General Appearance:
Chester’s fiery red hair is what pulls you first. And then his bright blue eyes that turn almost green under the right lighting. And if that doesn’t get you, that perennial smirk on his full lips will definitely be the clincher.
At first glance, the pale redhead is far from what is deemed conventionally handsome. With freckles smattering his face haphazardly and barely there eyebrows, Chester’s attraction definitely does not come from his looks.
He compensates by dressing accordingly. Everything fits properly and it is only on occasion that he dresses down with a comfortable hoodie, a printed tee and washed out jeans.
His usual style of dressing would be button down shirts, sleeves rolled up to his elbow, vests and jeans. Casual form fitting clothes that show off the body he slaves over.
A staple to his outfits would be the leather necklace given to him by his grandfather before he passed. And his grey beanie sometimes makes a repeated appearance.
Personality:
As his nickname suggests, Chester lacks conventionally appropriate scruples for a teenager. That part of him developed over time, though. He wasn’t always this way. Of course, the appeal of bad boys is in that they used to be a good person.
Funnily enough, growing up as a blue blood, Chester had been forced at a really young age to be proper. And after years of etiquette training; opening doors, standing up when women are leaving the room, pulling out chairs, the works, Chester turned out to be a disciplined young man.
He is respectful to his elders, affectionate to his siblings and humble towards his staff. It is only in front of people outside of his immediate family that he has trouble caring about. After getting a taste of what girls [and boys] were like, Chester’s attitude did a one eighty and his lack of respect for girls as a whole just declined.
Sharp tongued and brutally honest, Chester does not sugarcoat or beat around the bush whenever he speaks. He doesn’t care at all about what other people think about him, which is why he feels it is easy for him to assume the same about other people. He is well aware that what he says could potentially hurt but he doesn’t feel like there’s actually a need for him to stop.
That said, one would actually expect Chester to be a huge troublemaker but the redhead doesn’t believe in pulling attention to himself at all times unless it is for something that benefits him greatly. However, if given the right push, Chester would more likely be the behind the scenes mastermind than the perpetrator.Your Vices

After two sets of twins, Patricia and Leonard thought that their baby making days were over but in came the unexpected but most certainly not unwelcome addition to the family in the form of a single baby boy on a bright sunny day of May. Weighing in a healthy seven pounds five ounces, Chester graced the world with his heavy set of pipes. The first week was torture for their parents, having to deal with their very first colicky baby but they championed through, but not without help from their lovely sets of twins. And after that initial week, Chester proved to be an angel.
He grew up relatively normal, not wanting for anything, without much temper tantrums, always happy to welcome visitors. He did as he was told, went to all the lessons his parents thrust upon him, went to the traditional Douglas boarding school even though he swore he would never leave his mother’s side. He was, in all essence, the perfect little gentleman.
But youth caught up with him, and fast. He succumbed to peer pressure quite early in life and in a snap of a finger, people who really noticed him would have seen the duality in his personality. Though he did a very good job at keeping them separate.
The day his powers manifested was the day he realised exactly how paranoid he actually was. He was only thirteen at the time and the sudden bout of thoughts rushing through his head from every single direction almost made him lose it. When a recruiter came over to his home, Chester had some peace finally but it didn’t last long because he was suddenly thrust into a world where metahumans was an actual word. Everything he knew about abnormalities and gene defects came from X-Men and apparently he was now Professor X.
Chester was actually quite hesitant in leaving his family but everyone was rather supportive and promised to write. Knowing them, he knew that was possible. With a heavy heart, he went to the institution, an eight hour flight away from home.
He found he didn’t have to worry about fitting in because everybody was exactly the same. They were all scared, they were all different and they were all there to learn control. Of course, because of the similarities, Chester easily went back to his old ways. He changed partners more frequent than the moon phases and he lazed in class when he should be paying attention.
One obstacle was definitely his powers. While he felt rather accomplished, knowing what people thought about him, it brought with him self-doubt and paranoia that he didn’t quite like. More often than not, the past few years he had been in Hammel was spent with his powers shut off. This does not stop him from his caddish ways. However, despite that, he does have one constant in his life that he is rather possessive of. But Cameron shouldn’t know he has a strong-hold on Chester.
He is currently still in training to fully control his powers.Roleplay Example
