Cha'ahd Simmons's Links
Cha'ahd has known Tabi for a long time, seeing the little lizard as a little brother. He is extremely protective of Tabi, and is prepared to drop everything and fly out to help the little guy with whatever they need. Which is not much, in terms of their job, as Cha'ad mentally does not have the resources for it.
He appreciates Tabi's continual friendship and brotherhood, and cherishes the fact that the lil man doesn't judge his appearance, and infact indulges him in what each part does. He sends Tabi clothes every once in a while, that are a little too big for them, just because he knows not how else to express the familial love he has for Tabs.
I see him as a brother , honestly . A lot of people don ' t like the way he is now , but I think they ' re just thinking about the overall of it . I ' ve known him since before he got into mechs , and I don ' t think that has changed the core of his character much , if at all ! I especially love to chat with him over the types of new mechs that he has gotten , it ' s SO interesting and I love to just go off for hours with him about it .
Thats the weed chef man in Cha'ahds eyes. What a mystical creature of nature. Cha'ahd finds it interesting how Victor appreciates and understand nature, something that Cha'ahd never really had an opportunity to explore. Maybe one day he'll go on one of those hikes or nature walks with Victor, whatever they're called.
Victor views Cha’ahd as a really good friend he doesn’t quite understand. While Victor is all about nature, Cha’ahd loves the more artificial side of Alphean life. However, that doesn’t stop them from good naturedly ribbing each other and indulging in Victor’s edibles and weed whenever they meet up.
Cha'ahd looks up to Aeo in almost a manic manner. Aeo, being the only "doctor" to fulfill his wishes for mechanics and match Cha'ahds rabid attitude.
Cha'ahd doesn't feel uncomfortable with the CEO, almost having a sense of sameness with them both being seen as terrifying in the eyes of the public. The fact that Aeo made Cha'ahd's vision of himself into a reality is something he greatly appreciates, and because of that, Cha'ahd will go along with whatever Aeo wants, to sometimes risky limits.
Cha'ahd sports his modifications done by Aeo proudly, and adores the protectiveness Aeo has over him, and enjoys teasing and prodding at the CEO just to see the emotions bubble out of them, and wherever that leads.
Aeo is the mysterious biomechanic that enabled the bodybuilders fantasies in chrome. They relationship tries to stay professional, the CEO sometimes falls for the bait of insults and things happen. Esperos has found themselves overprotective over their little experiment and will actively seek harm on people that get in the way of it. Cha´ahd is one of Esperos´ only bonds that was formed outside their work as lead on LB
Cha'ahd sees a fellow metal-head who works out? Immediate competition in his eyes. But turns out when they're both stoned, she's pretty chill to hang out with. Dani taking an interest in his mechs in a huge bonus as well, his prized possessions, which has gotten him comfortable enough to open up to her about aspects of his past and overall struggles. What happens in the stone sesh stays in the stone sesh.
The friendly rivalry they both have is certainly noticeable, meeting once thanks to vic and the nexts times due to the gym. As a matter of fact, from time to time they have lifting competitions and in general, their relationship is more of a gym bro one. Dani sees him as an interesting subject of study too!! His mechanics interest em deeply and wishes to being able to get closer to them, askin often questions. Sometimes they get to drink together, ending up both drunk and bonding over their failed relationships with their parents.
Cha'ahd sees Lo as that one supportive older sibling. He appreciates that in tough times and rough states Lo was the one to support him, but he does feel bad as he cannot to the same for Lo, both for the fact that Lo does not need any help in terms of housing, and he is not emotionally intelligent enough to help with any personal problems. Hopefully the credits and clothes he sends sometimes help.
Lo'enn is.. particular about Cha'ahd. Having seen the alphean at rock-bottom, their care increased in giving him even the smallest sort of stability as Cha'ahd gained more and more mechanics. They even had let him stay at their house for a while as the other was living rather... frugally, to put it lightly. Lo ended up spending many hours not only helping him through cyberpsychosis, but with teaching him basic writing skills- just so that he wouldn't be completely lost. Now that Cha'ahd has reached fame and fortune, the small amounts of credits sent to the croc occasionally reminds them of those days. At least he has grown...
