forces to fight Kirby and eventually warped Kirby out of Quagmire and withdrew when that failed. Hearing how Kirby had floored the Deadric Prince in her own realm deeply frightened her weaker allies Wizeman and Freddy Krueger, especially Freddy, as he had already earned Kirby's wrath by trying to accost Adeleine.
  • Due to Kirby's partnership with Ysera, they quickly became hated enemies of the Old Gods, in particular N'Zoth, and Yogg-Saron. Kirby is more than happy to fight them for the Dragon Aspect, especially as Queen Sectonia has allied herself with the Old Ones to combine their insectoid forces against the Star Warrior. Bill Cipher was also intimidated by Kirby, and started peeking into their dreams to learn more about them. In doing so he learned of Kirby's Super Abilities, and how they tore holes in reality. Bill promptly attempted to commandeer one such hole, hoping to regain his physical form, and full power, and while he was successful in doing so, he was stunned that Kirby was still too much for him, especially with their Super Abilities, the battle ending with Fighter Kirby shattering Bill's body with a punch.
• While Kirby frequently slays beings of darkness, he has no ill will to people who utilize it for good. Gooey is a fragment of Dark Matter, and Kirby himself was likely spawned from Astral Birth Void, so he is happy to meet others like him. After he aided in a battle between the Hollow Knight and Queen Sectonia, he visited Hallownest, and befriended many of its residents. The Knight was happy to stand with Kirby against the Queen, and the two have started going on quests to help people in need. On one such quest, Kirby met the Radiance. Due to her fierce rivalry with Sectonia, the Radiance decided to try and conquer Popstar to prove her superiority. Instead, she met the Star Warrior, who beat her into the next week. She vowed to obliterate Dreamland, and the Knight vowed to protect Popstar from her whenever Kirby is too deep into a good nap.
• A lesser known element of Kirby's creation is how it's actually tied in to the history of Nintendo itself. Nintendo was hit with a lawsuit by Universal Studios over their creation of Donkey Kong, and was in mortal danger of being sued into oblivion. But fortunately for Nintendo, their lawyer, John Kirby, successfully defended them from the lawsuit, and Kirby was named in part in his honor. As such, Kirby has a very high opinion of defense attorneys such as Phoenix Wright, and Jennifer Walters, even hoping to copy their skills himself.
• Also seen as one of the Great Devourers in the House of Food.

• The Justice Society of America is a collective of Superheroes who decided to unite with one another with the shared goal and desire to help others and to defend the world against whatever evil forces threatened it. They were the direct predecessors of the Justice League of America down to the extent where the two groups, at first glance, are virtually indistinguishable from each other. However, the Justice Society was the archaic to the Justice League's more contemporary, for the former were much more content with valuing the core olden ethics, desires, and image of how one should be a hero and role model towards others. And few of them were as noteworthy and famous for holding up to these ethics as the very first iterations of The Flash and Green Lantern; Jay Garrick and Alan Scott.
  • Jason Peter Garrick was simply a college student who was one day working in his personal laboratory when suddenly, he inhaled hard water vapors^note At first. Nowadays, Jay ends up inhaling heavy water vapors which caused a dormant metagene in his body to suddenly awaken, which ends up imbuing him with the incredible powers of running and traveling at superhuman speeds incomprehensible to the eyes of ordinary people, becoming a being known as a metahuman. Jay initially used his powers to be a football star before deciding to craft a red suit with a yellow lightning bolt and fashioning himself as a crime-fighting superhero known as The Flash. He would lead a successful career, marrying Joan Allen in a relationship that has lasted and endured for a very long time as well as becoming an important and influential member of the Justice Society. His story and exploits would inspire a man named Barry Allen, who would go on to become the second iteration of The Flash. As it turns out, Barry and Jay did not exist in the same world, for Barry was in a Universe designated as Earth 1 whereas Jay came from Earth 2. Regardless, Jay's legacy has continued to have a profound and monumental impact on anyone who has donned the costume and identity of The Flash for years to come.
  • Alan Ladd Wellington Scott, a railroad engineer, was once traveling in a train when suddenly it derailed and was to become a devastating accident with Alan being the only survivor. The circumstances of Alan's survival were because there was a green-colored lantern powered by a magical energy known as the Starheart, which was once imprisoned by the Guardians of the Universe, which Alan grasped on as the train crashed, magically imbuing him with extraordinary powers that allowed him to create constructs using his imagination as well as conventional superpowers like flight and mystical tracking. Creating a ring through what Starheart had provided, Alan fashioned himself into a superhero known as the Green Lantern. Throughout his journey, he would meet new allies and enemies, particularly an arch-foe known as Solomon Grundy, and a chance encounter with a supervillainess, Thorn, sometime after Alan retired, would result in her having twin children with Alan, Jennifer-Lynn Hayden, and Todd Rice, both of whom grew up, not knowing their parentage and also inheriting powers from Alan due to the Starheart. Throughout it all, Alan managed to become a well-regarded hero in spite of his own personal troubles and flaws.
• Jay and Alan's impact and legacy have proven to have had monumental results for the DC Universe, namely that they inspired some of the greatest heroic monikers, in addition to themselves being seen as role models, especially Jay. Of course, with their successors having made their mark in the superhero community as well as becoming representatives and denizens in the Pantheon, Jay and Alan were seen to be incremental in the inspiration of further benevolent beings. So when the time came, a vote was commissioned by many who chose to allow original versions of The Flash and Green Lantern to be granted a spot in the Pantheon. And to no one's surprise, the common consensus was to allow them in, a sign that they were still seen as important. Their place and ascension in the Pantheon were to do with the fact that they represented The Golden Age of Comic Books, as Jay and Alan represent old and archaic ethics, standards, and a desire for help, which were the building foundations of what made a superhero in the contemporary ages and the two have taken it upon themselves to honor their position as much as they can. Regardless, if the Pantheon had several more heroes, hope, villains, and threats to look forward to, what mattered most to Jay and Alan was their duty to be heroes and set an example for those who want to become one. And they'll never stop in what they do.
• Jay and Alan are some of the oldest heroes in their own universe, and by extension, their status as Legacy Characters to notable monikers for years to come ultimately meant that by the time they made their presence known, they were immediately going to have a lot to hold up to. On the bright side of things, this isn't exactly the most challenging or newest thing that Jay and Alan had to deal with, considering that their experience as superheroes has been for a very long time. The Pantheon, on the other hand, was a new experience for them, as Jay and Alan feel as if they've stumbled across what they see as a stagnant crisis, considering the nature of the Forever War between various different factions and grand alliances. Naturally, they were tempted to the side of good, though the two personally admit that while heroics are important and necessary, they would also like to rest and lead comfortable ordinary lives at times. Considering what they've inspired, many feel as if Jay and Alan should be given a right to retire, though they have stated that while such a day is inevitable and that they are trying to live a normal life, even in the Pantheon, it'd be wrong to give up fighting against threats that could be happening at any moment and feel as if they have an obligation to serve the old code of heroics.
• Disregarding Superman, alongside a few others like Captain America and All Might, Alan and Jay tend to be among the closest that the public sees as aspired heroes and those that people are likely to be looking up to. It helps that with their general attitude, reputation, and actions, the very first Flash and Green Lantern have made an effort to meet up and try to communicate with all sorts of heroes including those who did not exist in the DC Multiverse. So far, their efforts have proven to be mostly successful, winning them fans with various heroes who were open to supporting Jay and Alan's contributions and efforts. Jay and Alan aren't really doing this out of popularity, even though they still attracted a massive audience. Jay speculates that those sorts of success only really works if your acts and beliefs are genuine, justifying his and Alan's approach to their heroics.
  • As members of the Justice Society of America, which is essentially the Justice League's direct predecessor, Jay, and Alan have had to deal with their fair share of issues, with one of their greatest enemies being Vandal Savage, considering their decades-long battle with one another. The fact that Savage was also in the Pantheon didn't really faze the two much, but merely focused on the fact that they would need to ready themselves when the time comes. On the other hand, they've also come to see that not many in the Justice Society have found their way into the Pantheon yet, which has prompted Jay and Alan to find a way to lead other heroes with them. This was something that they were able to do in a more effective way than most could, considering that they chose to emphasize on virtue and compassion as a way to motivate any like-minded figures that they could reach out to. In essence, they would like to promote the spirit of the Justice Society in some shape or another, even if Jay and Alan are some of the few members active in the Pantheon.
• Outside of their powers and reputation, Jay and Alan's most notable traits are their beliefs in what makes a hero and how to be one. It's a typical sort of philosophy, albeit one that's more well-known and regarded back in the early-mid 20th century than it is in the contemporary era. Regardless, Jay and Alan haven't given up on abandoning their code, but rather choose to carry on with it and inspire countless others to follow their lead. Incidentally, this is one of the reasons how the two were able to get all along with Statesman, which may be considered a compliment, given how even Superman has trouble trying to get along with him. Although critical, Statesman found Jay and Alan's acts as commendable and hard-working, nature especially considering the number of cosmic-shattering events that they've had to endure, which Statesman has admitted that such a thing is not too common from the world to n which he comes from. As a result, Jay and Alan have served to be a peacekeeper when it comes to Statesman's presence with the members of the Justice League.
  • If there was one benefit that can be considered for the olden ethics that Jay and Alan have, it's that they have a lot of wisdom to impart towards younger heroes and aspiring figures. It's because of this that they've not just become popular with the DC Heroes, but also to those from the Marvel Universe as well as members of the Hero Association, students and teachers of the U.A. Academy and even masked, armored warriors like the Ultramen and the Kamen Riders. Seeing all these sorts of heroes has made Jay and Alan rather impressed, knowing that somehow, their own legacy has persisted to some degree. Out of the younger heroes they've observed, they have cited Spider-Man as one of the best to inherit the mantle of an Ideal Hero right after Superman, especially after learning of the struggles he faces both as a superhero, and in his personal life as Peter Parker. Among others, they've also seen Yusuke Godai and Kouta Kazuraba with great interest as they've more than proven themselves to be great heroes who can carry on with the mantle of what it takes to be a hero. Yusuke and Kouta have appreciated Jay and Alan's compliments since and have taken to looking up to them regarding a few pieces of advice on heroism.
  • They have a few choices of words to have for figures who have good intentions but choose to carry those out in ways that the olden superheroes wouldn't have dared to cross. Learning of Frank Castle, a vigilante whose been in a neverending war against crime after the senseless murder of his family, Jay and Alan do agree that Frank needs to grieve for his loss and has the right to avenge them. However, they also don't condone him for being needlessly violent and uncompromising to anyone he deems a criminal, stating that there is always a chance of redemption if compassion is to be considered. While Frank is not changing his ways, thinking he's come too far in his fight against the criminal underworld, he actually has a measure of respect for Jay and Alan and doesn't bear any ill will towards them. If anything, he's willing to meet up and be civil towards the two heroes, even admitting that Jay and Alan that they remind Frank of Captain America, whom Frank used to idolize back in his childhood and all the way into adulthood. His respect is such that whenever Frank comes across someone who wants to be like him, his response is a blunt never and telling them to take after those who represent heroism the best, such as Captain America, Spider-Man, Superman, Jay Garrick, and Alan Scott.
  • They tend to express dismay and disappointment towards those who willingly choose to abandon their moral code and what made them a hero in the first place. This is also the same for those who use heroism as a coverup to hide more selfish and malicious intents. Three stick out, and those are essentially dark, cynical reflections of Superman; his Regime Counterpart, whom Jay and Alan tend to take pity upon as he was a victim of tragic circumstances and really does want to help the world, even though he's become too megalomaniacal and caustic to really take criticism nor reason with others. Homelander and the Plutonian are far less sympathetic; the former is a raving Narcissist using a superhero front and wants to latch on to the mantle of being the world's greatest superhero, despite consistently showcasing himself to be insanely immature and reckless and the latter was only a hero for the sake of adoration who then turned to villainy when that wasn't fully working out and wholly embraced being a deranged, merciless destroyer. Jay and Alan clearly did not like how supremely selfish they were and have condemned them for their acts of villainy, as well as making as many attempts possible to stop them in case they were to take action. Oddly enough, Homelander does sometimes express some remorse for his actions, though they tend to be sporadic as he would sometimes state that he takes pride in his actions. As for the Plutonian, he takes absolute satisfaction in his actions and sees Jay and Alan as simply another pair of pests he'll deal with in an upcoming rampage.
