Chris Young/History

The full history of Chris Young, a recurring character in the SapphireFoxx Universe and the main protagonist of Different Perspectives, Matchmaker, and various other series.
== Early Life ==
Chris was born in 1996. His parents are Scarlett Young and Nolan Young. His father Nolan was an Emerald sorcerer, while his mother Scarlett was a non-blood, so Chris was born as a mixling Emerald sorcerer. Nine months after he was born, he had a sister named Jessica Young, making them "Irish twins", according to Isabelle.
When Chris was around seven years old, Chris's parents had a third child, however, it was stillborn, and the child died when she was prematurely taken out by the doctors. To comfort a devastated Scarlett, Nolan decided to create an alternate female personality using enchantment magic, and he lived a double life in secret to his family. Nolan's knowledge of magic is limited, so he only knew how to transform through wearing female's clothing. One day, on April 25, 2003, while Nolan is trying to turn back from his female persona, he accidentally gave the enchantment to Chris, also giving him the power to transform using women's clothing.
Several years after, when Chris was nine years old, his father Nolan died, caused by an accident. Isabelle, however, seems to be doubting the cause of death. Before he died, Nolan wiped the memory of Scarlett where she knew that Nolan is a sorcerer, for unknown reasons. As such, Nolan has not said to either Chris or Jessica that they're both sorcerers as well, and they live their everyday lives unaware of the fact, until Isabelle first met Chris.
== Main Timeline ==
=== Different Perspectives ===
Chris was first introduced in the comic Different Perspectives. He found out that he had the power to transform into women by wearing their clothes after he mistakenly wore a sweater of his sister Jessica instead of his own. After discovering this power, he later experimented with turning into different women such as his sister Jessica, his mom Scarlett, his then-girlfriend Holly, and various other girls. Initially he uses this power for a bit of personal gain and to try and help out his friends and family, but he soon realizes the unfortunate side effect. After being transformed for so long he begins to think and somewhat act like the woman he's transformed into. His mind becomes clouded by foreign thoughts, and it becomes continuously more difficult to control. As a result, he begins to get himself into more and more trouble but still tries to use his unusual power sparingly. He then decides to experiment a bit and goes shopping for women's clothing as himself. He discovers that unowned clothing will reshape his body into a female version of himself and this results in him creating a female persona he names Christina. However, a short time after transforming into her he feels what he assumes is a migraine. In reality however, the side effect of his power has occurred again, this time duplicating his own soul and creating a second Female persona'ed soul within his own body Christina Young. This goes unnoticed for a while however and Chris transforms back before he can realize the impact.
After a few more close calls and getting into a few more awkward and regrettable situations he decides to stop using his power and get rid of all the female clothing he's collected thus far. However, before he does this his girlfriend Holly comes over and while he's in the shower discovers the selfie Chris took of his Christina body to remember her by. She accuses him of cheating on her, but Chris is forced to come clean and reveal his powers to Holly to prevent her from breaking up with him. He again turns into Christina and Holly is surprisingly accepting. She eventually insists that they have their date night with Chris as a girl and admits to him she's bisexual. After a day out the two returns to Holly's house and have lesbian sex much to each other's pleasure and ware themselves out for the night. The next morning however when Chris wakes up his mind has fully blacked out to Christina who seems to think that she and Holly are bot girlfriends, but best friends and she's freaked out by being naked in bed with her. Holly realizes this and uses a hat to transform Chris' head back to snap him out of it. Though they are both shocked that Christina took over despite the fact she isn't supposed to be real Chris is confident he can keep her under control and manage his powers.
Over the next few weeks Chris and Holly have a fight when circumstances lead to Chris questioning if Holly prefers girls and may still have feelings for a girl she had once dated briefly named Kayla. The two fights but to be sure of his suspicions he uses his powers to create a kind of mixed mash girl he calls Heidi to spy on Holly on Halloween. He discovers he was wrong about Holly and how she and Kayla have become more like sisters than girlfriends but the mix of different women begins to drive Chris out of his mind until Holly comes to his rescue having been smart enough to figure out who she/he was. The two then make up and try and go back to having a good relationship now spiced up with occasional lesbian sex with Chris transformed.
