Trope Pantheons/Commerce

Out of all the Houses in the Pantheon, the House of Commerce is the one that would fit best in a modern Earth city. It would still get a few odd looks, though. From the outside, it looks something like a boxy castle with several towers, all metal with glass windows that reflect the light. Each tower houses its own CEO and their staff. The lowest floor of the main building is permanently flooded with four feet of water, the better for a tiny pirate ship to navigate. Other floors have their walls splashed with brightly-colored advertisements for pretty much everything - the only square inches not given over to an ad are in the CEO towers.

The place is infested with weird little robots that can be destroyed for cash. Primus is not amused, and his children have not-so-secretly infiltrated the pantheon to make sure it doesn't get out of hand.

There's been a mini contest to get Commander Shepard to say "I'm Commander Shepard, and this is my favorite House in the Pantheon." in each Houses. So far, there hasn't been any successes.

 * Noa Kaiba of the House of Technology often uploads himself into Seto Kaiba's mainframe, being jealous of his position. For his part, Seto constantly designs and redesigns firewalls and other security systems to keep the brat out. His tower is adorned with variations on the Blue-Eyes White Dragon, and there are hologram stations in every cubicle.
 * He reacted to the news of his ascension with an angry "That's ridiculous! People don't become gods!" He changed his mind in a hurry when Karin Kanzuki bought a mansion next door to his palace that was almost twice as big as his own. They both have connections.

 * Allies: Carmen Sandiego, Lupin The 3rd

Unfortunately, His support of internet piracy threatens to add Looten Plunder to his loooooong list of enemies. Keeps telling His drinking buddy Jiraiya to switch over to his side, but is always told that wenches never have clean teeth.
 * Enjoys boating through the lowest level of the House, swiping waterproof merchandise and complaining that if he is a god, why isn't he floating on rum?
 * Has Lupin The 3rd as a drinking buddy.
 * The story of his ascension began with yet another attempt to gain Immortality. He had taken over Will's position as captain of the Flying Dutchman enjoying the company of lovely squid humanoids when the ship was attacked by a mythical sea turtle that was three times as big as the ship. He wrestled the creature to the depths of the ocean and ripped its shell off. The explosion of magical energy energized him above the level of Calypso. Whether or not this story is true no one knows, but there was a sea turtle involved, somehow.
 * Michael Bolton has recently become his prophet, telling tales of his adventures (with the unwitting help of The Lonely Island). Whether he approves is yet to be known.

Ric Flair, God of Limousine-riding, Jet-flying, Kiss-stealing, Wheeling, and Dealing (The Nature Boy, The Man, The Dirtiest Player in the Game)

 * Theme Song: Also Sprach Zarathustra, but with a WOOOOOO in the beginning.
 * Lesser God
 * Symbol: A big gold belt

 * Opposed by: JBL, Bears (Flair vs Bear)
 * Those in the pantheon who have found favor with Flair have disappeared for days when invited along to party with the Nature Boy. Those who have incited his wrath suffer unthinkable agony, which is predated by Flair's thunderous roars, his face turning scarlet and Flair ripping off--and physically assaulting--his own vestments.
 * Despite ascending to godhood, parts of his body (such as his forehead and scalp) are still very susceptible to bleeding at even the slightest physical trauma. Until the wound is healed, blood pours out from Flair's body without stopping.
 * Should anybody in the Pantheon say "WOOO" within Flair's hearing range, then expect him to challange that person to a "WOOO-off". It is ill-advised to put your money on his opponent, since Ric Flair Is called "The Dirtiest Player in the Game" for a reason. Liu Kang learned it the hard way.
 * He was sadly unable to win the elimination match that decided the God of Wrestling. But on the plus side, he did score with some nurses in the hospital.

