Chester

Spoilers ahead!This article contains spoilers for the story of Illusion Lock and Illusion Lock Village.
Chester is one of the seven residents of the island, resistant to ladybugs and weak to flowers.

## Story

Chester used to live in a town making bicycles and unicycles, and sold them in his shop. A giant hurricane destroyed his shop, leading him to decide to come to the island instead of rebuilding his shop.

Chester and Russell are seen talking at the tip of the island in IL11, where Russell asks why he is the only one who does not believe in Yotis. Chester says that he is just skeptical, and that he has faith in himself. This prompts Russell to tell him about the old god who came before Yotis, and how they were defeated.

He can be seen leaving the island with the rest of the group in IL14, and talks to Braxton about how he arrived and the treel they see before they have to turn around due to the storm. The group decides to wait out the storm in Tooth Home, and Chester along with the rest leave to look for Eleanor in IL16.

While looking for Eleanor, Chester and Braxton find Sop's house, and while Braxtons asks him not to go in Chester chooses to enter. Inside, he sees many Sop beings, causing him to quickly turn around and leave. Meeting Eleanor outside the movie theatre, Chester tells her they need to hurry, and after Georgia's soul hatches they go Yotis mode, fighting the final boss. When asked what happened when they became Yotis by Theresa in IL21, he tells her he's not sure.

At the same place as in IL11, Chester and Russell discuss how to deal with fear after Braxton leaves in IL24. Chester mentions that he faces his fears head on, but that its harder with the island falling apart, and is reassured by Russell.

When they are forced to stay in the Tooth Home due to the storm, Chester questions how they will feed it, and is told by Eleanor that they will play card games to choose who's teeth are fed to Tooth Home. Chester at first refuses, but when asked if he's afraid by Eleanor he is convinced to play. However, after six games and five teeth lost, he decides he'd rather freeze than lose more teeth and exits Tooth Home. After walking a short distance away, he runs back to Tooth Home chased by a large monster, but Eleanor refuses to open it, leading to his death. Russell calls her a monster, but Eleanor claims Chester chose his fate, and kills Russell with a beartrap.

Chester is next seen in Illusion Lock Village after reaching the mainland. In ILV04, Russell is asked by Sentinel to help save their fiancé Dishneck from the catacombs, but is told they cannot go alone. Sadie chooses Chester, and Russell and Chester enter the catacombs through a portal. Chester suggests that the mission might be a bad idea, and asks Russell to say a prayer, thanking him before they set off through the catacombs. After finding the skin-eating Five-Legged Monster, they begin battle, but it is overpowered by the smell of their fear and gives up. As a reward for saving Dishneck, they are given a symbol and invited to Dishneck and Sentinels wedding.

He can also be seen in Sop's version of Illusion Lock in ILV08, and is one of the characters Ralph sees has been turned into a tree. Chester is also seen at the wedding in ILV14, saying Russell looks snazzy.
