And ohho, poor Lyn. WAY TO BE A SOCIAL BUTTERFLY, BOY. So pffft he will learn, I suppose. He will learn ALL THE THINGS. A Lyn crash course could be pretty rad, but here's your super simple Avispa crash course for now:
• Fours! All fours. Things come in fours. Seriously, all the fours.
• Skulls are seriously the best thing! Well, maybe tied for best thing.
• Puzzles. Everything is puzzles even when it isn't. She loves puzzles and has a million of them.
• She's dumb at people and social things but really, really good at analytical and logical thinking... Especially puzzles.
...I told you things came in fours. That's pretty much everything you need to know about her, personality wise, but there's so much more planned for her future that it's crazy. She's crazy. And it's all a giant puzzle just waiting to be solved. Speaking of, she's going to be very curious about Lyn's horns. Why aren't they symmetrical? Did he bend one? She's going to touch it to see.
And ahahaha it'd take some silly shenanigans to get Avispa to shove him into them, but that IS a thing that could potentially happen... except it'd be more like the two get attacked from behind and, in her surprise to pop the thing into grist she accidentally just... bumps Lyn towards the lasers. HER BAD, BRO, DON'T DIE.

• Lyn's full name is Lyndis! But he really hates that name so he always goes by Lyn; I don't think anyone in any of the sessions knows his full name, although I could be forgetting something.
• Lyn is a runt troll! He's like...about 4'10" at almost 9 sweeps, which is pretty fucking embarrassing. Being small and weak, his lusus took him out to live in the middle of nowhere, ten miles from the nearest troll city!
• Lyn's weasel lusus was killed by a scalebeast when Lyn was about two sweeps old, before Lyn's hive was even completed! So Lyn's been hiding from the drones (since they cull orphaned trolls) in a cave near his half-built hive ever since, and subsists almost entirely on stealing shit from other trolls in the nearest troll city. (Which means, yeah, he regularly makes the twenty-mile trek there and back. On foot. HIS LIFE IS HARD.)
• All of Lyn's education and social skills come from the internet! Primarily gaming forums. THIS SHOULD GIVE YOU A REALLY GOOD UNDERSTANDING OF HIS PERSONALITY AND WHY IT IS THE WAY IT IS.
• Lyn's had limited exposure to girls, so he's even more socially awkward around them than he is around guys! And he's pretty horribly socially awkward in general, so that's saying a lot.
• Lyn has HUGE self-worth issues, but conceals these by being a tremendous tough-talking jackass! He's like a kitten who's puffed itself up to look bigger, and he stays puffed basically ALL THE TIME. But he's not genuinely as much as a jackass as he generally acts, and he feels guilty when he genuinely upsets people. (He's okay with making people angry and disgusted, but making them sad weirds him out. Ask Nikkal.)
• Due to never having shit of his own and always having to steal things to get by, he's become something of a learned kleptomaniac. He will acquire your shit if you leave it unattended. Quite possibly without even being consciously aware he's taken it.
• Underneath his trash talk, Lyn is a big coward and kind of a pacifist! He doesn't like fighting if he can avoid it, and he'd never kill another troll without his hand being seriously forced. This puts him at a HUGE disadvantage in Alternian society, and he knows it! ALL THE MORE DEFENSIVE BEHAVIOR TO DISGUISE THIS FACT.
• Growing up alone and well-hidden, Lyn never developed the self-preservation to show deference to highbloods! So he's very vocal about the lowblood chip on his shoulder he has with them and their highblood privilege in ways that most lowbloods would consider suicidal!
• He thinks quadrants are stupid, in much the way four-year-olds think romance is stupid. He's pretty much that emotionally immature about things in general. He doesn't trust anyone much, and figures no one will ever like him, so he's pretty sure quadrants are a thing he will never ever have to worry about anyway!

But for now I am staring with starry-eyes at this Lyn crash course and just chinhandsing at him. And realizing that several of Avispa's puzzles might someday go missing because of him. Mr. Sticky fingers.
sdjhgsd as for the rest I am just asjkfh because he's such a fascinating little fellow. ... emphasis on little because Avispa is actually four inches taller than him. (Don't let her ever find that out or she'll be even more fascinated by him)
