General Appearance: Lance isn’t a bad looking guy, though he doesn’t recongize it and it shows in the types of clothes he wears or how her appears. His hair often in a mess of curls and slightly unshaven at most times (unless trying to impress) but in some parts it’s obvious he cares. Good dentals and properly cleaned where needed.
His dark hair and features allow the six foot man to settle in to crowd and his 160ish pounds shows how well he does look after himself. Usual workouts have kept the man in shape, even if he chooses clothes that does not show it. His self conscious side shows as he wears clothes a size larger. He claims it is more comfortable and he doesn’t mind it. While he does have the ability to dress up better, he personally feels odd doing so.
Personality: He is an extremely bashful man, always has been and anyone who knew him from his younger days would think it was his normal. Being from a less then financially stable family, he insures that his studies well to be able to work somewhere that he doesn’t have to worry on such things, though he would just be happy working.
He often allows himself to shift himself to the background. While he somewhat knows that it isn't the most ideal thing... he feels that if he stands tall in social settings he'd mix signals from the verbal and the mental. This (hanging back/stay out of large groups) is puts him in a zone where he is more comfortable. This issue however has had ripple effects where social interactions and more often are done poorly by him and missed when others try.
He is passionate about teaching (specifically, english/drama) as that is what he is in college for. He realizes his power seems to make things harder in the field but he enjoys the thrill of teaching to much to think of any other career. This passion is easily seen as he uss his spare time as a paid tutor. Being only in his second year of the course he is showing himself more and more in his work.
He is currently closeted about his sexual identity. Not that he is ashamed but more afraid. Being a telepath he is afraid of what people think more on their reactions. People have never really seen him in a relationship and people could guess as he is less than subtle at times since he uses most of his energy not to let a mental slip.
When not studying or working... he enjoys video games and jogging in the parks. He uses his extra time as well practicing covering his ability up. Not wanting others in his class to think he is cheating or anything.Your VicesLikes: - Soft Drink

Any Other Important People:A labrador puppy named BanjoHistoryLance had a pretty average childhood if you asked him. His parents earned a bit but not overly rich and he did what kids did. His parents never had another kid and there was no real reason why or none that they would tell him. His father worked as a cook and his mother worked as a librarian and she was the one that inspired him to want to teach at an early age.
He wasn’t a cool kid in school, he was often really forgotten more than bullied and he felt he made friends with the teachers who always would help him when needed. This continued until his thirteen years old when he heard what one thought on him that made him leave in almost tears. It was then that he was moved to the Hammel Institute.
Once he was moved, he feel back in the same circle but feeling less ignored since all he could do was work on not reading or being read. It was in the Institute he learned of his leanings towards other guys and knowing how people thought in general, he swore to keep that to himself until he can control his telepath ability better.
Graduating and starting College to become a teacher, he was sure the Institute would of allowed him to teach there but he promised his family he’d go to college and he enrolled himself in english and literature teaching. Depending if Hammel will still take him back after his course is done he would very well join their staff.Roleplay ExampleHe wasn’t ashamed as he wiped the tears from his eyes. Even if he did it behind closed doors. It was a long story... when he turned twelve and the Cadena attack Hogsmeade for the first time he knew that he wanted to stop horror’s like that. He set himself in motion, he was going to become an Auror. Even back then, he knew it was no small task to take and maybe he was a little naive to think he could at that age... but he knew that was where he wanted to be.
He joined both Patronus and Giving Student Connections club to set his path, Auror Dorrington probably would be proud of him now. He got the grades and did the extra work. He did everything in his student power to get the edge to get in the Department. Probably the reason why he took that year off. Coming into the Investigators offices for the first time and being ushered in by Goodwin was maybe a clear sign he was bound to move along in the world.
Even though his first big job ended with death, Kuja took the World Cup fiasco and carried it with him. He learnt so much about himself from that. From honouring fallen and victims properly to understanding that in the job, you aren’t a hero... you are just a human, doing the best job you can to save as many people as he could. It was further emphasized when the Cadena attacked that he was just a person... he might of lost his way and been fine settling as an Investigator before the attack but being placed under the Imperius Curse restored him on the right path.
Bumps came, obviously. His marriage crumbled because he made a poor choice in putting faith in a coward but from the ashes, he was reborn into his role as head of the Investigators. He was content their. Helping those train and doing the work needed... and from those same ashes, he joined the Order. The combination of the two meant that he could lead the same life, but without the same title. His choice in being within the Order was exactly that, a choice. He knew that even if he never made it here that his choice in protecting people will come first.
The last Cadena attack shock him and everyone he knew. It was the first time he felt he truly failed not only the people he was employed to protect, but he failed to help those who worked with him.. and he failed as a member of the Order. Seeing a glimmer of hope within the department bar one, they stuck together. His mission to create a team and not a bunch of Investigators working for a paycheck. He felt very much proud of them all.
He knew when Goodwin called him into his office today something was up... the formality, he assumed he was being fired for a dismal performance as the Division Head. He tore him and all his coworkers a new one. While Kuja tried to shield the Investigators as much as he could, he felt that protectiveness was the reason he would be let go but... the topic changed from his failures, to his successes. When the words came from Goodwin on the offer... he swore that he misheard him. Having Goodwin repeat himself was a rarity but he must of made an exception this one time. His acceptance was quick and the discussion of the change continued.
Hours later, he stood where he was now. With his stuff being moved to his new office. His brown eyes watery because no matter what has happened to him, no matter who had hurt his heart... no matter who has claimed what about him... he had done it. He had worked his rear so hard, doing everything he could and being someone he would respect but never once changing his passion and goals... he had became an Auror. A slight chuckle came from his lips as he placed the first of many boxes on his desk, shaking his head with the biggest grin he had ever donned.
