Chick Poacher

Chick Poacher is a main protagonist in the Billy Hatcher franchise as well as the youngest of the group of his friends. He shows no form of cowardice when it comes to anything that even remotely looks dangerous, even though he should be somewhat concerned.

Appearance abilities and personality:
"C'mon, I'm ready. Let's go!"

-Chick impatiently telling his friends to hurry up

Chick is a young boy that looks roughly around five or six years old, thus making him the youngest of his friends. He has auburn hair and bright violet eyes. Strangely enough, Chick is the only human character who doesn't have a nose. (Whether or not this was a mistake is a mystery.) His casual attire mostly consists of a long sleeved yellow shirt complete with a red tie bright yellow shorts plain white crew socks and red sneakers. In Morning land he, like his friends, gains a rooster suit of his own which consists of yellow pants with matching boots yellow mitt like gloves a pale yellow shirt with a red neckerchief and a pale yellow helmet with dark yellow circles on the sides and red chicken combs protruding from the back and teal goggles just in front of them.

Without his suit, Chick is useless. With his suit on, he becomes almost as powerful as Billy, Rolly and Bantam. He also gains the same powers as his friends and all the power of Morning land.

According to Chick's official bio, he has a misaired place of superiority despite his small size and stature. He also has a tendency to act before thinking, which makes his friends a little nervous from time to time. Chick also shows an impatient side, shown once when he and his friends were late to meet up with Oma-Oma, though this might've been because he was bored. Dark Raven told him that his actions will eventually get him killed, which annoys him to no end.

History:
Early life

Chick was born to a small Japanese family in Tucson, Arizona. When he was a few months old, his father got a promotion and his new job meant they had to move to Colorado springs. When they got there, the other three families welcomed them with open arms. Chick, while too young to speak, began to have full conversations with Bantam, Billy and Rolly. Bantam then briefly brought up the idea of starting a club, which Billy and Rolly agreed to without hesitation and Chick showing enthusiasm.

Being a hero

One day, Chick, Bantam and Rolly waited for Billy who overslept that morning. Chick briefly complained about Billy being late and when Billy finally showed up, Chick was the first to grab onto Billy's arm, preventing him from running. He let go of Billy's arm when he heard the weak chirping from a chick. After Billy fended the two crows off with a stick, he and the others were transported to different regions of Morning land. Chick woke up when he felt extremely hot to the point of sweating. Chick also saw that it was night time and began to wonder what had happened to him in the past few hours. Chick finally saw that he was near a volcano and his jaw dropped in stunned silence when he saw a chick talking to him. Menie-Funie then began to speak to him about the crows and their plans. Chick briefly began to doubt that he was a hero, until the god showed him all of the brave deeds he did in the past. Chick finally agreed to help and followed Menie-Funie's light to his rooster suit and found himself wearing it. Just at that moment, Dark Corvo appeared and checked the region to make sure he hadn't missed anything. Corvo then saw Chick and then asked himself how a human so small be any sort of hero. Chick then saw Corvo and demanded him to stop what he was doing, with Corvo staring at Chick with a bored blank expression. After a moment of silence Corvo finally stated that if Chick was his child, he would punish him, to which Chick piped up that if he was Corvo's child he would punish himself. Corvo then stated that his army would be ready to conquer everything. Chick then tried to punch Corvo, only for the sorcerer to grab him by the wrist, still bearing his bored expression. As soon as one of Corvo's clones tied up Chick, the real Corvo heard of a last human in the Forest village, which he annoyingly said that he will kill the human instead of merely capturing him. Chick was eventually rescued by Billy and began to help out with rescuing the elders and defeat the remaining crow generals. Chick and everyone else finally came face to face with Corvo (Chick still wanted revenge on Corvo for tying him up, but was held back by Bantam). Chick, Rolly and Bantam watched as Billy declined Corvo's offer a second time, called him a complete and total psychopath and listened to Corvo as he bitterly said that there are fates 'far much worse than death' and saw that Corvo used his telekinetic powers to lift Rolly into the air. Chick, Rolly and Bantam watched as Billy and Corvo battled each other to see who would claim Morning land. Chick began to root for Billy after he defeated Corvo and activated the rainbow gate, but immediately stopped when the four heard Dark Raven's voice saying that if they wished to battle him they can come to his castle. The friends then realized that he was at the Giant palace trying to hatch the giant egg and rushed there to defeat him once and for all. They finally reached the center of the giant palace and found Dark Raven trying to hatch the giant egg and and began to remark just how amazing how a child would cause him so much trouble. Billy then attempted to punch Raven in the face, but was blasted away by Raven's energy attack. Chick, Bantam and Rolly then saw that Raven created a barrier so that he would see how powerful Billy was on his own. Chick began to cheer as Billy defeated Raven, but began to feel terrified when the giant egg hatched and Raven transformed into a large demonic raven dubbed Ultimate Raven. Chick then began to feel more terrified after Raven stripped Billy's rooster suit off, much to Raven's self-surprise. After Billy defeated Raven, Chick and his friends were sent back to the human world safe and sound, but not before Raven vowed revenge on Billy and his kind.

