## Powers & Abilities

### Powers

The Olympian Gods and Goddesses are incredibly powerful beings that possess abilities such as: near omnipotence, immortality, superhuman strength, shape-shifting, teleportation, and omnipresence. The gods also possess energy- based abilities, such as magic abilities and energy projection. They can grant powers to non-godly thing, since some are capable of life-giving to objects or giving supernatural powers to those who don't possess it with ease.

Each god has specific powers based on what they force represent, but they all share certain powers and even abilities specific to their individual domains can sometimes overlap. Each of the Big Three, after overthrowing the Titans, took one of the three physical domains on earth (the heavens, ocean, and the underworld). This is why the Big Three are the most powerful and influential gods on Olympus.

In addition to their immortality, all gods draw most off their power from their sphere of control or domain, but they all share certain powers, and even abilities specific to their individual domains can sometimes overlap. They possess the ability to live forever without fear of aging or dying. But Demigods do not visibly age; as they possess a form of agelessness.
			* Alleged **True Immortality:** Unlike Asgardians (Aesir & Vanir), all Olympians are true immortals. They cease to age upon reaching adulthood and cannot die by conventional means. Their bodies are also immune to all known Earthly terrestrial diseases and resistant to conventional injury.
			* Gods consume a divine food and drink called nectar and ambrosia. It is too powerful for mortals to eat under normal circumstances as they will literally burst into flames, yet in some myths, the gods have used nectar and ambrosia to bestow immortality upon a mortal, though it's more likely that the nectar and ambrosia are specially prepared for a mortal. Demigods, however, can consume small amounts of both in order to regain strength and heal wounds, though too much will make them ill or destroy them in the same way it would a mortal.

However, if an Olympian is injured, his or her godly life force enables him or her to recover with superhuman levels of speed and efficiency. As with most of their other powers, the speed and extent of these powers varies from one Olympian to another. For instance, most Olympians are unable to naturally regenerate missing limbs or organs while a small minority can, unless if they use magical assistance to do so.
			* **Superhuman Speed**: All Olympians have the potential of being able to run and move at speeds much greater than the finest human athlete. They and their Demigods possess tremendous level of superhuman speed.

	+ Some gods have abilities related to their specific domain. For instance, Poseidon has control over water, and Apollo having control over the sun.

### Abilities

All Olympians possess specific skills associated with their area of expertise. For example, as the Olympian God of War, Ares is a formidable combatant with extensive knowledge of both armed and unarmed combat where as Aphrodite, Olympian Goddess of Love, is highly skilled in all forms of physical and sexual pleasure. Most Olympians have had some degree of armed and unarmed combat training.

* **Genius-Level Intellect / Supernatural/Absolute Intellect/Wisdom:** Olympian Gods and Demigods are highly intelligent.
	+ Essence Reading
* **Master Hand-To-Hand Combatant/Supernatural Unarmed Combat:** Olympian Gods and Demigods are highly skilled hand-to-hand combatants.
	+ **Divine Combat** - They are so enhanced in combat that with a weapon enemy thing not divine are close or above there power level do not stand a chance fighting them and wining.
* Weapon Proficiency
	+ Divine Weaponry/Transcendent Weaponry
	+ Magic Weaponry
* **Allspeak:** Thanks to the Allspeak, they can communicate and be understood by all races. Gods also adapt to their host country's culture when they move with Western Civilization, and if they stay long enough it can become a permanent part of their aspects (but they have to remain in the Western World & NOT the Eastern World). The gods are also able to speak multiple languages.

