Name: Peter Cross
Role: Male 6
Age: Twenty three
Occupation: Self proclaimed defender of his family, but officially; none.
Likes:
A challenge - Peter can't resist one, who doesn't love a good challenge.
The freedom to roam and explore - Constantly on the move and never looking back is the way Peter lives his life.
The big picture - Peter loves the big picture and rarely bothers with the details, because there are so many people who actually enjoy "wasting" time with them.
Taking action - Peter is an action person, not one to deal with odds and statistics. When a problem comes up, all Peter wants to know is what to do about it. He focuses on the most direct course of action, and lets others "sweat the small stuff".
Being first - If you're not first; you're last.
Dislikes:
Having a "Boss" - Peter dislikes being subservient or obligated to another.
Waiting - impatient and impulsive is a dangerous combination. Some of the worst things you can say to Peter are "not now" or "just a minute."
Being disappointed and ignored - Peter s always giving it his all, and when he has the opportunity to do so, he will without question, and Peter expect others to as well. Because he feels like he has the power to disperse the dark clouds in the lives of others, peter finds it unbelievable when someone doesn't want the ray of sunshine he's offering at the moment.
Having to sit and talk things out - Peter isn't a compromiser nor a peacemaker, for him, being first and winning is a more powerful motivation. Sitting down and talking things out takes time and energy away from action: peace is not always an option for Peter.
Fears:
Losing the ones he cares about most; isn't that everyone's fear?
Dreams:
If you were to ask Peter, he would say 'what's the point of dreaming if we're living in a nightmare', but secretly he wishes for the desert to turn into a luscious green forest that he can play in with is nephew or niece.
Personality:
Peter is the Restless Warrior; completely willing to rescue you even if you don't need it, and equally willing to fight you even if you don't deserve it. He is hot headed and compassionate. He is driven by passion and determined to protect the ones he loves. In fact, he wants all or nothing to do with you depending on his trust in you. not everyone can handle his strong personality.
Background:
At a very early age Peter realized he was a burden on his loved ones he loved. His mother, Maeve, died giving birth to him and his father, Richard, died defending him. One of his first memories was hiding in a storage unit with his older sister at the young age of ten. He could hear the cries of of the men, women, and children dying as the Desert Pirates raided his world. It took him awhile to recuperate from that traumatic event. He was around fourteen when he grew tired of waiting around and following his sister, Hannah. Peter began to take initiative by setting traps for small game before nightfall, in the morning most of the traps were empty or broken, but every now and then, he would find an animal waiting for him. It wasn't much, but it kept him and his sister alive. Every failure only feed his determination to stay alive, every success made him strive to do better. Soon, Peter became an efficient hunter and trapper. One day, in the wilderness, Peter came across a frame of a building that once stood. He quickly began searching in the rubble for something useful to sell, finding only a magnify glass and paper for kindling. he was just about to give up when something reflecting the light caught his eye. it was a ring. Peter rushed back to his sister to share the good news. He had left her with a small band of cave dwelling scrapers. The young man didn't believe in coincidence, but the same day he found the ring was the same day Hannah found Jack.
