Daewung Lee

**Daewung Lee** (이대웅; *Li Daywoong*) is part of a special psyker unit in charge of violent crime in the Gadam district. He's also a mentor to Uchan Kim.

He has a sweetheart.

If he's not drinking coffee or soda, he's munching a sandwich or devouring a plate of doughnuts.

## Appearance

Daewung is a very tall man, even more than Uchan. His purple hair is tied back in neat cornrows. He has a purple goatee.

Daewung usually wears his signature purple tinted sunglasses even when in a hospital gown. Daewung's psyker outfit is a white tank top with a short yellow haori that has a black Lampas symbol on its back, with baggy samurai pants.

## Personality

Daewung is expressive. He's perfectly capable of putting on his business face when the situation calls for it, but for the most part, Daewung has an open face.

Daewung is friendly and jovial to everyone, even his seonbaes at work. He isn't openly serious all the time and talks casually with his apprentice, Uchan. However when the situation calls for it, he is rational and calm in a fight, and doesn't approve of Uchan being fast to use his flames when there are hostages around.

This man demonstrates patience and diligence as a mentor. He's committed to protecting Uchan in a fight, placing himself directly against villains and ordering his apprentice to act as backup. Outside of fights, he takes the time to talk Uchan through their casework. In this time, he gently guides the boy away from wild assumptions and toward rational thinking.

Daewung enjoys flaunting his new sword around and is dismayed when it loses its shine following his defeat at Bloodrain's hand, being very dramatic about it.

Although he has a job to fight dangerous villains, it’s not personal to him. Daewung is the first non-villain to cast doubt on the accusation that Driver might be the serial killer.

## Abilities

### Physical

Daewung is a highly trained psyker combatant who is experienced enough to mentor Uchan. He is able to coordinate well with Uchan and is shown to be an experienced swordsman who can contend with dangerous villains. He is fast as he is able to surprise an easygoing Cassian by working around Uchan's flames and slashing Cassian.

He is weaker and slower than his apprentice Uchan, as Uchan was able to outlast him while fighting Bloodrain.

### Mental

He is calm and rational, not losing focus in a fight but normally doesn't show this side of him. He loses focus however if Uchan does something wrong such as trying to use his flames while hostages are alive. Daewung may not seem like it but he is analytical as he remembers how Cassian faced him and Uchan, knowing that Cassian fought like a trained combatant unlike the typical Villain, and likely would have realised he fights suspiciously like that of a Psyker had Jiseon not interrupted his thoughts.

### Magic Points

He is a B ranked psyker. His magic power manifests as a yellow energy radiating off his sword and limbs when in combat.

### Northern Light (북두사인검 / 北斗四寅劍)

The Northern Light is a precious sword made with two top quality artificial magic crystals and is sharp enough to cut through villains and slice through Bloodrain's Blood Spear.

He claims to be able to hear his sword. Daewung wails that it's howl has disappeared after it's drained of its magic stones.

### Skills

As a knight class, Daewung's skill kit is heavily tied to his swordsmanship.

* Skill: Flying Sword. Daewung launches his sword.
* Skill: North Star. Daewung performs a brutal slash with his imbued sword.
1/2
#### North Star (北斗一閃/북두일섬)

By slashing downwards with the Northern Light, then to the side, Daewung is able to severely injure an opponent.

#### Flying Sword (飛劍/ 비검)

Daewung can throw his sword with deadly accuracy to cross gaps, and catch his weapon just as deftly.

## Trivia

Lee Daewung refers to Jiseon Ham as "seonbae-nim" in the original. This is used to refer to superiors very respectfully.
