Chance

Chance is a recurring character within the works of Sage Cotugno. He began as a Yu-Gi-Oh fan character, and then made his first official original appearance within Cotugno's first webcomic, which had plot intentions of becoming a story about demonic possession and pirates. However, this comic is no longer publicly available. He later went on to make appearances in Sage's first-year Calarts film, The Thirsty Gargoyle (2009) as the priest, and finally, within Paraphernalia (2011) as an easter egg character.

## Appearance

The first publicly available instance of Chance that is drawn in color is within his 2003 Yu-Gi-Oh fan character appearance for Parley. In this appearance, he has white hair, hazel green eyes, and long hair which he keeps in a ponytail. In most every subsequent appearance, he has short hair.

However, this is barring his appearance in M'emo's backstory notes, in which while he maintains a very similar hair style in regards to the top part and bangs of his hair, he also has his hair done up in two large rolls over his ears. If unrolled, while it may very well simply be extensions, his hair may just as well be well past shoulder length. His colors vary slightly in this reference, featuring light blonde hair and green eyes.

Chance has pale skin with freckles, a round and youthful face, short, light, and wavy hair with a distinctive tri-part, and he wears small ovular wire-framed glasses on his nose (though he's noted in his 2003 appearance to wear them infrequently). He wears different clothes in most all of his appearances, but within Paraphernalia, he's seen wearing goggles on his head, a loose sleeved shirt with a large standing collar, a large ribbon necktie, and a single breasted sleeveless jumpsuit.

## Trivia

* In his first appearance on DeviantArt (now visually unavailable), his full name is noted to be Chancellon. This is followed by his appearance in M'emo's character sheet (something likely for Cotugno's first webcomic), where his full name is revealed to be Chancellon Falknor. He is referred to simply as Chance most everywhere else.
* His character in Parley (2003) is noted to be a "womanchaser", and while he appears with Yami Bakura, notes assure there is positively nothing between them, as Chance is definitively straight as an arrow. This assurance is later denoted as stemming from internalized homophobia.
* His appearance in The Thirsty Gargoyle's priest is not noted with much fanfare, simply described as a 'why not' sort of feature.
* M'emo, the shapeshifting, man-eating demon (dog, in paraphernalia at least) is noted to be a part of Chance's story, likely the story in Sage's first webcomic.
	+ In their shared appearance, Chance was depicted as M'emo's host body and supply of lifeforce to appear in the human world with. He was sickly, stumbling, and notably a bit wary of M'emo, though he was noted as more of a sidekick to M'emo than anything.
