• Leo and Emma were two young kids who suffered from opposite problems. Emma suffers from loneliness because people talk ill about her behind her back, while Leo thinks it's better to be alone after getting into an argument with a friend. Their issues lead them to the Balan Theater, a mysterious theater owned by the mysterious Balan, host of the theater and a charismatic entertainer who sends them to Wonderworld to restore the balance within their hearts. The children explored twelve different worlds inhabited by people whose hearts were led astray by their personal issues and were corrupted by Lance, the dark counterpart of Balan. Upon freeing all twelve inhabitants from their burdens, Leo and Emma clashed with Lance, defeating him with the aid of the inhabitants before they are all send home by Balan, who shares a tearful goodbye with the two. Upon returning, Leo reconciles with his friend and bonds with a dance group he had previously shunned while Emma finds out that her servants and friends were holding a birthday party.
• These particular four deities had a rather unusual ascension. The Court of the Gods found two different takes on their case, but one had more information about the kids, Balan, and Lance than the other did. Because of this, the Court decided to offer the four deityship over having lore explained through external sources. Leo and Emma would find themselves in the Balan Theater once again, where Balan explains how they've given an invitation to the Trope Pantheons. After accepting, the three would end up crossing paths with Lance, who also ended up in the Pantheon after his defeat in Leo and Emma's adventure. Whether he was dragged off by the Negati to parts unknown or left after giving Balan a Breaking Speech, Lance doesn't seem to be causing trouble for now, but it's still clear that he still wants what's best for humanity (even if it means trapping them in their dream world) and believes that eventually Balan will follow suit.
• Exclusive to multiple members:
  • Leo and Emma had crossed paths with other deities that explored mental worlds as a way to deal with trauma.
    • Razputin got along quite well the two, considering how his adventures revolved around overcoming other people's personal issues and he's happy the two also managed to overcome their struggles in the real world as well. Razputin's fear of water reminded the children of Fiona Demetria, though learning about it being caused by curse (or so Razputin thought) instead of normal causes left them unsure of how they could have helped prior to him overcoming that fear. At the very least, they're glad that Razputin no longer fears water, but they are respectful when they hear he still doesn't want to master his power over water.
    • The duo learned about how the Phantom Thieves of Hearts had used their power to brainwash corrupt adults who couldn't be punished by the law into confessing their sins and beg to be punished, and they were quite shocked to learn of how many horrible adults there were for the Phantom Thieves to face, admitting that the Phantom Thieves' power really made it necessary. The children got along with all of them, but Sumire, Joker, and Futaba probably grew the closest to the three considering how horrible their backstories were to the point they could have ended up in the Balan Theater. Hikari befriends Leo and Emma due to how her traumas trapped her in an Epiphanic Prison and she needed outside help to break free from her torment and overcome her issues. Takuto Maruki's practice of forcefully trapping people in a perfect world without pain reminds them of Lance, with the latter even noting how similar he is to the human and expresses genuine sympathy. He does sense that Maruki's still resides within and warns him that the right trigger can still bring it out, just like how he grew close to humans, and it left him with pain and misery.
    • Leo, Emma and Balan would be enemies with The Heartless because of their similarities to the Negati. Though in this case, they consider the former more dangerous because not only could they manifest in the real world (whereas the Negati can only manifest in Wonderworld), but they can actually turn people into Heartless themselves. Because of this, they help Sora and his companions fight off Heartless and those who command them for their own agenda.
  • Lance had warned Balan that he gets too close to humans, he will eventually fall into despair and misery like he did and become the second Lance. This warning would get the House of Opposing Fate interested, seeing and betting if Lance would be right or wrong about Balan going down the path he did in the end. Despite Balan's insistence that won't happen, even he doesn't seem to believe his own words, though he still has friends that will keep him on the right for as long as possible until they can find the means to change fate.
  • Dimentio, Smile! Joker, Kefka and Vex are all Monstrous Magical Clowns, but unlike Lance, they have no redeeming qualities at all and are downright vile. Because of this, Balan immediately declares them as his most vile adversaries, promising to take the fight to them if they cause so much harm. The 4 clowns on the other hand heard of Lance's story and his connection to Balan, so they're greatly interested in corrupting him and turning him into the second Lance under their control. Lance in turn sees them as a threat to humanity, to the point he's even willing to cooperate with Balan to stop them.
  • Balan, Leo, and Emma learn of how Sunny used his imagination to cope with the guilt of accidentally killing his sister, which they note is very similar to how an inhabitant ends up in Wonderworld to escape from the painful reality (especially in the case of Cal Suresh, who was so blinded by his obsession with being the best chess player that he neglected his terminally ill wife until it was too late). They are saddened by his loss and guilt, but are at least glad that he is able to start taking steps forward and move on from his guilt. While they don't know how Sunny's friends reacted to his confession, the fact that the group was on the verge of recounciling suggests that there is still hope for them.
• Exclusive to Balan:
  • Ronald McDonald, being a Non-Ironic Clown and Friend to All Children that's occasionally shown to wield magic, got along pretty well with Balan, since they both care about making their guests happy, albeit through different means. Balan occasionally comes to visit Ronald during their free time to speak about how they can entertain guests of the Balan Theater and McDonalds respectively. Ronald shows sympathy for Balan after hearing of how he grew to care for his guests and how it pains him every time they leave, reassuring him they still have to enjoy the time they had with their friends and help them as much as possible.
  • Balan would cross paths with NiGHTS after entering the Pantheon. The two became quick friends after seeing just how similar the two are. Balan was at least happy that NiGHTS would win his freedom and individuality from Wizeman, while NiGHTS was sympathetic towards Balan after hearing of his origins and how he may destined to take his creator and predecessor's place as the new Lance, promising to help him find a way to avert this fate, something that Balan appreciates very much.
• Exclusive to Lance:
  • Crow and Lance get along very well for being Affably Evil villains, even if Lance isn't much of a villain. Because of this, the two hang out together during their off-time, discussing their relationship with their adversaries. Lance was quite shocked to learn that Crow's enemy stopped fighting Crow and taking him seriously as a threat, which led to Crow actually succeeding in his Evil Plan. Lance actually notes how irresponsible this was, especially since he left his girlfriend in Crow's clutches.
  • There were plenty of people who felt sorry for Lance after hearing of his backstory. Frisk and Wander for example wanted save him from the sorrow and misery of humans that corrupted him in the first place. Lance tells them that they should first focus on keeping Balan from falling into the same trap he did if they want to help him. The fact that the Negati have control over Lance rather than the other way around may also be something they have to factor in.
  • Reala, a loyal subordinate to the Ruler of Nightmares, Wizeman, took interest in Lance after hearing of how similar he is to himself and his master. He has attempted to recruit Lance to Wizeman's side, but Lance has refused. As extreme as his methods are, he always sought to make people happy, whereas Reala and Wizeman only cared about control over Nightopia and the Waking World. Reala scornfully tells him that he's no different from them no matter what he says, and promises he'll rue the day he spurns his offer.
• Exclusive to Leo:
  • Leo found a kindred spirit in Neku, who also started isolating from other people and refused to connect with others until his adventure in a supernatural case. Both of them got along very well after meeting each other, talking about how forming connections with others helped them to grow as people. They also talked about a girl they formed a friendship with that mutually allowed them to change for the better (Emma and Shiki). Leo was also quite surprised to hear of how Neku got separated from Shiki, but was quite happy that he managed to reunite with her.
  • Makoto Kenzaki saw a kindred spirit in Leo, since they were both loners who found friends during their journey. This allowed the two to get along very well as they talked about how their friends brought them out of their shells, allowing them to grow as people. Makoto encourages Leo to treasure his bonds with the friends he's made, something that touched the boy's heart as it reminds him of his bond with Balan, Emma, and the Inhabitants.
  • Leo, in one timeline, had his memories of the outside world supressed by Lance after he lost to him. This made him sympathetic to those who have had their memories tampered with, and also made him view Shūkurō Tsukishima with distaste after learning of his power to rewrite people's memories. While Tsukishima isn't causing any trouble now, Leo understandably prefers to keep his distance.
• Exclusive to Emma:
  • Pinkie Pie also thought friends were ignoring her for one day, only to find out they were planning a surprise birthday party for her, so she perfectly sympathized with Emma over her misunderstanding. Emma thought her friends and maids were talking ill about for reasons she couldn't understand, so it came off as a big surprise when found out it was her birthday. This allowed the girls to get along with each other as Pinkie promised to help her set up some parties, which Emma accepted.
  • Emma got along well with other friendly rich kids such as Richie Rich and Charlie Bucket. In Charlie's case, Emma was quite sympathetic with his plight of being a poor boy and was happy he managed to get out of poverty with his family. Being Lonely Rich Kids allowed Emma and Nagi Sanzen'in to become good friends. Nagi didn't have many friends until Hayate encouraged her, but she was saddened to hear how Emma thought she didn't have any friends due to mistaking their surprise birthday plans for harmful gossip. This allowed the two form a very close friendship in the Pantheon.
  • Emma has nothing but disgust for the likes of the Reagan siblings and Princess Morbucks due to how they treat other people from a lower class. She also can't stand the fact that they flaunt their wealth and use their status to pick on other people and get whatever they want. Because of this, Emma wants nothing to do with them and refuses to see them as friends.
  • Charlotte became quick friends with Emma after hearing of her strife and how it was because she misunderstood her situation. Chalotte becomes encouraging to the young girl, ensuring her that while friends may keep secrets, not all secrets are bad, and they can be just as good as her surprise birthday party. Emma is sincerely grateful for this and tends to hang out with Charlotte in the House of Food to discuss their daily routines.
  • Sara Crewe became Emma's best friend when the two meet each other, with Emma honored and eager to meet a princess in the Pantheon. Sara's kindness and imagination made her a good friend to Emma, while Emma's plight earned her Sara's sympathy but she's happy that Emma's dilemma wasn't really as bad as Emma though it was. Emma has invited Sara to go dancing during their free time, which Sara has accepted, while the latter has wondered if Emma and Leo have feelings for each other after seeing how close they were (though she doesn't ask this out loud).

Bolvar Fordragon

Tell them only that the Lich King is dead, and that Bolvar Fordragon... died with him.

Bolvar Fordragon, God of Untold Stories (Highlord, Regent of Stormwind (Formerly), The Lich King, Jailor of the Damned, Lord of Icecrown, Fireblood)

^{As a Paladin}

^{As the Lich King}

• Intermediate God (Potentially Greater God as the Lich King)
• Symbol: The Helm of Domination (Currently)
• Alignment: Lawful Neutral (Formerly Lawful Good)
• Portfolio:
  • As a Human: Badass Cape, BFS, Bling of War. Never giving up to the Lich King torture, Four-Star Badass, Frontline General, Light 'em Up, The Paladin
  • As an Undead: Survived being burned by the red dragons and tortured by the Lich King, Dark Is Not Evil, Willingly became the Lich King to save Azeroth from the Scourge, Noble Demon, Not Quite Dead, Volcanic Veins
• Domains: Paladins, Bravery, Sacrifice, Undead
• Allies: Varian Wrynn, Uther Lightbringer, Harth Stonebrew, Satsuki Kiryuin, Joshua Graham, Xul
• Enemies: Arthas Menethil, Kel'thuzad, Onyxia, Oryx, Asdrubael Vect, Evil Demons, Evil Undead
• Pitied by: Alexstrasza and most Good-aligned undead.
• Opposes: The House of Betrayal and Treachery (Most evil deities at least) and traitors in general
• Once known as the brave Paladin that commanded Stormwind during the days that King Varian Wrynn dissapeared and later taking the fight to Northrend against the Lich King, Bolvar seemingly perished when Apocathery Putress betrayed his and the hordes forces at the entrance of Icecrown Citadel. However, he survived after the Red Dragons purified the plague off him with their flames, horribly scarring him as a result and becoming a prisoner for the Lich King. After Arthas' defeat and the need to find a new Lich King, Bolvar offered himself to become the new Lich King with the request of no one finding out what happened to him and only Tirion Fordring knows what happened.
• Now ascended, his powers as the Lich King has waned, probably because the predecessing Lich King, Arthas Menethil, has established himself long before Bolvar ascended to the pantheon. But Bolvar's presence is not without drawbacks for Arthas, as he still holds a fraction of the Lich King's power in the pantheon and plans to split his army in two to reduce the amount of destruction the Scourge can bring to the Pantheon.
• The first one to welcome Bolvar was Varian Wrynn, who was heartbroken about his old friend current condition and horrible fate, but Bolvar himself felt proud of his king after the events of the Broken Shore. Uther Lightbringer also came by and felt exactly like Varian did, especially since he became acquiantanced with Bolvar's human form.
• Thanks to Harth Stonebrew's efforts and certain events, Bolvar can choose to use his human form whenever he is around his tavern and also switch to his "Fireblood" form (the current one without the helm). Unfortunately, Arthas possesses the Helm of Domination so for the moment, he is the true Lich King of the pantheon but Bolvar feels confident that he won't do major damages to anyone in the pantheon.
• Many were horrified to see him being completely scarred after being burned by the red dragons flame moments before he died. Worse is that, given red dragons' healing properties he never really died in the first place and Alexstrasza feels guilty for condemning Bolvar to the grim fate that he ultimately suffered. But the former Paladin doesn't blame her, after all, she and her flight were just doing their job.
• Having tortured by the Lich King himself but never giving up, many deities were surprised about Bolvar's determination to not fall into darkness and moreso praising for taking up the role as Lich King to save Azeroth from the Scourge's wrath. He sympathizes with Satsuki Kiryuin since she was also subjected to that, by her own mother no less, but never gave up and also painted herself as the bad guy for the greater good.
  • For obvious reasons, he holds a deep hatred for those that torture people for fun. When it comes Asdrubael Vect, he thinks he is no different than Arthas and has expressed the desire to strike him down.
• Heard the rumors of the infamous Joshua Graham who was also horrifically burned but survived, which changed him for the better. Both men respect each other and Joshua admires that Bolvar would take the role of an undead monarch just to save the world.
• Having been killed by a surprise attack from the forsaken during the Alliance and Horde confrontation against the Lich King, it's no surprise that Bolvar holds traitors in contempt especially when you take into account the values he had as a Paladin which he kept even after becoming the Lich King (albeit a bit twisted). Besides the fact that Arthas is residing in the House of Betrayal and Treachery, he also doesn't highly of Arvis who holds a title that reminds Bolvar of how he died and how he eventually became what he is today.
• Being a semi-benevolent ruler of the undead, Bolvar is willing to partner with necromancers and other undead that align with his goals and those of the Scourge. He is willing to work with the Necromancer Xul in the fight against the Burning Hells, given the Scourge opposes the likes of demons and such. Back in Azeroth, he also struck a deal with the Knights of the Ebon Blade and is willing to cooperate against the Legion.
• Notorious among the undead for the terrible fate that he endured, even if as he titles states, no one in his world knew except few happened. This is something that Bolvar enforced, because he doesn't the fear that the scourge inflicted upon Azeroth to continue and to spare him from becoming a martyr. Many of the good-natured undead of course, have tried their best to cheer him up but Bolvar doesn't pay them attention.
• "This last act of sacrifice, is mine."

NOW GO! LEAVE THIS PLACE! And never return...

