Perseus Bosheks, more commonly just called Percy, is one of the smaller, younger Gods of Kapsia. They built their home on Apherion Hill with the rest of the original Apherion members but they are often found residing elsewhere. They are often seen around others trying to make themself useful.

They are shown to be very caring and emotional, often adjusting to leader positions when necessary because of their duties and responsibilities previously on Apherion. Percy likes being friendly with everyone and tries to meet everyone new in Kaspia since they were part of the first wave of newcomers.

However, once you start to really get to know them, you see things start to slip through the cracks of their waxy skin. Percy is literally hot-headed and usually acts irrationally when they are upset. They are seen struggling with grief for the entire year period in Kaspia. Once becoming a god and losing their grandfather they are shown struggling to keep the climate as it was and often caused severe thunderstorms. It is also noted that when they become angry as a god, they are able to burn and hurt others.

One of the biggest effects Percy had on the atmosphere was making it night for 5 days straight and turning the moon into a blood lunar eclipse following Jay’s death.

However, when Daimon revived himself after 10 days he fixed these issues and promised to help Percy control their new powers.

Percy is often seen the most with Daimon, Jay, Quartz, and now Akino and Roe. However, lately they try to keep to themself…it is unknown at this time why.

## Physiology

### Appearance

Percy is a 5’1 candle-demon with pale ivory skin made of wax and fire for hair. Originally they had two metal beads they could put two front pieces of their hair through, but recently they discarded this attribute. They have been seen wearing a variety of outfits but all of these outfits usually consist of a sweater of some kind. Currently they wear a blue sweater with clouds on it made by their mother Akino with grey-brown jean shorts under it. They have worn the same boots since they arrived to Kaspia and pairs it with blue thick socks.

Following Daimon’s death they are seen with red-orange waxy horns on their head, one being smaller than the other and a tail made of fire. This seems to mimic the appearance of Basalt Demons.

Percy’s hair was originally a white-blue flame until they stepped into rain and turned their core temperature cooler, resulting in a more candle like flame appearance. Their white hair returned shortly after staying indoors but went back to yellow-orange permanently after their death.

It is also known that when Percy cries, they cry glowing wax that melts their face resulting in tear scars. These scars can be healed through wax and magic.

### Biology

Percy’s biology is skeptical to most, especially to Percy themself. With the help of Roman, they deducted that percy has interal organs like humans- they're just made of wax and honeycombs. The only signs of age Percy’s body has is through melting.

They were created by the goddess, Akino to oversee her people on Apherion because she could not. Akino created them with soul sand, a lightning rod, a candle, and a piece of her soul. The goddess failed 6 times before having success on a stormy night when she added a piece of herself to the mix and lightning struck.

Percy was 16 when the Apherions came to Kaspia but their birthday passed over the summer, making them 17.

Before their death, Percy could barely stand outside when it rained and never even put a foot into water. After their death and after they became a god it is shown they can withstand rain and water a little better.

## Personality

Percy presents themself as cheery and bright to newcomers and friends. However below their cheery surface they are hurting, badly. They’ve always struggled with grief starting with their adoptive father Ivory all the way to their brother Jay who recently passed. As the year progressed, Percy became more and more independent, going from hanging out with their family/friends everyday to seeing them once in a while.

They are also easily angered and protective of their loved ones.

## History

### Childhood

Percy was dropped onto Apherion, the floating city, a week after they were created. Akino left them with a man whom she trusted, Ivory Mars. He was a quiet man who usually buried himself in book and research. The people of Apherion only heard of vague stories of Akino, but Ivory being a historian and researcher, knew who she was and gladly accepted to take care of her creation. Percy does not remember any of this.

Jay came into Percy’s life a year later as a baby lamb in a blanket. Jay was left on Ivory’s doorstep and being the kindhearted person he is, Ivory made room for him in his home. Percy thought of Jay as their brother ever since.

Apherion had been struggling for a while before Percy arrived. Ivory brought Percy to take care of the sick, replant the crops, and other business soon after he adopted them. That was Percy’s purpose.

A few years later, two siblings ran into Percy and Jay called Avi and Zoey. The four became fast friends. It was also at this time where Ivory got sick and Percy started looking after both him and Jay. Ivory still tried his hardest to pass on his knowledge to Percy, as their favorite activity was sitting with their dad in the basement and reading all of his books on magic and nature.

When Percy was 9 Ivory passed on. They tried their hardest to shield Jay from grief and gave him a happy childhood. It was hard though, the Apherion population was rapidly declining and the grass started to wither with no promise of being revived.

For the next 5 years Jay, Avi, Zoey, and Percy survived while everyone around them started dying. Their bond kept them alive.

