Trope Pantheons/Nature

Nature and Elements

Technically not a House, in the sense of everything being under one roof, although there are buildings in it. Visitors stumbling here often ask if this is the Pantheon's Garden. It isn't - they will know the glory of the Garden when they see it - but it's a forgivable mistake.

The House appears to be a vast cross-section of forests, oceans, deserts, mountains, valleys - all kinds of climates are in evidence, inhabited by all manner of plants, wild animals, minor wilderness spirits and a large variety of Mons. For the most part they are pristine with only a few structures to mar the landscape. There are a few oddities, like the plain covered in fire spouts, the one where no light shines, and the clouds that can bear the weight of humans.

The Bestiary is contained within here, to make the place more survivable for visitors.

Captain Planet, God of Nature (Our Hero)
 * Intermediate God
 * Symbol: The Earth
 * Alignment: Lawful Good
 * Portfolio: Elemental Powers Combined, Unsubtle Aesops, Puns, Good Captains
 * Domain: Earth, Fire, Wind, Water, Heart, Purification, Renewal
 * Followers: The Planeteers
 * Opposed by: Kefka, Xykon, Black Mage
 * Can often be seen leading environmental protests in front of the House of Commerce, much to Looten Plunder's chagrin.
 * Constantly cleaning up the ash and smog that wafts off of Hexxus's patch of territory.
 * Hitler can kill him just by hating him enough. Xykon, Kefka and Black Mage would presumably make him explode if they got within a mile of him, and being in the same universe as Bonecrusher would probably cause him to melt into a puddle of primordial slime.
 * Any of the following situations would summon his young followers, who would take what's left of his power, resummon him, and proceed to kick butt (and clean up after, because real heroes don't litter).
 * It is still unknown if he is simply Ted Turner in a costume and body paint. Considering that according to the House of Prophecy, Turner has karate-chopped meteors in the future, there might be some truth to this.

Toph Bei Fong, Goddess of Earth (The Blind Bandit, The Runaway)
 * Intermediate Goddess
 * Symbol: Winged Boar or Badgermole
 * Alignment: Chaotic Good
 * Portfolios: Earth, Cute Bruisers, Disability Superpowers, Snarky Comments, Living Lie Detectors, Stone-Facaded People Whose Hearts Soften Slightly, Bare Feet

 * Followers: Kwame (Captain Planet and the Planeteers) Barbara Gordon/Oracle (Birds of Prey), Mio Sasuga (Super Robot Wars (Masou Kishin)), Shelley Foriner (Tactics Ogre), Lexaeus (Kingdom Hearts)
 * Allies: Aang, Sokka, Molly Hayes
 * Toph is not blind. She is merely physically incapable of seeing anything less awesome than she is.
 * Is on very good terms with Iroh, but the rest of the Gods have forbidden her to get too close to him, for they fear that so much concentrated awesome could put in danger the foundations of the Pantheon.
 * Part of the Blind Trinity: Those who are born blind.

Shigekuni Yamamoto-Genryusai, God of Fire (Old Man Genocide, Captain Dumbledore)
 * Intermediate God
 * Symbol: Ryujin Jakka, his zanpakuto
 * Alignment: Lawful Neutral
 * Portfolios: Fire, Rings of Fire, Old Masters, God Moding
 * Domain: Fire, Law
 * Followers: The Human Torch (Fantastic Four), Pyro (X-Men), Pyro (Team Fortress 2), Wheeler (Captain Planet and the Planeteers), Rubicante (Final Fantasy IV), Natsu (Fairy Tail), Hwang Yang Long (Super Robot Wars (Masou Kishin)), Homura Kagari (Sekirei), Recca Hanabishi (Flame of Recca), Cierra (Riviera: The Promised Land), Fredrica Tenjuin (Psyren), the Fire Nation (Avatar: The Last Airbender), Selye Foriner (Tactics Ogre), Portgaz D. Ace (One Piece), Admiral Akainu, possibly (One Piece), Burn Griffith & Regina Belfrond (Psychic Force), Natsuru (Kämpfer), Axel (Kingdom Hearts), Chandra Nalaar (Magic: The Gathering)
 * Allies: Sol Badguy
 * He has been known to defeat opponents who are said to be as strong as him in just seconds with his current weaponry... and he's only using 30% of his true potential. Woe betide anyone who challenges him when he uses his full power.
 * There is a rumor that his Aura is so great, it has become an entity in itself named Alastor.

Temari, Goddess of Wind (The Ninja Lumberjack)
 * Intermediate Goddess
 * Symbol: A giant paper fan
 * Alignment: Lawful Neutral
 * Portfolio: Ninjas, Razor Wind, Paper Fans Of Doom

 * Allies: Shikamaru, Batman
 * Often visits the House of Love to convene with Mai Shiranui (fellow ninja) and at the Academy to spend tea time with Shizuru (they both love the color purple).
 * Normally has to work with Batman to get Shikamaru to do anything (that is, he tells her what needs to be done, and she gets the lazy bum to do it).
 * Any insinuations that she and Shikamaru are an item will result in outrage... and possibly violence.
 * Doesn't take kindly to those who point out that "that hairstyle looks so much better on Yotsuba..."
 * Expected Masaki Andoh to be her follower, considering his friends already followed the Gods of their respective elements. But he didn't show up.

