    Auriel 
Auriel, Goddess of the Preservation of Hope (Archangel of Hope)
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/auriel.jpg
  • Greater Goddess
  • Symbol: Al'maiesh, the Cord of Hope
  • Theme Song: Auriel's theme
  • Alignment: Lawful Good with moments of Neutral Good
  • Portfolio: The Heart of the Angiris Council, Using cords as Weapons, Hope Bringer, In the Hood, Lady of War, Reasonable Authority Figure, Only female Angel of the Angiris council,
  • Domains: Angels, Hope, Harmony, Mediation
  • Allies:
  • Enemies: Diablo, Azmodan, Gul'dan, Lord Jaraxxus, YHVH, Shinado, Kyubey, Tzeentch, Nurgle, The Joker, Big Brother, Monokuma and Junko Enoshima
  • Pities: Leoric
  • Auriel is the Archangel of Hope and the one being the world of Sanctuary that embodies all traits of Hope and Harmony. Ever since the birth and discovery of Humanity, Auriel has always been a big supporter of them and was one of the three that voted for their survival. Since then, she has dedicated herself to spread the word of Hope and combat any sign of despair.
  • Auriel was glad to know that Tyrael was already among the halls of the pantheon. What caught her off guard was how he gained his angelhood back, which he later explained that the pantheon allows him to switch between his angel and mortal forms.
  • While she herself is a huge supporter of Peace, that doesn't mean she is harmless. In fact, she is formidable fighter and she won't hesitate to strike down anyone who threatens the life of his brethen.
  • Being the Archangel of Hope, Auriel was immediately drawn towards the ranks of the GUAG and then gained a position in Kibou Go!. She is especially very close with the Dragon Aspect of Life Alexstrasza, who also believes in Hope and Harmony. She even came to the conclusion that the Angiris Council and the 5 Dragon Aspects of Azeroth were earily similar in a lot of ways.
    • Se was a little weirded out by The Guy, who claims he is also a bringer of Hope. Even then, Auriel doesn't mind how anyone decides to spreads their beliefs, so long as hope prevails.
    • Also really admires Madoka for everything that she did for the sake of everyone and as a result she has earned a special hatred towards Kyubey. Binding someone to a Soul Jar reminds her a lot of how the Prime and Lesser evils were sealed in her home and she is not happy that Madoka is bound to one.
  • She is not very happy that Tzeentch is the God of Hope in his realm. Manipulating hope for his own schemes is a huge no-no for her and bastardization for everything she represents.
  • Shinado completely despises everything that Auriel stands for. He believes that hope is a poison that only brings suffering to everyone and that she should be destroyed.
  • Of all the ascended beings of Sanctuary, she feels some pity for the Skeleton King and the fate that befell him and his brethen. Of course, that doesn't mean she is happy that Leoric now goes draining hope from whoever dares stand in his path.
    Auriel: Leoric has made a habit of draining hope from Creation. I used to take pity on his ill fate, but he is significantly increasing my workload
  • Thanks to Tyrael being a member of the House of Angels, Auriel got to meet archangel Michael himself. He has a lot of respect for him and he reminds her about her fellow archangel Malthael, although how he used to be before he became the Archangel of Death.
    • What actually made her consider that demons were still salvageable was meeting Killia, Adell and Usalia, who all are kind hearted despite being demons. Killia and Usalia are especially good when paired with her, given that their attacks are all based around hope.
  • Auriel was the second angel who found her way into the Nexus Battlefield. Thankfully Tyrael was there to teach her the in and outs, and she got to meet quite the colorful cast.
    • The mortal known as Tracer initially though that her fellow agent Mercy has entered the nexus when she saw Auriel, given that her angelic powers that allows her to revive her fallen allies. Now here in the pantheon, Auriel got around meeting Mercy herself after Tracer introduced her to her and Reinhardt. She has huge faith in the three, as they represent everything that humanity is capable of doing for good.
    • Besides the demons from sanctuary that run rampant in the nexus, she completely hates Gul'dan. She never thought there could be a single being more evil that the worst of the burning hells could offer. Obviously, Gul'dan looks forward to breaking her and her hope apart.
    • She once saved the life of Medivh in the Nexus and the Last Guardian of Tirisfal really owes her his life. He also has enlisted her help as he believes that the Burning Legion might have plans for the pantheon as well and, seeing as Gul'dan was around even before both of them were here, their arrival will be imminent.
  • "There is always hope"

    Emmet Brickowski 
Emmet Brickowski, God of LEGO and Seeing Everything As Awesome (The Special)
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/emmet_5.png
Rex Dangervest
  • Greater God, formerly Quasideity (also Greater God as Rex Dangervest)
  • Symbol: A LEGO double-decker couch, or the Piece of Resistancenote 
  • Theme Songs: "Everything is Awesome!" (Tween Dream remix)
  • Alignment: Neutral Good, Neutral Evil as Rex Dangervest
  • Portfolio: Being an Average Guy and having a very normal face, not being the chosen one and wanting to be special because of it, believing that everything is awesome, fools, balancing following LEGO instructions and creating his own ideas, Adorkable Idiot Heroes, amazing at creating strategies
  • Domains: Foolishness, Imagination, LEGO, Creativity
  • High Priest: Traveller's Tales
  • Heralds: Metalbeard, Vitruvius, and Benny the Space Guy
  • Allies: Wyldstyle (his girlfriend), Queen Watevra Wa'Nabi (his daughter), Uni-Kitty, Batman, Alice Liddell, all of the House of Craft and nearly every deity in the House of Friendship and Camaraderie (except the villainous ones), Sackboy, Steve, PaRappa, Maxwell, Fred Rogers, William Shakespeare, the Toa Nuva, Mata Nui, Wall-E and EVE, Fix-it Felix and pretty much every god that is part of a LEGO set (and that's a lot, mind you) - with a particular admiration for Star-Lord.
  • Complicated relationship: President Business
  • Enemies: Rex Dangervest (his alternate self), Evil-aligned gods in the Houses of Hatred and Rancor and Villainy
  • Fears: Dark Danny
  • Ascended after understanding that he could be special by believing in himself. Despite his size, he is now capable of creating pretty much anything with Lego to great effect.
    • His new role as God of LEGO means that he balances out those who follow the instructions (like he used to do) and those who build whatever they can with LEGO (which is the role of the Master Builder), sort of like balancing Order and Chaos.
  • Still is a bit embarrassed that his first creative idea was the double-decker couch ("So everybody can watch TV and be buddies!").
  • Amazed to see huge versions of Batman, Superman and Wonder Woman in the Pantheon. The heroes just kindly thank him for being a good fan of theirs.
  • Has made friends with Ted due to knowing what it is to be average. Has started to teach him on how to use his own imagination to create things.
  • Spends lots of time with what he calls the "Pantheon Master Builders" (Sackboy, Steve? and Maxwell) in regards to their creation capabilities, to the point that they have made themselves the "Master Builders Four" one of the most powerful groups in the GUAG.
    • Also spends lots of time with Fred Rogers since one of Mr. Roger's big philosophies is that everyone makes the day special by being themselves.
  • When he ascended, he also carried with him a humongous supply of LEGO bricks for him to use. He's planning on using it to create a Lego-version of the Pantheon with every temple of every deity inside, along with mini-figs of each to accompany it.
  • Is a frequent guest of the Council of Cloudcuckooland, seeing as it reminds him of the Cloud Cuckoo Land run by his friend Princess Uni-Kitty. The gods there love it whenever he brings LEGO, and always challenge themselves to create new and wondrous things.
  • Not to be confused with Emmett Brown, although the LEGO Emmet is wondering if he could make his own Time-traveling DeLorean out of LEGO. Emmett Brown will be happy to help, but he first needs to make an instruction guide for it.
  • Likes hanging out with Wall-E and EVE due to Wall-E's own curiosity with building with LEGO, and the fact that Emmet's own sign of affection with Wyldstyle also involves holding hands. He also was happy to meet up with another hand holding pair in Yorda and Ico, and surprised them with a LEGO replica of the Castle in the Mist where they first met, along with minifigs of them holding hands.
  • Rumored to be the avatar for a higher power of creativity. He couldn't be reached for comment.
  • His theme song is so infectious, that it can make most members of the GUAE sing along to it. Emmet is a bit oblivious to everyone's discomfort as he can be seen singing it all day.
  • Pretty much has allies in every God who was part of a Lego Set. Ranging from the Avengers, Indiana Jones, Darth Vader, and all Marvel Gods. And these aren't counting the non-ascended gods who have Lego Sets.
  • Adam Savage and Jamie Hyneman once busted a myth of a giant Lego ball rolling downhill. Emmet decided to meet their match by doing his own replica of the myth.
  • Gets along famously with Fix-it-Felix Jr. due to their shared background in construction to the point that Felix is an honorary member of the Master Builders, being capable of improving many of the constructions.
  • Is impressed with Near's LEGO designs and how he tied them in with his detective work. They often exchange pointers for how to improve, so much to the point after seeing his giant "L" made of cards and city made out of dice blocks, he is considering offering him the name of an "honorary Master Builder".
  • Was absolutely excited to find Wyldstyle in the Pantheon and rushed to meet her. It was there that he and Princess Uni-Kitty (and Batman) threw a party in celebration for her ascension. Unfortunately, Emmet had to confess to Wyldstyle about the whole "friendship asylum" incident and how it was a really bad idea in the end. Wyldstyle has forgiven Emmet for it, but she swears to never forgive those who would use the asylum for evil purposes.
  • While he is chiefly the God of LEGO in the House of Craft, him seeing everything in the world is awesome was enough for him to make a Temple here. He built his second temple with blinding speeds using all of the LEGO bricks he could find. It took him a while, considering he needed to adjust the entrance to accommodate all the Gods who wanted to come by for a visit.
  • Made good friends with Yotsuba, considering that she always likes to say "Today is always the most enjoyable day."
  • Fred Rogers is a frequent visitor due to his belief that everyone makes the world special by being themselves. The constructs he makes with Emmet are so awe-inspiring that many who have seen what he created have cried at its beauty.
  • After his second adventure, he became very afraid of Dark Danny for being the god of Future Me Scares Me, because of how Rex Dangervest is his alternate future self like how Dark Danny is to Danny Phantom. Many of his allies have consoled him due to their different Start of Darkness making Emmet incapable of becoming the same as Dark Danny. Emmet is still scarred over the fact that Rex was born out Emmet making a mistake and being abandoned, while Dark Danny was born after Danny cheated and Slowly Slipped Into Evil. Emmet still tries to send friendship to Dark Danny regardless of his fear with no conclusive results. And once Rex ascended, all bets are off!
  • With Queen Watevra's ascension, she has been more than happy to help him in his creations. However, her ascension did bring with her two new facts about Emmet; one being if since she was technically made by Emmet, that technically makes her his daughter. The second, he still has his Master BREAKER abilities, meaning he can destroy any LEGO structures as well as build them. This new fact allowed for Emmet to feel more confident when using LEGO structures for the forces of good, as if they are being misused, he can just destroy it without the need of the Deconstructor.
  • Also a part of the the Artisan Six in the House of Craft.

    Emperor Calus 
Grow fat from strength.

