## Personality

**INQUISITIVE / IDEALISTIC / FORWARD / ANALYTICAL / DWEEB**

* **His Heart Burns For Justice**, he is the quintessential rookie cop in the buddy cop movie starring those two dudes-- you know the one I'm talking about. He's the wet behind the ears hasn't been on The Streets long enough kid without the good sense to have found a partner whose Too Old For This Shit. Basically, he still believes that good will triumph over evil and with enough evidence he will make it happen.
* ⋆In spite of this **he loves the Noir detective *# aesthetic*** and dreams of being one, without realizing that he's the furthest thing from a hardboiled detective you can get.
* That being said, **he's not all show no go**-- he's capable of thinking analytically, has a fairly decent bullshit meter and can conduct research like a motherfucker.
* **He's fairly aggressive and in-your-face.** Someone who will pace around the room- partially because he's gotta move, partially because it looks cool.

## Background

When Peter was 5 he became aware of a home invader.

It was a serial case. The man hit every house on the block and then some-- which was impressive, considering his alleged size and age. He came at night, after everyone had fallen asleep, taking food and leaving trash. Peter decided that enough was enough. He asked around. He got the facts, he spoke to witnesses, and that night, that cold December night, he followed his leads and waited in the dark for the man to appear.

There was a click of the hall light. A thump as footsteps made their way to the living room. Peter held his breath. The silhouette of the man came into view. The intruder did not appear as fat as his mother had said, nor did he come down the chimney, but Peter was born ready. He leapt from his hiding place with a mighty yell! Brandishing his Jr. Kids Detective Cop Nightstick he gave the man's shins a hard whack, pleased to hear an aggrieved yell in response. He had done it. He had Saved The Family.

"Petey what the **FUCK**," his father yodeled, hopping on one leg as he tried to stabilize himself on anything after his son's attack. Anything turned out to be the Christmas tree, and with a crash it toppled over, along with Peter's dad who, as it turns out, was not the notorious Santa Claus.

"Well, no, actually, he is," Peter's mother explained later, after the tree went back up and his wounded father had been given an ice pack. "Santa Claus isn't real, Pete, your dad and I buy the presents and put them under the tree. But I guess we can stop all that. Merry Christmas, go to bed."

Mystery ... solved.

* **Peter grew up in Fremont, CA.** He's determined to make the big move to New York City where his life will truly begin. Currently in the process of transferring his rinky-dink community college credits to NYU in order to pursue his dreams™ of being a detective. And to be in a place where he can watch musicals on Broadway.
* **Overall he has always wanted to be a detective.** And not just any detective, but a real live gumshoe, complete with a trenchcoat and Noir lighting. His parents have tried to steer him in the more reasonable direction of a cop.
* **His mother and father are alive and well** and worry a lot about their dipshit son.
* **He has an older brother** who is much more sensible than him in every way.
* **He loves Broadway musicals** and is determined to keep this love a secret from all. For all of sixteen seconds. Then he's likely to interject into any conversation, "So what Hamilton song made you cry most? For me, it's a toss up between Satisfied or Quiet Uptown, y'know?"
* **He's fascinated by conspiracy theories** and rates each new one he reads about. Currently the top theory is "There is no moon," however it's being closely rivaled by "Trees aren't real."
