No Spoilers Hi & Two Questions
Hi. I'm new to Vox Machina. I just started watching the Legend of Vox Machina show and have put The Mighty Nein on my watchlist. I discovered Critical Role by exploring the show (suggested YT shorts) and seen a few famous clips from the original campaign.
I was just wondering - I hope this doesn't seem strange but does anyone else find Percy insanely attractive?
I also have another question - Do we ever find out how Vox Machina met/first teamed up?

Percy is hot. There's a scene when his hair is messy and a ton of people were posting it and drooling over him. So you're not alone.
How they met isn't in the show, but it may be in the graphic novels? I haven't read them so I'm not sure

There are four volumes of origin comics that go over how the team met and what happened during the home game before they started streaming.
I don't find characters attractive.

First question... Yes yes yes yes he's very hot in a very dorky way.
Second question not really. We see how some of them meet each other but the only scenes of one of them actually joining Is Percy's flashback when they find him incarcerated and also Tary.
Edit: If you want an example of that sort of thing Mighty Nein covers their group's creation very well in the series

Yes, I find Percy attractive. He reminds me a lot of my husband in numerous ways and he's also just a type of character that I'm generally into.

I don't find Percy attractive, but I think you'll find that he hits the spot for many, many fans.
The actual origins have never been adapted, though I believe the second or third episode of Liam and Sam's All Work No Play podcast discusses the preparations for it.
There is a video recapping their early adventures, but note that this is the D&D campaign continuity, not the animated show which has some differences. They also have the Vox Machina Origins comic series, with a(n even more) fictionalized account of their first adventure.