Emperor Calus, God of Existentialism (The True Emperor, Chief Gift-Giver, the Good Host with the Generous Banquet, the Prince of Mirth, the Lord of Laughter, Bringer of Joy, Master of Celebrations, Patron of Festivity, The Golden King, Champion of Cheer, VIP #3801, The Opulent Disciple, Herald of the Witness)

  • Theme Song: The Leviathan
  • Alignment: True Neutral, might be Neutral Evil as of recent events
  • Portfolio: Pilots the Leviathan, a Planet Consuming Ship, Boisterous Bruiser, Wants to live life to the fullest, Well-Intentioned Extremist, Bling of War, Views using children as weapons is deplorable, The Dreaded, Adipose Rex, In Love with Your Carnage, Benevolent God-Emperor, Work Hard, Play Hard, Psychic Power, Becoming a Disciple of the Witness, was a horrible father to Caiatl, Brain Uploading
  • Domains: Hedonism, Existentialism, Opulence, Narcissism, Extravagance, Ruthlessness, Empires, Psionic Power
  • Followers: His Loyalists
  • Allies: Recette Lemongrass, SCP-2578-D, the Tenno, Corvo Attano, Emily Kaldwin
  • Enemies: The Vex, Oryx, The Eliksni, The Taken, the Harvesters, Sundowner, Cinder Fall, Bonedrewd, the Twin Queens and the Grineer Empire, Yaldabaoth/YHVH, Prime Minister Honest, Esdeath, Seryu Ubiquitous, Wild Hunt, those who sully hedonism or follow what he deems as self-destructive paths
  • Respects: The Guardians, The Phantom Thieves of Hearts, Determinators in general
  • Pities: Children made into weapons, the Tenno
  • Conflicting Opinion: Goro Akechi, Heinz Windermere
  • Opposed by: The House of Family and Relatives, victims of castration like Osiris
  • Hedonist. Narcissist. Those two words perfectly describe Calus, Emperor of the Cabal. He rose to the title after leading a revolution overthrowing the Praetorate, the current leadership at the time, fed up with the injustice and the exploitation of his people. From there, he turn away from the old customs and transform the Cabal into a society of pleasure-seekers and festivities. He believed that as an Emperor, he would be the model of happiness and the ideal lifestyle that his people deserve. He loved his people as they loved him back, and he ruled with little trouble until he was overthrown. A gladiator, of albino skin caught Calus' eye one day and used to bet on him a lot. Time passed, and he decided his talents would be better put to use as a Primus of one of the Legions, believing that they were kindred spirits. That was until he staged a coup to turn his confidants against him, realizing too late the usurper Primus was manipulated by a former Praetorate, the Consul, which lead to his exile.
    "They would have killed me, but I was too beloved and too glorious. So they sent me away into resplendent exile upon this Grand Leviathan."
    • Calus wallowed in despair onboard the Leviathan, forced to travel seemingly forever until the ship suddenly stopped. It had stopped within nothingness, leaving Calus to bore witness to a great power. Such an experience rekindled his motivation, prompting Calus to a journey of his own leading to the acceptance that his philosophy was true and we must take back the Empire. He'd take measures to ensure that the Conspirators would die through employing other alien races and while successful for some, they were unable to off all of them. That was, until that same gladiator strangled the Consul for mocking him and he himself would be murdered by the Guardians and the Travler itself. Dominus Ghaul lies dead.
      • Earning his audience, he invited the Guardians on his ship to face him. Accepting, they would brave through the Trials and "fight" Calus within his throne room and win, the Emperor honoring his end of the bargain. Later, he would call them up again to deal with a Vex Planetary Core that had been consumed by his ship leading to it malfunctioning. Just like their other encounters they destroyed it, but were almost consumed by the now operational World Eater had not Calus saved them.
        "I won't allow yoour death to be so trivial. Not after you supplanted Ghaul in such decisive fashion. You were magnificent today. You gorge yourself on danger. You embrace death."
  • His ship was spotted in the House of Metal and Minerals, devouring whole chunks and giving the nearby denizens one hell of a scare. While the Mediators of Nature, the Nature Preservers are quick to try and defend themselves from the gargantuan ship like that incident with the Grineer, the Guardians quickly stopped them. Recognizing the strange visiting ship they attempted to communicate it and inform of it's presence in the Pantheon. Quick as it came, it set off to the Court of Gods where Calus along with his Loyalists would petition his ascension. The Court originally suggested The Hedonist, but Calus refused stating his idea of decadence carries a more positive light than many examples. He'd instead get Anti-Nihilist, something more fitting to his philosophy.
    "It's the small moments, the simple pleasures that matter. They're all I can think about now. Food and drink aren't mere sustenance. They're a reminder that I am alive."
  • It would be really shortsighted to view Calus as just a selfish hedonist. Besides actually showing some acknowledgement and empathy towards his subjects, he's still Cabal. He does what he does to forge a paradise of decadence for all, realizing everyone's time is finite and has no intention of prolonging it. But do not view his luxury as weakness, he still overthrew a government, geld the Consul so he may beget no Heir, and destroy the Sindu fleet for refusing to join him. Those who used to be close by his side are not exempt from his hit-list, not even his own daughternote . He's pretty unpopular by the House of Family and Relatives as a result, but he stated that had she not also undid the work to turn the Cabal into another elitist society he would of forgiven her. Also unpopular by the House of Nature due to what he's willing to do to fuel his luxuries.
  • Although the real Calus has not been seen, the true extent of his power is unknown. There is evidence that suggests he has Psychic Powers like his Psions, only on a much grander scale. He was shown teleporting others from long distances to either help his allies or hinder his enemies through putting them into some dimension, creating a psionic projection of his head to consume his foes. That said, his duplicates are capable of forehead lasers, an Arm Cannon, and surprising durability, giving would-be assassins a difficult time.
  • It's no secret that he's infatuated by the Guardians' (or more specifically the Young Wolf's) resolve in facing whatever they come across. Doesn't matter if it's against reality warping machines or actual deities, they'll still fight until their final death. Those like them have also gotten his attention. The Phantom Thieves of Hearts, for instance, a band of outcasts out to reform their corrupt society whilst being beacons of hope. Even when nearly being erased from existence, they soon picked themselves back up to face Yaldabaoth and win. He plans on making them into his rebuilt Shadows since he wants them to join in on the merriment but refuse for a couple reasons: While Calus presents himself with good intentions, he's still very ruthless when it comes done to it (putting his daughter on his hit-list is one of many that stood out to them, especially Haru) and he's still too mysterious to be trusted, never meeting anyone in person. Calus finds their refusal of his offer disappointing, but nonetheless hopes they change their mind one day.
    "You, too, saved your people from enslavement and tyranny. From that fat leech undeserving of names. Life is too short so I hope you'll be at my side and know that it will be worth facing the end together, oh Phantom mine."
  • His time in the Pantheon has earned him some comparisons to other deities. He does not mind some, but there are those that warrant his attention. There were some comparisons to him and Jabba the Hutt, given their obese appearances. Calus laughed it off stating he's a low, petty criminal with a penchant for acting mighty in the worst of times. Yes, Calus refuses servitude to a higher power, but there's a difference between that and being suicidally arrogant. He genuinely has the power to back it up.
    • And regarding his position as a Planet Looter, while Calus acknowledges he's in the same light as the Harvesters, they are more closer to the Fallen/Eliksni and Oryx than they are to him. They leave not but destruction in their wake, not too far off from the Taken King and his masters. He at least has the courtesy to invite those outside his race if they prove themselves unlike them, who disregard other's lives completely.
  • Despite reasonably wanting Ghaul dead, he still was sorry for the fact he was raised to be a weapon for the Consul. Before the events of the Red Legion's invasion of the Last City, he even had plans to try and convince him to come back to his side, praising him for all of his attributes. For that reason, he has his sights on the Tenno, seeing them as worthy as the Guardians. He plans on steering away their powers of the Void for his instead, seeing the troubles it had brought them.
    • There was Akechi, who was driven to a dark road thanks to a horrible upbringing. That said, Calus doesn't plan on glossing over his actions and Akechi himself is cautious of the Cabal Emperor. Prolicide hits too close to home, whether or not he did die in Shido's Palace to aid the Phantom Thieves. His opinion on Heinz is similar, albeit a lot more hostile. He is, by all means, not has murderous as any of the races his people have fought against, but what he did surpasses the hedonist's forgiveness. The young king is paranoid of Calus' plans considering his influence on those around him. When asked, Calus stated he shouldn't be concerned what he and the Cabal would do and instead be concerned of his enemies finding out about him. Especially Oryx and his Hive.
    • Those who do equally horrid acts on children quickly get labeled as enemies. Sundowner is a war-loving, psychothic cyborg who encourages the use of Child Soldiers. Bonedrewd is an inhuman individual who butchered children and transformed them into amorphous blobs, in the name of science. The Twin Queens are sadistic witches who drive children to despair and hijack their bodies to stave off their own mortality. But one of the worst has to be Prime Minister Honest, who Calus believes sullied the name of decadence with his existence. To the Cabal Emperor, he is the epitome of what being pathetic is in his eyes, and was glad to know that demise (at least in the manga) was a product of mob justice.
      "How small a man must be to seek greatness in the shadow of others. How pitiful the man who raises up a great soul and cowers behind it."
      • Don't get him started on Honest's lackeys, whom he denounces as either as an "aimless and empty siege engine" (Esdeath), "degenerate enforcer of justice" (Seryu), or "fat, parasitic mongrels" (Wild Hunt). He plans on a much worse punishment for all of them, one that weaves around the Pantheon's rules on death.
    • A mention should go out to the Ancestor who, to borrow everyone else's words, ruined everything. Raising the dead, sending off a Hag to the forests, summoning demons in pigs, disposing of a crew and young maiden to the seas, digging up some otherworldy force, it was all a concoction for self destruction, and was appalled to hear it all stemmed from the Ancestor's hedonism and a sip from an actual Bloody Mary. Though he decided to atone for his sins through damage control, Calus is well aware of the Heart of Darkness, and his connection to it.
  • When not on his ship consuming entire chunks of land, Calus could be studying ancient ruins and societies. He can aslo be found drinking with Homer Simpson and Barney Grumble, of all people. Turns out he enjoys their company enough to be drinking buddies. His robotic visage can also be seen parading across the Pantheon, trying to reinforce his support such as buying things himself for example. Calus seems quite fond of Recette's shop out of the others which could be attributed to her attitude and the wide selection of items.
  • Calus went about his day as usual, downing himself in the Royal Wine he had freshly made where he had a dawning realization: His allies are on the short side in comparison to the many enemies he made. So he flew around trying to find any deities whose views aligned with his. The search lead to a peculiar tyrant-hating Kill Sat, who to some deities surprise did not view Calus as one. Seeing it's goals intertwined with his own, the Emperor decided to ally with SCP-2578-D, offering to help further improve its capabilities whilst try and quell its intentions. The SCP accepted, and became Calus' Shadow, the first of the Pantheon. Those corrupt in attitude should watch the skies, and read their emails.
    • He seems to open his arms out to Corvo Attano and his daughter Emily Kaldwin, enjoying the terror they cause to the vile poison aristocrats and other more dubious individuals. Some of Calus' enemies align perfectly with Corvo's, a worthy candidate for his Shadows should he continue. As for Emily, it's obvious she takes after her father with the added bonus of being someone a higher power is willing to protect. Her politics is something that's left to be desired, but Calus is willing to lend his advice here and there.
  • "I say this to you, oh champion mine, and I say it from my heart: there are those who would bargain away their souls just to live a little longer. I am not them. Life must be worth living. Life must be lovely and delicious and enviably sweet! Nothing has ever lived that will not die, so what matters is how we use our time."

