Percival Castle!

This line of work is a needless, hopeless battle, you're sure.

A one-machine war against crime itself; a pointless mission destined to fail.
Yet, Percival "Pyrel" Franklin Castle ("PIE-rul") finds themself back at that damned sniper's scope with their guilty finger on the smooth groove of a trigger, a brick wall newly painted crimson with the brain matter of a irrelevant rapist, and a new tally on an ever-increasing list of names tucked away in one of SHIELD's dense manila folders.
Scrub the blood off — and repeat.
Pyrel can't even remember the reasoning as to why or how their violence warped from military duties to their fucking destiny. Maybe it doesn't even matter anymore.

Regardless — by the Stars — they'd never have it any other way.

Pyrel wants to tell you somethin'. Enlighten you, if you will.
Fruitless as this shit may be, they haven't come across a more effective way of snuffing out crime 'sides refining the art of fine-tuned violence. They suppose it's an acquired taste.
Those spandex and caped types always try yappin' otherwise, but Pyrel's the one sporting a near-perfect success rate on stopping criminals here. Bailouts, escapes, paroles, and — most damning of them all — repeat offenders are a foreign concept to Pyrel's arsenal, which is more than your typical "super" could say.

People refuse to acknowledge it, but this is hell.

History repeats itself to fuckin' ridiculous extremes. The world's everything humanity's ancestors dreamed it to be, but it's still facing the same damn problems with the same damn solutions that've been tried to death for literal millennia and scratchin' it's ass, wonderin' why it's not fuckin' working, while prancing and shouting from the rooftops 'bout how we've come so far from the start of the third millennium.

What a fuckin' waste of time.

Nothing ever changes. That much is a given. But, Stars, Pyrel's gonna try proving themself wrong.

Notes

• Pyrel's big, broody, and tall (over 6'0").
• Pyrel's very square. Literally, their shape language is mostly squares and rectangles to look imposing and such.

• Is the blue on their hair dye or highlights? Up to you!

Trivia

• Pyrel's favorite food is revenge; served cold. Kidding. They love burgers with coffee.
• They drink black coffee just fine, but they prefer a packet of sugar and two shots of creamer. Won't admit this to anyone. Ever. Including themself.
• Has an... indescribable reaction to MREs.
• Greatly dislikes the URL Army and police after they began associating the Punisher's logo for their own agendas. Very, very begrudgingly hit up She-Hulk to force them to stop (along with death threats, of course).
• Harbors mixed feelings toward their dead ex-wife. Unsure of how to feel about her.
• Very interested in weapons; mainly guns. For effective killing, of course, but also actually understanding the engineering behind such tools and how they work so well (or do not).
• Very mild Warhammer: 40k fan. Finds comfort in its bleak setting.
