Charm isn't a full brother of Halfy. Instead, the two are half-siblings, having the same mother but different fathers. However, Charm and Halfy's dads were themselves siblings, so their relationship isn't as distant as it seems. And yes, this does mean that Charmy is also not a full-blood Civilian, just like with Halfy.

The arcade that Charm works at is pretty big, featuring a playground, a small restaurant, a fountain, a café, and even a bowling alley. He's pretty well-liked there, as his friendly aura and charisma help out a lot in settling fights.

Charm's vision is quite different from that of a regular civilian. Besides his eyes being grey, he has very strong color vision. Scenes at night look remarkably vivid to him to the point that daytime and nighttime don't even seem that different from his point of view. However, this comes at the cost of his vision being VERY sensitive to direct sunlight, thus requiring him to wear shades during daytime. At least his retinas (and other parts of his ocular anatomy) can regenerate...

Charm is indeed gay. He's only romantically and/or sexually interested in men. He does get along well with other genders too, though.

Unlike with Halfy, who has hair that doubles as tentacles, Charm instead gets proper tentacles that pop out from between his shoulder blades. However, these tentacles are hidden under his clothes, instead peeking out from his sleeves or from under his shirt (which makes it look more like a tail).

Charm is rarely ever sad. He is noted for having a positive and optimistic outlook on life, as well as being good at thinking up alternative approaches when something ruins a plan.

Charm is pretty lost in the aesthetics of the 1980s and 1990s, if his love of bright colors and cool shades didn't give it away. He's also noted for not really "acting his age"- he's sometimes been mistaken for a teenager.

Charm got his nickname for being, well, charming. Something about being around him can lift one's mood up just even a little bit. He used to be nicknamed Charlie in his youth instead, but he didn't like the nickname, viewing it as infantilizing.

Charm can speak both English and French, just like his sister Halfy.

Charm's birthdate is December 24th, making him a Christmas Eve baby. Due to this, Christmas is his favorite time of the year... and his father's favorite time of the year as well.

Charm could care less that he is noticeably fat (and has been since his teens). He could not care less about being short either (unlike Halfy, he takes after his mom in terms of height).

In the Bunker Crew AU, Pursuer is able to assume the form of a Civilian (Civilians are almost identical to humans and fill the role of humans in their world, with the biggest difference to them and humans like those in real life is that some have a natural affinity for magic, whether they know it or not). It's not something Pursuer was always able to do, but it is a natural extension of the skeletal manipulation abilities that all Pursuers have. Normally, a Pursuer's control over its own skeletal system is really only useful for things like squeezing into tight spaces and triggering their invisibility, but due to a certain incident, this specific Pursuer has now extended that control to their muscular system, skin, and even internal organs. With this level of fine control over their own anatomy, Pursuer can go from being a tall, fearsome beast... to being just like any other Civilian you could meat- I mean meet!

Well, it's not really a perfect transformation. His eyes, hair, and nails are still accented with that distinctive green pigment that male Pursuers produce, and you'd definitely notice something off if you were to pry him open and see his innards. He also has pink blood (this isn't accurate to his depiction in the Die of Death game where everyone has red blood, but whatever, I think it looks funny), and while it does look red when fresh if it comes out of his body while he's Percy, but it does turn pinkish as it rusts. Besides that, the main issue Percy has to deal with like this is that maintaining extreme alterations to his body requires him to remain full and sane. It's not as easy as it looks; he can't just survive off store-brought food, he has to still eat "fresh meat" (i.e. the meat of a freshly killed being), or else he'll slowly have his sanity consumed by hunger, and if he doesn't have any fresh meat for over 8 days, he won't be able to maintain his Civilian form at all and will go back to being Pursuer until he can be full again. While Percy hasn't yet been observed showing that big of a range of emotion, it might be best that he doesn't truly get mad (outside of being "hangry") that often, as it's suspected that if he royally pissed off or was put into a big enough state of acute stress, he would be forced to change back as well. Currently, the Bunker Crew doesn't fully understand why this anatomical manipulation ability only work correctly when Percy's "sober" unlike with his natal abilities, though if Bhut "Ghost" Jolokia had any guesses, he thinks that this ability is specifically fueled by the inherit "life force" that all creatures produce while alive and is quickly lost within hours upon death, but it's just a hypothesis.
