Apollo, but Trojan

Apollo is the Greek god of the sun, light, healing, disease, plague, music, art, poetry, archery, reason, knowledge, truth, and prophecy. He is the twin brother of the goddess Artemis, and they are together known as the 'twin archers'. His Emoji is 🏹

## Relations with the Trojans

**Everyday citizens**

There was a time where Apollo loved the attention (even if minor) that he got from the left over Trojans, and he tried to help them in every way possible, and was even known to visit the place. However for a decade he didn’t answer any prayers, even those for simple things like warm sunlight. Then afterwards his presence on the island was very sparse. There is speculation that Zeus did something to him to cause this sudden sift in behavior, but their is no way for the Trojans to know if this is true or not.

Some people keep faith and worship Apollo in private. They hardly ever receive blessings.

**His children**

Apollo loves to claim his kids for anything that makes him happy. This can be a wide variety of things, like writing some decent poetry, singing a cute song, helping patch up a friend, or using their powers for the good of the town. He also tries to sneak them godly gifts, they don’t get these too easily, having to have some something at least a little bit impressive to receive one (like skillfully treating a nasty wound). Then the gift will often just appear in their house at sunset that night. He likes to place it on their pillow if he can.

Generally when demigods of Apollo are claimed a small ball of light appears in the demigod's hands, then the light gets pierced by an arrow and explodes golden light.

## Potential demigod powers

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

### Major

**Photokinesis** (Major/Moderate/Minor)

* They can bend light. The bending of light can warp what others are seeing, similarly to the mist. They can make objects "disappear" or create them.
* Children of Apollo can also create orbs or beams of light which can cause sunburns on their opponents or momentarily blind them.
* Children of Apollo are immune to damage caused by the sun and low heat from fire. They don't have as much heat resistance as Children of Hephaestus or Poseidon.
* 1-2: Can create small beams of light (backpack sized) and baseball sized orbs, and make small objects disappear. Can momentarily blind opponents.
* 3: Children of Apollo can change light’s properties into lasers that wouldn’t do anything but just for show. They can direct the laser beams into the monster’s eyes, and it is not advised to be used on campers. Has a 3-turn cooldown
* 4-5: Can create large beams of light (bicycle sized) and basketball sized orbs. They can make objects disappear and create false ones that you can’t actually touch up to as big as a medium sized dog.
* 6: Children of Apollo can change the light’s properties to create thin lasers that would do a little cutting damage, they wouldn’t actually vaporise anything, but they would generate a lot of heat and can burn someone.  Has a 5-turn cooldown
* 7: Can create very large beams of light (car sized) and yoga ball sized orbs. They can make objects disappear and create false ones you can’t touch up to as big as a door.
* 8: Children of Apollo can now change light’s properties to generate so much heat, that it could vaporise a small monster. Like laser-cutting technology, they would basically melt the monster into nothing. Has an 8-turn cooldown. Not intended to be used on demigods.

**Mini Prophecies** (minor)

* This power allows children of Apollo to create minor prophecies that will either vaguely predict the future or accurately predict small events that are about to happen. As long as they haven’t created a prediction that hasn’t happened yet they can use this power anytime. They will know when a prophecy is completed and who completed it.
* Level 1: Whenever the child wishes for a small glimpse into the future they will see a flock of crows. Using the following poem they can predict an upcoming event: One for sorrow, two for joy, three for a girl, four for a boy, five for silver, six for gold, seven for a secret never to be told, eight for a wish, nine for a kiss, and tenmeans a time of joyful bliss. Their predictions will always be at least vaguely accurate.
* Level 2: when someone shows them their palm the child of Apollo can ‘palm read’. This allows them to get vague ideas of a specific person's future. They’ll either be able to tell the general mood someone will be in or know what type of big event the person will soon face.
* Level 3: they can answer any yes or no questions about the future with one hundred percent accuracy by flipping a coin. Before they can do this they must flip a coin to see if the coin is willing to tell the future. Heads is always yes, tails is always no. This power doesn’t count as a prophecy, so they can attempt to use it thrice per day even if they have an active prophecy from another ability.
* Minor degree level: using any crystal that is large enough and reflexive enough they can see a small vision of the future. This future vision can be anything from an upcoming quest, or a tree falling in the woods.