Return to Morning land

Chick eventually went back to being a normal child, attending school with his friends and going to the store with his mother. He, like his friends, attempted to tell his parents about Morning land to no avail. He met up with his friends in the forest and asked them if they had any luck. After Billy fell down a hill, Chick and the others went down to help him out and became bewildered after they discovered they were in Morning land again. He also discovered that their parents followed them to Morning land and snuck behind Bantam and hoped that they weren't mad. After learning from a chick that her brother went into the forbidden woods, Billy immediately and excitedly accepted the task and all four found themselves wearing their rooster suits again. Chick then stayed behind and told his parents everything. The three were stunned after Billy befriended a crow child who had previously lost his memory, but overcame it after he, Rolly and Bantam were tasked with finding the remaining fragments of a powerful tablet that can reveal the location of the shards of the giant egg. Chick went to a temple at Dino mountain and came face to face with the golem protecting the fragment. After a brief fight, Chick was able to defeat the golem and helped it back on its feet. The golem explained that since Chick looked after others instead of himself, he was worthy of having the fragment. Before Chick could take it, Skarlett appeared in an attempt to steal it from the two. The golem helped Chick escape with the fragment in hand as it sacrificed itself to protect the young human, much to Skarlett's fury. The three returned with the remaining fragments and put them together to reveal an orange light that lead to a region of Morning land they never saw before. Skarlett patiently waited for the four and Chick heard her berate her younger brother Kurra before turning her attention to Billy. As he listened to Skarlett's plan to use Billy's newfound Friendship with Kurra to her advantage, he slowly backed away as Billy lost his temper and told her that Kurra can be friends with whoever he decides. Chick watched from a safe distance as Billy defeated Skarlett for a second time and went back to the Forest village with his friends to tell Oma-Oma everything. During a private conversation between Oma-Oma, Billy and Kurra, Chick noticed a small fissure and saw Skarlett coming out of it. He tried to stop her from running off with Rolly along side Bantam, only to be kicked aside for getting in her way. Before passing out, Chick told Billy and Kurra where Skarlett was taking Rolly and was carried to Oma-Oma's hut so he could heal from his injuries. Chick woke up and noticed that Billy was indeed going to the birth place of the giant egg and went there so he could help out. He and Bantam made it just as Billy defeated Skarlett for the third and final time and saw Dark Corvo attacking out of nowhere (Chick still wanted revenge on him, but was once again restrained by Bantam.) Chick began to cheer after Billy defeated Corvo, but began to tremble when Skarlett finished her resurrection spell and released the original crow army into Morning land. Dark Raven himself observed the humans one by one and quickly noticed Billy as the 'human that got away.' and approached the four. After Chick heard Billy say that he would challenge Raven to a fair fight, Chick wished him luck at defeating Dark Raven. Chick was able to grab Billy after he and Raven went through the same portal together and shook in terror as he saw Ultimate Raven once again. While Kurra stayed behind to create a diversion, Chick and Rolly helped Billy out of the temple with Bantam leading the way, but not before Chick apologized to Kurra for doubting him. Chick saw Billy waking up and told his friends, family and his friend's families and they all rushed over to see if he was okay. Chick then saw Kurra coming out of the temple and hugged him because he was happy to see that he was okay. The happy moment was cut short however when everyone saw that Raven had survived his ordeal and told everyone his desire to blot out the sun forever. Chick saw that Billy had defeated Dark Raven and saw the crow king stated that as long as the power of the giant egg is within his grasp, he and the crow army will never be destroyed. Chick was then told by Billy after they returned to the human world that they can return to Morning land whenever they want to. Chick asked why no one told him and Bantam replied that everyone knew that he wouldn't keep a secret (Menie-Funie wanted to tell Billy alone.) Chick found it as a good idea that no one told him and relaxed on the couch.

