Trope Pantheons Discussion

@ Shinobi

Have an idea that satisfies both. Why don't I have the Looper and Jonesy be in the same profile?

Pantheon server for all who click here. Freaking lost $410 and I am hunting down for a nuke to reign down.

Not sure about that. It might work, but ultimately feel the Looper is just kinda fluff when paired with someone else.

What else can I say about Comicron-1 that hasn't been said?

Comicron-1 (formerly Lord Vyce's ship)

• Hall: Vehicles Depot (The Great Treasury)
• Appearance: A V-styled spaceship
• Class Level: 3 (2 under Vyce's control)
• Museum Check: Granted (requires the current owner's permission, though)
• Alignment: Lawful Good with its current A.I, Lawful Evil when under Vyce's command. True Neutral without its current A.I
• Portfolio: Cool Starship, Space Fighter, A Unique Design Near-Impossible To Repair Without Use Of The Forge, Wave-Motion Gun, Hard Light, Best Assets Blocked Off Without Vyce But Still Formidable, Constructed From Multiple Universes' Materials, having a Benevolent A.I.
• Domains: Interdimensionality, Conquest (Formerly), Review Videos (Currently), Spaceships, Teleporters, Strange Happenings (in general)
• Owner: Linkara (current owner), Lord Vyce (creator and original owner)
• A.I: NIMUE (non-ascended)
• Ship mechanic: 90s Dude
• Lord Vyce has had many allies in his pursuit of the Entity, but all of them came and gone. The only thing left was his powerful spaceship, a complicated vehicle with material from multiple universes. It utilizes something known as the Forge, which can convert any material nearby to repair the ship. For times unknown it was under his possession, until he was defeated by Linkara and his allies. Many of the ship's abilities were locked without Vyce but it still a formidable ship, and one of Linkara's best assets against the often bizarre enemies he deals with. He's dubbed the ship Comicron-1, and has occasionally made comic book reviews on the ship.
• Currently located in Earth orbit, making up Linkara's "Arsenal of Freedom", and being observed by the US government as a matter of security. Much to the original owner's protest, Linkara has allowed Comicron-1 to show up in the Vehicles Depot. However you need his formal permission before using the ship. As an unabashed nerd he was pretty excited to see it in the same location as the Batmobile and the DeLorean Time Machine. Unfortunately for him this also meant it was in the same Hall of the USG Ishimura. The fear of Necromorphs getting onto the Comicron-1 has him tempted to let Lord Vyce open up some protective functions, but he doesn't think it's worth the risk after Vyce broke their Enemy Mine as he refused to accept the Entity was dead and still argues he's needed to "protect" the multiverse.
• As it is, Comicron-1 isn't able to travel to other universes like it was under Lord Vyce. It can go as far enough as Jupiter's orbit, though presumably it can't got FTL. Linkara hasn't tried to at least. Given the cosmic threats he once merely reviewed are in the Trope Pantheon like him, such as Planet Remina, he wishes its full capabilities aren't locked. Petitions for helping the ship reach its full capabilities have been sent to Team Lightyear and the Green Lantern Corps. No-one who knows how to improve it has managed to make a permanent upgrade. Currently he'll mulling over whether it'd be easier to just find one of Nebby's species and use them for multiversal travel.
  Linkara: "Damnit, why do I have to deal with this comic book trope!"
• Almost certainly has an FTL drive, though Linkara has never demonstrated it in part because he's never had to go that far into space, the furthest he's gone being Jupiter's orbit which doesn't require him to exceed c to reach at the time he went there. Vyce has stated that yes it does, that should be obvious, but hasn't gone into more detail and alludes to it being one of the higher functions he refuses to unlock until he gets control of the ship again. Professor Farnsworth muses that as it is it's no good if he wants to use it to make interstellar deliveries, but Linkara doesn't care about that since among other reasons he's financially stable. Rick Sanchez regularly roasts Comicron-1 as looking like a nerd's wet dream or something. His ship is a simple UFO but it can travel interstellar and interdimensional distances with ease and comes equipped with a variety of weapons. While Rick has a point, Linkara refuses to rise to the bait.
• In a way, Comicron-1 could count as a deity and a treasure, as it is piloted by an A.I called NIMUE. She does double duty performing security, and looks kind of like HAL 9000. However unlike him, she performs as intended and rolls her avatar's eyes at her physical design being similar to it. However like everyone else if she wants to be a deity she has to apply and she can exist independently of Comicron-1 if need be. Since the ship itself is part of the Trope Pantheon she is able to communicate to other Spaceship Girl AIs, such as EDI and Cortana. She doesn't feel the need to make a humanoid avatar, at least right now, but she does have a perceived feminine avatar in digital space. Don't try to override her, especially with your own consciousness; Vyce barely survived her retaliation. Unfortunately beings like SKYNET and Sigma think they have a good shot at succeeding where she failed, and they might be right to think so.
  • Since Linkara's favorite film is Camelot, some think that's where he got the name for the AI. Merlin has been pondering visiting Comicron-1 with that in knowledge.
• Has a scout ship called the Vigilant which can be modified into a Space Fighter, and an intended second model called Comicron-2 after Comicron-1 ended up out of commission on the moon. Well, had, Vyce ended up taking Comicron-2 to kill the Entity only to fall into the collapsing Pocket Dimension meant for the now dead for real Entity. Unfortunately, for Vyce, he didn't come back with it, but he muses its design is inferior due to being a Glass Cannon. The Grand United Alliance of Good reached out to Linkara after entering and winning the recent Tournament of Champions saying they want to support. The absolute Toku fan that he is, the GUAG members he gets support of the most from are the Power Rangers. He wants to figure out how to let the Comicron-1 has a mecha mode but the design of the ship is enough of a Black Box no progress in doing so has been made.
• You have to be invited to enter Comicron-1. The Nostalgia Critic was kind of annoyed he doesn't have this badass ship, having to settle to make his house a spaceship, and due to out of universe events Linkara isn't enthused about inviting him. He might think differently if he or the Angry Video Game Nerd want to help him deal with his or mutual enemies. Villains almost never get an invitation even if Linkara's a fan of them for security reasons. One of the reasons why it's "almost" is because Snowflame can show up since he's kind of roomies with the reviewer (and he thinks he's a personal Ensemble Dark Horse). He initially allowed superheroes to come in unannounced but grew sick of Batman trying to make contingency plans for Comicron-1 so from now on they need an invitation. Blue Beetle and Booster Gold are common visitors.
• Though villains almost never get an invitation, there are blatant perma-ban lists. Complete Monsters, of course they're not invited. Those that push more into existential threat territory for him/being very OP, also never allowed entry. He doesn't want SKYNET or any of its loyal agents due to experience with Mechakara. However he has also permanently banned Amanda Waller despite her being more an occasional/ambiguous villain. Why? Simple; she keeps trying to shut his show down and seize his assets for the US government due to not trusting him, or making her own contingencies in case he goes rogue. Being a comic book fan, he feels those contingencies would be at best questionable.
  Linkara: You know I've read "JLA: Tower of Babel right? I've seen how a full on superhero's contingencies can go belly-up, so I'm sure as hell not trusting you! Also FYI, Batman was meant to be seen in the wrong."
• Thanks to the holodeck, Linkara is able to make Comicron-1 his home away from home. The ship utilizes repurposed Cybermats made by Linkara's tech expert Dr Linksano. No, not Dr Insano, but his brother from another universe^note his real name is Oscar Schlumper. Linkara's old nemesis was pretty pissed off to see even after a decade he still has ownership of Lord Vyce's ship and he plans to take control of the ship for himself. Lionel Hutz attempted to make some sort of lawsuit over these "borrowed assets", but the crew of the USS Enterprise roll their eyes at a harmless Shout-Out. Unfortunately the Cybermen had another idea, in that they are trying to control the repurposed Cybermats in order to take the ship for themselves.
• SCP-2578-D has been communicating with Comicron-1 after noticing its presence in Earth orbit. The Kill Sat stated that it sees even greater potential for heroism than Linkara thinks, as he could use the ship to intimidate dictators into surrendering power and allowing more freedom. Linkara tacitly refuses as he believes this would be Jumping Off the Slippery Slope; he had a major reality call after being called out for his unheroic actions and he witnessed his hologram clone to plan to use it against Marvel and DC editors to force them to improve the quality of comic books. He's a comic-loving nerd and he's not going to indulge in the behavior of characters like The Authority. The SCPs Hall of Military Technology has been observing the ship for its potential. Stan Smith has tried to exploit his CIA status to go on the ship under the pretense of the US government monitoring it, but Linkara saw right through it and kicked him off since he would rather avoid any of his 'verse's craziness on his ship...he has enough weirdness on his own.

