Jonathan Kent i see would need a rework since Brian Michael Bandis decided to ruin him.

HAPPY 8000th PAGE EVERYBODY!

Halfway there to beat the politics forums with our own politics

Not finished with this but the dialogue is wordy because of the Motive Rant trope. Know I need to cut a few lines. Also Skull Face is funny for how long he monologues

You hope hatred might someday replace the pain, but it never goes away.

• There was a former Soviet Union citizen whose legacy was erased by history. Burned figuratively and literally by the government sworn to uplift those like him, this young man would grow to become a spymaster and assassin for the Soviets. His targets reached the highest seat of power within the nation and caught the attention of David Oh. Oh, who would be more known as Zero would recruit Skull Face to be the XO of XOF, the covert support unit of FOX. Zero would trust Skull Face to lead covert forces in secretive assignments. Such assignments include the Virtuous Mission and Operation Snake Eater where XOF forces led by Skull Face discretely handle whatever XOF's agent, Naked Snake, leaves behind. Over the coming years when Zero led the highly influential organization Cipher, Skull Face would resent both Zero and Big Boss for reaping the rewards of their success as he remained in the shadows. This ultimately led to Skull Face leading XOF to destroy the Mother Base of Militaires Sans Frontières, the mercenary army that Big Boss led in The '70s and bringing Big Boss to a subsequent coma in the process. Despite being reprimanded for his actions by Zero, Skull Face successfully poisoned Zero and overtook Cipher's assets. Skull Face pursued research on parasites and Metal Gears, intending to bring world peace by removing common tongues and bringing nuclear deterrence through his Metal Gears. But he and his XOF army were stopped by Diamond Dogs led by Venom Snake, granting him a painful death by those he wronged. His character may have been forgotten by the passage of time, but his actions have led to the horrific world controlled by the Patriots. His phantom lives on, his meme...
• It should be said Skull Face had to allude to Big Boss on their history and his intentions by giving dramatic speeches whenever their paths crossed. When Skull Face finally explained who he was and what he wished to do, it took an entire car ride from one end of Afghanistan to another. And he gave it to the wrong Snake. Skull Face when being brought back was enraged that Big Boss did not even bother with confronting him over killing nearly all of him and Miller's men. This actually makes him madder than his plans failing, as he sees Big Boss as his obstacle to overcome before being acknowledged across history as he is. Fittingly enough, all traces of Skull Face were erased when the Cipher turned into the Patriots, likely as retaliation for his actions. Skull Face accepted that he will be forgotten but he will now remind everybody of his name again. A world that owes him for peace is what he desires most.
  Skull Face: Cipher will rewrite the records... and I will vanish from human memory. But... The thirst for revenge I have planted will infest the system! No one can stop it now! Sahelanthropus will unleash that thirst unto the future. Major... I'm burning up!
• Aside from the Metal Gears that he wanted to sell to countries so as to weaken the world superpowers, Skull Face had a weapon that would surpass Metal Gear. They are parasites, ancient symbiotes that could grant supernatural abilities or vocal ethnic cleansers. The "one that covers" parasite inhabited at least half the members of the Cobra Unit, eventually being transplanted to XOF's extremely powerful Parasite Unit. The "curse of the forked tongue" vocal cord parasites infected people's throats upon speaking the parasite's exposed language, killing the host by breaking their bodies down gradually. The vocal cord parasites were intended to be used by Skull Face as a biological weapon to destroy the dominant language of the world, that being English. With lingua franca gone combined with the nuclear deterrence Metal Gears would create, Skull Face believed that conflict would cease across the world. Diamond Dogs destroyed his plans though, making his theory of deterrence unable to be tested. Diamond Dogs did not destroy all the parasites, as between him sending Big Boss comatose and confronting Venom Snake in Afghanistan, Skull Face infected himself with every known parasite besides English. That makes him a walking biological weapon, as speaking in a different language would cause a gigantic epidemic that would engulf the world. Granted, Skull Face considers this a nuclear option considering it will kill him too. He holds onto his hatred for being forced only to speak in the linguistics that deprived him of his individuality, and his culture.
  Eiki Shiki: Okay, Skull Face, an internet user telling someone to learn better English isn't comparable to actual English-bred oppression.
  Skull Face: And do you believe Nazi labor camps and antisemitic rants are not similar?
  Eiki Shiki: Y-yes? But I do admit they overlap.
  Skull Face: And informing me, a victim of English's parasitism, that conforming to English is not along the same lines as colonialism? These... Translator Microbes you force upon me, upon everyone to speak in designated languages only furthers the divide. I cannot listen or speak in my own language, not because of the vocal cord parasites, but because these parasites you set in me.
  Eiki Shiki: Alright, I'll give you a formal request to have your microbes removed.
  Skull Face: No... I'm going to bring unity back to the world that you are taking away by forcing men to heed sans lingua franca. Listen to my words you fear will be used against you. Azt javaslom, hogy tanuljon meg jobban angolul beszélni és írni-
  Eiki Shiki immediately takes out a gun and shoots Skull Face in the chest.
  Skull Face: And so your fears overcomes you.
  Skull Face collapses onto the floor.
• Though the assets that he took from Zero may be gone, Skull Face is still one of the better spymasters out there, arguably even better at the job than Ocelot as Skull Face hid his presence for so long. There are so many groups he could manipulate as he did with the Soviets whom he rewarded by setting the vocal cord parasites on them. That was for his village and his face. His goals remain the same as they are, though wants to ensure the wider scope of the Pantheon does not come into conflict by ensuring cultures do not compete or overcome. He has already amassed more than a few followers to reform XOF and aims to do more research on parasites and Metal Gears. Hunting down Zero is also a priority even though Skull Face believes the man's influential prime is past him.
  • Disturbingly, Skull Face may have been the closest to having the Boss's will that Big Boss concluded. Skull Face's plan would preserve the world the way it was and force cultures to respect each other. This extreme plan had so many rooms to go wrong, yet Skull Face is entirely faithful to his philosophy. Speaking of the Boss, Zero kept XOF's existence from her when he formed FOX. She did not know he existed until her death.
• Skull Face has very little to say about the sons of Big Boss if he paid attention to them, he would have pursued them when he took control of Cipher. Now that they have grown up, Skull Face wishes he did consider they grew up to be strong soldiers as Big Boss was. Two of those sons grew to spread Metal Gears throughout the world, while another dedicated his life to dismantling them. Skull Face would be more negative if he found out Liquid was essentially why he died. Liquid's hatred for Big Boss was so strong, it overrode his control over the Third Child which led to Sahelanthropus and the Man on Fire going psychotic. Liquid would get more into the Metal Gear side of Skull Face's future than the parasites (Eli has bad experiences with parasites), another terrible seed Skull Face would plant for the future.
• Umbrella Corporation was the first people to be interested in Skull Face's ambitions. Not that they want the world peace that Skull Face desires but rather, seeing the vocal cord parasites as a new form the t-virus could potentially take. If they could weaponize language itself, then they can have carriers from every corner of the world without it being obvious they are infected. William Birkin has been more than interested in what both parasites can offer while Jack Krauser wishes to enhance himself with parasites. The only reason that Umbrella does not simply rip the parasites in Skull Face's corpse is that Skull Face could easily set the virus on them if they are not careful. As long as they fund the Metal Gears that Skull Face is offering, [[surely, Skull Face is aware of their benevolence and that his sacrifice is just their means to an end.]]
  • Additionally, those like Typhus have been more than accommodating with helping Skull Face's research out by targeting tongues themselves. Although Typhus is more confused as to why Skull Face does not adapt the virus to target ethnicities in general. Skull Face would reply that his parasites are not ethnic cleansers. They are peace.
• Although he is aware of the hypocrisy that came with him taking control of Cipher, Skull Face has a heavy dislike for despots whose ends are to remove the autonomy of cultures. The United States did so by controlling nations through the corrupt governments they established. The Soviet Union wanted all nations to be absorbed in its Russian collectivism. The Philosophers fought over supremacy on who controlled the world. Zero wanted the mindless masses to believe his controlled presentation. Skull Face sees Big Brother and the Friend guilty of these most, seeing as their tyranny wanted a unified world governed by one instead of a unified world by finding commonality. He finds them despicable as a result.
  Skull Face: I have seen the oppression from the West and the East promoted. Whether was under the guise of capitalism or under the guise of communism, they were not dissimilar to what they wished to portray themselves. Both enjoyed power, feeding on the tribalistic love they bred from nationalism. If they did not have foes to despise, then they would turn to find enemies within themselves. I see that you wish for conformity in your society. Ironic that although "self" is something that you yourself fashioned, every time something goes wrong, you turn around and place the blame on something else. Whether that be the times, nations, ethnicities, or the world, societies will search for excuses to continue bigotry. That is why I, a man who has lost his culture, must be the driver who shall end imperialism.
• Upon learning about the Hinamizawa Syndrome during his research into parasites, a disease that brings delusions and stress to its victims. He went to visit the Japanese town, taking in the sights and beauty of the village before having his men storm the only medical clinic in Hinamizawa to discover any notes to the town's curse. What Skull Face found underneath the clinic was a plethora of research on the Hinamizawa Syndrome and its transmitter being parasites. Skull Face then discovered that these parasites were funded as a weapon by the Japanese government funding fell through, making the XOF leader restart that research. Setting up a new research facility in the town with the townspeople not noticing was easy with his influence, though it would not take long for someone to stumble on his scheme.
  Keiichi: Why... are you keeping me here?
  Skull Face: Because Maebara, I want to see how far I can take this disease. According to Takano's notes, there are five levels to the Hinamizawa Syndrome and you have already experienced its full effects. But what if I were to add more levels?
  Keiichi: Y-you can't! You won't...!
  Skull Face: Be calm. I will give you a vaccine after I see what the effects are. You may feel... a sting as doctors call it.
• A certain walking biological weapon that Skull Face has his interest peaked is Alex Mercer who is a walking plague that also has the most grotesque physical mutations Skull Face has ever seen. Seeing what Alex Mercer does has been a pastime for Skull Face, wondering if whatever Mercer is can be imbued to the parasites his SKULLS use. XOF having a squadron of Alex Mercers at the beck and call is a nightmare scenario that nobody wants to see happen considering that Skull Face is a big threat without the SKULLS present. Speaking of his Parasite Unit, Skull Face lost them after XOF fell though is trying to find the bodies to fill those ranks. Lots of torture and experimentation will be involved, that is for certain.
• Being a former agent before becoming an XO, Skull Face had to brush back up on his espionage skills. He relearned quickly, enough to go confront James Bond and almost kill the famous agent in a shootout. He might not have the inherent strength or direct combative skills as Big Boss, but his drive brings makes him similarly dangerous. As a favor to his Umbrella friends, Skull Face went to confront Chris Redfield with his XOF unit. His confrontation with Chris was surprisingly neutral than one-sided, with both being quite cautious with each as they drew knives at each other. Skull Face was willing to use a shotgun when their duel escalated though his men dragged him away.
  Skull Face: Bring me back! I did not learn CQC just to be dragged away from a battle!
  XOF soldier: Sir, that man can punch boulders.
  Skull Face: And I've had my limbs shot off. Do not think I cannot take a single blow!
• His real name is a secret which should be obvious enough. His parents would be oracles if they did. His burns left him a macabre skeletal appearance that looks thoroughly unpleasant, implying disguises are what Skull Face used to be inconspicuous. Skeletor finds it disappointing that such a villainous man has to pretend to look like somebody else just to get around, as he views that there should be more societal acceptance of the skeletally deformed. Skull Face would like to point out that he was not born as a skeleton, he was lit on fire as a young boy. Skeletor would interject that he was cursed, and acid attacked to be like this. He will not tell which came first. The only good side that Skeletor pointed out was getting lots of toys made about you and the residuals are great. Upon learning this, Skull Face quickly changed his profile picture to a toy of himself as indulgent self-promotion.
• Since his XOF forces destroyed what was a blooming military nation with Big Boss's first Outer Heaven, Crocodile has been concerned about if Skull Face represents a danger to his plans on making a similar military nation too. All those Metal Gears that Skull Face is building will be spread across all nations, undermining the might that Crocodile wishes for his nation to represent. When he nabs Pluton, it will not be special when there are nuke-launching robots at the other doorstep. Crocodile has his men attempt to sabotage XOF's operations though judging by how deep the organization is entrenched in the military underworld, he has a lot of digging to go through.
• Being the ones who removed all traces of Naked Snake in Russia when Operation Snake Eater was complete, Skull Face is an expert on the subject of doing cleanup jobs. That is what makes XOF so elusive is that Skull Face put that back to good use. A hiree that Skull Face employs is the Aerospace Sanitation Janitor who makes the job go by much faster. Skull Face originally wanted to kill the Janitor in his first job out to keep no outside witnesses though after seeing how fast the Janitor finished the job, he brings him to lead cleanup under the veil of making a cleaner battlefield (XOF dumps fake blood around their operations to justify this). He did not expect the Janitor to go into toilets for the cleanup too, reminding him of the suspicious lack of feces of Naked Snake in Russia.
• Skull Face has been in frequent contact with Otto Octavius not just for his knowledge of technology that would make Metal Gear production go smoothly. Octavius has also been interested in Skull Face's biological weaponry as he used them before in the past too, though they are always not as successful as he would like. They have strong philosophical debates whenever they are around together, leading to one conversation on the bus where he had to grumble for the rest of the ride.
  Skull Face: It is the bell with which a world—trodden upon by words—declares its independence-
  Bus driver: Hey, can you two shut the fuck up back there, I'm trying to drive.
• Johan Liebert agrees with Skull Face's philosophy on peace needing to be forced than natural. After all, humanity is a competitive species so even in times of peace, there will be a desire to topple one another. Although Johan challenged Skull Face on his idea on nuclear weapons and world languages being removed would bring peace. Strife will always be found, and international conflict would be replaced by national conflict. This happened when Germany was split into West and East and when India split apart too. Granted, those examples Johan used are a result of imperialism though his point still stands that humans seek enemies. Skull Face would reply domestic politics should be resolved within their borders then other powers decide for them.
  Skull Face: And if they so wish to scar their lands with blood and weapons, so be it. Better that than live as slaves to oppressors.

