Character/Personality Ren has a fierce and firey nature, native to both the Irish and the Italian side of him. He is confident and a giant flirt, with a great sense of humor. He is a bit held back towards strangers, and held back with his emotions towards everybody, especially his negative emotions. This is why people sometimes conceive him as being mysterious. He has the natural charms of an Italian, which gives him the ability to enchant everybody into liking him, and sometimes even falling for him. Though not far below the surface looms a part of him that no one wants to get to know. Ren is very loyal towards his friends and family and is very caring and sweet towards his loved ones, while he has a very excitable and feisty side to him. He is a hard worker and an undying perseverance, though he doesn't do anything he doesn't like or isn't interested in. Ren has an easy time around people and winning them over. He loves to flirt and to get attention, though his real friends are the ones that truly like him for who he is, and not because of his flirtatious nature. He does in fact like to have one-night-stands and short flings, but is hesitant about getting into a serious relationship, afraid to get stuck with the wrong person, or with someone who his family doesn't aprove off. He loves to have fun with his friends and family, from gamenight at home, to partying in a club, as long as he isn't alone. Growing up in a large family has made him uneasy with being alone, which is where his little dog Honey comes in, which keeps him company almost everywhere he goes. This also plays a part in the fact that he loves to be social, flirt, and go out. Just so he gets the attention and company he needs. Due to the nature of his upbringing and his herritages, has Ren a difficulty vicing his emotions. This ends up fueling his hot temper and his ferocious swimming. These are the only two ways he knows how to get rid of his, mainly negative, emotions. He doesn't want to be perceived as weak, and will do anything not to break down. The Irishman in him stays quiet and composed, while the Italian in him wants to shout and fight.
All in all is Ren a quiet temperamentful kid, with a lot of confidence and an undying love for the art of flirting. He has both his quiet and sweet Irish side, and his firey and flirtacious Italian side, which make-up this boy who will confiscate a part of your heart in no-tie and never give it back.
Appearance [fc: Matthew Daddario] Ren is a tall very muscular boy. The length is probably due to his genes and his spoiled life, while his muscular structure is due to his lifetime of swimming. He knows he has a great body and isn't too shy about it, though he usually does wear something to kind of cover it. He has been taught how to dress well, though he usually wears something tight to show off his muscles. He has worked hard for them, so he is allowed to show it off. Ren has short black hair, that has a life of its own. This, together with his bright and cheeky brown puppydog eyes and tan skin show part of his herritage. His eyes are surrounded by long think lashes and overshadowed by strong eyebrows. Ren's jawline is so sharp he can cut right trough paper. His lips are full and surround a bright pearly white smile.
As said before, the tall lad, loves to wear tight shirts, in cold weather covered by a suitjacket. Under this he usually wears trousers, dark with the jacket or light without the jacket. It all depends on the shirt he's wearing. His shoes are usually vans, but never worn. He has style, and class, and a geat body, which all show on the outside. This always combined with a golden cross on a golden chain.
His swimming also shows through his almost always wet or damp hair and the scent of chlorine hanging around him.
Ren has three tattoos: Nato Per Vincere on his left biscep, which means ' Born to Win' in Italian, a Gaelic Cross on his right shoulder, and a small
skyline of Boston around his right biscep.These pieces of ink mean a lot to the kid and show who he is: Half Italian, half Irish, full Boston.

Ren was born as youngest son of a large Catholic Irish-Italian-American family. His mother is the youngest daughter in a Italian-American family and his father is the oldest son in a Irish-American family. They met at the bakery of his mother, where she worked behind the counter since she was 16. His father, when he started his studies at Boston University, passed the bakery each day, and ordered a cupcake each friday. After two years, she was legal and he asked her out on a date. They started dating and were engaged within a year. They got married and the rest is history.
Ren was born as the youngst, and pampered all the way through his childhood. His mother had taken-over the bakery of her parents, where Ren and his siblings were a lot of the time outside of school, while his father was at work in the city. They all had a happy-go-lucky childhood, without any worries and full of everything they ever wanted.
Ren did quite well at school, but even better in the water. His mother had used aquatherapy during the pregnancy, and he never really left the water. He loved bath time, loved swimming, and never wanted to leave the water. His parents stimulated his swimming, which also was a great talent of him, from a very early age. His grades were fine, but his times in the pool wer far better. At the age of 12, he trained 4 days a week, and two of those days both before and after school. He loved it, and still does. He finally graduated, and got accepted into Springfield University, while he kept swimming at a national and international level.
Ren is still hopelessly single, while most of his siblings are either in a relationship, engaged, or married. He doesn't mind the single life, quite the opposite, but the fact that he hasn't told his family yet that he has had flings with both boys and girls, makes him nervous. He's afraid his family, with quite traditional views on relationships and marriage, will reject him.
Extra
Ren is bisexual, with not really a preference for one gender or the other. He does have specific taste in the types of lads and ladies he falls for.
Ren has a small dog. It's a Pomeranian named
Honey. She goes everywhere with him. It might look very silly, a tall muscular boy with a tiny fluffy dog, but no one will ever dare to tell him, because they are really close and the boy's temper is quite flamable if it concerns his little Honey.

Dislikes Drought, heat, losing, haters, chips, fighting, snakes, skinny girls, baggy shirts that hide everything, laziness, medical checks, biggots
