History Pantheon / FamilyDynamics

* Suguroku Muto (or Solomon Moto [[DubNameChange if you're watching the English dub]]) is the grandfather of famed duelist Yugi Muto and owner of the Kame Game shop. In his youth he was an archeologist who visited the Valley of the Kings in hopes of finding the tomb of the Nameless Pharaoh [[spoiler:aka Pharaoh Atem]], being the one to find the Millennium Puzzle, though he was never able to solve it. Interestingly, in a past life he was that pharaoh's Grand Vizier, Shimon Muran, and wielded Exodia. Suguroku is a skilled player of games and a gambler who rarely lost, though one of the few times he did it led to him wearing overalls and retiring. Now he's content running his game shop, and serving as a mentor for his grandson Yugi. Occasionally he has gone out to play Duel Monsters like dueling with Jonouchi in [=KaibaCorps=] Grand Prix. He's a close friend of Rebecca Hopkin's grandfather Arthur, and she initially tried to challenge him for a duel to get back his Blue Eyes card. However the two eventually patched things out and befriended him and Yugi.

* He had met Judai/Jaden and friends "the long way round" at his card shop [[Anime/YuGiOhGX where even in his eighties he still was as chipper maintaining his shop]]. He helped guide them through the city in return, but unfortunately he got kidnapped by Thunder and Frost. Jaden and his friends managed to find and rescue him, and he gave them some hamburgers for their trouble. Overall, Sugoroku is generally friendly and doesn't hold a grudge, though he's still somewhat sore around Seto Kaiba and Pegasus; the former beat him and destroyed his Blue Eyes card, leading to him going to the hospital, and the latter stole his soul as part of his scheme. He's on speaking terms with them because they ultimately turned a new leaf, but they're otherwise neutral. Ultimately he only really opposes the unrepentant villains who threatened his grandson (and the world, given the scope of their plans). Yugi's grandfather is on really good terms with Exodia, interestingly enough. As mentioned, his previous life in Ancient Egypt had Exodia as his ''ka'', and he used to have Exodia in his playset.
* He's been trying to catch up with [[Pantheon/YuGiOh the protagonists of Yu-Gi-Oh series]] [[Anime/YuGiOh5Ds 5Ds]] and beyond, studying their adventures so he can better understand the later Duel Monsters meta. Yes their series are either far enough in the future he's probably passed of old age, and/or a different timeline altogether, but since he owns a Duel Monsters game shop he wants to be informed. He got some help with the updates and suggestions on how to boost sales from Aldo and Arnold. They were [[RaisedByGrandparents raised by their grandparents]] and are generally kind-hearted individuals, so they were happy to help. The two like swapping stories with the old man whenever they visit the shop for gaming accessories. Sometimes he can be seen visiting [[Pantheon/ChefsAndEstablishments the Cabbage Merchant]] to pick up cabbages, musing that [[Creator/JamesSie he sounds like his friend Uncle Chan]].

* Darth Vader is the incredibly powerful and utterly feared Dark Lord of the Sith, leading the frontlines of the Galactic Empire with steadfast brutality and authority with his sheer presence. A being with potent supernatural powers drawn from a cosmic source known as The Force, Vader achieved infamy throughout the galaxy as he campaigned with his troops to scout out and eliminate any of the Empire's enemies and threats whilst enforcing his viewpoint on what he saw as benefitting the galaxy by order. In spite of all of this power and fear, even Vader has someone he bows to, namely his master, Sith superior and ruler of the Galactic Empire, Emperor Palpatine, to whom Vader had been his apprentice since the rise of the Galactic Empire. Even then, the nature of Sith Lords ensured that no matter how much loyalty and appreciation they show, Vader and Palpatine would have their fair share of disagreements and distrust with one another before there would come a time when they would ultimately oppose each other.
** However, Vader wasn't always a monster. A long time ago, on the desert planet of Tatooine, there lived a boy named Anakin Skywalker. He lived a difficult life as a slave with his mother Shmi but dreamed of one day becoming a Jedi knight and freeing his fellow slaves. That day soon came. Jedi master Qui-Gon Jinn came to Tatooine one day and noted Anakin's surprisingly high Midi-chlorian levels, higher than ever Grand Master Yoda's. With Qui-Gon's help, and some mad pod-racing skills, Anakin won his freedom and traveled to Tatooine to become a Jedi... but Qui-Gon would not be his master. He was killed by a Sith Lord on Naboo, so Anakin was instead tutored by Qui-Gon's apprentice, Obi-Wan Kenobi. Over the next thirteen years, Anakin would become an exceptional Jedi knight; skilled with a lightsaber and the Force, not to mention a master star-fighter pilot too. He also grew arrogant and cocky, believing the Council was holding him back from achieving his true potential. But these emotions would ultimately be his downfall.
** Anakin would fall in love with senator Padmé Amidala and would eventually marry in secret, and after seeing visions of her death, Anakin sought a way to prevent it. This search led to Chancellor Palpatine... in reality the Sith Lord, Darth Sidious. Anakin was seduced by the dark side of the Force and became Sidious' apprentice, the dark lord giving him a new name... Darth Vader. Vader quickly went to work for Sidious, slaughtering the Jedi during Order 66 and eliminating the remaining separatist leaders on Mustafar. It was on the lava planet where he would "kill" his wife, and fight his old master Obi-Wan, who defeated Anakin in combat and left him to burn to death among the magma. But Anakin didn't die. Sidious, now Emperor of the Galactic Empire, found and recovered Anakin's charred body, and rebuilt him in a black life support suit. From that point on, Anakin was dead, and only Darth Vader remained.
** Fate would ring about an unexpected turn of events when Vader personally encountered the upcoming Jedi Luke Skywalker on planet Bespin. After a lopsided battle, Vader made the revelation of himself being Luke's father, a discovery that he himself only made recently. Although Vader failed to convince Luke to join his side, a sense of inner conflict started to unravel, causing Vader to gradually lose his trust and belief in Palpatine and the Dark Side. This would come to a head in the Battle of Endor when Luke and Vader confronted and battled each other again in front of Palpatine where the Sith Apprentice also discovered his parentage to Leia, Luke's twin sister, though this revelation would result in his defeat. Despite everything, Luke refused to yield to the Dark Side and declared that there was still good inside of Vader. Although this infuriated Palpatine into torturing the Jedi, Luke's words and pleas for help were enough for Vader to finally snap out of the Dark Side, choosing to kill Palpatine to save his son's life at the cost of his own. In his final breath, Vader opted to see Luke with his own eyes and tell him that he was happy to be proven wrong about not being redeemed. He died not as Darth Vader, but as Anakin Skywalker, a proud and renowned Jedi.
* Despite his redemption, Anakin would still go down as one of the most hated people in the galaxy for his contribution as a general to the Galactic Empire and for inspiring such fear that was not experienced beforehand for hundreds of years. Yet even then, the man would find admirers posthumously, but that is a tale for another day. Vader would see himself in the presence of another world whom he would later find out to be the Trope Pantheons. He initially had a lot of questions and thoughts running through his mind, namely why he was still wearing his mechanical suit and how he was still in control of the Dark Side, yet a fraction of the Light Side also manifested. He embarked on a personal odyssey to find out about himself, eventually discovering that his tale was worthy enough to become a representative for another story, something that confused him even more. Furthermore, when he took off his mask for the first time, he looked... different. He was still scarred, but he somehow looked healthier than back on his mortal coil, with his natural blue eyes and a few strands of his hair being restored as well as his skin retaining some color of warmth. He was shocked, but questions still remained more persistent.
** Finally, Vader would come across what looked to be a mysterious woman who possessed great power and authority. She identified herself as Cosmos, a Goddess of Good, and declared that she had been waiting for Anakin for a while. Vader expressed further confusion, asking her why she is calling him that when his appearance showed that he came back as Vader, to which Cosmos declared that while he did redeem himself, he was still condemned, though Cosmos asserted that she does not intend to do that with him. Fortunately for Anakin, Cosmos gave him answers; his healthier appearance is a sign of his redemption, but the suit is a symbol of the former Sith Lord still having to repent for his actions at large. He grumbled at the revelation of Palpatine having also arrived in the Pantheon shortly before he did, but at least there was closure in that Cosmos revealed that from here on out, he was to make his own decisions and whether he would go by Anakin or Vader. A difficult question, he chose the latter, claiming that his sins still weigh on him, but to call him Anakin is still welcomed, especially by those who earn his respect and approval, which Cosmos has. From there properly begins Vader's tales and experiences in the Pantheon.
