HEALTH & LIFESTYLE

DIET: Eats whatever they serve him, he can eat pretty much anything. He loves junkfood, since it's a bit of a luxury to him.

EXERCISE: Has started working out in a proper gym since doing sports has gotten a little harder in college, since running on a treadmill is sort of like soccer. Kinda.

SLEEP: Sleeps like an absolute log. Can also sleep anywhere.

HYGIENE: Does his best, but - getting into the shower is so much work sometimes. Sometimes only gets in once a priest or Haven complains!

ADDICTION: None yet!

HISTORY OF PHYSICAL ILLNESS

Fairly hardy, all things considered. Has caught pnemonia a few times by staying out in the cold for far too long, whether it was because he was having too fun or because he was intent on hiding from someone.

SCARS: Usual scars you get from accidents and sports injuries.

ALLERGY: Pollen. Spring is a fun time...

INTOLERANCE: None!

STRENGTHS

Great listener, all things considered.

Once he's passionate about something, he really goes all-in!

WEAKNESSES

Gives up quite quickly. It's not working? Well, looks like another failure. Sigh.

Quick to assume. Not the reaction he expected? Ah, you hate it!!

FLAWS

Very gullible. If you sound sincere enough he will buy whatever you're selling.

Gets too attached too quickly. Don't be nice to him - you've adopted him now!

HABITS

Kinda guy to slap the doorframe. Bonk!

Drums his fingers on the desk if he's bored

PET PEEVES

Doesn't like it when people swear... Themis can hear you!!

Gets really mad when his horns clip something. Just another reason to hate being Sin!!

WISHES

PLEASEEE BE REPENT PLEASEEEEEE HES WORKED SOOO HARD

He wishes for a million bros!! A million bros and a soccer scholarship!!

PREJUDICE

Intrinsically looks down on other Sin, especially ones that are making no effort to improve.

Tends to avoid the yellow-eyed. Fortunately, he's bad at noticing those things.

SECRETS

Girl help, what if I'm bisexual?????

To be honest... he doesn't want to leave, the real world is scary - can't he and his friends stay here forever??

PHILOSOPHY

Everything Themis teaches! Laws and orders keep everything in place. They protect the weak from the strong. They protect the kind from the cruel. Without order, everything would be lost.

BIRTHPLACE: Born inside Mercury Academy, Peter has spent his entire life on the campus.

ENVIRONMENT: Grew up in a very strict, controlled, and religious environment.

OVERALL HISTORY

CHILDHOOD: Having been born cursed, Peter grew up inside the church, raised by priests alongside the other born. His life was quite simple when he was very young - struggling to sit still during prayer, running outside to play with his friends, crying when something didn't go his way. Even if it was nothing fancy, he was always fed, and always had someone to talk to, and that was about the most he could ask for. The kids he grew up alongside were as much as his siblings as anyone else might have been - some older, some younger. Peter was a very sociable child and would always be playing with his various siblings. Of all the kids though, he was closest to Haven - a born around the same age as him, who had similarly ginger hair. The priests would remark on how similar they looked, which delighted Peter, feeling like he had a real and true brother. But that wasn't quite true - after all, Haven still had his mother in his life.
Peter doesn't have any clear memories of his mother. The priests told him that she loved him well enough and did her best to graduate, to be with him again. He spent a lot of his childhood waiting to see her, especially when the other kids around them would come back from parental visits. She was working hard, right? And the priests said Themis would guide her.
It was strange then, when the priests told him that she had passed on. He didn't really know her. What had he lost? Nothing had changed. Nothing other than... the hope, he guessed. He attended the funeral with Haven by his side, feeling guilty that he couldn't manage any tears.
The guilt got worse when Haven's mother passed on, and he took it a lot harder than Peter ever had. Peter wondered if there was something wrong with him? The priests had always told them that they were sinners - having inherited the burden of their parent's sins - while they had not asked to be born, their births were still marred by circumstance, and therefore a mistake. He felt like he finally understood that. If he hadn't been born like this - if it was other circumstances, he was sure that it would have affected him properly. The horns vanished from his head and the priests all praised him for having done a good job, which made him feel a lot better. He didn't really have a family to make proud, so... Themis was good enough for him!

