Turn away 'cause I need you more
Personality>> What is there to say about Chase? Well, first off he's a bit Eccentric. You say it like it's a bad thing, but it makes him interesting. Brilliant, of course, but eccentric. This is a man that doesn't want to be called mister anything, and that could put some students off. It doesn't matter, because so long as they listen and follow directions he doesn't give a damn what they think about him. He's going to stand up at the front of the classroom (on theory days) and shout and make points and expect everyone to listen. Yes, he expects respect.
And then there's his personal life. Here's where Chase is a bit of a wreck. He's touchy, which can get him in trouble trying to form connections with other human beings. There's the fact that he has trouble forming connections, due to apathy or something else... hell, Chase doesn't even know. Coldness comes easily, and to get more than that requires persistence. That, and he takes professionalism quite seriously... until the lines get blurred. Those lines have only been crossed once, and he regrets it. Emotionally reserved, bottled up, and screwed shut very, very tightly.
Likes>> clean equipment, cigarettes, marked improvements, Thai food, the outdoors.
Dislikes>> kids who think they're better than they are, forming emotional attachments, working with mares, people who make fun of his minis (or minis in general), being held back, tight spaces.
Fears>> heights, people finding out about the French boy he was with this past summer.
Hopes>> returning to France, finding somewhere he can teach driving.
Secrets>> he's madly in love with a seventeen year old French boy, one of his students from this pas summer.
It’s the way I’m feeling I just can’t deny
Appearance>> Chase, to be perfectly honest, is adorable. That's false. He's thin and lanky, without much muscle in his abdomen. There's very little softness, but equally little rigidity. His limbs are long, with a handsome silhouette and slender shoulders. The skin that stretches across his bones is pale-- a reflection of Irish heritage. Eyes that are a clear blue set evenly into his face... hauntingly, even. They're very, very light and always have been. Another mark of the Irish blood in his veins? Chase is a ginger. It's light, when he's out in the sun the color lightens even more considerably and even hedging on blond, but he always has and will be a ginger. As far as dressing goes? Jeans and a tank top are generally the way he goes.
Markings>> Chase has an intricate chest piece and half sleeve that extends to under his elbow and on the inside of his right arm. It's all fairly easy to hide under a shirt, though sometimes he has to be careful with his sleeves. That, and he has his nipple pierced but doesn't generally take advantage of it, as it gets caught on stuff.
But I’ve gotta let it go
Medical History>> he's broken his wrist and a few ribs in various riding incidents at ages 15, 18, and 21.
Criminal History>> He's never been caught for anything more than a couple parking tickets. He was a bit of a shop lifter when he was younger, though he hasn't taken a five finger discount since he was 18.
Full History>> Born on the affluent island of Martha's Vineyard, Massachusetts, Chase has never had to worry about much. The status of his family (old money, stemming from his father's holdings in the family's commercial real estate empire) has left him comfortable to do really whatever he pleases. His education was started in Massachusetts and completed at an institution similar to this one in Virginia. His love of driving started when he was just ten years old, deciding to try his mother's favorite hobby on for size. Chase caught the driving bug, and he caught it bad. Though in school, he both trained and competed in western competitions, he's always had a soft spot for driving.
The opportunity of a life time came shortly after graduation. An internship in France, supposedly for a year, working with restoring the phenotype of the Castillonnais breed. The man that owned the farm was more than happy to take on a young man that had such a wonderful academic record (for his apathetic surface, Chase graduated with a 3.8 GPA) and history with driving horses.
It was in France that Chase found himself madly in love with life. He became infatuated with the project, the breed, the people, and the culture. It swallowed him up and gripped him by the heart, overwhelming him and invigorating him. It was a Chase that he himself had never met. The owner of the farm he worked at? A kind man who opened his home and his heart for Chase. He had three sons, the oldest of which 28, the middle thirteen when Chase arrived, and the youngest only seven years old when the young man arrived. Their mother had passed away five years before, and it left each person in the house in a different frame of mind. A part of Chase liked to think that he was filling a sort of void, another human being in the house.
Things with Adam were a slow burn. Chase didn't even consider a relationship with the young man as a faint possibility until the young man was sixteen, and by then it was almost too late. Chase's visa was running out, and he was starting to detach himself. Though he loved the world he was living in, the project was coming to a close... and yet he couldn't get the young man out of his head. It was a maddening sort of thing, something he couldn't help, even as he started to pull away.
And now that the project has run out for him, and he's back in the States, things are rough for Chase. He's just found a job, gotten himself a dog, and he's burning on the inside.
We found love in a hopeless place
Bling>>
Registered Name>> TKS Bling and Things
Age>> six months
Gender>> male
Species>> canine
Breed>> border collie
Registry>> dual; AKC/UKC
Personality>> Bling is a fairly typical puppy. He's goofy and rolly, with a short attention span and bright eyes. He's jumpy, a bit nippy, but his heart is in the good place. Very typical of the border collie personality, he is a one man dog but doesn't show any aggression toward other humans. Bling has minor separation anxiety issues, and must be crated when Chase leaves... else he chews on everything.
History>> Bling doesn't have too much in the way of history. He's from decent lines, but remains a pet quality and working dog. He's been altered, and is registered simply for performance purposes. Chase purchased the pup at seventeen weeks after returning from France and finding himself cripingly lonely. Bling became his constant companion, and they've been together ever since.