Intermediate Gods

    Athrun Zala 
Athrun Zala, The Cynical God (Alex Dino, The Red Knight)
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/athrunzalafull258393_removebg_preview.png
  • Intermediate God
  • Symbol: His Infinite Justice Gundam; Alternatively, Torii
  • Theme Music: Anna ni Isshoni Datta no ni ~Athrun Zala feeling~
  • Alignment: Neutral Good (may have been Lawful Neutral when he was in conflict against Kira)
  • Portfolio: Deuteragonist of SEED and Supporting Protagonist of SEED Destiny, Knight in Sour Armor, Ace Pilot, Reluctant Warrior, Broken Ace, Forehead of Doom
  • Domains: War, Cynicism, Allegiance
  • Heralds: Cagalli Yula Athha (his Girlfriend, shared with Kira), Yzak Joule, Dearka Elsman, Nicol Amalfi, Rusty Mackenzie, Miguel Aiman (former teammates), Heine Westenfluss (fellow ZAFT veteran), Meyrin Hawke, Meer Campbell
  • Mecha Piloted: GAT-X303 Aegis Gundam, ZGMF-X09A Justice Gundam, ZGMF-1000 ZAKU Warrior, ZGMF-X23S Saviour Gundam, ZGMF-2000 GOUF Ignited, ZGMF-X19A Infinite Justice Gundam (his current signature mecha)
  • Allies: All heroic Gundam Deities (especially Kira Yamato (his Best Friend), Lacus Clyne, Shinn Asuka (former enemy; currently patching things up with him), and Setsuna F. Seiei), Haro, Kaworu Nagisa, Martin Walker, Siegfried Schtauffen, Rick Blaine
  • Enemies: All Villainous Gundam Deities (especially Rau Le Creuset, Muruta Azrael, Lord Djibril, Gilbert Durandal, and Ali Al-Saachez), Millennium, SHOCKER, HYDRA, Zoran Lazarević, Raul Menendez, Norman Osborn, Reaper
  • Additional relations: Char Aznable
  • It's not that hard to say that Athrun Zala has gone through a lot in his life, though given how much his friend Kira Yamato was involved with that, it's made things a bit complicated for Athrun. He was originally part of ZAFT, a group that's in conflict with Kira, and given what had happened during that time (which included him being so shaken over almost killing Kira in a deadly fight), he has a reason to believe war isn't something to make light of.
    • Things got a lot more complicated when he returned to ZAFT to aid Shinn Asuka and two other pilots. Considering how much the prior war affected him, it was difficult for him to get used to the ZAFT pilots, especially regarding Shinn's idealistic (and hot-headed) attitude. All told, Athrun is someone who believes in making sure bad things don't happen, but he's not particularly enthusiastic about certain things.
  • Athrun has a complicated relation with Char. At first, Athrun filled in The Rival archetype whilst also getting involved with Mu La Flaga (being "The Mentor" that time) and Rau Le Creuset (playing the "Big Bad / Dark Messiah"). After that, Athrun tried taking a leaf out of Mwu's book and became The Mentor for Shinn while working for Gilbert Durandal (who's basically the Big Bad, and who sounds very much like the actual Char), until he defected and started taking on The Rival mantle again, this time to Shinn. So far, he has yet to take the Dark Messiah mantle.
    • Long story short, even though Athrun doesn't look like Char (at least as far as hair color is concerned), he still kind of acts like him to an extent (including wearing Cool Shades and giving himself a weird alternate name, alongside piloting red Gundams). Even though Athrun has some reservations about him (Athrun once claimed that he heard a bit of Rau's voice coming from Char), the Red Comet himself doesn't have much issue with Athrun.
  • Even though he has been in conflict against Kira in the early parts of both wars, that hasn't stopped Athrun from being great friends with Kira and the two work great together in battle. It goes without saying that there are more than a handful of people who think there is something more than friendship going on with the two.
  • Aside from being a skilled mecha pilot, Athrun has built a few Robot Buddies, specifically Torii, a mechanical bird, and Haro (at least, the Cosmic Era Haros), a number of which follow Lacus around. Athrun was pleasantly surprised to find numerous other Haros in the Pantheon besides the ones he made (though he's a little bothered by the purple one that Nena Trinity has).
  • He seems to have found a pretty good acquaintance through Siegfried Schtauffen, another person who is determined to fight for the side of good amidst a cynical attitude. The two have also gotten involved with morally questionable actions, albeit through very different circumstances.
  • Since Athrun knows what its like to deal with the hardships of war, he's gotten along really well with the likes of Martin Walker. Both of them tend to have conversations about how they're coming along with their respective paths to being a better person.
  • Having had experience in battling against terrorist organizations and warmongers, Athrun quickly learned about such organizations and those who headed the aforementioned organizations within the Pantheon. He was rather upset when he found out that Muruta Azrael and Lord Djibril joined SHOCKER to continue their terrorism and Athrun has made it a point to stop them and the organization from going any further.
    • Zoran Lazarevic and Raul Menendez have both proven to be a significant problem for Athrun. The former's hatred for pacifism has made Athrun realize that both Kira and Lacus would be at risk of an attack from him. Menendez's ability to manipulate someone into attacking their own allies has also made Athrun wary and given that it happened to him twice before, Athrun's determined to make sure him fighting against Kira doesn't happen a third time.
  • Given how much he doesn't like war, Athrun hates Ali Al-Saachez for using the "advantages" of war as a justification to cause chaos and misery for others. Athrun has made friends with Setsuna F. Seiei because of this given the latter's experience and has helped Setsuna a number of times in stopping Ali's attacks.
  • He has found a surprisingly good friend through Kaworu Nagisa, as the two of them have had experience with mecha (moreso in Athrun's case), both sound pretty similar to each other, and each have their own guy that they care about quite a bit (though Athrun probably isn't in the same level as Kaworu's as far as being really attracted to the aforementioned guy is concerned).
  • Some have remarked Athrun is something of a Chick Magnet given that in the second war, his piloting skills (both from that war and the prior one) managed to earn him the affections of a few young women. He honestly doesn't find it funny since not only wasn't he that active in pursuing girls, but the fact that much of these proposed relations with these girls didn't end well.
  • The House of Friendship and Camaraderie once asked Athrun about the whole ordeal with him and Kira. He mentioned to them a moment where a nasty battle between him and Kira took place and how after that, he realized the problems he was facing during the war through a talk with Lacus. Although that house never quite understood why Athrun got into conflict against his friend a second time, they're still on good terms with Athrun due to him maintaining a good friendship with Kira after the wars they fought in ended.
  • In the first war, Athrun had a dad named Patrick, who was apathetic towards his son and only cared about furthering his own goals. Athrun tried to get on his father's good side, but after learning about what those goals really were, Athrun had second thoughts about it. Although Patrick is less of an abusive parent and more of a selfish one, Athrun still doesn't like a lot of parents who have treated their kids less than well and only sought to fulfill less-than-benevolent goals for themselves.
    • Of particular note, Norman Osborn has earned a fair amount of scorn from Athrun. It has not only to do with how badly Norman treated his son Harry, but Athrun somehow believes that something that Norman did (taking over an organization and making things worse) is almost somewhat like what happened with Patrick Zala being chairman of ZAFT and using that power to further his own agenda. Athrun was also told about Norman's tendency to torment couples and even though Athrun doesn't have a relationship with another girl at the moment, he knew that Kira & Lacus are bound to get targeted by Norman at some point.
  • He once made a quick stop to Rick Blaine's bar and had a talk with him about their respective adventures. Both of them managed to get along as not only did the both of them have a cynical view, but even amidst their mindsets, they were able to perform good deeds near the end of their own journeys. They even had to deal with Nazis in their adventures as well (well, fantastical equivalents of Nazis in Athrun's case).
  • Athrun may have had a significant role in both of the wars he got involved with, but he probably wasn't at the front and center of either of them. Within the mecha and war aspects of the Pantheon, Athrun is not the main lead of them (and whoever is the actual leader of both of these aspects is still debated), but he has a substantial supporting role in these fields.

  • Kouta Kazuraba is an earnest, yet naive, young adult and a former member of Team Gaim, a street dancing group, who has somehow gained the means to become the samurai-themed Armored Rider, Kamen Rider Gaim, after he picked up the Sengoku Driver and a Lockseed during his search on the original leader of Team Gaim, who went missing after receiving that said driver. From there on, he uses his powers to protect the innocent from the rampaging Inves, as well as dealing with other rival Armored Riders, who had clashed with his ideals. As time goes on, he managed to ascend into the pantheon after winning his battle against Kaito Kumon, who become an Overlord named Lord Baron in the prophesied battle.
  • His predecessor, Haruto Soma/Kamen Rider Wizard (fellow Hope Bringer) taught him the importance of Hope back when they teamed up in their battle against Bujin Gaim.
  • Contrary to popular belief, he's not dumb, but rather naïve. Said naivety is the reason why he's involved in many troubles including killing Yuya Sumii by accident.
    • Also Kouta was once fell into Kogane's trap of being corrupted by the Evil Seeds, as a result, he temporarily becomes Gaim Yami, an exact opposite of himself. However thanks to Lapis's powers and his own sheer will of determination, Kouta breaks out of his own corruption and returns to his normal self.
  • Tried to reason with Mitsuzane Kureshima too many times since the latter's Face–Heel Turn. He finally did it, but at the same time, caused a temporary death which fortunately gets better.
  • Kouta became close friends with Kira Yamato due to their similar ideals, as well as both of them, use their own strength by defeating their enemies without killing them unless if the enemy is a Sadistic Omnicidal Maniac.
    • Due to his association with Kira, he also gets along well with the majority of the GUAG Robot War Division, especially the Gundam pilots, after he notices of their act of heroism in their respective battles.
  • Was glad that his rival and worthy opponent Kaito Kumon had managed to ascend into the pantheon as Kaito made a remark on Kouta that he will fight him again to test his might against his Overlord powers someday.
  • He gets along well with both Naruto Uzumaki and Kyo Kusanagi as both experienced to have a heated rivalry with their respective rivals like Sasuke Uchiha and Iori Yagami respectively, much like how Kouta had a rivalry with Kaito.
  • As he fought, Kouta has come to realize that his enemy is the concept called 'Cynicism'. It's the thing that will cause despair and people giving up. Thus, while he befriended a lot of Hope Bringers, he brings a new concept: He doesn't just bring hope, he crushes those who promote cynicism and despair, which is ironic, seeing who his superior is. He made enemies with several despair lovers like Sid, Makishima, Monokuma, Enoshima, Enter, and Terumi of the Trollkaigers, and Liebert, while discussing with his senpai and fellow Urobuchi Deity, Madoka Kaname, about a group specifically made to crush despair and cynicism to curb while spreading hope.
    • Along the way he had met several Hope Bringers in this pantheon, such as Makoto Naegi, Komaru Naegi, Flynn, Yu Narukami, Kenshiro, and Akane Tsunemori, after he noticed their actions of bringing hope and being an inspirational figure among their respective allies.
  • Other than Madoka, he also gets along well with the Magical Girl Sisterhood due to his close ties with Madoka as well as its members, particularly Sayaka Miki as her powers reminding him of his own while he had a sympathy for her after learning of predicament of being heartbroken due to her love triangle situation with Kyosuke Kamijo and Hitomi Shizuki, same thing with Mami Tomoe after he noticed her terrible pasts that turned her as an empty shell while she's doing her best in her duty as a hero, and Megumi Aino after Kouta was proud of her accomplishments of saving her world by removing every traces of hatred within her final opponent Red. The sisterhood also pointed out that Kouta might be Madoka's "Kamen Rider counterpart", which he didn't deny it at all.
    • However, he has mixed feelings towards Kyoko Sakura as the Puella Magi's traits reminding him of Kaito in many ways.
  • He also gets along well with Kenzo Tenma as he also noticed that he had been through a lot of suffering in his lifetime, while he wants to stop Johan Liebert for causing a lot of chaos back in his universe.
  • He is also being close allies with both Shirou Emiya and Altria Pendragon, as the former both were heroes who shared the same ideals who wanted to protect the people who they care about and the latter were both blue-colored heroes who holds similar ideals to each other while he is also impressed with her swordsmanship at the same time.
  • He is also very close friends with Ryuko Matoi as both of them were trying to stop an alien invasion in their respective worlds while he also noticed that her origins as a Life Fiber Hybrid are kinda similar to his brethren Rider's origins. Also whenever he heard Senketsu's voice, he reminded him a bit of Momotaros for many reasons.
  • Kouta had a fondness to go to the mortal world to inspire many to never lose hope in spite of anything. He has stopped doing it after a while and because of that he was surprised when he learn that most of the people he was helping, such as Kazuto Kirigaya, Asuna Yuuki, Satellizer el Bridget, Judai Yuki, Yuma Tsukumo, Haru Glory, Elie, Gracia, Aichi Sendou, Iona Hikawa, Garrod Ran, Tiffa Adill, Team TRY Fighters, Lacus Clyne, Jack Atlas, and Alisa Illinichina Amiella finally ascended into the Pantheon. They have become friends ever since.
    • He was also very amused to find out that Judai admires the Kamen Riders and tries to emulate them with the Masked Heroes cards, all of which look like many of Kouta's comrades in the Toku Base. He wonders with curiosity if there's gonna be one that looks like any of his forms too...
    • Kouta also rekindled his friendship with Yusei Fudo after the latter's ascension due to their similar ideals as he assures to Yusei that he hopes for the rest of the Signers will ascend into the pantheon someday, which Yusei is glad to hear such good remarks from Kouta.
    • He also rekindled his friendship with Aki Izayoi after her immediate ascension as Kouta was impressed with her psychic abilities which it can be used to materialize her Duel Monster Card into a real monster while at the same time he also had a sympathy for her after learning her terrible past that made her into a villain at first before she was redeemed by Yusei for defeating her in their second duel.
  • He has some mixed feelings towards Yoko Minato after he had been through with the sole female New Generation Rider as either his ally or an enemy.
    • Also gained an uneasy alliance with both Rio and Mele since both of them reminding him of both Kaito and Minato due to their similar traits.
  • When it comes to Kyubey, he recalls a similar experience with DJ Sagara, the avatar of the Helheim Forest. However, he honestly seemed better by comparison. Coming off as genuinely polite, friendly, well-meaning, and also seemed to take his defeat rather well. The way he sees it, the Incubators seem similar enough in some places that they could at least learn a few lessons from him.
  • Was not happy at all after he heard the ascensions of both Ryoma Sengoku and Kogane, as the former was the one who caused a lot of troubles that leads to the Helheim Invasion while the latter tries to bring chaos back in his experience in the Soccer World. He will stop them if they try to reenact the same evil deeds as they did before.
    • The same could go for Sid finding a way out of the Demonic Legion. However, he's become even stronger himself by this point, so dealing with him wouldn't really be much of a problem anymore.
    • Also gaining an ire towards Katsumi Daido as his transition from being a hero to villain made him a disgraced for being what a "Kamen Rider" is about and his actions were far worse than Micchy, and Sou Fueki for committing a mass human sacrifice for his ritual to fully revive his daughter Koyomi, which Kouta is against this kind of method. Because of this, he will fight to stop them.
  • His status as an Overlord made him a greater threat towards Yuu and his Da'ath organization as his Godlike powers was the cause of interfering their own plot to recreate the whole world in their image.
  • Kouta has a Conflicting Opinion with Homura Akemi due to her actions of turning into a Demon by usurping and sealing Madoka Kaname's God-like powers. While he tries to reason with her, Homura insists that she did what she had to do, making the conflict between them escalate at its worst since he cannot accept her cynical view of life, and her treachery to her brethren Puella Magi, especially after what she had done to her former friend Madoka Kaname.
  • The Doctor is very proud of the way Kouta handled Helheim and the Inves at the end, by sending it to a lifeless planet to not only give that planet life, but also to restore Earth.
  • He gains the admiration of Superman due to his heroic deeds back in his battles as a Kamen Rider and the man of steel sees Kouta as one of the aspiring heroes of the next generation. He was also admired by Ling Xiaoyu for his idealism despite he faced hopeless moments, that said admiration is the reason why Xiaoyu became motivated to save Jin Kazama from his grisly fate.
  • He also gained an ire towards Regime Superman after he learned that his actions were twisted due to him being the opposite of the real universe Superman.
  • Upon learning the ascension of Onaga, he is not very happy at all by knowing his plan to take over the Pantheon and his powers to "resurrect the dead as one of his slaves" made him a greater threat as he is now trying to rally every heroic Kamen Riders and other heroes to stand against Onaga.
  • Kouta was glad that his Love Interest Mai ascends into the pantheon, as the two of them reunited, they finally continue their duties as both the Man and Woman of the Beginning respectively.