Yuko Ichihara, Goddess of The Multiverse and Equivalent Exchange (The Dimensional Witch)

 * Lesser Goddess

 * Managed to get both positions and pantheons by cheating them off of their former Gods, Sora (now God of Light) and the Robot Devil. Neither are brave enough to try and take them back.
 * Has a CEO tower gained through questionable means. But don't they all?
 * When exactly she ascended is a matter of much debate. Everyone who was out-of-dimension (or immune to changes in the timeline) at the time claims she ascended some time in the late 2000's, whereas everyone else remembers her as having been here for centuries. She, of course, merely smirks and takes a puff off her pipe when asked.
 * Truth would like to know how some other being has managed to become god of Equivalent Exchange. But then again, he is all, one, and YOU.

 * So far there are two known Incubators, the one known as Kyubey (whom goes by a lot of names) and the one known as Jubey... It's unknown if there is more of them, however it's likely that they are not the only ones.
 * Incubators lack an understanding of Emotion, as such they has made an enemy of the entire House of Emotion. Kyubey doesn't really care for the rivalry with it's house, but they keep punching it in the face.
 * Residents of Gensoukyou happen to bring a chill to Kyubey, not that it shows any kind of fear. Especially Flandre Scarlet, whom seems to think of Kyubey as a doll to play with. Jubey doesn't understand this fear of Kyubey's.
 * Can't be in the same room as Sayaka Miki/Oktavia von Seckendorff because of their habit of impaling them with her swords. Same with Homura Akemi, who is known to shoot them on sight.
 * Can't be classified as Gods/Goddesses due to the fact that they are not of residences of earth.
 * Kyubey is an employee of GEICO, enjoys days of selling life insurance. It's unknown what Jubey does with it's spare time, has been seen at a Call Centre.

Looten Plunder, God of Corporate Corruption

 * Lesser God
 * Symbol: A fake $1,000,000 bill with his face on it
 * Alignment: Lawful Evil
 * Portfolio: Corrupt Corporate Executives, Pollution For Fun And Profit, Clothing With Only The Finest Of Animal Furs
 * Domains: Avarice, Greed (yeah, he gets both, too), Blackwater, Blightbringer, Pestilence
 * Allies: Eric Raymond
 * Opposed By: Captain Planet, Scrooge McDuck
 * Followers: Gordon Gekko (Wall Street)
 * Of the Captain Planet villains, Plunder was the only one worthy of godhood, as He was the only one with a motive for his crimes (money), rather than just pollution for the hell of it.
 * This spot was previously owned by Lex Luthor, but was moved to the House of Love after the other gods learned of his weird relationship with Clark Kent.
 * His CEO tower is impossibly opulent, with just about every piece of wood carved from something incredibly endangered. There are seven colors of velvet pile, tacky gold chandeliers, and every expensive artwork available. Cigars are lit by hundred-dollar-bills.

