𝒂𝒍𝒆𝒔𝒔𝒂𝒏𝒅𝒓𝒐  𝒄𝒂𝒔𝒕𝒆𝒍𝒍𝒂𝒏𝒊  ;   𝐩𝐨𝐰𝐞𝐫𝐬  .

the  primary  powers  alessio  has  from  his  godly  grandparents  are  death  inducement  (  thanatos  )  and  odikinesis  (  ares  )  .

the  first  time  his  abilities  show  up,  he's  nine  .  the  first  one  that  pops  out  is  odikinesis  .  as  a  child,  his  emotions  are  unstable  and  he  runs  on  pure  instinct  and  drive  .  the  memory  is  sealed  into  his  brain  .  hateful  and  angry  at  his  mother  for  not  buying  him  a  toy  he  wanted,  he  runs  to  his  father  to  ask  for  it,  but  his  emotions  translate  over  the  room  and  a  fight  starts  abruptly,  ending  when  weapons  were  drawn  out  and  alessio  was  out  the  room  .  this  occurred  every  time  alessio  was  upset  and  around  them  .

death  inducement  shows  up  next,  a  little  time  later,  still  at  the  age  of  nine  .  it  was  the  same  thing,  something  along  the  lines  of  alessio  being  in  a  room  with  his  father  .  standing  next  to  him  like  a  guard  dog,  the  boy  locks  eyes  with  an  enemy  of  the  castellani  family  .  he  stares,  gazing  into  their  soul,  until  they  fall  over  .  completely  dead  .  it  was  not  painful  (  as  he  specifically  inherited  peaceful  death  inducement  from  his  father  and  his  father  from  thanatos  )  nor  cruel,  but  it  was  shock  worthy  and  an  act  of  god  in  the  eyes  of  everyone  in  the  room  .  the  rest  of  age  nine  consists  of  his  family  poking  and  probing  in  figuring  out  what  triggers  it,  and  by  age  ten  he  starts  his  training  .

because  he  has  been  using  his  abilities  for  so  long,  alessio  knows  it  like  the  back  of  his  hand  .  knows  what  environments  and  situations  trigger  what,  knows  how  far  it  can  all  really  go  .  he  excels  in  stability  and  lacks  in  control  .  his  abilities  were  used  wrongfully  the  entire  time,  so  as  much  as  alessio  is  this  golden  child  in  honing  his  abilities,  he  perfected  them  through  the  lens  of  being  a  weapon  .  since  his  arrival  at  nemean  lion,  he  has  to  start  from  scratch  in  order  to  learn  his  abilities  through  the  lens  of  helping  others  .  needless  to  say,  he  doesn't  know  how  to  really  .  .  .  deal  with  that  so  he  actually  hasn't  used  any  of  his  abilities  upon  his  arrival  to  nemean  lion  (  january  2021  )  .  

his  abilities  in  fighting  (  with  weapons  or  hand-to-hand  combat  )  have  been  bordering  on  near  advance  in  such  little  time,  though  granted  he  was  taught  all  of  that  back  at  home,  too  .  alessio  is  a  little  nervous  (  though  he  would  never  admit  that  to  anyone.  not  even  over  his  dead  body  )  to  practice  again  because  he's  always  used  it  for  bad  purposes,  so  he  thinks  it's  just  hardwired  in  his  brain  to  do  and  to  cause  bad  .  obviously,  that's  not  true,  but  that's  why  he  hasn't  used  it  yet  .  instead,  he's  just  working  on  other  things  as  a  way  to  preoccupy  time  until  he  has  to  use  them  again,  and  he's  not  sure  if  he's  ready  for  that  yet  .

powers:  nullification & calming touch

nullification

the ability to nullify, or completely stop, any powers in a specified area, centered on him

while he really only stumbled on this power by accident when bumped into a stranger at a social event and cancelled their powers without realizing, causing the demigod in question to lash out — jae has had a tight leash on his power ever since.

he’s since gotten very good at controlling it and his resting state when he’s out and about leaves him with a tight radius of nullification just around his body. basically, it would only affect anyone touching him. if he’s actively pulling on his power, he can expand the radius out to fill up, on a normal day, about a 10x10 room. with a lot of energy and concentration, he could maybe cover 50 feet but it would really take a lot out of him. similarly, he could use that energy to try and shape the area of effect, but he has less success with that.

he has no way to use his power while he’s asleep, and every time he wakes he has to pull on it again if he wants to make sure it’s there. he can’t expand past his body for extended periods of time without stressing his body out, and right now, he tries to reserve that for work. excess stress will give him intense headaches and eventually force him to completely lose his ability to use his power until he takes a proper rest. considering how attached he is to using it, he tries to not let it get that bad, and completely locks himself in if he has to rest until it returns. as for the stress, he’s found a few ways to relieve that for now :)

calming touch

the ability to pass along a sense of calm through physical touch

jae’s not really sure when he became aware of this power. in a way, it’s very new to him, and in another way, it’s always been there. he’s always had a knack for walking into a one-on-one meeting and immediately making people feel at ease.

as it is, he has much less experience controlling this power, and so it’s a lot harder to use. he really only uses it at nemean to keep people off his back, or to piss off peter. he can’t just have it on constant standby like his nullification because it requires his full focus, and even more so if he ever tried to use both at the same time. it would quickly exhaust him.

it’s definitely not something he uses often, but he’s also not above putting up with the strain it puts on him physically to use it for a little bit just to be an asshole.

power: oath keeping limitations: not only is keeping oaths physically draining, it’s also mentally exhaustive. hari doesn’t practice her powers very much, either, so she hasn’t made much progress since coming to nemean lion. she can currently only keep one or two oaths per month and rarely does she do even that. when an oath is broken, the oath breaker is punished, which hari is forced to watch through visions.

how did they discover their powers and limitation?

