Chance Under Starlight

"Get out of the way you... extremely tall person!" - Professor Periwinkle (Science of Murder)

 

 

Chance Under Starlight is the preferred name of an unconventional and erratic - some would say insane - mathematician of an uncertain nature, a fusion of his adopted name - Chance Hayford - and the phrase "Runs Under Starlight", the phrase uttered by the dying woman holding him as a baby to his future adopted parents. Talented in the field of probability manipulation since birth, his talent ran wild and uncontrolled in his younger life, seeing him survive various disasters that took the lives of his fiancee, his adopted family, and anyone else he allowed to get close to him until he fled into Frontier in a self-inflicted exile. After several years spent isolated, he was found by the Chaos Shaman called McCoy, and became a member of the Brotherhood of the End Times, a group of outsiders and troubled souls that walked a line between followers of an entropic philosophy and a doomsday cult. When McCoy was broken into the nameless Stranger and the cult broke up, Chance was left struggling to control his probability-altering nature, wondering what place he might have, if any, in the world.

 

Chance attempted to gain control over his nature, and gained quite a bit of success in this, but in doing his origin gradually came to light, brining with it dangers that would overshadow him for several years.  Chance discovered he was one of three sons of the renegade Magi Khaldun Al-Fulani and a supposedly dead mother whose of a mysterious nature. The three brothers were cast out into Frontier by their mother to protect them from their mad father. But while the other brothers were safely adopted by a Frontier Tribe, it seems that the child who would become Chance was selected by his mother as the one who would stand up against his father. Chance found himself on a very strange path defined by several titles that defined his role in life. He became Chosen to stop his father's dangerous obssession, Seeker of the path, Pilgrim on the path to the legendary City of Brass, where he was finally rewarded with the truth - his mother was one of the Three Fates, making Chance the Descendant of Fate, and the power his father craved was that to re-write fate and destiny itself, so recklessly that he could bring reality crashing down in his madness. It was in the City where father and son clashed for the final time, a battle that ended when Chance threw Al-Fulani into the The Raw Spirit Realm to be consumed.

 

Chance can most commonly be found at the Institute of Curiosities where he teaches mathematics, in Port of Saints at the Society of New Science or on the island chain of Zamboanga where he has begun a relationship with Natalia van Kesseler. With his father defeated, Chance can now look forward to forging a future free from his mad parent's shadow, though he may not yet have finalised his family's business. The Fates have warned him that, though Al-Fulani is gone, his ally, the Corrupted Fire entity spreading through the Dreaming, is still at large, and Chance's mother remains its captive.

 

Died fighting a White Hand Necromancer and group of Thules as they attempted to open a breach into the Netherworld.
