Trope Pantheons/Knowledge

The House of Knowledge, like the other Houses of the Pantheon, is bigger on the inside than the outside. There are no dead ends; each room opens onto other rooms, which are interconnected. Most of the House is a Library so vast that it is always capitalized, big enough that strange beasts live among the shelves in their own bizarre ecosystem. It's said that if you know where to look, you can find anything that could be stored on a shelf within it, from the novel you imagined on the bus to the Holy Grail. Unfortunately, what with the sheer scope and the nonsensical organization, it's pretty difficult to find anything specific on your own - there are hints that it was all organized neatly once, but since then there was a lot of hasty reshelving. Like all libraries, it is part of L-space.

The rest is primarily given over to reading rooms, laboratories, and testing chambers, but there is at least one classroom and a humming bank of enormous dusty computers moved out of the House of Technology. There are also labs located in the basement of the House, but they are wholly dedicated to weird and mad science. Few have the courage to venture down there to find out what dastardly experiments are being performed.

Some sections of the Library are open to all visiting mortals, extremely minor deities, and the gods of the Pantheon, some require Yomiko's permission to access, and some are sealed off. There is a minor Vashta Nerada infestation in the Young Adult section.

Jupiter, Maiden of Secrets

 * Greater Goddess
 * Symbol: A green astrological sign of Jupiter
 * Alignment: Neutral Good
 * Portfolio: The Five Faces Of Eve, Fate, Stars, Necessity, Inscrutable Plans, Koans, Secrets, Truth and Lies, Revealed Truths, Conspiracies, Planning and Manipulation
 * Domains: Balance, Destiny, Fate, Good, Knowledge, Mind, Oracle, Patience, Planning, Trickery
 * Allies: The Unconquered Sun, Luna, the other Maidens
 * Followers: The Sidereal Exalted, particularly the Chosen of Secrets
 * The Maiden of Secrets determines when information of any kind is found, hidden, lost, or rediscovered. Her talents have added more to the Library's collection than any other deity, and she is the ultimate arbiter of what is and isn't available for public access.
 * Rumored to be the only being in existence capable of comprehending the actions of Giygas.

Yomiko Readman, Goddess of Records (The Paper)

 * Intermediate Goddess
 * Symbol: A book...any book
 * Alignment: Neutral Good (True Neutral if it involves books and not people she cares about.)
 * Portfolio: Badass Bookworms, Moe Characters, Sexy Nerds, Extreme Bibliophiles, Hot Middle-Aged Women Who Wear Glasses, Paper Masters
 * Domain: Creation, Inquisition, Knowledge
 * Followers: Miyuki Takara (Lucky Star), Yuuno Scrya (Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha), the Librarian (Discworld), Wan Shi Tong (Avatar: The Last Airbender), Patchouli Knowledge (Touhou), Second Assistant Librarian Lirael of the Clayr (Old Kingdom trilogy), the Cat Formerly Known As Cheshire (Thursday Next)
 * Allies: Yue Ayase, Harriet Vane, David Sirlin
 * Official keeper of records for every house in the Pantheon. Her temple more or less is the Library. Rarely leaves it due to her total immersion in her work, both mentally and physically. Yuuno Scrya became her chief priest after he entered her Temple, the Infinite Library. Naturally The Librarian falls into her portfolio as well.
 * Can no longer leave the House of Knowledge due to plotting by the Evil Gods, but she doesn't really want to. Her herald The Librarian does all her errands for her, as he is the master of L-Space travel and truly loyal to his Head Librarian. Worshippers of Evil-oriented gods have at least once tried to get to Yomiko through her herald, but they made the mistake of saying the word 'monkey' during the caper, and... Orangutans are very strong.
 * Some of the more diplomatic Evil Gods realize that Yomiko has somewhat of a blind spot in ascertaining motives. As long as they're polite about it (and don't mention the 'monkey' word) her Library and related book distribution centers can be used to transport Death Notes and other tomes of eldritch lore. Yomiko will want to read them first, of course, but her attunement and enjoyment of reading cancels out any Brown Note effect they would have on her otherwise. She won't even realize there is one. This can only go for so long, however, until the less-patient "Chaos"-aligned gods screw it up somehow, often involving blowing up readers and libraries. It takes months to get into her good graces with bribes of classical first editions; until then, it's tough to get copies of The Necronomicon.

Deadpool, Destroyer Of The Fourth Wall (Wade Wilson, Merc With a Mouth)

 * Lesser God/Overdeity (depends on how much the writer is willing to let me look past the Fourth Wall)
 * Symbol: My belt buckle icon of myself (which I KNOW you totally want one, buddy) with a yellow text box. Oh, how fun they are! :)
 * Alignment: Chaotic Neutral is what they say I am, but I just say I do whatever the hell I want, bub!
 * Portfolio: The Fourth Wall (or the lack of it), Breaking Said Fourth Wall, Medium Awareness, Obfuscating Insanity, Whatever The Heck I Feel Like (I'm awesome and kinda fickle that way)
 * Domain: Comic Books (yes, the medium I'm in is my domain), Big Guns, Katanas, Welsh Corgis
 * Followers: Lots... but none of them know of it, and if they did they'd deny it out of humility.
 * Allies: Um... no, I don't think I have any...
 * My knowledge of the Fourth Wall allowed me to just slip into the Pantheon easily, since I know I'm popular enough for you(yes, you!) to eventually think of putting me here. Yeah. I'm such a Manipulative Bastard, eat your heart out, Batman!
 * Interestingly, with my expanding popularity, my Medium Awareness has also expanded, since I'm, slowly but surely, being featured in different media beyond comic books, and I have Medium Awareness in every single one of them. Soon, I will be able to overthrow all of the other deities in all the pantheons and create Deapoolia! COWER BEFORE MY LIMITLESS KNOWLEDGE! BWAHAHAHAHA!!!
 * Oh yeah, and I want to be featured in the cover of the next Street Fighter game, Capcom!!

Albert W. Wily, God of Mad Science (Dr. Wily)

 * Lesser God
 * Symbol: A large "W"
 * Alignment: Neutral Evil
 * Portfolio: Mad Scientists, Disappearing Villains, Super Robots, Men Behind The Man, Einstein Hair.
 * Domain: Corruption, Creation, Destruction, Metal
 * Followers: Dr. Victor von Frankenstein, Dr. Blight (Captain Planet and the Planeteers), Caulder (Advance Wars: Days of Ruin), Lash (Advance Wars: Main Series), Sigma (Mega Man X), Dr. Sivana (Shazam), Dr. Insano (The Spoony Experiment), Dr. Weird (Aqua Teen Hunger Force), the people behind The Academy (Firefly), Dr. Robotnik (Sonic the Hedgehog)
 * Allies: Mayuri Kurotsuchi
 * Opposed By: Agatha Heterodyne seems a natural enemy, but she hasn't overtly challenged him yet. She may be planning something.
 * He ascended when his mortal coil was forcibly shed by his last creation, Zero. However, he had planned for this possibility and had uploaded a copy of his mind to the Internet. In doing so, he gained direct access to the world's collective knowledge, gaining immortality and nigh omniscience at the same time. Of course, being directly linked to 4Chan drove him even more insane then he already was.
 * Mayuri Kurotsuchi tends to visit his lab for Mad Science about life and soul. Since Wily specializes more in robotics, he lets Mayuri do his research so his lab encompasses more things than just robot. Besides, it'll also do good for his Pantheon Domination plans.
 * As much as he is really evil, he can't stand Dr. Weil. Not only because he is threatening his place as the God of Mad Science, he's utterly disgusted at Weil's method of ruling the world. "Hey, if I take over the world, I'd never make all those under my rule suffer for lulz!"
 * He and Ganondorf once went to a pub. There, Wily joked that he's been behind the main villain more than Ganon.