I'll update the Guangdong profile later on, but given that some users have misinterpreted some of the Chief Executives' actions, I've decided to provide a whole story summary of Guangdong in The New Order: Last Days of Europe:

I have a new deity suggestion!

• The Underworld Commanders, Godly Representatives of Misrepresented Mythology

As a series featuring a world based upon Greek Mythology, it's no surprise that figures from the myths show up... just not in the way you'd expect. In the first game, Thanatos is referred to as "Tanatos" in English, and is seemingly nothing more than a snake who jumped off Medusa's head. Pandora is an evil blob who is also the Goddess of Disaster and Calamity instead of a Human Woman, Hewdraw, the Hydra analogue has but one head, Twinbellows, the Cerberus analogue has just two, and is never seen directly guarding the Underworld, and so on. In the sequel this is further messed around with. Tanatos goes by his proper name, and is pronounced as the God of Death... with his misnaming being acknowledged and Played for Laughs, Pandora gets her Human Form back but is still the Goddess of Calamity, Hewdraw gets two more heads, but with their regeneration inverted (each head can grow a new body, and not one body re growing new heads) and Twinbellows is still not encountered in the Underworld. Overall they still aren't fully accurate equivalents.

"May your heart be your guiding key"

Almost done with the Tetsuos. Sorry if my paragraph on the Borg and Cybermen is kind of barebones but I'm just not deep in Doctor Who or Star Trek lore.

