## Powers and Abilities

### Powers

**Olympian Physiology:** Artemis possesses the conventional attributes of an Olympian goddess, including:

* **Superhuman Strength:** Like all Olympians, Artemis is superhumanly strong and is capable of lifting about 30 tons. Artemis is somewhat stronger than the average Olympian female, who can lift about 25 tons.
* **Superhuman Speed:** Artemis is capable of running and moving at speeds much greater than even the finest human athlete.
* **Superhuman Stamina:** Artemis' muscles produce considerably less fatigue toxins during physical activity than the musculature of a human. She is capable of exerting herself at peak capacity for about 24 hours before fatigue begins to impair her.
* **Superhuman Durability:** The skin, muscle, and bone tissues of Artemis' body are about three times as dense as the comparable tissues in a human being. This contributes, somewhat, to her body being more resistant to physical injury than the body of a human. She is capable of withstanding great impact forces, temperature and pressure extremes, and powerful energy blasts without sustaining injury.
* **Regenerative Healing Factor:** Like all Olympians, Artemis is capable of healing herself with superhuman levels of speed and efficiency if injured. She is, however, unable to regenerate missing limbs or organs.
* **Immortality:** Like all Olympians, Artemis is immune to the degenerative effects of aging. She has not aged since reaching adulthood.
	+ **Disease Immunity:** She is immune to all known Earthly diseases.
* **Energy Manipulation:** Artemis is capable of manipulating great amounts of lunar energy for a number of purposes.
	+ **Healing:** She can generate energy from her body in order to heal the injuries of other beings.
	+ **Disease Manipulation:** She can also channel her energies into creating plagues.
	+ **Teleportation:** She is able to teleport herself across great distances and even across dimensional spaces.
* **Shapeshifting:** Artemis is capable of changing her shape, the exact limits of which are unknown. She is capable of altering her appearance to look like other humanoid beings. However, she typically assumes the form of animals out of preference.
* **Omnilingualism:** Due to the Allspeak, Artemis can communicate in all languages, dialects, and various alien languages.

### Abilities
