• 04 March 2007 - After weeks of little to no physical human contact, Elle makes a return visit, a rather changed woman in I Missed You Too. He discovers his brother's miraculous condition, gains a photograph for his own keeping, which is now hidden under the pillow. And unknown to him, she swapped out his "Haitian Pills" with a placebo, harmless vitamins. On the same day, elsewhere in the city, Molly reaches out to find the Glowing Man from Kirby Plaza for Claire.
• 05 March 2007 - Day 2 on the placebo pills. For a change he now has reading material, an old copy of The Wonderful Wizard of Oz. Elle's visit also earns him the nickname of James Bond.
• 06 March 2007 - The plan is afoot! The Plan to Save Peter Petrelli that is. Hiro, Nathan and their new acquaintances meet up to decide whether or not to attempt to take the "most powerful" (and difficult to control) Evolved out of Company hands. Also, Day 3 without the Haitian Pills.
• 07 March 2007 - Day 4 off the Haitian Pills, and a meaningful exchange lead to the decision to stop taking the Haitian Pills, and to try to escape, but not without a few things first.
• 08 March 2007 - No Elle. Peter doesn't take the pills that are brought to him, though makes it look like he did. Day 5 off the Pills. He's definitely getting his powers back, though he avoids trying them out. Not using them may be the first step in controlling them, after all.
• 09 March 2007 - Still no sign of Elle. Day 6 off the Haitian Pills.
• 10 March 2007 - Elle returns for an evacuation. Moved from his cell and put in another. Day 7 off the Haitian Pills, and news of a rescue attempt leaks in as the reason for the sudden movements. With prior warning, and a serious Betrayal, the rescue attempt fails. At least partly. Elle sets Peter free, and knocking her unconscious and carrying her out with him, he manages to escape, at the cost of his brother, Hiro Nakamura, Jane, and the previously captured Eliana. They decide to regroup at the Petrelli Mansion, where Peter coincidentally runs into Sylar stalking his niece. When Noah and the Haitian show up, he decides to split for a hotel, but not before being briefly reunited with his mother, and having a reunion with newly rescued niece.
• 11 March 2007 - Elle and Peter stayed the night in a hotel. After waking up and doing something about Peter's state of bloodied attire they get something to eat, buy some disposable cellphones and start making a plan to find out what happened to his brother and anyone who went to help him, and also work on a plan to stay out of the Company's hands. The entire thing takes at least two days to get settled into place.
• 12 March 2007 - Still trying to figure out what's going on with the Company and the rescue attempt, as well as laying low, the two briefly split up, and Peter takes a break at Starbucks for his first espresso in months. It would seem destiny chose an interesting time for him to walk into Starbucks. Completed in The Red Thread of Fate Part Two.
• 13 March 2007 - Elle has an idea to go visit Mohinder Suresh's apartment, to meet a young girl named Molly who specializes in finding people. With her help, Peter discovers that his brother is actually at home now and Hiro is held in Kirby Plaza (though unknown to him, soon to be released).
• 14 March 2007 - Nathan takes Peter by his apartment to pick up some clothes, and he meets Jane in East Village playing guitar. Guilt ensues.
• 15 March 2007 - Peter goes to visit Claire finally to explain the situation and just happens to meet up with her boyfriend outside the hotel. She gets her explanation of where he's been.
• 16 March 2007 - Peter Petrelli and Hiro Nakamura finally meet properly. Peter receives photographs of the Isaac's paintings. Peter and Elle go out to Starbucks and discover that half of Manhattan seems to know his name. Afterwards, they return home to cement their relationship after she introduces him as her boyfriend again.
• 17 March 2007 - Morning after, Peter's making breakfast for Elle and has a long talk with his brother, that forces him to reheat his lovingly cooked hash browns.

• 23 March 2007 - By a stroke of coincidence, Peter happens to be walking under a building that a certain woman falls out of. The woman taking the Swan Dive would be none other than Niki Sanders. Who he then takes home to bandage her up, where they meet up with his brother.
• 24 March 2007 - Visiting Mara at the hospital with his brother Nathan, they play a game of Monopoly, in which Peter certainly does not cheat!. Though he does discover his brother's indiscretion. And is not pleased. Later, he takes Elle on her First Date Ever.
• 25 March 2007 - Peter and Elle wake up the morning after their date and decide… they need a Plan. Peter stops by Kirby Plaza to watch the building, and meets an agent who thinks he's a Tool. Then he stops by Mara's hospital room for a visit and a game of Monopoly, only to be there to witness the entire world turning upside down. Many, many, many frantic phone calls follow.
• 27 March 2007 - Jane takes an overwhelming initiative, which might come back to bite them all later. But at least they're passing information around…

• 30 March 2007 - Peter and Elle finally go to see her father, Mr. Bishop, Boss of the Company about… their plan. A lot of people are not going to like their plan. Though surprisingly, his lawyers actually approve... sort of.
• 31 March 2007 - Eventful day! Peter visits Mara with breakfast again, hoping to give her a glimmer of hope. Afterwards, he stops into the infamous bookstore, Enlightenment Books, and is very vague with those he speaks to there. Not too long after, he visits the bookstore again, only to shake things up a bit when he absorbs a new ability for the first time. Finally, he goes drinking with his brother and they have a rather engaging conversation, mostly about his brother's love life.

