History Characters / TheCampHalfBloodSeriesMajorGods

* AFormYouAreComfortableWith: Justified, as anyone less powerful than them seeing them in their true forms would be burnt to ash.

As one might expect, her role in an adventure story is pretty minimal. Unlike the other Olympians her changes are minimal in her Greek and Roman forms and so her personality is virtually the same. She attests this to love being the same being Greek and Roman or anything else, and while she keeps the giggly, teasing, temperamental demeanor from the previous series, she hints at a steely competence and a deep empathy for those around her. Piper [=McLean=]'s mother.

A brutish biker. As one might expect, he's petty and not that bright.

A calm and reserved goddess as well as stoic, serious and extremely pragmatic. She does not like males and often speaks poorly of them unless they prove themselves. She is; however, far more reasonable with them then her hunters.

A perpetual maiden, her "children" are born from a quite literal meeting of minds between herself and a mortal. She is dignified, wise, and cautious. Mother of Annabeth Chase.

A somewhat fussy goddess with overprotective maternal instincts. She also seems to be absent-minded, possibly explaining how Persephone could have been kidnapped by Hades. She is [[Literature/TheTrialsOfApollo stated by Apollo]] to be warm and loving.

Dionysus is currently being "[[CoolAndUnusualPunishment punished]]" by being assigned as the head of Camp Half-Blood for 100 years after chasing after an off-limits nymph, and is grouchy due to being forced off the bottle until his punishment is over. Has an extremely strong dislike of heroes. Known as "Mr. D" to the campers.

A aloof, pragmatic and cynical god that has a subtly fatalist point of view of others, especially his fellow Olympians, if not all organic life forms in general. He has a tendency to be gruff, as well as to be bitter and disappointed in life and as such puts his faith in machines. Leo Valdez's father.

Although Hera at first appears to be pleasant and a very maternal goddess, she can quickly become very harsh to those that do not fit her definition of a "perfect family".

As the messenger of the gods he's always extremely busy. Luke Castellan's father.

Percy Jackson's father. Poseidon is shown to take greater care of his children than other gods and is more mature than his brother Zeus.

A very proud god, commanding and has an extremely high amount of self-respect, almost to the point of sanctimoniousness, condescension and narcissism. He demands respect and precedence from mortals, demigods, and the other gods. He is the father of Thalia Grace.

Bitter and asocial, but not truly evil. He is distant and angry due to past tragedies which lead him to behave the way he does, though he tries hard not to show it. Father of Bianca and Nico di Angelo.

The goddess of the hearth. She's often overlooked by the other characters, often quite literally. It is unknown if Vesta actually exists as Hestia's SplitPersonality.

* SadlyMythtaken: As talked about in AdaptationalVillainy above, Riordan's decision to makea much more antagonistic, flawed and incompetent Zeus resulted in numerous liberties taken with the original mythological figure. Most noticeable of all is Zeus' status as TheOathBreaker, when Zeus was the god of oaths (in fact him being bound by his word came into play several times in mythology, such as Herakles' birth and is one of the few consistent traits of Zeus), or Zeus' frequently unfair decisions when it comes to dealing with his kingly duties - when Zeus was the god of justice in Ancient Greece, frequently depicted surrounded by various embodiments of law and wisdom assisting him in his duties (Themis, Athena, Metis).

* RaceLift: Due to Rick Riordan's preference of ability over appearance, Zeus will be played by Lance Reddick (who is Black) in the first season of the Disney Plus series. Justified as he is a god and can shapeshift.

* {{Hypocrite}}: Zeus tears into Poseidon for breaking his oath and calls Percy's birth a crime, and tries to kill Hades' illegitimate children, Nico and Bianca. Yet he broke the oath after being the one to force it on his brothers. No one bothers to mention it since he just got his lightning bolt back and in his next sentence he is clearly just all talk as he says he should have killed Percy on the plane when he well knew the master bolt was with him and everyone knows he would never have risked destroying ''that''.

** And need we mention the simple fact that Zeus has an ''[[ExtremeOmnisexual Anything That Moves]]'' ''Complex'' about him in actual Greek Myths? Where Zeus was arguably '''THE''' most adulterous and unfaithful of the Greek Gods to have ever existed and responsible for siring a number of gods, demigods, mortal heroes, and even monsters from Greek Myth?

!!!'''Played by:''' Creator/RayWinstone (films), [[Wrestling/EdgeWrestler Adam Copeland]] (TV series)

** She later [[spoiler: creates 15 children from Nico Di Angelo's Darkness]].

* {{Ghostapo}}: A Roman god who is strongly implied to be the father of Adolf Hitler.

* AbusiveParents: Flip flops between this and PapaWolf. He threatens to vaporize Jason for talking back to him, and apparently Apollo has a good reason to dislike lightning. This is made apparent in ''Literature/TheTrialsOfApollo'' when he had a mirror in ''The Tower of Nero'', whom Apollo found disturbingly similar to his own father, from the ParentalNeglect to the ItsAllAboutMe attitude to the WhyDidYouMakeMeHitYou way to deal with his parent.

