Ren

General Description
The Renegade (Ren for short) is a little on the short side for a dude and has an athletic, solid build. His hair is usually short, but will sometimes use his abilities to give himself short dreadlocks. In the winter months, his hair and facial hair turns white along with Cyrille's coat.

If he takes off his shirt (which is rare) he is completely ripped, and has particularly strong legs for running and climbing. He's also covered with scars, cuts, scrapes, road rashes and bruises from aforementioned activities. He has a few typical asian features such as narrow eyes with epicanthic folds and a narrower face. However, his most striking features is his nose - it's turned upward on an almost cartoony angle, giving him a piggish face.

Ren tends to dress in a jock-like fashion, usually wearing jerseys, sleeveless shirts, shorts (in cold weather) and has a fondness for soap shoes. He also uses many sports accessories like sweatbands.

He lives in Valnote with Grimlock.

Personality
Ren has a rather nasty, rude, loud and angry temperament. He seems to always be grumpy and disapproving and only smiles when he's doing something "extreme" or while delivering an insult. He does, however, treat some people (usually older or more skilled individuals) with respect and does have periods of time where he's serene. He's also a little neurotic and facilitates being a lazy slob and a an extreme sports nut. Most people assume Ren puts on a façade to keep people away from him socially, and it works. In short, he's entirely unpredictable and volatile, but usually unpleasant.

Despite his nasty habits, he can be a bit of a goofball, and his temper is easy to exploit, usually to comedic effect. And despite his attitude, he is rather intelligent and well-versed in health and pharmaceutical sciences.

Biography
Most of Ren's past is completely hidden. He just seemed to show up in Valnote one day and never left. Though a few people knew him when he was a child and his ties to a family company headed by his equally insane but intelligent father.

Most of his record has been wiped clean. In his late 20's, Ren met Cyrille and became permanently bonded to her. They seemed to have some adventures in her home world of Hell which included a romp through time. These "adventures" included a deal with Luxuria which resulted in Ren's biological daughter, Amy. Shortly after, he moved in with his roomie Grimlock to make the most messed up household of angry screaming gamer people.

Ren works as a pizza delivery boy (Cyrille takes on the shape of a wallaby during his work hours and is often stuffed in his backpack) and is well known for zooming around on a motor scooter or climbing to his deliveries. In his free time, he screams at video games on a joint channel for gaming, collects My Little Pony toys, and exercises.

Weaknesses and Powers
As the wielder of the Hellhound Gauntlet, Ren has a few abilities at his disposal that are best used for demon hunting. Cyrille can become a literal gauntlet on his right arm, and can morph into a few 'modes' at Ren's request. For more information on the Hellhound Gauntlet please visit Cyrille's page.


 * Hellhound's head, which is the default mode. It resembles a small, toothy demon head with hard, curled horns and many teeth. Ren can of course use this for biting and intimidation.
 * Claw gauntlet, which is a heavy, steel clawed gauntlet with large knuckles Ren can use for climbing and punching.
 * 'Pepper breath' as christened by Ren, is a cannon that opens up in the mouth of head mode - it fires a large, explosive blast of fire that's only really useable at close range.
 * 'The Razor Tongue' is a sword that also comes out of the head of the gauntlet, which has a waved blade resembling a Flammenschwert.

Ren without the gauntlet is still combat capable, and uses a form of martial arts only known to his family that incorporates a lot of acrobatic techniques and improvised weapon fighting. It resembles a mix of Zui Quan and Wing Chun.

Due to some incidents in his past, Ren has a self-hypnotic impulse that tends to be triggered when he's in a rage (usually, in a fight). He completely loses himself to almost bestial instinct and adrenaline. In this state, in his minds eye he believes he is some sort of lizard or monster and ferociously attacks at whatever set him off. It doesn't actually empower him in any way, but it makes him even more wild and crazy.

Trivia

 * His screen-name, R_Blitz, is short for Rainbow Blitz, comes from fan-made a male counterpart to Rainbow Dash, his favorite character in My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic. It was shortened to make the attachment to ponies less apparent.
 * His older screen-name, E_Matrix, is after Enzo Matrix of ReBoot, another show Ren is a huge fan of.
 * Ren is trilingual, able to speak Mandarin and Japanese.
 * Ren's personality and behavior is partially based on youtube users Barley and Egoraptor. (Grimlock is of course, based primarily on their counterparts, Spike and Jontron respectively).
 * Ren has very little hair beyond the hair on his head. His arms and legs are completely bare. This was probably caused by fire, but I'm not sure what. He hasn't told me.