* While no longer a villain and more so a traveler of sorts under the watch of Cosmos, Vader is still seen fearfully and disdainfully by many in the Pantheon and many would rather stay as far away from him as possible than consider the possibility of being in the same place as him. His fear factor is well-founded as Vader's potency in The Force is amongst the greatest out of any user, only further amplified by his sheer hatred. While his redemption has cleansed his hate to a degree, Vader's powers are still absurdly strong, and he's a contender for being among the greatest lightsaber wielders from his galaxy, with his mastery in Form V Djem So and his extensive knowledge in the other six forms being a key reason for it. He's also a very accomplished pilot, traveling the House of Pantheon/SpaceAndCosmos with his personalized TIE Fighter whenever he has to, and is very much capable of handling himself during aerial combat. Needless to say, even entire armies admit to putting a distance from the former Dark Lord, considering he is capable of decimating large troops of soldiers, battalions, and ships.
* Despite his lack of popularity, soldiers who tend to work under Vader's orders are stated to have a positive relationship with him as Vader genuinely admires his troops' dedication to fulfilling their duties and performing to the best of their abilities, even if they must face death. Considering Anakin's own experience fighting during the Clone Wars, he has every reason to be commendable to them, as the 501st Legion has demonstrated. In spite of his past, actions, and his eventual redemption, the Legion has continued to remain under Vader's authority and has been stationed to help others in the Pantheon under the guise of being a splinter group who disagrees with Palpatine's way of wanting to conquer the Pantheon. Many in the Pantheon are somewhat surprised at Vader's ability to inspire positive morale and loyalty, and given his newfound open opposition towards his former master, it's a godsend.
* To the surprise of many, Vader is a recurring visitor in the Hall of Pantheon/LoveAndAffection, where he often attends the Hall of Pantheon/RomanticLoss. There, he likes to place a reservation for a cup of tea and a nice place to sit at. He doesn't actually drink, but he does glance at his tea for a period of time. Many have taken notice of this, but they're too afraid of actually approaching him due to his already fearsome reputation. Oddly enough, Vader's presence in the Hall's tea spot made the place rather popular and by then, many had already theorized that Vader attends the store because it reminds him of Padmé and a happier time before his days as a Sith Lord. That said, the former Sith Lord is actually open to having a conversation, though his voice commands a sense of authority that no one would dare challenge. An interesting conversation happened with Sayaka Miki when she visited to take some mind off her failed love with Kyosuke. The two had a chat and realized they were more similar than they had expected. They didn't become friends, but at least Sayaka got the idea that Vader wasn't a monster like she assumed and was broken by loss just like her, while Vader pities Sayaka because her mortal life is not too different from his past hotheaded and emotional side. Still, Sayaka is afraid of Vader and is wary of just what he is capable of, but at least she respects him enough to understand his plight and privacy.
* If there's a select group or occupation that Vader despises, it's slavers and slavery. It doesn't matter that he is the more dangerous man, slavers are absolute scum and are better off destroyed than continued to be allowed another day to do their abhorrent acts. It's not unwarranted either; Vader was once a slave during his childhood and only by being taken into the Jedi Order did he actually escape the slave lifestyle. His mother, Shmi, wasn't so lucky, and she was forced into unforgiving and over-excessive slave work for 10 years before she died in Anakin's arms from over-exhaustion and torture. Still having Boba Fett as a business partner, Vader is not above asking the bounty hunter to kill slavers for a good price. Boba accepts these deals, though it's less because of money and more because he agrees with Vader's stance. Vader has since struck fear into the minds of many slavers, such as Benjamin Cameron, Calvin Candie, Stephen, and the Slavers, who do their best to not piss Vader off to the point where he would personally track them down. The only reason why Vader hasn't come to kill them personally is that he has a lot of other, more dire enemies to deal with.
* All things considered, Vader does make for an effective job provider, though his demands are very stalwart and high-demanding. While small in number, those who do accept an offer with the former Sith Lord are noted to be excellent in their field as bounty hunters or scouts as Boba Fett has demonstrated, who remains one of Anakin's most reliable associates. In the Pantheon, he's also caught an eye out for Locus, a space pirate who underwent a tragic delusion in trying to benefit others, though after realizing his error and the damage he had wrought on others, decided to make up for his actions. This allowed Locus and Vader to understand each other quite well and while the latter's demands are to lead to dangerous outcomes for his targets, he makes a point that they are truly wicked to give the former some easiness in the task, though Locus would ''not'' kill his targets, which does have its benefits as Vader could use that as a way to get more information from newer targers. That, and the two are open to the chance to hang out with each other, provided they have spare time. Vader also reached out to Lobo, a rather brutal and bloodthirsty bounty hunter who is not above killing his victims gruesomely. Lobo admitted that he was impressed by Anakin's fear factor and he liked his getup, voice, and powers, likening them as hardcore. Vader has him under payroll regardless, though under the order of "no disintegrations" so that his targets can be verified. Lobo has surprisingly agreed on the matter; he's one that upholds his bargain and honors a deal unfailingly, not to mention Lobo likes Vader for being a badass in his own perspective, something that the former Dark Lord sees as rather awkward.
* Vader was surprised to see that a good number of Jedi and Sith were ascended into the Pantheon, though his reception towards both parties was very complicated given he served as both at different points of time. Most Sith opposes him for turning to the Light Side, despite Vader still using the Dark Side, essentially being a Sith in all but actually serving it, though there are some Sith warriors, particularly Maul and Dooku, who respect him enough as an adversary. Outside of Obi-Wan, the only Jedi who was truly trusting of him was Qui-Gon Jinn, who expressed sympathy for Anakin's tragedy and was glad to hear of his redemption, expressing a desire to help Vader complete his guidance to the Light Side as much as he could. Most of the Jedi are simply wary of him and keep their distance, with Mace Windu in particular, being the most critical. Given their past history of Windu having always been pessimistic and distrustful of Anakin and the latter playing responsibility for the former's death, the two ''really'' do not get along. Vader expresses regret for Windu's death, but the latter is not willing to accept forgiveness willingly and only tolerates the former because of Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan vouching for him to be given a chance for redemption in the Pantheon.
* Apparently, [[MemeticMutation he hates sand because, it's coarse, rough, irritating, and it gets everywhere]]. Vader initially didn't care about his statement regarding Tatooine's landscape, but he gradually started finding it annoying when people decided to milk the former Sith Lord for having sand as a weakness. To Vader, it seems that they forget that [[Series/ObiWanKenobi one of the times he went to Tatooine as a Sith Lord, he was trying to find and kill his master, and sand didn't impede him]]. Alas, the joke remains, and Vader still sees it as embarrassing. Many have vouched for Sandman to be his ArchEnemy after Palpatine, Luke, and Obi-Wan, but when the two actually met, they instead got along, with Sandman having equal plight over the fact that trying to escape from villainy is hard and he does try his best to provide for his family. The two have fought against each other if only to make people shut up about Anakin's perceived weakness for sand, but otherwise, he and Sandman just like keeping in contact with each other.
* Prior to the Pantheon, he's no stranger to visiting new worlds where the stories of the Force are not applicable. He was once involved in [[VideoGame/SoulSeries events surrounding Soul Edge and Soul Calibur]] where he fought against a plethora of fighters before reaching and defeating Algol, taking the cursed and holy swords for himself. Or so that's what was told in some sources. With the revelation of both swords being malevolent as well as his own return to the Light Side, Vader is a lot more careful about Soul Calibur and Soul Edge, though this hasn't stopped Algol from worrying about the potential threat Vader poses to him and is on guard about it. On the other hand, Sophitia Alexandra expressed concerns and sympathy for Anakin, eventually coming into contact with the former Sith Lord and managing a conversation surrounding family and loved ones. It helped that Sophitia, at one point, was duped into serving Nightmare in order to save her daughter Pyrrha despite her steadfast alignment for good. She's one of the few to approach Vader not out of fear and genuinely wants to help him fully achieve redemption, something that he expressed some surprise at, given his own hated reputation.
** He's had more bizarre encounters before entering the Pantheon. At one point, he fought against Optimus Prime, and surprisingly proved capable of fighting against the giant robotic warrior, with Optimus having to admit that Vader was among the most dangerous humans he's encountered. In fact, Vader's experience in battling the Autobot leader influenced him enough to create a giant mechanized version of himself, inspired by the Death Star and being capable of destroying planets, something that actually worried Palpatine. That said, Anakin has since abandoned this plot and instead doesn't pay much attention to Optimus, not wanting to get involved in making matters between them complicated. That is, until a sudden run-in with a couple of Deceptions led by Megatron, after which Vader realized that he might need the Autobots' help after all once Megatron saw him as a threat and promised to hunt him down for hampering his quest to conquer the galaxy. Understandably, most of the Autobots are uneasy with an alliance with Vader, but Optimus, being a figure who is willing to offer second chances, has accepted to help Vader out, even if he admits that their past relationship wasn't a good one. On the other hand, Anakin is quite respectful of Optimus and credits him as a WorthyOpponent given their last fight as well as admitting that it would be an honor to fight alongside a great warrior. On the other hand, Vader had a battle against Energizer Bunny, of all things... and he lost to the bunny by the latter sneakily disabling his lightsaber by replacing its battery cells. The fact that Energizer Bunny managed to defeat Darth Vader and [[VillainousBreakdown drive him mad from defeat]] was shocking, to say the least. Though nowadays, with Vader now being a man seeking redemption, he doesn't have any enmity against the bunny, though he still expresses embarrassment over being defeated in such a humiliating way, hence why he doesn't tend to approach Energizer Bunny.
