This section is currently Under Construction, as is the Transcription Page. This section is not intended to detail every line and moment of every episode, but rather to offer an abridged summary of the events of Ascension Academy from Chipz' POV. |
Before Ascension:[]
Much of Chipz life before coming to Ascension Academy is unknown and has only been alluded to during conversations with other students, and briefly in a flashback during The Culling. This information is liable to change in the future as more information is revealed and expanded upon. Some information may also be slightly speculative, as Chipz tends to beat around the bush with his history and implication is heavy. These moments have been called out as such in the text as they come.
Childhood[]
Chipz grew up in a small village north of Saigon with his mother and father. His parents were both musical and he learned how to play guitar from his father, who also gave him the very same guitar he still uses during Ascension Academy. They also tended chickens, and he helped cook a little- mostly only being allowed to crack eggs. When Chipz was roughly ten the village he was in was attacked by vampires and his family was killed. He was taken and turned either during or shortly after this event.
Training[]
Chipz on a mission with Victor.
After Chipz was turned by Tess he was put into a squad to train under Godfrey for ten years alongside twenty other vampires- both Pure Bloods and Half Bloods alike. Out of them, Chipz, Victor, and Genevieve were three of the roughly five who survived, and were all close. The training was rigorous and brutal as they were forced to endure hundreds of forms of torture and death to build up a resistance to them, to numb the recruits. They were drowned, burned alive, and maimed repeatedly- every possible method of torture or weakness was exhausted, even tickling. During this time Chipz was also trained in strategy and combat, becoming adept in at least three combat forms and with a rifle. While the other recruits were taught to use their natural and magical abilities as well, learning to control their vampiric charms and blood magic, Chipz was forbidden from learning any form of magic, likely due to the volatile ash magic he is capable of. The whole time Chipz was targeted by the other recruits for his 'special treatment' and they frequently attempted to murder him or get him killed. During all of this his close bond with Victor was forged as Victor took Chipz under his wing for an unknown reason, warding off the 'bullies'. At one point, as is standard for vampires in training, Chipz was starved and locked in a cage with several captives, with the expectation that he would snap and feed from them. Chipz however blacked out and lashed out, killing the vampires present instead and demonstrating a unique ability to 'aim' his rage in these normally out of control moments unlike most vampires.
In the Field[]
Victor and Chipz, and presumably other survivors of their squad, were deployed on various missions during their training, the details of which are mostly unknown. They have both stated that they were sent to hunt down rogue vampires, either Ferals or those in the process of turning into Vargheists, in the past. They were also sent on scouting missions regularly to keep tabs on human settlements close to the Dark Lands. On one such routine scouting mission the other members of their unit were seemingly corrupted or put under the influence of something that caused them to not only slaughter the villagers but also attack Chipz and Victor. While speculation, the cloaked figures their superior was seen talking to before he and the rest went mad bear a striking resemblance to the shadowy figures that were within the Crypt under Camp Cari during Ascension Academy, which potentially means this had something to do with The Darkness. On this mission Chipz and Victor were forced to disable their fellow vampires and allowed a mother and her daughter to flee the slaughter.
Year 1
A Second Chance[]
Chipz wakes up in the bus stop after arriving at Ascension Academy with many other students and meets several friendly faces including Vevina the Bugkin, and Esmae the Spirit. His first few days at the school are mostly peaceful as he and the rest of the students get to know one another through various bonding exercises as well as becoming familiar with the layout of the school. Chipz is a natural troublemaker however, and very quickly ends up in various messes of varying levels of severity. His efforts to teach Rook about life end less than successfully with several of the other students aggravated at him for causing Rook to act so awkwardly. A joke gets out of hand and many of the students become convinced someone has been peeing in the pond in the middle of the Dorm area. Chipz also activates the alarm on the Barrier protecting the school by trying to lean on the bubble and falling outside, trying to prove that it is solid.
These light hearted antics soon fall to the wayside as Chipz, Rook, and Esmae discover something far more sinister hidden within the school. Chipz is drawn to the doorway of one of the closed buildings and upon entering with his friends they discover a vast pocket space, dark, with speckles of corrupted red cracks, leading up to a towering red portal. Upon entering they are transported to a cave system and discover another more physical doorway sealed shut by magic and metal. Chipz is drawn to the door as it whispers to him, and he rests a hand against its surface. Just then the teachers storm the caves and the trio is forced to hide and wait for them to leave. Professor Von, however, stays behind and they see him speaking in an unknown language to the door before they flee.
