Name: Rennan (aka Ren)
Species: Clockwork Yonyuu
Gender: Male
Role: Smart Guy
Magic "Rule": He has to physically touch with his hands anything he wants to dissect or manipulate with magic, and can't control what he gleams from objects that he does touch.
Personality or Link to Zoo Pen: (His name/personality isn't up in my zoo pen yet, eheh...) Ren spends his time glued to books and other forms of information. He keeps quiet about himself, keeping most of his past wrapped up behind his glasses, but prides himself on having the technical answers at a moment's notice. He grew up in foster homes, acutely aware that "mom and dad" weren't his parents, and hasn't yet forgiven the Powers that Be for his life. He's usually fairly loyal, though, to his friends - nobody but NOBODY touches them, as far as he's concerned, without getting their butts soundly beaten.
Edit: Silly Open Office, only copying half of my description...
Ren's abilities lead him to avoid physical contact with both other people and objects whenever possible, except when his hands are covered adequately, making him come off as a bit distant. His biggest weakness, though, is definitely his past - picking at
that wound is a one-way ticket to dismantling him, and as such he responds to questions about his past with annoyance and anger. His separation from others, too, makes him rather dense when it comes to things like why a girl would get upset about the Big Bad kissing her. At the same time, the why's of emotion rarely matter to him - all he needs to know is that his friend
is upset, and that the Big Bad is the cause, and he'll gladly pitch in to remove the threat.
ETA: He finally has a human form! (But still not a place in my pen... eep.)
For those of you who get the reference, the robot's name is "Deadblow..."
