Lance Falzo


Clothing and description: Lance Falzo is a rather tall individual, roughly around six foot in height. This is supported by a weight of 67 kg, a part of it being a result of his muscles, trained to be strong, durable, yet not so bulky so that it wouldn't impend to his speed. The meister's height is without counting his hair, which is reddish-brown in colour and slightly spiky in form. They seem to flow backwards and end slightly beneath his neck. He has red eyes that match his peachy skin complexion.

As for clothes, he wears various types of clothing, that range from leather jackets with jeans to simply t-shirts and gym pants. In all of these sets of clothes, he wears a crown necklace and crown chain. However, Lance has two prominent clothing. The first one is simple enough; he still prefers to put his infamous red leather jacket, which the sleeves stop at right after the elbow, with black wristbands. He wears a black T-Shirt, light blue jeans and cool sneakers. The second set has long arm guards that cover his arms from the wrist all the way to his elbow. He wears black finger less gloves with large bracelet-like item on each of his wrist. Lance wears a black sleeveless t-shirt with red designs on it. Finally, he wears black puffy pants with the hemline rolled a few inches above his ankles and black sneakers (converse).

History: Lance Falzo was born the last sibling of three, though "last" would only be defined in minutes, since the older two are part of the Falzo Triplets. The first one to come out of the womb was Lazarius Falzo, the more serious, no-joking triplet. The second was Larkin Falzo, who has a more energetic and fun way of life. The "last" one was Lance, who's more of the snarky, yet calm type of guy.

They were all born in Montreal, a city in the province of Québec, in Canada. The winters were harsh, and the summers were hot, but the Falzos kept their cool and were always causing trouble in the neighbourhood. Soon enough, however, one of them exhibited abilities that were supernatural. During one of their usual sibling skirmishes, things got a little heated between Larkin and Lazarius, and they fought it out, mano-a-mano. Suddenly, as Larkin punched Lazarius, a boombox speaker appeared on the palm of his right hand. It was at this moment that Larkin discovered that he was a magic weapon. However, his weapon form wasn't the kind that could be used without significant knowledge (he turns into a boombox). This triggered something inside the rest of the guys, who thought that maybe they also had supernatural abilities that they had to learn to use. Thus, all three embarked, at the age of fifteen, on a world tour to further better their skills. While their mother was reluctant to let her only children go out into the world at such a young age, their father was pleased by their determination. He told them that they needed to see the world with their own eyes, especially Larkin, before they joined Shibusen.

Lance Falzo started his journey in the Americas, travelling in many cities of the United States, in the Caribbeans and South America. He eventually got into Europe. Ending in France, he ended up working in a restaurant to continue financing his voyage. It was there that he met his future mentor and master, Michel Casseux. After seeing how strong he was after someone tried to rob from their restaurant, yet how unrefined his fighting style was, he decided to mentor him. He taught him his own style of Savate, "Black Leg". For a year of so, he trained heavily under him, gaining his respect and learning how to use his powers. Michel was a tough love kind of teacher, who kept pounding his instructions into Lance's head until he had a high level of control over how to use his Black Leg style. Michel also revealed that he was a graduate meister from Shibusen, and taught him something that would help him immensely if he did not get a weapon yet: Soul Force. However, Lance was a little... taken aback by the fact that the technique did not use his feet, but his palm. Michael laughed. He was a cook, and cooks needed their hands for cooking, which is why Black Leg was developed. However, he believed that Soul Force was better off to use with the hands, to catch the enemy off guard. Besides, as Michel said: "Black Leg will help you pummel your opponents to a pulp, that much I guarantee, but only a weapon or your wavelength will ever defeat those of supernatural nature. Also, it's easier to use with the palms of your hand than with the soles of your feet."

Michel had the habit of taking Lance with him in excursions all around France, since he was a famous chef and had many contacts. In one of those trips, they encountered a rather powerful Kishin Egg going by the name of "Le Horla", a shadow-like creature. For the first time, Lance felt true terror and fear, and it is through that experience that he awakened his Soul Perception ability. From then on, he started using it from time to time, without actually training it or perfecting it. After a while, Michel deemed Lance ready to take on the world and told him to join Shibusen, the same school he had attended.

After three years of traveling, Lance finally returned to Canada, but only as a pit stop to end up in the United States. He felt ready to join Shibusen and find a partner to get his own personal weapon and create a death scythe for Lord Shinigami. During his travels, he had seen the beauty of the world, as well as its ugliness, and the bad part made it difficult for him to fully open up to people. However, Lance is ready to find a weapon partner and start his own new journey as one of Lord Death's soldiers.

