Prototype L7NN, also known as Lynn, is a minor antagonist in Sunrider: Liberation Day and later a companion character in Sunrider 4: Captain's Return.
She is a Prototype ryder pilot who was captured by the Sunrider's crew during the Second Battle of Helion. Following the Liberation Day Massacre and the destruction of the Sunrider, Lynn lost confidence with the Prototype leadership and defected to Asaga vi Ryuvia, sharing her Prototype expertise and technology with present-day Ryuvia and its military. She designed and built the Maray, Ryuvia's newest flagship.
Appearance[ | ]
Like the rest of her kind, Lynn is a small woman of dainty build with periwinkle-blue hair and sapphire eyes. During her time on the battlefield she wore a Ryder flight-suit with a black-on-red pattern. While detained aboard the Sunrider she wore an orange jumpsuit with a neck-tag and possible restraint collar.
In Captain's Return, now a crew member of the Maray, she wears a cat-like Q-Jammer headband over her head to prevent Prototype leaders from influencing her actions and knowing her whereabouts. When piloting her ryder, she wears a blue plugsuit, similar to the one worn by her predecessor and fellow Prototype Chigara. While serving aboard the Maray, she wears the standard female Ryuvian navy sailor uniform.
Bio[ | ]
Lynn was one of the many Prototypes that fought at the Second Battle of Helion and was ultimately overpowered and defeated by the awakened Sharr of Ryuvia, Asaga di Ryuvia. Out of all her "sisters", Lynn was the only Prototype to survive Asaga's wrath and was soon after taken captive by the Sunrider for interrogation, where she proceeded to begin sowing the seeds of distrust among the crew - first by feeding into Ava Crescentia's belief that Chigara Lynn Ashada was a Prototype herself (which was true) and the source of the information leak on the ship that had been present since before the war started (actually the doing of a different spy on the ship), and then to Asaga by manipulating the latter's growing emotional instability into full-fledged paranoia and fear-turned-resentment for the Ryuvian pilot's formerly-best friend.
After the Liberation Day Massacre and the Sunrider's kamikaze run against Machiavelli Actual, Lynn escaped her brig and found her way to the severely damaged bridge of the ship, where she found Kayto Shields wounded and unconscious. Lynn's mind was briefly invaded by the mindstream element of the now-deceased Chigara, and she decided to carry Shields to the remaining escape pod instead of killing him. Lynn was taken captive again when Asaga and Sola di Ryuvia rescued Shields.
She was then transferred to a maximum-security Ryuvian prison where she languished for years, until she decided to defect from the Prototypes and switch allegiance to Asaga and her kingdom, at a time when most of humanity were hunting down Prototypes for their role in the Liberation Day Massacre. From then on, she shared her invaluable Prototype technology and expertise to Ryuvia and its military, helping Asaga design and build the Maray, Ryuvia's newest flagship. She was then appointed by Asaga as the ship's Chief Engineer.
Personality[ | ]
Lynn's personality is depicted as the exact opposite of Chigara's. While Chigara is kind-hearted, soft-spoken, shy and humble, Lynn is smug, abrasive, snarky, arrogant and condescending. She tends to look down on people around her, constantly reminding them of her superior intellect and engineering know-how as a Prototype.
Deep down however, Lynn is forgiving, empathetic and fiercely loyal to her friends. When Ava Crescentia suggested an involuntary surgery on a fellow Prototype, she was quick to protest, and if Kayto decided against it, she will sheepishly thank him for the decision. She was also quick to apologize to Kayto for berating him in public. If her ending in Captain's Return was chosen, Kayto will declare Lynn as his friend, causing her to burst into tears and in turn make a promise to Kayto to protect him from the Prototypes.
