#percy and his mom don’t count we’re not separating families ok! just their personal stances on the mortal world generally

[malrie]

thinking of the seven as varying degrees of “one foot in, one foot out” when it comes to living in the mortal world and having jobs and paying rent out there versus new rome/chb. esp assuming new rome citizens or ex-legionnaires don’t get living stipends or whatever

jason - new rome apt but pays bills doing temp jobs in mortal world. is doin ok financially but only bc he lives so sparsely n is not a man of material wants but doesn’t mind treating himself with spontaneous purchases during grocery runs. would be friendly w all his neighbors.

piper - originally a “born comfortable” sort of girl but obviously is class conscious in an extensive sort of way lol. do think she moves from her dad’s and then into shel’s who prob is still the breadwinner while piper takes classes at the local community college more for personal edification than pursuit of education….queen of being taken care of. not a frequent demigod world returner.

leo - really smart w money bc he had none growing up. also super secretive about money also bc of how he grew up. doesn’t use banks. probably comes into more than most once he sells rights to his inventions/intellectual property in the mortal world. sort of flits between there and the camps.

percy - lower middle class warrior and content w it. rents a unit at the same apartment his mom lives. breadwinner annabeth is fine with him. gives him more time to chill at either nr or either camps. same job pool as jason but w a trade emphasis.

annabeth - once graduating, she works mainly in the mortal world for entry level pay which isn’t too much even as an associate those first few years. most of the work she ends up doing at olympus is either pro bono with gifts or paid thru godly favors which is fine w her. it’s how she helps finances jason’s new rome temple plans eventually. continues to work in mortal world for proper experience bc olympus doesn’t gaf abt city standard codes. lives w percy at his mortal apt building and she pays most of the rent.

hazel - really do just want her to sell uncursed gems and rocks and crystals and be a real granola girl about it. has little kiosk pop ups at the mall or something. she’s probably financially taken care of by either piper or annabeth or both so it’s fine if she never rly makes much from the business. likes to adventure out in the mortal world but sometimes comes back to be w people who get it back at camp or nr.

frank - probably going to be the only one of the seven who has a good enough credit score to put in a down payment for a house to own. i like to think he’s the office coworker you have that’s diligent and quiet but u ask him abt his weekend and he said he just came from an overseas jungle safari to check out some endangered animals he really likes. he’d prob like currently trendy things like run clubs and rock climbing.
