Jin Of Mana

The Strumpet Inn (Open)

Jin the Undying

Onlooker may not have noticed, Jin was rather observant of all taking place. Yet one thing in particular stole his attention outright. Not even a flinch were to be experienced, upon the dragons entrance. No insult intended for said dragon, by far. Jin was merely not easily scared. Not to mention, a side effect of all he's endured, death wasn't something he actively feared. Standing up, he proceeded to stretch and relieve various joints or bones of cracks and pops which may or may not have been noticed by other patrons. Quickly as standing took place, Jin gave the reward of his quest to the bartender. Which the bartender dealt with appropriately.

Excitement overthrew his complexion upon looking at the source of the thunderous sound. Almost dangerously quick, nearly colliding with several patrons as he exited the building. Now standing in front of the dragon. Jin almost bounded with excitement. The look of glee on his face was probably quite an intriguing sight.

Waving arms like an excited child, Jin spoke. " Oi, OI!!!!! Do my eyes decieve me? You are a dragon! How astounding you are!" Arms went to his side as he inspected the dragon. Yet Jin did not move from the spot which he stood. Simply leaning back and forth trying to grant more view of the sight to behold. "I never thought i'd see another in my lifetime. I thought all of your kin escaped these lands years ago?" Jin encountered a dragon once before, yet nowhere near as friendly. If not for his snatch ability and his factor of having consumed water from the fountain of youth, Jin would not of survived the incident. Nor would he of gotten the story behind the Dragons departure of these lands.

Sorry to see you bow-out @Kassarock. Just to let you know, I only am this active today and the next few days due to having time off from work.

While i work, i'll only have time to post once a day in the evening. Even then, some days i may have to ask for myself to be able to only posting once every two days.

But i understand.

*Chuckles from within the darkness*

Let the plotting commence

On a serious note. Liking every-ones posts & characters so far, again i'm greatly looking forward to the events which will unravel within this RP!!

Side-note: I think Jin and Scarper's interactions with one another will be rather hilarious. Not exactly sure why, but i feel it.

The Strumpet Inn (Open)

Not making rules, just suggestions.

Typically in the past with myself and roleplays. The rule which would be: Wait for X amount of posts before you post again.

Just thought i'd chime in with that. Help out the GM or just help generate/start the flow for some ideas

Now concerning the IC. Just to make this clear.. (Please correct me if i'm wrong]

• Ocellus Aquilae/@CanisMajoris2 is present within the Inn, even made a glance at Jin's 'decent' bag of gold.
• Allara/@Yaneznayo recently entered the Inn.
• Taraah/@Forsythe made a rather 'rowdy' or 'abrupt' landing nearby the inn.
• Nyrdis/@thecircus just knocked upon the door to the Inn's kitchen.

I would simply like an 'OK' from someone. So i can respond accordingly with Jin. Still thinking over what that response will be. (Strongly leaning towards getting Jin's reward to the Inn-owner as needed. Then going and investigating the phenomena that is Taraah. Since Jin's easily excitable nature would be hilarious with that scenario.)

Also, anyone, feel free to PM me so we can plot anything concerning this RP. I'm very into the idea of collaboration behind the scenes whether it be for our characters history, or for future events to come!!!

The Strumpet Inn (Open)

Just to let all know. I'll be able to post more towards the evening as of today. Yet over the next three days I'll be able to post pretty much anytime. (Since after today I luckily, or sadly, have three days off)

Right now on my lunch break I took the time to catch up on the character and ic threads!!

Talk to y'all later on in the day/evening.

The Strumpet Inn (Open)

Posted, that will be the only one i can get in tonight. Gotta rest for work in the morning and all that.

Looking forward to all the characters and interactions this RP will hold!! ^_^

Jin the Undying

Previously

Apparently a bad combination of feelings was about to encounter the man who strolled casually. This man was none other than Jin, who was returning from a mission gained from The Strumpet Inn. Walking through an alleyway, which was a 'shortcut' by his consideration, was cut short when pathway was in fact blocked. Two individuals exited the shadows and now stood before himself, while three more awaited for Jin to turn and 'run' from the situation unfolding.

Utterly weakly a smirk etched into Jin's expression as he spoke. "Oi, oi, why don't you spare yourself the energy and pain. Move...

The two men in front of Jin unvailed weapons. One a mace and the other a short-sword. Two men behind, of the three, already brandished their weapons. Both held the same weapon combo as the two in front of Jin. The one who remained unarmed must of been the leader. not only due to the way he spoke, but the way he held himself. Confident.... Every so often, several of the men surrounding Jin, would eye a nearby 'wanted' poster.

" You must be a fool, if you think we don't know who you are... Not only that, who you work for is distasteful. The Strumpet Inn is getting missions involving 'bringing justice' to members of our gang. I'm not particularly a fan of that idea. So payback is most definitely in order.

Laughter interrupted the leaders sentence between talking about Jin and the Strumpet Inn. Once the leader finished talking completely, the others laughed as well while entering a more 'battle ready' stance.

Tilting head left and right. Rotating/shifting torso right and left, each time granting view of the men behind himself, various cracks and pops occurred as joints and bones are stretched. "I'll warn ye one final time. Also, threaten me if you will. But speak or act ill towards The Strumpet inn, or it's patrons, and i'll be forced to act with lack of mercy."

