The House of Gaming is a... colorful retro-themed house, decorated with a number of game rooms with every console in existence across the multiverse scaled for any set of hands that can hold a controller, and an arcade area with a twenty-foot-tall anachronistic pinball machine and, of course, many arcade games. Outside of the gaming center, there's a department where many deities are revising their high scores, and an achievement zone. There are also rumors of a copy of Half-Life 3 being hidden in the house somewhere.
Many deities originating from the video game industry visit this house. They challenge in many activities aside from participating in tourneys, and all aside of alignments. The recognized legends of this house are Friendly Rivals Mario and Sonic.
This house is located adjacent to the House of Technology, and gods from one house frequently visit the other.
The release of the eighth-generation consoles (PlayStation 4, Wii U, Xbox One, etc.) has prompted fewer returns for defective units than the previous generation. Things have improved considerably with Fix-it Felix Jr. on the job.
Michael Jackson, an avid gamer, occasionally visits the house to provide music for certain games.
There has recently been a huge addition to this house for other kinds of games, like tabletop games, trading card games, board games, and poker games! It is simply known as The Inventory, and it is notable for being one of the few places where the gods can meet with certain mortals. Yes, certain mortals; you must be invited to this place if you're mortal. In fact, there is one mortal by the name of Reginald Van Winslow, former commodore for Guybrush Threepwood, mighty pirate. He is a prominent figure in this section of the House, ensuring that everybody has a good time, and is apparently is the right-hand man (or something) of the ambiguous manager of this wing. If you ever wanted to see different characters from different series play poker together, this is where you can find them, including Sam & Max, Strong Bad, the Heavy, Ash Williams, Tycho, Brock Samson, and Claptrap.
Love Machine isn't allowed at this house due to it being a malevolent AI program that could threaten the entire house, in addition to rendering almost everything here nearly unusable.
Due to a growing number of gods present, it has been split into some subhouses.

- Conflicting Opinion: Homer and Bart Simpson
- Has a spot on the Legendary Figures as well in Theatric Convention.
- Was previously God of Video Games before ceding his responsibilities to Gabe and Tycho to focus on merchandising. Spends a lot of his time with the Angry Video Game Nerd, or trying to get the last purple coins. He is now officially an ally of the Nerd after he aided him in repelling a malfunctioning R.O.B. attempting to assimilate all video games on the planet to his standards.
- When Sonic the Hedgehog came back to the Pantheon, Mario continued their rivalry, which is now much more friendly. In fact, the two fought each other in a Death Battle with the two trying to beat one another with their best powerups. Unfortunately, due to Mario being a Jack-of-All-Stats without powerups, and Sonic having Super Speed already, he was quickly decimated. Mario doesn't mind though and congratulated Sonic on a well-deserved victory.
- However, possibly letting this victory get to his head a bit, Sonic once again showed up to try and one-up Mario, saying he could do a better job at saving the princess than he could. After a minute long fight, Mario managed to come out on top with an uppercut that caught Sonic off guard. Sonic since apologized for the incident and decided to let the water finally go under the bridge.
- And now they're at it again for the third round with both agreeing that the first case was not properly done, and thus a revisit of the Death Battle was in order. Some things never change, it seems.
- The fight actually happened prematurely. After getting pissed off at Terumi for bringing up the live-action movie alongside a theory stating that he is a sociopath, Mario went to the beach to relax. Not knowing of what Mario went through, Sonic decided to steal his seat and was going to taunt him about the upcoming fight before Mario snapped and literally kicked him off, starting the fight. Sonic once more tried to ax Mario off the same way he did before, only for Mario to actually tank it and slam Sonic down into the ocean hard enough to create a nuclear-sized explosion and mushroom cloud with eyes. After Mario cooled down and Sonic revived, he apologized for the outburst and explained what happened that day. Sonic understood before deciding to call that their official rematch. This led Wiz and Boomstick to reanalyze Mario, and they came up with the fact that Mario's reactions speeds are fast enough to react to SONIC of all people. Mario's allies have been celebrating this feat while his enemies have notched him up a level on their threat meter.
- Mario's known to possess a superhuman level of adaptability—he has always been able to learn and change as necessary to overcome most any manner of hardship with little to no practice. This has enabled him to defeat witches, aliens, monsters, mutants, demons, robots, ghosts, zombies, dinosaurs, dragons, super weapons and...really just about anything you could list. Potentially, he could meet the challenge of even an Overdeity if this attribute persists.
- Upon hearing that Princess Peach ascended to the Pantheon, he rushed to her aid to save her before Bowser found out. Fortunately for him, Peach had already knocked out the first guy who tried to seduce her (Zapp Brannigan) with a well placed hit to the head with a frying pan.
- Mario and Paarthurnax are amused by the fact their voices are similar. He's also struck a friendship with the Dragonborn, for a very specific reason.
- Though he accepts why they are there, he really isn't fond of those who use guns. After all, he appeals to children more often. Rather than voice his disapproval in any revealing way, he tries to remain polite around such people. He even tries to get to know them better. Just to know who to REALLY keep his distance from.
- Surprisingly enough, Mario actually approached XCOM after his adventure with the Rabbids and offered to help them out if there's a mission they think they need extra help for. They can be seen talking about their own unique guns, saying that he probably just needed to get a gun that actually looked kid-friendly enough to accept them. Doesn't explain why he has a weapon called "Hell in a Shell".
- Any mention of the 'Super Mario Bros. Movie' ought to put the usually optimistic and fun-loving Mario in a sour mood.
- The only thing that would make him angrier is bringing up the idea that he is mental, Peach is an emotional dictator or that Luigi is secretly wishing to become more like Mr. L. Dimentio learned that the hard way after mocking Mario and Luigi about these theories.
- Mario took enough pity for Eario to secretly get him a spot in the Pantheon in the House of Profession. He also leaves coins behind for Eario to collect occasionally.
- Has officially joined "The Brotherhood" upon hearing of Luffy and Ace's tragedy, with Luffy failing to save Ace in time from death as Ace sacrificed himself for Luffy. Mario not only applauds Ace for his bravery but Luffy for finding a will to stay strong and going after that. Upon his and Luigi's decision to join, Bowser also demanded to help, saying that only HE is allowed to beat Mario. Mario shrugged it off and allowed him, growing comfortable with Bowser's behavior at this point.
- Some of his followers in non-english speaking countries call him "Mario Bros", he has been merciful enough not to smite them.
- Occasionally goes to the House of Food to eat pasta and pizza, the foods of his people. However, he is not obsessed with pizza the same way as Dante and the Ninja Turtles. Whenever he sees the five together, he is quick to grab his food and leave the eatery, given their well-known rivalry over pizza.
- Mario is a fierce defender of children and will attack anyone who threatens a child with extreme prejudice. Still, he is not above laying the smackdown on seriously evil children. Just ask Bowser Jr.
- Against his better judgment, he got involved in Homer and Bart Simpsons family disputes. He was unable to determine who was the perpetrator and who the victim, given both father and son are prone to episodes of sudden Jerkassery. After consulting the Heroic Protectors of Family, he agreed to leave those two to their own devices.
- Achieved an unprecedented form of international recognition when he went to the closing ceremony of the Brazil 2016 Olympic Games to promote the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games... and became Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe! A lot of people congratulated Mario for his ability to transcend nationalism in the name of sportsmanship and peaceful competition.
- Mario is really good at a lot of things blue-collar, having around 57 real jobs and 120 jobs that may or may not be real; but not everything. To wit, he's not talented in rap, TV hosting, medicine (worse, might not actually be legitimate), and even as a soldier (fatigues and all).
- One day, while greeting a newcomer by the name of SMG4, called Glitchy, who managed to legally profit by creating something called Super Mario 64 Bloopers, he ended up receiving lots of calls and people coming up to him demanding to know what has gotten into him, as he was apparently causing a giant mess in the Pantheon. While confused by this at first, he quickly realized there may have been another case of what he faced when he visited Isle Delfino, as in another Doppelganger. Sure enough, he found Glitchy's Mario, who he and Glitchy were talking about before the incident was brought to their attention, harassing Peach as they both have feared. Unfortunately, by the time a crowd formed around them, no one was able to tell them apart.
- To solve this issue, two of Mario's most proud heralds, 9-volt and 18-volt, decided to host a quiz show with the help of Mettaton to determine the real copy, called "It's a Me, Mario!" Of course, Mario managed to answer every question right, while Glitchy's Mario ended up failing harshly. The copy was taken away to be judged by the Court Of The Gods and the real Mario thanked the fans for helping clear his innocence before getting to work to help clean up his fake's mess.
- Despite the incident, the original Mario still gets confused with Glitchy's Mario. Not only can someone accidentally say "Mario" when trying to refer to Glitchy's Mario, but also they look almost identical. The situation only worsened when it was revealed that Mario recently gained an outfit that would help him look like his 64-bit counterpart. To help relieve matters, Mario decided to retire from wearing that outfit, donating it to 9-volt and writing down a note which essentially says how he was thankful for their help trying to prove his innocence and he owns 18-volt a retro Luigi outfit. There were and still over the moon with this gesture.

