- To pay the rent at the end of each month

Background
Like so many other children of the streets John Chance has no idea who his real parents are, or maybe were, and he doesn't care. Growing up he soon realised that he had a bit of a talent for getting other people to do things for him and for making sure that feathers weren't ruffled in the process.
He's spent his life relying on himself alone and regardless of how often he get's beaten down some he always manages to survive. Over the years he's fostered his talent into a marketable skill and offers his services not only as a negotiator to those who need one but also a mediator when 2 sides are unable to do so themselves. This has put him in some tricky situations and he has learnt more about the dark sides of Seattle than he ever wanted, or needed, to.
Of course the problem with being a mediator is that so often someone still feels hard done by at the end and John has often had to deal with the unfortunate fallout of such circumstances so whilst he would never chose it as a solution he is more than comfortable using and applying violence when it becomes necessary. His proficiency with it often surprising those who have come after him or ended up on the wrong side of him.
What all of this has taught him is that stabbing people in the back is never a good idea as life's hard enough as it is without making it worse for yourself.
John's a survivor and whilst he's never risen high he hopes to never fall so low he can't somehow crawl back out from under.
