Aegir
Aegir is the god of the sea, the seashore, and oceans. He is mainly associated with bad waters and disasters at sea, as he is said to capsize boats just for his entertainment. Aegir is also known for his skill with brewing ale, as well as throwing elaborate parties for the gods.
Aegir is married to the sea goddess Ran, and with her, he sired nine daughters (the billows), who were adorned in white robes and veils, and who later became the joint mothers of Heimdall.
Aegir has the potential to have many demigod children.
Appearance: (More to come . . .)
Personality: (More to come . . .)
Traits of the Children of Aegir:
- As Aegir is the more violent and destructive of the two sea gods, his children tend to be more violent and destructive as well.
- They can be rash, too, and unlike the children of Njord, they tend to use their powers for more damaging means, to make themselves seem more powerful (therefore, they can create and control sea storms).
- The children of Aegir CANNOT heal with water, as their dad is more destructive and uses his power to hurt people, not help them.
- The children of Aegir can talk to sea animals, though they tend to command them to do more violent things, such as attacking and killing enemies rather than just distracting them.
- They can also sense the latitude and longitude that they are at while at sea, and what landmasses they might be near.
- Every Aegir kid has the potential to be able to control PEOPLE based on the level of water in their bodies, though this takes A LOT of practice and skill, and requires someone that has been training for a long time with their other powers, usually a senior counselor or someone who has been at the camp for a long time. Njord kids do not have this power, since it would be used for more of a damaging basis, and not a peaceful one.

Baldr
Baldr is the god of beauty, light, joy, peace, purity, and innocence. His parents are Odin and Frigga, and he is married to the goddess Nanna, through whom he sired a son, Forseti, the god of justice. He was – and still is – a very handsome, friendly, and popular god of good character. However, Baldr is often slow with the brain and isn't very intelligent.
In Norse mythology, it is said that Baldr is killed by his blind brother, Hod, after Hod was tricked by Loki into killing Baldr. Hod was said to have killed Baldr by using mistletoe, the only thing that could harm Baldr. We're not going to say that the killing happened, though it was probably a close shot. We might use the "fact" that Baldr could have been killed by mistletoe in the RP, for purposes for him and his children.
Baldr has the potential to have many demigod children.
Appearance: Very handsome (More to come . . .)
Personality: Baldr is friendly and a popular guy of good character, though is often slow and not very intelligent. (More to come . . .)
Traits of the Children of Baldr:
- The children of Baldr tend to be very beautiful/handsome, though are generally vain about it. They can also be a bit slow.
- Baldr's children (and himself) have serious allergic reactions to mistletoe. It's like their Achilles's heal, in the sense that it can be fatal to them.
- Baldr kids TEND to be happy, but they don't HAVE to be.
- Baldr kids seem to have an aura of happiness and joy around them that affects other people into being happier. Thought that doesn't necessarily means that it always works.
- The only true power that Baldr kids have is that they can use charmspeak, very similar to the power used by Aphrodite kids. They can persuade others to do their bidding. They can do it as an amateur, though are much better at it once they're trained.

Freyr
Freyr is the god of the sun, rain, harvests, pleasure, and prosperity. It is debated whether or not he is also the god of weather, since he and his children can control it. He is called upon for protection during battle. Freyr rides in a chariot pulled by the golden boar Gullinbursti. He also owns a ship called Skidbladnir, which always sails towards its target, and which he can shrink to a size so small that he can fit it in his pocket. Freyr also possesses a sword that would, by its self, emerge from its sheath and spread a field with carnage whenever the owner desired it.
Freyr is the son of Njord, and twin brother to the goddess Freya. He is married to the extremely beautiful giantess Gerd.
Freyr is popular, well-liked, and handsome.
Freyr has the potential to have many demigod children.
Appearance: Very handsome (More to come . . .)
Personality: (More to come . . .)
Traits of the Children of Freyr:
- Children of Freyr are VERY beautiful/handsome, though tend to be vain about it.
- Children of Freyr can control the weather. Often they can control minor things in weather as amateurs, such as a minor shift in temperature or a small rainstorm, though they are trained at the NHBD to better control and enhance their powers.
- They tend to take pleasure over hard work, and so tend to learn magic rather than fighting, though they can learn fighting, or both.
- Freyr's children tend to be lucky or wealthy (or both), and generally prosper better than other half-bloods.

