Trope Pantheons/Emotion

What the House of Emotion looks like is irrelevant, for within its walls is quite literally a raging storm of rampant, unpredictable energy not too different from a massive Swirly Energy Thingy. Fueled by the various emotions and feelings radiating from every sentient being in the cosmos, the deities of emotion rank among some of the most powerful and unpredictable in the entire Pantheon. Only one with a truly strong will and, perhaps, a signature emotion of their own are able to resist. Sensible visitors that want to keep their sanity intact are best advised to avoid this House at all costs.

It has however been reported that if visitors keep their trips in short, the catharsis of experiencing these various strong emotions in rapid succession is both exhausting and satisfying. Rumor has it that under the storm, this House has just as much drama as the House of Family.

Despair of the Endless

 * Overdeity
 * Symbol: A hooked ring
 * Alignment: True Neutral
 * Portfolio: Despair, Decay, Doom, Decline, Sado-Masochism, Loss of Hope
 * Domains: Plotting against kindred, Degenerate sects.
 * Followers: High Priest and Priestess Nozomu Itoshiki and Kafuka Fuura
 * By some quirk, Nozomu Itoshiki was originally ordained as the God of Despair by Haruhi-sama. But then it became slowly apparent that he just enjoyed being in despair far, far too much. The Endless Despair decided he was doing it wrong; so supplanted him. His...enthusiasm for the role did retain a seat; however, it's his companion Kafuka Fuura, whose bright smile hides a bleakness far beyond anyone's ability to comprehend, who really earns the position.
 * Allies: Shinji Ikari, Grandfather Nurgle, Desire of the Endless
 * Is pretty much the only deity willing to hang out with Nurgle. They can often be seen having a few beers together and discussing how to ruin Itoshiki's sanity even more.
 * Has a love-hate relationship with Superman of the Heros and Villains pantheon. She looks on him as would a mother, but is very disappointed in him, since he denies his very purpose of existence by being a cheerful guy. He, meanwhile, is completely unaware.

The Seven Lantern Corps

 * Collective of quasideities, led by demigods, with a Lesser God Emotional Entity personifying each corps' driving emotion and power
 * Symbol: Seven separate symbols, all based on the circle, one for each corps, always embossed on a ring and lantern
 * Alignment: Red--Chaotic Evil, Orange--Neutral Evil, Yellow--Lawful Evil, Green--Lawful Good (their leaders, the Guardians, are Lawful Neutral though), Blue--Neutral Good, Indigo--True Neutral (brainwashed with Compassion), Violet--Chaotic Good (leaders are Chaotic Neutral)
 * Portfolio: Colors, emotions, humors (Red--Rage, Orange--Avarice, Yellow--Fear, Green--Willpower, Blue--Hope, Indigo--Compassion, Violet--Love)
 * Most of the corps are led by one or more demigods: the Red Lanterns by Atrocitus, the Green Lanterns by the Guardians of the Universe, the Blue Lanterns by Ganthet and Sayd, and the Violet Lanterns by the Zamarons. All Orange Lanterns are emanations of the demigod Larfleeze. The Yellow Lanterns are led by one of their own, Sinestro. Indigo Lanterns are led by the creatively named Indigo-1.
 * In addition to the leaders, they each have a "mascot" of sorts, a personification of their emotion of Lesser God level of power, and varying degrees of independence from the corps' heirarchies. Red has Butcher the Red Bull, Orange has Ophidian the Orange Snake, Yellow has Parallax, Green has Ion the Green Space Whale, Blue has Adara the Blue Eagle, Indigo has Proselyte the Indigo Octopus, and Violet has Predator the Violet Dragon.
 * The seven Lantern Corps are each devoted to spreading their given emotion throughout the universe like Valkyries flying between the stars. The members of each are mortals empowered by the Emotional Spectrum, a universal force that grants them a fraction of divine power. All save the Red and Orange Lanterns--nihilists and egoists, respectively--are convinced that what they do is for the good of the universe.
 * There is also a Chaotic Evil Black Lantern Corps that exists outside the others' structure and represents a total dearth of emotion. They intend to destroy all seven corps, but little is known of them as yet.
 * Further investigation has unearthed horrifying information about the Black Lantern Corps: led by BlackHand, and, they seek to eliminate all life, and to return the DC Universe to absolute darkness. They've already toppled one of the Pantheon's Greater Gods of Heroes and Villains: , and using the   against them. The Pantheon fears what could transpire if they penetrate the Pantheon...

Khorne, Tzeentch, Nurgle, Slaanesh, Gods of Chaos

 * Overdeity as a whole, Greater Gods individually
 * Symbol: The eight-pointed star of Chaos, or their individual glyphs
 * Alignment: Chaotic Evil
 * Portfolio: War and Strength, Change and Hope, Decay and Rebirth, Excess and Perfection
 * Domains: Potentially everything
 * Followers: Renegades and heretics, marauders and libertines, the Lost and the Damned. Each god also has his own Chaos Space Marine legion and countless daemonic hordes to command.
 * When the Dark Gods march in step and the legions of the Undivided act with one will, galaxies burn and even overdeities tremble. Fortunately for the rest of creation, the Chaos Gods are also eternal rivals and spend much of their time warring amongst themselves.
 * Due to the range of forces and domains that each Chaos God represents, many of their followers serve them unawares. Especially Tzeentch's pawns.
 * Some misguided sages have proposed that since the Chaos Gods represent all mortal emotions, even benign forces like Honor and Love albeit twisted to negativity, then many, if not all of the other gods in the Pantheon may simply be aspects of the Dark Gods. This is, of course, ridiculous.
 * The Despair of the Endless is possibly Nurgle's only 'buddy.' Tzeentch hates him, while Khorne and Slaanesh don't particularly care.
 * Even they fear Fred Rogers. In this case it is not so much his martial prowess as his ability to reach out to people's inner children and draw out positive emotions; for gods composed entirely of negative feelings, this means he could destroy them utterly if he wished.

