 —Yan, Chapter 0

Yan is a notable character in Corporate Sins. He is known by his other name, **Boss** around the Ironforce Company. He controls all of the Corporate's economy, hierarchy, and diplomacy. He speaks for all, representing the Corporate when attempts to negotiate others from the Communication Department is unsuccessful.

## Appearance

He has a simple look with a pair of black sunglasses, and a black suit with no tie. His eye color is scarlet red, and he possesses most of the Corporate's weapon storage. His weapon is a mechanical scythe that can dish out Darkness damage. He also possesses a hand-held pistol.

In Alter Ego version, his eyes turn into crimson red and it is visible even with the sunglasses on.

## Personality

Mostly he is a very serious person. He has two personalities at work: being dead serious and disciplined, but also sarcastic and obnoxious. He likes when his employees listen and understand his methods of directing. He dislikes when they spread (preferably, false or bad) rumors about him or when they do not unite with each other. He is very loyal to his promises and most likely has never disappointed a certain client with his words. He expresses disgust towards the Terminus Alliance and denies any allegations about him being related to them, simply because he was never a part of them.

Sometimes, in order to get business working, Yan declares lies to ensure that there will be at least, some profit by the time his client has agreed and make a contract.

## Biography

Not much is known or told about his backstory, but he **was** one of the founding members of the Terminus Alliance. After the 5-Year Sovereign War broke out, he was ultimately banished and had to leave unconditionally, leaving Sconzak in destruction and chaos. From then onwards, he tried to run away and work for a few years in Ulkoith, saving up every penny he had. When he reached his goal, he allegedly bought a small production chain company called AntlerInc and began expanding his future goals. He eventually formed the Resistance known as the Ironforce Corporate and set his headquarters in a snowy plain on the North called Eviex, while multiple bases of his branched out to several areas, including the area near Sconzak, where Terminus Alliance is thriving with their oblivious inquisition.

## Power

He possesses multiple firearms in his storage and data bank, but he firmly uses one of them to survive for at least 2 years, that is the "Devil's Arms" shotgun.
He is very talented of martial arts and various styles of self-defense.

SKILLS:

* Knowledge is Key: Gains access to all enemies data and minuscule hints of their whereabouts. If there is no enemy within the 5 meter radius, cooldown for this skill will be reduced.
* Manpower Drive: Immediately summons two elite bodyguards to cover him tactically.
* ENIGMA: Instantly activates Alter Ego. When his HP is lower than 50%, he will unleash an extra status called Bloodthirsty V2, boosting his ATK and Evasion. When the enemy defeats him in this moment, his allies will simultaneously gain the Aftermath status.
* Choice of Life or Death: Delivers different moves that have different functions, including: Uppercut, Block Stance, and Balance Strike. Keep in mind that these 3 moves only deal normal True damage, and cannot fatally kill an enemy. Most of what he does comes from his shotgun.
	+ Uppercut: Throws an upward strike.
	+ Block Stance: Holds up both of his arms to reduce the damage received. He gains 1 stack of Bloodthirsty for every heavy blow he receives, if it gets to 10 he activates ENIGMA. This effect is stackable.
	+ Balance Strike: Harnessing the power of Yin and Yang, he unleashes a forward strike.
* Fatal Barrage: Shoots up to 3-5 times depending on the number of Bloodthirsty stacks he has. When used, these stacks will be resetted and cannot trigger ENIGMA.
* Time to Even the Odds: Dashes towards the enemy, and slides down to create a motion that they cannot follow and react on time, ignoring most parts of friction. Then he triggers the shotgun upwards and fire.
