- To Jay in Kountdown's beta version

Cheyne Ali Anderson, or simply Cheyne, is a student and superhero who resides in the city of Kroy. He's a wielder of a set of the Xonerate Gauntlets and is one of The Changers' founding members.

Appearance
Cheyne is a relatively tall and skinny teenager of Afro-Carribean descent, though is muscly toned. He often wears a black tank top with a black sleeveless hoodie as overwear, tailor made to have a blue C-shaped symbol sewn over his left side. He wears skinny dark-turquoise jeans, with his left hem cut and shortened. He sports black sneakers with blue straps over the top and sides. His hair is styled into a triangular shape pointing forward, complete with a blue dyed streak on his left side. He bears the Xonerate Gauntlets on both of his wrists.

In a filler comic, Cheyne wears a large-hoodied orange sweater with a shiny deep blue collar and cap.

In Kountdown, Part 1 (BETA), he wears a light turquoise tank top.

Personality
Cheyne is cautionary and passive compared to his teammates. He's also been depicted as very fearful, doubtful and superstitious, and acts as buffer for the rest of the team's extroverted and headstrong attitudes. Despite his more subdued nature, he still puts his foot forward and is an important instrument in the CXD's mission to protect Kroy.

He can get a little flustered around those he has an attraction to, as displayed in Kountdown Aftermath (BETA). In the same chapter, he's seen as acting judgmental towards those who don't display traditional social etiquette (notably Ivy).

He's a self-proclaimed insomniac, exclaiming that he should use his bed much more often.

He's also very punctual, as shown when he arrives to Pop's Corner on time to fight the Kounts despite having woken up minutes earlier.

His offer to help Pop after the destruction of his store shows he's considerate, perhaps out of obligation.

Powers, Skills & Abilities
Cheyne wields a set of Xonerate Gauntlets, powerful devices from the Planet X that give their bearers the ability to manipulate the states of matter. Cheyne's set allows him to control liquid, more specially water.


 * His most notable move is the Loch Dagger, a shuriken created from pressurized water that's dense enough to cut through steel.
 * Xonerate Resonance: He can create an aura of light around him by use of Xonerate energy.
 * Geyser Burst: Shoots water up from the ground extremely rapidly, knocking opponents back. It can be used as a wall when held for longer.

Trivia

 * The character of Cheyne is based on series creator NoxiMation, but is not a direct copy. Most aspects of the character are series-original, but Noxi sees him as a sort of "self-evaluation", using his character to break down his own insecurities while also relating them to the context of the narrative.
 * Blue is Cheyne's favorite color. Doesn't take Sherlock to figure that out.
 * Cheyne draws inspiration from characters like Static Shock, Terry McGuinness, Anakin Skywalker, Son Gohan, Miles Morales and Tsubasa Otori.
 * He's crossed over into other universes, such as the Webtoon Canvas comics Dragon Blade and Aura of Deities. Those series' canonicity to The Changers are yet to be confirmed.
