Personal LJ/DW:
Method of Contact:
Characters Played: None
Character Info:
Name: Jin Uzuki
Age: 35
Canon: Xenosaga Trilogy (video game)
Pull Point: Third game, post-death
Background Info:
History: Jin's History
Personality: Jin comes off as a pretty easy-going guy. He's easy to talk to and is likely to have a calm expression on his face. When it comes to people, he's very good at reading them. In fact, he is one of the few people who did not think that the android KOS-MOS was as emotionless as she seemed. He even became genuinely angry when she was wounded.
He tends to have a wise, mentor-like air around him, though he isn't one for apprentices. Jin's casual attitude towards real life, especially his way of living, is a constant source of annoyance for his sister, such as taking things too easily. Jin would prefer things to be resolved calmly and quietly, without battle or all the fuss that comes with an argument. At times, he'll even remain quiet himself and allow the situation to calm itself. That being said, Jin can also be a passionate man. When he aims to do something, he sees it through to the very end and doesn't forget to make sure he's left his mark. He will fight with all he has to protect what's important to him, without a second thought to his own well-being, going to his own demise, even though he was afraid, but knowing that to protect the universe and the people he cared about in it, it was what he had to do. It is discovered at that end that what he was seraching for all along was peace.
Jin cares deeply for the well-being of others. While he complained that his 'patients were annoying' when he ran his medical practice, he tends to an injured man on the side of the road, knowing what he will one day become. He also cares very deeply for his sister, despite the way she treats him. When he shows these things, however, he comes off a little pushy, or a little too calm or may seem to 'brush-off' things. Teasing isn't out of the question, either. It's simply Jin's way of showing he cares.
At one point, his former lover calls him manipulative. To a certain extent, this is very true. Jin prefers things to go his way and will try and steer them in that direction, but he's pretty subtle about how he does this. In a conversation, or in battle, he hates to lose. Jin uses this, though not completely consciously, to push people away. He doesn't see keeping a distance as being lonely, but rather in the best interest of those around him. The only one he really cares to get close to is his sister, though he undoubtedly makes real friends with all of the people he travels with, probably the only people who can deal with him.
There are times, especially in emotional situations, Jin will take the role of a commander. While he does feel for people and their problems, he would rather keep his distance about them. His 'commander' side might not seem all that different, but he undoubtedly is. He becomes a bit colder, seemingly unfeeling, and doesn't take anything from anyone. He barely hesitates when it comes to raising his blade against even his own sister, if it means the protection of the universe itself.
Jin has a fondness for the past. For instance, instead of using a gun, or the lasers that are the common choice in the modern day, he prefers the use of a sword and he will even dress in older, japanese clothing toward the more form fitting and practical clothing in the time period he comes from. He's a scholar, and loves investigating the old and the mysterious and learning all he can about it. All of it is really more of a hobby than anything, but it is what makes him Jin.
While he might not necessarily be the most open guy, he does come off rather friendly to strangers. He's not against having conversations. He is one of the few to be able to actually have a conversation with the android KOS-MOS, who is said to be emotionless, in regards to his sister.
It is important to note that Jin seems to practice Buddhism.
Game Specific:
Arcana: Strength
Justification: Throughout the series, Jin shows several of the attributes, despite everything thrown at him. Not only does he seem rather optimistic, while staying in the realm of reality, but he is among the 'stronger' characters in terms of resolve and fortitude. He willingly draws his sword against the sister he loves dearly to stop the ones throwing the universe into chaos and faces his death unflinchingly. He even admits he's terrified, but has resolved to move forward, knowing what he has to do. He does not stand down in the face of danger or adversity, whether it be against a family member, a foe, a former friend or even death. Jin will see things done that must be done, even if it may be painful.
Samples:
First Person Sample: [It begins with quiet, thoughtful sounds, a little distant from the convenient little communications device.]
I see.
[Just as thoughtful as those pondering sounds just a moment ago, a bit closer and more clear.]
This is a rather interesting device.
[Jin's voice is calm, almost inviting. He seems entirely unconcerned about the situation, which, maybe he is. Or maybe he's just knows how to keep a straight face.]
I'm sure you hear this quite often, but I'm rather interested in this new land, Prospero. Would you mind telling me a little more about it?
[While he spends a little time information gathering outside.]
Whatever you have is appreciated.
Third Person Sample: A strange new world to explore, to learn and make home in, when there should be no home for him to make. It makes him wonder how much of that fight was a dream, how much he still does not understand about the universe and the people he's come to know as friends. He's concerned, not about his safety, or the fact that he does not truly understand how this world exists, how traveling through time to a place lost is exactly possible, but for those who might be here, too. Those who've yet to speak to him, find him among the other citizens.
Ah, but there is so little time to worry about things out of his reach. He is a normal human in yet another world filled with its own kind of monsters--not Gnosis or enemy soldiers, not men fighting for an end that did not come close to justifying the means or machines. They call them Shadows, strange beings that come during this one hour, fierce and persistent. Well, he knows quite well how to deal with these things, doesn't he? He was, after all, probably the most normal, sword-swinging human in their little group of misfits.
Jin shifts his stance, defensive rather than offensive. This is easy enough, he thinks, gazing at a few shadows, just enough to keep him on his toes. At least he won't be bored, with another extra hour in the day.
