-APPEARANCE-

A light complexion is the shell of Jin's appearance. Long, unruly ebony-coloured hair adorns his head, reaching as far as just above his waistline, with extended bangs that fall above his line of vision, effectively concealing a pair of golden-brown eyes whenever he tilts his head forward. Although Jin's eyes are golden-brown in colour, they are capable of flaring an intense black upon the latter's will, or whenever he draws a considerable amount of power to himself.

Covering the upper area of his lean, athletic form is a slack, raven-coloured T-shirt, beginning just below the collarbone level and falling just below his waistline. A pair of loose-fitting, long, baggy trousers, constructed of a light, thin fabric and also black in colour are worn, covering the vast majority of a pair of coal-black, durable, and somewhat heavy, leather boots. To complete the main body of his attire is a long, dark-coloured trench coat, worn open and, due to personal preference, is donned wherever he goes, in and out of battle. Resting easily across his broad shoulders, the long, lightweight jacket will fall down all the way to his calves, whilst its sleeves end just slightly over his wrists. Attached to his back is a sheath, hidden by the trenchcoat, which contains his sword. A special gift from a fellow mage, the material the sheath is composed of is somewhat unknown, but is hailed for its immense durability.

On a few occasions, worn as some sort of headband around Jin's forehead may be a black bandanna, usually worn as a minor addition to his current appearance, if anything, and donning his hands, and perhaps one of the items that establishes Jin as a warrior, are a pair of fingerless and knuckle-less gloves. To compliment Jin's colour preference, and to match his attire, the gloves are also an ebony black. A pendant, made of a coarse, black cord also hangs from his neck, from which a platinum amulet hangs forth, and completing Jin's appearance.
 

-PERSONALITY-

A silent, unresponsive individual, Jin rarely allows his personal emotions to emerge, preferring to let his actions speak for themselves, in and out of battle. Very much an enigma to those around him, Jin, with his outfit and expressionless facade, will usually emit an aura of mystery and intrigue, as well as the impression of wishing to be alone, which many oblige to. There are few things that can intimidate the warrior, if anything, and upon first glance, he appears to be impervious to human feelings, with the ability to successfully mask his own, if need be.

However, when among a selected few, he conveys a solemn, serious attitude, which perhaps isn't much of a change, but still a change, nonetheless. Though his friends are few, Jin seems to be satisfied with the fact, since he's always alone most of the time. Also, due to the life, albeit short, he lead as a child prior to his capture, Jin can be anti-social at times, which merely furthers his habit of always remaining alone. On top of that, he can be said to be a self-important and self-dependant person with no concern for anybody besides himself, which, in some cases, can be relatively true.

Jin wields a handsome appearance, an admirable appeal that seems almost rare, but is evidently something he doesn't care of, if he even acknowledges the fact, at least. His attitude towards women is perhaps the same, showing lack of, if any interest at all, despite the fact that his demeanour and physique have the potential to attract many. A small indication of his current thoughts, feelings and emotions can be revealed through his gold-like eyes, which are mostly obscured by his blade-like bangs and are known to usually emit a cold, uncaring expression, truly making him sinister when added to his mortal, enigmatic silence.

Jin's only purpose in life seems to be serving his master whom he does whole-heartedly, whether it being by will or force having yet to be fully discovered. Having no happy feelings in his heart, the only thing that seems to truly interest him is fighting. Deep down, however, he also seeks to discover his true origin, and the reason behind his abandonment.

Although working for a evil force, Jin remarkably has a small sense of virtue in the beliefs of the innocent, but doesn't like to reveal or show any indication that he wields it. Considering the life Jin was forced to endure, he can be considered to be evil by consequence, and not necessarily by choice or will. The small essence of good that he keeps hidden inside him may cause his feelings to change for the better, but that's yet to be known…
 

-FIGHTING STYLE-

From as long as the Kushina have existed, its clan members have prided themselves on their unique form of martial arts, as well as their power, which grants them their identity, known collectively as Kushina-ryuu. None, however, have taken it to a new stage such as its latest descendant, Jin. While maintaining the general style of his ancestors, Jin has incorporated it alongside the usage of his most prized weapon, the Murasame, as well as certain other weapons, bringing into light his own style, known as Kushina-ryuu Kobujutsu (Kushina-style weapon fighting). However, due to the Kushina warrior's preference of hand-to-hand combat, this self-created and deadly style is hardly brought forth, although four of his techniques rely upon it, which can also undergo the above rule. In the case of certain warriors, however, there may be, if the need arises, exceptions to this rule.