• 01 May 2007 - Peter receives his second training lesson from Cass, this time on Object Relocation. It involves calling a pistol to his hand. A lot. Later in the day, he cooks Elle dinner and they talk about this not perfect world that they live in.
• 03 May 2007 - Heidi Petrelli is kidnapped. Peter, heroic guy that he is, flies in to help without question. He gets shot a bunch of times protecting Elena while Nathan rescues Heidi. The T-1000 shows up just in time to keep Peter from going Sylar on a couple goons. Then they get home and he heals Heidi and Nathan while talking about what Heidi's seen.
• 04 May 2007 - In the early morning hours, Peter fixes Elena's overload and then she has to fix his… Good thing she was around. He'd put himself in a coma. Which makes him a little late seeing his girlfriend… but at least he's recovered! The next morning, Peter gives her a promise ring. Not quite an engagement ring, but definitely more than just a ring. Finally, he takes her by the Petrelli house where she has a verbal sparring match with his brother.
• 05 May 2007 - Stopping by Enlightenment Books, Peter runs into Jessica for the first time and eviscerated. He regenerates and makes his way back inside to talk to the store owner, Cass, and ends up offering to work there. Finally, he calls his girlfriend and tells her the truth and once again gets talked into doing something potentially traitorous to protect everyone.
• 06 May 2007 - Elle tries to get revenge on Jessica. It doesn't go well and Peter gets called over when she decides to take out her frustrations on the door. Unfortunately she also says something that sews the final seeds for Peter's big breakdown.
• 07 May 2007 - Elle and Jane and Peter talk about many things. Like, say… tornadoes, earthquakes, paintings, plans and oh yeah, bugs.
• 09 May 2007 - In another attempt at painting, this time at Elena's, Peter calls upon the spirit of mendez to paint something not completely gloom and doom, except for a young Catholic girl's reputation and sense of shame.
• 10 May 2007 - Elle walks into a bar. Elle sees Jessica. Badness happens. Peter shows up to heal her, and ban her from high heels for a while. Unfortunately…

• 12 May 2007 - After over a month of being gone, Mara returns. The two exchange some well overdue words. After that… Peter and Nathan have a talk they should have had weeks ago. A talk over two bottles of gin. Breakdown? Happens. The reason for much of Peter's tension finally comes clear. And it's not because he's cheating (cause he's not). He tries his best to explain the trouble of mourning someone who's still there.
• 13 May 2007 - Peter avoids Elle the next morning, saying he needs time to think. When he gets back to his apartment, he finds a note— or at least a card— from Elena which knocks him out. Heidi finds him unconscious on his couch. They share good news and bad news with each other.
• 15 May 2007 - After spending most of the 14th by himself, Peter fails to sleep well, so at 4am he heads over to Elle's place in hopes of sneaking in to join her. She's actually awake when he arrives. And after sleeping with his girlfriend (NO SEX HAPPENS), he finally feels able to go to work and help with shelving books.
• 16 May 2007 - Still no contact with some people, but Peter goes home to his apartment to find Mara AND Heidi. Chaos ensues. The aftermath includes much chaos theory and alcohol, at least for Peter and Nathan.
• 17 May 2007 - Morning after getting into drunken trouble, Nathan calls Peter to bail him out because Peter is better than an ambulance. That night, while Peter has nightmares, someone ninja's into his home to wake him up, and it's someone he's glad to have committed a felony just to see him.
• 18 May 2007 - Feeling a little better physically, mentally and emotionally, Peter stops by to see his girlfriend when she fails to answer her phone. Somehow he ends up watching Legally Blonde with a couple girls. That's okay, though. It brought up a conversation of Elle in a bunny suit. Not that it's something he wants.
• 20 May 2007 - The Bunny Suit costume seems to have weird implications. Just like the white rabbit brought Neo towards the truth, Elle appears at his door dressed as Trinity from the Matrix. The two go out that night to clubs dressed up as if they were the characters in the movie.
• 22 May 2007 - Peter calls Elena over for an important conversation he'd been holding off on for a while. He breaks a confidence and finds out a few important things, but most importantly… he tries his best to explain to her that he just wants to be there for her. Even with all the "being there", he goes to talk to Bob Bishop by himself. Two words. Train Wreck.
• 23 May 2007 - Peter takes Elle to Coney Island for a date. He video tapes the new memories that they both get to partake in.

• 24 May 2007 - Peter is working at the bookstore when Cass runs in to tell him he has to come see this… and he finds Elena dressed as a chicken. Hilarity follows. And then he takes Heidi, who happened to be talking to CluckCluck, back home and they catch up finally.
• 25 May 2007 - In a typical act of heroism, Peter exhausts himself into a coma trying to save the life of his boss. This coma lasted a week.

