- Aesir emerged from the cataclysmic events of the First Armageddon, which created the Trinity of Realities. He subsequently became the ruler of the World of Chaos, which eventually became known as the Human World. Watching over humanity, time, and space across infinite possibilities from the holy mountain Fimbulventr, he came to pity humanity for their naivety and lack of free will. Aesir would then choose to grant them free will and the power he wielded was split into two equal halves which he each entrusted to humanity's instincts: the Right Eye of Light and the Left Eye of Darkness. By dividing the power of the eyes of Aesir, humans gained free will and the ability to choose. With control of the Eyes of the World, the eyes that determine destiny, humans could choose their own paths. Because of this, Aesir's soul was split in two and created two embodiments of his personality and powers: Loki, his dark half, who was given the Sovereign Power, and Loptr, his light half, who was given the Prophetic Power. Eventually, humanity gave birth to the negative qualities and sins of the world, such as hatred, betrayal, jealousy, etc. This, in turn, gave rise to the evil within Loptr, who came to regret giving away the Eyes and sought to reclaim his former power.
- Ultimately, Loptr succeeded in regaining Aesir's power without merging with Loki. However, he was defeated when Bayonetta and Balder, who Loptr himself had brought up from 500 years in the past, summoned Omne, who separated his soul from his body, and Jeanne summoned Gomorrah, who consumed his body. Loptr's soul survived and he attempted to escape to the spirit realm to be reborn in a different era, but Balder intervened and trapped his soul within his body. Afterwards, Balder was transported back into his time and, corrupted by Loptr's evil nature, came up with a plan to resurrect Jubileus. After his plot was foiled, Loptr attempted to escape from Balder's body, but Balder managed to stop him from doing so. As a result, Loptr, along with the Eyes of the World, permanently died along with Balder.
- When it was discovered that Loptr was still possessing Balder within the Pantheon, Bayonetta went to the Main House to ask how it was possible for him to be present in the pantheon without anyone having noticed it earlier. It was then explained to her that Aesir had actually ascended into the pantheon in the distant past, thus allowing his halves to enter as well. Upon learning of this, Bayonetta asked for Loki to enter as well, which was allowed. Loki was rather surprised to discover that his ascension had restored the Sovereign Power to him. After adjusting to being in the pantheon, Loki and Bayonetta concocted a plan to free Balder and, to his reluctance, merge Loki and Loptr back together. Part of the plan required Loki to use his Sovereign Power to take the Left Eye from Bayonetta, which had similarly been restored to her upon her ascension. During a subsequent battle, Balder, under Loptr's influence, attempted to steal the Sovereign Power from Loki once again, but interference from Bayonetta and several other gods instead resulted in Loptr's soul being removed from Balder and subsequently merging, along with the Right Eye, with Loki, finally restoring Aesir once more.
- Although he expressed his gratefulness towards Bayonetta and the others for stopping his evil half, Aesir explained that his continued existence in his true form would eventually result in humanity losing their free will once again. After consulting the gods of the Main House, it was decided that a spell would be put on Aesir that would periodically force his halves to fuse back into him, thus allowing him to split back into Loki and Loptr again and ensure humanity's free will.
- Aesir, Loki and Loptr each have differing attitudes towards Jubileus and Queen Sheba. Aesir generally tends to remain neutral between the two, as he prefers to maintain balance. Loki is rather dismissive of both of them, preferring to generally just avoid them. Loptr, on the other hand, has actively allied himself with Jubileus and opposes Queen Sheba. However, his alliance with Jubileus is somewhat shaky due to her not fully trusting him, unsure as to whether or not he intends to give the Eyes of the World to her or keep them for himself.
- Exclusive to Aesir:
- As the God of Chaos, Aesir is incredibly powerful. Through his Sovereign Power, he can freely control the Eyes of the World. With the Eyes, he is capable of manipulation and control over all of reality. He can see the past, present, and future, the fate of any being, and see through "everything". Through the Remembrances of Time, Aesir can manipulate time by taking a "snapshot" of a given area or object. This allows him to later recreate an area/object and restore it to its past glory from any changes over time that happened to it since said "snapshot". It can also allow him to see the truth of events that had transpired. However, Aesir's true power is that of Nothingness: the power to erase anything and everything from existence, putting him directly on par with Grand Zeno.
- Although he's benevolent, Aesir prefers to stay uninvolved in the various conflicts in the pantheon, as he wishes to preserve the balance between good and evil. When approached by Lucifer with an offer to join the GUAC, Aesir explained that, although he somewhat agrees with their end goal, he does not approve of their methods and, as such, rejected the offer.
- Being a creator deity, Aesir gets along quite well with the other creator deities such Eru Ilúvatar, the Highest Joy, the Alpha and Omega, the God who talks to Bob, and Chuck Shurley, all of whom share his desire to preserve free will. All of them sympathize with the fact that he needs to split himself in order to ensure humanity's free will, allowing his evil half to run around free in the process. However, his interactions with Chuck have soured quite a bit after he learned about how Chuck treats the universe and humanity like his Cosmic Playthings and manipulated Sam and Dean for his own amusement.
- Aesir is also on good terms with Amara, Raava and Ezalor. He was happy to hear of how Amara and Chuck had reconciled and chose to travel the universe together. However, although he gets along with Raava and Ezalor, he doesn't entirely approve of how they both wish to suppress and/or eliminate darkness, as he believes that it could cause an imbalance that could lead to more harm in the future.
- In contrast to most chaos gods, Aesir serves as the overseer of the balance between good and evil, rather than as some kind of destructive force. As a result, he opposes the various other chaos gods in the pantheon. He regards Eliphas, Don Thousand, Galeem, Dharkon, Vaatu and the Chaos Knight as good examples of how order and chaos are both dangerous when not kept in balance. In particular, he regards Galeem and Dharkon as being especially dangerous due to how they nearly managed to wipe out all the Smash Fighters and how Dharkon managed to seize the puppet fighters from Galeem's control to his own, momentarily gaining a considerable advantage over his counterpart. Aesir is also especially wary of Amatsu-Mikaboshi and GOLB, both of whom represent the Primordial Chaos which predates the universe and wish to return all of existence back to that state.
- Unsurprisingly, Aesir quickly came to oppose YHVH and the GUAL. Many have noted that Aesir is a good foil to gods such as YHVH and Kronika. Where YHVH is an evil God of Order and Kronika is a sadistic Keeper of Time, Aesir is a good God Of Chaos. Where YHVH and Kronika are huge believers in The Evils of Free Will, Aesir is the one that actually gave his world's humanity free will. Where YHVH and Kronika intentionally pit two factions against each other, Aesir oversees the Balance of Good and Evil.
- "Where we only see reality and make it match our rules of the world, Aesir saw through reality, and those visions became our world. These observations became Aesir's power. Aesir's eyes were truly the eyes that created the world."
- Exclusive to Loki:
- Loki frequently spends time with Bayonetta, Jeanne and Father Balder. He's particularly happy that Balder has finally been freed from Loptr's influence. When not hanging out with them, he tends to play tricks on various deities throughout the pantheon.
- He surprised to discover that there were other deities in the pantheon with whom he shared his name. He was once forced by Bayonetta to travel alongside her, Kratos and Atreus up a mountain◊. Although he disliked it at first, he eventually befriended Atreus, appreciating his kindness and compassion. He's also on good terms with the Archangel Gabriel, who similarly likes playing tricks on people and had passed himself off as the Asgardian Loki in the past. Speaking of which, however, Loki also became enemies with the Asgardian Loki, who strongly reminds him of Loptr.
- Loki's use of Tarot cards drew the attention Madame Xanadu, who was initially annoyed by the youth's snarky attitude which, combined with his British accent, strongly reminded her of John Constantine. However, she came to respect Loki upon learning of his true identity.
- Loki was quick to befriend Ryoji Mochizuki, who was similarly an amnesiac who was unaware of being a god. Loki sympathizes with how Ryoji was unwittingly the harbinger of the apocalypse in his own universe, and was glad to hear that things ultimately turned out well. Loki is similarly on friendly terms with Joshua, although Joshua's attitude typically results in Loki playing a prank on him.
- Loki gets along reasonably well with the Daedric Prince Sheogorath, who has a surprisingly decent grasp on Loki and Loptr's situation due to formerly having been Jyggalag, a deity of order, before being transformed into his diametric opposite and the two currently existing as separate beings.
- "You don't need the Eyes of the World, love. I believe in your kind. You can create whatever future you desire."
- Exclusive to Loptr:
- Loptr is extremely annoyed by how he's forced to periodically merge back with Loki and, when not targeting Loki directly, spends extended periods of time looking for a way to once again regain his Aesir form without Loki. He's interested in the Fusion Program-enhanced tech of Mido, but is rather reluctant to try and use it due to how it tends to cause the resulting fusions to suffer from a severe case of violent madness and eventual breakdown of sanity. Similarly, Mao has expressed an interest in using Loptr and Loki as test subjects for his own fusion machine. However, Loptr declined the offer due to the fact that Mao has trouble building such a machine without it blowing up on him.
- Despite his temporary betrayal of YHVH in order to ascend Jubileus, Loptr has continued to cooperate with him and the GUAL due to their shared goal. He's also on good terms with Chakravartin and Zanza, as he shares the former's manipulative nature and the latter's desire to recreate the world in his own image.
- Surprisingly, he's willing to work with demons like Satan, Fortinbras and Mundus. Although Loptr himself tends to avoid directly answering why he works with them, it's generally accepted that he's just using them as a means to an end.
- Due to his disdainful view of humanity, Loptr enjoys working with evil humans, especially those who forsook their humanity, as they reinforce his belief that humans don't deserve to have free will. As such, he occasionally works with the likes of Enrico Pucci, Sun Li, Ragyo Kiryuin and Relius Clover. However, his alliance with Ragyo resulted in him becoming enemies with her daughter Ryuko Matoi, although he generally doesn't view her as much of a threat to him.
- Loptr strongly dislikes the GUAC and especially its leader Lucifer, as his desire to create a world with absolute freedom where all sentient beings are free to do as they please is something that Loptr finds abhorrent. Loptr has stated that when he fully regains the powers of Aesir, he intends his first action to be the elimination of Lucifer.
- Aside from Bayonetta herself, Loptr has also become enemies with her various allies in the Pantheon, such as Gene and Akeno Himejima. Dante and Vergil Sparda also both oppose him, having been suspicious of him back when he was still controlling Balder. When Sparda himself ascended, his friendships with both the Umbra Witches and the liberated Balder would infuriate Loptr to no end, especially when Loki was quick to boast of it as a gain.
- "Human free will is a joke; it is a worthless illusion. You need only obey me."

- Opposed by: Lúcio, Tiki
- Long ago, the Ashunera discarded all of her emotions, which took the form of Yune. This left her as Ashera, the Goddess of Order and Restriction. After failing to wipe out all of the beorc and laguz, Ashera decided to follow Yune into the Trope Pantheon.
- Upon ascending, Ashera thought her ideal House would be Order & Chaos, only to notice how much conflict there was in that House. About half of these fellow Gods were enemies, while the rest prioritized order like Ashera does. She also took residence in Godly Domains, where she also noticed a conflict between order and chaos. Suffice to say, her introduction to these houses has only exasperated the situation.
- As soon as she saw Sephiran in the Pantheon, she accepted him into her services once again, the latter returning to his Goddess. The Black Knight quickly followed, since Ashera is his master's master. However, when upon seeing Yune, Ashera immediately prioritized her destruction, and this time, she's not settling for her being sealed away inside a medallion. Ike also drew her unwanted attention since he killed her with Yune's help. Micaiah hates her for not having any compassion for her own allies who fight for her. Grima is another target that she opposes. They wish to destroy everything, but she wishes for everything to be replaced with another, newer species. Grima tells her that mortals will always find ways to be evil and that no matter how hard she tries, she'll never create a species that bends to her wishes.
- When Ashera learned about the Four Chaos Gods, she deemed them to be an immediate threat to be wiped from existence. Where Yune only feared them, Ashera is willing to wait until her powers are fully restored to turn them into stone before they can learn of her existence, taking no chances.
- In regards to One Piece, Ashera has employed Akainu/Sakazuki into her services. Sakazuki has taken note of her orderly outlook and her blessings will allow him to destroy all pirates in the Pantheon. The pirates (as well as the House of Military and Warfare) reminds her too much of the conflicts that caused her to awaken and to discard her emotions, and humanity's faults in general.
- Malthael has caught her attention with his end goal. Ashera is in agreement; if mortals are unable to choose between what they can do, they will not become evil and remain orderly. With their combined power, only a select few in the Pantheon can stop them.
- Order & Chaos is one heck of a roller coaster:
- Leeroy Jenkins isn't so much of an enemy as he is a distraction, so he's a low priority on her petrification list. The same cannot be said about Turles, who uses the Tree of Might to sap the life out of entire planets in order to power himself and his Crusher Corps. Lúcio has a problem with Ashera's plans since she's unwilling to give humanity a second chance. He'd much rather be friends with her Foil Yune. Ashera is opposed to Don Thousand on principle. The latter sees her as a reflection of Eliphas, but without the ability to challenge her to a card game, he had to fight her the old fashioned way. Loptous at first seemed trustworthy to Ashera, but seeing how he's responsible for half of the bad things they've done while claiming they need to be purged is nothing short of hypocrisy. That said, Loki's not too content with her petrifying her own loyal followers after she's done with them.
- On the flip side, Hotaru sees Ashera as a worthy ally since her ideals align nicely with his. Since chaos will always lead to conflict, he thinks it's best that Ashera succeeds in her plans for humanity since Humans Are Bastards. Yaldabaoth/YHVH was made from humanity's desire to maintain order, so Ashera gets along well with them. Even Death the Kid is willing to side with Ashera. The kinds of dangers that Ashera seeks to rid the Pantheon of reminds him of the Kishin's madness.
- Divine Roles also is a bit of a doozy:
- She has made herself fierce enemies with Sheogorath for their opposite alignments, with Sheogorath seeing her a complete stuffy bore while Ashera sees him as a ditzy fool. Tiki also made enemies of her for her endangering the lives of many in Tellius.
- On the other hand, she made allies with Shekinah because of their desire to create a truly orderly world and their hatred of chaos. YHVH is pleased about gaining more allies, much to Lucifer's dismay.
- The Goddess has noticed how similar her plans are to that of Soul Caliber. They both want to render everyone in a permanent dormant state for reasons related to order. The details are different (Soul Caliber uses ice), but they're close enough. Madara Uchiha is another potential partner. As if he wasn't strong enough already, Ashera's blessings ensure his Infinite Tsukuyomi would go off without a hitch. Not even a surprise betrayal from Black Zetsu could get through Mantle.
- Also has a spot in Godly Domains.

- In terms of cosmology within the world of My Little Pony, Discord holds the title of being the strongest one, as well as one of the oldest ones, being there since the creation of the universe. His role was to provide a bit of chaos and spice into people's lives, whenever they wanted it or not...more often than not, no. His desire for chaos and madness has resulted in him being turned to stone by Celestia and Luna, being encased for a long time, until enough time passed for the curse to wane, and with enough chaos and bickering from passing ponies, he was freed once more. Despite seemingly having the upper hand and tricking Twilight's friends into going after their own selfish goals, he was soon turned back into stone and sealed away for a while. However, he was soon brought back willingly by Celestia, wanting to see if Twilight's friend Fluttershy could have him undergo a Heel–Face Turn. Regardless of how chaotic he has been, even slipping back for a while thanks to Tirek alongside his usual chaos, he has proven to be a true ally, as even when he causes trouble, odds are pretty good he has genuine intent and doesn't fully understand how values can change from a god like him to a common pony. The other small part of the time is him just having a laugh while trying to be harmless. Of course, a being as chaotic as him has the home to match, with incomprehensible landscapes, rotating furniture spinning 24/7, singing teabags, and another Discord being there to greet him.◊ This chaotic home, alongside how chaotic he tends to make the world around him, is what sparked the attention and idea of getting him into the Pantheon.
- It was only a matter of time till he found out about the Pantheon given his boundless knowledge and being able to hear anything he wants. Just like himself, Discord's ascension and role in the Pantheon can only be described as chaotic. He appeared early on in the development of the Pantheon, still in his villain phase, residing in the House of Villainy as the God of Disproportionately Evil Villains in Light-Hearted Shows. He took his role in stride, spreading his brand of chaos around into the Pantheon, including turning all the temples 2D that could be knocked over with a sneeze. It was inevitable that he would be called in for his actions, and after getting imprisoned in stone in the real world, Discord's trope changed to the more fitting World of Chaos one he has now, with his current trope now being taken by The Dark Matter Horde, he admitted that the group is better suited for the role. Following his redemption within his own story, Princess Celestia convinced the Court of the Gods to release Discord on strict probation after seeing his friendship with Fluttershy forming. Despite his incident with believing Tirek, he was able to form a genuine bond with Fluttershy, and got to get close to some of the other residents, like Spike and Big Mac, becoming a fellow fan of Ogres & Oubliettes with them.
- Many were shocked to see Fluttershy successfully forge an odd friendship with Discord and become his Morality Pet. While many thought he would eventually return to his old ways once she was gone, he shocked everyone by still trying to help the ponies of the land reform after splitting up. Granted he took the death of his friends, especially Fluttershy, very badly and tried to erase magic, including his own, in a bid to help bring everyone together, but the New Mane 6 were able help to remind him of Fluttershy's vision for the future and help lead him back from his path, in return befriending them and joining them for games of teamwork. In the Pantheon, he has made frequent visits to meet up with Fluttershy, partly to him wanting to just hang out with her, and partly to missing her ever since she died. Many of the gods there have asked Fluttershy how it would be best to approach Discord, but Fluttershy just responds, "Sometimes, we just need to be shown a little kindness." Many gods are amazed to find how deep this friendship goes, to the point that Discord even briefly found himself worried that Fluttershy would hate him for what he was: a being that thrives on chaos. Fluttershy doesn't care though; they are friends and it's because of Discord's chaotic nature that attracted her to him.

