- Jin bears a short and messy hair that rarely maintains so he allows it to let it grow wildly while keeping a stylish and decent look. Possessing a pale white skin and his natural eye colors gives both a welcoming feeling yet an eerie atmosphere when atmosphere. He always wear a standard set of clothes is a light green stringed shirt beneath his jacket, black pants and a belt along with a pair of black shoes, occasionally changing them to fit the weather or the occasion but never without his signature jacket which he always wear everywhere, featuring a black zipless hoodie with white dots printed vertically alongside the hood, when worn in the opposite way, the hoodie is primarily white with black dots instead.
- His most unique and distinct physical trait is his rare variant of Heterochromia, mainly his left eye being yellow in color which is known to be normal but his right eye is unique as it is crimson in color and is known to create a streak of bright red as he moves in the dark.
- Whenever he goes out in a mission, he usually adorns a black and white mask, although not an ANBU, he likes to keep his identity a secret in order to avoid conflicts for his village and for his family, especially with his heterochromia, with the mask covering the right part of his face. Although a mask alone won't protect much of his identity but it certainly helps in every way possible.

[*] Jin is the type of person who prioritizes his family and friends before himself, willing to sacrifice and perform deeds that would deemed inhuman by others, although he only has the best intention at heart. Appearing cold and serious towards outsiders and those who were taken in into the family, doing it as it is in human nature that people will take advantage of a kind and welcoming person without a second thought.
[*] Undoubtedly possessing a habit of observing people, studying their psychological profile seriously to learn how humans react and how would one would possibly think, a trait that he somehow picked up when he was younger and as a result, he talks and acts like an adult, surprising most adults whenever he were to talk to them when he was young, speaking straight without sugarcoating or twisting stories, he knows the fact - he'll say it straight in their faces, showcasing his ability to understand human nature even if he isn't that versed in such field.
[*] When out with his family or friends, he shows a much warmer and albeit - a lighter variation of his seriousness, riding along some jokes and stupid stunts whenever he finds some free time to do so. Like any other people, he is also human and as such, he also makes mistakes or wrong decisions but never did he once regret making such a choice.
[col][legend="• H I S T O R Y •"][spoilername="Summary"]Born into the Masaru Clan, unlike other kids who were born or bought to the family, Jin relatively strayed away from his family but due to his unnatural talent with illusions or the art of the Genjutsu, he made it appear to others that he was happy and enjoying the place while in truth, he distanced himself in order to observe and protect his clan from others, especially those who were bought in to the clan since he couldn't fully trust them until they reach the age of adulthood at least. Although, despite his illusion expertise when he was young, the elders of his clan was able to discern the anomaly whenever they were around him and as such, manage to find how talented yet cold he was and was sent to train as a shinobi in hopes that he can further improve in his talents.
Willingly fulfilling their request, he attended the Academy where he started as an Academy Student, passing his exams in terms of Genjutsu with flying colors but miserably failing in terms of physical strength. In that moment, Jin knew that he won't able to protect his family with mere tricks and illusions. Training for days and nights to improve his physical strength while at the same time, his mental strength. As a result, he was one of the students who passed in terms of both mental and physical strength, merely relying on his fist seeing it as more convenient than a mere weapon which can be disarmed easily and rendering him powerless. In only took him a few years before he was able to pass and graduate, becoming a Genin and officially starting his shinobi life.
In his Genin life, there he faced strife and hardship, practically those who were in his class were skilled in various fields, he saw people who were able to discern a poisonous or carnivorous plant with a mere glass while some were extremely talented with Ninjutsu but still, he didn't let those overpower or make him insecure, he only needed the things to survive and protect those around him, using the best he can to cover his team's weakness. Although it took him a few years, injuries scarred and marked from past battles from foreign foes, he still manage to find time to learn more about his family and train his shinobi skills.
In his teenage years, Jin managed to graduate into a Chuunin through taking up several missions for his village, although uneventful, his talents grew alongside him, turning him into a fine shinobi while also an expert monster hunter, relying on his two natural talents to reduce his foes in a near catatonic state before pounding them with his enhanced strength, allowing him to excel in intelligence gathering as well as assassination missions. Although as he grew up, he still couldn't remove the doubt that something is definitely wrong within the family and hopefully he wasn't too late.[/spoilername][/legend]|[legend="• A R C S •"][spoilername="Cloud Stories"]

- Trapped in the Darkness of Lights - Roaming the alleys of the Susukino District, Jin encountered a man who introduced himself as Ai who somehow started a scene in the streets by killing a merchant while in the presence of a young shinobi, regardless - he had to cover up to avoid himself being caught in such a weird fiasco. Wouldn't want to dirty the family name after all...
