Offensive[]
- Children of Aphrodite can create a large plume of dense perfume or make-up which obscures them and begins to suffocate anyone else within it. This can give the user a chance to attack.
- Children of Aphrodite have the ability to fire razor sharp scallop shells at high speed which can be shot fast enough that they could pierce the skin on impact. The shells would materialize and fire from the user’s palms, so the size of them depends on the user.
Defensive[]
- Children of Aphrodite can cause people of any gender to lose all desire to attack them for a short time. Out of an artificial love, the love isn’t necessarily romantic and could be like sibling love. If the user attacks while this is in effect, it will automatically wear off.
- Children of Aphrodite have the ability to entrap an enemy in a large scallop shell, similar to the one their mother emerged from at birth. Once closed, the clam is extremely difficult to escape from. It is highly durable and cannot be teleported out of, after a short time the clam will fade from existence. The target cannot be attacked while they are inside the clam, so the power is purely defensive. It can only be summoned twice in the same fight.
Passive[]
- Children of Aphrodite cause anyone who possesses a sexual orientation towards them to be at least slightly, attracted to them.
- Children of Aphrodite have the ability to be able to resist charm speak, a charming touch etc. to an extent.
- Children of Aphrodite have the innate ability to be able to resist the effects of pheromones to an extent.
- Children of Aphrodite are able to communicate with and command doves. If the user gives too many commands, the doves will become frustrated and disobey.
Supplementary[]
- Children of Aphrodite can alter their appearance (including clothes and make-up) for short periods of time, the more they alter their appearance, and the longer they maintain the appearance, the more energy it drains.
- Children of Aphrodite can curse someone to feel like they’re completely hated and unloved, they’ll feel like they’re ugly and will sink into self-pity for a short time. This gives the user a chance to attack or flee.
- Children of Aphrodite can infuse magic into their words and ‘charm-speak’ another into doing their will or revealing a secret to them; the person will remain under the control of the charm-speak for a few minutes or until control is relinquished, the longer the control is kept.
- Children of Aphrodite can control the clothing of others, create and transform it at will (not armor). They could turn a girl’s prom dress into a red bikini, create a scarf around someone’s neck and command it to strangle someone etc. Commands and transformations only last for a short time and the target’s clothes revert to normal.
3 Months After Character is Made[]
- Children of Aphrodite are able to turn into a dove, which allows them flight, the longer they maintain this form, the more energy is drained.
6 Months After Character is Made[]
- Children of Aphrodite have the ability to control the levels of hormones related to love in humans; serotonin, dopamine, and norepinephrine. The user has the ability to increase or decrease each of these hormones separately or all together. Increases in serotonin will make the target go temporarily insane and decreases will make the target become depressed, while increases in dopamine will make the target super sensitive to their surroundings and decreases will stiffen the movements of the target. Increases in norepinephrine will increase the rate of heart contractions of the target and decreases in this hormone can result in severely lowered heart rate. The use of this power can be extremely draining for the user depending on how extreme the alterations of the hormone levels are.
9 Months After Character is Made[]
- Children of Aphrodite have the ability to transform an area into a maze of mirrors for a moderate period of time, as one of their mother’s attributes was a mirror. Whilst in the maze, the user’s target can become disoriented and confused as all they can see is their own appearance, however, the glass is somewhat durable and cannot be broken easily. The user can move about while the maze is in place, and the sight of their own beautiful reflection empowers them a little. They innately know their way through the maze, as they created it, but they cannot change the layout of the maze once it is in place. The size of the maze depends on how large the user would like it; they can range in size up to that of a battle arena, however, the larger it is the more the user is drained. After dismantling the maze, the user is significantly drained and may not be able to move for a moderate period of time.
Traits[]
- Children of Aphrodite almost always have innate knowledge of the French language since it’s known as "the language of love" and pheromones related to love in humans.
- Children of Aphrodite are known for being incredibly attractive, seductive and flirty.
- Children of Aphrodite often enjoy things that are pretty and things that bring them pleasure. Making them quite fashionable, fun-loving and sometimes promiscuous.
- Children of Aphrodite commonly have a taste for apples.
- The son was forced to choose between Aphrodite, Aglaea, and Psyche as to who was the prettiest and most powerful goddess. Like Paris from the Illiad.
- The goddesses gifted him with children to try and sway him towards choosing them
- Pietro chose Aglaea
- The other two goddesses, enraged, both cursed Pietro to be constantly attacked by monsters
- as revenge, Eros who cursed all three children to look like the daughter of Aglaea to remind the two goddesses of their loss.
- The three girls were unaware of this fact and they only found out about having different god parents when they were claimed
- as revenge, Eros who cursed all three children to look like the daughter of Aglaea to remind the two goddesses of their loss.
- they grew up very comfortably
- their wealth was highly problematic
- because you know-it was blood money and Pietro had gained it from illegal ways but you know, they were kids. they didn't know any better.
- However, this money meant that he could afford demigod based security and kept most of the guards away from the triplets. However, this wasn't bullet proof. At the age of seven, Paris was alone having snuck off and was attacked by a harpy. Luckily, her screams were enough to catch a security guard's attention who disposed of the monster easily.
- Life was pretty comfortable for the next few years. They were all positioned as child stars, and it wasn't hard with their fathers money. Poppy was a successful singer, and Piper was a successful actress. And Paris? Well, she was the writer. The one who shied away from the spotlight. She wrote and wrote most of Piper's songs, even managed to write a few of Poppy's scripts. This meant Paris was the one who was able to complete her education.
- They were spoilt and overprotected, hence why they never went to camp.
- Too bad their past caught up to them.
- At the age of seventeen, Piper found their dad floating in the middle of a pool dead. Like Gatsby. He'd been hunted down by some enemy-the girls' never found out. They weren't apart of their father's business. They never asked.
- However, this meant that they weren't protected. They didn't have their father to protect them and they inherited every cent of his fortune. There was a lot of people out for revenge and the three girls were the only ones they could target with Pietro gone.
- So they had to go to camp. Their father had a satyr come find them, given strict instructions to help them to camp if something were to happen to hi.
- The journey was hard, difficult, and by the time they reached camp, at the age of eighteen, all three were shaken up and pretty miserable.
- They started out in the state of Washington, they were there for a holiday, rather than their home in Boston.
- What a welcome sight it was to find out none of them had the same god parent and that they weren't as complete as they had previously thought.
Paris could very much be once described as spoilt. Who could blame her? She grew up with wealth. But over the past year, she's definitely grown from the person she use to be. Emulating the greats, her head in the cloud, an imagination that had run wild. Childhood innocence. No more of that, now she's more cautious, thoughtful, distrustful of the shadows. She's matured, to say the least. She still finds it easier to lose herself in her own fantasy world than to face the real world. What can she say? It's better to be in her head than to look at the news. She is intelligent, sure, she's able to hold a conversation but she'd much rather not to delve into anything that might make her head spin. All she wants to do is to enjoy being able to sleep in a proper bed again.