Venus, Maiden of Serenity

 * Greater Goddess
 * Symbol: A blue astrological sign of Venus
 * Alignment: Neutral Good
 * Portfolio: The Three Five Faces Of Eve, Fate, Stars, Necessity, Inscrutable Plans, Koans, The Power of Love, The Power of Friendship, Marital Bliss, Sex, Happiness
 * Domains: Balance, Charm, Community, Destiny, Family, Fate, Good, Lust, Oracle, Patience, Planning
 * Allies: The Unconquered Sun, Luna, the other Maidens
 * Followers: The Sidereal Exalted, particularly the Chosen of Serenity

Chiyo Mihama, Goddess of Cuteness (Chiyo-chan)

 * Lesser Goddess
 * Symbol: Tadakichi, her pet dog
 * Alignment: Neutral Good
 * Portfolio: Cute and Cheerful Children, Child Prodigies, Expressive Hairstyles, Big Friendly Dogs, Penguin Costumers, Woobies, Fun With Cooking
 * Domains: Dream, Knowledge, Radiance
 * Followers: Quinn Morgendorfer (Daria), Hello Kitty, Mitsukuni "Hani" Haninozuka (Ouran High School Host Club)
 * Allies: Yotsuba, Molly Hayes, Bryan Mills, Sakai, Osaka.
 * Rivals: Miu
 * With exception to Omega, Chiyo-chan is one of the few deities in the entire Pantheon with absolutely no enemies. Even Sauron thinks she's adorable. Has both Bryan Mills and Zero on speed dial if Omega tries to attack her. Seriously, even the worst Complete Monsters, freakin Melkor and the goddamn Anti-Monitor are apathetic about her at worst. The only other being who antagonizes her is the Ebon Dragon, but only because he's supposed to be the antagonist of EVERYBODY.
 * Her high priestess is Molly Hayes, a really freakin' mysterious being made mostly out of cute, with Super Strength mixed in.

Bugs Bunny, God of Chutzpah (Scwewy Wabbit, Wascawwy Wabbit, Long-Eared Galoot)

 * Greater God
 * Symbol: WB Logo, Carrot, Rabbit hole with mailbox
 * Alignment: Chaotic Neutral
 * Portfolio: Trickster Archetypes, Karmic Tricksters, Western Animation, Funny Animals, Duck Season! Rabbit Season!, Declarations of War, Refuge in Audacity, Deadpan Snarkers, Lampshade Hanging, Crossdressers, Wig Dress Accents, Hammerspace, Foe Yay
 * Domains: Chaos, Trickery, Wrath, Charm, Courage, Determination
 * Followers: Screwy Squirrel, Buster and Babs Bunny (no relation, Tiny Toon Adventures), Reisen Udongein Inaba, Tei Inaba (Touhou)
 * Allies: Yakko, Wakko, and Dot Warner (he taught them everything he knew), Mel Blanc (One may be an aspect of the other, but which?)
 * Bugs had an argument with Daffy Duck over who should be the god of this domain. Bugs won by saying that Daffy should.
 * After being 'shitted' out by The Angry Video Game Nerd, his response was... "Of course you realize, dis means WAR!". The ascension of Freddy Krueger gives him another ally who shares his desire for revenge with the Nerd. He has since made an agreement with Death, and Woody The Woodpecker which ended with the Nerd in hell and Bugs and Woody safe in the land of the living.
 * Is currently counseling Reisen Udongein Inaba after the latter was finally fed up with her fellow rabbit Tei for playing pranks that makes her life miserable. Bugs is now teaching Reisen the art of Escalating War... unfortunately this is part of a prank he agreed with Tei previously.
 * The last time that Bugs, Cartman, and Sweeney faced off for the title of Overdeity over Escalating War, things quickly escalated from the usual amusing injuries to tessaract anvils, Ramen Noodles, more cream custard that is supposed to fit in hot pants, magical paint, regular anvils, an anti-gravity vortex, a Nurse Joy disguise, a Meowth, Metal Gear Rex, and a hammer, the moonwalk, Knife Bending, an overly complex wedgie mechanism, and a contest to see who could give Yugi the best haircut. After stopping Yugi from calling Exodia into this, Dreams, Carrot and Mister Rogers forbid all three of them from having the title until they can agree on it peacefully. Thus, the crown of Escalating War lays empty to this day...
 * When he's not staying here, he's usually at his second position in the House of Mentalism. He is despised because people are usually too busy scheming to keep from falling into his rabbit hole. The last attempt to oust him from his position of Karmic Trickery, led by Light Yagami, Azula, and Batman, have proved in vain, as Bugs's ability to escalate war into infinity eventually overwhelmed Yagami and Azula. Fortunately, Batman had a backup plan: simply apologize to Bugs, and ask him to put a fence around his hole. The plan succeeded, for the time being. Azula and Yagami still plot against Bugs, but in hiding, as Bugs has friends in high places
 * Is mainly known for his ability to defeat enemies by driving them insane. Several other Gods have tried to copy this (The Joker, Hazama, Light Yagami), although Bugs has managed to outwit even the most insane of his rivals, showing how he does not look kindly on those who would actively use these skills for evil.

Yotsuba Koiwai, Goddess of Joy (Four-Leaf, 404 Girl)

 * Demigoddess
 * Symbols: A four-leaf clover, a cicada
 * Alignment: Chaotic Good

 * Allies: Excel, Chiyo-chan
 * Opposed By: Scarecrows, Tengu, The Enemy ("Are we under attack!?!?")
 * Daddy: Mr. Koiwai
 * Koiwai is Yotsuba's earthly guardian, a duty given to him by Chiyo-chichi. Yanda is a minor trickster spirit that delights in poking fun at Her.
 * Her motto: Enjoy everything!
 * Seems unaware of a veritable army of depraved lunatic followers who secretly protect her from harm. The tricksters of the house are making sure she never finds out.
 * Give her ice cream, and she'll be your friend forever.

Eric Cartman, God of Extreme Revenge Plots

 * Enjoys scaling the wall to rip on Kenny for being poor, despite having new-found wealth.
 * Is forming an alliance with Bugs Bunny, due to their enjoyment of Escalating War.