- Since his adventure with the Gen 5 crew, he has resumed his chaotic, yet still yearning to help keep the harmony, nature. Ever since Fluttershy's passing, he has tried to fill the void left in Equestria by helping out animals as she did. His closest companion was "Reginald Fursome", an opossum that despite constantly eating berries, is crafty enough to make up for it and then some. Wanting to find some friends for him, he noticed Reginald racing towards the house of Meals, with Discord quickly following, only to spot a group of other animals making off with some food, with Reginald aiding them in their escape. Eventually, Discord was able to track them down, and despite fears he would rat them out, Discord saw that Reginald quickly took to the group like a duck to water, and has not only allowed them to continue stealing, but also lets Reginald join them from time to time. In Discord's words, it would help him burn energy and eat enough so he can stop constantly eating and making messes in his own home. They quickly picked up that he meant that he's happy Reginald has some friends of his own to hang out with. Helps that in the game adaptation/sequel of their adventure, Vincent was just as able to pull off a Heel Face Turn, so they aren't that unfamiliar with Discord's own actions.
- While relaxing in his temple one day, he soon found his own home getting changed into a more sci-fi setting without his consent. Curious about this, he took a look outside his home only to see another reality warper trying to recreate Picard's ship within his temple, criticizing Discord for not having any references to his inspiration in his temple, and questioning him about how many reality warping gods voiced by John Delancey does he know. Soon quickly realizing that it was Q who popped into his temple, he soon warmed up to him, warmly greeting him and congratulating him for not losing his mind within Chaosville. While they do have their fun and often can be seen popping through the walls leaving some multiversal parties and having festive attire on, Discord and Q often spend time with him trying to get Q to help out more to reform him, or at least push him out of True Neutral territory. Said techniques are them popping around deities they are already acquainted with and pitching in with their problems with chaotic results, but still ensuring that they can resolve the issue with their own willpower and intelligence. A popular friend of theirs to help out is Vector of The Barian Emperors, who died in a Heroic Sacrifice after turning to the side of the good from a friendly face who never gave up on him. Reminding Discord of Fluttershy's relationship with him, he's more than happy to help Vector do good in the Pantheon, with Vector happily accepting Discord's help to aid others, especially if such a way involves having chaotic, albeit harmless fun along the way. While some aren't that amused by these messy friendship sessions, others do admit it helps them remember their strengths and that it can be Actually Pretty Funny what they can do together. The more law-based deities are concerned by these antics, but Princess Celestia has convinced them to let them be, knowing that even if they go too far, they are willing to pitch in to help. While he is happy Q didn't want to take over his home Chaosville, as anyone chaotic enough like Pinkie Pie can become the new ruler and harness its power, he did decide to take Q up on his suggestion and add a sci-fi wing to his dimension.
- With his Breaking the Fourth Wall tendencies, he picked up on plenty of tricks from other universes. This got to the point where he was able to learn every spell. Not just the spells in his own universe. Every. Spell. As such, those who are looking for very specific spells tend to go to his domain to try and ask him for his assistance. Of course, Discord doesn't humor the more villainous deities, save for when he wants to humor himself and deliberately gives a spell counter to whatever plan they're doing. In his mind, if they don't think he wouldn't backstab them when they're a villain who wants to use his knowledge for evil, they deserve to be tricked by him and accidentally turn their weaponry into marshmallow shields. Even for those who he knows have good intentions, he still ensures that getting the spell tests them in a way to prove their worth. Only fair to make it a challenge in his eyes. His desire to keep things as complex as possible and ignore simple solutions is the culprit behind this. However, if the situation is dire enough, he is more than willing to pitch in without any strings attached.
- Was asked where the hell he was During the Storm King's invasion of Canterlot, as he could've easily stopped it all from happening, alongside a lot of other problems that threatened all of Equestria. Discord just gasped in shock before pulling out a script to point to the title of it, saying that it wasn't a "Discord swoops in to solve the problem" episode, but rather a "The main characters piece together the solution to the problem" episode. He can't be expected to stop all of their problems and knows that they can fend for themselves. Considering how his stunt that resulted in the series finale was him trying to help Twilight show that she can be the princess on her own, some denizens had to admit that he was actually right to make that point in how they needed to learn how to solve problems for themselves.
- Speaking of which, after his scheme to stage a Final Battle comprised of a Legion of Doom of previous villains to defeat in the final season blew up in his face, Cosmos came to him personally to plead that if he ever feels he has to do such a plot like that again, he should at the very least let her know about it first; The whole Manikin mess in the twelfth cycle is not something she wants to see happen again. Celestia, Luna, and a lot of other pony residents grilled him hard for that blunder, but after he started the counterattack to free everyone, said comments chilled out. Aside from a moment where Discord heard someone show damning evidence that Celestia did the same thing by releasing Nightmare Moon and snarked at her in the same way she did to him, the Princesses have forgiven him as well. Hearing of Megan, who had previous encounters with Grogar, Discord saw this as a chance to try and use his Grogar disguise again, this time to try and get her to get over her fear of Grogar. One slap to the face after the encounter led to him apologizing and admitting he came on too strong with his idea. Megan appreciated the idea behind his scare, as well as him seemingly being able to show her a friendly version of the Smooze, but still kept him at arm's length apart. Grogar, whom he was impersonating at the time, could only see this whole situation play out in Equestria and the Pantheon and wonder just why these ponies still keep him around.
Celestia: Oh my, so you were inspired by me; is that what you were saying?Discord: ...Hmm, so I can't deny it without it making me look even more petty, but I can't confirm it either as that would ruin my ego. Oh ho, well played retort there. A round of applause for you. *Summons a circle of hands around Celestia to clap for her.*Celestia: I learned from the best. - Of course, as a Trickster God specializing in chaos, who, while still practicing his craft (going against his nature without reborning himself into Accord would cause him to quite literally vanish), is still very much willing to befriend and play with those he once torments, his relationships with other chaotic beings would be one of sheer messiness, befitting his nature. Even before his official reformation, he had a strong rivalry with Chaos, the God of Discord, with Chaos trying to reign him in befitting of his title, while Discord just didn't care for his rules or ideas. After the reformation, however, Discord became a pure enemy of Chaos, and his Reality Warper powers have the power to put Chaos, even in his Feral Chaos form, on the back foot, and conveniently onto a banana peel which causes him to fall into a giant blender. As much as the Chaos of Sailor Moon fame has proved to be resilient in accordance to their title of Eternal Villain alongside the fact that keeping them alive is somehow better than destroying the one thing that would kill them, any of the reincarnations of villains Chaos has is fair game for him to mess with. In return, this version of Chaos often mocks him for giving in to The Power of Friendship, its interest in Tirek having only furthered their hatred for each other.
- On the topic of names sounding similar to what Discord is used to, he was briefly stunned by the fact that there was a Cosmos in the Pantheon. However, a quick look into matters has confirmed for him that this version of Cosmos is actually benevolent, unlike the Cosmos he dated who proved to be too much, even when he was still a full-on villain. While some believed that Discord wasn't as innocent as this information suggests, some say that Discord's chaotic and taunting ways were more of him wanting to at least keep people alive to share the chaos with, instead of just killing them. Regardless, Discord doesn't really like talking about his past romance with her and prefers to just leave it in the past.
Discord: "Well, at the very least, I don't have to worry about one of you trying to ascend her. Widely hated characters like her never tend to get far into the discussion process...Oh, greetings, Bubsy ...oh dear. - As an added effect of his friendship with Fluttershy and what happened in Gen 5, he has grown to adopt her style of caring for animals and loving nature. As such, big businesses that want to destroy the environment for the fun of it end up finding themselves swamped in trash and run-down machinery, forcing them to backtrack their stances. The Spirit of Chaos already had a rivalry with fellow fan favorite and Spirit of Destruction, Hexxus. Before his redemption, Discord just considered his "parking lots and shiny shopping malls" as not ambitious enough, and Hexxus thinks Discord's methods aren't anything serious. Of course, seeing Discord give the wildlife the power to fight back to not only help clean up any messes that befall the land, but also able to seal off any of his influence inside trees has led Hexxus to consider Discord more seriously than before. He would try to bring his allies into battle against Discord, but the pollution and paperwork Discord causes them keeps them swamped.
- As you could probably guess, Discord being the Top God as a Reality Warper in his home universe who turned to the side of good thanks to friendship has given him a lot of enemies among the more vile Reality Warper beings here. Thankfully, when he puts on a serious face, Discord has proven to be more than capable to outwitting and besting them. Xenophanes, aka X, has heard of Sonic's friendship rivalry with Rainbow Dash, and with his motive being half to mess with her and half wanting to show that Sonic is better than her, he was able to drag Rainbow Dash into his home dimension. Thankfully, Discord was able to see what was happening, and was able to sneak into X's home dimension and use his reality-warping powers to turn X's usual tricks and traps into harmless pranks and laughs. Soon finding Discord as the one doing this, X was quick to turn his attention into fighting him. Unfortunately for him, X soon realized that Discord's own Reality Warper powers was more than capable of putting him on the edge, even within his home dimension. In one last attempt to triumph, quickly learning about Discord's home dimension being the source of his power, X was able to force him and Discord out and into his dimension, Chaosville. However, to fully secure the win, he needed to beat Discord in a "Cuckoo Cook-Off", to prove his worthiness of using his chaos powers. Due to being more interested in violence and bloodshed than creativity, Discord was able to quickly win, kick him out of Chaosville with a ban for life attached to it, before crushing X from all sides, the same way he killed Sally. Needless to say, X has been much more cautious of Discord, and considered himself lucky he didn't go after Fluttershy. He heard of the horror story that Lord Brevon had after he tried to corrupt Fluttershy into a monster for his army, only for Discord to effortlessly blast through all his defenses, reverse any changes, and turn Brevon into a parasprite who couldn't reproduce for a week as punishment and shudders to imagine what would happen if he did went for Fluttershy...
- Someone who did go after her however was SCP-682. The hard-to-kill lizard broke security one day and in a bid to stop him, Fluttershy tried to use her stare on him. He was seconds away from eating her before Discord appeared, promising that if the lizard tried to kill her, he would not hold back and show the entire Pantheon why he is the hard-to-kill lizard and not the IMPOSSIBLE-to-kill lizard. Laughing his threats off, SCP-682 snapped up Fluttershy into its jaw...only to feel the most intense pain inside him he has ever felt. Using his chaos magic, Discord altered SCP-682's perception to see a meal that killed him in an alternative timeline as Fluttershy as he teleported the real one to safety, and it proved to be just as effective here, with SCP-682 thrashing around in pain before screaming out "YOG SOTHOTH, TAKE ME NOW!" and willingly allowing himself to die. Seeing SCP-682 stumble out of the house of Life and Vitality before screaming and running back to his containment cell at the sight of Discord was a security tape that the SCP Foundation treasured, even giving Discord a Foundation Star to show their appreciation in helping take down SCP-682, even if it was for a moment.
- Thankfully, he was able to make friends with a good number of others, including fellow Reality Warper deities. Despite his initial malevolent nature in just wanting chaos without caring for anyone else, he was still able to connect with The Collector, a fellow playful Reality Warper who has grown from his past and wants to be better for their friends. Despite The Collector's distaste for Discord's trickster antics, reminding him a bit too much of Belos and being tricked by him, Discord genuinely regretting his past and wanting to make up for it in the name of his friends has allowed The Collector to cut him some slack and regard him as a genuine friend. From spending time playing games with their chaotic powers spicing their games up to going out to try and be a genuine aid to others when they need it, the two are surprisingly close, with Discord even acting as a mentor at times to help The Collector learn more about his powers and how to be careful with them. As villains who want to do better, Wander was quick to hear of them and approach them to voice his praise for them. Discord grew to like Wander due to him easily reminding him of Fluttershy with his optimistic approach to others and belief in the best in everyone, while The Collector was ecstatic to meet another person who wanders the stars.
- On the topic of the stars, Discord tends to spend his time up there, seeing that as a way to safely test out any playful ideas he has without causing any real damage to the Pantheon, especially since he keeps finding that they vanish without anything or anyone getting hurt. He was able to finally get an answer as to just where they were going when after toying with the idea of creating a giant volcano that shoots ice cream, he found it snatched up in front of his eyes by a giant rolling ball, alongside some stars scattered around space. Looking up to see the roller of this being the King Of All Cosmos, he quickly grew to his size to ask what was going on. On his end, the King answered that he was creating planets and stars out of all the space debris in the sky with his katamaris, saying how they can create life and planets with unique shapes and forms; from sumo-wrestler planets to giant snowmen planets. Seeing that the King Of All Cosmos was just as chaotic and out there as he was without really meaning any harm, Discord quickly forged a friendship with him, allowing the King to use any of his chaotic creations in his katamaris to help formulate just as bizarre planets. This led to Discord hanging out with him and his fellow spacefaring CloudCuckooLander, Honey Hug, happy to spend the day together with them; from testing out any of Discord's crazy ideas and ways to spice up space, narrating and commentating on all the events happening in the Pantheon, and even relaxing in the King's temple and domain, feeling right at home with how chaotic he is.
- Of course, in the vast world of outer space, many different planets are to be expected, especially with the King creating them. However, one planet he has confirmed he never made was one that hosted an intergalactic amusement park called Merry Magoland. Walking among the park and being in awe at all the attractions and games, Discord decided he just had to meet the host in person to congratulate him. Popping up on Magolor's computer screen before popping out in person, Discord greeted himself and congratulated Magolor on the amusement park. Despite the scare, Magolor took it in stride and was able to talk about how that was always his goal. Opening up to each other more, Discord soon found out that Magolor was a lot like him in a way; two villains with their own agendas who backstabbed the protagonists for their own personal goals of power and freedom (though Magolor does admit one could justify Discord's backstab and turning to Tirek given how Twilight and her friends, save for Fluttershy, treated him more like a hazard and didn't want to reach out to him, even if Discord is willing to carry that guilt and shame), only to be beaten down and work their way back up to earn their trust, even if they still retain their trickster nature. As such, Discord has decided to offer to work with Magolor to help expand and improve his park and rides, with Magolor happy to have someone who understands him as a friend. Whenever they're not working on Merry Magoland, they're out having a laugh with harmless pranks and jokes aimed at unsuspecting deities.

- For all his power, as proven by Tirek and Chrysalis, his chaos magic is still magic, which means it can be drained, or be nullified by an Anti-Magic field. He can't even fly with his mismatched wings. That said, one has to know how to work his magic to utilize it at his level, as Cozy Glow can attest to after she, Tirek, and Chrysalis drained his magic with the Bewitching Bell. As a being full of magic, Flowey toyed with the idea of somehow getting Discord to use his magic on him to turn him back into his Asriel form, before quickly discarding it. However, Discord, being the omnipotent hearer he is, was able to hear this and quickly meet up with Flowey to talk about it. Hearing of how he was stuck was a flower and just how long he was stuck like that even after his game was released, Discord decided to take action, and with a snap of his fingers, was able to turn Flowey back into his Asriel self. Stunned and grateful for this, Asriel hugged and thanked Discord before running off to share the good news with his friends and prepare to talk to his parents about it. He still can't enter his God of Hyperdeath forms and is still in his kid form, but Asriel can at least turn back into his Flowey form and vice-versa whenever he wants to now. Given how Asriel is aware of the timelines changing and isn't affected by these changes like Discord, the two take time to talk and reminisce about old features and landmarks the Pantheon had; from the Fallen and the Disgraces to the many small groups that popped up, including one dedicated to keeping Flowey's role as The Mole a secret, they are aware of them all and can have a good laugh about how far they came.
Discord: Almost a decade now that poor goat was trapped as a flower?!? Goodness gracious! You guys should stop hyping up new deities just because they left that hype prevention sandbox or are the hip thing of the week and start revisiting your old barebones drafts you call profiles!
- The Bewitching Bell is one that Discord personally admits he wasn't prepared for in all of his powers and knowledge. He still views trusting Tirek and allowing himself to betray his pony friends as a worse moment for himself, but he admits that not preparing for the bell to be used on himself ranks up there as well. Of course, such a powerful bell that can erase magic from beings as powerful as Discord would be one that many deities seek out for their own reasons. Discord has placed back in the mountain he had Cozyglow, Queen Chrysalis, and Tirek climb to get it the first time, and intends to leave it there. However, he can still bring it out if needed. During one day, he found himself stuck in the middle of Jafar and Genie using their genie magic to push each other back, ranging from them turning into animals to bite and slash one another, to summoning severe weather to distort the other. Picking up that Jafar was the villain here who wanted to take over Agrabah, Discord decided to summon the Bewitching Bell to strip Jafar's genie powers and bring him back down to his sorcerer form before sealing the bell back up. Jafar was livid at this stunt, and while he was able to find a way to get his genie form back thanks to Hades and Maleficent aiding him, Genie meanwhile was willing to listen and hear Discord out about his past and history. Realizing that Discord is genuinely a good guy (or at least tries to be), Genie is more than open to befriending the spirit of chaos, inviting him on his worldly travels, wanting to experience the world whenever he feels like Aladdin can hold down the fort. He was also introduced to Iago, another villain who ended up defecting and rejecting any plans to betray their new friends after being shown kindness. While cautious about how powerful and messy his powers can be, Iago still saw the same kind and fun-loving nature he did in Genie and befriended him as well, even joining him and Genie for their world-traveling escapades. They still have fond memories of turning a hot Saturday in Paris into a winter wonderland and ice-skating around the Eiffel Tower for a bit to cool down.
