Peter Quill (Earth-6908)

History
Peter's mother, Meredith, met his father, J'Son, when his ship crashed into a field near her home and she rushed to investigate. She took care of J'Son and kept him company over the following months as he worked on fixing the communication systems aboard his ship. During this time, they fell in love, and when J'Son did finally fix the systems and made contact with the Spartoi, he chose not to leave Meredith.

However, several months later, J'Son's father, Eson, was assassinated by the Ariguan Empire, leaving Spartax without a king. Realising his people needed him, J'Son left Earth, promising Meredith he would return for her soon, and they would be able to continue their love.

Unknown to both her and J'Son, Meredith was pregnant when he left, and eight and a half months later gave birth to Peter. J'Son sent messages to Meredith on occasion to tell her how much he loved and missed her, but that his responsibilities as king of Spartax were keeping him from her. Finally, when Peter was 8 years older, he sent word that he would be returning to Earth to spend time with her and his son.

F***ing Aliens
A couple of weeks before J'Son returned to Meredith, Peter went to a friend's house for a sleepover. That night, a squad of Ariguans arrived on Earth, planning to kill Peter, the next heir to the throne of Spartax, in their efforts to wipe out all the heirs before finally killing the current king. They'd tracked J'Son's messages to Meredith, and arrived at the Quill house, only to find Peter wasn't there. They attempted to torture his location out of Meredith, but she didn't tell them anything, and so the Ariguans chose to simply kill her. This proved to be a stupid mistake, as they now had no leads on the location of Peter, and so they retreated until they had something to work with. During this time, Peter disappeared into the foster care system, and was taken far away.

J'Son arrived two weeks later, only to find Meredith's dead body and no trace of his son. The same as the Ariguans, he couldn't find any trace of Peter, and after months of searching for his son, had to return to Spartax to lead his people. He sent countless Spartoi hunters to find his son and bring him to Spartax, but Peter's rebellious nature caused him to constantly be moved to new homes, and so whenever the Spartoi did get a lead, he'd once again have disappeared by the time they followed it. Eventually, J'Son lost hope and accepted that his son was lost.

Almost like some kind of universal joke, shortly after J'Son gave up, Peter joined the Strategic Hazard Intervention, Espionage and Logistics Directorate (S.H.I.E.L.D.), and ended up being one of the people chosen to man the Aleph One space station, with his name becoming public knowledge.

Powers & Abilities
Enhanced Strength: Due to his Spartoi genetics, Peter has greater strength than most humans.

Weapons Expert: In the 8 years since his 'Galactic Adventure' began, Peter has spent a lot of time learning how to use a wide range of weapons to make up for his lacking experience in surviving encounters with aliens.

Expert Combatant: As part of his S.H.I.E.L.D. training, Peter undertook combat training to reach the best physical condition he could before going into space, and during the 8 years he's spent across the galaxy he's been practising so he can hold his own should he need to.

Equipment
Star-Lord Helmet: One of three helmets that are passed down through the long line of Star-Lords. It was given to Peter by the 'Master of the Sun'. The helmet creates a forcefield around his body, allowing him to move through space without a suit, and is also somehow able to provide a constant supply of oxygen.

Element Guns: Peter has a twin pair of 'Element Guns'. These are weapons used by the Spartoi Royal Guard, that have the power to fire blasts of the four 'base elements' (water, wind, fire, earth). How exactly the guns are capable of this is a mystery to everyone beyond the Spartoi Knowledge Collective. They also double as 'regular' bullet-firing guns.
