Pantheon / Rock and Metal

House of Musicality Index
Dance | Lyrics | Musical Compositions | Musical Genres | Musical Instruments | Rock and Metal | Singers and Performers

This Hall was commissioned after there was a realization that Rock Music and Heavy Metal were becoming rather prominent representatives for the House of Music. As a result, many of the reps decided that it was time that they were given a place that was exclusively about their own genres.

May or may not be the loudest Hall in Musicality (which is saying something) and perhaps of all the Halls in the Pantheon if other Houses are taken into account. It has a tendency to attract massive crowds who hunger for live performances and events. While the hall is designed akin to a gigantic stadium or concert, there's enough room to host a recording studio where rock and metal artists often go to if they want to record new music.

Intermediate Gods

Dethklok

Dethklok, Gods of Death Metal (William Murderface, Skwisgaar Skwigelf, Nathan Explosion, Pickles, and Toki Wartooth)

• Intermediate Gods
• Symbol: A guitar with lightning and a bunch of flame decals
• Theme: "Deththeme"
• Alignment: Chaotic Neutral
• Portfolio: Those Powered By Death metal, Crossing the Line Twice, Serious Business, Gorn, Music being made entirely of Nightmare Fuel, Fake Bands that became real, Death Metal, Nightmare Fuel Station Attendants
• Domains: Death, Domination, Metal (duh!), Time, Prophecy, Fate
• Allies: Eddie Riggs, Slayer, Piers, VanossGaming
• Rivals: Metallica & Megadeth
• Enemies: Hokago Tea Time, 765 Production
• Fans of: Batman
• Opposes: Linkin Park
• Opposed By: Mayhem
• Originally, they held the titles as the Gods of Rock before being dethroned from the Pantheon. They have since reascended as the Other Gods of Death Metal thanks to (albeit unintentional) assistance from Chuck Schuldiner.
• It is however a known fact that the true power lies with the individual Charles Foster Ofdensen, a man that many of the higher deities would steer clear from.
• Dethklok is kept under control by Ronnie James Dio, whom he has forced them to stop making Tenacious D do their dirty work. The only objectors to this are Dethklok themselves.
• For some weird reasons, Dethklok absolutely hates Hokago Tea Time and their music due to them being incredibly sugary and that their popularity will eventually Dethrone Dethklok's influence as a Global Musical Superpower. Nathan Explosion, the band's leader, is trying to have a Battle of the Bands between Dethklok and Hokago Team Time set up, which is pending for approval by Wiz, Boomstick, Charles Offdensen and Ronnie James Dio.
  • So far, the battle has been approved, much to Dethklok's expectations, as a poster of the battle has been posted throughout the Pantheon. However, they are still waiting for a date for when the battle will occur.
• With Anal Cunt's ascension, the band has teamed up with them to form "Dethkunt", with the goal of defeating the Hokago Team Time since their influence is driving out Dethklok's. Which ironically led to the latter's ascension.
• Originally believed to be an incarnation of the four horsemen of the apocalypse (and Pickles), new developments have revealed they may actually be god-chosen saviors who are prophesized to use their music to kill an Eldritch Abomination.
• Huge fans of Batman, specially ever since Bat Metal (which in turn the Dark Knight prefers not to comment on).
• Dethklok hates Linkin Park, seeing them as weak in their energy and persona, claiming them to be shameless posers in the name of Rock Music. Linkin Park however don't really mind what Dethklok has to say about them, instead being more focused about Chester's mental health, their own personal lives and what they would like to do in the Pantheon.

Eddie Riggs

Edward "Eddie" Riggs, God of Roadies and Patron Saint of Heavy Mithril

• Intermediate God, but'll claim to be a mere Demigod if asked
• Symbol: The Separator and his guitar Clementine crossed against each other
• Theme Song: The Chosen Roadie
• Alignment: Chaotic Neutral or Chaotic Good, depending on who you ask.
• Portfolio: The Reliable One, Supporting Protagonists, Genius Bruiser, The Power of Rock, getting the job done without hogging the Spotlight, Hot-Blooded, Heavy Mithril, Born in the Wrong Century, Half-Human Hybrid, Living Macguffin
• Domains: Darkness, Creation, Liberation, Metal, Productivity, Humility
• Herald of: Ormagöden
• His Personal Heralds: Ophelia, Lars Halford, Lita Halford and Mangus
• Allies: Metallica & Megadeth, Dethklok, Sabaton, Epica, Slayer, Brooke, I-No (who's "Kinda sexy in a weird way" by his admission), Elite Tauren Chieftain, Po, Sam, Clover, and Alex, Dell Conagher, Rimuru Tempest, Brentalfloss
• Rivals: Japanese-based performers like Miku Hatsune, Houkago Tea Time, and the Mermaid Princesses, Haruko Haruhara, Necrodancer and the Golden Lute
• Teeth-Clenched Teamwork with: Gorillaz
• Enemies: Mayhem
• Respected by: Gertrude
• Opposed by: Reinhardt Wilhelm
• "A good roadie knows his whole job is to make someone else look good. Keep someone else safe. Help someone else do what they were put here to do. A good roadie stays out of the spotlight. If he's doing right, you don't even know he's there. And once in a while he might step on the stage to fix a problem. To set something right. And before you even realize he was there, or what he did, he's gone."
  • For that reason above, as well as his adventure in his game, Eddie Riggs used to be the God of Roadies in the House of Music. However, due to it not being a trope, he was shafted to the Rework section until a better trope can be found for him.
  • Because of the fact that not many people are familiar with Ormagöden, his influence has begun to wane. Seeing his herald Eddie stuck in the Rework section because of the fact that Roadies is not a trope, he decided to sacrifice his title in order to bring Eddie back into the Pantheon proper.
• Has served Dethklok and helped train their roadies.
• Although he'll serve any musician without complaint, he has barely-hidden contempt for the J-Pop genre and their Idol Singers (though he knows not to complain) and can be seen Face Palming backstage during concerts.
  • His rivalry with Haruko Haruhara is considerably more friendly, or at least as friendly one can get with the likes of her.
• His followers maintain the Pantheon's instruments when their users are not performing.
• Once met with Po and looked at him weirdly, mostly due to having similar voices. Po is in awe at Eddie's rock and roll skills, while Eddie does admit that Po is pretty okay as a kung-fu fighter, which is then taken to the next level as the panda learns chi.
• Given his music, he's garnered contention wit Reinhardt.
• In honor of the god who sacrificed his place in the Pantheon for him, Eddie rebuilt his shrine into the likeness of the Eternal Fire-Beast Ormagöden.
• Enemies with Mayhem, mainly because Eddie is a hero who happens to be a metalhead and is firmly on the side of good, a fact which Mayhem cannot get by.
• One day, Eddie went down into the Crypt, wondering why it appeared in the House of Musical Genres. He fought through most of the Necrodancer's army, blasting them or axing them off with his trusted Clementine and Separator. Upon meeting the Necrodancer himself, they engaged in a battle of music, as the Necrodancer summoned more of his army, while Eddie's Mooks throw themselves at his stage. While some spectators from the House of War came in to enjoy the carnage on the battlefield, it ended with a victory for the roadie, though their fights must now be done in the House of War now since the House of Musical Genre and parts of the House of Music are damaged from their battle.
• There was that time that Eddie "collaborated" with Gorillaz. Eddie, having flashbacks to his time working for Kabbage Boy, hated every minute of his temporarily forced partnership with Gorillaz, especially since Murdoc kept trying to steal Clementine away from Eddie every time the two were together. The feeling appears to be mutual on the band's part, particularly with Murdoc, whose face Eddie melted off on more than one occasion.
• "Where I come from, this guitar makes noises. Here, it blows stuff up!"

The Guy (Disturbed)

The Guy, God of Metal Band Mascots (The Hand of God, The Dark Messiah, The Vengeful One, Morbus, "Superman")

^{As The Vengeful One}

^{His True Form}

• Intermediate God normally, Overdeity in his true form
• Symbol: His Eyes and Smile◊
• Theme Song: The Vengeful One
• Alignment: Chaotic Good
• Portfolio (as Disturbed's Mascot): Appropriated Appellation, Breaking the Bonds, Chained by Fashion, Face Framed in Shadow, Glowing Red Eyes, In the Hood, Names to Run Away from Really Fast, The Noseless, Out of the Inferno, Phlegmings, Rebel Leader, Sharp Eerily White Teeth, Slasher Smile, Too Many Belts
  • As his own character: Anthropomorphic Personification of The Sacred Darkness, Black Cloak, Celestial Body, Combat Pragmatist, Dark Is Not Evil, Dual Wielding, Eldritch Abomination, Fist of Rage, Good is Not Nice, Hope Bringer, Humanoid Abomination, Living Shadow, Rebel Leader, Sentient Cosmic Force, Uses Blue Flames
• Domains: Symbolism, Rebellion, Freedom
• Heralds: Disturbed (the band itself).
• Allies: Raiden, Solid Snake, Lelouch vi Britannia, Koichi Kimura, Satsuki Kiryuin, Ryuko Matoi, Monkey D. Luffy, Toki, Madoka Kaname, Superman, Spawn
• Enemies: Steven Armstrong, Charles zi Britannia, Ragyo Kiryuin, Lucrezia Mongfish, Nui Harime, Skull Face, Melkor, YHVH, High Councilor Kal-El
• Respects: The Kid
• Opposes: Those who would dominate and control others^note Which means pretty much every evil member of Leadership, Lucifer, Ares
• The Guy was chosen to be the divine representative of Metal Band Mascots, despite being one of the newer ones on the scene, due to the fact that unlike most of the other ones (barring possibly Eddie the Head) he has a story told throughout his appearances. He's been indestructible, a rebel leader, a criminal, The Grim Reaper, an Axe-man, a soldier, a samurai, and an Asylum patient. Then he was shown to be so much more than thought.
• The Guy, once housed by the House of Gaming, believed that The Guy was out to take the title of the Guy from him. He never cared, nor did he ever want that title. This became funny when the Guy was FINALLY slain in battle and replaced by the Kid, a much more fitting champion who The Guy actually respects.
• Surprisingly, he's good with kids, especially orphans. Some believe he may be using them for an army, but that's just false rumors. He just has a habit of collecting The Lost Children◊.
• Gets along well with Johnny Blaze and Jackie Estacado, most likely because of their shared traits. Also, Johnny likes The Guy's motorcycle.
• Eventually after getting asked enough times, The Guy explained what and why his form is what it is: Chains and Belts to symbolize fighting oppression; The hood and lack of face for the anonymity of collective masses; His full appearance is supposed to bring to mind the image of an underdog rebel.
• Many deities are glad he's a protector of humanity's freedom, because he can be downright terrifying when he wants to be.
• Many were worried about The Guy possibly showing contempt for Superman in the Land of Confusion, when a modified dollar bill sign flew onto his chest, mimicking Superman's own chest symbol and The Guy just tore it off. Superman actually found it hilarious.

Sabaton

Sabaton, The Great Skalds of Historical Metal

The post-Carolus Rex lineup.

