And the fact that his pre-algebra teacher turned into a Fury, an ancient Greek monster. After escaping from her (and gaining Anaklusmos), Percy and his mother spent a weekend in a cabin on the beach where she met Poseidon - until they were attacked by a minotaur. Grover showed up, revealed himself to be a satyr, and tried to help Percy and his mother escape. His mother was about to be strangled by the monster, but turned into a shower of golden light. Injured, Percy and Grover managed to reach Camp Half-Blood, where demigods like Percy are trained and taught how to survive. “Mr. Brunner” showed up there, as well, revealing himself to be Chiron, the famous centaur. The camp is run by “Mr. D”, a.k.a. Dionysus (who's in banishment from Olympus and wine for a year for chasing after a wood nymph who was “off limits”). Among the campers he met there was Luke, a son of Hermes. At camp, he was claimed by Poseidon (basically it was revealed that he was Poseidon's son ( ... )

Around winter break that year, Percy received an urgent distress call from Grover to help him rescue two half-bloods at a military academy where the vice principal was actually a monster (the Manticore). Percy, Thalia, and Annabeth went to the school, and almost managed to get the half-blood siblings out before Percy attacked the vice principal. The group was about to die, but the goddess Artemis and her Hunters came to the rescue. Annabeth fell off of a cliff, and Percy thought she was dead. Bianca, the older sister of the sibling pair, swore herself to Artemis to become one of her Hunters. Artemis sent the group to camp while she went to hunt an evil monster of old ( ... )

At the freshman orientation at his new high school, Percy ran into the girl he had met at the Hoover Dam. Of course, monsters attacked, and he ran into Annabeth, whom he was supposed to meet up with later. Percy and Annabeth went to camp, where Grover was having a hearing with the Council of Cloven Elders, who said that his searcher's license should be revoked for finding no evidence of Pan after he claimed to hear the god. There was a new swordsman trainer named Quintus at camp ( ... )

Percy goes off to celebrate his birthday with his mom. Poseidon shows up to tell him that Kronos isn't quite dead yet. After that, Nico shows up and tells him that he has important information for him.

... And promptly gets distracted by blue birthday cake.

Soon after that, Percy is about to turn sixteen. Being a teenager, he does teenager things. ... In this case, try to impress a girl with his stepdad's Prius. Unfortunately for him (and fortunately for the target audience's gross-out reflex, most likely) he gets interrupted by another half-blood and a pegasus crashing his date and pretty much dragging him off to start fighting.

Operation Blow Up Luke's Ship doesn't go so well, and Percy ends up drifting under the sea cue Little Mermaid music and meeting up with Poseidon and Tyson. He wants to help stay and fight since his dad looks like he's pretty much getting fucked over, but he basically gets told "gtfo son, you've got other battles to fight ( ... )

[ Personality ] :
Percy is smart, but easily distracted and hyperactive. He cares deeply about his friends, and will fight even the gods themselves to protect them or avenge a wrong. PERCY FIGHTS FOR HIS FRIENDS. He has a strong sense of justice and opposes evil wherever it stands. He can be fairly witty (for a sixteen-year-old boy), cracking the occasional joke. He's a little bit of a loner, since he's been kicked out of every school he's been in. He doesn't really know his father very well, as Poseidon is a busy god. He doesn't always think his battles through, but they tend to turn out all right in the end. He doesn't always think properly when there's a girl involved, though, and has very little idea of how girls think. Overall, though, Percy has a good heart and tries to do the right thing... it's just that he doesn't always approach it the right way.

[ Strengths/Weaknesses ] :

Strengths:Percy, being a son of Poseidon, has immense control over water. He can manipulate it to his will, whether it be a tiny sprinkle or a huge ( ... )

Weaknesses:Percy's short attention span and shorter temper get him in trouble fairly often. He often jumps at the chance to prove himself, which sometimes lands him into battles he can't win. His ADHD makes it so he can't sit still, and his dyslexia gives him a lot of trouble with reading English. Anything not written in a fairly plain font in a dark color (if on a light background) or a light color (on a dark background) is a pain to decode - such as a neon sign in curly writing. His powers don't work as effectively in fresh water as in salt water, and it's also very draining on his mental and physical reserves. His sword, Anaklusmos, is made of celestial bronze... which means it's useless if he tries to harm mortals (it just passes right through them). He has a terrible fear of heights - reasonable, since Poseidon's biggest rival is Zeus, lord of the sky, and Zeus isn't fond of Poseidon's children. He can sometimes be too protective of people, sometimes going to absolutely insane lengths to help them ( ... )

While your overall application was good, the personality section could have been expanded more on. The characterization provided so far is correct, but we would like to see a bit more analysis and development in that section.

Respond to this comment with your revisions and we'll look at it as soon as possible!