The Brain, God of World Domination Schemes, and Guaranteed Failure
"M.Bison: OF COURSE!!!"
 * Lesser God
 * Symbol: His own head
 * Alignment: True Neutral (insists that he is Lawful Evil, however)
 * Portfolio: Explaining Things, Talking Animals, Obscure Mental Processes, Beating Sidekicks Senseless, Extremely Complex Schemes, Long Words, Super-Powered Inventions, Well-Intentioned Extremist.
 * Domain: Deception, Knowledge, Domination
 * Allies: Yakko, Wakko, and Dot Warner
 * Enemies: Elmyra Duff (he sees her as an enemy, anyway)
 * Finally achieved his goal of taking over the world and becoming its God. Unfortunately, that means he has to share the world with hundreds of others, but at least this time he has genuine worshippers.
 * Extremely annoyed at M. Bison. Everytime he schemes and utters the words 'Taking over the world', Bison always teleports in and yells "OF COURSE!!" and teleports away before Brain can do anything.


 * Succeeded in ousting Elmyra by exposing her most infamous crime to the Court Of The Gods.

Indiana Jones, God of Instinct, Pragmatic Combat

 * Demigod
 * Symbol: Fedora and a Bullwhip
 * Alignment: Chaotic Good
 * Portfolio: Whips, Dangerous Archaeology, Spur-of-the-Moment Plans, Last-Second Escapes
 * Domain: Luck, Investigation, Travel
 * Followers: Mal, The Arbiter, John-117, The Punisher, Ash
 * The patron saint of player characters. Is determined to have nothing to do with either Orochimaru, Voldemort or Luna, due to a pathological fear of snakes. Never forgets his hat.
 * He's also hoping to find an opportunity to pay back Chuck Norris for that bone shattering kick.
 * You would not think that he would be at home among the Library's shelves, but between the giant bookwyrms and lumbering thesauri, there is plenty of adventure to be had. Somewhere, the Holy Grail sits forgotten on a shelf, and some day, Indy will find it. Besides, 70% of archaeology is done in the library anyway.
 * In some other life, it is rumored that he was a great smuggler who fell in love with a rebel princess. He's not all that sure himself. Part of the reason he rarely leaves the shelves is because Jabba the Hutt has something against Indy, and wants to talk to him. Indy says "He's a wonderful human being, but I'll pass." Jabba has been banned from this House since that incident with the gravied pages, so he never shows up here.

Jamie Hyneman and Adam Savage, Gods of Busting Myths

 * Demigods
 * Symbol: Buster the Dummy
 * Alignment: Lawful Neutral (Jamie), Chaotic Neutral (Adam)
 * Portfolio: Myths, Science, Edutainment, Unconventional Teaching Methods, Explosions
 * Domains: Knowledge, Explosions, Invention, Explosives, Fire, Exploding
 * Followers: The build team (Myth Busters)
 * Currently testing the myth (submitted to them by Nabeshin) that "Explosions fix everything!!" They've performed several dozen test runs at M5 but have yet to reach a definite conclusion. So it's off to the Alameda Sheriffs' Bomb Range (or, as Adam calls it, "the Happiest Place on Earth").
 * They get along pretty well with MacGyver, sometimes asking for him to build something so that they may replicate the results of something, because replicating the circumstances didn't work out.

Daniel Jackson, God of Communication

 * Quasideity
 * Symbol: Sun over Pyramid
 * Alignment: Neutral Good
 * Portfolio: Universal Language, Talking Your Way Out, Glasses of Intelligence, Important Haircuts, Ascension, Role Takeovers
 * Domains: Language, Empathy, Negotiation, Ascended Realm
 * Once applied for a position of a Lesser God among the Ancients, but dropped out one year later, after realizing that Lawful Stupidity was a prerequisite.

Samantha Carter, Goddess of Sane Science

 * Quasideity
 * Symbol: SG-1 badge superimposed on an exploding star
 * Alignment: Lawful Good
 * Portfolio: Intelligence-based party members, Reverse Engineering Alien Technology, Hot Scientists
 * Domains: Inquisition, Knowledge, Mind, Travel
 * Is annoyed at the fact that the only achievement everybody remembers her for is blowing up a sun.

Rodney McKay, God of Science Gone Horribly Wrong

 * Quasideity
 * Symbol: Stargate Atlantis badge
 * Alignment: Lawful Good
 * Portfolio: The Smart Guy, Person of Mass Destruction, Not That Kind of Doctor, Jerkass, Omnidisciplinary Scientist
 * Domains: Knowledge, Mind, Intelligence, Technology
 * He would like to remind everybody that he didn't destroy an entire solar system... just five sixths of one.

Obi-Wan Kenobi, God of Mentors (Ben Kenobi, Old Ben, OB-1)

 * Lesser God
 * Symbol: A lightsaber
 * Alignment: Lawful Good
 * Portfolio: The Force, Well-Intentioned Lies, Calmness In Death, Spirit Advisors
 * Domains: Force, Mind, Mysticism, Spirit, Wisdom
 * Followers: Albus Dumbledore (Harry Potter), Splinter (Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles)
 * Having lost a planet 30 years ago, Obi-Wan browses the shelves looking for it, as he tells anyone who asks.
 * He very rarely leaves this House these days, although once he was a very active member of the House of Defense. If asked, he might just say that he's looking for that planet. He has never confessed to simply waiting.
 * Frequently the God of Ascended Extras and the Rebellion will find him, talk to him, and eventually ask him to help out - he and his are up against Vader and Thrawn(sometimes) and the Death Star and the Imperial Missile Boat and the Emperor himself! Obi-Wan feels a little guilty about leaving them like this and not wanting to face Vader yet, so from time to time he does go out briefly. At other times, he contacts Mara Jade to give her the go-ahead to leave Mary Suetopia and help them in his place.
 * Said God of Ascended Extras and the Rebellion was played by the uncle of the actor who played young Obi-Wan. Both of them are aware of that. It's part of the reason Obi-Wan lets Wedge find him. When he does leave, it's in his younger form, which is ironically younger than Wedge. At those times he wears armor, hides his face, and tries to pass as just another pilot/commando. Since the pilots are based in the House of Defense, where Vader works, there have been many close calls.
 * Readily saves people who are threatened by the House's fauna, including the squinting degenerated descendants of those who got too caught up in their research. He can make an eerily realistic imitation of the threat-call of the greater thesauri. Scares smaller creatures right off.

House, God of Medicine (Dr. Gregory House, M.D.)

