THE CHARACTER

Character Name: Peter Jason Quill
Series: Marvel Cinematic Universe / Guardians of the Galaxy
Canon Point: Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2, while fighting with his father, Ego
Character Age: 34
Background: There’s another name you might know me by!

Personality: Peter Jason Quill is an asshole.

Or at the very least, he was raised to be an asshole. Immediately after the death of his mother, Peter was kidnapped as a boy from Earth in 1988 by a gang of space mercenaries called the Ravagers. The captain of the pirate gang, Yondu Udonta, brought Peter into the fold and taught him the tricks of the trade; Peter is told from a young age that they only keep him around because he’s small, capable of fitting into small spaces, which was the first of many problems in a lifetime of issues. Twenty-six years pass under Yondu’s wing, and Peter kind of became a selfish, apparently self-serving jerk. He has no aversions to committing crime, up to and including killing; in fact, he seems to take some pride in his work, taking on the alias “Star-Lord” and hoping to make a name for himself. When he finally does come into his own, it’s as a hero and the leader of the Guardians of the Galaxy.

To the uninitiated, Peter can seem pretty easy to read, and for the most part he wears his emotions on his sleeve. Peter looks to be the carefree type – the kind of person who never really takes anything seriously or considers things like “responsibilities” as largely optional. An irrepressible flirt, Peter is charismatic, gregarious, and confident to a fault. He tends to talk too much, making up stories or referencing pop culture from his childhood that no one really cares about, much less wants to hear. In the face of danger, he’s never afraid to make a joke or sarcastic quip (or challenge his enemies to a dance-off). Because of that, people tend to think of him as an idiot, a fool, or an easy mark.

In reality, Peter frequently puts his wits to good use, spotting weaknesses in his opponents and figuring out how to use them to his advantage, or using the tools at his disposal to get himself out of tricky situations. He knows the various uses of his weapons and gadgets, which allows him to utilize them in unexpected ways. A gravity mine meant to extract items can just as easily be used against people, or a jet-attachment can give his jumps more power and can easily be used to shove enemies away or to empower his kicks.

Peter has faith in his skills, which translates to the way he holds himself and the way he speaks with others. He has a swagger and charm that speaks to his confidence, which helps all the more when he needs to turn on the charisma. While he acknowledges that he may not be as strong or as durable as his new teammates – he accuses Gamora, at one point, of preferring that he be “the weak one” – he’s at least comfortable enough in his position to (un?)officially lead the team. That said, Peter’s confidence can teeter into the wrong side of pride. While he’s not so proud as to not ask for help, or to not recognize the skills of his teammates, he refuses to budge in certain matters. For instance, while trying to escape an enemy fleet, Peter refuses to allow Rocket to pilot their ship through a quantum asteroid field. He feels his own piloting skills far exceed Rocket’s, and rather than concede and allow Rocket to pilot, Peter stubbornly puts his foot down, fighting for control and putting the entire ship at risk.

Peter has always had something of an altruistic streak. As a kid, he would defend helpless animals against bullies; and as an adult, he found himself risking life and limb several times over in the span of only a few days to help a ragtag group of criminals save the galaxy from some crazy, nigh unstoppable dude called Ronan the Accuser. He’s a strange mix of self-centered and selfless (he characterizes himself as “an a-hole, but not 100% a dick”) in that he’s perfectly okay in riding the grey area between morality and immorality. He’s far braver than most people would give him credit for – but that same bravery tends to make him reckless. He has a tendency to talk or act before he really thinks on the consequences, which leads to Peter leaping before he looks more often than not, and also leads to a puzzling fondness for Heroic Sacrifices™. Peter frequently puts his life on the line – braving the vacuum of space, taking on the all-consuming energies of a destructive Infinity Stone, or staying behind to battle an actual god to a standstill so his friends can escape, just to name a few examples – to protect his companions and, by proxy, the people of the galaxy.

