Personality description: Sly and disingenuious, Lee Know never lets others see his true emotions. He hides his darkness under subtle flirtations and cheeky humour. He makes a good first impression and his easy to get along with at first, but he always keeps his friends at arms length apart for fear of them seeing who he truly is. Lee Know is good at speaking when it comes to clear and rehearsed lines, first meetings, small talk, all of that is no struggle for him. What gives him pause is the deeper conversations and those moments when others want to open up to him. Lee Know will listen to someone's troubles, but on the inside he's terrified of getting too close to someone. He holds a dark well of memories in his heart and would rather die than let someone in.

Lee Know is a great liar, although that has gotten him into more than a few issues with others in the past. Lee Know has no limits on what he can lie about, whether it's why he was late on assignments or about his past. He sees social interactions as games and lying as just one of the strategies. He doesn't care too much of the consequences or 'hurting others'. However all of his games and tricks cannot sustain him forever and he knows that. Lee Know is a man who has spent nearly a century running from his own past and messing around as if that would stop the inevitable loneliness. The worst part about it is he had never formed any substantial relationships throughout his life so even if he was to stop his games and tricks there is no one he could turn to.

Despite his sneaky and cunning nature, Lee Know does not like to be on the receiving end of such actions. He dislikes people who try to manipulate him or play games with him. He likes to be the one in control of situations and when he can't pinpoint someone else's motives. Due to his poor skills with empathy he often grows paranoid of others, which is also why he struggles with relationships of any kind. 

♚ // Character ; Powers

Magical Powers: Mirror walking, manipulating reflections, can project any image of himself he wants when seen in mirrors although if he steps out of the mirror his true image is revealed

Non-magical Powers: Dancing, singing, physical strength

Weaknesses:

Bright lights: Under bright lights he struggles to concentrate and is prone to headaches. 

Things that require high dexterity: This includes having to hold weapons or other items. This is due to the scarring on his palms that prevents him from properly closing his hands around things. This also manifests itself in simply clumsiness like dropping objects.

Empathy: His biggest struggle is genuine empathy as Lee Know is not a very genuine person himself. He fails to understand the feelings of others and most importantly the repercussions of his actions and how they affect those around him.

At least three, Explain them in one or two sentences.

Background: 

TW: mention of injury, blood, and there's murder

On a rainy night, alone in his home, a man grieved the tragic loss of his first love, Lee Minho. Every night he would talk to the mirror and tell it all the things he wished he could have said to his beloved. From the empty void of the mirror realm appeared Lee Know who was instantly draw to the cries of the human. At first he was just a shadow, but slowly as the human poured his heart out, Lee Know shaped and molded himself in the image of the human's dead lover. Like clockwork, every night the human would call Lee Know's name in the mirror and see his beloved staring right back at him. The human was none the wiser to the supernatural abilities of his mirror lover, and thought this was a divine experience. Lee Know would smile when the human smiled, look sad when he poured his heart out, and most importantly, filled the void in the human's heart. It wasn't until a few years into their regular meetings that Lee Know attempted to reach out to the man and give him something more, something beyond just a pretty face in the mirror. Unfortunately the human did not respond well to this advancement and rushed out of the room. Lee Know spent the next few months alone and confused, abandoned, but for what? Did the human only want a silent lover? Did he discover that his grief had created not his dead lover-- but a being from beyond the mortal realm?

When the human returned, he called out to Lee Know and asked if he was real. Lee Know feared abandonment again so he did not speak nor did he reach out. Their relationship continued as usual, with Lee Know being the silent face in the mirror. He listened to the human's woes and offered him compassion in silence. Their relationship would go on to last years more. Lee Know saw the human age, get his first promotion, and soon go on to have a successful career as a salesman. Lee Know was still unaware of the true extent of his powers or what wonders the human world held. One day during one of their regular meetings, the human told Lee Know that he had found someone at work he really liked and that it was thanks to Lee Know that he found the strength to fall in love again. Upon hearing this Lee Know felt scared and confused, he didn't want to think about the only person he had loved to love someone else. He kept his silence though, for fear that if he were to try and reach out again, the human would not return.

And so days went by and Lee Know watched the human and his new lover develop their relationship. It didn't take long for Lee Know to feel jealousy and spite towards the new man as he felt as if he was quickly forgotten. Lee Know and the human's communications became less frequent, but that didn't mean he wasn't watching. He saw everything; the fights, the passionate moments the two shared in private, the cute dinners they had after work. It got to the point where Lee Know couldn't take it anymore and he knew he had to do something. 

So on one evening, Lee Know ventured outside of the mirror realm and crept across the floor and towards the edge of the bed where the sleeping couple lay. He crept up to his target and wrapped his fingers around his neck-- but his movements woke both men up and the human whom he loved so dearly pushed him off the bed and the three began a fierce brawl. The human called Lee Know a demon, a poltergeist, every name he could think of. Lee Know knew he was outmatched, two to one, and he tried to make his way back to his mirror, back to safety. But before he could reach it, the human threw a lamp at the mirror, shattering it completely. Lee Know grabbed at the shards of glass, trying to piece them together, desperate to just go back home. Blood covered the floor as Lee Know struggled against the two humans. Eventually Lee know grabbed a large shard and stabbed the human that made his existence possible. Quickly realising what he had done, Lee Know rushed out of the room, heading towards the washroom that he knew had a mirror. Unfortunately the second human was in pursuit, wanting to avenge his fallen partner. Lee Know somehow made it through the mirror of the washroom-- where the human could not follow.

The aftermath of that day played out just as anyone would expect. An investigation squad appeared to examine the crime scene. Although the human's partner spoke of the 'man in the mirror' the cops did not buy it and in the end, he was the one charged for his partner's murder. Lee Know was filled with anger and regret from that day, which also prompted his name change to Lee Know, for he never wanted to hear anyone call him Lee Minho again. Lee Know existence became a hollow one from that day forward. Too afraid to get close to humans again, he decided to tease them instead. He'd appear in people's mirrors to scare them, sometimes he would watch people as they slept. He especially enjoyed seeing happy couples and scaring them with odd noises or frightening growling noises. Lee Know explored his powers as a mirrorwalker a little more as well, becoming adept at finding places with mirrors to peer into. He especially loved abandoned houses, those were his favourite places.

Although he didn't have many relationships to speak of, Lee Know felt solace in the arts. Out of all the people, artists were the most open to his presence. He was the muse for a number of painters and artisans as well as a few dancers who found the shadow man from the mirror enchanting. He learned a variety of artistic skills from people from around Korea and Russia, the two places he travelled the most in his nearly century long existence. His reason for enrolling in Insolitus Academy was for arts, but being around fellow mythical creatures was also a bonus. Lee Know had terrorised humans most of his life, he was looking forward to learning about other creatures aside from his fellow mirrorwalkers.
