• Tolerated by: The Grand United Alliance of Law (barely)
• The world the Blessed Regent hails from is a bleak one, but marked with paths that could turn it to the light. This is not one of them. The Soviet Union had been shattered after Operation Barbarossa and again after the West Russian War. Taboritsky, a Russian emigre living in Berlin, was the one-time assassin of Vladimir Nabokov's father and faked a Russian German noble ancestry to join the NSDAP. He was originally affiliated with Vladimir II’s invasion during the West Russian War, but since dismissed his claim as that of a imposter and left Vladimir’s fiefdom for the Komi Republic, a Disaster Democracy that turned into a haven for extremists at all ends of the political spectrum. A fringe monarchist in the far-right Passionaryy Organization, Taboritsky believes that Alexei Romanov is still alive despite being dead for nearly fifty years. After somehow maneuvering his way into control of Komi and reunifying West Russia, he unveiled his true intentions: he would create a Holy and Pure Russia in order for the Tsarevich to return. To do so, he models his government on an extremist faction of the Nazis and conquers the rest of the country with terrible purges and poison gas. What’s left of his mental state continues to crumble as the constant massacres and total oppression still fail to bring the Tsarevich back. When the clocks hit midnight, Alexei seemingly appears to Taboritsky in his office, only to immediately disintegrate into a child’s skeleton. The Blessed Regent dies screaming and Russia collapses into a charnel house of death and extremism.
  • Other memories have seeped into the Regent's mind as a consequence of the many paths he could have taken. One where he disappeared into the woods on the way to the Aryan Brotherhood, one where he was voted out of the Passionaryy and left calmly composed, and one where he immolated himself in a chapel. The visions of every path ending in failure or death have shaken him, but he can't allow his resolve to falter.
  • Commentators and analysts in the Pantheon are simultaneously dreading and eagerly anticipating a rematch between Taboritsky's HRE and the Aryan Brotherhood. In some timelines the two warlord states never met, and even when they did their insane goals are fundamentally irreconcilable despite their ideological similarities. Taboritsky and Vagner are aware of each other's existence in the pantheon, and the authorities are gearing up for a massive spillover of violence potentially involving chemical weapons.
• One midnight in the Pantheon, the clocks striking twelve were punctuated by a set of discordant pianos and whistles. An opulent mansion, not that different from the more opulent temples, appeared on a vacant lot, with screaming heard inside. Out of an abundance of caution, an MTF from the SCP Foundation was dispatched to investigate, but were soon overtaken by a toxic gas that melted them into goop and began streaming out of the palace. The substance was identified as Taborite, a chemical agent similar to Nova-6, triggering alarm that such a potent weapon could fall into Nazi hands once more. With help from the GOC and other forces, the temple was sealed off from the main house, but with Taborite unable to be safely neutralized at the moment, the temple lay unbreached. No one has any idea what’s going on inside except for a looping radio broadcast:
  Remain calm.
  The Regent endures.
  Alexei lives.
  The Holy Russian Empire shall endure.
  There is much to be done.
• Despite the strict quarantine placed on Taboritsky's palace, propaganda extolling the Regent, the "Holy Russian Empire", and the promised Tsarevich, as well as various criminal activities determined to be in support of him, have been reported all over. Whoever dares follow him are still obscure and not much of a threat, confined mostly to Pantheon's underground political fringes, but efforts are ongoing to uncover what support base Taboritsky is building. What can be said is that he is a danger to every single Russian and should he get what he wants, Russia as a country and an idea will never recover. Even Artyom, who lives in a post-nuclear war Russia where he fights off the Red Line and the Fourth Reich, believes if the "Blessed Regent" takes control of the Metro he's in for an even worse fate
• Only Alexei is fit for the throne and the sight of another Romanov in the pantheon - Anastasia - was enough to send the regent into a rage. He is currently trying to find ways to kill her but ruled out all cooperation with Rasputin, considering him a demonic wizard who threatened the entire Romanov family and his blessed Alexei. Anastasia herself was only made aware of the Mad Regent when she was kidnapped and interrogated about her brother's whereabouts. Having been separated from the rest of the family and suffering from amnesia during the revolution, Anastasia could not provide any answers to the Regent's severe dissatisfaction. Luckily, she was rescued in time by Team Metal and is now under much stricter security.
• Taboritsky's ascension confused most Nazi deities in the pantheon, first him being a Russian member of the Nazi party, and the second being that he's secretly Jewish. While he shares most of their beliefs, they take offense with how his lunacy exaggerates if not outright parodies how destructive and doomed to failure their ideology is, and his methods were denounced as counter-productive and too excessive even for them. However, they can't disavow him as a pretender as he has the paperwork to prove his membership in the historical NSDAP, offering him more legitimacy than even Johann Schmidt, who disgusted by what he sees as a perversion of Nazi ideology. Steve Rogers naturally thinks Taboritsky is yet more proof about how inherently vile fascism and Nazism is.
• Deathshead is even more perplexed that the Nazi Germany of Taboritsky's timeline won World War II at all. The Reich conquered most of Europe, shattered the USSR, nuked Pearl Harbor, put a man on the moon, and even constructed Atlantropa (even the Wolfenstein world had to settle for a bridge) but then collapsed into economic depression and then civil war due to their own ineptitude. While willing to concede that they were able to do so without incredible leaps in technology, the sheer inefficiency of Taboritsky’s timeline’s fascists annoys him to no end, leading him to conclude that the only reason they could have succeeded was if they were put on training wheels through the war after which they were promptly removed.
• Imran Zahkhaev, Vladimir Makarov and Nikita Dragovich despise Taboritsky for what he had done to Russia as a card-carrying fascist and Nazi, even though their own use of WMDs barely makes them any better. They could at least say they did it out of patriotism, not a monarchist delusion. In response, Taboritsky denounced them as "Judeo-Bolshevik puppets" for their dedication to the Soviet Union. However he's more concerned about Georgy Zhukov, somehow still alive despite the West Russian Revolutionary Front being defeated in Taboritsky's bloody path to reunification. The People's Marshal himself leaned that his incarnation in Taboritsky's timeline is one of the leaders of the WRRF and one of the better unifiers of Russia. While pleased that he kept fighting the good fight, he could only hope that his counterpart succeeded in the timelines where Taboritsky never came to power given the multitude of other factions in the former USSR, good and bad. Zhukov has since recruited Dimitri Petrenko, Viktor Reznov and other Soviet soldiers to form an All-Russian resistance to oppose the mad regent like all other fascists.
• The God-Emperor of Mankind was disappointed to find the Regent basically acting like another one of his priests, with Taboritsky enacting policies declaring "suffer not the mutant". He took no pleasure in such acts of cruelty to keep humanity from falling to Chaos, but Taboritsky's empire performing similar acts out of a complete delusion to bring back a long-dead monarch sickens him. It certainly doesn't help that Taboritsky favors the insane tyranny the Imperium can and has devolved into; Taboritsky's standards are so high even dropping tools is a death sentence, and the House of Law and Justice has only seen his kind of zealousness exceeded by the Dark Judges; Judge Dredd proved just as appalled as the Emperor. Nurgle and Khorne, however, relish in the self-inflicted suffering by a man thinking he is serving God. Due to the small scale of Taboritsky's activities compared to other struggles in the Pantheon, none have been conclusively proven to have intervened.
• Given how absolutely insane he is, among the larger alliances it was more a question of "who, if anyone, would be stuck with him". The closest anyone has come to controlling Sergey Taboritsky is probably the GUAL, who manipulate his religious fervor into him thinking God, Alexei and the will of the Skein is talking to him. However he's treated as nothing but a mad dog who's destructive regime works as a deterrent at best, and more realistically so his madness isn't directed at them. The only member of the GUAL who actually likes Taboritsky is Lysandre, as he also believes in a mass purge and genocide to purify the world and preserve its beauty. Also while Lysandre isn't racist per-say, they're both highly elitist. However this only goes so far due to Taboritsky's sheer detachment from reality, as he's liable to consider Lysandre a friend and a subversive in one sitting.
• His discovery of alternate worlds and timelines was not good for his mental health, and he briefly fixated on finding a world where Alexei survived. He even personally broke into the Locations and Settings to acquire such means for himself and he found just what he was looking for: a portal gun used to travel to other dimensions. However, said device was owned by a certain Rick Sanchez who then proceeded to thoroughly kick his ass and dump him back in his temple. While enraged, Taboritsky felt it would be a waste of energy to go after him and issued a decree banning pickles. Anyone found in possession of them would be assumed to associated with Rick and undermining the HRE, thus punishable by execution. His limited resources to enforce that outside of his tiny zone of control led to it mostly being laughed at.
• For the love of every god, do not try to impersonate Alexei; you will fail miserably in trying to manipulate him. Sergey Taboritsky wishes to usher a chemical holocaust on the Hall of Disguises for making the idea of impersonating his precious Alexei even possible. He's interested in the Deadly Gas Caesar Clown has access to. Horrifyingly Caesar was crazy enough and so bereft of moral standards to sell poison gas and other weapons to the insane regent...just from a clear distance. Hexxus loved this as he's amused by the Polluted Wasteland Taboritsky is turning Russia into in an attempt to "purify" it. However it's important to remember Taboritsky is too irrational to consistently appease. For further proof, the man plans to tear through the House of Royalty to exterminate anyone who could remotely be considered a pretender to the Russian throne.
• Alexander Rovias considers Taboritsky an interesting subject with regards to his sanity meter, the clockworks. However, he wasn't that mentally stable to begin with and is understandably not that interested in conversation. The horrors of his regime match that of her most stressful experiences, but being made by humans, isn't enough to truly scare her. Because of his very fragile psyche, the Blessed Regent is easily baited by the Trollkaiger who like to take the piss out of him with memes such as calling him "funni clock man" and saying he invented loli due to his IRL self killing the father of Vladimir Nabokov, eventually leading him to write Lolita. He can't stand them pointing out he has a Jewish mother either. Eric Cartman initially thought he could use Taboritsky's hatred against Jews and as as his bio-father is ginger he's also Boomerang Bigot, but Taboritsky was too insane for him.
• Amazingly he might be the one mortal Zamasu feels sympathy for, if a purely vain sympathy; like him Sergey Taboritsky is a deranged Knight Templar who wants to see his world become beautiful, even when the way of doing so is so genocidal and xenophobic it's basically apocalyptic. Far saner/more moral gods do pity him even if they can't stand what he's done since it's clear that he's a very mentally damaged person who needs help...but given his position, trying to proscribe it to him is met with a gruesome death. It's said that Delirium watches over him, and Kefka understands him. The latter is more evil than insane and thinks what he's doing is hilarious, so take it with a grain of salt. The Blessed Regent naturally has no idea why people are making the comparisons.
• Could be considered a Foil to Big Brother and the Party; if the Holy Russian Party is how tyranny is self-destructive Oceania is how tyranny can forever sustain itself. In both cases it's still a hellish Dystopia, and INGSOC prides itself on being well aware of that fact when Taboritsky is FAR from self-aware. In fact the chaotic Holy Russian Empire is something they see as a potential pawn/enemy to further strengthen their hold on the Proles. Sergey just screamed at alleged "subversiveness" going "I AM NOT A JEW, I AM NOT A CAIN".
• The utter batshittery of Sergey Taboritsky has been compared to Aerys II Targaryen and Luca Blight. To everyone's relief Taboritsky's prior contempt for the House of Royalty and complete disconnect from reality prevents him from trying to strike a chord with them over their madness. Indeed, Taboritsky is so utterly insane even those like Annie Wilkes who are obsessively mad themselves are too afraid of him to try and bond. There was at least one god who made Taboritsky even partially resemble normal and halfway competent at leading, though: Konrad von Carstein. While people like to compare the two, Taboritsky regards him as a bloodlusted beast. As hypocritical as it sounds, he does have a point; because of how broken he is calling Taboritsky a monster is a bit unfair as his delusions prevent him from realizing what he's doing is wrong. Even if Carstein was sane, he would be no less a monster because he was always a genuinely horrid person and his madness doesn't impact that.
  • He considers the Crimson Court as perverted and degenerate. He's completely right, though not in his reasoning; Taboritsky may be a terrible ruler but assuming he was even aware of it, he'd pride himself on wanting to do the right thing. The Crimson Court are just a bunch of sociopathic hedonists who use their blue-blooded status as an excuse to be bastards.

