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

Just the one game. Three players. Each character is the same gender as his/her player, and all players and characters are from the United States. Two divine parents aren't in the books, and one is from a non-book pantheon.

Dodekatheon: 2 (Daughter of Alecto & son of Apollo)
Anunnaki: 1 (Son of Enki)

I've played in a game and I'm running a game.

Game I played in:
I was playing a male Scion of Odin
Other players: Female Scion of Bast, Female Scion of Athena, Male Scion of Loki

Game I'm running:
Male Scion of Dionysus
Male Scion of Brigid
Male Scion of Hachiman
Male Scion of Huang Di
Female Scion of Amaterasu
Male Scion of Badarus

So from my neck of the woods, it's:
Aesir: 2
Amatsukami: 2
Atlanteans: 1
Atzlanti: 0
Celestial Bureaucracy: 1
Devatas: 0
Dodekatheon: 2
Loa: 0
Pesedjtet: 1
Tuatha De Danaan: 1

Not many Atzlanti huh?

Doing a quick count I see

Dodekatheon            34
Aesir                         23
Amatsukami              17
Atzlanti                      12
Loa                           11
Pesedjet                    10
Tuatha De Dannan     10
Deva                          09
Celestial Bureaucracy 05

Interesting.  The Dodekatheon and Aesir are dominating. Pesedjet did much worse then I expected.

I think we all expected the dodek and aesir to dominate.  In the west they are by far the most well known, and they also have many pop culture references in the past 20 years. 
I thought the pesedjet thing was weird also, but I thought it was odd when no one i knew would play one.
The GF says that she expected it because the pesedjet are come off as calm and scholorly and in such a bold heroic setting its hard to imagine rolls for them.

In our pen and paper group we have
Male Scion of Dionysus
Female Scion of Hermes
Female Scion of Artemis
Male Scion of Anubis
Male Scion of Thor
Male Scion of Odin
Male Scion of Sun Wukong
Male Scion of .. one of the Amatsukami, I can't remember which.

My online game has
Female Scion of Sun Wukong
Female Scion of Hermes
Female Scion of Bastet
Female Scion of Artemis
Male Scion of Lugh
Male Scion of Michael (unofficial Elohim pantheon)
Male Scion of Loki

Umm... let's see.  My girlfriend and I have done a few different games since the books came out with various roommates and friends.

First game, table top, I don't remember what any of the nationalities were, but let's see...

Male Scion of Ares
Female Scion of Bastet
Female Scion of Erzulie
Male Scion of Dionysus
Female Scion of Set

This game went through some transition and we lost some players, gained some players and then I gave everyone a chance to change into different characters if they wanted to at this point since we were changing things around anyway and we ended up with

The same Female Scion of Bastet
The same Female Scion of Set
Female Scion of Loki
Male Scion of Hades

That game sadly fell apart after a falling out with said roommates (now ex-roommates).

Then I've got an online game over MSN that's been on hiatus because some of the players disappeared, but we're trying to pick it back up now that they're available again.

Male Scion of the Morrigan (NPC)
Female Scion of Thoth
Female Scion of Brigid
Female Scion of Heshon
possible Male Scion of Izanami that might be added but the character's not finished yet.

We have a WW2 based Table Top that happens irregularly on sundays when schedules permit that includes:

Female Scion of Marishiten
Male Scion of Anubis
Female Scion of Kali
Male Scion of Loki (NPC)

And that's not counting the one-on-one games that my girlfriend and I have tried to play just to keep each other entertained and have come and gone over the years since the books came out.  For me, these have included:

Male Scion of the Baron Samedi
Male Scion of Tlazolteotl
Male Scion of Athena

And for her, these have included:

Female Scion of Ryujin
Female Scion of Thor
Female Scion of Manannan mac Lir

Edit:  Oh yeah, and as far as player gender goes... well except for that Scion of Ares at the very top, unless it's my character in the one-on-one games or an NPC for something I'm running, all of these were played by female players.  I've had the odd fortune of only gaming with female gamers with Scion with that one Scion of Ares exception.

Dodekatheon            43
Aesir                         29
Amatsukami              21
Pesedjet                    15
Tuatha De Dannan     14
Atzlanti                      13
Loa                           13
Deva                         10
Celestial Bureaucracy 07

Those number are a bit more what I was expecting to see.  Clearly, I should have held off. ;)

Top 10 Divine Parents

In this Scion Verse, it is considered impertinant and wasteful to have more than one Scion active at a time for any particular god. Some, like Zeus, go around this because he can't keep it in his non-pants. The only other God/desses who had more than one child active at once are Tyr (2), Odin (3), Ares (2), Athena (2), Zeus (The gods only know), Long Mu (3, of which 1 is alive), Vaah (2) and Hermes (2)

Here are the sex of the PCs by Pantheon

Pantheon              Male    Female
Pesedjet                  2          0           
Dodekatheon          3           3       
Aesir                       4           0       
Atzlánti                    3           0          
Loa                          2           0                          
Celestial Bureaucracy1           1    
Yantak Mana            2           0

how often do you think Players Scions are the same sex as their parent?

Male Parent/Male Scion          17
Female Parent/Female Scion    1
Male Parent/Female Scion       2
Female Parent/Male Scion       1
Unknown Parantage                1


Where do you make your Scions from.

United States of America  16
Mexico                              2
United Kingdom                 1
Canada                              2
Japan                                 1


But, since most of the characters are NPCs (The place where we game has a markedly tiny RPG population (or in fact any population at all)), they were mostly created at the whims of Tony. The two players, me and Dan, each have a Scion opposite the gender of the parent. Dan's is a daughter of Hermes, mine is a son of Long Mu (Who is herself daughter of Xiwangmu). The overwhelming contribution to the NPC roster are the Greeks, but not surprising, since that's where the story started. A rising force are the Aesir, though, as the story seems to be moving more and more toward them as we contine.

Not suprised that Celestial Bureaucracy was lowest.  No offense to anyone who is using them, but in my opinion, they are just came off as too orderly for my taste.

I'm pretty sure we are just counting PCs.  Other wise the list would get ridiculous.
Also, why would gods only have one active scion at a time?  I'm not sure that makes much sense or fits

You really haven't spent any time around a Scion of Sun Wukong, have you? :)

I stand corrected. lol

I'm surprised the Loa came off so low. I expected that to be higher simply because voodoo springs quickly to people's minds not to mention the cool factor

The Loa have a cool factor compared to thor and zues?
