Early History
Lance was born into a poor family on Circumstance, having nearly no money. He lived in a foster home for most of his life and his foster parents were just as bad as the ones he was saved from when he was little. Thus, Lance mostly raised himself, staying as far away from his home as he could and teaching himself the way of the world.

His thirst for adventure got him into much trouble, constantly missing school to go explore some nook or cranny he discovered. Due to his families lack of money, he also took to thieving, he was caught three years after he began in 2519 when he decided he wanted to risk pick pocketing a police officer.

Lance tried to go straight afterwards, though his thirst for adventure never ended. At age eighteen, he immediately signed up for the marine corps, hoping to see as many new and interesting places as he could.

In boot-camp, his skill with a rifle was noted by the drill instructors and he was quickly tested for a marksman role. He passed with flying colors and was made a designated marksman when he left boot-camp.

Operation: TREBUCHET
After joining, Lance was stationed on Coral to aid in stabilizing a rebellious city on the planet. He saw nearly no action but he did meet his future fiance while on leave in the city. Ever since, he has only taken his leave on Coral to see her.

Eventually, his unit was transferred over to New Madrigal when it was decided that the city was properly pacified, around two years later. McFly saw no action there as well, besides an event where he was ordered to provide covering fire on a possible snipers nest in the city. No sniper was found, and he had never saw one in the building.

Finally he was promoted to lance corporal, and he requested transfer to a new place to explore. Lance was moved to Second Base where he has been since. On October 10th, preparing to go back to Second Base when his leave ended, he proposed to his girlfriend. The wedding is planned for the moment his tour ends.
