Basics -
Name: Peter Petrelli
Age: 26
Gender: Male
Nationality/Hometown/State: American/Manhattan/New York
Misc. Stats: 5'9'' 150-170lbs, dark brown hair, dark brown eyes, fair white skin.
Character Depth -
Appearance: Tall and lanky, he seems rather wimpy and fragile at a glance, but is surprisingly durable when put to the test. His hair is soft and fine and tends to get dirty easily, and its long bangs tend to fall into his face whenever he does anything. He is comfortable wearing almost anything, but has a penchant for tee-shirts, slacks, and trenchcoats of varying colors.
Personality: He has a gentle spirit and a kind soul, and always cares for everyone he comes across. In a way, he has a very simplistic outlook on life, believing in strong family bonds, and the goodness of a human heart. As he encounters more of the world, however, his wide-eyed adolescent views are continuously being challenged and compromised.
Quirks/Phobias/Oddities: His impulsive and stubborn demeanor about rash decisions often causes people to doubt his mental stability.
Skills and Talents: He is a med school graduate, and was a Hospice nurse for six months, until quitting to go on a journey to 'save the world'. He also has a decent knowledge of law, having grown up in a family of lawyers, and presumably taking some law school before becoming a nurse.
Family/Past relationships: Mother - Angela Petrelli, Older Brother - Nathan Petrelli, Sister-in-law - Heidi Petrelli, Nephews - Monty and Simon Petrelli, Neice(unknown) - Claire Bennet. Not-Quite-Girlfriend - Simone Deveaux
Misc. Traits and Trivia: Very impulsive and trusting. Has a special bond with his brother, and has on occassion 'felt' when his brother was in peril.
History: Growing up in a family heavily involved in political undercurrents, Peter Petrelli was initially expected to follow in his father's footsteps, and take up the family business of lawyers. However, his personality conflicted with the life of a lawyer, and he often believed his father was a criminal himself for dealing with and protecting criminals. As a result, he was mostly neglected by his father in favor of his older brother.
He maintained a strong love and loyalty to family, however, and despite his distaste for his father's line of work, enrolled in law school. When not long after, during one of his cases his father became deeply involved with a mob boss by the name of Linderman, who was suspected for theft, murder, and racketeering, however, Peter became disgusted with the profession, and changed to medical school, opting instead to become a Hospice nurse.
Not long after graduating, his brother approached him with evidence that could bring down both the mob boss and his crooked father once and for all. Due to his persisting loyalty, however, he refuses to aid his brother in taking a case that would adversely affect his father. When his brother is attacked by the mob boss, and his sister-in-law crippled, he relents and tells his brother he will aid in taking down Linderman and his father.
Their plans ground to a halt when his father died of a heart attack the next day, and Peter resigned himself to being a Hospice nurse, while his brother decided to take a political career.
Six months later, he began to have strangely vivid dreams of flying, which he believed to have some significance, and often tried to confide in his brother about. His brother continuously brushed him off and warned him against adversely impacting his career.
His persistance that the dreams were indeed real, however, led him down an extraordinary path of adventure and discovery, that even his dreams could not have foretold.
After rescuing a Texan cheerleader, and facing against a sinister villian, he collapsed on the way home, and suffered through a repetitive nightmare for two weeks while he remained in comatose.
Now awake, and convinced that he will be the cause for an explosion foretold by a fellow hero, he is determined to stop himself and save the people around him, no matter the cost.
Hero stuff -
Power: Empathy. His molecular structure resequences itself whenever it is around another hero, and allows him to mimick their ability, without any of the mental blocks they may have. If he encounters too many in a short period of time, it can have a detrimental effect on him.
When he grasps his power and learns to master it, he will be able to access any power he has come into contact with, simply by remembering how that person made him feel.
(Known list of contacted powers: flight, precognition (Through painting/drawing, and possibly through dreaming), spontaneous regeneration, telepathy, telekinesis, and scary-voice)
Level of mastery/awareness of power: He barely even has a meager understanding of his abilities. So far he has never been able to manifest abilities when not around his benifactor (except briefly after meeting them, as a sort of 'echo')
Alliegence: He has no knowledge of any such organizations.
Goals/Driving purposes: Save the cheerleader, save the world. Save New York, save his family.
OOC -
Name: Yusagi
Roleplaying Experience: I know almost anything there *is* to know about heroes, and have 18 years of experience in general roleplaying, and going on 7 years of forum roleplaying. I have run several RPGs, Co-adminned and modded several more, and played in dozens. I am also the highest tier of roleplayer in AL ;p.
Roleplaying Sample: Don't think this is really necessary, considering you already well know my roleplaying style and ability.
