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 black hair is short in length but stands tall on his head. It is rough and often tapered up on the sides. His eyes are a brownish hazel. What seems to be the most distinctive feature, though, is that his skin takes the darker tones of his mother, as a Lee. This 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 and some lingering insecurity, 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.[/indent] [color=a187be][b]Persona[/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. Those who pay close attention, know him as a ninja of iron will, unwilling to give up on the things he believes in. Rai strives to prove that he belongs; to maintain the honor that his family name implies as descendents of the Great Ryu Lee. 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=a187be][b]Origin[/b] [/color] [indent]Rai Lee was born to Saw Lee and Asoui. In his first year of life, his mother Asoui 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 foreign appearance. For a time, even 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, he had seemingly no talent in the other processes needed to pass certain exams; even for the reputation of 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, it was believed that his father had died when performing a secret shinobi mission. Fortunately enough though, his father did survive his final mission. However 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. During the period of his father’s supposed death, Rai lashed out which led to the discovery that 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 in 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 on 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 Asoui’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… If she was still alive.[/indent] [color=a187be][b]Showcase[/b][/color] [indent]The Lee Clan’s trademark is 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 with the lightning chakra that he radiates, 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.[/indent] [color=a187be][b]Arms[/b][/color] Dual Tonfa [color=a187be][b]Nature Release[/b][/color] Lightning [color=a187be][b]Main Jutsu[/b][/color] [url=https://naruto.fandom.com/wiki/Eight_Gates]Eight Gates[/url] [sub]Capable of opening Gate Four.[/sub] [url=https://naruto.fandom.com/wiki/Lightning_Release:_Overdrive]Lightning Overdrive[/url] [sub]When used in this form, the lightning on his skin at times appears black opposed to bright colors.[/sub] [color=a187be][b]Flaws | POF[/b][/color] His largest weakness lies in the ability to fall susceptible to genjutsus, as he has little to no resistance to them. While he is intelligent enough to determine whether he is in one or not, skilled genjutsu users can still fool him. Rai hopes to one day learn how to use his lightning chakra to enhance his senses as his mother journaled herself capable of. Furthermore, as a tradition mandates for Lee clan warriors, Rai often wears weighted clothing to learn endurance. The weight of which increases with his age and strength. It can be of hindrance however, as with them, he is capable of getting tired much quicker. On the flipside, he isn't fully used to his own strength and speed without them, which can make him cause mistakes. Finally the Eight Gates, while powerful, are also quite dangerous as they exert his body beyond its limits. Despite his conditioning, Rai has been taught only to use them as a last resort. Especially without his weights, he requires more training before he can utilize the Gates efficiently.
