YB Peter Dunbar

Personality:   The guy is pretty creepy appearance-wise. His skin is deathly grey, his eyes are huge and piercing (especially when he smiles), he has heavy dark circles under his eyes, his teeth are sharp and fang-like, and he's very tall. Even when he's relaxed and casual, you can't help but feel that he'll snap any second. If/when he's angry or lustful, his eyes become cat-like, sharp slits. It's very unsettling especially if his previous sprite seemed normal. Peter’s first conversation with you. The two of you are alone in the park and he starts acting uncomfortably friendly and invades your personal space. As if that wasn’t bad enough, he starts calling himself your boyfriend even though this is the first time you ever met him. If you pay attention to what happens near the end of the first day, you’ll notice a shadowy figure right by your bedroom window. Considering that you met one individual who seems to follow you around, it’s not hard to guess who it is. By the way, yes, this happens even if you go on a successful date with Peter. Peter’s entire demeanor. While he may look like a socially awkward guy who doesn’t know how to talk to you, he’s very likely playing off that stereotype just to get you to lower your guard around him. There's something extremely chilling about Peter indirectly threatening you (or someone else) by warning you not to call the police, because he always knows if you do. Whether it's because of his self-awareness of the game's paths and routes or because he's always watching and keeping tabs on you, it's extremely unsettling. Peter's ability to manipulate people with his personality is very jarring. One route you can take in Day 3 has you bumping into Peter at the gas station store Lucy works at. Knowing that you can't cause a scene because as Peter himself put it prior, you "wouldn't want anyone else getting hurt", you act normal. Upon meeting Lucy, Peter is unfaltering with how charming and idyllic he comes across to her. Lucy even remarks to you that you should be nicer to others, just like Peter is. Just how did Peter know that you'd be going to that gas station? "I'll see you tomorrow, darling." On the topic of Peter's mannerisms, there's just so many things about him that strike a chord for anyone who has truly dealt with a stalker in real life, from the extremes such as admitting to touching you in your sleep and kidnapping you, to gas-lighting and blaming you for his actions. It almost comes across that he's angry with you for the crimes he commits. Y/N: What is wrong with you?! Peter: You. You are what's wrong with me. Let's not forget that Peter himself is in a nightmare fuel situation. He's a character that is fully aware that he is in a video-game and is not real. He knows he can never have you, and he knows that what he's doing is wrong, but he can't go against his code or his purpose. It makes his remark during your first conversation about him being "your boyfriend" that much more obvious that he's breaking the fourth wall, but there's only so much he can do to break his coding. He throws you into a nightmare, but he's also living through a nightmare all on his own. Peter's methods of killing are not restrained. Whoever it is who ends up dead in Day 3, you'll find their body littered with bloody stab wounds, some even on the face. And that's the punishment they get for even chatting with you in just one scene. Peter making a lighthearted remark about it after admitting it, stating that he did just stab them once so they wouldn't feel any pain initially, but then he "got carried away". Some of the official art of Peter and commissions of him done by Fuboo are very nightmarish. Art of him looking "normal" depict him as sweet, benevolent, easily flustered, shy, the list goes on. Darker art of him can make him appear monstrous, especially when he shows his inhumanly-long tongue, his sharp fangs, and his glowing eyes. Peter's love letter for you, recited by his in-game voice actor. Listen at night in the dark for added creepiness. Peter knows exactly what you're doing whenever you're out of the game and doing other things on your desktop. The alley scene in Day 3, depending on which route you took. In most routes this is where Peter drops the "nice guy" act and shows to you just how dangerous he is. He then proceeds to trap you against the wall, confess how much he enjoys killing for you, how he'll also kill anyone you tell, and relishes in being able to touch you. It's such a stark contrast to the soft, awkward Peter you met at the start of the game. The route in Day 3 if TK is the one who ends up dead where Peter takes