1985. JANUARY 8TH, 1985. carson was born 3 years after his brother, ryan, making him the youngest of the pair. carson has always admired his older brother, loves him dearly, even after they more or less had a falling out in their adulthood that lead to them not speaking to each other for multiple years.
1989. DECEMBER 19TH, 1989. carson and ryan’s parents both died in a car accident when carson was 4 years old. they were both in the car with them when it happened, though the impact was mostly to the front of the vehicle and left them mostly unscathed save for a few cuts and bruises. most of the first responders considered them lucky to be alive.
after the accident, there were no living family members to take them in for care and thus they were put into the fostercare system. they refused to be separated and went through foster home after foster home. ryan mostly took care of carson during that time of their life, a lot of the homes weren’t good placements for them and they were returned to the custody of the state after usually only a couple of months in a home.
on more than one occasion, both boys were placed within unfortunate circumstances within a home and it caused carson and ryan both to “act out.” they get into trouble for stealing to feed themselves, “misbehaving” around the house, and various outside petty crimes and are labeled troublemakers and in need of special placements as far as homes go. there are more than a few occasions where these petty crimes they commit land them in a juvenile detention center for a couple of weeks at a time, but to them at least it was better than staying in a shitty foster home.
2003. eventually, they are aged out of the system. ryan first, and he tries to legally gain guardianship of his younger brother but never succeeds. instead he finds “steady” work, sending carson money for himself and to build upon as he continues to get older, and tells him that he’ll be there for him once he’s out of the system.
however, newly 18 and fresh out of the system, barely outside of that shitty system for more than a few months and carson gets involved with the wrong people and into trouble for another petty crime, but this one with far more serious penalties, especially in regards to his past. carson is picked up and charged to do a fair amount of time, a few months with good behavior, in jail.
ryan, after hearing that his brother had been pinched on a petty crime that had very little to do with him, went to the only person he knew to turn to for help. his boss, vincent -- better known to his people as v. ryan knew that the path he was involved in was not the prettiest, and he did his best to keep carson out of the loop, wanted him never to see the truth of ryan's life outside of the system and where he had been getting his money, but he was desperate. carson was a good kid, he knew it. but he couldn’t live a life behind bars, ryan couldn’t stand by and let that happen. though what he thought was helping only turned out to be carson's nightmare
carson would go on to make the deal with the devil. in exchange for meeting his bail and vouching for him in order to get him out of jail, carson signed over his life to v and his services. its a decision he later goes on to regret in his life, one that he tries desperately to ignore and forget. to escape. though the past is always hardest to run from.
THE INTRODUCTION OF (V) THE VIPER & THE DESTRUCTION OF CARSON LANCASTER
2003. v came to carson during the most vulnerable time in his life. he was newly 18, just been caught for a petty crime he had very little in committing, rather a wrong place wrong time circumstance, and been sentenced to a maximum of one year of jail time based upon his record (would have been only a few months with good behavior).
v came to him with an offer, made it seem like the easiest thing in the world to say yes to him. like there would be nothing else to it, no prices to pay. v was gentle, was kind and understanding when he talked with carson. he told him that he understood that he was scared and nervous, that carson was right to question his motives but he would do his best to prove that he was well worth the time and, better than that, good on his word.
carson knew he couldn’t pass it up, not with talk like that. there was never a better offer going to come his way, especially one that kept him out of doing jailtime now. v was his best option and the deal was fading fast
just as v had begun to stand up to leave, his offer going with him, carson agreed. service for his freedom.