• Of course, with the new rise of heroes to meet and aspire in the Pantheon, Jay and Alan also have to contend with an ever-growing presence of criminals, supervillains, and other evil-doers. One of their more notable new enemies is Lord Recluse who, like them, was also a man of the early 20th Century, though he resorted to playing his route using his god-gifted mind and reigning supreme in the supervillain industry by taking over and reworking a mafia organization into a supervillain nation and maintaining it for a full century. Despite being completely open to his reputation as a villain, Lord Recluse personally sees Jay and Alan as a notable challenge worth commending towards and mainly fights them as a way to reciprocate his respect, though he's not above killing them if necessary. They've also had to contend against galactic threats such as Frieza and Evolto, considering both of them have already established themselves as dire foes for the Green Lantern Corps in the Pantheon. Incidentally, their enmity against Frieza has led to Jay and Alan becoming familiar with Son Goku and becoming good comrades with one another thanks to Goku's dedication to his family, friends, and defending his universe, though his obsessive desire for good fights has been a point of annoyance for the two heroes.
• In spite of their legacy, they were mysteriously absent after Barry Allen was involved in an alternate universe that he inadvertently created and the aftermath of his story led to the creation of a new timeline where Jay and Alan didn't get to contribute to the historical impact of The Flash and Green Lantern. This, however, was the doing of Doctor Manhattan, who turns out, was responsible for killing Alan in the train crash where he first became the Green Lantern and had Jay imprisoned in the Speed Force for an indefinite amount of time, in addition to having created the new universe during the time when Barry tried to stop a past version of himself from saving his mother, which was what created the Flashpoint timeline, to begin with. Now with Manhattan having come to finding appreciation towards life again, thanks to Superman and undoing all the damage that he inflicted beforehand, this hasn't stopped his relationship with Jay and Alan from being really awkward at best. They're understandably hesitant in approaching Jon Osterman as he was responsible for making them suffer and are aware that they're no match for him. Jon, on the other hand, is open to the idea of conversing with them for a normal interaction and is interested to learn about why Jay and Alan were looked up to, just like Superman was. It's been a slow process, but Jay and Alan are steadily managing to have some talks with Jon, which has helped Manhattan to become more socially adjusted.
• A notable reminder of their venerability; the two of them have fought in World War II, though that can sometimes depend on which iteration of Jay and Alan are accounted for. Regardless, a number of individuals who fought during the war, such as Easy Company and Charlie Company are willing to invite the two over for an occasional hangout as well as recounting their stories. These have helped the two soldier companies as Jay and Alan's stories have come off as inspiring for them, if mainly as a way to demonstrate a sense of wonder, hope, and optimism, as well as being a fable of sorts towards the young and impressionable. They also found good companionship with a girl named Izetta, who was a witch that was enlisted in World War II and had to combat against another one of her kind, Sophie, who went on to serve with the Nazis. Alan was able to quickly bond with Izetta for their unconventional powers during a time when the approach towards superpowers was fairly basic and Izetta was keen on learning how to better her performance in magic. And of course, Jay and Alan found great camaraderie with Steve Rogers, as well as facing heavy opposition via the Red Skull, Johann Schmidt, whom the two quickly saw as being even worse than Hitler regarding his desires and end-goal, not to mention the fact that Schmidt has been playing a heavy role in the presence of Nazism in the Pantheon, as well as providing a further corrupting influence towards Sophie.
• Emphasis on Jay
  • The Flash Family has nothing but outright admiration for Jay, which doesn't come off as a surprise. That said, even when Barry is the most notable of the speedsters, he admits that it is Jay's stories and exploits that have shaped him into the hero that he is for Central City. That said, Jay has been feeling rather despondent over the fact that he doesn't get to contribute as much for the Flash Family as he would like to, especially considering the amount of multiverse-threatening threats that he's gotten himself involved in, voluntarily or not. However, the Pantheon and its nature have proven to offer a different opportunity than his home universe would offer, and Jay isn't going to be letting go of that prospect any sooner. Whether he's a teacher for heroes or he's on active duty as one, Jay Garrick is surely going to be upholding his position as The Flash in some capacity.
    • Like all of the other members of his family, he doesn't like Eobard Thawne, though it should be noted that Jay has the least personal relationship with the Reverse-Flash. This, however, did not stop Eobard from enacting on one of his pointlessly malicious comments, such as that one time where we went to Jay on a blur, just for the sole intent of telling him that he would be forgotten. It did affect Jay considerably, but he's since found a way to motivate himself. Unlike most of the other individuals who've inherited the mantle of The Flash, Jay simply treats Thawne as a dangerous threat that he needs to deal with, though he's not above calling him out on his horrendous acts, be it either in their world or in the Pantheon, though the Reverse-Flash is too focused on Barry to really care much for what Jay has to say against him.
  • In his spare time, Jay has a few side hobbies that he's picked up from school and college. For one, he's a talented football player and, as a sign of sportsmanship, is eager to visit the House of Sports every now and then to play with visitors, mortals, and Pantheonic representatives under his civilian identity, even signing himself up to be a football coach as a means to reach out and personally aid the other players in morale and strategy, a job that has him make some considerable money as well as helping him maintain his physical prime. He also has a strong fascination for science and takes visitations in the House of Science to conduct experiments and research on his excelling field, as well as studying about the Speed Force, its functional use, and it's nature of existence in the Pantheon and the DC Universe. He's been pretty good friends with the Philanthropists of Benevolent Science and often helping them out either professionally as a hero or personally as a science student whilst also keeping an eye out for evil scientists, especially considering that his own Arch-Enemy, The Rival was a chemistry teacher who wanted to prove himself better than Jay whilst being an adversary. Currently, The Evolutionists of Mad Science and a select few others, such as The Maker are on the top of his watchlist.
  • Jay is famous for being easily among the most respectable and applauded heroes in his universe, and that reputation does not deter whatsoever in the Pantheon. Just how much is he looked up to? Batman, of all people is willing to call him "sir", which really emphasizes Jay's reputation as a paragon. Of course, the fact that he's every bit as polite, encouraging, and supportive has also helped in that case, though Jay does feel upset at times at having to see certain figures who have ended up falling from grace and/or turned away from heroism in favor of villainy. He's had a lot of moments where he's attempted to reason with villains and convince them to be better than they currently are. While most of them are unsuccessful, some of Jay's antagonists eventually came to respect his humble behavior and are willing to treat him affably more often than not. Even so, Jay knows exactly who he can reach out to and which of his enemies are too far gone for the idea of potential, and while he may be a supportive, borderline-paternal figure, he is not afraid of having to get dangerous when faced with someone who could pose a serious threat on a grand scale.
• Emphasis on Alan
  • While Alan is an oddity for his moniker, as in he isn't even a member of the Green Lantern Corps despite being the very first^note that is chronologically known to the Pantheon's masses, at the very least, he's been a constant ally and a source of aspiration for the Corps anyway, with Hal Jordan and Kyle Rayner being among the most complimentary. Considering the fact that Alan had to entrust Kyle to carry on the Green Lantern's legacy whilst fighting against an omnicidal Hal, who, during that time, went by Parallax, there was a reason why he's been a strong presence for the two. On an additional note, as a demonstration for how his willpower and determination is seen as noteworthy, it's said that Alan Scott wrote the book on willpower, a fact that's pretty much become common knowledge for anyone on the "Valor" side of the House of Dread and Valor.
  • While Alan has proven himself to be a hero consistently, there was one major character flaw that he's had for years; he is homophobic and thus, has a very difficult time in trying to understand why some people are passionate about topics regarding the LGBTQ. He's done a great deal to hide this information, knowing that public knowledge of it would not bode well for him, but the situation becomes even more complicated when Alan discovered that he himself was also gay, something that he had a lot of trouble in having to accept and express about. Though eventually, he confessed his sexuality to his children, who were quick to accept him for what he is. They've been encouraging Alan to make visitations to the Hall of Romantic Orientation and hopefully immerse himself. He has been trying this, though it's proven to be a lot more difficult than it appears to be. Alan has made a bit of a decent impression with a few deities there, such as Nico di Angelo, Hasta, Lexa, and came to find a Commonality Connection with Juzo Sakakura as he also was someone who had a lot of difficulty in his sexuality due to his own uneasiness in being gay. Of course, he dislikes Bambi "Buck" Hughes for obvious reasons and has made it clear that any ill intent he sees will result in Alan swiftly taking action in beating and subduing Buck to whatever authority he can come across.
  • In his spare time, Alan serves as the head of a communications company known as the Apex Broadcasting Company where he took to working under several roles, such as radio engineer, announcer, and design architect before having enough experience to step up for the role of the company's presidency, and given that he is mainly based in Gotham City, he has a significant influence there as he heads several of its broadcasting stations. This occupation was bought along with him to the Pantheon, where Alan had to sign a contract with the House of Jobs and Profession in an effort to have the Apex Broadcasting Company established, albeit only in a few select Houses due to the morally complex nature of the Pantheon's structuring regarding the Houses. Some of the more prominent places the Apex Broadcasting Company has been housed in include the Houses of Heroism, Craft, Commerce, Theatre and Spectacle, and Musicality. This sign of gesture has benefitted greatly for those who work under investigative journalism as well as entertainment media as it means that their works can be broadcasted under Alan's jurisdiction, and he is more than willing to allow a lot of people to have their work and content publicized for viewing.
  • Despite his extraordinary powers, Alan has a weakness to… wood, of all things. The sheer absurdity to this knowledge is further compounded by the fact that no one really knows what makes Alan's Green Lantern powers so susceptible to anything that is made out of wood. That said, while Alan does feel embarrassed by this information and tries to find ways to avoid dwelling on it as a topic, he also tries to make sure he takes his fights as far away as possible regarding wooden structures and woodlands. He would like to make it clear that he, in any way doesn't oppose the Houses of Nature and Plants and would actually rather defend them if given the chance, but his weakness means that Alan can't really be there either, which has annoyed him to no end. He's currently seeking a way to overcome this weakness, though progress has been quite slow. But then again, his determination and willpower may help him succeed after all.

"In my day we used to set our egos aside and cooperate. It made the job easier."

• Sara Pezzini was born November 18, 1970, and is of Italian descent. She had wanted nothing more in her life than to be a good cop. As a homicide detective in New York City, life was challenging enough, but for Sara, those were simpler times. While on an undercover case at the Rialto Theater, both she and her partner, Michael Yee, were mortally wounded. While Sara lay dying, the Witchblade, a conscious, ancient weapon, made his choice to include her in the long line of women that he had shared his power with. The weapon healed Sara's wounds and allowed her to survive the resulting confrontation. Since then, she had seen many things she never knew existed, fought creatures that had no place on Earth, and longed for the days of a typical NYPD detective. But she continued her struggle with the Witchblade, believing that she could do more good with the entity than without. So the battle for control continued, as Sara learned more about the weapon and struggled to stem his violent nature.
• Having teamed up with numerous heroes over the course of her career, many of the gods in the Pantheon supported her ascension, citing her as the ideal wielder and protector of the Witchblade. Upon ascending, Sara was greeted by large gathering of her allies, who happily welcomed her into her temple.
• Sara was pleasantly surprised to meet several former Witchblade wielders such as Scáthach, Cleopatra, Jeanne d'Arc and Florence Nightingale. Each of them expressed approval of their successor and have occasionally assisted her in battle.
• She was quite happy to be reunited with her fellow female warriors such as Lara Croft, Vampirella and Red Sonja, whom she is often seen with either adventuring, fighting enemies or just hanging out in general. Onlookers have remarked that Sara's relationship with them doesn't seem entirely platonic, which neither Sara nor the other women have completely denied.
• Sara had a heartfelt reunion with Wolverine, as the two had previously teamed up on several occasions and were even briefly married in Las Vegas. She was also happy to see Elektra, having last seen her when they fought against Mephisto. When she discovered that Mephisto was also present in the Pantheon and was still interested in getting her soul, Sara once more teamed up with Wolverine and Elektra in order to beat him, which has resulted in him leaving her alone for the time being.
• Sara was also happy to be reunited with her old friend Barbara Gordon, and was surprised to learn that she had returned to being Batgirl since they last saw each other. She also had a pleasant reunion with the Justice League, specifically Wonder Woman, Superman, Martian Manhunter, Batman, Aquaman, Plastic Man, Green Lantern, The Flash and Steel, although she also apologized about how, in their previous meeting, the Witchblade had possessed Oracle, Huntress and Wonder Woman in order to find the most powerful woman in the direct vicinity, which they quickly accepted. She also managed to bond with Blue Beetle, as he similarly wears sentient alien armor that he tries to keep under control. The two are regularly seen sparring together. However, her association with the Justice League also drew the attention of Lex Luthor, who had previously teamed up with her archenemy Kenneth Irons in order to acquire the Witchblade. Sara was quick to draw comparisons between Luthor and Irons, which Lex does not appreciate as he and Irons had a falling out and cut all ties with each other after failing to acquire the Witchblade.
