Name: Renjiro – goes by Renji

Pokemon: Scyther

Age: 26

Village: Scorch Mountain

Job: Worker – works primarily as a farmhand, whilst also picking up other odd jobs. At night, however, he works as a smuggler and transports illegal goods.

Ability: Technician

Attacks:
Pursuit - does double damage when target is fleeing
X Scissor – can only use when wielding a weapon

Likes: Free time, carving, sleeping, being outside, rice dishes, fishing on occasion, lazy days, working the earth

Dislikes: Lack of choice or control in a situation, confinement (whether physical or metaphorical), lots of questions, innocent or completely oblivious people, hurting others, blood

Personality: In a word, Renji is crass. He is rude, ill mannered, insensitive, and blunt. He says what’s on his mind without hesitation, and holds no qualms on pointing out obvious flaws. He acts in a way which suits him, and will not vary from individual to individual – for a smuggler he is unexpectedly honest, and will pointedly change a subject or flat out refuse to answer as opposed to lying.

He is also very laid back, relaxed. He almost has a lazy manner about him, especially in the way he speaks. He often comes off as unintelligent for this reason, but in reality is extremely well spoken and observant. Despite this, he isn’t typically quick to judge, or hold much of anything against anyone. He doesn’t care who you are or what you do, as it doesn’t affect him. This means his morals tend to be rather in the grey; his own needs and wants are valued above all others, and the only one he feels he has to impress is himself.

This does not make him completely heartless, however. On the contrary, Renji is very capable of caring – whether or not he expresses it depends on if it would be harmful to him or not. Heroics may not be his thing, but he’d share his lunch with a hungry stranger, should he not have much interest in eating at that time.

Over all, what matters most to him are his own actions and choices. He hates feeling forced into a decision, or forced to make one. Consequences of his actions are not important to him unless he was the one to directly inflict them. Transporting a poison which is then used to kill someone would not weigh heavily on his conscious; he was not the one who made that choice, and is thus not responsible for it.

History: Hailing from the Bronze Coast, Renji had a simple upbringing. He lived in one of the many small coastal villages, helping his parents tend to their farm and sell their crops at market. It was at this marketplace he came across a girl, around the same age as him – fourteen - idly assisting her parents. They’d often get caught talking to each other instead of working, but slowly their fondness for one another grew, and their parents grew slack in trying to deter them. Over the years, friendship became romance, but childish recklessness led to mistakes.
At sixteen, the two found themselves as soon-to-be parents. Her family was furious when they found out – a child out of wedlock? It was shameful. Renji’s parents were equally as displeased, demanding he wed the girl as soon as possible and put things right again. She herself was stressed – this wasn’t supposed to happen, what would they do?
And Renji, in a panic, ran.

He wasn’t ready for that; for responsibility, for marriage. A kid? He couldn’t be a father, not him. Not now. But with that choice came consequences – the village knew, and their families were shamed. And his sweetheart – the position he’d put her in was far less than favorable. But his time, his future – those were choices he alone wanted to make, and not because he had to.
And so he left his old life behind.

He spent a few years taking jobs working where he could, in places he wasn’t recognized – hard to do when everyone tended to gather together during the summer months. But he kept low key, working on fishing ships, on small farms, in orchards.  Sometimes he helped transport goods via sea – and that was how it started.

Contraband. He hadn’t known at first – but upon the discovery, he was threatened with being tossed overboard. With a shrug, he simply answered he had no problem with it – money was money, right? From then on, he slowly fell into the trade of smuggling – and became alarmingly good at it. He was fast, quiet, and didn’t stick out in a crowd; many dangerous goods were delivered by his hand.

It was when Yveltal struck that things changed. He saw his country fall, before death took him as well. When they were revived, there was chaos – the politics were changing, people were angry. The group he worked with was scattered. Time, he decided, for him to move on.
He found himself on a ship to the Sun Empire; new stomping grounds, new chances. He struck a deal with a farm owner – a home as a live in tenant, in exchange for working the land and fields.
But once you’ve worked for the darker trades, it has a means of finding you again – it wasn’t long before Renji found himself moving goods in the dark of night once more.

Life goes on.