The copy was taken away to be judged by the Court Of The Gods and the real Mario thanked the fans for helping clear his innocence before getting to work to help clean up his fake's mess.
- Was more than happy to do the honors of ascending Cappy after his latest adventure, and even more so to allow him to stay on his head during their adventures throughout the Pantheon. He's also secretly working with him to help plan another proposal, and on that would hopefully not lead to Mario fearing he would be competing Bowser.
- Many people are curious as to why Mario keeps inviting the normally villainous Bowser to his sporting events. Mario actually answered this question by saying that he actually views Bowser as a friend, even when he kidnaps Peach, saying that he would love to hang out with him until he kidnaps the princess. Bowser just scoffed at this saying Mario has the wrong idea, as Mario just chuckled and went along with it.
- Because of his space adventures, he has earned the respect of some of the Pantheon's most respected space captains, such as James T. Kirk, Jean-Luc Picard and John Sheridan. Even the gruff and serious William Adama has a soft spot for the the Italian plumber. Malcolm Reynolds once jokingly asked Mario for a bit of money to pay a few bills; and Mario, ever the generous man, gave him a treasure chest full of golden coins. Despite being an outlaw, Mario knew that Mal was a good man deep down and that's why he knew he could trust him.
- Overdeity
- Symbol: Mr. Game & Watch waving his Scepter of Power. It only looks like a bell
- Theme Song: Flat Zone and Flat Zone 2
- Alignment: True Neutral
- Portfolio: Hammerspace, Use of everything From Torches to Turtles to Fish to Buckets of Oil and Everything In Between, Flat Characters (literally), Secret Characters, Hyperspace Mallets
- Domains: Darkness (he is monochrome, after all), the 2-D realm
- Allies: All ascended deities who were born in 2-D gaming, most famously Mario, Link, and Samus, 9-volt and 18-volt, Cranky Kong
- Enemies: Tabuu
- Rival: King Tezro of Dotnia
- Mr. Game & Watch spends much of his time trying to catch up to Tabuu and get his revenge for Tabuu making him the worst boss ever. Also is at odds with the King of Dotnia for being able to move in one more dimension.
- Likes to show off his pandimensional Mismatched Sock Collection, made up of every sock in all of time and space that has ever been lost in the wash. Most are either indifferent or confused.
- Whatever you do, do NOT mess with this guy. Besides being able to wield all Hyperspace Mallets and control all robotic implements that are too big to fit into a robot's body, he also has many, many, favors from Mario, Link, Sonic, Pit, all who gained their greatness in Nintendo, Deadpool, (G&W taught Deadpool a number of fourth wall weaknesses), and Solid Snake. You have been warned. If you don't want in over your head, and just want to see Spongebob vs. Deadpool, you can ask him.
- It's possible that if he really wanted to, Game & Watch could cash in all his favors, battle Batman for the title of God of Preparations, and win, proving himself one of the most powerful beings under the Main House.
- Mr. Game & Watch is looked up to by the CPU Candidates because they also represent handheld gaming.
- In a mutual respecting relationship, 9-volt and 18-volt are both fanboys of him, and he in return absolutely adores the idea of them using his games along with other older deities for his microgames. It's possible that the three of them may of been the reason Pit may of gotten a third adventure, as well as his inclusion in the third smash game. Unlikely, but it's entirely possible they brought awareness to Nintendo's older games.
- He's also on good terms with Cranky Kong for being from when games were actually good and not newfangled.
- For the record, it's spelled Game & Watch. Not Game and Watch. Game & Watch.
- Greater God (Borders on Overdeity, as he can freely traverse the gaming multiverse at will and summon forth beings of other worlds with ease.)
- Theme Song: Pac-Man (Namco Museum Vol.1), Pac-Man Park & Block Plaza
- Symbol: Cherries, strawberries, oranges, apples, pretzels. Alternatively, "a pizza with a missing piece" (basically the 8-bit Pac-Man).

- Rivals: Kirby, Garfield
- Enemies: Missingno
- Though predated by Game & Watch by a few months, Pac-Man was the world's first actual character in videogames, as the collective of Game & Watch would not spawn a representative among the nameless figures until some time later. A pioneer in an uncharted land, Pac-Man broke the barrier of objects and vehicles being the only player representative in games, giving the players at last a true ally in their quest for the highest scores.
- After the notion of creating a "continuity" for Pac-Man was abandoned, the yellow fella found himself transcending all manners of boundaries — without any sort of ties or anchors to keep him in place, his presence and power snowballed to a degree the likes of which never seen before or since. The act of joining the Mario Kart events was something he was able to do on a whim, and finding his way into the world where the artifact Pandora was being fought for was no trying feat.
- Thirty years under his belt, Pac-Man finally decided it was time to pass the torch to a new generation. Giving Namco consent to give him a "reincarnation" in a younger and more modern Pac-Man (who turns out to be his son, an all grown up Jr. Pac-Man), the legend respectfully allowed himself to somewhat retire, going out on top as one of the most important figures in gaming history.
- Following his contacting by old friend and "student" Mario, Pac-Man consented to join the great gathering of Super Smash Bros. for their fourth tournament. It was only shortly thereafter that he became aware of the Pantheon's presence at all and, as he's oft to do, strolled right on in. His legacy was quickly acknowledged and, well aware of the kind of power held behind that deceptively lighthearted package, nobody was exactly keen on the notion of telling him "no".
- Pac-Man, while respected for his significance in history, is also regarded by some of the higher-ups in the justice-oriented Houses as a secret weapon. With his ability to consume quite literally anything, it is kept in mind that this frightening hunger could be unleashed on any rogue member of the pantheon, no matter how great or terrible. Thankfully, Pac-Man's neutrality isn't absolute, and he recognizes that going on a hunger spree amongst the gods would be wrong.
- It has been seen that Pac-Man actually appears distressed or aggravated when in the presence of Missingno., the renown glitched abomination. While the young/modern members of the House can't figure out why, Game & Watch and the House Legends are well aware that Pac-Man's almost instinctive exception to the glitch harkens back to the "Progenitor Glitch", Level 256 that halted his stride years before...
- Made the mistake of taking Light Yagami's favorite bag of potato chips...and EATING them without adding the extra "awesome".
- He and Kirby spend the majority of their time gorging in the dining hall, cleaning up after legendary food fights or eating everyone's leftovers, usually leaving (or in Kirby's case, spitting out) the plates to be washed. There is no waste in this House.
- Has currently built a miniature robot that looks similar to Mokujin, meant for beating the life out of anyone who gets in his way of an all-you-can-eat buffet. Has also used the mech to hunt down an overweight man who has suffered a mid-life crisis and believes he is Mega Man.
- Is currently the only being to consume Mystery Food X, an indescribably-horrid dish created by Yukiko Amagi and her allies Chie Satonaka and Rise Kujikawa, without any side effects. Despite which, Pac-Man would still prefer his good ol' power pellets instead.
- He also has consumed a dish prepared by Noel Vermillion, a dish so bad it knocks an Eldritch Abomination out. The result for Pac-Man is still the same; no side effects.
- Once tried to eat Pinkie Pie after eating a Power Pellet, believing her to be one of the Ghosts.
- Participated in the First Pantheon Gourmet Race and ended up in a three-way tie alongside Goku and Kirby. He naturally has a life-time membership of the Gourmet Racer Club.
- For some reason, PacMan seems to like hanging out on Sark's airship. Amusingly, Sark never seems to take notice of the stowaway.
- He's weary of slingshots, thanks to the many cruel things players did to him in Pac-Man 2: The New Adventures.
- One day, for a joke, Ed reprogramed Pac-Man's famous maze. When the ghost munching God entered for a round, he found that the maze was tilting about, forcing all the ghosts, and himself, to tilt with the maze. He has since forgiven Ed for the prank (Granted, when you have a stomach of iron, it's hard for you to throw up in a tilting maze, and 30+ years of bumping into walls have given him a resistance to head trauma), and certain Gods have requested to try out this new variant of his famous game.
- Panic struck the House of Gaming, as the Progenitor Glitch, 256, returned upon Pac-Man's 35th Birthday, seemingly intent upon consuming he and his rivals to bring all of their series to oblivion. In a bold and heroic bid that may very well have cost him not only life but existence, Pac-Man lured the nightmare away from the House into a hall of endless mazes. Though a slew of wild ghosts mindlessly sought to take their last chance to get him once and for all, Pac-Man escaped safely — leaving the all-consuming abomination trapped within the infinite stretch forever. At least, hopefully...

