Half Blood "Powers"
So not much godmodding....

Children of Zeus
-If using a metal weapon without a wooden handle (Which would rule outthings like spears and some halberds) they can charge it electrically to shock, paralyze, or numb their opponent in the area they stab them
-Produce electrical shocks in dry, cold weather
-Can survive at great heights
-Can create small, temporary thunderstorms over someone's head. Given the blessing of their father, they can summon thunderstorms. Large ones.
-Blessing of Zeus- If given his blessing, the children become extremely powerful for a time while in battle.
-Aren't completely effected by being electrocuted. Can actually send the electricity back at people; though to get the charge they need to be electrocuted first, and it does sting a bit.
-Unable to control their tempers, they are sometimes angered. Hating to be caught or being wrong, they are a bit snappy.
**Good Leaders**

Children of Hades
-Can walk through Shadows, like Nico does in the book (Though, the skill would have to develop. They can't just shadow-step to L.A the first time they try, and must be tired after they do it.)
-Can summon Skeletal warriors, though there is a maximum of 1-4 at a time, depending on how skilled the character is and how much they've practiced. Skeletal warriors must also be defeatable, not like the ones Atlas summons in book 3. With their father's blessing they can summon more, and stronger ones.
-Can create small globes of darkness, like Drow from Dungeons and Dragons, around an opponent. The globe is stationary, however, and cannot be moved once it's made. Stronger kids can create more than one at once.
-They can see in complete darkness without a problem
-Can communicate with the dead and summon specific dead people. Also, Hellhounds like them.
-Able to control small blasts of black fire, and with a little help with Hades, they can control vast powers of it. Maybe a Hephaestus kid would help.
**Kind of Dark**

Children of Poseidon
-Can control water (Create sizeable waves, pull water to the surface of the ground for drinking, etc...)
-Can communicate with sea creatures, and horses.
-Can create small earthquakes
-Can survive in water (Pressure, temperature, breathing underwater)
-Heal when they're in water, even more so in salt water.
-In Salt Water, they can find latitude and longitude
**Great With Swords**

Children of Demeter
-Can control and manipulate plantlife, and with their mother's blessing they can make plants grow even where they usually wouldn't (I.E, in fire, etc.)
-Can survive most poisons and toxins, and can concoct them with great skill.
-No matter where they are in the wilderness, they can somehow sense and find edible plants, etc.
- Can kind of 'talk' to plants
**Best With Nature**

Children of Ares
-Stronger and more durable than regular half-bloods, and are skilled at wrestling and boxing naturally.
-Generally make people around them angry and on edge, not relaxed; though this is not as strong as their fathers' and can be ignored.
-With the blessing of Ares they get that battle aura thing Clarisse got at the end of Book 5
-When they're angry, they kind of go into a barbarian like berzerker thing, and are nearly unstoppable. Like a tank. An angry tank.
**Anger Issues**

Children of Athena
-Once they read something, they never forget it. They can also read exceptionally well, and learn really fast. Are able to spontaneously form plans, which work 99% of the time.
In other words, they are crazy smart.
- When a fight is justified by a reasonable cause (For example, someone punched them in the face) they fight better and with the Blessing of Athena they can almost predict what their opponent will do, and form a strategy to defeat them.
-Can see clearly in the dark, though not as well as Hades kids. They need some form of light, like the moon or stars. Cannot see in complete darkness.
-Can easily make decisions, and succeed in most competitions.
** Spiders hate them.**

Children of Apollo
-Amazing archers; are unrivalled, except by maybe Artemis' hunters.
-Sometimes get flashes of prophecy (not very often) but with the blessing of Apollo they can see a few seconds into the future in a fight or tight situation.
-Bright lights don't really affect them, and they do not get sun burnt. Also, they can tell the time without a watch or sundial, just by looking at the position of the sun. Can control light, to some extent (making bright flashes, temporarily blinding people, etc.)
-Heal a bit faster than other demi-gods.
**Good musicians.**

Children of Hephaestus
-Can manipulate and create small amounts of fire. Do not burn easily, and can survive in high temperatures and Magma for a short amount of time.
-Can craft most weapons, and with the Blessing of their Father they can craft magic/godly weapons.
-Can control volcanoes, and can control eruptions, though that takes some energy.
-Can craft arms and legs from bronze. They work better with girls(Pandora)
**They are a tad bit ugly**

Children of Hermes
-Extreme speed, and with a blessing from their father, they can go the speed of sound
-On any given road or pathway, they can never get lost. Kind of like how children of Poseidon know where they are on the ocean, children of Hermes know exactly where they are as long as it is considered a road.
This does not work in the middle of a farmer's field, for example.
-Good inventors, and are turned to when the Athena kids are stumped
-Can speak in tongues, and know many languages.
**Good at Lying, sneaking, and thieving.

Children of Dionysus
-Have a limited control of grape vines and strawberry plants, specifically. Can make them grow wherever it is naturally possible.
-They never really get drunk. They make friends easily and their good mood is almost infectious.
- Can make people confused or dazed for a while. (Maybe no more than a Minute if your really strong...)
- Can drive people insane with a special blessing from there father.
-They are in control of cats, mainly cheetahs.
**Are the life of a party.**

Children of Aphrodite
-Are never really ugly, even while horrifically maimed. They have a sort of 'aura' around them that makes them alluring. People can't help but be attracted to them; for looks, however. This does nothing for their personality, though they are good at being charismatic.
-Especially skilled at riding pegasi.
-If they so choose, they can attract members of the opposite sex, and sometimes those of the same sex as well, and make them infatuated with them for a little while.(Depending on how strong their will is, they can make this five minutes, ten, or maybe an hour.) With their mother's blessing, they can also make people 'love' other people.
-Good at creating disguises with wigs and makeup, and can make themselves (nearly) unrecognizable should they so choose.

I was actually thinking about this in History Class while we talked about some explorer dude...

Zeus: Blast of electricity, or in clouds.
Poseidon: Water particles come around them, and they disappear like steam...(Science teacher, thank you!)
Hades: Shadow travel.
Demeter: Collection of plants surround them, and they get carried, sort of like nymphs
Ares: Running super fast into a wall, usually preferred with a sword or shield. Like the Harry Potter series, kind of.
Athena: Think of the place, and shout out some big word, like establishments, and disappear
Apollo:Flash of Light
Artemis: Flash of Darkness(Or moonlight, whatever you hunters prefer)
Hephaestus: Volcanoes or fire
Aphrodite biggrin isappear in flower petals, leaving behind some perfume
Hermes:They can Run there, they are athletes after all...
Dionysus:Coil of vines.

What type of powers do the children of the minor gods have?

:3 I"d like you to post it if you can~
