Erhh, is the rest of the party cool with this?

Don't. Just don't. This is pure 100% bullcrap. Get over yourself.
Your character is dead; he was betrayed. You were not. You're just being a jerk to the rest of the players by bringing in a character who has NO REASON to be against the party. The rest of the group would be well within their rights to throw you out of the game for such blatant dickery.
Grow up and get over it.

Well, this is a "campaign over, don't come back" waiting to happen.

A path to the Dark Side this is.
End in tragedy this will.
Walk away you should.
And perhaps not play Chaotic Evil in the future should you.

rather than a TPK do you have any other suggestions for how I can get a resolutionI get that this is childish and such but me and another chaotic evil player have had plans to wipe the party if it meat pleasing our gods and my cleric gave everything to the demon lord of wrath.They were for killing other party members until the risk was they're characters and I think they may expect it.Don't. Just don't. This is pure 100% bullcrap. Get over yourself.

Quit the game. You are clearly not looking for the same kind of fun as most players, and unless you want to create a reputation as the kind of player people should avoid at all cost, it's best to just quit and go do something else. Maybe an online shooter?

That character is dead. Move on to a new character. Why would Dave the Barbarian care one whit about Tom the Cleric's motivations and loyalties? Unless you are an odious meta-gamer of pretty much the worst sort, the answer should be that Dave doesn't, he has his own goals in life.
I see this is the consensus, I was actually chaotic good my last game and now have sided with demon lords. Do you have any other ways I could get a resolution without a TPK
You were Chaotic GOOD, and you were worshiping VENUS?
I guess I could see Venus being Chaotic Neutral.
My bigger question is why PLUTO is associated with Demon Lords; Pluto realistically is Lawful Neutral - the guys was EASILY the most level-headed of all the Olympian deities, and the worst thing he did was kidnap Persephone (and thereafter stayed COMPLETELY FAITHFUL to her, which is a lot more than can be said for his two brothers...)
Honestly, it looks like your whole party (Yourself included) may be the dickish ones, generally trying to kill off other players is a... poor way to allow everyone to have fun. The Rogue was well within his rights to turn your plan back on you like he did (Did ya try converting him? :P ).
Personally? I'd find another group, this looks like a ball of stress and drama that should be avoided.

So you're upset that your character got killed, when his plot to kill another character got spun on him and resulted in his death? With the other party members being complicit in it with the person you had plotted to kill?
Sounds like your whole party is full of dicks who don't know how to play a cooperative game and foster a fun environment.
Now, with harsh words said. Why don't you go back to your group and apologize for what your were plotting to do which forced the player of the target character to react in the same fashion setting of this whole set of events. Then, why don't you ask if you all can continue the game with PVP being off the table as an option. That way everyone knows it, and realizes they have to resolve things in some other fashion in the game.
You current game dynamic just sounds incredibly unhealthy to me.

All the Olympian gods are dicks to various degrees. But Pluto pretty much just did his own thing and ignored the rest. He played by the rules, he was generally fair (paradise for good people, bad people... well, he was creative in his punishments). As was noted, the only time he did anything that could be construed as evil that I can think of was the whole Persephone deal.
He's definitely not chaotic or evil. I could see him placed as LN or N, and could see an argument for LG even (though that one's a bit of a stretch).
In some versions Persephone goes with him willingly because her mother is so busy tending to the earth that she's lonely and Pluto is the first god/person/being that is interested in her. The nymphs that spend time with her only did so because her mother asked. I'd agree with neutral for him, but why is Venus good? She married Hephaestus and then slept with Mars, even for chaotic good that seems wrong. She's more chaotic neutral.
Alchemists are good on damage and they rarely miss since the bomb hits touch AC. I would go with the Grenadier archetype. Summoners look like fun and many people speak of the brokenness of the synthesist summoner.
I don't have a group that could do this and someone not be butt hurt but you I guess do. So have fun with the bloodshed.
Best of luck
Alright, stop telling the OP that his party is composed of dicks. We all agree that this group should try a more cooperative approach but allowing PVP to occur naturally is not badwrongfun. I feel like stilted parties that don't ever have conflict "because reasons" are far more unbelievable than this party is...can't find the right word for it, but you get the idea.
Now, OP, seriously, let it go, stop trying to kill the other player, they might have been paying along so as to not rock the boat, but you're just being vindictive at this point. Don't stay DMing for a while, by the way.
Just build a cool pc and have fun without trying to kill the party.
You might in fact surprise the party by playing a helpful guy.

I mentioned it, because that was the argument in a Dresden Files Book, pretty close to exactly what he said actually. Was a good book, and a good moment. :)

I must ask, which of the following two options would you rather take given the consequences listed with each respectively?
1. Pursue revenge in hopes of causing a TPK, thereby ending the game and possibly resulting in you being banned from further games as well as a lot of strife between players.
OR
2. Pursue revenge against the play style that fosters this kind of a grudge-bearing environment by playing a character that promotes cooperation between group members. This would likely allow the campaign to move on and for your continued participation at the table in addition to setting you up for more benevolent interactions in the future.
---
The choice is yours, just remember that revenge causes more revenge and that the best way to take revenge on revenge itself is to forgive.
Anything I have to offer here would be flame bait.
