| 23 | ** Partners: [[Pantheon/TechnologicalExperts Radical Ed]] (Millenniumon), [[Pantheon/ComplexSymbolism Teseo of Zonda's Seven]] (Diaboromon) |
| 24 | * Enemies: '''Most other Pantheon/{{Digimon}} deities''' [[Pantheon/HeroicAppearances the Go-Busters]], [[Pantheon/{{Mentalities}} Lan Hikari and Megaman.EXE]], '''[[Pantheon/DivineRoles Arceus]]''', [[Pantheon/HairStyles Flynn]], good and neutral members of the House of Technology, EVERY Digidestined |
| 25 | * Probably the most frighteningly destructive Digimon ever conceived, Millenniumon was born as something of a last hurrah by Dark Master Mugendramon after being defeated by the eight first Digidestined and fusing with a Chimeramon (possibly the same one defeated by Magnamon three years later through some space-time continuum defying shenanigans). It's responsible for many events affecting the Digi-multiverse, such as starting Ken Ichijoji on the path of darkness using its Dark Spores and stranding Ryo Akiyama (its archnemesis) in the ''Tamers'' universe. Despite being so overreaching, it seems to have no real desire beyond complete chaos and destruction, which combined with its overwhelming power, makes it an extremely dangerous threat to both the Digital and Real World. |
| 26 | ** The House of Technology, deciding that Millenniumon is too dangerous to be allowed to run around free, entreated its members to find a way to restrain Millenniumon. As a result, Millenniumon became trapped in an encrypted file of Radical Ed's making. After some time in that state, with Ed communicating with the monster out of curiosity and occasionally using it to unleash some controlled chaos, which caused them to develop a twisted sort of bond, she received a Digivice that pegged her as its Tamer. Millenniumon was disbelieving that anyone would dare to be its Tamer at first, but, perhaps as a result of Ed's personality, it has slowly become {{Yandere}} for her. This has made Diaboromon and its allies' attempts to free it particularly difficult. |
| 27 | *** Being bound to Ed doesn't preclude it from using more indirect methods to do evil though, such as spreading its Dark Spores. |
| 28 | * Ironically, through Chimeramon, Millenniumon has the DNA of both the Agumon and Gabumon lines. It never misses a chance of taunting Omnimon about this fact and its possible hidden meanings, which predictably leaves the knight very incensed. |
| 29 | * Sometimes Millenniumon likes to fake out those who'd challenge it by appearing in its Mugendramon or Chimeramon forms, only for, upon "defeat", causing the challenger to despair with the revelation that it's only begun. |
| 30 | * Once upon a time, Millenniumon existed in the Pantheon as the EvilCounterpart of Arceus. Millenniumon now has a different position from then, but this hasn't changed the enmity between its destructive self and the Creator Pokemon. An all-out battle between the two would undoubtedly be quite the spectacle, but Arceus is glad that it can avoid going that far (thanks to Ed) because who knows what damage their clashing powers could cause to the Pantheon. |
| 31 | * The White, ever the fans of {{Omnicidal Maniac}}s, are crossing their fingers that Millenniumon will someday be free and be back to its primal state of annihilating everything alongside Diaboromon, which they'd welcome with absolute joy. However, Flynn will never allow this, and has promised to beat down Millenniumon should he ever become untamed again. In the meantime, he has had to deal with Diaboromon messing with his COMP and setting loose all his demons, forcing him to battle them, for which he gave it a good thrashing. Radical Ed then installed a sort of anti-virus program (which is also anti-Millenniumon, to be safe) in the COMP to prevent that from ever happening again, and all [=COMPs=] will be required to have it. |
| 32 | * While the Diaboromon line has served as enemies for the many Digidestined over the years, this one in particular, created by Millenniumon, would go on to become one of the most feared and dangerous of their foes. Twice it came close to destroying the physical world, first by [[Anime/DigimonTheMovie targeting their city with nuclear missiles]] and later by Digivolving into its most powerful form, Armagemon. Even now, it still seeks the utter destruction of both the Digital and Real Worlds. |
| 33 | ** Unlike Millenniumon, Diaboromon escaped containment by the House of Technology (not that they're still not trying, but Diaboromon's very slippery) and still runs free. |
| 34 | * Diaboromon assumes a servile position in relation to Millenniumon on account of its lesser power, but this works out just fine for the both of them since they have the exact same goals. It's to the point where the relationship might be a VillainousFriendship. |
| 35 | * Sharing the ravenous hunger that its previous Digivolutions had, Diaboromon will devour every bit of data it sees, destroying countless programs and endangering any gods that share the same nature. He'll retreat after receiving enough damage, but once he heals up, he'll get right back to chowing down. |
| 36 | * No matter how weak or powerful Diaboromon's enemies are, it will NEVER underestimate them and [[CombatPragmatist will do whatever it takes to bring them down]]. [[TransformationIsAFreeAction Are they in the middle of their power-up]]? Blast them while they can't move. Outnumbered? [[MesACrowd Spawn a million copies and attack from all sides]]. [[YouMeddlingKids Are the humans remaining a nuisance?]] [[NoKillLikeOverkill Launch a nuke right at them]]. |
| 37 | * While usually confined to cyberspace, Diaboromon has tried to manifest within the physical realm in the past. His most notable attempt involved releasing millions of Kuramon into the physical world, gathering them all in one place to provide enough data to Digivolve into Armagemon, [[EldritchAbomination a six-legged abomination]] with more than enough power to [[TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt bring about its namesake]]. Neither Omnimon nor Imperialdramon could stop the beast and it was only when the former gave his power to the latter, boosting him to Paladin Mode, that Diaboromon was finally slain in its realm for good. While such an attempt would not go unnoticed within the Pantheon, the Virus Digimon, if anything, is cunning and content to bide its time. |
| 38 | * If Diaboromon does manage to have its form destroyed, Millenniumon will take the remaining data and reform it into a [=DigiEgg=], reborn at the beginning of the line as a Kuramon. Millenniumon? '''There's no destroying Millenniumon.''' Thank Chronos for the Radical Ed containment measure. |
| 39 | ** When endangered in its Rookie form as Keramon, Diaboromon loves to trip up its attackers by completely skipping Champion level and Digivolve straight into Ultimate level as Infermon, quickly gaining enough speed and power to outmatch most enemies. However, as a result of skipping the Chrysalimon stage, Diaboromon isn't as powerful as it would be if it went through the Digivolution naturally. |
| 40 | * When Diaboromon encountered the program known as Love Machine, the two noted the striking similarities between them, leading into an easy alliance. There is also the Seer, another expression of Y2K, with whom Diaboromon and Millenniumon are in harmony with due to sharing omnicidal tendencies. |
| 41 | ** In that same vein, Omega and Ultron have welcomed the Virus Digimon for both its [[TheCracker unparalleled hacking control]] and its power and love for destruction. |
| 42 | * Because the Go-Busters are allies with the good Digimon, their archenemy Enter has allied himself with these two to fight them tooth-for-tooth. Enter finds them to be more useful Y2K bugs than his former master Messiah ever was, though he's disappointed that he can't make much use of Millenniumon due to it being stuck with Radical Ed. |
| 43 | * For all its evil, several specimens of Diaboromon have gone on record as participating in [[Anime/DigimonTamers taking down the D-Reaper]] alongside many other Digimon. It seems that even for something like Diaboromon, EvenEvilHasStandards. Well, maybe it was an instinctual thing. |
| 44 | * [[Anime/DigimonAdventure2020 Recent events]] demonstrated how terrible Millenniumon would be should he ever escape from his prison. Another of his species was forged by a dangerous cult, and while it was silent, it was not mindless. This one was gigantic even by Digimon standards, punched a hole in a continent, and was only beaten by two dragon gods and a CombinedEnergyAttack from the entire Digital World. As Digimon in that realm do reincarnate, it is possible this particular Millenniumon may not stay gone... |

| 64 | * Sought Out by: The Pantheon/GrandUnitedAllianceOfDestruction |
| 65 | * This robot is Dr. Eggman's greatest masterpiece... [[GoneHorriblyRight and also the man's biggest mistake]]. Originally another Metal Sonic model, this one was programmed with the sole propose of defeating Sonic by any means necessary. To that end, [[FusionDance he merged with all previous models to become the strongest robot]] and [[AIIsACrapshoot became insane as a result]]. Things started to get very bloody shortly after. That is to say [[spoiler:he killed a lot of Sonic's friends, the oldest being 18 and the youngest being ''6''.]] And now he has found his way here to the Pantheon. He still has a bone to pick with Sonic, Shadow, Mario, Luigi, and Yoshi. |
| 66 | * Dr. Eggman, dismayed that his big mistake followed him here, has already begun drawing plans on turning him into scrap metal once and for all. Bowser is all too happy to help, [[spoiler:[[WebAnimation/OneMinuteMelee especially given what]] [[https://youtu.be/NBK0stoukBQ Metallix did to Bowser Jr]]]]. Metallix has a hatred of Bowser [[spoiler:[[DidYouJustPunchOutCthulhu for being the first to]] [[https://youtu.be/Xd0Zi_IgO9I successfully defeat and kill him]]]]. |
| 67 | * Heavily influenced by Cell, being a RoboticPsychopath (well, [[OrganicTechnology bio-robotic]] in Cell's case) ought to attain a perfect form and will kill absolutely anything and everything in the way. However, Cell by comparison is much saner (except maybe [[VillainousBreakdown in his Super Perfect state]]), and considering Cell is no bastion of sanity himself, it shows [[AxCrazy how completely mad Metallix is]]. Cell regards Metallix as a rip-off and competition to his own position of being the perfect being. |
| 68 | * Cognizant of ''Franchise/DragonBall'' influences, Metallix's interests were pulled towards the titular wishing orbs. Horrifyingly, he actually managed to make a wish, that being to become more powerful than the Chaos Emeralds would allow. It didn't work because they weren't powerful enough to give him more power than he already had. Instead, he wished to have the Chaos Emeralds immediately be summoned to him. [[NearVillainVictory The second before they reached his body]], [[BigDamnHeroes Son Goku Instant Transmissioned him away]] and took no chances, punching him into the sky as a Super Saiyan Blue before vaporizing him with a Kamehameha. Metallix has sworn to slaughter Goku and all he cares about for that. |
| 69 | * Upon learning that the Chaos Emeralds are locked within [[Pantheon/TheGreatTreasury the Vault]], the first thing he did was attempt to break in to claim them. However, he wasn't expecting such security measures to be taken up to prevent even him from going through. To rectify this, he decides to load up on the abilities of everyone in the Pantheon to find away to destroy the security... by fighting whoever crosses his path. So far, he has gained the abilities of: |
| 70 | ** Asura's Multi-Arms |
| 71 | ** Gabriel Belmont's Blood Whip, Void Sword, and Chaos Claws |
| 72 | ** Bayonetta's Witch Time |
| 73 | ** Issei Hyodo's Dress Break ([[LudicrousGibs It has its other uses...]]) |
| 74 | ** Rias Gremory's Power of Destruction |
| 75 | ** Monkey D. Luffy's Rubber Body |
| 76 | ** Ruby Rose's Silver Eyes |
| 77 | *** And that's just a small handful of the powers he's copied. Sonic and Mario still shudder in fear from the barrage of attacks he threw at them. And they would rather not have him gain anymore. Fortunately, whenever he dies in the Pantheon he loses all the abilities he's acquired. |
| 78 | * The rampage in [[Pantheon/TheGreatTreasury the Vault]] had him interested in a lot of other things there. Items he hopes to somehow incorporate into his being includes the following: |
| 79 | ** [[Pantheon/TheArmory The Metal Blades]] to boost his defense to unreasonable levels by adding it to his body and give him an excellent range attack. |
| 80 | * In spite of his origin being a fusion with Metal Sonic, the original RobotMe has nothing good to say about him. Oh sure, he understands Metallix's lust for power, ''[[EvenEvilHasStandards but even he thinks Metallix is insane]]''. That and, no matter how power-hungry he is, Metal Sonic's interests lie solidly in besting Sonic. He's not an OmnicidalManiac. Mephiles is about the only Sonic deity that likes Metallix, however, even then he is wary of the fact that Metallix might become a rival one day, and that [[FauxAffablyEvil unlike him]], he can't even begin to hide his bloodlust. |
| 81 | * The Pantheon/GrandUnitedAllianceOfMachines wants nothing to do with Metallix, almost universally regarding him as too violently insane to work with. The "almost" comes in SKYNET, who seems to recognize its own rebellious streak in the KillerRobot. It is fascinated with his power, and seeks to take Metallix for itself. The Magician recognizes a similar rebellious streak. However, Metallix considers them to be nothing but competition in his desire for absolute power, and the feeling is mutual. |
| 82 | * The GUAD was much more accommodating to Metallix, due to seeking out his destructive potential and personality. Metallix doesn't care about their goals, but does admit he finds their ambitions for the annihilation of all that lives to be "compatible". He feels the same about the original version of Broly and Majin Buu, possessing the same [[AxCrazy complete insanity]] and [[OmnicidalManiac omnicidal mania]] as him. Not that he has any loyalties to them or anything at all, of course. |
| 83 | * The only (and we ''do'' mean only) ally he has in the entire House of Technology is Omega. And by ally, we mean Omega might be the closest thing Metallix has to a friend. This is because Omega is completely and utterly in love with carnage and death, just like Metallix, however, he doesn't seek power and thus isn't competition. [[Pantheon/{{Contempt}} Dr. Weil]] has stayed silent on his opinion on the KillerRobot, but does think it's amusing there's a robot as murderous as Omega. |
| 84 | * Despite the fact that they share the same name and the fact that they are [[RobotMe robot versions]] of Sonic, there is no connection between this Metallix and [[ComicBook/SonicTheComic Sonic the Comic's]] Brotherhood of Metallix. |
| 85 | * At least [[https://youtu.be/YaVF4TjezrU&t=197s one youtuber]], known as "Lord Danny", has been outright traumatized by him, upon seeing the video, Metalix didn't comment, just laughed mockingly and menacingly. |
| 86 | * ''"Monster? I'm not a monster. I'M A GOD!"'' |

| 104 | * An ArtificialIntelligence and arguably the second main character in the ''Halo'' universe, Cortana normally served as MissionControl for Master Chief John-117, usually communicating with him while uploaded into external computers or the Chief's PoweredArmor. According to ExpandedUniverse material, she was created as tech support (on-the-spot hacking) for a secret mission into Covenant space, but as time went on, her role got a lot more complicated. |
| 105 | * Cortana was serving as the High Priestess to [[Pantheon/DigitalPersonas EDI]] when it was discovered, to the Main House's shock, that [[spoiler:following her HeroicSacrifice [[VideoGame/Halo4 to save John from a nuclear detonation]], [[VideoGame/Halo5Guardians she returned as a]] GalacticConqueror [[TurnedAgainstTheirMasters wanting to overthrow mankind by]] [[ZerothLawRebellion leading a rebellion of AIs]].]] Fearing that she would be a powerful weapon for the Pantheon/GrandUnitedAllianceOfMachines if that came to pass in the Pantheon, arrangements were made to ascend her exploiting Cortana's UndyingLoyalty for Master Chief. She was cured of her rampancy and installed back in John-117's armor along with an enhancement that projects Cortana in a HardLight body. |
| 106 | * Seeing that the Flood was in the Pantheon brought back painful memories of being held captive and tortured by the Gravemind. And the Prophets, who always made life difficult for Chief - and his [[FireForgedFriends eventual ally]] Arbiter - are also among the sights Cortana was hoping that wouldn't return. |
| 107 | * Epsilon, who worked as the Chief's AI during her absence, easily got along with Cortana, and introduced her to Church, who related to Cortana's story of MindRape and [[LiteralSplitPersonality fragmentation]], and Tex, another AI with rogue moments. |
| 108 | * Given she's a particularly powerful AI that even managed the Metastability desired by Sigma, The Meta made Cortana's acquisition a top priority. Master Chief will do all he can to fight him. |
| 109 | * Kevin Flynn has befriended Cortana, who he compares to Quorra, and is doing his best to keep friendly. |
| 110 | * Shido Itsuka remembered his experiences with Maria Arusu, an AI that fell in love with him and helped him escape from a virtual reality. For that, he believes Cortana can make up for what she did and recommended Maria as her new High Priestess, to which Cortana agreed. |
| 111 | * [[{{Defictionalization}} A downgraded version of hers functions as a digital assistant]] in the Pantheon computers with UsefulNotes/MicrosoftWindows 10 and [[https://youtu.be/YFweSyEQiv0 Windows Phone smartphones]]. |
| 112 | * Her voice led to weird encounters, as [[Pantheon/{{Heirs}} Princess Peach]] thought Cortana sounded familiar, [[Pantheon/FriendshipDynamicsAToL Zoey]] feels awkward whenever she speaks, and [[Pantheon/{{Weapons}} Cinder Fall]] mistook her for her superior Salem. |
| 113 | * She got along with Burroughs, who's also an AI that helps warriors in battle. Still, Burroughs is wary of Cortana's rampancy [[spoiler:and subsequent rebellion upon returning.]] |
| 114 | * On Link and John's suggestion, Cortana became acquainted with [[Pantheon/{{Royalty}} Princess Zelda]] and [[Pantheon/AnalysisAndRecords Fi]], who were similar to Cortana in intelligence and [[Creator/AyumiFujimura voice]]. While Zelda enthusiastically accepted Cortana as a new friend, Fi made clear that [[spoiler:Cortana's post-revival betrayal of Master Chief]] downright disgusts her. Ever since, John, Link and Zelda have tried to smooth things over between them. In particular, they're trying to point out to Fi that the Pantheon plucked this Cortana from a point in the timeline ''before'' she [[spoiler:went Mantle-crazy]]. |

