Percy who stays close to home for college instead of going to New Rome and needs some extra money on the side but has a hard time keeping jobs due to his wild schedule. Then he stumbles into a random bar that is probably too nice to take him on as a server and finds a huge water tank with someone swimming in it and everything clicks for him all at once.
His friends will not stop laughing that he works at a mermaid show, but honestly Percy is having the time of his life. He only wishes random gods would stop showing up to watch his show.

Could the ching fans get a rundown of his personality pretty please 🥺🥺
Hell yeah it's Ching day baby!
Out of host:
Initially, Ching may come across as stoic, laid-back and chill. His mouth does not emote the same as most other mimes, and his general expression is always that of disinterest. However, he's very friendly and agreeable to those who get to know him.
He finds the quirks of living to be fun and amusing, and adapts quick to the customs of humanity. He's got a general knack for adaptability over all. As such, he is quick to make friends with the living and gain their trust.
But he's also a notorious liar. Most of his mime friends know this, but his new friends in the physical realm do not. He doesn't really lie to get away with things, though. It's more habitual than anything.
He'll just casually lie about his friends, his own experiences, anything he deems insignificant enough to not really have much of an impact. Like, he wouldn't lie about imminent danger, or vital aspects of a plan. It's enough though for a lot of the mimes to not trust him about much of anything.
He is generally well meaning otherwise, though. He is reliable when put to a task, great at reading a room and can be good at de-escalating tension with humor or his chill demeanor, and isn't really tied to one side of conflict often-- so he helps wherever he can, not just for who he thinks is right or wrong.
In host:
Not a lot seems to be carried over from his true self, aside from the liar liar pants on fire bit. He is even worse with his lying habit in-host, but because he's so much more fun and silly, and an even better wordsmith, it all flies under the radar.
He's a lot more expressive, more caring, and giddy about everything he does. He often gets so flushed with excitement that he clams up, excuses himself, and ends up in little giggle fits. It kind of ends up being rather adorable.
When there's nothing to do or engage in though, he easily becomes understimulated. He gets quiet, brooding, and can't sit in one spot for long-- unless he has something to occupy himself with of course. It tends to be at night that he falls into these ruts, which is why he is either found watching people sleep, or wandering aimlessly until something piques his interest.
His host makes him considerably more obsessive, and these obsessions are generally in line with his interests. Out of host he can be somewhat morbid without realising it, and so in-host, he tends to fixates on much darker things. It is entirely masked by his happy-go-lucky attitude, though. Much like his lying, this flies under the radar as well.
Like I've said before, he's silly and funny, until hes a weird little creep. It fluctuates all the time, in a cocktail of conflicting host-to-controller minds, as well as the general rhythm of plant people, where they have most of their positive energy at high noon, and go into low mood when the sun goes down.
I think overall he can be described as an untrustworthy but otherwise fun friend to all.