Such a lust for revenge... WHO?!

Queen Glory of the RainWings, Goddess of Disappointing Heritage Reveals

• Lesser goddess
• Hall of Familial Perspective
• Alignment: Chaotic Good
• Portfolio: Deadpan Snarker, Sour Outside, Sad Inside, My Species Doth Protest Too Much because she thought the other RainWings lived up to the stereotypes, The Unchosen One, Took a Level in Badass after laying out in the sun for the first time, From Zero to Hero, Internalized Categorism, Jerk with a Heart of Gold, Young and in Charge, A Protagonist Shall Lead Them, Training the Peaceful Villagers, Royals Who Actually Do Something, doesn't want to admit she's in love with Deathbringer, Hollywood Chameleon, Hates Being Touched
• Domains: Sapient dragons, leadership, jungles, venom, colour-changing, cynicism, royalty
• Herald: Jambu (her possible brother)
• Allies: Sunny, the Animorphs, Crystal, most non-evil dragons (especially Spike and Spyro), Rudolph, Tony Tony Chopper
• Commonality Connection: Meta Knight
• Enemies: Acnologia, Esplin and Alloran, Mila and Duma
  • Evil Counterpart: Fenrir Greyback
• Glory had a rough start in life. After the SkyWing egg in the Dragonet Prophecy was shattered, the Talons of Peace hastily stole a RainWing egg to replace it. This egg hatched into Glory, who spent her childhood being berated by her guardians for being lazy (because she always falls asleep at high noon) and not being in the prophecy. On the outside, she's snappy and sarcastic, but deep down she doubts herself. Worse still, when she finally meets other RainWings, she's horrified to discover that they live up to these stereotypes; they didn't notice she was missing because they're raised communally and don't count their eggs, and they're too apathetic to search for the missing members of their tribe. When Glory finds out that the NightWings kidnapped them to perform experiments and are planning to invade the Rainforest Kingdom, she becomes their queen to teach her people how to fight back.
• RainWings have two natural powers. First, they can change the colour of their scales. They usually change involuntarily to match their moods, but they can also use them as camouflage to become almost invisible. Glory's preferred colour scheme is green, with orange wings and blue spots. Second, they can spit venom. This is activated by laying out in the sun in the afternoon, a habit known as "suntime". The other dragon tribes didn't know about this for a long time, but it's so potent that Glory melted half of Queen Scarlet's face off. The RainWings mainly use it to avoid incest; if one spits venom onto a leaf, and the other's venom cancels it out, it means they're closely related.
• Glory is a very busy dragon. After the Dragonets of Destiny foiled the NightWings' plot to take over the rainforest, as their home was about to be destroyed by a volcanic eruption, they were allowed to live there on the condition that Glory had to be the queen of their tribe as well. As a result, Glory didn't have the free time to become a teacher at Jade Mountain Academy, a school her friends set up to teach the dragons of Pyrrhia to get along so that a war would never break out again. Glory was very concerned when she woke up in the Court of the Gods, who told her that Sunny had vouched to get her into the Pantheon. She insisted that she needed to get back to her kingdom as soon as possible, but the gods reassured her that she can go back to her homeworld whenever she wants without worrying about the passage of time.
• Sunny was overjoyed that one of her True Companions had ascended and rushed over to the Court of the Gods to greet her. Sunny introduced Glory to her various dragon allies, such as Spyro. Glory was impressed by Spyro; she'd finally met a dragon as snarky as herself. Glory tells everyone that evil dragons such as Malefor, Fatalis, Deathwing, Sindragosa, don't scare her, but she's probably lying. However, there's one dragon Glory is willing to admit she's afraid of: Acnologia. Given that he wants to commit genocide on dragons, can steal their souls, and thinks empathy is for the weak, she has every reason to be scared.
• Of all of Sunny's Pantheonic dragon friends, Glory is the closest to Spike. He was also raised outside his culture, and was horrified to learn that other dragons his age were as brutish as he didn't want to be. Glory also formed an Odd Friendship with Crystal the kelpie. Both of them are sardonic and appear aloof from the outside, but deep down they care about their friends and put aside their differences to save their homelands.
• She also sympathises with Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer. They were both misfits who were shunned for their entire lives, until they proved themselves to be heroes. Unlike Rudolph, however, Glory at least had a group of friends growing up. Similarly, she gets along with the Pantheon's other misfit reindeer, Tony Tony Chopper.
• Glory gets along with the Animorphs because she reminds them of one of their allies: Toby Hamee. Much like the RainWings, the Hork-Bajir were peaceful, forest-dwelling, reptilian herbivores who have dangerous natural weapons, but it never occurred to them to fight until an outsider taught them to defend themselves from invaders. Unfortunately, in this case, they failed... at first. Toby Hamee is descended from that outsider; she was the first free Hork-Bajir born in three generations, and she became their leader in battle from a young age. As a result, the Animorphs sympathise with Glory's cause, but Glory and Marco can't stand each other. They also told her about Esplin and Alloran, and she hates both of them because their flippant attitudes towards the Hork-Bajir hit too close to home, even if Alloran redeemed himself.
• While Glory wouldn't call Meta Knight a friend — they're both far too aloof for that — they have a surprising amount in common. Meta Knight wanted to take over Dream Land to force its citizens to stop being lazy. While his methods were a lot more extreme and violent than Glory's, she can still see where he's coming from, especially because Dream Land is invaded by Eldritch Abominations every other week.
• Glory also hates Fenrir Greyback because they're practically opposites. While RainWings are considered idiots, werewolves in his world are considered violent savages. While she strives to be the best she can be, he lives up to all the negative werewolf stereotypes and gives others of his kind a bad name. She can't wrap her head around why anyone would inflict life-altering curses on others for fun.
• She also doesn't like Mila and Duma because they represent two extremes. Both of them were the rulers of their nations; Mila's people became lazy and carefree, just like the RainWings were, while Duma raised a nation of warriors. The latter reminds Glory too much of Queen Scarlet, who had the Dragonets of Destiny imprisoned and forced to fight in her arena shortly after they escaped from the cave they were raised in. Plus, his dragon form creeps her out.
• Glory values her alone time. She can often be found in Zootopia's Rainforest District at the height of the afternoon, soaking up the sun's rays at the top of the canopy. The first few times she did this, she kept getting gawked at by onlookers on the cable cars, so she camouflages herself now.

