That's Chance, though I still haven't really decided on where he came from, exactly. Possibilities include him being Mike's kid with someone else, and Lance is kind of his godfather/adopted otherdad. Or Mike being transgender and Chance is their biological son, which is an odd idea that worked its way into my head somehow. But I kinda like it, tbh.

I don't ship Lance with Ilana very much at all, IF at all, but don't mind the idea of them having a child for some reason? It probably helps that it would be a super adorable kid :T

wow, I would never imagine MIKE being transgender. Maybe Lance, but I suppose Mike is kind of the uke in this relationship. XD

Well, that is the thing about being transgender. You were not comfortable with the gender you were assigned at birth, so you take measures to present yourself the way you want to be percieved. Many times the only noticeable difference is under the clothes, unless the person is transsexual as well (has had surgery).

Anyway, I think one of the things that made me think of it was thinking too much on when Octus said "he has extremely high testosterone levels." Like, Mike could have accidentally had too much T in his system at the time. I'm not enforcing this at all of course, just... having ideas. I have too much time at work to ponder the lives of cartoon characters pfff

Also I don't really like to use yaoi stereotypes like seme/uke, since they are kind of a misrepresentation of real relationships. For instance, being transgender, or any gender, does not make a person more or less dominant or submissive.

woah, sorry this got long! I guess I have a lot of feelings about gender politics. XD

Heh, no, it's cool. There are topics some of us are passionate about more than others. And yeah, I agree yaoi tends to be one big stereotype, which is why I tend to stray away from the genre... Then again, I do read a lot of shoujo <_<;

Anyhow, I'm impressed you've put so much thought into these characters, even if it may (or may not) be ooc. It's nice to see such dedicated fans. c:
