* '''Personality''': A young, boisterous man with large aspirations and little experience, he’s nearly as concerned with his next love conquest as he is his daily duties.  While not entirely hopeless and his work is mostly satisfactory, he is often late, forgetful, or clumsy on the job.  His record is littered with minor infractions, mostly from frustrated senior officers who couldn’t corral his less-than-disciplined nature and his penchant for unapproved body modifications.  His record doesn’t seem to bother him that much, though he doesn’t purposefully try to get on his crews bad side.  Despite his somewhat tough appearance, he is perfectly friendly, even overly sociable and seems the trustworthy type to have around.  His self confidence in the face of his failures can come off as equally endearing and frustrating to those around him.  When he isn’t socializing, working, or playing music… and sometimes even when he is… he is always listening to at least one running data feed.
* '''Personality''': A young, boisterous man with large aspirations, larger apparent self-confidence, and he’s more concerned with his next love conquest than his daily duties.  While not entirely hopeless and his work is mostly satisfactory, he is often late, forgetful, or clumsy on the job.  His capability for engineering is undoubtedly high, but his ability to finish a project without getting distracted is a big hurdle.  His record is littered with minor infractions, mostly from frustrated senior officers who couldn’t corral his less-than-disciplined nature and his penchant for unapproved body modifications.  His record doesn’t seem to bother him that much, though he doesn’t purposefully try to get on his crews bad side.  Despite his somewhat tough appearance, and socially domineering attitude, he is perfectly friendly, even overly sociable... though he doesn't come off as too trustworthy.  His self confidence in the face of his failures can come off as equally endearing and frustrating to those around him.  When he isn’t socializing, working, or playing music… and sometimes even when he is… he is always listening to at least one running data feed.  His need to know all current information is nearly an addiction, and his technophilia (love for advanced technology) has no known limit.  
* '''Defining Songs''': Mumford and Sons, "Little Lion Man."

* '''Disappointments''': Letting his guard down and explaining his youth raised in a religious cult to Doctor Talya Robins, as he fiercely guards his personal information concerning his life pre-adoption at age 10.  Her friendship, and having chosen to have his child, appears to have garnered something of a genuine bond with him, though he'll still deny any emotional involvement with her if asked.

* '''Mental problems (complexes and phobias)''': Some have commented as to his apparent (yet undiagnosed and well-camouflaged) sociopathic tendencies.  He spends a great deal of his free time searching for his next intimate encounter, accepting it regardless of its source.  A counselor might wonder why he is so profusely tattooed and pierced (against Starfleet uniform policy), as well as his lacking of apparent moral compass.  Chase is genuinely fearful of deep/dark water and can’t swim at all.
