His black pants, tattered and faded in places, ended over bare feet, and were seemingly suppoerted over his waist by a thick rope, which wrapped his waist several times. His hands and feet are wrapped in bandages; interestingly enough, there is also a bandage wrapped around his eyes as well.



Personality:  Basic/Social:
"Please, do not mistake my silence for ignorance, my calmness for acceptance, nor my kindness for weakness."

Lee is a quiet individual, an introverted and reflective soul. He does not speak unless spoken to, nor does he speak without thinking first. The outcome of this patient approach to socializing is often a witty remark, or wise saying. Even then, his responses are short. His voice is soft, almost fragile, as if he is shy. His quietness often sets him apart. His elders often said that he would grow up to be "the strong, silent type". He is a thinker, not in the battle sense, but philosophical, due to the teachings that the monks of the Monastary instilled in him. He’s polite and even gracious, particularly to people who treat him with respect. Those who do not treat him this way or those who insult him should know he will not hesitate to spit words of venom and bile in response and, when necessary, punch out a few teeth.

Training/Combat:

"Remember that guy that gave up? Yea, neither does anybody else."

Lee takes his training seriously. There have been many a time that he's gone out to train in the morning and not returned until well after sunset. While not power-hungry like most of his kin, he does believe in pushing himself past his limits. He lives by the philosiphy of "If you place limits on yourself, then they will spread over into the rest of your life. There are no limits; hard work pays off -- you get what you put in. So why stop?" Lee will try his best to train with multiple partners, just to increase his effectiveness in battle against different styles. He often practices jutsu and taijutsu combinations for hours on end, simply because he wishes to use them to thier most effective potential i.e, practicing a jutsu to the point that he no longer needs to speak the jutsu's name to use it.

"Be polite. Be professional. Have a plan to kill everyone you meet."

In combat, Lee tends to remain silent under the motto 'I'm not here to talk with you. If I am sent to the front line, then my orders are clear: I am to end your life by any means necesary, even if it costs me my own." In his eyes, the people who boast in battle annoy him greatly, often to the point of him breaking his code of silence to scream at them to shut up and let thier skills do the talking. In battle, he often forgos speaking a jutsu's name, just to throw his opponent's off balance or even weaving false hand seals to confuse an opponent.

History: As a young child, Lee Sin was intent on becoming a ninja. His will and dedication were unmatched by any of his peers, and his skill drew the attention of Kato Uchiwa, the Yokuchi's High Councilor at the time. While studying at the Academy, Lee Sin became frustrated with instruction paced for the other students. He spent his free time researching the nuances of Ninjutsu and Summoning in hopes of graduating sooner. He made amazing advances in his summoning studies, surpassing all other students. By all indications, he would have become one of the Yokuchi''s greatest summoners were it not for one terrible mistake. Too impatient, he attempted to test his ability by summoning a beast from the Plague Jungles. What he summoned instead was a young boy, but not in one piece. He barely had time to look the boy in what was once his face before the jumbled human mass fell lifeless to the floor. A police investigation later revealed that the boy's entire village was obliterated by feedback from the ritual.

Lee Sin's talents were so promising that the village council was willing to overlook the incident, but he could never forgive himself. He left the academy and journeyed to the Shojin Monastery for eternal repentance, swearing never to practice summoning again. It was here that the monks of the monastery began to teach Lee Sin humility through the order's rigorous training methods. They taught the child how to turn his grief and sorrow into discipline, and in turn, Lee gave them everything. His mind flourished under the training, and his body developed into a fighting machine. Upon his arms the placed iron rings to increase his strength; upon his ankles were placed leg weights in order to train his speed. It was under these conditions that his mind and body flourished. Lee threw himself into his training like he once did his summoning studies.

