Vance Lingolin (Gerosha Gaming Universe)

Vance Lingolin is an employee of Sleet Mountain in the Blood Over Water Story Pack for The Sims 3, also appearing in The Sims 4: Oughties Big Rapids Living Stuff. He is a romantic interest for Monica; as well as a coworker with Chris Kennal, Ashley Phillips, Kyle Tugrass, and Mark Stefflin. He is a variant of his Earth-G7 counterpart, also known as Vance Lingolin. While the main version of this Vance is expected to follow a similar life trajectory to his literary main form, copies of this Vance in a player's game may see their pocket world push him in a different direction, per player choices.

Character bio
Vance wished that Monica would see the beauty of life that he saw; that it would keep her from getting bored. He also was passionate about fighting what he thought made the world truly ugly.

Vance was among those workers that were called into Clyde's office one day, and offered a chance to "be more, and make more." Yet, Vance felt that something didn't add up. He was hesitant, whereas the others weren't. He began snooping around. What he saw, reviled him. He needed more evidence to prove it was as bad as he thought it to be; but he learned the full extent of the plan to defraud the EPA. He just couldn't prove what the videos were. The secrecy of those transporting them, however, suggested what was on those videos being sent to the bottling plant was nothing good.

He was excluded from another meeting: where Clyde got Chris, Mark, Kyle, and George to know their plan better, in a way so as to ensure that the kickbacks from fraud would go to them. Vance later was interrogated by Clyde as to why he wouldn't support the plan, and why he didn't vote to be part of the measure. Vance stormed out, noticing Mark present and demanding to know how Mark could so casually go along with it.

This touched Mark, who didn't have an answer right away. Clyde wasted no time firing Vance as he fled the building. Also, Clyde made a call to George, who was at the nearby Fatbelly store. Vance was never again seen alive. Aaron)'s mentioning of Monica's determination to find out why Vance would torch his car and leave town, after saying he was about to die, convinced Mark to do his own snooping around. Mark learned about Gleeful-N'-Young, and what the real purpose of storing the videos in the one vault room was. He nearly vomited up his own stomach with disgust!

Yet, Mark felt that the safer route to go would be to steal documents that proved that cleanup fraud was happening. This plan proved to be a mistake, however. Clyde noticed that the copy machine ran out of toner sooner than anticipated - and that one of the papers in the original folder pertaining to the case...was not put back in the same order as before! Mark's becoming less talkative at work was also a clue that something was up.

Clyde immediately set to work to eliminate the traitor. But he'd need to be cunning; to play the workers against each other! Clyde would be damned if he lost everything, solely because Vance gave someone a conscience!

Trivia

 * This version of Vance actually came out before his proper Earth-G7 counterpart's role had been properly written, and became the basis for that one's bio.
 * In spite his Earth-G5 counterpart being important to the backstory supplemental materials for the original miniseries, Vance himself in that version never once appeared on screen, making this version the character's first official visual debut.
 * The character's role was originally going to be more villainous; but that changed over time, as George's backstory was improved. Instead, he exists to give Monica a love interest and become a catalyst for a selfish man like Mark to put his life on the line to expose Sleet Mountain - thus existing to fill plot holes in the miniseries.
