This is probably extremely niche (or not, I dunno) but my brother and I were playing Skylander Trap Team, and that got me thinking about Percy Jackson characters as Skylanders (ie their element, their catchphrases, their move set, etc.) So, I decided to answer these pressing questions with the Seven, Nico, and Reyna(maybe I'll do a part 2). Also, some of the characters I could not choose one element so I made them a Swap Force. I know that's not how Swap Force works (which is that you can mix and match top pieces with bottom pieces to create new characters with different skill sets) but some of them really are a tie between two elements and I have to do it. (I did not do combos with Light/Dark as those elements were first introduced in Trap Team and not Swap Force.) Also also, if their catchphrases suck, no they don't. I tried.

Percy Jackson:

Element — Water

Attacks —

+Creating a whirlpool that he floats in (like in TLO)

+Creating a wave when Riptide hits the ground

+Slashing with Riptide

+Water shooting from his hands

Catchphrase — Let's get this over with, alright?

Note, I considered Earth as well for his earthquake powers, but decided to make it a wave instead because I only had 1 Earth attack thought up and a bajillion Water ones.

Annabeth Chase:

Element — Tech

Attacks —

+Slashing with her dagger

+Invisibility hat for a sneak attack

+Weaving a trap for her enemy (like in MOA)

+Little statues appear and attack (plan 23, TLO)

Catchphrase — I'll show them who's boss

Note, while Annabeth doesn't weave the trap for Arachne herself, she is shown to have superhuman weaving powers at other points in MOA that I think is underutilized, and decided to add it.

Jason Grace:

Element — Air

Attacks —

+Stab with a sword

+Stab with a spear

+Fly

+Summoning a lightning bolt

Catchphrase — These the guys that needs killing? (parody of off HOH)

Note, lightning counts under Air, right? I'm like 90% sure, but if not, change the Lightning to a Tornado with Lightning in it.

Piper McLean:

Element — Magic

Attacks —

+Slashing with katoptris

+Summoning sweets with the cornucopia (in a similar fashion to Food Fight) (MOA)

+Charmspeak — makes an enemy touched by her blade fight its ally for a few attacks

+Blowgun dart (TBM) (the cornucopia can double as a blowgun

Catchphrase — Don't mess with the Beauty Queen

Note, Piper was hard to classify, as her powers don't really fall into any of the elements neatly, but Charmspeak seems magical to me, hence the classification.

Leo Valdez: SWAP FORCE

Elements — Fire(top)/Tech(bottom)

Attacks —

+Boinks enemies on the head with a flaming hammer

+Creates a miniature dragon that can breath fire

+Drops Greek Fire bombs

+Shoots fire from hands

Catchphrase — The Supersized McSizzle at your service

Note, I kept switching whether Fire or Tech was his top half or bottom half, but this was chosen because most of his fire powers come from his hands (ie top) and belts are on the bottom half of Swap Force characters which makes his tool belt, and therefore tech, the bottom half.

Frank Zhang: SWAP FORCE

Elements — Life(top)/Undead(bottom)

Attacks —

+Shooting his bow

+Transforming into a bear and biting

+Grows to twice his size and tramples enemies (blessing of Mars, HOH)

+Summoning a skeleton army to help fight

Catchphrase — Bears with bows? Let's go!

Note, I did contemplate making Frank Life/Fire to do that really iconic scene from Tyrant's Tomb as an attack, but he summons an army twice and only does that once so it got scraped)

Hazel Levesque: Swap Force

Elements — Magic(top)/Earth(bottom)

Attacks —

+Stabbing with her spatha

+Summoning Arion to trample enemies

+Three exploding diamonds near where she stands

+A bunch of diamonds shooting (think like Flashwing)

Catchphrase— Watch out for the diamonds

Note, Hazel was also considered for Undead for obvious reasons, but the other two elements are more prominent in her story

Nico di Angelo:

Element — Undead

Attacks

+Slashing with Stygian Iron sword

+Wall of bones

+Summoning a skeleton army to help attack

+A ghost appears and does an attack

Catchphrase — Fear the Ghost King

Note, Nico was also considered to be duo with Earth for his geokinesis, ie sommoning a wall of stone, but I turned that into bone because I couldn't think of any other Earth attacks for him. Additionally, Dark is not able to be a Swap Force, though it was considered for Shadow Traveling, but I decided against it and leaned more into his undead attacks.

Reyna Ramírez-Arellano:

Element — Magic

Attacks —

+Stab with her javelin

+Summon Aurum and Argentum

+Heal her ally with her own health (transfer health)

+Ride on Scipio for a limited time

Catchphrase — Ave Portal Master

Note, see Piper's, picking an element fot her was difficult. Decided not to add the Hunter stuff since I had other ideas.

Any other Skylanders fans who just find mix matching the Swappers very satisfying

[namitheslime]

it's funny bc as a young young kid- like 7-9- i would take skylanders super duper mega seriously. I would make serious war aus and over the top bloody stuff because I was a dumb kid exposed to the internet too early

grim creeper was my most frequent victim of edge-ification because I made him a killer and a violent buff dude

but as I'm replaying it right now and playing as grim creeper I'm like

this dude isn't edgy or mean

this dudes a silly GOOBER!! I love him for that

[gs-artchive]

this palette looks nicer on him than i expected

i finished trap team and i thought “huh. maybe ill get swap force that’s a good game and i don’t have to buy a bunch of new skylanders because i have most of the swappers already !” but NOOOO the ps4 version has to be dummy expensive because it’s VALUABLE to COLLECTORS!!! I AM NOT A COLLECTOR!! I AM A 14 YEAR OLD AUTISTIC BOY WITH AN ALLOWANCE!!! THAT I WANT TO SPEND ON SKYLANDERS BUT I CANT’!!! thanks obama