• Intermediate Gods^*collectively. By themselves they're Demigods
• Symbol: Their Name, Armoured◊
• Signature Song: Ghost Divisionand Smoking Snakes

• Former Members: Rikard Sundén, Oskar Montelius, Richard Larsson, Daniel Mullback, Daniel Mÿhr, Robban Bäck, Thobbe Englund

• Domains: Combat, Heroism, Music, War
• Allies: Eddie Riggs, Alexander the Great, the Fleet Girls, Miho Nishizumi, Alison Blaire/Dazzler.
  • Fangirl: Yukari Akiyama
• Complicated relationship with: Bismarck
• Enemies: Courtney Gears
• Opposes: Most Nazi Deities (yes, really)
• Ascended to the Throne of Metal for being... well, the only band in history to make almost their entire discography about historical events.
• Often seen in the Houses of Fighting and Combat and Military and Warfare more often than their own house, likely trying to inspiration for more songs.
• Nicholas Saint North heard about the one time Joakim jokingly threatened him due to an obnoxious child kicking his seat. He thought it was funny, but told him not to do it again.
• The reason why they oppose most Nazi deities? People keep saying Sabaton are Nazis. And it pisses them off, and the fact that no-one applied the same reasoning to filmmakers, but always to musicians.
• Surprise, all their songs are actually about Joakim's penis. Dr. Freud had a field day after hearing that.
  Joakim: Look, I have broken zipper in my trousers, but it's okay, it's for easier access for the Pantheonic girls! So, the next song is going to be about my penis, all right? RISE OF EVIL!
  • They're just joking in case you can't tell.
• Akagi has asked them not to perform Midway when she's around, as it brings back bad memories. They understand, and will inform her if it's in their set list to avoid their House.
  • Oddly enough, Bismarck doesn't mind them playing her namesake song. This is despite the band's stance against Nazi Germany, and the fact that a lot of other deities have associated the song with her counterpart from another game.

Lesser Gods

Epica

Epica, Sextet Gods of Symphonic Metal (Sahara Dust [former band name])

The Band circia 2017

• Lesser God(desse)s
• Symbol: The Band Logo; An Inverted Triangle enveloping a capital E and the triangle encircled by a Snake.
• Signature Song: Cry for the Moon, Chasing the Dragon, Kingdom of Heaven
• Alignment: Chaotic Good
• Members: Simone Simons, Mark Jansen, Issac Delahaye, Coen Janssen, Rob van der Loo, Ariën van Weesenbeek
• Portfolio: Symphonic Metal, Being Hard about their Messages Epic Rocking, Having Long Orchestrated Introductions, Five-Man + One-Woman Band, Being more Darker than Bands from their Genre, Dual Clean Vox and Death Growls, Being Experimental with Each Album, Having Power Ballads and Songs Criticizing Religion
• Domains: Heavy Metal, Symphony, Orchestra, Vocal Duality, Perseverance
• High Priest: Nightwish
• Herald: Kamelot
• Followers: Within Temptation, Delain, Sirenia, Sonata Arctica
• Allies: Metallica, Megadeth, Sabaton, Eddie Riggs Christopher Lee, Neo, Eren Yeager, Mikasa Akerman, Kousei Arima, Lain Iwakura, House of Costumes (Given Simone's secondary job as a Makeup Artist)
• Friendly Rivalry: Dethklok
• Respected by: STARSET
• Opposes: YHVH and the Grand United Alliance of Law, Judge Claude Frollo, Agent Smith, Maestro Forte, Masama Eiri
• Opposed By: Mayhem
• Mark Jansen is a musician who initially played for the band Kamelot. However, his creative choices tended to butt heads against the other band members and hence, he decided to quit the band in early 2002 to instead look for other musicians to create his own. He soon formed Sahara Dust later that year. Initially having vocalist Helena Michaelsen of Trails of Tears fame, she was later replaced by Simone Simons, then-Jansen's girlfriend. In a little while, Sahara Dust would soon change it's name to Epica, taken from Kamelot's sixth album of the same name and paving it's way to becoming one of the most sought-out and respectable bands in the Symphonic Metal genre.
• Much like the more influential artists beforehand, Epica made it's way into the Pantheon thanks after a formal invitation was sent by Ugo. The band announced a Pantheonic Tour, starting with the House of Music and Theatre and Spectacle to much acclaim and success. It's going to take a while before Epica is fully settled into the Pantheon, given that they're just introduced to whimsical and bombastic nature of the world.
  • In a rather odd perspective, Epica isn't actually the most influential band in it's genre, though they are among the most acclaimed and respected. That title goes out to Nightwish. For that reason, Epica chose to have them as their High Priest as a form of respect and appreciation.
• Not surprisingly, Epica chose to have Kamelot as it's herald, though there are a lot more deeper reasons than that. It turns out that the latter's keyboardist, Oliver Palotai, is married to Simone and the two have a son together. As a result, it's an uncommon sight to see Simone and Mark take their child Vincent G. Palotai to the House of Family and Relatives, preferably in the Houses of Childhood and Adolescence and Offsprings where he gets to play with the residing children in the Pantheon in the hopes that he has some sort of social interaction and friends during their time in the Pantheon. This gesture has Simone and Oliver earn the respect of the House of Family.
• They have a series of long and drawn out tracks, some of which clock at 10-13 minutes. Not that anyone has a problem with it. They have some influences from Progressive Metal, a pretty well-respectable trait given how much effort it takes to construct such tracks from the Sub-Genre. Metallica respects them for that (They themselves have influence towards Progressive Metal with some of their more notable tracks) and have even allowed Epica to join along in their Pantheonic tours every once in a while. They also understand Simone wanting to spend time with her son, given that all of Metallica's members are fathers themselves.
• Epica is not afraid to showcase criticism towards religion as much of their discography displays. Naturally, this didn't bode too well for the Grand United Alliance of Law, with YHVH considering many of their songs to be a direct insult to him. This made Epica very unpopular towards the GUAL and it's members. Lucifer, on the other hand, finds this pretty amusing and shows a modicum of respect towards Epica for having songs about having to stand up for one's self.
• While Dethklok tends to be rather critical towards most music artists at worst and simply ambient at best, Epica seems to be a strange exception. Maybe it's because of the dual vocal style with Mark Jansen partaking in the occasional death growls, adding a layer of aggression and abrasiveness that's pretty rare in Symphonic Metal. Heck, they even don't seem to mind touring with them, though circumstances have gotten in their way, especially regarding Dethklok.
• They have a track called "Beyond the Matrix". Contrary to belief, it's not about the film, though the lyrics describe a theme and setting that is similar to said film. Neo finds this interesting and sees Epica as good friends in return.
  • On a similar note, they've covered tracks about humanity's resistance against a horde of titans. Eren Yeager and Mikasa Akerman have taken notice of it and have appreciated their gesture of paying homage to them. That said, Epica isn't involving themselves in their battles for obvious reasons.
• Simone has a part-time job hosting a beauty and lifestyle blog known as SmoonStyle, detailing her personal life, promoting and talking about her sets of cosmetics and fashion design. This won her over in the House of Costumes and some of the residential deities there are happy to give her tips, advice and a few collaborations here and there. Conversely, some metalheads are not happy with Simone's choice of secondary work and think it heavily contradicts with the tone of her music.
• Are intrigued by the story of Lain Iwakura and Masami Eiri and their contrasts with one another. Epica are interested enough to consider writing a track about them, a fact that Eiri doesn't like as he thinks a song about them is obviously going to be against him narratively. Lain on the other hand, is honored by Epica's gesture. Though Epica have stated that their tale is something that simply interests them a lot and they've dome a few tracks similar to it.
• While not to the same extent as say, Metallica and Megadeth, Epica have proven to be a celebrated act in the Pantheon. Though they're not exactly immune to criticism as Mayhem have demonstrated (Though that is more on Euronymous than anyone else). Epica is unsurprisingly close friends with Sabaton, with both bands having even toured together in their mortal lives anyway. They've currently planned out their tours for the Houses of Musicality, Heroism and Machinery and Technology. Simone considered Family and Relatives and Love and Affection, but felt that Jansen's death growls might intimidate some listeners somewhat. Not that Jansen has a problem with it.

Green Day

Do you have the time, to listen to me whine, about nothing and everything, all at once?

Green Day, Divine Pop Punk Gods (Sweet Children, Foxboro Hot Tubs, The Network)

The Band during their American Idiot Phase.

