There's the really competitive archer kids who do all the sports and probably dance and spar and then end the day suntanning and singing songs around the campfire. They can hit any target with any weapon. Yeah, bow and arrow is best, but they've also got a mean throwing arm for knives or darts or even a baseball. Rocks? Sure. They hit the target. One kid realized it even translates to modern weapons when they went hunting with their mortal friends during the school year with a hunting rifle. They made every shot. More than that, they also do well with other sports like javelin. They're also ambidextrous and have no trouble making shots with either available hand. This somehow also translates to their feet and in a pinch they can also kick to make targets. Turns out these Apollo kids do very well at most sports. You'll find these Apollo kids excelling at any ball sport, soccer included. These are the Apollo kids who are also best at dancing along with some of the musical Apollo kids.
Music kids? They play every instrument. They're bugging the Hephaestus kids to build them custom instruments. They might even luthie their own instruments if they're ambitious enough. They brag about perfect pitch and complain about tone. They're always leading the campfire songs. Any time is the right time to jam. They can manipulate sound, project their voice, and use supersonic and subsonic wave patterns to effect their vocal tone to mimic voices. This also means odd vibration patterns that disturb mortals and demigods alike. It doesn't necessarily change the voice, but the sensation rattles the listener to the core and can manipulate the emotional state of the listener in any direction - similar to charmspeak. Can be used for good or bad, just like how music can evoke a range of emotions.
Then there's your healer kids. They're more focused and nerdy. Bookish. May make up absurd couplets and poems to memorize bones and muscle groups. Might use some prophecy/precognition to tell if the healing will work or is worth pursuing or where to start the process. Also might have heat powers, perfect for cauterizing wounds. Might use music to enhance or guide their healing as well if they're into that.
Poetry kids are a different breed. You'd think they'd be the tame ones. They're quiet. Probably nose in a book, might hang with the Demeter kids or the Athena kids, right? No threat? But they'll curse you with rhyming. They have the Iliad memorized. They know so much history from all they read and consume. They can flawlessly weave words in poetic devices like the best speech writers you've ever met. Sharp tongues. Cunning jokes. Did they just tell you a casual story in a chiasmic structure? Yes. Yes they did. How? Not important. The art of poetry compels and they are a very convincing and captivating, striking kind. People really listen when they talk. And if they have gifts of prophecy? You better watch out because that links up so hard and their more obscure poetry might be saying something. Or they might be able to will things into existence by what they say or write in their poetry.
