A near-human fox demon who's looking for a new friend. He can be sweet and gentle, or clingy and volatile. He's got some skeletons in his closet. ## Personality Ren's natural features are simple shades of orange, white and a dull black at the top of his ears as well as his rather well-cared for tail. This said tail also has a bit of white at the end, something commonly seen amongst most fox-rooted characters. Similar to his fur color, Ren has short ginger hair, some parts of the hair brushing against his cheeks. His side and back hairs smooth out, and point outwards his forehead hair. During his lifetime with Strade, he would only wear a white tank top with a pair of dark grey shorts, along with his steel collar that had a red LED attached to it to warn anyone that was using it. Similarly, he wears thin, red glasses that he would lose in the second game. Amongst his skin, a large amount of various scars can be seen; due to what Strade has put him through. After Strade's death, Ren looks mostly the same, aside from the fact that he wore a grey hoodie along with simple black pants. Depending on the MC's choices, Ren can be shown wearing Strade's shirt as part of one of his outfits, as well. He states that he “feels safe” wearing his shirt. Ren wears the same tank top and grey shorts to bed. He also lacks his glasses in this game, and due to Strade being gone, he no longer wears the shock collar. Ren's encounter with Strade began no differently than any of Strade's previous victims. Ren was stood up by a date, leaving him alone and depressed at the Braying Mule. Strade bought him a beer and, after listening to Ren mope about how lonely he was and how much his life sucked, spilt a drink on Ren and took him out the back door under the guise of getting him to the bathroom. It was around this time that his fox ears and tail popped out, immediately catching Strade's attention. Though Strade initially planned to murder Ren, the beastkin was so spineless and desperate to please that Strade got attached, prompting Strade to make a special shock collar and keep Ren as his pet However, this lifestyle eventually came to an end when one of Strade's captives managed to attack him, stabbing him in the neck. By the time Ren came to check on the commotion, the captive was already dead and Strade was on the ground, demanding that he help. Ren, however, was frozen in place. Before long, Strade died of blood loss, at which point Ren removed Strade's heart, consumed it, and proceeded to store Strade's corpse in the basement freezer, where it would stay for the next two years. With Strade gone, Ren removed his shock collar and took over the house. Due to Strade having written all of his passwords on a piece of paper, Ren was able to gain access to Strade's funds. Ren for the most part is a charming, sweet and gentle person however he tends to be both clingy and violent sometimes as a result of his experiences with Strade. Ren does try to hold back unlike Strade however when he does snap his reaction ranges from being slightly annoyed to acting out in a feral matter. He also seems to be easily offended by anyone who presents disgust or hatred from Strade as he is quick to drag them into his basement if they show fear from Strade's snuff film or when he shocks the MC to death after they call Strade a monster.