• Lesser Gods
• Symbol: A clenched Heart Grenade
• Signature Songs: Basket Case, Good Riddance (Time of your Life), American Idiot, Boulevard of Broken Dreams, 21 Guns, Revolution Radio
• Alignment: Chaotic Good
• Members: Billie Joe Armstrong, Mike Dirnt, Tré Cool
  • Touring Member: Jason White
• Portfolio: Punk Rock Band that firmly established Pop Punk, Very Politically Charged, Encouraging their Fans to Sing Alongside Them, Having Connectable Intros and Endings with their Albums, "Get your ass up Here!", Swearing Repeatedly, Track Transitioning with Each Album, Heterosexual Life-Partners, Billie Singing in a rather Mumbly Fashion, Love Nostalgia Songs, An Occasional Hard Scream on Billie's Part, Making Musically Varying Albums that is Bound to Have a Divided Opinion, Older Than They Look, Often Smashing their Guitars during Live Concerts, Rock Trio, Often Criticized for Being Popular
• Domains: Punk, Rock, Alternative, Politics, Protest, Dissatisfaction, Anger
• High Priest: blink-182
• Heralds: Jakob Danger (a band fronted by Billie Joe's son)
• Followers: Sum 41, Paramore, The All-American Rejects, Afterglow
• Allies: The Beatles, Freddie Mercury, Metallica, Weezer, Linkin Park, Homer Simpson, Bart Simpson, Optimus Prime, Houkago Tea Time, Kira Ford, Kousei Arima, Kaori Miyazono, Josiah "Jed" Bartlet
• Enemies: Frank Underwood, Cioccolata, Yuuki Terumi, Big Brother, O'Brien
• Respects/Respected By: Rebels in the Pantheon, including Jim Raynor, Guy Montag, Katniss Everdeen, Yuri Nakamura, V
• Green Day; a band from Oakland, California that picked up where Punk titans like The Ramones, The Clash and Bad Religion had established and proceeded to build up a new scene generation and a spurring community of newcomers that eagerly embraced that they represented. Green Day would ultimately come to herald and firmly represent the Pop Punk genre. Green Day would project its influence with two albums, Dookie which is still seen as a benchmark for the Pop Punk movement and American Idiot, which represented the strife and difficulties of 2000s United States regarding social discontent and political controversy, whilst also experimenting on creating something akin to a Rock Opera.
  • The band themselves have confirmed that they themselves went through a tough time prior to the formation. Many of the context behind their songs tend to say it; "Wake Me Up When September Ends" detailed how lead singer Billie Joe Armstrong struggled to cope with the death of his father, "Brain Stew" was Billy Joe struggling to take care of his son and "X-Kid" was the band themselves dealing with a friend who committed suicide.
• Green Day ascended into the Pantheon after playing a gig in... Springfield where they died by drowning after their concert barge was flooded by water pollution. Still, they chose to ignore this weird notion of events and continue to play their music towards a brand new audience from several different houses.
  • Surprisingly enough, Green Day held their first tour in the House of Cultures where they immediately attracted a large audience. Despite their themes of protest, they proved popular, with Green Day later working on a new studio album based on their experiences in the Pantheon.
• All three members of the band are family men and thus often come to the House of Family and Relatives. Frontman Billie Joe's son, Jakob Danger, is an aspiring rock musician himself and fronts a band named after himself. That said, Green Day aims to play some of their softer songs and, conversely censor some of their tracks should they choose to plan a tour there.
  • The song "Brain Stew" is unsurprisingly not a popular song for families and children, something which the band expected. Billie Joe himself notes that the song itself is frustrating in nature, given that it was written in a time and was about him trying to deal with his second son crying, which made him wide awake at night. This does not stop Billie Joe from loving Jakob Danger, mind you.
• The band is rather comfortable with some of the jokes centred around their music... except when someone tries to use the song, "Wake Me Up When September Ends" as one of them (e.g. sending alarm clocks to their temple on October 1). Billie hates this for very personal reasons; his father died when Billie was young and turning that song into a joke seems like a mockery to Billie's father. The House of Family is rather understanding about that and have made it a notice that "Wake Me Up When September Ends" not be used in a ridiculing manner.
• They've maintained a good friendship with Linkin Park, with the band personally sending their condolences regarding Chester Bennington's suicide. Green Day themselves know how it feels to lose someone close, as can be attested to "X-Kid" and make an effort to encourage their fans to think about themselves better and to seek help if they're contemplating suicide.
  • Bassist Mike Dirnt has some respect for Metallica, citing them, especially former bassist Cliff Burton for being one his main influences for Dirnt to play bass guitar. Like Metallica, Dirnt was rather mellow to see that Cliff doesn't exist in the Pantheon, though that doesn't stop him from trying to pay tribute to him to some extent.
• Regarding their genre, they have a fan in Kira Ford, the Yellow Dino Thunder Ranger who herself is an aspiring musician. Before she and the rest of her fellow rangers ascended, Kira wanted to represent the Pop Punk genre as she personally associated her music with that the most, but then decided to lay it off, thinking someone else would be better for the representation. Surprise, the band who best represent it is the icon for Pop Punk in the Pantheon. Kira squeed in response and is eager to try to play with Green Day as a supporting act one day.
  • The Houkago Tea Time once auditioned to play s gig for Green Day during their debut, which the band allowed, much to the girl's delight. It proved successful, with Yui squeeing at the opportunity to sing out one of their songs. The other girls cringed a little after Yui began to swear via some of the song's lyrics. Not that Green Day had much of a problem, if anything, they found it rather humorous.
• Being one of the most famous and most influential rock bands of the 21st Century, Green Day has seen numerous tributes and homages paid to the band. While most of them are generally appreciated by them, they take great insult to one of them, mainly the name of a stand wielded by a demented doctor named Cioccolata. Cioccolata himself finds the fact that he named after Green Day rather amusing, but the band themselves want nothing to do with him and they panicked for a while when they learned that Cioccolata's stand was used to create a mould that corrodes people's flesh.
• As a Punk band, Green Day has a penchant of being loud and aggressive when it comes to their lyrics, and it's especially prominent when they decided to get political when working on American Idiot, with lyrics being directed at George W. Bush, American Politics, Mass Hysteria and Social and Societal Discomfort. It didn't take long before the band learned of the schemes and deceptions that Frank Underwood pulled off in order to become U.S. President and his terms being responsible for further schism in the U.S. plus the deaths of many lives mainly as a Pretext for War. While not much information is known about Green Day's newest studio album in the Pantheon, some have expressed that some tracks may as well be about President Underwood.
• Have some sort of a relationship with Optimus Prime, which the band found odd. It's actually something to do with the fact that one of their songs, "21 Guns" has something to do with being associated with the Transformers, plus it sounds like something that would fit for a eulogy, which may be attributed to the Autobots that fought and died for Optimus and Earth. For that, Optimus has Green Day's approval and gratitude and the band has performed "21 Guns" in remembrance to the fallen Autobots.
• Will often call out to someone in the crowd during their live performances and invite them to sing alongside them with the microphone. Billie Joe has done this with Kira and Yui and is happy to give it to anyone, mainly as a wish fulfilment for fans. At times, Billie Joe also asks for a guitarist in the audience, and at times he's lucky that a deity that happens to know that instrument is present.
• Due to their political nature, Green Day is seen with respect by rebels, who feel like their musical sound and theme are, in a sense, relatable to how they tend to fight against freedom and rights. While Jim Raynor is more involved with more intergalactic affairs, he respects Green Day's musical direction, and others like V and Yuri can take some of their more aggressive tracks as a battle anthem of sorts, most notably "Know the Enemy".

Sometimes I wish someone out there will find me, til then I walk alone...

Lord Raptor

Lord Raptor, Demonic Rock God (Zabel Zarock)

• Lesser God
• Symbol: His guitar and/or his side-kick Le Malta
• Theme Music: His original or his remake theme.
• Alignment: Chaotic Evil
• Portfolio: Zombie powered by heavy metal, attacks with chainsaws, sharp bones or electricity, from Australia, Musical Assassin, plotting to usurp his superiors.
• Domains: Undead, Zombies, Heavy Metal, Ambition
• High Priests: The Dark Purveyors (much to their annoyance and disgust)
• Allies: Spinal, Courtney Gears, I-No, Kano.
• Enemies: Demitri Maximoff, Morrigan Aensland, Chris Redfield, Jill Valentine, Tallahassee, Ash Williams, Miss Sarah Fortune, Artix Von Krieger, Peacock, The Suite Pretty Cures
• Rival: Alison Blaire/Dazzler.
• Abhorrent Admirer to: Hsien-Ko, Nadia Fortune, Eliza, Squigly, Margaret Moonlight
• Stays Far Away From: Bloody Marie
• Herald: Le Malta
• A heavy metal rocker in his heyday, Raptor/Zabel was also a cultist who gained favor among the demons of Makai after sacrificing the souls of his entire audience on his final concert in which he also perished. This sacrifice allowed him to come back as a zombie with demonic power in which he channels through his heavy metal music.
  • The Demonic Rock temple was contested among him and the Dark Purveyors. Even though the Purveyors had superior power and abilities due to being the sacrificial vessels of their leader and king, Killabilly, Raptor easily beat them as he had the one weapon they feared: a chainsaw. Still, he keeps them around as his high priests, which more or less means his gofers.
• The first thing he did the second he settled in was rush over to Hsien-Ko's temple and profess his undying love to her now that they are both deities. All he did was fall victim to many boobytraps (most using heavy weights and blades) she had already set up once she heard of his ascension.
• Being a zombie, he's naturally a target of both the BSAA deities, Ash Williams and Tallahassee. He never leaves his temple unless Le Malta spies around and makes sure the coast is clear.
• Some members in the Pantheon know him very well as he was involved in plots to merge all worlds. Those he had allied himself with in those instances (such as Jedah Dohma) know he is an opportunist who will betray his masters to gather more power for himself. It's that reason why Lucifer and especially Melkor don't want him in their GUAs. Nekron, however, sees him an ideal member for the GUAD as in the end he'll destroy him as well as everyone else.
• Once had the misfortune of running into Artix Von Krieger. Beaten to an inch within undeath, Raptor was saved, of all things, by Artix noticing Le Malta holding a pink teddy bear (a gift he was about to give his "sweetheart" B.B Hood). Artix immediately ceased his attack and ran in the opposite direction. Raptor decides to keep at least one pink item hidden within his body at all times now.
  • As for the teddy bear? B.B. Hood ended up shooting both it and Le Malta full of holes for his trouble.
• After yet another unsuccessful attempt to enter Hsien-Ko's temple and setting off the latest round of booby traps waiting for him, Raptor found an unfortunate target/new love interest in Ms. Fortune. The undead catgirl initally rejected his advances until he left her with no choice but to fight. The battle ended when Nadia tried going for a Feral Edge only for Raptor to counter with a well-timed Death Voltage. He then carried her unconscious body back to his temple. The Machine immediately sounded alarm to her kidnapping, prompting Peacock and Miss Sarah Fortune to go to her rescue. What awaited them when they entered the innermost sanctum of the Demonic Rock temple was beyond their sensibilities. Peacock had to close all her eyes just to stop watching, her assist characters all turned green and began throwing up, and Sarah kept a mantra to imagine seeing Gangplank naked. Still, they eventually freed Nadia, who was so angry at being made Raptor's plaything, she pulled a enormous Fifth Of Dismember on him. Once rescued, all 3 went directly to Moe's Tavern to be served a large barrelful of Forget-Me-Shots each. Peacock, however, made sure her assistants would never take the drink as she wants them to remind them of the horror they all forgot and to make sure Raptor never gets near Nadia ever again.
  • After hearing how Raptor "sullied her future drinking fountain", Eliza immediately went to Raptor to punish him. Instead of fighting back, Raptor became lovestruck and earned yet another "suitor". Despite having him proclaim his devotion to her, Eliza was disgusted as she wouldn't even see it worth anything to keep him around as a slave and left. From that moment on, whenever he tries getting close to her, she has Albus and Horace beat him to a pulp and toss him as far away from her as possible.
• Has made Squigly yet another "suitor". While the zombie-girl doesn't often agree with Eliza on anything, she has occasionally helped Eliza beat the crap out of him, usually with Leviathan's fire-breath.
• Briefly had an encounter with Bloody Marie when she first ascended. Raptor originally thought she could be yet another "suitor", but Marie shot that down when she took control of his body, contorted it into a myriad of horrifying figures and poses, then cut him into pieces with her scythe before using his guitar as a gravestone. Safe to say, he has never approached her again.
• Despite his terrible luck with the ladies, he HAS been recruited as a band-mate for I-No, Courtney Gears and Margaret Moonlight. However, the second he tried to hit on her, she warned him that if he even muttered one inappropriate thing about her he will quickly regret it. He isn't interested in chancing it.
• He doesn't care what anyone says about his rap-skills. He still thinks his rhymes are gold even after all the years of ridicule that has passed.

