Percival Adams Breaking the Seal (Patreon)

Character Name: Percival Adams, Human Wizard

Percival Adams, Percy to his friends, is a wizard from a war torn world.  He is well versed in the foundations of magic, and the details of how magic works and fits together. He works with magic like a scientist or engineer works with machines. He is strongly against relying on the gods from his world as he sees them as having caused nothing but war and turmoil and is determined to find a way to remove them from the equation. He is generally good natured but when he not sure of how things are going to work out will tend to cover his uncertainty with cocky wisecracking and jibes. He has two snake familiars that are tattooed onto his arms. His opinion of the world in many cases is seen as a place of experimentation and analysis and he can sometimes put cold logic over compassion in his decision making unless he truly cares about the people involved.

He grew up in a wizard's college before getting in a disagreement with the headmaster about some of the testing requirements and struck out on his own. During the then traveled to the Feywild and was there for 200 years. While there he met an Eladrin and lived with her for many years. As time passed she left on some adventure and he learned she had died. At this point Percival had spent so long in the Feywild he was unable to leave on his own. Because of this he made a deal with Titania to be able to go back to the material plane at the same time he had left but in exchange he can't access most of his memory of the Feywild (197 years) and has a geas that he will return and become the Summer Knight. After leaving the Feywild he got work in a city and secured passage to Arkasia, the Land of the Dead God. Before leaving he found his way into a tavern in a demiplane where he met a Elven woman named Lilith with whom he fell in love with. They had their share of fun in the tavern with drinking, dancing and other games before having to part ways and go off on to their own worlds once more. He traveled to Arkasia, surviving an attack from the undead as well as a shipwreck and storm before reaching landfall and returning quite by accident to the tavern. There he found Lilith who had lost part of her memory. So he instinctively drew on his magic power that had laid mostly dormant since he'd left the Feywild and cast a spell far beyond what he thought he was capable of restoring her memory of their time in the tavern together.

Doing this kind of magic took its toll on him however, manipulating the Summer Queen's sealing magic is no easy task, and it caused great physical strain on him. The mark on his chest burned like blacksmith's coals and old wounds of fail magic rituals reopened. He only actually lived because of the quick action of a nearby cleric and the, unknown to the patrons, magic properties of the tavern itself. Not only did the magic take a toll on him but on the rose he crafted as well it fractured and tarnished after the spell completed. In the end, he succeeded.