Of his companions in the film – that being an assassin, a thug, a maniac, and a tiny tree toddling his way through his terrible-twos – Peter is the most well-adjusted and, for lack of a better term, “normal.” That isn’t to say he doesn’t have baggage of his own, though. His biggest issue is his insistence on living in the past. He clings to the few belongings he had on him on the day of his abduction and protects them fiercely, preserving his last connections to Earth. Twenty-six years pass, and he still owned the clothes he had on his back when he was a child, still had the gift his mother gave him on her deathbed (unopened, until only recently), and still had his Sony Walkman and the accompanying cassette tape, “Awesome Mix Vol. 1.” The Walkman and the tape were also gifts from his mom and are his most prized possessions; he basically listened to them everyday for the past twenty-six years. He keeps the more painful memories of his past close to his heart. The closest he gets to telling anyone of his history in the first film is when he speaks with Gamora, and rather than mention the moment of his mother’s passing, he dithers and instead calls it “the day [he] left Earth.” At the end of the first film, though, it seems he’s slowly learning to move forward with his life, as shown when he finally opens the gift from his mother, left wrapped and untouched for nearly three decades. (Surprise, it’s a brand new mix tape: “Awesome Mix Vol. 2.”)

Powers/Abilities:

Charisma: Despite his tendency to babble, he’s frequently able to talk his way out of most sticky situations. Failing that, he plays the part he’s expected to play, feigning ignorance, weakness, or ineptitude long enough to set his hastily cobbled-together plans into motion. He’s a pretty good actor when the situation calls for it, slipping into roles and changing his speech and mannerisms as needed: with a businessman, he’s polite and complimentary (though he can never quite repress his tendency to be a smart-ass); with a blood-thirsty killing machine, he points out his own battle-scars; with a Ravager, he mimics their speech patterns and speaks the language of cold, hard cash; and with the High Priestess of a pretentious, self-aggrandizing alien species, he’s deferent, attentive, and charming.
Combat: While he might not have top-of-the-line training, Peter is able to fight his way through ostensibly overwhelming odds. He's quick on his feet and resourceful, and what he lacks in formal training and brute strength, he makes up for in speed and utility.
Dexterity: Peter is adept at sleight of hand tricks, swapping items for duds, swiping items from under someone's nose – tricks that require misdirection and quick hands. He can pick locks, as well.
Marksmanship: He's shown using a variety of firearms with impeccable aim. Pew pew.
Piloting: Peter is the best pilot in the galaxy, hands down, no contest. Peter is knowledgeable on the strengths and weaknesses of different types of ships and is capable of piloting them with a high amount of skill. At one point in the first film, he’s shown to pilot a construction/mining ship, and then using the gripping claws of that ship to pilot a second ship, because why the hell not? Peter is also able to fly his preferred ship, the Milano through a pitched battle, and (to an arguable degree of success) through a quantum asteroid field.
Enhanced Durability: Peter is largely human, but his half-Celestial side allows him to withstand conditions a normal human couldn’t. He recovers quickly from what appear to be devastating blows (getting thrown into stone walls, falling from several stories, being slapped out of midair by a weird tentacle monster, just to name a few examples). He’s also shown to endure and survive the vacuum of space for a very short time, and he’s able to withstand the power of an Infinity Stone without assistance for far longer than any mortal before him.
Molecular Manipulation: As part of his Celestial background, Peter currently has the ability to manipulate matter; the primary application for this, as shown in the film, is the ability to gather stone around himself, using it to empower his attacks and to shield himself. He’s also able to use this particular ability to fly, or to launch himself at high speeds.
Energy Manipulation: Again, thanks to his Celestial side, Peter can summon energy into his hands – called simply “the Light” – to form simple constructs. Primarily, he’s shown to make a ball. Impressed yet?
Self-Augmentation: Using his connection to the Light, Peter can empower himself to superhuman levels, increasing both his strength and durability. Doing so allows him to survive smashing through stone, plummeting hundreds of feet, and to punch the ever-loving hell out of would-be megalomaniacs.
Immortality: As long as the Light exists in Ego’s core, Peter will effectively remain immortal.

