Hello everyone!  I'm Ugert, and I'm completely out of the conversation! Here's my character for everyone to peruse.<br/>---------<br/><strong>Name</strong>: Jin Izukara<br/><strong>Age</strong>: 17<br/><strong>Year</strong>: 3rd<br/><strong>Arcana</strong>: Emperor<br/><strong>Persona</strong>: プリニー (Prinny)<br/><strong>Physical Description</strong>: Japanese, his hair is of the darkest blue, and his eyes light reddish brown.  He wears his hair the only way he can by gelling it slightly and tussling it, resulting in long heavy spikes.  His red bandana is a permanent part of his wardrobe, as he never takes it off.  He wears his training shirt featuring his Sensei's symbol, the Lotus and Sun, almost always.  A black leather jacket accompanies him on the chillier days.  5'9", 180 lbs, Jin is built as a runner and martial artist.<br/><strong>Personality</strong>: Jin is a man of justice.  He does the right thing, always.  Strong and confident, he hides nothing from others, always willing to admit fault if need be.  He despises people who blame others for their mistakes.  He does have a big heart for anyone who needs it, and is a very caring and kind individual.  Coming from a normal family, he has no real insecurities.  A good student, he doesn't go out of his way to impress his teachers, but he gets his work done.  Most say he's a bit weird due to his natural sarcasm and esotericism, the former stemming from an immense sense of pleasure from its comical nature and the latter from his hobby of videogames and tv.<br/><strong>Bio</strong>: Bio : Jin was born in Tokyo.  His mother is a business woman with a large japanese engineering firm, and his father is a stock broker.  They moved away from Tokyo for a change of scenery, and enrolled Jin at Gekkoukan High School.  He is naturally gifted as a sprinter, and thus is a leading member of the high school track team.  Having been in a few street fights in the city, he also learned Jeet kune Do and some Krav Maga.  Being a spry 5'9", he can easily take down multiple opponents with his talents, though he avoids fighting as much as possible.  He also has a love of videogames, and when not practicing for a meet, he'll be frequently playing something.  His red bandana was a gift from his Sensei, as a symbol of his mastery of the art as well as a memento of their time as master and student.  He cherishes it more than anything, and he wears it at all times.  He also frequently wears his training shirt from the Dojo.  While he has friends on the track team, Jin has few friends in the area, though by no fault of his own.<br/><br/><br/>(http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y277/ugert/ikki-anime-guys-3037410-499-789.jpg)<br/><br/><strong>Persona</strong>: プリニー (Prinny)<br/>Jin isn't too sure how he ended up with the strange demon penguin as his inner self, but he doesn't argue with it, despite the fact that Prinny follows him constantly around when summoned.  Occasionally, Jin has awoken in the middle of the night to find Prinny, having apparently summoned himself, sitting in his beanbag chair eating chips and watching tv.  When Jin inquires as to what the hell he's doing, Prinny jumps in surprise and explodes in a puff of purple smoke, leaving Jin to explain the strange smell in his room to his parents.  After diligent research, Jin has come up with a theory : Prinny represents his early childhood fears, such as large birds after being pecked at a zoo when he was 7; Bats, being the small wings on Prinny's back; Losing his ability to run, here seen as Prinny's peg legs; And bombs, one of Prinny's attack methods being explosives.  But, while fear would normally be a panicky creature, more likely to flee or hurt its master than fight, Prinny has courage.  Jin believes this is shown by the long red scarf that Prinny wears, in direct similarity to Jin's perpetual red bandana, which represents one's ability to overcome adversity and be strong in the face of evil.  As for the late night tv and snack binge, he has yet to figure that out.<br/><br/>(http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y277/ugert/prinny-can-i-really-be-the-hero-20081107051026866_640w.jpg)
