He was born in Reiki Village as twins with his older twin brother Jun as simple villagers.

Jin is a tall, slender, fair skinned man that is also muscular in his abdominal area. He sports black hair that brushes outward like Cricket's as well as part of his hair sticking out of the opposite direction of where his bangs go. He also has dark red eyes.

He also wears a sapphire brooch that is pinned with a ribbon under it. Jin also wears his wedding ring that has a small topaz gem embedded into it. Almost every day he's also seen having Min's sacred sword attached to his side sheathed in it's scabbard.

During his childhood, Jin wore a pure white robe that that was only accented with a black band in the middle of his robe around his waist and stomach and his hair matched more of Cricket's hair when he was a child. As he grew up as a teen and young adult, Jin's hair became less messy and spiked out while wearing the same color schemed robe like he did when he was a child.

In Diamond City, Jin wears a white collared shirt while wearing black dress pants and black shoes.

### Personality

As he is called the "Yang Twin", Jin is very compassionate and kind to everyone in the village. He's also very hardworking and considerate. However he's also very apologetic as he was growing up as he constantly apologized to people everytime his older brother Jun did something horrible. He's shown to be quite helpful and respectful to everyone he knew. He also had a sense of regality despite at the time before becoming Lord, he was a simple villager under Mei's family's rule.

He was often to get really angry with Jun during his childhood, teenage hood, and even in adulthood as he was always struck past his limit with him. Most of the time however, he's very calm and collected and is eager to talk with anyone. He also has his moments of being awkward or embarrassed whenever given high praise as he usually thinks that he was just doing what he thought was necessary. Along with his calm and collected nature, Jin is also very chivalrous and protective, mainly to his wife as she was highly important as Head Priestess of Reiki Village.

### Strengths, Weaknesses, Powers, Abilities

Jin is a very powerful and skillful swordsman as his main weapon is the sacred sword he was bestowed with that belonged to the previous lord whom was Mei's father, Min. He's also very strong in physical strength as he's constantly training on an almost daily basis. Jin is also has a lot of wit within him due to how strategic he can plan out an attack rather quickly in his head. However he has his limits with fighting as he can't fight if he gets himself injured badly. Jin also is quite sensitive to evil demonic spiritual auras as he's able to sense them.

## Relationships

### Unknown Father and Mother

Jin was on good terms with his mother and father however he preferred his mother over his father, mainly due to his bad temper that was something he didn't like. Although he didn't spend much time with both of them, Jin loved his parents and he grieved both of them when they both passed away.

### Jun Aikawa

Even though Jun is his older twin brother, Jin does not like him at all considering all he does is causing trouble and doing horrible acts around the village. He never felt much love from Jun while they grew up and he always had to apologize for whatever Jun did. In their adulthood, Jin doesn't talk with Jun often mainly due to how Jun is locked up in the dungeons.

### Min and Sumire Zhang

### Mei Zhang Aikawa

Jin's beloved wife and Head Priestess of Reiki Village. Jin highly loves Mei to the point of keeping her safe from any danger. Jin also highly respected Mei for what she does as a ruler and always stayed by her side to keep her company whenever she had doubts in her mind. Jin always found Mei to be beautiful upon them hanging out from the day they met. He always found her beauty to be something that needed to be protected. Jin trained to be able to be good enough to protect the beauty she had and her life and he earned it. Though upon proposing to her, he knew that he'd become Lord of the village. He once questioned if he was worthy of such a title but Mei and even the other villagers had told him that he was fully worthy of becoming Lord due to how much he had a lot of respect from the people. Jin felt a bit awkward at first when he started living with Mei and became royalty but he got used to both rather quickly as Mei let him continue his usual hobbies around the temple as much as he liked. His usual hobbies being training and hunting, he did enjoy them but he still made sure to do his royal duties diligently.

### Young Cricket

After being reunited, Jin often would train with Cricket to test their strengths as well as have father son bonding and he even offered Cricket to join him on hunts whenever he visited. Being his father, Jin often gives Cricket advise on life as well as making sure he wasn't overworking himself with training. Even though both him and Cricket are busy, Jin makes time to teach him on certain skills whenever they have time together.

### Young Butterfly

Jin's adopted daughter to which he loves just as equally with Cricket. Although Butterfly and Jin don't see each other often, they both love each other as father and daughter.
