[b][color=ed1c24]Personal Style:[/color][/b] Percy's sense of dress has always been somewhat fanciful and evocative of Daniel Craig's character Benoit Blanc. He loves an ascot moment, particularly when having a casual day out in the sun. In winter, his collection of sweaters are to [i]die[/i] for - but not nearly as impressive as his tie collection. He can tie just about any knot you can think of. He tends towards more neutral colors, but every now and then will mix it up with something a little more vibrant. He polishes his shoes every week and judges people who don't take the same amount of care with their own wardrobe.

[b][color=ed1c24]Sexuality:[/color][/b] Gay

[b][color=ed1c24]Alignment:[/color][/b] Neutral Good 
[b][color=ed1c24]Personality:[/color][/b] Percy does not behave like a fourteen year old boy - he's spiritually much closer to an angry old man. He looks down on pretty much everyone, assuming that they're too thick, stupid, and/or clueless to make the observations that he can. He doesn't trust others to take care of things, having a tendency to micromanage. Of course, Percy is exceptionally brilliant and bright, meaning that not only is he egotistical and a bit of a narcissist... he's usually [i]correct[/i]. People tend to be incredibly frustrated by him, for good reason. 

	However, Percy is incredibly and fiercely loyal. Family - by blood and the ones he choose - mean everything to him. He would destroy the world for the ones that he cares about, a viciously positive train he inherited from his mother Novikova. Other people in the world don't really matter to him. In his mind, it's he and his against everyone else, billions of souls who just cannot matter as much. 

	He's snarky and sarcastic, and prone to dark humor. No one would describe him as [i]nice[/i], but he can be [i]kind[/i] to those he deems worthy. He doesn't care what other people think about him. As long as his loved ones are alive and healthy, they could see him as the devil and he'd be fine with that.

[b][color=ed1c24]How did you discover your powers:[/color][/b] Percy's first power to develop was his ability to understand and communicate in any language. He first properly noticed this power when out at dinner with his family, when he calmly ordered his food in fluent Italian, despite only speaking English and Russian. His secondary power, a variation of his sister's power, he discovered while at school in gym class. It was dodgeball day and Percy suddenly disappeared and reappeared about ten feet away, just as a ball had been about to nail him in the head. 

[b][color=ed1c24]General History:[/color][/b] Percy is the second child of Avengers Dominika and Maria Novikova, also former agents of SHIELD. His parents were part of the West Coast Avengers, regularly jaunting off to go save the world (or at least, the west coast of the United States). When the Avengers then transitioned from having limited and fixed rosters to becoming a global force where any Avenger could be called to respond at any moment, the family remained in San Fransisco. His parents would be taken off to work with a teleporter, whereas Percy and his sister Diana (three years his elder) would be put in daycare with the other Avengers kids. 

Growing up, Percy was never really interested in playing with other kids. He liked to read, devouring just about any book that he could get his hands on. The classics were always his favorite. He was [i]obsessed[/i] with Ancient Greece and its mythology, imprinting heavily on the Percy Jackson series (after all, he had the same name as the protagonist). When he wasn't reading, he would be off exploring, sometimes ending up in areas he had no business being. And when those and his other hobbies failed him, he'd watch reality TV with his moms and sister - he [i]loved[/i] to criticize the outfits. It was his favorite part. 

His sister's mutant power manifested first, as she displayed the ability to teleport. Percy was slightly jealous, thinking up what sort of cool power he might get. He had a little diary he carried around with him, where he'd record anything that could potentially be the sign of a power manifesting - ironically, he missed his power when it first came about. He had been wandering around in Chinatown and didn't notice that he could roughly understand everything that was being said. It was a few months later that both of Percy's abilities had manifested. 

His sister had already been attending Avengers Academy for a little while before Percy was enrolled. It's his first year at the institute, as well as his freshman year of high school. And while he won't admit it, he's a little bit excited. 

[b][color=ed1c24]Proposed Arcs:[/color][/b][list][*]I think that Percy is a bit of a hopeless romantic. I'd love for him to get into some byzantine and twisted, complicated love story - something that will cause him to cry silently, claim he's better off alone, but realize how much he misses the other person. 
And then, once he realizes how much he cares for this person, how far is he willing to go? And what is he willing to do?
[*]I'm also a huge fan of the classic time travel plots, where your future self comes back and you have to try to change the course of your own timeline. That could be fun. 
[*]He idolizes Odysseus, and calls himself Odysseus, so it's time for that monkey's paw to drop.[/list][hr][center][img]https://data.whicdn.com/images/327029304/original.gif[/img][/center][hr][h3][b][i][color=ed1c24][center]Extras[/center][/color][/i][/b][/h3]
