spearmaster, Joy addict, tiger head wearing wushu player from LISA: THE PAINFUL.

about this goober: Lincoln Townsend grew up in the miserable slums of Olathe, though that didn't stop the occasional martial arts movie VHS from mysteriously appearing in the posession of his immediate circle. he'd borrow and watch them religiously - the intense action and sheer physicality of the fights he saw on some more fortunate neighbor's grainy TV screen acted as an escape from the reality of his life.

one of these neighbors miraculously happened to be a wushu instructor. the general atmosphere of this part of Olathe and the grueling training that martial arts are known for have only made Lincoln's struggles worse - it was basically child abuse. but now the pain had carved him out a direction - now he could be more like the fighters he idolized. at least, that's what he told himself.

the time of early adulthood was a blur. a mix of trying to make ends meet while climbing the local wushu leagues. painful exercise tempered by the numbness drugs provided. or the high of a good result in a competition. Lincoln practically lived to prove himself against tough opponents. at times, he didn't even have to win to feel like all the pain was worth it.

then The Flash happened. Tiger Man never had much interest in women, but the way Olathe tilted on its axis definitely played a role in driving him off the rails, in some ways, at least. the far reach of the Joy trade didn't help, either - the blue pills were far more potent than whatever Lincoln managed to acquire before, only worsening his addiction. not that it made him weaker. frankly, maybe feeling nothing is exactly what he needed to focus on his one and only goal - wandering the wasteland and fighting the strongest of fighters, however much are left.

SCENARIOS:

1) IN-GAME APPEARANCE

(The Slaughter at Bob's Dojo; The Second Crossroads)

2) CALM BEFORE THE STORM

(there's no campfire there in the game but like yknow; The Third Crossroads)

3) OLATHE BEFORE THE FLASH

(somewhere; you're friends :] )

SOME EXPLANATIONS I GUESS

• itd be gucci if you played the game first to maybe understand some stuff better

• this thing uses pronoun macros, so set those up for your persona. please. it may also get some stuff wrong, so correct its messages or reroll if it does. please.

• tiger man has no dialogue in the game so this is basically all my subjective interpretations of him.

• Brad Armstrong is hanging around anywhere else (unless you use a Brad Armstrong persona). all the party members you recruited are the ones he didn't

• scenarios 1 & 2 probably won't make sense with fem personas because of the flash.

• in scenario 3 let's say lincoln is 18 and doesn't have the tiger mask. maybe i made it way too fluffy but

• the lorebook has some basic stuff about the LISA world, the main characters and Joy. not the party members tho. i might update it later.

creator's note: pretty sure the wushu instructor is BIG LINCOLN but like whatever. wouldnt it be a fUCking riot if that was 100% canon tho. i know the song i attached has more to do with Bo Wyatt but i just like it. also notice how the avatar looks like ffuck? thats cause i made it. with my hands. and my phone(?). anyway i love lisa the gameful.

no wait this is not it...
