Jinhai is kind of what you would picture for a pirate, albeit with more morals than most. He was raised in this life but he learned early on that there was a line in the sand, and that some things were terrible enough to lie across that line. His father taught him that to cross it because that meant whoever he was before would die; that if his greed ever outweighed his humanity there would be no coming back from it. So Jinhai doesn't kill and although he pillages it's only ever human communities he targets. He is careful to leave enough to last them; he would never leave little enough that a village would starve just because he was looking for more gold. He's very merciful although he does his best to maintain a rough and tough reputation, as surprisingly it helps him keep down on bloodshed. If people just assume he's scary they're less likely to fight back.
All that being said Jinhai is very, very greedy. He did inherit that from his father; he loves the feel of gold, the shine of it, the weight of it when Vera goes slogging through the water before they trade their gold for favors or food. Jinhai really likes collecting and hoarding things, and gold just happens to be his favorite thing to hoard. One of his most defining characteristics is that he is incredibly loyal to friends, family, and most especially his crew; he doesn't believe in leaving someone behind, even if the situation demands it. This has encouraged Jinhai to put his own life into danger many times before in an attempt to save the life of someone else. Now that he's discovered Ianthe is his brother by blood he's just as protective over him as he is the rest of the crew. Ianthe, who's not used to someone breathing down his neck like that, sometimes feels smothered with it but puts it up with Jinhai because he knows it relaxes the captain down.
trivia.
-he has a small silver earring in the shape of a stingray in his right ear [looks like this]
-his father Liqin was the one who gave it to him
-Jinhai is a pirate and the captain of a ship he fondly calls Vera; he inherited her from his father
human form.
Jinhai is tall and willowy and very thin. He has black hair he usually leaves unstyled and a single bright white stripe at the front. His eyebrows are thick and expressive, and his eyes a lovely blue. He's rather pale, as he inherited his father's Chinese skin, and burns rather than freckles. He's muscular in the arms as he does a great deal of the manual work on the sailboat himself but not so much anywhere else. Jinhai has a wardrobe that is almost entirely high fashion and is never spotted in any sort of clothes that aren't in style at the time.
