At A Glance

The Hallow’s librarian is a weedy little woman, slim of body and patience both, but broad of shoulder and of force of will. She manages to, at all times, stare with such a frightening intensity as to make one feel like they’ve been caught between the stacks with their hand in a packet of greasy, crumbly chips.While she is most definitely hyuran, she may have been some sort of a cat in a past life, and now has opposable thumbs and the ability to go in and out of as many doors as she likes and is very smug about the whole thing.

Notable Traits

✧ Their voice is calm, haughty, and lilting. Heavy on h sounds—husky. Slightly silvery. Rolls into a soft, low purr when they're thinking something over, then rings clear and high when they raise their voice. They don't care to modulate it.✧ Percy has a missing left hand, which is severed just above the wrist. They wear a jointed prosthetic made from resin and strung with aetherially conductive "threads" which loosen and contract when aether is channeled through them. Through the prosthetic, they have no true sense of touch. Percy does not fight while wearing the prosthetic; it is fragile and impractical for combat.✧ Percy's ears are decorated with an ever-increasing number of trinkets and baubles.✧ Percy doesn't do shabby.(WIPs below)
✧ Piercings :D
✧ A very cute tooth gap
✧ Big hat mention??
✧ They prefer dark glasses

What's her damage, anyway?

✧ Being the first son born into their family in generations gave them a lot of issues.✧ She wants eyes and hands on her, as many as possible and all at once. Percy wants to be adored and revered; ravished and ravaged. She wants everything.✧ Percy's upcoming marriage has a twelve page prenup, and she waves it off as something her family insisted on. She is terrified at the prospect of having everything ripped out from under her again.✧ Their childhood best friend recently lopped off their hand during a duel that turned sour. Blows aimed to disarm Percy will freak her out, on account of how close they swing to her hand and wrist.✧ They struggle with OCD and have unhealthy coping mechanisms. Having access to divinatory tools does not help them with this one little bit.✧ Percy desperately tried to save a dying man in an alleyway, then dragged his body home when they failed. He woke up. Today, they're married.

Fun Facts

✧ Percy's personal venture is a mages' guild by the name of The Many-Starred Cloak.✧ While Percy is responsible for the preservation and restoration of paper records, their true skills lie in the warding of archives and reliquaries. From the floor-to-ceiling barriers that protect archives (WIP)✧ Percy has authored a Dune-esque political intrigue erotic novel centered around two hairy, burly knights—with an abridged version that features less fantasy politics. Percy states that the latter sells better, but that the sex doesn't have the same impact without the sociopolitical context.(WIPs/ideas below)
✧ Percy collects fountain pens
✧ Their collection of gay literature
✧ their peach tarts
✧ about how emhyr got gay married and then ended up with a lovely wife instead and they're both trans and so very much in love
✧ Their father is a trophy husband. Percy comes from a long line of stubborn, strong-willed women.
✧ Their fondness for wards bled into a curiosity for more traditional means to keep thieves at bay—locks, and naturally, lockpicking.

✧ Percy specializes in warding magic and restorative magic.✧ Percy's healing magic is brutal in its efficiency and potency. However, they cannot restore lost flesh, bone, or blood.✧ Weaving wards and mending bodies are two things that go hand in hand—mending flesh is the easiest of the two for Percy; all of the components that go into it are already in front of them, they just need to be guided.

✧ Their ex-wife.✧ Percy is a vain little asshole who craves praise and flattery too much for their own good.Percy has a missing left hand, which is severed just above the wrist. They wear a jointed prosthetic made from resin and strung with aetherially conductive "threads" which loosen and contract when aether is channeled through them. Through the prosthetic, they have no true sense of touch.

Aside from being wonderfully aetherically conductive, they also just happen to make her happy.✧ Percy dislikes magitek in the same way one might dislike a Silicon Valley dude who keeps trying to shill his latest scam.✧ Percy has a particularly special disdain for foreigners who studied for a couple years in Old Sharlayan but act like it makes them special.✧ [Percy voice] if you call my home sharlayan and not old sharlayan i'm going to assume you're either a child or a tourist. sharlayan is the name of the colony. old sharlayan is where everyone lives now.

Fate read my palm, every line.

At a glance

A very brief summary of what Percy's been up to.

Childhood

  1540 - 1558  "I had a bit of a lonely childhood, all things considered. At a certain point, our parents had more children than hands, so Amphie and I were left to entertain ourselves. I took to reading."Percy was raised by fishermen, and by that I mean their family owns a commercial herring fishery, and they spend time on the boats themselves. Herring is a staple food—as important as rye, and so the Bellveil-Clayworth family maintains a strong economic foothold in Old Sharlayan.

Early Adulthood

  1558 - 1570  Time spent in Sharlayan under the bibliomancers. They wanted to be a librarian, but the wards that the bibliomancers used enchanted them. I don't think Percy actually has any accreditations as a librarian. They do have a lot of experience with curating collections and deciding what needs to stay or go; what's important to preserve. (While "The Culinary Applications of Coblyns" is an interesting, yet short read that provides an argument for natural selection, it doesn't present anything else worth preserving.)Back to Old Sharlayan; met Sabine and married her; finished studies. Archon thesis inspired by the huge wards and binding spells used in Gubal + Baldesion's wards.Percy's thesis provided significant advances in the speed at which wards can be raised, while maintaining tensile strength and potency of their retaliatory capabilities.This of course means that Percy is fully trained and capable of wielding adderstones or nouliths--it would have been insane to not look into them. As far as the healing arts go, though, Percy prefers astrology.

