Romance

Roman Godfrey
♕ Hemlock Grove
saturniaprovia
There's a lot going on here that isn't being said. Peter is in love with him. He's not saying the words because they still fucking terrify him, but they're there. He made a deal to do something terrifyingly similar to honest work to get Roman's car back for Christmas. He was Peter's first friend, first time he couldn't run. As the City falls apart, losing Roman is one of his biggest worries.

Pack

Derek Hale
♕ Teen Wolf
lupusalpha
Derek is his Alpha. Technically, Derek and Scott were co-Alphas, but Derek was the one that Peter goes to when he has a problem. He lived with him for a while, a sporadic place to crash while he and Roman were navigating the transition between friends and something more. Derek understands parts of him no one else does; what it's like to be born a wolf.
Isaac Lahey
♕ Teen Wolf
outofthefreezer
Isaac was pack. He was the first person in The City Peter recognized as a werewolf. Initially they had a brief altercation that went no further than bright eyes and half a growl, and after that they were also friends. They met under the fullmoon, and had mock-fights. Peter never talked with anyone about it, but he missed him when he left.

Stiles Stilinski
♕ Teen Wolf
studmuffin
Stiles is one of Peter's best friends in the entire City. They talk when they need to, sometimes they just go drinking together and harass the hot bartender. They also have a special spot in the woods which is always stocked with odds and ends of strong liquor -- sometimes you need alcohol to be able to get to where you can talk about the problems that matter. Stiles is part of how Peter learned to fight for the people he cares about. Peter considers Stiles pack because when they first met, the kid was dating Derek. The two have been rather on-again-off-again, but Peter totally ships it.
Scott McCall
♕ Teen Wolf
affectioning
Scott is pack. He's the other Alpha. He was... in a weird threeway relationship with Isaac and Allison (it's like he told your mother, Scott: that way lies fucking pain). He cares about Scott, he's just never clicked as well as he did with Derek. Although after Isaac and Allison both vanished, he was definitely worried for him.

Remus Lupin
♕ Harry Potter
mapmaker
He's a very different sort of wolf from either Peter or the rest of the wolves here; he's locked up on the full moon for the safety or others and his own. He's a nice kid, and Peter will never say it, but the reason he's not as close to Remus is because he makes him think of poor, poor Christina.
Melissa McCall
♕ Teen Wolf
mamanurse
Pack by virtue of being Scott's mother. He only really met her once, when he walked into the hospital with glass shards in his hand, but she was warm, if exasperated. He liked her. He wished that she had stayed.

Jackson Whittmore
♕ Teen Wolf
bigkanimaoncampus
Can he just punch him once more? But, no, seriously. Jackson is only pack because he's a wolf, and Derek says he's from back home. So, sure, he'll keep an eye out for him. That doesn't mean he has to like him.

Friends

Lydia Martin
♕ Teen Wolf
lefthandedgenius
She isn't pack, but that makes their friendship mean even more to him. Of all the people he's met, of anyone he's ever known in his life, Lydia is the person with whom he lets down his walls the most. When he's hurt, when he doesn't know what to think or how to feel, he knocks on her door. He gives her massages and she does his hair. There isn't a force in the world he wouldn't try to protect her from, and that includes both Peter Hale and Jackson. But at the same time, he's very aware that she's very much her own person and in most cases perfectly capable of taking care of herself, thank you. Not even gonna lie -- sometimes she scares him.
Julie Grigio
♕ Warm Bodies
grigio
Julie is one of Peter's closest friends. She's not the person he confesses his feelings to, but that's what he needs sometimes. Just somewhere he can be and make dumb jokes and laugh at stupid movies and forget everything else for a while. She's sort of the sister that he never had.

Ginny Weasley
♕ Harry Potter
hexuality
Ginny's cute and a trouble-maker and is open about using magic, so of course she caught his attention. She made him a protection charm like Destiny had given him once, and after that they checked on each other every so often and hung out for butterbeer and stories.

Acquaintances

Mae Crawford
♕ The Devil's Lexicon
brobeforehos
They've talked briefly, and Peter likes her well enough. However, he mostly knows about Mae as Stiles' bff, but that sort of endorsement goes a long way. If she ever needs help, chances are, he'd probably be there, even if he was kicking himself for it.
Korra (and Naga)
♕ The Legend of Korra
anatural
Peter met Korra fairly recently helping her out when Naga was sick and she needed help getting him to the animal clinic. She seems like a nice girl with a good head on her shoulders. He isn't entirely sure what to make of Naga, but they seem interesting, if nothing else.

Rain
♕ Original Character
livingmyths
Rain is a... strange girl, to put it mildly. But, she taught Peter his way around the greenhouse, and she seems harmless, maybe a bit lonely, if anything. It gives him an excuse to do tricks and showoff, not that he's ever lacking those.
Jesse Pinkman
♕ Breaking Bad
theblowfish
When Jesse showed up, Peter gave him a joint and a pack of smokes. They've pretty much been casual friends since.

