Summary
Hei is a former assassin working for The Syndicate who employ contractors for various jobs, mostly assassination or undercover missions. Unlike other contractors, Hei doesn't need to pay remuneration for the use of his powers and is a skilled fighter in his own right, as he was feared as the black reaper even before he obtained his supernatural abilities.
Powers and Stats
Tier: 7-C, High 6-A with the Meteor Fragment
Name: Hei, the Black Reaper. Also known as BK-201, Li Shunsheng, and Lee Hyunsik

Classification: Half-Contractor and Assassin
Powers and abilities: Superhuman Physical Characteristics, Extremely skilled Hand-to-Hand combatant, Social Influencing, Skilled interrogator, Master at stealth, Analytical Prediction and Information Analysis (Hei focuses on gestures, eye movement, position of the center of gravity, light, shadow and sound to predict his opponents' movements flawlessly), Enhanced Senses (Contractors can see spirits and invisible whips), Attack Reflection (Reversed Harvest's Deconstruction ability back at him), Acrobatics (Has consistently showcased superb acrobatic prowess), Light Manipulation and Limited Radiation Manipulation (Contractors produce light and radiation whenever using their powers), Deconstruction, Matter Manipulation and Electricity Manipulation (Hei's true ability lies in his ability to control electrons. Unlike normal electricity, his isn't mere electromagnetic waves, being capable of altering substances on a quantum level, and can deconstruct matter into their base components. Hei is also capable of restarting his own heart with his electricity), Regeneration Negation (Hei can send violent electrical currents into his opponents body, fryng all of their electrons), Resistance to Matter Manipulation and Deconstruction (Hei's electricity can slow down the process of Deconstruction and interacted with Harvest, who can destroy electrons on several occasions), and Limited Resistance to Perception Manipulation (Broke out of Abigail's Perception Manipulation within a few moments when it should last for 5 minutes)
Attack Potency: Town level (Caused the Tokyo Explosion and can match those who can harm him. Stated to be amongst the most powerful of all known Contractors), Multi-Continent level with the Meteorite Fragment (Destroyed a large portion of South America), can also ignore durability in some ways
Speed: Peak Human with Subsonic reactions (Can dodge and deflect bullets. Notably backflipped away from a shotgun being shot point-blank)
Lifting Strength: Peak Human
Striking Strength: Town level
Durability: Town level (Can endure attacks from comparable opponents and can use his electricity on himself without any negative effects.), his Electrical Armor makes him difficult to directly interact with
Stamina: Above Average
Range: Standard Melee Range, Tens of Meters with his wired knife, Thousands of Kilometers with the Meteorite Fragment
Standard Equipment: A white mask with a purple lightning bolt over his right eye and a red slit for his mouth to hide features, multiple sword-breaker knives (Black knives with a slit down the middle of its length for catching enemy bladed weapons), steel wire (Often used in conjunction with his knives as a grappling tool, a conductor for his electrical discharge, and a garrote to choke targets) often being connected to his blades or ending in a carabiner, and his black trench coat that when used with his powers (And only his powers) becomes bulletproof.
Sometimes, he carries with him a collapsible crossbow carried in a satchel for firing his wire at long distances to aid in infiltrating a building. Also, he has a lie-detector sticker at the back of his neck during his time in PANDORA.
Intelligence: Genius in combat (Hei is a calculating assassin, and possesses a very pragmatic and resourceful intellect, often demonstrating a knack for improvisation during the heat of combat. Since Hei's contractor ability can only kill once in direct contact with the intended target, he often relies on preemptive tactics to gain the advantage: as evidenced by his gambit during his first fight with Wei where he feigned death of out sight only to appear later to ambush the adversary. His tactical unpredictability and resourcefulness coupled with his reflexes, makes him a daring foe. He even got the nickname Black Reaper for killing a lot of Contractors before receiving his abilities. He is skilled at taking on false identities and personas for his missions and day to day life, such as Li Shunsheng who people often could not see as a feared assassin due to his clumsy and awkward persona)
Weaknesses: Contrary to what people in-universe believe, Hei is not a true contractor, so unlike a real one who can only work rationally for the most of their life, Hei sometimes acts on his emotions, usually with regards to Yin, Amber, or his sister.
Notable Attacks/Techniques:
- Molecular/Electricity Manipulation: Hei possesses the ability to generate and discharge electricity through conductive media (i.e. he cannot release it through air or concrete) at sufficiently high amounts to kill grown men or short out a building's electrical systems. The power is more than simple electric shocks, as he can alter matter and transform fundamental particles on the quantum level. He is capable of special particle luminance, meaning he can change molecules similar to how humans are turned into contractors. This ability is also one of the most, if not the most powerful and coveted powers known as it is the only one capable of altering gate particles at will. This ability is not his own as he is just an ordinary human, but it was granted to him when his sister fused with him. While in possession of the Meteor Fragment, Hei's powers were amplified to the extent that he was able to destroy a large portion of South America almost effortlessly.
- Obeisance: None. Hei doesn't have an Obeisance, due to that he is an ordinary human who has fused with his sister, a Contractor.
