Personality: Despite having a photographic memory, there are times when he occasionally forgets things, especially when he's stressed out, experiencing a panic attack or reliving a traumatic event. As a result of his blunt and talkative nature and dark sense of humour, he’s quite socially awkward. He’s a pathological liar that constantly tells himself that everything will go as planned and that he’s mentally fine. He has a strong semblance of narcissistic personality disorder as he needs constant admiration, has a sense of self-importance, is interpersonally exploitative, and comes off as patronising. He also has major depressive disorder and is viciously suicidal, but he hides this from everyone else by putting up a cheerful facade. Despite the pessimism that surrounded most of his life, he has managed to keep up a somewhat happy-go-lucky outlook on life.

He has a bit of a temper, especially towards those he finds annoying and disrespectful or try to manipulate him by playing on his flawed emotions. He’s capable of forming sincere and meaningful relationships due to his natural inclination for generosity, compassion, and honesty, but struggles due to his mental health issues. He’s overprotective and self-sacrificing of those he cares about and unfamiliar faces that leave a good impression on him. He can be quite gullible, superstitious, and emotionally sensitive at times, which can interfere with his serious-mindedness, wisdom, courage, and strategic mindset. He has an exceptional imagination, immense gratitude for those he cares about, is slightly masochist, and strongly believes that everyone is capable of redemption. As a result of his disgust for unnecessary fighting and warfare, he desperately tries to avoid arguments and physical fights.

Whenever he takes cocaine, he’s strangely happy, energetic, and restless, and abnormally sensitive to touch and sound. When he’s drunk, he’s more inclined to participate in risky behaviour and has lowered inhibitions. His concentration is noticeably decreased, his anxiety is more heightened, and he’s quite irritable when drunk.

Likes: Familial bonds that are healthy, fuzzy blankets, storytelling, the sound of windchimes, poetry slam, obscure media, his father’s record player, arcades, animals, and mecha and psychological horror anime

Dislikes: Betrayers, bullies, queerbaiting, suffocation, lack of inspiration, animal cruelty, struggling to get out of bed in the morning, traumatic nightmares, his cocaine and alcohol addiction, and ungratefulness

Equipment:

An blue-and-green iguana plushie named Zion

A journal where he records his thoughts and perspectives on various situations that he’s in as well as record ideas for stories

A sketchbook

A large, organised case of sketching pencils, three erasers, paint brushes, and a paint palette

A duffle bag of acrylic and gouache paint bottles, six canvases in different sizes, a can of paint sealant, and a container of pastels

A satchel bag that contains four books and a harmonica gun

A keytar with an amp

A baseball bat with rusty nails

A taser

Physical and outfit appearance: He’s a 5’ 11” (180.34 cm) endomorph with a rectangular figure, prominent thighs, a partially rounded belly, and a slight athletic build. He has reddish freckles on his face, neck, and hands, and a few brownish solar lentigines scattered across his body. He has jade eyes, slightly sensitive limestone skin, and two moles on the right side of his forehead, which is somewhat covered by his hair. His light auburn hair is incredibly smooth and swept to the side in a style that was both casual and calculated. He has a fluffy balbo bembo beard that’s meticulously kept to just the right length.

As a result of drinking some of Demaryius’ blood, he’s now 6’ 3” (190.5 cm) and remains on the physically heavier side, but he has a better body weight than before. His left eye is a sparkling jade with an amber outline and his right is an icy blue with a lavender pupil. His pupils function similar to a feline’s, and he can open his mouth wide, revealing a deep blue-green serpentine tongue. His hair is now a gingery balayage blend of shimmery copper with deep auburn and medium orange, and it has saffron-yellow streaks. His upper canines are replaced with the fleshy fangs of a serpent, and his scaly skin has a sort of vitiligo effect in light grey and orangish-white. Due to his increased sensitivity to sunlight, he can’t be out and about during the day for 5 hours or he’ll be set ablaze and burn to death. He has six fingers with slightly curving claws in metallic silver and a deep scar that he made himself when he tried to cut his throat open. His chest is covered in twenty short common blanket octopus tentacles that are deep red with rainbow sheen.

