Personality: Perceval, or Percy, as everyone calls him, is one of the sweetest, yet naivest boys you will ever meet. He has one ambition in life; to become a knight, but there are just a few things standing in his way. One of them being his highly irritating habit of constantly asking questions of everyone around him. He doesn't mean to annoy anyone, but he was raised to be deliberately innocent of everything around him (please see history
) and as such, is now an extremely curious young boy. The second flaw in his plan to become a knight is his acute clumsiness and complete lack of courage - Percy can barely take two steps without tripping over his own feet or finding something else to add to the long list of things he's scared of. Despite these flaws in his master plan, he's still determined to become a knight.Percy is often described by his mother as endearing and loveable, but in truth, he had a very lonely childhood. He had very few friends when he was younger and now, in his desperation to impress people he often just comes across as looking silly and irritating. He's also never had a girlfriend - in fact, he's rarely even seen a girl, having been hidden away for most of his childhood. This doesn't bother him, however, as his innocence to the world means he's often quite easily distracted and each distraction takes him a little further away from his goal of being a knight.
Appearance: Perceval is quite tall for his age, and very skinny, giving him that look of being stretched which is so popular with teenage boys. He's pale, with very expressive grey-green eyes and a face which hasn't yet lost all of its baby fat. His hair is dark brown and a little curly and messy. It's always falling into his eyes, and it grows so quickly that he always looks like he needs a haircut, even a week after it has been cut.
Percy's clothes are far from designer, most of then being made by his mother, so he's not afraid to get them dirty or ripped. It's quite usual for him to come home with holes in his shirt and absolutely covered in mud. Truth be told, he doesn't take great care of his appearance, rarely bothering to brush his hair as it'll just look messy anyway. However, he does always make sure his clothes are clean when he leaves the house, even if they aren't when he comes home, because if he left looking filthy he'd get a scolding from his mother.
History: Perceval's father, Alain le Galois, and his two brothers were knghts, killed in battle when Percy was just a baby. Too young to remember them, Percy's griefstricken mother vowed that he should not find out who or what they were, lest he decide to follow in their footsteps and should die too. She left the court where she'd been living and took Percy deep into a secluded forest in Wales, where she raised him, alone, as an innocent child, ignorant to everything to do with court and knighthood. The innocent he was raised as makes him seem foolish and naive to those raised in the 'real world', as it were.
However, one day, when Percy was about 11 and a half years old, he was playing in the forest near his home when three knights rode past him. He had no idea who or what they were, only that they were glorious and beautiful. He showed his innocence to the three of them, asking them questions they thought were obvious - who they were, where they came from, all sorts of things. He ran back to his mother, who realised it was time for him to know, and explained to him everything about knights of the realm, his father and his brothers. Percy's face lit up as he heard his mother explain about them, and he declared that this was his destiny. He was of noble birth. He wanted to be a knight. When his mother realised she could not dissuade him of this yearning, she made him a promise. If he waited three more years, with her, in the forest, she would send him to a school she knew of. At this school she hoped he would learn some knowledge, become less clumsy and perhaps learn some of the qualities he needed to become a knight. Though Percy did not know this, part of his mother's intentions were that perhaps he would learn some cruelty at the school - not enough to hurt him in anyway, just enough to dissuade him from his new longing to be a knight, and make him return home to her.
Other: dreams do come true.
TELLtheTALE
Sample Post: Once upon a time, eons ago, in a far off land, there lived a little girl (well, not that little) who discovered a magical land called 'Avalon'. This girl fell in love with that place, until curses and mistidings and those evil things which muggles and wizards alike insist upon forcing upon the youth of their worlds (exams) forced her to forgo this wonder in her life. But, despite the misfortune which had come upon her, the girl often reminisced about the good old days and she missed the characters which she used to play. Above all of this, she missed the lovely people she'd met there and the magical time they used to have together.
But do not fret, young mortals, because this story, like all good stories, ends well (or so we hope). After a lengthy and tiring revision spell and a positively ghastly exam experience, the young girl was finally free from the evil sorcerers who call themselves 'teachers' and the decrepit, horrendous 'college' she was forced to attend daily. And so, the young girl found she had nothing to do with her days, until a fair maiden by the name of Charly pointed her in the direction of this new and exciting place which bore some resemblance to the site they had called Avalon. The girl found she had a new place to spend her days, so she packed up her metaphorical bags and she slogged over a character application, calmly awaiting the response of the beautiful and fair staff maidens of the site to tell her that she could once again become a part of this charming new world.
The girl's name, I hear you ask? Why, her name was Ellie, the totally awesome half of Chellie.
HI GUYS!
