History Fanfic / ImaginarySeas

* TakingYouWithMe: Discussed by Percy. He tells Hephaestus that giving anything less than his all against Poseidon is tantamount to suicide anyways, so he asks Hephaestus to crank up the power of his copy of Poseidon's Trident to the maximum rather than trying to make it safe for him to use. If his body is going to crumble from handling the power of a god and he expects to die anyway, he might as well make it a fight with some chances.

* IndyPloy: While teaming up with Chiron to face off against Lostbelt Chiron, Pan-Human Chiron asks Percy to make a distraction so he can ambush Lostbelt Chiron from behind. He leaves the rest of the details up to Percy, who more or less shrugs and rolls with it.
-->'''Percy:''' Do a thing so something happens and make it work out; sounded like a plan to me.

* HyperspaceArsenal: Perseus Khresmos is the embodiment of his fate as a Greek demigod. Through it and his Savior of Olympus skill, he's able to draw upon his fate to own the Noble Phantasms he acquired and lost through his adventures to access any and all of them. Having reenacted much of Greek mythology, Percy has a small armory of Noble Phantasms at his disposal, including several non-combative Noble Phantasms such as Moly and the Golden Fleece.

* BornLucky: Percy has an A Rank in luck, reflecting how prophecies always tended to go right for him even when the worst seemed inevitability. It's also the same luck rank as the original Perseus he's named after.

-->'''Chiron:''' Percy?
'''Percy:''' ''[relieved]'' Looked like you could use some help,. Gods, am I glad you remember me. I wasn’t sure you would, in this world. You look, uh, different.

* PosthumousCharacter: Apollo, Ares, Athena, Hades and Hestia were all destroyed during the Olympiamachia. Athena managed to leave behind the remnants of his knowledge and memories in the form of her terminal, Minerva, and Hephaestus was cut in two, leaving a part of him in Atlantis and another part of him in Olympus.

* BladeOnAStick: Both Percy and Caenis have been given Poseidon's trident and thus access to his Authorities over earth and sea through his favor for them, Percy for being his favorite son and Caenis as an apology for raping her. This is also why Percy qualifies for Lancer, though he'd almost certainly kill his Master from sheer mana consumption before he got to do anything if he was summoned like this.

* InvincibleHero: Downplayed. Percy is borderline unstoppable in a one-on-one confrontation, between being invulnerable to most forms of harm, his incredible range of skills and Noble Phantasms, and just raw strength and experience from being the son of Poseidon, he's able to bulldoze the competition as a OneManArmy. His fight with Caenis is nothing less than a CurbStompBattle and he's able to thrash Lostbelt Chiron after wading through his army of EliteMooks. But Percy is aware that there's AlwaysABiggerFish, and he knows he has no chance against the Olympians by himself, especially since they're even more powerful in the Lostbelt.

* LeeroyJenkins: Subverted. Percy expected Lostbelt Chiron's 400-or-so men to ZergRush him and try to overwhelm him with sheer numbers the way they had for Pan-Human Chiron earlier. Instead, they scurried about the island, making preparations to fight Percy. This ended up working in Percy's favor, as it gave Mrs. O'Leary time to rest and Chiron time to lay a trap.

* EverybodyKnowsMorse: Percy uses Zoe's arrows to flash "five minutes" in Morse code as a discreet signal to Chiron. Justified in that Chiron could have easily taught this to his students as part of their training at Camp Half-Blood, even though he predates the concept by nearly 13,000 years.

* OnlyTheChosenMayWield: Having been gifted his father's Divine Core, Percy is able to activate machines that would normally only be accessible to the Olympians or those working for them. He gets numerous doses of nanomachines this way. He's also been bestowed with the armor and trident of Poseidon, enhancing his already immense powers. His Savior of Olympus skill also grants him the right to use any of the Mysteries of Ancient Greece and Rome, which lets him draw upon any Noble Phantasm he's ever owned through his other Noble Phantasm, Perseus Khresmos.

* AwesomeButImpractical: It's noted that while Percy is a ludicrously strong Servant, his strength and arsenal of skills and Noble Phantasms make his upkeep absolutely ruinous. Because of this, he'd be virtually impossible to utilize in a Holy Grail War without the aid of an external power source. The only reason he's able to operate at all is the fact that the Lostbelt is rich with mana due to the Age of Gods never ending on top of being supercharged with the Klironomia of several Greek gods to compensate for his energy costs. If he hadn't gotten those nanomachines, he would have faded away before he even finished his first fight.

