{Height}
"Five Feet, eleven and a half inches."
{Build}
"Can't you see? I'm super buff, but my muscle likes to hide under a small layer of fat."
Lance isn't chubby at all, but lean and athletic. He works out a lot because of the filming he enjoys that can be very physically demanding. His body is lean and there is not much fat whatsoever, just enough to keep his abs from showing off in a ridiculous way.
{Skin Color}
Olive || Tan
{Hair}
Dark Brown that appears Black
{Eye Color}
Chocolate Brown
{Scars/Tattoos/Piercings}
Arm || Lance has one long scar from his shoulder to his elbow on his right arm that was from a piece of jagged metal cutting him during a shoot. It didn't quite heal the way the doctor had thought it would. It isn't thick but a thin white line that is just on the skin's appearance, not the actual texture or anything.

{Personality}
Fun loving || Adventurous || Sweet || Excitable || Impulsive
Lance is a fun loving individual who feels that if every minute is not lived to the fullest, it was not lived properly. He can't stand the days where he lies around doing nothing and always finds something to do, whether he knows if its legal or not. He will do whatever he feels will produce the most exciting results and prefers to live in the moment that think of the past or the future.
Lance is also adventurous, constantly reading to get his fix of adventure that he doesn't get from his job working at a nearby zoo. He is always looking for something to try to figure out, treating it like a mystery in every aspect as he believes there's no reason not to.
He is sweet and compassionate as he cares for people and cares about what they the think of him. He hates when people think he is being insensitive so he tries to sugar coat everything unless someone straight up tells him not to. He is sweet and always thinks of others, knowing exactly what will cheer them up so long as he knows them well enough.
Excitable is one word to describe him. He gets excited over anything and everything. This allows him to be very good with children as he can always get excited over anything they might be interested in causing him to be very good at connecting with them. Lance prefers to be excited over things than nervous or scared because those two feelings are inhibitory and only hurt rather than encourage.
As sweet and fun loving as Lance is, he is impulsive and stubborn. Once he has an idea in his head, he doesn't let it go. He will do or say what he wants when he wants and won't hesitate to do something dangerous, stupid, or both. He hardly ever thinks about what he does before he acts though what he says does have a slight filter, but when what he is saying is negative, there is a complete filter unless someone asks him to remove it.
{Quirks/Habits/Oddities}
Pixie Sticks || Lance has a collection of pixie sticks that he holds onto and hides under his bed. Whenever he feels low on energy, he cuts off several pixie stick heads and downs all the sugar in less than a minute. He has developed an addiction for the sugary treat causing him to need at least two packs a week to keep from being grouchy or stressed.
Imaginary Friend || When Lance was six, he had an imaginary friend that he was afraid of. In his head, the imaginary friend was bipolar and could be very scary or very nice. When Lance was in a time of compete joy in his life, when he was on the playground and had no homework on the last day of school, Lance found that he didn't have his imaginary friend anymore and that he never showed up again.
Coffee || Like pixie sticks, Lance is addicted to coffee. He must have a cup a day in order to keep him awake long enough to make it through the day. He often drinks around two or three before the day has begun just because of the taste he loves.
{Hobbies}
Film || Lance likes to make films, short films, long films, trailers for films, anything. He loves the editing and filming process and though he doesn't exactly love it as much as the rest of the creative project, Lance will act in his films should he not find another actor as he is not bad whatsoever in that area.
Drawing || Lance likes to draw to make little cartoon flip books. Though they are not always great, he has done some pretty fun and cool things with his talent to draw cartoon characters, not live people whatsoever.
Stupidity || Lance likes to thing his "stupid" actions are hobbies. Why not have a hobby of doing stupid and potentially dangerous things? He prefers the term selective intelligence over stupidity as it is far less offensive than the "s" word.
{Fears}
Heights || Even though Lance loves to fly, he hates heights. He prefers to pretend that the ground is not so far away and should he fall, the soft ground will comfort him, not provide a barrier that he smashes into.
Death || Even though Lance does stupid things that are dangerous and could potentially, in the worst case scenario, result with death, Lance still fears it. He figures the best way to confront the fear is to walk the fine line that is between deadly dangerous and just stupid or "selectively intelligent" dangerous.
Not Knowing || Because Lance is so good with children, he is often hired to care for them. However, he fears that one day he won't know what to do or how to react to a situation that could potentially harm the child in danger/need.
{Secrets}
Pixie Stix || Though it's common knowledge Lance has a pixie stix addiction, it is not widely known that he keeps boxes under his bed for when he might need to restock his supply he constantly has on them. His supplier is also a secret.
The Fling || Yeah... the fling between the girl that likes him and the guy that he hates... He doesn't let anyone know that he knows about it.

{History}
Lance has had the most boring life a boy like him could not ask for in New York City. He has two siblings, both fifteen years older than him and out of the house before he really got close to either. His parents were over loving and understanding for the most part, unless he got bad grades. Lance was that kid who was excited to do anything and friends with anyone that wanted to be friends. He never had trouble with friends though he did have issues with bullies up until he got into a fight with one.
He found the more friends he had, the less bullies targeted you, so he surrounded himself. Lance grew up playing sports depending on the season, and found that in his free time, he would draw sketches. He found that he had a passion for animation and would begin looking into the field of film for an idea about life.
His parents, one a doctor and the other a lawyer, were not entirely supportive of this decision. Both claimed that it was not a set form of income and would be impractical as a full time job, trying to persuade Lance that it would be better to have that as a hobby and take on a practical job for his full time income source.
Lance found that though the advice was knowledgeable, but still hurt, he didn't care all that much. He figured practical jobs were stupid and took to film making. He is very knowledgeable about it and knows every time of film shot or idea that there is. He was even given the opportunity to travel a New York Film Academy convention where he could work with professionals.
When he was discovered for his talent at the convention, he was given a part time job on set, working as an assistant to a famous overseas director who was working on becoming known worldwide rather than in just Europe.
Lance found that he was very good at acting and was getting cast in shows rather than hired to direct or edit. Finding that kind of distressing, Lance broke away and began working on trying to make his own name in the big business that he loved. His parents, now more appreciative upon seeing his talent, allowed Lance to do as he pleased, traveling with him when it was required on occasion.
