  • Worthy Opponent: Hanzo Hasashi/Scorpion
  • Despises: Every ascended British-born deity in the Pantheon (as British soldiers killed his father)
  • Feared by: Guybrush Threepwood
  • Throughout the Pantheon, a man's insane laughter echoed throughout its many halls, which was followed by the following declaration: "Fear the name of the dread captain Cervantes!" For Taki, Sophitia and Ivy, a single, shared thought ran through their minds: "Well, shit." Cervantes de León has come to the Pantheon.
  • Notice the smaller sword in Cervantes' right hand? That's Nirvana (the longsword is called Acheron). It's also the main reason as to why Cervantes was able to ascend to his present station: it's a pistol-sword, the pistol itself is built into the hilt. Cervantes uses Nirvana to break deadlocks by shooting his opponents with an unblockable bullet.
  • The naming of the pistol-sword is pretty ironic, as 'Nirvana' to the Buddhists is the state of perfect blessedness which is gained by absorption of the soul into the Supreme Being. Even more funny when one realizes that Cervantes asorbs souls both to gain power and sustain his immortality, and he's cursed by the fact that he butchered his crew whilst under the influence of Soul Edge.
  • Has an intense hatred for all English-born deities. This stems from the fact that the British had killed his father, Captain Phillip de León, when he attempted to raid and plunder an English merchant ship (as he was tasked by the Spanish king to loot ships for the Kingdom of Spain), only to discover too late that it was a English warship which promptly blew him and his ship into oblivion.
  • He absolutely despises Taki and Sophitia as they are the ones who cut him down the first time and though he is biding his time until he gets Soul Edge before going after them again.
  • To say that he and Isabella Valentine don't get along is putting it mildly. Their mutual hatred of the other makes the rivalry between Sonya Blade and Kano look tame. Aside from the fact that Daddy tried to kill her in the past by asorbing her soul, Ivy is the product of a rape, as Cervantes had pulled a Gregor Cleagne and violated her mother, who was the daughter of the Black Tail Inn's owner (of whose inn Cervantes used as a hideout).
  • While Cervantes dislikes most of the deified pirates, he is allies with Gangplank. As it turns out Gangplank had idolized Papa de León, and is pleased to see his son ascend into the Pantheon.
  • Cervantes is not very happy with Guts in regards to him destroying Soul Edge during his battle with Nightmare. He now has a score to settle with the cursed knight.
  • Cervantes also has issues with those who wield enchanted blades. The Sons of Sparda, Maya Fallenegros, Ryu Hayabusa, Kenshi Takahashi and Nariko top that list. In his eyes, nothing is more powerful than Soul Edge.
  • While both Shang Tsung and Quan Chi are a tad miffed with Cervantes muscling in on their soul-stealing shtick, they know that Cervantes is a strong fighter, which is why the three men are allies. Their latest scheme involves Kitty Pryde, in which they wish to discover the location of the Black Vortex - an artifact which can amplify their powers to cosmic levels.
    • The trio also have their eyes on the host of the Phoenix Force, Hope Summers, as they believe that they can tame the power of the Phoenix to submit to their will.
  • Cervantes hangs around at both the House of Weapons and at the local taverns at the House of Crime. If there was one rival pirate that's No.1 on his list, then Isabela of Rivain tops that list. Monkey Luffy is tied for the No.2 spot.
  • There are similarities between Cervantes and Scorpion Hanzo Hasashi. Both had been slain, transformed into the undead, only to be revived once again. He also heard from Quan Chi about how he had ripped his head off, and the pirate is intrigued. He now sees Hanzo as the ultimate opponent.
  • He may no longer be an undead pirate, buy Guybrush has an feeling that things may change for the worst. And the more likely that Cervantes reverts back, the more likely that his enemy LeChuck ascends into the Pantheon.
  • (evil cackle) "COME WITH ME TO HELL!!"

