Lin is around 22 years old, cocky and full of sarcastic "wit". He's about 6' tall, trim and lean. Keeps himself clean shaven most of the time, though he gets lazy and the stubble comes out on long space flights. He wears a sort of punk homage to an Imperal officer's uniform; the cut of the pants, jacket and cap are very similar, but they are all made of rough cut chocolate brown leather, and there are numerous patches, pins and buttons sewn all over the arms and back of the coat. The cap sports a patch that is normally worn by Corellian Shipyard Security officers, but it is sewn on upside down.
Lin's attitude can be summed up as a self assured swagger. He boasts about his skill with a blaster and behind the controls of a ship way more than he should. The trouble is, he actually is pretty good at both things. He's the kind of arrogant braggart that makes everyone wants to deny his skill, but he really is good at what he does. Which can be frustrating...
When he stole the ship off the smuggling docks (right out from under his prick boss's nose), he had no idea Fuzil was aboard. In fact, he found the Duro bleeding from the head in the engine compartment while searching for the tracker he knew must be on board. He injected Fuzil with a Stim Pack, then without any introduction, apology or questions, demanded he help find the tracker. Lin genuinely likes Fuzil, though he has a funny way of showing it (mostly making fun of him as Fuzil covers his eyes during Lin's crazier space flight stunts).
Akhrirar rubs Lin the wrong way, probably because of their clashing
arrogance self confidence. He secretly respects Akhrirar's ambition, but vocally mocks his love of gadgets and gear. He knows though, that when the chips are down, Akhrirar can be relied on to bring the heat.
As a side note, if anyone mentions that they particularly like or dislike Lin's flying, he will take an immediate shine to them. If they like it, he'll act overly friendly to them with a, "Hold my beer, watch this!" attitude. If they dislike his flying, he'll act overly friendly to them with a, "Hold my beer, watch this!" attitude with an added s&$t eating grin at their discomfort.
Deep at the heart of Lin, buried under all the brash bravado and smack talk, is a burning desire to prove himself. To prove he's better than the blue collar family he ditched. Better than the jerk smugglers he worked for. Better than the Corellian security wonks, those Imperial fascists, the ineffectual Rebel losers. He's always trying to push the limit, kick up the speed one more notch, hit the next thrill. All the while never question what exactly he is running from, with all possible speed.
Edits In response to further posts:
I think Lin has a bit of a mommy complex with Mala. He hates how she's always trying to be so practical and take care of the crew, but it reminds him of his own mother, who managed a household of over 10 people and was a pragmatic woman. He both rebels against Mala's suggestions, and pines for her attention.
Lin is a bit intimidated by Zym, but he can't figure out why. Something in her eyes. However, because he's Lin, this just makes him want to spend more time around her. He made many inappropriate suggestions at first, until (I assume) Zym shut him down forcefully. Now he just flirts with mock innocence and Zym tends to find Lin in her personal space a little more often than circumstances really require.
Lin refuses to call Akhrirar "Green Mamba", and frequently tells him how stupid a name it is. He calls him Akhy, which I can only assume is irritating as hell to Akhrirar.