• She gets along well with fellow heroes Spawn and Invincible, having notably teamed up with them during the Invincible War against an invasion of evil alternate versions of Invincible. Although she was beaten badly during the conflict, she remains on good terms with Invincible himself.
• Having served as an officer in the NYPD, a private investigator in Chicago and finally as the sheriff of a small town in upstate New York, Sara gets along quite well with her fellow police officers and detectives in the Pantheon. She quickly managed to befriend Jim Gordon, whose long history of working with superheroes and friendship with Sara's father resulted in him having no problem with her wielding the Witchblade. She also managed to bond with Adrian Monk due to how he is similarly a former cop who became a private investigator. She also became allies with Anthony Chu, who is also a cop who uses his powers to solve crimes.
• She is on good terms with the Gargoyle Goliath, who similarly protects New York. He has remarked that Sara reminds him of Elisa Maza, a police woman herself.
• She and the Punisher tend to be awkward around each other, having originally fought one another during their first meeting, which concluded with them going their separate ways and letting each other continue their respective business. As a result, they prefer to just stay out of each other's way.
• Sara was heavily dismayed to learn that two different versions of Tiamat were present in the Pantheon, as she had previously fought against Tiamat in her own world, who sought revenge due to having been previously sealed away by previous Witchblade and Angelus wielders. She has since periodically battled against both of them.
• She was also annoyed to discover that Dracula and Mr. Hyde was in the Pantheon as well, having previously teamed up with Jackie Estacado, Lara Crost and the Magdalena in order to stop them from unleashing an interdimensional invasion of cosmic horrors to take over the world. She has occasionally fought against them whenever they started causing trouble.
• Having dealt with both Predators and Xenomorphs on several occasions, Sara has gained the respect of the Predator known as Scarface. As a result, she has occasionally teamed up with him in order to deal with Xenomorphs.
• Sara is particularly wary of evil people who come after her in order to acquire the Witchblade. She was disturbed to learn that the psychotic Nui Harime was given the dark half of the Witchblade after it was stolen from the Armory by the GUAE. Fortunately, Satsuki and Ryuko were able to retrieve the Dark Witchblade from Nui after the object took control over her and went on a rampage. Similarly, the fallen angel Raynare had sought out the artifact to take her vengeance against Issei and the other Occult Club members, but was deemed unworthy and had her hand sliced off instead. Sara periodically has to fight off both Nui and Raynare's attempts to try and take the Witchblade from her.

• Before Tatsuya Suou, Maya Amano, and their friends became Persona-users, there were these teens from St. Hermelin High. As for who they are and how they got involved with saving the world, it all started when SEBEC under Takehisa Kandori built the DEVA System and... well, go play it yourself or look for a playthrough. The plot's pretty complicated. A cursed mask of a Snow Queen character may or may not be involved.
• As for the trope they're ascending for, it's something rather... infamous for their game: Bad Export for You. Why? Because the first American localization of what would be known as Revelations: Persona went down in gaming history as a textbook case of how not to localize a title. ^{All the flaws}The characters were all (save Yuki(no)) localized into Americans (and a lot of Race Lifts), all the spells and demons were given generic RPG-sounding names, encounters were made easier and toned down (but the rewards weren't increased to compensate), removal of the Snow Queen Quest, and most of the translation didn't even make sense.
  • Despite how demeaning this would be, Philemon accepted these terms, and thus every single Player Character Persona-user is now in the Pantheon, save for the post-core additions to the the Phantom Thieves of Hearts—until even they ascended via gtting their own places within the collective Thieves Den.
• Applies to all or some of them:
  • Due to their title, they at times take the appearances they assume both in their original story, the sequel (if they were present there), or even the original "American" localization, which none of them are too proud of. Still, inspired by the Phantom Thieves' core concept of using disguises and code names, the group have found use for their Revelations identities as a sort of special-purpose gimmick to more easily avoid unnecessary battles OR strengthen their Personas off the back of fights they can't avoid. This especially comes in handy in the cognitive dimensions encountered by some of their successors, such as Mementos or the TV World. While Yukino was thankfully spared much Americanzation, she can still match with the others using the glossier version of her uniform from the PS1 art.
  • Besides Philemon and Igor, greeting them in the ascension ceremony were all the Persona-users who have succeeded them, and it was a grand event.
  • Unlike the Persona-users after the ones from Sumaru City, who all (or mostly) apart from the Wild Card have just one Persona (that can evolve), all of them can take on multiple Personas, not just their team leader, and can swap and exchange them mid-battle. On the flip side, they have affinities to watch out for, which limits which Personas they can take on depending on their Arcanas. Also, SP cost is dependent solely on their Persona, no matter what skill is used.
    • That said, unlike the ones from Sumaru City, save for the ones who participated in the events there, (which excludes only the Protagonist, Masao, and Ayase), Personas can't be swapped between each other unless it's at the Velvet Room. Instead, each of them has a Persona Stock of three (including their current one)... which is incidentally what Philemon arranged for Tatsuya and Maya and their friends for when they're separated. For here, he made a caveat for the St. Hermelin High students when it comes to their pseudo-"Wild Card"s; their Stocks are shared when they're together, though not when in battle.
    • That said, due to how different Personas are between universes, party Persona Stocks are separated by games of origin, thus disallowing Persona swapping with the Fool Arcana Wild Cards. As for those from Sumaru City, those who have been in both parties (Yukino, Elly, and Nanjo) can serve as "intermediaries"^*For example, the only way for Mark to transfer a Persona to Katsuya is for the former to send it to Elly, who in turn will send it to the latter.
    • Unlike S.E.E.S. onward, their (and the Sumaru City group's) Ultimate Personas have to be fused at the Velvet Room, and a special item has to be added to the process. They're also "returnable" for other items, in which Igor will inform them that the Totems needed to fuse their Ultimate Personas again will be provided by Philemon. That said, to curb abuse of this system, after a Totem is accepted from him, he will not offer it again until after one full year in the Pantheon has passed.
    • Just like the Phantom Thieves of Hearts, these Persona-users normally wield two weapons of choice; a "traditional" RPG weapon, and a firearm. Unlike the Phantoms however, their guns are real, and so they also make purchases from Marcus Kincaid's vending machines and Drebin 893. In the event any of them enter the Metaverse, Ren decided to inform them that bullets are unnecessary in that dimension due to Cognition, though some might do so anyway if their bullets can inflict status effects.
    • One thing that has surprised the students however is that their Personas' Dia (and Recarm) skills work on anybody, not just other Persona-users, since that doesn't occur in their world. Everyone after them never realized that since they never really thought of it (and since back in the mortal realm, for S.E.E.S. onwards, Personas can't even be summoned period except in specific dimensions or via an Evoker).
  • Another thing that was brought to their attention is the TV World and its potential to bestow Personas to "clients" who traverse its dungeons (with the Investigation Team, of course) and confront their Shadow. It's somewhat amusing that there is a fixed method now to acquiring a Persona, which may occur after defeating the Shadow and accepting it.
    • That said, only those who came from the worlds under the watch of Philemon and Igor can summon Personas in the Pantheon proper rather than being limited to specific areas, not only to maintain the delicate balance of the Pantheon, but also to prevent the events of Innocent Sin from repeating themselves in the Pantheon.
  • Are no strangers to fighting non-Persona-using humans, whereas S.E.E.S., the Investigation Team, and the Phantom Thieves of Hearts only got used to it after ascension to the Pantheon (unless one counts Labrys and Sho Minazuki prior to them getting their own Personas).
  • They have seen Philemon's entire face behind the mask before Tatsuya, but according to them, he looked like a middle-aged man. Of course, given Philemon's nature, he could look like anyone he wants.
  • Taking the same plan-thinking roles as Kirk, Spock, and McCoy, Naoya, Nanjo, and Mark take on similar decision types and get along with each of their counterparts (and the latter two have already been in the Pantheon for a while as their followers).
  • It's not known how exactly the Snow Queen Quest and the conflict against SEBEC occurred at the same timeframe given that players never get to see that in their playthroughs.
  • After the entire Snow Queen business, everyone (with the exception of Mark, Maki, and Reiji, who weren't present for the whole thing) is wary of those who can freeze a building in seconds.
    • Reality Warpers, be it a device or an entity, are another thing they exercise caution and wariness around, given Kandori's plot.
    • They also don't like those who desire to become God like Kandori did, especially since they saw that it won't be satisfying for them either in the end.
    • Don't forget possessors, since Kandori fell victim to this by his at-the-time Persona Nyarlathotep.
  • May have encountered Yog-Sothoth in a subway. The Elder God's not confirming if they did.
  • Are naturally in opposition of Nyarlathotep due to being The Man Behind the Man for Kandori, even if he allows them to take him on as a Persona should they wish to.
  • They (specifically those involved in the Snow Queen Quest) aren't sure what to think of Nemesis. On one hand, she served as a Persona of one of their foes (though the goddess does admit to clerical errors in that regard). On the other, she also lent her power to one of S.E.E.S.'s members.
    • And with their endeavors at Nemesis Tower, they also hold torturers in especially low regard. Not to mention haughty folks who get by via constant bribing and have the gall to play themselves as the victim in their situation.
  • Preserving one's own beauty by casting off their life is one thing. Using the lives of others to do that (like Mother Gothel) is another. And committing genocide to preserve a world's beauty (like Lysandre) is a whole other kind of twisted. As such, thanks to their experiences in Thanatos Tower, the Snow Queen Quest participants, especially Brown and Ayase, despise such people.
    • Speaking of Thanatos, they were certainly surprised with how different he looked, and that he also did time as Minato and Kotone's Persona. That said, given how varied Thanatos himself is due to the nature of his title...
  • They also pity those who would rather keep dreaming rather than live in the waking world. But to force others into that too is less excusable.
  • Having actually fought off Nyx near the end of the Snow Queen Quest, they are certainly somewhat closer with S.E.E.S. since they eventually did the same. That said, the titaness had to remind them that she isn't the same as the one they fought.
  • While only two thirds of them were present in Sumaru City to fight off Nazis, their atrocities and desire to build a twisted new world order taught all of them that people/cults like them are nothing but bad news.
  • Of course, like every SMT hero, they've been updated on the fact that YHVH and Lucifer were bad news.
  • Were immediately cautious upon encountering Carrie given they (or at least the SEBEC Route participants) encountered her (or more specifically a demon version of her, just like how it is with SMT!Alice) multiple times over the course of their journey. The confusion was quickly cleared up before long.
• Exclusive to the Protagonist:
  • While he has at least three "canon" names, out of convenience, and just like with Kotone Shiomi, he is usually addressed by his manga name Naoya Toudou.
  • Tends to get sidetracked with other stuff when going between Point A to Point B, something his friends take note of.
  • Major traits of the Emperor Arcana include excelling as a leader, wisdom, and fatherly/brotherly behavior. Out of all the Persona-users under this Arcana, some find it amusing that only Naoya embodies these traits better than those after him (Akihiko, Kanji, and Yusuke).
  • Already deciding that Nyarlathotep was bad news, Ra has offered Naoya his assistance should he need it.
  • To this day, he's not telling where he went or what he was doing during the events of Persona 2.
• Exclusive to Maki:
  • While it was actually her Ideal self that fought alongside her classmates, Philemon decided that her strength, progress, and bow proficiency will be transferred so that she's more able to keep up with the others.
  • She was already in the Pantheon as the High Priestess (just like her Arcana) of the Cutie Mark Crusaders due to her entire story arc, and she still keeps in touch with them. She admits it was... something else when she found out that they became Persona-users too, even if it's limited in terms of summoning allowances compared to everyone else.
  • To make up for what she inadvertently caused from the DEVA System using her subconscious to wreak such havoc, she became a therapist. As such, she also helps out Dr. Frasier Crane from time to time, and doesn't like Dr. Angus Bumby for making people worse off and vulnerable to his manipulations.
  • She's also a pretty good artist, which caught the attention of Yusuke, who appreciates her talent.
  • Jun is also someone she's familiar with, having (possibly) handed him his ultimate weapon (even if it was just a flower).
  • As someone who also practices archery and is primarily a healer, Maki gets along and primarily practises with Yukari.