It was not long before it became apparent that Lee Sin was quickly becoming one of the most talented monks within the monastery. It was not long that Lee was tasked with guarding a treasure of the Monastary; an old scroll that was said to house a dangerous jutsu. Rumor had it that if one were to even read the scroll with out the proper power, the knowledge within would kill them. Lee took to guarding the scroll humbly, but his curiousity got the better of him. One night during his turn at guarding the scroll, he opened it and read the contents. From that point on, Lee would not recount the events of that night; according to the head monk, Lee's screams awoke the rest of the monks When they converged on the scene, they found the young man rolling on the ground, blood pouring between the fingers that were covering his eyes, and a blank scroll.

The head monk, immediately knowing what happened, ordered that Lee be taken away and locked in a Lightless room after his eyes were bandaged. When Lee came to several days later, he was approached by the monks, and informed of what happened; as a result of him reading the scroll, a powerful, but dealy doujutsu was sealed into his eyes. This doujutsu could not be undone, nor deactivated and would kill him if used for too long. The only way to kep it from killing him would be to keep his eyes covered so that he could not see. He was also told that while he would not be kicked out of the monastary, he would be required to make atonement for his transgression.

As Lee Sin began to show more and more talent, and more and more fortitude with his ability the monks kept careful watch over him and his training. When they thought that he was ready they approached him with a specific quest that they wanted him to accomplish as atonement for his transgression. It was something they had been planning for him to be the one to accomplish for quite a while, and had simply been waiting for the most opportune time: a time when he was ready and fully prepared. The task they wanted him to complete was simple: they needed him to set out in the world to locate a specific member of a nearly dead tribe. This tribe had secrets and techniques that need to be preserved, to be protected, long after this tribe member was gone. They wanted to ensure the continuation of practices, and the protection of knowledge. However, they knew the world was a vast and dangerous place, and thus wished to task Lee Sin with this job.

Therefore, they brought this task before Lee Sin, explaining their reasoning’s behind the task as well as how dangerous it was likely going to be. As well as how difficult. Lee Sin had to locate one person, after all, in a sea of many. This individual was described as an older female, roughly in her early thirties. She had white hair that shifted to golden, yellow eyes, and fox like features: a large bushy tail and fox like ears. She was part of a tribe that had one flourished but which had recently been killed off and she was the soul survivor – though they admitted that this was information that was years old at best. Lee Sin agreed to the task, even knowing the difficulties, and after making the proper preparations he set out at once to begin his search. As he knew it would be it was a long and hard search – he had to be careful what questions he asked due to needing to ensure the safety of his target.

When not asking questions he simply listened; hearing the rumors of strange creatures, or humans who weren't really human at all. Throughout his searching through the villages finally a rumor reached Lee Sin's ears that brought him back to Yokuchigakure. The rumor had been that a young fox child had been spotted stealing food and bringing it out to some location deep within the desert. This child was always alone though: with no mention of an older female. Upon arriving at Yokuchi Lee Sin further delved into these rumors, sifting through what was likely fiction from fact. The constant seemed to be though that this fox child had once belonged as a pet of sorts to a man named Yung. Yung had used her until recently as a guard dog; having her kill his targets and keep him safe. The rumors also mentioned the constant condition of the girl – clearly making it easy to assume that Yung often beat her. An incident roughly six months ago, as the rumors also spoke of, indicated that something traumatic had happened to cause the girl to lash out at her master and maim him rather well before disappearing into the desert where it had been said that she had lived since.

With this information now gathered, and quite sure he was looking in the right direction, Lee Sin headed out towards the desert to search – all while also keeping an ear out on the rumors of this Yung fellow. He had no idea what he was going to find, but he had a job to accomplish and he wasn't going to give up until his task was completed: he owed the monks that much for all that they had done for him.

He searched for days until he came across a cave that was in better shape then the rest. He kept watch for hours until he saw movement inside, just within the shadows. Figuring this had to be it, but not wanting to rush into things, he set up camp a ways off and simply took to watching: watching and waiting to see if this was the fox female he had been sent to find – or at least a unknown descendant.
