General Advice Post for New Demigods
(Note: I am not an expert, this is mainly compiled from other people/epiphanies)
I’ve seen lots of people in the demigod community making posts about the upcoming war, so I just wanted to make a general one! This is a General Advice Post for Newbies (TM).
A demigod is a half-god, half-human, formed by an energy collision between a god and a human. When the human meets another human, the child born from the event will be a demigod. Unlike PJO, this is a purely energetic process.
Not all demigods are dyslexic, and not all of them can effortlessly see through the mist. Not all of us can speak Greek , Latin or the other language of your pantheon.
Effort
Even if you might not be in this prophecy (like myself) PLEASE DO NOT LET THAT STOP YOU FROM PUTTING IN THE WORK. Do not think that excuses you from it either!
Don’t take a backseat to the action because you think you won’t be featured. Every little effort helps.
For those of us who do have a vital part to play, good luck.
MORTALS. I have no idea what they’ll be seeing, but keep them in mind. Your patience might be short with them on some stressful days, but please remember they (well, generally) have NO IDEA what is going on.
listen to what your divine parent is telling you! Epiphanies and visions are all valid!
Please remember it’s okay to not agree with every decision made.
Please also know in most cases, your godly parent will appreciate your asking for advice and will generally be helpful!
PLEASE DO NOT GO OUT AND FIGHT MONSTERS UNLESS:
you are on a quest with a group
you are with someone powerful.
Do not fight them alone! If you run into one, run away and hope it ignores you. If it notices you, distract it and run!
celestial bronze /stygian iron exists, but it will not make you safer. Refer to below.
do not be afraid to ask for help. Gods, nymphs, Hunters of Artemis, anyone.
monsters come in all shapes, sizes, and disguises. You’ll know it’s a monster if it looks like a fantasy creature, uncanny, or if it flickers slightly. If you get a bad vibe from an area, better to avoid it and be safe.
don’t fight monsters. See above.
Camp Half-Blood and Camp Jupiter exist. If you’re not a Greek or Roman demigod, I’m sure there are other places that serve the same function.
Camp exists astrally and physically. I’ve never been, but I will probably try to go soon before the war. I recommend going!
How do I know who my godly parent is?
I don’t recommend forcing an answer, but if you are desperate, divination or just calling on them works
yes! It’s based on a real demigods story. The show is rather inaccurate, so I recommend reading the books.
Can you be a magical hero and a demigod?
yes! Actually quite few of us are magical heroes. Myself included.
can you have more than one godly parent?
Can I be more powerful than my godly parent?
I’m pretty sure in most cases the answer to this is no.