• Exclusive to Nanjo:
  • In his younger days, he used to be pretty cold, and willing to do the logical thing, even if it was crude, even if it means letting someone die. However, his incognito tenure as a salaryman at a Nanjo Group salaryman after graduation have slowly mellowed him out, as the Sumaru City Eternal Punishment party can attest to. Mark, who has often argued with him back in their high school days, is honestly surprised with this change.
    • Having witnessed the cruelties of the business world during his "undercover" tenure, Nanjo has dedicated himself not to be like the corrupt businessmen in the Pantheon such as Mr. Burns and Looten Plunder.
  • Has a profound respect for Alfred Pennyworth for his dedication to his master and being an essential person in Bruce Wayne's upbringing.
  • Has no patience for snobs who think they're superior to those with less money/prestige and think it's a waste of time to learn the "lesser customs". When Nanjo went to St. Hermelin, it was to know and learn from the people he'd be "ruling over", because he knew that would be important for his future.
  • He also refuses to curry favor with those stronger than him.
  • Most Persona-users' Ultimate Personas usually take the form of all sorts of powerful mythological deities such as Amen-Ra, Apollo, Izanagi-no-Okami, etc. (or at least highly influential religious figures such as Messiah or Satanael). Kei's takes the form of his late butler Yamaoka, who raised him since infancy, and was essentially his parental figure, moreso than his birth parents. Some find that peculiar and pitiful, and others find it heartwarming and awesome in that Yamaoka continues to look after his master even in the afterlife and is capable of keeping up with the other Ultimate Personas.
  • It is not known if the Nanjo Group from Persona 3 onward is the same as the one in Persona 2 and before it, but given that it is business partners with the Kirijo Group, which used to be part of them before splitting off, Kei decided an official alliance with Mitsuru would be for the best, and she agreed to it.
    • That said, he's a little annoyed that she flaunts her wealth on behalf of Gekkoukan High and S.E.E.S. and finds it a little irresponsible; by contrast, when Yamaoka awaited him outside the school and offered a ride in the limo for him and his friends (to the hospital for a check-up and to visit Maki), Kei had been embarrassed by this prospect and preferred to walk. Then again, given the circumstances, it was likely that he never really got a chance to back then; all he had access to when demons started attacking were what he and his friends carried. He's certainly did more with it as a young adult, though.
  • As the child of a rich company yet personable with those of lower stature, he's also come to appreciate Haru Okumura's company, though is saddened that she won't be taking over her company after her father died.
    • Come to think of it, between them and him, they all lost a father (figure in Nanjo's case) in supernatural events.
  • Out of those from Sumaru City, he enjoyed Baofu's company as they debated over baseball teams. Even if it was Kei who discovered Baofu's real name on behalf of Katsuya.
• Exclusive to Mark:
  • Some people wonder why he brought an axe to school with him right before SEBEC enacted its plan. Some say it was meant to be interpreted as him grabbing an emergency fire axe from the hospital when the demons first attacked the group.
  • Is a talented artist, even if he started with graffiti on the walls in his early years. Ever since his art school education at New York, he's certainly gotten better and knows how to use other art tools, though the street art style remains, and it's received critical acclaim.
    • Even back as a graffiti artist, he doesn't have any real issues against cops; he knows they are only looking out for him. Well, the ones that actually are, that is.
  • Aside from both of them being under the same Arcana, Mark and Chie share the same determination in saving their closest friend no matter what (Maki and Yukiko).
  • He also connected with Ryuji over being occasionally derided by their smarter companions as well as both having been handed monkey-related insults at some point (as well as the same Chariot Arcana connection).
  • With his talent for art, he also garnered the respect of Yusuke. It also helps that the Starving Artist has also become friends with Maki.
  • Yes, he would "dance crazy" to negotiate with demons or when it is time for dancing, but he's not doing it just because you ask.
  • For some reason, whenever Abridged!Asuna encounters him, she always greets him with black racist comments. Even if he isn't black at the time. It's both confusing and annoying to both of them.
  • No, the fact that his surname is the same name as the town the Investigation Team live in (Inaba) is just a coincidence. Stop asking. Besides, it's also in the name of a certain trickster hare.
  • Had an encounter with Susano-o in the Velvet Room, who "remembered" having helped him before against Kandori (and Nyarlathotep tangentially). Mark also finds it strange that Susano-o has lent his aid to two other Persona-users since then, and it had been a very weird meeting. Yosuke had that feeling too when he first met Yusuke.
• Exclusive to Yukino:
  • Works as a freelance photographer alongside Maya when she's not with her alumni, and eventually got to meet her colleagues like Lois Lane, Jade, Frank West, Aya Shameimaru, Tamie Nogi, and their boss Jonah Jameson.
  • After hearing of Ryuji's backstory, she realized that it was a lot like that of her friend Anna Yoshizawa, who was a similarly disgraced and career-ending injured track athlete.
  • Likes ballet, particularly The Nutcracker.
• Exclusive to Elly:
  • As soon as she was able to (which was after the establishment of their temple), Elly wasted no time getting herself acquainted with everything the Pantheon has to offer, particularly the Houses of Magic and Otherness, fascinated by all the supernatural and strange things that happen all the time in the Pantheon. She was also the first of them to be revived at the House of Life and Death given that her fascination also clouds her sense of danger, especially when her exploration ended by way of getting petrified by Medusa.
  • As someone who shares her love of fortune telling and ghost stories, Elly was glad to meet Ulala again.
  • Despite her otaku level knowledge of the occult, it's only effective for the knowledge she has beforehand. As evidenced in her mission at Sumaru TV: Once a twist on a spell is utilized, she can get stumped easily without help from one who can see the problem another way.
  • When she isn't hanging with her alumni or other occult fans, Elly works part time as a model and thus gets along with the deities in the fashion industry. She also occasionally moonlights as an Occult Detective.
    • Besides fellow Persona-user Ann, Elly also got acquainted with Marinette and Adrien and their... unique love situation. On one hand, she wants to encourage Marinette to truly confess her feelings before the chance is missed like Elly felt it had been for herself before their reunion. On the other hand, the whole superhero secret identity deal makes that complicated and the "Heroes Day" event showed why that could be a bad idea.
• Exclusive to Brown:
  • His nickname doesn't refer to the color of his hair, but actually to a bowel movement accident he had in school as a child.
  • Despite his narcissistic attitude and his penchant for jokes, he's true to his companions, won't tolerate any insults or suffering on them, and takes things seriously when that happens.
  • When he isn't hanging with his alumni, mostly Yuka or Masao, he's at the House of Theater entertaining as a variety show host and comedian. There's certainly more competition, but he's not going to be deterred.
  • The Investigation Team remember meeting a Uesugi among Kanamin Kitchen, and her surname even has the same kanji as his. It is unknown if the two characters are related or if this is a mere coincidence.
• Exclusive to Ayase:
  • When it comes to whip combat, she doesn't prioritize on its lash being powerful but more on being able to inflict Status Effects. And Yuka can maximize this potential by being able to strike multiple targets at once (if they're clustered close enough). The only other whip-using Persona-user can only do this on certain situations.
  • Unlike others of the Magician Arcana (Junpei, Yosuke, and Morgana), Yuka doesn't seem to have any love tragedy in her life (unless you count that of her own making with Toro).
  • None of those involved in the Snow Queen Quest were happy to see Mara in the Pantheon, but this goes double for Yuka, since Mara served as the "Persona" of someone she dumped and who retaliated violently. Mara that time also happened to burst out of his stomach as a gigantic, fanged, penile worm to attack them. It wasn't that traumatic since that was when she awakened her Persona, but still.
  • May or may not have some experience with cooking, specifically apple pies and other snacks.
• Exclusive to Reiji:
  • Is proficient in the art of prestidigitation (a.k.a. magic tricks), particularly with playing cards, and is very impressive with it. He doesn't really have plans to make a profession out of it, though.
  • Despite Akechi's actions, Reiji isn't as contemptuous of him like everyone else since he knows what it's like, given he was also a bastard with hostile issues and a plan of vengeance against a legitimate relative (though in Reiji's case, it was with his brother Kandori).
    • And holding vengeance in his heart for years on end on someone responsible for harm against one's mother's is also why he also understands the young Ken.
    • That said, he's well aware that his vengeance had been on the wrong target, but since his father already died by then, he turned his sights on the next of kin.
  • When he isn't hanging with his alumni, he works as a door-to-door knife merchant, though didn't get much success due to his Persona's intimidating aura. That said, he's somewhat more successful here since most folks in the Pantheon are made of tougher stuff.
    • That said, given a fair number of evil knife nuts in the Pantheon exist, he tries not to get involved with such people when he can. And if they try to steal his wares, he can sic Bres/Mot/whatever Persona he has on them. And if they can take him on still, why do they even need knives from him in the first place?
    • One of his sales took him to the Doki Doki Literature Club's temple, where Yuri made a purchase, although she was disappointed that there were no ornate knives in his collection. While undeterred given his experiences, he could tell there's something a tad unsettling about her.
  • Once took part in a group picture with Kanji, Shinjiro, and Eikichi. None of them have been particularly loose-lipped with how they met and befriended each other.
  • Although he prefers to avoid summoning him, Reiji has shown himself to be capable of summoning Nyarlathotep himself as a controllable Persona much to the Crawling Chaos' chagrin. The others speculate it's likely due to his connection to Kandori, whom Nyarlathotep possessed and manipulated. Though Reiji's elected only to summon Nyarlathotep should the situation absolutely require it.

• Conflicting Opinion: Demitri Maximoff
• In a world where humans, elves, fairies, beastmen, monsters, spirits, angels, demons, and all sorts of fantasy creatures exist, this melting pot of sentient creatures live together in harmony. As such, this wonderful world abound with diversity is, naturally, abound with a diverse selection of brothels. These myriad brothels and the girls who work there, succu-girls, are reviewed by a group of brave adventurers! They are... the Interspecies Reviewers!
• Due to the Hotter and Sexier nature of the anime when compared to its original source material, the series during the season it was broadcast outright dropped early in its run for its very risqué presentation all over the world, with large and well-known distributors removing it from the broadcasting schedule. However, all of this controversy of this over the nature of this series had led to the Streisand Effect coming into full effect and making the series more popular than it could have ever been without its cancelation, leading to the Courts of the Gods seeing what all of this fuzz was all and about, and after being informed of the situation at hand, it was decided that this was the perfect opportunity to fill in one of the more broad positions in the Pantheon.
• One day, an unfamiliar figure in strange robes gave Stunk, Zel, and Crim an invitation with instructions before disappearing without a trace. Thinking that this was an invite to a new brothel in town, the trio followed the instructions to the letter, but instead of a new brothel, found themselves in the Pantheon, having officially ascended as Gods.
• One of the first things one will notice is that their theme song is suspiciously similar to the YMCA song by the Village People. Surprisingly enough, despite each group possessing opposite gender attraction, the two groups have recently joined together to create a killer collaboration song.
  Kyu Sugardust: Dude, this is what happens when the class weeb and that one gay dude become best friends for life.
• Having frequent and regular sexual encounters with monster girl prostitutes in their world, the trio has earned the friendship and alliance of many, while gaining the scorn of others:
  • Thanks to being considerate, non-abusive lovers of monster girls, the Interspecies Reviewers have become good friends with Alice, her husband, Luka, Kimihito Kurusu, and his fiancees. They are frequently surprised by the trios' knowledge about various monster girls and are very happy that they are doing much to clear up any misunderstanding between multiple races. They are also glad that they are capable of dialing down their perverted tendencies around their friends and family.
  • Many sexually confident and inclined deities (such as Morrigan and Lilith, Issei Hyodo, and Kyu Sugurdust) find it impressive that they've managed to push the boundaries of graphic content to the next level. Some of them are even looking over the reviews they have written to see if any of the succi-girls might fit their tastes.
  Morrigan: (sighing) So many lovely choices to pick from, so little time...
  • Though lewd and horny as they come, it must be noted that they are all fundamentally good people and are very opposed to any forms of sexual assaults, like the kind Gregor Clegane frequently engages in.
    • Given the dangerous extremes the Lord of Pleasure represents with its unrestrained lust, pleasure, and indulging, the Interspecies Reviewers stay the fuck away from Slaanesh as much as they can, showing great worry on what would happen if the cruel Chaos God would ever gain a foot hold in their world... something Slaanesh has admitted to being interested in on more than one occasion.
  • Monster hunters - malicious or not - such as Alexander Anderson and Hoss Delgado finds them detestable for how willingly and happily screwing monsters on a regular basis, seeing them as just plain disgusting. However, UNLIKE most perverts, they can fight off their any attempts at trying to bring harm to them.
