Lynn Heartwood (Duality-OCT)

NAME: Lynn Heartwood
AGE: 23
ZODIAC: Crustle
HEIGHT: 5'6"
GENDER: Female

HISTORY: Lynn was born and raised in Icirris City. She was left orphan as a young teen. Lynn spent most of her time living off her fishing in the wetlands to the east of the city. Eventually Lynn met a yanma around the lakes and became familiar with its presence. In due time, she named the yanma "Mira".

As Lynn grew older, the life style in Icirrus City became hazardous as crime rose. She heard of a rumor that a nearby guild of thieves protected and would take care of people in her situation. Knowing the guild accepted the presence of bug pokemon, Lynn took up training Mira and started learning personal defense herself.

One cold night, Lynn awoken to find thieves robbing her parents' cabin, and in quick reaction, Lynn stabbed one of the thieves in the back. As commotion broke out, the others set fire to her cabin. Lynn ran through the forest as fast as she could to escape those who then tried to kill her. Growls and hisses could be heard through the forest, but Lynn did not look back at what pokemon they sent after her. By a lakeside, she had stepped on a stunfisk hidden in the mud and yelled out a terrible scream at her crippled leg in pain. The pokemon caught up. Just as a liepard closed her in, a great roar came from the swamp as the biggest swampert she had ever seen stood over 9 feet tall and took one swing at the liepard, sending it flying into a tree. The others fled almost immediately. As Lynn began to pass out from the pain, she saw the swampert reside back into the lake.

Now living out in the woods, Mira attempted to help Lynn recover her leg by finding medical supplies (probably stolen from the towns' folk). Lynn spent months trying to connect to the giant swampert in the lake. Then suddenly one day, she heard a trainer's loudred fighting some wild pokemon. Then the swampert burst from the lake again as it became clear to Lynn that the swampert was in pain. She quickly ran to the trainer asking to silence their pokemon. Lynn then softly calmed down the swampert and the noise settled. In due time, the swampert felt the need to return the favor to Lynn for solving the worse pain it have ever felt. Lynn named her new friend Douglas.

Compelled to travel further from the city that housed thieves and murderers, Lynn gave up her dream of joining the Thieves guild that housed those type of people and train them to be stronger. Reaching Opelucid City, Lynn heard some new rumors. Living so long in the woods, she might as well been living under a rock because she wasn't aware that the country was about to break into war. Lynn did not want to accept the fact that her country Unova might become a war zone. She found a poster representing the "Rangers Guild" that trained those willing to fight for the kingdom. The poster spoke of an exam to accept new members down in Accumula Town in spring.

Lynn, along side with Mira and Douglas, met a new friend by Reversal Mountain. A numel who she named Terra. Traveling was difficult before meeting Terra. Terra was more than willing to help carry heavy supplies, as well as make make-shift homes on the road and supply heat during the winter. Finally Lynn and her team made it to Accumula. Now all there is left to do is to train for the test.

Lynn: The resourceful fisherman. Doesn't mind getting dirty (as she almost always is). Very kind and gentle as she always tries to understand people and pokemon on an emotional level. All Lynn wants is to live in a peaceful world, and she is willing to take a life or two if necessary to preserve peace for the many. She has a sour persona towards any thieves and troublemakers. Lynn holds high respect for members of the mages and knights of the kingdom because her parents were once former members.
MIRA: The lively genius. Mira is probably the smartest of the team as she is always assessing the battle field and planning out tactics on her own (I'm sure she would have done well in the thieves guild). She is incredibly fast like most yanma, but her 'bug buzz' attack has quite a kick to it rarely ever used as it irritates Douglas. Mira has an unusual high understanding of medicine that doesnt include using tynamos draining blood.
DOUGLAS: The misunderstood giant. He has a lot of honor and will protect the team at all cost. he is unusually large for his species standing 6'0"-6'6" on all fours as an average swampert is only ~4'11". And on his hind legs, Douglas can stand about as tall as a golurk. His increased size is probably the cause to his over sensitivity to sound vibration. Loud noises seem to upset him and give him a lot of pain and he will try to do anything to stop the pain, even if that means destroying the source if necessary. Douglas is an excellent fisher for the team and usually returns with a whole mouthful of fish.
TERRA: The lovable blonde. Terra is very kind and sweet, but Lynn wonders how bright she is sometimes as she tends to space out sometimes. Numels usually don't feel very much if any pain, so she is more than willing to carry the heavy loads of supplies. All this weightlifting has made her incredibly strong. Her go-to movie is her 'rock tomb' which she has learned different way to use it. Instead of lifting stones from the earth and throwing it, she found a way for remotely lifting chunks of earth and surrounding her opponent in a dome of stone. But this usually takes more time to use as she has to stretch her earth powers so far underground before unleashing it with the help of earth power.

WEAPONS: Lynn's weapons are her dagger which she keeps at her left hip, and her crossbow. She isnt the best at combat, but she has years of hunting experience under belt. She keeps a leather pouch of crossbow bolts at her right hip dipped with qwilfish toxins. Her knife sees much more fish guts rather than blood of battle
ARMOR: Lynn wears a small black iron breastplate with a cross back leather strap. Her left forearm has leather and black iron gauntlet.
SUPPLIES: Of course every fisherman needs her fishing rod. She keeps a large stash of spinarak silk and hooks in her bags. Mira as the medic has the dexterity of using the tread and hooks to stitch up and cuts or wounds. The rest of her supplies consists of basic survival gear like clothes, water canteens, wash cloths, a sleeping mat, coin pouch, pots, pans, cups, maps, paper, ink, and etc. Most of the supplies are carried on a hand knitted wool cover strapped to Terra's back, which she can take off herself by tugging on the leather strap below her neck. Newly acquired gear consists of a hand made wool bag of medical supplied like cotton, bandages, and other little tools like tweezers, which Lynn keeps over her shoulder.
