Zombie Outbreak in Texas!!!

Hail Survivors!

I recently received a very grave -no pun intended- warning from Survivor Miles who I believe may be located in or near Texas. Survivor Miles recently survived a vicious zombie attack, armed with only his wits and hedge clippers. His parents unfortunately were not so lucky.

Demigods

Demi rhymes with semi and hemi and like all those X-emis it means, “half.”  Ergo, a demigod is half god. As a result of this half-and-half status, demigods usually have some extraordinary godlike powers but always combined with an equal number of extraordinary human weaknesses. A common example of this? Lightning fast reflexes combined with ADHD.  Or like Achilles, you may be invulnerable to bullets everywhere except for your heel, which if attacked can instantly kill you.  Or like Samson, super-strong until somebody cuts off your hair.

And that’s the easiest part of this definition, because nobody can agree on the rest. Like, where do demigods really come from? I won’t go into detail about it here but as you probably already suspect, this debate is about biology vs. environment again. Are gods and goddesses really prone to periodic acts of love with mortals, with lil’ demigodlings the genetic result? Could your real mom or dad be a god or a goddess? Or can any creature appeal to any god or goddess for the gift or loan of god-like powers therefore be elevated to the status of demigod, either temporarily or permanently?

Whatever the case, it’s prudent to identify them – or to know if YOU could be one!

  • Son of Anubis

    You know exactly what I’m talking about remember the dwarf god Bes??? You stole his soul he doesn’t remember anything now all of his precious memories lost you were gambling for extra hours and you defeated him and took his soul what kind of person does that? And I’m a god of truths and lies I know when someone lies and that’s what you’re doing now and if you’re the moon god then you’re already in the void!

    • ARC

      Here’s an idea! Why don’t we all calm down. Tell me “Son of Anubis” when you came to this site was it to make friends or make enemies? Just calm down. ARC is sure there is a logical explaination here.

  • Son of Anubis

    Well first of all who’s ARC? And I came to this site hoping someone could help me with my werewolf
    Problem

  • Son of Anubis

    Wait if you think you’re so great why don’t you try battling Apophis like the rest of the Egyptian gods it’s not that easy

  • Son of Anubis

    Anywhere just focus everything on Bast and basically do that weird christain thing I think it’s called preying and do something like that

  • hey guys im Rome demigod dauter of ? no ones claimed me yet

    • Zyboragon

      Hello Rome!
      I am Zyboragon, an angelic-cyborg-draconian.
      I hope I can be of service. Seth will respond as soon as possible.
      Tell us a little bit about yourself, it will make it easier to find who your the daughter of.

  • Queen Luna ( and Lycangirl07 )

    Luna: Hey Rome! I’m also a Demigod. ( I’m also a Werewolf, an Angel, a Mermaid, a Cerberus, an Unicorn/Pegasus, a Draconian, and a Witch. ) What brings you to SOS? What continent do you live in? Wow, I am never this eager to know this! Please do forgive myself for if I am bothering thy. Can thou come to the Werewolf page? Ppplllleeeeeaaaaassssseeee?
    Lycangirl07: Well hey there fellows! I’m LG07. Pleased to meet ‘cha. Luna is doin’ other stuff right ’bout now. (Luna: Hellpppp!!!!!!!!!!!!!!¡!!!!!) See ya on da Werewolf page!

  • hey zyb i love to swim (no i am not a mermonster!) love to read love nature love archery and swordfighting and capture the flag!

    • Hail Rome,

      Thanks for the update. I would have to defer to Mr. Mutt’s superior knowledge on this one. If you read back through his posts you will see the Mutt knows his mythos. As he says, there are certain WW clans who trace their heritage back to Athena or Apollo for this reason. To know for sure, I recommend some family recon here. Start by asking yourself the following questions about your parent(s):

      1. Do either of your parents carry a mysterious bag or briefcase that you have never been permitted to look inside?

      2. Do you seem to spend a lot of time with either of your parents visiting old things ie: museums, heritage sites etc.

      3. Do you travel a lot with one of your parents?

      4. Do either of your parents speak a language you don’t understand?

      This could lead you to more clues!

      Thanks for keeping on,

      Seth

  • son of ashu

    hi om new at this so HELP

  • Raven

    Ya, I’m here too.

    • Hey girl how are you? Now that your back are you ok does the world still look the same? I hear that when one passes on then returns there view on things change? :)

  • son of ashu

    ok why do the gods hate us so much

  • son of ashu

    its hard to tell if im a demigod and its hard to see monsters and stuff but i can sense them

    is there a test i should take or something

    • You can always download Seths monster meter on your phone it will tell you what you are and it’s free, maybe your powers only work sometimes because your not fully tranformed or have matured yet. It took a while for the vampire virus to transform me maybe you need more time. When your powers do work is it only around a full moon or does it just comes and goes? What type of powers do you have?

