Chuck

* White Noise Online
* White Noise 2

*Chuck* is an unlockable Investigator in White Noise Online. He is one of the six Investigators to reappear as a unique character in White Noise 2.

## Description

Being a tough hard-rocker is not an easy task, but Chuck really knows how to make that quiff look daring!

### Appearance

Chuck is a tall male with a light skin tone. His hair is brown and in a quiff hairstyle. His eyes are hazel. Chuck wears a black, unzipped, and shiny leather jacket with long sleeves over a white shirt. His pants and shoes are also black.

## Tips

Chuck is an Investigator who is well-suited for getting around the map easily. Chuck's worse negative stat is Scout, which means the player using him will have to be very careful to stick with their group in multiplayer, but in turn means that he effectively only has one negative stat in single player. His Evasion means that his Sanity will be drained more often by Subject 23, and his Stamina being the only meaningful stat in that regard means that his only good option in most cases is to simply look away and keep walking. Chuck's best stat is his Flashlight stat, being the highest in the game, which can open up an ability to lead a group when other players have either drained their battery life or have a low Flashlight stat and intend to conserve their battery.

## Trivia

* Chuck is seemingly based on the American singer Elvis Presley, in both design and relation to Rock music.

## Tips

Chuck is a very strange Investigator, as his stats point to him staying with the group to guard or caboose, but his traits point to him splitting away from his team and finding clues on his own. Chuck's base flashlight stat is the highest in the game alongside Jin and allows him to stun The Creature from a great distance, allowing him to caboose. He also has good Endurance, allowing him to guard with a low-range flashlight or increase his survivability as a caboose. However, he has average Bravery unlike most guards or cabooses, which will force Chuck to either stop shining light on The Creature from time to time or rattle his vision up and down to cause his sanity to drain slower while facing the Creature.

As a scout, Chuck's Stealth will make him a rather unorthodox split, due to The Creature being able to find him more easily and affect him with their powers more. For example, Olkoth's SHUTDOWN forces Chuck into a 50/50 situation of either not having to worry or having a very likely chance of being caught, as typically Olkoth and Olkoth players will only use SHUTDOWN when they have found an Investigator. On a more positive note, Chuck is unaffected by Paranoia, a hidden mechanic that lowers an Investigator's Bravery and Exploration depending on how many Investigators aren't with them, and instead has those stats increased due to LONE WOLF. This, along with his incredible Flashlight stat, can allow him to split with more flashlights.

Chuck's strangest option for loud splitting would be to use his Cadet skin and the Light Bar, both of which lower his Stealth by a full point. This will constantly force the Creature's compass to point in Chuck's direction, which will help keep the Investigators who are sticking together safe, although it puts Chuck himself in significant danger as he will be affected by the Creature's powers significantly, although not as much as it would affect Rancher Nikolai or Hannah if they were to use the same flashlight. He will still be able to find Clues due to LONE WOLF. Chuck is overall better off using a different flashlight for loud splits.

## Trivia

* The **Woodcutter** skin is a reference to Jack, an Investigator in White Noise Online that used Chuck's model.
	+ Due to Jack being Chuck's only reskin, Chuck has the lowest amount of skins among all six Classic Investigators to reference characters from White Noise Online.
* Chuck is featured the least on update banners, having only been shown on the banners one time for Early Access Update #25: Mortal Coil in his Aged skin.
	+ As such, Chuck is the only Investigator whose initial appearance on an update banner uses an alternate skin.
