## Biography

### "Ya Dead, Ya Dead"

*"Matt Bragg's gonna totally live to be, like, 96."
"I think Lindsay might be right. I think he might defy everyone. It won't be a **good** 96, it'll be torture."*
―Lindsay Jones and Geoff Ramsey[src]
Lindsay spawned into the world with the rest of the Achievement Hunters. Lindsay immediately began gathering wood from a nearby tree before destroying the leaves. They told the other Hunters that they were honored to be included in the season, briefly misspeaking, which was poked fun of by Geoff Ramsey.

Geoff offered to build the Hunters a base for the night, and Lindsay offered to help him finish it. Lindsay watched as their husband Michael Jones was nearly killed by an exploding Creeper, and thanked the water he was in for saving him, comparing it to *Moana*. When Geoff stated that he believed Lindsay would die first, Lindsay agreed with him. They then planted a sapling on top of the nearly-completed base before humping it to make it grow, forgetting that they weren't playing the ***Sky Factory 3*** mod anymore.

When the topic then shifted to which Achievement Hunter would die first in real life, Lindsay suggested that Matt Bragg would live a long life, which Michael disagreed with. However, Geoff agreed that Matt would live a long life, which would not be pleasant, before comparing Matt to Joe Bonham from *Johnny Got His Gun*. When Geoff mentioned that the novel was the inspiration for the Metallica song "One", Lindsay asked if it contained the lyric "sleep with one eye open" before being corrected that they were referring to "Enter Sandman". Lindsay then discovered Trevor Collins and Alfredo Diaz attacking a group of Sheep and asked them what they were doing.

Night began to fall, so Lindsay returned to the Hunters' base, impressed with the progress that had been made on it in the Hunters' short time in the world. They pointed out their sapling, the Sap of Life, to Michael, who had re-planted it after Geoff accidentally destroyed it. Lindsay entered the base and slept in one of the nine white beds, and while waiting for Ryan Haywood to come back from mining iron, Lindsay agreed to a betting pool on who would die first. When Ryan finally got into a bed and slept, the group celebrated making it through their first night.

While on their way to gather more wood, Lindsay said hello to Jeremy Dooley. Once they were done, Lindsay took their gathered wood to the group's base. They asked Alfredo if he wanted to trade for Sticks, but as he already had some, the trade was called off. Lindsay later used their wood to craft a Wooden Shovel. Since night was beginning to fall once again, Lindsay walked out of the base to greet Trevor and Michael as they arrived. Lindsay slept in a bed, but was forced to wait for Gavin Free, who was lighting the nearby area with Torches, and Ryan, who had to kill a Zombie. Once the Zombie was dead, the Hunters slept through the night.

When the Hunters woke up, Michael and Gavin began to argue about their marriage in *Sky Factory*, much to Lindsay's amusement. Lindsay asked Gavin how his brother was doing, and Gavin replied that his brother now runs a hostel in Cambodia, causing the others to joke that Gavin's brother moved to Cambodia to get away from him. When Gavin informed the others that Lindsay's tree grew, Lindsay told the others to get out of their way, as they wanted to see "their kid," which was now named the Tree of Life; Michael noted that Lindsay wasn't like that around their actual child. After Lindsay and Michael complained about their babysitter, Lindsay told the Hunters to let them know if David Bowie came back from the dead to take their daughter, then commented that they missed David Bowie.

Lindsay then began attacking a Pig, telling the others to prepare for a large amount of meat. They overheard some banter between Gavin and Alfredo and began egging them on to fight each other. After killing several Pigs, Lindsay returned to the base and admired the Lilacs that Alfredo had planted in front of the base, which now had the name Happy House. After depositing their Pork into the group's chest, Lindsay offered to go into the group's cave, but Michael warned them that they would die if they went. As night fell, Lindsay went back into Happy House to cook some Chicken. Lindsay went back outside to craft, but while trapped in their inventory, a Zombie began to attack them. Lindsay could only frantically scream for help as the Zombie killed them in front of Geoff. In Lindsay's honor, the Tree of Life was renamed to the Tree of Life and Death.

### After Death

*"Gary fulfills me in a way you never could, in a sense that he's here while you were still alive. He made me feel like a real dead woman."*
―Lindsay Jones to Michael Jones[src]
After their death, Lindsay was sent to Hell. Watching the other Achievement Hunters from beyond the grave, they tried to talk at various points, only to be yelled at to shut up since they were dead. Later, they told Michael from the afterlife to rename the Tree of Life and Death to the Tree of Wife.

When Gavin Free asked what the origin of the phrase "to take with a grain of salt" was, Lindsay told him from the afterlife that it derived from the fact that people in ancient times thought food could be more easily digested if taken with salt.

Thirty years after their death, they married Gary, a Zombie Pigman who himself had recently died. The new couple moved into a Nether Fortress, declaring it their home. There, they participated in many adventures alongside the other deceased Hunters.

Twenty years after marrying Gary (and fifty years after their death), Lindsay, along with the other Hunters, appeared as a ghost to a dying Michael Jones in his final minutes of life, with Lindsay stating that he could save 15% off his car insurance in 15 minutes by switching to GEICO. After Michael's death, his soul ended up in Hell, where he was left as a permanent geriatric due to dying at an old age. After traveling to Achievement Hunter's Nether Fortress, he reunited with Lindsay at long last, with Lindsay initially confusing Michael for their grandfather. However, Lindsay informed him about their marriage to Gary and that they loved Gary more than him, leaving Michael jealous.