While saying 'lack of mercy' a man standing in front of Jin collapsed along with another man who was standing behind himself and nearby the leader. These men were not only the largest or 'the brawn' of the group, but the men bearing maces. The men muttered something about feeling weak or exhausted... This was due to 'snatch', Jin's talent. This action or play of events also caused the rest of the enemies to act.

Two men, one in front and behind, lunged swords forward. Some may have seen this as a flurry or blur of movements taking place. Jin held his multi-sectioned staff, the first and last piece each blocking a blade. Swiftly as the blocks occurred parries were made leaving the two men disarmed. Pushing forward a kick Jin attacks one man, slamming his staff backwards the second man is also hit. The kick left the mans sternum cracked, the staff hit knocked out (and probably cracked the skull) the second man.

Demeanor of the 'leader' shifted faintly, fear was etched into his expression. Each one of these 'attackers' were ordinary humans from what Jin could tell. The other two men enduring Jin's 'Snatch' technique were still kneeling on the ground complaining about loosing their strength. A heavy sigh exits Jin's lips.

"Disappointing display. You've even lost your confidence. Now do me the favor of telling me your so called gangs name."

Clenching the weapon in hand, Jin looks back over his shoulder at the so called leader. Upon making eye contact, the man informed Jin of the gangs name. Along with informing Jin their actions would cease against the Strumpet Inn and the people of the city. With a wicked smile Jin informed the foolish individual that his wrath would be much worse if these were lies he heard. On that note, Jin continued his venture towards The Strumpet Inn.

Walking into the Inn, as usual, Jin announced his presence. Walking to the bar, Jin places the reward he earned from the mission he completed earlier upon the counter. A decent bag of gold. (The missions he completed, were several mundane escort and courier missions. Taking someone or something from one city or village to the next.)

"Ello! I've completed the missions which i assigned for.... Even one that stumbled upon me. The rouge band which was attacking a nearby city. Ah... I never seem to recall it's name. Sadly tried to jump me as I made my way home. None the less, despite not properly signing up for the mission, it's been taken care of."

Over the last two months out of his six being at the Strumpet Inn, Jin has started calling it his home out loud. Currently he sat next to Veda. Fully knowing her presence or being there, just yet to announce said fact. Motioning to the bartender, he asked for his usual drink. A rather unknown and rare mead which was really only kept in stock due to his constant demand of it. Not to mention said mead was rather expensive.

Jin the Undying

Name: Jin

Title: Undead Jin or Jin the Undying

Age:

Biologically: 27
Chronologically: 67

Gender:Male

Race: Magi

Occupation: Bodyguard, Assassin, Courier, etc.

Personality: Quiet a passionate individual, Jin tends to take action based on whatever catches his interest. Displays aspects of greed, as well as selfish desire; however he will stay his hand if he's given a good reason to stop. Despite the previous attributes to his personality told, he's also shown to be caring or has avidly stepped in harms way for the sake of others, even though many consider him a 'bad person'. Can show tendencies of being aloof, easily excitable or surprised, holding (certain] grudges rather strongly, and can be VERY persistent & stubborn.

Bio: A life of thievery and selfishness brought him to a most interesting adventure. 'Fountain of youth' some called it. 'Water of eternal life' others called it. Years nineteen to twenty-seven consisted of a perilous and somewhat secretive search for this legendary item or drink. Along that way, a couple friends were made. One could even be called, a lover. Yet this search led to a horrific fate. Both the friends, along with the woman who loved him alike he loved her, were slain. Share the fountain waters they said, each would bask in the glory of the outcome. Yet only one serving was there or ever would be. This event of losing his close comrades and consuming the fountains drink occurred a whole forty years ago.

The next forty years would consist of nothing but self loathing and relentless testing of his skills. A few attempts at taking his own life were even committed, though he'd never talk about that. A name would be gained for this man during this time, Undead Jin or Jin the Undying. Some places Jin is highly sought after or better terms, is a 'wanted-man' for his crimes or actions. Other places Jin is nothing more than a mere rumor or legend, passed on by the territories/areas where he's a wanted-man. Currently, Jin resides within the Strumpet Inn. Six months prior to the start of the role-play, Jin arrived and started taking refuge.

What’s in your bag: A three piece staff/bo-staff which is all metal and connected by chains. (Can be 'locked' to make a full bo-staff)

Ability

• Magi-Talent: Snatch - an ability that enables its wielder to "rob" or "snag" physical objects or attributes/abilities of other creatures, without making any actual or direct contact. (However, subject which is being 'robbed' must be within a certain distance from the caster) Distance or 'reach' of this power may be extended when a weapon is in hand. (yet only by the length/distance of said weapon in hand)
• Fountain of Youth consumer: At age 27, Jin consumed water from what some call 'the fountain of youth'. Thus, aging process will not go further, and no matter the damage ensued, Jin will stay/return to the status which he consumed the water from the fountain.
• Enhanced Strength: Many years of muscles tearing, ripping and replenishing back to full health has left Jin stronger than the average human. By far is he considered on par with something such as 'super-strength'. More along the lines of 'enhanced strength'.

Extra: Only thing which makes Jin a 'magi' is the fact he can perform one ability or 'supernatural talent'. Besides that, and one other factor, he's an ordinary human. (Yet does possess strength quite a bit higher than average humans.)
Appearance: First and second images.

I am a drunken galoot!