    Sam Gideon 
Sam Gideon, God of Multi-Purpose Guns
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/rsz_sam_gideon.png
  • Intermediate God
  • Symbol: The ARS helmet
  • Alignment: Neutral Good
  • Portfolio: Badass Bookworm, Powered Armor that can Overheat in certain circumstances, Smoking Is Cool, Clothes Make the Superman
  • Domains: Armor, Weapons
  • Herald: Elena Ivanova
  • Allies: Master Chief, Iron Man, John Henry Irons, The ascended Griffon & Kryuger T-Dolls
  • Enemies: Imran Zakhaev, Vladimir Makarov, Senator Armstrong, SKYNET, The Corpus
  • Sam Gideon is a researcher for DARPA and one of the minds behind the Augmented Reaction Suit, a powered armor suit that can enter AR mode and increase the reflexes of the wearer and slide to certain places faster thanks to boosters on the suit. When the Order of the Russian Star seizes control of a space colony and threatens to use the colony’s microwave transmitter to threaten cities to gain more power, it’s up to Sam to use the suit’s capabilities and work with Bravo Company, led by the grizzled Lt. Colonel Robert Burns, to prevent another catastrophe from happening. Besides the ARS, Sam has access to the BLADE weapons system, which can scan any sort of firearm nearby and transform into that gun for Sam to use, though there’s only enough space for three different firearms for Sam to use at any given time.
  • As Sam was busy making some adjustments to the ARS based on how it performed during his time taking on the Order of the Russian Star, he received word of some strange planets coming up on the ship he and Elena were traveling on. Sam guessed that the ship was going through a dimension he wasn’t familiar with and eventually, he and Elena arrived at a planet that seemed to resemble Earth, but was different from what they knew about it. They ended up arriving at a bad time since some terrorists were attempting a takeover of a nearby space station, and the ship happened to receive the SOS the space station was transmitting. Sam then stepped into action with his ARS suit and helped the crew inside stop the terrorists from taking over. The space station crew thanked Sam for helping out and told him about the Pantheon, a place that Sam felt was going to be very interesting to say the least.
  • Since his initial mission using the ARS Suit, it has gone through a few upgrades to enable better performance than it had before. It is able to enter AR mode for slightly longer periods of time and the cooldown period has been shortened a little, though it still hasn’t prevented the suit from overheating on its own in certain hotter locations. As for the BLADE weapons system, the Pantheon has plenty of weapons that Sam hasn’t used before and while it is now able to scan some weapons that are new to Sam, the three weapon limit is still in place. With all the events that take place in the Pantheon, it’s only given Sam more of an incentive to make sure the suit is at its full potential.
  • One of the more notable creators of Powered Armor in the Pantheon was Tony Stark, and Iron Man himself was interested in seeing the ARS himself after seeing it in action. From what Tony could tell, the ARS suit was much more focused on ground mobility and the BLADE weapons system was there to make up for directly installed firepower on the ARS. Sam met Tony one time to get a good look at some of the suits that Tony made and was impressed with what he saw. Tony has sometimes worked with Sam both on the missions the latter takes part of and to help suggest improvements to the ARS suit. John Henry Irons, another deity who created a powered armor suit, was another deity who Sam got along with, especially after learning of how noble of a man Steel is and how he used his background as a former weapons designer to good use.
  • Given his involvement with Bravo Company and him using an advanced suit of armor to shoot up a wide array of enemies, many believe that Sam is a space marine. Although that wasn’t the case and him working with Bravo Company was because he was assigned to do so, it didn’t stop Sam from getting along with other, actual space marines, with most of them being more noble than Robert Burns was. Master Chief was a space marine that Sam has worked with a number of times and even though Master Chief has gone through a lot more hardships than Sam ever did, Sam considers John-117 to be a very skilled soldier in just about every regard.
  • The ARS suit and the BLADE weapons system have been sought out by some morally corrupt deities looking to use technology as a means to gain more power. Senator Armstrong, who has been seeking advanced tech as a means to further power, found potential in what Sam Gideon was researching and soon enough, Desperado LLC. had targeted Sam quite often in a number of attempts to steal his research and as a result, Sam has fought some of Armstrong’s subordinates a handful of times. The Corpus was another group that was interested in what Sam has designed, mainly to be used to improve their own creations, and has attacked him at times whenever Sam is trying to complete a mission of some kind. Sam has made it clear that what he came up with doesn’t deserve to end up in the wrong hands and that things would get a lot worse if it did happen.