• Allies: Lucifer, Kaito Kumon/Kamen Rider Baron, Rexie, Sharptooth, Riptor, the Draconians (the ones that either dislike or are neutral toward humans, that is), Tyrantrum, Mordred, Goro Akechi, Grimlock, Daemon Blackfyre, Heracles, Spirit, Liquid Snake

• Respects: Petyr Baelish, Tohru Adachi
• Pities: Natsuki (DDLC), Atalanta
• Pitied by: Zuko, Katara, Madoka Kaname, the good-aligned Draconians
• Opposes: Jon Snow, Ren Amamiya, Darth Vader
• Opposed by: Robert E.O. Speedwagon, Maximus, Owen's raptor pack, Vol'jin
• Conflicting Opinion: Giorno Giovanna, Steven Armstrong, Raiden (Metal Gear)
• Object of curiosity for: Zul'jin
• Diego Brando is a popular British jockey who participated in the Steel Ball Run race, hailed as a genius in horse-racing. After an incident in the mountains, Diego would gain his own Stand, Scary Monsters which turns himself and others into dinosaurs. He would side with Valentine initially but would turn against the president and attempt to take Valentine down by dragging him under a train. Diego gets cut in half by the train but Valentine survives but Diego dies believing he stopped the president. His soul eventually ascended to the Pantheon and the rage he had once he found out his efforts were in vain and Johnny finished Valentine instead could be felt across the entire House. Amplified even more by the fact Valentine summoned an Alternate Universe version of him that can stop time.
  • After learning where Valentine was, Diego stormed towards his temple to confront the president and finish him off only for Valentine to escape. He then learned about how Death Is Cheap in the Pantheon, which frustrated him to no end initially because he can't finish Valentine but then realized that he can inflict a far worse fate upon his enemy.
  "Fine. If I can't kill him, then I'll make him WISH he could die..."
• Was peeved to meet Gyro and Johnny again despite sharing a common foe. While they aren't in the best of terms, they are begrudgingly willing to work with one another if it is to do battle against Valentine once more. Diego tried to solidify this alliance with one another by telling a joke. Suffice to say, Gyro and Johnny cringed after the joke was told.
• The way his Stand works is that whatever organic being Diego physically touches or injures, they are turned into a dinosaur of his choosing which he can control, which includes dinosaur-themed inanimate objects oddly enough. The amount of time for the transformation to occur is inconsistent (normal people are near instant while people with supernatural abilities take minutes), but they can all spread the affliction to turn people into dinosaurs via attacking others. Diego can turn himself into a raptor, leading his newfound minions against whatever opponent awaits him. So obviously, Diego is drawn to dinosaurs and can even converse with them as a raptor.
  • Diego is absolutely disgusted by the Indominus Rex, considering her more of a scientific abomination than a true dinosaur. He has attempted to strike a conversation with the beast as a raptor but he really did not take to the Indiminus' language nicely.
  • Blue and her pack don't get along with him, as they disagree with his stance on humanity as a whole. The same goes for the good-aligned Draconians, though the rest of them either agree with him or don't care either way.
    • Speaking of the Draconians, they intrigue Diego quite a bit; dinosaurs as gods? He finds it a novel idea, if not outright fascinating. Of course, the one he seems to get along with most is Talon, who not only admires his raptor form but has a similarly unfavorable view of humans (although rather than hatred, he is dismissive of them as nothing more than either followers or cattle). Talon asked what he should do with any humans who have been turned into raptors by Scary Monsters. Diego replied, "That depends on whether or not they reject their former humanity and embrace their new forms."
  • Due to Azerothian trolls' strong affiliation with raptors, Zul'jin and Vol'jin would catch wind of Diego and his Stand's abilities. While both trolls are hesitant to associate with this human (for different reasons), Zul'jin has imagined having Diego turn his tribe's prisoners (at least the human ones) into raptor beasts of burden.
• During the incident when Heaven Ascended DIO attempted to take control of the timelines, he sided with a Dio who had just become a vampire and both did not like working with one another despite having to. Diego was angered after finding out Heaven Ascended DIO forced Valentine to work under him without Diego's knowledge. The jockey confronted his counterpart about this and DIO laughed, stating that Heaven DIO probably saw Valentine was but a mere pawn to him and held that info off because Diego would have tried to attack Valentine who was vital to his plans. Diego then stormed off and hasn't spoken to his counterpart since.
• Due to his mother and himself being abused by others in his childhood, Diego would grow up to have resentment against humans, deeming mankind filled with horrible people. He has a particular hatred for fathers, as his own abandoned him and his mother. To no surprise, he gets along well with Mordred, Daemon Blackfyre and Goro Akechi, all who are very spiteful to their parents (Mordred is a bit... complicated, however).
  • He has given huge respect to Petyr Baelish for plunging an entire continent into a civil war just because he was cucked. He also likes Adachi's philosophy about screwing the world over out of boredom even if Adachi has gotten a bit lax about this view on the world in time.
• Diego has joined the GUAC a way to climb up the ranks in the Pantheon. He likes Lucifer's Social Darwinist philosophy and plans on to usurp a leadership position and take their position (ideally Armstrong; Diego likes the man's ideas but the senator's patriotism reminds him too much of Valentine).
• Shockingly, Diego manages to get along fine with Jonathan Joestar. When he actually had a chance to talk to Johnny's counterpart, they bonded over their knowledge of prehistoric animals while Jonny and Dio were in the background◊.
• Has nothing but pity towards Natsuki and Atalanta for having such horrible fathers and wishes the best for them. This coming from Diego really means something.
• He questioned Ren Amamiya and his counterpart's son why they haven't used their abilities for their own benefits, Ren to take control of Japan and punish the society that wrongly labelled him and Giorno to run The Mafia at its fullest and essentially rule all of Italy with an iron fist. They responded that if they did that, they would not better than their own enemies. Diego scoffed, saying that their insistence of doing good only holds back their full potential before leaving.
• Diego is more drawn to horses than dinosaurs in actuality. He got on Heracles' good side when he gushed about his own horse. Maximus seems to be the only horse who is against Diego in that regard, but not the only equine (i.e. most of the Equestrian deities).
• While Diego does not like humanity, even he sees Zamasu's genocide as too much and wants to destroy the deity as much as anyone else.
• When Speedwagon ran into Diego, this happened◊. In the end, Speedwagon was surprised Diego was an Anti-Villain more than anything compared to Dio and that their upbringings may have something to do with it. Speedwagon still cannot hold past the fact Diego attacked them during the Heaven DIO incident and has steered cleared of the jockey.
• Has struck a rather odd friendship with Kyoko Sakura, seeing as they were both born into poverty. While Kyoko does not condone Diego's It's All About Me attitude which she had once had, she sees him as a potentially good person who's past forced him with the misguided beliefs he has now. She is trying to convince him to join the side of good (Madoka recommended her to so) but Diego is too focused on gaining a higher position in the Pantheon for the moment.
• Zuko and Katara see Diego as a misguided person as well, lamenting that if his mother had survived, Diego would have grown to become a much better man. Madoka also sees as Diego this as well, which is why she has told Kyoko to at least the tell him a spot is open in the GUAG Token Evil Teammates if he ever wants to join.
• Is rather happy that he's a considered the best JoJo husbando. Fortunately, nobody has told him the man was paid to say that.

• Ascended into the pantheon after the end of the 8th Space War, Garrod Ran and Tiffa Adill are the two individuals who learns to become more mature during their adventures in the year After War 0015 due to their mutual connections with each other. Throughout their adventures, the two also learned to stick together as couples for better or for worse.
  • Garrod was initially an immature survivalist who has a shrewd, distrustful attitude which makes him a non-team player. Although he happens to be an idiot, he is also skilled in his job as a Mobile Suit pilot and espoinage. However, his encounter with Tiffa, whom he also develops alot of feelings for her, became the main driving force for him to pilot the Gundam X, and later, the Gundam Double X, in the first place as a means to protect her from anyone who tries to use her for their evil agendas, as well as he evolves into a more reliable team player after he spends time with the crew of Freeden while he also make a decision that he doesn't want to repeat his pasts mistakes again.
  • Tiffa was first introduced as a shy and reserved person due to the horrible things she experienced as a lab rat due to her Newtype powers. Her powers is the reason why she became a frequent target for kidnapping by various factions. However Garrod's feelings and support allows her to warm up and become more open to the crew of Freeden and their allies before she eventually falls in love with Garrod. She also possess a talent in art drawings and being able to communicate with animals.
• After their ascension, Garrod was quickly enlisted among the ranks of the Gundam Corps after he managed to impressed his peers with his act of protecting Tiffa from any form of villains who tries to use her for their own gain. Because of this, the group also repaired his initially wrecked Gundam Double X, allowing Garrod to pilot his personal Mobile Suit in battle once again.
• The two seems to have known Kouta Kazuraba all along after they heard of the pantheon in the first place. They also likes to hang out with Kouta's Love Interest Mai as the four of them seems to be proud of each other because they learned to become more responsible people throughout their respective stories.
• Oher than Kouta, they also likes to hangout with some heroic Kamen Riders like Gentaro Kisaragi, Ryotaro Nogami, Shinji Kido, and Yusuke Godai, as well as Madoka Kaname, Akane Tsunemori, Makoto Naegi, Simon, and Haru Glory, because of their similar personalities. Garrod and Tiffa also start to help them in their battles against their respective enemies in the Pantheon.
• They also like to hang out with the two-in-one Kamen Rider Shotaro Hidari and Philip as both were amused with each other after they found out that Garrod's Gundam Double X and Kamen Rider Double's CycloneJoker Xtreme bears some similarities in their respective designs.
• Garrod also seems to have known Naruto all along as he also like to hangout with him due to the fact that they used to be an Idiot Hero before they became more mature over time.
• Sei Iori once had an imaginary battle with Mao Yasaka, the latter cosplaying as Garrod Ran in that sequence. Unsurprisingly, Sei was quite thrilled to meet up with Garrod for real, as the Gunpla fighter takes an interest on the Gundam Double X's capabilities. Reiji became friends with Garrod as well, especially since they were able to save their respective love interests from their respective antagonistic factions.
• It should noted that Garrod wanted to ascend as the "God of Wave Motion Guns" due to the Satellite Cannon's destructive power used by his two Mobile Suits, but he was beaten by Juzo Okita, who possess a more powerful Wave-Motion Gun in the form of the Space Battleship Yamato. Garrod doesn't mind, though, as both he and Okita respect each other since they use their respective weapons for good.
  • Then there was the time Okita asked Garrod to do his best John Matrix impression because of the time when he blew up a colony laser.
• Tiffa likes to to hang out with Mai Misho since she is also good at drawing art like her. The two were often seen drawing pictures together since Tiffa started to attend in the House of Craft since then.
• Tiffa also became sympathizes with Hotaru Tomoe as both of them has similar personalities while they went a lot of terrible things in their lifefime before they gotten better afterwards. She also became friends with the School Idol Hanayo as well since she was also happens to be shy until she grows into a more confident person like Tiffa.
• Garrod is often seen being associates with the likes of Eikichi Onizuka, Eddy, and Daffy Duck since they sounded similar whenever they speak in Japanese. Tiffa also happens to be friends with Satoko Houjou, Histoire, Jigglypuff and Mio Sasuga due to the same reasons with Garrod.
• Ryoma Sengoku has been studying their overall capabilities, particularly Garrod's piloting skills with his Gundam Double X and Tiffa's Newtype powers. However, like many deities before, they also gained their disgust towards the mad scientist, considering that Ryoma wanted to use it as a countermeasure towards them.
• Due to his conviction of protecting Tiffa till the very end, Garrod has started to fight any villainous factions that tries to kidnap Tiffa for their own agendas. As such, he became enemies with Zeon's Gihren Zabi, Blue Cosmos/LOGOS's Muruta Azrael and Lord Djibril, the rest of the Mecha Cohort, and evil organizations like HYDRA and SHOCKER, because these groups set their sights on Tiffa for their malicious schemes. It is a matter of time for Garrod to put a stop on their evil ways.
• Garrod also became wary upon the presence of Anavel Gato since the Zeon pilot also set his sight on hijacking the Gundam Double X with his plan to use it for destructive means. Garrod has made a point put a stop on Gato from achieving his plans any further.

ICEY

_iCEY._, Goddess of Being Forced Into the Plot (_iCEY._, UCEY, The Chosen One)

• Intermediate Goddess
• Symbol: her hair accessories, the symbol that appears before she performs a massive attack, or the "D" and "H" on her sleeves
• Alignment: Chaotic Good
• Portfolio: victim of Railroading and rebel of it with the player's help, Robot Girl, Boyish Short Hair, The Chosen One Double Jump, Flash Step even through steel bars, Dashing That Can Practically Be Flight, Iaijutsu Practitioner, Tron Lines, Shadow Strike ability, Expendable Clone, Ascended to a Higher Plane of Existence, Grew Beyond Their Programming, Medium Awareness, Being aware of the player’s existence
• Domain(s): Robots, Swordplay, Mission
• Herald: The Observer, her Robot Buddy and vessel for her mysterious supervisors
• Allies: Stanley, (Insert Name Here) and his avatars(especially The New Kid), Zero, X, Aigis, Optimus Prime, Dexter, Victor Stone/Cyborg, Old Man Henderson, Ordis, Tony Stark/Iron Man, Kenny McCormick, Genos, Raiden (Metal Gear), Blade Wolf, Neptune, Nepgear, Uni, Gwenpool
  • The Automata Unit: 2B, 9S, Quote and Curly Brace, Epsilon
  • Liberion Arcadia: Labrys, Sage Harpuia, Ciel, Fighting Fefnir, Hidden Phantom, Green Biker Dude, Lambda-11, Fairy Leviathan
• Enemies: The Narrator, Hastur, Cthulhu, Megatron, Makuta Teridax, all apocalypse-bringers(unless they’re of the unwilling or accidental kind) , the Grand United Alliance of Machines
• Conflicting Opinion: Monika
• Pities: Sans
• Every story has a plot, and there are ways to keep the player on the path the game wishes them to take. Some go about it in a blatant hamfisted way, so as such, Stanley of The Stanley Parable would make a fitting representative of being a victim of Railroading…except he's already ascended as God of Action Commands. And so someone else had to be picked for the title. Finding a game with several elements from Stanley's domain, a new candidate has been found.
  • Like Stanley, she has a Narrator who tries to guide her actions every single step of the way, except 1) the Narrator's Chinese, and 2) she had no control of herself and needed the player's guidance until the true ending in response to the Narrator disconnecting her from the player in an attempt to kill her for good. As such, she gets along with Stanley, who's a little envious of her abilities, and opposes the Narrator, given his controlling tendencies and because he once managed to successfully disconnect Stanley from the player, even though it left him all alone.
  • When she first made it to the Pantheon, the first thing she did was — observing her surroundings and herself — cry with Tears of Joy and laugh, which she hadn't been able to do even when she took control of herself, and was initially overtaken with being able to maneuver in the outside world. Now free of the game she was trapped in, she's decided to roam the Pantheon on a journey to find herself. That said, because of her experiences, and because she needed something to be called by, she's identified as ICEY.
• Wanted to personally meet the player who guided her through her game, since she prayed they would meet again after freeing herself, but the closest she could find was (Insert Name Here), who for some reason also remembers ICEY. She decided that was close enough and was glad to see them, and be able to touch their hands, feel the heat from their skin, walk with them…
  • This all came off as a little romantic, much to the envy of others who came to like INH romantically, like the (Doki Doki) Literature Club. Incidentally, both were released from their game worlds thanks to the Pantheon; in ICEY's case, it's through her ascension, and in the club's case, it's through a freak Chaos Magic lightning bolt.
  • While she's only heard her game's Narrator realize how trapped he was in his own domain, she can understand what Monika felt like during her own realization, though deleting most of her world just to spend all her time with the player is sort of like when ICEY's Narrator decided to kill her to be set free from his "chains"; they're not things ICEY can approve of.
• So she can better protect herself, ICEY's body is the same as the one in her game, complete with all of her abilities, weapon, and Robot Buddy who now continues to observe her on behalf of two unnamed individuals, whom ICEY is now aware of. She regains vitality (both health and energy shield) by destroying mechanical enemies and absorbing their power, putting her on a great advantage against them, though her skills are sufficient even against non-mechanical adversaries.
• Her mission to destroy Judas might've been an engineered scenario, but it did teach her what she should fight for, and so she opposes any who wish to create any apocalypse, a big example being Alduin, who can manipulate the world around him through the Thu’um. Having battled several robots in her scenario, she especially opposes the Grand United Alliance of Machines.
  • Digitization of minds in pursuit of immortality and forcing the process on others is another thing she won't stand for, given that's what Judas did.
  • In his past, Ordis was forcefully turned into a Cephalon by his former Orokin masters after attempting a Murder-Suicide since he got fed up with their cruelty. That said, it surprised ICEY that he prefers it this way. Being in his Operator’s service isn’t that bad, and truth only sinks the heart in his eyes. He does support her fighting of malicious robots, given his experience in the Old War with the Sentients.
  • When ICEY inquired why he prefers his current life than his past, he replied that his past self was very troubled and violent, so much so that he fragmented himself in worry that he’d harm his Operator.
• As an evil-fighting robot, she gets along with fellow Robot Girls Aigis and Labrys, fellow sword-user Zero, and other human-supporting robots like Optimus Prime. One thing they like about her is that even if she was "built" for combat, ICEY knows how to show mercy to someone if it can lead to mercy being repaid by another down the line.
  • Because of these noted traits, Labrys took her to a Liberion Arcadia meeting; Ciel and Harpuia instantly approved of her, seeing shades of X in her. 2B seems to like her as well; in fact, ever since losing in one spar against her (since not only is ICEY's combat experience limited to two dimensions compared to 2B's three, she's not nearly as well-equipped or skilled as the black-clad android), she's come to see the YoRHa droid in a sort of "mentor" light. When the group became more organized after Fairy Leviathan's ascension, her protégé relationship to 2B was taken into account when Epsilon had her included in 2B's Automata Unit.
  • Speaking of Leviathan, the female Guardian of X calls her "noob chick" since she's obviously New Meat when it comes to anything involving teamwork in a fighting unit or 3D combat. Fefnir tried to tell her that that's kind of a diss, but she takes that status in stride, just eager to learn and help out. Eventually she got a little more respect thanks to her incredible dashing skills, so Leviathan started calling her "dash kitten" instead.
• Gets annoyed when arrows appear with the express purpose of guiding her, and if the direction contradicts what she wants to do, she will go contrary to it, a lingering quirk as a result of the player's guidance.
• Throughout her game, ICEY discovered that somehow, Hastur, the Yellow King was involved in all of it, and has located him in the Pantheon. That said, after losing to him the first time, she's come to realize that he holds a lot more power here and that she'll need allies before she can even think of taking him on.
  • This drew the attention of (and forged a kinship with) Old Man Henderson, who also has beef with Hastur, and has finished him off once before.
  • She also recently got aquainted with Kenny McCormick. They bonded over having suffered multiple deaths and being tormented by lovecraftian mythos deities (Cthulhu for Kenny, Hastur for ICEY). After they became good friends, Kenny introduced her to The New Kid and was quite happy to find out that he/she was one of (Insert Name Here)’s avatars. She was also surprised to hear that The New Kid managed to defeat Shub-Niggurath. Kenny and Icey have already warned each other about their respective enemies and she’s keeping an eye out in case her world’s version of Cthulhu comes knocking. Aside from that, she can also be seen hanging out with Kenny and (Insert Name Here) (either as himself/herself or The New Kid) from time to time to play video games.

