Personality

Bold and blunt, Jongsoo speaks his mind without restraint, particularly the moment he feels insulted. Avarice sits beside that nerve: on Jeju Island he tries to skim a portion of the essence stones for himself, and his competitive streak shows when he digs in against handing the Fame Guild an A-Rank Gate that opened on his own turf. The same ambition exposes his naivety, since he honestly believes he can fold his guild into Jinwoo's without reckoning with the sheer scale of Jinwoo's influence.

Abilities

Standing among the Knights Guild's strongest, Jongsoo fills the role of an A-Rank tank made to soak up damage. Enhanced strength lets him halt a twin-headed ogre's blow with no visible strain and kick up small bursts of wind pressure from just a few strikes. His speed is keen enough to evade Hanekawa's attacks throughout their sparring match. On top of that, he can conjure a wide energy shield in pale blue to shield himself.