  • Symbol: Her personally crafted yellow lightsaber.
  • Theme Music: Rey's theme
  • Alignment: Neutral Good
  • Portfolio: The Ace, Mentor's New Hope, Seemingly a child of "nobodies", which is technically true because her father renounced his lineage to Palpatine, Nice Girl, but not without her limits, Fish out of Water, Horrible Judge of Character, Revealed to be the granddaughter of Emperor Palpatine and shedding the family name because of it, Hope Bringer
  • Domains: Family, Jedi, Destiny
  • Heralds: Finn, Poe Dameron, and BB-8
  • Allies:
  • Teeth-Clenched Teamwork with: Count Dooku, General Grievous, Asajj Ventress
  • Complicated Relationships: Revan
  • Enemies:
  • Special Relationships: Luke Skywalker, Han Solo, Leia Organa, Ben Solo, The Ones
  • Rey was originally a scavenger living on Jakku before she met BB-8 and Finn and joining the Resistance in their fight against the First Order, while also receiving the aid of Han Solo and Chewbacca. An encounter with the First Order's strongest warrior, Kylo Ren, reveals she is Force-Sensitive, causing her to take on Anakin and Luke's former lightsaber and use it to defeat Kylo after she witnesses him kill Han Solo and put in Finn in a coma. After finally getting to meet the famous Luke Skywalker to request his training, she is shocked to see that Luke has become a recluse and refuses to take part in the war due to blaming himself for Ben Solo's turn to the Dark Side, causing the latter to become Kylo Ren as he slaughters the other young Jedi in training. After speaking to Ben through their Force Bond as he forces her to accept that her parents were "nobodies" who abandoned her on Jakku and aren't coming back, Rey tries to save him from the Dark Side after the two come to understand each other. While Kylo does save her from his master, Snoke, Kylo refuses to turn back to the Light and usurps leadership of the First Order, forcing Rey to leave him as she helps the other members of the Resistance escape while Luke (having a change of heart after talking with Yoda) keeps Kylo Ren and the First Order at bay, sacrificing his life in the process. Rey decides to carry on Luke's legacy after taking the original ancient-scriptures of the Jedi's Spiritual and Warrior Traditions.
    • One year later, however, things start to take a turn for the worse when the thought-to-be dead Palpatine makes his return and offers to Kylo Ren the Final Order, a fleet consisting of countless Star Destroyers each bearing a Planet Killer. Rey and her companions try to find a map to Exegol, a planet where Palpatine's base of operations is located. While clashing with Kylo Ren on the way, latter reveals to Rey something that Palpatine told him: Rey is Palpatine's granddaughter. Her parents being nobodies? It is technically true because her father disowned Palpatine as his father, trying to live a safe and happy life with his wife and daughter before being forced to Rey on Jakku for her safety. Though unwilling to believe it at first, Rey still tries to continue to her search for the map to Exegol, but a final clash with Kylo Ren causes her to briefly give into her rage and fatally wound him, much to her horror. Rey exiles her out of fear of her power, but Luke's Force Ghost is able to help come to terms with her past and decide her own future. Travelling to Exegol, Rey confronts Palpatine, but is having initial difficulty fighting him, especially when he reveals that he will possess her if she strikes him down in rage and hatred. But with the help of the reformed Ben Solo, the spirits of the Jedi, and the entire galaxy coming to the aid of the Resistance, Rey is able to destroy Palpatine, though at the cost of her life. Ben revives her with the Force, sacrificing his life in the process, but not before Ben and Rey share a kiss. Rey goes to Taitooine to bury Luke and Leia's lightsabers and takes on the Skywalker family name as she works to bring back the Jedi Order.
  • Formerly the herald of Luke, the Court of the Gods reviewed Rey's case after she defeated Palpatine, and were quite impressed by how she had become Luke's successor in becoming the galaxy's new source of hope, as well as rekindling Luke's faith in the Jedi. The Court of the Gods send a messenger with an invitation to the Pantheon, and when told that Luke, Leia, Han, and all of their friends are in the Pantheon, Rey accepted the invitation and became the Goddess of Mentor's New Hope. A happy reunion ensues between her and her Family of Choice, and while Rey's friends, Finn, Poe, and BB-8 couldn't ascend just yet, Rey is willing to wait for them as long as it takes.
    • She also got a big surprise to see Ben Solo in the Pantheon, and is also quite happy to see him again after their last interaction in the mortal world as allies. While Ben's standing in the Pantheon is complicated at the moment, Rey knows he's changed for the better and is willing to support his case. Some gods have wondered if Rey and Ben are a couple after their kiss in the mortal world, though they aren't saying anything about it.
    • Luke, Han, and Leia all served as parental figures and good mentors to Rey, which led to her see them as her family. She highly trusts and respects them, and they in turn are happy how Rey was able to overcome her own personal trials.
    • Not long after, Rey would meet the other Jedi in the Pantheon, including the likes of Yoda, Mace Windu, Qui-Gon Jinn, Ahsoka Tano, and Anakin Skywalker, all of whom were there to support her in the fight against Palpatine. The former Jedi show great appreciation to her for helping to restore the order and putting a stop to Palpatine from bringing danger back to the galaxy. Anakin is also quite grateful for Rey helping his grandson return to the light and saving him from his dark path.
    • Rey also met the likes of the Exile, Revan, Cal Kestis, and Galen Marek, each of whom had a differing relationship with her:
      • Meetra Surik, aka the Exile, had the Dark and Troubled Past of being an exiled and disgraced Jedi Knight before she eventually returned and rebuild the Jedi Order. Meetra is very sympathetic towards Rey, and in turn she is also grateful to her for restoring the Jedi Order after it was almost destroyed two times. Rey also greatly respects her in turn and is also secretly giddy to meet the founder of the previous generation of the Jedi.
      • Revan's relationship with Rey is complicated to say the least, since on one hand, he was a former Sith. But on the other hand, Rey is also shocked to learn how the Jedi from his time period wiped his memories to make him turn to their side. All the same, Revan does respect Rey for her moral character and strength, as well as restoring balance to the galaxy.
      • Cal Kestis shows respect to Rey for helping to bring back the Jedi Order, and also how they've been hunted down by the enemy for so long. Cal doesn't mind at all that Rey is a granddaughter of the man who almost brought extinction onto the Jedi Order.
      • Galen Marek was raised by Darth Vader to hunt down other Jedi before he eventually became one himself and helped found the Rebel Alliance. He shows great respect for Rey for her actions, but he also shows sympathy towards Rey for her backstory and has offered to teach her to control her power if she still fears the Dark Side.
  • However, just as Rey found friends, she also met foes both old and new. Among them, Rey could react in horror at the discovery that Palpatine is in the Pantheon as well, despite destroying him in the mortal world. Palpatine could only laugh at his granddaughter's distress, while also plotting to drain her and Ben to reclaim his full power once more.
    • Rey also met other foes from her universe as well, each one earning a different opinion from her:
      • Quite disgusted with Jabba the Hutt for his atrotious table manners. Rey is also shown to be quite angry with what he did to Han and Leia, as well as trying to feed her surrogate family to the Sarlaac.
      • Has nothing but contempt for both Tarkin and Krennic for their role in constructing and using the Death Star, especially since it served as a prototype for the Starkiller base and Final Order fleet. Hearing of how casual they're willing to destroy lives also disgusts her.
      • Rey does feel pity for Maul after hearing just what he went through under Palpatine's thumb, but still won't hesistate to fight him to save lives. Maul in turn hates Rey for being his former master's granddaughter, and wants to destroy her to eliminate Palpatine's bloodline.
      • Darth Nihilius and Tenebrae have earned Rey's fear for being the most dangerous and powerful Dark Side users she's ever faced. Possibly even more so than Palpatine. Of course, she won't let this get in the way of stopping them.
  • Rey would soon come across the Ones, the very embodiment of the Force itself. Rey finds herself becoming quick friends with the Daughter, who congragulates her on fulfilling her destiny and shows sympathy towards her earlier plight. The Son, on the other hand, wishes to corrupt her and convince her to make full use of her power as Palpatine's daughter, so as to have another ally. The Father, on the other hand is neutral on the matter, but does show respect for Rey's strength and bringing order to the galaxy.
  • Ultraman Zero and Steven Universe both had to live up to a certain legacy of someone, while struggling with their darker sides, something that Rey can relate to all too well. Though unlike them, Rey was able to just barely avoid succumbing to darkness fully, and even then it took a My God, What Have I Done? moment to do so. Ultraman Zero sympathizes with Rey over having the blood of Palpatine in her veins, while Steven also had to struggle with his mother's choices even before he discovered she was Pink Diamond.
    • Riku Asakura formed a deep friendship with Rey since they both had similar backstories of having villainous blood in their veins, but chose to be heroes instead. Though Rey discovered her heritage late in life, Riku discovered his when his personal story began. The two tend to hang out and talk with each other over their emotional journey and how they grew as people.
  • Fellow Hope Bringers came to befriend Rey, and are even impressed how she manages to restore the hope of Luke Skywalker when he had become jaded. Makoto Naegi and Naruto Uzumaki were able to get through to Kyosuke Munakata and Obito Uchiha, both of were good people gone bad, so they were the ones who grew the closest to Rey. Rey comes to sympathize with Madoka Kaname after one of her closest friends became a self-proclaimed demon and fated to fight Madoka. Rey does hope one day Homura Akemi will see the light.
  • Rey has a strong dislike of tyrants, considering her experience with Snoke and Palpatine. Whether they are Dark Lords like Sauron, powerful overlords like Darkseid, or even evil members of a family like Ultraman Belial, Rey has vowed to put an end to their reign of terror.

