Here is a quick list of the usual powers that a child of certain gods take, if you feel that you may want to add anything please feel free to PM me!
Children of Zeus- As their father is lord of the sky, children of Zeus have influence over the domain of heaven. Being born of one of the Big Three, children of Zeus are more powerful than most demigods. In addition to natural leadership ability, they are known to possess great physical strength.
Children of Poseidon- Children of Poseidon are more powerful than most demigods as their father is one of the Big Three. Poseidon's children have complete control over water, especially seawater. In addition, they are natural equestrians as well as phenomenal sailors and swimmers with the power to create earthquakes and storms.
Children of Hades- Although Hades has few offspring, their power is greater than many demigods due to their father's status as one of the Big Three. As demigods of the underworld, Hades' children hold the power of necromancy. They also possess umbrakinesis and their geokinetic abilities far surpass those of Poseidon's children.
Children of Persephone- The demi-god children of Persephone have many powers, usually relating a mix between Demeter and Hades; many times they have the ability to turn anything into flowers with a touch, as well as having growing powers like Demeter children, they may also have limited geokinesis and power to manipulate the dead.
Children of Demeter- The children of Demeter are passive but powerful demigods. As the goddess of agriculture, it is only natural that her children are born farmers with command over crops and other plants. they are also noted for being talented cooks.
Children of Dionysus- The powers of Dionysus' children are connected to the abilities of Demeter's children. They promote the growth of vegetation, especially wine grapes. Furthermore, children of Dionysus are able to cause madness in others. They're also rumored to have the ability to turn water and other drinks into different types of alcohol
Children of Psyche- Their mother being the goddess of the soul these children are usually quite good at fortune telling and prophecies. They also have instances where they can borrow parts of a person's personalities, powers, abilities, and even memories with just a touch.
Children of Athena- Although she is a virgin goddess, Athena can conceive children through a meeting of minds with her lovers. Demigods of battle and wisdom, they excel in intellectual pursuits and have exceptional skill in warfare. In particular, Athena's children excel in battle strategy.
Children of Ares- The children of Ares are more aggressive and confrontational than other demigods. Being demigods of war, Ares' children have power over weaponry with an extensive knowledge of warfare. Some are given their father's blessing of invincibility for their bold courage and righteous fury.
Children of Apollo- Apollo's children are superior archers, healers, and musicians. They also have the power to curse others with rhymed speech as their father is the god of poetry. In Ancient Greece, many of Apollo's children were blessed with foresight.
Hunters of Artemis- These Girls are known to have a silvery aura about them signifying to other demigods and monsters what they are. Along with having their godly parent's powers these girls are Immortal and unaging as well as superior archers that match that of Apollo children. They still can be killed in fights and weapons however, but not by diseases, age, or illness. They are eternally young unless they break their oath. These Girls are stronger, faster, and more accurate than the average demigod/nymph/mortal.
Children of Hephaestus- Like their father, children of Hephaestus are greatly skilled builders and craftsmen. Their talents as mechanics are second to none and they can instinctively detect as well as operate any piece of machinery. In rare cases, they are blessed by their father with the ability to generate fire.
Children of Aphrodite- Aphrodite's children are more attractive and have more subtle powers than other demigods. With their mother as the goddess of beauty and love, they are natural experts in fashion and matchmaking with power not only over jewelry and makeup but skill in love magic as well. Compared to other demigods, children of Aphrodite seem to have a greater clarity and sharper focus. They have the same affinity for French (the language of love) as all demigods do for Greek. Some of them are able to influence others with the strength of their voices.
Children of Hermes- Children of Hermes are more cunning and nimble than many demigods. Because Hermes is the god of dexterity, his children are considered to be very versatile in skill. In particular, they excel in athletics as well as thievery. Some children are also known to be able to teleport while others are quicker on their feet.
Children of Iris- Not much is known about their powers, they are usually skilled equestrians, it is not unusual to see them laying about the camp just staring up at the sky.
Children of Hypnos- The children of Hypnos are powerful yet highly underestimated demigods. They are experts with anything to do with the subconscious. In addition, they have an intimate knowledge of reality.
Children of Hecate- The children of Hecate are able to perform all ranges of sorcery or magic. Their powers strength are usually affected by the moon cycle.
Children of Morpheus- Morpheus' kids have roughly the same abilities as Hypnos Cabin, as Morpheus and Hypnos are gods of two close subjects; dreams and sleep.
Children of Circe- Children of Circe, much like the sons and daughters of Hecate, are extremely skilled with magic. Stereotypically Circe's kids are more into black magic, but this is not true. They have the ability to purge and dispel other magics, to varying extents depending on their strength and the strength of the caster, and of course, the relationship with the caster or in the case of dispelling a spell on them, the subject. Circe's kids are exceptionally skilled at transformation magics. There are, as with all powers, drawbacks if they go too far into the magic.
Children of Nemesis- The offspring of Nemesis have considerable skill and power over retribution. That is to say, if they have been wronged and caused pain, they can cause pain to those who have wronged them equivilent to what they have suffered. This pain is mental however, not physical. They also have the power to weigh the balance of good and bad, right and wrong, in a person's life just by looking deep into their eyes.
Children of Eos- Much like with the children of Apollo, the kids of Eos have influence over photokinesis. More so, in fact, than Apollo's children. There is always, in each one of Eos' children, a part of their body which can light up, and can get brighter depending on how strong their emotions get. They have the power to change the intensity and shape of the light, to use this for offensive or defensive strategies, but powers are affected by the time of day. Strongest at dawn, weakest at night, and the more energy put into an attack, the more drained a child of Eos becomes until the sun once again touches their skin. They are, essentially, rechargeable.
Children of Eros - Much like the children of Aphrodite, these children are known to play matchmaker. As Eros is the god of lust and desire, Many Children of Eros have the power to manipulate lust within others, to make them lust for themselves or anyone (anything that lives and breaths, much like Eros’ arrows do) around you. Of course, they can also take the lust away from others as well.
Children of Thanatos- Being yet another god of death like Hades, children of Thanatos also can have the ability to see and talk to the dead, but often this ability maybe limited to ghosts at the places they died or were buried. Some children of Thanatos maybe have limited ability to manipulate shadows as well. They may also know when a someone has died of a non-violent death as a sort of "death sense". In rare cases, a child of Thanatos has been know to be able to predict how long some one would have left if they were to die of natural causes.
Children of Khione - Being children of this Goddess, Khione children are known for being as cold as ice. They are usually resistant to cold, though the down side is they are prone to heat, and do not like to be around fire. and may have the ability to freeze objects, larger objects just get colder unless the child has a large amount of control over this ability, in warmer weather it won't last long though. In colder months, these demigods can make it snow and manipulate that snow.
