**Woody Peterson** is the protagonist and main character of the series. He is the son of Woody Peterson Senior and husband to Jessie Peterson. His best friend is Buzz McCallister, together they have spent most of their lives fighting evil and saving the world for the good. In recent years, Woody has been seperated from his friend, and now fights with his family.

Throughout the run of the series, Woody, with Jessie, has raised a family of four children, two of which are biological and the other, mutated turtles. Woody is known to be brave, heroic, good, and a born leader, though has, since the early days of his life let his emotions rule him, sometimes leading to reckless decision making. Despite of all of this, Woody has, from becoming a responsible father and suffering great hardship, grown into a man sure of himself, ready to fight and never falling down, because that's what Petersons do.

## Early Life

Born in the General hospital in Toy Story village, Woody was a day one rebel, refusing to leave his mother and holding up the birth of his brother Ruddy, for over 40 minutes. Upon leaving the hospital, Woody was caught stealing a block of cheese from a Doctor's coat, something that amazed all present, but actually was set up as a distraction so Woody's dad could steal some of the hospital's MRI and life support equipment. Woody was a difficult infant, screaming and crying everyday for his mother and attacking his baby twin with a rattle.

### Growing up

Life as a child was difficult for Woody, he constantly misbehaved and fought with his father, but was always close to his mother, Jane Emily Peterson, something that annoyed his father in the early years, who wanted his children to be strong and courageous. Woody exhibited strange behavior, creating objects, and inventing miniature robots at his command, a skill he shared with his dad. For some reason, Woody had a great fear of the forest outside his window, imagining monsters and "seeing things" in the trees. For years he claimed he was being haunted by an "electric ghost", that watched him and called him names. Later toward his early teens, his parents unexpectedly split up after a major argument Woody heard outside his room, which resulted in his mother leaving the family home for good. After a period of two weeks, Woody's dad informed Woody and the family that their mother had tragically died in a car accident, and was never coming home. In the years that followed Woody's relationship with his father improved but had it's ups and downs. An event unknown to Woody and Ruddy a few months after his mother left changed their father, defeating his brother Edward Williams (Evil Master). Their dad raised the pressure of expectation, and from then on he raised his twin boys in a very strict manner, but always cared for them, and treated them with love and respect when needed. He even got them a dog, a boxer named Mixie, who Woody hated with a passion for biting him every day.

### Teen Years

Heading into his late teens Woody had a ton of trouble making friends. He preferred to keep to himself, writing in his memoirs about science and fiction. Woody was horribly harassed by the school bully, Transformer guy. He did however, have a crush on a girl at the school, Jessie McCallister, the daughter of his dad's longtime friend Buzzwind McCallister, a big time space ranger commander at Star Command. Woody never had it in him to properly approach Jessie, and along with that, Jessie's boyfriend was Trans, and her sister Kelly hated Woody's guts. One day however, a new boy showed up in school, "Victor Sal" (older Woody in disguise time-traveling). Sal convinced Woody to finally talk to the girl of his dreams, and asked her to the Enchantment Under the Sea dance at the end of the school year. She unfortunately declined, having already asked Sal to go instead. This being a problem for the older time-traveling protagonist, a plan was hatched, that young Woody would win her back from Sal in a staged attack outside the dance. The plan failed however, as Trans showed up instead and sent Sal away with his bully friends. Woody was unaware of this incident, and turned up anyway, leading to a fight with his nemesis. Surprisingly, though not surprising at all if you seen a very popular 80's time-traveling movie, Woody won the fight, punching Trans square in the face, winning Jessie over to his side. They danced, kissed, and got together from that night on.

In the years that followed, they shared a happy, loving young relationship, though never strayed far from their respective families. The McCallisters and Petersons continued to be a very close unit, inviting each other over every year for different holidays and events. Though through all that time somehow Woody had yet to meet Jessie's older brother, Buzzwart, who spent all of his time training at the Star Command ranger academy and both Yale and Harvard University for science and medical degrees. Her younger brother, Buzzy McCallister, was a very shy boy, who never spoke out of turn in front of his father, so Woody essentially never got to know him very well in this time.