  • son of ashu

    oh yea my powers dont work all the time

    • Hail Son of Ashu,

      Thanks for checking in with your supernatural situation. The Monstrometer is not foolproof when it comes to demigods, in particular Hindu demigods like Ashu. (Graham and I are working on an expansion called the Demigod Diviner but it’s taking a while!) But you can download it here for your iOS device.

      Meanwhile it sounds to me like you definitely have some connection to the god Ashu. Have you uncovered a strange clue in your life? An unexplained object in your room or your house? A name on your birth certificate that just appeared? Unexpected increases in speed caused by an emergency situation?

      My most important advice at this point is, to find out if Ashu has/had any enemies – who and why. If you are a demigod of Ashu, you will need to be on the lookout.

      Please keep on keeping on whenever you get a chance!

      Seth

  • son of ashu

    well i have a key on a neklece , is that any thing

    • Hi I’m Vetty I have a key too mine vibrates. Your key might be why you have powers it protects you how did you get it? you might be a witch and not a demigod some witches can control the elaments and do all sorts of spells. The key might be able to unlocked your powers that you did not know you had.

      • The Doctor

        I am a key. The first living embodiment of time. But since that was taken from me I was changed into the key of time so I can still travel through time.

        • I’ve bin looking for a key can you open other dimensions as well?

          • Supreme Fire

            Time is another dimension so of course he’s not here right now but I can do what he could and more.

              • Supreme Fire

                Let me guess. A combination kitsune and cat. Am I correct? And from the picture I would assume a female gender. Well I am Supreme Fire. I am also a kitsune but with a few added bonuses. Such as dimension hopping and time traveling. Oh and by the way Inari died and gave me all her power. Just so you know. I’m just saying that if I need to call on the kitsunes you’ll feel compelled to come but you won’t have to.

                • Hi I’m Katsune I’m a warecat with alittle bit of Kitsune in me from my fathers side and yes I’m a girl. I have a special gift as well I can read the last 4 hours of someones thoughts I just need something that belongs to them. A real Kitsune my dad told me to stay away from them not sure why. How many tails do you have? Have you ever bin to dimension X ? Are you good or a bad Kitsune?

                  • Supreme Fire

                    I have been to dimension X not a fun place to be. What’s your business there? A werecat? I can deal with that.

                    • My father got transfered here I use to live in dimension X here is better dime X is to hot and too many demonds. My father is a soul collector he finds lost souls and collects them to be sent back to the light.

                  • Supreme Fire

                    I will assume you never learned how to speak to a kitsune. You don’t ask their age and asking how many tails they have is like asking their age. It’s incredibly rude and I expect an apologie instantly. And just because you did ask I have 11 tails I broke the rules. This’ll give an idea of my power. Awaiting apologie.

                    • Ok I’m sorry wow my dad was right Kitsunes are moody. Thank Mr Mutt lets go get Ofilia before it’s to late.

                    • I’m very sorry Master Supreme Fire I am in a hurry to help Mr Mutt save Ofilia. I call you Master because it’s the highest form of respect were I come from. When I get back I specialize in Uko atro massage very relaxing and invigorating for the chi body and mind. It would be an honor Master.

                  • Supreme Fire

                    Do you need me to take you to dimension X? Your rudeness will not detoure me from helping if I am needed. We aren’t moody at all I’ve just been through a lot in the last 12 hours. I really need a scratch on the back and a massage.

                  • Supreme Fire

                    Ok first of all. Technically I am a servant of you, master isn’t neccesary. Second I would be honored to except this technique of massage I have heard that it is most invigorating. I am truly sorry for my slightly miffed atitude. I should do as requested and “lay off” I request you forgiveness and I offer up my services as protector and guardian.

      • son of ashu

        i know im a demigod

    • Hail Son of Ashu,

      Belated thanks for this demigodly update. As you can see, keys on necklaces are highly suspicious items and lots of curious survivors here on the site would like to help you out with it.

      Can you tell us any more about your key What is it made out of? Is there a glyph on it anywhere? Who told you not to wear it at school?

      Thanks for keeping on,

      Seth

  • son of ashu

    my powers only seem to work when im in danger and i can use egyptian horoghis to use spells and i can use water to fight

    • Sorry it took me so long to get back to you. This key maybe helping you to unlock your powers. Some Demigods have many powers some only one. Can you control other elements like fire or the wind? Does this key have any markings on it? Was it a family heirloom or did you just find it? I agree with Seth look around and ask your family questions they may be hiding a family secret check out your birth certifacate and your family tree you never now what you’ll find.

  • son of ashu

    i cant remember but imot alowed to waer it to school

  • son of ashu

    seth we have a problem i think that all the bad guys we face are going to team up and use the leperchauns to weaken us and then send a huge invasion to finish us

    what should we do?