• Following the Nazi victory in World War II, the Soviet Union shattered into dozens of different factions and successor states. Many warlords emerged to vie for power. The oblast of Kemerovo is ruled by Rurik II, a man who has crowned himself and declared to be the reincarnation of Rurik of Lagoda, who ruled the territories of Kievan Rus'. It is a populist monarchy which synthesizes the good parts of said old kingdom and the old Soviet Union. It is a good kingdom despite the leader clearly being delusional; he is in fact Nikolay Ivanovich Krylov, a major general of the Red Army in the main timeline was a Marshal of the Soviet Union from 1962 to his death ten years later.
• "Rurik II" ascended to the Trope Pantheon initially in protest to learning that the Aryan Brotherhood, perhaps the single worst faction of all of Russia, had been the first from his timeline to gain a position. The other contender for the worst faction, Sergey Taboritsky, was right on his tail, so the Tsar-esque warlord felt his world desperately needed its light seen amidst the darkness. What he didn't expect ascending to the Trope Pantheon is that the title of Napoleon Delusion was once held by a figure that was historical to even him: Joshua Norton, self-proclaimed US Emperor. He now only has the trope Crazy Sane since he didn't think he was another historical figure, and Norton felt Rurik's ascension was a definite plus. Despite their eccentricities, they are good and just men with Kemerovo being one of the few relatively happy factions in TNO's Russia.
• It's rumored that like Joshua Norton, Nikolay's belief in being Rurik reincarnated may have been influenced somehow by Dream. Being a Cosmic Entity of madness who was fond of Norton, Delirium was interested in seeing if that's the case. The Russian warlord has mentioned he wants to learn more about Dream due to all this. Fitting for someone who's faction uses the trappings of Slavic medieval history, he is also interested in Baba Yaga and Chernabog due to being figures of Slavic folklore. He's more interested in having fellow Russian deities join forces with him for the good of the country and to fulfill his dreams of unifying Russia under his banner. Both Soda Popinski and Piotr Rasputin have agreed to help him as they can see Napoleon Delusion aside, Nikolay is a good man.
• Shocked to discover that Anastasia, daughter of the late Tsar Nicholas II was alive. In Real Life, her supposed survival was sort of a Napoleon Delusion too: her imposter actually seemed to believe she was the real deal. As much as it is possible, the Anastasia in the Trope Pantheon is the real McCoy. Fearing Sergey Taboritsky's psychotic conspiracy theories and delusions would put her in serious harm, Rurik II has sworn to give her sanctuary in his kingdom. He has also sworn to keep her from Rasputin. Granted, he is more fair to the man as he knows he has been demonized, but in the Trope Pantheon those rumors can shape a man. And they have depicted him as more than just a man.
• While his enemies will just refer to him by his birth name of Nikolay Ivanovich Krylov, his allies will refer to him as Rurik II as a means of respect even if they think he's sort of insane. It's worth noting that Razputin once dealt with someone who reluctantly though they were a historical figure (the Napoleon), however this was sort of true in a way. Learning of this has furthered Nikolay's belief he is Rurik reincarnated, for those wondering. Batman felt this was no laughing matter as a member of his rogues gallery, Maxie Zeus, had a similar delusion and believed he was the Big Z himself. Ultimately both Razputin and Batman decided to just leave Krylov alone because not only is his delusion ultimately harmless, but if anything it's helped his political career.
• Another Batman villain he heard namedropped was Jervis Tetch, the Mad Hatter. While he doesn't believe he's a historical figure, he does basically believe he's that Mad Hatter and is searching for his Alice. Rurik pities his clear delusion, even if he condemns his kidnapping ways and criminal activity. He also feels somewhat bad for Hunter Zolomon's mental illness and his twisted views on the idea that Misery Builds Character, though again he'd rather not be near a clearly dangerous individual. Zolomon finds this an ironic statement as the trauma Krylov endured during World War II reshaped him into the relatively successful warlord he's become.
• Initially Rurik believed that Bender was crazy for thinking he was Napoleon. Bender initially felt offended as a) he feels it's hypocritical on Krylov's part and b) he was just trying to get through a difficult time through humor. He's not happy that he got to be the trope image for the Napoleon Delusion page. His opinion started changed after noting the leader of Kemerovo downing drinks, wondering "are you are robot in disguise or something?" Rurik's response? "Not robot, Russian". The robot started liking the cut of his jib and become one of his drinking buddies. Barney Gumble quickly joined in with them afterwards, to no-one's surprise
• It's key to remember that even if Nikolay Krylov is insane, he is not detrimentally insane. He is not Aerys the Mad; a man who's already lacking talents as a king went into full-blown Ax-Crazy status following his Sanity Slippage. Of course, Aerys' many enemies argue that he was always a bad person so it wasn't much of a fall. The same thing but worse can be said about Mannfred Von Carstein, who's biggest flaw probably isn't even insanity but his low-functioning sociopathy. Overall, Rurik II has no patience to the destructively mad royalty that people like Luca Blight belong to. He isn't too fond of the sane but sociopathic Arcturus Mengsk as his governing is everything he initially swore to overturn. On a much lighter note, he is annoyed by Don Quixote's delusional heroism, though Don considers Nikolay saying that to be hypocritical.
• Despite his eccentricities, Rurik II is generally well-accepted in the House of Royalty. In general, he respects its members should they prove righteous or responsible, especially if they're both. He was a bit upset that they denied his request to be an official member of the House, but has accepted this has more to do with the category his trope fits than anything to do with him as a person or ruler. While he cannot stand Aerys Targaryen, he holds his famous ancestor Aegon the Conqueror and his sister-wives^note well OK not the sister-wife thing in high regard. Not only did they unify most of Westeros under their rule, but ruled as competent, harsh but fair monarchs. The Conqueror for his part hopes that even if he ultimately fails to reunify TNO's Russia, someone just as good as him will.
• He has written◊ a scathing letter to the Third Reich denouncing them as inhuman and barbaric as they claim the so-called "untermnesch" are, and effectively saying they are Germany's true enemy and are afraid of Russia. Rurik despises the Nazis as any good person, especially Russian, should, and no Nazi in the Trope Pantheon is safe from his contempt. His anger is directed most of all to the Red Skull for basically personifying Nazism, and Deathshead for representing a timeline where the Nazis are even more successful than the timeline he is from. However he also has choice words for Vladimir Makarov and his crew for being a perversion of his own people, and has chided Nikita Dragovich for letting himself become as big of a monster as the Fuhrer himself.
  • Though HYDRA aren't associated with Nazis anymore, Rurik considers them Nazis anyway. Quoting Linkara; "If it walks like a duck, quacks like a duck, and Sieg Heils like a frickin' Nazi, it's a frickin' Nazi! Don't try to split hairs when it comes to the freakin' Nazis!". Well, almost quote as he replaced "frickin" with another F word.
• Rurik II is glad to know that in most timelines, OTL included the Nazis lost and were permanently discredited. He has nothing but respect for Captain America despite the legendary rivalry between the US and the Soviet Union, helped by Steve representing the virtues of his country above the country itself. William "B.J" Blazkowicz is another ally for his role as a Nazi Hunter, and Charlie Company are good company to him. That said, he disagrees with the notion that America Won World War II.
• Though nowhere near as contemptous to organized religion as he is fascism and villainous Russians, Rurik II believes religion is mostly wrong. While believing in mystic forces and higher forces he considers clergymen charlatans and imposes state atheism. He's quite skeptical of the House of Religion and Faith and regards his own rank as a "demigod" in the Trope Pantheon "an empty title, but a better one isn't available to me". However, he reluctantly accepts religion is something people genuinely value and so long as they don't try to proselytize in his kingdom religious Pantheon members can do as they please; so long as they act compassionately or rule justly what they believe doesn't matter much to him
• One of the reasons he isn't militantly atheistic is because he has seen how that went down for the Emperor of Mankind. In many ways "Big E" started as a larger-scale unifier, much like Rurik hopes to be. However no matter how noble he may be, no matter how deserved his ruthlessness is, the Russian warlord regards the Emperor as still genocidal as the Nazis when it comes down to statistics. To his credit Emperor of Mankind is aware of his darker nature, and despite his Fantastic Racism is disgusted by standard human racism...and while he doesn't like Xenos, he tries to leave them alone if they don't want to cause trouble. Despite finding Krylov as somewhat insane, he doesn't find him a lousy ruler. Plus he despises the fundamentalist nature of the Imperium.
• Rurik II has sympathy for Truman Burbank due to how he was tricked about his role and identity throughout his life, and empathy for Bolt for his Actor/Role Confusion. Some in the House of Mentalism believe this is his subconscious awareness of his own madness, but it could just be him being nice. On another note, he likes how Doc Brown loved the Wild West growing up and thanks to time travel he got to spend several years in that era. Rurik would love to use his time machine to both stop Hitler's rise and experience the Kievan Rus' personally again. Doc Brown has reluctantly advised against the former as it never ends well and time travel is dangerous, but will consider the latter so long as Rurik can promise he won't try to meddle in any historical events
• There are debates on just how fitting he is for Napoleon Delusion as reports say should he reunify Russia, on his deathbed he said ""Good, good. Then perhaps this whole charade was worth it in the end". He hasn't lost his title because there's some serious ambiguity towards the context of his words: was this a Deathbed Confession, or did Krylov simply have a Moment of Lucidity at the end and he genuinely still believed he was Rurik II. Ultimately because no-one could definitively prove he was insincere and he built his career off of the Napoleon Delusion, he was permitted to keep the trope; even his own children weren't sure in the end.

Sinbad, God of Intrepid Merchants (Sindbad, Sinbad the Sailor/of the Sea)

• Enemies: Eris, Flintheart Glomgold
• On bad terms with: Popeye
• Many tales have been told of Sinbad, the traveling merchant. A guile and ambitious man with a thirst for adventure, he has sailed across the seven seas to find opportunities to open new trade routes and make himself richer. His famous seven voyages were fraught with complications, what with constantly getting shipwrecked on remote islands and attracting the undesirable attention of various monsters or unsavory natives, necessitating him to devise a crafty way to escape these dangers. Often he was the sole survivor, and was only too glad when he finally reached home. Which never stopped him from soon becoming bored with his comfortable life and get a case of wanderlust, making him go back on a new, even more perilous journey. With that said, after his seventh voyage, he finally grew tired of adventuring and settled down for good.
• In his old age, the Pantheon sent him a dream, which compelled Sinbad to go on an eighth and likely final voyage in hopes of discovering this mystical place which beckoned him. Not too long after setting sail, the ship entered the Pantheon, and Sinbad found himself once more in the flower of his youth, which he took as a sign that the Pantheon really was meant to be his last stop. This eighth voyage was not nearly as eventful as the others as the ship was guided directly to the Main House, where Sinbad was granted his domain. Though that might be considered a little anticlimactic, Sinbad feels intrigued enough by what the Pantheon has to offer that his wanderlust has returned stronger than ever, and he intends to explore its expanse and create his fortune from it just as he used to do.
• Like many characters who've had many different, sometimes contradictory, stories told of themselves, Sinbad is aware of his alternate selves and remembers everything he (or they) did in their lives, which is why he wasn't surprised at all when the chaos goddess Eris approached him and made sure he knew she wouldn't make things easy for him just because he was himself a god now. Sinbad just does his best to avoid doing anything to incur her wrath; while he is still very confident in his guile, it's simply for the best not to piss off the ancient gods.
• Upon hearing Sinbad was in the Pantheon, Popeye marched down to his temple to give him a piece of his mind after what happened between them. Popeye found this Sinbad to be a rather scrawnier guy than he remembered, plus he insisted that while he could remember meeting and fighting Popeye, he tried to assure that this was an entirely different version of himself with which he did not identify. Sinbad then saw that Popeye only had one eye and remarked about having fought one-eyed giants before and how Popeye, with his great strength, might be a descendant from them. This unfortunately made Popeye furious and resulted in a fight between them. They haven't gotten along since.
• Seeing as how Sinbad is someone who traveled all around the world and worked hard to make his fortune, it's only natural that he and the similarly enterprising and well-traveled Scrooge McDuck see each other as birds of a feather. Scrooge, who comes from a humble background, would be critical of the fact that Sinbad wasted the wealth inherited from his father in leisure, but is willing to let that pass as Sinbad redeemed himself for that well enough through his adventures. It's a frequent occurrence for them to team up in expeditions with their sights set on increasing their fortunes, which they split fair and square when found. There have also been a few times where they compete against each other to see who makes their fortune faster instead, all in good spirit, which is certainly more than Scrooge can say of his main foe Flintheart Glomgold, whom he's made sure to warn Sinbad to watch out for, due to his avarice knowing no bounds. Though given some of the unsavory things Sinbad has had to do to survive, maybe Glomgold is the one who needs to watch out for the hardened merchant.
• In one of his voyages in the Pantheon, his ship got wrecked by one of the many sea monsters populating the seas and he found himself washing up ashore and then walking through a desert until he passed out. Fortunately, he was found by the former street rat Aladdin, who brought him to the Sultan's palace and nursed him to health with the help of his wife Jasmine and his friends. Sinbad was rather glad that his luck in getting saved and favored by royalty still hadn't run out. He and Aladdin talked at length about their respective adventures, with Sinbad musing that they weren't all too different as Aladdin in a way had managed to make his own fortune through his adventures, being lucky to rise all the way from poverty to royalty thanks to his good heart.
• One of his less ill-fated voyages resulted in him meeting Moana and becoming acquainted with her experienced seafaring people. Observing Moana's culture and special relationship to the sea was quite amazing for Sinbad, especially as Moana told him of how her people had once lost their navigational art out of fear of the sea and how she had set out on a raft on her own and, after many adventures, brought the art back to her people. Sinbad realized then they were similar in their desire to explore the world. He also later made friends with the god Maui, a personal friend of Moana, which might prove fortuitous given the potential troubles Sinbad could have with Eris.

looks good so far imo but I can give some on the spot suggestions. Odysseus and Lemuel Gulliver being ill fated island adventures. I can see Odysseus being friends with Sinbad while Gulliver doesn't have high opinions on him even if they are these similarities due to Gulliver's general misanthropy.

