Yeah I like this character a normal amount (makes an AU, makes an AU, makes an AU, makes-

More art + information under the cut <3

Note that bc I'm a Jolbeck shipper a lot of these AUs feature the ship.

Villainbeck! Instead of being motivated by greed, Linebeck is motivated by power. Unfortunately, he's also a massive coward and not very strong. This leads him to make a deal with Bellum in exchange for more power, turning him into a permanent Bellumbeck (but unlike canon Bellumbeck, he's not fully possessed. Bellum is more like a parasite). The catch? Bellum is constantly draining his life force, and he has to lure other sailors to their demise to feed to Bellum in his place, with the hopes that it will slow down the process. He's the captain of the Ghost Ship, but he falls overboard with Link during the beginning of PH before he's able to give him and Tetra to Bellum. His coat hides Bellum on his back, so Link is none the wiser for the majority of the story. His cowardice is an act in order to make Link let his guard down and bring him back to the Ghost Ship so he can finish the job.

This one is technically two different AUs that both feature Linebeck as a werewolf. The first centers around Linebeck, a cowardly merchant just trying to stay under the radar, and Jolene, a hunter who's determined to finally bring down the wolfman that's been terrorizing the area every month. She makes a promise to protect Linebeck, which is only a problem due to the fact that unbeknownst to her, he is also the wolfman she's sworn to kill. Whoops.

The second on is much more straightforward. It's werewolf Linebeck and vampire Jolene.

This one is just Linebeck as a furry okay what more do you want from me.

And this one is just Hanahaki disease. Also straightforward.

Personality Swap! Linebeck is the capable but harsh pirate while Jolene is the cowardly sailor with a bit of an ego. Not a roleswap, so Linebeck is still Link's companion throughout the events of PH, he's just a lot more helpful since he can actually handle himself in a fight.

Kidbeck! This one is a bit more complex to explain. Linebeck gets turned the same age as Link by whatever magical entity your heart desires in order to teach him a lesson about the way he treats him. What the lesson is supposed to be, he has no idea, but he can't turn back until learns it. He gets separated from Link and found by...Jolene, who doesn't recognize him and he's determined to keep it that way. Unfortunately, she's not to keen on helping him get back to the SS Linebeck due to her grievances against the captain. She just doesn't know that this kid she's pouring her heart out / complaining about him to is actually the captain himself, who is rethinking everything he thought he knew about why she was mad at him in the first place. He just wants to get turned back to normal so he can figure this whole mess out.
