Trauma! 

Percy: "His whole family (minus his sister Cassandra) got massacred by Delilah and Sylas Briarwood, and he got endlessly tortured by Anna Ripley till he managed to escape.

He lated had to confront the Briarwoods again, and almost got fully possesed by the demon he made a deal with to get vengance"

“Watched his whole family get murdered in front of him and then got tortured in the basement of their family home for like 2 weeks. Then escaped, nearly died, accidentally sold his soul to a vengeance demon and invented guns. The white hair happens sometimes during the torture basement. All this shit happened before the actual series started, in which he and his friends fight gods and dragons and shit, and he has to watch the woman he loves die like 3 separate times. He was personally rejected by several gods. I love him and so does trauma”

“Whole family killed by vampires in front of him”

“- witnessed the murder of his entire family at age 18 and was tortured for information

- nearly drowned then dissociated for 5 years with no money

- roped into a pact by a demon who influenced him into vengeance

- accidentally killed the love of his life once (she got better) 

- has died and been resurrected two (2) times

- had his soul chomped on by a demon for a bit 

- witnessed the near end of the world multiple times 

- is british </3”

“deranged evil couple and their minions slaughtered his family when he was a teenager, he escaped (barely), and the whole thing was so traumatic his hair turned white”

“entire family killed by cunty vampire/necromancer couple. tortured too i think. then possessed by a demon while he invented guns”

“his family of dad, mom, and 5 other siblings were killed by a duo called the briarwoods, also afterwards he got captured and was tortured by one of the people working for them. his little sister cassandra managed to free him but as they were running away she was shot by arrows and percy in the heat of the moment left her behind and he now thinks she's dead and it's his fault. the trauma from this literally turned his hair from brown to completely white. he's anywhere from 16-18 when this happens btw”

“his whole family was murdered including all his siblings and he barely escaped and that's why his hair turned white. and then he invented guns about it. and there's a demon in his head driving his self-destructive revenge quest and slowly munching on his soul and he doesn't know it. really important to know that he was smart enough to know all the consequences of inventing gun in fantasy world and he went through with that anyway. he made the choice to sacrifice thousands of future lives in exchange for his own revenge and then he absolutely regrets it forever. he was going to be a clockmaker when he grew up and then all that happened to him and now all he can create is violence. and he's only 20something. he should be at the robotics and engineering club !!”

“Exandria's hottest murder couple, well, murdered Percy's entire family except for him and his younger sister. After weeks of torture, Percy - with his new trauma whitened hair - and his sister attempt to escape. She's felled by arrows, he escapes to form a pact with a vengeance demon to one day avenge his family. He was a teen when all that happened so most of his life is spent with trauma white hair, which I feel is rather impressive in its own right.”

Propaganda!

Percy: “He's wonderful but he is definitely not cool. He's a lame ass nerd. His wife on the other hand,”

“Literally invented fantasy guns to get revenge on the aforementioned vampires.”

“his white hair is LITERALLY from his trauma, the white hair and trauma are intrinsically LINKED!! also the trauma DID make him a worse person but then the love made him a better person. the trauma still shapes him but now he uses it as a lesson, as a warning, as a reminder to be better. he IS white hair trauma man”

“Guy who invented guns in his world. Also once blew himself up jumping into water with a sodium chunk to win a cannonball contest (not cool exactly, incredibly stupid and funny, but the fact that sodium explodes in water is cool)”

“got so fucked up he invented guns. NOBODY is doing it like him”

“percy best boy !! his arc deals with trying to reckon with first his self-destructive quest for vengeance and then second his guilt over how he invented firearms (this is a whole thing, he lives in a fantasy dnd world called exandria and invented the Gun to hunt down the people that killed his family). anyway over the course of his arc he learns that even if you think you deserve to die for what you've done there are still people that love you and need you and don't see you as the monster that you think yourself to be. and you might not be able to undo your mistakes but you still have to keep living for those around you. i love him :)”

"READ SPECTROPHOBIA BY KHIO ON AO3 DOT ORG he's the ""what if you were in a fantasy story and there was a guy with a gun"" played for dead serious tragedy. he's a dork he's an emo he's tumblr's number one petty bitch !! he's even asian to me. he thought his friends weren't real for a solid like 3 years because surely something this good couldn't be happening to him and he must still be rotting in a prison cell with no one coming to save him. he has a dex of 21 he does a naruto run and has the anime glasses glow in the animated show. he keeps using the stupid defective gun that shoots psychic damage lightning bolts into his fucking brain when it misfires. his glasses have extra lenses because he is just that extra. he's a character made to be doomed to die a horrible deserved (<- according to the guy who created him) death but when he did die he was saved by the narrative because the narrative is his friends who convince him he deserves to live. he was going to be a clockmaker. he has a billion names and older brother guilt and a revenge quest and a demon in his head and he has occupied my brain full force for over a YEAR please please please please please please please pl"