  • Heralds: MP7 and PP-90
  • A PMC like Griffon and Kryuger has amassed quite the number of Tactical Dolls. Quirky as some... okay, no, quirky as a many of them most are quite friendly or approachable at the very least. A tsundere or two here, a lazy bum or two there. Alas, AA-12 and Vector are not among that group of dolls for the two of them project their own downcast auras in their own little ways. Hard to work with personally, definitely, but not so much professionally. You'll find they're quite good at what they do in the company. Better hope you can roll for them and make the investment too.
  • For well over a few months word abounds over a string of incidents relating to the various mechanical deities disappearing before returning just as quickly with no recollection and continuing about their life as though nothing had happened since their departure. Of course, the GUAG White Hats were quick to investigate but found that the disappearances had immediately slowed to a halt. A couple of months later the cases started up again with this time the ascended T-Dolls being singled out, implying that perhaps an old enemy of theirs had joined the fray. Yet something felt about that observation, and this lead to the likes of 9S and later Chihiro Fujisaki and Iris.EXE taking it upon themselves to look into the matter on their own. Their investigation led them to a remote storage unit in the House of Travel with the missing Dolls, all unconscious, including two Dolls they've never seen or heard of before.
    • It turns out that all of the T-Dolls have their Neural Clouds shoved within a part of cyberspace running combat simulations endlessly and that in order to escape they have to collect them from within it one by one. 9S was initially hesitant about leaving behind Chihiro though Iris assured she'd stay behind with Chihiro to help him out from the outside while also looking over the Ultimate Programmer. With everything in order 9S set off the retrieve the Doll's Neural Clouds with the first encounters being with the two unknown Dolls. First impressions... did not go well with the two clearly on edge and threatening to attack him if they made another move, suspecting him to be their captor. In the end 9S ended up winning over their trust after the captor in question came on who the android recognized to be Teseo who then revealed he orchestrated the earlier disappearances to plumb some combat data while the current operations was because he had nothing else important to do at the moment.
      • Arrogant as he was, Teseo mocked the dolls for being quite troublesome to shove into the cyber world and for their low-specs before sending some Sangvis Ferri and Paradeus simulated soldiers on their way. Realizing the dire situation at hand the two dolls, AA-12 and Vector, were forced to place their trust on this stranger to get out in one piece. It was a trust well placed as with his help and their knowledge on SF they soon gathered the other dolls while outside Iris made contact with the authorities over Teseo bringing in the unascended into the Pantheon. Realizing this, the Adept Hacker backed out but not before trying to terminate the simulation altogether. Thankfully, everyone made it out on time and though their Neural Clouds were damaged they were still alive and well. As recompense for getting involved in ordeals involving the Pantheon they were awarded godhood. Despite the skepticism in accepting such a thing with AA-12 being unsure about bunking with another doll in an unfamiliar place the two were coaxed into taking up the title.
  • While both of their attitudes are off-putting neither of the two are ingrates and have given their thanks where it is needed. Through 9S they were able to get in contact with his partner 2B who helped the two ease in the Pantheon starting out. In turn, Vector and AA-12 have assisted the two YoRHa androids on some missions here and there like the rest of their fellow T-Dolls. For the record, Vector prefers working with 2B while AA-12 is more at home with 9S. AA-12 could do without 2B glaring at her, however. Especially on the rare occasions when she gives him a lollipop. He's just easier to talk to, even if they do bicker, jeez.
    AA-12: Oi 9S, could you, like, get 2B to stop looking at me that way? The glare she gives me is even more sourer than the candies MP7 chomps on when she's having a bad day. I'd tell her to quit it but formal stuff makes me sick. Plus, heh, given my atrocious track record with this sort of thing...
  • As a general rule they don't usually go out to make friends, for different reasons (see below). Yet the Pantheon works in mysterious ways and they managed to get people running into them anyways. First was Eeyore, who previously held their title before joining the rest of the Hundred-Acre Woods gang. Yes, this is literally a "misery loves company" sort of thing. Next was Hikari, who was formally depressed due to all the hell she went through growing up but through some help managed to overcome it and get back to pursuing her dream as a movie director. While many of their conversations with her revolve around movies and little else they surprisingly get pretty lengthy, especially with Vector's knowledge on non-mainstream stuff. Zombie films and otherwise dark and mysterious movies are her thing.
    Hikari: This weekend there was this one film that has made rounds in the House of Love and Affection.
    AA-12: More than likely it was probably another trashy romance one. The kind that gets people to scope it late at night while your roommate is still sleeping because of all the fanfare it got the other day. Not that I wouldn't know.
    Hikari: I mean, I wasn't insinuating you were...
    AA-12: ... Oh. Uh, can someone get a shovel to bury me with?
    Vector: I've no intention of or writing your obituary. We still need to work tomorrow.
    AA-12: Right, right...
    Kotone Shiomi: Aha, these are some interesting friends you made, Hikari.
  • Having seen their fair share of conflict against antagonistic militaries and machines alike stemming from encounters with KCCO and Sangvis Ferri alike such enmity has extended to other gods who fit the bill. Quite frankly, the Enclave and the Grineer Empire fit the former while Null Sector and Ash fit the latter nicely. For taking up arms against them and helping some of their enemies the animosity is shared.
  • Once, the two alongside a couple other T-Dolls were tasked in dealing with a small operation involving the Black Dragons' arms dealing. Before they were able to do anything, however, a mysterious gas was released killing many of the criminals while rays of light picked off the rest. Narrowly dodging the same they tried pursuing this new assailant out into the plains and their new opponent wasted no time picking off their Dummy links. Ultimately, though, this enemy would soon escape after they got hit with a pulse grenade. After recovering, Vector managed to find out that their mystery attacker was an ambitious madman going by the name of Father Elijah who sought to recover technology whenever he can. A massive misanthrope and control freak, believing people to be too stupid to know what they're dealing with in tech, his ultimate goal is wiping out as many people as he could and enslave the rest under a "quiet world".
  • Being the girls that anthropomorphize the guns they carry it was only a matter of time in which the two have met those who are familiar with their weapons. John "Soap" MacTavish, John Price, Team Metal, and Private James Ramirez have at least access to one of their weapons and have no problem with them being around or working together. Of course, with things as they are the two dolls naturally became enemies with General Shepherd and Vladimir Makarov. Neither of the two have any problem with that, though, considering what Griffin has went through and all that.
  • By the request of their fellow T-Dolls the two have occasionally dropped by to the bar of Valhalla where Jill Stingray works at. They haven't formally met her in the Alternate Universe where G&K stopped by Glitch City and dropped by the establishment, nor have they really met the T-Doll versions of her or her friends after being uploaded from the Digimind of a absolutely shitfaced doll who created an entirely new universe in it either. They're frequent patrons, especially AA-12 with how late she often stays up.
    Vector: Drinking this Mercuryblast made me remember the time where I tried spicy food. Buffalo wings, extra crispy, with jalapeño poppers. I'd thought the sensation would be enjoyable having the pre-installed data on the experience. I was even a little excited.
    Jill: Guessing you didn't.
    Vector: Just my luck.
    AA-12: Sheesh.
  • The two dolls have also lodged in the House of Introvert Flaws. They'd like to insist their quirks aren't flaws. Responses tend to then pose the question if those are features instead.
  • AA-12 only:
    • Possessing not only an irritable mood and an even sorer one when things don't quite go her way, AA-12 is not easy to get along with. She's all too aware of her poor social skills (ex. she tried to shoot someone upon being asked to swim) and places a great amount of importance in the late night talk radio she listens to for relationship advice, as the bags under her eyes have quite clearly indicated. Hard to miss them. More than likely it also feeds into said mood and poor sociability and perhaps even her addiction to sugar considering how easily she gets sick without it. Granted, she also gets sick from something as simple as a greeting or dressing up to be prim and proper but again, poor social skills. If one didn't know any better you would think AA-12 is some sort of hikikomori though this doll is quick to prove she's no good-for-nothing slacker. While an official interview may state she's relatively new to Griffin fact she may in fact have a longer history with Griffin and Kryuger than one might think at first glance.
    • Physical violence is just not her thing. To her, it's quite uncivilized and primitive and the use of it is indicative of one's character. Guns are exempt from this, however. In fact, they're much of the opposite in her eyes. And the shotgun she wields is the quite the universal communicator. For that reason much of the House of Weapons disappoints her as they greatly outnumber those in the House of Firearms. Expect her to get into petty arguments with those who think differently about such weapons, such as Obi-Wan Kenobi.
    AA-12: I don't understand what's so civilized and elegant about a laser blade that's seen its fair share of impalement, bisection, and decapitation. Whether something is clumsy or random is likely the fault of that specific weapon or wielder themselves.
    • By looks alone you can tell she sees a lot of herself in Tomoko Kuroki and finds solidarity in that. It seems quite lost to AA-12 that by comparison Tomoko has matured a quite a lot after her first year in high school, becoming aware of her shortcomings of resentment and selfishness, and that by the third year she has earned quite the number of friends. Hell, she's quite the Clueless Chick-Magnet somehow. Mind you, she's not totally changed: She's still quite the cynic and perv, for example, but her friends look past that. Maybe spending some time with her will give AA-12 a bit of an epiphany of her own? Who knows.
    • Typically makes routine visits to the House of Food to get her fix for sweets, primarily lollipops but AA-12's not too picky. Any flavor will do also, so long as they aren't too weird. One trip to the edibles abode led to her running into Lemres and Stocking Anarchy. Then L Lawliet. And Kokonoe Mercury... and the Blood Team's Gretel too... Long story short in a small amount of time AA-12 managed to insert herself into this particular cavalcade just by having a taste for sugar. Didn't exactly know how she managed to accomplish such a thing but she'll take what she can get. Kokonoe and Gretel are interesting, though. They're like what she's heard about those eggheads up in IOP, but stranger somehow.
      • Her periodic craving for sugar to keep her going has lead some people to compare it to a drug addiction. In other words, some gods and goddesses has taken it upon themselves to label her as some sort of crackhead. She doesn't really like these comparisons as you may have guessed. It's a pretty quick way to push her buttons.
      • While we're still on the topic of sweets don't bring up the fact that there are some sentient candy entities like Princess Bubblegum walking around. Thinking about that makes her head-spin more than it sometimes does just by being awake. Or with sugar withdrawal. As a doll who doesn't subscribe to any God or faith she's already rationalized the existence of the Pantheon by just comparing it to some fancy real estate.
    • One day AA-12 was scrambling to get to a meeting with her allies after not only underestimating the time spent window shopping but also cutting through the traffic of people and vehicles. Through some miracle she managed to get to a subway with an empty seat open offered by a strange man named Dr. Zalost. Noticing how troubled she looked he offered her a cup of happy plums for her travels. AA-12 was thinking about politely refusing (or polite as she can manage) though while stocked up on sugar she didn't have much in the way of actual food this morning. And he didn't seem like that shady of a guy, even if the baby rat in hands is a bit freaky but also cute in a way. So, yeah, in the end she caved in and gave the plums a try. By the time AA-12 arrived to the meeting her fellow dolls have noted she's... way more chipper and awake than she usually was. In some cases it was almost off-putting, but it was welcome all the same. Since that day AA-12 has been seen with the now reformed doctor a bit more.
    • She has a name other than AA-12, a callsign/codename she goes by in Griffin: It's Lind. Yeah, Lind. Who knew, right? It's not something she has brought up all that well and considering her character it may be more comfortable for her to be referred to as AA-12 for the time being.
    • “It’s so idiotic to use physical violence like a primitive being. An advanced doll like myself should obviously solve problems in an advanced way.”
  • Vector only:
    • Radiating a pessimistic aura, one that can be felt in just about everything she says, Vector is also not that easy to get along with. Apparently, she's been this way ever since she was rolled out of the factory and into the brave new world. She is just a weapon as far as she is concerned, as the codename referring to the weapon she was Etched after quite clearly indicates. It's hard to grasp her heart though Vector's mindset is not totally unreasonable. She's cold, not heartless, and not only is Vector capable of shedding tears but will be a lot warmer to those who are more vulnerable emotionally. And ultimately Vector does cherish the friends she has, even if she doesn't quite wear her emotions like a sleeve unlike some dolls and humans.
    • She has a nickname, you know: It's Vivi. It was originally coined by her persistent and more cheerful comrade in arms, PP-90. At one point in the stress of things she snapped at her to stop calling her that among other issues but after one near-death experience involving a maniac with a scythe and make-up later they were both on good terms again. Vector even lets PP-90 call her Vivi though by that point it probably her just relenting. Still, progress to her heart was made.
    • If the anthology is anything to go off of apparently Vector is into video games judging by the time when she was the base's adjutant and ended up getting hooked on a gaming console she found laying around. The console in question belonged to RFB and Vector ended up getting roped into playing with her to avoid any weird rumors getting out. Both the AI and original Chiaki Nanamis caught wind of this and brought it up to her when she came by to drop something off from Chihiro but quickly assured her they didn't mean to dig up her secrets, the AI counterpart just accidentally picked up some information when Chihiro and 9S were reparing her Digimind. They won't dare blackmail her into playing with them but she's free do so of her own volition when she has the time. At first Vector didn't really consider taking their offer though only after the House of Gaming Styles got a bit dangerous from the Goat, the Goose, and the Rock of Ages' shenanigans did Vector come around eventually, even if in this case it was unwilling and to pass the time.
      • Her relationship with the Chiakis was what helped Vector get herself acquainted with the likes of Peko Pekoyama and Fuyuhiko Kuzuryu, two the of the original Chiaki's classmates back at Hope's Peak Academy. With their enemies from back home having been ascended in addition to other dangers that lurk in the Pantheon Vector has seen her fair share of use a bodyguard for the two of them. She wonders if her help is even needed that much considering how capable of a swordswoman Peko is but Vector chooses not to complain. If it's a mission she'll do it without any dissidence. In reality, Fuyuhiko has been hiring her to try and get at this "tool" mentality she (something she shares with Peko), fully knowing he'd make more progress by hiring her as opposed to just spending time normally where she'd just decline. Progress has been predictably slow, however.
    • She's a SMG grenadier type T-Doll with her bread and butter being incendiary grenades. As a result she's often thought to be a pyromaniac behind that deadpan demeanor, an image she is not particularly fond of as it inevitably leads her to being lumped with the likes of not only Team Fortress' Pyro but also the criminal known as Firefly aka Garfield Lynns and the literal burning men consisting of Cinder and SCP-457 in addition to other pyromaniacs seeking her out. The fact that she tends to be assigned to jobs in which the use of fire is recommend (ie. zombies and similar entities such as the Lost, the Tank and other Special Infected) hasn't really helped her case. Neither does the "trance" she enters upon taking some enhancement pills.
      • At one point, Vector and a few other gods unwittingly managed to get in the crossfire of Firefly and Dingodile's burning sprees. While the group tried to keep their heads down and avoid them as much as possible before escaping the escalating damage done to the area has just not made that possible. Thus, to save the rest and the place itself from further destruction she ended up being forced to draw their attention and in the scuffle against them Vector managed to get at Dingodile's fuel tanks. She underwent some serious burns but she did ultimately escape and doesn't look forward to meeting the two of them ever again.
    • If there was a silver lining to the above incident it would probably be Vector soon meeting Blaze the Cat. Commanding control over fire she thankfully was not another maniac and was by contrast quite the stoic figure, one who nevertheless was unambiguously heroic. You could say the two share some similar demeanor, although Blaze is warmer by way of comparison.
    • "My origins, my prototype... are all meaningless. After all, I’m just a tool that follows orders.”