 * Lesser God
 * Symbol: A Walking Cane
 * Alignment: Chaotic Neutral
 * Portfolio: One Liners, Doctor Jerks, Jerkasses, Jerks With Hearts of Gold, Men Who Sport Eternal Five O'Clock Shadows.
 * Domain: Healing, Chance, Luck, Wrath
 * Followers: Owen Harper (Torchwood), Simon Tam (Firefly), Meredith Grey (Grey's Anatomy), Ratchet (Transformers)
 * Allies: Spider Jerulsalem
 * Formerly the domain of Dr. Cox, but House challenged him to an epic battle of wits and while Cox gave rants that tore the world asunder, House's one-liners dealt far more damage, and Cox was deposed. Legend has it that Dr. Cox is now Walking the Earth among mortals and is awaiting retribution.
 * Currently banned from the Library section, having desecrated a lupus textbook to hide his drug stash.

Sir Isaac Newton, DEADLIEST SON-Of-A-BITCH-IN-SPACE!, God of Physics

 * Intermediate God
 * Symbol: An Apple
 * Alignment: Chaotic Neutral
 * Portfolio: Moving objects (Yes, this means you), Gravity, Inertia
 * Domains: Knowledge, Creation, Glory
 * Followers: The Gunnery Sergeant, physics teachers, artillerymen
 * SIR ISAAC NEWTON IS THE DEADLIEST SON OF A BITCH IN SPACE!

Gordon Freeman, God of Analytical Badassery

 * Intermediate God
 * Symbol: A crowbar
 * Alignment: Chaotic Good
 * Portfolio: Badass Bookworms, Awesomeness By Analysis, Genius Bruisers, [The Smart Guy Smart Guys]] Who Also Happen to be One Man Armies, Professors, Wordlessness
 * Domains: Force, Knowledge, War, Inquisition
 * Allies: Yuki Nagato (Haruhi Suzumiya), Sherlock Holmes
 * Followers: Midnighter, Tony Stark, Batman
 * Freeman's ascension into the House of Knowledge unfortunately brought with it a plague of headcrabs, which have integrated into the ecology of the Library. Beware.
 * It is theorized that if Gordon and Yue teamed up, they would be able to figure out the weaknesses of every god in the Pantheon. Except Fred Rogers. He has no weakness.
 * The only reason that they haven't yet done this is because Yue is too lazy to be bothered with it, preferring to hang out in the library and learn techniques from the Pantheon of Magic.

Ned Bigby, God of Students (Big Bee, Mop-haired Kid)

 * Demigod (Still has to make up the Lesser God exam...)
 * Symbol: Black-and-white Converse Chuck Taylors.
 * Alignment: Aims for Lawful Good, often has to settle for Chaotic Good.
 * Portfolio: Junior High, High School, all School Tropes by extension. Takes special responsibility for helping New Transfer Students fit in and cheering up Emo Teens.
 * Domains: Knowledge, Planning (hah!), Luck.
 * He doesn't know where everything is, but Ned takes great pleasure in showing visitors where the basic sections (transforming lead into gold, structural engineering, quantum dynamics, the History of Aviation, the bathrooms, birdwatching...) can be found. Expect a minor adventure on the way.
 * Steve Urkel reminds him a lot of one of his friends. They hang out on the weekends. Ned may or may not have been part of Adam Young's Them when he was younger, and from time to time wonders why he's grown up and Adam hasn't.
 * Several Trickster Gods have attempted to swap his Guide with Light Yagami's Death Note; so far it's been an even number of tricksters on any given day so we still don't know what kind of hilarity would ensue.
 * Is thankfully not subject to Luna Platz's attempts to control him, being a few years older than her.

The Bigpond Guy, God of Ass Pulls ("Dad", The Rabbit Guy)

 * Quasideity
 * Symbol: The Great Wall of China, a Rabbit
 * Alignment: True Neutral
 * Portfolio: Ass Pulls
 * Domains: Making Things Up On The Spot, Keeping Rabbits Out. There's too many rabbits in China.

Report Siht, Deity of Examples (This Troper, Report Shit)

 * Lesser Deity (Genderless)
 * Symbol: A bullet-pointed list
 * Alignment: True Neutral
 * Portfolio: Examples, Bold Inflation, Purple Prose, Those Whose Codename Is Mary Sue
 * Domains: Knowledge, Planning
 * Followers: Alice and Bob (and Aerith)
 * Allies?: (insert ally names here)
 * Report Siht is allegedly universal, but its power has been diluted somewhat in recent years by his left- and right-hand heralds, Alice and Bob.
 * The genderless, vaguely-defined characteristics of Report Siht make some people wonder if it might be related to Insert Name Here. Come to think of it, though it's hard to tell, no one's ever seen them together.

Steve Urkel, God of Nerds (Stephan Urquelle, Bruce Lee)

 * Lesser God (Higher when he uses the Bruce Juice serum.)
 * Symbol: His Nerd Glasses
 * Alignment: Lawful Good
 * Portfolio: Nerds, Butt Monkeys, Dysfunctional Families, Inventors
 * Domains: City, Invention
 * Followers: Napoleon Dynamite, William Cranston (Power Rangers)
 * Was originally a follower of Milhouse, until it was realized that Milhouse was not a nerd, 'cause "Nerds are Smart", at which point he deposed his former master by knocking him out as Bruce Lee.
 * Has caught the interest of the Council of Shadows over his Bruce Juice serum.

Jeff Albertson, Unpleasable Fanboy Extraordinaire (Comic Book Guy, The Collector)

 * Demigod
 * Symbol: Radioactive Man #1
 * Alignment: True Neutral
 * Portfolio: Unpleasable Fans, Catch Phrases, Nerds, Fan Dumb, Complaining About Shows He Doesn't Like, Geeks
 * Domains: City, Craft, Sloth
 * Worst. Pantheon. Ever.

Suiseiseki and Souseiseki, Twin Goddesses of Meme Theory (Desu and Boku)

 * Lesser Goddesses
 * Symbol: Tangled vines
 * Alignment: Lawful Neutral (Souseiseki), Chaotic Good (Suiseiseki)
 * Portfolio:
 * Both: Memes, Heterochromes, Polar Opposite Twins, Verbal Tics, Plant Control
 * Souseiseki: Cute Tomboys, Nice Top Hats
 * Suiseiseki: Would-Be Tsundere, Ensemble Darkhorses, Pranksters
 * Domains: Arborea, Mysticism, Nature
 * Followers: Tsuruya (Suzumiya Haruhi), Sean Connery
 * Opposed by: Milhouse, Chuck Norris
 * They ride into battle on the war chariot Bonecrusher, even though Bonecrusher hates being a taxi. Then again, there isn't very much Bonecrusher actually likes.
 * Rumors of Touhou Project trying to take their role as Gods of Memes remain unsubstantiated. Not a character from Touhou Project. ALL of Touhou Project
 * Desu.

