APPEARANCE,

Jin's body is thin, trained by the harsh living of the desert, though while most choose to use offensive skills Jin had focused on defensive skills. While always on the defensive, his body not only had taken a beating, but he grew strong and brave. On his cheek Jin has a Y shaped scar from his youth, though its just one of many scars that litter his chest, upper arms, back and legs. His skin is light tan from being in caves or traveling in the desert with his skin completely hidden, though his ears are not pointy, ignore the picture, and his eyes are still piercing. He has long black hair that he prides himself in, cutting it rarely.

AT REST APPEARANCE. When Jin isn't traveling around or going out hunting for food or moblins, he tends to wear these basic pieces of clothing. On his left ear, Jin wears a single grey hoop earring. Upon his chest he wears a loose white shirt with sleeves that reach his elbows and a very large opening at his neck with a small cut in the middle. For his lower half he wears a pair of simple tan pants with the legs wrapped up to below his knees before tied so they don't fall down. Upon his waist he wears faint green wrap that not only serves to keep his pants up but also warm him a bit more in the colder nights.

TRAVELING APPEARANCE without shields and face wrap. However, when he goes out hunting and traveling, he wears several different layers to protect himself not only from the desert heat, but the desert cold at night. Beneath his shirt he wears a skin tight black shirt that stops a bit below the top of his neck, at each wrist, and at his waist. Over it he wears the very same white shirt that he wears at rest, though the ends of the sleeves are pinned down by a pair of dark blue arm wraps which connect to a pair of clawed gloves.

He wears a long tan vest that stops at his knees and to keep the vest from flapping all over he wears a single light tan sash at his waist. His pants have been replaced by a pair of black waist and ankle tight pants that keeps the sand off his body. His shoes consist of a pair of brown sandals that are wrapped around his caffs several times to keep them from falling off when he digs. Around his face he wears a tan wrapping that not only keeps sand out of his mouth and nose, but it also covers his hair fully and ends around his neck. He also has a small tan visor with glass over the eyes that he wears when digging to keep the sand out of his eyes.

On his back sits a metal shield in the shape of a turtle shell that he wears at all times when he is away from the cave he calls home. On his left forearm he has a magic shield that's the same size as the buckler on his right forearm. The design on the magic shield mirrors the turtle shell design of the shield on Jin's back and the buckler on his right forearm.

WEAPONS,

Shell Shield- A dark tan metal shield that fits upon the back of the wielder, as if it was the shell of a turtle. It protects the back of the neck and outward to the shoulders while stopping above the wielder's tailbone. It fits upon his back with two large straps that the arms slip into. SHELL SHIELD

Metal Buckler- A single tan metal buckler that fits upon the forearm of the wielder, using two leather straps that secure it tightly to the forearm. At the widest its about 8 inches wide, while at the longest it goes from the middle of his hand to a few inches past his elbows. It is in the shape of a turtle shell, similar to his back shield.

Magic Shield Buckler- A small metal shield with a tan edge that goes around the entire shield. The surface of the shield itself is flat, but the design on the shield itself is similar to a turtle shell. At the widest its about 8 inches wide, while at the longest it goes from the middle of his hand to a few inches past his elbows. It fits upon the forearm of the wielder using two leather straps that secure it tightly.

ITEMS,

Sasha the Mini Deku Baba. This small deku baba was found in a small area of the cave in some light. Due to the lack of minerals in the soil and only the occasional bug to munch on, it only grew to be 6 inches tall with a 2 inch wide head. Instead of killing it, Jin took the small plant and put it into small pot and kept it as a plant. Now and then, he'd feed it a small bug or two, to keep it well and a bit of water. Because of this, it doesn't attack Jin, but will still snap its mouth multiple times at other, making a small clicking sound. Jin has named this mini Deku Baba Sasha.

When he goes out traveling, he keeps Sasha with him and a small bag that he wraps around his shoulders, the mini deku baba sitting in the top of the bag with its head out. He generally keeps the small plant with him for company, rarely having someone to talk to when he rests beneath the sands or at the occasional oasis.

LISA the Desert Tortoise. This small turtle was hatched from an egg that Jin had 'liberated' from a group of Bulblins. Being a creature of the desert, it was blessed as an egg with power from the Spirit Temple, causing a symbol similar to that of the Spirit Temple to appear on its body. The tortoise has a tan scales, as if it was made from the sand itself and its shell has an orange color to it. Its tail always seems longer then that of a normal tortoise, though its not a fan of it being touched. It seems to be in its 'teen' years currently.

Lisa, in its current size, enjoys walking along side Jin or being carried in both arms. Its shell is about 12 inches from one side to the other, and with its tail and head fully extended, its just over 18 inches. When Jin commands it, Lisa's body vanishes into orange light which seeks and lands on Jin's chest. Upon touching his chest, his body is covered completely in this orange and tan armor, tight against his body and looking like an exoskeleton more then anything, complete with a long tail that Jin controls. In this form, it increases his defense.
LS Style: In armor form, Lisa reduces physical damage a level on Jin's entire body.
(Magic Upgrade 1)

ABILITIES,

Erg: Living within the desert, Jin has learned to move and sway with the sand dunes, also known as Erg. Due to this, Jin has a great endurance, able to not only travel for days without needing to stop, resisting weather of all kinds, but also doesn't need to eat nearly as much if the situation calls for it. This also has combat capabilities, allowing Jin to take a beating and keep getting up, making him a hard foe to take out with a single strike. Supportive Skill.
LS Style: When an attack would normally kill Jin, he can survive with a half level of health, and only one action slot the next turn. He can only do this once per thread.