- Has grown to enjoy Halloween, as it means he has a bit more leeway with his actions, as long as he keeps it to harmless scares, which he certainly tries his best to do. After helping The Collector set up for the holiday with their reality-warping powers, he ended up spotting a parade going through the temple. As it turns out, the leader of this parade was Jack Skellington, wanting to use the holiday to spread good-natured laughs. Seeing a rest spot for Jack and his parade of screams, Discord decided to pop in to offer to join in, more than happy to help have fun with him to celebrate Halloween. Seeing Discord's skills and nature, he was quick to accept the offer and took his surprise addition in stride. Aside from a moment with a giant exploding pumping and a flying rat that they both were quick to fix up before continuing the festivities, Jack saw the parade as a huge success and has begun to work with him for future exciting Halloween plans, and was able to bring Fluttershy along to help ensure Discord's ideas don't get too outlandish and to help corral and calm down any animals they may have ideas for.
- As one could probably piece together from all this, Discord has No Fourth Wall, to the point that he was able to look outside the manga he was in and change the story around to his liking before snapping everything back into place when prodded by Celestia. As such, he is more than able to pick up when others can break said wall. One day, he noticed Deadpool having a conversation with the voices in his head in the form of popup text boxes◊. Wanting to have a bit of fun with him, he started to paint those boxes a variety of different colors, startling Deadpool into screaming out for whoever was doing that, only to spot Discord as the culprit. Immediately recognizing him as a mutual friend of Pinkie Pie ever since they broke their own Death Battle to have fun messing around and throwing a birthday party for him together, he was equally just as quick to realize Discord can see just what he sees, and as two jerks who become less jerkish ever since they got influenced by their good friends, Discord and Deadpool have teamed up for any missions they have together, especially if said love ones were in jeopardy. Other times they join up for pranks and mischief without any malice in the Pantheon; regardless of their intentions, many tend to keep a watchful eye out for this duo ever since Discord created that king-size chimichanga within the house of Food, leading to a giant fight between Deadpool and the others to eat it first.
- Has gotten interested in something called "Ogres and Oubliettes" and has used his reality-warping powers to recreate the game in the House of Gaming. It's an amazing hit, especially when he is the one being the dungeon master. Whenever he is on the same field as everyone else, his character is an archer by the name of "Captain Wuzz". One wouldn't think that a scientific genius like Dexter would humor the idea of befriending a Reality Warper Draconequus given his innate love for science. However, Discord being able to literally bring his game to life, and said game being similar to his "Monsters and Mazes" game has given Dexter a motive to try and meet him to see how this game could be. Not even halfway through the game, Dexter was more than well-experienced in his new role of being an Artificer named "Sir Dexterous The Deducer", and has formed a surprising friendship with Discord.
- After trying to take another crack at helping Megan get over her fear of Grogar, this time by dressing up as him in '80s surfing gear while riding the Smooze, he ended up finding his claw hand glowing and illuminating a path to Twilight's temple. Confirming that he wasn't behind it like the time he wanted to be the principal of the Friendship school, they headed on over to the temple to group up with the Mane 6 and see that Twilight's temple now has an added cutie map that shows friendship problems all around the Pantheon, and it turns out the claw hand of Discord's was circling and pointing about Lilo and Stitch's temple. Realizing the map was calling for Discord to go check out the friendship problem by himself, the ponies and Megan were split on what to do, with Applejack, Rarity, and Megan saying the map was out of its mind this time, while Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie, and Rainbow Dash were more than open to letting Discord tackle it himself, saying despite everything, he is pretty reliable at the end of the day. Twilight Sparkle broke the tie, trusting the map and permitting Discord to leave. Unbeknown to him, Grogar was watching on, and was planning on a moment like this; walking on in and claiming her was Discord to get access to the castle's private records.
- Meanwhile with Discord, he was able to meet up with Lilo and Stitch, explaining that he was called here for some reason. He was also accompanied by another Discord he created, reading through the scripts of other cutie-map quests to see how the others handled their quests. While things seemed normal at first, he soon started to notice that Stitch was possessive of showing that he and Lilo were friends at the slightest questioning of their status. Lilo was able to comment saying that for some reason, Stitch thinks for some reason, in the future, Lilo would get bored of him. While commending Stitch for wanting to keep his friendship with Lilo, even if he could loosen up a bit, he soon stopped dead in his tracks and realized just why the map sent him; he already has been in this position with Fluttershy before. This led to him wanting to try and formulate a plan, popping back over to the castle to report his findings and propose his idea. Seeing Grogar there being questioned by a trio of an annoyed Rarity, Applejack, and Megan believing it was Discord has allowed the actual Discord to quickly sneak Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie, and Rainbow Dash aside and affirm that really was Grogar, and has called for the Smooze to help them out, saying the real Discord wouldn't mind surfing on him. After getting the ok for his plan for Lilo and Stitch, he then got to work as the three equines and the Smooze went to bog down Grogar's plans.
- After coming back to meet Stitch again, Lilo and Stitch spent the day learning about things Stitch never thought Lilo would be interested in. From Japanese customs, Chinese lifestyles and landscapes, and even the history of the Samurais. After excusing herself to go somewhere, Lilo then called Stitch to her location, which was a party with...three other Lilos, confusing Stitch greatly. With a snap of his fingers, Discord revealed that they were actually Yuna, Ai, and Meison Yamato. Stunned by this, Lilo and Discord explained that they knew Stitch was loyal to Lilo, but that he shouldn't miss out on the other experiences he could be having. After questioning why would Lilo still leave her in the future, Discord was able to answer with two facts he found; one was that it was Jumba saying it, who doesn't have the best track record with honesty. Secondly was that Lilo was helping Nani with a new baby she was giving birth to, and Stitch was just left out of the loop. Upon realizing he still had fun with these new people, and that Lilo truly didn't leave her, Stitch was able to open up to this group of people and accept them as his Ohana. Discord was proud to do a good job, and went back to the castle to fill the ponies in and invite them over for the party. Seeing Grogar, still trying to hold onto the idea he was Discord even after wiping out and being covered in gunk from the Smooze and being beaten down by Megan, trying to tell him to take his disguise off, he snapped his fingers and turned Grogar into a basketball before throwing him into a dumpster for a three-point shot. Realizing that Discord's technique ended up working in the end and helped cure her fear of Grogar, along with him solving the friendship problem, Megan's stance on him softened, and the ponies and the Smooze happily followed him into a portal to the party as Grogar watched on in disbelief.
Grogar: Oh, that's why... - Meanwhile with Discord, he was able to meet up with Lilo and Stitch, explaining that he was called here for some reason. He was also accompanied by another Discord he created, reading through the scripts of other cutie-map quests to see how the others handled their quests. While things seemed normal at first, he soon started to notice that Stitch was possessive of showing that he and Lilo were friends at the slightest questioning of their status.

- For a while, everyone in Equestria was convinced Discord was going to summon Bill Cipher just for the Mane 6 to beat them. Discord admitting to toying with the idea before it got shot down didn't help matters, nor did the fact that they found what looked like some of his fur in the castle's room with the crystal mirror as if he was toying with it. He knew how dangerous Bill could be and didn't see why he should try to mess with him. Seeing everyone cast doubt on him, including Fluttershy, he willingly left Equestria in a saddened state, just walking out the door instead of poofing away. While this got some, like Fluttershy and Pinkie Pie, to doubt Discord being the culprit, their answer would finally be given by Spike calling them to the room. He was actually the one who was freeing Bill, getting tricked by him and believing he was genuinely nice and was willing to throw for the Mane 6. Bill took the time to laugh at Spike and thank everyone for not believing Discord before kickstarting Weirdmageddon within Equestria, turning many inhabitants into toy ponies to make a throne and the Mane 6 into banners. And Discord took it personally, immediately piecing together what happened and going after him, resulting in a battle between two reality warpers.. The battle reached a climax with Discord invading Bill's mind to try and erase it from the inside out, only for Bill to call his bluff, reach into his own eye, and yank his soul out to burn it alive. Turns out that was exactly was Discord banked on, for he actually teleported them into the Nightmare Realm and sealed his way out, with the portal vanishing into tiny Discord heads blowing a raspberry at Bill, laughing hard enough that it echoed all around the Nightmare Realm as Bill crushed his soul in fury...Only to follow it up with his own loud screaming fury.
- With Equestria saved, Fluttershy found a letter from Discord explaining what happened with Bill and that he holds no ill feelings over everyone about what happened, and to not be angry at Spike since Bill is just that good a conman. The entirety of Equestria was in shock at Discord's Heroic Sacrifice, and Spike was so ashamed of himself he exiled himself until he could make up for this somehow. The Mane 6 were saddened about this, with Fluttershy taking it the hardest by crying her heart out with Pinkie Pie, but soon enough, they remembered that if Discord represents chaos, then they may be able to bring him back with chaos. Quickly rounding up all of Discord's friends, especially his fellow reality warpers within the Pantheon, they were soon able to put a giant party around Discord's temple called a FUN-eral, creating a chaotic funeral powerful enough to bring him back. After an hour of partying, the coffin they had in the center of the room exploded into confetti, revealing Discord in a boxer's outfit, ringing a bell as he declared he's back for another round. Discord was moved and honored to see all his friends here practically celebrating him and was more than happy to hug Fluttershy and the rest of the Mane 6. Celestia personally apologized to him for doubting him and awarded him with another Pink Heart Of Courage for his sacrifice against Bill. The party then shifted into one that for once, celebrated chaos with Discord as the life of the party.
- Meanwhile, in the Nightmare Realm, Bill was still trapped, only able to watch through a nearby birch tree, fuming at how quickly his victory soured. He tried to leave through the portal to the Pantheon he created for himself after being freed by Spike, but Discord also closed that up before the fight and replaced it with a note that had him dressed as a maintenance worker saying "Closed for maintenance; will be back online after lunch." Eventually, Bill was able to make some deals, and after some work helping out Freddy Kruger, dream hopping, information stealing, and agreeing to an evil villain song version of "I'm Finally Me" after losing a staring contest against Dr. Doofensmirtz who wanted to get Crow a Christmas present, he was finally able to get a portal back up and running, finally spawning back into the material realm in front of his temple...only to see Discord right outside, lounging in a beach chair trying to get a tan alongside Doof. Despite Bill trying to goad Discord into attacking by saying how he technically won the fight, Discord did nothing. Bill tried to throw a punch at Discord...only for it to be bounced off an invisible barrier. Only then did Discord acknowledge Bill, casually greeting him and filling him in on what happened. After the fight, seeing how Discord only lost against Bill due to not taking him that seriously, he was able to not only get promoted to being a full-blown Overdeity but also was able to convince the Court Of The Gods to let Spike help in setting up a spell with unicorn hair around Bill's temple, not only to let him help make up for what happened but because his fight in Equestria showed that Bill's presence can destroy reality and mess with physics, showing that he shouldn't just be free to wander around doing his own thing, so putting a unicorn hair barrier around his temple just made the most sense. Doofensmirtz than followed this up, saying he never said where he was going to place Bill's portal. Discord then congratulated Bill's victory by pushing a red wagon through the portal, carrying a cupcake with a soggy "W" on top of it, as Discord hung up a stained-glass letter L on top of his portal to show off how he lost against Bill. Bill got the joke, and was able to go back into his portal and enter a dream being haunted by Freddy Krueger to let out some steam.
Krueger: Oh, Bill! Back so soon? Forgot to do something?Bill: *After a beat, he lets loose a loud yell in his red demonic form, shattering the area around them into glass before returning to normal* Ugh...I hate that mix-and-match mess. I swear, if I hear another comedian say I won the battle but lost the war, I'm rearranging all their body parts and splitting them into four different screaming mouths!Krueger: Oof, sounds like you got put through the wringer, huh? Well more so than usual considering your 2D state. Tell you what; let me finish killing this dozing dope and I'll let you eat them out right from the skull.Bill: Fried screaming human brains?!? Oh, Freddy, you know how to turn my non-existent frown upside down! - With Equestria saved, Fluttershy found a letter from Discord explaining what happened with Bill and that he holds no ill feelings over everyone about what happened, and to not be angry at Spike since Bill is just that good a conman. The entirety of Equestria was in shock at Discord's Heroic Sacrifice, and Spike was so ashamed of himself he exiled himself until he could make up for this somehow.

The party then shifted into one that for once, celebrated chaos with Discord as the life of the party.
- Of course, Discord's legendary fight against Bill wouldn't go unnoticed by Bill's biggest enemies; Dipper, Mable, Stan, and Ford Pines. Mable and Dipper were aware of Discord's malevolent past, but some reassurance and genuine praise from their mutual friend The Collector alongside seeing what Discord did to Bill in his Death Battle was able to help dissolve their fears. Soon enough, Mable was quickly joining Discord and Fluttershy for butterfly catching in zero gravity in his house, while Bill was astonished by his chaotic home, writing down as many notes as he could about the homestead. While another chaotic being got Stan and Ford concerned, Dipper and Mable were able to vouch for Discord's innocence. Stan thought his wares were already enough to trick customers into buying them, but with a snap of his fingers, Discord was able to give him some genuinely bizarre wares; from singing teabags, taxidermy animals hopping to life, and wandering around the shop, head-mounted display animals singing about the history of the Mystery Shack, and maps showing locations of faraway and confusing lands, Stan quickly grew buddy-buddy with Discord, more than happy to ask Discord for help in making the Mystery Shack more mysterious, of course without going too far and hurting anyone, even if it's just because he doesn't want any lawsuits. Dipper and Mable commented that Discord was actually making Stan a more honest businessman even if he didn't realize it. Ford meanwhile was surprisingly patient and willing to understand Discord, easily knowing how easy it is for anyone to make simple mistakes that cost them big time, and is willing to help plan with Discord to ensure that any future plans, especially those dealing with Bill, don't run into any disarray. His friendship with the other ponies from Discord's universe helping him ease his stance against them also helped them bond.
- That said, all their effort still wasn't enough to keep Bill out of Equestria. Granted, the reason for this wasn't because of any big or grand plan; it was because Mxyzptlk was playing with him and was going to leave, only for Bill to sneak through the portal, ending up in Equestria again. While Discord was the first to confront them about what was going on, seeing Mxyzptlk being willing to quickly push Bill back into the Nightmare Realm was more than enough to satiate his curiosity about what was happening. Hearing Mxyzptlk not only praise him and explain his side of the story of trying to reign in Bill's more chaotic and destructive nature through these play sessions, Discord suggested that perhaps that they could swap their usual targets to see how they would fare against them. Hearing of Pinkie Pie and how chaotic she could get, Mxyzptlk was quick to accept and head out, letting Discord target Superman for the day. Greeting himself to the man of Steel as Mxyzptlk's replacement for the day, Discord was more than willing to establish a ruleset with Clark in a similar vein to how Mxyzptlk's rules are; namely, he needs to get Discord to say Discord's name in reverse to "win". Aside from a scare thinking Discord summoned Kryptonite only to realize it was rock candy (and even than Superman had to admit that it was Actually Pretty Funny), most of Discord's pranks involved clouding Clark's flight with cotton candy clouds and chocolate rain, portals that lead to him flying around in circles, and sentient bananas trying to make Superman slip on them. During Superman's day being targeted by Discord, he ended up tracking a villain down into Bizarro's version of Earth, Htrae. Eventually popping into view, Discord ended up saying his name in a boast, only for Superman to say he won, pointing towards a state sign, saying that they were in a state literally called "Reverse". Discord laughed at this revelation and accepted this as a loss, even helping Superman not only get the villain he was looking for but also cleaning up any mess still on Superman.
Discord: *Summons theatre glasses to look at the sign.* "Huh, so this state is called Reverse...and I just said my name in Reverse...Ah, the classic Loophole Abuse! Well played, Clark!" - The Celestia Toymaker was a being that ended up growing interested in Discord after hearing from Bill about how they have similar powers and have a habit of playing with their enemies. Finding his usual teleportation portal leading him to the Toymaker's domain, he soon found the Toymaker appearing before him to challenge him to a game. Noticing just how powerful he was, Discord decided to bite the bullet and see just what he had in mind, only to find to his surprise it was like his "Ogres & Oubliettes" games; each side has one player on the game board that can keep respawning, and the player themselves that controls the board piece. The goal is to get your board piece to hit the opposing player 10 times. Creating a contract that states the game's rules on it and signing it with the Toymaker, Discord accepted the challenge. Despite a close race with neither side cheating, Discord was able to use his piece to cast a portal to blow an incoming arrow and send it straight back at the Toymaker, winning the game. Realizing he lost, he tried to destroy his room in a fit of rage like he always does...only to find that he can't for some reason. Discord than drew his attention to the first letter of each line, when put together, reads "The Toymaker vows to not destroy his room should he lose until the winner leaves." Bidding him farewell, Discord calmly walked out of the room as the Toymaker destroyed his own entire universe with a bigger bang than before, rebuilt it and banned Discord from ever playing with him again.

