Quick Biography: Percy and his sister Heliabel grew up with their mother in the middle of a forest. When Percy was fifteen or so, he saw a group of knights watering their horses at a stream in his forest, and fell madly into hero-worshipping love, with the result that he ran off to become a knight. He did pretty well until he left on the Grail quest, on which he was befriended by a lion but failed to get the Grail. He went off to become a hermit, luckily, right before the final battle.

This was amazingly smart of him, because it meant that a) he could ignore everyone dying, and b) he didn't have to pick a side.

ETA: We've added a lot of canon which basically goes like this: while on his Grail quest he met a woman whom he was very much in love with, and lived with her for several years, until one day she pressured him into sex omg, and then he crossed himself and she went up in smoke, and his heart broke. He then wounded himself in the thigh in penitence. This is based off of several different legends. There is a full story account on his journal somewhere.

Appearance: Percy's gangly, has red hair that's always tousled, and tends to wear jeans and t-shirts like his other anachronistic Arthurian friends. He's also usually dirty as anything from working in his garden.

Personality: Easygoing, solid. He's a country boy, but he's not stupid, and he loves his garden terribly. He also loves his sister. He worships King Arthur, and tends to think the best of everyone, including himself, until proved otherwise. Canonically he's painfully innocent, so we assume the same is true here. He's also rather charmingly good-hearted and good-natured, to the point where people usually don't even slap him for it.

Galahad is a different story. :P

DF Canon: Okay...! Has got his sister, his King, and his veggies, so Percy's settled in and completely happy. He spends his time hoeing dragons out of the cabbage and taking care of his roommate, the electrically charged Haynes. He thinks Mordred is an awfully nice guy, knows enough to stay out of Clarissant's way, loves Alice (who doesn't?), and likes to tell dragon stories to Mary Watson and Hero--and anyone else who'll listen.

He also likes to give away vegetables, and would be more than happy if someone gave him a quest. Just a nice little one!

ETA: Best friends with Mordred! Building houses for Rina and Lady Tamarind! Giving out vegetables to anyone who comes near him! Lots going on in Percy's world, but nothing remarkable.

ETA: He adopted several new roommates. Said roommates consist of Galwyn, Dinadan, and Cimorene, due to which he has had to build an addition onto his house. He is also the unofficial champion of Cywyllog, whom he adores because she is Welsh, and also very fond of Elaine and Modred, for whatever reason. <3 He is making friends a lot, and working on his spring plantings.

Also, Percy is going to be wary of roommates from now on, as he has got something for Cimorene and she decidedly has something for him, and it is making him a little bit uncomfortable, and by 'a little bit uncomfortable' we mean 'realise he kind of likes her a lot but what if his old girlfriend-from-hell-literally comes back and he's not there and he misses her and he loves her and he can't betray her memory and besides sex is icky'. Yep. Except he's still going to marry her, because that's the proper thing to do.
