Character Name: Lance
Series: Pokemon Heart Gold & Soul Silver
Canon Point: Just before his dual battle with Clair against Gold and Silver.
Summary/History: Bulbapedia
Personality: Head canon history is also included here!
Lance is a native of Johto, born and bred in Blackthorn city, where the infamous Dragon Clan resides. In fact, he is a member of the Dragon Clan himself, his grandfather being the elder. From a young age, Lance was recognized as a prodigy among the dragon masters of his clan. He had a gift for training the mighty dragon types that his clan preferred, much to the dismay of his cousin, Clair. His first Pokemon was a Dratini, gifted to him by his grandfather, and he diligently raised the Pokemon into the Dragonite it is today. Lance's talent was always a subject of contempt with his cousin, her jealousy being constantly fueled by the fact that he was better than her. He personally doesn't have anything against her, but due to her jealousy, their relationship is a bit strained. This came to a head when Lance successfully completed the Dragon User's Challenge, while Claire did not. Lance went on to become a great trainer, eventually a member of the elite four and after that, the champion. Lance's parents were also killed by rampaging Gyarados when he was young. While traumatic, this helped to spur his determination even more in taming the most difficult Pokemon the world had to offer.
His talents, fame, popularity, and success, actually bred some arrogance into the young man as he quickly ascended the ladder into elitehood. At the time, he saw his Pokemon more as objects to get him to his goal, rather than friends and companions. That is until one fateful day, when a pair of young trainers from Kanto challenged him. The second one was what really got to him though. Not only was he beaten twice in a row, but there was something different about Red, who genuinely cared about his Pokemon. This experience humbled Lance considerably. He started to take his Pokemon more seriously, as in being kinder to them and raising them in a more loving manner. They thrived under this attention, which led him to eventually becoming the Indigo League's champion himself. No longer did he really care about titles or importance, instead he was a champion and advocate for the wellfare of Pokemon. He became a sort of permanently placed champion, taking on challenges from trainers all around the world, while also participating in the administration of the Indigo League.
A few years after his encounter with Red, Team Rocket would return. While before he hadn't really cared much about the nefarious criminal organization, things had now changed. Lance took it upon himself to investigate when suspicious activities started happening around Lake Rage, where he also encountered another trainer named Gold. He explained to Gold that he was a trainer like himself, not revealing his true identity as champion, and asking for his help. When discovering that a radio signal in Mahogany Town was causing the Magikarp to forcefully evolve, they both infiltrated the hidden Rocket base and worked together to shut it down. When it was seen that Gold was doing well, he even held back and simply watched as Gold finished them off. Lance wouldn't see Gold again until the boy came to challenge him at the Plateau, where he was again defeated. However, this time he wasn't at all surprised and was in fact happy to witness the rise of a great new champion. Though Gold ended up declining the position as Red had, leaving him in the champion's seat.
In summary, Lance is actually a kind individual. He cares deeply for not only his, but all Pokemon. When he meets Silver, he is quick to point out the boy's faults and gives him a speech about how to care for his Pokemon properly. He was genuinely distressed by Silver's attitude towards his Pokemon, as it reminded him of when he was younger. Not wanting the boy to make the same mistakes he did, Lance has taken it upon himself to try and be a mentor to him. However, he does take training very seriously, and is constantly trying to improve himself and his Pokemon. He does have a reputation to uphold after all. A reputation that has earned him quite a bit of fame as a cool, heroic trainer who is among the best in the world. He is also expected to one day take over as the leader of the Dragon Clan, once his grandfather passes away. Something he also takes very seriously, and even sentimentally keeps the dragon fang on his person, that was his reward for successfully completeing the Dragon User's Challenge. The man isn't without his quirks though, and he's well known in Celadon for his cape fetish. He goes there periodically to buy identical capes from the department store. Lance can also come across as pretty imposing and intimidating if he wants to, which can be backed up by the fact that he trains giant dragons. While mostly serious and mild mannered, he does come from a clan of dragon masters. Lance has a long fuse, but when its gone, watch out. He's got a flaming temper to match his red hair, with a ferocity to match any dragon. Yet he also has a bit of a sensitive side, one that he hides very well. Being a celebrity is rather lonely after all. He's also quite friendly and personable to those he likes. He'll speak up when he feels he needs to, but back off when it's clear his opinion is not needed.

Lance himself has no special powers and abilities to speak of. The best he has for personal self defense are some martial artes skills but that's about it. His real strength comes from his Pokemon. He will be arriving with three: Dragonite, Charizard, and Gyarados.
