King Chance

Chance (AKA The Idea Man) was the established ruler of Thex long before the modern age. He was the mastermind behind the liberation of the original anthros at the peak of human civilization and is said to have fought and slain Bardoss III of the Nova Corp in the Great War of the universe. He also married a mage nicknamed Shi who introduced him to the art of magic which prolonged their lives even when their son, Chance II, took the throne. By the time the two passed away, their mission to rewrite society into a utopia became a success, sprouting new lines of kings and queens for over 300+ years until the reign of Maximus who converted the central kingdom into a despot.

Chance and Shi would often be cited as a source of inspiration for future heroes and would be highly regarded by the Sigma Republic despite their efforts to paint the Thexian humans in a good light. He and Shi were based on two of the author's late pets.
