Jhin and Jinx

I wonder if they are both users of Shimmer?

"Shimmer is a corrosive techmaturgical waste substance that is popular among Zaun's rebellious youth. When slathered onto the skin the Shimmer, stimulates intense emotions in its subject. The Shimmer then creates an assortment of shining colors that corresponds to the emotion the subject is feeling. Though frequent application of the caustic glop can result in progressive degeneration of the skin and muscle tissue, a rumor that Shimmer can grant its wearer unnatural abilities has simply increased its demand."

Jinx looks relatively normal, but she's a bit skinny. As for Jhin, he's missing his right arm and both legs. Perhaps Jhin lost his limbs due to constant application of Shimmer?

If that's not the case, Freud would say these two characters are anal expulsive: (people who have this condition exhibit cruelty, emotional outbursts, disorganization, self-confidence, (sometimes) artistic ability, generosity, rebelliousness and general carelessness.)

I'm pretty sure Jhin is from Ionia.

He is but his dialogue suggests he's traveled all over doing performances. So its plausible he could get his hands on it.

I don't see him using Shimmer thought. Jinx has a neurotic personality which seems more in line with someone how would abuse mind-altering substances. Jhin is too composed. His high seems to be his own narcissism and murdering others.

I'd agree there, Jhin has the classic psychopathic characteristics similar to Hannibal Lecter. Keep intellect, narcissism, unwavering focus on his purpose.

Jhin seems too composed for that.

Jinx however would be plausible,I mean her skin color doesn't look very natural either.