Reg: Living within the desert, Jin has learned to be as steady and solid as the plains of solid rock, also known as Reg. Due to this, Jin has great strength and defense, able to block a strong blow before returning it with a blow just as hard. Its helped him resist sandstorms and monsters in the desert, making it into a grand life and combat still. Additional training and adventures have increased Jin's overall strength. Supportive Skill.
LS Style: Damage is increased a level. Passive
(Magic Upgrade 1)


Gentry Ability-
Oasis: One who comes from the desert knows the importance of finding an oasis among the sands. Its a symbol of life within the barren wastes that new life seems to spring from just being near one. When this skill is activated, Jin designates an area in which, no more then 10 feet in diameter, appears in the shape of a small pool of fresh water. Anyone Jin sees as an ally who is within the 10 feet of the false pool of water can slowly regain health, healing moderate damage if they stay within the range. The Oasis lasts for 2 posts and can be used every 5 posts.
LS Style: One Post is equal to Low Healing, Two Posts is equal to Moderate Healing. Takes up 1 action slot for only the first post.

RACIAL ABILITIES,

Flexibility

Humans are, above all else, adaptable. They are not exceptional physically or magically, but they’re naturally able at both; this manifests itself as an additional Magic Slot, which can be used for either an ability, item, weapon, in the typical way that a Magic Slot would be used. However, this Magic Slot can never be upgraded.


This is used up on the Magic Shield Buckler. The reflective metal on the shield pulls in magic energy and then fires it back out. It can absorb magic energy once every 4 posts and can be fired out at will any time afterward. The most amount of times it can absorb magic is 3 times for 3 attacks that have a cool down of 2 posts between return attacks. If it tries to absorb a 4th time, there is a magical backfire that bursts out of the shield in a dangerous circle, hurting Jin and those within 10 feet of him. If a magical backfire happens, the shield cracks and can't be used to absorb magic for the rest of the thread.
LS Style: Takes 1 action slot to absorb a Low to Moderate damage spell and 3 posts later takes 1 action slot to fire out a Low to Moderate damage spell.

Jin has no recollection of his parents or his life outside of the desert, though he blames this on a bad bit of amnesia that seems to has come from what ever caused the scar on his cheek. Only flashes of people would appear when he tried to remember, pain would soon follow, strong enough to cause him to pass out when he was younger.

As a youth, Jin rarely left the network of caves in the plateau walls of the Desert Province, fearing monsters and the heat of the desert, lucky enough to have a small natural oasis within the cave. He did explore deep into the caves that he made his home though, finding a small cavern he just thought was a place for cool items when he was younger. Within he found three shields, one that was way to big for him and two that was a good size for him. He would often play adventurer, wearing the large shield on his back and holding the other two in his hands, swinging them around with wild abandon.

Often times, he'd either hit himself with one of the shields or hit his head against the wall, but without someone to help him, he learned to be self efficient with patching up his own wounds. It didn't stop him from being a curious little lad though, and he'd explore deeper into the caves. At one point, when he thinks he was 10, he had encountered a small sandy area with a small bit of light in which a Deku baba sat, though it was no larger then his hand. He began to visit it daily, talking to it and feeding it bug bits.

Its pale colors interested him, and the clicking sound it made more then not caused him to laugh and he'd pat its head. Jin became its friend and named it Sasha. Jin was able to survive within the cave for so long due to large amounts of dried food that was within a room in which sunlight seemed to keep dry. However, by the age of 16 the food has almost all but run out, Jin barely eating as to not run out of food. He began to make trips into the desert during the dusk and dawn hours, being attacked by monsters that lived in the sand but blocking them with the shields he found.

Knowledge also seemed to be provided within the cage, as he had found what seemed to be a library filled with information on the geology of Hyrule, information on fauna and flora(he showed Sasha what she was supposed to look like) and the different races. It was all so interesting, but the desert was dangerous, and his caves where safe, though the desire to see more of the world was fascinating. He also found fiction stories, though he couldn't tell the different between these and the references he had found. It was in one of these fiction stories that he had found out about fighting, and he began to copy what some of the ways the character's fought.

Gerudo character's were most interesting, even though there never was a guy. They were warriors who would bow to no one and fought with great skills, and he liked the ideas of his shields becoming extensions of the body. He began to train himself more, challenging the monster's he could only hope to win by protecting himself. Blocking then striking became the way he fought, and he soon mastered the weapons, or at least he thought. One night, when he was 20 years old, he had returned to the cavern he had found the shields in, knowing now it was a tomb for someone. The shields felt heavier then normal within the room, and a poe appeared before him, its lantern bright.

It was the spirit of the person who had died in the cavern, an old soul but kind. It spoke about how it had saved him as a child, taking Jin into the home he had made for himself with a friend. This friend betrayed him and killed him in the night, burying him within the cave and then leaving. Jin thanked the poe, and the poe gave Jin his old clothes, saying that it'd be better then the rags that Jin had now. This was also when the Poe made a request to Jin, to find and kill the man who had betrayed him and steal back the pendant the man had taken. Jin accepted, deciding that this would be a perfect reason for him to leave the Desert Providence.

It only took two years and hundreds of battles with moblins and monsters for Jin to finally reach an area he could use to get over into Hyrule. He had escaped the desert and made his way into Lake Hylia, by failing from up high and smashing into the water. Luckily, he didn't die from impact, but it was almost close. Now Jin searches for his savoir's killer.

During an adventure with a man named Remis, Jin learned about what a Gentry was and decided that he wanted to be one, thinking that by being in such a position would only lead him to greater adventures like the one that Remis had taken him on. He holds the position, though, he also seeks to meet the one known as the Champion of the Human race.
