Talk:Lancelot Kane

Hello, I have new lore additions for Lancelot Kane pertaining to her rivalry with Wyatt Pothos, some of the activities she's doing in breck, and her shadowing.

Summary of Additions:

-Addition of her rival, Wyatt Pothos, and her fan nickname, "Lancey", to her infobox

-Minor rewrite of the trivia about her household and her disappointment in Arthurian food to mention that Lancelot is Punjabi

-New trivia about being the same height as Pothos and about being a polyglot

-Kane became friendly but fierce Sapphic Splorts rivals with Wyatt Pothos

-Kane became the "Lowe Wrangler", a player responsible for keeping Lowe Forbes out of trouble

-Kane was briefly trapped in a time loop by a helmet in Season 21, as mentioned on Spears Rogers' page

-Kane struggled with the loss of several teammates while she was Elsewhere, and is near-completely scattered.

Suggesting the removal of the empty pseudo-IRM box at the bottom of the page, in line with similar removals on pages of other current and recently-former Jazz Hands players and with wiki standards.

Lancey has a part in the A Dramatic Entrance of Spear's wiki, on the longest thursday she seemed to be stuck in a Time Loop, hitting the same Foul Ball over and over, this coincided with Spears' first game and as we had just lored Spears as being dramatic, so this worked out well as something that Spears would do to make hys first game interesting.

I am presenting the following changes to the existing article: Swapping instances of players' first names for their last names as appropriate, addition of links to mentioned players, and renaming the section "The Jazz Hands" to "Breckenridge Jazz Hands." The content itself will remain unchanged, I think it's all good and very nice writing, just needs some standardization to wiki format that is a little more extensive than housekeeping but doesn't entail rewriting anything.

I also plan on adding Lancelot's pronouns and instrument to her infobox, as entailed in the original summary posted by Bee and the text of the existing article.

On the official Blaseball Discord, the JH had a lore jam and have come up with the following as a starting point for Lancelot:

Lancelot "Lancey" Kane (she/her)

• Lancelot is an actor-turned-time-travelling-knight-turned-blaseball player, as well as the team's designated Lowe Wrangler™.
• Most notably, while performing a role as a knight in one of the Pocket's plays, she donned a set of armor found in the prop room that resulted in her being sent back to Arthurian Times.
• While there, her acumen for the physical and charismatic roles of a knight were unmatched, though she more than struggled with the customs of the time. * Additionally, while there, she met Mikan Hammer, resulting in them forming a close relationship.
• Lancey also courted Queen Guinevere, and with Arthur uninterested in an open relationship, brought about the fall of Camelot.
• Following the incineration of Bauer Zimmerman, Mikan realizes that now is the time to bring Lancelot back, and performs the summoning ritual - thrusting her back to the Blaseball Era™, though a considerable amount of time has passed since she left (~20 years seems to be the desired amount).
• As a result, she's dealing with a considerable amount of culture shock, mostly in that she's a theatre kid who missed out on /years/ of media (but also being yanked back in forth through time is a Lot To Handle). She does find solace in other Hands, especially Liquid.
• Instruments: Plays both her Oboe, which was taken into the Bolter's custody when she was sent back in time and kept for her return, as well as Gabriel's Horn - a geometric figure proposed by Kathy and made physical by Mikan.

To follow up, we've voted and codified the above lore block for her!

Based on the previous lore block, I've written a sample wiki entry for Lancelot. It can be found here: Google doc Some notable changes include:

• Explicitly stating Lancelot and Mikan were in a romantic relationship
• Explicitly mentioning Lancelot was born in the 1970s
• Adding the following trivia points based on conversations in various lore channels:
  • Lancelot grew up in a household that used a lot of spice, and was distressed to find out just how bland food was during Arthurian times. After coming back she ate so much spicy food she passed out.
  • Lancelot used to babysit Jazz Hands player Walton Sports before being thrown back in time. Walton is disturbed by the fact that his former babysitter is now younger than him, calling it “downright strange”.
  • Before time travelling, Lancelot played the Oboe, and her instrument was kept safe by the Bolter until her return. She also plays Gabriel's Horn - a geometric figure proposed by Kathy and made physical by Mikan.
  • Upon arriving in the present, Lancelot was disturbed to realise that her parents had named her after the great hero of legend, meaning she was named after ‘’’herself’’’
