Background: Lance grew up with his parents Cindy, a ballet instructor, and Georg, a martial arts instructor. But while Lance followed the athletic example of his parents by learning a variety of sports, he soon developed a knack for tactical games. Starting out with Chess and Go, he soon found them too restricting, too abstract, and so he moved on to battle simulations - both historical and fictional, and preferably played against his friends. Considering his interest, his decision to join Starfleet is not surprising, as it would allow him to test his skills against reality. His athletic family background payed off when he joined the Academy's fencing group: by combining the efficiency of martial arts with the elegance of ballett, he became soon one of the groups promiment show fencers. As such, he performed several times on Academy celebrations. The same qualities also earned him the nickname "Erroll" after the Academy's acting group asked him to take the lead role in their re-enactment of a historical Swashbuckler movie. After graduating from Starfleet Academy, Lance spent the next two years as ENS on the USS Hilbert. His true potential surfaced when the USS Hilbert was ambushed by pirates while most of the crew was on shore leave. Lance was returning from leave himself when he discovered the ambush going on. Unable to contact any superior, he commandered the two shuttles of his group through a series of fake attacks. These guerilla tactics distracted the pirates enough for the USS Hilbert to bring her combat systems fully online. Lance was commended for his initiative, and at the same time reprimanded for the victory roll he flew while docking his shuttle. He was then send to attend the Advanced Battlegroup Tactics School. On his second cruise, Lance served as LTjg on the USS Hecate in the TAC department. On a Recon away mission, the team stumbled into the stronghold of a smuggler operation. In the ensuing fight, the officer commanding the team was incapacitated and cut off from the rest of team. Lance assumed command of the team and, despite heavy suppression fire, personally led a successfull rescue attempt of said officer. This action earned him his second commendation. On his next assignment on the USS NOVA, Lance was able to play a significant role in thwarting the actions of a rogue Dalriadan ship which intended to start a Federation-Romulan war by deploying stolen Romulan bioweapons on a Federation planet. However, during the following mission Lance wasn't fully tasked, and he let his boredom affect how he fulfilled his duties: while not shirking his tasks, he didn't exactly set a good example of enthusiasm for his subordinates. Given the choice to either clean up his act or being transferred to a smaller unit, Lance chose the latter. In his assignment to the USS AJAX with its role to show force in the Gideon cluster area. Lance' romantic life is dominated by passionate, but short-lived involvements. However, for the most part he parted from his thenwhile partners on good terms and is still friends with them. OFFICIAL STAR FLEET RECORD SKILLS PROFILE Lance' gift is tactical awareness - on both large and small scale. This qualifies him both for TAC on star ships as well as for commanding away teams: Unarmed Combat Starship Tactics Battlegroup Tactics Small Unit Tactics Starship Combat Systems Lance easily gets bored by the more mundane aspects of his duty (paperwork being the prime example) and doesn't like playing by the book. His tendency towards showmanship sometimes causes him to take unnecessary risks. RECENT FITNESS REPORT Overall: 110% "LTjg Flynn is in remarkable shape and has excellent body control. Starfleet can hold itself lucky that LTjg Flynn didn't chose to become a professional athlete instead." (LT James Thoburn, Physical Instructor, 2413) RECENT PSYCHOLOGIAL REPORT "LTjg Flynn's extroverted nature easily hides the dedicated and thorough officer he really is. He has a tendency for grand gestures and showing off, but only when he is sure that he can deliver true to his words. While this behaviour has the potential of causing friction on smaller units, LTjg Flynn takes no offence in being shown his limits, so any problems should be only temporary and easily handled by his CO." (Dr. Howard Berkey, CNS, 2414) RECREATIONAL ACTIVITIES Fencing (traditional, show and modern) Acrobatics "Classical" Music (listening, not playing) Holonovels ADDITIONAL INFORMATION Lance secret wish is to be a hero like in the old pirate movies: handsome, dashing, fending off the enemies with the right while holding the maiden fair in the left. But since he knows that in the Space Age there won't be much chance for that (except in the occasional bar fight), he does the next best thing and adopts this stance for his work as officer: he not only aims to achieves his objectives, he also strives to do so with style and panache. Lance owns a cat called "Hook".