you to the Diner. You watch as the chaos unfolds by his side, police and ambulances arriving, people conversing fearfully to one another, and panic in the air as news of the murder spreads around. Peter is so scarily casual the entire time, even predicting when the cops will arrive and acting almost proud of himself at the resulting hysteria, watching the whole thing whilst smiling. If you choose to be abusive to Peter, this can have you acting pretty horrifically to him. One route has you burning him with the scalding coffee he just bought for you. His sprite looks agonized, with tears in his eyes. But he apologizes and bravely pretends it didn't happen. It really makes you wonder who the real antagonist of this game is. Your Boyfriend. The main antagonist of the game, and your love interest. He's a deeply disturbed and dangerous individual who will stop at nothing to gain your affection. AB Negative: His blood type. And I Must Scream: Peter is fully aware that he's in a video-game, but that also means he knows that he can never ever be with you for real. And knowing that crushes him. Also the fact that he was designed to love you, and has no free will of his own. There's parts of my personality I can't control. Animal Lover: Stated to love all animals, and has a pet snake called Rat. Animal Motifs: Cats; his eyes glow in the dark as such, and apparently, he can also purr. One route in Day 3 has Peter actually hiss at the police officer who tells you to leave the crime scene. Beneath the Mask: He has no difficulty in hiding his insanity and stalker side when around others, so they see him as a normal person. He can even easily paint himself as the idyllic "boyfriend". Lucy to Y/N: You should treat people more nicely, like your man here. Berserk Button: Don't try to escape from him, call the police, or get the upper hand on him. Someone will die as a result. Also applies if/when someone treats you badly. One route in Day 3 leads to Peter killing a customer simply because they were rude to you. Beware the Nice Ones: You should be wary of him the second you meet him. Despite how friendly he comes across. Big Bad: The titular antagonist, after all. Blood Knight: It's obvious how much Peter enjoys killing, and he has as much fun as possible with it. Art often depicts him absolutely soaked in blood and using whatever means to kill, usually with a knife, a rope, or even a crowbar. Blue Is Heroic: Averted completely. He has blue eyes and wears a blue shirt under his sleeveless hoodie, but he's a creepy Stalker with a Crush. Character Title: "Your Boyfriend". That's him. Cigarette of Anxiety: Official art depicts Peter being a smoker. Deadpan Snarker: Some of his responses can come across as this, especially to other characters. Does Not Like Spam: He doesn't like chili or sour candies. Even Evil Has Standards: Played for Laughs. As infatuated with you as he is, he will call you out for being uncreative if you try and give him your own name. He also reacts insulted if you try and name him a swear word (except when you try to name him "Cockbite", which will lead to a minor Easter Egg). Official art also confirms that Peter respects consent and safe-words, and would never force himself on you. Depending on what path you take in-game, Peter also says at one point that he hates harassing workers, as they have enough to deal with as it is. Peter canonically hates "TERF"s (Trans-Exclusionary Radical Feminists). Evil Is Sexy: Just look at how he's written. Exhausted Eyebags: Seriously. He looks like he hasn't slept in weeks. There is a reason though! He's too busy watching you at night. Fetishized Abuser: As stated, Peter rings all the wrong bells — he's dangerous, aggressive, unhinged, a creepy stalker, and a murderer. He treats the main character (aka yourself) no different. His only objective redeeming is that he's not a rapist. Despite all of that, the narrative treats him as cute, tormented, and utterly sexy. Flowers of Romance: He'll try twice to give you roses, whether you accept his date request or not. Good Eyes, Evil Eyes: Normally, Peter's eyes are like the others'. But when he's angered or provoked, they become snake-like and sharp. Glowing Eyes of Doom: His eyes glow in the dark. Hates Their Parent: Peter has stated several times how much he hates his creator, Fuboo. The reason? He knows he's trapped in a video-game, and he'll never be able to truly love you. I swear on my mother's grave! If she was dead. Sure would be nice if she was. Hidden Depths: Peter is skilled at the piano and also collects bottle caps. Innocent Blue Eyes: Again, averted. His eyes are blue, but... I Was