Background

As a member of the Ferrymen for many years, Lynette transitioned easily into the Resistance as the DoEA solidified its power. She was an uneasy fighter, at first, preferring precision strikes that favored her electrokinesis. But as the world turned to war, as she suffered personal and widespread loss, she found it easier and easier to turn to the more violent methods of the resistance. She joined up with Eve Mas and her band of fighters before the war was official, and proved herself a valuable and ruthless member. She eventually became Eve's right hand.
Only a few people have seen her as anything but a soldier in recent years, one of those being Mateo Ruiz— a man she felt more for than she ever let on. And when he was taken by the other side and turned against them, the shock of that betrayal hit her deep. Since then, she's had a growing obsession with taking him down herself— so much so that she's stepped in here and there to stop someone else from killing him. She hasn't managed to do it herself, which she tells herself means she still needs to work on being a better fighter.
And that's her goal. Get better. Fight better. Save people from this awful war. This awful government. She aims to be the one to make the hard choices to spare other people from having to. She knows she's made herself into a monster, but she tells herself it's for a good cause.

Psych Profile

Lynette is hard and closed off and leans more than a little on alcohol to carry her through the horrors of war. Deep down, she still cares about people— that's why she's in this war, after all— but doesn't like to show it. Or admit it, even to herself.

Evolved Ability

Lynette's electrokinesis has been honed to be as deadly as she can manage it. She can produce enough electricity to kill more than one person at once, which she has used in a chain lightning move that often announces her arrival on any battlefield. She can make electricity manifest anywhere in her line of sight, it no longer needs to originate from her person. She's made her power flashy and terrifying, aiming to intimidate the opposition. She is not able to use her power in any stealthy fashion. Even when she draws electricity to herself, her power causes flashes and sparks around her.

All these changes, rearranging

The same broken pieces baby, the same broken pieces baby

Is it too late for us? Have we fallen too far?

Down baby, down baby down we go

Is it too late for us? Are we spinning too fast?

Round and round and round we go

Music

• Giant - Melissa Etheridge (Lyrics)

You wanted to see us cry
You wanted to see us leave
You didn't count on the tide
You didn't count on the pride
You didn't count on me
I am a giant
And you will not make me fall
And you will not make me crawl
I am a giant
And I'm not alone
Winds of change have blown
And the walls come tumbling down

• Raise Hell - Brandi Carlile (Lyrics)

I found myself an omen and I tattoed on a sign
I set my mind to wandering and I walk a broken line
You have a mind to keep me quiet
And although you can try
Better men have hit their knees
And bigger men have died

• Seven Devils - Florence + The Machine (Lyrics)

Holy water cannot help you now
A thousand armies couldn't keep me out
I don't want your money, I don't want your crown
See, I've come to burn your kingdom down
