overall appearance
To be blunt and to the point, Ren is cute. No, he doesn’t radiate raw sexiness like some boys at school do, but he has a certain appeal to him that’s hard to deny. However, if you went up to Ren and told him so, even straight out, he’d probably blush and deny it. He’s not arrogant in the slightest and often gets embarrassed when people tell him that he’s cute or whatever, since he doesn’t think so. Well, sometimes, he’ll joke about his looks, but that’s just it, he’s only joking.

Anyway, enough about that. I’m sure you want to know what the boy actually looks like now, don’t you? Well, let’s start from the top and work our way down, shall we? A head of messy, black hair rests on the top of his cranium. As I just said, his hair is messy and his bangs are usually swept to the side when they aren’t hanging in his face, which they are quite often. To Ren, it’s the most annoying part about his hair, it falling in his eyes, but other than that, he loves his hair. Seriously, he’s attached to it both literally and figuratively.

Ren’s eyes are his best feature…or so he thinks. They’re a icy blue in color and, if the lighting is correct, they appear to be white, but the majority of the time, they just look like a regular blue color. They’re almond in shape and framed by abnormally thick eyelashes for a boy. He doesn’t know who he even inherited them from, but he did, and he often gets asked if he’s wearing makeup, which he’s not, but usually ignores the question whenever it’s asked.

Now, if you asked anyone else what the best feature on Ren McKenzie ’s face was, they’d flat out tell you that it was his lips. Not that they’re big, plump, and pouty like Angelina Jolie’s are, hell no, no one’s lips could be ever match up to hers. Rather, they’re what some girls call ‘luscious’. Ren doesn’t like to think so and more often than not chews on his lower lip whenever he’s not talking and just sitting there. To Ren, that's his signature, biting his lip. When he's nervous for a long amount of time, he'll get a little sore on his lip. Or when he's mad and holding it all in, he'll bit his lip until it bleeds.

Ren stands at a rather unimpressive five foot eight, which is shorter than a lot of boys his age, but he’s most certainly not the shortest person in his age group. He’s not bone thin, because that’s just gross, but because of his high metabolism and his love for playing soccer, but he’s not all big and bulky like other jocks. He’s just…well, thin. He tries to gain weight so he won’t be considered scrawny, but he never seems to be able to.

Ren usually wears whatever’s comfortable. And, for Ren, that’s usually a band tee shirt or any old tee shirt that he can find with a pair of well worn jeans. Adorning his feet are always a pair of Vans, whether it be a pair of solid black slip on Vans or his one with the penguins on it, he loves his Vans. Try to take them away and Ren will get angry. His mother had always picked Vans for him, and to him, that's like the last memory he has had of her.

overall personality
Ren is blunt, sarcastic, and doesn’t have an ‘indoor voice’. Unfortunately, most of those qualities are frowned upon in a young man. He has an ‘I don’t care what you think about me’ attitude, but like most, is very self-conscious deep down; this has made him very awkward in certain situations. Growing up with demanding parents, Ren has a lot to live up to; this has made him a people pleaser. He would do anything to make everyone happy, and absolutely hates it when people are mad or displeased with him, which usually gets him into tight spots. He is also extremely uncomfortable with confrontation, and even though he seems strong willed, avoids it at all costs.

Ren has a great sense of humor and uses wit and sarcasm (mixed with his bad jokes) whenever he can, though most people don’t catch them. He loves to over-dramatize things and his mood can change instantaneously; either dropping to a somber depression, or pitching up to an almost giddy mood. He also has a tendency to be shy, almost coy, around a girl he may be crushing on at the time, attempting to drop subtle hints: failing. Ren can get excited quickly, usually leading to his unabashed clumsiness; he more often falls up the stairs than down them. He is an extreme animal lover (a vegetarian as well) and loves all the music he can get his hands on

