PJO ROMAN DEMIGOD HEADCANONS:💀PLUTO: GOD OF THE DEAD, RICHES, LORD OF THE UNDERWORLD 💎
Author’s Note: It's the UNDERWORLD KIDS! Not too much of a difference and honestly because since Death is universal, Pluto and Hades don't have that major difference. So you can take bits and pieces from the Hades Demigod work I did and plop it into here. Or not, you do you.

Another one of those situations where regardless of whether they are the child of their Greek or Roman version of their godly parent, basically nothing changes.
More likely than not, you’re one of the displaced out of time children of Hades/Pluto and you're guided by Nico, and later Hazel. If you don’t belong to the displaced group, you’ll still feel displaced. People revere and respect Hades/Pluto, but also fear. One of the few consolations is that between Hades and Pluto there is little difference to their persona so you don’t have to deal with the split personas that the other gods and demigods have to deal with, for death is universal.
Because death and respect of the underworld is universal, I already mentioned a lot of Pluto’s demigods and headcanons with the Hades, demigods. This also means this is one of those exceptions to the demigods, where the greeks and romans demigods of Hades and Pluto all come together and gather in solidarity with each other because of it.
Honestly, it’s hard to tell if one is a child of Pluto or Hades and the only reason you can tell is if you go to be claimed; but even then, Roman claims don’t seem to happen as often as people think unlike their Greek counterparts.
I mentioned this in my Hades Demigod Headcanons, where if Nico found you, he introduces you to Hazel. If you stick with the Roman camp, Hazel shows the ropes around Camp Jupiter and New Rome, letting you choose to stay, go in and out, or not associate with the Roman camp like Nico does.
Hazel tells you about her affinity with the Riches of the underworld while Nico is more adept with the Dead. It might be the same for you, where your powers and abilities suit one or the other. Regardless which is which, both Nico and Hazel offer you their support, however it may come to be, while also letting you find your own footing and independence.
In the Roman camp and New Rome, you have the duty as the child of the Underworld to oversee and manage any funeral rites. You work with the children of Ceres alongside, helping them adorn the dead with flowers and offerings. Unlike the children of specifically Hades, you have a better compatibility with plants because of this.
Hades is such a mood because he just. was wholeheartedly absent from his kids lives and then came in out of nowhere, gave one a zombie chauffeur, gave the other some colored pencils, and went back to the land of the dead.
A child of Hades/Pluto who prefers working with Fossils and Dinosaur bones, rather than those of deceased heroes/mortals while these use their powers. Also, riding into battle on the back of a T-Rex or Sabertooth Tiger is a major flex.