• Rivals:(Yatsu)The Borg Collective
• Of Interest to:The SCP Foundation
• Pitied by: Meilin Lee(mostly Tomoo)
• The story of the "Iron Men" begins with an average Japanese Salaryman and his girlfriend. One day, the unassuming businessman was driving home with his girlfriend until they accidentally ran over a pedestrian. This pedestrian, however, was the man known as "the Metal Fetishist" so called for his unusual fixation on metal applied to his body. The couple, unaware of this, believed the man dead, hid his body, and tried to move past their dark deed. But the Salaryman had received a curse or perhaps gift from the Fetishist. The man's body slowly began taking on the properties of metal, his mind plagued with horrific visions of a cybernetic nightmare. Eventually the Salaryman's transformation led to his girlfriend's death, and the Metal madman himself arrived to complete the transformation as part of his mad desire to share his agony with his victim. The two engaged in a brutal battle of metal and flesh, eventually combining into a monstrosity that sought to rust away the world with their newfound "love".
• At least that's how one version of the story goes. Another account tells of a salaryman named Tomoo, who led an ordinary life with a loving wife and child, but had no memory of his past. That life was shattered when Yatsu, AKA the Metal Fetishist, targeted him for his depraved plans. Tomoo's young son was murdered, and he plunged into despair, awakening the metal-morphing powers he shared with Yatsu-actually his brother. Tomoo went on a brutal rampage against Yatsu's cult to save his wife, and soon discovered the truth of his past. The boys' father was a metal molding maniac as well, experimenting on his children to create human weapons. With this awful revelation, Tomoo succumbed to his brother's urging and evolved into a massive, tank like juggernaut. Amid the destruction however, it seems Tomoo found peace, as he apparently shifted back to human form with his wife and revived son.
  • Some time later Yatsu resurfaced, this time targeting another Cyborg named Anthony. Yatsu threatened Anthony's son to control him as a new weapon. But the super Cyborg fought the Metal Fetishist and ultimately averted suffering Tomoo's fate, and Yatsu was absorbed by Anthony's own power, gone for good...at least for now.
• Eventually the Salaryman(Tomoo) was welcomed into the Pantheon gates. He hoped to find a nice place to settle down and put his metal nightmare behind him. Unfortunately there was a reason he was there, and the other inductee surfaced shortly after. Initially disoriented, the Metal Fetishist soon set to work seeking new metal to absorb and fuse with for power and pleasure. Tomoo was filled with terror as he realized his brother was coming for him. Yatsu seeks to expand his love of chaos and transform the Pantheon into his twisted view of beauty, and he wants to be one with Tomoo to do it.
• Applies to Both:
  • Despite everything, neither will say they hate the other(although neither are mentally sound). The Salaryman/Tomoo on some level feels guilty for indirectly causing his enemy's transformation, as in one timeline he left Yatsu for dead and in another his murder of their parents inspired the boy with a love of devastation. The Metal Fetishist/Yatsu claims their "love" transcends mortal flesh and hopes that someday Tomoo will come to see his point of view. Nobody sane buys that though.
  • Although they outwardly appear to human, both Yatsu and Tomoo will morph into horrifying machine monsters under stress, leaving unpredictable devastation where they go. Tomoo has tried to seek help for this, leading to him joining a "support group" of sorts with similar individuals like Dr. Bruce Banner and the Lycanthrope Larry Talbot. Banner knows well the trauma of being a walking weapon, and he's shared Tomoo some techniques to tame his anger. Yatsu, meanwhile, seeks to unleash the full extent of his power and enjoys the company of like-minded monsters, especially of the mechanical variety. One such is the Android psychopath Ultron, whose desire to replace humanity with cybernetic extensions of himself earned him the Metal Fetishist's respect. By chance, one of Tomoo's circle is Dr. Hank Pym, Ultron's creator. Pym is as ashamed of his monstrous son as Tomoo is his brother. Both agree their counterparts represent the worst impulses of themselves, and that it's their responsibility to destroy them.
  • A similar duo is the psychic "Scanner" terrorist Darryl Revok and his brother Cameron Vale. Despite his lack of social skills, Vale was interested in Tomoo's condition and believes he's found another ally. Revok, on the other hand, has decided that both Metal men are too dangerous and psychotic to be controlled. He's able to effectively strike Yatsu mentally, but the maniac's biomechanical nature allows him to bounce back quickly. Revok is still planning to destroy the metal monster, and Yatsu sneers at his arrogance.
  • Neither of them are friends to the mysterious mage called "the Enchantress". Tomoo in his case considers her no better then the Metal Fetishist, as she transforms people in karmic ways while also affecting innocent bystanders. Yatsu on the other hand is annoyed by her self-righteousness, as he is quite proudly open about being a destruction loving force of evil. The Enchantress doesn't view them worth her time though, as they're already in frequent psychological and physical agony.
  • If there's one ideal they share, it's that they both loathe abusive parents, especially since in one timeline their father was a selfish monster who turned them into what they are. While Yatsu isn't much better than his dad, he still sees his father in people like Ozai and seeks to destroy everything he built. Tomoo especially has it in for men like Gendo Ikari and Shou Tucker, who used their own children for their own selfish experiments, which in the case of Ikari had truly apocalyptic results. Dr. Gero stands out as the most similar, as while he did care for his son, he still created killing machines both organic and mechanical. Further unnerving Tomoo is that Gero has expressed interest in the two, believing he may have a better chance of studying and harnessing their powers.
  • The SCP Foundation keeps a close watch on the two as they specialize in containing anomalous and especially dangerous beings and phenomena. Tomoo is willing to cooperate if it means helping control his abilities, but Yatsu has given them more trouble. Even worse, he shows a fascination with the various monsters the Foundation contains. Of particular interest is SCP 217, the Clockwork Virus. Yatsu sees it as a lifeform akin to himself and seeks to join it in reformatting the Earth. Thankfully, he's been held at bay for now.
• Applies To Tomoo:
  • A certain nightmare-walking creature began appearing in the poor guy's dreams, being a fan of that level of Body Horror and mental anguish. Krueger noted with amusement that the undertones of Tomoo and Yatsu's relationship reminds him of a time when he was a malevolent force symbolizing repressed homosexuality trying to take over another young man's body. Freddy hoped to possess Tomoo and use his devastating powers in the waking world. Fortunately, a cyborg lifeform isn't so easy to control, and Freddy was forced to eject. He was disappointed but still shows interest in the Iron Men's potential.
  Freddy: Aw, you're no fun. But your friend? He seems like my kind of guy.
  • In terms of being an unassuming office guy transformed into a strange creature, Gregor Samsa can relate to Tomoo's plight. He's also as devoted to his family as his cyborg counterpart, though perhaps not to the extent Tomoo gets when you threaten his wife and son. Despite Samsa's own horrible situation, Tomoo would say Gregor's father was still better than his own, as at least he didn't intentionally mutate his children.
• Applies to Yatsu:
  • He's considered an insane abomination even among other world conquerors, if only that his insanity and dangerous powers make him too unpredictable. Besides Ultron, however, a few admire his monstrous ambition. Cell, the aformentioned Dr. Gero's deadliest creation, is on a journey to perfect himself and sees Yatsu's mission of spreading "the beauty of destruction" as similar. The cyborg Kaiju Gigan is generally a weapon for whoever points him somewhere, but Yatsu's technopathy lets him to communicate with the beast on more even footing, promising him new upgrades and places to destroy. Hank Henshaw, the hopelessly misanthropic Cyborg Superman, joins with Yatsu in the belief a fellow cybernetic entity can help bring an end to his tortured existence and destroy the world that spawned them. He's also caught the attention of SKYNET, who's thrilled at the prospect of creating man-machine hybrid Terminators with the Fetishist's unique powers. The evil AI assigned the shape-shifting T-1000 as a diplomat. A similarly sociopathic machine called AM(Allied Mastercomputer) has admitted it's impressed that a young human could transcend into a being that rivals itself in power and malice. Yatsu has experience as a cult leader, and preaches a new world of machines where organics are slaves and fuel, every evil automaton's dream.
  • One group that shares his beliefs is the bionically enhanced race known as the Cybermen. The Cybermen have battled to create a technological dystopia across different timelines, and Yatsu has offered to aid them in their crusade. Although he can't assume command from the Cyber Controller, Yatsu is happy to provide new hosts to the cyberization process. Another race, the similarly cybernetic Borg, isn't happy with Yatsu's ambitious, wild card personality. The Collective has decided to exterminate his individuality, a feat easier said than done, and Yatsu has vowed to have the collective answer to him.
  • Because of his metal-manipulating abilities, any descent person with this power deems him a disgusting monstrosity. Even mutant revolutionary Magneto, who generally dislikes humanity, believes Yatsu is a rabid dog who needs to be put down, much to the latter's disappointment, as he thinks Magneto could've been a great partner. Toph Bei Fong, hailing from a world where people can manipulate elements, has stated he's an insult to Benders everywhere. None of this really bothers the Metal Fetishist, as he thinks sooner or later, they'll all be absorbed into his glorious metal and succumb to his twisted vision.
  • Unsurprisingly, most heroes and villains who don't believe in organic subjugation are also very much opposed to the cyborg's insanity. Pamela Isley is the inverse of Yatsu, a former human mutant with godlike power over plants, but even she recognizes that he's a worse monster than her. Gorilla Grodd is a megalomaniacal beast but he still has the sense to see the Metal monster as a threat to all apekind. Cyborg/Victor Stone is a man who grapples with his human and robotic halves. Yatsu attempted to corrupt his cybernetics, but Victor retaliated with a special anti virus he designed.

Religious Structure has been made, Religious Practice has been fixed, and The Flagellant has been moved to Torture and Mutilation.

The Cybermen were created to as a way to allow the people to survive. They view their actions of turning people into more Cyberman as saving the people from disease, radiation and death. The Cybermen handles on their heads are emotion suppressors so they wouldn't hate him.

"Us weirdos have to stick together!"

As it's a trope I'm pondering for an idea myself, I am wondering if anyone has an idea in mind for Bat People

For either, Sol is a Kid Hero, and being raised communally, sees their entire settlement as one big family.

Love ruins all.

As a veterinarian, Camila would be be welcomed by the House of Beasts and Fauna, especially Steven Irwin and Iwashiro Tesshou.

