Chad

*"The President of the Tri-Alphas and Sage's boyfriend. I'd rather stay away from him, but I may be on his radar."*

## Appearances

### Debut

Episode 1

**Chad** is a student at Burgmeister & Royce and is the former President of the Tri-Alphas fraternity. Throughout most of the first two seasons he serves as an antagonist to the MC, and through Chad the MC learns who Sage is early in the game.

## Physical Appearance

Chad has blond hair and broad shoulders and is very muscular. He is a very obvious jock and seems to fit the physical stereotype overall.

## Personality and Traits

Chad can react impulsively, even violently to stressful situations, though on the whole appears less volatile than other members of the Jocks. After he is removed from fraternity, he warns them to lay low and not do anything stupid. He is dedicated to his former fraternity and protective of his brothers. However, Chad can be very aggressive, especially against the MC.

In the closing montage to Episode 7, Chad is revealed to be in a relationship with Troy, who he has been seeing behind Sage's back. Chad appears to be determined to conceal this, though there are hints that Melanie and Sarah know the truth about his sexuality. If the MC later chooses to tell Sage about it, she says it makes sense, probably based on how Chad behaved around her while they were dating. Earlier we had already learned that Sage was very frustrated by Chad's lack of physicality with her.

## History

Chad first appears in Episode 1, where the MC can choose to stay quiet or fight him when he harasses Sage.

Chad appears in a flashback, where he takes Sage away from Rusty as Rusty tries to promote the (at the time) new DIK fraternity.

Throughout the game the MC often is in opposition to Chad as the MC helps (or chooses not to) Sage find out who Chad is cheating on her with. In Episode 2, the MC finds Chad in the gym talking on the phone to the person he is cheating on Sage with. Dawe catches the MC and the MC has to fight Dawe, but can choose to fight the rest of the Jocks when they appear. Chad appears worried when Dawe explains the situation to him.

At the end of Episode 3, the jock fraternity house receives 2 envelopes, titled Chad and Dawe. Chad becomes extremely enraged and ambushes the MC outside the prep's mansion. The MC can choose to win or lose to Chad in the fight, but by the end of the fight, Chad runs away after knocking the MC. Jill comes to help the MC. Later, the MC, Jill, Chad, and some faculty appear in the counselor's office where Chad admits to hitting the MC. The MC can choose to help Chad or stay quiet. Chad is banned from the jock fraternity and for the rest of the game appears to lay low.

Chad confronts Sage and they break up. Later, the MC catches Chad with Troy as they are making out in the gym. The MC can choose to tell Sage or not.

In Episode 10, Chad is re-inducted into the Alphas, although not as their President. Chad's Vice President Dawe succeeded him, with Anthony succeeding Dawe as Vice President.

## Relationships

#### **Jocks**

Chad was the president of The Jocks; he is forced to quit after ambushing and beating up the MC, but is re-inducted later on, but not as President. All the Jocks seem to respect Chad- even Dawe, who doesn't respect anyone else.

#### **DIKs**

Chad is an enemy of the DIKs, due to both the DIKs attempting to steal the HOTs, and the MC's potential relationship with Sage.

#### **HOTs**

Chad's relationship with the HOTs as a whole is unclear, but at least Melanie and Sarah know Chad's true sexual orientation.

#### **Sage**

Throughout the game, Chad is cheating on Sage with Troy. They do not get along, but Sage finds it difficult to let him go.

#### **Main Character**

Chad is often in opposition to the MC, as he tells him to leave Sage alone and can mock him and the other jocks in different situations. They both later get in a fight after Chad receives some photos that may ruin his and the Jocks reputation. After both him and MC are called by the teachers because of their fight the previous day and Chad gets punished for his actions, Tremolo may choose to defend him, which improves their relationship. Chad later defends the MC from Alex during the HOTs party, telling him that MC ¨is cool¨.