it took a while for hari to fully realize the extent of her powers. it’s natural for kids to make silly promises, forgetting about them by the next day, and she had no idea that when she was pinky promising at age eleven she was unintentionally creating and keeping an oath. thankfully the punishments for these were minimal; someone falling off their bike and scraping a knee, getting a poor grade on a homework assignment, things that made no real difference in their lives. she didn’t figure it out until she learned the truth about her mother and did some research, then all the strange events of her life started adding up. because frankly i’m not sure how she would just figure that out on her own AJSKDHS

how do they handle it ?

hari’s primary method is avoidance. she uses her power very, very rarely, and almost always for small things. sometimes she creates oaths accidentally, by wanting something too much, which doesn’t require as much energy but she still gets nervous even over the tiniest of promises. despite her hesitance to use her power, she does want to ultimately master it, which is a hard balance to strike.

how do they recharge ?

she probably just...lies in the dark and does nothing, to be honest. maybe she drinks some tea and has some snacks! i think when she really uses her power, it can induce cold-like symptoms.

are there any life hacks they found to help the restriction last shorter ?

not using her power xx

how advanced do they think they are with their abilities ?

probably like a 3/10. she’s seen how effective her powers can be, but to her that’s not a good thing, so she refrains from using them if she can help it. it’s hard to qualify because she CAN use them if she wants, her oath keeping works, but she doesn’t exactly work on her powers as much as she should.

what’s their relationship with their power(s) and limitation(s) ?

she doesn’t resent being a demigod, but she would rather not have oath keeping as an ability. in a way, she’s glad it requires so much effort to use her power because then it’s harder to do it unintentionally because she really has to focus and mean it.

[ OTTO FARRANT, HE/HIS, CIS MAN ] — [ TRISTAN DAY ] is a child of [ NIKE ] with the power of [ ENHANCED SKILLS & LIMITED INVINCIBILITY ] . they were born in [ 1997 ] and have been in nemean lion since [ 2012 ] . with the change, they [ HAVE GRADUATED FROM ] the [ HERO ] role which makes sense since they’re usually [ PRACTICING HIS SERVE OR RUNNNG LAPS & GOING ON MISSIONS ] . — maeve / she&her / cst / 18+

meet tristan day, 

about:

born to the goddess nike and a young, promising professional golfer named tobias day. the couple never planned on having a child, let alone two. and what many would see as a blessing, quickly became a burden to toby. a selfish man, he chose his career over his children. 

because of this tristan and his sibling were primarily raised by a nanny, which quickly became a series of nannies as they grew older and constantly found themselves in more and more trouble. 

to say tristan was a troubled child, would be somewhat of an understatement. he got into more than his fair share of trouble, but he was actually quite bright. he was simply acting up to gain his father’s attention, and when that didn’t work he turned to upstaging the older man in athletics.

the one thing his father had bothered to teach him was the sport of golf, and despite harboring an immense hatred toward the sport, a young tristan entered in and won his fair share of competitions. and when his father finally recognized his accomplishments, there was a brief period of happiness. this quickly fell apart, however, as a result of some dispute over a pairs tournament.

after that tristan swore off golf, instead turning his focus towards tennis and soccer. he would come to excel at both sports, thanks in part to his powers, but also natural athleticism. 

and while he could have gone on to be a professional in either sport, something that he had always dreamed about. tristan decided to instead that he would instead join nemean lion at the age of 14. setting aside his dreams of being an athlete, for dreams of becoming a hero.

of course he had to stay on the general tract for the first four years, but most people knew he’d become a hero. and once he turned eighteen, he joined the hero path and excelled. 

he’s unemployed besides being a hero, but he does play in the occasional tennis tournament. but admittedly, he does often feel like something is missing from his life. though, what that is, he isn’t sure. 

fun facts:

tristan is very into trying new things- especially when it comes to athletics. after all he’s a child of nike, competition is in his blood. he especially enjoys when someone teaches him something and he goes on to best them, though he’s learned not to boast too much. 

he only wears nike athletic clothing, though he isn’t sure whether or not his mother has anything to do with the company. he does feel like it’s a nice way to honor her, plus it’s some quality stuff. 

he sticks to a very heathy diet, after all he is an athlete. he counts his calories, he watches what goes into his body. he starts every day with a vile green smoothie. his favorite snack are apples, it’s not uncommon to see him snacking on one and discarding the core on the ground. after all, they are biodegradable. 

he has a very strange sense of morals, in that you’d be very surprised to see what he finds right versus what he finds wrong. he sees no need to hold the door open for someone, but he would stop to help someone pick up something they dropped. 

he’s got a fairly good amount of money saved up, thanks in part to his father. but he doesn’t make a habit of spending it, despite trying to give off the appearance of wealth. it’s contradictory, he knows it, he hates it.

limitations: 

ENHANCED SKILLS:

tristan discovered this skill through showing off. he doesn’t even remember the details, upon first discovering the ability, he was quick to try as many skills as he could think of. but he quickly found that less he knew about the subject, or the more daring the skill- the harder it was for him to perform. he still uses this ability when it comes to training and battles, but otherwise he views it as a party trick more than anything. 

LIMITED INVINCIBILITY:

tristan discovered this ability by accident during a training session gone horribly wrong. the details are blurry, in part due to his adrenaline, but he just remembered being backed off the edge of a steep cliff, and the next second he was laying on the ground, completely fine. well, alive, he was rather drained. it seemed he had willed himself to stay alive. he still struggles with the understanding and control of this power, never quite sure of when it will take affect. but he does make a habit of consuming healthy, natural foods in order to stay in a peak physical condition, which seems to limit how much the invincibility drains him. 

pinterest board: coming soon

playlist: all i do is win - dj khaled, stronger - kanye west, seven nationa army - the white stripes, back in black - ac/dc, don’t stop me now - queen (just your typical hype playlist)

wanted connections: 

his biological sibling. i’m thinking they are either a year or two older than tristan or his twin. i will likely put a wanted connection up for this but if you’re interested please shoot me a dm! i have a lot of ideas for their relationship.

