Description:
Eun Tae Lee also known as Vasco, is a supporting character in Lookism. He is a student in the architecture department at J High School and the leader of the Burn Knuckles.
Personality:
Even being stated by Jace, Euntae is known to have a unique personality, compared to others. Although he appears to look scary and menacing, Euntae is actually very pure-hearted and innocent. He cares deeply for those who get treated in an ill manner in society and risks his own life to protect them. Euntae believes that everyone should be treated fairly and the views of respect they achieve should be based on their actions, not on their looks. Euntae is also a strong-willed person, not afraid to keep trying his best to achieve his goals.
While he is a strong-minded and headstrong person, Euntae is surprisingly very sensitive and delicate whenever he is emotionally upset. Some examples are when he starts crying when girls bought other male students at the Auction but didn't want to buy him because they thought he looked too fearsome. Another moment when Euntae starts crying was when he said that people took him for a fool. Euntae is quite compassionate and appreciates the special bonds he has with his friends, especially Jace. Euntae also wants to help the less appreciated people in society become stronger so that they can defeat those who torment and oppress them.
Euntae seems to have a strong respect for teachers and higher authorities in general given as unlike other "bad guys" he meets he does look to Goo for his assistance in getting stronger. He also has respect for the mama bear that raised him in one Night arc and even says that he can't ever lose in respect to his master Brendak.
As the story progresses, Euntae has an increase in his desire to grow. Originally branching from an empathetic mindset, he expressed a sensibility to others situations. Believing that he should always save those who cannot fend for themselves and are weak, he ambitions to become a superhero for them, coming from his understanding of his experience in bullying and self-hatred. However, as result of his self-obsession with becoming a better person, Euntae transforms into believing anyone associated with wrongdoing is inherently bad, with no pity to understand their perspective. His mindset is revolutionized to become the 'villain' as of result. He states to Jake, "For me to beat the bad guys, I have to become one."