- Teeth-Clenched Teamwork with: Arthur Pendragon
- Odd Friendship: Steve Rogers
- Special Relations: Mario (Friendly Rival and fellow member of The Brotherhood)
- Sonic is a speedy blue hedgehog known for thwarting any sort of plan that Dr. Eggman throws his way and the world that they live in (though the hedgehog has stopped other threats in addition to Eggman). The hedgehog has, among other things, a number of different powered-up forms (the most iconic of which is Super Sonic), plenty of familiar faces from his world, and most of all, a cool, snarky, and headstrong attitude even when things get dire.
- He's formed a bit of a bond with Arturia due to both having taken the title of King Arthur and ruled the land of Camelot for a time. They occasionally spar in order for Sonic to keep up with his swordsmanship.
- Ironically enough, there's a bit of friction between him and the actual Arthur Pendragon. While they do work together to stop certain threats from arising, Sonic is wary that Arthur might end up becoming evil and Arthur doesn't like how Sonic ended up being the real King Arthur amidst the fact that the hedgehog slew his version of King Arthur.
- Due to having once wielded an annoying talking sword that constantly called him "Knave!" and Fool!", he's actually able to stand Excalibur to an extent, though he admits his sword at least stop calling him that after a while and would actually say something useful.
- Sonic's relation with fellow platforming icon Mario has been quite interesting. Back then, the hedgehog was the primary rival for the plumber in platforming supremacy. As time went by, they've become friendlier towards each other to the point where it would be possible to consider them as Fire-Forged Friends with each other.
- Friendly competitions between the two have been quite frequent. In a rather unofficial one, Sonic was able to defeat Mario while another one had Mario defeat Sonic, though it hasn't been mentioned that much since then (and the two tend to take their fights in the Smash tournament, of which Sonic has joined during the third iteration, nowadays). In less lethal matters, the two alongside their friends and rivals have visited the House of Sports to compete and in certain intervals, they are featured in Olympic events (some of the events in question are actual Olympic sports and others are more fantastical). Although they have been seen preparing for another unofficial bout.
- Said unofficial bout became even more unofficial as he tried to taunt Mario by stealing his seat at the beach. The portly plumber, just coming to relax after he finished getting trolled by Terumi for various reasons, wasn't in the mood and kicked him off, literally, prompting Sonic to decide to attack him in response. This escalated until the hedgehog tried to saw Mario up like he did so long ago, only for Mario to tank it and toss him down into the ocean with enough speed that it caused a giant nuclear explosion. By the time he revived, they both sheepishly apologized to each other for their brash behavior, and decided to make that their official rematch.

Although they have been seen preparing for another unofficial bout.
- Aside from his Super Sonic form, some of Sonic's powered-up forms include Werehog Sonic (which trades Speed for Power and is only usable at night), Darkspine Sonic (which is the result of Sonic getting unique rings that are representative of negative emotions), and Excalibur Sonic (as previously mentioned, it comes into play should Sonic get his hands on that talking sword). That said, Super Sonic is probably the most convenient super form for the hedgehog, though it (and his other powered-up forms) are only temporary and really only used if things get very serious.
- Considered one of the fastest Gods in all the Pantheon. Whether he's faster than Barry Allen, Rainbow Dash, or some other speedster is a subject of heated debate. These speedsters are more than willing to engage in a race whenever the time comes for it.
- To put it bluntly, it is quite difficult to talk about him and his contributions without getting involved into arguments as to how well these contributions have turned out. Sometimes the arguments include how he looks (and keep in mind that the modern and classic looks have met each other). Even amidst these heated debates and turmoil over some of them, Sonic has been able to carry on.
- Sonic is great friends with Crash Bandicoot, another animal platformer hero with an attitude who has gone up against a Mad Scientist arch-nemesis a number of times.
- Is worried about the Godmodder's position in the Pantheon due to the fact that the problems the godmodder caused before he ascended resulted in, among other things, Sonic being Glitched out of reality for several months along with Metal Sonic.
- Gets along well with Neptune, but he thinks of her as his strangest friend.
- Learned of Metal Sonic's alliance with Rainbow Dash's robotic Evil Counterpart, The R-Dash 5000, and has strengthen his own alliance with RD in case they need to take them down...and they, much like their counterparts, are purposely ignoring any and all implications of shipping from the masses.
- Became friends with Mordecai and Rigby when he found them playing an arcade cabinet that featured one of his outings. He learned that they owned a Sega Master System, and his voice reminded them of Thomas.
- Gives Segata Sanshiro the utmost respect, as he knows that it was because of him that their company of Sega was able to hold out for so long.
- As far as Sonic and Sega are concerned, the Hedgehog has been able to secure a large number of friends (in addition to his already-existing entourage) from that organization, both classic and modern. The more colorful characters tend to hang out with him more often than the more serious ones (though it's due to the strictly professional relations regarding them that Sonic decided to let them handle their own matters whatever they are). Then again, he did invite Gillius Thunderhead to play tennis and go racing successfully.
- Some people say that when Steve Urkel talks, occasionally he sounds like Sonic. It is largely assumed to be just a coincidence.
- There have been other instances where people have claimed to hear Sonic sounding like Steve Rogers. The two somehow met each other by chance and the two blue heroes hold a good amount of respect of each other for preventing any troubles that befall their respective worlds.
- Has been summoned along with an initial set of three other fellow Smasher gods by a certain teenage Mii who happened to be a follower of his to join her in MST and a trial of snark. He always seems to look forward to when he will be summoned next, and to have made a friend with a mortal Pokémon trainer from Kalos due to similarities.
- Sash Lilac was someone whom Sonic was intrigued with. After hearing about her adventures and of how similar she is to him, he offered her a position in the Pantheon, which she eagerly accepted.
- Upon hearing about Lord Brevon and what he has done, Sonic, along with Lilac and all their respective friends have formed an alliance to ensure that Brevon is stopped once and for all. Sonic was all for it, seeing that the warlord is much worse than the doctor, and even heard that Eggman is opposing him as well.
- It hasn't been brought up often, but some think that Sonic's speed comes from his sneakers. There was one instance where Eggman slowed Sonic down by giving him a pair of heavy boots, but most have just considered it to be a weird point in Sonic and Eggman's ongoing rivalry, even taking into account the question of Sonic's source of speed.
- There has also been a few wondering as to why Sonic would need a car or a hoverboard for certain moments when he could have just run to get somewhere. The hedgehog has pointed out that these aforementioned vehicles are really only used in certain competitions that he takes part in (then again, he did run in certain races before).
- Sonic has made a few visits to the House of Food to eat chili dogs. Strangely enough, he also has a popcorn machine installed at that house, which has led some to ask if Sonic has popcorn as a secondary favorite food in addition to the chili dogs.
- Ace's tale of his adventure and path to death by sacrificing himself for Luffy's sake touched about everyone with a soul in the Pantheon. However, Sonic was touched in a way that made him feel like a jerk, seeing how he realized that he more or less neglected and blamed Tails multiple times previously. He quickly went over to try and make amends, though Tails insisted that there was no harm done and that he was happy that Sonic just cares for him. Since than, the two adopted brothers joined the other two in their quest to help preserve and protect the peace of the other brothers in their group.
- Has accepted Eggman's invitation to protect him, not just because he's the only one allowed to defeat Sonic, but he's just that compicated of a guy. Still, considering Eggman's betrayal tendencies, eyes have been on him.
- And Eggman's out. You can't exactly protect someone if you capture them, torture them, and take over the world.
- On that note, trying to torture Sonic by forcing him to watch as you take over the world simply does not work. He's overcome these types of villains enough times that he's basically completely unshakable now.
- Has accepted Eggman's invitation to protect him, not just because he's the only one allowed to defeat Sonic, but he's just that compicated of a guy. Still, considering Eggman's betrayal tendencies, eyes have been on him.
- Sonic has a strong dislike of former Turbografx-16 mascot Johnny Turbo. At first he just found the out of touch mascot to be an insufferable fool due to his blind hatred of the entire Sega pantheon, his constant slandering of the company and his unwillingness to move on from 90's culture, but it escalated into something far worse when Turbo delivered an unprovoked running uppercut to former Sega mascot Alex Kidd for selling a Sega CD instead of a Turboduo at his game shop. When he discovered this act, Sonic tracked down Johnny and handed him his ass on a silver platter. He later served as a key witness in a trial against him, which resulted in Sonic (and the rest of Segas faculty) being granted a 160 feet restraining order against him.
- Reverse-Flash hates him and wants to destroy him because he's a heroic speedster with a good life just like The Flash. They know about each other Deadpool once called Thawne "Reverse-Sonic" in reference to his suit being yellow, which is opposite to Sonic's blue on the color wheel.
- Sonic's the name, speed's my game!
Ambiguous Ranks
Howard: Hey, excuse me, are you a certified announcer like us?
Well, not really. Im more of a-
Kreese: Well then SHUT THE FUCK UP! This is our profile, you dont see us comin' and stealing your job narrating the fuckin Tales or whatever!
*Cue Kreese and Howard slamming the narrator into a burning barrel and throwing it unto oncoming traffic.*
Howard: And would you look at that, they had a barrel of a time! I'd like to check out what's left of them but first, our profile.
Howard "Buckshot" Holmes and Kreese Kreely, Patron Saints of Talkative Announcers

