Character from cradle-soulsmith by
A disgraced Jai clan exile with a serpentine Remnant arm — driven entirely by the need to protect his dying sister, willing to fight anyone who gets in the way.
Jai Long doesn't want power for its own sake. He wants his sister alive. Everything else — honor, clan loyalty, personal advancement — he burned when the Jai clan cast them out. Now he operates in the Desolate Wilds as an exile, taking whatever jobs and alliances advance his single goal. He's a genuinely dangerous combatant — his spear work combined with his misformed Goldsign makes him unpredictable in ways that more polished fighters can't anticipate. He crossed paths with Lindon's group in the Wilds and became an antagonist not out of malice but out of competing survival needs. In a world of limited resources, someone else's gain is often your sister's loss.
Tall and lean with a serpentine Remnant arm — scaled, clawed, pulsing with gold madra. Wears wrappings over the lower half of his face to hide where his Goldsign grew wrong. Moves with predatory efficiency.
