Peter’s hair is typically wild and unkempt, curling usually around the sides and backs which suits his laid back personality but makes him appear like even more of stoner which doesn’t tend to endear itself to the populace. Peter has an odd sense of style, best described as casually weird. He typically wears regular jeans but couples it with a pair of silver converse sneakers that he likes to keep at a clean shine. Peter also showcases his fanboyism of eighties rock by wearing band shirts on an almost constant basis, RUSH, Pink Floyd, Judas Priest etc. Though he will occasionally sport a shirt or accessory from something of this era, he also commonly wears a plaid flannel shirt with the buttons undone over his tees. Lastly Peter never leaves home without his walkman (yes, seriously) clipped to his waist and the headphones resting around his neck.[/indent][/indent] [h3][u][b][colour=LightSeaGreen] PSYCHOLOGY [/colour][/b][/u][/h3] [i]"I’m like an onion, except there’s, only… er, Good… Stuff, you know what screw the whole analogy"[/i] [indent][indent][indent] [b][colour=LightSeaGreen]MAIN GOAL ⫻[/colour][/b] A lot of Peter’s issues come from the fact that he himself isn’t sure what he wants out of life. At his most basic Peter just wants to be content or at the very least secure, if nothing else the feeling and comfort of stability is all he really wants. [b][colour=LightSeaGreen]PHILOSOPHY ⫻[/colour][/b] Peter outwardly practices and preaches a very “live in the moment” lifestyle, espousing the Buddhist philosophy that nothing lasts forever so enjoy everything while you can. Whilst this is in part something of a coping mechanism he does approach most everything in life with an open mind and a carefree attitude. [b][colour=LightSeaGreen]SECRETS ⫻[/colour][/b] Peter is on a fair amount of medications most solely to help him with concentration but he also is secretly on anti-depressants, something that he feels deeply embarrassed and ashamed about, so much so that he hasn’t sought any outside help or even told his mother, to him it’s something he feels sharing will only worsen how he feels. [b][colour=LightSeaGreen]DESIRES ⫻[/colour][/b] Validation is high on Peter’s list of desires but his demeanour is not all a facade, he does genuinely enjoy relaxing and enjoying the little things in life, which currently happen to be music and weed. [b][colour=LightSeaGreen]SEXUALITY ⫻[/colour][/b] Straight though Peter feels quite secure in his sexuality and will readily point out whether he finds someone attractive, regardless of their gender. [b][colour=LightSeaGreen]FEARS ⫻[/colour][/b] Rejection and irrelevancy are perhaps the main fears that permeate Peter’s thoughts, owing mostly to his history, or lack thereof, with his father and family or to his feelings of being trapped in Montana. Unrelated but he’s also not much for heights [b][colour=LightSeaGreen]REPUTATION ⫻[/colour][/b] Whilst Peter’s reputation isn’t exactly hostile he’s not very well respected, his appearance, attitude and overall demeanour lead most of the townsfolk and even some of his peers to write him off as a delinquent stoner, his typically poor grades don’t really do much to help dissuade them from this view. Those that get to know him however tend to find him likeable enough due to his easygoing nature. [b][colour=LightSeaGreen]PET PEEVES ⫻[/colour][/b] Tediousness and really, boring people in general, Peter struggles in school as it is with how trapped he feels listening to seemingly endless lectures, conversations that drag on and on feels like torture to Peter. He also is not a fan of someone taking his headphones off forcibly. [b][colour=LightSeaGreen]QUIRKS ⫻[/colour][/b] Apart from generally having his hands in his pockets Peter usually places a surprising amount of things behind his ear, toothpicks, pencils, even a joint, which once led to a particularly painful moment where he’d forgotten it was lit. [/indent][/indent][/indent] [h3][u][b][colour=LightSeaGreen] BACKSTORY [/colour][/b][/u][/h3] [i]"Don’t matter where I’ve been, only care about where I’m goin’"[/i] [indent][indent]Peter’s mother Amanda Grey was a former member of Farmer’s Hill, born to a middle class family, life was normal if not aggressively mundane, when she reached her twenties Amanda made the (oft criticized by her family) decision to move away from the monotony of rural life and sought excitement abroad, though the furthest she ever got was Montreal. While there Amanda took a job as an office cleaner which is where she met Michael Benson during an embarrassing incident where he’d went to the bathroom during closing hours and was left locked in, through this wondrous encounter to surely tell the kids about, the two began dating. Eventually Amanda moved into his apartment where the two would “enjoy each other’s company” for about three months before learning would have an out of wedlock bundle of joy on the way. After Peter was born their relationship quickly became strained, turning out a quick fling leading into a move-in leading into a child was hardly the best relationship plan. After two years the locks on the apartment changed and Amanda was left far away from home with nowhere to lay her head or her child’s, Amanda very quickly let her dreams of freewheeling die out in order to take care of her child. When she returned (through a plane ticket paid for by her family) she was not greeted with a warm welcome, particularly on account of her returning home with a bastard in tow. Through gritted teeth they allowed their daughter back into their home simply on account of how little money she had to support a child but they never particularly kind or welcoming towards Amanda or her son. With frequently working long hours Peter rarely saw his mother growing up and was regularly left in the care of his indifferent relatives