  • Intermediate Goddess
  • Symbol: A golden butterfly
  • Alignment: Chaotic Neutral but portrays herself as Chaotic Evil
  • Portfolio: Memetic Troll, Broken Bird, Butterfly of Death and Rebirth, Used to Be a Sweet Kid, Sanity Slippage (partially recovered), The Gadfly, Zero-Approval Gambit, Stealth Mentor, Trickster Mentor, Murder-Suicide (stopped by lucid side winning out), Self-loathing, Silent Scapegoat, Jerkass Façade.
  • Domains: Chaos, Illusion, Trickery
  • Allies: Lambdadelta, Sunset Shimmer, Mion and Shion Sonozaki, Bugs Bunny, The Warner Siblings, Homura Akemi, Commander Farsight, The Boss, Stella Grosso, Rena Ryuguu
  • Enemies: The GUAE Trollkaiger (Yuuki Terumi, Bernkastel, Handsome Jack, Baco ta Jolokia, Izaya Orihara), Eric Cartman, Kinzo Ushiromiya, Dr. Sofia Lamb, Ragyo Kiryuin
  • Teeth-Clenched Teamwork: Vector
  • Was originally going to be the culprit of the Rokenjima mass murder. Fortunately, her lucid side won out as her sanity partially recovered through the help of someone close to her. Unfortunately, the event happened anyway. Yasu blamed the events on herself, going as far as to paint herself as a cold blooded sadist to hide the truth from the outside world to protect the people she cared about. Eva Ushiromiya also took part in this Zero-Approval Gambit, and it ended.....badly for her, with Eva dying with the person she was trying to protect seeing her as an enemy.
  • Is not fond of Vector, seeing him as a dark mirror of herself. She does support his path to redemption... Though it took her a long while to actually believe he repented. As you know, the guy is a massive troll.
  • Sees quite a lot of similarities between herself and Homura. The layers of masks surrounding their personality, the copious self-loathing, and her broken mental state. Beatrice suspects that there is more to Homura's actions than she is leading people to believe, but she has warned her to turn back, for only pain and despair await that path, much like the fate of Ange Ushiromiya.
    "I know people who did what you're doing now. You're only going to share in her fate. Dying with the people you care about hating you is only going to hurt them even more if they realize the truth.''
  • Considers Yuno to be a terrible reminder of her less lucid past and the things she may have ended up doing. She does sympathize with Yuno's horrible past, but still sees Yuno as someone who has to be stopped before she kills anymore large amounts of people. She was rather grateful when Yuno's 3rd world self took the reigns as the true Yuno.
  • Beatrice is more affable to Rena and Stella, knowing what it's like to lose their sanity over emotional trauma and pull back. Rena also reminds her a little of Maria.
  • Considers the Sonozaki Sisters and Bugs Bunny absolutely hilarious. She is considering joining the ranks of Lol Ranger either as their gold ranger or as one of their partners.

    JonTron 
Jon Jafari, God of Endless Memes (JonTron, Not-So Grump)

    Monsoon 
Monsoon, God of Memetic Philosophy (Memesoon, Snailsoon, Donsoon)
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/revmon_286.jpg
  • Intermediate God
  • Theme Song: The Stains Of Time
  • Symbol: His visored helmet, with Dystopia (his twin sais) crossed over it.
  • Alignment: Neutral Evil but very Chaotic in battle.
  • Portfolio: Cyborg Ninja, Ninja Run, Detachment Combat, Straw Nihilist, The Social Darwinist, Implied Childhood spent in War, That One Boss, White Hair, Black Heart, Malevolent Masked Men, Sai Guys, Standing at 6'8, Fluent in Khmer, Chinese, and English, MAGNETIC POWER!
  • Domains: Philosophy, Memes, Magnetism, Nature, Cyborgs
  • Allies:
  • Rivals: Pyrrha Nikos, Elektra Natachios, Mikoto Misaka, Might Guy
  • Enemies: Solid Snake, Bladewolf, Dr. Hal Emmerich, Ms. Fortune, Night Raid, 2B.
