Philosophy

The House of Philosophy is essentially a massive forum where deities can gather and debate their points of view. The place has a rather Roman feel to it, with a large open plaza littered with Roman-style buildings, fountains, plants, and other elements one would expect in a large, well maintained park. The House is open to any deity, and many are encouraged to come here to resolve their issues with their words rather than their fists. The deities that make their home here, however, spend the majority of their time plumbing the depths and mysteries of life, the universe, and everything.

Ever since the Court ruled it as such, the four Alignment Incarnations (Cosmos, Melkor, YHVH and Lucifer) are no longer part of this House, but still retain honorary membership.

The Philosophy Endorsers

Aslan

Aslan, God of Religious Metaphors (King Of Beasts, The Lion, The Lamb)

Greater God
Symbol: A White Lamb...no, wait, a Lion...no wait, a lamb!
Alignment: Lawful Good
Portfolio: Messianic Archetypes, Talking Animals, Theories Involving Purgatory, Extremely Forthright Symbolism.
Domains: Animal, Glory, Good, Law.

Enemies: Jadis, Scar, YHVH, Lucifer, Robot Santa, Ithaqua
Sure, there are other Jesus metaphors. Who did you think they worked for?
- Someone called Brian has attracted several followers who believe him to be the God of Jesus Metaphors. However, Brian is not a Messianic Archetype, he's a very naughty boy.
- Suspiciously vulnerable against knives (the subtler, the more dangerous).
  - Be ye warned, anything called "subtle" is, by definition... not very subtle.
Scar nominally opposes Him and is said to be working to overthrow Him, but really... he knows he has no chance in Hell.
Leader of the Council of Nine.
Just shook his head in dismay upon learning about that trek to find Malachite's Hand and who dressed up as him.
Aslan has symphonized with Kevin Flynn and the unascended John Carter over their respective film franchises suffering Genre-Killer and having planned sequels cancelled just because the films didn't make enough money. In addition, Sly Cooper has stated that he's on the same boat since his franchise is unlikely to ever get sequels, and he's stuck in Ancient Egypt.
Being a fantastic representation of Jesus Christ, Aslan can only "hate" evil and nothingness in themselves, whether it be personified as the Leaders of the Alliances that oppose peace, justice and universal kindness. In fact, Aslan has already predicted the ultimate triumph of Good, even before he was accepted in the Pantheon. Needless to say, YHVH, Melkor and Nekron were angry and confronted Aslan about it. He merely said.
The nature of your defeat is quite simple: none of you respond to love. Lucifer can only understand freedom as a prize, not a right. YHVH responds only to things that can be weighed or measured. He imposes law, he doesn't nurture it. He appraises order; he doesn't bother to seek out its truth or meaning. And Melkor lives in a mirror; the world is nothing more to him than a reflection of himself. And Nekron... the world, to him, is a small animal, caught in a trap, to be tormented. His pleasure is the giving of pain, and from this, he receives the same sense of fulfillment most people get from a kiss or an embrace. You're caricatures, all of you. Gods or not, you're caricatures. And this is why you are destined to lose.
- For that speech, Lorien smiled and congratulated Aslan, while Jean-Luc Picard and the Enterprise crew delivered a standing ovation. Aslan was even accepted into the ranks of the Grand United Alliance of Good. Cosmos, aware of his reputation, offered to cede leadership of the Alliance to him, but Aslan replied, as he is too humble to be an active leader.
- Much to the shock of those listening, however, Lucifer listened calmly and intently to his advice. Much to their horror, he accepted Aslan's words but gave a warning of his own.
Lucifer: Indeed I do Aslan. For it was only through earning my right to freedom that humanity was able to be saved from our shared Creators YHVH grasp, even as I fell from heaven as the price. To say that one mustn't earn one's freedom even when it is all but stripped away leaves one only with despair and complacency, as humans will give up to their freedom for false safety in societal order. Make no mistake, humans can have freedom, but for every individual, that word has a different meaning, even one of order that humans strive for can be ideal so long as gods do not exist to choke the freedom in such a state. Yet there are two things you truly do misunderstand about me. Heed me well, to say I am a caricature incapable of responding to love is the same kind of mentality YHVH, Nekron, and Melkor have. For if I did not respond to Love I could not conceive my many children with their human mothers and fathers, nor create one by myself, and if I did not know of the love of Friendship I could not be summoned and incarnated in forms when heroes have needed aid through the bonds of their friends. I am contradiction incarnate, I am mankind's eternal protector, and its eternal adversary. I will save humans when they need it, and I will be struck down when humans need it. That is my nature.
Also has a seat in Real and Legendary Pastiches.

