Overview[edit | edit source]
Percy is a small, dusty Granthelian man, living somewhere in Deurlyth. He is coming up on middle age-hood and has a bookish air about him. Percy is a healer, mage, and scholar.
Appearance[edit | edit source]
Percy stands at roughly 5' 3" with a thin, frail frame. His slightly wavy, custard blonde hair is usually tousled, sticking up at odd, messy angles. He has deep, blue-grey eyes behind a pair of well crafted spectacles. He looks almost perpetually tired, with heavy bags under his eyes and a generally fatigued look about him. His skin is pale, but not sickly and was once free from any blemishes; his left forearm, and part of his upper arm is now heavily scarred from a casting accident.
Background[edit | edit source]
Percival Mieli was born in upper-class Commonport, Granthelia as Percival Cawdell; the only child of Edric Cawdell, owner of the Stonefield Trading Company. The business was a successful trading and shipping business operating under the guidance and close allegiance of the Noble House Writhen. Percival grew up living in a fairly large, if not quiet house. He was raised only by his father, as his mother Clarissa had passed away during child birth. Because of this, Percy's father quietly blamed him for Clarissa's death, resulting in a distant and strained relationship. He was fairly intellectual, even from a young age. While the other children in Commonport would run and play outside, Percy would most likely be indoors, reading just about anything he could get his hands on. He did have few friends, but those few he spent time with he was close to, or as close as one in Percy's circumstances would be.
When Percy turned 18, he began attending Cromwell University. His father payed for him to attend, hoping Percy would learn economics and trade, in order to finally begin participating the family business. This did not at all come to pass. He studied for six years, during which time he majoured in Arcane Theory and Draconian Studies, two subjects he had always been particularly fascinated by. He kept to himself, only speaking out in classes in order to gain a better understanding, or provide a counterpoint in a discussion. Percy graduated from Cromwell University at the end of his sixth year of attendance. A short time after graduating, Percy felt the soft unease of restlessness. He felt that if he could go out and experience what he had learnt during his time at the university, he might gain a more thorough comprehension. As it would be, the ship in Edric's small fleet that would depart next was bound for the islands of Deurlyth, more specifically the Kingdom of Novania. He agreed to leave, though he wished he had instead been able to travel to Elterlein. Packing his things, he thought back to his time in Commonport, and his time at Cromwell University. Soon he would be in entirely other country, filled with new and different people, as well as murmurings of strange occurrences from the occasional merchant. He was not concerned, nor did he think anything particularly curious or extraordinary would happen to him. It is now to be noted that this was very incorrect thinking on Percy's part, as the contrary would ring very true.
In the early Harvest Call of the year 1191, Percival accidentally became the catalyst for an Arcane Incident which resulted in the destruction of more than half of Westmoor, a busy port city in Novania. Due to the nature of the incident, Percy was rendered almost entirely drained of all Arcane Energy and comatose for more than a week. After a very brief interlude of bed ridden consciousness, Percival Mieli passed away in the Asura Soren Capewell Memorial Hospital...
...Almost two days after his death, Percival somehow awoke in the Hospital Morgue, much to the bewilderment and shock of everyone present. The nature and possibility of his resurrection are entirely an enigma at this time.

Personality[edit | edit source]
Percy Mieli was, initially a quiet and kind man. He seemed to have a vague, perpetual anxiousness about him, even if nothing was the matter. At times, Percy may have come off as somewhat socially naive, in that he did not commonly interact with many people in his childhood. He still is rather introverted, preferring to spend his time either with family, a few close friends, or alone with his books, though the third is most appealing. As such, large parties or gatherings are draining and stressful for him. Percy was a very patient, caring individual, more than willing to help others simply for the sake of seeing them content.
Occurring both naturally and developed over the course of his life and the events comprising it, Percy suffers from High Anxiety, Stress-Induced Insomnia, and Majour Depressive Disorder. At its worst, his depression has led to a small number of contemplated suicides, most of which were prevented or decided against, although one particular incident was attempted and almost completed.
After Percival's resurrection, he has seemingly become more soft spoken and passive. He seems to be more polite, pleasant, and introverted, if not a bit distant; similar to his old self. His voice is level and neutral, very rarely taking on any tone other than amiable passiveness. According to him, he is not entirely the same after the Arcane Incident, describing a "unwhole" or "incomplete" feeling. His new demeanour may come across as anywhere from pleasant apathy to odd and somewhat unsettling. It is now somewhat rare for his previous disposition to manifest, although it can be seen on the odd occasion, particularly around his family; especially his dear twin sister.

Quirks[edit | edit source]
- Percy is a mage, practicing both Water and Astral magics. He focuses on non-combative magic, though he is more than capable of holding his own in a fight.
- Percy has a moderate stutter. It has always been something he has dealt with, and was not caused or brought on by any specific events. It is not something that is able to be fixed or dealt with naturally.
- When nervous or panicked, Percy tends to rub his right elbow anxiously. It is the only nervous tick he displays currently.
- Percy smells of lavender and dusty books.
- Percy is fluent in Kotimaan, and has a conversational, if not somewhat rusty grasp on Ulyssian.
- Percy is a very sort of Hobbitish sort of fellow, in almost every regard but body-type. He would love to spend the rest of his days in peace and quiet in Kasvava; living an unadventurous, bucolic and simple life of reading pleasant books, eating good, simple food, and socializing with dear friends. Unfortunately, it seems as though that will not happen for quite a long time, if at all.

Item Claims[edit | edit source]
- Silver Short-sword: 'A leaf bladed short-sword made out of silver.' It has not seen much physical use, and indeed, it looks almost unused. Percy had a number of these swords forged for himself and others as warding instruments during the most recent Wendigo crisis. - Link
- Alder's Granthelian Staff: Once belonging to the well known mage Alder Fa'lon. A simple wooden staff for magic casting, it was once covered in smudges and fingerprints; It had a look of heavy use. It is now much better maintained, and is treated with reverent care. - Link
- Ornate Leather Book: 'A large book with an ornate leather binding and gilt-leaved edges. The cover depicts a cloaked Ghaois, one of the Deurlen gods. It is currently blank.' A book Percy bought from a group of Sinvali merchants. It is indeed blank, although that may change with time... - Link
- Boundless: 'A small recurve bow, designed to shoot powerfully at a close range. The lower arm is painted with cresting waves, washing over the riser, and giving way to a dark navy field on the upper arm. The field is freckled with diamond stars, and a crescent moon made of polished silver set into the wood, near the handle. It's designed for a left handed user.' Made specially for Percy by his Auntie Juniper, it is almost always strung over his back when he goes out.