Jin's stance doesn't belong to a particular technique, and thus he merely stands in a relaxed poise, allowing his clothes to flap freely in the breeze his power causes, whilst his sword remains in it's sheath until he decides to use it. Since his style has no direct relation to any technique, this can give Jin an early advantage before a battle begins, for his opponents will be unable to read his fighting style and come up with a possible way of exploiting the collective data. In the case of warriors like Astaroth, who has fought against Jin numerous times, this may not be the case, as they will be familiar with Jin's style of fighting.

Although Jin is very much an adept warrior in close, cramped areas, his true abilities are released when he fights in open regions and woodlands, having the ability to use any of the surroundings to his advantage if possible. As of such, Jin's strength, speed, skill, agility and stealth are, as of recent, appear to be unequalled, with the exception of Astaroth and, like the said warrior, Jin's moves can be easily executed with style, grace and perfection, a positive result of an arduous amount of training. Jin has no overall fighting strategy, but is most likely to embrace the defensive stature than the offensive. If Jin chooses to fight offensively, then he can become largely aggressive and, in extremely rare cases, can reach a point of viciousness. If on the defensive field, he will allow his opponent to attack most of the time, and if an opportunity for a counterattack arises, Jin will then proceed to punish his opponent with several counter blows. Also, while in the defensive posture, Jin will silently observe his opponent's fighting style, which he will then uses to his advantage when he attacks, if possible.

As stated earlier, the main fighting style Jin will use is Kushina-ryuu, but is also alloyed with a series of other styles he has encountered and adapted to his own accordance.
 

-WEAPON DATA-

Jin's sword consists of what is known as the "Murasame" blade, but with its own unique properties that separate it from any ordinary sword. Firstly, the sword is composed of an unidentifiable metallic alloy, and is virtually indestructible as long as Jin is in possession of it. This blade is designed only for Jin's use, and if anyone else attempts to hold it, it is known to react violently to the wielder. Only the Kushina warrior has the power to use this weapon, and if he places his chi energy into it, it is known to usually radiate an ebony black briefly before it returns back to its normal state, or just remain in its midnight colour. Jin can also place his flames or spiritual energy along the cutting edge of his weapon, and thus his swipes will release trails of dark energy, which can cause additional damage. The sword is also said to have magical properties, which Jin isn't fully aware of, making it a rather potent weapon if used efficiently. Also, in the case of those who don't rely solely on their eyesight for detection, the Murasame has the capability of concealing its magical auras, only making it known upon its master's will.
 

-BACKGROUND HISTORY-

Jin is the latest descendant of the Kushina clan, known for their power to wield the legendary midnight flames of destruction. Born without any parents to look up to, Jin became a dweller amongst Japan's streets, doing all he could to survive and managing to escape from the dangers of crime and corruption. His destined power would remain dormant within him, but would erupt on a few occasions during the initial stages of his childhood, and since Jin didn't know how to control it, those around him would suffer dearly. That would all change one day...

When Jin was around eight, Naar, knowing of his power, sent one of his henchmen to abduct the Kushina descendant, for he saw in him a worthy candidate to join his force. Since there was no need to erase Jin's mind, due to the child having no family to remember or any happy feelings in his heart, Naar simply altered and moulded it in order to suit his purposes.

Since Naar was the only one who knew of Kushina-ryuu, all techniques concerning the legendary style were taught to Jin by the Dark God himself, but any other fighting style outside it would be taught by Naar's most skilled warriors. Their training methods, much like Naar's own, were very strict and demanding, something the young Kushina was forced to grow accustomed to, if he had any hope of surviving. However, this strenuous training held a positive effect, for it was slowly moulding Jin into the warrior that one of his heritage was destined to be. It would be a few months after his introduction to training that Jin would become able to summon forth, although with some deal of effort, the flames of the Kushina.

In time, Jin was introduced to another warrior who was trained under the same principles as he did. In order to test their skills, the pair would occasionally spar against each other, usually within the view of their 'superiors'. Jin immediately met a challenge in this warrior, especially due to the fact that he was able to utilise flames of his own, which were grey. Despite his efforts, Jin was unable to defeat his opponent, in which the bouts always resulted in a draw. The more Jin fought against this young warrior, known as Astaroth, the more he became familiar with his style of fighting and the more his respect and intrigue towards him grew. Eventually, a rivalry formed between Astaroth and Jin, but the duo would soon discover that they held more things in common then they realised, going on to form an alliance.

