History
Sue Adams was in her mechanic shop working on a broken down car, but she stumbled across a problem in the car that she didn't know how to fix. Hephaestus was going on a leisurely stroll and heard Sue growl in frustration. He went into her shop and asked, "Is there was anything I could do to help?" Sue looked at him and said, "If you could fix this damn part, that would be great." So, Hephaestus went under the car and fixed the very part Sue was having troubles with. Sue was astonished, but also very grateful. She asked, "How did you do that?" Hephaestus gladly explained it to her, after all, he was feeling attracted to her. Sue, impressed by his ability with mechanics, offered him a job at her shop. Hephaestus happily took the job. Several months later, after getting to know each other and falling in love, Sue found out she was pregnant with Phoebe. Hephaestus was present for Phoebe's delivery, but he left soon after.

All her life she has known that she is a daughter of Hephaestus. Her mother, Sue Adams, has raised her in Marquette, Michigan. Her mother never stopped talking about him, even though she likely should have. She was always reminded of her father when there was a fire glowing in the fireplace or when she visited her mother's mechanic shop. She lived a quiet life until she reached her 12th birthday.

Her mom was cutting into her birthday cake when a hellhound burst in through the kitchen window. Sue, being able to see through the Mist, saw the monster. Using the staff that Hephaestus gifted to Phoebe, she fought the monster. It was a terrible battle, Sue fought with all her might but was on the verge of losing. Phoebe did not fully understand what was happening,but all that she knew was that her mom was in trouble. She screamed, "Stop!" And the hellhound started burning alive. Phoebe grabbed the staff her mother was using and slayed the monster with it. The fight was over, but now Sue had to explain what happened to her daughter.

Sue told Phoebe that not only did she dread this day, but that from now on, she would have to live at Camp Halfblood, for her safety because she was a demigod. Phoebe didn't want to leave and convinced her mother to let her stay at home for a few more years. At first, it only happened once a year, but once she turned 16... Monsters started showing up at least once a month. It finally, it got to the point where it was too dangerous for Phoebe to live at home. Her mother, Sue, drove her all the way to Long Island, but, while she was walking her up the hill. A hellhound attacked, and it was the same one that interrupted her 12th birthday. It was back for revenge. Her mother told her to run to the top of the hill because she would be safe there. As she wept, knowing her mother's fate, she ran. Her mother died ensuring that she would reach camp alive.

Offensive

 * 1) Children of Hephaestus have the ability to create and control fire; however, it is extremely chaotic and will burn anything near it no matter the intention of the child of Hephaestus. They can shoot fireballs, streams of fire and coat weapons in flame. The more fire summoned and controlled, the more energy is drained.

Defensive

 * 1) Children of Hephaestus can become resistant to all types of physical attacks for a short time.
 * 2) Children of Hephaestus are able to create a wall of stone, no larger than 2 to 3 times the size of the user, to temporarily block attacks

Passive

 * 1) Children of Hephaestus are innately extremely resistant to heat and fire.
 * 2) Children of Hephaestus are innately stronger and faster than others.
 * 3) Children of Hephaestus possess an ability to instantly understand how to use and wield any weapon they possess with no training beforehand.

Supplementary

 * 1) Children of Hephaestus have the ability to release heat from their hands in order to cauterize an open wound.
 * 2) Children of Hephaestus are able to create a smoke screen that suffocates and hinders enemies for a short time, using it to either escape or do one sneak attack
 * 3) Children of Hephaestus have the ability to control a single mechanical object with their mind; doing so, however, immobilizes the child of Hephaestus until control is broken. This only works on objects mechanically controlled, not objects controlled by magic.
 * 4) Children of Hephaestus can telekinetically move weapons under their own possession and use. They can move up to 3 large weapons at a time, such as swords, axes and hammers. Or up to 10 small weapons such as throwing stars, knives and caltrops. The longer weapons are telekinetically held, the more energy is drained.

3 Months After Character is Made

 * 1) Children of Hephaestus have the ability to curse an opponent’s weapons, armor and shields, make it softer, somewhat fragile or even rusted. This would last for a short time and make it easier for the user to attack. They can also repair weapons and armor with a thought and enchant weapons/armor to perform/defend against twice the amount of damage for a short time.

6 Months After Character is Made

 * 1) Children of Hephaestus are able to summon a humanoid automaton to fight for them for a short time, the automaton cannot be bigger than 2-3 times the size of the user. It may possess one weapon of the user’s choice and will take a basic appearance of a Greek soldier, but the user can customize their armor or facial appearance. The automaton will have no special abilities other than it’s strength, stamina and endurance. ( No powers over Electricity, Magnetism, Flight. etc) The user however has a hard time moving while the automaton is present. The automaton will follow any command of the user, after a short time the automaton will crumble and fall apart. The user will be left quite drained.

9 Months After Character is Made

 * 1) Children of Hephaestus can transform their bodies into pure metal for a short time, making them stronger and far more durable. They can also shift and transform parts of their body into weapons in this state. They also have the option to add an incredible amount of heat to their metal form, doing this would make the transformation even more draining than before. Choosing to become molten metal means the user burns anything they touch, enhancing their offensive abilities. Once the transformation is complete, the user is incredibly drained. Even moving wouldn’t be possible for a long time and they could possibly faint.