- Opposed by: The House of Gaming
- Evil Counterpart to: Aesir
- A God of Chaos and Anthropomorphic Personification of Astral World's Chaos after it was discarded to die, only to become a thriving world known as Barian. Don Thousand seeks vengeance against Astral World and all forms of Law for trying to destroy him and Barian World when it refused to die no matter the cost. Fusing Barian World with other realms, destroying everything in his way, brainwashing any who can help him further his goal, and even manipulating a situation so a person will end up on his side anyways. The Barian Emperors were his chosen champions, but all turned against him. He was defeated after absorbing all but one of his champions by his enemies Yuma Tsukumo, Astral, Kaito, and Nasch, but had ensured Nasch would fulfill his goal anyways. Despite this he had made sure to sneak a part of himself into Vector even should he be revived, using Vector's ascension into the pantheon as a chance to ascend himself.
- Don Thousand is bitter enemies with Eliphas, his counterpart and a source of part of his chaos. This feeling is mutual. The same for Astral, who with the full power of the 100 Numbers was stalemated by Don Thousand's duelling skills and lost half of them in the past. He a part of Astral that contains his chaos Number 96: Black Mist as a minion, but Number 96 often ignores his calls to serve him. Don Thousand knows Black Mist is only using him until Number 96 can overthrow him, which amuses Don Thousand with his arrogance. He gets along well with Vanitas a fellow ally of Black Mist, due to being the embodiment of the negative side of an individual. Though Don is one on a far grander scale.
- As Eliphas embodies the extremes of order, Don Thousand embodies the extremes of chaos. Chaos itself is not a malign force in his world as it's the source of life and helps with development, but he doesn't understand or care that there also needs to be order. Eliphas might be a Knight Templar, but Don Thousand is a lot worse. He represents the evils of chaos just as Yaldabaoth represents the evils of order. As such, they are diametrically opposed to one another.
- Similar to the Chaos Gods in embodying chaos, but twisting it into something evil due to being an extreme. In both series Both Order and Chaos are Dangerous, but Chaos is generally seen as worse. Though while his verse is relatively optimistic, the 41st millennium is a miserable place which contributes to the Chaos Gods' evil. Though there is mutual understanding because of their nature, the more...unpredictable nature of the Chaos Gods and his own ambitions makes any alliance they have tenuous. Also, chaos in Zexal is able to be better than law than in Warhammer as life in Don Thousand's series can exist without order, but not without chaos.
- Those who have suffered manipulation via brainwashing, corruption, and other such means have made him their personal enemies, with the last of Sora, Sartorius, Terra, Aqua, and Ventus seeing him as a poisonous existence that only brings suffering. Worse yet he is not just an embodiment of darkness, but light too. Though he prefers to manifest in his lesser form to hide his true divine appearance. Korra meanwhile sees him as the third coming of Vaatu, knowing his victory against Astral World would be worse for everyone else with no one to oppose him.
- He shares a similar status in the Yu-Gi-Oh universe as Zorc Necrophades; malevolent god-monsters behind the evil of the series, corrupting others. While they share a similar dark aura, they differ in other ways. Zorc wishes to destroy the world and is Made of Evil, but Don Thousand wants the Earth to exist to merge with the Barian World and is more of a chaos extremist than a destroyer. Thus, they are rivals instead of allies.
- Lucifer and the forces of Chaos are not his allies, however, as Lucifer knows that Don Thousand betrays and absorbs all those he can in their moment of weakness to make himself more powerful. Don plans to be the only one standing when he obtains his victory and Chaos refuses to allow such self-destructive chaos that benefits no one to reign. That being said, they both tend to embody chaos in its extreme, it's just that Lucifer's the more reasonable lord of Chaos.
- Both agree that YHVH is one of their primary enemies, however, being an extreme Mad God of Law which equates to order in Don Thousand's mind.
- His former puppet Vector loathes him both for one-upping him and for using him again to get into the pantheon. Though he has yet to exploit it Don has made it clear he can force Vector to serve him, unlike Nasch.
- The House of Gaming dislikes him due to his cards being ridiculously overpowered, which can be detailed here. His strongest monster, Numeronius Numeronia, has 100,000 attack and defense pointsnote that resists destruction and forces the opponent to attack it(which is practically suicide) or they'll lose the duel. Since Dartz is an enemy of his due to his own experience with brainwashing, he's able to challenge him with an equally broken deck.

- On that day when the sky fell away, their world came to an end. The fifth Smash Bros Tournament was meant to be the greatest celebration of video gaming the world has seen yet. All previous participators made a shocking return with a handful of anticipated newcomers. Everyone's joy was cut short when Lord of Light, Galeem arrived with his army of Master Hands. The Smash Brothers (and Bash Sisters) stood their ground against Galeem but nearly all were atomized by Galeem’s light. Galeem’s light did not end with them as it reached across universes and time itself to turn everything to ashes. Rising upon those ashes were the Spirits of those who had fallen, and those Spirits inhabit a new world created in Galeem's vision. The defeated fighters were trapped in a purgatory, where their trapped bodies produced clones in their images for the Spirits to inhabit. Meanwhile as Galeem reigned over his new world, his dark counterpart was waiting in his dark hell where no light could shined. That being was the Embodiment of Chaos and Darkness, Dharkon. The survivors of Galeem's onslaught would traverse the new universe they found themselves, freeing their fellow fighters and fighting the endless Spirits from Galeem and later Dharkon's command. Galeem and Dharkon were inevitably defeated, and the Spirits they captured spiraled away back to their respective world and the times they belonged to. It was the ultimate brawl for survival, bringing an end to the worlds of light and worlds of dark.
- To say that the entire Pantheon was freaking out throughout this situation would be an understatement of the eon. It would have been pretty horrific to lose almost all the fighters as is, though to lose perhaps an endless amount of people to Galeem's light was unprecedented. The true victim count probably exceeded quadrillions, though the Spirits that hounded the fighters were hundreds at a time in both Galeem's and Dharkon's realms. It would be easy on paper to send extremely powerful people from the Pantheon to resolve this, but not even Overdeities were exempt from being turned to Spirits. Why there was no contact to the Pantheon in the years where they were trapped by Galeem and Dharkon was due to Master Hand severing connections to prevent leakers spoiling the tournament's surprises.
- The Sole Survivor of Galeem’s onslaught was Kirby who escaped via the Warp Star. The newcomers who arrived later were spared from Galeem’s attack, with them eventually joining Kirby and the other rescued fighters to stop Galeem. Galeem would be defeated by their accumulated forces, only for Galeem to retreat when Dharkon moved to attack his vulnerable nemesis. As the Smash fighters were accidentally sent to Dharkon's realm where the abomination took control of around half of Galeem's Spirit army and the remaining captured fighters. The Smash fighters braved through this nightmarish land to defeat Dharkon as they did with Galeem. By then, Galeem recovered enough to begin a counterattack against Dharkon. The Smash fighters were thrown into a final battle between Galeem and Dharkon with their Spirit armies clashing to universal war. All fighters dove in to end the madness, defeating Galeem and Dhakon in quick succession. With their defeats and no other threats emerging, and they finally escaped back to the Pantheon.
- What Galeem and Dharkon are exactly is never answered, it is undeniable these two despise each other so much that the fighters relied on them doing a Mutual Kill across their different confrontations. It should not even be said that if a single attack from one destroyed different universes, then nobody wants to see what they do unleashing everything they have. It is noted by the fighters that their devastating capabilities are a bit of a deterrent towards using their complete strength. After all, charging up the attack that kills everybody leaves them vulnerable not only to each other but to entities who are capable of ending them too. After their defeat, they did not die. They were turned into Spirits themselves, likely as a final effort to preserve themselves. Every wanted to do something like lock them away in the Timeless Halls so they get as far away from video gaming as possible. Melkor always said he wanted to drag people with him if he was ever imprisoned again... This is not what he had in mind? They somehow escape on the occasion, leading to an entirely new World of Light and Dark Realm to explore. Why the Smashers go back to such dangers is a question they all want to answer for, though why nobody does anything is an equally big question.
- Spirits are typically found possessing the empty shells Galeem and Dharkon produced from the fighters. What abilities and boons they carry are dependent on the Spirit (which can range from individuals, groups, or objects), with the personality of the Spirit transplanting onto the body they inhabit and also being subservient to their respective controller's whims. Not to say that being turned to a Spirit is irreversible as Galeem and Dharkon forced more than a few Spirits to regain form, like Galleom and Dracula to impede the fighters with their power. The fighters upon destroying a Spirit’s body used them as equipment and even manifested their physical forms as means to an end. Though it was relatively easy to transport over a thousand Spirits with them to use as weapons, tools, and transport, the average fighter would say that they wished that the Spirits were less communicative so that their traits wouldn't rub off of them. When Mario started asking Snake why were they here just to suffer, Snake realized this was starting to wear on them mentally.
- Sometimes if they failed against Galeem or Dharkon, the fighters pull out the Reset Button to try again, are more than a few methods that the fighters found that allowed them a reset without suffering gigantic consequences. Some tools for these resets include Time Gears, the Conduit, or the Time Stones were utilized, causing timelines to branch out without seeming end. The Pantheon begged Kang to prune those timelines since he is experienced in dealing with unwanted realities. The conqueror did not pass up on the opportunity as he can have the Pantheon owe him anything for his efforts. Sometimes, an almighty entity such as Kronika or Mercurius forced a "Groundhog Day" Loop on the fighters to find entertainment in their suffering. When the fighters found their influence out, they all dogpiled on the perputrator until they were pulp.
- The Smash invitations were supposed to be a simple affair. Master Hand had people vote in the fourth tournament to be the most wanted fighter and the one who apparently won was Bayonetta. In truth, Sora actually won but Bayonetta was the closest they could from the ballot to put in. Besides forcing to deal with negotiating with Sora's scary benefactors, Master Hand had to deliberate who were also on the table to be invited. The newcomers who showed up later to the tournament outside of Sora were Piranha Plant, Joker, the Luminary, Erdrick, Solo, Eight, Banjo with Kazooie, Terry, Byleth, Min Min, Steve, Alex, Zombie, Enderman, Sephiroth, Pyra, Mythra, and Kazuya. Some were not even set by Master Hand to come as as, or at least were not directly given the invitation. Joker who stole his invitation from a person Master Hand wanted to get. Terry's invitation floated down to him after many other people tried nabbing it. Sothis somehow got an invitation to give to Byleth (a higher being have a lot of connections). The One-Winged Angel hunted down someone to get their invitation so he may hunt Cloud down while Galeem attacked. This led to Master Hand after escaping Galeem's grasp to be confronted by so many people who were angered by being snubbed. Master Hand never thought he would have fight off the likes of Wesker, Sash Lilac, Sol Badguy, The Heavy, and Kaslana to justify that their universes being saved from Galeem and Dharkon.
- There were some requested fighters who showed be potentially invited could have already at the tournament, whether as bystanders, being active elements in the fight, or having simple references to their existence. There were many clamoring for the likes of Shovel Knight, Shantae, or the [[beloved]] Waluigi to join Smash. Maybe they shouldn't have harassed Master Hand with emails to let their feelings known. Most of those who had these aspirations would admit that after being rendered without bodies and seeing how the fighters fought tooth and nail to survive, Smash maybe not what it was cracked up to be.
- Galeem and Dharkon were perfectly capable of having Spirits take their original form to serve as the strongest minions of their armies. Galeem had Giga Bowser, Rathalos, and Galleom when the first encountered the Smashers. On the other hand, Dharkon had Ganon, Dracula, and Marx. That is not getting into the subsequent times they attacked they changed their linups to not repeat with the fighters. Galeem had Peace Walker, Anankos, Mega Rayquaza, and Jubileus. Meanwhile, Dharkon had Perfect Chaos, Phantoom, Princess Shroob, and Ra Moon. The point is that Galeem and Dharkon could have manifested anything to wreak havoc on each other, though seldom use probably to conserve energy. Surprisingly, Tabuu's Spirit was not manifested in a physical form despite having defeated all fighters in the third Smash tournament with one attack just like they did. The likely reason is even though Galeem and Dharkon easily destroyed Tabuu, the entity of Subspace is too much to handle.
- Dharkon only uses Spirits as a means to an end against his counterpart, not wanting the same stagnate existence his counterpart desires. The only thing that Dharkon wants outside of Galeem's death is to create a hellscape where no life outside his own cannot exist. His multiverse-ending beam does not disintegrate and then reconstruct the worlds as Galeem does. Instead, everybody just simply dies and corpses litter the new world of darkness of Dharkon's vision. Almost everybody would be horrified by this except similar abominations who indulge in the monstrous visions of reality that they have. Nekron could only whistle at the thought of having Dharkon's power to handle all of the threats against him. Finding out where Dharkon's Spirit goes is what Nekron seeks as equipping it would have him be unstoppable. That being said, he has to find Dharkon's Spirit first and not a single person who was in those crisis meetings is budging on the location. Not even Melkor would want to speak on it, even if universal destruction is something he would have approved of if it was by his own hands.
- To speak more broadly, most allies of Galeem and Dharkon do not understand the weight of their genocides and see them as means to an end for their ideals. Two notable entities who were turned into Spirits were Ashera and Giygas who are so far gone mentally that they did not care they became floating ghosts. The Dark Star may have been more miffed over Galeem than anything. YHVH, Embryo, Darkseid, and Moebius see Galeem as the ultimate weapon for law. Sailor Chaos, Alien Empera, Don Thousand, and Angra Mainyu see Dharkon as the ultimate spreader of chaos. None of them know how badly things will end for them if they try to directly interact with either entity.
- A person who could have greatly helped the Smashers was Sans of all skeletons and it should be clear to those who know that Sans even as a Spirit can be a powerful weapon against Galeem and Dharkon due to his unalterable memory and insane abilities. The problem is that Sans never bothered to help out, not that one could blame him the fighters themselves had more than enough underlying trauma with what they all went through. At least he left a costume of himself and a mixtape as an apology gift to those he abandoned. Though instead of meandering as everybody thought, Sans went on his own investigation on as to why the Pantheon is letting this happen. So many people like the CPUs have pushed for Galeem and Dharkon to be permanently dealt with but nobody in the Pantheon is budging outside of saying they were dealing with it. Curious of why this status quo is upheld, Sans has been looking into the Pantheon's government but when he leave's Grillby's now... he's Being Watched by some people. Sans knows he is playing with fire but this only interests him further.
- Polygon Man took invitations that were circulating around to "invite" Pantheon members who were in that tournament he arranged to the fifth Smash tournament where he used his powers to enter Smash easily. He does this so that may destroy Master Hand, then torture the fighters from both tournaments with his machinations. Polygon Man was only made aware of the real crisis while he was giving a monologue to the distracted fighters by the cliffside, Polygon Man turned around to see the army of Master Hands approaching them to discover how out of his depth he was. The fighters Polygon Man sent his branded invitations to paid no mind to what happened to Polygon Man... until Nathan Drake quipped the possibility of Galeem using Polygon Man's ability to fuse realities to come after their worlds next. The Playstation All-Stars reluctantly used their invitations to go to the fifth tournament to retrieve Polygon Man's Spirit before his powers could be fully realized. The Playstation fighters (included the ones who showed up in Smash) get along well enough with the Smash counterparts, though were completely thrown off by the lack of Super Moves to finish off their enemies. Kratos could not join their final trip to grab Polygon Man though. His invitation was stolen by a thief.
- While Zeus is a pop culture icon, it is hardly argued that he is a video game icon. Master Hand intended the tournament to be a celebration of video gaming and icons who do not come from a video game-started franchise as fighters are not welcomed, which is why he was never invited to join the All-Stars in their war. Zeus had an idea to sneak to the fifth Smash tournament by disguising himself as his son Heracles to witness such glorious battles. But then Zeus got cold feet upon seeing a spiky-haired gi-wearing man putting fur on himself to pretend to be a monkey to sneak in too. It was that moment seeing Goku was when Zeus realized he was over his head.
- Galeem and Dharkon regard Sora as one of their greatest threats, as the Keybearer's Power of Waking can bring back the fighters from imprisonment just by showing up. All the fighters were trapped by Galeem, and the Keyblade called upon Mario to summon Sora. It was when Mario summoned the Keyblade, Sora arrived from a gate of light to shine upon the purgatory the fighters were trapped in. Mario shook Sora's hand in thanks for saving them, grateful the young man could join them. Galeem and Dharkon were perfectly aware of Sora and his role in the conflict between light and darkness but were both Galeem and Dharkon are afraid of getting the attention of any Keyblade wielder by how unpredictably powerful they can become, especially Sora or Xehanort. Speaking of the latter, Xehanort says Galeem and Dharkon are proof of the destructive imbalance between light and darkness. He would have gone after Galeem and Dharkon himself to end their strife if he wasn't... so dead that his body left reality.
- Vanitas likes Dharkon well enough and has actually showed up in Dharkon's realm, thriving on its chaos as the Spirits hunted the fighters trapped inside. Dharkon did not send any Spirits after Vanitas, recognizing that not only is Vanitas, not a fighter but also a kindred Spirit to himself. Likely because Dharkon is aware Vanitas is a Darkness incarnated to a new form.
- Galeem and Dharkon completely destroying entire universes has been so traumatizing that it has been compared to more than a few genocidal actions too. It has been compared to wiping out half of all life across the universe that Thanos had done, though Thanos would point it is objective that Galeem and Dharkon are WAY more destructive than what the Infinity Stones could bring. Plus, Thanos does not like being compared to these two since not even Death could escape their grasp. Majin Buu's Human Extinction Attack is also brought up though again, a planetary-wide attack pales to a multiversal attack. Majin Buu at least is in Dharkon's good graces by sending Buu to eat at Galeem's Gourmet Race area. Zamasu could actually rival Galeem and Dharkon after becoming Infinite Zamasu where he consumed the universe and tried breaking out of it before Zeno annihilated him. Zamasu respects Galeem for controlling sinful mortals and has tried convincing Galeem to "discipline" the Pantheon. When that did not work, Beerus came to beat Zamasu into oblivion for trying this.
