known limits;; Chase can run fast enough to be nearly invisible to the naked eye. Of course he can be caught on camera if the film is slowed down enough but he can't keep up that kind of speed for long. The longest he has run on full burn was one minute. Once he reaches that minute, he literally will drop to the ground, not fainted but his entire body feels like jello. It takes him a bit of time to recover.
power history;;Chase was born with the ability to go super fast but it didn't manifest itself fully until he was walking. When he crawled, he could crawl faster than any toddler but his bones and muscles weren't strong enough to support his need to move. Walking, however, was a different matter. Though it involved many spills and face-to-wall contact, he was able to outrun his siblings and when he turned four, his father. Like most speedsters, Chase had a very hard time keeping a slow pace and in fact, it was almost as if he couldn't. His legs were always in overdrive as well as his insatiable need to see everything and see it quickly. He had to be homeschooled after a disastrous first day in kindergarten. Kids teased him quite a bit for being a "freak" or a "show off" but he never regretted being faster than everyone else. Now that he's 15 and in a place where it's actually normal, he finds that having freak abilities are awesome and that jealousy shouldn't have a place in the world.
;;_mirrors reveal real APPEARANCE
celeb claim;; Chase Crawford
height;; 6'1"
weight;; 172
eye color;; Blue
hair color;; Chestnut Brown
assets;; His best feature is probably his smile because it lights up his whole face.
flaw;; Knobby knees. His knees turn slightly inward and are unattractive as far as knees are concerned.
distinguishing mark;; Chase has a scar on his chin from tripping on the sidewalk and skidding across it since he was running so fast.Chase Sinclair is, to most people, a very good looking young man. People have been known to turn their gaze to him when he walks by but that certainly doesn't happen all the time. He is however, taller than a picture might suggest him to be. Standing at an impressive 6'1", people get to look up into his pretty blue eyes which are usually sparkling with some sort of mischievous thought. After all, he can be a bit of a prankster. With a face made up of soft, balanced features, nothing particularly extraordinary suggest that he has anything to offer than just good looks except for the most beautiful smile. It seems to illuminate his entire being as well as put people at ease.
Being open with such an honest demeanor, people generally respond favorably to him. His tussled brown hair make him seem like a person who isn't too worried about his appearance. To add to his out-of-bed style, he tends to wear T-Shirts he gets from Wal-Mart and cargo pants that look to have taken quite a beating. A lot of times Chase doesn't buy clothing until he has to. What seem to always be new though are his shoes. Due to the fact that he wears them out fast and so seeks to buy durable shoes but at affordable prices. Chase is surprisingly conscious of money.ENTERTAINER, LOVER, LOYAL

eccentricities;; Chase has an odd love of outdoors except that bugs freak him out. So he tends to avoid the deep woods for that reason. Another oddity of his is that when he's nervous he rakes his fingers through his hair. He also does that when he lies.
Entertainer: Chase is the life of the party. He is such an energetic, fun loving person with bright eyes and an infectious smile. If you're not careful, he may burst into a bad rendition of whatever popular song you hate. There is something to be said for Chase in that he is sort of a daredevil. In a game of truth or dare, he was once dared to run across campus completely nude except for his latest pair of tennis shoes. The dare wasn't exactly fair because he ran fast enough so that he was nothing but a flesh colored blur, but all the same, he did it. When he finds one of his friends who is having a bad day, he'll try for about five minutes to make them smile. After that, they're on their own because he kind of as ADD in that he'll have found someone else to occupy his time. It's not that he doesn't care, it's just that he never really stays in one place for long, or with one person for long.
Lover: If there is one thing Chase is, he's persistent when it comes to conquest. He is just one of those heartbreakers who leaves a trail of tears, only he's oblivious to it. Perhaps not quite oblivious but he likes the chase more than keeping his prize. Once he's gotten his kiss or night, or whatever he was after, the girl isn't exactly yesterday's news, but he is never looking for anything serious because Chase isn't the settle down type at this point in his life. He is a young buck looking for a good time. Chase loves the ladies, that is for sure. He has many, many friends, many loves, a few loses, and the odd enemy or two. On the whole he's a likable person with only the best of intentions that don't always pan out. If anything is said to a friend that hurts their feelings, he will drop whatever he's doing and make a quick apology. Yeah, he's that nice.
