Canon Point: End of Advent Children


Gender & Sex: Male x 2


Age: Over 21. He’s been seen drinking, but no actual age is given. My assumption is that he's between 21 and 26.


Birthdate/Sign: November 23rd – Sagittarius. Choosing a sign for a character without a given birth date can be rather complicated. Their traits can be spread out through many different signs and narrowing it takes quite a bit of explanation. In the end, Sagittarius won out over the other signs. Please note that his birthday is on the cusp of Sagittarius and Scorpio.


The Sagittarian can be extremely impulsive. If you were to line people on top of a cliff, the Sagittarian would be the first one to jump to their doom. When you first face Reno in battle it is during the incident at Sector 7. Without a second though, Reno jumps from the Sector 7 disk onto a helicopter hovering somewhere below. In other words, he’s got some major cojones.


Sagittarians tend to be honest and straightforward as well. As such, they also end up being a bit tactless. Quite frankly, Reno has a mouth on him and he’s not afraid to tell someone where they can go, regardless of who they are. In general Sagittarians are good humored. Reno is known to enjoy a good drink after work, even quipping at Shinra soldier “Just lookin’ at you is making me sober.”


As a Sagittarian Reno is fiercely loyal and reliable and would rarely betray anyone’s trust. He is so loyal that he even puts his own feelings and his quarrel with Cloud to the side in order to find Elena (and Yuffie, but who cares about her?). He even asks Corneo why he thought that the Turks would team up with AVALANCE. He gives the man three choices: because we’re clueless, because we knew we would die or because we knew we would win. When Corneo guesses that it’s because they knew they would win, Reno puts the full weight of his foot onto the man’s hand (he was hanging on desperately to keep from falling to his death), stating that he was wrong. The weight of his foot forces Corneo to let go with Reno stating that the correct answer was “because it’s our job.”


Tattoo: The bottom of the tattoo sits on his hip and then runs six inches up his right side.


Suitability: N/A


Power: Hitting people in the face with his rod, that’s ability. He’s quick and very agile, but outside of that there’s nothing else to him. No laser beam eyes or super strength. His power in Zodion would be Fire Manipulation.


Personality: What makes up a Reno cocktail?

First, we have a quarter ounce of impulsiveness. At times he seems like he no semblance of tact or a brain at all. Though, really that would be a mistake. As long as it’s not during something important, he could care less if people think that he’s an idiot. Even though he’s impulsive, when it comes to his job he can be deadly serious. There are reasons he’s a Turk, and there are reasons he works so close to Rufus. If he was an idiot or he couldn’t do his job, would he be one of the people that stand so close to the most powerful man in Shinra?


Now, we have to mix in an ounce of being social. Of course, that’s not to say that he’ll be your best friend in a matter of moments, no he knows better than that. But, he can be social and decently easy to friend, he finds it easy to get along with most people (even if he doesn’t like them per say). He enjoys pushing buttons and antagonizing people (and he’s damn good at it, perhaps because he’s just intuitive or maybe it’s because he’s naturally an asshole). A prime example of this is when he refers to Jenova as "mother schmother." The comment designed to enrage both Loz and Yazoo.


Now, we must drop in a few ice cubes, because Reno isn’t all puppies and butterflies. Yes, Reno can be friendly, he can be social, and he can more than likely be a sexual creature (I find it important to mention that, considering the premise of the game.), he can also be cold. An example of his cold nature easily comes out when it comes to his job. In fact, he caused Corneo's death by crushing the man's fingers as he held onto a ledge. He had absolutely no qualms about doing it and did not show an ounce of remorse over the situation. He doesn’t think he’s better than anyone (considering that it’s common belief that he came from a lower class), he simply finds many people obnoxious. A person has to be made of a certain cloth ( or simply be interesting enough ) to get past the you’re annoying, and I don’t really like you phase and into the I might actually give a damn if you jump off that cliff level. As said before, he’s impulsive, and that goes on down to how he treats people. He’s quick to be friendly, but just as quick to be distant.