When Jin was 18, Naar considered his training to be complete and spent more of his time on Astaroth, believing that he wasn't fully complete. Jin, however, considered his teachings to be merely the beginning stages and began to throw himself more into learning other styles, as well as elaborating on his current skills. During this time, he was slowly beginning to ascend within the ranks of Naar's imminent force, reaching the stage of General. With this rank achieved, Jin's success in missions after that, namely alongside his ally, Astaroth, began to grow, increasing the Dark God's confidence in the Kushina warrior. So much so, that Jin rose to a new rank. The rank of a Henchman...

His self-training hadn't gone unnoticed, either, for by the time Jin was 20 years of age, he had mastered many of the arts that were taught to him. His usage of weapons had advanced, granting him the skill to handle and use, to some degree of efficiency, a multitude of different weapons. On top of the fact he was a Kushina, Jin also wielded a frightening amount of power with thanks to his master, perhaps more power than any member of the legendary bloodline.

Now, Naar is curious on the events surrounding the upcoming tournament hosted on Fighters' Isle -- that being the Nine Essences -- and on a new mission are Naar's best, and that includes Jin…
 

-SPECIAL MOVES-

Kagezuki Ken [Thrusting Shadow Fist] - Jin will draw his hand back, whilst summoning chi into it. He thrusts it forward, fist first, about a second later, shooting out a dark burst of energy that rushes through the air at an immense speed towards his opponent. Bearing a similarity, appearance-wise, to Ryu's MvC-style Hadoken, the projectile's size can grant the Kagezuki Ken some anti-air status, and can only knock down the opponent if done up close. Despite that fact, however, the Kagezuki Ken can still inflict a considerable deal of damage to whatever it connects with. Jin's recovery time is also fairly quick, and so the Kushina warrior can almost attack instantly after executing the technique.

Zankuu Kagezuki Ken [Sky-Slashing Thrusting Shadow Fist] - The aerial version of the Kagezuki Ken, in which the energy blast is emitted through Jin's palm, in a standard palm-strike motion. Essentially identical to the Kagezuki Ken, the projectile will inflict the same number of damage as the aforementioned technique. Since executing the technique leaves Jin airborne, the latter can Air Dash immediately after, if he wishes.

Kuutotsu Kyaku [Air-Piercing Leg] - Jin draws his foot back as he plummets himself down at a diagonal angle towards his opponent at a blinding speed, his outstretched leg connecting with deadly accuracy and succeeding in setting his opponent alight in black flame, should it connect. Hits only once and is only available while Jin is airborne. The speed at which he travels will catch most opponents off guard and the technique must be blocked high. If blocked, he will use the momentum of the impact to leap backward in a quick somersault, leaving him vulnerable, albeit briefly as he does so. If he misses with his aerial technique, the latter will land on one knee before returning to his stance. Jin will suffer a split second of lag time before he goes downward and when he misses.

Sakkyaku Geki [Deadly Leg Assault] - Jin's alternate take on King's Trap Shot technique. Jin will lunge forward slightly, somersaulting backward into an upward launching kick. Upon connection, the opponent is taken off the ground by a few inches, before Jin bombards them with a brilliant haze of 10 kicks to their midsection. After keeping the opponent above ground with another leg strike, Jin will pause slightly before delivering a considerably powerful, flame-empowered roundhouse to their chest, signifying the technique's end. The opponent will be sent towards the ground, skidding for a tiny distance before coming to a stop. Like King's version, the first stage must connect successfully for Jin to continue the Sakkyaku Geki technique. If he misses or it's blocked, then only the somersault will be performed and he'll return to his stance, which can leave him vulnerable. The somersault will hold a small portion of priority against some aerial attacks, granting it, although very tiny, anti-air capabilities. If timed correctly, the Sakkyaku Geki can be interrupted by an attack, other than your standard projectile or SC / HC.