Frigga
Frigga is the goddess of marriage and motherhood, and, as Odin's wife, the foremost goddess of Asgard. She has the reputation of knowing everyone's destiny, though never unveils it.
Frigga is the mother to Baldr and Hodur, by Odin, of course.
Frigga probably has a limited number of demigod children.
Appearance: (More to come . . .)
Personality: (More to come . . .)
Traits of the Children of Frigga:
- Children of Frigga are normally romantic. And not Freya type of romantic, where Freya's children are kind of . . . eh . . . whores. No, Frigga children are just romantic, and they don't like to mess with people with love magic . . . they just like to set up "good couples".
- Frigga's children tend to be motherly/fatherly. They adore children and do alright with just about anyone younger than them . . . or even older than them or the same age that they think they need to be motherly/fatherly to. This also makes Frigga's children protective (even overly so), and they tend to dote on people more than they should.
- If they grow to be old enough, Frigga's kids tend to grow up and marry into a very happy relationship, in which they will not divorce. Because they hate it. Obviously. So they can usually find soulmates.
- Frigga kids, like their mother, can see other people's future (they CANNOT see their own futures). Frigga kids that are less trained, say kids that have been there for under three years, can only see auras around other people that determine what their future will be like, and they can also see a bit of the present. Pink signifies love; a hot pink means someone is in love, a salmon pink means that someone has a crush, and a pastel pink that someone ISN'T in love at all. Black means that a person is going to die young; DARK gray means that a person is going to die soon. White means that a person is going to die old; LIGHT gray means that somebody isn't going to die for 2+ more years. Brown means that it is unclear when somebody is going to die. Red signifies marriage. If a person's marriage aura is a bright, vivid red, then it means that they are in a good marriage; if it is a pastel red, it means that they are in a bad marriage. All Frigga kids can see these auras when they first arrive at camp (and possible before, though they are mostly just auras of the present, nothing showing the future), though it takes them awhile to develop their powers. As they train and get older, they can see more auras and are eventually trained to see glimpses of other people's futures. Sometimes Frigga kids can even see auras and glimpses of someone's past, though this comes with even more practice.

Heimdall
Heimdall is the god of light, and the guardian of the Bifrost, the rainbow bridge that connects the world of men, Midgard, to the world of the gods, Asgard. He has teeth made of gold, and therefore, is sometimes called "Gold Tooth". Heimdall also has a horse named Gulltopp, who has a golden mane. He is said to be able to see for a hundred miles around him, and no sound escapes his ears; we'll just say that he's an all-seeing guardian, who can see and hear what transpires in Midgard and Asgard if he so wishes.
Heimdall has the potential to have many demigod children.
Appearance: Has golden teeth, light skin (More to come . . .)
Personality: (More to come . . .)
Traits of the Children of Heimdall:
- Heimdall's children can control light. Think Apollo.
- Heimdall's children have heightened senses, mainly in the areas of vision and hearing. They can see and hear much better than other mortals and half-bloods, and even gods.
- Since Heimdall's is all-seeing, his children have a similar power, though not as widespread. They can see the present if they concentrate on either and object or a person, and they can see them; though they don't have the power to see gods, of any pantheon. Their powers work better within a close radius, say fifty square miles, though if they train enough, they can see farther; however, forcing themselves to see something from a far distance drains their energy, and they can't see as far as say, Europe, without passing out. Even if they are trained. So their distribution of energy is something they work on, too.
- Heimdall's children can work and run the Bifrost, the passage between the nine realms, though that doesn't necessarily mean they are all good at operating it.

