History
Percy is the second child of Avengers Dominika and Maria Novikova, also former agents of SHIELD. His parents were part of the West Coast Avengers, regularly jaunting off to go save the world (or at least, the west coast of the United States). When the Avengers then transitioned from having limited and fixed rosters to becoming a global force where any Avenger could be called to respond at any moment, the family remained in San Fransisco. His parents would be taken off to work with a teleporter, whereas Percy and his sister Diana (three years his elder) would be put in daycare with the other Avengers kids.
Growing up, Percy was never really interested in playing with other kids. He liked to read, devouring just about any book that he could get his hands on. The classics were always his favorite. He was obsessed with Ancient Greece and its mythology, imprinting heavily on the Percy Jackson series (after all, he had the same name as the protagonist). When he wasn't reading, he would be off exploring, sometimes ending up in areas he had no business being. And when those and his other hobbies failed him, he'd watch reality TV with his moms and sister - he loved to criticize the outfits. It was his favorite part.
His sister's mutant power manifested first, as she displayed the ability to teleport. Percy was slightly jealous, thinking up what sort of cool power he might get. He had a little diary he carried around with him, where he'd record anything that could potentially be the sign of a power manifesting - ironically, he missed his power when it first came about. He had been wandering around in Chinatown and didn't notice that he could roughly understand everything that was being said. It was a few months later that both of Percy's abilities had manifested.
He properly noticed his first power when out at dinner with his family, when he calmly ordered his food in fluent Italian, despite only speaking English and Russian. His secondary power, a variation of his sister's power, he discovered while at school in gym class. It was dodgeball day and Percy suddenly disappeared and reappeared about ten feet away, just as a ball had been about to nail him in the head.
His sister had already been attending Avengers Academy for a little while before Percy was enrolled. It's his first year at the institute, as well as his freshman year of high school. And while he won't admit it, he's a little bit excited.
Personality
Percy does not behave like a fourteen year old boy - he's spiritually much closer to an angry old man. He looks down on pretty much everyone, assuming that they're too thick, stupid, and/or clueless to make the observations that he can. He doesn't trust others to take care of things, having a tendency to micromanage. Of course, Percy is exceptionally brilliant and bright, meaning that not only is he egotistical and a bit of a narcissist... he's usually correct. People tend to be incredibly frustrated by him, for good reason.
However, Percy is incredibly and fiercely loyal. Family - by blood and the ones he choose - mean everything to him. He would destroy the world for the ones that he cares about, a viciously positive train he inherited from his mother Novikova. Other people in the world don't really matter to him. In his mind, it's he and his against everyone else, billions of souls who just cannot matter as much.
He's snarky and sarcastic, and prone to dark humor. No one would describe him as nice, but he can be kind to those he deems worthy. He doesn't care what other people think about him. As long as his loved ones are alive and healthy, they could see him as the devil and he'd be fine with that.
Traits
- Determination - Percy never gives up, even when he feels like he's at his worst. While demoralized, he does not gain trouble on all actions, though he still cannot maintain concentration or spend further Focus.
- Connections (Avengers) - Percy's mothers are members of the Avengers. By making an Ego check, Percy can call on his moms to provide help in the form of clues, information, or resources.
- Quick Learner - If Percy fails an action check, he gains an edge on the check if he tries the same action again on his next turn.
