[Census] What Pantheons are most popular in your game.

In my group we've got 3 Aesir and a Deva, so add one each to the tallies for Thor, Loki, Uller, and Ganesha. The players are all male (as are their characters, being a fairly new group), but only one of them is actually a powerhouse (three guesses who); the others have taken more support(ish) roles. Interestingly enough, for all the Thorsson's physical power, the character who really melts face when the chips are down is actually the Scion of Loki. Between Chaos, Magic, and a focus on Epic Wits and Manipulation, he can shut most opponents down and kill, taunt, or dismiss them at his leisure. He recently got his hands on a Darkness relic as well, and is ambitiously aspiring to become the Norse God of Darkness before his older brother eats the sun.

That being said, we *are* playing a Ragnarok-focused campaign in an entirely different time period (the Viking Age, ~850AD), and the Scion of Ganesha is there at the behest of his father to see if he can help the Aesir by using his knowledge of Samsara to help avert, or at least mitigate the effects of, Ragnarok. Odin is, of course, hoping to draw all or part of another pantheon into the inevitable conflict, while Ganesha is genuinely concerned about the effects this event could have on the World, and hopes his son will be able to find a solution (or at least help contain it to Aesir lands). The Scion of Loki, on the other hand, is just looking out for himself (and, to a lesser extent, his dad) in the hopes that he can preempt any pitfalls and swing any Fate-related windfalls their way.

Currently, my group has an Aesir scion, a Japanese scion, and a Celtic scion. Vidar, Susano-o, and Lugh respectively.

All male players, all male characters. New players, new campaign, so there's not really a whole lot to say about this just yet. Another player will be joining shortly, I'll post what they play when they finally roll up.

In the game I'm playing in we have Six characters:

Son of Zeus (myself, playing off the generational conflict theme and the prophecy of Zeus being killed by his son.)
Daughter of Dionysus (The player loves Dionysus' myths)
Son of Poseidon (Because Poseidon first gave out horses and now provides excellent cars.)
Son of Heimdall (Fondness for the Aesir and Heimdall in particular.)
Son of the Dagda (Because the Tuatha de Dannan is way too full of warrior gods, according to him, was originally going to play a scion of The Morrigan but it did not fit the personality.)
Son of Bastet (Because she made a good patron for a black-ops soldier)

So that's:
Three Dodekatheon
One Aesir
One Presedjet
One Tuatha de Dannan

I have 2 groups which are both playing in effectively the same campaign, allowing us to accomodate scheduling problems..

Group 1
2 Greeks, Scions of Ares and Artemis(a rejected Scion or Ares)
1 Aesir, Scions of Baldur
1 Tuatha, Scion of Ogham
1 Loa, Scion of Baron Samedi

Group 2
1 Aesir, Scion of Thor
1 Greek, Scion of Aphrodite
1 Egyptian, Scion of Anubis
1 Chinese, Scion of Xi.. something..

Pantheons : Aesir and Dodekatheon 

Parents : Odin, Zues, Thor, Heracules, Tyr, Ares, Vulcan.

Two Aesirs: Balder and Thor.
Two Pesedjet: Horus and Nephtys.
Two Dodekatheon: Ares and Poseidon.

I am gonna bump this thread, since we are discussing what people play/use in their games.  I updated my numbers to include a new Scion of Guan Yu who was added. As such, it now looks like this (again, these corrected numbers are on page one also, and all my other numbers updated too)

I've run 2 games with 6 players so far.

Dodekatheon 6 (3 chose this each time)
Aesir 6 (3 chose this each time)

Characters = Male (all)
Players = Male (all)
Parent = Male 8, Female 4


As I've said before My players only know the Norse and greek legends well enough to feel comformable playing those two right now.

Now I myself have played in other people's games 10 times now. I myself have played Dodekatheon 5 times, Aesir 3 times, and CB/Japanese 2 twice. Scions of Zues, Odin, and Monkey King. We did not have offical info on the CB though, so we used the Japanese info/purview. My Scion of Monkey King was offically a member of the japanese pantheon, under the Monkey King's japanese alias. My scion was a Martial Artist name Goku (storyteller named me).
Edit: I Forgot = I also played a Scion of Ryujin. My Plan was to become a Dragon-god myself as I became Demigod to God level. That game only lasted 2 sessons however, as the ST was shipped off to Iraq. I liked this character alot. I just may have to bring him back as NPC in my upcoming game set for early next year.

Here's what I have in my game:

Scion of Ares - Female
Scion of Baron Samedi - Male
Scion of Guan Yu - Male
Scion of Sun Wukong - Male

I've mentioned this is passing before, but I thought I'd mention the details this time (since I never can remember Nuwa's name, since the Celestial Bureacracy is the one of the nine pantheons I'm least familiar with from prior reading):

1.Dodekatheon, female Scion of Artemis;
2. Aesir (though he'd carefully remind you its Vanir in his case), male Scion of Freyr;
3. Celestial Bureaucracy, female Scion of Nuwa;
4. Amatsukami, male Scion of Susano-o;
5. Tuatha de Danaan, male Scion of Bridget;
6. Pesedjet, male Scion of Bastet

The Scions of Artemis and Susano-o are the heavy hitters of the group (ranged and upclose respectively), the Scion of Nuwa is the thinker and occultist for the group, the Scion of Freyr is their face man, the scion of Bastet their thief and intrusion specialist, and the scion of Bridget is more or less the group's pinch-hitter.

Alright.  We actually kicked off the first game and the roster changed.

For whatever reason, all of my players chose to go with the Greek Pantheon.

Scion of Ares - Mubatu (can't remember the last name ), a freedom fighter from the Ivory Coast fighting against "blood diamond" oppression.

Scion of Artemis- Artume Hunt, a former free-lance espionage agent who went rogue and led a political revolt in Bolivia.  Also a medical doctor.

Scion of Dionysus- Donnie Lace, a millionaire socialite womanizer from Greece who got his money by marrying the widow of shipping tycoon.  She died months after their marriage, unable to keep up with his Epic Stamina.

Of the still-active characters in our online game, we have Scions of the following:

Amaterasu
Ogma
Loki
Uller