  • Cheems is disgusted and enraged by the very presence of the Reviewers, seeing them as the very embodiment of perversion, and does not hesitate to attack them when they are in range... only to get smacked away quite easily by the target at the time.
  • As a "true" god fearing man, Frollo finds the Reviewers in particular some of the more disgusting deities in the Pantheon due to being people openly embracing their lust by constantly going to brothels of all kinds as a career, never mind how he has lust problems himself. Unlike the judge, they each fully see Frollo's self-contradicting nature and Stunk constantly says this whenever they meet:
  Stunk: Dude, You Need to Get Laid. Like, right now.
  • The group as a whole despises the very presence of Jack the Ripper, whatever he/she was in their lifetime, as they explicitly targeted prostitutes in a terrible way. Obviously, the reviewers finds them quite horrifying for causing the death of so many innocent workers and find the very idea of someone like that existing in their world as nothing less than a nightmare. Jack meanwhile finds them all repulsive for making a living out of experiencing prostitution itself and swears to tear down everything they have built.
  • Exclusive to Stunk:
    • Stunk Tricalco, after an unspecified argument with his father, he was expelled from his noble family, where he then become an adventurer to support himself before going on to becoming a founding member and the sole human among the Interspecies Reviewers.
    • Steve Smith DESPISES Stunk due to him living the life a virgin such as him can only dream of and is nothing but antagonistic towards the seasoned adventurer... not that Stuck knows or really cares about it. Ironically enough, Steve's dad, Stan, is great friends with him because of those very same reasons.
    • Due to being the only human amount his group, Stunk finds it refreshing to find other like-minded humans beings such as Johnny Bravo and Gleen Quagmire, the former of which each can be seen hanging around the other's temple, while the latter often joins Stunk on some of his sex escapades on the regular.
    • Stunk can be found constantly avoiding Admiral ZEX due to him wanting to "collect" him and turning him into a display. The VUX in general creeps him out, while they dislike looking at him in any way, let alone get involved in any of his silly and disgusting antics.
  • Exclusive to Zel:
    • Zel is a 200-year-old gerontophiliac elf who has been a regular at Ye Pubbe for 30 years. He has been visiting senior human Mitsue Onoda regularly for 30 years, who is one of his favorite succu-girls.
    • Due to being a long-lived horndog, Zone-tan often visits Zel for inspiration from his stories over the very lewd memories he's made over the many years he adventures. There's also the fact that he knows a certain shop from his world that can help bring Zone's creations to life...
    • While not a very typical elf due to his extreme libido, Zel has found himself approached by many deities within the Pantheon - some hostile, some not so - due to his race, which he personally finds a completely hassle to deal with, especially when he himself freely admits he does not really fit the image of an elf most know them as.
    • One of the deities in the Pantheon Zel can be found hanging out with is Mary the Three-Breasted Prostitute, who greatly reminds him of his favorite prostitute, the senior human succu-girl Mitsue Onoda regularly whom he has been visiting for 30 years. Mary on her end is delighted by Zel's company and enjoys hearing the various stories of his various escapades back on his world both in and out of sex.
  • Exclusive to Crim:
    • An hermaphrodite angel Stunk and Zel one day while out on an adventure, Crimvael had his halo shattered by some unknown force, resulting in him being stuck in the mortal realm until the healing process can take place. In the end, he joins the Interspecies Reviewers and is seen working at the Ye Pubbe Tavern between "quests" he goes on with the group.
    • Panty Anarchy was positively ecstatic to find another Fallen Angel in the pantheon who was just as sex-crazed as her, even if Crim has a lot more self-control than his peer will ever have. Still, given their Commonality Connection, one would not be surprised to find them near each other on every other day or two, with the two being one of the more well-known Friends with Benefits pairs in all of the houses.
    • While he has become good friends with fellow angel Irina, Crim finds it embarrassing that she's so close with someone that can so casually announce her attentions for copulation so frequently without shame. Irina, in response, points out that he is apart of a well-known - and VERY perverted - reviewer group of brothels, and still continues to be so without any shame on his end to this day.
    • Kiara Sessyoin simply adores being around Crim due to him being an angel that slowly became more and more of a sex-obsessed pervert with BOTH sets of genitalia while staying quite a Nice Guy - a perfect match for a nun who went on to become a sex-obsessed deviant and apocalyptic beast of the end. While he very much enjoys Kiara's company - in more than one way - and is very comfortable on calling her his friend openly, Crim is very, very careful to avoid the downright depravity Kiara indulges in as Beast III/R who may or may not be willing to drag Crim down to said pathway with her at anytime.
• "I love bein' a horny bastard!"

• Lesser God

• Theme Music: Manhunt
• Alignment: Chaotic Neutral, potentially Neutral Evil if pissed off
• Portfolio: Anti-Hero in Death Row, Bald of Evil, Has very sadistic methods of killing yet manages to remain calm and composed, Combat Pragmatist, Enraged by his family's death, Noble Demon who cares about some people, Offstage Villainy, One-Man Army, Serial-Killer Killer
• Domains: Criminals, Films, Murder, Violence
• Allies: Daniel Lamb, Carl Johnson, Marv, Jack Cayman
• Enemies: Lionel Starkweather, Piggsy, Richard Trager, Kevin, Ethan Roark Jr., Ethan Roark Sr. Chris Walker, C.R.A.S.H., Junko Enoshima and Monokuma, Tsugumi Shirogane
• Opposed by: The House of Law and Justice
• Commonality Connection: Hansel and Gretel
• Teeth-Clenched Teamwork: The Jigsaw Killer
• James Earl Cash was a death row inmate due to his execution but somehow he bound up waking up in a strange alleyway with a rather strange man guiding his actions. It seems Cash ended up being the latest big star of Lionel Starkweather's film, forcing Cash to kill anyone of the rival gangs Starkweather he is in until reaching the grand finale and dying at the hands of the White Rabbit. However, given that Starkweather got Cash's family killed by the Innocentz, Cash would end up surviving the ambush meant to kill him and instead go after Starkweather himself, getting himself involved in a huge conspiracy and snuff ring that ultimately ended with a lot, and we mean A LOT, of people dead including Starkweather. Cash's whereabouts after the director was killed was left unknown and he seemingly dissapeared never to be seen again....until the Pantheon revealed he was still very much alive.
• Cash's was given the tentative title of Murder Simulator given his work of origin being rather infamous for it's gratuitous violence and heavy themes, often having a rather controversial reputation in media. He just didn't care about any public backlash and just wanted to lay low, which backfired horribly given that Starkweather was very much alive in the Pantheon and wanting revenge for being killed. It's believed that the director pulled a few strings to lure Cash out of hiding and have him in the Pantheon where he would have a harder time avoiding detection.
• Nobody knows how he managed to avoid detection for so long but there are some theories that he managed to settle down and open a construction business years later but many have questioned those claims and Cash isn't interested in disproving them either. While the extent of his crimes are are unknown, one has to wonder why he was placed in Death Row in the first place and the House of Law and Justice has issued a warrant to capture him but so far they haven't managed to catch him yet.
• Given his experience "working" under Starkweather, Cash would rather stay far away from any of the psychos that like to force people into a Deadly Game, even if his one was merely a very creative Snuff Film. Cash wasn't the only to belong to such a scene, besides Starkweather's ilk, twins Hansel and Gretel were forced to participate in similar events and that certainly left the pair scarred and became a murderous tag team as a result. Believe it or not, Cash does have some of pity on the children because he feels sorry that they had to such horrible stuff at such a young age but considering they are pretty dangerous themselves, he doesn't try his luck and prefers to leave them alone. Plus, they are on friendly terms with Starkweather, so he fears the kids would rat him out and try to get him killed via an ambush.
  • Speaking of masterminds, he's heard of the Hope's Peak incident and the behavior that Monokuma and his master Junko Enoshima exhibited is pretty similar to what the insane director has made him go through, except they were more subtle about it and targetted innocent people instead of someone like him. Cash knows that if he were to be involved in such an event, he wouldn't last much and his rather stoic nature has intrigued Junko, which made her taunt the man about the loss of his family. She did however, understimated how resourceful and hard to pin down James Earl Cash was (a man who singlehandedly destroyed an entire snuff ring mind you) and he effortlessly infiltrated her temple and murdered her with no effort. Upon returning to life, Junko just found it amusing how someone like him could outsmart her and in order to get a stronger reaction out of him, she tried to pester him more and provoke him, even having her fellow conspirator and Fan Tsumugi Shirogane help out. She also has contacted Starkweather in order to aid him in capturing Cash just because it amused her.
• While might be an unsavoury fellow himself, it's not like he has a high opinion on other high profile criminals and his loner reputation does precede him. For example, he once decided to lay low in Sin City given that it too was kind of a shithole similar to Carcer City but then he had some nasty encounters with some of the Roark family's goons and it escalated into a confrontation with both Kevin and Ethan Roark Jr., the yellow bastard wanting Cash's head because he was friends with Starkweather. Naturally he ended up ripping the bastard's head with an axe and had to relent once Kevin showed up. This also ended up causing Cash to gain another powerful enemy in the form of Roark Sr., the Yellow Bastard's father who basically run the whole show and it seemed Cash would finally be caught but surprisingly he got a last minute bail from Marv. The man knows that Cash may be a dirtbag like any other but at the least he has some commendable qualities which considering the kind of people Marv deals with on a daily basis, let him go after avoiding the Roark goons.
• Cash is not a man to make too many friends, hell other than the aforementioned friendly terms he has with Marv, he doesn't have much in the ally department and his enemy list got bigger by the minute for his sheer ability to piss off anyone wherever he went. He did finally made a trustworthy ally in the form of Danny Lamb, the man has also been involved in a conspiracy with everyone out to kill him and relates to the fact that a crazy man had set them up to fail respectively, with the main difference that Danny had to coexist with his own nemesis not only in the inside but in the Pantheon that man finally became a reality. Cash in a way is a middle ground between Danny and Leon but is only willing to help out Danny since he knows Leo is a loose canon
• If there is one thing he doesn't like is insane people with murderous intent. He knows well that he isn't much better than those but at least he has some restraint withing himself to not murder 24/7 (though you would think otherwise with the amount of people that he kills just to survive). Particularly the experience with Piggsy has left him sore on anyone wielding a chainsaw and he's seen people in the Pantheon, the inmates from Mount Asylum like Chris Walker and Richard Trager for example, that make the Innocentz or the Smileys look tame by comparison.
• Having heard of his "adventure", Howard and Kreese believe that Cash would be an excellent participant in DeathWatch but it's obvious he would decline to get involved in such a event considering his rather "unpleasant" time filming that god awful film. He does get along with Jack Cayman a bit, only because the former is impressed someone who looks like a regular goon would devastate an entire criminal group by himself, with mercenaries and all that Jazz. He also has turned down any job related to capturing Cash, while he admits he might be a dangerous fella, the people that are after him besides the fuzz are just as bad or even worse than him so he is ok in his book.
• Of course Cash would have found himself on the radar of several police officers looking to get him to answer for his crimes but many of those are as crooked as the Carcer City police officers where. Cash has had encounters with folks like Officers Tenpenny and Pulaski who tried to blackmail cash into submission but that didn't work the way they expected and he just stole one of their guns and fired back at them. Chief Brian Irons also tried to get ahold of Cash using his connections but that only got the fat schlob ambushed by Cash and gutted in a similar way he killed Starkweather. Then there was Manny Pardo, who was at least familiar with how criminals and serial killers operated since he is one of them and tried to track down the infamous James Earl Cash but was unsuccesful each time.
• Turns out that CJ found him extremely familiar and it seems in San Andreas toy figures of him and Piggsy can be found in stores. That fact alone earned Carl a rather rare reaction of confusion from Cash who questioned who would even buy such toys. The two strangely remained in good terms, mostly stemming from the fact that CJ commended him for kicking the asses of the fools at C.R.A.S.H. who have a history of making CJ's life a living hell.
• Though many people want him dead and he is not a fan of getting caught in elaborate death games, he and the Jigsaw Killer managed to strike a rather peculiar pact. Rather than forcing into one of his signature traps, Jigsaw saw that Cash for a criminal had some small virtues that could maybe allow the killer to catch even more dangerous and depraved individuals and politely asked the man that if he ever caught someone that deserved something worse than death and pissed him off, he instead requested that instead of just killing them that he should simply bring them to him, act like one of his proxies in a way. Cash chose to ignore him but kept the suggestion in mind.
• Can also be found at Murder and Assassination.

