[b]Character name:[/b] [indent]Renin of the Rangers[/indent] [b]Character age:[/b] [indent]27[/indent] [b]Physical information:[/b] [indent][img]https://i.imgur.com/lL714V5.png[/img] Tall and reed-like, Renin is as swift as a hawk, with senses nearly as keen, or so it is said. However, like the hollow-boned bird, he is fragile if trouble catches up to him. He relies on his speed, agility and endurance, as well as his sharp scouting skills, to keep him out of trouble. If he does find himself in a physical confrontation, he is overpowered by mostly anything more dangerous than the average human, although he does carry a hunting knife as a last resort. Renin prefers to use his trusty composite bow or a long-range rifle before things can get close enough for that. Though he would be called beautiful in another place, in another time, in Myar Renin prefers to hide his pristine features beneath his hood--some consider him un-manly, even cowardly, for his ability to keep himself whole and unmarred despite numerous expeditions into the wastes. More than one fellow ranger resents him for the times when they had to confront threats more directly while Renin was able to flee or keep his distance and thus avoid injury. Yet there is also a grudging acknowledgment that he is a solid addition to any ranging party.[/indent] [b]Psychological information:[/b] [indent]Renin is known to be solitary and withdrawn, not necessarily anti-social, but rarely seeking out more company than comes to him by circumstance. He is calm, ruthless, and calculated in the field.... so long as the situation remains under control. The things he has seen in the wastes have stuck with him, and while they remain suppressed normally, extreme scenarios can bring those memories to the fore and cause Renin to panic, which usually results in him fleeing with abandon. Fortunately for him, all such incidents so far have been horror scenes from which none could blame him for escaping from, so he has never been disciplined for merely preserving his own life, but he lives with survivor's guilt all the same.[/indent] [b]Biography:[/b] [indent]Renin came to the hermit communities five years ago, remaining tight-lipped about his background other than to simply say that he was "from the wastes," that he had "seen things," and that he "was a survivor." He met and assisted a ranging party who were far from the mountains and running out of food, showing them how to flush out scrabble-legged waste moles to live on until they could make it back home. In exchange for his aid and in recognition of his talents, he was granted entrance and citizenship, upon which he immediately undertook the Path of the Ranger to which he was so clearly suited. Though he is not a great leader or a mighty warrior, Renin has always been a loyal ranger, and none have yet had any reason to doubt him despite his origins as an outsider. Renin still feels like an outsider to an extent which informs his tendency for social isolation. This was in turn be part of his motivation to volunteer for the mission, as he doesn't have a family or any close relations that he is parting with, and he knows there are some who would be happy to see him gone. Plus there is part of him that would legitimately rather go into space, where he might find something better, than to go into the wastes again.[/indent]
