Personality:
A goofy party happy twenty year old, Lance finds himself enjoying life as if everything was always exciting. His mother would nag him about chores that need to be done and yet Lance would simply continue to be a carefree kind of guy who simply runs around doing his school work and going to practice to become a guard. After lance graduated school and started his job as a guard he found himself bored out of his mind since nothing ever happened while he was a guard. In his spare time he practices mainly with the Falcata and found he has a natural talent with the weapon.
Sneaking into parties that are being held around the kingdom makes him happy since most parties do not allow for guards to join since a guard can and most of the time will stop the rowdy parties, but lance can't get enough of these types of parties and almost all of the parties he sneaks into he never stops. The one time he had to stop a party was when a bunch drugs that make people freak out and attack each other for no reason.
His love of Zero is very strong, as the only type of pet he was ever allowed to own the Shire horse was a constant companion as he was require to have a horse as he was training to become a guard so the horse could also be trained.
After a hard day of training even to this day Lance would take Zero with him down to a water edge and each of them would swim in the water and relax for a little while before returning to his home and cleaning the horse up from it's bath. On occasions Lance would try to race his horse and loose almost every time.
History:
Lance came from a family where all the male born became guards for the Prynne, his mother is alive and well and yet his father died in a accident where he lost his footing in the rain and fell down the side of the wall while he was patrolling. His father caused a ruckus when he died, because his father had slipped and fell of the wall he was paroling, the elite guards had thought an assassin had broken into the castle to kill the king, yet lance's father had simply wore the wrong shoes and slipped in a rain puddle and fell of the wall.
Lance went to school and guard training classes starting at the age of 16 the minimum age to join the guard training classes, When he joined his father had gifted to him His guard training was difficult he wasn't proficient in spears or guns but excelled in crossbows and Falcata. His father had give him a Falcata that was passed down though generations, so many generations in fact that the engraving on the weapon had lost its meaning and no one could tell what was written upon it any longer. Lance father died when he was almost 18
Lance learned of parties that were said to be wild through out all of Prynne and started sneaking into them after his fathers death, only on occasion did he report what he found to the standard police.
Riding his shire horse he named Zero who is a deep gray with a small black mane, that lance kept trimmed short so it was easier to bridle and saddle the horse who stood 17 hands high. Lance would race Zero as part of guard training to develop Zero's stamina and speed, the horse would also have to be trained not to spook easily. So it could be used as a War horse should the need ever arise.
Lance found he enjoyed swimming at a young age when his mother had taken him to the pier and taught him the two swimming stokes she knew, which were the front stroke and the back stroke. On his own lance figured out the breast stroke, the doggy paddle, and what he called the fish. (where he would swim underwater as long as he could without using his hands or breathing.)
Lance learned that his father had been the master of Falcata's, When he graduated the guard school. Lance's dream became to surpass his fathers abilities with the Falcata and become the best warrior Prynne had ever seen, yet his guard activities bored the living hell out of him. So he spends more time training with the Falcata than with any other weapon unless the Royals need his assistance with something more pressing.
RP Sample:
Lance stood in a empty training ground as twilight rolled in around him. In a scabbard attached to his belt held his trusty Falcata. Upon his body he wore armor that would normally be used in a war. Feeling he should be ready for anything as his father would have been Lance had been growing use to the extra weight of the armor as he practiced with his favored weapon. The dummy before him made of wood and straw drew his attention and centered it. His Falcata he knew had a complete handle he wouldn't easily loose his gripping upon the short blade. Lance had dropped the shield that would normally be apart of the Falcata masters arsenal and replaced it with a second Falcata.
Lance took a breath and prepared his mind for the battle he saw in his mind. A dummy that couldn't move in all reality could be a deadly adversary. Each of his hands gripped the Falcata's handles the cool brass warming under his touch.
Unsheathing each of the swords in a blink of an eye he quickly twisted to the left as if he expected the dummy to attack him. With his left hand he sliced the air he was just standing in as if to knock a weapon down and out of the way he then continued to twist raising his right arm and twisting the blade in turn at an angle to hack in a 65 degree angle towards the dummy.
As his carbon steel blade made contact with the dummy a echoing clang sounded as the dummy shuddered and straw fell all about the wood frame of the dummy pierced deeply as the Falcata bit deep. The force that Lance hit with knocked the dummy off of its base.
Lance sheathed his left Falcata and used his foot to hold the dummy in place as he pride his right Falcata from the walnut base. Upon ripping his Falcata from the dummy he released a small chunk of wood nodding his head he knew the base of each of the dummies were Walnut wood, some of the strongest wood the kingdom could have got for training dummies.
Lance cleaned off the right Falcata and sheathed it before standing the dummy back up to practice all over again.
