[Background]
Peter is a Role Holder, one of 12 (...and then later like 16 but that's for the games) figures in Heart Country with a distinct face and 'part' to play. These roles correspond to different hours of the day, and Peter, dear Peter, was the hour that Alice always met with her sister in the afternoons. So he watched her and adored her from afar like...well, a creepy stalker, and all was well.

And then Alice's sister died, her boyfriend dumped her over Lorena's grave because he'd been in love with her, and her youngest sister hated her for not showing enough emotion or...something. It was just generally distressing all in all, so Peter hatched a plan so Alice could be happy! With Nightmare's help, he set up a new 'game', and brought Alice to Heart Country, erasing all her memories of her sister's death with it. However, kidnapping a girl and stranding her in a strange world doesn't tend to go over very well, especially when accompanied by loud declarations of love.

Peter wasn't much deterred by this; Alice's happiness was of course the most important thing, but it would be best if she fell in love with him and stayed in Heart country, right? Right. The problem with this plan (well, one of the many, many problems) was one Blood Dupre, who happened to have the same face as Alice's ex. As time went by, Alice befriended the Role Players in Heart country, and Peter found himself growing more and more jealous, even with her growing a little less punch-happy towards him. The ball came around and he confessed such to her, but he found he couldn't make her remember why he should be precious to her without ruining everything. Alice chased after Blood, and Peter was a sad, sad rabbit. To make matters worse, Alice would soon have been able to return, and who could rely on Blood to bring her back? I mean, seriously.

The time came and the mad hatter did actually man up, bringing Alice back to Heart Country. Peter decided that even if she didn't love him right then, there was still always a chance as long as she was there, and cheered up considerably. Surely, that counts as a happy ending! Or would have, if he wasn't now stuck in a dreamworld full of germs he's never even heard of and a bunch of idiots getting them all over Alice.

Life as a rabbit is hard.

[Personality]

Peter’s a special bunny, that’s for certain. On one side, the side most see, Peter’s irritable, short-tempered and sharp-tongued, saying exactly what he thinks of you in polite language, and he’s more than likely to take a shot at you if you annoy him. Which you will. By breathing. If you’re an idiot, he’ll tell you so. If he hates you, he’ll say so. With Peter, you’ll always know where you stand, and where you stand is "please go die". He rarely smiles except at the thought of getting rid of someone he hates, and what he’ll find amusement in is anyone’s guess.

But Peter has another side to him, his ‘White’ Side. This is a side that only appears around someone he likes (Read; Alice) is an over-enthusiastic, clingy, stalkery side. He cares for nothing more than that person’s happiness, and he’ll do anything to win their affection, even changing his appearance into a cute little bunny, just to win their affection. He says himself, he doesn’t need things like ‘pride’ if the person he likes likes him back. The downside to this? Peter reacts even more violently when anyone else is near that person...he’ll forgive them for loving someone else, but if you’re just a friend, then it’s fine for him to kill you, in the land of Peter-logic. He’s just a very trigger-happy bunny, but he’s a sweet guy in there somewhere. If you're Alice. Only if you're Alice.

As mentioned above, the man is a possessive, easily jealous creature, switching between his ‘White’ and ‘Black’ sides at a moment’s notice. Peter appears to have been a ‘role-player’ for quite some time, and as such is actually pretty knowledgeable about how Wonderland works (although one could say this is also due to being the Castle of Heart’s Prime Minister). Peter has, it appears, very little idea of how to actually interact and deal with people…and being irritated by 99% of everyone that ever lived doesn’t help. Having no tolerance for annoyance, Peter rarely gives people another chance to make a better impression—if he even lets them live through a bad first impression.

Even with all of that, Peter is also perfectly willing to work with someone he hates if it gets him what he wants. Despite being unable to connect (or, more precisely, not caring enough to connect) with the other Role-Players, he is quick to notice changes in behavior, and is sharp enough to figure out why quite a bit of the time. If nothing else, he’s polite, and can’t stand rudeness—apparently, in the land of Peter-logic, shooting people doesn’t count as being rude—often pointing out the manners others are lacking. So in earning his ire, you can at least take comfort in he’ll ask you very politely to die in a fire.