Yue Ayase, Goddess of Intelligent Magical Strategy (Philosophastra Illustrans)

 * Lesser Goddess
 * Symbol: Juice Box
 * Alignment: Lawful Good
 * Portfolio: Great Big Book of Everything, Badass Bookworm, The Philosopher, Shorter Means Smarter
 * Domains: Libraries of any shape or size.
 * Allies: Yomiko Readman
 * Followers: Miyazaki Nodoka, Hermione Granger (Harry Potter), Lute (Fire Emblem)
 * Yue often spends time in the Library, it has plenty of books that interest her and aren't connected to her Orbis Sensualium Pictus. She often brings food to Yomiko, who often forgets to eat anything but what the Librarian brings her. Goddess or not, one cannot live on bananas alone.
 * Knows where Obi-Wan's lost planet is. Unfortunately, she isn't aware that he's looking for it, so she'll probably never get around to telling him where it is.
 * Due to recent events, She is also being considered for the position of Goddess of Taking a Level In Badass, although some other members (*cough*Evangeline*cough*) are wary of giving her any more influence, as she's already in the Council of Shadows, though her follower, Nodoka Miyazaki is certainly looking like a valid and able contestent for that position as well.
 * Nodoka recently proved her ability to take levels in badass and use them and make it look GOOD has caused her to be awarded the position over Yue, much to Nodoka's delight (it allows her more access to her "Sensei.")
 * Reports of a connection to Patchouli Knowledge are currently unsubstantiated.
 * Can be found hanging out with Shikamaru (House of Nature) in the House of Philosophy... as neither of them are connected to it so she can read while he takes a nap, without anyone asking them to do much.

Master Bordam Darlavon, Keeper of Badly-Translated Records ("Professor Boredom")

 * Lesser God
 * Symbol: Several encyclopedic volumes of the Zodiac Brave story
 * Alignment: True Neutral
 * Portfolio: Amusing But Ultimately Unhelpful Translations, Long-Winded Speech
 * Domains: Knowledge
 * Followers: Barry Burton (Resident Evil), Maechen (Final Fantasy X)
 * Allies: He thinks himself to be one with Yomiko, who'll read anything anyone writes.
 * Master Darlavon reportedly gave speeches to crowds all over the world, ignorant (for more than a decade) of the numerous spelling and grammatical errors contained within them.
 * If he offers to help, refuse. You'll be more confused than ever.

Sho Minamimoto, God of Numbers (Pi-Face, The Grim Heaper, Tabooty)

 * Lesser God
 * Symbol: A black baseball cap
 * Alignment: Neutral Evil
 * Portfolio: Mad Mathematicians, Insufferable Geniuses, Ensemble Darkhorses, Freaky Loners, Annoying Catch Phrases That Get Stuck In Your Head, Taboo Noise Transformation, Zetta Sons-of-Digits
 * Domains: Knowledge, City
 * Enemies: Neku, Zetta
 * Minamimoto singlehandedly built his throne and his temple using crushed beer cans and scrap metal, reciting tetrahedral numbers in his head to make sure everything was to his exact specifications.
 * Was seen minutes before his ascension spray-painting the words "You're so zetta slow!" all over Count von Count's castle. The words later came alive in the form of bat-shaped Noise and beat the Count to a pulp, since he lacked the Player Pins necessary to fight them. Has recently realized that gained him one...one very dangerous enemy! Ha Ha Ha Ha!
 * Likes attending Cirno's Perfect Math Class for lulz and laughs at Cirno's zetta idiocy at teaching math to those factoring hectopascals.

Eikichi Onizuka, Great Teaching God (Great Teacher Onizuka, GTO)

 * Greater God
 * Symbol: His motorcycle, complete with a plate with the number "22" on it
 * Alignment: Chaotic Good
 * Portfolio: AWESOME Teacher, Chivalrous Perverts, Situational Ugliness, Jerks with Hearts of Gold, Escalating Wars, Friends of the Yakuza, Delinquents, Aces
 * Domain: Knowledge, Pride, Strength
 * Followers: Mizuho Kazami (Please Teacher), George Feeney and later Jonathan Turner (Boy Meets World), David van Driessen (Beavis and Butthead)
 * While by no means a perfect man, Onizuka plans to introduce his own style of teaching to the House of Knowledge, and hopefully get some of the younger deities to fall in line with him. Yukari claims not to be impressed by his shenanigans, but feels genuinely threatened as he seems to have won Chiyo over to his side with a smile and a wink.
 * Ned doesn't want him anywhere near Moze, though.

Jade, Goddess of Intrepid Reporters (Shauni, Miss Thyrus)

 * Demigoddess
 * Symbol: A camera shutter
 * Alignment: Chaotic Good
 * Portfolio: Intrepid Reporters, Those Who Speak For The Resistance, Truth Seekers, Women Who Never Give In, Cute Girls Who are Not What They Appear To Be, Easily Persuaded Townspeople
 * Domains: News, Stealth
 * Followers: Tintin, Frank West (Dead Rising... he's covered wars, ya know), Ulala (Space Channel 5), Sarah Jane Smith (Doctor Who), April O'Neil (Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles), Kinue Crossroad (Mobile Suit Gundam 00), William De Worde (Discworld), Lois Lane (Superman), Irene Ellet-Koller (Valkyria Chronicles), Kazumi Asakura (Mahou Sensei Negima), Chisato Madison (Star Ocean the Second Story)
 * Ascended after forcibly beating pretenders Buck Williams and Rita Skeeter back in combat, armed with only a stick. With her followers, she produces the major Trope Pantheon newsletter, keeping the members of the house informed on the goings-on between the houses, and helps try and track what's happening in the Council of Shadows.
 * Despite belonging to the house of Knowledge, her supernatural abilities actually lie within the House of Life and Death. While she visits this house on occasion, she has yet to fully accept a place in that Pantheon. However, Jean Grey-Summers, Goddess of Rebirth, has her eye on this one...
 * Has a long-standing feud with Sally Floyd, who coveted this position but, thanks to her Head Trauma-Inducing Stupidity, was forced to accept a much lesser calling.
 * Was once challenged in position by Kinue Crossroad. Jade waited for her to come, but she never came. Later she found out that she really couldn't come because she ran into Ali Al-Saachez and got killed. In cooperation with the Pantheon of Life And Death, Jade allowed her soul to follow her.

Josiah Bartlet, God of Political Integrity (Jed, Mr. President)

 * Level of Influence: Intermediate God
 * Symbol: Seal of the Office of President of the United States
 * Alignment: Lawful Good
 * Portfolio: Honest and Personable Leaders With Integrity, Snarky But Amiable Brainboxes, Benevolent Bosses, Commanders-In-Chief Who Will Blow You To Hell If You Mess With Them Or Theirs, Overprotective Fathers
 * Domains: Hope, Knowledge
 * Opposed Politically By: "Stephen Colbert" (though they aren't really "enemies")
 * Capable of inspiring great loyalty from those who follow him, through leading by example. Folksy but sharp. Has been known to subject those who displease him to lengthy late-night lectures about U.S National Parks and the correct way of seasoning a Thanksgiving turkey.
 * Appeared in a dream to US President Barack Obama offering advice during the campaign.
 * Has become something of a mentor to the fatherless Ned Bigby. Anyone making fun of their similar names does so at their own peril (the Secret Service is keeping a 500-mile distance between Bartlet and "Sarah Palin", just in case).
 * Has found his recently-acquired divinity to be a useful addition to his armory of weapons used to intimidate prospective partners of his daughters, especially his youngest. Well, Godhood and the 82nd Airborne Division.
 * Commander Shepard and his/her allies aren't too keen on him due to his resemblance to The Illusive Man. Bartlett isn't too keen on the guy he resembles either, so unlike Shepard and TIM, at least Shepard would be willing to work with him again if he had to.