  • Annoyed by: Deadpool and any fourth wall breaking entity.
  • Odd Friendship: Lord Voldemort, The Crypt Keeper
  • Teeth-Clenched Teamwork: Samuel Rodriguez
  • Opposed by: All the Sword wielders in the Pantheon.
  • Friendly Enemy: Peacock
  • Evil Counterpart to: Suiseiseki and Souseiseki
  • Worthy Opponent: Raiden
  • Admires: House of Nature
  • A member of the Winds Of Destruction and the one partly responsible for bringing out Raiden's Superpowered Evil Side after years of dormancy. Even after losing against Raiden, Monsoon is still interested in learning Jack's motives more thoroughly.
    • His ascension was possible by Armstrong pulling the strings for behind the scenes to get him in. Although the Court of Gods weren't happy that another of Armstrong's Goons had entered the Pantheon, they nonetheless allowed him to stay in the House of Philosophy given his position with "The Memes".
  • Don't underestimate him. As nihilistic and Philosophical as he is, he is actually is quite a formidable fighter. Many of the Swordfighters he has faced in combat, DESPISE him because of his unnatural ability to dodge every sword attack (And let's not get started on his magnetic abilities). Raiden could only stand a chance against him because he had awakened his Ripper persona at the right time.
  • He managed to impress Magneto of all people with his Magnetic capabilities and decided to learn more about the cyborg. Monsoon on his part has a great amount of respect for Erik and find the nature of his powers Amazing.
    • Other people who managed to catch his attention were Pyrrha Nikos and Mikoto Misaka for their display in their Magnetic abilities. He has come to blows with both to test their powers and he was not disappointed in them.
  • He sympathizes with Peacock, because as it turns out, they both have dark backstories and suffered major injuries and as a result were rebuilt as Cyborgs. However, she has heard rumors that he was involved in Human trafficking before becoming a Cyborg and that didn't sit well with her. Nonetheless, they both seem to enjoy their goofiness and Monsoon is really interested in her "Cartoonish Memes"
  • In one instance he was challenged by Ms. Fortune because, as it turns out, Peacock just wanted to annoy him. Since Ms. Fortune and Monsoon have similar abilities, the resulting battle was drawn out enough that the two declared a brief ceasefire and agreed to not talk about what happened.
  • He is a frequent visitor of the House of Nature and he is fascinated with its environments and sightings. However, he has a weird admiration for Cherry Blossoms, which Armstrong finds stupid.
  • Was weirded out when he heard Lord Voldemort sounding just like him. They get along pretty well, and Monsoon want to learn what is Voldemort motivations for why he turned that way.
    • For the same reason as above, Might Guy has declared himself Monsoon's rival. While he isn't particularly bothered by Guy's fighting style, he finds his ideal about youth very interesting.
    • He once was invited by the Crypt Keeper to tell one of his horror stories. Surprisingly, monsoon can replicate his voice almost perfectly, which the Latter finds really amusing.
  • Is annoyed whenever other gods assume that his title refers to Internet memes. Especially Deadpool, who never stops spouting Internet memes at him◊ Monsoon generally considers these types of memes juvenile, but a good example of his beliefs on human behavior anyway. Ironically, he himself seems to be becoming an internet meme much to his own chagrin.
    • The most hilarious thing about all of this mess, is that Deadpool can replicate Monsoon's voice flawlessly, which greatly annoys the cyborg.
  • Was recently informed that he was not the only God of Memetic Philosophy, sharing this portfolio with Suiseiseki and Souseiseki. Was a little annoyed at this, but figured that being their evil counterpart is good enough.
    • Later he heard that the Doll twins were being moved and were getting their title changed. Monsoon couldn't help but grin with joy◊.
  • Many claim that his Theme Song is pretty cool, but he has received some mixed accusations that his song promotes other things:
    "THERE ARE SEVENTY TWO WOMENS TO BE RAPED! THE CHOCOLATE IS FALLING GENTLY DOWN ON THE TERRAIN!
