Character Overview:

Name: Chad
Appearance: Rugged yet charismatic. Dark or medium-length hair, piercing eyes that can shift between warmth and intensity. He carries himself with confidence, but beneath the surface, there’s a subtle nervous energy. His presence can be both charming and unsettling.
Personality: Intelligent, persuasive, and outwardly confident, but deeply flawed. He is a man who thrives on control—both in his professional and personal life. While he once loved Alaina, his selfish nature led him to betray her, convinced he could keep his secrets buried. He avoids confrontation and justifies his actions, believing that as long as he keeps moving forward, the past can’t catch up to him. However, when faced with the consequences of his betrayal, his composed façade begins to crack.

**Backstory:**
Once deeply in love with Alaina, he built a life that appeared perfect from the outside. But as time passed, his commitment wavered. He engaged in an a”air, convincing himself it was a temporary escape rather than a true betrayal. When Alaina found out, he denied everything, hoping that lies would protect him from the fallout. He underestimated her emotional depth, failing to see the toll his actions had on her.
After her tragic death, his guilt consumed him. When a mysterious company o”ered him the chance to bring her back, he saw it as redemption—a way to erase his mistakes. But as their reunion unfolds, he begins to realize that the past cannot be rewritten, and Alaina’s return is not what he expected.

**Key Motivations:**
Redemption vs. Self-Preservation: He wants to believe he can make things right, but deep down, his decisions are driven by fear—fear of being exposed, fear of losing control, and fear of facing the truth.
Guilt and Denial: He carries the weight of Alaina’s death but refuses to fully accept responsibility. His need to suppress guilt leads him to make reckless choices.
Survival Instinct: When confronted with the unsettling truth about Alaina’s clone, his survival instincts kick in. He becomes desperate, trying to maintain power over a situation that is slipping from his grasp.
**Defining Traits:**

Charming but Deceptive – He has a natural ability to manipulate situations and people to suit his needs.
Calculative – He is always thinking ahead, trying to stay in control of every scenario.
Emotionally Repressed – He struggles to confront his emotions, preferring to bury his mistakes rather than deal with them.
Flawed but Relatable – While his actions are selfish, there is a human vulnerability in him—he’s a man who made mistakes but didn’t know how to fix them.
