Character Name: Peter Jason Quill - Star Lord
Canon: MCU / Guardians of the Galaxy
Canon Information: MCU - wiki
Canon Point: End of Avengers: Endgame
Age: 38 years old
God Houses:
Odin: Because Peter was kidnapped from Earth at the age of 8, he had no chance to finish school, learn proper History or a lot of important basic information such as certain vocabulary or geography. He's not the brightest but that lack of knowledge is what makes him more aware of how words can win over and manipulate people, so he uses his emotional intelligence. He has street-smarts and he's quick-witted, he thinks so outside the box they're not even in the same room and it's exactly that what makes it easy for him to come up with crazy impossible plans on the fly and somehow making them work.
Honir: If there's something Peter loves that's exploring the galaxy and trying new things. The stars are his home. He thrives on adventures and being on the move, full of wanderlust, making himself useful and meeting all sorts of interesting people...who might or might not always end adopted into the Guardians' dysfunctional family.
Personality:
Peter started, by his own admission, as a dick. Mostly justified by his formative years spent with a group of intergalactic outlaws, he was a con artist and a petty criminal. He looked after himself and cared little about his actions affected others, even to the point of forgetting that his latest fling was still in his ship when he left to steal a mysterious artifact.
Regardless of that, he was never needlessly cruel or destructive unless there was no other way to save himself, preferring to stun and knock out his enemies rather than outright kill them. When he learned that the fate of the Galaxy was at a stake due to the Power Stone, Peter was willing to give it back to the Nova Corps even if that meant being arrested. When push came to shove, he chose to do the right thing, team up with a very particular group of individuals that became his newfound family, and to better himself.
The Guardians aren't the most conventional heroes nor is Peter always the ideal personification of a team leader. He has charisma and he managed to convince a group of outlaws to join him in defending Xandar against Ronan's forces but he also gets into petty arguments, can be extremely emotional, egoistical, sarcastic and very immature. At the same time, some of his best qualities are Peter's compassion and empathy. He has a good sense of humor, he's an incurable flirt, and he will defuse a situation with words rather than violence if that's an option--as shown when he convinced Drax not to kill Gamora in prison shortly after they all met and didn't even like each other.
When he was little, because he never got to meet his birth father, Peter made up stories about him and what the man was doing. All he wanted was a proper family and didn't realize back then he already had one due to Yondu Udonta being an emotionally constipated violent criminal with an odd way of showing that he cared. Peter thought that the Ravagers seriously considered eating him and it wasn't until Yondu sacrificed his life to save him that Peter realized he already had a father figure in his life.
In spite of all that, he's a laid-back guy who can make jokes about everything, admires pop culture from the 70-80s and loves to dance. His passion for music is an extension of Peter's deep love for his deceased mother. She was the one who introduced him to it and he cherishes the tapes she left her to the point of not leaving the Klyn prison without his Walkman.
He likes fun, and he likes pushing life's limits as well as his own, wander the galaxy and meet new people. Sometimes he plays dumb to deceive people, has his own particular moral code, and is far more skilled one would realize at first sight. He's learned from criminals to use any means at his advantage in a fight, aware that he's not that well suited for melee combat, thinking outside the box and turning into a pragmatic combatant. He takes pride in his piloting abilities, arguing with Rocket about who's the best at it even as they're being chased by a small army.
When his emotions don't get the best of him, Peter can be a great team player. He can defend himself in a fight but more often than not, his role it's to hold off the enemy by being a distraction. He confused Ronan with a ridiculous dance-off until Rocket repaired the Hadron Enforcer to fire it at him, he held off Ego long enough for the bomb to be put in the Celestial's brain, and he worked with Stephen Strange and Tony Stark to trap Thanos and separate him from the Gauntlet in the battle of Titan.
Peter is very protective about his friends and loved ones, resulting in outburst of rage and foolish reactions when somebody hurts them. He tried to keep his feelings in check and was really embarrassed when Mantis brought it up but he developed romantic affections for Gamora and he would go to great lengths to honor those feelings. That includes promising to kill (and later trying to) the woman he loves before Thanos can use her to find the Soul Stone.
A lot of heroes might be motivated by the wish to do what's right (like Captain America), fear (Ironman) or their responsibilities (Thor). Peter Quill is motivated by love. The set of principles that usually guide his actions, both heroic and foolish, are caused by his love for those around him, his need to open up to others and protect them. Is that love what motivated him to save the universe, helped Peter tap into his celestial powers, and it's the reason why he didn't care about giving those up and being like everyone else.
His skills are that of a common criminal but it’s Peter's heart that makes him a hero.

God Houses:
Note: Due to what Ego did to him and the mistrust it created against God-like entities, plus the guilt he feels about the battle of Titan, Peter will refuse to choose a God ic-ly even after knowing that it could kill him (again). Because he's an idiot.
Tyr: Peter started as a selfish thief who only looked after himself but his compassionate and empathetic nature made itself more obvious as the guardians encountered more and more hardships. He saved Gamora in Jail, was willing to bring the Power stone to the Nova Corps, gave up his celestial powers in order to stop his megalomaniac father... If he can solve a conflict talking rather than fighting, he's all for it, but if that's not an option he's the first person ready to take risks.Odin: Because Peter was kidnapped from Earth at the age of 8, he had no chance to finish school, learn proper History or a lot of important basic information such as certain vocabulary or geography.
