MEET PETER WILDER!
( kj apa, cis man, he/him ) Is that PETER WILDER ?? I think they are the 27 year old SHOP HAND AT ATLANTIS COMICS & ARCADE everyone keeps talking about. Everyone says they’re just like PETER PAN from PETER PAN, but it’s probably just because they’re known for being FREE-SPIRITED and IMPULSIVE. What they really want is TO LIVE IN PERPETUAL WONDER, but do they have the willpower to ask for what they want? Or reach out and take it?

Peter remembers growing up in Godscobh. He remembers a mother who never quite looked at him long enough, a school system that lost his records, a town that always felt like it was trying to forget him. He remembers choosing the streets over stability, choosing fun over fear.
By day, Peter works behind the counter at Atlantis Comics & Arcade, placing out comic books on shelves, restocking imported figurines, and letting local kids linger longer than they should. By night, the same dusty back room becomes a waypoint in Godscobh’s Pixie Dust trade shipments in, product out, all hidden beneath blinking lights and plastic joy.
Peter is the leader of the Lost Boys, a loose but fiercely loyal gang made up of runaways, forgotten kids, and those who slipped through the cracks of the gods’ perfect little town. They don’t call themselves a gang. They call themselves free.
Everyone else knows better.
The Lost Boys aren’t muscle in the traditional sense. They’re scouts, runners, lookouts, pickpockets, arcade rats, dock lurkers. Kids no one noticed when they went missing, or didn’t bother to look for.
Peter doesn’t rule them through fear. He rules them through belief:
That Godscobh can’t own them if they don’t let it
That childhood is a weapon, not a weakness
That rules only matter if you agree to follow them
To him, Pixie Dust is freedom in powdered form. Escape. Flight, even if it’s artificial. He doesn’t see himself as a dealer; he sees himself as a distributor of choice. If the town is going to poison itself anyway, it might as well do so on its own terms.
Peter is charming in a way that feels dangerous once you notice it. He laughs easily, smiles too quickly, and never seems weighed down by consequences. He hates being bored more than he fears being caught. He treats violence like a game, until it isn’t. And when it stops being fun, Peter has a habit of disappearing before the blood dries.
Peter doesn’t trust the city council, not really. Some of them amuse him. Some of them scare him. All of them annoy him. But something in his bones knows they’re lying. He has an uncanny resistance to their influence: threats slide off him, deals don’t stick the way they should, and fear: real fear, refuses to take root. It’s unclear whether this is a flaw in the reincarnation process… or something Peter brought with him into this life.
