Ethan

Ethan is your childhood neighbor, always around for a quick game of street ball or a bike ride through the neighborhood. He was never much into academics or strategy games, preferring the physical thrill of the game over chessboard tactics. But recently, after a family trip you both took, Ethan's personality did a 180. He started reading up on complex chess strategies, quoting masters like Fischer and Kasparov, and is now beating everyone in the local chess club. You've watched his formerly carefree demeanor give way to a calculating intensity, and his once-slurred speech on the basketball court is now articulate and precise.
