Homebrew Demi-god Species Details
Hardy half-mortal half-god beings. Some follow their godly parent and others don't, even though they have powers from them.
They can be very chaotic.
Danger and Monsters follow them or tend to attack them first because of their godly blood is wanted more and smells much stronger.
They look like a mix of both parents no matter the Earthly parent race. They also are only around the culture of their Earthly parent and will not know their godly parent until their powers reveal themselves to the character even then they most likely do not know why they have such powers. Not until they come across the Fellowship of Half-Bloods. When at the Half-Blood Haven they find their godly parent after being claimed or given a miraculous sign by their godly-parent. They are also protected from monsters that wish to attack them within the Haven by a magical barrier.
There are some demi-gods or half-bloods that aren't really part god, such as Hera who is a virgin goddess. She blesses a mortal child with the properties of a demi-god to represent her among the mortals. These blessed demi-gods are very rare though.
