Gusoku, Renn [Approved 5-1]

Name: Renn Gusoku
Titles: N/A
Gender: Male
Appearance Age: 20
Age: 194
Affiliation/Rank: Gosei 13 - 13th Division (Unseated)

Appearance Description: Renn stands at just over 5'10". Weighing in at 177 lbs, he has a slightly average build to his body. His unkempt brunette hair seems to go everywhere no matter how you treat it beyond the ponytail which extends down to the center of Renn's shoulderblades. His blue-green eyes tend to stick from the rest of his image and are often what people are drawn to when looking at him.

Rather than keep his traditional shinigami attire, Renn prefers to wear the armour his father made for him, as it fits his form better and offers more protection. The small amount of shinigami attire Renn chooses to wear is dyed a cerulean color and is draped over his right shoulder, held in place by a few straps and his leather belt that sports his Zanpakutō.

Personality: Renn has always been a bit of a recluse, never going out of his way to get in other's business. That being said, Renn never had a lack of friends, but instead of a legion of acquaintances, he had a small group of very trusted friends. Renn also had a bit of an empathic nature. He had gotten very accustomed to noticing small things like body language and facial expressions and uses that to figure the emotional state of the person he's observing. Renn always tries to be kind to others around him, but he has been known to have a short "fuse" which can make him snap when under stress. That is something Renn actively tries to control, but there are times when he can't. Renn can be very stubborn when he is determined. He feels that it would be wrong to shake from his original goal unless something very compelling comes along to change his mind about the matter. Renn is also fascinated about living world technology. He find that the vast difference in technological ability as something impossible to not enjoy, seeing as he before thought the pinnacle of technology humans could reach would never meet anything near what the seireitei had.

Likes: Helping others, being with friends, training techniques, living world technology

Dislikes: Thugs, arrogance, discrimination, being unable to help

History: Renn was born and raised with his family on the inner edges of the Rukongai. Renn's family was one of artisans who specialized in making armour of various kinds. The family often got business from shinigami who wished to add more defensive capabilities to their attire. Renn's father, the best smith in the family, often let Renn and his two older brothers help out despite how young they were.

Something changed around the time Renn was hitting puberty. He began, much to the amazement and amusement of his brothers and friends, to be able to summon small spheres of light around him. They often varied in size and would circle Renn. Doing this, however, would leave Renn with a sharp pain in his stomach, which he later learned was hunger. After this, when a shinigami came around while Renn was helping out, he noticed that he could feel something different in him than the rest of the family. It was faint, but the shinigami suggested that Renn might be able to become a shinigami himself one day. Extatic that one of the family might have the honor of becoming a shinigami, the family started to tech Renn in basic combat techniques while he started to learn how to better control this newfound ability of his.

By the time Renn went to enter the Academy, he had been able to summon many orbs, move them at will, and even fuse them together into a large sphere. While in the Academy, Renn was a natural when it came to Kido, easily being in the top twenty percent of his class. By the time he graduated, Renn was even able to some low power Kido, such as Sai or Sho, without using their incantations. Much to Renn's surprise, he seemed to be fairly skilled with a weapon as well. What his family had taught him had helped, but most of that was based on instinct, what Renn excelled at was adaptability. Renn functioned best when counter-attacking, always keeping a eye on his opponent and the surroundings and coming up with a plan of attack on the fly.

When it came time to enter the Gotei 13, Renn wasn't entirely sure what to do. He had gotten requests to join the fifth and eleventh squads, due to his skill with Kido and Zanjutsu, but focusing on one or the other felt wrong to Renn. Something about Squad Thirteen felt right, however. Perhaps it was the base instinct of helping others that drew him, or simply the good reputation of the unity of that squad. Whatever the cause, Renn requested to join Squad Thirteen and shortly later found himself welcomed warmly into their ranks.

Roleplay Sample: (Taken from another RP site I'm on)
As Warren had slid behind his "cover" he had heard a another shot fired by the woman on the catwalks. A twinge of pain followed by the feeling of budding liquid confirmed Warren's thoughts - he had been shot. Thankfully, the shot wasn't that serious having only hit the flesh on the outside of his left shoulder. Still, the fact that Warren was shot would put a serious damper on his abilities if he got caught in a firefight before he got to some Medi-gel. Gritting his teeth through the growing pain, Warren popped up from behind his cover and aimed his Raptor at... nothing, it seems. The woman was gone.

Warren scanned the catwalks, trying to see if the woman simply changed her position, but it was fruitless. Even with Warren's augmented vision, the woman had simply disappeared from sight. Putting himself back behind his "cover," Warren slid his jacket off of his left shoulder and ripped part of his sleeve from his shirt. Things were getting heated down below with terrorists making their way into the bar and holding up the place, making it clear they were looking for one person: the same one Cerberus was here for. Widow had barked orders about getting out of the bar as Warren was finishing up making a makeshift bandage from his sleeve using his free hand and mouth. As gunfire broke out once more while Widow and Tyra made their escape, Warren collapsed his Raptor and placed it back into his bag of provisions before making his way out of Flux and off the catwalks as fast as he could.

With a wounded arm, it was slightly more difficult to get off the catwalk system, but Warren managed regardless, albeit at a much slower than average pace. Once down onto the ground level, Warren checked his omni-tool. The closest way down from the catwalks outside of Flux placed him at a bit of a distance away from the rendezvous point, so he'd have to hurry along to catch up to Widow and "Athena." Shifting the bag on his back, Warren started running towards the rendezvous, making sure to stay out of large crowds along the way. Thankfully, things had gone well as Warren reached the docks area. Just before reaching the rendezvous, Warren managed to catch up with Tyra. He simply nodded to the woman as reaching Widow was more important than socializing. Upon entering the alleyway to the rendezvous, Warren was looking down the barrel of a Hornet.

"Ma'am," Warren nodded.
