Chance Medici

Chance Medici is a character in Thirlcrest Academy. He is a member of the Outcasts and an ex-Greaser and is played by CRPED.
== Appearance ==
Chance is 1 7 years old and stands at 6'1. He sports his hair usually messy and grown out, although his hairstyle has changed based on his maturity, personality and what clique he was in. His eyes are a very, very dark brown, almost dark enough to the point where the pupils are not easily seen, a trait that was passed down by his father.
Chance, being a former Wide Receiver for Thirlcrest's football team, is well built and quick on his feet, although he doesn't have the strength of the Jocks' linemen (although can still beat them in a fight, as demonstrated during his fight with Bucky at the baseball field, where Bucky sustained near brain damage.)
Chance is known to dress depending on mood and the clique he's in, similar to his hair, but his clothing has also gotten more mature as he aged. 
Chances' most distinct feature, and probably the most irritating or offending one, is his prevalent East Coast Italian-American slang. Chance has a thick New York accent that is so recognizable, it's gotten him in trouble in dire situations where he had to be covert, as he can be recognized off his voice alone.
== Characteristics and Personality ==
Chance has matured a great deal since the beginning of Thirlcrest's 2007 school year. He made many poor decisions, and his personality went through great changes and shifts.
Chance was initially irritating, obnoxious, violent and abrasive. His self-hating homophobia, which is a fairly common trope in many characters, manifested itself into rage, greed, drug abuse and paranoia. He often went rogue in the Greasers, despite being one of their better fighters and more active members. The influence of Benjamin, the former Greaser high rank, also played a part in driving Chance to bouts of anger and distrust amongst his own friends, although during Ben's conflict with Ricky, Chance wouldn't take Ben's side, prompting the beginning of a complicated friendship between the two, and the Greaser's distrust in Chance which boiled over into him leaving. Chance also attempted to kill Rhys several times, due to his immediate dislike of him as Rhys was openly gay, and lived as a constant reminder that Chance was too insecure to be the same way. His relationship with Rhys would always be strained and deeply affected by Chance's past actions, no matter how much he got better.
With the arrival of Havoc Hive, having already been suspended twice and nearly expelled, Chance's relationship with Akechi seemed to be a positive influence on him, although he quickly grew angry at Havoc Hive (particularly one of it's members) for occasionally calling him out and even threatening him. Chance, having fought in physical altercations with Havoc Hive, wanted nothing more than to find and attack them, but his detaining and rehab prevented him from being present at the finale of their situation. 
Shortly after, Chance's paranoia-induced jealously of Kenny and Akechi led to him kidnapping and torturing Kenny, although he didnt remember until shortly after. This effectively alienated him from sympathy, and it showcased the serious issues he had.
This snowball effect led to Akechi's attempted suicide and leaving Thirlcrest, Chance's drugging of Caesar to defend Kenny, Caesar outing Chance to press, and Chance's severe harassment and death threats from other Greasers, leading him to leave and separate himself from Thirlcrest's drama. People already thought Chance was irritating, but the shitty things he had done only fueled the flames.
Chance found himself recognizing how much of an obnoxious hothead he had been, but he wouldn't mature past it until his relationship with Ari began. Chance completely reassessed the circumstances he had been put through and realized that the violent attitude and obnoxiousness he felt defined his personality was completely his own doing. Chance finally gained the understanding to look past the bad influences he had been given and shitty ideas he had encouraged and grew the fuck up. 
== Character Background ==
Chance Medici was born in The Bronx, New York City, and grew up around East Grand Concourse and Fordham road. He was raised by Italian-American parents in an area where the Italian population began to dwindle. His father, Rocco Medici, was a welder and experienced in metal-working and mechanics, while his mother was a social worker. Chance’s father had heavy mob connections and knew Al (the greaser prefect)’s father, and the two became close until Rocco’s sudden death when Chance was around 13, which was ruled a suicide drowning, although many people including Chance himself believe that Rocco was murdered, and Chance seeks revenge for his father after he leaves Thirlcrest. Chance and Al grew up together and eventually became almost like brothers.
Chance began to commit crimes and lash out pretty frequently due to internalized personal hatred of his own sexuality and his father's absence in his life, and bitterness he developed from his parents, including 1-2 mental breaks thought to be brought on by stress which presented several instances of unnecessary, severe anger, He was raised for the remaining 2 years by his single mother before his arrest.
Chance would eventually go to a party in Manhattan, sneaking out of his fucking house to do so. He would meet up with one his friends, Jason Mattinger, who was someone he would often stay up with until midnight, drinking by the pier. The two had gotten very close over the years and shared their first kiss while drunk at the party. Chance, who had not confronted his own feelings yet, was caught by other friends he knew, one's who ridiculed him for the situation. Needing to act fast and demonstrate that "Jason kissed me, I didn't kiss that faggot" the group of boys asked Chance to prove it by beating Jason severely. They, essentially, asked him to commit a hate crime. And, he obviously went through with it, because it ended him in Thirlcrest.
Chance waited for Jason to exit the party, where he attacked him with a bat and attempted to beat him severely, taking his anger out on him. He could be heard yelling slurs, but after a while he fled into the rain, and ran until his legs couldn't keep up with his brain. He doubled over, threw up, and fucked up his life, right then and there.
Chance was later caught by the NYPD and taken into custody. The family chose not to press charges, and originally Chance was to be tried as an adult and maybe even get attempted murder and other severe charges, but the situation was deemed less severe on the attempted murder and Chance was transferred to Juvenile Court due to his age and past history of death and mental health issues. He was sent to Thirlcrest as a way of heavy reformation and takes medication, sometimes being sent to counseling or other therapy although the school’s poor maintenance allows him to avoid the reformation program. Chance currently lives in the Greaser-dominated area of Thirlcrest County, where he befriended and eventually joined them due to their common heritage and likes of similar things.
Chance is to spend the remainder of his years as a minor at Thirlcrest until his graduation, where his behavior, rehabilitation, attendance, mental health and academic proficiency will be evaluated. If there are not up to standards, he will be tried as an adult and sent to prison for numerous charges, possibly being severe.