  • Ascended into the main pantheon, Akane Tsunemori was originally a rookie Inspector assigned at the Bureau's Criminal Investigation Division Unit 1. Her idealistic nature makes her works well with the Enforcers, except for for her colleague Nobuchika Ginoza since she often clashes with their different ideals. As she learned more about the true nature of the Sibyl System, she became more cynical although she still retains her idealism while she became a more capable officer due to her experience in her profession and became the de facto leader of Unit 1.
  • She become close friends with Takatora Kureshima since the Armored/New Generation Rider reminds her of Shinya Kogami due to their similarities while she express her sympathy for him after learning of him being betrayed by Professor Ryoma Sengoku. Speaking of Ryoma, she also develops a disdain towards the Mad Scientist due to his actions of committing atrocities in the name of Science which makes him no different from the likes of Misako Togane.
  • She is somewhat gets along with Chiaki Nanami, Charlotte Dunois, and Rana Linchen, especially since their voices whenever they speak in Japanese sounds similar to each other.
  • Has made new allies in the pantheon especially with idealistic Hope Bringers like Madoka Kaname, Kouta Kazuraba, Haruto Soma, Judai Yuki, Yuma Tsukumo, Makoto and Komaru Naegi, Flynn, Yu Narukami, and Kenshiro, since she admires their determination and they never lost hope in spite of desperate times while she also might join their cause to spread hope to others. Also she is especially close to Madoka and Kouta since they had the same superior in Gen Urobuchi.
    • Other than Haruto, she is quite get along well with the Kamen Riders who also fought alongside the police force like Yusuke Godai and Shouichi Tsugami, since her profession as a police detective reminding them of Rinko Daimon, Kaoru Ichijo, and Makoto Hikawa respectively. Since then, she is seen assisting them in their battles against their respective enemies.
    • Also became close to to fellow Idealistic deities in the pantheon such as Sayaka Miki, Shinji Kido, Collete Brunel, and Right of the ToQgers, due to their similar traits, Right also pointed out that the voice of of her Dominator is kinda sound similar to his team's foe Miss Glitta, which the Inspector was surprised about hearing this.
  • While roaming in the pantheon, Inspector Tsunemori is somewhat confused for having the same given name shared with other Goddesses in the Pantheon, such as the Pretty Cure named Akane Hino, the Vivid Team member Akane Isshiki, and Akane Inukawa. However, Inspector Tsunemori quickly befriended the other three Akanes after they shared their respective stories to her.
  • At one point, she had once mistook Kazuto Kirigaya for being "Kirito Kamui" after she heard of his name that she might be him being around in this pantheon, however Asuna pointed out that she's pursuing the wrong man as Kazuto's name "Kirito" is just his in-game name before they explain of their own stories to her, upon learning this, Akane became friends with them ever since.
  • While she is friends with many Kamen Riders in the pantheon, she has a mixed feelings toward Yoko Minato since the female New Generation Rider's methods put them at odds while both of them also shared their hate towards Ryoma Sengoku at the same time.
    • She also had the same situation with Kiritsugu Emiya as his actions of being a Pragmatic Hero and his Cynical view of life has made her question his true motives as well.
  • She is one of the few Goddesses that caught in the conflict between her fellow Nitro+ characters as she assist them in their battles.
    • Along the way, she became friends with Arturia since she admired her ideals as a king while Arturia also has the same reactions to her
    • On the other hand, she became enemies with Saya for being a monster who assumed a form of a human girl with a tendency of being a yandere which makes her no different from the likes of every latent criminals the Inspector faced.
  • She literally hates Shogo Makishima since he made alot of atrocities back in their own universe, especially after he killed her best friend Yuki Funahara in front of her. Also after she became aware of his presence in the pantheon, Akane is determine to stop Shogo's chaotic plans to ensure the safety of many in the pantheon.
    • Also gaining the odds between her and Yuno Gasai after learning her actions of joining Makishima's side along with the rest of her fellow yanderes which makes them a dangerous threat that must be stop as the best she can.
  • Due to her profession as a officer, she made enemies with every criminals in the pantheon, like Johan Liebert as his actions reminding her too much of Makishima, The Joker due to him committing numerous crimes in Gotham City, and Jinx for committing terrorism that causes chaos in her surroundings.

  • Domains: Cynicism, Soldiers, Vigilantes, Justice
  • Allies:
  • Enemies: Reaper, Widowmaker, HYDRA, Odio, Skull Face, Vladimir Makarov
  • Conflicting Opinion: Big Boss, The House of Heroism, but especially Commander Shepard
  • The mysterious vigilante and the most wanted "criminal" of his world, Soldier: 76 is a complete mystery to anyone who ever heard of him. Rumors indicate that he may be an Ex-Overwatch agent looking for answers behind the fall of Overwatch, whose methods put him at odds with the official authorities. In truth, the man behind the mask is none other than Jack Morrison, former commander of Overwatch, who was believed dead after an accident he was caught up in a Swiss facility. Certainly, that wasn't enough to take the old Morrison down and he is now on the run looking for the culprits of his downfall.
    • Although he isn't very interested in the whole Pantheon business, he accepted this position only to search for information about the incident of Overwatch. We recommend that you don't waste his time because, while he definitely means good, he is not very nice.
    • He is now much nicer and more patient when heard of the news that one of his oldest friends and former Overwatch second-in-command Ana Amari has ascended into the Pantheon.
  • Odio has noted that Soldier's backstory is very similar to what he used to be when he was Oersted. The two being two celebrated heroes that were victims of a betrayal of a close friend. But while Odio curses humanity, 76 merely lost his idealism but still try to fight for a good cause, even if he's cynic as hell about it. Odio is always telling him that they're not so different and that he will end up like him. 76's response?
    Soldier: 76: "Maybe, but that 'maybe' is not today. Until then, shut up."
  • He respects Kiritsugu and complete sympathizes with what he has gone through. He is one of the few people that he personally asked for assistance in his quest to unmantle the ones who took down overwatch. While Kiritsugu isn't sure if he will involve himself in the whole Overwatch business, he certainly agrees with 76's cynical views of the world to consider aiding him on his crusade.
  • As the holder of The Cynic, Soldier: 76 can really understand Athrun Zala's position and they both share the same cynical view on war. Athrun also suggested making an alliance with the vigilante in order to take down the terroristic organizations that plague the Pantheon, including Reaper. While 76 has really little interest in helping him, he hasn't turned down his offer and he believes that later down the road he will join him anyway.
    Soldier: 76: "Old habits die hard I guess..."
  • Being a former hero from the Overwatch organization, Soldier: 76 has been described as "Captain America fused with The Punisher". Though he indeed respects both men for what they stand for, as 76 can very well identify with them.
  • Has found a friend of sort in Big Boss, of all people, who empathize with what he went through, which is almost exactly the same fate that Big Boos suffered. As such, both pledged to help each other.
    • That said, 76 still don't fully trust the other soldier, seeing as he crossed lines 76 would never do.
    • He's also quite conflicted with Commander Shepard, as while he can respect Shepard when in Renegade mode, he's a bit disillusioned on the Paragon mode, as it reminds him of his days as Jack Morrison... only succeeding against all odds instead of miserably failing in the end like him. No, he's not jealous, really.
  • Sometimes, 76 completely drops his Cynic personality and become what deities Nickname as "Dad: 76", where he becomes a father figure to the younger members of the Pantheon, bordering levels of Papa Wolf, not to mention that his 'Biotic Field' tastes like breakfast to his 'kids' ("C'mere and get stabilized!"). Don't ever think of harming his children, as he's got you in his sights.
  • People who regularly see him say that he never takes off his mask and visor. And we mean, never, not even when he is eating or drinking
  • Surprisingly enough, he gets along with Captain Price and Alex Mason, given their similar pasts, especially when dealing with falling organizations and betrayal. Though a few people may jokingly remark that 76 behaves a lot like them, much to his chagrin.
  • To the surprise of no one, he has a really low opinion towards the House of Heroism, probably because he finds the idealistic heroes too naive for his taste. On their part, many have pointed that even though he still does Heroic things and they even asked him if he considers himself a hero. His response?
    Soldier: 76: "Not anymore..."
  • Occasionally likes to camouflage when on duty. Reports have stated that his camouflage was so effective that he was basically invisible for a time.
  • During a visit by Ana to his place, she discovered a picture of him with a man named Vincent and it was revealed that Vincent was none other than his ex-boyfriend. Beyond the reveal of where his orientation, it was revealed that Vincent was yet another aspect of tragedy, as Soldier 76's dedication fractured their relationship.