best friend #1 - this is more along the lines of your typical male best friends, though they don’t need to be male. they’re just a pair of shitheads for lack of better words. they encourage each other to do dumb things. i don’t know what else to say. open to any gender, 20-25 age range.

best friend #2 - this person is really more of a best friend to tristan, though i do imagine neither of them would admit that. they’re who he’s closest to in the world and he’d gladly die for them. open to any gender, i do ask that they’re within a 20-25 age range. 

squad. just a group of jocks that hang out, honestly that’s it. i don’t know if they’re incredibly close but i do like the idea of there being some sort of honor code/understanding that they stick up for each other. no age or gender requirements.

an unlikely friend. polar opposites become friends, it’s that simple. i just think it’d be neat. maybe they show him what he’s missing in life? idk no age or gender requirements.

exes. he’s had his fair share of relationships, none of which have last. why it didn’t last is something i’m very open to working on because i feel like there could be a variety of reasons. no gender restrictions, 20-25 age range, maybe 4-5 spots ??

flings. past or present. honestly there are no restrictions for this, he’s a bit of a hoe, who also just prefers physical relationships. 

his foil? i’m not sure it’s the correct term but essentially just that one person he’d risk it all for. i am again attached to the idea of them being a somewhat unlikely pairing? and tristan being very unwilling to admit his feelings for them. no gender restrictions, age range of maybe 20-27?

athletic rivals. self explanatory, really no limits or restrictions.

enemies. listen, he has to have them. he’s arrogant, he’s a jerk. lets have some fun. someone put him in his place. 

maternal half-siblings. gimme.

nltask001 // **limitations

name: taylor “tay” jeung child of: thanatos power: death sense and inducement

tay discovered her powers in the orphanage where she spent the first five years of her life. to this day, she’s not sure how one of the workers, one of the particularly cruel ones, knew who and what she was when tay didn’t. this is something she remains curious about, but has not put much research into. as her mun, i of course know that her mother shared the information on her deathbed with her midwife, the same woman, expecting tay to be loved and taken care of with this information, not mentally and emotionally abused.

she can sense any impending death, and the type of death it will be depends on when she can sense it. the more sudden the death will be, the more powerful her sense is. she can pass a random stranger on the street and immediately feel that they will die in a car accident on the way home. this part of her power does not require physical touch, which can make it a bit confusing in crowds. she’ll get a sense of someone’s death but have no idea which person in the crowd it is.

she does not see visions of these deaths naturally; instead it’s like the knowledge simply appears in her brain. physical touch to the person and willing herself to see what will happen herself can allow her to see visions, but this is exhausting to her and she will usually have to spend the rest of the day napping.

another limitation is that she can feel the emotional burden that she is taking away from people when she induces their death. 

to induce, tay needs physical touch, just like she does to see visions of the death she is essentially preventing by allowing the person to choose when they will die. it can be any sort, and it could be accidental if she’s not careful, but tay is always careful and the touch must also be prolonged, so she can’t just accidentally bump into someone and kill them.

it takes a great deal of effort to will death into a person. it’s essentially a trade of energy. she pushes death onto the person. to the person, it feels warm and gentle. there is no suffering when someone dies by tay’s hand. 

the trade is that tay is absorbing the days, months, or year (which is the maximum amount of time she can sense a death from) that she is taking away by choosing their death day. this is exhausting for her. she does not feel the physical pain of the person, but it is a great toll on her emotionally and mentally. the day after inducing a death, tay can be found in bed, napping, or sometimes even crying. she keeps a journal to write through her feelings, and while she’s inconsistent about it, she does attend therapy to talk through her feelings.

tay thinks she has a good handle on her abilities for what she uses them for. there is a part of her that knows it could be used for evil. she could find out someone’s enemy will pass away in a year from a car accident and end their life for someone else’s gain before that time. she has no interest in anything like this.

tay also wonders if a year is her true limit on sensing a death, or if she can push herself into knowing exactly when everyone will die. she doesn’t really want to try though, feeling like that is too much of a burden.

her relationship with this power is so complicated. she does feel, some days, that what she’s doing is benevolent, but on the other hand, she knows firsthand that she took exactly seven months, one week, and two days away from her brother’s life to end his suffering. though she knows that’s what he wanted, tay still feels like she robbed him of so much life, robbed her parents of more time with their son, their only child by blood.

this is so rambly if it doesn’t make sense i am begging someone to be honest w me thank you.

LIMITATIONS - TASK001

PAX JOHNSON

how did they discover their powers and limitation?

magical events have happened while he was a baby, but his first memory of discovering his powers was when he was 5 and overflowed the bath. babie pax had too much fun making the bubbles into different animal shapes and playing with them and the bubbles just kept increasing because he didn’t know how to stop.

his limitations are many because he still doesn’t have great mastery over his magic. lack of focus or nerves could easily mess up whatever he’s trying to do. he also will get tired if he hasn’t had enough to eat that day. for his replication magic, he can only replicate one power at a time, he can’t replicate two simultaneously. once he tries to use another power, he lets go of his hold on the prior one. he learned this because in an effort to big brain his lack of mastery over his magic, he once tried to replicate a combination of powers that might be able to help him gain a shortcut, but that failed.

how do they handle it ?

he makes it a point to spend time every day honing his abilities so he can gain better mastery of it. as for the limitation on the number of powers he can replicate, he figured he couldn’t be too greedy, and also he thinks if he improved his own magic, he wouldn’t have to rely too much on the replications

how do they recharge ?

he eats a LOT. It’s his fuel not just for regular activities but also for magic

are there any life hacks they found to help the restriction last shorter ?

when he runs out of energy for magic, he looks for food immediately. he also keeps little snacks around for emergencies. watch him eat a granola bar in the middle of a battle.

how advanced do they think they are with their abilities?

not very. replication magic is his best skill, the others need improvement, and he has absolutely never tried darker magic like necromancy

what’s their relationship with their power(s) and limitation(s)

he’s mostly okay with them, though he can lack confidence with his powers at times because he thinks everyone’s skill level is higher. he seeks to improve himself every day. his limitation being an excuse to eat is a sweet deal though

