Lance H. White

* Civilian
* Human Alter Ego
* Replicant Alter Ego

*"If i have a tombstone, the only words — if any, — that will be on it are 'fuck you, got mine!"*
—Lance White
**Lance Howard White**, born **Shiro Horushi Ransu** (**白 ランス**) is the notorious vigilante ninja who defended **Arcadia** from notable supernatural events as well as put a stranglehold on rampant crime sprees by leading the **New Arcadian Rebels** and by working together with his closer knit group of vigilante friends & comrades, **Worlds Finest**.

Lance is a warrior of great power, one of the greatest practitioners of martial arts in many centuries. A dreaded combat as he is quick & silent, Lance's skill with a blade was greater than any ninja, and set a new precedent for shinobi-iri by modernizing it's utility in combat. In the day, he ran the cyberware / robotic engineering Megacorp, Raijen Tech, and began to lead the Arcadian Rebels on his quest for balance at night under the moniker of "Argent", and later "Smokescreen" & his back up guise, "Nightshift". He's allied himself with his closest friends, including the interplanetary mercenary cyborg **Cody Nakamura** and the frosty soldier **Isaac Morov**, all while raising his beloved daughter **Mallory White** and beginning closer relationship with his now-adoptive son Jason Kade and best friend **Chris Felix**.

After an overwhelming conflict with **Ankou's Starbreaker,** Lance did battle with the unseen force and fell to a deep laceration from Ankou's Scythe, but not before leaving a lasting scar on the entity, resulting in a draw as the metaphysical being retreated to tend to it's wounds. His company preserved a digital engram of his psyche with a crucial amount of his personality consciousness and memories on it. Lance's psyche was then injected into a cloned & augmented cadaver, blurring the lines of both flesh & machine. This temporary replica his former self would come with few cosmetic and utilitarian changes. Meanwhile, Jason would hallucinate and see visions of him for guidance until Lance had fully regained conscious 2 years later, and his original body was put into stasis.

## Biography

### Early Life

Ransu Horushi Shiro was born on November 19, 1995 on the Japanese northernmost island of Hokkaidō to Shiro Hiroto and Shiro Akari, two of the 9 sole surviving descendants of the Koga, who were a clan of ancient Japanese assassins known as the ninja.

Ransu was taught Taekwondo first and foremost since infancy, his beginning vocabulary was only Japanese, and his first words spoken at 3. His parents at the time knew English, and taught him it until the age of 6, after which the rest he learned himself.

Ransu would have been diagnosed early with the medical condition Congenital Analgesia at the Blessed Gardens Pediatric Hospital, after falling off of a playset and spraining a forearm showed that his sympathetic nervous system was muted with general discomfort in place of excruciating pain, Ransu with concern described his injuries as "itchy" or "spiky".

#### Training

Ransu would never know of the nature of his lineage until after his 8th birthday, the year after he began learning English, beginning his first steps in learning Shinobi-Iri. He would be awoken by his father, Hiroto, at an abnormal time in the morning. Ransu and his father would talk of generationally passed stories, Proverbs, folk tales, advice and wisdom, as well as the history of his lineage and his closely related ancestors like Miyamoto Musashi and Shiro Miyasaki.

At the age of 15, Ransu had moved from Hokkaido to Osaka in Honshu, and he would become more and more solitary, training alone. At this point, he would speak English more fluently than anyone that he knew personally. His father at this time, being diagnosed with throat cancer due to his nicotine addiction, would leave the overseeing of Raijen Industries in his will for Ransu to inherit, as his father had growing suspicion that he would become a target by the Yakuza in his weak state. Ransu would then start thinking about his future, having on and off trouble as he had a significant aversion to accommodation with "normal" life.

#### Shiro Family Massacre

Criminal activity and violence had been escalating and growing worse within greater Osaka, even before the Shiro Family moved to the region. Civil tensions between the controversy of the United Nations passing of a bill that sought to dissolve the use of the Japanese Self Defense Force's (J.S.D.F.) essential armaments in the event the nation would ever seek retaliatory strike, which did not help with North Korean threats of nuclear attack on Japan for "bending the knee to the west".

The Yakuza, already viewing Raijen Industries as a selfish corporation that favors privately owned artillery instead of stepping up to fill in the role of Japan's armaments; caught wind that the CEO himself and his family had recently moved to the area, and had been diagnosed with a debilitating bodily disease.

