Character

General

((Jin'li has no moral compass and no real ability to feel emotions as we feel emotions. He has brainwashed himself into finding purpose and satisfaction in obeying his master.))

((Jin'li has great difficulty moving now, his muscles in a state of duress after nearly dying twice.))

((Jin'li is infected with several diseases that are all slowly killing him. They are:))
Bronchiectasis,
Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome
Muscle atrophy
Sickle Cell Anemia
((Translation? Don't let him bleed on you.))

((Jin'li is an eunuch and an albino.))

Appearance

Jin'i is thin and frail for his young age, his illnesses slowly eating away at his body each day. Dark bags are always present under his eyes from never getting enough sleep and his straight hair falls unkempt down around his dark eyes that seem to hold no emotion in them at all. He is very short and the skin that is wrapped around his body is pale and white, though he does not suffer from albinoism. His narrow face isn't unattractive, however, and there was a time when many looked upon his youthful face with lust in their minds. Though time is taking all that from Jin and his body seems to be on a threshold, parts of his physique clinging to the strong, desirable male he once was as the rest wastes away from disease.

Behavior

Jin'li's most notable characteristic is his manners, which border on the obsessive. He is incredibly polite and often requests permission before doing anything. His manners, however, do not change to accommodate the location he is in, instead, always being tailored to his own system of beliefs regarding etiquette.
Jin'li also feel no emotion when it comes to life or death. He knows he will die eventually and so will everyone else. He is a fatalist and holds no fear since he thinks he was killed by those who used his body all those years ago. Threats against his person do not phase him, nor does killing another being bother him. He is cold and calculating, unable to feel emotions the way normal mortals do.
All Jin'li cares about is acting as a pawn for his master. No matter what he is asked to do, Jin'li will do it.

History/Timeline

Birth and childhood

Jin'li was born a slave. As such, his impressions of a person's standing was a very set thing and that he was always lower and must be polite to all non-slaves. He was born sickly. His first master, the slave master of a pleasure house, had the boy know his first women at the age of nine, and his first man at ten. Jin'li's face made him a highly desirable rental among the patrons of this pleasure house and Jin'li's young mind was forever scared by what he endured until he was age 15.

At 15, his true master would enter the establishment. For reasons Jin'li never truly understood, the man who was to be his new master took pity on the 15 year old Jin'li and purchased him from the slave owner.

Jin'li spent over a year seeing one doctor after another, each finding a more serious illness in him. Some even remarked it was a miracle the boy was even still alive and that he would be better off put out of his misery. However, Jin'li's new master refused to do so, and instead began training the boy in the art of shooting and espionage. His master beat and punished the boy harshly. Despite his illness, the young man earned his master's approval and, for this, he was promised to be a useful pawn in his master's plans but that he would never be anything more to his master. Jin'li felt as if he was worth something for the first time in his life. In devotion to his master, Jin'li castrated himself to destroy any urges he might have that would distract him and to make sure he never had to be reminded of the horrible things that had been done to him in the pleasure house.

Since that time, Jin'li as been a loyal servant to his master. Nothing is more important to him than his master's will, and he would turn on the empire in a heartbeat if his master ordered him to.

New Master

With Adin's death at the hands of Osric, Kanaria, Kahn'a, and Lelani, Jin'li planned to join Adin , but Rema begged him to take a potion before the fight. Jin'li lost, stabbed through the lung and seemed to bleed out. In truth, he came close enough to death's embrace that he was abd to see the spirit of his Adin waiting for him in the beyond. But just before Jin'li could step into death, he was dragged back to his body. Rema had restored him as best she could, feeling pity on the miqo'te. Jin'li's body is now very weak and moving is difficult, but he serves his new master, for she was kind, and saved a slave for no other reason than to let him live. Rema had tried to free Jin'li but he refused and now serves her as urgently as he served Adin.