• 04 June 2007 - After being out of the hospital, Peter's got some gift giving for the people who sat as his bed side. He starts with Mara and a gift of a bottle of schnapps. All is not as it seems.
• 05 June 2007 - In the second stage of gift giving, Peter stops in at Jane and Elle's apartment to try and catch both the girls for their presents. A bottle of Merlot goes to Jane, but Elle is nowhere to be seen. After witnessing a suddenly immodest Jane, he stops in at the Gomez residence to give a music box to Elena and meets Manny again. And misunderstandings lead to witnessing Manny's power first hand. Then he shows pictures and shares stories with Elena. After that, he stops in to see his girlfriend and feels a little better, especially when she dresses up as Slave-girl Princess Leia for him.

• 09 June 2007 - For the first time since his death last month, Peter runs into Niki. The two have a long conversation in which he not only forgives her for what her counterpart did, but he explains how he could possibly understand what she's going through concerning that.
• 10 June 2007 - When in trouble, call Peter Petrelli. Seems to be what Jane does at least! Works pretty well for her, but it was a shame that he had to get a look at his girlfriend's roomate naked. But, he tells her to put her clothes on. And warns a rogue persuasionist that she's not the biggest bully on the block.
• 12 June 2007 - Peter stops in to see Cass at the hospital and talk to her. They also renew their training only to find out that a single heal can make Peter faint.
• 13 June 2007 - While making cookies with Heidi and the boys, Peter answers the door only to find Elena there. Chaos occures as Elena finds herself swarmed by many Petrellis.
• 15 June 2007 - Peter answers the door only to find Elena's dad there. He's asked for help, and agrees to meet the older man at his place at seven o'clock tomorrow. He failed to mention he was going to the Zoo later with the man's own daughter, as she's assisting in a joint babysitting adventure. The Zoo trip turns dangerous when a rhino gets released. Afterwards, Peter makes sure the boys get home safely and has a long conversation with his babysitter in crime.
• 16 June 2007 - The start of a very long day. At seven in the morning, Peter meets Mr. Gomez at his apartment and heads off to protect Desiree and Cass with invisibility while they check out the apartment of a murderer. Things turn strange when they find files. When they get back to the Gomez's, there's a lot of talking and use of a certain ability that leaves Peter out of the conversation for quite some time.
• 20 June 2007 - For the last few days Peter's been busy between the boys at the Petrelli Mansion and work. While working, he runs into Portia again and they talk, and he makes an offer where she could play at the store while he works if she wishes (course he should make sure it's okay with the boss, but he's taking it for granted).
• 21 June 2007 - Coming home from work Peter attempts to cheer Heidi up, but ends up drawing a future that's not so bright.
• 22 June 2007 - After the call the previous day, Peter meets up with Elena about the files from Mount Sinai and they are exchanged for safe keeping.
• 26 June 2007 - A long time coming, Peter and Cass meet up for a lesson, and then have a long, long talk. About things. Peter decides he needs to end his relationship with Elle. Only the way he'll need to do this may go against his very moral fiber.
• 27 June 2007 - After dealing with a few things, Peter goes to the Den of Intiquity to drink and talk to the bartender. A bad day gets worse as he learns that Sylar's back to stalking Mara. But he drinks a lot.
• 28 June 2007 - Just after midnight, Peter calls Elena while drunk and tells her what he never got around to telling Jack and Mara… that he broke up with Elle and used the newly practiced persuasion to make her okay with it. She takes him home and… things occur that complicate their relationship. Later that day, after sleeping off the worst hangover he's ever had, he gets home to hear that his brother has returned home. He calls Elena, and it's revealed that he doesn't remember a thing about the night before, at least not after he left Jack's place.
• 29 June 2007 - That morning, Peter ends up cooking breakfast for Heidi and Nathan while he talks to his brother about a few things, specifically psychokillers. Later that day, Heidi finds him hiding out in the upstairs study and the two of them talk about certain things, especially cheating.
• 30 June 2007 - The whole cheating conversation comes up again, but in a very different light. For one, Peter finds out that he actually kissed Elena while drunk, something he feels ill over. And then her Not-Uncle (Nuncle) says he thinks she likes him. And then gives him a green light to date her, despite his age and all other obstacles. Not that he will, so soon after breaking up with his girlfriend, but it's still nice to talk about it.