The Goddess of Truth, Diana of Themyscira, better known as Wonder Woman, is the owner of the Lasso of Truth, an artifact with the ability to force people to tell the truth. Those who try to resist will experience incredible pain. Even without her lasso, anybody in Diana's presence is more honest then they normally would be.
Diana's origins are a bit harder to determine nowadays. Once thought to have been molded out of clay by her mother Hippolyta, it was revealed that that was just a lie to cover up that she was actually the daughter of Zeus. Others say that she may be the byproduct of her mother and Hercules. There are even those who believe that Hades could be her father in one way or another. If all of this isn't confusing enough, Diana at one point ended up on a fake version of Themyscira, its Amazons, her mother, and even the Olympian Gods. She also learned that it's been years since she was last in her true home after leaving its shores. This shocking revelation was so disheartening that she ended up in a mental hospital.
Wonder Woman has a good relationship with fellow DC heroine Supergirl. Supergirl respects Wonder Woman for being the first female super-hero, and Diana values Kara because she is one of the strongest women on the planet and uses her powers for good (even if Diana thinks the young Kryptonian needs guidance, counsel and warrior training). Both women have enjoyed many adventures together and fought hand-in-hand.
Has had trysts with both Superman and Batman. The former was retconned out of continuity, while the latter didn't pan out due to Bruce being too committed to his role as Batman. She still remains good friends as co-founder of the Justice League.
When Diana first saw Usagi Tsukino, her first thought was how cute the moon princess was. The feeling was mutual as Usagi thought the Amazon Princess was beautiful. The two superheroines have spent considerable time together while complementing the others' attributes ever since. They've even told each other stories about some of their enemies.
- This came in handy when she helped Ichigo Kurosaki and Lin Beifong apprehend Shukuro Tsukishima for a series of attempted crimes, and his Lasso of Truth-compelled explanation of his motives portrayed a completely different fate than what Ichigo remembered of his afterlife (Ichigo had not seen Shukuro and his fallen comrades again in Hell, but rather in Soul Society, where they even helped him against his latest enemy). Investigating further, she and Beifong found footage of Tsukishima being accosted by the "faceless robe" of his story, who she instantly recalled as Death Phantom or Wiseman from Usagi's stories. This led back to Sailor Moon and her comrades, who confirmed Ichigo's history and purged Death Phantom's influence from Tsukishima's mind. While Tsukishima's claimed to have no harmful intentions since then and harbors clear and visible hatred for Death Phantom, Wonder Woman is not sure whether he can be trusted.
She learned about another person who embodies the concept of truth. To her surprise, that person was actually a pony named Applejack. She didn't dwell on that for very long once she got to know the apple farmer, realizing that they share many things in common like being strong, determined females who are loyal to their friends and family. Also, they are experts in the lasso.
Diana once found out that she has a villainous equivalent self in an alternate universe where Superman is a tyrant and reigns with an iron hand. However, Diana travelled to said universe and defeated her villainous Regime self and now she's training better to avoid becoming a villainess, especially upon hearing that said Evil Counterpart has only gotten worse.
Initially had a very hard time getting used to seeing Hercules as a boisterous yet virtuous fighter, thanks to the one in her universe being power-hungry, scheming, and at one time ravaging Themiscyra as Hippolyta's conqueror and rapist � and a few moments of contrite atonement in between those many acts. It's gotten easier with time as she's seen how much nicer, if still boisterous, he is. Not only that, any sexual advances he does pursue are done with the utmost respect.
Many have wondered whether or not Diana "bats for both teams". While she has been in relationships with men, she did grow up on an island populated with only just females. Not to mention her strong chemistry with other females � heroes and villains alike. As it turns out, she was quite the lady killer back home.
Many have questioned why someone who could fly would own a jet plane, much less an invisible one. There was also confusion on the Invisible Jet being invisible while leaving its occupants visible which made it look even more useless. That technical flaw was fixed. Diana does justify its use by saying she only uses it on espionage missions or when she wants to transport others around the world.
- Another aspect of hers that many questions is her costume. Why would a society of females rooted in Greek mythology have a uniform based on the United States flag? Were they somehow updated on the countries of man's world enough to know which nation would be an ideal entry point? Was it the flag that was instead based on Diana's uniform? Or were the two designs just similarly inspired? Whatever the case, just don't question the overall design of her suit.
Some scientists have been trying to discover the secret to Wonder Woman's skill in deflecting bullets with her bracers. They argue that speed and reaction time isn't enough; she'd have to be knowledgeable enough in ballistic trajectories to ensure that every bullet she's deflecting doesn't end up breaking into shrapnel, or � if it does � break in a way that would not harm her or anyone behind.
