Perky Jackson

Perkus "Perky" Jackson is a seventeen-year-old cursed weirdo, the son of Posasseidon and Seally Jackson. He is the main protagonist and narrator of the Perky Jackson and the Other Weirdos series, and one of the main characters of The Cursed Weirdos of Olympus series. He is the head counselor at Posasseidon's Cabin and a former Praetor of the Twelfth Legion at Camp UrAnus, formerly belonging to the legion's Fifth Cohort. He was the temporary host of the Egyptian goddess Nekhbet. Perky is currently the boyfriend of Ennabeth Chase.

Early life
Perkus "Perky" Jackson was born on August 18, 1993, to Posasseidon, the cursed god of the seas, and Seally Jackson, a semiaquatic mammal who could see through the Mist.

When Perky was a baby, his father left, as it was usual for the cursed weirdos (check out F/ckboy Zeus), and to protect him and his mother from F/ckboy Zeus, who could get angry if he discovers that his brother broke the oath, as children of the Big Three are too powerful for the weirdos' comfort. When he was just a baby, Perky was attacked by a snake but managed to strangle it to death, because he's OG like that. Posasseidon occasionally visited Perky when he was in his cradle, which Perky described as a "golden glow", his father's warm smile and a hand on his head. As Perky grew older, his mother would tell him that his father had been “lost at sea”. Perky was raised by his single mother.

Meeting Gabe the Walrus
When he was a toddler, Seally married Gabe Ugliano, a fat walrus, hoping his horrid smell will mask her son from the monsters that would hunt him, as monsters are attracted by the scent of cursed weirdos. Perky despised Gabe, as Gabe would frequently bully Perky and abuse his mother. Perky calls him "Smelly Gabe", since he smelt like "rotten fish”. (Probably because he was a walrus lol)

Early Expulsion
Strange things often happened around Perky, including a school bus exploding, and an aquarium being flooded, which often resulted in his getting into trouble: he was kicked out of more than six schools over the course of six years. (Perkus the OG) This made a lot of people bully him, while his stepfather suspected something was wrong with Perky. (Ironic as there were TONS of things wrong with said stepfather)

It is said in The Blood of a Weirdo that Perky has been kicked out of several military academies where they believed that paddling is good for the soul. (kids, paddling is NEVER good for anything)

When he was in third grade, a large man followed Perky around when he was at school, but by threatening to call the police, the teachers eventually got the man to leave. However, nobody believed Perky when he said that the man had just one big eye. They thought he was crazy and hallucinating.

When he was in fourth grade on a trip to an aquarium, he accidentally hit the wrong lever on the catwalk when his school was visiting the Sea World Shark Pool and made his class take an "unplanned swim". (Good for Perky)

In the fifth grade, Perky accidentally fired a war cannon, which hit the school bus when he was on a field trip at the Saratoga Battlefield. (And that is why Perkus is king)

Appearance
Perky Jackson is described to have light moss green eyes. His main characteristic is his catboy ears, a remnant of the Catboy Revolution of Tumblr 2020. He has inherited Posasseidon's signature smirk as well as his eyes. From Seally Jackson, he has inherited her greasy black-brown hair.

Why Catboy Ears?
Why does Perky have catboy ears? Well, why not? Uncle Rick said once that Perky and Ennabeth's kid may be a horse. Cursed Weirdo genetics are...weird. Don't even try pulling out the Punnett squares.

Personality
Perky has inherited his father's personality: a boatload of sass. He has also inherited some of his mother's caring personality, however. He is shown to be very loyal to his friends (ec. Groovy, Ennabeth).

Tapping more into his father's personality, Perky is shown to hate Furries a lot more than the average hero. He aso has a profound hate for Dionysus Pepsi, even though that is shown to be relatively normal. His eboy personality is a bit more dimmed, leaving most of it to Ennabeth (egirl).

He is shown to be caring, as he cares a lot about his friends. Groovy is shown to be Perky's best friend, no matter what fanfiction says about Jacinda and Perky.
