Humanity
Name: Jin Ifriti
Age: 21
Arcana: Strength
Appearance:
Jin is very petite at 5 foot nothing and about 120 pounds. They are biracial; half African American and half Japanese. They have black, wavy hair worn in a short, easily maintained cut, and have warm brown skin and dark brown eyes. While usually seen around campus in a maintenance jumpsuit, they also wear thrift store clothing on their days off.
Personality: Sharp minded and sharp tongued, Jin seems to have a major chip on their shoulder. Their life experiences so far have colored every interaction toward the negative. They tend to carry themselves with a sense of aggression and defensiveness, ready to fight at any time. There is a hatred of those who “have it all”, which in Jin’s book are the big three: Family, Finances and Freedom. Usually those who have the finances are the hardest for Jin to deal with.
There is a banked fire within their spirit, and a stubbornness to continue despite the odds. Despite having rough language and appearance, Jin is highly intelligent and can think circles around most people. Beneath all the anger and audacity lies the brain of a mechanical and engineering genius. The university’s employees know that Jin can fix just about anything. Computers, cars, all manner of electronics and appliances. High level math is fun and games. There is a deep thirst within them for more knowledge. Sometimes Jin can be found sneaking to the edges of classrooms, recording lessons on their phone that they will never be able to afford.
In their deepest heart of hearts, Jin wants to be normal. They long for this fun looking and “easy” life that people their age seem to have been handed. They despise those that throw this away the most.
Bio: The only child of a police detective and a mayoral assistant, Jin was born into a relatively normal life. They lost their parents at a young age due to a criminal seeking revenge on their father. Homelessness followed, and after that they were placed in foster home after home. The constant shifting and lack of foundation made it very hard for Jin to trust or make connections with anyone. Friendless in school, reticent at home, and with poor grades due to slipping through the cracks of the American school system, Jin was released from foster care at 18 with nothing to show for their life besides a jaded attitude and a few dollars in their pocket.
After bouncing from job to job, Jin finally found a maintenance position at Barclay Waterfront University and has been working there for about a year. In their mind, it is only a matter of time before they are let go and have to move onto the next failure. They have long wondered what the point of life is if this is all there is to it.
Scars:
-Orphan
-Homeless
-Did not graduate
-Undiagnosed ADHD and PTSD likely
Shadow
Appearance: An androgynous humanoid figure with what looks like bloodied bite marks all over their body. They wear rags and are barefoot. Underneath a worn hood, a pair of piercing red eyes shine through.
Personality: Morose, and yet full of rage and hatred, the Shadow is a reflection of Jin’s lack of control over their life. The Shadow is a literal manifestation of the “dog eat dog” world that Jin has learned to navigate.
Territory: The Shadow’s territory is grimy, dim, and looks like a large prison cell. There are what looks like fallen bodies all around; upon closer inspection these are faceless and will crumble to dust at a touch. The longer people spend here, the more isolated, angry, and desperate they will become.
