Here is a unique idea for a Pantheon, based on major internationally known figures from great literature. Hopefully I can get some chatter, and perhaps people would like to work this with me. :D
*******
The Fictumis
The newest and youngest entry to the realms of the Gods, the Fictumis were once fictional characters of great literature. But their presence and near-archetypal position in mortal lore has brought forth them to god-hood and a unique position to play. Their God-Realm is Imago, a land of several cities and many different lands in between. Each city is different, a Camelot, a Victorian London, a Verona, a dark castle, and so forth.
Pantheon Boon
Wordsmithery, the power to influence words, spoken and written, and information they carry. I haven't defined any boons with this yet.
The Gods
King Arthur
The ruler of the Fictumis by common consent.
Associated Boons and Attributes: Epic Charisma, Epic Stamina, War, Wordsmithery
Favored Abilities: Melee, Integrity, Control, Command, Presence
Guienvere
Arthur's famous queen, and the queen of the Fictumis.
Associated Boons and Attributes: Epic Charisma, Epic Appearance, Fertility, Wordsmithery
Favored Abilities: Command, Presence, Empathy, Politics, Stealth
Sherlock Holmes
The famous detective of Baker Street. As one whose attitudes were shaped by the Victorian Age, he adopts Scions rather than breed them.

Iago
The bane of Othello is the secret dagger of the Fictumis, a counterpart to Loki in every way.
Associated Boons and Attributes: Epic Wits, Epic Manipulation, Chaos, Wordsmithery
Favored Abilities: Politics, Subterfuge, Empathy, Larceny, Stealth
Romeo
The young lover struggling against fate, he is a commander and a negotiator, using force of personality to over whelm his foes.
Associated Boons and Attributes: Epic Charisma, Epic Dexterity, Magic, Wordsmithery
Favored Abilities: Presence, Melee, Command, Control, Subterfuge
Juliet
The female half of the ill-fated couple doomed to die, she is a diplomat and caregiver.

They sort of vaguely touch on this concept in the Scion Companion. Though its more "various mythic figures of more recent vintage are/were Scions of various levels, they just didn't form into traditional publically-known pantheons."

RE: Aurthur
Looks right.
RE: Sherlock Holmes
I suggest you swap in Disguise for Stealth.
RE: Guienvere
I'd drop Command and Stealth in favor of... something else. Perhaps Art & Subterfuge
And if we're going to do Aurthur and Guienvere then we need Merlin.
Prophesy, Magic, Manipulation, Wordsmithery
Occult, Presence, Politics, ?, ?
