Perseus Delony

### Family

Zeus Delony, Bacchus Delony(deceased), Asclepius Delony(deceased), Medusa Delony(deceased)

## Childhood

Perseus was born into the D. family, a wealthy but very corrupt and greedy group of individuals. Each with very their own views on how things should be and how they should be treated, they all believe themselves higher than others. Perseus has two brothers and one sister. Bacchus the oldest, now deceased, an avid lover of food and drink, he was the family's private investigator. Asclepius and Medusa the twins. The middle children of the family, Asclepius is wise and knowledgeable on medicine, he is especially obsessed with snakes and antivenom after an accident as a young boy which left his voice wounded. Medusa is very care free, often staying in many aspects of life. Doing what ever she must to keep herself safe, she often stay by the side of Asclepius and is very easy to influence to due her care free nature. She also is the only member of the family that knows Asclepius's big secret involving Perseus.

While the rest of the family were raised and treated well within the family manor, Perseus was raised in one of the farm houses by his mother. His father never spoke to him and only ever sent maids or servants to the farm when ever he needed something of Perseus's mother. His brothers and sister never truly treated him well, Bacchus being the only one who would ever spend time with him, mostly to play fight or poke fun at him. Bacchus didn't necessarily love Perseus, but he didn't hate him. That role was left to Asclepius, he would often belittle and bully Perseus in any way possible. It wouldn't be wrong to call a lot of what Asclepius did shy of torture to the poor boy. Medusa being her, didn't much care. She would mostly join in due to her being so easily influenced. This all stemmed from the fact that Perseus was born under a different mother to the rest. Given their status and wealth it left an amount of resentment towards him from not being pure in the family's eyes.

By the time Perseus has reaches the age of Eight his mind had been twisted and torn, knowing nothing but unkindness and hatred from even his own mother, who resented him for even being born. She would often tell him "you're the downfall of my life" to remind him of the burden he was to her. To cope with all that he had to deal with, Perseus would often take out his rage and anger on smaller animals, mostly cats and dogs. He would take them out to the corn fields on family property and do various crooked and evil things to them, ranging from just a small beating to outright skinning them alive with nothing but a butter knife.

This would continue right up until the age Twelve when surprisingly to Perseus, his mother had decided it was time for them both to leave the D. family behind and start a life of their own. On the day of leaving his was strangely requested to be seen at the family manor, this had not happened for at least five years at this point. None the less his mother went over and came out accompanied by his uncle Stan, who was recently married into the family. When Perseus spoke to his mother she seemed off and he asked what went on inside the house. She quickly brushed it off saying his brother Asclepius just wanted a quick chat and farewell drink before informing her that Stan would help getting them to their destination. When they arrived at the station his mother had begun to look pale and was swaying slightly while standing up. While they were all stood at the platform waiting on a train, Perseus did not understanding what was wrong and was curious so asked if she was okay. Out of no where she burst into blind rage at him and Perseus returned in kind, Both screaming and shouting at each Perseus gave her a small shove. How ever being in the state she was this small shove affected her so much worse and she ended up falling onto the tracks, unfortunately this was right as a train was coming through the station. Perseus tried to reach out and grab his mother but it was already too late, Stan grabbed and held him back so as to stop falling himself. Perseus fell to his knees, at that moment his already cracked mind shattered into a million pieces. Never truly knowing the feeling of loss and becoming so broken minded, Perseus became a mess on the floor of both distorted laughing and constant tear shedding.

## Time in America

Perseus would spend several years in America travelling and killing as he did so. He would no longer go by his birth name due to the amount distain he felt toward his family and gave himself a new one; Pippy D.

At the age of 18 he arrived out west, where he would cause much mania. He would prowl the streets of a city kidnapping victims left, right and centre. He'd take them to cornfields just outside the city, where just like back home with animals. He would brutalise them, often with an ornate machete. A personal favourite of his would be to take them to a high bridge and throw them off, down to their rocky death below.

This would continue for several months and his name would be known throughout the west as someone to avoid. One moment in particular that shot his name even higher into notoriety would come in the city he was so fond of, When one night the Law were hot on his tail. He somehow manage to capture several Law on a rooftop with several civilians watching from below, they eventually overwhelmed him and he tried to run, heading towards the corn fields with several people on his tail. As he entered the field he could hear one the people following him call out to the others "Well I'm not following him in there". Regardless four brave souls attempted to capture him in the field but he managed to turn the tables and take them down instead. Escaping to continue his brutality.

Eventually Law would start to catch up with the lad, one in particular Red Y'ango, would always manage to thwart his plans or escape his clutches much to Pippy's dismay. Then one day he decided to do something a little different. He gathered a small crew of people and took a Sherriff hostage to his bridge, Now coined as Pippy's Pass. He also took an Oil wagon as he thought about doing something twisted to the Lawman. However Law were on to him now and caught up to him and his small group on the bridge, where on the under side things would take a turn. The group he had put together turned out to not be as trust worthy as he once thought and they turned on him. Surrounded and out numbered by not only Law but his own group, Pippy opted to jump from the bridge himself, not before killing one of the traitors who stood between him and the ledge. He fell to the rocky cold waters below and was never found.

## A Brief Homecoming

Not long after the incident on the bridge Pippy was found by none other than his Uncle Stan, who nursed back to travelling health, to then take him home. Due to his uncles lack of Doctor knowledge Pippy was left with a brutal scar on the left side of his face. During this time his brother Bacchus travelled to Pippy's last known location in the west of America and caused some disturbances of his own, in hopes of retrieving information about his Younger brother.