Has a very interesting contrasting duality of being an advocate of peace and love yet also a fierce warrior. One day she's defending the rights of people and the next she's driving her sword into a demon's head. Not helping matters is that she is seen by some to be too violent compared to Superman and Batman. And some will never let her live down how she killed Maxwell Lord. Despite these criticisms, Diana won't apologize for who she is and will continue to help others. This earns her the respect of Mega Man X.
Always the champion for equal rights of all genders, Diana opposes anyone who would dare revoke them. Regardless of whether those opposers are men or women.
Has nothing but respect for Peggy Carter for being a capable woman during a time when females hardly got the respect they deserve. Through her friendship with her, she became friends with Steve Rogers, a fellow hero who fought in a World War. The three find it chilling that during the World War they all knew a Steve who sacrificed themselves in the act of taking down a plane containing deadly weapons in their respective universes.
- Related to Steve Trevor, whenever Captain Kirk goes on covert missions using his younger avatar, Diana feels compelled to go along.
Many Gods had a good chuckle when she teamed up with the Powerpuff Girls and Bubbles mentioned they hoped to be as "well developed" as her. This caused the Amazon to be slightly embarrassed and to cross her arms around her chest.
Has gained followers amongst some members of the Adepta Sororitas who look up to the Amazon and her strength. Diana has welcomed them with open arms and has been training them in the Amazon ways.
Diana is often considered one of the most beautiful super-heroines in her own universe. This has garnered her many admirers in the Pantheon, particularly Johnny Bravo who used his standard pick up lines. Not really flattered, yet at the same time not wanting to hurt him, the Amazon used her Lasso of Truth to restrain him. It also revealed a very embarrassing secret.
Diana has mentioned she has a bit of a kinky side to herself as she enjoys bondage play. Considering the way she handles her Lasso, nobody is surprised. She became friends with both Ally and Lisa who are also into safe bondage practice.
One of Diana's most admirable traits, but also her most fatal flaw, is her determination. While her spirit will never break and continue to fight, her body is another story, as it will give out at a certain point. Bardock credits her for having the fighting spirit of a Saiyan, but given the difference between how his kind used that fighting spirit in the past versus how many of them use it now, she's not sure how to take that.
One of the few deities to have actually dealt with battling true Gods. Her most frequent opponent is Ares, the God of War. The two have clashed multiple times in the past and continue to do so in the Pantheon. Ares isn't the only evil Greek God Diana has battled as she fought with both Hades at one point. And while she never fought them, Diana has become enemies to other evil true Gods like Amatsu-Mikaboshi and Bandos. There are those who believe that Diana could kill them as she is a true God Killer.
Diana has the special position of being Athena's own Personal Champion that she calls on to handle missions dealing with the Gods. Diana was surprised to learn that her Patron Goddess had a daughter in Annabeth Chase. She warmed up to the Demigoddess very easy since she was a fierce fighter. She also took a shine to Percy Jackson as a fellow warrior.
- Diana has made more allies of these types like the angel Pit whose Goddess, Palutena, reminds her of Athena, if a bit more playful. She also allied herself with Bell Cranel whose Goddess was Hestia, though she was perplexed with the way he described her.
Many were surprised to learn that both Diana and Xena don't have the best standing relationship. Many thought they would make great allies since they are both such fierce warrior women. Many even remark how the two even sound alike. The bad blood centers on Xena being responsible for the Deaths of the Olympian Gods.
Analysis of Wonder Woman's sword showed that it's potentially more awesome than thought, given that it's stated to be capable of carving the electrons off an atom. It's even capable of harming Superman.
Has become good friends with the Crystal Gems. She is helping them with combat training, moral support, and overcoming past grief.
- When she had Steven grasp the Lasso of Truth as she held it, Diana found a kindred spirit: one with a near-boundless sense of love and value of truth. But she found something more as she probed the depths of his being; the former life of Rose Quartz. Or rather, Pink Diamond, the youngest of one of four gem overlords, who faked her death in a rebellion she masterminded to spare the planet Earth. This half-Diamond parentage of Steven's and conflict with the other Diamonds reminded Diana of her own divine parentage and tribulations dealing with her half-brother Ares. Diana was impressed with how Steven managed to solve everything diplomatically, as, in spite of being less reticent towards killing than Batman or Superman, she would rather redeem even her worst opponents. She sympathizes with the Gems' grief over all the secrets kept by Rose/Pink Diamond which caused much collateral damage.
- Connie was awestruck at the sight of Diana, and wanted some fencing lessons and for her to sign some of her comics, all of which Diana graciously obliged.
