Chance

BIOGRAPHY

Before he was Pendragon, Xavier Chance was born to a poor, very young couple called the Blanc’s in Colchester, a moderately sized town in the south-east of England. Unable to afford the child, the couple made the painful decision to surrender the child to the system shortly after his birth. That is how he spent the first few years of his life: a ward of the state, separated from his birth parents, shifted from foster home to foster home. Xavier remembers little of those days, aside from a sense of being unwanted that would only compound later in life, as he was only in the system until he was roughly four years of age.

It was then that Xavier met the woman that would become his mentor and adoptive mother: Marianne Chance. A mysterious woman in her mid-fifties, never married or had children of her own. Their first meeting was one of silence-- Xavier remembered it well. She said her name and asked his own, before staring at him, her gaze focused, as if she were looking inside of him. It was at the end of this meeting that Marianne spoke to the social worker and made it crystal clear that she intended to adopt Xavier. To Xavier and his child mind, the process was a blur and it was not long before Marianne had taken him home with her to a small but pleasant home in the countryside, not but a small drive from London. It was there that the truth of the matter was revealed after a short while: Marianne sat him down at the table for dinner one night and began to weave a tale of knights and monsters, of magic that resided within the soul, of an order that had stood for centuries in the shadows: the Knights of the Round Table, not like those of the Arthurian legend, but real and protectors of people. Marianne explained that, after a long span of dwindling and tragedy, she was the last of the Knights. . . a mantle she intended to pass on to Xavier, once she finished training him. As a child gleefully enamoured not only by the thoughts of magic and monsters, but also of having a home and being wanted, Xavier threw himself into it headfirst.

The next decade and a half of his life was spent training, balancing the demands of learning to be a guardian and learning to draw power from his own soul and the demands of normal life. To his credit, Xavier excelled, eventually graduating top of his class and, in knightly matters, having earned the mantle of a true Knight of the Round Table, the last now that Marianne could finally rest after a long life of fighting. Separate from Aegis due to the Knights distrusting the government and proper organizations after centuries of being repressed by both churches and states, Xavier works alone, attempting to be a hero and a true protector of the world in this new age.

CHARACTER POWERS

✰ CHI MANIPULATION [break]
Chi Manipulation. [break][break]

Drawing on the innate power within the human spirit and soul, Xavier is able to manipulate spiritual forces and life energy, which are the result of the cultivation of one's physical and mental aspects, such as strength or will power. Through the use of such power, a human can bolster their strength and durability, allowing them to stand up to far greater foes. Because of his own strength of will and having spent the vast majority of his life, Xavier is quite the force to be reckoned with on the battlefield, having the durability and strength to keep up with some impressive fellows. Of course, he is young, and he still has a long way to go before he reaches the apex of his power. At his current level of prowess, Xavier is capable of moving very quickly-- up to eighty miles per hour on foot and over one hundred and fifty miles per hour during chi-aided flight-- and generating the force necessary to lift a ton unaided and without strain. It also grants him the durability to fight on a level with other beings of similar strength.[break][break]

It is important to note that despite his control over chi, Xavier is still a normal human. As such, Xavier's enhanced strength, agility, durability, and any other chi aided abilities are liable to be inaccessible should Xavier become physically or mentally unable to generate the strength needed to call forth his strength. As such, his capabilities become that of an eighteen year old man in excellent shape, but still very much human.[break][break]

Chi Attacks: Xavier is able to harness his inner energy for offensive matters. He is able to use his chi to enhance physical strikes. In addition, he is able to expel the chi as pure energy and create energy attacks. [break][break]

X - Entirely reliant on physical and mental stamina. An exhausted Xavier will be able to generate no more power than a normal human of similar strength in similar conditions and an exhausted Xavier would be entirely unable to generate an external expression of ki.

X - Beings that nullify or absorb energy will likely display some level of immunity to these abilities, pending the nature of their ability. [break][break]

Chi Flight: Harnessing his chi, Xavier is able to fly. [break][break]

X - Entirely reliant on physical and mental stamina. An exhausted Xavier will be unable to fly. In addition, his speed scales with his level of exhausition as well, meaning his speed can decrease as a fight wears on him. [break][break]


Chi Augmentation: Xavier is able to use his spirital powers to enhance his physical body and grant him increased parameters. [break][break]

X - Entirely reliant on physical and mental stamina. If he becomes exhausted or is rendered unconscious, Xavier's body loses all its enhancements. [break][break]
