Chance Wilkins: Difference between revisions

== Early life ==

{{SpecialMessage|Message=Cyraxx is confirmed to have a biological brother. Please keep him, beyond brief mentions, out of this article and this wiki. To our knowledge, he has never interacted with Cyraxx.}}

Chance was born as the second child of [[Connie Lobdell]] and [[Ruple Smith]] in Kenai, Alaska, on September 20, 1990, under the name "Patrick Smith." From birth, Chance faced [[Health and Appearance|numerous health complications]], including being born underweight, with only one kidney, an undeveloped lung, scoliosis, and various other health issues. These challenges were likely due to Chance being born prematurely, reportedly at just 26 weeks (6 months) into Connie's pregnancy<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=15uN8k8cECs&t=1086s</ref> (''not'' at 16 weeks, which is often falsely recounted by many people), which would've been so early that he would have not yet developed brown fat in his skin, leaving his skin somewhat transparent.  

After moving to Atlanta, Chance was moved to Lake Wales, Florida,<ref name=":0" /> when he was at most 10 years of age. He attended Roosevelt Academy,<ref>https://odysee.com/@UnofficialCyraxArchive:b/2017-2-16-Save-Roosevelt-(Facebook):b</ref> and presumably around this time, he was in Cub Scouts.<ref>https://odysee.com/@UnofficialCyraxArchive:b/2012-6-29-Inside-The-Shadows-Episode-1-Part-2:3?&t=142</ref> On Chance's 17th birthday in 2007,<ref>https://www.myheritage.com/names/connie_lobdell</ref> Connie passed away in a house fire.

After Sally divorced Gordon, possibly due to the stress of adopting Chance,<ref name=":2" /> she, Chance, and [[William]] (one of her sons from a previous marriage) moved to Akron, Ohio around 2008-2009, around when Cyraxx turned 18. Chance started attending Garfield High when he moved to Akron. Information about Cyraxx's time in Garfield is extremely limited, with the only people giving much insight into it being [[Elspeth|Kat]] and [[Blind Billy]], who were presumably his only friends. His friends led to him finding a passion for [[music]] and [[dancing]], as Elspeth introduced him to artists like Linkin Park. Cyraxx did poorly in school both due to his [[Intelligence|intellectual disabilities]] and presumably being picked on for his appearance. Despite this, he was never given any special education or disability services, although he was often given easier assignments in school by his teachers.{{CitationNeeded}}