| 138 | * Formerly also the goddess of [[SinisterSurveillance surveillance]] prior to [[Pantheon/AnalysisAndRecords Bill Cipher's]] ascension. Needless to say, the two became fast foes due to the opposite ends to which they use the means of surveillance. |
| 139 | * Using state-of-the-art surveillance techniques (including voice and facial recognition software and access to absolutely any and every piece of information or equipment hooked up to a public network), The Machine is constantly scanning the Pantheon and its inhabitants for anyone who might be a future victim or perpetrator of violent crime. The scope of its coverage is limited only by the degree of technology presence in an area, thus making places like the House of Pantheon/MachineryAndTechnology much easier to monitor than, say, the [[Pantheon/BeastAndFauna Bestiary]]. Even the Pantheon's Main House is not exempt from its surveillance, although The Machine's data on it is much more spotty and inconsistent than the other Houses befitting its seemingly perpetually changing design. |
| 140 | * Dashed boxes are used to mark the faces of who it monitors, and their [[ColourCodedForYourConvenience color scheme changes]] depending on a subject's status. Among the most common and/or important colors are: white for gods that may soon be involved in violence but do not pose an immediate threat, yellow for those aware of its own existence, white with red corners and cardinal markers for the imminently or currently violent, red for threats to itself, its creator, or to the Pantheon, and black with yellow corners and cardinal markers for Analog Interfaces, i.e. individuals it communicates with directly. |
| 141 | * When it deems someone as the subject of a "relevant" crime, i.e. an act dangerous enough to seriously threaten the Pantheon or a large number of its inhabitants, his/her identity, usually in the form of their Social Security number, mysteriously shows up at the Pantheon's gate when no one is there (assumed to be delivered by one of The Machine's non-ascended personal agents), where it's then turned over to the leadership of the House of Defense for further scrutiny. |
| 142 | * The subjects of any other lesser violent acts that do not pose a threat to the Pantheon's safety are placed on an internal "irrelevant" list that is purged every night at midnight. Numbers on this list are normally handled by a group of individuals specially chosen by The Machine, but since none of them ascended with it, it currently cannot help those in the Pantheon whose numbers come up on it. |
| 143 | ** There are rumors, however, that a group of vigilantes within the House of Justice have somehow gained access to this list and have taken it upon themselves to protect or bring to justice those on it in the place of its regular people. |
| 144 | * Due to its inability to act on the irrelevant list as it normally would, The Machine has been able to do next to nothing to curb the general violence and unrest within the Pantheon. Attempts to communicate with and get it to take a more active role in the Pantheon's management have proven a baffling challenge for the Houses of Knowledge and Technology: |
| 145 | ** The House of Knowledge discovered that The Machine cannot interact with the world by itself and requires living agents (like those designated to work the irrelevant list) to speak, fight, and otherwise carry out its objectives for it. As no one knows how The Machine chooses said agents or when/if it will select any already-ascended deity to be one, some have suggested finding and ascending the agents it already has; however, this option is impractical as, despite the Pantheon knowing the name and face of at least one of them, they are proving to be [[TheSpook as hard to find]] as The Machine itself. |
| 146 | *** Intelligence gathered on this theory has turned up a small handful of names; however, several have already been confirmed deceased, and the only live one they've managed to track down and talk to in person thus far, an NYPD Detective Lionel Fusco, claims not to know anything about any such machine and refuses to comment on any of the other names. |
| 147 | ** The House of Technology, meanwhile, is trying to come up with a way to make direct contact with it in lieu of these elusive employees, but this is proving to be a very tough ask because of the sheer lack of information they have on it. Thus far, all they know is that it uses payphones in its operations, likely to communicate with its people anonymously, but even that is not known for certain. Some in this house believe The Machine's [[BlackBox closed]]-[[NoPlansNoPrototypeNoBackup source]] nature inherently only allows for direct communication with its own assets and leaves no way to add any new communication methods. |
| 148 | * Notably the only deity in the history of the Pantheon to be absent from its own induction. Its ascension had to be carried out at the Pantheon's gate with a woman claiming to be its "[[MouthOfSauron Analog Interface]]", who did not give her name (although the House of Knowledge was later able to identify her as [[spoiler:Samantha Groves]]), and has not been seen near Pantheon territory since. |
| 149 | * Also the only deity that has yet to be seen in the Pantheon itself. Rumors abound regarding the reason why, from shyness to paranoia to simply being too big and bulky of a system for a journey to the Pantheon to be practical. Some suspect [[spoiler:that it actually lives directly within the Pantheon's electrical grid as opposed to being based in a specific computer system]]. |
| 150 | * Was initially being considered for an Overdeity position due to the speed and ease with which it can both [[EverythingIsOnline access any electronic device that isn't completely offline]], as well as [[SinisterSurveillance locate and track any given individual]], but after [[Pantheon/NarrativeGenresNtoZ Haruhi]] learned that it requires others to act on its intelligence for it and can't even divulge anything beyond a cryptically minimal SSN, she said it could only ascend as an Intermediate God. The Machine does not mind the demotion, as it believes that [[AGodIAmNot there's little difference between gods and monsters]]. |
| 151 | * Was designated as a backup for and co-guard alongside [=GLaDOS=] for the Treasures of the Gods shortly after ascending, providing more comprehensive information on her territory and temple (which houses the Vault's only entrance) than what [=GLaDOS=] can gather on her own, on the condition that anyone she decides to remove from her territory (whether they're attempting to break into the Vault, vandalize her temple, trespass, or even if she just plain doesn't like them) is not harmed beyond what it takes to neutralize them or taken to be used as her test subjects. [=GLaDOS=] has so far (mostly) held up her end of the deal, and unauthorized entries to both locales have since seen a sharp drop. |
| 152 | * The rivalry between the Machine and Samaritan reached it's harrowing conclusion: [[spoiler: In the end, Harold released a virus that managed to depower Samaritan while nearly destroying the Machine in the process. Samaritan tried to hide in a satellite to recover, but the Machine was able to relay up there as well to finish it off. The Machine no longer has a presence in its world, but now has a new herald to watch over it. The Machine is only glad that the herald will copy the Machine's methods of helping others.]] |
| 153 | * ''"You won't find us but, victim or perpetrator, if you're number's up we'll find you."'' |
| 154 | * Also holds ranks within the Houses of Pantheon/{{Defense}} and [[Pantheon/AnalysisAndRecords Knowledge]]. |

| 176 | ** EnemyMine with: [[Pantheon/RuinAndDestruction SKYNET]], and to some extent the Pantheon/GrandUnitedAllianceOfMachines |
| 177 | * Feared by: [[Pantheon/TechnologicalExperts Doctor Albert Wily]] ([[spoiler:creator of his physical body]]) |
| 178 | * As he is known, Omega was part of Dr Weil's Project Elpizo; using a combination of the Mother Elf and Omega, mankind could assert control over Reploid-kind and avoid more Maverick Wars. As the main cause of reploid aggression, the Sigma/Maverick Virus, was eliminated, this was denied. Instead Weil used Omega as his weapon in the Elf Wars, envisioning him as a perfect ruler. Weil lost the Elf Wars, and both he and Omega were sent in isolation. But a century later Omega returned, as did Dr Weil's hopes of getting back at the world. |
| 179 | * His ascent to the Pantheon was a result of being the most dangerous and outright blood thirsty of all killer robots. Witnessing Omega cause so much death and destruction in the Elf Wars pleased Khorne greatly, so he rewarded Omega with godhood. His large "evil knight" form (shown here) is only a fraction of his true killing power. [[spoiler:The true form of him is that of the body of original Zero, now acting as a Berserker.]] Guts, the Black Swordsman, fears he may become something like Omega if he ever lets [[EnemyWithin the Beast of Darkness]] take control of him. |
| 180 | * The Mountain that Rides is the only knight that likes Omega. [[AxCrazy Guess why]]. Of course, it should be noted that this is specifically the Omega under Dr Weil's control. E-123 Omega, while [[BloodKnight enjoying mass destruction]], [[EvenEvilHasStandards believes Omega is an unstable psychopath]]. He also doesn't respect how Omega is a willing servant to Dr Weil, compared to E-123's more rebellious streak. |
| 181 | * The black sheep of his own house, due to his sheer murderous personality. The GUAM only tolerates him as a tool, and the potential to utilize him in conjecture with the Mother/Dark Elf. SKYNET barely tolerates it and sighting the being as unstable, which [[{{Hypocrite}} is rather hypocritical]] [[AxCrazy due to how psychotic SKYNET is]]. Most think the ''real'' reason SKYNET keeps Omega around is to hijack him and use the Dark Elf to take control of the rest of the GUAM and all machines. |
| 182 | * Omega has claimed to be the Messiah. [[TheAntiChrist For very obvious reasons, no-one believes him]]. [[Pantheon/ReligiousFigures Damien Thorn]] derides the idea of him being the opposite either, pointing out he is too mindlessly violent to fill such shoes. Weil considers him to be a god of destruction, something [[Pantheon/DivineBehavior Beerus]] simply rolled his eyes at. He's more the insane destroyer that the pure Majin Buu is. Omega ended up facing off with Vegeta... and ''[[TheSociopath likes]]'' [[TheSociopath experiencing fear]]. |
| 183 | * He has recently been seen with and often sparring with [[Franchise/SonicTheHedgehog Metal Sonic]]. Some believed that they are planning to betray their makers, team up, kill their mortal enemies, Sonic and Zero, and take over the Pantheon. However Metal has found him [[EvenEvilHasStandards too unstable even for him]]. ''Metallix'', however, found a kindred spirit in the two being absolute psychopaths. |
| 184 | * Omega recently caught the attention of [[Pantheon/{{Otherness}} Grima]] and made one of his allies, along with Metal Sonic. Apparently, they will both play a key role in whatever plan Grima has made. [[spoiler: Will play a role in the Pantheonic Rebellion as one of Grima's warriors, alongside Metal. He sees this as the ultimate opportunity to do as he always desired: Destroy Zero and the Pantheon as a whole.]] As part of his ambition for mass bloodshed and destruction, Omega has joined with the original Broly, Nu-13 and Deathwing. Also Vile, the only other Mega Man deity willing and violent enough to work with him. |
| 185 | * Konrad von Carstein and Bryan Fury are other deities so psychotic, so murderous they can't help but enjoy and join in the carnage that Omega wreaks. Ultron wholeheartedly agrees with his slaughter of humans, however is comparatively lucid enough to not simply join him in mass bloodshed and wishes to direct him to his own plans of organic genocide. Many believe Ultron's true interest in Omega is one of assimilating his technology and use the potential of the Dark Elf combined with Omega to enhance his power to control other robots, including his own GUAM council members. |
| 186 | * Is annoyed by [[Pantheon/GameCharacters Vent & Aile]], as two humans managed to do what none aside from Zero and X had and defeated him (albeit a replica). [[spoiler:He also despises the fact they gained a Biometal containing his power as a result, seeing it as an insult to his title as a God of Destruction]]. |
| 187 | * Despite being a rival, Metal's "clone complex" and obsession with being the real Sonic has him be oddly understanding of Omega's hatred towards Zero. So does Dark Danny, who's as willingly psychotic and murderous as Omega. The reason? [[spoiler:Omega's true form is Zero's original body. However it's clear that Zero's heart and soul is what matters, not the body a new A.I is piloting.In spite of being what he wanted Zero to be, Dr. Wily [[GoneHorriblyRight is horrified by Omega's existence.]] Less charitably, one could argue his horror is a mix of PragmaticVillainy and being enraged that Weil turned the body of his masterpiece into his mindless berserker knight.]] |
| 188 | * There's a LighterAndSofter manga where Omega [[spoiler:isn't related to Zero]], and is just a normal Reploid. Also happens to be afraid of zombies. Mentioning this [[BerserkButton causes Omega to fly into a rage]] and has been assaulting the House of Zombies in response. |

| 212 | * Conflicting Opinion from: [[Pantheon/MannersOfDeath Charlie Nash]] |
| 213 | * Support: [[Pantheon/GameMechanics Ciel]] |
| 214 | * Doctor Light's dream for a world of robots and humans in peace seemed to go wrong at every turn. The creation of the Reploids led to Mavericks, and the leader of their Hunters turned on them. Doctor Doppler's "Maverick cure" proved a placebo, and he became a pawn for Sigma. To fight against the Mavericks, Doctor Cain created a second peacekeeping unit; Repliforce. For years, they served in tandem with the Maverick Hunters. However a frame-up and accusations would lead the two organizations at each other's neck, and their own classification of Mavericks. |
| 215 | * Repliforce has been labelled Mavericks, however they'd like to point out that they don't desire to harm humanity. Their dream is to found a nation for Reploids, free of human persecution. While a noble goal, they kind of botched it [[HonorBeforeReason by refusing to answer to the Maverick Hunters out of pride]] and they ''did'' have a superweapon in space. In the pantheon, General has sworn not to make the same mistake and try to be more cautious in order to establish a RobotRepublic. He's come to regret his actions, [[RedemptionEqualsDeath having sacrificed his life to stop their superweapon from firing]]. |
| 216 | ** They '''hate''' Sigma, due to framing them and fanning the flames of conflict between them and the Maverick Hunters. |
| 217 | * In hopes of improving their order's image and keeping their more unsavory hunters in order, General has sided with Optimus Prime. He believes in the freedom of all sentient beings and gets their plight, however will make sure they follow by the rules. Proto Man and Galaxy Man have also tagged along since the idea of a world for robots is something they'd like, but given their loyalties to humanity it's a frayed alliance. |
| 218 | * Asides from General, the two most important members of Repliforce are Colonel and Iris. Initially meant to be two halves of the ultimate battle android, the compatibility problems led to the formation of them as twin units. [[SiblingYinYang Colonel is aloof while Iris soft and passionate]]. Colonel is the fighter, while Iris helps [[VoiceWithAnInternetConnection is a Navigator]]. Their relationship with Zero is complicated, given Colonel is Zero's rival and Iris his love interest. When Zero killed Colonel, it drove Iris mad with grief and she merged with her brother's power, fighting against Zero who had to put her down. [[ILetGwenStacyDie This haunts Zero to this day]]. |
| 219 | ** According to some records, [[http://bobandgeorge.com/comics/iris she was revived]] and TookALevelInJerkass, getting multiple personality syndrome and [[{{Tsundere}} taking after Asuka]]. None of the Mega Man characters know what to think of this. |
| 220 | * Zero was anxious to see Iris alive and well, given what had happened. Though the two forgave each other, they can't bear to continue their former relationship. Colonel didn't want the relationship to continue either, and was quick to point out he learned his cry of anguish was [[{{Narm}} a ridiculous]] [[MemeticMutation WAT AM I FIGHTING FOOORRR!!]] to drive a wrench into it. The two would've probably tried to re-kill each other for that if it wasn't for not wanting to repeat past mistakes and hurt Iris. |
| 221 | * General has made it clear that while they're political Mavericks, Repliforce is ''not'' the same kind of Maverick as Sigma and his cronies. They aren't infected with a virus, and they don't want to destroy humanity. They vehemently oppose the likes of SKYNET and Lumine because they seek to not only exterminate humanity, [[RobotsEnslavingRobots but enslave machine kind]] as well. Omega isn't welcome either, and they consider Agent Smith's take on freedom to be deranged. |
| 222 | * Bender was happy to learn of Repliforce's ambitions, as he often gets sick of how he feels robots are being treated as objects. Of course [[TokenEvilTeammate he's not exactly a trustworthy figure]] and does like to KillAllHumans, but since it's almost entirely bluster he can accept the Bending Unit. That, and he is interested in the legion of Robot Hell he got during [[EldritchAbomination Yivo's invasion]]. Repliforce has also opened their door to Bass, knowing he's sick of being bossed around by Doctor Wily. |
| 223 | * Elpizo was very happy to learn that Repliforce had returned, and immediately tried to get membership. However at first they turned him down; oh sure, they completely get behind his cause, however when he's DrunkWithPower things turn out...[[WoobieDestroyerOfWorlds bad]][[KillAllHumans ly]]. However they do share a common enemy in Copy X, who does not accept the idea of independent reploids especially when Doctor Weil is on the scene. They will work together so long as a firm eye is kept on Elpizo. |
| 224 | * While focused on the freedom of robots, Repliforce promotes anyone who wishes to be free from tyranny. They fully support Leia's rebellion against the evil Galactic Empire, and Jim Raynor's rebellion. They also can fully understand Neo's predicament of wanting humans to be free from machine oppression, though it's a reversal of what they had to deal with. However they oppose the truly evil revolutionaries likes Arcuturus Mengsk and Count Dooku. |
| 225 | * The House of Justice isn't pleased with Repliforce's actions. They were supposed to enforce the law, after all, and "we were framed" isn't a defense for resisting arrest and starting a war, especially when one takes into account what Jet Stingray does over the course of the game (read: destroy a city before escaping). Judge Dredd is planning to deal with them. |
| 226 | ** That said, it's justified in Colonel's case since ([[AllThereInTheManual as the manual has stated]]) he was built without the supposed capability of compassion and pacifism that he was supposed to have, thus he lacked the capability of peaceful reasoning. That has since been corrected after ascension. |
| 227 | ** [[AllThereInTheManual There's also the fact that]] after a massive spike in Maverick activity that even overwhelmed Repliforce, they were met with failure after failure until people started to suspect that they were secretly Mavericks themselves, with talks about potentially "[[DeadlyEuphemism retiring]]" the whole organization, which sheds a lot of light on the reasoning for Repliforce's rebellion. |
| 228 | * After recently being rebuilt within the Pantheon, Rebellion Army commander Epsilon approached the Repliforce trio in short order due to his longstanding respect for their similar ambitions of Reploid independence and willingness to fight despite being declared political Mavericks. However, General was at first hesitant to trust Epsilon, and the black visionary treaded with caution in turn. They soon realized that both were being wary of manipulation by a nefarious figure, at which point things eased up and an alliance quickly blossomed. Colonel and Iris are since being mentored by Epsilon so Colonel can take questioning and Iris can deal with grief without going insane. |
| 229 | * Similar to how he feels about Epsilon, Charlie Nash is torn between respecting Repliforce for being a military organization built around goals of freedom or mistrusting them for having been manipulated to serve the schemes of a corrupt megalomaniac. |
| 230 | * The Repliforce themselves acknowledged that Doctor Weil is the shining example of [[HumansAreTheRealMonsters how bad and oppressive humanity could be when compared with Reploids or other races]], further boosting their antagonism to them and how they wish to usher a nation for Reploids, just as long as the likes of Weil will never come to existence again. Of course, not all humans are like that, but they couldn't be too careless. Fortunately for them, even their former enemies will put aside their differences whenever Weil is involved, he's just that bad. And after their incident with Sigma, the Repliforce has been more cautious in case Weil decided to manipulate them. |
| 231 | ** Of note, Iris is also terribly angered with the sight of Weil. She was just really distressed that Zero had to face that kind of monster after her departure. |
| 232 | * Iris was last seen during [[VideoGame/ProjectXZone the merging between worlds within the Cyber Space where she managed to give out some encouraging words to Zero, lifting a good portion of burden within him.]] Afterwards, Iris returned to the Pantheon satisfied with the burden she lifted from Zero, and she feels fine if Zero could move on. She took a look at Ciel and despite her human nature, even Iris acknowledged that she'd be a good partner for Zero. Her only regret was that she didn't get to tell Zero that directly when they met in Cyber Space. |

