You are the child of a God, born to the magic of yesterday and the promise of tomorrow. You live in a World of myth, where every ancient story is true. Your ancient enemies, the Titans, stir in their prison beneath the lands of the dead. Their spawn issues forth from lands of myth, and the specter of war falls across the heavens. In this age of turmoil, you seize your birthrights and feel the call of your blood. Find your destiny. Live the myth. Embrace your Fate.
Scion is a game about gods, humanity, and everything in between. It's a game about mythic deeds and the reasons people talk about those deeds. Armed with weapons possessed of mighty powers, the Scions, divine offspring of both god and man, stand as humanity's only defense against the savage Titans, dread forebears of the gods. Even the gods themselves cannot stand united, as ancient rivalries spring forth once more.
Scion: Origin details the Scions when they're still (mostly) human, before the Visitation that introduces them to the divine World. They're exceptional humans, perhaps blessed with luck and skill, or cursed with ill fortune and strange trials in their lives, but humans nonetheless.
