Character Name: Chai Series: Hi-Fi RUSH Timeline: End of post-game content, after SPECTRA gets unplugged Canon Resource Links:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hi-Fi_Rush
Personality: Chai is an extremely laid-back guy with larger than life ambitions of becoming a rockstar. He’s fond of puns, stupidly overconfident, and is…well, kind of stupid. Despite wanting to be a rockstar and a huge rock music aficionado, he has never picked up a guitar in his life, and certainly doesn’t know how to play it. If given the option between not doing something and doing something, Chai will almost always decide to simply sit back, relax, and not do it. Peppermint, one of his allies, had to leverage the fact that Chai did not know his way off Vandelay Island in order to have him help her find out more about SPECTRA, a top secret project that was revealed to be a malevolent AI.
Of course, after helping Peppermint take down SPECTRA and her evil brother, Kale, Chai’s taken on a greater sense of responsibility and is a tad more motivated than before. But even after defeating Kale, he whines and complains about needing to go back through Vandelay’s campus to hunt down remnants of SPECTRA. Better than nothing, though.
His impulsiveness often overrides reason and logic, and he tends to get carried away. While making his way through Vandelay Technologies and taking down the bosses one by one, he frequently charges ahead with his own ideas if left to his own devices, much to his allies’ chagrin. For example, in order to take down the head of R&D, Zanzo, he needed to make his way into the AI Labs to find information on a malevolent AI called SPECTRA. However, while waiting for Peppermint to report back to him on how to get into the labs, he found a nearby door labeled AR Labs and thought it would be the same thing. As a result, however, he ended up trapped by Zanzo and was forced to fight through waves of augmented reality enemies.
His lackadaisical attitude and general lack of intelligence tends to aggravate people. Chai is admittedly not great at de-escalating situations, and in fact tends to inadvertently provoke other people with his casual overconfidence. As commented upon by CNMN, his overconfidence seems to be a mechanism to hide some sort of deeper insecurity, though what exactly that insecurity is was never addressed in the game.
His impulsiveness and thick-headed nature isn’t all bad, though. No matter how many times he’s kicked down, physically and emotionally, Chai always gets back up. Besides, sometimes, a dumb plan is just what you need for a bad situation. In order to get past a full-security lockdown, Chai suggested shooting himself out of a cannon and into the chief financial executive’s office. Although all his allies expressed the sheer stupidity of the plan, they decided to go along with it anyway. The plan ended up working, much to Chai’s surprise–though, he did end up a few floors below his intended target.
Above all, Chai is extremely earnest and full of heart, even if he does love cheesy puns and one-liners. Although Chai initially thinks of himself as a loner, by the end of the game, he grows to love and respect the friends he gained along the way. When Kale is finally defeated and Peppermint congratulates Chai for defeating him, he corrects her and says “we did it”. His uplifting and indomitable spirit endears other people to him, and helps him be an effective leader–even if he is incredibly stupid.
