Lynn Gyspa Servious: PH Application

This is in collaboration with Kitsune-Kreations. Kitsune did the lineart, I did the coloring and (botched then tossed) shading. Once I get better at shading, I may update this with that version. So serious props to Kitsune for the help, I literally couldn't have done it without you. And thanks to RykuBloodwing for story help as well.

Name: Lynn Gyspa Servious
Nickname: Little Sis/bro, Gypsy, Squirt, Flicker
Gender: Will shrug if you ask them, physically male.
Age: 14-16, they aren't sure.
D.O.B: October 5th, the day they met Alexis

Host type: Not quite a host, accidentally the Loli-Shota type.

Personality: Lynn is an energetic sort, fitting his appearance, and for the most part seems to be a carefree... teenager? Wait, what? How can THAT be fourteen? Seriously, he... she... they're adorable! And Lynn knows it, abusing this fact like no tomorrow in order to acquire sweets and such from those captivated. Their random crossdressing at Alexis' behest helps, as does Lynn's sheer exuberance at most times of the day. There's not much he won't say, and loves talking to others, but don't bring up his history. For all the world he seems, on the outside at least, to be an innocent little kid who is a bit clingy to his big sibling. The truth goes a lot deeper however, and it's not too rare to find him sitting in a tree or by fireside playing a somber song and staring into space. Until he notices you, then if he like you you'd better be resistant to flying hugs. Easy to make cry, easy to make happy, Lynn switches emotional states on a dime, and legitimately seems to live purely in the moment. Be careful if you make him angry though, which is pretty difficult thanks to a relatively short attention span. He may not set you on fire, but you may find a fish in your backpack. Yes, he is fond of pranks, why do you ask? Though he also uses his larceny for, if not good, at least adorableness. Sometimes. He's also not too bright in general, despite being more perceptive than one would guess, thanks to not having attended school before Ouran Academy. When it comes to music though he can nerd out just as well as the next person. Don't expect quiet responses from him, though on a rare occasion he actually can show a serious side. Other than that, he's oddly generous to others considering his background, and has reverse pickpocketed sweets into people's bags before just because they looked a little sad.

In reality, Lynn's a lot more mature than he looks, though that doesn't mean the exterior appearance is necessarily wrong. He knows he's cute, and uses it to get things out of others. He knows Uncle Toa didn't initially want to take care of him, so he's saving up money from his various performances and petty larcenies around campus to support him and Alexis in case they're tossed out. Oh, and he's a pyromaniac, which shouldn't be too hard to imagine considering he's both got a candle on his head and can be found staring into other fires when bored. Without Alexis, he'd be a lot worse. Alexis really is his morality chain, having taught him to not set random things on fire, to not steal too much, and of course to not EAT POKEMON'S LIFE ENERGY when he gets hungry. In return Lynn serves to keep Alexis from going too far, and Lynn follows those lessons adamantly, since Alexis is the only person he really respects for now. Though perhaps someone else will come along and earn the young gypsy's trust? After all, even under all the hardship, Lynn is still a happy if lonely kid. If a little bit shallow.


-------
History: Born to a family of traveling entertainers, Lynn Gyspa would spend his early childhood learning and watching the twenty or so travelers in the caravan perform. He was content, and dreamed of leaving the crowd and joining them. Tricks of fire, fortune telling, music and dancing, anything that could bring a smile to the towns the visited... souvenir sales helping fund the trip, of course.  They traveled all across the country, heading ever west, until coming across the large town of Fox Den in Idaho. The town had been quarantined, the government people in charge claiming a fungus had spread from the wilderness preserve nearby thanks to a rogue parasect. According to them the town was in the middle of evacuation, though they were understaffed owing to the sheer number of infected. The caravan offered their help in relief efforts, and were quickly accepted as low level relief workers. Lynn was left in the care of a babysitter, being the lone child in the caravan at the time, and told to stay with the wagons until his parents returned. A few days passed. Then a few more. After nearly a week and a half the babysitter was called away, and Lynn was left alone. The morning of the next day, Lynn took a spyglass and left the wagon circle to look for himself. The town had been overrun, the mushrooms the government man had talked about covering most of the available surfaces. The Paras' mushrooms had spread to others somehow, and the entire town had been consumed. Lynn's family was nowhere in sight.

A week later Lynn rolled into town in the last wagon from his caravan, soot from the fire still bothering the horses he hadn't released. Thus began the first day Lynn spent on the streets, having sold the wagon to pay for food. The only things to survive the next year was the small gold ring he used to tie his hair, and the harp his mother had played. He himself survived by learning to steal, to beg, and to trick. Occasionally you'd find the street rat playing in a park, but all attempt to catch him and put him in an orphanage resulted in him disappearing from town. Rumors would start to circulate of pokemon vanishing, only to be found cold and muttering about a beautiful blue light. More often than not he was chased from town, believed to be the source of the rumors. Eventually though, he hit rock bottom. Lost in a new town with nothing more than his harp and a loaf of bread, he found someone.

Enter Alexis Kindora Servious on October 5th, fallen noble and fellow street rat. Alexis was in an even rougher spot than Lynn, as they met in a drainage pipe that had served as excellent cover from the rain. Neither was well off, of course, but Lynn still had a piece of his family's cheer about him. With cold fingers, he started to play a lullaby. It was nothing special, just a quiet song to ward off the cold, but it caught Alexis' attention. The two started to talk, and eventually Lynn did something that surprised them both. He gave half his bread to Alexis, and the rest is history. The two became partners in crime, and may as well have become family.  Alexis served as a role model for Lynn, teaching him a slightly skewed version of right and wrong. A promise to not feed off people, but distracting them while Alexis picked their pocket was totally fine. The two stayed in this city for the next few years, claiming the roof of an abandoned warehouse as their own. While Alexis attended school, Lynn worked on fixing up their home or earning money. Slowly they edged away from their larcenous ways, earning money by performance or tricks with only a little theft in between. Lynn particularly took to music and stories, his gypsy heritage coming through as dances and songs. They even learned the art of acrobatics, though even today it takes them many weeks of practice to not fall when performing a new feat. Alexis even shared some of his schooling, primarily literature and music theory.

After a few years of this, and a relatively stable life complete with an odd kind of fame within the city, they were discovered by Uncle Toa. At least, that's what the men in the black and white suits called him. The wealthy man recognized Alexis, and attempted to take them in. Alexis' one demand was that Lynn be cared for too, to which he agreed. So started the life of Lynn Gyspa Servious, having been officially brought into the family by Alexis. Soon the two found themselves at Ouran Academy, host of the super rich and famous. Despite worries Lynn took to it quite quickly, though his grades are less than stellar. You can often find him wherever Alexis is, or wandering around the campus looking for things to climb. This has gotten him into trouble, particularly the incident involving an unlocked second floor window and the mistake in the cafeteria's pudding ledgers. Not too severely, thanks to his street sense, Uncle Toa's reputation, and him being fine with abusing the fact that he's far too adorable for the good of others.