Adulthood

  1570 - present  They want what life took from them; they want what they never had. They want everything."All my life, I seem to have found myself loving too deeply, too much, and always at the wrong time."Being the first son born into their family in generations fucked them up real good. From wife guy to wife.Back to Eorzea with the ASTs, then pulled into Eureka either as soon as they're back or recruited into it via a letter. If Sabine's done enough work on how an excess of aether affects bugs she may have been recruited for it too.They're together again but it's tense and strange and Percy's holding all these uncomfortable feelings close to their heart. They fuck and it's just not the same.Eureka - They keep this under wraps, since most people don't need to know about what went down on that island."Galuf Baldesion's work was a marvel to behold. The barrier seemed to span for malms, and had held since the day it was raised. It was a work of art—and heaven knows it would have likely taken an age to erect. It was his work, in fact—the sheer scale of the wards he was capable of crafting—that inspired my own thesis, years before I'd even thought about setting foot on the isle of Val."Percy transitioned at 40. It's never too late.They will disassemble Rhys and put him back together again one day.

Flimsy fortunes

  rarity      ★☆☆☆☆✧ Percy's spats with local "fortune tellers" are starting to become noteworthy. Well, they are if you've an ear for trashy gossip.

Healer for Hire

  rarity      ★★☆☆☆✧ For a fee, Percy can heal your wounds. The more gruesome, the better. If you can bring her something she's never seen before, she'll waive the cost.

Archon appeal

  rarity      ★★★☆☆✧ Any mention of magical wards—ones strong enough to pique their interest—will send Percy homing in on you like a moth to a flame.

No Admittance

  rarity      ★★★★★✧ The guild of the Many-Starred Cloak does not accept new members under any circumstances, save for the notable and illustrious few who catch its founder's eye—and she is terribly difficult to impress.

Warning

If you use any kind of AI in your writing or carrd, or AI-generated artwork of your character, I will not rp with you under any circumstances. This includes any program used to autonomously alter or "spruce up" your writing in any way shape or form.If I find out that you are not actually writing your posts yourself despite this first and final warning, I will not be nice.

Duels

✧ Please do not attempt to break, damage, disable, or disarm Percy's prosthetic hand. It is an extension of their body; treat it like you would treat their real hand.✧ If you attempt to disarm Percy, two things will happen:
.    1. Percy will mock your poor sportsmanship.
.    2. If your hit lands, they won't be disarmed—they fight with .    a floating orb; you're more likely to hit their wrist.

Preferred THemes

I'd love to mage it up together. Same goes for character motivation and backstory deep-dives.Or, alternatively, anything related to Eureka or the Occult Crescent. Anything arcane, grotesque, or eldritch. Not interested in garden variety voidsent or long term slice of life; bring me something fresh and juicy, and I'll give you the very best I have to offer!

About me

  age      25
  pronouns      He/him

  timezone      AEST

Thanks for dropping by and taking the time to read Percy's carrd! I'm an ultimate raider, lover of OCs, professional snob, and aspiring wordsmith!I write the archivist at the Fury's Hallow. You might have seen my screenshots in event photos and promotional material.

Etiquette

1.    I will only write with you outside of venue hours if you are over the age of 20.2.    I have a zero tolerance policy for bigotry, both IC and OOC. I do not care what your excuses are.3.    My character's name is Percival, or Percy and her pronouns are she or they. Her name is not "Perci". I will turn down any and all requests to RP if you cannot spell her name or if you repeatedly misgender her.4.    Regarding lore breaks, I am strict in public venues out of respect for the folks I share these spaces with, but as a whole, I strongly prefer to work within the lore, and will not engage with shoehorned concepts from other works.5.    Since I'm often in GPose during venue openings, I'd appreciate it if you could send me a tell before your first post to Percy, otherwise I might miss it.6.    Analysis of darker themes through fiction is not approval of the content matter itself. I believe that by examining the grotesque; taking the depravities that have been forced on us and dissecting them in a space where we as writers are in control, we are able to draw our fears into the light and loosen the hold they have on us.

The following page mentions topics that some may find uncomfortable, such as teratophilia, gore, incest, and dubcon.

I shake and i shiver,

when my back's against the wall.

At a glance

Percy does land on their back. Flat on it, in fact, with a loud "OOF," after which they spend a bit of time staring up at the ceiling, and then crawl to their knees. "My!" they start, with an airy laugh, "You meant it when you said that!"

Percy grins. "Of course—that's all, hm? Now, as to whether I'd like a drink, that depends." They wind up for the punch. Their gaze shifts between Shri'ke and Emhyr. "Are you two serving anything other than awkward, stolen glances? If so... surprise me." They lift their chin from their hands to waggle their hand.
