Name: Chuck Greene
Age: 30
Gender: Male
Canon, AU, or OC?: Canon
Universe of Origin: Dead Rising
Personality: Chuck is a no-nonsense man used to living in a nonsensical world. Though he means well, he often says exactly the wrong thing at the worst possible time. Chuck has a strong sense of justice, and will do anything to protect his loved ones and friends. His abrasive nature often gets him in trouble with the local authorities.
Abilities/Weapons:
Heroic Resolve: Chuck is impossibly durable. Able to take bullets, chainsaws, zombie bites, and explosives many times over without perishing, it's a wonder he is still so handsome after what he's been through.
Arbitrary Resourcefulness: Chuck is a dab hand at mechanics, electronics, medicine, biology, combustion mechanics, and the art of warfare. Oddly enough, this only applies when Chuck is either trying to kill something or making weapons to kill something. It's often suggested that, if Chuck were to broaden his horizons and realize that everything he does is killing something in a way, he could conquer the world within the week.
Driver's License: Chuck is a master at racing motorcycles. Somehow, this translates into exceptional skills at piloting golf carts, forklifts, train cars, starships, trucks, and mecha. When pressed, he cannot adequately explain how to operate these vehicles, suggesting some mystical driving force behind it.
Lightning Metabolism: Even though it should logically be impossible, Chuck can recover from any nonfatal wounds instantaneously through eating food. His digestive tract is equally fantastic, being capable of consuming, holding down, and digesting entire pizzas within seconds.
His metabolism extends to any toxic or debilitating chemicals he consumes. He will suffer the effects of alcohol, food, or chemical poisoning for mere fractions of a minute at a time, before immediately returning to peak form.
Paddlesaw: One of Chuck's favorite weapons, the Paddlesaw is a pair of chainsaws crudely duct-taped to a massive kayak paddle. Chuck uses this as both a paddle for wading through seas of zombified meat and a horribly unwieldy bo staff, to great effect. It is significantly more durable than one would think, and the chainsaws do not appear to need fuel.
Knife Gloves: Another of Chuck's favorite weapons, the Knife Gloves are six mundane kitchen knives embedded in a set of oversized novelty boxing gloves. Given impossible strength through Chuck's eldritch usage of nothing but duct tape, these knives are fully capable of slashing military kevlar to ribbons and cleaving flesh from bone with only a single wild swing.
Katey Greene: Does not accompany him on his adventures. That would be just stupid. She stays at his luxury apartment on Yggdrasil. Despite the UMMA's extensive medical science research, they could not find a way to cure her condition. However, they
did find a way to manufacture Zombrex. The UMMA gladly provides Katey with Zombrex, so long as Chuck remains faithful and provides the UMMA's citizens with thrilling entertainment.
Backstory: Born in 1983, Chuck's childhood was rather mundane. Through unknown means, he became a star motocross champion, and travelled across the country to show off his driving skills.
Along the way, he met his future wife Pam Greene, and together they had a lovely daughter named Katey. The trio were inseparable, following Chuck wherever he went, and offering support whenever he was down.
Tragedy struck when a catastrophic outbreak broke out in Las Vegas in 2008, just as Chuck and his family were about to enter it. Unable to escape the city before Pam was infected and zombified, Pam managed to infect Katey before being brought down by Chuck. Together, Chuck and Katey narrowly escape Las Vegas before the city was wiped out.
Now forced to constantly buy the miracle anti-zombification drug Zombrex for his ailing daughter, Chuck worked himself to the bone. Any motocross event that would take him, Chuck joined. Barely managing to make a living between buying Zombrex and maintaining his prized motorcycle, Chuck was a wreck of a man.
Barely three years later, tragedy struck Chuck
again as he was trapped in Fortune City just as another zombie outbreak began. Forced to fend for his life for his daughter's sake, Chuck managed to not only rescue a number of civilians, but uncover and destroy the insidious operations of both supposed instigator Tyrone King and the dangerously opportunistic pharmaceuticals company Phenotrans. After a harrowing series of fights against both Phenotrans' chief operative and the eternally-ungrateful Tyrone King,
Life for Chuck Greene had changed quite a bit since the outbreak. Still a loving father with a loving daughter and a potential flame in political activist Stacey Forsythe, Chuck became more active in uncovering all of Phenotrans' dirty laundry. Without anyone to help him find leads, Chuck Greene resorted to old-fashioned bare-knuckle investigations, sneaking into labs and stealing confidential information.
While investigating one promising-looking Phenotrans holding, he discovered a strange device. It thrummed with a strange heat and, when activated, created a portal to somewhere. But where? On the device was the insignia of a strange organization called 'Shadow Eternity'. Just as he was about to take a picture of the strange device, a number of heavily-armed and heavily-armored goons wearing the same insignia surrounded him! With nowhere to run, Chuck fled through the portal and arrived right next to a team of UMMA agents investigating what Shadow Eternity was doing with Phenotrans.
Sensing a hero in Chuck, the agents gladly let Chuck join the UMMA, on the condition that they bring Katey and Stacey along as well. Now a member of the UMMA, Chuck happily became a TV star, performing amazing tricks in exotic universes for fame and fortune. Though Zombrex was provided free of charge to his family, Chuck still worked as hard as ever, bringing fantastic entertainment to the UMMA's population.