- Shinryu been accused for being why Galeem and Dharkon keep coming back, seeing as the cycles he trapped the Warriors in is what Shinryu used to empower himself. As perverted as Shinryu’s actions in the cycles were, Galeem and Dharkon have little connection to him outside of trapping Warriors Cloud and Sephiroth. Cosmos is more concerned if Shinryu is absorbing the memories of the participants whenever they go into conflict. Cosmos is right on this end, as Shinryu is absorbing the memories of the fighters. Not just the fighters, but the Spirits too and Shinryu hates it. He is actively trying to suppress the amount of memories he gets as there are countless memories he cannot moderate, his senses are drowning in them. It took Lord English trying to kill Galeem and Dharkon for Shinryu to get out of that drunken trance that Shinryu found himself in.
- The Nothing had taken ques from Galeem and Dharkon and became a threat seen on par with them. As a result of the Nothing beginning to purge the entire Warner Bros.-produced multiverse, many from different universes collided to stop the Nothing's destruction... not before beating the crud out each other up in arenas. No action against the Nothing has happened yet since the Nothing's progress is quite slow on the multiversal destruction front and those dragged into that situation took an extensive break on beating each other. It was a break so long that the fifth tournmant resumed. Meanwhile, Spongebob Squarepants went to propose a tournament he headlined to fill the void the fifth Smash tournament left. It wasn’t for fun or for glory, it was to lift people’s hopes in a dark time for the Pantheon where Smash was constantly had its hype stopped by these incidentsSidenote . People found the Nicktoons tournament a relatively inoffensive distraction before returning to focus on Smash which is objectively more momentous and grand.
- Lord Fuse had been more than curious about what Spirits could mean for his army. Much like how Galeem created an army of clones, Fuse can do so just by just extracting the DNA of those he wants under him. However, there are clear discrepancies in power his Fusions have against their originals which equipping Spirits will circumvent. Fuse has been trying to find a way to bring a Spirit trafficking ring to the Pantheon, though his hopes were dashed when Galeem and Dharkon were defeated. Maybe Fuse can develop a way to turn others into Spirits like Galeem could though that is too far of an effort at the moment for his army.
- The Sleeper may grow to be something like Dharkon once it grows up. It is the Sleeper's fate to evolve into an entity with similar powers to The Heart of Darkness, leading to humanity's horrific extinction. The Sleeper may not be able to end universes but that significant power the Sleeper holds would prove to be a liability to the Smashers if the Sleeper attempts to absorb Galeem or Dharkon. That is terrifying to anyone who knows how dangerous alien lifeforms could be.
- Kreese originally didn't care for Galeem and Dharkon, brushing them off as more Overdeities that the Pantheon make up mountains over molehills over... until he heard that one of the beings that turned into spirits are a Labrador Retriever and a Toy Poodle. After that, he started advocating for their destruction, though is only able to talk smack about them as people fight the two. Howard joins him but for a different reason. He thinks that Galeem, given his angelic appearance, is possibly out to judge him for... everything.
- Havik and Hotaru are microcosms of Galeem and Dharkon's ideals and conflicts. Both represent order and chaos due to their upbringings from Chaosrealm and Orderrealm respectively. Due to their extremely opposing values, the two end up being enemies. Does that sound familiar? Granted, not even Havik or Hotaru could say that what Galeem and Dharkon created is utopia compared to their ideals. You are either a floating ghost with no will or a dead person in a black abyss. It made them slightly reflect on their own characters until they both realized they are faltering because of two entities who are far removed from where they are. Such thoughts would only lead to...
FAILURE
Greater Gods
Death the Kid
Death the Kid, God of Absolute (Symmetric) Order Obsession (Kid)
- Greater God, formerly an Intermediate God.
- Symbol: The Thompson Sisters in gun form, positioned symmetrically.
- Theme Music: Bang Bang Have a Nice Dream
- Alignment: Lawful Neutral initially. Now shifting between Lawful Good and Neutral Good.
- Portfolio: Perfectionists Played for Laughs, Obsession with Symmetry, Hover Board Riders, Gunslinging With Two Guns, Holding Those Guns Upside Down, Asymmetric Hair, Grim Reapers
- Domains: Obsession, Philosophy, Combat, Death.
- Heralds: His Weapon partners, Elizabeth and Patricia Thompson
- Allies: Miki Aono, Black☆Star (his partner-in-crime), Maka Albarn, Soul Eater Evans, Crona, Revy, Coyote Starrk, Satya Vaswani/Symmetra
- Enemies: Medusa Gorgon, anything asymmetric.
- Opposes: Excalibur (Of course. (ﺧ益ﺨ) Disgusting...), Kaori Kanzaki (Her clothes aren't symmetrical), Milla Basset (Her bracelets and anklets aren't symmetrical), Nue Houjuu (Her wings aren't symmetrical), Esmeralda (need you ask?)
- On being deified and granted a house, the very thing Death the Kid did was to renovate the house and ensuring that everything is in perfect symmetry. He is capable of analyzing whether something is symmetric or not, to the smallest detail.
- Death the Kid appreciates anything that looks symmetric, to the point of tolerating someone like Revy. However, that didn't extend to Roronoa Zoro, who excels in dual wielding swords, as he carries a lot of swords at once, they often make him look asymmetric.
- Whenever he realizes that he did something asymmetric or destroyed something of perfect symmetry, he'd fall down to his knees and continue beating the ground, sobbing that he's a trash heap and hideous swine for his the asymmetrical act, so hopeless he could just die. It's hilarious, kinda.
- Miki Aono has been telling him that it's okay to look a little off, asymmetric and still be perfect... Sometimes succeeding, sometimes Kid just didn't listen and continues to drown in his BSOD. Though he does learn to appreciate her friendship.
- Is rather miffed that amongst the Deaths residing in the House of Death and Postmortem, his father is not counted amongst them. Some of these "Deaths" disgust him.
- He thought he heard his father within the Pantheon. When he went to investigate, he instead found it to be Coyote Starrk. After a brief misunderstanding, the two get along rather well nowadays, particularly in matters pertaining to handguns... whenever Kid isn't pointing out the asymmetrical-ness of his outfit.
"If you just lost the eyepatch, it would be perfect!" - Is currently taking notes on the Pantheon's "Boobie Trio", after realizing that he has to investigate a phenomenon he referred to as "The Madness of Boobs".
- Unexpectedly, his investigation led to the discovery that Paio, the "founder" of the group turned out to be flat-chested. As he considered such odd one out to be "completely unsymmetrical" for the group, even more so than the breast size differences of his guns Patty and Liz, Death the Kid eventually arranged it that she is to be booted from the group. However, he would recommend her to start out the inversion being a group of flat chested ladies. He hoped the new group would be symmetrical this time.
- Was delighted to hear that his father, Lord Death ascended as the Greater God of Friendly Grim Reapers, leading to a touching reunion between father and son. Lord Death has also taken to help train his son now that he has fully ascended and expresses how proud he is of him.
- He has been working on getting his partners, Elizabeth and Patricia Thompson ascended onto the Pantheon. While he has made some steps by making them his heralds, he proclaimed they deserved proper places here to be with their friends.
- He once deduced that Jennifer Lawrence plus Chris Pratt equals big money, but he was proven wrong due to recent events.

- Partial enmity with: Grimm, Billy and Mandy
- Evil Counterpart to: Discord
- Opposed by: Pacifists and those who embody order, Snow White and the Evil Queen, Alexander the Great
- Sometimes conflated with: Bellona (as Enyo)
- While a lot of Greek gods could prove rather unpleasant, only a handful were seen as outright villainous. Eris is in that handful. Eris is the goddess of strife and discord, and is generally seen as a goddess of chaos. No, not the Primordial Chaos that all divinity is descended from, but the more modern chaos in the form of one's actions. She's a trickster and exists to cause strife for...well basically no reason. She's most well-known for her Apple of Discord; a brilliant golden apple that she would give to the most beautiful of the goddesses. Not wanting to be the judge, Zeus pawned that job to Paris, which led to the Trojan War. Infighting is another of her domains, and her many children tend to be troublesome beings like Dysnomia (anarchy).
- When Eris first ascended, it was under a very specific incarnation; an alluring, slinking vixen that had troubled Sinbad. She ascended to the Pantheon when Melkor was looking for more villains for his cause; the whole mess of YHVH and Lucifer and others creating too many factions in this whole Pantheonic War. He found Eris after seeing how malevolent her slinking was, and invited her to the Pantheon. Seeing the chance to sow more conflict, she accepted. And for a time, things were good for her. That is until her mother came a calling, and told her "remember who you are". This was a trigger phase for Eris to composite her different selves into one. Like many who were gods pre-pantheon she has a variety of incarnations and avatars to draw from. Here are just some of note.
- Asides from her original self, who's conflicting relationship with her pantheon is a story soon to be told, she has a Roman form in Discordia. Unlike, say, Ares and Mars, there is usually no difference between two forms. "Usually" because recent events have shaped Discordia into a more benevolent version. Discordianism touts her as their central goddess, and sees her as a positive if fundamentally chaotic force. She also takes the name Discordia on the Battlefield of the Gods. Many Greek deities believe this form is propaganda, which the Flying Spaghetti Monster seems to have bought. Then again, he can be pretty scatterbrained and doesn't get that her or Discordianism is a Parody Religion. As the incarnation of Dissonant Madness, Emperor Norton is an official saint of Discordianism.
- She is good at making people think she is the goddess of chaos instead of a goddess of chaos. Zagreus thinks she's full of it, considering he met Chaos in one of their only appearances where they're acknowledged as a character and not simply "where everything originates from". She's so good at it that two of her incarnations are known for it. The one who initially ascended stole the Book of Peace from the kingdom of Syracuse and frames Sinbad for the theft. She was surprised and impressed that her ultimately proved to have a heart of gold but promises she'll still be causing chaos and strife down the line. Some have argued this to be here most alluring form, and arguably her most cunning form as well.
- The other incarnation mentioned is the one known by Grimm, Billy and Mandy. Though a malicious figure, her role as a goddess of chaos is necessary as without her job true change is impossible. She has quite the love-hate relationship with Hoss Delgado, but being distracted caused too much order so he broke up with her...she didn't take it well. Grim used to have a to have a thing for her but now recognizes she's a psycho, and is occasionally an enemy of him and the kids who ensnared him. She attempted to get Billy and Mandy to help in spreading chaos, but Billy's sheer chaotic stupidity was too much and Mandy was too evil for her.
- Homer suspects that she is actually the daughter of Zeus and Hera, though this might be due to conflating her with Enyo...better known by her Roman name of Bellona. Others have argued that there are two Erises to explain the discrepancy; the heavenly Eris who represents positive competition, and the more traditional negative Eris. The goddess doesn't care what Homer thought, stating "constructive or destructive, strife and conflict still don't fundamentally change". The idea that Ares and Eris are sisters has entered the media again thanks to Lore Olympus. And if it is wasn't clear from her actions, Eris doesn't hide behind any pretenses that gods are fickle, cruel beings; it's basically her job.
- She gets a lot of flak (not that she minds) from the Greek Pantheon, especially Zeus, Hera (a rare case where they agree), Athena, and Aphrodite (the latter three for getting tempted by Eris's Apple of Discord), Ares (because he favored Troy, which eventually fell), for instigating the Trojan War, causing not only chaos in the mortal world there, but also Mount Olympus, where the gods there also squabbled. Why did she do all this? She wasn't invited to a wedding. A bit like with Maleficent. And the two get along for that reason. That said, Ares still likes her to an extent as they were close friends and companions, and her strife is fertile fuel for his wars. This has only fueled Zeus's negative opinion of his son, reminding him that she sided with Typhon during his rampage.
- While Nyx does love Eris as she is her daughter, even she admits Eris is a troublesome kid. Eris' sister Nemesis is often in ideological conflict with her as she's basically gotten away with even siding with Typhon, has called her lover Tartarus her abode and her discordant nature is in conflict with her role as a goddess of retribution and swift, divine justice. Thanatos is sometimes roped as the straight man between his sisters. Eris will sometimes explore other pantheons, to meet up with likeminded gods, only to disagree on how they go about spreading discord. Set likes her, however he feels her not having an endgame isn't imaginative; he has much bigger goals in spreading chaos. Ratatoskr is good at causing strife by spreading rumors and Loki is a consummate trickster god, but being trickster deities they are more likely to try and one-up each other than work together. This doesn't mean they don't get along, however.
- Her Apple of Discord isn't inherently magical; it's just meant to be a pretty golden apple meant to inspire conflict. "To the fairest", of course. Those lines strike a sour note to both Snow White and the Evil Queen due to their shared histories, but they are too focused on opposing each other to oppose Eris. Not that she has anything to fear from them, of course. Alexander the Great has bemoaned "that accursed apple" because it reminds him of a similar line he made at the end of his life, who's ambiguity helped fuel a Succession Crisis; his empire would go "to the strongest".
- Though an ally of Melkor, Eris has also managed to become the ally of Lucifer. Yes Eris is Chaotic Evil, but of the chaos over evil variety. Lucifer's desire to create a world where the strongest survive in an eternal revolution would definitely empower Eris because it would create eternal strife. As such, Eris manages to have an allegiance to both the GUAE and GUAC, though more often than not she does her own thing as she's not in this for either's revolution. It's possible that Lucifer sees her more for her Discordia aspect in her. Her work with Lucifer is bolstered by a shared contempt for those who represent order. Especially YHVH; His desire to end The Evils of Free Will would bring an end to strife, discord and conflict. Also, YHVH can't stand the existence of any other deity, so there's another reason to oppose Him.
- Having spent so long as the representative of the Evil Slinks trope, one might think she would feel offended by Double Trouble having held the trope before she reclaimed it. In reality, she had actually been all for their ascension, having whispered he was deserving of Liminal Being as well so she could keep them around when she gained the Apple of Discord back. She just wanted to see what the mercenary would do with it, and she was very impressed. As a figure who lives for chaos Double Trouble was quite grateful for Eris' patronage, especially since her only rule besides "don't turn on me personally" to avoid wrath is "keep doing what you do best". They are certainly better at it than Envy, though Eris doesn't mean that in an insulting way; she congratulated the homunculus on how their killing of a child caused an entire war to spiral out of it. Naturally the Elric brothers and Scar especially are disgusted at a goddess who would start wars via breeding strife for the pettiest of reasons.
- The Imperium of Mankind believes Eris to be a high-ranking Chaos Daemon, to which she's insulted; she is a god and not some being who acts within the Warp. But in terms of personality and her role, no-one is shocked by the comparisons the Emperor made. Eris believed that she would get along with Khorne however besides always being angry just because he thrives on strife and war does not mean he agrees on her methods. He finds using an Apple of Discord to be a form of trickery, which makes him rage. It's more of a tactic that Tzeentch uses. The two do share a loathing for Nurgle, as Eris finds stagnation a distasteful thing as little discord can be brewed from it. Of course, there's the exact opposite of that in Hajun's Hate Plague. While she thought she would like what he does at first glance, the sheer totality in his omnicide (emphasis on totality) and absolute unreasonable nature of the Mad God is just too much.
- There have been rumors that she and Discord used to have a thing for each other. However, the draconequus has denied ever having an affair with her, and since his Heel–Face Turn, he takes time to protect Equestria from Eris's schemes whenever she feels like coming around there, usually in the form of a genderswapped version of him named Eris to mess with him. That said, it's also a possibility that they have a connection; perhaps Discord is her Alternate Self from the MLP universe. After all, no-one knows where Discord comes from and the name is just three letters off from Discordia. Either way, Eris detests the heroic MLP deities, not because of The Power of Friendship, but that they represent harmony; her philosophical opposite. Mythologically Harmonia is meant to be her opposite, and ironically enough she's the daughter of Ares.
- Others have shipped her Dreamworks incarnation with the Disney version of Hades. While that version is fond of scheming with Eris to take out Hercules and making war against Zeus, and the Kid Icarus Hades loves causing general havoc with Eris, the most mythologically accurate versions of Hades have no patience for Eris. The Disney version of Hercules isn't surprised they get along; they really are Birds of a Feather. In spite of the rivalry between the Dreamworks and Disney companies, Eris has a liking towards many Disney villains because of their audacious flair. Maleficent is still her favorite of course, but any proud, flamboyant and classic Disney baddie is one she's likely to push in order to spread strife. From her own company, she's fond of Pitch Black, and outside of either companies she gets along with Hexxus. The pollution elemental is a charismatic singer, ever-shifting and totally evil so he's not surprised.
- Eris is a goddess of strife but she will always honor her word. And like Set she may love chaos, but Apophis' carnage is abominable. Eris is also disturbed by the Batman Who Laughs as his morbid sense of what funny would have all creation devour itself in his twisted image just because he wants to laugh at the burning ashes. Even Eris can't imagine anyone not as deranged as that shadow that was once Bruce Wayne finding what he does funny. Unsurprisingly he considers her vision rather limited for a god. That said TBWL is an extreme example; Eris is still willing to work with monsters like Melkor and she is a friend of Bill Cipher. She may not be as sadistic as them, but she agrees with the triangle that even the laws of reality shouldn't get in the way of your chaotic fun. The fact that TBWL is still too much for her is either testament to how deranged he is, or she just finds him tasteless.