• 01 July 2007 - Heidi asks Peter to attempt persuasion on her to test out Ramon's defense. Afterwards, he suggests healing Monty and telling the boys about him, at least that he can heal. With the potential for backlash, he still steps into the lion's den and tells Monty, and later Simon as well. The exact details of what he told them will be posted shortly!
• 05 July 2007 - Peter goes with Nathan for a speech with the intention of talking to him about Simon and Monty, but instead… gets hit by a car. It's a long story.
• 07 July 2007 - Early morning, just after midnight, Peter gets awoken to an announcement of something bad happening with Elena's abilities and rushes off to see her to make sure she's okay. Those headaches she promised to get looked into aren't gone, and what caused the problem triggers again. All his normal restraints fall away for a time… As the day progresses, Peter gets little in the way of sleep, goes to work, then runs into Niki by accident when he's on his way to maybe see Elena. Plans form to help Niki with her Jessica problem. Afterwards, he drops by Cass' place in time for what he thinks is an emergency. It's just Lachlan coming home and scaring poor Cass into crying RAPE.
• 08 July 2007 - Carter finally makes his move. Peter's present when Elena's commands activate and she runs away. He briefly meets Jack's girlfriend, but of all of them present, she's the one most injured.
• 09 July 2007 - 1:00am. After staying a few hours at the hospital to check on Trina and Manny (who was also injured in another location), the small army set off for Syracuse when they find out that's where Elena is. 4:30am. They rescue Elena and get Carter. 8:00am. It's back to normal. Only how does someone return to normal after they hunt down and kill someone?
• 12 July 2007 - After days of rest, the boys drag Peter and Heidi off to Transformers. When they get home, the two siblings-in-law sit down for a long overdue conversation. After said conversation with Heidi, Peter drops in to talk to Mara about finding a little girl (or the man who currently is looking after her) and finds out that Sylar visited. He ends up taking Mara back to his apartment and letting her stay the night for her protection.
• 13 July 2007 - A phonecall from Jane finally gets returned and he goes to talk to the roommate of his now ex-girlfriend. The guilt is still pretty deep. He also finds out that apparently all men are cheating bastards, including himself. A brief stop at the hospital to see Manny leads to Peter meeting a lot of the Gomez family… and unknown to anyone there they almost throw him straight into overload. Those silly Gomezes. Oh yeah. Peter asks Elena out on a date-that-isn't-a-date.
• 14 July 2007 - Remember that date-that-isn't-a-date? Peter has to buy a television and DVD player for it. So he does. And then he invites Nathan over to help him set up. And to talk. And apparently to build a remote that changes street lights out of common household items. Peter's life is a weird life. Not too long afterwards, Mara stops by to answer his request, and earns a nickname of Kaydeedid in an attempt to make her smile. Even after she makes him angry with a test. And then there's the issue of a phonecall that he completely forgot to make to Niki Sanders.
• 16 July 2007 - The date-that-isn't-a-date happens and actually goes pretty well. They even make plans for a later movie night, and she stays the night in a completely innocent and totally clothed way. NO DORKING. (This is for Jack)
• 17 July 2007 - The morning after the date-that-wasn't-a-date. There's a phone call. A fight. And Peter blows up his balcony. In that order. Afterwards, while waiting for the repair guys, a certain former Detective stops by to give him some information. The less he knows the better? Actually not quite true. As he's already in a high strung mood, now wasn't the best time to even drop a hint into his lap. And it causes issues when he shows up for the planned assistance with Niki. In short, it involves a lot of getting tossed into walls. Peter has a very bad day. And may end up to be the only one who remembers the last scene at least.
• 18 July 2007 - Peter calls a repair guy to replace the doors on his apartment's balcony finally, and the man gets to work. In the meantime, Jane stops by and tells Peter about an incident in East Village a month ago that he hadn't heard of. She's going to drop off something for him to attempt to get a vision off later. And then he calls Niki, and ends up asking her out for dinner, where he'll introduce two concepts, another plan, as it were. The first, that they should do the "mind reading" thing with just the two of them, and second, that they should do the training at the rooftop of the Deveaux Building.

Abilities

(Click to display Full list of Abilities and Stunts.)

(Click to hide Full list of Abilities and Stunts.)

Through emotional connections to people he meets, Peter quite literally absorbs the abilities of other Evolved humans, gaining the ability to manifest those powers as if they were his own. The length of contact with the person doesn't seem to be a factor, but the physical proximity should be closer than twenty meters, at least; as close as two meters might even be required in most cases. Also, a good amount of the time, he'll need to see the ability demonstrated before he can mimic or recall it. Sometimes he'll mimic or recall an ability with no idea what it actually is, or even who it came from in some cases. That's pretty rare, though.

Using an ability in the presence of the person who actually had that ability comes easier to him than using it on his own. On his own, he tends to need to think of the person, or most importantly, remember how they made him feel while he was around them. The exact memory isn't required, as he can use the abilities he gets whether he actually remembers the person or not, but the way he feels must be in tune with how he felt at the time. In some ways he can actually try too hard to use an ability and will constantly fail, because he fails to recall the exact emotion necessary.

The amount of powers he can store is unknown; however, should he meet a wide variety of Evolved in a short amount of time, his body will begin to shut down. The same happens if he uses too many abilities at once, or in too close a succession. The effect causes flu-like or more accurately, withdrawl-like symptoms. Sweating and a fever at the same time, inability to walk steadily, trouble breathing and general fatigue. While in this state, he can only absorb the abilities of others around him, and has a chance of putting him into a coma, where he'll suffer from a persistent idiopathic fever — basically a fever of unknown origin — and will require assistance breathing and to survive. The length of the coma depends on the level of the overload.

