Personality and Abilities
- How would your character express Happiness and Contentedness?
- Percival has become more quiet and wise in his elder years, but still retains a jovial, jolly nature about things he finds amusing or pleasing. He's far more neutral than anything, however, but one could easily tell his level of positivity based on simple facial expressions. If anything, his strict following of the honourable conduct of the Viridian Order has instilled a rather general, polite demeanour to him. One could argue he prefers to exude a rather passive contentedness, as if nothing bothers him.
- How would your character respond to experiencing Fear?
- Fear isn't a common emotion for Percival, he's learned to very much bury it in most situations, in order to better follow the tenets of his Order. That being said, when he truly is fearful, he responds almost with anger. Anger at himself, and anger at the cause of the fear. This often triggers his now-solved issues of aggression and anger problems, and would mean he could lash out irresponsibly and dishonourably, in order to "beat" the fear that has taken hold of him.
- How would your character respond to experiencing Stress?
- Percival doesn't handle stress well, and never has. Leadership roles in his past have taken their toll on him, physically and mentally, and he has pursued a rather low-stress lifestyle as a result. Delegating duties and tending to relaxing hobbies have allowed him to destress, but if and when it should flare up again, a return to his former attitude of cold, distant stoicness would certainly be seen.
- How does your character view Law and Authorities?
- Percival holds the Law in a high place, despite not being very adept at understanding how it works. The Viridian codes of honour hold a higher place in his heart, however, and views it as the ultimate source of Law and Authority in his life. In his eyes, breaking the law could even be seen as right and proper should you be breaking it in favour of following the Code of Charlemois or the Code of Ehrenhof.
- How does your character feel about Races other than their own?
- In the simplest terms, Percival is a quiet racist. He doesn't view other races in a high regard, but doesn't outwardly cause them trouble or harass them. In many ways, he more passively dismisses them, but also can be accepting should they prove themselves. He has had encounters with other races whom he has grown fond of, so it's certainly possible, if not very likely.
- How does your character feel about Religion for themselves, and other faiths?
- Religion is a touchy subject for Percival. The Code demands him to be a faithful Unionist, and he has interacted with two Emperors and held a romantic relationship with one. Therefore, his connection with his faith is rocky, but simply ignored. He goes through the motions of being a Unionist, but finds it hard to muster the devoutness he once had. In other strains, his homosexuality has caused him to harbour distaste for some of the dogma of Unionism, however, he quietly acknowledges himself as an anomoly in his own faith. Other faiths are often met with an alien view. He doesn't pretend to understand them, nor does he try to care about them.
- How does your character feel about the Arcane and Magical in the world?
- Percival has always had a very apprehensive view towards things of a magical nature. However, over time, he has simply seen too much to be surprised by it anymore. After seeing a Dragonblood, well, he finds the world is just a little bigger than it used to be. Where he used to ignore its existance, he now simply avoids interaction with too much arcane-level situations or people, wanting to stay out of things he views as foreign and alien to him.
- How does your character feel towards their family?
- Percy and his connection to the Ravenstad Household is a difficult situation. As a son, he utterly hated his father, and carried guilt for the death of his mother in childbirth. He was the victim of harsh abuse and neglect, but found comraderie and love in the form of his older twin, Anton. As a father, he loves and loved his children, but often found he wasn't very good at parenting. There's too many family members outside of that to carry specific opinions of, but if one were to ask, he likely refer to them as shadowy relatives whom he prefers to avoid. House Ravenstad is known for interior politics, cruelness to one another, and competition among family, and Percival knows this. He both fears them, but respects the legacy the family achieved and its Viridian roots.
- What is your character the most proud of about themselves?
- Percival used to be very vainglorious, and has attempted over time to remove that Viridian stigma from himself. He doesn't like to outwardly show too much vanity, but has a quiet pride for his achievements as a Knight, a former Ruler, and his skill in combat.
- What motivates your character to move forward and better their life?
- Percival has a constant drive to be an honourable person. However, he has grown somewhat content. Ambition has begun to be lost on him. Though, it's worth saying he wishes to avoid being a bad person, like he once was. He possesses a desire to avoid that, and does keep a mindful watch on improving himself.
- What is your character's biggest insecurity?
- He is very insecure about his track record as a father. He doesn't often like bringing up his children in conversation, and carries much grief for the loss of his son, Xavier. He feels like he failed most of his children: One he was dismissive and harsh towards, one he pushed too hard, one he ignored, and one he views with mild success, but sees too much of himself in.
- What is your character's biggest fear?
- Percival is scared of becoming what he was. He doesn't wish to regress into the mean-spirited, hateful person he carried himself as for many years. Rulership and the people around him transformed him into something he didn't like, and now looks back on with disgust. He is very afraid of becoming that person again.
Personality and Abilities (Expansion)
- Quirks
- Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder: Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder, or OCD, is, in definition, a common, chronic and long-lasting disorder in which a person has uncontrollable, recurring thoughts (obsessions) and behaviors (compulsions) that he or she feels the urge to repeat over and over.
- What this means for Percy is that he is prone to repeating actions over and over, and having an urge to act on these compulsions and obsessions.
- His case of OCD embodies itself mostly in terms of cleanliness, symmetry, and organization. He tends to obsess over having things symmetrical or in a perfect order. Percy also repeats his compulsions, such as: Excessive cleaning, and also ordering and arranging things in a particular, precise way.

