(Brief Retcon of Chandler's background while I wait for Fian to reveal his mysterious NPC crewmen.)
"Hmm... These footprints are getting really dragged out..." Chandler said, looking at a doorway in front of him. The door was only partly on its hinges, and the vague outline of a muddy boot was embossed on the front like a greeting card. Chandler drew his HPAR-01, hefting the PA-grade weapon in both hands. Sure, the 60-kilo gun was enough to knock a normal man flat on his ass, but Chandler was no normal man.
Chandler, before joining the IPG, had been "The Crimson Scar", a professional assassin with a flair for big guns, sharp knives and cultural diversity and refinement. He was best known for the reason his hair was dyed crimson in some places- a 'tithe' paid by each of his victims (their blood, dried and fused with locks of his hair). He was rampantly insane, and had a record of almost 100 assassinations when the Funky City PD finally brought him in.
Faced with a choice between execution and a lifetime of servitude in the Marines, Chandler went with killing again- for a righteous cause, of course. Chandler was attached to the Nepleslian 1st Fleet, to a "penal ship" where society's misfit odds and ends were assigned to backwater guard assignments where they would be of no risk to each-other and enemy forces. Along the way, Chandler became involved in a personal experiment by the (also slightly insane) Captain Argyle Molloy who implanted a chip in his brain that planted false memories in his brain and regulated his hormones, keeping him from that mysterious, unexplained urge to kill and later dye his hair with his victims' lifeblood.
With an impressive combat record, Chandler was pulled from Molloy's group of misfits and joined the IPG for a brief tenure where, following one of his crewmates breaking the chip (and collapsing a portion of his skull in the process), extensive surgery gave him control of his former self. Chandler went on to become one of the IPG's most effective- if brutal- Initiates, and was nearly promoted to operative status when the Midnights attacked him. Having already been augmented with IPG Operator Implants, Chandler proceeded to walk out of the facility almost unharmed, leaving piles of bodies in his wake.
After wandering the ruins of Funky City as a professional scavenger and killer, Chandler happened to fall into a Midnight trap. Despite his combat skill, cybernetic augmentations and rampant insanity, Chandler narrowly survived the encounter, escaping only when Kai and Melli arrived in the nick of time, driving off the Midnights and giving Chandler shelter. Refusing to let his newfound "debt" to Kai and Melli go unpaid, Chandler stayed around as the group's scavenger, eventually becoming a functional member of Kai's little group.
Thusly, Chandler can be proved as "not normal at all". Which was also proved by him smashing the door the rest of the way off the hinges and sprinting alone into a dark room in an unknown building.