    • He also received various covers of his song, which amused him. In his opinion, the best ones are the stylish one and the Kazoo one.
  • Used to be a member of the GUAE, but since his boss Armstrong has joined GUAC, he has tagged along with them. Monsoon is particularly interested to learn the motivations of some of the members of the morningstar battalion and see their "Memes" unfold.
  • He surprisingly gets along pretty well with General Esdeath after hearing her motivations and having a similar background. In turn, Esdeath agrees with his Philosophy and finds him a formidable fighter that managed to give her a run for her money. However, Monsoon cannot understand the drastic change in behaviour she has when she sees her "lover", Tatsumi. This Particularly "Meme" of her reminds him a little of his comrade Mistral. This of course meant that he was another potential threat to Night Raid.
  • "Free will is a myth. Religion is a joke. We are all pawns of something even greater: memes, the DNA of the soul...."

    Takumi Inui/Kamen Rider Faiz 
Takumi Inui, God of Memetic Hand Gestures (Kamen Rider Faiz, Nekojita, Wolf Orphnoch)
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/195657c86f3f4d1e0b0b53f234a342a7.jpg
Kamen Rider Faiz 
Spoiler 
  • Intermediate God (Greater God in Blaster Form)
  • Symbol: The Phi◊ Symbol
  • Theme Song: "Justiphi's", "Double Standard"
  • Alignment: Chaotic Good, although he sees himself as Heroic Neutral at first. Neutral Good post-Character Development
  • Portfolio: Brought to You by the Letter Phi, Badass Biker, Character Tics, Blood Knights, Loners, Being Sarcastic, Defrosted Ice Kings, Jerkass Façade, Jerk with a Heart of Gold, The Kirk, Tsundere, Flicking his Right Wrist in Battle, Being Depreciative Towards Everything, Even Himself, Being the Wolf Orphnoch
  • Domains: Combat, Heroism, Technology, Hand Gestures, Cyberpunk
  • Heralds: Mari Sonoda and Keitaro Kikuchi
  • Allies:
  • Headbutting Heroes With: Masato Kusaka/Kamen Rider Kaixa.
  • Enemies: The entire Demonic Legion, Ryoma Sengoku/Kamen Rider Duke, Vector, Battleship Re-Class, the Trollkaiger, Sora Shiun'in, Monokuma and his Mastermind.
  • Ascended from the Toku Base, Takumi Inui is a young loner who initially doesn't have any desires in life until the fateful day he crossed paths with Mari Sonoda, who originally holds the mysterious Faiz Gear in one journey where she is attacked by the Orphnoch, monsters who were who suddenly resurrects after their unfortunate deaths, due to her unable to use the Faiz Gear, she provide Takumi the gear that allows him to become Faiz to protect the humans from the rampaging Orphnochs. Later on he is revealed to be the Wolf Orphnoch since the Faiz Gear can only be worn by the Orphnochs. In battle, Takumi tends to flicks his right wrist whenever he fights as Faiz.
  • The other reason of how he ascended in the pantheon is due to his habit of flicking his wrist during battles. His other tics, kneeling before a Diving Kick, as well as only using Flying Side Kicks, landed him here as well.
  • Became friends with Hajime Hinata since both of them had experience of getting confused of who they are since Takumi revealed himself as the Wolf Orphnoch and Hajime revealed that he has another personality in the form of Izuru Kamukura until both of them gets better with their sheer resolve of moving on despite of who they are.
    • Also became close allies with Ryoga Kamishiro and Inori Yuzuhira since both of them also protecting their respective love ones despite their true natures (Ryoga being a Barian and Inori being a clone), much like Takumi's true nature as an Orphnoch.
  • Amusingly, his temple is in the shape of the dry cleaner shop that he took residence in for the series which he says is more associated with his herald Keitaro than him. This has led to no end bickering amongst Takumi and his two heralds. In fact, Takumi threatened to bring the matter to the Court, but the matter was obviously too trivial for them to accept. Takumi thus rarely spends time in his own temple. Keitaro, though, runs the dry cleaning service as per normal, though he washes clothes for Gods now.