• Throughout the history of music, one can barely come across as controversial, mysterious, dark and sensational as the band known as Mayhem. A Black Metal band formed by guitarist Øystein Aarseth and bassist Jørn Stubberud, whom would soon take up the stage names of "Euronymous" and "Necrobutcher" respectively, they main focus was to create music that delved into hatred, misanthropy and Satanism. They were soon joined along by vocalist Per Yngve Ohlin and drummer Jan Axel Blomberg who would take up the monikers of "Dead" and "Hellhammer" respectively. Their music was some of the most raw, darkest and most macabre in its years with distorted guitar play, devilish shrieking courtesy of Dead and their willingness to be as chaotic and violent as they could get (Dead would take shards of glass and mutilate himself during live performances, an act which Euronymous supposedly enjoyed). Then, on 8th of April, 1991, Dead committed suicide, leaving behind a note that started with "Excuse the blood". The moment he discovered his corpse, Euronymous bought a disposable camera and took photos of Dead's body to use as an upcoming album cover for a live album, Dawn of the Black Hearts. The event and the resulting reaction drove Mayhem into further controversy, with Necrobutcher feeling disgusted and leaving the band. The vocalist position was taken over by Varg Vikernes who went by Count Grishnackh. More tensions, arson attacks on churches and increasing controversy still played a role on Black Metal's lifetime, yet Mayhem would continue with it's disproportionately chaotic and dysfunctional position. Then, one of the greatest controversies in music history occurred on the 10th of August, 1993; Euronymous was murdered by Varg over a dispute. Thus, began a series of arguments that would ask whether Euronymous deserved it or not. Nonetheless, Varg was sent to prison until 2009, though he was able to make material for Burzum during his jail time.
  • Despite Euronymous's murder, Mayhem would continue and would eventually move past it's controversial nature. While the band broke up after Euronymous's sudden death, Necrobutcher would return to reform the band in 1994 eith new band members and continue working on the band ever since. That said, Mayhem would be synonymous with the dark and ominous past it has had and it hasn't escaped with Hellhammer outright praising Emperor drummer Faust for killing a homosexual man. Regardless, Mayhem has left behind a very notable and significant part of the Second Wave of Black Metal and music history, in spite of it's dark nature.
• In his first few days in the Pantheon, Euronymous and Dead reunited, though they engaged in a brawl against one another. They kept going on, even after bystanders jumped in to break it up. After exhausting themselves, Euronymous and Dead would go their separate ways... until the latter encountered Necrobutcher who was surprised to see Dead alive after nearly three decades. Despite uneasy relations, Necrobutcher has decided to try helping him out as much as he could. His reunion with Euronymous was rather tense, though they decided to try playing a gig, even bringing along Hellhammer. Their setlist attracted Yuuki Terumi, who decided to jam in and play some Black Metal with one of the more infamous bands in it's time. It payed off; Terumi was thoroughly impressed and got along splendidly with Euronymous thanks to their misanthropic views in life.
• Melkor decided to invite Mayhem to play at a specific venue in one of the GUAE's established settlements. They've since become one of the most successful acts playing there, with a few GUAE members even jumping in to try playing with them. However, as of now, Terumi is the only one who's got the privilege and that's mainly he's Euronymous's friend (as much as Terumi can muster and define said relationship). Despite his overall hatred for the House of Musicality, Melkor will make an exception for Mayhem, given their lyrics are centered around misanthropy, death, hatred and discord, all of which Melkor advocates for.
• Euronymous has made it very clear that he doesn't call himself a "God" just because he is ascended into the Pantheon. Not for the typical reason, but because he sees it as some sort of association to the Judeo-Christian God and he's a proud Theistic Satanist. Dead, Necrobutcher and Hellhammer don't seem to mind it all too much. Additionally, Euronymous doesn't call Melkor the God of Evil either because associating the Dark Lord with the "God" label makes no sense and that Melkor should instead go by his other acquired titles, most preferably "The Supreme Dark Lord" or "Dark Enemy of the World".
  • Melkor appreciates what Euronymous states, though he does assert that God of Evil is his formal title in the Pantheon and that the guitarist has to make do with it. That said, Melkor did figure out that there are a few tracks about him made by Varg himself, a fact that Euronymous does not take kindly.
• They completely scoff the idea of the Grand United Alliance of Law and clearly see YHVH as a "Satan wannabe" or at least in Euronymous's eyes. They're currently writing a track about how the GUAL is defeated by the GUAE with Melkor brutally mutilating YHVH to permanent death. The Dark Lord is rather pleased to see a band write about Melkor killing his enemies with style.
• Mayhem also dislike the Hall of Angels for pretty obvious reasons. The Hall, in return are pretty much adamant in Mayhem never coming to their pace if they ever considered touring. However, there is a Satan who actually likes Mayhem for their image and personality and the band have made him an exception in return.
• They have some form of respect towards Metallica, with Euronymous admitting that he was a fan before forming Mayhem. Although he's not happy with their success, he does feel somewhat prideful in that Metallica did pay tribute to Mayhem in some way via "ManUNkind". Mayhem aren't too sure if they're able to tour with Metallica, given the latter often plays in Houses where Mayhem would obviously feel uncomfortable in.
• Mayhem is arguably the most controversial music artist in the Pantheon, and it's not really surprising given their history. It makes the band somewhat uncomfortable, given they're a victim of sensationalism and there are plans for a film and books about the history of Mayhem. So far, Euronymous is unhappy, mainly because most of the adaptations tend to make him out as a sociopathic monster who took advantage of Dead's suicide. The other band members are also unhappy, but mainly because they feel that the adaptations don't exactly depict them accurately.
  • It doesn't help in that each and every concert they're in, Dead is resorting in macabre activities that he had also done in his mortal life. This time around, Necrobutcher is trying to make sure he's there for Dead and provides him with some sort of therapy and guidance. Dead seems rather quiet about the subject.
  • Seeing Euronymous and Dead together several years after their deaths has been a pretty creepy thought and moment for many people. Even more so is the reason that Dead simply goes on with his usual antics and plays long with Euronymous in gigs, despite the latter having a pretty good reason to hate the latter. That said, there are rumors that the two have violent fights against one another, if a few bruises and cuts from them have indicated according to a few eyewitnesses.
  • On another subject of controversy, Hellhammer is pretty much despised by any homosexual deity in the Pantheon. While Hellhammer hasn't exactly done anything towards gay people, it's the fact that he praised Emperor Drummer Faust for killing a gay man that's landed him into most homosexual's shit-list. Jack Harkness and Lexa are pretty dead-set on taking Hellhammer to the Court of the Gods. Many on the Hall of Couples Orientation also want to beat him down as a lesson. Hellhammer isn't fazed, and instead lashed out with more insults than usual. That said, he's keeping a safe distance from the House of Love and Affection just in case.
  • The only ostensibly gay being that Mayhem tolerates is Griffith and that's because he's a member of the Godhand. Griffith sees Mayhem's works as being pretty commendable, but flaunts about the fact that he already has songs about him. Euronymous is determined to start writing a track about Griffith and the Godhand at some point.
• Oddly enough, Mayhem hates Dethklok, mainly because despite the fact that Dethklok is a proud Death Metal band, they're also one of the most famous and most successful musicians in their world. In Euronymous's eyes, they're "pathetic sellouts who sold themselves to those bastard corporations". Dethklok on the other hand see Mayhem as tough wannabes and couldn't care less about their standards. They also have this feeling towards Gorillaz, thinking that their hopping from one genre to another only makes them tryhards in spite of them playing an entirely different genre.
  • In Euronymous's philosophy, to truly define themselves as Black Metal means to be as distant as possible from the mainstream and to embrace yourself in darkness, even through the music you're playing. Hence, he's a major contributor to many a fandom considering themselves "Trve Kvlt" in their stance in their musical preferences and list anything that goes against their expectations as garbage, even if there's a slight improvement in musical quality or commerce. It's overall a mixed bag, given that Mayhem has amassed quite the fanbase for itself, a dedicated and loyal one at that, though others see them as obnoxious and pretentious assholes.
• Other music artists that Mayhem takes an issue against are μ's, Houkago Tea Time, Miku Hatsune and Michael Jackson. They couldn't comprehend the general personality and musical take of the former three, with Mayhem even stating that the Houkago Tea Party are "perverting" Rock music. They also see μ's attempt at saving their school to be a joke and Euronymous and Hellhammer are not afraid of taking potshots at the band members. Funnily enough, Michael is the only one who actually notices Mayhem's disdain for him; the former three are too entrenched by their popularity and the love they have for each other and their band members to really notice Mayhem's hate for them.
  • In the same House, they also dislike The Guy, although they have the more petty reasoning in that they represent Disturbed, which Euronymous obviously sees as another "joke and insult to the name of Metal". That said, they have become aware of what he is really capable of and avoid any altercation altogether.
• Unsurprisingly, Necrobutcher is the only sane member in the band, a fact that he does not take kindly. He describes his experience with Euronymous as being "chaotic as all fuck" and the fact that he's trying to do his best possible to keep in check of Dead is an incredibly daunting task, given the latter suffers from clinical depression, self-harms himself constantly and buries his clothes under dirt. he fact that he's reunited with Euronymous just makes things worse.
  • Apparently, Necrobucher was "also on his way to kill Euronymous". Unfortunately, the way death works in the Pantheon isn't going to make the sitaution permanent, plus Varg had already done the deed before Euronymous could. Still, while he's continuing to play Mayhem, given that he's led the band since 1994, working with Euronymous again seriously pisses him off.
• Enemies with Eddie Riggs, mainly because Eddie is a hero who happens to be a metalhead and is firmly on the side of good, a fact which Mayhem cannot get by. Conversely, they get along with Lord Raptor and has even been a guest performer in their live plays, a rare feat shared with Terumi. Necrobutcher is known to get along with Ember McLain. The latter thinks it's cool to work with some of the darkest music artists out there and has agreed to help out Necrobutcher with helping out Dead in some way. While Ember would enjoy playing with Mayhem if given the time, she has difficulty with Euronymous, who insists on telling her to become a Satanist if they want to continue playing with them. She's rather neutral about Hellhammer, though she thinks he's an asshole of the highest kind, despite his experienced and masterful drumming skills.
• Thanks to Mayhem, demands for music venues and shows have become a possibility in areas and lands occupied by the GUAE. Euronymous has also managed to reestablish Helvete (Norwegian for Hell), a record store company dedicated to Black Metal music. Originally a small store that served as a social hub-spot for dedicated Black Metal players, It has soon expanded to other areas with occasional GUAE supporters and fans coming over to buy their albums and other sorts of Satanic souvenirs. The business-based GUAE members see this as a great opportunity to build up profit while Melkor sees this money-making business as a good means to invest for technological weaponry. So far, Mayhem haven't disclosed on what the others are thinking about the profits they themselves have earned.

Demigods

Elvis Presley

Elvis Aaron Presley, God of Rock and Roll Stars and Celebrities Suspected to Still be Alive (The King of Rock and Roll)

