Talk:Percy Jackson

titan curse
Percy is not assigned to go on a quest in the titans curse, he just follwed them so someone should change it.--Beatles777 00:22, November 25, 2009 (UTC) Prophecy wasnt right in the book. never said a thing about a member getting poisoned-charle$beckendorf

I wrote the next bit, sorry if it wasn't that good-Inkweaver

Yes, it's fine. Thanks for the contributions. I hadn't gotten around to editing that page yet, and the entire thing was by Heradite, the old admin here.

It isn't possible to act cogitated. I changed it to agitated but it still doesn't make sense in the context. Shouldn't Grover be acting casually to throw Percy off the trail? Anyone read the book recently and can help? Laurelsblue

Should we include a picture of him from the movie trailer? One that strikes this Wiki without mercy ~ Navyblack15 ~ Lightning Editor 20:32, 8 August 2009 (UTC)

But Percy IS the fifth quest member, as Zoe Nightshade said.

Doesn't Percy go on the quest in every book? Including the Last Olympian because he had to make the Great Prophecy happen?SayuriDarling 22:32, January 1, 2010 (UTC)

I finished reading it a couple weeks ago and remember Zoe's prophecy? How it said that five people would go but then the stoll brothers poisened one of her huntresses t-shirts with centetaur blood and said she wouldn't risk taking another huntress and she wouldn't take Percy because he's a boy and she didn't like that so she didn't take him but he went anyway.

zoe picked grover over percy because he wasn`t a boy hero so percy got mad and snuck out to save annabeth and help on the quest. but i wonder why doesn `t get in trouble even know they saved annabeth and artemis then in the sea of monsters he sneeks out agian with annabeth and tyson but did he get in trouble.....NO! even though he`s a big hero it`s only fair. oh wellApollo114 (talk &bull; contribs) 12:08, January 10, 2011 (UTC)apollo114

Question
Why is the special abilities bit all begin with Perseus instead of Percy?--Inferuno Ryuu 16:52, March 22, 2010 (UTC)


 * Percy's actual first name is Perseus. His mom named him that hoping he'd in herit some of Perseus' luck--Perseus always won and was one of the few heroes who didn't die tragically. --Genowhirl 04:09, March 23, 2010 (UTC)


 * ::I know that. Why did someone use it when tehy could just use Percy?--Inferuno Ryuu 16:04, March 23, 2010 (UTC)
 * Perhaps it just gives people a more heroic feeling? I like Perseus over Percy too.. but Percy is fine its shorter anyway TerraBranford145322 (talk &bull; contribs) 13:42, August 1, 2010 (UTC)
 * name has power so his mother gave him a fake him
 * I wonder if there was a son of poseidon that was a hero and didn't died tragically
 * yeah i know they should call him pereus oh well.

History
The history section seems to cover the books, when there is already another section for it. Supernado 15:29, April 21, 2010 (UTC)

We have to choose which one is better, I haven't read either of them but the first is a better size. ~ Lugnuts250 23:01, April 23, 2010 (UTC)

I think we should keep the first one. A repeat on information anyways. Should I go do it? SayuriDarling 17:28, June 22, 2010 (UTC)

I don't think it should be under History though, it could be moved to its own section Supernado 17:31, June 22, 2010 (UTC)

What should we call it then? Appearances? SayuriDarling 17:33, June 22, 2010 (UTC)

Or "In Percy Jackson and the Olympians" Supernado 14:55, June 23, 2010 (UTC)

Why is the summary so broken up? Can it not be condensed a little? I mean at the beginning of the article it lists all the things he does in the books, but does it have to be listed under the title of each book? Or why does it have to be listed twice? Its too choppy. I think to make it more fluid the headers for each summary of his life should be deleted and written more like: In the lightning thief he did such and such..... next paragraph in the sea of monsters he fought a monster... (note: between the colon and the start of the brackets you would put his real history, i just wanted to make an example.)

and please delete the complete the summary of the books. the books own pages do that well enough.216.209.122.77 23:03, July 6, 2010 (UTC)