Rose Tyler
♕ Doctor Who
missrosetyler
He met her as part of his payment for Roman's car. Sweet enough girl, the Brit accent amuses him, and she taught him that he sucks at running a shop.
Allison Argent
♕ Teen Wolf
N/A
He's actually never met her except in passing. But, he knows that Scott and Isaac and Lydia all cared for her and that's enough that he'd like to get to know her.

Ivan Raikov
♕ Metal Gear Solid 3
majorcrotchgrab
Only passing acquaintance; he helped him move into a new apartment as part of paying off his debt.
The Hatter/Belial
♕ Angel Sanctuary
indecent_butterfly
A very very strange customer. They promised Peter an invitation to a New Years party that he never recieved. He'd still waiting, dammit.

Erica Reyes
♕ Teen Wolf
invulnerated
Brief interaction during a 4th wall event; he knows her face an, uh, yeah. All of her is beautiful. Wow.
Dean Winchester
♕ Supernatural
67chevyimpala
Apparently he's like an older brother to Julie. They've never met, but he's glad there's someone else looking after her.


People Peter Doesn't like

Luke Valentine
♕ Hellsing
valentineluke
Peter hasn't liked him since the first time they spoke on the network. There's just something off about Luke, a feeling in his Swadisthana. But, more than anything, he doesn't like the man's interest in Roman. He'd never admit that he's trying to protect Roman, but the last thing he wants is someone dragging Roman toward his darker urges.

    Canon Character Section:
    History: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hemlock_Grove

    Personality:

    “...men do become wolves and if you have the privilege to be witness to such a transformation it is the most natural and right thing you have ever seen.”

    Peter is a teenage boy with an excessively lax parental influence, no stable home, and he likes it that way. The Rumanceks are different from the demographic, they're poorer, they're Romani (despite being half-Italian), and all of these combine to make them outcasts in the depressed, white bread town of Hemlock Grove. Peter, however, while attuned to the dichotomy of have and have-not, continually sees himself as the wealthy one. He might be a thief (of items too small to really be considered stealing), he might have to scramble for pocket change, but he is rich in life experiences that the small town people with their closed mindedness can never imagine. Also, he's a werewolf, which is about the coolest thing in the world, for your information.

    Peter is charming, he's a showman with a long line of useless skills, stage magic tricks and quick fingers to ensnare people's attention, but he is never well-liked, even before the murders. He finds companionship among other outcasts, until rumor and speculation eventually deprive him of that as well. He describes the people he sat with at lunch as “the kids who wore dog collars and misquoted the Existentialists”, and the closest contact he has is a girl that leaves him voice messages that are nothing but breathy moaning. He still never has a friend, a point that is repeated and driven home when he befriends the upir Roman Godfrey, almost against his will.

    He abhors emotional connections, doing his best to avoid them like the plague that he considers them. A hard truth is that he has never needed someone as much as they need him. He has a constant fear of being put in a cage. Which is both literal, and figurative. He's a werewolf, and he seems at least passingly aware of hunters, of being locked up, imprisoned. He's scared of other peoples' needs, of having to deal with people in an emotional context, of having people's feelings pressed upon him. This is not just inclusive of the people he has the closest connections with, but almost typifies their interactions – trying to hold him down, while Peter has at least one foot out the door.

    He has a very evolved “hierarchy of shit he can do without”. And that amounts to, quite honestly, just about everything that doesn't directly affect him. He is dragged, digging in his heels, to dealing with the vargulf that's killing people, and to emotional attachment to both Roman and Letha. Cousins and pretty much ticking time bombs of privilege who are so far removed from his world that neither of them will ever understand the things he fears. One of his initial reactions to Roman comes in an attempt at glibness to push the other teen away, an admitted discomfort of emotional intimacy and a fear of the other boy's needs that ends with the sentiment that he “wouldn't touch that with your dick”. But, he finds himself caught in a no-win situation. They either become the warriors that Roman so desperately craves, or Peter risks the hunter sniffing at his trail, and faces the rumors about the fact that he's a werewolf. He describes it as “a choice between being fucked in the ass or fucked in the mouth”.

    And yet, after the dust settles, the vargulf is gone, Roman asks him how he wasn't scared. Peter's response is that he was terrified, that he couldn't have done it without him. There isn't really one moment that defines when the relationship turns; it's a combination of moments. It's shared cigarettes, and jibes they both toss that around, it's shared dreams and the fact that when Peter pushes him away that Roman keeps coming back no matter how badly he fucks up. Peter might have a foot out the door, but Roman keeps pulling him back. It's something they can't resist, and it's hinted that Peter walks away a lot, given how Roman talks about expecting him to come back again when Peter breaks things off between them. It's clear that he really does care about Roman, because at the Mill, he has a realization that the place isn't good for Roman and then he needs to get him out. Of course, things with those two never go quite so simply.

