Quote thing for Perci plus the reason behind it because I figured this out basically when I first even designed this:

"You will never manage to undo your wrongs, Gridmasks! You are those that killed my family! Forgiveness you'll never have!"

Percidas was also originally just a Gridmask, albeit one that was raised in a very soberly living family - not poor, but not ridiculously rich (though above average). He eventually became a Soul Flame around the age of 15 during a field trip with his school. Perci really liked the snowy mountain peak where they were checking stuff out and decided to take a walk by himself while everyone had a lunch break. He was so impressed by the environment that he completely forgets what he was there for.

Quite logically, everyone misses him, but he's been walking mindlessly and is too far away to hear the voices calling for him. It takes until nightfall for him to realise that he's lost and won't survive. During the really, really cold night, he dies from hypothermia - or does he? While he is slowly freezing to death, he is noticed by the remains of what were in old times powerful Ethereals. These remains become part of his soul, and turn him into a Soul Flame (at least, this is how I envision it. There might be a different thing that replaces this in the long run; I'll need feedback on that).

Percidas is awoken by this event, and is initially confused and scared about what happens. The Ethereals, now inside his soul, begin communicating with him, and tell him of their past (which I might write about, depending on how many ideas I have for this). Percidas has been drawn to them because it is his fate to be, according to them. His soul's a (metaphorical) relative of them, and he must right what was done wrong to them. The confused Percidas takes all of this as real - not that he has much influence on it anymore. The Ethereals fuse with his soul once he accepts these things as fact, thus changing his personality quite a bit.

That's all the history on Percidas for the moment. More will follow either tonight if I have more ideas and time, else somewhere later.