  • Pities: Zim
  • Usually when people have the option of doing something the right or wrong way, especially if the latter will lead to catasrophe, they would pick the right way. But not everyone adheres to this. In fact, one teenager actually prefers to do things the wrong way. This teenager is Milo Murphy, descendant of Edward Murphy, the man who coined term "Murphy's Law". Milo was Born Unlucky, yet he feels lucky to have Murphy's Law because he feels life is an adventure. After all, what's more exciting, taking a bus to school, or being chased to school by a pack of wild llamas? So the optimistic Milo just enjoys life as much as possible no matter how much misfortune comes by in his everyday life.
  • The Court of the Gods looked over Milo's case and were rather stumped and interested in his story. Namely, how he acknowledges and embraces Murphy's Law, going through life with barely a care in the world despite being a Walking Disaster Area. The Court of the Gods send an invitation to Milo to become a god in the pantheon, and Milo was interested in seeing the Pantheon's wonders and agreed to enter. Despite bad luck ensuing in even in the Pantheon, Milo is hardly fazed and instead marvels at the many wonders the Pantheon has offer. From that point onward, Milo became the Living Embodiment of Murphy's Law.
  • Milo got a welcomed surprised when he crossed paths Phineas, Ferb, and Cadence, having once teamed up with them to fight against the pistachions when they were turning their loved ones into their own kind. Milo was all too happy to see some familiar faces in the Pantheon, especially those he teamed up with in the past. However, he also got a bigger surprise when he met his houseguest Dr. Doofenshmirtz, aka the future Professor Time, as well as Perry the Platypus, the doctor's Friendly Enemy/Partner. Milo also showed his joy when he saw the two in the Pantheon, and when Doof and Perry aren't interacting, the former tends to hang out with Milo as a guest in his temple.
  • He tends to visit the House of Misfortune, knowing that he'll survive since he's experienced Murphy's Law for years. Milo tends to interact with residents who suffered for their bad luck (Eizen), were Born Unlucky (Arthur and Anne Hanakoizumi), or unintentionally brought misfortune to others (Qrow). All of them were surprised that he accepts his misfortune as a part of his everyday, but he explains that what makes life all the more fun. Because of this, he gets along tremendously well with Arthur and Anne, both of whom were very cheerful despite their bad luck, so the three discuss what they can do when going on adventures. Milo shows sympathy for Eizen, Qrow, and Sophie after hearing what they had to go through in life, which is why he wants to help them through their troubles.
    • Milo tends to meet with other deities who suffered from bad luck, such as Zak Saturdaynote , Jackie Channote , and Bensonnote . Milo tends to help these deities look for the positives of their bad luck, though at the same time, he wants to make sure they don't spread bad luck to innocent peoplenote . Results varied, but these deities are appreciative of Milo's kindness.
    • Yuuko has heard of Milo, another person with bad luck that nevertheless keeps a positive attitude regardless, but she's just as surprised as everyone else that accepts and embraces it as part of his daily life. The two of them became great friends, with Yuuko hoping to learn more about accepting her misfortune as an adventure. Yuuko likes to share her jokes and puns with Milo, with the latter not really seeing it as funny but still too polite to say it.
    • Charlie Brown tends to get the short-end of the stick, especially when comes to trying to kick a football (mostly because Lucy tends to pull the football away at the last second, leading Charlie to fall flat on his back). When Milo kicks the ball, it ends up causing a chain of events that ends up that lead to misfortune to whoever he sides with. The two bond over their bad luck, with Charlie surprised by how well Milo takes it in stride, while Milo sympathizes with Charlie after hearing of what he had to go through. He was also outright shocked when he got blamed for costing his team the game even though it wasn't his fault at all, making this one of the few times he gets angry at something bad.
    • Touma Kamijou can be considered a foil to Milo, since he also has supernatural bad luck that makes his life chaotic and leads him to go on adventures. They're also both kind people, having a lot of friends and companions, but whereas Milo embraces his bad luck, Touma hates his misfortune but is willing to endure for his loved ones's sake. That being said, the two got along really well in spite of this, with Milo sympathizing with Touma's struggle while Touma shows some confusion for Milo's philosophy. It's discovered that Touma's right hand can also negate Milo's bad luck, just like how it negates Touma's normal luck, so Milo tends to keep his distance from Touma's hand.
  • Usually when Milo is around, llamas tend to follow. So naturally, Kuzco is annoyed when Milo's misfortune leads him to get turned into a llama once again, more so when he ends up getting lost among a herd of llamas. The llamas themselves dislike Kuzco, and all of Kuzco's allies spend hours trying to find among the herd. Despite Milo helping in the search, Kuzco is still annoyed with Milo's bad luck, so he prefers to keep his distance, though he at still acts nice towards him.
  • Gets along with benevolent time traveling entities, having known Doof's future self and what he has accomplished. Milo shows sympathy for Future Trunks after hearing what he had endure and lose, and is even horrified after hearing of what happened to his world and time. Benevolent time deities such as Chronoa and the Doctor get along with him well, but they prefer not to let him get involved unless it's absolutely necessary since his Murphy's Law tends to be a double-edged sword. Evil time deities on the other hand, hope to exploit Milo's bad luck, something that Milo won't stand for. Milo makes it clear that while he will endure danger, he's not the type to intentionally cause or seek it out, and he'll oppose anyone who intends to exploit him.
  • Nagito Komaeda has luck that varies between good and bad, but his luck has lead to some serious repercussion, as it led to the death of his parents and him developing a complete obsession with the concept of hope. Milo Murphy is a little disturbed by some of Nagito's tendencies, since while he does accustomed to danger, he would never seek it out, yet also sympathizes with Nagito after hearing of his condition. Nagito in turn has asked if Milo has his Murphy's Law was a result of talent, with Milo hastily explaining that's just his way of life. Milo has since preferred to keep his distance from Nagito.
  • Milo has fought against evil plants before in the pistachions, so he is understandably wary about dangerous plant enemies. So when he crossed paths with Cyth V'sug, Audrey II, and Mordremoth, Milo knew just dangerous they were and promised to help the good guys put a stop to them. These enemies in turn have heard of how Milo and his allies were able to stop the pistachions with Wyatt Burp orange soda, so they plan to get rid of any chemicals that can prove toxic to them before the heroes have a chance to exploit it.
  • There was one deity in particular that perked his interests. The man's luck works a lot like his own except in this case it goes away whenever he undoes all the bad he has done over the years. That man was Earl Hickey. Moved by the man's efforts, Milo paid him a visit and gave him various equipment to help Earl out in case karma is particularly nasty towards him.
  • Zim has heard of Milo Murphy's bad luck streak and has learned of the negative probability ions swarming him. Zim has become eager to exploit these ions as part of his next world domination scheme, and seeks to capture Milo. Unfortunately for him, Milo's bad luck leads his plan backfire horribly, leaving his laboratory destroyed. Milo can only express pity for Zim, since despite being an alien conqueror, he's blinded by his delusions of grandeur.
  • Milo tends to visit the House of Knowledge, researching various topics, especially fire trucks. Milo has always had a fascination for fire engines ever since he was a child, so he's very knowledgeable of the vehicle. Milo is a good source of information when it comes to various bits of trivia, and is also very knowledgeable when it comes to survival tactics, which comes in handy when it comes Murphy's Law hurting him.
    • Milo also spends time in the House of Craft to help build things needed to help the Pantheon prepare for Murphy's Law, as well as to fix things that have been destroyed in the process. Milo's help is much appreciated by the Pantheon, and he's allowed to get to work and fix whatever his bad luck has caused. He's also allowed brief, but significant trips into the House of Machinery and Technology when his mechanic skills are needed.
  • It's highly recommended not to takeover Milo's theme song. Dr. Doofenshmirtz already tried that once, and ended up in the hospital for his troubles. Because of this, only deities who can avoid getting seriously injures or are Nigh-Invulnerable are allowed to take part in the theme song, and even then, it's recommended to be prepared for any injuries one may get.

Alfred "Al" Bundy, God of Jaded Washouts

  • Domain(s): Failure, Frustration, Misery, Dreams (Thwarted)
  • Heralds (much to his frustration): Peggy (his wife), Kelly and Bud (his children), Marcy Rhoades/D'Arcy and Jefferson D'Arcy (his neighbors)
  • Allies: Kenny McCormick, Otacon, Dan Hibiki, Homer Simpson, Barney Gumble, The Wilkerson Family, Dave Lizewski/Kick-Ass, Ricky Ricardo, BoJack Horseman, Squidward Tentacles, Archie Bunker, Fred Flintstone
  • Rivals: Gomez and Morticia Addams (because they're more successful than him)
  • Enemies: Amanda Waller
  • Odd Friendship: Dory
  • Opposes/Opposed by: Every French deity, most women (especially plus-sized women), feminists, debt collectors, the House of Law and Justice
  • Avoids: Turanga Leela
  • Was initially elated to learn that he was ascending to Godhood, thinking it a long-deserved reward for a lifetime of thwarted ambition and failure. He also relished the chance to get away from his Dysfunctional Family, but in order for him to maintain his character so as to remain worthy of his position, they came to live with him as heralds.
    • Tired of being considered a loser, Al Bundy made his case to the Court of the Gods. He claimed that he couldn't be considered a loser because he once ruled high school with an iron fist and could have become greater under certain circumstances. Normally this statement would be laughed out of the court, but the Judge had another idea in mind. He stated if he could find someone within the audience who is as much of a loser as him, he could take another spot. Hours came by, but he couldn't find someone dumb enough to take the chance. That is until he found a has-been superhero desperate to return to the Pantheon. Bundy gave him an opportunity and he accepted. Thus it was official: Al Bundy would get the slightly less humiliating role of Jaded Washout.
  • Currently runs a woman's shoe store at the foot of the steps leading to the Pantheon houses. Despite there being relatively few of them that visit the Pantheon, it never fails to be routinely visited by obese females. Al suspects that the other gods in the Pantheon arrange this as a joke, but is too unmotivated to try and do anything about it.
  • Much to Amanda Waller's annoyance, she occasionally is forced to visit Al's shoe shop. Both hate each other, but find the experience of trading barbs and belittling and spiting each other as highly therapeutic, especially now both have each other's measure and know exactly which buttons to push.
  • Shares a wonderful friendship with Homer Simpson. Although Bundy admits he hangs around partially because he feels even he can't fail as much as Homer, the two genuinely share their sob stories about their families. Homer hopes that he can help Bundy to try and become a better father, especially not that he is no longer the God of Failure.
  • Is uneasy whenever he's around Turanga Leela, whose voice reminds Al of his nagging wife Peggy.
  • Even if he's unpopular and unlucky, Al somehow made a friend out of a fish, Dory, who decided to approach him because he sounds like her octopus friend Hank.
  • Malcolm can't help but wonder if his show was a precursor for just how messed up their family is. But unlike most other sitcom rivals, the two hardly ever try to one up each other. Mostly because they don't really have anything to claim in the first place.
  • Tired of being called out of shape, he decided to go to the House of Combat to find someone who could whip him up to shape. Surprisingly, the search was a short one. The client? Dan Hibiki. He made a bet with Ryo that he could train someone who could beat Yuri within a week's time. Al Bundy happened to be just the desperate man he got. It went as well as one would expect, but the two kept in touch. Both were impressed with the other's determination to come out on top, even though that hardly ever happens.
  • For anyone wanting to date his daughter Kelly... just don't. It is the one thing that can get you to lose a fist fight with the man. There is nothing that would keep him from protecting his daughter at all times.
  • Has made it his personal mission to become just as successful of a couple with Peggy as the Addams couple. Unfortunately, he can't seem to even match functional families never mind the more tightly knit ones. It doesn't help that Peggy can't seem to be satisfied no matter how hard he tries.
    • But one time she made a mistake of calling him a loser who never amounted to anything, Al's response to her unlike his usual barbs, earned him the praise and admiration of many in the Pantheon
    So you think I'm a loser? Just because I have a stinking job that I hate, a family that doesn't respect me, and a whole city that curses the day I was born? Well, that may mean loser to you, but let me tell you something. Every morning when I wake up, I know it's not going to get any better until I go back to sleep again. So I get up, have my watered-down Tang and my still-frozen Pop Tart. I get in my car with no upholstery, no gas, and six more payments. To fight traffic just for the privilege of putting cheap shoes onto the cloven hooves of people like you. I'll never play football like I thought I would. I'll never know the touch of a beautiful woman. And I'll never again know the joy of driving without a bag on my head. But I'm not a loser. Because, despite it all, me and every other guy who'll never be what he wanted to be, are still out there being what we don't want to be, forty hours a week, for life. And the fact that I haven't put a gun in my mouth, you pudding of a woman, makes me a winner!
  • Ricky Ricardo sees Al as an inspiration that all other American fathers should strive to be, much to the surprise of the God of Jaded Washouts. The ego boost does help ease the pain, and the two became close friends in no time.

