Personality:
A gentlemanly young man who loves, but is also very proficient in thieving. It has become a primary source of money for Perry, as well as a bit of a hobby. However, over time he found out that simple pickpocketing just simply doesn't cut it anymore, so he primarily focuses on bigger and more valuable targets. As bad as he may seem, however, Perry is quite an outgoing and sociable person who likes attention. He acquires the attention he craves by leaving notes on the scenes of crime, hinting at where he could possibly strike next, signing the cards as 'Black Cat'. With the wealth that he accumulates after successful thieving attempts he uses to buy himself fancy and rather expensive clothing articles, as well as fashionable accessories, hence why he sports a top hat, a monocle and even a cape. All in all, he would describe himself as charming and outgoing, while being also chill, but he can be quite flamboyant at times.
Perry is not quite fond of people asking him about his past, since there is nothing much to it, as he would say, and brush off the question as fast as possible. Although, while he is fond of attention and enjoys talking to others, he tends to avoid talking to the elderly population. They always have something 'smart' or 'wise' to say and the so-called 'advice' only leaves Perry in an irritable and sour mood afterwards. If he had to choose between being lonely or talking to an elderly person, he will gladly choose the lonely path. It may make him feel incredibly sad and somewhat depressed, but at least he can talk to himself without the fear of hearing wise remarks.
Perry is an illusionist and a trickster who enjoys playing tricks on people and their senses. Almost like a magician at a fair, one could say. At one moment he may be talking to a group of girls, the other he could be stealing, but people would swear that they saw him elsewhere.
Along the way he made friends with a strange creature from an another planet, whom he decided to call Nova. Even though Perry mostly worked by himself, having Nova by his side made a lot of things a lot easier. One can only wonder how Perry got through his life without Nova's supervision.
When engaged in combat, Perry is just as much of a trickster as outside of it. He flows around the battlefield, taking care of the enemies with style and elegance of a fashionable thief. Perry is fine with fighting in a team, but there is no way that he is leading someone. At least of his own volition. If he is given an order, he will obey, though he may or may not make a few personal adjustments to it to fit his preferences.
Likes:
✻ Attention - Perry very much basks in nearly any attention that he can get. Not that he thinks that the world should revere him, but he enjoys it when people talk to him and about him.
✻ Playful pranks - Perry is a trickster at heart, but he realises that not everybody shares such mindset. He likes playing pranks on people and over time he found out that he should just stick to non-harmful, playful ones.
✻ Thieving - Perry's hobby and calling. Thieving is a profession that he used and perfected to obtain wealth for himself. However, he is not the type of thief who will take anything that is not nailed down when nobody's looking. Instead, he sticks to greater targets, while challenging himself further and further.
✻ Clothing - If there is anything that Perry requires from himself, besides a successful thieving attempt, it's his looks. He needs to have stylish and fashionable clothes, otherwise he feels inferior, for whatever reason.
Dislikes:
✻ Loneliness - For somebody who enjoys getting attention, being alone for extended periods of time can lead to severe sadness and gloomy brooding.
✻ Easy targets - Pickpocketing clueless villagers used to be great practice for Perry, but nowadays he feels like it is just too easy, insulting his skills as a thief.
✻ Elderly - Who doesn't love a good dose of useless life advice and wisdom? Perry surely doesn't. Prolonged dialogues with this part of population will aggravate him, making him quite unwilling to listen to them.
✻ Leadership - Perry had worked alone for most of his life and while he isn't put off by the idea of cooperating with a team, when it comes to leading, it becomes too much of a responsibility than he thinks he can hold.
Motivations:
✻ Undertake the greatest heist - Perry helplessly dreams of a heist that will net him incredible fame and wealth.
✻ Find THE significant other - What is life without that special one to make it that much more amazing? Perry may not be up to settling down with a family, but he seeks the one who will understand him and not be weirded out by his choice of lifestyle.
✻ Exploration - New places to find and see, more loot and wealth to be had.
✻ Find the truth of his past - Perry thought he had a good grasp on the time when he was raised in his old household, but that was proven wrong when it turned out he has party elven lineage. What else had been hidden from him?
Fears:
✻ Heist failing - Perry is confident in his skills and abilities, there is always that one tiny thought in his mind 'what if you make that one wrong step?' that terrifies him.
✻ Death - A natural fear of those who are aware of their mortality. Perry is very well aware from experience.
✻ Being used - Whether it is for his personality or profession, the thought of somebody being dishonest with Perry is quite a frightening one.
