Jin Qiu (Ru Shou)

Jin Qiu (Ru Shou) is a Legendary Wind character in Dislyte. Jin Qiu (Ru Shou)'s role is Fighter. Faction: Wanderer.

Jin Qiu trades his own HP for extra reach and power. Pump Fatigue costs him health to unlock Punish Evil, which turns Cleave into a three-target hit, and dropping low enough on HP also grants Intimidate along with a bonus turn. Just Retribution then hits the whole enemy team and does more damage the more debuffs a target already carries, while ascension lets him cleanse himself and gain energy whenever Intimidate is active.

That HP-for-power trade-off gives him strong scaling once he's willing to pay the cost.

Career 1 / The intimidating warden.: Under the piercing lights and confined to a chair, a trembling criminal meets the cold gaze of the towering figure standing before him.

It's Jin Qiu, the infamous warden of Nether Gaol.

Every prisoner who has crossed paths with Jin Qiu eventually confesses, not due to his unparalleled interrogation abilities, but because he knows the art of using force to extract the truth.

Feared by all within Nether Gaol's walls, his reputation precedes him.

No one, be it criminal or guard, dares challenge him.

Career 2 / An eye for an eye.: Only the most hardened or repeat offenders find themselves in Nether Gaol, and to Jin Qiu, they're all beyond redemption.

In his eyes, gentle methods are futile. Only force yields result effectively.

During his leisure time, Jin Qiu enjoys reading a Wuxia novel, immersing himself in Jianghu, where justice is always served.

The brotherhood of the protagonist and his friends and their actions to uphold justice pleases him, but it's the other way around in real life.

Career 3: Once a crook, always a crook. When he was a prison guard, Jin Qiu had invited his childhood friend Guan Shan to join Nether Gaol, but by the time the two met again, Guan Shan was already under arrest.

Under Jin Qiu's persuasion, Guan Shan swore time and time again to amend his mistakes, yet he always broke his promises in the end.

Eventually, he committed the most wicked crime.

Jin Qiu ended Guan Shan's life with a bullet to the head.

Once a crook, always a crook. Jin Qiu has firmly believed this ever since seeing Guan Shan go astray.

Once someone plunges into the depths of vice, escape becomes a daunting endeavor.

Career 4 / The spark of hope.: If light cannot repel darkness, then meet darkness with darkness.

As the warden, Jin Qiu always remembered the foundational purpose of Nether Gaol.

He spared no expense, ensure no criminal ever slipped through his grasp.

Yet someone lights a spark of hope in the darkness.

During an interrogation, Amber, a new prison guard, challenged Jin Qiu's brutal methods, advocating for justice.

Though initially irritated by her naivety, he sees a reflection of his younger self in Amber.

He doesn't want her to make the same mistakes he once made.

In the stillness of the night, he clutches a cherished photograph of himself with Guan Shan.

This time, he won't let that flicker of hope be extinguished.
