A black leather frock coat pulled tightly against his torso, a deep purple tie and vest just visible beneath his neckline. Dark grey slacks cover his legs. A scar works it's way down over his face, just missing a half closed eye. A Ben Hogan hat atop his head, looking a bit too informal for the rest of his attire. A fencing saber strapped to his left side, this time accompanied by a MP-446 Viking, 18 rounds per magazine chambered in 9x19mm rounds attached to his right hip, hidden under the coat. A dark leather glove covers his right hand, the left ornate with various scars. A small ukulele slung over his shoulder, strapped to his back.

Will happily manipulate individuals to his own gain. Cares not for overarching ideas of good or evil. Is only motivated for personal gain. While extremely charismatic and likable, most individuals begin to sense something slightly off concerning him after an extended period of time. Backstory: Deciding to make his own fortune instead of staying in his village, Renault set off to discover his own path as a bard. Quickly realizing he had a magical talent associated with music he sought to develop it further. In hopes of pushing his talents to greater heights he travelled to a distant mountain that was said to be home to a talented sage. He arrived, set up camp at the base of the mountain, and then remembered waking up three months later, magical talents greatly improved and a painfully pulsating pentagram carved rather harshly into his right hand. To make matters worse, before he even had a chance to understand the new magics entrusted to him the nation of Chou suddenly transformed into Caramea. Shock at the lack of magic, and fear for his possible demise and persecution, Renault became a bit more cautious... that is, until he realized that if everyone but him were able to use magic, he could blatantly use his music to his own advantage. Thus he set off, working to gain a small nest egg via manipulation and magic, hoping to get enough cash to live in decent standing, quietly, away from this new and rather frightening world wiped blank. EDIT: Didn't realize that this was a Modern Era Fantasy Setting :P Just making addendum to the appearance: i.e. Modern Dress, Handgun, not futuristic.
