I don't think Jhin is entirely human
Because when he dies, the mask floats off of his face, then disappears. As if the mask is dying instead of him.

Or maybe he is an unfortunate human being controlled by the psychopathic mask a la Jim carrie's Mask
Could be a ninja like escape trick like zed and ekko don't die when they die
well yea he's like at least 1/5 robot [slayer-jinx-wink]
He looks like fiddlestick in his high noon skin lol
It is also worth mentioning that in one of his emotes he takes off his mask to bow and there is nothing under it
This could mean that he can see through his black head cover, but then why can we see his eyes in the teaser video?
i dont know about that. the supernatural effects like his mask floating away after he dies can just be explained with magic.
as far and how he moves and speaks im chalking that up to riot trying to give him that crazy misunderstood artist angle you can find from time to time in history. what probably sells the idea of him being inhuman is most likely that supposed hump under his ionian pancho, which apparently is a part of his fully assembled sniping riffle whisper (which is fully assembled for his ult and disassembled normally because who brings a sniper riffle into a mid/close range killing field?). im sure totting that disassembled gun around on his person also caused strange manorisms in his posture and center of gravity that also plays into the idea of strange habits from a misunderstood artist theme.

Jhin is a facedancer rippoff reminds me of a facedancer from the Dune universe.
it doesn't exactly disappear. The mask flies off then lands back on his face for some reason
Haunting Guise is just going back to the shop. Where he can pick it back up when he respawns.
His dance reminds me of Pinocchio, so maybe he is a puppet controlled by the mask.
Maybe it's because Jhin is the mask (let me explain). Whenever we look at Jhin's face the first thing we see (or associate him with) is the mask. Whenever Jhin looks at himself (login screen) all he sees is the mask. Maybe Jhin has forgotten what he truly looks like and now only associates himself, his very own existence, his life, and his death with the mask. If Jhin dies the mask dies, and if he's alive then the mask is alive because Jhin and the mask are now one in the same. Almost similar to Michael Myers and his mask.
