Description
Meet Peppermint Pete, the most well-known individual in the Otherworld. Why ? Well, for starters he's the owner and CEO of his candy factory, "Peppermint Pete's Emporium of Sweets". It's a magical place where all sorts of candy is made and shipped out. Pete deliberately set up his factory in the Otherworld because it was a place where only a few people were willing to tread, and Pete has had issues in the past with previous locations. Pete is a generally happy fellow, and his employees typically enjoy their work. Of course, Pete has a dark side as well that only a few select individuals are aware of...

Name: Peppermint Pete
Nicknames: "Mr. Peppermint", "The Candy Man"
Age: 39
Birthday: December 24th
Species: Peppermint Man
Classification: Unknown
Height: 6'1 ft
Weight: 124 lbs
Gender: Male

Occupation: Candy Factory Owner, CEO
Likes: Soda, Women, Efficiency, Solitude.
Dislikes: Jack, Guilo, Children, His daily routine.
Fears/Phobias: Pete's fears are a mystery...
Strengths: Pete is a successful entrepreneur, but that's really it.
Weaknesses: Pete, despite his happy appearance, is actually prone to bouts of depression, anxiety, and utter misery. He's a sodaholic (Soda affects candy beings like Alcohol affects humans.), and constantly strikes out when it comes to picking up women, which causes him to fall into an even deeper state of depression. Pete dreads his daily routine, and longs for the day that the cycle is broken. This cycle wears him down, and he's been doing it for so long that it's become the only thing he knows...

Interesting Facts:
- Pete's design has changed for 2016. He now has small tufts of hair at the back of his head, wears a vest, has 4 fingers instead of his original 3, and has been tweaked to look a little more professional without looking as over the top as he used to.

- Pete is constantly battling with his inner demons, but despite this, he's extremely good at keeping up a facade of being happy.

- Pete gives daily tours at his factory. This is a reference to Willy Wonka (the original, not the one with Johnny Depp).

- The name of Pete's factory is a reference to Willy Wonka, as well as Mr. Magorium's Wonder Emporium. Though I've never seen the latter, part of the name worked extremely well for Pete's factory name.

- Jack used to work for Pete. He was a candy taster. His job was originally to taste candy batches to ensure they were the correct mixture of flavors. Jack eventually lost his mind due to the daily sugar intake, and ended up bailing entirely. Pete now has an antagonistic relationship with Jack, as Jack is always stealing Pete's candy, and never pays for it. Pete is also envious of Jack's freedom to come and go as he pleases...

- Pete had another employee, Guilo. He used to be Pete's financial consultant, but one day during a tour, Guilo (who was made of gum) had a part of his head chewed by one of the kids in the tour group. Guilo flipped out, and attacked the kid. Despite being Pete's right hand man, Guilo was terminated and has sworn revenge on Pete ever since that day...

- Pete's birthday is December 24th, Christmas Eve. He absolutely despises Christmas, probably due to the fact that he's open on both the 24th and 25th, much to his chagrin. Why can't he just close both days ? There's a greater force at work here, that compels him to subject himself to this torture, but he doesn't know how to break free...

- Pete oftentimes hides in his office, curls up underneath his desk, and simply stares blankly at one of the walls. He does this as a way to calm himself down.
