Percival Thompson

Percival Thompson is a character role-played by Noir_PI

Background
Percival Thompson was born in the town of Dunblane, Stirlingshire (in Scotland) on March 6, 1994, the son of Gillian (nee Watson) and William Thompson. His mother and father both of full Scottish descent. His mother was a writer, not too well known and never quite getting any kind of success. His father on the other hand was the one paying the bills, being a senior manager at the Bank of Scotland. A year after Percival was born, the parents gave birth to a daughter, Sarah Thompson.

Just two months after the birth of Sarah - William and Gillian perished in a house fire. This lead to both Percival and Sarah being taken in by their grandparents: Robert and Catherine Thompson (nee Brown). The two were too young to have any memory of their parents, and were raised a fairly normal life.

Throughout his school years, Percival faced a lot of bullying as he was deemed an outcast for his strange behaviour. His interest in mysticism, urban legends and just not being very social in general resulted in him being deemed a freak, bullies often referring to him as a "mutant". Percival struggled throughout the years with being beat up, talked down to and laughed at on a near daily basis.

He powered through, maintaining his school work and getting great reputation with his teachers. In his free time, reading books of the occult and "alchemy", which really excited him. He began to frequent a small oddity shop in his town called "The Majestic Quill" that was owned by an older man, Benjamin Clark. The shop didn't get too much attention for its niche products, but almost every day after school, he took notice to Percival's interest in the products.

After around a year of re-occurring visits, Benjamin showed Percival the secret room in the back which had many strange objects and books, along with a very unique stench. He called it the alchemy lab - this is where he taught Percival everything he knew about alchemy, oddities, strange creatures, rituals and the like. This eventually turned into Percival essentially attending after school "classes", where he learned all about the strange and otherworldly.

As he grew to his late teens, he had learned all that Benjamin had to teach him. He set out on his own, began to travel the world where he went on many adventures in search of unique ingredients, cryptids, secret places and whatever else he could find that piqued his interest. As the world became more like the modern one we know, the uprising of technology also excited Percival as he had something else to be passionate about.

His passion for technology is a recent one, but it's one he's very clearly excited about! Now that he's nearing the age of 30, he wants to start the next chapter of his life - he wants to move to a different country filled with new opportunities...that's why he decided that his next stop is going to be the violent city of Los Santos. He's heard of many supernatural and strange events from this city, so he may have a new home!
