DESCRIPTION
Pale, for starters. Not just the skin, but everything. Plantina-blonde halflong hair, grey eyes, dresses a lot in stark white - the color of mourning in China. Jinx is a driven and dedicated person with more than a bit of a cruel streak. She is not just willing to kill, she's more than happy to. Heartless Devil-Flower, her roommate, is also a cousin of hers.
HISTORY
Let's first begin with The Murder Sages. Roughly one century ago this secret society split off from a group of scholars who called themselves the Western Sages. These Western Sages studied the strange devices and philosophies from the western european countries, partly out of curiosity and partly to see if they posed a threat. The details are lost, but one brash young scholar became fascinated with the technology of firearms. A simple peasant, with no training, could kill a low ranking warrior with a single shot! People with strongly cultivated chi could still stop a bullet in flight with their inner power alone, but they had the advantage of kung fu on their side. If only there was a way to combine the western weapon with eastern martial arts, he would have a supreme weapon capable of conquering the wulin.
The resulting society he founded, the Murder Sages, have long since let go of that dream, despite perfecting the kung fu he envisioned. Their founder was a fool who had no clue as to the true power of kung fu, nor of the God-Weapons that easily outclassed his pistols and rifles. But guns still proved useful as tools for assassins for hire, a task the Sages perform all too well indeed to fund their continuing search for cutting edge technology that is useful for martial artists.
And Jinx? Well, not much to be said really. She's a gunbunny that enjoys things that go boom and have big calibers. The Sages were a natural choice.
Startling Damnation is the hallmark power of her family, who specialize in manipulative and treacherous techniques (something more evidently seen in Heartless Devil-Flower). Through it one can twist and pervert Joss being brought to bear against them; Xia Joss is strolen, Corrupt Joss is reversed. Whichever of the two is used, Jinx adds the dice to her pool instead.
NOTES
- Way of the Gun is based on the Gun-Kata from the Equilibrium movie.