Walter Bishop, God of Fringe Science

 * Lesser God
 * Symbol: Fringe Patterns
 * Alignment: Chaotic Neutral
 * Portfolio: Omnidisciplinary Scientist, The Smart Guy, Mad Scientist, Genius Ditz, Idiot Savant, Cloudcuckoolander, Bunny Ears Lawyer
 * Domains: Intelligence, Insanity, Experimentation
 * Followers: Peter Bishop
 * Is the go to guy for the House of Defense whenever something inexplicable happens. Chances are, Bishop had performed an experiment for that exact phenomenon and has the data to rationalize it... if you're willing to overlook his many personality quirks.
 * Luna Lovegood and Osaka are regular visitors to Bishop's basement laboratory and have started calling him "Grandpa Bishop", much to Peter's annoyance. They've even let him into the Council of Cloudcuckooland, but he rarely attends meetings due to his experiments.
 * Also keeps a cow in his laboratory. No one has dared ask why.

Homestar Runner, God of Ditzes

 * Intermediate God
 * Symbol: His propeller cap
 * Alignment: Neutral Good
 * Portfolio: Former Fools, Being Out To Lunch, Being A Really Big Kid, Having a Hawd Time Speaking Pwopuhwy
 * Domains: Love, Luck, Stupidity, Trickery
 * Followers: Patrick Star (SpongeBob SquarePants), Chris Griffin (Family Guy), T-Rex (Dinosaur Comics), Italy (Axis Powers Hetalia)
 * Allies: Marzipan (off-and-on), Strong Bad (he thinks they're allies, anyway...), Ayumu Kasuga
 * Rivals: Squirrel Girl (his greatest rival in the All-Squirrel Football League)
 * Everybody loves the him! He's a terrific athlete!
 * During the Free Country Wars, Homestar Runner ruled over Marzistar/Homezipan alongside Marzipan, until Strong Bad was able to trick King Homestar into bringing Coachnya into the war against Marzipan's wishes. The country then dissolved into East Marzistar and East Homezipan.

Aya Shameimaru, Goddess of Paparazzi News And Rumors (Aya Syameimaru, SHAMEIMARU, ZUN's girlfriend, Fucking Gossip)

 * Lesser Goddess
 * Symbol: The Bunbunmaru Newspaper logo.
 * Alignment: Chaotic Neutral
 * Portfolio: Paparazzi, Wind Power, Exaggerating Things, Killing People By Taking Photos, Being a Crow Tengu, One Girl Newspaper Manager, Rumored Author Favoritism, Super Speed
 * Domains: Knowledge, Wind, News
 * Rival: Jade
 * Enemies: Yoichi Hiruma for hoarding his info
 * Aya manages the Bunbunmaru Newspaper alone, using it to spread some rumors around the Pantheon. To keep things interesting, she has used some exaggerations, but that sometimes doesn't sit well amongst the Gods. Articles and editorials penned by Sally Floyd and Floyd's followers have appeared in the newspaper under rather clumsy pseudonyms.
 * Although Aya had her ethics, she is not above peeking much into some of the Gods' private lives. Some regard her as Jade's Evil Counterpart (although she is not inherently evil).
 * Apparently there are rumors - not started by her, she swears - that because Aya was the girlfriend of one of the Pantheon's good men, ZUN, she bribed him to get her a position. Neither she nor ZUN has confirmed this.
 * Doesn't think so highly of the mortal Paparazzi newscaster Khalisah al-Jilani. Even her snide insinuations, disingenuous assertions and tabloid journalism made Aya Face Palm.

John Lloyd and John Mitchinson, Gods of Interestingness (The Two Johnnies)

 * Demigods
 * Symbol: The QI logo
 * Alignment: Neutral Good
 * Portfolio: Interesting Arcana, Comedic Education
 * Domains: Inquisition, Mind, Knowledge
 * Followers: The QI Elves, Stephen Fry
 * Enemies: Alan Davies (well, not really an enemy, but he does spent a lot of time getting quiz answers wrong because of them)
 * It is said that since becoming gods, they spend their entire time researching the most obscure and interesting elements of the Pantheon's history. This has made them a target for the Council of Shadows, but somehow the genial atmosphere of the panel show defuses any hostilities directed towards them once the Council's minions actually get there.
 * Thrawn appreciates what they do as a useful service, even if they are too free with any and all information.
 * Be wary when trying your luck at answering the questions that they pose, even -- especially -- if the question seems straightforward and the answer obvious. They do not punish wrong answers so much as they punish boring ones.

Davros, God of Science Gone Bad

 * Lesser God
 * Symbol: A Dalek
 * Alignment: Neutral Evil
 * Portfolio: Science Is Bad, Karmic Death, Magnificent Bastard, Back From the Dead, Moral Dissonance, Omnicidal Maniac
 * Domain: Corruption, Creation, Destruction, Metal
 * Allies: Majin Buu (Davros is his High Priest), The Master, The other Master,Mayuri Kurotsuchi, Red Skull.
 * He managed to get extremely lucky and land here after his latest cheat from death, and is currently working with Wily on something. At least until his Omnicidal Mania gets the better of him....
 * One of the most reviled gods in this Pantheon, and all the prouder for it.

Sherlock Holmes, God of Deductive Reasoning (The Consulting Detective, Sigerson, Holmes)

 * Demigod
 * Symbols: A deerstalker hat, a magnifying glass and a pipe
 * Alignment: Lawful Neutral
 * Portfolio: Intensely Perceptive Deductive Reasoning, Consulting Detectives (Especially those with Colourful Personal Lives and Eccentric Habits), Extremely Obscure Evidence Detection
 * Domain: Law, Knowledge, Order, Mind, Inquisition
 * Allies: The Doctor, Hercule Poirot (even though both would at best grudgingly admit it.)
 * Followers: Dr. John Watson, Detective Robert Goren, Adrian Monk, Basil of Baker Street (who lives beneath Holmes' floorboards and is his Mouse World counterpart), Conan Edogawa/Shinichi Kudo and Hakuba Saguru. The last two are notable for coming into occasional conflict with one Heiji Hattori, a disciple of Ellery Queen.
 * Repeatedly insists that the deerstalker should not be his symbol, and claims to have rarely worn one. As a result of its ongoing association with him, is frequently heard to bemoan his decision to let Dr. Watson chronicle his exploits, and is frequently heard to curse "that damned artist!"
 * Has developed something of a feud with Gregory House, considering the doctor's methods to be an amateurish substitute for his own. House has responded with a war of practical jokes.
 * Has taken to indoor target practice in the Library, shooting a copy of Queen Victoria's initials on the wall next to a fireplace. This irks Yomiko and the other patrons of the Library considerably.
 * Frequently consults with those from the House of Justice when a particularly complex matter comes before them; however, he is more interested in solving complex mysteries than bringing the guilty parties to justice, and has been known to let a guilty party go free if he is sufficiently convinced that their motives are sympathetic and their reasons for crime not without merit.
 * Along with Erwin Rommel, Robert E. Lee, Hannibal Barca, and Alexander the Great, Holmes is Thrawn's father. Holmes is a little disturbed by that factoid. He'd like to think that he would actually remember an orgy like that.

