Trope Pantheons/War

War

Some deities ascend to the Pantheon through their sheer power and mastery in combat. After all, Gods are supposed to be powerful. Whenever there is war, or there is an invasion, these beings are called into action and lays down sheer ass-kicking to those who dare endanger the Pantheon. These are the beings whose combat abilities have reached godlike levels and thus take their seat amongst the Pantheon.

The realm of War is a varied landscape, alternating between city and forest and tunnel and ruin and arena. Basically, if you can fight in it, on it, under it, or around it, it will be there. Any sparring between the gods tends to take place here, with surroundings chosen by mutual agreement (though most aren't all that picky). Sparring between the gods also tends to take place at the nearby House of Combat.

The place is always being constantly destroyed and rebuilt. So far, the House of Commerce has made a huge fortune off contracts to repair the damage caused by the constant battles. Some have questioned what, precisely, this section of the Pantheon is beneficial to. The traditional response is "absolutely nothing".

Sun Tzu, God of The Art of War
 * Overdeity
 * Symbol: An copy of his work
 * Alignment: Lawful Neutral
 * Portfolio: War strategies, doing whatever is needed to win, taking his vocation very seriously
 * Domains: War, Strategy, Planning, Pragmatism
 * Followers: Every military officer who has ever wanted to succeed on the field of battle.
 * Ever since his death, the author of the definitive manual for war and strategy ascended to become Overdeity of the House of War. He is not so much a House Leader as he is the advisor towards all other in the house, as all acknowledge, regardless of any prejudices they may have, that he has codified the essentials of how to attain victory for all time for any army that wishes to be victorious.

Mars, Maiden of Battles
 * Greater Goddess
 * Symbol: A red astrological sign of Mars
 * Alignment: Neutral Good
 * Portfolio: The Three Five Faces Of Eve, Fate, Stars, Necessity, Inscrutable Plans, Koans, War, The Thousand Correct Actions of the Upright Soldier, Intelligent Strategy, the Many Shades of Conflict
 * Domains: Balance, Destiny, Destruction, Fate, Good, Oracle, Patience, Protection, Planning, War
 * Allies: The Unconquered Sun, Luna, the other Maidens
 * Followers: The Sidereal Exalted, particularly the Chosen of Battles
 * It is the role of Mars to determine how all conflicts, great and small, will play out. Many in this House recognize her as their leader--as for the rest, she's obliged to knock a few heads about when she wants something done. Don't let the term "Maiden" fool you; she's more than up to the task.
 * One of the Duumvirate of War, alongside Kratos. They take turns taking charge based on the situation, with Mars covering Tactical and Defensive warfare. Do not mistake this for a harmonious relationship, however; Mars cordially despises Kratos, and would much prefer his style of warfare to have no divine backing at all.

Kratos, God of War (Ghost of Sparta)
 * Greater God
 * Symbol: The Blades of Chaos
 * Alignment: Chaotic Evil (oh, so Chaotic)
 * Portfolio: Physical Gods, Badasses, One Man Armies, Heroic Sociopaths, Sinister Hairlessness, Papa Wolves, Deicide, Vengeance
 * Domains: Chaos, Destruction, Suffering, War,
 * Followers: "Thunder God" Cid Orlandeau (Final Fantasy Tactics)
 * Has inevitably clashed with that pretty boy Dante, both frequently destroying entire countries in a completely awesome way. They have both agreed to limit their conflicts to constant one-upmanship.
 * He won his title from Kratos Aurion. He enjoys the increase to HP and INT.
 * Has an extremely short temper and a really good memory for grudges. The Gods of Prophecy stay as far away from him as metaphysically possible, and for VERY good reason, he has a bad habit of screwing destiny.
 * One of the Duumvirate of War, alongside Mars. They take turns taking charge, with Kratos covering offensive war, and all forms of berserker and mindless rage-based combat. Don't assume this means they get along, though; Kratos hates Mars and everything she stands for, and would utterly destroy her given half a chance.
 * Despite his nature,
 * Newcomer Asura despises him him with a passion despite their similarities. Kratos pays no particular attention to him, but is still wary of Asura's rage, a line which he would apparently never cross.

