any Percedal hcs :>?
Percedal absolutely talks to his sword (even when Rubilax isn’t responding). It’s a half habit, half comfort thing. He’s the kind of guy who forgets plans immediately but somehow remembers every compliment Eva has ever given him.
Thinks he’s amazing at stealth. He is not. Everyone just lets him believe it.
Eats like he’s in a constant eating contest; especially anything grilled or overly seasoned. Secretly loves sweets but tries to act like they’re “not manly,” 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. He’s incredibly observant when it comes to her mood, even if he can’t 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 wouldn’t know who he is. Strength isn’t just a trait to him. It’s 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.
He’s 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 he’s really stressed, he grips his sword tighter, not for battle, but because it grounds him.
He tries to “fix” problems physically (training harder, protecting more) when what he actually needs is emotional support.
He’s 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 Amalia’s 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.
Percedal’s dynamics with Amalia and Ruel are way more interesting than they look on the surface. They’re both very different relationships, and yet they both bring out unique sides of him.
Percedal acts like he doesn’t take Amalia seriously sometimes, but when things get critical, he listens to her without hesitation.
He sees her as “the one who actually knows what she’s doing,” even if he’d never phrase it that way.
Early on, he used to have this I’ll 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.
He’s more aware of her stress than people expect. If she’s overwhelmed, he’ll try to lighten the mood (badly, but sincerely).
He respects how much responsibility she carries, even if he doesn’t 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 Ruel’s 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 he’s good at giving advice. The advice is… hit or miss.
Gets overly competitive about everything, even things that don’t 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. He’ll then confidently claim he can fix it. Don't believe him, he absolutely cannot.