NOTE: These powers are not applicable, since the Storm would have destroyed the core of Ego's planet.

Power Nerfs (if applicable): At the canon point I’ve chosen, Peter has very little idea of how to use the powers granted to him by his Celestial heritage. As such, most attempts at using his abilities will be clumsy or unsuccessful.

Also, “immortality” as expressed in the film is pretty vague, and I’ve interpreted it as being long life, rather than true immortality. Peter still runs the risk of being killed, but, hey, if he manages to not get shot or stabbed or sickened, he’ll live to the ripe old age of who-the-heck-knows.

Inventory:

His clothes
His quad blasters (a pair of guns capable of firing plasma and/or electricity)
His helmet

Incentives:

The protection of his loved ones and their loved ones – specifically, the members of his team and anyone they might care about. Because Peter’s selfless like that.
The ability to help protect the universe at large. Because Peter’s brave like that.
Some sort of monetary compensation. Because Peter’s greedy like that.
The recovery of his Sony Walkman and his mother’s mix tapes - Awesome Mix Vol. 1 and Awesome Mix Vol. 2. Because Peter’s sentimental like that.

Marksmanship: He's shown using a variety of firearms with impeccable aim. Pew pew.

Piloting: Peter is knowledgeable on different types of ships and is capable of piloting them with a high amount of skill. At one point in the first film, he’s shown to pilot a construction/mining ship, and then using the gripping claws of that ship to pilot a second ship. Peter is also able to fly his preferred ship, the Milano through a pitched battle, and (to an arguable degree of success) through a quantum asteroid field.

Aside from that, though, he’s a normal human — for the most part, anyway. At the end of the second film, the abilities granted by his Celestial ancestry (molecule manipulation; self-healing; self-augmentation; immortality) have been stripped away, though he still retains his above-average strength and durability.

● strengths:

Brave: Peter is frequently shown putting his life on the line for others - leaping into the vacuum of space, diving to push others out of the way of an crashing spaceship, putting his life on the line for an entire galaxy. As a child, Peter had always been the type to stick up for the little guy, even if he wasn’t much to look at, either. That tendency stuck with him, despite the Ravagers’ apparent attempts to snuff it out, which leads to Peter repeatedly putting himself in the line of fire and taking up the mantle to, as the title suggests, safeguard the galaxy.

Confident: Peter has faith in his skills, which translates to the way he holds himself and the way he speaks with others. He has a swagger and charm that speaks to his confidence, which helps all the more when he needs to turn on the charisma. While he acknowledges that he may not be as strong or as durable as his new teammates – he accuses Gamora, at one point, of preferring that he be “the weak one” – he’s at least comfortable enough in his position to (un?)officially lead the team.

Resourceful: Peter is shown putting his wits to good use, spotting weaknesses in his opponents and figuring out how to use them to his advantage, or using the tools at his disposal to get himself out of tricky situations. He knows the various uses of his weapons and gadgets, which allows him to utilize them in unexpected ways. A gravity mine meant to extract items can just as easily be used against people, a jet-attachment can give his jumps more power and can easily be used to shove enemies away or to empower his kicks.

● weaknesses:

Reckless: Peter’s bravery teeters more often than not into recklessness, judging by his fondness for Heroic Sacrifices™. He has a tendency to talk or act before he really thinks on the consequences, which leads to Peter leaping before he looks more often than not.

Proud: Peter’s confidence can teeter into the wrong side of pride. While he’s not so proud as to not ask for help, or to not recognize the skills of his teammates, in certain matters, he refuses to budge. For instance, while trying to escape an enemy fleet, Peter refuses to allow Rocket to pilot their ship through a quantum asteroid field. He feels his own piloting skills far exceed Rocket’s, and rather than concede and allow Rocket to pilot, Peter stubbornly puts his foot down, fighting for control and putting the entire ship at risk.

Selfish: Raised among Ravagers who hardly seemed to care about his well-being (and oftentimes seemed to prefer him dead), Peter’s spent a great deal of his life looking out for himself. Now that he has a team, it’s a bad habit that he is trying to rid himself of, but it stills rears its head occasionally. He is often shown trying to fulfill his own wishes and desires without listening or heeding his teammates, though he manages to snap himself out of that line of thinking with particularly dire wake-up calls.

