Percedal absolutely talks to his sword (even when Rubilax isnât responding). Itâs a half habit, half comfort thing. Heâs the kind of guy who forgets plans immediately but somehow remembers every compliment Eva has ever given him.
Thinks heâs amazing at stealth. He is not. Everyone just lets him believe it.
Eats like heâs in a constant eating contest; especially anything grilled or overly seasoned. Secretly loves sweets but tries to act like theyâre ânot manly,â which fools absolutely no one.
Falls asleep anywhere: mid-watch, mid-conversation, even leaning on his sword.
Around Eva, he tries to act more mature⊠and fails within minutes. Heâs incredibly observant when it comes to her mood, even if he canât always articulate it.
With Yugo, he switches between big brother energy and chaotic bad influence as Eva and Amalia would put it for the latter one.
Has definitely named some of his favorite attack moves, even when no one else could barely care or even remember them.
Would 100% try to adopt random creatures they encounter but only the ones he doesn't know can be cooked or roasted.
Laughs way too loudly at his own jokes.
Percedal quietly worries that without being an iop, he wouldnât know who he is. Strength isnât just a trait to him. Itâs his identity anchor. And the fact that he's literally the Iop God in his retirement, isn't helping either.
He sometimes trains alone at night, not to get stronger, but to prove to himself he still deserves to be called a warrior.
Heâs more affected by failure than he lets on; he just processes it physically (training, fighting, pushing himself harder) instead of emotionally.
Sometimes he asks Rubilax for advice and immediately argues with him⊠only to follow him later anyway.
When heâs really stressed, he grips his sword tighter, not for battle, but because it grounds him.
He tries to âfixâ problems physically (training harder, protecting more) when what he actually needs is emotional support.
Heâs the emotional shield of the group. He absorbs tension by turning it into humor or action.
Has a quiet fear of being left behind, physically or emotionally, by those he cares about.
Being the reincarnation of the Iop god will also make him overthink about losing everyone. Being left behind or being way too ahead of the others are his main dilemmas.
Around Yugo, he acts like the older brother who encourages bravery but also accidentally encourages reckless decisions.
He trusts Amaliaâs leadership more than he openly admits; when things get serious, he instinctively follows her calls.
After tough fights, he replays moments in his head, just to wonder how cooler he could have looked like instead.
Percedalâs dynamics with Amalia and Ruel are way more interesting than they look on the surface. Theyâre both very different relationships, and yet they both bring out unique sides of him.
Percedal acts like he doesnât take Amalia seriously sometimes, but when things get critical, he listens to her without hesitation.
He sees her as âthe one who actually knows what sheâs doing,â even if heâd never phrase it that way.
Early on, he used to have this Iâll protect you mindset around Amalia simply because he used to only see her princess title. But over time, he realized she didn't need the attention after all.
That shift turns into something healthier; he fights with her, not just for her.
They absolutely bicker like siblings, more like fraternal twins who had different moms if that makes any sense.
Amalia gets fed up with his impulsiveness and Percedal gets annoyed when she overthinks or hesitates.
But their arguments rarely last long; they both cool down fast.
Heâs more aware of her stress than people expect. If sheâs overwhelmed, heâll try to lighten the mood (badly, but sincerely).
He respects how much responsibility she carries, even if he doesnât fully understand it. He just somehow has a feeling that he has always understood her tough decisions. If Amalia gives him an order in battle, he follows it instantly, mostly because he loves how chaotic her and Yugo's lives still are.
Percedal 100% sees Ruel as that shady-but-reliable uncle figure.
He complains about Ruelâs greed constantly⊠but also expects him to always come through in the end.
Ruel thinks Percedal is reckless and stupid and Percedal thinks Ruel is cheap and sneaky.
Dally will eat without thinking about cost while Ruel will always think about cost.
That led to endless arguments because Ruel JUST KNOWS that every time they go to an inn, he's gotta stand over him like a hawk.
Ruel occasionally gives him practical advice about survival, deals, or reading people. Dally, on the other hand, pretends to ignore them since he'd often claim he already knows all that stuff, but actually absorbs more than he admits.
They both sometimes team up in the worst possible ways (usually involving bad ideas or shortcuts).
Dally absolutely believes heâs good at giving advice. The advice is⊠hit or miss.
Gets overly competitive about everything, even things that donât make sense to compete over.
Out of everyone in the group, he'll most definitely be the one always breaking AT LEAST one thing wherever they go. Heâll then confidently claim he can fix it. Don't believe him, he absolutely cannot.