Hiruma Youichi, God of Blackmail

 * Lesser God
 * Symbol: A Devilbat
 * Alignment: Chaotic Neutral
 * Portfolio: Hyperspace Arsenal, Unusual Ears, Gratuitous Use of the F-Word, Devil in Plain Sight, Magnificent Bastard, Evil Laugh
 * Domain: Knowledge, Trickery, Stealth
 * Enemies: Aya Shameimaru
 * He's got dirt on everyone in his book of threats.
 * Gets overly irritated at that "Fucking Gossip!" for ruining a good portion of his blackmailng schemes by announcing them to the entire Pantheon.
 * Finds an occasional ally in the form of Ranko Hata, whose photography skills are greatly valued.

Hershel Layton, Ph.D, God of Puzzles (Professor Layton, The Professor)

 * Demigod

 * Alignment: Lawful Neutral
 * Portfolio: Ambiguous Intellectuals, Quintessential English Gentlemen, Intellectual Badasses, Puzzles That Test One's Intellectual Mettle, Explaining Things to Clueless Assistants, Insistance He Is Not a Detective, Surrogate Father Figures, Mentors, Wacky Technology
 * Domains: Mind
 * Allies: Sherlock Holmes
 * Opposed by: The Riddler
 * Despite having ascended to the Pantheon, he still regularly descends to Earth in order to assure that his apprentice, Luke, and surrogate daughter, Flora, keep up in their studies.
 * Gods from the other Houses detest running into him. Not because he's not a nice fellow--he's in every respect a perfect gentleman--but because of his tendency to say, "You know, this reminds me of a puzzle! Two trains are going in opposite directions and leave from their stations at 9:00 AM..."
 * Is opposed by The Riddler. The Riddler's specialty is making puzzles... his is solving them.

Violen Jiger, God of Questionable Romanizations

 * Lesser God/Lessar Got/Lethen Goz
 * Symbol/Cymbal: A wavy red line under a word.
 * Alignment/Arinumentu: Chaotic Neutral
 * Portfolio/Potforio: Difficult Names To Spell
 * Domain/Tomane: Knowledge
 * Followers/Farowuz: Aeris/Aerith Gainsborough, Sylia/Celia Stingray, Rune/Renee/Renais, Light/Raito Yagami, Walter C. Dollneaz/Dollners/Dornez, Pip Bernadotte/Bernadette/Vernedead, Gepplenitch/Geppernitch/Geppernich/Geperuniti/Geperunitchi, That Ghaddafi guy, and a great deal more.
 * Once a standard Transformers villain, Violen Jiger ascended to the position when Rartorata/Rartorarta/Rartalarta turned it down. He now presides over his followers from his Afterlife/After-life/Aphturlyfe.
 * His Kyū Dai Mashōgun, the Nine Great Demon Generals, are considering starting their own section as Gods of Puns That Don't Translate Very Well, but are kept in line by Violen Jiger.

Grand Admiral Thrawn, God of Military Geniuses (Mitth'raw'nuorodo, Thrawn, Commander/Captain/Colonel/Admiral Thrawn)

 * Demideity
 * Symbol: A pair of all-red glowing eyes on a blue background, or the Imperial crest
 * Alignment: To his enemies, he seems Lawful Evil, or Lawful Neutral in some cases. To those who serve under him, he seems Lawful Good. No one really knows.
 * Portfolio: Magnificent bastardry, strategy and tactics, art, an odd alien name, those whose plans may lead to greater good, Practicality, Flexible Plans, Valuing His Resources, Knowing When To Cut His Losses, Awesome By Analysis, Overcoming Fantastic Racism
 * Domains: Law, Nobility, War
 * Followers: the Silverberg family and Lucretia Merces (Suikoden), Zhuge Liang (Romance of the Three Kingdoms), Narsus (Arslan Senki), Darth Revan (according to Kreia)
 * Will kick your ass while admiring how you must have held your paintbrush during your magnum opus. He's a surprisingly good shot with a blaster, and his men are all fantastically loyal. Of late he has began to command the 501st Legion to very good effect.
 * Commands the Imperial Missile Boat, but has so far only had to call it down to take out an enemy once.
 * Currently dead. Or is he? Yeah, he is. Had a few clones set up, and now waits for the right time. Being dead and in the Pantheon isn't as big a deal as being dead in the rest of the galaxy.
 * There was a time when Grand Admiral Thrawn and Lord Haverlock Vetinari had never been seen at the same time. It passed.
 * There are hints that he is disdainful of the House of War - as one who is generally reserved and very good at the strategic side of war, he stands out among the screaming hordes of fighters. It's hard to tell - he hasn't confided in anyone. At any rate, he has also joined this house, and spends most of his time here or examining things in the House of Craft.
 * Thrawn is here partly because of his relationship to Sherlock Holmes. Combined with the various other people who contributed to him, this heritage allows him to practice an almost obscene version of psychoanalysis on people and cultures by studying their artwork, using it to identify weaknesses in their thinking or perception patterns, and then exploiting said weaknesses in devastating ways. He's got a bit of the Information Age in him.
 * Is very careful to stay on Yomiko's good side, and although he was initially unfamiliar with books that had pages, he got used to them. A lot of the bits of data he picks up seem trivial, but he pieces them together alarmingly fast.

Lieutenant Columbo, God of Obfuscating Stupidity

 * Demigod
 * Symbol: A rumpled beige trenchcoat, cigar and faded green Peugeot 203 convertible.
 * Alignment: Lawful Good
 * Portfolio: Investigators Who Are Much, Much Smarter than They Appear, Finding The One Loose Thread In A Well Thought-Out Lie And Slowly Unravelling It, Getting Wrongdoers To Trip Themselves Up.
 * Domain: Law, Knowledge, Order, Mind, Inquisition
 * Followers: Detective Robert Goren, The Doctor, Patrick Jane.
 * Has managed to trip up some of the most devious, cunning and wily beings in this pantheon, simply through showing up looking like a tramp and playing to their overdeveloped senses of confidence. No matter how many times he does it, they still never seem to catch on what he's doing until it's too late.
 * He has to admit, Mrs. Columbo sure is going to be impressed that he made it up here. If she ever shows up, that is. She's very elusive, you see, and ever since that imposter was running around pretending to be here, she's withdrawn even further.
 * Whispered, hushed rumours about this god circulate, insisting that maybe, just maybe... his first name is Phillip.
 * Seems to finish up his investigations remarkably quickly, except... oh. Just one more thing...