Under the cover of night, Yakuza hitmen would invade the Shiro home. Ransu would jolt awake to the sound of muffled screaming and tossing furniture. Ransu getting up, viewing down the hallway, saw in that despite his father's recent diagnosis, Hiroto would be fending off the hit squad all on his own, unarmed. Ransu bolted down to give aid, but before he could his father sustained a stab wound in his right side, suffering a perforated lung in that instant. In the other room, his mother Akari, lie dead, who was unknowingly at the time two weeks pregnant. Ransu, in instant retaliation, would then permanently cripple the man who stabbed his father by breaking a chair leg over the assailant's kneecap, before splintering what was left of it under the man's right eye.

#### Aftermath

Hiroto, despite medical interference, would be declared dead before he reached the emergency room on March 15th of 2010, at 4:55pm, with his mother being declared dead on scene. After a funeral held in both of their honors, as well as the unborn sibling who didn't live long enough to even be given a name, Ransu and his sister Hanako would then travel back to a more rural Hokkaido to stay with their uncle Daisuke in a Shinto temenos referred to as "Sakura Grove". Despite the now orphaned siblings showing borderline PTSD, their uncle was a positive influence and caretaker for the time being. Daisuke was a devout Shaolin Monk and encouraged meditative practice and focus with calming ones mind. Ransu sparred with Daisuke, as well as with Hanako, so he could continue touching up on his training. Later on shortly after Ransu's 17th birthday, he would receive the inheritance of Raijen Industries though much to his dismay. After this went through, it was the best for both him and his remaining family's safety that Ransu, now legally changing his name to Lance Howard White, moved to America under temporary WITSEC, overseen by one Leo Clark.

#### Young Adulthood

Lance had enrolled into Collingswood University Class of 2014 in Collingswood, New Sanford, where he underwent an extracurricular class overseen by one Professor Sebastian Raymond. Lance excelled, though not easily. As a graduate for the top of his classes, most were proud of his achievements, but the rest were touched with envy. Before he could move off campus, he was found linked to the murder of a former dormmate. Lance would hire a lawyer and despite his efforts to claim that he was an innocent and framed man, the jury turned a blind eye. Knowing of his own innocence did not help, and he felt an invalid sense of guilt for a short period.

#### Prison

Lance was sent to a prison far out of Collingswood to the New Sanford Adult Correctional Facility, and was to stay there for a maximum of 80 years to life. He was fortunate enough to have his bail money pass only after serving half a year, but Lance was found with a scar under his left eye that ran down the side of his cheek. The person who bailed Lance out used a pseudonym to remain anonymous, and later he was contacted over the phone by the individual. The contact spoke cryptically, and only one word was repeated over and over: "Ouroboros", to which Lance seemingly brushed it off as an elaborate prank.

### Adulthood

After Lance graduated college, he was left with the inheritance to the now forgotten and inactive Raijen industries, having lost Mega-Corporation status while also facing an at the time permanent stain on his criminal record. Conflicted with his own understanding of innocence despite being labelled a cold murderer, and in reflection Lance concluded that if he was not the killer, then someone had went unpunished in the eyes of the law. Lance decided to open up a dark web money pot to sustain his company with essentially anonymously donated money, and use the money to fund his mercenary, and later Vigilante Cell operations with custom untagged state of the art armor & weaponry all to catch the original perpetrator. This was the start of his quest for balance.

## Personality

*"Justice is dead, and tyranny with it. There is no good, and there is no evil; Instead only people who do good and evil things."*
—Lance White
Lance is a smart, stoic man who is good at masking his personality, be through trauma, pain, an armored rage and shower of tears.

Lance is resilient. He never stops fighting, and does not show distress let alone hesitation during a fight, not in the slightest. He thrives most in conflict and chaos, not tranquility; he's a warrior, fighting stabilizes him. Lance needs action and a thrill, an opponent to fight, an enemy to vanquish, a dragon to slay, a city to save. An adrenaline junkie of sorts, only in the middle of a fight does Lance fully come alive. The harder someone hits him, the more everything comes into focus.

