## Story

Pan was born in Hollywood, California, October 31st of 1988. Under the name John Petersburg II. From an early age, Pan was conditioned to believe that anything and everything that his parents did was righteous and for good. He was primarily raised by employees in an experimentation facility, Against The Code, which was working to create stronger monsters to be used as weaponry for the United States. When he was only six years of age, workers began to inject him with 'magical' serums to give him fiery power. This reacted poorly with Pan's disgruntled immune system, which rejected the additions. It warped his body into a flame-fueled nightmare, which was quickly mended by even more injections. During his time afterward, he was cared for by an individual employee who the other workers called 'a suspicious human' named Carmody Winchester. Pan became attached to Carmody due to his lack of a paternal figure, which Carmody gladly took responsibility for. When Pan turned thirteen, Carmody managed to smuggle the teenager away from the facility and out of the United States, adopting him as his son and renaming him Pan Henry Winchester. About two months after Pan was adopted, Carmody brought home his biological daughter, Whitney Winchester. Pan quickly became attached, displaying brotherly care immediately. The pair adored each other so much that when his sister was nine, she granted Pan the abilities of and Enderian; which one can only do once. Pan was happy to take care of his sister in his father's absence during work and did the best job he could until Winchester turned ten.

At the age of twenty-three, Pan left home on a boat of his own after being accepted into Harvard University back in the Americas. Once there, Pan began taking the technology and botany classes he'd enrolled for. He spent his time sleeping around with numerous male students and staff to earn money to pay off his future debt. In one of these botany classes, Pan met a fellow student by the name of Conor ó Maoilriain, who saved him from burning in the rain during a storm on campus. The two became fast friends, and eventually, this escalated into a romantic relationship and an intense bond. Pan stayed beside Conor even after learning that he was a transgender man, and the duo was inseparable. However, in one early morning technology lesson, everything went downhill for the pair. Bigot students barged into the classroom, holding police batons they'd stolen, with the full intent of harming the homosexual couple. One of the men swung on Conor first, and then the rest joined his pursuit. The injuries became too severe, and noticing their actions, the trio fled. Conor died in Pan's arms, which caused the man to become resentful, closed off, and traumatized, which he responded to by swiftly dropping out of school, taking Conor's pet bird to care for, and taking back to the seas.

After discovering that his compass was shattered before he'd parted from the American shores, it was far too late, as he was in the middle of nowhere. Using his parrot, Bimbo, to help him fish for food, and drinking plenty of whiskey and rum to keep him from panic, the ram spent ten years alone at sea, struggling to find his way back to any land despite great efforts. Eventually, on his tenth year of sea-bound life, Pan finally landed on an unknown beach on a massive island in the middle of the sea. Once beached, he met his now male sister, William. Not recognizing him at first due to the age leap and the sudden transition, Pan was overjoyed when he realized who he was staying with. Though many arguments began to spark between the pair due to lies and deception, which were swiftly resolved by much-needed serious conversations. Despite all their bickering, Pan remained very close to his brother and expressed the desire to protect him from danger, and felt guilty for not doing so after Winchester died to Azabod. When their island was destroyed and the group was forced to move, Pan became enraged when his brother forced him onto a boat, which ignited traumatic memories from life on the sea. Their quarrel was short-lived, however, when they had to quickly return to migrating as far away from tainted lands as they could. When Winchester fell sick due to Azabod's possession and then was slain by him, Pan was distraught, sobbing while holding his brother's dying body. When Azabod promised Pan his brother's life if he agreed to a deathmatch he agreed with no hesitation, fully intent on saving his brother's life.

Pan soon falls into a magic-induced coma, unable to wake up. He is brought back to consciousness ill and confused in a new place, The Bunker. He goes out with Winchester on a walk, where he discovers two children in the snow. The oldest, Phoenix, claims that she is their daughter from another timeline. Although confused, Pan takes them both back home.

Disappointed in his brother's continuation of lying, Pan confronts his brother who is outside smoking a cigarette. Winchester snaps at him for sneaking upon him, and Pan starts talking about issues. Conor comes outside, telling the pair that he has spotted an odd figure staring at them from the mountainside. Pan confronts the man, who reveals himself as Danny, and goes on a spiel describing the history of the lands the group built on. Pan stops his brother from being aggressive, when Conor spots the Ender Dragon looming in the distance, free from the portal's confinement. Winchester ushers them all inside but soon collapses in the main hall and returns as possessed by the dragon. Possessed Winchester casts an odd, elusive spell on Pan, causing him to writhe in pain before waking as a completely different person. He begins to verbally abuse his brother, husband, and children, leaving the bunker to join the dragon in her endeavors. Winchester stops him, grabbing his arm and crushing him until he passes out. Pan wakes back up as himself, profusely apologizing for all the things he had said. Conor quickly forgives him, though Winchester remains hesitant.

Pan faces off against the avian demon, Mars, enraged by the deaths of his brother and sister. When Conor is grabbed by Mars and dragged away, Pan attempts to save him, but ends up slashing Conor in the chest and killing him in a freak accident. He sobs over Conor's body, until he returns with another life and the two promise never to let it happen again.

When Pan wakes up from a grizzly nightmare detailing the deaths of his siblings on replay, he and Conor go and check on their children. Upon realizing the quartet escaped through a window against all their safety orders, Pan and Co race out into the snow to track them down. Entering the End Portal within the Amethyst Cavern, Pan scolds Phoenix before the Nether's King, King Blazeborne, smashes through an end pillar. Pan and his siblings collapse to the ground as the sky splits in half- revealing a gleaming white rift in the shape of a smile. The group attempts to get Pan and his siblings to safety, but the trio steals their vehicle and heads toward Cyclone City. Once there, they purposefully slip off the edge of the Great Whirlpool, falling into a patch of yellow flowers, now transformed into a three-headed dragon beast by the power of the whirlpool. Calliope, now formed, is lead away from the area by Rowanpool.

After escaping Rowanpool's 'Lake of the Heart', Calliope unfuses and makes their way home. Pan happily reunites with his children and Fiancé, until his husband is kidnapped and he is knocked out.

He tolerates no shenanigans and is somewhat of a hypocrite when it comes to being lied to. He hates being formal and is incredibly loud when it comes to voices his opinions.
