Peter was born in a small town somewhere in Nevada. He grew up in a broken and abusive home, causing him to find comfort in reading. His favorite genres being mysteries and the supernatural, he eventually stumbled across a conspiracy theory novel. He was hooked, and grew to be fascinated by the unknown. Peter would spend his teens trespassing onto government property to try and learn the governments secrets, though he was never successful and only built up a criminal record. He was eventually arrested and sent to prison when he was 19, but was released on parole when he was 21. Peter was 22 when his mutant ability first developed. He could only look on in a mixture of fascination and horror and his body twisted and contorted into a large, fleshy beast. For days he stayed in this form, tearing apart his living space while trying to find something his instincts were drawing him too. Eventually he found it; the white ski mask that was gifted to him by a now long dead friend, the same mask he would wear when trespassing in an effort to hide his identity. When he pulled the mask onto something resembling a head, his body began to pull back together into something human. The mask not only allowed him to control his body, but his new abilities as well. With these new powers, Peter immediately returned to breaking into government buildings. Except this time he could stay out of the law enforcement's grasp. Peter kept this up for ten years until he was finally captured by government officials working for the OEU. He was then put on a boat and transported to Australia.

## Power

Peter's mutation has turned his body into a grotesque and odd form. His body is riddled with bone-y protrusions, extra eyes, extra mouths and other bodily features, if he so desired. He has complete control of their placement on his body, and can as many or as few as he likes. He can also stretch his body slightly, making his torso or a limb roughly 3 feet longer. His odd body also makes it possible for him to squeeze through small, tight spaces like an octopus.

When Peter takes off his ski mask all the way off his head, his body breaks down and grows in size, eventually appearing as a large, monstrous, fleshy beast. This form is known as "The Hound".

While in Hound form, Peter can absorb the bodies of the deceased and use their mass or grow even larger in size. This form is known as "The Wyrm" and it's size is dependent on how many bodies Peter absorbs.

## Appearance

### Beginning

Peter is a pale, tall, skinny man with brown hair and light blue eyes. His right iris and pupil are misshapen into an hourglass shape. He is wearing a light brown jacket with lots of pins. He's wearing a grey shirt, black skinny jeans, and black sneakers. His ski mask is pure white, with a little tear near the top of his head where some hair sticks out.

### Post Base Raid

Peter's clothes are now tattered beyond repair. On the right side of his mask is a large bloodstain from when his ear was shot off. One of his arms is broken while the other is severely burned.

### Moonwalker

Peters skin is extremely pale, nearly straight up white. He wears a long white coat with a grey turtleneck, black jeans and black sneakers. His mask is now spattered with blood. He is missing his right thumb and right pointer finger. All of his extra body parts from his mutation are gone.

## Post Moonwalker

Peters skin has returned to its normal color. He's wearing nothing but a bullet proof vest and cargo shorts. His mask is completely red now.

## Personality

Peter is very eccentric, and is often paranoid around strangers. However, with close friends he's much more friendly and easy going. He tends to get carried away with planning, and will often propose wild ideas. He's just a weird, goofy dude.
