Percival Parhelion
|
On this page... (hide)
Percival Parhelion is a fisherman and diplomat currently navigating a new life in Salsola. Born to high-ranking parents in Krokar, he thought himself destined for greatness. But at only 6 months of age, Percy experienced the destruction of his home, the loss of his father and a sister, and the disbandment of his pack. As a loner living among his remaining immediately family, he was forced to grow up quickly and to hone his fishing and survival skills just as fast. Several months after the return of his father and sister, the family unit separated, with he and a handful of others going on to help found New Caledonia while his parents and remaining family set out for Old Ironsides. Percival furthered his fishing skills in New Caledonia and began a career as a diplomat as well. He rose in the ranks, eventually joining the High Nobility, first in the Court of Dawn before switching to the Court of Dusk following the war. Percy maintained his status within the pack until its tumultuous disbandment. Searching for longterm stability and unwilling to eke out an existence as a loner, Percival joined Salsola in mid-February 2023. |

Summary |
|
Percival is primarily dog and it shows in the roughness of his coat, his v-shaped drop ears, and his long, sickle-shaped tail. He is of average size and build and has fur that is thick, wavy, and quite wiry. Percy has a mustache and beard set at the end of a strong jaw and his brown eyes are typically half-hidden beneath a characteristic scowl that is exaggerated by his dark, thick brows. Although he prefers his Optime form, Percy does not care to don a lot of clothing. He will often wear a cloak and he may dress for special occasions but he is otherwise more comfortable wearing little else. Perhaps a little unusually, he does not grow a mane; the fur at his head remains short and relatively smooth, with few flyaways, when he shifts. Percival sports an earthy palette of tans that vary in shade, with paler hues found ventrally and dark shades on the dorsal aspect of his body. His darkest markings are found on his face and ears. |

Key Family Relationships |
His two older brothers, Logan Cormier and Bramble Parhelion, were figures that Percival looked up to while growing up. Logan's work ethic and outgoing nature were more admirable to Percy than Bramble's wild recklessness, but being older than he was always left him with a feeling of reverence toward them. He appreciated Bramble's skills and courage after Krokar's disbandment, but he has since lost touch with both of his elder brothers since they went to live at the Old Ironsides Trade Depot.
Thistle Cormier is his youngest brother and the sibling that Percy knows the least about. He was born in the spring following Krokar's disbandment and the return of his father and sister, Daisy. At the time, Percival was heavily involved in helping to provide for the family unit while also working through his own troubles and other relationships. When his parents left for Old Ironsides Trade Depot they took Thistle with them and Percy hasn't had the opportunity to develop a relationship with him.
Perhaps the most revered, Willow Cormier is Percy's older half-sister. She had departed from Krokar before he and his sisters were born, so he grew up only hearing stories about her. She returned after the pack's disbandment, however, and he was able to develop a close relationship to her. She and Percy, as with Daisy, too, share a deep bond with the River Goddess (or New Caledonia's equivalent, Nín) and he was able to learn much from her. He has lost touch with her since she departed from New Caledonia.

5. History
Percival Parhelion is the son of Eliza Cormier and Milos Parhelion, born in one of the last litters of Krokar before its untimely disbandment at the end of October in 2018. Raised by his loving parents in an atmosphere of safety, camaraderie, and peace, Percival's early childhood was simple and good. He started learning the basics of fishing before he could shift, often joining his father and Taseko out on the lakes and rivers where he watched and listened as they cast their lines or nets. It was also from Taseko that Percy acquired his interest in spirituality, specifically animism.
On October 25th, 2018, Percival's life was abruptly and irreversibly altered after the village of Fiskebyn, where most of Krokar's members lived, and surrounding Aster's Fields were destroyed by arson. The fire left their village uninhabitable, their supplies ruined, and their animals scattered. But it also brought other forms of tragedy: death and loss. Two pack mates, and several animals, perished in the flames and both his father and his sister, Daisy went missing during the chaos of the fire.
With the disbandment of the only pack he's ever known, Percival was forced to navigate a life of homelessness while also coping with the disappearance of two important members of his family. Miraculously, a few months after their disappearance, Milos and Daisy found their small band in the Saint John's Chokehold and the family was reunited. Though grateful and relieved, however, a notable wedge had been driven between he and his father that Percival never fully acknowledged or addressed, but which helped to spur into action his decision to help found a new pack called New Caledonia.
After the formation of the new pack was complete, the family unit split into two with the majority of the Cormier-Parhelion family leaving for the Old Ironsides Trade Depot in Portland while Percival, Daisy, Inara, Willow, and Toklo departed to their new home in New Caledonia. Percival resided there as a High Lord of the Dusk Court, holding the co-ranks of Diplomat III, Piscator II, and Magister I, until its disbandment in late January 2023.
