2K Jinx (RLS CAS)

2K Jinx is a "mascot" CAW created in the likeness of Visual Concepts' Creative Director Lynell Jinks. Preceded by a more generic, THQ Man inspired character called "2K Man", ReverseLegSweep's take on the character first debuted in WWE 2K18 and has been recreated in both 2K19 and 2K20.
A 2K22 version of the character is planned.
== Overview ==
=== Conception and first iteration (WWE 2K18) ===
The idea of creating a character based on Lynell Jinks dates back to what is now the WWE 2K Mascot project on the 2K Forums, with a similar Yuke's based character based on Bryan Williams mentioned but never taken past the early "spitballing" stage. 
In November 2017, the first iteration of the character was created by ReverseLegSweep, and showcased in this post of the 2K18 mascot thread.
The 2K19 version was created in-game, but not shared in the 2K Forums thread for that year's mascots.
The 2K20 iteration was created in mid-2020 but not shared in the mascots thread for that game on the forums until June 2021.
