Chel Inaba/History

## Early Life

As an orphan most of her childhood, Chel caused trouble and ran away from various orphanages that took her in. Chel was alone most of her childhood often times relying on her skills and abilities alone to find food and shelter for her survival. With the multiple times Chel has caused trouble in the Gray Zone the cops began to know her name and formed a love-hate relationship for her. Chel has been arrested on multiple occasions and released early because of constant cooperation with authorities.

## Kingsway Initiation

One day when Chel was arrested and thrown into jail, she was bailed out by a third-party. A mysterious man had entered the police station and instantly the authorities knew him and greeted him with high honors. Chel was hesitant and curious on who it is, the man introduces himself as "Flicker". Flicker tells Chel that he has been closely watching her ever since her name was known to the authorities and gangs in the Gray Zone. Most to Chel's surprise, she did not know that she was well-known. Flicker proceeds to flick a coin to her and tells her that once she's out, "Find a warehouse complex marked with the same symbol on the coin". The coin has the same symbol as the logo on Chel's Hat, it was the Kingsway logo.

The day after, Chel proceeds towards the Warehouse that was marked with the Kingsway logo. Having the coin in hand and examining it closely, the doors open as if someone knew Chel was there. A dark open warehouse area is revealed with the middle area dimly lit revealing a vending machine. Chel approaches the vending machine cautiously and examines it. The only thing in the vending machine was a Walkman in it. The coin slot on the vending machine has writing scribble on it reading "INSERT HERE, DUMBASS". Chel frowns at the writing and inserts the coin she received from Flicker into the machine and punches in the number to dispense the Walkman. The Walkman falls with a "thunk" sound and Chel reaches into the vending machine to retrieve it. She then puts on the Walkman's headphones and presses the play button on the device. The tape plays out a voice of a man, the voice was instantly recognized as Flicker's voice. Flicker welcomes Chel and explains to her that she is in the heart of the "Kingsway" gang territory. The voice on the tape explains that he formerly invites Chel into the gang and that her abilities would help and be improved for the gang's cause. Chel makes a remark that the invitation would have been fine in-person and that she doesn't trust Flicker nor does she anyone else. The voice on the tape comments on this remark as if it knew what Chel was thinking. Flicker's voice explains that the invitation is this way as a "test of her abilities" and proceeds to tell her that the test had already started.

The vending machine starts ticking and rumbling, Chel jumps back and readies herself as the machine starts revealing weapons that start targeting her. Chel runs and slides past the machine while grabbing the power plug and yanks the plug from the socket. Chel is then electrocuted and knocked out from unplugging the machine. Awakening from her unconciousness, Chel is strapped to a seat