Personality: Lance Falzo is a young man who is calm in almost all situations, which makes it easy for any person to get along with him, despite his faults. He is clever and quick on his feet, in and out of battle.

He is fun to be around, and he likes to play pranks on those that have gained his loyalty and trust, something that is difficult for him to do after having seen much of the world in his travels. However, he is also slightly obnoxious, having no filter in any situation. He likes a challenge and doesn't back down much, claiming that he can "surpass the gods if I'm [he's] on the job".

Lance has a high regard for Shibusen. He believes that if someone like his Master Michel Casseux can come out of this place, then certainly he could become even stronger by joining their ranks. He believes Kishin Eggs need to be destroyed for the sake of peace in the world. However, his opinion of witches is different. He believes Kishin Eggs are inherently evil, as they are humans that are going on the wrong path. On the other side, he thinks witches cannot ALL be evil beings, since it would be like saying all meisters and weapons are good guys, which he knows isn't true.

Not many things grind his gears or make him sad. One of the few things that gets on his nerves are bugs. Their little stature and humongous annoying behavior really makes his focus waver, and not many things can do that. The other thing that makes him nervous and slightly anrgy are guns. He thinks they are cowardly and make it impossible for a fair fight. He dismisses that fact about bows, arrows and crossbows, since it takes much more skill to learn how to use one than a gun.

Finally, he has faults, like many human beings. As stated above, he is obnoxious to a fault; he can be very passionate, to the point of obsession (though not too creepy). Lance is also very calm and collected, which makes him sometimes oblivious to insults fired at him. He is also oblivious to the attention of women, him being a somewhat handsome young man.

Abilities: Lance Falzo is a quite capable meister, who's personality makes him compatible with almost anyone. However, it is to note that he is utterly unable to wield with any proficiency any artillery (pistols, shotguns, snipers, etc.). However, he has no problems with bow/arrows and crossbows. He also learned a style of Savate named "Black Leg Style", which delivers powerful kicks stronger than normal ones, while aiming for particular places on the opponent for maximum damage. He also has a restrain control over his wavelength, which is why he can use soul force.

Technique Name: Soul Force
Effects/Description: The technique is a form of self resonance. By resonating with his own soul, Lance can drive his own soul wavelength directly into an opponent's body through a physical strike on them. The incompatible Wavelength can cause strong direct and internal damage. He focuses his wavelength into his hand drives through his opponent with a palm strike. His Soul Force is like a shockwave through someone's body. He can use it once every two posts.

Technique Name: Soul Perception
Effects/Description: This unique ability allows Lance to see the souls of living people, which allows him to see the power a person has and to distinguish between Kishin eggs and human beings. However, he still isn't apt to tell what emotions people have and can't perceive souls that are too far (maximum of 30 meters). What he sees are the actual souls of people, and their color, signifying their allegiance.

Combat Style: Lance is primarily a close-quarters combatant. He learned a style of Savate (French Boxing) while in France, which is named "Black Leg Style". Savate in itself only allows foot kicks (no shin or knee) and has very little punches. However, Black Leg relies solely on foot kick and shin hits. Thus, Soul Force was taught to Lance to compensate for the lack of arm use. Being partnered with Irene furthered to eliminate Black Leg's lack of punches. Since Irene, when transformed into a weapon, is mounted on his right arm, he combines close quarter wavelength shots from her with his Soul Force from his left hand. However, these are usually used to deliver final blows to get the kishin eggs, while Black Leg is his main fighting style.

Lance is physically strong, capable of dealing strong strikes with and without weapons. The average thug is no match for him, and even expert martial artist would find his power amazing. However, his skill lies in his speed and accuracy, which are essential not only in wielding Irene well, but also in using his Black Leg style. He is very fast and quick on his feet, and his eyes can follow movements slightly faster than his. However, his long-range aiming still needs polishing.

Miscellaneous Information: While he does wield a long range weapon, and is quite adept with bows and arrows, Lance is utterly useless when it comes to guns. He also secretly watches "The Vampire Diaries" without anyone knowing so it doesn't affect his coolness. He also hates bugs.

