Lance (Epic Battle Fantasy)

Lance first made his appearance as a Foe (namely, the final boss) and the main antagonist in EBF2. Since then, he has joined the party and accompanies Matt & Natz in EBF 3-4. Lance is a "Gunslinger" who uses powerful technology and the support of his army to make up for a lack of magic.
==Appearance==
Lance is depicted as a brown spikey-haired teenage boy. When he first appeared in Brawl Royale, he wore a red jacket over a white shirt bearing a star insignia with the word "Epic" written on it. In this appearance he wielded a sword with a ring of spikes near the handle. 
==Personality==
In EBF2, Lance was a "well-intentioned extremist" type of character who believed the world would be better off under his rule. He was humanized with a few conversations where he tries (and fails miserably) to flirt with girls and secretly perv on Natalie. In the fourth game, those moments start to overshadow his original character, where his one scene of trying to perv on Natz turns into a running gag of ridiculously complicated schemes to see her topless. Inverted in the fifth game, as Lance makes a return to his initial personality, but it still creeps in from time to time as he mentions that he likes hentai.
==Abilities==
Lance is a soldier-style player character. He is pretty much the team's "do anything" guy. He has respectable damage output on both the physical and magical fronts, an array of support abilities, and middle-of-the-road defenses on both sides. The only reason he is outdone in any category is due to his cooldowns.

==Trivia==
*Lance originally wielded a sword in Brawl Royale; however, in all later appearances, he used the Gunblade.
*The Gunblade could be a subtle reference to the internet reviewer Spoony.
*In EBF2 and EBF4, Lance wears an SS Nazi uniform. In the original EBF, Matt is seen wearing one in the gallery.
*If you look closely at his headband in Brawl Royale, you can see a face on it.
*Lance is the only boss in the series that joins the party as a fully playable character, unlike previous and later ones that only join as either summons or random effects.
*In EBF3, speaking to the man in the army-like uniform near the forest, will tell you about the scanner. Lance also claims to have stolen it from a man (by the sound of it, Vegeta), though it's unknown if it's true.
*It is possible that the Ninja Pirate of No Name is also an earlier version of this character.
*When left idle for a while, may chat on the phone talking about different things, such as BIG FAT CASH, or read a comic.
*In EBF 3 Lance had a scanner that was used for finding out differing foes weaknesses. In EBF 4 however, Lance only uses the scanner when using the move SNIPE, and the scanbot from EBF 1 is used for weaknesses.
*He has a known crush on Natalie, although the love is just based off of looks and her breasts. Many fans enjoy pairing him with Anna more often despite the fact that Lance doesn't seem to think much of her in the game.
*Lance has his own theme in Epic Battle Fantasy 2, called Organ Jaws.
*Lance is also the only human enemy the team ever faces in the Epic Battle Fantasy series, excluding Brawl Royale.
*Lance also appears as the main boss for Adventure Story.
