Powers: Telekinesis, Psychic Blasts and minor Telepathy
Power Limitations: Telekinesis: While his telekinetic strength and skill are both of an extremely high level, he isn’t nearly capable of grasping objects in Earth orbit or manipulating hundreds of components in mid-air in complex patterns. Chance is able to lift objects far beyond his own physical capabilities and objects from a distance as long as he is able to see them. He uses his telekinesis to often lift himself and others giving him the limited ability of levitation and very short distance flight. Chance also uses his telekinesis to create durable shields.
Psychic Blasts: The ability to fire enormously powerful energy blasts which are generated from the body's extrasensory potential often resulting in small fires due to friction.
Telepathy: Chance telepathy is a secondary power, and the weakest of his gifts. He is able to scan from minds and communicate across short distances. He also has the ability to project his own thoughts implanting suggestions while he is in close proximity to someone, even making them think he’s touching them through ‘phantom hands’
Hobbies and Interests: Chance has varying range of hobbies. While he loves swimming, his interests have branched in MMA and jujitsu. He’s more of a soccer boy than football but he’ll watch his teams play. On the more nerdy side Chance has a love of computer games, anything from his xbox to his MMO and first person shooters. He spends too much of his money getting games and new parts for his computers.
He also smokes weed, now that he’s a teacher he’s started to lay off it a bit more but he’s a daily user, more often because he finds it opens his mind up more for his telepathy.
Background: His family was part of an underground mutant liberation force. His sister Chantal was adopted by the family when they found her orphaned on the street. Chance and her have a very tight bond to each other. They act more like Best friends than brother and sister. Chance was told by his parents at the age of 12 that he was probably a mutant and would develop his own powers in the next few years. The raised him to be kind to all creatures whether they be mutant, human or alien.
At the age of 16 ½ he developed the first sighs of his powers during a swimming competition away where he manage to trash a dinner. His parents made him train hard with his powers at every free moment. None of his friends at school knew that he was a mutant. He got along great with them. After graduating high school he left out on his own to live with his older sister. She told him he needed more than she could offer. He was too into the hero life with his powers, so when he met up with Elisa and found she was a mutant he joined the school.
Since being at Grey’s Chance has seen it as a shot to follow in his parents footsteps. His application to training has been strong but he’d hardly be considered ‘hard core’ like some of the others.
His relationship with Emerald started up after her return from the Genhosha mission. Some might have called it an unhealthy relationship with Em’s baggage and the extreme amount of time they spent together (most of it behind closed doors) neither cared.
Chance always considered himself a social person, enjoying the company of a lot of people who lived at the mansion. His little Power Princess Clover has been like a little sister to him in some ways, keeping her secret about her being Dallas brother till the end.
After the break up with Em Chance did go off the rails a little, losing his willingness to be social. Chance often just hung out by himself getting high or being reckless with his money on betting. Byron seemed to be his only confident during this time, when all he wanted to do was brood and being upset about it all. Now at college and well as the break up left Chance in a small identity crisis, having to really work out who he was and who he wanted to be.
Spending his most recent summer with Excalibur seems to have done the trick in getting him out of the rut he was stuck in, after Jean disappearance his gifts were not being worked hard enough and a strict three months of training has left him in the best shape he’s been in since arriving at the mansion.
Over the last few years Chance as become a stronger leader, taking on the role of co leader with June, letting the pair get closer despite his crushes on Elisa. Finally able to open up to June the pair started dating just before she went off. Chance tried to stand by June despite it all. However losing Elisa and her going to jail just proved too hard.
Like the others Chance started with Mass and the Hellions. Trying hard to use what they were doing was the right thing, and that working for Emma’s agenda was no different for working for SHEILD. However it was often blurry. However he felt obliged to stay given the chance to train under Emma again. But it just became to hard deciding he wasn’t able to really deal chance joined the Excalibur team even in there reserve team in UK also to finish his last semester of an economics degree out of Oxford.
He did return when Em was being doubted upon. Plus he wanted to be there for her as she went through her own power change, having lost/swapped his own powers he was happy to try and support her. He wasn’t sure if it was out of just loneliness that he and Em hooked back up again, it was clear they were both to wounded inside to have anything more than just someone to hold and sleep with.
Getting a call from his sister to say she was getting married didn’t raise Chance sprits as much as he thought it would. His mood was made even worse with the exposure of the Black Op’s team. He’d known for a little while that they had existed. Which continued to conflict with his own idea of what being a hero had meant. He was more surprised that his patents where at the wedding. For a short time he joined them with the MFL for a few short months before he had to move away, after getting involved in a mutant gang was Chance was badly injured (leaving scars along his thigh and above his right eye) in knowing it was easy to get lost in the groups agenda.
Not really having anywhere else Chance moved back to Mass to get his masters in Economics out of Harvard. Putting his hand up for a teaching job at David and Aisha new school.
Finding out June had sided with the Horseman knocked Chance more than he ever really showed to anyone. While it had been a long while since he had ever considered them close he couldn’t help but feel that this final act was the death of the girl he’d always cared about. It seemed more important than ever to be part of the new Institute.
Personality: Clever, idealistic, arrogant but selfless, Chance is a man of humble origins and sees no reason to pretended otherwise amongst the people he cares about. His dry humor allows him to be undaunted by authority, (especially competing male authority).
Gaining a reputation to sometimes outrageously bold in his actions, often that have crossed over into the ‘grey’ moral area, sometimes people forget that he is and always has been principled. “Protect then Obey.” He is relatively light-hearted, easy-going, witty and has a somewhat cheeky manner, which comes a cross as charming. But does posses a somewhat egocentric need to protect.
