Lance Edwards
"Why should good music fade away just cause we ain't got the space for it?"

The Biography

Birth Name: Lance Edwards
Stage Name (Alias): Blackjack
Gender: Male
Age: 22
Birth Day: November 16th
Arcana: Wheel of Fortune
Place of Residence: Emo District
Evoker: Mugic Foci
Initial Genre: Classical

Full Time Job: Ranchhand

Appearance: Lance is a fairly good-looking young man (at least he think so), standing roughly 5’11” and sporting medium length chocolate brown hair and amber eyes. He often dresses rather casual, preferring to wear flannel shirts over top of white t-shirts, jeans, and his signature black cowboy hat and boots. He does have a slightly more formal outfit that he wears when meeting guests, but it’s still distinctively southern in design, being a leather vest and slacks accompanied by his cowboy hat and boots.

Spoiler:

Stage Appearance/Mugic Created outfit: His stage appearance adopts the more formal appearance of the Classical Genre, but still his southern will seems to persist over it. He wears a crimson vest over a black button up shirt and slacks, the vest buttons being marble in appearance, and a golden chain and pocket watch linked along his belt loop. But over this vest is a rather fancy black duster coat, and his persisting cowboy hat and boot combo, though the boots are now a striking crimson to match with his vest. He also wears a black masquerade mask that helps hide his true appearance.

Personality: Lance is a fairly kind, friendly, and laid-back southern-style boy with southern-styled values instilled into him. He is very respectful, especially to his elders. Though, when it's shown that that respect isn't reciprocated, he tends to get a bit snippy with the individual. It takes quite a lot to make him genuinely angry, and when he's angry, it's hard to get him to calm back down. He has a deep respect towards nature, and compassion to the creatures that call it home. But he also understands that nature is a cycle, and that people are a part of it, which is why he can accept using the ranch to feed the people of Semibreve as a noble cause.

Lance and his certain members of his family currently hold a fair amount of distaste towards the shift from the former Country District to the Emo District it is now, though they've never expressed it publicly. But down on the Edwards Ranch, the spirit of Country is still going strong, though it must now be played in secret gatherings as to not upset the government at large.

The Potential

Strengths and Weaknesses: (Lists anything that your character likes, dislikes, is skilled at or struggles with, etc. Do not list any combat related strengths or weaknesses here. These are only for roleplaying purposes and should be general descriptions of each. Please list three at the minimum and five at the max.)

+ Strength - 'My Name's Johnny': While the violin may be considered a cornerstone piece of the Classical string section, Lance has been taught how to use it masterfully in a faster folk style instead of being slower and more refined. This has led him to call his violin by it's now forgotten name: the fiddle.
+ Strength - Wrangler: Lance has sometimes been given the titles of 'Beast Tamer' or 'Animal Whisperer' due to his affinity to raising the animals upon the farm, and how well he can get them to follow his orders.
+ Strength - 'Where the Green Grass Grows': In his youth Lance would often spend his days toiling alongside his mother in her garden, since he wasn't old enough to help his father with the flock. This has lead to him having quite the green thumb, and a skillful hand in getting crops to grow.

- Weakness - Technophobic: Living on the ranch has caused Lance to fall out of touch with more modern technology, and he prefers it that way, honestly. Who needs phones anyways?
- Weakness - 'Knee Deep': Lance loves a good nap, and with his laidback and relaxed nature, he often succumbs to his slothish desires to find himself somewhere comfortable to hang his hat. He's quite impartial to the hay they keep in the back of the barn.
- Weakness - 'Ol Red': As previously mention, it's tough to make Lance mad, but once you have it's nearly impossible to calm him back down again. But as long as you don't insult his family, harm his friends, or ridicule his cowboy style, you should be fine.

History: Lance Edwards is the single son of Darian and Barbara Edwards, who own the most successful ranching operation in Semibreve, which is located in the newly changed Emo District. Lance has spent most of his life working alongside the various workers on the ranch, and has nearly picked up on any and every skill you’d think a rancher would know. Which was all part of his father’s plan to someday have him take over operation of the compound. Beneath the farming family's kind southern exterior, a dissonance is currently rising after the shift in Districts from the Country that they originated from, to the Emo that they've been thrusted into. And alongside his father, Lance is currently trying to find a way to fight this change in silence.

Looks good.

Approved~

You should probably fix the gun section to say 'Lighting (Spotlight) - Single Shot - Base Accuracy of 90%. +10% to Critical Hit Rate. Hits a single enemy. 6 Rounds per Magazine. 54 Reserves Capacity' for the stage one, since they're actually meant to use the same system. It's all good otherwise though.