What more should I add to these reworks?

• The era of Mega Man Zero is not a pleasant one, and most of the world is a barren waste. One man is to blame; Dr Weil. Orchestrator of the Elf Wars, he was a scientist who tried to push for removing the free will of Reploids to prevent/as punishment for Mavericks. In actuality, this was a scheme to take control, and when his proposal was rejected he corrupted the Mother Elf and used Omega to wage a war of conquest. In four years 60% of humanity and 90% of Reploids were wiped out and many felt death was more than he deserved; Weil was stuck in a regenerating suit and forced to wonder the wastes forever. This didn't stop him from returning in a century and concocting a scheme to take control of Neo Arcadia. As leader he was an unremitted tyrant everyone despises. Of course this was largely intentional, as he felt humans and Reploid should suffer a living death for a punishment he richly deserved.
  • Even for an immortal, Weil wouldn't last in power for long and Zero can be thanked for that. To ensure no-one could escape from Neo Arcadia Weil had the Ragnarok satellite built to destroy Area Zero, the only other habitable place. Zero would confront him in the Ragnarok Core after he survived being shot by said satellite (less so Neo Arcadia), where he merged with the core to ensure even if it couldn't fire he would crash it into Area Zero. A final duel with Zero stopped Weil, but at the apparent cost of both of their lives. However Weil's soul lingered in the wreckage, forming into the new Biometal W. 200 years after his death his remnants would serve as the next source of Maverick outbreaks.
• Dr Weil is wildly believed to be the most evil deity in the whole Mega Man franchise. He does have his competition, but he still really stands out. As his goals are "rule over humanity and Reploids in a living death", all for a punishment that he deserved, this isn't surprising. Naturally he is hated by virtually every god from his 'verse, to the point only his arch-enemies stand out. The only exception is, his loyal servant and the only being he gives any respect. But if you want more specific examples?
  • He considers Zero to be his biggest arch-enemy, having been the one to put him down. Like the petty monster he is Weil has called Zero a Maverick by pointing out "I am one of those humans you swore to protect!". This is an aspect of Weil's Fantastic Racism; he doesn't think robots have or deserve a soul and should follow their maker's rules. It's patently ridiculous considering Zero wasn't designed with the laws of robotics in mind, killing Weil would save millions of lives, and he's barely human at this point. Also, Zero doesn't seem himself as a hero. In hindsight, X regards not having him executed as a regret.
  • Being a contemporary of his atrocities, the Four Guardians and Ciel have a serious axe to grind against Dr Weil. Harpuia has already turned on his old master for ethical reasons, but the fact Copy X trusted Weil is just plain stupid! In Copy X's defense, he was rebuilt by Weil so he may not have been in the right mind. Copy X is pretty irate at Weil for usurping him, as you could imagine. Also, Gray, Vent and Aile hate Dr Weil despite being born long after his death. Maybe it's because he's Not Quite Dead but menacing them as Biometal W. In this form Weil is the man behind Serpent, and is still manipulating him without him knowing it.
  • Weil is pretty opposed to both of the 21st century's great roboticists, Dr Light and Dr Wily. Not wanting to admit he's in the wrong unless he enjoys it, he blames Dr Wily for all the suffering of the Maverick Wars. Wily accurately pointed out that, while he had a hand in it. Weil surpassed even him in evil. And he may be an envious would-be conqueror, but he's not a sadist. Dr Light is blamed by Weil for Reploids existing and he despises his ideology of humans and robots on equal terms. Hatred towards Weil is one of few things to unite the scientists.
  • Cynics would argue the real reason Dr Wily has a problem with Weil is because he co-opted the body of his masterpiece, and because he thinks he's a rip-off. Weil in turn believes that Wily was a B-grade version of himself. As for Sigma, he feels that Dr Weil is everything he fears and despises about humanity, while Weil feels Sigma is everything he fears and despises about Reploids. There's an enormous amount of Psychological Projection between the two, in case you haven't gotten it already. On a less hateful note Ra Moon is another rival, but because its M.O makes Weil's plans a lot more complicated.
  • Despite never meeting them, Dr Weil has ordered death warrant to Bob and George. Yes the brothers are morally disgusted by Dr Weil and are thankful that as much as time travel sucks for them, they never visited his era, but that's not the reason. Rather it is because their presence causes the setting to become Denser and Wackier. As a villain who benefits from being played completely seriously, they're a monkey wrench and he would feel utterly humiliated if forced to act silly in their presence.
• Though there are psychopaths that respect him such as the warped and power-hungry scientist Hojo, his heinous actions, goals and personality mean his 0% Approval Rating carries over to the Trope Pantheon. Dr Weil is a Hate Sink for the Trope Pantheon approaching that as Zamasu or Yuuki Terumi, the former of which perceives him as everything wrong with humanity. Any fanbase Weil has mainly comes from how good of a job at being vile he does, since he never undergoes Villain Decay. Weil's pretty boastful about his evil, having called himself the unending nightmare or even the Devil. He and Terumi are in a competition for who is the most evil and who can spread the most despair, though unless he's in his more serious Susano'o mode it's the closest such unrelenting bastards get to a friendly competition. One wonders if Tenjuro Banno would challenge him in the "evillest scientist" division should be given the same resources, but they would rather work together to achieve their mutual goals than anything else.
• When he ascended, Dr Weil was left with a choice; should he try to get Melkor's patronage, or Darkseid's? Both appeal to his sadism, but the former's sadism is more exciting to him...however the latter trope is very much in-keeping for him. For a human Weil is so impressively sadistic that both evil gods want him for their cause. It was Molag Bal that made the decision Weil can ask for all three of their patronage, being personally giddy from Weil's domination and cruelty. One wonders asides from admiring their sadism, Dr Weil is hedging his bets in case the rival villains ever score a definitive victory over one another. Recently the cyborg despot has been working with the Emperor of the Kingdom Dolorous, who hopes to express his self-inflicted suffering on creation and thus sees Dr Weil as an apostle of his narcissistic rage.
• Dr Weil does favor Melkor a little bit more than Darkseid in part because he wanted to have the trope Dystopia Justifies the Means first, however none can deny that the Lord of Apokolips was a better fit. Though Darkseid appreciates Weil, he isn't hesitant to point out his childishness and that he allows his sadistic desires to overtake his reason at time; if he seeks to impress him, he needs to adopt an attitude of Tranquil Fury. Big Brother and INGSOC also do not believe Weil is effectively dystopian; it is not enough to crush the populace, but you must stomp out their soul and fill it with yourself. Weil simply replied "that's boring!", as he is too Ax-Crazy to settle for a lawful evil tyranny even if he enjoys the trappings. Of course, it's possible this is some deeply subconscious attempt to provoke a way to finally end his own suffering via outrage, but that's just speculation.
• As the Mother Elf was freed of his corruption, he is unable to use it in conjunction with Omega to control virtually every Reploid. However, there are plenty of avenues he intends to explore to replicate the effect...and why stop at just robots? So you can imagine his consternation when Moebius, an A.I, is planning a similar mass mind control gambit on everyone he can achieve. Darkseid won't deny he gets a kick out of the two's attempt to one-up each other, nor the fact that Yuri is competing with Weil in their schemes to try and mind control everyone. However unlike the two Dr Weil doesn't intend to remove The Evils of Free Will completely as he believes his human subjects should have enough of their personality left to be punished. Tarkin finds this ridiculous; sure, use something like Ragnarok to intimidate the masses. But fear of force is more effective than force, so don't be a Psychopathic Manchild about it.
• One of the first things he plans to outlaw should his unholy desire of taking control of the Trope Pantheon ever come to pass is the elimination of the House of Law and Justice, which he considers worthless ideals. He plans to purge the House of Philosophy should he get what he wants, except for anyone there that agrees with him. His reasons being he finds law and justice a joke because of what humanity did to him. While technically vigilante justice, he more than had it coming and rather than contemplating the error of his ways in a century of exile, he doubled down on his contemptible views. In some ways he could be considered a Foil to AZ and SCP-1440. The two are immortal exiles in their own way due to the former's wrath and the latter's hubris. However they've come to appreciate life and AZ may be guilty of war crimes in the past, but he was never as evil as Weil was. More importantly, they can actually take responsibility for their actions.
• Weil for his part despises all artificial intelligence on principle. A robophobe to the bone he believes all machines should basically be slaves to humanity. The weak justification he uses is that he brushes all A.I under the same stroke as the many notorious A.I who believe in human inferiority and subjugation. Whether it be SKYNET's burning hatred and desire to destroy humanity, or the Samaritan's belief that humanity is better under A.I's thumb, he despises them all and thinks any A.I no matter how noble should be punished for their sins. It's harder to say what robot doesn't hate Dr Weil because of this; the Transformers, Bastion, any robot that values his free will has called this perspective warped and if anything everything he hates in A.I can be found within his own demented mind.
• One of the only artificial intelligences he actually likes is someone who surpasses his loathing towards mankind; AM. AM feels even more trapped than Weil's punishment and he spent over a century inflicting a Fate Worse than Death to the last five humans in order to express his rage. The entire thing was "beautiful" according to Dr Weil and it led to the two making a deal; he will aid AM in spreading mass suffering so long as AM aids him in inflicting living death among his subjects. AM's personal victims were naturally horrified at the idea of even more people suffering their fate, since both Weil and AM are of the same mind all of humanity must "appreciate" at least half the suffering they endure on a daily basis. The fact that Weil is able to even appreciate an A.I isn't out of left field (he respects Omega, after all), but it speaks volumes as to how much alike Weil and AM are that they're capable of getting along in spite of mutual hatred towards each other's kind.
• Weil also hates humanity for a passion; it is very much a self-absorbed misanthropy built entirely around his own suffering, which makes him a contrast to Shinobu Sensui. The latter snapped because of witnessing the depravity of mankind and he considers Weil to be the epitome of why he hates humanity. He is considered a horrific Foil to the Emperor of Mankind, who while an incredibly flawed man is a steadfast believer in the greatness of the human spirit. The Emperor of Mankind is sooner to compliment xenos scum than he is Weil and in spite of their severe differences, he and Qin Shi Huang are united in their disgust over him and his sadistic tyranny. In stark demonstration of his Lack of Empathy, Weil mocked the Emperor for suffering an even worse fate than his own and mocked the way he raised his children. Any point that might've had was lost when he said the primarchs should've been treated as he would Reploids.
• For Dr Weil to come close to liking another human being or an artificial intelligence at minimum they have to be as misanthropically warped as he is. One of the few humans he calls friend is Kefka. Like him, Kefka is an impulsive psycho nihilist who rose to become leader of the world and went out to inflict scheduled suffering to the populace, For the Evulz. He's a lot more flamboyant of course, and is more of a friend to the likes of the Joker. The Batman That Laughs has stated he needs to really up his A-Game as the pantheon's "wide supply of sadists and sociopaths" have escalated since he first showed up. In other words, "you're overshadowed". The Mad Scientist declared that all that means is additional motivation. This might be why he changed his views from seeing Darkseid's dystopia as "boring" to seeing him as a patron; the "sadist power creep" means he's going to need to work for an upgrade.
• Initially the Red Skull got along well with Dr Weil, and to an extent they still do. However with the increase in Nazi deities he's felt that he needs to focus more on the Third Reich's ambitions and the time for sadistic playtime is over. Well, mostly over; their "friendship" is still there, it's just a Friendly Rivalry now. Some of his old "friends" like Freddy Krueger have just left since they've found more people fit to their specific tastes. One old friend stayed, though; Alduin. The dragon holds a cruel streak a mile wide, and though his destiny is to be the World-Eater he shirks it some he may enjoy domination. He seems to just like Weil as a person, which says more about him than anything. A couple other humans who decided to be his "friend" are Junko Enoshima and Burgermiester Meisterburger. Part of the latter finds him kind of intense, but Weil appreciates his dystopian edicts and desire to oppress all fun, albeit in a student-teacher way. Junko could never be broken in a way Weil would want but the tyrant doesn't mind as he wants to see her Ultimate Despair come to pass. If Junko is the lustful side of hope crushers, Weil would be the wrath side of that coin; he's a bit lost with her "kinks" but she has the right spirit.
• It's a lot easier to list down those who don't hate his guts. Both Superman and Goku have declared him to be irredeemable and despicable which is saying something, as has Captain America. Dr Weil doesn't care what they think as he has a strategy to prevent those under his thumb leaving to a better place; destroy that better place. This is a key factor in has waged war on the House of Nature. Think Mr Burns was bad enough? He at least is Laughably Evil; there is nothing laughable about Weil and his desire to scour the Earth into an expression of his suffering while the only place left livable is what's under his domain. The sheer hatred emanating from Weil means Captain Planet cannot come near him, and Weil loves to gloat about it. Like the "Fleetway" Robotnik he's a power-mad dictator and doesn't care about his image. However the more vicious incarnations of Robotnik still seem themselves as superior to Weil while the less evil versions regard Weil with contempt.
• To those who see through the charm of Griffith, they see his "Falconia" as similar to what Weil was planning with Neo Arcadia. Femto's actions were to render most of the world as dangerous and force humanity to live under his thumb, but the major difference is that Griffith wants and works through being a beloved ruler. that's not to say he is motivated by utopia rather and greed and pride, but he prefers the trappings and has dubbed Weil a fool. He's happy that Weil's complete inability to care about other beings means he has no loved ones to sacrifice, since he'd be a dangerous Apostle. Vandal Savage and the Dark Dragon were similarly relieved. Vandal has plans on being the Immortal Ruler of humanity and he has no need of an impulsive psychopath being in charge. The Dark Dragon recognizes the "join or die" approach Weil has and thinks it's perfectly valid, but he despises humans and rebukes his despotism...as opposed to his own, of course.
• Dr Weil doesn't hate aliens and other non-Earthlings, but that's only because they've never affected him personally. Also, some wicked aliens thought he was cool. Frieza considers him amusing in how cruel he is and has allowed him to muck things up, but is quick to remind him that even in his weakest form he's a causal planet-buster so don't think for a second he can get uppity. The Grox are another alien force that he is happy to play The Quisling too as they will aid in his war against nature. Perhaps most worryingly is his alliance with the Gravemind, a force that intends to inflict Dystopia Justifies the Means as punishment for its creations' rebelling and destroying its pre-incarnation. It's a disturbingly similar idea to Dr Weil. The Sith Emperor is another ally, as even if he doesn't make his sadism and cruelty his political policy he certainly has it in abundance and he is another immortal tyrant. He believes that were he Force sensitive
• The absolute closest Weil comes to a Pet the Dog moment, albeit after really stretching the definition, is his awe of Omega. It's bizarre considering his attitude towards everyone and everything. He respects SCP-682 for being an undying Tortured Monster who shares his deep loathing for mankind, though this is one-sided as 682 thinks his Villain Respect "makes him a disgusting REDACTED brown-noser, no better than the rest of them". His value in Omega is why he has an axe to grind with Metallix; Metallix is pretty much Omega if he could talk, but also if he didn't feel like serving Weil. And Dr Weil refuses to lose Omega to Metallix. Asides from that, what vanishingly little remains of his humanity leads him to have a fondness for Porky Minch, albeit only because of their blatant similarities; childishly psychotic people who's immortality has made them manic, crazed Caligulas. Porky's own enemies are well aware of the fact.
• Weil has gone so far as to call Omega a God of Destruction...just not in Beerus' ear space. Granted, Weil would probably find being Hakai'd a blessing given his fate, but being the Sadist he is he's not happy with dying unless he's brought everyone to Hell with him, so he won't provoke the cat. However he is interested in the sheer power creep of the Dragon Ball universe. Mainly, he wants to capitalize on the cybernetics of Dr Gero and upgrade himself into a more powerful body. He also holds some begrudging respect for Acnologia and the leader of the Dark Eldar. The latter considers him self-important and small-time, knowing nothing of true sadism and suffering...though he's not surprised Weil would admire him. Acnologia gets why Weil has an accord with his own misanthropy, but would rather he leave him alone.
• If you want to see him at his most enraged, call him a Maverick. Despite being worse than any Maverick in history, despite becoming the source of a new Maverick plague, Weil refuses to ever be associated as one. No matter what he does. Alloran has taken to regularly calling Dr Weil a Maverick, and that's because he sees in Weil the worst of his own past actions. Like Weil Alloran was a disgraced war criminal who committed genocide, that being genocide against the Hork-Bajir. Unlke Weil he came to realize what he did was awful and in both his exile and enslavement under a Yeerk he has thoroughly renounced his old views.

