[color=lightblue]Appearance:[/color]
Purrcival, due to his heritage is rather tall when compared to than most Palicos- standing in at about 3'6". His fur is short and mostly black, save for white patches on his stomach, underneath his chin, and on his paws. Scars from various missions adorn his frame, and a pair of gold rings are pierced through one of his ears.

[*][hider=Felyne Gunlance][img]https://i.imgur.com/VG5xcZm.jpg[/img][/hider]
With a custom built gunlance and shield, Purrcival stands at the front of any rescue effort, protecting his fellow Tailraiders as they provide direct aid to distressed hunters and palicos. Though heavy and large, Purrcival wields this weapon with surprising grace and finesse.
[*][color=lightblue]Felyne Iron Sword[/color] - Purrcival keeps a standard issue palico sword strapped across his back as a backup weapon. He uses it on the occasions when he has been disarmed of his primary weapon, or needs to drop the gunlance and shield for more mobility.
[*][color=lightblue]Tailraider Gadgets[/color] - Purrcival keeps a pouch containing a variety of necessary tools for the Tailraiders, most notably a generous supply of vigorwasp spray for first aid purposes, and smoke bombs for screening escapes from hostile monsters. 
[*][color=lightblue]Grani[/color] - A Mernos wingdrake. One of many used by the Tailraiders as a method of quick transport in and out of rescue locations. While technically capable of combat, wingdrakes are rather fragile when compared to the usual targets of hunters, and Purrcival avoids bringing Grani into combat when possible. Still, the wingdrake is capable of being used as a warmount. Grani in particular responds to a whistle Purrcival has built into his helmet.

[color=lightblue]Armor:[/color] While at home and not on duty, Purrcival is commonly seen in the typical Palico getup- leather vest and hat. However, when deployed or prepping for a rescue mission, Purrcival dons a set of Legiana Mail, providing him ample protection without too much weight. 

[color=lightblue]Bio:[/color] 
A Tailraider of considerable repute, Purrcival is the oldest of 12. Always larger than his siblings, and possessed of considerable athleticism- with strength comparable to a human, Purrcival was quickly picked up and inducted into the Hunter's Guild as one of their palicos. Purrcival served with another hunter in the Old World before an injury left the hunter unable to continue their career. Staying with the Hunter's Guild, Purrcival was among those selected to join the Fifth Fleet as they headed out towards the New World.

Upon reaching the new world, Purrcival and several other Felynes without Hunter partners banded together to form the Tailraiders, support to hunter teams as they embarked on missions in the New World. The Tailraiders grew in number as the years went by, and different specializations were formed to fit the different needs of the Commission: Support and logistics staff, safari gatherers, auxiliary hunters, rescue teams, and whatever else the Commission felt necessary. Owing to his size and skill, Purrcival became member of the Tailraider Rescue Group: heavily armed and armored Tailraiders mounted on wingdrakes, responsible for swooping into mission areas and ensuring downed hunters made it back to base.

With surprising efficiency, by the time the Sixth Fleet arrived in Astera, Purrcival had risen through the ranks and made his mark as team leader for TRG-1, sent into the most dangerous locations to rescue and support beleaguered hunters during the most dangerous of hunts. As things have mostly calmed down after the events in Seliana, Purrcival and the rest of TRG-1 spend most of their days training new hunters and palicos as they arrive in Astera, though Purrcival still feels the call of adventure and is ready to answer any call at a moment's notice.[/hider]