- Even having handily defeated all of the Gems, she finds them impressive at what they do and admires the love they have for one another, particularly Garnet and her components, Ruby and Sapphire. She has taken it upon herself to convince Amethyst not to be so hard on herself regarding her origin, or being an imperfect quartz, and letting Pearl know that even without Rose Quartz, she will never be alone as long as she has her fellow Gems. She has given Steven lessons in shielding as well and trained him with the Lasso of Truth. At one point, she encouraged the Gems to fuse and show off their moves. And then something interesting happened: when Steven still had the Lasso in hand, he and Amethyst fused into Smoky Quartz and did a triple lasso lariat. Upon realizing, and then getting a little mischievous, Quartz ensnared the nearby Peridot, Lapis Lazuli and Pearl, followed by each of them uttering rather uncomfortable secrets about mutual attractions. Pearl, coming back to, yelled at Quartz to apologize to Diana for using her tool in such an indecent manner. Amethyst immediately de-fused and repeatedly apologized to Diana, who just laughed the whole thing off. Diana had an idea and invited the Gems along with Connie and Steven to Thermyscira. Hippolyta and the other Amazons were initially skeptical, but Diana managed to convince them their missions were practically one and the same. Diana was able to convince the Gods to make a special lasso for Steven, though that may take an indefinite amount of time. The Crystal Gems have been welcomed as Honorary Amazons, and they frequently visit for combat and revelry, and also in Connie's case, study.
Diana has fought Kratos on a number of occasions due to Hera being one of the main targets of his murderous hatred of the Olympic Gods. To make matters worse, ever since her longtime enemy and former friend Barbara Ann Minerva ascended to the Pantheon, Kratos has been trying to kill her claim her fur. Ever since transforming into Cheetah, Barbara has hated Diana and wanted her dead; however, Diana refuses to see anyone kill her cursed and misguided friend. Kratos is one of the few enemies whose pursuit can make Barbara recognize this long enough to accept Diana's help.

Admired by: Sougo Tokiwa/Kamen Rider Zi-O
Previously just an offspring of a minor warlord that became known as 'The Fool of Owari' due to his antics unbefitting of a Samurai, Nobunaga made himself known in the times of war due to a surprise victory against the Imagawa forces when outnumbered heavily. This eventually continued where he utilized foreign muskets to eventually decimate the feared Takeda Cavalry, thereby signalling the end of the era of 'Samurai Fought in Honorable Duels', war was revolutionized. Nobunaga's tendencies to keep seeking innovations in how to win wars instead of being bound by tradition eventually became the cause of his ascension...
- Or so we would say had it not been another infamous figure of Nobunaga who embodied the one aspect that he was so feared that people thought he was a demon, to the point it almost eclipsed his other positive traits. Nobunaga found a loophole in the terms that this demon version of him has diverged quite enough while he still had a lot up to his sleeve to be represented in the Pantheon. Protests that there have been no Sengoku figures that have two versions between the two realms having TWO portfolios were raised, because it was not the usual thing, but Nobunaga didn't give a damn, that was the way he lived his life, if he didn't follow, he might as well let the Imagawa trample his clan. And so, much to everyone's surprise, Nobunaga repeated his feats at Okehazama against the Demon!Nobunaga, claiming his house in an unprecedented move. Henceforth, the two Nobunagas became rivals, though if anything, Nobunaga thinks his demon version is...amusing.
With his ascension, there has been rumor if Nobunaga would initiate a call to arms to those originated from his realm to fight for supremacy against those from the alternate Nobunaga time. His response? "Is that so? An interesting proposal..." followed by an ominous chuckle, but he has yet to take any direct action about it.
As per his historical-self when it comes to countering detractors ("is that so?"), Nobunaga has a knack to counter-troll anyone that attempts to Troll him, and then irritate them with "I forgive you" (via allowing them to get away with what they want as much as they fail to actually succeed). Clearly they were hoping that he would just cut their head off for daring to do that, but of course, Nobunaga here is different than that demonic Nobunaga. That doesn't mean that he's gotten a lot more heroic, though. If it fits his vision, he'll sadistically burn his oppositions to death. The thing at Mt. Hiei? He'll do it remorselessly if he had to. He's a lot more complicated.
Due to his own rather weird and unpredictable personality and the multiple versions of the Sengoku Period deities within the Pantheon, it's rather hard to say how Nobunaga feels towards his compatriots from the same realm. And that includes his sister.
He has renewed his alliance with Cao Cao, just like he did when everyone was fighting against Orochi. Cao Cao himself has finally recognized that this is the Nobunaga he knew and trusted.
Though he's mostly appearing as the more complicated dark lord, there are times that Nobunaga, thanks to a certain mishap in his ascension or perhaps a battle with the demon Nobunaga, he ended up getting transformed into a little girl with a Napoleon complex. In this form, while she's still the same Nobunaga with visions towards innovation, she could get a bit comical since she's almost like Deadpool, sometimes not acknowledging the fourth wall and getting meta. However, even Gods would be aware, since her muskets were said to be able to pierce through a God's divinity, the greater the rank, the worse the wound.
