Described by his friends as "the embodiment of goo and shadows", Jinji the Gengar is a mischievous, fun-loving spook who never takes anything too seriously, except when it comes to battle! Originally the persona of one of Pokémon World Online's most famous Admins, Jinji has since taken on a life of his own as the Gengar master of an ever-growing band of Ghosts who treat each other as family; and who enjoy playing pranks, having fun and fooling about both with their hauntings and with each other. They follow Jinji's mantra of Lawful Neutrality and try to act spooky and scary but never actually harm anyone, unless they are a direct threat to themselves or other innocent life.
This site serves as the new online home for Jinji the Gengar; where he and his human handler (not Trainer – Jinji will never be tamed!) will host all the artwork designed for or with him over the years; publish new stories; and expand on the comic universe of Jinji and his many friends – both Ghost and non-Ghost – with new character descriptions, explanations of his canon, and an in-depth look into the many concepts and headcanons that make up the Realm of the Ghosts.

Wanting to get to know Enigma better, Jinji invites Enigma into his study and asks him to demonstrate his abilities. Enigma considers this an honour, and presents Jinji with a series of 3-dimensional wood jigsaws as examples of the types of puzzle he loves to make. To his surprise, however, Jinji solves them all in record time! Having prided himself in being an expert puzzle maker and locksmith in life, the spirit Enigma is shocked to learn just how skilled Jinji is at puzzles, and decides he needs to step up his game. So he pays a visit to a particular pungent prankster pal of Jinji’s. Together, the two of them create a truly explosive challenge for Jinji to attempt…
Wow, has it really been over six months since I last posted to my website? Time really does fly, kekeh… 🤭 Deviant Artist jules1998, also known as “D.A. Captain Jules”, ran a contest on DeviantArt and various social media sites to have an original character of yours reimagined as a Mega Man Robot Master — […]
Another year has passed, and another Portal Day Celebration has taken place. As per usual, Jinji has received a number of gifts for his special anniversary, two of which are now live here on the Jinji the Gengar website! Feel free to visit the Miscellaneous Art page, where you’ll find a brand new Birthday Artwork from my close friend Kitty the Gengar Queen; then go to the Comics page to find my latest Birthday Comic, “A Series of Sticky Surprises”. This is the result of the experiment I mentioned previously by myself, Kitty and Panda to write separate halves of the same comic blindly from each other — and the result is sure to surprise and delight!
Created for Jinji’s 2024 Birthday, this comic was also a writing experiment between Jinji and Kitty the Gengar Queen, with each writing half of the comic without seeing the other’s half. The resulting comic was then sent to Kumada Panda to be drawn and inked, so neither of us knew the contents of the other’s half until just before publication.
Jinji the Gengar is convinced by Enigma to lock himself away for 24 hours inside a coffin, while the rest of the Ghosts — as well as Kitty and Kumada Panda’s Ghost — prepare a special Birthday surprise for him. Of course, Jinji being Jinji, he has a surprise for them too! Neither party is expecting what happens next!
I’ve made a decision for 2024 to try to switch up my writing a little and expand the Jinji universe with works of a different nature to before, including some more serious storylines. Possibly even making a start on my planned main canon, Equilibrium. As part of this, I’ve decided to try out a little […]
In 2023, the talented artist and close friend of Jinji’s, Kumada Panda, decided to do a special surprise throughout October – drawing the OCs of hers and a few of her friends dressed up in costumes inspired by Digimon! Several characters got the Digimon crossover treatment, but it was Jinji who got the honour of […]
My server host has informed me of an upcoming move to a new datacentre, commencing 28th September. During this time, the server will be taken offline for a few hours to allow it to be safely moved. This may result in some short downtime for the Jinji the Gengar site and several other websites. So please don’t be shocked if it disappears for a few hours around the 28th September, but don’t worry – it’ll be back very soon!
This is an update I meant to do some weeks ago, but I became unexpectedly busy and then forgot 😊 The Character Profiles section has been updated and now features artwork of all the main cast members of the Jinji family! Thanks to my good friend Kumada Panda, you can now visit the profiles of Alessandro, Gaspar, Phantisserie and Enigma and be treated to a brand-new portrait of each. Some of these are not yet finalized, as there are some characters whose final design I have yet to determine […]
With the many adventures Jinji and his fellow Ghosts have had over the years, there are many characters outside of Jinji’s own home who have ended up featuring as part of his many tales and antics. After much consideration, I’ve decided to give these recurring characters due credit and attention here on the Jinji the Gengar website, through a new page I’m calling “Recurring Guests“.
A hypothetical tale imagined by Jinji and designed by Kumada Panda, which asks, “What if Jinji was a king with his own throne?” Jinji has invited you to his mansion for the official ceremony, but if there’s one thing for certain when it comes to this Gengar, mischief is likely to ensue…