Cirno, Goddess of Idiots (Baka, Nine-ball)

 * Lesser Deity, despite her claims of being "the strongest!"
 * Symbol: A figure 9 in a circle
 * Alignment: Chaotic Neutral
 * Portfolio: Ice Fairy, Ditziness (or sometimes complete idiocy), Boasting
 * Domains: Ice, Magic, Stupidity
 * Allies: Ralph Wiggum, Tinkerbell, Dan Hibiki
 * Opposed by: Suwako Moriya, a non-Pantheon goddess associated with frogs. Her rivalry with Cirno is both fierce and adorable. Also, Wart.
 * Ascended to a Lesser Deity rank after starring in her very own game and even managing to give trouble to Marisa Kirisame, Goddess of Black Magic, in a duel.
 * Likes to share her "wisdom" in her 'Perfect Math Class'. Smarter members of the Pantheons join in just to laugh at her theories. That, or not even the smartest gods have figured out she thinks in base nine.
 * An alternate interpretation is that the perfect math class is not a math class at all, but a sarcastic and witty philosophical lesson teaching us that maths are not the most important in life. But Cirno can probably not count anyways.
 * Rumor goes Cirno is in fact one of the most intelligent gods in the Pantheon, pretending to be stupid in order to achieve some complicated master plan (perhaps taking over some greater god's position?) It has also been speculated said plan would be put into action on 09/09/09, or Cirno Day. This has been proven false. Whether this means she is really an idiot or whether the plan is simply not yet ready to be put into action remains unclear. The new rumor goes that the plan will be ready by 09/09/2099.
 * The alternative theory, that the Cirno Day plan was successful, but was such a subtle plot of sublime beauty that it operated on a level beyond everyone's comprehension, is patently ridiculous.

The Old Man Of Wandering Mountain (The Author)

 * Greater God
 * Symbol: A plain-looking book with the image of AURYN upon its cover.
 * Alignment: True Neutral
 * Portfolio: Writing Reality, Inescapable Reality
 * Domains: Knowledge, Fate, Patience
 * Allies: Very few, as very few know him. The Childlike Empress is one of the few to have met him, and yet is his exact opposite.
 * His job is to write down all that is and all that happens into a magical book. Everything that happens is written by him into the book, and everything that he writes into the book happens. As a result, he is at the same time one of the most powerful and powerless gods in the Pantheon; the book is reality itself, but he cannot change what has been written, and he cannot write anything that does not happen. He remains in isolation, away from most of the pantheon, in order to write without distraction.

Hari Seldon, God of Mathematics

 * Greater God
 * Symbol: A Scientific Calculator, the Time Vault
 * Alignment: Omniscient Morality License

 * Followers: the Foundations, Aeolia Schenberg, Mavolio Bent
 * Allies: Samantha Carter
 * Actually moved on centuries ago, but he predicted every possible event that his presence would be needed for and left a series of videotapes labeled with a date and time of when to play them, which function more or less exactly as his actual presence would.

 * Lesser Goddess
 * Symbol: Cowboy hat and Cherry blossoms

 * Domain: History, Artifacts, Reading
 * Allies: Luffy, Roronoa Zoro, Nami, Usopp, Sanji, Tony Tony Chopper, Franky, Brook
 * Enemies: World Government, Those who destroy history
 * Her knowledge of the lands that spans many centuries allows her to easily fill in the void of the Pantheon.
 * Has read every book in The Library as well as donated her own set of books to it.
 * Spends most of her time learning the history of other worlds, since her own native world's history has so few parallels to most others.

Tony Tony Chopper, God of Combat Medics

 * Domains: Good, Healing, Knowledge, Protection, War
 * Allies: Urdnot Wrex, Legion, Liara, Shepard
 * Followers: THE Medic, Valentine
 * Enemies: Davros, Mayuri Kurotsuchi
 * Easy to underestimate. Frail frame provides advantages. Never see him coming.
 * Believes science should be used for good. Will not tolerate live experimentation. Senseless waste. All life precious.
 * Regretful of past work. Feels necessary yet unforgivable. Will fight for the lost.
 * Sees work with Chopper and developmnent of cure for everything as suitable path to atonement.
 * Recently took position on Love Patheon to give knowledge. Specifically, The Talk. Needed there.

Councilor Sparatus, God of Dismissing Claims

 * Symbol: Air quotes.
 * Alignment: Lawful Neutral
 * Portfolio: Being an asshole to Shepard no matter what Shepard does, being racist against Shepard, air quotes
 * Allies: Councilors Tevos and Valern, the Ministry of Magic, President Neutral.
 * There are no immortal mechanical beings out in deep space planning to destroy all organic life. Absolutely none.
 * With the recent upcoming events, many Gods have been placing their bets to see him have a breakdown.
 * "Ah yes, "godhood". A being having divine attributes, ranking above mortal beings. We have dismissed that claim."
 * "Ah yes, "godhood". A being having divine attributes, ranking above mortal beings. We have dismissed that claim."

Micah Sanders, God of Young Prodigies (REBEL)

 * Lesser God
 * Symbol : A cell phone with a text message sent from REBEL.
 * Alignment: Neutral Good

 * Domain: Technology, Knowledge, Truth, Justice, Machinery
 * Allies: Freddie Benson, Tony Stark, Reed Richards, JJ Powell
 * Enemies: Braniac, Stewie Griffin
 * Followers: Reid Spencer, Cody Martin, Malcolm and Dewey, Will Vandom
 * Wanted to take the position of the God of Technopathy, but the position was filled by Braniac. Micah's reaction to this was simply "whatever". Braniac took that as a threat and they have been enemies ever since.

Hercule Poirot, God of Sherlock Holmes imitators

 * Lesser God
 * Symbol: A neatly trimmed mustache.
 * Alignment: Usually Neutral Good, even though it can range into Lawful Neutral territory.
 * Domain: Detective Work
 * Profile: Poirot Speak, Obfuscating Stupidity
 * Followers: Arthur Hastings, and most John Watson imitators.
 * He won this title over all others by basically becoming a carbon copy of Holmes, except for one slight difference. The difference was that he solved cases through psychology, while Holmes solved them through science. Mostly.
 * Also, every single story he is in has at least one Shout-Out to Sherlock Holmes.
 * He and Sherlock have a rivalry to see who can solve mysteries in the Pantheon faster. The score as of now has Holmes winning by a few cases. When told this, however, by Gods who want to incite trouble, Poirot just smiles and states that they both have solved all the cases, Holmes just does it slightly faster.

Cave Johnson, God of The Pursuit of Pointless Knowledge

 * Intermediate God
 * Symbol: The Aperture Science Logo
 * Alignment: Chaotic Stupid
 * Portfolio: Teleportation, Experiments, Cool Gates, Threatening to burn down Life's house with combustible lemons, Impractical Use of Incredible Technology
 * Domain: Insanity, Destruction, Knowledge, Chaos, Lemon Grenades
 * Allies: GLaDOS, Dr. Wily, The Myth Busters
 * Enemies: Wallace Breen and Black Mesa, Sam Carter
 * As the man responsible for GLaDOS, Cave Johnson is considered a man to be feared, or at least be cautious of. With an obsession for go-nowhere experiments and creating fantastic items for mundane and totally unsuitable purposes, Johnson is a special type of crazy.
 * Wants to hire the Mythbusters for... Something. He hasn't thought that far ahead.

Aerith Gainsborough, Goddess of Long-Spoiled Spoilers (Aeris, The Flower Girl)

 * Demigoddess
 * Symbol: Her hair ribbon
 * Alignment: Neutral Good
 * Portfolio: White Magician Girls, Magically-Inclined Mysterious Women, Martyrdom, Dying,
 * Domain: Spoilers, White Magic, Protection, Light
 * Allies: Most good-aligned Final Fantasy deities.
 * After her ascension, someone hung a flashing neon sign reading "SHE DIES" over her resting quarters in the Pantheon. It's become a sort of running gag among the more mischievous gods to come up with some sort of humiliating punishment should they come across someone surprised by said sign. Thus far, no victims have been reported.
 * It has been said her position came with a book containing knowledge of every spoiler and plot twist in every work of fiction that does, has, or will ever exist. Fortunately for everyone she's kept a close eye on it and is considerate enough to not reveal anything too drastic from its contents. However, she has mixed feelings about her death being listed on the first page.

