Ship Leesoo


 * "I guess I haven't told you guys about my amazing killer-arts!!!"


 * - Leesoo to Hatsu and Anak

Ship Lee Soo (십이수, Shib Yisoo) is a Regular. He is relatively weak, possessing no special skills other than his ability to deduce. However, that being said, his ability of brain-power surpasses even those of Koon's. Nonetheless, he made it past most of the tests on the Second Floor and was assigned the Scout position.

Appearance & Personality
In Part I, Ship is a 'Gag character'.

Ship is a normal-looking person with dimples on his cheeks and close cropped hair. He is always wearing a purple jumpsuit.

He is a bit scared of all the really strong Regulars competing against him, but is quite enthusiastic about the tests (when he's not scared) and has shown strength in difficult times. He is also more loyal than most, as he has not shown any signs of wanting to betray his teammates yet. He is a fairly righteous man.

Ship also helps Koon devise strategies as per the Crown Game and the Final Examination, though Ship is always used as Koon's pawn.

Part II

Ship looks like he is wearing the same outfit as he did in Part I, however, with closer observation, his jacket now has a zipper in the front. In the Workshop Battle he wears a grey informal jacket with his hands often in his pockets. His face is also more angular and less spherical than when it appeared in part I

Evankhell's Hell
Ship turned up on the Second Floor with all the other Regulars. He explored the field around him, and then accidentally ran into Anak and Hatsu, who were fighting. He freaked out because of them, but managed to avoid being killed, and was going to run away when it was announced that the Regulars had to form teams. He was shocked that he would have to team up with two very powerful Regulars, and got scared about it, but realized he had no choice and approached them. They completely ignored him, which actually made him annoyed. He grabbed onto their shoulders as the timer went off, qualifying them as a "team".



Lero-ro's Test
He then tried to convince Anak and Hatsu that he was actually not useless, by saying he was trained in the "killer arts". He barely managed to get through Lero-Ro's Shinsoo barrier, with his face bloodied, However, he aced Yu Han Sung's door test, deducing the answer better than even Koon, in only about a minute. He was the only Regular to figure out the whole answer all on his own.

Crown Game
His team went into the Crown Game, to try and ascend to the next level early. Anak sat on the throne while he and Hatsu fought the attackers. Ship came up against Ho and Rinnen, and was able to hold then off for a little while despite being unarmed. However, when they attacked him in conjunction, they gained the upper hand, but Hatsu turned up and defeated both of them easily. He and Hatsu were then blasted away by Phonsekal Laure. Anak stopped attacking and jumped off the throne to make her bet with Baam, resulting in the team's disqualification. Ship watched the rest of the Crown Game from his team's cell.



Hide and Seek
He was then assigned the Scout position, and seeded first. He managed to get on Koon's "friend" list during training. In the Hide-and-Seek Test he was put on Team A, and used as bait to attract Quant. He managed to get Quant to drop his guard, but the Ranker proved to be tougher than expected, and the plan failed. Ship then teamed up with a few other Regulars to try and delay Quant, and showed courage in trying to fight him, but they were all easily blown away.

Submerged Fish
After the test, as Koon lamented their failure, Ship told him that they had done their best, and that Team B would probably fail as well. He then noticed that Laure had been holding a rude sign over his shoulder, and tried to kick him.

Last Examination
Ship did not reveal Koon's scheme to the others when Koon manipulated the others into helping Baam in the Submerged Fish Test because he sympathized with Baam. Later on in the test, he stood defensively over Anak when she was attacked by Lo Po Bia Ren after he led Ha Yuri Zahard to the scene. Ship was entrusted with the Wing Tree insignia by Yuri to give to Baam. After the test, he showed distress over Baam's death. He felt like he owed a debt to Baam and backed up Hatsu's and Koon's plan in helping Baam's wish: To get Rachel to reach the top, recruiting the others for the cause.

Tower of God: Part 2 - The Return of the Prince
In a spoiler posted by SIU, Koon spoke to him about his sadness over Baam's death. Koon suspects foul play during the test and wants revenge, stating how Ship and the others were tools for this. Unlike the others in the Part 1 team, only he and Koon are aware of the fact that Rachel has tricked them. This secret is kept only between him and Koon, as Koon stated that I don't want to ruin the team that Baam so wished to protect."''

It is hinted that when Koon split the team into Two, he put Ship in the Trailblazing team designed to attract attention. It is very possible that Ship is the leader of the attention drawing team, since both Princesses Anak and Androssi are on that team and they are unlikely listen to each other's orders, and Ship is the smartest.

Connecting Fences
Koon contacted Leesoo, telling him that Rachel, without a doubt, tricked them.

Epilogue, Path
Koon had just passed onto another floor, and broke the good news to Leesoo. Leesoo said that they tried the 30F test but failed. He also mentioned that they could only try once a year. As Androssi and Anak were arguing over a football game, Koon and Leesoo resolved to meet each other in the factory round

Bet
When the news that Koon had "died" reached Leesoo's team, he watched grimly. When he got the invitation to the factory round, he led the team out the door, telling them that they would find Jyu Viole Grace and crush him.

Workshop Battle
As Leesoo stared in awe at Archimedes, Hatsu slashed at the window in front of him, bemoaning Leesoo's descent into idiocy. That evening, he and his team had a live press conference in which he state that he wasn't worried about Jyu Viole Grace; however, Koon could see through his bluff.

One Shot, One Opportunity
He, Hatsu and Anak were running from their lodgings to the center of battle when Androssi appeared, carrying four regulars with her. They told Leesoo where the FUG had set up base, and the three of them left to attack. They put Anak up on the observatory, but this was just to gain time for their other teammates to get into position. Once this was done, Leesoo went with Vespa throught the sewers to the first floor. There, they met Yuto and he and Vespa worked together to almost defeat Yuto. However, this plan was foiled by Viole, who appeared in a nick of time.

Powers and Abilities
Excellent Deduction Skills: Although not all-around smart, Ship's deduction skills are excellent, even exceeding Koon's. Upon closer inspection, his intelligence stat is higher than that of your average Ranker.

Part 1
Baam: Leesoo and Baam are relatively good friends during Part 1. Like the other characters, he feels indebted to Baam after he changed the rules so that the entire team could pass.

Koon: Leesoo and Koon are on good terms with each other. As the two smartest people among the Regulars, they collaborated closely during the tests. Though Koon always have hidden plans on the agenda, Leesoo is sometimes capable of seeing through them.



Anak: Apart from Androssi, Leesoo seems to have the deepest relationship with Anak. Even though Anak hid the fact that she was the daughter of another Princess, he still trusted her.

Hatsu: Hatsu and Ship teamed up during the first test on 2F. Though they were shaky at first, the two became friends rather quickly. Hatsu at first found Ship annoying. Then he saved Ship during the Crown game. Later Ship helped Hatsu pass the Positions tests. Ship's friendly personality cooled down Hatsu's flaming one, in order to collect teammates for Scout position's friendship list homework assignment.

Black March: Anak thought that Ship was a handsome man, so she asked him to speak to the Black March, the March however disagreed giving violent electric shocks to Ship.

Part 2
Koon Agero Agnis: Ship and Koon are still on good terms with each other. Ship is the only person who Koon trusts to lead the other team and to share the secret of Rachel's betrayl with. Ship is seen sitting with Hatsu, Anak and other regulars from part 1.

Trivia

 * Ship says that he wants to climb to the top because of a promise to his friend.
 * Ship is surprisingly intuitive when it comes to people's motives and feelings. An example of this is when he knows Koon is bluffing.
