[indent]Percival thinks about romance some times, but mostly in an abstract sense. He worries about doing things in the proper manner, and could see himself someday marrying a proper maiden, but doesn’t apply this to his daily life. Romance is mainly a distraction and a source of confusion for him, both of which are things he tries to avoid.[/indent]

[indent]Percival is a big man, standing six foot three and large framed. Back in Albion Percival dressed roughly thanks to his rural upbringing, his clothes were simple and rarely unblemished. He did realize the importance of formal occasions and dressed appropriately, even if it frustrated him. When out on a quest he wore a red coat of armor. He keeps his face clean-shaven and his brown hair slicked back for convenience. In the modern world his usual attire is blue jeans and flannel shirts, but his profession frequently requires him to wear a suit. [/indent]

[indent] Percival is inexperienced and guileless, but is coming to realize how much he has to learn. Before the Grail Quest he had a simple and naïve view of morality, afterwards he finds himself questioning more and thinking deeply. He keeps quiet and avoids large crowds, preferring the company of people he knows well.  Percival lacks self-confidence and is not cunning, schemeing is not in his nature. Even though he rarely shows it, he is compassionate, and assumes that almost everyone has some good in them. [/indent]

[indent]Percival is skilled with the sword and the lance, lacking formal training but having picked them up very quickly. He also is an excellent horseman. [/indent]

[indent]Percival is fundamentally unsure of himself and prone to doubt, which manifests itself in several ways. He takes the advice of others seriously, often without applying critical thought, resulting in poor decisions. He is also hesitant and indecisive when left to his own devices. [/indent]

[indent]Percival’s father was Pellinore, who died before he was born. His mother raised in the woods, far away from civilization. His early life was isolated, only changing when he saw knights from King Arthur’s court for the first time. Percival’s mother tried to discourage, but he kept asking more questions and remained determined to join them. Eventually she relented, only giving him basic instructions before he left. On his way he stole a ring from a sleeping maiden, simply heeding his mother’s advice to “take a ring from a maiden if you encounter one”. When he met the Knights of the Round table, he studied diligently and took advice from them, taking it all seriously, even requests like “stop asking so many questions”. After a short while training he set off on quests, such as returning a cup stolen by the red knight.

	Percival quickly became renowned as great knight in spite of his young age and inexperience. While traveling the land Percival heard of the legend of the Holy Grail, and set off to find it. After a long journey he found the Fisher King’s land, and saw the Grail. He was awed by it and stayed silent, failing to ask the proper question and failing in his quest. After the Grail quest Percival wandered the land. His mother had died of natural causes while he was away, and there was no word from Arthur’s court. He took the failure personally began to question and grow, realizing for the first time how flawed he was. He even returned the ring he stole, and found that he was much weaker without the magical protection it gave him. He kept searching for a way to find the Grail again and correct his mistake, but the cataclysm came before he could find anything.

[indent]Percival felt purposeless after leaving the old world. He likes to keep up with the other refugees from Albion, and reminisce about old times. In his search for a new goal he started working with local nonprofits, helping out troubled souls. In his spare time he earned studied for the bar exam in hopes of becoming a defense attorney, viewing it as protecting the innocent. In his spare time he enjoys playing baseball.  [/indent][/hider]
