Nolan Swift Character Page

Nolan Swift


Nolan Swift is a demigod son of Hermes and is the fastest runner out of all his children. During the battle with Typhon in the last Percy Jackson book; Swift's house is destroyed and him and his mom move to a small town outside of Philadelphia while they house is being rebuilt. While the news said it was a series of storms, Swift could momentarily see through th fog but couldn't understand what he was seeing and passed it off as a nightmare. Almost a year later as he reaches the end of his sophmore year at his high school, a girl he had never seen before appears in one of his classes but his classmates say she has been there all year. This girl also saves him from a monster attack and tells him that he is in fact a demigod. That night he has a dream about Hermes and just as he is about to take his true form, he wakes up and sees a caduceus hologram above his head.

He eventually makes it to camp where he meets Malcolm Archer and Erika Plume. Some time after these events, Megan is attacked by a hydra and is badly poisoned when one of its' heads bites into her arm. The only cure is a fruit located in the Underworld; so Swift, Erika, and Malcolm travel across America battling monsters along the way before entering the Underworld and getting the fruit. Toward the end of this story, Swift recieves the blessing oh Hermes which allows him to travel at super sonic speeds for a short amount of time.

His weapon is a celestial bronze sledge hammer that he can combine with his speed to deal critical damage to monsters. He likes it better than a sword because he thinks that a strong hit with his hammer will end any fight quickly. His hammer can shrink into a small hammer pendant that he wears around his neck. Swift's main weakness is that he tires very easily if he runs to fast or for to long. His first name is my first name and the last name Swift adds on to the fact that he likes to run and is faster than all the other demigods at camp.

Megan Snow


Megan Snow is a demigod daughter of Athena. She is one month younger than Nolan Swift. She is sent to help Swift back to camp after Hermes identifies him as one of his sons at the end of the Percy Jackson series. She can control the mist to a small degree and uses it to convince everyone in Swift's class that she has been there all year. She has silver hair and gray eyes, and weilds two short swords as her weapons. She saves Swift from a monster and tells him who his father is. Swift isn't trusting at first, but after a strange dream and a caduceus appears above his head. She and another character bring Swift safely to camp.

Some time later, she is attacked and almost killed by a hydra and Swift travels to the Underworld to save her. When Swift makes it back to camp, she thanks him with a kiss on thr forehead; but Erika and Malcolm burst into the room before anything else can happen. Her first name is just a name I thought of off the top of my head, but the last name Snow comes from the Snow Owl, matching her hair and the fact that Athena's symbol is an owl.

Malcolm Archer


Malcolm is a son of Apollo and provides a balance to Swift's full speed ahead attitude. While Swift normally runs into battle, Malcolm will hang in the back and pick off monsters from a distance. He also has the ability to transform anything he touches into the shape of an arrow, something that only a few children of Apollo have ever had. He joins Swift on his quest to save Megan after the hydra attack and is hinted that he has gone on quests before with Swift. It is also hinted that he has a crush on Erika, but just like his fighting style he holds himself back and watches as things unfold. He is almost killed by a hell hound while trying to save Megan and is biten by one when pushing Swift out of the way. His name comes from the character Malcolm Reynolds from Firefly, but I changed the last name to hit a son of Apollo.

Erika Plume


Erika is a daughter of Demeter. She specializes in medical plants, but can use vines and thorns as weapons. Because she has a strong connection with the Earth, she falls asleep when flying in the air making her unable to ride a pegasus. She also is very skilled at maing new plants that she can use when need by carrying around the seeds of those plants (including rapidly growing thorn vines and a glow-in-the-dark plant that raps around your arm). She has a crush on Malcolm and gets very embarrassed when she ends on sleeping on his shoulder. I thought of her name while playing Pokemon combining the gym leader Erika and her pokemon Vileplume.
