Lance (Hermes/Hades)

Biography
Lance was born to the extremely wealthy Athens family of Iroas Harbor. The Athens were a long standing high class family in Iroas Harbor, with generations of them being integral in the city’s economy and government since its original founding. Lance himself was a happy kid growing up. He attended private school and had quite a few friends. He was on his way to continue his family’s legacy. This all changed though when his parents died.

Death of Parents
While out to dinner with his parents, Lance witnesses a pair of men fighting. Being the type of man that he was, Lance’s father intervened and stopped the fight. This turned out to be a mistake sadly.

When the family got home Lance’s mother laid him down to sleep but that did not last long. A man from the fight broke in and disabled the alarm system before the family butler, Johnathan Ketchwood, noticed his presence. Johnathan was knocked unconscious before the intruder was met by Lance’s parents. There was further struggle which woke up Lance. Lance walked down the stairs just in time to see the intruder kill his mother, his father already dead across the room. The man moved toward Lance but was stopped when Johnathan regained consciousness and attacked him. Johnathan fought with the family’s attacker and killed him, all while Lance watched. Lance was never the same again.

Mental Breakdown
After witnessing his parent’s murder, Lance became very detached from those around him. His mind was fragile for years until when his powers manifested. It was the final burden that snapped Lance’s psyche and created two separate personalities, Hermes the runner and Hades the fiery brute. Johnathan took care of these personas, as he did the Athens family for decades, and guided them into heroic work. All unbeknownst to Lance himself, who just thought he was not sleeping well. It took time but Johnathan managed to convince Lance to seek help and receive medication. The medication helped manage the alternate personalities but when Lance grew tired of taking them and stopped; his moments of missing time resurged and became more noticeable.

Hermes
Much like the Ancient Greek God of the same name he is the speedy trickster of the three personalities.

Hades
The fiery menace of the three, he is more of a anti-hero than an actual hero. His mania and rage tends to cause many issues.

Powers
''Although Lance does eventually gain some control over his other personality’s abilities, this list will be split into the original entities. (Note: Lance’s ultimate weakness is his uncontrollable personality shifts and shifting powers.)''

Strengths
-         Ability to move at superhuman speed, leaving a red blur behind him from the red elements of his costume.

-         Healing speed is slightly increased over average human.

Weakness
-         Although most known speedsters have the ability to heal fast due to their speed. Since Hermes is one of three personalities, this power is weakened meaning anything lethal to a standard human is also lethal to him.

Strengths
-         With the rock skin that forms in his transformation, he has a resistance to bullets

-         He has a resistance to all sources of heat up to 2500 degrees Fahrenheit except Phantasma’s special fire

-         The burning embers beneath his rock like skin allow him to generate and control fire, except Phantasma’s flames

-         Has Olympian strength that manifests from his rage

Weaknesses
-         Due to his endless rage and mania, Hades is unpredictable. He mostly service justice, not harming the general public, but he does often use excessive force. He strikes fear in criminals with the threat of death, no matter their crime.
