Character Information:
Name: Peter Bishop
Canon: Fringe
Canon Point: Episode 5x13 - "An Enemy of Fate"
Age: 33
Type of Character: Canon
Reference: Peter @ FringeWiki
Setting Concepts:
Fringe Events - The term dubbed to supernatural or otherwise "Strange" events that occured initially due to the Pattern. It was later found to be the result of "cracks" between dimensions causing instability in the fabric of reality. These "soft-spots" allow the impossible to become possible.
The Pattern - The term dubbed to the "pattern" of Fringe Events. Caused by Dr. Walter Bishop when crossing to another universe, the Pattern originates from Lake Reiden, the sight of Dr. Bishop's first cross-over. The Pattern sent "cracks" out from it's origin point, like a bullet through glass, and gave the barrier between universes enough weaknesses to allow Fringe Events to occur.
Fringe Division - A department set up by the FBI (Department of Defence Over There) in order to investigate Fringe Events. Consisting primarily of Agent-in-Charge Col. Phillip Broyles, Agent Olivia Dunham, Agent Astrid Farnesworth and consultants Peter and Walter Bishop, it was Fringe Division's responsibility to investigate and contain Fringe Events and to keep them out of the public eye.
"Over There." - The name given to the alternate universe that exists in paralell to the "prime" universe. Many things are the same, but many things are different. For example, the Department of Defence controls Fringe Division, and Walter Bishop is the Secretary of Defence, after losing his son, Peter, to the Walter of the "Prime" universe. The alternate universe is suffering massive spatial degredation, their Fringe Events being much more violent and reactive. This is due to the fracturing of the universes when Walter crossed over.
The Observers - One possible evolution of humanity. The Observers were created over a period of years by removing portions of the human brain that controlled emotions in order to boost intellect. This was a massive success, but it resulted in a species unable to hate, or love. Observers are created via donations of DNA and grown in tanks. By 2609, they had ruined the planet. The Observers returned to 2015 to take that time period and become a totalitarian government, something that was achieved in 2036
Massive Dynamic - A corporation founded by William Bell and ran by Nina Sharp. Massive Dynamc specialises in advanced technologies and holds control of many smaller companies. It's operations include weapons, defence technologies, medical and pharmeceuticals. It's estimated worth is approximately $50 billion.
Cortexiphan - A drug designed to prevent the natural shrinkage of the human brain, but not reverse it. As such, the drug trials were performed on children. The trials proved explosive results, test subjects gaining supernatural abilites, such as emotional projection, pyrokinesis and dimensional transportation. A key subject in the trials was Olivia Dunham, who gained startlingly exceptional control over her Cortexiphan-induced powers.
Personality: Peter Bishop is a complex human being.
This Peter Bishop is the son of Walter Bishop from "The Other Side." The Peter Bishop from the prime universe died of an uncurable, unknown disease. The Walter from this universe was distraught, but had a window into the alternate universe. He watched as that Walter Bishop, dubbed Walternate, got closer and closer to a vaccine, but was distracted when it came to fruition. Walter, however, saw this. He completed the vaccine and headed to the alternate universe, shattering through the barrier in the process.
He stole the young Peter Bishop from the other universe, but couldn't return him. It's this act that caused Peter to start to distrust, and caused the spiral of his personality.
Peter knew that he didn't belong and believed he came from a world beneath Lake Reiden. He tied a brick to himself and attempted to return, plunging himself into the lake before being rescued by his mother from the prime universe.
By the time he grew up, it seems he had forgotten all of this, but it seems to have factored in his personality. Peter is mistrusting, usually only looking out for himself, and only seems to trust himself and what he knows is true. He joined Fringe Division being extremely skeptical, especially since Walter was a condition.
Peter dropped out of high school, despite his above-average IQ. He hopped from job to job aimlessly, likely echoing the feeling that he doesn't belong. He becomes a jack-of-all-trades, his list of previous occupations includes being a fireman, a cargo pilot, and a college chemistry professor - a position he gained by falsifying a degree from MIT. Despite this he managed to have papers published before he was exposed as a fraud.
Peter slowly has his mind and emotions opened whilst working for the FBI and Fringe Division, even managing to reconcile with Walter, after discovering his true origins. Since working with Fringe Division, Peter has shown he is capable of great compassion, love, and loyalty, and will defend those he loves to the death.
...It has also shown the extreme lengths he will go to for the same. Peter has a snap temper when you get him riled up, and the best way to do that is to mess with his family and friends. Peter Bishop is not above trickery and torture to get what he needs, even going to the extreme of extracting and implanting Observer tech from a prisoner directly into him in order to avenge the death of his daughter.
He can often get locked into one path, stubbornly trying to bull his way through obstacles instead of trying to get around them, but he's also shown being incredibly versatile and strategic when his mind is clear and he can think. It all depends on the situation, and how cornered he feels.
It is correct to assume that Peter Bishop's initial trust issues stem from his childhood. After all, he assumed, correctly, that he wasn't where he belonged to be and attempted to return there, even if that attempt was wrong and risked his life. If it wasn't for his mother, Elizabeth Bishop, he likely would have died.
However, saying that, it was also because of the prime universe's Elizabeth that he wasn't returned home. She and Walter couldn't bear to return this boy, this child that looked and acted so much like their own. They lied and deceived Peter, and did everything to convince him he was from their universe. Peter believed them.
Peter's relationship with Walter was strained; his new father was rarely home, either at Harvard or Jacksonville, conducting Cortexiphan trials with William Bell. A few years after bringing Peter over, a fire in the Harvard lab killed Walter's lab assistant. He was convicted of manslaughter and mental instability and sentanced to St. Claire's Psychiatric Institution. It's clear that, initially, Peter believed that his father's mental instability had killed someone, that, and the impact his incarceration had on his mother.