  • As Sam had to stop evil Russians from using a dangerous weapon for their own gain, it didn’t take him that long to learn of other ruthless Russians in the Pantheon that engage in terrorism. Even if Sam is much more powerful than the likes of Imran Zakhaev or Vladimir Makarov in terms of firepower, it didn’t change the fact that the two aren’t to be taken lightly and that their time in the Pantheon likely made them aware of weapons much more powerful than what they were used to, including what Sam utilizes. Imran and Vladimir are doing what they can to keep their distance from Sam and hinder him from afar should he end up getting involved in a mission to stop them.
  • While his initial mission involved stopping a renegade group of humans, much of what Sam had to shoot up were a bunch of robots and advanced technology coming from his enemies. In the Pantheon, not only were renegade humans a recurring problem, but the fact that groups consisting entirely of machines dedicated to wiping out humanity exist was something that Sam found to be just as dangerous as his regular adversaries, if not moreso. He has ended up fighting some of SKYNET’s mechanical troops a handful of times and although he hasn’t encountered the mainframe of SKYNET yet, he really doesn’t want to imagine a world where the mechanical troops he’s fought several times become dominant over humans or vanquish them entirely.
  • Despite its limitations, the BLADE weapons system is one of the more versatile weapons designed in the Pantheon thanks to the number of guns it has stored in its hard drive. While he often had to fight back against those looking to take it for themselves and mass-produce it for malicious means, he was able to find other deities with access to a versatile weapon of their own. He was surprised to learn that Komaru Naegi used what amounted to a weaponized megaphone on her journeys, but was impressed by how it was able to help her and Toko Fukawa across Towa City. Copen, another individual who used a multi-purpose weapon, albeit one that can copy powers from Adepts, a type of superpowered individual, ended up being interesting for Sam, especially after finding out that Copen used a couple of different powered armor suits of his own, but Copen’s ruthlessness and him generally being aloof in general meant that Sam wasn’t really able to meet up with him much, if at all.
  • Lt. Colonel Robert Burns, the soldier Sam was working with in finding the microwave transmitter, turned out to have a different goal in mind, mainly to use it to destroy the Russians rather than destroying the weapon entirely. While their fight ended with Burns allowing Sam to escape in order to destroy the transmitter, Sam wasn’t the only one in the Pantheon to have had to deal with a treacherous ally and some of what those particular deities dealt with didn’t end nearly as well as what happened between Sam and Burns. Griffon & Kryuger Security, a company which has plenty of its Tactical Dolls in the Pantheon, supposedly received help from an ultranationalist military branch from the New Soviet Union from their world, only to end up backstabbed by the KCCO and wound up in conflict with them. When Sam decided to visit G&K, he was surprised to see what those T-Dolls were and how they’re named after various guns, but maintained good terms with them to the point that they’ve helped each other on missions and in turn, those T-Dolls have given Sam some data on their respective guns so that the BLADE weapons system can gain potential future compatibility with those guns.

  • Intermediate Goddess
  • Symbol: Her large scroll
  • Theme Song: Her theme
  • Alignment: Chaotic Good
  • Portfolio: Wields Multiple Ranged Weapons, Anime Chinese Girl, Arms Dealer, Butt-Monkey, Flechette Storm, Hyperspace Arsenal, Can effectively wield weapons that she has no prior knowledge on, Skilled at using close-range weapons, which she also frequently uses as throwing weapons, Odango Hair, Plucky Girl, Tomboy with a Girly Streak
  • Domains: Ranged Weapons, Ninjutsu
  • Allies:
  • Rivals: Rodin, Marcus Kincaid
  • Enemies: The Shredder, Leopold Goenitz
  • Conflicting Opinion: Mr. Mundy the Sniper
  • Since her time as a student in the Academy, Tenten admired the legendary kunoichi Tsunade, one of the Sannin, and desired to become just like her, a goal which she openly shared to others. After graduating from the Academy, Tenten was assigned to Team Guy alongside Rock Lee and Neji Hyuga. Tenten initially attempted to emulate Tsunade and become a medical-nin, but her efforts repeatedly failed. Eventually, Tenten discovered her talent for Sealing Jutsu and thus developed her own unique fighting style, which involves storing a numerous amount of weapons into her scrolls and later unsealing them to bombard her opponents. Realising her own nature, she stopped trying to become like Tsunade, but did not give up on her dream of becoming a legendary kunoichi in her own right. Following the end of the Fourth Great Ninja War, Tenten's hobby of collecting every type of ninja tool from across the world escalated to the point she opened a weapons shop to sell the tools, though it's nearly always empty due to the peaceful era.