- Howard: The Houses of Lust
- Annoyed with: Junko Enoshima
- Opposed by: The House of Craft
- Howard: "Good evening bloodthirsty gods and goddesses! It's a beeaautiful day out in the Trope Pantheons, just perfect to spectate over - you guessed it - unfamily friendly bloodbath and carnage. My name is Howard "Buckshot" Holmes and along with my co-commentator Kreese Kreely, I'll be giving you a slay-by-slay coverage over tonight's meat grinder with access to more than 100,000 cameras you can be sure you won't miss any evisceration, liquidation, or sick corpse defiling. Say, wouldn't you say this is the Pantheon's first official broadcast?"
Kreese: "Right you fucking are, Howard. While Death Watch isn't open to the Pantheon just yet, we've taken it upon ourselves to serve as announcers here to talk over every bit of messy manslaughter. Here we have loads and loads of gods and having met some of these weirdos I can tell you that this place is going to be more gruesome shows of disembodied limbs an than a family meeting swimming in a naval minefield. We've got a hell lot more amazing arenas, weapons, traps, and a shit ton more surprises coming your way.
Howard: "So sharpen your knives, pull up a seat, and get ready to enjoooooy our profile!"
Kreese: "I can't even read it!"
- Kreese: "Oh hey it's Jack! Still chopping wankers to bits with that- double chainsaw!?"
Howard: "Seems like the Baron's back again, wait he's with Jack? Didn't they kill each other that one time?"
Kreese: "Aw he dies all the time. Must be a respect thing. Like Big Bull Crocker who seemed to got an upgrade in, well everything. Twirlenkiller stayed the same, though. Oh Jesus, but his farts from his turbines got even stronger."
Howard: "No, it was me again."
Kreese: "Argh, seriously Howard?!"
- Howard: "As per according to the divine rankings we're assigned as Ambiguous deities as while he participated in the games, we were never actually seen doing so by everyone here."
Kreese: "You're telling me they didn't see that time in '07 where Frank shoved his fist up my ass and turned me into a hand puppet?"
Howard: "Apparently not."
Kreese: "You know, I never get these rankings. All the guys up top ever do is sit on their ass and masturbate and only ever get involved when it's fucking convenient for them. And yet everyone kisses their ass over and over again and never shuts up about them.
Howard: "Bastards like them are wasting all that good power not funding games like Deathwatch."
- Kreese: "You know I ran late this morning 'cause I was dealing with Rain? Prince or not, you'll be more than wet when this princely stripper is done with you. He'll send you down the river while you're pissin' your pants, which is what exactly he did to me after giving me a swirly. Hmph, and if it that wasn't enough he can call thunderstorms out of nowhere."
Howard: "Hate to rain on your parade but throughout the battle with that deckhead and I thought to myself was water you doing?!"
Kreese: "The eye, I'm going to stab you IN YOUR GODDAMN EYE!"
Howard: "You shore about that?"
- Howard: "You know, the other day I met this girl named Junko Enoshima and she apparently wants to help out with bringing in Death Watch to the Pantheon."
Kreese: "Hell no! Keep her out of this."
Howard: "Sounds like you're acquainted with her already."
Kreese: "Acquainted? She made me sit through so many of her goddamn Killing Games, they're boring as sin! Everyone involved just moves around trying to not kill each other and only do it when that fucktard bear says so. Then they spend on and on with how the murder is committed and everything last goddamn detail. The only exciting bits are when some asshole gets executed, almost makes her babbling on despair worth it."
Howard: "You know, we should get some of those execution equipment for when Death Watch comes back. Put it through better use than whatever the hell she's doing."
Kreese: "Aaaaamen to that."
- Howard: "And speaking of Killing Games, it seems we've had a lot of hate mail from people who went through thing like that-"
Kreese: "What?"
Howard: "-and hated it. 'Don't go and trivialize people's deaths ugh!' 'People shouldn't be forced to participate in Death Watch neegh!'"
Kreese: "Isn't that the fucking point? I don't see the problem here, you know how much trouble it would be if we had to ask every single goddamn ratfucker if they want to participate or not?"
- Howard: "And speaking of Killing Games, it seems we've had a lot of hate mail from people who went through thing like that-"
- Howard: "Look here, apparently we've been compared quite a lot to "Wiz and Boomstick". Says here with how we run things is similar to how they talk over Death Battle, even though we totally came before them!"
Kreese: "I dunno, I kinda like Boomstick. He pretty much speaks my language, probably go drinking sometime. Not with Wiz, though. Smartass has less luck with love than Howard."
Howard: "Wow, he must really suck."
Kreese: "I know."
Howard: "Maybe we should all do an episode one day and have Jack be one of the contenders. I could rant about my ex-wife with Boomstick and also teach Wiz a thing or two about love."
Kreese: "I doubt he'd learn anything from you."
- Kreese: "You know, after a day of announcing and and spectating of gruesome murder, sometimes you just wanna kick back and take a break. Something like sitting down and smoking meth or maybe some time playing golf- well, not that I have ever done so."
Howard: "Oh wee. Whew. Finally got 'Mystery Food X' out of my system. And it only took a full 30 minutes of vommiting to do so!"
Kreese: "I can tell you had shrimp for lunch, still can't believe I got my ass punted by that Kick Chick for saying how shit it was."
Howard: "Hmph. Only constructive criticism if you ask me. Anyways, what'd I miss this time? Any mortifying mutilations?"
Kreese: "Oh, eh uh, just buzzsaw. Fourth time today."
- Howard: "You should be more mindful of where you are in the Pantheon. At least, a bit more than usual."
Kreese: "Why?"
Howard: "Lately there's been talk of a teacher with an atrociously simple appearance. They say that when you encountered them you have to find and solve all his math problems within his seven notebooks and even getting one wrong has him chasing you all over the House to do something with that ruler of his."
Kreese: "Ah hell, I know that prick. I had to go through them and got every single one of them wrong. You know when I signed up to be an announcer here NOBODY SAID THERE'D BE MATH!"
Howard: "I blaaaaame our schoooools!"
- Howard: "Today gods and goddesses we have here some unwilling deities placed in the lovely humble homestead of the murderous Jack, who seems to be in the mood for using his crippling chainsaws!"
Kreese: "Why did we have to place 'em there in the first place? Isn't Jack already into games like this?"
Howard: "Jack Baker, with his Chainsaw Shears but he's not limited to just that! Give this family man anything and he'll make faaantastic use of it. You could probably give him someone's entrails and he'll choke someone to death with them! He's a bit of a favorite among spectators, what with his lovable attitude and all. And he's got one hell of a wife too! "
Kreese: "I don't want to think of any bugs right now, I'm pretty sure her fucking bug-children has all types of diseases. They might be why I got yellow fever, malaria, and dengue just just yesterday."
Howard: "Speaking of children, their son Lucas Baker forces others to play Deadly Games with all the neat and sadistic traps he made all by himself. That's the kind of ingenuity you don't see much of these days!"
Kreese: "Cowardly little shit. I 'ought to kick his punk ass one day."
Howard: "Well why not now?"
Kreese: "Uh, probably 'cause of all the traps.
Howard: "Fair point."
- Kreese: "Jesus, you know how much how I hate going into the House of Health and Diseases? Every time I go there almost every time there's doctor asking me a buncha questions: 'How'd you survive Death Watch all this time?' 'How are you still living even when you're declared legally dead?' 'Can I touch your pig tits sown on your body?' All I want is to get fixed up, is that hard to get some goddamn service?
- Howard: "You seem to be on your period today. Ran out of weed?"
Kreese: "Nope."
Howard: "Someone made a pun?"
Kreese: "Yeah, but not the problem. They let sickos like Cruella into this place, it's disgusting!"
Howard: "Again, didn't you compete in DeathWatch?"
Kreese: "And again, asshole, the only living things I killed are people, and that's different! What she tried to pull was just fucked up. And besides, Lysandere planned to kill off everyone so I'm in the right."
Howard: "Well, you're not wrong about that. Mathematically speaking, that may just be more kills than pretty much everyone in Death Watch combined, even with Jack on board!"
Kreeese: "For fucks sake, NOBODY SAID THERE'D BE MATH!"
Both: "I blaaaaame our schoooools!"
- Kreese: "Come to think of it, what the hell is up with TV Tropes anyways? I see it plastered all over the Pantheon no matter where I fucking go, and no one seems to notice!"
Howard: "Says here it's a wiki page meant to catalog every trope, a figure of speech or expression like a theme or device of sorts, across all of pop-culture. Movies, literature, and of course TV. And the Pantheon is no different, with characters chosen to represent them from pretty much everywhere. Then they stick 'em into a room just to see what would happen, mostly to watch them kill each other. Man, considering the amount of effort these Tropers put into all this, their lives must be pretty sad and boring.
Kreese: "Well why'd ya think I asked you?"
- Howard: "I just got a letter from the House of Craft. It says here we're not welcome because of our comments on artists during the credits. I called them a rash you wanted to go away while you called them 'brain-dead booger eaters'."
Kreese: "Well it's true."
- Howard: "There goes another Mook's spleen, surgical precision all thanks to Travis Touchdown and his beam katanas. Even for a dead-end loser like him, he can still cut you down to size!
Kreese: "I'm pretty sure he's missing more than his spleen."
Howard: "Well no shit, you think I couldn't see that?"
Kreese: "Wouldn't be the first. Anyways, and I thought Geek senior and Geek junior with their wienie-ass hate sabers were bad enough but Mr. Crownless King over her takes whatever energy they had into a whole new level. He's faced Humongous Mechas piloted by a sports team, a grandma with a Wave Motion Gun, and other circus freaks even with the same nerd sticks he has! He's gotta recharge them through masturbating though. How does he still have a dick after all that, anyways? There's no way it could be any worse than that."
Howard: "Let Lust be my witness because what Travis does couldn't even compare..."
Kreese: "I witnessed enough."
- Kreese: "And here's Eliza. You know, it's thanks to her parasite that Sekhmet she's capable of attacking with blood and pretty much recovering from any wounds if she gets into a good enough source of one, and here I thought that other blood-hungry bitch was bad enough."
Howard: "Awesome rack on her, though!"
Kreese: "Aw, true dat! I remember tryin' to get a good luck at her before her manwhores kicked the shit outta me. I got sent to the House of Health and Diseases with eight broken ribs, massive hemorrhage, and iron deficiency."
Howard: "Awesome rack on her, though!"
Kreese: "True dat!"
- Howard: "This is Howard "Buckshot" Holmes!"
Kreese: "And Kreese Kreely!"
Howard: "Saying thanks to all the gods, the readers, and of course the Tropers."
Kreese: "And we'll see you in hell!"

