Character name: Percival Fraulein
Series: Suikoden III
Age: 26
Job: Personal Success Counselor
Canon: Suikoden 3 takes place in a world rife with conflict, may it be over territory, cultural differences, or power. While the animosity between the six clans of the Grasslands and the Zexen Federation may appear to be the problem at the start, the real issue lies with one man's plan to unleash chaos unto the land. A masked bishop is collecting the five elemental True Runes, the gods of this world, and plans to abuse them for his own purposes. Former enemies become allies under the flag of the Flame Champion, a long-gone hero of the Grasslands, and his Fire Bringer supporters, and a race to stop the masked man's apocalyptic wish starts.
Joining the fight as a member of the Fire Bringer, Percival is one of Zexen's best knights. A commoner by birth, he had to work his way to his current position in a classic rags-to-riches manner. While he can come across as rather reserved about his work, Percival also enjoys teasing those around him and knows how to relax when he has time to do so, may it be drinking with his fellow knights or spending time with his many female fans. Whether at work or play, though, he tends to keep his gentlemanly demeanor and only slips into a less courteous tone of voice when dealing with things he deems below him, such as being cast as a sheep in a play. Even then, he'll at least try to put up a good face, if only to maintain the honor of the Knights.
Sample Entry:
Can a giant squid achieve more than she expected out of life? Most certainly.
Marcy, you may think that because you are confined within this eerily colored lake that your options are limited, but you musn't resign yourself to such defeat. This may be the first time I have advised a... squid, but I assure you that all beings can achieve success if guided properly. I have seen both ducks and lizards lead bravely, so do not belittle yourself. It is all a matter of will.
I myself went from being a farmer boy to part of the Zexen elite. While I take no issue to farming and raising animals, I opted to pursue knighthood, achieving it through my own efforts. Your path and my own differ greatly, but allow me to explain the parallels. You see, we both lived many years of our lives in small areas. In my hometown, I knew everyone by name, and you probably know all of your fellow lake residents as well. Or perhaps you... ate them all...? Whatever the case, our homes limit our range of experiences, and it is impossible to succeed without becoming more worldly. As such, I suggest taking that first step toward success and leaving this lake.
What of the lack of water? That is not a valid excuse! I have seen you rise up and out of this lake to attack campers along these shores, so I will not hear of any "I cannot operate out of the water" complaints. On that note, I do not suggest snacking upon people. No one will appreciate you for that, and it will only hinder your progress. Unless you wish to pursue the career of Professional Monster? While your size lets you fill the role easily, your residence is far too small to make a real impact. The open waters are where a true sea monster should be, not in a lake located at a children's camp. You must have damsels in distress in your grips and knights in shining armor as your opponents, not children. Ah, ah--That was not an invitation for you to attack me. I stand here as your counselor, not your foe. Even if I am clad in armor.
As I was saying, I suggest you move to the open waters as soon as possible. You will never make a name for yourself at such an unknown location. Your chance will likely come with the next flood waters, and I fully expect to see you gone from this horrid lake when that happens. I will see nothing but success from you, Marcy.
Now, simply follow those instructions, and you'll soon find yourself ruling the high seas. You will have would-be heroes come after you! When they do, be sure to slay all but one of his party. This way, the lone survivor can return and tell stories of your greatness. Tales of terrifying beasts will spread quickly, and you, Marcy, will become known as the most treacherous of all sea creatures. Your name will go down in history!
