* YouWouldntLikeMeWhenImAngry: He's normally an easy-going and all-around pleasant guy. However, Annabeth and a few characters mention that Percy is ''very'' scary when he's genuinely angry. If you provoke and[=/=]or push him to a RageBreakingPoint, he's a ''literal'' force to be reckoned with!

* GuileHero: Though it's overshadowed by Annabeth, who uses this tactic more often, Percy is very capable of using his wits to get out of a situation. [[spoiler:One example is when he tricks Crusty (Procrustes) into laying down on one of his own beds, even though he knows that Percy saw him trap two people with them and now knows how to do so.]] Unlike Annabeth, [[BadassBookworm who uses her incredible intelligence to outsmart her enemies on a very intellectual level]], Percy's GuileHero moments are more directed towards [[ManipulativeBastard getting the desired emotional reaction from others and taking advantage off it]] and even Annabeth shows herself to be unnerved at how good he's at this in ''House Of Hades'' after seeing him interact with Bob.

* FriendlessBackground: Before meeting Grover and Annabeth, he didn't have genuine friends when he was young, mostly due to getting kicked out of every school he attends and likely because of the weird things he's seen in his childhood. Even after learning his demigod status, he barely made mortal friends during his school years, until he met Rachel Elizabeth Dare, [[ISeeThemToo who can see through the Mist]].

* DreamSpying: Like all demigods, being capable of seeing glimpses of the past, present, and[=/=]or future. However, his dreams are much more potent, due to his father's "[[WildCard unpredictable]]" nature and the raw power he possesses. He views the dealings of demigods such as Luke and Hercules, gods such as Hades, and even ancient beings like Kronos himself (something Luke believed was impossible).

* DeadpanSnarker: Percy gets the award for being the most snarky in a WorldOfSnark. Even the ''chapter titles'' tend towards snark territory. It's suggested that his sarcasm is at least partially [[StepfordSnarker a coping mechanism for his abusive childhood]]. He's noticeably mellowed out of this as he matured (much to his dismay as revealed in ''The Chalice of the Gods''), but still has his snarky moments.
