Demigods(Half-Bloods)

Demigods, also known as half-bloods, are sons or daughters of the Olympians, or a minor god and a mortal parent. There have been demigods for centuries and several have changed mortal events.

Demigods, in their mother's womb, only take three months to grow and become full developed, as shown by Sally Jackson's summer romance with Poseidon, leading to Percy being born in August.

Demigods possess some degree of their immortal parents' power. They are found by satyrs between the fourth through the ninth grade.

They are escorted to Camp Half-Blood where they are placed into one of the twelve cabins, each honoring a different Olympian.

Most demigods wait forever to be claimed. Children of Athena are claimed at birth, while others have to demonstrate some form of their parents' trait to be noticed, either through cunning, powers, skills like archery, or even beauty. Otherwise, they are placed in Hermes' cabin,and since he is patron to travelers, anyone is welcomed there, including children of minor gods who aren't important enough to have a cabin.

Demigods often go on quests given to them by the Oracle.

Traits
Demigod have a distinct scent that all monsters/satyrs can smell. There are ways to hide or mask the scent, but if a demigod realizes what he/she is, their scent will become stronger. Satyrs try to take advantage of their ability to smell half-bloods in order to save them. They go undercover in schools, and try to find demigods and get them to Camp Half-Blood where they can train and learn how to survive.

Also, most demigods have ADHD and dyslexia. This is because their ADHD is their battle reflexes, so they can notice their opponents "weak points". They have dyslexia because their mind is hard-wired for reading and interpreting ancient Greek.

Etymology
Most demigods' last names seem to relate to their Olympian parent.

Silena Beauregard, daughter of Aphrodite- Beauregard is French. It literally means "good looking".

Lee Fletcher, son of Apollo- A fletcher is someone who makes archery arrows.

Micheal Yew, son of Apollo- Yew is a favourable choice of wood to use for longbows.

Nico di Angelo, son of Hades- Nico is most likely deprived from the prefix Necro, to mean "dead". Di Angelo means "of angels".

Will Solace, son of Apollo- Though Solace really means "to comfort in distress", just as Will comforted and healed Annabeth when she was injured, Solace could also be a play on the word "Solar".

Thalia Grace, daughter of Zeus- The name of one of the three Graces (and nine Muses) is Thalia. She too, was a daughter of Zeus. The Muse Thalia sired a child, Corybantes, with Apollo. Percy's friend Thalia was also attracted to Apollo.

Pollux & Castor, twin sons of Dionysus- They share the same names as the twins of the Gemini.

Jake Mason, son of Hephaestus- Mason means "one who works with stone".

Clarisse La Rue, daughter of Ares- Larue as one word means "the red-haired one", refering to her hair color. But "la" is just French for "the", and "rue" is to regret. Which could relate to how she regretted Silena's death, or if you cross her, you'll regret it.

Travis and Connor Stoll, sons of Hermes- Their name is a homonym for stole, as Hermes is the god of thieves, which was brought up in the Sea of Monsters.

Katie Gardener, daughter of Demeter- Demeter is the goddess of agriculture and her last name refures to one who gardens or works with plants.
