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. 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 pure light. He and Shi were based on two of the author's late pets.

Appearance and Personality
Chance was a tall, slightly muscular German Shepard with dark ears, a grizzled snout, and a short, hook-shaped tail. He wore gold armor, complete with tread-like shoulder guards which held his red cape together, along with his back brace provided by the Mechas. Due to the fur on his neck, it sometimes appears as if he has long hair or, in some shots, a beard.

Though not much has been recorded over the years, Chance was claimed to have been a kind soul to both humans and anthros. And when it came to the short war against humanity, Chance hand-selected those who were respectful of his people to run their own kingdom in harmony with his. It was the rest of them who he banished to the outlands; the same which he was known to be highly aggressive toward even when they lost, seeing them as evil and ungrateful despite his years of service to them as a simple gardener.

Even before his rule, Chance was humble stating he was only a soldier for the Thexians, and it was Shi who convinced him to continue to lead them in the right direction and teaching their son how to be better. And though King Chance II was in charge years later, his father would see himself on the frontlines again and making world-shaping decisions when the Sigma Triumvirate arrived on Thex. Chance was especially weary of the organization, which was largely comprised of humans, and feeling that the Nova Corp, which then threatened the universe, was their mistake. However, seeing other worlds like his own in danger, he agreed though only temporarily as by the time the war ended, he severed all ties with the ST. In the final battle of the war, Chance was said to be at his meanest; even more than when he overthrew humanity, targeting Bardoss personally to finally end his life and save the universe.