* LawOfDiminishingDefensiveEffort: Percy's invulnerability lets him shrug about nearly anything anyone can throw at him. But he makes a point of deflecting Lostbelt Chiron's arrows just in case they had a way to pierce them. When he decides to risk his shoulder to test them, he finds that his invulnerability on the sea still holds and completely abandons defense to go on the attack. That said, when Lostbelt Chiron's soldiers fill the sky with a RainOfArrows, Percy dodges anyways as a precaution in case Moly didn't stop their magic from working.

* AnnoyingArrows: Due to Percy's invulnerability on the sea, Lostbelt Chiron's arrows ping harmlessly off his skin. Chiron exploits this to signal Percy by shooting an arrow at back of Percy's head to discreetly get his attention. [[LampshadeHanging Percy goes on to ask why anyone would send a message via arrow to the head.]]

* AscendedExtra: In the story, not only Chiron is not killed by his Lostbelt counterpart, but even manage to ''absorb'' him, gaining the power and knowledge of Lostbelt Chiron.

* LightningBruiser: Percy is a modern-day Heracles in terms of strength, toughness, and agility. While his numerical parameters are currently unknown, he's incredibly strong owing to being a son of Poseidon and possesses a better version of Orion's Stout Arm of Brutality skill. He also has three different forms of NighInvulnerability, can temporarily have EX-Rank Magic Resistance by using Moly, and can cross massive distances InASingleBound with Mana Burst (Leap). This is on top of having top-notch combat training and reflexes from his high rank in Clairvoyance, his Eye of the Mind (False) skill, and generally being trained by Chiron himself.

* ExperiencedProtagonist: As a Servant, Percy has already lived through all of his adventures, married Annabeth, settled down and had kids. He comes across as OlderAndWiser as a result and is at his physical and mental peak as a demigod warrior in both might and skill.

** In ''Fate/Grand Order'' proper, Caenis is a Divine Spirit to be feared and is only beaten through gratuitous LoopholeAbuse from Orion aka Grand Archer and Jason. Unfortunately for her in this story, Percy has everything she has but better, on top of martial skill honed from ''not'' being invulnerable. It's little wonder that he easily defeats her once he gets serious, not to mention being able to simply pray away the blessings his father gave her.

* ObnoxiousInLaws: Percy really isn't in good terms with his mother-in-law Athena whom he calls a heartless, cast-iron bitch and as such feels no remorse in trolling and manipulating her.

* DoesNotKnowHisOwnStrength: Percy knows that he has new powers as a Servant that he never had when he was alive, but he doesn't know just how exceptional he is until Chiron shows shock at just how many Noble Phantasms he has. It's also played more conventionally when Percy suffers the effects of forcibly taking on Zeus' Klironomia. His body starts spasming so badly that when he tries to grip a tree for support, he ends up ripping it out of the ground and pulls it apart while trying to let go of it.

* FatalFlaw: Percy is well-acquainted with the notions of this trope, and his own personal failing is his sheer loyalty: he'd doom the world to save a friend. He also exploits Athena's pride to get her to stop being obstinate with him and just give him more than just a map to get him to his goal.

* PainfulTransformation: Stealing Lostbelt Chiron's copy of the Zeus' Klironomia causing Percy's body to spasm. He loses control of his muscles and loses his ability to walk or use his hands as his body's structure was being changed from the inside out before blacking out.

* SplitPersonalityMerge: Chiron explains this as a possible risk of absorbing his Lostbelt counterpart. Absorbing him would mean reliving Lostbelt Chiron's life, meaning that Chiron would experience 14,000 years of memories in an instant. Because of this, he isn't sure if it will change his personality or not, and Percy is so unenrved that he offers to just kill Lostbelt Chiron on the spot. But Chiron takes the plunge anyways, deeming the information Lostbelt Chiron has too valuable to pass up. Luckily, Chiron pulls through and is still the same as ever.

* TopGod: Zeus is still the king of the gods and the most powerful among them, having usurped their Authorities and very beings to defeat Sefar 14,000 years ago. Percy even admits that as much as he might disagree with Zeus's personality, policies, or actions, the one thing he'd ''never'' dispute is that Zeus could tear him apart in a one-on-one fight. This even extends to their Klironomia. While they were able to operate independently alone, Percy can feel the Zeus Klironomia enforcing a strict hierarchy upon the others after he steals it from Lostbelt Chiron.

* TopGod: Zeus is still the king of the gods and the most powerful among them, having usurped their Authorities and very beings to defeat Sefar 14,000 years ago. This even extends to their Klironomia. While they were able to operate independently alone, Percy can feel the Zeus Klironomia enforcing a strict hierarchy upon the others after he steals it from Lostbelt Chiron.

* TemptingFate: DoubleSubverted. When Percy is about to kill Caenis, he loudly announces his intention expecting to have someone swoop in to save her in case she's some god's favorite child, lover or ex-roommate. When no one appears, Percy shrugs and gets ready to go through with it until Wodime tears a hole in space and tells him to stop.