Okay, I'll do that then since we've had this debate for a couple of months. SayuriDarling 01:25, July 7, 2010 (UTC)

can someone redo the power part
there is somepowers listed two times like When Percy is in water, he and objects he touches stay dry unless he wills them not to be. and When Percy is underwater, he stays dry unless he consciously forces himself to become wet. When Percy touches objects

Useless/Not enough info
At the end of the article when describing the books there is too much useless info not pertaining to Percy at all. And in the beginning when describing him there is very little info at all. The info for the books should be merged into his bio and the rest deleted.Lafon (talk &bull; contribs) 17:27, July 13, 2010 (UTC)

Which is why there is a "Long Section" on it. We've been trying to find someone who is willing to shorten it. SayuriDarling (talk &bull; contribs) 17:31, July 13, 2010 (UTC)

All right I'll try to get it done. Lafon (talk &bull; contribs) 17:46, July 13, 2010 (UTC)

I know i said in the above post that i would try to edit the article but my internet connection sucks and i keep getting kicked off so im not going to be able to fix it.18:20, July 13, 2010 (UTC)

Nicknames
Why are all the things he is called in all the books portrayed as nicknames? Prissy is NOT a nickname! It is simply an insult. Really all that should be there is "seaweed brain" because it is used all the time.by Annabeth and perhaps "Boss". The other title (Lord) should be in the description of his contact with horses and the other stuff should be described in his interactions with the people who say it.Lafon (talk &bull; contribs) 17:21, July 13, 2010 (UTC)

I think Seaweed Brain and all the names that Mr. D calls him should be in there because he only really says Percy's real name three times in the whole entire series. I do see what your saying though. SayuriDarling (talk &bull; contribs)
 * Yeah, I think we can get rid of the insults at least.  Avatar Talk 17:30, July 13, 2010 (UTC)
 * But even the names Mr. D calls him are not consistent so they can't really be considered nicknames.Lafon (talk &bull; contribs) 17:32, July 13, 2010 (UTC)
 * In general his most used name is "Pedro" for Percy. It really just depends how you look on it. I think of it as a nickname.. I took of Priss and Young Man. Mr. Dare only appears once anyways. SayuriDarling (talk &bull; contribs) 17:34, July 13, 2010 (UTC)
 * All right fair enough but maybe just put one of the most used names by Dionysus and put the rest under his relation to Mr. D. I think that works the best (and uses the least space)Lafon (talk &bull; contribs) 17:42, July 13, 2010 (UTC)
 * NOTE: He calls him Peter Johnson mostly. He only says the others once. Supernado (talk &bull; contribs) 17:57, July 13, 2010 (UTC)
 * Your right. My bad. He says Peter the most. SayuriDarling (talk &bull; contribs) 18:03, July 13, 2010 (UTC)

P.S. Thalia calls him Seaweed Brain once and that was to mock/tick him off.

All right! The nickname box looks perfect now. :-) Lafon (talk &bull; contribs) 18:10, July 13, 2010 (UTC)

Why are all the nickname boxes of the other characters gone now? I just recently noticed.. :( Redwall64 (talk &bull; contribs) 10:35, October 21, 2010 (UTC)

Relationship with gods and titans
I propose we remove this section, as no other page on the wiki has a similar section. The only reason it's there is because this page was copied from wikipedia. Supernado (talk &bull; contribs) 14:29, August 29, 2010 (UTC)

I agree. SayuriDarling (talk &bull; contribs) 16:24, August 29, 2010 (UTC)
 * I concur. Let's get rid of it.  Avatar  ( Talk ) 16:26, August 29, 2010 (UTC)
 * Actually, rather than completely getting rid of it, I juts renamed it. I think we can get rid of it, but we don't have to. Percy is the main character, so I'm guessing it's okay to show his relationship with his immortal family.  Avatar  ( Talk ) 16:57, August 29, 2010 (UTC)

Someone removed the character info box thing for Percy.
How can we get it back?