Master Chief, God of Super Soldiers (Master Chief Petty Officer SPARTAN-117; the Chief, The Demon)
 * Greater God
 * Symbol: A MJOLNIR Mark VI Helmet.
 * Alignment: Lawful Good
 * Portfolio: Powered Armor, Badass, More Dakka, Immune to Bullets, Super Soldier, Deflector Shields, Deadpan Snarker (at times).
 * Domains: War, Time And Space.
 * Followers: Stormtroopers (Star Wars), Jake "Nomad" Dunn (Crysis), Commander Shepard, the Enclave, The Combine, The COG Soldiers, The M.I. The Adeptus Astartes are not followers of Master Chief (their loyalty is to the God-Emperor alone), but generally hold him in high regard.
 * OK with Kratos, unless you mention the console war...
 * His current relationship with the goddess Samus Aran is unknown. She has not returned any of his calls.

The Doom Marine, The One-Man Army (The Marine, Flynn Taggert, A Berserker-Packing Man-And-A-Half, The Boy Packin' 50 Pounds of Heavenly Joy, John Stalvern Doom Guy)
 * Intermediate Deity
 * Symbol: His own two hands
 * Alignment: Chaotic Good (Hey, he hates demons and likes fluffy bunnies)
 * Portfolio: So Bad It's Good, Badasses, Space Marines, One-Man Army, Badass Normals, Fisticuffs Nineties Anti-Hero
 * Domains: War, Violence, Death
 * Followers: The overwhelming majority of FPS heroes
 * Is in fact a 12.0 on a one to ten scale of badness. He's dynamite, even...and cooking with gas!
 * The only guy bold enough to think he can take on both Khorne and Gig without the use of the BFG-9000. He'll let his uber-manly fists do the talking for him. Rip and tear!
 * He does have a little trouble following a conversation, remembering what allies are for, or keeping hold of a plot. The Doom Marine is most effective if you can drop him into the heart of enemy territory, point him at a foe, and say, "Kill them dead!"
 * Is concerned for our childrens' future due to all the radioactive waste, which he has fallen in. That can't be good.
 * He is a man! And a half!

Leonidas, GOD! OF! YELLING... er, Battle Cries (King of Sparta, Commander of The 300)
 * Theme Song: "Just Like you Imagined"
 * Intermediate God
 * Symbol: A hoplite's shield
 * Alignment: Chaotic Neutral
 * Portfolio: High Holy SH&! Quotients, Slow Motion Cuts, One Liners, Training From (And Dinner In) Hell, Large Ham
 * Domains: Destruction, Pride, Strength, Madness SPARTA!!!
 * Courageously stood against an army of encroaching demons with just 300 soldiers.
 * After being deified, he made a special contract with Enma Ai to escort him for daily dinner (with his resident Spartans) in Hell.
 * Frequently identifies Dante's father.
 * As of recently, Dovahkin has taken his craft Up to Eleven with a battle cry that can Blow You Away.
 * His abs are scientificly proven to be harder that the armor that Master Chief is wearing. Or at least if you belive the rap battle they once had.
 * He is one of the few people that Kratos has any kind of respect towards, even though just a little. Being the King of Sparta does help a bit.

Noriko Takaya, Goddess of Attack Calls


 * Lesser Goddess
 * Symbol: Gunbuster in "arms-folded" pose
 * Alignment: Lawful Good
 * Portfolio: Calling Your Attacks in Gratuitous English, Humongous Mecha, Gainaxing, Hard Work And Guts, Akogare, Distant Finales, Buster Shield, Homing Laser, Buster Missiles, Buster Beam, Super Inazuma Kick, Double Buster Collider, Delivering One Crowning Moment of Awesome After Another, Being An Ascended Fangirl, Screaming Warrior, The Gainastance, Those Who Go Down In History As Heroes Of Legend

Guy Shishioh, God of Courage (Evoluder, God of Destruction, World's Strongest Cyborg)