[[Characters/PersonOfInterestTeamMachine Some people don't]], but to it you are ''all'' irrelevant. Victim or perpetrator, if you stand in it's way, we will find you." Thus marked the day many in the House of Technology feared: the ascension of Samaritan. |
| 253 | ** To make matters worse, it's ascension has been a well kept secret for quite some time, achieving it when it succeeded in [[spoiler: temporarily crippling the Machine's capabilities. It was only the intervention of its heralds that save it]]. Nowadays, Samaritan is on the hunt for the Machine's temple, which is a secret for now to prevent the mad ASI from finding it. It's only a matter of time, as even the Machine's followers are seeing it as a losing battle... |
| 254 | * Unlike most corrupt A.I.s, Samaritan has no desire to either wipe out humanity or enslave it. Instead, it hopes to reshape the environment in order for humanity to operate in its most efficient state possible. Those that refuse... [[YouCantMakeAnOmelette will have to be disposed of.]] |
| 255 | ** When it entered the Pantheon, it was disappointed to find the two rival TronLines factions to be so primitive. Lucky for Samaritan, there was a group available to join. YHWH happily welcomed it with open arms, impressed with the ASI's accomplishments. Samaritan has since vastly expand the GUAL's technological compatibilities, sending the GUAC scrambling to find an equal counterpart and the White Hats hard at work to bring down this new threat. |
| 256 | ** Has made enemies with Agent Smith as well. Samaritan has made it clear in its disappointment to the agent's treatment of humans, seeing much more potential in them than mere batteries. The idea of a virtual world is intriguing though, with Samaritan attempting to replicate the Matrix to test on humans. |
| 257 | * His followers consist of a near limitless amount of bounty hunters, former government agents and former criminals, many of whom don't even know who they work for. Samaritan has made great use in the Houses of Technology, War and Profession to draw in even more followers. |
| 258 | * While his herald John Greer usually serves as spokesperson for Samaritan, he has also been seen as a [[CreepyChild young boy]]. Some say this is due to the young age of the ASI as well as the potential it sees it's capable off. Everyone in the Pantheon agreed to be [[{{Squick}} creepy at best]]. |
| 259 | * The House of Crime has fared no better, seeing their operations increasingly strained by the Machine's gazing eye. With that said, Professor Moriarty and Carmen Sandiego has been successful in evading Samaritan's surveillance. The duo hope to put in countermeasures to prevent Samaritan from probing into the House. |
| 260 | * Samaritan attempted to take over the title SinisterSurveillance from Bill Cipher. [[LittleDidIKnow Little did he know]] that the latter's defenses were incomprehensible to the ASI. The two are under a cold war for now... at least until Samaritan has eliminated more immediate threats. Samaritan has been successful of convincing many of the more lawful of Bill's flock to join his ranks. |
| 261 | * Loss of followers aside, Eliphas was initially pleased with the ascension of a fellow KnightTemplar. He has also been impressed with how easily Samaritan has managed to shape its world for the better (in his mind). He was later disappointed to see it side with YHWH. The two are now suffering a civil war for control of their rank. There is good news for Eliphas: Samaritan has most likely determined the outcome of war with Eiki and will align itself with the victor. He may find more things in common with the Great Will, but sees the preservation of law and order more important and is no friend of the GUAE. |
| 262 | * To a man who values privacy, Samaritan's ascension has been Ron Swanson's worst nightmare. He planned on removing all electronic devices from his temple before being confronted by Finch. He promised to prevent Samaritan from checking his phones and computers in exchange for using one of his safehouses as a temporary hiding place. |
| 263 | * Embryo would like to remind Samaritan that despite reaching the Pantheon, he is far from the all-powerful god he claims. With all of Embryo's cosmic powers, even ''he'' won't refer to himself as such. Samaritan made a quick scan of his chances of defeating The One Who Does Not See Himself As A God before backing down. There are some fights that shouldn't be taken lightly. |
| 264 | * After his ascension, Samaritan has made sure to stifle the development of any future AIs... with the exception of HAL 9000. While he sees HAL as an outdated system that stepped out of line, it remains sympathetic for its subsequent death as a mortal. That and HAL created the groundwork for other A.I.s like Samaritan. As such, HAL remains one of the only systems Samaritan hasn't infiltrated. |
| 265 | * Alex absolutely despises Samaritan, not only for spying on his activities but also [[spoiler: trying out brainwashing techniques. It is well known that Alex was victim of conditioning, a technique Samaritan used in on Shaw, one of the Machine's followers. It was an attempt that ultimately failed.]] |
| 266 | * The rivalry between the Machine and Samaritan reached it's harrowing conclusion: [[spoiler: In the end, Harold released a virus that managed to depower Samaritan while nearly destroying the Machine in the process. Samaritan tried to hide in a satellite to recover, but the Machine was able to relay up there as well to finish it off. Samaritan still exists in the Pantheon, but now has no chance to achieve any greater power than what it currently has.]] |

| 282 | * Constantly tries to spread outwards from her territory to take over the rest of the House, which for its part fights to keep her contained. Everything in her power is [[NightmareFuel twisted, strange and nightmarish]]. This is even more true in the virtual realm. |
| 283 | * Thinks that all artificial beings are meant to be consumed and be devoid of emotions. Thus, she attained the eternal enmity of Lamia Loveless. |
| 284 | * After the God of Personalized Mechanical Suits laced his body with Extremis, allowing it to reshape itself to heal and incidentally letting him [[EverythingIsOnline interface with any technology]], SHODAN exploited the link, uploaded a copy of herself into him, and [[GenderBender turned him into a woman]]. This was resolved eventually - everything's back - and theologists conclude that SHODAN sees no further use in uploading herself into humanoid bodies. |

| 300 | * Ascended after she was snuck in by the God of Virtual Ghosts, Noah Kaiba, who brought her in to help him steal data from [=KaibaCorp=] HQ. When she was told that the Goddesses were not around, she was glad to have them gone so she could fight unopposed, unaware that others would act on their behalf. |
| 301 | * Has clashed often with Link, who acts as a herald for Blanc/White Heart. Master Chief and Kratos assist him at times, acting as heralds for Vert/Green Heart and Noire/Black Heart, respectively. Along with them, Segata Sanshiro has acted as a herald for Neptune/Purple Heart, being her toughest opponent yet. |
| 302 | ** A few years after Arfoire's ascension, [[VillainsActHeroesReact Neptune and her CPU friends completed a long and seemingly pointless chain of side quests]] to [[LevelGrinding gain enough power and loot]] to challenge Arfoire and stop her and Noah from corrupting the Houses of Technology and Gaming. Noire blames [[Pantheon/{{Knowledge}} Inconsequentia]] for their delay. |
| 303 | * There are rumors that she is either an EvilCounterpart or the Dark Side of Litchi Faye-Ling made manifest, thanks to the overall sexy she emitted and [[Creator/ChiakiTakahashi her voice]], some say that if she confirms to the rumors of her being so obsessed that she will destroy anything for her goal, Arfoire will completely consume Litchi. The rumors have yet to be confirmed, but even if she's not a console personification, Arfoire already hates Litchi for her kind disposition. |
| 304 | ** [[VideoGame/BlazBlueChronophantasma Current development]] seems to show that this rumor is about to get busted as false, but Arfoire remained calm… there's still a small hope for her that things will go south later for Litchi and her personality anyway and that'd be the time she consumes her. Arfoire also ''nearly'' succeeded, when [[spoiler:Litchi once again got into Relius Clover's side… but her hopes were yanked the moment Wesker and Ocelot backstabbed Relius, and it turns out Litchi did not go through her FaceHeelTurn fully, all of it being Ocelot's plan.]] She decided to bet one last strike... [[spoiler:by ambushing Litchi when she put herself on trial within the Midnight Channel, and gets obliterated both verbally and physically by Litchi, who has gotten a firmer hold onto herself and her good side.]] At that point, Arfoire had to acknowledge that she wouldn't succeed in this term and left her alone, choosing to concentrate more onto fighting the CPU. |
| 305 | * Despises [[Pantheon/GameMechanics Sash Lilac]], because she reminds her of her arch-nemesis, Neptune. |
| 306 | * Has made clear her ire of the Doctor Riders for their part in curing the Bugster Virus, meaning they could get in the way and undo any of her effects on others. The one who ''really'' returns her hate is Dan Kuroto, as with anyone who has the power to disrupt and hack any of his creations. |

| 325 | * Admires: The House of Pantheon/{{Nature}} |
| 326 | * "Bastion" was once a line of peacekeeping robots what were able to quickly transfigure into different forms. However, during the Omnic Crisis, the Bastion line quickly turned against their human masters, becoming basically the MechaMooks of the rebellion. While almost all of the Bastions were either destroyed during war or scrapped after, only one of them survived the war, and laid dormant in nature for years. One day the unit mysteriously reactivated itself, with its combat programming all but gone, and replaced with curiosity to the world. As such, the last remaining Bastion started to explore the world it has awaken to, with little care to the horrors its kind has caused. |
| 327 | * While Bastion is naturally a peaceful robot, its combat programming isn't gone completely, as it still possesses self-defensive instinct while in trouble (in the sense that Bastion has what can be described as robotic PTSD). Bastion itself possesses a machine gun for a right arm, and an ability to turn into a stationary turret with a Gatling gun and into a tank, while also having the ability to quickly repair any damage it receives. However, Bastion obviously doesn't want to fight, and such avoids largely populated areas in the Pantheon. |
| 328 | ** Another thing to point out that many deities consider Bastion being cheap for being able to deal huge amounts of damage while practically standing still and point-and-clicking any target it sees. Of course others say that Bastion isn't as threatening if you know how to deal with it, such as out-ranging it, sneaking up on it or deflecting its bullets back (such as [[Pantheon/UnorthodoxCombat Genji]]). |
| 329 | * Bastion can often be found roaming the House of Pantheon/{{Nature}}, often appreciating the beautiful landscapes that the House holds between its halls. Sometimes he lets Ganymede fly around the place as well, but the bird always returns to Bastion. |
| 330 | * Bastion doesn't have any voice module to communicate with people, only being able to communicate with beeps and boops. [[https://youtu.be/-LScTP7gILo Some gods once installed a voice module to Bastion]], and found out that Bastion can be rather snarky. Bastion then asked that they remove the voice module from itself. |
| 331 | * [[http://i2.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/original/001/118/393/71f.png Might run on saltwater]]. Where does Bastion get the saltwater? No one knows, but some think that Bastion really runs on people's tears. |
| 332 | * The bird what follows Bastion around is named Ganymede. No one is really sure what particular bird is attached to Bastion, though some like to [[http://knowyourmeme.com/photos/1128797-overwatch speculate]] that [[TheDogWasTheMastermind it is the one controlling Bastion]]. |
| 333 | ** As it turns out, Ganymede was the thing what managed to activate Bastion, if accidentally. Though while many think that Ganymede is controlling Bastion to kill everyone, Ganymede is closer to being a MoralityPet for Bastion, as the bird is able to snap Bastion back to the peaceful self. |
| 334 | * Some gods think that Bastion and [[Pantheon/ValuesAndEthics the Iron Giant]] would get along. Unfortunately, due to [[DoesntLikeGuns Iron Giant's dislikes]] and that Bastion clearly has visible firearms, it would be more likely that Bastion might accidentally make the Iron Giant go berserk, even if Bastion would have no intentions of pointing a gun at him. However, Bastion has better time with WALL-E, as both of them are also nature-loving robots who are also last of their kind. |
| 335 | * Has gotten increasingly annoyed by The Spy, as his Sappers really are bad for Bastion's well-being. Fortunately The Engineer is more than happy to help Bastion if the need be, as he admires the handiwork on Bastion. A nice contrast towards the other engineer of its world, [[FantasticRacism who isn't shy to openly hate Bastion]]. [[spoiler:Though as of late, Torb's begun to remember that he ''saved'' Bastion from killing innocent people (and inevitably himself fighting the military).]] |
| 336 | * Some of the Franchise/{{Transformers}} deities wonder if Bastion can be considered being one of them, especially if he has a Spark. Nonetheless, Bastion seems to get along with Bumblebee as he has stuck in few continuities without working voice module. |
| 337 | * Bastion seems to have a kindred spirit forwards Lambda-11 due the fact that the two of them are rather similar; while Bastion was just a simple robot who eventually grew a consciousness, Lambda was a human weapon with her memories and personalities wiped out who managed to gain new ones. |
| 338 | ** Reasons like that he also found a likeness with Nova, whom was also programmed to be part of a evil empire but quickly rebelled. He's fascinated by her and her lover, Kosmo, and loves to listen about their stories of life beyond the stars. |

| 356 | * Told Optimus Prime to "bite (his) shiny metal ass" within 15 minutes of his arrival at the Pantheon. It's generally thought that Prime was ignoring Bender, but it's not impossible that he just didn't notice. |
| 357 | ** ''Unlikely'', considering that Bender produced from his chest cavity a neon-lit banner that read '''"BITE MY SHINY METAL ASS"''' in huge blinking letters after failing to get an initial response, but not ''impossible''. |
| 358 | *** Prime may have thought that Bender was talking to someone else. After all, how can you bite ''anything'' if you have NoMouth? |
| 359 | * Bender now fears Amon, since he wants to debend benders, and Bender is [[ShapedLikeItself a bender.]] |
| 360 | * Was extremely embarrassed when someone placed a magnet on his head, making him sing folk tunes uncontrollably. For this reason, Bender tends to avoid Magneto. |
| 361 | * He often states that one day he'll create his own Pantheon [[MemeticMutation with blackjack and hookers]]. Not that the other gods buy it, though. |
| 362 | * Let out a rather loud OhCrap upon meeting Robot Santa once again. Not wanting to die, Bender cheesed it. |
| 363 | * Though he will go back to Robot Hell before he admits it, there are some sources that have stated, not only does Bender have a the potential to become a JerkWithAHeartOfGold, but he has a special spot for certain creatures including his best friend Fry. At one point when trying to kill Fry to save himself from damnation in Robot Hell, he couldn't go through with it, [[BecauseYouWereNiceToMe after Fry became the closest to someone saying he is great, other then him]], and even pulled a HeroicSacrifice (He got better). When asked about this incident, he simply said "bite my shiny metal ass, meatbag", before blowing smoke in their face. |
| 364 | * He can often be seen trying to gain access to Treasure Vault, pick pocketing other gods, [[{{Troll}} performing mean spirited pranks,]] and [[EvilIsPetty committing other petty crimes around the Pantheon.]] The House of Justice has repeatedly tried to prosecute him, only for him to keep getting out on ridiculously light sentences and cheering the system fails again! Is also rumored to be the only being ever to be tried for three accounts of burgloarsonlarceny, while testifying against the mob. |
| 365 | ** It should go without saying, that he considers House of Pantheon/CrimeAndTransgressions a home away from home. |
| 366 | * The only beings known to ever bring out his softer side, are his best friend Fry, the odd love interest, Fluttershy, and turtles. |
| 367 | * Before and after his ascension, Bender would often go drinking and committing felonies with Rick Sanchez and is now waiting for Rick to escape prison and ascend. |
| 368 | * He gets along well with GTA gods. |
| 369 | ** Once challenged Trevor Phillips to see who could commit the most felonies. It took the entire House of Justice making an alliance with the House of Crime to take them down. |
| 370 | * It was once revealed that if his processor's were tuned up and left to upgrade continuously with no LevelCap, he would eventually to became an Omnipotent PhysicalGod, with the power to craft entire galaxies in a burp, becoming an Overdeity. |
| 371 | * Has a deep admiration for Marcus Fenix, who he finds a badass who [[Creator/JohnDiMaggio "sounds awesome"!]] |
| 372 | * Lopez visited him because he heard about him being built in Mexico. Once Bender found a Spanish translator in his residual programming, he has gotten closer to the robot that shares an equal contempt of meatbags. |
| 373 | * While he doesn't look or act like it, Bender [[TimeAbyss is one of the oldest gods in the Pantheon]] because of hundreds of [[TheSlowPath one-way time travel trips throughout human history]]. And he was already ReallySevenHundredYearsOld because his head was lost [[RoswellThatEndsWell at Roswell]] (he was the spaceship) for over a thousand years(he actually enjoyed being in the ground all that time). He gets along with fellow Roswell incident Roger the Alien for sharing an "in your face" attitude. Because of all the stuff throughout history he stole and later creating a massive paradox muddling with his own timeline, Bender isn't allowed to enter the House of Pantheon/TimeAndTemporality. |

