There is often a lot of confusion about what it means to be a child of certain gods. I am also sure that there is some confusion about what the priests do. In this thread I will do my best to clearly illustrate the abilities of certain types of characters. Keep in mind that younger characters, or those with less training, will not have access to the greater powers. It will be finished soon.
''The Big Three
Zeus: The children of Zeus have strong abilities over lightning and the wind. These demigods can send volts of electricity out of their hands with now problem. They can control the wind, but at young ages it is just breezes. The older and stronger children of Zeus can whip the wind at dangerous speeds. The strongest of the demigods can summon lightning from the sky. Most children of Zeus are power buffs, and can be quite bossy. It is not unheard of for their fatal flaw to be their desperate need for power. They can also control and communicate with eagles. These demigods feel strengthened when they are in the air, and can breathe in the highest reaches of the atmosphere.
Poseidon: The children of Poseidon are some of the most blessed when it comes to their abilities. These children find strength and water, and all of their functions are stronger in it. They can breathe under water, choose if they get wet, and can withstand the highest of aquatic pressures. The ocean inside of them can cool them off, and keeps them from being burnt. They can manipulate water and bubbles with ease, and can communicate with aquatic animals and horses. The children of the sea can manipulate ships, and stir them with their powers. They can extend their feelings into the water, allowing them to know aquatic coordinates and the whereabouts of objects in the waves. They can summon water from nothing, but this ability is highly advanced. The advanced adults can summon storms of the sea, hurricanes or typhoons. This takes a lot of energy. They can also create earthquakes.
Hades: The sons and daughter of Hades have a list of great abilities as well. These children of death have the ability to summon undead warriors, and spirits. They are under their absolute control. The group can travel to the Underworld at will, but only the most advanced can take others with them. They can sense when people die, and can release locked souls to the Underworld. He can summon flaming fissures to swallow up his enemies and send them to the Underworld. They instantly die. Children of the Underworld can also open pits to Tartarus, but this is complicated. They are masters of necromancy, and what they cannot do naturally they use magic to do. The stronger demigods and use shadow travel to teleport themselves anywhere. They can call forth Stygian Iron and control the rocks of the world. They can communicate with hellhounds, and the creatures of the Underworld recognize them as princes, and do not harm them.
''Gods of War
Ares: The children of this god are naturals with all weapons of war. They have also inherited their father's manipulation of fear. They can stir fright in those enemies to weak to fight it. These demigods often go into a fierce rage when in battle. While in this state weaker injuries are ignored, and their fighting abilities are much greater.
Athena: The children of Athena are born to be wise. they have high IQs and are very studious. Most of them have a love for architecture. The demigods are predisposed to war, and think faster than others in battle. They are natural tacticians, and always remain calm when the situation is threatening.
Hephaestus: The children of the Hephaestus are made for the forge. they have a high resistance to heat, even lava. The tools of the forge listen to them, and their feats are majestic. They do not find it hard to enchant their creations, at least after years of practice. They can control melted metal and lava. They feel at home within volcanoes, and when they are inside of one, they have complete control over it. The abilities of Hephaestus develop slowly, and take more instruction than any other. Only his strongest children can accomplish this. Hephaestus rarely had daughters, and his sons are large and strong.
''Olympian Goddesses
Demeter: The children of Demeter are naturals at growing plant life. They can communicate with plants, in a way that is mostly random needs. They can control the plants, and spur them to grow and fight their battles. The children of Demeter can grow plants in the strangest of places, but the plants will die once the child is away. They create the sweetest of fruit, and can enchant the fruit they grow. With pheromones the Demigods can make their fruit do different things like: Making healing go faster, inspire battle rage, curse one with lust, etc.

They never get lost while traveling, and always make to their destination. Their father always listens to their prayers for safe travel.

They have a natural strength, and are always big with bulging muscles. His sons and grandsons are often arrogant and full of lust.
Janus
The children of Janus are often condemned by mortals as people with Multiple Personality Disorder. These demigods have two personalities that are always distinct opposites. Unlike mortals with Multiple Personality disorder, the two personalities are permanent. They have their own opposite skills, but are very aware of the other. Because of the internal strife the children of Janus suffer, very few live long lives.
Dike
The children of Dike are the ultimate judges of justice. Like their mother they have excellent abilities in battle, but only when they are blindfolded. When the children of Dike give up their sense of sight, even temporarily, their sense of justice takes over. Anything that the children of Dike need to do to bring justice will be done. Their just state will never be to cruel or to lenient. Their abilities only work when facing injustice, and if they are wrong there abilities are lost.

''The Cult Gods
Hera: The great goddess Hera runs the largest an most powerful of the Greek cults. It is the only cult that only accepts woman. The Priestesses of Hera are strong warriors and they fight as well as the children of the Big Three. They are able to perform the rites of marriage and divorce. They are also taught to counsel married couples. These "daughters" of Hera are strong at atmospheric charms. They can light the darkness and use blasts of light as weapons. The Priestesses are required to marry before they can truly be members of the cult. Until marriage they are only considered trainees. Full priestesses are considered as strong as children of the Big Three. (All trainees of Hera will be required to married eventually, and if they cannot find a husband then Hera, ME, will find them one. I did this because as far as I can see it is the truth, and it spices things up a lot. The age of the trainee will not determine if they are required to marry. Your character will not have the abilities of a priestess until her marriage. They must be married to an actual character.)
Hestia: As goddess of the hearth, home, and family Hestia has vowed to remain unmarried and virtuous until the right husband can be found. She has been this way since her birth, but has an established cult. The priests and priestesses of Hestia guard the hearth, home, and family. They have complete control of all fire, and use this ability when in battle. Their fighting skills are average, but with a shield, disc, or boomerang they can be deadly. They are the only Greek fighters that use shields in an offensive manner.
Hecate: The cult of Hecate is a dangerous one that is basically a close group of mages. The goddess Hecate is one of many to walk the path of a virgin, but she uses her cult as her connection to the world of mortals. They dabble in all manners of magic, and it can be offensive and defensive. The mages are only decent in melee combat, but their abilities have many battle purposes. These priests can travel into the Underworld without incident.
Apollo: The priests and priestesses of Apollo are nothing like his children. The priests are first and foremost oracles. They can see into the future through various tools, give prophecies through the grace of Apollo, and see through the world with their dreams. Very few are worth anything in battle, and those that are having the abilities of mortals.
Pan: This is the only cult left without a god. The priests and priestesses of Pan worship his memory, and follow the orders of the Cloven Elders. They are the sworn defenders of the wild, and each has a piece of Pan within them. They use the sound of instruments to control plants and are the great tamers of animals and monsters. The priests of Pan are against violence, but will defend themselves in the wild if they must. As controllers of the wild they can be a huge threat.
