Chas Loren
CELL MANIPULATION
TWENTY-FIVE || BISEXUAL || AMERICA || #E36F19
XXXXChas can manipulate the functions of living cells and living cells only. He canāt control their location or move them around with his mind, but he can control what the cells are doing. His ability requires complete concentration and a vast knowledge of the types of cells of the human body. Chas spent years studying to be a doctor, so he is able to manipulate the human anatomy much easier than any animalsā. Chas needs to think about what cells he wants to manipulate, where they are, and what he wants them to do. His abilities are not something that can be done subconsciously.
Now, what can Chas do exactly? What constitutes the manipulation of living cells? Well, he can completely control the varied functions of the different types of cells. If someone is injured, he can speed up the healing process by forcing the cells to function considerably harder or faster while consuming less nutrients. He can also do the exact opposite. He can slow the functions of cells, allowing parts of the body to shut to down and die from the inside out. One of his favorite things to do is sit someone down and stop their skin from processing moisture. Slowly, over time, their skin will dry out and begin to peel off. After having his powers for a few years and an innate sadistic nature, Chas has learned many ways to ruin the human body.
There are still many things left for Chas to learn. He continues his studies to understand the human anatomy further and get better at using his powers. However, no matter the amount of time he puts into learning of his powers, nothing will change the fact that Chasā powers require a lot of energy. He has learned to slow down the energy consumption of his abilities, but that doesnāt stop him from needing five big meals a day just to break even on calorie count. His captors knew of this and offered him calorie packed bars. He basically lives off of those. If he runs out, he really needs to keep a handle on using his powers or heāll collapse from malnutrition.

āYou donāt like me? Aww, thatās unfortunate. I donāt like you? Hah! Goodbye.ā
Chas isnāt a quiet, reserved man. Some would even call him charismatic. He has an award winning smile, and he knows how to talk to people. But to Chas, almost all relationships are for the sole purpose of helping himself. The number of people he truly cares about could be counted on one hand. He understands the fragility of the human body and mind, so he trusts no one. If you never rely on anyone, youāre never let down once they fail. And as far as Chas believes, everybody always fails. Well, everybody but himself. As far as Chas is concerned, he is the perfect example of a human being. Heās full of himself, and this has given him an immense sense of pride and confidence. However, heās not overly confident in the sense that heāll put himself in situations he knows he cannot win.
Of all of his features, Chas possesses immense intelligence on many fronts. Not only is he book smart, having studied the sciences, psychology, and history for years, but heās also street smart. Heās well aware of social cues and the ways that humans act according to certain emotions. With that said and with the knowledge he has gained, he knows how to break people as well, physically and emotionally. If you treat him with respect, Chas will respect you. But if you dare disrespect him, Chas will hold no mercy for you. He does not bother stopping himself from ridding the world of people who donāt treat him as they should.
Chas understands the evil of the world, and as a result, heās developed soft spots for certain individuals. Those who are considered innocent to most would be in that group, such as animals and children. Adults are innately filled with hatred, but children have potential and donāt have the knowledge to do wrong on purpose. Chas is known to use torture and stealing to get what he wants, but there are still crimes that he refuses to allow. He does have some morality. Any form of sexual assault or anyone who attempts it is less than dirt in his eyes. He feels nothing when killing a rapist. Animal abusers, poachers, and wifebeaters are the same to him. All not worthy of life. To them, he is willing to be judge, jury, and executioner.

āMom and Pop did their best. I think I turned out alright.ā
Chasā parents were both wealthy, healthy people: his mother a famous brain surgeon and his father a well-known oncologist. For them, money was never an issue. They had Chas well into their lives, and they planned on having one and only one child. Chas grew up being catered to, being sent to cushy private schools and bought all of the most recent, expensive toys. Often times, Chas grew bored of having everything, but he never stepped out. Even at a young age, he knew everything could be taken away in an instant.
For years, he excelled. Chas had a powerful and quick-witted mind. He was always at the top of his class and graduated from high school as Valedictorian. He received a full ride to a famous medical school; not like it mattered anyways. His parents could have afforded to buy him in. Chas went to the college for six years. He decided to focus his studies on neurology and become a surgeon like his mother. But his boredom with life grew. It was around this time that his powers materialized.
Like a blessing from God, Chas was given the ability to control bodily functions through the cells. This gave him a whole new career path that he hadnāt even considered. He disappeared from school one day and was never seen on campus again. Chas had travelled to New York and set out to start his own gang. It was a lot easier than he thought it would be. All he had to do was make a flashy entrance. He walked into a state bank without a single weapon and walked out with over a million dollars.
Merely days later, other people, people with abilities, came to him, offering their help. After a year, Chas has connections throughout the entire state of New York. Politicians bent to his will, the police were too terrified to go after him, and his army kept growing and growing. He lived lavishly in a penthouse. He had a girlfriend and all the money in the world. The power went to his head. He started getting sloppy. Shortly after his 25th birthday celebration, Chas was captured by Savior. She ambushed him while he was sleeping and knocked him out before he could use his abilities. The next time Chas woke up, he was in the Birdcage, surrounded by machines that he couldnāt control.