• Demigod^note don't call him a god though
• Symbol: His pompadour
• Theme Song: There's a lot, but for now he's chosen "Burning Love"
• Alignment: Neutral Good
• Portfolio: The Rock Star, '50s Hair, Southern Gentleman, Thought to Still be Alive and Possibly an Alien or Elf, Real Men Love Jesus (So Don't Call Him The King), Too Hot for TV, Loves Bacon and Food in General, Big Fancy House, Shoot the Television, The Lisa Marie, Sabotaged "Blue Christmas" and Yet it Became a Hit, Nice Guy, Memetic Hair
• Domains: Rock and Roll, Fame, Idols, Bacon
• Followers: The Kings
• Allies: Son Goku, Bill and Ted, Lilo and Stitch, Reuben, Angel, Billy Batson, Waylon Smithers, Tallahassee
• On good terms: Gods associated with rock and roll, most the House of Music and non-evil members of the House of Food, Josuke Higashikata
• Odd Friendship with: Ned Flanders
• Friendly Rivalry with: Michael Jackson, The Beatles
• Opposes: Jerkass producers and evil mothers, Mr Krabs, Nigel West Dickens
• Unclear relationship with: The Men in Black
• Elvis Aaron Presley is the Mississippi-born, Tennessee-raised son of common southern folk Gladys Love and Vernon Presley. Surviving his stillborn twin and a devastating tornado storm, they believed the kid was gonna be Born Lucky. As it turns out they were right; he would rise fast in the fifties as one of the greatest music artists of the era, and certainly one of the most iconic. After decades of shaking his hips for the angels (though some would argue he's been in hiding), the first true rock star returns in the Trope Pantheon.
• Known as the King of Rock and Roll, or simply "The King". He hates this phrase due to being a rather religious man, or as he puts "there's only one God, and He sure don't dress like me". Him and Ned Flanders got on surprisingly well for someone judged Too Hot for TV, though given he's got a big Beatles connection this isn't that unexpected.
• Waylon Smithers is a big fan of him, taking pride in the picture that Mr. Burns gave him with being next to Elvis. The latter couldn't understand a word he was saying. As Smithers puts it, "he was so good to his mother". Elvis was fine with him getting an autograph personally, though this could be in part interest in his boss' financial abilities and desire for funds.
• Has a Friendly Rivalry with Michael Jackson, his former son-in-law. They even had a rap battle. There's a similar rivalry with the Beatles who become one of the next popular things during what he considers his wane in popularity, but like Michael there's no hard feelings, specially as the Fab Four were his fans.
• Grew up a fan of Captain Marvel comics, even stylizing some of his outfits off him. It was a real treat for Elvis to meet Billy Batson in person.
• Practically worshiped by Lilo and Stitch, who consider him an idol to look up to. They use him as an example of a model citizen, and have tried to get him ascended. They succeeded, and Elvis gladly visits their temple for songs and autographs. Meanwhile, they're allowed to visit Graceland whenever they want for their help, and the duo have been working to have him meet their massive ʻohana, especially Stitch's "cousins"; Presley has since met at least two of the other experiments face-to-face (keep reading below on those).
  • Another fan of his, Tallahassee, was ecstatic to meet The King. Elvis was amused at his impersonation, the comments regarding his car ("It takes a real man to drive a pink Cadillac!") and even more, the cover he made of the song he picked as his theme! He makes sure to hang with "Florida" whenever possible, everything to please such a fan.
• He was utterly awed by Bill and Ted. Oh sure, he popularized rock and roll but they managed to create utopia as the Wyld Stallyns. He's nothing short of impressed by them, even asking for their autographs, leading them to Squee. He's gone on a time-travelling adventure with them of late.
• Likes Josuke Higashikata for defending the pompadour hairstyle, though until he learned just why he has the hair thought he went a bit overboard with it. Initially believed it was based off his own hairdo, but Josuke's stated it's a Prince nod.
• Official sources say he died at his throne due to heart complications and his addiction to prescription drugs. Many didn't believe this, and assume he's still alive, possibly undercover drug-busting with the FBI. Now that he's ascended Elvis seems fond of claiming this, however he's probably lying due to embarrassment over his Undignified Death.
• Suspected to have been some sort of alien, and gone home in 1977. The Men in Black have claimed this about him, and his appearances in the House of Extraterrestrials is somewhat suspicious. Most agree he's probably human, though many alien gods enjoy his works. On rare occasions he looks pretty elvish.
• Loves him some bacon, particularly burned bacon like ma used to make. Him and Goku bonded over their love of bacon, and was quick to take some of that heart medication Future Trunks got Goku. Was somewhat annoyed to learn that he's been trying to get rid of bacon stores in his timeline. You can often find Elvis in the House of Food, getting cheeseburgers on demand there.
  • Also really enjoys Reuben's sandwiches. Lilo and Stitch personally recommended the experiment to Elvis for his delicacies; when they first did so, Presley took the duo to the House of Food and introduced himself to Stitch's "cousin". Flattered to meet the man he's heard so much about from his cuz, Reuben whipped up a large batch of Fool's Gold Loaves and peanut butter, banana and bacon sandwiches, complimented with bottles of Perrier sparkling water, and joined the three gulping them all down. Presley said Reuben's sandwiches were second-to-none. He now makes weekly visits to Reuben's sandwich shop for lunch, always bringing Lilo and Stitch with him each and every time.
• Keeping with the "Elvis and the experiments" theme here, Stitch had really been wanting his "boojiboo" Angel to meet Presley for a while, but often couldn't because of both singers' separate performing schedules. Eventually though, he caught a break and got the two to meet each other. Angel swooned over how attractive and gentlemanly Elvis is, and couldn't help but blush when he told her how much he loved her rendition of "Can't Help Falling in Love" after seeing a recording of one of her performances. At Stitch's insistence, Elvis performed a number of his hits for her, especially "That's All Right, Mama" (Stitch tried to get Angel to learn about the song for some time; long story). Elvis later had Stitch and Angel perform with him at one of his concerts, with the aliens' ʻohana getting front row (or should we say front section) seats for the performance.
• Also spends his time in the House of Weapons and Travel. He has a lot of cars he wants to purchase, and feels like pulling his old Shoot the Television trick out again (he doesn't like cathode rays). He was briefly kicked out from the House of Theatre and Spectacle due to trying them out on the televisions there and pulling some pranks.
• Proud to admit that he loves his mom, and looks down on bad mothers. He shows contempt to exploitative bosses and con-artists as well.
• Has plenty of imposters, something he sees as rather flattering. Trying find someone to serve as the god of said trope. On his search he was pretty surprised to learn that in an alternate universe, Galactus lost his powers and essentially became the new Elvis of that reality.
• Doesn't know what to think about the state Richard Nixon is in, who wants him to pick up the slack on the war against drugs.