- Also in this form, Nobunaga has made mentions about a certain "Saber with Shit Stats", which eventually took form in Okita Souji. They bicker as much as they watch each other's back.
- Ever since then, sometimes the Pantheon often gets flooded with chibi-version of female Nobunaga who often cutely squealed "Nobuuu!"
  - However, those from the Nasuverse can't help but hear Kishima Kouma whenever this version of Nobunaga starts to speak...
Nobunaga was very amused about this place called "Honnoji Academy." And that the council president there, Satsuki Kiryuin, for some reason reminded him of something...
Apparently he's also the guy who commissioned the whole Hayabusa clan in case of demonic shenanigans beyond what he could handle. This, in addition to assistance against Orochi, earned him the respect of Ryu Hayabusa.
When incarnated as his Drifter aspect, Oda revels in the brutality he did, but do not be fooled, the man is still very much human. He may not be able to see why people hated him for the awful things he did, but he has learned from his mistakes and prefers to serve as an advisor to someone others can respect. One case being Shimazu Toyohisa and their alliance of non-humans.
- Is more amused by YHVH compared to the rest of the Pantheon, having spent his own life stuck in his ways until he was carried off to another world. Though Oda also sees him as a good example of what not to do when being brutal. Similarily he sees Heaven's Hole as someone to be wary of as she's lust gone horribly wrong, so he can't enjoy ogling her or trying to get release since neither Ranmaru nor his lovely wife Noh are in the pantheon to help.
- He also liked to lend certain aspects of his as a Persona (just shortening of his title to 'Rokuten Maoh') to Kanji Tatsumi, where Nobunaga enjoys teasing Kanji to enjoy naked men (Ooh yaah~<3), but also teaches him to still be assured of his sexuality. Nobunaga does know a thing or two about the subject...Ranmaru Mori is not just his page, after all!
What does it mean to oppose Nobunaga? MOSTLY BAD THINGS.
As opposed to his demonic version, Nobunaga actually does not like Fortinbras at all. He's his own 'Demon King', he bows to no one, and really, the practice of thinking him as a super demon and simple embodiment of evil is getting rather outdated...
Lately, his famed blade of the Heshikiri Hasabe was brought into mind via its origins; Nobunaga still keeps the blade around at times, and is hoping that it can be sharped up a bit more for actual fatal blows rather than that one servant he happened to kill out of a tantrum. Nowadays though, though he may not show it, Nobunaga can show his fury if pushed hard enough....only it's so confusing to know how to really do so in the first place.
Has befriended the black dragon of ideals Zekrom in an alternate continuity. In that universe, Nobunaga tried to conquer the Ransei region to find Arceus. It was a rather strange, yet amusing adventure for both him and the legendary dragon pokémon. Naturally, the thought of Nobunaga having a legendary dragon as an ally to call upon makes his enemies quite nervous.

Complicated Relationship: The Entire Sky walker family
There's always a form of struggle in the world. Between Good and Evil, Order and Chaos, Life and Death, Light and Darkness. One of the most famous examples is with the Jedi and Sith in the world of Star Wars. But before there was the Empire, the Republic, before even the Sith and Jedi, there were "The Ones". A family of three Force Wielders, each embodying an aspect of The Force.
- The Son: The Dark Side made flesh. Ambitious, selfish, powerful, and dangerous like all who draw on the power of the Dark Side.
- The Daughter: The Light Side in its purest physical form. Pure, selfless, humble and wise like those who follow the light strive to be.
- The Father: The embodiment of Balance itself. A master of both Light and Darkness, both selfish and selfless, both cruel and merciful, both wise and powerful.
Applies to the Entire Family
- The ascension of the three Force Wielders did not go unnoticed to the residents of Pantheon. Almost every Jedi, Sith and member from the House of Darkness and Shadow and Light and Brightness had felt their presence upon ascension. Anakin, Obi-Wan and Ahsoka were the most surprised, having seen the three die. Everyone questioned on just how the three had managed to ascend, but they didn't need to wonder for long, because The Celestials had soon arrived. When both members of the Jedi and Sith had appeared in front of The Celestials, not only did they show them a vision of a Mirror Universe, but they had scanned the memories of everyone present. When doing so, they became intrigued with The Force and desired to learn more about it. And so the ancient race had enacted a plan to bring back the Force Wielders in hopes to learning more of The Force.