Hel
Hel is the daughter of the god Loki and the giantess Angrboda. She is the youngest of Loki's three "monster" children through Angrboda. Hel is the goddess of the inglorious dead (old age, illness, the wicked, etc) and death, and the ruler of the realm of Helheim, the realm of the dead. Helheim is a dreary, cold and damp, depressing place filled with apathetic souls that were not warriors or heroes or great rulers in their lives; which adds up to be most people.
Hel probably has a limited number of demigod children.
Personality: (More to come . . .)
Appearance: Hel is often described as being very ugly, mainly because she is said to look half-dead and half-living. The left side of her body is dead, and the right half is living. The living parts of Hel's body could be described as beautiful; however, her living parts are offset by her dead parts, which cause most people to label her as "ugly". Her hair is thick and a glossy black on her living part, though on her dead part, her hair is prickly, and so faded that it's almost gray. Her right eye is a violet color that teems with life and mischief, the left eye is a startling blood red; it looks dull and unfocused. Her skin on the dead side is moldering and has a blueish-gray hue, and might even show some bone, while the skin on her living side shines in a pale, milky white color.
Hel can hide her appearance to mortals, though even they tend to see her hidden form as being somewhat ugly.
Traits of the Children of Hel:
- All of Hel's children can control the dead. Think of Nico and his army of skeletons and such.
- All of Hel's children can see auras concerning death around people. A bright, blood red means that a person is going to die soon, within the next two years; a crimson red means that a person is going to die young. A pink means that a person will die within the next 3 to 10 years. A purple means within the next 11 to 25 years. A blue means within the next 26 to 39 years. A green means within the next 40 to 49 years. And a gray means in 50+ years. A white means a person will die at an old age (generally from natural causes). An orange means they will die of disease. A black means they will be brutally killed. A brown means that their future is unsure. A gold means that somebody close to them has died recently (within the past two years), while a silver means that somebody close to them died over two years ago. A flickering aura means that the person has killed another person before.
- Children of Hel have many small powers, though they specialize in one power. For example, other demigods can only see the dead in the Underworld/Helheim, but the children of Hel can see the "wandering dead" wherever they go, always in ghost form. However, only a certain number of them can communicate with the "wandering dead" outside of Helheim, and they are the only ones that can control the ghosts outside of Helheim; now, ghosts and the dead are two different things. Ghosts are more of the soul aspect of a person. All children of Hel can control the dead bodies of the deceased, since they have no soul. However, the children of Hel that can talk to the "wandering dead" can also control them, and both being able to talk to them and control them can work to their advantage. Only in Helheim can other children of Hel control ghosts; and the ghosts try to fight them. But children that can control the "wandering dead" can also control ghosts in Helheim with no problem, while their counterparts have more trouble. All children of Hel can communicate with ghosts in Helheim, though.
- Another specialized power that children of Hel can have is the ability to bring the dead back to life. This only works for a few minutes, however, before the person falls dead again. Basically, let's say that, in this world/mythology, there are two parts to a person – the body and the soul. After death, the soul separates from the body and goes to the Underworld/Helheim. The body either stays were it died, or burns (because it obviously couldn't exist any longer if it burned). When the children of Hel use the specialized power of bringing the dead back to life, they connect the soul back with the body. Once the soul is connected back with the body, the demigods with this specialized power reverse the affects of the person's death and decomposition, and bring them back to life in a healthy form. However, the effects of this power usually only last for an average of five minutes, unless the person is fully trained in the "art", and they can keep the person alive longer. However, even the most skilled person can only keep a previously dead person alive for a half hour before they die again; without touching them. While touching them they might be able to keep them alive for longer, but only people who have been at the camp an exceptional amount of years might have been able to try that.
- Yet another specialized power that children of Hel can have is an enhanced power to the generic aura power. Not only can those with this specialized power see auras, but they can see pasts and futures involving auras as well. This specialized power literally lets its users see a vision of what will happen to a person when they die, along with their aura. It also lets them see the death in the person's past; who died that they were close to, anything involving death in their lives, etc.

Hodur
Sometimes called "Hod", Hodur is the son of Odin and Frigga, and brother to Baldr. He is blind and is the god of winter and darkness. Hodur is a bit slow, and was said to have killed Baldr with mistletoe after being tricked by Loki, though we are going to say that the attempt was close, but failed.
Hodur probably has a limited amount of demigod children.
Appearance: (More to come . . .)
Personality: (More to come . . .)
Traits of the Children of Hodur:
- The children of Hodur can control darkness and shadows – literally. It might work in different ways, so whatever you come up with for your own character is fine.
- Hodur's children have other powers somewhat similar to the powers of the children of Skadi. They can control different aspects of the winter, such as the snow and ice. They can control temperature, too, but can only make it colder, not hotter.
- The children of Hodur tend to love cold weather, and anything having to do with the winter.
- They also tend to be night owls and hate waking up early in the morning – as well as morning people. So don't expect a Hodur kid to wake up before noon, or go to bed before three am.