• Heavy Metal; that one genre that takes the speed and energy of Rock Music and quickens its pace alongside adding a sense of gloominess and aggression to it. Now, take what is already established, further its speed, make its sound even more aggressive, employ shouting, and make your lyrics very dark, visceral, and about mature subject matters. That's what results in Thrash Metal, which takes the technicality of Metal, amplifies its already aggressive nature, and adds in elements of Punk Rock and Hardcore Punk giving it a very angry and chaotic sound and feeling to it. While Venom may have established it first and others like Metallica, Megadeth, and Anthrax made the genre widespread, none of them have codified the genre's overall aggression, speed, and ferociousness more than Slayer. Formed in 1981 and having a humble start as a cover band, Slayer began their true work with 1983's Show No Mercy where they showcased their signature playing style, but it was 1986's Reign in Blood that really solidified Slayer as among Metal's greatest bands thanks to it's frightening and voracious sound, lyrics, and high energy, catapulting the band into the "Big Four of Thrash Metal". While the band had its number of hiccups, including members shifting, having to deal with Moral Guardians, their work suffering from a critical and commercial drop in the mid-late 1990s, and the death of guitarist Jeff Hanneman in 2013, Slayer's reputation and influence persevered, with their content even laying out the blueprint for future Death Metal and Black Metal acts. Slayer would release twelve albums and disband in 2019, by which then they were seen as one of the greatest and most important Heavy Metal artists ever.
• Of course, even after they disbanded, Slayer would, of course, remain a highly influential band, and this even persisted onto the Pantheon, who acknowledged Slayer's reputation, despite their own music being something that not everyone was into^note after all, Metal isn't meant to be a genre for everybody. On one particular day, each of the band's last lineup, consisting of founders, bassist and lead vocalist Tom Araya, guitarist Kerry King, and additional members, guitarist Gary Holt^note also played for Exodus, and drummer Paul Bostaph^note also played for bands like Exodus, Systematic, and Testament received a note that told them that they were invited to play together at a venue in Huntington Beach, California, where Slayer first formed. Despite some conflicting thoughts over the matter, the four banded together under the Slayer label and performed towards a crowd of thousands. At the end of the concert, Slayer was told that because of their influence, they were mentioned by who they assumed to be the Trope Pantheons and that they were said to have ascended into their ranks with the band representing Thrash Metal. With the announcement, the audience cheered as Slayer began to make plans for what they were going to do in a new world where they were seen as deities of sorts, something that felt polarizing for them.
• Of course, Slayer is one of the most popular Metal bands in the Pantheon, even if their sales don't say otherwise, and it is reflective of just how incremental they are to the Metal genre as a whole and with the way they've marketed their music. Some of Slayer's more dedicated fans wanted the band to become the main Metal representatives of the House of Musicality and replace Corey Taylor. All things considered, Slayer were rather humble with Corey's spot and they were okay with where they were. As expected with their music, they have a rather scary reputation with music fans, but most of the bandmates have been said to be rather Nice Guys in private and they, in return, tend to be very interactive and supportive of their fans. It's a rather stark contrast with the sort of music they play as well as their lyrical themes which tend to consist of dark subject matter like murder, cults, war, and Satanism.
• Much of Slayer's lyrics revolve around violent, warmongering beings, which tend to include some of history's most infamous and malevolent beings. One of their Signature Songs, Angel of Death is about Josef Mengele, which led to the band being called out for being Anti-Semitic and Nazi Sympathizers, much to the band's dismay. Slayer has made it clear that they wrote about Mengele because their former guitarist, Jeff Hanneman, was a history buff who was into World War II and they're well aware of the Nazi's infamy. Hanneman's father also fought in WWII and his brother even served in The Vietnam War. Fortunately for the band, many have seemed to listen, and as Slayer stated, everyone should know that Josef Mengele and the Nazis were not good people, and their songs are meant to highlight their depravity. On the other hand, the tale and reputation of the Red Skull, HYDRA, and Fritz Von Meyer were quite interesting given the number of acts they've committed to the point where there could be a story written on it. Sabaton being admirers of Slayer and writing songs that are explicitly Anti-Nazi has helped with the two being eager to your together.
  • Their decision to write a song about Deathshead caught the attention of the feared Nazi Hunter, B.J. Blazkowitz, himself a guitarist in his spare time. He quickly caught on with the fact that Slayer's focus on Nazis was simply out of interest and came to respect that, despite his own hatred towards them. Furthering this, B.J. ended up being a fan of Slayer's aggressive and chaotic musical style, even playing some tracks during his usual Nazi Huntin spree, much to Slayer's surprise, noting the morbid irony of slaughtering Nazis whilst listening to Angel of Death, Behind the Crooked Cross, and SS-3. B.J. even expressed a desire to fill in for Slayer as a touring guitarist for any upcoming tour in the Pantheon as a way to solidify their friendship, which the band was open to considering. Similarly, The Doomslayer was also a metalhead and approved of Slayer's songs as a great way to express his anger and provide some stress relief, even listening to the band's songs related to Satanism, partly to incite some irony over his reputation as a slayer of demons, though, he's not too interested in being a touring band member for Slayer, but not before throwing out his support for the band.
• Violent murderers and serial killers are no exception to Slayer's lyrical content and, as such, those like Michael Myers, Freddy Krueger, Jason Voorhees, and Chucky have plenty of gory material and viciousness to get descriptive on. Amusingly, Leatherface being real alongside the fact that he was inspired by John Wayne Gacy, who was the lyrical subject of Dead Skin Mask was something Slayer noticed rather quickly. It helps that Tom Araya not only is interested in serial killers but is also a fan of horror movies, even watching them with his wife and kids to pass the time, with Tom having to affirm to his kids that the movies are fictional and that there's no need to be scared. He's a bit more taken aback when some of the most vicious movie villains are now real and he's made it more than clear that he and the band condemn their actions. Finally, the less said about the murder of Elyse Palmer by a trio of murderous Satanists and the resulting lawsuit that the band had to deal with, the better.
• You probably expect Slayer to always be projecting a manly and rough image to the public and you'd be forgiven, considering how angry and aggressive their music is. Surprisingly most of the band members are pretty respectable and even loving towards animals, especially when they helped a kitten in Indianapolis find a new home and Gary Holt in particular is a general cat lover. The band has a good relationship with the Hall of Felines and Gary and Tom, being occasional visitors there like to tend and care for any kittens there if they can, with Gary making as many preparations as he can on Saturdays, or "Caturday" as he'd like to call it. Kerry has a fondness for reptiles and amphibians, even owning a herpetology nursery called the "Psychotic Exotics" and likes to visit the Hall of Reptiles to check and see his favorite animals and probably learn something new about them. Kerry does wish a Hall of Amphibians is established one day and learn about living prehistoric reptiles and dinosaurs, he's planning to give the halls of Prehistoric Beasts and Mesozoic Beasts a visit one day.
• With songs like Jesus Saves^note the title is sarcastic, and an album called God Hates Us All, one would think Slayer is anti-religious and you'd be right… about Kerry King, who has admitted to being an antitheist and has an opposition against organized religion. Of course, he doesn't like the House of Religion and Faith and personally doesn't like being called a god, a sentiment that he shares with the members of Mayhem. Regarding a question on what kind of powers he would have as a supervillain, Kerry stated he would like to have "the ability to burst a church into flames by simply walking by it." Of course, he doesn't want them, knowing that it wouldn't work well for his reputation and he's certainly not going to kill someone. In contrast, Tom Araya is actually a Roman Catholic, which made a number of deities wonder just how were Tom and Kerry able to perform together for decades despite their diametrically differing thoughts on religion, let alone how Araya singing a song about God being malevolent.
  • For very obvious reasons, YHVH is the one deity in the Pantheon that Slayer detests. Kerry, in particular, hates YHVH so much after learning about his villainous actions and being an anthropomorphic representation of Maltheism that he sarcastically thanked the malevolent god for inspiring him to write a bunch of songs about him or under his perspective^note the songs are actually real, though Kerry doesn't deny his opposition. Tom is rather apprehensive, given his own Christian beliefs, while Gary and Paul generally don't give much thought to it, while YHVH, on the other hand, is somewhat peeved to hear that some band is writing unflattering music about the "one, supreme being", but has other matters to tend to. Damien Thorn was amused to hear that Slayer has a song called The Antichrist and he even came to hear and like the track himself to the point where he would put it under his playlist if he ever had one. Slayer was not too happy about Damien liking their music, if mainly because Damien is an actual threat they can stumble upon and him liking their music could result in bad PR. Damien doesn't hold it against Slayer, even calling Kerry hilarious for his comment about burning down churches whenever he walked by, much to the guitarist's chagrin.
• Sure, the worst of the worst is something that a lot of Metal bands would base their lyrics on. Slayer themselves have written about some particularly vile people, and they've personally admitted that Johan Liebert and Junko Enoshima are up there in writing material. Johan personally doesn't care much, but Junko was downright ecstatic about the idea of herself being the main character in a song and even more so when said song would be about the pain and torture she inflicted upon the students of Hope's Peak Academy and "The Tragedy". The idea around a song on Junko was a hot topic for the academy students, but Slayer wrote a personal message to them that they apologize if they traumatized or offended them in any way, not to mention that they are obviously not going to support Junko's actions, alongside any of the other criminals and monsters they write their songs about. Fortunately, the one time the band met with Makoto Naegi, everyone involved was relieved to learn that Slayer didn't mean any harm. As a bonus, the band even got to meet and play some music with Ibuki Mioda, who has since been practicing how to headbang and play faster as well as playing Slayer songs the next time she gets to play with the band.
• Unlike most other harsh and aggressive bands, Slayer doesn't present any sort of animosity or hard rivalry with Houkago Tea Time. This was especially impressive as Dethklok looked up to the Thrash Metal pioneers and Mayhem also paid credit as an influence to their own sound. While Slayer obviously isn't into what the girls usually play, they themselves aren't immune to their own cute moments, especially with Gary himself being a grandfather and a cat lover. Yui Hirasawa once called Tom over to have some tea and provide backup bass. Turns out Tom could actually sing clean and normal as he admits to playing country music to hone his skills. Of course, the rest of Houkago, sans Yui, find Slayer to be too scary and loud, but the band themselves find the whole situation rather amusing and like to poke fun, albeit they make sure none of it is malicious. Houkago does have some experience in dealing with a metalhead, namely their teacher and club advisor, Sawako Yamanaka, and Slayer found her attempts in hiding her fun-loving Metalhead persona rather charming, though they did visit Sawa-chan a visit and gave her a private live performance that supposedly made her day. Much to everyone's surprise, Tom and Gary do drink tea with Yui and play pranks to scare off the other girls, though Paul Bostaph is open to giving Ritsu Tainaka some advice about drumming, hoping that she can use it to be more technical in her playing style in case she couldn't go too aggressive. Hopefully, one hopes that Slayer's affable, yet vitriolic relationship with Houkago does put a halt to Dethklok and Mayhem's antagonism towards them.
• Of course, Slayer wouldn't be where they are right now if it weren't for their fans, be it as one of Heavy Metal's most celebrated artists or a place in the Pantheon, being able to play at their peak in however way they like it. As a bonus, they've also attracted a slew of new fans like Princess Luna and Iron Man, with the former being a surprise Metalhead to her friends and close ones and the latter being open about his taste in music. Slayer themselves were pleasantly surprised to see an alicorn and a superhero being a fan of their music, though they're a bit skeptical on how their music would fare in Equestra if they ever tour there. Supergirl at times listens to Hard Rock and Metal and sometimes sees Slayer as one of her preferred artists to listen to if she either wants to vent out her anger or stress or wants to beat the ever-living daylights out of someone, though she gets embarrassed about the idea of spilling literal Raining Blood on her worst days. Sure Slayer is happy to see that Supergirl likes their work, but they also want to affirm her not to put too much association with her mood on that out of concern on both sides. That, and there's some humor to be had in that Superman likes Metallic more while Supergirl prefers Slayer.
• Apparently, there are claims that Slayer, in addition to being an opponent according to Moral Guardians, is also an act that terrifies hippies because according to Eric Cartman, "hippies can't stand Death Metal". Slayer snickered at the comment at first, until some people started to think that they are the first Death Metal band, which quickly began to annoy them, not to mention they're in the Pantheon to represent Thrash Metal. That said, Eric hasn't really learned much as he continues to see Slayer as a Death Metal band, mainly because he wants to get on everyone's nerves, including hardcore metalheads if need be. Beavis and Butthead, on the other hand, have made several attempts to butt heads with Slayer and despite their annoying antics, Slayer is a bit more tolerant of them, seeing as they just want to jam out their music and they think Slayer's music is apparently "peaceful and soothing".
• Overall, Slayer have carved one of the strangest, yet most well-known reputations as a band in the Pantheon, thanks to their willingness to get explicit in their lyricism about evil individuals and heinous actions. Some have actually approved of Slayer's efforts in vilifying their acts and reputation, though that might be because they crave the notion of being a villain and the infamy that is generated by their acts. Others, like Hannibal Lecter, Light Yagami, and most Nazis are either more neutral or annoyed by Slayer writing songs about them, with Hannibal claiming that their style doesn't fit with his perspective of what he desires as "classy and sophisticated" while Light is irritated by the band supposedly making his actions out to be degrading, though he realized that killing the band would raise suspicions on him if he ever does so. Nazis, on the other hand, see Slayer's music as insulting to their ideals and their wartime efforts, which oddly enough, ended up with them being compared to moral guardians in that regard, further prompting many of the Nazis to openly condemn Slayer of their music being slandering and an attack on their ideology, which the band reacted with some amusement.

   Raining Blood,   
   From a lacerated sky,   
   Bleeding its horror,   
   Creating my structure,   
   Now I shall reign in blood!!!

