APPEARANCES Play-By Cillian Murphy Description Perseus is a modestly handsome man with a smooth and peach toned complexion. Standing about six feet tall even he is a lithe man who inherited his fathers gaunt frame, but his mothers cherubic quality softens his features. Percy has dark black hair, blue eyes, and all the assured sensibilities of a Wizard who knows himself superior to most. Even as outcasts to the Black family like his father and his father before him, the bloodline is strong in him, and fortunate is he their magical aptitude followed. Dark and flowing cloth do much to accentuate a seemingly regal form. And in all matters he stands tall as a stoic arbiter of the Wizarding community. PERSONALITY Likes Competition, Magic, Riddles, Wizards Chess, Dark Chocolate, Pumpkin Juice Dislikes Criticism, Inferiority, Gambling, Divination, White Chocolate, the Black Family Fears Losing Magic, Being Forgotten ------------ Description Perseus is a Black through and through. Perhaps without the persecution and disdain of all muggles, muggleborns, and half-bloods, but surely he holds the spirit of the house his fathers line descends from. Loyal, proud, passionate, and charismatic if not for his origin of birth, hed have been a beloved member of the family. Driven to greatness by an innate sense of self he is very sure of who he is as a Wizard, Perseus has never needed or regarded any other persons belief about him. Though he is sore when it comes to matters of criticism he is also silent and patient in matters he deems worthy of action. Like many sorted into Slytherin he has the potential to be vindictive and petulant when his ego is wounded. A barbed tongue may be a great weapon but has done much to isolate him from people in his life. A stubborn personality he has his firm beliefs and his goals. In turn he can be easily turned to jealousy over a seemingly larger perception of self, thus frequently required to realize perspective and disappointment. Perseus also has inherited his mothers sensitive and caring nature. While he keeps a very strong front behind the ego and pride, there is a trustworthy man who embraces magic as it is intended. Perhaps a noble soul in a way only a Slytherin can be Perseus loyalty and passion are difficult to truly rival or understand. A stoic personality he seeks to better himself by learning and education always. In turn he has become something of a charming and mystifying figure, when the proper opportunity arises. But know that the mixture of his qualities will turn him into a relentless man when what he holds dearest to him threatened. In turn all the goodness he may have Perseus is still a man and his sensitivity to his pride will not drive him to find justice. When angered or incited to similar furor, he is a vengeful figure. It is a vengeance that rears an ugly side out of gathering the worst of his personality into a poisonous drought. HISTORY Always pure, the motto of the Black Family it is because of this belief many who chose to stain their legacy with the blood of Muggles were disowned by the family. For Perseus Black he is one of a few such figures who had kept the paternal line. From his Great-Great-Great Grandfather Serpens Black, a squib, to his father Corvus Black born a muggle, Perseus was never considered a valid member of the family, nor is properly acknowledged for that matter. But he still held the name and legacy from birth but most importantly the first in four generations to be born with magic. Corvus Black married a young seamstress Cordelia Thatcher in London, England and there they started family. First was a boy Perseus and ten years later a young girl Lyra. Both children to their fathers surprise were gifted with magical potential, and the first time in over a hundred years a descendant of Serpens would learn the ways of Magic. Growing up Perseus enjoyed a modest home in the world of Muggles. Not inclined to wealth the familial legacy did not translate to the modern world. This made no difference as he had been loved by his mother, and his father instilled the pride necessary of a Black wizard. However there is one fortune to him as Serpens inheritance passed down the male line, and each son insured that the small boon would remain safe in Gringotts. It was Perseus and Lyras destiny to inherit this so that they might bring honor to their names. Marauder Era 1971-1978 Perseus attends Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, and is sorted into the Slytherin house to the surprise of his peer. He was a rare muggle-born not even half-blood to be sorted into the house for over fifteen years. While he belongs to the house he is treated with similar indigence as the other houses by fellow Slytherin. In turn Percy learns early on to instill fear in them with charms and hexes. Eventually many Slytherin leave him be or are at the least cautious of crossing him, in turn he is of the more promising students of his year. During the time he attends school he also knows of his distant cousins Regulus and Sirius. What the other Blacks knowledge is of him or impression is unknown, but can be assumed the same that any Black holds against other non-purebloods. Post-Marauder Era 1978-???