### Kaspia

On November 20th, 2021 everything changed. The quartet remarked how the food was so scarce and the water situation was even worse. Jay had been antsy for a while, he wanted to leave Apherion. The four had no idea how to even do that, there were magic barriers around the floating island and the surface below seemed like a void. Ivory had only passed on stories saying the world below was destroyed. They go back and forth on this notion for a while.

They decide to head into the big tree on the main island, which had an abandoned library below. They searched for something that might help them come to a conclusion of some kind. Then they noticed there was a gap in the barrier under library.

They found a book there, saying things about this “Akino”, how they fled a place called Kaspia and she took her followers with her and made the islands. The author did not trust her and left two boats and a compass to Kaspia with them.

The four bicker again until Zoey manages to convince them the only way they’d live is to fall, and she jumps first followed by Jay, then Percy, then Avi. This was Percy’s first experience with the ocean. Falling into nearly killed them right there until Jay pulled them up into his boat.

They followed the compass to a small village with a god hovering around named Daimon, who welcomed the four wholeheartedly. There was no sign of this person named Akino.

The four created housing on a hill, which they dubbed Apherion Hill.

### Finding Themself

The Quartet soon separated off finding their own things to deal with. For the first time in years Percy had been left to their own devices. It was a lonely couple of weeks, but they had finally gone exploring. Kaspia had a rich history and with it left ruins. They had found notes left to other family, and wondered if they too had a biological family. They were left to think existentially, where did they come from? They couldn’t remember.

This lead them to feel dread for days, even when Zoey invited them to a gathering to reconnect. Percy left the party early and walked until they found another ruin. This contained information on the twin gods Akino and Adaliah. Percy didn’t understand why they felt this connection to them. They decided to leave to go home but instead got lost and found a ruined house- and Daimon who revealed that this house was Akino’s. Percy found Akino’s old journal there and being curious, decided to read it. This book lead the two to a gazebo in the middle of a forest, which gave them another book and a compass. This lead them to a small clearing littered with amethyst shards, soul sand, wither roses, and discarded candles. In this area there was a hidden room that contained a book describing how Akino created life.

After six attempts, she was successful. This experiment resulted in Percy, which was confirmed by their name being stated in the book and finding a name tag with their name in another hidden chest.

Percy thought Daimon would be upset to find they were related but he was elated. Daimon even showed them April’s tower, just told them not to read any of her book and gave them April’s disc after Percy revealed it was their favorite song. The two left after watching the sunrise on the roof and they had been inseparable ever since.

### Akino

Now that Percy had finally found out who had created them, it was time to find her. Akino was tricky to find though, she preferred to stay hidden. Jay spoke up about seeing her though and took Percy to see the hidden room under her house. There Percy had found the books Akino had written saying that her power was weakening and her memory was fading. She apologized to Percy in the book saying how she may not remember them if they ever come to Kaspia. This is where we see Percy cry for the first time.

Eventually Percy found Akino, who was not expecting anyone to find her at all. It took a lot of time, but Akino and Percy began to mend their relationship, even living together for a short while after it rained for the first time in Kaspia in years (hurting Percy in the process). However not long after Percy left their shared cottage to deal with some personal things.

### The Scar

Percy does not get into into fights with their bother often. However, they were truly angry was when Jay and Daimon kept the truth of Daimon's scarring a secret. They were in disbelief of their little brother being capable of that kind of destruction. When Daimon finally told them after Percy snuffed out his lie, they yelled at Daimon for it and accidentally slipped and called him Ivory. This shows how much Percy really cares about Daimon, thinking of him as their father.

They confronted Jay about it, leading into a massive argument. Daimon had front row seats to this blow up and the two fighting caused him to phase out of reality. This scared the siblings and once Daimon was back, he freaked out and ran away. Percy looked for him and found a compass leading to an old home. Percy found Daimon here and he explained how he handles emotions and his past as the Watcher. When Daimon finished his speech he thought Percy would be scared of him, want to never talk to him again. But Percy said that they could never be scared of him and that they love them and stayed by his side.

### MossSMP

Percy decided to ask Roman if they could go to his SMP for a while to get away from Jay. Roman agrees and takes them through the portal that connects the two worlds. Surprisingly, Percy looks like a human in MossSMP, like April to be exact. They found a candle titled “half of you” in their inventory. They assume the portal must have messed up their form.

Percy did not speak to Jay for months until the Spring Festival where they made amends. It was also during the Spring Festival that Percy revealed to have a queer platonic relationship with Delane, a human from MossSMP, and was able to lead them through the portal for the festival.

