Seo Jin-Tae

==Summary==
Seo Jin-Tae, codename Magpie, is a main character from Castle. Jin-Tae, much like Kim Shin, Pi Woo-Jin and Kim Dae-Geon, was one of the trainees[Castle #35] under Kang Min-Seung, but much of his past is unknown. He is, however, immensely loyal to Shin and his right-hand man, the one who is most loyal to him and the one who most commonly keeps him company and aids him in both combat and in difficult times. A natural jokester, good-humoured and flirtatious man, many do not take Jin-Tae seriously until it is too late, when they fully realize that he is also one of Iskra's deadliest killers.
==Powers and Stats==
Tier: 
Name: Seo Jin-Tae; Magipe
Origin: Castle
Gender: Male.
Age: On his 20's
Classification: Human; Criminal; Ex-Member of Iskra; Member of the Hoeam Faction
Powers and Abilities:
*Superhuman Physical Characteristics
*Acrobatics (Grabs a man like a human shield, uses him to propel himself into the air, uses said impulse to throw a wide attack, immediately after he lands on a wall, only to propel himself again and do a similar feat again[Castle #27])
*Enhanced Senses (Fighters at his level can generally feel danger, detect things easier than most and fight even with their sight hindered; Feels Komodo's presence[Castle #89])
*Analytical Prediction (Fighters at his level are able to predict the foe's next movements, even those at their skill level, extremely quickly and mid-fight, using it in order to, for example, deal with weapons)
*Information Analysis (Can generally infer one's capabilities and strength by observing them; Fully read a feint that an opponent attempted to perform and took advantage of it to defeat his foe[Castle #26]; Analyses Pyo Young's fighting style, with its strengths and weaknesses, quickly and in the middle of a fight[Castle #41]; Noted by Min-Soo's behaviour in a fight that he was used to brawls and fighting with people armed with knives, and it is implied that fighters on his level can recognize skill gaps[Castle #75])
*Martial Arts (Jin-Tae is an exceptional martial artist, capable of exchanging blows and dominating even professional boxers in sheer skill)
*Pressure Points (Jin-Tae is one of the foremost users of pressure points of the series; Woo-Jin noted how he kept hitting, repeatedly and on several different opponents in sequence amidst a brawl, only the vital points of his foes[Castle #18]; Paralyses Pyo Young and momentarily makes him feint with a single pressure point blow to the ribs[Castle #42])
*Weapon Mastery (Jin-Tae's specialty is with knives in fighting, and while skilled in unarmed and with most forms of weaponry, he shines with knives, making a mockery out of most knife fighters in the series)
Attack Potency: Wall level (Is one of the strongest fighters on the series, despite being somewhat of a weak hitter on his class of fighter, with Shin noting that his blows often lacked weight to them[Castle #58], being considered Shin's right-hand man on serious fights and one of his peers, and while weaker, can still spar seriously with him frequently as part of their usual training regimen, and Krot noted that Shire could die very quickly if they messed with Jin-Tae[Castle #12], and Jin-Tae himself noted that he and Shin often beat people that had a similar fame to Dae-Geon[Castle #14], backed up by Deok-Su, who, before seeing Kim Shin join in, thought that Jin-Tae was by far the greatest threat in a all-out brawl, greater than Woo-Jin or Dae-Geon, with Jin-Tae easily beating twenty men at the same time and considering it boring[Castle #18]. Exchanged blows with the likes of a somewhat serious Shin[Castle #57] and Busan's old guard[Castle #43], with the latter recognizing both him and Shin as being ridiculously strong[Castle #43], and Jin-Tae believes that as he was at the time, Pyo Young would never beat him, even if they fought a hundred or a thousand times[Castle #49]. Min-Soo believes that his strength doesn't come close to Jin-Tae's own[Castle #87]. Bo-Min thought that Jin-Tae was on the level of the upper echelons of Castle[Castle #25], something that Tae-Jin also believed him to be[Castle #33]; Sent a man flying with a kick[Castle #18], slammed Pyo Young so strongly against an arcade machine that it broke[Castle #42] and kicked Min-Soo with enough strength to send him flying and crack a door's window upon hitting it[Castle #75]; His thrown knives can dig themselves into concrete[Castle #1])
Speed: Peak Human in movement speed, Subsonic in combat and reaction speed (Is abnormally flighty and quick for his class of fighter, with Shin himself praising his speed[Castle #58]; A hardened thug, used to fighting, couldn't believe that humans could move as fast as Jin-Tae and Shin did during a brawl[Castle #19], with another man who was being blitzed by Jin-Tae questioning if he was even human by how fast he moved[Castle #27]; Easily blitzes and avoids all attacks from a professional boxer, with said boxer, Kang Man-Jae, noting how hard it is to catch him[Castle #5] and casually blitzes several men at the same time[Castle #18], and could blitz even Masa[Castle #5]; His thrown knives can cover distances of a few dozens of meters almost instantaneously[Castle #1]; Pushes pistols that are about to fire away from him consistently, quickly and at very close range, even perfectly interposing the shooter's body to intercept bullets from other attackers[Castle #90])
Lifting Strength: Peak Human (Grabs and throws Pyo Young[Castle #41], generally overwhelming him during their fight; Can often compete with people on this level)
Striking Strength: Wall level
Durability: Wall level (Took blows from Shin that sent him flying for several meters repeatedly[Castle #58], and can often exchange blows with people on his own level)
Stamina: Peak Human (Can still fight when injured for long periods of time)
Range: Standard melee range, several hundreds of meters with weaponry
Standard Equipment: Usually carries two knives with himself, but can get weapons like assault rifles and pistols when needed and if given time to prepare
Standard Tactics: Jin-Tae is a fighter that, when possible, attempts to solve conflicts nonlethally, using all of his speed and skill to nonlethally injure his foe, and usually only using his knife if he deems it necessary or if the situation is serious enough to employ his full ability, in which case, he no only overwhelms the opponent with speed, but also immediately goes for the vital or at least disabling points of the foe in order to, with the least amount of force exercised, dispatch them.
Intelligence: At least Average. Jin-Tae is an exceptional fighter, one of the greatest in the series, and often a peer to the likes of Kim Shin and his right-hand man in most affairs. He has great knowledge of Korea's and Russia's underworld and affairs, and is one of the people who knows the most about the ongoing plot of the series. Shin noted that he is an expert conman[Castle #6].
Weaknesses: Standard human weaknesses
==Feats==
Hide/Show
*Martial Arts: Seo Jin-Tae is an exceptional martial artist that dominates the essential principles of fighting and is one of the most skilled fighters of the series, something[Castle #7] frequently noted. He understands how much just unseathing a knife changes the battlefield, which he uses in order to catch an unarmed opponent by surprise with a kick by unseathing said knife but not using it[Castle #5].
*Weapon Mastery: Despite all of Jin-Tae's skill with martial arts, said skill pales in comparison of his skill with weapons, particularly knives which are his specialty. He once had killed an entire organization with only two knives[Castle #12] and brutalized Man-Jae when he finally used knives on him, when previously, he had difficulties landing a good hit on Man-Jae[Castle #18]. Jin-Tae utterly dominated a master of the kabuchiko knife-fighting style, who was previously the greatest knife fighter of the Hasung group HQ in the Hoeam area[Castle #25]. He can throw knives precisely at another target even while fighting with a group of people[Castle #27].
