He has a little knowledge in preserving, maturing and curing meats as well as cooking them. He has a small amount of knowledge in fishmongery as well in that, due to watching his father, he can gut, fillet and skin various kinds, although it's not a clean cut. Starting location: Beach Home. Biography: Percy Drummond was born in Aberdeen, Scotland. His father, Percy Senior, a relatively successful fisherman and fishmonger and his mother, a teacher who left the pair of them alone to fend for themselves while he was still young. It wasn't an easy upbringing, but his homelife was good, his father was a kind man who brought Percy up with a steady hand, doing his best to teach him right and wrong. His father sold what he could, but as times were moving on he found it harder and harder, what with the restrictions on fishing getting more and more tight. Eventually, the old man had sent his son away at the age of 16, as he had managed to get him a job as a butcher's apprentice. It was steady work and the pay managed to help him and his father stay afloat as the older Percy had given up on fishing and started a small fishmongery business, which was moving slowly. It took a while, but Percy managed to get into the swing of things, he became a full time butcher and started his own business further away in Edinburgh. It was a steady one, but began bringing in more money after a while. At this point he was 20 and began travelling on holiday when he could. He wasn't especially an outgoing man but he desired to learn about his trade even more, and as such he travelled to several countries and many more exotic places and learned of many different animals, he even picked up a little more about gutting and filleting fish while he went on his travels, his father had only been able to teach him so much after all. This is what led Percy to be on the ship that crashed and sank, he was on another trip of his, eager to be home and emotionally exhausted. He had cleaned his knives, sharpened them and replaced them in his briefcase when he decided a trip to the deck would be a good idea. He had picked up his briefcase, it was too valuable to leave alone after all, and walked calmly up the stairs. All of a sudden, something felt wrong. Deadly wrong. He raced to the top of the stairs and on to the deck just as the ship crashed into the beech. The force from the impact threw Percy overboard and into the water, only holding onto his briefcase with a vice grip. In the end it was that which saved him as it was water tight and buoyant. He was able, after a few moments clearing his head, to use it to swim to shore where he encountered the others who survived. Personality: Percy can be a very quiet individual, solitary. However when he needs to, he can joke and laugh and be less of an introvert, this was a trick he developed to deal with customers in his shop, as one had to be outgoing in that situation. Once he gets to know people he is much louder and will speak freely, even joke, however to get him to that point one occasionally has to prompt him to conversation. In crisis situations, as soon as he can get his bearings, he is calm and collected and able to think clearly to a goal that would be beneficial. He is curious, always willing to learn about almost any subject. Relations: Percy has only a father and very few friends. He does not usually go outside and when he does he talks little. Personal Items: In a padded briefcase, Percy has an expensive, custom set of butcher's knives, a whetstone and a steel. These were given to him by his father and which he was able to obtain before the ship sank.[/center]