  • Quasideities
  • Symbols: The 2 families on a rock with the water oppositely showing their reflections.
  • Theme Song: Opening, alternatively Belt of Faith
  • Alignment: Arguably, both qualify for Chaotic Neutral or True Neutral, but it can also be both.
  • Portfolios:
  • Domains: the Rich and the Poor, Social Status, Nuclear Families, Parasities (metaphorically)
  • Heralds: Min (Ki-woo's student/friend), the Parks' old helpers: Moon-gwang and Geun-se
  • Allies: Agnes, Anna, Karin and Maria, The Simpsons Family
  • Enemies: Both families' allies are interchanged but notable is Dong-ik's uncaring personality towards the poor.
  • Commonality Connection: Annie Leonhart (for Chung-sook), Trip and Grace (for Dong-ik and Yeon-kyo), The Wilkerson Family, The Mishima Family
  • Disappointed by: Jay Gatsby, Charles Kane, Perrine H. Clostermann (for the Parks as a whole), Victor Van Dort and Victoria Everglot
  • Rivals: Tomie Kawakami (for the Kims)
  • Pitied by: Sarah Crewe, Charlie Bucket
  • Enemy Mine with: Paul and Peter
  • Hates: Each other (minus their children), for Dong-ik, poor people in general.
  • The social classes between the rich and the poor can change one or more people's lives as the boundary of fortune mostly revolves on the former than the latter, but what happens when it is flown to the other side? Well this is what happens to these two families. The Kims, who are an extremely poor family are smart and resourceful, able to lie and create deceit towards others. On the other side are the Parks, a wealthy rich family (though family is a more generous term for them) who act as if they are in the top of the world for their wealth. When the Parks chooses to hire the Kims' son, Kim Ki-woo into the household as a teacher, the downfall of the two families begin in what can be described as a masquerade between the two, but most importantly was how the Kims were able to successfully leech the Parks' wealth during the course of their actions while at the same time, the Parks' own distaste and treatment towards the lower classes also slowly takes over the Kims own patience. Essentially, parasites to their own.
  • To shorten the two families, the Kims are a smart, if not very deceitful, bunch who will do anything to succeed when it comes to leeching off the fortunes of anyone they meet. They have the skills and toolsets for any perfect profession... but remain unwilling to even strive for those goals, hence why they prefer going after the rich. And out of all the rich families they have encountered are the Parks, a slowly dwindling family that, while rich on the outside, are very dysfunctional on the inside, with 2 of their children very unwitty, their mother unable to do any simple household chores and their father being an arrogant corporate prick, yet for some reason are still together despite the conflicts surrounding them.
  • Their presence in the Pantheon was unnoticed by many deities as they thought the two families were nothing more but visitors, however, the message that the two have brought with them such as the division of both the rich and poor and how both sides are prone to be in the wrong like the Parks' own uncaring attitude towards the poor to the Kims' willingness to kill when their deceit is being unraveled as well as their habit of ruining other people's jobs for their benefit became a highlight to their ascension, so much that the Court of the Gods brought both families in as a response to the message.
  • Despite their social differences, one noticeable similarity is their family structure, overall both families seem to have both a father and mother and two kids of both genders. This becomes important as the families, especially the kids do have developed relationships with each other, as opposed to the parents who seem to be on the fence against each other, especially with Dong-ik, who almost always treats the poor with little respect, outside of telling how smelly they are.
    • This unique structure the family possesses was seen by the Simpsons family, who seem to be the bridge between the poor and rich social structure as the family have gone many tribulations from near bankruptcy to outright rich endevours. As for their response, the Parks' father Dong-ik has refused to collaborate with them, their mother Yeon-kyo has been getting motherly lessons from Marge and the kids are rather reluctant to interact to both Bart and Lisa, outside of Da-song learning some Native American facts from Lisa. On the other hand, both Ki-taek and Homer do go very well with each other as they drink beer while Chung-sook avoids Marge due to her roughness towards the rich and perhaps even the middle class and the two children don't really talk much outside of Bart looking at Ki-jeong with curiosity and Lisa forced to teach Ki-woo actual english.
    • The family structures however does not help the dysfunctional status of the two families. For all the Kims skills comes their laziness and the Parks are basically all over the places similar to a bottle filled with different colors. The Wilkerson Family saw this, and while none of the family members saw this outside of pure similarity, their son, Malcolm sees eerie similarities deeper from the surface, such as Lois' parenting to Dong-ik's, Hal's near uselessness to Yeon-kyo, Reese's status as the family's dumbass son to Ki-woo and perhaps himself to both Ki-woo and Ki-jeong for their smart and lazy mindset.
    • As if it wasn't bad enough, their familial relationships are near similar to another heavily broken family, the Mishima family, with the very bloodthirsty feud between Kazuya and Heihachi Mishima and the troubled pasts of both Jin Kazama and Jun Kazama. While the entire troubled pasts are non existent to the family duos and that the bloodshed was very little compared to the Mishima debacle, there is certainly some similarity of broken familial relationships here and there.
  • The two families and their relationship as master and maids brought the attention of four women: Agnes, Anna, Karin and Maria, who took notice of the two families and saw the connection. However, the other sisters see more than that, with Maria being rather sympathetic to the Kims and for being rather similar in both being manipulative and adept liars, while Karin understands the issues going on with Dong-ik and Yeon-kyo. Agnes was rather saddened to hear the fate that befell both families and could see how even in any class would always cause issues, be it rich or poor.
  • Both families have been pitied by two children, Sarah Crewe and Charlie Bucket, both of who have gone through the hardships of being poor and came from rags to riches. Sarah believes the Kims need to change their mindsets so that they can have their lives changed while Charlie is rather displeased with how the Parks are so separated even with all the resources and riches they have acquired.
  • Social status has been a big theme among the two, so much that its what dictates both families, be it the Kims' two-faced skill and the Parks' luxurious lifestyles. This sad truth is what both Victor and Victoria heard the moment the family ascended as the two married each other for the sake of elevating the social classes both were placed into. After hearing the string of events that lead to Ki-jeong and Dong-ik's deaths alongside the old helpers and the near death of Ki-woo, their pity for the social hierarchy and on both sides only grew, and soon both of them were worried on behalf of their own social classes if the same conflict may happen to them.
  • At one point, the two families were reached out by two men with white clothing, asking if they could borrow some eggs. As they set up the first game for the two families to interact with, they were met with anger from the two fathers, with Ki-taek sick of Dong-ik's comments against him, and Chung-sook bringing out a knife in front of him, while Yeon-kyo passed out due to all the ensuring chaos and the siblings of both families are simply watching the parents against each other. Then in an surprise visit from the Parks' old helpers, Moon-gwang and Geun-se, did the tides turn against the Kims as their children were slowly getting killed one by one. The aftermath of the chaos led to both Paul and Peter satisfied with the carnage from the two families and decided not to play the games, instead willing to watch the two against each other from time to time.
  • The Kims are extremely poor, so much that almost all of them are simply running temporary jobs with no credentials whatsoever with their father Ki-taek running most of those, but that is made up for their reourcefulness and intelligent skills in the art of scamming anyone who they see as worth stealing from, such as their daughter Ki-jeong who is pretty much the master of all their con scheming and Ki-woo who acts as the writer/director of the plans while their mother Chung-sook acts like the muscle of the group. This mindset of theirs is what puts them always poor, as their minds are not so much as focusing on getting decent jobs, but stealing from others.
    • After their ascensions, the Kims started having newer opportunities to explore. Ki-jeong decided to go back to her Jessica moniker while Ki-woo started going back to his name as Kevin and explore being a hired tutor for the family, while Ki-taek got more opportunities as a driver (and other jobs) and Chung-sook is watching the family so that all of them remain together no matter the costs.
    • This mindset of theirs is counter-opposite to a fellow poor man Chester A. Bum, who the family calls him to be a raving lunatic of the annoying kind. However, they do sometimes go to hime for some tips on how to live the poor life, as Chester is very experienced in the poor settlement more than anyone in the Pantheon knows.
    • For a while, Chung-sook was approached by a blonde woman, who approached her with respect on her part. While she shrugged it away at first, she later realised she was talking to a person who represented her skill of being More Deadly Than the Male. She announced herself as Annie Leonhardt and saw her brutal skill as an athlete put into the real world to be something very remarked at. When the mother asked if she was ever rich, Annie could only respond with:
    Annie: "Riches? There are no riches on my world, unless you consider blood to be that."
    • When Omar Little heard about the family's notoriety when it comes to cons and ponzi schemes. He payed them a visit and noticed how both of them are pretty much poor people, unafraid of the type of people they are willing to cross. This earned The Terror's respect very much that he is a very welcome visitor to the family.
    • Outside of him, Ochako has been taking small visits from the Kims from time to time. While her family has warned her of the Kims' swindling schemes, she has good faith that her helping them will possibly change their mindset for the better, as opposed to being stuck in an endless loop of stealing.
    • The news of the Kims' own swindling schemes came unnoticed when Tomie Kawakami saw what the family was planning outside of just stealing fortune from the Parks. In an attempt to steal their fortune, she seduced their son Ki-woo and came Chung-sook and Ki-jeong getting rid of her to keep her away from their son. That would not be the last however as she has taken attempts to not only swoon on him but on Ki-taek as well, seeing that the family are rivals when it comes to the stealing and leeching of wealth from others.
    • On the other side of the globe however, the same poor-rich scenario that occurred to them appeared on Gotham after an incident that was related with the Joker. While the Kims wanted to see the events, what they found from the news was that this Joker was far different from the original incarnation, a man by the name of Arthur Fleck took the Joker persona and caused havoc and chaos towards society with the poor-rich relationship being just a side-effect of the riots. Nonetheless, this version of the Joker sympathizes with the family and promises that those people like the Parks will suffer the same pain they inflicted on them.
    • "You know what kind of plan never fails? No plan. No plan at all. You know why? Because life cannot be planned."
  • The Parks are a very rich family, so rich that they act aristocratic when it comes to their behaviour, but that costed them their bonds, as the family is less than an actual family and more of a group of uncoordinated individuals. Their children are very rambunctious, especially their son Da-song who seems to think of the artistic type (even though many people think otherwise) though much less their daughter Da-hye, who is rather observant in some cases, their mother Yeon-kyo is clueless about anything related to housework, hence why she relies on maids or househelpers, and their father Dong-ik, while supplying the family with riches, ends up being having the biggest disdain towards anyone and an arrogance that clearly put him at a disadvantage despite being an upper class.
    • While their ascension was being finished, Dong-ik decided to establish his tech firm in the family's temple to continue their wealth, while Yeon-kyo was trying to finish her list of things to accomplish prior to them moving to a temple. Da-song ended entering the House of Cultures to see more of the native Indians and Da-hye ended up just watching all of this from the perch of her room.
    • Thanks to all the richness they have, that lead the family to interest with the Reagans, who themselves are rich as well. Because of the family's cluelessness, they seem to accept their presence, and their father is the one that accepts their invitations considering that both are in the upper class, even though the Reagans in particular have a record of disrespect that would even rival Dong-ik's own attitude.
    • Upper class student Byakuya Togami took a small interest on the family and is interested with working alongside Dong-ik, though his reaction towards the other family members are not the same. For one, he sees Yeon-kyo nearly useless and her children hard to communicate with. What he doesn't know is that compared to the two of them, the father is more of the arrogant douche than Byakuya is.
      • Another thing that Byakuya noted amongst the two families was their children. In his family, the entire 11 children of the Togami household were essentially Social Darwinists who would go for every method to earn their parents trust and fortune. After going through all the tribulations and hardships of the family, seeing both the families' own children going well together without the entire competition mindset (and actually gaining bonds towards each other) is a breath of fresh air for him.
    • For those wondering what is happening behind the scenes with Yeon-kyo and her husband, its a rather long story. Despite being married with him for a long time, the couple's toleration to each other is a rather all time low. In fact, he basically treat's her as a Trophy Wife and not an actual love interest, so much that is has slowly broken her many times. This feeling is something both Trip and Grace has unfortunately felt after their marriage, so much that hearing Yeon-kyo's experiences with him has left both slowly reconsidering their marriage facade and at the same time, trying to remedy the situation with her.
    • The tales of the rich Parks was not received well by two known rich figures: Jay Gatsby and Charles Kane, who saw the Parks to be a true testament to the perils of being very rich. Gatsby in particular feels extreme disappointment with Dong-ik's disdain towards anyone, especially the poor while Kane's response to this is with contempt due to how unstructured the family is despite all the wealth they have, a case that Kane had suffered and died of as a result.
      • Another took notice of the Parks and noted them as a harsh lesson of being rich, that being Perrine Clostermann. Considering that she had to sacrifice all her riches, including her life for the sake of hometown, seeing a family even with such envious riches yet still broken towards each other disheartens her and is rather glad that she sacrificed all the riches she ever had.
  • Both families' very first temple can be spotted in the House of Commerce, under Poverty and Riches.