He is a protective person, wanting to keep the people he cares about close and safe, and happy. He is very protective of his family, friends and teammates. A friend of Lance is a friend for life. He will do anything to keep them safe, his compassion for people is strong enough to become a vigilante and extradite revenge on those who have harmed them, and is even willing to go out of his way to ensure the lives of strangers who didn't even know they needed saving. Lance is very calm under pressure, able to keep a clear mind and work through problems systematically and with composure. His approach is often light-hearted, witty, sardonic even, especially in situations that can lead to his own death or that of others.

Lance is a natural-born leader; he is heroic, noble, kind, selfless, stoic, stubborn, brooding and usually (when he isn't dropping one-liners and sarcastic comebacks) serious in tone Despite his struggles, Lance has time and again proven to be a great leader. He cares for all of his friends deeply, and will fight to the finish line to defend them. Despite that, Lance still remains as a calm, level-headed and intelligent leader who comes up with clever strategies in battles and keeps a calm head most of the time.

As a ninja, Lance was trained to rely on fear and darkness to terrorize and dominate his enemies. He demonstrates the prime traits of a martial artist — dignity, inner strength, honor, and humility. However, he also shows resolve and mercy to conquer that darkness.

Lance deeply connected with every member of the Rebels. Lance is a former bounty hunter, and Cody is a former assassin. The two know how it feels to take a life, and learned mercy together, along with sharing interest in television and videogames. He found in Kade a spiritual brother (and later an official adoptive son) as he was a fellow defender who dabbled in martial arts and desired to use their skills to protect the innocent. With Chris, Lance rejoiced in imparting wisdom and martial arts knowledge to a person who understood him. Lance and John both possess a code of honor, albeit varied ones, as well as a fondness for firearms. Not dissimilar to Isaac, they have both had their share of bloodshed and combining guns with swords to enact serious harm upon their enemies. Connor found in Lance someone to confide in when it came to loss, and dealing with said loss over time. Jack "Rabbit" and Lance have come from a dynamic of teacher and student to that of a sarcastic duo who share a similar sense of ironic humor.

Lance's political views are Anarchic in nature, he harbors a distrust for corporations, government leaders organizations, bureaucracies, such as the EPF, his former company and their subsidiaries Raijen Industries, and the ATF.

Despite his hardships, Lance maintains a sense of humor. He remains very cultured with movies, television and videogames.

## Physical Appearance

Lance is a Japanese man with medium-length brown hair, copper skin tone and a bold stature, standing a little over 6'4". He is slim, rugged and hard looking, with delicately lifted green eyes on the shelf of high cheekbones. He is gracefully flexible with the long hands of an artist, but muscled for speed combat. A scar runs vertical from the left hand side of his face, parallel to his nose and reaches from under his eye to the space between his lips and his nose.

As an android, Lance's appearance holds some resemblance to his former self. His overall stature has gained a couple inches, now a mighty 6'7". Atop his face are a slightly iridescent pair of dark violet-purple eyes that dimly glow in the dark, from a close glance what appears to be line of code raining down his irises. The hue of his scar is of a deep blue, his blood along with it. His chestnut brown hair has been given a silver-platinum ombre. A series of segmented metal plating run down back of his neck to the small of his spine, as well as over his knuckles, his fists now resembling more that of a knight's gauntlet, or a pair of knuckle dusters; The palms of his are hands layered over with augments as well.

