I seriously don't get why the Hades is RR holding back Nico.

Nico's assets: Cool, mysterious look, check. Inspires fear, check. Sharp and updated guy, check. Awesome death god powers, check.

So, my point is, Nico looks bad*** and powerful, but that just stops over there. Inside, he doesn't have much personality, just like Jason. Okay, he was orphaned, has an apathetic God of the Dead for a dad, spent a vacation in Tartarus and is not much appreciated by the living. You think that should cut him some slack, but come on, he should stop staying in that stereotype. He should get out, do some stuff proactively and prove people that being a Son of Hades is not a bad thing after all. Instead, he's not getting much of a character change, not since the BotL.
