[i]"I grew up, your mother grew up. It is about time you do the same."

This is a phrase all children will hear at least once in their lives. This lecture is normally to be given in the wake of a child's transition into becoming a teenager. The time when a child is oblivious to the real world around them, and stuck in the fantasy world they create for themselves. For some children, this speech sinks in and they succumb to their parent's wishes. But for others, the words flow as the wind. For them, they feel "growing up" is an adventure they are not ready to embark upon. All of their childish adventures had not been conquered just yet. There were still pirates to defeat, new countries to discover, treasures to be had, and endings to live happily ever after. These are the children that hold the key to a magic that lasts for all time. The magic that captivates all who hear their tales and adventures. Luckily for few children, the magic is not just a story; it is a true quest to conquer their make-believe fantasies.

This was the case for a fanciful girl and her two younger brothers. Wendy, just shy of woman-hood, was the keeper of a child's imagination. She stayed in the nursery with her brothers, telling stories of the infamous Captain Hook and Neverland. Night after night, fun-filled stories of the ruthless pirate and his merciless attacks on Neverland's natives. And every night, little to Wendy's knowledge, the nursery window housed a visitor, a boy. He was the one who refused to grow up, who rode the winds, and spoke to mermaids. He was Peter Pan, a mere character in Wendy's story; or so she thought. It was one cold, winter's eve that Wendy's adventure came true. The eve that would change the life of the young girl and two boys forever.

We all know of their adventure, the excitement and fantasy, the fairy tale; the belief. But what most of you don't know, is the adventure afterwords. This is my story. I, Wendy Mora Angela Darling, have one last tale to share...[/i]


Two years have passed since the fall of the pirate, Captain Hook, and Wendy's return to her home. Soon after her return, she bid her father's wish to move out of the nursery, and began to take on more of an adult sense of responsibility. Thus, no more stories were to be told again. The unruly boy of Neverland was soon to fade into memory. Mr. Darling, a proud, hard-working man, felt it was time for his daughter to be sent away to a finishing school for young ladies. Despite her longing to stay a child forever with her brothers, Wendy could only obey. However, there was someone who thought otherwise. It was in the pleading of her youngest brother, Michael, that Wendy was tempted into telling just one last story. This story would bring about an unimaginable, and unexpected, adventure. One that would harbor a new, rotten villain. One that would bring a familiar shadow to Wendy's window. One, that would change her life..forever.

[color=#161414][size=2]As you may have guessed, this is an RPG based on the wonderful, childhood classic. I was inspired by the 2003 version of [i]Peter Pan[/i]. I'm trying to accomplish the same feeling the movie gave me; a mature, blossoming love story. Keep in mind that when I say "mature", it does not mean in any way that the content of this RPG will be sexual. I will be monitoring for unacceptable sexuality throughout the story.

[Raiha]

[FONT=Times New Roman][COLOR=DarkOrchid]Name: Tinker Bell or Tink

Character: The pixie, Tinker Bell

Age: N/A

Appearance: Very tiny, no bigger than two of your fingers, four wings, green tunic, devilish smile. Tink also has brownish blonde hair, and is often surrounded by pixie dust. This can be used to illustrate things, or change her appearance.

Bio: Full of mischief, but completely devoted to Peter Pan, Tinker Bell is famous for her temper, her ability to make people fly, and how conveniently she fits into lanterns when being abducted by pirates. Being a pixie of course, she is only able to keep one thought in her head at a time, and more often than not she's jealous of girls that Peter Pan talks to or worse, spends time with. These women include Indian Princess Tiger Lily and Wendy. She's smart enough to not be jealous when he talkes to the mermaids.

She is liked by the Lost Boys, who believe everything she says. At one time she saved Peter Pan's life and was saved from death for it. So while she's a mischevious little trickster, she does have some redeeming qualities. Oh yes. Very few can understand what she says, she's often reduced to pantomime and illustration with pixie dust.[/COLOR][/FONT]

[Dragon Warrior]

[b]Name:[/b] Peter Pan
[b]Character:[/b] Peter Pan, Leader of the Lost Boys
[b]Age:[/b] Thirteen
[b]Appearance:[/b] Peter is a young boy donned in a green tunic with brown, muddied boots. Most of his clothes are rags from all his adventures and lack of a tailor. He has slightly pointed ears giving him an elf-like quality. From all his adventuring about Neverland, he has become strong for his age, which by now is way beyond a boy.

