Description:
Chase Vega is a just a normal Soturi, not strings or odd features attatched. He doesn't have wings like an angel or fangs like a vampire. In fact, the only thing about Chase that is magical is his smile and that he is blessed with the element of earth. Besides that, he seems pretty average at 6' and proportional weight for his height. He doesn't have many people standing over him, but he also doesn't stand over too many people either. He's in the middle. Along with that, he has a stronger body structure, with finely toned muscles and long legs.

The knight has a kind smile, which he shows quite often thanks to his disposition. His eyes are a deep blue, thick and hardly show his emotions, you'd have to stare deeply into them to find his true feelings. His hair is wind-blown and a soft black, not jet black, but not gray. Once again in the middle. His skin is tan from staying out in the sun for long periods of time.

While Chase is a knight, he's not seen in armor at all. He thinks that it'll hinder him if he puts on loud, bulky plates of metal. He stays in casual clothes, even in fighting.

Description:
Chase is typically a very laid back person. He doesn't take his job seriously and is often found goofing off. Don't get him wrong, he likes being a knight, but sometimes he thinks there's more important things. He has a problem staying focused. He's quite funny and charming, along with being chivalrous and thoughtful. He's well known for being a kind person and flirts without thinking, giving compliments away without much thought.

Some people find him cocky, annoying, snarky, and sarcastic. He jokes a lot, not only about other people, but also about himself. You can't really take him seriously because most of his words don't mean much.

With that be said, he also has a dark side, like all people do. When he's fighting, Chase becomes pretty much emotionless with hollow humor and a sick laugh. After a fight, if he wins, he leaves red flower petals. So, if you see red petals flying about, you know Chase was there.


HISTORY AND BACKGROUND
Chase's original home was in Naktis, only a couple houses down from the Skies family's house. Although he was the same age as Krista and Aaryn, his best friend was Holly. They were friends from the time Holly was born. They made a vow when they were five that they were going to marry eachother when they were the right age. Chase gave Holly the nickname "mistletoe" and they were almost always seen with eachother. They'd get in trouble together, laugh together, and roam the lands of the dark county together.

As the years progressed, Holly started spending more time with her siblings, Aaryn and Krista, mainly because Chase had started training to be a knight. He began getting jealous when he saw the three of them together. Every time he saw a smile on Holly's face that was not from his own doing, he felt anger bubble in his being. The sin of envy slowly started taking over Chase's life until a plan devised in his head. He just had to get rid of Aaryn and Krista and then Holly would be with him. Not only that, though. He had to get rid of her parents too, so he'd be the only one she could run to.

One day, while Holly, Krista, and Aaryn were out, Chase went to the castle and told as many guards as possible that Adara and Christian Skies were transgression users. They were killed immediately, put down in fear of becoming dangerous. He made it clear, though, that the Skies children didn't know anything about their parents controlling Black magic. After that, he left, heading back to his own house.

He was stopped on his way, however, by Krista. She was in a horrible rage at what she just witnessed. She attacked him, aiming to avenge her parent's death. "Damned soturi!" and "filthy native!" are things she screamed as she clawed and kicked the boy. It didn't take much to overpower Krista, though, and Chase easily found himself with his hands around her neck, smirking maliciously. He tightened until the demon passed out and, with his dagger, sliced her throat.

The next day, Aaryn approached, not speaking like his twin sister, but looking equally as angry. He didn't ask why for, at the time, he did not care. Holly was crying at home because of Chase(though she didn't know that). The angel wasted no time in pinning Chase to the ground.

"Aaryn!" At the call of his name, Aaryn turned his head and saw Holly standing at the end of the dark alley. Taking that chance, Chase slashed Holly's brother, leaving a fatal wound. He didn't realize that it was Holly at the end of the alley. When he stood up, he faced the horrified face of the girl he was so dearly trying to win. Holly ran to Aaryn, lifitng him up onto her back before rushing away from there, leaving Chase.

Chase saw Holly once more after that. It was in the castle of Acerbus Umbra.

The knight moved to Celestial City, but he kept a house in Acerbus Umbra because he knew she was still there, the mystic-in-training. He enjoyed the change of pace of moving to the Celestial City. Still, he missed what he and Holly had and plans to visit her again.
