- Peter was an accident; he wasn't planned in the slightest, and as a result he was viewed as a mistake from the very get-go, at least by his father. Or at least that's what he's always assumed, as a means to understand the severe imbalance of affection from him, when it comes to Peter and Nathan.
- He had a childhood toy that he still has pieces of, even though it fell apart years ago: a small, blue stuffed rabbit with floppy ears named Cuddles. He was always missing an eye, and Peter said it just meant he didn't need it. He carried the thing wherever he went, from when he got it at age 2 until it fell apart, around the time Peter turned 10.
- From about the time Peter was brought home from the hospital until he was 5, Nathan viewed Peter as little more than a very strange little pet. He wasn't so much a little brother as some living thing that he played with when he felt like, and then left for the maids to clean up and take care of. Peter never knew the difference.
- Nathan's nickname for him when they were little was Peter Rabbit, because he was bouncy as a bunny when he felt happy enough.
- Peter liked to hide as a kid. He wasn't happy or comfortable until he was curled up under a table or something with a toy or a book, once he got old enough to read. He liked the small spaces and they tended to make him feel safe. He was forced to give that up at 9, though, because his mother said it looked too strange.
- When Peter was 8 years old, he broke his arm trying to play Superman by jumping off the banister of the 2nd floor landing at the family house. Nathan, having felt guilty because he was supposed to watch Peter that afternoon and had cancelled, brought him a Superman cape to try and make him feel better while his arm was in the cast. Peter still has the cape, tucked in a box under his bed at their parents' house.
- When he was a kid, Peter used to love gummy worms. He would eat them whenever he was allowed, because they were his favorite candy. One evening when he was seven, Nathan was babysitting, and he let Peter eat an entire bag of the confections. Peter got sick from them, and as a result, ever since then he has been unable to stand anything gummy. Just the smell of a bag of gummy bears will make him queasy.
- Peter had to take ballroom dancing lessons at age 12, but thankfully he was so terrible and awkward with it that the teacher asked that he excuse himself from classes for the rest of the sessions.
- Peter's parents are fluent in Italian. Their mother insisted Nathan take lessons in it, but Peter was exempt from them. However, he started his own private lessons on his own, so he could try and learn just what his father was saying about him, behind his back.

NAME: Peter Anthony Petrelli
AGE: 27
BIRTHDATE: December 23rd, 1979
FANDOM: Heroes
PB: Milo Ventimiglia
SIGN: Capricorn
HOMETOWN: New York City, New York
OCCUPATION: Unemployed; former hospice nurse
DESIGNATION: Empathic power mimic
STATUS: Taken
SEXUAL STATUS: Bisexual
( History )
Canon Point: post-episode 1x23, "How To Stop An Exploding Man" and pre-episode 2x01, "Four Months Later"
PERSONALITY: He's sweet, caring, concerned for the wellbeing of others and the plight of the less fortunate, no matter whether or not he knows them. Peter is the exact opposite of Nathan in that he's willing to sacrifice his own popularity to help someone else. He despises having his family's money attached to his name, and actually put himself through nursing school on his own, without any help from his father's "blood money." His choice of hospice nursing as a career is well suited for him, in that he cares for people and how they feel more than anything. He is a hero, through and through. Peter's main weakness is his family. He holds a definite soft spot for his brother Nathan, even though the man most of the time is cold, or using him for his own personal gain. He knows that deep down Nathan loves him, even if he hardly ever shows it, except through touches and the occasional hug. His own feelings for Nathan are confusing at best, and can be exploited in a manner that could be harmful to him. Another of his weaknesses is his constant wish to be a hero. He has always had a bit of an inferiority complex, thanks to his golden-boy big brother, and it's made hims always yearn to be someone special; to be somebody - a hero. He will rush in blindly if he thinks someone needs to be saved, quite often getting him into trouble. Also, his grip on his powers is tenuous at best. He's learned to control them to a point, but there are still times that he overloads, getting migraines, losing consciousness, and on the very rare, very extreme cases going comatose or exploding.
ABILITIES: Peter is what is known as an empathic power mimic; when around anyone with abilities his body absorbs that ability, and can call it up at will, if and when he thinks about the person he gained the ability from. However, the abilities are seemingly stored for good in his genes, once he's acquired them or been in proximity with their original owner. His powers, though centered in the brain, are tied to his feelings, and sometimes can go out of control if he is too agitated or upset, or panicking. Also if he is around too many powered people at once, his body can and will absorb powers too quickly, weakening Peter to the point of a comatose state, in extreme cases. As of the point in canon he is being brought from (between season 1 and 2, circa 2x08 "Four Months Ago"), he has absorbed the following abilities:
