Lance Yeager
18
Male
Egriffin
Lance stands at 5’6” and weighing in at 170 pounds. Years of working on the Defiance alone and a structured workout regimen used by his father while he was a pilot for the Egriffin military. Despite his thin look, he is very muscular.
As for his clothing, he keeps it simple with black trousers and tee shirt and boots. He also wears the red jacket above. On his belt he has a few pouches for the more important/used tools he needs to service the Defiance. He doesn’t really change this style much as he only has a duffel bag to live out of.
While piloting the Defiance He wears the pilot suit shown below. Which was designed for him by his mother.
Lance grew up happily in the Egriffin Empire, He had many friends and a loving mother and father. His father was a well respected pilot/technician within the Empire’s army. Who also came through a long line of pilots dating back to the major war two hundred years ago.
However, his family held an amazing secret. Lance was a descendant of the man who piloted the Defiance. A legendary Magecha that appeared near the end of the war two hundred and helped bring an end to the fighting. It didn’t fight for a kingdom though. Instead, it fought for the Citizens of both the countries. Fighting both the Griffin empire and Kingdom of Westeria.
Despite being outnumbered many times, it would always come out victorious. Thus receiving the name Defiance. Defiance was one of the last of the First Generation of Valkyr, a prototype of the Vallhalla Corporation that was designed for operating deep in enemy territory as an aggressive Recon Magecha. Meant to be quick and tough, focused on Guerrilla warfare. However it was abandoned due to complications of not being able to make it work with normal Monster Magecha, requiring more rare ones. A cost not Feasible to the Corporation.
Put into mothballs, only to be stolen a few weeks later by Lances Ancestor. Who wanted the war to end as soon as possible, and save as many lives as he could. The Crimson Magecha Defiance became a Legend, and disappeared soon after. Thought destroyed, but it was hidden because his ancestor thought it too powerful to get into any countries hands.
Lance was able to work on this magecha with his father, keeping it updated with the newest systems they could get their hands on, keeping it from falling apart. He soon came to know every square inch to Defiance.
Lance also joined the Academy to become a pilot when he was 17. A prodigy, like his father, he excelled over all the other students. He did have a problem conforming (though he hid it) to swearing fealty to only the emperor. Which, with a family history of what he had, it was hard to do. Inspired by his ancestor morals.
He dropped out of the Academy soon after and half a year later, the war broke out. No longer part of the military he saw the immediate effect it had on the citizens. The cities the two kingdoms fought over, destroying everything in their path basically. Including his own home town. Thousands of citizens dead and more wounded while caught in the crossfire. His father was Killed while fighting for the Empire in that battle...and his mother as well, crushed by Magecha that was knocked into their home.
Filled with Rage, and despite his father telling him not to before he departed, Lance took the Defiance out of hiding and into battle. The ancient Magecha tore through the battlefield once again, just as it did 200 years ago. He killed most of the Magecha’s from the Kingdom of Westeria in his rage of losing both his father and mother. Afterwards though, he did feel regret for the lives he took. Remembering the stories of his ancestor, he wanted to be more like him. Lance did have some trouble in his first battles, especially when he didn’t want to kill. but with a bit of Luck, and his innate skills. He managed to win quite a few battles. The pilots, on both sides, started to spread the stories of Defiance once again.
Rallying Cry- Increases strength and speed of the user and his allies while giving slight repreve of any injuries received recently.
Alter self- User can pick a target (magecha or living being) and Alter his form for a minute. It cannot copy abilities, but scanners and visual instruments cannot tell the difference between the two. He can use this a few times in a single battle, but has to wait a bit in between.
Self Recovery-This spell mends the damage done to physical bodies, be it flesh or steel. The effects are instantaneous and can often undo debilitating conditions such as poison, diseases, and other forms of damage over time, especially if those conditions are fairly recent. More severe or older injuries need to use a higher level of Pneuma to have any effect, with severe injuries requiring less Pneuma compared to older wounds.

Edit: I’ll be editing the history a little and adding more here and there delving more into why he shouldn’t kill and why he’s a prodigy. Just wanted to get this up as it’s basically finished.
Also will add what he’s doing the past few months