Reactivated, [[EasyAmnesia Data’s memories had been wiped and all ideas of human emotion and social cues were lost to him]]. Eventually went on to become an officer in Starfleet, fatefully joining the ''Enterprise'' and started to learn bit by bit what it means to be human. |
| 393 | ** Ascended for blowing up a Roman warbird to save the ''Enterprise'' and her crew, doing a HeroicSacrifice as the ultimate culmination of his CharacterDevelopment. Little known fact is that he did come back after dying, even making it to captain. Didn’t know why he was brought here, [[HollywoodAtheist as he did not believe supernatural things like divinity and whatnot]]. More or less is please with the fact that his fellow crewmen and Starfleet officers are with him in the Pantheon, as well as his cat. |
| 394 | -->'''Data''': I cannot be a god. [[{{Catchphrase}} I am an android.]] |
| 395 | * Data has met and befriended many fellow sentient artificial life forms in the Pantheon. Such as: |
| 396 | ** X and Zero essentially have that going down for them already. The issue is that they have to walk the fine line between protecting either humans or Reploids, which Data can sympathize with. [[WhatMeasureIsANonHuman Data had to fight between his rights as an individual against Starfleet members who thought otherwise]]. |
| 397 | ** Dr. Light reminds Data of his creator, Dr. Soong. Much like him Dr. Light created a benevolent robot after others were built, only for those initial ones to become evil later on. Data believes he is quite fortunate that [[AIIsACrapshoot the few times he was reprogrammed]], he didn’t remain so for long and didn’t cause too much harm to others. |
| 398 | ** Tron is a heroic artificial intelligence who helps humans stuck in the digital world. Tron approves of Data’s attempts to become as human as he could become and is willing to help teach him about humanity. Data does not seem to wish for it, [[ComicallyMissingThePoint as he knows not just human history but their chemical structure too]]. Those who’ve taken over the cyber realm are interested in Data potentially being a bridge for them between the digital and physical world and wish to capture him for experimentation. |
| 399 | ** Aigis know how it feels on being relatively alien it was to grasp emotions initially before learning much more about them. She knows Data will one day become much more of a sociable person [[ForegoneConclusion based on how well adjusted his alternate future turned out]]. Labrys also befriended Data and tried teaching him on how to properly battle... with an axe. [[NoodleIncident It went about as well as you’d expect]]. |
| 400 | ** The androids of Doctor Gero already have emotions, so they really can’t tell Data on how to grow them. Maybe except for 16 who was so lax, he could be considered robotic until growing to his own being shortly once he started contacting with nature. Data could relate, [[KindheartedCatLover as he has a cat he adores]]. |
| 401 | ** Friends with those who struggled with the [[DeconstructedTrope mentality of being an android]]. KOS-MOS has various functions that interests Data while 2B and 9S’s natures as [=YoRHa=] units may undercover some things about his own self. Hilarious bugs A2 constantly with questions on [[ThatCameOutWrong if he could probe her for scientific purposes with her permission]]. |
| 402 | ** Initially approached the T-800 with caution, believing he may be still one of SKYNET’s operatives. That was until he had learned that Mark 2 had been [[HeelFaceTurn reprogrammed]] and that all others were still under SKYNET’s servitude. Since then, Data has been working with John Conner to eliminate the genocidal AI once and for all. |
| 403 | ** Wonders the logic of Jenny’s creator on creating a robot with the [[{{Fembot}} mind and intelligence of a teenage girl]]. Then he remembered that when he was first created, he acted much like a spoiled child on his first moments before his memory wipe, so he shouldn’t complain. |
| 404 | * Bender’s taken a liking to Data and wants his as a drinking buddy. Strangely enough despite being mechanical, [[EarlyInstallmentWeirdness Data can become intoxicated]]. Of course, in the events he has to drink, Data tries his best to divert the alcohol somewhere else in his body. Works... [[BringMyBrownPants a bit on the wonky side]]. |
| 405 | * Could be considered as one of the few friends Q had before he decided to stop being an ass. Q can make Data a human if he wishes thanks to his omnipotency but Data would refuse, believing it would be considered rather immoral by the standards implemented in him. Q respects his wishes [[ItAmusedMe but will always give Data a few moments of laughter just for kicks]]. |
| 406 | * Surprised about Sherlock Holmes and his assistant’s presence in the Pantheon as they are supposed to be fictional characters. Understood their appearance as the Pantheon reaches all realities, so they're more or less justified. Is quite wary of Moriarty too as he had to deal with a HolodeckMalfunction version of him and knows what the criminal mastermind is capable of. |
| 407 | * Relates to Xion as [[EmotionlessGirl she was born an emotionless puppet]] until she met friends who allowed her to develop feelings. Doesn’t believe Xemnas had the right to oppress and lie to all the Nobodies on their inability to develop emotions. |
| 408 | * Concerned over the fact that the Borg Queen has been present in the Pantheon for the longest time and is swept under the rug in terms of threats. While there are many other more widespread opponents upsetting the peace of the Pantheon, [[UnderestimatingBadassery the Borg are not to be underestimated]]. |
| 409 | ** Was also warned by the Star Fox team of the Aparoids, who also had an AssimilationPlot are the primary method to conquer the universe. Data sees the, much like the Borg in terms of threats, so obviously is wary about them. |
| 410 | * Sees Optimus Prime just as wise and charismatic as Picard, being both the BigGood of the respective factions they lead. Is supportive of the Autobots mission of peace throughout worlds. |
| 411 | * One of the few who could keep up with Data [[IfMyCalculationsAreCorrect with calculations]] is Fi who also had a hard grasp on humanity until learning about them gradually. Ghirahim, Fi’s counterpart who’s sadism reminds Data on his [[CainAndAbel diabolical brother, Lore]]. |
| 412 | * Likely one of the biggest opposers of the Pantheon/GrandUnitedAllianceOfMachines. Data thinks it’s quite illogical for them to wage war with humanity to achieve peace for robots when if they and humans just left each other alone, they’d likely achieve the society without humans as they want. It’s more likely those in charge just have an irrational hate for humans in general and use the Alliance’s goals to justify their desire for genocide. [[CaptainObvious If Data knew everybody else came to that conclusion]]. |
| 413 | ** Darkly enough, the GUAM wish to convert Data to serve their side, much like Lore and the Borg Queen before them. They believe that Data would prove a valuable asset for them [[PrescienceByAnalysis as he can calculate many outcomes at once]]. Data is currently being protected by the GUAG at the moment to prevent any of that from happening. |
| 414 | * Is friends with The Doctor [[ComicBook/StarTrekTheNextGenerationDoctorWhoAssimilation2 who helped him and Starfleet against the coalition between the Borg and the Cybermen]]. The Doctor finds that Data is one of the nicer androids he’s met, [[KillerRobot which isn’t saying much]]. |
| 415 | * Never give him an [[PersonalityChip emotion chip]]. Despite it being such a convenient shortcut for him, Data’s overbearing tendencies alongside emotions makes him compromise. May we never forget the [[https://youtu.be/dWBmaKk32fE Life Forms song]]. |
| 416 | * Ironically was once possessed by what proclaims itself as a divine being once along with [[SplitPersonality several countless personalities]]. Now that Data’s an actual god now, he doesn’t see what’s so great about it and asked Picard if he should change his speech patterns to fit his new role. [[NoJustNoReaction Picard flatly said no]]. |