  • son of ashu

    my elementel powers arent good but my sword skills are amazing

  • conner/son of ashu

    I was investagating and it turns out im from Narnia or something

  • conner/son of ashu

    since im not the son of ashu my name is conner

  • conner

    but yeah im a king of narnia

    • Hail Connor former Son of Ashu,

      Thanks for keeping on. How’re things in Narnia these days? How’s the weather?

      Congrats being named king but er, FYI this could be a trick. Narnia does have a little problem with regicide!

      Also I concur with Bebe re: the four-leaf clovers. That should work. The good news is that April is on its way and they usually take advantage of the April rainbows to go stash their gold then.

      Keep on keeping on,

      Seth

  • conner

    no im sure im a king

  • conner

    it turns out im not a king

    but i am the son of Poisiden

  • conner

    my mom is the queen of the elves she is an air elf and i was born as a fire elf so i can control lighnig from my mom and water from my dad and fire from me

    • Ice

      Greeting Connor, always nice to see a new survivor. An elf eh? To be honest I thought elves were a myth, should have known better. Who’s your father?

      • Hail Ice,

        Thanks for helping out and welcoming survivors to the site. It is really awesome to know what a great community we have here on SOS that welcomes new survivors. Together we are stronger.

        I once thought elves were a myth too. Over the course of my supernatural research I have come to the conclusion that the only things that might be a myth are myths.

        Keep on keeping on being awesome.

        Seth

    • Hail conner,

      Congrats on determining your elven ancestry. What clues did you find that lead you to this revelation? I ask because I am always looking for ways to program the Monstrometer to diagnose new supernaturals and it would be great to have some first hand elven information to begin that process.

      With your control over those three elements I guess you are probably a little concerned with earth since it is the missing one of the four elements. Are you somewhat susceptible to earth attacks or a lot vulnerable? Like is it so bad that you can’t stand to listen to Rock music?

      Oh and as Ice asked, who is your dad? Or maybe the real question is “What” is your dad?

      Keep on keeping on.

      Seth

  • conner

    i can move my ears and my temp. is colder than a normal demigod or human and my dad is piosden

    p.s. seth are you a humanor a demigod or what

    • Hail Connor,

      Thanks for checking in again. That Poseidon! I think we have a few of your half-siblings on the site. Are you planning a visit to see him soon?

      As for me, I am still 99.98% human *sigh* The 0.02% remains unknown… Like I recently told my elusive friend Louis Pine, I’m still hoping for Scion of Thor but at this point I’m willing to accept almost anything.

      Seth

  • conner

    if u r my half siblings please say so because i havent seen any of sibilings yet

    • Hail Connor,

      I will try to send the other half-children of Poseidon your way. They tend to come and go. Apparently computers don’t work very well underwater…

      Say, do you happen to know where your Poppa Poseidon is hanging out these days? Somebody is always looking for him around here. You know, Poseidon actually wrote into the site a few months ago. He was pretty cool in a scary sort of way. Here’ s the link to that…

    • jane

      how do i know for sure im a demigod? i think i am but im not postive.

      • Zyboragon

        Hail jane, have you used the Monstrometer? It should give a clear reading. In the meantime, could you give us any details as to why you believe you are a demigod? “Unusual” habits are often the best way to determine what someone is, is there anything in particular that you think is unnatural?

  • conner

    ok i know that i controlled water but i think that i am the son of oceanus

  • Daughter of Iris

    Hello, Demigods of the world! I am daughter of Iris, the Goddess of the rainbow. :D

  • Daughter of Iris

    Hey, can anyone help me out? I figured out I’m a demigod about a week or two ago, and now my eyes are changing colors. First from my natural color to purple, then yellow, then blue, then red! ….

    Is there something wrong with me?

    • Avalon

      Hail Daughter of Iris; there is nothing wrong with you. Remember, you’re the daughter of the rainbow goddess so a little visible color isn’t surprising. In a sense, you have your mother’s eyes.

      • Daughter of Iris

        OK, thanks Avalon… Still a little to used to bein a ‘human’….

        • Ice

          It’s harder for those of you who were born “Human” and were raised to believe it.

        • Hail Daughter of Iris,

          Thanks for this very lovely and interesting report. This is the first I’ve heard of the Goddess Iris having descendants here on earth. Sounds pretty lucky to me.

          You might want to find a good pair of sunglasses until you figure this out. The rainbow eyes while undeniably awesome could also get you into a lot of trouble until you figure out this whole rainbow magic business. Also, you might need to watch out for the leprechauns who borrow rainbow for rides as well.

          Also have you learned anything about this whole caduceus business? Is it something you find? Or must earn? How will you learn to use it? Do you think this means you are in the herald business? Have you been approached by any other heralds? Has anyone asked you to make a delivery? Do leprechauns love you?