* Throughout his journey in the Pantheon, one of Anakin's most memorable encounters happened with Hal Jordan of the Green Lantern Corps. Of course, Hal was familiar with Vader's story and ended up relating to him, something that came as an unexpected move on Vader's part, especially as the two shared a lot of similarities, being among the best in the respective organizations they worked for, being mavericks who preferred doing things their way, being accomplished pilots, and even facing corruption and turning malevolent, though, in Hal's case, he ended up wanting to destroy the multiverse and recreate it into one where heroes always won. So it came as a surprise when Hal and Anakin somehow became friends, much to the shock of everyone who caught news of that. Many questioned Hal's support for a former Sith Lord, but the Green Lantern is quick to affirm that he himself had a fall from grace and he knows how it feels to be ashamed of one's past actions, hence why he's willing to give Vader a chance for redemption as he understands the hardships of atonement. Still, Hal is wary that Vader still uses the Dark Side, even if it's for good, and tends to tread carefully when considering working with him. That, and he's aware that Anakin has enough willpower to be a Green Lantern if he wishes to become one.
** Anakin also caught the attention of Sinestro and Atrocitus, who likely followed suit after Hal's friendship with the atoning Sith Lord. While Hal saw similarities and sought to help Vader in his redemption, Sinestro saw him as an admirable force of fear as well as someone worthy of respect due to his commanding authority and strength. Vader ended up having mixed thoughts on Sinestro, the former Sith saw him as a capable leader and a skilled tactician, but his dictatorial authority and condescending nature leave a lot to be desired in his perspective. They agreed on a partnership, but only because both of them know they see Palpatine as a threat and they share mutual enemies. Atrocitus also sees Vader as an instrument of fear but has the courtesy to recognize his tragic past and upbringing. Atrocitus also sees Anakin as justified in taking revenge on those who wronged him, though he's sour about his actions as Palpatine's enforcer. Still, he respects Vader enough to offer his own support in smiting the wicked, especially Palpatine, to which Anakin stated that though they may share similar enemies, they have different priorities and goals, so he can't be actively working with the Red Lanterns all the time, which the Red Lantern Leader accepted on civil terms. As with Hal, Sinestro and Atrocitus have noted that Vader's ability to inspire fear and generate immense rage through loss and agony make him a viable candidate as a Yellow and Red Lantern, though they've postponed any ideas of Anakin joining their ranks due to differing priorities on their ends.
* Homura Akemi was not an expectant figure to come to Vader's journey, but the latter did come to learn about the former through her efforts to save [[Pantheon/MagicAndSorcery Madoka Kaname]] from several beings she considers threats. Anakin quickly noted that he and Homura were motivated by love and protection, but seeing as she was a teenager willing to play the role of a devilish being, he was quick to pity her circumstances. In Vader's case, he saw Homura as childish and impractical, as her actions ended up alienating her friends and loved ones, something that he was all too familiar with, and while he's come to dislike Lucifer for being a sly manipulator who provides a corrupting influence, he's brutally honest about how lackluster Homura has been acting if she's doing this to protect Madoka. When the two finally met, Homura expressed anger at how Vader was being hypocritical about using extreme measures to save a loved one and failing, but Anakin was not without a rebuttal that left Homura momentarily stunned for a while.
-->'''Anakin:''' You are right. I was foolish and irresponsible. However, I took that lesson well and ensured not to repeat my error. Meanwhile, you lack the awareness of knowing how damaging your actions have gotten, Homura. Take it from somebody who turned to the Dark Side to save his wife and failed from it; you will either doom the ones you love, or you will make them hate you until your efforts are for naught. I may not redeem you, but you may start considering your actions and feelings on everything that's happened in your time as a pawn for a being who only cares about his desire.
** On a similar note, Vader would gradually learn about and come into contact with those who turned to villainy out of love. He was rather disturbed to relate to one iteration of Dracula, who was rather accepting towards Anakin despite their differing goals and alignment. Anakin can understand Dracula's misanthropy, given that he lost his wife to an angry mob of witch Hunters, but he can't buy into his desire to commit genocide towards the living, seeing it as wasteful, though Dracula is unwilling to let go of his hatred anytime soon. he also developed a similar feeling towards Nox and Artorius Collbrande, though these are more pitiful in comparison as their tales resulted in them being driven to madness and becoming more unfettered in their goals of reuniting with their loved ones. It's especially hard with Nox, given he was a father like Vader, and Nox even appealed to Vader's status as one to work together in bringing his family back. Vader declined due to the extremes Nox would take and instead offered other solutions, though those were rejected due to Box's stubbornness, leaving the two of them on sour terms. Even then, Anakin doesn't hate Nox as he does understand his contempt towards his own predicament, even if he doesn't necessarily agree with it.
* Well aware of his reputation, Anakin made sure that his allies were those who were effective and whom he could share mutual respect and understanding with. For similar reasons, he stumbled across Nagato, a ninja from an unfamiliar land and a former terrorist who took the guise of "Pain" when he spearheaded a criminal cabal known as the Akatsuki. Nagato just so happened to be finding a collection of like-minded figures to create a new organization, one where his goal was to not defend the Pantheon from the shadows and that he seeks to enlist those who would otherwise not be welcomed by most. Vader was intrigued by Nagato's request, though it took him a while before he accepted a position as one of Nagato's main enforcers, a position he shares with Golbez and Vlad von Carstein. It's helped that Vader can relate to Nagato in their vision to bring peace and with Golbez regarding familial love and doing whatever it takes to keep them safe. Vlad proved a difficult one as Vader expressed unease at working with a vampire who had omnicidal thoughts, albeit in his own justified perspective. That said, they did share a trait for expressing a strong feeling for love as well as a talent for martial prowess and commandment, which the two admitted to respecting each other.
** Among his new allies were Ghaleon and Sailor Galaxia, whom Vader could admit were relatable given their formerly villainous nature and their eventual atonement. Still, he and Ghaleon noted that both of them were never really loyal to their masters during their days as evil enforcers. With Galaxia, Vader sensed that she was a powerful being who wanted to bring order as a way to ensure peace, though through more oppressive means. As a result, Vader felt that he could learn a bit from his new allies. He also found further allies in Blade and Omni-Man for those very reasons, with Anakin respecting the former's conviction to her beliefs and goals and the latter's attempt at being a better person than he originally was as well as being a good king to the Viltrumites. Vader felt more confident about his new allies, feeling that they were capable warriors in their own right as well as understanding his plights, which allowed him to be a bit more open about himself, not to mention the growth of his already large reputation in the Pantheon has started to see more supporters on his end. Though he's aware that there will still be some who will always hate him for his past, Anakin is at least content that there will be some who will accept his atonement and fight for a better future to make up for it.
** At some point, Vader came to meet up with Mr. Freeze while the two were in the cafe spot the former usually attends. When Anakin glanced at Victor, he sensed a strong source of sadness, grief, and rage, and guessed that this had something to do with love, given that it was exactly the sort of feelings that Vader dealt with later in his life. Victor ended up seeing a lot in Vader that applied to himself, such as a view of disdain towards life and feeling miserable over not being able to be with his wife Nora due to unfortunate circumstances on his end, not to mention only being able to survive by being encased in a suit meant for prolonging and providing life-support equipment. Initially feeling pity, Anakin would soon start to get along with Victor and the ice-themed supervillain followed suit, with the two now being good confidants towards each other, with Vader being willing to help Victor in helping him cure the disease that Nora had that forced her into being in a cryogenic coma. It helps that Vader was inspired by Nagato to recruit Freeze into his services as well, with Nagato being willing to help Victor in his end goal, provided they play by his rules and ensure they keep on good terms with any like-minded individuals and heroes for further support, something Victor was willing to follow along if it means Anakin and Nagato were to uphold that bargain.
* It didn't take long for Vader to realize that there were some ascended deities who resembled him. Not just in the sense of being a dreaded knight-like figure who commanded awesome powers, but also traces of tragedy and loss. These came in the form of Malekith, a Dark Elven king, and Arthas Menethil, a proud warrior prince-turned-Lich King, and both of them wound up heralding a great evil that plagued their worlds to devastating effect. Vader personally feels rather irked by this, the fact that there were those with similar backgrounds reminded him of his worst moments, though he has no problems actually fighting them if he must. He and Malekith can properly communicate with each other, with the Witch-King expressing genuine respect for Vader's martial prowess and strength as well as an opportunity to work together. Unfortunately, with the Dark Elves indulging in acts of sadism, hedonism, and slavery, Vader angrily defied, clearly not wanting to fall into needless depravity, something that upset Malekith, though the elf sees the former Sith Lord as a WorthyOpponent in his own twisted way. On the hand, the Lich King's desire to end all life made communication all but impossible between him and Vader, with Anakin admitting that in spite of their similarities, the only way they can encounter each other is in a fight to the death.
