Description My reimagining of Captain Planet's Linka whose real name is actually Nina Orlov and Linka is a codename for her secret identity.

Linka comes from St. Petersburg, Russia and when the world ended, Russia was one of hardest hit countries on Earth. Never ending winters ravaged the Mother Land and nothing could live in the barren, frozen wasteland that was once the surface. Subterranean colonies were built to house the remaining Russian citizens and Linka went into these colonies as a baby. An underground life was all she knew and the only ones allowed to journey to the surface was soldiers, so Linka enlisted and trained for an entire year and before she had a chance to see the world above, she was recruited for a four man mission that would go to the arctic to find a mysterious energy source that could greatly benefit the colonies. She was given the codename Linka and told to keep this mission as secret as possible. While braving the harsh blizzards, Linka was separated from her team and forced to move on alone. She would later meet up with the four other "Planeteers" to journey North, the power source she was in search of was actually the goddess, Gaia, and she needed Linka and the others to wield elemental rings and bring the world back from destruction.

Linka is a determined women who is tough as nails and ready to throw down in a split second. Linka's toughness comes from growing up in a harsh underground environment and learning to fight in multiple different fighting styles. She comes off as entirely no nonsense but she does have a softer side when she sees the remaining beauty left in the world. Linka is highly defensive of her friends and those she considers family and will fight for them no matter what.

With her Air Ring, Linka has command of the sky and wind. She is able to send out a blast of compressed air in an direction she chooses and can create cyclones and tornados out of nowhere. Linka can also bring air down to places where air wouldn't normal be found like underwater. Another gift from the ring is the ability to fly, more specifically, the ability to ride massive wind currents to any destination of her choosing.

Ok, I looked it up and that sounds like a pretty bad episode. I mean, I looked up what Bliss was to see if there was any real world comparisons and the effects are vague enough to cover many drugs, so this is a typical "stay away from drugs" episode, but I don't think it really shows drug users and addiction in a way that helps or informs anyone. This animated segment I found a few days ago shows what meth addicts are really like and the kind of struggle they had to go through with being perceived as strung out junkies www.youtube.com/watch?v=PB5bsF…

If there is a live action Captain Planet movie following the path of Power Rangers, who from Europe or European lineage would play her?

I miss the old Linka who played her keyboard to the birds. Does this Linka do that?

And I wish this Linka would get the Planeteer uniform.

Zigwolf In reply to ryderdecade [2017-02-27 07:38:09 +0000 UTC]

No, that'll never happen here. Linka prefers a sniper rifle more than a keyboard. It's just how she was raised.

She'll never wear that because she doesn't see the practicality to wearing bright colors and short shorts. She prefers her stealth uniform.

I think I prefer the old Linka better than this.

After summoning CP, she should wield a portable wind generator.

You've made Linka even hotter now Ironic considering she hails from a frozen over Russia.

Russia frozen in eternal Winter, civilization forced to move underground, only select soldiers going to the surface for scarce resources.

I'm picking up a little Metro 2033 in this character.

Or maybe I'm just grasping at straws.

Zigwolf In reply to Cupidcomet77 [2016-08-19 06:44:02 +0000 UTC]

Wow, I never saw the similarities, I'm aware of the title Metro 2033 but I don't know the story details. I'll have to check that out.

Cupidcomet77 In reply to Zigwolf [2016-08-19 07:28:54 +0000 UTC]

I suggest you do that.

Oh, and if you do, start with the book, and then, try and find some let's play's of the game.

That way, you can cherry pick which parts from which source you like the best, and maybe use those to build up more of Linka's past life underground.

One more villain and then it's Ma-Ti's time.

Still not 100% sure on that yet.