Stunts will only be added if he successfully absorbs the ability and takes a little time to figure it out. Helps if he spends a lot of time with the person and practices with them.

NOTE ON OVERLOAD

Each use of power counts towards Overload. Overload allows him to use 4 stunts freely before he needs to roll STAMINA with each new use or new ABSORPTION. If he rolls below AVERAGE on stamina he begins applying penatlies to everything he rolls. If he rolls a POOR on STAMINA when trying to use any stunt at all he will pass out and go into a coma where he can not do anything at all

• Absorption
  • ABSORPTION - Within close vicinity to an Evolved person Peter can absorb and utilize their ability. It may be used once per scene on each Evolved target. Above AVERAGE means he absorbs the ability for later use. AVERAGE means he may use the power in their presense but will not retain the power. Below AVERAGE means he does not get anything. He will have little control over any ability he absorbs until it has it's own stunt. He can roll this each time he meets an Evolved until he suceeds.
• Animal Telepathy : A power recently absorbed from Daphne Rousseau. This would allow him to telepathically communicate with most animal breeds, especially avian or mammal. Very limited usage due to the lack of a stunt for it.
• Atomic Transmutation : A power absorbed from Bob Bishop. It allows him to turn touched objects into gold. Limited usage, control currently limited to NOT using it, as opposed to using it. Does not have a stunt, so lacks normal use.
• Biochemical Manipulation : The ability to manipulate the biochemicals of living beings, for good or bad effect.
  • ELENA - With tactile contact Peter only needs to roll an AVERAGE or higher to suceed. Effect greater the higher he rolls. A GREAT or higher is required for non-tactile contact and he still must be able to see the person he's trying to affect. Currently limited to a single target at a time. STAMINA may be rolled to defend against negative effects.
• Electrokinesis : The ability to generate and control bursts of electricity.
  • ELLE - An AVERAGE is needed for tactile bursts of electricity passed from skin to skin contact. STAMINA may be used to resist the stunning effect. He must achieve physical contact first. For a thrown burst he needs to roll a GOOD or higher a roll to dodge may be used to counter.
• Flight : The ability to fly. This flight can reach high speeds, and he's capable of carrying one other full grown man. It can also be used to float or walk on thin air.
  • NATHAN - By himself Peter needs a GOOD to manage. A MEDIOCRE may allow him to walk on air or hover briefly. When flying to rescue another person his determination to save them lowers the difficulty of the roll. He only requires an MEDIOCRE to fly to save someone's life.
• Healing : Trauma based healing. This ability will only heal injuries and wounds, the worse they are, the harder they are to heal. Will not heal diseases or illnesses.
  • BEKAH - Trauma based injuries only. His power with this is fairly limited at the moment. Every step above MEDIOCRE allows him to heal up to a single point of damage. AVERAGE is 1. GOOD is 2. And so on. He can only successfully use this ability once per target right now. He can heal someone better but the difference from the last heal will only be added. He can't get AVERAGE twice and heal two points. But he can heal two points all together if he got an AVERAGE first and then a GOOD later. If he tries to heal over 2 points of damage he has to immediately roll STAMINA and achieve an AVERAGE or higher to keep from fainting.
• Induced Radioactivity : Induced radioactivity. It allows Peter to become a walking nuclear bomb, capable of wide scale mass destruction. Or capable of very small destruction, and radiation poisoning. He has not yet mastered use of this power.
  • TED - When he consciously calls this power up he must make a roll. The roll does not determine the power of the blast and more his control over it. A GREAT would actually allow him a single controled burst around his hands to destroy a small object. Anything less than AVERAGE would indicate a loss of control and he might be unable to shut it down on his own. Staff supervision only due to possibility of mass destruction.
• Invisibility : The ability to become invisible to normal sight. Heat-sensors can see through this automatically, and it only wipes out sight, not the other senses, so perceiving someone invisible is still possible.
  • CLAUDE - As one of his better abilities he only requires a MEDIOCRE to activate. This may extend to one other touched person. PERCEPTION may be able to "see" through invisibility depending on how much noise he's making and how much ambient noise is around.
• Linguistic Remapping : Absorbed from Natalie, this ability will allow Peter to spontaneously learn languages, or teach and remove languages from others. This ability does not have it's own stunt, so will only ever appear uncontrolled and without meaning. Can have negative side effects such as rendering someone illiterate or unable to speak or comprehend.
• Object Relocation : The relocation of small objects.
  • JACK - Peter has to achieve GOOD or higher to call an extremely specific object into his hand. As teleportation this ability actually moves a physical object from one place to another and he must know where it is or where it is going. The objects can not be more than 18 cubic inches or 7 pounds.
• Persuasion : The ability to persuade someone with his voice.
  • LYNDSAY - In order to persuade people with his voice Peter must roll versus the opponents WILLPOWER. They must be physically able to hear his voice. If he beats the roll by 1 point they will do as commanded but may hesitate and will be aware of the persuasion. If he beats them by 2 or more they will do as commanded but will have no rationalization for why they followed. If he beats them by 3 ranks or more they rationalize why they did it on their own and do not remember the command at all.
• Precognition : This Precognition Ability allows for creation of future-seeing paintings. For Peter, this can take three forms. Stick figure drawings, more passable likeness sketches, or full possession of self where he paints as well as Isaac could. In the last one his eyes will go dead and he would be difficult to stop, and unable to be reached.
