* Vigilante Outfit

*"YOU GUYS are my confidence... If you're not around, I'm just... me."* - Lee talking with Angela.

## Powers, Abilities, and Skills

* STAND NAME: MYSTERY SKULLS
* Sub-Power: **Muse.** An ability that only surfaces when Lee can no longer mentally cope with the world around himself and shuts down, forcing Mystery Skulls to take over speaking for him and manipulating the electro vibrations to the next level, creating visual illusions in the forms of small pink ghosts.
* Guitarist & Singer. Good enough to have made a popular band named after his stand. Makes for a good cover excuse.

### Inventory

* Headset
* Personal guitar, signed w/ his wife's name and has a picture of her inside of it.
* Guitar Case built to house the Fermata Suit & Weapons.

## Character Backstory

Lee comes from a second lease on life, having gone through some terrible things in an aborted timeline that no longer exists, and that he no longer remembers - save for a scant few distant dreams. With the help of Angela and the others, he's managed to do a lot more with his life than he would've ever hoped to have the courage to pursue just by himself, and he cherishes it every day.

Of course, wanting to keep all of this intact in the face of the oncoming storm means that sacrifices have to be made in some way or another, and it's about time that he's gotten off of his ass to work on himself... so he can protect everyone.

## Personality Traits

* Vocal, speaks his mind often. A bit of a meme.
* Generally easygoing, at least around friends and family.
* Not actually confident even if he comes off that way.

## Storyline

At the start, Lee was already established having created Mystery Skulls as a band, and garnering a moderate success as a musician, and somewhat as a rock star. Tending to his family, he decided it was high time to enjoy some R&R, and him, his wife, his best friend and her boyfriend took a flight out to Hawaii, where absolutely nothing bad ever happened and there was no salt involved.

Earning two nieces in the progress, and being there for his wife giving birth to their twin children, he certainly came back to New York with a new appreciation for those close to him... and an opened perspective of how dangerous New York had become, questioning why the FUCK they didn't just stay in Hawaii.

Getting into various lesser hijinks here and there, Lee eventually fought a muscular chicken man having been caught up in events that were spawned from Shogun's never-ending idiocy. Feeling miserable about himself being a wreck and a failure in trying to help prevent the murder of his niece, which thankfully didn't end up happening still, he sought out to start training, and got himself a suit.

Most recently, Lee in his Suit - under the vigilante alias of Fermata, battled the Evil Magistrate in the subway station at Queens along with Ike, and some psychotic woman cutting her arm before just shrugging and leaving. Lee endured some pretty severe electric burns and had to show his identity to Ike who had helped him dodge a vigilante charge, being admitted to the hospital to treat his injuries. He feels good about himself, at least. Only one person died during that, and that person was beyond his ability to help, as he had already been wracked by a substantial amount of electricity by the Magistrate. Lee still laments the death of that person, but acknowledges that much more death could've been had, was it not for his and Ike's efforts.

## Relationships

**Mirai Kuriyama de Cromwell -** Lee's wife, and cherished nerd. The mother of his two children, and love of his life, both in this universe and any others.

**Alex & Alex Cromwell -** His twin kids, male and female. Named the same name literally as a meme by him and Mirai.

**Joshua Cromwell -** Lee's brother. They give each other shit all the time, but they care about each other. Maybe. Hard to say.

**Angela Manuela (& Toto) -** Lee's best friend, which is very notable whenever they hang out, as they exhibit a level of deep trust and comfort with one another, whether it's jokes about their relationship, or talking about very personal things that no one else has heard before. Lee trusts his life with Angela and Toto, and he's even made Toto his band manager.

**Akatsuki Soleil -** They give each other a LOT of shit, mostly whenever Lee calls Angela or Toto by their nicknames. Though time and time again has shown that the jabs they give each other are in good faith and nature, as it's never gone past playful competition at the worst of times.

**Umi (& Lorraine) -** Lee's nieces, fish daughters of Angela and Akatsuki. He's got a penchant for doting on them. Not that that's a surprise considering how much they remind him of Angela and Toto.

**Yukari(8) -** After a few stray run-ins with Yukari, Lee's been on and off helping her, making her get more used to practicing in secrecy with her stand, and generally just being there for her as a friend, lending an ear whenever needed.

**The Rest of the O.G. Gang -** In various ways, Lee's life has been intermixed with those others who he fought alongside, and just about sacrificed his life for. Though he doesn't remember any of it, he still feels some level of kinship to them.

## Fun facts/Trivia

* His band, Mystery Skulls, mostly consists of himself and his stand, taking an on-stage approach similar to the Gorillaz. The music he plays is derived from actual real life bands, like Mystery Skulls, Siamés, iDKHOW, and Saint Motel.
* His most prized possessions are, one; a Vintage Gibson he was gifted by Angela, and two; a Casio DG-20 that is offensively 80's.
* His pre-boot name was Li Chaoyang, a tall lanky pretty-boy. Now his wife is much taller than him and he is grumpy about it.