Heero Yuy, God of Stoicism (Red One, Zero One)

 * Lesser God
 * Symbol: The wing of Wing Zero Gundam
 * Alignment: Chaotic Good
 * Portfolio: Lack of Visible Emotion, Humongous Mecha Pilots, Empty Death Threats
 * Domains: Army, Fate, Liberation, Limbo
 * Followers: Setsuna F. Seiei (Gundam 00), Squall "Leon" Leonhart (Final Fantasy VIII and Kingdom Hearts)
 * Allies: Cloud Strife, Sousuke Sagara
 * Opposed by: Char Aznable, Ryouma Nagare, Kamina
 * Does not get along well with Char, Ryouma, Kamina, and the other major gods of mecha pilots. Their churches frequently compete for worshippers, though Heero Himself doesn't care all that much.
 * Once intervened to save Iron Man from Starscream. He doesn't know why He bothered - Megatron showed up immediately after, and then Optimus Prime had to step in.
 * Did an Evil Laugh once. He never did that again.

Shinji Ikari, God of Psychosis (Angel, That Idiot)

 * Lesser God officially, although like Optimus Prime, he can go head-to-head with Intermediate and Greater Gods... Under certain conditions.
 * Symbol: The NERV logo
 * Alignment: Chaotic Good
 * Portfolio: Butt Monkeys, Emo Teens, Post Modernism, Obtuse Religious Symbolism, Unstoppable Rage, Deus Angst Machina
 * Domains: Destiny, Destruction, Suffering, War
 * Followers: Rei Ayanami (Neon Genesis Evangelion)
 * Allies: Diabolus Ex Machina, Despair, Kaworu Nagisa, Yui Ikari
 * Shinji is prophesied to bring about The End of the World as We Know It by summoning the avatar of Creator Breakdown to this world. He's not happy about this, but then, he's not happy about anything. If pushed too far, he might just snap and totally wale on everything.
 * Asked Himei about her life, thinking that the story of someone who ascended to the seat of Hope would make him feel better. Ran away screaming by the time she reached around 4/5 of it and has since gained an even bleaker view of life.
 * Thus far, there are only two things that can turn him into a Badass: The slap from Bright Noa, or a the mind-warping influence of Warhammer 40,000. Such changes are sadly temporary due to Haruhi's almighty Reset Button.
 * While not necessarily Badass, however, there are in fact quite a few deities who would be more than willing to at least hang out with him and make him feel a bit better. As with the above, however, such periods of relative happiness for him are all too short, thanks to O-Haruhi-sama's Reset Button.
 * Despite his misgivings about life in general, he knows that one thing is for certain: he mustn't run away.
 * He may be a wimp, but don't piss him off. The results aren't pretty. And for the love of God (pick one), don't ever kidnap Rei, or he'll cause instrumentality just to bring her back.
 * Is the equal and opposite force to Simon, God of Drills. No hatred exists between them, but the results of Shinji's EMO and Simon's pure GAR fighting against each other could wipe out all of existence.
 * Recently however, Shinji was reincarnated (or had his memories erased, we aren't sure) and in his new life has appeared to take cues from Simon towards life, casting off his angst easier than before and proving he too can "kick reason to the curb and go beyond the impossible"., but it's a step in the right direction.
 * Is believed by many to have once met a parallel version of himself on an extradimensional ghost train, a version that grew up to become the God-Emperor of Mankind (and an Overdeity, thereby). He grows distant when asked about it, though, and stops saying anything, so it's impossible to know for sure.
 * Being the God of Psychosis and mental breakdowns, Shinji's own raw power dramatically increases the further he slides into madness, from being a mere Lesser God while sane, to being strong enough to topple Greater Gods and cause The End of the World as We Know It - at some times, even bordering on low-level Reality Warper - once he Goes Mad From The Revelation.
 * Similarly, being the God of mental breakdowns, he periodically changes between different versions of himself. His "Series" persona is usually depressed, but is also his second sanest persona. His "End" persona, however, is constantly on the brink of critical sanity failure, and is therefore tied for his most powerful persona, but is also the most volatile. His "Rebuild" persona is mid-way between the previous two in terms of mental cohesion, is tied with his "End" persona for the most powerful, and tied with his fourth version for most Badass. His "SRW" persona is Shinji at his sanest, and tied with his "Rebuild" persona for most Badass. Despite having almost no angst problems at all in this persona, he's still more powerful than his "Series" self, in large part to taking numerous levels in badass thanks to Bright Noah.
 * He can also sympathize with Setsuko Ohara, as she is one of the few deities even more depressed than he is. If not for The Status Quo and Haruhi's trigger finger on the Reset Button, the two would hang out more and likely be good friends.

Antimony Carver, Goddess of Emotionless Girls (Annie)

 * Symbol: The alchemists' symbol, the wolf

 * Followers: Daniel Bryan
 * Opposed by: Guile, Ryu, Chun-li,
 * The day Bison flew into the Heavens was immediately declared a national holiday in 17 different countries. But for Him, it was...Tuesday.
 * Loves to tease The Nostalgia Critic whenever the Critic mentions that someone else is attempting to Take Over the World. "Of course!", none can attempt it with as much style and flair as Bison.
 * Believes evil is delicious, and will approve something that he likes twice.
 * Is in an epic YesNo standoff with Chuggaconroy. So far, it hasn't ended yet.

Leonard McCoy, God of Emotional Responses (Bones)

 * Greater God
 * Symbol: Starfleet Medical emblem
 * Alignment: Chaotic Good
 * Portfolio: Emotional Responses, Miracle Cures, Deadpan Snarkers
 * Domains: Good, Healing
 * Allies: Kirk, Spock
 * Along with the Goddess of Mechanics, worked to turn Tony Stark back into a man. Stark is now occasionally seen at the clinic, awkwardly trying to make up for that heroic effort.
 * Was extremely reluctant to accept his portfolio at first -- dammit, Jim, he's a doctor, not a God!

