Theodore Peterson

"We all have our lot in life. I used to want to change the past, but you can't, can you? All you can do is build a new future. Can't make an omelet without breaking a few eggs, right?" - *theodore peterson*

Theodore
Theodore Peterson has a yellow shirt with rolled up sleeves. He wears black rubber gloves and black and white sneakers. He has a blue argyle pattern vest over his shirt and orange striped pants.

Theodore is muscular and strong. His hair is brown with some gray spots, and his eyes are green. He has a curled mustache and a red nose. His cheekbones are strong like his chin. He has a poorly shaven beard and a swirl on his chin. He is pale and has small ears.

In Hello Neighbor: Reset Day, Theodore looks older. While he has his regular clothes, he also has the Guest suit, which he wears most of the time.

Personality
In Hello Neighbor: Hide and Seek, we closely see the impact Mr. Peterson has on his children, and it all starts with the deadly crash. As the game goes on, Mr. Peterson continues to come down on his kids hard, Aaron most of all. That's because Mr. Peterson considers his son to be the source of his problems. He thinks Aaron is a "bad omen"- the reason why his countless theme parks have imploded.

How exactly did Mr. Peterson tell a whole town that he'd shipped his kids off to another state? More important, how did they believe him? Well, a huge part of it was putting on a normal front for the neighborhood.

Innocent people have nothing to hide, or so the theory goes. Following his children's disappearance, the Neighbor wandered around his property, taking out the trash and surveying his lawn, just like any other suburban dad.

The Missing Pieces
In 1995, Theodore's son befriended the kid across the street, Nicky Roth. One time Nicky came over for a sleepover and got into rooms he wasn't supposed to while looking for a glass of water and Theodore spooked him back to Aaron's room. Later, He and his wife leave to go to a store. Sadly, they get in a vehicle accident with a pizza truck and Diane gets injured. Theodore waits in the hospital until she eventually dies. His son got really mad and accidentally pushes his sister off the roof of the house while playing a game. Mya gets buried in the backyard. At Diane's funeral, Theodore was inside the house and he started having a breakdown. He locks Aaron in the basement to keep him from dying like Diane and Mya, and becomes extra unhinged.

Nicky's Waking Nightmare and the Neighbor's Buried Secrets
Theodore was searching the Golden Apple Amusement Park for scrap parts for his basement. He told the town that Aaron and Mya were with an Aunt Lisa in Minnesota. One day, while chopping up meat, he realized Nicky was in his house, due to the piece of tape left on the front door that moved. He walked up to the closet he suspected Nicky was in but his doorbell rang and it distracted him. Theodore's wife's phone book got stolen by Nicky and it turns out Nicky's friend bribed a mailman to ring the doorbell to save him. Theodore angrily went back to his work. Later, he entered Nicky's house and stole the phone book back. Half a year later, Theodore tried to frame Nicky by setting up random scenarios, and it worked. People weren't sure if Nicky was innocent, causing him to lose his friends. One night, Nicky entered Aaron's window, but Theodore figured out how he entered, and the next morning he chopped down the tree Nicky climbed.

Hello Neighbor
After a long time of working, Theodore realized Nicky broke into his basement. He locks the door back, trapping Nicky in. Using another entrance, he looks for Nicky and then he finds out Nicky wandered into his underground amusement park and welcomed him. The park resembled a prison, and Nicky was trapped. 2 months later, Aaron let Nicky out of the room, and he had to escape the house. Theodore attempted to chase Nicky across the street, but Aaron distracted him and Nicky got away.

Family
Mr. Peterson and his family moved from Germany to Raven Brooks in hope of escaping the past. They moved into the former home of Roger and Adelle Peterson (Ted's parents,) in 910 Friendly Court in 1991. Diane, his wife, is very outgoing. She easily made some friends in Raven Brooks and loves to cook for the family. Aaron, his son, was very introverted, being in middle school, liking to stay in the basement drawing what he felt like.

Besides being friends with Enzo, Trinity, and Maritza, Aaron was a loner, just like his sister Mya. Mya was in elementary school at the time. She became best friends with Maritza and Lucy Yi. However, when the storms and crows came back after they moved in, the Town thought the family was cursed. Aaron and Mya got bullied at school and Theodore lost some motivation in working on his park after people vandalized the rides.

In Hello Neighbor: Puzzle Master we learn that Theodore is helping Norman Darby hide the devices from the forest protectors to protect his family and prove his own innocence, like Aaron is also doing.

He found pieces of the devices in the wallet of the deceased Ike Gershowitz.

Hello Neighbor

 * The Neighbor in the Pre-Alpha is faster than the player, but the player can escape by using the shift key.
 * In Alpha 1, the Neighbor is slower than the player even when the player is walking. The slowest version of the Neighbor. He gets faster the more you get caught, though.
 * In Alpha 2, the Neighbor outruns the player even when the player is sprinting.
 * After Alpha 2, the Neighbor is almost the exact same speed as the player's run speed.
 * In the Full Game's Friendly Mode, the Neighbor is around the speed of the Pre-Alpha Neighbor.

As Theodore

 * SOON

As Guest

 * In the Hello Guest Prototype and Hello Guest Alpha, it is difficult to tell how fast the guest is, since he is never running when you are looking at him. He is about as fast as Quentin.


 * In Hello Neighbor 2 Alpha 1 and Alpha 1.5, the Guest moves slower, making it so Quentin can escape easily
