Ren Lee
If I can help it, I'll help it.

The Biography

Birth Name:Ren Lee
Aliases:Alkaline
Gender:Male
Age:18
Birth Day: 4/24
Arcana:Hierophant
Place of Residence:Sunlake Palms
Evoker: Mental Shackles
Academy Semester:Third year
Class: 3-C

Sorority:Athletics (Soccer) and Anime Club

Part/Full Time Job: Freelance Web Developer

Appearance: Ren stands at an average 5'9, weighing at 120lb. Black hair at medium length, disheveled with strands that stick out. The left side of his hair is shortened from his previous haircut as an undercut. After that, he just let it grow out as it pleased.
He always wears those black rimmed glasses to hide those tired, droopy brown eyes caused by hours of late-night gaming. He has a rather skinny build, enough to see his ribs without his shirt, slender limbs, narrow shoulders, but a prominent jawline. Despite being inside all day, Ren has surprisingly tanned skin due to his father.

The clothes he often wears are jeans and thin hoodies he likes to roll the sleeves up. Even as a bit of a shut-in, Ren likes to keep an array of clothing that range from cardigans and bomber jackets and even a suit (that he wears to see how cool he'd look). But the only constant are his jeans and some accessories.
Said accessories include: his two bracelets; one being a Buddha rosary bracelet, and the other is a blue-and-red evil eyes, and earphones.

Alternate Appearance:A checkered cape similar to what his Persona "Paimon" wears. A wooden mask with roots growing at the ends of it. Ren becomes clad in a white robe that falls around his ankles, contrasted by stark black gloves that begin at his forearms. He has no footwear, but something like bark grows from his ankles to his knees. In addition to an appearance change, Ren materializes a taiko drum which he uses to summon his powers.

Personality:In public, Ren tries his best to keep to himself. Often times you would see him listening to music, trying to become one with the background...But often times you'd be surprised to see how engaging he is during conversations. It's not that he dislikes attention, Ren finds difficulty in opening up, and would prefer to be left alone if possible. He finds himself a bit on the depressed side, i.e being mentally exhausted after being with friends, wildly uncomfortable in crowds larger than 3 people, often finding himself in a spiral of self loathing... But overall he prides himself in being mature and a supportive friend that's always there for others.

However, on the net, it's a different story. Ren is most active and open in his chatroom with his friends, and has nearly no trouble making new friends online. He is an avid user of emoticons and his online-catchphrase is "Getcha!". He's as serious as serious comes, but knows how to let loose on the internet. Some say his "true self" comes from his alias known as "Alkaline".

During crucial times or under pressure is when another side of Ren appears. Those tired, droopy eyes become sharp and pensive. He takes charge when no one else can, and becomes the reliable leader that can support the troops on the forefront of danger. He is always prepared to lay his life down for his allies, and his fierce devotion and courage is a force to be reckoned with.

The Potential

Strengths: (Anything your character is skilled in, such as Martial Arts/ Drawing/ etc? You are allowed a maximum of five strengths and a minimum of three.)

—Strength Name:Eyes on the prize
—Description: Between late-night gaming and soccer practice, Ren has built up an impressive constitution. He doesn't get tired easily, nor will he fall easily. Both his mental and physical fortitude is at an impressive level. (10% HP)

—Strength Name: Book smarts, I guess
—Description: Thanks to his time spent on the web, Ren has amassed an impressive encyclopedic mind. He becomes sort of the pinnacle of smarts in his friend group. (Double knowledge points gained)

—Strength Name: Agile
—Description: From a young age, Ren has been doing soccer as a hobby up until high school, in which he joins the soccer team. Due to that, he must participate in daily training activities which keeps him at top physical condition. Not that he really does anything with it besides soccer, but he would've never known he'd have to use it for more than just soccer...(Doubled running speed)

—Strength Name: I'll Lead You!
—Description: His fierce devotion and his desire to protect only makes him stronger when his friends are counting on him. He'll do anything to lead them to victory. (10% boost to all tactical support skills)

((A floating Strength is a strength you've gained in RP. For example, if you were on a Kendo team for some time, you'd naturally know Kendo which is where this strength would come in. However, be aware, it will not be as strong as any of your actual strengths and is a small plus)

Weaknesses: (You must have the same amount of weaknesses as strengths. These weaknesses pertain to you and not your Persona. IE: Physically Weaker, lack of attention span, etc.)

—Weakness Name: Stonefaced

—Weakness Name: Childhood Fear
—Description: Comforted by the warm light of his computer screen and his lamp...There is a secret fear Ren tells no one about. Due to a childhood fear of the dark, he is unable to function properly in the darkness. (10% weakness to dark spells)

He also has a patch of his favorite anime character stitched onto the left boot.

The Background

History: Born and raised in Endymion, Ren made a successful, yet ephemeral career in online-gaming when he was just in middle school. His debut came when he became the world cup champion for a popular online rhythm game. After that, Ren was longer heard from again from his old gaming community, and moved on to casual gaming. Years later, Ren self-taught himself how to code and became a known name as a freelancer web developer.

When he was nearly 9 years old, his mother had passed away due to illness, and he and his father were left. Determined to raise Ren as a fine young man, he signed him up for youth soccer, where Ren excelled due to his father's encouragement. Eventually they had to move out of their old home and into a new, smaller one. Then finally, Ren was old enough to attend Seven Stars Academy. From the very first year, Ren signed up for the soccer team, and was found himself in Anime Club for social reasons.

Alright, so let's get this grading process underway, shall we?

First and foremost, your consitiution Strength should boost either HP or SP, not both, and by 10% only (Since your weakness to counteract this only gives a 10% increase to Strike Damage taken). Secondly, you as a character can already take hits for allies (It's a gameplay mechanic for everyone, unless there's a weakness on a character preventing it from being accessed from the getgo). Your Knowledge gaining strength, while fine, needs a weakness that makes you gain less points towards another social quality, to balance it out.

By Agility, I assume you mean Luck, which is our main stat for accuracy and critical checks in battle, so that one's fine. And not all Weaknesses/Strengths need to be PvS combat oriented. You could give him normal traits as well, like being better at running, or having good reflexes, or just things for flavor, like being a good singer. We do have PvP here, and those kinds of strengths/weaknesses help out a lot, but in the end, it's up to you. Just make sure you have an equal amount of Combat Strengths and Weaknesses. And that's it I think. Given the nature of your soulbound, I don't need any dimensions on it. Just let me know when your Persona is completed, and I'll have a look at it as well.

Cheers.