Edit: Interactions with other pirates would be nice as well like with William and Elizabeth Turner, the One Pieces Dieites or people from the Hall of Piracy.

I suggest making a collage of Sinbads since that one in the pic isn't even a merchant at all, but a pirate.

Done with Opa-Opa's rework.

Opa-Opa, Avatar of the Cute 'em Up

• Intermediate Deity
• Symbol: Itself
• Theme Music: Opa-Opa! (Round One)
• Alignment: Neutral Good
• Portfolio: Sapient Ship, Cute 'em Up, Nintendo Hard
• Domains: Ships, Cuteness, Weirdness
• Herald: Upa-Upa
• High Priests: Twinbee, Winbee, & Gwinbee
• Allies: Sonic the Hedgehog, Vic Viper, Star Fox, Luke Skywalker
• Enemies: Vanitas, Dark Meta Knight, Dark Link, Bydo Empire
• Dreads: Event Horizon
• The forces of evil have attacked Fantasy Zone, a colorful world filled with strange imagery and it's up to Opa-Opa to fight back and dispel the darkness that threatens everything. There’s no actual pilot in control of Opa-Opa and the ship can access a shop every so often to expand its arsenal of weapons. Despite the bright and colorful setting and Opa-Opa being similarly bright itself, there’s some darker events going on during Opa-Opa’s fight against evil. Among them include tumultuous events related to his father and the fact that Opa-Opa is vulnerable to being corrupted to become an insane entity that spreads chaos across the world he was meant to protect.
• Life continued on in Fantasy Zone for Opa-Opa and whoever else was residing in that place when another enemy attack began to occur. These particular adversaries looked nothing like the ones that Opa-Opa previously fought against, but the mission remained the same for it: keep Fantasy Zone safe against dangers of any kind. While some of the enemies that were attacking the moment were easier than normal, the attack continued on with enemies that proved to be a much greater challenge for Opa-Opa. Eventually, Opa-Opa was able to destroy the final ship that was leading the attack on Fantasy Zone, but when it exploded, some paper fell onto the ground, prompting Opa-Opa to read them and see if there was anything unusual on them. Said pieces of paper were listed as having originated in the Pantheon, a vast world connected to and far from Fantasy Zone and that whoever used to own that paper was intending to conquer various worlds throughout the Pantheon. Seeing that this meant that not only would Fantasy Zone be in danger, but so would many other worlds beyond it, Opa-Opa took it upon itself to be one of several entities in the Pantheon willing to fight back against anyone that threatened the peace of others.
• It wouldn’t take long for Sonic the Hedgehog to befriend another entity dedicated to fighting against any sort of evil that threatens many lands. Upon seeing Opa-Opa as a ship that can control itself instead of having a pilot akin to something that Tails can control, Sonic saw the idea of a self-piloting ship as something that could go either way. A self-piloting ship made by Tails can be of use in fighting against Eggman and his army, but at the same time, Eggman can use something like that in his conquests, but regardless of what will happen, Opa-Opa has been an effective transport to get Sonic to very far locations if Tails busy with some other adventure that doesn’t require Sonic’s help. Sonic has even invited Opa-Opa to some races alongside other Sega characters and while it has taken part in them, Opa-Opa is one of the less frequent participants during such events.
• A major source of help for Opa-Opa when it came to handling the different threats in the Pantheon came in Vic Viper, another starship with a history of shooting up different enemies. While Opa-Opa is consistently a living ship, there have been different versions of Vic Viper ranging from a ship people can pilot to a sentient ship similar to Opa-Opa, but this made no impact to Vic Viper’s usefulness either way. As the Opa-Opa has been mainly used to fighting colorful adversaries, Vic Viper helped it out in dealing with far more deadly enemies such as the Bydo Empire. As the goal of the Bydo is to assimilate everything into its rank and that Vic Viper is one of its potential targets, Opa-Opa knew that it had to step up its efforts to ensure that the Pantheon and the friends that the ship has made don’t fall to such dark forces, even if Opa-Opa itself is as susceptible to getting assimilated by the Bydo as much as Vic Viper or others are.
• Even among the colorful and surreal worlds that Opa-Opa has traveled throughout the Pantheon and keeping them safe, Gensokyo was one of the stranger worlds that Opa-Opa became aware of. A world where many supernatural entities exist, Gensokyo has plenty of girls and many of them are capable of strong feats that would give Opa-Opa a hard time navigating if he were to end up in conflict against anyone who lived in Gensokyo. That said, the inhabitants of Gensokyo aren’t as antagonistic as some of the enemies Opa-Opa had to fight against in the Pantheon and seeing the kinds of abilities the girls of Gensokyo can do did inspire Opa-Opa to become stronger in order to fight against much more dangerous adversaries. If deftly navigating the attacks of girls in a dedicated setting can help Opa-Opa navigate deadlier areas, then it can certainly find an opening for attack when it needs to fight against a villain who is far more dangerous than anyone from Gensokyo.
• It once worked with a team known as the White Nuts during a period in the future where Mars was under attack by the Nohzas and the White Nuts had to prevent the Nozhas from taking over the planet. Being in the Pantheon meant that Opa-Opa had some involvement in intergalactic adventures and sometimes helped such space-themed entities in protecting the cosmos from various threats. Star Fox was a team of space pilots who Opa-Opa sometimes worked with in shooting up enemies in the air and seeing a ship with no pilot help out was a slightly strange sight, but one who the team had no issues with otherwise. Deities that have had experience in protecting the planet Mars don’t mind Opa-Opa helping out in keeping that planet safe given its previous endeavor with the White Nuts.
• Opa-Opa has an unusual relationship with its father as it initially fought against him, but later learned that Opapa wanted Opa-Opa to get rid of the darkness that could corrupt its mind and Opapa later died fighting against the Nenon forces, prompting Opa-Opa to avenge him. Opa-Opa would learn about Luke and Anakin Skywalker, their battle against evil, the possibility of corruption bringing about tragedy to everyone they once cared about, and their familial revelations during their confrontation with each other. Anakin was corrupted by the Dark Side he was supposed to fight against, becoming Darth Vader, and once Luke discovered his connection to Vader, it led to a battle against the once responsible for turning Anakin against his former allies, ending with Vader turning against Palpatine and reconciling with Luke before dying. Such an adventure was much grander in scale and personal stakes than with Opa-Opa had gone through, but it was clear that Opa-Opa was strongly sympathetic to Luke’s ordeal in fighting against an evil as dangerous as Palpatine and Luke has given Opa-Opa plenty of motivation to maintain its strong will and not succumb to corruption when fighting evil.
• The darkness that was presented in Opa-Opa manifested as a dark version of itself who Opa-Opa had to fight against. There were plenty of villains who existed as a literal dark counterpart to numerous heroes that sometimes existed as a separate entity and Opa-Opa knew that such villains needed to be stopped. Among such villains included Dark Link, Dark Meta Knight, and Vanitas, with the latter posing a prominent danger to the Pantheon to the point where Opa-Opa was worried that if its own evil counterpart appeared again, it would be willing to work with such deadly characters to try and make Opa-Opa fall into darkness once more. While some dark counterparts who exist independently of their originals such as Dark Pit have proven to not be as bad as they appear, Opa-Opa has seen most of them as a problem, especially if Evil Opa-Opa decides to get involved with them.
• Starships that can pilot itself akin to Opa-Opa are a fairly uncommon occurrence in the Pantheon and only some highly skilled engineers are able to design such things. There was one starship that can pilot itself that was sighted in the starry skies of the Pantheon and it was a ship that Opa-Opa was terrified of. The Event Horizon is a nightmarish abomination with a hyperdrive and those that explore the ship are subject to psychological trauma, with attempts at trying to get rid of the ship entirely proven to be very difficult. While Opa-Opa has already gotten over its personal demons with the help of its father, attempting to explore the Event Horizon could not only bring back said internal conflict, but it’ll be amplified to such a degree that it’ll put Opa-Opa at an even bigger risk of being corrupted than normal. While Opa-Opa would like to team up with other potentially sentient starships that are heroic and fight against others that are evil, the Event Horizon is something that would endanger Opa-Opa immensely even if it has access to weapons that can significantly damage the Event Horizon and no matter how strong the help Opa-Opa can get, trying to destroy Event Horizon will be a massive undertaking that could take a toll on Opa-Opa.
• In order to upgrade its arsenal, Opa-Opa has to visit a shop and spend the money it's earned from shooting up enemies. As is to be expected from anyone fighting for a cause in the Pantheon, that vast world has given Opa-Opa more options on what shops it can visit and what weapons and engines it can potentially buy and use in battle. While some of these shops in the Pantheon have more potent options that Opa-Opa can purchase, there are a few that sell things that are too good to be true and those kinds of items are prone to putting Opa-Opa at a disadvantage once used up. Opa-Opa largely prefers to use what it currently has at its disposal (including any related upgrades for them), but if there’s a good option to give it an easier time against stronger adversaries and won’t inconvenience Opa-Opa later on, it's willing to take a chance on such options.

Hi! I'm looking to add a character who is the Goddess of Adaptive Expansion. Is there any pre-existing gods or goddesses with that title?

For those asking, the character I am asking for ascension is Sky Striker Ace - Raye, from the Yu-Gi-Oh! Card Game and OCG Stories, whom she is the protagonist of.

for Opa-Opa.

CrimsonShark had Hanna approved for Adaptation Expansion already.

Ah, got it. Guess I gotta keep looking- there's so many deities and so many more tropes to find that fit Raye.

I'm your Venus, I'm your fire at your desire! Venus draft again.

