Perceval (Japanese: ヴァサラ, 婆裟罗战甲) is a Rare Blade in 异度神剑 2. He can grant tremendous power to his Drivers, Rex, Nia, Zeke or Mòrag, and their allies. Perceval uses the dark element, wields a Chroma Katana, and acts as a Tank in battle.

Perceval was designed by Yasushi Suzuki, lead character 设计师 for the Sin and Punishment series.

Personality

It has been implied that in a previous life, Perceval was far more ruthless than he is in the party. With the more benevolent and merciful nature of the party, the current Perceval no longer seeks to kill an opponent. Instead, he finds that spending the rest of a life in a prison to be a more merciless punishment than killing someone. However, he has strong preferences for working alone and has trouble accepting the help of 其它.

Appearance

Perceval appears as a demon-like 类人型, with dark eyes with yellow 弟弟子, an iron lower jaw, and a red helmet that has flames spilling at the top during battle. According to concept art he has a normal human face beneath his helmet.

He is very tall and has a slim yet toned figure, although often stands hunched over.

He appears to have a samurai motif, and wears black, red and purple battle 防具. His 肩 are wrapped with ropes, and red battle flags pop out of his back during battle. On his hip is a flask that he drinks from.

Upon his chest is an X-shaped blue core crystal.

牵绊 and Blade Quest

Perceval during his Blade Quest

Perceval's 牵绊, "Poetic License", takes place on a roof in Theosoir between Perceval, his Driver, and Brighid. Perceval, standing on a rooftop overlooking the city, waxes poetic about the weight of Human life but denies being poetic when his Driver suggests it. He explains his views on avoiding killing even against criminals, and that he finds inequality in life distasteful.

Perceval's Blade Quest, Failure and Success, is activated when the party come across Ellenora being threatened in a back alley of Alba Cavanich. Perceval intimidates the thugs until they leave, and then sets about uncovering their identities. Perceval leaves alone to chase down one of the contacts in the Old City of Teddim, and is chided by the party for not working as a team when they catch up to him. Perceval apologizes and suggests he try better next time. After returning to check on Ellenora, the party find her murdered and a man claiming to know Perceval's "former self" - under his previous Driver - waiting with the corpse. He mocks Perceval's changed attitude toward violence and escapes before he is caught. A series of investigations into Perceval's old gang, the Bloody Lobsters, leads them to the Argentum Trade Guild where the party come face to face with rocke, Perceval's old 领导. They defeat him but leave him alive to atone for his crimes.
