Peter is the once-divorced 30-year-old, Kaminoan-engineered nepo baby son of an Imperial admiral, a former colonel and wing commander in the Starfighter Corps whose charmed(-ish) life and career went off the rails complete with psychiatric discharge after an emergency landing on a remote world led to severe injury and his capture as a POW. Minutes prior to his capture, he encountered a single rebel only to panic in the moment of truth and miss a clean shot—requiring that he finish the man at point-blank range, a vision that now haunts him. Peter survived thanks to a high-profile, televised POW exchange for more valuable Alliance prisoners solely due to who his father is, but he Came Back Wrong: killing an enemy he could see for the first time in his career, and the three days he spent without medical treatment for the excruciating compound fracture of his left wrist, led to the development of severe PTSD that has left him depressed and unstable, his normally warm, even-keeled, reserved disposition now punctuated by unpredictable emotional outbursts and panic attacks. Following his release from a lengthy hospital stay for septic shock and a lifesaving amputation of the hand and forearm, Peter was declared unfit to serve on psychiatric grounds and discharged, rendering him a disgrace and embarrassment to his father in a fascist, hypermilitaristic society: he immediately surrendered and was captured alive, he developed PTSD from a single kill at the rank of colonel, and he ultimately failed in the line of duty even despite being genetically engineered to excel. Now he's just attempting to reassemble his life and process the loss of a limb, all while trying to figure out where he fits into a society that has no place for him. Info + notes on his prosthesis.

Honestly, I'm open to most things with this guy as I've just started writing him and am still getting a feel for the character - mostly just looking to get some juicy threads going! I'm open to crosscanon/star wars AUs, happy to transplant him into the Trek universe, and can also write him in a modern-ish (mid 2000s-early 2010s) timeframe having come out of a similar situation in the Iraq War.

Some potential plotlines (not exhaustive): weirdly tense coworker relationships with other Imperials who don't have the kind of privilege he grew up with (pre-capture), deciding he can't take it any more and defecting to the alliance (or trying to convince someone to help him do so despite most people having seen his state portrait on the news), making friends in the hospital/physical rehab facility, combat situations with members of the same squadron pre-capture, ending up prisoner to characters other than those who originally captured him and trying to bargain for his life, making friends in some sort of PTSD group therapy situation (works particularly well for modern AU). In a situation in which he defects, I'd love to play with the idea of trust being a massive issue—he still has a very much alive father who is a part of the Empire's war machine and shares culpability in millions of deaths, and he's very attached to friends in his former squadron who are now enemies he is being called upon to help the Alliance kill.

I'd particularly love to thread him against any of the X-wing guys given that he's probably able to recognize that they're more skilled than he is, especially if it's after he's defected - it would be difficult for him because even though these are now his allies, they may have been directly responsible for the deaths of some of his friends who were KIA—and they could say the same of Peter. Because of his PTSD, flying and combat is permanently off the table for him, but I can see him shifting into a role of like, flight mechanic or consulting on tactics because of the sheer volume of inside information he has on the enemy.

I really strongly prefer action brackets over prose; I'm not opposed to threading against players who can only write in prose, but it's much easier for me if I can still reply with action brackets. Present tense, third-person only please.

I love shipping, but it would have to be very slowburn for him because of his issues; smut without a lot of relationship buildup is a no for this character because of his sexual dysfunction and apprehension around physical intimacy. Peter is bisexual and attracted to near-humans (ex: Mirialans, Twi'leks) as well as within his own species.