Venus

Venus, Divine Seat of Supposedly Lush Planets (Morning Star, Evening Star, Sol II, Lucifer, Helel)

^{According to DC} 

• Hall: Astronomical Bodies
• Description: A planet slightly smaller than earth, covered in very dense clouds
• Symbol: A pink female symbol
• Theme Song: Venus, The Bringer of Peace by Gustav Holst
• Alignment: True Neutral
• Portfolio: Science Marches On, Former Science Fiction Magnet, Supposedly Lush and Habitable for Humans, Actually The Closest Thing To Hell We Know Of, Hottest Planet In the Solar System, Brightest Object in the Night Sky
• Domains: Clouds, Sulphiric Acid, Carbon Dioxide, Volcanoes, Science Fiction, Astronomy, Light, the Morning, the Evening
• Sacred To:
  • Heavenly: Aphrodite, Inanna/Ishtar, Quetzalcoatl, Horus
  • Hellish: Every "Lucifer"/Satan (whether from SMT, Supernatural, Paradise Lost, Castlevania, Lucifer (comic), or Divine Comedy), Lucemon
  • Misc: Minako Aino/Sailor Venus, Rameses
• Source of Interest To: Marvin the Martian, Wonder Woman, The Vex, The Corpus
• Banned Entry: Gidorah
• The planet Venus is located around 107 million kilometers from the Sun. Since it's one of the brightest objects in Earth's night sky, Venus has been known to ancient civilizations for millenia. It's known as the Morning Star as well as the Evening Star due to being visible during those two times of day. In the modern period humanity learned that Venus was a planet almost the same size as Earth and having an atmosphere as thick (if not thicker) - as a result it was known as "Earth's twin". For a very long time sci-fi writers would speculate about what life on the planet would be like - usually that it was lush, green, and like a great big jungle. Some other authors went Up To Eleven, and thought Venus was covered entirely with water (as Isaac Asimov did). For a very long time sci-fi stories focused on adventures on the supposedly lush Venus. But the more man learned about the planet, the more it was realized Venus was completely inhospitable, so it's more like Earth's Evil Twin than anything else.
• The planet is named after the Roman goddess of love, known to the Greeks as Aphrodite. But the ancient Babylonians were the first to record the planet's existance and they named it after their love-war goddess Innana/Ishtar. As both goddesses are in the Pantheon both of them value the place as sacred to both of them (though they often compete for who's in charge). Due to it's link to these goddesses many sci-fi writers imagined the aliens of Venus to be a Matriarchy or Lady Land. It wasn't, but that doesn't stop Aphrodite and Inanna/Ishtar from droping by to make it a bit more habitable. The rivalry between the two goddesses manifests here, too, as they compete over who gets which parts of the place.
• A somewhat lesser-known name for Venus is the Morning Star (or Evening Star), known in Latin as Lucifer. Yes, you read that right, Lucifer. The reason the name 'Lucifer' is associated with the Devil is a passage in Isaiah 14 in The Bible, where the prophet compares the fall of a king from grace to how Venus appears to 'fall' in the night sky. While the fallen king is identified as the king of Babylon, readers throughout the ages have (at least through typology) identified him as Satan. As a result the planet holds a special place in the hearts of the fallen angels Lucifer (SMT), Lucifer (Supernatural), Satan (Paradise Lost), Satan (Castlevania), Dis, Samael, and Lucemon for being their namesake.
• Yet another heavenly being linked with the planet is Quetzalcoatl, the Feathered Serpent of the ancient Aztecs. In fact, the ancient Aztecs believed Quetzalcoatl was the Morning Star. While he's not interchangeable with the planet, he still likes visiting it anyways. At times he adopts a female form (either Rider or Lucoa) to fit in with the goddesses of the planet. What's more? There might be a fourth: it was maybe believed by the Egyptians that Horus' two eyes were the Morning and Evening Stars (although this one is slightly less clear as his eye is more associated with the Moon in later texts).
• There's a bit of confusion about what the adjective for something of or from Venus is. Most people stick with "Venusian", which gets the point across but is weird grammar-wise. It used to be "Venerian" for a while, which works grammar-wise but sounds a bit too much like "venerial". The science community likes the term "Cytherean", named after the island of Cythera that the goddess Venus (Aphrodite) was reported to be born on - but that sounds nothing like 'Venus' so it's uncommon. Of course, names like "Aphrodisial" and "Luciferian" are only going to cause more confusion, and we hopefully don't need to explain why "Venerial" doesn't work.
• Believe it or not, Venus might have actually once been wet in the past. According to a 2016 paper from Cornell University, Venus might have had a habitable climate at least 715 million years ago. So if any deity has a time machine (which many indeed do), they could just go reeeeeaaally far back in time and they might see a tropical planet there.
• There are plenty more people who covet the planet. Both The Vex and The Corpus have invaded Venus at times, and have tried to do so again - round two was less successful than the original tries since multiple people had the same idea at once so the invasions were tripping over each other. Unsurprisingly Gidorah is not allowed near the place by anyone, since he destroyed the early civilization living there - leading it to be the uninhabitable wasteland it is now.
• It's commonly said women are from here, and men are from Mars. This is because the symbols of male and female gender are also the Greek symbols for Mars and Venus. Plus, there's the fact that it's the only planet in the solar system named after a lady (unless you count Earth being called Gaia/Terra).
• Marvin the Martian is enamored with the planet - so enamored in fact, that he wants to destroy Earth just because it's blocking his view of Venus. Why he likes it so much is unknown; maybe Venus is a bright 'Morning Star' on the Red Planet too, or maybe he still thinks it's a green paradise under the clouds (he's from the 1940s after all), or maybe he wants to get a look at the hot godessess who drop by there. Whatever the reason, he's partial to the planet even though he's been there but just looks at it through his telescope.
• Pharaoh Rameses II actually claims equality with the planet - namely via his role as Horus incarnate.
  "I am the morning and the evening star! I am Pharaoh!
• Diana / Wonder Woman has good relationships with the planet and it's inhabitants. Queen Desira, a local ruler on the planet, is one of Diana's friends. She's helped defend the planet multiple times, and Desira has helped her defend Earth too.

@r-lock:

I'll probably replace Sinbad's image with one closer to his original portrayal. If one of the people who enjoy doing collages wants to do one for him, be my guest.

Here's some suggestions in the meanwhile.

• Anthony, Adam and Bernadette from The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert for Drag Queen: They are a trio of professional drag queens (two gay men, one trans woman, and before you ask, drag queens are not exclusively male) who travel cross-country in order to put on a show at the request of Anthony's Last Het Romance; during the trip they also get many chances to perform for the various people they meet.
• Junior from Storks for Delivery Stork: Junior is a stork and his species used to be in charge of delivering babies, but they have since abandoned the practice and instead run an Amazon expy. Then Junior accidentally reactivates the baby-making machine and has to go on an adventure to deliver the resulting baby to its family, with the storks as a whole going back into baby-delivering by the end of the film.
• Suzu Naito/Belle for Beautiful Singing Voice: Suzu is a talented singer, but has become unable to sing ever since the death of her mother. She learns of the virtual world of U and signs in, discovering she is able to sing with ease and becomes the most popular singer in U through her "Belle" persona. At the height of her popularity she develops an interest in an outcast called "Dragon", and by helping him with his issues, she gains the strength to sing in real life once more.

for these profile suggestions.

Opa-Opa flies again.

I was browsing around the Pantheon, and I noticed for the entry for the four Nobles from Resident Evil Village Heisenberg is the only one without allies. Think it's possible to add some?

Quick draft for Strong Bad. TDLR, he's an egotistical Jerkass who hosts a show where he answers emails, often insulting the sender or going off on tangents. Other hobbies include trying to convince everyone how "awesome" he is, playing mean pranks for fun (usually on his brother Strong Sad) and drawing comics about Teen Girl Squad.

So, any other disproportionate egotists that would likely but heads with Strong Bad over who's cooler? Has anyone else in the Pantheon answered fan mail?

Strong Bad, God of Reading Fan Mail Beyond the Fourth Wall (Stong Band, Professor Tor Coolguy, Tip Tappers, Vance Mudgeman, Cara Carabowditbowdit, Dr. Marvin Rubdown, The Leg, Dangeresque, Space Captainface, Lord Barglebroth)

• Theme Song: You Can't Handle My Style or Strong Bad is a Bad Guy
• Lesser God
• Symbol: The Strong Badian Flag
• Alignment: Chaotic Neutral (occasionally claims to be Chaotic Evil)
• Portfolio: Side Characters Who Stole The Spotlight, Thinks He's Cooler Than He Actually Is, An Asshole With A Soft Side, Has Boxing Gloves For Hands Claims To Be A Ladies Man, Obsessed With Outdated Technology, Harmless Villain That Still Lost His Edge Overtime, Whatever He Imagines Becomes Real, Expressive Mask
• Domains: Fan Email, Computers, Jerks, Fake Countries
• Heralds: Strong Sad and Strong Mad (his brothers) and The Cheat (his sidekick/pet)
• Allies: Sam And Max, The Heavy, Freakazoid
• Enemies: TBA
• Annoys: Marzipan, The House Of Love And Affection
• Annoyed By: Suction Cup Man
• Vitriolic Best Buds With: Homestar Runner
• Strong Bad is a resident of the strange land of Free Country, USA, and is one of the most well known residents. Living alongside his brothers Strong Mad and Strong Sad, Strong Bad often spends his time indulging himself in his overinflated ego, wether it be by bothering the other residents for kicks alongside his partner The Cheat or trying to convince everyone how cool he is. In his spare time, he hosts Strong Bad Emails, a web show where he responds to various fan "sbemails", usually resulting in him either exaggerating his capabilities, going completely off topic regarding the subject, or insulting the sender on their grammar and spelling. As a result of the series, the series catapulted him into becoming essentially the main character of the site, a fact that he's completely aware of and all too happy to flaunt, if for the wrong reasons.
• Strong Bad has actually been in the Pantheon for a long while, having first ascended alongside his alleged nemesis, Homestar Runner. Initially it was only Homestar tat was set to ascend, but Strong Bad was too stubborn to accept that someone "lamer than him" was going to some cool god realm without him, so he convinced Homestar to bring him along, and sure enough he landed a title for himself. He initially had the title of Small Name, Big Ego thanks to his comically overinflated self-confidence, but it didn't take long for his title to be changed to Fourth-Wall Mail Slot thanks to his series, which was a large part of why he was popular in the first place. He still continues to host his show in the Pantheon from his temple (his house, naturally), where he encourages other gods to send him emails so that they can get to know him better.

@Crimson Shark: Thanks for all the feedback, but the first segment of the Tree Friends' condition post-all-deaths-memories was deliberate in being short bullets.

• Blood, as an indicator of injury and mortality, is usually something you don't want to see — unless the scene plays out in such a way that the gore becomes the joke, turning the gruesome display into hilarity. That is what being Bloody Hilarious is all about. And the web series Happy Tree Friends is all about that; being a whimsical cutesy show on the surface, only to show its true colors to anyone who watches it as its characters suffer (or in the case of some, inflict) all sorts of gruesome deaths, and there is plenty of hilarity to be had along the way.

• Applies to all or some of them:
  • The first side effect of their ascension is that without Negative Continuity in play, everyone now remembers all of their deaths across the series, and given that a lot of them have died many times, to say the consequences were profound would be an understatement. So much so that the Protectors of the Plot Continuum had to step in to clean up the mess. Notable events include:
    • Catatonic states for everyone except Splendid (least deaths), Cro-Marmot (there's no way to tell with him), and Flippy (as a soldier). Things were actually civil between them before the rest woke up, their personal horrors fresh in their minds.
    • Nearly everybody staying away from Flippy and Lumpy (for being the causes of so many deaths, the former deliberately as Fliqpy).
    • Lifty getting into a quarrel with Shifty for his betrayals.
    • Pop demanding everyone stay away from him and Cub.
    • Flaky being fearful of almost everybody and rambling on how right she was.
    • All the quarreling making Flippy snap into Fliqpy, who promptly went on a killing spree (except on the Mole). Mr. Pickels follows suit (and gets the Mole and others killed) with Lammy failing to stop him.
    • Splendid finally fighting Fliqpy for the first time ever, given they've never got to meet one another in canon outside of the iOS game Deadeye Derby.
    • Fliqpy using those still alive or already dead as shields, and Splendid breaking through them recklessly in his attempt to stop him. And the survivors getting themselves killed in other ways during the panic.
    • A piece of glowing green rock somehow ending up in the place, and it had the same effect on Splendid as the Krypto-Nut: induced vomiting. Fliqpy took this chance to impale the "superhero" with it, but made the mistake of doing it from the front, and thus getting a face full of vomit, which started melting him. Both were the last ones standing and have performed a Mutual Kill.
  • The PPC and the Houses of Life and Death had to do a lot of thinking and debating on how to go through with the Tree Friends' memories after that entire ordeal. Their final verdict is currently classified.
  • Their collective temple resembles the Quirky Town they reside in. Their residences vary, and so do the other buildings and natural areas, but constants include Mime's tent, Sniffles' metallic tree-shaped house (like most others), Flaky's non-tree-shaped house (unlike everyone else), Russell's pirate ship-shaped tree house, an apartment where Lifty and Shifty have a room in, Cro-Marmot's Dome with a hill and an igloo inside, Flippy's quonset hut, Splendid's Acorn Fortress, and a hospital.
  • Since their ascension, the Pantheon's civilian sectors have gotten more bloody mishaps due to the Tree Friends' shenanigans, which always run the risk of escalating until it stops or other people who can keep calm manage to quell it. Thankfully for them, they're also much more likely to avoid deaths thanks to their more observant neighbors (of which there are many) ensuring their survival. Despite that, given a shut window can chop off their limbs or necks, or even tripping can crack a head open, they're still the more frequent visitors to the Houses of Life and Death. Despite that, they are also occasionally seen as an inconvenience due to all the gore they may splatter on a more regular rate than even other Quasideities. Exceptions to this are folks like Flippy and Splendid, but those two have their own sets of problems. Related to that, just like with Mystery Inc., Toon Physics cease to apply while around the Winchesters or Castiel. Unlike Mystery Inc., this is advantageous sometimes, as most of the Tree Friends die far more easily than usual otherwise. Though the supernatural threats the Winchesters face end up killing the Tree Friends easily anyway.
  • Out of all the Tree Friends, only Giggles, Mime (he defaults to a unicycle), Cub (for obvious reasons), and Splendid (who can fly anyway) haven't been seen driving vehicles throughout the main series. It's also been noted that many of the Tree Friends are desensitized to blood and gore (Cub included) even before remembering all of their deaths. The only exceptions are the Neat Freak Petunia and the Properly Paranoid Flaky. Some of them, usually Flippy, Disco Bear, the Mole, and Lumpy (and maybe Cro-Marmot, but no one can tell behind the ice), can actually be a bit blasé around their companions' dead bodies (this also means that they're probably most willing to kill their companions if they ever become zombies). But for the most part, the Tree Friends are as kind as they are fragile. Given their regular deaths, those who radiate bad luck such as Qrow Branwen are advised to stay the duck away from any of the Tree Friends, especially Handy, who seems to never have things go his way already.
  • In the event of an emergency that requires the Tree Friends to take up arms, their carts/boats and slingshots from Deadeye Derby are available for use (well, Sniffles has a special armored drill car with a drill, Lifty and Shifty have their van, Russell sails on a pirate ship instead, and Flippy operates a tank). The only ones who don't have this kind of gear are Mime, Lumpy, the Mole, Cro-Marmot, Pop and Cub, and Lammy (and Mr. Pickels). Yes, even Splendid has a cart, boat, and slingshot despite not needing them given his superpowers.
  • Some of Springfield's denizens see their shenanigans and are reminded of the another violently funny show called "The Itchy and Scratchy Show" which is like Tom and Jerry but bloodier. Speaking of those two, as well as Oggy and his cockroach nemeses, they (yes, even the roaches and their nemesis) all find their antics too shocking as it's too violent. Given all of the bloody nonsense the Tree Friends go through, Charlie the Unicorn prefers to stay away from them given the stuff he's lost in his adventures with Pink and Blue (a kidney and his horn, though he somehow managed to get them back).
  • Cuddles and Handy suffer from epilepsy and froth at the mouth when under this state. As for why Cuddles didn't suffer this during "In A Jam", he was too focused with fiddling with the stage controls to look at the lights. Handy, the Mole, and Lumpy make up the fan-named group No Hands, No Eyes, No Brain, and having the three together is a recipe for disaster, though not as much anymore with sensible people in the Pantheon to keep them all in line. They're all also really good friends with one another.
  • Given they're frequent victims of death (some in elaborate and painful ways) even before entering the Pantheon, Death from Final Destination is something they all fear (though Splendid laughed at that before circumstances actually got him killed). And this Death seems to enjoy finding all sorts of ways to kill them, though it may have to settle with simplicity given how easily most of them can die before any of its usual complex deaths can be pulled off to completion (unless the victim is Lumpy). Because of that, it made sense that its previous victims would harbor pity or even friendhsip to the Tree Friends (except the thieving raccoons who always bring their doom upon themsleves, and Fliqpy who is usually Death's harbinger).