What's funny is that the first words Luz says after her and Amity's first on the lips kiss is "crikey", and we earlier saw that Camila gets teary eyed watching nature and animal documentaries with Luz and Vee, so she's probably a fan of Irwin's. Also what hall is the other person in?

"Us weirdos have to stick together!"

there are a huge number of guys in the pantheon who'd make Eda's shitlist. Judge Frollo and Father Mozgus, for being monstrous hypocritical inquisitioners. Gendo Ikari, Bondrewd, and Shou Tucker for putting their work before their children in the worst way possible. Griffith for...well, being Griffith. Also appropriating majestic bird imagery for his ego.

Also anybody else realize Eda is a Virtuous Character Copy of the Other Mother/Beldam? I'd imagine Eda would not like that woman.

In terms of allies, Mei lee(Turning Red) is also a shapeshifter who initially thought her transformation a curse, while Larry Talbot is probably the most famous lycanthrope ever. Guts would also work as an ally as he's a pretty chill guy when he's not overcome by murderous rage.

For Hooty, I can imagine him being a comedic foil for Constance the Monster House, as he's a friendly house who's nice to everyone while she freaking eats children.

And not to shill characters I ascended recently, but poor Tim Barnett also suffers from a magical curse on account of being trapped as a tree.

First draft of Futurama's Neptune. What characters have also dealt with the eighth planet?

Neptune, Divine Gas Giant Treated Like It Has A Solid Surface

• Hall: Astronomical Bodies (House of Dominions Expansion)
• Description
  • In Futurama: A bluish planet with an Arctic tundra and solid ground, harsh but livable
  • In real life: A bluish "ice giant" (gas giant with a large icy interior) with storms raging up to twice the speed of sound^note so not livable
• Symbol: Robot Santa's hat over a trident
• Alignment: True Neutral for most of the planet; Lawful Evil for its polar region
• Portfolio: Strolling on Jupiter, Home To Robot Santa's Workshop And The Neptunians, Grim Up North IN SPACE!!
• Domains: Tundras, Santa Claus, Neptunian aliens, Astronomical Bodies, Yetis
• Sacred to: Robot Santa Claus, Michiru Kaioh/Sailor Neptune
• Unholy to: Anyone Robot Santa declares naughty (so almost everyone here and almost everyone else) (explicit to the Arctic region)
• Barred entry: The Iris
• The eighth planet in the Sol System is Neptune, discovered by Earthlings in the 1840s. A cool, bluish planet, it is home to the Neptunians, four-armed humanoids with piggish noses and being famed for their cooking. In the 29th century Robot Santa Claus was made and moved to its North Pole, where he set up his Death Fortress and a toy shop that is basically never used since virtually everyone is branded naughty. It has a primarily arctic environment, but since what's been seen on the surface is the polar region that might just be that area. It has a number of moons, the biggest of which is Triton. Triton has its own fauna, and both bodies are home to yetis.
• The ascension of Neptune was somewhat unique amongst its fellow Sol System planets, in that rather than being the "real" version of the planet that acts as a Composite Character, it was explicitly the version from Futurama. And there's a good reason why; Neptune in general didn't really have enough to get a place in the Dominions Expansion, and Futurama's Neptune had something specific going for it; Strolling on Jupiter. In real life, Neptune is what's known as an ice giant and thus has no solid surface. Its also far colder, with a "surface" temperature under -200 degrees Celsius. Its stormy winds can reach over 2000 km/h and the only remotely Earth-like thing about it is the gravity (just a bit more). There's been no evidence Futurama's Neptune was ever terraformed, and Farnsworth thinks that it's simply because "people of the Stupid Ages didn't have enough info". That said, a portal occasionally shows up in this Neptune's orbit that lets people see other, more accurate Neptunes in the multiverse.
• The fact it has a solid surface and is habitable is something that Wonder Woman remembers, way back in the day, when she dealt with some invaders from there and eventually helped overthrow their dictator. She's not the only person who recalls a gas giant being a lot less gassy, and not just (a) Neptune. John Carter has visited Jupiter in the unfinished book Skeleton Men of Jupiter which had forests and water, and is inhabited by two sentient races. Porky Pig and Sylvester were once abducted by aliens from Jupiter and ended up on the body no worse for wear. Never mind that if they were solid planets, they'd have a lot more mass and consequentially more severe gravity. This all said, one mortal actually proposed a solid concept for how the real Neptune could be colonized. It still wouldn't fit the experiences of these deities, mind you.
• Significantly increased habitability asides, Futurama's Neptune is not a popular place to visit. The reason for this is down to Robot Santa Claus, who rules as a tyrant over the Neptunians in the Arctic. They look like Christmas Elves yes, but that is more down to them being malnourished because Robot Santa doesn't feed them enough. Unless it's X-Mas he almost never leaves, and if anyone finds themselves in his territory should prepare for some murder and merry mayhem. His Death Fortress was raided by the original, organic Santa and Nicholas St North in order to depose his rule, but the collateral damage was becoming too much. Instead, an agreement was made; Robot Santa would not unduly try to kill, main, or injure visitors to the Neptunian polar region and double the portions of his "elves", in exchange for having their promise they will protect his planet from interlopers. Robot Santa reluctantly agreed to this...however he is still conniving in stretching the "unduly" part to his favor without breaking the agreement.
• Winterbolt and SCP-4666 aspire to conquer Neptune for themselves...well, mainly Winterbolt. The Yule Man was content with his morbid actions in Earth's Arctic regions and went alongside the former's plan more to try something fresh with the Neptunians, and decided to start by taking over the relatively obscure Neptunian South Pole. Even Robot Santa was shocked to see the results of a Weissnacht, though that might just be because he doesn't list his planet's residents into the naughty/nice lists. In order to test the other Santa would live up to their agreement, he called them up to deal with his problem before they started spreading across the rest of the planet, while he watched with a bunch of X-Mas cookies in hand. To those outside his purview, Robot Santa has pushed the Neptunian politicians to make more weapons to protect their homeworld. After all, doing so helps Robot Santa's weapons factories and protects his planet.
• The planet is named after the Roman god Neptune, aka Poseidon. He had initially considered claiming the planet, mainly in the name of flexing his ego, but with how inhospitable the actual Neptune was he didn't feel like it. However Futurama's Neptune is something he could try to claim since it does have liquid water, if often covered by ice...it's still not something he's all too interested in. Since his programming doesn't account for gods on the naughty or nice spectrum (possibly relating to his friendship with the Chanukah Zombie) Robot Santa isn't gonna do anything in response but he is watching him in case Poseidon pulls something. With the original Neptune absent, Sailor Neptune doesn't have as much authority or connection over Futurama's, but she's still considered a guardian of the planet. It's for this reason she's one of the very few people on Robot Santa's nice list.
• Outside of the Neptunian Arctic, the Neptunians are a strong and relatively tall species who are well-known for their cooking. One of the best chefs on Earth is a Neptunian called Elzar. A staple of their dishes is the Neptunian space slug, more specifically the greenish-yellow one. Don't try the purple one though, since they cause diarrhea. Sometimes they can be domesticated. As a defensive maneuver, they can inflate themselves to a large size, and like Earth slug they shrivel up with salt. So long as you don't use too much salt they make a nice staple food, so mortal residents have been selling these space slugs to the House of Food. Star Wars deities have noticed they seem to be based off the Gormaanda. Neptunians are a common immigrant on Earth and they usually make their living in the service sector. There's a place called Little Neptune in New New York if you want a microcosm of their culture.
• Many have wanted to Take Over the World. Some have wanted to take over the moon, or Mars. But conquering Neptune? It's practically never heard. Even Robot Santa is only ruler of the Arctic region of Neptune. Aphoom-Zhah did, however. Way back when Neptune was known as Yaksh it had visited and it wishes to take Neptune for itself, claiming it to be its right. Never mind this was a different Neptune. Despite being a Great Old One, it is still seen as less of a threat to the planet than the Iris is. The Iris had at some point mutated its Neptune into something unrecognizable. When it plans to invades the Solar System of the 31st century, this Neptune is expected to be its first target. If anything could unite all the Neptunians and those who immigrated there, it would be in opposition to this Eldritch Abomination.

