^{Once the fastest man alive, Hermes’s body remembers what it once meant to go that fast. He is capable of withstanding great g-forces, and his stamina and lung capacity are quite impressive. He’s built for speed, and he is eternally grateful that his divinity is still present in a way such as this.}

^{Like a beast CuChulainn holds within him a fierce power that once made him famous across the lands. Though that power has diminished greatly He still is able to draw on said power whenever he is enraged. Once this happens CuChulainns body changes slightly with his muscles bulking out more, his hair growing sharper along with his face and teeth becoming more animalistic. With this great strength comes the down side of losing control much like a wild animal as well as taking quite a toll on his body when he finally calms down.}

^{In the past when Poseidon ruled the sea and shook the earth, he knew all that traveled within his domain: the sea spoke to him in ways only deities with equal control could fathom. The animals, the organisms -- he knew what they felt and could speak directly to them. From Great Whites to clown fish to the algae to the dead corals in the reefs of Australia, Poseidon could feel all their love and pain. But this is no longer the case and where in fact he cannot hear all the whispers and musings of those that he once held dear to him, Poseidon can still feel the emotions carried through waves. It is not as far reaching, but anytime he is in water, within a three mile radius, he is able to hear and feel the cries and laughter of the sea. Creatures that have murder on their mind whether out of survival or being the alpha of the sea. In turn, this turned a once greedy, vengeful god into a more empathetic one with such a connection to the oceans that it fuels his potency for love, as well.}

^{Fenrir may no longer be the imposing wolf he once was, but that does not mean he has lost all his canine attributes. He still retains the strength and agility of a wolf. His tread is near silent, which is highly useful in his line of work, but also means he has a tendency to accidentally sneak up on people (and thieves are twitchy enough all ready). Oh and he still has super sharp canines, which is alright. Basically, wolves rule, humans drool.}

^{Once able to command the great power of a storm with the flick of his wrist, Setekh is only capable of calling upon lowly tremors now. He can project his voice to be as loud as thunder, and he can create small bursts of lightning around him. It’s quite boring, and not something he does often or is very proud of. It comes in handy occasionally though.}

^{The Mighty Zeus has lost much of his divine might over the years. Once the greatest hero who ever lived, Zeus’s power has faded to pathetic levels; though it is easy for him to keep his body in the ideal shape, he can no longer wield his lightning bolt like he once could. In the glory days, Zeus’s lightning bolt was the most destructive force in all the realms. But now? Now, he send enough electricity through the air to turn the TV on. He doesn’t like to talk about it. One thing that has remained from when he was a god, though whether it is a divine skill or not is up to the purveyor, Zeus is possibly the greatest lover to ever exist. Well, the greatest male one, anyway.}

^{Every winner of an award be it athletics, music, entertainment, competition, whatever it may be always tends to thank a similar circle of people. Parents. Friends. God. In the days long gone the 'God' in question was Nike and for very good reason. Nike, once upon a time, could inspire the greatest among us, mortal or god, to do feats thought impossible by mortal standards or impressive even for gods. She also used to be able to soar across the heavens on gilded wings at speeds that would make even Hermes jealous and use those wings as a shield against all manner of physical harm but alas, those wings have been long since clipped. Those who prayed to Nike - or those who fought alongside her in manners of conflict - would find themselves able to push a little more, hit a little harder, run a little faster, and in damn near every instance be able to claim victory thanks to her influence. Like a second wind or a burst of adrenaline, Nike was once able to guide even the lowliest of mortals to that feeling of great, great victory. Now, in ages gone, Nike can't claim to bring about absolute victory in others, though she can still encourage and inspire better than damn near anyone. Those who she inspires, even now, find themselves able to push themselves with a little bit more effort and stamina. Sometimes it's just enough to eke out a victory, other times it's just enough to not be utterly defeated. Nike can be incredibly motivating, to mortal and fellow gods alike. Everyone needs a cheerleader, right?}

<sup>In the legends Cliodhna was many things. Her soothing songs could cure the ill, while her wailing heralded death and her shrieks could make the hearts of mortals shrivel. When she fell, her powers diminished but did not vanish completely. Her voice still carries weight when she chooses to.

Her songs can still inspire a range of emotions should one allow it. Her soothing words can ease the burden of the heart and mind. While her loud tunes can draw out energy someone didn’t know they had at the moment. Finally, if you are not careful her dark words could inspire a sense of dread.

