Peter Yan

"The one with the power to crush the Dark Lord arrives...born on the central day of the central month, a hero will rise...and with the righteous peoples of the realm at his service, will vanquish the Dark Lord once and for all...either that or I went overboard on the pills."

- Alan Xian's prophecy that foretold the Peterphile

Peter Yan, known mononymously as Peter throughout the Autistic Adventures series, was the primary protagonist for the first two parts of the novel.

Biography
Peter was an orphan abandoned at the doorsteps of the Shaolin Temple in Normal Realm China, and later revealed to be the prophesied "Peterphile" that will defeat the Second Dark Lord, Keyonne Greyson, and end his reign of terror. He was eventually recruited by Li Shimin when he was twenty-two years old, and was involved in all the events of Autistic Adventures. Following the pivotal Battle of the Holy Library, Peter returned to the Shaolin Temple, along with the First Emissary Divya Veda, and trained himself for three years after permanently losing his Seven Commands of Life and Death during the battle. Believing his destiny was fulfilled, Peter attempted to live a normal life in the Normal Realm, even after Divya informed him of the possible return of Keyonne's army a month before he was forcibly teleported to the Wizard Realm following a traffic accident. Some time afterwards, he was temporarily killed by Keyonne during the Raid on Area 51, before being belatedly revived after Divya sacrificed the immortality bestowed upon her by Alan. After defying the prophecy and forming an alliance with Keyonne near the end of Actually-Good Shippuden to defeat the conquering Elysapien forces, Peter's actions earned him high praise, with a majority of the Wizard Realm regarding him as a hero. However, after experiencing numerous assassination attempts by traitors helping the "Elysapien Empire", who allegedly took over the Normal Realm during the Battle of the Wizard Realm, Peter and Keyonne went into hiding and founded the Coalition of Nations. Three years later, Peter would adopt a newborn orphan and name him Beter.

Appearance
Peter has been stated to have a lean build, black straight hair and black eyes, which are common characteristics of Asian people. He is slightly shorter when compared to other male characters, with the exception of Keyonne who is roughly his height. It is not explicitly stated what Peter wore during Autistic Adventures, though in Actually-Good Shippuden he is stated to be constantly wearing black clothing, causing his ally Michael Hitler to remark him as an "edgelord", a trait which carried on into Beter.

As a result of the overwhelming stress from his reluctantly-accepted new role as the Wizard Realm's protector, and paranoia from past assassination attempts, Peter's health significantly deteriorated ever since the end of Actually-Good Shippuden, causing him to neglect the growth of his facial hair that eventually became a short beard by the time his son went to North Point, and put on some weight.

Personality
Having been under the tutelage of Buddhist monks since his early childhood to adulthood, Peter is generally pacifistic, as he does not seek to intentionally harm others despite possessing great power, though he is willing to retaliate when attacked, when fighting for justice, or when protecting his allies.

However, as a result of the Buddhist teachings, Peter is incredibly ignorant in matters related to romance, which is the cause of his semi-pedophilic tendencies and infatuation towards Divya.

When influenced by negative emotions such as envy or wrath, Peter becomes a raging, ruthless killing machine that only focuses on killing and attacking anyone near him without mercy until his rage is subsided. This destructive side of Peter is further amplified by the immense and uncontrollable amount of magic within him after awakening his Intrinsic, which he struggled with but eventually learned to control.

After the events of Actually-Good Shippuden, Peter briefly suffered from post-traumatic stress disorder and paranoia as a result of witnessing many of his close comrades' deaths and experiencing numerous failed assassination attempts. However, after adopting Beter Yan, Peter was able to slowly recover from these conditions, eventually fully recovering by the time his son went to North Point.