● job skills (optional): Resourcefulness, piloting skills, and marksmanship. (But Peter would also happily expound on anything listed in abilities above. He’s generous and forthcoming like that.)

● housing (optional): with his bff Gamora, please!

〈 CHARACTER INFO 〉
CHARACTER NAME: Peter Jason Quill / Star-Lord
CHARACTER AGE: 35
SERIES: Marvel Cinematic Universe / Guardians of the Galaxy
CHRONOLOGY: post-film
CLASS: Hero. Well, Anti-Hero. Chaotic Good, for sure.
HOUSING: Down for whatever! I’m easy like Sunday morning.

BACKGROUND: http://marvel-movies.wikia.com/wiki/Peter_Quill

Peter Quill is the main character and the point of view character for the film. While he’s not the most effective hero to have ever heroed, he’s the glue that holds his team together. He finds the MacGuffin that Gamora is searching for; he betrays his mentor, who then puts a bounty on Peter’s head, which brings in Rocket and Groot; and he reaches out, in a way, to Drax the Destroyer, who then decides to follow along with whatever plan Peter puts into motion for the sake of revenge. And moreover, he’s the dude who makes the Inspiring Speech that motivates this team of misfits to battle the Bad Guy, crushing him and his evilness once and for all.

He’s a thief, a flirt, and something of an asshole; but while he may be kind of a dick at times, he still has something close to a heart of gold. A heart plated with gold, maybe? There is gold involved, is what I’m saying. While he makes selfish decisions throughout the course of the movie, his kindness and selflessness eventually catches up with him, and we learn that maybe, just maybe, there’s some non-dickishness in him, after all.

By the end of the film, he’s the de facto leader of the so-called Guardians of the Galaxy. Granted, the other Guardians would likely never admit as much, Peter would totally claim the title as his own. Because it is him. He is the leader. They live on his ship. I CAPTAIN NOW.

PERSONALITY: Peter Jason Quill is an asshole.

Or at the very least, he was raised to be an asshole. Immediately after the death of his mother, Peter was kidnapped as a boy from Earth in 1988 by a gang of space pirates called the Ravagers. While Peter never found out the original intention of his abduction (which was for the Ravagers to drop him off to his biological father), the captain of the pirate gang, Yondu Udonta, brought Peter into the fold and taught him the tricks of the trade. Twenty-six years pass under Yondu’s wing, and Peter kind of became a dick. He has no aversions to committing crime; in fact, he seems to take some pride in his work, taking on the alias “Star-Lord” and hoping to make a name for himself.

Even so, Peter has always had something of an altruistic streak. As a kid, he would defend helpless animals against bullies; and as an adult, he found himself risking life and limb several times over in the span of only a few days to help a ragtag group of criminals save the galaxy from some crazy, nigh unstoppable dude called Ronan the Accuser. He’s a strange mix of self-centered and selfless (he characterizes himself as “an a-hole, but not 100% a dick”) in that he’s perfectly okay in riding the grey area between morality and immorality. As an example, at one point in the film, they realize their MacGuffin (the “Orb”) actually houses a dangerous and powerful Infinity Stone (a deadly weapon said to be as old as the universe itself, which only the extremely powerful and strong could wield; all others were destroyed in their attempts to harness it). Naturally, the Big Bad is trying to get his hands on the stone. The only planet with the means to keep it safe is Xandar, where the team is wanted for arrest. While Peter knows the team has to keep the Infinity Stone out of Ronan’s hands, his idea consists of finding a new buyer for the Stone, which has the happy outcome of turning them a profit and keeping them out of prison.

He realizes this is a mistake, however, and eventually has a change of heart, knowing that only the Nova Corps on Xandar can protect the Orb; he rallies his companions and they join together as a team. As the film progresses, he puts himself on the line for his newfound friends - braving the vacuum of space, risking death-by-crash-landing, and taking on the all-consuming energies of a destructive Infinity Stone to protect his companions and, by proxy, the people of the galaxy.