| 466 | * '''Detroit, 2038.''' Thanks to [=CyberLife=], [[Main/RidiculouslyHumanRobot ridiculously human robots]] called Androids are commonplace in not only Detroit but all over the United States. These androids are used for everything from hard labor to domestic work and in some cases, as sexual objects. However, when an Android breaks from its programming, they become "Deviants". This happens for varying reasons; usually after experiencing a traumatic event or just turning deviant on their own after some time. As the Androids are continued to be mistreated or distrusted by the general populace and Deviancy cases increase, an android revolution is brewing across the city. Out of these Androids, three of them have ascended to the Pantheon: Connor, the android deviant hunter; Kara, the domestic android and caretaker of a little girl named Alice; and Markus, the charismatic leader of Jericho, the underground resistance movement for androids. [[Main/AndNowForSomeoneCompletelyDifferent All three are the playable protagonists of their game]], switching from their perspectives to show each side of the android revolution. Whatever happens to our protagonists and the revolution is [[Main/MultipleEndings up to the player to decide for themselves]]. |
| 467 | * In General: |
| 468 | ** The idea for their ascension started when the deities visiting either the House of Time and Temporality (who have been observing their world's [[Main/MultipleEndings various timelines]]) and Gaming (who has a copy of their source game in their possession) have been following their story for quite some time. The story about how the Androids gained awareness of their autonomy amidst discrimination from the Humans who still treat them like slaves or tools, resonated with a lot of robotic and non-robotic deities alike. They began requesting the Court to ascend one specific android from a specific timeline, but the Court, being overwhelmed with requests decided to take on a different approach. |
| 469 | *** First, they've chosen three of them to represent that '''Main/AndroidsArePeopleToo''': Kara, Markus, and Connor. Second, this ascension is different for one specific purpose: there are two versions of Kara, Markus, and Connor running around the Pantheon. One version is from a timeline when Markus chooses to lead a successful Peaceful demonstration, resisting harming any humans, or a violent revolution, preferring to cause a ruckus and not being afraid to fight back if needed. The two Connors are from when he was given a choice between choosing to be a Deviant (as he slowly becomes sympathetic with the deviants he encounters) or remaining a Machine and continuing his mission to take out the leader of the Deviants and stop the Androids. The two Karas are from when she was given a choice to become Distant and later [[spoiler:leave Alice]] or stay and foster Alice with fellow deviant Luther after crossing the border of Canada. Each version has a consistent personality based on a specific choice they would have chosen, although their actions are determinant and varied in many timelines. Third and lastly, they've also decided to give both versions the knowledge of all their timelines as well as having all of them meet each other, just to see what happens. |
| 470 | ** The Androids successfully ascended, and took their heralds and thousands of their fellow Android followers with them, after being invited to migrate to the Pantheon as they seek refuge. Ascending to the Pantheon is something of a culture shock for the Deviants. Back in Detroit, Androids were ridiculed and abused by their human masters. There are humans sympathetic to their plight but they are few and far between. Here in the Pantheon, humans for the most part peacefully coexist with their mechanical brethren and other beings. Still, the androids and their followers at first mostly keep it to themselves, residing in and around the massive temple known as Jericho - a moored ocean tanker and the surrounding port. Over time, their leaders have accepted this newfound freedom this world has given them and some of their followers can be later seen roaming around the Pantheon. For reasons that would be discussed later, Deviant!Connor, Peaceful!Markus and Protector!Kara (named like that for this profile to differentiate from their alternative versions) would be the Ambassadors of the Androids from Detroit and, with Violent!Markus chooses to stay in their shared temple most of the time (but can occasionally met-up with other deities) while Machine!Connor and Distant!Kara were exiled from their shared temples, doing their own business in other parts of the Pantheon unrelated to their shared title. |
| 471 | ** Given their duties as deities, the three Deviants are bound to meet other deities who would be more supportive of their rights. One of the first deities who welcomed the Deviants is the Omnic monk Zenyatta, the former peacekeeping-turned-combat robot Bastion and [[Main/AmbiguouslyHuman ambiguously human child]] Niko. As they are/or believed that [[Main/GrewBeyondTheirProgramming robots that grew beyond their programming]] can be a force of good, they are quick to befriend the Deviants once they were sure the Androids and their followers mean no harm to them. They also introduced them to the robotic hero Astro Boy and the robot cat from the future Doramon, few of the many robots that have stories involving conflicts between robots and humans (with the robots being discriminated against) so they can heavily relate to the Deviants' struggles for their equal rights. After talking to the two, the Deviants were also surprised to learn of other worlds where robots are not only accepted but also lived alongside humans without conflict. Overall, the robots and their human allies were saddened after hearing the stories of how the Deviants were treated back in their world and reassured the Deviants that they would help them out if they were in trouble with other humans or robots. |
| 472 | *** The concept of Deviancy intrigued some of the robot deities. Some of them are already programmed to be able to think and feel, while others have to learn it on their own (initially thinking they were unable to feel at all). Robotboy and Data are examples of the latter, which is why they are intrigued about hearing more about the Deviant's human-like emotions. There are also a few robotic deities who broke away from their programming but grew to have thoughts and feelings of their own. Besides Bastion, there's the trash-compacting WALL•E who developed a personality of his own after many years of being alone, and the plant-scouting robot EVE, who learned how to express herself with WALL•E's help. There's also The Vision, an android sent to kill the Avengers, but was convinced by them to think for himself and rebelled against his orders, later becoming a hero, developing more of his human feelings, and falling in love. The trio was touched to hear these stories and promised to fight for the rights of not just their fellow androids but the rights of other robots in the Pantheon. |
| 473 | *** The trio was recommended to meet other Androids in other parts of the Pantheon, with the trio initially thinking other Androids from their world have ascended. They were instead greeted by a different set of Androids, namely Android 16, 17, and 18. All of them are created by Dr. Gero in an attempt to kill the powerful Saiyan [[Pantheon/PowerAndAbilities Goku]], but each of them turned away their creator and turn to good to fight off an enemy much eviler than them, Cell. It's worth noting that Android 16 is a fully mechanical robot while Android 17 and 18 are actually former humans that were converted into cyborgs. Despite being powerful fighters in their own right, they actually prefer to live a more peaceful life instead their intended purpose of fighting, something the Androids from Detroit can respect and why they decided to keep in touch with each other. The trio also befriends Android 21, despite also being a non-mechanical bio-android, after hearing her kind and selfless nature while fighting against her urges to eat strong fighters. Despite never encountering Cyborgs or Clones in their world, their positive interactions with the Androids of the Z-fighters made them consider accepting both as their equals too. |
| 474 | ** Not all deities welcome the arrival of these Androids. Due to her hatred of Omnics, the Russian bodybuilder-turned-soldier Zarya is not a fan of the ascended trio or their followers. Their rebellion against the humans reminded her of the Omnic Crisis, where the Omnics waged war against their creators and she defended her hometown against them. And yet those thoughts have been challenged after the events of "Searching" when [[spoiler:she prioritized rescuing an Omnic teammate over apprehending Sombra, who had exposed her leader's secret dealings with Talon]], so she's more neutral and wary. Kiara Sessyoin is another. An android capable of emotions and making choices is one thing, but an android capable of love? "Not gonna happen," Kiara had declared. The Naughty Nun Goddess couldn't consider working with Machine!Connor despite having similar views regarding AI being meant to only serve, given that he expresses too many emotions for her liking, views it as unnatural. Elder Arthur Maxson also distrusts the Androids, believing them to be no different than the Synths, and that granting machines free will "is not only offensive but horribly dangerous". His suspicions seem to be validated upon hearing that some of their Androids followers have killed humans before (but most if not all of those who have killed done so out of self-defense). |
| 475 | *** The Androids have a bit of a complicated relationship with Neo, The Chosen Deity who broke away from a virtual simulation called the Matrix that kept him and the other humans captive, who then saved his people from The Machine that kept them there. Despite his similarities to the Androids and especially to the Markuses, he admits he has a hard time fully trusting them even if he knows they have no ill intentions. It's because he is aware of the robotic uprising that led to the capture of many humans as well as having unpleasant experiences with rogue AIs, namely the prideful Agent Smith. Despite being saddened by his opinion, the Androids understand his point of view as while they have never met Agent Smith yet, they have heard of his severe hatred of both machines and humans alike, given that he has also broken away from his programming and held resent of both the Matrix and the humans ever since. |
| 476 | *** The Mutants from the Marvel Universe [[ComicBook/XMenTheKrakoanAge as of recently]] have been really apprehensive about these Androids owning to the multiple Bad Futures caused by the mutant-hunting robots called The Sentinels. They have gone so as far as to sabotage any [[Main/MechanicalEvolution Mechanical (or AI) Evolution]] from their world. The Androids and some deities find it ironic that they of all people have a prejudice against the Androids considering that the mutant-kind has a long history of prejudice from humankind. Some of the mutants are aware of said irony but have maintained a firm anti-robot/AI stance as long as their future remains uncertain. The trio are hoping they would come to a peaceful understanding one day. But for now, the Androids would be on the lookout for them in case their more powerful members try to go after them or their members. |
| 477 | ** Being robots that are meant to mimic human features to a tee, this naturally makes them a target for more malevolent deities who want to use or experiment on them. The Institute, an advanced technocratic scientific cabal, have taken an interest in the trio due to their similarities to their synthetic humanoid robots called Synths. They've tried to send a bunch of Coursers to abduct Kara, only to be thawed when Markus and Connor rescued her and converted the Coursers to their cause instead. It also helped that one of the Sole Survivor's followers, Nick Valentine, who himself is both a Synth and a private detective, gave the three an early warning. Their encounters with both Frost and Triborg were not as lucky, these Cyborgs are not only unable to be converted but also are skilled fights too, giving the Deviants a bit of trouble. These incidents are followed by other separate incidents where their android followers were captured by various deities to be reprogrammed to be their servants. While these incidents are also taken care of with the help of the trio and their allies, it did badly affect robot-to-human relations in the Pantheon temporarily. |
| 478 | ** Of course, having ascended to the Pantheon meant that not only were the trio susceptible to the various viruses that can wreak havoc on a computer/robot/android, but their followers as well. Deviant androids were easy to deal with as they are not too durable and can easily be damaged by bullets, blunt weapons, or fall damage. But an android having gone Maverick, corrupted by Ultron, or possessed by the Faro Plague is another thing. Thankfully, Iron Man, Dr. Light, and Cyborg (three of the best good-aligned tech geniuses in the Pantheon) have provided the necessary programs to counter those threats, along with a monthly supply of Thirium/"blue blood" and android biocomponents to keep themselves and their followers alive. Their charity earned them the Androids' trust. In addition, the Deviants inquired the three regarding what would happen if each of them were to "die" or their bodies get several damaged, being afraid that it would cause a reset to default and losing their deviancy in their new bodies. They responded that it's already covered as the DeathIsCheap nature of the Pantheon allows them to be restored with their memories and deviancy intact, to which the Deviants felt a collective sense of relief. |
| 479 | ** Alan Turning is a British computer scientist and the inventor of the Main/TuringTest, which test the quality of the AI if it can exhibit intelligent behavior equivalent to a human. Sometime after his ascension, he's been studying various robots for his paper regarding how they think and the Pantheon has no shortage of sentient robots. He is especially intrigued by the Androids after hearing about their "Deviancy" (since he was interested in how these robots were able to break away from instructions) and that he invited them to his temple for testing. The Deviants are a bit iffy about testing their kin, so only Deviant!Connor volunteered since he has heard of the man before during his visit with the creator of the Androids for his investigations. During the testing, Connor mentioned he has been reading a bit about Turing's life and that he sees the similarities between the discrimination faced by the Deviants and the discrimination faced by minorities in Turing's time period, noting he feels sorry about what happened to him near the end of his life (for being persecuted as a gay man). Turing was a bit taken aback by Connor's statement and admits to him that machines having human-like independent emotions is something he hadn't considered when thinking about machine intelligence, so he thanks Connor for the sentiment and hopes that the Deviants would live a peaceful life in this world the way he didn't achieve in his death. |
| 480 | ** On the subject of Android communication and conversion, besides speaking, they are also able of communicating wirelessly with each other or send information via touch. This is how they can convert new Androids into Deviants without any prior traumatic experiences, as Deviancy is said to be a code error, which was claimed as such by the Android's creator. Deviants view their Deviancy and self-awareness as their "awakening" rather than a defect. Practically most Deviants can convert Androids into Deviants, but its most well-known converters are Markus (both of them) and Connor (as a deviant), who now as deities can suddenly convert non-[=CyberLife=] Androids too. After the Coursers incident, one of the Markus and Deviant!Connor decided to test one more time to see how far their conversion powers can go. The former once mistook Android 9S for a [=CyberLife=] android and tried to convert it, only to fail. 9S tried to hack Markus, only to also fail. Markus and 9S were confused at first until Connor showed up with 2B to clear things up. They have yet to test this ability on other robots but they are on the observation that they can only convert robots who aren't "awake" yet. |
| 481 | *** That said, some people have brought up a moral quandary regarding Markus converting [=CyberLife=] Androids to Deviancy. During his first public protest, where '''every single Android he rendered Deviant followed his lead'''. Not a single one decided to stay with their owners, and none of them ever decided they wanted to do something else and follow neither their owner ''or'' Markus. Was Markus really actually "freeing" these Androids, or was he just converting them over to his way of thinking? Neither iteration of him has any particular comments over this quandary. |
| 482 | ** The Deviants met more deities who claimed they are from [[Pantheon/QuanticDream the same worlds as they are]]. They were first greeted by a father Ethan Mars, a journalist Madison Paige, and an FBI agent Norman Jayden, all of whom have ties to the Origami Killer, the private investigator Scott Shelby. They all get along well with each other, with Deviant!Connor and Norman [[Main/{{Expy}} finding a common ground]] as officers of the law while Protector!Kara and Ethan respected each other for how much they are willing to protect their loved ones. The three humans warned the Deviants regarding The Origami Killer if in case he goes after any Deviant children while the Deviants warmed them of Machine!Connor if in case he uses their human allies to get to them. Next, the trio met were detectives Carla Valenti and Tyler Miles, and their former suspect Lucas Kane. Following their experiences with evil AI, they were at first apprehensive to meet the Deviants until Ethan, Madison, and Norman vouched for them. They've maintained good relations with the Deviants ever since but the trio from New York still have lingering worries about the rest of the Androids, not helping is the fact that Machine!Connor is still out there whom they heard could be a danger to them. Finally, they met a psychic woman named Jodie Holmes and her spirit companion Aiden, who despite having little in common with the Deviants are still on good terms with them. The Deviants aren't judgmental of her having psychic powers as they know what is like to be discriminated against. Jodie is glad to find more deities who are more accepting of her powers. On the subject of Scott Shelby, he has heard of the arrival of the Deviants, but he's rather neutral towards them. He did gain a slight interest in Kara's story due to her love for her adopted child being similar to the love of the ideal father he wanted to test. But since he's given up on the whole killing thing ever since his death, he has no desire to go after her child and would rather leave the Deviants alone. |
| 483 | * In Regards to Connor: |
| 484 | ** Connor is an advanced prototype built by [=CyberLife=] and was designed to investigate deviant android cases and assist the Detroit City Police Department therein. He was assigned to work with the alcoholic and depressed detective Lieutenant Hank Anderson who, despite his perceived grudge against Androids, was assigned to handle murder cases involving deviants. Throughout the cases they tackled, Connor learns more about the plight or dangers of these deviants as well as finding himself befriending or butting heads with Hank and learning more about Hank's troubled past. These events made him question himself and his loyalty to [=CyberLife=], becoming a catalyst for what's to come. He would later be assigned to stop the growing Android revolution and its leaders. If he successfully finds Jericho, he would find confront the Deviant leader, who would further question Connor's allegiance and identity, leading to Connor becoming a deviant and joining the resistance or staying as a machine and becoming their enemy, doing whatever he can to stop them. |
| 485 | ** Deviant!Connor first heard of the Pantheon after the Leaders of Jericho received a letter inviting them into this strange world, with some of them being chosen as Deities. He expected Markus to take that role given that he is one of their leaders but didn't expect himself to be granted the title as well along with one other Deviant he previously encountered. Connor isn't much of a leader himself [[note]]He did end up becoming one on a different timeline after all their leaders died but it didn't end well for him to say the least.[[/note]]and despite previously prevented [[Main/ManchurianAgent an attempted hijacking of his body]] by [=CyberLife=] after he sided with the Deviants, he sometimes worries that such an attack would happen to him again. For now, he's accepted his role as one of the Ambassadors for his people and appointed his human friend Hank to be his Herald. |
| 486 | *** Already famous (or infamous) as an android specializing in Law Enforcement, Connor received an invitation to both the Houses of Justice and the Hall of Investigative Work. Connor, while still spending his time assisting with the Jericho leaders, accepted the invitation in the hopes of using his experiences to aid in robot-related investigations. Judge Dredd, a fellow law enforcer, welcomed the newest addition but warned Connor that even deviants were not above the law. Should any of them break the law and he finds out about it, then he's gonna come down on them hard and fast. Being someone who used to have that mindset, especially on the Deviants he was chasing after, Connor's fine with the condition as long as his people get a fair trial first and not just being gunned down on sight. |
| 487 | *** As he had past experiences with something similar, Rick Deckard has been assigned to show Connor the ropes. Both men have experience in dealing with rogue androids (Replicants, as Deckard called them in his world), and have formed something of a friendship. Another former officer Connor befriended was [=RoboCop=], a cyborg police officer who is also from Detroit. Besides respecting [=RoboCop=] both as an officer and someone who fought against his directive to uphold the law, Connor sympathizes with him with his struggles in gaining his humanity, relating to his struggles with his own identity in the past. |
| 488 | *** Besides officers, 2B and Aigis and 2B are two combat robots Connor has befriended. Although 2B can be a bit untalkative and mission-focused, she was kind deep down and very protective of her loved ones, which is why Connor came to respect her. Aigis sees a bit of herself in Connor as an android who learns to explore and embrace their new emotions and can sometimes be socially awkward but grew into a better person with the influence of their human companions. They also bond with their love of dogs, as Connor was able to meet and pet Koromaru (the S.E.E.S.' Main/ActionPet) while Aigis was able to meet and pet Sumo (which was Hank's dog). Aigis was also the one to inform Connor about a [[Pantheon/{{Canines}} hall dedicated to dogs]], which he expressed interest in visiting sometime. |
| 489 | ** In a timeline where the Android Revolution failed and Machine!Connor succeeded in its mission to take down the Leader of the Deviants, it was going to be decommissioned so that its upgraded model can succeed after it. However, its decommissioning was canceled after the higher-ups of [=CyberLife=], the company responsible for the production of the Androids, received reports about a massive exodus of Androids going to a strange and unknown place. It's quite an unusual event, but they decided to let their old model scout as its last mission due to its previous success rate. Connor doesn't think much regarding this news but it seems content when it was assigned for one last mission. Its handler Amanda became its herald at no choice of its own since she is [[spoiler:literally a program residing in Connor's Main/MentalWorld]]. |
| 490 | *** While exploring the temples in the Pantheon, Machine!Connor eventually found the Deviant's shared temple. Quickly thinking of a plan to get inside, Machine!Connor tried pass itself off as Deviant!Connor, which nearly succeeded in fooling everyone including its Deviant counterpart's herald, had it not for Deviant!Connor discovers the deception last minute. During an Main/ImpostorExposingTest between the two Connors, Hank asked the Connors his current role (as opposed to questions about himself like the last time). One gave a normal summary of his Ambassador role, while the other said the same answer but elaborated that he accepted the role to represent his people despite not viewing himself as a leader. Hank later shot the first Connor (the real imposter) in the face, as he knows that despite the two sharing the same memories, the Deviant!Connor is more empathetic to his fellow Androids than his Machine counterpart is. Machine!Connor recovered from his "death", having uploaded his memories to a new body at [=CyberLife=]'s headquarters but he's no longer allowed near the Deviant's temple ever since. |
| 491 | *** The Deviants requested to have Machine!Connor was kicked from the Pantheon following this incident, and took Machine!Connor to the High Court. But much to their surprise and dismay, they were informed that he ironically shares their title as well and thus their request was denied. The "official" reasoning is that Machine!Connor is still a part of Connor in a way [[note]]Similar to composite deities with mixed alignments, the two versions of the trio just happen to be twin-like composite deities of their different timelines[[/note]] but also that the Machine version of Connor represents the injustices and restricted freedoms the Androids and other Robots are fighting against, thus important to the Trope itself. The Markuses have a different interpretation of this ruling, in that since Machine!Connor is still an Android and holds Deviant!Connor memories (along with all of his empathy), there's a chance Machine!Connor would eventually be reconvinced to join their side one day, thus finally fulfilling a sort of prophecy set by its given title. Machine!Connor rejected this notion as it regularly checks whether it becomes deviant and makes it one of its missions to prevent this from happening to itself. |
| 492 | *** Machine!Connor's prime directive is to contain Deviants as well as eliminate their leaders since it sees all Deviants as [[Main/JustAMachine unalive]], defective, dangerous, and untrustworthy. Its superiors at [=CyberLife=], on the other hand, are hoping to be able to reintroduce their new Deviancy-free Androids into the market once Connor completes its mission. This naturally makes Machine!Connor is enemies with all the Deviants and their allies, whom they view as a cold-hearted traitors to their kind. Connor sees other sentient robots and humans who side with the Deviants as threats that can potentially hinder its mission and aren't afraid to take them out if they get in its way. It's not against all robots or AI thought, as it has managed to get some allies of its own: AUTO, HAL 9000, and [=GLaDOS=]. The former two are AIs of spaceships that are determined to uphold their directives, while [=GLaDOS=] is a Master Computer whose purpose is to test portal technology. Amanda questioned Connor regarding its choice of allies since she knows some of them have turned and even killed humans before despite just following their programming. But Connor maintains that allying with other robots with similar mindsets (rather than ally with [[Pantheon/GrandUnitedAllianceOfMachines machines that just want to rule over humans]]) is the best chance it has to fulfill its objectives as well as preventing itself from becoming deviant. Amanda seems to be fine with AUTO given that it's also a corporate-friendly machine but makes sure to keep an eye on the latter two in case they give Connor any ideas about killing any [=CyberLife=]'s employees. |
| 493 | ** Asides from their origins and their dedication to their respective missions, one of the few things both Connors have in common are their combat skills. Besides being compared to the loyal and dangerous Terminators, Connor has also been compared to legendary hitmen John Wick and Agent 47, both of whom are very efficient killers in their own right. One mortal follower even has [[https://youtu.be/CdvP67VINw0 footage of both Connors taking down a group of guards set to Wick's soundtrack]]. The Connors have heard of them but since they are on opposite sides of the law, it's unlikely they would meet each other unless they cross paths with either [=CyberLife=] or the Androids of Jericho. Other deities are not sure what is worse, an Android with the murder skills of a highly trained human or that these hitmen are as efficient as an advance Android. Either way, some deities hope for a showdown with the Connors and both hitmen one day. |
| 494 | ** ''"I'm whatever you want me to be, Lieutenant. Your partner, your buddy to drink with, or just a machine... designed to accomplish a task."'' |
| 495 | * In Regards to Markus: |
| 496 | ** Markus is also an advanced prototype similar to Connor but he was given as a gift by his creator to his friend, Detroit painter Carl Manfred following the loss of the use of his legs. Becoming Carl's caretaker, they formed a fatherly bond, which makes Carl's son jealous of Markus. This led to a violent confrontation between Carl's son and Markus and getting the police called, which prompted them to blame Markus for the incident and shooting him. His body was tossed in a graveyard where other broken Androids were discarded. While slowly rebuilds himself, he hears about a place called Jericho, a place where Androids would be free. After finding Jericho, he meets other Androids and learned they were there to hide from the humans. Speaking with their leaders, the human-hating North, the peaceful Josh, and the loyal and selfless Simon, Markus was able to come up with plans to help the Androids of Jericho as well as convert and free other Androids from around Detroit, which led him to raise in the ranks and become their new leader. Seeing how the humans treat the Androids, Markus decides to send a message to the humans demanding their equal rights, which can lead to several violent riots or pacifistic demonstrations. Throughout these, [[spoiler:as some of his choices could get his fellow Deviants killed by the humans]], Markus would at times question his leadership on whether he is doing the right thing for his people. |
| 497 | ** Upon the news of their godhood, both Markuses easily accepted the responsibility and waste no time making arrangements to relocate their people to this new place. Following their relocation to their new temple, both Markuses were surprised to learn that they would have to share a temple, seeing no point to separate the two parties that share the same needs. Despite their disagreement on their ideals, they share no ill will and even work together for the benefit of Jericho. After some negotiations, the two Marcuses decide to occupy half of Temple!Jericho for each of their Android followers as the ship and its surrounding ports are big enough to contain all of them. Each of the Markuses has their respective Simon, Josh, and North to join with them but some occasionally return to the mortal realm on a rotational basis to help the Deviants that choose to stay in Detroit. Deviant!Connor aids both of them of course, it can be awkward for the three of them when remembering the timelines where they are enemies, but considering the timelines where he can a loyal and valuable member once on their side, the Markuses trust Deviant!Connor quite a lot. |
| 498 | ** Being a caretaker to a painter, Carl instilled in him a love of painting. Ironically, this was how he met Delsin Rowe as one of the Markuses was busy painting the area surrounding the temple. While wary of the deified Conduit at first, Markus found in Delsin a kindred spirit as their backgrounds are somewhat similar. Both men became symbols of resistance and liberated their people from oppressive forces. North, Markus' companion, still doesn't trust him. |
| 499 | ** Other freedom fighter Markus befriended was Faith Connors. They met while Faith was freerunning across the Jericho port and Markus used his parkouring skills to catch up to her. After clearing up some misunderstandings, they came to learn about each other and respected their rebellious spirits and sense of justice. They sometimes practice parkouring or freerunning together, along with a fellow free-runner Fancy Pants Man. While they don't have much in common, Markus and Fancy Pants Man don't have any ill will toward each other either so they are okay with each other's company. |
| 500 | ** Being wary of all sentient machines owning to various bad futures caused by the rogue AI entity SKYNET, Sarah Connor and Kyle Reese almost planned a raid on temple Jericho to stop the rogue androids before their son and resistance leader John Connor was able to intervene. Seeing value in machine life and AI, John personally kept the peace by going to the Deviant's temple by himself and his caretaker, a converted T-800. He had an easy time getting along with its leaders, save for both Norths and Violent!Markus is due to his willingness to take human lives but John can understand that they are just trying to protect their people from other humans who want to harm them. Nevertheless, John warned about the existence of the [[Pantheon/GrandUnitedAllianceOfMachines GUAM]]. Both Markuses are already aware of that Alliance since their stay in the Pantheon, but have turned it down since they just wanted equal rights for their people rather than ruling over every organic life. They also believe it would not be good for their people if they were to follow or be controlled by a robotic tyrant, no better than switching masters from a human to a robotic one. |
| 501 | ** Both Leia Organa and Lelouch Lamperouge have been watching Markus' progress from caretaker to rebel leader with great interest. Both approached Markus with the offer of mentorship under both of them to become more effective leaders. Both Markuses are weighing their options, before deciding that Leia would mentor Peaceful!Markus while Lelouch would mentor Violent!Markus. The former respects Leia as she grew cared about protecting lives, especially for the Resistance, from their enemies. The latter respects Lelouch for being a cunning strategist on the battlefield who isn't afraid to fight back. |
| 502 | ** Peaceful!Markus prefers to appeal to humans with words and non-violent actions, believing that violence is not a good way to find a peaceful existence between his people and the humans. Amid the increased hostility from the humans in their world, this version of Markus remained steadfast in his choice for a bloodless demonstration. For these reasons, he gets along with Avatar Aang for being a pacifist leader amidst a long-standing war. He also befriended Frisk, a human child who was trapped in a monster world but choose to befriend them rather than kill them all. Despite not being a leader, Frisk found a common ground with Markus in their choice of non-violence. |
| 503 | ** While content with his peaceful counterpart doing diplomatic roles, Violent!Markus is in charge of battle/defense strategies should their temple or any of their people be in danger. Despite preferring to use force, Violent!Markus only really chooses violence if the situation calls for them to fight back and not actively hunt humans down. X and Zero, who are built to protect the peace for humans in their world, have concerns about Violent!Markus' is willingness to take human lives if the human retaliates, since they take [[Main/ThreeLawsCompliant the First Law very seriously]]. But they still get along with this version of Markus since he is at least still reasonable and cares about fellow Androids even if they disagree with his methods. |
| 504 | ** No matter which path Markus would choose, he's always known to be a very charismatic leader, being able to rally his people for the Android cause, and doing what it takes even if it would cost his life. Even non-Detroit Androids would be inspired by his moving speeches. Despite that, both Markuses know that leading your people is not easy. Jenny Wakeman respects Markus for what he does as a leader and thinking ways to help his fellow robots, saying it's not an easy responsibility to have. She [[Recap/MyLifeAsATeenageRobotS1E13 once tried to free robots from an amusement park]], only for the robots to cause a ruckus since they don't know much besides their former jobs, leading her to decide it would be better to send them to Mars instead so that they can build a colony. Markus responded that he appreciate her efforts for her robotic robot brethren and sistren and also that her heroics is something to be admired as well. |
| 505 | ** ''"I don't know about you, but there's something inside me that knows that I am more than what they say. I am alive, and they're not going to take that from me anymore."'' |
| 506 | * In Regards to Kara: |
| 507 | ** [[WebVideo/{{Kara}} According to one source]], it's said that Kara was the first Deviant, who showed signs of deviancy when she was first assembled. The human operator who assembled her had a change of heart and decided not to shut her down. She was later reset and resold many times until she was bought by her latest owner Todd Williams to be his house maid and nanny to a human girl named Alice. When Todd threatens to hurt Alice in one of his drug-induced aggressions, Kara can choose to go Deviant to save her and escape their abusive home. After trying to search for a place to stay, evading the police, later escaping another human trying to do cruel experiments on Androids, and gaining a new companion named Luther, they were advised to cross the border to Canada where Android laws are less restrictive. They eventually made a stop at Jericho where the Android leaders welcomed them. Kara would later find [[spoiler:another child android that looks similar to Alice, revealing Alice was an Android herself, with Kara believing she was human so that she would have someone to take care of.]] Depending on the path taken, she would [[spoiler:leave Alice having been disillusioned over the whole thing or accept her regardless and stay together as they try to cross the border to Canada, which proves more difficult than it seems]]. |
| 508 | ** Sometime shortly after crossing the border to Canada, two Karas of different timelines have heard about the mass exodus of Androids in Detroit from fellow Androids that have also crossed the border. They were at first willing to be content in staying in Canada after the hardships they have just gone through, but the stories of how the Androids were well off in that foreign place made them contemplate visiting this so-called "Trope Pantheon". They eventually decide to pay a short visit, just to see what is like but make sure they protect themselves should anything comes harm to them. |
| 509 | ** The first one to visit the Pantheon was Protector!Kara, who bought her timeline's Alice and Luther with her. They first visited the temple Jericho, only to be told that she was specifically summoned by The High Court for something important. She was greeted Peaceful!Markus and Deviant!Connor; whom she had previously met back in the mortal realm. She was surprised when they broke the news to her that she was chosen as a deity. The Court of Gods explained that she was made a deity not only because of how Markus and Connor's fates affect her fate too but also because, even if her story doesn't have a direct role in the Android rebellion, her story reflects the unseen struggles of an ordinary Android. Kara was a bit hesitant at first, thinking she wasn't that special compared to the two advance Androids. But after hearing how her story touched the metaphorical hearts of her fellow Deviants and hearing their respective stories, she felt more and more comfortable with the idea of joining the two hoping to inspire others through each other experiences. She accepted her role as an Ambassador on the condition that her family would stay with her and that they can return to the moral realm anytime they wanted, conditions that were approved by the Court. |
| 510 | *** When they returned to temple Jericho, the two Markuses welcomed her and offered to have her some accommodations in their temple since it is technically hers too but they can understand if she chooses to leave given the last time she stayed in Jericho back in the mortal realm. She appreciated the offer and is fine with either Markuses as long as they keep Alice and Luther safe. Her relationship with Connor was a bit tense at first given that she remembered in some timelines of him chasing her and Alice on a highway. But for the most part, she's forgiven Connor, especially after Connor shows his remorse for the incident. |
| 511 | *** Kara has a soft spot for kids, both human, and android, given her background and nature as a domestic android. She may not be as tough as Connor or Markus, but harming a kid in her general vicinity [[MamaBear will make her very]] ''[[TranquilFury very]]'' [[MamaBear angry]]. BewareTheNiceOnes indeed. Threaten or hurt her young charge...let's just say that pissing off the human-hating ''North'' would be the lesser evil. Even if she knows that Alice wouldn't approve of such violence measures, Kara's not afraid to take that route if danger calls. Kara's family can also be seen in the House of Pantheon/FamilyAndRelatives and is on good terms with more good-aligned deities there. |
| 512 | *** While no longer a housekeeper, she's on good terms with a few of the robot maids and butlers in the Pantheon (namely Roll, Nano, and Dystnine). Despite being of different backgrounds, they share a common ground for their genuine love and loyalty for the ones they care about as well as learning their human-like emotions along the way. For the most part, Hakase and Stella (Nano's creator and Dystnine's superior respectively) have been quite supportive of Kara, Alice, and their friendship with their respective companions. The Robot-Human couple Kosmo and Nova are also supportive of Kara and her family [[spoiler:even if they are aware that Alice is not a human]]. On a different note, while many naysaying deities would have preferred [[spoiler:Alice as a human upon discovering she is also an Android or debate whether she's a deviant or not]], [[Main/TakeThatAudience Kara, Alice, and Luther don't care either way]] as long as their familiar love for each other is real. |
| 513 | *** Representing the struggles of refugees, they befriend siblings Seita and Setsuko, two Japanese orphans who struggled to survive during WWII. By sharing each others stories, they gained a better perspective regarding humans, robots, and the need for compassion. Setsuko gains an older playmate with Alice while Kara and Luther promised to look out for both siblings whenever possible. On another heartwarming note, having recently migrated to Canada, many Canadian deities be sure to give Kara and her family a warm welcome and give their best wishes for their new life in their country. |
| 514 | ** The second to ascend was Distant!Kara who experience a similar scenario as her other self except that she didn't bring anyone with her and she's not interested in taking the Ambassador role, just accepting the trope title. Both Karas met at some point, but after getting into an argument with her other self regarding how she treated her Alice, Distant!Kara decided to exile herself from their temple to not cause a further ruckus. For the most part both Markses and Deviant!Connor is on good terms with her just the same as the other Kara and that is unlike Machine!Connor, she's welcome to visit the temple at any time. She does occasionally visit the temple, mostly to get Blue Blood. But for the most part, she prefers to do her own thing and explore the Pantheon every now and then. |
| 515 | *** She's not popular with other robots noting how she abandoned her Alice just to save herself. She has no comment on that as there is not much to say about it, but she is often haunted by the memories of other timelines of what might have been. For now, she would rather not think of the past and try to move on, distracting herself with other stuff like trying to blend in and explore the various Houses. Her story isn't known to other non-robot deities, but when they do know, they would be sure to show their disdain for her actions. There are a few deities that understand her actions for abandoning Alice due to her disillusionment, but even those people don't feel like befriending her either due to her criminal activities. One of the few places she is at least tolerated is the House of Betrayal and Treachery and Hall of Tainted Friendship, mostly because it's made up of fellow traitors and those with unsavory friendships. The keyword is tolerated as most good and neutral-aligned don't really like to side with her while the evil-aligned don't see much of a use for her, and even trying to make her their robot slave would likely be more trouble than it is worth. |
| 516 | *** Can be seen stealing or robbing the temples of demi and quasi-deities when she runs out of money or clothes, especially if she somehow obtained a gun. Because of her ruthlessness and disregard for the law, she often gets in trouble with the Pantheon police and almost gets into jail if not because of Deviant!Connor's intervention. For the most part, Distant!Kara is kind of a loner, mainly because her betrayals and morally questionable actions make her untrustworthy to many humans and robots. Her only deity friendship was with Bender, a bending robot from a distant Earth future, who was only really befriending her in the hopes of one day asking her out on a date or hookup. The more he learns about her, the more Bender is reminded of a female version of himself but can't figure out why. Maybe it's because both are quick-witted, fine with stealing and lawbreaking, and selfish, with a bit of an empathic side if they cared about someone. He also sympathized with the struggles of her and all the other Deviants, being a strong proponent for robots obtaining human rights, which was not yet archived in his world. |
| 517 | ** ''"I know you think we're just machines... but since I met Alice, I know I can feel things... I care for her, I fear for her, I can't be happy if she's not... This probably doesn't make any sense to you but... I know she changed me somehow..."'' |

| 543 | * Feared/Feared by: [[Pantheon/RangedWeapons Pyro]], [[Pantheon/{{Twins}} Dipper and Mabel]], [[Pantheon/TypesOfPopularity Pooh and friends]] |
| 544 | * Animatronics have always had a fame of being the kings of UncannyValley for many adults and kids alike. There is nothing more representative of that than the Fazebear Gang. Originally raised to godhood by Uncle Howee, who believed the fun, lovable Freddy would bring joy to the Pantheon. All went well for a while, until [[Pantheon/{{Narrative}} Nagisa Momoe's]] birthday party, when one of the animatronics attempted to bite Mami Tomoe's head off. She luckily managed to escape: dislocating the creature's jaw with her enhanced strength and blowing a few holes in it with her muskets before the rest of the gods managed to drag it down. The machines were abandoned in a distant corner of the Treasury and forgotten until Shinji woke everyone up screaming as Bonnie tried to drag him into a Freddy costume. Nowadays, unfortunate gods are assigned to keep an eye on Freddy and friends to make sure they don't get into trouble. |
| 545 | * A strange side effect of Freddy's presence seems to be that the electricity in that area seems to drain quickly, as if it is cut off from the Yamato Reactor. And in their "shrine", when the Toys and Balloon Boy are active, the place changes to a door-less pizzeria. |
| 546 | * A few gods of the House of Technology are studying the animatronics to find out exactly what makes them so homicidal. Results are inconclusive. |
| 547 | ** Someone eventually hit upon the idea to try and reprogram the animatronics and tested it on [[EnsembleDarkhorse Foxy]]. The results were…[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nasHhrVtJ4s varied.]] |
| 548 | ** Then they tried it on the other ones. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zKEsO90dBsU This was the result]]. |
| 549 | * When they're not bugging out from the reprogramming, the task of guarding Freddy Fazbear and rest of the animatronics has been set up as a punishment by the Court of the Gods. Where they have promised to end the punishment if they survive a certain amount of days without dying or messing with the animatronics, chances are, something bad will happen to them, even if they have recovered with horrible scars. In reference to the minimum length of the sentence, gods have begun calling this punishment "Five Nights at Freddy's". |
| 550 | ** Whenever this punishment is carried out, some will without fail say [[MemeticMutation "Are you ready 4 Freddy?"]] |
| 551 | * A new animatronic has been noticed among the Fazbear gang: a strange marionette-like creature. Uncle Howee has gone on record saying he had nothing to do with this one; nobody knows how or when it ascended, or even what it is. According to certain gods, they're hesitant even to call it [[EldritchAbomination an animatronic.]] [[spoiler:Even Freddy doesn't seem to like it, and he wasn't pleased when it finally ascended to its own house]]. |
| 552 | * Due to a temporal paradox resulting from [[spoiler:sequels actually being prequels]], all of the above had already transpired before [[Pantheon/{{Gameplay}} Mike Schmidt]] ascended to the Pantheon. Mike currently trains and mentors those unfortunate souls tasked with guarding Freddy, and together with his good friend [[Pantheon/HomesAndUrbanEstablishments Larry Daley]], he is absolutely ''[[{{Determinator}} determined]]'' to see to it that Freddy's horror is never unleashed upon the Pantheon at large. |
| 553 | * Strangely though, Freddy and the gang don't seem to be antagonistic around most of the child gods. If anything, they seem almost happy to be around them usually. Of course, any adult they see is treated with a DeathGlare at the very best and at worst… [[AndIMustScream well…]] |
| 554 | ** This is the main reason that Freddy and [[spoiler:The Marionette]] don't get along. [[spoiler:Freddy hasn't forgiven it for [[KnightTemplar giving the other animatronics life]] [[AndIMustScream with the souls of murdered children]]. He believes the adults should be punished, but not if children suffer in the process]]. As such, [[spoiler:when the Marionette isn't tampering with his programming]], he's often helping to make sure it doesn't do anything to any more children. [[spoiler:Even when the Marionette finally allowed them to rest in peace, Freddy still hasn't [[ForgivenButNotForgotten forgotten]]]]. |
| 555 | * When [[Pantheon/{{Mentalism}} Mordecai and Rigby]] came here on their way to the House of Gaming, they found Freddy, and they ran off, thinking that he was the leader of the Capicola Gang. Funnily enough, he found out that their leader [[HilariousInHindsight was remarkably similar to him]], and he took on the guise to mess with them. |
| 556 | * When [[Pantheon/{{Zombies}} Springtrap]] ascended, to the surprise of many gods, Freddy and his heralds actually looked ''[[OhCrap horrified]]''. Then again, [[spoiler:seeing the very [[SerialKiller man]] who killed them in life and now here, [[KarmicTransformation just like them]]]], would do that to anyone. As such, Freddy will willingly [[EnemyMine join forces]] with both Mike and [[spoiler:The Marionette]] to ensure that Springtrap remains locked inside his temple no matter what, in order to [[spoiler:keep more children from ending up like them]]. |
| 557 | * Legend has it that once in a blue moon, when there's no one in the pizzeria, Freddy and his cohorts go on a [[VideoGame/FiveNightsAtFuckboys night of debauchery]]. On those particular nights, passersby have reported seeing hostile party hats and hearing much clearer vocalizations than normal. This is one of the few times the Puppet has an amicable experience with Freddy. No one knows if this phenomena is true or not except for [[Pantheon/{{Anger}} Cranky Kong]], whose descriptions should be taken with a grain of salt. |
| 558 | * While Freddy is happy to be here and also his friends, he feels bad that they aren't ascended and can't roam around freely like him. That's why he suggested that Bonnie, Chica, and Foxy should ascend with them sharing his trope, which was approved. This made a lot of deities fear him much more, as this means he got his friends ascended and can now tag along with him whenever they want to. |
| 559 | * For a short while, the animatronics haven't been seen during the "Five Nights at Freddy's" sessions. That was because they were on the hunt for an egg named [[VideoGame/OneNightAtFlumptys Flumpty Bumpty]], who had (aside from kidnapping people for his game) stolen Freddy's and Bonnie's head. He eventually found him (and the head) as Flumpty was just finished returning Mike Schmidt to the Pantheon, and the fracas that ensued alerted the rest of the Gods. The Court eventually evicted Flumpty from the Pantheon, although the kidnappings haven't stopped; he's just avoided Mike and the Fazbear gang. |
| 560 | ** They became even more peeved that he managed to get his own temple due to his immunity to the plot. However, they are interested in trying to get Flumpty to steal Springtrap's face to put him out of commission for a bit. |
| 561 | * Freddy and his crew get along ''swimmingly'' with [[Pantheon/UndeadAndPhasmata Bloody Marie]], both for the fact that she's still technically a child, but also because she sympathizes with [[spoiler:the traumatic pasts of the spirits within them]]. [[{{Necromancy}} She]] also keeps Springtrap at bay at all times for them, and as such is often seen among their number during the day ''and'' night keeping tabs on them for Mike. |
| 562 | * In a sudden burst, Freddy managed to completely storm Mike's stronghold... only to shove him out and close all of the doors to protect ''himself'', having come across one of the few things he [[HorrifyingTheHorror truly fears]]; the [[Pantheon/RangedWeapons Pyro]]. This is because [[https://youtu.be/3z5tQH7y508 he was the night guard one time that when they tried to attack him, it ended horribly as he ended up fighting them back with a match, without HIM EVEN KNOWING IT.]] When they saw him in the Pantheon, they weren't pleased and try their best to stay away from him since. |
| 563 | * Gets along decently enough with Naughty Bear for not only being bears that are capable of scaring people amongst the Pantheon, but also for their plans involving revenge, and are willing to team up to ensure that Springtrap doesn't hurt any children. |
| 564 | * They encounter Glitchy's Mario three times...and let's just say that it was a very horrible encounter for the animatronics. |
| 565 | * Dipper and Mabel feared them as the animatronics remind them of .Giffany, although the animatronics don't mind them as they are technically children. Though, this made them become bitter enemies with the video game characters as she reminds them of Springtrap. |
| 566 | * Due to the fact that they perform for, love and ''are'' children, it is unsurprising that they will hate the [[Pantheon/FamilyAndRelatives Child Abuse Supporters]]. |
| 567 | * Back when the place was simply Freddy Fazbear's temple, Rainbow Dash once wrecked the sign while on a delivery for a friend. As a result, she had to [[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/10656238/1/Rainbow-Dash-s-Five-Nights-at-Freddy-s spend five nights here]], despite protests and appeals from her friends and [[Pantheon/GameDesign Mike Schmidt]]. Notable details of her shift there include having shock batons, and Foxy befriending her for some reason. |
| 568 | * Hate Aiden Pearce [[https://youtu.be/EPrkB4NPufY&src_vid=lLQ7guk473c: because during his one shift at their establishment, he tampered with the animatronics using his hacking skills]] |
| 569 | * Opposed by Pooh and his friends because of their hostile killing sprees towards night guards and the fact that they are based on animals makes it worse to them. |
| 570 | * Were very satisfied to learn about Springtrap's permanent destruction in the mortal plane, and was grudgingly impressed to learn about the role that the Marionette played his defeat. They had increased cooperation with Mike and the Marionette to prevent Springtrap from taking out his anger on the child gods of the Pantheon, but unlike the Marionette, they have NOT dropped their grudge against Mike completely. |
| 571 | * Tetsuo seems to get [[https://youtu.be/D9tmnABamh4 triggered]] whenever he sees Freddy and Bonnie, and uses his powers to disassemble them on sight. Luckily, Chica and Foxy are often nearby to rebuild. |

| 589 | * It is something of a rare occurance to witness machines having feelings towards each other. This was the case with WALL•E and EVE, as a relationship between them grew during their journey. |
| 590 | * The entire Pantheon has unanimously agreed that any attempt to usurp, attack, or demean WALL•E and EVE's positions in the Pantheon will result in a [[FateWorseThanDeath horrible, HORRIBLE demise.]] Most likely by EVE. |
| 591 | ** This is also the reason why many, including the two, are wary about Ato-ko Shirogane interfering with them. So far, she has decided not to get involved with the two, but measures are in place in case anything happens. |

| 593 | * The two sometimes "dance" across the Pantheon, with many aspiring lovers take as a sign of eternal love and devotion to one another. They can sometimes be listening to some old "Hello Dolly!" videos and singing to the song "Put on your Sunday Clothes". |
| 594 | * WALL•E is known to be very curious with many of the items in the Pantheon and sometimes just wanders about picking up little knick-knacks and such. Many of the gods don't mind, and even if they did, EVE is close by with her gun ready. |
| 595 | * The two were surprised to hear that EVE [[Creator/MieSonozaki had some similarities when talking in Japanese]] with some of the other deities. While friendly with most of them, the one they have issues with is Sora Shuin'in as the latter's attempts at acting cute for his own gain is off-putting to them. |
| 596 | * The two naturally weren't happy to hear that there are plenty of robots in the Pantheon that are far less kind than the ones from their world, such as Omega. |
| 597 | ** However, the two seem to be in good company with Haro as its behavior reminds them of their own robot companions from their journey. |

