Chance McCloud



Introduction: I would like to begin with simple comments. This character has been around since 2011, and has seen much progression since then. Any, and all editing, will be done by only three people: Myself (Cysan), Abby Stewart (My wife), and Raltin Avarr (My most trusted friend and one I know is most knowledgeable in the latter events of Chance's Life) No one else is permitted to Edit my page, or my wiki page, without explicitly asking for permission to do so prior. I demand this for EVERYONE, including the admins, and I promise to maintain a civil manner so long as you maintain one in turn.

Chance has acquired most if not all of what's listed on this page in legitimate IC fashion, a select few items are Friend-Roleplay oriented and thus not seen outside friend circles and can be assumed as "Private Roleplay objects". Furthermore, I care not what your opinions of Chance are. He is my character, and has been a 'liquid character' since his creation (meaning, the actions of others can potentially influence Chance and his future outcomes). This being said, you can keep any and all rage to yourself.

Admins, I respect your position always and I'd ask you respect my wiki pages and not edit without informing me. I don't want to hear about you 'being unable to inform me because you're never available'. I have left plenty of information regarding contact info, and I assure you if you leave me any form of contact request I will get back to you in a timely fashion. This being said, I assure you that just about all of what's on this page is lore-abiding in some fashion and will not so irrevocably ruin the wiki's reputation.

Finally, I make mention of Chance's Demonic Realm in my wiki page. I do not bring people into the realm unless chance has no intention of killing them or I have warned them of the realm before in OOC fashion. While 'opting out' of being drawn into the realm is not always a possibility, I will ensure that a person has several if not NUMEROUS chances to escape before they are brought into the realm. Chance's Demonic Realm follows the lore of any other Demon's personal realm in that in his realm, Chance has complete control of the realm and everything within it, and in the realm Chance is the 'God'. Killing him is an impossibility. This being said, he does also follow the 'code', where those who enter are given a fair chance at survival/escape. They must, like most other personal realms, solve a puzzle crafted by the Demon who controls the realm. The puzzle can be ANYTHING. Really. Succeeding in solving the puzzle ensures the character who took part in it survives and is free to go, and in some cases makes off with a bit of spoils/power or perhaps the demon's favor. And having a demon's favor has its perks, I must say. All those who enter the realm to partake in the puzzle do so at their own risk. The 'Permission to Kill' rule which I typically struggle to follow (especially when other characters repeatedly piss mine off. Don't you just love those kinds of players?) is forfeited when you enter. you must rely on your character's and your own wits to survive. It is worth noting that being on a demon's good side before you enter its realm is often very beneficial and might just save your life. Each demon has its own personality of sorts, and their likes and dislikes differ. that being said, I am posting one of the few spoilers of Chance I EVER reveal, mostly because it's rather trivial... But Chance likes those who are witty. This, of course, is a vague quote and could mean anything. Having a witty character meet chance could be a really good idea or a REALLY bad one. That, is your risk to take.

You have been warned. If you do not wish to read, TURN BACK NOW. Otherwise, your true name has been uttered from this point on, and you are entitled to follow my rules for this page. Sit back, relax, grab some popcorn or a soda maybe, and read.

Chance's life began in a quiet estate in the region of Kandarin (but not really near Ardougne or otherwise), with the rest of his family and extended family. His family was of noble blood and wealthy, LIKE ALL OTHER FRIGGIN' FAMILIES IN KANDARIN, GOSH, however he enjoyed a quiet, casual life his family adored. He often spent his time play-fighting with his brothers and cousins, sitting on his father's lap, and when he grew slightly older, caring for his younger sister. Growing up, he always wanted to be a strong and noble warrior like his father.

This, is the forgotten life of Chance. The life you'd never expect from a murderous, life-stealing demon. What is now known of Chance is little. Littler still is known of his past. I'm about to tell you who, and what, Chance was, what happened through his life, how he ended up as he is today, and what his plans are for Gielinor... and for the Multi-planar existence.

Yes, Chance's life was quiet. He was happy and content with this life. But such things never last. It was not long after his 7th or 8th birthday that a man known only as "The King of Shadows", a mysterious figure of an even more mysterious order, the "Society of Shadows", approached his father and offered a business proposition to him. In return for two of his sons, Chance and another whose name is lost to all but the mind of Chance, he'd give the noble family a great deal more of wealth and power, and promised that his sons would become the greatest warriors to roam the land. Chance's father, seeing through the man's honeyed words to the darkness which lied within, and having a good sense of morality and honor, declined the figure's offer. This self-proclaimed King of Shadows, outraged, left with an oath that he would come back and kill the entire family. An oath that was not paid any heed... until it was too late.

