“So the new employee is Mothman?”

“Not the Mothman, c’mon now. They’re just a person. With mothy features. And paws. For some reason.”

“Where’d you find ‘em?”

“Caught the bugger wandering in the car park last night, they seemed lost, scared and hungry so I brought ‘em in and got ‘em something from the fridge, and they’ve stayed here since a couple days ago. Turns out they know a thing or two about writing programs, so I’ve kinda let ‘em stay and help us out. On a totally unrelated note, we’re out of instant noodles, should order some more.”

Idea for a little AU story for Lancer, where it’s not the zombie apocalypse, and they just happen to be a genetic experiment that escaped the lab and was taken in by the owner of a fledgling software company located in the same business park. 

In this case, they’re mute (or at least not very talkative), and their nickname comes from the fact that they took a curious interest in a Mitsubishi Lancer Evo owned by the software company’s founder.

“I tracked down the source of the biter and spitter attacks, and using the standard Logis-Tech “Turret Creep” battle tactic I was able to destroy the base. I heard a bizarre sound coming from the remains of the hive, so I went to investigate.

... It’s worse than we thought. These creatures are powered... by anime.”

Little Factorio-inspired doodle of Lancer, having discovered some... unsavoury Alien Artifacts. 

For context, in older versions there was a placeholder sprite for alien artifacts that basically looked like a JRPG character trapped in a bubble, it’s since been changed but I will fondly remember the silly days of alien waifu technology.

(Quick reupload of the picture to fix a line or two)

I’m figuring out storystuff for Lancer - more specifically his cyberpunk Shadowrun counterpart!

In this case, he runs a couple of jobs to keep the nuyen coming in - For the most part he goes by the handle “Hopper’s Bug”, acting as a hacker for teams and generally staying out of the way. He’s a pretty jovial hacker, and enjoys nothing more than using the systems he breaks into to mess with the target.

He has a separate handle, “Acherontia Atropos”, reserved for wetwork missions. He’ll only take jobs he’s comfortable doing (He might even offer a discount if it’s a target he feels is particularly deserving), and he remains rather cold and detached when carrying out the unpleasant task. That said, his playful streak isn’t entirely gone - If he can find a way to take out a target without getting close to them, or by staging it as an accident, he’ll favour those methods.

“Coulter, now that we have you where we want you, I think you owe Lancer an apology. Isn’t that right, Lancer?”

“...Farnes. Leave.”

“What-- oh. Oh god.”

“Leave NOW.”

Figured I’d doodle Lancer as they’d look facing down their abusive project lead - Scared, anxious, and downright furious.

Let’s just say Lancer isn’t very good at controlling themselves when revenge is on the table. And the room they and Coulter are in is not going to look pretty afterwards.

Just a quick handful of practice doodles of Lancer, AG-CF-172 and Chaz Serir, respectively, as they’re all fluffbutts who are involved in some form of corporate shenanigans (Lancer’s a product of the Skybreaker Initiative, AG-CF-172’s a military prototype GELF made by AndroGenus, and Chaz Serir is a technician working for Logis-Tech!)

Just a lil Cyberpunk Lancer again, wearing some kind of AR mask or somesuch. \owo/

Just an improved ref for Lancer-Form ChazMoth, because I really like this guy’s design.

In the Skybreaker setting, as previously described, Lancer-Form is ChazMoth’s upgraded form, in which they have improved combat capabilities such as leaping, better accuracy, stronger muscles... but still no will to fight. Their eyes glow red when agitated, usually they’re more afraid than angry, though.

In the Gold Leaves setting, “Lancer” is the name adopted by a rather unfortunate resident of Lasku whose body was twisted by magic. Outwardly they claim that they died and were resurrected in a Fleco shell, but when put under scrutiny nothing in that story matches up.

@ohhgoditsrabid (As Beed Serir) and myself (as Lancer-Form ChazMoth) started playing the Revenge Of The C-Team minecraft modpack (The official 1.7.10 sequel to “Attack Of The B-Team”) yesterday. I reassured him that although the Weather 2 mod was in the pack, tornadoes wouldn’t be a concern.

2 tornadoes in as many days afterwards, and I now look like Michael Fish.