Aquaman, God of Water
 * Intermediate God
 * Symbol: A harpoon
 * Alignment: Lawful Neutral/Good
 * Portfolio: Communicating with Sea Life, Fast swimmers, Those With Awesome Beards, Arm Cannons, Nature Heroes
 * Domain: Water, Beastmaster, Fury
 * Followers: Nagare Namikawa (Rival Schools), Gi (Captain Planet and the Planeteers), Demyx (Kingdom Hearts), Bubble Man (Mega Man 2), Tytti Noorbuck (Super Robot Wars (Masou Kishin)), Olivia Foriner (Tactics Ogre), Tsuikimi (Sekirei), Carlo Belfrond (Psychic Force), Water Tribes (Avatar: The Last Airbender)
 * Formerly the Patron Saint of Stupid Powers, he Took a Level In Badass and ascended to a higher spot on the pantheon. His former portfolio was passed to Ma-Ti.
 * It is rumored that he is involved in some way with Namor, the King of Atlantis.
 * Is constantly vying for control over the waters of the virtual realms with Davy Jones. It is Aquaman's beneficence that gives rise to enjoyable aquatic levels and provides protection from drowning. His influence has been growing in recent years.

Ma-Ti, God of Heart
 * Demigod
 * Symbol: Heart
 * Alignment: Neutral Good
 * Portfolio: Stupid Powers, Being The "Heart" Of One's Team, Communication With Animals, Surprising competence, Hidden Danger, Idealism turning into cynicism.
 * Domain: Emotion, Love
 * Followers: Will Vandom (WITCH)
 * Inherited Aquaman's former portfolio. Only got included so that the others could summon Captain Planet.
 * Many of the other gods have done much more with much less. But just try telling him that...
 * You shouldn't bring a gun near him. Because he'll shoot you while yelling "SUCK MY BIG FAT FUCKING HEART!!!"
 * Recent events showed him defeating a seemingly invincible sorcerer named Malachite. Ma-Ti won, at cost of being put in a deep sleep... until The Nostalgia Critic can find him a Necromonicon.

Aang, Avatar Of The Elements (Kung-fu Action Jesus, The Avatar)
 * Avatar of the Gods, an incarnation of the soul of the world
 * Symbol: Airbender Tattoos
 * Alignment: Neutral Good
 * Portfolio: Kid Heroes, Unstoppable Rage, Chosen Ones, The Elements
 * Domains: Water, Earth, Fire, Air, Spirit
 * Allies: Katara, Sokka, Toph,, Captain Planet
 * Aang often joins Captain Planet in making sure that pollution is confined. Or just because he's the only one who laughs at Captain Planet's puns.

Erik Lensherr, God of Magnetism and Evolution (Master of Magnetism, Magneto, Max Eisenhardt, Xorn )
 * Intermediate God
 * Symbol: His helmet
 * Alignment: North-South
 * Portfolio: Metal, Magnetism, Evolution, Fantastic Racism both suffered and dealt, Gazing Into The Abyss, Heel Face Revolving Doors, Excruciatingly Horrifying Upbringings, Compelling Pain, Those with Extremely Unfortunate Clones.
 * Domain: Metal, Electromagnetism, Mutant
 * Opposed By: Wolverine
 * Magneto's temple is a sphere of metal that used to be an asteroid, floating gently less than twenty feet over a grassy plain.
 * Magneto was a Jewish child in Nazi Germany during the Holocaust, before his powers developed. No one else made it. Therefore he has one of the best Freudian Excuses imaginable; although he tries to fight the good fight and he is not generally a completely evil being, he can't make himself believe that peaceful coexistence is really possible.
 * Another effect of this is that his hatred of Nazis is legendary; Swarm is forced to de-emphasize his Naziness in favor of his beeness, and the Red Skull has to execute some very complicated plans just to leave his temple without, for instance, having all the metals in his body pulled out, formed into a small nail, and driven into his forehead.
 * They don't rouse his ire quite as quickly as Nazis or neoNazis do, but Fantastic Racists of all stripes and creeds are his Berserk Button. On occasions he descends to Earth to deal with some in the most horrifyingly awesome way imaginable.
 * He is not in any kind of competition with Toph. He would like to emphasize that. They have not antagonized each other, and he's better with children than with most humans. Instead, they irregularly trade stories and impress each other. She still hasn't learned to fly, he can't do anything with rocks.
 * No problem is too great for the Master of Magnetism!
 * If there are any enemies dare raid his House, his response is usually: "Enemies! Welcome... TO DIE!

Kurama, God of Plants (Youko Kurama, Shuichi Minamino)
 * Lesser God
 * Symbol: A rose
 * Alignment: Chaotic Good
 * Portfolio: Plants, Red Haired Pretty Boys, Batman Gambits, Kitsune, Rose Lovers
 * Domain: Bestial, Plant, Planning, Trickery
 * Followers: Poison Ivy (Batman), Swamp Thing, Marluxia (Kingdom Hearts), Kusano (Sekirei), Anegakoji Yoritsuna (Sengoku Basara)
 * Chance The Gardener can often be seen tending to Kurama's temple, sometimes with the aid of Swarm.

Sora, God of Light (Keyblade Bearer, Roxas)
 * Greater God
 * Symbol: A keyblade
 * Alignment: Lawful Good
 * Portfolio: Messiahs, Believers in the Power of Friendship, Heroes Who Want Redheads, Power Trios, Mind Hives
 * Domain: Balance, Celestia, Courage, Destiny, Good, Radiance
 * Allies: Kairi, King Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck, Goofy, Legion
 * Followers: The Warriors of Light, Crono, Colette Brunel, Jellal
 * Responsible for uniting the Sons of Square-Enix and Daughters of Disney.
 * Not to be confused with Sora Naegino, but he probably wouldn't turn her down in she asked to be one of his friends.
 * The jury is still out on whether Roxas, Xion, and Ventus get to share the seat with him, since they are varying degrees of split personalities and other people living in his head. Its a literal jury; Sora and the gang want all of them to share the title (as one body, it would quadruple their divine stipend), and the Main House, not wanting to pay four stipends to one god, took it to court.