### Weaknesses

* However, gods are not all-powerful. They can tire or be overpowered by immortals and even powerful demigods. If they choose to engage in a physical battle they can be injured through the proper weaponry. However, because gods can exist in many places at once, only a fraction of their power is used in combat against demigods.
* Though they are mighty, the gods do have weaknesses. They can be injured by supernatural weapons (whether it's made from Celestial Bronze, Imperial Gold, Stygian Iron [only in Hades, the Greek Underworld], Divine Silver or Adamantine), but are invulnerable to conventional physical attacks. Magic can harm them too; also, they can't break through magic chains (whether it's made from Celestial Bronze, Imperial Gold, Stygian Iron [only in Hades, the Greek Underworld], Divine Silver or Adamantine) that wrapped them unless broken by another god/goddess.
* **Divine Laws**: Despite their immense power, gods are bound by laws and oaths sworn upon the River Styx. However, due to their immortal nature, breaking such oaths doesn't have severe consequences to them most of the time, although it may have consequences on people they care or cared about.
	+ No god can enter the domain of another unless invited by the lord/lady of said domain or unless their domain overlaps. The only known gods to freely travel the worlds are Hermes and Iris, both of which are the messenger deities.
	+ No god can directly steal the symbol of power of another. This applies to both the Titans and Olympians. As mortals and demigods are free from this rule, this is the reason why Zeus knew a hero or mortal had stolen his Master Bolt.
	+ Gods are limited to how much they can interfere in mortal affairs. This rule is a decree of Zeus, so it depends on how much he enforces it or knows about it. Some gods have violated this rule without incurring any punishment, such as Apollo or Hera.
	+ Immortals can only fight demigods after being challenged or attacked first. However, Titans have been shown to ignore this rule. It is likely, though, that this rule isn't compulsory.
* **Lust**: Gods are, in general, lustful — with the exceptions of the maiden goddesses and deities of marriage — and often have many illegitimate children, both immortal and demigod.
* **Immaturity & Arrogance**: Most gods also tend to be petty or immature and a lot of them are arrogant and underestimate their opponents. Because the gods are immortal, they feel little reason to change or adapt (except to adapt to their current home) as a result they often lack maturity or sense of personal growth, often resulting in many broken promises.
* If a god or goddess is magically bounded or trapped in a magical prison of some kind, his or her power is useless, as the magical bindings act as an anchor keeping them in place, akin to a bear caught in a trap. Some examples of this are the situations of Hera and Artemis respectively as well as Hephaestus trapping Aphrodite and Ares together in a magic net in older myths.
* **Pride, Arrogance/Narcissism & Egotism**: In addition, like Humans (on the Left & the political/bureaucratic/global elites [especially in power & in the media, etc.]), the gods (excluding the Good Gods) can be very prideful of the things they do or the choices they make. They are often too proud to admit when they need help or when they have committed mistakes, instead believing themselves to be beyond help from regular mortals and demigods. Gods generally believe that they should be feared and respected. Due to their pride & selfishness, they see admitting they need help as a sign of weakness. Furthermore, the gods will show signs of contempt towards the children of their enemies, sometimes even if those children are the offspring of other gods, most likely since Divine Laws prevent gods from attacking each other directly and thus do fight through their demigod offspring. It is these traits that often cause many beings, both mortal and immortal alike, to hate the gods and the reason why the gods are occasionally viewed as being no better than the Titans.
* **Other Gods**: Despite there immortality, Olympian Gods are not (truly) un-killable; as the only thing that can kill the old gods are other gods; such as Demigods and the New Gods of New Genesis and Apokolips respectively.
	+ Another known way to permanently defeat a god is to scatter their essence. This happened to Ouranos, Cronus and Gaia. If they are defeated in a way that scatters their essence enough, they will be unable to reform and create a consciousness or a body ever again.
* **Power Loss**: Olympian powers are dependent on the faith of their followers. A god can survive a lack of worship or loss of their domain so long as their will to live is strong enough. Otherwise, they will fade. However, even if their will is strong enough they won't be powerful enough to maintain a physical form, as Kronos was able to survive, due to sheer willpower, yet remain powerless in Tartarus. If their thrones (or other sources of power) are destroyed, they will also fade along with it or become so weakened that they can no longer take a physical form.
