Demigods are, of course, a fundamental part of this roleplay, so it's important for you to know what they are! Most already know that demigods are the children of a mortal parent and a god, in this case, a Greek god. Because of their divine parentage, there are certain things about them different from normal humans. And as no one really wants to read a bunch of paragraphs, we put it into a simple list!
Note that you can create demigods from any of the Greek gods, not only the ones on this list.
________________________________________
• Children of Zeus have the ability to direct lightning. The lightning has to already be there for them to have any use of this power. They can also sense the coming of storms.
• Children of Poseidon have the ability to manipulate pools of water, starting at the size of a puddle. They can also talk to horses.
• Children of Hades have the ability to talk to dead people. They can also reopen old wounds that you used to have, though it takes tremendous amount of strength and energy.
• Children of Apollo have near perfect aim with a bow, as well as being able to influence your emotions with music. Meaning, they could play a slow song and make you sad, or a fast one and make you cheerful.
• Children of Ares catch on quickly with new weapons. They also have the ability to enchant weapons. With great concentration, they can adjust the sharpness of any nearby weapon. Weapons that are theirs and in their hands are easier to enchant and take less energy.
• Children of Athena have photographic memories. They also have telepathy, going along with the saying "Great minds think alike." It's easier for them to communicate with their siblings, but they can do it with anybody if they tried hard enough.
• Children of Hephaestus can manipulate fire whenever it's around, whether that fire is a full out wildfire or a small candle flame. They are experts when it comes to tools. They can create mechanical machines out of almost anything. It doesn't even take concentration, as it's mostly done absentmindedly.
• Children of Dionysus cannot get drunk. They could drink a gallon of alcohol and still be as sober as ever. They can also control vines that they randomly find around them, making them grow faster, slower, or attempt to strangle the next person that passes.
• Children of Hermes are the kind of people you want around when you need medical attention. They know how to treat anything treatable, how any plant can be used for medicine, and all without studying. Just a perk of being the child of the god of medicine. Children of Hermes also have a "built in GPS" in their heads. However, it's a badly functioning GPS with many bugs. It takes extreme concentration and they can't be under pressure, or their sense of direction can go totally whack.
• Children of Demeter have control over plants. They can manipulate plants that are nearby. They can increase or decrease the growth rate of a plant or smother you with grain so you can no longer breathe. They can sense any living things within a mile radius.
• Children of Aphrodite know how to get what they want. All they have to do is ask, and their charm speak takes care of the rest. Most of the time, they don't even know they're using charm speak, they're just asking for something they want, or saying something they want you to believe. They have little control over love, but, with great concentration and work, they can make a normal mortal fall in love with anything, whether it be a poisonous plant or a deadly opponent.
• Children of Iris have the ability to communicate through rainbows. They have to have a rainbow nearby, but when they use it to communicate, the one they're talking to will find a random rainbow somewhere. Also, when looking in water, they will sometimes see glimpses of the future. They can't control these, and there's no telling what they will see, or even if it will make any sense.
• Children of Nemesis have the ability to plant suggestions into people's minds. They have to actively want it to be believed, and all they have to do is speak it to implant the suggestion. Children of Nemesis are also great problem solvers. Their solutions are usually fair and just.
• Children of Persephone can grow fruits from anything. However, these fruits aren't for eating. They can paralyze you for a short amount of time, depending on how much energy they put into growing it. They can also speak to plants just as if they were human.
• Children of Nyx have the ability to enshroud anyone or anything in complete darkness. However, it takes patience and concentration, as it doesn't happen instantaneously. At night, they can see clearly as if it were day.
Note that you can create demigods from any of the Greek gods, not only the ones on this list.