He has a sword at his side used to skewer any pirate threatening his clan, The Lost Boys. He's often dirty-looking, but encounters with water takes care of that (and these encounters aren't really on purpose). His blondish-brown hair is long and mangy, his bangs cloaking his blue eyes. There isn't really a moment he doesn't have a smirk playing across his lips. He lives his life freely and as a boy forever.

[Corey]

[size=1][b]Name:[/b] Jared Lourning

[b]Character:[/b] Lost Boy

[b]Age:[/b] 16

[b]Appearance:[/b] Jared is about 6' tall, 160lbs, and very gangly. He has a mop of black hair on top of his head that hangs down to about his shoulders. He wears a flannel blazer with a white t-shirt underneath, ripped and faded bluejeans, and a pair of black and white Converse sneakers.

[b]Bio:[/b] Jared ran away with Peter when he was sixteen. He's not quite sure what his age is now, but he's more mature than most of the boys. His father worked long, grueling hours at a factory, and his mother had the hobby of working long, grueling hours on the postman. Or the garbage man. Or the deli manager. She wasn't picky. And neither were some of them. When she was out doing an errand, thay'd let themselves in with the key she'd given them and, every once in a while, help themselves to him.

So he got out of there as soon as he could. The only thing he missed about his past life was his dog. But he's been on the island for a very long time. He's seen the rise and fall of Hook. And participated in several Mermaid wooings. He doesn't want to grow old and die.[/size]

[SIZE=1]Alright, that's all the editting done as I promised, I'm rather happy with the way it turned out.

[b]Name:[/b]
Amadeus Mondego

[b]Character:[/b]
The Villain

[b]Age:[/b]
40 years, 4 months and 11 days.

[b]Appearance:[/b]
As seen [url=http://www.imdb.com/gallery/ss/0268695/Ss/0268695/CT-3979.jpg?path=gallery&path_key=0268695][B]Here[/B][/url], although his hair is slightly shorter and less straight, much like [url=http://www.imdb.com/gallery/ss/0245844/Ss/0245844/11-CT-7693.jpg?path=gallery&path_key=0245844][B]this[/B][/url]. As opposed to the flamboyant and outdated pirate attire worn by his predecessor, Mondego wears an apparel more fitting of this new age of science.
[b]Bio:[/b]
"[i]Many people would consider Neverland a paradise, not I[/i]"

Beyond the magical creatures that inhabit Neverland, few are born there, for most of them Neverland is a haven for excitement and the imagination, for Mondego is was not. Perhaps he wasn?t actually born there, but was brought at an age so young he can no longer recall the event, he cares little for the facts surrounding his arrival at this place, he loathes it with ever fibre of his being and longs to escape. He regards Neverland as little less than a prison where he is the only inmate, while others taunt him with their enjoyment of his suffering, and this is why he hates Peter Pan and his Lost Boys.

With the demise of Captain Hook, Pan?s long-time nemesis, Mondego has been able to subjugated the forces and lands once under his control. Where as Hook travelled in his enormous pirate flagship, Mondego a man of science prefers not to be seen in something so primitive, and his mammoth dirigible can often be seen gracing the skies above Neverland. Mondego himself prefers not to descent down to the depths of his prison, electing instead to have his faithful and intelligent right hand Mira carry out his orders.[/SIZE][/CENTER]

[COLOR=DarkBlue][B]Name[/B]: Michael Darling

[B]Character[/B]: Little Brother

[B]Age[/B]: 8

[B]Appearance[/B]: Gone are the days of one piece "nighties" as his mother called then. He has proudly graduated to a full set of PJ's that he likes to wear all the time, even though his mother complains everytime.

His light brown hair sits confortably on his earlobes, and it almost seems blonde when you see it from a distance, or in the sun. He loves to run outside, and has been known to sneak Nana out with him.

[B]Bio[/B]: Michael tries to live the way he thinks Peter would. He tries to fly to places, (with the bruises to prove it!), he fights off invisible pirates at every street corner,and he always carries a little wooden sword with him, whereever he goes.

