[edit] Story
[edit] Background
Chipp Zanuff, a former drug trafficker, was a youth who struggled to live life on the streets of America. Chipp often sold illegal substances to many other addicts and corrupt organizations like the Mafia, so Chipp had become an avid dealer. Chipp's job was not a safe or comforting one, and he soon gave in to the enticing (but mind altering) drugs that he sold for trade. Business had been going as usual, but it seemed a complication had put Chipp into a situation that lead to him fleeing from the Mafia. Chipp had become outnumbered and, it seemed death had come early for him, but as if from nowhere his pursuers were quickly dispatched, and in front of Chipp stood a man clearly different from the others. He revealed his name as Tsuyoshi, and his next words would change Chipp's outlook on both life and the sins he had committed. Tsuyoshi offered Chipp into his care, which he gratefully accepted. To clear the youth's mind, as well as start a life of honour and repentance, Tsuyoshi trained Chipp in the art of Ninjutsu basics, to which he quickly adapted, and they lived peacefully together until an assassin syndicate ordered Tsuyoshi's killing. Chipp, filled with rage, attempted to pursue the culprits responsible, entering the second sacred order tournament in order to get him a lead in his travels.
[edit] Guilty Gear X
Chipp enters the second order tournament to carry on his quest of vengeance. His ending, while non-canonical, is the only ending in the mainstream games to feature Tsuyoshi's face, and it is revealed he has a purple scar over his left eye, ninja attire, a large nose, and a mustache. Chipp believes that even though Justice was evil, she deserved a second chance, just as he did. He then leaves, spending all the time up until the discovery of Dizzy training in the wilderness.
[edit] Guilty Gear XX
Chipp starts off his quest once more only to be interrupted by Dizzy possessed by Necro who happens to have just fallen from the May Ship. After swiftly getting away he encounters other characters including Bridget, Ky Kiske, Faust and Eddie. The story splits from there, Chipp either encounters Venom who after his defeat (by Chipp of course) makes a deal with Chipp, if he becomes President he may use the guild to his needs, in the second ending he meets Slayer who taunts Chipp; Chipp vows to become stronger in order to defeat Slayer and in the final ending he gains knowledge of the Post-War Administration Bureau after defeating Robo-Ky and learns of his role in their plans. In other players story lines, he is often a brainwashed enemy and again Necro's first unfortunate target.
[edit] Guilty Gear Dust Strikers
In this game, Chipp is off trying to become Japanese and while he is doing that, he attempts to kill anybody that he meets that has any relation to the Assassins Guild, to avenge his master.
