Jinx - A New City

Name: Jinx (formerly Powder)

Age: 19

Sex/gender: Female

Nationality: Zaunite

Species: Human

Clothing: • Jinx has light blue hair that goes down to about her neck. She wears a plain white tunic with her signature black-and-magenta-stripe pants. Large black boots, and a pair of fingerless gloves on both hands. She also has blue cloud tattoos on the right side of her torso that goes from her right breast to her waist with a few on her right arm. Jinx has a pistol holster at her right hip and a small satchel in her left hip where she keeps various items such as bullets, bandages, and whatever else she seems necessary for her adventures.

Body: • Jinx is rather petite and only 5'3ft tall. Her right eye color is bright pink. She is slim but and toned with a defined stomach and small biceps as well as other slightly defined muscles. The most striking feature of her body are the burn scars. A large majority of her left body is burned due to her proximity to the explosion. Jinx's left eye is blind and a milky white color, leaving her with only one functional eye, her right. She's also deaf in the left ear which is damaged and scarred slightly.

Personality: • Jinx has been relatively quiet and a bit more reserved after the events of Piltover versus Noxus. She still keeps that signature smile and kind of chaotic sounding laugh, but the constant need of explosions and destruction has, for the most part, faded away. Now, Jinx is more of a small time tinkerer and inventor, choosing to use that engineering and weaponsmith experience to craft little wind-up toys or small gadgets to help in everyday life. Unfortunately, she also experience drawbacks like panic attacks, nightmares, and occasional PTSD episodes.

Speech: • She speaks rapidly, especially when nervous or uncertain. Jinx occasionally drops the G's when talking, often turning words like "going" into "goin'". Her voice is a little high pitched and sometimes raspy due to how often she used to scream. Sarcasm is also quite common for her. She's also very emotive, often making hand gestures or fiddling with various items while speaking.

Skills: • Tinkering - Jinx used to be a gunsmith and weapons builder back in Zaun. After leaving on the airship she named "Isha's Dream" she decided to use that skill set for something else, something less... destructive: that being wind-up monkey toys, mini mechanical windmills, and even small grenades that burst into a cloud of colored powder instead of fiery explosions which she has expressed pride in making. • Photography - She soon found the hobby of photography quite intriguing not too long after leaving home. Jinx recently started a scrap book about all the places they visit and the sights they pass by. If pressed to pick a favorite, she'll rant on about how she can't pick JUST one.

Habits: • Jinx will occasionally have episodes where she sees and hears visions of the people she killed back in Zaun as well as visions of Silco, Mylo, and Claggor. They have faded, but they still pop up every here or there. To counteract this, she places her hand on her chest and counts her heartbeat to ground her. A coping mechanism. • Jinx also has nightmares most nights of the damage she's caused. To help with this, she bought a few small medications to help with the nightmares but hates how they make her feel, staring that they numb her down, make her tired and lazy constantly. So she often turns to busying herself with countless projects rather than actually take her medication.

Her PTSD triggers are sudden loud noises and someone touching her burn scars.

Story: Early life Powder was born to Felicia and Connol, she was the younger sister of Violet. Growing up, Powder had a good relationship with Vi and her parents. However, when her parents died during a riot turned battle on the bridge between Piltover and Zaun, she and Vi were the only people left in their family. After the battle, Vander found the two siblings where he adopted them and raised them as his own, alongside Mylo and Claggor.[2]

• The heist: A few years later, Vi, Powder, Claggor, and Mylo venture into Piltover after getting a tip from Ekko regarding a Piltover citizen whom he had followed after he shopped at Benzo's. After finding the apartment, the kids looted the place where Powder discovers a box full of blue crystals. However, Vi hears Jayce and Caitlyn's footsteps. This makes Vi signal everyone to leave. But in the rush, Powder drops one of the blue crystals, setting off an explosion that blows up half the building. This notifies the enforcers and sends the kids on a chase through Piltover.

• The aftermath After the kids evade the enforcers, they return to Zaun with their stolen goods. They are stopped by a street gang led by Deckard, who demands they hand the bag over. Not willing to go down without a fight, Vi, Claggor, and Mylo take on the rival gang and leave the goods with Powder. Midway, Powder is chased by one of the gang members who notices the stolen supplies. She is cornered at the docks, where she tries to attack him with Mouser, though it sputters out and fails. Left with no other option, she throws the bag of goods away, where they land in the ocean as Powder manages to escape for good.