- One surprising mortal that she likes is the Rumor Weed. The embodiment of Gossip Evolution, Eris sees her as a living, weed-shaped Apple of Discord. Maybe it's because she's reminded of her kids; one of them is Pseudea, the embodiment of lies. She has a special garden set up for her, which has a replica of the Iron Throne. Why? Simple; she sees that throne as being almost as good at inspiring conflict than her own Apple of Discord. Littlefinger is fascinated by Eris as a goddess, as he strives to utilize chaotic strife to climb up the social ladder. Though Eris is no war goddess, her role as someone who brings strife and discord means war isn't too far behind..that might be why Ares is one of the only Greek deities who likes her, and it is definitely why pacifists oppose her. Another part of the garden is a magically enhanced telescope that lets her view the dwarf planet that shares her name. And as its discovery set the dominoes to demoting Pluto to dwarf planet, she's gotten some complaints from that world's residents.
Intermediate Gods
CM Punk
Phillip Jack "Phil" Brooks, God of the Straight Edge (The Voice of the Voiceless, The Straight Edge Savior, The Second City Saint, The Best in The World, CM Punkrock)
- Intermediate God
- Symbol: A bandaged arm with an X drawn across the back of the hand grabbing a lightning bolt, or a red six-pointed star of the Chicago flag
- Theme Song: Cult of Personality, This Fire Burns
- Alignment: Chaotic Neutral with Chaotic Good tendencies
- Portfolio: Smug Straight Edge Fundamentalist (sometimes), Lover of Competition (and of Women), Pipe Bombs, Habitual Line-Stepper, Jerk with a Heart of Gold.
- Domain: Liberation, Healing, Weather, Competition.
- Followers: Smarks, Recovering Addicts, Straightedge, The City of Chicago.
- Allies: AJ Lee (his wife), Daniel Bryan, Cyclops, Dr. Tommy Oliver, Setsuna F. Seiei, AJ Styles
- Rivals: John Cena (more like a Worthy Opponent), Rey Mysterio (more like a Friendly Enemy), The Undertaker, Jeff Hardy, Matt Hardy, The Wyatt Family, Randy Orton, Roman Reigns, Seth Rollins, Dean Ambrose
- Worthy Opponent: Billy Kane
- On speaking terms with: Mai Shiranui
- Enemies
- In general: Drinkers, Drug Addicts, Smokers and "suits", "Stone Cold" Steve Austin
- Seeks to replace one of the many wrestling deities, preferably Steve Austin; he's a noted drinker, which makes Punk "better than him!"
- Also takes issue with Batman's claim that "Punk is nothing but death and crime and the rage of a beast."
- His only two addictions are fighting and Diet Pepsi. It is STRONGLY advised not to spill his Diet Pepsi unless you want to have your face caved in by his GTS or have your neck broken by the Anaconda Vice.
- Has received many letters from members of the House of Love, eagerly requesting his presence. The many rumors surrounding his love life with many female wrestlers has made them quite intrigued to see what he can do.
- Then it was revealed that he got engaged and later got married to AJ "who pushed him into a table" LEE of all people, shocking the whole pantheon in the process.
- Whenever CM Punk has used a microphone, it is carefully taken care of by the bomb experts of the Pantheon. To say that his mic skills can cause some noise would be a great understatement.
- In the mortal realms, he is worshipped by three cults: The Straight Edge Society, The New Nexus and The Voiceless. Both of the two first mentioned cults sees him as a divine and demanding king who must be served and obeyed at any cost, but while the SES believes that pledging your never-ending loyalty to Punk, shaving your head and living the Straight Edge life is enough to enter the Pantheon, the New Nexus believes that this path also has to be paved by self-torture. In recent time many followers have left both the SES and the New Nexus in order to join the Voiceless, a group who believes that CM Punk is a divine hero who is fighting for his worshippers as well as the people in the mortal realms who are held back by those who wish to silence them. He is also one of the preferred deities of the We Hate Cena Coalition, as they have anointed him as the most likely candidate to destroy John Cena.
- Despite being the complete opposite of fellow god John Cena, Punk has admitted that he respects him enough, despite hating the idea that he was once billed as the world's greatest wrestler. In fact, it was due to their epic clash in Money in the Bank 2011 that cemented his seat in the Pantheon...not that he'll ever admit that last part.
- For the record the "CM" in "CM Punk" can be anything you want it to be but officially it started as Chick Magnet.
- Called out the Undertaker at Paul Bearer's tribute event... by interrupting the ceremony and replacing the image of Paul with that of his own. This ended badly as The Undertaker truly decimated him at the following Wrestlemania. He's backed away from the Deadman since.
- Is currently seeking the ascension of his ally Bryan Danielson, aka Daniel Bryan. Was happy to find Bryan in the House of Quirks, chanting "YES! YES! YES!" when he arrived.
- Is a self-proclaimed fan of superhero deities such as Wolverine, Captain America and Spider-Man. Also likes to shout "It's CLOBBERING TIME!!!" when he makes an entrance.
- He recently met Cyclops, of all people, and they found themselves a "Cult of Personality".
- Wasn't happy to find Rey Mysterio in the Pantheon for two reasons. First, was the reason that Rey is still partially mad over how Punk sang to his daughter at her birthday (and Punk got his ass kicked in the process at Wrestlemania 26). The second was how Rey shaved his hair bald during Punk's Straight-Edge Society's days. He has since apologized for his behavior.
- And when he found that Jeff Hardy got to the Pantheon... let's just say that Punk being unhappy about the development would be a serious understatement.
- Doesn't see eye to eye with Christian, since unlike Christian, Punk doesn't go out every night, bitching and moaning, and bitching, and bitching (ad infinitum)...
- Absolutely doesn't like the idea of both Hardy Brothers being "Broken" and would honestly like to give them a good slap across the head.
- Many think he's against scantily clad women because one of the codes of straightedge is the rejection of promiscuous sex. So they were surprised to discover that he and Mai Shiranui can actually hold a friendly conversation. The truth is he cares a lot more about the drugs and alcohol aspects of straightedge and actually really loves women, having had a string of relationships in the wrestling business before his wife. In fact, it turns out he respects both the Honey Trap tactic involved and the dedication to her clan's discipline.
- When things such as the classification status of the Pantheon's wrestlers started being assessed more seriously, Punk demanded that he be counted as an alumnus of Ring of Honor rather than WWE. Despite becoming a mainstream name through Vince's promotion, Punk feels the best traits that propelled him to that point came from his time in ROH when he got tired of holding back in accordance with Vince's corporate desires.
- An urban legend exists that Punk has secretly returned to wrestling through masked appearances at shows in lodges the Midwest United States. For a long time he kept quiet, refusing to address this. And then Punk blew all of this out of the water by making his long-rumored debut appearance at All Elite Wrestling, serenaded by his hometown fans chanting his name as he described coming to AEW as rekindling his lost passion for professional wrestling.
Lesser Gods
Anna Nishikinomiya
Anna Nishikinomiya, Goddess of The Dangers of Political Correctness
- Lesser Goddess, though she can jump to Intermediate when motivated or angered
- Symbol: Her personalized neckband and bracelet. Alternatively, a bottle of her "Love Nectar"
- Alignment: Lawful Good but can become Chaotic Neutral if Tanukichi Okuma is involved.
- Portfolio: Obsessed with Okuma, Action Girl, All Women Are Lustful, Beware the Nice Ones, Broken Ace, Charles Atlas Superpower, Clingy Jealous Girl, Cute and Psycho, Hopeless Suitor, The Immodest Orgasm, Large and in Charge, Lecherous Licking, Love Makes You Crazy, Sheltered Aristocrat, Statuesque Stunner, Weak to things related to Okuma, Yandere
- Domains: Purity, Politics, Love, Obsession, Sex
- High Priests: Fluffy and Uranus
- Allies: Tanukichi Okuma, Ayame Kajou, Ikaruga, Makoto Niijima, Hinagiku Katsura, Cuuko, Satsuki Kiryuin, Misaki Ayuzawa
- Rivals: Junko
- Enemies: Judge Claude Frollo, Tsukuyomi, Evil Terrorists and Tyrants
- Acquainted with: Esdeath
- Conflicting Opinions: Kotonoha Katsura
- Anna Nishikinomiya is the perfect embodiment of the laws and values of the society she lives in, she is pure and good in almost every sense. However, that didn't last long, because of an Accidental Kiss with Tanukichi Okuma, Anna started to develop strong feeling for him and because of her sheltered upbringing, she became obsessed with him to the point of almost assaulting him numerous times. That and many reasons involving the law that her parents created that outlawed the use of profanity and other lewd material is why she was given the position she holds in the pantheon.
- Was glad to learn that Ayame was part of the pantheon and she mostly gave Anna a rundown of how the pantheon works. Nowadays she has come to understand that her love for Okuma wasn't as good as she thought and eventually stopped pursuing him. That said, some people are still wary about her considering what she did in the past, namely the events involving her cookies and her "Love Nectar".
- Compared to other Yanderes, Anna isn't that bad but she nonetheless is terrifying for some. She has threatened other girls that have shown interest in Okuma but nothing bad ended up happening. But the pantheon authorities will recommend you that you should be careful when mentioning him in front of Anna.
- For someone who look like a regular and peaceful student, Anna is surprisingly strong and agile and she could give some of the pantheon's best fighters a run for their money. And when it Okuma-kun is involved, she gets even stronger.
- That said, Kotonoha is one of the few members that has conflicting views on Anna, mostly given how she almost raped Okuma once but Anna has also told her that she considers those event an Old Shame of hers.
- Given her role as her school's Student Council President, Anna wanted to be part of the House of School before she was assigned a title. Even considering her shaky track record, people like Makoto Niijima or Hinagiku Katsura who share similar positions welcome her with open arms.
- Speaking of school representatives, the one that understands her situation is Ikaruga, who at times also failed to hold public decency and often ended being naked thanks to special circumstances.
- Of all people that ended up on good terms with her, no one expected Esdeath to take an interest in Anna. She values her leadership and her strength, especially considering that she also is smitten by a boy who won't return her feelings. Anna appreciates the General's compliment, but prefers to just keep it casual with her as she heard very nasty things about Esdeath's employers. Ironic considering that Anna had a similar position like Esdeath.
- Purity is one of the defining traits of Anna, before the Accidental Kiss that drove her to love Okuma. Even if some of things she did to try and win Okuma's affection were rather immoral, she personally believed that to be ok just because she was driven by pure love. As such, Anna was once considered a very strong candidate for Pure Is Not Good until Junko ended up taking it. They have a low key rivalry but otherwise don't much for the other.
- However, one such person who considered himself pure and compared himself to Anna was Claude Frollo, believing that both of them were kindred souls. Needless to say, Anna is completely disgusted by Frollo's action and how he defiles the concept of purity.
- Part of the House of Leadership have a hard time believing that Anna has changed her views for good, considering that she was pretty much The Dragon of her parents in spreading their ideologies, even if she personally believed them to be for the greater good.
- Quickly noticed that Cuuko sounded somewhat similar and became friends instantly. Helps that they also obsessed with someone else and tried to forcefully win their affection, which ultimately failed for both.
- Something similar happened with Misaki Ayuzawa, who also shared similar voices with her and also happened to be a Student Council President.

- Hotaru: Every Deified Ninja In The Pantheon, Including Ryu Hayabusa, Kasumi, Ayane, The Ascended Members Of Gessen Girls' School (Yumi, Yozakura, Murakumo, Shiki, Minori)
- Enemies: Each other.
- Havik Only: The Cage Family, Jacqui Briggs, Mileena, Raiden (due to corrupting them all with the Blood Code), Takeda Takahashi (for maiming Scorpion), Hanzo Hasashi/Scorpion (due to said maiming and Hanzo ripping his head off), Onaga (for wishing to bring his brand of order to the realms) Skarlet (for killing Reiko in order to gain Shinnok's amulet), Ermac (for attempting to use his souls to break through the Netherrealm's cosmic barriers), Quan Chi (for killing him in regards to said amulet), Liu Kang, Kung Lao, Kitana

- In General:
- Havik and Hotaru. The Cleric of Chaos and the Commander of the Seidan Guard. They both can't stand one another, and yet, they both found themselves having not only ascended to the Pantheon, but also they both share a title. Whether this was intentional or for the amusement of the other gods, one can't say.
- Both men also met violent ends. For Havik, his dismembered head had been crushed into paste by Quan Chi. As it turned out, it had been Quan Chi who was the architect behind the Blood Code Incident during the 25-Year-Prophecy in an attempt to retrieve Shinnok's amulet, and Havik had been given the task to reclaim it for the Netherrealm. Havik was successful in his task, but decided to use it to invade the Netherrealm instead, backed by the aforementioned enslaved Kombatants (save for Sub-Zero). He was ultimately thwarted by Hanzo Hasashi, who ripped his head off and hand-delivered it to the Netherrealm.
- Hotaru's demise came at the hands of Kuai Liang. Acting on orders of the Dragon King, Onaga, Hotaru was tasked to hunt down both Sub-Zero and Kenshi Takahashi, following their decimating several Tarkatan hordes that had failed to kill them. Hotaru had came across the pair and attempted to blind both men with a sneak attack. While he was successful with Sub-Zero, Kenshi was unaffected, as he was blind. Kenshi then proceeded to split Hotaru from groin to gullet.
- It had been Khorne and Tzeentch who were being both Havik's ascension and resurrection. The Cleric of Chaos had been revived and told of his place among the Pantheon. Havik now sees the Pantheon as a new place to spread Chaos and anarchy. Then Khorne and Tzeentch told him that he is a co-deity with his most hated rival. To seal the deal, Tzeentch presents Havik with the Kamidogu of Chaosrealm, which contains the Blood Code.
- For Hotaru, It had been Onaga, the Dragon King, who had successfully petitioned the ascension for his most loyal subordinate, the Seidan Guard Commander Hotaru. However, Hotaru has been dead since the Battle Of Armageddon. Onaga rectified that problem by reviving Hotaru himself, and telling him of his new status. Hotaru is humbled and swears his loyalty to Onaga once more. The downside is that he shares godhood with his most hated enemy. To counter Havik, Onaga presents him with the Orderrealm Kamidogu.
- Both gods have immediately taken sides in the GUAC-GUAL War, Havik joining Lucifer, while Hotaru signing on with YHVH. While Hotaru is the more disciplined of the duo, Havik is very unpredictable.
- Both Havik and Hotaru have been actively recruiting Avatar Korra to their respective sides, due to her facing both extremities of Order (in the form of Kuvira, the master metalbender and military commander of the Earth Kingdom), and Chaos (in the form of Zaheer, the leader of the Red Lotus). Of course, the Avatar would much rather prefer it that they leave her alone, as she finds both men to be nuts.
- Exclusive To Havik:
- Havik is a Cleric of Chaos, his home being that of the Realm of Chaos. It is a place where chaos is practiced by its denizens as a religion. There is no form of government, and the Chaosrealmers hold absolute freedom and change in the highest of regards. Simply put, Chaosrealm is an anarchist's wet dream. They are at war with Seido, the Realm of Order, due to its vast reserves of water, of which Chaosrealmers also worship due to its formless nature.
- Just how twisted are the Chaosrealmers? Johnny Cage and Sonya Blade provided a demonstration by cold-cocking two of Havik's followers, Johnny punching out a female Chaosrealmer, while it had been a male Chaosrealmer for Sonya. The former's response to Johnny: "You know how to treat a lady," while the latter's response to Sonya was, "Thanks. I needed that."
- Speaking of the Cage Family, they along with those who had been corrupted by the Blood Code were not too happy upon finding out that Havik had ascended to the Pantheon, as the aforementioned incident is still a sore spot for all parties involved, be it good or bad. But what worries them is the fact that he still can corrupt any God with the Blood Code. And there are some serious powerhouses in the Pantheon, and should they end up being inflicted...
- Havik has found a worthy ally in Chaos in the form of Gul'dan. Gul'dan is intrigued by the Chaosrealm Kamidogu and of the blood magik Havik used to enslave the Kombatants.
- Quan Chi was not very happy to find out not only that Havik has ascended to the Pantheon, but also that he is in possession of the corrupted Kamidogu. Quan Chi knows that Havik could just as well corrupt him with the Blood Code.
- Havik is on the shit-list of most of the parents in the Pantheon. This stems from having Skarlet corrupt Cassie Cage (Johnny and Sonya's daughter) and Jacqui Briggs (Jax's daughter) with the Blood Code, right before unleashing the enslaved girls onto Johnny and Sonya. It had also been both Cassie and Jacqui who in turn, inflicted the Blood Code onto Johnny and Sonya respectively.
- For some reason, if Havik takes a leap from a high place against his will, he could be heard saying "This Is Gonna Suck!"
- Exclusive To Hotaru:
- "There is an order to the universe — laws that all of nature must obey. For centuries I have imposed order on those who would wreak havoc." Hotaru is the commander of the Seidan Guard, Seido's police force. Seido, or Orderrealm, is the diametric opposite of Chaosrealm, where they value law over freedom. As Hotaru puts it, "Freedom leads to anarchy, anarchy leads to Chaos, Chaos leads to suffering." So harsh are Seido's laws, that one can be stuck in jail for years just for breaking curfew, as Shujinko found out the hard way.
- Johnny Cage had trained under Hotaru in order to get his warrior bloodline under control when it started to go haywire in the past. However, due to Johnny's friendship with Kuai Liang and Kenshi, (not to mention mentoring Kenshi's son), Hotaru now sees Johnny as an enemy.
