Personality and Appearance-
Standing at 6' 2", Link is tall, and has a very lean and toned musculature. His smooth, dark complexion is adorned by several tattoos on each shoulder and forearm, and he quite often wears a piercing in his nose that hangs between the nostrils. His ears are pierced as well, and though he doesn't always wear earrings, he might be caught with small hoops, diamonds, or either of his birthstones in. He seems to prefer silver largely over gold. Link has a fashionable streak and likes urban attire, hats and other clothes with a certain flare and attitude. His state of dress varies though, depending on the mood and occasion. There are times he really doesn't want to stand out, and will dress more plainly to blend in. As a skateboarder, he's often seen with his board, and rarely without appropriate shoes. Skate shoes are about more than fashion; the wrong shoes don't grip the board properly, and he is pretty keen about sticking to the brands he trusts. Link is graceful, and almost seems to move like a cat. He's had a lot of practice moving through the city and navigating its terrain, and is quick on his feet with a bounce to his step.
As disposition goes, Link is known for being the last guy to panic. He maintains a certain optimism and faith that things will turn out alright, and it generally takes a bit to shake him. Although this is usually an asset, there are times he is too optimistic and carefree, and a real danger can get the best of him. Generally speaking, though, he tends to be a real morale-booster on any team effort. He also has an active sense of humor, and loves to laugh. This shows at times as a mechanism, when the air is tense, as he'll make an effort to lighten the mood with some humor. When people get vexed, worried, or restless, he tends to try and calm them down. If he can't, he'll usually make some distance, because truth be told, Link doesn't like his relaxation broken by people stressing out around him. He avoids stressful situations. While this can be healthy, it also tends to lead him toward laziness and irresponsibility. He procrastinates and puts off unsavory problems to deal with later, and this can sneak up on him at the worst of times when he isn't careful. He's very free-spirited and hates to be controlled or told what to do, becoming averse to such elements. Despite his cool demeanor, he isn't always the most tactful or articulate with his words, sometimes coming off as crude or blunt when it isn't his intention at all.
Link is practical-minded, self-disciplined, and patient, and tends to think about trying situations logically, which is much of why he is slow to stress. Often underestimated, he is highly intelligent, philosophical, and although he has limited formal education, he is more personally researched than many who are. He knows his way around a computer, and the internet, and has dug up dirt on a lot of the dark forces in the world. Despite all this, his outlook remains strangely optimistic. He seems to believe through everything that good is more than a choice, it's an energy that will always prevail because it is self-sustaining, while evil is self-defeating and always burns itself out in the end. He doesn't like to decieve people, and only does so when he has to, and his honest nature has much to do with his often blunt wording. It should be noted that despite his cool and patient disposition, if he is grievously wounded by another, he has a tendancy to hold a grudge. He has trouble seeing the good in people who've betrayed his trust, but rather than make drama about it, he'll just avoid or ignore them.
A bit addicted to his freedom, Link doesn't find the idea of being tied down by someone terribly appealing. If he likes someone, he'll open up and grow attached as they gain his trust, but he'll let them know before it gets too serious that he prefers open relationships. In his mind, putting a lover on a leash just leads to drama and eventually losing that person. Politically, Lincoln tends to surprise people, believing there's way too much government and that it all really needs to be toned down. Freedom is a strong ideal for him, and big government tends to be its enemy. Link also loves his music, and will go on walks with his earphones in just to take some time for himself and enjoy it. He loves a range of electronic genres; particularly dubstep, grime, breakbeat, drum and bass, and trap.
Abilities/Powers/Skills-
Pyroclasm
One could suppose it is a coincidence that Link was born of two people with special abilities; one able to control and generate fire, the other able to move and shape the earth. Regardless, Link's ability is somewhere in-between; a hybridization of pyrokinesis and geokinesis that affords a limited control over each. Essentially, Lincoln is capable of melting stone and even metals that melt at lower heats, reshaping the material. All at once, he seems to move the earth and stir its molecules to such speeds that the temperature generated literally creates liquid magma that moves to his will. He can melt concrete, solid stone, rock, brick, even oddly reshape sand into glass. He possesses an innate resistance to heat, and can actually touch his creations without any harm to himself. Link can be a very dangerous advesary around rocky and urban terrains alike, weaponizing his surroundings and creating hot shards, molten rivers, or even lava bombs.
Limits-
As far as an acting pyrokinetic goes, Link can generate enough heat in his fingertip to light a cigarette, or set bedsheets on fire. That's about it. He can't hold his hand up and cause flames to erupt, or flammables to simply combust. He can't move stone without it heating into fluid, molten lava. Also, the air tends to cool his creations back into solid form pretty quickly. Heat-resistant metals will resist him, and many materials are entirely unresponsive to the effect. Also, while he can use his ability quite a few times before becoming mentally exhausted, he eventually will. This exhaustion ramps up the longer he focuses on one particular act of melting and reshaping, so an effort to create something particularly intricate will really wear him out. If he overdoes it, he can cause himself a headache or even pass out. Also, a great deal of water will get in the way of his efforts, making molten material cool much faster than normal. Even if he's melted a particular portion of material, he can't simply control it to and fro with his mind. The melting effect is directly intwined with the movement he's capable of, so if he moves a stone, it melts again for as long as he's moving it, simple as that.
