Editing Chris Elman (section)

===Background===
Claimed that he triggered after Gold Morning.<ref>“Yeah,” he said, as if I’d said something very heavy, and he’d felt part of that weight.  “I feel like I’ve been trying to get a handle on things since I got my powers.”<br/><br/>“For a while now, then?  If I can ask?”<br/><br/>“Just under a year ago,” he said.  “I think, along with Chris, I’m the rookie here.”<br/><br/>Post-Gold Morning.  That helped put things in context.<br/><br/>Chris, too.  By process of elimination, he’d be the boy roughly Kenzie’s age. - [https://www.parahumans.net/2017/12/23 Excerpt] from [[Flare 2.5]]</ref>

In reality, his earliest memories were about fighting off [[Breed]] spawns and escaping decontamination, since he was created by [[Lab Rat]] as an emergency survival measure at the start of the Gold Morning. Though he did not fully [[shard|align]] himself to his progenitor until later - an uncomfortable process, forced on him by imperatives designed into his body, which he eventually escaped from midway through.<ref name="II10.y">[[Interlude 10.y II]]</ref>

By his own admission, he was once involved in involuntary manslaughter.<ref name="I4cII">Ashley shook her head.  She looked the way Victoria had gone.  “She hasn’t killed anyone before, if I had to guess.”<br/><br/>“Just Victoria and the kids, then.”<br/><br/>“Just Victoria and Kenzie,” Chris said.<br/><br/>Rain looked at Chris.  Chris shrugged.  “Accidental.” - [https://www.parahumans.net/2018/02/22/shade-interlude-4c/ Excerpt] from [[Interlude 4c II]]</ref>  This is most likely a reference to the couple that followed Chris into Lab Rat's lair, only to be killed by the security system.