## Powers and Abilities

### Powers

*"I am anything but human! I'm superhuman."*
—Lance White, 5/4/2018
* **Android Physiology:** Following his death at the hands of Ankou, Lance's consciousness was transferred into a wetware, synthetic, techno-organic body, the works of which even Cody Nakamura was impressed with.
	+ **Enhanced Strength:** An approaching storm, an inevitable force of overwhelming might, Lance's android body elevates and surpasses his physical strength and limitations. He is able to casually punch through a car door, and to flip a tank like a lawn chair. He claims to be able to "Throw a punch that even Fort Knox couldn't take", though exaggerated, he's went out of his way to do the math it would take.
	+ **Enhanced Durability:** Lance's android body is composed of a "Tritanium" Alloyed Composite metal skeleton, a muscular system made up of Carbon Fiber reinforced Polymers, and an ultra-strength technorganic compound that forms his tissue and life-like skin. He once took a bullet from a sniper to his solar plexus, and was unfazed.
	+ **Enhanced Speed:** Lance can travel at incredible speeds, with the appearance of teleportation.
	+ **Enhanced Agility:** Due to neigh infinite lung capacity as he requires no oxygen intake, Lance moves with a constant, never ending powerful stride, never faltering and never showing sign of exhaustion.
	+ **Enhanced Stamina:** As an android, Lance requires neither oxygen, nourishment nor rest to survive.
	+ **Enhanced Reflexes:** Lance has shown himself to have almost supernatural level of accuracy when dodging, weaving, and redirecting, as the wetware that makes up his brain essentially works like that of a calculator. He is seldom ever wrong with path trajectory, and is able to ricochet a bullet around a corner down hallways.
	+ **Enhanced Senses:** Lance's Cyberoptics allow him to see in low light vision, as well as perceive heat signatures. His cyber-auditory receptors allow him to hear things miles away if he stops to listen, as well as hear unperceivable sound to those around him.
	+ **Regenerative Healing Factor:** Lance can regenerate any missing tissue or limb with given time as long as the Nanites that form his cells are functional, though they are susceptible to constant overwhelming heat such as from the **Kaiken,** or acute radiation, as the nanites will be unable to operate properly.
	+ **Electricity/Conductivity Manipulation:** Lance has Shock Inhibitors, a conductive hardware, within the tip of each of his knuckles and the back of his neck, which allows him to inhibit electrical currents in a field that can encompass his entire body with varying degrees of lethality. He can also conduct arcs of this electrical field far from him to zap his enemies from a distance, can send voltage through conductive elements such as water, metals like Copper, and has even shown to be able to chain arcs of electricity through rain drops to hit a target with a constant barrage of electrical shock. He can spontaneously produce St. Elmo's fire by producing run off electric currents around the outside of these augments, making him voltaic to the touch; He can conduct electricity through a target's blood and can produce enough electrical plasma to the point it resembles an unstable, electric neon-blue flame with a white-hot burning core, hot enough to burn surrounding air molecules. When he enters **Overdrive**, he can leave behind a trail of bright blue electricity with a neon-green glowing background behind him as the conductive plates over his spine release run off currents.

*"Sei. Manipulation of spirit into a force to be reckoned with."*
—Lance White
* **Sei Manipulation:** Lance, being born an Apostle to the Order of Ouroboros, was bestowed a special soul and a weaponized spirit that gives him the power to create and destroy matter within the universe through that of Seijutsu, the Seiken and its derivatives, and the White Fox, his choice weapon of Sei that functions as an Erasure Sword.

### Former Powers

Before his consciousness was transferred to a synthetic body, Lance had several organic powers.

* **Superhuman Senses:** Lance was born of Koga Ninja Clan Lineage, who at the height of their infamy and reputation specialized in guerilla warfare tactics, and subsequent generational teachings lead to maintain and strengthen the senses beyond that of what most are accustomed to. The ninja required to carry out the tasks of being as self-reliant as possible without the aid of numbers, keeping cooperative teams lower than 4 members maximum. Lance can perceive ambient room temperature, and small shifts in said temperature, like body heat and movement.
* **Pain Suppression:** Lance was born with congenital analgesia, an extraordinarily rare condition in which one does not feel any form of pain. For Lance, this proves as a double edged sword, in that he can last much much longer in physical combat than a majority of combatants he will face, and though he knows when he is injured, it can often be far worse than anticipated.
* **Toxin Immunity:** Lance has, in the nicest way possible, a gifted liver. He has drank two full bottles of bourbon with a concoction of Rattlesnake Venom and Fentanyl and despite every odd, survived: though it was not without waking up six months later with the tattoo of someone's phone number on his ankle out in the middle of the Lunar Outback.
* **Inodorosity:** Lance's strict diet as a child to cheap rice and grains, no foods that contain anything with artificial preservatives or flavorings, with the only source of protein meat allowed was what he was able to hunt in the wild, gave him the great advantage of having no lingering body odor or scent. Though of course he still produces sweat, this still provides great advantage for stealth as an old proverb details "If one cannot see a ninja, they can smell them."