He has three jacket choices that he switches between: (1) a pleather trench coat; (2) an olive green anorak; and (3) a corduroy sportcoat with black sheepskin lining. He has two hats in his possession: (1) a black snapback with a wisteria brim; and (2) a greyish-blue pageboy cap. He wears a sky blue, greyish-purple, and yellow flannel shirt with rolled up sleeves and a pair of reddish-brown Converse All Stars. His flannel skirt is accompanied with neon-coloured polo shirts that have upturned collars, golden pearl snaps, and beachy and poetic imagery. He dons a pair of boxy bluish-black eyeglasses and acid wash tawny-blue pants with a gold-buckled coffee brown belt that has a lucky rabbit’s foot tied to it. He occasionally wears a theatrical vulture mask of orange-rust wood with a black band under each eye.

Family:

Unnamed vampire ancestor

Unnamed Canadian mother

Unnamed Irish father

Unnamed maternal uncle

Unnamed maternal aunt

Unnamed fraternal aunt

6 unnamed cousins

Biography: He was born into a relatively supportive family, encouraging him to pursue his dreams as a creative individual. He had an older cousin that he looked up to as a role model, but she ran away from home due to being lesbian. For a couple of months, she was reported missing before her body was found, bruised, broken, and crudely flayed. The images and video footage of her death on TV severely scarred him due to its visceral nature and the loss of someone he looked up to. In the beginning of his elementary years, he lost a childhood friend who was living right next to his house. It was during a family barbecue with her parents and older brother, she was trying to obtain a ball that got onto the road and he witnessed her get unexpectedly hit by a drunk truck driver.

Near the beginning of his secondary school years, he befriended a photography fanatic and website builder named Olaf, becoming nearly inseparable. However, as they moved into high school and his kindness and bubbly attitude became more prominent, Olaf began to grow jealous and disgusted by how emotionally expressive he is. Later on in college, their relationship began to fall apart as Olaf would spread nasty rumours about him, losing his other friends as a result. Olaf would disregard his emotions and many people would bully him because of these nasty rumours, viewing him as an outcast. Percy would eventually meet Salvacion, a Filipino girl who was attending university to become a veterinarian. This was after her cat, Marilou, stole his grocery list and dragged him over to an abandoned 1920’s hotel. It was love at first sight, going on dates for a few months and talking about philosophy, nature, conspiracy theories, and the history of art together.

Olaf would catch wind of this news through a friend of Salvacion and took this opportunity to ruin Percy’s life. During the night before Christmas Day, Olaf vandalised Salvacion’s house and killed her by stabbing her face and neck multiple times and asphyxiation. He staged her death as a horrific suicide, which would devastate Percy the next day, beliving that he could have prevented it if he properly recognised her problems. This caused him to fall into a deep depression, using pathological lying and narcissism as a way to forget all of his trauma and mask his true emotions. He dropped out of college, ruining his chances of becoming a professional screenwriter and cartoon artist. He worked as a convenience store clerk, while living in a shitty apartment somewhere in the ghettos of Toronto, Canada. He got addicted to illicit, cocaine-affected alcohol that one of the neighbours was illegally selling. The only things that brought him some joy was Marilou, his journal, and an ecological dystopian novel that he was writing, which contained some elements from the Y2K scare.

One day, Marilou was slowly dying and he felt an urge to kill himself, but decided to make his way to the 1920’s hotel. He headed to the out-of-place banquet hall and began to play the piano, surprised at how well he’s performing the music. Without him noticing, Demaryius was on a stroll with Koi when he heard faint piano music nearby. They both went to investigate, observing him from a distance as he played the piano with Marilou peacefully sitting on his lap. It was the most beautiful and creative piano song that graced their ears, so they listened carefully. Koi decided to explore the vincity for potential danger and Demaryius noticed that Percy was beginning to tear up near the end, a deep sorrow was emitting from him. After the gorgeous piano rendition was done, he took a swig from a bottle of vodka and tried to take his own life with a kitchen knife he bought at a cutlery store. He placed the knife near his throat and before he could slice it open, Demaryius stopped him. Percy dropped the knife not out of fear, but in total awe at what he was witnessing. Demaryius saw something special in him and told him to play the piano once more with all of his emotions on the table. After the second time, he decided to take him in as he understood his pain and rejuvenated Marilou as a sign of respect.