Majin Buu is infamous for successfully blowing up the Earth, as well as entire galaxies worth of planets, so Neptune having an actual surface would just make it even easier for Buu to nuke it out of existence.

The Collector is a young and extremely active child who's ludicrously broken Reality Warper powers allows them to casually flick celestial bodies around like pinballs or moving a slider on a touch screen, among other things.

Anyone have further interactions for The Residents of The Owl House and Camila?

Edit: Also, one other thing RJ! I recall that Timmy Turner once made a wish for every day to be Christmas and in his universe, Jupiter has a solid surface.

"Us weirdos have to stick together!"

How does this look?

Monsignor Ronald Arbuthnott Knox, God of Fair Play Mysteries(Archbishop Knox)

• Borderline Demigod, Unknown Rank as a Witch Hunter
• Symbol: The Knox Bible
• Alignment: Neutral Good

• Portfolio: From Anglican to Catholic Priest, disliked the ambivalence of the Anglican Church which led to to him getting cut out of his father's will, Vow of Celibacy, Deadpan Snarker, used Scholarships to make his way in Oxford, Satirized both religious and secular matters

• Herald: His "daughter" Dlanor A. Knox
• Allies: God(Bruce Almighty), God (God, the Devil and Bob), Battler Ushiromiya, Sherlock Holmes, Jeanne D'Arc, Saint George and Martha, Conan Edogawa, John Watson, Hercule Poirot, Columbo, Wright Anything Agency
  • Catholic Clergy: Alexander Anderson, Erica Fontaine, Father James O'Flaherty, Father Karras and Father Merrin, Garterbelt, The Nuns and Sisters From Sister Act, Xenovia Quartia, Irina Shidou

• Teeth-Clenched Teamwork with: Luz Noceda and Amity Blight

• Enemies: Dis, The Godhand, Griffith, Emperor Belos, YHVH, Claude Frollo, Kirei Kotomine, The God-Emperor of Mankind, William Stryker

• Mystery stories distinguish themselves from the thriller and horror genres not by simply having mystery, but by having that mystery being "fair": a logical result of the story's information, perhaps even solvable before the grand reveal. However, things were not always this way. Mystery stories were originally written to dangle a mystery in front of the reader and then show off the intelligence of detectives through contrived jumps in reason and observation. But in the Golden Age of Mystery, the genre came into its own by bringing readers into the interactive detective experience. The man who codified this age of Fair Mysteries was not a critic but the writer and Catholic Priest Ronald Knox.
  • Born in 1888 to the future Bishop of Manchester, Knox gained the respect of both peers and professors at Oxford, but what he really wanted to do was become a priest. Taking a vow of celibacy at 17, he was ordained as an Anglican priest and became the chaplain of Trinity College. Only 5 years later he resigned as an Anglican priest and became a Catholic Priest, to the great displeasure of his father, the Anglican Bishop of Manchester. From then on he became a highly respected priest, theologian, and Catholic apologist, with such feats as creating his own translation of the Bible and being denoted as a Protonotary apostolic by Pope Pius XII. However, he is also known for his work in analyzing and codifying the mystery genre through his mystery stories and the creation of the Knox's Decalogue.

• No one knows how or when Ronald Knox ascended, but the first time he was seen was when a man with fatal injuries entered a church late at night. While the chapel was supposed to be empty when the man began his confession someone on the other side of the confession box replied to him. It was later discovered that this mysterious figure was none other than Knox, who believed that the last thing to be done for a dying man was to "Hear his confession and give him absolution".

• As a theologian, Knox is interested in discovering the nature and thinking of god. Unfortunately, in the Pantheon there are seemingly multiple versions of God, so he has his work cut out for him. So far, Knox has used this incredible opportunity to ask the God who is friends with Bob and the God who talked to Bruce about their jobs and their views on various subjects, but hasn't gotten any substantive answers.
  • Knox opposes the forces of evil, especially those with demonic natures as part of being a good Christian. He is especially concerned about Dis, who is apparently the source of the rest of the Satans in the Pantheon, and the Godhand, who operate in a world where they are not balanced out by good counterparts. Knox has tried warning others about Griffith's deceptive nature through his writings, but the forces of evil are very good at creating counternarratives to diminish the impact.

• While he is a Catholic priest, Knox gets along perfectly with other kinds of Christians in the Pantheon as well as those of other regions. However, he seems to get into debates about religion very often, where his experience as a theologian makes him formidable. Deities now joke that "when Ronald starts debating religion, it's time to leave the event". In the Pantheon, he takes the position of Elysium Academy's head chaplain and as a theology teacher. Due to the diverse religious landscape of the Pantheon, this position has forced him to learn about many of the other religions to properly perform his duties. His opinion on these other religions? "They are all very interesting, but none of them match up with the Catholic tradition".
  • Being a Protonotary apostolic technically gives Knox authority below only the pope(citation required). This makes him the highest-ranking Catholic in the Pantheon. Instead of using his rank as a means of influence, he instead uses his charisma to smooth over disagreements between his fellow clergy and coordinate their efforts, becoming their de facto leader. This is a good change from the general lack of coordination from before his ascension, although he is often exasperated and frustrated by Alexander Anderson's enthusiasm for violence or Gaterbelt's inappropriate love for children due to the work of keeping them in line.
  • Of course, Knox loathes completely evil clergy who sully both God and Church. Chief among these are Claude Frollo(who was also the Archdeacon in the Book), who set Paris aflame due to his hypocritical lust, and Kirei Kotomine for kidnapping children to provide Gilgamesh with magical energy and plotting to bring about All the World's Evil. However, he does acknowledge that both men had reasons for what they did, albeit twisted ones, and prays that god will forgive their sins. However, the Protestant William Stryker has no excuse to be so hateful towards mutants, and knox does his best to denounce the hateful preacher at every turn.
  • Outside of the church, Knox is also grateful to meet other Christian figures such as the Saints in the Pantheon. He especially admires Jeanne D'Arc for her ability to inspire hope in others. Sometimes, Knox will even help her through her writing classes, in which she has shown amazing progress. Through their newfound friendship, Ronald also learned about YHVH, the false god who tried bringing the Maiden of Orleans over to his side for the cause of a corrupted law. Knox has vowed to use his influence to help steer people away from these evil versions of the Abrahamic god.
  • Those who turned away from the church for both understandable and not understandable reasons

