Oh, and in response to the edit, most of Donny's backstory is iffy on purpose. That's the kind of pull he has. He's meant to be someone smart enough to bypass laws, as stated in his CS. He also cannot think his way out of any situation that I myself can't. If you place me in a locked room, I can't just say 'Donny escaped'. I have to explain how, and it must make sense. In that way Donny's power is limited, by the options available to me and how I use them. 
If the Jinrai are indeed more skilled, more clever, then I'd imagine that will become evident through who plays them, yes?