• Exclusive to Cuddles:
  • Despite his name, Cuddles is a rebellious bunny, and his talents include extreme sports like skateboarding, surfing, and soccer. That said, his usual fragility means not many are willing to participate in those activities with him unless he's got all the protection gear. Surfing was now out of the question given he got killed when wiping out onto a buoy. Reportedly has a Masters Degree in Karate, but given his death record (some of them in the hands of Fliqpy), this is likely a false statement.
  • As a mischief maker on occasion, Cuddles—either by himself, with just Toothy, or with a few more Tree Friends—hangs out with others like him, but is usually either rebuffed due to his chances of death risking a lot of trauma for all who would witness it, lured to getting himself killed in some harebrained scheme given his naivety, or get himself bored as plenty of safety measures are made to avoid death by accidents, though if the substitute activities are fun enough, he's fine with the last. There was also once a rumor that claims he's actually allergic to carrots due to them making him choke. He's dismissed that rumor and proved to be stereotypical in that particular carrot-liking at least.
  • As a rabbit-based being, the Hall of Rabbits and Rodents and all the lagomorphs in the Bestiary. He does stay away from the Killer Rabbit of Caerbannog after having been Stripped to the Bone by it once.

• Exclusive to Giggles:
  • She immediately signed up at the Grand United Alliance of Nature as soon as she heard of it, being a staunch environmentalist. Of course, apart from speeches and nonviolent protests, she's not permitted to do anything too risky given how easily she can die, though a few unscrupulous ones have been considering using her as a regular martyr. Despite her fear of blood, Giggles has operated as a nurse. When asked, she explains that as long as it's not outside the body or on her, she'll be fine. She once tried to apply as a nurse in the House of Health and Diseases, but her tenure didn't last long because there's so many deaths and injuries in the Pantheon for her to handle, and because she keeps getting added in the patient queue or the morgue by way of often getting infected with nasty diseases, and accidently fatally injuring herself.
  • Has dated Cuddles, the Mole, Russell, Cro-Marmot, and Flippy, but the first is her most frequent date. Many have called her a slut or a whore because of this, and is no longer justified here by way of Negative Continuity. Giggles for her part doesn't know how to answer these accusations. Given her cutesy girly nature, Giggles made fast friends with Minnie Mouse, Daisy Duck, and Hello Kitty. But while they're all willing to protect Giggles from harm, sometimes they're just not successful, and it can be distressing and disheartening, though the girlfriends of Mickey and Donald have been through enough child-unfriendly incidents in the past to not be hit as bad as how Kitty gets it, even with the losses the feline's had to witness while supporting the GUAG Robot War Division.

• Exclusive to Toothy:
  • Due to Negative Continuity, Toothy's personality can vary, but constants include impulsiveness, mischievousness (but not to Cuddles's level), stubbornness, not being addle-brained, and being handy with some engineering, like building a bicycle from the necessary parts. He also has a pet tortoise that's usually docile, but when set to be territorial, it will pursue and consume. Usually, this should not be a problem to outrun, but Lumpy ended up as a casualty and was eaten piece by bloody piece. Thankfully, again due to Negative Continuity, this tortoise won't exhibit this behavior often.
  • Is allergic to bee stings. As for why he wasn't affected in "Aw Shucks", those were likely wasps. As such, he's always running away from any bee or bee-related deities such as Barry B. Benson, Q-Bee, Arakune, and supervillain Swarm. In fact, just to be safe, he would prefer to stay away from the Hall of Insects for good measure. Nicolas Cage pities him given his character in Wicker Man famously for stung by a lot of bees. Simlish aside, Toothy is a very good singer. He's had tail enlargement surgery (and it's a beaver tail like Handy's nautral tail), And ever since his attempt with Nutty, Toothy has been banned from dentistry. There was also one time whenTimmy Turner, seeing Toothy also had huge buck teeth just like him, tried to wish away his injuries, and it just cause him to be more of a risk-taker and injure himself even more.

• Exclusive to Lumpy:
  • Given his lethal reputation, even if he's shown proficiency in all of them, especially in jobs involving health, Lumpy has been rejected in almost every job he's taken before, mainly because most cannot be bothered to have someone watch him like a hawk all day. And every job he's taken since usually ends up with someone's death, so he often has little to do other than be a nuisance, or be tricked into serving as a decoy for someone to harm or kill, even partnering him with Leeroy Jenkins if they're feeling particularly sadistic.
    • This has also ruined most of his relationships with most of the Tree Friends, who all fear him now, but Pop continues to call for him on occasion, Cub seems to like him still, and so does Russell. He also continues corresponding with the Mole, and is one of the few who are aware of his condition. In spite of that, he's also been genuine in some of his efforts to save someone's life, usually Giggles, more successful at them than Lammy or Splendid (though the latter is admittedly easy to surpass), and is usually willing to take great lengths to go after their aggressors. As for whether he can actually protect them, that's another question.
    • Speaking of Leeroy Jenkins, he's someone Lumpy actually gets along with really well, though Jenkin's is just an idiot in terms of battle plans and not following them. Lumpy's also been approached by Goofy and Derpy Hooves, but all the shenanigans the moose ends up in means the former has to be the Straight Man for him just like in his Kingdom Hearts adventures, and the wall-eyed pegasus doesn't like seeing anybody get killed, and the only reasons her accidents haven't killed like Lumpy is because ponies are much tougher in general than humans, and the Tree Friendsare weaker than even them..
  • Is one of the few Tree Friends who isn't Made of Plasticine, though that just means he takes a lot of pain and injuries. He usually lives in a trashy trailer and drives a Lincoln Continental. His favorite foods are cheese and sandwiches, his favorite dessert is cheesecake, and he likes to talk to lettuce. By the way, Lumpy is actually dressed in a T-shirt and pants. They just have the exact same colors as his fur. He's one of the few Tree Friends who are aware of the Mole's blindness and Flippy's PTSD, and the only one to actively do something about them. Though those efforts failed, at least he was trying. And before boarding any aircraft, every Tree Friend is scanned meticulously for any items that can interfere with navigation systems, but Lumpy gets the most scrutiny out of everybody else given just how much he brought last time.
  • For all his blunders, Lumpy is extremely proficient in surfing, can perform an emergency tracheotomy on himself, and once took down a squid the size of a small house with only a mouse trap. And despite being stupid most of the time, he's also a proficient inventor (once making automatic shears by cobbling his garden shears together with a weed whacker, though at the side effect of belching too much smoke) and has exceptional and unique planning skills.

• Exclusive to Petunia:
  • Unlike other skunks, Petunia is a delight to be around, and there is no need to worry about any spray coming from her (unless you're Disco Bear, and even then she may have just used a can of pepper spray). The only potentially annoying thing about her is her OCD and mysophobia, though can be convinced to at least keep it to herself and her immediate area only, but bigger messes will make her hyperventilate. In fact, it is advised that if Petunia is getting antsy about her cleanliness, she should be helped with cleaning herself, or be incapacitated lest she go so far as to peel herself to death if she's desperate and dirty enough, and that's something almost nobody wants to see again.
  • Has dated Mime a few times, but her primary partner seems to be Handy, and has since moved on from the mute deer. Whenever she sees a Projectile Kiss coming her way, she's always prepared to ensure it never makes it to her; they might shatter to pieces upon contact, she would know after Mime mimed them during a date with him. She also avoids fast food kitchens, since their burger grills bring back horrific nightmares of Fliqpy pushing her face straight into them. And unlike Spongebob Squarepants, her face was burnt off and peeled away by it.
  • As one of the few skunks in the Pantheon, she gets along with Stella of the Hedgies, but loathes Pepé Le Pew after his advances remind her of Disco Bear (not to mention his leaking stink), and whenever he chases her, she gets injured all the time, but he always catches her before she can actually die, and it feels worse that way. She's even started to contemplate suicide (or even murder) just to get him out of her hair.

• Exclusive to Sniffles:
  • As a skilled inventor, Sniffles has quite the list of inventions, though they also tend to malfunction, leading to the death of others and himself a few times. He may be intelligent, but he's also lacks wisdom at times. Given his last ant-related death was because of one such device, of his own making no less, he's terrified of all forms of mind control/body, and avoids the Hall of Mind Control like the plague as a result. And ever since his… dream where he's suffered numerous deaths while his brain was connected to a TV invention of his that broadcasts his dreams, Sniffles stays away from all TV screens not of his own invention.
  • Now having remembered all his deaths by the Ant Family in gruesome detail, Sniffles now has a phobia for all ants, which is ironic given he's officially an anteater. He dreads Them! the most, and has decided to work on a weapon to neutralize them. However, given it's fear-driven, he's likely to go berserk in the midst of attacking them. And forget about ant heroes like Atom Ant and Ant-Man (even though he's a human-sized human most of the time), the phobia is just too great. Despite that however, Sniffles's place can be seen to have ant farm for study and backup snacks, and as a cartoon character, it's not like he's limited to just ants.
  • As inventors whose inventions don't always work or backfire in some way, Sniffles gets along with Jimmy Neutron and Heinz Doofenshmirtz and even helps them on occasion with some of their works. At least with the latter, Sniffles has less risk of dying since Perry the Platypus would also be there whenever he and Heinz meet one another time and time again. And if there are any "deaths" while Jimmy's inventions are involved, at least the ones Sniffles has suffered (like getting "deleted" by nanobots again.) were all easily reversible and not bloody.
  • One time during the many more fault line cracks Scrat makes with his acorn, one ended up chasing Sniffles and he started running in fear of getting cursed to be bifurcated like last time. By the end of it all, an entire House was badly damaged, there were a lot of injuries, and Sniffles cracked his head after falling in the fault line. And Scrat had to look for another place for his acorn.