Now we rim the glass with the fact that he doesn’t do personal problems. That’s not to say that he doesn’t have them, he knows he has them he just simply doesn’t want to deal with them. It doesn’t fit the image he has for himself, and the pride he has in the person he is. Of course, don’t expect him to go spilling what’s wrong with him, that just wouldn’t fit anything about him; he’d rather push forward with his chin held a high and cocky smile on his face, than come off as a depressed emo kid who wants to cut himself at midnight.


And the cherry on top, is the fact that he both has a temper and is laid back. It’s a weird combination really, but it’s how this man rolls. He tries to appear laid back as much as possible (honestly, he can be so laid back that people may think he’s in a coma), but if something bugs him or gets under his skin, his temperature can be quick to rise. Of course, he’s smart enough to try and take a break and calm himself down, but a lot of the time his impulsive nature kicks in and he runs in with guns blazing.


✖ SAMPLES:
"Zodion" First Person Network Entry:
[The camera pans to the redhead and he’s simply shaking his head and frowning. He doesn’t like the idea of being kidnapped, even if it’s to have sex. A guy has to have his limits after all. ]

Name’s Reno, of the Turks. Look, I don’t know what the hell is going on here, but it is seriously twisted, yo. I’m normally a pretty laid back guy, but this is completely ridiculous. So, someone can tell me which way the exit is and I’ll be merrily on my way.

And before I forget... [ He lifts up his shirt a bit, turning his right side to the camera. ]

Can someone explain this to me? I don't hate tattoos or anything. But, I like to be awake when I get them, yo.





"Zodionlogs" Third-Person Prose Entry: Bars were fucking awesome, that was all there was to it. There was nothing like heading to one after a long day at work and drinking until you didn’t have a care in the world. Unfortunately, it took Reno quite a long time to get to the point of needing to be carried out of the bar. Fortunately, the red head had managed to do just that.

Of course, once he had done that there was the entire walk of shame home, which really was more of a stumble down the street until he made it back to his apartment. He really wished Rude would have come with him this time. At least that way he could have used the larger man as his personal taxi. He knew that Rude wasn’t exactly fond of some of his drunken antics, but they were friends and friends dealt with all of the nonsense.

Fumbling with his keys, the Turk finally opened his apartment’s door. When he got there, he didn’t remember, but at least he was home. Pigsty sweet Pigsty, he really needed to spend his next day off cleaning. Would he actually spend the time cleaning? That was a snowball’s chance in hell on that one.

But, what was more important was trying to make his way to his bedroom. The bed seemed farther and farther away. In the end it was time for plan B, the couch. Sure, it was old and slightly lumpy, but it was better than sleeping on the floor. Toeing off his shoes, Reno stumbled his way to the couch before simply collapsing onto it and promptly, in his words, passing the fuck out.

His sleep was interrupted at some point during the night by an odd light streaming in through the window. At least, he thought it was the window. Moaning, he opened his eyes and just stared. “Lifestream? The hell?”

This had to be a dream; there was no other answer to it. There was one good thing about dreams, you could do things like fly and apparently find small boxes of treasures. “Sure, I’ll play along, yo.”

Crossing the threshold, Reno took up the box and started to shake it. It only lasted a few moments when the pain hit him. It was like he was being burned by a thousand needles. The pain was only half the problem, a quarter of it even. The water that was suddenly surrounding him was worse. Being in a little pain was nothing when you were trapped by giant water fountains.

Grumbling he turned to the water and his jaw went slacked. Now, he knew he wasn’t naked when he went to bed, and normally he didn’t dream about being naked alone. So, what the hell was really going on? And to top of the whole situation he had a rather large tattoo on his right side, which definitely wasn’t there earlier that night.

“I’m swearing off whiskey. This dream is shit.”

Turning back to the box, curiosity got the better of him and he flipped the top open and reached inside and pulled out the phone. Well, at least his dreams had some decent technology in them. Maybe he could call a psychiatrist with it. And finally there was the letter, the glorious letter that explained all of his troubles.

“I’m in a porno.” Sure, it seemed like it was thinly veiled behind attempts of saving the world. But, really who the hell saved the world with sex?