** While other fallen heroes like Tai Lung tended to express some degree of pity and disappointment from Vader, he does admit that Archaon and The Batman Who Laughs are two who actually make him uncharacteristically cautious and hesitant, as much as he doesn't tend to show it. The fact that Anakin could connect with Archaon to a good extent also plays a factor in this as he was driven into villainy and misanthropy by a string of deceit and deception in an effort to make him the Everchosen, the problem comes from the fact that Archaon wants to destroy all of existence to solidify his bleak nihilism, and while Vader can understand Archaon's hatred to a degree, absolute destruction is something he naturally opposes. The Batman Who Laughs, despite being a warped version of a hero brainwashed and manipulated into becoming evil, has since embraced his villainy and is delightful in spreading his fear and depravity upon others, to which Anakin noted that he was just as insane and malevolent as Sidious. Archaon expressed some curiosity towards Anakin of their similar pasts and reputation but otherwise sees him as a threat while He Who Laughs takes a more personal interest and wants to give another try in breaking Anakin's spirit just to entertain himself, hence why Anakin has ended up battling against the corrupted Batman a number of times.
** His relationship with Doctor Doom has come off as rather neutral despite sharing some similarities. Much like Vader, Doom believes in bringing order to ensure peace to the populace and while Vader does admit that he is a genius and impressive overall as well and Doom pities Anakin for his fall from grace whilst crediting his reputation and strength as well-earned, Vader finds his arrogant and borderline-narcissistic attitude to be extremely annoying, especially after a [[WebAnimation/DeathBattle certain battle simulation between the two]] saw Doom as the superior fighter, with him being eager to rub it into Vader that he's better. Still, both see each other as valuable allies if the chips are down and they're needed for drastic circumstances, provided Doom focuses on the task of working together than trying to get a one-up on [[Pantheon/OtherRelatives Reed Richards]]. Speaking of Mister Fantastic, an alternate counterpart of his, going by "The Maker" earned nothing but scorn from Vader, though the malicious Reed has offered Anakin aid via a set of equipment, resources, and information. Vader actually agreed to this, but he refuses any direct aid to The Maker, making his disdain clearly shown and stating that while he does accept his offers, it's for his own gains. The Maker doesn't really mind, musing to himself that Vader is a good pawn in his own games, mainly using him as a way to eliminate potential rivals in the Pantheon before getting to assert his dominance. That said, both are all too aware of each other, with The Maker intending to kill Anakin once his use is expired while Vader has no pretensions about killing the alternate Reed in the event that they become enemies with nothing to bargain.
* Thanks to his experience with Palpatine, Vader directs a good deal of his hatred towards tyrannical conquerors and dictators. He hates Darkseid immensely due to his nigh-limitless cruelty and abusing his power to sow immense discord and despair, not to mention how he keeps the populace of Apokolips under hellish slavery, with Anakin vowing that he will make the Lord of Tyranny pay. Conversely, Darkseid actually has a sense of admiration for Vader, citing his hatred and power as "magnificent" and "hate unparallelled like any other", comments that only ended up frustrating the former Sith Lord more. Fortunately, Vader's new allies and supporters have managed to rein him from lashing out too much, but Darkseid is undeterred. He also has a similar sense of disdain toward Thanos and Sauron, with the former's odyssey to destroy life going against Vader's goals of redemption on a frequent basis and the latter's obsession with order being far too cruel and oppressive for Vader to support, even if he was serving under the Galactic Empire. Needless to say, Thanos and Sauron have noticed how Anakin has played a role in deterring their forces and have been taking measures to specifically battle the former Sith Lord at some point, with Thanos and Sauron both expressing a desire to learn the secrets of Vader's powers for their own ends.
* His placement in the House of Pantheon/FamilyAndRelatives has been an awkward one, to say the least. Many see Vader as an antagonistic parent, which would hold true with how Leia sees him as she's not fully comfortable about their relationship as father and daughter. It's a lot more different with Luke for obvious reasons, with Luke being very determined to aid in Vader's full atonement, though he does recognize the goal ahead to be a very difficult one. Despite his feared reputation, he has nothing but outright contempt for The Child Abuse Supporters and has made it clear that he will kill them if they ever dare to threaten him or get in his way. Special note goes to Ozai, whose tyranny and cruelty are no less different from Palpatine. Both Ozai and Anakin are also aware that the former [[Creator/MarkHamill has a voice that's similar to Luke's]], which ended horribly for him when he once tried to imitate Luke with the intent of pissing Anakin off. It worked... too well, as Vader immediately tried to choke Ozai to death, only letting him go and swinging his lightsaber at him with a furious roar, lacerating Ozai and causing him to develop a sense of fright towards the former Sith Lord and being far more careful when it came to dealing with him next time. On the other hand, Anakin has a more complicated relationship with Ozai's son, Zuko. The two actually understood each other well and Anakin even sees him as a SuperiorSuccessor to his father in every way, though Zuko would keep his distance from Vader, feeling that it's too early for him to be in contact with someone who's a symbol of fear and hate.
* Given the nature of the Pantheon, a reunion with Padmé was a possibility that Vader thought about since his ascension and serving his penance to prove his atonement. Still, when the day came when Padmé ascended, Vader was initially hesitant on encountering her, still reeling from his self-loathing and finding trouble on how to explain his circumstances after her death. Regardless, the two would encounter each other at the usual cafe store where Anakin would lounge to reminisce his past times, which is how Padmé came to know when to expect her husband. Everyone present at the cafe, the owner included, left to give the two some privacy. Not much is known about what went down, as Vader is not one to disclose that information. According to Padmé, the two had a tearful conversation with each other and how Vader couldn't keep his emotions in check, clearly overwhelmed at having to see his wife again under a mechanical suit that he despised. Regardless, Padmé affirmed her love and loyalty to her husband and declared that she will always stand by Anakin's side, choosing to see him as the young Jedi that she fell in love with rather than the dark Sith Lord that spread fear unto everyone. It was a long conversation, but definitely, one that Vader needed to clear out a lot of his own angst as well as Padmé's own. In the end, Vader has come out a lot more emotionally stable and confident, now determined to make his wife proud as well as finally earn the forgiveness of his children, especially his daughter, Leia, who is yet to fully accept it.
** Vader would express some surprise and intrigue when he learned about his grandson, especially when his name was Ben, a moniker that Anakin's former master used during his exile years. Still, he felt disappointed when said grandson took the moniker of Kylo Ren and pursued the Dark Side mainly to uphold Vader's legacy of his time as a Sith Lord. Still, Kylo did redeem himself before his death and Anakin would personally encounter him partly to discuss matters about helping him readjust as a force of good and to be a grandfatherly figure if he ever needed guidance outside his parents, who were already on contentious terms with Vader for a lot of reasons. In time, Ben began to admire and respect Anakin for his more heroic and selfless acts and despite expressing some doubts, Anakin is willing to tell him that he's proud enough for him as a way to better their relationship and give Ben some much-needed confidence. The two of them sometimes have sparring duels against one another and while Anakin may be the better combatant, he's respectful of Ben's growing skills and has extended his atonement to making Ben a hero and one day surpassing his grandfather.
* While Anakin is well aware that he is among the most hated people in the galaxy for his actions as Vader, he was perplexed to discover that, to another large part of existence, he was one of the most celebrated and acclaimed villains of all time. In his curiosity, Anakin discovered that he ended up inspiring countless fictional characters, parodies, and imitators, providing a long and complex case study of former heroes who were seduced into evil and is seen as the quintessential TragicVillain. There's even a DeathMetal [[Music/{{Vader}} band named after him]]. Anakin has mixed feelings towards the whole matter; it's good to see there are others who acknowledge his angst and trauma, but he also finds annoyance at being pitied and revered, not helped by his own conflicting nature upon himself. He's aware that some of those who were based on him are actual allies in the Pantheon, but that doesn't impact much about how a part of the populace sees him. Finally, he's given Vader, the band, a few listens, to which Anakin states that while it isn't exactly his type of music, he can at least respect the frenetic and chaotic energy the band applies in their work and there is an intense effort put into it, something that Anakin has a similar feeling towards troops and opponents that similarly gain some form of respect from him.

* Nowe is a young man raised by a dragon named Legna and taken in by the Knights of the Seal by General Oror so that he would learn to be human. Nowe's origin is a very unusal one, having been created as a result of Inuart and Furaie being fused together with Legna's blood, in a way making the three of them his parents. The Knights protected the Seal that Angelus became to prevent the Watchers from appearing in the mortal world and exterminating humanity, yet they grew more ruthless and oppressive in the process. Nowe starts to doubt the morality of the Knights due to the seals requiring human sacrifices. After being poisoned by the Knight's leader Gismor, who is also the murderer of Oror, Nowe escapes with Legna and joins Manah in her quest to destroy the seals and, in her mind, free the people from the Knight's oppression.
