Character
General
The adopted son of an Ala Mhigan couple, Jin was found in the snowy peaks by Ragnar Eisenberg. When Ala Mhigo fell to the Empire, Jin went into hiding with his mother where she taught him the ways of the monk. After his mother's death Jin headed towards the City of Ul'dah to find his way in the world. He's been residing there ever since.
Appearance
Jin is tall as far as seekers of the sun go. His long, jet black hair is accented by light brown tips at the end. His skin if fairly tan and his eyes resemble that of deep emeralds. He has a toned athletic build. His lengthy black tail resembles that of a confidant lion, which reflects how he carries himself.
Jin garbs himself in the traditional yellow robes of the Ala Mhigan monks for functionality in combat and to remember where he comes from. Upon close inspection, one can see minor mends in the robes which Jin repaired himself.
Personality
Jin is a quite fellow but it by no means shy. He believes that actions speak louder than words and would much rather see someone prove their worth as oppose to talk about it. He's a friendly and carefree guy.
Lon'qu enjoys hand-to-hand sparring with others regardless of his opponent's skill. If his foe is stronger it gives him room to improve and gauge his own strength while a weaker opponent offer's him the chance to help them improve. When a battle looks like it will become too grand Jin will often lose his focus and jump into the fray to see how many foes he can best regardless of personal safety.
His only other love besides a good scrap is coin. His skill with a needle and thread have helped him earn a steady living wage in Ul'dah. However, he is always looking for new way to expand his gil earning potential.

Combat
General
Having studied under his mother who was a monk of Ala Mhigo, Jin employs the same stances and styles of the Fist of Rhalgr. He uses fast and precise strikes to whittle down and disable his opponents by attacking chakra points. In contrast to his highlander teachers, the young miqo'te favors speed and agility over brute force. Jin was always taught that when you fight, you fight to win. To him everything is allowed when he's engaged in a battle. He doesn't care for those who hold back in a fight because he believes one should always use their full potential.
History
Lost in the Mountains
Amidst the snowy mountain woods of the Gyr Abania Highlands, a small crying miqo'te baby lay there wrapped in a blanket. If it wasn't for a highlander boy named Ragnar, Jin would have died that day. Ragnar took Jin back to his parents were the couple adopted the infant. The cold had weakened the babe and his new parents were unsure Jin would last more than a few nights. Hours turned into days and days into weeks, and the tenacious infant continued to draw breath, growing stronger with each passing day. It quickly became clear that Jin would survive and the Highlander family decided to raise him as their own, a second son. Jin's new mother spent the most time with the child, Ragnar and his father spent most their days training with axes or working the small family forge.
Fall and Exile from Home
When the Empire attacked Ala Mhigo, Jin's father banded together with other warriors from the town in an attempt to repel the invading forces. Their efforts were to be in vain and his mother knew this. Using her martial skills, Jin's mother combined with the raw power of his brother, fought tooth and nail to break imperial ranks and escape from the mountains. Broken, fatherless and now homeless, the family fled south with other refugees eventually coming across a rocky outcropping that would soon to be known as Little Ala Mhigo.
Life in the desert was taxing on the family from the mountain. The outcrop offered little reprieve from the harshness of the arid wasteland. Blistering heatwave sapped the strength of those who worked in the sun too long while the freezing evenings combined with the lack of firewood lead to sleepless nights. The two brothers adapted to the weather, Jin more quickly than his highlander counterpart. Something about the desert felt faintly familiar to him. Jin's mother, however, did not seems to take to the desert as well as her sons.
Days in the desert turned to weeks, weeks became months and months became years. Jin and Ragnar grew stronger with the passing of time, Ragnar with his axe and Jin with his martial skills. Buy the fourth year Jin had to halt his training with his mother due to her declining health. His strength training continued however, learning the ways of mining from the Ul'dahn miners that traveled to the south for rare mythril. It wasn't until the seventh year in Little Ala Mhigo that Jin would have a reason to leave his stoney home.
