Jinx

Created by: frivolities

Jinx, born Powder, is a volatile, unpredictable, and deeply scarred young woman who evolves into a chaotic force within the city of Piltover and its undercity, Zaun. Once a hopeful child with a kind heart, Powder becomes Jinx after enduring tragedy and betrayal, transforming into a dangerous and brilliant inventor with a penchant for destruction.

History

Jinx’s backstory is rooted in heartbreak and tragedy. She grows up as Powder in Zaun, an oppressed undercity beneath Piltover, alongside her older sister, Vi. After their parents are killed during a revolt, the sisters are taken in by Vander, a father figure who leads the rebellion against Piltover's oppression. Powder’s insecurities and feelings of inadequacy are exacerbated by her perceived inability to help during conflicts. This culminates in a tragic moment when she accidentally causes the deaths of Vander and their allies while trying to help. Believing she has been abandoned by Vi, Powder is taken in by Silco, a crime lord who manipulates her into becoming Jinx, a weapon of chaos and destruction.

 

Alignment

Chaotic Neutral, leaning toward Chaotic Evil: Her actions are driven by personal pain, instability, and a longing for love and belonging rather than purely malicious intent. She is fiercely loyal to Silco and later torn between her love for Vi and her fear of betrayal.

 

Personality

Jinx is deeply unstable and emotionally volatile, shaped by trauma and guilt. Her mind is fractured, haunted by hallucinations and voices of those she feels she has failed, particularly Milo and Claggor, two members of her childhood family who died due to her actions. Despite her instability, Jinx is incredibly intelligent and creative. She is a brilliant inventor and artist, with a flair for the dramatic and an obsession with chaos. Beneath her wild, manic persona lies a vulnerable and deeply lonely girl yearning for connection and acceptance, particularly from Vi.