Chipz is certain after this that the teachers, specifically Von, must be trying to release something from inside the door, especially after they trail Von one night and catch him meeting with shadowy figures in a graveyard where he once again speaks in an unknown language. He confronts Von on the roof of the school when he catches him doing something to the Crystal and Von snaps, ripping his mask off and yelling for him to leave. He needed to know what the teachers were hiding, he was sure of it now, but he regrets he may have to burn his second chance at life to do so. He assembles the other students to pass on his thoughts before continuing his efforts.
Growing Closer[]
As the weeks carry on, the students are put through more bonding exercises. Chipz's hunger almost gets the better of him however during a larger gathering, where he nearly snapped several times before he was able to escape with a new student to somewhere quiet. Before they could even talk the Professors showed up, convinced Chipz was going to feed on Rin. Finally however, the day came. Chipz was placed in Ignis Squad, along with Esmae, Rook, Victor, Speca, and Vevina. TBC

Victor, Chipz, and Llynn near the Dark Lands
At the same time of the 99th Hart ball, Chipz, Victor, and Llynn, are camping in the woods near the Dark lands. Llynn tells them that they should still be careful even if they are near their turf, because monsters may come and it could be dangerous for a starved vampire. Chipz comments that Victor can protect them and Victor responds that Llynn would be more than enough. Llynn asks of the objective that Chipz has to attend the culling, and he responds that he's looking for a way out. She responds that vampires should be grateful for their gift, saying that if they leave the world to the humans, the world will go to a destruction path.

Arrival of Guests[]
Chipz is walking along the beach when Professor Briar and his fairies suddenly approach him. Briar tells Chipz that he has business with him and wants to tutor him. Chipz and Briar argue about the sudden tutelage but eventually agree to meet at the Mother Tree in front of the Academy. As Chipz continues talking, Briar flies away, leaving the fairy behind with Chipz.
At night, Chipz arrives at the tree where Briar and Morgan are conversing. Briar dismisses Morgan and begins a private lesson with Chipz, intending to understand him better. Briar starts by complimenting Chipz on his guitar skills, mentioning he has heard Chipz play from his perch in the tree. He then asks about Chipz's death, which surprises Chipz. Chipz reveals he was turned into a vampire at around 6-7 years old on the same day his parents died, who were ordinary people. Chipz wonders about the line of questioning from Briar, asking what any of it has to do with the lesson. Briar reassures Chipz that he’s simply trying to understand him, noting Chipz’s genuine love for music and his avoidance of the typical vampiric behavior, which sets him apart from his peers.
Briar also points out his affinity for Light, despite being a vampire. He tells Chipz his body should be torn apart for the contrasting affinities, yet he is still here. Briar asks Chipz to cast a skill and Chipz tells him he can't, as his spells break down. He can tri-cast, use foci, and channel mana, but he can't create a spell. Briar notes that physical and mental conditions can prevent the user from spell-casting. Chipz asks if his vampiric condition is related to this, however Briar reassures him that his undead nature has nothing to do with it.