### Nova

Everything was peaceful for Percy for a month, until they met the Star Overseer, Nova. Nova told them that their soul was “fucked up” and doted on how interesting they were. Percy travelled around with Nova looking through their eyes (Nova does not have a body, only a disembodied voice) and found that Akino’s six failed attempts to make life still had…souls trapped in them. Percy breaks the bonds with the trapped souls and their ‘bodies’. They begin to wonder if their mother is the best person.

Percy brings their mother to Nova the next day to see what Nova would have to say after that endeavor, and it’s revealed that Akino had been keeping several secrets from Percy. One was how sick she actually was, Nova said she would die soon which caused chaos between the goddess and her child. Despite being angry, Percy promises that they would do anything in their power to help their mother.

Nova also told Percy the time of their death.

### Delane's Death

Percy decides to go to MossSMP again because they know that Roman, who lives there, is a researcher and scientist. However upon arriving they witness the death of their partner Delane, who has also been seemingly lying about his health to Percy. After this Percy returns to Kaspia, heartbroken.

### The Dinner

The next day Roman and Daimon invite Percy to a family dinner with Jay. What they also didn’t realize is that both sisters, Akino and Adaliah would be there as well. The sisters are just as surprised and of course, the dinner ends up in an argument between the two. Percy is disappointed in their mother’s reaction, numb while watching their family be ripped apart by words. Jay offhandedly mentions that he isn’t doing too well physically and Percy feels hopeless. Everyone around them that they love seemed to be dying.

### Quartz

Once returning to their house they decided to revisit the first godly book they found back in January. There they were surprised to meet an archivist named QuartzMoth. The two became fast friends as Quartz was a moth and Percy, a light.

### Hush

Percy decided to visit their other friend, Hush at this time to see how he was doing as well. They finally decided to open up about their troubles to him, Hush being the only person to ever hear Percy’s rants after keeping these feelings and thoughts locked away. Hush could have helped them, reassure them, but instead he heightened these bad feelings. Hush successfully convinced Percy that their family was nothing but evil Gods, and their mother created them for a purpose doomed to fail and that’s why Akino still never talks to them.

Percy had never felt so angry before. Hush’s words made so much sense to them, Akino had never explained herself to them before. She was just as bad as expressing her emotions as her child. Percy thought of when she left them on Apherion, finding out she didn’t remember them, how they had barely spoken when all they wanted was a mom that loved them. It clouded their vision, their skin started boiling. They were melting and soon enough they melted on the spot and everything went black.

#### Death

Percy woke up under an endless sky with floating stars. Their limbo resembles the rebirth sequence from the game Sky Children of the Light.

A door shone at the end of a path, anxiously waiting for them to return to life. But Percy sat quietly, for two months. It was revealed that they found their lost fox’s soul in this void and they were glad they weren’t alone.

#### Rebirth

Finally though, they stepped back into reality. They were giddy from suddenly feeling everything again at once, laughing maniacally that it seemed nothing had changed. The first thing they did was meet up with Quartz, who had told them she had just came back from death after being murdered by Daimon. Percy laughed at this news once hearing Quartz had sacrificed someone. Sacrifices were strictly forbidden in Kaspia following the sacrifice of April, Daimon’s first child. Percy didn’t blame Daimon but still pities Quartz.

Percy refused to talk to Daimon or Akino, pretending it was out of anger but in reality they were scared of what they would say to them. Surely they noticed they died. Percy started seeing hallucinations of Daimon everywhere they went until they finally walked up to his house and discovered the real Daimon, feeling just as delirious and insane as them. Percy remarks how they couldn’t stay mad at Daimon, they loved him more than anything and it hurt them seeing their grandfather so hopeless. He had never acted this way before. Percy suppressed their feelings once again to reassure Daimon. Daimon also tells them that Percy is not supposed to feel so much because they “are a god” and that’s why they died, but Percy laughs saying that’s silly.

However their maniac personality returned when revisiting MossSMP. Roman asks repeatedly if they were okay, saying they look different. One of their eyes is now yellow and part of their hair is glowing. Sylva (one of the goddesses of that land) says Percy is not themself and seems scared of them. Percy laughs and laughs, until Prime is summoned. Roman tells Prime of the predicament and Percy explains that they feel “less, not whole”. Prime tries to reach into their soul but to everyone’s surprise, Prime’s projected form disappears entirely before coming back a few seconds later. Prime says there is something deeply wrong with them. Both Percy and Roman see hallucinations of Delane. Percy is not concerned and laughs about it but Roman is very worried.

### Godhood

Percy returns to Kaspia to find it raining again. They try weaving through trees to get to Quartz’ house, they were terrified of being alone again in the rain. The rain took its toll on them though, by the time they reached Quartz’ house on the complete other side of center Kaspia they were just about unconscious. Quartz helps them and notices the blatant disregard for self health that Percy has developed, seeing them run through rain. Percy is now staying over Quartz’ house, finding a new sense of security with her. A mother they never had.