• While he died of cancer at the age of 69 in Real Life, in the universe of Umineko: When They Cry, the circumstances of his death are much more mysterious. In this universe, he was the Head Inquisitor of the Great Court of Heaven who created Knox's decalogue as weapons to combat witches(the sources of mystery), but was interrogated and executed by his daughter Dlanor A. Knox. For this reason, Dlanor appears as Ronald's herald whenever she a break away from her busy job, and the two seem to have a healthy relationship as father and daughter. It is speculated that Dlanor is either adopted given how the two look so different or that Dlanor is the embodiment of the Decalogue, which makes Knox her father because he "created" her. When asked about his past as a witch hunter, the priest simply says that he is retired and will leave the work fighting the supernatural to future generations. In fact, this aspect of his past is so murky that no one knows how powerful he would be if he used his inquisitor powers, nor would they want to know.
  • However, a stroke of fate revealed just a bit of that unknown power. When Emperor Belos was pursuing Sarah Spellman for unknown reasons, the young witch was saved by the timely intervention of a holy wedge that pierced Belos's arm, which subsequently exploded. He was forced to flee, but not before confronting the priest.

• Although Dlanor has a reputation of being a ruthless judge, she's actually quite reasonable when it comes to witches and demons, able to interact with them peacefully with no issues and even volunteered to help defend the Golden Land against Bernkastel's forces for no reason other her own sense of justice. Whether this attitude came from Ronald or she influenced him towards her views is unknown, but the two are generally of the same mind that extremists like Belos bring shame to the name of Christ.
  • Dlanor has also told Knox about her Worthy Opponent Battler Ushiromiya, a mystery who fought to preserve his family's dignity even with the odds against him. The two often swap reading recommendations and are considering forming a fan club for mystery story fans. Knox doesn't actively seek to be friendly with Battler's supernatural allies, but he has no objection to them.

• Outside of Christianity, Knox's crowning achievement was Knox's decalogue, a set of 10 rules to be used for writing mystery stories. While he acknowledges that the set is somewhat outdated, these rules represented a sea change in the mystery genre away from unsolvable mysteries towards "fairness". As a witch-hunter, these rules serve as powerful Anti-Magic tools that can enforce strong metafictional constraints. The decalogue can be found here.
  • Of all mystery stories, Knox's favorites are the ones of Sherlock Holmes, although this did not save Holmes from being made fun of in "The Adventure of the First Class Carriage". In fact, Knox is an early player of The Sherlockian game, which aims to create a full biography of Holmes and Watson by combining the original stories and real-life history. In fact, efforts like these might be why Holmes and Watson are prevalent in so many universes. When their schedules aligned and Knox was finally able to meet the Great Detective in person, he was uncharacteristically giddy, and he happened to walk away from the occasion with a signed copy of A Study in Scarlet and an enormous smile. Holmes and Watson are slightly confused as to why a catholic priest is so engaged with their mystery stories, but they don't give it much mind.
  • Besides Holmes and Watson, Knox has also met other famous detectives such as Hercule Poirot and Conan Edogawa. Knox is impressed at how Conan seems to solve so many cases without aging even a little bit, and prays that he can take down the Black organization one day. He thinks that Knox is an acceptable facsimile of Sherlock Holmes, but is unsure what to think about him killing the culprit in his last case. When it comes to more unconventional detectives, Knox is impressed by Lieutenant Columbo's ability to outsmart even the smartest culprits and untangle the most airtight cases.
  • Of course, one doesn't have to be employed as a detective in order to be a detective in a narrative sense. Knox is surprised that the Wright Detective Agency can even uncver so much information in the middle of the trial, especially since Pheonix has also tackled the English legal system. On the other hand, he wonders what that means for the competence of the police in their world.
  • The most controversial of the decalogue are Knox's 2nd and 5th, albeit for different reasons. Knox acknowledges that the 2nd("All supernatural or preternatural agencies are ruled out as a matter of course") was written in an age where magic was a way to create or solve problems without rhyme or reason, and that magic systems with well-established and consistent rules can have their place in mysteries. More troublesome is Knox's 5th: "No Chinaman must figure in the story". This was not a rule to exclude Chinese people from mystery stories, but instead a suggestion to avoid mystery stories that leaned upon cultural and racial stereotypes in lieu of substantive writing. However, Knox still agrees that this and some of the other commandments need tweaking, and has promised to work on it to incorporate the changing field of the mystery genre. Perhaps after he is done, Dlanor can start growing again.

• One of the less well-known aspects of Knox's life is that he served in British intelligence during World War 1. The ascended forces of the Entente have asked if he wants to rejoin the fight against the German empire, but Knox has declined, stating that he finds his work as a priest to be more effective in the Pantheon, but he will sometimes provide chaplain services for the soldiers.

• After the atomic bombs were dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, Knox wrote God and the Atom about the moral quandries arising from the development of nuclear weapons. As he concluded "perhaps we could not use them?", Knox is against the proliferation and escalation of nuclear warfare or other WM Ds. It is for this reason that he is asking the Court of Gods to create rules against the use of overly devastating weapons in warfare.

• When he's not giving sermons or reading mystery novels, Knox loves to have a little bit of fun, and his definition of fun is making satires and hoaxes like he did in life. One time, he wrote against The God-Emperor of Mankind's attempt to gain greater influence over the GUAG by arguing in Switean manner that true "supporters of Humanity" should do their best to eliminate human zygotes and embryos, which "neither look nor speak like humans, and are therefore actually xenos". Needless to say, he was blacklisted from a lot of events sponsored by the Imperium from then on. In another incident, he redid his "Broadcasting from the Barracades" stunt, but instead created an entire pre-recorded live stream that showed the Pantheon being overtaken by a "revolution of disenchanted middle managers" in order to teach the deities of the Pantheon to not believe everything they see online.

