Thinking about the different Demigod factions in the random AUs pushed all into one verse AU lol ( I don’t have a name for it, oops)
Cuz like obviously we have Camp Half-Blood, which I feel like for the sake of having no mist would have to be more professional as I think demigod discrimination is real so they’d have their own specialized schools, CHB and CJ would just be the big Greco-Roman ones (kinda like how there are other wizarding schools in HP?) but they’re pretty minor I’d say.
Like CHB would be the equivalent of a public school for Demigods so most people in the area go there I’d say because there’s no extra things required. And I also feel like CHB would be faced with a lot more discrimination as basically they aren’t CJ lol. They’re not military coded and training them to be soldiers, not really. Chiron’s just preparing them for battle using things similar to the mortal world activities just like in canon.
Then there’s CJ. CJ is basically a private military school and is where everyone would LIKE demigods to be sent to but because they’re so prestigious that’s obviously not the case.
Anyways, I think that demigod quests have to be approved by some sort of government officials otherwise it would be considered an act of vigilantism.
Law authorities wouldn’t like demigods that much but I feel like they would have mythical related weapons through magic. (Although uou can’t tell me that they didn’t try to experiment on demigods AND MONSTERS probably when the mist first lifted)
I feel like goddess like Apollo, Hestia, Hecate, Hera, Artemis, and Hermes would be more worshipped by society as they’re important aspects. Hecate specifically because through magic is a way for mortals to defend themselves although not everyone can just casually learn it.
Then there’s the TA which kinda has two branches, the main Greek branch and the Roman branch who’s kinda allowed to do their own thing unless given direct orders from Luke or Saturn/Kronos. They’d be considered vigilantes but it would be like, cops vs any superhero’s villains type situation.
Would cops have a demigod unit? Probably but I don’t think they’d like to bring them out, simply because the overall consensus is that demigods are inferior (not to mention them having learning disabilities which would make this worse) and society probably molding them for battle once they’re claiming or found.
So the TA isn’t JUST going for the gods, they want to take out the mortals that’s been oppressing them for so long. So like not only cycle of abuse, but oppression too, fun!
So yeah, definitely planning on making other factions and camps for other parts of the world because the mist dropped for the WHOLE world. Also not to mention government definitely trying to breed and make weapons from different pantheons because once a gods blood in engraved within a bloodline, you just have to pull it out of them.
Yeah I definitely think from unit 731 did/is going on with demigods and that will also play a role.
Also thinking about when Percy would go to camp and I think maybe around TTC. Maybe he has his first encounter with CHB in SoM. And the camps in this AU know of each other but they don’t really interact cuz they have a really bitter rivalry.
I also can’t wait for finish writing the prologue because I feel like the situation I made with Percy and Sally is really interesting and makes his parallels w Luke in this AU that much stronger.
Thinking about my godswap AU a little more, specifically about Annabeth and Grover. I think I want Annabeth to either be a child of hades, ares, or Aphrodite?? I could honestly see Ares or Aphrodite a bit more seeing as they’re both seem to have very emotional demigod children. I thought of Hades because of this one fan art I remember seeing so??
I also thought of Zeus for Annabeth so maybe Zeus? I think in this AU the big three pact may not be a thing so it gives me more freedom for sure. I’ve also thought about giving her a minor godly parent so any suggestions are welcome.
As for Grover I’m not sure. Honestly I don’t have alot ideas. I’ve either thought of:
- Keeping him a Satyr
- Demeter Child?
- Child of Silenus (God of Drunkenness, Forests, and Mine-Making, also tutor of Dionysus)
I feel like I could do alot of cool things with Grover if I made him a demigod but these are all just thoughts.
EDIT:
Please comment your thoughts I’d appreciate them 🙏🙏
Thinking lol
And like, my Percy Jackson AU has actually evolved a lot with my concepts of it from the first post and I’m sort of thinking. What if I made it sort of like the Absolute DC thing?
Like most of the characters would be the same as how I’ve been writing them but it just seems like a fun idea.
For like the type of universe it would be? I’m not sure. Like the basics of the universe would be the same, with CHB and CJ but I want to find a way to make society different. (Still playing around with the Mist Idea HEAVILY). Also thinking about toying with messing with new myths and even taking some inspiration from DC (maybe? Idk)
Mostly I’ve been thinking about this cuz I want to write a high school au and the sorta Roman!percy au and looking for a way to combine them both lol.
But yeah. Thats it pretty much. Now as for a name for this AU which has changed a billion times? I have no idea lol. Any suggestions would be appreciated? At this point I have no idea what I’m doing ngl. Just a tired teen trying to write an AU but being wayyy too indecisive along the way.
Okay my first idea is kinda my character of my non pjo writing project inserted into Percy Jackson but the idea is that he was the one who trained Luke when he came to camp. We don't really know alot about Luke's time at camp really and I seriously doubt he became the best swordsman without alot of work. So the idea for my oc is basically he was Luke's mentor similar to how Luke was Percy's.
Maybe he died in a quest or something but I want to include him in my godswap AU so we'll be going with that version of him.