Cha'ahd appreciates Rotui immensely. Being a scary alphean to look at, Rotui's indifference to his appearance gives him a lot of comfort.
He enjoys indulging Rotui in whatever the shark would like to, not shying away from weirder requests, just due to the fact that Rotui isn't aversed to any unique quirk Cha'ahd has fills Cha'ahd with gratitude. He considers Rotui an SS-tier homie, despite not meeting often.
While their meetings are few and sporadic, Rotui HIGHLY values the downtime Cha'ahd offers. Being able to let loose and just- stop thinking. Not even a scary face could deter him from the comfort an outsider provides him. There's a pact between them about no questions asked, no questions answered. Just two homies enjoying very very specific benefits.
When it comes to his public face, Cha´ahd is Vaks right hand man and the light of the party. It is easy for the prince to simply lay back and let the bodybuilder takes the spotlight. He is not a guy to ask too many questions, and when he does to easily get mislead, the prince takes advantage of that since he likes to keep his personal life separated from his work. Though this does not mean he doesn't indulge on the bodybuilders physique every once in a while. Sometimes bars sometimes bars simply get boring.
Cha'ahd finds the speedy dino amusing, always one to brag, he likes when they hang out at athletic conventions because Heigo compliments him. As such, Cha'ahd even tries to come to a couple of Heigo's track meets and sees him in the gyms when he visits! You will catch them talking abut gym routines and diets.
Okay so Heigo thinks that Cha'ahd is HELLA cool, and immediately delves into more bro-like speak when he is around. He loves talking and rambling to him about different types of extreme sports.
Cha'ahd despises Hastu's online persona, Stellaris. Blinded by his jealousy for Stellaris' impossible physique, Cha'ahd spends hours attempting to debunk it, and somehow convince himself that it's not real, just to save another meltdown of not being satisfied with himself, and his abilities.
On the other hand, he finds Hastu hilarious, and just a funky little lawyer, not knowing at all her connection to Stellaris.
Cha’ahd annoys Hatsu greatly, he constantly shows up, even after being banned, at her twitch streams and tries to gain entries into concerts under the conspiracy that Stellaris is a real person and is doping?
Cha'ahd knows not of Lycurgus's main job at the museum, but rather . . . his other side job. Cha'ahd thinks he's hot as fuck, and likes to pull at his strings, just to see where the behavior will lead him.
His activities with Lycurgus help to release immense stress, and make him comfortable with not being in control all the time.
Cha'ahd only knows him through his ... controversial side job, though the machine man doesn't know his face or true idenitity, he is a returning client and therefore Lycurgus respects him in a professional sense. Though, he is a bit off put by all the machinery sometimes..
Cha'ahd thinks the little guy is so misled. Why would you idealize someone who's so fake? Who fakes their glamour and physique? Just because of some charming words and a parasocial relationship? Maybe shocking him into realizing that will do em better.
Tatani can't stand Cha'ahd and his rude accusations towards Stellaris!! I mean seriously!! Who does this guy think he is??? Its a shame too because they would probably have a relatively normal relationship if it wasn't for this. But unfortunatley their two braincells seem to clash. Tatani would love to knock some sense into Cha'ahd!! He totally could!! I mean he doesn't even seem that tough!!
Cha'ahd's grown to like Nessie, the way she is able to lay down the rules but keep a good vibe is something he deeply respects. And hey its not everywhere a huge mech man can be himself and not be kicked out of a bar. Sure he may cause some property damage, but he makes up for it by doing the dirty work of kicking patrons out (or throwing them) when they get too rowdy.
Nessie says the word and Cha'ahd will do it.
While she may have been weary of the big guy at first, Nessie very quickly came to adore Cha'ahd's vibe. While it may be a bit extra to some, she thinks it's lovely, and just what her club needs sometimes. He's become someone she cares deeply for, and to show her appreciation for removing creeps from her premises, brings him free food. He even has his own table that he can chew on!!
Cha'ahd loves showing off, he has strange teeth, Milli is a dentist, does more need to be said? Cha'ahd loves the attention he gets from Dr Moromi, she makes him feel special.