ADOLESCENCE: From birth to elementary, Peter was fairly happy. Everything in his life made sense and he was surrounded by people he loved. It was a sheltered existence, but he was satisfied with it. Once he made it into the highschool, however, it started happening -- new people. At first he was excited by the prospect of making new friends! But it seemed that these new people were different than the kids he grew up with. They didn't like him. They thought he was annoying. Some of them were pretty violent - hey, some of these kids have actually done some pretty horrible things--
He fell back on his bros, but they weren't always around. They had their own problems, own goals, own friends - Peter was suddenly alone. He didn't know what to do, he'd never been hated like this before! He experimented with a few methods until he finally found a way to get through it - head down, don't speak unless spoken to, keep playing it cool and maybe they'll buy it. It seemed to work well enough - that and his natural talent at sports made it easier for him to be tentatively accepted into the student body, not really close to anyone, but allowed to be there, which was good enough for him, he supposed.
Seemed with each fire he put out, however, a new one started blazing - waking up in the morning with goat horns back on his head. He couldn't believe it - how did he stop repenting?? The priests chastized him and encouraged him to keep trying harder. He spent hours praying in the church. What had he done wrong? He didn't feel any different, did he?
Did he?
As miserable as he felt somedays, as everyone pushed past him to run off to a party he wasn't invited to... he could still go back to the dorm and spend time with Haven. When he was sad, he could visit the temple and cry into a priest's lap. When he was hungry, he could still eat. Through prayer and consultation he realised the issue was... he just couldn't regret life! Even when things were dire, there was an optimism in his soul he couldn't snuff out. This sucks, but - they'll fix it! Someone can help him. He shoots a game-winning goal. There's dinner on the table and tomorrow is a new day. How could he regret all of this? He regretted not feeling bad about his mother, not really knowing her, but... he didn't even know her sin. Was the world really so bad with him on it? The priests tried to explain it in a way he'd understand, and he continued trying to work on it. He did want to be repent - obviously! He loved Themis. He wanted to make his family happy. And - if he made it out... he wanted to see what a human Peter looked like. He just needed to find a way to make it work. The journey to repentance filled most of his free time - he would go through phases where he stopped talking to any sins, dedicating half his time to the church, finally pushing through to Repent, working so hard on keeping it --
Wake up with goat horns and crawl back to Haven with infinite apologies as he lamented another failure. Why was everything so hard? He wished on some level he could agree with Haven, but - he just needed to try harder. Look at Nadja! Just be like her!

ADULTHOOD: Peter's miserably low grades had him held back a year. The priests asked if he wanted to skip grade 12 and go to the college immediately once he was 18 - he decided to finish Grade 12 to stay with Haven and his other bros, afraid to be alone and... wanting to prove that he could actually get a GED. It'd help a lot, if he ever managed to get out of here. It was hard to pick a program once he did get to the Academy, especially since sports weren't an option. He thought a lot about it, before thinking about how much food helped cheer him up. Maybe if he learned how to cook... he could help spread that same joy? At least it was a decision. It was that or Criminal Justice, but that seemed a bit too scary for him, even if it was physically demanding.
The new school is horribly intimidating, and... the idea that this is the end, seeing the whole world he's been hidden from for so long - it's terrifying!!
But... at least he still has his bros by his side.

BEST MEMORY: A daytrip in Elementary to a nearby lake. The weather is perfect and Peter has the most fun of his life playing in the water with his friends!!

WORST MEMORY: He screams for help but no one comes. This is the first time he realises how possible it is for him to be completely alone.

SHORT-TERM GOALS: Dear Themis. Please help him be good in this class. It would mean the world to him to do well for once!!

LONG-TERM GOALS: Repent, and then graduate! IN THAT ORDER!!

INTERNAL CONFLICT: There has to be a way he can become Repent without falling into despair... he needs to repent!!
