Description: Years of sports and martial arts have been kind to Lance. Standing at a respectable height of six feet and two inches of solid muscle, Lance has a fit, muscular physique with broad shoulders, fair skin with a slightly tanned complexion, and sharp facial features. Perhaps the most distinct feature of this young man is his flame-red hair and goofy, crooked grin that shows off perfect teeth to match his kind light blue eyes. In terms of attire, Lance has a wide range of styles he will wear, from a full formal suit to casual tees and jeans and formal casual.
One thing to note however, is that his body always seems feverish to the touch, remaining at 100.1 at a constant. As Lance's mutation has gradually set in, so too has his appearance changed, losing much of a human appearance that has been replaced by a more fiery, rock golem like body while retaining his general appearance and physique.
Personality:
Lance is the type of guy that is your “boy next door” stereotype. He is a highly sociable person, always having something to say regardless of the topic and usually adapting to most social circles. He’ll gladly approach a total stranger, either just to have a small conversation, ask if they need help, or expressing genuine curiosity about them. And despite his previous status as a high school jock and his well-off rich status, he is amazingly humble and down to earth, which might surprise some.
He is not the type to purposely flaunt his skills, knowledge, or his wealth. He is quite approachable and quirky, better described as an average guy with a kind heart and big goofball to match his goofy, crooked grin he often flashes. But this humbleness can act against him. Lance will often be the type to jump into a situation recklessly to help someone while being steadfast in his beliefs of right and wrong. Caring deeply for justice and having strong morals, he will bend the rules to do what he thinks is right, and is never afraid to take matters into his own hands. And in today’s growing tensions between humans and mutants that can be a dangerous trait.
But, Lance has his moments he shows a temper and can get argumentative. He has an iron will and is extremely stubborn, sometimes even overly protective and does not shy away from danger. Though well-rounded to handling many social situations, he is the type to act on loyalty he holds towards certain people above a single group and isn’t above holding a long-term grudge. One can also find that Lance suffers heavily from over exerting and overworking himself often, better termed a workaholic by some.
Powers: Lance was previously a human with a recessive x-gene initially making his mutant abilities dormant, but recent life changes have began to cause his mutation to set in later than most.
Lance is a pyrokinetic, more in a sense that he is a walking furnace. After his mutation was finally triggered, he changed on a molecular level of a walking rocky golem resembling a burned, rocky husk with cracks along his hide, which can be found to have extended to his vital organs. Within, Lance produces a carbon-free gas that produces a constant blue flame that is seen always emanating from his body between these cracks, except for around the head in which case these flames create a sort of new “fire hair” and seep out of where his eyes use to be. His primarily ability therefore is these blue flames that his body produces that reach up to 3,000 degrees Fahrenheit, enabling him to manipulate and shape at will.
The extent of his control is based on his imagination and his stamina. At the basic level of its infancy, Lance can create fireballs, streams of fire, and basic constructs. These fireballs and jet streams can reach up to twenty feet at the present, and he has some limited control of how hot they really are, but it will take time and practice to extend his range and adjust potency. Not only this, but he can create small waves of fire or fire “shock waves” to cover a greater radius around himself, with having the ability to unleash all his flames in a single discharge, but at the cost of becoming severely exhausted and lethargic. His constructs are also quite basic, limited to short-lived and somewhat solid constructs he knows from his martial arts lessons or seen in books and movies but remain small in size and mass. With time, he could become more creative in how he uses these flames, such as jet propulsion, more complex constructs with greater solidification, and adjusting the temperature of his flames to not be so dangerous for normal individuals.
A side effect of this extremely hot fire is that his body has become a burned, blackened rocky form. This rough exterior grants him a level of superhuman durability such as handling high falls, low-caliber bullets, and most fatal impact or punishing blows. This dermal armor naturally occurs over time due to the flames burning carbons that may be in the atmosphere around him.
Weaknesses:
Before his mutation activated, Lance had all the general weaknesses any normal human had, including being a workaholic and overexertion, resulting in the neglect of his mental and physical health. But with his powers settling in recently, the loss of some of his human traits have given way to newer weaknesses.
You’d think being a walking fire golem would be cool right? Well, Lance’s abilities have some drawbacks. Perhaps the most obvious is the fact Lance cannot return to a normal state, his physical changes are permanent. That being said, his flames are extremely hot and dangerous, being hotter than normal flames and can easily burn through most material if he isn’t careful. In fact, reckless use of his abilities could easily result in a small blaze becoming a raging inferno, which is even more painfully obvious when he must concentrate to regulate the temperature of his body to a tolerable level but anything below 100.1 can prove to be physically harmful. He is also incapable of manipulating other flames aside from the one he already generates on his own.