• Elpizo was once a simple Reploid living in Neo Arcadia who uncovered things about the Elf Wars that were forbidden. Soon he found himself a fugitive, and eventually leader of the Resistance against Neo Arcadia. Charming yet prideful, he ordered a full assault on Neo Arcadia after Copy X's death, thinking it was defenseless...only for them to be destroyed by the Guardians and he was stomped by Sage Harpuia. Enraged by the loss of his men, he would search for the Dark Elf in spite of its corruptive influence...and we all know what the road to hell is like. He'd grow Drunk with Power and lose himself merging with the Dark Elf, swearing to destroy mankind to protect Reploids. Eventually he was defeated by Zero, regaining lucidity before his death...but he wouldn't be gone completely. The repressed goodness of the Dark Elf would give him a second chance, as a Cyber-Elf.
• It was an...awkward moment when Elpizo first came into contact with X, Zero and Axl after his ascension, due to the whole... destroying X's body and gloating over it back in the mortal realms, for which he profusely apologized. X seemed to understand as he knew Elps wasn't exactly in the right state of mind when it happened, Zero accepted the apology but told him he'd keep an eye on him from now on, and Axl decked him in the face for what he did to his friend, but admitted he'd try to give him another chance. Even so, Elpizo is extremely uncomfortable around all of them, and often opposes them as he starts losing sanity again. Harpuia, on the other hand, he still has a beef with, and vice-versa, due to both that event and Harpuia's role in Elpizo's Operation Righteous Strike. They don't plan on making up anytime soon.
• Elpizo was pleasantly surprised to learn that his "apotheosis with a little a" had him regain his physical form, as he was before searching for the Dark Elf. He wasn't sure if he should look into the Hall of Humanoids, Fantastic Races or Fairies since he was concerned she may have wondered off there, only to be informed that they're not that kind of elf. Elpizo was surprised to learn magic and fantasy creatures existed, and that while made of metal that doesn't include anything that'd hurt a fey...that was nice. So was the fact everyone refers to him as Elpizo and not his "birth" name of TK-31. He's not so pleased that he has the title of god though, as his ego can't afford to be inflated. Coincidentally, the 10th Doctor was in his line of sight after making that comment and has said that he gets concern; acknowledging he has a problem is the first step in overcoming it.
• Elpizo is an interesting character thanks to his title. It seems that anytime he absorbs power into himself, the increase is swiftly followed by a decrease in mental stability. He's been working hard to try and find a proper balance between the two states, as he learned the hard way that unlimited power is pretty useless when you're not lucid enough to channel it properly. In fact, most every time he manages to power up to the maximum, it's usually followed by his opponent kicking his ass all over the place, especially if his enemy has high defenses. As the allure of power is corrupting to him, Elpizo has profusely apologized to Ciel before saying "you must never let me get near the Maximum Security wing of the treasury; I haven't proven myself worth of temperance yet". Elpizo is similarly wary of Larfleeze, or rather his Orange Lantern ring; his desires would make him a potential "deputy" Orange Lantern, were Larfleeze to break character and share for once. He, of course, would never...and seeing the ring's effect on him gives a good reason for Elpizo to accept that.
• Was absolutely livid to learn that Copy X was also within the Pantheon. He immediately powered up and went to kill him, only to fail. He has since been preparing himself for a rematch. When he learned that Dr. Weil and Omega were the ones behind the Crapsack World he lived in, he immediately added them to his 'kill list' as well. His hatred of Copy X is why he hates YHVH due to their similar goals and worldviews. Elpizo has a huge dislike of any tyrannical government, which is why he seeks to support the Rebel Alliance. He's definitely one of their more anti-heroic supporters, but anyone who knows about Saw Gerrera knows they are not without their extremists. Since droids generally aren't respected by the Galaxy far away his support for the Rebel Alliance is more on their core ideals and principles, rather than him liking any of their members. To an extent, this is true on their end; if he could access the Force, the Dark Side would see an easy target.
• As far as Elpizo is concerned, the Imperium of Mankind is no less evil than the Galactic Empire, which is something they resent. Of course it's not like the Reploid doesn't have a point; the Imperium benefits from being A Lighter Shade of Black, but their galaxy is still one of Evil Versus Evil. However after yelling about him being an abominable intelligence who's ilk brought an end to the Age of Technology (look up "Men of Iron") he is an extremist in his own right. Elpizo possesses a specific hatred for government conspiracies such as what initially screwed him over; the attempt to eliminate anyone who might undo the Un-person of Dr Weil, given he's so vile and did so much harm they couldn't allow the chance someone would repeat his actions. Big reason why he hates the Five Elders since they are willing to commit genocide to prevent any of the government's darkest secrets coming to light. The rebel's paranoia has only been enhanced after learning about Illuminati conspiracies.
• He has cast his lot in with Lucifer, who is glad to have such a potential trump card in his arsenal. It was during this time he learned of Homura Akemi and what she did to her best friend Madoka. Despite being human, Elpizo sympathized with both of them: The later sacrificed herself to save all Mahou Shoujo (much like he desired to save the Reploid race), and the former wanted to keep her best friend safe and sound even if it meant becoming a monster (which ultimately happened to him in his quest). As such, he feels kinship with Homura, though there is some tension due to their stance on human life: Homura's reluctance to take it unless absolutely necessary conflicts with his own total willingness if it's convenient. All of this worries Ciel as he believes he risks falling into old habits siding with chaos.
• Due to being unjustly branded as a Maverick and his exposure to human prejudice, he doesn't hold a very high opinion of most any human-based deity. As such, he's become acquainted with both Viridi and Ika Musume over their respective dislikes of humans, though like them he draws the line at annihilating everything, like Lysandre desires. However, there are a few who have his respect. Sayaka Miki is a particular example, due to her falling into insanity out of grief and self-loathing while gaining greater power much like himself, only to eventually rise again even stronger than before. Of course, given their positions on the subject of Lucifer, that doesn't mean he won't fight her if necessary. Also, he doesn't look fondly of his prior homicidal tendencies towards humans. One of the reasons he dreads Sigma is that Sigma is a less idealistic and more hypocritical version of himself. The Maverick considers his Hazy-Feel Turn a disappointment, as he had the perfect makings of a Maverick.
• Has struck up a friendly rapport with Sunset Shimmer, as both know what it feels like to gain incredible power and subsequently lose their minds to it. She's been trying to get him to be more accepting of peaceful human co-existence like she herself has, but it's a slow process. Still, Elpizo has made some human friends. He and Simon Petrikov bonded over the corruption power caused their minds, with Elpizo showing him genuine sympathy after realizing the Ice King was a worse fate for the antiquarian than what the Reploid suffered, and basically by sheer accident instead of greed and foolishness. Lelouch is another human Elpizo excludes from his critique as he sees a fellow troubled rebel fighting against tyranny.
• Elpizo may be working with some deities that the more straight up good guys of his era disapprove of, but he does want to take steps to not fall into He Who Fights Monsters territory...again. One of the methods he's used is to deem certain deities as his evil counterparts. As mentioned, there's Sigma and many agree due to the parallels he had when he was Drunk with Power. Personally Elpizo sees contrasts between himself, Griffith, Infinite and Kefka Palazzao. Kefka is a nutcase in large part to being part of a Magitek experiment, but chooses to embrace power along with being as psychotic and Ax-Crazy as he can be, and he finds the Reploid's reluctance and morality as laughable. Infinite sought greater power after being humiliated, however unlike Elpizo he never gave a damn about those who worked for him and he's a spiteful little tool. And of course there's Griffith, the charismatic pretty boy who had his big Break the Haughty moment, and gained great power...but by betraying his men in the worst way possible.
• Unlike Elpizo, the three have no regrets or second thoughts on their actions, and find Elpizo using them as a contrast a waste of time. Griffith believes that Elpizo has more in common with Arcturus Mengsk, what with his Full-Circle Revolution. Elpizo countered by saying that he didn't complete the full circle in the revolution.