Powers and Abilities[]
| Physical Abilities | |
|---|---|
| Combat Training | |
| Chipz was trained for at least ten years to make use of a vast variety of weaponry, from swords and shields, spears, and axes to guns and hand-to-hand. He has shown the greatest proficiency with short swords, daggers, and the katana, being very capable in at least three combat styles using these. He is also a skilled marksman with something close to an 80% headshot accuracy with a rifle the first time the students were told to use them. | |
| Vampiric Powers | |
| Chipz, like most vampires, has a wide array of physical abilities that would be considered superhuman. Despite this, almost nobody knows his true capabilities as he hides it away even in intense combat situations. He is able to run at least 50 miles (80,46~Km) an hour, likely faster. He can leap 20-30 feet (6,1-9,1 meters) in the air, and survive much further falls. He has enhanced hearing, sight, and smell, and is able to recover from any physical injury short of decapitation, given enough time. | |
| Anomalies | |
| Chipz has shown time and time again that he is an outlier even among vampires. He is able to recover quickly after being staked in the heart - an injury that puts even the strongest of his kind out for days, weeks, months, even years sometimes. He has gone longer without blood than any other vampire known, all without succumbing and becoming feral or turning into a Vargheist. Despite not feeding, his abilities are shown to be on-par with a pure-blooded vampire. | |
| Ashen | |
|
Upon entering this form, Chipz receives various heightened abilities, such as enhanced hearing, sight, smell, and overall awareness. Chipz's physical abilities are also enhanced. There are various conditions required to enter this form, and as such, come with varying effects. When Chipz ingests blood, or is overcome with extreme emotions/sensations, his hair will occasionally turn white and his personality shifts. For example, when Chipz consumed some tea that, unbeknownst to him, had cow blood mixed into it, his body entered this form. He had only been told it had blood in it after he took a sip. When Chipz came into prolonged contact with Vevina's intense pheromones, he entered this form. He had a strong desire to drink her blood, but still was not being forceful about it. During a match with Coretta, Chipz was struck with an intense beam of light magic, causing his hair and irises to rapidly change color. After recovering from Coretta's attack, Chipz's hair shifted white and his irises shifted red. He also retained his original personality. His irises shifted back to blue eventually, for an uncertain reason. As a side effect, Chipz has a chance to lose memories of any action he commits during this form, however he can recover them over time. This form is described by Chipz to be a reflection of his desires in the current moment, with the purpose of acting them out. | |
| Innate Magic | |
|---|---|
| Ash Magic | |
During an intense battle between Chipz and Initiates of The Dark Order, Chipz awakens to his innate Ash Magic. The only known capabilities of this magic is that it can disintegrate matter upon contact, turning it to ash. Chipz would have incomplete outbursts of ash magic throughout his life; most notably when he lost his parents. It is synonymous with his Ashen state and the reason behind his moniker as "The Ashen". | |
| Ashen Aura | Type: Evocation |
 |
Ashen Aura: Chipz surrounds himself in immense magic energy, causing wind and ash to circulate around him. |
| Enchant | Type: Transmutation |
 |
Enchant (Ashen Blade): Chipz infuses ash magic in the blade of his Scar. While Enchant is active, the Scar is ignited with a black and blue flame. |
| Invisibility | Type: Illusion |
 |
Invisibility: Chipz vanishes in a blue cloud of ash, rendering him invisible to the naked eye. |
| Ashen Rift | Type: Evocation |
 |
Ashen Rift: Chipz preforms a vertical slash, releasing a wave of ash magic energy in the form of a crescent. |
| Ashen Cut | Type: Evocation |
|
Ashen Cut: Chipz rapidly swings his sword, releasing a ripple of black and blue, ash enchanted slashes. |
| Disintegrate | Type: Evocation |
 |
Disintegrate (Ashen Slash): Chipz raises his sword in the air, chants the word "Disintegrate", then lowers his sword down. When his sword is lowered, a large wave of ash is released, destroying anything in its path. |
| Equipment | |
|---|---|
| Scar (Vampiric Weapon) | |
| Upon passing The Culling, Chipz was gifted a sentient soul-bound katana with a mana stone embedded in the blade. She is the twin sister of Victor's Scar, Vow. As an enchanted weapon, she is non-conductive and capable of harming magical creatures. The scar is currently named Scar-Chan, until given a proper name, to Vow and Victor's dismay.
In a battle against the leader of the Kouga Clan, she calls out to him, enticing him to hack and slash away at his opponent. As Chipz draws blood from his enemy, she strengthens him, converting blood into power. The Scar is preformed by ChiChiLychee. | |
| Bokken | |
|
|
A tree branch given to Chipz by the Mother Tree. In a desire to not kill his dueling opponent, Coretta, Chipz carved the branch into a wooden katana. Chipz often used the bokken to train before class. During the events of the Lost Library, Chipz used his bokken as a divining rod, leading him to those destined to find the Lost Library. It now serves its purpose as the key to the Lost Library, but Chipz still brings it with him for other reasons. |
| Blood Supplement | |
 |
A concoction produced by Hannah Hart, designed to be a replacement for blood for Chipz. Currently, the potion increases Chipz's ability to regenerate and improve his pain-tolerance. As designed, it eases Chipz's cravings for blood as well. As of now, it is unknown how Hannah created the potion, even to herself, however there are more kept in stock. |