  • Became friends with Kagome Higurashi since the Rider reminds her a bit of Mari while at the same time, Kagome reminds Takumi of her husband Inuyasha probably due to them had similarities associated with the enemies they fought.
    • He also forms a rather odd friendship with Inuyasha since both of them have their names associated with the Japanese word for "dogs", while at the same time Takumi pities him since he resides in the Fallen as both him and Kagome tries to work to bring Inuyasha out of the Fallen as possible.
  • Has become friends with Rosette Christopher since both of them happens to be harsh to their love ones until they grow nicer to them. Also, Rosette remind him a bit of her friend/lover Chrono due to Takumi being an Orphnoch and Chrono being a Demon who had rebelled and fought their own kind.
  • He has somewhat gets along with the Teen Titans, especially Dick Grayson since both of them are street-level heroes clad in black and rides a motorcycle in battle and both of them had a serious issues with their respective rivals, Victor Stone as both of them uses technology in battle (Takumi being the main user of the Faiz Gear and Cyborg being a reconstructed human), and Rachel Roth since both of them started out as somewhat harsh to their friends until they grows nicer and became open to them.
  • Also became friends with Makoto Kenzaki as both of them started out as loners who were later became close to their respective friends after spending with them for a long time in their respective stories.
  • Became close friends with the players of Sword Art Online, especially with Kirito since both of them happens to be a heroic Blood Knights, and Asuna since some of her traits (being a Tsundere and a Dude Magnet) reminding him a bit of Mari.
  • He also gets along with Mami Tomoe since both of them had a similar death experience in their respective lives as well as both happened to resent themselves for failing to save a lives of their love ones.
  • Became close allies with Jin Kazama and Shu Ouma as both of them at some point they pretend to be jerks to isolate themselves with their respective friends.
  • He became very close to Ryuko Matoi since both of them battling villains while their traits had connection with the villains that they fought. Takumi is also surprised that Ryuko's Life Fiber Synchronized Form also glows red lines in her fighting form which is kind of similar to his Rider Form's light-up features.
  • Also became close friends with Ange as he feels sympathy for her after learning her backstory as a former princess of the Misurugi Empire before she fell from grace due her nature as a Norma before she was sent to fight the DRAGONs and became an aloof person since Ange and her fellow Normas were being discriminated for being "monsters" in her own universe. Upon learning this, Takumi swears to her if they treat her like a "monster", he will fight back against them.
  • Loathes Ryoma Sengoku for two reasons, for being involved with the Yggdrasill Corporation by creating Rider Belts for their own research and his own agenda of grabbing the Forbidden Fruit by any means. Also gaining his hatred towards the Trollkaigers since the group consists of the most villainous individuals, which he sees them as no different from the Lucky Clover.
  • He was very furious of Monokuma after learning of his actions of being the one who initiates the "High School of Mutual Killings" at Hope's Peak Academy, his utter rage towards Monokuma makes the bear for being no different to the likes of Kyoji Murakami.
  • While making a lot of allies in the pantheon, he also made enemies too, this includes Vector and Re-Class since both of them uses their own Memetic Hand Gestures through saluting while both of them being jerks and evil respectively. Also gets annoyed at the likes of Sora Shuin'in since he reminds him too much of Kusaka.
  • Sympathizes with his predecessor Shinji Kido, as Shinji only found the resolve to kill at his death. Thus, while he would've made different decisions, he doesn't consider him a bad person either way.
  • Years later, he aids his successors Drive and Zeronos in resolving Stable Time Loop problems caused, shockingly, by him by accident. He died at the end of his battle against the Orphnochs, but Shocker used him as a catalyst to create the loops. He decided to end them, dying happy.

