The Bonus Section!
Note: this intro is on every extra page, so scroll down to see the actual content if you've read this already!Hello, and welcome to the Bonus Section of the Alters Rising website! This will be a slightly organized info dump about acharacter, their family, their environment, and whatever else I think of. I'll also be a lot more open with what I say, like referencing and pointing towards my secret stories that I've hidden throughout my website (in case you missed them, of course).… I mean it- this is just a lot of words.
The Chasey Family:Flint Chasey is the youngest of six kids in the Chasey family. Here is a little bit about each of his family members!Mr. Cyrus Sterling Chasey and Mrs. Amber Lazuli Du Monte Chasey:Cyrus Chasey is the son of the renowned Fillmore Chasey… and he probably stopped mentally developing at the age of 18. But then again, he managed to get with Amber Du Monte, so clearly some sort of neurons had to fire in his brain, right?All jokes aside, Cyrus learned early on to never do anything halfway. He's grandiose in character- not only wanting to see things through, but also to see things to the absolute max. You'd think that when he became a business major in college, he would push his academics to the limit to be the best he could, right? Wrong. Business classwork was easy to him- most of his dad's lessons in how to run a business stuck. He already felt like he was always ready to be the next Mr. Chasey. So, he found other ways of making the most of his time; Cyrus was out on the town nearly every night. The parties he could remember were not nearly as awesome as the parties he couldn't recall.At some point, however, Cyrus noticed something. His mother had already passed, and his father was getting older. Deep down, Cyrus knew he was missing something. So, he filled it by finding his other half- Amber De Monte (you can read about the proposal under the word "halfway" in Flint's section). Even though Cyrus did do well in all the classes, Amber actually studied business. She became the one to handle what would've been the more respected side of Fillmore Chasey- or at least, her perception of that side of Fillmore.Amber wanted everything to be perfect, even if her hands were off the table. If something couldn't function without her being there, then it wasn't working hard enough. Besides, she had a jewelry empire of her own- she couldn't afford to divide all of her time to everything that happened in the Chasey businesses. So, she chose to hire executives and COOs she trusted to do most of the heavy lifting.Cyrus, as his father aged, became an even stronger idea of that- never do anything halfway. He had a couple of kids by now, but they weren't as… grand as he had hoped. They had promising futures- Dustin developed Cyrus' own powers (he would make a fantastic rockball quarterback) and Selenite had Amber's powers (she could inherit her mother's business quite well). However, Micah didn't have strong powers at all (Cyrus might just have to make Micah smart rather than strong, which isn't entirely what he had in mind). None of Cyrus' kids were even a little bit stronger than him and his wife. How can a family thrive when there isn't a strong rock alter to lead it?Fillmore, in his last few years on earth, was noticing how Cyrus viewed the life set out in front of him. He knew that if Cyrus raised his kids the way Cyrus wanted to, none of them would be able to be the head of the family. So, he pulled his son off to the side and told him that Cyrus needed to raise a true heir to the family.Cyrus couldn't agree more.Selenite Maria Chasey (25 years old):Selenite is the eldest of the Chasey children. She has her mother’s powers- great for continuing Amber’s jewelry business. She’s uptight and in charge (which can make her come across as a bit of a buzz kill to the wild side of the family). Her siblings constantly “borrowed” her jewelry for one reason or another, which taught her to be fresh and creative with each new jewelry piece she made. In fact, her first piece was a gold necklace with an oval topaz embedded in a golden frame- a necklace Flint took and now wears proudly to this day.Dustin Jasper Chasey (23 years old):Dustin (Dusty to those close to him) proudly wears the number 89 on the Stone Stallion rockball team. With Cyrus’ rock strength, Dustin took the athletic career path and was a quarterback in junior high, high school, AND college. His siblings like to joke that Dusty got so good at throwing rocks because he'd throw Micah a lot whenever they were little. Micah does not find this story amusing.While he might not be a starter for the Stallions yet, everyone believes that his career prospects are bright.Micah Beryl Chasey (20 years old):Micah's powers are… unimportant, to say the least. He can pick up any rock and be able to identify it perfectly. Well, at least geologists would find Micah valuable. In the line of the Chasey's, however… not so much. Micah chose to dedicate himself to the pursuit of knowledge. He's already gotten his undergraduate, and he is now working on his PhD in geology. Colleges were fighting over having Micah at their school- not just because of his GPA but also for that sweet Chasey funding.Alexandrite Coral Chasey (19 years old):Born slightly before her twin sister, Alexandrite (Alex for short) is a natural sculptor. She has a hypersensitive touch for rock, allowing her to feel every minute crack, change in angle, and material in what she touches. Alex says that whenever she picks up a piece of stone to carve or clay to mold, she feels exactly what she wants the art to be. She works long and hard on each art piece, and her attention to detail has given her work huge praise. Alex is featured in art museums around the world, and she's in the development stage of creating a museum of her own.Opal Maisie Chasey (19 years old):Opal is the twin to Alex, and she was born with the most unusual power in the family- the ability to transform her skin into any rock or gem material she touches. While practically speaking her powers don't do much, Opal has found a great career in modeling. Designers love the fact that Opal's skin can change to suit any outfit perfectly and will have her hold specific rocks and gems while on the runway.More About Flint Chasey (Because Who Wouldn’t Want to Know More)?After he was born, as soon as Flint knew how to grab something, he was able to lift up rocks that were his size with ease. Amber and Cyrus couldn’t believe it- Flint was nothing short of unimaginable power compacted into one vessel.Amber saw Flint’s powers and believed that, if he could control abilities of that magnitude, he would also have the mental fortitude necessary to handle the entire family empire. He would be collected and pristine like her, able to be the boss this family needed.Cyrus, on the other hand, saw nothing but unlimited potential in his son- how far could the powers go? And, better yet, how awesome will it be to see how impressed the world will be? People would see Flint and see Fillmore. No, not just see Fillmore. They would see Flint Chasey- the successor to Fillmore the world was waiting for. He would be a dazzling display of power and influence, and he would have the abilities to back it up!Flint Chasey could not feel any better about himself even if he tried. He is on top of the world. He has a family empire he is going to inherit. He has thousands of adoring fans. His relationships with his siblings are… okay, but at least his parents love him so much. Life is perfect, because he is perfect.Flint's life is one that's always on the move. He flies in and out of the mansion on nearly a weekly basis, and he's gotten used to his tutor handing him stacks of homework before he dashes out the door, learning how to do work in various moving vehicles. Flint has begun to regard as his house as just as much of a temporary stay as he would for a hotel due to how often he's just going in and out. Sometimes, the mansion doesn't even feel like home due to how often he comes home to some crazy party his dad wanted to throw for work colleagues, college friends, or just whatever rich guy was in town that day.Everywhere Flint goes, people want to see him do something cool with his powers. Usually, picking up the nearest rock and lifting up dozens of various stones around him does the trick. Sometimes, if he's feeling humorous, he'll casually hand the nearest person his staff and watch as they drop it due to how heavy it is. He'll swoop down and catch it with a grin before it hits the ground, of course. Some days, he'll show a bit of the routine he has prepared for a gala. It really just depends on what Flint thinks the crowd is in the mood for. Flint's always performing for someone.Flint has no known allergies and has never been sick. If it weren’t for routine checkups, Flint would’ve never had to step into a doctor’s office… other than for one, tiny thing. Flint Chasey is incredibly nearsighted. He’s very sensitive about this fact, so he exclusively only wears contacts and takes them on and off alone.