Television series 

Chick returns in the cartoon series as one of the major protagonists helping Morning land find shards of the giant egg and defeat Dark Raven's forces.

Relationships:
Billy Hatcher

Billy and Chick are shown to be great friends and it clearly shows from time to time. Billy often gives some of Bantam's advice to Chick to cheer him up and has been brought to stunned silence when he was punished for cheating on a school exam. Although Chick has shown annoyance that Dark Raven always compares him to Billy, saying that he will never be as powerful as the latter, Chick always stays by Billy's side through thick and thin.

Bantam Scrambled

Chick views Bantam as an older brother figure and listens to everything he says. Like Dark Raven, Bantam does tell Chick that he is not as strong as Billy, but unlike Raven he tells Chick this in a more calm gentle way, which Chick doesn't find any more annoying than how Raven puts it. Bantam has shown concern for Chick and is often the one who restrains him, but that doesn't stop him from convincing to tell himself that he'll get an enemy later.

Rolly Roll

"Get up lazy bones! The sun is shining and adventure is awaiting us!"

-Chick telling Rolly to wake up

Since Rolly is the only girl in the group, Chick often doesn't spend as much time with her as he does with Billy or Bantam. When the two do spend time together, It usually involves one or both of them getting injured in some sort of accident or ending in Rolly being humiliated. An example being when she thought Chick was giving her the answers to a school exam when in reality he just wrote down his name autograph style, causing Rolly to disrupt the test by screaming 'Does it look like I care about your stupid autograph!?' to her dismay. She does care for Chick however and wants the best for him.

Kurra

Chick wasn't very happy about having Kurra in the team when they first met. When Chick went to get the fragment from the temple at Dino mountain, all he could think about was Kurra defeating Billy and plunging Morning land into darkness. Chick did eventually learn from his mistake however and before he and Rolly left to take Billy somewhere safe, he apologized to Kurra for doubting him. Since then, Kurra and Chick have developed a 'friendly rivalry' between each other, but not as strong as Billy's rivalry with Kurra.

Dark Corvo

Chick and Corvo have shown to have a strong hatred towards each other as Chick wanted revenge on Corvo for tying him up. Chick and Corvo's rivalry continued as the television series rolled on, with Corvo viewing Chick as an annoying nuisance. Chick does defeat Corvo from time to time, but the latter is often saved from the former by Dark Raven before anything else goes awry, much to Chick's anger.

Dark Raven

Chick does fear Dark Raven and Raven can easily manipulate Chick's mind to have hallucinations. Chick however can let go of his fear long enough to have a battle between them. Raven often wins the majority of the fights thanks to Chick's impatient nature and often cryptically tells Chick that he will never be as powerful of a warrior like Billy, to Chick's annoyance.

Era Gecko

Chick doesn't have a strong rivalry with Era Gecko as Bantam does and he doesn't get under his skin the same way Corvo does. Era Gecko does threaten to have Chick for a mid-morning snack and often thinks about turning Chick into his prey. Usually after Bantam saves Chick from Era Gecko, Chick would call him dragon breath and make sure he doesn't follow him to his friends, angering the saurock prince further.

The Poachers

Chick's family is mostly of Japanese descent so whenever he wants a private conversation with either his mother or father, he'll begin talking in Japanese with them. He mostly keeps family matters to himself, but does tell his friends about issues about other relatives like his twin brother who lives with his aunt. His parents love him the same way he loves them and they often support Chick at what he does.

Skarlett

Chick's relationship with Skarlett is basically a big question mark. She does view Chick as an obstacle, yet for some reason never battles him in person. The only time they did interact was when Skarlett kicked both him and Bantam aside to get to the ancient temple, making fun of his haircut at the same time. Either way they look at each other, the two are different sides for different reasons.

The Morning landers

Chick is often praised along side his friends as one of the saviors of Morning land and enjoys every minute of it. He is often bewildered at how much attention the Morning landers give that he often doesn't know how to react to it, even when they're building statues of him and his friends. He does put the safety of Morning land above his own and does get hurt protecting Morning land and its denizens.
