automatic category suggestion for supernatural nature: 70 out of 50

Demigods are beings that are created from the mating of a deity with a mortal, or in some cases, a demon and a mortal. The deific parent of such a being is generally a greater God like Zeus or Oðin.

edited to be a suggestion for a species category, which is what this sounds like

Ser Baltis Feskorsson

Thanks for the clarification! I am still getting used to all this.

Korra

We do have a supernatural nature of Deity.

Ser Baltis Feskorsson

Deity isn't the same. It implies a level of power that I and others don't really want to play, or play off of. If you look at Herakles, that story epitomizes what it is to be close to immortal... but not quite. A deity cannot be killed. A demigod can. They are usually epic heroes, but they can still be challenged and defeated. With actually roleplaying a god, not so much.

Korra

Would it make sense for this to also be a supernatural nature, where e.g. Herakles would pick Species of Human, Supernatural Nature of Demigod?

Ser Baltis Feskorsson

I could go for either way, as long as it was one of the choices in there somewhere. :-)

Desdemona Fireheart

A deity cannot be killed. A demigod can.

Ever heard of Ragnarök? ;)

Ser Baltis Feskorsson

Sure have. The Norse pantheon is interesting in that they can die, but they are an exception to the rule, as was Osiris. Most deific beings, if they die, are resurrected in some fashion. The dying and rising deity is archetypal. It's even reflected in the Ragnarök story in that Baldr rises from Helheim to assume his position as ruler of the world that emerges from the ashes of the Twilight of the Gods. I love that you even know how to use that diacritic! Most people don't.

Desdemona Fireheart

Oh, I can even write Götterdämmerung. Well, the spell-check demanded an ö, I'd have tried Ragnarok for the English version. Or Ragnarøk for the nørdic look.

I am suitably impressed!

I'm opening this up for review as a Supernatural Nature. This won't get automatically endorsed just yet, but it can gather endorsement points.