 * Intermediate God
 * Symbol: A G Stone.
 * Alignment: Lawful Good
 * Portfolio: Super Robots, Hot-Blooded, Determination, Crowning Moments of Awesome, The Power of Friendship, Reconstructing mecha anime from Darker and Edgier back to good ol' hot blooded show, Big Fragging Knife, Hyper Mode, Hell And Heaven, Goldion Hammer & Crusher, Nobuyuki Hiyama, HIKARI NI NAREEEE!!!, Oath Sworn Through Courage, Screaming Warriors, Technopath
 * Domains: War, Courage, Glory, Oath
 * Allies: Any god of a good alignment who values courage and determination is his ally by default, but even moreso if they are Super Robot pilots. In specific, Noriko, Ryoma and Musashi, and Kamina will always stand by his side. Aside of Super Robot pilots, one of his staunchest allies is Link.
 * Followers: Captain Ahab, Brock Samson, Adell. Squall Leonhart is also a follower of Guy, despite being an aloof stoic.
 * He presides over an ultra-manly area of Valhalla, reserved mainly for killed-in-action Super Robot pilots, who in turn act as manly Valkyries for his brethren. This area was formerly the area where Guy uses the Goldion Crusher, it turns into an awesome realm.
 * Mamoru is Guy's prophet, spreading his oath of courage and amassing several followers, misguided though they may be.
 * Guy's daughter, Subaru, takes advantage of her seat in the Pantheon of Travel to better spread his word amongst Sakura's followers.
 * Formerly shared his position with Kamina, until Kamina was given his own seat. The two remain allies and work closely together.
 * When Guy roars the name of his mecha upon entering the battle, all forces with evil in their hearts weep in terror and inspires those with good hearts to perform ever-greater feats of bravery. Let all wicked souls know this name: GAAAAAAAOOOOOOOOOO!!!! GAAAAAAAAAAAIIIIIII!!!!! GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRR!!!!!!
 * Is considered by some to be the Good Counterpart to Khorne.

Kamina, God of Boasting and Rousing Speeches (Bro, Just Who The Hell Do You Think He Is)
 * Intermediate God
 * Symbol: His sunglasses over a stylized flaming skull.
 * Alignment: Chaotic Good
 * Portfolio: Badass and many associated tropes, Super Robots, Manliness, Sunglasses, Giving boastful speeches, Being Awesome By Virtue Of Being Crazy, Hot Bloodedness, Large Ham,
 * Allies: Simon, Guy, any good-aligned deities, especially those who are manly and pilot giant robots.
 * Domains: Mecha, Speeches, Manliness, Trust
 * Kamina always scheduled time to give a speech to the masses at his chambers about manliness, trust and general badassery when he first ascended, but after the second time the Pantheon got too crowded from the masses clamoring to hear him, so he began holding them elsewhere.
 * While Shinji is prophesied to bring about The End of the World as We Know It, Kamina was prophesied to save everyone from the orange goo dream world by motherfucking dropkicking him because he's just that badass.
 * Simon the Digger was once Kamina's prophet, wandering the world and drilling through the impossible; he ascended as a lesser god in Kamina's service as the patron deity of drills. Simon has learned well from Kamina, and may well surpass his mentor.
 * Kamina is the only being to ever tolerate Leeroy Jenkins, because he does share his philosophy, "Reasoning should just be kicked to the curb!"
 * When the final battle of good and evil comes, Kamina has been pre-appointed by Cosmos to give a speech to get her warriors fired up and ready for the conflict. Reportedly, according to those who overhear him practicing, part of it goes "Don't believe in yourselves. Believe in the Tropers who believe in you!"
 * In addition to the usual, Kamina boasts he's the Trope Namer for Beyond the Impossible, and will show video footage of his battles with Simon to any who need explanation of what he was talking about.
 * Shares a strong friendship with the previous Unlosing Ranger Pirohiko Ichimonji, Who is to Super Hero's as Kamina is to Super Robots. The two met briefly when Pirohiko had a near death experience via Car Accident. The two found that they both share the same life values and also a similar relationship to their younger successors.

Char Aznable, God of Mecha Pilots (The Red Comet, Casval Rem Daikun, Edward Mass, Quattro Bajeena, a CHAR)
 * Lesser God
 * Symbol: Zeon crest on a red field
 * Alignment: True Neutral, leaning towards Neutral Evil
 * Portfolio: Piloting, The Color Red (according to an anonymous source, "da red wuns go fasta"), Real Robots, Masks, Heel Face Revolving Doors, Colony Drops, Evolution, Char Clones, Badass Nicknames, Archetypal Rivals
 * Domains: War, Speed, Space, Liberation
 * Allies: Elzam von Branstein
 * Followers: lots of them. Coop became one purely by accident.
 * Rivals: Amuro Ray, Max Jenius (another of the top contenders for this domain, and possibly a better pilot, but Char won on style)
 * Has created several avatars of himself, such as Zechs Marquise, Harry Ord, Schwarz Bruder, Rau Le Creuset and Graham Aker. This allows him to respond to prayers three times faster than other gods. Elzam von Branstein was formerly an avatar of Char, but ascended in his own right by overriding Char's theme music.
 * His priests wear red robes and mieters with command antennae. This doesn't make them any faster, but bless them, they're trying.