Zorc Necrophades, God of Darkness (The Dark One, Thief King Bakura, Yami Bakura)
 * Greater God
 * Symbol: The Millennium Ring
 * Alignment: Chaotic Evil
 * Portfolio: Darkness, Freudian Appendages, Sealed Evils In Cans, Superpowered Evil Sides
 * Domain: Chaos, Corruption, Darkness, Destruction, Evil, Tyranny
 * Followers: Prometheus (Mega Man ZX), The Heartless (Kingdom Hearts), Setsuna (Psychic Force), Rumia (Touhou)
 * He may technically be subservient to Sauron, the original-flavor Dark Lord, but does Sauron have his own sitcom? Or a giant dragon head for a willy?
 * After recent development, Zorc's evil is in doubt. Given what Zorc is, this may make him no less of a threat.

Cecil Harvey, Molder of Light And Darkness (The Split Soul)
 * Intermediate God
 * Symbol: The flag of Baron
 * Alignment: Lawful Good
 * Portfolio: Atoners, Controlling Darkness And Light Together, Paladins, Dark Knights, Good Costume Switches, White Haired Bishonen, literal Mirror Bosses
 * Domains: Light, Darkness, Heroism, Knighthood
 * Allies: Rosa Farrell, Rydia, Kain Highwind, Ky Kiske, Leon Magnus
 * His temple serves as a bridge that connects between the Temple of Sora and Zorc Necrophades.
 * Took over the temple after the permission of Judas as he transformed into Leon Magnus. Cecil kept believing that Leon himself is battling his own demons.
 * And there was a REALLY HUGE rejoicing by Rosa and Kain when he entered the Pantheon.

Shikamaru Nara, God of Shadows
 * Intermediate God
 * Symbol: A deer-shaped cloud
 * Alignment: Neutral Good
 * Portfolio: Power Over Shadows, Plans That Get What You Want, Having An Enormous IQ Before You Can Drink
 * Domain: Shadows, Plans, Sloth
 * Allies: Batman, Temari, Uzumaki Naruto, Ayase Yue
 * Ascended through stopping a plot by Light and Pandemonium Warden by merely making a few changes to the scrolls of Square Enix for the annual ritual of Sept'Em'Ber Up'Date, effectively locking PW from shape-shifting into Mr. Rodgers or any highly-powerful deity, and reducing his, uh, stamina. Now has a seat in the Council of Shadows, despite not wanting anything else to do with the Pantheons.
 * Constantly says he and Temari are Just Friends. Even with her agreement on this, not many gods think this is true (It doesn't help matters when their actions resemble his sensei's).
 * Never really wants to do any real work, and never puts any real stipulations on his followers. It's less troublesome that way.
 * Can be found hanging out with Yue (house of Knowledge) in the House of Philosophy... as neither of them are connected to it so they can both avoid troublesome work there.

Smoker, God of Smoke
 * Intermediate God
 * Alignment: Lawful Good
 * Symbol: A Cloud of Smoke
 * Portfolio: Inspector Javert, Smoking Is Cool
 * Domains: Smoke
 * Followers: Smoke, the Smoker

Tarzan, God of Nature Heroes (Lord Greystoke, The White Ape)
 * Quasideity
 * Symbol: The sound of his victory scream
 * Alignment: Neutral Good with Chaotic leanings
 * Portfolio: Nature Heroes, Naturally Superior Characters of Pale Complexion, Darkest Africa, Rescue Romances, Swinging On Vines
 * Domain: Animal, Nature, Survival, Travel
 * Also the patron saint of Mighty Whitey, but with that trope moving into the Disgraced Pantheon, he'd prefer you not bring it up.

Veralidaine Sarrasri, Goddess of Animals (Daine)
 * Intermediate Goddess
 * Symbol: A silver Badger's Claw
 * Alignment: Neutral Good
 * Portfolio: Animals, Archery, Heroic Bastards, Voluntary Shapeshifting, Talking to Animals, Kickass Women
 * Domain: Animal, Nature, Magic
 * Unlike the majority of the other gods, started as a Demigoddess. Says that both of her parents are also gods, but unaffiliated with the Pantheon.
 * In the form of a giant bird, once killed an opponent by voiding her bowels into his face. He inhaled, the silly clunch. Don't chase her when she's out for vengeance.
 * Can shapeshift into any nonsentient animal, and speaks with them. Was briefly excited on finding that Ma-Ti could similarly speak to animals, but his downbeat attitude got to her.
 * Is good friends with Belldandy, who also comes from another Pantheon.

Davy Jones, Avatar of the Sea
 * Quasideity
 * Symbol: A pipe organ
 * Alignment: Neutral Evil
 * Portfolio: Rain Battles, Cool Boats, Flying Dutchman, Knights Of Cerebus, Naughty Tentacles
 * Domain: Watery Death, Ocean, Animal, Water
 * Followers: Namor the Submariner (The Avengers)
 * As an ocean-based incarnation of The Grim Reaper, he's more under the orders of Death of The Endless rather than Aquaman, but since Aquaman's the God of Water, he has to cooperate with him and make sure not to step out of line. And of course, there HAS to be an evil god of the sea.
 * Since Altair cannot swim, anyone who dies in water is recruited by Davy Jones.
 * Davy Jones and Aquaman are in constant competition for control over the waters of the virtual realms. It is thanks to the spite of Davy Jones that so many video game characters may be claimed so easily by the waves despite their great power and skill. His influence in this area has been waning recently, much to his displeasure.