To add further insult to injury in the balancing act that becomes his power, Lance must be constantly vigilant. His emotions are heavily tied to his powers, becoming angered, upset, or stressed could easily trigger him to go into a blind rage that unleashes the more destructive levels of his powers. Even more, he must concentrate to regulate his body temperature, not wanting to accidentally cause mass destruction or burn himself out from constant high temperatures nor does he want to chance his temperature becoming too low his life could be put in jeopardy. Due to his fiery mutation, he requires fire retardant clothing and other material, both to avoid disaster and the smaller embarrassments such as not having clothes at all. Of course, certain elements are also his enemy, such as water, foam, dirt, etc that could weaken his abilities, and overuse can trigger symptoms of heat exhaustion, lethargy, or causing him to pass out.
Though he also bears a natural dermal armor, this armor can build up and make him slower than he already is. As a result, he must “shed” this rocky skin as a sort of molting every couple of weeks to avoid total paralysis or becoming too weighed down. But, this also leaves him vulnerable to a couple of days as it reveals a softer, slightly smooth rock-like skin beneath that is easier to harm.
Skills/Hobbies:
Since a young age, Lance has been an all-around athlete, so he has quite the peak physical conditioning. This can be especially seen in his continued practice of martial arts, having reached a black belt level in Jiujitsu and Muay Thai. He also has skills with firearms and can be seen dabbling in sketching from time to time. In his spare time, Lance is a big brainiac when it comes to fantasy, horror, and sci-fi books, comics, and movies, and has an interest in better understanding mutant kind.
History:
Lance is a Bayville local.
Hailing from the wealthy Bond family, Lance is the oldest son to Jerry and Anna Bond and older brother to Caleb Bond. Having grown up in the high-class social scene, Lance has known really nothing more than a luxurious, spoiled life but also grew up with a strict discipline from his parents nonetheless. Like many in Bayville, the then young man at the time lived in ignorance of mutants, spending his days at the modest mansion that he called home around home caretakers, his parents, or friends of his father's and mother's business partners, or local children from the gated community in which he knew. He was healthy and happy, despite the oddity of an unusually high body temperature that became the norm for him throughout life.
But ignorance is bliss for only so long.
Just before he was to turn six, the world changed forever when mutants became public knowledge. The atmosphere at home changed, and Lance grew up for many years hearing the hate and prejudice his parents had towards mutant kind, hearing all the insults under the sun. However, Lance didn't have a true stance on the matter for sometime, keeping to his own child innocence as he grew for a time, with his parents encouraging him to join sports, signing him up for martial arts, and teaching him high society etiquette and handling business, at least from his father's perspective. But over the course of these many expectations, Lance met and befriended one of the children of his family's butlers.
The child was a lizard-like mutant, often hiding under the excuse of a supposed "skin disease" to avoid issues from the Bonds. Lance though took a curious interest in the boy, the two becoming fast friends when they were nine and maintaining said friendship until the eighth grade. By then, Lance was deeply involved with sports by fourteen, but his social circles always seemed to be in constant flux with having few close friends, one of which remained the mutant boy who was his best friend. Unfortunately, the two were caught hanging out together at the local park by Caleb who had embraced the same hatred towards mutants as their parents. Once he got home that day, Lance got a furious earful from his parents, forcing him to stay away from the young mutant and firing the boy's father that same day prior to their oldest son coming home. That day cemented the oldest Bond boy's resentment to his parents and his growing interest to better understand mutants.
So too was this a time Lance began to experience unusual heat rashes whenever he became angered, stressed, or upset, starting with the verbal argument he had with his parents. Losing a dear friend, Lance tried to put his focus in his studies and his athletics to keep himself busy and occupied, the less time he was at home the better. The relationships he had with his family had soured, only more so when he began to support mutants being more open about themselves and expressing a deep desire to better know them. So, by the end of high school, Lance graduated Cum Laude with an academic scholarship, leaving Bayville for two years to pursue his AA degree at a community college a state over.
Two years later, Lance has transferred back in Bayville to the local university, expressing interest in pursuing a degree in Data Analysis and research while having also recently secured a job with his former school as a teacher's aid at Bayville High. Between his family drama, his schooling, and his new teaching job, new and old stresses alike have started to take their hold in his life in more ways than one.
First Appearance Scene: Know its been a few months, but mostly hoping to maybe just jump back into the swing of things more than do an official intro thread again! Maybe more like a re-introductory thread? Thinking a situation of his powers finally beginning to reveal themselves.
