* EvenEvilHasStandards: PlayedForLaughs. 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 EasterEgg).

* EvenEvilHasStandards: PlayedForLaughs. As EvenEvilHasStandards: Peter understands that unlike himself, the player and their loved ones aren't video-game characters, and that if we die, we can't come back or respawn. For this reason, if he were in the real world, Peter would never hurt or kill anyone we loved, such as family or friends, because he understands the real fragility of life. In the game, it doesn't matter, because with every reset or restart of the game, those who died are brought back to life. But he does understand that death is permanent in the real world. Also PlayedForLaughs - 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 EasterEgg).

* UnpopularPopularCharacter: 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.