Weeks later Chris begins to have thoughts from Christina even when not transformed, mainly around his fellow football player Derrick whom Christina seems to have a crush on. Fearing this is a sign of his powers getting out of control he and Holly both agree the best choice is for him to stop all together and get rid of all his women's clothes for good this time. Early the next morning however Chris knocks a piece of Christina's clothing onto his head in his sleep causing her to take over and a short time after waking up she learns the truth of how she's not real and trapped inside Chris' body. She fully transforms and puts several measures in place to prevent Chris from erasing her. Chris eventually wakes up and fights her for control back hoping to stop using his power and she will eventually fade away with Holly at his side to watch his back. Soon after however, Jessica confronts him on stealing her clothing and rather than be thought of as a crossdresser reveals his power to her as well. Jessica being a bit selfish and snobbish tells him he'll have to do a few favors for her for stealing her clothing.
About a week later Holly goes on a weekend trip with her parents and Chris is shocked to find Christina has been biding her time in the background and takes control of the body from him. She then uses stashes of clothing to transform back into her own form and Chris is unable to stop her from going on a date night and eventually sleeping with Derrick while Chris goes to sleep inside their now shared mind. Chris wakes up before Christina the next morning and manages to avoid a bit of morning awkwardness with Derrick to wake Christina up and agrees that if she sends him away for the moment they can negotiate for shared control of the body. Christina agrees and the two begin to talk things out seeing they are both stuck with each other and fighting for control is just going to hurt them both. The two personas then begin to arrange how they can share the body and Chris arranges for Jessica to learn the truth of Christina while Scarlet is led to think she is just a close friend of both of them.
Upon her return Holly is upset about the situation but agrees to try and coup with it. She insists that Chris looks into his powers more but he's not sure where to start. After a month however, Chris waits for Holly at the mall when he meets Isabelle Arrington who senses the truth and reveals to him (and Christina) that he is a Sorcerer. After she explains things as best, she can to him, Holly and Jessica, they all go to Isabelle's parents Norah and Sebastian who shed light on his situation with Christina and how it's a magical side effect that originated with an incident with his father. At first Sebastian wants to remove the enchantment on Chris and effectively kill Christina and she at first agrees feeling she can never live the life she wants and is only a burden on Chris at this point but both Chris and Jessica argue and admit after getting to known her she is like the sister they never had. Isabelle then suggests a few high level spells such as Regeneration and Mass Memory Alter that combined could. give Christina her own life and body. The Young siblings and the Arringtons agree to a plan and set things in motion to free Christina to live her own life and free Chris of her.
Over the next several months Jessica, Chris (and by extension Christina) are trained in magic by the Arringtons and though they do get into a bit of trouble Isabelle manages to help them out and she and Chris begin to grow rather close. The siblings then learn the truth about their father Nolan and how Chris got his powers in the first place thanks to Norah, and all are hopeful to soon set the issue of Chrisitan being stuck inside of Chris behind them. Chris and Holly's relationship struggles a bit due to Holly feeling uncomfortable with Christina inside of him giving them a lack of privacy but despite this they agree to try a few things out and stay together once the two siblings are separated. Eventually the preparations are complete and the Arrington's friend Dantella successfully grows a new body for Christina to be transferred into allowing her and Chris to be separated. After completion both siblings are overjoyed to be free and able to embrace each other as separated people. Isabelle then casts MMA and thus allows Christina to live life as if she had been born as Chris' twin sister and Chris joins her Jessica and their mother Scarlet on a family day to celebrate the success, but they refrain from telling Scarlet the truth.
Over the next few months of adjusting, Chris and Holly have continued their relationship and he is grateful that she's stuck by him through all the madness. The group of them and Isabelle then graduate High school and after becoming much better skilled in magic with the Arringtons' help decide to spend the summer traveling around with their new powers and seeing the world. Though Chris and Holly seem happy together Chris also seems to be growing closer to Isabelle.