  • Tenten initially entered the pantheon as a follower of Yamcha, due to how often she occasionally tends to suffer and be humiliated, as well as Yusuke Fujisaki and Hime Onizuka, due to how she frequently ends up being the Straight Man among her team. Eventually, her talent for weaponry was noticed and after giving a demonstration of her excellent markmanship skills in which she hit 100/100 marks each time, she was allowed to enter the pantheon. She quickly reunited with Rock Lee and Might Guy, who greeted her in their typical enthusiastic manner, much to her exasperation. Afterwards, she opened up a weapons shop inside her temple, hoping that she would have better luck selling ninja tools in the pantheon.
  • She quickly befriended the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, who were quite impressed by her ability to wield each of their weapons with great efficiency. She enjoys spending time with them, but is rather disappointed that none of them can buy weapons from her shop due to not having any money. However, her friendship with the Turtles also resulted in her becoming enemies with the Shredder, who regards her as a threat to him.
  • She gets along quite well with Link, who, although he doesn't practice ninjutsu, is known for wielding numerous weapons in each incarnation. She was impressed by the fact that he owns several weapons that she had never seen before, including several supernatural ones.
  • When Tenten heard of Sakuya Izayoi, a Ninja Maid who is similarly known for throwing large barrages of knives, she sought her out and challenged her to a battle in order to compare their abilities. However, the battle ended pretty quickly due to Sakuya's ability to stop time. Nonetheless, they remain on good terms and Tenten intends to challenge her again someday.
  • Tenten has also formed a friendship with Sakura Kasugano, as the two bonded over how they're fangirls of someone. However, while Sakura copied all of Ryu's moves, Tenten differentiated herself from Tsunade after discovering her own talent with weapons. Due to their mutual respect for one another, the two are frequently seen training together.
  • Tenten's perfect marksmanship drew the attention of various snipers and archers in the pantheon, who wished to see her in action. She became good friends with Shino Asada/Sinon, who invited her to join in playing GGO and ALO in order to see how good she is. Surprisingly, Tenten didn't really struggle much with understanding the concept of an MMORPG, as videogames also exist in her own world, and is interested in playing both games to see what it's like. She has also earned the respect of archers such as Hawkeye, Green Arrow and Hanzo Shimada due to not only being surprisingly proficient at archery, but also having achieved that profiency in a very short time. Her interactions with Mr. Mundy are a bit less friendly, not only due to his cold attitude, but also his strained relationship with Sinon. However, he has aknowledged and complimented her excellent marksmanship and she, in turn, has developed an interest in firearms, as they don't exist in her world.
  • Tenten was amazed by the Tenno upon meeting them, as they're (primarily) ninjas and wield a whole plethora of weapons both ranged and melee. She was particularly impressed by how some of the weapons they use weren't even originally intended to be weapons, yet the Tenno still found a lethal use for them anyways. However, she was disappointed to learn that they would not be frequent customers in her shop, as most of the time they make their own gear in their ships thanks to Ordis.
  • Due to fortune-telling being her hobby, Tenten became friends with other fortune-tellers such as Madame Xanadu, Chihaya Mifune and, surprisingly, Amy Rose (who uses her fortune telling skills primarilly to know whether or not she is destined to meet Sonic). They all occasionally meet up to hold fortune-telling sessions.
  • Tenten also quickly became friends Momoko Akatsutsumi and Biscuit Krueger due to their shared attraction to Pretty Boys. Unlike them, however, Tenten is bit more cautious and generally tries to make sure that the boys she pursues are, in fact, boys, as she had once mistakenly become attracted to one who later turned out to be a girl.
  • Being a weapon seller, Tenten became something of a rival for arms dealers such as Rodin and Marcus Kincaid. However, the fact that she exclusively sells ninja tools has prevented them from developing any kind of outward antagonism, as she is unlikely to interfere in their respective businesses.