Amaterasu, Goddess of the Sun and the Moon (Omikami, Okami, Ammy, Shiranui, Origin of All That is Good and Mother to Us All, Snowy, The White Demon of Death)
 * Greater Goddess
 * Symbol: A paintbrush
 * Alignment: Neutral Good
 * Portfolio: The Time of Myths, Clapping of Believers, Gotterdammerung, Physical Gods, Kings Of All Cosmos, Combined Energy Attacks, Big Badass Wolves, Gods MIA, Friends To All Living Things
 * Domains: Sun, Healing, Animal, Purification, Life
 * Followers: Yukiko Amagi, Princess Celestia and Princess Luna
 * She's a goddess representing the concept of gods. Try not to think about it.
 * Chikane and Himeko maintain Ammy's temple whenever she's away...and usually when she's there, what with her being a dog and all.

Fate Testarossa-Harlaown, Goddess of Lightning
 * Lesser Goddess
 * Symbol: Bardiche in pendant form
 * Alignment: Lawful Good
 * Portfolio: Lightning, Clones, Action Moms, Speedy Fighters, Scythe Wielders, Dark Magical Girls, Replacement Goldfish
 * Domain: Air, Family, Storm
 * Followers: Megavolt (Darkwing Duck), Blanka (Street Fighter), Ky Kiske (Guilty Gear), Saki Tsuzura (Arcana Heart), Pikachu (Pokémon) Cole McGrath (In Famous), Raidy (Lightning Warrior Raidy), Hibari and Hibiki (Sekirei), Sonia/Chris Ryan & Might (Psychic Force), Larxene (Kingdom Hearts)
 * Allies: Nanoha, Negi Springfield
 * Shares a temple with the Goddess of Friendship, complete with a giant bed. Shizuru and Lillet observe with much interest, but both Fate and Nanoha aren't interested in anyone else in the pantheon and don't talk about their personal lives.
 * If not 'stuffing' with Nanoha, she spars with the Goddess of Graceful Battle, Signum. Rumors say that the latter asked the former to take that place, but she refused because that... seems to be keeping her apart from Nanoha often...
 * When Negi Springfield mastered the Khilipl Astrape technique and then used several incalculably-powerful variations of it in a tournament fight against Jack Rakan, some of the Main House offered to give him this position. However, Negi and Fate are very good friends, and Negi didn't want to see her lose her power (plus he still feels he hasn't earned it despite evidence), so he turned the offer down.
 * It has been brought to several of the newly ascended's attention recently that some man named Enel used to hold this position, but for some reason all stories involving his being such have been covered up. The Question is, of course, currently investigating the matter.

Thor, God of Thunder (Thor Odinson, Donald Blake)
 * Greater God
 * Symbol: His hammer Mjolnir
 * Alignment: Lawful Good
 * Portfolio: Thunder, Hammertimes, Physical Godhood, The Avengers, Being Strong Not excluding being Intelligent, Boisterous Bruisers, (sometimes) awesome facial hair
 * Domain: Thunder, Godhood, Heroism, Epic Hamminess, Hammers
 * Allies: Fate Testarossa Harlown, Negi Springfield, Steve Rogers, Vita, Hercules
 * By extension, Thor is Fate's senpai and is very much respected by her (and her followers too). Thor honors Fate's prowess and dedication, and thus condemns Precia Testarossa for her abuses to Fate.
 * Formerly the position was prepared for Raiden, but Thor got the position after at one point Raiden executes what is equal to saying this to his to-be followers: "Don't worry. I'll bravely watch you DIE from the sidelines!"
 * He later agreed to face Raiden in Mortal Kombat to see if he was really worthy of his position. While Raiden put up a decent fight, a blow from Thor's hammer obliterated the entire lower half of his body. Whatever was left of Raiden was hurled into the sun.
 * Though once he learned one genuine problem Raiden has been suffering lately, Thor felt pity on him, so he brought what was left of Raiden to the House of Life and Death to revive him and sent him to The Fallen afterwards to await redemption.
 * It is customary to quote "My God has a hammer!" to identify Thor (especially to differentiate him and Fate).
 * Currently had an uneasy tension with Iron Man after his actions of building a nefarious clone of him. However, as time passed and Tony repents, Thor also lets down and try to fix their relationship, which should be finalized around April...
 * Is VERY MUCH respected by all heroic gods in the pantheon, and has allies in pretty much every house on it. He also hangs out a lot at the House Of War looking for epic fights that will be made songs of. He's also always willing to serve as an enforcer for the House Of Justice, as his good friend Steve Rogers is there.
 * Heed his words, evildoers! If thou dost wish to challenge the Odinson, thou will face the divine power of MIGHTY MJOLNIR! NEVER SHALL THE GOD OF THUNDER RELENT!!!

