He needs a new quote. Isn't there one quote where Hazel is describing Percy being super awesome and stuff? SayuriDarling  ~ “But a mermaid has no tears, and therefore she suffers so much more.”  07:01, June 30, 2013 (UTC)

I cannot remember the quote mars told frabk about percy's fatal flaw. can someone remember? Bardaleif (talk &bull; contribs) 23:14, July 10, 2013 (UTC) bardaleif

"Maybe. Maybe so. But every hero has a fatal flaw. Percy Jackson? He’s too loyal to his friends. He can’t give them up, not for anything. He was told that, years ago. And someday soon, he’s going to face a sacrifice he can’t make. Without you, Frank—without your sense of duty—he’s going to fail. The whole war will go sideways, and Gaea will destroy our world."

Factual correction
Would Percy really be considered the former praetor of the Twelfth Legion? Jason never really came to regain the position and we have no knowledge on the matter of Reyna holding elections for yet another praetor. I believe he still would be considered the Praetor.

 * Percy was elected to the position of Praetor in The Son of Neptune. In The Mark of Athena, Jason returned and Percy was willing to give up the position to him, but they never have that conversation. However, by entering the Mediterranean Sea, they are considered traitors to Camp Jupiter, so Percy's rank would have been stripped.

Appearance
His hair no longer holds the gray streak in it as said by Annabeth in the Mark of Athena. Someone needs to change it

 * It says that he has a grey streak in The Titan's Curse from holding up the sky. The very next line explains that by The Mark of Athena, he no longer has it as he outgrew it. Darkcloud1111  umbreon1111.gif God of Dark Clouds  22:55, July 10, 2013 (UTC)

Movie Infos
Since I'm not sure, I'm going to ask first, is this wiki only for the books or also for the movies? If no, then ignore and delete this post.

We have pages for the movies, but none for it's characters or events. There are huge difference between the two. So I really think movie infos should be added to character pages. Since the wiki seems to be implementing a tab system, it can be easily done, a tab for the books and another for the movies.

 * We pretty much do both. We have full plot details for the movie pages (including how they are different from the books) and we have pages for characters introduced only in the movies or video games. As far as a character introduced in both the movies and books, we tend to have a Film section for the character, explaining any important details that isn't covered by the rest of the page. For example, book and movie characters tend to have similar powers and personality, so that kind of information isn't really needed in the film section (unless the two are vastly different, like in the case of Grover). It really comes down to adding what the character in the movie did different from the book. It also comes down to the fact that most users try and shy away from the movies as the only one released so far has been...pretty bad, resulting in smaller movie-character sections. As far as the Percy film section goes, he has an unusually small section compared to characters like Annabeth or Grover, who have larger film sections. I guess no one really wants to update it is all. Darkcloud1111  umbreon1111.gif God of Dark Clouds  15:45, August 4, 2013 (UTC)

Percy
I might be wrong, but how do we know how tall Percy is? I mean sure, plenty of teenage guys are 6 ft, but do we know for sure?Hephaestus2014 (talk &bull; contribs) 21:30, August 20, 2013 (UTC)Team Leo!
 * Normally there is information supplied by The Ultimate Guide or other sources. Sometimes if a character is said to be a certain height and another character is said to be an inch or two shorter, we can get height from that, but Percy's I think came from the guide.

 * The information came from the official UK Percy Jackson website.  SayuriDarling  ~ "What you must understand about me is that I’m a deeply unhappy person."  04:18, August 21, 2013 (UTC)

Percy shares many similarities with J. K Rowling's Harry Potter: They share physical attributes (black hair and distinctive green eyes). They are both subjects of a dangerous prophecy, both have arch enemies bent on destroying the world (Lord Voldemort) Harry and (Kronos) Percy. Both are the leaders of a group of three (Harry, Ron and Hermione) and (Percy, Grover and Annabeth).PJ+HP (talk &bull; contribs) 03:21, September 8, 2013 (UTC)

Just thought I'd mention because no one seems to notice it. I mean Percy is like the American version of Harry Potter even if he is a greek demigod and I haven't seen one post so far.
 * It isn't that we don't notice, but it is more that we try to disassociate ourselves with that series. A lot of people see the PJ series as a cheap HP knock off, so we try not to point out the similarities. Darkcloud1111  umbreon1111.gif Fastest Hero Alive  05:40, September 8, 2013 (UTC)
 * I still don't understand the comparison. I mean, if people are basing it on the fact that there's a trio, or that there's a powerful enemy, then you can basically compare millions of other books to it as well. Albus   Chase  11:46, September 8, 2013 (UTC)


 * I agree with Albus.
 * 1. Since when black hair-green eyes became property of J.K. Rowling anyway?
 * 2.Subjects of a dangerous prophecy. Yeah. The most fantasy series have a kind of prophecy. And, not that I don't love the HP series, but  PJO/HoO is about the demigod world, did you expected no prophecy? That doesn't sound like a similarity.
 * 3. Enemies bent on destroying the world. Fantasy literature is full of them.
 * 4.Group of three. Seriously? So, number three is  property of Rowling, too? What about Ben 10:Alien Force (Ben, Gwen and Kevin), The Dork Diaries (Nikki, Chloe, Zoe), The Hunger Games (Katniss, Peeta, Gale), The Mortal Instruments (Clary, Simon, Jace), The Spiderwick Chroncles (Simon, Jared, Mallory) and a ton of other trios? PJO/HoO isn't the only group-three series. Three is just a popular number. Someone comes to your world suddenly your world has changed for ever.  08:43, September 9, 2013 (UTC)

Is the Argo II really considered a home...? SayuriDarling  ~ “I felt that I breathed an atmosphere of sorrow.”  03:24, September 24, 2013 (UTC)

Birthday
Isn't Percy born on August 18th 1992? He turns 13 in 2005 and you do the math....... 1992. He is 12 during the Lightning Thief but than a couple of months later later he turns 13. Am I right?VeryHappyUnBirthday (talk &bull; contribs) 22:11, November 18, 2013 (UTC)VeryHappyUnBirthday
