biological. Poseidon didn't really do much when it came to raising Percy. Percy and me are demigods.

[ And you think his gods are weird? ]

Unless your gods are actually the same species as your other biological parent, reproduction should not be possible.

[refantasma]

[Yes.]

there's no biology to it really. its magic. gods dont have blood they have ichor.

[encoreinthedeep]

[ Look his gods are perfectly normal... giant self-replicating plant-fish-hybrid hivemind things?.. And creatures like (checks hand) a living mountain and a giant whale skeleton that swims through time. Normal things. ]

Magic is merely that which has not yet been explained by science.

Blood is not directly relevant to reproduction.

[ Is this what they call "having The Talk". ]

[refantasma]

I can command the dead, how's that science?

[encoreinthedeep]

You should be asking the scientists of your world.

[refantasma]

Science is also fueled by belief.

[encoreinthedeep]

Indeed. The belief that the world can be understood.
