Other: Being the King of Bandits, Jing possesses all the skills one would think that profession would entail, and then some. He can pick virtually any lock with ease, is a master at escape routes, can move silently as a cat, has incredible stamina, and is a mean duellist when it comes down to it (he has a retractable blade that he wears in a sheath on his right arm beneath his coat sleeve). He has a number of unexpected contacts in cities all over his world (most notable is Postino, the perpetually unexpected postman), and can improvise with a number of weapons in a pinch.
Jing's most powerful and useful ability, however, is the Kir Royale, an explosive energy attack formed by Kir after fusing to Jing's right arm. This attack is common to Kir's species, and can only be used while Kir and Jing are fused. Kir can still talk while in this form, although his appearance changes, and attacks can be augmented by such tactics as feeding Kir hot sauce. Similarly, if Kir has suffered a throat injury, the attack will be weak, off-target, or simply impossible.
As a total aside, Jing and Kir love word play. Expect to be seeing a lot of it.
First Person (entry type): This is a pretty interesting development. Although with the way technology's been advancing and everyone's been expanding, it was only a matter of time before the two collided. I guess other worlds count as a prime buyer's market. Wonder if there's any interesting things for sale?
Better hope those expansions don't involve any hostile takeovers, Jing. Looks to me like this place is just a convention of crazies. Did you see that post by the fatso in the turtle shell?
Maybe threats of universal domination are just how people say hello on his world.
Yeah, well, if you ask me, his time'd be better spent reviewing his legions of minions. Like tyrant, like toadie, I always say. And I bet his IQ couldn't beat a dice roll.
If you're looking for a bigger gamble, Kir, there's some other posts here that might interest you.
No way, Jing, you're not dragging me into this mess of weirdos.
Oh? Even the female ones?
Wha-?! YOWZA! Helloooo, lovely ladies! Why don't you all tell Kir here your a/s/l~?
Third Person: It's perhaps his most defining aspect, if not his most unusual.
Thieves in general are expected to have one of two appearances: stealthy, or scruffy. The latter are present in abundance in the City of Thieves, a veritable melting pot of vagabonds, ruffians, fingersmiths, and plain ol' muggers. The former are less numerous, but easy to find if you know where to look, such as the sleek, leather-clad Alleyway Cat burglars in Schnapps.
But standing out? Generally not a desireable fashion statement for those usually hoping to go unnoticed.
Standing out is dangerous. It's a challenge, a direct taunt in regards to anyone who might be looking for him. It's an "I don't have to hide from you", it's a "You couldn't catch me if you tried".
Perhaps most daringly, it's an "I can be who I want".
And perhaps it's for all those very reasons that the King of Bandits, who could possess all the treasures of the world, puts such a high value on what, to anyone else, is a simple orange trenchcoat.