• Exclusive to The Mole:
  • On top of blindness and muteness (given he doesn't scream even at the most excruciating of deaths), he's also hard of hearing, and barely able to feel pain, though he still has some thermoception (feeling temperature through his skin). Given all the disasters the Mole has caused, whenever he's in the area, someone's always there to walk him and essentially babysit him since he clearly keeps on working even when it's clear he shouldn't be. Some people actually wonder if he's really blind at all and not actually just allowing these things to happen. In case he really is, other blind deities in the Hall of Disabilities have considered teaching him to be careful with his surroundings, though so far slow progress has been made, and the house gets damaged a lot during these sessions.
  • Unlike in his home universe, the Mole is either given appropriate jobs that account for his blindness, or not hired at all. Still, he manages to drive a truck just fine. Apparently, he used to be a secret agent, though he's certainly retired from that now and no longer able to be reinstated. Still, Perry the Platypus and Secret Squirrel have made a few social calls to see if any of his skills as a secret agent can ever resurface, and both are willing to step in to stop anyone from getting killed by the Mole's actions, including the Mole himself. Additionally, every Halloween, legitimate ghosts haunt his house, though given his condition, he likely isn't aware of this. And now that he's in the Pantheon, he's also encountered other monsters from the Houses of Beast and [[Undead. Being blind, he's mostly oblivious to their presence to get scared, and when they try to kill him, half the time they handily succeed, but the other half they get themselves injured by his antics.

• Applies to Pop and/or Cub:
  • For all his faults that usually end up in Cub's death, it's evident that Pop really does love his son very much. As a result, there have been two factions from the House of Family and Relatives that spend their time on him; one side wants to find a better caretaker for Cub and take him away from Pop for his own good (even thoughhe thinks of himself as a good father), while the other side wants to teach Pop to be a better parent to Cub. Pop for his part finds them all overbearing, especially when both sides start arguing. For all his idiocy however, even Pop would not condone deliberately abusive behavior to children.
  • Before anyone asks, Pop's wife is permanently deceased. It's not known why she doesn't end up in the same system of revival like the rest of the Tree Friends. Pop is also known to be a cheapskate, spending as little money as possible, even if the cheaper item is clearly dangerous, such as an occult eldritch book (though why Toothy had one for sale in the first place is an excellent question as well).
  • Lumpy is one of the few people Pop trusts, and this is also extended to Disco Bear, given they're all always adults (and also dimwitted). While he's apathetic to the rest of the Tree Friends, he's been most antagonistic with Sniffles (who's still more patient with him sometimes if he's helping to save Cub) and Splendid (though will attend a convention for the "superhero" because Cub likes him). While he's become slightly less abrasive toward everyone else later on, that attitude has returned ever since everyone's recalled their own deaths.
  • Despite being a baby, Cub acts like a four-year-old child. He's also expressed interest in fireman helmets, lollipops, and dead body parts, mostly Lumpy's (not really comprehending when he's dead). He might actually be older than baby age, but keeps wearing a diaper still because Pop couldn't potty-train him. Cub is also actually lactose intolerant; as for the milk he's been seen drinking sometimes, either it's lactose-free, soy milk, or Pop is being neglectful as always.
  • Cub likes hanging out with Baby Bink and Stewie Griffin, who are among the few ascended babies in the Pantheon, and both of them are quite good at keeping him safe. There are those who find it surprising that Stewie is like this around Cub, to which he replies that he's aware of the violence around him, and that even he would rather not see Cub end in a bloody pulp. Tom and Jerry have also been hired on occasion to babysit Cub, and even if he would get in trouble lot of times, and cause a lot of close calls that end with the duo messed up and exhausted, they would still be better babysitters than Pop ever could be.
  • Pop once built Cubtron Z after his son died yet again, and this time he drew a lot of attention when Cubtron Z ended up in range of a kaiju battle in the Bestiary, thus getting roped in. And since he's obviously a newbie to the whole concept of battle, he was shortly killed yet again again, leaving Pop distraught once more until Cub's next revival. Since then, Pop has occasionally approached Sniffles to help with building a better Cubtron Z if the thought ever occurs to him again.

• Exclusive to Flaky:
  • In the aftermath of remembering all the deaths, Flaky has become extremely reclusive as a result, and the discovery of the wonders of the Internet has given her even less excuses to go outside. At least not without plenty of protection gear. That said, should she ever get killed inside, then she goes out, until she ends up dead again, after which she becomes a Hikikomori again, and so on and so forth. She's also become a bit more mentally unstable, and may be driven to kill in perceived self-defense if the target in question is known to be a ruthless killer (or even just harbor one inside).
    • During her Hikikomori periods, Flaky made a few online friends in Futaba Sakura and Jessica Cruz, who have suffered similar phases in their life, the former from cognitive psience interference on her and her mother, and the latter from a camping disaster where her group stumbled across criminals at the worst possible moments and her friends were killed to cover their tracks. Despite relaying these stories, Flaky is too hesitant to relate given that despite all the psychological horrors they've experienced, she thinks actually experiencing death several times even before becoming a Pantheon denizen trumps them. Both human girls can see that the porcupine's phobias need a lot more treatment than can be provided by online chats alone. At the very least, Flaky does go out anyway sometimes, though the conditions to make that happen are themselves concerning.
  • During her going outside periods, Piglet and the Cowardly Lion—themselves having timid and nervous natures who try to be brave despite that—have also tried doing what they can to help her be brave (besides in Deadeye Derby). But so far progress has been slow given that she still has a lot of trauma to overcome. As explained above, unlike the toy animal and the feline, she's actually experienced death several times even before becoming a Pantheon denizen. Everyone has their work cut out for them. Piglet has even started suffering certain nightmares every time he sees Flaky die.
  • There are those who find her fear of baby chicks ridiculous. On the other hand, she accidentally killed a chick, and a bird snatched her up and used her corpse for a new nest, so there's some justification there. Others think it's actually Xanthophobia, fear of yellow, given chicks are yellow, and Cuddles—who keeps pressuring her into doing dangerous things—is also yellow. And speaking of him, given he was partially responsible for some of her deaths, this has put a wedge between them. Other fears—at inconsistent levels since she's sometimes been seen being around these no problem—include dead bodies (which are often in abundance), driving (though she does have a scooter, so it might just be cars, which she also has anyway), flying/heights, rats roller coasters, skiing (or momentum), water, sharks, toys, and massive objects. Just assume she's pantophobic, which is the fear of everything.
  • Given her terrible luck with animals, she's had varying interactions with those empathetic to them, rendering most of them (such as Eliza Thornberry and Disney!Snow White) traumatized and sometimes doubting their own abilities if they end up unable to keep Flaky safe. Out of all of them, Flaky is most comfortable (as much as she can be anyway) with the pegasus pony Fluttershy since the one time the animals under her care tried to murder her behind the animal empath's back, she was not amused and cowed the lot of them with the Stare before giving them all a scathing rant. Ever since, the porcupine tries to cling to her at all times as soon as she finds her. On the other hand, after a few of her deaths on his watch, and all the derisive comments toward him as a result, Rubeus Hagrid is starting to learn the hard way just now important it is to actually have to pay attention to how dangerous the animals he likes are for those who aren't half-giant like him.
  • Despite her interests and voice, there is somehow debate as to whether Flaky is really female, actually male, or a nascent trans person due to being hesitant on which bathroom to go to (ultimately going to the Boys' room and thus not seeing the blood of Petunia and Giggles when Russell's piranha ate them up), upon showing up at a poker game with the other females (though that can be attributed to going against one's expected reclusivenes), and because Disco Bear is on better terms with Flaky than the other girls (then again, he's never interacted with Lammy in canon).
  • Is one of the unfortunate few that the Cuccos attack unprovoked, and she's often left to die because nobody else wants to provoke them trying to get between Flaky and the devilish birds. This has also forced Linkle to come to her defense against her beloved birds whenever they cross paths, because killing someone who did them no wrong first is not a nice thing to do.
  • Is allergic to peanuts, and will swell over upon eating even one. And when poked during this state, she will burst like a balloon, spreading guts and quills all over the area, and potentially getting someone else killed. In spite of her overwhelming cautiousness, she still has to be reminded not to go near anything inflatable lest she puncture them, like she had with a lifeboat, and an emergency airplane slide. Not that she's ever going to fly on a plane ever again, but if it came down to it, she's capable of landing one. She's also deathly afraid of Godzilla, who once ate her after she finished landing that plane. He for his part has no reason to go after her specifically.
  • Doesn't understand why folks "ship" her with Flippy. After all, she was no safer around his Fliqpy persona than anyone else (when she isn't suffering from allergies), he's actually killed her once as Flippy (though she admitted deserved that after getting Lifty and Shifty killed in their only generous act), and she's even preemptively killed him once out of paranoia.

• Exclusive to Nutty:
  • Given his addiction, he's yet another denizen added to the banlist of Sugar Rush. His attempts to chow down on the citizens forced Vanellope to temporarily return to her realm with Ralph and put a stop to him. Nutty has also gone after Princess Bubblegum, who managed to handle herself just fine, and his second attempt was thwarted by Marceline, who accidentally killed him due to how easy it is to do. He has not learned his lesson and continues pursuing his candy. Nutty's addiction is so bad that he'll even take candy from a baby. Just ask Pop when he saw the squirrel steal right from Cub, even tearing his face off in the process. He also found himself banned from the House of Food several times due to his addiction and damage his mania for sweets have caused.
  • He's also harassed Pinkie Pie whenever he tries to take a bite out of her, given her hair looks like cotton candy. She usually doesn't mind if he gets her tail or even her mane, but if he bites into fur and skin, even she's not tolerant of that, though had to suffer mental trauma whenever she ends up accidentally killing him, which is too easy to do. And the Equestria Girls iteration handles it no better, since if he ends up chomping on something sugary she was about to blow up with her powers, she can always expect to see chunks fly. None of the other deities with a Sweet Tooth find him fun either, and his addiction to sugar is so bad it even makes AA-12 look behaved.
  • When it comes to beehives, Nutty actually shows craftiness and doesn't recklessly crack it open (and thus get stung to death by the bees). Instead, he uses a straw, plugs that in, and drinks through there. Pooh Bear once saw him doing that and was inspired to mimic the squirrel's technique. Apples are the only food he won't eat, but even then, he's seen wearing a candy apple on his head (among other sweets), though probably only wearing them.
  • Out of all the Tree Friends, the only ones who like him are Toothy, Lumpy (and even those gets contested at times), and Sniffles, whom he actually curbs his candy addiction around that he'sonly allowedin the House of Food if Sniffles is with him. Speaking of his addiction, even he knows to stay quiet in the library despite that, and will do so as long as no candy enters his sights. In fact, he's a decent guy when there's no candy to go for and when he's had his fill for the hour.
  • Nutty seeing brightly colored objects as candy is actually a physical problem rather than just a mental problem, as shown when part of his eyes ends up being "worn" by Russell. And even if for whatever reason he's forcibly cured of his candy addiction, he'll just find another mania, like video games, and it's not certain which is worse.

• Exclusive to Handy:
  • Given his lack of hands, various deities have assigned him with prosthetics, but the circumstances always have him keep losing them. Still, even without them, he's actually very capable of construction of all kinds; he just needs to be unobserved to do so. One has to wonder just how recently he's lost his hands per resurrection to keep forgetting he no longer has them. Some folks have also considered giving Handy a new helmet, given his hard hat sometimes does absolutely nothing to protect his head.
  • Out of the normal Tree Friends, Handy tends to be callous and apathetic at seeing death occur near him (as long as it's not at him). He may even laugh at such demises, though it usually leads to him being next on the chopping block. The only exceptions are the Mole (the closest thing he has to a friend), Petunia (who is his Love Interest), and Giggles (among the few that Handy appears to regularly respect or even be fond of, though they're only friends and nothing more).
  • As stated before, given his condition, Handy is a frequent visitor of the Hall of Disabilities, and is friends with Rin Tezuka of the Katawa Girls, given she also handless—no, armless—and hopes to teach Handy how to use his feet (small they may be) to do stuff if he decides not to go with arm prosthetics. He's also been seen in the House of Craft, but the deities there are worried that he might injure himself and tried to help him if they can, with mixed results.

