Half God

A "Half God," also sometimes referred to as a demigod or semidivine being, is a mythological figure who is the offspring of a god or goddess and a mortal human. The term denotes a being who possesses some, but not all, of the powers and characteristics of their divine parent.

The specific powers and abilities of a Half God can vary widely depending on the mythology in question and the specific parentage of the individual. They may inherit superhuman strength, enhanced senses, immortality (though often a limited form), precognition, or control over certain elements. They often occupy a liminal space between the divine and mortal worlds.

Half Gods are frequently depicted as heroes or champions, undertaking quests and performing great deeds. Their divine heritage provides them with advantages over ordinary mortals, but they also face challenges stemming from their mixed nature, such as social isolation, conflicting loyalties, or the wrath of gods who disapprove of the union that created them. The struggles inherent in their dual existence are often central to their narratives. The role of Half Gods varies; they might serve as intermediaries between gods and humans, act as agents of divine will, or strive to overcome their limitations and forge their own destiny.