Vegeta, God of Pride vegeta_majinsaga_8987.jpg

 * Theme Song: Hell's bells, Super Saiyan
 * Greater God
 * Symbol: His Saiyan battle armor.
 * Alignment: The whole neutral spectrum, depending on the story arc.

 * Allies: Son Goku, Although it's more of a semi-friendly rivalry than a fully fledged alliance.
 * Enemies: Anyone who threatens his home and family, or mocks his ancesetry, will face a VERY pissed off Vegeta - and unlike his rival, he has -no- objections to outright killing said person.
 * Is often seen training in the Hall of Combat's gravity chamber (Usually set to astonishingly high gravity levels), that is, when he's not fighting the other combatants there.
 * Has been known to make machines experience fear.

Stuart Smalley, God of Self-Esteem (Sen. Al Franken, D-MN)

 * Demigod
 * Symbol: A mirror
 * Alignment: Lawful Good (enough, smart enough, and dog gone it, people worship Him!)
 * Portfolio: Losers, Butt Monkeys, Unfavourites, Dogged Nice Guys
 * Domains: Good, Healing
 * Would normally be in opposition to Uncle Ruckus, God of Self-Hate, but the two Gods get along just fine.
 * A natural ally of Jed Bartlet.

Kefka Palazzo, God of Madness and Hate (The Mad Mage)

 * Lesser God (pending Greater Godhood due to hostile takeover of 'magic' thrones)DissidiaKefkaArtwork_8358.jpg
 * Symbol: A cracked theater mask with clown makeup
 * Theme Music: "Dancing Mad"
 * Alignment: Chaotic Evil
 * Portfolio: Amusing Japanese Translations, Evil Laughs, Demented Laughs, Monster Clowns, Irredeemable Evil, Power-Induced Crazy, Wings
 * Domains: Chaos, Destruction, Hatred, Evil, Madness, Spite, Magic
 * Opposed by: Flonne, Leonidas
 * Allies: has a love-hate relationship with the Red Lanterns
 * Has recently been followed by Flonne, Goddess of Love Freaks, who is certain she can open his eyes to friendship and happiness. Kefka is not amused, commenting that her constant preaching "sounds like the pages of a self-help book."
 * The next person in line for the seat of "Madness" was Luca Blight, who narrowly missed out because his greatest crime was "just" genocide. Kefka beat him by zap-frying an entire planet.
 * The Joker would like to remind everyone that he did the Mad Clown with evil laughter first. That's why he's part of the Main House. However, he does think Kefka's "Light of Judgment" skit is utterly hilarious. He once tried to his own variation, but it wasn't quite as successful.
 * The next in line for the seat of "Hate" was Bonecrusher, who hated the rest of the Pantheon too much to be an effective deity. Bonecrusher is now Kefka's war chariot. Bonecrusher hates being a taxi, but he'd hate not having an excuse to destroy everything in his path even more. He also hates having to work for both Kefka and Suiseiseki and Souseiseki; his schedule gets confusing.
 * Hates being at the beck and call of Lord Chaos, especially since it means having to work alongside Sephiroth on occasion, whom he considers to be a "mama's boy". Then again, Kefka HATE-HATE-HATE-HATE-HATE-HATE-HATE-HATE-HATE-HATES a lot of things.

The Janitor, God of Fear (Dr. Jan Itor)

 * Greater God
 * Symbol: A mop

 * Domains: Darkness, Suffering, Love, Hope
 * Followers: Marona (Phantom Brave), Ned Flanders (The Simpsons)
 * Allies: The Blue Lanterns, The Puella Magi
 * Very tired. Swaps stories with Fate, the Goddess of Lightning, on occasion.
 * Most of the Puella Magi and Himei are on quite friendly terms. She has a profound respect of Madoka and Homura for their endurance and is known to be Homura's other best friend since accending.
 * Tzeentch considers Himei's ascension to the Seat of Hope to be a victory over Nurgle, even though he had absolutely nothing to do with it. Probably.
 * One of the incredibly rare few to manage to earn some semblence of trust from, the true personality of Lucy. Considering what they've both been through, it's somewhat understandable.

Shadow the Hedgehog, God of Angst (Fake Hedgehog, Faux Ultimate Life Form)

 * Lesser God
 * Symbol: A silhouette of his head
 * Alignment: Chaotic Neutral
 * Portfolio: Evil Twins, Anything Darker and Edgier, Emo, Dead Little Sisters, Speedsters, Those With Expansion Pack Pasts
 * Domains: Darkness, Chaos, Alacrity, Suffering
 * Allies: Drizzt Do'Urden
 * Ascended after His death in Sonic Adventure 2, and rather dislikes the copies of Himself being put into progressively worse games. Keeps control of His Wangst by teleporting to the earthly realm and unleashing it as a time-distorting field, which is enough keep Him in the Pantheon proper.
 * Zuko has been seen hanging out with Him, trying to outmatch His angst. He's stopped since he got over his daddy issues, much to the relief of the other Gods.
 * His angst possibly stems from a chronic inability to find that DAMN fourth Chaos Emerald.

Shana, Goddess of Tsundere (The Flame-Haired, Hot-Eyed Hunter; Yukari Hirai)

 * Intermediate Goddess
 * Symbol: Nietono no Shana
 * Alignment: Neutral Good

Kanzaki (Hidan no Aria).
 * Allies: Rin Tohsaka
 * A holy trinity of Shana avatars have been discovered in the mortal realm. They consist of Louise, Nagi and Taiga.
 * Wanted to be goddess of fire. When asked about how Shigekuni Yamamoto-Genryusai got the position instead of Her, she replied "Urusai! Urusai! Urusai!"
 * "It's not like I actually care about my followers. The Pantheon just needs a representative for tsundere, that's all!"
 * Doesn't like Nena Trinity or Shannon, since they break the fine mold created by her mortal priestess, Rie Kugimiya.
 * She also doesn't particularly care for Mithra all that much either, for the same reasons that she doesn't like Nena Trinity and Shannon. Though she didn't say that in front of Asura, of course. Even his temper is shorter than hers, after all.
 * Hasn't really decided what to do with Asuka Langley Sohryu yet, whom she cares about but is somewhat afraid of at the same time. Of course, she admits to neither of these facts.

