Who are some of your favorites from Percy Jackson and The Heroes of Olympus?
Personally? My favorite character overall is Percy, I just love the kid, he has an amazing sense of humor, is such a nice kid and has awesome powers. My favorite new characters out of the new series are Leo and Hazel. I don't ship them or anything (Hazel/Frank FTW) I just love both of their characters.
What about you guys?

Well, i know that a LOT of people don't agree with me, but my favourite character is probably Luke. He's just so... i don't know. Interesting? His story is so sad. And it makes me laugh how like everyone has had a crush on him at some point. (Thalia, Annabeth, Juniper, Silena) I friggin love Percy though. He has some of the best lines, he is actually hilarious. I also have a huge soft spot for Nico. Children of hades are just SO LOVEABLE. He is like, wicked powerful. And he's so sarcastic in the later ones. AND he like, saves everyone by convincing Hades to help out. I also like Apollo, just because he's funny.

I agree about Luke, while I wouldn't say he's my favorite, he does interest me and I do feel bad for him about the way he grew up.
Ahg how did I forget about Nico! I love that kid, yeah he's awesome. I felt so bad for him after he lost his sister and I'm glad he ended up forgiving Percy and helping out camp halfblood. I hope nothing bad happens to him in MOA, because didn't it say he was kidnapped or something? :/

yeah, he was like 'captured by enemy forces' and it says he's somewhere in rome. Percy reckons they'll find him there. I really REALLY hope he has a happy ending. Because if he dies then like, all of the children of Hades will have died at some point, and that would be a catastrophe. What do you think of Ethan?

I didn't like how he sided with Kronos even after Percy saved him and Kronos' side was willing to let him die, but I get why he did it. And I like how he was brave in the end, they probably wouldn't have won without him.

yeah, when it came right down to it every second counted. Like, if Luke had lost control just one second earlier, then they may have never defeated Kronos. have you read the demigod files? Ethan is such an idiot in the story about Hades' sword.

No I haven't but I hope to get the demigod files at some point, I really want to read them.

Yeah it's mostly just stupid interviews with characters and stuff, but the stories are so worth it. There's one that goes a bit into how Silena and Beckendorf got together. It's really cute <3 Hey you know in the son of neptune when Percy first meets Octavian (the creep) he's all 'he reminds me of someone' was that supposed to be Luke?

I love Percy too, especially his many moments of badassery in Son of Neptune. Second as far as badassery goes is probably Nico. Thalia and Rachel were my favorite female characters in the first series, and in HOO so far I'm liking Hazel and Reyna. And I have a love-to-hate thing going with Octavian and Luke.

I kind of hate Octavian. He's crazy, delusional, and not hot at all. Whereas almost every time Percy mentions Luke he says something about how he's good looking, or someone else does. Call me shallow if you must, because it's true XD
Hey I have a very important question for y'all. In BOL The last lineof Annabeth's prophecy is 'and lose a love to worse than death' or something, and that's when Kronos takes over Luke's body. Does that mean that Annabeth actually did love Luke? Because you know when he's dying and asks Annabeth if she ever loved him, and Annabeth says no? That confuses me.

I think she did love him, but in kind of a complicated way since she hated what he'd done, but believed he could change and part of her still looked up to him, loved and respected him from all of their years as friends.

It was kind of like "ye-*remembers percy sitting there* no."

Alright, I think we've forgotten to mention how awesome Connor and Travis are! I mean for the minor characters that they are, they keep the mood uplifted. But I don't think anyone can pass Percy in my favorite characters. Just the mix of badassery, wittyness, and pure love for his friends makes him incredible.

The Fred and George of Percy Jackson is how I've always thought of them!! But yeah, it would be killer (no evil pun intended) if one of them dies. I also don't think Rachel Dare gets a lot of credit, but I think she's got her own style.