Cygnus Hyoga, God of Ice
 * Lesser God
 * Symbol: The Cygnus Constellation
 * Alignment: Lawful Good
 * Portfolio: Ice Power, Severe Mother Complex, Quietness, Making/Breaking/Being a Human Popsicle
 * Domains: Ice, War, Nature, Loyalty, Mother
 * Followers: Toshiro Hitsugaya (Bleach), Admiral Aokiji (One Piece), Iceman (X-Men), Kula Diamond (The King of Fighters), Keith Evans (Psychic Force), Vexen (Kingdom Hearts), Freudia Neuwahl (Rosenkreuzstilette)
 * Worshipped for his ice mastery and development. But not his mother complex.
 * The former deity who was once in this place was turned into a Human Popsicle in a 'praying stance' by Hyoga and put into The Fallen. You know who it is? Sub-Zero.
 * Though as of late, Sub-Zero has risen once more. Fortunately, there was no ill-wills between the two Gods.
 * After several events, he changed his mind about Jin Kisaragi and has offered him a chance to take over if he wanted. Jin denies, saying that he CAN be an asshole after turning good.

Hexxus, God of Pollution
 * Theme Song: "Toxic Love"
 * Intermediate God
 * Symbol: A pitch-black skull
 * Alignment: Chaotic Evil
 * Portfolio: Those That Pollute For The Hell Of It, Showstealers, Showstoppers, Subversion of Heavy-Handed Morals, Sealed Evil in a Can, (Almost) Getting Crap Past the Radar
 * Domains: Blackwater, Blightbringer, Corruption, Death, Greed, Pestilence
 * Followers: Truax, Captain Pollution (as well as the rest of Captain Planet's Rogues Gallery, minus Looten Plunder), the Gaiark Ministers
 * Allies: Looten Plunder, Dr. Evil, Draco Malfoy, Majin Buu, Utsuho Reiuji
 * Enemies: The rest of the House of Nature (especially Captain Planet and Ma-Ti), Tinkerbell, Jack the Farmer, Goku
 * Despite their hatred of him, Hexxus cares little for his housemates--as he himself says, "flowers and trees depress and, frankly, bore [him]." His current goal is to capitalize on his long-awaited divine ascension by joining the main Gods of Evil.
 * It is not a secret Hexxus takes a very special interest in polluting, an interest of an almost sexual nature. Slaneesh actually tried to hit on him (then again, Slaneesh hits on Anything That Moves), but Hexxus refused, saying that Slaneesh might be foul, but not foul enough for his taste.

The Lorax, God of Green Aesops
 * Lesser God
 * Symbol: A Truffula tree
 * Alignment: Neutral Good
 * Portfolio: Nature Spirits, Those That Are Ignored Even Though They're Right, Somewhat Bittersweet Endings
 * Domains: Knowledge, Nature, Renewal
 * Followers: Hei Bai (Avatar: The Last Airbender), Crysta (Fern Gully), Earth Maiden Arjuna
 * Allies: Captain Planet, Aang, Tinkerbell, WALL-E and EVE
 * Enemies: Looten Plunder and Hoggish Greedly, Azula, Hexxus
 * Serves as the caretaker of the House of Nature and the Pantheon's garden.
 * In honor of how eloquently he speaks for the trees, The Lorax was elected as a member of the House of Theater.
 * Has a rather... odd relationship with Exdeath, with whom he shares the House of Nature. Neither of them like the other very much, but they tolerate each other out of political necessity, as although they disagree very strongly on most policies, they agree on arboreal rights, which is enough to form an alliance... for now.

Fluttershy, Friend to All Living Things
 * Intermediate Goddess
 * Symbol: her Cutie Mark, three butterflies.
 * Alignment: Neutral Good
 * Portfolio: being nice to everything alive (but shying away from other ponies), healing animals and speaking to them, taming giant, powerful creatures, being cute and loving cute critters, extreme shyness and sensitivity, being too pure to corrupt, apologizing a lot, winning battles without lifting a hoof against the foe, control of animals, winged creatures scared of heights, cute cowardice... or is it?, danger of snapping (with fearsome results), THE Stare
 * Domains: Animals, Nature, Kindness, Cuteness. Occasionally: Insanity, Obsession
 * Allies: Twilight Sparkle, Pinkie Pie, Rainbow Dash, Rarity, Applejack
 * Followers: Bronies
 * Being the near-opposite to Elmyra, she was chosen by the Gods to keep the Enemy to All Living Things under control without having to cast her out into the Disgraces or to have her brutally slaughtered, and to heal the animals Elmyra grievously injures. They felt that Fluttershy's occasional snaps can actually come in handy if it comes to fighting fire with fire.
 * So far Fluttershy has had some stern talks with Elmyra, though nothing seems to much effect. Since they usually culminated in "Uhm... I mean... if that's... uh... ok with you", it's no big surprize. She says Elmyra's attempts to befriend critters are worthy of praise, but she needs to hold back her love a little bit. Some Gods snickered at the irony in that.
 * The Gods anxiously wait for the incoming showdown between the Friend and the Enemy to All Living Things, since it will not be long before Fluttershy grasps the full impact of Elmyra on the environment, which will undoubtedly send her off into the deep end. Needless to say, most have their money on Fluttershy.
 * That showdown never got to happen, thanks to a trial that started as the result of Elmyra's most infamous crime, amplified by the havoc she wrecked. It was a trial that got her sent to the disgraces in the most brutal, ironic, and karmic way imaginable.
 * She had a bit of an episode the first time she stepped into The Bestiary (without a tour guide, thinking she didn't need one), and the animals there didn't automatically flock to her. After setting traps for the animals, Steve Irwin, the groundskeeper, kept getting into her traps, other traps were foiled and turned against her by Jerry, Sharptooth and Godzilla were taking turns chasing Fluttershy away (large reptiles being one of the only animals she fears), Zubat kept attacking her, and The Rabbit of Caerbannog turned out not to be the cute little bunny he seemed. But after she flipped out and loudly demanded that they all love her, even Godzilla was scared.
 * Because of this, whenever Godzilla gets too out of hand the Pantheon now sends for Fluttershy, the only one who can stop his rampage. She does this by flying into his face while he's destroying buildings and giving him a firm scolding, but reassuring him that he's "not a bad radioactive dinosaur, he just made a bad decision".