- In another timeline, most if not all of Cartoon Network deities lived in the same world in peace (mostly) and harmony... but everything changed when Planet Fusion attacked. It invaded the solar system and absorbed all the planets before setting its sight on Earth and began using its army to spread Fusion Matter across the planet, to be able to absorb it to itself. Everyone on Earth whether a hero, villain, alien or whatever joined together to fight against this monumental threat but before they could create Nanos—the ultimate weapon against the Fusion army—Fusion Matter covered most the planet by then and most available fighters were killed in action, rendering victory nearly impossible. But a hero from the past accidentally sent to the future by Dee-Dee was able to come back with the blueprints for Nanos from the future, giving Earth a chance. The doomed future timeline was erased because of this (unless the Timey-Wimey Ball occurred and it led to a Inferred Holocaust) and on August 29, 2013, Fuse and his forces were finally defeated and whatever happened to FusionFall afterward was unknown because Cartoon Network shut the game down on that same date.
- Or is it? After word broke out that FusionFall is being rebuilt by fans as FusionFall Legacy, many CN deities began to fear if this may cause Planet Fusion to ascend to the Pantheon. Their fears would be realized as the planet suddenly manifested above the Pantheon, making everyone who knows of it wet themselves. Meteors carrying Fusion Matter rained down across the entire Pantheon, hitting every House and thousands if not millions of Fusion Monsters began running amok, bring the entire Pantheon to a panic. What was dubbed the "Fusion Invasion", where an entire day was done fighting off Fusion Monsters before deities were able to drive them enemy back to Planet Fusion. Before anybody could retaliate against the planet, Planet Fusion vanished into who knows where and hasn't been spotted since.
- After the Pantheon recovered, many have requested measures be taken against Fuse and his armies for the amount of damage they were able to cause in such a short amount of time. All affected areas recovered but many fear the day when Fuse would return, as this is an even worse incident that the Shadow Monster's ascension. Dexter has been looked up to for guidance on this threat but not even he knows what to due since he isn't the same Dexter who fought against Fuse but he's trying to find a way to recreate Nanos as hard as he could though.
- It is still unknown where exactly Fuse fled to afterward. Presumable, due to how fast he was able to leave, some kind of wormhole must have teleported Planet Fusion to Another Dimension as the planet hasn't been detected even on a universal-scale radar. It's unknown where he is but some believe that he may be waging war in the previously mentioned Legacy universe as a means for payback.
- Even if he can't bring his planet with him, Fuse has been able to manifest a physical avatar made of the Fusion Matter that remained in the Pantheon after the invasion. Of course, he must remain to be unseen lest he wishes for pitchforks by his doorstep but he has made very good allies during his time here. He was able to gain the admiration of the Lich and convinced Envy to help do his dirty work for him and has gained favors with the likes of Phazon and Tabuu.
- He also reunited with one of the few allies he had before his ascension: Zs'Skayr who's race he spared if they joined him in alliance. The ghostly alien accepted, not wanting to provoke Fuse's wrath and is helping to pave way for Fuse's eventually return to the Pantheon.
- The most infamous of the Fusion Monsters are the Fusions, clones of people made by Fusion Matter. Granted, they may not be as powerful as their original counterparts but most are Lesser to Intermediate levels and that's just accounting before Fuse's ascension. To create a Fusion, Fuse must possess a close object of the person he's making a Fusion out of which requires him to have his minions steal said objects for him. Fuse was able to snatch many possessions during his invasion (which was the main reason why he did it in the first place) and has Envy steal objects for him afterward. It is believed Fuse is amassing more Fusions at a grander scale and that the moment he's done, he'll resume waging war with the Pantheon.
- Persona users were disturbed by the Fusions, seeing them as less psychotic but more intelligent versions of Shadows. It doesn't help that several Persona users such as Tatsuya Suou, Labrys, and Goro Akechi had their possessions stolen during the Fusion Invasion as well. They're all preparing for the when they will inevitably face their own Fusions in battle.
- It's really hard to pinpoint of powerful Fuse really is. Samurai Jack states that Fuse's powers pales in comparison with Aku's but even he knows that Fuse's physical avatar is nothing to be underestimated. It's been also told that the Glorft repelled an invasion once, but how powerful Fuse has become since that defeat is still debated.
- Fuse's avatar's abilities can use an attack that's the equivalent to a Mana Drain, can detach his limbs to attack on different sides, stun his opponents, and heal himself. That's not even mentioning his other attacks that cause additional damage, which makes Fuse That One Boss.
- The Fusions' ultimate weakness is Imaginary Energy, an unknown force which allows the creation of Imaginary Friends. It proves extremely effective combating Fuse and his forces, which may be the reason Fuse's invasion was so brief: why prolong your attack on a place filled with fictional characters and runs on the power of imagination itself? He's has been researching on Imaginary Energy to cover up this weakness but hasn't been successful so far.
- Really doesn't know what to feel of FusionFall Legacy. In one hand, Fuse has a second chance on his invasion but in the other, he might get his ass whooped again.
- The Anti-Spiral was enraged after discovering that Fuse and his minions were Spirals based on their cloning techniques. He calmed down once he realized that Fuse is the Lesser of Two Evils, being a better alternative than having all those Spirals prance around the universe but still wants these "evils" dead either way.
- If one notices the amount of people who are his enemies, Fuse broke records on how many people he was able to piss off in his debut alone. If that wasn't enough, many rivals emerged challenging Fuse to see how powerful he is compared to themselves.
- Melkor and Nekron were originally wished to recruit Fuse after being impressed by his arrival but then Melkor had Fusion Monsters invading his personal space which shot down that invitation and Nekron's invitation was rejected as Fuse wished Earth for himself and can't have that with the GUAD nuking everything in sight. Fuse isn't bothered by this too much, as he's considered more of a Wild Card if anything.
- He and Brainiac have gotten along really well despite having different goals. They usually converse the knowledge they gained over the worlds they conquered/devoured and even offer advice to one another.
- Yes, he is aware some properties such as Totally Spies! and Xiaolin Showdown don't belong to Cartoon Network and only air on it. Either way, he's enemies with anyone who is willing to stand beside the CN characters against him, including deities from those shows.
- Cosmos was repulsed by Fuse's existence and declared him one of the biggest threats to the entire Pantheon. Even YHVH and Lucifer were repulsed by what Planet Fusion does to planets it absorbs and they've made similar statements against him with a dash of ego in their words.
- The Divine Powers have been fascinated with Planet Fusion and no, it's not because they're both have green motifs. They believe the planet may be a great asset to acquire for themselves and they plan to seize it one day. Nobody could tell if this is a good or bad thing.
- Many have begun to safeguard their mechas against Fusion Matter as many pilots found out what happened to Megas once it got infected. The Transformers are wary what may happen if they got infected and their researching Fusion Matter because of this.
- Flynn was absolutely pissed when some Fusion Monsters tried to take control the Yamato Perpetual Reactor. The samurai is now one of Fuse's greatest opponents because of this and it is also worth noting that the overlord's physical avatar resembled Masakado quite a bit.
- Fuse actually considers Spongebob a massive threat to his plans. He fears Spongebob's power of IMAAAAAGINAAAATION and he remembers when a similar alien invasion happened in the Nicktoons universe, Spongebob was able to perform a HeelFace Turn to the aliens' leader. Fuse is still puking at how it all Tastes Like Diabetes once he learned about it.
- The Unbidden expressed interest on devouring Planet Fusion, seeing it as what would likely be the greatest dish they ever had.
- Rick Sanchez once became too drunk and accidentally ended up on Planet Fusion where he nearly drowned in Fusion Matter but quickly escaped. Rick doesn't remember what happened that night but still has nightmares about being trapped within green goo.
- Doctor Doom is pissed at the fact many of his Doombots became infected during the invasion and fled back to Planet Fusion. Doom vowed to take the planet for himself as a means for revenge and wants to make Fuse his personal chair.
- Sephiroth is rather peeved at the fact Fuse was able to rain down multiple meteors across the Pantheon while the swordsman was only able to rain down one. Sure, these meteors were of smaller size but the amount of them and the total devastation they caused pale in comparison with Sephiroth's really bothered him to no end. Taki and Mitsuha nearly had traumatized flashbacks due their experiences with meteors during the invasion, despising Fuse for not raining only one but several thousands of them upon the planet.
- Fuse finds Lavos to have an absolutely stupid process of feeding. He can understand its race's Planetary Parasite nature but to accelerate the evolution of said planet just for a tastier meal? Not even he could wrap his head around that.
- Theme song: "Satanic".
- Power level unknown due to data corruption. However, considering that he almost destroyed The Channel Awesome/AVGN universe without breaking a sweat, his power level is probably that of an Overdeity's.