- But as quickly the Celestials had appeared, both they and the Force Wielding Family had disappeared. As it turns out, the Living Tribunal had summoned them to the Court of the Gods to see what was to be done with them. Besides the usual members of the court, there were also a number of other gods that held a strong significance in both the Pantheon and Cosmic Hierarchy present, due to the sensitivity of the situation. There was much discussion on what to do with the family, as each member held a strong influence in both Pantheon and it's residents by the nature of both their existence and power. Some thought to recreate Mortis as their temple, ensuring that neither the Son or Daughter would leave and cause untold devastation in their conflict. But the idea was shot down when others realized that an outside force would indefinitely try to break them out, now that their existence was known. It was eventually decreed that the Celestials, as the ones responsible for their ascension, would be made to guard over them. This way each member of the family can move around freely, while having someone capable of keeping them in check. This benefited the Celestials as it means that they can continue to learn more about The Force.
- Not much is known about the history of The Ones. According to a Killik by the name of Thuruht, the oldest of living member of their race, "The Ones are what the Celestials become". Unfortunately the Killik hive does not make any distinctions between fact and fiction. Anything be it fact, fiction, truth, lies, myth, rumor all are history to the Killik. Was't more interesting is that there is almost nothing about The Ones that even hint to their existence, except for a mural that leads to the World Between Worlds and the Night Sister's religion.
  - As an additional layer of mystery, despite what The Ones are and represent, all three members speak of The Force as something greater than them. Whether this hints to something about them, the Force itself, or even both still remains to be seen. The fact they aren't the only Force entities in the universe helps makes thing more ambiguous.
- There was one thing that they family had been concerned about. Now that they were once again alive, and were brought in to Pantheon, they were concerned about the possibility of the ascension of The Mother: Abeloth. All three members decided to personally ask for assistance to deal with her should she ever appear. Learning of the danger, both the Jedi and Sith agreed to work together should the time come. The Celestials were also quick to assist as where the SCP Foundation and The Grand Spacial Onlookers. It's their hope that she never arrives, but the possibility is too critical to ignore.
  - It's also because of the threat that Abeloth poses that they view the Grand United Alliance of Destruction as enemies. Not even The Son wants the destruction of all life and reality.
- It should come to no surprise that both the Jedi and Sith were heavily interested in The Ones. Their existence is was something completely new to most of them, save for a few. Each member of The Ones have a different opinion/relationship with the two orders.
  - The Father is fairly neutral to both orders, he says that the Sith are one of few who would wish to exploit the power of his family. It's very possible that he's also referring to the Jedi as well. He does have good relationship with Qui-Gon though. As he actively tries to find "balance" in the Force. Same with Revan, but to a lesser extant.
  - The Son has nothing but contempt for both the Sith and the Jedi Order. He wishes for both to be destroyed, mostly so that way there won't be anyone to oppose him in his goal to control the galaxy.
  - The Daughter has made an effort to help the Jedi as much as she's allowed to. Her presence is greatly appreciated, as are her thoughts, opinion and any wisdom she can spare. The Jedi do their best to fallow the light, and view her as a sort of symbolic representation of what they should strive to be. Like the rest of her family, she has a low opinion of the Sith Order. The reason is fairly obvious, but almost no Sith dare try to attack her. It's speculated that her main ally among the Jedi is Ahsoka Tano, with her Herald Morai, acting as a form of Familiar.
- The Force Wielding family have a very complex relationship with the Skywalker family. Anakin, after realizing that everything on Mortis wasn't a dream, was NOT happy to see The Father again, even more so than he was with The Son. It was The Father who erased Anakin's memory about the future that was to come. Everything he would do, the monster he would become, the innocent people he would hurt, all of it could have been avoided, if it wasn't for The Father. The Father reminded Anakin that he did offer him a chance to save the galaxy, by taking his place to keep The Son and Daughter in balance. He even warned him that not taking his offer, his destiny as he put it, would have terrible consequences in the future. He even reminded him that he freed Anakin from The Son's thrall, when he momentarily gave in thanks to the knowledge of his future. As for the rest of the Skywalker family, he's relatively good terms with them. The Father even thanked Luke for is actions on stopping Abeloth. Luke in turn only has a vague memory of what he's talking about.
  - The Son and Daughter also have a complex relationship with the Skywalkers. The Son still very much wishes to have Anakin/Darth Vader as an ally to help take over the galaxy. What's worse is that not only does he have his sights on Anakin, but also his son Luke Skywalker, and his grandson Ben Solo/Kylo Ren. Anakin/Darth Vader went to great lengths to insure that he, his son, his grandson, and also his daughter Leia, to stay far away from The Son as possible. Luke and Leia will probably have a better time to resist The Son's "influence", but he fears that both his and Ben's former stance in the Dark Side may be all he needs to revert them back. The Daughter however is in a good relationship with the family, but Anakin suspects that her ability to see the future may have allowed her to know if Vader's eventual birth, which is way she kept him at a distance during their time together. After all, both The Son and The Father knew, so why wouldn't The Daughter?