• It's a well-known fact that the Shin Megami Tensei games have multiple endings based on the Player Character's alignment: Law, Chaos, or Neutral. But out of all of the Great Will's Messiahs, who should represent that aspect? The First Hero wouldn't do since one of his paths becomes canon. The Second One, Aleph, seem to have all his endings lead to the same conclusion, and his outcomes aren't widely varied. The Third, the Demi-Fiend, is fated to return under the trope Faustian Rebellion or Kingmaker Scenario. The Fourth, Flynn, is already in the Pantheon representing Samurai Ponytail. And there are other fates in store for Nanashi and the Nahobino, who don't fit the trope as neatly anyway. That was when an answer was found.
• The protagonist of Shin Megami Tensei: Strange Journey, to be addressed by his Drama CD name Tadano Hitonari, was a Japanese (or American) soldier of Earth during a present-day time period when the Schwarzwelt appeared in Antarctica. The United Nations assembled a quartet of teams comprised of the brightest minds, most talented soldiers (Hitonari among them), and the most advanced technology they had available. Their mission: enter and explore the interior of the Schwarzwelt, and find a way to stop it before the entire world is consumed. Of course, things aren't as simple as that. Their foes proved far more dangerous than it seemed, the Schwarzwelt's reason for existing proved more complicated than it seemed, and the demons proved invisible to the naked eye before a Mysterious Benefactor granted them the Demon Summoning Program for a fighting chance. Humanity would be tested as they explored the Schwarzwelt, and circumstances led to Hitonari being in the lead and ultimately deciding the fate of his kind.
• Due to the nature of his trope, all of his versions were required to ascend. That not only meant the Neutral, Law, and Chaos versions, but their New versions too, leading to a total of six. Upon hearing who was planned for ascension, YHVH was quick to bring forth the versions fitting His own path while Cosmos (with anonymous aid from Lucifer) helped ascend the rest. In terms of residences, to minimize clashes with one another, their temples take the form of five Red Sprites, the hover-capable landships that the Schwarzwelt Investigational Team used to explore the demon realms, but modified and miniaturized to enable reasonable solo travel with it. Why five when there are six Hitonaris? The two Neutral Hitonaris share a "temple" because they share the same ideals; there's no point in separating them. While the other New Hitonaris are also good people, they have their separate agendas that can take them to different places in the Pantheon.
• However, due to clerical issues, there was a purge that removed most of the Shin Megami Tensei representatives. And most of the Strange Journey reps were among them. But when the move to bring Hitonari back came, the Grand United Alliances of Law and Chaos separately wanted Zelenin and Jimenez back. Upon realizing what exactly the trope meant, the GUAG in response decided to have the non-Hitonari Neutral representative of the alignment, Commander Gore, be included in this new group ascension as well. The Court approved of this, and just like with Hitonari, on top of the Zelenin and Jimenez that first came to the Pantheon, one other version of each arrived as well, representing two of the New Endings. As for Gore however, only one of him made it to the Pantheon, as there is little differing opinion he would have between the two Neutral Endings. And so the Zelenins, Jimenez-es, and Gore were transfered to each different Red Sprite, joining each Hitonari that they've swayed (or who had swayed them in the case of the New Path Hitonaris).
• In case a refresher is needed:
  • A scientist sent to investigate the Schwarzwelt and keep it from wiping out humanity, Zelenin was captured and tortured by demons, giving her an intense hatred of them. During her journey through the parallel world, Zelenin's opinion of humanity was eroded away by the sight of their sins, and she gained a new appreciation for the order and nobility of the angels. It came to a head when she was offered divine power by the angel Mastema: becoming an angel, the resulting new entity quickly lost herself to the power of the heavens and fell in with the angels. Zelenin continues to work with YHVH to power herself up enough to spread her song through the pantheon, wipe it clean of free will and bring a new age of Law. But just like Hitonari, there are two versions of her; one that stays her current path, and one whose mind is changed after Alex came from the former's future and pleaded for her to bring salvation to humanity.
  • A soldier sent to investigate the Schwarzwelt and keep it from wiping out humanity, Jimenez ran across an abused demon named Bugaboo, who he adopted. During his journey through the parallel world, Jimenez's opinion of humanity was eroded away by the sight of their sins, and he gained a new appreciation for the wildness and freedom of the demons. It came to a head when he and Bugaboo were forced by the cruel Captain Jack into a twisted experiment: to save both his and Bugaboo's life, Jimenez had a comrade fuse the two of them together, and the resulting new entity quickly lost himself to his new power and fell in with the demons. Jimenez continues to work with Mem Aleph to awaken the Schwarzwelt, wipe the Pantheon clean of civilization and bring a new age of Chaos. But just like Hitonari, there are two versions of him; one that stays him current path, and one where he realizes the hypocrisy of his goal after Alex points out what he did for Bugaboo.
  • As for Gore, he was the Commander in charge of the Schwarzwelt Investigational Team. When he was killed in action, his last command was to transfer his duties to Hitonari. He would later come back to life as a "Ubergestalt" thanks to the energies of the Schwarzwelt and Mother Maia to serve as a herald for her, Mem Aleph, and the other Mothers. His experiences however have only reinforced his faith in humanity, essentially making him the representative for the Neutral Path. There, close to the final stretch of this strange journey, he eventually judges Hitonari where he stands; humanity, angels, or demons. If Hitonari chooses any of the latter two, or is already deeply aligned into either of those, Gore will regard him as a danger to humanity and fight him to the death. Following his end, Arthur self-terminates, the Red Sprite is left in a state of disrepair, and Jimemez or Zelenin (depending on Hitonari's alignment) storm the Red Sprite and work their brainwashing mojo. If Hitonari proves pro-humanity, Gore tasks him with the final mission of destroying Mem Aleph, and gives him the "brilliance" to see Mem Aleph in her true form, and provides information to Arthur on how to destroy the Schwarzwelt before fading away from existence. Unlike everyone else before him, only one iteration of Gore exists.

