Name: Jinn Campbell Alias: None Date of Birth: March 27th, 1992 Age: Seventeen Nationality: American Ethnicity: Japanese Blood Type: A+ Height: 6’1” Weight: 175 Hair Color: Brown Eye Color: Brown Handedness: Right Sexual Orientation: Straight[/ul]
Physical Appearance:

Jinn is a tall lean and firm character. With a competitive nature, and athletics since he was young, his body was kept in good shape. In order to keep up with his Martial style, Jinn’s body needs to be kept hard, dense and tight, well toned, showing off the muscular aspects of his body. His workout is evenly spread throughout the body, rather than focusing on one or two distinct areas, this usually results in more work, but also offers greater range in strengths and the overall muscularity and fitness of the body. Attraction wise, he does alright. There isn’t much else to say. [/ul]
Apparel & Accessories:

Clothing generally consists of more sophisticated wear. A nice pair of jeans, light or dark, associated with a tight undershirt with a white or black jacket over top. Foot wear consists of classic brown/black dress shoes or normal sneakers. Only variation from this formula consist of fancier evenings or events in which Jinn will wear something snappy like a suit, or when he is working out, where Jinn prefers to wear shorts and whatever loose top there is to offer.
The only accessories Jinn would have consist of a simple chain on his jeans and leather, fingerless, gloves often around his hands. [/ul]
Personality:
[/url]
An over-confident but well meaning person, more interested in enjoying life than partaking in responsibilities. He is quick to dismiss subjects that do not interest him and will often carry out his actions with a devil-may-care attitude. He has a rather dry, witty sense of humor which he is known to flaunt around, sometimes excessively. However, he isn’t rude. Rather, he’s a friendly character, often enjoying the presence of friends and family when he can.
With a rather cocky look on his surroundings, it could be said that Jinn is either brave or idiotic. Unless under extreme circumstances, it is rare to see him back down from a challenge, always willing to give it a shot. He’s a fighter at heart, even at a young age, and when he has his mind set on something he is determined to work for it, hence why he has been training in the arts for so long.
He’s smart, in simple terms; a keen character that knows his surroundings and judges the people around him. He keeps up in classes, and makes sure to watch out for his friends and allies. However, it’s best not to cross him as he is known to be the first to throw the punch. [/ul]
Combat:
[/b] Pradal Serey: A type of kick boxing. The style is very similar to that of Muay Thai and is taught around the world, originating from Cambodia. Pradal Serey is the same as Kbach Kun Boran except it does not include weapons or Mae("core techniques") and is more focused on winning a bout. While most well-known for its kicking technique, which generates power from hip rotation rather than snapping the leg, Pradal Serey is founded on four techniques which consist of: blows of the fist, kicks (comprising of kicks from the shin and feet), blows of the elbow, and blows of the knee. The clinch is also used to wear down the opponent. Compared to other forms of Southeast Asian kickboxing, Pradal Serey tends to emphasize more elusive and shifty fighting stances. Compared to Karate, punches are allowed to the face. In fact, attacks are allowed everywhere except the back and groin. Of course, that hardly matters outside an official ring. It does have high aerial attacks like traditional martial arts such as Chuhgong Hauh(flying knee).
Weaknesses: Strength as of the moment is relatively average, Jinn working for the more agile role during a bout. His stamina is also relatively low meaning that while he can punch harder than most other agile enemies, he also has a disadvantage of keeping up for as long of a time.
Strengths: Jinn is rather fast and perceptive, allowing him to watch for incoming attacks from the opponent. This means he has more opportunity to counter enemy attacks and move in on the opponent before said character can pull off anything game breaking. [/ul]
