Percy Becoming a Villain?

Well, I've actually thought about that before. I actually made a fan fictional story for a class in Nineth Grade, where Nico, Percy anc Jason were all villains. It was based off the Roman demigods and a kid named Athos, who was the son of Pluto.

Although it does go differently Percy would need to adopt alot of different traits I can't see him adopting anytime soon. First of all he'd need to become Immortal for a purpose of perservation. You see, Percy turned down Immortality for love. He decided to do the same thing Annabeth did for him.

I believe that although Percy is a bit tempermental and reckless. He's also have many character traits that make him a good and deeply rooted person. You see all the things Percy has been thinking about are the exact same things Luke thought about years ago.

In the Mark of Athena, Percy was mentioned to feel sympathy and understand Luke's actions. But on the contrary I believe the development will Make Percy stronger. Because look at what Hazel said when they met Sciron. She mentioned that Sciron was different from Percy in everyway.

Either or, it is evedent that over time people change. Percy is becoming stronger and older. With age comes wisdom and understanding. Percy's never wanted to be controled by anyone, not Annabeth, not Dionysus nor his mother or the school systems. He's even turned down becoming a shadowed outcast of a god, when Zeus offered. It's because Percy is more clear-sighted than he appears. He can see when people are being forced into suffering.

He noticed what he did to Bob was wrong in The House of Hades, and now he is redeeming himself. If Percy was ever going to go bad it'd have to be intracate and complex. He'd have to achieve immortality, gain access to Olympus and destroy the gods with an army of demigods, who are more loyal and skilled than the ones Kronos picked up.

I'd say it'd take at least half a millenia. But his personal flaws are loyalty and the undying urge to protect everyone even if he'd have to do it alone. It's a foolish flaw to have as Athena said before, but it can keep the seven together as Hera mentioned. But like Mars infered all flaws are considered fatal for a reason. Percy wouldn't become a villain if it involved having to protect those closest to him. But I could see him becoming bitter like Hercules eventually.

It's a toss up. But i'd say Percy would straighten out over the years. I mean he's still maturing.