Strengths:
  • Expert hand-to-hand combatant, emphasis on the kicks and legs
  • Clever on the battlefield, so he can think up on strategies on the fly
  • Calm demeanor that lets him stay focused on the target

Weaknesses:
  • Can't wield a gun to save his life
  • Is only mildly good in sharpshooting (bows and crossbows), which becomes a problem with long range opponents.
  • Despite his high amount of concentration power, Lance can easily lose focus with bugs around.

Hi luffy, welcome back (to 42 in general). I shall be modding your character he sounds interesting, and it seems like you have a good grasp of your character, but lets polish him up so others can have a better chance of seeing the Lance you see.

History

So I've recently received tips from other mods about modding histories. Although people don't often like writing histories, myself included, this is the meat of the profile, it justifies every other aspect of your character. With that, here's some questions and suggestions i have for your history:


  • how was the first ability of triplets discovered? what kind of event triggered it?
  • how did they go about this world tour from a family standpoint? (do parents support this decision?) What about initial finances?
  • why wasn't Larkin already taken in by Shibusen after finding out he was a demon weapon?
  • what kinds of things did he do and see on his travels? what made it difficult for him to trust people?
  • what kind of teacher was Michel?
  • any particular way he got this mentor?
  • I can sorta see how soul force would come into existence through this kind of training, but what about soul perception?
  • how did he gain soul force from what i assume to be a relatively normal martial art?
  • Why does he use his hand for Soul Force rather than his feet? (can be answered in the description of Soul Force instead)
  • how did he hear about shibusen?
  • where did his confidence come from?


of course you are free to change details as you see fit, these are just things that came to mind as i read your profile.

Personality

It seems a bit short, if you need tips maybe stuff like his opinion of shibusen, kishin eggs, and witches. Is there anything that makes him angry/sad and how does he react to it? You have mentioned faults, are there any personality faults besides being obnoxious?

Abilities

You have mentioned here that Lance created the Black Leg style, but in the history it says he was taught the Black Leg style.

How much damage could a single hit of Soul Force do? Any particular effect on the victim's body or appearance wise (like Stein's appeared electrical, but black Star's was more like a shockwave)? Does Lance have a limit to how often he can use Soul Force? or maybe a cooldown? or perhaps a charge up time (no need to mention if not, please clarify in post back though)?

I'm getting a sense of soul perception similar to early Soul Eater chapters Maka, are there any particular differences in what he sees (for example we've had people with soul perception that can see names or soul perception that looked like a heart rate meter)? Does he need any time to charge up or focus on this ability (no need to mention this if not, please clarify in your post back though)? and what is his range of perception (to some people short may be a few inches away or like 100 ft away to others)?

Combat Style

I feel like there is some lack in description, particularly with Black Leg, saying he has it doesn't really explain much. You mentioned Savate in your history, maybe explain a bit of Savate here and what makes Black Leg special in this regard. What sets Black Leg apart from other martial arts besides fast, accurate, and powerful kicks? Is it like 90% kicks and 10% hands? I don't understand why it becomes more important when partnered with Irene, especially since she's inherently a ranged weapon, rather than the fighting style becoming more important when partnered with Irene it sounds more like Lance is using Irene to improve it. Maybe helping reduce a weakness inherent in the fighting style? I am glad you have described how he would use Irene though.

I would also like to ask for a reference of strength by himself, could he take on the average thug by himself? how about an average kishin egg or two?

Strengths and Weaknesses

We try to keep these balanced, but as is, it seems like both weaknesses are talking about the same general thing ("sucks at ranged weaponry, only somewhat competent with bows and crossbows" is what I'm getting from them), i do recognize the difference though. in any case these aren't really sufficient enough to balance out his strengths. At least one more weakness please.




Overall, I think Lance has a good start. He sounds like a great character and I can tell a lot of thought went into this, you should be done soon.

we're almost done, mostly a couple of questions for history. I suppose it doesn't really matter what happened to Larkin after they parted ways so i'll leave that behind. There's a chunk of time missing between the start of his journey and France, all we know about is where he went not what he did. Was he just passing through, spending only a day or two in a place until he reached France? Was it more of a sightseeing tour? Maybe he saw a bunch of bad things in this time of his life? So far I've only seen mention of one bad thing in his history, hardly worth causing people to not trust others unless they're sensitive or something (especially since the one in the wrong at the time was a kishin egg and he had gained soul perception that allows him to see the difference).

Still interested in how Michel came to mentor Lance, did Lance pay him? Pester him? did lance work for him and eventually Michel decided to teach him?

Almost there Luffy, the history is the only thing left.