Uncle Ruckus, God of Self-Hate

 * Lesser God
 * Symbol: Anything with Ronald Reagan's face on it
 * Alignment: True Neutral
 * Portfolio: Mighty Whitey Worshippers, Uncomfortable Racial Humor, Straw Traitors
 * Domains: Anger
 * Opposed by: Samuel L. Jackson
 * Is grateful to have been cast out of his mortal shell to appear as he always wanted... as a handsome Caucasian dude. Does not recognize Samuel L. Jackson as a True God.
 * Even as a White God, Uncle Ruckus has maintained his N-Word Privileges, which has made several other gods rather uncomfortable.

Gwynplaine, God of Sadistic Smiles (L'Homme qui rit)

 * Intermediate God
 * Symbol: A big smile
 * Alignment: Neutral Good
 * Portfolio: Smiling Like a Crazy Person, Shaming the Mob, Getting With Blind Chicks
 * Domains: Sadness, Happiness, Nobility, Laughter
 * Followers: Jack Torrance (The Shining), Zim (Invader Zim), Papa Lazarou (The League of Gentlemen)
 * A king made him a clown. A queen made him a lord. But before that, at least one God made him a man.
 * As an overdeity, the Joker follows no one, but acknowledges that were it not for Gwynplaine, he would not be near so happy as he is.

Megatron, God of Megalomania (NBE-01, Emperor Of Destruction, The Slag-Maker, Galvatron)

 * Domains: Mechanus, Change, Dinosaurs, Evil, Tyranny, Trickery
 * Opposed by: Starscream, Scorponok
 * Is the rogue son of Primus of the Technology pantheon, and nemesis of Optimus Prime of the same & War pantheons.
 * Being a Transformer, he has many forms besides the usual two, and switched between sets of them - sometimes he can become a gun, sometimes a tank, sometimes a dinosaur, sometimes a helicopter. Theologists are unsure why he doesn't keep all of them as alternate forms at once, but the current theory is that he fears the kibble that would cause.
 * Holds a sort of bewildered scorn for wearers of Powered Armor and pilots of Humongous Mecha. The hated humans shouldn't be deluding themselves with these toys, imagining that they make them into real Mecha, but they are pleasant to crush, yessss...
 * Took an opportunity to humiliate Starscream by ruthlessly overpowering a mecha pilot that the traitor was having so much trouble with. Then Optimus stepped in and made it into a proper fight, with sides, if only for a few hours.
 * Refuses to comment on whether he slips Starscream the meat.

Sae Kashiwagi, Goddess of Crocodile Tears

 * Quasideity
 * Symbol: A Peach Girl manga with Momo's face scribbled out
 * Alignment: Lawful Evil
 * Portfolio: Fake Tears, Playing The Victim Card, Snobby Bullies, Love Triangles
 * Domains: Spite, Temptation
 * Opposed by: Kenshiro
 * Faked her way to the Emotion seat by convincing the Gods that she had been struck by a car for no good reason. Shortly after she took her throne, she kicked a rival worshipper in the shin for getting a grass stain on her shirt. The victim promptly purchased a new one for her.
 * This method never works on Kenshiro. Last time she tried it on him, she almost got hit with Hokuto Zan Kai Ken.

Naruto Uzumaki, God of Outraged Optimism (Number One Hyperactive Knuckleheaded Ninja, Rokudaime Hokage, The Orange Hokage)
"Garrod: Tiffa, if I get to become Naruto's prophet, I'll believe in God!

 * Determined to someday return Sasuke Uchiha to his rightful place as God of Emo. Sometimes sits at the feet of Kamina and begs to "try out" the Lagann. Successfully utilizing all his chakra, he can defeat Goku in an eating contest. Just barely.
 * His wish came true. Sasuke came to the Pantheon. But... he's not too happy with how he came back.
 * The only god on the Tropes Pantheon to solicit followers himself. He suggests you believe it.
 * Gets on well with Nanoha due to their similar views on making friends and what happens when they're threatened. The Pantheon fears the day when a mutual friend is attacked.
 * Recently has begun hanging out with Axel Almer, after a fight that literally went on for days until they both realized that neither one of them was going to admit defeat. Because of their similar attitudes, Axel is one of the few older people that Naruto addresses with the utmost respect.
 * Garrod Ran is his representative in the Gundam multiverse; as to how he got the job, this happened:


 * Naruto appears out of nowhere*

Naruto: Sure thing, believe it!

Garrod: Tiffa, I believe in God!"

 * Allies: Schwarz Bruder
 * Worthy Opponents: Kamina, Ryoma Nagare, Guy Shishioh, Klein Sandmann
 * For fun, spars with Kamina of the House of War. At least, they're probably sparring. The sheer hot-blooded manliness emanating from the sparring ground is so incredibly powerful that no gods other than the ones already in there are brave enough to check it out.
 * A vocal subset of their worshipers insist that that's not quite what's going on. The clergy officially frowns on such brazen deityshipping. However, some can't help but wonder.
 * Once descended into mortal form in order to face Guy Shishioh, God of Courage in combat, ended in a Draw because of Toho Fuhai's interference
 * Said to have fathered Kallen. Nobody knows who her (badass) mother is.

 * Is probably an amnesiac princess from an Atlantis-like civilization. The least probable part is the "amnesiac" thing, it is also entirely likely that she got distracted by something and simply forgot.

 * "I'm tired, Sam. I'm tired of this job, this life. This weight on my shoulders, man, I'm tired of it."
 * They were once assured by Himei that it would all get better... Eventually. After finding out more about her, they didn't find this comforting.
 * WALL-E tried to take this position once, but the universe conspired against him. Still, things did end happily for him, what with a spot in the House of Love and all...

