Depends on what you want to do - several concepts decidedly do not rock in Scion . . . but that is always the case with White Wolf products: some concepts get arbitrarily neutered.

Really? I've always considered Scion to offer a lot of freedom in character concepts. What did you have problems with?

Wow.  This is...  completely different from what I'm used to.  If this is what a little divine blood does, I can hardly imagine what it would be like to play a Demigod!

count me in...
and as for the monotheistic thing, I had a funny history ideas... what if the Cathloic Saints were actually some of the same pantheons in the book just presented diffrently to the masses.
the idea of a cathloic Inquisitor that's actually a scion of the judge anubis....
but that's not the part of the story.

I wanna play this now
Prudence, justice, temperance, courage, faith, hope, love...
debate any other aspect of my faith these are the heavenly virtues. this flawed mortal is going to try to adhere to them.

Funny enough the Voudoun pantheon does stand in for a handful of the saints.

Ironwolf85

how is a new pantheon formed anyway?
sorry to go on about it, but I it's a hole in the story and when I see one I can't help but play around with ideas

I think once you're up to God level you have the option of forming your own pantheon, but I haven't looked too far into that.

I think there's a fan made pantheon of the Christian saints as well, on the scion wiki.

*laughing* okay then but I still like anubis... I could do some cool stuff with a scion there.
I was just having fun poking at facts

Know of Scion, know my pantheons, well versed in playing online RPs.

Never actually played Scion the game.

This be a problem? Being that I won't know the system. I imagine it would slow things down a tad.

Ironwolf85

I don't even know how to do the characters or the rules...
WHEEEE ;D

Your GM will be able to help with that. First figure out the basic character concept, and get an idea for which pantheon you'd like to belong to. The mechanics in Scion are relatively straightforwards.

He speaks the truth.  I'd never even heard of Scion a few weeks ago, and now I'm having the time of my life.

Here is my character.. the one twist that isn't in the backstory is she's got Scion Blood on both sides (her mother's family WAY back had a scion of Old Man Coyote) but most recently her father is Loki. She despises him, and he knows it. The twist is her 'Grandfather' Coyote is trying to take her in so she has to do 'favors' for Dad.

Look wise, she's looks like Mercy Thompson from the cover of on of Patrica Brigg's books

though i have to wonder about modern monotheistic faiths in that world

actually the game system indicates that aten the titan of light -is- the jeudeo/christian god and anything decently good in christianity is a misinterpretation of him being evil

I'd like to give scion a try.

Bloody Rose

Pm me and we will talk about it. Guys Its been almost a week and I had not received any CC. Are none of you interested? if not tell me so I can wrap it up.

If you're refering to the Order of Divine Glory, that's one of the more heavily debated parts of Scion material.

Plus, at the end of the day, the GM decides what is and isn't canon in their game.

I think that is a highly debated theme as well. I dont think I will include that part on my scion, still not sure though I will need to read more... but I am eating.. Chinese food mmmm
