Question: Are you considering resurrecting any of your dead characters like John Doe or the Jolie-Pitt kids? I know that death isn't permanent and that it is also a bitch to find a way around it, but was hinted in Hime-Kami's write up that she's looking for a way around death to find her siblings, so how many (if any) are you bringing back?
Fully back to life? Not many, but it could always happen. Some characters will definitely escape from their brushes with death in the future, I can definitely tell you that; a few can't seem to stay dead no matter how hard they try. I can think of four or five non-god figures from stories who will be making a glorious comeback, though I don't think they're all the ones you would expect. As usual, once stories start getting caught up to later events, you'll be seeing a lot more business in the Underworld as demigods edge closer to godhood and some of them grow into their powers over the whispering hosts.
I can definitely promise you'll be seeing a bit more of John Doe in the nearish future, though that doesn't necessarily mean he'll be among the breathing again. Some of the Jolie-Pitt kids may even roll in for an encore, though with them you can never quite tell how things are going to go. A few surprising faces among the Norse for seasoning, and we'll have a regular old resurrection ball.

All Dogs Go to Heaven
Question: Are you ever going to have the Jolie-Pitt kids come back? They really got screwed.
It is, indeed, always tragic when a PC dies, and that tragedy is multiplicative when the entire band goes down (well, except for Woody, because, as we all know, Woody is indestructible and will live forever). It's unlikely that they will be played again as PCs, since their players have moved on to new characters and there is that nasty little problem they currently have with being dead.
But that doesn't mean they won't be appearing in fiction any longer; the ghosts of Scions past are one of our favorite sources of NPCs, and, after all, being dead is only kind of an impediment when it comes to being the child of a god. The lives of Scions are interwoven by the strands of Fate, so it's almost inevitable that they'll turn up at some point, even if they no longer have the starring roles.
And who knows - it's monumentally unlikely, but they could even make it back to the top again. Crazier things have happened.