Carmen Sandiego, Goddess of Impossible, Improbable, and Charming Thievery

 * Intermediate Goddess
 * Symbol: A red trench coat and fedora
 * Alignment: Chaotic Neutral
 * Portfolio: Classy Cat Burglars, Ever-Elusive Villains, Punny Named Mooks, Easily Escaping From Jail, Friendly Rivalry, Puzzles, The Color Red
 * Domains: City, Craft, Knowledge, Liberation, Trickery
 * Followers: Arsène Lupin, Haley Starshine, Mouse, Garrett, Sly Cooper
 * Allies: Catwoman and the Black Cat, Jack Sparrow, Waldo, Daiki Kaitou, Lupin The 3rd
 * Was originally a Lesser Goddess, but managed to steal the "Intermediate Goddess" title from Robin Hood when he was away from Sherwood Forest (and She stole that, too...She's just that good). She occasionally teams up with him on the more intriguing heists. Rumor has it that when he found out the forest was gone she let him figure out how to get it back, and then stole his grudge. He still remembers what she did, and thinks he should be angry about it. But he can't.
 * On her off days, she will sail the lowest floor with Captain Jack and steal the appeal of pieces of merchandise while talking about the time she stole the smile from the Smiling Enlightened, leaving the face of the goddess perfectly mobile but without the ability to smile.
 * One night she broke into Looten Plunder's tower, stealing the abilities to keep her out and alert security of his locks and electronics systems, stealing the sound of her footsteps, stealing Plunder's ability to be awakened by soft noise. She did not then take everything that wasn't nailed down and then swipe Gordon Freeman's crowbar to pry up more, she did not take the floorboards and windows and doors and wallpaper, she did not take his stocks and his bed and his clothing. No. She stole the value of all these things; they looked and worked the same and yet their value was entirely gone. Plunder replaced it all in under three days, but he has not forgotten, and she has not stolen the sting of this insult.
 * The only thief to successfully steal the Treasures of the Gods. She didn't just take the treasures, no. She didn't even take the entire complex; it was still there, doors and items and all. No, she took the powers of the items themselves, leaving them looking the same but utterly inert. She put it back after Insert Name Here tracked her down by the clues she left, but only a handful of gods know why or how she did it.
 * Has a soft spot for people less competent than herself. Since she's Carmen Sandiego, this is a long list. The only forbidden place she cannot reach is the Main House, although she can and has stolen the entrance.
 * Her power is alarming in its scope. Considering that she can not only steal languages and landmarks and stars, but also gods, time periods, and abstract concepts, many have wondered why she is not an Overdeity. She claims that she steals and leaves clues just to prove that she can. While she is friendly with gods of Good and Evil alignments, she truly owes allegiance only to herself.
 * Has a friendly rivalry going with Lupin The 3rd, who thinks she's hot as hell and a great thief to boot. Sandiego thinks Lupin's a fun companion, and a great ally in bigger heists that could theoretically be too much for her.

Wario, God of Greed

 * Follower: Don Draper, Pepsiman
 * Opposed by: Chuck Norris, Zombies, Johnny Turbo
 * Sanshiro heroically gave his life in defense of his beloved Sega, but lives on in Garhalla - and our hearts.
 * If they take Sega Saturn lightly, he will descend from the Garhalla and kick their ass.
 * Perhaps Dreamcast would've fared better had they received the guidance of Segata Sanshiro. So let's put "Not having Segata Sanshiro" as one of the reasons why Sega quit making hardware.
 * Does not like zombies. For this reason, he's discouraged from lingering in the House of Life and Death.
 * Sega Saturn... shiro!
 * The entire pantheon is waiting for him to challenge Chuck Norris to play Sega Saturn
 * His avatar is Hiroshi Fujioka, currently under the guise of Kamen Rider in the House of Travel.
 * Was responsible for Johnny Turbo being banished to the Disgraces, leaving a large crater that remains to this day. (and is recently being turned into a swimming pool)
 * Is currently training Bang Shishigami in the arts of Sega Saturn, after an unfortunate incident that he mistook him as Takeshi Hongo of the Toku Base. Segata believes that the secret of awakening Houyoku Rettenjou lies in playing Sega Saturn until the fingers break.

BnL, Celestial Mega Corporation (Buy n Large)

 * Alignment: Individual members range from Chaotic Good (WALL-E and EVE) to Lawful Evil
 * Portfolio: Mega Corps, Acme Products, Corrupt Corporate Executives
 * Domains: Greed, Evil, Robotics, Dystopias, Catchy Jingles (sing it with me: "Buy 'n' Large, we're your super-store...")
 * This position was formerly held by Acme, but BnL bought Acme in 2002, closed Acme's legendary anvil forge in Sandusky, Ohio, and puts the name on cheap, Bangladeshi-made plastic anvils. Someday they'll run out of ultra-low-wage countries...

Tsunade (Fifth Hokage, The Legendary Sucker, Granny Tsunade) and Marge Simpson, Co-Goddesses of Compulsive Gamblers

 * Demigoddesses
 * Symbols: A purple diamond and a 4-foot blue beehive, respectively. Alternately, a red 1974 Chevrolet Chevelle wagon filled with massive piles of overdue ninja paperwork.