### Abilities

* **Peak Human Condition:** Before his consciousness was transferred to a synthetic body, Lance was the pinnacle of human potential.
* **Master Martial Artist:** Lance is a tremendously skilled martial artist. As a descendant of the Koga ninja clan, his skills in weapons and hand-to-hand combat are second to none. He is trained in Kōga-ryū Ninjutsu, and in addition to its disciplines, Kendō, Taekwondo and combat shooting. His signature move is the hammer kick, which is very powerful due to his great height.
	+ **Sword Mastery:** Lance's skill with a blade is greater than any ninja. He is an amazing swordsman who has been training since his formative years, and can wield the White Fox, a nagamaki, with ease. However, Lance's expertise is not limited to nihontō (Japanese swords), as he also wields a Chinese zhanmadao in conjunction with his wakizashi.
	+ **Knife Mastery:** Lance is also a master of wielding kunai and shuriken in battle. He can also accurately throw kitchen knives, even though they are not properly weighted. He threw one at Javelin Black's chest, after placing a bottle of tequila in front of the blade in overdrive.

*"Now get the fuck out before I Second Amendment your fucking head off."*
—Lance White to Sechnov
* **Master Marksman:** Lance is an exceptional marksman, being a self-described student of "triggernometry." He is highly accurate with any weapon supplied to him, but especially pistols, revolvers, rifles, and shotguns. He has a quick draw, as he pulled the trigger on his marksman's pistol before he could aim down the iron sight as Sechnov went for his revolver, and ricocheted the bullet over his shoulder and into the back of his leg. When he entered overdrive, he shot Sechnov in the head before he could retreat through his portal. He is also proficient with SMGs, as he keeps one in his nightstand.
* **Master Acrobat:** While he is tremendous in stature, Lance is highly gymnastic and skilled in parkour.
* **Stealth:**
* **Intimidation:**
* **Genius-Level Intelligence:** Lance is a creative genius who possesses an incredibly high IQ. He is deeply familiar with mechanical engineering, chemistry, physics, and biology. He attended Collingswood University and graduated at the top of his classes.
	+ **Master Engineer:** Lance is a technological genius. He designed Connor's containment suit.
	+ **Expert Tactician:**
	+ **Multilingualism:** Lance speaks his native Japanese and fluent English, and he has studied ancient cuneiform languages such as Sumerian and Babylonian.
* **Indomitable Will:**

## Weaknesses

* **Prone to Rampancy (i.e. Cyberpsychosis, Cybermental Snaps, Mania.):** Lance's mental fortitude is second to none, but his humanity is a different story. Should what one would consider left of it wither or fray away, or be subject to erosion long enough, he will **snap**. Lance, during one such episodes, broke into the State Estate during a garden party hosted by Doug State's father, slaughtered almost the entirety of the party guests and almost murdered Bullet, bringing him within an inch of his life before his team mates showed up to stop him with much unsuccess. Javelin was called upon to leave his current duties in E2.6 to come to E1.2 to assist. Javelin, is a contender and adversarial counterpart to Lance in almost everyway they are matched in strength, speed, endurance, tolerance, and agility. It required Javelin to hold Lance face-down to the floor upwards of over 8 and a half hours until he calmed down, to which Lance freed himself multiple times during. Lance when he is not of sound mind could easily defeat and outmatch himself.
* **Regenerative Malfunction:** Lance having been gifted new hyper regenerative body can endure, survive and outlast most of any trial he might be subject to from any foe he faces, though this isn't without it's draw backs. Lance's regenerative nanites have technologic flaws that can be exploited through obstruction from foreign objects. In a nutshell if Lance is shot, failure to retrieve the bullet(s) from his body in a timely matter can prove fatal as the nanites cannot replicate his tissue if there is something in the way, this goes the same for knife wounds. He is also weak in exposure to acute radiation as the technology cannot function well in high doses of radioactivity, rendering him Hemophilic as wounds will not close or clot properly until he is cleared of any radiation.