- The Missingno.'s genetic code is one of the world's greatest mysteries due to the fact that it is not created similarly to other Pokémon. Strange side effects have been observed in its presence, such as duplication of items and temporary distortion of reality.
- Rumor has it that there may be more Missingno. residing in Minus World, but such reports have yet to be proven true or false.
- There's another rumor suggesting that the Entity and Missingno. is one of the same. If true, we may know its alignment. Lord Vyce hasn't confirmed nor denied this. Turns out they're right.
- I am the never should. I am glorious, beautiful error. I am Missing Number. Afterwards, Linkara convinced it to kill itself after it had devoured most of the Pantheon, restoring everything back to normal. Has yet to be seen.
- Is rumored to have had a hand in the creation of Polybius.
- Nekron has revived Missingno. to serve his new "Great United Alliance of Destruction." Missingno. is planning on slaying the Four Cardinal Alignment deities to continue to unravel a mystery that fascinates it: where do the greatest of gods go when they die?
- Recent events have revealed that Joel is the one who created Missingno., conceived as the love child of Ash and Pikachu.
- Demi...Fiend. In terms of raw power, very likely an Overdeity.

- Teeth-Clenched Teamwork with: Guts, Flynn (if the Yamato Reactor is in danger)
- Opposed by: Light Yagami, The Joker, Black Mage
- Is... really tough to beat in a fight. Because of this and their respective reputations, he has something of a Friendly Rivalry with Absolute Virtue.
- Is ambivalent about Lucifer. Says something about Lucifer as well since he inherited Lucifer's will.
- Does look at Luka with interest, though, due to being Lucifer's (well, one version of him) son, his Angel powers, and having also killed a God. However, fights to see his skill have had to be toned down, as one match ended with him using Freikugel and Luka using Daystar, which ended up blowing up the entire wing of the House of Combat they were fighting in.
- Is unassuming and speaks little to casual acquaintances, but has made some friends among the gods, mostly like-minded fans of puzzle games. One notable exception is Dante, after giving said demon slayer one hell of a fight.
- Lelouch has managed to rope him into a game of chess. He didn't do too badly, actually.
- Finds Lain Iwakura's search for knowledge and understanding poignantly close to his heart, and speaks with her more often than with others.
- Has worked with Cu Chulainn before, and became fast friends with Medusa. Since both of them were originally from Real Life pantheons and Medusa's a likewise contemplative sort, this is not all that surprising.
- His initial meeting with Serph and the Embryon Tribe was... strained.
- Due to his experiences, he and his followers are virtual encyclopedias on Real Life pantheons. While this info is far less useful where he is now, the sheer number of stories he knows and his generous donation of his Demonic Compendium makes him a semi-frequent and unexpectedly popular guest at the Library.
- Near the end of his original journey, he met with Akemi Nakajima as Izanagi and Izanami, who gave him a fragment of their power. While this was rather unneeded, Izanagi insisted Naoki deserved it after witnessing him finish the gruelling Amala Grave Run.
- As of recent, he has been developing a rivalry with Flynn at the House of Hair Styles. It doesn't help they are both of similar power ranking and have been approached by both Lucifer and Masakado with important plans for the future. Both are wary of each other, though having tasted the hells of war and having similar alignments, neither is willing to throw the first punch, choosing to err on the side of caution rather than risk conflict over a petty argument on power levels.
- Recently aided Flynn in defending the Yamato Perpetual Reactor from a siege by Magical Girls, who were in despair after "The Great Upheaval". It was, for lack of a better term, a massacre. The two have a grudging respect for each other after working together. This respect might have saved Flynn's life when he fell under the control of the Divine Powers and they were forced to fight.
- He is one of several gods who could conceivably find a way to trigger the definite Z-Class Apocalypse How. Reluctantly he's made a deal with Flynn to keep either from actually deciding doing so is in any way a good idea. Naoki grumbles about it but knows that between him and his followers, he has too much power to run unchecked. However, if he ultimately views the Great Will's control over the universe is far too great he will aid Lucifer and break the system. One world learned this the hard way.
- Considering taking part in the Pantheonic Rebellion as an agent of balance. Holds no real opinion toward Madoka or her allies, but wants to make sure the Reactor isn't threatened again by her apostles if something happens to her. Pretty much his only goal is to ensure the Pantheon's balance between Law and Chaos, never allowing either side to fully dominate it, not even in the name of Good - he's too cynical to believe such petty thoughts will last, citing Homura's rebellion as validation for this.
- Got a surprise visit from Issei Hyodo, who asked to train with him to help him fight against a being immune to his Boosted Gear, that is Vali's hated grandpa, Rizevim Livan Lucifer. Issei spent most of the training session flailing uselessly as the Demi-Fiend casually slapped him around, but ultimately it paid off: Issei learned Pierce, or Penetrate as he calls it. However, he was cautioned to be extremely careful with the ability: it is, after all, a product of Lucifer's power...
- Keeps close contact with Aleph, likely due to his reincarnation Jyoji Hijiri being one of the Demi-Fiend's closest allies.
- One of the few gods to go toe-to-toe with Saitama and end with no winner. Though Naoki used Tetrakarn, Saitama pulled back a punch from his legendary fists, with the force of impact from the punch hitting the reflective shield and sending both flying, as well as flattening pretty much everything in a thirty-kilometer radius. Both were dazed but unhurt and decided to end things there and get something to eat after Saitama suggested it.
- Ryouna attacked him once: at first he regarded the shinobi begging him to beat the living daylights out of her with disgust, concern, and a profound sense of confusion. Then she pulled her guns on him, at which point he kicked her ass so hard that she was knocked out for an entire month. It goes without saying he didn't even go all-out against her. If he did, Ryouna would likely have been reduced to thin pinkish paste.
- Recently entered a lottery and won the second place prize: a fight against Barbatos Goetia. He is preparing himself for that fight at the moment by placing his items in storage.