DAHLIA SHIN

how did they discover their powers and limitation?

there were always weird incidents when she was younger whenever she’d get angry, but she never properly learned about her powers until she was 12 and paralyzed another kid during a fight. at 18, she discovered the poison absorption aspect of her poison manipulation when she had lashed out at someone and they nearly died from it - but when she was freaking out and regretting it, holding the person and wishing she could take back what she did, it somehow happened. as for limitations (which she has learned through countless trainings), her poison generation and absorption only work with physical contact - the slightest would do, as long as physical contact is established, but she cannot just will it from afar. her poison absorption also has a threshold, which could easily be seen as all her hair turns white when it’s reached, and a cooldown time of 2 hours minimum until her hair’s back to normal and she’s good to go again (almost like digesting time tbh hdjdhd)

how do they handle it ?

her best tactic if she wants to use her powers in any way would be to get close, and for the limitation on her poison absorption, she tries to be smart about when she uses it

how do they recharge ?

though she possesses poison immunity, poison absorption does still make her very tired, so if possible, she tries not to use any of her powers during the 2-hour cooldown if possible, as any usage of her poison manipulation may extend the cooldown/recharge time

are there any life hacks they found to help the restriction last shorter ?

no, she just has to wait it out

how advanced do they think they are with their abilities?

she feels she has a pretty good mastery of her abilities. they only ever spin a little out of control due to emotion but she’s kind of in denial/defensive about that.

what’s their relationship with their power(s) and limitation(s)

she struggles a bit with the idea that her powers do more harm than good ever since the idea was planted in her head, but she’s also figured that her powers are what they are and she just has to work with it. she is still actively trying to find a way to extend her poison absorption threshold though

ELLIOT SEO

how did they discover their powers and limitation?

he possesses metal manipulation and enhanced crafting

limitations: metal manipulation - needs existing metal in the area to manipulate. can’t make metal out of thin air. needs more focus and energy on larger objects, if he does too much, he’ll be popping blood vessels. boi can move a train if he really wanted to but won’t be able to without having a nosebleed or something; enhanced crafting - if he has no knowledge about what he’s crafting, there really won’t be much enhancement. the more knowledge he has about it, however, then the more efficient he is at crafting it and quality is *chefs kiss*

elliot played around with his metal manipulation as a kid, it always seemed to be there, but he only properly realized it was a ‘power’ when a nl agent witnessed him using it and thus began his journey to nl. he discovered his limitations with it through his nl education and through many many nosebleeds. as for enhanced crafting, he discovered this as well as its limitations rather naturally, having observed it while he made his creations

how do they handle it ? are there any life hacks they found to help the restriction last shorter ?

he big brains everything. reads a lot. if he ever has to fight, his powers come later since he has all his tech + his super suit alkdjfls. doesn’t manipulate larger objects too much unless necessary. also works out because it seems the more physically fit he is, the more he can handle.

how do they recharge ?

rest. a nice cold drink. he just has to stop using his powers for a bit and he’ll be back to normal

how advanced do they think they are with their abilities?

very. he thinks he’s the best in the tech role @ nl and also the smartest guy in any room rip aljkdsklf

what’s their relationship with their power(s) and limitation(s)

he thinks they’re pretty nifty and he doesn’t really have issues with his limitations since they make sense to him.

JAN IM

how did they discover their powers and limitation?

ice manipulation - can control, move, shape ice

limitations: weak in dry areas, can only manipulate from existing moisture that he can freeze or existing ice structures. too much exertion will tire him out.

how’d he discover his powers? he really liked popsicles as a kid. his limitations he learned through nl training

how do they handle it ? are there any life hacks they found to help the restriction last shorter ? how do they recharge?

he’s fine with the limitations. he finds he can do most of what he needs to anyway. he doesn’t need to manifest a snowy mountain anything. if he does need to recharge though, a nice ice bath in addition to regular rest seems to speed it up.

how advanced do they think they are with their abilities?

pretty advanced, but he’s open to discovering new levels of it

what’s their relationship with their power(s) and limitation(s)

he has absolutely no problem with them whatsoever.

nltask001 // **limitations // taylor jeung

name: taylor “tay” jeung child of: apollo power: health bubble

tay discovered her powers in the orphanage where she spent her early years. it was unintentional, willing health and protection to an injured cat she found in the backyard, and she was caught by one of the staff members, and from that day forward she was called a monster by the staff.

when she was adopted at age five, her family encouraged her to explore the powers she told them about, so she experimented, expanding her health bubble for things like common colds, and over the years, increasing herself to things like broken bones. 

tay has to have the person reach a state of being completely healed before she breaks her concentration, or they will revert back to injured/ill.

this takes a lot of tay’s energy, obviously, and after healing someone completely, she’s totally exhausted and needs time to recover.

tay discovered the limitation of the person needing to be completely healed when she realized she couldn’t cure her brother’s cancer, because cancer needs constant attention, and she just couldn’t do it. 

tay’s reach also only extends to 7 feet outside of her, so she needs to be close to someone to heal them.

the exhaustion she feels is a bit like running a marathon?? like she’s winded, her muscles feel sore, she just overall feels drained.

tay does feel a bit like she’s mastered her power simply because she knows she can’t do things like cure the incurable, not when it requires her constant attention, and she simply can’t do that.

she SHOULD recharge by getting enough sleep, she simply does not.

i’ll add more if i think of it but this sums it up really!!

𝒍𝒊𝒎𝒊𝒕𝒂𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏 :  using her magic too much is extremely tiring and can cause her to collapse if she overworks herself

miri’s powers manifested at a very young age and it terrified her human parents .  so , they did what any other rational person would :  they sent her away to a school who could handle her better .  with the sacrifice of her relationship between her parents , she was able to learn a lot about her magic and the godly side of herself .

the first time she reach the peak of her limitation , she was terrified as it seemed like her world was fading away in slow motion .  it didn’t help that she was only nine at the time .  

now , she knows better and can tell the signs of when she’s pushing her luck .  specifically , the lower back of her head will start hurting .

the only thing she’s found to help is sleeping which is , essentially , just ignoring the pain until it goes away .

