The Demigod Games discussion

Zeus- King of the gods and god of the sky. His offspring usually have power over the whether or lightning.

Hera- Queen of gods and marriage. Since she does not cheat on her husband and have children, she chooses champions. Champions of Hera can be mortals blessed with a special ability, or children of minor gods and goddesses.

Hephaestus- God of forge and fire. His children usually have a way with creation or flames.

Aphrodite- Goddess of Love and Beauty. Her offspring can charm people with their words, create potions, taint emotions, and do I have to mention that being naturally beautiful comes with the genetics?

Athena- Goddess of wisdom and strategy in war. Her offspring are created from pure thought, and often have great intellect.

Ares- God of war. His offspring have a craving for blood and a knack for fighting.

Dionysus- God of wine and vegetation. His offspring can influence emotions or cause vines of food to grow.

Artemis- Goddess of the moon and the hunt. Since Artemis took a vow of purity, she chooses Hunters. Hunters are female demigods who follow her vow of virginity and fight with silver bows and arrows.

Poseidon- God of the sea. His offspring often have the power to manipulate water and communicate sea creatures and horses.

Hades- God of the underworld. His offspring can communicate with and raise the dead.

Demeter- Goddess of agriculture and fertility. Her offspring can grow all types of food.

Apollo- God of music, light, healing. His offspring can manipulate light and often can heal or lull someone to sleep with a sweet lullaby.

Hestia- Goddess of hearth and home. Hestia, too, is a virgin goddess and chooses champions. Like Hera, she can bestow a blessing of fire upon a mortal, or choose a minor god or goddess's child to represent her.

Hermes- Messenger of the gods, god of thieves, merchants, and travelers. His children can range from the quickest pickpockets to the best pranksters. Some can even fly.
