Gameplay
Sin has an "Appetite Calorie System" that lets him perform multi-input moves with a number of various Super Cancels into Overdrives. However, the Appetite Calorie System has a calorie gauge that can be refilled via a special move. If the Appetite Calorie Gauge is used up, Sin will get hungry losing his usage of special moves, and must eat food to refill it through various amounts.

Powers & Abilities
Sin seems to have specialized in lightning magic, much like his father Ky; though it is stated that this magic is more derived from his mother (who can also manipulate lightning magic) than his father. However, unlike his father, Sin uses a war flag in battle, and his lightning is red. Most of his weapon tactics were taught to him by Sol Badguy. He also utilizes his Gear powers that were taught to him by Sol. He wears an eyepatch over his right eye as a seal to contain his immense powers. Removing it causes Sin and others to witness a nightmarish visage and causes his power to go awry, usually as an enormous explosion of black lightning(similar to Dizzy's Wings of Light). He is also capable of using low-level summons.
However, in terms of basic skills such as reading and education, Sin's upbringing in that area, especially by Sol (who is infamous for doing everything half-heartedly), is rather poor on that end.
