Summary
Happy Chaos is a playable character in -Guilty Gear Strive- and the main antagonist of the game's story mode. Originally known as The Original, he was a genius philosopher who discovered the Backyard and developed the Theory of Magical Science during the late 20th century. He is responsible for most of the events occurring in the story of Guilty Gear, directly or otherwise. After creating the Universal Will, a supercomputer-like entity designed to find the means to bring peace to humanity, he found a young woman created by the Backyard in response to mankind's desire to survive during the Crusades. In order to prevent her raw power from endangering the Backyard and physical universe, he took half of her power and human desire, with what remained becoming I-No. The Universal Will then went rogue and betrayed the Original by fusing I-no's power with him, destroying his sanity and leaving him "pure" and uninterested in concepts such as morality. Since then, Chaos has been wandering the world, causing trouble in order to entertain himself and make sure that humanity never becomes boring.

Notable Attacks/Techniques:

The portals will always manage to surround the opponent, no matter the position they are relative to Chaos. His revolvers somehow always have full clip afterwards despite Chaos never reloading in the timeframe.