Amuro Ray, God of Real Robot Pilots (The White Devil, White Shooting Star, White Unicorn)
 * Intermediate God
 * Symbol: RX-78-2 Gundam's Head, Fin Funnels, Tem Ray Circuit
 * Alignment: Neutral Good
 * Portfolio: Piloting, Real Robots, Psychic Powers, Demoralizing Enemy Pilots, Super Prototypes, Badass Nicknames, Archetypal Real Robot Pilot, Turning Into Magic Space Dust
 * Domains: War, Empathy, Space, Peace
 * Allies: Kouji Kabuto, Ryouma Nagare, Setsuna F. Seiei
 * Followers: Every UC Gundam pilot, including Kamille Bidan, Judau Ashta, and Uso Ewin.

Ryoma Nagare, God of Super Robot Pilots Brigadier Sir Alistair Gordon Lethbridge-Stewart, God of Heroic Militaries
 * Intermediate God
 * Symbol: A twenty-foot tomahawk, a torn red scarf
 * Alignment: Chaotic Good
 * Portfolio: Super Robots, Combining Mecha, Screaming Attack Names, Hot-bloodedness, Victory Through Sheer Stubbornness, Final Attacks, Demented Attacking, The Complete Obliteration Of The Laws Of Physics
 * Domains: Courage, Martial Arts, Energy Beams, Axes, manly sideburns
 * Allies: All Gods who are in any way involved with Super Robots defer to him. Also, any Gods who represent ideals of Hot-Blooded heroism earn his respect. His fellow Getter pilot Musashi, Guy Shishioh, Kamina and Noriko, in particular, are always there for him and him for them.
 * Followers: A great deal many, but he only respects those who live up to his very strict standards.
 * His place was supposedly reserved for Kouji Kabuto. However, after he was once reduced into the sidekick of Duke Fleed, Ryoma takes his place.
 * Any God who wants to earn Ryoma's respect must be manly, brave and determined. Ryoma does not suffer wishy-washy gods. Any God with an Evil alignment is a target to him.
 * Isn't quite sure what to think of Shiji Ikari. On the one hand, the kid's practically King Wuss in day-to-day life. On the other hand, when push comes to shove, the little dude completely flips his lid, which earns some of Ryoma's grudging respect. The question of where exactly Eva Unit-01 falls between Super Robot and Gigantic Humanoid Abomination also causes some confusion.
 * Quasidiety
 * Symbol: the UNIT crest
 * Alignment: Lawful Neutral
 * Portfolio: Conventional Weaponry, Arbitrary Skepticism, Alien Menaces, Benevolent Bosses
 * Domains: Army, Courage, Nobility
 * Longtime companion of The Doctor of the Time and Space pantheon. Charged with (ineffectually) guarding the temples of the other low-level deities.
 * In an Alternate Universe, General Hammond fills an identical role, except as a Lawful Good Quasidiety with considerably greater competence and less skepticism.

Khorne, God of Killing (Blood God, Lord of Skulls, Lord of Battles)
 * Greater God
 * Symbol: The number 8, his stylised Skull Rune (occasionally bleeding from the eyes and/or surrounded by more skulls)
 * Alignment: Chaotic Evil
 * Portfolio: Letting The Gods Sort Them Out, Apocalypse How, Blood Sport, Kill All Humans, Eldritch Abominations, Badasses, One Man Armies, Berzerkers, Gene-enhanced, daemonically empowered, immortal, demi-god warriors, Giant Battleaxes, Weaponized Chainsaws
 * Domains: Hate, Rage, Blood, Strength, Battle, Martial Honour, War and Killing
 * Allies: Hates Everyone Equally
 * Enemies: Hates Everyone Equally
 * Doesn't care when, where, why, and how. All Khorne cares about is whether the rest of the pantheon has met the minimum number of mortals killed, and he enforces that rule with sheer brute force... as well as his army of bloodthirsty, berserk Space Marines armed with chainsaws of almost every kind. Saw great potential in Omega and promoted him to god of Robotic Psychopaths.

