Entry#4: There can only be one


    Have you ever thought, about what could happen, if we give an identity with the most common description "meticulous criminal psychopath" not just a worldwide, the universewide power and authority? Ahhh, no...? Anyway, today I will familiarize you with the example of the character, described above, and how it affected the character's identity in the eyes of the players. Let me introduce, the Dark Cosmic Jhin.

Dark Cosmic Jhin

"Jhin was an interstellar entity, consumed by the Dark Star and given new purpose. Now his ageless mind is infected by visions of omnipotence, and consumed by an insatiable hunger. He scours entire regions of space seemingly on a whim, using the remnants to create bizarre, silent objets d'art."
- In-game description of Dark Cosmic Jhin 

    The description technically copies the backstory of the original one and just rewrites it in a "cosmic drama" way. The desired similarity and difference between the characters' atmosphere can be noticed even in the splash arts, both of them include Jhin in his work, and we immediately see the difference in the scope of the characters’ capabilities.

    While Jhin destroyed the life of one person, his cosmic alter-ego destroyed the whole planet. Technically, like viewers, we should grade the cosmic one as the worst person, than the original, because there is no way viewers can understand how important that planet was, but they can associate it with their own one, and add 1 to 1 found a feeling that, oh boy, they don't wanna found their own planet in this situation. But if I say.. That it didn't work? Let me explain, who you more likely will describe as a "meticulous criminal psychopath", the theoretical Hannibal Lecter or Godzilla? That the what I talking about, the Dark Cosmic Jhin is obviously is gorgeous and impressive creature, but clearly there is no one who could be better Jhin, than Jhin himself.
