Henry Percival

Percy

Supporting character
Love interest

19

Male

Faint stubble when he forgets to shave, but is usually clean-shaven

Short, straight

Warm, medium brown

5'9"

Scars on his back and hands

Very slim and slender, kinda willowy

White, freckled

Human

Green with hints of brown

A little headstrong
Bit of an inferiority complex (believes himself to be inferior because of being a bastard)

Gestures with his hands when he talks
Has a tendency to pace when he's thinking

Money, very much so. Mainly because of the way he grew up. He knows that if you've got money, you can do whatever you want, but if you're poor? No one's gonna do anything to help you, so you have to help yourself. So that's another part of his motivations. Helping himself and taking care of himself, and then others if he can, but only if he has the resources. If he cares for someone, like really truly cares about them, then they become part of his motivations as well.

That "natural", ie not bastard, children, are better than bastards, despite being a bastard himself and being a hell of a lot better than a lot of natural children. Basically sees bastards as inferior by default (a prejudice that is shared by many of his time period)

Sleight of hand
Thieving
Swordplay, but only with smaller swords, not the huge two-handed ones
Drawing
Cards

Practicing his sleight of hand
Art

Deep, crimson red

Daggers

An old necklace that used to belong to his mother

He'll eat just about anything, so he doesn't really have one

Thief
Richard IV's second-in-command

Believes that Richard IV (Richard Plantagenet) is the true and rightful king of England, and would follow him to the end. Believes that things should be based on merit and not birthright, but at the same time does believe birthright should have SOME effect on life. He believes, for example, monarchy should be by birthright, but that it should go to the eldest child irregardless of legitimacy or gender, so a female bastard that is older than a male legitimate child would still inherit first, rather than the male child.

None. He was raised in a Christian household until he was six, and after that his mother didn't really bother to take him to church, and he never had any interest in it anyways

Richard IV's second-in-command

Ravens

Unknown

Henry's mother was one of Lord Erasmus Percival's servants, and one day, Lord Percival took Henry's mother into bed, and the two had an affair that lasted until Henry was six years old. Until the affair ended, Henry was treated like any "natural" son of Lord Percival's was; indeed, Lord Percival's eldest was a year younger than Henry, and they were attended to by the same nanny. However, Lord Percival ended the affair and cast Henry's mother out onto the streets, where she turned to the only occupation she could: becoming a brothel worker. So Henry was brought up in that sort of world, in the slums of London, surrounded by low-lives. So it really is no wonder that he turned to thievery, learning swordplay somewhere along the line. He met Richard when he was 18 and Richard was 17, and at first was just near the prince because Richard offered to pay him for any and all knowledge that Henry could provide of London and of the Royal Court. Admittedly, Henry's knowledge of said court wasn't the best, but he knows London, especially the slums, like the back of his hand, and could provide invaluable knowledge to Richard. Eventually, the two started to become friends, once they both overcame certain prejudices that had gotten in the way. Henry is still paid by Richard, but only because Richard didn't want to seem like he was showing favoritism.

Noble education up until age six, and after that it is rather hodge podge. Is not the greatest at reading or , but can figure his way through a book if necessary.
