Personalities:
Chance:
Easygoing, seemingly cheerful, distant, vague, a daydreamer, sociable, yet keeps himself separated from getting close to people, unruffled by most things, apathetic about a lot of things.
He smiles a lot, and seems perfectly at ease with himself and everyone else, but the truth is that he's not. He feels disassociated with the world around him and like he's never really fit in, drifting aimlessly from place to place without any real sense of self or of home. He had a hard life, and a hard childhood, but the scars Chance bears are mostly emotional, rather than physical. He's not the sort of hardened teenage runaway several of the people he grew up with are; instead, he seems almost numb to the world around him, as though he's locked away most emotions until they're buried so deep he can't reach them anymore.
He's definitely pleasant to those around him; part of why he was able to be emancipated as a teenager was, as the counselor put it, his "maturity and responsibility for one at his age." He follows directions and listens well, moving methodically through the motions though there is no heart to them, no real emotion or feeling behind what he does. And while he has had a hard life, Chance doesn't see it as such, nor does he make an attempt at gaining sympathy or pity for what he's gone through. In his mind, it's merely a fact of life, and there's nothing to be gained from pushing his past onto others. He doesn't hide it, but he doesn't flaunt it either.
He's a silent dreamer, yet tells no one of what he dreams about, of what he thinks about when he's by himself or when he just seems to look out into the distance, mostly because Chance isn't even really sure himself what he wants anymore. He creates vivid scenarios inside of his head, worlds that he can pick apart and change to his liking, but he never acts on his impulses, or seems to make an effort to make any of his dreams a reality.
As for relationships, he has no qualms about a lot of things, as long as there's no attachments. He won't actively pursue anyone, but if an opportunity presents itself, then he most likely won't turn it down, because he sees little reason to.
Chance basically lives in the world, but he doesn't feel a part of it.
Ace:
Quiet, stoic, firm, but gentle, cautious, reserved.
They respect Chance and his ability to work well under pressure, but often feels disconnected with their hunter, not quite bonded at the depth which will make them work to the best of their abilities. Their relationship is not symbiotic, not yet at least; Ace listens to Chance and responds well to them but often worries about the lack of emotional ties and the distant look he sometimes has.
Why did your human character choose to become a Hunter? He grew up in a single parent household with a mother who cared little about her son or his "dark shadows," and who neglected him for the majority of his life, leaving him to fend for himself. Chance ran away when he was fifteen, living on the streets until he found a place to stay a few weeks later at a homeless shelter. With the help of an understanding (or, as Chance put it, naive) counselor and a free child legal aid office, he became an emancipated minor, got a job as a waiter, saved up money; and when he was seventeen he left the home for boys in which he had been placed and found a crappy little apartment to live in while he worked and provided for himself. And yet he still felt completely separate from everyone and everything, simply going through the motions of friendship and life without actually feeling them. Several years later, as an adult who now worked in a bookstore, when Chance was approached by the recruiting men of Deus, he seized the opportunity.
Weapon Ability: Splinter Shot: As the arrow is shot, it breaks apart into multiple arrows, which are aimed directly at the target (Swift Strikes).
Physical Description:
Eye Colour: Dark brown, almost black, slightly slanted (there are rumors he has some variety of Asian in him, but his mother had multiple partners, and Chance was never really certain which one of them was his father).
Hair Colour/Style: Black, short, and curly.
Skin Colour: Pale skinned.
Clothing Style/Colours: Hoodies mostly, jeans, dark shirts.
Extra: Body time is wiry and lithe, slightly muscled, but more on the limber side than on the stocky. He's relatively tall (close to six feet, but not quite breaking it).
References: Coat idea (obviously toned down a little to fall within coat standards)
