Apollo/Phoebus Cabin (7)

The **Apollo Cabin** (7) is the cabin for the children/legacies of Apollo/Phoebus, Greek/Roman god of the sun, light, healing, music, poetry, archery, prophecy, truth and knowledge.

## Claiming and cabin

**Claiming**: When Apollo/Phoebus claims his children, a golden sun with 21 rays made of arrows appears over the child's head. If they are a legacy, a lyre appears.

**Building**: The cabin itself, on the outside, looks like an ordinary cabin, but when hit by the light at a certain angle, it glows bright gold.

**Furniture**: On the inside, there are hooks for bows, quivers of arrows, lab coats, and musical instruments. There are sunflowers and hyacinths in vases in the windows. Beds line the sides of the cabin and cots with medical tables are in the center. The bathroom is located in the back left corner and a kitchenette (which is technically against camp rules) is in the front left corner. The beds have gingham quilts on them and they all have pictures, little poems, and other assorted things taped to the wall beside them as mementos.

* There is a porch that includes rails, a porch swing, and a chair on the front of the cabin. "Before it was destroyed in The Lost Warrior (my story), they parked their flying chariot on the right side of the cabin outside. This chariot was a prized possession of the Apollo kids and they were very upset when it was broken."

**General Cabin Information:**

* The Apollo Cabin members lead sing-alongs at the campfire. They are also responsible for tending to the wounded and injured.
* Each bunk bed has an outlet and night light plugged in, as most (if not all) children of Apollo are afraid of the dark. These lights tend to be in the shape of a sun.
* Every week, the cabin members have a musical theme for the mornings. For example, one week, they may listen to Broadway music, another may be dedicated to the Beatles, etc. They listen to music on record players, CD players, radios, and phones mad out of celestial bronze in order to avoid attracting monsters.
* Members of the LGBTQIA+ community are more common in the Apollo Cabin than in other cabins.
* Most children of Apollo keep journals that include summaries of their days, poetry, random notes, and more.
* Members of Apollo Cabin tend to be the first ones to wake up in the morning in the summer, but wake up later in the winter.
* Melody is somewhat known as the cook of the Apollo cabin since when a hurt or sick person eats food cooked by her, they are healed instantly.

## Powers and traits

1. Children of Apollo can heal others by singing an ancient Greek song to their father.
2. Children of Apollo have the power of vitakinesis, or the power to control the human healing factor, though, this is a rare power.
3. Children of Apollo can channel diseases into their arrows, causing anyone hit with these arrows to become sick for a time. Those with particularly strong disease abilities can even cause illness without needing to have any kind of physical contact with their victims, but again, this is a very rare power.
4. Some children of Apollo have the power of photokinesis or light manipulation (this is a rare skill). It can be used to generate heat (though not fire). Sometimes this is used in emergencies for cauterization or so that they can see their work. In times of distress, they can use this to kill and blind opponents.
5. Some children of Apollo also have the power of heliokinesis, or the power to absorb, redirect, and manipulate solar energy (rare skill).
6. Children of Apollo, as their dad is the god of poetry and music, can curse people to either speak in rhyming couplets or to constantly sing, for a limited time.
7. Children of Apollo, as their dad is the god of prophecy, are sometimes born with the power of precognition, or the power to see the future, though typically in limited forms.
8. Children of Apollo, as their dad is the god of oracles, can sense when an oracle is about to have a premonition.
9. Children of Apollo, as their dad is the god of the Oracle, have the vague ability to understand what the prophecies mean, although they usually don't talk about it.
10. Children of Apollo, as their dad is the god of music, are natural musicians and singers.
11. Children of Apollo, as their father is the god of poetry, are natural poets. However, they prefer not to do much poetry, because they are embarrassed by their dad's poetry.
12. Children of Apollo are extremely skilled at anything having to do with missile projectiles, such as archery and basketball.
13. Children of Apollo have a knack for medicine.
14. Children of Apollo are really great at science and sometimes his kids can control things related to science like chemicals (rare skill/blessing).
15. Some children of Apollo can light travel. (It's like shadow travel but only with light).
16. Children of Apollo can touch a person and get a sense of what state their body is in (such as identifying organ damage). They can also use this to know the patient's heart rate and blood type.
17. Some children of Apollo can transfer pain between people with physical contact, meaning that they can take the pain away from their patients and take it on instead as long as they are touching them. If a third party is also in contact with the child of Apollo, the pain can be transferred to them, too. This is useful when it is evenly distributed between people, meaning that one person is not in critical pain.
18. Their father being a light god, they can see well in brightness and tend to remain unaffected by powerful lights or the sun.
19. In times of great distress, some can scream loud enough to deafen opponents, though this is difficult to use around allies, as it could hurt them.
20. When joining hands, they can sing songs in Ancient Greek to cause harm. Depending on the song, different things will happen (see: hymns). With more powerful hymns Apollo children often try to get Hecates children to help, thus very much strengthening the hymn.
21. Some of Apollo's offspring have piercing whistles that can stun opponents (such as Will Solace).
22. Sometimes, their moods can affect the health of those around them. If they are upset, people tend to become sick. This is not an intentional or conscious action, it is more like a reflex.
23. They can hear things at frequencies some can't. Dog whistles can be heard by them, for instance.
24. They can sense where the sun is shining, meaning that they know where on the planet it is day at all times.
25. They can sense what certain light waves are, identifying infrared light, blacklight, and others.
26. Though it is rare, some children are born with plague powers. They can inflict illness on others, causing them to die of all kinds of diseases such as malaria, yellow fever, Ebola, scarlet fever, smallpox, severe pneumonia, AIDS, cholera, SARS, influenza, leprosy, polio, and even the bubonic plague.
27. Children of Apollo can use soundwaves as offensive weapons.
28. Children of Apollo have the ability to focus intense beams of light from their eyes which will burn through objects and melt through regular metals
29. Children of Apollo have the ability to create a very large protective dome of bright light and heat around them. No one can enter their dome without feeling intense dehydration, and have the ability to faint. People cannot look into the dome so the user can effectively conceal themselves in plain sight.
30. Children of Apollo are able to foresee potential future attacks, allowing them a short span of time to prepare for these attacks.
31. Children of Apollo can teleport themselves by manipulating light photons. Essentially, it’s them moving at the speed at which light travels, but using the light itself to help them travel and travel through objects that light can pass through. They need to be careful to not attempt to travel anywhere that has something that blocks light, because it will immediately halt their travel.
32. Children of Apollo can create massive waves of heat and radiation that can span a large area around them. This can cause people to get heat stroke, dehydrate quicker, and if close enough to the user, cause hallucinations. The longer this power is used, the less hot it becomes, until the user simply runs out of heat and energy.
