howling rabbit — Roleplayer Guild

;;ren and dylan.

Ren flicked her hair over her shoulder in a disgruntled manner. She was not enjoying this trip.

"What is this sh-"

Dylan suddenly appeared, headbutting the very centre of her back. Ren squealed and tripped, but an ice-cold hand grabbed her wrist. In her daze, Ren could hear Dylan laughing to himself.

"Watch your step, sweetie."

Ren snapped her head around, glaring daggers at the boy. He began to laugh again under his mask. There was no fazing the guardian, and Ren hated it.

A kind-faced woman appeared in front of the group disembarking the boat they'd taken to get to Sacred Hearts. Ren wasn't surprised about it being built on an island - guardians weren't exactly something the whole world should know about. The girl was, to say the least, uninterested in what the woman had to say, and took the opportunity to look around. The building was bigger than anything else Ren had seen; it was almost intimidating. Surrounding the building were grounds to match its size; sprawling green gardens and training fields, and beyond all that, a lush forest. "At least the school's decent," she mused. Ren stretched, still looking out over the scene, hissing in satisfaction as her back popped once, twice...

"Ren." Dylan cautiously tapped her shoulder.

"What do you want, asshole?"

"We're moving."

Ren jerked up and yelped, her muscles jamming like her printer back at home. She growled, sending Dylan a venomous look, and tried to catch up with the group. The woman - Ren assumed she was a teacher - was rambling again. The group seemed to be moving towards the entrance, a grand, pillared hood over some double doors. Ren felt a little sick at the sight of it, though she'd never admit it. Dylan whistled, casually readjusting his mask after catching up with her. His eyes darted around at the various faces - a lot of them certainly weren't from around here, but they looked like they knew what they were doing. "Ren, perhaps you should have listened to that teacher," he said, his eyebrows furrowing slightly.

 Ren looked at him, her expression one of laid-back arrogance. "She's no problem for us," she replied, a slight smirk tugging at her lips to hide her nerves. After a few seconds of silence between the two, Ren suddenly snarled and thumped Dylan's thin shoulder with her fist. "And you're fixing my back when we get to our dorms!"

Name: Ren Mori

Age: 17

Gender: Female

Birthplace: Ōkunoshima, Japan

Normal Appearance:
As above.

Appearance after Soul Link:
Half brown hair, half white - left side turns white. Her eyes also change from the blue-green to bright, glassy green, like her guardian's.

Personality:
Ren is very friendly and amiable towards most unless they immediately give off a bad impression. Ren is very aware of an individual's reputation with others and uses this to judge how she should act around them. She is charismatic in this way, able to adapt to any situation. Generally, Ren prefers to work on her own, but enjoys some down time with a friend or two.

Ren is verbally sympathetic, giving encouragement and advice where needed. She hates a sad atmosphere and does whatever she can to lift it, but this generally fails. She is a forward person and hates to manipulate others, which often makes her a trusted individual. However, Ren is not altruistic in the sense that she would most definitely not put her life on the line for others unless they are incredibly precious to her - self-preservation drives her.

Ren is a very dominant and aggressive person when challenged, but will always back down when the other is proven right. She feels her boundaries are to be protected and sticks true to her beliefs. She is not competitive, being pretty laid-back about most things. Whether Ren loses or wins, she pretends like it's nothing to her.

Ren is very thick-skinned. Any comment glances off her like a sword on steel. She has been known, though, to return these insults with threats issued in the strangest cold tone. She is not easily worried, brushing off responsibilities and procrastinating on her duties (to Dylan's dismay). She fluctuates between optimism and pessimism, but never has a level head. Surprisingly, Ren is modest, always aware when she is in the wrong.

Ren is very impulsive - she acts on pure instinct and has almost no technique in making decisions, especially when she is pressured into them. However, she is not adventurous, preferring to stick to old ways and tactics when she has more time to mull over a problem. The more time Ren has to think about something, the longer she will take to fully digest it - Ren is a nightmare when it comes down to making decisions quickly and accurately.

Despite being so laid-back and having a tendency to bite back, Ren is a hard worker when it comes down to proper work. She has no room for games in the workplace (once she's finally in it). Ren will run herself ragged in order to finish a job she has started - the problem is getting her to start it. Ren does not strive for success in the way most would think; all Ren needs in life is to enjoy herself and see that others are doing so also.

Ren is a person who enjoys herself in anything she does - the problem is getting her to try new things.

Other: Theme songs, yes please!
Dylan's theme. RenDylan theme, maybe battle music? I don't know.

-Guardian-

Name: Just call him Dylan.

Appearance: (Butterfly form)

(this is supposed to be green and white, by the way.)

