Ren from BTD1

Ren's female parent lived in a secretive colony of beastkin. This colony was then strict virtually not allowing humans in the colony that whatever non-beastkin babies were culled after birth. As a outcome of this policy, Ren was never allowed to meet his human father. Upon learning that his mother had killed several of his siblings before his birth, Ren fled and eventually ended upwards in Canada, completely cut contact with his mother^[1].

Ren's first encounter with Strade

Ren'due south encounter with Strade began no differently than any of Strade's previous victims. Ren was stood up past a date, leaving him lonely and depressed at the Braying Mule. Strade bought him a beer and, after listening to Ren mope nearly how lonely he was and how much his life sucked, spilt a drink on Ren and took him out the back door under the guise of getting him to the bath. It was around this fourth dimension that his play tricks ears and tail popped out, immediately communicable Strade's attention. Though Strade initially planned to murder Ren, the beastkin was so spineless and desperate to please that Strade got attached, prompting Strade to make a special shock collar and keep Ren as his pet^[ii].

However, this lifestyle eventually came to an end when one of Strade's captives (potentially the MC from BTD1) managed to attack him, stabbing him in the neck. Past the fourth dimension Ren came to bank check on the mayhem, the convict was already dead and Strade was on the ground, demanding that he help. Ren, still, was frozen in place. Shortly, Strade died of blood loss, at which signal Ren removed Strade'southward heart, consumed information technology, and proceeded to store Strade's corpse in the basement freezer, where it would stay for the side by side ii years.

With Strade gone, Ren removed his shock collar and took over the house. Due to Strade having written all of his passwords on a slice of paper, Ren was able to gain access to Strade's funds. Alone, reclusive, and yearning for company, Ren began posting on diverse gore forums, which is where he start made contact with Lawrence Oleander.

Subsequently a few months of talking, they both made the decision to meet in real life at The Jackalope. Ren'south plan was to drug Lawrence's beverage and take him home, where he'd likely exist collared and forced to be Ren'south friend or romantic partner. However, the plan goes awry, either due to MC taking Lawrence's glass or due to Lawrence deciding not to drink, causing him to promptly exit.

If MC drank from Lawrence'due south glass and ran into the alleyway while beingness chased, they'll find Ren hiding backside a dumpster, his tail sticking out. From that point, both Ren and the MC's fate is adamant by the player'due south actions.

Relationships

MC

The relationship between Ren and the MC depends on the thespian'due south actions, as ever. During their time together, still, at that place are many different ways both characters view each other. Ren views the MC every bit the perfect replacement, moving them in and giving them the same limitations he himself had. While he attempts to apply them the way he planned, he feels many conflicted emotions no affair how the MC reacts. Ren begins to wear Strade'due south wear when he has a cracking sense of confidence and commits the same acts he did. This doesn't include Lawrence's death, but if the MC makes it quick, Ren doesn't feel affected at all. When he wears a white tank top, however, he is quite submissive and weak. The reason why merely seems to be considering of the connectedness to his older days when it was the just blazon of clothing he would wear.

Lawrence is shown to be angered by Ren's sudden disappearance, equally he takes his anger out on MC presently afterwards without hesitance. Farther in Ren's route, Ren manages to play a joke on Lawrence into a small space, strapping him into a chair. Ren wants zilch from him merely to see MC torture him to death, betraying him. However, if MC murders him slowly and passionately, he feels guilty the adjacent day. Lawrence was Ren'southward first test field of study as the new "Strade." His sensitivity only comes into play one time he realizes that he actually cared about him in some manner when MC represents his sadism.
