Ji Kun is the mentor of the 0RES and recognized as Qu Yong's formal master and grandmaster of Wei Sheng Wu Han.

## **Appearance & Outfit Preference**

Ji Kun is a man of almost 6' 1' ', but more like 6' 0.8' '. Oddly specific, am I right? Anyways, he possesses a rather youthful appearance, who appears at oldest to be in his earlier twenties. To the accurate eye, he is about twenty, around the physical age of most of the 0RES, and younger than some, even. However, his unnervingly calm aura is what gives away his age. He is fit but built, not truly as lean as he appears. He is noted to have long and elegant fingers.

He is with blonde hair and white eyes, his hair being more like a pale Richmond yellow, similar to a skin tone. His eyes and face are surprisingly round, and his hair is just so to be unhelpful towards an overall boyish look to him--being shorter and curving around his face, and thinner and longer towards the end. He has bangs, but prefers to leave his eyes as open and unobstructed as possible.

He has been noted by the narrator to share some similarity with Hitan, but this is probably not biological in any way, since there is no proof towards either even having parents at all.

## **Personality**

Not much is known about Ji Kun, but from references made about him from the 0RES, he is known to be a respectable and responsible caretaker. While he is strict to most of them, still considering himself their guardian, he is not imposingly authoritative, and knows when he should let go of them and let them take care of themselves. However, it's implied that he still at least keeps a basic grip on what they're doing and keep track of where they are.

If one were to ask him, then he would say that he enjoys giving the 0RES responsible freedom, though he does not believe all of them are responsible in all ways. In fact, he's aware that all of them have some sort of problem imprinted upon them. Nonetheless, he is still very capable of taking so much on his hands without having broke down or given up on some for the sake of others. It is unknown what his opinions are about how good of a job he is doing.

However, if there is something absolutely resolute about him other than his very strong sense of justice, then it would be his determination to keep those he cares for out of deity affairs. He has always advised (to different levels of avail) the 0RES to avoid all divine forces, and he has a tendency to keep out of world affairs as well. Why he advises and acts so is unknown, but his explanations, like most of his speech, seems to philosophically centered instead of common logic-oriented.

From the experience of raising and caring for so many kids, it can be seen that Ji Kun is quite patient and caring, and likely either has a tolerance or sense of humor, or both, since he allows Benigno to jokingly call him "the old man", and his teachings to the First clearly promote respect. He does, however, have a disposition to still treating the 0RES like kids sometimes, such as giving them kiddo punishments (such as no electronics, or time-outs, both of which are usually for Benigno) or rewards (like candy).

It has been observed by those such as the First, Eleventh, and Sixth that he seems to silently put blame and guilt upon himself for what he is unable to accomplish, but whether this is a valid observation from the broken about his attitude towards the broken he is trying to restore is unseen. Otherwise, he is a calm and analytical man who leads as the forefront of a group of exceptionally skilled warriors, who seems to know and is prepared towards anything the world can further throw at him.