 * Domains: War, Leadership, Emotion, Discipline
 * Followers: Rei Hino, Holland, Robert Gomez, Jamil Neate
 * He who slaps spineless wimps and turns them into MEN OF DESTINY. One swing from his powerful right hand is enough to make a whole crowd of people get a hold of themselves. It even WORKS for someone with extreme Knight Templar tendencies like Shigekuni Yamamoto Genryuusai.
 * His slap was so powerful, that it turned Shinji into a badass, at least for a short time before Haruhi hit the Reset Button.
 * Kamina is often seen visiting out of respect for his Old Master

 * Recently took one half of the Mad Love position, along with her precious Yukki.

 * Former prophet of Signum, Goddess of Graceful Battle. Was to be made a prophet in the House of Technology, but since she seems to value her 'humanly' emotions more, she was placed here.
 * When Signum was terribly wounded and depowered by Cypha of Huckebein; Lamia shows an unusual anger and swore to avenge Signum by hunting down Cypha.
 * Is a good friend with Spider Woman, as they both share the fate of being sucker-punched in the most unfortunate moment by their respective upstart, luck-based villains. They both often share opinions about it, but since Lamia is able to shrug her 'shame' off better, she finds herself encouraging Jessica more to get over her problem.
 * With some current 'events', she found herself 'taking care' of EDI, as well as getting visits by Joker, who checks up on her. Lamia seems impressed at his piloting ability and wonders what would happen if Joker becomes a Humongous Mecha pilot...

 * Allies: Excellen Browning, Lamia Loveless, Yukari Yakumo
 * Her opposite is Chiyo Mihama, who remains unbroken no matter what. However, they're perfectly civil with each other (Setsuko is not jealous of her. Really.)
 * She just comes in, but her powers is said to be deadly and a bit too dangerous if left in check. Yukari has agreed to keep her power in check time to time (if she ever wakes up...)
 * At that time Masaki Andoh got lost here, Setsuko freaked out since he reminded her of the one constantly breaking her.
 * Her ascension is said to have occurred sometime around Super Robot Wars Z, which also somehow played a part in elevating the status of most of the cast of Gundam SEED Destiny (except for Djibril, who had no involvement missed the chance by being ignorant that there is one.)
 * Occasionally hangs out with Shiji Ikari, although The Status Quo usually gets Haruhi to hit the Reset Button before anything can ever come of it.

Grumpy Bear, God of Melancholy

 * Lesser God
 * Symbol: A raincloud
 * Alignment: True Neutral
 * Portfolio: Sadness and Cynicism, Pessimism
 * Domains: Air, Repose, Storm, Water
 * Followers: Eeyore (Winnie the Pooh), Grouchy Smurf (The Smurfs), Oscar the Grouch (Sesame Street)
 * Opposed by: Yotsuba
 * Grumpy often sits in a corner and broods, but doesn't always let it get to him, because he believes sadness is a part of life. Seeing Yotsuba cry due to something done by her adoptive father makes him...a little less grumpy (he's never seen smiling).
 * If Grumpy Bear doesn't see the glass as half-empty, that simply means Excellen hasn't taken a drink from it yet.

Strong Bad, God of Arrogance

 * Is currently making a bid for the Throne of Heavy Metal...but given his backup band, he's going to need all the help he can possibly get...
 * Due to his very unphotographic memory, Many of his explots range from mild exaggerations, to semi-falsehoods, to Blatant Lies. He also believes that he should be included in the House of Villainy and the House of Love instead. Generally makes a nuisance of himself when he visits other pantheon households, and has been subsequently banned from several of them. He still visits anyway. The only reason they put up with him is that he's one of the best at checking the Pantheon's email.
 * Rumour also has it that he has a little of Haruhi's reality-warping powers, but he's sick of receiving all the emails about that.

Strong Sad, God of Gloom

 * Lesser God

 * Followed Todd until he realized that vengeance would get him nowhere.
 * Really, really hates being told that he looks like a girl, and shoots a Death Glare at anybody who makes that mistake.
 * After Sasuke's deification, Mikagami became his antithesis. He's not amused with his revenge prioritization and thinks despite his 'Genius Prodigy' status, Sasuke is a complete idiot who's dooming himself instead of accomplishing anything.

 * Domains: Anger, Courage, Integrity

 * Unlike the other Gods, the Prisoner chooses to keep his own counsel for the most part. Eternally suspicious, he believes his ascension and surroundings to be part of an elaborate scheme on part of his charming-but-sinister captors to get him to reveal his closely-guarded secrets. Unfortunately, at this point no one - not even he - can determine what's going on about that any more.
 * Some speculate that, before his ascension, the Prisoner was a secret agent by name of John Drake. The Prisoner, for his own reasons, chooses not to confirm or deny this.
 * Resents any attempt to address him as 'Number Six'. The Prisoner is not a number - he is a free man.
 * The Prisoner will not make any deals with you. He has resigned. He will not be pushed, filed, stamped, indexed, briefed, debriefed or numbered. His life is his own.

Garfield, God of Sloth

 * Symbol: His teddy bear, Pooky
 * Alignment: Chaotic Neutral when he's awake
 * Portfolio: Big Eaters, Heavy Sleepers, Kicking Odie, Talking Animals That Don't Actually Talk
 * Domains: Sloth, Animal
 * It's a miracle Garfield ever gets anything done, what with being an anthropomorphic cat and only being awake for a single hour on any given day. Most of his handiwork involves mailing cute things to third-world countries, and doing so again and again whenever they get sent back to him...postage due.

 * Even as a God, Rodney still gets made fun of on a regular basis, and is usually made a "guest of honor" or emcee at the semi-monthly celestial roasts, as he considers himself a great target for jokes at his expense.
 * Rumor has it that as the staff was preparing the hearse at his funeral, his wife walked by and said,


 * No respect, I tell ya'.