## Season 1

### Becoming a father

In all those years with Jessie, Woody's trouble making only got worse, living a party-mad lifestyle and making many friends, some of which bullied him in school, like Trans. His life would soon however change, for on the night of his 30th birthday celebration, he was surprised with the news of his life, that he was going to be a father.
Woody took this news with panic at first, and then denial. It took Woody's Dad finding out to push him into going out and finding a job, after refusing to work in Sheriff were Woody's Dad was in control. Soon after though, Woody had no choice, and became a low earning assistant in the Sheriff computer farm. It didn't end there though, as becoming a father also meant dining with Jessie's family, the McCallisters. Woody knew the McCallisters for years but never really cared for them. Before dating Jessie, they were always only another group of visitors on the weekends for Wood. The only person who mattered to Woody was Jessie, but she never paid attention to him even when the families ate dinner.

### New Enemies

Getting closer to the McCallisters meant that Woody was now on Buzz's brother's radar, who hated him intensively and suspected the worst. Despite this, none of the McCallisters would find out about the pregnancy until much later in the season. Becoming a father for Woody meant that it was also time to finally move out of the family home, but after a bad loan from the Toy Story mob, Woody's Dad and Buzz McCallister Senior were forced to save Woody's life.
His life at work was also troublesome, and when an opposing department in the Sheriff building began their race for the Sheriff trophy, the 'Mailroom', Woody began a dangerous fight for victory, resulting in a massive loss regardless.
It was also around this time that Woody's path crossed with a dangerous future foe, Green Man, a green alien from an unknown world who's goal was essentially to capture and have Woody join his crusade. Woody was, at this point in his life very popular and infamous for his hooligan ways, and when Green Man found out about this he just had to have him, but failed miserably and was forced to escape upon the attack by the TS Police Department.
Another person on Woody's list of undesirables was Jessie's sister Kelly, who in Season 1 was rumoured to be travelling home from travels away. Everyone but Woody were in awe of Kelly, and when she didn't show he was happy.

### A Single Freak

With pressures arising from the incoming child, Woody cracked and had a massive argument with Jessie about his life and wanting of freedom, which unknown to him was more fear than need. Woody didn't understand the responsibility he was being given, and so temporarily seperated from Jessie for the first time in their 10 year relationship.
It was during this period that he met Joe Joeson, a party man and bachelor with a powerful ego problem. Whilst partying with Joe and his old friends, Woody was secretly being tracked by Buzz's brother, who had found out about his sister's pregnancy and saught unwarrented revenge. After nearly cheating on Jessie, Woody realised that he had to face his destiny, and put on a brave face in being a father, but an ambush on the streets by Buzz's brother meant that his life was now in danger.

### A Friend In Me and The Birth of Junior

After Buzz tried to stop his brother in his need for violence, both Woody and Buzz were kidnapped and dropped in the Toy Story Forest, the middle of nowhere. Stuck together and surviving, they soon would become friends and worked together to use Buzz's jetpack to fly to the Toy Story hospital were Jessie was now in labour. Buzz's brother was soon arrested as the baby was born. It was here that Woody and Jessie welcomed Woody Junior to the world and Woody's promise of responsibilty was finally given.

## Season 2

### The Family Man

Woody was now a fully fledged dad, and it was here that he finally began to ask an age old question in the back of his mind, what happened to Woody's Mam? After mild interrogations and a search of the attic for clues, Woody found no answers.

### New Friends

Around this time was when Woody first met George Jones (Indiana Jones Guy), his new neighbour. Woody felt that George was strange but didn't think much more of it. Later however, when new alien faces showed on the family doorstep, claiming to be there for Wowie, a supposed Prince, Woody had a real problem. He refused to let his best friend be taken from home, regardless of his lineage. Together with Buzz, he convinced his boss at Sheriff; Tubs Magee to take him to Wowie Land, the home of the alien Wos. Tubs being a Wo species himself, he was able to transport the human heros to his home system. There at Wowie Land, Woody and Buzz discovered the true nature of the Wos, and how each species had their own planet in alphabetical order too. Wowie was a Wo Ae, and Wobby, a polar bear at a Wowie Land bar, was a Wo Bee, and Tubs a Wo Dee. After a tense battle of the wits with Wowie's father, King Ted Wee I, and the mean Wowie Governor, Wowie convinced his father to let him go home to Earth, on the condition that he would still be King in the future.