[Abilities]
As a Role Holder, Peter holds the ability to turn his signature watch into a pistol with seemingly limitless ammo, and is a good shot with it to boot. He's mentioned as a good enough fighter that it would be completely impossible to execute him, although it's unclear where he stands against people like Ace or Elliot. He appears to be faster than your average human (as do all the role-holders), and he has the hearing you'd expect from a man with two foot tall rabbit ears.

He has the ability, at least within Heart Country, to change the time of day to a certain hour. There are rules against him doing this, though, and it won't work in Somarium where time follows a mostly logical flow.

Peter can also turn into a fuzzy white rabbit in a suit. He's vulnerable to attack and easily subdued by his ears, but he is also goddamn adorable and very fluffy to hug.

[Other important stuff]
None!

[Sample post]
[First Person]
"What disgusts you the most?"
Ace. All of the rest of them are annoying and useless, but he's the worst, absolutely the worst. It'd be nice if he just died.

"If someone provoked or attacked you, what would you do?"
...If they're that stupid, they really just need to die. Of course I'd kill them.

"Murder. What is your opinion?"
'Murder'? What does it matter, useless idiots will just be replaced...I don't care, but Alice doesn't like it.

"What... is the air-speed velocity of an unladen swallow?"
...Are you an idiot?

"You are told that this is a dream world, but you must go deeper. What are your first thoughts?"
A dream world? I've made it clear to Nightmare he's not to come into my mind like such, but that's not the point. Are you trying to waste my time, or is this just carelessness?

"Am I asking too many personal or strange questions?"
Ah, I see, you are just incompetent. Well, in that case, please die. [Annnd the interview ends to the sound of a loud gunshot.]

[Third Person]
The forest wouldn't look any different, but Peter knew better. It wasn't just the minor differences in scenery; deep in his bones he felt it. There weren't turns, the hours ticked on normally, and the shadows of after-images didn't appear for anyone's death. Altogether, it was closer to the world Alice had come from than Heart country.

It was annoying. Peter had come to a stop in the woods, but it didn't help. Alice was here, but so were so many of those idiots...If this were a dream, couldn't it have been one without distasteful, dangerous people like Blood Dupre? Not to mention that damn hare...That wasn't even the worst, though. Peter gritted his teeth, ears at alert as he listened to the chirp of birds and the sound of random animals in the underbrush. Ace, Ace was here. He couldn't even get away from that idiot in a dream! If it had been Nightmare's doing, he would have shot the succubus so that he'd have died painfully for something like this. But it wasn't, and Nightmare wasn't even here, leaving nothing for Peter to take out his frustration on, since Ace wouldn't even do him the courtesy of holding still.

Well, almost nothing. He heard the telltale crack of a twig, and considered shooting, but what was the point? Peter didn't hold any special love for other rabbits, but they weren't Ace, and they weren't the useless Cards of the castle, so there wouldn't be any satisfaction in killing them at all. He stood still, considering the situation for a long moment, before letting out a sigh. It wasn't any good. With those people here, Alice's virtue was constantly in danger...not to mention her life, come to think of it. It couldn't be helped, he just had to watch her and make sure; even if she still didn't come to love him, he'd still just get rid of anything that upset her.

With that in mind, he turned around, heading back towards civilization proper. As long as Alice was happy...Peter would make sure that was true, no matter what.

[Why do you want to play this character in Somarium?]
I'd played him here before, looong ago, and I was always kind of sad I'd dropped him! Peter's kind of awful to anyone not Alice, but forcing him to deal with a whole goddamn herd of people who are human as she is (and a whole herd who aren't!) seems like an interesting character experiment.

[Which rule was your favorite and why?] Iii've always been a fan of the adult-content rules. It seems like a pretty clear way to keep that marked so people who don't want to read it can just skip riiiight on over and it's not all right there for people to stumble into.

[Where did you hear about Somarium?] I was here before, I...I don't remember how I heard about it the first time. D:

[Any questions?] Nope.
