The mythologies of many human cultures seem to feature a group of recurring characters, not just recurring roles or archtypes but actual people. Whether those people are real gods, manifestations of some supernatural phenomena or just a bunch of reincarnating superpowered immortals is an open question. While [[richard_starsky|newbies]] tend to call these beings "gods", the wiser amongst them prefer to refer to themselves as [[wp>Twelve Olympians|The Twelve]]. Other names less commonly used are **The Pantheon** (trite) and **The First Generation**, alluding to these being perhaps the first generation of humanity, or of intelligent life on the planet. | The mythologies of many human cultures seem to feature a group of recurring characters, not just recurring roles or archtypes but actual people.