=== Matchmaker ===
After the events of Different Perspectives, Chris returns once again as the protagonist of Matchmaker. Chris and his sisters Jessica and Christina are being trained in magic by Isabelle. Chris, in particular, is being taught mind-reading and he took multiple attempts before he successfully casts that spell. He is also introduced to Izzy's best friend Claire Dupont who sees the clear attraction between him and Izzy but wonders why they don't act in as she is unaware of Chris dating Holly. After Claire leaves Holly arrives and it revealed she's been having Chris use his powers to become other girls for her for fun and dates. Chris goes along with her sculpted girl for a beach date but at the same time he begins to wonder if she prefers him as a girl and his mind reading seems to get a bit out of hand and offends Holly who doesn't like the idea, he can read her thoughts at will. Chirs and Holly have been fighting more and more ever since graduation and seem to be growing apart. Chris is becoming more and more annoyed at Holly wanting him to use his powers to "spice up" their relationship and feels she is no longer interested in the real him and has becoming more and more attracted to Isabelle. He liked it at first to make her happy but is growing sick of it. Isabelle confronts him on it and tells him to talk things out with Holly, but he's already tried, and she just calls him selfish for it. He then transforms back on their date but this only makes Holly more hostile.
A few days later Chris hears an alarm from his sister's room and runs in to find they have burned their mother Scarlet's wedding dress after miscasting a spell. Chris is then forced to transform into Scarlet to get a new tailored dress but while doing so he blacks out and begins thinking he is Scarlet much faster than when he used his enchantment due to his lack of training and Jessica and Christina are forced to call in the help of Claire when Isabelle won't answer. Claire transforms him back just as Isabelle arrives to berate him for his carelessness. Despite this however the two still show an attraction to each other. The next day Chris is training in Shield magic with Isabelle while Claire watches. As they talk however Chris gets distracted and Isabelle's attack pierces his shield and punches a hole through one of his lungs. Forced to act fast Izzy uses blood magic to trigger his regeneration ability of his Emerald Blood to save him and after she sends Claire away embraces and cries into his shoulder fearing she could have killed him. Chris doesn't blame her and embraces her clearly feeling a connection as Claire can see from a distance thinking the two stubbornly refuse to act on their feelings and decides to be their matchmaker.
A couple days later Chris is asked out by a construct Claire created in the image of Isabelle as part of her Matchmaker scheme and Chris accepts after she tells him they are going to the Sorcerer Capitol of Mont Blanc. Chris and the construct Izzy go there on a rather enjoyable date ending it in a park area called Make Our point in Arcane tung. However, before he can kiss her the real Izzy and Claire show up and reveal the truth after Claire's efforts with Izzy backfired and revealed the truth about Chris being with Holly already. Izzy talks with him and says they shouldn't be friends anymore thinking she is the reason he and Holly have been having so much trouble. Though Chris tearfully begs her not to go she leaves wishing him the best with Holly. Claire apologizes and confronts Chris on how he wasn't shocked when the truth came to light, but he reveals he knew all along because the construct was left-handed. He wanted to know what it was like to be on a date with Isabelle, so he tried to justify going out with a construct as not actually cheating on Holly but still thinks he's horrible for feeling that way. Days later Chris is moping in his room when Jessica and Christina confront him on his issues with Holly. Chris has tried to reignite the spark since Isabelle left but nothing seems to have worked and both his sisters tell him that if things have really gotten that bad between them, he needs to decide to either try and fix things of end them and move to Isabelle. They then leave Chris to mull things over in his room.
Soon after Chris goes to have a serious talk with Holly to try and mend things but when he confronts her on the issues, he's having with her obsession with transforming but she still thinks he's overreacting. Chris out right says he feels she's no longer interested in the real him and makes her promise to stop making him transform. She does but despite her earlier protests Chris reads her mind and detects she plans to talk him back into it later and feels since her conservative parents would never let her be with another girl, she sees a guy who can turn into a girl as the next best thing. Chris confronts her on the lies, but she gets more hostile over him reading her mind despite her telling him not to and the two officially break up no longer trusting each other. A week later Chris goes to the Arringtons to admit his feelings for Isabelle and tell her that their break up was not her fault. Both she and Chris admit they missed one another and after a short time they agree to a proper date. The two go out a few days later and have Sushi in Japan. They end the night shairng a kiss on the Seatle space needle and go as far as to have sex that night. Chris and Isabelle then soul meld for the first time much to his shock but the two seem even closer after that.
