🌾 This is a roleplay Q&A blog for Perseus, aiming to get as close to canon in-game portrayal of the character; but there are possible deviations - head canons to fill in gaps, and also spoilers for ToD.

🌾 This blog is set in Finchverse-- Main timeline posts will be marked as "Desolation of Devotion"; Alt timeline as "From our ashes". ...So yes, you can ask him stuff in both Pirinverse timelines.

✏ Goes without saying, but be respectful. Please, would be appreciated. Longer version of this below from posted notice:

Be respectful, common human decency. No harassment or hate-speech & toxic behaviors, please. Should go without saying but: Author has the full rights to reject, ignore & delete asks if they are disrespectful and or inappropriate. As well as to not explain the reasons for the rejection, or refusal to further entertain a visitor of the blog.

Remember that this is an askblog meant for roleplaying fun.

🌿 Because author Finch has uni, if Perseus doesn't answer right away -- It's because of that. (And he's probably lost in battle maps or his own thoughts.) Might not reply for a week - three, not ignoring! Just unable to.

Hey Perseus! I heard I happen to you when you found out that your lover gorgonna was actually azora and i couldn’t imagine how heartbreaking you must be…but! Which is why I like you to meet someone! Who I think you’ll get along great with!

Meet Amadeus! (I couldn’t find a good name for him so this is the only name I got for him) I hope you two get along!

"...." (...How did you hear about Gorgonna's death..? Is it a popular topic like Azora's? ...Right, they're the same woman.) "Greetings, and thank you for the visit. I'm sure we wouldn't have problems, as long he has common sense." (And doesn't give me a reason to punch him, like some Arcane Council members and a snowy Vex.)

Amadeus, huh... interesting. Seems like a god, or very devout follower of one.? Either way, the general seems to not notice... or simply doesn't react - even as his bat-eared travel-companion yells teasingly from some paces behind: "Hoho! Someone's being match-made!" and giggles... only to trip over his own tail right after and face-plant. In this timeline, this Perseus....

-___—————————=°•●°•°•¤◇◇—

<>> 'Desolation and Devotion' -In this timeline, this Perseus only has eyes for his deceased partner. Perhaps Gorgonna truly was the Wildborn's Hunting goddess all along, perhaps a soul devoured and only temporarily released then assimilated once again... But the fractured heart beats for her alone, steady as ever. ..maybe it's foolish, holding onto a ghost..Perseus chooses that foolishness regardless. Gorgonna.. my Gorgonna, We will meet again. ..Some day... It won't happen, but hopes and cherished memories count. ..right...? There may be other Azoras, countless other Gorgonnas in thousand different realities and times... But not this one. For this one... The woman is long-gone, maybe to reborn into another life... Some day..

—◇◇¤•°•°●•°=————————————___-

-___—————————=°•●°•°•¤◇◇— <><> > {'From our ashes...'} ....In this timeline (Dejavu.? Strange..), Halia's stoic commander seems to be uninterested in the other person. Maybe curious as to who Amadeus is, intrigued by the possibility of another ally... or simply somebody (hopefully saner than Hierax and the two Merlins) to chat with if paths cross again at times. There's a sense of... longing, simple and quiet, when his eyes drift back to the freckled, snowy bat 'Wilder'. Somehow they look just a little softer than the stern expression from moments earlier, watching the Sky ghost push off the ground and flash a toothy grin. Perseus lightly shakes his head, exasperated smile barely strangled, held out hand dropping at his side again. Fool. Guess the Merlins were right when they said 'birds of a feather, flock together.'

-___—————————=°•●°•°•¤◇◇— Author here: Sorry for the delay, hi and thank you for visiting! My activity 'round the site has taken a drop & might become even slower due to university matters. (And I won't be able to edit my askblogs' intros much and actually reflect it but-) So if I go silent for about this month & May, possibly also bit of June-- I'm focused on university stuff, not ignoring at all!

"Oh? But I do know you, Perseus."

It taunts him even more. Still donning Merlin the Second's face, albeit melting away grotesquely. Just giving glimpses of its darkened out interior. Blocking and parrying hits from him and landing slashes of its own.

The moment the spear strikes at its star wound, blood pours but to Perseus's horror- even with the talisman infusing his spear with magic and blessings- it would all be snuffed once tendrils jutted out. Wrapping themselves around the entirety of his spear, forcing him to tug at it with all his might just to pull his weapon away. Giving him the chance to strike at its neck-

Did it even do any damage? The entity couldn't even spare a flinch.

The blood comes raining upon him in boiling temperatures as it unleashes a ear-piercing shriek (It didn't sound like it was in pain, more angry of anything) Disorienting him in the process as the wound to the creature's neck healed in a matter of nanoseconds once it jumps back. Creating distance between them once again.

"You're starting to feel cold, so I thought I'd warm you up."

Most of the boiling blood-rain was blocked by his raised shield but enough of the creature's slashing attacks landed. It burns where drops of the blood still managed to land, skin blistering. Still, Perseus refuses to yield. Hypogean or fallen god, this creature must be defeated.

Perseus, oh Perseus!

What do you think of Lygos? Do you still consider him your friend or have you drifted apart?

{From, Hildy}

Author here real quick: Apologies for the delay, was dealing with assignments and couldn't get on tumblr. ^^') But did see your ask! It was really interesting one to ponder how to answer, thank you, Hildy!

Posted notice || Small reminder

The blog intro will be updated to also have this reminder. AFKJ askblogs will have these rules of common sense/reminder in their intro moving forward. Thank you.