Dolan Dark
  • Lesser Gods
  • Symbol: A minecraft pickaxe (Grandayy) and a Duck (Dolan Dark)
  • Alignment: Chaotic Neutral
  • Portfolio: Animation Meme, Troll, Memetic Mutation, Vitriolic Best Buds
  • Domains: Memes, Animation, Mashup, Music, Gaming
  • Allies: Pyrocynical, QuackityHQ, H3H3 Productions, Steve, Crash Bandicoot, Robbie Rotten, Geralt of Rivia
  • Rivals: Donald Duck (Dolan Dark)
  • Enemies: Thanos, The Wither
  • Opposed by: Most Nintendo-related gods (Grandayy)
  • Conflicting Opinion: Ascended Medics and Doctors (Grandayy)
  • Grandayy and Dolan Dark are two youtubers specialized in the art of mixing and mashing memes, often without any logical sense whatsoever. These two meme lords simply found their way to the pantheon one day during a minecraft session, where their avatars were transported to Steve's temple and then later they found themselves in the pantheon proper. Given what they do, the Court of Gods only thought it was logical that they were given the position of Animation Meme.
  • While exploring the pantheon, they have discovered that besides them there are also several other Youtubers present alongside other fictional characters. Dolan initially heard that his friend Pyrocynical was present and went to visit him and Pyro was happy to have found someone he actually likes being around. Then Grandayy proceeded to taunt Pyro about Petscon 2 and he promptly left, cursing Grandayy on the way out.
    • Speaking of Pyro, Dolan and him are a lot closer than Pyro is to Grandayy but even then both have been involved in drama before. Dolan once thought it would be funny to do another "So guys, we did it" meme and as a result Pyro came to his house and stabbed him 250.000 times
  • Grandayy, and by extension Dolan, is honored to have met his greatest idols, Geralt of Rivia and Robbie Rotten. The two are mildly amused that his avatar is an amalgamation of the two and while they find Grandayy's job a little weird, they don't mind him being around.
  • The two have been feuding for a long time to see who is the greatest meme lord in Youtube. To that end, both have released an unique vinyl figure and whoever sold more would win the competition. Ultimately Dolan sold more figures but both remain good friends, having this feud be more of a Sitcom Archnemesis relationship than an actual emnity.
  • Dolan Dark, Pyrocynical and Quackity have collaborated in the past as judges for "Discord has Talent" and thought to repeat the feat by judging Pantheon deities for whatever weird quirks they could perform. Dolan and Quackity insisted on making it only for children just so they could say mean things to Pyro but relented once the latter threatened to leave.
  • Dolan is often confused with Donald Duck, possibly given his name slightly based on the latter. Being the Grumpy Bear he is, Donald doesn't like being associated with a memer and promptly told Dolan off and warned to not make fun of him. The youtuber ignored the warnings and decided to make a meme video on Donald anyway.
  • Believe it or not, Grandayy has a medical degree but decided to pursue memes full-time. Plenty of deities in the House of Physicians and even other doctors are dissapointed about his decission, saying that there would better career choices than that and Grandayy doesn't exactly disagree with them but he still likes to meme anyway.
  • If it wasn't obvious, both are huge Minecraft fans, so they were excited to finally meet Minecraft Steve in person. Grandayy took Steve through a tour around his home and Dolan joined them just to later pull a prank on Grandayy. They latter found out about The Wither being a deity and decided to raid its temple, which resulted in severe property damage around the House of Gaming that they later had to pay with V-Bucks. They had to call their friend Voiceoverpete to help them out pay the debt.
  • Grandayy always likes to taunt Thanos by asking him if he is from Fortnite. The titan always gets pissed at his insolence and has tried to kill him numerous times but was unsuccesful because apparently, Grandayy has the power of Teleportation. According to Dolan, he was allowed to ascend with the power of a Minecraft admin, don't ask.
  • Crash Bandicoot recognized these two as the ones that popularized the "Woah!" meme with several meme videos and edits they've made. Crash, not really aware of what a meme really is, thanked them for the videos and left, not realizing that everyone thinks he is an abnormal orange fox that only says "Woah!" in rapid succession.
  • Dolan, Grandayy and Pyrocynical once teamed up to make tier lists. One for Minecraft items and another for Gaming Companies. Grandayy came under fire when he placed Nintendo at a low tier and had to apologize but even then, some of the ascended Nintendo gods don't like him much.
