Lin is the reincarnated soul [[maja_lore|of a semi-divine being from the Feywild]]. 


not too long ago a temple fell in the sky from a different world 

A giant structure connected to an island that fell into the sea

A temple gilded with bronze home too many acid traps and hostile plant life in an ever shifting complex structure
Many ancient years lining the walls from children’s drawings to grand ancient art
A place made for craftspeople and learners of the arts and music, feathered serpent insignias and the sun line the roofs there was one large mural at the back with one peace missing from it showing a image of a old god divine being with their domains depicted around it with a peace clearly missing looking like it was removed from the wall

And there was spawned a very young child from a mask tumbling out of a portal from the Fae wild a child who doesn’t remember their past, a happy child, as the child grew they learned the arts, befriended the plants, but eventually after those years
something called them out, something… important a… sibling? Yes- yes! Their sibling! How could they forget? They need to find their sibling!
And just then the temple that usually always steered them away from the exit opened a path out to the island that was very different to the temple they knew, and it was green- there was SO much green! They remember they love the color green! After a bit and some more lessons from the temple they made themselves more clothes, a simple dress, a green one, then they played though the forest happy as can be among the usually man eating plants, but those plants have always been their friends the plants provided for them and they would take care of the plants in turn, but sometimes- big terrifying monsters that ride the murdered corpses of their friends from far away started coming, and so they turned the monsters away but monsters don’t listen to words they just make strange noises, but the plants, their friends, would take care of the monsters, the plants taught them how to deal with monsters too, you just eat them. And the temple taught them how to cook… at least it tryed the temple could only tell the basic beginning of how to take care of themselves like they were pieces of knowledge missing very large pieces 
One day a young dragon landed on the island, a dragon that liked to play games, they like to play games too,  and they trusted this dragon because it reminded them of the murals on the temple walls, so they would play and play though the nights and days before one day- 
“Ooooo! You know what? We should give you a name!” The copper dragon exclaimed with as much energetic energy as he usually does… which is a lot
Then they played a new game other then dragon twister, the name game, after 3 days and three nights, the copper dragon named them “Lin” Lin liked that name the dragon also told them how to speek common, specifically so Lin could understand some of the jokes they make because there puns that only work in common, and that’s when they just remembered- they’re supposed to be looking for their sibling! They don’t have wings like their dragon friend though … and nowadays there’s many shipwrecks along the coast from the violent plant life irruptIng from the large tropical forests and crashing the ships- that could DEFINITELY work! But they’re mostly all destroyed… the wood planks float though so Lin tied many together making themselves a raft and eventually set off… without any food or supplies not to mention it seems like the ocean itself was throwing Lin back on the island but eventually after enough paddling and evading waves they got out into the ocean… and then promptly got INCREDIBLY bored eventually being picked up by more friendlier pirates that thought they were rescuing a child, a very powerful wizard half orc and tempest cleric … which Lin promptly saw as parental figures since they never had any thing like that before and they took care of Lin… even if Lin had some more disturbing tendencies, usually just pacifying Lin with apple juice, it was the first gift they ever got from anyone, so they enjoy it, they had adventured with the pirates for a long time before eventually despite the captains inability to age, decided he would retire eventually having come to terms with his immortality retired, and so did the rest of the crew, but Lin- also having never aged was still very young and very excited for adventure so after a tearful goodbye Lin set out on more adventures hoping to be as cool as their captain and first mate one day, but after adventure… after adventure… the crowds they fell into got worse and worse, crueler, meaner… people who never really cared for each other and we’re only adventuring for money, sure they were a bit bullied by the paladin back on the ship but it was never this… mean before, never so isolating, and they didn’t know any of the plants here, they didn’t know how to talk to them,  everything was meaner here… that’s when they remembered their sibling- OH NO THEY FORGOT!! How long has it been how could they have forgotten that they were looking for their sibling!! They got so sidetracked with the whole stopping the blood god demon or whatever thing! So Lin turn their focus to finding their long lost… brrotherrr…? No- maybe??? They don’t remember- that’s not important right now they got to get looking! 

Sometimes they keep a diary, that they forget to hide usually although it’s probably best not to look inside because this is the front page

—————————————

Lin hasn’t been acting like themselves either, lately they seem a lot more oblivious… peaceful? The once ravenous evil creature child they had grown to look like around a young adult is now… small again, smaller than they were before they turned up in this region… like a nine-year-old almost, and the same mental state of any normal child? Still as powerful as they were before but now with a strange child like innocence like they’ve never been on an adventure before, should we be worried? They’re only eating chicken nuggets now and reacting to things like any normal child?

But one more thing they are simply INSISTING that their name isn’t Lin and that it has and always has been- link