Appearance: (True form)

Is usually seen wearing white jeans and a grey shirt, and hardly ever takes the mask off. He has a very youthful face, appearing around 16 physically.

Class: Caster.

Magic: A blend of light, healing and plants. He is strongest in the field of plant magic (no pun intended). During a fight, Dylan will fuse with Ren and pass his powers onto her. He is still in control of the magic that Ren will use, but Ren has to 'start the fire'.

Offensive - Dylan's magic is surprisingly offensive. He will usually use his plant magic, creating whips from vines, tying down opponents from a distance to gain time and advantage, and even setting traps to cripple enemies - think Pokemon's status moves/abilities like Leech Seed and Static. Rather than excelling in strength like other classes might, Dylan's magic seeks to bring others down to his comfort zone, the place where he is at his deadliest.

Defensive - Dylan's defenses need work on, but they're still strong and capable. Dylan is able to use magic both outside and inside Ren. This creates an interesting strategy. Since Dylan is more able to protect himself than Ren and his body as a guardian of his type can endure more, they will occasionally split in the middle of battle. Dylan will be left behind to block an attack, and Ren will take the opportunity to move out of range. Dylan relies on his traps and tricks to stop attacks from even reaching him and Ren, but when in serious danger he conjures a wall of plants and blinding light to stall enemies.

Healing - Dylan is weak in the healing field, but not incapable of healing broken bones, some deep gashes and when he has his energy, more serious things such as impalement and burns. Dylan is normally only capable of curing certain minor illnesses and broken bones and is also able to stem bleeding from wounds. He is unable to completely cure internal bleeding, excessive damage to the skull or life-threatening illnesses without the help of an expert, but through a mixture of offensive and defensive magic Dylan and Ren usually avoid injury.

Personality:

Dylan's drives are simple - to protect and teach his human, and to learn things in the process. Because of this, Dylan is very curious and open-minded. He is always trying to analyse whatever crosses his path and asks too many questions about why this happened, why is human is doing that etc. He tends to annoy, but delights in other people's anger unless it becomes too aggressive.

As I just mentioned, Dylan is annoying. He is very mischevious even with simple things such as ruffling hair, stealing small objects, and so on. He loves being a caster - he often wakes Ren up with surprise strobe lighting. Dylan is very much a trickster and uses his guardian abilities to his advantage in his quest to thoroughly ruffle everyone's feathers. The general rule is this - if you see Dylan with a grin, don't turn your back on him.

Dylan doesn't speak much to anyone outside Ren, especially other humans. He is in no way shy or lacking confidence - in fact, he has too much - but he believes his job is his own responsibility and that he should be able to handle it on his own. He also finds it very difficult to approach strangers and start up conversation, as he's never really indulged in much other than the teaching of whichever human he has been assigned to. In other words, he's too caught up in his job.

Dylan puts his trust in his human and expects that trust to be returned. He is, however, very suspicious and will notice even the smallest change in the atmosphere, person or environment. He is in no way verbally sympathetic, but will often show sympathy through simple gestures - a small gift, a brush of the hand, perhaps even a brief hug. He is never straightforward about what he is feeling, but he wants to make it known.

Dylan pushes to be more dominant and asserts himself often. He does not stand for being pushed around by others, especially humans. He refrains from lashing out at other humans, but doesn't hold back when it comes to Ren. He is very possessive and defensive, doing whatever he can to keep his human from harm. what a gentleman ;) He respects other guardians and the few humans who gain his trust and expects that respect to be returned in equal value.

Dylan is sensitive, but always succeeds in hiding it. He hates to share his problems and thrust them upon others - he tries to be dependent only on himself. He is easily stressed, worrying mostly about his human and what lessons he is supposed to be teaching. When in a stressed or upset state, Dylan is very hostile and defensive, but normally he's relaxed about his personal boundaries. He is a realist, looking at the world from a level scale. Dylan is modest in the presence of his betters, but boasts about his skill with disliked individuals. Thus, he can appear quite arrogant to some peers.

Dylan is very cautious and always plans out his actions. He worries that he is too decisive and habitual, but never tries to break past his comfort zone. Dylan is very much someone who is comfortable with what they can certainly achieve, rather than what they could achieve if they pushed themselves. He is very aware of the consequences of his actions but really prefers not to think about them.

Due to his confidence in his field, Dylan is very orderly and organised in the way he goes about doing his job - apart from combat. Dylan finds combat almost terrifying and would rather avoid it. However, he feels he has a sense of duty and never refuses a task. Dylan is usually very self-disciplined unless, as mentioned above, he is in his mischevious mood.

All in all, Dylan is a serious and caring person. He can be frail in his decisions and let his emotions take over, and although it is a rare sight, he never forgets to smile.