who didn’t take kindly as his attention and desire to do well in school slipped along with his grades, quite regularly criticising his mother on how he was raised and quite often pushing for medication to help his grades improve. What little attentiveness and passion Peter had slipped away as he barely finished high school, his mother hoping to help him gain inspiration away from his family insisted he enrol at Grand Ridge to do music. Away from his family and living in the dormitories, Peter’s disposistion, outwardly, improved but inwardly he developed an almost nihilistic view on Farmer Hill and life in general, finding no real passion or motivation in much and being relatively uncaring of the goings on, generally just getting high and coming across as more laid back to put much stock in anything. Though he has started to try more and better his mental state, what little optimism Peter has had for his future is slowly but surely losing ground.[/indent][/indent] [h3][u][b][colour=LightSeaGreen] SKILLS & TALENTS [/colour][/b][/u][/h3] [i]”That’s right, there’s more beneath this burning hunk of love. Not much, but more."[/i] [indent][indent][indent] [colour=LightSeaGreen][b]Bass Guitar ⫻[/b][/colour] Though mostly a hobby Peter has practised enough with bass to actually be quite good at it, even if he routinely knocks it as being impossible to be bad at, he’s at least decent enough to copy the basslines from most of his favourite songs, and the bassline from Final Fantasy 2. [colour=LightSeaGreen][b]Useless Pop Trivia ⫻[/b][/colour] More something he’s proud of, Peter knows quite a lot of factoids about seemingly random or inconsequential shit, owing most likely to a lifetime of procrastination. [colour=LightSeaGreen][b]Computers and IT ⫻[/b][/colour] Surprisingly, Peter is at least competent with computers, pretty much due to how often his cheap one breaks down or encounters some sort of bug. Whilst he’s hardly a whizz he knows enough to operate and fix a machine if he really has to. [/indent][/indent][/indent] [h3][u][b][colour=LightSeaGreen] ABSTRACTION [/colour][/b][/u][/h3] [i]"Now ya see me..."[/i] [indent][indent] [b][colour=LightSeaGreen]SIGIL & LOCATION ⫻[/colour][/b] [url=https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/originals/b8/9f/9a/b89f9a96e94e702120a35a799ef7e68b.png]Two bolts of lightning above his right wrist and travelling halfway up his arm.[/url] [b][colour=LightSeaGreen]ABSTRACTION ⫻[/colour][/b] Enhanced Speed and reflex [b][colour=LightSeaGreen]ABSTRACTION DESCRIPTION ⫻[/colour][/b] Peter is able to run at superhuman speeds, while hardly The Flash he is able to go faster than the human eye is able to process, while running his reflexes heighten, insofar in that he gains enough wherewithal to make sure he doesn’t smack into anything or trip over loose ground, though he can still be knocked off balance from forces beyond his control. Peter’s body can only withstand so much however so he himself isn’t quite sure how fast he can reasonably reach, the closer he gets to Mount Ever Reaching however the faster he is able to go at a shorter rate of time. When in the presence of other abstracts however he feels a sort of mental block on how fast he is able to go, needing to prioritize more quick bursts than long stretches, he also seems to tire quicker when around other abstracts. At a far distance from the mountain Peter is able to run up to around 100kmh, just fast enough to run across the surface of water, this speed decreasing the further he gets from the mountain. Peter’s abstract stems from his desire to feel free and unbound by the norms or grim realities he believes await him in his future, ironically, his speed is much like a drug in that it is in reality nothing more than fantastical escapism. [b][colour=LightSeaGreen]IN THE PRESENCE OF THE MOUNTAIN ⫻[/colour][/b] Mount Ever Reaching seems to gradually “unlock” faster speeds Peter can go, the longer he spends running in its presence the quicker he can become, if he spends long enough running next to The Mountain he can move so quickly that time slows to a sheer crawl around him, however going at these speeds carries a great deal of risk, though Peter’s body adapts to withstand the pressure and he seems to carry more energy than usual, going this fast can very easily have Peter pass out from the sheer exhaustion or even be unable to withstand the force any longer if he doesn't pace himself. [b][colour=LightSeaGreen]AURA SENSING ⫻[/colour][/b] Peter feels the general impatience of others, a feeling that is greatly unpleasant for someone who didn’t carry much patience around to begin with, in a radius of about 15 metres Peter can feel a gnawing burn in the back of his skull as the general impatience or irritation of others worms its way into his mind. [b][colour=LightSeaGreen]LIMITS ⫻[/colour][/b] Peter may have access to high speeds, but the problem he faces is maneuverability. He may be able to turn quite well at lower speeds, but his higher speeds his turning power slows to an absolute crawl. He may slam face first into a wall if he isn't being careful. Especially when around other Awakened. [b][colour=LightSeaGreen]WEAKNESSES ⫻[/colour][/b] Accessing his speed also speeds up his other aspects. Mostly his perception of the world, and how it looks and sounds. Meaning, he sees and hears faster than other people while speeding - which lends to his speech. It'll be nigh impossible for Peter to communicate while speeding. Everything will be slow gibberish to him, and everything else will be far too fast for him to possibly hear. Other bodily functions will also speed up like his bloodflow/heart rate, and if he isn't careful, he may have a heart attack. In addition, he'll build up friction from moving, and eventually his body heat will go through the roof from all the movement.