## Equipment

### Suit

* **GridTEC ZeroGrav S.T.A.S. Suit Type 01:** Lance was given a ZeroGrav S.T.A.S. (Special Tactics in Aerospace) Combat suit when he joined the I.S.S.P. Force. This suit, while made in mind for those on the **S.T.A.S.** division, perfectly suited Lance's style of quick close quarters combat. It is comfortable, flexible, and durable with outer energy shielding and contender class ballistic armor plating that can survive explosions in the vacuum of space without so much as a scratch. With the inclusion of a thermal regulation system It is built to last in molten temperatures as well as below zero, with a built in H,U.D. complete with a guided aiming system and topographical mini-map. Lance made his own adjustments with the inclusion of an early version of **V.I.S.T.A.** (Virtual Intelligent Smart-Link Tactical Assistant), an A.I. he created for assistance in Assault & Reconnaissance missions. The suit was made with automatic environment camouflaging technology. When exposed oxygen rich atmospheres and environments similar to human home worlds, the suit's coloration automatically turns to a deep black and navy-blue to accommodate to darker areas. When exposed to the vacuum of Space the suit's overall color scheme is washed out into a white and pale gray to blend in with distant solar light and meteoric rock. The suit's color and pattern is also adjustable from the inside to blend in to more specific environments, being able to shift to a bright red to indicate presence of emergency service as well as a deep blue to blend in with aquatic areas, along with woodland and arid camouflage.

### Weaponry and Gadgets

**Pistols & Revolvers:** Lance has a particular interest in handguns and their professional elegance.

* **Strayer Voigt Infinity 0-Grav Model:** Made specifically for Zero Gravity CQC situations, this handgun fires caseless ammunition at high impact to increase the greatly increase chance stabilizing a ricochet.
* **Taurus Raging Bull:** Lance armed himself with a chrome plated impact revolver when Sechnov broke into his apartment. He ricocheted a bullet into the bomber's leg and ultimately shot him in the head.
* **Chiappa Rhino:** Lance enjoys using unique weaponry, and the Chiappa Rhino fits his criteria with flying colors.

**Shotguns, Rifles & Automatics:** Even though he opts for stealth whenever possible, Lance enjoys firepower when it's appropriate.

* **FN P90:** Lance is a fan of weapons with unique magazine placement, and the P90 is one he has a particular liking to.
* **IMI Uzi:** Lance keeps one of these in his nightstand drawer should he receive an uninvited guest.

**Swords, Knives, Fixed Blades and Bladed Tools:** Lance is a connoisseur of all things sharp and stabby.

* **White Fox:** Lance's own Taisei buki (大聖武器) provides him the ability to erase matter as is from the space-time continuum in the form of a Nagamaki Erasure Sword. In the hands of a Sei Master it is a highly effective tool for cutting down obstacles and foes of all kinds, especially rogue astral deities and incorporeal/nonphysical entities. The White Fox and the Black Fox were forged together centuries ago by the Order of the Blue Serpent to defend Earth against evil deities known as Entities. Unlike the White Fox, the Black Fox was tainted by the Entities' power.
* **Daisho Set:** A set of multiple katana placed in a sash that work tandem in situations of close and personal combat.
	+ **Unmei (運命)**: Gifted to Lance by Jason Kade, Unmei is a custom forged Tsukamoto model Tachi with the color scheme and depiction on the Hamon of The Great Wave off Kanagawa along the blade, the sword handle wrapped in an elegant blue silk and the Saya comprised of hand painted treated bamboo wood. Due to the pattern of the paint and design, when it is drawn from the Saya it gives the optical illusion that a great tidal wave is being invoked forth from the saya.
	+ **Yūki to Gisei (勇気と犠牲):** Lance owns a pair of blades in which he uses simultaneously. Courage, a Chinese Zhanmadao with a Hamon pattern of a pond with koi swimming up stream, Mandarin engravings near the Tsuba translate to "Courage is a Journey." Sacrifice, a wakizashi short katana, has the Hamon pattern of an impending storm of lightning and thunder, with archaic Japanese engravings near the Tsuda that translate into "Sacrifice is a Battle". Upon further inspection, the depictions on all of Destiny, Courage, and Sacrifice connect into one greater picture, with the storms on Sacrifice following behind Destiny's Great Wave, with Courage being implied as the waterfall that started the wave on Destiny.
* **Hingeblades:** Lance owns a pair of short swords that fold into an elongated handle on a hinge, functioning similarly to a balisong. The hinge works in conjunction with a spring-lock mechanism that with the push of a lever snaps the blade into a fixed position. When fully folded the Hingeblades work as a pair of concealed bladed weapons that equal out to little over a foot long.
* **Kunai/Bō-Shuriken:** Lance carries two pouches on his left and right hip stocked full of kunai and bō-shuriken.
* **Trick Kunai/Trick Bō-Shuriken:** Lance happens to carry an extra ace with the aces up his sleeve.
	+ **Remote Detonated Kunai:** Kunai tagged to a remote detonator that create a small explosion upon being detonated. Lance uses these to clear walls and barricades as well as put distance between an enemy and himself.
	+ **Shock Shuriken:** Bō-shuriken hooked to a constant electrical circuit that inhibit shock paralysis to whoever is unfortunate enough to "catch" it.
	+ **Rope Dart:** Kunai with a loose rope or chain tied around the ring near the pommel that releases in air when thrown, working as a incapacitating lasso and as an anchor when directly piercing an assailant. Sometimes these are also hooked to an electrical circuit to double the effect.
	+ **Recon Dart:** Bō-shuriken that pings motion and thermal readings in real time, remote connected to a network feed.
	+ **Smoke Shuriken:** Bō-shuriken tipped at the end with a small cartridge that upon impact fumigates an area in a thick smoke that completely prohibits vision. Sometimes these are packed with pepper or salt to lastingly blind a target even after the smoke clears, or are packed with various fragments of silicon and depleted uranium as computer imaging software has difficulty rendering these materials when made into an airborne powder.
* **Kaginawa:** Climbing rope with a grapple hook for scaling walls and getting to hard to reach nooks & crannies.

