The following outline assumes that Peter Pan, and Peter Pan only is canon. Neither Disney’s sequel or Hook fit in with this version of the “timelineâ€.
Wendy, John, Michael and the Lost Boys left Neverland to grow up with their parents, whom they loved. Peter, however, was not ready to grow up. Perhaps he never will be. He returned to Neverland, where he played all his favourite games.
Peter grew lonely, and occasionally visited Wendy and the others – but he made sure that they never saw him – and continued to listen to her stories, which she never seemed to grow out of telling. But this was not enough, and he was delighted when a new set of Lost Boys began to arrive in Neverland.
Neverland has always been timeless, and nothing, it seems, changes. Not only did the Lost Boys reappear, but so did the pirates. Smee had been the only survivor (not strictly true – the other was doomed to care for the Red Indians’ papooses) and had henceforth wandered about the world in his spectacles, making a precarious living by saying he was the only man that James Hook had feared. He had met a pirate named Pierre – who was French but spoke English so well that only his name betrayed him – who didn’t believe Smee for a second. He did however recognise him by reputation as part of the Jolly Roger’s crew, and “persuaded†Smee to tell him of Neverland. So fascinated did Pierre become that he and his crew travelled to Neverland in their ship Le Requin Rouge, to discover for themselves the land that took Hook’s life.
The Red Indians went on as they always did, though for a while they went unchallenged by pirates.
Kay-oh. Executive decision: No mermaids. Makes an already challenging group of characters that little bit too difficult, I'm afraid. Which leaves lost boys, red indians, and faeries. Gotta say, my preference would be for the first two. Faeries add a whole extra bundle of problems.
So, if youse guys want to work on some character profiles now, that'd be appreciated.