Jack the Farmer, God of Agriculture
 * Demigod
 * Symbol: A golden farming hoe
 * Alignment: Neutral Good
 * Portfolio: Farm Boys, Internal Monologuing, Non-Magical Tools, Children, Friendship
 * Domains: Animal, Community, Earth, Purification
 * It is believed that Jack has taken on many forms and many names (among them Pete, Mark, Raguna, and the rather unwieldy "Innocent Life") but his ultimate goal has been the same in every incarnation: making the lands fertile so that the mortals of the towns he visits can enjoy plentiful harvests for up to three years at a time. In recent iterations, he is able to go on even longer than that.
 * With the opening of the House of Food, he also takes care of the Gods' culinary needs.

Mowgli, God of Wild Children
 * Lesser God
 * Symbol: A wolf
 * Alignment: Neutral Good
 * Portfolio: Raised by Wolves, Disneyfied Characters, Separated From Birth Parents, Running Around Naked
 * Domains: Animal, Nature
 * Followers: San (Princess Mononoke), Jan (Juken Sentai Gekiranger), Gau (Final Fantasy VI)
 * Allies: Tarzan
 * Relates best with Tarzan, not only in the sense that both were raised in the jungle, but also in that both don't want to bring up their less than politically correct literary origins.

Nakoruru, Spiritual Protector of Nature
 * Intermediate Goddess
 * Symbol: Her pet falcon Mamahaha, holding her red ribbon
 * Alignment: Neutral Good
 * Portfolio: Ascension Into Nature Spirit, Speed That Exceeds Ninjas, Cuteness, Yamato Nadeshiko, Control Over Animals, Talking To Animals, Super-Powered Evil Side
 * Domains: Nature, Light, Spirits
 * Allies: Captain Planet, Mikuru Asahina
 * Followers: Nagi (Kannagi)
 * She manages to ascend here due to a contract she made when she was only a mortal. Captain Planet regards her highly as even though she's not as powerful as he is, at least she didn't share his weakness.
 * When she takes mortal form, she is said to outspeed even Ryu Hayabusa. She still loses against The Flash, though.

Oswald Chesterfield Cobblepot, God of Birds and Well-dressed Villains (The Penguin)
 * Lesser God
 * Symbol: A penguin holding an umbrella.
 * Alignment: Neutral Evil
 * Portfolio: Wicked Cultured, Gentleman Thief, Everything's Better with Penguins.
 * Domains: Evil, Crime, Birds, Umbrellas.
 * Allies: Joker, Catwoman, Riddler, Christopher Walken.
 * Opposed by: Batman
 * His birds serve as a courier service between the various houses.

The Catachan Devil, Death World Incarnate
 * Quasideity
 * Symbol: Open mouth with many, many teeth
 * Alignment: Chaotic Hungry
 * Portfolio: Death World, Everything Trying to Kill You, Killer Rabbit, Mordor
 * Domains: Hunger, Strength, Death, Suffering
 * The Imperium deities don't want to be anywhere near the Catachan Devil, but appreciate its value.
 * One stretch of the House of Nature that visitors seldom see is the domain of the Catachan Devil, and with good reason. While the Catachan Devil's domain is as bountiful and full of life as any other domain, it is also full of death, and the Chtorr, Orks, Catachan Jungle Fighters, and Krogan inhabiting the region are the only intelligent forms of life to be seen. Everything else is killing something, about to be killed, or dead. Unspeakably lethal plants, animals, fungi, bacteria, and unclasified lifeforms abound here, and to enter the region is certain death for most. The Catachan Devil is merely the apex predator, and as such has taken it upon itself to defend the region from the other realms on the pantheon level.
 * The Catachan Devil and its realm are typically not spoken of by the other members of the House--the good deities find the very existence of the Catachan Devil and what it represents to be an uncomfortable aspect of nature, and the evil deities find the Catachan Devil far too unreliable and hungry to deal with on an official level. It is only by a joint effort of the rest of the House that the the Death World realm and its overlord is kept in check.
 * Well liked by the Houses of War and Weapons, however, as the Catachan Devil's realm is an excellent place to train and test their troops in live, dangerous combat: even the 501st admits that against the Death World, their odds are even at best.
 * Fears only one man: Steve Irwin.

Utsuho Reiuji, Goddess of Nuclear Fusion and by extension, Stars (Chernobyl-tan, Bahamuko, Okuu)
 * Intermediate Deity
 * Symbol: her control rod
 * Alignment: Lawful Evil (but recently tended towards Chaotic Stupid)
 * Portfolio: I Love Nuclear Power, Arm Cannon, Badass Cape, The Ditz, Evil Eye, Gravity Sucks, With Great Power Comes Great Insanity, Ravens and Crows
 * Domains: Anything regarding Nuclear Energy: Fission, Fusion etc. Being nuclear balls of molten matter, stars fall under her authority. In fact, when provoked, she can fire (miniature) stars at her opponent.
 * Opponents: Reimu Hakurei, Marisa Kirisame
 * Allies: Cirno, Hexxus
 * John Sheridan, God of Nukes, is technically under her authority.
 * She herself is ironically under the authority of the non-deified Satori Komeiji. Which leads one to wonder why Flandre isn't under the authority of Sakuya Izayoi and/or Remilia Scarlet.
 * Because Flandre seems to refuse their authority now - perhaps even their deification would not be enough to control the Ax Crazy Badass Adorable Extraordinaire.
 * Allied mainly with Cirno (due to similar mentality) and Hexxus (who loves any kind of pollution including radioactive waste).
 * Not a very smart person. Almost nobody in the Pantheon takes her seriously, but as with Flandre Scarlet, they avoid pissing her off due to her immense destructive powers.
 * It's almost common knowledge she's "plotting" (as far as a birdbrain such as herself can plot) to take over the Pantheon, but, once again, no one believes she has the brains for such a task. However the Gods watch over her closely, aware of how powerful a weapon she could become was she to ally herself to (read: become the pet of) a serious villain, such as The Emperor Palpatine.
 * It is speculated that Sauron is using her to spy on members of the Pantheon.