* PsychicDreamsForEveryone: Percy has a dream of Olga Marie on the day of her death, seeing everything up the point that the control room was bombed and listening to all of her thoughts. He then sees the Priestess of the Alien God before the dream ends. This is also why Percy is able to recognize Wodime on sight, though he doesn't know that Wodime is now one of the Crypters who began the Lostbelt crisis.

* TopGod: Zeus is still the king of the gods and the most powerful among them, having suruped their Authorities and very beings to defeat Sefar 14,000 years ago. This even extends to their Klironomia. While they were able to operate independently alone, Percy can feel the Zeus Klironomia enforcing a strict hierarchy upon the others after he steals it from Lostbelt Chiron.

Percy can feel the Zeus Klironomia enforcing a strict hierarchy among the others after he steals it from Lostbelt Chiron.

* InstantExpert: Discussed. Percy is baffled by how comfortable he is with Rip[tide's new laser function even though he never used it in life. Chiron explains this as a consequence of being summoned as a Servant, but the metaphysics quickly bore Percy.

* OnlyTheChosenMayWield: Having been gifted his father's Divine Core, Percy is able to activate machines that would normally only be accessible to the Olympians or those working for them. He gets numerous doses of nanomachines this way. He's also been bestowed with the armor and trident of Poseidon, enhancing his already immense powers.

* ThereCanOnlyBeOne: Normally, Chiron would have been absorbed by his Lostbelt version almost immediately due to the latter being the more powerful existence. Chiron was only spared because the gods were unsure of how this would affect Lostbelt Chiron. Because of this, Percy uses his nanomachines to counter the critically injured Lostbelt Chiron's own to allow Chiron to take over his body.

* SinsOfOurFathers: Caenis absolutely hates Percy and tries to kill him for being a son of Poseidon because Poseidon had raped her.

* AwesomeButImpractical: It's noted that while Percy is a ludicrously strong Servant, his strength and arsenal of skills and Noble Phantasms make his upkeep absolutely ruinous. Because of this, he'd be virtually impossible to utilize in a Holy Grail War without the aid of an external power source. The only reason he's able to operate at all is the fact that the Lostbelt is rich with mana due to the Age of Gods never ending on top of being supercharged with the Kilronomia of several Greek gods to compensate for his energy costs. If he hadn't gotten those nanomachines, he would have faded away before he even finished his first fight.

* BrainsAndBrawn: Percy and Chiron form this duo. Percy is the Brawn, having been supercharged by the Kilronomia he's been taking in as well as his wide array of Noble Phantasms and skills that make him a OneManArmy. Chiron is the brains, as he is still the wiser and more calculating of the two of them and has more knowledge of what exactly is going on in the Lostbelt.

* DeityOfHumanOrigin: Percy was born SemiDivine, but is currently a full-fledged Divine Spirit due to being gifted Poseidon's Divine Core. While this bumps up his strength, it makes his mana consumption even more ridiculous and he needs several doses of Kilronomia to be able to fight properly and it isn't until he takes in Athena's and Ares' Kilronomia for him to be able to fight at full strength.
* DoesNotKnowHisOwnStrength: Percy knows that he has new powers as a Servant that he never had when he was alive, but he doesn't know just how exceptional he is until Chiron shows shock at just how many Noble Phantasms he has. It's also played more conventionally when Percy suffers the effects of forcibly taking on Zeus' Kilronomia. His body starts spasming so badly that when he tries to grip a tree for support, he ends up ripping it out of the ground and pulls it apart while trying to let go of it.

* HealingFactor: The denizens of the Atlantis Lostbelt have all been given Demeter's Kilronomia, Ambrosia. As a result, they have the ability to regenerate from most wounds, only requiring a healing coma in the case of severe injuries, and are TheAgeless.

* PowerUpFood: Percy has access to Moly, the herb Hermes gave to Odysseus to protect him from Circe, in the form of the multivitamins Hermes gave him in ''The Sea of Monsters''. Eating them bumps up Percy's Magic Resistance to EX, allowing him to weather small uses of divine power. Percy also takes in Ares' and Athena's Kilronomias by drinking them.

* SoLastSeason: Discussed by the author. He's aware that Gilgamesh originally held the title of being the strongest character in the Nasuverse courtesy of owning Ea and having enough Noble Phantasms to take down even Arcueid Brunestud. This has made Gil the de facto measuring stick for power in the Nasuverse, but even he has been eclipsed by the Servants shown in ''Fate/Grand Order'', namely gods like Lostbelt Zeus, Arjuna Over Gods, and other top gods like Quetzalcoatl and Ishtar at her full strength.