𝑪𝑯𝑨𝑹𝑳𝑨  ⸺   ᴍᴀɢɪᴄ & ᴇɴʜᴀɴᴄᴇᴅ ʜᴇᴀʟɪɴɢ

( mentions of blood & medical talk )  𝒍𝒊𝒎𝒊𝒕𝒂𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏 :   using her magic too much is extremely tiring and can cause her to break the veins of her eyes or cause nose bleeds if she overworks herself & she cannot heal mortal wounds , those can only be healed with magic or those with actual healing abilities 

charla’s ability of healing has always been prevalent from the day she was born and her magic began appearing when she was around seven or eight .  she was lucky to have her father to teach her the basics of her circe ability until she went to nl . 

she’s never gone too far with using her magic , though it’s hard to really tell since her healing ability would get rid of the side effect of her magic .  the only time anyone’s seen her eyes bloodshot would be right after fighting a powerful monster .

charla very much pushes her luck because she knows her healing will always be there for her .  little does she know , if she continues to do so for consecutive days it’ll cause severe damage but luckily she often uses her combat skills over her magic .

𝑫𝑰𝑨  ⸺   ꜱᴏᴜʟ ᴍᴀɴɪᴘᴜʟᴀᴛɪᴏɴ & ᴍᴀɢɪᴄ

𝒍𝒊𝒎𝒊𝒕𝒂𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏 :   in order for her to use her power she must have a physical piece of her target with her as well & using her magic too much is extremely tiring and can cause her to collapse if she overworks herself

as long as she could remember , dia had always had some form of soul manipulation .  specifically being able to see other’s true feelings towards her and it really messed her up as a child as she grew fearful of witnessing people begin to dislike her and their meter going down .  however , it wasn’t until she was in middle school when her powers developed more and she was able to manipulate their souls as well .

it took a lot of trial and error for her to learn what exactly she needed in order to use her soul manipulation to her full potential but with some of her magic she was able to figure it out .  the only times she actually get tired from using her powers is when she turns off a powerful emotion or an emotion the person she’s effecting is used a lot , or if she has to use particles in the air to use her powers against someone .  however , the only time she’s done the latter was when she was on a mission taking down a powerful figure of the entertainment industry .

she’s always been touchy , and it definitely helps that she’s confidently attractive so it isn’t hard for others to fall for her charms and she’s able to easily grab a strand of their hair with the comb of her fingers .

the control she had over her soul manipulation used to be adequate but due to what happened with her past  ( turning off her own love )  she became very skilled in her powers as she constantly pushed herself to make sure that her power would constantly be in effect so she wouldn’t feel the emotion ever again .  as for magic , she’s only good at basics , teleportation and enhancing her soul manipulation .  outside of that , she hardly uses it .

he didn’t know about his powers until he arrived to nl .  the only times he actually used his pyrokinesis before knowing about it was during the winter when he would subconsciously keep himself warm . 

he only learned his limitations , again , when he was at nl since his siblings were able to warn him about the common ones that came with his powers .  it made sense to him as well so he wasn’t disappointed about them or anything .

most of his time is spent learning everything he can about the things he wanted to create which was a huge factor as to why he didn’t enjoy the tech role as he didn’t have much interest in forging .  it wasn’t until he tried recreating a chocolate sculpting video when he realized his powers were working for this and he became hooked .  his pyrokinesis also helps a lot with this as he’s able to heat up the sweets easily and to whatever temperature he’d like .

𝒎𝒂𝒈𝒅𝒂𝒍𝒆𝒏𝒂  𝒎𝒂𝒆𝒔𝒂𝒓𝒐𝒉  ;   𝐩𝐨𝐰𝐞𝐫𝐬 .

the  primary  power  maggy  has  from  her  mother  is  hydrokinesis  .

because  her  mother  is  a  river  goddess,  her  powers  can  only  function  over  freshwater  only  .

 her  abilities  over  water  is  nowhere  near  and  won't  be  as  strong  as  children  of  poseidon,  however  as  the  daughter  of  an  oceanid  and  the  granddaughter  of  two  water  titans,  at  the  peak  height  of  her  potential,  the  abilities  can  be  expressed  as  a  solid  advanced  ranking  .

her  powers  began  to  manifest  not  too  long  after  her  encounter  with  a  monster,  as  a  form  of  self  defense  she  didn't  know  she  needed  .  but,  since  maggy  is  pretty  oblivious  to  think,  she  shrugged  it  all  as  a  coincidence  (  e.g.,  being  totally  warm  while  skinny  dipping  in  a  nearly  freezing  lake  with  friends  or  saving  a  baby  frog  in  a  pond  by  creating  a  little  safety  bubble  around  it  )  and  never  thought  too  much  about  it  .  thankfully,  she  was  usually  tipsy  during  these  incidents  so  it  was  easy  to  shrug  off  .

this  is  mainly  because  if  she  thought  too  long  about  it,  she'd  realize  it's  all  too  weird  to  be  normal  and  she  just  wants  to  be  normal  .  (  sucks  to  suck  i  guess  )

because  she  wasn't  actively  training  her  abilities,  by  the  time  she  arrived  to  nemean  lion,  they  were  really  out  of  control  .  with  strict  training  to  catch  up  (  essentially  ),  she  now  is  able  to  warm  water  a  little  beyond  lukewarm  and  cool  it  a  little  beyond  room  temperature  .  she's  found  a  way  to  hone  her  concentration  and  focus  because  wowie,  she's  found  something  she's  not  good  at  and  it's  annoying  her  that  she's  not  good  at  it  so  now  she  has  to  get  good  at  it  .  talk  about  issues  .