Percy's Age
Um, kick me if I'm being a doofus, but I was under the impression that The Lost Hero is set only a few months after The Last Olympian. In which case, isn't Percy still 16? He's listed as being 17 in his stats... Could someone clear this up for me? :Percy is still 16. I think Mr. Riordan said he based the new series only three months after the second Titan war so readers wouldn't be confused or something like that. It's the same year though, only it's only like, December, not August. 22:48, December 16, 2010 (UTC) ::Awesome, I'm not going crazy then. Thank you very much!

I have a doubt on age and lifespan of Percy like a Demigod and demigods in general...Can someone clarify this curiosity? Can a demigod live more of a normal human being (a normal mortal)? For example for centuries or for ever? I didn't understand very well if a demigod have a lifespan of a normal mortal, if he/she can live for centuries or for ever, but he can be killed while the immortals can't be killed, or the immortals simply can live for ever, while a demigod has a limited life (if yes, how long?)...I'm sorry, but I have this doubt from some time now...March 4, 2011 Leviii (talk)

I'm pretty sure that demigods don't live longer than the average person, even if they manage not to get killed by monsters. Well, now that I think about it, they might be able to live longer than an average person if one of the gods makes them immortal or turns them into something else, like a tree. I'm only guessing that that's what would happen because when Zeus turned Thalia into a pine tree, she didn't age at all, so she'll live longer if monsters don't kill her, simply because she didn't age when she was a pine tree. Did that make any sense? i hope it did, because I can't think of another way to word it!

New movie?
It is happening in 2012. i am pretty sure the Sea of Monsters is going to be held in 2012. We are not sure though if Logan Lerman is still playing the role of Percy Jackson, but he is hoping to play all the roles of all the books in the Percy Jackson series. Don't worry, there is going to be a movie in 2012

I sure do hope that there will be a movie of the sea of monsters this coming 2012.A lot of fans are expecting of it.

abilities
somebody said he has telepathic connection with othe posiedon kids. I will undo this as there can be no proof if he is the only child of posiedon.Zetelax (talk &bull; contribs) 06:45, December 21, 2010 (UTC)

What about Tyson? Supernado (talk &bull; contribs) 12:13, December 21, 2010 (UTC)


 * Yeah. I read in The Sea of Monsters that when Percy and Tyson were underwater, Tyson heard what Percy was thinking, and Percy could do the same. It was in Chapter 16 - I go down with the Ship. Percy mentions that he could hear Nereids too. From the other books, he can telepathically communicate with aquatic animals like fish etc. 22:36, December 21, 2010 (UTC)
 * ofr course,Percy is indeed the son of posiedon.....

EPILOGUE

Anyone think there should be an epilogue at the end of the lost hero series? you should right to riordan- Charle$Beckendorf

And of all the people to edit this article is PerseusJackson. Coincidence, right? ;)

Demigod Files
Do you think someoen should add the quests of the demigod files, as well as a summary of those quests (like what we have for the other books) here? I would do it, but I dont have the book right now...&quot;Beware the Jabberwokk my son; The jaws that bite, the claws that scratch.&quot; (talk &bull; contribs) 02:21, March 13, 2011 (UTC)

Son of Neptune
While I am pretty surePercy is the character, where is the source that Riordan confirmed Percy is the Son of Neptune ? &quot;Beware the Jabberwokk my son; The jaws that bite, the claws that scratch.&quot; (talk &bull; contribs) 22:59, March 26, 2011 (UTC)

No where. It's just over excited fans assuming. You can take that down. SayuriDarling (talk &bull; contribs) 04:14, March 27, 2011 (UTC)

On Rick's website he wrote: "Who are the other four mentioned in the prophesy? The answer may lie in another camp miles away, where a new camper has shown up and appears to be the son of Neptune, god of the sea. . . " The fact that it's a new camper, not a current occupant, and one that has just shown up, makes it seem lke it is definitely Percy.Website :http://rickriordan.com/my-books/percy-jackson/heroes-of-olympus/thesonofneptune.aspx Artemisgirl (talk &bull; contribs) 17:03, March 27, 2011 (UTC)