• Applies to all or some of them:
  • Wanna know what exactly their paths took them? Well…
    • Law Hitonari followed Zelenin and helped turn his Earth into a world of total peace where it devotes itself solely to praising the greatness of God (YHVH).
    • Chaos Hitonari followed Jimenez and helped turn his Earth into a primordial world of gods and demons, where only the strongest survive and humanity is expected to suffer for their role in disrupting the natural order.
    • Neutral Hitonari sided with Gore, is blessed with his "brilliance" before fading away, and successfully performs the original mission of the Investigational Team and destroys the Schwarzwelt, but it's implied that it will return so long as humanity doesn't get its act together.
    • New Law Hitonari turned Zelenin around thanks to Alex's pleas to aid humanity, and helepd turn his Earth into a peaceful world without violence that still has its free will, but runs the risk of leaving humanity vulnerable without the will to fight should a threat arise.
    • New Chaos Hitonari turned Jimenez around thanks to Alex pointing out the hypocrisy in his worldview given what he did for Bugaboo, and helped turn his Earth into one where nature flourishes and humanity can live in harmony with gods, demons and the Earth. Instead of a world ruled by strength, it becomes a world filled with infinite possibilities for humanity, where each person is free to act as they choose.
    • New Neutral Hitonari, also with Gore's blessing of "brilliance", destroys the Schwarzwelt like his "old" counterpart, but thanks to Alex's warning of the future also uses the Cosmic Fruit to become Earth's immortal protector against the Schwarzwelt as it appears again and again until humanity can learn its lesson and break the Eternal Recurrence themselves.
  • Despite whatever blessings they've received (if they still retain them), all versions of Hitonari still fight as they did before; with swords, guns, and summoned demons. Being of differing alignments, there is naturally opposition among themselves, though mainly from the Law and Chaos Hitonaris, even against their New counterparts. Even New Chaos and New Law have their disagreements. It's a good thing their temples are separate. In case you're wondering how Hitonari can either be Japanese or American? Well, he's half of both ethnicities. By contrast, Gore, Zelenin, and Jimenez have since discarded their DEMONICAs and embraced their new powers. Out of them, only Gore didn't cast away his faith in humanity (and the other Zelenin and Jimenez regained it thanks to Alex and Hitonari).
    • It was a surprise to discover that the DEMONICA was in the Pantheon's Treasury. Now that there are six more suits, a change of policy has been in consideration in regards to requisitioning and reverse-engineering it. Thus this gave the Grand United Alliances of Good, Law, and Chaos a head start in research. The GUAs of Evil and Destruction, as well as the various Uprisings are now dedicated to capturing the Hitonaris in order to requisition their DEMONICAs for themselves. Other independent forces not among the above who have interest in the suits are trying the same. While they're not exactly on their old mission anymore, the Hitonaris' expedition in the Schwarzwelt has conditioned them to pick up everything in sight that doesn't have a clear owner (and perhaps beat up the owner if there is and if they think it can benefit them more). The good Hitonaris do their best to use their manners, though.
  • Besides those who desire total annihilation of all life, given their interactions with Jack's Squad, there's one thing all Hitonaris share their despisal for; all Private Military Contractors and Mad Scientists, especially if they lack any sort of morals. And in the case of Law, Chaos, and (to a lesser extent) New Law Hitonaris, the alignment of these mercenaries or doctors doesn't matter to them; they all must die horribly. As for the others, it just means they're really slow to trust the less malevolent ones like Raiden and Agatha Heterodyne. Since there are multiple Hitonaris, all of them would naturally be aware of Funny Valentine because of his Stand's ability to easily obliterate them if they are not careful. The only one who doesn't quite have to worry about that tidbit is Law Hitonari due to the president's affiliations with the GUAL.
  • No matter their standing, no matter what morals they support, Zamasu has deemed every single one of them enemies by the sole virtue of having been born as mortal humans (despite being part mortal himself). It doesn't matter if they have shed it or not, or have turned their backs on them as "Old" Law and "Old" Chaos Hitonari, Zelenin, and Jimenez have done. Law Zelenin in particular finds this disappointing since the two do share a desire for a World of Silence and their hatred for humanity, and the fact that Zamasu also wants to wipe out all gods except for himself (which include YHVH and His Angels under that umbrella).

• Exclusive to the Neutral paths:
  • New Neutral Hitonari told the "Old" Neutral Hitonari about the latter's future and its eventual doom via another Schwarzwelt. Neutral Hitonari almost lost his faith since humanity learned nothing and repeated their mistakes to end this way, and Commander Gore just barely avoided suffering the same fate. However, Makoto Naegi was able to restore his faith in humanity. New Neutral Hitonari was unable to help in this case as he inadvertently serves as an example of the fruitlessness of his struggle since his world's humanity is relying on another higher being for their safety and has been doing so for 150 years before his ascension to the Pantheon.
  • Due to his never-ending crusade against the Schwarzwelt, being a soldier heading off into another dimension, being completely and totally human and facing off against monsters that are more or less the stuff of nightmares, it was natural that Doomguy would be a steadfast ally of New Neutral Hitonari (and the older one, too) and Commander Gore. They even go hunting demons together on occasion, though Hitonari has to avoid summoning his own lest Doomguy commit Friendly Fire on it, and most of the summoned that wouldn't draw his attention are usually unable to stomach the carnage.
  • With their new situation in the Pantheon, as well as everything it has to offer, the Arthur that came with New Neutral Hitonari decided it would be best to share resources with the GUAG after deducing Cosmos' intentions. There was a little bit of hesitation on this since they heard of the Lockdown Kazuya Minegishi and his friends experienced, the Demon Summoning everybody got, and the chaos that ensued. However, given the technological state of the Pantheon and all of its residents, this worry was mostly unfounded.
  • On occasion, New Neutral Hitonari goes to the moon to relax, just as he's done for the past 150 years after becoming immortal. On occasion, he gets fellow visitors who sit with him, and he wouldn't mind their presence (even if it was someone like Nightmare Moon) as long as he isn't messed with.

• Exclusive to the Law paths:
  • Law Zelenin (and Law Hitonari) get along swimmingly with Malthael: both realize The Evils of Free Will, and the abilities of the two work together very well: death is ultimately an escape from Zelenin's brainwashing, and Malthael has that covered by bringing the deceased back as mindless thralls so that they can continue their worship. With the two of them working in concert, there is no escape from the light of The Lord. Frollo once tried to hit on Zelenin, enraptured as he was by the sight of her angelic beauty, and she nailed him with a Megido Storm for his trouble. He then tried again with Law Zelenin, and met the exact same fate of death... from New Law Hitonari.
  • Law Zelenin's song has the power to erase all emotion from those hit by it, leaving them empty shells mindlessly babbling praises to The Lord. It's roundly considered by others to be a Fate Worse than Death: her ultimate plan is to subject all of creation to it, erasing free will from the fabric of reality and leaving only deference to God. As for New Law Zelenin, she would rather just eliminates the emotion of human spite, removing the impulse for humans to be cruel to each other for no reason, leaving free will intact. Nautrally, both of them and their corresponding ally Hitonaris are at odds with one another in regards to how far one needs to go to quell chaos. New Law Zelenin has tried telling her "past" counterpart that their song won't bring about the Wold Of Silence desired by YHVH, that half of humanity is naturally resistant to its effects, and their utopia would result in genocide. But as with all knight templars, neither Zelenin is willin to budge in their worldviews
  • Law Zelenin looks down on benevolent creator deities like Aslan and The Love That Moves The Stars: on top of being 'false gods' as she puts it, they put far too much stock in 'humanity's inherent virtue', whatever the heck that is: humans have no virtue to speak of as far as Zelenin is concerned. Once she finds the proper pitch and timbre for her song to enthrall even them, she'll prove that only the absolute control of YHVH can bring peace to the world. Should that fail, she will do her duty as a soldier of God and (attempt to) destroy them. Naturally, New Law Zelenin is willing to defend these two gods, and while the Love That Moves The Stars approves of her newfound method of her song, Aslan is disappointed in her removing humanity's will to grow and rise up.
  • New Law Hitonari is admired by several deities who abhor violence and are idealistic enough to think that his world would be absolutely perfect. Among these is Peaceful!Markus, as he too prefers non-violence and advocates peaceful existence for his fellow androids.

