Linne

Apperance

Linne's current appearance is that of a young girl with brown hair and brown eyes. She wears a yellow hoodie over a black shirt that goes up her neck, black spandex shorts and black zipper boots up to calf-length. Her clothing can change depending on what color palette the player chooses. For example, she'll wear thigh-high stockings, spandex pants or just nothing but the hoodie.

personality

Linne is a stoic, aloof, and independent girl who tends to try resolving matters on her own regardless of how dangerous the situation is. Underneath, she possesses immense guilt over how, because of her ability, she has destroyed the lives of countless innocent girls, believing that only her absolute death can cease this endless cycle. Even though Hyde possesses the means to give her a true death, she feels even more guilt on how she must ask him to bear the burden of killing her on his conscience. Linne's stoic shell can also sometimes be broken under certain means. Perverse gestures can quickly anger her and she is easily swayed by food, especially candy and other sweet confectioneries, which is the result of the more childlike tendencies of her body taking effect.

information

Linne has long been searching for a legendary sword known as the "Indulgence of Insulation" to end her eternal life. Quick-minded and stoic, Linne is someone who works well at her job and is focused on her goals, not letting her emotions get in her way. She is always accompanied by her pet Kuu.

abilities

Linne can wield the EXS of Agility: Speed Star, which, naturally, gives a massive boost to her agility. Interestingly, the ability actually belongs to the body which Linne is currently possessing, meaning that Linne has most likely used other abilities in the past. It is a fairly average ability, which only boosts body functions. Linne also likes to mention her ability name often to evade suspicions of actually being the Princess of the Night Blade. Linne fights using a combination of an one-handed sword and a pocketknife or side-opening switchblade. The sword is called No Name, a dull grey sword with a brown hilt and wrappings which has almost no sharp edges, leaving it nearly completely blunt. It was forged by Linne herself a long time ago, having received tutorage from Waldstein, who is known for his knowledge on weapon smithing. Linne hasn't thought up of a name for the sword yet, hence the sword's current "name". The knife she uses is a regular knife that can be sold in an ordinary store. It's referred to as “Nameless”, simply because Linne has yet to give the knife a name. Linne chose to use a knife because it's light and easy to use in tandem with her small physique. Most of Linne's combat prowess comes from her years of experience and good gut feeling. She can read her opponent like a book and disorientate them with dodges and other evasive maneuvers, and slowly whittle them down. In order to make the most of her ability, she only uses the two weapons she has on her and nothing else. Linne also states that she likes to yell out the name of her attacks during a fight as it supposedly helps her bring out as much power as possible from her small body. During some of her most strongest moves, Linne channels some of the power contained within the Seal engraved within her soul. This power envelops her blades with a bright light. Linne can either use her weapons in tandem with this, or she can merge them into one blade.

The Night Blade Organization History

About 500 years ago[1], the Hollow God visited the Witchcraft Village and taught the people about the powers of EXS. After this, many of the surrounding villages started to get curious about the happenings of the village. The village chief decided to create a group in order to protect the secrets that the Hollow God had taught them. Linne mentions that the group was named "The Sword Concealed in the Hollow Night" (虚ろの夜に伏す刀). They protected people from the Night for ages and passed on the knowledge about it through generations. However, an internal struggle begun within the Night Blade. The faction separated into two subgroups: The Reformists; who desired to protect themselves from outsiders, making the presence of the Night Blade known in the process, and the Moderates; who wished to continue living in secrecy. Some remains of its members still continue to fight Voids and protect the Night. The Reformists were lead by the Sougetsu Clan, who ended up moving away from the village and became the guardians of the Shrine of the Protector, while the Moderates stayed behind, continuing on the Night Blade's legacy.

The Night Blade Organization present

Currently the size of the clan has grown quite small. The Night Blade now has a little under 100 members[2]. Some of those members have stopped participating in the Hollow Night, and only a handful take part in their usual Void suppression activities. In the past, the Night Blade owned a mansion-like building that used to serve as their headquarters[3], but it is no longer in use. Most of their members and clans live separately and operate on their own.

Linne’s story

Hundreds of years ago, Linne and her brother Kuon were used in the Night Blade's human experiment to create new abilities. As a result Linne gained a power to transfer her consciousness from a body to another - making it possible for her to live eternally. In addition, if her host body gets killed then Linne's consciousness is automatically transferred to a new body. This is how she has lived her life for several tens of bodies. Linne didn't want to continue possessing and ruining the lives of unknown girls, so she searched for a way to end her eternal life. The answer Linne found was that a legendary sword called the Indulgence of Insulation could rend her existence apart and end the curse she is bound to. Ever since the next "Hollow Night" a boy named Hyde Kido was being attacked by the creature called Voids. Ever since then Hyde became a In-Birth being able to wield ‘Indulgence of Insulation" making him have the ability to kill Linne.