 * Tsunade: Ninja, Fan Service
 * Marge: Beehive Hairdos, Mother Figures
 * Domains: Greed, Pride, Trickery
 * Followers: Luxord, Setzer Gabbiani, Gambit
 * Originally, the goddesshood was to be decided between them by a high-stakes game of Texas Hold'Em. However, since Lisa pointed out that neither of them could ever actually WIN at gambling, they decided to share the task. Marge would still like to visit Konoha someday...Homer says he's never been, either, but Marge has her suspicions about the true paternity of that loudmouthed spiky-blond-haired kid on Tsunade's team...

Jerrica Benton, Goddess of Generosity (Jem)

 * Intermediate Goddess
 * Symbol: The Jem logo
 * Alignment: Neutral Good
 * Portfolio: Hiding Secret Identities, The Power of Rock, Outrageous Manes, Clingy Jealous Girls, Amazing Surrogate Sisters
 * Domains: Music, Protection, Wealth
 * Allies: Amano Kazumi, Katara, Paul McCartney, Nanami Lucia, Momomiya Ichigo, Robin Hood
 * Enemies: Eric Raymond, Azula, Wario, Looten Plunder, Shirayuki Berii
 * Managed to get Lucia's idea for "the godliest girl band ever" off the ground and releasing new material at the astounding rate of three short songs a day. Uses the funds from her music career to operate a halfway house for Mary Sues that are trying to reform.
 * Unlike Sol Badguy's operation, Jerrica will forgive almost anything short of forthrightly and unrepentantly supporting Shirayuki Berii's efforts to regain her power over the Pantheon. However, she does not know that  is actually the one who arranged for her success and manipulated her into having the idea to open the halfway house as part of a grand scheme to
 * Has forged most of her alliances for the purpose of keeping Eric Raymond in check.
 * Later mythology (read: fuzzy nostalgia and genre savviness re: Clarke's Law for Girls Toys) has suggested that she is a follower of Kinomoto Sakura. Though Jerrica in fact stands firmly with technology rather than magic, she is allied with those who are not - Lucia for her music and Ichigo for her grudge against Berii.

Robin Hood, God of Loveable Rogues (Robin of Locksley, Robert of Huntingdon)

 * Intermediate God
 * Symbol: A green feathered cap
 * Alignment: Chaotic Good
 * Portfolio: Folk Heroes, Loveable Rogues, Archery
 * Domains: Arborea, Hunt, Protection, Trickery
 * Followers: Many, including His Merry Men, Locke Cole (Final Fantasy VI), Balthier (Final Fantasy XII), Han Solo (Star Wars), Remy Le Beau (X-Men)
 * Allies: Jem
 * Opposed by: Seto Kaiba, Looten Plunder Sherriff of Nottingham
 * He robs from the richest of the rich, and gives to the poor, thus making Seto Kaiba his natural enemy.
 * Is a bit miffed at Carmen Sandiego for stealing his previous title as well as Sherwood Forest. Fortunately, he at least managed to steal the forest back, and although intellectually he knows that he should be angry, he doesn't really hold it against her. He also teams up on her on rare occasions whenever he runs into a really tough job that interests her.
 * Sometimes, he is an anthropomorphic fox.