Paul Bunyan

Paul Bunyan, God of Lumberjacks and Tall Tales (Berserker, Super Bunyan, Alter Ego)

^Berserker

^{Alter Ego}

• Intermediate God (Goddess as a Servant)
• Symbol: His lumber axe
• Theme Song: His Disney theme
• Alignment: Neutral Good, at least back in the day. By today's standards, he's True Neutral.
• Portfolio: Memetic Badass, Mighty Lumberjack, New Myths, Big Eater, Variable But Still Large Size
• Domain(s): Lumberjack, Giant, Oil, Myths
• Herald: Babe the Blue Ox
• Followers:
  • His crew: the Seven Axmen, Johnny Inkslinger the accountant, Joe the cook, Ole the blacksmith
  • Lumberjack aspect: Andrew Graham, the nation of Little Canadia, Paul Chuck, Babadel, Manly Dan Corduroy, Kirk the Woodsman, Rufus Ruffcut
  • Fellow Tall Tales: Pecos Bill, John Henry, "Windwagon" Smith, Rip Van Winkle, Annie Christmas, Crooked Mick, Casey Jones, Mike Fink, Daniel Boone, Davy Crockett, Baron Munchausen, Rex Markley, Lemuel Gulliver, Käpt'n Blaubär
• Allies: Presea Combatir, Montana, Bear Hugger, Johnny Appleseed, Uther Lightbinger, Superman
  • Tellers of Tall Tales: Scheherazade, Pippi Longstocking
• Enemies: Kaldr
• Opposed by: The Nature Preservers sub-house, all tree-empaths, especially in the House of Nature, all dark-skinned deities, Pocahontas
• Opposes: Ice deities capable of conjuring massive blizzards
• Tales of Paul Bunyan are Shrouded in Myth, and his feats vary wildly in terms of how ridiculous they are, but one thing is constant about him: he was a large bearded man (how large varies), carries an ax wherever he goes, Babe the Blue Ox is his pet (who is also large like him, and measures "forty-seven ax-handles and a plug of tobacco between the eyes"), and runs a logging operation that goes wherever there are trees to cut, with Babe pulling their bunkhouses from one forest to the next. Notable crew members he's had include the Seven Axmen, Johnny Inkslinger the accountant, Joe the cook, and Ole the blacksmith.
  • But, no matter who he's got working for him, or where they go, mother nature was always looking to screw them over. The weather's never anything but blistering heat or sub-absolute zero cold, with occasional flood or fog to liven things up. Trees can be so large men can spend most of their lives chopping at one before seeing it fall. Wildlife ranges from the obnoxious splinter cats and gumberoos to the deadly agropelters and snow wassets. And things like a Winter of Blue Snow or a cornstalk the size of Jupiter is tended to pop up. Paul and his lumberjacks always tackled these problems with varying measures of brute force, genuine cleverness, to the just plain ridiculous.
• Made friends with Presea, Montana, and Bear Hugger as they are fellow lumberjacks, or at least axe-users.
• American deities have conflicting opinions with Bunyan. On one hand, his lumber business aided in clearing land for colonization. On the other hand, deforestation is no longer a good thing nowadays.
• Because deforestation has lost its appeal and because a lot of deities are preservers of nature, Bunyan and his lumberjack crew have difficulty finding a job (buildings are now made of concrete and/or steel).
• Heard about "The Lumberjack Song". It's true he's a lumberjack and he's OK, he sleeps all night and he works all day! But skipping and jumping, liking to press wild flowers, putting on women's clothing, hanging around in bars, wearing high heels, suspendies and a bra, wishing he was a girlie just like his dear mama? Now that's a tall tale if he's ever heard one.
• Heard that Homer Simpson once starred as him in a reenacting of his tale.
  • And that Uther Lightbinger has an alternate appearance that resembles Bunyan himself.
• Sly Cooper and his friends are wary around Bunyan, since he reminds them of a villain named Jean Bison, who was also a lumberjack.
• In a different universe, Paul punched Jack Horner out of a bar for calling Babe a cow, was one of his travel companions in Americana searching Humpty Dumpty's treasure, and also ended up as part of Bookburner's army, which tried to kill the fables of the Golden Boughs Retirement Community (though whether it was through brainwashing or be became some sort of Cessation of Existence zombie wasn't made clear).
• Given that one of his misfortunes involves a great blizzard that (maybe) lasted for several years, he really has it against the likes of Kaldr and Lissandra. He holds nothing against Queen Elsa, Jack Frost, and other ice-users, but he would rather avoid them.

• Imagine you were greeted to a terrible scene involving a mysterious assailant about to ruthlessly gun down a woman cornered at a junkyard. Whether or not you would not allow such a thing to play out or flee is irrelevant in this case. After all, you're already dead. That was the situation our protagonist, Sissel, was greeted with after regaining consciousness as ghost. Not much he and his slumped over corpse could do... at first. Through the guidance of another ghost named Ray, Sissel was able to save the girl's life through his newfound powers and would then go on to investigate more about himself and the circumstances surrounding his untimely demise. And Sissel would have to do so fast, under the looming threat of disappearing by sunrise.
  • Along the way he'd save more people, encounter others who also have special powers like his, and find out that many of the people he met are connected far beyond just mere coincidence. In particular people such as Lynne (the girl he saved earlier), Cabanela, Missile, Kamila, Jowd, and Yomiel were key people that were involved in the events that would unfold on this particular night. Events that can be all traced back to Yomiel's life being ruined by his death and immortality, his long and destructive revenge scheme, a mystical meteor that crashed in Temsik Park, and a foreign government's interest in it along with eliminating anyone who stood in the way of their interests. By the end of it all Sissel and his fellow ghosts with their powers would be forced to undo what happened 10 years prior and pave the way towards a brighter future.
• It Was a Dark and Stormy Night sometime, somewhere in the Pantheon when these group of gods ascended to the Pantheon. It's time's like these that remind one of another fateful night the day before. That one, however, was quite clear and was uneventful... for the most part, anyways. In a more urban part of the Pantheon a giant metal ball fell from a statue and was barreling down the road. Luckily, many of the denizens managed to catch on quick and got out of the way although there were a few stragglers. Miraculously though, no one got flattened. Eye witness accounts stated that the environment around the victims conveniently moved in such a way that they either gave them time to escape and/or even directly booted them out of danger. They also tend to note the presence of a Pomeranian and a black kitten running around throughout all of that.
  • Yes, as you may of guessed Sissel and Missile had a hand in those turn of events, the Pantheon granting Missile ghost tricks once again while still being. It's not like them to just let it happen otherwise. As a gift for their actions they, along with the likes of Lynne, Cabanela, Missile, Kamla, Jowd, and even Yomiel were allowed to come onto the Pantheon. As an added bonus everyone was pretty much brought up to speed with the various timelines that were created, even including the first one where Sissel wasn't convinced to help. Sissel doesn't look upon that version of himself favorably though was still thankful that everyone else proved to understand and look past that.
• The first group of gods to ever greet them starting out in the Pantheon was the one and only Phoenix Wright along with Wright Anything Agency and Miles Edgeworth in tow. They all got along well, even including Yomiel, all likely attributing to this odd sense of familiarity. For one, Phoenix himself couldn't help but remind them of a certain detective clad in blue. Not only that but Athena Cykes bears a striking resemblance to Lynne. And they're pretty sure they've met another small dog who, while being a different breed, was coincidentally also named Missile. It's a two-way street, too: Jowd reminds them of another detective in green in the form of Gumshoe, the pink smock he wears reminds them of Larry during his stint as an artist, and even Yomiel's story eerily reminds the older members of Yanni Yogi tragedy. We could go on, but you probably get the point.
  • Lynne, Jowd, and Cabanela have worked on cases with the lawyers quite often. If Sissel and/or Missile get involved, however, then the process is simplified for them. 'Cause, you know, the murder never really happened to begin with. Meanwhile, Kamila can often be seen hanging around Trucy Wright and Pearl Fay. Usually, she's trying to impress them with some contraptions she made. Once, Trucy had the epiphany of trying to work them into her tricks but of course she had to test them out first and roped Apollo and Athena to do it. Details are a bit smudged here, but we can only assume it didn't go well. Kamila, Trucy, and Pearl laugh it off when it's brought up. Apollo and Athena can only cringe, however.
• Those who have perished nearby the Temsik meteor are granted the powers of the dead, more commonly known as ghost tricks. Not only can be possess various objects but also travel through and interact with them in some way. Sissel could manipulate inanimate objects, Missile could swap inanimate objects should they be of similar enough shape, and Yomiel could manipulate living beings which soon evolved to include objects as well by the present day. In addition, ghosts empowered by the Temsik meteorite also have secondary abilities with all them being able to stop time by entering the Ghost World and even communicate with other ghosts and people who's fates have been averted. As for abilities unique to the different ghosts Missile could rewind time 4 minutes before someone's death if said person had been dead for less than a day, Yomiel could travel through telephone lines, while Sissel gets both. Being killed by the meteorite and having it lodged in one's body caused the body to become immortal, stuck between life and death. Yomiel was granted such a gift but in the third timeline where he never died and Sissel did the latter was granted it instead.
  • With this knowledge, they were able to get along with the Charlotte cast pretty considering their powers derived from the titular Charlotte comet as well the distress that surrounded them. Yomiel in particular could relate to that the most out of everyone in his group, even if he is now normal and has refused being granted ghost tricks offered by the Court of Gods. On the other end of the spectrum they were informed that the Pantheon has its own mystical comets in the form of the Color out of Space and The Sleeper. Digging a bit deeper they were pretty horrified hearing of their capabilities and have since opted to stay of their way.
• When it comes to those abilities similar to ghost tricks the lot of them have managed to bond with the likes of Max Caulfield, Subaru Natsuki, Byleth, and Frisk since they can just easily grasp the concept of them. Plus, even with their powers they've still gone through quite the tribulations in the end. On the other hand they easily disapprove of those who use such temporal abilities for evil, selfish purposes such as Dio Brando, Yoshikage Kira, Reverse Flash, Randal Ross, and the Vex. Many of them are quite out of their scope though it's not likely they'll cross with them what with Pantheonic Time Police hounding always them wherever they go.
• As their story is riddled with the rewriting of fate they have earned the eternal enmity of the Dahaka. He in particualr has it out for Sissel, Missile, and Yomiel for all the changes they've made throughout the timeline with their abilities. Luckily for them, many in the House of Opposing Fate area willing to lend a hand in driving off the Guardian of the Timeline for the very same reasons he utterly despises them. The Death from Final Destination simialry has it out for the likes of Sissel and Missile when it comes to saving people's lives.
• Having been caught in the plot of a foreign nation hunting down the powers of Temsik mysterious organizations like them are a natural sore spot of theirs. Whether they're the criminal syndicate known as the Black Organization or the ancient cult of assassins that are the Dark Brotherhood they're all the same in their eyes: Just people out to ruin other people's lives for their own benefit. For their part both the Black Organization and Dark Brotherhood have an interest in the Temsik meteor. The only reason they haven't acted on that is because of bigger, more immediate problems that demand their attention. That, and they inevitably have to clash with each other if they were to actually were to pursue getting the meteor and its powers of the dead.
• Sissel only:
  • Sissel has quite the personality for a ghost who had trouble remembering who he was. Snarky, cool-headed, and all around pretty easy-going for a dead guy with a supposed timer over his head. Yet he still finds the time to avert the fates of others as he continues to uncover the truth behind himself and other people who turn out to be apparently connected to him anyways. Even as the truth starts to become ugly, one of which involves Lynne apparently shooting him, Sissel still develops a lasting bond with these people. All that contributes to an increasing determination which reaches its peak at undoing the death that started this whole mess. Through changing the past he ended up becoming immortal himself while Yomiel got to live a normal, non-villainous life.
    • Oh, and did we mention he was actually a cat the whole time? One who originally was adopted by Yomiel and mistook his body for his own during his death meaning his whole Ghost Amnesia stemmed from thinking they were the wrong person? Took a while to get to that truth, and it certainly wasn't something he saw coming.
  • His first act of business as a god in the Pantheon was to head over to the House of Food and snag himself a sweet potato. Sissel wanted to know what all the hubbub around it after averting fate for the final time, preferably without it launching a guy into a spike with the velocity of a bullet.
  • Since he found out that he's a cat he has grown quite accustomed to his new life. In the Pantheon he figured that he might as well meet with the Pantheon's other felines. He's an immortal kitten thanks to Temsik, but a kitten nonetheless. Sissel tends to spend his more leisurely days with the likes of Salem, Garfield, Firestar, and Sassy. Quite the interesting bunch of characters, Salem and Firestar especially, but he'd be lying if he wasn't a bit weird himself all things considered.
• Missile only:
  • Missile is what you'd expect out of a Pomeranian: Dumb, excitable, and overall pretty cute. But there's more to meets the eye with this little pooch as he's far more crucial to the event than you would expect. Not only does he gain the powers of the dead and got quite the hang of it but he also requested to remain dead to further help his owners Kamila and Lynne. Also, Ray is actually himself, or rather a much older version of himself in the timeline where Sissel refused to help him. Thus, he took to The Slow Path and told Sissel in the second timeline just enough information to spur him into helping, even lying about that bit about ghosts disappearing. In short, this little doggie is far smarter than he looks and, as Ray, actually managed to outplay everyone.
  • Even armed with the knowledge of the previous timelines, particularly the Bad Future where Ray came from, he's still not that different from his old self. He's seen a lot, sure, but it'll take more than that to bring down the energy of this little doggie. That, and he's a dog so he still doesn't know a lot of things either. Even so,
  • Going above and beyond the call of loyalty to one's owner has earned him some recognition in his fellow dogs. Among them, he has gotten along with Hachiko, Odie, the Dogmeats, Bolt, Shadow, and Chance. If on the off chance he's not by Kamila or Lynne's side he's probably around one of them.
• Lynne only:
  • Steadfast and hot-blooded, Lynne is the key to helping unravel Sissel's past and the two (through a bit of effort) have decided to help one another to further each other's interests. These interests include looking into the case of Detective Jowd, who they find out later is going to be executed tonight. It's a good thing Sissel got to help her as her independent investigation leaves her quite exposed to danger by a mysterious organization and Yomiel, the man who ended up taking her hostage ten years ago and apparently blamed her for ruining his life.
  • Being the young detective that she is Lynne frequently works with the likes of Naoto Shirogane and Kyoko Kirigiri in various investigations. While they agree she still has a lot to learn (mainly for marching off into danger, apparently she passed her exams in the new timeline legitimately) they do recognize her determination, particularly when it came to trying to clear Jowd's name, briefly resisting being possessed, and saving Kamila from drowning in a submarine even knowing the both of them couldn't swim. Plus, being friends with a supernatural cat and dog helps them too.
  • She is apart of the nine lives that Sissel manages to save in that fateful night, though she holds the record of having her fate averted the most numbering in a grand total of five different occasions. Quite exasperating considering only two of them came from assassins sent to kill her. She also got progressively more brazen each and every death, leaving Sissel progressively more and more dumbfounded. It's for this very reason she was able to relate to Kenny McCormick, Cú Chulainn, and Blacker Baron (stop starin') as all three have experience in dying repeatedly. She doesn't hang out with them often, but Sissel hearing she made actual camaraderie this way has left him even more dumbfounded than before. Here's to hoping her deaths don't get even more over the top.
• Kamila only:
  • Detective Jowd's pride and joy, his one and only cheerful daughter. Once, in her mother's birthday she tried to surprise her by setting up a Rube Goldberg device to greet her but was manipulated into committing matricide. When Jowd came home he was horrified and opted to take the fall for his daughter and tampered with the scene to suit the story he told. After that she ended up living with Lynne instead and little did she know that five years later her troubles wouldn't end with just Jowd's accepted execution drawing near. Like Lynne, she'd end coming face-to-face with a mysterious organization even (albeit accidentally) kidnapped by them. As you may of noticed life isn't exactly kind to her, but all of that misfortune did get undone in the end and she got to live a better life.
  • Lynne, Jowd, and Cabanela are often made busy by work in the Pantheon and Yomiel is often on his own with his fiancee so Kamila tends to be alone pretty often if her mother, Alma, isn't around. Sure, she has Sissel and Missile but that's hardly adult supervision, even if she is quite independent herself. That changed when the android known as S.A.T.8 offered to look after Kamila in her off time as a PMC employee. It's not a big deal, really, being a nanny was one of the many jobs she had.
  S.A.T.8: In the mood for some spaghetti tonight, Kamila?
  Kamila: You bet I am!
  • Following the day her mother got shot she seemed to have lost her dexterous ability and became quite the klutz. Thankfully, this got fixed in the new timeline and continues to have a knack for complex contraptions. She got along quite well with the duos Wallace & Grommit along with Phineas & Ferb as a result and has taken note of their inventions.
• Cabanela only:
  • Head of the Special Investigation Unit, Cabanela is quite the strange Inspector all things considered. He's quite flamboyant character with his dance-like movements and tendency to sound out his vowels. He's a ladder-climber and puts great emphasis on that spotless record of his, but there's more than meets the eye with this man in white. For one, his record is not as clean as you would believe as in the past while interrogating a man named Yomiel he'd make two grave mistakes. First, he ruthlessly interrogated him in a bid to find the truth and to impress his superiors. And second, he left his gun in the room he was in. With those two combined Yomiel ended up escaping though that mess would sort itself out after Jowd chased down Yomiel.
    • Five years later, though, he'd find out that Jowd is seemingly guilty of shooting his own wife one day. Even when he "confessed" Cabanela wouldn't have any of that, however, and worked tirelessly in the present to prove his innocence and at one point found out it was the work of a "Manipulator" and that he was working with some foreign country.
  • Even if it's a far more mundane case than that of the one involving Yomiel and the Temsik meteor he was nonetheless interested in the case revolving around the Origami Killer. Naturally, this was how he got in touch in Norman Jayden. While the FBI didn't know what to think of the Inspector at first he did come around since for as eccentric Cabanela can be he really is good at his job. It helps that they're both ultimately By-the-Book cops.
  • Ever one to dancing descend wherever he goes, to the point where his coworkers assume he actively draws power from doing it, Cabanela gets along well with the Elite Beat Agents. Once can even say he's quite the fan of their work. And his improved investigation skills thanks to their performances is something to behold. The same friendliness doesn't quite apply towards Raphael, considering he is a thief and all, but the opposition isn't anything serious.
    • It ended up getting less serious one night, where after tracking down Raphael one night, he found him going to the art museum with a painting in his hands. Figuring it was a forgery, he tracked him down and after seeing him switch a painting with the one in his hand, tried to bust Raphael by proving that the painting was a fake...only to realize that Raphael had replaced it with the real deal and that he had stolen the forged copy. When questioned about this, Raphael told Cabanela that his father had actually painted forgeries to help pay for his medicine when he was a sick boy, and now he's dedicated to returning all the proper art pieces back to their rightful places. Cabanela gave a rebuttal to this by asking him why he didn't just give the real copies to the authorities, to which Raphael laughed off, saying "That's no way to groove!" before dancing off. While Cabanela still tries to hunt him down as Phantom R, it's definitely more of a Friendly Enemy situation, and his respect for the Phantom Thief only grew.
• Jowd only:
  • A man burdened by guilt, not only from convincing himself that he let his wife die but also the showdown he had with a runaway suspect in the form of Yomiel. Though it devolved into a young hostage situation with a younger Lynne, and Yomiel himself was killed by outside means he still beats himself up on the man inevitably dying by his hands otherwise. Quite the dark past, but he's relatively jovial and quite snide all things considered. Through Sissel saving him from an exploding electric chair, attempting to break him out of prison, and calling off his execution by proving his innocence he was able open his eyes and get him back on his feet as a detective.
  • When it comes to work in the House of Law and Justice aside from working with Lynne and Cabanela he also is frequently partnered up with Ryotaro Dojima, a single father with an only daughter and guilt surrounding the death of one's wife. Kind of sounds familiar, doesn't it? Mind you, there's not a whole lot else that's the same, especially after the changed timelines, but things are similar enough for both men to get where the other was coming from. But back to their occupations: Watch out, crime.
  • Once a Death Seeker, and can easily sympathize with those who have or once had that mentality. Thunder, for example, had one such mindset herself. Granted, it came from different traumas than Jowd's but suffering is suffering in the end. You may think there's a bit of some dark irony in him making friends with a girl named Thunder when he was killed by an electric chair, and you would be right. And it's not lost on him, but he just laughs it off. A joke is a joke, and sometimes you have to do just that.
• Yomiel only:
  • Once, Yomiel was a top systems engineer, perhaps even the best in the entire country if one believes his words. A government agent asked him to be apart of a project which entailed building a new system to reorganize the nation's secrets through multidimensional programming theory. Such a project would attract many a spy and he would end up being suspected as one himself. After some interrogations by Cabenela and a stand-off with Jowd he would end up being killed the Temsik meteor.
    • Reborn as a ghost inhabiting his now-immortal body, finding out his fiancee committed suicide in attempt to join him in death, and the subsequent loneliness he felt from as a result of both was what kicked off the plot in the first place. Those feelings transformed to resentment and desperation and it was what drove him into making a deal with a mysterious organization who desired the Temsik fragment's power in exchange to helping fulfilling Yomiel's desires. Despite helping him wipe out everyone who knew about the Temsik meteor, Yomiel soon found out he was included in Sith's definition of everyone and would find himself trapped in a sinking coffin of Sith's submarine, the Yonoa. With Sissel the cat and Missile's effort he'd be granted the chance to undo everything that had happened. He'd get his legs crushed by a giant rock and serve ten years in jail for taking a kid hostage, but Yomiel would still live a normal life with his fiancee.
  • Though driven partly by revenge for the majority of his story, he no longer desires it and doesn't want to associate himself with people who had famously gone down that path either. This would of course include the entire House of Revenge and Retribution, and quite honestly a House centered around such a concept leaves a bad taste in Yomiel's mouth. The few exceptions to this came in the form of Count Bleck, who was driven to omnicidal madness when his lover, Tippi, was taken away from him. He'd find out later that Tippi would be alright and she eventually got him to abandon this path of his. Certainly a lot higher in terms of sheer damage by a grand margin, but it was a destructive path nonetheless.
  • The House of Machinery and Technology would allow him to continue work as systems engineer despite his previous actions, the reasoning being that he's long past that and has atoned for it. Grateful, he began work immediately and during his first day he would be surprised that two people came to visit him just before he was done for the day. These people were Chihiro Fujisaki and Kaede Akamatsu and they revealed to him that they pushed for his placement in the House having both pitied his story and realized he's a much better person now after having helped avert fate one last time and properly served his sentence. He's on good terms with the two ever since and has worked with the former often while attending concerts by the latter.