Dalek Sec, God of War Pest Control
 * Greater God
 * Symbol: A rectangle and a circle.
 * Alignment: Lawful Evil/Neutral Good
 * Portfolio: Winning even though he's outnumbered (like, 5,000,000 to 4 1), Time Travel, Turning Good, Half-Human Hybrids, Continuance, Heroic Sacrifice, Speakin' Like a Robot, Burning You Good
 * Domains: Evil, Mechanus, Space, Time, Imagination, Survival, Genetics, Destruction EX-TER-MIN-ATION!
 * Is actually trapped in the War section after breaking out and blowing up anything he could reach in Time and Space.

Lelouch vi Britannia, God of Rebellion (Lelouch Lamperouge, Zero)
 * Lesser God
 * Symbol: The Geass symbol (a stylized "V")
 * Alignment: Impossible to pinpoint.
 * Portfolio: Sister Complexes, Martyr Complexes, Magnificent Bastards, Manipulative Bastard, Chessmasters, Evil Eyes, Mind Control, Planning for every outcome (even ones he couldn't have known of, without his memory), Resistance Leaders, Large Hams, Affably Evil, Byronic Hero.
 * Domains: City, Corruption, Knowledge, Pain, Retribution, Trickery
 * Followers: The Order Of Black Knights.  Kallen Kouzuki, daughter of Domon Kasshu, depending on how badly he's teased her, recently. UFN Chairwoman Kaguya, ruler of half the known world. Probably the reason why his public appearances are heralded by busty Japanese and Chinese girls throwing black rose petals in his path. His little sister, Nunnally, ruler of the OTHER half of the known world.
 * When not plotting ways to overthrow evil empires, Lelouch engages in the game of kings: chess. Few people who have played him have asked for a rematch. He is one of the few who could challenge Light Yagami-one of his greatest nemeses-without using any form of magic.
 * As of this day, Lelouch is taking care of the rebellion of HIS OWN PEOPLE against him. Some say his mortal brother Schneizel is behind this, but Lelouch already suspects Light to be behind Schneizel.
 * He sees Isara Gunther as someone he'd like to protect, as she reminds him of his mortal sister Nunnally Lamperouge. However, Isara is very much abhorred with him. Upon investigation, Lelouch found out that when she was mortal, she was by someone who acted and sounded like him: Emperor Maxmillian. This hardens Lelouch's ambition to topple him, alongside the God he worshipped: Palpatine.
 * There are cults dedicated to an older god who held this post, whose name has been lost, but whose epithets "The Prince of Revolution" and "The Steel General" remain; there are prophecies that he will return to reclaim on his eight-legged horse of steel and diamond one day, to reclaim his position. Only fitting, considering the nature of the position.
 * May or may not have implanted commands into the minds of the Gods - or their followers - that he doesn't get along with. And maybe some that he pretends to get along with.
 * Actually every bit as dangerous without his mind control powers as with. May or may not secretly be a Kamen Rider knockoff, or have the power to summon Giant Mecha with his eyes. Or both.
 * Likes wearing masks. As in, literally. And capes.

Optimus Prime, God of Mecha
 * Demigod
 * Symbol: Autobot crest
 * Alignment: Lawful Good
 * Portfolio: Transformation, Resurrection, Teamwork, Indefatigability
 * Domain: Robotic warfare, Giant transforming robots, freedom, disguise, Foe Tossing Charges.
 * Followers: Varies by incarnation, but includes Peter Cullen & this guy (see #2).
 * "Freedom is the right of all sentient beings" (Optimus 1:1). Seeks universal unity ("Till all are one" (Optimus 3:31)
 * Not very happy about being in the House of War, but he won't disobey an order from Primus, and will never hesitate to fight against tyranny. Has been killed multiple times, but is so guaranteed to get better that he simply hangs out at a bar instead of waiting in the Afterlife.

