Name:

Pete

Aliases:

Pete n VB ("n VB" - stands for "and voice box"), The Great Vigilante

Gender:

Male

Species:

Darkner, Pull-string Cowboy Doll

Profession:

Cowboy Performer, Actor

Appearance:

Pete stands at 6'7", cutting an imposing figure of an old-time cowboy doll brought to life. His head bears the texture of aged, hand-painted vinyl, slightly faded with fine cracks and a dull gloss from years of wear. A wide, fixed grin stretches across his face, framed by a very long curved handlebar mustache that extends dramatically outwards. His eyes are distinctively pie-eyed, giving him a perpetual wide, cartoon-like expression. His head is adorned with black strands of molded black hair shaped into a long, shaggy mullet that curls slightly at the ends. He stands tall and confident, walking with the steady composure of a gunslinger who has seen it all. His shoulders stay broad, his arms hang slightly back and wide apart, always ready to reach for his revolver.

From his back hangs a pull string attached to his Voice Box. Seemingly at will, he can summon from inside him a large separate head with a cracked face, its neck spitting out green cords linked to Pete’s back, its mismatched eyes glowing faintly - one yellow and one pink. When anger takes over, Pete’s cheerful facade darkens; his face loses what little color it already has, his eyes fade into shadow, and his grin twists into an unsettling scowl.

Clothing:

Pete wears a wide-brimmed black hat casting a deep shadow over the upper half of his face. A dark shirt rests beneath a gray cropped vest, both worn yet neatly kept. Around his waist sits a weathered leather belt with a round silver buckle and a holster carrying his trusted revolver. His long black trousers are tucked into scuffed cowboy boots, each fitted with faintly jingling spurs that rattle softly with every step.

Behaviour:

Pete carries himself like the larger-than-life cowboy hero he once portrayed. He walks tall, speaks loud, and acts with the confidence of a performer who never forgot his lines. Though his manner is friendly and theatrical, every word drips with old-fashioned bravado. He greets strangers with a wide grin and folksy charm, tipping his hat and calling them partner, as if still performing for children gathered around a black-and-white television. Yet beneath the showmanship lies something broken and manic. Pete is literally a puppet - a cowboy doll, every word comes from the Voice Box, the real mind behind the facade, the “Friend Inside”. Together they function as one and because of that link, Pete can sense when others are being controlled by SOULs, and when he does, he speaks directly to the SOUL within, ignoring the host entirely.

He continues to play the role of the righteous vigilante because that is what his creator wanted. Outwardly, he is chivalrous, humorous, and bold, but when anger or doubt take hold, his painted face darkens, his eyes vanish into shadow, and his grin twists into something almost lifeless. In those moments, the charming performer disappears, leaving only the avenger who believes that justice and vengeance are one and the same. Even after everything, Pete remains an incredible actor. He never drops his role unless it no longer serves him. Every movement and line feels rehearsed, yet beneath the surface burns genuine emotion, grief, guilt, and the faint hope of freedom. For Pete, life is still a stage, but the show has turned into a crusade. Vengeance may be his mission, but liberation is his final act.

Combat Abilities:

Revolver – Pete’s signature weapon. His final bullet is always a big green one; according to him, he packs extra black powder into the chamber and dyes the round green so he knows which one is “the big shot.” Boot – Pete can kick off his boot, releasing a large snake hidden inside. The snake lashes out at nearby targets, biting or spraying venom before slithering back. Cowboy Minions – When summoned, small cowboy minions appear to assist Pete, firing their pistols in short bursts before vanishing in a puff of dust. Voice Box – Pete can release his Voice Box, which attacks by firing projectile letters that spell out words like “YEEHAW” or “FRIEND INSIDE ME.” Dynamite – Pete pulls sticks of dynamite from his pockets and hurls them toward enemies, laughing as they explode in bright flashes. Tap Dance – When Pete starts tap dancing, sparks burst from his boots, sending fiery projectiles flying in every direction. Wooden Prop Horse – Pete can summon his wooden steed to ride on it.

Traits/Trivia:

  • Pete has a short attention span and is easily distracted. When he's drawn away, he becomes vulnerable to adversaries or pacification by empty his revolver's cylinder.
  • Pete's greyscale, monochrome colour scheme is a direct reflection of the original broadcasts of his show, which aired exclusively in black-and-white television sets.
  • When Pete draws his revolver, the hammer clicks before he even aims - a habit ingrained from rehearsing duels on set, long before he ever fired a real bullet.
  • Pete is self-aware that he is merely a cartoon character designed to act in a children's show, and that his purpose does not extend beyond this fact. He actively accepts it and embraces it out of reverence for his creator.
  • Pete's attacks and interactions all feature old, stock cartoon sound effects such as ZING, BONK, WHIZZ, SPLAT, PEW and ZAP sounding off mid action. Like cartoons, the effects can be heard by everyone.
  • Pete's voicebox is capable of playing sounds besides his voice, including classic cartoon slide whistles, needle scratches, and record static when he's feeling particularly dramatic or theatrical.
  • Pete is capable of temporary transformation for cartoonish effect - for example his head turns into a train whistle when angry, or his mouth opens even wider to dish out insults.
  • Pete has a lazy eye. When he doesn’t notice, his right eye wanders independently.
  • Pete uses his pull string as his lasso, using it against opponents or catching weapons or objects with a sharp TINK of the string snapping taut.

Backstory:

Pete was created a very long time ago during the age of black and white television as the star of a children’s cartoon, “Pete n VB: The Great Vigilante.” The show followed the heroic cowboy Pete as he brought justice to the town of Pride Wood, spreading moral lessons with cheerful bravado. It ran for twenty-eight episodes and was meant to end with a grand finale titled “Destiny Awaits.” However, the finale was abruptly cancelled, and the show was pulled from broadcast. Pete’s creator fell into despair after the show’s failure, believing his life’s work had been wasted, and with it... the show fell into obscurity and the sands of time. Pete was left to rot all by himself for nearly a century.

When the TV World Dark World formed out of Asgore's old VHS tape sitting forgotten under the television in the Dreemurr Residence, what was supposed to be a new lease of life turned into the reliving of a nightmare. Pete manifested from an old voicebox torn out from a toy long forgotten. Pete barely got to exist before once more he, his set and his creator's legacy were discarded and cancelled by Tenna for being old timey and outdated. Pete was devastated - equal parts by the rejection and his diehard loyalty absording his creator's grieffrom having his show cancelled all these decades ago. Bitter and dejected, Pete did not hesitate to take up the Shadow Crystal offered by the Knight - the crystal granting him forbidden knowledge and awareness beyond his world. Vowing to avenge the creator he called Father and craving revenge against the TV World and the Lightners that had discarded them both - Pete realized he was never real - but he was content with his purpose as a tool. Now aware of the new world lying beyond the screen; a new sense of purpose emerged for Pete. To grasp this world of freedom - and to bring the final chapter of his show to a close.

Destiny Awaits.