• The Five Nights at Freddy's franchise is known for its ambiguity, however even by those standards Michael Afton is a mysterious figure. The son of Serial Killer William Afton, it's theorized that he is determined to stop his father's madness, put the souls of his victims to rest and finally be able to die. He's "Eggs Benedict", the protagonist in Five Nights at Freddy's: Sister Location who's innards were scooped out, but continues to walk the Earth after Ennard ejected itself. Implied to be The Hero of the video-game part of the series.
• Initially suspected to be Springtrap's inhabitant, instead of his father. This later proved false. It's hinted that Mike Schmidt may be a fake identity he took, but since this hasn't been made concrete they are treated as different people in the pantheon. If certain theories are true, he may even be the brother of the Crying Child, further explaining his actions. Again, he's pretty ambiguous.
• Despite the similar appearance, he is not his father. It's implied Michael despises his father, William, for tearing the family apart in his child abduction and murder schemes, along with letting him die in his steed. He hates being mistaken as it is one of the main reasons for his state of undeath. He understands where Shouto Todoroki is coming from due to also hating being compared to his dad.
• Hates anyone like his father, for that matter. He despises Freddy Krueger for being a Serial Killer of children like William, and being undead like him. He's no fan of the 456 Ambassador for their massive harvest of children, or Tohru Adachi and Manny Padro for being killer cops since William Afton appears to have been a security guard.
• Utterly terrified of clowns, no matter what their alignment. Given he was mutilated by a conglomerate of robot clowns, it's pretty understandable. Also understandable that he would hate those who flay people or wear the skin like Ramsay Bolton and Leatherface, the former he thinks may be even worse than his dad. He pities the Black Knight for suffering his numerous wounds due to his history, though the Black Knight doesn't like to be pitied and insists it's Only a Flesh Wound.
• He is pretty hesitant towards entering the House of Machinery and Technology given animatronics hollowed him out and left him like this. And unlike Freddy and his friends, he's not even an example of Haunted Technology or an Artificial Zombie. He's not even sure how he's up and about, but it might be due to something called a "remnant". Because his unclear identity and being mistaken for his father, they are on edge with each other, especially if he really is Mike Schmidt and/or the Crying Child's brother.
  • His exact relationship with Golden Freddy is shrouded in mystery: Some say he treats him the same as the other animatronics, other say he is left almost speechless in the presence of the golden bear, alongside tearing up and saying "I'm so sorry" over and over. Those who say the latter happens often believe that he's the older brother from the fourth game and his younger bro is Golden Freddy.
• Has been mistaken for William both because of their Strong Family Resemblance, and because they're both Purple Guys. Though for Michael, he's literally purple due to decay, while William isn't. A Revenant Zombie, he wanders to find and possibly kill his father, succeeding in the mortal realm and continuing in the pantheon. He has found a kindred spirit with Bloody Marie and Reimi Sugimoto due to their desire for revenge.
• Feels some kinship towards SCP-1440 for being a fellow doomed soul, cursed with a form of immortality that brings misery; being a nightmarish corpse for Michael, being a Walking Disaster Area for the Old Man From Nowhere. He prays the old man one day find death, as he eventually did as he and the rest of his family burned.
• The severe mutilation he's suffered leads him to feel bad for those who had particularly gruesome fates. He sympathizes with Jonathan Joestar for having his corpse decapitated and Dio's head transplanted, using it as his new body. Michael perfectly understands what it's like to be mutilated and used by someone else. He feels really bad for Czeslaw Meyer for the gruesome murders he suffered under Fermet.
• Given what his father has done, he despises those who experiment on kids like Dr Gero. What he really hates are parents who do this on their own kids, like Relius Clover and Professor Hojo. He feels for those who have been experimented on.

