The Chronicler Posted May 26, 2021 The Storyteller Share Posted May 26, 2021 Inherent and Restricted Abilities Certain abilities are considered to be commonplace in the demigod world, while others are more rare. This will help you know what your character is capable of doing based on who their godly parent is. It will also alert you to which abilities are limited and must be applied for. This information was pulled, in many cases, directly of the Riordan Fandom wiki. Some information has been altered where appropriate for the site. Universal Abilities These are abilities inherent to all half-bloods regardless of who their godly parent is. Superhuman Strength:Demigods are far stronger than any human. The children of the Big Three: Zeus, Poseidon and Hades are even stronger than normal demigods. Superhuman Speed: Demigods are far faster than any human, and possess greater swiftness. Superhuman Agility: Demigods possesses agility, equilibrium, and bodily coordination that are far greater than that of humans. Meaning, they possess great acrobatic prowess and maneuverability helping them in the midst of battle. They can move, jump very high, flip, climb, and run incredibly fast without difficulty or exhaustion. Superhuman Durability: Demigods possesses much greater durablity, resilience, and constitution than any human being. Therefore, they are capable of withstanding and surviving blows that would otherwise leave a human dead and/or injured if lucky. Superhuman Endurance: Demigods can endure physical stresses beyond the capabilities of the greatest humans, allowing them to operate efficiently for extended amounts of time, even if they are weakened or exhausted. Above-Normal Healing Factor: Demigods can heal faster and with more finality than humans and sustain far greater damage than humans. Heightened Senses: Demigods' five senses (hearing, smelling, sight, etc) are greatly increased. The senses of a demigod helps them notice small details and unusual attributes that shouldn’t be there, which help keep them alive in battle. Superhuman Stamina: Demigods have an unusually advanced musculature, granting them exceptionally high stamina and endurance surpassing most mortals. Demigods can perform rigorous physical activity for hours, until fatigue toxins in their blood stream begins to impair them, and they will begin to show signs of fatigue. Superhuman Reflexes: Demigods have far above average reflexes that can keep them alive during a fight (diagnosed as ADHD in mortals). It allows them to dodge inhumanly fast attacks that mortals wouldn’t be able to react to. Their reflexes also enables them to keep pace with beings faster, or as fast as them when in the midst of combat.

However, it is reasonable to have them be particularly skilled at something once they put their mind to it such as swordplay, archery, thievery, etc. Any physical task that they can put effort into and master, they can become excellent at. They just have to work harder for it. Children of Nike Since there are only two children of Nike encountered in the series, and their abilities aren't covered in much detail, we have created this list off what we do see from the characters.

Like their mother, their magic is strongest at night and weak during the day. By speaking in either Latin or Ancient Greek, her children can cast many spells for various effects such as creating fire, generating cold, protecting oneself, and shielding themselves from the tracking abilities of monsters and etc. If a child of Hecate overexerts their magical capabilities too much, it physically takes a toll on their body causing them fatigue, exhaustion, dizziness, or faint. It could also cause their magical energy to be drained or depleted, leaving them powerless. This skill can be used to copy any other ability, however it will always require the verbal component and will always be weaker than the natural ability of someone else. For example, this could mimic hypnokinesis but would require an incantation and would be weaker than a Child of Hypnos's natural born ability. This also applies to their own limited abilities on this list. They can verbally cast spells to manipulate shadows or control dead, but will always be weaker than those who have a natural born talent for it. Those with natural born talents do not need to cast a spell for it.