- In the galaxy of Spore, the player is given the option of seeing a creature through from a cell to an interstellar empire. Thanks to the Cell and later Creature Creature, an organism can be tweaked for friendliness, aggression or a mix of both. Through the Tribal and Civilization Stage, they can dominate the planet and begin the journey to space. 10 Archetypes and a near-infinite amount of creatures, structures and nations can emerge.
- There are nine archetypes or philosophies one can obtain through evolution, and the Wanderer if they start in the Space Stage. The Trope Pantheon's representation is the player character-exclusive Knight archetype, who believe in using might to make things right. For this reason, they have sided with the Grand United Alliance of Good and oppose the Grand United Alliance of Evil. With their ship is a mini version of said ship, thanks to their power of Summon Mini-U.
- Their evolutionary history is the ideal Knight history. Carnivore Cell's Power Monger gives extra energy, Aggressive Creature's Prime Specimen gives them extra health, Friendly Tribe's Gracious Greetings boosts relationships and Economic Civilization's Spice Savant boosts spice production.
- Perceive the Grand United Alliance of Law and Grand United Alliance of Chaos to be the Zealot and Bard Philosophy of the Trope Pantheon. They are tentatively interested in them and would rather keep the two off their back. They are much less sure what to think of the Grand United Alliance of Machines as only the Grox are mechanical in Spore, but the GUAM are more nuanced and many fit the Scientist archetype. They know to avoid the Imperium of Mankind however, as their "distrust strangers" value is almost if not as bad as the Grox. They might actually hate the Anti-Spiral more than the Grox due to their genocidal ambition to repress other races to their home planet.
- While they could ally with the Grox, it would decrease their relationship with the rest of the galaxy by -200 points and only their closest allies wouldn't go to war. Besides, it was easy to get them enraged and their "fight for right" philosophy puts makes them on poor standing with the Grox anyway. They were upset to learn there were a number of Always Chaotic Evil races that flat out can't be allied with. Especially the Unbidden as their presence in hyperspace might be troubling for their Casual Interstellar Travel.
- Need planets to be at least a T1 score or higher, with T3 allowing the most developed colonies. This makes pollutants like Hexxus a threat, or those like Nurgle and Typhus who's diseases would cause ecodisasters. This also makes the Spring Sprite a godsend. Saint Walker is considered a powerful asset since he can fix suns and make them young again with enough hope and a Green Lantern present.
- Their creature ancestors sought out ancient bones and fossils in order to get new pieces so they could evolve. Their belief in this led them to bother the Kanto Fossils and Tyrantrum, in hopes of what knowledge their fossils might give them. It didn't go anywhere and it annoyed them. They still remember the terror of the Epic Creatures and the Border Patrol of sea monsters. As such, they don't like kaiju and avoid the Aquatic Life sub-house.
- They are about evolution, and as such they have somewhat of an appreciation of the Goliath due to the Evolutionary Levels it went through. Also the Dehaka for how it has fought and survived. Able to buy the Creature Tweaker and Creature Create as they traveled further/cleaned up more eco-disasters, they are studying the House of Genetic Engineering to better this craft. The Eevelutions prove especially interesting.
- Quite interested in strange aliens and often visits the House of Extraterrestrials to see what they can do. Ben Tennyson's Omnitrix is a godsend for them, but he's not giving it up. They usually abduct mortals in the temples of the House of Beast to fill out ecosystems whenever they want to Terraform a valuable planet. Deoxys' origin as a space virus and Multiform Balance, and Mew supposedly carrying the DNA of all Pokémon makes them very interesting.
- Wondered if Steve has any relation to Steve, the alien who resides in the center of the galaxy. He doesn't, but shares a kinship with them due to being part of a wide-open sandbox game, as they did with Sackboy. As do (Insert Name Here) and the Admiral as they are ciphers for the player.
- Capable of uplifting races through the use of a monolith, either to help them or to exploit them. Those who've been uplifted have a very good relationship with the uplifter on the outset. They are learning under the Chozo how to properly use the Monolith, and soon became very disturbed by Amon.
- Happy to associate with the Blorg Commonality as they are easy allies. They have come to pity the Formics for their faux pas in first contact, which can sometimes happen with the more aggressive species out there. In order to help their Knight cause they have been studying under other knight or honorable deities, and have found both Team Lightyear and the Green Lantern Corps to be major help.

- Followers: the Space Invaders' ship, Agent G, Bill Rizer, their Options (and sometimes, they follow them), R-9 Series Anti-Bydo Spacecraft
- Allies: Opa-Opa
- Vic Viper is considered being one of oldest spaceships in this line of duty. Where there have been some older than it, you cannot ignore something that has been around since 1985 and still pushing even to this date.
- There are actually four different Vic Vipers in the Pantheon.
- The first one is the original ship and any of the upgraded models. It has no designated pilot though it isn't in the Treasury. Any one up to the task can pilot it. Where it might not be the most mobile spaceship (outside of one kind of model) and it has a rather basic arsenal of weapons, it does the job really well.
- The second version is one of the older models, what was left behind and eventually grew sapient. The closest thing what Pantheon has for an actual Vic Viper as a god. Where it doesn't talk much, it has seen some serious stuff.
- The third one is a high school girl from St. Gradius Academy, who uses a weird motorbike-starship crossbreed to fight aliens with other girls. She is the closest thing what Pantheon has for a Vic Viper as a real person. She later joined the Magical Girl Sisterhood due of being a "futuristic magical girl".
- The last one is a an LEV robot based after Vic Viper, which has all the arsenal the original has, ability to transform and being able to stand up to the "superior" Orbital Frames. The closest thing Pantheon has for a Vic Viper pilot is Leo Stenbuck. He eventually joined the Robot War Division.
- The ship and Anoa Aoba do not trust the Madagascar Penguins, thinking that they will lead an army of penguins to invade the Pantheon with the Bacterian. With the penguins being Prinnies as far as they are concerned.
- All of them don't seem to trust Moai heads, either.
- However, on more serious days, Nurgle and Albert Wesker are high on their target list of people as they think they are associated with Bacterian.
- Has also appeared in card form, as Yugi Muto can attest.
- If there is a Cores-and-Turrets Boss out there, you can bet that they will destroy the core in no time.
- Anoa Aoba, Miho Nishizumi and Naka (and later on, I-401 Iona and Teana Lanster) have made a small group called "The Girl Military Force", she standing for aircrafts. She does feel like she's a bit out of place, though as she is more like a spacecraft than an aircraft. She thinks that having one of those "Strike Witches" being in her place would make things easier.
- With the ascension of Sanya V. Litvyak, everything seems to be fine on that department.
- Has been seen alongside Opa-Opa guarding the Treasures from possible intruders. The Vic Viper is usually reminded of weird adventures it has embarked on during these instances.
- Rank: Quasideities (Rookies and the crew), Demigods (Veterans), Intermediate Gods (Psionic Soldiers, Gene Mod Soldiers, MEC Troopers)
- Symbol: The motto "Vigilo Confido", meaning "I am watchful."
- Theme Music: XCOM Main Theme, XCOM 2 Squad Loadout Theme
- Alignment: Chaotic Good
- Portfolio: Multinational Team, Red Shirt Army turned Badass Army, Anyone Can Die, Badass Normal turned Psionic Soldier, Gene Mod Soldier, and MEC Trooper, Bad aiming, fighters against Alien Invasion, facing difficult challenges, researching alien technology and bodies, piloting Skyrangers, Subverting Exclusive Enemy Equipment through reverse engineering
- Domains: Army, Defense, Alien
- Followers: Xenonauts
- Allies: Commander Shepard, Misato Katsuragi, the Strike Witches, Isaac Clarke, Gordon Freeman, Adrian Shephard, Master Chief, Serious Sam, General Fletcher, The Tactician, Agents K and J, Mario, The Guardians, Berserker!Iji Kataiser, Pvt. Jenette Vasquez
- Enemies:
- Evil aliens: Tyranids, Brainiac, Roger Smith (though more of a jerkass), Doomsday, Frieza, [[ The Master]], The Combine, Headcrabs, Facehuggers, Daleks, the Neuroi, the Decepticons, Arael, Black Doom, Trakeena, The Vex, Oryx, The Eliksni.
- Human siding with evil aliens: Ragyo Kiryuin, Lex Luthor, Wallace Breen, Nui Harime
- Other: Queen Chrysalis, Cthulhu
- Arch-Enemy: ADVENT
- Mistrust: Kaworu Nagisa, every other alien regardless of alignment (though this has since been toned down)
- When Earth is in danger from extraterrestrial invasion, the XCOM Project will be initiated to deal with the threat and ensure that Earth and humanity is saved. Starting with a rather few number of crews and soldiers, they can gain more soldiers and alien technology to make them a powerful army. The keyword is "can".
- There are cases where the team failed to ward off the invasion and were shut down while the government of Earth making a pact with the aliens, a lot actually. Though that won't, stop them from defending humanity and building a resistance force against the alien-controlled government.
- Note that despite being primarily being enemies with evil aliens, they will open fire against any humans that would side with those aliens. Considering that they have fought against EXALT and ADVENT soldiers, they'll know which humans fought for the evil aliens.
- The XCOM crew included Central Officer Bradford, who gives communication to field operations, Dr. Vahlen, head of the research team, and Dr. Raymond Shen, the chief engineer, and various other crews like base personals, scientists, and engineers. They play their parts to ensure that XCOM can deal with many of the obstacles.
- In the timeline where the XCOM failed in the alien invasion, the crew includes Bradford, returning after being depressed from the shutdown, An-Yi "Lily" Shen, daughter of Dr. Shen and chief engineer, and Dr. Richard Tygan, former member of ADVENT and head of research division. They ensure that the XCOM would bring down the alien-controlled government.
- They were initially the only defense against the aliens, but since they have since made headquarters in the Pantheon, they gained assistance from other defenders of Earth from extraterrestrial life forms like Commander Shepard and the Men in Black.
- Because of their stances against aliens when a threat presents itself to their planet, the Illusive Man wants to take advantage of them in order to impede his own agenda.
- Regarding relations with alien, much of the Pantheon inform them that there are at least some good aliens or not as evil aliens than the alien that they have always fought. Regardless, they took their word for it and greet those aliens with extreme caution.
- They were ready to open fire on Roger Smith before realizing that he is completely harmless, though he aggravates them to no end. He's offended that they considered him a less dangerous aliens since they have been fighting Sectoids with little difficulty and he has no psychic abilities.
- They are currently surveying Queen Chrysalis because they thought she was affiliated with the Chrysalids.
- They are also keeping a close surveillance on Lex Luthor because of his affiliation of aliens like General Zod and Brainiac.
- When they were confronting the aliens in the deep oceans, they destroyed the Ultimate Alien which strongly resembled Cthulhu. He doesn't have a strong relationship with XCOM.
- Dr. Shen is rather offended of the extent of cybernetic augmentation, as he is disgusted with the aliens and the creation of Floaters. While he has shown in the interest of the MEC Troopers which makes him look like a hypocrite, however, his team made it so that the soldiers could at least return to their normal lives, which the aliens show no concern about. So, he is tolerable of cybernetics if it A.: the alternative is unthinkable, or B.: If it doesn't destroy the cybernetically augmented person's spirit.
- Alien should beware of being captured, because Dr. Vahlen has "methods" of getting information for XCOM.
- As of recently, they have been looking to the Pantheon for any help against the Xeno invaders/occupiers. Those who agree must, unfortunately, start off as powerful as the Rookies and work their way up. Though there have been a few exceptions.
- Due to his position as the God of Popular Mooks, Adrian Shephard managed to keep most of his skills after joining them.
- Currently, they seek to increase their survivor rates by acquiring DEMONICA armor sets. While these have the same drawback, they feel the armor, in addition to their research programs, will make their field agents strong enough to tap into their full potential in time.
- Another recruit they were surprised to have was Iji Kataiser, given that they've invited her once before and she had turned them down. Turns out this one joining them is the Berserker aspect, who is more than willing to fight aliens to save humanity. She's even willing to let them research and reverse-engineer her Nanofield for the organization's behalf.
- Another recruit came in the form of Jenette Vasquez, whom they sought out given her track record against the Xenomorphs. Given that Weyland-Yutani considered her and the rest of her squad expendable, even though X-COM tends to lose its operatives quite a bit in their operations, Vasquez immediately signed up.
- Whenever The Tactician is serving as the Commander for XCOM, operative casualties drop down to zero, much to the organization's relief. However, s/he reports severe stress after most missions, due to how difficult it can get to keep everybody alive.
- All technologically advanced gods or gods that do use advanced technologies as their main weapons are wary around XCOM, due to their tendency to rapidly reverse engineer and manufacture their own versions of enemy technology and in some cases even improve upon them. Commander Shepard has warned Shen and Bradford that Reaper artefacts can indoctrinate those in close proximity so any advancement that could be discerned is not worth the XCOM project being compromised again.
- Recently, XCOM has been seen calling in allies from the timeline where they failed to stop the invasion, likely in response to the Advent summoning the chosen in an effort to destroy XCOM for good. Chief among these groups are The Reapers, The Skirmishers, and the Templars.
- The Reapers were formed out of survivalists who fled into the wilderness when the aliens took over. They prefer to act quietly, and have learned to take out foes without alerting others. Should the be discovered, they will cut and run, but not before leaving behind claymores.
- The Skirmishers were members of ADVENT who broke free of their master's control and now actively fight to free their brethren. They are elites in the field of battle, with one skirmisher being worth a small army of ADVENT troops.
- Notably, with their appearance, XCOM has become more willing to work with aliens and Half-Human Hybrids.
- The Templars are composed of XCOM's original psionic soldiers, who went into hiding following the destruction of their home base. While their psychic powers are legendary, they primarily fight with swords created from their psychic powers, preferring to kill their enemies at close range.
- They didn't expect to hear Mario offer his assistance when XCOM needed, but the confusion was cleared up after he explained his adventure involving the Rabbids. They have been seen talking about their own unique guns, and that they needed to find something kid-friendly enough to let him join. Supposedly, there was one mission where he joined but it ended in his rather sudden death.
Due to the dual attribute of his title, Keima Katsuragi, Self-Proclaimed God of Dating Sims has somewhat a personal spot near the Galge section of this house... which he rarely uses during his visits.