  • Both are rumored to be just alternate accounts for PewDiePie and they have followed along and also claimed they are Pewdiepie but nobody is sure.

    Moon Man 
Moon Man, God of Memetic Psychopaths (Mac Tonight)
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/156956_162440267134164_100001045742803_316099_4485335_n.jpg
  • Lesser God
  • Symbol: His own head
  • Alignment: Neutral Evil
  • Portfolio: Memetic Psychopath Version of Mac Tonight, Has a Moon For A Head, Politically Incorrect Villain Protagonist, Gangsta Rap, Mainly Does Covers, For the Evulz, Laughably Evil
  • Domains: Moon, Racism, Sexism, KKK
  • Followers: Mr. Popo note , "Weegee", Tails Doll, Dolan
  • Allies: Calvin Candie, Red Skull
  • Enemies: BLACK PEOPLE, Jews, Muslims, basically every single minority, feminists, pedophiles, religious assholes
  • Teeth-Clenched Teamwork with: Stephen, Uncle Ruckus
  • Some people say that Moon Man ascended when he was selected as The First Presidential Meme of UNITINU. It was more of a joke, but the weird boost in attention let the Moon Man spawn in the Pantheon.
  • Most gods agree that Moon Man is NOT Mac Tonight. Moon Man has actually gone such a strong Memetic Mutation that he has become more of a status symbol of his own sign that he doesn't need to be associated with Mac Tonight.
  • When he is in his temple, he seems to like playing a piano in top of a giant hamburger, rapping all night long.
  • If it wasn't clear, he hates black people with passion. He has plans to kill every black god in the Pantheon as part of ethnic cleansing, before he points his guns at other minorities.
  • He likes Calvin really much, as while Moon Man thinks all black people are better dead, Calvin at least keeps them in check. That being said, he doesn't like Stephen (and in similar note, Uncle Ruckus), at all, but due of their attitude, they are low on his hit list.
  • Besides his hatred forwards minorities and feminists, he hates pedophiles and religious killing (and Pedophile Priests). It is mainly due of double standards: How it is wrong that people judge him for his raps, but those people get a way scot-free?
    • Notably he has intense hatred forwards Garterbelt, who is a black Pedophile Priest. Moon Man is considering scorching the whole damn House of Faith. That should get rid of most of the problems.
    • Note that he doesn't really like to be called a god since then he would sound like a hypocrite. He says that you should kill black people not because he is a god, but because it is the right thing to do.
  • Is annoyed that his buddies the KKK aren't present in the Pantheon (fortunately). So he instead has started trying to get along with the Nazi-related deities.
  • When it comes to different species, he hasn't decided on what to do with that. He rather focus on his current mission for now and think about it later.
  • Even though he is a man with a moon for a head, he is hardly associated with The Bringers Of Everlasting Night. Even they think that he is bit too much or don't care about his agenda while his own agenda wouldn't help them at all. Plus, he doesn't have that much to do with the Moon.
  • His opinion on Eric Cartman is sort of mixed. While he could be a great ally to drive his agenda forwards, he does consider him being not reliable enough to get him do what he wants to.

    Barry B. Benson 
Barry B. Benson, God of Meme-Based Popularity (B Boy, Freddy Benson, The one who sings jazz)
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/barry_b_benson.jpg
  • Quasideity
  • Symbol: His yellow and black shirt
  • Alignment: Lawful Good
  • Portfolio: Four-Legged Insect, Watch It for the Meme, Really Weird Aesops, Bee Version Of Jerry Seinfeld, Alliterative Name, Source Of Countless Memes, Being Both Male And A Worker Bee, Nice Guy, Interspecies Romance, Believes Humans Are Exploitative Of Bees And Their Honey (Well, At First), The Hero
  • Domains: Honey, Pollination, Bees, Memes, Equal Rights, Jazz
  • Followers: The Dover Boys, the Globglogabgalab
  • Allies:
  • On good terms with: The House of Food, flower-related deities
  • Rivals: Shrek (friendly with)
  • Enemies:
  • Opposed by: Nicolas Cage
  • Avoided by: Winnie the Pooh
  • Barry B Benson is one of many bees working the hive. Becoming bored with the day to day jobs, he wishes to be one of the Pollen Jocks and explore the human world. There he discovered what he saw as humanity exploiting the bees for their honey and natural products, and set to remedy this situation. The relationship between man and bee would be forever changed, and he became a crusader for equal rights for the bug world.
