A powerful Titan who was once an ally of Hermes but now wants the staff for himself. He believes that with the staff, he can regain his former glory and overthrow the Olympians once and for all.
One idea could be that Percy discovers a hidden power within the Staff of Hermes that can open portals to different mythological realms not yet explored in the original series. He could then embark on a journey to these new places, facing new monsters and making unexpected alliances.
In some fanfictions, Hermes interacts with Percy as a mentor. He might offer advice on how to deal with other gods or mythical creatures. For example, he could tell Percy the weaknesses of a particular monster. In other stories, he may be more of an enigma, his actions and words being hard to decipher. Sometimes, Hermes and Percy form an alliance, like when they have to face a common threat together.
The theme of trickery also pops up a lot. Given Hermes' nature, there are often elements of trickery and deception in the fanfiction. This could be Hermes playing a trick on Percy or Percy using Hermes - like tactics to outwit his enemies. It makes for some exciting plot twists and keeps the readers on their toes.
In the fanfiction, it's possible that the boa staff is a reward for Percy helping out a magical creature. He could have saved a snake - like being that has a special bond with the boa staff. As a token of gratitude, the creature gives Percy the staff which then becomes an important part of his adventures.
Well, I really like the fanfiction 'Hermes' Role in Percy's Journey'. In this story, Hermes is portrayed as a more complex character than in the original books. He has his own motives and struggles while interacting with Percy. There's also a fanfic called 'Percy's Encounters with Hermes' where Percy has multiple encounters with Hermes that change his perspective on the god. Additionally, 'The Hermes - Percy Alliance' is a great read as it shows how the two can work together against common enemies, with some really cool action scenes and character development.
Hermes might start as a mischievous and curious child. Since Percy is his father, he could inherit some of Percy's determination. As the story progresses, he could learn about loyalty from Percy, especially when dealing with other gods who might not have his best interests at heart.
There's also 'Hermes' Gift'. In this fanfiction, Hermes gives Percy a special gift that changes the course of his adventures. It's a short but engaging read that really dives into the relationship between Percy and Hermes. It shows how Hermes' actions can have far - reaching impacts on Percy's journey.
Apollo is often seen as confident and somewhat flamboyant. Hermes is more sly and quick - witted. In a fanfiction, Apollo might be a bit overbearing at first, but Hermes would use his wits to keep Apollo in check. For example, if Apollo makes a grand plan without thinking it through, Hermes would point out the flaws in a clever way.
Well, one way it could work is by having Naruto possess the speed and cunning associated with Hermes. Maybe he could use his ninja skills in the world of Percy Jackson. For example, his shadow clone jutsu could be a really unique ability there. He could send clones to gather information quickly, just like Hermes' messengers.