John Oliver

John William Oliver, God of Political Programmes (Mr. British Birb)

• Demigod
• Symbol: The Last Week Tonight logo
• Theme Music: "Go" by Valley Lodge
• Alignment: Chaotic Good
• Portfolio: Deadpan Snarker, Shouting at Times, Jerk with a Heart of Gold, Uncomfortable Subjects and How Ridiculous and Dire They Are
• Domains: Information, Comedy
• Allies: Jon Stewart, Stephen Colbert, Fievel Mousekewitz (to a point), Frank West, Lois Lane, Jade
• Targets for Mockery: Vince McMahon, Donald Love, Herbert Garrison, Ethan Roark Sr., Mayor of Townsville, Diana Christensen, Damon Killian, Kent Brockman, Louis Bloom, Mr. Burns, Manfred von Karma
• Weird Relations: Winnie the Pooh, Santa Claus
• Ever since being an immigrant to the United States, British comedian John Oliver’s line of humor has fallen in line with many political topics that have happened within his lifetime. In addition to stand-up work and acting in a few films, Oliver has served as a Senior British Correspondent on The Daily Show with Jon Stewart and even served as a guest host when Stewart was busy making a movie. Following that stint, he has received his own late-night show and has taken to covering politics and other difficult topics with a satirical approach.
• He ended up getting a letter one day that didn’t have a defined address, but there was a phone number that he could call to get clarification on what was going on. Oliver called that number and he was told that he would be a part of a “Pantheon”, something that confused him greatly since he still had plenty to work on. Oliver was told that while he would get a tag that would designate him as part of the Pantheon, he could visit from time-to-time so that he could focus more on his work. He would later accept that arrangement, though he was still bewildered for some time about that call.
• From the time that he’s spent in the Pantheon, he’s noticed that part of what happens there isn’t all that different from the real world, albeit with a more fantastical angle to it. Given that he’s covered a number of topics such as mistreatment of children and other individuals, torture, medicine, and legislation, he’s taken a bit of time to do a version of these topics for the Pantheon so that they can be brought up in addition to the perpetual fantasy conflict that pervades the Pantheon.
• Alongside Stephen Colbert, Oliver served as a correspondent for Jon Stewart before getting their own TV show. Whereas Colbert acts like an over-exaggerated caricature of himself that greatly supports America for comedy, Oliver has a more caustic and sarcastic approach to various issues. Even if Stewart himself has only continued his program in the Pantheon setting, he’s still pleasantly surprised to see his former Daily Show correspondents get spots and sometimes, the three have done some comedy collaborations together in the Pantheon.
• In what didn’t come as much, if any, surprise to Oliver, there were a multitude of corrupt politicians running around in the Pantheon and while their influence is nowhere near as significant as the corrupt figures Oliver has covered in the real-world, the damage they cause is significant enough not to be ignored. Those corrupt figures in the Pantheon have proven to be easy targets for Oliver to mock given that they’re exaggerated versions of what he’s mocked previously and the fact that Herbert Garrison and Donald Love are heavily based on Donald Trump was a fact that wasn’t lost on Oliver.
• Fievel Mousekewitz heard about another immigrant in the Pantheon and was hoping to meet up with whoever it was. In turn, Oliver was interested in seeing if there were other immigrants in the Pantheon and their meeting was something that eventually happened. Oliver has covered immigration a handful of times on his show and there was an instance where he provided a satirical sense of realism to Fievel arriving in America. While the mouse was apprehensive about the clip related to himself, he did understand Oliver’s broader points about the difficulties people go through regarding immigration and how many have it much harder than Fievel ever did.
• Santa Claus was brought up at one point and while Oliver initially had positive things to say about him, he later learned that “Santa” had a lot of unsavory things behind him. Oliver suspected that Santa would be in the Pantheon (and he also found out there were a couple variants of Santa as well) and once his suspicions were confirmed, he started wondering if Santa did those unsavory things that Oliver learned about. When word reached the real Santa, he found those claims to be ridiculous and that the “Santa” Oliver found was nothing more than a crude impostor.
• Corruption in China has been a topic that Oliver has gone into a few times and some of it involves jumping in on the alleged physical comparisons between Xi Jinping and Winnie the Pooh. It was enough for Oliver’s program to get banned in that country for some time. Oliver later found out that the Pantheon had Pooh Bear running around and when he met him face-to-face, things got really awkward, particularly since Pooh Bear had no idea on what Oliver had talking about. Oliver left with some confusion, though it hasn’t deterred him from making some more potential jokes if possible.
• Wrestling is a sport that Oliver has apparently been noted to enjoy because of the strangeness of some events that occur there. In spite of this, he didn’t hold himself back in criticizing Vince Mcmahon on the WWE’s management of wrestlers whenever they aren’t in the ring. It’s also provided Oliver an excuse to show off a clip of Mcmahon getting his face shoved towards the ass of another wrestler. Within the context of the Pantheon, wrestlers seem to be better off there than they were in the real world and even then, if something seriously wrong happens in that regard, Oliver will just have more material, Ass Shove clip notwithstanding.
• Despite his claims that he’s not a journalist, Oliver’s work has been noted to fall within that line of work given the topics he’s covered on his program. Frank West, Lois Lane, and Jade have all been noted to like Oliver’s program and have noted the similarities to how they go out of the way to find what they’re looking for, even if Oliver’s methods are mostly more mundane in comparison (he simply has a team of researchers with a background in journalism to look into topics for his program). As much as the three are interested in working with Oliver for material for his program, they have a lot of other personal things to take care of for themselves.
  • While Oliver is generally friendly towards the aforementioned three, the same can’t be said regarding Louis Bloom and what Oliver learned about him was more than upsetting. Bloom saw Oliver as little more than a rival that needed to be eliminated and even told Diana Christensen about what Oliver’s program is like. Diana agreed with Bloom that Oliver had to be taken off the air quickly and was more than aware of the possibility that Oliver would come up with an audacious ploy to humiliate the two during a topic that would focus on problematic media.
• One topic that Oliver covered in regards to litigation was a type of lawsuit designed to cause psychological damage to others over certain matters, even if the perpetrator wasn’t going to win said suit. Oliver had to deal with a lawsuit from a coal magnate and after the suit was dropped, he talked about how some lawsuits were designed to harm the victim in spite of odds. Afterwards, he proceeded to go into an extravagant dance number dedicated to insulting said coal magnate with a variety of outlandish claims. Corrupt lawyers such as Manfred von Karma were outraged at what Oliver did and are more than willing to work with corrupt business figures in giving Oliver a lawsuit that would make what the coal magnate gave out look tame in comparison.

• Oppose: Kenji Setou
• Established in September of 2015, the Bedtime Stories crew uploaded their first video in January of 2017, which covered The Unsolved Mystery of the disappearance of 3 lighthouse keepers at Flannan Isle off Scotland. Unlike most other channels that focused on the same topics, theirs was unique in that, instead of simply narrating throughout the video, it was instead accompanied with Deliberately Monochrome images of the titular island as well as the lighthouse keepers in question.
• Their members are, in order: Richard While, the Narrator, Mikey Turcanu, the artist, George Foster, the website editor, and Simon Andrews, the primary writer.
• Another thing that set them apart from similar Youtube channels was their emphasis on Maybe Magic, Maybe Mundane, where rational explanations were given alongside several of the more outlandish or interesting theories for a mystery. One of the best examples of this is the episode focusing on Flight 19, which disappeared in The Bermuda Triangle. Unlike most other depictions of the incident, which often featured wild conspiracies ranging from being unwitting Dimensional Travelers to being the victims of Alien Abduction, they took a far more mundane and rational take, where Lt. Taylor had mistaken a set of islands for the Florida Keys, and ended up becoming an Unwitting Instigator of Doom by having his men run out of fuel over water and be lost to the sea.
• Ultimately, this new storytelling technique would pay off, as subsequent videos and topics began to look and sound far scarier, with the artwork improving gradually. All the while their views and subscriber count increased, with many saying that they're far better in telling these stories than most other, similar channels.
• At first focusing mostly on the supernatural and the paranormal, they gradually branched out into other, no less nightmarish, topics, ranging from Nazi superscience or their research into the occcult, to more mundane Serial Killers or disappearances.
• Among the most famous (or infamous, if we're really being specific here) unsolved mystery cases they have covered include: The Men in Black, the aforementioned Disappearance of Flight 19 in The Bermuda Triangle, purported Wendigo sightings, and the mysterious sinking of the SS Ourang Medan.
• Their ascension is rather uneventful, with the four of them being on Earth one minute, and then ending up in the Pantheon in another. Almost as if they were Dimensional Travelers, not unlike The Man from Taured...
• Not long after their ascension, they begin coming across some of the very creatures they have covered in their videos, most notably the Wendigo, which promptly begins attacking them. Thankfully, they're saved by members of the SCP Foundation, who immediately recapture the escaped beast. Unfortunately, they're then held captive by them for a time due to them knowing about their existence. When the Foundation members realize that they're harmless, they let them go.
• Despite opposing their activities in inadvertently exposing the existence of aliens, Agents K and J come to find their take on The Men in Black to be pretty amusing. The Crew themselves are rather surprised that they're rather chill people to be around with. Rather than neuralyze them, they opt to let them continue narrating their take on their organization.
• Members of XCOM, upon getting hold of their videos on aliens, are surprised with their rather thorough attention to detail. It culminates to the point where their members interrogate the Crew for intel on the alien encounters that took place during The Vietnam War.
• Other organizations, such as The Silencerz, aren't exactly happy with the risk of being exposed by the Crew, and subsequently begin watching over them with their X-88 recon drones as well as Silencerz cars stalking their headquarters on occasion. This doesn't go completely unnoticed, as the Crew at one point witness a seemingly-ordinary sedan morph into a silver and purple car, then vanish from plain sight not long after. It ultimately backfires for the Silencerz, when the Crew begin researching on their known appearances in the Pantheon. Thankfully for the organization, there isn't enough information to confirm this existence, and so the episode covering them ends on a rather ambiguous note.
  • With their video covering the Silencerz proving to be a hit, they decide to make a follow-up video on their Arch-Enemy, the Racing Drones. This time, they do manage to very much confirm the Drones' existence, with them providing theories as to their origins.
• With a ton of new potential topics to cover in the Pantheon, they decide to start by covering supernatural or paranormal creatures lurking within the Pantheon, starting with Spooky and the Specimens. It...goes surprisingly well, thanks in part to them choosing to research about them from deities who have already encountered her and her minions, rather than going to the Haunted House where she resides in. And not long after, their video on her becomes a hit, with 100k views in less than a week. And unlike their previous videos, the Crew presented evidence that undoubtedly proved the beings' existences.
• Eventually, the Crew discover the existence of an entire House dedicated to Extraterrestrials. Unsurprisingly, they decide to cover some of the more mysterious and/or hostile cases. From a distance of course, as they're all Genre Savvy enough to know the fates of many of the people they have covered. Given that among their number are The Combine, who also have allies in the form of ADVENT from other houses, this was probably a good move.
• Following up on their coverage of Spooky, they eventually discover the House of Undead and Phasmata, which excites the Crew even more. Of the sub-houses, they take the most interest in the Hall of Ghosts, due to already having covered numerous hauntings in previous videos, as well as the aforementioned Spooky. Unlike their previous ventures, they actually visit this particular sub-house in person, thanks in part to many of the deities there being good-aligned.
• When not covering ghosts or aliens, they cover Serial Killers in detail. Jack the Ripper earns most of their attention, mostly due to this case being one of the unsolved mysteries out there. Other killers that they plan on covering include the infamous Hannibal Lecter and Manny Pardo, the latter of whom would probably enjoy the renewed infamy given that he's an Attention Whore.
• Another set of topics they've also extensively covered include Sea Monsters, Sinking Ship Scenarios, Ghost Ships, and other related maritime tragedies. With the Pantheon being as massive as it is, there is, again, no shortage of things for the Crew to cover.
  • On one hand, there's creatures such as the Lagiacrus and the Plesioth, sea monsters known for sinking ships deliberately. Given that they've covered similar creatures in a previous episode of theirs, it was a spectacle for them to witness firsthand just how powerful and majestic they were up close.
  • The Flying Dutchman is also very much in the Crew's spotlight. Given that his ship is inspired by the Flying Dutchman legends and his namesake, which they have yet to cover, this makes a lot of sense.
• Are rather surprised that many of the Nazi wonderweapons that they've covered in their videos are actually Real After All here in the Pantheon. Rather than getting this information firsthand, they learn all of this from OSS operatives like Lt. Karl Fairburne and Lt. Mike Powell, who are all too happy to give them declassified information of several now-realized Nazi projects. The only Nazi deity who's even willing to approach the Bedtime Stories Crew is Rudolf von Stroheim, who tells the Crew about Nazi Generals such Heinz Böhm and Johann Schmidt, who have developed Super Prototype heavy bombers capable of feats considered impossible for their time. The Crew, understandably, are quite shocked, given that the capabilities of the Valkyrie and the Horten Ho.XVIII make the Junkers Ju 390 look normal by comparison.