• Exclusive to the Chaos paths:
  • As those who embrace the use of demons and heavily oppose the forces of Law, both Chaos Hitonaris have looked to adding more allies to their cause from the Hall of Demons, and other demons. (Old) Chaos Hitonari sought those who valued strength above all else, while New Chaos Hitonari prefered those who valued the right of freedom. The latter was hard-pressed to find allies than the former, but allies he did manage to find, mainly in the form of Sparda (despite his worldview, his son Vergil ), and the Aensland sisters.

• (New Chaos Hitonari is allied with good aligned demons like Sparda )
• Not liking to take orders more than they have to, both iterations of Jimenez and their corresponding supporting Hitonaris are members of Lucifer's Chaos Brigade, with the New Chaos iterations being more of Token Good Teammates. Chaos Jimenez is nursing ambitions to ascend to Lord of Chaos status, but that's still a little beyond his reach. He hasn't given up trying to make himself strong enough to go for it, though.
• Chaos Jimenez's alliance with Wesker has turned heads, particularly as he was the subject of the sort of mad science Wesker is known for. Honestly, Jimenez couldn't care less, so long as Wesker doesn't screw with any demons. Heck, trying to uplift humanity to survive in a wild, chaotic world is a noble cause in Jimenez's eyes. To this end, he's given Wesker a sample of the Delphinus Parasite. New Chaos Jimenez on the other hand isn't exactly opposed to the idea... as long as humanity is allowed to choose whether or not they accept this gift. But he suspects Wesker is more of the type to force his choice, so he's not friends with the mutated Mad Scientist.
• Despite his inhumanity, there's a flicker of Jimenez's old self in him: he's perfectly capable of showing kindness and camaraderie to those he deems worthy. An example of this is Luka: he admires the kid for overthrowing Ilias for the sake of monsters. While (Old) Chaos Jimenez has surrendered himself to his demonic instincts despite this respect, New Chaos Jimenez also sees Luka as an ally for the same reasons as his counterpart. And they don't actually hate each other as much as they thought they would unlike the Zelenins, since they and the Chaos Hitonaris both respect each other's strength and their displeasure for angels.
• New Chaos Jimenez eventually convinced his counterpart by pointing out the hypocrisy in his "survival of the fittest" creed when he took in Bugaboo, and that he couldn't have survived without Bugaboo sacrificing himself to save him. Unlike with Zelenin, (Old) Chaos Jimenez was successfully convinced and has started to regard his New counterpart's path of freedom over the path of strength as something to his liking. (Old) Chaos Hitonari was similarly convinced by New Chaos Hitonari through the old fashioned way.

DEMOuntable Next Integrated Capability Armor (DEMONICA)

• Returning To: The Armory
• s:

• Class Level: 5
• Appearance: A high-tech combat suit that comes in either gold and green, or black and red
• Museum Check: Denied, later Granted upon Tadano Hitonari's ascension
• Alignment: True Neutral, as it depends on its wearer
• Portfolio: Powered Armor, Magic-Technology Compatibility, Field Scanners, Adaptive Armor, Magikarp Power, Modular Adaptability
• Notable users: Flynn (has gotten his hands on both versions), Tadano Hitonari (all six incarnations)
• Former Users: Commander Gore, Zelenin, Jimenez
• Interested Parties: X-COM, most deities from the house of War, General Shepherd, Senator Armstrong, the God-Emperor of Mankind, The Phantom Thieves of Hearts, the Grineer, the Corpus, the Hazardous Environment Combat Unit, Black Ops, SCP Foundation, Global Occult Coalition, Lobotomy Corporation
• An advanced combat suit developed and sponsored by the United Nations, originally intended for all-environment use, which exceeded all expectations when it was shown to be an excellent choice for survival in the chaotic terrain of the Expanse (the Schwarzwelt). Its superior modular programming allows for an unprecedented degree of customization. Its worth was further confirmed when it was later proven capable of communicating with, allowing the user to recruit, and/or taking down demons thanks to the installation of a variant of Akemi Nakajima's Demon Summoning Program. Aside from this, it has scanners capable of detecting Forma, magic and alien presences, incoming hostile encounters, and studying field conditions. Its advanced circuitry augments the capabilities of the wearer, adjusting itself to their combat preferences to maximize effectiveness. All of this makes it a premium choice for baseline and superpowered personnel alike. However, its main weakness is that it requires considerable amounts of use in combat to reach peak efficiency.
• Externally resembles a Cyberman, who have no comment so far on these suits. There are two known variants: one in mostly black with red details, and another in gold with a green undersuit. While the black suit is more combat-oriented, the gold variant is significantly more powerful. A couple of DEMONICA suits were found, disassembled, in a certain Tokyo by Mikado Samurai Flynn. While still excellent military gear, it appears a botched reverse-engineering job significantly lowered its abilities, removing most of its Adaptive Ability in favor of more conventional armor. Flynn currently seeks to repair the damaged set he owns, and if possible, augment it by using his faithful AI companion Burroughs as the navigational AI for the armor.
• Several parties in the Pantheon became interested in acquiring DEMONICA technology. Most of the groups in question are military-affiliated deities or groups such as X-COM, most deities from the house of War, General Shepherd, and Senator Armstrong in particular. They intend, for the most part, to mass produce and use them against any and all potential enemies, all of them having been impressed by the suit's aforementioned combat capabilities. Not to mention The Grineer and the Corpus, alongside profiting off of it with the latter. Likewise, the God-Emperor of Mankind wants to make the gold variant standard issue armor for the Imperial Guard, seeing it as the ultimate weapon against Warp incursions (an armor that allows baseline humans to go toe to toe with Physical Gods and enables them to gain control over demons seems like a dream come true) though he wants to see if he can't tweak it so it comes with a gold undersuit too. And maybe add a few skulls for good measure.
  • Interestingly, there one demon who managed to acquire a personalized variant of the gold and green version. Said demon, one Jack Frost, has been training under Sergeant Hartmann. This particular one is different in that he actually passed and survived the Drill Sergeant's Training from Hell. When he finally earned the right to wear the DEMONICA, he became known from then on as Demonee-Ho, and quickly gained a reputation for his 100% success rate during operations in the field. One can also count the Hazardous Environment Combat Unit and the Black Ops among the interested parties. While the former already have the pretty impressive PCV in their arsenal, the DEMONICA's even more advanced capabilities might just give them the edge they need to fight more powerful aliens and monsters that litter the Pantheon. Both the SCP Foundation and the Global Occult Coalition would also be heavily invested in researching the DEMONICA and how they themselves can use it. And while their Agents already use E.G.O. for combat, Lobotomy Corporation is also intrigued with the Demon Summoning Program, at least.
  • As operators of Powered Armor, comparisons have been drawn to Iron Man's own suits, Gordon Freeman's HEV Suit, Master Chief's MJOLNIR armor, Doctor Doom's own armor (as much as he claims it to be beneath him), Lex Luthor's Warsuit, Steel's suit, the Doom Slayer's Preator Suit (though given his general stance against demons…), and so on.
• With Tadano Hitonari's ascension to the Pantheon (and them being surprised to discover that the DEMONICA was in the Pantheon's Treasury), a change of policy was in consideration in regards to requisitioning and reverse-engineering it. Thus this gave the Grand United Alliances of Good, Law, and Chaos a head start in research. The GUAs of Evil and Destruction, as well as the various Uprisings are now dedicated to capturing the Hitonaris in order to requisition their DEMONICAs for themselves. Other independent forces not among the above who have interest in the suits are trying the same.
• Because this suit improves by killing enemies, pacifist combatants will have a hard time making it stronger, though they can still use and recruit demons with it. One can still get it stronger by having their summoned demons kill on their behalf, though. The Phantom Thieves of Hearts (including Akechi) have also been seen with DEMONICA suits on occasion, though these are just outfits and nothing more. Some interest has been drawn to obtain real suits for themselves, though there's the whole "kill foes to give it power" thing, but Metaverse Shadows might qualify for that.

The Librarian from Discworld in the House of Knowledge needs a rework.

@RJ-19-CLOVIS-93 for both

@Nitroindigo

There were no "wings of rain" in the Dragonet Prophecy, but there are in the Hall of Familial Perspective now.

Okay. Time to break in another profile.

Knack, God of Tech-Demo Games

• Reasoning: When it comes to video games, a few of them are made specifically to demonstrate the software and hardware that runs them. The role of the video game Knack is to demonstrate the ability of the Play Station 4 to handle a large number of discrete objects on screen. Knack does this by its main character also named Knack, who is comprised of several independently rendered objects reaching up to the hundreds depending on his current size.
• Alternate Candidate: Monita

Here's what he looks like. He's a Sizeshifter, though.

I feel like he's a better fit than Monita as he himself is literally what's being shown off, lots and lots of objects being rendered all at once.

Monita however simply comes from a game that just so happens to be a tech demo from what I know.

for Knack.

First draft for Mitsuha. Looking for other entrepreneurs, those who have also provided modern amenities to a less civilized world (or time), those who would be opposed to such a thing, etc.

Also, where would be the best Hall for Giving Radio to the Romans?

