▶ Character Name & Series. Ren Suzugamori, Cardfight!! Vanguard (specifically Vanguard G, the timeskippy sequel) ▶ Character Age. 23 ▶ Photo Reference.this but usually with black pants. Since it's kind of hard to see in smaller arts, I also like to note for anyone who looks closely at his face that his pupils are slit like a cat's, not round. ▶ Permissions.doot, this also includes his power permissions for aura reading and Psyqualia, his stupid convoluted psychic power that lets him basically drag people's minds/spirits into imaginationspace to do whatever he likes from letting them pat cool armoured dogs to leaving them in screaming agony without actually injuring their physical body. ▶ Personality Blurb. Described by one of his best friends as "capricious and delicate, as though he might break, but with a strong heart", Ren often comes off as a friendly, careless airhead who isn't really paying attention to anything at any given time and gets distracted at the drop of a hat. While this isn't necessarily false, it's an exaggeration of the nicer side of his personality, the less nice side being prone to manipulation, making people squirm for his amusement, and being worryingly perceptive and accurate about reading people. Despite being pretty shameless in his willingness to manipulate the people around him to varying degrees, Ren's actually a very loyal and protective person once he decides he likes someone, and occasions calling his friends out for engaging in dumb self-sacrificial heroics and the like. Of course, when he does the same thing it's entirely for his own personal enjoyment and he's totally willing to let the world collapse around him as long as he can get an entertaining challenge out of it, because clearly he's not the type for heroics. Those are cliched and he's having none of it, even if he also happens to be having none of the various equally cliched (in his opinion) villains who keep trying to destroy his world, because as far as he's concerned nobody's as good at the villain thing as he used to be. ▶ Desired CR. I'm open to a variety of things with Ren, since he's very friendly but also the kind of character who can grate on some people (and will likely intentionally grate on them if he notices he's rubbing them the wrong way...). I definitely want him out there meeting more new people, since he gets around a lot and he has a bit of a knack for identifying who's Good People and bringing them out of their shells, but I also want to strengthen current CR so he has more people he's actually willing to disclose personal things to to...some extent. He can be a bit cagey about that sort of thing. ▶ Offered CR. As mentioned, Ren has a knack for identifying the good-hearted, so I'm always up for him dragging good-hearted grumps out of their shells. He's generally good for dragging people into shenanigans, and makes for a good confidant as long as you don't mind the fact that he's the type to not waste any information he's given. He also has considerable experience with Weird Psychic Shenanigans, so that can be a good base for CR with other characters who have that sort of thing if they can get him to talk about it... ▶ Rooming Plans. Ren's currently living in a tiny apartment in Wyver proper with...his cat mostly. But he may or may not have suggested Aichi come and stay with him so he doesn't start hoarding cats or something. ▶ Game Plans. Ren's generally not too much the type to side heavily with a particular place, which I've been trying to reflect by geting all kinds of REP with him, but I do ultimately want him to end up with enough Wyver REP for their rewards. He's been very slowly trying not to fixate on his previous friends and focus on adapting/settling more into El Nysa as a home in the long term, though it'll probably help his general loneliness about his friends from home not being around to have another one awake now. ▶ Event Plans. SHIT'S GETTING REAL and I'm definitely going to throw Ren into an event role if I can, because this all sounds very interesting and also lbr he wants to Fight the storm for messing up his two favourite worlds and now this one. Since he lives in Wyver, I might dabble a little in the body horror part of the event there, and/or just give him a Bad Time with weird shadows/mutated versions of things he's familiar with from either Earth or Cray.
▶ Anything Else? don't worry his castmates can't make sense of him either