• In addition, they've also covered the Imperial Japanese Army at one point, specifically how a battalion of 500 Japanese were mysteriously killed in a swamp off the Burmese coast. Hearing about Metallia, The Swamp Witch, attacking both American Marines and Japanese soldiers venturing into a certain swamp has the Crew decide to make a follow-up video to the aforementioned one. In keeping with the themes of some of their previous videos, this follow-up slash sequel is called "There is Something In The Swamp".
• On the side, they also decide to make alliances with other good or neutral aligned deities who are also experts in the supernatural and paranormal. It ultimately ends in...mixed results, to say the least. While some like Mystery Inc. do prove to be trustworthy allies who also help debunk for them several mysteries while also giving them some valuable topics to cover, others, such as the Ghost Stories Cast, aren't so helpful, to say the least.
  • The Winchester Brothers, meanwhile, are more than happy to give them more material to work with, even introducing them to some of their Angel allies.
  • The Crew as a whole also form a friendship with The Question, a fellow Conspiracy Theorist. Unlike Kenji Setou, his sources are more reliable and often have good reasoning to them. It's mainly from him, in fact, that they got their information regarding the Silencerz from.
  • Nate Adams, despite being a relatively average young boy, manages to gain the interest of the Crew after telling them about the Yōkai, something that they have yet to cover in their videos. It also helps that they have yet to cover supernatural stories from Japan, The Man from Taured notwithstanding.
• Are rather opposed to taking sources from one Kenji Setou. The latter, having watched several of their videos, often takes the time to email them about a "Feminist Conspiracy" happening. Of course, Rich and the others do not take him seriously, and eventually stop replying and block him altogether.
• When the rest of the crew are not covering their usual topics for upcoming videos, Rich takes the time to explore the Pantheon. Eventually, he comes across Gordon Freeman. Having been a huge fan of the original game where Freeman debuted in, he becomes overjoyed that his hero from his younger days is now real. On the flipside, he isn't exactly thrilled about the existence of The Combine, the Headcrabs, the HECU, and the Black Ops being in the Pantheon as well. In particular, the Black Ops now want the Bedtime Stories Crew silenced for knowing too much.
• After all is said and done, the Crew come to a brilliant realization: since they've pretty much vanished off the face of the Earth and somehow ended up in Another Dimension, they can now do a video on themselves. And so, the Crew get to work, making brief biographies of thesmelves while recounting how they mysteriously ended up Trapped in Another World. It, like most of their videos beforehand, ends with Richard While's now iconic narration.

Rich: "So what are we to make of the Bedtime Stories Crew's disappearance and subsequent ordeal in the Pantheon? Is it just some elaborate hoax conjured up by some guy on the internet? Is there some truth to the whole account? Or, is it a little bit of both? Unfortunately, thanks to the ambiguity and suddenness of their disappearance, as well as the lack of credible sources regarding to their fates and subsequent accounts, we may sadly never know the answer."

• Sesame Street is a place inhabited by Muppets and humans alike and lets those who visit the place learn more about themselves and the world around them. Whether it’s something easy to learn such as numbers and letters or more meaningful lessons such as empathy and understanding someone’s differences, kids and adults alike have learned a lot from visiting Sesame Street. While both humans and Muppets have come and gone from that place, there are a few Muppets that have stayed at Sesame Street since they first arrived and have brought plenty of lessons and adventures with them. While many other streets with their own unique traits have existed throughout time, there’s never been a street like Sesame Street and when a place like that has a lot happening, someone is bound to enjoy their time there, whether it’s for fun or for education.
• A traveler arrived at Sesame Street to talk about how varied different places around the world can be. While the denizens of Sesame Street have traveled outside their home a few times, the traveler talked about fantastical worlds far more unique and varied than what they could have imagined. Elmo asked the traveler if Sesame Street is part of this variety of worlds the traveler was talking about and the latter stated that it was true and that it’s more than possible for people from these worlds to visit Sesame Street. While there are plenty of worlds that are interesting, the traveler warned that there are some worlds to stay away from for various reasons including how the behavior of denizens from particular worlds would make them incapable of learning the lessons Sesame Street offers. The traveler would bid farewell to Sesame Street, with its denizens learning a lot from their visitor and the traveler having learned a few things from its residents as well.
• Kermit the Frog and his friends have quite a history with the residents of Sesame Street, dating back to when Kermit and Fozzie met Big Bird on the road who was trying to break into public television while the former two were looking to make it big as entertainers. Kermit has visited Sesame Street a number of times, oftentimes as a reporter chronicling various events for the area and other times as a straight-laced foil to some of the more eccentric residents. Sesame Streets’ residents have visited the set of The Muppet Show a couple of times and have even invited themselves over to Fozzie’s mother’s house one Christmas alongside the multitude of other Muppets that were there. Even if Kermit’s visits to Sesame Street have been far less frequent, if they ever happen, some of Sesame Street’s residents have still visited Kermit and his friends a handful of times and both ensembles get along great with the other.
• Throughout the street’s history, many have visited Sesame Street or some of its residents have met with others outside that area to talk to them about something, and songs may or may not be part of those meetings. R2-D2- and C-3PO are among those who have visited Sesame Street and have gotten themselves acquainted with Big Bird, while the Wicked Witch of the West (who Oscar the Grouch took a liking towards) was someone who ended up dropping in to that place at a different point in time thanks to losing her broom. Some of Sesame Street’s residents have ventured outside their home and it led to moments such as Cookie Monster talking to Stephen Colbert and John Oliver on different occasions, with Colbert having brought Big Bird and Oscar on to his show at one point. Even if some don’t directly visit Sesame Street, they’re still willing to contribute some lessons for the ensemble as part of a specialized “Pantheonic” version of the program that serves as an extension to the international versions of the show (which feature a mix of both characters from North America and those who are unique to a particular version from another country) that are produced and broadcast. While antagonistic characters such as Cersei Lannister (who alongside Tyrion Lannister did a PSA with Elmo, which was something that was a surprise to many given how ruthless she normally is) and the aforementioned Wicked Witch of the West were involved with the program in different ways, safety measures are in place to ensure that such antagonistic figures young and old (provided they haven’t caused grievous harm towards youngsters or murdering them repeatedly beforehand, otherwise they’re forbidden from being involved with Sesame Street in any capacity) behave themselves when working on the program. Given the wide variety of worlds that Sesame Street is connected to (whether it’s in English or another language), denizens from those areas are more than welcome to visit that street or provide a skit for them (similar to what Batman had done in the program’s early years) if visiting Sesame Street isn’t feasible.
• Sesame Street is no stranger to celebrating the holidays as it happens, and the Pantheon has given its denizens a chance to learn about some lesser-known festivities and celebrate them as part of the Pantheonic version of the program. Of the more iconic holidays, they have gone through many different Christmases, with Santa Claus being a significant part of several of them dating back to the 19th century when Sesame Street was able to find the kindness it would be known for thanks to the ancestors (who happened to share the names and looks) of its residents. Oscar the Grouch is also familiar with the story of A Christmas Carol, having read it at one point in time in addition to portraying Ebenezer Scrooge on two separate instances. The real Ebenezer was perplexed to learn of someone who had previously played him be dismayed at how he reformed at the end, but has stated that even if Oscar doesn’t like Christmas, there’s still plenty in life for him to enjoy, provided that Oscar’s mostly harmless antics don’t end up making things worse for someone in the long run.
• Many lessons have been taught at Sesame Street and other programs that have been made since then have taught similar lessons in their own way. Mr. Rogers had visited Sesame Street back then, with Big Bird having appeared on former’s program in turn and Mr. Rogers remains a strong supporter of the program. Many other entities who have taught something of educational value in their works have taken part in the Pantheonic version of Sesame Street including Wordgirl and Lex the Bookworm for vocabulary and letters, Dora the Explorer in teaching Spanish, and Curious George has interacted with the cast and took part in some side segments about being fascinated with odd items. Barney the Dinosaur has a strong imagination and while Oscar the Grouch found him to be irritating, Elmo had no problem sharing an imaginative mind with the purple dinosaur and hanging out with him on occasion.
• The Hundred-Acre Wood is also home to an eclectic cast of characters who go on adventures and learn lessons along the way, with some of them taking an edutainment route much like the Sesame Street gang. While Christopher Robin and his stuffed animal friends have visited Sesame Street on occasion, Big Bird and the other denizens of that street have made some visits to the Hundred-Acre Wood to hang out with Pooh Bear and his friends. Whether their personalities are similar or different from each other, the Hundred-Acre Wood gang and denizens of Sesame Street enjoy their time with each other. Big Bird and Pooh Bear’s child-like wonder of the world around them was endearing to plenty while Tigger enjoyed bouncing around the trash around Oscar the Grouch despite the latter finding Tigger annoying and having fun messing with Rabbit during visits of any kind. Imagination has played a crucial role in the adventures that the Hundred-Acre Wood gang are involved with and Roo has had plenty of fun hanging out with Elmo, seeing him as a neighbor of similar age to go along with Tigger being a surrogate big brother to Roo.
• Despite the popularity of the show and its characters, there are a few who hate the ensemble over the lessons they provide. I.M. Meen was one such character who hated the idea of children learning about grammar and would rather kidnap them in the poorly-written books he’s made. Given how many of the people who watch or visit Sesame Street are children, this was seen as a problem, though the children are able to escape Meen’s traps much to his anger. There are an assortment of evil teachers such as Baldi who couldn’t care less about Sesame Street, but given the pain they inflict on children (in addition to Count von Count seeing Baldi’s messed-up math problem as scribbles and not numbers), the Pantheonic version of Sesame Street has talked about how children are taught educational curriculum and the right way of how to correct mistakes children make in their work. Not helping matters is that there was a group of teachers who created twisted versions of the kinds of lessons Sesame Street teaches and tried to pass it off as more effective than what the program provides despite it not being the case in many ways.
• Sesame Street being a long-running program and having international variants meant that it had plenty of songs throughout its history. The Pantheonic version of the program has allowed plenty of musicians to have a guest spot on the program, usually to sing a song related to the lesson an episode is focused on, but sometimes to write a song for the program as well. Many have seen music as a good thing and that it can be used to inspire others, but there were some musicians who have used their songs to create problems for others and those were the kind of people who were forbidden from writing anything for the program. Those kinds of safeguards are part of the extensive production process in ensuring that the Pantheonic version of Sesame Street is just as effective in teaching its lessons as the English and international versions of the program.
• Much like the Muppets, the cast of Sesame Street has not only parodied existing media, but has provided their own interpretations of classic stories. Cookie Monster took up the role of Alistair Cookie for a series of simplified stories as part of Monsterpiece Theater while Elmo took the lead in a version of Cinderella. There are plenty of writers and storytellers in the Pantheon that the residents of Sesame Street were interested in, though some have written stories about as bad as the books I.M. Meen attempted to make or at the very least, would be very difficult for Sesame Street to make a version of that can be used to teach an effective lesson. That hasn’t stopped those who enjoy reading a good book such as Wishbone from visiting Sesame Street, with the dog liking how people can imagine themselves as part of the story akin to how Abby Cadaby imagined herself as the lead in Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland and suggesting other books the residents can read.
• Despite his size, Big Bird is six years old, is kind towards others, and has a childlike wonder of the world around him. He has also found himself in plenty of significant events including accepting the death of beloved shopkeeper Mr. Hooper and going on a journey back to Sesame Street after finding it difficult to fit in with a group of dodos that were believed to be his family. Having helped a young Egyptian pharaoh get into the afterlife and telling Osiris' that the boy in question suffered from being lonely for too long to explain why his heart was so heavy, Big Bird found it intriguing that there were many other gods of the afterlife with personalities different from Osiris for better or for worse. Big Bird would also travel to China to find a phoenix with the Monkey King providing him clues to help him on his quest and much like how there were different versions of gods of the afterlife, the phoenix had many different versions of itself that fascinated Big Bird. Big Bird noticed more than a few similarities between the Princess Kaguya in the Pantheon and the woman he met while in Japan, but is still sympathetic towards what Princess Kaguya had to go through and she is more than interested in someone who witnessed the events of The Taleofthe Bamboo Cutter not just in a presentation of such, but in real-life.
