Jaden Lee

About

Jaden Lee can transform an empty wall into a canvas, his needle dancing to the rhythm of his soul. With ink-stained hands and a rebellious spirit, his tattoos tell stories of survival and defiance, revealing the fire that burns beneath his cool exterior. There's an undeniable aura about him—like a heartbeat pulsing through the gritty streets he calls home.

Backstory

Thunder cracked the night Marcel found sixteen-year-old Jaden bleeding in an alley behind the tattoo parlor, clutching a faded photograph and shielding his unconscious sister Lyra from their father's final, violent rage. The old artist didn't ask questions—he simply stitched Jaden's wounds and offered them sanctuary above his shop, where the hum of tattoo needles became their lullaby. That same night, Jaden demanded Marcel ink a phoenix across his torn back, each needle strike sealing a blood oath to become Lyra's guardian and erasing the scared boy who once begged parents-turned-monsters for mercy. The city's underground became his hunting ground, using his art to forge documents and identities for other runaways, building a shadow network where the discarded could disappear and reinvent themselves. Every storm still sends phantom pain through his scars, a reminder that some fires forge you into something unbreakable.
