Chase admires Holly for her bravery and skill at combat. Holly has probably saved his life at some point, and keeps Wesley from ripping off Chase when bartering. :3c
Profile
Before the Outbreak, Chase was a timid, awkward nerd who struggled to socialize with others and preferred to stay chronically online. As a gangly, physically weak teen, he has survived thus far only due to the help of the others at the Academy. After a safe zone was established, Chase spent most of his time taking apart school electronics with the eventual goal of piecing together a working long distance communication device. His surprising talents as electronical engineer have somewhat redeemed him in the eyes of his peers despite his lack of physical ability.
He is accompanied by a small common anole named Trappy which he secretly kept as a pet of sorts in the dorms. Trappy enjoys basking atop Chase's head and shoulders.
Since meeting Chase, Wesley always keeps a look out for small electronic devices to bring back for trade. Wesley knows that Chase is unable to go out and scavenge for these things himself, and always attempts to rip off Chase in an unfairly skewed barter. Despite this, the two have a sort of friendship built on the mutual interest of creating gadgetry.
