Hermes

"Hermes is the Greek god of roads, travel, loads, gymnasiums, athletes, diplomacy, orators, thieves, commerce, trade, and invention. He is the messenger of the gods." 
Generally when claimed, white wings appear on the demigod's back for a few minutes.

Hermes children live in Deme 11 in the Hermes cabin
=== Demigod Powers ===
=== Major ===
Super Speed (Major or Minor) 
* Sometimes a child of Hermes is blessed with speed. They can run exceptionally fast, sometimes even seeming like a blur (level 7-8). But, much like charmspeak and pyrokinesis, this is an uncommon trait, only seen in THREE of his children. 
Clauditiskinesis (Major or Minor) 
* Children of Hermes have the ability to almost instantly know the inner workings of a lock.
* Level 1-3: Can unlock almost any normal lock aside from cursed ones
* Level 4-6: Can sense and deactivate traps placed on locks
* Level 7-8: Can use minor telekinesis to turn bolts in locks and open doors
Thieving aptitudes (Minor/Major) 
* As a trickster god and special black-ops agent of Zeus (See: Typhon and the Tendon heist; Argus and the Io Exfiltration, etc.), Hermes has always had a way with the art of stealth, misdirection and overall mischief. It is only natural that he would grant some of his children such enhanced subversive abilities. 
* Level 1-3: Beyond their given powers, Children of Hermes on the lower end of this skill are able to blend in with shrubbery or crowds of people- becoming almost indistinguishable to those that haven't seen their face before- for approximately 15 minutes. They may also hide an item roughly the size of their hand in such a way that it would be impossible to find without spells. Only other children of Hermes- and the hider themselves- would be able to find it unassisted.
* Level 4-6: Even those who know children of Hermes would find it extremely challenging to distinguish them from a group of people or shrubbery, and their capacity for hiding items grows to comical levels. Items the size of cows can be hidden in plain sight- undetectable without magic, even to other children of Hermes. Only the hider would know where the object is.
* Level 7: Any tracks or clues the child of Hermes leaves behind will lead to the exact opposite place to where they are. Cunning detectives who know this might use this fact to their advantage- but it is a voluntary effect, meaning it can be turned on/off at the Hermes kid's convenience.
* Level 8: By use of a simple mask, children of Hermes can Scooby-doo themselves into looking like anyone. The disguise cannot give them new abilities, and can only last one day. If the mask is pulled, all of the disguise falls apart, and the same ability cannot be used until the next day.
Boundary Traps (major/minor) 
* Despite the name of this power the effects aren’t always negative. This is the ability to create a physical boundary of any type and then enforce it with magic. Only children of Hermes and the people they allow can cross this boundary since Hermes was the god of border crossing. Also this power can only be used once per day. 
* Level 1: they can summon one piece of calk to help with this power, and the chalk will only be plain white calk. The boundary can have a diameter of five feet and either keep one person in or two people out. The boundary can be crossed by any child of Hermes. It’ll last for two turns. 
* Level 2: they can now pick what color the calk is when they summon it, same limits as before though. 
* Level 3: same limits as before, however only claimed children of Hermes can cross the boundary with no issues.
* Level 4: the boundary can have a diameter of ten feet and can keep two people in or four people out. It’ll last for four turns. 
* Level 5: same limits as before, however now they can block their siblings from crossing the boundary too. 
* Level 6: same diameter as before, but now they can keep three people in or six people out. Also it’ll last for six turns. 
* Level 7: it can have a diameter of up to fifteen feet, and keep four people in or eight people out. Lasts for eight turns 
* Level 8: they can keep five people in or ten people out. It’ll last for ten turns.

Persuasion (Minor) 
* Children of Hermes can be especially persuasive when they put their minds to it. While it's not charmspeak, they're known to use their charm and words to convince others, sometimes by confusing them so badly that they relent. 
* If you roll:
** 1-5: fail
** 6-10: roll again
** 11-15: They’re confused and kinda do what you ask.
** 16-20: They’re persuaded and partially follow through
* Level 1: 1-2 people in a 5 foot radius
* Level 2: 5 in a 10 foot radius 
* Level 3: up to 10 people in a 15 foot radius. This is exhausting.
Lost Souls (Minor)
* Hermes guides souls to the afterlife. While any abilities from this aspect of him are sparse in his kids they do sometimes pop up. This ability allows his kids to call upon lost souls to aid them in battle or whatever other activities dead people can help with. Once the souls have done their job they get immediately transported to the underworld as a thank you. This power may only be used once a day. 
* Level 1: They can call upon one soul which will aid them for three turns. 
* Level 2: They can call upon two souls which will aid them for six turns.
* Level 3: They can call upon three souls which will aid them for nine turns. 
Money Manipulation (Minor) 
* Children of Hermes tend to be good with money, and often subconsciously slightly influence bets, the stock market, and other monetary transactions to be in their favor without realizing it. They can also summon some money
* Level 1: Able to “summon” up to $50 USD
* Level 2: $100 USD
* Level 3: $200 USD
Bag Expansion (Minor)
* Hermes kids can enchant their pockets and bags with some extra space to store goodies.
* 1- can create an inch more worth of space 
* 2- can create two inches more worth of space 
* 3- can create four inches more worth of space

Magic Fingers (Given)
* Children of Hermes are also naturally skilled with their hands. They make excellent pickpockets, thieves, and even magicians.
Omnilingualism (Given)
* the power to speak every language, only when it’s spoken to them first 
Zoolingualism (Given) 
* Since Hermes’ caduceus is known for the two snakes intertwined around it, children of Hermes generally have the power to communicate with snakes.
How did you…? (Given)
* Hermes kids have incredible organizational and bs-ery skills, allowing them to fit items in places they should probably not normally fit
Internal Compass (Given) 
* Hermes kids seldom get lost since their father is the god of travelers
…Master of None (Given)
* Children of Hermes tend to be “jacks of all trades”, but they find their learning stunted when wanting to master things that don’t fall under their father’s domain.
Little messenger (given) 
* It’s not uncommon for the gods (mainly Hermes when he’s feeling lazy) to teleport things to a Hermes demigod. The thing that needs delivering will simply appear in their hands and they have no choice but to deliver it unless they want to anger the gods.
Darling of the demigods (given)
* Children of Hermes are somehow seen as trustworthy even though they are known to be trickers. Even people who know better than to trust Hermes kids find themselves willing to hear them out.
