Profile
Right-hand-man to the leader of a gang of graverobbers, Chase lives an undercover life out in the open. He has his paws comfortably full of scheduling, scouting, and overseeing all sorts of illicit activities and covert meetings with everyone from the gang's own part-timers to businessman buyers. The boss might as well be his father, and the gruff old bobcat trusts Chase's judgement.
The shifter's society has been pushed through a rapid colonial shift and is straining the edges of its social expectations, driving industries to require resources that no longer or never have existed in the quantities they need to stay afloat. One single, deeply-ingrained, unspoken rule has remained the same, though: never show weakness or the world will eat you up. Nobody wants to admit they're struggling.
In the midst of capitalist revolution, there's a severe shortage of avatar totems - special items that allow shifters to assume animal form - but everyone wants one; needs one, even, as a rite of passage to adulthood. Turns out they can be recycled just as well as made new, and a vital black market for totems belonging to the recently dead is thriving beneath the noses of the city. Chase's gang is one of many branches of the deep roots of this web, digging up graves and stealing totems (among other valuables) to sell back into supply. They employ anyone desperate enough to do the work and keep a secret, though there are plenty that hang around as a part of a tighter-knit family, clinging to each other in a bleak concrete future.
Chase is hardened and pessimistic, but primarily because he's disillusioned with society rather than being a crabby person. He's soft on the inside and cares a lot about his gang family even though he tries not to show it. It pains him to see anyone hurting, and it's hard when everything sucks.

Chase is crabby, angrily depressed, and unintentionally edgy. He's got an unwavering glare that's fairly intimidating and rarely has anything nice to say. He has that fabled effortlessly-cool air about him and doesn't realize it - which means it's all the funnier when he's caught off guard or stumbles over himself.
