##### Arc One

Percy is a small, slightly sickly looking teenage boy. His face, unless acting, is often either slightly pissed off or rather miserable looking. There's freckles dotted across his face and shoulders. His eyes are yellow, close to gold, and slightly hollow looking, with deep circles underneath. His nose is slightly hooked. Three chunks of hair hang in his face, one down the middle and two down the sides. The rest either curls around mid-neck level, when he stands straight, or is pulled back into a braid that lands around his shoulder blades. His hair is limply curly, mostly messy and tangled from lack of care. He has a few inches of darker brown roots, but the rest is dyed blonde. Percy bares a striking resemblance of his father, really. Despite their utter lack of blood relation.

As a half-elf, he has longer, rounded-edge ears, and a tail with long, curling brown fur on the end. The ears are scarred, with nicks taken out of them: Two out of the bottom on the right side, and one out of the bottom and one out of the 'fold' of the ear on the left. Before talking to the Reaper in episode (ill do this later), he wore a red, dangling heart earring on his left ear. A while later, Eurydice bought him another earring, a smaller white crystal in the shape of a heart. He has been wearing this on the opposite ear since.

He has three scars across his right cheek, one jagged and thicker than the rest, reaching the bridge of his nose. The other two, one below the larger scar and one above, are far smaller. There's a mottled, spiderwebbing scar across his left hip that appears to be from some magical attack. The palms of his hands are also heavily scarred, and typically covered up by dark brown gloves.

He covers up almost all skin in general, wearing a grey button-up shirt tucked into darker brown pants with some patches across the knee. The pants are also tucked into the boots. Over everything, he wears a dark brown, oversized, visibly stitched up coat. The coat is torn and frayed at all ends, with two pockets on the outside and several more on the inside. He has an alternate coat, the King of Hearts' jacket, which he can wear over these clothes in the brown coat's place. He also wears a red bandana tied around his neck, also a bit frayed from wear.

##### Arc Two

Despite now having the ability to change up his clothes, Percy rarely actually does. He's kept the same brown gloves, though they have new silver buttons on the insides of the wrists, and seem to have metal 'claws' on the ends. His shirt is a lighter pink, with a pocket on the left side of the chest, normally covered by his jacket. The pants are similar, but without patches and slightly less red toned, with two belts. One is smaller, and a slightly lighter brown. The other is thicker and dark, with two silver half-loops that each form one half of a heart. The larger belt is lined with pink on the inside. It has a holster attached to it by silver buckles. His boots have half-heart spurs on them.

The coat he has is similar, but a warmer shade of brown, a sort of yellow-pink on the inside. It has two silver diamond/star shapes on the lapels, and the sleeves are rolled up a few times. There's a few stray pink, yellow and blue threads on the inside in rather sloppy embroidery, for practice. He still wears the white crystal heart, but now has a yellow star stud on the top of the opposite ear.

His hair is cleaner and more curly now, though a few inches longer. The unbraided part typically goes slightly past his shoulders, curling into his face, and the braid lands around the end of his shoulder blades. The blonde remains, though far lighter, nearly white, and the roots have grown out more.

His eyes have been described as 'difficult to look at.' The shadows under them got better at the beginning of the arc, but worsened quickly, and his eyes have settled solidly into looking haunted. Eye contact with him is a little uncomfortable.

As of Arc 2 Episode 14.5: What's Gone is Gone, he has a small curved scar across his left cheekbone, curling under his eye. His tail has a kink in it from being broken and not properly reset. He also has sort-of teeth scars from 'Spite's' hands, which were covered in 'teeth.' They are in large patches across the sides of both shoulders, reaching to his chest and to his back, across the back and sides of his neck, and around his right wrist.

### Arc Three

he turned on revenge party and got a new pronoun and worse.

### Personality

He's got a lot wrong with him i'm gonna keep ti real with you

Percy, like his father, is a liar. Unlike his father, he's actually good at it, and unlike his father, he cannot help but admit to his own lies. Consciously or unconsciously, he always fails to keep a lie going for as long as it should. This ends up being a rather large facet of his personality. Percy will lie, either straightforwardly or by simply withholding the truth when he shouldn't, but some strange guilt always makes him spill whatever secrets he tries to keep. He tries to protect himself from further harm by hiding himself away, but rarely actually succeeds at doing this, forming attachments rather quickly once given the chance to. Even if he does lie successfully, it typically isn't for his own benefit in the end. It will almost always be either to protect someone(more often his father than not), or because he wants to deal with a problem on his own(such as keeping signing his name on a document supposedly belonging to Pestilence a secret, or hiding infections). He will go to any length to keep a problem his own to deal with, even to the detriment of others.

Likely due to being raised by Antony of all people, Percy has a deep-rooted fear of weakness and failure. If forced to actually confront either of these things, he will have either a 'fight' or 'freeze' response--either lashing out or going silent and unresponsive. While he may be capable of taking responsibility for his own actions, and has in the past, he tends to default to taking full blame for those situations. Even ones that are in functionally no way his fault. Many of these situations will have something to do with his father, or simply the Card in general. He will do most anything to force the blame away from Antony, either by taking it onto himself, by insisting there has to be an explanation he's simply not aware of, or by excusing Antony's actions all together. When put into emotionally or physically harmful situations, especially ones involving Antony or behavior that reminds him of Antony, Percy will go through a cycle of desperate anger, silence or shutting down, and then self-villainization: Deciding he should have done something to keep the situation from escalating. He has an awful relationship with guilt. This has only gotten worse over the campaign, with Antony using these feelings to get Percy to agree with him when getting desperate, only making him struggle more with it.

OK ILL WORK ON IT MORE LATER

## History

### Prior to the events of Hourglass

Little is solidly known about Percy's life before the campaign, mostly because he avoids talking about it like it's the plague.

Supposedly, Percy met Antony, his adoptive father, when he was around 8 years old. Whatever his situation was beforehand, it likely wasn't the best, as he's joking remarked about Antony "technically kidnapping him" before with little care. Whatever happened, he lived with Antony, Miss Romeo, and Valerie until the day of his 15th birthday.

On the day of his 15th birthday, Antony reappeared after around 6 months of being functionally out of Percy's life--An admittedly somewhat common occurrence. For his present, he took him out to adopt a baby dragon, Cynnie, and took Percy along with him to an "important business meeting" with the other Kings. This meeting was primarily composed of the others being upset with Antony in some capacity. Percy was told to stay in their bedroom and stay quiet, and promptly managed one of these things: None of the Kings, Antony included, appeared to notice him sitting on the stairs and vaguely paying attention. The conversation wasn't incredibly out of the ordinary until a previously unnamed man, now known to be Brandy, entered the saloon and, with little fanfare, shot Antony in the chest. The other Kings fled immediately. Brandy left only after an extended period of time, as Percy, in shock and panicking, held his father until he died, burying him by hand in the aftermath.

At some point after this moment, Antony became Percy's patron, contacting him through barbie's dream world. He likely contacted him semi-regularly past this point, rather poorly instructing his grief-stricken son on what to do next. At a vague point in this timeline, Percy began living in an abandoned dragon roost until the events of the campaign, having been told to not return home.
