“	For every second we spend not fighting, the enemy's arrows are one-sidedly slaughtering our allies on the ladders. So, don't think about anything else and just think putting a stop to that. Just think about saving your allies and follow your big brother's lead.	”
—Jin to his brother, Tan.

Sou Jin is a member of the Hi Shin Unit's Archery Division and part of the first class of rookie soldiers trained entirely by the Hi Shin veterans. He is the oldest son of the late Sou Gen, the Qin respective of the Ten Bows of China and the older brother of Sou Tan.

Appearance

Sou Jin has large eyes and a small build. This gives him a young appearance with hair being middle-long, and his face is cleanly shaved. He wears two small feathers on his head.

Personality

A young man with spunk, Jin is not afraid to speak what's on his mind but also does not want to embarrass himself in front of others. He also admires the Hi Shin Unit and their moral code.

History

Sou Jin's father Sou Gen went to the military to challenge the Ten Bows of China. When he and his brother protested due to a lack of stable food supply, their father told them to hunt with their bows. Sou Gen got drafted into the Duke Hyou Army and died soon after. So, he and his brother assumed, that he got trampled down during one of the Duke's wild charges. After their father's death, he and his brother eked out a living as hunters in the mountains; constantly competing with each other to hone their archery skills.

Story

Bureaucrats Job Arc

Sou Jin and his brother, Sou Tan, wanted to apply for the Hi Shin Unit because they had a very good moral codex. Yet they didn't make it through the strength & endurance test. However, once that they showed their supreme archery skills, they were recruited as talented specialists.

Western Zhao Invasion Arc

Sou Jin and his brother try to teach the other archers of the Hi Shin Unit how to shoot as they do. But they are not very good at explaining their technique.

Later when the Yo Tan Wa’s detachment is sieging the city of Retsubi Jin and Tan are drafted to the Chou Ka Tribe to clean the walls for Bajio's clan, who is going to create a foothold. At first, he is trembling, because he can see the faces of the Zhao defenders. But then he gets a grip and starts to shoot in order to defend their allies. At first, he targeted the officers of the archer squads and then started to clean the wall with stunning accuracy. When Bajio and his men are at the top of the ladder, he killed the whole shield wall with arrows and the foothold is created. He later scolds his brother and told him to reflect on his inability to act. As the Qin armies take Retsubi, Jin talks with Ka Ryo Ten while sitting alone. She tells that feeling the shaking from taking lives is a normal reaction in the life of a soldier and that it isn't a sign of weakness while also saying that it shows that he truly belongs with the Hi Shin Unit and how kind, weak, and stronger he will become from now. That it's nothing to be ashamed of.

During the Battle at Shukai Plains, Jin supports Kan To and the Hi Shin Infantry as they were attacked by Shin Riku and his heavy cavalry. He kills quite a number of cavalry while his brother kills their horses, this buys time for the infantry to rally and counterattack. Days later Jin and his brother Tan supporting are the unit from behind as he wounds one of the Ten Spears clashing with Ga Ro while suffering from bleeding blisters. He later tries to rescue Ten from Kin Mou's assault unit but is incapacitated after charging into one of their horses to save her but is knocked out and was nearly killed if not for Sou Tan's attack, killing all attackers, and eventually the Zhao general himself. Jin missus the rest of the battle but is seen celebrating with the rest of the Hi Shin and Qin soldiers after receiving food from the Qi and successfully taking Gyou.