    The ties that bind him to Letha are different, but no less complex. Peter might not love Letha, but by the time she dies, he definitely feels something for her. Initially, their interaction is a way to get to her father, who has information that might relate to the vargulf, as well as about Roman's mother Olivia, who Peter is guardedly cautious about. After cutting things off with Roman, Letha more or less pushes herself on him and they have sex, but this isn't what manages to tie her to him. It's moments where she becomes more than the silly girl that talks about angels, such as when she literally throws herself on him when he's getting beaten up by the boys at school to protect him, when she so desperately wants to stop the deputies that are planning to kill him, when she holds his wolf after he fights with the vargulf. He can see that she is full of love and light and life, and as much as Roman, she refuses to let go of the boy that doesn't feel like she does.

    And then she's dead and gone, and it rips him apart, destroys his ability to hold onto what stability he'd managed to find, even if his natural inclinations would eventually have driven him from it. He's depressed, he eats less, and his last connection is with a passing dog in a car, sharing a silent howl.

    Persistence wins the day when it comes to Peter, friendship or otherwise; he tries to avoid confrontations where possible, so the right person seems to be able to get under his skin no matter how much he sees attachment as its own sort of cage. Tied into this, is the fact that Peter hates violence. Both in general, but especially when it's directed at him. This isn't just part of his personality, it's also biological. He has “abnormally low levels of adrenal glucocorticoid, indicating that the animal ... is by nature non-aggressive”. However, this doesn't mean he wont fight. He understands necessity, he knows when violence is the only choice. And it might absolutely terrify him, but when the cards are down, he'll be there. If he has to. He has little faith in his own propensity toward courage, however.

    But, when things aren't do-or-die, he's mostly an exceptionally poorly behaved teenager. He's a pervert, he listens to people having sex in the bathroom, reads 'tits and motorcycle' magazines in the cafeteria, he reads dorky comics and makes fun of Twilight, and he drinks as if he doesn't even recognize that he's underage. He also seems to have little respect or acknowledgment for the things that public school values as education. Norman describes it as “Peter was a different breed. He was not our neighbor. He did not want the things we wanted.” At the end of the day, Peter is a gypsy, and a werewolf, and he'd see two left shoes as far more useful than any white picket fence.

    “You can play Mr. Big Stuff but I've seen you cry your eyes out when Nicolae said the utility guy was Leatherface.”


    Powers/Abilities:
    Peter walks in the skin of a wolf. He's a werewolf. On the full moon, his change seems to occur at sunset rather than when the full moon reaches its apex. The earth calls him by his secret name, and it forces him to change. This is not a pleasant or pretty process. He literally sheds his skin, in a show of blood and gore, with the wolf crawling out from inside of him. He eats the remnants of his own body, and is physically reborn when he shifts back at dawn. The only way to actually kill a werewolf permanently, seems to be to cut off their head. The fangs of a werewolf are said to be of exaggerated size and curvature, and that when the jaws of a werewolf close, there isn't a force on Earth that can escape them.

    In human form, he has enhanced senses, but no additional physical prowess. He bruises as easily as anyone else, but any physical injuries do not last past his turn as he literally devours his own body. He's also been shown to be able to share dreams with certain people.

    The wolf Peter shifts into is midnight black with gold eyes, and is significantly larger than a normal wolf and seems to possess increased physical prowess as well. At the canon point he's from, he can shift against the moon, although it's a no-less grizzly process. Shifting back to human leaves him exhausted most times, and he has about enough energy to crawl back into bed.

    He has an exceptionally receptive Swadisthana chakra, which is said to give him access to that “secret, sacred frequency of the universe”. This seems to mostly translate out into a bad feeling, intuition that he perceives as agitation in his balls when something bad is happening / going to happen / has happened, mostly for him personally. Through it, he has a connection to the earth, such as allows him to figure out the site in the park where the girl was murdered. It also allows him to recognize other supernaturals most of the time.


    Appearance:
    Here. Except his hair has grown out; just past his shoulders and usually in a ponytail.

    How has your character changed from their canon self? The short version is that he's better adjusted than he was at his canon point. He's still a bit weird about relationships, but he has slowly worked out a relationship with Roman, to the point where he's admitted that he loves him to Stiles and Lydia, although not to Roman himself. He does, however, manage to show it in actions. He has several friends that he's slowly learned to confide in; most notable being Derek, Lydia and Stiles. He still thinks feelings are kind of bullshit, but he doesn't entirely run away from them anymore.

    Are they gaining any abilities from their time in game? Did the game setting take something from them?
    Nope~
