Chazazz

Chazazz is the second recruitable guildling available in the game, with the first being Syb. His class is Dashling. Prior to the events of the first chapter, he was good friends with Coda before she and Syb moved away to Compass Island.

## Appearance

Chazazz is shorter than the rest of the crew, with the exception of possibly Coda, and has pale skin, with light brown windswept/messy hair. He wears a multi-colored jumpsuit and a magenta backpack with pink, yellow, and magenta colored wings. When he joins Coda's Guild, he notes that his recruitment gave him wings on his shoes as well. He also wears glasses with black rims, although he gets annoyed by Sam's glasses when we first meet her.

## Personality

Coda is generally upbeat and happy, reflected in the fact that 😂Excitement😂 is the mood required for his Dashling power, Wall Dash. Responses that give him XP include kind, patient, and excited (especially for adventuring) ones.

Just before seeing the twins, he mentions how happy he is that Coda brought him into the guild, noting that he knows he isn't always the most welcome, reflecting a deeper emotional awareness than otherwise acknowledged. In conversations in the Guildhall, he also mentions being nervous but hiding it so the others don't worry about him.

Chaz also takes the most photos, keeping photos of the Guild (minus Syb) as children ready to go.

### Typing

His typing style involves no capitals with plenty of shortened words. He often misspells words, likely as a result of him going so fast, and uses abbreviations like "bff" to refer to Palance at various points, or c to refer to Coda when talking to her.

## Relationships

### Guild

#### Coda

Coda is Chazazz's childhood best friend, and very close to Coda. He might have sent many letters to Coda when she moved away, as he mentions sending pointless letters to her is very fun when talking to Prisma. Chaz enjoys being around her.

#### Syb

Syb is mostly irritated by Chaz. When reading the letter from him in Syb and Coda's bedroom, Syb gets annoyed, calling him nerdy and over-excited. The same energy is reflected when meeting Chaz for the first time in person, with Syb getting annoyed because he is "slowing down" the quest to get her to Makeout Temple. She eventually begrudgingly compliments him when he Wall Dashes to insert the key at the top.

#### Gwynn

Gwynn and Chaz are both enthusiastic and passionate about their interests, but Gwynn is far more invested in rules and structure than Chaz, which occasionally causes tension between them. However, they still respect this difference in their personalities; when Gwynn suggests focusing on the quest at hand, Chaz complains it isn't a fun decision but concedes that it is the right one when Gwynn prompts him.

Chaz also nicknames Gwynn "Gwynny," which Gwynn hates, and "Gwynnie," which Gwynn does not vocally object to.

#### Palance

Palance and Chaz are very friendly, with them calling each other "bff", and when Gwynn temporarily leaves due to a conflict with Prisma, they call their mission the first BFF Quest. Palance also calls Chaz "Cheez," though whether this is a new nickname is not clear in the text.

#### Prisma

Prisma and Chaz are friendly, but do not seem to be very close, at least not at the beginning. This is likely because Chaz is enthusiastic about adventuring, something that Prisma tries to avoid. However, when Prisma later joins the Guild after Silas dumps Chaz and Palance into the lower level of the Halcyon Tavern, she admits she misses them.

### Others

#### Nana and Meemaw

Nana and Meemaw are Chaz's lesbian grandmas. They are close, evidenced by Nana beating up BoardCorps when Chazazz asks for their help, but Chaz is often embarrassed by them (in a parent-child way) especially when he sees evidence of Meemaw's former rebellion, like her grafitti. They also have very different views on kindness, honor, and nobility than Chaz, especially kindness.

#### Mailman Willis

Chaz has a crush on Mailman Willis, who you meet at Port Chumpus.

### Sam

Chaz seems to hate Sam, which he says is because of her rambling and long dialogue. However, Sam also seems to be completely disinterested in Chaz, something she is not shy about; whether this contributes to Chaz's opinion of her isn't entirely clear.

## Abilities

* Dashling: As a Dashling, Chazazz can dash up certain walls (marked with foot prints up vertical surfaces and the Dashling symbol) when 😂Excited😂. After he dashes up the wall, a ladder drops down for the other Guildlings to climb up.

### Combat Moves

* Jolt: Chazazz charges +4 battery and becomes 😴Tired😴.
* Hype: Chazazz loses 2 battery and becomes 😂Excited😂 and 👍Happy👍
* Aerobatics: All positive mood/yellow triangle Guildlings charge +3 battery.
* Fast Moves: Needs Chazazz to be 😂Excited😂. Removes 1-3 turns from the enemy and Chazazz becomes 😴Tired😴. This move is a one-time use per combat.
	+ Fast Moves is learned after completing the Trial of the Dashling from the wisp The Blown Shoe.

### Clam Collecting

After recruiting Chaz, he will ask for a favor. No matter how you respond, you can still pick up the Starclams lying around, to which if you said you didn't have time, he mentions this was the thing he needed help with. The initial quest needs four (4) Starclams, though you can still pick up more than four. Each Starclam picked up gives him one block of XP. Getting all 4 Starclams gives Chaz a level.

### Clam Master

After seeing Nana and Meemaw after collecting four (4) Starclams, they remind Chaz that they need eight (8) Starclams. Getting all eight (8) Starclams helps skip part of a Main Quest later in Lawnhenge, as well as giving Chaz a level.

### Missing Mail

When meeting Mailman Willis, he mentions that some mailboxes have gone missing, which Coda and Chaz can agree to help with. Getting certain mailboxes will give Chaz the 😂excited😂 mood, but some won't; each mailbox given to Willis will also give 10g. Finding the twins' mailbox can help with the Main Quest of Recruiting Guildlings/Finding the Twins. Getting all 9 boxes gives a photo of Willis and a level with Chaz.

## Trivia

* At the jukebox, Chaz doesn't seem to have an affinity for a specific band; he just presses random buttons.
* From the Guildlings' Tumblr interview with the character designer Ellen Alsop, she describes Chazazz originally having winged rollerblades rather than shoes.
	+ Alsop also refers to Chaz as her own Sonic OC
	+ Chaz is Alsop's favourite character to draw because of his potential for goofy expressions.
* Chaz was conceived as a character with a "Gene Belcher-body type".
