Backstory/Timeline

Lance was conceived during a Vulcan experiment. The Vulcans took some DNA from one of their crew and one of Ellena Firestarter, who at that time was a part of their crew, who then became the one who incubated the crossbreed in her womb. Soon after however, the ship where this experiment took place was attacked by a group of ship raiders. Ellena was able to get to an escape pod, but it seemed she was the only one. Eventually she went back to her own planet where Lance was eventually born. Soon after he was born, his mother discovered that he aged half as fast as any normal Betazoid, this caused problems later in his life. 12 years later Lance discovered his telepathic abilities, although they weren't as strong as a normal Betazoid, it was sufficient enough. During his childhood Lance learned how to be truthful, however sometimes he was too truthful. He then went to school until he was 20 years of age excelling at all the sciences although weak when it came to sports. Lance then went to follow in his mother's footsteps and went to Starbase Academy where he earned the nickname Mini-Elf because of his appearance that resembled that in Earth fantasy books and his genetic drawbacks. Some activities he did were chess and robotics.

After joining Starbase, Lance was on the USS Steadfast when a jolt of electricity effectively put him into a coma. It is unsure where the burst was an accident or planned.

Strengths

Lance excels at all sciences and tends to be fairly social. He tells the truth always and works hard to perfect himself. He also made major findings in the areas of electronics and some minor ones in biological warfare .

Weaknesses

Lance unlike his Vulcan father tends to be too emotional, due to the fact he was raised on his mother's planet. Because of his lack of interest in sports, he is weaker than the average Vulcan. Lance also lacks in the area of creativity and sometimes isn't serious enough during dangerous situations. Also, because he only ages half as fast as a normal Betazoid, he looks like a 15 year-old, which causes dissent.
