BACKGROUND:

here. the wiki is a little bit bad, so i will bulletpoint his known history.
- Peter was an orphan, unaware of his own history. his heritage is a mystery to him, as well as any remaining members of his family.
- a man named Mag picked him up off the streets and raised him as his own, teaching him all the ins and outs of thieving.
- it's worthwhile to note that Mag claimed to have known Peter's father, reciting a story about how he was killed in Brahma thanks to a protection system that unjustly murders harmless citizens.
- as Peter grows older, he and Mag decide to pull off their biggest scam yet -- following in Peter's father's shoes and seeking to rid Brahma of the laser system.
- Peter is all for it, up until Mag makes it clear the entirety of Brahma will have to die in order for them to succeed. he refuses to aid Mag in their heist in the last stretch of it -- and it's then that Mag reveals he never really knew his father, and was more or less lying in order to push his own agenda. that said, he claims to have never really lied -- that someone like the man he described must have been killed on Brahma before, and that many people will continue to die if they don't see through this heist.
- Peter continues to refuse, and Mag means to make out without him. it's then that Peter pulls out a knife on him and stabs him to death, settling the core reactor back where it belongs and insuring the safety of Brahma.
- this is when Peter decides he will no longer be Peter Nureyev. from here on out, he jumps personas, remaining elusive and impossible to catch, like a shadow. you can't catch something without a name!

then on to Juno Steel,
- Peter meets Juno while in the middle of a scam, pretending to be his partner in order to get close enough to steal the murder weapon in a case Juno is currently working on.
- somewhere along the line he. falls in love.
- but, ultimately, Juno is far more clever than any detective Peter has known before and figures him out, handcuffing and sending him off to jail.
- long story short, Peter gets free and Juno watches, and it's like weird foreplay. Juno proceeds to obsess over Peter while they're apart, Peter proceeds to obsess over Juno while they're apart.
- the next time they meet, it's because Juno needs something. Peter takes the opportunity to his advantage and it's a mutually beneficial exchange, first playing a card game to get intel on how to stow their way onto a train that travels by the lightyear, the most expensive and the most deadly treasures hidden on board it, and then finding their way to it.
- of course, they're met with a fair share of difficulty through this, but eventually they get what they need off it. unfortunately, when they're making their get away, they aren't alone.
- Peter and Juno get taken captive by Miasma, a person with a deadly desire to become the most powerful person in the universe, through collecting ancient Martian Artifacts. thankfully(??), Juno is in possession of one of them, so they get taken captive instead of killed on spot.
- the two of them are tortured for an undisclosed amount of time, before Peter eventually escapes, leaving Juno alone for a time. he promises to come back for him, and eventually he does, right in the nick of time.
- inevitably, they kill Miasma and make their escape. they make plans to leave Mars and start a new life together.
- Juno runs in the night, and Peter wakes up in bed alone. on the same day, he leaves Mars, and out of Juno's life forever.

POWERS: Nothing superhuman, but it is worthwhile to note that Peter is a very experienced and very good thief. He is clever and intuitive, and makes a lifestyle out of being tricky and slippery, stealing even the most heavily guarded goods on Mars.

STARTING EQUIPMENT:

- his daemon, a magpie named JUNOD.
- at least twenty knives
- the clothes on his back ( a nice dress + very expensive high heels + a jacket with very big pockets, though they're mostly filled with miscellaneous junk and drawings of cats )

SAMPLES: at the test drive.

EXIT STRATEGY: Peter is in the process of leaving Mars, alone, when he takes a wrong turn in the dead of space. Maybe he's turning back to go to Mars, to meet Juno and stick by his side anyway, but he flies into some something, under the pursuit of mysterious D.E.S.T.I.N.Y. ships. A portal, a black hole, an inexplicable turn of space. That portal brings him to Xistentia. His vehicle will be unsalvageable scrap when he arrives.
