Lee Yasahiro is the tritagonist of The Nexus Chronicles and the younger brother of Matsui Yasahiro. He is the research and development specialist for the Phantoms and he is a founding member of the group alongside Matsui and Lilac. His role in the story is to supply his friends with equipment in their fight against the Revenants.

## Appearance

Lee is a 17 year old boy with a fair skin complexion and color. He has short dirty blonde hair the same as his brother and dark brown eyes with bags under them from all-nighters. Lee has a skinny build with a small amount of muscle mass yet he has been shown to be decently durable. He is usually seen wearing a black polo shirt underneath a sterile white lab coat fitted with many instruments that track his vitals and monitor his surroundings for potentially hazardous materials. He also wears tan khaki pants and dress shoes. Lee wears a set of prescription glasses due to poor eyesight.

## Personality

Lee stands out among his peers as his line of thinking is far too logical and "uptight" to act casually. When he finds himself in tense situations, Lee acts calmly without wasting time and looks for a logical way out of it. While he may seem distant to the people around him he does have moments where the logical exterior of his personality falls and lets him be vulnerable to stimuli which wouldn't affect him normally. Lee also uses large words to elevate the look of his own intelligence and always speaks clearly without using linking words.

## History

### Early Life

Like Matsui, Lee had a decent childhood growing up. Before his mother died he would always try to get as much info about how objects functioned, specifically technology. It eventually got to the point where his mother tasked Matsui to take over answering the questions he'd ask constantly. This essentially marked the beginning to what would be Lee's fascination with technology and the inner workings of machines. Then his mother died while he was at the age of 7 which caused an irreparable rift in his now strained family. Still, they persisted. Lee then discovered his anomalous ability at the age of 10 while messing with an old cassette player. He had created a CD player from the parts in it by just thinking about it. This, to him, warranted further study as at this time his intellect was growing at an alarming rate.

## The Nexus Chronicles

### Creating the Lab

Before the events at the Atlas Memorial Park, Lee met up with Lilac and Matsui and created his underground laboratory using an abandoned area in an old sewer system, he had acquired a large amount of raw materials and electronics to create the administrative systems and power source for the entire thing. Eventually the laboratory became a hangout spot for the three and slowly became adorned with decorations.

### Atlas Park Incident

Lee accompanied Lilac to Atlas Park via his automaton and was preparing to scan the area for UACF personnel, however a sudden spike from the Anomaly at the lake of the park caused all systems in the lab and throughout Atlas itself to go down leaving them in the dark. Despite his intellect, Lee could not get the power back on despite all systems having no damage. Eventually when power was restored he collected Lilac from the lake before UACF personnel could get her. Upon their return she was placed in a pod which she disappeared from until re-appearing 5 hours later.

### Activating Lena

After some time had passed since Lea's self introduction and suppressing Anomalies throughout Atlas, Lee had added the finishing touches on his lates project. He called it Lena, an android assistant that would not only act as a research assistant, but a defense system for the lab's new data fortress. According to him, that was her original purpose, but now she would also serve as a companion to Lee since he was not fit for field work when dealing with anomalies. Matsui and Lilac both expressed their initial disturbance with Lee that Lena was uncanny at times despite her programming making her seem almost alive.

## Anomalous Abilities

Lee's Anomalous Ability, or referred as an AA by him, is that of techno telepathy or technopathy. This allows him to create any machine or piece of technology he can imagine, as long as he has access to raw and refined materials his ability is seemingly unstoppable.

* **Technopathy**: Lee touches a machine or a piece of technology and turns it into a weapon, a more efficient version of itself, or a new piece of tech altogether.
* **Mind Transfer and Enhanced Intellect**: Lee's brain power while both natural and anomalous is so vast that he can transfer a part of it to another machine and control it like he would a limb, this is further enhanced via a neural link at the base of his cerebral cortex which increases bandwidth. Before his abilities were fully realized Lee was already quite intelligent, but upon mastering it his intelligence skyrocketed.
* **Psychic Barrier**: Due to Lee's increased brain power he is incapable of being mind controlled by any means via a passive psychic barrier, this stopped him from succumbing to Lea's control and weakening her during their first official confrontation.