His brother has already began to forget, telling Michael to leave any time he offers to play Peter Pan. It makes him sad to not only see his brother loose interest, but also see his sister leaving. So, in hopes of finding the magic again, he gets Wendy to tell one last story before she leaves.[/COLOR]

[color=#161414]All right people, nice sign-ups so far. A couple of people I wasn't expecting, which is delightful. Thank you all. For those of you who still need to finish your character, please do so as soon as you can. Gavin, I understand why you cannot finish yours, and for that I apologize; it was my fault you can't base your character yet.

Sign-ups are [b]still open[/b] to whomever would like to join. I'll leave them open til Monday. It would be nice to have at least one more Lost Boy, and one assistant to The Villan.[/color]

[Heartless Me]

i was hoping to play the villain but since he/she/it is already taken i'll go for the lacky so if gavin could send me a message with some things about your character i will build up the "side kick if you will."

[font=trebuchet ms][color=darkgoldenrod]Here goes![/color]

[b]Name:[/b] Fire Fly

[b]Character:[/b] Neverland Indian Girl

[b]Age:[/b] 14

[b]Appearance:[/b]
[center][IMG]http://www.geocities.com/family_mom/pprincs4.jpg[/IMG][/center]

[b]Bio:[/b] Fire Fly isn't the princess of the tribe, but she and Tiger Lily have been friends forever! The Lost Boys aren't that bad either, considering the fact that they [i]are[/i] boys!

She often feels sad that she missed out on all the excitement with Captain Hook the first time the Darlings came (later she was told Darling meant 'cute', so now she calls them the Cutes)...but now there is something worse going on.

And she never did tell anyone about that weird clock she found in the swamps that day...

[color=darkgoldenrod]So this is my first foray into RPing here at OtakuBoards...I spend umpteen hours a day here anywhere, and lord knows that I love role playing, so why not! Hope my character fits in.[/font][/color]

[Retribution]

[SIZE=1]Pretty good. My first sign up got lost from a ... mishap with the computer. Grr.

[B]Name:[/B] Alexander "Lex" Crowne
[B]Character:[/B] Lost Boy
[B]Age:[/B] 13
[B]Appearance:[/B] Lex is 5'5", has curly brown hair and light brown eyes. He wears a brown shirt with the word "Rhyme" in orange letters. It is faded in spots, with small tatters and rips on it. His faded-blue cargo pants now resemble a peaceful shade of sky-blue. Is shoes are in the worst condition of all; a tired pair of black adidas, waiting to be put out of their misery. His frame and body build is thin, light, almost underweight if it were not for the muscles he is slowly developing from always being physically active in Neverland.
[B]Bio:[/B] [soon to come. got da-leeted][/SIZE]

[Kitty]

[color=blue][size=1][B]Name:[/B] Andrew Kleever

[B]Character:[/B] Lost Boy

[B]Age:[/B] 14

[B]Appearance:[/B] Andrew stands at just under 5'9". He is dawned in shaggy pants (held above his waist, however) with a tile-patterned belt, a large grey shirt that says, "Redefinition" in large white and dark blue lettering, and a pair of black and white DC's that no longer resemble what they used to be.

[B]Bio:[/B] Andrew was the model son in his family, having an older brother who got into trouble quite often, and a younger who hadn't yet emerged from his shell yet. At school, he could get top marks without even taking a glance at his text book. The smartest in his school, they thought about transferring him up a few grades.

But Andrew insisted that he stay in the same grade with his friends. So, for a few years, they stayed together. But like all friends, some move on quicker than others. By the beginning of his ninth grade year, Andrew was the only one of his former pals that had not started to do drugs, drop out of school, or seem to disappear into thin air. He had a few friends, but none that were as close as his previous friends.

At age 14, Andrew was alone, bullied, and fussed over and he was tired of it. He was greeted by Peter soon after he had decided to run away from home, but right before he had actually left. In fact, the note he had written to his parents, that he was going to leave on his bed, he still carries with him.

Yet Andrew tends to ignore his past. The boring days before his becoming a Lost Boy. He enjoys his new friends, and the Neverland Indians and mermaids. He's actually become quite fond of a few in particular. The way Andrew thinks is in more of an "act now, ask later" order. While this gets him in to trouble sometimes, he's quick witted, and fully capable of scrounging up a way to get himself out of it.

[b]Name[/b]- Wendy Darling

[b]Age[/b]- 15

[b]Appearance[/b]- The young woman stands around 5' even and only weighs 100 pounds. For the sake of this adventure, Wendy is yet again wearing a night gown.