== Twilight Sparkle, Goddess of Checklists and Telekinesis (Twi, occasionally Twilight Psycho == [[File:Twilight02_7377.png|frame
 * Intermediate Goddess
 * Symbol: her Cutie Mark, a purple and white star.
 * Alignment: Lawful Good
 * Portfolio: awesomeness through reading, adorableness through reading, magical adorableness, learning ANY magic (and losing control of it), telekinesis, organizational skills to the max... maybe too much to the max... seriously... way too much!, cute nerds, those abused a lot, never relenting, incredible skill at a tender age, rationality and somewhat arbitrary skepticism, humility, lack of friends... until recently, lack of social skills, weak magicians... sometimes, teleportation, "Dear Princess Celestia... ...your faithful student, Twilight Sparkle"
 * Domains: Magic, Order, Books
 * Allies: Applejack, Rarity, Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie
 * Followers: Bronies
 * Enemies: Discord (currently petrified)
 * Ascended together with Spike (currently a demigod), and keeps writing letters about friendship to Princess Celestia. Was very offended to learn her revered teacher was not part of the Tropes Pantheon and is currently looking for a way to deify her.
 * As Element of Magic, Twilight Sparkle possesses the power to call upon the rest of the Mane Cast to make use of the Elements of Harmony on anything that stands in their way. As all six have been deified, this uses much less energy than it used to.
 * Spends a lot of time in the Pantheon's immense library learning new spells. Her already great power is growing exponentially, and many members of the Pantheon make sure to give Twilight a wide berth, though others snicker all that power is just as likely to blow up in her face whenever she casts a spell.
 * Telekinesis is still her signature ability, and the one least likely to go horribly awry. Already capable of amazing feats pre-Godhood, and with the inherent increase of power that comes with being part of the Pantheon, nobody is really sure where Twilight's limit even IS.
 * When she is neither in the library nor hanging out with friends, she tries to help with whatever she can, wherever she can. Her organizational skills come in handy and so does her magic, though other Gods do often get tired of Twilight's triple-checking of checklists. Most keep quiet about it though - everyone knows that checklists are Serious Business to Twilight Sparkle.
 * The first time Flandre Scarlet saw her, she commented: "Hey look, it's pony Patchouli!" and demanded that Twilight "play", much to the dismay of the unicorn, who knew full well who she was dealing with having earlier read "Perfect Memento in Strict Sense". The general consensus is that for someone confronted to Flandre Scarlet Twilight did very well, erratically warping around Flandre and countering magic bolts with magic bolts, though a well-placed Laevattein blow did eventually leave her with burns and a scorched mane.
 * Tried to read Twilight. It was one of the rare books she has failed to finish, and the fact that she shares her name with it (plus one of Edward's defining characteristics) makes her mane go up in flames sometimes.
 * In one obscure tome she found a spell that caught her attention by both its effects and its very name: Twilight Spark. She hasn't had the chance to try casting it yet, but the Gods are rather scared that she just might succeed.

Jack Frost, God of Street Smarts and Wisdom (Dane McGovan, "/(The Chosen One)/" [sic], The Invisible Buddha)

 * Greater God (consuming five Archons technically makes him at least equal to two-and-a-half gods)
 * Symbol: The blank badge
 * Alignment: Ultra-Neutral
 * Domain: Keepin it Real, Intuition, Sage Wisdom, Kicking you in the Balls, Shifting Paradigms, Seeing Both Sides of the Conflict
 * Portfolio: Did You Just Eat The Superdimensional Reality Warping Death Gods, Did You Just Kick The Secret Lord Of England In The Balls So Hard He Threw Up, Did You Just Have Tea With Satan, Did You Just Turn The End of the World as We Know It Into A Pun, the list of his audacities just goes on and on

 * Was taught "all the magic" by Tom O' bedlam, the greatest sorcerer in the history of the human race
 * Literally, unironically, chosen by time aliens to save mankind and usher in a new age of peace and universal harmony

Philip and JK, Gods of Teenage Knowledge Brokers

 * Lesser Gods
 * Symbols:
 * Philip: A Cyclone Gaia Memory
 * JK: His Memetic Hand Gesture--his arms crossed and his hands forming a 'J' and 'K'
 * Alignment: Neutral Good
 * Domain: Knowledge Broker, ability to get information on anything
 * Portfolio:
 * Both Share: Hair Decorations, interesting fashion sense
 * Philip: Motor Mouth, Super OCD
 * JK: Dance Battler, Life of the Party
 * Followers: Kamen Riders
 * The two ascended around the same time after finding out about the Pantheon. Philip claims that he was going through the Gaia Library and found and interesting book, going as far as to ramble off to the Pantheon without knowing. JK, on the other hand, got some connections and immediately rushed toward the Pantheon to obtain his seat.
 * Philip is able to access the information of the Earth itself. However, a very minor setback is that once he is fully absorbed in one subject, he won't stop stop talking, nor stop searching until he knows everything about said subject.
 * JK knows everything about everyone in the Academy and has set up an incredible amount of connections amongst the Pantheon. The only thing that's stopping him from using it for evil is his Undying Loyalty to Gentaro and the Kamen Rider Club.
 * JK is known to hang out with Ryutaros every now and then for a dance battle. He will not, however, join Ryutaros should the Imagin start shooting stuff down for fun.
 * JK is known to host a little something called "JK Night" every now and then. Be forewarned that this is also around the same time that Pinkie Pie also hosts her magnificent parties. The Gods are worried about the complications of the two combing their own parties into one big extravaganza.

Spider Jerusalem God of Unobjective Journalism

 * Lesser God
 * Symbol: A bowel disruptor
 * Alignment: Chaotic Good (in a very Anti-Hero way)
 * Portfolio: Frequent drug trips, Lots of profanity, using unorthodox weapons, Being an asshole most of the time but not being totally heartless, Brutal Honesty, committer of some bastardly acts but still having morality, having no hair and Different colored yet very cool looking shades that can take pictures.
 * Followers: His "filthy assistants" Channow Yarrow and Yelena Rossini (who ascended with him to make sure he isn't too stoned to do his job in the Pantheon), every journalist who has ever devoted themselves to "The Truth", no matter what.
 * Allies: Dr. House (fellow dopeheads, more or less)
 * Enemies: Every corrupt politician ever, but ESPECIALLY Gary "The Smiler" Callahan
 * Spider is a somewhat polarizing figure for the House of Justice. On one hand, he makes sure no evil deities get away with anything and will do anything for the truth and exposes it for all to see, but many of the more law and order types aren't a fan of his tactics being little different from those he opposes nor his drug habits. On the other hand, given that the targets of his articles tend to be the scummiest criminals in the Pantheon, most of the same law abiding gods usually don't give two tugs of a dead dog's cock about doing anything to seriously oppose Spider.
