Jin Yukimura is a student and Huntsman-in-training at Beacon Academy. The uncanny opposite of his brother, Jet's surly, cynical, and acerbic behavior is contrasted by Jin's reserved, sympathetic, and dauntless persona. During the initiation with the sudden coincidental moment, his partner happens to be his big brother.

Appearance
Because of his huge disinterest towards meaty dishes, Jin maintained a slender physique and a charismatic expression, stylish short blonde hair, fair complexion, and piercing viridian eyes. Jin has an X-shaped birthmark somewhere on his back

He is not seen without his trademark celestial blue scarf wrapped around his neck, with elaborated classic golden details and a metallic fixation with the word "SIN" engraved.

As for his primary outfit, he dons a deep cobalt blue double-breasted coat having golden lining as the inner layer, it has two thin scarves attached on the back of the coat's shoulder-pads. The scarves are light blue having cursive line of blue flowing to the end of the scarf. The coat is elaborated with golden buttons, a sliver/golden rim, and around the left sleeve is some sort of armlet, underneath it is a brown turtleneck and a pair of golden/orange gloves. Around his neck is a chained necklace with a celestial-blue pendant having a cosmic blue gem house on it.

Jin usually dons a pair of dark blue pants fastened by a brown belt, and wears snowy white boots embellished by cursive accents of Royal Blue. Sometimes, Jin dons a boater hat with a golden rim and stylized grosgrain ribbon.

Personality
While he shares his brother's stoic attitude, Jin has a much lighter tone in contrast with Jet's; calm, charismatic, self-possessed, sympathetic, and rational. He is a shrewd individual, always providing valid reasons for nearly anything that has to do with him. Even the tension brought forth amidst a grueling fight, or the pressure in an environment where life and death are both wagered for, Jin is very unflappable, and is capable of keeping his calm, collected, and quiet persona while fending himself from perilous dangers and formidable enemies.

Even in battle, Jin calmly shows a respectful and candid manner to his opponents, even if they are not friendly nor patient, applauding them as a gesture of his self-possessed behavior. However he is aware not to overuse his own kindness which could be an exploitable factor to be manipulated by the enemy, he would not pry on their personal affairs even if he has the will to do so. He shows passion and honor for continuing his family's legacy and is quite humble towards it as well. Despite having his depiction of respect, he has doubts and flaws that contradicts his usual behavior. In spite of shrewd and well-mannered behavior, he dislikes the concept of formality; he just wants people to be their usual selves without showing off a proper and high-classed manner.

He is more than just a collected man with a few words, Jin is very ebullient, and carefree whenever he expresses his artistic perspective in the form of breakdancing to the point where all of his problems and doubts are mostly flooded away from his mind by simply listening to any catchy dancing beat, then groove to its vivid beat. He feels very relaxed and cherished when he dedicates his free time in graphics designing or stroking the brush held in his fingers to create wonderful and well-painted portraits, Jin is willing to teach painting service to those who feel envious, or wanting to be like him; a virtuouso painter.

Backstory (Under Development...)
Raised within the village of Kisaragi, Jin is the youngest child of the current generation of the Yukimura clan, being born a year later after his brother was given birth. Sharing his brother's fate, his father was also overprotective when it comes to raising the both of them whenever their mother is out engaging in expeditions and bounty hunting.

Jin would always cling to his brother's arm whenever he's afraid of something so absurd such a tsunami or ghosts, though this doesn't irritate Jet but only disturbed him from doing the things he usually do to pass the time. Trying to be much braver like his brother, at the age of 4, Jin attempted to be like his brother when he saw a lavender-haired girl, who was visiting the village with her father to meet an old friend of his, for being bullied by a group of big kids in the village because they saw her reading books, the bullies were soon disturbed after one of them was whacked in the head by Jin, who was holding a stick he picked up.

