Asclepius

Asclepius is a minor Greek god of healing and medicine and often said to be the patron god of an ancient guild of doctors and physicians. Before he became a god, Asclepius had a knack for reviving people which caused his untimely demise. However, he was resurrected as a god due to the pleas and begging of Apollo.

## Demigod Powers

### Major

*Vitakinesis* (Major/Minor)

* The ability to control and manipulate healing.
* At levels 1-3, they can use it to heal small cuts and bruises and such in around 2 turns. However, it takes a toll on them, often exhausting them.
* At levels 4-6, they can heal bigger wounds like large gashes and close up missing limbs in 4 turns or so. They can not regenerate the lost limbs though.
* At 7-8, they can heal broken bones and such in around 6 turns.
* The 4-6 and 1-3 abilities also get a 1 turn reduction at levels 7-8. The reduction just means that the cooldowns previously stated just get lowered a turn.

*Vitakinesis Transfer* (Major)

* This is a power to transfer health between people. This is limited to nutrition, injuries, and illness. Also this can only ever be done between two people per transfer. Yes you can give your own health away. The transfers you can do between two days is the same number as your level.
* Level 1: only can transfer an access of nutrients. Example: they can take excess vitamin D from a child outside all the time and give it to a camper that doesn’t leave their cabin enough. They have to be actively touching both people to transfer.
* Level 2: same as level one but, now they can take from people who don’t have access but won’t be harmed by the transfer. Also they only need to touch both people within a turn to complete a transfer.
* Level 3: they can now transfer heightened immune system benefits along with their previous abilities. To complete a transfer they need to touch each person in a span of two turns.
* Level 4: they can now weaken anyones immune system to give the extra boost to others. They can transfer this by touching both people within three turns.
* Level 5: when someone has a minor injury they can either completely transfer it to someone else or split the injury between the two people any way. To transfer they can touch or make eye contact with both people within three turns. Using this ability for more than one transfer will cause headaches that will turn into migraines if continued overuse happens.
* Level 6: they can transfer or split moderate injury and light illness between people. To transfer they need to touch or make eye contact with them in four turns. Same limits as before
* Level 7: can transfer or split heavy injury and moderate illness. Same transfer method, and limits as before
* Level 8: can transfer or split deadly injuries and nasty illnesses. Same transfer method as before. The headaches and migraines for overusing this would be extreme.
* Reminder: get permission from the owners being harming people

### Minor

*Toxikinesis* (Minor)

* Children of Asclepius can manipulate toxins and poisons. However, this ability is typically used for making antivenoms or extracting a toxin from a target’s body, not combat. This ability’s use in combat is few and far between.

*Pharmacist* (Minor)

* Children of Asclepius with this power have an understanding of over-the-counter medication that mortal pharmacists can never achieve.

### Given

*Godly Physique* (Given)

* Children with Asclepius, instead of having normal blood, have the beautiful golden blood of the gods flowing through their veins. This does nothing more than replace the blood with a different colored fluid, just like the real Ichor of the Gods.

*Hades’ Curse* (Given)

* These demigods, due to their father’s resurrection problems, can’t venture into the underworld and feel weak in a graveyard. This is so they have no opportunity to revive Hades’ subjects like their father was accused of.

*Medical Knowledge* (Given)

* Children descended from Asclepius have almost doctor level knowledge of medicine and medical techniques. They could with the right tools perform a slightly worse than average surgery on someone if need be.

*Strengthened Immune System* (Given)

* Children of Asclepius very rarely get diseases and are born with stronger than average immune systems. It is very very very rare that a child of Asclepius is born with a medical condition.

*Zoolingualism* (Given)

* Children of Asclepius can communicate with snakes.

*Doctors Without Borders* (Given)

* The user of this power is innately able to understand, speak languages/learn other ways of communication that they do not know when dealing with a medical/health concept. This is due to the fact that healthcare, doctors, and healing are a widely understood concept. Users can find themselves getting their languages mixed up when trying to speak or understand too many at once. They also typically become weaker in any given language when they do not use or practice it often.

*Medical chart* (Given)

* Children of Asclepius can tell a person’s full current medical state just by simply looking at them. It does not allow them to instantly know how to treat them, it is their job to then help them with their own knowledge.

*Acupuncturist Knowledge* (given)

* They can see vital points on the bodies of different creatures.

*The Red Cross* (given)

* Children of Asclepius can give a blood transfusion to anyone, no matter their blood type. This includes the rarest blood type in the world, Rh Null. Their godly powers transform the blood being given to the needed blood type and can even transfer their own blood, but only to other demigods.

*Golden Blood* (given)

* Along with the gods' golden shade of blood, children of Asclepius also have the rarest blood type in the world (Rh Null). This makes blood transfusions extremely difficult, but any other child of Asclepius can transfer blood between each other freely to save their sibling.
