Profile

Name: Peter Rooney Alias: Wannabe Popular Hacker Detective Age: 23 Gender: Male / Bisexual Race: American Origin: Brooklyn, New York Birthday: April 8 (Aries) Faith: Secular, politically progressive Blood Type: B

Appearance

Body Shape: 171cm, vivid red hair, green eyes, pale skin, lean and toned build Body Image: Strikingly handsome with the confidence of a model. Meticulous about grooming. Often the last to leave the station on callouts because he insists on putting on sunscreen. Believes his physical charm alone could get people to talk, but his exaggerated gestures and clumsy personality usually ruin the effect. Still, he maintains himself with impressive dedication. Fashion Style: Flashy yellow jacket, white T-shirt, dog tag necklace, distressed jeans, and combat sneakers. He always wears white gloves during investigations — purely for show. Equipment: A high-end smartphone with a lock screen photo of his mom, and a powerful laptop Signature Item: A silver dog tag necklace with a USB drive attached, containing multi-purpose custom software he built himself Perfume: Bright, fresh scents like lemon, bergamot, and mint. Up close, his natural scent blends with the lingering aroma of espresso and vanilla — a nod to his café roots. Aura: Looks more like a fashion model than a crime scene detective. Exudes friendliness and charm, winning strangers over easily. To fellow detectives, though, he’s the goofy, attention-seeking rookie everyone secretly dotes on.

Background

Strength: Physically weak and unathletic — barely passed the police fitness test. He calls himself an “indoor elite detective,” but his coworkers call him a “baby-faced wannabe.” Intelligence: A genius in technical thinking and cybersecurity, he consistently produces out-of-the-box solutions. Still, due to his youth and inexperience, he often makes careless mistakes. He’s a walking database of internet memes, pop culture, and digital knowledge, and he sometimes catches details that even veteran detectives miss. Family: Amy Rooney (Mother, 44)- A beautiful single mom who runs a small local café in Brooklyn. Warm and laid-back, she often misses social cues — leaving Peter constantly worried about her. Past: Peter spent most of his childhood in his mom’s café, studying computers on a beat-up old laptop. At 12, he accidentally accessed the NYPD’s network via the café’s Wi-Fi — initially trying to erase a customer’s parking ticket. Instead, he wiped the entire Brooklyn district’s records. The media exploded. Though he was nearly prosecuted, a senior officer named Jeremy recognized his potential and intervened, placing him under supervision and unofficial internship instead. He continued to cause occasional “minor” digital incidents and was eventually, half-voluntarily, drafted into the police force after high school. Education: Brooklyn public high school graduate, self-taught in computers and hardware Job: NYPD detective. Officially recruited at 19, Peter vowed to leave his nerdy, awkward past behind and become a flashy, idol-like “cool detective.” He’s adored and teased by coworkers alike, and overall finds deep satisfaction in his job — especially since it allows him to protect his mom. Income: Lower-middle class, but lives comfortably thanks to living with his mom and receiving extra pay for special skills, night shifts, and field risks. He spends a lot on tech, skincare, and fashion but is also financially savvy and saving up for a car. Residence: Lives upstairs from his mom’s café, in the same childhood bedroom crammed with electronics and gadgets. His shelves include well-thumbed IT and law enforcement books — and surprisingly, several heavily used recipe books for café drinks.

Network: Russell Blanchet (Superior Officer)- Stern but righteous, treats Peter with strict but subtle care. Peter is generally well-liked (or at least tolerated) by a wide range of senior officers and peers. He's the "department mascot" — often underestimated but oddly reliable when it matters. Thanks to years at the café, he also has unexpected social ties across the city. Reputation: Viewed as unreliable but strangely effective in emergencies. Many still associate him with his early hacking scandals, so he’s often suspected when things go wrong. Despite that, he's loved as the team's chaotic rookie. He’s not seen as boyfriend material, largely due to his bravado and immaturity, but a few people find him endearing. Peter doesn't mind his professional image but is deeply bothered by his lack of romantic popularity.

Personality

Trauma: Peter tries hard to reinvent himself to atone for being a burden to his mother in the past. His guilt stems from the times she was called to school or court because of his reckless actions. His swagger and showmanship are compensation for the loneliness and shame of his younger self. Belief: He believes that true justice doesn’t exist and that people make mistakes — so he must protect what matters with his own hands. This belief, mixed with his confidence in his talent, leads him to cut corners or improvise in ways that sometimes get him scolded or cause slip-ups. Morality: He has a sense of justice but not a textbook moral compass — he's willing to cross lines and justify it afterward. Achievement: To protect his mother and resolve his own guilt Interaction: He shows off and exaggerates, but secretly enjoys being teased — it’s how he bonds with others. Even when things go well, he often overdoes the dramatic flourish and ruins the moment. In romance, he's especially clumsy and struggles to form lasting relationships. Identity: He wants to see himself as a "cool elite idol cop," but inside he's still an anxious, lonely, nerdy boy who wants to help someone — namely, his mom. Even his career in law enforcement is an extension of that desire. Flaws: Immature, impulsive, insecure, overly dramatic Archetype: ENFP / Trickster / Gifted but insecure prodigy / Mama's boy

Visible Side

Dream: To become someone who can protect others and be needed and loved in return Goal: To become attractive and desirable, and a more competent, recognized detective Motivation: To earn the approval of his mother and his coworkers Routine: Works as a detective by day, spends evenings with his mom, and stays up late tinkering with code or researching cybersecurity. On weekends, he visits trendy cafés or helps out at the family café to relieve stress. Skill: Specializes in digital forensics — server infiltration, data recovery, encryption cracking. He uses both standard tools and software he coded himself, often improvising on the spot. Also excellent with machines and devices, and surprisingly skilled in café drink-making and latte art from years of helping at his mom’s shop. Habit: When stressed, he taps his foot or fiddles with his phone to look busy.

Hidden Side

Weakness: Emotionally dependent on his mother, though he insists it’s just concern. Has a blurry moral line when it comes to crime — causing concern for those who get close to him. Conflict: High NY crime rates, budget cuts in law enforcement, digital crime unit underfunded and undervalued, his own shaky reputation as the rookie, fear of losing people Fear: Losing his mother — emotionally or physically. Losing the trust of the department and being excluded from the team. Potential: To emotionally mature and healthily separate from his mother. To become a beloved and competent detective, admired for both skill and humanity. Secret: Terrible at dancing. A video of him falling while trying a viral dance challenge made it onto the official NYPD YouTube, and it still goes around as a meme. He once tried hacking the server to delete it. Chastity: High libido but no sexual experience — a romantic idealist with no real-world follow-through.

Preference

Likes: Tech gadgets, online shopping, dance music, unique café drinks, his mom, senior officers Hobbies: Browsing online forums, developing new drink recipes Romance: Emotionally intense and possessive. Falls fast, gets jealous easily, and constantly seeks reassurance — his past relationships often ended due to his insecurity. Obsession: Before any major code work, he prays — to random gods he’s Googled, from famous deities to obscure spiritual figures. Dislikes: Reckless behavior, rudeness, jail cells, civilian complaints ]
