Species: Merfolk/Kapa'pu
Gender: Male
APPEARANCE
Bright lime green underbelly and face with electric blue scales all over his back, limbs, and the outer parts of his face as well as a collar of billowing scarf-like fins along his arms, Percy's coloration catches the eye instantly. Wearing a pearl/sharktooth necklace, and coral bracelets on his arms, as well shimmering beads on his chest, Percy is not hard to spot when swimming in the ocean. Strategically placed along his arms, elbows, shoulders, and head are poisonous barbs - electric blue and white, just like his fins.
When in his land-form, Percival prefers open vests which show off his pecs to the ladies, as well as ruffled shirts - often with a deep V-cut. He prefers tight-fitting trousers and flamboyant amounts of jewelry.

ABILITIES
- Neon Lightning: Percival's unique reiatsu allows him to use a non-conductive, extra flashy and colorful form of lightning reiatsu. Neon Lightning is chaotic, flamboyant, flashy, and bedazzling, just like its caster. In addition to destructive purposes, neon lightning can cause dizziness and nausea - even if just seen. While these effects aren't deadly by themselves, they often distract the opponent and make it hard to focus, allowing Percy to come in for the kill. In addition, Percival also uses the lightning like a wire - causing a visible, strong magnetic force between himself and another object.
- Runeweapon: Ballroom Blitz: Percival's trident is laced with an even stronger venom. While most Kapa'pu merfolk prefer not to use weapons, Percival was raised by Moa'ana. This trident is surprisingly light-weight, and balanced as to allow it to be spun easily. The outer edge of the trident is bladed as to allow it to slash as well as pierce. In addition, there is a crystal at a bottom attuned to Percival's lightning, allowing it to be 'tethered' and used as a harpoon.
- Spines: Percival's fish aspects are based on the deadly lionfish. His spines can be forcibly ejected as projectiles - upon impact, they inject their venom into the victim.
- Nimble Grace: Percy is a great dancer, and this translates into his combat. Flexible and agile, it is tough to hit Percy
- Amphibious: Percy's frequent ventures onto land make him quite adept even out of water. Unaware opponents may think to lure him on land, but in truth he is just as good on land as he is in water.
WEAKNESSES
- All Flash, No Substance: While Percy isn't defenseless, his moves are more flashy and extravagant than they are practical. He is a competent fighter, but against a veteran, especially one with nerves of steel, he will often lose. In addition, he is horribly undisciplined and even arrogant, frequently underestimating his opponent to his detriment.
- Ice Weakness: Percy is cold-blooded and also a lover of warm waters. Cold tends to hinder his mobility and also affect his energy levels.
BACKGROUND
Percy's parents died due to ocean predators while he was but a baby. He was discovered by Moa'ana hunters, and they took him back to be raised in a loving home. As such, he shares some Moa'ana cultural traits while maintaining his unique magic.
Percy does not grieve - he was too young to remember them anyway. Besides he's too busy partying. A lover of the land and the sea, Percy is never one to turn down a good time. A horrendous flirt, he is incorrigible around either sex and lays on his approach extremely thick.
In spite of his hedonism, he is a family man at heart, caring deeply for his younger sister, often hiding evidence of his debauchery from her. In addition, he does have a strong sense of compassion - though he does not actively seek opportunities to be such. If slapped in the face with the option between skirt-chasing and helping an old lady, he will (begrudgingly) help the old lady.
In spite of his annoying nature, Percy has a silver tongue, which is hindered by his love of making water and fish based innuendo.