  • ISAAC - Painting the Future. An AVERAGE will allow for crude stick figures that may not be recognizable at all. A GOOD may have a passable likeness sketches. It takes a roll of GREAT to allow him to paint as if possessed. High level painting is for TP use only.
• Psychometry : The ability to read the past of an object and experience events and strong emotions connected with it.
  • MARA - Using this ability to read the past of an object with touch will cause Peter to pass out. The length of time in which he passes out depends on his roll. POOR will put him into a temporary coma for about two hours. MEDIOCRE for an hour. AVERAGE for about thirty minutes. GOOD for fifteen minutes. GREAT would mean he only blacks out for about a few minutes. SUPERB actually allows him to retain consciousness while he experiences the vision.
• Regeneration : Cellular Regeneration. A passive ability triggered by damage as much as anything else, it heals nearly any wound. Except perhaps some head wounds. Does not necessarily grant immunity to diseases or poisons, though it may help them run their course quicker.
  • CLAIRE - Should he achieve POOR regeneration will take one pose round for each point of damage and he will be unable to do anything else if the damage is over 3 points. Afterwards he will be at a penalty for an equal amount of rounds. With MEDIOCRE he can move around while healing but do no other activities if the damage is over 3 points. Afterwards he will have a penalty for the rounds equal to how much he healed. AVERAGE he can roll other things besides move halfway into healing — 2 rounds in if he's healing 4 points of damage — if the damage is over three and apply a penalty for the remainder of the rounds of healing. GOOD will allow him to do other things immediately with a penalty applied the amount of rounds equal to the damage he took. GREAT will allow him to do things after half the rounds of healing at a penalty. SUPERB has one round of penalties only as long as he survived the initial damage.
• Size Manipulation : A physical growth-related power gained from Pamela Hall. This power allows Peter to increase his physical mass, strength and stamina for a limited time, though it has a rather unpleasant side effect… of leaving him naked. This power does not have it's own stunt.
• Super Strength : A physical boost in Strength. Does not require the physical mass, and also grants basic resistance to its own exertion.
  • NIKI - Higher than AVERAGE allows him to enhance his strength. Each step above AVERAGE increases all STRENGTH checks by a step. GOOD is +1. GREAT is +2. SUPERB is +3.
• Technological Intuition : Absorbed from Gene Jack Kensington, this power would allow Peter a greater understanding of technology. As he's not the most technologically inclined person on the planet, though, this mostly has allowed him to suddenly understand his cellphone directory and have a lot better understanding of email. Likely never to have it's own stunt.
• Telekinesis : The power to move things with the mind. It can be a single object or multiple objects, and can move various weights and sizes. Gestures tend to be needed for activation. The heavier the object, the more likely it will strain him.
  • SYLAR - MEDIOCRE allows for manipulation of light objects less than 50lbs. AVERAGE for medium objects of up to 250lbs. GOOD for heavy objects up to half a ton. GREAT would be upwards into a ton. SUPERB allows for well over a ton. He can manipulate weights over what he rolls but he will strain himself and the object will require all of his attention — leaving him unable to roll for anything else — and will cause him damage due to strain. Targets may attempt to dodge thrown objects with a dodge roll depending on the size of the object and should he attempt to grab someone they may choose to roll STAMINA and any acceptable shinies to resist damage from held. The damage levels of the roll are applied as if a physical attack.
• Telepathy : The ability to hear people's thoughts and send single thoughts in return. Limited to simple telepathy; mind reading scans or sent thoughts.
  • MATT - One of the most taxing abilities. Basic mind reading only requires an AVERAGE. He may use this Mind Reading 5 times before he needs to roll STAMINA. Penalties will begin being applied afterwards and he can exhaust himself to the point of passing out. Besides just Mind Reading he may also do basic thought protection. This requires a GOOD and will allow him to send a short sentance worth of thoughts to a single person within visual contact. He can do this 4 times before rolling stamina and applying penalties.
• Temporal Manipulation : Absorbed from Drake. Has manifested this power only in Drake's presence. Does not have it's own stunt.
• Time-Space Manipulation : The ability to travel through time and space. It has the potential to stop time, slow time, or move through time and space.
  • HIRO - To use this ability to stop time or teleport himself or another touched person a roll of GREAT or higher is needed. Any successful use of this ability will result in a penalty to all rolls until he can rest.
• Ultrasonic Projection and Hearing : Absorbed from Jane. Has only manifested so far in changes in tone of his voice while talking. Does not have it's own stunt.
• Umbrakinesis : Absorbed from Eric. Has only manifested unconsciously as the ability to pull light from the surrounding area and dark-vision. Due to the second one, he is completely unaware of this ability as of yet, and it does not have it's own stunt. Any uses will be uncontrolled.
• Unknown Ability : An ability of unknown origin which allows Peter to have "dreams". May also include something similar to astral projection through time.
  • UNKNOWN - This stunt will need staff to invoke as it's too plot related for general use but requires a roll of UNKNOWN to determine the level of relevence of the dream. This stunt is also used as the stunt for unstunted absorbed powers. In which case it will always be rolled with a penalty or double penalty.

