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. And Chipz activates the alarm on the Barrier protecting the school by trying to lean on the bubble and falling outside.
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 and speckles with corrupted red leading up to a towered 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 tongues 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 doorway, especially after they trail Von one night and catch him meeting with shadowy figures in a graveyard where he once again speaks in tongues. 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' 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

Chipz comments that Victor can protect them and Victor responds that Llynn would be more than enough. Llynn ask of the objective that Chipz has to attend the culling, he responds that he's looking for a way out.

Powers and Abilities[]
| Physical Abilities | |
|---|---|
| Ability | Description |
| Combat Training | Type: Physical |
| 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 | Type: Enhanced Physical |
| Chipz, like most vampires, has a wide array of abilities that would be considered super-human. 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. | |
| Anomalies | Type: Unknown |
| 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 to weeks 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 | Type: Enhanced Physical & Mental |
|
Upon entering this state, 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 state, and as such, come with varying effects. When Chipz ingests blood or is overcome with extreme emotions/sensations, Chipz’s hair occasionally turns white and his personality shifts. For example, when Chipz unknowingly consumed some tea and animal blood mixture, his body entered this state. When Chipz came in contact with Vevina's intense pheromones, he was overcome with the desire to drink her blood and entered this state. During a match with Coretta, Chipz was struck with light magic, causing his hair and irises to rapidly change. After recovering from Coretta's attack, Chipz's hair shifted white and his irises shifted red. He also retained his original personality. As a side effect, Chipz has a chance to lose memories of any action he commits during this state, however he can recover them over time. This state is described 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 unknown crazed assailants, Chipz awakens to his innate Ash Magic. The only known capabilities of this magic is that it can disintegrate matter upon contact. Chipz would have incomplete outbursts of ash magic through-out 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". | |
| Disintegrate | Type: Evocation |
 |
Chipz swings his sword full of magic energy, releasing a large wave of ash that destroys anything in its path. |
| Equipment | |
|---|---|
| Scar (Vampiric Weapon) | |
| Upon passing The Culling, Chipz was gifted a soul-bound enchanted katana with a mana stone embedded in the blade. It is non-conductive and capable of harming magical creatures.
300 years later, the color of the mana stone transitions from blue to red. | |
| Blood Supplement (Potion) | |
 |
A concoction produced by Hannah Hart, designed to replace 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, however there are more kept in stock. |
