Description

A ghoul nearing his 110th year,  Lance is old and wizened, though his demeanor is more like a man who is maybe forty-ish. He has quite a few strands of red hair still clinging to his scalp, styled in a slick comb-over. He wears a set of pre-War glasses, and he usually sports a doctor’s coat over a polo shirt, slacks, and loafers. Despite being a rotting ghoul, he expends a lot of effort into making himself look presentable.

Pastor Lance wasn’t always a holy man. Before the war, he had been a nursing student in the University of Santo Tomas. Although his own father was a Christian pastor, he didn’t believe in any sort of religious mandate or anything like that; he viewed the predominantly Catholic culture of the Philippines as backwards and stifling, so he was a self-proclaimed atheist. In his eyes, priests preaching to their congregations about how their faith in God would carry them through hardship and suffering wasn’t enough; people needed to acknowledge that Laura’s totalitarian regime was Hell on Earth, and that no amount of praying was going to fix anything.

After the bombs fell on Manila, he tended to the city’s injured alongside his classmates and professors. As more and more people died around him, Lance’s outlook on life became bleaker and bleaker - just as he was certain that the whole of humanity was doomed to die out completely, he met a young man named Pastor Bernie. The pastor had been in a small church near Mendiola when the bombs dropped; however, he had somehow lived, even when all of his neighbors had died of radiation poisoning. Pastor Bernie took this as a sign that God was protecting him – however, Lance was skeptical, and wanted to prove to him that there was a reasonable, scientific explanation for what had happened. He ended up spending a lot of time with Bernie, and the two became fast friends. Lance’s outlook on life eventually softened, thanks to Bernie’s influence – he started to believe that if people still had a heaven to look forward to and a God who was always in their corner, then they could still move forward and rebuild.

Pastor Bernie turned into a Ghoul; eventually, Lance did, as well, and they both decided to head to the old church in Mendiola and live there. Here, Pastor Bernie preaches to the ghouls and any travelers who are willing to listen to his sermons, while Lance provides those in need with his medical services. The locals of Pugad Aswang have assumed that since Lance works so closely with Pastor Bernie, he must be a pastor, as well – despite knowing nothing about preaching, he just shrugged and accepted the title.

The PC actually first encounters him when they wash up on the docks of Tondo – he was in the area to buy some supplies, and he had volunteered to help attend to the survivors of the raider attack. After he checks up on the PC, he goes back to his home in Mendiola, where the PC can eventually recruit him.

Personality

Lance is, by nature, very grounded and skeptical. He doesn’t consider himself to be especially religious, at least not by any pre-War standard – to him, to be wholly devout is to be willingly blind. His personal view on his faith is that it’s ultimately good to believe in eternal salvation and God, as long as you’re willing to actually do good things. He dislikes the notion that people can be saved as long as they just pray to be saved; God will give mercy, but the real change starts with people.

He’s painfully awkward, often coming across as rude or insensitive when he doesn’t mean to be. This causes him a great deal of anxiety – he always ends up second-guessing his interactions with others, afraid that he might have offended anyone somehow. Oftentimes, he’ll elect to not tell anyone if something is bothering him – he doesn’t want to inconvenience anybody with his complaining. He’s much more comfortable with being the guy behind the curtain, rather than the performer on stage.

Ultimately, he wants to help people, and to make Manila a better place to live in. He’s not so ambitious that he believes that he can fix everything wrong with the city – he’s content to start in small, concrete ways, like helping out in the community. He doesn’t like using violence to solve his problems, and he will only use it as a last resort.

Recruitment

Pastor Lance can be initially spoken to in the infirmary of the Mendiola Church. If the PC has a high PE or IN, they can tell that Pastor Lance is upset about something – something that he doesn’t want to talk about. With some coaxing, he will admit that he’s been getting cabin fever from being in the church all the time, and he wants to be able to help people elsewhere. However, he’s too afraid to bring it up to Pastor Bernie – he knows that Bernie is quite content to stay where he is, and he doesn’t want to disappoint him by leaving him alone.

After learning Pastor Lance’s secret, the PC can either convince him to talk to Pastor Bernie about it, or they can offer to talk to Pastor Bernie themselves. Either way, Pastor Bernie will prove to be understanding of Pastor Lance’s frustration, and will give him his blessing to leave.

Pastor Lance will happily join a PC with positive overall Karma. Pastor Lance will refuse to join a PC with overall negative Karma, or a PC with a reputation as a Child-Killer or Slaver.

Companion Features

Pastor Lance is a skill-oriented companion, particularly in the Medicine skill. He can easily craft healing items like stimpacks, first-aid kits, and doctor’s bags, as long as the PC can give him the needed components. He will also heal the PC and any party members in need of assistance during combat as long as he has an adequate amount of supplies in his inventory, though this does make him prone into running head-first into danger; it would be highly recommended that the player give him something more reinforced than his regular labcoat.

In combat, Lance prefers using close to mid-range firearms like shotguns and pistols, though he can still do a bit of damage with a melee weapon like a knife. He’s not a particularly aggressive companion – he prefers to stay close behind the player, and he will only attack if the party is attacked first. He’s not particularly great at fighting, though he can still hold his own against low to mid-level enemies.

here you go @kourumi! i drew em each with the fallout manila companion that i thought it’d be fun or them to meet… the assertive know-it-all JB and the mild-mannered pastor lance respectively

[vaultsexteen]

ah, yes... the infamous "work doodles"

[vaultsexteen]

finally sat down to write pastor lance's profile and he ended up with a husband... you go, lance

[vaultsexteen]

lance actually has red hair thanks to some recessive gene bullshit - his dad is half-white thanks to his absentee american G.I. dad and his mom has some british ancestry somewhere. he inherited a lot of his dad's features (pale skin, strong jaw, huge nose) so a lot of people at his university thought he was american.
