Haley and Percy have been cited as the 'same age' and share several character traits, though they are by no means the same person. Riordan has said that Percy Jackson's original character was 'inspired by my son's own struggle' at school. Riordan received input on the manuscript from some of his students before taking the idea of Percy Jackson to a publisher. Haley then suggested it be written as a novel. This led Riordan to create the fictional character of Percy Jackson and the story of his travels across the United States to recover Zeus's lightning-bolt. When his father ran out of ideas, Haley suggested that he make up new stories that combined existing mythological characters with new ones. When Haley was in and he was studying, he asked his father to tell him based on those myths.