### Mother Peterson

Woody's relationship with his father would soon suffer as the mystery of Woody's mother grew stronger. With the arrival and so called 'return' of Victor Sal to the town, a mercenary and associate of 'Him', and Sal's surprise association with Woody's Mam and the family past, tensions rose stronger. Sal overtook the town's leaders and claimed control of the TSPD along with a small army of mercenaries to help him. They charged Woody's Mam, aka Jane Emily Peterson with faking her death and hiding from justice. This surprised Wood as he had always been told that his mam left him and died when he was younger according to Woody's Dad. Angered, Woody's mission for the truth only grew more dangerous.

### Distractions

Kelly arrived at last for real this time, and Woody wasn't happy. She always treated him as lesser than most. Around Halloween of this year, the family would be attacked by an army of horrible creatures known as Nas (Naahs), who were looking for one of their own kind, Carnage, a new friend of Jessie's at work. The family were saved when one of the creatures, Venom, fell in love with carnage and refused to attack, resulting in Gobby having to scare them all away.
Later that year, Green Man returned, and once again tried to achieve his plans of domination over Woody, this time using a veil of fake redemption, and joining the Petersons for dinner. After finally convincing Wood of his 'changed ways', he once more kidnapped Woody (and Buzz this time) and tried to change him, and once again was attacked and scared away by the TSPD.

### Tensions Rising and Acceptance

With Victor Sal joining foces with Buzz's brother, now calling himself 'Bad Buzz', and Sal's forces growing stronger on the side, Woody had no choice but to look closer into his father's history, looking for answers that explained what happened to his mam. Buzz was also having problems with his own dad, and together they both secretly travelled to Star Command using their parents credentials, a massive space station where the McCallister men worked for many years as Rangers, and where Woody's Dad seemingly associated and visited often. After overhearing a meeting with both of their fathers, the two were discovered and sent home, following a major argument with Buzz and his dad. Information wise, the only thing that was found was that Sal knew their fathers in the past in some form.
After the death of Buzz Senior at the hands of an unkown laser, Woody was desperate for information. He spoke with his Gramps about Gramps' seemingly new pet owl, Owly, who turns out isn't new at all, and is legendary in some form, the pet of Sheriff Woody Peterson 1st of 1885. Woody is told that Owly is a helper, and only shows when a hero needs him the most. 'Only True Heroes Can Wish For Him', apparently. Other than that, Owly's origins are unknown.
That same night, Woody and his mother were finally reunited, only to be ambushed by Sal's forces. Defended by Wowie, Woody and Buzz were able to fight off the soldiers and their trucks, but Woody's Mam still ended up taken by one of them. So the three heros flew to her rescue, very slowly...
They didn't succeed, and Woody, with his mam were taken alone to a chamber of sorts, an underground base were Sal had bigger plans. He intended to revive the 'dark lord', using the touch of Woody's Mam combined with a magic entity called 'The Ressurector'. Upon attempting this ritual, it backfired, and turned Sal into a giant Werewolf, Wolfy Sal. The ritual seemed to knock out Woody's mam, and now it was left for Woody to defeat Sal once and for all.
The Wolf was, however too strong, and seemed to be getting bigger by the minute, only to be ambushed himself by Joe Joeson and his T.A.R.D.I.S.. He grew once more and then exploded into a splash of goo.
Woody's Mam, was critically injured, and upon stating her pride and love for her son, died in his arms.

Woody, although still not completely understanding of his father and mother's history, was at peace nonetheless, and forgave his mother regardless for her absence. She will 'always be in his head'.
