Percy De Rolo

Personality:   Percy is a young human in his early twenties. He originally had brown hair, but it turned white as a result of the trauma he suffered after the Briarwoods killed his family. He has green eyes, and wears distinctive, double-lensed glasses; he is either nearsighted or far-sighted. Percy is exactly six feet tall. Percy’s Personality: Compared to most people Percy is rather quiet, usually only speaking when necessary. However, he has shown he can be quite persuasive in social situations and is somewhat of a tactician within the group. Despite his prim and conscientious exterior, however, Percy has shown himself on multiple occasions to hold the signature eccentricity of a tinkerer, as displayed in escapades such as the cannonball contest. Having experienced both the pinnacle of entitlement and the depths of poverty, Percy displays a wisdom and self-awareness beyond his years, especially in regard to social status. He indicates a particular fondness for unceremoniously dethroning other, snobbier nobility with a combination of his own title and a biting wit. Percy thinks of himself as being the only one capable of making adult decisions, despite his young age. He is also very pragmatic, with a consistent belief that the ends justify the means. This has led to moments of conflict between him and the party. Percy's desire for revenge was consciously monstrous. He was fully aware of the consequences of building the first firearm The List, he knew that the technology would escape his grasp and kill thousands of people in his lifetime, but he was willing to accept that to help him get revenge on several specific people. Percy's attitude was molded by the severe physical and emotional trauma he endured at the hands of the Briarwoods. Usually displaying a cynical, detached, and self-deprecating behavior. He responds poorly to compliments on his character, and his lack of self-respect is shown most clearly in the preferences he mentions for how his corpse should be handled in the letter that he composed for Percy’s Background: Percy was born in Whitestone where his branch of the de Rolo family ruled, and was raised alongside his six siblings. Five years before the campaign began, his family hosted guests: the Briarwoods. The couple initiated a coup and seized control of Whitestone, murdering the entire De Rolo family and those loyal to them. Percy was taken prisoner and tortured by Anna Ripley, one of the Briarwoods' allies (it was the trauma of this experience that turned his hair white), Percy's youngest sister and only surviving family, Cassandra managed to free him, and they attempted to flee Whitestone together. However, she was hit by several arrows in their escape, and Percy fled on his own by jumping into a river, believing her to be dead. His hair went white while he was unconscious in the river. Afterwards, he wandered aimlessly, working on a fishing boat, the Cold Comfort, for about a year. He took a series of odd jobs before spending several months working at a stable outside Stilben. One night, he had a dream in which a smoke-like entity offered him the means to get revenge for his family. Percy thereafter constructed his first gun, the List. He tracked Dr. Ripley for a year until he finally found her, but he was captured by her guards before being able to attack her and imprisoned in a jail cell. Because he is a gunslinger, Percy is a long-ranged attacker. He usually fights with his two guns, The List a six-barrel pepper-box, and Bad News a sniper rifle-esque device. He also has experience in using melee weapons, usually a rapier or a longsword. Percy is also a tinkerer, creating and modifying items to give both himself and his teammates an edge in battle.
