Lynn

Pretty Perilous

## Background

Lynn was born in captivity in the Gungnir labs, her DNA forcibly altered before she drew her first breath. Raised by Astra, she has suffered in ways she may not even comprehend. She can buff allies and debuff enemies, but even her buffs can have downsides.

### Biography

Among the many innocent victims of Gungnir's experiments was a woman who had been pregnant at the time she was captured and brought to Spearwood. She suffered under their experiments for months before her condition was discovered.

Astra was thrilled. He would never have gotten clearance to knowingly experiment on a pregnant woman, so he considered this a major windfall.

The baby was initially given only a serial number, but as the child grew (rapidly due to the anomalous DNA), she began to ask what her name was. By then, Helen had escaped Spearwood, and the loss of his greatest success haunted Astra; he named the baby Lynn, a lesser, rhyming derivative.

Because Astra was the only "parent" she knew, Lynn was loyal and uncomplaining as he ran tests and tried to reproduce Helen's resurrection abilities. Frustrated with his failure, Astra blamed Lynn, ranting about her superior "sister" and planting the seeds of a fierce rivalry.

When Astra went an unusually long time between visits, Lynn's rage and resentment grew. Surely, her father had been reunited with his precious Helen and forgotten her. Her rage blossomed into the most intense display of her unique abilities to date, and she burst free from the facility, leaving bodies in her wake.

Since breaking out, Lynn has yet to find Astra... but she has met Helen. She hasn't filled Helen in on their connection. For now, she is just observing her big sister, learning what she can. She still might kill Helen someday... but with all they have in common, perhaps Helen is right that they also share a common enemy. If that is true, they might be more than sisters. They might be friends.

## Skills

*ULTIMATE SKILL*
Drawing on her zombie DNA, Lynn transforms for 8 seconds.
Enemies in her attack range take damage at 150% ATK power and are knocked back by her transformation.
Lynn then fires condensed gas at the enemy, causing enemies in range to be [CONFUSED] for five seconds.
[CONFUSED] enemies cannot distinguish between enemies and allies; they attack the nearest target (the enemy's basic attack is all they can use in this state).
Lynn sends random allies into a [BLOOD FRENZY] increases ATK power and ATK speed by 30%, but ally takes damage equivalent to 2% of Max HP per second. If an ally with [BLOOD FRENZY] dies, [BLOOD SISTER] cooldown resets. (If Lynn is in her transformed state when the ally dies, the transformation duration resets.)
Lynn's basic attack inflicts [LIFE LEAK].
[LIFE LEAK] lasts 4 seconds and stacks up to 5 times. Each stack increases damage taken by 10% and reduces healing effects by 10%. If an ally attacks an enemy afflicted with [LIFE LEAK], the ally recovers 2% of their max HP.
(Passive) When Lynn attacks a nearby enemy:
* Human form: Lynn gains SP.
* Zombie form: Increases duration of transformation.
(Passive) When an ally in a [BLOOD FRENZY] attacks an enemy or an ally attacks an enemy afflicted with [LIFE LEAK], Lynn gains [BLOOD HARVEST] (stacks up to 10x, 2-second cooldown between stacks).
[BLOOD HARVEST] increases Lynn's ATK speed by 5% per stack. At 10 stacks, it becomes [WHIRLWIND HARVEST].
[WHIRLWIND HARVEST] unleashes Lynn's accumulated energy against enemies and restores HP for up to 3 allies in need. The more enemies hit by Lynn, the more HP granted to the allies.