Marguerite "Marie" Breuilh, Goddess of Kill Exclusivity (Marie , Tasogare, Goddess of Rinne-Tensei, Omnibenevolent Goddess)

• Intermediate Goddess, Overdeity as a Hadou God
• Symbol: Margueritte-Bois de Justice, or the Amantes Amentes sigil
• Alignment: Neutral Good, used to be True Neutral
• Portfolio: Walking Spoiler, Curse of the Guillotine, All-Loving Heroine, ostacrized for her birth, Big Eater, started off empty but develops her own ideals and desires, Conditioned to Accept Horror, Fish out of Temporal Water, Incorruptible Pure Pureness, the Twilight Beach, initially had no problem being naked but develops modesty around Ren, Our Ghosts Are Different, The Pollyanna, Only one who could kill Mercurius during the 4th era, Became a Hadou God, one of the most benevolent Gods, Rinne Tensei, also granted Hajun's wish

• Allies: Ren Fujii, Madoka Kaname, Artoria Pendragon, Erma Williams, Mercurius, Obi-Wan, Katara, Jeanne, Jeanne D'Arc, Cosmos
• Interests: Charles Henri-Sanson
• Concerned about(has no enemies): Janemba, Cassius Ballad, Magasarion, Nerose Satanael, Mithra
• Pities: Hajun, Wolfgang Schreiber, William Ehrenberg
• Evil Counterpart: Charkravartin

• During the height of France's Reign of terror, there was a man set to be executed in front of a crowd. When the executioner did not come, everyone still wanted the man dead, but none wanted to actually perform the deed. However, one man in the crowd, urged by his laboring wife, volunteered to do the grisly deed. At that same moment, the wife gave birth to Marguerite Breuilh. Born under the guillotine, Marie was mute for ten years, until she suddenly started singing about filling guillotines with blood, as well as manifesting a curse that decapitated all who touched her. Her father abandoned the family, her mother went insane, and she was executed as a witch via the same guillotine that she had been born under 17 years ago. But death would not be the end, as her powerful soul ascended to become a Godou god, and she became stranded in her realm, the Twilight Beach, outside of time for all eternity.
  • It was at this time that Mercurius, going by the name of Count Calistrogo, found Marie in the Twilight Beach and became convinced that she was the key for him to die. In order to ascend her as a true Hadou God, he created his greatest opera, a story involving the fight between the Longinus Dresden Orden against Ren Fuji and his friends. It worked, as thanks to her new experiences and bond with Ren she became the Fifth God to take the throne and created an era of unprecedented prosperity and happiness for the throne system through her system of coexistence and reincarnation.
  • However, good things do not last forever. Her world of affirming people's desires allowed Hajun to rise in power, convinced that it was the twilight's embrace that was infringing on his solitude. While Mercurius was able to start again and prevent Hajun's rise in a different scenario, this version of Marie died to Hajun and became another sacrifice for the "Pantheon" plan.

• Marie once served as a herald to both Mercuruius and Ren, but this obviously led the two to start arguing who should have her more often. In order to defuse the conflict, Marie moved herself and The Twilight Beach to an entirely new temple and applied to become the Goddess of Kill exclusivity, representing the power of her Guillotine Curse. This definitely solved the former issue, but now when Ren and Mercurius visit at the same time a fight always seems to break out.

• Naturally, Marie is the closest to Ren Fujii. It's not technically confirmed if the two are in a relationship, but it's pretty obvious that something is going on. If someone wants to try to get Ren to do something, the wise choice is often not to ask him directly but to try to convince Marie. There's also the matter of Mercurius, who is also incredibly devoted to Marie, although probably not in the romantic sense. Marie trusts Calostrogo/Mercurius, but also questions whether his plan to ascend her was too complicated and dangerous. While one would think that Marie would oppose the LDO members in the Pantheon, but she doesn't: she's seen their reincarnations and knows that they have the potential to be better people; she just hopes that they don't do worse things in the Pantheon. When it comes to her killer Hajun, Marie isn't the least bit hateful: she instead pities his nature, and hopes that he can find at least a little bit of peace in the Pantheon. Marie isn't very familiar with the other hadou gods, but knows that Nerose Satanael, Mithra, and Magasarion created worlds of suffering and oppression, and so tries to keep them from doing anything drastic that might affect the Pantheon or even the multiverse beyond.

• While Ren and Shirou Emiya are rivals, Marie gets along well with her fellow blond-haired visual novel heroine Saber. It helps that they both love to eat food. It's said that when the two enter the same establishment at the same time, an alarm is sounded in the kitchen.

• As a mortal who became a multiversal goddess that granted souls salvation by rewriting the laws of reality, Marie is often compared to the Goddess of Hope herself, Madoka Kamane. However, due to a stroke of fate, they had never met until Madoka's powers were stolen during the Rebellion. Thanks to their similar backgrounds and personalities the two are like peas in a pod: Marie hopes that she can help Madoka avoid her bad ending and make up with Homura, and Madoka is glad to have another friend that sees her as an equal and not an idol. Thanks to their friendship, Madoka has introduced Marie to more modern conveniences like video games and foreign teas, which Marie greatly appreciates. While Rinne Tensei is not a replacement for the Law of Cycles, Marie's presence makes the other Magical girls of the sisterhood feel relieved that divine power is still on their side.
  • The comparison between Marie and Madoka has led to homucifer supporters to come up with an interesting argument known as the "Hajun Hypothesis". The argument goes that if Homura did not take Madoka's powers, her position as goddess would have made her a target for unknown third parties (like how Hajun emerged). Critics have pointed out that not having god powers makes her more vulnerable to these threats, so the effort is useless at least. Marie has yet to comment on this matter.

• Why did Mercurius think that Marie was the only one able to kill him? It all has to do with her Guillotine curse, which decapitates those who touch her (unless it is Ren or someone close to him). This curse bypasses regenerative abilities to kill the target, and can only be beaten by either having exponentially more power or an ability that specifically allows the user to survive death. She doesn't have enough power at the moment to kill deities like Aldia or SCP 682, but it's still incredibly strong. The Death Seekers of the Pantheon seek her out so that she can end her misery. While she can't really do anything for ascended deities besides consoling them, she does try to help unfortunate mortal souls reincarnate into a better position if possible.
  • Her curse also makes her a sort of counterpart to SCP-049, who can also kill at a touch. One time, he tried to kill her her in order to "cure" her, but when she was touched it was the doctor's head that fell off instead.

• As one of the more benevolent Hadou Gods and an ally of the side of Good, Marie became interested in Cosmos, the current leader of the GUAG. Marie is impressed at how the goddess is able to get so many different heroes from different worlds and walks of life to work together and pledged her assistance if it was needed. Cosmos appreciates the gesture, and the two have talked for long periods of time at Cosmos's tea parties. One thing that struck Marie's interest about Cosmos's story was how Shinryu set up the conflict between her and Chaos in order to gain strength. Marie wonders [[Main/Foreshadowing if there is also someone behind the throne system setting up the different Hadou Gods]].