Loyal: There is no one more doggedly loyal than Chase Calvin Sinclair. He is the person you want on your side in a fight, a debate, in the race for the last candy bar, or anything else he can help you with. An instance has happened where he literally did offer someone the shirt off his back; the catch was she had to give him her shirt in return but that's not the point. The point was he was willing to lend her anything she needed, and more if she wanted. If he is around and someone is dogging on one of his friends behind that friend's back, he tends to defend their honor a bit more than is usually necessary. Fist fights have ensued, people got suspended, it was just a thing that happened that one time. Or maybe several times...But anyway. Though he is a bit of a womanizer, he'd never put a friendship in jeopardy in pursuit of selfish desires. Chase has been known to put what he was after on the shelf and help a friend out or stop a romance in order to save a friendship.
;;_we owe it all to HISTORY
father's name;; Hugh Sinclair
mother's name;; Catherine Sinclair
siblings name;; Jason, Kara, and Lynn
significant other;; Single, currently
children's name;; None
others;; He has a dog, Bailey, that he dearly loves but she's back with his parents in Tennessee.
Born the baby of four children to parents Hugh and Catherine, Chase has always been a bit of a handful. It wasn't that he was a bad child or even a particularly needy one, but he seemed to just be gone whenever his mother turned around. Keeping him entertained or even in the house was a big job because Chase hated, even from an early age, to be in one place or doing one thing for very long. His parents owned a rather large two story house in a subdivision in Nashville, Tennessee. Their house, though, was in the back of the subdivision against a backdrop of many wooded acres.
It was in those woods that Chase practiced running, playing with his older brother and sister, Lynn. His eldest sibling, Kara, could not be bothered in the slightest to play with the younger children. When Chase turned six, his dad brought home a Great Dane puppy that they named Bailey. From the first moment Chase laid eyes on his new gangly puppy, he was in love. Together they grew, racing about the woods and around the yard, faster and faster until one day Bailey couldn't keep up with Chase at all. It was on that day that Chase decided his speed was something more than just a skill. It had to be some sort of mutation.
Because he was too wiggly and unruly for school, his mother taught him and his sister Lynn at home. He learned best when his mother downloaded English lessons, history lessons, and science lessons, for him on his iPod so that he could be moving while listening. If the subject was anything like math, where he was required to sit and write, he didn't do so well. When three thirty came around and the other kids were getting home from school, he was often teased and didn't have many friends in the neighborhood. He'd go off with Jason, Lynn, and Bailey into the woods where they would play until his mother called him inside.
High school age rolled around and though he would have liked to have been homeschooled for that too, his mother decided it would be character building if he went to a boarding school away from home. Also a strange phone call from the school who had somehow heard about young Chase and his "track" abilities was an incentive. So, Chase was shipped off to the boarding school and so here he is, and has been for the last year. Chase gloriously failed his math class and so is having to take pre algebra again but other than that he's done surprisingly well and has fit in nicely with his classmates.

Chase stood on the lawn of the school right outside the boy's dorm, flipping a quarter almost continuously. His nimble fingers held the round disk of metal for only a moment before flinging it up in the air and catching it again only to repeat the process in an endless barrage of movement. For nearly a full minute now Chase had stayed in this one spot. This was a highly unusual thing but he had no desire to fight his urge to run at the moment. If he took a step, almost inevitably he'd end up across the parking lot before knew that he wasn't keeping a normal pace; well, normal for the slow pokes anyway. No, he was going to stand right here and wait for the one person he knew he'd see if he could only be patient. Patience, unfortunately, was one thing he didn't have in spades.
His blue eyes were glued to the building across from him. All of his classes were done but Maia's weren't. This was the last class for her and he could almost hear the bell ring. Perhaps he could pull the bell and make class get out earlier. It would be so easy. He'd be in and out of the building before anyone could even see him. In fact, he'd be right here on this very spot. Lately his speed had been getting even faster and easier to manage. Chase could feel his fingers close around the quarter once again but this time he didn't flip it. He stuck it in his pocket and kept his hand there, waiting. Shifting his weight from one foot to the other, he twisted his mouth so that he chewed on his lower lip.
"I hate waiting," he complained to himself. "This sucks..." Suddenly he heard the bell ring and watched students pouring forth from the doors like ants out of a damaged hill. There! Oh she was so beautiful. He felt a grin slide across his lips. Soon she would be his, like all of them. Only she wasn't like all of them. Oh no, Mai was something special. Chase couldn't take it anymore, he looked down at his black converse sneakers and grinned. Time to step up to the plate, then. Putting one foot in front of the other, he carried himself with all the ease and grace, learned from a life time of speed. He was beside her within literally the blink of an eye. With a confident tilt of his head, he grinned at her and said,
"Hello, Mai."
