Percy was raised by a mother who adored him. Who fell for Posiedon and him in turn, she turned down riches and a life of paradise. Sally loves Percy loved him despite the difficulties in her life, even marrying a monster to sheild him from his heritage.
Jason was raised by a mother who saw him as a byproduct of being with Jupiter. Who loved the idea of falling for the King of God's and loved him when he saw her as another mortal to sleep with. She may have cared for him but she didn't live him enough to try to keep him and left him as baby.
Percy went through his life an outcast, a bullied werid kid who sat at the back of the class. Who had anger issues and yet was kinder than the world ever was to him, who defended those like him and never tried to hide who he was.
Jason went through his life an outcast, a feral smart kid who had way to much responsibility and pressure pushed onto his shoulders even before coming to camp. Who had no choice to what he wanted to be, carving himself to be what they wanted. And spent a life time convincing himself it was what he wanted.
Percy who finds strength in his friends and while he doesn't quite know what to think of his father... His powers fuel him. They are Percy's, they allow him to save his friends and while he's still figuring then out they are a part of him he accepts easily.
Jason who finds strength in his allies but knows deep down he has to rely on himself alone. He's taught his powers mark him as Jupiter's son, but finds no comfort in them. They scare him, everytime he's reminded of their danger... Of a woman's smile on a stormy night. Jason finds he hates them, for they show everything he could and doesn't wish to be.
Percy who makes a name for himself in camp from his heritage initially and even his feats... Its who he is that makes him beloved. Who's a reluctant leader but never loses his way. He's firm on his path, he is Percy Jackson and he's not alone. He cares for his camp mates like a family and will protect them to the end.
Jason who makes a name for himself in camp from the day Lupa announced his name. Nothing he does seems to make a dent, Jupiter's son is his only defining feature and only thing anyone acknowledges about him. (Maybe that's why he lists off his feats in important fights, not because he's vain but maybe so someone will acknowledge him as simply Jason Grace.) Who's a soilder in a faceless army, fighting his way as he's ordered.
Percy who has unwavering loyalty.
Jason who has only known betrayal and abandonment.
Percy who laughs and jokes about life all the whole knowing exactly who he is.
Jason who spends his nights cramped in a bed, walks in the day in shoes and tries to hide he's imperfections.
Percy who reaches a hand towards Jason.
Jason who brushes it off and regrets it instantly.
Percy who teaches Jason what it's like to have bonds, to be free and embrace who you are.
Jason who teaches Percy what it's like to focus, to keep your cool, to know your own limits and surpass them.
Percy being one of the first true friends Jason ever has, making sure he's safe and constantly making sure he's included. It breaks his heart and makes him enraged that Jason looks so out of place when faced with kindness.
Jason saving Percy from falling into Tartarus, knowing its against everything he knows but it being the first decision he's ever made for himself.
Percy having to focus on the mission yes but prioritising Jason's wellbeing before everything else, spitting in the face of the King himself when he berates them for it.
