History
Chance was born and raised in New York City. The only son of a a business man and a doctor, chance had a fairly easy life. He attended private school and was already being groomed to attend NYU after his graduation, but he was never told or brought up to think that he was better then anyone. His parents simply wanted the best for their only child. In fact, they gave him very earthly values and told him that he should help those less fortunate. He was planning on continuing his schooling and go on to medical school, and he would have had not the Shockwave changed Chances life and world.
Chances entire world was changed in an instant. He was one of those 'branded' with the sigils that appeared and affected so many lives. His own Sigil appeared on his chest while he was with a group of friends at a theater while watching a movie. He felt the sudden intense burning sensation in his chest and thought the impossible had happened and he was having a heart attack at 14. However, he did not as the pain was gone as quickly as it came. But there where more pressing issues as the Shockwave explosion had rocked the theater at the same time and was causing a panic. Outside, all hell had broken loose it seemed. Chances only thoughts where of getting to his family and ensuring thier safety.
However, there would be no happy ending for the Starke family. His father was in a commuter train that derailed in the initial uproar and panic in the first moments after the Shockwave. His mother was at work at one of the hospitals and was accidentally killed by a sigil bearer who had no control over her abilities. Chance only learned these facts, several weeks after the fact. He was left to deal with this life changing event on his own it seemed.
But it came to be that he wouldn't have to deal with this new life. The world had settled down from the chaos and the Kerberos Group had emerged as a leader in Posthuman welfare and aid. As such, Chance was one of the first group of students in the Croft Institute. He finished up his schooling at the institute then instead of going on to NYU like his parents had planned, he decided to join the Shockfront Initiative and try his hand at being a covert superhero, using his abilities for the betterment of the world.
Personality
Chance is a kid who has taken a rough patch of his life and is using it for the betterment of the world around him. While he was rather sullen and depressed after the death of his family in the Shockwave, he has since accepted that he is on his own now and has an independent attitude and he no longer has bouts with depression. In fact, as before, he has reverted back to his usual happy-go-lucky self. Quick with a grin and a smart assed comment he is a typical teenager in that regards. He wants to use his abilities for the good of the people around him and to fight evil, just like the comics he used to read when he was younger. He can be rather brash and headstrong though, due to his independent ways. However, Chance can be a team player, when he believes what the team is fighting for.
Powers
Chances Sigil give him alarmingly quicker reflexes then a normal human. They are so quick in fact that he can consequently dodge bullets, literally curve the trajectory of bullets he fired himself and run vertically for a short period of time. Also, his hyper reflexes granted him the ability of an excellent marksman and an olympic caliber gymnast with his training.