 * Domains: Darkness, Emotion, Love
 * Allies: Midna, Setsuko Ohara, Tokugawa Ieyasu
 * Enemies: Mildred Avalon
 * The first thing she did after ascending was APOLOGIZING for all of the breaks that Setsuko suffered... even if she didn't do it. "Everything is Ichi's fault..."
 * At least had the gall to call out Mildred, saying that her light is a lie.
 * As of now, calmly waits for her dear husband Azai Nagamasa to join her in the Pantheon. The rest of the Gods do their best to search for him, because sweet heavens know what would befall the Pantheon in any event she snaps.
 * Was once the plaything of her evil brother, but when she was deified, many good Gods made sure that she was freed from her brother's clutches. It still didn't stop her from apologizing for the atrocities that her brother ordered her to commit.
 * Currently, she wanders the Pantheon as something of a blank slate, wanting a friend to hug... with her giant demon claws. She may have found what she is looking for in either Lord Happy (Ieyasu) or Lord Grumpy (Mitsunari).

 * Followers: Tomo Takino (Azumanga Daioh), Floe (Simoun), Niea (NieA 7)
 * She has the ability to piss everybody off in the Pantheon, but is still loved by the most powerful gods on account of her extreme cuteness. It's still a guess though what will happen once Miu decides to steal their pudding.

Victor Frankenstein, God of Emotional Instability

 * A God Am I
 * Symbol: The face of his monster

Sasuke Uchiha, God of Revenge That Surpasses Any Basic Reasoning.

 * Lesser God

 * Alignment: Neutral Evil
 * Portfolio: Being an avenger, the rest doesn't matter, Complete Monster in making, Face Heel Turn, Ninja, Base Breaker, Teen Genius, being a big dick to everyone, Abandoning anyone that isn't of use to his goal of revenge. With Great Power Comes Great Insanity, THE POWER OF HATRED!!
 * Domains: REVENGE, Emotion, War
 * Opposed by: Naruto Uzumaki (Although this is more or less because Naruto wants to save him, and Sasuke doesn't want to be saved), Mikagami Tokiya, Steve Rogers, Most of Gods in the House of Family, Jin Kisaragi (Even Assholes Have Restrictions), Scorpion (Even Vengeance-Seeking Has Standards), and especially Asura (who considers Sasuke unworthy of carrying the torch of revenge because he believes the ninja's mind is too weak to handle his rage).
 * Allies: Gilgamesh, Ch'rell the Utrom Shredder
 * Sasuke is pretty much deaf to anything not related to 'revenge of the Uchihas'. Even Naruto is appalled and now wonders if he can be still called friend (he hasn't stopped trying, much to Sasuke's irritation). Mikagami was also pretty much disgusted with his antics and thinks he's an idiot. Steve Rogers is also appalled at him, thinking that he'll never be an Avenger with that kind of mindset. To hammer it home, the House of Family (at least the Good Gods over there) condemns him for being hung up in revenge and in the process making his brother's sacrifice useless inhis attempt to make people recognize it.
 * On the other hand, Gilgamesh likes his lifestyle. Because one must first think about one's self before others', no?
 * Lots of Gods claims to hear the music Crawling In My Skin everytime they come near Sasuke's temple. Sasuke denys this, but so far no-one believes him.
 * Rumor has it that Sasuke has approached the Theater Pantheon to commission a show called VENGEANCE: The Musical.
 * Sasuke actually has a modicum of respect for Shinji Ikari, seeing the latter as a victim much like himself who, after enduring constant humiliation and suffering at the hands of his entire world, got his revenge on them all. He's not fully aware of the actual circumstances, and any attempts to praise Shinji on his vengeance are always met with... an unpleasant response.
 * Has considered that he's probably crazy. He doesn't really care.
 * Recently it was revealed that he has a nickname: Dr Snakes. So far no full reaction has come from calling him this, but he has been developing a twitch.

Al Bundy, God of Failure

 * Lesser God
 * Symbol: An ugly orange sofa positioned in front of a television.
 * Alignment: True Neutral
 * Portfolio: Washed-up Cynucs, representation of Laser-Guided Karma for Jerk Jocks.
 * Domain(s): Failure, Frustration, Misery, Dreams (Thwarted)
 * Was initially elated to learn that he was ascending to Godhood, thinking it a long-deserved reward for a lifetime of thwarted ambition and failure. He also relished the chance to get away from his Dysfunctional Family, but in order for him to maintain his character so as to remain worthy of his position, they came to live with him.
 * Currently runs a woman's shoe store at the foot of the steps leading to the Pantheon houses. Despite there being relatively few of them that visit the Pantheon, it never fails to be routinely visited by obese females. Al suspects that the other gods in the Pantheon arrange this as a joke, but is too unmotivated to try and do anything about it.

Parsee Mizuhashi, The Green-Eyed Monster

 * Lesser Goddess
 * Symbol: a green eye.
 * Alignment: Chaotic Neutral to Evil
 * Portfolio: Jealousy, Princesses, aggressive insanity, using clones of self to fight, awesome scarves, ludicrously hard bosses, bridge guardians, Tsundere
 * Domains: Jealousy, tsundereness
 * Allies: Laarfleeze, aka the Orange Lantern. They still both want to kill one another and take everything the other has, but marginally less so than with everyone else out of an unclear mix of kindred spirits and starscreaming.
 * Followers (they're all also jealous that Parsee got a seat in the Pantheon): Tsubaki Yayoi
 * Parsee is jealous of everyone in the Pantheon. Every. Single. One. She's jealous of powerful Gods for being powerful, she's jealous of weak Gods for not having much responsibilities, she's jealous of Butt Monkey Hong Meiling because some people pity her. And she is more than excited to spread the joy of jealousy around the Pantheon.
 * Parsee may be a Minor Goddess, but her influence within the Pantheon is ludicrously high. In the seat of Gods, tensions and jealousies may have devastating consequences. Parsee possesses the ability to shape the balance of power in the Pantheon almost on a whim. Rumor has it that not even The Judge of Paradise, Shikieiki Yamaxanadu, to whom nearly all Gods must eventually respond, is immune to her psychic wrath.

Natasha, Goddess of Hatred and Lies (The Unreliable, the Self-Loathing Deciever)

 * Lesser Goddess
 * Symbol: A red K.

