Background:
Born and Rasied in LA, Chandler came from a middle classed family. From the time he was a young boy he always had two real passions in life, Monsters, and writing. Chandler pulled down dececnt grades in school, and even managed to get a grant to attend a small colllage and study Journalism. After grauduating collage he hoped to get a day job as an investigative reporter for one of the larger newspapers in LA, and write horror fiction on the side. Too bad for him, you don't always get what you want. Chandler was turned down by every major newspaper in LA, and he quickly found he didn't have the stamina for writting novels. Fortuantely he managed to luck in to the perfect job for his skills, freelance tabliod journalist. Chandler spent several years building a rep as the go to guy for tabliod monster stories. Two years out of collage he was married, had a son on the way, and was in nagotiations for a perminate possition at one of the cities most popular tabliods. Things were going great, he got the job, a small house for his family, and a pretty good used car. A few years later he had his first "sighting". He was on assignment in Mexico doing a story on the legendary choupa cabla, a large vampiric rodent. When he actually found one, he refused to believe it. Tring his best to forgoet the incedent he went home and continued to work, every so offten he stumble on to a story that appeared to be real. Chandler kept it to himself though, locking the memories away, in fear that he'd be labled insane. After a while this took a toll on him, his writting started to become dark, and he became withdrawn, and began ignoring the family and friends. He even started drinking. Eventually things came to a head, his wife devorced him, he lost the custody battle for his son, and his best friend and editor put him on extended leave from the tabliod. Under the pretense of writting a book on english folklore, Chandler up and moved to Southhampton. The only place he could find in his price range was a small attic room in a house being rented by some collage students. It's hot, and there isn't a ton of room, but it's cheap. He's sence been trying despertly to get himself back together. Chandler has stopped drinking, and has been taking work as a tutor, as well as doing a little freelancing for english tabliods. One thing that hasn't changed is he's a gifted investigator and journalist.