Peter's Chinese Zodiac is The Sheep.

(Click to hide Full list of Abilities and Stunts.)

Sheep are the Good Samaritans of the Chinese zodiac. They are gentle mannered and on the shy side. Being very sincere they are easily taken by a sob story. Sheep people are compassionate, understanding of others' faults, and quick to forgive.

Sheep like to set their own hours and will not tolerate too much discipline. They are also very offended if they are criticized. They cannot work well under pressure and must be allowed to do things at their own speed. Sheep need somebody to discipline them, though, in order to utilize their talents. They usually find someone to look after and care for them.

Good fortune smiles upon the sheep. They benefit from wills and inheritances. Even in the roughest of times, the Sheep always acquire the basic needs. Sheep get their own way without force or violence. They have that passive endurance that drives you mad. Eventually they wear you down with their pleas.You just can't break them!

Sheep never come right out and discuss what's bothering them. You pry it out of them bit by bit. When all else fails, yell at them, and bang things around. They should be impressed and might unfold all their secret woes; then, you can clear the air. The Sheep are family people. They never forget anyone's birthday, and you had better not forget theirs! Sheep worry, too. They want others to cheer them up and tell them everything will be okay.

Sheep overspend and should avoid dealing with money. They find it hard to be practical and would love a life of luxury and ease. Ugly things will depress Sheep. They hate to displease anyone especially their loved ones. They will edge around an issue rather than take a firm stand. Difficulties are a delicate issue with Sheep. They are too sensitive and often overreact. Reassure them often.

Romance is a part of the Sheep's being. Moonlight and roses, soft music and candlelight will get them every time. They tend to view the world through rose-colored glasses. Sheep do not usually have to work hard. Good things just happen naturally. They need bright, airy surroundings and excel in creative fields. Appreciation of their talents make Sheep glow, and with encouragement, they can go far in life.

Peter's Western Zodiac Sign is Capricorn.

(Click to display Profile of a Capricorn.)

(Click to hide Full list of Abilities and Stunts.)

Capricorn is one of the most stable and (mostly) serious of the zodiacal types. These independent, rocklike characters have many sterling qualities. They are normally confident, strong willed and calm. These hardworking, unemotional, shrewd, practical, responsible, persevering, and cautious to the extreme persons, are capable of persisting for as long as is necessary to accomplish a goal they have set for themselves. They are reliable workers in almost any profession they undertake. They are the major finishers of most projects started by the 'pioneering' signs; with firm stick-to-it-ness they quickly become the backbone of any company they work for.

Capricornians make of themselves, resourceful, determined managers; setting high standards for themselves and others. They strive always for honesty in their criticism of self, they respect discipline from above and demand it from those beneath them. In their methodical, tough, stubborn, unyielding way, they persist against personal hardship, putting their families and/or their work before their own needs and welfare to reach their objectives long after others have given up and fallen by the wayside. In fact when practical ability allied with the drive of ambition are required in employees to make a project succeed, Capricornians are the people to hire. They plan carefully to fulfill their ambitions (which often include becoming wealthy), they are economical without meanness, and able to achieve great results with minimum effort and expense. Because of their organizing ability they are able to work on several projects simultaneously.

They have a great respect for authority but may not, if they reach high rank, be willing to listen to other opinions on things they are directly responsible for. As the ranking authority figure in a given situation they expect their underlings to be as self disciplined as they themselves are, and to perform every task undertaken to the highest standard.
They are, nevertheless, fair as well as demanding. Among their equals they are not always the most pleasant of work fellows for they are reserved and too conservative, valuing tradition more than innovation, however valuable the latter, and they are often humorless. There is also a tendency to pessimism, melancholy and even unhappiness which many Capricornians are unable to keep to themselves, especially if they fail personally. In the extreme this trait can make them a very depressed individual; ecstatic happiness alternating with the most wretched kind of misery which is so subconsciously buried that he or she should seek help if such emotions become frequent. For the above reason, capable Capricorn should spend many hours in meditation, gathering the strength to control such inner emotions.

The swings in mood are not the only reason some Capricornians deserve the adjective based on their name - capricious. They can be surprisingly and suddenly witty and subtle for the quiet, reserved individuals they seem to be, and they also have a tendency to ruin things by unexpected and utterly irresponsible bouts of flippancy. In certain individuals in whom the characteristic is strong, the temptation to do this has to be resisted with iron self-control. Another unexpected quality in some Capricornians is an interest in the occult which persists in spite of their naturally skeptical turn of mind.

