The Lost Boys are a group of young outlaws who follow their leader, Pan, through thick and thin. They're main focus is to be a rebellion against the corrupt policies of the enforcer Pirates! Most were born on Neverland, and though generally good in nature, they are a mischievous lot. They have a massive knack for getting into trouble. They indulge in the drug Pixie Dust, they indulge in Fairies, and they indulge in violence. These boys just indulge.
CLEVERNESS: Well liked for their rebellious nature against the Pirates by the Neverlandian's, The Lost Boys have a great many allies. Mostly the Fairies--who are quite fond of them--and the Natives--who are less fond, but they aren't dirty pirates. Additionally, with Pan as their leader, they are also taught to fight with weapons quite effectively, though only the sort that don't take gun powder.
DRAWBACKS: Neverland has basically no education system in place, so these boys are quite illiterate. As stated above, they have no training with weapons that use gunpowder (gunpowder is dismissed as pirate weapons). They also are likely to have at least a semi-addiction to Pixie Dust.NO ORIGINAL CHARACTERS WITHOUT DISCUSSING IT WITH SCOUT/PETER PAN.

When Albion decided to dump their riff-raffs on the coast of Neverland, they prudently decided that they needed to have some sort of law in place. Ironically, they hired one of Albion's own scourges, The Pirates! Over the course of generations, the Pirates now rarely go to far off from Neverland, and instead opt out to rape and pillage the citizens of Neverland, lead currently by the dastardly Captain James Hook!
CLEVERNESS: As employees to her Queen's Majesty Sylvia Kensington of Albion, the Pirates are easily the most wealthy people on the Island, as well as the most likely to be educated. Note that this is not true for all Pirates, who rang from quite bright to barnacle brains. They are universally feared by all but Pan, and can get away with nearly anything. They are also adept with pistols, rifles, and even the dreaded canon.
DRAWBACKS: Unfortunately, this is a job title that wins one few fans. Those who have a reputation for being quite kind are not respected by other Pirates, and those who have a reputation for cruelty are hated by most citizens. Also, one must think of comeuppance. Revenge murders are hardly unheard of, even for Pirates, when a person is crossed enough.ORIGINAL CHARACTERS WELCOME!

Whore, prostitute, courtesan, companion. Though they have many vernaculars, the Neverlandian term is Fairy. Fairies are a more delicate hand in the ecosystem that is Neverland, and a quietly important and varying function in society. Their skills are generally as varying as the taste of the men who come to see them. Their power comes mostly from being the only producers of Pixie Dust, rather than brute strength. Just listen out for the jingle of their bells to know if they're holding.
CLEVERNESS: Every Fairy has her own 'brand' of Pixie Dust, which is tweaked from a basic preparation of the Fey Blossom to the Fairy's liking. She, and rarely he, are also trained to play at least one instrument, have a basic grasp of reading, singing, and dance. This is done so that a Fairy can be entertaining to a fellow even after bed play has finished. Some Fairies choose or are chosen to have Keepers, which serve as a source of protection and stability.
DRAWBACKS: Unless a Fairy trains herself in defense, her only source of protection is a Keeper or her own wits. They are pretty faces in most cases. If one chooses to have a Keeper, she is basically owned by this Keeper, and does not seek out clients unless he gives her permission. If she takes a lover without permission, he has cause to kill her. It should also be noted that long term exposure to Pixie Dust does tend to make them temperamental with mood swings, which can land them in a bit of hot water.ORIGINAL CHARACTERS WELCOME!

The natives of Neverland, The Indians lived there since before the Albion invasion. Brave to boot, this noble people fought bravely with all their might, but were eventually defeated. The numbers that remain are lead by their Chief, and will someday be lead by Princess Tiger Lily. Never forgetting the past, the Piccaninny are sworn enemies of the Pirates and especially Captain Hook, kindling an alliance with Pan and the Lost Boys. Especially with the Princess.
CLEVERNESS: As the originally dwellers of- what they call- Piccaninny Island- no one knows the land of Neverland better than the Indians. This makes them quite good at Guerrilla warfare, though their small numbers tend to limit how much damage they can do at once. Their culture is rich with stories and history, and though reading may not be on the top of the list of what is important to them, they are quite the intelligent people.
DRAWBACKS: The Piccaninny Indian's are the lowest on the food chain in Neverland, sadly. They have the highest taxes, are forced to live on a reservation, and are disdainfully referred to as Redskins, even by non-pirate folk. Because of the mysterious nature of the people, people have developed rumors and stories, effectively turning many of the people into the boogiemen of Neverland. It is not unheard of to hear a Mother warn a child to behave lest a Redskin take him in the night. This stigma, though not all encompassing, is quite widespread.ORIGINAL CHARACTERS WELCOME!

A mysterious, all female, clan of women, The Mermaids are a notorious band of assassins for hire. Despite their incredible skill in murder, the Mermaids have a strict code of neutrality, taking no sides in the politics of Neverland. Their only desire is to be paid and to be left to carry on. The tell tail mermaid brand on their bodies- places vary- signify this oath of neutrality, and they are renown for being nearly unreadable.
CLEVERNESS: Murder. This sorority is all about murder. Quick, deadly, and cold, Mermaids are the perfect killers. How a Mermaid is chosen, or even how they are taught is completely unknown to anyone who does not bare the brand. This mystery adds to their frightening presence, though unless they are paid or threatened, they will have no quarrel with you. They also have a code of loyalty, so if one of their 'sisters' are killed, the gesture will be returned. Because of the neutrality they bare, it is understood that this is not an act of vengeance, but an act of balance.
DRAWBACKS: They are human. Humans are rarely completely neutral, so many honest feelings must be put aside. Though it's rare, if a Mermaid acts against the code of Neutrality she is banished from the clan after her brand is scorched off. Such is the infamous case with Tick Tock, who has sworn vengeance against Captain Hook. Besides this, the loneliness of their lives is present, as menfolk are scorned, as they are considered emotionally weak. ORIGINAL CHARACTERS WELCOME!

Raised in a very strict and industrialized society, The Albionites are far more advanced than their Neverlandian cousins. However, this is not totally a beneficial thing. Though romanticism is highly acceptable, Albionite values involve social and sexual restraint. In this world men go to work and women raise the children, all love must be heterosexual, and a certain financial quota must be adhered to for fear of being sent to Neverland. They are ruled by Queen Sylvia Kensington of Albion, Matriarch of the Kingdom. Albionites rarely, if EVER come to Neverland due to the fear instilled in them.
CLEVERNESS: Raised with privileged, the Albionite people are primly educated. Though their world is quite grey due to vast industrialization, many children are free from worries, and their imaginations are free to roam. They also have the good blessing of common sense, which lacks a bit in Neverland, and it is a value drilled into them. Responsibilities tend to be given around age twelve, primping perfect and respectable folks for Albion's future and glory.
DRAWBACKS: People from Albion are a bit naive. In a world where alcohol is illegal, bare arms and shins are outlawed, and the only legal sex position is missionary, all of the hedonism of Neverland is a foreign concept to most of them. Even more naive, few have even seen trees, grass, or flowers. Unless it's in books. Their restrictive society and the constant fear of being sent to the mad Island of Neverland makes for a very constipated people.ORIGINAL CHARACTERS ARE CURRENTLY UNAVAILABLE.
