Theme Ghosting

Lynn is a seemingly demure, narcoleptic artist; she is unable to control her drowsy spells, and often finds herself falling asleep at random. Due to her condition, Lynn is a homebody that finds comfort in working at her own pace.

Lynn is capable of predicting the future via her dreams, though she cannot make specific predictions, or choose when she'd like to have a prophetic dream. Not every prediction is a good one, and sometimes Lynn has trouble determining regular dreams from prophetic dreams, due to this.

Currently, Lynn is dating a mobster named Pinstripe; despite her mild demeanor, she has a thing for bad boys. He only lets his guard down around her, revealing his ooey gooey marshmallow heart. He loves to tease her, which she loves secretly absolutely hates.

Don't let her cutesy looks fool you-- she can be meaner than him.

Appearance

Eye Color Amber
Fur Color Rosy brown/beige/white
Hair Color Duotone; beige/taupe
Hair Style Short, chin-length

Voice HC: "I'll find my path."

Lynn is a jackalope. Despite their names, they are not much physically different from a typical anthropomorphic rabbit save for their key defining feature-- their antlers. Jackalope ancestors used to be extremely powerful, but as their lineage progressed, their magical abilities have since weakened. Jackalopes are identified by their cervidae antlers, which may range from resembling deer antlers to a moose's horns.

Lynn resembles a holland lop, her rosy brown fur painted with darker splotches. White freckle-like spots dot her nose. Lynn's hair is duotone; one side is dyed white, while the other is brunette. Lynn's eyes are amber.

Much of Lynn's clothing consists of graphic t-shirts and high-waisted shorts. She owns an extensive collection of socks, and thus changes which pair she is wearing to suit her moods.

Design Notes

  • Lynn has spots around her left eye, right thigh, and on her belly.
  • Lynn has small "freckles" that are white dots, similar to the spots fawns have. They are on her cheeks and over the bridge of her nose.
  • Lynn has paw pads on her feet, but not on her hands.
  • Lynn can be drawn with or without the flowers decorating her antlers.

About

In terms of her artistic endeavors, Lynn is a creative freethinker. She enjoys expressing herself via her paintings, and hardly ever begins a project with a specific idea in mind; Lynn believes that her best work comes from simply painting what comes to mind, rather than beginning a project with a particular expectation. As a result, much of Lynn's artistic works are surreal and avant garde in nature. Lynn's creative perspective on problem-solving is a stark contrast to Pinstripe's logical way of thinking.

Lynn's persistent drowsiness has resulted in her personality being somewhat subdued; there's very few things she will react strongly to. Though unintentional, some may find her apathy to come off as unfriendly, as she often finds herself too tired to enjoy the company of others. Because of this, Lynn is highly introverted. In addition to the effects of her narcolepsy, much of Lynn's social insecurities stem from her jackalope heritage; as a culture built on perceived purity, many jackalopes find solid fur patterning to be highly preferrable over those with speckles or spots. This mentality heavily affected Lynn's self perception growing up, and is something she still struggles with often even in adulthood.

Despite her insecurities and seemingly docile demeanor, Lynn has somewhat of a mean streak. She may snap out of her drowsiness, though briefly, if the need arises to put someone back in their place. In fact, Lynn frequently offers to help the Family in some way, but Pinstripe prefers to keep her out of harm's way if possible-- admittedly, however, her unassuming appearance can be quite useful for scouting, even if the goons aren't far behind to keep her safe. Lynn will fiercely defend her beliefs, as well as her partner, from the differing opinions of her parents. This is especially true for Lynn's father, chief of police Mike.

Lynn's sleepiness has made her into a homebody-- she'll go out for dates or shopping trips, but overall prefers the comfort of home. This doesn't bother Lynn, however; she enjoys being home to greet her partner after he's finished work. She's very dedicated to Pinstripe, even teaching herself first aid to remedy his recklessness. Lynn is devoted to being the perfect housewife, even if she falls asleep on the job sometimes.

Lynn has a subtle playfulness to her that often only reveals itself to Pinstripe. She likes to be bratty in a joking manner, and adores being treated like a princess. This tsundere-like front is simply because she sometimes feels a little shy from praise or romantic gestures.

Trivia

  • Lynn was born on Valentine's day, making her birthday February 14th.
    • This means Lynn is an Aquarius.
  • Lynn wags her tail when she's excited.
  • Lynn has above-average knowledge of first aid, because Pinstripe is an idiot.
  • Lynn dislikes being called a "rabbit", because she isn't one. Most jackalopes feel this way.
    • Ironically, her favorite animals are rabbits.
  • Lynn drools in her sleep. Sometimes she snores too.
  • Pinstripe calls her "shortstack".
  • Lynn is a vegetarian. Not vegan, though-- she wouldn't be able to live without cheesecake.
    • Lynn's family is very southern, so she tends to prefer the southern comfort foods she grew up with. Highlights include cornbread and baked macaroni.
  • Since her ears are so big, Lynn hates loud noises. She especially hates thunder storms and fireworks.
    • Desite this, she is a pretty heavy sleeper.
  • Due to her narcolepsy, Lynn has trouble holding down a regular job. She used to work with Kyle, but got fired for falling asleep during work too much. The two are besties these days.
  • Many of Lynn's other friends were introduced to her via Kyle; this includes Finley, his room mate, and Harlow, his bandmate who also happens to work with Lynn's partner.
  • Like Harlow, Lynn met Lukas through work relations and became friends along the way.

Magic and Abilities

[Jackalope Abilities and Lore]

Prophetic Dreaming

Jackalopes throughout Abirelle's history have been noted for their unqiue abilities to foretell events via their dreams. Jackalope ancestors had a better grasp on their abilities than their modern counterparts; this species used to be capable of changing the outcomes of their predictions while still within their dream, using the method of lucid dreaming. Most jackalopes in Abirelle today cannot do this, although once they are aware of what the future holds, they are able to change the outcome while awake. Their prophecies are not set in stone, and simply show an event of high probability.

Jackalopes are incapable of choosing their specific dreams, or who they dream about. They can also not choose when these dreams take place; a jackalope may experience a prophetic dream multiple times a week, or once a month. A jackalope's dream may foretell a negative event, a positive one, or something in between.

telepathic shared experience

A telepathic shared experience is when one is able to view events from the perspective of another. Jackalopes are capable of this process while asleep; during these dreams, live events take place from a specific individual's eyes. The jackalope is not able to hear their host's thoughts or influence their actions, though they are capable of hearing and seeing what their host does.

This ability is an uncommon one in modern jackalopes. Lynn does indeed possess this skill, but experiencing a shared event is extremely rare for her.

Shared Dreams

Jackalopes are also capable of sharing a dream with another individual. Ancient jackalopes were able to preform this task at will, and link with anyone within a specific radius. Modern jackalopes, while still capable of this ability, are far more limited; shared dreams happen at random, although they may only take place with an individual the jackalope has a close bond with. In order for this event to begin, the jackalope must be asleep and physically near the host.

Shared dreams cannot be lucid from either person. These dreams are somewhat similar to reading one's mind.
