Camp Half Blood

I was hoping to possibly share a few Questions that I had, regarding the PJO Universe.

__

Question One:

1. What would happen if a Demigod switched religions?

For example, what if a Greek/Roman/Norse/etc. Demigod refused the Gods of their birth religion, including their godly parent, and started believing in another religion, or decided to become an Egyptian Magician, or whatever, what would happen?

Would the Demigod's godly parent just switch over to whatever the equivalent would be for that new religion?

Or would they just be a Greek/Roman/Norse Demigod/Magician/etc. who happened to end up going to another afterlife when they die?

Question Two:

2. Another question that I have is: **What would happen if a Demigod tried to access "Mythology Specific" zones of other Pantheons? **

For example, a Greek/Roman Demigod, or an Egyptian Magician, or etc., attempting to climb the world tree, or a Norse/Greek/Roman attempting to enter the Duat, or Alfheim, or Helheim, or etc.?

Ave, fellow demigods.

I've been pondering the extent of Nico di Angelo's abilities, particularly around his unique connection with the dead.

As we know, Nico, being a son of Hades, has a profound link with the Underworld and possesses several powers related to death and the dead.

However, I've been curious about two specific potential abilities and would love to hear your thoughts or any insights you might have.

1. Sensing How Someone Died Through "Death Energy"

Firstly, do you think Nico could "Sense" how someone died?

The idea here is that the more recent the death, the more "Death Energy" exists, and Nico could use this energy to envision the victim(s)' final moments.

Kind of like Psychometry, but with a unique Underworld twist.

This concept isn't explicitly mentioned in the Percy Jackson series, but given Nico's deep connection with death, it seems like a possibility.

Could this be an extension of his powers we haven't seen, or perhaps something that could develop?

2. Temporary Revival à la Jonah Hex

Secondly, drawing inspiration from the 2010 movie Jonah Hex

(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jonah_Hex_(film))

where the protagonist can temporarily bring the dead back to life for a limited time just by touching them, as well as force the ghost to speak truthfully, do you think Nico could potentially have a similar ability?

Imagine if, by touching someone deceased, Nico could bring them back to life but ONLY for a couple of minutes, and ONLY as long as he maintains physical contact.

Once he stops, they would return to being deceased.

Another character who has a similar ability, but with hearts instead of touch, is Enoch O'Connor, from the series Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children.

This ability would certainly have its limitations but could be incredibly useful for gathering information, or for saying final goodbyes.

Both of these potential abilities raise interesting questions about the limits of Nico's powers and how they could evolve.

What do you think?

Are these abilities too far-fetched, or do they align with the potential growth of his character and powers?

Could there be instances or hints in the series that suggest these abilities are possible?

Looking forward to hearing your theories, insights, and any information you might have on this topic.

I think even the first movie was more accurate than the series have been so far. There are so many inaccuracies it blows my mind. What's this about the arch thing? Hephaestus's chair? That Medusa scene wasn't even like the book. Percy never used a mirror to view her. The entire Lotus scene never went like that, there weren't even Lotuses.

I'm not saying it's a bad show, I will still watch it but it is absolutely not like the book. I can't believe Rick Riordan oversaw this production and let this all pass.

How come nobody told me this. I've been waiting on this for like a decade. I'm stoked AF y'all!

I’ve liked it quite a bit. Feels very much identical to the source material.

Are you planning to watch it?

Yes, another after the newest one that came out yesterday.

I just finished the mainline series the other day and the thing I keep thinking about is how much happened in such a short timeline overall. Especially in the final book, things really move along at such a quick pace. My executive dysfunction can't handle it.

For me, it was baaaad... 😖

And i doubt than anyone here wants to defend it for what it is.

So how about instead you share your thoughts and opinions about what would have you done if you were in charge of the script! 📝🧐
