appearance
Tall and thin, but with a muscular build. Jae Ha was once a pirate and now travels the world with his friends constantly getting into battles and wars. He's fit, and since beauty is something that's very important to him, he always manages to look put together. He prefers to have his long, dark green hair held back with a ribbon, and he wears long robes over pants with boots. No matter his attire, and no matter the setting, he will always cover his feet and legs to avoid showing off his right leg, which is green and scaled. He finds it ugly and has a lot of resentment towards it for various reasons, so will even be reluctant to show it to those he's comfortable with.
His eyes are fairly angled, earning him the nickname "droopy-eyes", and they vary slightly in color between the manga and anime. Purple in the anime, more of a blue in the manga— I'm going to go ahead and say he's somewhere in between.
He holds himself with class and confidence. Understanding how people work, he knows how to observe the body language of others, and so he knows how to perform with his own when necessary, as well. Headpats and other reassuring gestures are common to help ease the tensions of his group of mostly younger friends, and he tends to try and hold back when he's in any sort of pain or suffering himself.
Lastly, his jumping is described as "soaring through the sky". Due to the power of his leg, he can jump long distances if uninterrupted, though he'll always have to come back down. He lands with grace, and he fights fluidly and quickly, almost like a dancer.

personality
Jae Ha is the flirty, charming and pretty Big Brother of the group. He's the oldest of the characters traveling, other than the immortal one, and so he falls into that big brother role especially easily. This was also the case back in his pirate crew, where all of the pirates looked up to him. He is able to stay calm and it's rare that we see his anger, so he's able to hold back other hot-headed types in the group from fights that may escalate into further dangerous situations. He's wise in a lot of ways of the world, due to what he's been through in his life. He's someone that has high morals, as we see him struggling with the weight of needlessly killing others, but he's also someone who can think through alternatives and realize that sometimes death is necessary to keep those you love safe in times of war. He also knows how to use things to his own advantage, such as using smooth-talking and his own good looks to obtain needed items for the group. His smarts have also been shown in just how cunning he can be when the time comes for it, and when he does show his rare anger, it's powerful and always for the sake of protecting those around him. It's worth noting that he's also incredibly perceptive, and we see it time and time again. He knows when members of the group are struggling and usually can pick up on clues to tell him roughly what, if not exactly what. Things like noticing someone's hands are rough when they normally shouldn't be, or seeing red eyes from tears after a hidden cry-fest, or picking up on changed behavior due to an emotional struggle.
He's kind, and definitely a throbbing heart when it comes to the struggles that the group has to face with the reality of how cruel the world can be. But he also has great admiration for people like Yona and his old captain Gi Gan who both showed him that people can be good, strong and kind despite everything pitted against them. He admires strength and beauty heavily for this reason— it's the power and desire to make the world a good place that gives off such a good impression for him. Some might label him a pervert due to his tendency to flirt with any woman he sees (and his admiration for beautiful and strong men comes close), but the truth is that he's a bleeding heart with a desire to use what he has left of his dragon lifespan to make good in the world for those directly around him.

background
TO BE ADDED
abilities
Jae Ha's abilities all are directly due to him being the Green Dragon. This means that he is the current reincarnation of the Green Dragon warrior from the original four dragons in the story's tale.
As the Green Dragon, his right leg from his thigh down to his toes is green and scaled like a dragon's. It has claws, as well, and is technically capable of changing size, but Jae Ha will absolutely never use this ability since he considers it ugly and is rather self conscious about the leg in general. Simply, his leg has super strength. He can use it for lethal kicks, he can jump with a kick to the ground that sends him soaring through the air almost as if flying, and he can even break things like boulders. Of course, the larger and stronger the object he breaks with his leg, the more it puts a strain on him, and the power limits of the game are easily kept. Even his flight is limited, since it's not actually flight, and he always has to come down after a jump.
It's also noteworthy that the dragons have a sort of supernatural sense included in their dragon blood. Dragons can sense one another's location. They can also tell if one another's presences feel "strange" if they are drugged, or other such things. However, Jae Ha in particular has learned how to suppress his own dragon presence from the others when focusing on it. This is due to how he originally wished to hide from his fate. If you would like to have your dragon-aligned character be sensed by Jae Ha in any way for CR purposes, we can do that! Otherwise, this will largely be unimportant.

warnings
Child abuse backstory connected to his conflicted feelings of being the green dragon. It's unlikely to come up unless pressed for, but it's there all the same! Otherwise, he's a flirt and a masochist but not at any level that should cause discomfort. So no other warnings I can think of!