Chris goes home the next morning but finds a doppelganger of himself in the living room much to his shock. He tries to figure out whats going on and confides in Christina who is just as confused as him but after Isabelle teleports in and kisses the double he confronts them all and Isabelle reveals that its Scarlet who was transformed by a Transformation stone Chris carelessly left on his bed the night before. With the chaos caused by this the Young siblings are forced to admit to Scarlet and Mark the fact they are sorcerers and tell them the story of what happened over the past year. Its then revealed thanks to Isabelle that Nolan did in fact tell Scarlet about his sorcerer heritage but erased her memories of it for some reason. With the truth revealed Izzy and Chris are happy to put a few things behind them and embrace their new relationship. Izzy then takes to calling Chris "Cynthel" as a form of pet name like "honey" or "sweetie" in arcane tung. A couple months later Scarlet and Mark are married and Chris attends with the rest of his family and Isabelle as his date.
=== Maker's Game ===
Set a year after Matchmaker, Chris returns as one of the main characters of Maker's Game, but this wasn't known until later in the story. Chris bought an neural VR (NVR) headset to play a new game called Age of Adventurers, where players get to be inside the game playing as their own character. During the character customization, Chris chose to be a female Sun Elf Paladin, with the in-game name Cynthel.

A few months after the events of Maker's Game, Chris returns in the miniseries Swap Poker. Chris and Isabelle are drinking and hanging out in their new apartment, along with Claire and her boyfriend Brian who visited them as well. Claire suggested that they play some strip poker, and everyone agreed to it. Chris is all for it and enjoys the double date fully feeling that Isabelle is the love of his life at this point. The group plays several rounds of strip poker until they get close to the end of the round. At this point Claire suggests they turn it into a game of swap poker where the losers have to transform a part of their body into their significant others in place of stripping clothing. Izzy tells Chris he doesn't have to do it if it makes him uncomfortable as she's aware of his bad history with transforming into women. Chris however knows it's all in good fun and agrees. The game goes on until both couples end up fully swapped and Izzy is the winner of the last hand. By this point everyone around the table is drunk and too inebriated to cast spells properly. Chris and Izzy return home using her warp stone and after seeing they can't change back without Arcane Burning themselves they eventually take a bit of Claire and Brian's advice and try out having sex while swapped. While Chris is insistent it's a onetime thing, they both enjoy it and seem to learn a lot about how to please each other from the experience.
=== Ashes To Ashes ===
Chris appeared as a minor character in Ashes to Ashes. Isabelle asked a favor from Chris to go with her when she plans to apologize to Ashley after they fought in a park due to a misunderstanding with Isabelle curing Ashley's gender curse. He agreed to join her, and they went to Ashley's house afterwards. Once there after the two girls make up they are shocked to learn Ashley's new girlfriend is Holly, Chris' ex. At first Holly is hostile towards the two of them and thinks Chris cheated on her with Isabelle due to picture of him and her in Dubai a month before they broke up not realizing it was Claire transformed at that time. Despite her hostilities Chris is much more mature and congratulates Holly on finding a perfect girlfriend. Both he and Holly make up and agree it was best for them to end things and move on as Chris found his soulmate in Isabelle and Holly accepted, she was a lesbian and is very happy with Ashley. Both of them begin to rekindle as friends from then on.
=== Godmother ===
Chris appears briefly in the comic Godmother where he and Isabelle are having a weekend date in the Bahamas where Izzy is supposed to be curing a few targets for Alistair. He enjoys the trip with Isabelle but when Alistair arrives to question why she hasn't done her job yet he is a bit embarrassed he's kept her from her work for so long. Nevertheless, the couple continue their date while Alistair moves to cure a target at the beach resort. While they pass close by to them neither Chris nor Isabelle takes any notice of Oliver/Caroline or Brooke while on the trip.
=== Rookie Mistake ===
While at his apartment with his sisters Jessica and Christina, Chris talks about how Isabelle wants him to learn magic from her master Alistair Huntington. However, Chris has said that Alistair would only teach him if he became his apprentice like Isabelle and Ashley, assisting in curing gender curses. Chris has been nervous thinking about that offer, thinking that he might mess up and disappoint both Alistair and Isabelle, but Jessica and Christina talked him into accepting that offer, arguing that Chris practically has more experience with gender swapping than Alistair and Isabelle combined.