If there’s one thing that can be said about Ren that was mentioned before, it’s his charm. There’s just something to him that makes people like him. Whether it’s the goofy faces he’s always making, or the cute grins he gives whenever he knows your about to laugh, he just has that certain touch to him that makes him nearly irresistible. He comes off as that adorable guy that you just can’t get enough of, but, before you know it, you start liking him for the person inside and see that he can be serious…psh, yeah right. Ren, serious? Ha, that doesn’t belong in the same sentence. That’s like putting George W. Bush and smart together. It just doesn’t work.

overall history
Ren was born in London, England to Ian and June McKenzie. His father was a huge business tycoon, already a multi-millionaire by the time he was born. His mother was a house wife, the perfect hostess. His father was dark haired and romantic. His mother had artificially curled blonde hair and heavy make-up. They were what society called 'the perfect couple'. And Ren was supposed to be their perfect child.

His mother had tried to have children before, but had lost four to still-birth. Ren was a blessing to His mother. The only other family was an Aunt named Kate, His mother's sister. She was fifteen when Ren was born. Kate and June's parents died when June got married, so Kate was forced to live with the couple. Kate was a troubled teen, spending a lot of her time with the opposite sex, drinking and doing drugs. June and Ian simply turned a blind eye. After all, she wasn't their child.

But June was an alcoholic. She spent most of her day, blinding drunk. The world saw a different June. Every time His father threw a business party, June was perfect and smiling. When she was alone, she was passed out on the couch. She wasn't affectionate like a good mother should have been, and Ian was always gone. Ren was left to His own devices. Kate, His surrogate mother, taught him to read when he started kindergarten at the local elementary school. Ren be came an avid reader by the time he reached third grade, reading anything he could get his hands on, even if he didn't understand it.

When Ren was ten and in fourth grade, he walked into the living room to find his mom on her couch once again. She was sent to wake her up by his father. He shook his mother, irritated that she wasn't responding. He began to yell angrily, angry that his mother was a drunk, angry that he had to go to school and face the rumors while his mother drank away her worries. He then realized how cold his mother was. Blisteringly cold. It felt like knives on his fingertips. He jumped back, looking at his fingers, afraid that he was sick or something.

His aunt Kate walked in at that moment, now twenty-five and walked over to June, an exasperated look on her face. She had long since cleaned herself up, now a journalist for the local newspaper. She was blonde and pretty, her large blue eyes innocent yet seeming to hold the secrets to the world. Ren was very fond of Kate. Anyway, Kate realized that something was wrong with June and felt for her pulse. After a moment's silence, she began to scream frantically. Ren jumped once, his dark eyes large and luminous, but after that he stood deadly still, a cold growing in the pit of his belly.

The funeral was held two days later. Ren stood at Kate's side, his hands clenched in fists. He would not cry. He would not cry. It wasn't his mother that had died. It wasn't. He would not cry.

After finding his mother, who had died of alcohol poisoning, Ren became more outgoing. It seemed that he could finally breathe. He spent more time with Kate, who had become more of a best friend than and aunt, playing games and fabricating stories. One day, when he was fifteen, he overheard a conversation between Ian and Kate. Kate said she couldn't keep the secret anymore and Ian stormed out of the house. Kate told the whole story to Ren.

June was distressed that she hadn't been able to have a healthy child. She asked her sister, her fifteen year old sister, to do her a favor. She asked her to sleep with her husband, a one-time thing. She asked her to have a child by her husband and give it to her. In return, Kate could stay with them and be financially protected for life. Kate, being an already tapped-out teen, agreed. She had Ren, a healthy baby with the equivalent of June's genes. It was basically her child, wasn't it?

You would have thought that Ren would be ecstatic about such news, but he flipped out. They had lied to him his whole life. He wasn't happy. He locked herself in his room for the rest of that day and the next. His father was horrified that Kate had actually told Ren. Since he didn't want his reputation jeopardized, he sent Ren away to a high school.
