BACKGROUND:
History
PERSONALITY:

Peter Pan is not exactly the most well behaved boy. In fact, he's more like a demon. Mischievous, cunning and perhaps one of the few most evil practitioners of magic that has lived. The first thing to know about Peter is that he's not actually a boy, but, a man who became a boy by abandoning his child for youth. This first act screams about what Peter Pan is really like.

Selfish. Peter has shown that he is largely self involved. Everything that he does is in the mindset of "What do I gain from this? What's the benefit for me?" He doesn't think of other people when he makes his decisions just what's good for him. He kidnapped children to an island to have a group of friends (or minions) so he'd be less alone in Neverland and to find a special boy who would sacrifice their heart to him so he would become truly immortal. He doesn't care who he hurts so long as his needs are met. As evident when he casually writes off Henry's death like state after the boy surrendered his heart to Peter as "well he gave it of his own free will." He even rips out and crushes the heart of his right hand man to enact the dark curse that would essentially the thing he desired most, eternal youth.

Peter Pan has a tendency to mentally and emotionally (and sometimes physically) attack others. He gets a thrill out of it, for all honesty's sake. Dishing out harsh words that he knows will bound to conflict or hurt his victims. His cruelty is direct and pointed unlike a child's. He will look for and say things that he knows will bound to injure others. Sometimes he doesn't even use his words. He just does things like dropping Rumple a painful reminder of who left him. He enjoys watching those he loathes or even just his play things in pain or suffering. He chooses his words with care but they're quick and direct usually causing most who speak with him fall into silence at the painful fears and truths he dishes out to them.

Pan does quite like his fun, whether it be torturing people or just bonfire dances. He's a boy who likes action, who doesn't want things to stay stagnant. Everything is a game to him and everyone who's involved in his game is a piece in his fun. Even when Henry's family shows up to Neverland to save Henry, Peter does not see this as a complication just a challenge. He's confident he'll win but the added addition of someone trying to rescue his prisoner gives the boy a thrill. He takes enjoyment from just keeping Henry away from them and dangling that fact over their heads when he can.


The boy is known to be a terror and a devil. Having inspired quite a lot of fear into all his Lost Boys he was capable of making them do whatever he wished. Pan has also shown to be quite ruthless, especially where his lackeys are concerned. In the case of Greg and Tamara, when they refused his Lost Boys to give them Henry, he had his shadow kill Greg instantly and let his Lost boys shoot Tamara. His ruthless nature even extends to family. Regardless of whatever family ties he has with people he's willing to do cruel acts towards his own flesh and blood or innocents. Examples being stuffing his own child inside a box that they could never escape, plotting to curse them and an entire town to misery and forgetfulness.

Pan is a manipulator. He partakes in bullying, blackmail, lies, promises and death threats in order to get the things he wishes. No level of evil is beyond him if it means getting others to do what he wishes. He threatened the two Darling boys to go and find him the child he needed by keeping their sister hostage. He tried to make Rumple turn and leave Neverland by going at the man's worst fears and insecurities so the one person who could stop him wouldn't be a threat. Even promising Hook that he could leave his island with Emma if the pirate came back to work with him. He will cut deals with people if need be but always coming with some kind of catch. Either way, when he needs something from somebody there's nothing he won't do to to get it.

Charming. Peter Pan can act quite charming and friendly when he wants to be. Of course, this is just an act. Earlier on in his career of kidnapping children to a magical Island, boys wanted to be around him. They came because of the music but he offered them something they felt they didn't have. Friendship and love. He's capable of being drawing people to him, at least when he wants them to be. He can give encouragement and kind words to anybody to bolster them and make them warm up to him. Of course, this is not from kindness. This is to get something from them, carefully putting a person on a desired path he wishes. The largest example of this being Henry, how he managed to trick the boy into believing that Henry was the only one to save Neverland and if the boy didn't everyone would die.

And the best trick a con man can have? Acting. When Henry first meets Pan, Pan acts like a frightened boy also on the run from Peter Pan as well and successfully won Henry over that very moment (up until he let it be known that he was in fact Pan.) He can play any part he needs to fit into. Sympathetic, caring, kind, heroic. All these roles he seems to have mastered, at least from what we see from Henry's perspective. Pan slips into a role or a a lie seamlessly and is completely believable to those who aren't familiar or wary of him. Huge examples of this were with Henry as he managed to make the boy believe that Pan's goal was to save Neverland's magic so that the residents living there wouldn't die (while in fact he was merely trying to save himself).
POWER:

Semi Eternal youth/Immortality - Canon, though Rumple kind of destroyed that when he killed Peter Pan and made the boy revert to his real form, Peter will regain it back in MoM. It's been said that he's ridiculously hard to kill as the only person who could kill him was the Dark one himself and that's only if they sacrificed their life to end Peter's. Peter will never age in game and he will be hard to kill. Only beings as powerful or more powerful than him can end his life with enough power (so IE someone like Satan or Billy Kaplan could beat him.)

Magic - Canon. Peter Pan has lived centuries and has practiced magic as well as being fuelled by Neverland's inherent power to know a good chunk about it as well as using it. OUAT magic is hard to pin down as to what it can do but the general rule is All magic comes with a price. These are the things Peter has shown he can do in canon:
1.Teleportation - moving from place to place with a blink of an eye, distance not given but he can teleport all over an island so it must be a large range.

2. Telekinesis - Throwing people with a wave of his hand.

3.immobilization - A single sweep of his hand and he froze several people at once, unable to talk, move or do anything.

