Forum:Aphrodite power changes

Hello Administration, I am new here and will  proceed to create some characters soon. But I have something i would like to discuss (or in this Case, seggust).

As I was Looking at The Cabins, I can Across the Aphrodite Cabin and saw that while the information presiding her history Is good for her, and her powers need a teeny touch up. The powers reguarning her children are inacurate (by both Riorden and Theoi standards). Now, do not take this the wrong way, I would like to say that I find this site very intruiging, I want to change a few things regurding the powers for the children.

As far As I remember, The goddess of Love, Beauty and Desire had no control over clams (or mirrors for that fact). she may have risen from a clam in the water, yes, but she had control over roses and pedals and perfume than she did clams. I ask that instead of shooting clams, her children should have control over roses, to sharpen them, use them as a shield or even ride them. or something different, that is fine.

Aphrodite has power over love, sexual desire and I propose that her children have power over healing (or killing) via a kiss (or at the very least with charmspeak, Piper could do this by bringing festus to life and using his powers when detachd from the ship, and to wake up jason when he saw Hera's true form).

If your going about the riorden scene, then It has stated that she had manipulation over a pink love energy that has enough power to destry her temple (accidentally I might add). and that must mean that she had considerable control over that to. So, I believe that her children shuld have control over that same energy (probably to create controcts that are (as you say, that are not to exxeed 2 to 3 times the size of the user).

One last thing, Aphrodite had considerable control over using hers or someon elses emotions  to change reality As she did to cause herself to change her appearence, changing people into a tree( while a baby sprouts out apperently), conjuration, bringing objects to life (which is a powerful feat none-the less). So, At the very least at the nine month mark, that children of aphrodite have this ability (of course to an extent) instead of the maze of mirors. Children of Eris have this abilities. Eris was the goddess of a protogenoi and so was Aphrodite, acording to hesoid. And some other gods have that ability on this site, but that is beside the point.

If you want proof of that last paragraph then check Theoi itself and riordens wiki page. Changing her appearence was already given to her kids. Changing people into objects comes from the story of adonis. The conjuring was from the story of Psyche to which she conjured a box for her. The life creation was the story of Pygmalion where she turned a statue into a real person.

Aphrodite is a considerably powerful goddess with the recognition i believe she deserves. if you want me to contact an admin about this change, I will.