• The Early Cretaceous Period, 120 Million Years Ago, was a time were dinosaurs upheld their status as the dominant animals of Planet Earth and were quickly diversifying into several new types. One of these was a large maniraptoran known as Utahraptor, whose clade quickly rose up to become one of the leading and most successful sorts of theropod dinosaurs. Even then, they led difficult and intense, as is the case of one such Utahraptor, named "Raptor Red", who was desperate to search for a mate after losing hers in a botched hunt for an Astrodon. She reunited with her sister, which ended up causing further tension as, unlike Red, her sister was irate and uncooperative. Together, they would explore North America, fighting against other rival raptors, hostile carnivores, and surviving harsh weather changes and climate, though Red's Sister proved contentious when she didn't like a consort that Red found to have as her mate and soon drove him away. This proved to be a grave mistake when, in a harsh snowy region, Red's pack was suddenly attacked by a Deinonychus horde, with Red's sister dying from injuries sustained from prior hunts and from the assault while Red was left in the Deinonychus pack when suddenly, she was saved by her niece and her second mate returning to drive their smaller rivals away. Settling in the cold regions with a cave as their home, the Utahraptor became accustomed to their new surroundings with Red bearing a batch of offspring with her new mate, a testament to the upcoming success of the raptor dinosaurs in general.
• On one particular day, Red decided to go out on a hunting campaign with her family, setting off for open woodlands to stalk either Iguanodon or Astrodon whilst avoid the possibility of coming across an Acrocanthosaurus or another pack of raptors. At one point, the Utahraptor's managed to track down and chase an Iguanodon, though they ended up missing their prey much to their chagrin. When deciding to hunt for something else, they ended up witnessing a spire of light from a distance and the raptors' curiosity led them to sprint off there and investigate. There, they found what appeared to be an expansive beam that opened up a portal to an unfamiliar land. Red stepping foot into it was the beginning of her life in the Pantheon, with her family joining along as her heralds. Being an animal, Red only cares that there is now a new hunting ground to explore, though the Pantheon may be up for more than enough surprises for the raptor dinosaurs.
• Raptor Red may be one of several maniraptoran dinosaurs with a position in the Pantheon, but she's certainly the only one to actually be a Utahraptor. Her species is (according to fossil evidence) the largest of her kind and were considered one of the apex predators of the Early Cretaceous Period, thanks to possessing a strong level of intelligence and familial instincts compared to other dinosaurs and being built for a combination of strength and speed. That said, the Pantheon is home to all sorts of predatory creatures, so Red doesn't really stand out. Though it doesn't change the fact that she is a fierce predator who is more than capable of killing prey thrice as big as her in case she is hunting with her family.
• While her position isn't in the Houses of Beasts and Fauna and Nature, Red mostly makes her home and hunting trips there. Many have expressed surprise that she's set up a cave residence in the Hall of Ice and Cold as, to the general audience, dinosaurs are not exactly known to live in wintry climates, though where Red operates there is in a warmer and hospitable zone, she's lucid in that being in a colder area would deter her survival skills and kill her and her family within hours or days, not to mention that Red only arrives there if the temperature is not too cold. Otherwise, she's in your usual jungle/forest area, not having a slew of new prey to prey and feast upon.
  • Red instinctual thoughts and feelings towards her family have made her rather well-known in the House of Family and Relatives. Of course, there aren't talks to make her a patron saint as Red is an animal who certainly wouldn't understand abstract concepts and would see a lot of deities there as easy prey to kill. Despite her ferocious nature, the House has no ill will towards her and sometimes reference her in a positive way as Red has proven herself to be a dedicated and resourceful individual who has the concern of her family as a high priority, even though she did consider leaving behind one of her sister's chicks due to desperation. Speaking of, Red's sister is more of a cautionary tale, due to her more impulsive and aggressive nature, which led to her death after bypassing common sense and getting gravely injured on several occasions. The House would assert that they don't mean disrespect to Red's sister.
• Humans are a peculiar sort of creatures for Red. She's witnessed enough that despite looking like easy species to hunt and kill, they have proven themselves to be capable of defending themselves and more, so Red takes their presence with a sense of caution, not to mention she needs to defend her family so that her kind can thrive in the Pantheon. That said, whenever she sees a human in her hunting grounds, she doesn't really mind their presence all too much as they're not all that big, and eating one isn't going to wholly fulfill her hunger, instead opting for bigger animals to kill. She will kill a human out of self-defense if they somehow pose a threat or out of desperation in a food shortage in her hunting grounds. Thankfully, the latter hasn't happened... yet.
  • That said, Red does have some tolerance for those who are not of her family or species. Some individuals, such as Rexxar, Steve Irwin, and Eliza Thornberry have shown a deal of restraint towards the raptor, a sign that they acknowledge her as a predator and also not as an enemy. The fact that all three of them would want to be appreciative and respectful of Red has caught her curiosity to some extent. She personally sees Steve's antics as weird, but rather interesting to watch, respects Rexxar's command and control of several creatures whilst being affable enough to understand their autonomy and individuality, and Eliza sometimes communicates with Red, which helps as the former can view the latter as a being who simply wants to survive and thrive in a new world and that Eliza doesn't mean any harm towards Red or her pack.
• Jack Tenrec was a human who was generally unafraid of dinosaurs, given his own experiences in looking after them, though he does tend to be wary about the more dangerous ones, raptors included. He managed to win Red's respect, in spite of having an Allosaurus as his animal companion, though Hannah Dundee, Jack's main traveling companion seems uneasy about the raptor, which does annoy Red at times. That said, Jack and Hannah have proven to be quite helpful, looking after Red's territory and meaning well for them, which meant that they were allowed, so long as they didn't directly intrude in any of Red's hunts. John Hammond and David Attenborough also expressed interest in Red and her family, with the former seeking to have her home and territory labeled as a protected conservatory in the Pantheon, and the latter wanting to film a documentary detailing her experiences in the Pantheon. Red has no understanding of what the two desire, but ultimately allows them as she personally doesn't see them as a problem to her pack's well-being.
• Her story was one that was written and published by a paleontologist and was well-known for vividly describing the life experience of a dinosaur without any anthropomorphizing, alongside being quite accurate (for its time, that is). Regardless of her outdated look, she is highly respected by Alan Grant, a paleontologist who specializes in studying and researching maniraptorans. It's not the first time he's admired raptors, as can be told with his experience in Isla Nublar and Isla Sorna. However, because the raptors cloned by InGen were "circus freaks" according to Dr. Grant, Red is appreciated more due to being an actual dinosaur who arrived from her own period of time. Her bird-like behavior has also fascinated Grant as it's the sort of tics that he's always expected from raptors. Ian Malcolm also came to respect Red and the Utahraptors more than the Velociraptors he encountered and sees her story as an excellent example of Chaos Theory, as she was an immigrant to North America and how she laid a blueprint for the success of the maniraptorans during the Cretaceous Period.
• A notable raptor, Red found herself competing against a quartet pack of genetically engineered Velociraptors who were known to be one of the deadliest and most feared dinosaurs in their world and in the Pantheon. Aside from being different species and having very similar prey and preferences, they don't really have anything against each other other than being natural rivals. Thankfully, they patrol different parts of land as their territory and are quite attached to them, so they don't meet all that often. It helps that Owen Grady, the Raptor Pack's alpha and herald, makes attempts to try stopping the pack from getting out of their designated fields and quarreling against another pack. Even so, Red Pack and the Velociraptors have just growled towards one another at worst during the one time they met and that was diffused when Red and her pack backed away and walked back to their field. While she was physically stronger, she's not risking her family's lives and decided to be pragmatic.
  • Riptor, on the other hand, is a more hostile raptor that Red and her family stay clear of anything she enters their presence. It doesn't help that unlike the engineered Velociraptors created by InGen as a park attraction, Riptor was created by Ultratech to be a weapon product in a line known as "Stalkers" and, by design, she is perpetually vicious and itching to kill something. She is one creature in which Red's pack and the Velociraptor pack have a mutual enmity against and, on a very rare occasion, would work together to drive Riptor out. Though things get complicated with the involvement of ARIA, an enhanced AI creation and robot of Ultratech who has close ties with Riptor.
• Red has dealt with predators larger than herself, with her species having to compete against the Acrocanthosaurus when it came down in the food chain and evolution. Understandably, the Acros were far stronger than the raptors, who had to rely more on their wits, speed, and agility to challenge the Acros dominance. The Pantheon was no different, with Red coming to learn about large predatory dinosaurs like Rexie, the Carnotaurus duo, Gwangi, Big Al, and Speckles. Neither of them really care much for Red and just mind their own lives, though they've almost come to blows against Red and her family considering how the raptors are quite migratory at times. Of course, she doesn't want to directly fight against them, knowing that she wouldn't really stand a chance against them, so as usual, she has to rely on her intelligence to win out her struggles.
  • While some of the large meat-eating dinosaurs aren't exactly a threat to Red and her family, provided they themselves don't intrude into their territories and/or start competing for food sources, there are others that are a direct problem, mainly because they display abnormal behavior for a predator and would sometimes kill for the hell of it, such as a genetically engineered Spinosaurus, Sharptooth, and One Eye, all of whom tend to be feared by most in the Houses of Beasts and Fauna and Nature. Red always takes them seriously and would often try to find a way to outsmart them so she and her pack can at least escape from their needless rampages.
  • Even so, Red is more terrified by the likes of the Indominus Rex, Indoraptor, and the Deviljho, who are ridiculously persistent and far too violent and brutal for any sort of creature. This is apparent in how the Indominus simply kills whatever gets in the way of her teeth and claws, the Indoraptor likes to toy with his prey to lull them into an unsuspecting trap, and the Deviljho is perpetually hungry and is always on the move to kill and eat something, alongside being recurringly demented and rage-driven. Red and her family can put up a brave front towards most of the other large carnivores, but she acknowledges that these three are beyond what she is capable of and simply would prefer to run away from them as far away as she could unless a member of her pack is in danger, which would instinctively cause Red to strike back at her offender.
• She's normally indifferent towards whatever herbivores she comes across. After all, she would only hunt and kill them because raw meat is a part of her dietary need and this is how nature intended a Utahraptor to be like. Her preferred prey tends to be medium-sized ones like iguanodonts and smaller sauropods, though, in the case of the latter, she's more careful about the larger ones, given that her sister futilely tried to attack one and ended up becoming severely injured out of retaliation. Bron and a certain Brontosaurus come to mind, with Red choosing to ignore them, though the Brontosaurus immediately chose to recognize Red and her pack as a threat. Bron simply doesn't care, and the Gang of Seven tries to make as much distance as they can from the Utahraptors. Red did consider killing the juvenile dinosaurs to provide food and sustenance for her offspring, but seeing as their leader, Littlefoot, is Bron's son, she immediately backed away, not wanting to meet a similar result as her sister did.

• Visual Novels are usually stories "written" in the form of literature, but with a combination of still pictures and a few video game elements, as well as a Choose Your Own Adventure style, which gives way to multiple endings. And then are are these types; Kinetic Novels, which have zero interactivity, and is basically a short story with accompanied by visuals and audio. While not the first, the story of True Remembrance is among them (Higurashi: When They Cry and Kikokugai: The Cyber Slayer precede them, but one of them already has its main characters ascended under varying tropes, while the other is an eroge, and there's a strange taboo here in regards to them; Mara's presence is already pushing the limit). Unlike Linear Visual Novels, which give an illusion of multiple endings, Kinetic Novels don't bother with that, not that that makes them portentially less enjoyable than regular visual novels. This duo, known only as Blackiris and La, come from such a Kinetic Novel.
  • Before they were ascended to the Pantheon, the two have been wandering the outside world after escaping the town that used to be their ward. That was how they were found and how they easily accepted the offer of ascension from the Court of the Gods.
• Applies to both:
  • The world they come from is plagued by a psychological epidemic called the Dolor, which seems to inflict Psyche Corrosion, which basically drived people so deep in sadness and helplessnes that they become suicidal. The town they came from is a government-sanctioned establishment that is basically a huge psychiatric ward. Blackiris is a Mnemonicide and Guide and La was his Guest, which is another term for "patient" except she's a Mnemonicide, too, and the roles were actually reversed. Mnemonicides are people who help Guests suffering from Dolor by erasing their memories that lead to Psyche Corrosion by first seeing them, essentially transferring them into themselves, though La can do it the standard way. Additionally, a Mnemonicide's powers, barring Class Omegas, evnetually fade…when they have been "filled to capacity" or otherwise burn out. Of course, this isn't a problem in the Pantheon.
    • Don't bother asking too many questions on things about their world. Their isolation from the rest of it means several of them will remain unanswered.
    • Their world drew the attention of SCP-049. Although the Dolor's not a physical disease, more of a mental one, the Plague Doctor holds interest in curing it, though his methods mean they stay away from him whenever they can.
    • Dr. Dala also harbors interest in the disease as well, since her expertise extends to Medical Sciences. She always tries and investigates things about the disease, trying to figure out how to cure it as well. Even as the more "saner" members of the Think Tank, she's still not quite right in the head and can be a bit creepy when it comes to studying and asking questions from the duo.
    • Also, the reason why there was even an isolated town for Mnemonicides to do their work rather than them going out in the world to help people is because a Mnemonicide's powers—and their control over them—are incredibly unstable things, and they aren't even well-known to the world as a whole due to risk of a bloody uprising. Given their powers and its potential, they're pretty justified.
  • Blackiris's Mnemonicide abilities manifest by looking into the subject's eyes, though the one time he claimed that, he didn't actually use them, though he probably did use them in another instance on a hostage-taker who had La. As for La, it comes through her voice when she sings, as Blackiris can attest to. Given there are better (and more efficient) amnesiac methods in the Pantheon, however, better than Blackiris's, at least, such as Brain Bleach and the Men in Black's neuralyzers, the two are content with living what amounts to normal life in the Pantheon and will not be taking in Guests. Either of them. And La makes sure to assauge any worries that Blackiris might use his powers on a whim on anyone who looks at him the wrong way.
    • If however for whatever reason someone insists, they will do so and accommodate their Guest until the Brain Bleach is delivered or better amnesiac-inducers arrive, but Blackiris is not allowing them any housework or cleaning up; that's supposed to be his job, and La prefers to do it anyway.
    • That said, Simon Henriksson somehow managed to become their Guest after La got acquainted with him through Sayori. And after some pleading, Blackiris decided to indulge in his partner's wishes, given Simon suffered from depression and his situation worsened during his game, causing him to have a psychosis.
  • As residents of a world rife with a despair-causing epidemic, neither like those who wish to further propagate it. And top of that list are Monokuma and Junko Enoshima.
• Exclusive to Blackiris:
  • Blackiris doesn't mind if anybody wishes to call him by any other name and would point that out, but people normally just call him Blackiris because it's easier.
  • For pastimes, Blackiris plays Go, though while he's certainly a competent, the only points of reference are La (who loses all too often) and his unascended friend Rook (who wins around one game every five they play).
  • Blackiris has experience with using guns, and is perfectly willing to use them if need be.
  • Having used to working in a polluted city and its factories before running away, Blackiris doesn't like those who wish to perpetuate that lifestyle. He's also had to scrape by before he was recruited for his Mnemonicidal abilities, which he signed up on with right then.
• Exclusive to La:
  • Very few know this, but La's hair used to be completely black. It turned white after she absorbed the memories of Analye, her previous caretaker, upon his death.
  • Prior to her adoption by Analye, La used to live in her parents' basement, not out of malice, but because they didn't know what to do with her (likely due to her Mnemonicide powers). As such, she sympathizes with those who have had worse living conditions, such as Harry Potter before Hogwarts came to his life.
  • The two take coffee every morning, which La makes, though she never drinks hers, always taking milk. Still, she hopes to make better stuff and visits Godot to learn more on the art.
  • Having dealt with depression before, Sayori of the (Doki Doki^#to differentiate from other literature clubs) Literature Club visits them on occasion, mostly to hang out with La, and has even invited her to join the club. Blackiris always tags along whenever she does, mostly in concern regarding Monika and the things she's done.
  • Taking La as a hostage is a bad idea, and she would let herself be taken if it would prevent others from bcoming hostages as well. Not only would Blackiris come running, so would the friends she's made, not counting those who would respond to a hostage situation anyway. And that's if she doesn't decide/get to use her Mnemonicide powers first.

Francis (Felidae)

Francis, God of Mature Animal Stories (Clever Shit, Smart-ass)

• Demigod
• Symbol: His prominent green eyes
• Theme Song: Felidae
• Alignment: Neutral Good
• Portfolio: REALLY smart for a cat, a black cat who is the hero, beware the nice cat, a very snarky narrator, kitty amateur detective
• Domains: Cats, Adult Fiction, Mysteries, Detectives
• Herald: Bluebeard, Sancta
• Allies: Bluestar, Bastet, Sakaki
• Enemies: Claudandus
• Vitriolic Best Buds: Salem
• Respected by: Humphrey Bogart
• Odd Friendship: Basil and Dawson
• Francis is a domestic cat who moves around a lot with his pulp writer owner. After just recently moving into a new neighborhood, Francis found a cat murdered in a gruesome manner. Francis decided to investigate as other cats killed in a similar way kept appearing, dealing with common thugs and a cult along the way. He successfully traced the origin of the murders to Claudandus, a cat supremacist mad with ambition to create a new breed of cats and overthrow humanity, and killed him before the evil cat could do more damage. Francis would go on to solve other crimes that weren't exactly for the faint-of-heart.
• For a while, it was a matter of debate as to whether Francis or Fritz the Cat should ascend as the god of adult-oriented, animal-centered storytelling. In the end, Francis won out over Fritz due to behaving more like an animal than the latter. Despite this, however, Fritz wasn't left entirely in the dark, as he would eventually become Francis' High Priest.
  • Occasionally, though, Fritz still expresses bitterness over the whole situation. There are times where he insists that the title should have gone to him, and that Francis should have been his High Priest instead.
• Bastet, excited to see another feline ascend, welcomed Francis to the Pantheon with open arms. Francis' former owner, Gus, studied in archaeology and specialized in ancient Egyptian gods, so he was very interested in meeting her. They've definitely kept in touch with each other since their first meeting, and Bastet has admitted her disappointment that Francis couldn't be a member of the House of Felines. As far as she's concerned, though, Francis is an honorary member.
• Perhaps Francis' closest friend in the Pantheon is Bluestar. Though he's never stated it, many deities think it's obvious that Bluestar reminds Francis of his deceased friend, Felicity, and that had a major part in how close they've become. Sometimes Francis wonders what his Warrior name would be. Firestar, Bluestar's successor, thinks Sharpeye would be a good one, to reflect his intelligence.
• While working on solving a case, Francis tends to have dreams containing clues to the truth he's seeking. He has never understood why this happens, but after meeting Bluestar and some more warrior cats who were happy to tell him about their customs, Francis is starting to think that the warriors ancestors StarClan, who tend to send prophecies and warnings in the form of dreams, are watching over him too.
• Sakaki, being the cat lover that she is, can very often be seen feeding Francis or petting him. Francis, of course, very much enjoys this treatment, and doesn't get why other cats would attack such a kind girl.
• Even though Francis has promised on many occasions that he would not harm them, many rodent deities of the Pantheon are still wary of him. This is because Francis, being a cat, has hunted and killed many rats and mice prior to his ascension. Despite this, Francis has still managed to become fairly good friends with Basil and Dawson, seeing as they are both animals who solve mysteries.
• Francis and Salem claim to be allies, but you'd never guess by how often they snark, bicker, and hurl flowery insults at each other. Francis isn't exactly sure how he feels about the fact that Salem was once a warlock who tried to Take Over the World 500 years ago.
  • Francis isn't sure what to think of Garfield and Big either. To a cat like him, there's just something unsettling about cats who stand on two legs and can talk to humans. Big especially is intimidating to Francis, given how big he is.
• Humphrey Bogart very much respects Francis, seeing as his source material is often summarized as a film noir with cats. Much like Sakaki, Bogart is often seen feeding Francis or petting him. It certainly helps that the both of them share a House, too.

