I haven't seen the term "Ose".  If we're talking about the Old Norse
pantheon, then they're usually called just that - the Old Norse gods.
Sometimes "Asgardian" is used, but I'm not aware of a non-Asgardian Old
Norse pantheon (although of course several of the Old Norse gods did not
actually live in Asgard...)