Fuusetsu Ken [Cutting Wind Sword] - Jin will dash forward, followed by after-images as he executes a wide slash, a fairly large energy wake trailing its path. If the attack connects, then the opponent will become momentarily stunned, shortly before Jin unleashes a swift series of five slashes, also accompanied by energy wakes, creating an 'X'-style display, before the warrior ends it with an empowered, horizontal slash in a wide half-circle as he lunges forward slightly. Capable of flooring the opponent, should connection occur, only when the first slash is successful will Jin continue the rest of the Fuusetsu Ken, otherwise he'll simply return to his stance.

Hisen Zan [Flying Slice Flash] - Jin will vault himself diagonally forward, the angle at which he ascends dependent on where his airborne opponent is, again followed by after-images as he slashes out in front of him, a large energy wake flashing into focus in result. Should the slash connect then another swift, stronger swipe is unleashed on the momentarily stunned opponent, executed at a specific angle, solely designed for the purpose of flinging the opponent horizontally outwards, and eventually to the ground. Just as the opponent meets the ground, Jin will appear a few feet from his grounded opponent, using his Shuukan Ugoku technique, as he goes back into his stance. A moderately strong anti-air technique, if the first slash misses, then Jin will not execute the rest, leaving the Kushina warrior vulnerable as he descends.

Shuukan Ugoku [Instant Shift] - Jin's power of teleportation. With a dark blurry flash, Jin will disappear to reappear anywhere he wishes, also in a blurry flash with a slight lag upon his reappearance. The Shuukan Ugoku can be done while airborne, with the same effects, in which Jin may -- and, in certain circumstances, will -- incorporate this as his air recover for a quick trip to the ground. Unlike certain warriors, Jin won't take on a particular stance or position when initiating the teleport, but can execute it in any position or stance he was in at the time. The teleport isn't limited by range, and thus can be used as a means of transportation; something that Jin does most of the time. The Shuukan Ugoku is rarely used as a method of combat, but should Jin encounter a person who can initiate a similar technique, and happens to use it in a battle, then the likelihood of him using it is increased somewhat.

Koukuu [Aviation] - Taught to Jin by a fellow mage, is this spell of levitation, or flight, which the Kushina warrior has christened it the 'Koukuu' spell. Very self-explanatory. Executing the Koukuu spell requires no concentration of any sort as it can be done from pure will alone, but, in some cases, Jin may utter the spell's namesake for dramatic purposes, if anything. Just like the Shuukan Ugoku technique, the Kokuu is utilised solely for transportation purposes, restricted towards the means of combat. However, again like the Shuukan Ugoku, the execeptions in this rule will become evident whenever Jin deigns it necessary.

Sankaku Tobi [Triangle Leap] - Using any standing object as his leverage, Jin can leap off the chosen object in an ordinary wall leap. Once the Sankaku Tobi has been initiated, Jin can either descend to the ground, or carry out any aerial attacks that are available to him to use.

Shikkuu Idou [Quick Air Movement] - An incorporation of Astaroth's own respective technique, after observation and practice. Should Jin execute the Shikkuu Idou technique, in addition to a Super Jump, then the Kushina warrior 'flies', whilst generating a dark, fiery aura around his form, leaving a long, thin trail of dark energy after him that instantly dissipates after a few seconds (ala DBZ). With the option of dashing in eight directions (up, down, back, forward, up-forward, up-back, down-forward, down-back), carrying out the Shikkuu Idou will exemplify the advantages of speed, as its title implies, known to catch many off-guard when executed. With Jin capable of interrupting the aerial dash with whatever possible attack / action he wishes, the Shikkuu Idou can be used to such tactical purposes like: ending a jump early by dashing downwards, or to launch a surprise attack on an unsuspecting opponent by dashing down at them from the air. It should be noted, however, that Jin isn't invincible when executing the Shikkuu Idou, meaning that he can be attacked during the technique.
 

-HYPER COMBOS-

Hissatsu Shikou Ken [Deadly Final Limit Fist] - Bringing his arms across, Jin brings his head downward as a dark hue surrounds the outline of his form, to which thin ebony beams of energy draw into him from the surrounding atmosphere for a few seconds. Jin will then bring his hands to the side of his torso, cupping them for a split second before sending them forward just as quickly. A beam, around 6 feet in diameter, of dark energy is unleashed from his palms, screaming through the air and connecting as fast as it's thrown, igniting the poor opponent in dark flames and dealing a great amount of damage. If timed correctly, this can successfully catch an airborne opponent. Should Jin miss, then the attack will end immediately in order to prevent any further wastage of energy, and if connection occurs, but is blocked, then he'll continue for about 5 seconds, as the beam can still create a considerable deal of chipping damage. Can also be executed while Jin is airborne, except Jin will embrace a more crouched stature as he gathers energy into himself.

