Dionysus, but Trojan

Dionysus is the Greek god of grape-harvest, wine, madness, parties, religious ecstasy, and theater. His emoji is 🍇

## Relations with the Trojans

**Everyday Citizens**

They are very confused by Dionysus. He seems to like them since every time they have a party he gives them really good fruit punch. However, he will not answer any prayers or calls for help. Some people think that he wants to help and is just scared because of Zeus being such a cruel thing. Others think he just doesn’t care if they all die, but feels the need to reward parties. As other than the occasional fruit punch or wine bottle at parties their hasn’t been signs of his presence his actions are very much up for interpretation.

There is hardly any worship of him, but very few people do choose to worship him in private.

**His children**

He isn’t the most generous with claiming, but he does recognize his children. He most commonly claims them after they’ve done some time of performance, or have had some hand in making a party as fun as possible. However, he is willing to claim for other things, such as semi-impressive battle feats. He also gives out godly gifts relatively easily, sometimes just making them appear in his kids bedrooms as a birthday present.

Generally when he claims a kid, grape vines rise from the ground and curl around the demigod's legs then disappear.

## Potential Demigod powers

Please refer to the powersets on the lineage page when choosing which powers you want.

### Majors

**Grape-centered Chlorokinesis** (Major/Minor)

* Children of Dionysus can control and manipulate plants. However, this power works best on grapevines. Their control of strawberry plants is also above average. Children of Dionysus can still control plants beside the grapevine but would have much difficulty achieving what they want with the plants. They also do not have the ability where seeds would burst into their ripened form with other plants besides grapes. Universal cooldown of 4 turns.
	+ 1-3: Children of Dionysus can force grape vines, two maximum, to grow from the earth, and slightly manipulate it so that they could wrap around a person’s legs, maybe. However, growing anything more than that would become extremely draining.
	+ 4-6: Children of Dionysus can force grape vines to grow from the earth, four maximum. They can now manipulate it with less strain. They are able to grow other plants as well, just not as well as the grape vines.
	+ 7: Children of Dionysus can force grape vines to grow from the earth, the eight plants maximum. They have total control of the plant and can control it with little strain. Other plants can also grow, but, will take a lot of effort, time, and practice.
	+ 8: Children of Dionysus can now make singular grapes burst into vines. The best effect is when the grape is being held. That way, the vines grow a lot faster compared to, say, when the grape is thrown.

**Intoxicated** (Major/Moderate)

* Children of Dionysus have stronger immune systems than most, destroying most toxins, or in some cases poison. They’re not totally poison resistant, but it has less of an effect on them. They can also slightly smell if the beverage has poisons/toxins.
	+ 1-3: Children of Dionysus can inflict mild symptoms of intoxication on one person. For 2 turns. Only a light headache would occur to the victim, possibly some irritation and irrationality. The victim would feel tired, though not much endurance is taken away. 7-turn cooldown.
	+ 4-6: Children of Dionysus can inflict moderate symptoms of intoxication to two people simultaneously, as well curse fellows to have a hangover for 4 turns max. Symptoms include: Fatigue, nausea, dizziness. This also physically strips away a little of the target’s endurance and overall strength, by x0.25 exactly. A cooldown of 12 turns would follow when the skill is cast.
	+ 7-8: Children of Dionysus can inflict heavy symptoms of intoxication to three people simultaneously, as well curse fellows to have a hangover for 6 turns max. Symptoms include: All the things listed above as well as vomiting, and possibly sickness. The target’s strength and endurance would decrease by x0.5, aka half. A cooldown of 18 turns would follow when the skill is cast.

**Insanity** (Major/Minor)

* Children of Dionysus can inflict insanity onto their targets. However, for causing it, it doesn't last very long (hours) and can be healed by the word of the children of Apollo. However, cursing mortals with insanity is another story, as they're more susceptible to the influence. (Please note, that when using any of harming abilities to other’s characters, ask for permission before doing so!). This can only be used once a day.
* Insanity curses usually revolve around confusion, aggression, being lost, as well as incoherent thoughts and statements. At level 4 and above, targets may have auditory, visual and sensory hallucinations that seem very very real.
	+ 1-3: Causes confusion and aggression amongst 3 people for 3 turns. A fight could break out, but it’s nothing too much of a deal. It’s a nice way to start a bar fight.
	+ 4-6: Causes auditory and sensory hallucinations that are jagged and fuzzy for 5 turns if maintained. This can be easily overridden by strong willpower (save dc8 on a d20). This can cause temporary madness, as hallucinations has.
	+ 7-8: Causes all things above plus visual hallucinations. These can seem very real, and the image is very clear. This can also last for 5 turns if maintained, however, at this level it is very hard to break free from the madness it induces (dc18 on a d20). If that occures, the target would have a really hard time of recognising what is real and what is fake for the next few days or so… They might need some therapy.