Magic

 * Cosmos Magic: Peter uses this Kinesis-type Intrinsic to generate and manipulate metal, wood, water, fire, and earth. The power to manipulate and generate these five elements is divided amongst his left and right hand respectively. Before mastering this Intrinsic, Peter was only able use it at times of strong emotions, such as when protecting his allies, or when being influenced by negative emotions, and would cause his eyes to glow red. After mastering it, Peter was able to use it whenever he wishes, and his eyes glowed white when he used all of the Intrinsic's might.
 * Full Counter: By extending out his right hand to intercept a magic attack that consists of any of the aforementioned five elements, Peter is able to absorb the magic from the attack into himself and release it back at the user with double the power and in a different form of magic according to the Wu Xing overcoming cycle. For example, he can use Full Counter on a fireball to reflect back a ball of water twice its size, or reflect back a blast of fire after using Full Counter on a beam of metal, etc.
 * Cosmic Destruction: The Wizard's Wrath: Peter's most powerful technique. After absorbing the magic of all the people on Wizard Realm Earth and combining it with all of his, Peter concentrates the energy into his right hand and unleashes it one single downward swipe, engulfing his enemy with the devastating power. It was first and last used by Peter against Thaumiel, the nigh-omnipotent entity resulting from a fusion between the Four Archangels of the Apocalypse. Combined with the Greatbug's Void Magic to prevent it from being blocked, this attack was able to nearly obliterate the god-like Elysapien completely, with only a tiny piece of its flesh remaining afterwards.
 * Seven Commands of Life and Death: Seven magic attacks that Peter developed himself after learning the basics of magic from Li Shimin. Unlike most Extrinsic spells, these techniques are far more powerful and destructive, and require incantations. In exchange for performing a variation of Life Ignition in order to bring Divya back from the brink of death, Peter lost memories of these techniques and their incantations.
 * Exterminate Command: Peter fires a ray of purple-bluish light from his fingertips that pierces the target and explodes them from the inside, destroying them completely. The light beam causes an explosion of energy if it comes in contact with anything inorganic. This Command was developed after Peter learned how to release and direct his magic in the direction he chooses.
 * Blaze Command: Peter generates flames from the palm of his hands and releases blasts of fire out of them to incinerate anything in his path. This Command was developed after Peter learned how to convert magic into other forms of energy.
 * Soul Command: Peter projects a large neon-blue terracotta soldier wielding two maces, known as the Soul Soldier, out of his body to attack enemies within a relatively long range. This Command was developed after Peter learned how to mould the shape of his projected magic.
 * Perish Command: Peter slams his hands onto the ground below him to create ripples of energy that spread out and cause chained detonations around him. It can also be applied to a surface other than the ground, which will create a similar destructive effect. This Command was developed after Peter learned how to channel his magic through solid materials.
 * Death Command: Peter summons a three-headed and six-armed deity behind him that launches blizzards of blades made out of magic at his enemy, which can easily pierce through flesh and cause giant explosions. This Command was developed after Peter learned how to temporarily create physical objects through magic.
 * Two unused Commands

Abilities

 * Immense Magic Power: Peter possesses a tremendous amount of magic power, as shown when he easily overpowered Sydney Smith and Judah by using Full Counter, completely decimated Ortus and its troops with magic alone, and overwhelmed a combined attack of four Seraphs with his own attack.
 * Expert Martial Artist: As a result of his training within the Shaolin Temple, Peter became an extremely skilled fighter after the three-year time-skip between Autistic Adventures and Actually-Good Shippuden. He was able to defeat fifty men armed with melee weapons with a simple leather belt.
 * Enhanced Body: Before the time-skip, Peter already possessed an above-average level of physical strength, being able to break through dense wood and iron with his attacks. As a result of his training within the Shaolin Temple for three years, Peter's physical abilities were drastically increased. With his strength alone, Peter was able to crush a wooden club and break a pistol into pieces with one hand, launch people through the air with kicks and punches, break free from metal handcuffs, barely scale a fifty meter wall, flip a large table with a single kick, and split open parts of the ground with an axe kick. Peter's endurance was also enhanced, allowing him to even endure being thrown into a wall of concrete. His sense of balance was also greatly heightened, as shown when he traversed a wide river while balancing himself atop a single reed.

Equipment

 * Magic Sword: A magic sword's hilt that was given to Peter after his revival, which was intended to be a welcome-back gift from Nimrod Raven who found it in a Nigaboos military base in the Fourth Reich of Deutschland. It regulates Peter's magic output by absorbing his magic power while he is using his Intrinsic, allowing him to create a blade of fire, water, wood, earth, or metal, and prevent him from using his full power and going berserk. This sword was later destroyed during the Battle of the Wizard Realm.
