Canon Percy is mainly influenced by Poseidon, which gives him a certain set of traits like being loyal and having a connection to the sea. But if Percy was the son of Ares and Aphrodite, his personality would be a wild mix. He'd likely be more aggressive like Ares, quick to anger in some situations. However, Aphrodite's influence would also make him more charming and aware of social dynamics. He might be more concerned with appearances and how others perceive him compared to canon Percy.
In the original stories, Percy is a bit of an underdog who is learning about his powers. If he were the son of Ares and Aphrodite, his personality would be much more complex. His Ares - side would make him more competitive and perhaps a bit more arrogant in battle. He'd think he was invincible at times. But Aphrodite's influence would also make him more empathetic in a strange way. He'd understand the emotions of others on a deeper level, especially when it comes to love and attraction. This would be a very different Percy from the one we know, who is mainly focused on his own journey and survival.
His powers would be a blend of two very different deities. While still having control over water like the original Percy, he might be able to use his Aphrodite - related powers in combat. For example, he could use his charm to disorient opponents or make them more vulnerable. Also, his connection to the sea might be different. Instead of just controlling the water, he could perhaps make the sea seem more alluring or beautiful, which could be a new form of defense or attack, luring enemies into a false sense of security.
In this fanfiction, Percy would likely have powers related to both Apollo and Athena. Canon Percy has water - based powers from Poseidon. But here, he might have the ability to heal like Apollo, which would be a huge difference. He could also have enhanced intelligence and strategic thinking from Athena. So instead of just relying on his strength and water powers in battles, he could use his wits and healing abilities as well.
It could be depicted as a tumultuous one. Ares is all about war and aggression, while Aphrodite is love and beauty. They might constantly be at odds, yet also drawn to each other. In a Percy Jackson fanfiction, their relationship could be shown through their bickering and secret meetings. For example, Percy might stumble upon them arguing in a hidden grove about whether love or war is more powerful.
His confidence might increase. Aphrodite is all about charm and allure, and being around her could rub off on Percy. He might become more self - assured in social situations, which is quite different from his sometimes - awkward self in the original stories.
Canon Percy is a son of Poseidon. If he were the son of Artemis and Orion, his character would be more reserved in terms of relationships. Since Artemis is associated with chastity, Percy might be more cautious about romantic involvements. Also, his combat style would be different. Instead of relying on water powers, he'd focus more on archery and hunting skills.
Percy might also have an ability to sense emotions on a deeper level. This could help him in combat, as he could predict an opponent's moves based on their emotional state. For instance, if an enemy is angry, he might be more reckless, and Percy could use that to his advantage.
He'd probably be more brooding. Growing up with Hades, he'd be exposed to the darker side of the mythological world constantly. So, instead of the somewhat upbeat Percy we know, he might be more withdrawn and moody.
One idea could be Percy struggling with the duality of his parents' natures. Ares' aggression and Aphrodite's love and beauty aspects could be at odds within him. For example, he might be in a situation where his natural inclination towards love and peace from Aphrodite clashes with the need for battle and aggression from Ares during a war between the camps. Another plot could involve Percy having unique powers due to his dual heritage. Maybe he can use love as a weapon in a way, like making enemies fall in love with each other and thus incapacitating them, which is a strange power coming from the combination of his parents.
One possible plot could be that Ares and Aphrodite's secret relationship is somehow discovered by Percy and his friends. Percy then has to decide whether to expose them or use this knowledge to his advantage in the ongoing power struggles among the gods. Maybe Aphrodite tries to charm Percy into keeping the secret, while Ares threatens him. This would create a lot of tension and moral dilemmas for Percy.
He'd probably be more aware of his appearance. Instead of just being a scruffy, normal - looking demigod, he might take more care in how he presents himself. He could also be more charming without really trying, which might get him into trouble sometimes as people might misinterpret his intentions.