 so,  she’s  gained  steady  mastery  over  heating  and  cooling  water,  but  it’s  nowhere  near  being  able  to  boil  or  freeze  it  .  she’s  slowly  trying  to  work  on  moving  water  and  is  able  to  make  small  bubbles  but  has  yet  to  be  able  to  shape  it  or  stretch  it  out  the  water  .  so  just  know  the  h20  girls  are  jobless  now  .  anyways,  a  lot  of  her  powers  are  very  emotional  driven  and  she  sometimes  has  bursts  of  powerful  abilities  that  show  up  when  she’s  feeling  high  tension  emotions  really  rapidly  (  like  super  angry,  or  upset,  or  even  happy,  but  at  a  pretty  high  degree.  it  can  been  triggered  while  she's  super  drunk  too  )  and  then  go  away  as  soon  as  she  calms  down  .  in  occurrences  like  these,  she’s  been  able  to  shape  water  with  more  structure,  boil  water  rapidly  or  freeze  a  partial  part  of  water,  among  other  things  .  after  she’s  regained  composure,  her  abilities  return  back  (  so  the  water  loses  shape,  the  water  cools  down  and  the  water  unfreezes  )  to  normal  .  after  these  types  of  instances  though,  since  it  takes  a  lot  of  stamina  that  she  is  still  working  on  gaining,  she's  pretty  winded  and  it  takes  her  a  couple  of  hours  to  regain  her  strength  completely  ,  in  the  form  of  a  nap  or  relaxing  completely  .  being  in  water  also  helps  boost  the  recharging  period  .

she's  well  aware  she's  not  very  strong  with  her  abilities  but  it  only  gives  her  more  of  a  motivation  to  become  good  at  it  to  the  point  of  being  excellent  .  she  shows  a  lot  of  high  potential  in  her  abilities  so  far,  with  being  able  to  gain  some  structure  in  her  powers  in  the  span  of  some  months  .  she  also  shows  potential  in  sparring  and  likes  to  intertwine  what  she  learns  in  that  when  training  for  her  abilities  .  as  her  limitations  are  mainly  the  fact  she  learned  of  her  lineage  not  that  long  ago  and  having  to  play  catch  up,  with  another  of  her  emotional  side  having  to  tone  down  so  she  doesn't  have  sudden  bursts  and  more  of  a  flow  .

powers:  magic,  with a specialty in  psychometry

how did they discover their powers and limitation?

since juniper was young, her magic was hard to contain. and when she realized she couldn’t stop herself from using it, she learned how to make it more entertaining -- in the hopes that would be enough to lessen the burden she put on her households. and from that stemmed her innate desire to get creative and experiment with her magic, testing the boundaries of what she could do. it didn’t take long before she realized using too much, or going too far, would force her body to shut down. she’ll pass out from over-exertion every now and again, to this day. astrid is never pleased.

her skill with psychometry took longer to notice. as a kid, sometimes she would touch objects and get snippets of its past, but never thought much of it until she met the johnsons. even now, she doesn’t use it very often. mostly, it’s useful for tracking purposes. if she was smarter, she’d make a great detective!

how do they handle it ?

juni uses her magic all the time, even when it’s functionally unnecessary. sometimes she wants to literally sparkle, or float, or turn another color. a part of her knows she should probably chill out, but she can’t help it. she’s not the kind of person to think ahead.

how do they recharge ?

she’ll just take a break from using it, either because she has to focus on something else, or because her body forces her to.

are there any life hacks they found to help the restriction last shorter ?

‘ note to self:  try not to do any big magic without a partner, and always keep your life alert bracelet on in case of emergencies :)                   --- juni ’

how advanced do they think they are with their abilities?

pretty average! sometimes she can get big and elemental magic out if someone helps her.  ( and by ‘someone’, she means ivy. she’s the only one who sees her vision )  otherwise, she sticks to things with more flash, less bang -- especially illusion-based magic.

the psychometry is a different beast, though. it’s way more reliable, and she gets clearer images with each touch. she’s still working her way up to touching people without passing out though.

what’s their relationship with their power(s) and limitation(s)

her magic is integral to her whole being. even when all it did was cause problems and force her out of homes, juniper loved her magic. it’s the only thing in her life that’s always been there since she can remember. she does have a terrible tendency to push past her physical limits, especially when she’s experimenting. and it’s definitely not strong enough to rely on in combat, so it sits on the back burner during a lot of her training. kind of a bummer, in that regard.

powers: chlorokinesis & plant communication limitations: the degree to which he controls the plant/the size of the plant is proportional to the amount of effort required. also i’m assuming it’s kind of awkward to control a plant when you can also communicate with it, but i think that just reinforces oliver’s proclivity to be kind to all plants so maybe they’re fine with it.

how did they discover their powers and limitation?

this was pretty easy, considering he grew up around plants thanks to his father’s job. if anything, his dad wanted to see if oliver had any powers from a young age so he could use them to his benefit -- not that he abused his son’s power, because in the end they both love plants and want the best for them! but of course it’s hard to ignore the fact that you can hear plants talking to you.

how do they handle it ?

oliver’s powers are pretty lowkey and also super in line with his personality. he can’t go a day without using them, especially plant communication. he doesn’t usually like controlling plants just for the hell of it, though, unless it’s in a helpful way like if a plant starts growing in a less than beneficial direction or is heading towards harm’s way, then he’ll adjust it accordingly. it doesn’t take much energy to do these small things and he enjoys it!

how do they recharge ?

with water like a plant :)

are there any life hacks they found to help the restriction last shorter ?

i really do think both water and sunlight energize him, though he rarely uses his powers to the extent that he gets tired. and if he did, he would take it as a sign to chill out, unless it was under dire circumstances.

how advanced do they think they are with their abilities ?

10/10!!! he’s been at nl for a while now, he’s graduated already, and he gets regular practice so he would consider himself fully capable with the powers he has. he doesn’t really practice pulling a layla from sky high often, but he doesn’t think he needs to, though he’s pretty sure he could do something wild like that if needed???

what’s their relationship with their power(s) and limitation(s) ?

oliver loves his powers and can’t imagine life without them. the limitations are pretty minimal, especially considering the things he personally uses his powers for.