But he never states a name. Yes, it is most likely Percy, but just because it is a new camper that just so happens to be a son of Neptune, the roman form of Poseidon, it could still be someone else as that statement by Rick kind of sounds a little to direct. there could be a twist somewhere. He also says the answer may lie in another camp, not the answr does lie. plus, lie means not to tell the truth so it could be a weird double meaning. Darkcloud1111 ~Fastest Hero Alive  17:05, March 27, 2011 (UTC)

I think he meant lie as in sit, not as in to not tell the truth. Also, it says appears to be the son of Neptune. Maybe it is unclear because he won't be claimed there, because he was already claimed, just like everyone was unsure about Jason's godly parent when he turned up.

I guess we'll just have wait for the book!! Only 198 days!!! Artemisgirl (talk &bull; contribs) 17:18, March 27, 2011 (UTC)

true. far too many days :( &quot;Beware the Jabberwokk my son; The jaws that bite, the claws that scratch.&quot; (talk &bull; contribs) 17:28, March 27, 2011 (UTC)

Ideally, it would have come out at the beginning of the summer. Then, I could just spend the 6 weeks reading, and rereading it!!!!Artemisgirl (talk &bull; contribs) 17:33, March 27, 2011 (UTC)

Dip in the styx
k so percy took a bath in the river styx in the Last Olympian right? does he still have the powers of Achilles or did it ware off. It seems like a huge burden to be good in battle and then be tired all the time and go into battle mode whenever you fight. Then theres that part on his back that if he gets hit to hard, even by accident, it could kill him. srry i just couldnt wait til the Son of Neptune comes out. -Silversatyr April 22, 2011

Implications are that it cannot go away. &quot;Beware the Jabberwokk my son; The jaws that bite, the claws that scratch.&quot; (talk &bull; contribs) 02:27, April 23, 2011 (UTC)

After Percy caried June (Juno/Hera) she took away his Achilles Mark.

Percy's possible sibling?
Alright we all want to rabidly guess that Percy is the son of Neptune lets think about this.

-Nico has Bianca

-Thalia has Jason

and some would argue that percy has Tyson

but the above are complete siblings and Percy and Tyson are half-brothers

______________________________________________________________________________________________

but theres also a counter argument that percy has no more siblings considering what jason said

"Exactly," Jason agreed. "Percy Jackson is at the other camp, and he probably doesn't even remember who he is."

now some would argue that Jason just confirmed the son of neptune right there, or that even if he isn't he is still the "leader" of camp half-blood and therefore the leader of the Roman camp just as Jason is

any thoughts?

It is possible that Percy has a Roman sibling, but unlikely. Darkcloud1111 ~Fastest Hero Alive  20:21, April 29, 2011 (UTC)

If the pact is for the roman gods aswell, they are probably more likely to stick to it. Then again, Jason was born after the pact, and maybe Thalia too?? Artemisgirl (talk &bull; contribs) 11:24, May 1, 2011 (UTC)

Personalty change...?
Does anyone think percy could go through a possible percy-nality change (I am a terrible person)

due to his greek personality being taught with a roman influence in the Roman camp half-blood

like maybe becoming stricter or not as sarcastic or maybe even develope an edge

before he finds out that he is greek and how do you think he'll react when he finds out

Protogenoi Chaos (talk &bull; contribs) 04:29, July 27, 2011 (UTC)Chaos

I don't at, or at least I hope he doesn't

I Doubt it, considering that the events of the PJO series were told from his perspective later in life. I doubt he wrote 5 novels in 3 months between TLO and TLH. ~AConcerned&NitpickyFan

Profile Picture Change
Can we possibly can it to the cover of The Son of Neptune? This one just makes him look stupid. 68.53.248.209

While that may be Percy on the cover for the new book, we have official artwork for this character already so using a book cover would be kind of silly. Darkcloud1111 ~Fastest Hero Alive  03:18, October 1, 2011 (UTC)

Quote Change?
I thought maybe we could change the quote to something from the SoN, since he had several. User:PJDMAY14 "Trust is something gained, never earned." 20:03, October 6, 2011 (UTC)
