Introduction

He grew up to a good, stable home off in Chicago, but he was never quite content. There were adventures out there in the world, secrets, wonders. His imagination fueled his escapades and kept him in trouble, and then he awoke into a world more wondrous and terrible then he ever imagined.

Now he's come to Detroit, a place that seems to suck the vital energy of imagination away -- why? Who knows. But he has come, and there's a fire inside him. He grew up finding causes, from civil rights for African Americans to gays to women to fighting against Islamaphobia, to the Occupy movement, to -- really, any cause at all.

The fire's still there, it might even be stronger. Its time for change, real change. People just need to look at things differently to see, they just need to be less certain about what they think is true, and find in that uncertainty a real truth...

Stereotypes

Note: These are a kind of worst-case, grumpy hound version of stereotypical thoughts, not meant as anything personal!

Kithain

Boggan: Good folk, they know how to brew a beer and how good it is to have an honest day's work, and to top it off, have a better sense of humor then most.
Eshu: I don't know, man, I just don't know. Some of them seem like fun to have at a party, the others you have to squint real hard to make sure they aren't a sidhe. Then again I hear they practice some seriously weird rituals to set themselves apart. What's that cat with nine tails they like? I don't know.
Nocker: Someone should write a Nocker Dictionary, then sneak it into some hotels and replace the bibles with it; that I'd pay for. Otherwise, hey, at least some of them recognize the modern world isn't this abyss of dread but is instead a treasure trove of innovation and creativity.
Redcap: To tell you the truth... No comment. No fucking comment, okay?
Satyr: If I liked asses that hairy, ... who am I kidding? Any party you have, invite every satyr you can find, just don't give them the good alcohol. No matter what they say, they can't tell the difference and its just a waste. Hide the good shit.
Sidhe: They claim to respect tradition, but toss aside some of the most ancient and vital, all while expecting us to bow down to them just because they decided to come back one day. Fuck them. Welcome to 2015, its time for a change. Top of the agenda? Blood doesn't determine who rules anymore in the civilized world. They're also terrible in bed, because really by the time they're done reading poetry and stuff you've gone to sleep, trust me, that's a night I totally forgot. You want real action, look elsewhere.
Sluagh: Do not accept an invitation for any kind of party or event that involves refreshment or food. Do accept, how shall I put it, oral favors should they be offered-- which they will, though it will come off as coy and with strange innuendo-- because its just a thing unto its own you have to experience to believe.
Troll: Tiresome. Severely Compensating. More fat then sense, when you can get past their rumbling.

Contacts

Mars: Nocker (apparently), has this fucking ancient punmobile. Knows some things. Likely not useless.
Iustina: Not a sidhe. Not a sidhe. Not a sidhe. (If I keep saying that maybe I'll start believing it when I look at her). Weird. Aware of things. I don't know, man. I don't know.

RP Hooks

These are some hooks that may interest you in playing with Chance...

Man's Best Friend

... mumble something about the Confidant birthright here

Mundane

Political: Chance is political, by almost all definitions of the term. His exact politics are harder to pin down, but he cares about the cause, whatever it happens to be. He gives money, he attends rallies, he makes signs, defaces websites -- I mean, uhh, does social networking... In particular:
- People of Color civil rights; he grew up in a well off home, but even he's been pulled over for driving while black. It just happens. Its not right. Neither is a generation of black youth ending up in private, for-profit prisons in a failed policy whose only result is profits for those prisons and drug cartels.
- LGBTQI rights. He's gay, came out early, had a hard time of it. Attends marriage equality rallies often, has been known to take weekend trips across the country to do so.
- Feminism is the recognition that all people deserve equal rights, but that a staggering half the population has a hard time of it. That's insane.
- Immigration needs reforms, the utterly horrid system in place is ripping apart families -- including families of citizens, putting citizen children in foster care and the child welfare system instead of keeping their tax-paying, economy-supporting parents around to take care of them. How is this sane?
- Islamaphobia has been a hot button issue with him for awhile now. Really, its any "-phobia", but this one has been a stark point given the current climate.
- Athiest rights, at the same time, he's totally against the 10 commandments or any religious involvement in civil governance.
- Privacy is a vital right that is poorly protected, and Big Brother is greedily gulping up more and more and must be stopped. Especially in the digital age and our looming surveillance state.
- Anti-War is pretty self-explanatory
- ... really, name a cause. He's political.
- That doesn't mean he's only into talking to people who are like minded. Discussions change minds, shape the world, and are a moral imperative
Hacktivist: This isn't well known, obviously, since it involves crimes. Needless to say, there are VPN's and onion networks between him and @double4s
Hacker, in the MIT definition of the work-- one who tweaks and builds. @chancegreen94 is known among some in certain computer security circles as a private contractor who has made some bug bounties and is involved in a wide variety of communities.
- Lock picking is a thing that happens among this community as a hobby, a sort of practical extension of security in the physical realm. I'm not saying Chance can pick a lock, no, not at all, but he's concerned with all things security.
Sports: He's a Patriots fan, and likes playing football for fun with the folk out at the parks
Art: He likes art, and has things to say about art, and absolutely no artistic ability.
Animals: He likes animals, but in particular he's a dog lover, and dogs love him.
iPhone: Apple iFan who owns iEverything
Food: An amateur foodie

Supernatural

Commoner: Obviously. But, he's also something of a rebel! A revolutionary! Even if there isn't much of a revolution going on, he thinks there should be. Tired of the Oppression of the Shiny Doll People? Tired of being stepped on because mirrors don't crack when exposed to your angelic visage? Tired of them strutting around as if their shit smelt of roses? Chance is on board!
Unseelie: The Court of Winter has been suppressed, treated like second class citizens, not given its rightful due -- the due the Dreaming demand it be given. The Dream is change, yet the Seelie in their righteous indignation and stagnation strangle Concordia by thinking there's never a place that Summer's hand is not best at the helm. Fuck that!
Weirdness: He has a severe thread of curiosity that makes him sniff around (often, literally) anything strange or unusual.
Speaks to Animals: Especially dogs. Do you have a puppy? Chance can translate.