          Thanks for keeping on with your tale when you have time.

          Seth

  • Elena

    Does someone know how to be claimed? Because I know I am a demigod, my mother told me in her mortal form, but she won´t reveal herself. Help!!

  • Moon Song

    Has anyone ever heard of demi-gods wearing symbols of their godly parents (like a charm on a necklace?)
    Wondering because there are three brothers at my school who all wear the same necklace: a simple piece of string with Thor’s hammer for the charm.
    And I have no idea how I found this out, but they have no father, or at least one that lives with the rest of the family.
    This leads me to believe the three of them are sons of Thor.

  • jane

    how can i tell if im a demigod ive read all about demigods and i think i am one but i am not positive… help?

  • Conner

    Hi everyone i am still alive if you were questining it and i have interesting news i found my true parent this may shock some of you but it is Cronus. I am however still fighting AGIANST him.

    P.S. Seth have you ever considerd the Egytpian god Seth as your parent.

  • Conner

    Oh yes and Elena look for things that you are good at like building or statergies this can help you find your parent`s true identy.

  • jane

    plz help me seth!!! i think im a demigod but im not positive!!! how can i know if im one??? i need tour help!!! thank you seth!!!

    • P5t5r

      For what reason do you think you are a demigod? That way we can have something to start from in figuring out if you are or not.

      • jane

        well my dad left when i was young, i have ADHD, i can see spirits, i can undersand greek even though i’ve never studied it… and a few more things

        • P5t5r

          Well that narrows it down a lot. Alright your possibilities are Hades, Thanaros, and Charon. It is very unlikely that it is Charon (he is the ferryman of the river Styx and so is almost always busy ferrying people across the river). Hades is most likely because he is one of the big three and they tend to have kids with mortals. The middle/second most likely possibility is Thanatos. He works for Hades and goes out to bring people to the Underworld. There is actually one other possibility. The final possibility is Hermes. Hermes is a Psychopomp which means he helps spirits get to the Underworld.Can you tell us ashy thing more about your father or about you to help us narrow down the possibilities?

  • Conner

    I agree it has to be a death god because of tyhe spirits but i highly doubt it would be thanaros because he is a minor but it probaly is hades

  • jane

    hi! sorry i couldnt reply sooner! but i just wanted to tell u that i got claimed and yes my father is hades. thanks for the help though! :grin:

  • Daughter of Athena

    Oh my god! I will never accept another quest again. First we found a bunch of WW (Who were not happy to see us), and then we met lots of other creatures, but it will take a looong time to tell everything. Anyway, from the look of things, the gods are really angry at us. By the way, is anyone looking for a stray jackal? Because we found it on the way home. It has got a star on its forehead, and purple eyes. If its yours, please notify me. Im sure it will be very happy to go home, just please make sure its yours. I can give you more details if you want.

    • Hail Daughter of Athena,

      Thanks for stopping by on your way home from a perilous quest. Are all the gods angry? Or any one in particular we should be aware of? Does this have anything to do with your quest? A stray jackal sounds like you may have been dealing with some Egyptians? Is this the case? If so, be very wary of this Jackal – there could be an angry Egyptian god or goddess on the way. Have you alerted your local mythical pet refuge? If not, you need to locate it immediately. They will send a qualified mythical pet wrangler to pick up this jackal before it’s too late…

      Survivally Yours,

      Seth

  • Conner

    My encounter wasnt as nice. I found that all of the gods are angry and ready to kill anyone that gets in there way.

  • Time

    My name is Time I am ruler over Justine and time incarnate. Some would say I am a god (I disagree) I don’t see myself as angry or vengeful. So that can’t be true all the time.

  • Conner

    two qeustions. Whats justine and time incranate?? and who is your mytho parent?

    • Time

      Justine is supposed to be Kitsune. Time incarnate mean that I am Living time and I didn’t have parents I just began when the Bible said “In the beginning” showing my start.

  • Conner

    so you arent a child of kronos

    • Time

      I am Chronos or at least that’s what the Greeks called me. Man did they have a messed of view of me. I did not give birth to the gods at all…listen it was fun talking to you, but me and my son are leaving. You could still talk to my son if you want to he is on YouTube his name is Half Breed. Bye young Donor you enjoy your life okay?

  • Conner

    i am a son of kronos

  • Hailey

    I may be a demigod but I dunno for sure, I’ve had weather powers ever since I was born. I thought I was a mermonster at 1st but I didn’t transform. I seem to have an oddly connection to forests and nature. I keep having dreams for saving people and stopping evil from ending me. Some other things I’ve heard people say 2 me is I have Egyptian like hair and eyes. Maybe I’m a descendant of a god/goddess. I dunno 4 sure… :?: I just don’t know what to do or maybe it’s just nothing and I’m over reacting???