• As an indirect victim of the Reign of Terror, Marie is interested in meeting with other French deities, especially those who lived during the time of the first French Revolution. She is especially surprised that Queen Marie Antoinette is in the Pantheon, and pities her for how the public distorted her image due to their hatred for the monarchy. Charles Henri-Sanson is interested in Guillotine Curse and connection to Margueritte-Bois de Justice, but he understands that she allows Ren to use in that way and mostly leaves her be. Marie has befriended both Jeanne the Witch and Jeanne D'Arc, who were also french women killed for accusations of witchcraft with varying levels of truth.

• Her Law, Rinne Tensei, has two main precepts: Allowing people to reincarnate in order to have another chance at fulfilling their desires, and allowing multiple Hadou Gods to exist at the same time. This makes her the good counterpart to Chakravartin: while the Golden seeks to trap souls into the cycle of Samsara in order to control them, Marie created reincarnation as a way to give people second chances and make their dreams come true. For the most part it worked as discrimination between types of people decreased and souls grew and matured. In general, Rinne-Tensei is seen as a middle point between pure adherence to the status quo and trying to force a utopia, as it does not affect the course of mortal life but instead the cosmic stakes over doing good and evil. However, that does not mean that she has critics: Cassius Ballad thinks that Marie is somehow responsible for the constant death and reincarnation of his lover Yuel, and wants to kill her like he did [[spoiler: Etro, although it would be much harder. Then there is the matter of Janemba, a demon formed from the evil accumulated in the soul-cleansing machine of the Dragon Ball universe's hell. Marie sees that her system isn't perfect, and is coming up with ways to reduce its drawbacks. When it comes to the second property, her law makes her sort of the The Heart of the Hadou gods, and she tries her best to resolve conflicts and reduce collateral damage. But when it comes to individuals as crazy and powerful as them, it's an uphill battle.

• While she has gained a lot of self-awareness and social skills from when she was singing about guillotines, she still remembers how the people around her shunned her due to fear and hatred. For that reason, she is sympathetic to people whose innocent but creepy traits have made them pariahs. One example is Erma Williams, a kind ghost girl who still creeps people out without meaning to. Marie has become good friends with the girl, and thinks that she has the potential to do a lot of good when she grows up.

• When she was a Godou/Transcendence God, the Twilight Beach was her own personal domain that exists outside of space and time. Although it's unknown whether she created it, she is the eternal master of the space. While she prefers to spend her time with others, she has often found that multiversal travelers like SCP-507 end up there and sometimes even require help to get out. After Mercurius mentioned the Milliways restaurant, Marie had the idea to possibly renovate the etherial space into a rest stop for travellers. She is currently looking for partners and contractors.

• Now that she has a lot of free time in the Pantheon, Marie has been thinking about her reign on the throne and what she could have done differently(a rarity for Hadou Gods). Although it would be against her nature to force Hajun to bend to her will, she acknowledges that she could have been assertive instead of leaving everything to her guardians. Therefore, she has resolved to learn how to fight so she can stand up for herself without Ren having to defend her all the time or going against her law/nature. ^note As the reigning Hadou god she used the archives of previous laws, but that is no longer an option for her. It was a trouble learning techniques that didn't immediately invoke the Guillotine Curse, but a goddess with her reputation had no trouble finding teachers:
  • After hearing about how the conflict between the Light Side and Dark Side was similar to the world of the First Throne, Marie approached Obi-Wan Kenobi in hopes of learning how to use a lightsaber, which would still be less lethal than normal contact. While Marie wasn't suited to using lightsabers, she was still able tp pick up a bit of knowledge about Obi-Wan's defensive strategy of outlasting the opponent to expose mistakes.
  • Next was the waterbender Katara, who focuses on redirecting her opponent's energy back at them. Marie doesn't have the talent to waterbend nor manipulate any elemental powers, but the idea of manipulating energy stuck in her mind.
  • During a party, Marie happened to meet Whis, an angel who is known for teaching Goku and Vegeta godly techniques. Marie asked Whis to train her in ways to defend herself whenever he had free time, and he agreed if Marie cooked something for him (and also because Zeno though her powers were cool). After Marie managed to figure out how to make a parfait, Whis started giving Marie short classes on martial arts. Due to her lack of experience progress is slow, it is consistent and Marie has now learned to do things like anticipate enemy strikes and strategically summon her Kumigara for attacks. Whis thinks that she may also have the potential to learn Autonomous Ultra Instinct, though only as a technique instead of a form like Goku.

It's time to face your fears

Out of curiosity, why spoiler any of that? Isn't the Pantheon inherently All Spoilers Unmarked?

I like to give a little buffer to readers so they can nope out if they click a profile on accident.

@Radio

For Marie, SCP-049 can kill anyone by just touching them. Shiki Tohno and Ryougi Shiki have the Mystic Eyes of Death Perception, which allows them to see lines on people which, if cut, will kill them without fail.

@Forgo

For Camila, Zuko and Orel Puppington are abused kids.

For Eda, maybe mention the theory that she's Stan Pines' ex-girlfriend?

@Forgo: Viktor Adler AKA Master Org is similar to Belos as a human who sold out to evil and even manipulated another race to do his bidding (though Adler planned to wipe out humanity and let Orgs rule rather than wipe the others out) but just like Belos he killed any he felt like killing for failing him.

Also I'd recommend using BeFunky to make a collage that doesn't make King look too big, lol. Just a piece of advice.

"Bingo! If two species hate each other, they will wipe each other out on their own."

Make King look king-sized, you mean.

@ Forgo: Shirley the Medium puts curses on people, usually in retaliation for crossing her. Which usually happens to Eustace Bagge.

Father Elijah planned to use the technologies of the Sierra Madre Casino to kill people throughout the Mojave and enslave the remaining surivivors with much of his wrath being directed towards the New California Republic for preventing him from gaining access to Helios ONE and ARCHIMEDES.

Edit: IIRC I believe he is also homophobic, he did separate his protegee Veronica from Christine back in the day but it's been a long time ago so I can't confirm that.

Moccamori once stole the magic from temples and other Deities to bring back Adlai who promised to bring eternal life to everyone. Part of why she supported it was to see her parents again whom she lost to the Witch Hunts when she was a kid.

Edit: Worth noting that she has some bird association with her: Her weapons are Talons, she rides a Nuuk, and was once transformed into an ugly bird for a little while.

Edit: Also worth noting that she was close to an old woman named Granny Sugar when she still lived in Rubid Village. Even prior to Character Development she was one of the few people Moccamori was unquestionably nice to.

Liz Wilson is a veterinarian. Sei P. Asagiri's mother is a vet and she helped her out when she was younger.

All my fault, you say...? What fault? I daresay it's all thanks to me.
