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)

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.

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

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 underwater, they become dry. same info just different wording Faustfan 18:25, April 25, 2010 (UTC)

i will totally change that right now Courtney di Angelo 03:56, November 21, 2010 (UTC)

it was already edited Courtney di Angelo 04:31, November 21, 2010 (UTC)

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!

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 goign to be a movie in 2012

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)