• Exclusive to Mime:
  • Given his job profession, Mime spends his time performing all over the streets in the Pantheon, though he now knows to avoid certain areas where he ends up dead frequently, now that he remembers them all. He's also capable of one-hand juggling, snake-charming a loose bandage and rope, other circus skills, and making balloon objects.
  • Mime resides in a tent that's Bigger on the Inside, looking like a regular house with invisible/imaginary furniture. While some of his mimed items are really just imaginary, a few of them are actually real albeit invisible, like when Lifty and Shifty once stole his safe (even when they expressed confusion over its existence). He's even done some obviously impossible things, such as making an audible honking sound while riding a unicycle, and making noises while interacting with his "imaginary" furniture. He also likes eating peanuts, to the point of risking his hand in a blender to eat them. He can even mime them, and they actually make crunchy noises.
  • Given his dedication not to speak (yes, he's not actually mute), even when in excruciating pain or while dying, he's not allowed to use any phone without video features on them. He's also required to stay away from the Mole for their muteness and blindness respectively mean the latter can get the former killed several times.

• Exclusive to Lifty and Shifty:
  • One would think that their impoverished lifestyle is what leads to them stealing, but turns out even without that excuse, they've always been kleptomaniacs. Ever since the memories of the betrayals, Shifty has been forced to do his heists without Lifty after the hat-less brother decided to strike out on his own, unable to keep on caring for his brother for so long. Both still end up together when conspiring with similar thieving comrades, and things end up tense between them whenever that happens. Of course, as thieves, they've made connections in the Hall of Thieves, though Shifty has less success with making friends than Lifty due to his track record of betraying his own brother, and there are those who don't wish to associate with them at all, such as Aladdin and Mr. Fox. Naturally, this has gotten them in trouble with the TPPD, usually by Officers Hopps and Wilde, though they're usually severaly injured or even dead by the time the raccoons are cornered, assuming they're even together.
  • They continue stealing from the other Tree Friends, and their usual victims are Cuddles, Toothy, and Lumpy, though the last one has proven capable of getting back at them. They're obviously on bad terms with most of the Tree Friends due to this, but Disco Bear is neutral with them after they sold him hair growth tonics (which may or may not have been stolen elsewhere) that actually worked as intended. The only reason he died is because he misused the tonics. While about as fragile as the rest of the Tree Friends, Lifty and Shifty have shown surprising feats of strength, together/solo, such as completely overpowering a Tree Friend of their size each, carrying a cow effortlessly, and lifting an elephant (albeit with the help of a pulley system). Between the two, Lifty is actually the stronger one, being able to overpower his brother. They're also have a knack for car building.

• Exclusive to Russell:
  • Sometimes, when put in a scary or violent situation, Russell will go insane and start laughing in a crazy manner as his pupil will turn small, will look quite "shocked" or stressed, and start slashing at stuff with his hook. However, since he's been alone both times he's ended up like this on-screen, it's not known if he would chase targets to kill like Fliqpy does. Besides only having one eye, his other has been getting blurry, requiring contact lenses. After the stressful session when Lumpy performed his first application, he's started looking for other optometrists.
  • Just because he looks like a pirate, even if he's never committed any piracy (and was stopped from doing the digital kind after a lesson at Youtube Copyright School), he's faced constant attacks from and deaths by Peter Pan. Speaking of Copyright School, he also opposes digital piracy as a result. He's also made company with other pirates such as the Turners, the Straw Hat Pirates and those they've crossed paths with, Peter Pan's archnemesis Captain Hook, and Risky Boots.

• Exclusive to Disco Bear:
  • True to his name, Disco Bear can occasionally be seen in the Dance Hall reliving his glory days. He's even made friends with Elvis Presley because he likes his style despite them being in different music genres (also, Elvis likes food and is a bit on the chubby side). Besides disco dancing, which was how he made most of his wealth back in the day, he is also talented at roller skating, downhill skiing, and throwing frisbees long distances, and partaking in these activities at the House of Sports. He's also regularly seen trying to pick up various females in the Pantheon, particularly at the House of Love and Affection, to no success and sometimes even ending in his own death, though he has made a friend there by the name of Johnny Bravo. That said, Disco Bear is able to act professional, but only if there are zero (perceived) females in range.
  • Was asked once if he knew if Flaky was actually male given he never flirts with the porcupine as much as he does with Giggles and Petunia. Then again, he has yet to interact with Lammy in canon, though given Mr. Pickels kills any extra friends she tries to make, romance would be out the window from the get-go. As for his response, Disco Bear excuses that he has some high standards that Flaky doesn't meet but Giggles and Petunia do.
  • Eating deep fried food can be bad enough, but nobody's giving him a stick of butter or letting him near a deep fryer ever again after the last time he stuck one in to deep fry. The House of Food has taken note of this and made sure he does not get anything like that.

• Exclusive to Cro-Marmot:
  • Allegedly, he's an accomplished writer, painter, and pianist. Also, he has his own brand of foot powder, held a tour on Broadway, is known for his loud antics and energetic performances, and had been titled "Sexiest Happy Tree Friend" in 1992. The last part definitely has some merit, as Giggles and Petunia have dated him at least once. And like Handy, when not focused on, Cro-Marmot is capable of doing stuff, and his main job is as an ice cream truck driver.
  • His ice cube is able to freeze the water around him. He can probably even freeze fire in a room he's in (in addition to the room itself). And when that melts, it becomes burning fire again. It's been theorized that Cro-Marmot might be a cryokinetic, and that his ice cube is his protection against the outside world. That said, there are threats in the Pantheon capable of melting his ice block. It's not known what would actually happen to him, but in the Pantheon, if whatever melts/goes through his ice doesn't also definitively kill him as well, Cro-Marmot will emerge no worse for wear and be like he was during the Dino-Sore Days. And not only will he exhibit his caveman skills, he'll still be packing his cryokinesis, though usually just to encase himself in ice again.
  • Being a caveman, he's been approached by Fred Flintstone and Loana on separate occasions, the former when he decided to order some ice cream, and the latter during some unknown shenanigans that led to his ice cube at her tribe's location. The Shell and Rock Tribes Loana is with tried to break him out of his ice, and it ended with Cro-Marmot coming out of it no worse for wear and immediately fleeing, causing a short chase before the tribes decided he wasn't wortht the effort. As for the Flintstone, Fred reminisced on the time he was encased in ice before the idiot kid Billy broke him out, then went ahead and purchased the cold dish in an edible cone.

• Exclusive to Flippy and Fliqpy:
  • The reason for Flippy's condition comes from his days at W.A.R. (Weaponized Animal Regiment). He screwed up one mission that ended with his comrades killed (by disasters of his own doing), and him hiding inside one of their worm-filled bodies. This is where Fliqpy was born, and who accomplished the mission in an extremely bloody fashion. Now fully aware of his condition of being two personalities in a single body, Flippy takes great care to stay away from everybody else (especially Lumpy, whom Fliqpy seems more obsessed with killing out of everyone else, though the moose visits anyway and has proven able to handle himself better than everyone else other than Splendid), given there are very few in the civilian sector readily able to take on Fliqpy before he takes over and starts killing everyone in sight. Somewhat paradoxically, he's decided to sign up for battle again, and to get dropped in places where he can do a lot of mayhem as Fliqpy. Given his condition, some people have compared his dynamic with Bruce Banner and the Hulk, and Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde.
  • Unfortunately, trying to avoid his Berserk Buttons is like trying to navigate a minefield, and where even the slightest gust can set off a chain reaction. So far, his triggers have been: gunfire "sounds" (a woodpecker, backfiring vehicles, bursting balloons, bursting stress relief toy, popping a champagne bottle, a starting pistol), fire (campfires or fire-breathing), ketchup (though blood itself isn't a trigger, as he didn't flip out when Flaky got wounded once, and he was driven to try and treat her), flashing lights akin to muzzle flashes, being tied up (reminiscent of enemy capture), airplanes (if reminiscent of Air Force planes), explosion images (even Rorschach ink blots thereof), dreaming of Fliqpy killing him, fire alarms (akin to bomb warning sirens), and smoke (reminder of a lost comrade dead from war chemicals melting his face). With many of these things being common, he's all but guaranteed to flip out at some point.
    • And upon ascension to the Pantheon, one can include tigers in the list, given the Tiger Army and the Tiger General he fought during the WAR. And naturally, any form of evil scum is more likely to trigger Flippy's "berserk minefield" and make him Flip Out on them… and everyone else in the area once he's through with them, unless Fliqpy himself is dead by then. In contrast, the only known method to revert Fliqpy to Flippy is to surprise him, such as something bursting/exploding, a scream of distress (though that may sometimes not work), splashing water on him, or seeing a butterfly close up.
  • Apart from a Bowie knife and grenades, Fliqpy often uses improvised weapons out of anything nearby (he can even slash throats with his Christmas cookies), and is highly proficient at making Viet Cong-style traps. While he hasn't used any firearms in the show, he will not hesitate to use them in the Pantheon now that they're available. He also once stopped the blades of a (carnival ride) biplane with his bare hands during a flip-out.
  • Despite his regular killing sprees, for some reason, Fliqpy explicitly ignores the disabled and those suffering allergic reactions. It's been assumed that he maintains some form of soldier moral code, though some with Shipping Goggles have also chalked it up to an attraction towards Flaky (who once suffered a peanut allergy and was at his mercy, but Fliqpy ignored her [and the Mole] for other targets). He also avoids killing very young children, at the very least, having once merely pushed Cub out of a tricycle he intended to use himself. Speaking of that tricycle, if Fliqpy ever dies by lightning while holding something, his soul will transfer to that object and he can move it around. And he (probably) Would Hurt a Child in this state. Given most of the Tree Friends are civilians, very few can put up a good fight against Fliqpy. One of them is Lumpy (the only one with more kills than him), and the other is Splendid (hence why they never clashed in show canon).
  • Has an allergy to peanuts, or perhaps it's an allergy to venison, since he got swollen lips only after drinking blended Mime (who is a deer), who had peanuts before dying to Fliqpy. He also loves chocolate chip cookies. Besides collecting weapons in his bunker-house, he likes flowers, tea parties, pink penguins, and unicorns/alicorns. According to the "Collect Them All" section (From the "First Blood" DVD), Flippy also knits sweaters.
  • Apparently, Fliqpy is acting under the delusion that he is still in the war and does not realize that he is killing innocent people. In light of this, after Ren Amamiya barely managed to survive a Fliqpy Flip-Out, the Phantom Thieves of Hearts are contemplating giving Flippy a Calling Card... as soon as they can determine if Fliqpy's psyche is accessible from Flippy's potential Palace. Raz has also contemplated entering Flippy's mind after his own run-in with Fliqpy, though will ask for Flippy's consent first of course. Flippy himself has also decided to take more therapy sessions to get his Flipqy side under control, since his previous one was Lumpy. This naturally leads him to Frasier Crane, even though Flippy is afraid of Flipping Out in front of him, killing the psychologist, and rendering Crane unwilling to work with him. Bruce Banner has considered helping in his stead, since at least he can handle Fliqpy as the Hulk.
  • Has a complicated relationship with Rambo, as the old soldier both pities and has tried to help Flippy, yet at the same has had to fight him when he Flips Out into Fliqpy. Rambo is perhaps the one deity Flippy can relate to the most, and always finds his company comforting, though the old soldier just prefers to remain quiet as he himself wants some peace. Flippy's relationship with Steven Universe is a bit better, as he's also been through massive trauma even without being in a traditional war, but still get a bit violent sometimes. There are no worries however thanks to being easily subdued with a bubble around himself (Steven or Fliqpy?Yes, either by the Gem keeping himself safe or by keeping the bear trapped). While he never been to a war himself, Steven has been into so much traumatic experiences that he developed PTSD and that he once corrupted into kaiju. He gets better this tho and wants to help Flippy with his PTSD, progress is slow tho. It helps that he has fighting experience so he could likely handle himself or call on the Crystal Gems for backup should Flippy flip out.