255 AC | Birth
- December 11th, 255 AC - Percy Ravenstad is born to Charles and Sybil Ravenstad at Castle Machellon in the Hinterlands, just 30 minutes after his identical twin, Anton. After birthing her 2nd son, Sybil passes from unforeseen complications.
- Percy is slated to become a Viridian Knight immediately, as was his father's willing for the newborn to never outshine his heir, Anton.
255 AC - 265 AC | Childhood (1 - 10)
- He maintained a rather typical childhood, and spent much time with his older brother. He was mostly tended to by the servants and maids in the castle walls.
- Percy grew to find how much his father didn't really care for him, and found that same animosity with his brother as well.
- Tutoring began early on, especially with languages, to which Percy excelled at. He was, however, excessively terrible with mathematics and the sciences at an early age, and showed an uncanny interest in military and history.
- The gap between him and his father/brother worsened, and received much abuse from his brother during these early years. However, Percy repressed such horrid memories. His anger and disdain to his immediate family molded anger issues and a passion to fight and be better.
- Percy was shipped off to the Viridian Castle at 10 years old.
266 AC - 276 AC | Teen/Adult (11-21)
- Percy trained for a while with good success at the Viridian Castle.
- During his training, Percy associated closely with the Hohe Ehre, getting very stern with it and closing himself off socially while at the castle.
- Becomes known as "The Winter Knight" as a result of his brooding nature by his other Viridians.
- Graduated to become a full-fledged Knight with high marks, and was very successful in the Grand Tournaments followed.
- Anton becomes the Revain of the Hinterlands, upon his father passing.
- After his graduation, Percy married a local Brissiaud noblewoman at his brother's orders.

- Percy fathered three children over the next few years with his wife, who died after the birth of his third child, Cecile.
- Is named a Paladin after continued service and dedication of the Hohe Ehre.
- Not much to say over the next decade or so. Percival's time was mostly occupied with his missions, bettering himself at the Longsword more than anything else. Along the way, he picks up some other hobbies and skills, namely in Horticulture from the Machellon Gardener, and Tailoring from the many family businessmen and women skilled in the talent.
303 AC - 306 | Recent Years (47-50)
- Travels to Regalia in 303 AC to assist his brother in the coming war in Ithania, which never actually takes place.
- Helps Thomas Kade in their part of liberating the city from Andrieu Anahera, the Usurper.
- Becomes the Revain of the Hinterlands upon his brother falling infirm and ill. All titles and assets swap to his line.
- Percy marries Cedric Kade after months of being secret lovers, much to the chagrin of his kin, and is elevated to Grand Revain of the Hinterlands by Imperial Prerogative.
- Disowned his daughter, Cecile, after a string of terrible acts and behaviors on the woman's part.
- Suffers a chain of political defeats, though thankfully not much to the Ravenstad name's harm.

- Following a later fallout with the Emperor, Percy lost grip of his titles and honours, some being destroyed and others usurped. Sent into a spiraling depression, the former King fled to the Hinterlandish countryside.
- In the summer of 305 AC, while out riding, Percy was supposedly murdered.
- Late in winter of the same year, 9 days after his birthday, a fort was sacked on the Rie front. It was revealed this was a hotspot magical center for the enemy government, which also houses important POWs. Among them, was Percy, who oddly enough wasn't as dead as though. This raised many concerns about the nature of his "death", but it was clear Percy was actually alive.
- Percy abandoned his claims on the Dukedom of the Hinterlands, as well as the surname Ravenstad, electing to distance himself from his family. He chose the name "Karalais", in lieu of this.
- Percy was re-inducted into the Ravenstads and became the new General of the House Guard.
- Percy goes through a life-changing epiphany that completely alters his perception of life and himself. Over the past month, the Ravenstad has begun changing himself, and has done a complete turn around in many aspects of his personality, a lot in part to his new dedication to the Hohe Ehre of the Viridians.
- Percy starts finding a lot of reconnection with Cedric, and mending old wounds from his path. The whole process invigorates the man to keep pushing harder to be a better person.

- Hands over titles to Erwald, focusing on his Elder work, and generally wishing to retire from politics.
- Percival eventually became at odds with those on the Elder Council, and had disagreements numbering far too many with the Primae on the Order's direction. He soon stepped down as Elder, and retired from the Viridian Order.
- Percy also retired from public life, getting into reindeer herding, and owned a reindeer farm in the Tarkkin lands. He lived in a cabin there for some time.
- Percival would spend some time visiting the city from time to time. Being retired from most things, he has lots of free time, and normally does not know what to do with himself.