Imperial Missile Boat, King Hell God Emperor Starfighter of Death
 * Lesser God
 * Symbol: Imperial Insignia
 * Alignment: Galactic Empire/Grand Admiral Thrawn
 * Portfolio: Game Breaker
 * Domains: Right behind a Rebel starfighter ensnared in its tractor beam. Or a renegade Imperial starfighter. Or any starfighter. Or anything else that's airborne for more than ten seconds
 * ...just...the King Hell God Emperor Starfighter of Death. Everyone agrees on this.
 * While the Death Star and Unicron are locked in their endless battle in the skies above the Pantheon's garden, the Imperial Missile Boat circles them, engines roaring, ensuring that no one disturbs them or, indeed, gets too close. Leaves only at the order of Thrawn and for those occasional mandatory tune-ups and refueling. When the Death Star and Unicron part, the Imperial Missile boat has spare time on its landing struts. Mostly, it spends that time carefully hiding who or what, if anything, sits in its cockpit.

Grand Admiral Thrawn, God of Military Geniuses (Mitth'raw'nuorodo)
 * Demideity
 * Symbol: A pair of all-red glowing eyes on a blue background, or the Imperial crest
 * Alignment: Lawful Evil, sometimes leaning Neutral to the rest of the Pantheon. 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
 * Domains: Law, Evil, 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.
 * In a House filled with hot-blooded maniacal melee fighters and epic One-Man Army-on-One-Man Army fights, he's very out of place. But real War, the kind with armies and fleets and a command structure and supply lines and prisoners, requires strategy, and no one does it better than Thrawn. It's rumored that his inclusion is a sop to realistic war, so that its proponents don't have this House relabeled "The House of Fighting".

The Silencer, God of Living Weapons of Mass Destruction (The Captain, Red, Tin Man)
 * Mortal; inert
 * Symbol: A deface WEC insignia
 * Alignment: True Neutral
 * Portfolio: Badass costumes, badasses in general, improbably vast arsenals, exploding explosive explosions, anonymous heroes, last best hopes, super soldiers, bloody-minded vengeance.
 * Domains: Destruction, War, Wrath
 * Never actually became a god, and so isn't technically fallen; though he showed great potential many eons ago (in video game time; i.e. about twelve years back), his church never quite caught on, and so he lies dormant. There are always rumors among his few followers that he may be waking up soon, but since he has been surpassed in most of the categories he was once so impressive in, it is unlikely.

CATS, God of Base Takeovers
 * Intermediate God
 * Symbol: His eyepatch
 * Alignment: Neutral Evil
 * Portfolio: Amusing Translations, Memetic Mutation, Owning of Bases, Setting Up You The Bomb, Intentional Engrish for Funny
 * Domains: Army, Domination, Evil, Tyranny, War
 * Followers: Il Palazzo (Excel Saga)
 * CATS would like to remind the rest of the pantheon that they have no chance to survive and to make their time.
 * After all, all their centers of operation have become his property.
 * Used to be the God of Conquest... until he was hit by Alexander's Ionian Hetairoi, stripping his former title of Conquest and reduced his Godhood level. He still managed to take over one base to retain his place here.

The 501st, Legion of The Gods and Gods of Mooks (Vader's Fist, the Five Hundred And First)
 * Demigod Squadron
 * Symbol: This crest.
 * Alignment: Lawful Neutral
 * Portfolio: Disposable Militaries, Less Than Stellar Accuracy, Strength In Numbers, Guys that Provoke Minimal Empathy
 * Domains: War, Order
 * After seeing the House of Defense resembling a pigsty for the 37th time in a month, Captain America sought a restructuring of the House. Several failed attempts later, Cap decided to seek an already formed and properly unified military force to occupy the mostly-empty House. Darth Vader, seeing a chance for advancement, offered his squadron. From there, the 501st became stationed in most areas of the Pantheon (Although only this House and the gates to the Disgraces have more than a Five-Man Band regularly stationed).
 * While Lord Vader possesses their utmost loyalty, they do defer to Master Dream, Mistress Haruhi, and the Captain himself, if only so their Lordship will never be among The Fallen or Disgraced (the Captain is a favorite, as he hates it when they die and doesn't really punish them outside of non-violent reprimands). Lately, they started training under the Taskmaster and taking orders from Grand Admiral Thrawn, and they've actually started doing very well.
 * Is always dispatched first to any altercations that disrupt the peace, as well as performing the majority of arrests in small cases. They aren't always successful with stronger gods, however. Their armor makes them essentially Immune to Bullets, but who in the Pantheon uses a gun?
 * Half of them are the most elite of stormtroopers, picked from across the Empire. The other half started off as cosplayers with really, really good costumes.
 * Not to be confused with that other 501st.