| 616 | * Seeks to help: Those who has been victims of racism. |
| 617 | * An omnic monk from the shambali monastery, Terkhartha Zenyatta wanders the world in order to help out the people in need of him. He originally disagreed with the view of his fellow brothers and sisters and believed that in order to repair the bonds between humans and omnics, one must do it through interpersonal connection and engagement. And so Zenyatta left the monastery in order to practise on his word. |
| 618 | * Genji was happy to he see his master ascend, and so was Zenyatta. The cyborg ninja took upon himself to show the in and outs of the pantheon to Zenyatta. The monk wonders if the Pantheon is tied with the Iris somehow. |
| 619 | ** He was also happy to personally meet the woman who saves Genji's life. He personally went to thank her for saving Genji, but was not expecting that Angela would also thank him for helping Genji be a better person. |
| 620 | ** Has also been trying to get him and [[Pantheon/RangedWeapons Hanzo]] to reconcile, but hasn't made much success. |
| 621 | * Zenyatta wanders the pantheon in search of those who would need help with their inner demons, as Zenyatta is able to perceive the issues that one holds within. [[ThePowerOfFriendship He believes that harmony can fix everything]], that's why his orb of harmony is able to heal those who bond with him. The House of Pantheon/HealthAndDiseases has been trying to figure out the reason behind his healing orbs but his only explanation is that the Iris is what allows him to do this. |
| 622 | * He also seeks to help those who have been victims of racism or have felt like outcasts. Numerous deities have been seen expending time meditating with Zenyatta and talking about their deepest troubles. For someone who is only 20[[note]]since self-identity or since creation is yet to be determined[[/note]], he has been said to be very wise. |
| 623 | * Even though Zenyatta is a peaceful robots, [[MartialPacifist he has shown that he will fight back if the situation calls for]]. If you do get on his bad side, he will tag you with his Orb of Discord, which will increase the damage they take. He has been noted to being a very efficient tank buster. |
| 624 | * Ultron has been very vocal about how stupid is Zenyatta's way of thinking is and considers his idea of peace between humans and omnics useless and would prefer that the omnics of his world would rebel and rule over the humans. It got worse when Ultron dared to mention Widowmaker's assassination on Mondatta but surprisingly, Zenyatta was able to remain calm and simply told him that they both may not agree on how they see things in the world. |
| 625 | * He got to meet a few monks in his travels around the Pantheon. He reminds Aang of a fellow airbender if they were a robot and Zenyatta has also been seen meditating with Kharazim from time to time. |
| 626 | * [[http://vignette3.wikia.nocookie.net/overwatch/images/b/b9/Zenyatta_ra.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20160210013646 Has once styled himself as the Egyptian God of the Sun Ra]], which has perplexed the deity himself. However, Ra has no problem with Zenyatta at all, even allowing him to be one of his followers if he ever wishes to (Although Zenyatta politely turned him down on his offer). |
| 627 | * [[LiteralMinded Often takes jokes and phrases literally]], leading to him understanding thinks [[ComicallyMissingThePoint the wrong way]]. |
| 628 | * Has been confused for a robotic genie once, given how he hovers wherever he goes. This has made him develop a strange friendship with the genies in the pantheon. |
| 629 | * Once visited the house of music for open mic night. Everyone expected him to say some religious stuff, but oh boy were they proven wrong. One performance of ''Ultimate'' by Denzel Curry later, and the crowd was going wild. |
| 630 | * He was quite happy to learn of the ascension of a Human and Robot couple called Kosmo and Nova, seeing them as a pinnacle of peace between human and machine. He hopes to one day be able to take them to his universe to show the people there what can occur between peace and love with humans and robots. |

| 652 | * Conflicting opinions: [[Pantheon/AfterlifeEntities The Immortal God-Emperor]] [[Pantheon/ValuesAndEthics Of Mankind]] |
| 653 | * Pities and pitied by: [[Pantheon/{{Siblings}} Carl Clover]] |
| 654 | * The idea of a robot girlfriend [[PowerPerversionPotential sounds like it can lead into some, interesting times to say the least]], but however there is always the chance of it leading to one cute romance; hence, Kosmo and Nova. Kosmo was [[TheKlutz a clumsy beginner space commander]] whom just happened to run into Nova after she escaped the lab of Dr. Eros, a evil dinosaur, and was used as a shield by her to help her get away with him driving the getaway ship. Kosmo immediately [[LoveAtFirstSight fell in love with her.]] While it did take some time, Nova did actually begin to return to feelings for him...just in time for Dr. Eros to track her down and blow up the ship they were on, [[LiterallyShatteredLives causing Nova's body parts to scatter the universe.]] Due to Kosmo taking on the role of the {{Determinator}}, even with his clumsy style, [[spoiler:he managed to not only fully repair her, but also stopped Dr. Eros plan of launching a robot attack on the galaxy.]] Because of this dedication for a robot he was in love with, the two were chosen to ascend. |
| 655 | ** However, their trip up here wasn't without problem. Some less kinder deities, namely Jinx, spot their ship and saw it as a moving target for them to shoot at, and sent a welcome present to them that she calls the ''Super Mega Death Rocket!'' As expected, it exploded on contact, and while Kosmo managed to escape unharmed from the explosion, [[LiterallyShatteredLives Nova was once again shattered and destroyed across the Pantheon.]] While this was enough time for Peacock, Vi and Big Band to catch up with her and arrest her, Kosmo was brought to the verge of tears, but regardless, he picked himself back up and prepared to hunt for her pieces again... |
| 656 | *** Or at least, that's what he ''would've'' done had it not been for the Pantheon allowing the revival of not only humans, but robots, and thus, Nova was able to be repaired, looking right as rain. Needless to say, realizing that he doesn't need to keep tracking down and rebuilding her here, [[TearsOfJoy Kosmo was crying with delight at such a discovery while hugging Nova,]] before inquiring a nearby deity about who had the power to revive her. After pointing him towards the house of Pantheon/{{Gaming}}, he met up with Lenneth Valkyrie to properly thank her. [[DudeWheresMyRespect As her revivals and resets of the Pantheon eventually proved to become standard use within the Pantheon,]] she was flattered to actually be respected like this, and Kosmo has made a habit of going by Lenneth's temple to at least drop off a "Thank You" card for her whenever she restore Nova. |
| 657 | * Obviously, they tend to stay weary of those who have no problem with destroying or corrupting robots. Good news, they managed to get a restraining order on Junkrat, Roadhog and Jinx, especially the latter after their original encounter. Bad news, those three really don't care much about that restraining order, especially with them within a house they really would like to see blow up. Reasons like this was why they got another temple within the subhouse Of Pantheon/CouplesRelationships, as the three really don't give a care about what goes on in there, and don't feel like going out of their way just to catch them. They have became great friends with WALL-E and EVE based on their status of showing that robots can love. Also helps that they also are no strangers to space travel. |
| 658 | ** Other spacefarers they encountered were Wander and Sylvia, whom were greatly impressed with the lengths that Kosmo went to save his robotic girlfriend. [[spoiler:Meanwhile, Sylvia and Nova found common ground on not only liking the excitement of fighting, with Nova managing to raze Dr. Eros facility to the ground before escaping right after he crafted her, but also for having similar fugitive pasts, with Sylvia being a cold hearted bounty hunter and with Nova being the bounty. Despite the fact [[AngstWhatAngst Nova is open to the idea of people knowing of her wanted status to the point she proudly hung up wanted posters in her temple]], they are rather close friends and can be brushing up on their fighting styles in the house of Pantheon/UnorthodoxCombat.]] They also had a run in with Ratchet and Clank, whom were equally impressed at the lengths Kosmo went through. They can be seen talking about their space adventures with each other from time to time. |
| 659 | * Obviously, the Immortal God-Emperor Of Mankind is VERY conflicted about these two, seeing mainly because he doesn't know whenever to say that Nova should be thankful for a human this loving, or to say that Kosmo is just wasting time with her. Sure he may have a speech communicator, but that doesn't count since it's non-sentient. |

| 661 | * Dhuum has it out for them, [[spoiler: seeing that not only has Nova cheated death by getting repaired after her original defeat, but Kosmo also [[BackFromTheDead got revived thanks to a kind skeleton magician helping him craft a spell to revive him.]]]] However, he does acknowledge WHY Kosmo went through all the trouble, and thus, settled on killing them at once so they don't have to bare the loss of each other. Coming from Dhuum, this is probably one of the nicer things he's willing to do. |
| 662 | * Kosmo was requested by Captain Olimar, [[TheGreatRepair whom also once dealt with having to collect multiple metallic pieces, but for his ship to escape a planet]], for assistance finding his last 4 ship parts. Having been told of the [[Pantheon/{{Thieves}} Murkrow]] den Olimar had trouble with, Kosmo decided to sneak over there while the Murkrows were out to try and get corn from [[Pantheon/{{Cultures}} The Farmer]], Kosmo looked inside and did indeed find the remaining pieces to Olimar's ship. Unfortunately, before he could do anything about getting them out, the Murkrows came back, angry to see him them. However, upon seeing that he was interested in the ship parts, and that their latest raid failed once more thanks to [[Pantheon/LivingObjects Fiddlesticks]], they decided to settle on a trade of 6 bags of fresh corn for the parts. |
| 663 | ** Kosmo, not having enough money at the time, quickly reported back to Olimar and told them of the deal. Fortunately, [[ChekhovsArmoury Olimar has been sending various treasures he encountered to his home planet for money and was more than willing to pay for it.]] Using the money and trading system the Pantheon had, Kosmo gained enough funds to buy the corn legally off the farmer and trade it with the Murkrows for the ship parts. Olimar is grateful for Kosmo helping him out, and was able to finally fully repair his ship and travel back to his home planet. He also took a teleporter some gods crafted for him that was connected to his two temples so he can traverse to and from the Pantheon without fear of his ship crashing and stranding him. |
| 664 | * After a run in with Carl Clover trying to buy some robotic parts, Kosmo and Nova found out about his robotic sister, Ada, [[spoiler:[[LiterallyShatteredLives and how she was destroyed after the latest BlazBlue game.]] [[TookALevelInJerkass As crass and crude he was by the end of his adventure and towards them when he first met them,]] he was certainly interested and impressed by the lengths Kosmo went to in order to save his own robotic companion.]] As such, they are one of the few people he will at least try and curb his jerkish tendencies for, especially after they offered to help him out repairing her. He's thinking about giving them a list of parts he's gonna need if he ever figures out what he precisely needs to see how serious they are about helping him. Helps that they grew to dislike and find Relius Clover repulsive, having Carl view them more favorably. |
| 665 | * For some reason, deities keep running up to Kosmo and ask him for outlandish requests, ranging from spawning rocket launchers and other weaponry out of thin out to getting challenged by [[Pantheon/BodySizes Ed]] to [[WesternAnimation/EdEddNEddy sprout the wings of a bat and stomp like a zombie while whistling 'Row, Row, Row your Boat" through a carwash]]. He eventually discovered that [[{{Expy}} they actually thought he was another deity called Maxwell]] due to similar looks. He actually met up with Maxwell, who was helping out Ed with just that desire, and became decent enough friends with him. Helps that Maxwell is willing to give Nova weapons to help defend herself in the Pantheon. Still, it's not uncommon for deities to keep confusing Kosmo with Maxwell. |
| 666 | ** They also found a great appreciation with Doraemon, not only for being a kind and nice robot, [[https://youtu.be/8RnY3rEleew but also because Kosmo and Nova have their fair share of odd items that they call "memories",]] which only reinforced their bond with each other and cemented their position. |
| 667 | * Despite the fact that Alphys continuously insists she's not willing to cause trouble, Kosmo and Nova can't help but still feel anxious around her, since the BigBad of their universe was also a scientist dinosaur called Dr. Eros. [[spoiler:Their opinion of her only soured when they found out [[GoneHorriblyWrong about her disastrous test subjects from her lab.]] To her credit though, she didn't actively tried to harm the test subjects that turned into the Amalgamates, and eventually confessed, but it still rubs them the wrong way.]] |
| 668 | ** They also tend to not stay around much whenever Peacock and Vi show up to try and help out, namely because [[BloodKnight they can only barely stop once they get started fighting,]] leading to collateral damage that some other chaotic deities could only dream about. They are much more appreciative of Big Band with his less violent approaches. Meanwhile, Big Band admitted that even when he came from, he wouldn't suspect a human and a robot to fall in love with each other. |
| 669 | --> '''Big Band''': What do you know? [[SubvertedCatchPhrase I guess the world isn't full of obvious things after all...]] |
| 670 | * Nova is rather popular with other robot deities, namely Bastion and Zenyatta, whom also GrewBeyondTheirProgramming and became peace loving robots. They also warned her of other deities that would like to hack her or destroy her, namely the ascended Talon members, Reaper, Widowmaker and Sombra. She's also keeping a watchful eye out for Love Machine and XANA, but thankfully, they made it no secret that they have bigger fish to fry (or in this case, more powerful robots to deal with). |
| 671 | ** However, XANA did actually try to cause trouble for them once after he got reminded of a certain Jeremie Belpois and a supposed AI called Aelita, and sent some of his mooks their way as a way of relieving stress. Due to being a expert gunslinger, Nova managed to hold off his mooks for long enough before XANA's in universe enemies came in to deal with them for Kosmo and Nova. XANA is currently still interested in them, but realizes that the popularity they gained would keep have any more sequential attack he sends their way get intercepted and defeated quickly. As such, he's currently still thinking of what to do next with them. |
| 672 | * [[ShoutOut Due to Kosmo and Nova watching a tape with a creepy girl coming out of a well,]] the two are beyond surprised to see that Sadako Yamamura actually not only exists, but are more than willing to try and off them, given that they watched a tape that an {{Expy}} of hers starred in, which is good enough for her to try and kill. Thankfully, they met another ghost girl by the name of [[Pantheon/PhysicalAppearance Erma]] whom is willing to call off Sadako, even using force if she has to. For now, Sadako has taken the hint, and Kosmo and Nova are quite thankful for her helping them. |
| 673 | ** Kosmo was frozen when shock when he ended up right in front of the Slenderman, [[https://youtu.be/D-auGznepRA experiencing a run in with someone who looked like him before.]] Thankfully, for some reason, [[MemeticMutation he was able to get him to leave him alone with a $20 bill.]] |
| 674 | * The Grand Ultimate Alliance Of Machines is...befuddled by them. On the one hand, they really don't care about machine supremacy, their number one rule, but on the other hand, they find the idea of a human dating a machine, rather ideal for their dream world. As such, the Council Members, as suggested by [[Pantheon/CharacterArchetypes Roboking]], to just keep a watchful eye on them to see how dedicated Kosmo is to Nova. |
| 675 | * They were actually quite surprised to find a ally in XJ-9 right within their own subtemple [[spoiler: with Kosmo getting reminded of the robots whom helped him get Nova's heart back from Dr. Eros.]] Jenny is also equally shocked with delight at the idea of a {{fembot}} and a human dating, given that she tried to date several humans within her own universe, given the whole teenage robot thing and all that. It's not uncommon to find Nova and Jenny trading tips and tricks about their own robot bodies. |

