Birthplace: Sweet Springs, Missouri

Current Home: New York City

Occupation: musician

Appearance: about 6'1", roughly 160 lbs, athletic, shoulder-length black hair, brown eyes, tan skin. sharp features, with a slightly hawkish nose.

Personality: a bit dreamy. having come into his powers young, he's seen the world different light than others for most of his life. he's intelligent, kind, and has a sort of buddha-like quality, because he can see the content of someone's soul.

Power/Description: Lee is able to tap into the hearts and souls of others. He can read their emotional states, and influence their feelings and behaviour. He can make people experience not only the full range of human emotions, but he can make them experience physical feelings as well, like fatigue, nausea or suffocation. Though the overt changes in behaviour are temporary, he can also affect small subtle changes in character which may not even surface for a long time.

Greatest Strength: He cannot be lied to, and his power, though not as straightforward as regular telepathy, is very versatile and can let him escape most dangerous situations. His power also gives him the ability to affect a lot of good in the world, helping people with their pains and sorrows, and helping people want to better themselves and make good decisions.

Greatest Weakness: He doesn't like being in large crowds, as it has a tendency to make his mind feel a bit muddled, and overuse of his abilities leads to debilitating migraines. Also, when he's looked into someone's soul, he can never forget what he's seen, no matter how much he wants to.

Biography: Lee came into his abilities at an early age, and he is not the first in his family to have such powers. His father, a musician, had the power to prophesy the future through his music. His grandmother had the power of telekinesis, and his great-great aunt could travel through the spirit world. His father died when he was very young, but not before passing on his love of music. From then on, he was raised by his grandmother, and his mother, who had also lost her own parents early on. Not long thereafter, his abilities began to emerge, and his grandmother, knowing how her son had struggled with his powers, began to train him and guide him, teaching him responsibility and ethics.
As time went on, Lee began to adjust to his powers, and his new way of seeing the world, though most people still found him a bit odd. He also continued studying music, especially singing and classical guitar. As he did so, he learned his empathic gifts seemed somewhat enhanced by his music, and he found that he could amplify and refine his control over his abilities when playing his music. One night, he had a dream in which an older woman told him to look into his father's music journals, and follow the path they led. When he told his grandmother about it, she knew it was a message from his great-great aunt, who had disappeared into the spirit world years ago. She found his father's old journals, in which he had written his prophetic songs. After having deciphered the very symbolic and poetic lyrics, Lee made his way to New York City, where he now works as a street musician, waiting for the next of his father's prophesies to come along.