• Formed in Columbus, Ohio in 2013, Starset began when frontman Dustin Bates and bassist Ron DeChant were just nearing the end of their work with Downplay, their previous band. After receiving a call from one Dr. Aston Wise of the Starset Society, an acquaintance that Dustin had met in the past, the former was given a proposal of helping promote a message that was received from the future in the form of a band. At first, Dustin was skeptical of the offer, especially considering the fact that it was a transmission from the future. Eventually, after giving it some thought and looking into it more, he was on board with the proposal and eventually formed Starset with Ron, guitarist Brock Richards, and drummer Adam Gilbert. As the years have gone by, touring members have come and gone. Eventually, the current lineup has settled on violinist Siobhan Cronin, cellist Zuzana Engererova (simply known as Z), and multi-instrumentalist Cory Juba. As the transmissions came from an entirely different planet but were of human origin, that resulted in the space-like aesthetics of the first two albums both in sound and lyrical content. However, as a new dystopian future came to light with the previous one becoming an Alternate Timeline thanks to the actions taken in the present, the aesthetics shifted into more terrestrial matters with the new future surrounding a neural lace and the resulting war on consciousness.
• A seemingly-anonymous transmission was sent to the Starset Society with specific instructions needing to be relayed to the band. The only thing that could be noted as some sort of identifier were the initials T.P. After making contact with everyone, they were instructed to gather at a specific venue on their own time; no band gear, instruments, or stage outfits. Upon arrival to the venue and walking through the door, they were greeted with the sight of the Pantheon with the Court of the Gods right before them. Starset was a big candidate for ascending to represent Space Rock within the Pantheon given their purposeful references and well-crafted sound that is often associated with the genre. The band was still letting the fact of the matter sink in, taking a moment to talk amongst themselves regarding the proposal. Dustin, being the main force behind the band, has made it known that there is so much more behind them and that their work is more cinematic in nature than it is simply space. However, he does understand where the Court is coming from in terms of why they are a candidate. Eventually, after further discussion, the band accepts their place in the House of Musicality.
  • Given that it was due to their influence and proposal that Dustin started Starset in the first place, it was requested for Aston, the Starset Society in general, and Thomas Bell to be their heralds. It took a bit of discussion with the House of Time and Temporality in regards to Thomas, given that the world he comes from is of an alternate timeline and in the year 2047. However, it was his story that inspired the band's first album and, given that Dustin has the most contact with the Starset Society compared to the rest of the band, he wanted to make sure that Thomas knew his message was received and that his efforts weren't in vain.
  • Dustin's dog, Ernie, was also given allowance to be present due to being the band's sort-of mascot.
  • A sentient AI known as MNQN, formally known as MNON, was also requested by Dustin to be a herald due to the two of them having worked together in the past and he didn't feel right leaving her out. While the initial reason for their meeting was due to her taking on his visage and voice without his knowledge, he eventually did understand her plight and was willing to offer his assistance in her own endeavors. After the release of the resulting album under her name, MNQN retains a form of gratitude towards Dustin for actually being genuine in helping her and letting her vent her experience with Sentience Corp without judgement. The experience helped her continue to develop her own individuality so accepting the role as a herald was seen as a way to return the favor for all that he did for her.
• Their temple is not so much a temple as it is a sci-fi planetarium with the ceiling being a very large dome shaped screen. This screen can shift to showcase the different constellations and night skies of many different worlds. The planetarium is also filled with holograms that can shift to showcase different star systems and planets on a small scale. Off to the side, in a separate room, is a personal workshop where the more crafty members of the band (like Dustin and Adam) can work in if they don't feel the need to visit the other houses. Within the very center of the planetarium's main room is a large, circular stage. While the band does tour the Pantheon in general, performing within their own temple is not unlike performing a hometown show. Due to the circular stage, the setup would end up incorporating the main room as a whole rather than just the stage platform.
• While the band acts more as the voice of the Starset Society, they are still connected with their workings and the fact that they have received various transmissions from the future. Because of that connection, Dustin often takes guidance from those in the House of Time and Temporality willing to offer it so as to not cause any unneeded disruption or accidental damage. It did take a moment for Dustin to stop nerding out considering who some of the other present deities are...
• The band does aim to do their usual demonstrations around the Pantheon as ascension shouldn't get in the way of both playing music and promoting their message. Among their destinations are the House of Knowledge, the House of Space and Cosmos, the House of Machinery and Technology, and the House of Musicality. Due to their stance, they are adamant about staying out of the Pantheonic Forever War unless their assistance is absolutely necessary. Even then, the only one with some of the proper hands-on experience is Dustin due to his background as an engineer. So, while he does frequent the House of Machinery and Technology to help prototype and develop new items to help enhance the band's stage setup, he doesn't want to personally involve himself in the various large conflicts. He isn't afraid to speak up about anything, though.
  • The Starset Society's (and, in turn, Starset's) stance on technology is in support of it while also being aware of how much of a double-edge sword it can be. Due to that, they are very much weary of the more anti-organic movements of the Machine Uprising like The Assimilation and Rex Machina. On the flipside, they respect both the Gears Of Liberation and the Clockwork Union for their stances of seeking their right to exist and coexist. Should members of either the Gears or the Union desire support or reparations if they are damaged, the Starset Society is willing to provide.
  • Upon learning about what had happened in his world and his great efforts in science, Starset and the Starset Society support and are willing to assist Senku Ishigami in his endeavors. The Starset Society is also accepting any newfound knowledge from Senku should any come to light.
• Nikola Tesla is an interesting figure to bring up around members of the Starset Society, Starset included, given some of his actions in their universe. Overall they respect his genius and innovation alongside his contributions to the world of technology. At the same time, the Nikola of their universe is also (chronologically) the first one to receive Thomas' transmissions and one of the originators of the Order of Teslonia, a group that is the main opposition to the Starset Society as of present day. So while there is no vitriol and the Starset Society is willing to work with him due to the fact different incarnations of a single person can exist in the Pantheon, there is still a slight air of unease.
• Due to the marriage between Siobhan and Brock, some of their interactions can be seen within the waters of the Bonding Fountain. When the two of them have heard about the fountain itself and what other deities are capable of with it, they have vocalized concerns regarding the matter. It doesn't sit right with them to know that their relationship can be meddled with due to outside forces like that and have requested that they remain unaffected by such meddling if the effort is possible. They feel it better for the developments of their relationship to be more natural.
  • That said, due to their more musical dedications among other things, they never really visit that house in general.
• Due to their status as touring musicians even if they are as much as a part of Starset as the other members, Siobhan, Zuzana, and Cory also offer their talents to the other musicians in the House of Musicality should any of them require it. Siobhan and Zuzana are often with the more classical musicians due to the fact that they are well versed with their respective orchestral instruments. However, they don't shy away from helping those in other genres, especially rock, if they need some of that symphonic element. Cory, due to being a multi-instrumentalist, can cover a variety of areas should an extra guitar be needed or if synths are on the table. Due to that, he can be seen with different electronic artists and other rock musicians.
• Adam does a lot of art on the side whenever he isn't at a drum kit so, when he feels like creating something, he often visits the House of Craft to start off. Given his approach with art is more along the lines of splatter art, he is often a target of interest from various Inklings and Octolings whenever he's around. Thanks to the interest, Adam decided to try returning the favor; working with and helping inspire them. It might not be long until Adam starts making his art with a Splattershot, Inkbrush, or any other weapon the Inklings/Octolings use.
• Thanks to the new timeline depicting the dystopia under the Brain Machine Interface and the horrors of Supplication should those out of line be punished with it, the band are very sympathetic towards those who have had to endure similar dystopian settings alongside those who are taking action against the people who run them in order to create a better world. The members of San Fransisco's DedSec are an example of those that have netted Starset's respect for making use of the technology they have in their efforts in such an endeavor.
• After meeting and helping MNQN, Dustin had developed a soft spot for AI personalities that are just developing their own individuality and it hurts him to know that some have either struggled with or have had resistance against such a desire. Connor, Kara, and Markus from their version of Detroit have his sympathies due to all that they went through and he is willing to stand by them if anyone tries to bring them down. After them, there was Aigis and Labrys. Even if Dustin still had to let the phenomena of Personas sink in, he still wanted to connect with them and help them hone their sense of self. Alongside that, they would be able to bond over their canine companions with Aigis meeting Ernie and Dustin meeting Koromaru. And then there was Data, someone Dustin knew he had to be patient with. He knew the other wanted to learn more but, given the complexity of emotions, there's a lot to learn and take in. That said, it really isn't best explained as it is experienced. With this in mind, Dustin holds out an open offer to Data to join him in on a music session. After all, music can convey a lot.
  • Because of this soft spot, he is also weary of those who try to take advantage of these sorts of AI personalities whether it be viruses, malevolent hackers, or something else entirely.
• Not long after their arrival into their respective house, the band eventually encountered Linkin Park among the various other bands present. Given that they were cited as an inspiration for Starset's sound, seeing the band both ascended and reunited was a tearful and welcome sight. With the chance to properly interact for the first time, both bands were able to become friends with each other and were able to relate to wanting to break the mold in music and experiment with their sounds. Not only that, it isn't a rare sight to see some of the more serious members like Dustin and Ron join in on some of the goofing around that Chester may start.
  • It is likely that, if Starset hadn't ascended, they would have been followers due to how often their songs, especially "My Demons", have been used in various fan-made videos.
• There has been expressed interest in meeting with the Rhodes Island Operators, especially Vigna who is a diehard fan of the music genres the Hall they reside in represents — should any of them also ascend to the Pantheon due to the musical contributions they have made for them. At the same time, they have made it a note to be careful due to the fact that many of the operators have Oripathy which is both lethal and contageous. For their sake and others, should it come down to it, Starset is willing to set up a system for them to remotely attend any of their demonstrations should any of them express interest.
• Due to Ernie also being present with the band, there have been some concerns regarding a dog wandering through the House of Musicality. Dustin has made sure to reassure everyone that Ernie is well behaved and is safe around various music equipment; he has traveled with the band on their tours many times with little issue, after all.
  • A rule has been made, however, that Ernie is not allowed to stray far from Dustin whenever both of them are in the house's various studios.
• The House of Machinery and Technology is always on the ready in case something goes wrong during a demonstration due to how much tech is used for the stage setup. Since Dustin always has the urge to take everything one step further in order to help the performance feel more immersive, a lot of effort is taken to keep the tech well maintained and to keep Dustin from overworking himself or doing too much for him to handle.
  • The House of Costumes works in tandem with the House of Machinery and Technology in regards to Starset for this same reason, especially since the spacesuit costumes that Brock, Ron, and Adam wear on stage are also made with specialized tech made for the band's performances (the lights and fog jets that sync with the music being among them). Both houses do commend Dustin's ambitions and innovation for the sake of the show but, at the same time, want to make sure he knows when it becomes too much without taking away the intent and vision he has.
• As they are a part of a pantheon, they aren't really surprised to know that plenty of the other present deities have come from actual mythological origin. What they didn't expect, however, is that they have netted the attention of a titan; Prometheus, specifically. It was understandable given who he is; someone who sought to help humanity and gift them knowledge, even if it meant defying the authority of the gods of the Olympian Pantheon. It is strange to net such respect from a being of greater power than them but they aren't opposed to it. In fact, they appreciate and welcome it. They would get along well with the titan due to these shared values. If Prometheus ever became curious and attended any of their demonstrations, he would be welcome to join the audience.

• Nine Inch Nails is an Industrial Metal band that has been around since 1988 and their career has largely been defined by Trent Reznor, who has not only been the only member to stick around since the band’s beginning, but is more or less the only member of the group for most of the band's time. Although not the first to play the style of that genre, he was the one who popularized it with his albums Pretty Hate Machine and The Downward Spiral. Since then, he has done a wide variety of projects both in and out of the band, with Atticus Ross being a prominent contributor in Reznor’s later years.
• While continuing to work on his music, Reznor heard rumors of an unusual place known only as the Pantheon, where a variety of people, including skilled musicians reside and visit. He was understandably skeptical about those rumors at first. During one of his tours, he ended up coming across a large gate and was told that he was in the Pantheon and that he was welcome there for the kind of music that he’s done. While he isn’t staying at that place full-time, he does make visits and play music there as part of his tours.
• Isn't really amused by the fact that one of his most notable songs, "Closer" is known mainly by its legendary chorus. Plenty of beings (mainly the more brazenly horny ones) have taken the song to be about sex rather than the Obsession Song that Reznor has stated it is and have even tried to use it as sort of a twisted love song for the more intimate and mature parts of the Pantheon. While it does work for loud clubs, it’s very clear that it does not work in a romantic atmosphere at all.
• David Bowie has generally been seen as a major influence on Reznor’s work. Not only is Reznor a fan of Bowie’s work, but he toured with Bowie in 1995, did a remix of I’m Afraid of Americans (alongside being in that song’s music video), and later did an instrumental cover of another Bowie song (Life On Mars). As far as musical tours in the Pantheon are concerned, the two have been a fairly popular pick for double acts.
  • Besides Bowie, there are a few other musicians that Reznor holds in high regard. Queen served as another inspiration for him and he’s even stated that Freddie Mercury’s death had more of an impact on him than that of John Lennon’s death. Reznor is a fan of Roger Waters’ work and was even excited when the two were being interviewed together. Reznor actually didn’t have any issue with Waters admitting to not having listened to any of Nine Inch Nails’ songs.
• Much of his earlier work has some dark themes and lyrics, making some wonder about Reznor’s state of mind. While he is a nice person all things considered, he has had bouts of depression at some point in his life (and The Downward Spiral revolved around someone who was depressed and on the brink of suicide). He was eventually able to recover from it and his later work mostly hasn’t been as bleak as before. He’s become good friends with Kousei Arima for being another skilled musician that had to deal with a troubled life.
  • Linkin Park, a band that was partially influenced by Nine Inch Nails, had a member (Chester Bennington) that had gone through several personal problems similar to Reznor. Bennington’s story, despite going through a good career with Linkin Park and out of that band, didn’t end nearly as well as Reznor did. Regardless, Both Reznor and Linkin Park do have a habit of being experimental in their music and Bennington cited Nine Inch Nails as an influence on his work.
• Besides making music in the band, Reznor has done his fair share of music for certain films. Lisbeth Salander, a deity having come from a film that Reznor did the score for, heard of Reznor and expressed interest in briefly meeting up with him. A meeting between the two later happened, with Lisbeth expressing gratitude towards him, and in turn, Reznor gave her a special device that had his music stored so that she can have something to listen to while at work.
• In addition to his work on film, Reznor has done some work on video games. He has provided music for Quake, the theme music for Call of Duty: Black Ops II, was involved with an alternate reality game based on one of his albums, and is a fan of the original Doom. He was also going to have been the sound engineer for Doom Slayer’s third outing, but was unable to finish his work due to time. Some people also mistakenly thought that Reznor used the actual Polybius cabinet for one of his music videos, but it turned out to be for an unrelated game of the same title and many don’t know how things will turn out if he actually did use the cursed arcade cabinet (or something similar such as Pony Island) for a music video. Speaking of games, Vinny, who happens to be a gamer and musician, is a fan of Reznor’s work and will sometimes play a song from Reznor on his streams during breaks.
• Reznor is rather unsettled when around Master Hand and especially Crazy Hand, as a work of his, Year Zero portrays a similar entity as responsible for The End of the World as We Know It. Master Hand understands Reznor's fears somewhat, while Crazy Hand has taken to intentionally replicating The Presence's pose to scare Reznor for a few laughs, much to his and Master Hand's annoyance. On a more serious note, given the album’s theme of a dystopian future, Reznor has a pronounced animosity towards those in the Pantheon that are actively trying to turn that place into a dystopia much like what’s been described in the album.
• One fairly dark project of his was something known as The Broken Movie, which serves as a short film based on one of his Extended Plays and can be described as something resembling a snuff film. Lionel Starkweather, who has made a living working on snuff films, saw it and believed that it fell into such a category regardless of it being used to promote music. Reznor clearly wasn’t happy with the fact that someone took the idea of it being a snuff film too seriously and was more upset at the fact that the person who believed that has made a number of them.