Namazu, Avatar of Taisui Xingjun, God of Natural Catastrophes (Unnamed Giant Catfish, Primeus)
 * Lesser Deity. Or is he?
 * Symbol: himself.
 * Alignment: Chaotic Evil
 * Profile: All Just a Dream?, Ground Pound, Rock Steady, Fan Nickname
 * Domains: Natural Catastrophes (mainly earthquakes)
 * Enemies: Hong Meiling
 * It was not just China's imagination. He is real, and he is a God of the Pantheon. Meiling's dream was not a mere dream, but a vision of things to come.
 * That means if Namazu ever decides to destroy the Pantheon, the Goddess of Butt Monkeys just might be the only one to be able to strike back. Or maybe someone else will just blow him up in one hit. Who knows.

Batty Koda, God of Bats and Victim of Science
 * Lesser Deity
 * Symbol: that thing attached to his head
 * Alignment: Neutral Good

 * Domains: living symbol of animal abuse For Science!. Also, rap.
 * Enemies: Hexxus, Dr. Wily, Looten Plunder, any other Mad Scientists and people who pollute.
 * Has never recovered from his traumatizing experience in the biology lab. Still tends to bump into trees, walls, Transformers and others while flying around.
 * Will gladly sing to everyone and anyone about how he's been brain fried, electrified, infected and injectified, vivisectified and fed pesticides.
 * Does not get along well with most of the rest of the pantheon, as he has... issues with anyone matching the Homo sapiens sapiens phenotype.

 * There is no shortage of hostile trees in the narrative worlds governed by the Pantheon. As the only one to successfully destroy the world, Exdeath is their god. Their lord and master. Fear him.
 * It is from Nothing that all has come, and it is to Nothing all shall return. --Book of Exdeath 3:16

 * Alignment: Neutral
 * Portfolio: Badass, Large and In Charge, Implacable Man and Putting on the Reich
 * Domains; Poison, Imprisonment
 * Spends most of his time either in the house of food eating poison, or in the bathroom excreting poison.
 * Red Skull wanted Magellan on his side do to his use of poison gas and dressing like an SS officer, instead he got a faceful of Xyklon B

Medusa, Goddess of Petrification
 * Demigoddess
 * Symbol: Her hair of snakes
 * Alignment: Chaotic Neutral
 * Portfolio: Those unjustly punished by the gods, Karmic Death, Taken for Granite
 * Domains: Petrification
 * Allies Jadis
 * Enemies: Simon Belmont, the other Medusa
 * Applied for this position in the hopes that as a goddess, she'd be able to break the snakehead curse she was hit with a while back by Athena for fornicating in a temple. Unfortunately, she forgot that the petrification effect is a product of the snakehead thing, so by taking the position she made it permanent. She takes her frustration out on the people around her.

Rumble, God of Earthquakes

 * Symbol:The Decepticon insignia
 * Alignment: Neutral Evil
 * Portfolio: Adaptation Dye Job, Robot War, Dub Name Change
 * Domains: Earthquakes, Robots, Disguise
 * Allies: Megatron, Unicron

 * May actually be his twin brother Frenzy. Nobody can be quite sure.

Mark Mardon God of Weather (Weather Wizard)
 * Lesser God
 * Symbol: His Weather Wand
 * Alignment: Lawful Evil
 * Portfolio: Weather Control Machine, Go-Karting with Bowser, Magic Feather
 * Domains: Staffs, Weather
 * Although he seems his staff to control the weather, he actually does it subconsciously. The staff just makes concentration easier and looks really neat.

Johnny Blaze, God/Keeper of Flames Of Hell (Ghost Rider, Spirit of Vengeance, Clifford Smith)
 * Intermediate God
 * Symbol: His FlamingSkull for head
 * Alignment: True Neutral
 * Portfolio: Hellfire manipulation, Badass Biker, Penance Stare, Chains Used For Whipping, Flaming Skulls, Actually Well-Meaning Hellish-Looking Guy
 * Domains: Fire, Death, Sins.
 * Allies: Shigekuni Yamamoto Genryuusai, Virgo Shaka, Enma Ai
 * The 'other' fire counterpart of Yamamoto. While Yamamoto's fire is based on spiritual power, Johnny gets his straight out from Hell itself.
 * Also doubles as the Spirit of Vengeance. However, unlike Sweeney Todd who picks on everyone else for HIS revenge, the Ghost Rider only exacts vengeance to the wicked.
 * He recently looks forward to trade some blows with the likes of Ryu, Chun-Li, Dante, Zero, etc. While making some people like Wesker, Firebrand, Nemesis, etc to look into his eyes.

