- Chase Orrsen

Chase Orrsen is an original vampire, specifically the Original Malum Vampire, last king of Quintia Clan, as well as the vampire who ended up killing the originals.

### biography

Chase is the biological son and first born of Astrid and Orr, a Celtic Queen and a Viking Chief whom were married so Orr could move his clan onto Astrid's land. He was born in the kingdom of Norway and lived their until he was 2 years old due to arguments about moving the clans took longer than his father had anticipated. he is also the older brother to Conrad Orrsen, Uncle to Rose Conradittri and Hawthorn Conradsen, as well as the former Guardian of Ashe Riveraux

### early life

chase liked playing in the ocean even in the winter, which is why his mother suggested he was so immune to cold weather because the first 2 years of his life he spent in ice water and snow. he didn't really build any relationship with his father until he was 5 and his father begun training him. before that, his mother and grandmother were his main carers until they left for England, in which Astrid became his sole carer.

when he was 5 years old, his father took more of an interest in him, unaware at the time, but it was because he had bound chase into the Bargain of the champions and wanted to make sure he was a tough successor and needed some blood for the bargain to take.

because of this, chase was exhausted as a child often, desperate for a time to meet his fathers expectations. chase often recounts his father locking him in a collapsing cave telling him to use his instincts, wit and strength to escape as it was the most traumatizing part of chases childhood and gave him an unbearable claustrophobia that he still suffers with.

chase had his brother with him for most of his training and enjoyed having a comfort, but tried his best to make Conrad feel better because he felt a sense of defending his younger brother as best as he could. he also got to know the other clan leaders children, forming lasting relationships and friends.

when chase was 17, his father announced he was to accompany him on a raid across the ocean, the idea did scare him but due to the arrogance he acquired from his fathers training he thought he would be ok. the raid went so well chase was told the next year him and conrad were to gon on a raid this time.

the raid was difficult as it turns out the beach they had docked at was overrun with other warriors and fought back. chase was talented in combat at this time so found it easy enough to keep him and conrad safe, but his emotions got the better of him and he ended up getting stabbed twice, leaving an X shapped cut through his stomach. he didnt remember a lot of the boat ride home, but he did remember being told later hed gotten an infection and had a terrible fever, causing him to hallucinate.

he was nursed by his mother who was furious with Orr for inspiring such violence in her son, going as far as to threaten him in front of chase, who still cant figure out if it was a fever dream or not. chase actually went into septic shock, and though he only remembers feeling worse than he ever has in his life, he wasn't lucid for a lot of it.

thankfully, chase survived the sepsis and begun to recover, but he had many post septic symptoms such as weakness, dizziness and difficulty concentrating but he really wanted to get out of the tiny room feeling claustrophobic as well as his father insisting his training continues.

### physical appearance

chase is described as having 'canary yellow hair' as a child which chained to an ash/white blonde as he grew up, whilst keeping loose messy curls. his skin is an ivory colour and clear with only 2 scars on his left shoulder right and hip respectively. he also has upturned eyes, naturally a grey-blue speckles with browns, currently a turquoise colour. a refined nose, bow-shaped sharp lips. he's 6'4 and has a muscular build whist remaining slightly lithe. like all vampires, he has elevated canines as well as incisors being longer and sharper than mortals. as well as this, chase has a tattoo on his left forearm, depicting a few trees with what looks like a wolf in silhouette form, possibly reference to his own home and his mothers declaration that 'he is the wolf of the land' before passing.

interests hobbies, and skills

chase has an affinity for writing starting as a young child. he used to write stories of wildlife and to explain things to himself, this progressed into a way for him to share his thoughts in letters and essays explaining to the clan what he was after turning. he used this skill in the way to document everything and express his thoughts as to make sure when the won Soleste would have to answer to every crime she ever committed. it is also suggested he did the same thing with himself, writing stories and poems of all the people he killed before he learnt to compartmentalise and stopped reminding himself. in Morden day, he writes 3rd person accounts of things he sees to give him something to do and not feel to emotionally attached to his life.

chase also likes dance, saying that when he was a child it was the only true movements that didn't inspire violence. he holds fond memories dancing with his mother, who taught him dance. in modern day he doesn't dance aside a few occasions such as the ball he went to with Cyra and a few nights out.

he also enjoys combat, with or without weapons he enjoys sparring and learning new combat skills

chase also loves the ocean, due to growing up in a costal village.

### personality

Chase is shown to be very **Aloof**, he is cold and distant in most circumstances with strangers, or when he feels vulnerable

Chase is shown to be **impulsive**, for good or for bad he acts on impulse and this can be worsened by emotions, it does serve him well for thinking on his feet, but he does often say what comes to his mind, or lose rational in anger. in dangerous situations, thanks to his intelligence he typically allows his impulse to be good choice but he often well chose an option that brings him pleasure before an intelligent choice if he has to chose.

chase is also **open-minded,** enabling a situation to be explained to him and for him to build an opinion from what he sees rather than what might be the norm, such as his equality views despite being born in a time such things were unheard of, because he witnessed his mothers strength an intelligence . however, despite this, he still may act irrationally if his mental health is not in a good place and he cant be reasoned with. he also does chose his own opinion and might not choose to share what he's feeling.

he is also **anxious** . suffering from fears and panic attacks from a young age, possibly deranged from his fathers treatment of him. because of his aloof side, he might not choose to react at all his feelings and it can be difficult to tell what he is thinking until he is under extreme pressure, in which he can easily slip into disassociation, or panic attacks. he does have tells, such as running his figure's through his hair, noticed by Cyra Fauline as a self soothing and tell for when he feels anxious. during a panic attack, he looses all rational thinking and because of his impulsive behaviour might do something he would later regret, such as telling Cyra about his personal problems whilst trapped in an elevator and having a panic attack because of his claustrophobia.

aside from this chase is also described as being **Arrogant.** this most likely stemmed from his fathers intense training, leading him to believe he must be good at that point especially if his father payed him that much attention, probably increased by being an original and things he's done. he rarely feel or shows any form of fear, acting in ways others cant understand because he believes he has nothing to fear anymore. it is possible his ego and arrogance were boosted when he escaped the originals because it left him as the apex predator. because of his arrogance, chase is an incredibly sore loser, he doesn't take any defeat well, for instance, when driven out of town by Kane Hawley he is vengeful and angry that he was beaten, proving he has an over inflated ego and is very arrogant.
