## Background

### 1973 - 1984: Peter Quill

Peter Quill was conceived as a result of the love between the terran Meredith Quill & the Spartax Emperor at the time, J'son. King J'son was was returning home when he was forced to crash land on Earth. He soon fell in love with Meredith Quill, engaging in a short relationship before J'son was forced to leave to wage war for the Spartax. Months later, during an unusual astronomical phenomenon when many of the planets aligned, Meredith gave birth to Peter.

Peter was raised by Meredith, who remained a single mother but had help from her best friend Lisa Chang & her daughter Monica. Peter soon started developing a big interest in sci-fi shows. After a visit to an amusement park where he was impressed by the wonders of space & he decided he wanted to be an astronaut when he grew up but was a little disappointed when he found out the aliens on the ride weren't real.

When Peter was ten, his mother became afflicted with terminal brain cancer. As his mother's illness worsened, she asked Lisa to watch over Peter with the help of her parents. In her final moments, Peter held her hand as she passed away. Her death left Peter distraught & screaming for her as he was pulled from the room by his grandfather. He then ran out of the hospital crying & was suddenly abducted from Earth by the Ravagers. Their mission was to take him to his father in deep space but their leader, Yondu Udonta, knew of J'son's nature & plans. Instead, they decided to keep Quill as one of their own.

### 1984 - 2004: Star-Lord

The Ravagers taught Quill how to be the perfect thief. Yondu had often kicked the crap out of him in order to teach him how to fight & kept him in terror by threatening to eat him. Because Quill was a skinny kid, he could easily squeeze into places that adults couldn't therefore.

As he grew older, he started going by the name Star-Lord, which was a nickname given to him by his mother. Yondu eventually Quill his own ship which Quill named the *Milano*, after his childhood crush Alyssa Milano. As a member of the Ravagers, Peter gained a criminal record over the years. He had been arrested for fraud, twice for public intoxication, assault & illegal manipulation of a Garmosian Duchess. He also became quite the ladies man, sleeping with a variety of women from other species.

Living in space for all those years, Quill built up a reputation as the self-proclaimed legendary outlaw & continued to work for Yondu Udonta. During his time with the Ravagers, Quill had become disloyal to them & eventually planning to leave. When Peter was given a job by Yondu to pick up some mysterious item, he instead decided to abandon them & set out to find his destiny in the stars as the "Star-Lord."

### 2004 - 2005: Star-Lord

After couple months of drifting across the galaxy, Peter organized the United Front with Nova Prime to battle the Annihilation Wave led by Annihilus from conquering their universe. During the war, they came to be aided by the Celestial Madonna Mantis, Drax the Destroyer, a low life known as Rocket Raccoon, a flora colossus that called himself Groot, known galactic assassin Gamora, synthetic being Adam Warlock & Kree warriors

As more of Annihilus guards arrived via teleportation technology, the United Front were forced into battle before retreating. Quill, Nova Prime, Gamora, Drax, Warlock, Rocket, Groot & Mantis were among the few who escape. After the severe loss, the United Front disbanded. Quill suggested calling on the heroes of Earth, so Nova Prime then tried reaching the Fantastic Four but his hopes were completely shattered when he could not find a way to reach them. Peter, Phyla-Vell & Nova then decided to attack Annihilus head on. They teleported their way to the center of the Annihilation Wave & attacked Annihilus head on. They were losing until the Quantum Bands that Annihilus acquired off the dead Quasar attached themselves to Phyla, turning the tide of the battle. She weakened Annihilus & Nova Prime killed him. After the war was over, the Annihilation Wave was destroyed & everything slowly went back to how they were.

Many of the survivors frequently hung out until Star-Lord decided to form the Guardians of the Galaxy so that they could work together. The universe was in a very fragile state after the Annihilation event. Motivated to prevent the collapse of the universe, Mantis, Adam Warlock, Rocket, Drax & Gamora joined his team.

## Personality

Peter Quill is naturally upbeat, sarcastic & is known for looking on the bright side. Before starting the Guardians, he lived in the ways of an average criminal & thug. He is very conscientious of his physical weaknesses, which prevents him from acting impulsive as he is always aware of the dangers of his actions. Quill has shown he can be heroic. He can create inventively & often extremely unorthodox solutions to problems on the fly.

Due to being raised as a child by aliens, having possibly not learned just how weak humans are compared to other beings, he never suspected that he was half alien himself & assumed his inhuman resilience to be normal for any kind of creature. Furthermore, he appears out of touch with modern earthlings.

He has a strong love towards his family & loved ones, which drives him to protect those around him & makes him reluctant to hurt his friends. His emotions tend to get the best of him, as he is prone to outburst of rage & sadness when confronted by the death of a loved one. Likewise, Quill had a very hard time accepting his mother's death. He still thinks about her & has grown to dislike Earth.
