Description

I need a finer tipped pen. This guy’s face is so busy, and the details got blunted too much, I feel.

YJ tried, he really did. But it’s hard to get respect when you aren’t like the other villains. He joined an underground terrorist group that believed mankind could only improve through adversity, which he took to mean overcoming challenges, but it turned out to just be eugenics again. Now YJ’s never been a killer, and he knew better than to think he wouldn’t be on the chopping block eventually, so he attempted to destroy the groups digital infrastructure and escape.

He was hunted for years, but Family had his back. Eventually, the group came apart, and YJ was free to settle into the Detective’s footsteps, as a private investigator.

YJ is gentle, thoughtful, and helpful. He is the responsible eldest brother and takes what he sees as his duties very seriously. Underneath, he is as hungry for acknowledgement and attention as the rest of them, typically expressing this through acts of service and making himself indispensable to others.

YJ keeps a variety of tools and weapons in specially designed capsules, hidden away on his person. These are all theoretically nonlethal, but some can be pretty unpleasant to experience, anything from smoke bombs and flashbangs, to sleeping gas and pepper spray. He also rides an motorcycle, which makes him look much cooler than he actually is.

I’m kidding, YJ, you were always cool!