• Johnny seems to be the typical resident in the city of Jingletown, United States. However, deep within him is a myriad of chaotic thoughts and beliefs, such as being alienated by his country's politics, the general uneventfulness of his life, and a general disdain for his suburban town, not to mention a broken down and dysfunctional household. At the peak of his rebellious nature, Johnny opts to start a "revolution" in his town whilst also desiring usual teenage goals like moving into the big city and desiring female companionship. However, hard times fall on him, leading to drug abuse and the creation of an alter ego, St. Jimmy, who actively encourages Johnny's worst impulses and further alienates his family and friends as well as damages his life. Seeing that none of his goals are coming to fruition as well as becoming too distant from those close to him, Johnny returns to Jingletown. It takes a while, but after struggling with his rage and love and the trepidation of leading a rebellious life with failing results, Johnny accepts his losses and accepts his faults for shaping him to be the person he currently is. That, and anticipating the possibility of hope.
• It had been a while since Johnny's time as a rebel who had wanted to escape his home life and start a revolution out of his opposition against authority and politics, only to return empty-handed and alienated after realizing how pointless being a rebel was. And though he can try to get his life back on track and has had some introspection on his experiences, his life is still the same as it had always been. That is until he found a peculiar mail addressed to him. Johnny read that he was appointed a place in the Pantheon as his story had a prominent influence on his life and thoughts and as well as being a lesson about the recklessness and troubles of leading a rebel life. Unlike most, Johnny didn't really have much anticipation about the Pantheon, or whatever it was from his perspective, but soon enough, he ended up getting notified by a broadcast of a political debate in the House of Philosophy and that this was where he realized that the Pantheon was a bigger deal than he thought.
• Despite all the fantastical elements and information the Pantheon has presented itself has, Johnny largely feels apathetic towards most of it, even the influential presences of the Houses of Magic and Sorcery and Machinery and Technology don't do much to sway his vision. As far as he knows, Johnny feels as if he needs to focus on finding ways to better his own life and maintain the relationships he had with his family and friends as much as he can, though as far as he thinks, getting any sort of help or finding new friends in the Pantheon is rather difficult, given that Johnny is still struggling with his own laziness. On a grander scale, he personally doesn't like the rising prominences of YHVH and Lucifer, though it's mainly because they kick-started a rebellion and as far as Johnny has learned, it ends up making things worse for everyone involved. When notified of his thoughts, Johnny was more surprised to see that he was seen as a critic in regards to the Pantheon's events, let alone two of its most notable figures, considering he wouldn't want to get too involved with that topic.
• While Johnny has a lot to learn from what he went through in his teenage and rebellious phase, love and romance have proven to be among the hardest ones to get by. It's not enough that Johnny couldn't maintain his relationship with a girl, but sometime after their separation, he can't even remember her name and he can only remember the girl through his thoughts and recollections, hence why she's known to him (and everyone else) as Whatsername. Johnny frequently has nostalgic memories of her, though he expresses it with unease. This is especially apparent when he approached the House of Love and Affection as his thoughts on Whatsername have been overwhelming to him. Some deities have tried to help him out in this regard and have recommended Johnny to visit the Hall of Romantic Loss on a weekly basis as a way to communicate with others who may have gone through a similar ordeal and connect with them. Johnny has taken up the offer, and while talking about Whatsername and the prospect of love is difficult, he's been noted to have been making some progress on the matter.
• Being a youth who had a fascination for being a rebel, Johnny met an unlikely figure in Ferris Bueller, who was different in that he was a school skipper and was more motivated by the joys of being a free spirit and hanging out with friends, though they shared a similarity in wanting to venture into the big city as part of their rebellious nature. Of course, Ferris was more successful, having had his fun and maintaining a close friendship, which upset him when he saw that for Johnny, it was a path to self-destruction that resulted in h distancing himself from his family and then damaging his relations with others. Being a good soul, Ferris offered to at least meet with Johnny and even take him around, albeit in a more controlled way to make sure he doesn't slip up in descriptive habits like taking drugs. Johnny was reluctant at first but eventually accepted, which became a starting point for their friendship. While Johnny is coarse and jerkish, something that Ferris has had to contend with, he's adamant in at least trying to get Johnny to appreciate the finer parts of life, which is proving to be hard.
• Given the tribulations that came with being addicted to drugs and the subsequent emergence and influence of St. Jimmy, Johnny is quite hesitant when it came to drugs. He's aware that several music artists like Metallica have advocated against it with their music and he can see himself connecting with those songs, particularly Master of Puppets. On an extended note, he's been thinking about getting a counselor from the House of Despondency as recommended by his family and friends about his emotional and social struggles. Of course, trying not to sound like a Jerkass is pretty hard, but Johnny is trying nonetheless. Corey Taylor of Slipknot and Stone Sour has been a positive influence on him ever since they first met, with Corey giving him some good advice about dealing with substance abuse, depression, and anxiety, given that Corey himself has dealt with these issues back in his youth and has urged Johnny to remain strong and vigilant in his life. And not fuck it up, of course.
• He has a rather skewed perspective in regards to politics, so by extension, Johnny has had some conflicting thoughts on the House of Leadership as that was where most politicians were recognized. Considering that he came from a time when politics reached a very turbulent and controversial stage, not to mention his rebel phase being motivated by him wanting to rebel against said authority, it wasn't a thought that was going to go away anytime soon. Johnny would have opposed the House of Leadership back in the past but has been mostly apathetic and most of his associates tell him to focus on his own needs and health than on politics. That said, he does have a small amount of respect for Jed Bartlet, if mainly because outside of his profession as a United States president, he's a good man who wants to provide for his family and friends as well as wanting the best for his nation, though Bartlet has seen his share of problems and Johnny feels as if his leadership and heart may not be enough to preserve the United States's core values, give. That his thoughts and teachings are a bit outdated. On the other hand, Johnny is critical of Frank Underwood, seeing him as corrupt and self-serving due to his actions engineering Pretexts for War though he is not wholly aware of the larger and more malicious acts of crime Frank is truly capable of.
• While on a possible road to recovery, Johnny is still quite haunted by his experiences regarding St. Jimmy and even feels anxious that he might come back in some way, despite his best attempts at keeping his distance from drugs. That said, Johnny's issues regarding drugs and trying to lead a debauched lifestyle led him to Bojack Horseman who, despite being a large Hollywood star back in the day, eventually fell out in his personal life and retreated to drugs, alcohol, and self-destructive tendencies which, alongside having to deal with his troubled childhood, plagued his many attempts to become a better person, though Bojack would eventually succeed thanks to a couple of friends offering him emotional and social support, something that Johnny had issues with. Despite their contrasting backgrounds, the two became well-acquainted with each other as they had a similar feeling of being Their Own Worst Enemy. Bojack would often invite Johnny to his place so the two could talk with each other as well as introduce the latter to the former's friends, feeling that it may help Johnny open up and take further steps into bettering himself.
  • Speaking of Bojack, Johnny ended up encountering a good friend of his, Todd Chavez, once Johnny paid a visit to the Hall of Romantic Loss as usual, which Chavez also frequented on a few occasions. There, Chavez was interested to learn of what Johnny went through and was intrigued, yet despondent to learn of Johnny's struggles with drugs, being a rebel, and with Whatsername, but Chavez still kept up an optimistic outlook and told Johnny that regardless, he'll still do his best to look out for and help Johnny out in whatever way he can. Johnny was grateful for once and went on to become a good friend to Chavez. They'll often have a few doses of drugs, but Chavez is insistent on making sure they don't take one of the more addictive and destructive ones, showing concern for Johnny's well-being over the matter. On the other hand, Johnny is perplexed about Chavez's knowledge about romance and relationships, mainly because he's asexual, though it doesn't really put any complications on their relationship as friends.
  • Johnny also became well-acquainted with Netzach who went through a similar self-destructive lifestyle, although this came around due to Netzach's addiction to alcohol as well as taking doses of Enkelphalin to cope with the death of fellow employees in the Lobotomy Corporation. Once it got so bad that he attempted suicide via overdosing, though he was stopped and became a Librarian, alongside some introspection and commitment to making things better in the future, something which Johnny could relate to. Given that Netzach has more experience, Johnny was recommended to see if he can learn a thing or two from him, particularly if he can learn a life skill that he can use in the future and/or set up a decent goal in life, which Netzach is open to accept.
• The unique context surrounding Johnny and St. Jimmy, while certainly bizarre and creepy, isn't the only one in the Pantheon. Said case was also present with Elliot Anderson, a hacker vigilante who also rebelled against society, though, unlike Johnny, had a legitimate goal about it, mainly dismantling the world's richest people, who he felt were responsible for dumbing down and damaging the world's populace, whilst also leading a collective known as fsociety that was composed of other hackers who shared Elliot's goals. In addition to an addiction to drugs, specifically morphine in Elliot's case he also had a split personality, Mr. Robot, who would constantly convince Elliot to be more violent and aggressive in their methods, though, unlike Johnny, Mr. Robot originated from past trauma via Elliot's abusive childhood, and he was actually one of three split personalities he had. That said, unlike Johnny and St. Jimmy, Elliot would come to terms with his split personalities and eventually accomplish their goal of stopping the Dark Army from achieving their goal of supposed world control. Johnny was rather fascinated with Elliot's tale, though he realized that Elliot wouldn't really approve of his stint as a rebel. Johnny personally thinks that Elliot would have been the ideal rebel to strive to become, but those childish times have long since gone. That said, it doesn't stop Johnny from respecting Elliot for being a rebel hero, and he might even consider trying to be friends with him in the future.
• He is rather shy and reclusive about thinking too much about his rebellious phase and while he does have some good memories, the more negative times, especially regarding Whatsername persist more so. He was, however, interested in learning about a rebel vigilante known as Anarky, who wanted to advocate and fight for, well, anarchy because he saw democracy as detrimental. Like Elliot, Anarky was a rebel that Johnny would have had some good opinions on, though his constant run-ins with superheroes and his more unscrupulous methods were rather tough to get by. That said, Johnny does have some understanding of when it can go too far, which surfaced when he came to learn about Shogo Makishima, an anarchist who rebelled against future Japan for their overblown reliance on the SIBYL System, though his methods were more centered on getting people to kill each other and embrace their innate chaotic nature and sociopathy as much as they could. Since learning about Anarky and Shogo, Johnny has become a lot more contemplative about chaos and being a rebel, thinking that his phase really was too immature back then.
