I’m going to assume you’re asking me about Mirror because of the fact we’re both Japanese. How do I know she’s Japanese? Well let’s look at the footage. She goes around in “wearing” what looks like telekinetic samurai armor topped off with an actual kabuto and menpo. She speaks perfect accentless Japanese. If she’s not Japanese then she’s one hell of a poser. Me, I took the oath a month ago. And I’m officially in the system as Jean, J-E-A-N, Hannah. I’m American now and I’m too busy getting into law school to care about some fool stuck in the past and banging heads in a romantic notion that that will solve things.
Konnichi-wa. Hana Jin desu. Hello. Don’t worry about Jean. If she really felt the way she claims I wouldn’t exist the way I do. See. She still believes in justice, love, all that stuff. In proof of that. She just doesn’t believe in herself. She needs all that to be “someone else”. Eventually she’ll accept herself and we’ll be whole again. Until then I’ll be around to let her do what she thinks she can’t do.
Note. Jin and Jean have different colored eyes. Something about the shift causes the melanin in her eyes to change. Both eye colors are exceeding rare but do occur in real life. Jin has gold eyes. Jean has red eyes. Before the first time Jean’s mind split she had brown eyes. To add to the difference, Jin uses the same psychokinetic powers that manifest her armor to make it seem like her hair is glowing gold. At least when helping. Jin occasionally takes over outside of heroing.
Jean is capable of using telepathy without triggering Jin. But it is difficult. She doesn’t like to do it and it mostly happens on accident. Her other powers only manifest while Jin is active.
Jin keeps Jeans secrets. Unless Jin has already revealed a secret to someone she won’t break that trust unless there’s an absolute need.
A Janus with split personality, interesting.
First variation on this was an astral projection thing. The actual body would stay in stasis while the astral/psychokinetic projection went and did the hero thing.
Haven’t gotten to actually play her yet.