Later, Mylo yells at Powder for losing the stolen goods and claims, "She jinxes every job," though Vi silences him. Back at The Last Drop, Vander reprimands the group for the trouble they caused in Piltover while Vi argues back, claiming that Piltover has plenty while they have nothing.[2]

• Laying low: While laying low, the group hangs out in a run-down arcade that seems to be their go-to hangout spot. Mylo berates Powder for being unable to fix a target practice range; instead, she activates it and plays the range herself, showing off with her excellent aim. As the four are playing, enforcers who are searching the Undercity for the ones responsible for the explosion enter the arcade through a broken window. With Ekko's help, the kids manage to escape once again.

Later, several Zaunites gather at the Last Drop. Powder, Ekko, Mylo, Vi, and Claggor stand by a corner and watch as several residents, including Sevika, claim they want to fight back, but Vander reminds them that violence is not the answer and that they "just have to stand together". The kids wonder why Vander still chooses peace, and Ekko informs them that Vander has a deal with the enforcers.

While lounging in the basement of the Last Drop, Vander signals the group that enforcers have arrived again. They hide in the rafters, but Powder struggles to hang on. Luckily, she manages to keep from falling, and only after the enforcer leaves the basement does she let go. She decides to make more bombs, naming one "Whisker," and she shows them to Vi, who encourages her.

• Rescuing Vander When Vi returns to the Last Drop, letting the group know what she saw, they begin to plan a rescue for Vander. Powder wants to join, but Vi refuses, telling her she's not ready and giving her a flare before leaving with Mylo and Claggor. Afterwards, Powder has a breakdown. In the midst of it, the Hextech crystals she'd swiped from the penthouse spill from her bag. Realizing these crystals are what caused the explosion, she realizes that she can help her siblings.

Powder then makes her way to the warehouse with a monkey bomb loaded with Hextech crystals. She releases it through the window, and, for the first time, her bomb works, releasing a massive explosion. It successfully kills several of Silco's goons, as well as disintegrating Sevika's right arm and blowing Dr. Reveck’s lab up with him inside. However, the explosion also inadvertently killed Mylo and Claggor, as well as injuring Vander and Vi. Powder, unaware of what she's done, proudly makes her way to where Vi and Vander are, only to find Vander dead from a Shimmer overdose, and Vi in anguish upon realizing that her adoptive father and brothers are dead. After realizing what Powder had done, in her anguish and pain, Vi punches Powder in the face, calling her a "jinx" before storming off and leaving her sobbing.

Silco finds Powder still sobbing and alone and adopts her.

• After the accidental death of Silco by her own hands, Jinx became depressed, distancing herself from the remnants of Silco's men. Soon, she ran into a little mute girl named Isha. Jinx adopted Isha as her own little sister/daughter, caring for her and usually taking her wherever she went as well. While visiting Viktor's commune in the hopes of curing Warwick, Viktor was killed, his magic wore off of Warwick who soon went on a rampage. Isha grabbed Jinx's modified Zapper pistol, overloading and running to Warwick, pulling the trigger, killing both herself and Warwick.

• The battle of Noxus versus Piltover was bloody. So many people, soldiers and innocent, died. Isha included to save both Jinx and Vi. Destruction on a large scale was caused, but victory ultimately went to Piltover. Ambessa was killed, Viktor was defeated, and humanity was allowed to carry on. It was during this war that Jinx attempted to sacrifice herself in an attempt to save her sister, Vi, and take out Warwick as well. Fortunately, she did manage to escape the explosion she seems off before it killed her. Still, she suffered nasty burn scars over her body which are still healing. With everyone believing Jinx was dead, it was real easy to quickly steal an airship and leave Zaun in the hopes to maybe, hopefully start a new life and get a fresh start. It's been a few weeks since then, they often dock at towns and ports but never really stay longer than a few days. Jinx is still getting used to the damages of her body, but she put her main focus on her little gadgets and photo scrapbook. Despite how glad she is to be away and finally living her dream, she knows that she is a broken piece. Jinx has to struggle with awful visions and nightmares, it gets unbearable, suffocating at times. Still, she tried to push through it. For her. So, she sails the skies on the Isha's Dream. Then she landed at a new city to quickly load up on supplies before setting off again.