On his first assignment however, Chris finds a guy named Brandon he assumes is his target based on a number of factors around his room. He can't sense the Gender Curse inside of him so he hopes that transforming him will help bring it out. He fully transforms him into a girl in his sleep failing to realize the actual target is his girlfriend, a transgender women named Alexis. He leaves before realizing his mistake planning to return for the curse later. While its never seen, based on him later being confirmed to be one of Alistair's Apprentices it can be assumed he either returned himself and realized his mistake or Alistair and/or Isabelle realized it and fixed it for him. Though the later possibility likely came with a scolding.
=== Top It Off ===
Chris and Isabelle went to a bakery called Sophie's Sweets to buy some cupcakes. While at the bakery, Chris noticed that one of the bakers is cursed, and proceeds to cure the baker, with Isabelle handling the mass memory alter. Chris transforms the baker step by step as he is sculpting a bride figurine for a wedding cake until he (now she) becomes her true self Audrie. He and Isabelle then playfully confront her about it as they ask for some cupcakes to go. He then gets a restaurant recommendation from Audrey and plans to take Izzy there on a date one day.
=== The Night Is Young ===
Chris and Jessica are sparring and training magic at their university's gym. Chris wanted to improve his magic and fighting skills after what happened to him during the events of Maker's Game. Jessica has grown skilled as well and hopes to break Chris' winning streak in their matches, but Chris has been training with Alistair on occasion at this point and is still more skilled than her. He continues regular sparing sessions with Jessica and learns of her new vigilante career as the Pink Knight finding men on her college campus who are known for sexual harassment and abuse of other girls and transforming them into women as punishment. Together with Izzy and Alistair they test Jessica's drive during one of their sparing matches and with new motivation to better herself finally beats Chris in the final round. Chris then congratulates her and they are soon joined by Alistair in construct form who feels its time to tell Jessica the truth about who and what he is and their mission but is not yet ready to offer her an apprenticeship. Chris then leaves with Izzy for a date night while Alistair takes Jessica to his Island.
=== Awakening ===
Chris comforts a devastated Isabelle Arrington in a sorcerer hospital after the death of Isabelle's mother Norah Arrington at the hands of Sylvana Huntington. He then learns of her pursuit of Sylvana despite Alistair's protests. Knowing he will never be able to talk her out of it he agrees to help them and joins the rest of Alistair's allies and apprentices in the reformed Saphire Legion. He helps both Alistair and Isabelle in freeing Sylvana's minions the Enlightened after they find her base. Alistair then teleports over a thousand Enlightened to his Island where Chris and Claire are waiting and work in unison to remove their curse without the explosive ruins Sylvana placed on them killing them. They are successful but Alistair and Isabelle fail, and Chris is devastated to see her return wounded. Chris is able to heal her with his skill in emerald magic and confers with Alistair that Sylvana has restored her human form and is now far more powerful. He then explains that he needs to do the same if they stand a chance of defeating her now. Chris protest that the ritual to do so would require a full bodies worth of blood from Isabelle his only known remaining direct descendant but Alistair explains taking small amounts of blood out gradually would not be fatal to her but it would prevent her from using magic for a certain time. Despite Chris' concerns Isabelle agrees to the plan.
Chris then attends Nora's funeral and offers what comfort he can to Isabelle, over the next week he also helps Claire gather a few fresh ingredients for Alistair's ritual but also watches in horror and disgust when news is broadcast about Sylvana's growing support and Enlightened forces creating a lot of problems in the sorcerer and even the Nonblood world. Soon after he is at home when one of Sylvana's minions tricks him by shape shifting into Isabelle and getting him to lead them to the island. Their plan succeeds and Sylvana and her followers confront and attack the New Sapphire Legion in the battle of Alistair's Island. During the battle Chris mainly aides Jessica and Claire in defending the central chamber from Sylvana's sorcerer followers but they are too outnumbered. Chris is forced to take drastic action and uses power crystals to create a tremendous explosion that kills all of the followers and leaves him severally wounded and unconscious. It also leaves the central chamber a crater and breaches the Curse Vault. While he is found by Jessica and Claire who had teleported away before the blast none of them can stop Sylvana from discovering the stores of curses from the vault and unleashing them back on the world like a plague.
Chris is left wounded and unconscious when the Legion is forced to flee the destruction of the island and is brought to Cinder Isle by the others where members of the legion begin rotations of healing him.