In that version he's a 1st gen legacy of hades. I dont think its much of a stretch if there were big three kids past 16 after the pact was made for a 1st gen legacy of hades. I ended up chosing Hades because (I think) ww2 was like zeus and poseidon v hades and this person is of Japanese descent. I think he'd have a Shinto godly parent but I haven't decided who. Maybe Susano'o or something.
Maybe he died on a quest or left camp after he turned 18. In my AU though he became a hunter (I don't agree with the PJO characterization of the hunters and I will be making male hunters of artemis) but left and returning to check out camp after the war with Gaea.
Realistically if I wanted to make it as close to canon as possible, he'd probably be an unclaimed or a child of Ares and probably died on a quest or left camp.
But this is my self indulgent verse so like... fuck that lol.
I also have ideas for original children of the big three, demititans, and all that but I only think I'd make only a few full fleshed ideas.
I’ve always wanted to write atleast one historical pjo au and lowkey I want to write maybe like a WW2 Au.
Would they be demigods? Probably. Why? Because it makes things more interesting lol. Double the trauma. World War 2 is probably one of the wars I have the most information on. It would probably go from the bombing of Pearl Harbor to the bombings and then maybe a few chapters of the aftermath.
Also the Roman v Greek thing would be cool (atleast I think they fought in ww2 I forgot it was either ww2 or civil war).
Honestly I wish I could just think of something and it would just apparently on the paper fully written lol. There also aren’t a lot of ww2 historical aus.
Now the big question is: Should I write this?
I'm pretty sure this is like pure fanfic stuff but I like the idea of it a lot. The idea that the reason Percy can control things like blood and poison is because while he was in Tartarus his domains evolved and expanded out of the ones his father gave him.
And basically its one of the reasons demigods are so powerful, because they can cross and seep into another God's domain (not easily of course) but they aren't restricted by being a god because they have mortal blood within them.
So that had me thinking a little bit. If Percy (and by extension other characters but it would be a little bit tricker to apply it to) falling into Tartarus where he is pushed to such extremes that the capabilities of his domains shift, then what the hell could he be capable of?
Not to mention possible blessings from the gods and Primordials. (Yeah this is lowkey apart of my Tartarus AU because I think I want to write that one first. Maybe I'll just switch and swap until I finish one lol).
Because I'm not gonna lie I could lowkey see Percy being offered blessings from multiple and I have a few ideas.
But just as a normal demigod what could he domains expand to? Would it be a stretch for fire to become apart of his domain due to the exposure and use of the phlegethon?
I've already thought about the basic things people usually do, pulling magma from the earth, ice manipulation, poison, blood, pulling water from thin air, etc etc.
But I want to do something different because I do want to incorporate "dark!percy" into it somehow.
But not like super op, edgy. dark Percy because realistically he wouldn't be like that. I just see him as more of "falling for you" type if you've ever read that.
So like if you have any ideas PLEASE comment I have none. I really just want to explore his powers out of the basics. (Maybe to can tap into different epithets from Poseidon and from other pantheons because syncretism??
My brain needs to STOP giving me ideas cuz bro.
I’ve been watching Arcane and I have a few more episodes left and tell me why all of a sudden I’m starting to write a fantasy esk AU help.
Anyways, the Spiderman AU is going to get a new chapter soon. I just have to get the energy to get on my computer to post it.
Unfortunately none of the AUs I write will be short because I don’t think I have that capability within me to do that so.. yeah.
Look forward to that maybe? But just keep in mind my next posts on ao3 will most definitely be straight Spider-Man AU chapters.
I love this concept SO much what
part 1/5 of titan army members' weaponry || alabaster || chris || silena || luke <- all tbr
my pen started sharting out on me during this piece my god.. have to buy new tips T_T
anyway, the thesis statement is: LET ETHAN NAKAMURA HAVE A COOL WHIP. HE IS HIS MOTHER'S SON
At first I wasn't going to involve any Mycenaean or Minoan related things in my kinda sorta superhero demigod au but I'm actually reconsidering.
I'm currently writing this scene were Percy ends up going on a mission but he sort of loses his shit after injecting something and I think I want the trigger to be because he has such origins.
So I started doing a little research and found out that there was (supposedly? idk how true it is) was a Minoan god known as Potidas who was essentially ruled over everything and like natural things, so he ruled over the earth, the sky, storms, etc.
And so I also found out that Poseidon (atleast maybe his name?) actually came from this god.
And of course you may or may not know about Mycenaean Poseidon who was a chthonic deity.
So I plan on having Percy be of such descent probably.
But I don't want to do this with just Percy. I want to do this with other demigods too, especially ones like Zeus who was associated with a Minoan God known as Velchanos and was associated with like vegetation but I don't know if I should do this with preexisting characters or make some new ones up to do it.
So I decided im just gonna, make a poll lol and the first one is gonna be for Zeus's kids. Jason isn't going to be on this list because he's Jupiter's kid and I want to have the distinction in this be pretty clear.
I've posted all the chapters for act 1 because I wanted to get them out instead of sitting on them. They might be kinda shitty but they're done. Start with chapter 2
