Per’kele

Appearance

Per’kele is a strange type of jester, he isn’t human anymore, so he had a few inhuman, unnatural details in his appearance. it appears that his face is painted half black (right side), and half white (left side), but this actually follows through on his entire body. Therefore, his entire body is half black, half white. He wears a strange green hat with two pointed ends on either side that look similar to devil horns, there is a third pointed horn that actually curls inward then out to create a circle. He wears green robes and has a green neck ruff, however, once he takes off his robes there is more to both his outfit and his body. As his torso appears to be decomposed or damaged, it’s possible to see his ribcage and his insides at his torso. If touched it doesn’t hurt Per’kele, and feels to be a thick layer that is able to protect itself as if it’s armor or his skin. He wears a green ruffle garment around his waist as well, while he has hands, his arms also happen to be green wings. If he is wearing his robes, you can’t tell that his arms also double as wings. His wings are actually long, large, but easy to conceal with his robes, his wings are the most damning detail of the fact that he is no longer human. His eyes are black, and he always has a smile even when he is sad, angry, or afraid.

Personality

Per'kele is a mysterious servant of that used to serve the Trickster Moon God, Rher. He served as Rher’s voice since the God is seen from far away. Per'kele was simply serving Rher to pursue his own goals and ideas in mind. He does not serve Rher as the Old God was already gone by this point, but another God called the Sulfur God and leads the Cult of Sulfur. Once a mortal human, Per'kele stumbled upon a Termina festival in a bygone era,it was the moment when he felt he "was truly born." Now, he is an immortal being, but his true goals and intentions are still unknown/unclear to others. As a Cult Leader, he is currently trying to bring others in to join his cult, but in order to join they must survive the Termina Festival, defeat him in battle, or do both. He is known for lying, so for all that is known Rher is actually still around. He can be intelligent, but also arrogant, egotistical, and cruel. He seems to enjoy battle and partaking in violence, and likes blood. He thinks rather highly of himself and treats a majority of humans as inferior or dumb, he can become infuriated when someone calls him out for being unfair or not telling the whole truth. He will even treat humans whom are curious about his past and the gods as though they are dumb, as if they should already know or simply should know better than to seek the knowledge. It is possible for him to gain curiosity over a person, god, or other being, if they are both mysterious and able to foil/ruin any plans he has. He is not easily impressed, but should he suspect someone knows something he doesn’t, has a unique power, or prove to be incredibly powerful, he will seek them out.

Abilities

Can appear in people’s dreams and control their dreams. Extremely strong, powerful, and fast, he is difficult to defeat in combat as he knows many devastating magical spells and attacks. He can cast Hurting, which removes a limb from the opponent, and Black Orb, a magical ball of concentrated negative energy that can be hurled at an opponent. Feather Rain- Shoots multiple sharp feathers at once at an opponent. Lunar Meteorite- a heavy ball of fire is hurled at the opponent, it looks like a meteorite but is a special type of magic spell. Can guard with his wings, this will deflect magical or otherworldly attacks. He can probably fly, but nobody has seen him do this.

Context

Termina is centred around The Trickster Moon God, Rher, he had decided to 'invite' fourteen people to the town of Prehevil to "join his jubilee of cosmic proportions". While the residents of both the town and area seem aware of the festival, none of the fourteen participants knew the fate placed upon them beforehand. It is a battle royale type of event where only one of the contestants should remain alive in order to retrieve a divine prize. However, it is possible for almost all but one person to survive the three day festival in Prehevil, however, at least one participant must be sacrificed for the rest of the participants to leave and survive. This festival only occurs once in a rare period where the moon becomes a sickly green, the moon has a face that smiles and stares down at the contestants in wicked malevolence. The villagers that live in Prehevil are all sick and dying, but hold onto the ancient rites and macabre traditions of the gods. Secrets can be uncovered in the town’s most dark and mysterious corners. Per’kele is the mastermind of the festival, and is the person who helped set the event in action.