- It also extends to Johnny's ex-wife and their daughter, as well as the other ascended members of Team S-F. For Hotaru, it doesn't matter if Cassie and her team had saved the realms from Shinnok. It's the fact that they are united against Onaga. Of course, Hotaru was told that Onaga had revived the older Kombatants slain at the hands of the Deadly Alliance and enslaved them to his will, but that does not excuse them in his eyes. To Hotaru, those revived had squandered his master's gift of life.
- Hotaru was willing to forgive Johnny and the others for their violation of Onaga's will provided that they turn over the ascended members of Team S-F for training. After talking it over with her team, Cassie told Hotaru to "go fuck yourself," as her team refuses to train under a man whose master not only had enslaved Cassie's parents, Kung Jin's cousin and Jacqui's dad, but had made his intentions clear of doing the same to them.
- While Kim Kaphwan and his sons are obsessed with justice, they draw the line at killing, as they believe in reforming criminals, not killing them.
- Hotaru has also shown disdain towards Gill and Urien, as their goals, while the same, differ from Onaga's own. It's also probably the only time that the brothers are unified against the Dragon King. Gill believes that his Utopia can be forged through peace, while Onaga wants peace through conquest. Urien just despises Onaga right off the bat.
- Hotaru also has an intense hatred of ninjas, stemming from his past encounters with Sub-Zero (technically, Sub-Zero is Lin Kuei, not a ninja, although Hotaru could care about the difference). His solution in regards to ninjas is extermination. That doesn't sit very well with the Pantheon's ninja hierarchy, especially with the ascended members from the Gessen School. Hotaru's declaration of 'open-season-on-ninjas', along with his ties to Onaga did not sit well with them, given their own Knight Templar pasts. This also extends to Jago, despite being a monk and not a ninja.

- Lonnie Machin was originally a young boy in Gotham City with a strong and passionate interest in science as well as philosophy and politics, in addition to being academically gifted. However, in his pursuit of a career, he developed a disdain towards democracy and the modern world's government and politics, thinking that they oppressed free-thinkers and those who worked hard for their income and well-being and sought to confront this front himself. To that end, Lonnie devoted himself to fighting against democracy and took on vigilantism as Anarky, sincerely believing that Anarchism was the best way to freedom. Despite his well-meaning goals and intentions, his profession and actions led him to butt heads against other heroes, namely Batman. He would also don the mantle of Moneyspider, a computer hacker that stole money from banks and donated them to developing countries in the hopes that it can be used for their development and benefit. Despite not being a notable member of Batman's rogues gallery, Lonnie would go on his own odyssey, encountering the Justice League, Darkseid, the Titans, and the Young Justice whilst trying to find different ways to promote anarchy and help others in his own unscrupulous ways.
- The Pantheon was unsure of whether the philosophy and belief of Anarchism could be well-represented, given its controversial nature. For a long time, there didn't seem to be any viable candidate due to most well-known examples exemplifying negative stereotypes... until Lonnie became a topic of discussion. This led to Anarky finding his way into these new realms, though he had been following clues and evidence of the Pantheon's existence, namely the Batfamily and many of their allies, and their foes being ascended members. When he was recognized and appointed to represent the philosophy that he preached, Lonnie had a moment of amusement, namely that he was given official recognition from what he saw as a governmental body, namely the Court of the Gods, and the fact that his alias is literally his belief and his representing title in the Pantheon. Regardless, Lonnie managed to find a new outlet to spread his philosophy and is eager to further his pursuits, starting with new allies and a new base of operations.
- Usually, Anarchy is a political belief that is depicted as heavy violence, loud declaration of going against right-leaning beliefs, and generally being as antagonistic to government and politics as he could. Generally, anarchy is associated with terrorists who want to dismantle and kill to promote their thoughts and mischief-makers who mess around political spaces for their amusement. Lonnie personally seeks to defy and avert as many of these stereotypes as he can and while he takes pride in Anarchy, he wants to use it as a tool for hope and aid towards others, though being a vigilante, he will fight if he must. Being in the Pantheon and having his ascension title be based on his core beliefs makes him more validated to commit to his goals. He's happy to learn that the House of Philosophy don't have a negative opinion on him for the most part, plus his helpful nature towards the poor and needy has netted him some appeal. He does try to be careful, knowing that the Pantheon is filled with immensely powerful beings and avoids unnecessary confrontations.
- Because of his political beliefs, Lonnie didn't find himself getting many allies or supporters, much to his dismay. That said, he was satisfied to see that he did gain one valuable alliance in a fellow anarchist known only as V. It turns out that outside of their universes, Anarky was inspired by V and they were able to identify their similarities, such as opposing a larger party that they felt was oppressing their populace and that they felt compelled to oppose them and fight for freedom and for they think was for the populace's best. There was a clear difference in that V was more unscrupulous than Lonnie was, even being willing to kill, something that Lonnie usually tries to avert unless he has no other choice. V sees Lonnie as talented and determined, if a little reckless, given that he's still a teenager, something which Lonnie took as a sign to be better than before.
- While both are willing to dismantle corruption, he cannot find himself getting along with Rorschach in any way. Both are dedicated and they do have a mutual enemy in Ozymandias, seeing as his approach to bringing peace was to destroy New York City with an engineered bomb, but aside from that, they can only team up for a brief amount of time and while Anarky was at least willing to try to socialize with Rorschach, the latter is too impulsive and aggressive to properly work with the former. Of course, the two dislikes each other, with Rorschach thinking that Anarky is annoying and his political beliefs are dangerous whereas Anarky thinks that even if both act unlawfully, Rorschach's deluded thoughts on morality and refusing any attempt to even properly communicate, let alone work together properly, makes him an incredibly loose partner. Their alliance tends to be very rare and specific, and they've made it clear that they don't like each other.
- When asked about corporatizing superheroes, Lonnie stated that it was an immature and morally exploitative way of making business. Then he found out about Vought International and he wasn't pleased to say the least, especially considering that said "superheroes" were genetically engineered by Vought via an injection with Compound V and were excessively commercialized from their public appearances all the way to their "heroic actions". He did find some kinship with The Boys, especially considering that they banded together to end Vought's tyranny and take down the company. That said, Lonnie generally gets along with most members, barring Billy Butcher, thinking that while what happened in Butcher's past is tragic, it doesn't excuse him having to hate all superhumans, though Butcher has remained largely silent on this matter. Lonnie does, however, intend on bringing down Vought a second time, even if it means having to butt heads against The Seven.
- He's expressed interest in Lelouch vi Britannia, even thinking that his desire to create a better world for his beloved sister, Nunnally was rather cutenote . When the two met, they both saw a lot of differences in one another, with Lelouch commanding a large, loyal band of rebels as opposed to Anarky's small, yet devoted group of followers, as well as Lelouch having far more resources than Anarky does. Even then, Lonnie still found his leadership skills and his intellect to be complimentary and thinks that he's a decent role model, even citing his Zero Requiem Plan as pretty impressive, if really risky, given that Lelouch had to die and be seen as a hated tyrant for the plan to work. Lelouch, on the other hand, thinks that Lonnie is rather rowdy and a bit preachy, but still a boy who's willing to fight for a good cause, even if his way is underhanded, and respects Lonnie's diligence for his cause. The two maintain their relationship on amicable terms for now.
- Anarky's exploits and personal odyssey caught the eyes and interest of Zaheer, a member of the Red Lotus Society who believed that in his world, The Five Nations and the Avatar were top authority figures who imposed control and unfair dominance over the poor and oppressed and seek to change that, becoming an anarchist and using violent means to dismantle the nations' governments, which he wants to culminate by killing Korra, the current Avatar. Lonnie can relate to having similar goals and ideals, but he cannot buy into the idea of working with Zaheer; for one, he's too destructive and Anarky mainly seeks to avoid as much collateral damage as possible in his lawless acts. The second is that he wants to bridge the physical and spirit world together so that everyone has a chance to access it, as opposed to only a select few people, and Lonnie, being an Atheist, didn't feel any interest in it. They can speak to each other just fine and Lonnie even pays condolences to Zaheer's lost loved ones, but beyond that, they have very different means of accomplishing things that Lonnie feels would just contradict how he wants to settle and solve things.
- While a member of Batman's rogues gallery, Lonnie isn't just one of the more sympathetic and well-meaning ones, he actually respects the Caped Crusader and cites him as an influence for his career as a vigilante. The two have fought against one another, but there isn't really any genuine enmity with one another; Batman himself thinks that Anarky wants to contribute to making Gotham better, but given he's a kid who believes in a rather destructive philosophy, he is impulsive and reckless to a fault. With both of them being in the Pantheon, their affably opposing relationship still persists, though both agree that they have mutual enemies that they'd have to fight together at some points. Speaking of Batman, Lonnie has encountered the Justice League, though prefers not to meddle with them, even if their mostly lawful stance on heroism clashes against what Anarky aims for.
- While he is proud to be an Anarchist, Lonnie would like to remind others that he does not represent the terroristic, chaos-spreading kind; he despises those stereotypes and makes as much effort as possible to not just distance himself, but to also actively oppose those who embrace them nor does he want to be compared to them either. Learning about fellow Anarchist, Bill Williamson, Lonnie condemned him for giving his political stance a bad name whilst also proclaiming that his attempt to stop overpopulation is a cover for him actually enjoying the bloodshed and mayhem Bill causes. While they agree on opposing governments, the same is also true for Nemesis, a rich Spree Killer who committed his massacres just for amusement, as Bill did. Even if Lonnie wasn't a fan of cops or presidents, he felt that Nemesis's attempts at tormenting a cop to the extent that he would attack his children and him playing a role in the United States's President's death were incredibly low and with Nemesis in the Pantheon, Anarky states that he'll not hesitate to off him if they ever meet. Bill and Nemesis, on the other hand, think Lonnie is too sentimental about his beliefs and would gladly want to shut him up with a bullet to his head.
- Shogo Makishima is another anarchist with an interest in wanting to create a social outcry, much like Lonnie does. However, while they have similar political beliefs and they can come up with valid rationales about the flaws of society, their means to an end is completely different and Shogo is not only willing to commit mass murders and riots, but also mess with others and take responsibility in property damage if it means furthering his own causes. Needless to say, Lonnie was disturbed by the depths that Shogo would go to and the fact that he reminds him of what Anarky could be without any moral restraints. Shogo, interested by Lonnie's commitment to his cause, offered the teenage vigilante the chance to work on spreading anarchy together, but Lonnie, upholding his better judgment, immediately opposed and declared Shogo an enemy, citing their different means and how unlike himself who wants to help the poor in standing up for themselves and give the lower-class a chance, Shogo wants to spread violent anarchy for what could be considered a sick social experiment. Shogo simply expressed disappointment in Anarky, calling him naive and foolish in his pursuit of Anarchism.
- Hates Darkseid with every fiber of his being; to Lonnie, the Dread Lord of Apokolips represents everything about why authoritarian control is a problem that needs to be dealt with. He also shares this sentiment towards YHVH, thinking that his attempt at wanting to strip away free will and impose absolute law in the universe basically amounts to robbing free will and enforcing slavery to everyone as a way to direct all worship to himself. YHVH finds Lonnie to be an annoying brat and feels that he, as a teenager who has little in support, is in no position to challenge his authority as The Great Will. Darkseid is, if anything else, just amused by Lonnie's opposition towards him; once Anarky tried to list out everything bad about him, only for the Lord of Tyranny to finish his statement regarding the "E word". It's since rubbed Lonnie the hard way.
Darkseid: Evil? Yes. I am.
- Regarding normal politics, he holds a large amount of disdain for Frank Underwood. While Lonnie admits that the other United States presidents don't really interest him, Frank's criminal actions are practically horrendous by the eyes of the law and he's baffled to know just how he was able to maintain his position despite the several red flags that he's left behind in his bloodied political career from a simple politician all the way to presidency. Lonnie sees Frank as the worst kind of president and the worst that democracy can offer, being someone that only cares about his own self-interests and who would sacrifice anyone if it suits his needs, they've become a liability and can give him an advantage. While Frank is unaware of Lonnie and Anarky being the same person, he's quite perceptive of the young vigilante, being able to annoy and scare him due to his position of authority and his heartless sociopathy...
Frank Underwood: So I've heard about a lad who goes by Anarky. He claims to be fighting for the poor and wants to fight against what he thinks is democracy. Well, I'm afraid to tell you that he doesn't know me, but I know him. He's just a delusional boy who will screw himself over for a cause that is nonsensical and will achieve nothing. He thinks that having a "K" over a "C" and "H" would make him distinctive, but it only shows how young and immature he is. And as America's political history shows, Anarchy never wins, but neither does democracy. After all, Democracy is so Overrated after all...- He has a similar sentiment towards a certain empire that was plagued with corruption, crime, and political indecency, all set up by its prime minister, Honest, whereas his top officials were more interested in satisfying their own debauchery than helping the nation out, especially General Esdeath. Lonnie was quick to accuse Honest as one of the worst prime ministers he's come across and is willing to kill him if he can. By extension, he developed a measure of appreciation for Night Raid, given that they did dismantle Honest's regime and exposed him for the repugnant influence to the Empire that he is. While their priorities are too different to consider an alliance, not helped by Anarky's own spotty reputation, he does pay condolences to the Night Raid members who lost their lives fighting against the Empire. Night Raid has accepted Lonnie's statement, provided that he doesn't try to antagonize them, something that he's not going to do of course.
- It's no surprise that he despises large authoritarian bodies, such as Big Brother and the Sibyl System and even many of the more lawful denizens of the Pantheon don't disagree with him on that matter. Having been a political enthusiast, Lonnie believes that while Big Brother's system will inevitably fail, he also feels as if it's done too much to torment others and seeks to fight against O'Brien and the other leading members of Big Brother in the hopes that he could begin an uprise. Learning of the tale and fate of Winston and Julia served as further motivation for Anarky to fight against Big Brother and he's willing to try helping the two of them out if an opportunity presents itself. As for the Sibyl System, Lonnie is bewildered at how it's not only really repressive but actually accepted by Japan's populace in the future and the fact that its leadership is based on the psychological profile of those that are considered "Criminally Asymptomatic", as in sociopaths, meaning that the entire system is controlled by a being that determines thing in an unfettered fashion, unwilling to be obscured by moral judgments. That, and Lonnie thinks the Dominators are too destructive and must be destroyed at all costs, and them considering having the aforementioned Makishima as a psychological template only further Anarky's disdain for the Sibyl System.
- While Lonnie hates Big Brother and the Sibyl System, this doesn't extend to those who are employed by the latter to be police officers and detectives, given that they either chose that profession out of a desire to help others or were drafted in for having "Criminally Asymptomatic" traits. If anything, Lonnie has a measure of respect for Akane Tsunemori and Shinya Kogami, given that while Akane remained in the system, even after learning of its true nature, she was still willing to do things her own way and find more non-lethal and empathetic ways to solve a problem and Kogami does act on his own sense of justice, even if it meant he was exiled from working in the Sibyl System. While Akane and Kogami oppose Anarky, it's only due to their professions as in a casual chat, Akane and Lonnie can have a civil chat and Kogami thinks that he does want to do good, though his means aren't exactly acceptable.
- Another large body that Lonnie opposes is the Dark Army, a collective of hackers from around the globe that secretly have their influence asserted towards most world governments, businesses, and home defense, practically giving them an iron grip on the world. He's also one of the few to learn of the Dark Army's existence, given their incredibly elusive and shadowy nature and he's appalled to learn of the amount of terrorism and fear they would spread to achieve the goals of their leader, Whiterose. On a more positive note, the Dark Army's presence did let Lonnie learn of Elliot Alderson, a hacker who grow out of his cynicism and eventually worked with his friends and sister to dismantle the Dark Army, something that earned Lonnie a lot of appreciation for Elliot. If possible, Lonnie might think of teaching Elliot on hacking banks in a more defensive fashion and donating them to developing countries, though Elliot has been silent about the matter.
- It's safe to say that he's not really on good terms with Judge Dredd, primarily because as Anarky, he's a vigilante who constantly breaks the law, even if he means well and Dredd not only takes to priding his lawful disposition but is quite harsh on dealing with lawbreakers. Lonnie personally doesn't want to fight Dredd, let alone be enemies, so he tries to find ways to avoid any conflict with Dredd, knowing that he wouldn't stand a chance in a fight. If anything Lonnie thinks that Dredd has a lot of other issues to attend to, given that his list of enemies are far worse than he himself can ever hope to be. Dredd acknowledges this, but it doesn't change his stance on Anarky anyway. After all, he is "THE LAW!" and he has to uphold it.
- He's very popular for the lower-class sector of the House of Commerce, provided that he's made several efforts in rallying up the poor and motivating them into joining his cause and to fight for themselves. He's even managed to make a friend in Chester A. Bum, who thinks Anarky is "the greatest Anarchist he has ever seen", given his whole costume setup and his aim to help and liberate the poor. Then again, weird things do happen to him, and Lonnie's presence helps Chester become pretty excited. Lonnie himself has noted to have some strange experiences with Chester anytime they meet and he wants to make sure that Chester doesn't get into his schemes. It's partly because while enthusiastic, Chester is pretty dim-witted and partly because Lonnie genuinely doesn't want to see him get hurt.
- In line with preventing a corrupt official from gaining complete control and domination over the populace, Anarky professes that he likes the Phantom Thieves of Hearts and would entertain the idea of meeting them. He was intrigued to learn that the group was mostly a band of teenagers themselves and while they all came from different, sometimes tragic, backgrounds and were skilled thieves, they've also had a hand in saving their world and fighting an insidious politician from taking over Japan. In regards to specific members, Lonnie respects Ren Amamiya's leadership and could learn and refine his hacking skills from Futaba Sakura, who would rather just try to get along with Lonnie. He is somewhat perplexed by Makoto Nijima due to her desire to become a policewoman in the future, though Makoto is self-aware about the irony of her current occupation and her future endeavor, something that humoured Lonnie. Again, they have differing priorities, though Lonnie would entertain the idea of working with the Phantom Thieves if there ever came an occasion.
