**Chuck Dunham** is a fictional character appearing in *the Rage Knights: Red God* universe created and written by Khaliq Trevor X. Like mostly all incarnations of this character, Dunham is the lead pastor, founder, king, president, and minister of Risen Church.

## Origins

Chuck Dunham is a wealthy televangelist, and king who succeeded his father and arose to become the leader and main founder of Risen Church. With this new church under his helm, he built hundreds of Risen Church campuses across Matthews-Germany, and parts of the United States.

After acquiring so many campuses, he began shortly releasing dozens of best-selling books about his faith, and helping others. Despite his successes, Dunham had controversies in regards to his his church's policies and vague moralities, as well as unclear doctrines that border on pop psychology and less on scriptures.

Regardless of how the media portrays him, Dunham became a sensational preacher and began implementing comedy into his sermons including the usage of bicycles, live concerts, beautiful women and men singing Gospel Songs, and Dunham's Pet Goat. During his colorful entrances, he rides onto stage and prepares his sermons at the climax of every concert. When speaking, he shouts in a stereotypical manner of a funny black pastor complete with church organ music.

### Post-Dareleneum

When Darla Bradley died, Dunham learned via text from a volunteer that Damon Bradley stopped attending church, and held a sermon about the manner and indirectly mentioned Bradley stopping his attendance due to Darla. He claimed that Bradley stopped attending due to praying for his mother's long life, but Bradley had in fact quit volunteering and engaging with churchgoers due to encountering Nightmare Prayers and the staff referring to him as "guy with the ugly face".

After Chuck was informed by volunteers about Bradley explaining his departure, he began holding more sermons and speaking more directly about Bradley and the Rage Knights, as well as often saying he didn't care what people thought about him (possibly referring to Bradley's departure, and online articles about the Rage Knights). Some members believed he held a prejudice against super-humans and the superhero community, but this was brushed off as Damon Bradley and the Rage Knights simply being Risen Church critics. Chuck still became offended over Bradley's departure, and at some point, he revealed his super human background which included the ability to speak with Goats.

Dunham's Pet Goat became a staple of his performances and Sunday sermons, with the goat often agreeing or showing her affection for Dunham. She would later warn Dunham about Phallax's appearance inside Risen Church. The Goat-like demon appeared only because of slander about Bradley, as well as strange warehouse goons and other employees across the city showing up in Goth Pants, Fur Coats, and Rotten Teeth to express their dislike for Bradley, the Rage Knights, and endlessly calling people names to make them angry, have breakdowns, or possibly become depressed.

Dunham disliked the appearances from odd members and demons, believing it to be some form of criticism against the church, and a prelude to public scrutiny. As a result, Dunham fought a mental battle against Phallax to remove the goat from inside the store. This became a more drawn out fight, as Phallax was already manipulating random people to fight for him. With Emotion Manipulation, Chuck Dunham convinced his most loyal followers and attendees to subdue the Goat Demon, and give him more allegiance.

Phallax was seemingly killed when he was overwhelmed by Unfriendly Ops/Area Managers with a Terminate Ugly Damon-Man Notice follow-up. Dancing Warehouse Trolls, and other people dancing like Kurdur Rainer appeared to taunt the goat demon. A fed up Phallax escaped the fight and disappeared into fire, cursing Dunham.

## Relationship With Others

Despite Dunham having sermons that lightly mention Damon Bradley, the Rage Knights, Diseased, warehouse bullies, and various antagonistic unfriendly people across Queens Mane Virginia, and even the world at large, he doesn't seem to hold a negative opinion over any of them. In his sermons, they seem to actually play at his role of helping each of these entities in some shape or form including being a summon, or merging with them. Namely Dunham often merges with the likes of Professor Butch and Graphic Design Teacher, a common relationship.

Due to merging with Professors, he views them as valuable allies, and loves how he sounds like Professor Butch himself whenever speaking. He even places his hands in his back pockets as he speaks in a manner heavily similar to how Butch himself talks.

## Powers and Abilities

* **Common Bully Tactician**
* **Emotion Manipulation:** A power seen in Chuck Dunham, where he is able to influence others with his masterful public motivational speaking skills, and lead others to following All-Seer and his teachings. While this isn't necessarily an "evil" power of his, some versions of this character can manipulate the emotions of others and bring them to feeling joy, sadness, fear, and forms of aggression.

* **Escape Artist:** Chuck Dunham can escape death. If he is killed, he can somehow return at a later point on a Tuesday or sometimes Sundays where he performs new Sermons, Hip Hop concerts, and summoning beautiful men and women to sing Gospel Songs.

* **Fire Manipulation**

* **Master Goat Communication:** Dunham can speak fluently to goats. He doesn't seem to understand dogs much, and can speak Pig Latin and Agmantillan to a degree. During his sermons he squeals in a rough, gargled manner but this is just for comedy, and to get his guests and volunteers to keep up with him during his speeches. It is unclear if he uses this ability to speak with Phallax, a demonic goat-like entity obsessed with being friends with Damon Bradley, or if this is Phallax's Telepathic prowess being used on Dunham in order for the pastor to understand him.

	+ **Hand-to-Hand fighter**
* **Perception Magic User**
* **Skilled Shapeshifter**
* **Superhuman Durability**