[quietepics]

powers:  probability munipulation  &  disruption

how did they discover their powers and limitation ?

         she discovered them at a very young age ,  mainly because her parents had always kept her aware of who they were and what that meant for her ,  not to mention she started frequenting NL as a small child .  the limitations also came with that knowledge ,  since she’s a quarter god instead of a demigoddess .  in adition to that ,  harmonia kids and their nullification power are a limitation to her that she absolutely despises . 

how do they handle it ?

         honestly ,  not very well .  growing up ,  layla never had the chance to be a normal person , and she blames her godly heritage for that as well as her powers .  her gambling career was put on hold and tarnished because of her relation to tyche ,  and her time away from NL where she was traveling the world and making a name for herself in that community was the only time she felt normal and appreciated for her own skills ,  and not because of some godly gift ,  or even feared since she’s also related to eris .

how do they recharge ?

         there isn’t a very specific way for her to recharge per se ,  but if layla is ever feeling the slightest bit insecure ( a rare ocurrance these days, as she’s learned to trick herself into confidence ) ,  she’ll flip a dracma she always carries in her pocket / purse ,  like some sort of heads - tails situation .  she also likes to shuffle card decks and “play” with the stock market for relaxation .  at worst ,  her powers will cause her to feel fatigued for a while depending on how much she uses them ,  but its nothing a nice drink and rest can’t fix .

are there any life hacks they found to help the restriction last shorter ?

           not really ,  as she sees life hacks as a form of cheating and doesn’t want to “take the easy way out”.

how advanced do they think they are with their abilities?

           she considered herself incredibly advanced ,  pretty much having mastered her powers .  however ,  layla also thinks settling as she is would be dumb ,  and that there’s always something she can improve on even if she’s already at peak performance .  she’s very strong  despite being a quarter god ,  and keeps pushing herself further and further since limits annoy her  ---  especially those out of her control . 

what’s their relationship with their power(s) and limitation(s)

        she loves her powers ,  but her relationship with them is a bit complicated ,  especially with the limitations .  layla is a bit of an overarchiever in all aspects of her life ,  always wanting to be in control of a situation ,  be the best at it and have people recognize her as such .  that causes her to becomes frustrated every time she tires herself from using her powers ,  or isn’t able to something she didn’t foresee coming happens and changes the probability of a situation ,  or when her disruptive influence is nullified somehow .

[stormieburbank]

nltask001 // **limitations

name: stormie burbank child of: dionysus power: madness manipulation

stormie had no inkling that she was a demigod, even when her powers showed themselves in tiny ways growing up. despite pretending not to care about wanting a relationship with her parents, stormie always craved affection and attention from them. so in the rare moments her mother would allow stormie close to her, usually on her bad days with her depression and anxiety, she would find herself willing her mother’s stress away, and it seemed to work. stormie thought this to be luck/coincidence.

however, she would then notice that she would feel inexplicably anxious, or be so depressed one day she couldn’t get out of bed, or would stay in bed all day crying or sleeping. she chalked this up to hormones, as this showed itself in her late childhood/preteen years.

when stormie was kicked out of her home, she was taken in by marshal and his family, and because they knew about demigods and nemean lion, they recognized stormie’s power for what it was.

it seemed to be very weak at first, just because stormie never really actually put effort into it. she put it to the test for the first time when a friend of hers with bpd was experiencing a depressive episode. stormie willed it away, and found that it worked.

however, the next day, she found herself overwhelmed with the exact same depressive episode. it was exhausting, and as someone who is neurotypical, stormie gained a new appreciation for people who were neurodivergent and experiencing mental health issues. this was how she learned the limitation to her power, which is to absorb someone’s “madness” is to experience it herself.

she can not magically cure someone of a mental illness, but she can greatly lessen their symptoms. it’s hard for her to say no because she feels obligated to help her friends, and never really shares with anyone that she takes on the symptoms instead.

in addition to this, stormie can also induce madness. the madness she induces comes in two forms.

one: her ability to push off the madness she absorbed onto someone else. she does not use this, feeling obligated to take the burden onto herself if she’s going to help someone.

two: inducing a madness that is not permanent. for example, she can induce hallucinations, usually very horrifying and visceral and visual ones. she feels like this is a very villainous power, and would only use it to incapacitate an enemy to protect those she loves. this takes a great deal of effort, and she has to focus to maintain the hallucinations.

the hallucinations can also be auditory. she can do something like cause a constant and increasing ringing in someone’s ear, things like that.

stormie’s ability to absorb madness usually spares someone for a week or so. or in the case of someone with bpd for example, she can just end a manic or depressive episode early.

she didn’t start fine tuning her powers until she came to nemean lion and even then she cares more about being an ambassador than being a fighter, so she doesn’t put much thought into how actually powerful she is, how she could stop someone in their tracks in battle with hallucinations of armies and monsters.

she’s still learning her own limitations as well.

again i hope this makes sense xoxo this is mostly just my train of thought typed up.

nltask001 // **limitations // ariel eckhaus

name: ariel eckhaus child of: thanatos power: death sense and inducement

ariel’s powers came into play for her after her brother watched her die and said nah and resurrected her.

she can sense any impending death, and the type of death it will be depends on when she can sense it. the more sudden the death will be, the more powerful her sense is. she can pass a random stranger on the street and immediately feel that they will die in a car accident on the way home. this part of her power does not require physical touch, which can make it a bit confusing in crowds. she’ll get a sense of someone’s death but have no idea which person in the crowd it is.

she does not see visions of these deaths naturally; instead it’s like the knowledge simply appears in her brain. physical touch to the person and willing herself to see what will happen herself can allow her to see visions, but this is exhausting to her and she will usually have to spend the rest of the day napping.

another limitation is that she can feel the emotional burden that she is taking away from people when she induces their death.