The bullies soon directed their attention to the blonde kid,  Jin immediately alerted the new girl to run away, soon after she fled, Jin was nearly beaten up to a pulp if were not for his big brother and his mother to come to the scene. Jin was brought back to their home but not before the girl went back to thank him, Jin replied back with a thumbs-up and a bloodied smile revealing one of his teeth has fell off. She rewarded him with a celestial-blue bracelet with a bright blue-gem transfixed on the center, she left with her dad after saying goodbye.

Beginning at the age of 7, Jin was on his path to become a well-trained warrior of the village after Snow's decision of teaching a portion of his Iaido finesse at his youngest. He begun to start his daily routine in the art of crafting the sword with the help of his father, and for a successive 4 years, at a rather marvelous rate as he seems to be like Snow, one step at a time.

Abilities & Arsenal
Niflheim Armament (Playback-Dust Variation Katana) :

Description: It's basically a glorified katana. Built with a blade measuring about 4 ft. long, it's detailed in a lucid golden tone. The seppa (spacer) is design-wise akin to a praxinoscope's circular disc-like with 5 slots used to insert a wide variety of Dust on it, the tsuka (handle) has patterns of swirling yet eccentric blue lines with whitish-silver as the main color scheme of entirety throughout the hilt. A metallic ornament with a golden outline shaped can be seen hanging on the bottom of the hilt.

Functions & Features: While it lacks a complete alternate mode since Jin believes that execution and skill is how to measure a weapon's worth, the golden-blade is a great conduit to channel the Dust in its circular praxinoscope-designed canalizing chamber, aptly called Nibelugenlied, by simply spinning it clockwise after all 5 Dust Slots are filled, spinning it without Dust (at least one or more) will have no effect on the blade. On top of Nibelungenlied is a circle with a bright blue arrow pointing downward, should the Chamber stop with a Dust Slot being pointed by it, that Dust type will empower the blade with its respective properties. Spinning the circular Dust chamber in reverse results an escalation on the already Dust-imbued blade with much stronger Dust energy, but this alone makes any remaining supply of the selected type to drain rapidly.

Combat Abilities: Jin performs exceptional dexterity and finesse in an gracefully elegant manner shown in his swordsmanship, most notably his fast-paced mastery in the art of Iaido. He compliments it through his unusually fast speed and keen precision enough to deal a critical slash or a precise strike while brandishing his katana at such great speeds whilst maneuvering throughout the field.
 * Iaido/Battojutsu Competence: Jin possesses a very-high manner skill in the real-life swordplay of Iaido/Battojutsu. Because of his weapon's reach, he greatly excels in keeping him and his opponents enough distance from each other, then connecting that distance to strike unsuspecting adversaries with an unpredictable swift draw of his katana, momentarily creating a whitish-blue blur along the air with the slash his strike has exerted. He normally sheathes the blade back to the scabbard after an attack, but Jin can execute adept and elegant swordsmanship without the need of drawing the blade back. Even with little knowledge in unarmed combat, Jin prefers to chain his katana strikes with fast-paced kicks to provide little space away form his opponent.

Ken'no Mai (Dance Of Swords): Jin's Semblance. With his extremely high pool of Aura, Jin is able to manifest it in materializing blades out of Dust, then immediately launch them towards enemies. The blades that he fired are restricted to one straightforward trajectory, but makes its restricted maneuverability with a high count of how many blades he can launch in one go. The blades will immediately disperse if they stabbed/slashed/skewered something or someone, go beyond the limits, or simply miss their target without hitting something solid.
 * Precision: His precision greatly places his swordsmanship at a significant level of skill, making his Iaido-strikes perform at full precision enough to parry or block certain attacks. Combine this with his fluid speed, and his strikes are like a meteor hard to be evaded. He is able to aim such precision that he creates a strike of 2-3 hits with only a single swing of his blade, though it has been a misconception that he can hit distant enemies through such accuracy.
 * Speed & Agility: Jin is incredibly quick on his legs, said to be in par with that of his brother's and provides great boost to his swordplay while quickly sheathing his blade in and out.
 * Dust Mastery: Dust plays vital role for Jin, because it gives him on what he lacks about his weapon. Not only that, his Semblance is mandatory for Dust to be in use. Because of his high competence of using Dust with his skills, it maybe sure that he's the versatile member of JJNK. His preferred types are Ice & Thunder, which he uses those in forms of snowflakes, blasts, and even to fill up his Semblance (explained below)
 * Technological Intuition: Out of the members of Team JJNK, Jin stands out ahead of his teammates when it comes to technology and mechanics. With a glimpse through his eye, he's able to understand the operations and functions found in any mechanical device, and writing down the possible schematics in a parchment or paper. He can turn certain mundane objects into highly-complex devices though this requires a lot of time and patience to be accomplished.