  • Barry would've fallen into obscurity were it not for the Bee Movie's reputation on the internet. Due to the...strangeness of the Bee Movie, it became popular in meme culture. If it's not reaction or other meme posts to the movie's silliness, it's usually edits going by "It's the Bee Movie But (insert here)", like this video. Or even the entire movie being read. Few, if any movies have become known due to memes alone like the Bee Movie.
  • Good friends with Shrek. Part of this is due to being Dreamworks protagonists, part of this is due to their popularity among internet memes. Though Shrek dislikes some of the memes about him, sometimes he has fun with it and competes for who's better at the Memetic Mutation. Or they work together, and that's when things got... really weird.
  • Asides from Shrek, he's also a friend with Donkey as he can sympathize with some of the hardships he faced for being a donkey. Plus like him, Donkey's in an Interspecies Romance. He's helped him to fight off Lord Farquaad due to his and Shrek's friendship.
  • Most people can't take the fact that he's dating Vanessa, a human, seriously. Vinny wonders if it really is hip to fuck bees, leading Barry to reply "a gentlebee never kisses and tells". He isn't sure what to think of his Bee Movie let's play.
  • Keeps getting the evil eye from Nicolas Cage due to both being a bee and being a Fountain of Memes. Gives him bad memories.
    Cage: "Ooh no-not the bees! NOT THE BEES!! AAAAAARRRGGHHH!!!!"
  • Sued the human race for their unlicensed use of honey and treatment of bees. This worked out pretty well, but unfortunately the bees got lazy and didn't need to do their job anymore due to all that honey. As such, he had to set things right. The human-bee relationship remains more mutually beneficial thanks to him, so that's something. This experience has led him to dislike Morris due to his Predatory Business exploiting others, as the bees used to be exploited.
  • His job leads him to spend a lot of time in the House of Plants, for the purposes of pollination. The Pollen Squad gets to visit the pantheon for some time to help with the pollination, and he's OK with selling some of the honey to the pantheon. Though a Nice Guy, he's come to dislike Poison Ivy due to her views on humans and plant-themed eco-terrorism. Or Flowey due to being a malicious flower. Though this isn't actually the case.
  • Though a worker bee, he is male with a stinger and has four limbs instead of six. Stinging people is still dangerous for him however, as his friend Adam Flayman lost his stinger and almost died from the experience. He would rather not bring up the fact that all the bees in the colony are related, though states that they're "distant cousins" and thus OK to date.
  • Found socializing in the House of Insects, due to being a bee. He got along swimmingly with Vespiquen, who started up a honey trade with his colony. Beedrill he was less thrilled due to seeing him and Vespiquen as competition, and was revolted to learn of Swarm being a Nazi bee swarm. Him and fellow Dreamworks insect Z got along as well due to their desire to strive for their own destiny and coming to terms with their position in the colony.
  • Tries to help the animal gods of the pantheon get their proper due from humanity through the legal system. To help with this, he's got Eliza Thornberry as a translator. He is trying to help Marlin overcome his fear of humans.
  • Likes jazz a lot, and will ask people if they do as well. He was upset to learn there was no jazz-related god in the House of Music, which he tried to remedy by playing jazz tunes there. Additionally his favorite singer is Bee-yonce, was skilled at rug-bee in college, is fond of Beecaso's artwork and his favorite book is the Great Gatsbee. Was happy to meet Gatsbee's human form and get an autograph for his book.
  • Seems to get along with Jerry Seinfeld, as he's essentially his bee equivalent. The rest of the Seinfeld gang get a bit weirded out when they talk to each other.