[commander-perseus]

A familiar sounding chuckle could be heard from atop Perseus's tent as the Commander whips his head towards the source. Aghast at the sight of his Vanya perched atop the tent,

"Oh Pers~"

Stranja's cheeky, flirtatious smirk and chuckling would devolve into a more twisted grin and maniacal laughter as his lovable Vanya's form begins to morph into someone more unlikeable. The short, lithe and skinny figure soon becoming more grown and toned. Hair growing out until its appearance matches that of a certain looney mage, Merlin the Second.

"Aww why so scared, Pers? It's just me~!"

The mage howled hysterically upon the moon as his arms stretched wide open, showing off long clawed fingers. But his body was blacked out entirely by some sort of substance that reeked of blood and the very corruption that plagued the gods and people alike. There was a gaping star-shaped red wound on his chest where the heart is located. (Maybe a weakness? Something worth noting.)

He tilt his head at Perseus in an uncomfortable angle that would normally kill any ordinary being, grin twisting further to the point that it feels forced as the mad gleam did not match the death glare in his eyes.

Something feels different about the talisman... A small advantage in this fight with its magic and blessings infused. The spear hums latent, divine magic weaker than it was in Halia's glory days...

[from our ashes timeline related ask]

Question, what are your thoughts on the Wilders and Maulers ? How different are they from the Wildborn of the forest?

— From, Euryale

Still, there are far more questions on the mind than answers...The next mission from Merlin would likely be related to these matters.

● - Oh, Perseus! To think I’d be able to find you here, as well… ● - How have you been? Is everything going alright?

@wildborn-gorgonna

The Vex's Bloodstone tucked into his belt is firmly kept out of keen sight. It shouldn't have a smell, right..? ...Even if it does, it can be excused as lingering old wounds or newly recent ones from scraps with monsters. Not like it'd be a lie anyway.

...Unless that talisman somehow gets triggered and blows the cover. Which hopefully it doesn't. ...Why does it feel so awful, lying through teeth and selling it as convincing to get valuable intel out of a potential threat? This is not the real Gorganna. It can't be. ....For just the briefest second the thought that this might be her from another time flickers..

It'd be really awkward explaining if that's the case.

[wildborn-gorgonna]

● - ….?

● - I’ve been alright, Perseus. I promised you I’d find you in the next life, didn’t I?

● - I’m glad you’ve been keeping your promise, too. To live well, until I find you again.

[commander-perseus]

[commander-perseus]

--To Perseus, either of the two timelines work--

Pardon my curiosity regarding this particular situation and this question may seem confusing, but I am wondering if you are somehow aware of other Perseus' timeline? Or has Pirin or anyone informed you about it if they are aware?

Thank you.

I made a sketch of that Gorgonna lady for you!

I have a question , Perseus. When did you wield this divine weapons that you hold ?

- Magister Ayesha.

Halia fell... today's Esperia won't. Not if a certain reckless Magister and his team still stand, preventing needless deaths.

[commander-perseus]

-- To Perseus, "From Our Ashes" timeline--

Ah, don't mind me or whether you don't know me. I am merely... an observer, someone who's known about you...

It brings me comfort to know you're alive here, at least. Likely not very well, regarding the circumstances from what I can see... but alive.

Then, may I know... How are things faring with you these days?

- ☕️

Or having to fish the reckless fool out of Tuttleton and ditches, or waters and swamps; Narrowly having to run from a mad god and locusts, because curiosity got the best of him... Never a dull moment with Hierax. No matter if out in Esperia or the past and Avalon.

The low, deep feminine voice outside the Perseus's tent sounded like it came straight from the pits of Tuttleton.

Soon, a faint silhouette of a person would begin to materialise by the flap of the tent. But not daring to enter just yet, only enough to make her.. its presence known.

"̷B̶u̶t̶ ̶n̵o̸ ̶m̷a̴t̶t̴e̶r̴.̵ ̴I̶ ̶w̸i̴l̸l̷ ̶h̷u̴n̵t̸ ̶h̶i̷m̸ ̶d̸o̷w̷n̴ ̵t̴o̸ ̷t̵h̸e̵ ̵e̷n̵d̶s̷ ̷o̷f̶ ̵t̴h̵e̸ ̶w̸o̴r̷l̵d̷ ̷a̶n̸d̴ ̷d̷e̷v̵o̸u̷r̵ ̸h̴i̵m̵ ̶l̸i̵k̵e̸ ̵t̷h̴e̷ ̶r̶e̸s̶t̵.̶ ̸H̵i̷s̵ ̵s̶o̸u̸l̴ ̴w̷o̸n̷'̶t̶ ̸e̶v̶e̷n̷ ̸r̴e̸t̸u̵r̸n̴ ̵t̷o̶ ̷t̷h̵e̷ ̸T̸r̴e̷e̴ ̴o̵f̷ ̴L̶i̶f̴e̷,̵ ̴a̷n̶d̴ ̷n̶o̶ ̸o̵n̷e̶ ̸w̶i̷l̴l̸ ̶b̶e̷ ̵a̴b̶l̵e̵ ̶t̷o̶ ̷s̸t̵o̵p̶ ̷m̷e̴.̷"̷ ̵ ̴

Even as he barks this demand, at the ready to raise and wield his divine weapons should it need be... A chill of unease still slithers to lowly coil like a serpent.. This woman, whoever she– no. Whatever this is... emanates a strong sense of danger. Something out of this world, beyond perhaps even Merlin the Second himself.

Why would it wish to devour a dead god's soul..? What is this creature or being's agenda....?

[commander-perseus]

--To Perseus, in "From Our Ashes" timeline variation--

Pleased to see you here again, General.

I am a little curious... How did the process go with you being brought back? And, if I may ask... Was it your wish for this to be carried through?

Thank you in advance.
