Personality
With a forgotten past Li Jie views the world as a clean start. No longer burden by the ghost of his past he aims to be a positive model for those around him. He is light hearted, optimistic, and lives for the thrills of life; often praying to "Lady Luck" for her fortune. He pushes his life to it's absolute limits and some may even call him a gambler or adrenaline junkie. It is more than rare to see Li Jie in a mood that is anything less than excitable and sociable. If he ever gets to the point where he feels his mood will be affect he will reflect on his emotions and thoughts with heavy meditation and physical training. Apart from adrenaline Li Jie doesn't particularly care for anything in life, including materialistic things. His biggest flaw is his lack of purpose in life, often trying to fill the void he feels with any cheap thrill he can obtain.
History
One morning Li Jie woke up and his memories were all but faded. Without life, purpose, or a clue on who he was he began to wander the surrounding area until he came across Port Nyanzaru. immediately he took to the small city and considered it home. The void of his memories did not take long to settle in as something more than just a void. Becoming a negative cloud over his life he started to drown his sorrow and pain in alcohol. Once again Li Jie lost himself, although this time the hazed and drunken state haunted him for years to come.
Slowly the alcohol wasn't enough, his life became boring and repetitive. Drunken nights turned into fights, robbery, and other shenanigans which filled that void with a rush he couldn't explain. But again, it wasn't enough eventually. Port Nyanzaru offered events for the ones like him, two of which drove him with more adrenaline than he could imagine. Those were the races of Nyanzaru, which were done upon the backs of dinosaurs, and the fit pits; which were as their name suggested.
Gaining a name for himself he began to phase out drinking with the thrill of adrenaline in it's purest form, fearing for his own life. The dinosaurs were ruthless, slaying those that dared to try and ride them. The fighting pits just as much so, if your opponent didn't kill you, you would be sure to spend weeks, if not months, to recover. It was more than enough to take his mind off of his emptiness. Coin began to flow as his name began to grow and his skills in acrobatics as well as a warrior began to exceed him.
To ensure that he wouldn't once again stray down the path of drunkeness, he began to explore the jungles around Chult in search of clues with what money he received from his "hobbies". There was only one thing that he found that would lead as a clue to his past, an amulet, but nothing more. He spent months investigating where he awoke as well as miles around the forest, but it was to no avail.
It was in this time of investigation that he discovered a barrel of flying monkeys. Their natural curiosity lead them to develop a kinship with the Li Jie and he began to study them for the following months. In a way he was jealous of the beast; their care free life, their natural curiosity, and glee with the smallest things he taught or showed them. His view on life altered because of the flying monkeys, he began to shift his mentality and personality to match theirs. Soon it was more than the personality, it was their fighting style, their movements, and even the way they ate.
He spent three years with them before returning to Port Nyanzaru to once again indulge in his hobbies, all with the goal of collecting enough coin to travel across Faerûn in search for answers to his past. During his period of coin collection he began to favor the deity "Tymora" known as "Lady Luck" by the people of Nyanzaru. Although he did not particularly worship her, he did pray to her for good fortune or her favor before any of his races and bouts. After saving up enough gold to travel safely across the continent, he found himself along the Sword Coast in the city of Neverwinter.
