Of the list, probably the allfather or Tyr. Odin was wise and I admire the lengths he went to obtain knowledge, although his practicing seidhr goes a bit far in my eyes. As for Tyr, I admire his courage, especially when facing the Fenrisulfr. I chose Tyr in the poll.

Another god that really speaks out to me is Bragi. As a musician, it's hard not to choose the long-bearded god, eh?

EDIT: 3 votes for Loki? Am I missing something here? He may have had his moments, but for the most part he was one of the least honorable folks around. I hesitate to even consider him one of the Aesir, although I suppose he has his place among them, being Odin's blood brother and all.

You'd best be careful, Trogdor has been known to burninate peasants such as yourself for less.

Tyr, for reasons unknown lost his once prestigious place as "all-father" when Odin reeled in the popularity vote in later ages, though both represent justice. Odin improves on the warrior archetype with knowledge, and while his hanging on a tree is deserving of an ungodly amount of praise, I voted for Tyr.

I'd like to be Trigger.

Oh, wait...I thought the question was about "an 'orse deity".
