Strategy: Lin has mastered the art of "selling it". He is great at hiding most of his technique by playing up injuries and luring his opponent into a false sense of security. Getting in tune with his opponent is part of his long game. Hiding what's in his arsenal is as important as the moment he puts it to use. Once he feels confident, Lin will assail his adversary with Makes heavy use kicks and palm strikes, and submission grips. His flexibility and masterful technique work in tandem, attacking with power and poise that he may not seem capable of at first glance. He never shows his hand until the right moment.

Personality: Lin is a man shaped by life without boundaries Even when he was forced out on his own, he had no real concept of suffering from the consequences of his actions. Somewhat disconnected from the real world, his lack of sensitivity tends to ride other people’s nerves.

Always the man with a plan, Lin constantly seems to have the answer to any problem. For better or worse. In the face of overwhelming pressure, he reliably deflects blame away from himself and pushes the responsibility into the hands of whoever/whatever is in the immediate vicinity. He can be difficult to handle when he isn’t able to get what he wants and is frustrated in the face of consistent losses.

He operates on a distinct - and frankly, outdated - sense of dandyism. Though quick to exploit others, he values connections and mutual support more than he lets on. His focus on matters beyond himself leans him towards being more sympathetic than not. There are glimpses of a sufferable person if he could get past himself.

Ultimately, Lin sees his current predicament as temporary and fleeting. For now, he's content to enjoy what he has until things work themselves out. They always seem to, after all.

Lin has absolutely no excuse for being where he is right now.

Born into a life of means and constant pampering, every step of his path had spelled out for him from the second he entered the world. The least remarkable of three older brothers, he found himself with some small amount of leeway between his responsibilities that he managed to screw up in about the worst way possible.

Lin had no interest in banking, portfolio management, big tech, or any of the other pillars that supported his pedigree. He lived for thrills and excitement; the ability to pursue his own wants and needs. An endless well of energy and charisma in his younger years, he was never far from a group of friends or otherwise to create mayhem in downtown Shanghai. After a destructive incident involving a national monument and a visit from the CCP, Lin's wish was informally granted. Expelled from his family, he landed himself across the sea and into Japan's lowest-ranked boarding school for delinquents.

‘School’ was a hilarious misnomer for the unending fighting that defined daily life in Kasanegafuchi High. An unforgiving environment that someone like Lin thrived in. He found his way through natural-born guile, cunning, and unbeatable strength. Crushing the opposition, soliciting test grades, and strong-arming his way into the student council were a few small, but important steps Lin quickly established himself as the bancho of the largest faction in the school. Unrivaled, any nail that stuck out to spite him got hammered down without a second thought.

That was how he met Jin. A newcomer like himself that came later in the year made himself known by blowing away every third year at Induction. It was only natural that Lin would seek him out and vie for the position of the strongest. Not once, however, were they able to settle the score. Before long their competitions extended into anything that Lin deemed necessary. Racing, homework, video games, reading, test scores, entrance exams. His fiercest rival, seemingly overnight, was his first friend.

The last thing he expected was for their duo to become a trio the day Tycho transferred in. Always smelling of motor oil and used paint cans, even Lin hadn't expected to be the first one to his defense when the rest of the school came for him. He made for good muscle and his presence alone could settle the occasional dispute, even if he was by and largely ignorant to his might. Their de facto trinity was easily the strongest power combo in the prefecture. It made Lin feel unstoppable, which made moving on from graduation all the harder.

Lin struggled more than either of them in having to accept entering a mundane life in everyday Japanese society. A place he’d only seldom called his home. Living by the punching time clock wasn't going to do it for him. He hadn't lived a boring day in his life and that wasn't going to change. He chose to hit the road as a professional confidence man. He found regular employment with criminal enterprises as he traveled the breadth of Japan to bleed the suckers dry. Starting from petty scores of pickpocketing and insurance fraud, Lin escalated quickly. Thief, hired muscle, replacement bartender, snake oil salesman, or high-tech infiltrator. Lin was whatever anyone would need him to be.

The bigger his successes, the more people wanted to make use of him. Soon he would be shaking hands with clients from Kanto all the way to India. Even so, he was never more than a bit player. Never the brains of the operation, the guy walking away with the biggest cut. He knew he could do more and decided to make a move.  With the help of some "business associates", he managed to convince a major client to give him the resources he needed for his biggest gig yet: The Ou Yang Grand Pugilist Open.

He got the boys back together to be the main act. Jin would be the star. The young, popular pugilist that the audience would rally behind as he cleared round after round, reaching the finals practically uncontested. However, in the last fight, Jin was going to flop. Lin’s client would push an elite fighter that would be Jin’s opponent in that final bout. The real deal and someone that could sell it convincingly. Tycho would be his cornerman, leaving Lin to control things from the shadows. Foolproof.

Everything went exactly as he coordinated from the very start to the last minute of the last round. Jin was a professional in everything but name. He fought his way to the top without any issue. All he had to do then was lay down, and they would be set for payday.

…So.

Imagine his surprise when his dear friend Jinichi instead knocked the poor bastard unconscious with one smash to the jaw. As Lin watched the supposed-to-be-victor for the night hit the floor, he couldn’t help but feel a mix of pride and envy for the man who couldn’t feel anything anymore. Never before had Lin so desperately wanted to be another person.

Lin’s “major client” was closer to an organization. The Azuma-gumi, struggling more than ever last he checked, didn’t appreciate being made out to be idiots. Lin had lost them hundreds of thousands in one swoop. Their lives came down to four options: Jin could give them his hands, Lin could give them his tongue, Ty could sell them his organs, or they could pay off their debt with the type of predatory interest rates that’d make an American college blush.

With nowhere safe to turn and a heavy debt lingering over each of them, the three of them huddled into a shared space as Lin raced for a chance to turn their luck around. Thankfully, with their expansion into Osaka, a scout for AFW came to their door with just the opportunity they were looking for to settle those monthly collection visits.

For now.

Fun Facts:
- Lin likes a good dance more than anyone. He's versed in several forms from a variety of cultures that he can perform straight from memory. Everything from traditional Chinese to rural Japanese to American jazz and Indian Bharatanatyam.
- As an avid painter, Lin spends a fair amount of his free afternoons in locations around Kyoto perfecting his craft and acting on his inspiration. His style resembles classical Chinese, Japanese, and Korean art, but he cites Da Vinci as his main inspiration.