** Throughout his journey, Nowe fights against the Knights guarding the seals, while also crossing paths with Caim, who also wants to destroy the seals to free Angelus from her painful duty. After defeating Gismor and succeeding in their quest however, Nowe and Legna are then forced to put the freed, but now insane Angelus out of her misery, with Caim dying peacefully with her. The world now falls into chaos with the seals destroyed, forcing Nowe and his allies to meet with Legna and Seere, where Nowe learns that he is a New Breed created to aid the dragons in their war against the Watchers. Legna wants to awaken Nowe as the New Breed while Seere wants to create a new Goddess of the Seal, so Nowe has to choose which path to take to stop the apocalypse.
*** The first ending has Nowe try to find a new Goddess and rejecting Legna's plan. Awakening his powers as the New Breed after kissing Manah, Nowe battles and defeats Legna, but sadly loses his friend Eris when she becomes the new Goddess of the Seal.
*** Nowe chooses to follow Legna's plan, only for the Bone Casket that could transform into the New Breed to reject him and fuse with Manah instead. Manah sacrifices herself to destroy the Bone Casket as Nowe, Legna, and Eris lead the Holy Dragons to fight the Watchers.
*** While events at first proceed as in the second ending, Nowe is able to save Manah from the Bone Casket, while Legna summons the Holy Dragons. After Nowe becomes the New Breed and stops Legna, the Watchers and the dragons fade away, finally saving the world and giving humanity the freedom to choose their future.
* The Nowe that ascends into the Pantheon comes from Ending C. Nowe received an invitation one day into the Pantheon, with the Court of the Gods interested in his origin and the circumstances behind his birth. Nowe accepted and was brought before the Court of the Gods, receiving the title of '''God of [[ExtraParentConception Unusual Multiple Parentage]]'''. Not long after, Nowe crossed paths with Caim and Angelus, and is completely caught off guard when Caim is actually happy for his ascension. Caim explains how, as a result of being Inuart's son, he is technically Caim's nephew. Nowe is shocked by this, but despite sympathizing with him and his dragon, Noweis still hesitant to accept Caim as his uncle since he still killed his surrogate father.
* It was once shown what Nowe would look like in a few years time. [[https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/4fe65201e16000048405bda3feeb76c1.png Clearly]], [[{{Hunk}} rugged handsomeness]] runs in his family.
* Nowe and Giorno form quite with each other due to technically having two biological dads, the latter having been conceived by Dio Brando, who fused his head onto Johnathon Joestar's headless body, and the former being a child of Inuart with Legna's blood in his veins. Both of them sympathize with each other for having an evil father, but admit they still value their father, although Nowe grew up with Legna while Giorno never knew Dio personally.
* Nowe would come to learn of an alternate timeline in his world where Caim and Angelus appeared in a different world only to shot down, and inadvertently caused an epidemic that would wipe out humanity in that world. He would learn of how humanity tried to survive by splitting their souls[[note]]Which Gestalts, or "Shades"[[/note]] from their bodies[[note]]Which became Replicants[[/note]] and attempted to bring them back together once the epidemic is dealt with, only for the project to fail horribly, leading to a conflict between the Gestalts and the Replicants. Nowe can only feel sympathy for Nier, since he genuinely did have an altruistic goal, but failed to see that the Shades he fought were actual people. Nowe admits Nier reminds him of himself, someone who wanted to do the right thing, but also made a horrible mistake that put lives on the line. He also is horrified by what 2B, 9S, and A2 had to go through, but is at least happy that they managed to find their happy ending.
* Natsu, Gajeel, and Wendy were Dragon Slayers raised by dragons, though the dragons they knew were caring. Because of this, they sympathize with Nowe for having dragon parent who only raised him to be a weapon. Nowe at the very least is grateful, but admits he treasured his time Legna while it lasted.
* Ichigo Kurosaki is also a hybrid of unusual origin, having the ancestry and powers of a Shinigami, Hollow, Human, and Quincy. Ichigo can actually relate with Nowe for how he was sought out for his heritage and special powers, given how Aizen kept track of him since his birth because of his unusual origins.
* Nowe tends to fight evil dragons in the Pantheon, such as Grima, Acnologia, Smaug, and Fatalis. For the latter, Nowe is made aware that it is the only Elder Dragon confirmed to be evil, since all the other Elder Dragons tend to be more like animals living in their natural habitat. Nowe dislikes all of these evil dragons, having had a bad experience with malicious dragons, promising to protect everyone from them.
** Nowe is sympathetic to any good, innocent, or neutral dragon, having been raised by one. Because of this, he gets along with the likes of Crossbreed Priscilla, Ophis, Spyro, Ryu, Ventuswill, Tiki, and Bahamut. He usually hangs out with them the most.
* Nowe does have somewhat stable relationship with [[Pantheon/{{Twins}} Tyrion and Teclis]], the High Elves of Ulthuan known to tame dragons as mounts. Nowe does respect them, but the two still frown on Nowe's actions, since good intentions or not, he still almost caused the end of the world due to his lack of foresight. Tyrion and Teclis note that his WideEyedIdealism tend to cause more harm than good.
* Nowe hates gods who toy with people's lives, having been raised to fight the gods that oppressed humanity. Some of the biggest gods he hates the most include Zamasu[[labelnote:*]]For attempting genocide on mortals because he deems them to be sinners without exception, despite not being any better.[[/labelnote]], Yuuki Terumi[[labelnote:*]]For his excessive cruelty, manipulative tendencies, and desire to MakeAPlaygroundOfEvil.[[/labelnote]], Hades[[labelnote:*]]For manipulating humanity fighting a pointless war and abusing their souls.[[/labelnote]], and Chakravartin[[labelnote:*]]For causing countless deaths over the eons just to satisfy his god complex.[[/labelnote]]. However, he has met genuinely benevolent gods and he respects them for it, some of them including Palutena, the Alpha and the Omega, Shin, and Mata Nui. This also earns him Pit's friendship as a result.
** However, while he does understand Kratos' hatred for the gods, he understands that he even goes too far in his attempt to destroy them. Even though he made horrible mistakes that caused the apocalypse, he at least did everything he could to make things right. So far, Kratos is trying to atone, so Nowe is willing to give him a chance to prove himself.
** Nowe outright dislikes Beerus and Viridi for how they go about their jobs, since Beerus' apathy and laziness ends up causing more problems for his universe. Viridi's desire to destroy humans makes her no better than Zamasu, something she takes great offense too. Beerus in turn dislikes the boy for his naivety, stating that it causes more problems than it solves.
** Nowe is greatly sympathetic towards Ryoji, considering his unwilling role in bringing about the Fall making him very similar to Manah. Nowe hopes to one day give Ryoji a life of his own, even if Ryoji tells him that's impossible, though he does appreciate the good intention.

* Throughout the history of the Ardainian Empire, there have two Blades that the royal family has counted on for generations. These are Brighid and Aegaeon, the Crown Jewels of Mor Ardain. After climbing to the top of the WorldTree, they have been accepted into the Pantheon/TropePantheons for [[AncestralWeapon their role in Ardainian history]].
** Upon ascending, they were pleasantly surprised to see [[DownloadableContent Shulk and Fiora]] (among some unfamiliar faces). Apparently, Rex, Pyra, and Mythra had been here for some time. With that out of the way, Brighid would like to resume her arguement with Mythra over [[NoodleIncident how their battle concluded]]. Aegaeon can't contribute since he showed up afterwards, but [[RashomonStyle Lora and Haze said the whole thing was a draw since the latter had to break them up]]. They even said Mythra used [[HumongousMecha Siren]], disobeying Addam's orders. This part earned Brighid's [[WhatTheHellHero disgust]], calling her a [[BerserkButton simpleton]].
* One thing that bothers the both of them is how the very idea of [[TheEmpire empires being associated with evil]]. Mor Ardain has been lead by at least two emperors who are genuinely good people. This means that anyone who uses their right to rule an empire for evil is their enemy since they give emperors a bad name.
** In particular, Prime Minister Honest stands out because his emperor is a good person, but he manipulates him into doing bad things since he's young enough to be fooled. Honest also has Esdeath and Team Wild Hunt to do his bidding, making sure TheEmpire is a bad place to live in and stays that way. Seryu Ubiquitous is a more complicated case, since she suffers from BlackAndWhiteInsanity. Seryu is willing to help civilians, but will kill anyone who breaks the law, [[AllCrimesAreEqual motivations be damned]]. The blades have deemed them a lost cause, but the latter has a small sliver of hope.
** With that being said, they are willing to show some sympathy for Arvis since not only did he usher in 7 years of peace. While he did [[spoiler:kill Sigurd and steal his wife]], he was [[TragicVillain a victim of circumstance]] and did seek to atone for what he's inadvertently caused. Him being remembered as the BigBad only makes things worse.