Yui Ikari, Goddess of Empathic Weapons (Evangelion Unit-01, Oni System, Yui-sama)
 * Greater Goddess
 * Symbol: purple Oni head
 * Theme Song (as Eva Unit-01): The Beast II
 * Alignment: Chaotic Good
 * Portfolio: Mama Bears, Over-The-Top Violence, 12,000 Plates Of Fortified Armor, Possession Of An Infinite Power Source, Eating Her Opponents and Husband, Going Apeshit On Everyone Threatening Her Son, Doing Battles The Messy Way, Becoming A Goddess To Unite Humanity, Becoming A Literal Monument To Mankind
 * Domains: Bloodlust, Collateral Damage, Urban Warfare, Dismemberment, AT Fields, Transforming Lances, Armor-Integrated Restraints
 * Allies: Shinji Ikari. Also regards most of the Good aligned mecha associated gods highly, due to how well Shinji grew up thanks to their influence.
 * Enemies: pretty much everyone who looks at her son the wrong way,  especially  Gendo Ikari. She is also, perhaps ironically, openly hostile against Kaworu Nagisa, particularly since the latter is one of Shinji's precious few allies from his planar origin. Kaworu has yet to remark on his opinion of yui.
 * Currently floating somewhere in interstellar space but some eyewitness accounts have reported her to be dormant due to being Impaled with Extreme Prejudice

Axel Almer, God of Determined Warriors (Ahoseru, Sleeping Prince)
 * Lesser God
 * Symbol: The head of Soulgain (focus on the moustache)
 * Alignment: True Neutral. Formerly Lawful Neutral.
 * Portfolio: Never Giving Up, Not A Fucking Bastard (But still a bastard), Big Damn Heroism, Death Cheating, Conversion From Villain To Hero, Past Amnesia Problems, Red Head
 * Domains: War, Survival, Dedication
 * Allies: Kratos, Guts, Lamia Loveless, Zaraki Kenpachi, Jade Curtiss, Naruto Uzumaki, Robin.
 * Followers: Pegasus Seiya (Saint Seiya), Akihiko Sanada (Persona 3), Einst Alfimi
 * Once he sets his sight on something... practically nothing can stop him. Damages? He regenerates at the face of them.
 * Was about to be titled 'God of Warmongers With Cockroach Tenacities', but since he no longer actively seeks war, his title is degraded. His record, however, remains, causing him to be constantly contacted by Jade Curtiss to help him on war.
 * Likes to spend good times chatting with Zaraki Kenpachi, or fighting each other (Kenpachi likes the idea fighting someone far bigger than his size and regenerates practically endlessly), while letting their Perky Female Minions play around.
 * At one point, he's struck with amnesia, acts silly and starts wooing the girls in the Love Pantheon. He fails horribly, until he's knocked on the head and regains his memories.
 * Has constantly told his follower Seiya that there are limits of being a Determinator, taking it too much can make a dislikable character. Unfortunately for him, Seiya also never gives up in being so stubborn, making things harder for him, but he never gives up in telling him. He does find Seiya's tenacity... useful at times.
 * As of the recent events, even Axel is impressed with Seiya's newly rise of power and considers him one of his best buds.
 * Has started to take an almost fatherly liking towards Naruto and has even considered training him. The Pantheon is split as to whether this would be a good or bad idea.

Jade Curtiss, God of Colonels (Jade Balfour, Jade the Necromancer)
 * Demigod
 * Symbol: Malkuth army symbol
 * Alignment: Lawful Good (Arguably Lawful Neutral, or True Neutral with good tendencies)
 * Portfolio: Badass Colonels, Spear Fighting, Spell-casting, Affectionally Pissing People Off, 'Being Frail Since Birth' * cough* * cough*, Cursed With Great Intellect, ex-Mad Scientist, Magnificent Bastardry, Voice of Takehito Koyasu
 * Domain: War, Science, Magic
 * Followers: Sergei Smirnov (Gundam 00), Colonel Mustang
 * Allies: Axel Almer, Nick Fury
 * Jade is often appointed as the head colonels whenever the Pantheon goes to war. He is fond with Axel as one of his soldiers for having that cockroach tenacity that proves to be useful sometimes. Jade also lands him the role of explaining the results of war, with no apparent reason behind it. "Axel, explain."
 * Keeps check on some Gods that deal in strategies such as Light Yagami and Grand Admiral Thrawn, to see whether they will plan out something horrible.
 * He has seen a lot of sad events with a smile. But he never once budged his smile. His reply? "Oh, not at all. I'm actually crying on the inside, wracked with guilt."
 * Once visited Shigekuni Yamamoto Genryusai's House with other Gods, and while they are feeling the intense heat, Jade stays calm and cool. When they ask why he looks so comfortable, he replies, "Oh, not at all. I'm so hot I could just die."