Shikku Renzoku Zan [Fatal Consecutive Slash] - As the blade of his sword turns black with energy, Jin rushes forward with a impressive, impossible-looking myriad of swift and powerful slashes with his weapon. An upward slash is added to the assault, which is so swift and powerful that a wide arc of chi trails the sword's path. Upon connection, the opponent is raised high into the air and after a split-second of gazing up at him/her, Jin does the Shuukan Ugoku, which sends him to his opponent's location and the onslaught continues. Upon re-emerging, Jin then places a multitude of aerial sword strikes accompanied by trails of dark energy all over the upper areas of his opponent's body (minus the head) for some period, before the technique ends with a downward slash. Whilst Jin descends using his teleport, his opponent meanwhile takes a painful ride, against their will, back to the ground. With the Murasame held almost loosely from his hand, Jin will reappear several feet from his fallen opponent, placing the weapon back into its sheath as he retakes his battle stance.

Kushina Ougi: Kyokuyami [Succession Technique of Kushina: Ultimate Darkness] - Jin brings his fist to the side of him, proceeding to ignite it in midnight flames, and then dashes at the opponent in a blur of speed. A furious blend of punches and kicks in conjunction with his flames are released at the opponent, and Jin follows it up with a powerful, upward leg strike that takes the opponent quite high upward. Pointing an open palm to the ground, an angry, fiery black aura will surround the Kushina descendant and with a yell Jin gives off a black flash, unleashing a HUGE violent column of energy from the ground, completely engulfing his descending opponent in a maelstrom of dark energy. Multiple hits are rained onto Jin's opponent, the impact carrying and keeping them suspended in the air briefly before they fall limply back to the ground, engulfed in spiritual ebony flames whilst the column narrows into dissipation. Jin will then return to his stance after a short period of time, using the time needed to recover from the great expulsion of energy. During the period when the flames consume Jin's hand, he can be hit out of the technique and if blocked or missed, then only the dash takes place and Jin will pause for a split second before returning to his stance.
 

Kushina Ougi: Yougou [Succession Technique of Kushina: Shadow Confrontation] - Jin will procure his sword, holding it vertically upward and a few feet away from his face with one hand. Beams of black energy will emanate from the slender blade's tip and his body begins to emit a dark, fiery aura, causing his clothes and hair to ruffle wildly as he lets his arm drop, holding the sword next to him. Jin's eyes turn black as he gives a loud cry and he will proceed on rushing forward towards his opponent. As soon as contact is made, the area around him and his opponent will become shrouded in total darkness and after a few seconds, it clears to reveal Jin holding his clearly weakened opponent off the ground with his left hand and a blood covered sword hanging loosely from his right hand. With his irises glowing black and no emotion present on his face, Jin will mutter, "Korede owariyo..." (It's over…) in an emotionless tone just before the area around the opponent and his left hand explodes in a destructive midnight fire blast, breaking apart Jin's grip from him/her. Jin then tilts his head downward as he looks at his opponent with his bangs covering his eyes, before his eyes return to its normal colour and he returns to his stance.

Clearly a potentially dangerous move is the Kushina Ougi: Yougou technique, which will do everything short of killing the opponent, should it ever be unleashed. Jin can be struck out of this technique, but this can only occur while he is drawing his power into it, otherwise, once he rushes forward, he will become invulnerable to virtually any form of assault. If he somehow fails to connect with this technique, then not only will there be no damage, but Jin will also be left vulnerable while he recovers.

* Jin's attacks aren't telegraphed by calling out their namesake prior to being used, with the exceptions of the "Kagezuki Ken", "Sakkyaku Geki", "Fuustesu Zan", "Hisen Zan" and the "Hissatsu Shikou Ken" techniques. In the case of the "Shikku Renzoku Zan" technique, Jin may yell out, "Kuraei!!" (Take this!!) and, "MOERO!!" (BURN!!) when unleashing the final stage of the "Kushina Ougi: Kyokuyami" technique.
 