### Moderates

**Sugar Rush** (Moderate/Minor)

* Children of Dionysus can use sugar to their advantage (Because sugar is used when brewing drinks like beer). When consumed, (like a piece of candy or something). It can heal the demigod if injured. Or, alternatively, give them a boost of speed, strength and dexterity. However, the downside of this ability is that the user would feel extremely hyper and usually would be less… Stable. When overused, the user can either black out, or be in a state of semi-madness. Symptoms include: Incoherent speech, random bursts of laughter, etc. When this skill is fully used up, which takes about half an hour at most. Sugar has no effect on the user until 12 hours has passed.
	+ 1-3: The child of Dionysus can use a piece of candy or a bit of sugar to heal minor injuries like cuts and bruises. They can also enhance their speed, strength and dexterity by x0.25. Like mentioned before, half an hour for the sugar to wear off.
	+ 4-6: The child of Dionysus can use a piece of candy or a bit of sugar to heal more severe cuts and injuries. Sugar also enhances their speed, strength and dexterity by x0.5. Again, half an hour for the sugar to wear off, and consuming too much would give the user a sugar crash instead.

**Costumes, Sets and Plays** (Moderate/Minor)

* Children of Dionysus can manipulate their surroundings to copy a stage setting. For example, they can manipulate their clothing into costumes, they can also manipulate the lighting in a room to create certain spotlights. At level 4 and above they can raise a stage with working curtains. Finally, they can summon any stage props like cardboard cut out grass, or a plastic goblet. This’ll wear off after a few hours or so. The area must be large enough for the stages to be summoned otherwise nothing would happen.
	+ 1–3: Children of Dionysus can manipulate their own clothing, as well as two other people’s clothing to turn into costumes. They can also manipulate the lighting to their advantage, and can summon small and medium stage props. They can do do this twice a day.
	+ 4-5: Same as above, except now they can summon a stage with curtains, and change the clothing of four other people, as well as their own clothing to change into costumes. They can do this once a day.
	+ Level 6: they can also summon speakers and the said speakers would play any two songs they wish before breaking down and disappearing in a purple fog. Has a 6 turn cooldown

**Copycat** (Moderate)

* Children of Dionysus can copy other people’s voices, expressions and mannerisms extremely well. Almost in an uncanny fashion. When reaching level 4 and above, they can will their appearance, like a ‘costume’ to fully impersonate the said target. Can only impersonate one person at a time, and has a 72 hour (3 day) cooldown.
	+ 1-3: The caster can imitate other’s voices, expressions and mannerism for up to 12 turns maximum. They cannot change their appearances at all.
	+ 4-6: The caster can now change their appearance- and imitate other’s voices, expressions and mannerism for up to 24 turns maximum.

### Minors

**Brewing** (Minor)

* As their father is the greek god of parties, Children of Dionysus are naturally good at making any sort of fun or fancy drink. They can also turn relatively small amounts of water into any party drink.
* Level 1: Can turn up to 1 pint of water into any party drink
* Level 2: 1 quart
* Level 3: 1 gallon

**Minor Curses** (Minor)

* Children of Dionysus can cast very minor curses, like clumsiness, bad luck, or hunger. These don't last very long—an hour at most. They can only cast so many in a day, though, or else they might backfire. Also they cannot cast multiple curses on the same person.
* Level 1: 1 curse per day
* Level 2: 2 curses
* Level 3: 3 curses

**Dramatic Entrance** (Minor)

* This power is a little more than ‘for show’. When a child of Dionysus enters a room, the lights seem to go dim, and they would stand out in a crowd. They would enter with a ‘BAM!’ When there’s not a room or a door, like in the wilderness. They can loudly announce their arrival, that would draw attention to the said demigod. It lures the target(s) into a trance that would keep all eyes on them for at least 30 seconds. When experienced enough, they can divert people’s attention to focus on them for a while, lure them into a trance. Perfect for causing a distraction. Universal cooldown of 6 hours.
	+ Level 1: They can enter a room/place with their loud voices. Drawing the attention of 5 people in a 10-ft radius. The child of Dionysus can hold that attention for at least 2 turns (max 3).
	+ Level 2: They can enter a room/place with glamour, they will literally sparkle, as if doused with glitter. They can now draw monsters’ attention, maximum 7 people/monsters in a 15 ft radius. They still can hold the attention for 3-5 turns.
	+ Level 3: They can enter a room/place, and would be illuminated by a spotlight. Their features would be glowing and be looking great. They can now hold the attention for as long as they like. (7 max and they’ll pass out), as long as they don’t pass out, since the spotlight and glow is quite stamina consuming.

**Odikinesis- Emotions of Theater** (Minor)

* Dionysus has a… Things about theatre. Theatre is about acting and telling a story through emotions. So, Dionysus campers have a limited control of emotions around other people. Universal cooldown of 12 turns.
	+ Level 1: Can influence 3 people’s emotions within a 15-ft radius of the caster for up to 3 turns.
	+ Level 2: Can influence 4 people’s emotions within a 20-ft radius from the caster for up to 4 turns.
	+ Level 3: Can influence 5 people’s emotions within a 25-ft radius from caster for up to 5 turns.

**Ecstasy** (Given)

* People around the children of Dionysus often feel more happy, calm.