* Sora Shiun'in has taken note of Aegaeon's SweetTooth and asked him if he could make something sweet for him. Aegaeon was willing to oblige, [[JustBetweenYouAndMe under the condition that he keeps it between them]]. This still managed to catch the attention of the House of Pantheon/ChefsAndEstablishments. Aegaeon considers Starjun an enemy for being part of a group that wants to TakeOverTheWorld and is grateful for the presence of [[Pantheon/{{Food}} Toriko and Komatsu]]. Sanji has acknowledged his skills and believes food should never be wasted, even if it tastes bad. Aegaeon agrees, saying he'd never let any Driver of his starve to death. Once Ignis saw the Blade's cooking, he could only combine it with what he already knew and say, [[CatchPhrase "That's it! I've come up with a new recipe!"]]
* The Blades have each found a sword-wielding rival in the Pantheon. Brighid came across Ivy Valentine while Aegaeon met Vergil:
** Brighid finds Ivy to be unscrupulous, but still regretful of her past mistakes and [[TheAtoner wishes to atone]]. Ivy tells her that despite her pity, she won't hesitate to kill her if [[EvilWeapon Soul Edge]] corrupts her. Brighid responds by saying the feeling is mutual, and that [[MercyKillArrangement she wouldn't want to be corrupted into doing anything bad]].
** When Vergil noticed Aegaeon's swordplay, he challenged him to a duel, knowing [[HealingFactor they can't kill each other very easily]]. Seeing this as an opportunity to hone his skills, Aegaeon accepted. While Vergil refused to use his [[SuperMode Devil Trigger]] [[spoiler:or his Sin Devil Trigger]], he still gave Aegaeon a good fight. This exchange caused him to seek out Kamui Tokinomiya. She agreed to spar with him, but only if he makes her a cookie cutter in the shape of a cute animal. While Aegaeon has not done something like this before, he believes it will be possible and an enriching experience. Unfortunately, [[CurbStompBattle the fight didn't go as he planned]] since [[TimeMaster Kamui can manipulate time]]. She still got the cookie cutter, though.
* Elsewhere, Brighid found Shiki Misaki, who noticed how well-crafted her outfit is. Brighid responds by saying her position allows her to have access to quality repairs for her clothes. Shiki tells her that if she needs someone to sew for her, she'll be glad to help.
* Later, she comes across Diarmuid un Duibhne and Medusa. Unlike Brighid, these two have actually [[SoBeautifulItsACurse SUFFERED GREATLY]] due to their good looks. Diarmuid's Mystic Face has caused women to fall in love with him, regardless of age or marital status. It's gotten to the point where he has to cover up his mole around most women in the Pantheon to avoid another instance since it got him killed. As for Medusa, she's a less extreme example, but many people still died because of her good looks. Brighid realizes just how lucky she is to not have lived any life as tragic as these two.
* Brighid and Aegaeon were pleased to see a legendary sword known as the [[Franchise/FireEmblem Falchion]] had made its way down a family line. Marth, Chrom, and Lucina have all proven themselves to be heroic royal figures. Aegaeon is willing to train Chrom and Lucina since [[DoesNotKnowHisOwnStrength they could do better at controlling their strength]]. Brighid has decided to teach Lucina how to pick clothes that are actually good-looking. Considering [[ImpossiblyTackyClothes Lucina's fashion sense]], this was a good idea.
* The Blades were impressed with how the Master Sword has been able to consistently defeat the forces of evil. Naturally, this has earned their praise towards Link for being the one(s)to wield the sword and Zelda for helping to guide him throughout at least a few of his journeys. They also stand in opposition to Ganondorf since he's the most recurring villain Link has fought.
* Queen Beryl, like Seryu Ubiquitous, is a complicated matter. While all incarnations of her are villainous to a degree, [[DependingOnTheWriter exactly how much so is inconsistent]]. [[Anime/SailorMoon One version of her]] [[AdaptationalVillainy is more heinous than the others]]. She's also managed to become good to a certain extent [[Theatre/SeraMyu in one instance]] [[Series/PrettyGuardianSailorMoon or another]]. In the end, Brighid and Aegaeon aren't sure what to think of Queen Beryl.
* Can also be found in Pantheon/OtherWeaponTropes.

* Opposes: Corrupt nobles and lickspittles, [[Pantheon/{{Upbringing}} Goro Akechi]]
* Annoyed by: [[Pantheon/{{Fathers}} Henry VIII]], [[Pantheon/{{Categorism}} Cersei Lannister]]
* Pities: [[Pantheon/{{Monarchs}} Tommen Baratheon]]
* Daeron II Targaryen is the son of the hedonistic Aegon IV Targaryen and pious Naerys Targaryen. Having more in common with his learned and skilled grandfather Viserys II, he had the unenviable job of cleaning up his father's messes before and after his death. Though lacking the physical prowess of other beloved kings like Aegon the Conqueror, he managed to peacefully unite Dorne through marriage, purge his father's corruption and is seen as one of Westeros' greatest rulers.
* It is speculated that his father was not Aegon the Unworthy, but his ([[RoyalInbreeding other]]) uncle Aemon the Dragonknight. Many doubt this as Aegon was known to try and disinherit his son, and Aemon and Naerys were pillars of virtue. Still, [[WordOfGod Aegon genuinely suspected an affair]] and Aemon and Naerys did love each other so it's not impossible. That, and lacking the martial talent his father [[FormerlyFit used to have]] along with [[LikeFatherUnlikeSon having a different personality]] has given the Blackfyres some credence.
* Attempted to make amends with his bastard half-siblings, [[TheFarmerAndTheViper though some would turn on him]] like Daemon Blackfyre and Aegor "Bittersteel" Rivers. Some like [[TheSpymaster Brynden "Bloodraven" Rivers]] stayed loyal to him though. As such he has a dislike of Marcello for being a treacherous royal BastardBastard. He is less harsh on Goro Akechi though since he wants revenge against a father just as politically corrupt as his own, though thinks he is too extreme in his actions.
* Though having reason to dislike bastards in general, this is not the case. [[HeroicBastard Heroic illegitimate children]] he looks favorably on. He became good friends with Alistar Theirin for being a "good" Blackfyre; a noble born out of wedlock who stepped up to become a great leader on his own, legally instead of usurpation. He likes Josuke Higashikata too, and sympathizes for the loss of his grandfather considering his own had such a short reign on the throne, [[OutlivingOnesOffspring and he'd lose both his eldest son and his children]].
* Finds the Tudor King Henry VIII to be a source of irritation. [[NoHistoricalFiguresWereHarmed He's a lot like his father Aegon the Unworthy]], though falls short of hating him as he was still the better king to Aegon the Unworthy. Plus he ultimately learned not to screw his daughters out of the succession instead of some other male relative. It helps that Daeron and Elizabeth are rather cordial to each other, given their own experiences with their fathers and proving great monarchs.
* As with the other ascended Targaryens, he was very happy to learn [[Pantheon/DraconicBeings there was an entire Hall of them]]. The wooden dragons his dad made failed miserably, so he was happy to show him up by allying with one. He befriended Charizard due to being a fire-breathing dragon, though Aegon the Unworthy stated: "a FierySalamander masquerading as a dragon? You further prove your illegitimacy". Most eyerolled, Daeron stating "better than any dragon you've ever had". That, and of course Charizard's X Mega Evolution was part Dragon anyway.
* Asides from Charizard, he is fond of Bahamut due to being a noble dragon. He was surprised to learn that ninety years after his death one of his descendants, Daenerys, finally managed to bring dragons back to their world. He immediately went to meet her and congratulate her for her endeavors, saying that her namesake is very proud. While getting along with many dragons, he detests Deathwing due to being a complete psychopath and doesn't understand why a dragonslayer like Dovahkiin is in a house for dragons.
* Per rule, Daeron opposes corrupt nobles, flatters and lickspittles. It is through their exploitation of his father's weak nature that his reign was so terrible, and it is what he's fought his adult life to eliminate. He detests Kinzo Ushiromiya for, among other things, his cruelty to his children and wills reminding him of his father.
* Close to Lancelot, due to [[CoolUncle his uncle]] the Dragonknight [[{{Expy}} being inspired from him]]. As Lancelot would have an affair with Guinevere resulting in Galahad despite his chivalry, his father uses this as further evidence for his adultery. Despite everything, Daeron privately worries if this means the Unworthy had a point. He's also close to the Nohr Royal Siblings given their tempestuous relationship with their own corrupt father.
* Has noted than ninety years after his time, history is repeating itself. As with before, debated paternity on the heir has led to civil war, and a fat, lustful king is being cuckolded by a knight. He is annoyed by Cersei for this, and seems to pity the situation Tommen is in.

