Background / History

Lin An became an Awakener during the apocalypse after crushing a zombie’s skull. The kill activated his Apocalypse Player Template ahead of schedule and enabled the Savior Template, giving him Strength Burst and the future reward of Eye of Judgment. At Tier 0, his attributes already exceeded ordinary human limits. 4

He formed a team around himself early in the catastrophe. When Zhang Tie joined, Lin An’s team ability granted the new member a 10% stat boost; Zhang Tie’s initial loyalty was 70 due to having been saved by Lin An. Lin An later gave Zhang Tie the Stitching Thread and two C-rank skill books, raising his loyalty to 100. 22 58

As his power grew, Lin An assembled Dragon An Base into a major force. He led its development while avoiding routine management, instead focusing on personal advancement, missions, and the Base’s strategic strength. Dragon An eventually fielded more than two million people, 71% of them combat personnel. 942 1080

Lin An later became a figure of global fear and reverence. After eliminating more than 99% of the Xenomorph race, he received the title Race Slaughterer, one million Reputation points, and access to Civilization Points Exchange. 1467

Appearance

Lin An is described as tall, fit, and comparatively slender beneath his clothing. His appearance becomes progressively less human as his strength and Death God equipment develop. 22 1050

• Common early equipment included black-and-red gloves, a silver-white sword sheath, rings, a crystal pendant, and a belt. 244
• The displayed Death God Mask covers his face with an evil aura and induces fear in observers. 610
• When using the Death God Set, he is described as a mysterious, inhuman being surrounded by Death Force. 1050
• His aura after completing the set nearly crushes elite Third Order Awakeners merely by proximity. 1323

Personality

Lin An is pragmatic, calculating, and intensely driven by the need to become stronger. He evaluates people according to their usefulness to group survival, initially refusing Liu ShiMing before reconsidering once he learns Liu is an architectural designer. 64

He is also a resource-conscious leader who invests heavily in trusted allies. He strengthens Zhang Tie repeatedly with skills and equipment, distributes powerful Corpse Emperor loot to his team, and intends to improve Dragon An’s wider survival capacity by freely disseminating Spiritual Energy Tower technology. 58 1113 1114

His pragmatism can become ruthless. He coerces enemies for equipment, considers deception to obtain Points, and is willing to kill pursuers for Honor Points. Nevertheless, he does not casually harm survivors and is capable of mercy when it serves his judgment. 741 903 947 1124

Lin An is wary of manipulation by both Chu An and his own Second Will. Though he recognizes that each has protected him, he believes both have used him as a pawn for their own plans. 1113
