The House of Weapons. Better known to some as "The Pantheon's Largest Armory."

Created in the wake of the ever-growing population of weapon-based War Gods (including several ones), the House of Weapons is one to be feared. Nearly every wall is lined with swords, axes, boomerangs, and anything that wouldn't make any sense in the real world, but exists solely because of the Rule of Cool.

The house itself is fairly accessible and looks more like a series of sturdy barracks built around a central square than anything else, surrounded with large sparring grounds, multiple target lines, forests of millenary trees and other kinds of training areas used for testing and honing one's mastery.

A huge forge has been built at the center of all the Halls, with direct access to the House of Craft whose blacksmiths come to mould and repair the weapons, along with specialized woodworkers.

The House is guarded by the Three Weaponmasters whose rules are quite cut-and-dry: sparring and testing only. Breaking this rule may lead to the guilty Hall's resources be cut for a while.

Due to the growing number of deities in this House, the Gods have decided to split it into the following Halls:

Enemies: Many Final Fantasy villains, especially Sephiroth
Only those with the largest of swords are worthy of entering his service. Guts left Cloud's service soon after the Eclipse went down and has declared war on demonkind.
Lord Chaos' Garland persona contests Cloud's pre-eminence over swords.
Both Goemon Ishikawa and Elric of Melnibone have struggled to unseat Cloud for years, each for their own reasons, but neither skill nor doomed blades seem to be a match for the sheer power of a Big Freakin' Sword.
Has a friendly rivalry with Rakan, the other god of Swordsmanship. He's not entirely certain why the other guy's there, but the sparing matches are both too awesome and much too enjoyable to complain.
Apparently, there are many, many (dashing) swordmasters aiming for his title. Fortunately for Cloud, most of them are too busy to fight him. Allen Schezar never showed up for their duel (he was last seen heading for a hotel with one of Cloud's high priestesses), Van Fanel forfeited the match and dashed off yelling that he had to "save her" (whatever that means), Link was reincarnated before their duel could start, and Samurai Jack was whisked away by a time portal five seconds into the battle. So� yeah, he hasn't really worked to keep his title so far.
He was nearly being grounded from his home thanks to a certain Bernie Stolar thinking that his game was not going to sell because of his so-called "superior" policy of "Anti-JRPG". Cloud was eventually given the chance, kicks ass (sorta, it's complicated), and proves that he's able to soar high in popularity.
- Although, after hearing that Stolar took refuge in Saturn and messed up the Magic Knight Rayearth RPG afterwards, Cloud took pity on Hikaru, Umi and Fuu (all three fellow sword users), and treated them with a meal for consolidation.
Was chosen by Captain Martin Walker along with Captain America and Setsuna F. Seiei for the elite force due to his skill and relatability to Walker.
Don't ask him to mow the lawn. Just� don't.
Has been in a very good mood recently, some people know why.
Recently footage has been found of Cloud trying to be badass and failing miserably. So far, Cloud has not commented.
- Cloud also is unamused if someone uses the word "Thunderhead" within earshot. According to him, it brings up very bad memories.
After breaking a Smash Ball and getting a Final Smash, Cloud was discovered by Master Hand to participate in his fourth tournament. No one expected it.
- Many people questioned why Cloud never showed up in the Battle Royale, yet somehow ended up in Master Hand's tournament. Cloud doesn't really know the answer to that himself.
Is said to have trained Yurnero, the Juggernaut of the Isles of Mask, bequeathing the secrets of his most deadly technique: The Omnislash.
Does anyone remember that one time Cloud, in a spirited mood, said "Let's mosey"? So... well, Cloud has gone for the record to say that unlike Sora's reports or that time during the Geostigma incident, he's not always a brooding Emo.
Has an fierce, but ultimately friendly rivalry with Link. The two have always scheduled for a battle with each other, but either one of them happened to be occupied during those moments. Wiz and Boomstick have theorized that Link would end up as the victor, but the two aren't too keen on a fight to the death. Now that Cloud joined Master Hand's tournament, the two have an open window for a fight. Wiz and Boomstick also recently re-analyzed the match-up and concluded that Cloud would win a no-holds barred battle to the death, mainly due to the fact that the previous one stuck him with his Dissidia loadout in terms of Materia; with his better ones at his disposal, he still trumps even all of the other abilities and tools Link has acquired since the first simulated bout.
Seems to find something in both Haseo and Asbel Lhant, due to something similar they possess aside from swordsmanship.
- In regards to the latter, he finds it odd that Asbel and Senel Coolidge seem to have something respectively in common with him and Zack...
- Does not take it very well in that Griffith has housed both Cloud's own voice alongside with Sephiroth's. He got a long better with Torin, though.
Thought he could get away from Sephiroth by entering the world of Smash. Unfortunately, he was shocked to find Sephiroth not only having sliced Galeem in half, unleashing a warpath against other gods in the Smash tournament and impaled Mario with Masamune (turns out that the blade just caught one of Mario's overall straps) but Sephiroth then revealed that Master Hand gave him an invitation to the tournament. Cloud immediately went on a rampage to fight his Arch-Enemy.

