THE LOOSE CANNON JINX
A manic and impulsive criminal from Zaun, Jinx lives to wreak havoc
without care for the consequences. With an arsenal of deadly weapons, she
unleashes the loudest blasts and brightest explosions to leave a trail of
mayhem and panic in her wake. Jinx despises boredom, and gleefully brings
her own chaotic brand of pandemonium wherever she goes.
While most look at Jinx and see only a mad woman wielding an array of
dangerous weapons, a few remember her as a relatively innocent girl from
Zaun—a tinkerer with big ideas who never quite fit in. No one knows for
certain what happened to turn that sweet young child into a wildcard,
infamous for her wanton acts of destruction. But once Jinx exploded onto
the scene in Piltover, her unique talent for sowing anarchy instantly
became the stuff of legend. Jinx first gained notoriety through her
anonymous “pranks” on the citizens of Piltover… particularly those with
connections to the wealthy merchant clans. These pranks ranged from the
moderately annoying to the criminally dangerous. She blocked streets on
Progress Day, with a stampede of exotic animals freed from Count Mei’s
menagerie. She disrupted trade for weeks when she lined the city’s iconic
bridges with adorably destructive flame chompers. Once, she even managed
to move every street sign in town to new and utterly confusing locations.
Though this unknown troublemaker’s targets seemed random, and her
motivation nothing more than pure chaos, her actions always served to
bring the city’s orderly bustle to a screeching halt. Naturally, the
wardens attributed some of her crimes to chem-punk gangs from the
undercity. Having others get credit for her manic schemes didn’t sit well
with Jinx, and so she made sure to make her presence known at every future
crime scene. Rumors soon circulated of the mysterious, blue-haired Zaunite
girl carrying chemtech explosives, a shark-mouthed rocket launcher, and a
repeater gun. Still, the authorities dismissed these reports as
preposterous. After all, how could a lowly street punk possibly obtain
such lethal ordnance? Jinx’s bombastic spree seemed endless, with the
wardens’ attempts to catch the culprit thwarted at every turn. She began
tagging her works of destruction with vivid graffiti, and other taunting
messages directed at the city sheriff’s newest ally in the fight against
crime, Enforcer Vi. Jinx’s reputation grew, leaving the people of Zaun
divided as to whether she was a hero for sticking it to the arrogant
Pilties, or a dangerous lunatic for escalating existing tensions between
their two cities. After months of ever-increasing carnage, Jinx unveiled
her biggest plan yet. In her trademark electric pink, Jinx daubed the
walls of the Ecliptic Vaults—one of Piltover’s most secure treasuries—with
a very unflattering caricature of Enforcer Vi, and the details of her own
intention to rob the stores within. An uneasy sense of anticipation
settled on Piltover and Zaun leading up to the promised date of the heist.
Many doubted even Jinx would have the guts to show up and risk almost
certain capture. When the day arrived, Vi, Sheriff Caitlyn, and the
wardens prepared a trap for Jinx outside the treasury. But Jinx had
already smuggled herself inside by way of an oversized coin crate that had
been delivered days before. When Vi heard pandemonium erupt from inside
the structure, she knew the wardens had been outclassed once again. She
burst into the treasury, and the ensuing confrontation left the Ecliptic
Vaults a smoldering ruin, and the merry mischief maker Jinx nowhere to be
found. Jinx remains at large to this day, and is a constant thorn in
Piltover’s side. Her schemes have inspired copycat crimes among the
chem-punks, as well as numerous satirical plays lampooning the
incompetence of the wardens, and even a smattering of new colloquialisms
throughout both cities—though no one has yet had the courage to call
Enforcer Vi “Pretty-in-Pink” to her face. Jinx’s ultimate endgame, and her
obvious obsession with Vi, both remain a mystery, but one thing is
certain: her crimes are continuing and growing in sheer audacity.