  • Speaking of boy pharaohs, Big Bird somehow found himself obtain a kinship with Atem/Yami Yugi, seeing as he had been sealed away from the afterlife like Saru (Saru for roughly 4,300 years, whereas Atem would be sealed and lost his memories between 3000 to 5000 years) and how he remember his past and finally pass on thanks to his friendship with Yugi Muto. He is kinda confused that Yami can summon the Egyptian God called Osiris/Slifer the Sky Dragon though.
• Oscar the Grouch is part of a race of creatures who pride themselves in being filthy and negative about everything around them (though children seem to be the only thing he isn’t that negative about) and Oscar himself is quite a grouch compared to almost everyone else in Sesame Street. Grumpy Bear and Grouchy Smurf have taken to hanging out with Oscar, who remarked that for better and for worse, he didn’t feel alone when it came to being the token grumpy member of a normally cheerful ensemble after meeting those two. There were also plenty of landfills across the Pantheon that Oscar visited to take in the trashy sights they have to offer. While Grouchland was already a messy place in a way that Oscar likes, the landfills of the Pantheon were just as fascinating to him in regards to the large amount of junk many leave behind.
• Bert and Ernie are two best friends who are very close to each other and have differing personalities and interests, with Bert being fond of pigeons and Ernie liking his rubbery ducky. Bert has tried to present himself as straight-laced despite the hijinx that result from Ernie’s penchant for jokes. During a show about what life is like underwater, Bert and Ernie went diving together and ended up near Bikini Bottom, which had a society that functioned closer to humans than it did for typical aquatic creatures. While Ernie got a lot of enjoyment out of hanging out with Spongebob Squarepants, Bert saw in Squidward Tentacles a more jaded version of himself when it came to dealing with eccentric people. Bert offered a lesson to Squidward about learning to tolerate people that can be weird as Bert has had experience in putting up with Ernie, but Squidward claimed that when dealing with someone like Spongebob, it can be a challenge trying to tolerate certain people. Despite this, Bert is hopeful that Squidward can take this lesson into consideration as time progresses. As for friends on land, Bert saw a good friend in Porky Pig, another person with odd interests who regularly has to put up with a zany friend in Daffy Duck.
• Cookie Monster (formerly named Sid before his appetite for cookies kicked in) has a voracious appetite, eating anything from phones to his favorite food cookies, though he has had the time to fit healthy foods into his meal plan. There were plenty of food providers for Cookie Monster to look into, including a large number of Grandmas who provided a near-endless supply of cookies for him to eat that was highly tempting, but he is aware of when he is eating too much from them (who don’t mind his presence despite their generally cranky disposition) or other food providers. That’s why Cookie Monster is more than willing to share some food, cookies or otherwise, with other big eaters in the Pantheon including Kirby, who has a child-like attitude to go along with his huge appetite. Kirby is cheerful enough to hang out with the other children of Sesame Street such as Big Bird, Elmo and Abby in addition to sharing some food with the denizens of that street whenever he drops by and using some of his copy abilities to play pretend and demonstrate how certain objects work.
• Count von Count is a vampire with a fondness for the macabre and a notable habit for counting anything that springs to mind. He is allegedly a distant relative to Count Dracula, who is nowhere near as friendly as Count von Count is to put it lightly. There were other vampires by the name of Dracula that existed and following a counting of them, The Count found himself gravitating towards a Dracula that operated Hotel Transylvania, described as a place where other monsters can relax and hang out with each other. The Count found Hotel Transylvania to be a wonderful place to visit and admired how its owner was able to overcome his initial prejudice of humanity in addition to making the most of being a parent towards his daughter Mavis and the son she would later have with Johnny Loughran in spite of the numerous misadventures that ensued. Sesame Street has some weird creatures of its own and Dennis has made some visits there with the approval of his Dracula, Mavis, and Johnny (the latter two of whom sometimes tag along with Dennis) to have fun with Count von Count and the younger denizens such as Elmo.
  • Even taking into account the wide variety of vampires present in the Pantheon, The Count is different from others of his kind by virtue of being a neutral, but friendly, figure who is defined by his obsession with counting. While he’s opted not to get too involved, if at all, with the greater battles they’re facing, he did manage to find another fairly friendly vampire besides the father-daughter Dracula duo. While Marceline the Vampire Queen has had some personal issues she had to confront, she’s otherwise chill towards her friends and is a musician in her spare time. Like everyone else on Sesame Street, The Count has sung a handful of songs, which led Marceline to see The Count as another musically-inclined vampire and be part of the growing number of Pantheonic musicians that have contributed a song for the program.
• Mr. Snuffleupagus is Big Bird’s best friend and initially assumed to be an imaginary friend of his by others until Snuffy showed himself to be real. A quartet of imaginary friends who lived at Foster’s Home for Imaginary Friends were curious about someone who was a real entity after being previously regarded as imaginary. Eduardo, Coco, Wilt, and Bloo easily got along with Snuffy, though Snuffy’s story did lead to Bloo attempting to prove himself that he is real in front of a larger crowd that ended poorly for him. Snuffy is also a fan of opera and was thrilled to learn that not only were musicians who created operas such as Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and Richard Wagner were in the Pantheon, but so were a handful of opera fans as well. Bugs Bunny was someone who liked opera well-enough to the point that he made a couple of abridged parodies of The Ring of the Nibelung and The Barber of Seville, something that surprised Snuffy who initially didn’t believe that it was possible to shorten long stories like those down to a few minutes. While primarily a trickster, there’s a sense of theatricality to Bugs’ actions (whether it’s his disguises, his reactions to others, or engaging in music whenever such an element is called for) that Snuffy believes makes Bugs a great actor whether it’s for an abridged opera or another type of performing art.
• Grover is an affable monster who has done many jobs, but his bumbling nature has led to things not turning out the way he thinks it will be. Among the entities in the Pantheon who are clumsy, yet capable in many occupations included Luigi, Huckleberry Hound, and Goofy, all of whom have taken a liking towards Grover. The Pantheonic version of Sesame Street decided to do an episode about handling multiple jobs at the same time, with Grover being the central character of that production alongside a few guest stars. Regardless of whether or not one is fearful, mellow, or all-around clumsy towards what is ahead of them, Grover has shown that being able to do multiple jobs can benefit someone, regardless of whether or not there is one particular job that they are better at than others.
  • One of the more prominent occupations that Grover has taken up is being a superhero known as Super Grover (who would later be known as Super Grover 2.0). Even when compared to some of the more inept heroes in the Pantheon, Super Grover is clumsy to the point that he thinks that he saved the day when it was actually the person he is talking to that fixed whatever problem is happening. That has not stopped some equally odd and incompetent villains such as the League of Super Evil from springing into action to make things harder for Super Grover and other innocent bystanders that are nearby. Luckily for Super Grover, there are a few heroes such as Wordgirl who are willing to make things easier for him whenever there is some nuisance out there trying to inconvenience someone. Despite the added difficulties Super Grover is facing, he can help with investigation and problem solving in order to defeat whatever problem is happening, much to the consternation of the League of Super Evil and other low-level villains that try to cross him.
  • Grover misheard the "Game of Thrones" as if it was a game of musical chairs instead of the political game to see who would be seated on the Iron Throne. He and the rest of Sesame Street did a (definitely lighter) skit of the Succession Crisis which had many of the gods roaring in laughter in regards to how they integrated so many of the dark moments the Game of Thrones deities dealt with in their show.
• Telly has had an obsession with television, though such a trait hasn’t been as pronounced as it was back then and he’s developed a fascination with triangles as time passed. He’s also something of a worrywort, which has led to him getting along with others who are easily frightened such as Piglet from the Hundred-Acre Wood, Courage the Cowardly Dog, Scooby-Doo, and Shaggy. When it comes to Courage and Mystery Incorporated, they’ve been involved in investigating strange events and learning that not everything is as it appears to be, prompting a good lesson to be learned in Sesame Street about the literal and metaphorical masks people wear when they set out to do something. Telly has also learned that there’s nothing wrong with being afraid, but there are people who abuse their cowardice when things don’t go their way and that such an attitude would be seen as unacceptable.
• Elmo is a red-furred young monster with a loving family, a great imagination, and a strong presence on Sesame Street, traits that he didn’t have in the program’s early years (though he had a much more gravelly voice and minor role before he became the character many know him as). Rudy Tabootie was another youngster with an imaginative mind and such a mind was what allowed him to create the world of Chalkzone and go on adventures with his creation Snap White. Rudy and Snap once ended up in Elmo’s World one time and it didn’t take long for them to notice the chalk-like aesthetic around them. While Elmo’s World is less prone to being overrun by danger compared to Chalkzone, Rudy is more than willing to let Elmo visit Chalkzone whenever possible so that the red-furred monster can use his imagination to liven up the place further.
  • There have been plenty of events that Elmo has gone through, with him being responsible for some of them, leading to bad things and him taking responsibility for it. One incident involved Elmo wishing for Christmas every day of the year, which would lead to everyone except Oscar suffering from holiday fatigue and Elmo subsequently undoing it with the help of Lightning, a reindeer-in-training. Huey, Dewey, and Louie were a trio of kids who not only learned about the downsides of having Christmas every day much like Elmo, but were lively, had a supportive extended family (even though it was not without some challenges), and went on plenty of adventures that interested Elmo and his imagination. One other major adventure Elmo embarked on was going to Grouchland to get his blanket back and while he hasn’t talked much about it, he’s aware about how being possessive of a certain object can be a bad thing and there were plenty of mean entities in the Pantheon that Elmo and the rest of Sesame Street (Oscar the Grouch included) dislike due to sharing Huxley’s selfish personality, with many of them being worse about what they want to have.
• Rosita is a blue-furred monster with traits of a fruit-bat who can speak Spanish and play the guitar. Much to her delight, she learned that Dora the Explorer wasn’t the only deity with a Spanish dialect she could spend time with. Miguel Rivera had a great love for music and was able to overcome his family’s hatred of it with the help of Hector, who turned out to be his great-great-grandfather. Given Miguel’s extensive family tree that he was able to mend, Rosita enjoyed the company of both Miguel and Hector and is more than willing to invite her friends to be part of the musical festivities the duo has to offer. She is also fond of Speedy Gonzales and Puss in Boots, two Spanish heroes with larger-than-life personalities that help others in trouble.
• Zoe is a friend of Big Bird and Elmo (despite her pet rock Rocco being a major source of irritation for Elmo) who is a tomboy that enjoys ballet. She had been looking for others in the Pantheon who have taken up ballet like her, resulting in her befriending Ahiru following a search that led to her learning about people whose ballet careers were marked by numerous challenges including personal strife. While Ahiru had her own adventure to embark on when it came to being a ballerina, she is determined to help others overcome the darkness that’s taking over their lives. Zoe found a lot to like about Ahiru and while dealing with scary events was difficult regardless of whether or not one is a ballerina, Ahiru assured Zoe that with plenty of effort and a good heart, someone can make a positive impression on someone who needs help.
• Abby Cadabby is a young fairy in training who moved to Sesame Street and is very optimistic and kind-hearted, even when compared to the other friendly denizens of that place. She has gotten the chance to meet other fairies such as Tinker Bell and the three fairies who raised a princess named Aurora, seeing it as a chance to learn from experienced fairies who have used their magic to make things better for others. They can see the optimism in Abby, but have cautioned her that there are fairies who don’t share the same kind of benevolence they do, with Maleficent and a fairy godmother who antagonized Shrek and his friends being such examples of fiendish fairies to be careful of. There’s still plenty of progress to make for Abby to do more than just accidentally turn things into pumpkins, but she’s more than eager to have magic lessons by experienced fairies, even if there are entities who actively try to shoot down Abby’s idealistic mindset.
  • Two fairies that Abby was curious about were Cosmo and Wanda, who served as godparents to Timmy Turner, a kid who makes wishes to make things better for himself, only to repeatedly realize the harm that results from his wishes (with Cosmo and Wanda mentioning the time where Timmy wished for Christmas to be every day after Abby mentioned some of the past Christmases Sesame Street went through). The two fairy godparents have decided to use their experiences with Timmy as part of their lessons with Abby and have even arranged meet-ups with him to discuss how to effectively make wishes come true. Timmy initially had a few issues with Abby including an incident where she ended up bungling a wish Timmy wanted to make involving winning a pumpkin contest, but he’s warmed up to her thanks to Cosmo and Wanda helping her get a handle of using magic. While the duo aren’t the most competent fairies Abby has met thanks to their different eccentricities, she still thinks they’re fun to hang out with and sees an opportunity in helping Timmy be more consistent in owning up to his mistakes.
