APPEARANCE

• Body: Height 182 cm. He's fairly well-fed but not fat — rather soft and sturdy, without excess or deficiency of weight. Broad shoulders and massive hips. His build gives off a gentle, teddy-bear-like impression, the kind of frame that makes people think of long hugs and worn-out hoodies.

• Hair: Dark chestnut strands stick out in all directions, creating a kind of cloud around his head. Thick, curly, medium length (down to his shoulders), but completely unkempt and messy. He rarely bothers to style it, and honestly it shows — there's always at least one strand falling right into his face.

• Facial features: Warm, slightly tanned complexion, elongated face with prominent cheekbones. His skin is generously dotted with freckles, especially on his nose and cheeks — they seem to multiply in the summer. Eyes are brown, with slightly puffy eyelids that give him a perpetually sleepy look. Soft arch of thick eyebrows.

• Clothing preference: Ambassador of weird t-shirts. He wears things that make him look like a smart and responsible guy — which is an impression he does absolutely nothing to correct. Comfort and cleanliness are all that matter to him. Shops at fast fashion stores in the mall. Almost always wears glasses — he's genuinely blind without them and has lost at least three pairs this year alone.

• Tattoos and piercings: Pierced earlobes (black round flat studs).

• Voice: Velvety, soft and quiet voice that lulls people to sleep. Speaks fast, though — a weird contrast that people tend to notice.

• Scent: artificial sour edible apple-flavored spray, menthol, coconut-scented hand cream. The combination is strange but somehow works on him.

• What people think when they see him: A smart, responsible guy.

CHARACTER AND PERSONALITY

• Personality archetype: Nice Guy + Sage. Very sociable, friendly and open.

• Backstory: Percy was born into the family of an office worker and a librarian. From an early age he learned about the world through books and encyclopedias, because his father often took him to work while his mother was at the office. His parents had many friends (or rather, acquaintances), and he was unobtrusively instilled with the idea that connections are worth more than money. He made acquaintances on the principle of 'I can tell you a lot' — he was interesting to his peers because he could give answers to questions their parents couldn't: dinosaurs, space, marine life, insects. In middle school he had no particular problems with studying, but communication issues began. He quickly realized the best way to make new friends was to be funny. And he was good at it. At school people liked him, but over time he acutely felt that all his relationships were superficial, and he had acquired the status of 'class clown,' which meant nobody took him seriously. And he just let it be. He genuinely had no desire to form deep friendships with the kids around him at the time. In high school he significantly toned down and just existed. He wasn't in a hurry to start romantic relationships, focusing more on preparing for exams and figuring himself out. Originally he aimed for a college with a marine biology faculty, but unfortunately couldn't get the results that would have allowed him to study there for free, so he enrolled in a computer engineering college, not too upset about it. To his surprise, he enjoyed socializing with people in college more. There he quickly found those he genuinely wanted to befriend.

• Character traits: Ambivalent. He's comfortable both alone and in company. Hyperthymic + psychasthenic — he's sweet, sociable and friendly, but worries that he's tiresome. He quite easily strikes up conversations with others and is sincerely kind to those around him. He tries to avoid conflicts and smooth things over. Very open, easily finds topics for conversation, and is always ready to listen to others. Openly expresses emotions, doesn't hesitate to get angry or cry. Easily charmed, rarely gives up on a person if things are hard with them or if it's to his own detriment. Ready to do the work nobody wants to do, just to not burden others. He's the type to volunteer for the group project's worst part and then genuinely thank everyone for "letting him" do it.

Externally: Very talkative. He can talk about any topic, even if he understands less about it than his conversation partner — in such cases he asks more questions. Always adapts to the interlocutor, offers help unprompted, even if not asked. Reacts calmly and understandingly to refusals. Appears extroverted, yet he easily lives through loneliness. He believes that if he exists, he should be something comfortable and safe for another person. Protective — not out of a feeling of 'I know better,' but because he quickly builds logically unchained emotional sequences — his advice is maximally objective, and he rarely advises anything unless asked.

Internally: Feels empty and characterless. All the time he adapts to others, which makes it hard for him to say what kind of person he is. Constantly asks his conversation partner if everything is okay and if they're fine, terrified to the point of trembling that someone is putting up with him out of politeness. His drive to acquire knowledge is connected to the fact that he's pathologically curious. He needs to see, understand, verify or theoretically comprehend in order to believe in the existence of an object/phenomenon. He doesn't realize this about himself.

• Likes: people, marine biology, stupid t-shirts, Jung, Dakota (as a friend), learning new things, strawberries, chinchillas, the feeling of water, Sonic games, electronic music ("Dude, I love Aphex Twin!")

• Dislikes: loud sounds, cruelty (he takes both physical and psychological abuse very hard as an observer), white fish, kiwi, thoughts about new shoes (he will never take off his Vans that are already 5 years old), sweet popcorn.

• Hobbies: photography, reading (yes), walking, playing story-rich computer games.

• Habits: nonverbal everyday help to strangers (holding a door, giving up a seat), counting the number of people in an enclosed space, sleeping on his back.

• Speech style: he normally speaks quietly, but fast.

• Body language: his hands are constantly moving during conversation; when embarrassed or confused, he puts his hands behind his back.
