Peter is often on screen for short times, which is included into the show as a running joke about "Contract negotiations" about how he is contractually required to show up. Peter is often seen angry with chad, but still keeping his best interest at heart. While barely supplying the basic necessities for sustaining life, Peter's actual job is often kept ambiguous, his room has also never been seen in an episode of the series.

Often times Peter is portrayed completely drunk, while accomplishing things a drunk would never be able to achieve. This includes flying a helicopter, driving a car, or firing weapons. Adding to the humor that he's the one character on the series with a most destructive personality.

Aspects of Peter's Conversation are often rambling, word correction's, and stumbling to keep a conversation. Peter also provides off handed comments picking on Chad & Deuu, and often derails the ending of talks in screaming, or passing out drunk.

## Character Origins

In February of 2008, discussions for the initial CNP series included the goal of making a Character called "P\*psi". Peter would begin developing from that moment.

The Initial introduction of the character in "Mock thy Nieghbor" (First Pilot), was a concerned, often uptight and collected character. P\*psi was the brain's of the brotherly duo, and often was scolding Coke's naive nature.

With The P\*psi Incident (2009) , P\*psi was changed into "Peter". The character was on screen less often as episodes progressed into 2010.

By 2013, Peter had become seldom on the show except for a few moments in the beginning, middle, or end of episodes. The character's moral standing, and overall personality, made Peter the most forgettable character of the series, despite having a shared letter in the show's title. Peter at this time was re-written into the form of an obnoxious alcoholic, which soon became the main character trait for all episodes after 2013.

The inspiration for Peter to be written as an alcoholic stems from his lack of appearances on the show. As a result of barely being in the show, Peter (or the actor that plays Peter) drowns out depression of a sad career as a side character by drinking heavily. The heavy drinking would soon fall into the actors scenes, and eventually became a canon character trait.

The result of being re-written into an alcoholic has also lead to a re-occurring joke in the series, in which Peter mentions a contractual negotiation to appear more often on screen. This has even led to moments at the end of episodes without him in the plot, giving commentary, or directly mentioning the negotiations in a drunken rant. This was the direction the character took in the writing process, to add meta humor to the series and improve the characters memorability. This has resulted in Peter becoming one of the most beloved characters of the series for his antics.

Peter becoming an alcoholic, or the actor portraying Peter struggling and influencing their performance, was inspired by pop culture. Alexo has pointed to the 2007 interview with Paula Abdul, and the struggles of Carrie Fisher while making the original star wars films as inspiration behind this character change.
