Many people mistake him as masochistic due to the fact that he must cut himself to use his powers. He looks out for his friends and believes that everyone deserves a chance to prove themselves. Once one earns Lei’s respect, they will have it for life. Lei also has a tendency to look out for the underdog….<br/><br/><strong>History:</strong> Long ago in a galaxy far, far away…. Well ok maybe not that long ago just about 30 years and really not in a galaxy far, far away. His father was from a suburb of Boston and his mother the daughter of a martial arts master in Shanghai. Perhaps to some China might be considered a galaxy far, far away, but oh well right?<br/><br/>Anyways Lei’s father Ryan Denning met his future wife Sun Yang Mi while on a business trip and after a whirlwind romance the two were married gaining Ryan one pissed father in law… A couple of short years later Lei was born and was named after his grandpa, which earned Ryan some brownie points. As Lei’s father traveled between the Chinese and American branches of the office, Lei lived in China with his grandparents and mother until the age of 13 at the school that housed multiple styles. It was also during this time where he learned Wing Chun from his Grandfather, and from the others in the school he studied Shaolin Kung Fu and Muay Thai.<br/><br/>Moving with his parents back to the U.S. to finish schooling there, his mother took over his training. From her Lei learned Jeet Kune Do which gave birth to his curiosity about Bruce Lee and caused him to collect the books that was written by the famous actor. It also gave birth to him enjoying the movies as well…<br/><br/>While he was finishing school Lei’s path split from where his parents wanted him to go as he started a band with some friends. They had intended the group to just be a fun side project as their lives moved on. However the right person heard them playing at a party and “A Murder of Crows” got themselves a record deal. They would never be as big as some bands, but they had a pretty good sized following. <br/><br/>Over the years Lei might have partied up his fair share, but he also knew that it wouldn’t last forever so he saved as well. During one night he made a discovery about himself… One night he had locked himself away writing for the new album when, Lei ended up cutting himself while slicing up some food. He didn’t want to bleed everywhere and make a mess, and was surprised as his blood followed his wishes and just hung there in midair. Even more amazing was the fact that his self inflicted wound healed in minutes. Lei knew about the Evolved of course and had even snuck in some references into some of their songs, but he had never dreamed he might have been one. Over the years Lei had healed a little quicker then others, but never thought about it. <br/><br/>After that the time he had locked himself away was divided… Some of the time was devoted to writing the songs and coming up with blazing new riffs. The other amount of time was to gain as much control over his Hemokinesis as he could. Lei really didn’t want any attention brought to him given the state of the world. All Lei wanted was to make his music in peace, but he would be ready to use those same powers to defend himself if need be. <br/><br/>Eventually Lei decided to leave the band after finding out more about the attacks by TAC 6. He didn’t want to get his friends involved as they didn’t know about his gifts…. So Lei has fallen back on creating rings, and he has been writing again possibly contemplating a solo career. The rings he creates do double duty to draw the blood he needs for his powers.<br/><br/><strong>Likes:</strong> Music, Movies, Guitars, Leather, Martial Arts, Anime, close combat<br/><strong>Dislikes:</strong> Bullies, Critics, No Imaginations, ranged combat (though he will fight at range if needed.)<br/><strong>Strengths:</strong> High pain tolerance, hand to hand combat, multilingual<br/><strong>Weaknesses:</strong> High pain tolerance, risk of exsanguination, while using powers, needing to get close to fight<br/><strong>On's &amp; Off's:</strong> dressing up, ladies who are not turned away by his powers, sex to music (preferably metal), the feeling of nails on his back. Offs include anything that belongs into the bathroom, blood (some drawn by fingernails is fine, but no knives in bed!)<br/><br/><strong><span class="bbc_u">Notes</span></strong><br/><br/>When using his powers, Lei’s face takes on the corpse paint look he wore while in his band. <br/><br/>While his powers are mostly used for offense he can sometimes up his defense by hardening his blood.<br/><br/><strong><span class="bbc_u">Powers</span></strong><br/></span><ul class="bbc_list"><li><strong>Hemokinesis (5):</strong> </li></ul>Lei’s main power is the ability to control and manipulate blood inside his own body, as well as outside his body with varying degrees of success. His own blood can always be manipulated, but Lei needs open wounds to access it. Any blood outside his body can also be freely manipulated as long as it is not inside another human body. Blood that is A+ like Lei’s is easiest for him to control followed by other types.<br/><br/>Blood in other human bodies have been most difficult for Lei to control. The best he is able to do is inducing pain in others by influencing their blood. Only once has he been able to control another person and that was during a time of great emotion and he was left exhausted afterwards. These are his current techniques:<br/><br/><em><strong>Blood Shot:</strong></em>This is one of his lesser used attacks and it comes in a pair of different styles. The first is a single shot that varies in speed and power due to the effort, Lei puts into the shot. The second is a scatter shot style attack that acts more as a shotgun blast. The blood shot attacks uses up his own blood supply and can overtask the rate he can regenerate it.<br/><br/><em><strong>Blood Crystallization:</strong></em>This is Lei’s most commonly used power in which he solidifies his own blood turning it into various bladed weaponry. When it’s his own blood he commonly uses a scythe styled blades coming from his forearms. Though if there’s enough usable blood on the outside or he decides to use more blood, he makes a full scythe complete with staff.<br/><br/>He has also used this ability to create throw able knives, other styles of blades and even a spear at one point. Lei has also started to think up new ways of using solid blood such as hardening it over his fists to increase striking power. However these also fall into the parts where he can over task his healing ability.<br/><br/><ul class="bbc_list"><li><strong>Regenerative Healing Factor (4):</strong> </li></ul>Unlike the healing abilities that other Evolves might have, Lei’s is a bit different. While wounds inflicted on him by outside forces might heal slightly faster then a regular human, his healing ability is primarily for self inflicted injuries. It also replenishes the blood that Lei might use during fights at an accelerated rate.<br/>