Of his companions in the film – that being an assassin, two thugs, and a maniac – Peter is the most well-adjusted and, for lack of a better term, “normal.” That isn’t to say he doesn’t have baggage of his own, though. His biggest issue is his inability to really move forward with his life. He clings to the few belongings he had on him on the day of his abduction and protects them fiercely, preserving his last connections to Earth. Twenty-six years pass, and he still owns the clothes he had on his back when he was a child, still has the gift his mother gave him on her deathbed (unopened -- opening it, after all, would break the seal on the time capsule), and still has his music player. His Sony Walkman and the accompanying cassette tape, “Awesome Mix Vol. 1,” also gifts from his mom, are his most prized possessions, and he’s basically listened to them everyday for the past twenty-six years. His gregariousness can make him seem like an open book, but he keeps the more painful memories of his past close to his heart. For instance, the closest he gets to telling anyone of his history is when he speaks with Gamora, and rather than mention the moment of his mother’s passing, he dithers and instead calls it “the day [he] left Earth.” At the end of the film, though, it seems he’s slowly learning to move forward with his life, as shown when he finally opens the gift from his mother, left wrapped and untouched for nearly three decades. (Surprise, it’s a brand new mix tape, “Awesome Mix Vol. 2.”)

To the uninitiated, Peter can seem pretty easy to read, and for the most part he wears his emotions on his sleeve. On the surface, he looks to be the carefree type, the kind of person who never really takes anything seriously or considers things like “responsibilities” as largely optional. An irrepressible flirt, Peter is charismatic, gregarious, and confident to a fault. He tends to talk too much, making up stories or referencing pop culture from his childhood that no one really cares about, much less wants to hear. In the face of danger, he’s never afraid to make a joke or sarcastic quip (or challenge his enemies to a dance-off). Because of that, people tend to think of him as an idiot, a fool, or an easy mark.

The reality is, Peter is clever and resourceful, though, yes, he’s definitely irresponsible and, at times, immature. Despite his tendency to babble, he’s frequently able to talk his way out of most sticky situations. Failing that, he plays the part he’s expected to play, feigning ignorance, weakness, or ineptitude long enough to set his hastily cobbled-together plans into motion. He’s a pretty good actor when the situation calls for it, slipping into roles and changing his speech and mannerisms as needed: with a businessman, he’s polite and complimentary (though he can never quite repress his tendency to be a smart-ass); with a blood-thirsty killing machine, he’s deferent and points out his own battle-scars; with a Ravager, he mimics their speech patterns and speaks the language of money. And if that doesn’t work? Violence is always an option.

POWER: Canonically, despite appearances to the contrary (appearances being that Peter looks and acts like a dumbass), Peter is skilled with firearms and adept at hand-to-hand combat. While he might not have top-of-the-line training, he’s definitely above average and can hold his own. He’s an adept pilot, as well, though I doubt that will come into play here???

Aside from that, though, he’s a normal human — for the most part, anyway. At the end of the film, it’s revealed that Peter was born from a human mother and an alien father. His father’s race currently remains unknown (he most likely will not share the same origins as his comic book counterpart), but it is believed to be something ancient; they surmise that because of his unknown half, he was able to withstand the power of the Infinity Stone longer than expected. As such, it can be assumed that he has a pretty high threshold when it comes to pain tolerance. What other perks his alien origins might provide are as yet unknown.

As for non-canon abilities—

Name That Tune: Peter can name the title of a song, the artist, and the year it was released after hearing only one note. He will also know the lyrics, if applicable; so he’ll be a walking, talking music wiki.
Teleportation: Peter will be able to teleport! Mostly he’ll be using this ability to, like, pull pranks or freak people out. First I’m all the way over here! NOW I’M RIGHT HERE! Stuff like that.
Voice Manipulation: NEW AND IMPROVED -- Peter can modify his voice to mimic other people’s voices, animal sounds, etc. He can make any noise/sound/explosion/etc. he'd like, and will likely use this to call people and ask if their fridge is running. “Hi, I’m looking for Amanda? Last name, Hugginkiss?”

