Lindy Karsten is a character from CrossGen Entertainment's Sigilverse. She appeared in the Solus series.

Character details

She is a small, intelligent, somewhat nerdy young woman with a green gem between her eyes. She wears a yellow jump suit with her sigil logo on the front and big metalic gloves on her hands.

Linday Karsten is an elite games designer. She builds and plays fancy virtual reality games (like futuristic MMORPGs). When Solusandra appears in her game, she goes to help this "unknown user" and when they make contact, she loses her sigil (or so she thinks). Lindy's virtual game is shut down by Solusandra. Lindy, hoping she has a chance of regaining her Sigil, follows Solusandra onto Solusandra's strange world.

Lindy travels with Solusandra first to the planet of Abyelos (where she convinces Solusandra to let the Sigil-bearer Mikos have some time to solve the problem he created). Then she follows Solusandra to the world of Elysia, home of The First. On Elysia, Lindy becomes strangely powerful and grows to gigantic size. Angered by the attacks from the First, Lindy lays waste to much of the landscape before being shrunk back to normal size by Solusandra. Lindy gradually realizes that her power is not gone and it is returning to her slowly over time.

With the CrossGen bankruptcy, it is not obvious how she was going to be used in the war against the Negation (or if she was to be used at all).

Lindy Karstan is one of the more unusual Sigil-bearers. As a game designer she doesn't appear to have met many terrible challenges though as a virtual game player she seems to be skilled at leading a raiding guild.