to induce, ariel needs physical touch, just like she does to see visions of the death she is essentially preventing by allowing the person to choose when they will die. it can be any sort, and it could be accidental if she’s not careful, but ariel is always careful and the touch must also be prolonged, so she can’t just accidentally bump into someone and kill them.

it takes a great deal of effort to will death into a person. it’s essentially a trade of energy. she pushes death onto the person. to the person, it feels warm and gentle. there is no suffering when someone dies by ariel’s hand.

the trade is that ariel is absorbing the days, months, or year (which is the maximum amount of time she can sense a death from) that she is taking away by choosing their death day. this is exhausting for her. she does not feel the physical pain of the person, but it is a great toll on her emotionally and mentally. the day after inducing a death, ariel can be found in bed, napping, and she does not speak about the emotional toll it takes on her because that would ruin her ~cool girl~ image.

ariel thinks she has a good handle on her abilities because she lives rent free in her own head. there is a part of her that knows it could be used for evil but while she is a big butthead, she’s not evil, just mean.

ariel also wonders if a year is her true limit on sensing a death, or if she can push herself into knowing exactly when everyone will die mostly because she’s nosy??

her relationship with this power is that she’ll use it if someone asks but she’s definitely not the type to actively seek out people to help them end their suffering because she simply doesn’t care about anyone but herself and shiloh.

this is so rambly if it doesn’t make sense i am begging someone to be honest w me thank you also i copy pasted the details from tay’s old task and refit it to ariel so if you see tay’s name that’s my bad pals.

powers: plant growth & shadow travel limitations: she can grow plants within reason, namely she can’t create her own jack and the beanstalk situation. sena is older and has been at nemean lion for over a decade, so she’s exceptionally competent when it comes to her powers, but they still drain her just as they do anyone else. it’s essentially effortless for her to make plants grow, at this point. it’d be difficult for her to attempt growing many plants all at once, though. she can’t, for example, make an entire garden of flowers bloom at the same time. sena’s shadow travel is something she mostly uses for convenience, if she’s especially in a rush. normally she’ll travel from one area of campus to another. she certainly couldn’t travel to another city/state/country. but she can pop into a shadowy/dark place in the LA area if necessary. she can blend in with the shadows for quite a while, though after a while she’d become tired if she pushed herself to stay concealed for longer than an hour.

how did they discover their powers and limitation ?

the plant growth she noticed almost immediately once her powers began manifesting, because she’s always had a fondness for plants and nature and whenever she saw a plant that seemed to be struggling, she’d wish it was bigger and more healthy. it didn’t take long for her to start growing flowers between cracks in the pavement. the shadow travel took her much longer to figure out, because initially she thought her power was to blend in with shadows, and not to use them for travel. the first time she successfully shadow traveled was just from one end of the room to the other inside her house.

how do they handle it ?

sena considers her powers to be rather lowkey and practical, so she’s thankful for them, though they don’t necessarily help her with her career or everyday life.

how do they recharge ?

she tries to get a good night’s sleep and remember to eat regularly, though she’s lucky that both sunlight and darkness make her feel energized in different ways.

are there any life hacks they found to help the restriction last shorter ?

staying hydrated makes it easier for her to grow plants. as for shadow travel, it’s definitely more effective when she doesn’t use it a bunch back to back.

how advanced do they think they are with their abilities ?

very advanced! she’s had her powers for more than half of her life now and she’s been training for so long that she feels extremely comfortable and capable when it comes to her powers.

what’s their relationship with their power(s) and limitation(s) ?

in a way they’ve always helped her not to lose control, like her plant growing abilities aren’t so powerful and unwieldy that she’s had to worry about waking up surrounded by vines or something like that. her powers take a certain amount of concentration and intention, which she appreciates.

[stvpidinlove]

powers: oneirokinesis & sleep connection limitations: being able to induce and control dreams is kind of fun, but...she can only do it for short spurts at a time. mayumi has never been the best student, so she has a lot to work on as far as her effectiveness and stamina go, but she can control dreams with ease for at least twenty minutes. luckily for her, dreams always feel longer than they are! kicking off a dream for someone is pretty easy and she hasn’t struggled with that in a long time. for sleep connection, she can only connect dreams of people who consent beforehand, and she can’t use both powers at once. so if she connects two dreams, she has no power over the content or what happens. dream connection is still a new power for her, so she has a long way to go if she wants to learn how to use both of her powers at the same time.

how did they discover their powers and limitation ?

oneirokinesis is something she’s been able to do for a while, since...well, she does it in her sleep! it would happen without her thinking about it. for a while she assumed it was just vivid dreaming, since mortals can also control their dreams in some cases. learning it was weird came along with learning the truth about her father. sleep connection is something she only recently discovered, since she’d never thought to ask two people if she could randomly see if she could connect their dreams. i feel like she would have gotten two friends to go along with it kind of as a joke, from hearing that some hypnos kids had the ability to connect dreams, and then mayumi was surprised when it actually worked. it didn’t take her long to figure out she needed permission in order to connect dreams.

how do they handle it ?

mayumi’s powers are pretty well suited to her, since she loves sleeping! of course, it does take energy and skill to use her powers, but the oneirokinesis is easy when it comes to her own dreams, which is her priority most of the time. she thinks dream connection is cool, but not super practical, at least she can’t think of a heroic reason to use it yet. 

how do they recharge ?

WITH FOOD! and...sleep.

are there any life hacks they found to help the restriction last shorter ?

i don’t really think this applies to mayumi since she hasn’t had a lot of experience connecting dreams yet, or even just using her oneirokinesis on others. but she’s pretty sure surrounding herself with snacks while using her powers is effective.

how advanced do they think they are with their abilities ?

she’s relatively skilled, like she feels really comfortable with her oneirokinesis especially in regards to her own dreams, and she’s excited to work more on dream connection

what’s their relationship with their power(s) and limitation(s) ?

it’s kind of nice needing permission for dream connection, though it’d be fun to do it with whoever she wanted whenever she wanted...but that would be invasive, so she’s only a little bummed with the limitation. otherwise, she’s satisfied with her powers.
