| − | {{Community Lore}}
| |
| − | === Background ===
| |
| − | Pantheocide was born into an isolated community in the southern Caucasus. The locals claim descent from the Scythian culture, and celebrate what the Greeks deemed their "barbarian" traditions such as bareback horseriding, squirrel-fur hats and god-slaying.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Like all the first-born daughters of her lineage, Pantheocide has been trained from birth to kill any available gods by any available means. She has spent years honing her body, her instincts and indeed her many swords for this single purpose. Sadly her legendary ancestors were so formidable that they had driven the region's deities to extinction by around 300BCE.

| − | When she came of age Pantheocide was faced with a choice between leaving her homeland for new hunting grounds or, as her mother Participle strongly suggested, just dropping the whole god thing and retraining as a dental hygienist. Hearing stories of Blaseball, and of its teams' epic struggle against [[the Shelled One]], she made the arduous journey across the breadth of Asia to join her nearest ILB team and thus realise her full potential. She was only mildly annoyed to find that they expected her to play Blaseball first.

| − | === With the Tokyo Lift ===
| |
| − | Pantheocide is skilled in the use of broadswords, longswords, shortswords, narrowswords, claymores, halberds, axes, pikes, Bohemian earspoons, kukris, clubs, mallets, bludgeons and blats. She nevertheless demanded assignment to the pitching rotation in order to develop her skills in ranged combat. She says that it is "surprisingly difficult" to deliver a fastball while also carrying seven different melee weapons, but that "you gotta be prepared".

| − | | |
| − | Since settling in Tokyo she has launched a YouTube channel to which she uploads weapon reviews, call-outs and god-killing tips for several hundred thousand avid subscribers. Her most-watched video is a twelve-hour sponsored Minecraft stream collecting funds for Japanese Blittle League teams (specifically: to equip them with leather armour, two-handed battleaxes and training mannequins in the shape of popular Hellenic deities). In a recent vlog series she introduced fans to [[Frogslayer]], a pet frog which she repeatedly referred to as "my moist-skinned god-killing apprentice". Pantheocide likes the music of the [[Seattle Garages]] and writes self-insertion Plercy Jlackson fic described by Ao3 users as "harrowing" and by Dlisney Publishing as "legally actionable".

| − | She has to date killed "nearly one" god but did once spray-paint the words ''nerd lol'' on a statue of Poseidon. She told her YouTube audience that the resulting fine and lifetime ban from every museum in Tokyo were "totally worth it".
