Appearance:
Persifor is a brawny young man of average height, appearing to be of mixed Taldan and Varisian descent. He has blue-green eyes that look like the sea, and darkest brunette hair he keeps tied in a ponytail. He dresses in the crisp, clean uniform of Andoran's military, advertising his allegiances to all. Around his neck, however, hangs a wooden amulet of a seagull, painted gold with two blue circles on the wings.
Personality:
While not an Eagle Knight yet, Persifor is every bit the kind of person one might expect from their order; an outgoing and friendly man, who will talk to complete strangers as if they'd been friends for years. An unflinching champion of justice, mercy and liberty. A naive blowhard who can't keep his nose out of other peoples' business, seeking to help even when he's not wanted. He spends a lot of his free time staring out at the sea, appearing to listen for something in the crash of the surf that only he can hear.
Background:
Ever since childhood, Persifor had strange dreams of the sea, of swimming beneath stormy waves, watching strange and massive creatures swim by in the dark and of a fist-sized pearl, shining and choking in the deep. When awakened by nightmares, his Varisian mother would hold him and comfort him with stories of Harborwing, the Empyreal Lord Ylimancha, claiming she'd protect him in his dreams and his father out at sea as a sailor in Andoran's navy.
It wasn't long before Persifor's visions followed him into the waking world, as he found he had a strong sense for peoples' feelings and attitudes, almost an aura he could see just vaguely and found could be affected by how he spoke with them, as well as vague flashes of an object's history while holding it. He eventually followed his father into the Navy and served with distinction enough to be sent to Almas, where he was invited to the Golden Aerie. It was here that he received more formal education, not just in combat, which he already had a basic understanding of, but history and diplomacy. After reading Darl Jubbanich's classic On Government he kept a copy of it on him at all times. It wouldn't be long before he was told he was being given his first real test, which would determine whether he was worthy to join the Eagle Knights. He was dispatched to join the second wave of colonists sailing for Talmandor's Bounty, to act as a guide and guard to the fledgling colony.
