Of Note -


Personal Traits:
- Peter is generally friendly towards others.
- He loves tackling on new challenges in life as well as in his work.
- Since he was little, he took guitar lessons due to his mother's insistence; Peter stopped performing altogether and quit his rock 'n' roll band when he left Seattle to enter Starfleet Academy in 2375. Peter started to perform once again at the request of Leeta Gill in 2379.
- His mother's family is of Korean descent and mostly lives in Seoul, Korea- except for his mother who still lives in Seattle after moving there in April of the year 2355.
- Inadvertently, through his training in music he not only learned how to play in several genres of music, but also learned about the periods of history behind them. His mother some what encouraged him in the beginning to learn about her family history and Peter went farther from that starting place. He studied history of various cultures throughout high school, becoming a bona fide history buff.


Personality:
- Peter respects the authority of his superior officers and Starfleet; is also loyal to his comrades and his friends.
- Due to his strained relationships with his parents, Peter tends to be self-reliant but at the same time appreciates his ties to his close friends. Peter is still saddened that his mother forbids herself from speaking with him but chooses not to show that to others. The only one person who knows something about Peter's relationship with his mother is Leeta Gill, although even she does not know the whole truth. Peter's strained relationship with his father is due in part to Peter's upbringing, but this relationship has strengthened somewhat since Peter entered the academy. Nonetheless, Peter and his father's relationship regressed due to an argument months before his graduation. Leeta is more aware of Peter's relationship with his father because of a common acquaintance in her past that also knows Peter's father - her former CO, Captain Kellye Blake. Due to this fact, it seems that if Peter chooses, Leeta's 'connections' aboard her first assignment could mend his relationship with his father in the future.
- Is a realist.

All of his mother's relatives live in Korea and are so distant that Peter never knew them.


Personal History:
- Peter was born in Seattle on December 31, 2356. His parents Soon-Lee and Frank separated in the previous April. His father, Frank, was a Starfleet officer and his parents disagreed on what would be the best for Peter and their marriage. In the spring of 2355, Soon-Lee left Frank and returned to Earth, opting to reside in Seattle. As a result, Peter grew up in Seattle in his mother's care with her as his sole provider. In a few instances in Peter's childhood, Frank managed to visit Peter in Seattle up until Peter was thirteen - by then Frank had entered the command ranks and his career took precedence over anything else. Soon-Lee and Frank's divorce had not been finalized until Peter was twelve for various external reasons.
- As mentioned before, Soon-Lee was determined to raise Peter to be artistically inclined / musically gifted. Peter became a talented guitar player in his teenage years, and formed his own rock band, 'The Stoned Astronauts' - the band never made it big, maybe it was due to their name or lack of cohesion or what not. The Stoned Astronauts played regularly in their high school's auditorium, and after the members graduated from high school, they regularly played in local bars and nightclubs in downtown Seattle.
- Gradually as the nightclub performances drew on in early January of 2375, Peter grew apart from his band mates as they all seemed to be going in different directions. His drummer quit due to 'creative differences' only to start his own solo project a couple of days later. His bassist decided to get married, while his keyboard player wanted to become the main songwriter. Due to internal squabbling, Peter decided to quit his own band that he founded when he just did not have enough enthusiasm to continue. The Stoned Astronauts officially split up by mid January in the year of 2375.



Academy:
- Peter applied for SF academy and got in during late February of the year 2375. For various reasons, Soon-Lee was against Peter leaving to enter the academy . . . the last time Peter saw his mother was in February of that year when he left for San Francisco and entered into SF Academy. Within the month of March, communiqué's from his mother stopped coming altogether. Peter soon accepted this unfortunate turn of events and tried to focus on with his studies.
- Frank had visited Peter several times while Peter was a cadet. It seemed for a while that their relationship could be repaired, since they seemed somewhat amicable towards each other.
- Earned average grades in most subjects except for his history minors and his tactical major.
- Was excited when he received his assignment orders in March 2379, to come to Deep Space 15, as it was a new installation in an unclaimed area of space. Peter made friends easily at his new assignment, especially with the base's CCO, Leeta Gill, whom he started dating only a few days after arriving there. He and Leeta fell for each other by mid April and moved in with each other by late May of 2379. Peter recently proposed to Leeta in Septemeber of 2379.