Jackie Chan

Jackie Chan, God of Improvised Weaponry (Chan Kong-sang, Chan Jackie Chan, Chance Jackson, Yin/Light Jackie (Pussycat), Yang/Dark Jackie (Tiger))

^{Click to see his cartoon avatar}

Lesser God (Intermediate God if given one of the Talismans)
Symbol: His face or the Jackie Chan Adventures logo.
Theme Music:
- Real-life avatar:Drunken Gods
- Animated version: Jackie Chan Adventures and Chan's the Man
Alignment: Neutral Good, normally. If he's split apart by the Tiger Talisman then Yin side is Neutral Good and Yang side is Chaotic Neutral
Weapon of Choice: Whatever is around him.
Portfolio: Martial Arts Movie, Improvised Weapons, Hong Kong, Slapstick, Crossdressing, Losing Until He Wins, Badass Normal
- Animated version only: Adventure Archaeologist, usually borrows something from the civilians, Martial Pacifist, "Bad day, bad day, bad day!", having a tendency to be split into his yin and yang halves.
  - Yin-Jackie: Helpless Good Side, known to start crying at the drop of a hat, Cowardly Lion, apologizing for minor inconveniences, should not piss off just because he's the nicer half
  - Yang-Jackie: Arrogant Kung-Fu Guy, Jerk with a Heart of Gold, represents Jackie's arrogance and selfish attitude, snarky, Knuckle Cracking.
Domains: War, Luck, Improv, Adventure, Martial Arts
Allies: Doctor Wong Fei-Hung, Bruce Lee, Chuck Norris, Kevin McCallister, Jade and Tohru (Jade being his niece), Uncle Chan (his...Uncle)
Jackie Chan is one of China's most well-renowned martial artists with a peculiar knack of using anything on hand as a weapon. This skill alone makes him absolutely unpredictable in the slightest. There is also an animated version of him who is an Adventurer Archaeologist who gets entangled in fights against kung-fu magic, criminal warlords and demons. On any day, Jackie is able to switch between these two avatars but make no mistake that trying to fight either of them is going to end up with someone having a bad day.
Chan, like Despair of the Endless, is always having a "bad day".
Appeared outside the House of Weapons shouting "JAAADDDEE!" which the gods initially thought meant an immortality potion. Turned out it was his niece who had somehow ascended into the Pantheon alongside Tohru He slightly calmed down when he learned that the two were in the Friendship House, though... then, he found out how Uncle got into the Pantheon...
Sometimes is shown doing archeology work. When this happens he's prone to taking something from the gods, saying, "I'm sorry, I'll bring this back! Thank you!"
A common agreement among the gods is that if Jackie can pick it up (it being anything you can think of), he can, and will�should the need arise�kick your ass with it.
Has a friendly rivalry with Kevin McCallister, and regularly challenges to defeat his improvised and fiendishly rigged booby traps. So far, the conflict has consistently been fought to a draw.
Despite his stance of using anything as a weapon, even he is amazed at how Deadpool can whack people to death with the HUD.
Has a fear of needles (both animated and real life form) so usually tries to stay away from the House of Medicine and Disease.
If somehow Jackie is given the Tiger Talisman, he's split into two versions of himself: Yin Jackie and Yang Jackie. Yin Jackie is a complete pacifist and cry baby, Yang Jackie is a gruff delinquent. Thankfully this only affects the animated version and both of them are still Jackie Chan and are capable of working together to kick ass.

Vash the Stampede

Vash the Stampede, God of Impeccably Accurate Marksmanship (The Humanoid Typhoon, The $$60,000,000,000 Man, "Valentinez Alkalinella Xifax Sicidabohertz Gumbigobella Blue Stradivari Talentrent Pierre Andry Charton-Haymoss Ivanovici Baldeus George Doitzel Kaiser III")

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/trigun_Vash_Wolfwood_018.jpg

Intermediate God
Symbol: A Silver Revolver crossing his glasses over a red bullet-shaped field.
Theme Music: H.T.
Alignment: Chaotic Good
Portfolio: Improbable Marksmanship, Obfuscating Stupidity, Walking the Earth, Technical Pacifism, Red-Wearing Men
Domains: Peace, Travel, Gunslinging, Destruction (although Vash has this as one of his domains, it is frowned upon), Trickery
Followers: Train Heartnet, Kirika Yuumura, Irvine Kinneas, Captain Piper Faraday and crew, any protagonist in a John Woo movie...ever.
Heralds: Meryl Stryfe and Milly Thompson.
Rivals: Lucky Luke
Allies: Rushuna Tendou, Lockon Stratos, Madlax, Clint Barton/Hawkeye, Haruto Sohma, Yuna, Switzerland, SCP-516, Guts
The other gods were impressed with his skills after watching him shoot both wings off a fly... at 100 meters... with a single bullet... from a revolver. Vash immediately felt bad for the fly and got Lenneth to restore it.
Within the space of a few seconds during a friendly challenge, Rushuna could have blasted the gun out of his hand three times, while he groped her five times. She didn't mind.
Status for God of Marksmanship was briefly contested by Revolver Ocelot, though Ocelot eventually conceded the match, having gotten a better offer elsewhere.
He gets well along with Haruto Sohma of the Toku Base as they share their appetite for donuts in the House of Food.
Ever since Lucky Luke's ascension, Vash has found himself a rival in Lucky Luke's physics-defying trick-shots. While he retains the godhood for marksmanship, he has ceded that Luke's faster on the draw.
His (false) full name is stupidly long.
Vash is often at odds with various swordsmen such as Guts, Zoro and Haohmaru due to his high position in the Pantheon and the fact that most of them consider swordsmanship superior to marksmanship. Thus, he is often challenged to prove that his position is well-earned, which Vash doesn't mind as it's a good workout.
