Peter Burke @ Omega Reality
Character at a Glance:
Name: Peter Burke
Nicknames: The Suit (only by Mozzie), Burke, Carlton Leed (alias)
Birthday: June 12, 1963
Sexuality: Straight
Fandom: White Collar
Current Occupation: FBI, Special Agent, White Collar Crime Unit in New York
Power: Microwave manipulation: The ability to convert ambient electromagnetic energy into microwaves and manipulate it into various effects such as heat, light, and radiation.
Appearance
Height: 6'3''
Build: Lean and muscled but not overly of either
Eyes: Brown
Hair: Brown
Distinguishing Marks: Nothing of note. There was this one time with a mustache, though Peter has done his best to erase all evidence of that mistake.
Other/general description: Peter has a fairly forgettable look about him, he blends in and he prefers it that way. It helps with his work, and he's never been the type to want to stand out in a crowd. He's perfectly content to live a life free of excitement. He is tall though, and some might even say good looking, he wears suits off the rack while he's working and prefers sweats and t-shirts when he's on his own time. He doesn't spend much time thinking about the way he looks since he devotes the majority of his energies to his work.
Family
Spouse/partner: Elizabeth Burke
children: None
Parents: Unknown
Siblings: Unknown
Other: Pets - Satchmo
Personality
Strengths: Honest, hard working, determined, Strong sense of responsibility
Weaknesses: He often gets caught up in his work, letting his home life suffer because of it
Likes: Deviled Ham sandwiches, sports, second chances
Dislikes: Corrupt special agents, coffee pots, fashion
Relevant backstory:
Peter grew up sure he would end up living the life of an accountant, it was his goal as he went to college and earned himself top marks in all his classes. What he hadn't expected was to have anyone take an interest in him, but a recruiter for the FBI did just that and changed his life forever.
Instead of a life filled with numbers and tax returns, Peter put his determination and steadfast desire to do things the right way to work for the FBI and through perseverance and long hours put in on cases over the years he worked his way up the totem pole to become a senior agent in the White Collar Crimes division.
Along the way, Peter met Elizabeth, and after he had her checked out (he had to make sure she wasn't dating anyone), he asked her out to dinner - and things simply fell into place after that. The two complemented each other perfectly and Peter couldn't have imagined a life that did not include Elizabeth in it - he often uses her as a sounding board for some of his more difficult cases, and Elizabeth always brought her unique insight to the discussion, forcing Peter to see things in a way he never would have considered otherwise.
Peter is most well known for his apprehension of Neal Caffrey, not just once but twice. It was after the second capture that Neal suggested to Peter a plan that would include releasing Caffrey from prison into the custody of the FBI to assist on other White Collar cases, and though he didn't trust Caffrey completely in the beginning even Peter couldn't deny that the other man's knowledge would be a great help to him. It took time, and Neal slipped up quite a bit during the short time they worked together, but Peter has grown to trust Neal and even care for him.
The situation with Kate and her subsequent murder have thrown a wrench into the otherwise very smooth sailing relationship Peter has been able to form with Neal and every day has it's own tests, but Peter is doing what he can to watch out for Neal and help him find the answers he deserves. All while balancing his own career and his relationship with Elizabeth which is changing even more now with the sudden take off of her business.
To put it simply, life is constantly changing for Peter Burke and he's just trying to keep everything afloat as best he can.
Backstory for the Omega Version of your character: : Peter's life was much the same in the Omega reality at least the growing up part. Unlike the real world Peter, Omega!Peter ended up actually living the life of an accountant. He was never approached while he was in school, and so he went on to get a degree in accounting.
He got a job with a finance firm right out of school, and never thought anything of it. He rose quickly and efficiently through the ranks until he earned himself a corner office, and the head of the accounting division. He pulls in seven figures every year, and keeps a high rise penthouse apartment in New York. Omega!Peter us used to the finer things, and is more than content with his life. He never married, more than happy with the relationships he has from time to time, with both women and men.