• Exclusive to Splendid:
  • Splendid's superpowers include levitation, flight, heat vision, super strength, super speed, supersonic hearing, super durability, a large lung capacity, shock wave-inducing voice, an ice breath, telescopic vision, unlimited stamina, and extremely large farts. Splendid's freezing breath and heat vision also have a unique property: rather than melt the ice, victims frozen by his breath, then struck by his lasers, are shattered into cube-shaped pieces. While not doing superhero work, he works as a newspaper reporter, disguising himself with a pair of eyeglasses, a necktie, and a fedora, even though he still wears his red mask behind his glasses. But even without it, he's recognized just for being a blue flying squirrel. There are those who think he should just stick to this job. Still, he was signed up at the Superhero Division anyway, where he can be guided more properly in regards to being a superhero, especially by Superman, whom Splendid is based on, including specific mineral weaknesses. Splendid for his part finds them tiring, and hopes to just leave it all to them; the only reason he felt he had to do hero work was because there was no one else who can, even if it doesn't excuse his half-assed efforts in doing that.
  • With stronger villains than Lifty, Shifty, and Fliqpy in the Pantheon, as well as Word of God stating that the Krypto-Nut isn't his only weakness, Splendid has started suffering more deaths, especially from those who don't need to kill his body from the outside (such as psychic powers, inducing sickness, mind control, magic curses, etc.). Naturally, as a colossal failure of a hero, Stain holds him with extreme contempt for even trying. As far as he's concerned, Splendid should always give his 100% into the job. If only he could find something more than just the Krypto-Nut to make Splendid bleed and dance to his tune… Despite his being a disgrace as a hero, despite all the damage and gore he causes, he is still a hero, and that means being in opposition to villains such as the Plutonian, Homelander, and Regime Superman.
  • Even despite his faults, Toothy idolizes Splendid more than anyone else, and Sniffles is a close second, enough to be paired with him even. For some inexplicable reason, he outright hates the Mole. Not only is he impatient with him for several reasons, he's also the only innocent that the super squirrel deliberately murdered. And ever since he killed a Santa Claus (even if it was just Lumpy), not to mention just how many deaths he's caused by not doing so, Splendid has been required to always watch where he's going, and Santas come with directional speakers to alert him if he's being inattentive.

• Applies to Lammy and/or Mr. Pickels:
  • Due to the existence of Mr. Pickels, Lammy has been forced into isolation, though she doesn't mind as long as Mr. Pickels is by her side. The absolute safest anyone can interact with her is online, where Mr. Pickels has to go really out of his way to frame Lammy, and he prefers to still be interpreted as Lammy's imaginary friend. That said, given he was chomped off by a vampire (portrayed by Lumpy), and once killed Flaky without Lammy being present in the area, Mr. Pickels might be more than just a figment of Lammy's delusions. This however means that Lammy is deliberately keeping him around even knowing what he does, for reasons unknown, even if she justifiably throws him under the bus whenever she catches him committing murder.
  • Being fellow imaginary friends (if Mr. Pickels even is), Bloo and his pals disapprove of the pickle's actions and wants Lammy to just dump him. This usually ends with Mr. Pickels trying to kill them, though with less success as they are nowhere near as fragile as the Tree Friends. As for other sheep in the Pantheon, Shaun the Sheep tried to be friends but had to stop after getting murdered a few times by Mr. Pickels, Dawn Bellwether tried to curry favor with Lammy as well over on online chat, but the former assistant mayor ended up dead the next day for "mysterious reasons", and Lammy trying to deny it wasn't her even with the other sheep's blood on her.

Well, for one, the opinions of Alan Grant and Ian Malcolm have to be changed, and Blue of the Raptor Pack should have her kid be added as a Herald.

So now that Jurassic World Dominion is out of the Hype Prevention Sandbox, does anyone have any good ideas for incorporating it into the pantheon

@ Strong Bad: I'd be interested to see how he and Deadpool would interact with each other

@Dood Slayer 136

• Egotists: On the top of my head, I can see him butting head with Master Shake of Aqua Teen Hunger Force and Daffy Duck. You can also check It's All About Me for more ideas.
• Characters/IRL People who answered fan mail (I assumed frequently): Jackie Chan (answers fan mail IRL on Jackie Chan Adventures), Stan Lee and Jack Kirby (I think they have comic sections where they answer reader's questions about the stories or characters), A modern version of Elizabeth Bennet sometimes answers fan mail on her webshow, The Satellite of Love Crew answers fanmail (who are usually kids).
  • Both Garfield and Sonic used to answer fan mail in their comics but I don't think they do it recently. The former had a running gag about it while the latter had a comic section where the responses were presented as coming from the blue hedgehog himself.

@UdtheImp — You can add allies for Heisenberg if you want to. Keep in mind that once a character is ascended, their profiles are free to be edited anytime, so long as the edits make sense.

@nightelf — for the Happy Tree Friends.

@DoodSlayer — Reading through Strong Bad's character profile, perhaps you can also mention some additional details like how he's a metalhead and enjoys playing retro-style video games, which could lead to him occasionally visiting the Houses of Musicality and Gaming. Corey Taylor of Slipknot and Stone Sour has wrestled before and is even friends with a number of wrestlers, so an interaction with him is possible, as would a number of wrestlers, particularly Masked Luchadors.

@MarvelFan2003 — I might rework Rexie once I get the opportunity. As for new ideas regarding ascensions, the only ones I can be somewhat confident on are either Owen and Claire (I initially considered them for Uptight Loves Wild and gave the idea to VengefulBale, though we agreed to switch it to Token Romance and keep them on hold until Dominion) and the Campers (which are still on hold until two months pass after Camp Creataceous's conclusion). Other than them, I don't really have much confidence in the other characters, especially the dinosaurs as most of them don't have much characterization to make them distinctive from other dinosaurs from other franchises/works (the Giganotosaurus could fit Designated Villain, but then so can a lot of other antagonists, dinosaurs included). As for the humans, I guess the only viable ones I could think of, discounting the aforementioned ones, that might have a chance are Lewis Dodgson, Henry Wu, and Maisie Lockwood, and that's only because the former two are the most notable antagonists in the story (and thus, have a lot of influence in the series) and the latter actually has a book series that focuses on her own adventures. But like I said, my expectations, in this case, are rather low for now.

• Robin Hood is a well known folk hero in which he robs from the richest of the rich, and gives to the unrighteously taxed, especially the poor. While the are varying accounts on where his origin of the folk tale came, the most commonly cited source is William Langland's fourteenth century poem Piers Plowman, and even that referenced an much earlier source. Even his backstory is complicated; While he is known for perfecting and popularizing the Archer Archetype, he is also rumored to have been once a Crusader who became an outlaw after he returned to England to find his lands taken by the Sheriff of Nottingham.
• It wasn't long before he went by his usual business: using his Merry Men to steal from the rich. One would think that he would struggle in a modern environment, but he has been surprisingly effective at his task. As such he is a constant threat for evil deities in the House of Commerce.
• Judge Dredd placed a huge bounty on bringing in the thief. While he doesn't mind bounty hunters to find him, Dredd would prefer to handle his punishment personally. Robin Hood merely sees it as an extra challenge to overcome in his quest.
• Robin Hood made his ascension by stealing not just the riches of Tywin Lannister, but also his gilded armor, which shocked the Pantheon, given that no one was able to steal from House Lannister and get away with it.
• Seto Kaiba became his natural enemy because of the aforementioned robbing from the rich. Not helping was his Jerkass attitude back then even before he made a Heel–Face Turn.
• Is a bit miffed at Carmen Sandiego for stealing his previous title as well as Sherwood Forest. Fortunately, he at least managed to steal the forest back, and although intellectually he knows that he should be angry, he doesn't really hold it against her. He also teams up on her on rare occasions whenever he runs into a really tough job that interests her.
• Amongst other thieves in the Pantheon, he has been most fond of Omar Little of Baltimore. He finds the street criminal's code of selective targets to be fair for the people he protects, despite the body count he has at times. He is also one of the few people brave enough to shake Omar's hand without running away in fright. Omar himself respects the archer and provides extra men for him on occasion.
• Finds Felicia to be absolutely intoxicating as well as much of her cat burglar followers. With that said, the Black Cat isn't above stealing the same targets as Robin Hood. The two have made it a game of sorts to see who can steal their prizes first.
• He found out that prior to their timeline getting rebooted twice, Star Fox used to be freedom-fighting bandits on Venom before returning to Corneria, though given the nature of their past, this can be a probable backstory. He respects them regardless of this.
• His preferred avatars are Errol Flynn, Kevin Costner and Cary Elwes. But sometimes, he appears as an anthropomorphic fox. Another one is only used when Robin wants to avert pursuers, hoping he will be taken for Maximus or Javert. His servant form is mostly seen when summoned for an Holy Grail War, though that version is one of many people that have taken the mantle of Robin Hood.
  • Speaking of his servant form, he doesn't really like EMIYA that much because of how similar they are in terms of backstory.
• It may not be known by that many people, but Dick Grayson chose the name 'Robin' not due to the bird, but in homage of Robin Hood. So he was pleased to meet his inspiration once he arrived at the Pantheon. It was little surprise that Grayson liked the Errol Flynn version the most.
• Sonic also finds his attitude to be a pleasure to watch. There is one version of him where he modeled a group of Freedom Fighters after Robin's group.
• Tips his hat to Jerry for helping him escape prison, willing to help the mouse out of any jams. Tom wasn't to pleased with that given that keeping watch over Robin Hood was his responsibility. Now Tom has to be wary with a stray arrow that may come his way.
• Is amused whenever Yogi Bear brings out the Robin Hood outfit when he swipes picnic baskets from unsuspecting camper. He has no qualm with animals seeking for enticing food.
• It was a warm reunion of sorts when he came face-to-face with Samurai Jack. It was he who taught the samurai how to use the bow and arrow to perfection. While his initial failure likely doomed that version of him, Robin Hood was glad that his friend finally completed his mission.
• Upon hearing that Elizabeth Bathory had ascended to the Pantheon, he quickly shrived up in fear... Not because of the Blood Baths, but because of her music, and also because of a certain incident back then.
  • He also tries to avoid B.B. as much as possible, due to her threatening to turn him into a pig unless he wore a swimsuit during the Servant Summer Festival of 2018.
• Has a deep respect for Sean Connery, who portrayed him once. Also likes Daffy Duck, even if his portrayal was a bumbling one.
• Q was delighted to see Robin Hood in the flesh. The omnipotent being had always believed that the legends were true. The revelation only brought more headaches for Picard. He hopes never to have to reenact those events ever again.
• For Wishbone, Robin Hood is yet another literary figure come to life. He saw a part of the archer's story in his owner Joe when he wanted to give leftovers to a homeless shelter. Robin Hood for his part thought Wishbone looked great in his costume.
• He is rivals with Green Arrow, Hawkeye, Katniss Everdeen, Legolas, and Decidueye, due to their expertise in archery, even moreso with Green Arrow since he was inspired by him. It would be not an uncommon sight to see an archery competition happen between them once in a while. Hawkeye used to be cocky calling himself the 'superior Robin Hood', but has since mellowed out and became more respectful of the legend.
  • His relationship with Katniss is one of pity. He knows that she never sought to be a freedom fighter and that she was manipulated into joining that cause. He promised not to bring Katniss into any of his adventures unless she wanted to.
  • He is also friendly rivals with the Sly Cooper gang when Robin is in his fox form, given that they are both thieves that work for the side of good. This unfortunately also has made him a (thankfully friendly) enemy of Carmelita Fox, due to her seeing his thievery as equal to a good amount of years in prison.
  • He is also rivals with Artemis, though while she respects his archery skills, she is appalled that he committed "poachery" at King Richard's royal grounds.
• Once heard that Goro Akechi had a Persona named after him, and that caused him to be interested at the Crow. However, it quickly turned into disappointment when he learned that not only he happened to be the traitor of the Phantom Thieves, his actual Persona was Loki. While he could understand his angst, he is still pretty sore on him, likely because it often reminded him of the people that betrayed him even though he helped them.
• According to his Merry Men, real men wear tights, to the point where they made a song and dance about men in tights.
• In an alternate universe, Robin Hood was not an Englishman, but a full-blown French Jerk who attempted to take on Fiona, but was instantly beaten up along with his Merry men. He doesn't want to talk about it.
• Was not pleased to see Lord Blackadder in the Pantheon. For once, he had his Merry Men turned against him and ruined England as a result. Even when he set time back to (mostly) normal, he couldn't help but recognize the woman he is with as Maid Marian. Robin Hood demanded answers as to what happened, but Blackadder has been coy with the details.
• Pink Panther gave Robin Hood the stinkeye when he arrived at the Pantheon, but that was for a different reason. The Panther joined one of his merry men and tried to break the Little Man out of prison. It didn't work out for him. When Robin Hood tried to break him out, he ended up getting captured as well. While they eventually did get out of prison, the Pink Panther remains disillusioned with the legend.
• His presence is a mystery to the Doctor to this day. The Time Lord did not believe that Robin Hood existed in their reality yet Robin Hood ended up being real. When asked how that was possible, Robin Hood smirked and walked away. The Doctor remains ever vigilant in the hopes of figuring out how could it be possible.

To me, a lot of the flavor texts are a bit on the short side and need an expansion. Generally, the accepted minimum is 3-4 lines, so if you see a part that's a little too short and sparse, don't be afraid to expand on it.