Upon returning to his home in the UK, Pippy was nursed back to full health over several months by private doctors that worked for his father. Once well enough his Father summoned him to discuss the happenings of his time across the water. Pippy, being afraid of the other members of his family (especially his Father) Disclosed everything that happened in detail. Once he'd heard enough his Father demanded a demonstration to see what the boy could do. He ordered Pippy to kill the man that saved his life with nothing but a butter knife, right in front of him. Pippy's fear getting the better him, he did not hesitate to follow his Fathers instructions.

After more time had passed Pippy's Father sent him back to Western America to not only rid himself of the boy but with instructions to "show him what else he could do". Not long after this he would also send Pippy's other brother and his sister (Asclepius and Medusa) to the same place to keep and eye on him.

## Return and Incarceration

Upon Pippy's return to the west he became more brutal and ruthless than ever before, fuelled by not only his fear but his hatred toward his family, he would take out these frustrations on his victims. Person after person would fall to his blood stained machete. Of which he had quite the mess to go through to retrieve. A man named Damian Rayson had found and kept the machete as a sort of trophy. Pippy saw this as a sign of utter disrespect and had every intention of brutalising the man who dared. After some time had passed and many killings, Pippy had amounted a bounty worth $30,000, this turned every where he went into non stop paranoia, eventually Law caught him on a blistering afternoon and sentenced him to life in prison. During this time his Beloved machete was passed through many hands, eventually landing in the possession of someone he least expected. A random woman who he knew little of but was well aware she was the Fiancé to Damian Rayson, the man he intended to kill.

While Pippy was in prison someone poisoned his Eldest brother Bacchus. This was upsetting for him to hear once informed as Bacchus was the only sibling that would take any time to spend with Pippy as a boy and upon hearing about his brother, broke down for the first time in many years, swearing revenge upon his brothers killer. This incident would be the fuel that lit the fire to his escape. During his time in prison Pippy would be visited by the Lawman that always eluded him, Red Y'ango. However Pippy would notice that Red would never come alone, he always Had a woman with him, Barbara Dunkin. Over several months he would send mail to friends he had on the outside and hatch his plan to escape, part of his plan even being fuelled by Barbara herself when she handed him a revolver, little did she know of the bigger part she had to play in this plan. One fateful night things were put into motion when his friends swept up Barbara and took her to the prison where they would gather at the gates and wait for the Law, Specifically Red to come save his lady. When they did show up there was little resistance once Red saw what was a stake And Pippy was released upon the world once more.

## Free for a Time

Upon his release Pippy would leave the west in search of his brothers killer. And after sending and receiving mail from back home, he would piece together exactly who it was. His brother Asclepius followed by his sister Medusa, who were always jealous of their eldest. Pippy chased them across America eventually catching up with them and taking them both. He'd find a nice high bridge and bring both of them there to question them about why. He'd kneel over them, taunt them. Only to find out all they wanted was a better chance at inheritance from their father. He'd heard enough and without emotion or hesitation, he picked up Medusa, walked in front of his brother so he could watch and smiled at him as Pippy threw her to her death. He knelt down in front of his brother once more with a huge grin on his face, his brother pleaded and begged for forgiveness. Pippy smiled at him and simply said "I'll forgive you in just a minute". Pippy then immediately grab his brother and threw him from the bridge as if he were throwing trash in a bin.

After a short time of soaking in the view from the bridge and looking at his mangled siblings below Pippy walked down to where they lay, a smile on his face, humming a tune to himself. He grabbed their mangled bodies by the back of their clothing and dragged them to the nearest Law office throwing them inside, still continuing to smile and hum his tune, he was arrested and sent back to prison. He would be sentenced to isolation in an underground cell where no one could reach him. He would stay there in isolation for several years.

## Ruthless County (present Day)

It's been Six years since Perseus avenged his brother. All this time locked in his cell, minimum food and water, no sunlight, minimum interaction. But during this time he reflected on his actions, his family. He came to realise that in all this time with no killing, no blood soaked hands, he didn't need to do it. He realised he could do so much more. He figured he shouldn't have to hide behind a made up name all his life, that he doesn't need to fear his family any more. His father could no longer reach him, otherwise he would have heard something by now. He decided going forward he would embrace himself, his heritage. He mentally threw off the name of Pippy as if it were weighted clothing and accepted himself for who he is, Perseus Delony.

One night Perseus heard a loud explosion. Turns out he was not the only highly wanted and dangerous criminal in this prison. This other soul must have had friends unlike Perseus, as he could hear gun fire and several other explosion going off around different areas above him. During all this Perseus was sheltering in his hands, his only other cell mate, a small spider who he'd sing to occasionally the old children's rhyme of incy wincy spider. Suddenly while resting on his bed playing with his friend, Perseus heard the locks on his door clicking and clanging. And then it opened, a random inmate dressed in his prisoner stripes had set him free. Perseus climbed the stairs toward the exit, he could feel the breeze of air flowing down the stairwell. All the while he could still hear shots going off all around the prison. When he finally reached the exit the whole place was like a warzone, he quickly released his little friend into some nearby grass and bolted for cover. He saw the hole in the wall where the first explosion came from and ran for it. Once out he spotted quickly a nearby prison transport wagon and made his escape heading west with new goals in mind. and a huge smile on his face once again.