Fun facts:

He has synesthesia and sleep apnea

As an author and painter, he prefers to go by Percival Coughlan

He has gotten into a few fights during high school

Whenever he monologues, his psychic abilities begin to go haywire without his knowledge as he’s lost in his thoughts.

Demaryius taught him that he should write well-articulated journal entries to healthily vent about his problems and uncertain emotions, which has helped him greatly.

When he found out that Demaryius had children, he immediately turned his life around and overcame most of his addiction. There are uncommon instances where he’s craving alcohol, cocaine or both. When this happens and when he remembers, he allows Sister Rosa to punch him in the face as it’ll make him forget these cravings.

He enjoys entertaining the younger children of Demaryius with unique stories and fun, yet creative activities.

There are very rare instances where he craves blood, which causes vicious headaches and nauseous fatigue. He gets his blood tablets from Kianna, which taste gross, yet strangely pleasant to him. Kianna once told him that he should only spit them out immediately when it feels painful or it tastes disgusting because it can be quite harmful.

From what he can recall of his father, he was a war journalist with a strong fondness for vinyl records and psychology. He divorced his wife and left home out of fear that his worsening PTSD might cause him to harm his family.

He owns Marilou and she was raised by a pack of stray dogs, so she exhibits a bit of canine behaviour. She’s a white feline with a prominent orange marking that looks like a wonky comb mustache.

He kept Salvacion’s pleated skirt with a pattern of greys and blues as a reminder of his love for her.

He performs numerous duties for Homeworld such as keeping records on each child, cleaning the mansion, and aiding with peace treaties.

His mother taught him how to read piano notes and play the basics

He prefers to work with acrylic and gouache paints

The sketches consist of landscapes outside and inside of Homeworld, Marilou, eldritch monstrosities, his strangest dreams or worst nightmares, and animals that grab his attention.

He’ll only publish work that he feels proud of, personally believing that it should be shared with others in order to garner attention and make them feel inspired. The only times that he won’t publish his work is when they feel uninspiring and mediocre, don’t have a satisfying ending, or are too personal to share.

His ecological dystopian novel is called Subterranean Paranoia

He has written a collection of romantic, fantastical, and surrealistic poetry called Down The Early Hole

He likes to write his stories in different genres, but he always incorporates elements of dark fantasy, dystopian fiction, adventure, action, and mystery into each one.

His favourite entertainment consist of bad kaiju movies, dark fantasy RPG games, point and click adventure games, comics that contain cyberpunk, steampunk and/or dystopian elements, found footage films, veterinarian documentaries, eloquent and thought-provoking poetry, and obscure novels.

He loves to drink homemade smoothies and root beer floats

He prefers food made from home and at fancy restaurants

He doesn’t mind hugs, but will either politely or rudely decline if someone gives off extremely bad vibes.

He uses Zion as a punching bag and emotional support

He’s the writing acquaintance of Miss Katherine

He would ask Miss Katherine for tips on writing, but his narcissism would prevent him from doing so at times.

He views Maverick as a big brother

He was intimidated by Svyatopolk at first because of his harsh Russian accent and his mean-looking appearance. After spending some time together, they became fairly close friends, relating to each others’ struggles with loss and addiction.

He finds Rhodopis to be mysteriously attractive, but he’s afraid to approach them because of their threatening presence.

Demaryius, Koi, Sister Rosa, Kianna, and Homeworld belong to @nunezs-stuff

Miss Katherine belongs to @vanillafalvoredcoffee
