Homebrew Demigod Species Details

Demigods

A demigod is a being whose father or mother was a god, whether from Asgard or Vanaheim. The demigod can sometimes posess the powers of their godly parent and can sometimes even be as powerful as them, although very rare. A demigod will always have a mortal parent, whether thay be a human, elf or jotunn. Whichever one they are they adopt the lifestyle and or traits of their mortal parent but deep inside have the blood of a god.

Types

Human - Human demigods are born and raised in Midgard. They can vary in personality. Humans usually steer towards power or the safety of the ones they love the most. Human demigods can be smart, wise or can be very much the opposite. Just like any human, human demigods are the way they are due to the way they grew up or the people around them.

Elven - Elven demigods are born and raised in Alfheim. Elfs who live in the upper class are usually very strict and tend to care only about themselves, materialistic items, taking them for granted and the cleanliness of their homes. Middle Class elves are not much different to upper class elves except for the fact that they do care about family and what other people feel, altough not very much. Elves who live in the lower class areas of Alfheim are very sociable and usually likeable. They care about others more than anything else and do not care about money. They are not very fond of the upper class...

Dwarven - Dwarven demigods are born and raised in Svartalfheim or more commonly named by the dwarves, Nidavellir. Dwarves are the complete opposite to upper class elves, forging every item they use and naming all of them. This creates an emotional attatchment to the object. Dwarves have a very grungy type of humour, very similar to humans, and tend to be very rough. They live underground and are renound forgers. Demigods that are dwarves are usually sons or daughters of the goddess Freya, who has been around the block in Nidavellir. The one thing they have in common with the upper class elves is their attunement to money.

Giant - Giant (or Jotunn) demigods are usually born in Jotunheim, or Muspelheim but can be raised in any of the 9 realms (except maybe Asgard, Vanaheim and Helheim). There are many different types of Giants, the most common being Earth Giants, Fire Giants and Frost Giants. Giants are not usually large but in the case of giants like Jormungandr, they most certainly are. Giants are renound for being mischievous and tricky but are loyal to their king Utgard-Loki. They don't care much about homes and just socialise with other giants, from going to parties to smashing other giants heads in for fun. Not all Giants are like this but they it is rare for that to be the case.