Reptile, God of Corrosive Acid
 * Lesser God
 * Symbol: Snake head with Overly Long Tongue
 * Alignment: True Neutral
 * Portfolio: Anti-Villain, Constantly Getting Screwed By His Superiors, Invisibility, Acid Spit, Evil reptiles (sort of), Servtitude and Loyalty, Eating Men, Overly Long Tongue
 * Domains: Nature, Beast, Loyalty
 * Allies: Litchi Faye-Ling, Charlotte the Desert Witch, Mami Tomoe
 * Opposes: Bowser, Terumi Yuuki
 * The 'slightly better' counterpart of Bowser. Upon deification, Reptile hoped that his deification means that there will be a way to revive his Saurian race..
 * Surprisingly however, he was seen amongst the GUAG instead of the GUAE. Perhaps he had an epiphany and learning his lesson that Evil will NEVER fulfill their promises for him?
 * Found a good companionship with Litchi Faye-Ling, who cared so much about him despite his freaky appearance and abhorrent nature, but most importantly, never screws him off. Reptile thinks she's the best master he's ever had for awhile.
 * Is thoroughly annoyed with a certain owl named Cedric who constantly called him "pOIsonous". If it wasn't for his respect on Litchi who kept preventing him doing so, Reptile would've made a snack out of Cedric.
 * Recently has been seen 'playing around' with Charlotte the Dessert Witch. Especially in terms of eating. This made Reptile more tolerant to cheeses... aside of human flesh (which incidentally, Charlotte doesn't mind too, though when they get too far, both Litchi and Mami reprimand them)

Swampert, God of Swamps and Marshes
 * Lesser God
 * Symbol: A patch of swamp suffering from the effects of an earthquake.
 * Allignment: Neutral Good
 * Portfolio: Dishing Out Dirt, Making a Splash, Lightning Bruiser, Elemental Powers.
 * Domains: Beast, Nature, Water, Earth, Strength.
 * Just as capable of causing floods as earthquakes, not one to be trifled with.
 * Wishes to shine out among his more popular pre-evolution.
 * Sometimes summoned by Aquaman to turn the tide of battle.

Rainbow Dash, Goddess of Rainbows and Multicolored Hair (Dashie, Rainbow Crash)
 * Intermediate Goddess
 * Symbol: her Cutie Mark - a cloud with a rainbow-colored lightning bolt.
 * Alignment: Neutral Good
 * Portfolio: rainbows, Multicolored Hair, action girls, control of wind, extreme talent combined with laziness, awesome and justified names, occasional... problems with landings without any lasting injuries, implacable determination, sarcastic remarks and facehooves, blowing stuff up with a massive explosion, hot temperament, Pride that hides insecurity underneath, superior attitude and insensitivity, but also complete loyalty to her friends, reckless charges, Super Speed, control over weather
 * Allies: Fluttershy, Twilight Sparkle, Pinkie Pie, Rarity, Applejack
 * Followers: Bronies, The Rainbow Dash Fan Club
 * Ascended to her position after beating the ever-loving shit out of Starscream.
 * Ironically, reacted to the news of her deification with an "ohmygosh ohmygosh ohmygosh!"
 * Is a bit disappointed with being a "mere" intermediate deity. Also, would have preferred to be Goddess of Super Speed, what with being Best Young Flyer of the year and only pegasus ever to perform a Sonic Rainboom and all, as she is quick to tell anyone who will listen. But that position is already taken by Barry Allen.
 * Brags about her newfound Godhood all the time, much to the annoyance of some gods, especially those who are loath to see those ponies joining their ranks. Nevertheless, should a catastrophe strike the Pantheon, you can bet that Rainbow Dash will be first in line to defend it.
 * "The Pantheon has become about 20% cooler." -Rainbow Dash's followers
 * Alright, sure, she's had ONE elegant outfit she wore to the Grand Galloping Gala, and even then that was Rarity's work, and it's ruined now anyways. Can everyone just stop saying she always dresses in style? Seriously now? If only she could get her hooves on the one who started this... as well as that creepy wingless pony impersonating to be her...
 * May have some rivalry with Sonic The Hedgehog and Harpuia, with the later having many of the same powers and some of the same flaws.

Gohma Vlitra, 
 * Overdeity
 * Symbol:
 * Allignment: Chaotic Evil
 * Portfolio: Magma Monster,,  , Eldritch Abomination
 * Followers: The Gohma Forces,
 * Enemies: Asura, Yasha and Mithra; the entire Pantheon, especially members of the Nature Pantheon
 * A monstrous abomination, Gohma Vlitra has no alliegances to anyone in the Pantheon, and seeks to destroy all of Humanity, including all the Gods of the Pantheon.
 * Gohma suddenly began appearing in the Pantheon after Hexxus and his allies went too far in their endeavour to spread pollution. This brought immense worry from the Main House, believing that Gohma Vlitra might have somehow infiltrated the Pantheon, despite having been destroyed in its universe by Asura, Yasha and Mithra. Their fears were not unfounded...
 * In fact, that is why the Pantheon is so worried about Vlitra; despite its defeat by their hands, Vlitra is one of the few things in all of creation to be able to give Asura a hard time, requiring, and the assistance of Yasha to put down.
 * Despite the perceived improbability of its presence, Asura and Yasha know exactly who made it possible for Gohma Vlitra to manifest in the Pantheon:
 * Swamp Thing has decided to make it his business to halt Gohma Vlitra's advance. This has made the Pantheon consider him as the replacement of Captain Planet.
 * Upon Vlitra's ascension, Asura has taken it upon himself to lead a group of warriors to annihilate it once and for all. Melkor, on the other hand, has decided to try and tame the beast in order to use it against the GUAG.
