Demigod Powers: "Hades (Pluto)" - Demigod Powers and the Mist

This is the last "Big Three" Olympian god we're going to talk about. Hades is strong and yes, he is scary. Sometimes his children are brutal (sometimes? pshh, mostly.) like those who led the losing side of World War II and sometimes his children are very warm, surprisingly, like the dead Hunter, Bianca di Angelo. I personally think he's just all sour and stuff because he got the worst of the 3- the sky, the ocean, and the Underworld. I mean, who wants to be banished from Olympus except for one gloomy day and be in charge of dead, useless souls? At least Poseidon rules the ocean and lively mermaids, and has somewhat control over the land (earthquakes). Zeus is just basically grumpy for no reason, causing hurricanes. Anyway, I'll be explaining the powers a child of Hades could have. 

Shadow-Traveling: Children of Hades have their own means of transportation. It's almost like teleportation, it just takes a bit longer. You just race into a shadow, and you go through different states of "worlds", such as a quick flash through the Underworld, and for a while through the World of Sleep, the realm of Hypnos. The other worlds are unlisted and unknown. Then they're spit out on wherever they wanted to go. Creatures of the Underworld have this power as well, so if you were too exhausted and you had a pet hellhound, you can shadow-travel with them. But be careful, if you fall off in the Realm of Hypnos, you will get stuck there forever to drool and suck your fingers sleeping. This is a Tier 1 power.

Questioning the Dead: Children of Hades can dig holes, and pour in a drink and a food, and summon spirits. They can fend off spirits until they come across one they want to question. From there, the spirit can take a drink and eat the "alive" food, and they will be able to question the spirit. The spirit cannot lie. This is a Tier 5 power.

Summoning Skeletons: Children of Hades can summon skeleton guards to help them in battle. Also, they are able to summon other skeleton animals, such as skeletal horses. This is a Tier 3 power.

Summoning Spirits: Children of Hades can summon spirits and have them help them. Not many facts are known about this type of necromancy, but I would judge it to be Tier 4. 

Killing the Unkillable (Dead): Children of Hades can kill the dead. Skeletons formed from teeth cannot be killed by regular mortals or demigods. This is where Hades children step in. If they're desperate, they can alter the aura of the dead, and make them return to their original state, a.k.a. kill the dead. Tier 2.

Waves of Cold [UNCONFIRMED]: Some claim that they can create a Cold Wave, or a literal magical ripple that causes you to feel frightened, cold, etc., giving the same effects as the crown of Hades. This is not confirmed, but I have a sense it would work like a Panic satyrs and the ceased god Pan can create. 

Mummimia! [UNCONFIRMED]: MUMMIMIA! Some claim to be able to summon mummies in Egypt. But no one knows about that place, its suspicious. Weird magic circling that place, it makes me feels really bad inside. Again, unconfirmed, but this would be Tier 3. 

Well, this is it for Hades! I'll be doing Demeter next! See you soon!