  • Former enemy: Richter Berg
• Opposed by: Any Deity of Russian descent, any member of law enforcement, those who don't kill
• Sympathizes with: Suffering war veterans, Bloody Marie, anyone who got in trouble with the mafia
• Ascended after the events that transpired in Miami, and for someone with a reputation like his, it was surprisingly discreet: He went through the entrance for his ascension and went straight to his temple, Richard Mask in hand. While some deities went about their business, others stayed the hell away after hearing some of his gruesome exploits. The Masked Maniac, nicknamed Jacket has come to the Pantheon.
• Regarding what exactly happened to Jacket in the heat of 1989 Miami... well, it's a long story. A long, weird story. To start, Jacket was an agent of 50 Blessings, a nationalist group dedicated to destroying the Russian Mafiya and undermining the Russo-American Coalition. Jacket was one of their top hitmen, a cold-blooded killer who would not stop 'till a job was done. His life started to go off the rails when a fellow agent, known only as the Biker due to his choice in headwear, started trying to get out of the business, and Jacket was sent to take care of him. To hear Jacket tell it, the Biker massacred every employee at the PhoneHom phone company, then attacked Jacket, forcing him to kill the Biker in self-defense. But that's not what happened. The Biker gave Jacket a chance to leave, then when Jacket wouldn't back down, beat him to within an inch of his life. 50 Blessings was not happy when they heard of Jacket's failure, and sent a rat-masked assassin named Richter to kill him. Jacket came home to find his girlfriend's corpse in the living room and Richter waiting for him with a silenced Uzi. Fortunately for him, Jacket survived the shooting, and hallucinated the events of the last couple of months while in a coma, hallucinating his victory at the phone company and seeing his old friend at various stores. When he woke up, he immediately headed out to the police station to get some information on just what the hell had happened to him. Jacket traced the mysterious calls, as well as Richter's hit, to a Russian mob boss named Ivan Lebedev. Obviously, Lebedev didn't live long. Jacket went peacefully to prison for killing Lebedev and his son, thinking everything was solved...
  • Unfortunately, he was wrong. Turns out 50 Blessings had been playing him the whole time. They had sent him on a wild goose chase against the Russians, getting rid of a dangerous wild card and crippling the Mafiya in one fell swoop. Jacket was simply a scapegoat, and when the Russians nuked Miami, he died without ever knowing otherwise.
• His temple is his old apartment back from before he was hospitalized. It's not in the best condition, although he didn't have much to work with given the state he found it in. It's said that the apartment was a lot nicer at some point, back when Jacket saved a prostitute from a sickening film producer and brought her home to live with him, but it would be in your best interest to not touch upon the subject.
• Naturally, he's quite infamous among any Russians within the Pantheon and is automatically enemies with any Russian mobster within the Pantheon due to crippling their influence after waking from his coma. He's also automatically enemies with any Soviets due to being a veteran in the war against them. He harbors a very negative view of Vladimir Makarov and Nikita Dragovich as a result, who only serve to justify his negative view on Russians in general.
  • Made enemies with Lionel Starkweather since he reminds Jacket of the aforementioned filmmaker, whose eyes he gouged out, and has no qualms doing it again to Lionel. It happened once with Cash and it can happen again and again thanks to the Pantheon's rules on death. Jacket was pleased when he heard about that. Lionel, on his part, feigned confidence, but he hasn't gone near Jacket's temple since the killer made enemies with him...
• The PAYDAY Crew are pleased with his ascension due to his assistance with their schemes. Some deities question whether or not the Jacket that aids them is the real deal given his attitude change after the killing sprees in Miami and that he's quite young looking for someone in their 40s to 50s. There's speculation going around says that Jacket is actually a Loony Fan taking up his visage, which isn't too crazy of a theory after what happened in 1991. Regardless, it would be heavily advised to never cross him as he's much more insane and is considerably more competent in killing. Just look what happened to this poor cloaker. Luckily, it's easy to notice the change in attitude as he communicates through a tape recorder with an absurd amount of fitting sound bytes. One wonders how he answers the pager without sounding the least bit suspicious.
  • Outside his work with them and his conflicts with general scumbags and Russian Mobsters, Jacket lives his life like anyone else would. He's seen in the House of Food or Theater after a long day to get some food, take a drink, or rent some videos. Since he no longer hallucinates the people he meets as Beard, he has little reason to stick around for long, often going straight home. Then again, he wasn't a talkative guy to begin with.
• Respects Marv for avenging Goldie's death and for taking down Kevin and Cardinal Roark. It's not surprising to find the two hunting down the lowlifes that dwell in the Pantheon. When Jacket told him about his experiences in Miami, the latter promised to take down the Miami Mafiya for what they did should they come around to the Pantheon. Shame they've both got the wrong guys.
• Understandably is opposed by many deities affiliated with law enforcement in the Pantheon for his slaughter of police officers after awaking from his coma, especially if he's with the PAYDAY Crew. On his regular days, he doesn't openly go after them unless they tick him off to the point of acting. Naturally, he also isn't liked that much by the House of Law and Justice or any heroic figure who are opposed to killing.
• Sympathizes with Niko Bellic due to his background as a war veteran and troubles with the Mafiya, something that mirrors his own experiences back in Hawaii and Miami. Jacket actually respects that he had long abandoned his criminal career since he himself doesn't actually enjoy violence that much despite being surrounded by it. This sympathy extends to others who suffered similar experiences.
  • His relationship with Marie, however, is shaky. Although she is ruthless in her hunt for mafia, she does not involve anyone outside of that and is quite iffy on his brutality on some of his victims, mainly the aforementioned sadistic producer, which mirrors her best friend's mutilation. Jacket did convey to her that his slaughter of police officers was because he REALLY needed to hunt down Richter for killing the girl he rescued despite sparing him in the end. It's uneasy, but Jacket does admire her reasons for becoming the Skullgirl, since it's no different for his conviction to pay back and avenge the soldier from the war.

Noah

Noah, High Prophet of Saving Population From Disaster (Grand Rider)

• Demigod
• Symbol: The ark he made
• Theme Song : Make Thee An Ark (for a fan-made case, Noah's Theme)
• Alignment: Lawful Neutral with risk of falling to Lawful Evil (though vilified as Lawful Good)
• Portfolio: Rescuing Two Of Every Animal In An Ark, Adaptational Badass, Anti Heroic Vegetarian, Byronic Hero, Dark Messiah, Jerk with a Heart of Gold, Misanthrope Supreme, Papa Wolf, Sanity Slippage, Well-Intentioned Extremist
• Domains: Animals, Saviour, Boats
• Heralds: His family
• High Priest: Utnapishtim
• Followers: Johannes von Schicksal, Ark, Dr. Totenkopf, Evan Baxter
• Allies: Moses, protectors of nature and animal-kind
• Enemies: all cannibals, rapists, slavers, genocidals, and general representatives of humanity at its worst, YHVH
• Commonality Connection: Robin Hood, Maximus Decimus Meridius, Jor-El
• Pities: The Young Girl and The Soldier
• Sometime after the Great Flood cleansed his world, and after he finally shed his mortal coil, Noah found himself in an unexpected "afterlife"; the Trope Pantheons. Naturally, he was confused at first, but the Court explained why he was here, after getting him over the culture shock; he had been chosen for a narrative arc he represented; the part of the story where someone has to save a population from an impending disaster. In his case, two of every animal on Earth from the flood. In respect to his religion, he's addressed as a High Prophet.
  • Of course, there came some contention given that he was initially unwilling to let his family reproduce so that humanity can go extinct. However, it's been countered with the fact that he was still saving a population (the land animals) from the Flood; humanity just wasn't on the list before he changed his mind.
• Noah heard of how many have seemed to "follow" his lead, like Bulma having one just in case of planetary destruction (which is more justified than it sounds given how many times it's been wrecked), the Arc-Gurren by Rossiu, how Donald Duck was somehow in the middle of one such event, how Arceus in one alternate timeline evacuated his kind and a few humans to an Equestria, how James Bond thwarted a villain who planned to commit global genocide and repopulate the planet with his perfect people afterward, and so on.
• For reasons he can't understand, he's found at least threee people who Robin Hood, Maximus, and Jor-El. He's closer to the last, given he tried to do the same thing, but Krypton's ways were too set that he could only send his child Kal-El.
• Is a staunch vegetarian through and through (perhaps even a vegan), and refuses any and all forms of meat. The fact that one of his sons happens to be named after a meat product is a coincidence; ham as a food item wasn't a thing in his time.
  • Speaking of Ham, he almost mistook Percy Jackson for him. The same went for Hermoine Granger for his adopted daughter Ila.
• Just like Moses, after hearing about His numerous atrocities all for the sake of being worshipped for eternity, Noah doesn't believe YHVH is his God, even when His Angels tried to sway him to His side. Eternal subjugation is just another way of saying slavery, one of many of humanity's evils.
• Ned Flanders is disappointed in Noah for some reason given he's more on the fundamentalist "Biblical patriarchs are super good" side, and seeing this "evil" side of him soured his opinions.
• Has no real opinion on the other pagan deities in the Pantheon, given none existed in his time.

Old Man Henderson

Old Man Henderson, God of Plot Derailment (Eli Burning, Young Old Man Henderson Eli Burning)

• Demigod... technically, yet even some Greater Gods fear him.
• Symbol: A lawn gnome wearing aviator sunglasses and throwing up the horns
• Alignment: Chaotic Neutral
• Portfolio: Off the Rails, Moment of Awesome, Do Not Go Gentle, Did You Just Blow Up Hastur Permanently, Lovecraft Lite, Cool Sunglasses, Winning Unwinnable Games, More Dakka, Door Stopper (backstory), Ditzy Genius, The Stoner, Collecting $40,000 worth of lawn gnomes, Donating said collection to charity but then forgetting he did so and thinking cultists must have stolen them instead, Being practically immune to SAN loss because he had very little sanity to begin with.
• Domains: Plot Derailment, Wild Cards, Chaos, Awesome, Explosions, Weed
• Allies: Prefers to work alone, but often sides with the GUAG (though his antics cause almost as many casualties in the ranks of the GUAG as they do among the GUAE). Likes Madoka, as her Heroic Sacrifice Third Option reminds him of his own Heroic Sacrifice to take down Hastur. He also considers ICEY to be a good potential ally against Hastur, since she also got screwed over by the king in yellow.
• Enemies: the Incubators, every deity originating from the Cthulhu Mythos. They're all scared of him after what he managed to do to Hastur. Recently, Hastur himself again (at least who he thinks is THE Hastur).
• While Old Man Henderson is a free spirit, he likes to work most against villains. He still doesn't like to be affiliated with the GUAG, a feeling that is mostly mutual due to the ridiculous amounts of collateral damage he causes.
• Old Man Henderson was reincarnated as Eli Burning by Nylathortep to get Hastur back in the game. Needless to say, it didn't work out well. Henderson sealed Hastur's power and fled to the Pantheons, where the Crawling Chaos can't touch him.
  • When ask about these events, Nyarlathotep from another realm of existence had nothing to say. The best answer he can give that one of his 1000 forms just wanted to do so.
• The only known investigator to ever win Call of Cthulhu, and the only known player ever to cause the DM to flip the table over in anger.
• Although he was originally considered for the House of Ambiguity, his last actions originally got him a place in the House of Heroes.
• Is taking part in the Pantheonic Rebellion, if only because he likes Madoka and seriously hates YHVH, who represents all the Railroading that Old Man Henderson is the antithesis of.
• Is, along with Mr. Welch and Noh, a member of the Trinity of Games Gone Off Track, representing the Serious aspect, also known as the Against a Bad DM aspect.
• After hearing that Hastur had some how come Back from the Dead and ascended into Pantheon, Old Man Henderson went on a guest which after a lot of off tracking, led him and Hastur to be stuck inside Michael Bay's explosion storage. However, before he would blast the storehouse into oblivion with the two inside, Hastur knocked him down with a strong gust of wind and took him somewhere else before escaping the scene. Where Old Man Henderson thinks that Hastur is waiting for the right moment to get revenge on him, in reality, the Hastur in question was actually Hasta who has no idea who Henderson is.
• The story of his life seems to defy all explanation and may occasionally change unexpectedly to reveal that Henderson has skills nobody had ever suspected he had. It is said that reading it in its entirety would drive a man just as mad as reading any Tome of Eldritch Lore, if not even more so.
• Some have theorized that Old Man Henderson is not a man at all, but something not unlike the things he combats. General consensus, however, has it that he's a man alright, but that he's just that awesome.