4. Super human reflexes - Peter pan has caught arrows in flight inches away from his chest. 

5.Conjuration/Enchanting - Peter Pan can conjure food right out of nowhere, making new sets of clothes, enchanting pieces of paper to reveal maps if a person admits to who they really are and a pan pipes that can be heard from far away, but, only by people who feel lost and unloved. 

6. Compulsion/Suggestion - a bit of head canon on this one, but, when Peter plays his pipes to those who hear it their worries and fears seem to disappear like with Henry joining in at the circle. Also it could be that the sound of the pipes compelled the boys that heard it to follow the music. This part of his magic will only relate to when he's playing his music and only to lead people to him and to make them have fun. He can't compel them with the pipes to go and stab someone.

7. Pyrokinesis - While he doesn't throw fire balls around, Peter Pan has shown he can relight fires with just a snap of his fingers.

8. Barriers - Shown that he can create a shield no one can pass if they have a shadow. 

9.Taking hearts - Peter Pan knows the spell that physically can rip hearts out of people's chests without them dying. He can either enchant someone's hand to do it or do it himself. This brand of magic tends to allow the person holding the heart control the victim and make them do whatever the holder wishes. If the heart is crushed or the entire thing is given to another the person dies. Peter will not be ripping people's hearts out all willy nilly and definitely will have permissions attached to it.


10. Wards - This part is a bit headcanon but, it's been mentioned that Peter Pan would put protection around his camp when the rescue party came for Henry to stop them from just teleporting into the camp. Anyone attempting to just poof in or enter the camp the wrong way would die. Only those knowing the way in can bypass the wards or if Pan willingly decides to open the way. Of course, it's likely to surmise someone could just break his wards or go through unharmed if they were powerful enough (like with Rumple invading Peter's camp with Neal). 

As for the price, the cost of magic doesn't always have to be on the user themselves. So, Peter's price to continually use his magic is to sacrifice the heart of another person every 3 months on a full moon and breathing in the ashy contents. He'll likely target NPCs in this case. If it needs to be further specific it can be the heart of a child.

Essentially, magic in OUAT is treated up as if you can imagine it, you can probably do it (so long as it doesn't break the fundamental laws of magic like bringing back the dead, making someone fall in love with you and turning back time...even than though there are ways around the laws). You just need to be willing to pay the cost of it depending on what it is. Most things don't have a visible price (ie like telekinesis or throwing fire balls). Larger, more complex spells like the dark curse or Peter Pan's youth have a price attached to it, like sacrificing the thing you love most or the youth being only temporary and then dying. There are ways around said prices but it's usually something else that just replaces the cost (like Peter Pan trying to kill Henry in order to circumvent the price of his youth.)

Weakness sensing -  Non-canon, Peter has shown that he knows a lot about things. Facts, things that hurt. He knows just where to cut into with his words to make someone hurt or when to use the weakness to draw someone closer to him. Essentially, Peter will gain the power to read people's most darkest fears/weakest part of themselves. He will know what hurts (be it people, fears, their shortcomings, failures ect) them if he physically gets close to them. Permissions will be needed for this ability though.
 

〈 CHARACTER SAMPLES 〉
COMMUNITY POST (VOICE) SAMPLE:
Test drive 2
LOGS POST (PROSE) SAMPLE:
A stab of pain in his back as he feels all his power burns and boils into the air. His youth slipping away, taken by the one who grasped and clawed everything away from him. His hatred for Rumple only intensified with his last moments of life and then...the pain faded, knitting the knife wound close. Then he's standing, alive and breathing in a dark room with strangers around him. It takes moments for his senses to come back to him, the disorientation leaving him. He listens to the explanation given to him, chosen hero to help the world and Pan feigns interest. A file handed to him and he's on his way into the world.

He watches the people pass by, a wicked smile spreading on his face. A second chance at life and at his eternal youth. His file said as such and he has waved his hands to test his magic which was in tact. Oh, oh yes this was only going up. His curse may have failed to avoid the cost of his eternal youth but he could at least gain satisfaction in Rumple's failure at ending Pan's life. Still, he needed to be sure his youth and power would not be stolen from him again. This world had been all too accommodating to give him the tools he needed to reestablish himself. 

His first agenda, making sure he wasn't thrown back out of this land and into the jaws of death once more. He knew this would have to sit on the back burner, he needed new information, loyal minions and perhaps an ally or two. Pan knew he could attain all of this. Pan never failed after all. He just looked upon all the faces before him, his thoughts turning dark and wicked thoughts. Why should he cared if he destroyed some of these lives in the process to keep his youth? They were just steps, steps to his own dreams and wishes. 

Still, he needed to be wary. Those people who brought him here mentioned that he was to be a hero for this world. He had no intention of serving and protecting he could cast a guess that others were in that business. Peter Pan had enough of heroes meddling in his affairs and spoiling his well thought out plans and merriment. The boy god had a fresh start now, to plan and to deceive in secret. He would build the imPorts trust in him up so no one would suspect the things he would sow. People keep passing and he looks to them all, his smile wider than ever.

And then he vanishes in an instant. Off to some distant forest in the outskirts of this city to start over. To rebuild a New Neverland.
FINAL NOTES: Just a heads up to the mods, Peter Pan would likely start trying to induct/kidnap NPC children (who feel lost or unloved or just want adventure) into his army of new Lost Boys between the ages will range from ages 7 to 17. I just wanted to make sure this would be okay considering his character and if there's a limit on how many NPC children he can get.
Also if Pan gets in I'll be doing an intro log that will be a minglish sort of thing for him and everybody who attends where he basically plays his pan pipes and calls everyone who can hear to a bonfire. Would this be fine?