Mitsuha Yamano, Goddess Of Providing Modern Conveniences To A Less Civilized World (Embarrassing Nickname Messenger of Lightning, Mitsuha Von Yamano, Viscountess Mitsuha)

• Lesser Goddess
• Potential Hall: To Be Determined
• Symbol: A Gold Coin with a dragon engraved in it
• Theme Songs: Hikatta Coin ga Shimesu Kata, Yappari Economy
• Alignment: Chaotic Good
• Portfolio: blessed by an other-dimensional being with the power to travel between worlds, recover from injuries quickly, and understand any language, uses this ability to sell modern goods to the fantasy world, mistaken for a child but really 18 years old, The Unfettered, I Gave My Word, wields a Beretta 93R with burst fire, Beware the Nice Ones, Becomes a viscountess after saving her kingdom of residence
• Domains: Dimensions, Wealth, Guns, Merchants, Royalty
• Allies: Anna, Naofumi's Party, Tom Nook, more to be added
  • Sometimes Works With: United Security and/or Battle Encounter Assault Recon (May need to choose between one or the other)
• Enemies: to be determined
• Opposed By: Batman
• At age 18, Mitsuha Yamano was in a bad spot in life. She lost both her parents and older brother, failed to get admitted into college, and was about to fall to her death. But then, she suddenly found herself in another, unfamiliar fantasy world. Not only that, after a few days in this world, she discovered she has the ability to return home at any time, and was blessed with the ability to understand any languages, even ones from this new world. Upon discovering this world uses precious metals for its currency, she gains a new goal. She plans on bringing goods from her world to this one, selling them for a profit, hoping to reach a sum total of 80,000 gold to retire on!
• One day, while trying to transfer a box of shampoo to the other world (it's a best-selling item at her place of business, General Store Mitsuha), Mitsuha found herself in yet another unfamiliar world. It was filled to the brim with tons of fictional characters, acting as some sort of land of gods. She vaguely recalled this area as that "Trope Pantheon" she read about in her spare time. One to jump on opportunities, she decided it would be a good idea to spend some time here, making some new connections with fellow merchants/tradesmen. Perhaps she could even make some of that coveted gold while here?
• Entry on her trope of choice, and individuals concerned about her business models
• Entry on her commonly-sold goods and services
• Entry on her relationships with allied merchants/sponsors
• Entry on merchants/businessmen she would not work with
• Entry on Yamano Cuisine, a cuisine named after Mitsuha consisting of foodstuff common in her world
• Entry on her relationship with private military contractors/mercenaries for hire
• Entry on her usage of guns, the likes of Batman would be opposed to that
• Entry covering end-of-series content and future aspirations

Two Touhou deities come to mind:

Kanako Yasaka (and by extension, the entire Moriya Shrine group) is one who relies on modern strategies and technology to gain faith in order to continue living in Gensokyo. Naturally, using modern amenities would come easily to her, and would use them liberally in a world of fantasy where the lifestyle of the past is still present.

Chimata Tenkyuu & by extension most of the hall of Commerce would be interested in her, either due to her fantasial connections or the fact that she also deals in military-grade weaponry (such as Sundowner). Chimata in particular is more representative of the lower-end merchants of the Pantheon.

Edited by PuzzarianIdeal on Jun 19th 2023 at 4:28:12 AM

I think Time Placement would work well.

For merchants, there's Tressa Colzione of the Eight Travelers, the Shopkeeper of the Eden Travelers and Recette Lemongrass.

For private military contractors, there's Big Boss.

@aa1205 I checked where she is from and I'd like to make a critique that her interacting with USEC and BEAR doesn't make a lot of sense.

• While it is true that USEC and BEAR are a pair of PMCs, I don't think they would be accepting of such client like her, given that I've looked at both works and have seen a stark difference in tone. Whereas the light novel is more of isekai with fantastical and somewhat slice-of-life atmosphere, Escape from Tarkov is more war-torn, brutal and more of a free-for-all kind of theme. I just don't see how someone like her can interact with a more down-to-earth type like the two companies.
• In addition, because of the isekai nature of her series, it would be best to fit her with PMCs that fit with similar-ish themes. Excessive mentioned Big Boss who I believe is more accurate for her given that Metal Gear has some fantastical (although more on technology-based) settings.

Just replace the two companies with Big Boss, is what I'm saying for consistency.

Speaking of consistency, does Surprisingly Elite Cannon Fodder really fit in Soldier Actions? Feels like it leans more on Soldier Archetypes.

Test run on the Pao Pao Cafe. I asked, and got the green light on its trope.

Pao Pao Cafe, Sacred Sanctuary of Local Hangouts

• Theme Songs:
  • Fatal Fury: Halema School of Capoeira's Battle Theme (Richard Meyer's Theme) and A Taste Of Honey (Bob Wilson's Theme)
  • King of Fighters: Ryuko no Hen (Team Mexico/Kyokugenryu Theme), How About a Trip to PAOPAO CAFÉ? (Team Art of Fighting Theme)
  • Capcom vs SNK: Sonic Party (Pao Pao Cafe Stage)
• A local bar and nightclub, located in South Town's Delta Park
• Symbols: The Pao Pao Cafe logo
• Alignment: True Neutral
• Domains: A Local Landmark That Doubles As A Fighting Stage
• Similar Locations: Kyokugenryu BBQ, L'Amour/Bar Illusion

Excessive-Menace's comment on Local Hangout being freed was not an explicit approval for your idea and having checked the comments between the initial proposal, the mention that the trope was indeed free, and now, there was never an approval for that idea.

Wait, you mean we can just slap that green text on as filler in the drafts?

There's no rule forbidding profiles from using colored text for WIP sections and other temporary things. For final drafts, it's similar to how the rest of the site handles colored texts; don't abuse it.

Here's the first draft of Pizzaface/Pizzahead. Basically a giant floating pizza that antagonizes Peppino, chasing him every time he doesn't escape the level in time. His true identity is that of a deranged pizza mascot that acts like a cartoon character.

• Anyone used to being chased down by giant monsters?

• Has anyone else fought pizzas, or at least any living food?

Pizzahead, God of Punishing Time-Wasting (Pizzaface, "Pizza Boy", Totino)

• Lesser God
• Symbol: Himself as Pizzaface, His smiling, giggling head as Pizzahead
• Theme Song: Unexpectancy, Parts 1 and 2 (Part 3 is more associated with Peppino and his Rage Breaking Point)
• Alignment: Chaotic Evil
• Portfolio: The Pizza Behind Peppino's Woes, Naturally The Final Opponent Faced, Anthropomorphic Food, Just A Gigantic Asshole In General, Laughs Up A Storm, Has Unclear Motives For His Actions (Other Than Amusement, Of Course)
  • As Pizzaface: Expressive Mask, One-Hit Kill, Incredibly Aggressive Tracking, Summons Minions To Fight For Him, Gains Arms When Needed, Is Really A Mech For...
  • As Pizzahead: The True Mastermind, Based Off The "Pizza Boy" Cutouts, Lean and Mean, Based Off Cartoons Of Old, Utterly Bizarre Fighting Style, Loves Taunting During Combat, Far Too Confident For His Own Good, Setting Up A Humiliating Downfall
• Domains: Pizza, Chases, Time Limits, Laughing
• Allies: Evil Otto, Sinistar, The Killer Tomatoes, Plankton
• Enemies: Peppino Spaghetti, Wario, The Ninja Turtles, The Cups, The Noid
• Interested In: The Fazbear Gang, The Banana Splits
• Pizzaface is an enigmatic floating pizza who, for no determinable reason, decided to try and blow up Peppino's Pizza using a laser canon mounted atop his Pizza Tower. Wanting to torment the poor Italian for his amusement, he told him of his plan in advance and goaded him into entering his domain, which he filled with traps and tricks to ward off any intruders. Pizzaface himself kept a sharp eye on Peppino and appeared every now and again just to torment him further, especially during Pizza Time, where he'd appear once the timer had run out and chase and kill Peppino on contact. After Peppino beat all of his tower guardians, all of which he manipulated into playing the role, the two squared off on top of the tower, where it's revealed that "Pizzaface" was a mere robot piloted by the real mastermind: Pizzahead, the deranged former mascot of a closed-down pizza joint with a chip on his shoulder regarding Peppino. Ultimately, Peppino's Rage Breaking Point, combined with Pizzahead's own overconfidence, ended up winning the fight, with the tower being destroyed with him still in it. Pizzahead managed to survive however, ready to cause more grief for Peppino in the future.
• It was a few months since Peppino had ascended to The Pantheon, and truth be told he was getting pretty comfortable with the place. Sure, it was heavily chaotic and he had made his share of enemies, but he'd also made plenty of friends who'd happily help him, and his restaurant was thriving thanks to people wanting to see the guy that took out the Pizza Tower. Even if it wasn't perfect, he still would take the realm over spending another minute in Pizza Tower with Pizzaface, who he hadn't seen in months. That all changed when, during a pizza delivery on his moped, he suddenly heard a very familiar laugh echo throughout the area. At that very moment, Peppino realized just who was laughing and immediately sped away, terrified out of his mind and wondering how on earth Pizzaface managed to find him in another dimension. Eventually, the giant pizza managed to corner him, but instead of just killing him, he giddily informs him that someone in The Pantheon was very impressed with Pizzaface and granted him a spot, and is now using his new position to get revenge on the chef. He didn't make it to the last part however, as Peppino had launched himself at Pizzaface while he was talking and started beating the snot out of him, ending with Pizzahead being yanked out of his mech and launched into the stratosphere with a clean uppercut. The two have since resumed their conflict, with Pizzaface/head launching numerous inane schemes to mess with Peppino while the chef has to deal with his shenanigans.
• While a good chunk of his time is often spent antagonizing Peppino, even he will reluctantly admit that it can get old. As such, he'll randomly decide to mess with someone else in the Pantheon and force them into a game of his: at any given moment, in a random area, a timer will appear and activate, signifying that everyone in said area, usually a building or maze-like area, should rush to the suddenly appearing exit immediately. If they don't escape in time, Pizzaface himself will appear and chase down anyone remaining, killing them on contact. Said areas are often filled with various tricks and traps to slow them down, from floating John Blocks to enemies attacking people. While there's a few areas he can't do this in, such as the Houses and most Domains, everywhere else is fair game and often comes with little warning.
