Rance


 * Note: This article is about the fictional character named Rance. For games that are titled Rance, see Category:Rance series.

Rance is the name of a character as well as the title of a series of games featuring the same character. His lastname is unknown. On a note of sexual innuendo, the term "Lance" also translates into the identical Japanese word.

Rance is a Rank level 2 swordsman. A kichiku warrior by nature, he is motivated by sexual instincts instead of love or justice. He lives in the a small town named Ice, of the Free Cities, and is member of the local Keth Guild, taking on various odd jobs when money runs out. He has a slave named Sill Plain, and owns a humanoid artificial lifeform named Athena 2.0.

His heroics have saved three out of the four major nations in the world from being conquered by Demons, as well as helping quite a number of damsels in distress. On the other hand, his impulsive sex drive has, to put it extremely mildly, scarred quite a number of young women for life.

In one of the non-canon ending of Sengoku Rance Rance has rally, Leazas, Free Cities Alliance, Helman, Zeth and JAPAN against the demon army in The Demon Realm

Unconfirmed trivia
Once upon a time, the Japanese H-game magazine "TECHGIAN" had a ranking to let the readers vote for their favorite H-game character. For a year, Rance held the first place. Then TECHGIAN changed the ranking to "your favorite H-game heroine", disqualifying Rance. (Source: 2-ch, "ランスシリーズ　その１５１" thread, posts 552~560)