-THROWS-

Seoi Nage: Kai [Over-the-Shoulder Throw: Modified] - Jin will reach out and, if successful, will grab the opponent and throw them over in a standard shoulder toss. However, a few milliseconds before the stage where the opponent would be released and thrown, Jin will ensure that his opponent gains a quicker trip to the ground with a palm strike to their midsection. The final strike will be charged with a considerable amount of ki that will, upon contact, burst into a surge of dark flames, slamming the opponent severely onto the ground for additional damage. Once the throw is complete, Jin will leap back by a few feet in order to create some space between himself and the opponent, to avoid any sudden, unexpected counter-attacks.

Kushina Shiki: Akuzan [Kushina-Style: Deadly Grip] - Jin throws a punch to the abdomen, which causes his opponent to bend forward. Using the quick opportunity to raise his opponent by the neck with one hand, Jin says "Abayo..." (So long...) before his hand erupts in black flames, the force of the blast releasing his vice-like grip on their neck and allowing them to drop to the ground.

Kushina Shiki: Gourin [Kushina-Style: Strong Fall] - An aerial throw, which can be considered to be an adaptation of Guy's 'Izuna Otoshi' technique. Upon grabbing the opponent, Jin will immediately drive himself, and his opponent, vertically towards the ground. An instant before impact, Jin will release the opponent, falling onto his shoulders soon after, which takes the impact as he goes into a short, forward roll in order to reduce the damage inflicted on himself. His opponent, however, will have no such option, as they'll crash unceremoniously onto the ground. Upon completing the roll, Jin will turn around to face his fallen opponent as he goes back into his stance.
 

-FIRST ROUND ANIMATION-

A few sparks of dark energy dance around the ground, instantly bursting into a huge, violent surge of ebony flames, which burns at the atmosphere furiously. As the flames subside, Jin is unveiled, the Murasame held loosely against his side and with his head bowed. After looking up and giving a brief glance at his opponent, as he places the weapon into its sheath, the Kushina warrior will embrace his fighting stance.

Astaroth - The pair will emerge onto their respective sides of the battlefield, via their teleportation techniques, a few inches above ground before gravity dictates its will over the two. Upon landing, both will emit their respective auras, both being weak and faint, in terms of the power used behind them, as they share a small glance at each other briefly. Jin will at this point utter, "Jaa, yaruka?" (Are you ready?) to which Astaroth will reply, "Ikuzo..." (Let's go...) before the two warriors embrace their respective stances.

SD / ShockWave - Jin is shown with one hand raised in front of his face, shortly before he proceeds to adjust his glove, whilst his eyes remain on his opponent. After igniting his hand in his flames, almost absentmindedly, Jin will sweep it down quickly, creating a thin flame arc in front of him. SD / ShockWave, meanwhile, will simply do their generic intro(s).

Memphis Long / Locke Koh - While already in his stance, a dark aura of his flames will flare to life, his eyes glowing black momentarily. Just as his aura begins to fade, Jin will say, "Iza jinjo ne..." (Get ready...) before he fully strengthens his stance.
 

-WINNING POSES-

- Looks down as his clothes ruffle to a passing breeze. May look up and at the opponent after a few seconds.

- Takes off his bandanna, staring at it briefly before burning it with his flames. He then holds the ashes in his palm, in which they are scattered by a passing wind.

- Jin's eyes flash black, before he then teleports from the battlefield.

- Jin will hold out a hand in front of his face, igniting it in a weak surge of ebony flames before he utters, "Korega… Kushina no chikara da…" (This is… the power of the Kushina…) before he kills his flames by making a fist.

- Jin raises his arms towards his chest and coils his hands into fists as his arms are intersected. After slamming his arms back down, a dark fiery aura engulfs him, causing his clothes and hair to ruffle wildly whilst the aura is in existence.

Astaroth - Jin will teleport to the latter's location, before offering the fellow warrior a hand.

ShockWave / SD - With his arms held at his side, a hardened expression flashes across Jin's features briefly. A moment after staring at his fallen, defeated opponent, a small nod is given, followed by Jin teleporting away.
 

-VICTORY QUOTES-

- "……………"
- "Another defeat; another victory."
- "Overall, you were strong. But I apparantly exceed that quality"
- "Do as you wish. It isn't my job to kill you."
- "Just as the shadow has many faces, mystery surrounds the storm..."
 

TAUNT - Jin stands erect, before brushing back a few bangs with one hand and returns to his stance.