Jin can extend the blade's power and size, dealing double of what it should normally deal but because of how big the extended blades are, he can only make one at a time and has limit of five during the extension. He uses these surfboard-sized Semblance-generated blades to propel himself towards the target. Aside from extending, he can position a Dust Blade then hold it for a short period to properly aim to the target Jin desires to be hit, these blades can also be positioned pointing-upwards, in a circular manner surrounding their master, or even pointing at enemies nearby to Jin.
 * Impact: Sharpens and materializes the blades with an eerie silver-white glow. Skewer/stabs/slashes anything that goes in its way. It can pierce a hole on a bark of tree, and with enough concentration, capable of splitting bullets in halves in its path. The blades of this Dust type appear in a whitish-yellow glow and emits a soft golden glow
 * Fire: Wraps around the blade in a wreathe of golden flames that will sear anything it pierces through, or trigger a short-ranged but severing explosion who gives excruciating burns to anyone caught within the blast. Fire Blade display a swirling cloak of scarlet whilst emitting a harsh glow of orange.
 * Ice: One of Jin's most preferred types. Those who are hit by it are frozen for less than 7 seconds, or can manifest a trail of gem-like shards of ice along the ground, through the extension of size, Jin can do the infamous Ice Car attack. Manifested Ice Blades appear in a Celestial Blue glow accompanied by a radiant silver glow.
 * Thunder: Another of Jin's preferred types. A halo of light-blue surges throughout the blade like surging electricity, indicating that it will deliver an area of electricity that will shock and stun those who are unfortunate enough to be in the area, this also affects allies as well. Thunder Blades are golden-orange and emit a streaming glow of running electric blue glow.

Character Relationships
Jet - His counterpart, older brother, and coincidental partner. Sure, they do share moments of needless arguments, childish bickering, and to the point of engaging a grueling battle in dead-heat, but in the end, the Yukimura Brothers hold an unwavering, steadfastly loyal, and loving bond with each other. Jin was the one to motivates him to open up to meet new people, which he reluctantly did.

Natsumi - Jin expresses the same feeling as Natsumi's: solitude. At first, she is reluctant in listening and heeding his orders as the second-in-command, but their bumpy friendship soon started to improve along the way. The only Jin dislikes from her is her unhealthy obsession with cluttered-up dubstep, and sometimes Natsumi relies on his technological nogging whenever she needs to improve or fix her or other's weapon.

Kurenai - Should he and Kurenai are in a conversation, chances are that Jin is going to shiver a bit because of the Carabao Faunus' intimidating stature thanks to his horns. The two are in cool and friendly terms, just that Jin is too reluctant in having a chat with him.

Clancy - The CEO of the Redwood Distillation & Winery Services and a bumbling cousin of his father's. At first of encounter, the young man shrugged off his uncle's offer of teaching complex and advanced techniques of Iaido, but because of his debonair and slacking expression he can't tell if he's serious or not. Multiple times the samurai-cowboy has beaten his nephew in sparring sessions, over time, his losses began to create room for improvement and is grateful towards his uncle.