  • Still wanting to have a rematch with Temari, Tenten decided to overcome her weakness against wind-based opponents. As a result, she befriended Joe Higashi and frequently spars with him. However, she also became enemies with Leopold Goenitz, a wind-based follower of Orochi who became intrigued by Boruto after seeing his destiny.
  • When not running her shop, Tenten spends most of her at the Armory and the House of Weapons, frequently looking for either new weapons to collect or to witness the various weapon users in action.

Xiahou Yuan (style name: Miaocai), God of Bow and Close Combat Mastery (The Happy General, Miaocai, Marquis Min, Enjeru)
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/XiahouYuan_7653.jpg
  • Lesser God
  • Symbol: His Bow and Club/Sword
  • Alignment: True Neutral
  • Portfolio: Bow and Close Combat Mastery, A little fat yet powerful, improbable accuracy
  • Domains: Archery, War
  • Herald: Xiahou Ba (his son)
  • Allies: Cao Cao, Xiahou Dun, Oda Nobunaga, Sanada Nobuyuki & Inahime
  • Rivals: Huang Zhong, Clint Barton/Hawkeye, Oliver Queen/Green Arrow, Liu Bei, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei
  • Enemies: Lu Bu, the Demonic Oda Nobunaga, Lucifer
  • He ascended after demonstrating his skill but taking out many enemy soldiers with his bow and club.
    • Gods who are verse in the Asian ports of his current portrayal find it fascinating in that his primary prior clubs have referenced the nine constellations of heaven. Xiahou Miaocai himself is proud of such a motif.
  • He's not too pleased to hear that Huang Zhong might make it to the pantheon though he would gladly take this opportunity to even the score with that old man. He only teamed up with his hated rival along with Slyvanas Windrunner, Hawkeye and Green Arrow in order to challenge the Gunslinger Quartet and show them that archers are just as good as any other gunmen. This legendary fight lead to the formation of the Five Great Archers of the Pantheon.
    • However, some people may deem Huang Zhong and him to get along as friends due to Xiahou Yuan's more jolly nature. It eventually came into true fruition ever since their war against Orochi. Xiahou Yuan is even amused in that Huang Zhong is even curious about the qualities of his son, Xiahou Ba. Yuan wishes that Huang Zhong wouldn't be so stubborn and would ask for help more often from people like him.
  • Like Cao Cao, he also dislikes this Nobunaga because of his unpleasant nature and reprehensible actions compared to the one he worked with. Thankfully for him, the Nobunaga he knew of arrived, giving him an ease in mind.
  • He is happy to join his lord and Dun and together they will end the chaos. Namely the GUAC, in particular.
  • He has come to terms that he's related with Zhang Fei of Shu via marriage between his niece and Zhang Fei's. While at first pissed that the marriage might not be one of consent and a certain crime was involved, he eventually calmed himself down and decided that there's no decisive evidence about that crime to mull it over. However, it did pique his curiosity, and when he found out from Cao Cao that there was a realm that worshipped them while being hateful on Shu for being whitewashed by Luo Guanzhong, even Xiahou Yuan wouldn't mind putting an Enemy Mine with Zhang Fei, since he can't let such hypocritical yet powerful claims bring chaos to the land.
    • He's also considering bringing Huang Zhong along for the ride just as their form of "bringing out the big guns", just in case.
      • Though after looking at his distant relative, Zhang Xingcai, Xiahou Yuan has said to himself with a few chuckles "I wonder if my niece just made Zhang Yide rather henpecked...? That Xingcai must've picked it up from her, heheheheheh....that's my niece for ya." *Small trolly smile in the distance*
  • Is rather notably getting along with his Distaff Counterpart portrayal by the name of Qiulan/Shuuran, and is quite proud of her fighting game debut; he hopes one day to give her a session in the arts of wielding a straight club just as well as he can.
  • Whenever he speaks in Japanese, people are surprised to find out that his pronoun usage is "ore-sama" while also being anything but an Arrogant Kung-Fu Guy. His jolly happy smile also seems to be quite infectious as it is shiny.