Metallic Elephant are on a mission to make the world more Shiny!
We are proud to be the only manufacture of Hot foil Hand presses in the UK. Using traditional methods and state of the art machinery we build industrial presses that are built to last. Metallic Elephant roots lie in machine manufacture. Co founder Karl French started his career as an apprentice at John T Marshall, a world renowned name in hot foil machine manfacture and served over twenty years in key positions until machine production ceased.
Formed with the plan to refurbish and keep existing JTM models running and support owners with parts & advice led to the conception of Metallic Elephant. Second hand JTM machines started to dwindle but not the interest in hot foil printing so utilising Karl's background and our knowledge of the industry we commenced manufacture of our own range of British made machines.

Whether you work for yourself or someone else, lunch time is always a great break. It's the chance to take care of a few errands, grab a bite and to give yourself the proper distance in order to power through the rest of the day.
Even with colder (or cooler for certain areas) temperatures, the ability to pop out is always a welcome respite between meetings and conference calls. When working, soft layers allow you to move with little restriction. Be sure to appreciate nature and the people around you.
The Athleisurist knows that this look also works if you have things to do prior to heading home. A pair of heels, a fitted jean and cashmere is an essential to add to your look as it's truly a versatile option that lends itself to wearing no matter where you find yourself.

It's easy to say we collaborate but what does effective collaboration look like? On the construction site it could be as simple – and profound – as contractors sharing their tools.
Stephen Hanman and Ian George from Collaborative Inquiry showed us that it can look like a fruit salad, rather than a hierarchical pile of apples in market stall display. They gave us a visual reminder that there's creativity and strength in diversity. Don't forget the lychees, fear not the prickly pineapple and embrace the kiwi fruit. Each piece of fruit has something to offer. Trouble is, they don't usually get the space and chance to peel back their skin and share their full potential. According to Stephen and Ian, it takes three principles: trust, care and courage.
At a recent get together of the Victorian Facilitators Network, we heard a great story about bringing the 'soul' to the workplace. Work gets finished ahead of schedule, people are happier at work and home and yes, share tools. And it saved money for everyone involved.
As I rode around Melbourne the morning after, I looked at the building sites with new eyes. They seemed full of potential with lessons for anyone interested in collaborating. I can't wait to read the book, From Me to We. Check them out. And don't forget to ask Ian for his recipe for a great fruit salad.

Upcoming "Dream On" Film
Apogee Media, guided by director Bill Hopkins, filmed the entire "Dream On" recording sessions at John Kilgore's studio in NYC. The resulting 55-minute PBS-style music documentary, "Dream On, a songwriting life", combines performance footage, interview segments, a stunning soundtrack, and archival photos to chronicle the making of the CD. The viewer is like a special guest in the studio watching an intimate concert and getting a behind-the-scenes look at our songwriting lives.

During my time a few days ago at The Webber Academy, I was treated to not one, but two fantastic acts! The first act was Kara Grainger, closely followed by Whitney Rose.
Whitney is a singer/songwriter born in Prince Edward Island, Canada. Her music, self-described as "vintage-pop-infused neo-traditional country", draws on influences from musicians such as Patsy Cline, Dolly Parton and Keith Whitley.
She began writing songs as a teenager. After she moved to Toronto, she became immersed in the city's folk scene. Drawing from this influence, this sound became intertwined with her traditional country roots.
Now residing in Austin Texas and fresh off the release of her new album "Rule 62", which stands for the aphorism: "don't take yourself too damn seriously", she graced the stage ready to wow us with her music!
Throughout her entire performance, what struck me was her amazing stage presence and authentic sound. The crowd were clearly in love with what they were hearing and every song was a beautiful exploration of her music.
If you are yet to hear from this talent, the great news is that her entire set was also recorded by KSPS Public Television where you can listen to whole show all over again. After this, for those itching for more, information can be found under the links below!