* WhyDidYouMakeMeHitYou: He warned Apollo to say clear of his lightning blot, absolving himself of any responsibility.

* AdaptationDyeJob: In the 20th Century Fox film adaptation of ''The Lighting Thief'', he has reddish-brown hair, in the Disney Plus series, owing to Rick Riordan's preference of AbilityOverAppearance his hair is dirty blonde, matching Walker Scobell's own hair.

* FailedASpotCheck: Because of his pride, he's not as sharp as he gloats himself to be. One major instance was in ''The Lightning Thief''. He accuses Poseidon's demigod son, Percy Jackson, as the Lightning Thief, even though there's clear evidence to the contrary. It's even pointed out by observers that Poseidon is not known for thievery. The actual Lightning Thief was a half-blood child of [[spoiler:Hermes, the god ''of'' thieves: Luke Castellan.]]

* BewareTheNiceOnes: [[spoiler:When Percy throws Kronos' scythe[=/=]Luke's sword, Backbiter, into the hearth, the weapon melts into liquid and not even the Curse of Achilles could bypass her flames without getting burned. Hestia is even gives her father a [[DeathGlare look of disgust]] while doing so, and as Percy mentions in the ''Greek Gods'', she ''remembers being eaten by Kronos since '''the day she was born'''''.]]
* ChekhovsGunman: [[spoiler:The little girl tending the hearth as Percy tours the camp for the first time in ''The Lightning Thief'' appears four books later as Hestia, goddess of the hearth and the titular [[TitleDrop last Olympian.]]]]

* BigDamnHeroes: In ''The Titan's Curse'', saving Percy, Thalia, Zoë, and Grover from Dr. Thorn and his soldiers.

* FailedASpotCheck: Because of his pride, he's not as sharp as he gloats himself to be. One of the major instance was in ''The Lightning Thief''. He accuses Poseidon's son, Percy Jackson, as the Lightning Thief. It's even mentioned by observers that Poseidon is not known for thievery... the actual thief happened to be a child of [[spoiler:Hermes, the god ''of'' thieves: Luke Castellan.]]

* EveryoneHasStandards: According to the flashbacks that Hazel has to her first life, he did his best to dissuade her mother from the life she was leading. Pluto would say that this isn't a healthy situation for either Queen Marie or their child to pursue power and money. The judges of the Underworld are hard on Ms. Levesque after she and Hazel die, partly out of respect for Pluto and the fact that Hazel was destined to have a happier life if not for her mother making a deal with Gaea. 

* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: Pluto is a rules-bound HonorBeforeReason god that takes his vows seriously, and he does ''not'' bend them for anyone he loves. Hazel knows that something is up when despite having killed herself in a HeroicSacrifice a hundred years ago, she's back in the land of the living, and Pluto doesn't make her surrender her soul to Thanatos after her team saves the latter. She wonders if it's because he feels guilty about the fact that he was compelled to sire her and leave her at her mother's mercy, or if saving Thanatos meant she got a pass. 

* TheSmartGuy: Among the Olympians.

* EvilUncle: He nearly killed Bianca and Nico when they were small children. They survived, but their mother wasn't so lucky.

** And need we mention the simple fact that Zeus has an ''[[ExtremeOmnisexual Anything That Moves]]'' ''Complex'' about him in actual Greek Myths? Where Zeus was arguably '''THE''' most adulterous and unfaithful of the Greek Gods to have ever existed and responsible for siring a number of Gods, Demi-Gods, Mortal Heroes, and even Monsters from Greek Myth?

* NiceGuy: Probably the nicest of the Olympian gods. For example, he forgives Percy for jumping on his throne, he and Hermes were the only gods to visit Calypso while she was trapped on her island, and his response to Leo ranting at him is to [[ActuallyPrettyFunny laugh]]. The only other Olympian that wouldn't blast their child for impertinence on the spot is implied to be Hades, of all people. He may be socially awkward, but he's still a good guy.

* BloodKnight: Averted as Mars. He's not about endless bloodshed without resolution.
* BootsOfToughness: Mars wears them as part of a uniform.
* ColonelBadass: Mars's preferred form.
* CharacterDevelopment: He's considerably less of a straight-up {{jerkass}} in ''Son of Neptune'', at least in regards to his son. Justified, considering that Mars is held in much higher regards to the Romans than Ares to most of the Greek city states (with the Spartans being an exception).

* ObfuscatingStupidity: Pretends to not remember who Percy is in front of the Romans even though Frank can tell he’s lying.
** MetaphoricallyTrue: And yet none of what he says to Percy is an actual lie.
* PetTheDog: [[spoiler:Keeps Grandmother Zhang company while she’s waiting for Frank to come home one last time.]]

* VitriolicBestBuds: Acts like this with Percy, who's probably a lot more appealing to Mars than he was to Ares.
