I'm not talking appearance looks wise... I'm talking appearance as in the way he carries himself. If you've read the original Peter Pan, you'd see A.) Peter was almost never unhappy... it was nearly impossible for him to be emotionally compromised by anything, particularly when he was home in Neverland.  Peter essentially could not feel 'adult' emotions, because he burried them so deeply within himself. And B.) He would never miss his parents because he didn't even remember them. He was so transfixed on himself and his adventures that he occasionally forgot even Wendy's brothers.

I also can't see Peter leaving Neverland, voluntarily. It was his home, and he was the leader. Neverland meant so much to him, he gave up Wendy, who he very well could have fallen in love with and the opportunity for a new home with real parents. He was taken to Neverland as an infant, which also deosn't fit Bae's story, at all.

It's asking a lot to believe that he went from Bae to Peter to Neal. It's much more believable that he was Bae, went to Neverland, became a Lost Boy (who's emotions and attitude could would be much more complex than Peter's) and came back as Neal. They've stretched stories before, but not so much that you completely lose the authenticity of the character itself and having Bae be Peter would lose Peter's characterization completely.
