Jannin Diyin

Jannin Diyin is a former soldier and chief scientist behind Eternalt's nanomachine project. He lost the use of his legs in battle, then extensively studied technology in order to become stronger and perfect himself. While working for Galisal Ganarma, he gave most of his soul to recover the Shifter Core but then gave it up upon deeming himself defective after losing to the Starrite Guardians.

## Appearance

Jannin Diyin was once an orange-skinned Magic Elf, but since injecting himself with nanomachines, had his skin turn dark gray. He is tall with the usual pointy elvish ears. While covered with nanomachines, most of his skin is covered by the blue nanites which also create large angelic wings. Additionally, he constantly wears silver armor.

## Brief History

Jannin Diyin was born and raised within Eternalt. He joined the magic elvish army and fought to protect his home dimension. On a mission to defend the realm from evil Senothian creatures, Jannin was injured, and permanently lost the use of his legs. This change upended his entire life, no longer being able to serve, so he delved into the study of technology in an attempt to fix himself. He was successful in becoming a scientist and worked for prince Galisal Ganarma in using the Shifter Core to transform beings into Angels.

In reality, he only wanted to perfect the nanomachines to regain his combat ability and surpass the power of pure magic, so that he may prove himself as the soldier he once was. His research was halted when the Shifter Core was stolen, but Jannin worked with the Starrite Guardians to track it down. Their search took them to Hgel, then Quag & Mire's forest, where the core ended up in the hands of said demons. Jannin chose to give up three quarters of his soul in order to take in back.

Next, the Starrites swiftly took him to the desolated jungle planet Wildria and challenged him for the core. Jannin activated his nanomachines but ultimately lost against the Starrites' destructive power. Deeming his creation defective, he gave them the core, gave Golesal Ganarma the nanomachines he currently had, and told them to return him to his lab where he vowed to truly perfect his design.

## Abilities

Jannin has no inherent powers besides the basic magic in his physiology. Despite that, he gave himself power by injecting himself with advanced nanomachines that use the best of both magic and technology.

* **Nanomachines-** Jannin now contains millions of nanomachines, highly advanced pieces of magic techonology, within his body. They are powered by mana but require no knowledge of the arcane to use. The small machines are nearly microscopic, and together, can form a material of any density, shape, or size depending on the quantity.
	+ **Enhanced Biology-** Jannin can use the nanomachines to give himself enhanced strength, speed, and constantly have them support his legs, allowing him to walk once again.
	+ **Nanite Angel Transformation-** Using the full power of the nanomachines, Jannin can use them to cover the entire surface area of his body and give himself extremely improved physical abilities, including increased accuracy and high defense. However, once he activates the form, it begins to rapidly drain his mana.
		- **Angelic Wings-** Along with the transformation, a pair of Angel-like wings are created by the nanomachines. They allow Jannin to fly and glide which greatly improves his mobility.

## Weaknesses

* **Mana Meter Drain-** If one of his items or nanomachines consume too much mana, it leaves him tired and in a vulnerable state. His mana can always recharge after some time or even with Mana Potions, but if completely drained of mana, he is rendered crippled and unable to use any of his powers.
	+ **Mythilin-** Mythilin, or more specifically Gold Mythilin, can be used to temporarily render Jannin unable to use his magic, and by extension fuel his nanomachines. This leaves him powerless, and more vulnerable to attack.
	+ **Qoalitass Steele-** This substance has the ability to completely nullify the mana of anyone of Plawian origin, like Jannin. The more mana in the victim's body, the more effective it becomes.
* **Incomplete Soul-** Jannin gave 3/4ths of his soul to Quag & Mire in exchange for the Shifter Core. This has no immediate effect, but is likely to create long-term consequences for his wellbeing.
* **Acyllium-** This special liquid was specifically engineered for the deactivation of nanomachines. Once injected, it will deactivate and expel all nanomachines within the target's body, making it a very effective tool against those that use them.