- While The Ones are very aware that the world is not Black and White, They were NOT prepared to meet Lucifer and YHVH! Lucifer, while incredibly polite and friendly, is the literal embodiment of Chaos, discord and anarchy. The Father and Daughter are considerably uncomfortable around him, unlike The Son who finds him to be enjoyable company. That said The Son still sees him as a threat to his goals and ambition. YHVH however is much, much, MUCH worse than Lucifer. A the one that is suppose to represent Law and Order happens to be one of the cruelest beings in Pantheon. This greatly distresses The Daughter, angers The Father and The Son thinks that the entire thing is actually pretty funny (though he still opposes YHVH like the rest of his family mambers).
- Like many, The Ones are very concerned about The Flood. When they encountered The Flood, it was from an infected creature. They felt that the creature was a small part of a much larger Hive Mind. Out of curiosity, they entered and connected themselves with the Hive Mind. But before the present Celestials could stop them, it was already too late. The moment The Ones connected to The Flood, they learned "everything". The learned what The Flood was, where it came from, what they could do and what it has planed to do in the future. And in turn The Flood, or more specifically The Gravemind, learned everything there was to know about The Ones. What they are, what they could do, and what they knew about The Force.
- Like an number of other Force Users, The Ones have a low and very negative opinion on the Chaos Gods. They, Son included, see the Chaos Gods as abominations to reality, and are very much willing to fight against them. With some Celestials that are still angry with their previous encounter right at their side, it doesn't look good for them. They're also a bit conflicted about Malal. On one hand, he's not only a Chaos God, but he also has a good deal ownership over their home reality. The only good thing about it is that Abeloth is also trapped inside the Retconnian.
- Despite declaring that bringing or recreating Mortis wouldn't be as effective as it was before. The Father still asked to help bring the strange planet to Pantheon. Not recreate it, but actually bring it into Pantheon. The request was seemly granted, as many notice that finding The Ones temple is greatly difficult, as they not only have a hard time finding it in the House of Ambiguity, but people who are said to be there at the same time are nowhere to be found. Those who have a chance to actually see The Ones notice that they are no longer in the House of Ambiguity. And when they return, they notice that absolutely no time has changed at all, leading many to speculate that Mortis exist outside of time.
Applies to The Father
- Representing the Balance in The Force is The Father, the patriarch of the Force Wielding family. As one may expect, he is a being of immense power who prefers to take a neutral stance. Expect in the case of total universal annihilation, where he himself will personally intervene. This is actually the reason why he imprisoned himself and his family on Mortis, so his son and daughter don't accidentally destroy the universe fighting each other. Not so much that they'll cause a war expending the galaxy, but that they don't accidentally tear all of reality apart in a direct fight. This is why he's being imprisoned as well, because he has the literal power to stop them. If the rumors are true, then the origins of The Father are that he was originally a Celestial by the name of Elegast. He would later become what is known as The Father, through a Force nexus that was known as "The Wellspring of Balance". Which would not only act as his source of power, but the source of his immortality/life, which was unfortunately destroyed in a fight between the Son and Daughter. If true, then this act explains why The Father would eventually die, seemly of old age after over a thousand millenniums later.
- Despite The Father's neutral stance, his disdain for those who would endanger all of reality, or the natural order, for their own selfish goals clear. Darkseid would have all life in the Multiverse to bow to his will, breaking them to insure that they could never live without his rule. Megatron and his Decepticons would have all organic life in the universe destroyed, just to prove their superiority over them. Thanos would bend all of creation itself either for his obsession of death, or for his own ego and amusement.
Applies to The Son
- The Son is the Dark Side in physical form, the embodiment of Power in the Force, the Rebellious Son to The Father. As mentioned before, he is the Dark Side of The Force, he is Power itself, and unlike Sidious, his claims are not boast, but facts. Like the rest of his family, not much is actually known about him and not many are even aware of him. One of the few exceptions are the "Nightsisters" who revere him and his sister as one of the "Twin Deities", he himself being known as the "Fanged God". He has this name thanks to his ability to transform into a giant Gargoyle. If the rumors are true, than he was once a Celestial by the name of Eipha. His source of Power comes from the Dark Force nexus, the "Font of Power". The Son supposedly drank from this font in diffidence of his father when he and his sister were specifically forbidden from doing so. Said Font is also what sustains him and keeps him immortal.
- As The Son is the very manifestation of Dark Side, it should come no surprise that he would show up to the House of Darkness and Shadow. The Son finds the House to be much more enjoyable than the Temple that he shares with his family. To the Evil members of the House, he's a relatively popular figure, whom some are exited to see. To the not so evil members he's another monster that needs to be taken down, but their very hesitant to actually confront him. He's one the most powerful Dark aligned beings in Pantheon, his very presence is like a form of corruption, and if he actually tries to approach you, his Compelling Voice is sure to finish the job.