* Pities/Fears: Anakin Skywalker
* In a distant, yet familiar future, the earth was on the brink of war with [[ScaryDogmaticAliens the Crogs]], a bloodthirsty alien race of warriors. The Avatar, the mysterious, seemingly omnipotent being that governs the universe, gave humanity a place in the Great Race of Oban and promised "the Ultimate Prize" to the winning planet. Eva, having grown up in a constrictive boarding school since her mother's tragic racing accident, enlisted with the Earth team and her distant father(the racing manager) under the alias of "Molly". She hoped to use the prize to bring back her mother. Her dad, Don Wei, never realized she was his long distant daughter until the last stretch of the race on Planet Oban. Eva was quick to call him on this, as well as her abandonment. [[spoiler:Ultimately, Eva never resurrected her mom, but saved the Universe along with her friends Jordan and Aikka, Jordan taking her intended place as the new Avatar.]] She is since trying to resume a normal life as herself, and rebuild her relationship with her dad.
* Though her ship, the Whizzing Arrow II, was destroyed in the last stretch of her adventure on Oban, Eva was pleasantly surprised to find an exact replica in her new temple. She often takes it for a spin around the heavens, but even she's a little nervous about trying Rainbow Road.
* Upon hearing accounts of her adventures, Samus was quite disturbed by her description of the monstrous Canaletto, who resembles the Chozo, the species that raised her. She has since promised to personally slay the monster again if he resurfaces. Eva in turn is preparing for the day she faces Ridley, a similar avian beast who slaughtered her new friend's family.
* Impressed with her role in saving the universe, Hana Song has offered Eva a chance to pilot her Mech, but Eva declined, citing she's not a soldier and wants a more stress-free life.
* Dib and Zim once partook in a race she was in. When Dib's acquired ship crashed, Eva helped him repair it, though she can't for the life of her understand why he puts up with the A.I's constant snarking and belittling of him for his awkwardness. After all, she also has a dad who was similarly absent from her life and can't even see through a PaperThinDisguise, let alone his own ''daughter's''. She doesn't see Zim as much more than a nuisance, but she still respects the Membrane kid and flies to help when the Irken unleashes a deadlier threat. In turn, Dib has offered to be the Whizzing Arrow's new gunner.
* She is on similar good terms with Jenny Wakeman (aka X-J9), who ''also'' has a somewhat complicated relationship with her eccentric parent. In a way, she reminds Eva of Ondai, another robot and rival racer who wanted to know what it feels to be a "real" living creature.
* Utterly horrified and saddened by Darth Vader's presence in the pantheon. To Eva, he is a dark reflection of how she could've turned out-a young racer abandoned by his father, and warped into the puppet of a dark entity, almost what Canaletto did to her.
* It's no surprise that Eva utterly ''loathes'' Darkseid and Thanos, both monstrous space Tyrants like the Crogs and Cannaletto, as well as [[AbusiveParents horrible fathers]], another BerserkButton for her.
* Eva and Terry often share a laugh about their similar lifestyles. Both are teen rebels who lost a parent to a truly vile skull-faced being, both work under a cranky old man with a HiddenHeartOfGold, and face similar hordes of futuristic enemies, both including an inky black Shape-shifter who isn't as evil as first perceived(Inque, Spirit) two cheerfully dangerous clown girls(The Dee-Dees, Ning and Skun), and a pompous crook in white who styles himself as more dashing and aristocratic than he is.(Royal Flush Gang's King, Lord Furter) Terry has also said he'd race with Eva in the Bat-Wing, if Old Man Wayne weren't so opposed to that kind of thing.
* Strangely, she's been seen helping out the Edds with some of their schemes. However, this may be because [[Creator/SamuelVincent one of them reminds her of a friend she had to bid goodbye.]]

* Hana was a college student whose life took an unexpected turn when a classmate she liked turned out to be a Wolf-Man; the [[LastOfHisKind last surviving descendant]] of the now extinct [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japanese_wolf Honshu wolf]]. Upon becoming a couple, they had two half-wolf children; Yuki, who was born on a snowy night, and Ame, who was born on a rainy day. Things seemed bright for the young family... [[https://youtu.be/nYpLJtDzod4?t=50 until the Wolf Man unexpectedly died on a stormy day.]] Left to take care of their two children alone, Hana faced a number of challenges along the way, both in the city with child services and in a remote countryside after eventually moving there. Throughout all of this though, Hana maintained a good heart and was incredibly dedicated in taking care of her children.
* Initially, Hana found the Pantheon to be a very unusual place to take care of her children, especially after learning about it and being accepted a spot there. While it does have the urban landscapes and rural countrysides that she has been used to, there's a lot more happening in the Pantheon than in her original world, with plenty of far more dangerous situations that could threaten her, Ame, and Yuki's well-being. Even with the new dangers that can happen, Hana ensured her children's well-being and is still making sure that they're safe.
** But there was a surprise in store. Hana learned she would be sharing the temple with another person from her world... the very same Wolf-Man whom she fell in love with long ago. When the pair reunited, they were both in tears as Hana rushed into his arms, the pair exchanging a loving embrace. Many in the House of Family cheered and applauded the couple's reunion, their hearts warmed by the scene before them.
* Nowadays, the couple can be found in their temple, which leads to Hana's home in the countryside. Yuki has transferred to another school as a human whilst Ame, now remaining as a wolf, protects the nearby forest. Despite this, Hana and the Wolf-man are proud of their children, knowing they've found their true calling. They still make visits to the Pantheon to visit, Ame more so as he became an honorary [[Pantheon/NaturePreservers Nature Preserver.]]
* Hana quickly found friends in the Pantheon to keep her company, mostly her neighbours in the Sub-House of Pantheon/{{Mothers}}. Kitty Forman has brought her, Terra Branford and Sanae Furukawa over for snacks, where the four have bonded over their shared struggles in motherhood, as well as the differences between their home worlds. For his part, [[Pantheon/{{Fathers}} Red Forman]] and the Wolf-Man let the ladies do their thing, all the while listening to them chat as they continue with their own conversation.
** The pair also gained friends in the form of the Holy Protectors Of Family, with all four of them praising Hana's skills as a mother and have given her the utmost of respect. And while the Wolf-Man did leave a little left over, Mufasa came forward and stated he did his best to raise the children, and even in death his love for Hana never went away. For that, the Wolf-Man appreciated the lion's kind words.
* Hana and the Wolf-Man get along well with many of their close neighbours, some of them also being [[HalfHumanHybrid half-human hybrids]] just like Ame and Yuki. Some, like Greg Universe and Atalanta, are supportive of the couples' relationship, whilst Nowi and Nah have been playing hanging out with Ame and Yuki due to their share "half-human" heritage. The Nohr Royal Siblings have also shown support for the young family, as they are firm believers in [[ThickerThanWater family loyalty]] above all else.
** The young couple also became quick friends with Belle and The Beast, who couldn't help but note the similarities between Hana, the Wolf-Man, and themselves. They can be seen conversing with each other from time to time, sometimes bringing up the challenges of growing up in unusual circumstances... and also giving Gaston more than his fair share of crap.
* While many have been supportive of their relationship, there are still those in the Pantheon who find the idea of Hana and the Wolf-man having children, to put it bluntly, [[{{Squick}} repulsive.]] Both Lord Okkoto and the tanukis of Tama Hill in particular were absolutely disgusted by their consummation, the former going so far as to try to the kill the pair. But just like with Ashitaka, the blind boar god couldn't land a direct hit and was, as Moro put it when she came to stop the rampage, rather embarrassing.
** While she does find their relationship to be rather off-putting, Moro still approved of Hana and the Wolf-Man's union. In some ways it reminded her of San and Ashtiaka's own relationship, plus she was more than happy to learn the lineage of the Honshu wolf lived on in Ame and Yuki as well. For that, Hana and the Wolf-Man were thankful and will sometimes come to chat with the wolf goddess, with Ame and Yuki playing with Moro's own sons.
* Considering he shares a [[RaisedByWolves special connection with wolves]], it was only natural that Mowgli the Man-Cub became friends with Hana and the Wolf-Man's children, even taking them to the jungle and introducing them to Baloo and Bagheera. Suffice to say, the young couple were more than happy to see their children were making their fair share of friends.
* It's no surprise that these two have come to oppose the Child Abuse Supporters, with Hana taking a particular dislike to [[EvilStepmother Lady Tremaine]] and [[TranshumanTreachery Ragyo Kiryuin]] for their treatment of their respective daughters. On the other side of things, the Wolf-Man quickly grew to disdain [[AbusiveParents Fire Lord Ozai]] and [[ArchnemesisDad Relius Clover]] for their "methods" of treating their children. All the aforementioned child abusers couldn't care less for the couple's opinions, but it did lead to Ragyo threatening to have [[WouldHurtAChild Ame and Yuki skinned and turned into rugs]]. It took the combined effort of Hana, Mufasa, San, Ashitaka, and a passing Roy Mustang to hold back a [[BerserkerRage fully transformed Wolf-Man]] from attempting to tear out her throat. He was lucky they were there to stop him. Had the other not been present... well, he'd be a dead wolf. Again.