Millennium, Gods of War Mongering (The Letztes Bataillon)
 * Role Call: The Major, The Doctor, The Captain, First Lieutenant Rip van Winkle, First Lieutenant Zorin Blitz, Warrant Officer Schrodinger and Tubalcain Alhambra.

 * Being so small and having very few survival skills, the Pikmin can easily be killed by alot of things. The most common way for Pikmin to die in the houses is to be stepped on by other gods and goddess. Great care must be taken when you are around Pikmin, or you'll be forced to listen to their plaintive death cries if you accidently step on a few. Pikmin don't have graves.

 * Opposed by: The Computer Is a Cheating Bastard
 * The Commander continues to command countless battles across time and space. This supreme commander commands and conquers in total war often against total annihilation, from the dawn of war to beyond endwar, some say living only for the craft of war.
 * Despite skirmishing throughout the age of empires the Commander is also a force of creation having guided civilizations, and fostered the raise of nations.
 * Despite having more command experience than everyone else on this page combined, the Commander's abilities varies greatly with very little constancy. Sometimes the Commander cansuccessfully hold against more than one third of the War Pantheon while the next day losing space battleships en masse to muggle spearmen.
 * The Commander has never actually been seen anywhere in the Pantheon, but receives and accepts missions from all Houses and Factions by way of Full Motion Video Cutscenes.
 * Thankfully, as long as Plot Armor isn't involved, the Commander can hold the entire universe at bay, provided he has two trees, and a single person with ten minutes to spare. Thrawn is working on cutting it down to five minutes by sending orders via FMV, but progress is slow, and pixelated.

Ursarkar E. Creed, God of Tactical Geniuses
 * Lesser God
 * Symbol: Someone angryly yealling his name
 * Alignment: Neutral Good
 * Portfolio: Tactical Geniuses, Making people yell his name
 * Domains: War, Tactics
 * One day in the pantheon everyone was doing there own thing when some of them heard this weird noise, like a distant rumbling sound. Glancing around, they deduced it was coming from one the larger Gods. Most went back to what they were doing, others walked around the Pantheon trying to find out who or what was making the noise, when suddenly a hundred Baneblades roar out from nowhere, crushed the walls of the War house, and gunned down some of the 501st. How the hell can a hundred tanks sneak into the Pantheon unnoticed? Must have taken some kind of tactical geni-
 * CREEEEEEEEEEEEEEED!
 * Vance Stubbs called, he wants his Baneblades back.

 * Some get into the pantheon through their mastery of military command, and some get in by being a sheer Badass, but Sheryl Nome got in because she hired a Badass Army to get the job done when no one else would.


 * Really, do we need any other justification?
 * Her official artwork from the second movie by itself makes it clear she's a War Goddess, wearing a shredded military uniform against a battlefield covered in fire and planting a flag of victory into the ground.
 * Heroes pray to her for success and survival, and she may show them her favor, especially if they're hot Bishonen fighter jocks. Those favored may hear her singing, if she chooses to sing for them, which will fill The Hero with a Hot-Blooded Unstoppable Rage, providing a huge force multiplier to the pilot's Badass level. Note: Survival and skill power up only extends to the physical pilot, and NOT said pilot's Cool Plane, which may or may not get shot up (or down) in the process of your Crowning Moment of Awesome. Really, you better appreciate getting just that much favor, she does not do this kind of service very often.

 * He possibly amassed the strongest army in the Pantheon, nameless they may be.
 * Is considered to be one person that Gilgamesh would grudgingly call Worthy Opponent.
 * To his father Phillip of Macedon he'll always be Alexander the Pretty Good.

All of this as the Yor theme song was playing!
