[hr][h3]Characterization[/h3]

[color=Green][b]Appearance[/b][/color]

Despite his unassuming demeanor, Rai's appearance is rather striking. Rai is 5'8 with a muscular build, often making him appear intimidating for his age. Scars adorn his body through his rigorous training, mistakes, and penance. His topsoil brown hair is chin length, curly, and tapered up on the sides. His eyes are a brownish hazel. What seems to be the most distinctive feature, though, is that his skin not only takes the darker color of his mother, but unevenly mixed about his body are bright patches reminiscent to his father's. This rare condition is often the target of ridicule by his grandparents due to genetic defiance to tradition of the family being unified, even down to appearance. 

When he was younger he covered it up, his hands, feet, and even over his face with masks. However after getting his nickname from his father, he's been more confident in the last year. Rai still, out of respect, covers most of his skin, but he doesn't wear masks anymore. His clothing varies, but is typically green, as is often worn by those of his clan.

[color=Green][b]Personality[/b][/color]

[indent]Rai was raised to have the three Cs: Calm, Critical, and Confident. This essentially gives him a reserved or laid back aura that follows him around, often putting off the impression that he doesn’t take things seriously or that he simply doesn’t care. Though, the truth is, he’s very determined in focusing his best efforts in whatever task he puts his mind to. One of his most defining traits is his stubbornness, unwilling to easily give up on the things he believes in. Rai strives to prove that he belongs. To maintain the honor that his family name implicates as descendents of the Great Ryu Lee. 

Those who pay close attention, know him as a Ninja of Iron Will.

When in public or even simply around those of his clan, excluding his father of course, he is more formal. The young man is fully aware of how much they don’t really like him despite their shared blood. Rai’s had to grow up with chiding words, exclusion, and overall general distance from them and other people. With always having to deal with the frustrations of his situation, he is very resilient to most verbal assaults. One could say those factors force him to remain humble; to keep his head down and only speak when spoken to. In essence, his actions typically speak louder than his words.

With those closer to him however, Rai is more willing to let emotion show. That he has a sense of humor, an adventurous spirit, and a fair share of kindness for others. He has a bit of a mischievous side as well.[/indent]


[color=Green][b]Origin Story[/b][/color]

[indent]Rai Lee was born to Saw Lee and Asari. In his first year of life, his mother Asari had left Rai in Konoha with Saw, presumably due to the scandalous nature of their relationship. With those of the clan seeing his mother as a deserter and her son in turn an outsider, it ultimately came down to his father speaking up for and claiming Rai as his son. With his father being the clan head, there was no real way to dispute it. 

Still, this didn’t stop his family, especially his grandparents, from looking down on him. Other people looked at him strangely because of his multicolored skin. Even for a time, his own father was distant to him. Whenever Rai asked about his mother, there was a negative tone that stemmed from the vague answers to his questions. Easily picking up that something bad had happened, he eventually stopped asking about it. 

Rai proved to be a little disappointing to some in his training to become a shinobi. On one hand, he was typically stronger and faster than the kids his own age group. This made taijutsu come more easily for him. On the other hand, though, he had seemingly no talent in the other processes needed to pass certain exams; even for the reputation for a Lee. His grandparents were quick to pin him as a failure, but his father didn’t give up on him. Despite Saw’s initial distance, they grew closer and bonded through his shinobi training. With trial, error, and perseverance, Rai managed to pass and move on.

During his time in the academy was when it was believed that his father had died when performing a secret shinobi mission. Fortunately enough though, his father did survive his final mission, though, due to spinal injury, he was severely crippled. With medical aid, he could walk again, but his compromised mobility forced resignation from actively serving in the shinobi business. Although somewhat disheartened, Rai was more grateful that he came home. 

He lashed out during his father’s supposed death, and as it turned out, he naturally radiated lightning chakra. With his newly found abilities, his raw potential gained a sharp incline. In tandem with Saw’s grooming, Rai was quickly becoming a force to be reckoned with despite his lack other ninjutsu forms. Upon passing the genin exams, Saw had given him a gift; a book that his mother had left behind. Looking into it initially, it seemed to be his mother’s journal of sorts in how she learned to control and master her inner lightning.

For most of the past year, he had been studying the book as a guide, trying to glean what he could from it to make his abilities stronger. He found from her comments relating to her past situations that in his journey of growing up so far, his struggles were like Asari’s. Rai hadn’t seen his mother since he was too young to fully remember. Still, he held onto an anxious hope that perhaps one day, he could finally find her…

[indent][i]Taijutsu[/i]
This is the Lee Clan’s trademark being the Strong-Fist style of Taijutsu. As his family line down the generations has gotten weaker in ninjutsu, they have had to rely on their physical condition to keep up with other shinobi. Being trained in it from youth, made it his passion. Considering the physical demands of the style, Rai naturally became much stronger, faster, and more durable than most genin to chunin level opponents. It has gotten to a point where he needs more advanced opponents than those of his own class in order to properly grow his skills.

[i]Navigation[/i]
Rai is fairly good at reading maps and gaining a sense of direction when he’s lost. This is due to his often being in the forest, his father giving him some nature survival tips, and studying, to be frank.

[i]Medical Knowledge[/i]
Rai possesses deceptively in-depth knowledge of human anatomy and how the body typically works when unenhanced by chakra. This is, in part, due to his training in how to inflict the most damage on his opponents or the quickest ways to disable them. However, this also comes from a subconscious obsession forming in regards to his father’s injury; hoping to restore him one day.

[i]Historical Knowledge[/i]
With his family being fairly heavily ruled in tradition, Rai has been essentially forced to study and know of the past. His ancestry, notable events, and of course, traditions, are all things that he has a good grasp on. This broadens his view of things in ways that a good many sharing his age either don’t care about, or simply don’t know. In his eyes, there are some traditional practices that he likes and others needing adjustment or exclusion from the rapidly changing world.[/indent]

As a tradition mandates for Lee clan warriors, Rai often wears weighted clothing to learn endurance, while also maximizing his strength and speed. It can be of hindrance however, as he isn't used to his own full strength and speed without them.

The small notebook that he carries around contains quotes and information that he believes will be useful, as well as drawings of what he observes.[/center]
