Demigods are mortal-born children of gods. Either the father or the mother is a deity from a pantheon.

They Live Among Us

To humans, demigods look like the mortal race one of their parents belongs to. Many live and die without the knowledge of their true parentage. Though they mix with the common folk, they feel different and try really hard to pass of as the race they look like. 

Heroes or Villains

Demi gods always make their mark in history. Perhaps they shall be known as one of the greatest emperors of a dynasty, or touted as the vilest wizard to ever graduate from a famous wizarding school, or maybe the biggest hero of a civilization. They are always destined for greatness, whether they know the truth of their Birth or not.

Demigod Names

Demigods use the naming conventions of their mortal parent's race. 

Well Respected and Arrogance

From an early age, their talents bloom. Mortals around them tend to consider them as special or prodigies. Mixed with a dysfunctional family life which usually involves one missing parent, they tend to be overly confident of their abilities and covet respect.
