These are some hooks that may interest you in playing with Chance...

Man's Best Friend

... mumble something about the Confidant birthright here

Mundane

• Political: Chance is political, by almost all definitions of the term. His exact politics are harder to pin down, but he cares about the cause, whatever it happens to be. He gives money, he attends rallies, he makes signs, defaces websites -- I mean, uhh, does social networking... In particular:
  • People of Color civil rights; he grew up in a well off home, but even he's been pulled over for driving while black. It just happens. Its not right. Neither is a generation of black youth ending up in private, for-profit prisons in a failed policy whose only result is profits for those prisons and drug cartels.
  • LGBTQI rights. He's gay, came out early, had a hard time of it. Attends marriage equality rallies often, has been known to take weekend trips across the country to do so.
  • Feminism is the recognition that all people deserve equal rights, but that a staggering half the population has a hard time of it. That's insane.
  • Immigration needs reforms, the utterly horrid system in place is ripping apart families -- including families of citizens, putting citizen children in foster care and the child welfare system instead of keeping their tax-paying, economy-supporting parents around to take care of them. How is this sane?
  • Islamaphobia has been a hot button issue with him for awhile now. Really, its any "-phobia", but this one has been a stark point given the current climate.
  • Athiest rights, at the same time, he's totally against the 10 commandments or any religious involvement in civil governance.
  • Privacy is a vital right that is poorly protected, and Big Brother is greedily gulping up more and more and must be stopped. Especially in the digital age and our looming surveillance state.
  • Anti-War is pretty self-explanatory
  • ... really, name a cause. He's political.
  • That doesn't mean he's only into talking to people who are like minded. Discussions change minds, shape the world, and are a moral imperative
• Hacktivist: This isn't well known, obviously, since it involves crimes. Needless to say, there are VPN's and onion networks between him and @double4s
• Hacker, in the MIT definition of the work-- one who tweaks and builds. @chancegreen94 is known among some in certain computer security circles as a private contractor who has made some bug bounties and is involved in a wide variety of communities.
  • Lock picking is a thing that happens among this community as a hobby, a sort of practical extension of security in the physical realm. I'm not saying Chance can pick a lock, no, not at all, but he's concerned with all things security.
• Sports: He's a Patriots fan, and likes playing football for fun with the folk out at the parks
• Art: He likes art, and has things to say about art, and absolutely no artistic ability.
• Animals: He likes animals, but in particular he's a dog lover, and dogs love him.
• iPhone: Apple iFan who owns iEverything
• Food: An amateur foodie

Supernatural

• Commoner: Obviously. But, he's also something of a rebel! A revolutionary! Even if there isn't much of a revolution going on, he thinks there should be. Tired of the Oppression of the Shiny Doll People? Tired of being stepped on because mirrors don't crack when exposed to your angelic visage? Tired of them strutting around as if their shit smelt of roses? Chance is on board!
• Unseelie: The Court of Winter has been suppressed, treated like second class citizens, not given its rightful due -- the due the Dreaming demand it be given. The Dream is change, yet the Seelie in their righteous indignation and stagnation strangle Concordia by thinking there's never a place that Summer's hand is not best at the helm. Fuck that!
• Weirdness: He has a severe thread of curiosity that makes him sniff around (often, literally) anything strange or unusual.
• Speaks to Animals: Especially dogs. Do you have a puppy? Chance can translate.