Bubs, God of Shady Salesmen

 * Lesser God
 * Symbol: A piece of paper with the letters "TH" written on it in red
 * Alignment: True Neutral
 * Portfolio: Former Possessors of Useless Superpowers, Shout Outs to Kaiju, Not Being Able To Unmask the Thnikkaman, Jive Turkeys

 * Allies: Wario, Konata Izumi, Carmen Sandiego
 * Enemies: Robin Hood, Jerrica Benton, C.C.
 * During his time in the Pantheon, Bubs has expanded his eponymous concession stand into a whole chain of Bubs' Concession Stands. In these fine outlets, he sells almost anything imaginable short of a Pantheon Treasure, including things like obviously broken computers, muscle-enhancement powders, wireless extension cords, and knockoff merchandise of the various deities. Though often overpriced, they always seem to have exactly what deities need at exactly the right time, so Bubs is one of the richest deities in the House.
 * CMOT Dibbler previously held the title, before discovering his occupancy in the House made it too easy for former customers to find him. He sold his godhood to Bubs for an undisclosed price, which he insists was cutting his own throat.
 * Since giving the various incarnations of Swindle more visible places in his establishments, Bubs seems to have overcome those problems.

Tom Nook, God of Outrageous Loans

 * Lesser God
 * Symbol: A bag of money
 * Alignment: Hard to say...call him Neutral Evil
 * Portfolio: Tanuki, Indentured Servitude, Offstage Villainy, Those Who Buy Anything and Sell Almost Everything, Speaking Simlish

 * Followers: Ocean Finance, the real All-Devouring Black Hole Loan Sharks
 * Soon after ascending, Nook offered to help expand the House of Family...at a price. Darth Vader of that house was last seen delivering a shirt with the Nook's Cranny logo on it to some kind of talking squirrel...

Selina Kyle and Felicia Hardy, Goddesses of Classy Cat Burglars (Catwoman and Black Cat)

 * Quasideities
 * Symbol: The paw print of a cat
 * Alignment: More or less Chaotic Neutral, often leaning towards Good
 * Portfolio: Attraction to Worthy Opponents, Feline Themes, Dangerous Fingernails, Catfights, Stealing Gems
 * Domains: Thievery, Lust, Stealth
 * They are allied with Carmen Sandiego. There is little conflict between them and the other gods of thievery; Selina and Felicia like going after gems and small idols in displays, rather than huge stashes of money or the entire contents of a CEO tower or hope.
 * Selina is mutually interested in Batman. Felicia was once an item with Spider-Man, and of late has been considering hooking up again, but half of the House of Defense feels bad enough for Mary Jane that they arrange things so that Felicia and Peter are never alone together for so much as five minutes. Felicia happens to be bisexual.

CEO Nwabudike Morgan, God of Economic Superpowers

 * Greater God
 * Symbol: The Morgan Enterprises Logo
 * Alignment: Money
 * Portfolio: Global Economies, Energy Credits, Economic Superpowers, Enforced Monopolies, Free Trade
 * Domains: Community
 * Followers: Colin and Sasha (Advance Wars), Robert House (Fallout: New Vegas)
 * Allies: Seto Kaiba, Mr. Burns
 * Achieved immortality by purchasing it. He was just hoping for a couple thousand years, even 500 would have been pretty nice, but actual immortality turned out to be quite a bargain -- for him, at least.
 * Is interested in buying the land deed for the land the Pantheon houses stand on, and has offered a small part of his fortune for it in the sum of a few trillion Energy Credits. Though he has yet to make contact with the current owner of the deed to make the offer in person, Morgan remains confident he will take it.
 * "Human behavior is economic behavior. The particulars may vary but competition for limited resources remains a constant. Need as well as greed has followed us to the stars and the rewards of wealth still await those wise enough to recognize this deep thrumming of our common pulse." - Book of Morgan, verse 2:53.

Mickey Stone, God of Confidence Tricks

 * Lesser God
 * Symbol: The word "HUSTLE" formed from piles of banknotes.

 * Followers: "The team" (Hustle), Moist von Lipwig (Discworld), Locke and Jean (Gentleman Bastard) Mr. Wednesday (American Gods)
 * Allies: Robin Hood, on occasion. The relationship is strained following Mickey's comment "Sure, we can give some of it to the poor."