The next few days carried on as usual, until one stormy day the King of Shadows returned, with some of his finest warriors, black robed, hooded figures known only as "Priests of Shadow". These figures struck unnatural fear and terror into the normally stalwart and courageous family, quickly and mercilessly cutting down family member after family member. Chance and his father, both being inside at the time, ran to the basement to take shelter. Knowing that his time had come, Chance's father, Gabriel McCloud, handed him the sacred heirloom greatsword, a sword only known as Nova, the Skeleton Key. then, stuffing Chance's pockets with as much coin as he could, and placing a backpack left in the basement storage upon Chance's shoulders, he thrust Chance into the secret passage in the basement. Chance escaped through the tunnels, and watched from the distance as the slaughter concluded, ending with his own father being beheaded by the King of Shadows, and his home, with some of his family still inside, being put to the torch. that was the last he saw of any of his family, though he does not know if any others survived, namely his beloved little sister.

With nowhere to go but forward, Chance trodded on, wandering dangerous roads by himself, dragging his family's heirloom greatsword along as he was unable to carry it, spending coin on food where he could. It was when he laid down his last three silver coins, unknowing of what it represented, upon the blue moon inn's counter, that his luck changed. The young boy, who had already attracted a few eyes from the oversized greatsword, raggedy clothing, but noble appearance, attracted the attention of a very tall white-clad patron with a funny hat and cloak. the figure said nothing, but followed the boy as he made his way to the rooms. The boy entered the rooms only to be greeted by the white-clad, oversized figure, who was now equipt with a double-bladed staff. With a tenor voice soothing and commanding, the white clad figure convinced Chance to tell him his story. Chance for the first time since his escape from the massacre cried as he unloaded all of it onto the white clad figure, who held a sad, knowing smile the entire time. It was only when the boy finished speaking that the white-clad figure introduced himself as "Cysan", who was an old family friend and had given the heirloom sword to Chance's anscestors oh so long ago. The young Chance, confused, bewildered, and shocked, couldn't so much as speak. So Cysan instead took the boy back to the Lumator manor, a giant manor of white marble, centuries old but well kept, and existing primarily in a pocket plane. for the first time in days, the boy had a full belly, and a good night's rest. He awoke to the smiling face of Seana, a woman he came to fear and love as the foster mom she was. Chance grew to know the family rather quickly, becoming a part of the family the moment Cysan had taken the young boy home. There were Cysan, and Seana, his foster mom and dad, and his two foster siblings, Michael and Rachel. Rachel reminded him somewhat of his younger sister, and lead to times where chance would cry or avoid Rachel, but inevitably led to him caring for her like she was his younger sister.

The moment the family was sure they could tell him without risking themselves, Cysan broke the news that the Lumators were, actually, a family of Icyenes. at the time, such a thing was ENTIRELY unheard of, Icyenes were but legends by then, and for a whole family to survive all these years, and relatively undetected, was astonishing. Chance may or may not have fainted. Once he had wrapped his head around it all, Chance went back to normal with his foster family, playing games, eating together as a family, occasional lessons from Cysan or Seana. He had come to the conclusion that Icyenes were, in fact, just "big winged ageless otherwise normal human beings", though he was still convinced on an occasion that his foster mom was some form of 'Witch' because when she asked him to do a chore, even if he didn't want to do it and was about to argue, he suddenly felt an overwhelming urge to do the chore. It was only later that he realized that Seana was, in fact, a Lunar Mage of sorts, having spent years with the Moonclan. This explained her unusually calm, sweet behavior, and her ability to grow a beautiful garden, make wounds 'magically disappear' with a song and a bandage, and convince him to do just about any chore she asked of him.

Growing up around Icyenes was beneficial as it was different. His new family's lifestyles were vastly different than what he was used to, though they were not as different as one would think. They still celebrated Wintumber, they ate as a family, and they played games together. However, there were no servants doing everything for them, they did not go out in public often, if ever, magic was fairly common in the family, and Capes, hoods, and weaponry were almost always a requirement for outside travel. The family clearly had ways of staying un-noticed. The cloaks they had were enchanted to fit the whole wingspan once the family member reached adulthood.