Their intellects are sometimes very subtle. They think profoundly and deeply, throughly exploring all possibilities before deciding on a 'safe' alternative. They have good memories and an insatiable yet methodical desire for knowledge. They are rational, logical and clearheaded, have good concentration, delight in debate in which they can show off their cleverness by luring their adversaries into traps and confounding them with logic.

In their personal relationships they are often ill-at-ease, if not downright unhappy. They are somewhat self-centered but not excessively so, wary and cautious around people they do not know very well, preferring not to meddle with others and in turn not to allow interference with themselves, thus they tend to attract people who do not understand them. Casual acquaintances they will treat with diplomacy, tact and, above all, reticence. They make few good friends but are intensely loyal to those they do make, and they can become bitter, and powerful enemies. They sometimes dislike the opposite sex and test the waters of affection gingerly before judging the temperature right for marriage. Once married, however, they are faithful, though inclined to jealousy. Most Capricornians marry for life.

According to the Myers Briggs personality test, Peter is a ISFJ type personality. This stands for Introverted Sensing Feeling Judging.

Hide ISFJ explanation.

ISFJs are characterized above all by their desire to serve others, their "need to be needed." In extreme cases, this need is so strong that standard give-and-take relationships are deeply unsatisfying to them; however, most ISFJs find more than enough with which to occupy themselves within the framework of a normal life. (Since ISFJs, like all SJs, are very much bound by the prevailing social conventions, their form of "service" is likely to exclude any elements of moral or political controversy; they specialize in the local, the personal, and the practical.)

ISFJs are often unappreciated, at work, home, and play. Ironically, because they prove over and over that they can be relied on for their loyalty and unstinting, high-quality work, those around them often take them for granted— even take advantage of them. Admittedly, the problem is sometimes aggravated by the ISFJs themselves; for instance, they are notoriously bad at delegating ("If you want it done right, do it yourself"). And although they're hurt by being treated like doormats, they are often unwilling to toot their own horns about their accomplishments because they feel that although they deserve more credit than they're getting, it's somehow wrong to want any sort of reward for doing work (which is supposed to be a virtue in itself). (And as low-profile Is, their actions don't call attention to themselves as with charismatic Es.) Because of all of this, ISFJs are often overworked, and as a result may suffer from psychosomatic illnesses.

In the workplace, ISFJs are methodical and accurate workers, often with very good memories and unexpected analytic abilities; they are also good with people in small-group or one-on-one situations because of their patient and genuinely sympathetic approach to dealing with others. ISFJs make pleasant and reliable co-workers and exemplary employees, but tend to be harried and uncomfortable in supervisory roles. They are capable of forming strong loyalties, but these are personal rather than institutional loyalties; if someone they've bonded with in this way leaves the company, the ISFJ will leave with them, if given the option. Traditional careers for an ISFJ include: teaching, social work, most religious work, nursing, medicine (general practice only), clerical and and secretarial work of any kind, and some kinds of administrative careers.

While their work ethic is high on the ISFJ priority list, their families are the centers of their lives. ISFJs are extremely warm and demonstrative within the family circle— and often possessive of their loved ones, as well. When these include Es who want to socialize with the rest of the world, or self-contained ITs, the ISFJ must learn to adjust to these behaviors and not interpret them as rejection. Being SJs, they place a strong emphasis on conventional behavior (although, unlike STJs, they are usually as concerned with being "nice" as with strict propriety); if any of their nearest and dearest depart from the straight-and-narrow, it causes the ISFJ major embarrassment: the closer the relationship and the more public the act, the more intense the embarrassment (a fact which many of their teenage children take gleeful advantage of). Over time, however, ISFJs usually mellow, and learn to regard the culprits as harmless eccentrics. Needless to say, ISFJs take infinite trouble over meals, gifts, celebrations, etc., for their loved ones—although strong Js may tend to focus more on what the recipient should want rather than what they do want.

Like most Is, ISFJs have a few, close friends. They are extremely loyal to these, and are ready to provide emotional and practical support at a moment's notice. (However, like most Fs they hate confrontation; if you get into a fight, don't expect them to jump in after you. You can count on them, however, run and get the nearest authority figure.) Unlike with EPs, the older the friendship is, the more an ISFJ will value it. One ISFJ trait that is easily misunderstood by those who haven't known them long is that they are often unable to either hide or articulate any distress they may be feeling. For instance, an ISFJ child may be reproved for "sulking," the actual cause of which is a combination of physical illness plus misguided "good manners." An adult ISFJ may drive a (later ashamed) friend or SO into a fit of temper over the ISFJ's unexplained moodiness, only afterwards to explain about a death in the family they "didn't want to burden anyone with." Those close to ISFJs should learn to watch for the warning signs in these situations and take the initiative themselves to uncover the problem.
