Here be my first char; his mother should follow in a bit, along with an explanation of sudden wealth and moving to rich-person land.

[indent]Renè is quite the tall individual, just like his mother – standing at 6'5, with a medium muscular build to his limbs and chest area; the guy works out now and again, but it's more for convenience than vanity. Things are easier when you're stronger and fitter. As for skin, it is smooth for the most part; naturally, a few scars from living a non-sheltered life, but nothing major marrs his dark brown, somewhat umber-toned skin. 

Renè has a handsome face, with full lips; well-defined cheekbones and eyebrows; and a smattering of stubble should he forget to shave every other morning (Which he does – frequently). Said face can usually be seen pulling emotive expressions now and again, in which case, is the most emotion he will profess in a situation. Otherwise, his dark chocolate eyes are somewhat hooded; eyelids lazy, oft hidden behind a cloud of cigarette smoke emanating from his mouth and nostrils. 

Should his black, dense, springy hair grow long enough (AKA. When he doesn't give in to his Mother's nagging to have it cut), he'll generally have it loose. It's got too much strength and a mind of it's own to be tied back, beyond perhaps a bandana or hairband pushing it away from his eyes. 

As for clothing style, it would be described as laid-back. Although never going as far as to wear something dirty or sweaty, Renè hasn't much care for clothing, nor brands – probably due to the fact he and his Mother didn't have an over-abundance of money when he was growing up. Also, because he couldn't give a damn about labels. Therefore, he just wears a lot of plain stuff; jeans, t-shirts, hoodies, jackets; all probably unbranded. The only one he has really taken to is converse; never owning more than two colours at a time, but he can usually be seen walking about in them. For colder weather he has heavier jackets, usually sheepskin; also some battered leather boots that he's had for years. [/indent]

[indent]Renè is a man of few words – not that he doesn't speak much, but when he does, such words are chosen carefully. Not that he isn't intelligent; her certainly is a bright fellow, always having done well in his classes regardless of the subject. He is no stranger to hard work, after all – he just prefers to not waste energy on pointless speeches. This often gives him a rather apathetic air... which, in most cases, isn’t incorrect. Renè picks and chooses only a select few things to waste his time and energy on; apathy msot likely occurs for other things. 

However, one should't assume Renè is uncaring in anything; for his true passions lay in the simplest, perhaps most important things of life; friendship, love, imagination, food, humour, music... the basics of a human's life. Most other things – politics, social norms or classes, religion – they don't bother him. Yeah, everyone's entitled to their opinion – but if you're going to hurt someone with it, keep it quiet man. Although it doesn’t surface very often, Renè does have his mother's temper. And it isn’t pleasant upon witnessing it. [/indent]

[indent]As far back as he can remember, Renè lived in France with his mother, and with no contact with any other extended family (Beyond his mother's close friends, who were often known to him as Aunts and Uncles despite the lack of blood relations). There was no contact from his Father, his grandparents, or the one Uncle he knew was related to him by blood – there were no ties to this side of his family. 

However, this rarely bothered him. In fact, nothing really bothered Renè throughout his life – he was a fairly apathetic child, just as he is apathetic in many things now. If someone were to tease of bully him in school, the offender would be confused by the lack of reaction from Renè; he saw no real threat, and any physical threats were met with a calm – but sturdy – punch to the face (or other more, delicate areas), and he was never teased after this. He felt no real need to continue animosity, just as he felt no real need to make fast friends. He made them anyway, regardless of the way he felt – there was something assuring in his constant state of calm that attracted his school-mates too him, for the most part. He didn't complain – Renè found a group just as relaxing as being alone to his own thoughts. If one of his friends suggested an after-school activity or sport to him, he'd always give it a try. Never really made a difference to him; particularly sports, but he was never one to shy away from trying new things. 

However, he did feel some sense of unease when being told he would be moving to America by his Mother. He'd never really heard favourable stories about the place – for a place known as "Land of the free", it had far too many restrictions and discrimination that held against that title. 

Still, it was his mother's wish, and so he complied – Renè had no reason to disagree with his mother, who had always endeavoured to do the very best for him, no matter the strain on herself. And so, he complied; moving to a strange place with strange ways – still unused to the sudden abundance of money and onslaught of fancy. He has enrolled at the local school, finishing out his very last year in compulsory schooling there; although other rules he still rarely adheres to. In France, he could smoke and drink as he liked; nor was there a curfew. It would not be uncommon to see him breaking said rules in Lakewood; not of a sense of rebellion, but of alienness. Such a constricted life is odd and unfamiliar to him. [/indent]

[indent]New student at the local school; is tempted to look for a job like he had back in France, as he's still unused to having such an abundance of money on hand. He'd prefer to earn it himself, like before. Still, his Mother insists he relax a bit and enjoy it while he can. [/indent]

[list] 
[*][b]Painting[/b] - A hobby he picked up from his mother; alongside enjoying the work of other artists throughout history, Renè dabbles in it himself. He'll say he's no Da Vinci, but he certainly has some modicum of talent with the brush – particularly in portraits. 

[*][b]Cooking[/b] - His mother worked a lot of hours, so Renè learned to cook at a very young age. Naturally, he started off with chips and spaghetti; simple recipes. Now he can knock up a decent dish with no trouble; and his desserts are divine. The souffle however... needs work.
 
[*][b]Smoking & Drinking[/b] - He'll freely admit they're more of an addiction than a hobby, but it's one he handles well. He doesn't get many negative emotions after being without either for long, but he would much prefer they stay in his life; regardless of America's silly rules about it. 

[*][b]Climbing[/b] - A wonderful way of keeping fit and retaining his strength; also, in the areas of nature he'll so often visit for climbing, he finds them to be isolated and peaceful. 

[*][b]Camping[/b] - Is there anything better than sleeping under the stars? He'd sleep out in his back garden just to look up at the beauty of the night sky and be among nature. Bugs don't bother him as much as it bothers other people... particularly in his neighbourhood. 

[*][b]Snakes[/b] - Well, the snakes themselves aren't a hobby, but looking after them is. A present from his mother to make his new life in America seem a bit better. 3 snakes; a Corn snake named Dewie; a Ball Python named Hazel; and a Burmese Python named Toulouse. Cute lil things, in his eyes.

[indent][b]Amèlie Reno[/b] – [i]Mother[/i] – He loves his Mother, and she loves him. They have a good, strong relationship, borne of years of hard work, both apart and together. She's strict when she needs to be, but always caring. There's nothing more to be said of it, really. [/indent]