Idun
Idun is the goddess of eternal youth and immortality. She presides over the golden apples of youth. The gods eat the golden apples of youth in order to keep themselves young when they think that they are aging, though since we're saying that all gods are immortal unless gods and goddesses from different pantheons kill each other, then we'll say that the golden apples work like ambrosia or nectar for the Greeks. She is married to Bragi, the god of poetry.
Idun probably has a limited amount of demigod children
Appearance: (More to come . . .)
Personality: (More to come . . .)
Traits of the Children of Idun:
- The children of Idun have the ability to make themselves appear younger (as in a younger version of themselves), but cannot make themselves appear any older than they are. They can also make other people younger than they really are (though, obviously, not older).
- The children of Idun have no power over immortality.
- They tend to look younger than they really are.

Loki
Loki is the god of magic, fire, mischief, and trickery. He could also be the god of earthquakes. Loki is a shape-shifter and can change into many different forms. He is the son of the giant Farbauti and the giantess Laufey. It is said that Loki is also a "blood brother" to Odin (not related, more of adopted by Odin himself), and that's how he became a god.
Even though Loki is married to Sigyn, he sired three children with the giantess Angrboda. These children were the "monsters" Fenrir, Jormungand (the Midgard Serpent), and Hel. Fenrir is a gigantic and terrible monster in the shape of a wolf, who is the eldest child of Loki and Angrboda. Jormungand is the middle child of Loki and Angrboda, and was thrown into the ocean surrounding Midgard by Odin. Jormungand lies deep in the ocean, and is said to have all of mankind caught between its coils. Hel is the youngest of Loki and Angrboda's children, and is the half-living, half-dead ruler of Helheim, the realm of the inglorious dead.
Loki has the potential to have many demigod children.
Appearance: (More to come . . .)
Personality: (More to come . . .)
Traits of the Children of Loki:
- Loki's children tend to be very, very mischievous. They love trickery, and love pranks and pranking others. Their favorite activity is probably pranking new kids. Or Baldr kids. Either one.
- The children of Loki are great with words and persuasion, and are said to have a "silver tongue" of sorts, like their father.
- They are GREAT with magic, since their father is the god of magic, and normally use that as their primary defense instead of weaponry. They are, however, given a weapon when they are claimed like everyone else, and are trained in the weapon department, though are more heavily trained by the senior counselors in magic.
The children of Loki can create and control fire. This skill can take many years to master, and children of Loki are only allowed to use their fire powers in a battle if they are at a level two with them; this is still discouraged, however, and a level three is often the standard to use fire powers on the battlefield, since many level twos have hurt their own comrades during training.
- Loki's children are also taught the art of shape shifting. They are taught to shape shift into many different creatures, animals, and even sometimes humans. The number of things you can change into depends on how long you've been training and the level at which you are on.
- Loki kids are generally better at either controlling fire or shape shifting. If they are good at both, then they have a limited range of other magical abilities that they are weak in. If they are weak at both fire creation/control and shape shifting, then their range for other magic is a lot wider and more powerful, or they might have another special power (talk to me about that one).

Mani
Mani is the god of the moon. He is the son of Mundilfari and the brother of Sol, the goddess of the sun. At night he rides a chariot pulled by horses through the sky, and determines the moon's waxing and waning. Mani is pursued by the wolf Hati ("hate"), and whenever manages to catch the moon, a lunar eclipse would occur.
According to myth, a man named Vidfinn had two children named Hjuki and Bil. He sent them to a well to fetch some water. When Mani saw the two children, he took them away with him, and they became the face of the man on the moon.
Has the potential to have a lot of demigod children.
Appearance: (More to come . . .)
Personality: (More to come . . .)
Traits of the Children of Mani:
- Mani's children are night owls. They love staying up late into the night and early into the morning when it is still dark outside, and hate waking up early.
- The children of Mani are stronger during the night than during the day.
- They tend to have a fear of wolves, and have probably been chased by a few – in odd places, nonetheless – during their lives.
