Ironically we've talked about how easily Exalted could be run in DFRPG also. lol
There again, my mate is an actual genius with a super-talent for breaking down systems (and is working toward publishing a gaming system that we've had in the works for 8 years now) and is responsible for our conversions mainly.
Scion is a White Wolf setting that casts you as the child of a god or goddess from any pantheon really. Your main nemesis are the Titanspawn, or essentially, anything that hates you which is mostly everything except other Scions and maybe humans of some sorts. Generally, you're a heroic character who will ultimately become a god if you work hard enough at it. It translates amazingly because there's even a system in Scion similar to Fate Points (Called Legend) that power most of your abilities. They are even explained as being very similar to Fate points. They are the scion's pull on destiny.
Albeit, before anyone jumps me, my mate and I tend to houserule and homebrew a lot... But this works well for us. And as an idea... these aren't horrible things to do in a DFRPG game either, just powered down if so.
We ran with 45 Skill points and 15 refresh to start because by the time we converted them, our Scions were nearing Demi-god level (a changeover that seriously jumps their power in Scion).
That and we built like 4 of them and agreed upon the average refresh NEEDED to recreate what they already had for powers in white wolf.
Here's one example:
Tora Thorsdottir (Pantheon: Aesir) (Pantheon Power: Unstoppable(One extra stress box of each type))
High Concept: Honorable Warrior, Daughter of Thor
Trouble: Is This What's Right? (She's conflicted over her morals.)
Other Aspects:
Family First
Thifnir (Her magic hammer)
Always Up For a Challenge
Indomitable Defender
Stubborn as a Norseman/Short Fuse
Skills: (Cap: Fantastic)
6 Might, Endurance
5 Conviction, Intimidation
4 Athletics, Presence
3 Discipline, Rapport
2 Survival, Stealth, Alertness
1 Craft: Metalworker, Driving, Scholarship
Stunts and Powers:

-1 Thifnir: +2 (Weapon 3)
-2: Channeled Lightning Evocation
-1: Never Far From Reach (Returns)
Total 14 Refresh Adjustment
Notes:
(+6 For lifting/breaking, +4 Damage, grapple+2 and 3 stress, +2 when using might to modify another skill check)
Stress:
P 9
M 5
S 5
Armor: 2 Natural, 2 Physical

Here's her Character Phases Worksheet. The stories are such a short summary... there's a lot of depth to these characters.
Background:
Phase Aspect: Family First
Raised on a farm in Canada by a gothi of the Norse reconstructionist faith, Tori Erikson's only real friend was her cousin, Senna. Her father taught her the ways of her heritage and she grew a deep love for her family, small though it might be. If there is one thing she will always fight hardest for it is her kin.
Rising Conflict:
Phase Aspect: Thifnir
When a Valkyrie attacked Senna calling her "Lokispawn", Tora defended her without question. Unexpectedly, the hammer she always wore at her throat grew to a rather large size in her hand and mimicked abilities credited to Mjollnir such as returning when thrown. It's not the same thing, but it's not to be disregarded, for sure.
The Story: (First Adventure)
Phase Aspect: Always Up For A Challenge
Story Title: Apparently, It's Good For Some Things (This is a joke on the lyric "War! What is it good for? Absolutely nothing!" and is kind of an in-joke with my mate.)
Guest Starring: Aaron Aristaeus, Scion of Ares
Since childhood, Tora has never been able to turn down a good challenge. It's just in her nature. However, when she and Senna learned they were descended from Thor and Loki, it kinda upped the ante. Meeting Aaron, Scion of Ares, really helped Tora to realize what heights she could rise to. Since then, she never balks at an opportunity to challenge herself.
Guest Star:
Phase Aspect: Indomitable Defender
Story Title: Hel's Come Home (sic)
Whose Story? Who Else was in it?: The Scion Band and the Dark Scions
Once she'd joined with the Scion Band, Tora knew that she would do her best to protect her new friends. They were like new family to her, and she would never let them down while she was still breathing. One fateful encounter pitted her against a sea of undead souls and she simply showed her friends what it means to be a living bulwark.
Guest Star Redux:
Phase Aspect: Stubborn as a Norseman/Short Fuse
Story Title: At Least She's Honest
Whose Story Was this? Who Else was in it?: Senna
Tora has finally accepted the fact that she bears the classic Norseman traits of stubbornness and having a short fuse. Of course, Senna helped her grow those traits, especially in the latter case. It's worth it to have always had Senna with her. And now she realizes Senna's purpose may be annoying, but it's necessary.
Anyway... If you want to see some more, just let me know. That's a good example though of how we've been able to represent the same powers. Very easy actually.
