Default Outfit
Perry appears as a bluish-grey eyed, blue haired young man with a slender build and a kind face. He wears a blue/dark blue hooded jacket with white pants and knee high navy blue boots with olive green soles. His primary colors are blue and white with a little olive green.

Inspired from the character Peter Pan, Perry's attire is geared for travel and adventure. He is rather mature for his age, dressing for utility rather than style, being often considered 'plain'.

Background
Before attending Beacon Academy, Perry worked as a member of the Watchmen's Guild, a group of mercenaries that could be hired for protection against the Grimm in the event that Hunters were not available. He first joined their ranks at the age of 14.

Weapon
==== Sky Glass - An antique spyglass (handheld telescope) that has a walking stick mode and broadsword mode. Built during an era when Huntsmen would often spent months out in the wild fighting Grimm on their own, each mode has its own unique purpose. Spyglass mode allows for long range reconnaissance and is easily carried. Walking stick mode is for long distance hikes through rough terrain and non-lethal combat. Sword mode has a broad, straight blade nearly four feet long used for both cutting and stabbing. ====

Perry inherited Sky Glass from a retired Huntsman named Sitron Bass.

Semblance
==== Light of Belief - Perry's ability is to create orbs of glowing, blue light which he can "shoot" from the palm of his hands that hit with various impact force, like a concussion blast (similar to Sun Wukong's spectral clones). The size of the orbs can grow from that of a grape to the girth of a beach ball. The force of impact is proportionate to the size of the rob. At full strength, Perry can knock an Ursa on its back. The speed of the orbs also vary. Perry can cause them to gently float along or throw them at the speed of sound (note that this makes them slower than bullets). Perry also uses his semblance as a light source whenever it is dark. Light of Belief is a tribute to Tinker Bell, specifically the line "I do believe in fairies". ====

Team
Perry Penstemon is the leader of team PERL.



Abilities

He is mostly self-taught when it comes to his swordsmanship. He takes a mostly defensive style.

He is limited in bare-hand fighting.

Due to many excursions into the wild, Perry retains great knowledge of the outdoors, has excellent endurance and excels at tracking.