** This opposition to abusive folks has extended to those such as Homer Simpson and Catelyn Stark, despite not being evil. Both are considered, in some regards, loving parents, they still treated some of their kids - Bart and Jon Snow respectively - rather coldly. But when it comes to conflicting opinions the Anakin Skywalker takes the cake. Both Hana and the Wolf-Man were horrified upon learning what the Jedi did as Darth Vader; in between blowing up his daughter's home planet and cutting of his son's hand. But despite this, Vader was able to redeem himself and save his son from being killed by the emperor. That part they're fine with, but they still have issues with Skywalker. [[Film/StarWarsTheForceAwakens Especially with Kylo Ren.]]
* After the fiasco with Ragyo, the couple soon learned of her associate, Team Plasma's Sage Ghetsis Harmonia, and immediately took a massive dislike to him, not only because of the way he abused his son N, [[spoiler:[[VideoGame/PokemonUltraSunAndMoon but also for nearly killing Lillie during his time with Team Rainbow Rocket.]]]] They've taken it upon themselves to befriend N and help him out adjust to the assortment of human inhabitants. Progress has been made, and N has appreciates the support given by Hana and the Wolf-Man. On the other hand, Ghetsis has been heard ranting about the couple, calling their children "freaks without human hearts."
* Several of the Pantheon's big game hunters, such as Pokemon Hunter J and Gaston have set their sights on the Wolf-Man and his children, due to their status as being the last descendants of the Hokkaido wolf. Most of them have been financed by the likes of Cruella [=DeVil=], Mr. Burns, and Looten Plunder, the former two especially as they want to add "Wolf-skin coats" to their fashion collection. Hana was horrified to say the least, and quickly called up the Nature Preservers to ensure her lover ''and'' children didn't end up as next year's fashion wear.
* Best not to talk to Hana and the Wolf-Man about their children being direwolves. Yes, they're on good terms with the Starks and they've opposed Tywin Lannister for using his children as chess pieces in his conquest for Westeros but never, ''ever'' call Ame and Yuki direwolves. You won't know what [[BerserkButton the Wolf-Man is capable of.]]
* No one knows what the Wolf-Man's true name is, not even Hana herself. It's unknown whether he keeps it a secret by choice or if it doesn't really matter, but it did lead to a peculiar discovery. Upon going to the House of Pantheon/TimeAndTemporality, Hana discovered an AlternateUniverse where her lover [[Fanfic/WolfChildrenFanfic survived his fall]] and helped out in raising the kids. [[TheReveal Then came the name.]] It turned out the Wolf-Man's name, at least in that universe, was... Balto. Hana nearly bursted out laughing at this revelation, as her lover had befriended the [[WesternAnimation/{{Balto}} wolf-dog of the same name]] a few days earlier. Perhaps it's a good thing the Wolf-Man decided to stick with Tyler for a time. Whatever the case may be, Hana is just content to spend some quality time with him... though she has taken to call the Wolf-Man Balto from time to time as a pet name. He doesn't seem to mind one bit.

** In [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyX2 addition]] to Yuna, Melody has also taken up friendship with [[Pantheon/{{Narrative}} Littlefoot]], since he's also from a series infamous for it's sequels.
** Sometime along the way, after Atlantica became a dominion, and after hearing of the game Blitzball, she somehow managed on assemble a team representing her mother's home place, and became its Team Captain.
* Melody once tried to join the pantheon as the Goddess of SpinOffspring, but lost to Sam Flynn. The two hold no ill feelings towards each other, and get along well for their similar nature. The two, along with [[Franchise/TheLionKing Kiara and Kion]] (and, to a lesser extent, [[WesternAnimation/PeterPan Jane, Danny]] and [[WesternAnimation/TheHunchbackOfNotreDameDisney Zephyr]]) are officially acknowledged by the pantheon as Disney offspring in the main canon.
** Fortunately, her uncanny appearance to her parents got her a trope at last. Sam was the first to greet her upon ascension.
* Thanks to her love of the sea, she gets along very well with most water deities, especially Aquaman on account of his own infamous background. [[Pantheon/{{Costumes}} Misty]] is also another deity she gets along with, out of their shared love of water and their tomboyish nature.
* Part of her ascension package is the ability to switch between her human and mermaid forms, which she was glad to have. Now she won't have to worry about drowning like she did some time ago, though she's been seen swimming with her human legs sometimes.
* Melody also has a bond with Jak and Daxter, on account of the latter [[Creator/MaxCasella sounding like]] her friend Tip. The two, in return, claim that she [[Creator/TaraStrong sounds a lot like]] Keira. [[Pantheon/MagicCasters Twilight Sparkle]] and [[Pantheon/CharacterWriting Ben Tennyson]] (back when he was ten years old) both also state that Melody sounds (or sounded) like them.
** Rival duo Ratchet and Clank also mention that Melody's voice reminds them of Talwyn, though [[Pantheon/ReligiousPractice Lightning]] holds this claim nowadays.
* All in all, Melody's feelings towards Ursula are mixed. Positive on that she got her parents together; negative on her being a sea witch who [[AndNowYouMustMarryMe tried to marry her father]]. And don't even let her be reminded of Ursula's [[ReplacementScrappy sister]], [[RememberTheNewGuy Morgana]].
** Though Clank is investigating the theory that Morgana [[WMG/TheLittleMermaid1989 may actually be Ursula in disguise, using a spell to cause everyone, including herself (by accident) into thinking that she had a crazy sister]].
** It got a bit complicated when [[Film/{{Descendants}} Uma]] was discovered. Melody does pity her first cousin-once removed, however, citing that if Uma had been raised in a loving family instead of on an island ghetto filed with hatred and abuse, she would've made a great partner in exploring the seas.
* She is aware that she and Sam are disowned by Walt Disney. Despite that, most good-aligned Disney deities treat the two as one of them, including Mickey Mouse. Melody is very touched by all this kindness.
* Melody has a strong bond with [[Pantheon/NormalCombat Keldeo]] because of their shared curiosity with the outside world, association with water, and having to fix a mess they caused in a moment of ignorance towards their families/guardians. It is also to note that Melody is the only Disney deity with a Mythical Pokémon as a partner.

* While he's retired from the archeology business, he still knows his stuff about Egypt and has stories to share with other archeologists. Him and Indiana Jones have become good friends discussing their past adventures, though Suguroku readily admits Indy has seen a lot more than he was able to. Him and Simon Petrikov are also friends, the latter having been an antiquarian who had studied some magical artifacts...sadly he spent the better part of a millennium driven crazy by one of them. With all the things he's seen of the Millennium Items and Shadow Games, he wasn't exactly surprised to learn the Egyptian gods were all too real in the Trope Pantheon. He's become quite interested in learning more about them, alongside the many pharaohs present asides from the Nameless Pharaoh. He's especially interested in Ahkmenrah, a ChummyMummy who was brought to the land of the living thanks to [[Pantheon/ArtifactsLibrary a magical Egyptian artifact]]...he reminds the old man of Yami Yugi.

* While an expert gambler, Sugoroku Muto knows that eventually, your luck will run out. This is but one of many reasons why he has absolutely no interest in playing any game with the D'arby brothers, who he's naturally horrified [[LostHimInACardGame by them gambling with human lives]]. Daniel at least finds his refusal to duel unfortunate, [[VillainRespect since he respect for his skill]], but Telence is just an ass so he doesn't care. Yugi is glad they aren't trying to antagonize his grandpa outright since the way their Stands work is highly reminiscent of a Shadow Game. However Sugoroku is fine gambling for smaller wagers like a chocolate milkshake. Him and Tsunade decided to gamble over who pays for a month's worth of bento boxes with a game of Duel Monsters...Sugoroku won, though she insists that this was unfair because it was her first time playing Duel Monsters. [[FriendlyRivalry They'll still make friendly wagers, just with more fair games]]. Recently he has been doing some bets with Uncle Chan over who can sell the most from their stores on a weekend.
* Has a bit of a complicated opinion on Grunkle Stan. Sugoroku sees him as a troublemaker, a swindler a washout...but also a good friend, who reminds him of some of the stuff he got up to back in the day. Stan wishes that he did more higher stake gambling with him and [[HypocriticalHumor thinks he's a bit of a washout]], but this comes off more as friendly ribbing. While Yugi's grandfather is annoyed by Bubs and his swindling ways, he sees in Stan Pines a more devious version of himself but really fun company, [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold who'll prove his worth when he needs to]]. The two like to swap stories, though the elder Muto admits he's got a lot stranger to say. One story both of them got caught off guard was [[Pantheon/MediaPresentation Big Bird's]], who [[Film/DontEatThePictures dressed down]] ''[[Pantheon/MaleAppearances Osiris]]'' when he refused to let a boy into the afterlife.