2009. years go by and carson is head of v’s divisions. carson sees the most action, he is the one v turns to when a deal needs to be sought through, when money needs to be collected, when he needs someone to accompany him in meetings, particularly ones that he plans to have go awry. carson is his dirty work man. against, of course, ryans wishes.
at first carson doesn’t realize that its happening. there are a few things here and there, going with him to meetings and making sure that he doesn’t get hurt, keeping money stashed on him for “safe keeping,” and every now and again having to be the one to drive unconscious souls to an unknown location, miles and miles outside city limits. but then it becomes more frequent, v’s orders become more direct. by year 2, carson understands his position within the organization well
v takes a liking to carson after the first few months, that carson begins to learn rather quickly when he climbs that social ladder, closer to v than even his personal body guard. v tells carson everything, shows him his plans far in advance, tells him about his expanding empire and how the city relies on people like them, that without the cycle of revenue, without politicians needing money to back their campaigns, there would be no cities or skyscrapers or progress. only dust.
however v has a temper and once that limit has been reached, the rage is blinding. carson has tested that rage many times before, but only ever a couple of times to the point where knowing the true wrath had put him in his place again. v would also tend to hold grudges for long periods of time, and with carson instead of it coming out verbally or in any actions to ruin him, v marked him. many times. each time he lit a cigarette, a price had been paid for at least a couple of weeks. v’s marked on carsons skin. a reminder of who he belonged to, of whose orders he followed to the bone.
burning carson is not the only form of punishment he dished out. sometimes, carson was handed off to others for “business propositions.” he did other peoples dirty work.
2012. escaping v was perhaps the hardest thing carson had ever done. after all of the bodies he had buried, all the blood on his hands, all of the abuse he had suffered through, the torment, carson had enough. to the point where a prison sentence to escape him felt right, where he ignored the help that any lawyer tried to offer him, as most of them had been under v’s payroll. caught after following the last order he would ever follow from him, the last person he would ever tortured for v, and it landed him in prison. a full circle. at a minimum of 10 years with the availability of probation (as he wasn’t alone and hadn’t been the main torturer), though he served 8 and was released on good behavior.
though he is never truly free. instead, he is on borrowed time and he knows it. v never lets anyone go, not alive anyway. ryan may have temporarily stalled his death by taking his place in exchange for leaving him out of that life, but carson knows its one deal he can’t keep for long. the man that is carson lancaster has died twice. once when v took him in, and the last will be final and by the hands of v himself.
2012 - CURRENT. coming soon.
AUTHORS NOTE
in various versions of his canon, carson does die. eventually. but if or when is dependent mostly upon plots. he expects this, almost. carson does manage to live a good life despite the fact that there is always a target on his back, always eyes on him in some way. maybe he manages to settle down, should a partner be able to live with that life and the person he used to be, with that truth, but he wouldn’t ask anyone to be okay with it so… its all mostly dependent. carson becomes the martyr for his brother.
MAIN , follows his biography. carson is a man trying to live a life after escaping from crime, mostly trying to let go of the fact that he has done some bad things in favor of someone else and now must live with the consequences.
SECONDARY , follows biography but instead of being "on borrowed time," carson actually gets free of vince and starts a whole new life elsewhere. he and ryan both get out and away from vince and live the rest of their lives as far away from him as they can get. carson works as a mechanic in most circumstances. ryan takes up odd jobs where he can find them.
SUPERNATURAL , carson still technically gets wrapped up in a criminal underworld, but not a human kind. v in this case is a very powerful, very highly ranked demon that commands multiple legions of other demons, but keeps carson specifically human so that he can lure other humans and hunters into deals. he comes into contact with v through a deal of his own that he made, foolishly, in his early 20s to get himself and his brother out of trouble. only two years later, much sooner than what carson thought he agreed to, the deal came time to be paid and his soul was dragged to hell. details will vary dependent on plot.
THE BOYS , warning: this verse will contain mentions or will imply prostitution. please, tread carefully. vincent is a business partner to vought. whatever vought needs, vince will provide. security? done. need someone to disappear? done. guys or girls to entertain the supes, the higher ups? drugs? done and done. vince has a large investment stock at vought international and he isn’t going to allow it to go belly up, even if he has to get his hands a little dirty. and that is where carson comes in, he’s the one who gets his hands dirty. sometimes, as a little extra good faith, or when he is simply given a good closure to a deal, carson will spend a night with those who need his services, though for double the price of a job. carson is both business and entertainment.