- His pursuit of Anarchism caught the eyes of a certain Lucifer, who expressed interest in the teenage vigilante as Lonnie's aim was to provide the poor with enough confidence and assurance so that they could stand up for themselves and fight against oppression, something that aligned with Lucifer's personal belief of freedom being a championing virtue and a desire to create a world where anybody is free to partake in whatever they wished to pursue. The Lightbringer thought that Anarky was a standout individual, despite the odds having stacked against him, and felt that he could use some form of support and encouragement. Lonnie initially expressed some skepticism on the matter, but eventually came to an agreement, so long as Lucifer didn't interfere with his matters too much, mainly as a way to make the Lightbringer appease his request through some irony. Lucifer accepted the deal and has since been Anarky's hidden backer for quite some time. That said, he's kept to his word that while he and Lucifer's goals are similar, Lonnie seeks to find his own way to promote his brand of freedom.
- No, he's not a Complete Monster. And he's certainly not a Bomb Throwing Anarchist who believes that Anarchy Is Chaos. Lonnie is told these by anonymous sources, which annoy him to no end. It didn't take long before he realized that there are other versions of him... who are far more villainous and/or stereotypically more anarchistic than he is. There are two big offenders in this case, and he's not happy to learn that they just want to cause Anarchy for the hell of it. While it's pissed him off, it's also made him more determined to prove to himself that he's seeking a good cause and sincerely wants to help the oppressed. Though it doesn't stop The Joker from making jokes about the matter. That, and teasing the idea that he might be Lonnie's father, as unlikely as that is.
- Lonnie is glad that the Pantheon does not have a democratic process that grants the leadership role to a group. He cites that doing so will bring tyranny to a place. Those in power will ostracize those who do not align with the thoughts of their rules and will snuff out all other beliefs like the despots they are. Being an American, Lonnie has seen the constant power struggle that the democratic system brings and sees it always tetter to Civil War nearly being an outcome. He only hopes that the Pantheon does not have an absolute power besides the Court of the Gods for the sake of all Pantheon residence.

- Born in Brazil, Rio de Janeiro, Lúcio Correia dos Santos grew up in a Favela that was hit hard financially after the Omnic Crisis happened. But Lúcio found his call in music, often preferring to lift the spirits of his friends, make them forget about the troubles they were facing and just overall have fun. Until a fateful day when the multinational Vishkar corporation got ahold of his city, who then decided to apply their rules to the "Lawless" community and even use them as labor force. Lúcio, outraged by such behaviour, stole one of the Sonic weapons that Vishkar developed and modified it into a tool that eventually drove the corporation out of his town. This event would mark an important point in Lúcio's life, as he became a worldwide celebrity when his music skyrocketed to popularity. But he won't waste his fame for nothing, he will use it to change the world in a better way.
- He used to reign over dreadlocks, but eventually realized that this new house is his true calling. People's freedom is a sacred treasure that cannot be substituted by any form of prosperity, no amount of prosperity is worth suffering and having freedom snuffed, and he'll fight with every last bits of his strength to preserve it.
- Lúcio is incredibly cheerful and energetic and for a time was considered to be the perfect member that the House of Happiness has been clamoring for a while. While he was assigned to another house, he does keep a good relation with the deities from said house and he even praises them whenever he visits them.
Lúcio: Look at these people! We're going to do great!
- Whenever Lúcio involves himself into a team effort, he made it a habit to say this phrase, no matter how not-getting-along his team goes. Usually, at his word (or maybe looking at how his dreadlocks have some... effects by just looking at it), they usually stop bickering and instead perform better.
- Or sometimes, people thinks Lúcio is being utterly sarcastic. Seriously, can you imagine a horribly messed up team with horrible compositions to win against a coordinated team (like two snipers, all Offense and no Tanks, or in a MOBA arena, all squishy ADC's)? Even people know that sometimes, even Lúcio has his limits...
- Being a DJ, Lúcio quickly became acquaintanced with various deities related to music, especially other DJs. He already plans to make collaborations with Vinyl Scratch, Napstablook and Daft Punk.
- While the two are definitely on the same side, Lúcio often butt heads with Reinhardt over their musical tastes. There is a clear age gap between the two and Lúcio often doesn't take the Crusader seriously.
Lúcio: Reinhardt, we need to find you some new tunes.Reinhardt: What's wrong with the classics? I love Hasselhoff! Have you heard "Night Rocker"?Lúcio: ... I can't even take you seriously right now.
- Lúcio believes that freedom should be something that everyone deserves and ever since he became famous, he has made it his mission to take down any evil corporation or government, primarily with his music. He has received support from a lot of deities such as Sonic, Tails or even Kallen Kozuki.
- Corrupt Corporate Executives are the kinds of people that Lúcio despises, given his previous experience with the Vishkar corporation. One of the many activities he involves himself with is tampering with their incomes, with one his biggest targets being Mr. Burns.
- Until of course, the rise of his rival, Symmetra, a representative of Vishkar itself. It doesn't quite matter for Lúcio, though, his mind is still set: Vishkar started the fire first, so stealing from them is fine, he's doing the poor a favor! As far as he's concerned, she's no different than those Vishkar employees that terrorized his home, so Lúcio resumes his tampering. Oh and for the record, he never fell for that "misplaced" Teleporter plot she had. What do you think his rollerblades are for?
- Seems to be into playing videogames and he is actually a big fan of D.Va. She also happens to be a big fan of his music and when they finally got to meet each other, they got incredibly excited.
Lúcio: D.Va in the flesh! Wooh, can I get your autograph?D.Va: Only if I can get yours, too. I love your new album!
- When Lúcio and D.Va met once again in the battlefield of the Nexus, it's through their interactions that everyone saw that they became close friends.
D.Va: Lúcio! How's my favorite international DJ?Lúcio: I play a lotta music, but you're still my favourite Song. - Lúcio originally auditioned to become the God of Sonic Weaponry, but he was told that the place was already held by the Symphogears. After finding an alternative place for ascension, he went to the House of Music to meet them personally and he was amazed at how their tech allowed them to transform into Magical Girl Warriors. They also all share the same philosophy of being close together and he even considered collaborating with them to make a new album.
- He also got to meet the F.I.S. children and after hearing their story, he is really glad that they decided to fight for good. Lúcio is especially fond of Shirabe given that she sings for electronic tunes, which happen to be Lúcio's jam and he is considered to use her for some of his tunes.
- Lúcio is known to always use rollerblades in the battlefield, and he is pretty good at them to boot. This caught the attention of Beat, another Freedom Fighter who is a fan of techno. Beat was quick to offer him a place as a GG, but Lúcio stepped up the offer by saying that he would promote them through his music. Since then they have been the best of friends.
- Given his ability with the rollerblades, Lúcio ended up befriending Subaru Nakajima and Lan Hikari given how they also use them. It's not uncommon to see the three of them competing to see who is the fastest, often joined by Beat from time to time.
- Has actually raced against the Scout after his race against Tracer. Due to being at his fastest capacity with a fully boosted Baby-Face blaster, Scout managed to best him. Lucio was impressed he managed to run at such speeds even without rollerblades and has since been inviting Scout out to race against other rollerblade users, which he happily accepted.
- Surprisingly fond of frogs, to the point that he made one to be his logo. He also made a special costume just to look like the one from it◊.
- Being from Brazil, Lúcio was eager to know if there were more Brazilian deities around. Eventually, he met Laura Matsuda and Raymundo Pedrosa, who quickly became fans of his tunes. They all also happen to be from Rio, so it was a given that they would end up being really good friends.
- He did not, however, expect to meet another Brazilian in the form of Jetstream Sam. However, Lúcio and Sam happen to share a lot of opinions and ideas, so they ended up on good terms. Although Lúcio hopes that Sam abandons the life of a mercenary for good.
- Lúcio is a really big fan of ice hockey, often going to the House of Sports in order to see some matches. He also likes to play it from time to time◊.
- He also invented a sport he calls "Lúcioball", which basically is him playing football with his sonic equipment. Some people who got around to play with him say it's actually a really fun experience.
- He's not a Hamon user, but when he slams his fist into the ground, Jonathan Joestar can't help but smile.
- Lúcio is so good at skating in the wall that people has asked him how to do it while shooting down enemies. Lúcio admitted of having doing that only once in his whole lifetime, so that's not something he thinks he can teach to others.
- As he takes really good care of his locks, he has always made it clear that never once in his lifetime he has cheered people up by putting grapes on his nose and constantly shout "Bloopity bloopity bloopity bloopity". That's just stupid and might traumatize others instead of cheering them up.
- Don't ask him to say "Huehuehuehue" or "GIBE MONI PLEASE" or "Es numero uno". It's not just because Lúcio thinks that it's not a good stereotype for Brazilians, it's also because he had a run-in with Mordekaiser and when he told him that his tendencies to spew that gives bad names to Brazilian, Mordekaiser replied that he does want Lúcio to give him something, practically, his soul to be toyed around by him. He's kind of traumatized afterwards. "And I thought that Reaper dude was creepy about souls!"
- One fateful day, Lúcio has received the invitation to enter the battlefield of the Nexus. In preparation and on the recommendation of D.Va, he paid a visit to Jim Raynor and the two became fast friends with Raynor being impressed with his rebellion against Vishkar. However, Raynor gave him friendly advice that he might want to re-evaluate his further crusade against Vishkar, as Lúcio listened Raynor's tale on how the Terran Dominion was reformed by eliminating its source of evil, the leader Arcturus Mengsk, that perhaps having Vishkar reform is a possibility and a non-violent solution that will win him more fans. While Lúcio still kept up his antagonism against Vishkar and especially Symmetra like nothing happened, he actually kept Raynor's advice at heart: He should try to find out who's the CEO of Vishkar and hopefully render them powerless. At the same time,Lúcio sympathizes with Raynor during the time his jukebox was broken, which Raynor appreciated.
- Upon his arrival in the Nexus, Lúcio has also befriended a lot of deities that can be found there. One of them was E.T.C., which Lúcio expresses his desire to remix some of E.T.C.'s albums. Lúcio also befriended Chromie, as he respect her time manipulation powers.
- During his battles in the Nexus, Lúcio managed to induce Reverse Polarity on his tracks, which he dubbed Reverse Amp. Opponents under the effect of Reverse Amp suffer either continuous damage or have their movement massively slowed. And before you ask, no, the aforementioned "Bloopity bloopity bloopity bloopity" is not involved.
- He's currently having an eye to the Phantom Thieves led by Ren Amamiya in order to expose to the world the corruption within Vishkar, but then got hit with several obstacles: First, the Phantom Thieves have yet to find anything about the Vishkar Corporate even amongst the Metaverse, nor a Palace towards the only representative he knew (Symmetra). Second, he butted head with Yusuke Kitagawa, who admonishes his condemnation towards Vishkar and Symmetra. While Lúcio insisted that Vishkar's actions towards his home are despicable and almost like Masayoshi Shido's in a smaller case, Yusuke countered with how he's not seeing the big picture and sounding like driven with a biased hate that Vishkar ruined his home, especially with how he treated Symmetra to be no different than other Vishkar employees, nothing but evil soulless monsters, before even seeing her side of story. Even Lúcio is at loss of words, but Yusuke still assures him that when the CEO of Vishkar reveal themselves, they will still try to steal that CEO's heart, and Lúcio gets the privilege to suggest how their calling card works.
- Also you can bet that he does not trust the resident MegaCorp of the Pantheon, BnL. But he always had a soft spot on WALL•E and EVE, they have proven to him good qualities to be trusted despite being from a corporate. And hey, that robo-speak thing he used on Bastion could be pretty good on them if all three are in the mood.
- P.S: He actually likes Hasselhoff music. But he prefers that no one tells Reinhardt about this.
- "Ooh, this is my jam! Come on, let's bring it together!"
Marzipan
Marzipan, Self-Proclaimed Official Goddess of Political Correctness (Marzy, Fox's mother)
- Lesser Goddess (although she's protesting that it should be higher)
- Symbol: The East Marzistar Flag. Alternatively her guitar, Carol.
- Alignment: Lawful Good according to her, but opinion varies
- Portfolio: Parodies of Extreme Leftism, Dirty Hippies Without The Dirt, Being The Only Girl of the Cast, Tsunderes, Beware the Nice Ones.
- Domains: Earth, Growth, Healing, Politics.
- Followers: None. Marzipan feels that having followers would reinforce the hierarchical, patriarchal, tacky system she fights against.
- Allies: Homestar Runner (sometimes), Bubs, Lisa Simpson, Sam Manson, Steve Small, The Lorax, Mafalda
- Enemies: Though she doesn't believe in using the word "hate", Marzipan chonks Strong Bad with the passion of a thousand exploding whales, Cruella De Vil
- Opposes: Eric Cartman, Ghetsis Harmonia, Amon, Archie Bunker, Hexxus
- Has not invited Strong Bad to her parties after a disaster involving him jumping off of her roof and into a cake.
- She's managed to become good friends with other politically correct deities such as Sam Manson, Lisa Simpson, and Steve Small. The four often get together at her temple to discuss issues such as politics and the environment (much to the annoyance of her neighboring deities).
- While the Lorax does appreciate Marzipan's efforts to protect the environment, even he thinks she can be too preachy about the dangers of pollution.
- She has a very dysfunctional, on-again, off-again relationship with Homestar, to the point where the House of Love can't understand how or why they ever got together to begin with.
- Considers the likes of Ghetsis and Amon to be "really not very nice"; Ghetsis for lying to and manipulating his followers into believing they were fighting for a good cause, and Amon for presenting his warped ideals as politically correct and for his utter hypocrisy.
- She absolutely cannot stand Hexxus, not just because his entire MO is to destroy the environment, but because of how much pleasure he seems to get from it. When confronting Hexxus on the matter and asked him to stop his polluting, he simply laughed at her and went about his business, finding her efforts to save the environment to be utterly hilarious.
- One deity that has earned her contempt for his foul mouth and crude sense of humor is Eric Cartman. His brand of sexist, racist, bigoted jokes towards anyone different from him has driven Marzipan up the wall. She naively thought that she could reach the boy by lecturing to Eric that his comments are a form of bullying and are seen as hurtful to people's feelings. But much to her frustration (and anger), Cartman replies:
Cartman: AHAHAHA! Look at this! A talking toilet plunger with a dildo for a handle! Are you going to unclog my toilet later after I take a huge shit from eating KFC? You better not miss the chunks of Cheesy Poofs that gets stuck to the bowl! (As he walks away) A talking dick plunger! This place has everything! HAHAHA!
Quasideities
Leeroy Jenkins
Leeroy Jenkins, The Destroyer of Philosophies and Official God of Chaotic Stupidity
- Quasideity
- Symbol: A Mountain of Fried Chickens
- Theme Song: Bad, Bad, Leeroy Jenkins (Fanmade)
- Alignment: Chaotic Stupid
- Portfolio: Plan-Ruining Charges, Berserkers, Proclaiming One's Name Before Battle, Battle Cry With Emphasis, Plan Derailers, Millstones Played for Laughs, Internet Memes, Fried Chickens
- Domain: War, Battle, Destruction, Madness
- Allies: Kamina, Gilligan, Excel, Jar Jar Binks, Grom Hellscream, Valeera Sanguinar, Minsc & Boo
- Friendly Rivals With: Miko Miyazaki
- Opposed by: Everyone who's not on his 'Allies' list (Goddammit, Leeroy, you're just stupid as hell)
- In times of war, Leeroy has many times screwed up battle plans by charging headfirst into battle. Lots of deities, especially those of Knowledge, despise him for being so goddamn stupid. But at least he's got chicken.
- That said, the first plan he screwed over (that of his raid group "PALS FOR LIFE" to clear out the Rookery area of the Upper Blackrock Spire to acquire a Devout Mantle for him) would've failed anyway (and some deem him an unsung hero for it, and he even sacrificed himself with Divine Intervention to save at least one of his guild members). Still doesn't explain his ruining of others' plans since then in the Pantheon.
- Considers Kamina to be his soul brother, since they share a disdain for reasoning and "logic".
- Hates Richard Rahl with a passion due to the fact that Rahl can't stand chickens or "evil manifest".
- Is happy to see Gilligan return to the Panthe— All right, time's up, let's do this! LEEEROOOOOOOOOOY! JEEEEEEEENKIIIIIIIIIIIIINS!
- ...Goddammit, Leeroy!
- Often clashes with Miko Miyazaki because she represents the Lawful side of stupidity, while he represents the Chaotic side. Sometimes they are friendly.
- Believe it or not, the man is actually a paladin. It's just that he rarely uses his powers in favor of running into the fray blindly.
- Many has been making a guess that this man would charge right into the Battlefield between Blizzard entities. Everyone in that field, even Diablo and Arthas, has expressed fear on how this guy would ruin every of their plans.
- His action was actually 'made' by Grom Hellscream. On learning this, Leeroy paid him a visit and it's later decided that not only that they're gonna be friends, Leeroy is still considered worthy of his throne, for he named it.
- There are a few times where Leeroy actually becomes a legitimate threat, usually when paired with Valeera Sanguinar, since the rogue often weaponized Leeroy's reckless nature to great effect. In a period of time, this was so dangerous it could take out a seasoned God in one series of strike. It wasn't as highly damaging now, but still a legit threat.
- "At least I have chicken!"