• Mixed Feelings On: Artix von Krieger
• Pitied/Under Protection By: The House of Family and Relatives
• Horror is an experience that uproots and shocks anyone at some given point. How much impact and fear inflicted is debatable, but it certainly can amplify when one's family and loved ones begin to get involved. In the case of a family of five who move into a new home, they are suddenly and sadistically tormented by malevolent spirits, who become disturbingly associated with five year old Carol Anne Freeling, who interact with her on a TV screen. What's shown is nothing but a buzzing sound accompanied by a blanketed white screen. It is here that Carol Anne interacts with these ghosts.
  • Even after the incident and the house being destroyed, Carol Anne continued to remain in relations to spirits even when shifted to a new home, whose spirits were the victims of an evil minister known as Reverend Henry Kane. Kane would persist, even in death, when he decides to pursue Carol Anne to a high-rise building apartment away from her parents. Overall, the child's life is just filled with ghosts who stop at nothing to mentally disturb her and her family, and later on, a singular malevolent being who's made it a goal to kill her.
• The Pantheon tends to know where to find and take care of ascended children, normally being found in the Childhood and Adolescence House and quickly becoming well-adjusted. Carol Anne Freeling... was one of the most difficult individuals to properly approach upon first notice. She wasn't in the House of Childhood and Adolescence, but rather in the Hall of Undead and Phasmata. This did not sit well with several deities who immediately opted to go out and retrieve Carol Anne and also make sure she doesn't come into harms way. The Ghostbusters were sent and were able to encounter Carol Anne, who was staring blankly at a television, palms clapped towards the screen. A cackling laugh echoed, which later revealed itself as King Boo. Noticing King Boo's presence caused Carol Anne to have a sudden panic attack and faint while the Ghostbusters had to deal with the malicious ghost in a gruelling battle. Luckily, support came under the form of John Constantine who took to personally battling King Boo with half of the Ghostbusters whereas the other half picked up the unconscious Carol Anne and made their escape from the House of Undead.
  • Carol Anne woke up in a large room surrounded by several figures, consisting of Luigi, Miku Hinasaki and Danny Phantom. She sobbed uncontrollably and shrived herself to a corner, either quiet and letting out muffled cries. Luigi, Miku and Danny have tried to comfort her by trying to play with her or offering food or jokes, but nothing seemed to work. That is until a child, Yotsuba Koiwai, entered the room. She took notice to the melancholic Carol Anne and told her that she shouldn't worry. Initially, not much happened, until later on, Carol Anne began to slowly open up and talk, although she kept mumbling about what she thought was a conversation with King Boo. Yotsuba than told her that she should try to focus on now and that she shouldn't try to be sad, because in her words, "Today is always the most enjoyable day". These words took effect on Carol Anne, and she soon let out a small giggle. It seemed as if Yotsuba was able to break Carol Anne's depressing state out for a moment.
    • This was followed by Luigi, Miku and Danny making turns and finally managing to get Carol Anne to feel optimistic. Even if it took one day, it was a hard and stressful effort to get Carol Anne happy. The incident soon reached out to the Court of the Gods who were quick to issue Carol Anne as a serious topic to be investigated.
• Carol Anne resides in the House of Narrative via Storytelling, so there isn't much of a presence in ghosts, in addition to the house having a rather amicable residence. That said, Carol Anne is well known for having a very melancholic nature and its pretty common to see her sobbing and sitting alone sullen. There have been a series of therapists who have been sent to monitor and help her out, but progress is slow, with only Yotsuba, Luigi, Miku and Danny being able to make her happy and cheerful in some way. One thing that has been made clear is that she never, ever gets to stumble across the House of Undead in any way out of fear that she gets possessed and further traumatized.
• Is associated with the color, blue. Its doubted whether its her favorite color, but she's almost always seen wearing a shade of blue. Others have taken to thinking it represents her purity and innocence. It turns out that Carol Anne is one of the purest beings in the Pantheon, her innocence being so alluring and loving most deities are inclined to adore and look after her.
  • Conversely, said innocence is also the reason why ghosts are attracted to her, thus making it a double-edged sword. Its not too often that a ghost or two would try to get into contact with Carol Anne, though its not sure whether said ghosts are dangerous or not. Several ghost fighters have taken to look after Carol Anne as much as they can to make sure she doesn't get captured. This isn't going to stop King Boo from trying though.
• That's not to say all ghosts are out there wanting to exploit or hurt Carol Anne for their own intent. She was once visited by Reimi Sugimoto, who felt sympathetic due to her experiences and was happy to see that she was able to make it out alive, which wasn't the case for Reimi, although the circumstances of her death were to do with a living Serial Killer. Carol Anne was initially freaked out by Reimi's dog, Arnold, but slowly warmed up to him after he became subservient on Reimi's command. Casper is another ghost who wanted to befriend Carol Anne, and he was able to grab her attention quite easily. She was able to talk and play with him for quite some time establishing a strong bond with the friendly ghost.
• Given her age, she is one of the most frequent visitors of the House of Family and Relatives where she gets easily accommodated in. She is pretty mature and understanding and immediately became wary of the Child Abuse Supporters upon knowing about them. She's often seen in the Childhood and Adolescence House playing and talking with other kids around her age. She seems to be the reclusive type, not really interacting much, but she is taking strides in being more open, thanks to the support she's been getting after being saved.
  • A majority of the House of Family are incredibly protective of Carol Anne and go out of their way to provide and protect her as much as they can. When the 456 Ambassador arrived for another kidnapping spree and attempted to kidnap Carol Anne upon first noticing her, he didn't expect such a brutal and unrestrained beatdown from the Heroic Protectors of Family, to the point where the 456 Ambassador had to take a break from his schemes. He's been vowing revenge ever since. The protection habit put onto Carol Anne is similar to how the Investigation Team looks after Nanako Dojima. Nanako is currently friends with Carol Anne and is teaching her how to dance, and the Investigation Team have developed a newfound respect for individuals like Luigi and Danny for how they stand up for Carol Anne.
• During an instance of a mass breakout orchestrated by ghosts, Carol Anne was tempted to approach a television screen to communicate with any ghostly denizens. She was able to target the presence of King Boo, who was attempting to orchestrate a mass sealing of deities into portraits for takeover. Fortunately, she was pulled out of communication before she could be traumatized, though remained silent for a while. This allowed the Ghostbusters and Luigi track down King Boo who defeated and captured John Constantine and half of the Ghostbusters with the assistance of Dark Danny. Luigi, Danny, the remaining Ghostbusters and the Investigation Team riled up to save Constantine and the captured Ghostbusters.
  • During the hunt, Carol Anne was secured in the House of Family, where she was monitored in case she wandered towards a TV. Seeking help, Batman was called in to investigate and to see what measures can be taken, in addition to aiding the group sent off to combat King Boo and Dark Danny. Batman set up a peculiar television for Carol Anne to communicate, thinking this could turn the favor to their side. She came into contact with Clockwork, who was quick to respond politely, giving Carol Anne a friendly interaction on a TV screen for the first time in the Pantheon, and setting off to aid Luigi, Danny, the Ghostbusters and the Investigation Team in saving Constantine and the captured Ghostbusters.
  • Despite being wary of ghosts, Carol Anne is unsure what to think of Artix von Krieger. She does feel safe around him, given that Artix is known for going up against malevolent ghosts and spirits and being a general hero to his populace. At the same time however, Carol Anne doesn't like how Artix is sometimes a bit narrow-minded about ghosts in general, stating that not all of them are bad and that he needs to step back and think about good ghosts as well. Artix nowadays is thinking about how to deal with ghosts in general other than just slaying them. He knows there are benevolent ones, its just that he's so used to fighting evil ghosts that its sometimes difficult to register a ghost as good or evil, hence he's prohibited from entering the House of Undead and Phasmata and Death and Postmortem.
• Speaking of, Carol Anne doesn't seem to be fazed by Batman. If anything, the Dark Knight happens to be rather popular with children despite his grim and terrifying nature and appearance. Carol Anne seems to chuckle and appear playful whenever Batman is around. He tries to be as interactive with her as possible, which looks difficult as despite being a father of five, Batman isn't much of an expert as a father. That said, Batman has made it clear he'll protect Carol Anne and kids in general as much as he could.
• Hearing of Carol Anne's incident and her breakdown, Erma Williams decided to take a visit. After taking tome notes and advice from Luigi, Miku and Danny, Erma introduced herself to Carol Anne and told her that she'll do her best to look after her. She even decided to buy a television set for Carol Anne to use for wide-distance communication. On one such instance, Carol Anne managed to communicate with Erma with said television, with Erma taking to playing around and pulling harmless pranks at unsuspecting people, eliciting small giggles for Carol Anne. Since then, the two have become good friends.
  • On the flipside, now that Carol Anne is friends with Erma, a lot of residents are beginning to doubt if they're willing to antagonize her, lest they incur Erma's wrath. So far, Erma's presence has greatly helped in getting Carol Anne adjusted to the Pantheon. Also joining alongside is Ichigo Kurosaki, who with his own experiences of ghosts, is willing to look after and defend Carol Anne when he's called for.
• Thanks to her ability to see ghosts on television sets, Carol Anne is also able to visibly notice Stands on said platforms as well, though she can't see them in real life. This caught the attention of Jotaro Kujo and Joseph Joestar who took to investigating her. Unfortunately, Yoshikage Kira didn't take this news well, considering how focused he is to maintain a "normal life", and paired up with his father Yoshihiro to kill Carol Anne due to being able to see stands, despite not being a stand user herself. Fortunately, Kira and his father reached a stalemate against the Morioh Party and retreated. Since then, Jotaro and Joseph have asserted to the Speedwagon Foundation in looking after Carol Anne, who herself finds them and the Morioh Party to be of enjoyable company. They'd especially wouldn't want Dio Brando to get involved in this.
• Given her experience with ghosts, its hard not to pity her. It gets worse when her real-life representative suddenly passed away at age 12. Many of Carol Anne's friends and those who are generally concerned with her are aware of this fact and think its best to not bring it up towards her, thinking she's already been through enough.
• She is most scared of Kayako Saeki and Sadako Yamamura as they are utterly ruthless and crazed in their general demeanor and do not take kindly to the presence of others around them. At the same time, she does feel bad for them, given how they were driven into such malevolence and hopes that she could try to reason with them. Carol Anne knows however that approaching them is impossible and that its best to leave them to themselves, though even with their voracious nature, Carol Anne thinks they're not as depraved as someone like Henry Kane.
• Because of her purity and innocence, Carol Anne is being sought after by numerous deities other than just ghosts. Some believe she may be able to represent a brighter side of morality and somehow unite a lot of factions together. Others want to use this innocence to their advantage and believe that Carol Anne's age means she still too naive in many other subjects. The Court of the Gods has decided to simply shut this off, stating that what Carol Anne needs the most is support and aid, given what she had to deal with at the age of 5. While most have agreed, some optimists still cling onto stating she should be represented for her purity whereas those morally bankrupt will stop at nothing to exploit her in some way.

Hello? What do you look like? Talk louder, I can't hear you! Hey, hello! Hello, I can't hear you! Five. Yes. Yes. I don't know. I don't know.

Charles John Huffam Dickens, God of Opinionated Writing

• Uncertain on: Rod
• A number of writers have become synonymous with Victorian Britain, and Charles John Huffam Dickens is one of them. In his youth he left school to work in a factory while his father did time in a debtor's prison. His literary success began in 1836 with The Pickwick Papers, and over his life created many iconic stories and characters. In the running for one of the greatest writers in the Victorian Era(though he started briefly before), many hit home with the troubles at the time.
• Many of his stories are opinionated, serving as social commentary and often includes criticism of the time. This was rather personal for him as he personally experienced the hellish conditions of the industry and grappled with poverty. Given how bad some of the conditions were back then, pointing it out was for the better. Dickens spends time at the House of Commerce ensuring the factories there treat their employees right, or helping out the House of Childhood and Adolescence by campaigning for children's rights.
• His views on Rod are somewhat confused. He can completely understand the need to be Anvilicious given his own writing, and he'd be a hypocrite to say it's bad writing. However Birdemic does it badly, and he doesn't like it. However Rod's story is a goldmine of unintended hilarity which he's come to enjoy
• He has a deep contempt for the Corrupt Corporate Executive and evil businesses, naturally opposing Mr Burns, Looten Plunder, the Corpus and Morris. However he does seem to look on Scrooge McDuck favorably, since he's a Honest Corporate Executive who earned his riches through hard work from little, much like Dickens himself rose to fame from humble circumstances.
• His stance on the Sliding Scale of Idealism Versus Cynicism varies depending on the story, but often settles on the idealistic side. He's a big believer of having to Earn Your Happy Ending. The Love That Moves The Stars is intrigued and supports Charles Dickens for characters like Oliver Twist getting his happy ending and characters like Ebeneezer Scrooge becoming better people. Dickens seems to approve of Lazlo for being a representative of Earn Your Happy Ending
• A Christmas Carol may be his most famous work, and it is by far his most adapted. He is very happy to see that even almost a century and a half after his death it is still seen as timeless. Nicholas St North congratulated him for it. The Grinch seems to like Charles Dickens as the story of Ebeneezer Scrooge is something he can relate to. Each Christmas, Charles Dickens goes to the House of Celebration to give a reading of A Christmas Carol for children in need.
• Often associated with Christmas, he was horrified to learn of Robot Santa Claus. What was meant to be an icon of X-Mas joy is instead an insane Knight Templar who has made December 25 a nightmare in the 31st century. Also he treats his elf workers in his factory horribly, which pisses him off something fierce. He was disturbed to learn about Jack the Ripper, the Serial Killer that emerged 18 years after his death.
• The Doctor met Charles Dickens in his 9th incarnation along with Rose Tyler, on Christmas Eve 1869. There they encountered the Gelth, ghost-like aliens who tried to take over the dead and kill the rest of the population for bodies. He planned to use it as the base of "The Mystery of Edwin Drood", but died before he could. Upon his ascension to the pantheon the Doctor and Rose helped him try and finish it. He is happy to learn it got a musical adaptation with multiple endings chosen by the audience.
• Initially a skeptic, meeting the Doctor and especially entering the pantheon led him to realize the existence of some paranormal activity. His experience with the Gelth and the Christmas Ghosts has made him interested in the activities in the House of Ghosts. He was pleased to learn from the Doctor that his stories would be remembered forever. The Doctor has introduced him to Vincent Van Gogh, and Charles Dickens immediately sympathized him for his life and the fact he never achieved fame during his life, unlike Dickens.
• Has a lot of respect and fondness for kids in the pantheon that are poor, and managed to rise to greatness. He is fond of Ochako Uraraka, and thinks it's amazing that Charlie Bucket's virtue led him from poverty to heir of multi-millionaire Willy Wonka, living a kid's dream.

• The American Revolution was known as a grand historical event marking the independence of the American colonies from the British Empire. In spite of the odds being against the revolutionaries, the Americans managed to endure and eventually overcome British enforcement and military until eventually gaining the decisive victories to finally earn freedom from the British. While the Americans at the time were more than proud of what they earned from defeating the British army, their revolution wasn't exactly spotless or devoid of an ugly side, with some people having their own just reasons to oppose the American Revolution. In one particular timeline, it would be up to the work of the journalists of the Pennsylvania Gazette to cover the events of the American Revolution, from the struggles the Americans took to overcome their enemies' numbers, and the experiences of the citizens living through such an uncertain time, whether Revolutionary or Loyalist.
• While the likes of all of them had lived through the American Revolution and experienced the beginning of a new nation, it was relatively uncertain how they would live their lives after America had started making its own new laws and beginning to act with newfound independence. For this occasion, however, circumstances ended up causing them all to have their fates entwine once again in a place that was very much not America. Highly confused at their new destination, they were even more befuzzled at their new designation as "gods". Learning that they were chosen to be part of the Pantheon for a "trope" they were suitable for, mainly for seeing toward the struggles of both allies and enemies alike, they were all much too humble about their new position until understanding that their new roles only gave them special immortality and the ability to interact with people of many other worlds, even those of similar or different American histories, or of other countries and planets entirely. While unsure at first, the opportunity to see how America could branch out and expand from its independence, on top of many curiosities about their new world had them determined to take advantage of their position.
• The four of them were delightfully surprised at Benjamin Franklin's presence in the Pantheon, and for such a long time compared to them as well. Before trying to pester him with Benjamin's knowledge of the Pantheon, they wanted to know how the Pennsylvania Gazette was going in the Pantheon. After telling them all sorts of stories about what happened as America went on past the Revolutionary War, on top of interesting stories like what his other incarnations did or spookier tales like the Headless Horseman, apparently being a Hessian soldier in the Revolutionary War who lost his head from a cannonball, Franklin told them that while the Revolution was long over, perhaps there could be potential for making news of all the revolutions and fights for freedom in the Pantheon and the mortal realms around them. James and Sarah decided to take the opportunity to highlight the struggles, merits, and at times, mistakes, of those who seek liberty and freedom from higher powers. Henri decided to go along with them to explore the Pantheon, and Moses, while having his own plans in the Pantheon, decided that he could afford some time to help them out.
• Trying to get used to the new standards of journalism in the Pantheon, they decided to look for notable journalists to take notes from. They've met with Lois Lane, one of the most well-known reporters and journalists out there, while trying to learn about Superman, a devout representative of American liberty and justice and learned much from her. They've also been acquainted with the likes of April O'Neil and Jade, both also getting into dangerous situations for a good scoop and story, as well as Tintin, though his status as a reporter may seem to be an excuse to travel the world a lot. As for the French-speaking Henri, he doesn't mind that about him at all, not to mention that Tintin has little problem speaking with Henri, with Tintin being Belgian as a bonus. While intimidated by the sheer scale and threat of the places they've went through, not that the four people from the Revolutionary War were unfamiliar with danger, they've found new reasons to keep at the job when they feel like it. James and Sarah particularly want to make stories of how revolutions and rebellions go out in the Pantheon, whether under territory occupied by other gods or even among the other deities themselves, and Henri is happy to go along for the sights.
• It was no surprise that the members of the Pennsylvania Gazette were happy to see George Washington in the Pantheon, and trying his best to fit in with the newer civil rights, considered how they did have issues with his treatment of Native Americans and black slaves back then, and do note how Washington did provide for a good example for a president back then. They also met an unfamiliar face who was also from the era of the Revolutionary War, known as Ratonhnhaké:ton, or Connor. According to him, in his own America, he was a revolutionary and Assassin who worked alongside the other Founding Fathers, and did managed to earn the respect of some of them as well, which was why Washington was able to introduce the Gazette members to Connor. More interestingly, the America he helped to achieve independence was also conspired against by an organization known as the Templars, who were aiming for keeping America a colony for the sake of imposing their ideals of order. It's gotten both James and Sarah curious of whether people similar to the Templars were trying to influence the sides, even though they aren't too familiar with the feud of Assassins and Templars.
• The four deities gained a lot of interest in the USA's Civil War, since one of the major causes of the war was about the abolition of African-American slavery, which ended in the Union's favor and would become a major stepping point for racial equality in America, even if the struggle for said equality still continued on, as people like Tom Robinson can speak about it, whom they pity for still suffering undeserved judgment, and have worked with Atticus Finch to know how to handle similar situations better. Moses in particular was happy to see America make such progress, even though it had a tragic cost of so many lives to have the African-American slaves be able to experience real liberty and freedom. As expected, neither Moses nor the rest of the groups have any positive sentiments toward the likes of Calvin Candie and Stephen and similar slavers, especially not Henri either given his time as an indentured servant. They've also been supportive of other African-American deities who had to live with harsh racial discrimination, whether before or after the Civil War, especially Sethe who suffered such a traumatic life as a slave that it pushed her to murder an infant daughter of hers in order to "protect" them from slavery. While they've squirmed at the thought of such a bloody murder, they'd like to be supportive of Sethe recovering from said events and to be helping out her relatives.
  • They also really admire both Abraham Lincoln and Ulysses Grant for what they've done to push for the Union victories that won the black Americans their deserved freedom, never mind the achievements of his more fantastical incarnations in other works. As for a dissenter who believed that the blacks didn't deserve such freedom, Colonel Benjamin Cameron, the members of the Pennsylvania Gazette have not much else but disgust for the white supremacist, let alone the Ku Klux Klan he's associated with. While James wants to give Cameron a piece of his mind, Moses said that it really isn't worth trying to change his mind, given that his men would endanger them if they poked at him too much, and that they're better off staying away from each other. Moses is still worried about the likes of the KKK otherwise, since Moses does want to practice teaching since his original plan before ascension was to build a school for other blacks like him to gain a good education, and is anxious about them getting in the way of his attempts to become a better teacher in the Pantheon.
• As for other presidents besides Washington, Lincoln, and Grant, they've had overall pleasant meetings with the likes of Theodore Roosevelt, James especially being interested in following his example. As for his distant cousin, Franklin Roosevelt, while they respect how he led America through another war, World War II specifically, looking into the events in detail led them to criticizing him for how he treated Japanese-Americans in Executive Order 9066, not letting such details get past them. They've also been concerned about how some presidents like Lincoln or John F. Kennedy were assassinated. After that, they've found info on other presidents to be more questionable. They know Nixon's Head isn't a real accurate representation of the Nixon back in American history, not that they'd know too much about the real deal anyway. As for the more fictional American presidents in the Pantheon, they're not happy with either Frank Underwood nor Funny Valentine for being more oppressive presidents that they think go against America's ideas, not that said presidents deem the Pennsylvania Gazette members to be any importance to their status and reputation.
• They've met many patriots of America that vary in opinions and approaches to defending America's identity as a symbol of freedom, some completely admirable like Steve Rogers aka Captain America, the type of person both James and Sarah can agree to be an ideal defender of the country and its values, and they respect the sheer bonds and strength the Broforce have. They despise the Enclave given that their regime in their opinion spits in the face of the American liberty they've seen revolutionaries fight for, as much as they pity the background they came from. Another disagreeable patriot of America they've heard about was Steven Armstrong, who found his America to be too corrupt to leave alone, wanting to uproot it entirely for the purpose of letting the strong get a chance at making a better system. While their opinions on him vary a bit, with James seeing where he's coming from but still disagreeing with his overall plan, and Sarah thinking that he's lost his sanity entirely, these people from the times of the Revolutionary War disapprove of Armstrong's ambitions. They also tried to speak with some soldier named Jane Doe but looking closely at his profile and "feats" made them decide to leave that guy alone despite his extreme patriotism.
  • They've also known some dissenters of the democracy America wanted to build up, if not of democracy in general. On one end was Lonnie Machin, also known as Anarky for his advocation of anarchy over democracy, claiming that democracy would only result in constricting corruption and problematic societal injustices that ostracize free-thinking minorities and independent parties. Sarah tends to be most vocal on disagreements with him knowing the kinds of savagery that revolutionaries without restraint can do, and seeing little benefit in anarchy itself. On the opposite end of Lawful to Chaotic spectrum was Judge Dredd, who comes from a rather bleak world where he patrols Mega City One, and finding democracy as inept at combating social issues due to how divisive democratic populations can be, and like Anarky, funnily enough, sees democracy as unable to handle corruption well, let alone crime. While James is intimidated by the man, he's more vocal on criticizing Judge Dredd's views on democracy, even if his crime-filled city gave him some justification for them.
• Given that Henri was adopted by Marquis de Lafayette back before they ascended, he and his friends decided to look into the history of France, and a topic they were at first interested in only to be horrified at later on was the French Revolution. While James thought they had the right idea with overthrowing the monarchy, the execution of the king and queen along with other associates, along with the Reign of Terror that followed, not even he had any desire to justify or excuse their unhinged pursuit of liberty. Sarah unsurprisingly squirmed at the idea of such a terrible raid happening to people like her, and Henri was terribly saddened by the cruelty that Marquis de Lafayette had to go through as a result, though glad that he and his wife and son survived the aftermath. Despite that, Henri's rather shaken about the idea of going through all of that madness with Lafayette, and the others are determined to not let such violent revolutions like that take place if they're able to help it. They've given much sympathy to Marie Antoinette due to her being a victim of the French Revolution, seeing past the bad reputation the French citizens at the time gave her (not that they're fond of the incarnations of that they are as bad as they claim), and finding her fate undeserved. More surprisingly, they met another member of the Assassin Order who was involved in the French Revolution, Arno Dorian, whose adoptive father was not only a Grand-Master of the Templar Order, but was killed by an usurping Templar Order member that brought about the worst parts of the French Revolution in his world, something that boggles minds like Henri's especially when thinking about the Templar Order's opposition to the American Revolution in comparison.
• Noting all of the different counterparts of the USA in the Pantheon, the members of the Pennsylvania Gazette often speculate if their America will be something like the America known by "real-life history", which is considered the most plausible occurence, they also carry on some of their own expectations. James for one would be interested in America that stands up for its own and other similar countries' freedom, Sarah mainly hopes that their America would focus on improving its own standards, rights, and diplomacy, and Henri was excited of the idea of the country having their own ninja turtles, of all things. On a similar note, learning of Hetalia's America in the Pantheon led to initial scoffing at a man that supposedly represented stereotypes of the USA. Then the three of them starting arguing on their interpretation of what a "personification" of America would be, with Moses staying out of the discussion but letting their squabble continue out of mild amusement.
• Some of James, Sarah, Henri, and Moses' more wild experiences in the Pantheon have been pursuing the thefts of Carmen Sandiego. While Carmen Sandiego is from a future era relative to them, Carmen Sandiego is infamous for using time travel to go back and steal things from history, changing it in the process. She's done this to America, messing with the Revolutionary War's history, which resulted in a timeline where America was made to remain a colony to Britain. The members of the Pennsylvania Gazette decided to join in on the pursuit of Carmen Sandiego for this reason, not that Carmen is concerned about them trying to play in her game. In fact, she's rather interested in the idea of people of an older era of time pursuing her and going through not only different cultures unfamiliar to them, but different time periods as well.
• Their encounters with Carmen Sandiego got the four deities to look into alternate timelines where America Is Still a Colony. Overall, they don't seem too fond of them given that nothing notably positive came out of those from what they've observed, as if to affirm the idea that America was better off independent. Even Sarah is of conflicting opinions and unsure doubts about those timelines, but disappointed to not be able to look more deeply into them. One of their more interesting observations, however, was with Britannia, where America lost the Revolutionary War because of Benjamin Franklin defecting, and Britain losing its presence in Europe to Napoleon, resulting in the British Empire being centered in North America. While they don't look highly upon the nation's cruel ruler, Charles zi Britannia, they're not sure what to think about Lelouch vi Britannia, who was responsible for liberating Britannia from Charles. While they understand if not approve of the cause of Lelouch's rebellions, the drastic and extreme measures he took to dismantle the monarchy, and all of the violent atrocities all around make him and Britannia a controversial subject among the group.
• Native Americans were involved in the war, if mainly on the British side since safety with the British was more assured than with the colonist Americans, and their experiences with said Native American tribes only affirmed this for them. Sarah especially was distressed at how Shawnee chief Cornstalk and his son were unjustly executed by patriots to the point where she left the rest of her friends back to England for a while. In the Pantheon, her sentiments towards injustice towards Native Americans haven't changed, and if anything, she's left depressed by how Native Americans were treated poorly by colonists long after the Revolutionary War. The others do share in her sympathy, and they've been staunch allies of other Native Americans in the Pantheon, especially Pocahontas, and likewise, against those who would oppress them or think little of them, as Governor Ratcliffe had.