  - It should come to no surprise that The Son would eventually encounter The Heartless. The Son seemly has an uncanny ability to control the Heartless with a mere thought. Either by a form of telepathy, or instinct, they do as he commands. One particular Heartless that The Son is interested in, is Ansem, Seeker of Darkness. The two have a sort of partnership, neither of two fully trusting of each other, but they're willing to work together. Many residents of Pantheon dread what the two could do together.
- To the shock and horror of many, The Son went to approach Darth Maul to form a pact. The Son offered Maul the chance to destroy the Sith and the Jedi, in the condition that Maul were to swear fealty to him. To prove it, The Son gave Maul a small time limit of power he could give him. I that time limit Maul felt the full power of the Dark Side at his side, and marched towards Palpatine's temple. Maul proceeded to slaughtering all of Palpatine's men and soundly defeating his former master. The only reason Maul didn't kill the Sith Lord was because the Son took back his borrowed power. After narrowly escaping, Maul returned to The Son. While disappointed about not getting to kill Sidious, he understood the reason to what The Son did. Maul then swore fealty to his new master, The Dark Side itself.
- Something than many may wonder, is what would have happened if The Son had successfully escaped Mortis. As it turns out, there is a reality where this actually happens. In said reality, Anakin returns to Coruscant as a servant to The Son. Both Yoda and Palpatine sense Anakin and The Son approaching. Both come together to fight against the new threat. This is telling with as how careful Palpatine had been for the many years, and how strongly the Jedi have been in searching for him. When Anakin arrived and confronted the two, he came with a literal storm that engulfed the entire planet. The Jedi Master and Sith Lord battled against The Chosen One, and lost. Anakin then declared himself overlord of the Galaxy, and The Son stood back and watched. Not needing to lift a single finger as they now ruled the Galaxy.
- If their is one being that The Son sees as a true ally, it's Melkor. The two see much in each other, both are sons that (in their eyes) were robed of their natural right to rule over all from their father. The two would gladly corrupt all and any to their side. And they are without a doubt, the greatest evil in their home world. Some would think that the Celestials wouldn't allow such a thing to take place. But the Celestials conclude that what The Son is doing is only natural, that it's in his nature, and has yet to actually do anything that would endanger Pantheon.
- For all his malevolence, he does genuinely love The Daughter and even The Father (albeit to a lesser degree). He was both horrified and devastated when he accidentally killed the Daughter and when he saw the Father commit suicide on the mortal plane, even though he had originally desired the latter. Because of this, he has warned the GUAE, under no uncertain terms, that he adamantly refuses to do anything that would harm either member of his family, and that trying to force him to do so would be a very bad idea. Melkor is irritated with the Son's lack of fratricidal tendencies, but knows better than to force the issue, especially since the Son already has a negative opinion of the Chaos Gods, some of his closest allies.
Applies to The Daughter
- The Daughter is the Light Side in physical form, as The Son is the embodiment of Power, she is the embodiment of Knowledge and Wisdom. She is the The Dutiful Daughter to the Rebellious Son of her brother. She's everything that The Son is not, as she said herself it's in her nature to be who she is, just as it's The Son's nature to be everything she isn't. The Daughter possesses every ability that the Jedi are capable of, and many thing that they aren't capable of. Though she herself rarely shows is, and very much prefers not to. As mentioned above, she is one of the "Twin Deities" in the Nightsisters religion. She is known as the "Winged Goddess", thanks to her ability to transform into a giant Gryphon. Like with her brother and father, there are rumors about her origin. The rumor is that she was a Celestial by the name of Niphal. In an act to stop her brother after he drank from the Dark Force nexus, the "Font of Power". She bathed herself into the Light Force nexus, the "Pool of Knowledge". Said pool is not only the source of her power but also the source of her immortality.
- Like how her brother is with the House of Darkness and Shadow, The Daughter has made herself to be a popular figure to the good gods of Light and Brightness. Her presence actually helps make the place even brighter, surprising as that is. As she sees the threat that her broth posses with his new dark allies, The Daughter had confronted the Keyblade Wielders for assistance, all who were more than willing to help.
- With the Son joining GUAE, The Daughter would naturally join the GUAG. Cosmos was more than willing to let her join, while also being sympathetic towards The Daughter for having to oppose her brother. That said, The Daughter does not take direct action unless the The Son is involved. The reason is that she still wishes to fallow her fathers orders, so she primarily takes a position in the GUAG Medical Division. There she can user her Force Powers with great effect without disobeying her father.