It started raining on and off and Percy knew something was wrong with Daimon. They offered their grandfather help, Percy’s already a demigod. They could take over some of his godly duties to help him destress. Daimon was skeptical at first, he told them about his argument with Avi and how they had asked Daimon the same thing. Percy said he would not force him to come to any conclusion, only that they wanted to help. After hearing this Daimon agreed and showed them the heart of Kaspia. Percy is now referred to as a god: the god of creation, comfort, and eternal flame.

Daimon helps Percy with their powers, they have a bit of a bonding experience. It is shown that Percy can summon objects and creatures. They have a hard time controlling this at first. The express how happy they were to be with Daimon and Daimon says that after so long, he feels happy too.

### Falling Apart

The next day Percy arrives to Daimon’s house empty, despite his wish to see them. Shortly after their arrival they see Avi surface the water, looking spooked. Avi reveals that they killed Daimon to get the heart- and power for their family. Percy was shell shocked, the most heartbroken they had been in their whole life. They yell at Avi and get so angry that they actually burn them. Avi leaves quickly after.

Percy is left to burden all of Daimon’s jobs by themself. This includes raising the sun and the moon, keeping the weather clear, taking care of the animals, checking in with each kaspia member, and more. Percy had barely had grasp on their powers and struggled to keep the sun and the moon on cycle. It rained multiple times during this period. Percy tried to do everything perfectly though, for Daimon.

On the first day, Quartz came by looking for Daimon. Percy had to tell her what had happened. Percy thought to themself how they were so use to people dying but they were not use to telling others that someone they cared about died. Quartz asked how it happened to which Percy realized they had no idea, only that Avi did it.

The rest of the week went on, Percy didn’t sleep. The tasks at hand were too much to handle, they couldn’t rest. On the sixth day Jay came by also looking for Daimon. Percy decided that they had to tell their brother what had happened. Jay took this badly, and the illness stated previously got worse due to stress. Jay had died in Percy’s arms.

Following their brother’s death, Percy gave up doing Daimon’s tasks. They let it be night time permanently and the moon reflected their grief as a blood lunar eclipse. It was almost beautiful.

### Daimon's Revival

Daimon revived himself the 10th day after he died and found the world and Percy in disarray. Daimon fixed the world, like he always does and took the weight off of Percy’s shoulders. He took them to find Avi and replaced the Heart of Kaspia in its rightful place. During this Percy argued with Avi until Daimon came back.

### The Deep Dark

Quartz came to find Percy to take a trip with her. She wanted to help them feel useful again and just wanted to hang out with her friend. She had randomly received a compass leading to a place called the Deep Dark. Neither of them had heard of this place. After a day of travel the duo came across an abandoned village and a mineshaft. This lead to a tunnel deep underground, pitch black except for Percy’s natural light.

Percy and Quartz explored until Percy saw a spider spawner and told Quartz to stay put so she could be safe. Percy killed the spiders and destroyed the spawner, but noted how the mysterious substance in the Deep Dark spread onto them when they did.

They found a lone survivor caved in named Deon, who had no recollection of anything. They took them up to Kaspia.

After this trip, Percy started having sensitivity to bright lights and temperature that were not previously there.

### Helping Akino

Percy and Akino had been on rocky terms for the last 5 months. They had not spoken since the talk with Nova and Akino didn’t even know Percy had died. Percy found where Akino was residing but did not enter because they knew they were not allowed to know where Akino was, but they had no idea why. However, they decided enough was enough and found Akino sickly and hiding away in her basement. Percy was furious with her still, but they could not stomach another one of their family members dying. They dragged their mother out of her house and found Peri, who helped revive her to her best state.

After this, Percy told Akino everything that had happened in the past 5 months. Akino was shell shocked, but Percy got up to leave after they were finished. Akino stopped them and Percy opened up about how they were feeling and the reason why they died. Percy thought Akino didn’t care about them, that the only reason they were created was to watch over people destined to die and they were obsolete to their mother. Akino was heartbroken about this and reassured them that wasn’t the case but Percy said they couldn’t trust her. Percy gave her the option to be there for them in the future and that is how she can earn back their trust. Percy returned home for the first time since before they died after this.

### The Sculk

When Percy woke up the next morning they noticed their house was covered in…sculk. They had no idea how they now knew the name of the glowing stuff in the Deep Dark but they did and it was everywhere.

Percy started feeling groggy and dissociative, their house was darkened due to their light issue and they didn’t go outside much during this time.