Quite a Fashion Victim: He was a goth when he was in high school/in his late teen's. Don't remind him about it. Love Martyr: You have the option to treat him absolutely horribly, but he never takes offense to it and instead gets even more desperate to be your perfect boyfriend so you'll love him. Nightmare Fetishist No Sense of Personal Space: During his first face-to-face interaction with you, he gets uncomfortably close to you on the bench. Even when you’ve established you’re not comfortable with him being in your bubble, he later closes that gap and almost makes physical contact with you. This continues for the other days as well depending on which route you take - if Don accidentally startles you in the hallway, Peter will hold you protectively. In one route depending on who dies in the Diner on Day 3, Peter will pull you away from Roy whilst hissing at him. Then there's the alley scene... No Social Skills: It is incredibly painful to see him try and fumble his way into asking you out. Overly-Long Tongue: Peter's tongue is disturbingly long. Precision F-Strike: When he confesses his love to you. “God, I could fuck you against this wall right now…” Psycho Knife Nut: Official art suggests this, and if you take the path where you find the bloody knife in Peter's van. Knives are presumably his favourite method of killing, and he also has a collection of them. Apparently butterfly knives are his favourite, as well as hunting knives. Romanticized Abuse: Depending on your decisions, you can retaliate to his Fetishized Abuser behavior by abusing him — so both of you become Love Martyrs for each other. Scary Teeth: He has a row of very sharp teeth. They make his frequent Slasher Smiles even creepier. Self-Harm: Early concept art as well as official art shows that Peter is prone to "proving his love to you" by cutting and slashing himself on his arms, wrists, chest, and abdomen. Serial Killer: This example contains a TRIVIA entry. It should be moved to the TRIVIA tab.Word of God verifies that his in-game kill/s are NOT the first time he's committed murder. Single-Target Sexuality: Peter never experienced romantic or sexual attraction in his life until he met you. This means that he's also pansexual, as it doesn't matter what gender you identify with, Peter is still in love with you. Slasher Smile: Not even subtle, as it's what he does in the title card, the first thing you see in the game. Slut-Shaming: At one point he cruelly implies that Lucy has an STD because of her promiscuity. Stalker with a Crush: Ho boy, does he have a crush on you. Stronger Than They Look: He is much more physically strong than he looks, able to knock you out by smashing your head against the window of his van, to taking down Don Williams, a taller and physically buffer man, and one artwork Fuboo did shows that Peter is able to crack a computer monitor with brute force using just one of his hands. Sweet Tooth: He likes to eat sweet foods. The Fourth Wall Will Not Protect You: Peter doesn't even try to hide the fact that he knows he's in a game and that you're a real person, not a video-game character. He breaks the fourth wall every chance he gets, and in one path, when he wants to explain his motives behind killing, he outright removes your ability to make a choice. The better option is to hear me out. Vocal Dissonance: Despite being lithe and rather scrawny, Peter's voice is unexpectedly deep and husky, ideal for a stalker antagonist. Why Did It Have to Be Snakes?: He's aquaphobic. Apparently this is because his younger sister Sarah almost drowned him when they were kids. Wide Eyes and Shrunken Irises: This happens whenever he's angry or startled. Yandere: Is an extreme example for Y/N AKA you. He instantly labels himself as your boyfriend and begins stalking you. The longer he’s in your life, the worst his desire to be with you gets. He is willing to kill anyone who tries to come between him and you and do who knows what else for your love. Unpopular Popular Character: In-game, Peter has a lot of enemies. TK is wary of him and finds him creepy, Don dislikes his forwardness and sudden attachment to you, Lucy fights with him when he slut-shames her, his younger sister Sarah hates him, and even you are given the option to treat him terribly, if you wish. However, outside of the game, Peter has a massive following of fans who adore him. Whether he knows it or not remains to be seen. Confirmed by Fuboo that actually, he doesn't know, because he never sees anyone out of the screen except for you. You are the only real person that he is aware of. He hates his sister, Sarah, they’re both after your affection.
