What are the abilities of children of Hera, Aphrodite, and Hel?

There are no set abilities for demigods. Below I list some possible starting abilities.

Hera: the ability to prevent conception (i.e. if their parent wanted to have another child, but they didn’t want a sibling) or the ability to solve, cause, or worsen relationship problems (restriction: the people must have been interested in each other to begin with)

Aphrodite: the ability to charm others (innate), the ability to slightly alter one’s appearance (appear slightly skinnier, change eye colour, alter skin flaws, etc.), or Alisha’s power from Misfits

Hel: being able to sense if someone is about to die (they may or may not know who) or foreseeing death in dreams (it would take practice to remember the details of these dreams)

I can’t give you a list of what powers a demigod will have after receiving training because there are tons of possibilities. If you’re wondering if a demigod can have a certain power, just send another ask including what that power is and how much training they’ve had. If you need help coming up with powers for a character you’ve already created, just send what you have so far and we can figure out what would work best. (Use Tumblr’s chat to avoid the annoying character limit on asks.)

Artemis was a Virgin Goddess (and I think so was Hestia and Athena) I'm wondering if they can have demi-gods in this rp? Thanks. This rp looks awesome!!

As mentioned in the FAQ, in this roleplay virgin goddesses can have children.

Today is acceptance day! I have two lovely apps sitting in the inbox right now, and I’d love them to be accompanied by two more so that the rp can open tomorrow. I’ll be accepting at 11:00 pm EST, so make sure to get your apps in before then!

Hades - Officer of the City Guard - Bisexual

Purpose

Eve came to Cure for her mother. She had become a girl she knew her mother would be ashamed of, and Eve saw Cure as an opportunity to start fresh. Eve wants to make up for what she’s done, but she’s not even sure that’s possible.

History

Brook Sappho was a thoughtful, kind women. Working at a hospital as a labour and delivery nurse, she saw tons of children delivered and passed into the arms of loving mothers, she just never saw herself as one of those mothers. Whether she liked it or not, on October 13th, 1989, Brook found herself in the delivery room holding a baby girl of her own.

Raising Eve proved to be more of a challenge than anticipated. Brook was well educated on how to care for children, however, she lacked the skills to care for a demigod. She wasn’t sure how, but whatever toys Eve played with broke. The plastic blocks and rings were fine, but the dolls would have heads missing and the animals would end up in piece. Brook decided to watch Eve play one day to see if her daughter was purposefully being a pain in the ass. Instead of finding a raging toddler, she discovered a normal child who just happened to break everything she touched. Maybe it was the way she held the dolls - Brook didn’t know. But whatever it was, it wasn’t intentional.

As Eve grew up, not a day went by where she wasn’t told to be more gentle or calm. To simply go slower and not be as aggressive, but Eve wasn’t quite sure how to be less aggressive when she wasn’t angry. Wanting to help others like her mother, but knowing that with her luck that nursing would turn out horribly, Eve decided to become a police officer. She was twenty two when she had finished her degree in criminology and started her first week at police academy. It was that same week that her mother by an unknown suspect in her home.

When Even found out, she became obsessed. Her friends kept her focused on school until their training was over, but after that Eve went off the grid. Working alone, she tracked down the man, popped a knife in his neck, and watched him bleed out in the valley of a country road ditch. That’s when the tattoo appeared. Eve didn’t even noticed it until two weeks later, and shortly after that they found her.

Personal security for someone important, they were all demigods and quickly informed her that a spot had just opened up for someone of her talents, for a daughter of Hades. Confused, alone, and still frightened by what she had done, Eve joined them. Eve hated the job. She hated her powers, and she hated what she had done. However, it paid well and gave her life structure, two things she believed she need in order not to become obsessed again. So she used them, not one or twice, but too many times for her to remember. While the others each had their unique talents, Eve took care of those that needed to be taken care of.

Once she heard about Cure, it took her a while to leave. The position she was in wasn’t one easily gotten out of. When she left, she took nothing but the clothes on her back and a weapon or two - no cellphone, no identification, no attachments.

Personality

Undisturbed, Eve is fairly passive. When she makes daily decisions she does so strategically, and when she’s alone she rarely makes a noise. Around other people she’ll put on a lovely demeanour that’s friendly on the surface. The demeanour usually lasts a few minutes - longer if she’s working - before the sarcastic, stubborn, aggressive girl emerges.

When she becomes focused on something, nothing will stand in her way. The longer her focus is held, the more obsessive she becomes. Her thoughts become more intrusive, and her decisions increasingly reckless. Unknowingly, she slips into a “do whatever it takes” mentality. Over the years Eve has become better at catching herself early on, however, she’s still not perfect. When she does realize what’s happening, she’ll actively fight her behaviours.

what font are you using for your promos?

I use Code Bold and Code Light.

Do you think you will eventually allow non-demigods?? Maybe nymphs or other mythological creatures?

Yeah! I definitely want to, however, I’d like to get a healthy amount of demigods first as they are what make the city function. Nymphs are one of the mythological creatures I’ll be including when I do.

CHARACTER PSD >> ICELAND (#2)

I made another one since I was bored. Enjoy!

Each graphic is 245 x 300 pixels, and the image is 185 x 240 pixels.

I used Baskerville for the font.

Please like or reblog if using, it really means a lot to me.

Hey guys! Last night was awesome with the first three acceptances, and I’d love to see some more for Friday. I’ve been out all day and I’m seeing Star Wars tonight, so I’ll post the bios so far when I get home or tomorrow at the latest.

There are way too many options for a character, have you got any personalities, godly parents, 'powers' etc you would love to have more than anything else? I'm trying to narrow down my options. Haha.

Feel free to take all or parts of the suggestions below. I’ve bolded my favourite choice for each personality.

I’d love to see a determined, ambitious character who’s aiming for the stars, even if they won’t get there - and they’re okay with that. Their god parent hasn’t contacted them, but that isn’t going to stop them from finding out everything about their abilities. They don’t have any training when they come to Cure, which is why they want to find people with similar abilities as them and learn from them. They’re optimistic, charismatic, and work at one of the shops in town.

Daisy Ridley - Roman (Vesta from this post)

Lily James - Norse (Freyja)

John Boyega - Egyptian (Horus)

Rami Malek - Egyptian (Seth)

I’d also love to see a character who is extremely independent and stubborn. They’re not necessarily rude, but they refuse help whenever it’s offered. When they were younger they didn’t receive much assistance and they adopted the mentality that they didn’t need anyone else. They’re the kind of person who believes that it’s hard work, not luck, that leads to success. They seek to better themselves in every way possible (physically, financially, intellectually, etc.) so that they’ll never have to rely on anyone for anything.

Alexander Ludwig - Norse (Odin or Thor)

Katheryn Winnick - Norse (Odin or Ullr)

Jamie Clayton - Norse (Tyr or Ullr)

Oscar Isaac - Greek (Hephaestus), Roman (Mars), or Egyptian (Ptah)

There’s also a wanted connections page that has a few ideas. If you need any more help deciding, don’t hesitate to ask!
