Chase Banks

He built a life for himself, giving himself a bright future.
Yet the past left permanent marks.

When Chase was younger, his house had caught on fire. In the midst of the chaos, he found his brother and carried him safely outside, his face burned by the flames and leaving a scar. Their parents, however, did not meet the same fate.
Chase tried to take care of his brother, but his sibling had always been distant with him. Even before they lost their parents had his brother acted oddly around him. Finally, it grew to be too much for either of them, and they argued with each other. It was a screaming match filled with bottled up feelings and sayings they both regret.
His brother ran away the next day, and though Chase searched and searched, he never found him. All he got was a phone call from his brother saying that he was doing better without him or even their parents, and hung up before Chase could reply.
With nothing left, Chase looked to the future. He studied to become someone that could help others and could better convey feelings, rather than tear them apart like what happened between him and his brother. He became a therapist, aiming to help others, and he covered his face with a scarf to forever hide his scar.

Notes: It may be a lil noticeable, but Chase was originally meant to be a somewhat AU/human version of Lan! And ORIGINALLY originally, when I first made Lan before being on TH he wasn't an object head. I always envisioned him with a mask or a scarf, just something to hide the scar on his face. Then I got the object head design and fell in love with using that for Lan, and made a humanoid version for THAT. Chase wasn't meant to be made, but there was an RP I wanted to do and got this design for him. Now I just treat him as an AU Lan that got to live a life instead of be a deity; it's nice kinda exploring what he would've been like as one of us.