Elizabeth wasn't able to contain her greif and sorrow over having to constantly lie to Peter, so she took to alcohol abuse and developed severe depression. Peter blamed this on Walter and, when she committed suicide, also blamed this on him. His relationship with Walter was incredibly strained, leading him to never visit him once in 17 years of being held in St. Claire's, not even when his mother died.
At the start of the series, Peter was very closed-minded, thinking his father's dabbling in fringe science was that of a deranged mind. Agent Olivia Dunham had to blackmail him into releasing Walter to help on the case that killed her partner and lover, Agent Scott. Since Walter could only be discharged by a family member, Peter was her only way to investigate the Fringe event and start finding answers.
Peter was exasperated, reluctant to be his father's carer, but Olivia managed to convince him to keep Walter free after the case. She didn't do it through coercion or anything like that, showing that during the course of their first fringe case, Peter and Olivia started to bond.
Initially, it was just friendship, but soon Peter and Olivia started developing further feelings for each other, especially as Olivia managed to get over Agent Scott's death. Meanwhile, Peter was starting to open his mind further. Whilst still exasperated by Walter's idiosynchrosies, brought on by his years in Psychiatric care, he was starting to accept Walter and trust him more.
This all came crashing down as Peter found out about his origins. Olivia, as a by-product of the Cortexiphan trials, can detect when an object is from their universe or Over There. When looking at Peter after finally tapping into her given abilities, she found out. She told Walter, but not Peter, at Walter's request, but was very torn about this.
Peter found out, but not by being told. When people from this universe were obliterated by a device, and he wasn't, he put two and two together and assumed. He was unable to face Walter, or Olivia, and left Boston and took to the road. It was here he finally met his real father, and was taken over to the Other Side. There, he was convinced to help his real father with a plan to destroy the other universe.
He was taken advantage of, his feelings of not belonging fuelling Walternate's plan. He made Peter feel at home, convinced him that he belonged there, and tried to get him to activate a machine that would have destroyed the other universe. When Olivia and Walter crossed over to convince him to come back, he came back willingly, not wanting to destroy one universe over the other.
Unbeknownst to everyone, the Olivia from the other universe swapped places with the other in order to infiltrate and enact Walternate's plan from this side. She became romantically involved with Peter, misunderstanding their relationship from the prime universe's Olivia. When her façade is exposed, Peter is furious with himself and her for deceiving him. He's also heartbroken, but understanding, when Olivia returns but doesn't wish to start a relationship due to her feelings about her doppleganger living her life.
During this time, Peter seems to either forgive or forget Walter's part in taking him, realising that he belongs on this side with the people who love him and understand him; with his friends and family.
Eventually, Peter and Olivia manage to get together and form a relationship, one that transcends timelines. When the Machine is activated, forming a bridge between universes, Peter is temporarily erased from time, everyone forgetting about him. Olivia, however, is heavily dosed with Cortexiphan to kick her abilities into overdrive in order to destroy both universes and create a new one with William Bell as it's progenitor. Because of the Cortexiphan dosage, Olivia somehow remembers her alternate timeline memories and starts a relationship with Peter again.
They marry and have a daughter, Hanrietta, and seem to be very happy... until the Observers invade. In the series of events leading to the Observers' downfall, we see Peter lose again and again, and get more and more desperate. He tortured and killed an Observer when Etta was killed by Captain Windmark, becoming so obsessed with revenge that he was willing to implant Observer technology into himself and, in essence, become one to kill Windmark.
Olivia manages to pull him back, convinces him to remove the implant and return to normal, that revenge isn't everything. He, in turn, manages to keep Olivia grounded when she begins to lose hope. When he discovers Walter's plan, to travel to the genesis of the Observers to change history, and, in turn, be erased from history, he has trouble accepting this. It's clear that their relationship has healed considerably, even as far as Peter mouthing "I love you, dad" as he watches Walter enter the wormhole.
His past shaped his future. As he learned to open his mind, he accepted friends and family into his heart. He became accepting, loving and willing to mend relationships previously severely damaged. He's been hurt, devastated, and shown that he still has a long way to go, his emotional balance a bit unstable due to the amount of trauma he has been put through. He is capable of being exceptionally cruel and sadistic when pushed to that limit.
Appearance:
Abilities: Genius-level intellect, including knowledge of engineering, physics, chemistry, biology, medical science and probably a lot more.
Inventory:
1x Comm Unit (Similar to a cell phone.)
1x Pistol (Designed to kill Observers, clip half empty)
Soul Gem:
Writing Samples:
Third Person: He jolts awake, emerging from the water, spluttering, thrashing, spitting salt water from his mouth.
The... The ocean? How? What was...?
And then he remembers. He remembers the wormhole, 2036, Walter. He remembers everything, and it all comes crashing down on him. What had happened? Had the plan not worked?
What was going on?!
"W...Walter?!" He calls out, treading water, looking around and spotting a shore. He swims himself over to it, pulling himself onto the beach. He takes a moment to catch his breath before staggering to his feet, water dripping from everywhere.
"Walter...?! Olivia?!" He calls out, looking around, hoping beyond hope they were somewhere around here.
And if something had happened, there'd be hell to pay.
Network: Y'know, this is a pretty nice city, and I really appreciate the hospitality and all... y'know, apart from the weird stares and stuff, but...
[A man is on your consoles, Keelial. He's dressed mostly in grey and black, an amicable smile on his face.]
But don't let me intrude any more than I need to. I need to get outta here, and I'm going to get outta here. So... If anyone'd like to help me, I need to find some Sodium Hydrochloride, some Platinum shavings, and something dead that has some sort of brain.
Let me know if you can help. Name's Peter Bishop. Thanks.
