Loose Headcanons

Drivers wear the pants in the relationship, as Drivers have a higher ranking.

Lancers are chosen/picked by the Drivers, but Lancers can and will court their preferred Driver.

There's no official day for Drivers to pick new Lancers. As spaces in their crew/on their rigs open, Drivers will pick from the available pool of Lancers. Drivers learn a Lancer's reputation from gossip and word-of-mouth and vouching. Drivers will also watch a Lancer to see for themselves how good or bad a Lancer is.

A Lancer that's eager for a particular Driver to pick them will try to get friendly with that Driver's crew and find any opportunity to show off their skills and strengths when that Driver is around.

Lancers are all very possessive of their Driver.

Lancers easily outnumber Drivers by a long ways, because the Citadel is constantly training far more Lancers than Drivers, as the turnover rate for Lancers is higher and there's very often multiple Lancers paired to one Driver/Rig.

Lancers are also very protective of their Driver, as without a Driver the Lancer can't do war.

Drivers also tend to be possessive of their Lancers, especially if their Lancers are skilled.

Lancers typically make their own thundersticks, with each Lancer having a signature style that matches their throwing technique. There's also the standard thunderstick that gets churned out by the shops to load onto the big rigs for surplus and redundancy.

Drivers and Lancers are expected to sleep together, especially one to one pairings.

A lot of small Driver & Lancer(s) teams do damn near everything together, the one to one pairs tend to be very codepdant.
