Jin, Farmer (#40FF00)
[sblock=Appearance]
[/sblock]
[sblock=10 Minute Background][sblock2=Background and Concept Elements]1)Personality: Stoic, not really against-fun but he's a man with a mission, and his mind is focused on that. Now that he thinks he's assured of his place in the war, he will use acts of intimidation liberally if he thinks it will get him what he wants. When caught alone or in a moment of peace, will speak lovingly of his wife and children, and you might even catch a smile.
2)Appearance: Tall, thick, and pale, Jin spends his days working the fields, which has led to him building up muscle over the many years he's been alive. He sports short black hair that is fairly messy, and dark brown eyes that rarely betray his true emotions. As typical for men in his family, he will never grow facial hair and will be clean shaven from the day he is born until the day he dies.
3)Early Life: Raised by both of his parents, Jin had a happy childhood. His father taught him the ways of the land and also the basics of how to wield a sword. This was meant to be a double lesson, as it could help him to not only protect his fields from wild animals, but also to protect himself if it came down to it. Around the age of twelve, his parents introduced him to a young woman by the name of Zhihao, with the hopes that he would marry her.
4)Teens: Jin spent the next few years spending a lot of time with her, at least, as much as possible. He continued to work the fields primarily, more and more having to take over for his parents as they got older in years. Finally, shortly after Jin's 16th birthday, his parents finally passed away leaving the farm to him. A year later, Jin and Zhihao make their relationship official, and get to making kids he's going to need help keeping the farm going.
5)Recent Years: Jin's wife gives birth to their first two children in the 5 years after his parent's death. His life on the farm continues to go well, until a group of Loyalist soldiers appeared on his doorstep early one morning, intimidating them to join their side in the war against the Rebels. He refused, not wanting to take a side. In response, the Loyalists burned his fields to force him off of the land. After getting his wife and kids to safety, he donned his ancestor's armor, picked up his sword and shield, and walked on down the road towards the nearest Rebel camp, planning to pledge allegiance to their side against the Loyalists, to get the fields back for him and his family.[/sblock2]
[sblock3=Goals]1) Come to terms with the loss of his family.
2) Realize that War isn't always black and white.[/sblock3]
[sblock4=Secrets]1) Jin's wife and children were murdered when the loyalists attacked his farm, and being unable to cope with it, convinced himself that they were still alive, waiting for him to return home.
2) Jin has used his ancestor's blade for murder prior to joining the caravan, which has slightly dulled him to the idea of killing.[/sblock4]
[sblock2=People Tied to Character]1) Zhihao - Wife - Very bright and bubbly, was incredibly enthusiastic about helping around the farm.
2) Mei - Daughter (Younger) - Even though she was still a young baby when the rebels attacked, she had a definite fondness for her father and enjoyed being taken outside to watch Jin practice sword fighting. It is likely she would grow up to be like him.
3) Jian - Son (Older) - Just barely was old enough to begin learning about helping on the farm before the rebels attacked. He seemed to take after his mother, being very enthusiastic and almost impossibly happy.
4) Syaoran - A rival farmer, Jin and Syaoran have come into conflict multiple times over plots of land as the end of Jin's farm and the start of Syaoran's have very loose borders, so it can be hard to tell the exact area. They never quite broke out into violence, but they got very heated arguments over land.[/sblock2]
[sblock3=Memories, Mannerisms, and Quirks]1) Sparring with his father as a young child. (Mem1)
2) Uses his hands as well as his speech to convey ideas. (Mannerisms)
3) Reacts strangely to death. Sometimes it will hit him like a truck, othertimes he shoves it off.(Quirks)[/sblock3]

[sblock2=Drives]1) Win their farm back by taking the fight to the "enemy".