However, these emotions – while imbued supernaturally – are not themselves supernatural. They can be resisted should one be mindful of them. Furthermore, Clio can only go as far as inspiring an emotion. A naturally cheery person might not resonate with Clio’s dark tones and not suffer any of the effects.</sup>

^{Benzaiten has control over the flow of all things - once upon a time, this meant a whole lot more. Today? Without effort, she can sort of unclog a pipe. It’s kind of belittling. At least she can still envision the flow. To put it quite simply, Benzaiten sees the world as one big Rube goldberg machine that isn’t quite performing to its maximum potential, and with a bit of effort, she can help it flow a little more cleanly.}

^{Once the Morrigan had a wealth of powers. Shapeshifter, war-fury, prophetess. She was birth, life and death. Now a tripartite goddess no more, only remnants of Badb remained after the fall, Morrigu and Macha seemingly lost to her forever. By touching a person, be it mortal or god, or an item that is or was very precious to them, can Morrigan gain a glimpse into their future. No longer does she see the full truth but fragments of it, like shreds of a torn up pictures, the rest scattered to the winds. These give her hints as to what the persons future holds and it is up to the goddess what she decides to do with this information.}

^{As both a God of the Dead and a guider of souls, Anubis has always had the best interest of those around him. Typically and especially during the height of his divinity, Anubis would be able to tell when a person's heart wasn't balanced by counting everything that soul has done in their time alive and count the many sins and virtues and react accordingly. Nowadays, though he is still a guider of souls, still has the best interest for every individual he encounters, he cannot tell their many sins or what weighs them down so much. What he can do is emit an aura into the air, like an almost invisible purple smoke-like substance that flows and disintegrates into dust in the six feet circumference around him. Whoever is hit, should they choose to because this is all about the free will, they would feel a sense of easiness consume them to the point where Anubis would hear whatever ails them and do his best, as the Guider of Souls, to help them in whatever way he can.}

^{Once the winged god had a bow and two sets of arrows. Gold to kindle love in the heart they wounded and the other heavy with lead to create an aversion & hate. He could inspire desire or loathing in any who he targeted, and often he would shoot with his eyes closed, so that fate would instead choose who was hit. But these were lost to him during the fall. Still can he inspire lust and love in mortals and gods alike, but now he must harm himself to be able to produce these feelings in others. A fleeting moment of lust may require only a few drops of blood, whereas an eternal, true love, well Eros has only tried this but once and the harm he must cause himself is immense, taking much time & energy to recover from. So much so that it is not something he would dare to try, unless he had a true reason to.}

^{When Uzume is at her happiest, she will emit a faint but remarkable glow around her. Only deities can see it, but what it is is an aura that is reminiscent of a sunrise, and what it does is, in essence, make people feel good. It stabilizes any negative mood, thoughts, and feelings one might be having, and sends them on a sort of high (like an acid trip meets a weed high). It can only be initiated on touch and the other person must have some kind of personal relationship with Uzume (could be friend, lover, person she enjoys spending time with), but for ten minutes of constant touch, they will feel the best they ever have in their entire existence. Naturally aggressive gods will be highly resistant to it unless Uzu focuses!}

^{Psyche power has always been more influential than outright power, probably a reflection of her mortal roots. In the past, she guided people in the ways of science, arts, language, and literature as she worked to broaden their minds and for-fill their souls. Now, she has only been left with the power to learn and gift any language by kissing another.}

<sup>Váli once was the personification of vengeance. His entire existence came around out of a visceral need for vengeance, and even in his weakened state this hasn’t fully faded. All around him, people yearn for vengeance; anything from a jilted lover to someone who was abused, to someone who was simply looked over for a promotion. For better or worse, Váli draws their anger, hatred, and desire for vengeance into himself. It weighs on him heavily, and depending on the person’s reason for wanting vengeance, it can drive him to find the cause and ‘put an end to it,’ so to speak.

If Váli finds someone whose desire for vengeance is strong enough, and he talks to them and learns about the cause, he is able to easily track the perpetrator. Upon finding them, Váli can make them feel the pain they caused to their victim.</sup>

^{Once the prince of the sea and a merman to boot, Triton lived his entire life underwater, dwelling with his parents Poseidon and Amphitrite in a golden palace at the bottom of the sea. Rarely did he leave the peaceful realm under the waves and the land was but a foreign entity to him. He could swim underwater at amazing speeds and speak to all manner of marine animals. Now he is no longer a merman and his powers have been severely diminished. He has been left with the ability to hold his breath, and subsequently breathe underwater, for an immense amount of time. Typically he reaches his limit at around an hour.}

^{There are few things constant on this Earth, and the sea is one of them. Susano'o can bend the sea and its resulting storms to her own will, channeling the deceptively destructive nature as she wishes to. However, contrary to popular belief, the scope of her powers are not limited to just the sea, but also smaller bodies of water such as lakes. However, her powers are not as strong when channeling the power of a lake compared to the vast sea.}