Watts, God of Profiteering During Battle

 * Lesser God
 * Symbol: An axe with a hunk of silver ore behind it.
 * Alignment: Chaotic neutral with good tendencies
 * Portfolio: Capitalism in dangerous situations, Refusing to pay heroes more than half price for old items, Dwarves, Blacksmiths
 * Domains: Avarice, Wealth, Craft
 * Followers: Rin (Final Fantasy X), Neko (Secret of Mana), nearly every other shopkeeper in a role-playing game.
 * Allies: Bubs often collaborates to "improve" the doings of both parties. Tom Nook has expressed some curiosity in alliance as well, but as he expects Watts to borrow 10 million gil to build a suitable place to hold such negotiations, no progress has been made thus far.
 * Originally competed with Rin for this position, but won out due to being willing to fight while gouging the hero. The two have since made up, and are looking to increase their customer base. Should another clash between the Pantheons erupt, Watts looks to use the opportunity to increase his stature to at least Intermediate God.

Scrooge McDuck, God of Finance

 * Alignment: Lawful Neutral.
 * Portfolio:Wealth equals adventure, Smarter than the smarties, tougher than the toughies, AND He deserves every penny because he made it square.

 * Followers: His nephews, Huey, Dewey and Louie
 * Allies: All Inhabitants of Galt's Gulch and Honest Dealers in General
 * Enemies: Flintheart Glomgold, The Beagle Boys, Magica Despell, Catwoman, Montgomery Burns, Looten Plunder
 * Mr Burns at one time attempted to offer him a shady deal which magnificently backfired on Burns Face.
 * Used his reality warping wealth to purchase a ticket to the Pantheon. Once there, he spent years outfoxing the members of the House of Knowledge and standing up to the House of Combat. Ruthless and a stickler for the rules. And will NOT break them.
 * Freddy Krueger once tried to end his godhood by invading one of his dreams. Considering what happened to the last people who tried to do sneak into his mind, the results were preety obvious...

Recette Lemongrass, Goddess of Item Shops (The Moe Capitalist, Merchant of the Gods)

 * Lesser Goddess

 * Domains: Commerce, Adventure, Wealth, Charm, Friendship, Endurance
 * Followers: Tear, Nameless NPC Shopkeepers Everywhere
 * Allies: Konata Izumi, Nanoha Takamachi, Luna Lovegood, The Entire House of Weapons
 * Although Recette began with barely a penny to her name and a crippling debt hanging over her head, she turned her house into an item shop and not only paid the debt, but also hired her Fairy Companion and former loan shark Tear on as an accountant, amassed a small army of loyal friends who also double as her dungeon-delving muscle, and built up a wealth that earned her the ownership of an item shop on prime real estate in the Trope Pantheon. She now spends her days selling artifacts of great power to deities and adventurous mortals, making new friends, and building up an inventory that will soon be large enough to warp time and space in her stock rooms.
 * Recette's rapid climb from obscurity to internet fame almost entirely through word-of-mouth advertising provided Konata Izumi, Goddess of Viral Marketing, the last bit of power necessary to secure her rise from demigoddess to true divinity. As such, the two became immediate friends. Lately, Konata has been spotted hanging around Recette's shop while developing a line of Trope-tan collectibles.
 * Seeing as Recette earned the friendship of half her mercenary crew by convincing them to join her cause after their defeat, Recette also made immediate friends with Nanoha Takamichi. As soon as they met, half the Pantheon was heard groaning and saying, "Not another one!"
 * Due to her tendency to put the right information together into the most mind-boggling conclusion possible, Recette has also found a kindred spirit in Luna Lovegood and is being considered for a seat on the Council of Cloudcookooland. However, since Recette puts all her energy into her item shop, any seat awarded to her would likely would be little more than honorary.
 * Rumor has it that a formerly missing Maximum Security Artifact was discovered on her store shelves, apparently pawned off to her by a mysterious stranger who claimed it was a family heirloom. The SCP Foundation eventually persuaded her to release it into their custody, but only after she managed to convince them to pay an obscene amount of money for it.
