[b]Personality[/b]: Somewhat hot-headed. Likes explosions and isn't afraid to get his hands dirty as long as it gets him a large paycheck at the end of the day. Despite his usual gruffness, he at least has enough morals not to shoot and kill random civilians, something even Marines aren't spared from. He is known to be rather positive at times, often delivering quips in the heat of battle. However, he is also quick to become stern and serious when the situation gets awry. Other than this, he is also painfully sarcastic at times.

[b]History[/b]: Like most modern mercenaries, Lance was a former Marine who served for four years before leaving. He fought in several conflicts over the years, most notably the Colonial Uprising, a war fought between the United Earth Government and the Sovereign Colonies, human colony worlds that did not want to be part of the UEG. The war had been dragging on for almost two centuries as of 2841, and it didn't look like it was going to end any time soon. 

With the war waging on, millions of Marines were deployed to battlefields each day, and Lance was one of those sent to fight. The heaviest fighting normally took place on the colonies further away from Earth, with the rebels controlling much of the territory. The UEG's military, the United Earth Government Naval Command, struggled to control the rebels. Lance saw some of the heaviest fighting and participated in numerous battles. 

Eventually, he left the Marines and became a freelance mercenary, purchasing his own ship and armour with what money he had. There, he worked for whoever paid best. While he wasn't exactly very well-known, he was still prolific enough for weaker colonies constantly getting raided by pirates and rebels to hire him. He fulfilled contract after contract, earning himself a decent sum of money in the process.

He had just completed a contract and was heading to a nearby world for some R&R when his ship experienced a hyperdrive malfunction, forcing him to come back to realspace above an uncharted planet. With nowhere else to go, he decides to land on it to explore.

[b]Skills and Abilities[/b]: Lance is a trained soldier, being handy with his assault rifle and just about any other firearm. He is somewhat skilled in hand-to-hand combat, although he prefers to stay at range. He is a skilled technician and mechanic, quickly repairing any mechanical faults he finds, and be fairly personable and friendly enough.

[b]Cutter[/b]: Cutter is Lance's A.I. assistant. He is a standard A.I. construct that takes the appearance of a man wearing a set of powered armour, minus the helmet. He is sarcastic and somewhat playful, and his holographic projection is grey.