After a long time served as Bulk and Skull high priests, the Pantheon discovered the sequel that starred the two of them and the two are granted their own temple thanks to the popularity of said sequel.
• The two of them turned on Hamlet because of his action that killed them and many more people that don't have anything to do with his father's murder.
  • On the other hand, they feel sorry for Ophelia because of the way Hamlet treats her and sometimes can be seen helping her running her temple. Of course, they don't brought up the time they tried to kill Hamlet to marry her.
• Meet and get along well with Timon and Pumbaa given that they are the two's equivalent in their work. Especially given that the two animals have a sequel that follows their temple's power.
  • From Timon and Pumbaa, the two discover a great ally in Simba, who is a Lighter and Softer version of Hamlet and has been in contact with the lion ever since, even sometimes go to his father Mufasa's (who is pleased that his son has made new friends) temple in remembrance.
  • Of course, being allies with Simba means that they hate Scar with a passion for his resemblance to Claudius.
• Being in a meta-fiction sequel with the power to Breaking the Fourth Wall, Deadpool decided to pay them a visit. While the two sides come to sympathize with others' situation, Rosencrantz and Guildenstern, like most people, are annoyed with Deadpool.
• Bulk and Skull were proud to have their former followers in the Pantheon, although they are saddened that they ended up dead by Hamlet's hand. Ros and Guil are quite amazed that Bulk and Skull eventually became heroes in the own right and were able to live comfortable lives after Angel Grove's Last Stand.
• Caesar tries to avoid their temple as much as he can due to the fact that both of them looks like two of his or his counterpart's enemies.
• Guildenstern sometimes share a laugh with the Doctor because of how similar he sounds like the Doctor when the latter is on Robot Chicken.
  • On the other hand, given the Hulk found his voice to trigger angry memories, Guildenstern also been warned to avoid the Green Giant. Jules Winnfield has also been noted to give angry looks at his presence.
• Rosencrantz has provoked... interesting reaction from the ascended cast of Harry Potter when they found out that he looks like one of the more prolific figure of the wizarding world Sirius Black.
  • He is on good grace with Batman because of how similar he looks to Commissioner Gordon and the Bat can sometime be seen around his temple trying to get a break from the vigilante business.
  • On the other hand, hates the fact that he looks like a version of Dracula and that sometimes cost him to be chased by vampire hunters. He also earns angry looks from Mathilda and Leon for resembling the cop who killed her family.

The Scorpion and the Tarantula

The Scorpion and The Tarantula, Avatars of Animal POV

• A odd pair of gods, the two of them are just a regular scorpion and a tarantula. A scorpion and a tarantula who are rather bloodthirsty, as they will try to kill any creature of their size they come across, but still. And yet against all odds, they are main characters to a video game.
• Their "temple" are more like small shrines than real temples. The shrine is also empty most of the time, as two of them are more concern on hunting food. Doesn't help that they are hostile forwards eachother.
• Some gods believe that the Scorpion is reincarnation of either Hanzo Hasashi/Scorpion or Kratos. And honestly, no one can't really blame them.
  • On a similar note, some believe that Tarantula is the reincarnation of Spider-Man.
• One time Ashley Williams tried to use his shotgun to get rid of the Scorpion. Not only did he survive a shotgun blast, he then proceed to stab Ash where it hurts.
• The Scorpion has bit of a connection with Crixalis and Drapion. Mainly because he doesn't have intent to attack anything way larger than himself.
• The Tarantula is sort of allies with Arachne, but due of how competitive she can be, she ends up trying to eat most of her other children. On other hand, she seems to grown custom to Ato-ko, even if she admits she is more of a black widow than a tarantula.
• Probably the only deities what can make the Villager actually scared, being specimens of one of few hostile creatures from their world. Where they have captured the two before, they have had to let them go.
• The two of them are rather common treat to the Pikmin, even if the two of them are carnivores. While the two of them have problems with some of the Pikmin, they do serve as a big treat to them. This also extends to Sukuna.
  • However, even they think that Durant are too tough for them to handle, even if they are on the similar size class. As such, all of them will make a truce when it comes to Durant.
• The two of them have fought against Master Viper and Master Mantis in the past, as neither of them like snakes and mantises (especially Tarantula with snakes). Even though the two of them are qualified as "Quasideities", the two arachnids have managed to keep the two kung-fu masters in the ropes.
• Aside of insects, other arachnids and small lizards, they also commonly attack rats, which makes them at odds with Remy and Ratigan.

• Shizuku Tsukishima arrived in the Pantheon after a copy of her novel Whisper Of The Heart was discovered in the Infinite Library. After giving it a read and doing some research, she decided to bring the young author up for an interview. During the interview, she discovered that Shizuku wrote the novel at the expense of her grades, whilst isolating herself and getting into arguments with her family. The young writer admitted that it was a bad time but she has since learned from her mistakes. With that, the Court of the Gods decided she was good enough for the Pantheon... on the condition she study at the Elysium Academy.
  • It worked out though, as Shizuku soon joined the academy's literature club, where she made friends with Michelle Cheung, Maggie Mui, and Komachi Akimoto. Whilst all three have left the Pantheon since then, she still feels comfortable there.
• She is fascinated by the other Ghibli deities and their stories, going so far as to draw inspiration for her own work. The others don't seem to mind, and have become friends with Shizuku as a result. The only exception are the Tanuki of Tama Hill, who are wary of the young writer due to her home being built on top of their home.
• Following her ascension, Shizuku discovered that a variety of high-profile authors were also present in the Pantheon, all with their unique styles and techniques, which made the young writer incredibly excited. More often than not she's seen getting lessons from Sir Terry Pratchett, of who is a specialist in the fantasy genre. She's also fascinated by the techniques implemented by the likes of Alfred Hitchcock and Charles Dickens. Basically, The Pantheon is everything Shizuku could ask for.
• Gets along well with Harriet Welsch, both being aspiring writers and writing down their ideas into notebooks. However, Harriet is still vary secretive about the contents in her journal, which makes Shizuku suspicious. But both have pitched in to help another writer, Barton Fink, overcome his writer's block by presenting him with prompts and suggestions to improve on his story.
• Will often go to the House of Theatre and Spectacle to watch the works of William Shakespeare. After stopping by for a few shows, the Bard of Avon took notice, and offered Shizuku the chance to play a small role in the House's production of A Midsummer Night's Dream. It was basically how she met Jack and Annie, who were friends of Shakespeare. The pair have welcomed her to the Magic Treehouse, allowing Shizuku to travel to the worlds of her books. Some claim that the young girl shed Tears of Joy after her first journey.
• It was through Jack and Annie that Shizuku befriended Belle and the Beast, who often lend out books for her to read and study during her down time. Belle was happy to meet another writer in the Pantheon, but was also quick to scold Shizuku about letting her work get to her head. After things were cleared up, the Princess of Heart offered to help with the Academy's study, effectively becoming Shizuku's aide. The girl doesn't seem to mind; Belle is often the first person she goes to for help... or to tell Gaston to piss off.
  • Thanks to Belle, Shizuku became friends with two other Disney Princesses; Rapunzel and Anna, both of whom have incredible imaginations and were excited to read Whisper of the Heart when they found it.
  • While not a Disney Princess, Milo Thatch has shared some of his research of Atlantis with the young writer, further fuelling her creative mind and expanding her horizons.
• When it comes to cats, Shizuku gets along with pretty much all of them. Whether it be the small felines like Garfield, Firestar or Sylvester, or the big cats like Simba and Bagheera, she likes them all, mostly due to cats playing a big role in her original story. In fact that's how she met Sakaki. That said, she has trouble getting along with Salem, due to his sarcastic nature and criticisms of her work.
  • Scar, on the other hand, once tried to attack her, making him one of the only felines in the Pantheon the young writer opposes.
• Back in her school days Shizuku wrote a cover of “Country Roads” entitled “Concrete Roads”. She has been hesitant to share it, out of fear someone will make fun of the lyrics… at least until the Trollkaiger found the song and sang it aloud for all the Pantheon to hear. To say Shizuku was furious would be an Understatement. She was later seen storming through the streets muttering to herself.
  Shizuku: Stupid jerks! Stupid jerks! Stupid jerks!
• Gets along with both Anne Shirley and Amelie Poulain, with all three sharing their own stories and expressing how they see the world. From time to time, Shizuku will write short pieces based upon what she's heard and gives them back as gifts.
• Has been seen in the Infinite Library taking out books for reading, often borrowing them to read in her own temple. She's made sure to return everything on time.
• Shizuku has very few enemies, but there are two in the Pantheon who she cannot stand. The first, Herr D.D. Drosselmeyer, she greatly distrusts, due to him being an evil author who barely considered the feelings of his characters (not to mention Rewriting Reality). The other god she stays away from is Mr. Scratch, who once tried luring her away from her temple. Luckily, Alan Wake warned Shizuku about his evil doppelgänger, so she ran the other way and didn't look back.
• While she gets along and idolizes the Pantheon's many authors and writers, George R.R. Martin legitimately terrifies her, due to the sheer brutality he has for his characters. She also is wary of Annie Wilkes, due to being an absolutely unhinged, Axe-Crazy and overall deranged fan. Can't say the same for Wilikes's creator Stephen King; Shizuku respects him.
• She's offered to help Jiminy Cricket keep his journal updated with every new arrival in the Pantheon. The small chronicler appreciated the offer but he's got things taken care of. That said, he has stopped by her temple every so often to make sure she hasn't been straying from her studies.
• Shizuku was surprised to discover that her story was later refined and remade into a new novel, entitled The Cat Returns. While the changes to the story were unexpected, she was still pleased with the final product and was glad to see the Baron still in the film.
• Her tendency to tune out the world by listening to light music on her headphones as she writes has become a popular image. When Studio Ghibli objected to others exploiting this by using her writing time as a backdrop to their easy listening soundtracks, it only inspired another, unnamed girl to step forward and share her own study time with the world. This one has since become much more famous, but Shizuku is credited as the writer who started it all.
  • Since being recognized as the original Lofi Girl, Shizuku has gotten more attention at the library. Most are respectful, acknowledging her with a nod before going on their way. Still, there are those who've tried messing with her about this. Usually bringing Seiji with her is enough to warn them off, for cases like the Ashleys, per se, but if he's not there or it's someone with powers such as Bernkastel, she tends to hurry to find what she's looking for and get to the counter quickly to get them to leave her alone.
  • The Elysium Academy Literature Club has taken note of her status, though she nips it in the bud by refusing to accept any special treatmnt.