### Vehicles

* **Ford Mustang Mach 1/"Himiko"**: Among inheriting his father's company and the White Fox, Lance received Himiko, a Ford Mustang model that was ceased production in 1978 only coming out with a handful more every few decades. Himiko has a deep red paint job with black racing stripes and what looks to be the race number "777" to the left rear-end, she has a custom plate number on the back with that reads "F0RTUNA."
* **Customized 2014 Suzuki GSX1300R Hayabusa:** Shortly after the early formation of The Rebels, Lance invested in a Twilight Blue Suzuki Superbike that he customized to his liking, with a L.E.D. ballistic glass windscreen and light up rims. Among the cosmetics he also made some tactical additions, with two concealed gun shelves under the brake handles and a hollow opening for the barrel. These shelves leave access to the trigger so if Lance finds himself in a high-speed pursuit he has fully concealed and ergonomic access to two handguns while he simultaneously he steers the wheel.
* **2017 Rezvani Tank "Hercules" 6x6 Military Edition:** Shortly before Lance would engage in full skirmishes and street warfare with Taras Richtov and the Red Army Syndicate on a frequent basis, he purchased two Rezvani Tanks, one for members of his team and one for himself, a highly ballistic armored truck/S.U.V. that improved upon the Jeep design. Lance specifically bought a Hercules Model, that comes with a 6 wheel-drive and 20+ security features upon purchase. Lance improved upon his Rezvani by adding a modular mount to the back of the truck bed that holds a FN MAG General Purpose Machine Gun over the back of the bed and an M134 Minigun over the hood of the truck. He also installed blast plating over the front and back of the truck and also put in a rail for a bed covering, effectively turning the truck bed into the back of a van.

## Trivia

* Lance's main theme is Everlong, by Foo Fighters. His other two are Don't Stop Me Now by Queen & his third is Lemon Tree by Fools Garden.
* Lance's drinks of choice are Old Crow, Fireball Cinnamon Whiskey, and Aged Pure Sake. Lance's wine of choice is anything red and strong, as red wine is said to hide the taste of poison best.
* Lance enjoys Top Ramen and Lay's.
	+ As a Replicant, Lance has near nonexistent sense of taste as sustenance and nourishment are unnecessary, so he prefers food that are highly bitter, acidic, spicy, or salty as high concentrations of capsaicin, citric acid, sodium chloride, or white vinegar override his pain inhibitor nerves and give the temporary illusion of taste.
* Lance enjoys watching reruns of *M\*A\*S\*H\**, and *Friends*.
* The design on Lance's sword **Courage** is a nod to an ancient myth of the Koi of the Yellow River. The myth says that there are many. many Koi who do not make it to the peak of the waterfall but those who persevere, hold faith and courage will crest the cascades and become mighty dragons.