 * Domains: Hatred, Insanity, Deceit, Chaos, Meaningless Symbolism.
 * Allies: Nick, Matthias, and Smithnjones.
 * Followers: The Trapper-Spider, the Wordsmith, and the Mute Musician.
 * Natasha's view of the world is so clouded and distorted she sees room for nothing but loathing. She inwardly displays hatred towards every living being she encounters, and yet, externally, shows no emotion. Her accounts of any event are convulsed and surreal, and cannot be taken at face value. Additionally, she seems to have an obsession with the color red.

 * Lesser God
 * Symbol: His crest - "All is one under Heaven"
 * Alignment: Lawful Neutral

 * Opposed by: Tokugawa Ieyasu, Date Masamune, Shadow the Hedgehog
 * Allies: Toyotomi Hideyoshi, Sasuke Uchiha, Gilgamesh
 * Rose to the place due to showing strength by at one point Curb Stomping Date Masamune in combat. Of course, the reason why he's so powerful is due to his hatred of that IEYASUUUUU!!!!
 * Considers that Shadow has fallen hard in terms of Angsting, so instead of being friends, they became rivals or sorts.
 * Isn't entirely happy with Oichi following him around (or her new nickname for him), but chooses to ignore her in favor of his Revenge.
 * As Hideyoshi rose from the grave, Mitsunari was overjoyed and once again swore fealty. However, he still wants to make Ieyasu pay for the griefs he suffered for years in Hideyoshi's absence.

Alice, Goddess of Childhood Innocence and Cruelty

 * Normal human soul empowered by demonic magic, now Lesser Goddess
 * Symbol: Two dolls, one red, one black
 * Alignment: Chaotic Neutral
 * Portfolio: Kids Are Cruel, Sweet Girls Who Aren't What They Seem, Lovable Sorceresses, The Dark Side of Wonderland, Slightly Confused People, Blissful Ignorance of One's Origins, Love For Adoptive Parents.
 * Allies: Belial and Nebiros. For a couple of demon lords, they sure love the tyke.
 * She scares a lot of the kids in the Pantheon, even though Belial and Nebiros brought her there with the exact purpose of finding her a good friend she could relate to without going Die For Me! with them. However, she gets along very well with Peter Pan, given he is one of the few who could conceivably grant her wish of having an eternal playmate. Her two demonic guardians are her only real family and deeply care for her, and she returns that love.
 * She is a parallel or future version of the another Alice, and is good friends with her, though both feel creeped out by each other at times. Given the Alice that lives with Belial and Nebiros is an insanely powerful sorceress capable of summoning dark armies with a command, this is very comprehensible.
 * Both Belial and Nebiros are looking for possible friends for Alice. Given her massive magical potential and inability to comperehend pain or death, least of all her own, they are still reviewing candidates...
 * Some have posited the theory that combat with Nanoha might bear fruit...
 * As of late, Alice has also been seen in playdates with Hansel and Gretel over in the House of Family. Even top-ranking gods know it's better to avoid them. Or else.

Shizuo Heiwajima, God of the Hair-Trigger Temper (Shizu-chan, The GARtender)

 * Lesser God by the paperwork, but nearer to Greater God in terms of physical power.
 * Symbol: His trademark bartender suit; alternately, a thrown vending machine.
 * Alignment: Chaotic Good / Chaotic Neutral
 * Portfolio: Hair Trigger Tempers, Unstoppable Rage, Berserkers, One-Men Armies, Strongest Men of Their Worlds, Those Who Come Back Stronger Every Time, Super Strength, Implacable Men, Memetic Badasses, Low-key Reactions to Extensive Injuries
 * Domain: Rage, Violence, Revenge, Self-Hatred
 * Allies: Kratos, Bruce Banner, Asura.
 * Enemies: Pretty much all villainous Manipulative and Magnificent Bastards, but especially Izaya Orihara.
 * Upon finding out that Izaya was in the Panthon, Shizuo went on a Roaring Rampage of Revenge and Ascended to hunt him down. How did he ascend? "I just did."
 * Gets on rather well with deities who are straightforward with him. He'll still beat the crap out of anybody who comes looking for a fight, but if they're blunt and honest about it, he won't be angry.
 * For this reason, when dealing with him, Batman and Lelouch drop the crap and are frank with him, since they're Genre Savvy enough to know that screwing with his head is a pretty big Berserk Button.
 * Frequently heads over to the Food Pantheon for milk.
 * It should be noted that Shizuo is not known for starting fights. Finishing them, on the other hand....
 * Has remarked that Lelouch pisses him off for some reason, but hasn't quite been able to figure it out. Lelouch, in turn, simply does what he can at every opportunity to not piss off Shizuo, and frequently provides information leading to the whereabouts of Izaya Orihara. As a result, the two have a something of a platonic love-hate relationship.
 * All attempts to actually kill him thus far have failed, and the only lasting result has been becoming even more powerful than before. When various deities have asked about that, Shizuo simply replies, "Well, Shinra says - actually, who gives a damn what he says?! I COME BACK STRONGER EVERY TIME!!!!"

Tomoko Nozama, Goddess of Nightmare Fuel Station Attendant and Perky Goth

 * Lesser Goddess
 * Symbol: A Super Deformed version of her with a Battle Aura
 * Alignment: Neutral Good
 * Domain: Creepy Girls, Sixth Sense, Goths
 * Portfolio: Battle Aura, Nightmare Fetishist, Nightmare Fuel Station Attendant, Perky Goth
 * Allies: Gentaro Kisaragi, Yuki Jojima, JK, Miu Kazashiro, Shun Daimonji
 * Tomoko ascended into this seat by dowsing it with a white snake skin and a straw doll in hand. She was also surrounded by a black Battle Aura so powerful that neither Ness or Lucas could use PK Flash to illuminate the area.
 * Whenever she's in the Food Pantheon, she'll be dumping natto into everyone's food before touching their face. Then she'll disappear without a trace.
 * Her seat is surrounded by insects ranging from butterflies to praying mantis and different arrangements of cicadas. Some might even hear the cicadas cry as she passes by...but not in any relation to that other cicadas crying thing.
 * She was once caught deleting all the photos for the Academy's yearbook because, as she put it, one photo of her showed her bow crooked.
