Aphrodite, but Trojan

Aphrodite is the Greek goddess of beauty, love, desire, passion, sexuality, pleasure, and fertility. Her roman Counter part is Venus. Her emoji is 💌

## Relations with the Trojans

**Everyday Citizens**

Aphrodite constantly breaks Zeus’s order. How does she keep getting away with it? That is a question that only Aphrodite and Zeus know the answer too! What the citizens do know is that no matter how much they hate the gods, so sometimes even speak out against Aphrodite see respond like a disappointed mom. While she deals with minor slander, she will still curse anyone who says anything bad about her beauty or accepts comparison to her.

Their is a small group of citizens who worship Aphrodite in private. In return she’ll sometimes give minor blessings, like fixing their torn clothes, or clearing up their skin. Sometimes for her devout worshippers, if they want a child, but can’t have biological one for whichever of the variety of reasons their is, she will bless them with a kid that is a mix of their dna but has some of her magic.

**Her children**

Aphrodite loves it when one of her kids end up on Troilus. To her it’s refreshing to get to see how her children do in a different setting. She claims them rather easily, sometimes if one of her kids had a particularly difficult journey to the island she’ll claim them upon arrival. Other times she’ll claim them for things like admitting their feelings to a crush, comforting a friend when their feeling down, or looking stunning with the islands limited resources. However, if she sees one of her kids abusing their powers before she claims them, she might not claim them until they’ve proven to grow past that, or ever if they never grow past it. She does save godly gifts for special occasions like them getting in their first romantic relation, or graduating from training and becoming a member of the islands workforce.

When she claims her kids they glow pink for a moment, and get a small makeover.

## Potential demigod powers

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

### Major

**Charmspeak** (Major)

* This is the ability to influence someone, be it a monster, demigod, nymph, satyr, or even god, with their voices. This power, however, is uncommon amongst children of Aphrodite and can only have two spots.
* 1-3: You have a mild influence on people's thoughts and actions. Very tired after 2-3 uses. Another use will cause fainting.
* 4-6: People are more willing to do or say what you want them to do, but it would take extra convincing. Very tired after 4-5 uses. Another use will cause fainting.
* 7-8: It's almost akin to mind control, where your suggestions impact people so much that they need a strong will to keep from obeying you. Very tired after 5-6 uses. Another use will cause fainting.
* If people want to roll (Not required as long as no godmodding is going on):
	+ 1-5 fail
	+ 6-10 they're inclined but not very
	+ 11-15 they're very likely to do what you say, but won't do exactly what you want them to do. Like telling someone to draw the curtains and instead of closing them, they literally draw them
	+ 16-20 they do exactly as they're told unless it's harmful to themselves or someone they deeply care for.

**Amokinesis** (Major/Moderate)

* The ability to control the emotions revolving around love or desire. Particularly skilled children of Aphrodite can make nearly anyone fall in love with anyone or anything. If that person is subjected to a powerful user of amokinesis for long enough, it could drive them mad.

### Minor

**A rose by any other name** (Minor)

* Being the gods of romance and love, there is something deeply iconic about flowers when it comes to romance. This power allows you to have minor control of flowers to give to all the people whose hearts you hope to break, or if strong enough to even hold someone in place while you gather information.
	+ Level 1: You can multiply the amount of flowers nearby, if you have a flower in hand you can turn it into a small bouquet and if there is a bud you can make it start blooming at will, the range for this level is touch and it can be done once an hour
	+ Level 2: You gain the ability to automatically create flowers from seeds, as well as cause them to grow to unnaturally large sizes. Nothing enough to harm anyone, but enough to be impressive. The range increases to about 5 feet but to cause a flower to grow from a seed you must have made contact with it recently. Causing the flowers to grow from seeds can be done once every 15 minutes as can all the other powers granted from this power
	+ Level 3: your flowers now obey your command, you can throw seeds at someone's feet, have them grow into roses and grapple them in place. The plants fade away after this power is done being used however. The range for starting from seeds becomes 5 feet and the overall range for controlling flowers is 10 feet. Flowers can only be controlled in this manner if they were grown by you.

**Unspoken Rizz** (Minor)

* Children of Aphrodite can cause people and monsters around them to become infatuated with them for short periods of time.
	+ Level 1 - Enchanted individuals will flock towards the user and will cease all desire to attack them for the duration. This affects all individuals in a 15 foot radius that roll a 7 or lower, lasts 3 turns, and after the duration is over the affected individuals are confused for 1 turn. This has a cooldown of 5 turns.
	+ Level 2 - Enchanted individuals will flock towards the user and will cease all desire to attack them for the duration. This affects all individuals in a 15 foot radius that roll a 10 or lower, lasts 4 turns, and after the duration is over the affected individuals are confused for 1 turn. This has a cooldown of 6 turns.
	+ Level 3 - Enchanted individuals will flock towards the user and will cease all desire to attack them for the duration. They will also attack anyone who tries to attack the user to the best of their ability. This affects all individuals in a 15 foot radius that roll a 13 or lower, lasts 5 turns, and after the duration is over the affected individuals are confused for 1 turn. This has a cooldown of 7 turns.

**Lovey Dovey** (Minor)

* Children of Aphrodite with this power can create doves out of their raw energy of love that fly out towards their wounded friends and heal them through the power of love. Each dove can heal about one small flesh wound.
	+ Level 1: You can summon one dove, and it can heal as much as a gash.
	+ Level 2: You can summon two doves, and each can heal a gash, or they can combine to heal a deeper flesh cut.
	+ Level 3: You can summon up to three doves, and each can heal a gash, or they can combine all three to regenerate a small amount of flesh.
	+ Level 4/Minor degree: You can summon up to three doves or one pink energy eagle who can tear apart your enemies. It’s got about the same strength as a real eagle, but it can take a bullet or two of damage because of it’s being made of Aphrodite energy.

### Given

**Beauty is in the Eye of the Beholder** (Given)

* Since Aphrodite was the goddess of beauty, her kids tend to be able to automatically view something beautiful about other people, though only on a superficial level. Be it their sense of style, personality or talents. They feel compelled to tell the other what they see, but only in times of insecurity (Goes hand in hand with "Why is a pretty face so sad?")

**Why is a Pretty Face So Sad?** (Given)

* Children of Aphrodite tend to be able to intuitively sense when someone feels specifically insecure in the moment, after all looks are hard to keep up! It feels like a sudden chest pain that lasts a second. If they're compassionate, great! If not, warning teasing may emerge!
