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.

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…

Because of his skill in designing complex mechanisms, he was employed by many to create all sorts of complicated locks, secret hideaways and puzzle boxes, with the aim of helping people to keep valuables safe and away […]

While out in Eterna Forest for another night of hauntings and fun, Jinji discovers an odd stone radiating a strange power. Little does he know, he’s about to find himself challenged by one very tricky spirit…
I have a little announcement to make regarding the status of one of the oldest “Jinji the Gengar” stories. Some of you will likely be very familiar with The Revenge of Witch Espurr, or at least one of the many animations it has spawned. This multi-animation project, which originated from an animated signature designed for […]

So a good friend of mine from DeviantArt, Ironicatty, told me recently how she’s noticed that everything she draws for herself tends to skew towards a goth or punk style; and she’d like to draw something with a totally different vibe. Well, I’m always one for giving people new ideas; and if you’ve ever read the Origin of Jinji’s Name, you’ll know that one of his original inspirations was the Ninja. So I thought, why not ask her to draw Jinji in the style of a Ninja?
Owing to a recent discovery of an archive of some older works of mine, and a review of content from my DeviantArt page, I’m pleased to announce the addition to the Jinji the Gengar website of three classic works. First off, we have one of my first ever Jinji stories, “The Storm From Nowhere”. This […]
After reading a book on “Diseases of the Human Body” and learning about the common cold, Jinji decides he wants to learn just how easily snot spreads and about its infectious potential. Being a Gengar, however, Jinji has no experience of a cold to draw on to ensure an accurate experiment. Suddenly, he remembers his old idol, and realises that the self-proclaimed Master of Mucus would be the perfect companion to help him ensure an accurate experiment. Thus begins Jinji’s snottiest plot yet…

All […]
