## Description

### Appearance

Peter Sqloint is a young man with pasty skin and brown hair styled as a bowl cut. He has a tomato-like nose and brown eyes. He has big glasses that rest on his face. He wears a simple undershirt with a coat vest and ill-fitting dark brown pants with large boots.

After his 'pact' with the Archangel of Retribution and Justice, Exandroth, he can perform spells flavored to be radiant and biblically-accurate-horror-like. He can sprout 4-6 golden glowing wings from his back, and blinding white light pours from his eyes and mouth when he performs certain spells. However, the use of these powers often causes Peter to be in excruciating pain as well as injure him.

### Personality

There is no better way to describe Peter's personality than simply the word 'doormat'. Despite being quite friendly he is often found emptying his pockets of their contents before a thief even has time to threaten him. He is very quick to accept any circumstance he finds himself in and usually just goes along with whatever his current group is doing. Peter has mentioned the fact that he has not had very many friends in his life, this could be due to his socially awkward tendencies or simply just really bad luck.

Peter's pact with Exandroth resulted in the archangel finding his home in the crevices of Peter's mind, often trying to worm his way out and take full control of Peter's body in order to fulfill his, often bloodthirsty, goals. However, Peter does have the the ability to fight back and has done so before, with mixed results. When possessed by Exandroth Peter is effectively unconscious and is completely unaware of his surroundings and anything Exandroth says or does. This means that any of "Peter's" words or actions while in this fully possessed state are not his own and are instead Exandroth's.

## Background/History

Peter was a worker at a rock-sorting company up until the Day of Choosing, an important day where 5 people would be chosen to hold immense magical powers. While heading out to witness the ceremony, he was caught in the middle of mass panic as the sky itself began to fall- cracking like glass, leaving behind an endless void in its place. In this panic, he was visited by the Archangel Exandroth, who forcibly gave him immense power as they formed this hastily-made holy pact.

Upon the pact being created, Peter watched as one of the new Chosen ones, a younger man named Julius Swiftwalker, was taken over by what seemed to be a strange possession or changing that transformed him into a Blight. With Exandroth's help, he managed to dispel the turned creature and cause it to flee.

For months prior to this, he'd had dreams of horrific visions and prophecies. Sometimes these would include the two he would eventually come to know as, Rumi and Thanatos. He met Rumi about four months after Prevarus lost its sun, at a tavern where Rumi was performing. After Peter was roped into playing the viola for Rumi's performance, the two quickly became friends, and after learning of Julius Swiftwalker's whereabouts, they headed off. Peter and Rumi were intercepted by a wounded man with a broken leg, who stated that something had attacked him and his brother.

In a makeshift wooden arena of logs, Peter and Rumi finally met their third traveling partner, Thanatos, who had just killed the hunter's brother. After a brief fight, Peter and Rumi were finally able to convince the warforged to let them join him in his journey.

## Relationships

### Rumi

*Main:* Relationship between Rumi and Peter Sqloint

Peter admired Rumi since their first meeting, as Rumi showered Peter with affection and talk of their "fated meeting" and how he was "perfect" since laying eyes on him. Since Rumi saw Peter in his visions of the future as one of the individuals he would come to travel with, he became quickly attached to him. Peter had, allegedly, never been given positive affirmation in his life prior to meeting Rumi, and thus was often overcome with emotion at Rumi's praise towards him early-on in the campaign, crying from it. As time passed, he transitioned to simply being more shy than overwhelmed, however.

The unwavering support and praise from Rumi in part caused Peter to fall in love with him over the course of the Apotheosis, culminating in Episode 11: Treachery when Peter (and Exandroth, by extension) admitted under Rumi's Zone of Truth spell and later *again* that he was in love with him, to which Rumi proposed they "bang right now" (they did). Rumi also said that he was in love with Peter while in the Zone. While the extent of his truthfulness regarding this was unknown, as he passed the save and was able to lie as normal in the Zone, Grizzly later confirmed in Apotheosis Just Rolled Episode 12 that Rumi really *does* love Peter. Rumi seems to care about Peter a great deal, as evident by not only his support of him but also in other, smaller things such as his jealousy towards Thanatos for gifting Peter a rock, to which Rumi felt the need to one-up him and gift Peter with a piece of his already-broken gem horn, as well as Grizzly's note that Rumi is now "constantly" holding Peter's hand, just because.

### Thanatos

Thanatos and Peter are unlikely friends. While their start was rocky, and Peter remained quite afraid of him for some time, and Thanatos quite dismissive and threatening towards Peter on the other hand, they became nothing short of close upon traveling together, alongside Rumi.

Peter is one of if not the only people that Thanatos has ever been kind to in any sense of the word. He feels some need to protect Peter, at the least, coming to his defense against a bidet in the bathroom of a tavern readily... He additionally objects to Peter being insulted and reacts violently to harm and insult done to Peter. Like Rumi, though perhaps more surprisingly, Thanatos has on multiple occasions reiterated Peter's strength and worth to him. Though, contrary to Rumi, he has also attributed a majority of Peter's *power* to Exandroth, acknowledging that the angel is the real brawn behind him, even if chaotic. Regardless, it's clear that Peter acts like somewhat of a buffer between Thanatos and raw impulse. While Peter was scared and remains naturally intimidated by Thanatos, he considers him a best friend and even kept painted rocks that looked like him -- one themed red, for his "evil" look, and one themed blue, with a smile painted on as well. It seems that Peter truly believes there is a "good" or empathetic side to Thanatos, which is somewhat fair to at least assume, given how Thanatos treats Peter in comparison to everyone else.

Thanatos has not only gifted Peter with a rock simply for the sake of doing something nice (something Thanatos does *not* do), but he is also the only person Thanatos has apologized to.

### Lizard

Prior to the events of Episode 1, Peter's life entirely revolved around his pet lizard. His attitude and affection towards Lizard does not seem to change even after being given additional, non-lizard related, goals by both Rumi and Exandroth. Peter seems to quickly come to terms with his beloved pet's transformation in Episode 2 as well as his newly acquired holy powers, and seems to believe it to be 'normal Lizard behavior'. Lizard and Peter seem to have some sort of psychic link, that gives Peter the ability to see through the eyes of Lizard.

### Exandroth

Exandroth does not show concern for any harm that comes to Peter, instead opting to call Peter weak at any given opportunity. Exandroth appears to almost despise Peter, often insulting and belittling him, and seems to only be using Peter to meet his own goals. While Peter seems to hold Exandroth in high regards at least in terms of acknowledging his power, as he often gives credit to use of his powers to Exandroth even if Exandroth was not in full possession of him at the time, he has still acknowledged an obvious dislike, if developed acceptance, towards Exandroth's hold on his body.
