One year difference!

Look like that one sonic meme

an explanation of Ren’s smallness that I realize I’ve never said anywhere:

Ren was born in Japan and moved to North America. Canadian red foxes are large and bushy [ especially rural ones ]. Once I was in Hokkaido, Japan, and saw some wild street foxes. I was amazed at how tiny they were! Like half the size of the ones I’ve seen on my family’s farms in Canada!

I actually received ‘custody’ of Ren in a character trade. I gave away a character design of a demon named ‘Veni’.

EP may have designed Ren, but I consider Ren very much to be mine. 

Not to put too fine a point on it, Ren was designed to be a simple punching bag. No personality traits aside from being weak.

I played into that with the first game, but after that I saw more potential. I wrote his dialogue, I wrote his story. I let him speak. I let him be in charge and be angry.

In a way, Ren is a bit symbolic to me. He’s something I got from a terrible situation. He’s an evolution from ‘victim’ to ‘person’. He is evidence that I have power over my past and that I can shape what I received into building blocks for my future.