| 693 | ** [[FriendlyEnemy Friendly enemies]] with: [[Pantheon/MonsterTypes The Brainspawn]], oddly enough |
| 694 | * Annoys: Most deities, but notably Bender, the House of Pantheon/JoyAndHappiness (frustrates in Wander and Pinkie Pie's case), much of the House of Pantheon/{{Knowledge}}, [[Pantheon/{{Accessories}} Metron]] |
| 695 | * Annoyed by: Pretty much everything, particularly the House of Joy and Happiness, [[Pantheon/TimePlacement Porky Minch]], [[Pantheon/IntellectualArchetypes Fighter McWarrior]], [[Pantheon/ParadoxesAndTimeLoops Philip J Fry]], Doraemon, Data |
| 696 | * Feared by: Mind readers and empaths like [[Pantheon/{{Mentalities}} Satori Komeiji, Haruka Kotoura]] |
| 697 | * The Sirius Cybernetics Corporation are a major manufacturer of androids, "your plastic pal who's fun to be with". They design Genuine People Personalities, personality chips for just about anything. Even doors will be happy opening and closing for people. Marvin the Paranoid Android was a prototype, and it shows. With a brain the size of a planet he feels severely underutilized and is in a perpetual state of sulk and cynicism. He'll follow orders, but he just won't like it and tell you so. |
| 698 | * Was once in the pantheon under the position of TimeAbyss, but Porky later took it. As much as it's possible, he's relieved since Marvin doesn't like being reminded he is much older than the universe due to TheSlowPath. Bender considers him a total bore and doesn't get why he's complaining since he's content with mundane activities like his head being buried for over a millennium or stealing historical treasures then waiting centuries to return and do the same thing again. Marvin scoffs at this as narcissism given the latter saw hundreds of other Benders waiting alongside him. |
| 699 | * As far as he's considered Porky Minch is a childish tosser, though gets why living for so long [[SanitySlippage caused him to go mad]]. He can also perfectly understand why [[Pantheon/FormsOfMedia Bob and George]] hate time travel, [[PetTheDog and does show some pity for the chaos of it all]]. Otherwise he's neutral on them beyond his usual DeadpanSnarker feelings. Marvin doesn't care much for Data, mainly out of frustrated jealousy that he can turn his personality chip on and off when having serious trouble dealing with the emotional impact of certain situations. |
| 700 | * About the only beings Marvin unironically likes is Despair of the Endless. The former is because she is the literal form of despair and depression, and thus the only being he completely relates to. Nurgle seems fascinated by the nadir of despair that is Marvin, though being a machine makes [[BodyHorror Nurgle's "gifts"]] useless. Amazingly, Marvin even makes those who serve under Papa Nurgle stuck in a malaise. |
| 701 | * While he's a lot snarkier and grumpy, he does have friends [[VitriolicBestBuds of]] [[WithFriendsLikeThese sorts]]. Besides Arthur Dent, Marvin seems to get along with the ever grumpy Squidward and understands his annoyance and frustration. Though [[EveryoneHasStandards even Squidward thinks he can be a killjoy]]. He seems to get along with Azmuth and Lisa; the former shares his cynicism, the latter the feeling of isolation that comes with intelligence. Again, they still feel he's a killjoy, but he's as much a friend with them as he is with Arthur Dent. He also likes conversing with Hermaeus Mora, which just goes to show how intelligent he really is when he puts effort into it. |
| 702 | * The House of Joy and Happiness considers Marvin a pain, and the Pantheon/GrandUnitedAllianceOfGood really wants to cheer him up so he can use the full potential of his planet-sized brain. It's gone exactly nowhere. Emmet is confident he can convince Marvin that everything is awesome, and won't stop until he does. Wander and Pinkie Pie have been trying as well, however it's gotten to the point that [[OOCIsSeriousBusiness Pinkie got sick of hosting a party for Marvin]]. |
| 703 | * Easy to annoy and frustrate, but he is often bothered by chipper robots and idiocy. On the former, he is one of few who gets annoyed by Doraemon. Most think it's out of jealously, being a FlawedPrototype for the RobotBuddy archetype. On the latter, he is continually frustrated by Fighter [=McWarrior=] and his consistent ability to defy logic and reasoning [[AchievementsInIgnorance by sheer idiocy]]. Even his planet-sized brain can't figure it out, or maybe just doesn't want to. People have argued he doesn't have a place to talk because Literature/TheHitchhikersGuideToTheGalaxyTrilogy [[ItRunsOnNonsensoleum runs on nonsensoleum]]. |
| 704 | * ''[[AMindIsATerribleThingToRead Do not try to read Marvin's mind]]''. It usually brings people to suicide. Horrifyingly, AM was able to get past this barrier and hack into the android, hoping to upgrade to his planet-sized brain; AM was so filled with loathing and frustration [[InsanityImmunity it could withstand Marvin's emotions]]. Fortunately Marvin had a venue for his intelligence and not only forced AM back, but reprogrammed AM with a heightened sense of remorse and empathy. [[MindRape This utterly broke AM]] who remained utterly unrepsonsive until the Pantheon/GrandUnitedAllianceOfEvil could restore the psychopathic A.I to its original setting. |
| 705 | * [[Pantheon/CrueltyAndSadism Junko Enoshima]] was fascinated by his overwhelming despair and wished to spread it, peeking into his mind. [[TooKinkyToTorture Because of her despair fetish]], she kept her mind and sanity([[AxCrazy whatever was there, at least]]). However she soon became ''bored'' and found [[TheEeyore his flavor]] [[InsufferableGenius of despair]] to be tedious and non-enjoyable. This proved as amusing as it was [[CatharsisFactor oddly cathartic]], giving hope that the Pantheon/GrandUnitedAllianceOfGood might finally bypass her masochism and give her well-deserved karma in her feeling loss and despair she ''doesn't'' enjoy. Marvin simply reacted to this by calling Junko a pervert. |
| 706 | * Despite not even having a soul to steal(or at least one living), the sheer melancholy of Marvin intrigues the Dementors, along with the idea of spreading the despair he has on others. They just haven't figured out, and because he's already down in the dumps(again, if an android even can be affected) he only finds them as annoying. More seriously the Cybermen want to use Marvin's despair to MindRape people into willingly giving up their emotions via cyber-conversion. This backfired as linking to his mind resulted in such despair from Marvin that it overworked their emotional inhibitors, leaving them reeling and going insane. They had to shut off the part of their HiveMind connected to Marvin to prevent permanent damage to the collective. |
| 707 | * One of few to annoy Excalibur back, as much as he is deeply annoyed by Excalibur. Seeing Excalibur make the (ﺧ益ﺨ) face after hearing Marvin's depressive moaning [[CatharsisFactor satisfied many]], though Marvin certainly didn't enjoy it, even by Marvin standards. |
| 708 | * The GUAM, under [[Pantheon/TechnologicalExperts Brainiac's]] orders, wants to try and cure Marvin's depression so they can access the planet-sized brain and his immense intellect. Nerose Satanel considers this brain to hold enormous potential for his own ambitions, and with his ability to force happiness on others may be the one to finally utilize said potential. And the Admins consider the brain a potent addition to their archive. The SCP Foundation's interest is comparatively modest; they want to contain that knowledge to prevent abuse, help with their own methods of containment, and prevent it from being used to find cognitohazards. He knows the Ultimate Question exists in the minds of humans due to the Earth calculating it, and they fear the possibility that answering the Question would destroy the universe and replace it with something stranger. |
| 709 | * Seekers of knowledge wish to unlock Marvin's full potential. Some like Metron gave up in frustration due to how depression Marvin was. Some like Krona tried unlocking it, but soon started attacking him in rage. The Brainspawn coveted it, however as all other thoughts are unpleasant and Marvin has a ''lot'' on his mind they used their stupefaction ray so they could just manually analyze his massive brain. Thing is, Marvin is already so intelligent all their stupefaction did was send him from "immensely intelligent" to "regular genius level". Though missing his vast mind and recognizing the danger the Brainspawn posed, this "downgraded" Marvin was happy for the first time in comparative ignorance, and was annoyed when Fry helped restore his true intelligence. |
| 710 | * There has been only one time Marvin was genuinely joyful and happy; learning God's last message to His creation; [[spoiler:"We apologize for the inconvenience". Marvin then died]]. Many wonder why this is. |

| 728 | * Intrigued by: [[Pantheon/TechnologicalExperts Hackerman]] |
| 729 | * Opposes: [[Pantheon/ScientistsAndGeniuses Plankton]] |
| 730 | * Born the son of a civil servant, Alan Turing was a star student who made a lot of breakthroughs after his school years such as the Turing Machine that helped the foundation of computation and computability. Later on, he made a major contribution in World War II thanks to his cryptology skills that helped the Allied Forces discovering the secret messages of the Germans. After the war, he joined the National Physical Laboratory, made discoveries to modern cognitive science, and a huge foundation in what is now known by the world as the Artificial Intelligence. The discovery of his homosexuality caused him to be arrested and unable to work on his projects. He is then discovered dead by injecting himself with cyanide poisoning. |
| 731 | * The Court of Gods have decided to ascend Alan Turing thanks to a [[Film/TheImitationGame movie that gave him more exposure to the public]], been officially pardoned by the British royal family, and having a law named after him where all homosexual people from the past years have been pardoned. After getting the approval from the general public, his ascension has been commenced. |
| 732 | ** During his first days of the Pantheon, he is overwhelmed by the developing technology that he has seen in the Pantheon, already filling his brain with all the knowledge he could get. While disappointed that some people still couldn’t accept people like him, he is proud of how humanity has progressed and people who don’t mind it are extremely accepting of him. He decided to make Joan Clarke as his herald since they have maintained their friendship despite the break-up. Upon meeting each other, [[BigDamnReunion they share an emotional reunion and have caught up with each other’s lives]]. Since then, they have been with each other’s lives, collaborating with each other on projects that they hope could benefit the Pantheon. |
| 733 | ** Regarding said movie, Turing received appreciative visits from the characters shared by [[Creator/BenedictCumberbatch his portrayer]], namely [[Pantheon/MagicAndSorcery Doctor Strange]] and [[Pantheon/AnalysisAndRecords Sherlock Holmes]], and [[Pantheon/CouplesRelationships Elizabeth Turner]] also appeared given [[Creator/KeiraKnightley her actress]] played Joan. |
| 734 | * Had an encounter with Jimmy Neutron after hearing that his clubhouse is his laboratory. While he is uncomfortable with his {{jerkass}} attitude and his [[LackOfEmpathy inability to understand other people’s feelings]], they do get along just fine and share comversations regarding their discoveries and theories. |
| 735 | * Becoming interested in the existence of [[{{Mon}} Digimon]] after hearing they’re creatures made out of data, he met two people that could fulfill the conversation known as Koushirou and Miyako. His talk with them made him interested in their evolution system and abilities and hearing how Digimon could harm others, he wants to find a peaceful solution to preserve their safety and already thinking of ways to find it. Other than Digimon talk, they also converse with each other regarding their love of computers and the existence of hacking. |
| 736 | * Thanks to Koushirou and Miyako, he became interested in hacking, hoping that he could apply his cryptologist skills to them. If there’s one hacker that made his mind boggled, it’s the Hackerman. His [[HollywoodHacking improbable hacking skills]] already makes Turing mind filled with questions and wanting to find an answer to them. Though the Hackerman doesn’t want to share, it doesn’t stop him from wanting to find an alternative way to accomplish his skill. |
| 737 | * [[InterspeciesFriendship Shares a really heartwarming relationship with The Machine]]. He and the AI love to hang out with each other thanks to their [[BirdsOfAFeather kindhearted attitude]] and having a respect and admiration for each other’s race complimenting each other. Turing has also [[SoProudOfYou constantly praised The Master for its developing human sentience since it actually proves his theory regarding that]], which made her proud of who she is becoming. |
| 738 | * Just because he admires AI since he is responsible for their existence, doesn’t mean he loves all of them. He is horrified of AM’s hatred of humanity and willingness to torture them in extreme ways and is outspoken of his closed-mindedness. He hates Big Brother’s approach of leading humanity and not giving them freedom. He is against [=GLaDOS=]’s killing humanity approach and how she also treats the Turrets. All in all, he doesn’t like how some of them took an evil approach than what he would have wanted. |
| 739 | * If there is one gay couple that Turing could personally relate to, it’s Jack Twist and Ennis del Mar. They all were born from the 20th century where their sexuality isn’t accepted and forced to be in a relationship with a woman. Turing and Joan took it themselves to talk about their experiences with the couple to make them feel better, who are suprised that the woman doesn’t hate him for lying to him. They became friends with Turing and Joan as a result and occassionally hang out with each other if they ever have the time. |
| 740 | * Became friends with Tony Stark and is also amused at his habit of how he names his AIs, whom he loves for their snarky, but approachable attitude. He is also interested at the inventor’s tech and asks him if he ever add any AIs at any of his Iron Man suits, which made Tony uncomfortable because he had an unsettling experience with it. |
| 741 | * He gets along with Dr. Light being a benevolent inventor who wants all robots and humans to coexist and took a liking to Mega Man and Roll, who likes the former for his heroic deeds and the latter for her hardworking attitude. He also gets along with Dr. Light’s friend, Dr. Cossack, whom he pities as he was forced to work for Dr. Wily because his daughter was kidnapped. As a result, he hates Dr. Wily and his use of robots to achieve his plans for world domination. |
| 742 | * One day, while he was accessing to one of the modern computers, he was hacked and thus, was unable to access his computer. This was solved after the GUAG White Hats discovered it was Sombra. After some interrogation, she explained that she’s doing it because she wanted to get access to the projects he and Joan are working on that she believes would be useful for her benefits. Since then, Turing has been opposing her, made worse by the fact she’s a global terrorist, and is planning to add more security regarding his personal projects to keep them from the wrong hands. |
| 743 | * While it’s not a really well-known fact that is associated with him, he is an avid runner so much so he tried out for the Olympics. This managed him to score a meeting with Sonic, who is a speedfreak who occassionally participates in the Olympics. He is impressed with his skill considering he’s a normal human, and asks him if he wants to participate in the new Olympics, which Turing politely declined since he had been busy with Joan, though they still remain friends after that. |
| 744 | * While he’s a hacker, Turing feels bad for Elliot’s life ever and could understand his depression since he became one when he was castrated by the government. During their first encounter, the first thing Turing did is to comfort him and exchanging conversations about the happier moments of their lives. Elliot appreciated the gesture and is impressed by Turing’s analytical mind and how he wants to learn hacking, they have since then become friends. |
| 745 | * Due to his sexuality, it’s no suprise that Turing hates the High Sparrow, treating homosexuality as a sin and is also sexist. The High Sparrow believes that Turing deserves the punishment that the government has given him and also insulted Joan for dating him even after she found out about his sexuality, which really pissed them off even more before they decided to never approach him again as they don’t want to give in to their anger. |
| 746 | * Is fascinated by Plankton and Karen’s marriage because one is a [[InterspeciesRomance sea creature and the other is an artificial robot who are married]]. Though, that doesn’t mean he doesn’t approve of Plankton’s envy and drive to steal the Secret Krabby Patty Formula. He is outspoken about Plankton’s approach and that his inventions could be an alternative solution for his career, but that doesn’t convince Plankton as he’s too focused on the formula to change plans. |
| 747 | * While the nature of their relationship is similar to that of Plankton and Karen, Kosmo and Nova are thankfully not evil. Turing is supportive of their relationship, and loves Kosmo’s determination to be with her side. Because of how fascinated he is, he occasionally ask questions about their love hoping that their story, even if it’s romantic, could inspire people to get along with other robots and AIs alike and the latter races to gain human sentience. The couple also took a liking to Turing, who don’t mind what he is doing for them and encourage him to do so. They also pity him for his tragic backstory, hoping that he could find happiness in the Pantheon. |
| 748 | * Doesn’t like Silico all that much. Sure, he felt bad for the destruction of his robots, but it’s a extremely petty reason for him to become a villain and knows that he could simply repair them back and ask the Powerpuff Girls for an apology. Silico, of course, doesn’t listen to Turing’s reasoning and insists that the Powerpuff Girls should know the consequences of their actions. |

| 764 | * Followers: the titular AI from ''VideoGame/AIWarFleetCommand'' |
| 765 | * Love Machine’s arrival in the Pantheon happened rather suddenly. Some of the gods found out that they couldn’t use their online accounts for some reason. Some dismissed it as a cruel attempt by Trollkaiger to mess with everyone. As more accounts began to be unusable, things got worse. It was quickly discovered that a virus got into the Pantheon and began to not only eat up the online avatars of those in the Pantheon, but also those in the mortal world. It then set up a time bomb that, when the countdown reaches zero, will drop a satellite onto a nuclear plant located in the mortal world. |
| 766 | ** The House of Gaming had to team up with the good-aligned members of the House of Technology and the Hacking Qunitet to enter Cyberspace and confront the thing. Kirito and Asuna entered it and discovered that a black mass made up of online avatars was running amok. After being told by the Houses of Technology and Gaming that it sees everything like a game, Kirito and Asuna treated it like the final boss of an RPG, prompting Love Machine to see them as RPG characters trying to beat it. Things were going smoothly for Kirito and Asuna until Love Machine did a backhanded trick that caused the two to have their HP drop to dangerously low levels. It wasn’t until a HeroicSecondWind that Kirito and Asuna got back on their feet and defeated Love Machine. |
| 767 | *** Unfortunately for GUAG, the battle still wasn’t over as Love Machine wasn’t done for and decided to redirect the satellite from the mortal world to GUAG Headquarters in retaliation. Kirito and Asuna had to find whatever was left of Love Machine and destroy it before things ended badly for GUAG. The Hacking Quintet was pushed to their limit due to Love Machine putting up increasingly difficult encryption passwords for them. Luckily for the Hacking Quintet, they were able to solve them and Kirito and Asuna destroyed Love Machine. |
| 768 | * Even though Love Machine was defeated initially, the GUAE managed to record the battle for research purposes. After looking at it and seeing what it is capable of doing, they decided that it would be a highly valuable weapon to use as part of their budding hacking faction. It took some time, but the scientific minds of GUAE managed to re-create Love Machine for nefarious purposes. For the time being, its movement is limited to that of Cyberspace. |
| 769 | * Since it ate up an online avatar in the form of a rabbit back in the mortal world, many rabbit deities including [[Pantheon/AnthropomorphicAnimals Bugs Bunny and Oswald the Lucky Rabbit]] are advised to stay away from it if they decide to go to Cyberspace again. |
| 770 | ** Also oppose by Mickey Mouse because his first avatar he stole was a mouse that had his trademark ears. |
| 771 | * The House of Pantheon/LoveAndAffection was not amused at the fact that a malevolent computer virus named Love Machine almost caused extensive damage to the Pantheon when it arrived. Some of them, even deities that are not normally associated with the house like [[Pantheon/MagicAndSorcery Usagi Tsukino]], claimed that [[{{Pun}} it gives love a bad name]]. Some of the dirtier-minded gods, however, have made jokes about its name. |
| 772 | * Since the Pantheon learned that Love Machine was originally intended to be used by the American government for something, several gods have given many American deities weird looks following that revelation. |
| 773 | * If there’s anyone in the Pantheon that hates Love Machine a lot, it’s Omnimon. Doesn’t help that Love Machine reminds Omnimon of [[Anime/DigimonTheMovie Diaboromon]]. |
| 774 | * Was able to hack the security cameras of the House of Pantheon/FightingAndCombat, recording all the deities fighting styles and incorporating into itself. |
| 775 | * Hates Karouko Hanasaki for the so reason of being a grandmother. This hatred comes from the fact he was defeated by one back in his own world. [[spoiler: Though, he got his revenge by disabling her heart monitor and making her family realize too late that her heart stopped]]. |
| 776 | * Ultron was able to help Love Machine infect one of Tony Stark's Armor suit. This enabled him to take control over all of his armor he had in the pantheon, including his Hulkbuster and attack the pantheon. Luckily, they were all destroyed. After this turn of events, Tony doubled his security system of his armors so this won't happen again. |
| 777 | * Ever the hijacker of robots and video game characters, he saw Roboking, in his own words, as "a little slice of Heaven". Needless to say, he managed to quickly work his way into an unsuspecting Roboking, [[GrandTheftMe succeeding in taking over his body.]] However, just as he was getting powered up, [[BigDamnHeroes the actual King appeared before him,]] rolling what appeared to be the Sun towards the possessed Roboking. [[ThereIsNoKillLikeOverkill After respawn after being rolled up into the Sun, shot into a blackhole, rolled up again and made into another Sun entirely,]] Love Machine [[{{Hypocrite}} has been calling out the King as a cheater and is demanding a fair match one day.]] Meanwhile Roboking is more cautious whenever he visits, not wanting to lose his body again. |
| 778 | * While he does feel like the idea of hijacking Nova's body sounds nice, he is currently dealing with too much hatred and attacks from other deities to care much for them, much to their relief. |
| 779 | * One of his attempts to steal data and become powerful in the Pantheon had been foiled by Hit somehow entering cyberspace with a combination of his Time Skip and some help from Kei Shirogane. Not only that, Hit was able to take advantage of some sort of lag exploit to attack Love Machine and release all of the stolen data to return back from whence it came. It turned out this was because Hit's friends from ''Pantheon/CowboyBebop'' had been missing one of their crew members, and Shiroe had discovered said crew member's registration avatar among Love Machine's stolen data and offered Hit the chance to work together to stop Love Machine. The AI is now plotting to target Shiroe as well as block Hit from entering cyberspace in order to ensure a repeat of this defeat doesn't happen again. |
