Chris Myrthil

Chris prepares to face off against Shi.

**Chris Myrthil** is a Cosmos Academy student and Junior Ranger in training.

Chris Myrthil is voiced by Chase Beck.

### Personality

Chris Myrthil loves gaming more than anyone else in the class. In fact, gaming has helped Chris with his training at Cosmos Academy, so much so that he was nominated team captain for a training exercise, though he quickly proved ill-suited for the task due to his poor social skills and immature attitude. Even in scenarios outside of school, Chris is always applying his skills as a gamer to real life situations, including training exercises. If not for Ranger training, Chris would be a shut in playing video games for hours on end. Thankfully, Jeff and Sebastian give him a social life.

## Attributes

### Abilities

* **Athletic Proficiency**: Due to extensive training and conditioning, Chris possesses advanced physical attributes and athletic capabilities. Taking advantage of the presence of small structures in a simulated battleground, he and Alex Stepanov would climb and then leap off one of these structures in an attempt to flank Arthur Stepanov, landing safely while being unable to bring him down with weapons fire.
* **Combat Aptitude**: As a cadet at Cosmos Academy, Chris is skilled in both armed and unarmed combat. He would notably briefly square off against Kayleen Huo, the two jumping and evading each other's attempts to strike the other. Their standoff appeared to be broken when Sebastian Rojas and Jeff Williams reinforced him while aiming weapons at Kayleen, forcing her to surrender until Itsuki shot and stunned all three of them from cover.
* **Marksmanship Aptitude**: Being prepared for security and military threats, Chris is trained in the use of ranged weapons, particularly pistols such as the Interstellar Force’s standard issue handles.
* **Strategic Aptitude**: Inspired by a video game, Chris proposed the idea of splitting up his team in an attempt to flank their opposition during a training exercise. He would then implement this plan against an aggressive Arthur while accompanied by Alex, only failing due to their efforts being uncoordinated and Chris loudly calling out their attack, immediately alerting Arthur to it.
* **Survival Aptitude**: In preparation for missions across space and on various planets, Chris is trained in operating in and adapting to a variety of environments and conditions.
* **Stealth Aptitude**: Alongside Alex, Chris managed to escape the middle of a firefight between two teams before climbing and leaping off a nearby structure in an attempt to bring down Arthur, who had started the fight by charging out from cover.

### Weaknesses

* **Immaturity**: Unfortunately for Chris, his tendency towards isolation and constant attempts to compare or apply his games to actual situations has left him severely immature and socially stunted. He was notably so upset when seeing Sebastian with pictures of his night out with Hope Griffin, Jazz Owens, Maria Long and Amai Higashi that he almost completely forgot the two were actively in the middle of class with Professor Strong with him notably being so distracted with overly explaining a proposed battle plan he learned from a video game, even spelling out the game's title, and arrogantly bickering with his friends over his rank as team captain during a training exercise that Hope had to take charge, proving herself to be a far more competent leader in the process. When a skirmish caused disarray on both teams, Chris briefly attempting to enact his proposed strategy of splitting off from the team to flank an attacking Arthur, with the help of his brother, Alex, only to impetuously announce their attack as the two leaped down from a structure towards Arthur, giving him the chance to avoid being shot down by them.