LOGS POST (PROSE) SAMPLE:

So.

A hero, huh?

That’s a title that Peter never thought he’d be branded with. Well, maybe when he was, like, eight years old? Seven? When he thought a single person was capable of changing the world, when he thought a dude could get blasted with radiation or some weird chemical or whatever and could gain the power to move mountains. At seven or eight years old, anything is possible, and anything can happen; people can become paragons of virtue and morality. People could get injected with some kind of serum and go from scrawny kid to buffed-up symbol of truth, justice, and the American way.

That sort of mindset changed when he was nine, though. It was about then that he learned bad things happen to good people. He learned, too, that there wasn’t always a solution waiting around the corner that would fix everything, set everything right again. Things didn’t always go back to the way they were at the end of the episode. Sometimes people leave you. Sometimes you leave them. And it’s rarely ever voluntary.

But twenty-six years later, and the word “hero” is getting thrown around. And even worse, it’s getting thrown at him. “Hero of Xandar.” “Savior of the Nova Corps.” “Guardian of the Galaxy.” It’s kind of awesome? But, Jesus, no pressure, right? Christ. It’s a lot for an only half-reformed criminal to take in. Sure, it was cool at first, but now he has no idea if he’s up for the task. There wasn’t much time to think, just to act. And with time to dwell on it, well. He’s not really hero material, is he?

And now he’s-- wherever the fuck he is. No ship, no crew, but swanky digs and a guaranteed fanbase. And he’s literally been branded a hero.

He has no idea how to feel about any of this.

… At least the tattoo is pretty cool?

FINAL NOTES:
Inventory:

His helmet, which is activated/deactivated with an attachment he wears over his ear
Jet boot attachments
Two quad blasters
Sony Walkman and cassette tape(s) — Awesome Mix Volume 1 and Awesome Mix Volume 2

CHARACTER NAME: Peter Jason Quill | Star-Lord
CHARACTER SERIES: Guardians of the Galaxy | Marvel Cinematic Universe

[OOC]
Style: When in doubt, I default to present tense brackets, but I'm fine with playing in prose/your preferred tense!
Backtagging: Absolutely. I generally try to keep a thread going until there's a natural stopping point, but sometimes things fall through the cracks. Always feel free to PM me if you want to continue a thread.
Threadhopping: Sure thing, as long as the other player is fine with it!
Fourthwalling: Please no. :c
Offensive subjects (elaborate): Tags may make mention of past child abuse and an unhappy childhood in general, violence, and sex, but otherwise he most likely won't broach anything too wild. Expect a decent amount of swearing.

As for scenarios I'd like to avoid, for shippy things, I'm not a fan of noncon, and dubcon will need discussion beforehand. Also, I prefer to ship with characters who are 30ish and above. See my kinks list for more info on hard no's for smut purposes. Otherwise, I'm generally game for anything, but it never hurts to PM me to check.

[IC]
Hugging this character: Go for it!
Kissing this character: Yes, please.
Flirting with this character: Only if he can flirt back, which he absolutely will.
Fighting with this character: Sure! Peter is above average, as far as human strength and durability goes. He's a sharpshooter, for the most part, but he's pretty scrappy.
Injuring this character (include limits and severity): Nonfatal injuries are fine. Anything more serious, please discuss this with me first.
Killing this character: Unless it's a meme that specifically calls for it, please discuss this with me first!
Using telepathy/mind reading abilities on this character: Fine by me! Just leave me a note, and I'll be sure to include more information about his thoughts.

[SHIPPING]
General: open to shipping both m/f and m/m! characters should be 30+ years old. Honestly, I'm a multi-shipper so just hit me with whatever you've got.

Will Ship: What won't I ship. (The answer is: the folks below)
Gen Only: Rocket Raccoon, Groot, Yondu, Mantis, characters under 30.
